About two hours ago, the FBI busted into John Bol in Bethesda, Maryland about 7:00'. Clock. The FBI cash Patel just took to Kash Patel took to Twitter or to X and said no one capitalized, no one is above the law. FBI agents on a mission. That's all he said in regards to John Bolton. What that mission is I'm not sure other than it apparently revolves top secret documents that John Bolton had omega that one. We'll talk about that here in just a second.

Stu, what do you think this John Bolton thing is about?
- [05:24]
C
That's an interesting question. I mean I think that there is real suspicion by some in the White House that he was using classified documents to wind up trashing Trump after they had their little breakup. And, you know, in his book, he mentions lots of details and I frankly would not be surprised at all if he has classified documents. I've been consistent in this from the beginning. I will say that. I don't, I'm not really that concerned, frankly, about, you know, these high level officials having classified documents at their houses. I don't, I don't. I mean, if you have, if you've caught them selling them to, you know, the Russians or something, then that is a real scandal. But like the fact that a bunch of people take home stuff from their office. I was consistent on this with Trump and with Biden. I really just don't care that much about it. I feel like it's an overblown scandal. But Trump is not happy with the way that Bolton treated him after they split. And so.
- [06:23]
A
So you think, are you, do you think this is a really, you think you could do that? To me, this is a political payback?
- [06:30]
C
I don't think it's that simple. I mean, look, I do think that if John Bolton was out there on the news every day saying how wonderful Donald Trump is, I'm skeptical as to whether his home would be raided. That, yes, I would say if you look at it from that side, I think that's pretty obvious. However, I don't think that's the only reason. I don't think he's just targeting random enemies or perceived opponents. He's got a lot of those and he could be raiding everybody's house. Right. I think he does actually suspect that. And again, I say he, the people around him, the administration, people who are responsible for doing this, I don't think he's necessarily directing this at his hand. I'm just saying people like Kash Patel. Kash Patel wrote in his book that he thought John Bolton was a key member of the deep state. He had his suspicions coming into that role, and I think he's trying to see if those suspicions were accurate.
- [07:25]
A
Yeah, I agree with you on that last part. Especially strongly that I don't think Donald Trump is actually directing all of this stuff. I think he's hired competent people and he has directed them to take apart the deep state. And I wouldn't doubt that John Bolton is part of the deep state. I wish we were going after others first. But, you know, hey, if he was part of the deep state and he has broken the law in some way or another, then he should pay. I agree with you to some degree about the classified documents Everybody does it, apparently. I wouldn't, you know, it says classified. I'm not taking it home. So, you know, you either have to declassify a bunch of stuff that doesn't matter, which is really the right thing to do. Stop over classifying things, declassify the things that don't matter. And you know, if you take them home, you take them home. Okay, but class, the classified information should mean classified information, eyes only, you know, that kind of stuff that, that should mean what it says. And you can't, you can't, you can't hold some people accountable for classified information and others not if, you know, it's, this started with Hillary Clinton. I mean, you want to know the biggest offender of this was Hillary Clinton taking the things out of the skiff and then retyping them and sending them to her over the open Internet. I mean, that's, that's insanity. But nobody would do anything about her. So wait, we went after, we went after Donald Trump, but not Hillary Clinton, and we didn't do anything about Joe Biden, who had the stuff. But now we're going after, you know, John Bolton. Okay, you go after John Bolton. Let's make sure we're going after everybody who takes classified information home or is doing something with it. If you have classified information at home, you know, and it happens to be next to your Corvette, you know, and, but everybody does it, well, then it's not a problem. Unless you've used it. Unless you've, unless you've taken that information and you've exposed that information or use that information for blackmail or to destroy somebody or whatever. Then, then I'm sorry, you didn't just take it home. You took it home with a reason. And that's a problem.
- [09:57]
C
And I think that's what. Yeah, I think, yes, I think that that's what the suspicion is. Right. I mean, he certainly has written in his book very critically about Trump. I mean, he revealed a lot of internal details. Now, some of that could have been memory, right? I mean, he was there and he was involved in a lot of those things. He was a high level Trump official. Right. So he was in the middle of a lot of these conversations. And whether you believe all the stuff he said or not, it's not surprising that he would come out with a book that was critical of Trump after they kind of had a split. That being said, you're right, I think if he's using that stuff to bolster those claims, if he's doing that, that's a problem. There are levels of it and I think you're right. If you're just taking home documents into maybe some that shouldn't even be classified, it's slap on the wrist territory. I don't think that it's necessarily that serious. If you're using it though, for your own personal enrichment, which might be an accusation here or that just to sink a president or an opponent, that could be serious.
- [11:05]
A
Stop over classifying things is the first step. Start holding everybody accountable for if they take something and then decide was it an actual mistake or is this a pattern? Are they using it for anything? But there has to be clear laws and if it's a law, then you have to hold them accountable and you have to hold everyone accountable. I mean. Tim, in. Where are you in Maine, Tim?
- [11:34]
B
Yes, sir, I'm in Maine.
- [11:36]
A
Yeah. So you're, you're kind of on the same thing with John Bolton. Go ahead with your thought.
- [11:41]
B
My thoughts are, is we've been extremely critical of Bondi and, and everybody in the higher, the higher echelon now that's trying to unravel this mess, you or I would be in jail doing preconfinement, waiting for our trials to come up. We can't, we can't have this anymore. People are getting restless and I'm afraid.
- [12:06]
A
For what could happen if we, if.
- [12:08]
B
We fail at this venture.
- [12:10]
A
So, Tim, I agree with you to some degree, but let me ask you, do you feel that we're starting to see some progress? Because I felt this way strongly about so far. Three months ago, two months ago I was like, I'm not seeing any progress. But now I am starting to see, you know, there are three grand juries that have been convened on some of the stuff that has been released. It looks like Donald Trump is starting to take control of Washington D.C. and the crime on the streets. The people's perception is changing and I think that they're starting to get their arms around some of the corruption. But I, it's taking a lot longer than I had hoped. But are you seeing any changes in that? Is it getting worse, better or about the same?
- [13:02]
B
No, no, it's getting better for sure. But we've got a. You're going to have trouble lining up these, lining up these dominoes so they fall correctly. And I think starting at a local level was the best way to do that because normally they eat themselves when you start at the bottom and you work your way up. I just retired from corrections and it's the same way. These people are acting no different. They're at a criminal Level all of them at a criminal level that they're starting to haul in there. You and I just can't make stuff up.
- [13:29]
A
I mean, try getting a mortgage and lying about it.
- [13:32]
B
You can't do it.
- [13:33]
A
And that's a great way, you know.
- [13:35]
B
Broken windows type of event, if you will go back to New York.
- [13:38]
A
I agree, I agree with you. I agree with you, Tim. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. You know, that's the one thing about the mortgage thing, too. You know, they went after Donald Trump about the mortgage for in what they say was inflating the price of Mar A Lago. I don't know what the price of Mar A Lago is. I don't think anybody does. You know, there are no comps for Mar A Lago. It is a, literally a national historic site. He's pumped tens, maybe even $100 million into that thing since he bought it. You know, they wanted to sell it for $30 million when it was a complete wreck. And that's what they tried to do with, you know, his, with his trial up in New York. That was, you know, the one that they just overturned the $500 million fine on because he said it was worth, I don't remember the exact numbers, $500 million. And the bank said, no, it's worth $200 million. But that's the way it happens. You know, I can say my house is worth anything, but, you know, when you buy a house or you sell a house, there's going to be somebody come out to appraise it. That's how the banks, that's how the banks work. So when he said, my, you know, Mar A Lago is worth 500 million, they didn't take his word for it. They went out and they assessed it and they gave it a value and they said it was 300 million or whatever. That's what he was tried for. That, that's, that's opinions, okay? That's not lying. That's an opinion. And it's also something so stupid because if, if you really are trying to get away with it, you're not going to get away with it. And somebody who is in the real estate business knows that because they know the banks send out somebody to appraise the value. What the real crime here is, and nobody seems to be really doing anything. I'm anxious to see if Adam Schiff goes to jail. What Adam Schiff did is, is more of a crime that you and I would go to jail for immediately. And it's a real crime. He's claiming that he lives in his home in. I don't remember, Maryland, but he's also claiming that he lives in his home as his. His main home in California. Well, when you have. When you have your residence that you. You get a special tax deduction for that, you pay less, because that is your PR now, if you go and you have a second home, you pay. You. You don't get that exemption. Okay. You pay more money in taxes for the second home. Well, Adam Schiff was. Was claiming, you know, primary residence in two states. That's against the law. You can't do that. That is actual fraud. You know, I know they're investigating him. And there's, like, three people that have done this recently. Three big. I think they're all Democrats, but three big politicians have done this recently. Why aren't they in jail now? Because, you know, you and I would be in jail. The. The IRS would be all over us. They'd be swarming us, and we wouldn't have a chance of avoiding jail. I don't care who you are. This is the thing that Donald Trump has to fix, and I think he is. I, you know, I was really hard on Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi, I. I think is starting to get it together a little bit more. It seems to be moving forward. We do have. We do have grand juries that have been convened. It looks like we might have some arrests that are coming. They are building a case slowly but surely. I mean, the new information that came out about James Comey just today is pretty damning. You know, they released to Congress. They released redacted stuff. And I think it was Pam Bondi who went over it and said, you can't release this. You got to release it unredacted. Because Unredacted tells the whole story about James Comey. And it looks like he knowingly was releasing classified information, knowingly telling people to leak it to the New York Times. All of that is illegal. And they just released that, I think, yesterday, unredacted. So you're starting to see Pam Bondi actually do her job in a way where she's building a case now. It's got to go somewhere. It's not good enough. It is only more frustrating when we know, wait a minute, there are the facts. There they are. And then they do nothing. So we'll see. We'll see. Patience, patience, patience on this. Uh, all right, let me tell you about Prageru. Imagine you're walking through a museum, and the paintings are. Are beautiful, but half of them have Been painted over blank canvas where history used to be. You know, I love these people are like, I love America. We just want to remake it. Wait, what? I love the Mona Lisa. I just want to remake it. No, no, let's restore it. Okay? It's worth restoring. But right now, stories are being erased, truths are being whitewashed, ideas edited out because they don't fit the current script. Prageru is the restoration crew. They don't just give you facts. They bring you history, science, and values back in a way that is engaging, accessible, and impossible to ignore. The five minute videos that feel like somebody handed you the missing pages from a book you've been reading your whole life. That's really important in a world that you'd rather paint over with truth. Prageru picks up the brush and restores the full picture. I have to tell you, I've partnered recently with Prager U. I'm doing something. I'm hosting these videos that are going to be put into high schools all around the country through the Department of Education. And they are very, very clear on history. And we use the artifacts and all of the actual facts to tell you the story, good and bad about America. And it is, it's remarkable. We did Sunday and Monday, I think we did three of these videos. They're five minute videos. We did three of these videos and the research that went into preparing them and then the checking of every single word to make sure we got it right. I mean, we argued back and forth over. Over concepts. Is that really fair to say that? Is it really right to say this? I mean, they do their job. We're really trying to do a good job to restore prageru.com Glenn, they need your donation. I've donated my time, I've donated my money to help put these things together there. Right now they will dollar for dollar until the end of August. So if you can make a donation today@prageru.com Glenn. That's prageru.com Glenn. 10 seconds and back to the show. All right, let me go to Eve in Utah. Let me start. Actually, let me start with Robert in Washington. I'm sorry. And then Eve will get to you next. Robert, go ahead. Robert, are you there? Hi. Go ahead.

Longtime listener, first time caller. Thank you. What's on my mind would be the raising of the minimum wage. Minimum wage is never designed as a living wage and as a skilled laborer myself all day did when they raised the minimum wage was close. The gap between us skilled laborers and unskilled laborers.
- [21:28]
A
Correct.
- [21:28]
B
On my Mind, how do we get back to that difference to where we have people that actually want to go out and get a skill and not try to make a living on minimum wage?
- [21:41]
A
So here's. This is going to be a tougher question to answer in the future because we have AI coming. By the way, did anybody see what Elon Musk tweeted yesterday? Oh, this is terrifying. He said, wait until you see the new version of Grok. I've never seen anything like it. I do believe we've hit AGI, so that's scary. But anyway, it's going to change and get even harder for labor all across the board. But you're asking a question, calling from Washington. You really have, you've seen this firsthand. You either have to change the leadership in Washington State or you need to move to a state that understands Washington State is, I believe, lost. As lost as California and Oregon. They're not, they're not coming back. They're going to get worse and worse and worse until they collapse on their own weight. And I think that's close. But you've seen firsthand what happens because you, you can't afford as a business to pay somebody as a entry level job to do those things and then, and then pay them something where it's just, I'd be better off paying somebody who has real skills to do that and ask them to do a little bit more. That's the way business thinks. They're not going to pay somebody who, who doesn't know how to do the job. Those high, high levels. The only thing that will solve that is not the federal government, it's your own state. Those are state and they should remain as powers of the state. This is Glenn Beck. You ever stop to think about all the moments in life that really hinge on one single decision? Maybe it was a job you took, the person you married, the move you made. Looking back, it's amazing how one choice can alter the whole trajectory of your life. Now think about this. A young woman sits in a clinic. She's scared, she's confused. She's convinced she has absolutely no options. Everybody in her life tells her that she's on the edge of a decision that will change her life and another life forever. And in that moment, what she needs most is the truth. Not pressure, not judgment, just a glimpse of the child growing inside of her. And that's what preborn provides. Free ultrasounds that, that let her see the reality, hear the heartbeat and recognize this isn't a problem to solve. It's a life. Now the problem to solve is how do you raise that child? How do you afford to do it? Preborn is there for that, too. Your monthly support is so critical. $28 a month will save a life, restoring a precious gift from God. Dial £250, say the keyword baby £250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com preborn.com make sure you go to preborn.com beck and donate. But read all about all of the things they do. It's amazing.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. You know, the Democrats are just losing all kinds of credibility and people are switching parties like they've never switched away from the Democratic Party before. And here's why. Everybody's favorite Congresswoman Crockett on the D.C. crime crackdown. Listen to this. ICE, for the most part, is nothing but a ride.
- [25:27]
B
That's all they were supposed to do.
- [25:28]
A
For the most part. Right.
- [25:29]
B
It's like, you know what, this person.
- [25:31]
A
Is undocumented or this person re enters the country illegally, all the things.
- [25:38]
B
And then they have an ICE hold and then ICE gets them so they can then send them out.
- [25:42]
A
That's all ICE is supposed to do. Look at them as a fancy Uber driver for immigrants. That's all they're supposed to do. Oh my gosh.
- [25:47]
B
And now they're running into places and doing raids and they're falling all over.
- [25:52]
A
Each other, injuring each other. Like we are a joke. No, she's with Gavin Newsom. She's fabulous. Can we go to cut three? Here she is on the crime crackdown. Tell me what it's like in D.C. tell me what you think this is really all about. So it's very dystopian to see.
- [26:16]
B
It's funny because I used to watch like the Handmaid's Tale and I can't.
- [26:21]
A
Right.
- [26:22]
B
I never finished.
- [26:23]
A
And I can't watch it because it.
- [26:25]
B
Is too close to reality.
- [26:26]
C
Oh, yeah.
- [26:27]
A
And so what we're seeing is this militarization. And obviously it started in your state.
- [26:35]
B
That was kind of the testing grounds. Going to your state, going to a black woman mayor's city first. And now we are in yet another black woman led city and taking over.
- [26:50]
A
And to me, it goes again to.
- [26:52]
B
The level of racism and hate that is constantly.
- [26:59]
A
Stopping, kidding, Stunning choice.
- [27:00]
C
That's like M. Night Shyamalan.
- [27:02]
A
I would never expect her to go through a racial claim.
- [27:05]
B
Whoa.
- [27:06]
A
I know. Now let's go to. Let's go to Pritzker, the governor from Illinois, and what he has to say about what's going on. Cut five.
- [27:14]
C
Must we?
- [27:15]
A
I built a Holocaust museum.
- [27:17]
C
And one thing about that experience that.
- [27:20]
A
I can tell you and I worked with Holocaust survivors for more than a decade to build this museum. One thing I learned in the process of that is that it doesn't take very long to tear apart a constitutional republic. Indeed, the Nazis did it in 53 days. And no, our democracy is almost as Fragile, started in 1922. And we're seeing it right now. Yes, we are. Who's been tearing it apart, you fat. Anyway, so now, now we're pre Nazi Germany. According to him, Uber drivers, ICE. It's the Handmaid's Tale in. In Washington, D.C. it's pre Nazi Germany in Illinois. And here comes Stacey Abrams to help us with more. Cut six. I want to tie this back to the abundance agenda and how you think about blue state power. If it is true that he's a grand ayatollah, that mystical power extends and can be, you know, he can anoint.
- [28:30]
B
His, you know, his prophet and he can remain in.
- [28:34]
A
Stop. So we. So we are good now. He's now the ayatollah. He's Hitler in the Handmaid's Tale, who is also the mystical ayatollah who is appointing new prophets.
- [28:50]
C
We have said he has a lot of energy, Glenn, and there's a lot of different roles to pull off.
- [28:55]
A
He is covering a lot now. He's also trying to make peace. But Susan Rice, with all of her deep, deep credibility, has something to say about that. I mean, really, Nicole, it's pathetic.
- [29:08]
C
It's been clearly and repeatedly established, including.
- [29:13]
A
By the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee led by Marco Rubio, that Russia interfered in the 2016 election by disinformation campaigns, by social media efforts, by all sorts of means short of manipulating the actual vote. And that's just a fact. Now, obviously, Donald Trump doesn't like that fact. He doesn't like the fact that the intelligence community and the Senate Bipartisan Intelligence Committee assessed that this interference was intended to.
- [29:48]
C
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
- [29:50]
A
I can't. How is this still happening with no pushback from, what was it, ABC or NBC? No pushback from NBC. None of zero. All of the documentation has come out that shows she was part of the conspiracy. She was part of it. She was a ringleader in this. It's now showing all the doc documents, the facts There are this. There's this. This little fantasy that the Deep State has been pushing. And then there are the actual documents written to and by people like Susan Rice showing this was all made up. Wow. So. Wow. And that. And that Strange Hitler, mystical Ayatollah, and guy who. Handmaid's Tale, guy who just wants everybody dressed in red robes. Cannot get that stopped. That is so very weird, Glenn. So weird.
- [30:47]
C
You've worked with charities for a long time. Have you founded your own? It's done all this incredible work around the globe. Would you consider potentially putting together a fundraiser for the Democrats to come up with another literary reference than the Handmaid's Tale? Is it possible we could get them a different book just so they can say that title of it? Now? I know Jasmine Crockett, of course, is so stupid, she couldn't even act like she read the book. She only said she was watching the Hulu Show. But still, can we get them some.
- [31:20]
A
Reference other than the Already doing it? They're already doing it. When you talk about literary stuff, they're already doing it. Stu, here we go. You ready? They have now, the DNC has now blacklisted terms that they don't want any of their people using. Okay.
- [31:38]
C
Oh, okay.
- [31:38]
A
Now tell me what these terms have in common. Blacklisted terms. Privilege, Violence, as in environmental violence, Dialoguing, triggering othering, microaggression, holding space, body shaming, subverting norms, systems of oppression, cultural appropriation, the overton window, existential threat to the climate, existential threat to democracy, existential threat to the economy, radical transparency, stakeholders, the unhoused, food insecurity, housing insecurity, people who immigrated, birthing person, cisgender, dead naming, heteronormative patriarchy, lgbtqia, bipoc allyship, incarcerated people, and involuntary confinement. Those are the words that the Democrats are now telling their people. Don't use any of these words. Those are the words that they forced everybody to use. So they are reading from a new book. They're just burning their own book. It is absolutely incredible what is happening right now. Just absolutely nuts.

I don't see how they're going to get through conversations without those words. Those are the only words they say.

I know, I know, I know. I could just add. I could just add some conjunctions in there, and I could make that into a speech. Let me go to. Let me go to Eve in Utah. Hello, Eve. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

Good morning. Thanks for taking my call. It's a privilege to speak with you, gentlemen. I am calling from the Bluest red state in the union. That'd be Utah. I have been reading the headlines in KSL and how Governor Cox is refusing to send troops to arrest immigrants. I'm calling specifically to say that there are. I think there's a significant problem here. I've seen illegal immigrants, at least I'm assuming. I'm just assuming. But these are people who. Not proficient in English. I'm going into 7, 11, I'm going into. School districts are hiring a lot of illegal aliens. I know because the kids that are in the classes are members of families that are here from Venezuela, from Guatemala, from different countries in Africa. I have concerns about Best Buy hiring a lot of people who. I'm not sure if they're documented immigrants, but I have friends who cannot get hours at their work because they've got supervisors, specifically at Best Buy, one friend in particular who could not have, who had to quit because she was not getting the hours that she needed to support herself. She had a Spanish supervisor who was hiring other Hispanic employees. And then if you spoke Spanish, she felt like she was discriminated against because she didn't speak Spanish and she was not getting the hours that she needed. She had to quit. So I see a lot of this in, like, I don't know, in different companies and different businesses where I have friends and neighbors who are applying for jobs and they're not getting them because they don't speak Spanish or because they're not Hispanic.

So let me make some very controversial statements here about your phone call. First of all, let's start with ksl. If you're getting your news from ksl, be careful. You know that it's always been a trusted source in. In Utah and for many reasons. And they. They just like everybody else, has a really hard time hiring journalists that are not woke. It's the same thing as some of the Utah universities, BYU in particular, that has gone woke. How has that gone woke? Because they can't find anybody to fill those jobs that can live the standards and also not be woke up. So you have to be really careful of the sources. Don't take anything that you see in. In some of these sources to be gospel, if you will be very careful and be aware. And that doesn't. That's not a universal blanket on anything. That is just be aware of that. Stop trusting some of those sources because who owns them. Start trusting the sources because they are actually telling the truth. And in some cases, in many cases, that is not happening in the media, no matter who owns it. The second thing is I'm really concerned about Utah. You hit it right on the nail, right on the head. It is the red. It is the bluest red state. That thing used to be so deeply red. But they have chipped away little by little. Cox is. Is a very. He's a big part of that. But they have chipped away little by little. And I think, personally, I believe in Isaiah and any. Any place that claims to be, you know, God's people, Rome, you know, the Bible belt, Utah. Isaiah comes to mind all the time. And I will clean out my own house first. I think these. These cities that claim to be very religious and have let it go to literal hell because the people have. Have just been arrogant. They just think it'll always be this way. I think Utah is coming for a giant reckoning. There's a reason I live in Idaho. There's a couple of reasons, but one reason I live in Idaho and not Utah is because I think Utah is going to pay a very, very heavy price for the things that they are allowed to happen. And every time I go into the big cities in Utah, I am shocked at how bad they are. So you just need to wake your neighbors up. And if your neighbors are awake, you must be active. It's the same story in Texas. Texans are asleep at the switch now. I am thrilled to see that Chip Roy is running and is going to be, I think, hopefully will be elected as our next Attorney general. Ken Paxton will go into the Senate. I think those are great things. But. But locally, the problem many times is locally, and you have to be awake and Texans are asleep. I think Utahns are absolutely asleep. And you have to wake up on that and do the things locally that will hold your city's feet to the fire and hold your city's feet to the constitution and to the actual rule of law. Look at those blacklisted terms that the Democrats are now running from. They created all of those terms. They're now running from all of those terms. You hear anybody in your city using those terms, make sure you let everybody know that's somebody that shouldn't win the next election and you do something about it. You organize and do something about it. Local, local, local. But I think you're right about what you're seeing. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor, this half hour. It is Z Factor. Sometimes our culture treats. I'm sorry, what is it? Oh, it's my Patriot Supply. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm on the wrong hour. I'm just ahead of myself. Let me tell you about my Patriot supply. Everyone has that friend who thinks, you know, the apocalypse looks like, you know, zombies pouring down Main Street. I don't think that's what it's going to be like. Although, did I tell you about the zombie spiders I read about today? I don't know what those are, but I don't want to know what those are. You know, I don't know if we're all going to need bunkers and, you know, crossbows, learning how to tan leather by hand, I don't know. But there, I know there are going to be lots of things that are going to be a lot boring than that. Power outages, supply chain breakdowns, grocery stores cleaned out before you even get there, that kind of stuff. You don't have to be that guy to be ready. You don't have to live in a bunker or start a farm. Although I wouldn't, I wouldn't, you know, pass on that. If you have the opportunity, you should do one simple thing. Get food from my Patriot supply. The emergency food kits are built for real people, real situations and a 25 year shelf life. Packed to last, easy to store and you don't need to wear camouflage to enjoy them. Although that also helps. Right now my Patriot supply is giving away four weeks of emergency food kit. Just go to my patriotsupply.com, find out how to claim your free four week food supply and join millions of Americans who are preparing with my Patriot supply. That's a four week emergency food supply that you can claim right now@mypatriotsupply.com Glenn my patriotsupply.com Glenn. You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences. There's rough terrain ahead. Saddle up my friend and stay tuned. Glenn Beck will be right. We have to take phone calls more often. I mean the phones are jammed with your thoughts and you know what you want to talk about and I want to take you. I also, I was just not going to be able to get to everything. I want to talk to you about the new VW subscription to More power for your car. What does that mean? It's again, a renter's state again. A second wave of inflation I believe is coming. We should talk about that chat cat control. Really terrifying control from the state on that. And I also want to talk to you about Angela from Tennessee. She called in yesterday. Want to talk to you about the American dream being in ruins and its renewal. We're going to do that next. This is Glenn Beck. Do you remember when you were a kid and you play freeze tag, you know, you tap somebody freeze and then they would stop in their tracks. It was fun, you know, then. But what if you could do that? If you could do the real grownup version, man, every Democrat would free, uh, do that when danger shows up. Wouldn't that be great? That's what honestly the burner launcher feels like. It's a non lethal self defense tool that files or fires chemical irritant rounds, pepper projectiles, uh, tear gas and all of it is strong enough to stop an attacker and have them freeze without taking a life. You don't need a permit. It's legal in all 50 states. It's designed to be easy and to carry and to quickly deploy when seconds matter. I carry mine with me now everywhere because it gives something everybody wants but few people actually have peace of mind. I have the peace of mind because I gave it to my daughter too as she moved out and she's living on her own now. Make sure that she carries it. Childhood freeze tag was a game. This is the real deal.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello America. Welcome to Friday. We're glad you're here. Inflation is I, I think coming back for a second round. I want to talk to you about that today. I want to talk to you about, about John Bolton. There was a pre, a pre dawn raid at his house for secret documents, classified documents. I'm not sure I have anything to, to add to that other than the news of it. I, I just don't know what that, what to think of that yet. Also there is something called, there is something called chat control that it's on its way all around the world that will, will stop stifle all freedom of speech online. That is really important we discuss and let you let, let you know what's coming. Also, Elon Musk tweeted yesterday the new chatgpt. He said, when you see it, I believe we are now at AGI. That is good news and I think really bad news. We'll talk about that. And I want to, I want to pick up where we left off yesterday with Angela from Tennessee. If you were listening yesterday, it was a young girl, she was, she was in her 30s. And she said, you know, she's really struggling. And she was starting to see that maybe we should go the democratic way. Maybe we should have rent control, maybe we should have all these things that the government does more on. And that is going to become very, very popular because things, especially with AI are going to change. And I've been saying this now for, for, oh, I don't know, two decades. We have to have these conversations now before they hit, because we are. Well, let me get, let me take 60 seconds and I'm gonna come back to this because it's, there's a lot that's been going on in my mind lately on this issue on how to combat this, and I'm not sure I, I have it yet, but I, I at least think I understand the pressure problem and I think I can navigate a way out of it, but it's, it's early, so. Let me run that by you here in just a second. First, let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust.com. so, you know, buying and selling a house is extremely complicated. It is really. It's, it's hard. Tanya and I, for about two years, maybe three years, have been looking for a house in Florida. We were talking about when the kids grow up and they move out, you know, do we want to live in Texas? I want to work in Texas. I love Texas. But she's always wanted to live by the water and I can't live in Houston. And so we started looking for a house in Florida and we, I mean, we just. This poor real estate agent from realestate agentsitrust.com Lisa True is her name. And, and for two years we were back and forth with her and we're like, I don't know, we're not sure if we're gonna move, blah, blah, blah, just keep looking for us. And she did. And I kept saying to her, I hate to waste your time. She's like, no, no, no, it's Good. And like four months ago we decided, nah, I don't think we're gonna move to Florida. We just couldn't find the right place. But she had listened to us, really listened to us. She calls us up about 2 months ago maybe and said, I think I found the house you guys have been looking for. And she was right. And we got on a plane and we looked at it and we bought it because it was exactly the house. She listened to us. This is the kind of real estate agent that you're going to find. She took us through all of, believe me, there were a lot of things that had to be done. And she took through all of it and made it so easy. That is exactly the kind of real estate agent you're going to find all over the country. When you call real estate agents, I trust it's a battlefield. Don't bring a foam sword sword. Bring somebody who actually knows what they're doing. Real Estate AgentsITrust.com that's Real Estate AgentsITrust.com it's a referral service. Free to you. All right, let me take Joe in Florida. Hello, Joe. Welcome.

Hello. Pardon me if I, if I stutter. I'm super nervous and I've been listening to you guys since 2007.

Oh, don't be nervous, Joe. It's just us and 11 million friends.

So what I really wanted to talk to you about was AI in capitalism. Okay. So other than GPT5 having everybody's baseline site profile between threads, I'm really struggling to picture how the free market and how capitalism works. If AI is going to take so many jobs and so many people are going to be out of work, well, sure, if we, if we make things cheaper, who's going to have money to pay for anything? And how do we overcome that? Are we going to go ubi, are we going to tax private businesses for using AI? How do we find balance? Because it's like if you give the private, the private sector too much freedom, we always do the do the wrong thing, like with interest rates. But too much government doesn't work either. So how do we move forward? How do we find balance.
- [50:30]
A
Joe? That is the trillion dollar question. That is something that I don't think anyone has an answer for yet, but at least thank you Joe for thinking about this. Most people have not thought this through. They have not really come to a place yet to where they see what AI is about to do and it is about to just destroy jobs. Now there is the hope that new jobs come out. But I'M I'm, I'm, you know, I'm having a hard time seeing it not destroy millions of jobs around the world. And so people are going to be unemployed and some of the great minds of the great research, reset, etc. Including Noah Haval Harari has, has come out and said they're going to be useless people that we just need to keep on drugs. This, literally, this is what he says, need to keep them on drugs and keep them addicted to the Internet, just keep them busy. That's, that's not sustainable. I think honestly you're seeing another solution. In Canada they have just taken their maid program, which is medical assistance in dying. And it was for just people who were at the end of life. They were in, you know, had a terminal disease that was just like five, six years ago. Terminal disease only they have now adopted maid for newborn children. Newborn children. Now to give you an idea of how rare that is, the last country that did this was Nazi Germany. The doctors up in Canada cannot keep up with the current requests for medical assisted suicide. And it is in every, every sector, every walk of life. It is the elderly, it is the sick, it is the non sick, it is those with disabilities, it is those teenagers that are going through depression. Now it's down to babies. After you're born, not only can you kill them before you're born now you can kill them after because I don't know why, is it an inconvenience? Is it? What, what is it? And if they say now, oh no, it's only for the very, very, very, very malformed it, well, that's what it was in Germany too when they first did it. And you saw what happened in Germany. So you're going to see some of the worst of human beings come out to solve this thing. You're also going to see things like ubi, that's a universal basic income. I personally think there should be a tax and I haven't, I, I'm not settled on any of this. I think there should be a tax on those like Zuckerberg and quite honestly Elon Musk. The people who are going to be running these things and there's going to be a handful of that are worth trillions and trillions of dollars. I'm sorry, but you used our information, our private selves and you're still using him to, to build these things and then you took our jobs away. I'm sorry, but that, that is the first time I've ever said that maybe we should share the wealth a little bit. Hey, Jamie. This battery just went out. So I think, you know, we have a lot of talking to do here, and I'm not sure that any of it that I am suggesting is right, but here's. Here's where I would like to. To go. Yesterday we had a phone call. We had somebody call in. Her name was Angela. She was from Tennessee. And she talked about all of this. She's talked about how all of this stuff is starting to collapse, that she doesn't really believe in anything, and she's wondering whether maybe the government should do. Should do more. Well, she. She talked about how, you know. You know, she had done everything right. She had gone to college, and now she came from nothing, built herself up, and now she could just barely, you know, keep her head so. Her head above water. So I gave her some advice, but it bothered me all day yesterday. And I want to come back to this, because I've been thinking as I'm developing this new venture of mine called the Torch. We've been looking for the imagery for it and everything else. And I saw some things that our team has been producing, and it included the Statue of Liberty and the flag and everything else. And as I'm watching that, I thought, that is so dated. That is. This. That appeals to me and my generation, but I don't think that appeals to anybody that is in their 20s, because it does. It's all empty. You know, there was a time when the American flag meant something, and it didn't need to be explained at all. There was a time when the Statue of Liberty was more than just an old, outdated tourist. Stop that. When you saw it, sometimes it could move you to tears. It was a promise. There was a time when the courts were considered the halls of justice, not arenas for politics. But for people who are in their 20s and early 30s, I don't know. I think all of that stuff feels hollow now. You know, the. The flag, it's a banner of somebody else's dream, and Lady Liberty is just a shell. And the courts are just another place where power decides outcomes, not truth. That American dream that I understand because of my generation and my parents is gone because we didn't pass it on to our children. And the schools and the media and everybody else did a horrible job at this. If you're in your 20s or 30s, you were a kid when your parents probably lost everything in 2008, and you saw the big banks, you know, bail every big bank out, and then you saw maybe your mom and dad's business shuttered on Main Street. You watched your parents work hard and have less for it. And then came Covid. And you saw the government do the same thing, Bail out all the, hey, it's fine to be in Home Depot, but that local ace Hardware. No, that's. That's the plague. And none of that made sense. And jobs vanished and schools closed and freedoms were curtailed, and the divisions in this country just froze. Like, you know, cracks in a frozen lake. I mean, it was. It's not good. And that's all you've seen your whole life. And then you did the right thing. Because what was right in the 1950s was still thought to be right today. And it wasn't. But that was. Go to college. You did everything you were told was right. You chased the degree, you took on debt. And then the jobs you got out, the jobs you were promised weren't there. They never came. Well, they were. It's because you were being lied to about that. Nobody could look over the horizon. Oh, I'm sorry. The people who actually have credible voices, or so you thought at the time would look over the horizon say, no, it's fine. It's fine. Some of us were saying, don't. Don't do that. That's a lie. It's not going to happen. But we were discredited. And now the house, it feels as distant to you. Buying a house probably feels like, oh, yeah, and I'm gonna. I'm gonna walk on the moon someday too. Capitalism, the system that built the abundance that you see around you now, feels like a rigged game because many times, it is a rig game. It feels broken. It feels. It feels like it failed you. And quite honestly, it did. I. I see it. I see it. I hear you. And you are not wrong to feel betrayed. Now the question is, what do you do with that? So let me go there here in just a couple of seconds. Let me take 60 seconds break and tell you about rough greens. If your dog could talk, you know, what terrible secrets would he had to. To bribe to keep him quiet? You'd have to bribe him with everything to keep him quiet, right? You know, the food, I think would be a good place to start, you know, the sawdust that we all feed, you know, it's like eating cardboard flavored with sadness. I think kibble is really convenient. And we've always been told our whole life that it's really good for a dog. It's not. It's not. Everything that your dog really needs has been so sterilized and cooked out of that that it's nothing but a bunch of, you know, it's like a pack of napkins for lunch. So rough greens. Rough greens is the real stuff. It's not a, it's not food. It's something that you put back onto the dog's food. They love it, they really, really love it. So they'll eat all of their food. But it's also packed with vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, and it'll bring life back into your dog's bowl. So here's what I want you to do. Get the free Jumpstart trial bag for your dog today. Just see if your dog likes it. It's a $20 value, but you'll get it for free. Just cover the shipping on it it rough greens.com and use the promo code beck when you get there. It's rough greens.com promo code beck10 second station ID so the American dream is not what they told you this. The, the lies started long before the bank started bailing everybody out except your parents. The American dream was, was never about the banks. It was never about politicians. It was not about what the universities say it was all about. It was never about a white picket fence or a two car garage. You know, that was all a marketing pitch. And I can tell you right where it came from. It came in the 1930s with FDR. Again, it was a marketing pitch. Up until the 1930s. The American Dream was just this freedom. It was you not having to ask for permission to start a business. It was you not being cobbled by heavy taxes and regulations. It was, it was about building and creating, about being you without having to ask, can I be me? It was all about dreaming, just audacious dreams and then taking your two hands and putting them to work and trying to make that a reality. Okay, what stole that dream is not, it wasn't capitalism, it was control. A hundred years of policies from the progressives where you were taught to wait, to comply, to memorize these because they're going to be on a test to look to the government, to the experts, to the bureaucrats. Everything requires permission just to live your own life. And if it's not permission, it's a tax or a, some sort of a form that you have to fill out. The dream wasn't broken. It wasn't broken by the people. It wasn't broken by capitalism. The dream was strangled to death by the system. Okay, now that, if you can understand that, now you have a new set of questions. Symbols can be replaced. When the old symbols lose their power, new ones can rise or you can reinvigorate those symbols by putting new power back into them. The new symbols of the American Dream are not going to be marble statues or buildings. The new symbols of the American dream go back to what they were before the Progressive Era. You, the people, somebody who's working right now in their basement on something and they just think they have something. And them being able to keep that idea, enhance people's lives and get rich from it, the craftsman that's turning a side hustle into something real, the entrepreneur that is not going to wait for permission. The communities that stand together when the institutions fail them, that's the American Dream. And the danger here is, is that we are losing our symbols. And one of our symbols is the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution because nobody knows what it really is. So it doesn't have power to the average person. But that is. The Constitution is not a relic. It's not a symbol. It is a root. Now, the good thing is, if our roots on this thing are still deep, we are entering the storm of ages. And when a storm rages, those roots, if they're deep enough, they hold and they survive. If the roots are so atrophied, it's just going to tumble and blow away. But the truth isn't gone. Justice is not dead. Liberty is not just an empty vessel that is standing there as a tourist trap. All of these truths have been buried for decades. Noise and lies. And here's a good thing. It's going to be your generation that digs them back up. You're going to find them again and you're going to find them. Well, you won't find them if you're waiting for rescue. You won't. You'll find them by daring to dream again. By daring to say, I don't care what you tell me. You're not the boss of me and you don't control my thoughts. I'm sorry. I can either choose thoughts that empower me or I can choose the thoughts that disempower me. And I'm sorry all the thoughts you're putting into my head make me weak and pathetic. I am not going there. I'm going to change my thoughts and change my life. You know, you don't wait for somebody else. The American dream is truly American because of who we used to be and who we, I think, still are. We just have to find it in ourself. We just have to believe it again. We are the people that went to the moon. We are the people that do these daring things and that is not dead. It's just changing hands. And they have. The older generation has tried to convince you that it means nothing. You can't do it. It's in your hands now. And when you grasp it, when you live it not as a slogan, but as a way of life, you'll discover it was never about chasing symbols. It was about becoming one. This is Glenn Beck. So have you ever noticed how life itself doesn't slow down for you? The sun still comes up, you know, the world still spins. Your grandkids still want to race you across the yard. Your kids still are just pulling on you. Come on, come on, come on, come on. And your body feels like joining in. Or not. Life just keeps extending the invitation.

So in talking about capitalism and the future and especially as AI, let's have a deeper conversation on this because you know the fear is it's going to take our jobs and you're going to be a useless eater, etc, etc, because AI will have all of the answers correct. But how many times? Hang on. That is correct if you look at it that way. But let me say this. I could have people who are wildly educated on exactly the same facts and they will come to a different conclusion or a different way to look at that. Okay? They can agree on all of the same facts, but because they're each unique and an AI is not a AGI or ASI is not going to be unique. I don't think this is my understanding of it now. And I've got to do some. I got to talk to some more people about this that actually know, because coding is now what AI does. Okay. That can develop any software. However, it still requires me to prompt. I think prompting is the new coding. And if you don't know what prompting is, you should learn today what prompting means. It is an art form. It really is. As, as I have been working with this now for almost a year now, learning how to prompt changes everything. And so. And now that AI remembers your conversations and it remembers your prompts, it will get a different answer for you than it will for me. And, and that's where the uniqueness comes from. And that comes from looking at AI as a tool, not as the answer. So, Stu, if you put in all of the prompts that make you you, and then I put in a prompt that makes me me. Donald Trump does it, you know, Gavin Newsom does it. It's going to spit out different things because you're requiring a different framework. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah.

You can essentially personalize it right to you.

A
Correct.

C
It's going to understand the way you think, rather than just a general person would think.
- [69:30]
A
Correct. And if you're just going there and saying, give me the answer, well, then you're going to become a slave. But if you're going and saying, hey, this is what I think, this is what I'm looking for, this is where I'm. Where I'm missing some things, etc. Etc. It will give you a customized answer that is unique to you. And so prompting becomes the place where you're unique. Now here's the problem with this. This is something that I said to Ray Kurzweil back in 2011, maybe he was sitting in my studio and I said, so Ray, we get all this. It can read our minds. It knows everything about us, knows more about us the. Than. Than anything than any of us know. How could I possibly ever create something unique? And he said, what do you mean? And I said, well, if I was. If. Let's say I wanted to come up with a competitor for Google, If I'm doing research online and Google is able to watch my every keystroke and it has AI, it's knowing what I'm looking for. It, it. It then thinks, what are. What is he trying to put together? And if it figures it out, it will complete it faster than me. And Give it to the mothership, which has the distribution and the money and everything else. And it will. I won't be able to do it because it'll already have done it. And so you become a serf. The lord of the manor takes your idea and does it because they have control. That's what free. The free market stopped. And unless we have control of our own thoughts and our own ideas and we have some safety to where it cannot intrude on those things, that we have some sort of a patent system for unique ideas that you're working on that, that AI cannot take what you're. And share it with the mothership, share it with anybody else, then it's just a tool of oppression. Do you understand what I'm saying?
- [71:41]
C
Yeah. I mean, obviously these companies would say they're not going to do that.
- [71:46]
A
Whether you believe it, you know what Ray said? Yeah. Ray said, glenn, we would never do that. And I said, why not? And he said, well, because it's wrong. We just wouldn't do it. I was like, oh, oh, I forgot how moral. And you know, such high standing. Everybody in Silicon Valley and Google is.
- [72:03]
C
And Silicon Valley and Google is far. I have far more confidence in their just benevolence than I do China.
- [72:14]
A
And Washington.
- [72:15]
C
And Washington, yeah, exactly.
- [72:17]
A
The dod. Yeah.
- [72:18]
C
I mean, everyone's gonna have these things developed and who knows what they're going to do. I mean, I suppose there will be some, eventually that becomes an issue or becomes a risk. There's going to be some solutions to that. Like you could have closed loop systems that don't connect with the mothership, but like all that stuff's gonna be. There will be answers to those questions, I'm sure. But at some level they're using what you're typing in as training for future AIs. Right. So it all, in a way kind of has to go to the mothership at some level. And whether they try to take advantage of it in the way you're talking about, I mean, you hope they don't.
- [72:57]
A
But I don't trust them right now. A year ago we thought we're going to use, we'll use somebody's AI as the churn, as the, as the compute power because the server farms, everything is so expensive. But I don't think. Now we've been talking about this at the torch that our, you know, our, our dreamers are working on. I'm not sure we're ever going to be able to get the compute power that we need for a large segment of people because Right now, these companies now think of this. The world is getting between 1 and 3% of the compute power. So that means 97 to 99% of all of that compute is going directly into the company trying to enhance the next version. Okay? All of that thinking, that's like. That's like you giving, you know, something that, that everybody else thinks is your main focus, and you're only giving it 20 or 15 minutes a day. Okay? You're operating at the highest levels, and I'm only gonna spend 10 minutes thinking about your problem, all right? And you think that's what I'm really doing is spending all my time on there? And so they're eating up all of the compute for the next generation of. And I don't think that's going to stop. And so we're now looking into, can we afford to build our own AI server farm at a lower level that doesn't have to, you know, take on 10 million people, but maybe a million people and keep it disconnected from everything else. If we can do that, I think that's. I think that's a really important step that people will then be able to go, okay, all right, I can come up with my own. Even my own company, Compute Farm, that keeps my secrets, keeps all of the things that I'm thinking, keeps all of this information right here. Hopefully that will happen, but I'm not sure because I think when, when they do hit AGI, you're not going to get it. You might have access to AGI, but it will be so expensive because AGI is going to try to get to asi. So when they get to AGI, when that, when that is there and available, it could be $5,000 a month for an individual. It could be astronomical prices. You're not going to get compute time on a quantum computer. You're just not. It'll be way too expensive because the big boys will be using it. The DoD will be using it, most of it. You know, the Microsoft and Google and everybody else, when they develop their. They will be using it themselves to get stronger and better, et cetera, et cetera. So there has to be something for the average person to be able to use this that is not connected to the big boys.
- [75:56]
C
I'm still not sure, Glenn, if we're at this time, but like, just to redefine these terms, AGI and asi, artificial General Intelligence, Artificial super intelligence. And the artificial general intelligence is basically, it can be the smartest human, right?
- [76:13]
A
Not even, not even that. You would still consider this person a Super genius. It's general intelligence. You are a general intelligence being, meaning you can think and be good at more than one thing. You can play the piano and be a mathematician, and you can be the best at both of those. Okay? What we have right now is. Is narrow AI it's good at one thing. Now we're getting AI to be better at multiple things, okay? But when you get to general AI it will be the best human beyond the best human in every general topic. Topic. So it can do everything. It'll pass every board exam for every walk of life. Okay? Now that's the best human on all topics. And I would call that super intelligence myself, but it's not. That's just general intelligence. Top of the line, better than any human on all subjects. Super intelligence is when it goes so far beyond our understanding, we. It will create languages and formulas and. And alloys and think in ways that we cannot possibly even imagine today because it's almost like an alien life form. You know, when we think all the aliens are going to come down, they're going to be friendly. You don't know that. You don't know how they think. They've created a world where they can travel in space and time in ways we can't. That means they are so far ahead of us that we could to them be like cavemen or monkeys. So we don't know how they're going to view us. I mean, look how we view monkeys. Oh, cute little monkey. Let's put something in its brain and see if it feels electricity in its brain, okay? We don't know how it's going to think because we aren't there. We are. And that's what we're developing. We're developing an alien life form that cannot be predicted and cannot be something that we can even keep up with. All right, More in just a second. Let me stop. And by the way, I am. I'm working on a constitutional amendment, and I'm partnering with some people on a constitutional amendment. I'm going to tell you about it soon, but it was regards to AI and we need to define what it means to be human. Quickly. Need to define that, and then we need to have a constitutional amendment that this is human, this is not, and only humans have equal rights. We've got to do that right now. We'll get into that later. All right, Let me tell you about legacy box. One day you're sitting, you know, in the backyard, you know, while your dad fires up the grill. And the next day, you're the dad wondering how your kids grow up so fast. Somewhere in between there, there are a thousand little moments you promise yourself you would never forget. But the truth is, memories fade. That's what I love about Legacy Box. They don't just transfer old tapes and photos to digital. They. They help you capture that time before it slips away for good. They give you a way to hand those moments to your kids and your kids kids without fearing the VCR will eat the tape or that old shoebox of old pictures will be the last those memories live. Try to do this. I lost my mom, you know, decades ago. When I think of my mom, the only face I can remember is the face that I remember from pictures. We can't let those fade because that is really our memory. After a while, you know, the day your daughter first. First took her a few steps, you remember it. But when you see a video of it, it's not the same as your memory. It. The longer you get away from it. Okay, The Christmas that your. Your kid was singing way too loud, the Christmas carols and in church and like, okay, okay. Anyway, you can get all of these things developed and saved. Don't let the old tapes and everything else fade away. All you have to do is go to legacybox.com I want you to have this digital vault with Legacy Box, legacybox.com records. Do that now. You're going to unlock 50% off your order. You don't have to use it right away that you can have that box. You've paid for it. You can then take a year and just put stuff in it and then send it off to Legacy Box when you're ready. Unlock 50% off your order right now@legacybox.com records. They want you silent, obedient, and blind. Well, shoot, here we are with open eyes and a bit of rebellious nature. Hold the line, my friends. Glenn Beck will be back in a minute. I really enjoy shows where we can take your phone calls and have enough time to do that because I love hearing from you and what you're thinking. Justin in Pennsylvania. Go ahead.
- [81:34]
B
Hello, Glenn. So my worry is. Hello, can you hear me?
- [81:39]
A
Yes, I can. Go ahead, Glenn.
- [81:40]
B
Okay. I'm worried about AI becoming powerful enough to fabricate digital evidence, like inserting fake articles on websites, creating phony records, even audio and video. Now to spread lies. It seems in a world where we're so reliant on digital, it's like AI could literally determine what we perceive as real. So my question is, how do we prevent that?
- [82:06]
A
Prevent? It's already here, Justin. That's already here. It hasn't, it's not going to develop. It already has. The, it already has developed the ability to fake sources, make them look real, augment voices or, or make people say things that you just can't tell the difference. The average person, it's already there. The deep fake is really a thing of the past. It is so far beyond that right now. And it hasn't caught up with the average person yet, but it, it will. And you know, I, it's why I have said recently, somebody very wise told me, if you don't have access to the spirit, meaning that small voice that whispers to you, this is true. This is not true. Turn around, go the other direction. If you don't, if you don't have that in spades, you will not survive with your soul intact. The next phase of life on planet Earth. You must develop that, that, that, that voice. You must pay attention to that voice, encourage that voice, listen to that voice. And the only way to encourage it and have it grow is to obey it. When it says, don't do that, don't do that. When it says, do this, do that. If it says, you know, you got to stop. You pass somebody on the street, stop and just say hello to them. Stop and do this, stop and say this to that person in your office. Do that. Because that will grow that voice. Once you obey that voice, it grows, grows in you and it tells you more things. And if you don't have access to that voice, if you don't have it, listen and obey it. You will not survive the age that we're coming in with your soul. It just won't happen. All right, More in just a minute. This is Glenn Beck. Let me talk to you about Chase Medical picture of this. You're on a family vacation, beautiful little town, kids are having a blast. You're relaxing. Then somebody spikes a fever. You head to the local clinic, but doctor says, you know, they're out of the antibiotic, you need it. Or worse yet, it's in the middle of the night. You know, it starts at 9 o' clock at night and it's on a weekend and you can't get a hold of anybody. You, you, you know what has to be done. Maybe you can call the doctor, but you can't get to the, the CVS until, you know, the next morning. And maybe they do have the antibiotic, but now, you know, you've had this nightmare night and you're driving all around trying to find that antibiotic. Is there an open store you can have it you'd have it. Jace Medical provides everything that you would need. It's a solution called the Jace case. It's a compact kit of doctor prescribed antibiotics designed to cover the most common and potentially life threatening infections. So it's not about panic or paranoia. It's about being prepared for your family. I want you to go to Jace.com. that's Jace J A N Se dot com. Enter the promo code Beck at checkout for a discount on your order. That's jace.com.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Well, hello America. Welcome to it. It is Friday. We're glad you're here. We got a lot to talk about. I want to open up the phones to you. We've been talking a lot of people all across the country. Your turn, turn is next. 888-727-BECK. Also we have to talk a little bit about inflation. And because I think a second wave of inflation is coming, the Fed has now just said that they're going to lower their interest rates or they've hinted they're going to lower the interest rates a little bit. That's a really good thing. But we have to be really cautious on that. Just, you know, take baby steps on everything and just watch and measure and then take another baby step and watch and measure. But there's some things that are coming that I'm not sure you know. This is at the. Well, I'll talk to you about it here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about the burner launcher. When you think about protecting yourself, most people imagine two do nothing or draw a gun. But real life is not that simple. Sometimes you don't need to take a life. You just need to stop a threat. And that's where the burner launcher changes the game. It's a compact, powerful non lethal device that gives you the ability to act without hesitation. Pepper tipped projectiles that drop an attacker to his knees. Also tear gas. It'll pretty much take care of anybody that's, you know, doing something that you know is a danger to you. The best part is the Verna launcher is legal in all 50 states. You don't need any permits. There's no red tape. It's just straightforward protection. You can carry anywhere. I carry mine wherever I go. I have asked my kids to carry theirs wherever they go. It's their choice. But it is a way for, it's, it's an easy Way to not ever live in fear. And you don't have to make that impossible choice between your life, their life, or, you know, just walking away and doing nothing. I love the new compact model. It's about 4 inches long. It fires at 400ft per second, packs the same punch as the original. And Burna's Back to School sale is live right now. Back to school. Great idea. Berna by r n a.com Glenn I don't know why teachers don't have this in their desk. It's Burna.com not for the students, but, you know, for the shootings anyway. You'd also find a sportsman's warehouse location near you. It's Burna.com Glenn Go there now. Burna.com Glenn hello Stu. Hi, Glenn.
- [88:21]
C
How are you?
- [88:22]
A
Where do we. Good. We have so much to talk about. Where do we. Where do we start?
- [88:26]
C
Do you want to do this? Market update? There was some pretty big news in the economy over the last few minutes. Powell did a speech, it was kind of a highly publicized speech of whether he would hint at rate reductions. And he did hint that one potentially could be coming. Nothing locked in, but potentially could be coming at the next meeting. And that made the markets rally by 6,700points last time I checked. So very, very positive developments for the market. If you, if you're only looking at it that way, the market's been doing pretty well overall. I'd love to get your sense as to why that is. Because you've talked for years about how the stock market isn't real life.
- [89:13]
A
Yeah, it's not.
- [89:14]
C
Sometimes people are over hyped on it and the numbers go crazy and everyone thinks everything's perfect. And that's not the reality, is that what we're going through right now.
- [89:25]
A
There.
- [89:25]
C
Are a lot of different questions as to why this is happening. Why has the stock market been so resilient?
- [89:31]
A
So what are your theories? What are your theories?
- [89:33]
C
Well, let me just throw out a few that I've read because I don't know what the right answer is exactly. Part of me thinks it's a combination of a bunch of these. But one theory. Yeah, okay. One theory is for a very long time, people invested in individual stocks or had financial advisors and they would pick different stocks and that's how they would invest their retirement funds. Over the past 10 years or so, a lot of that money has switched into index funds so that people are now, because they're saving on fees, just dumping money into the index funds, which props up the specific stocks that are in the index, which helps the markets look fantastic even though they're maybe not necessarily so. So that's theory one. Theory two is that that the way these indexes are calculated, they have a bunch of a basket of companies, if you will. And right now what we're seeing, because certain companies are growing so large, like Nvidia, there are now what, five different three trillion dollar companies in the market. These particular companies are outperforming everything and carrying everybody else. And it's making everything look better than reality. That's 2, 3. Is there an AI bubble sort of excitement? You think about the dot com bubble. Everyone got so excited about the Internet. All those stocks went through the roof eventually. When that promise didn't live up to its hype, at least immediately, it crashed. That didn't mean that the Internet did not have a huge impact on us, but it took longer and that was overblown at that time. Next is we are too worried about the things that might be dragging on the economy. The spending issues that we're having, the tariffs, the inflation concerns, all those things are just.
- [91:28]
A
You mean we're not. The markets aren't worried about that?
- [91:33]
C
Yeah, the markets are basically saying that the hype on those things is, is bigger than the reality. And we're not that worried about it. We were too worried about it before and that's showing not to be the case. Those are the four main ones that I've read. You may have a fifth or a sixth. But is there anything in there that connects with you? Do you think any of that's real?
- [91:54]
A
So yeah. So I think the answer, if you want me to, want me to say if any of these are right or wrong, the answer is yes to all of those. Those are all. Those are all playing a role in this. All of them. Them, Everything. I think you've missed a big one. Let me just go through them. Individual stocks. Absolutely. Tech companies. Huge. Because we are changing. The economy of the world is changing and it's going into tech. That could backfire. Because the second one you said was the AI bubble. I don't believe there is an honest AI bubble. I think there might be an AI bubble in and it's not going to be understood by the average person. And so the average person and the average, the person that's not really understanding this, the investor and the company that's not really understanding this. They'll see, oh well, it's just Google. It's just like a very smart Google and they're not going to understand how it's going to change everything. And that could collapse it temporarily. So it could be a bubble that would collapse and then come roaring back because I'm not sure how this is going to shake out. Okay. And if you understand the AI bubble, you know, the next one is not. Is. Is not valid. You know, the, the idea that everything's been overhyped, the spending and. What did you say? The tariffs, but also, you know, the job losses that are coming, the loss of the dollar and how that's going to affect things. All of that. I agree. People are. People are saying, oh, that's overhyped. It's not. It's not overhyped. It's just. I don't know when it's going to take place. And maybe some people are placing their bets. Oh, well, it's got a few more years. Which brings me to the fifth one that I think we should add, and that is the normalcy bias. I think that's the overpowering one, the normalcy bias. People are, think about this in your own life. You're not looking at things that are really troublesome anymore because you're tired. You're tired, and you just want it to work out. Even if you think Jesus is coming, you'll look at the news and you'll go, well, you know, that's a good sign. Well, you know what? It's not getting so bad here. It's not doing this. And the normalcy bias is really hard. I mean, I really have fought this hard because I'm starting a new. I'm starting a new business, this. And I am pretty much walking away from all of the stability that I have built. And it's scary. It's really scary. And it keeps coming back to me. Well, wait a minute, Glenn. Do you really believe that there's really trouble coming? And I'm like, yes, I do. But I think I'm doing this partly because of the trouble that is coming. I think that's the main reason I'm doing it, honestly. And it has nothing to do with money. It just is. Is more to do with survival of America. And I just believe that, okay, well, that will work. And so, you know, I. I bet on myself all the time, and I take very risky bets. I hate Vegas. I never go to Vegas and put a dollar down on the table. It's a waste of money. But I'll bet on myself every time. And I'm taking a huge gamble and risk on me. And it bothers me because am I in the normalcy bias? And I don't think I am, but a lot of people are. They just think you're watching the news. You stop watching the news because, you know, I can't do anything about it and things are not going to change. You know, I've thought that this was going to fall apart for a long time and it hasn't yet, so. But that's really dangerous to do. So that's the only one that I would, would add, would be the normalcy bias. But I think all of those are playing a role in the stock market. Look, inflation is, is coming. There is a second wave of inflation that I think now maybe I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong. But there is something underneath the surface here. And if we're not prepared, I mean, the markets are screaming gold, which is the one true hedge, it's refusing to buckle, which is really odd. If everything is going so well, why is gold still so high? You know, it's hovering at its all, all time high and everybody's saying no, everything is under control. Inflation's under control. When markets act like that, they're not just asking for attention, they're demanding your attention. And yet you don't hear a lot of people talk about gold. Why? And I think that's the normalcy bias and it's not just happening here in the United States. Gold priced in euros and the yen is climbing. This is a global thing. Which leads me to believe we're nowhere near out of the woods on this. So now why would I say the second inflation is brewing? First of all, I am not an economist, okay? So take everything I say with a grain of salt. Don't, don't. I don't, don't believe it. Because I said I am not an expert on any of this. I'm a guy who uses common sense and I know enough history and enough trends. And quite honestly, I think because I wasn't trained as an economist, I didn't go to all of the elite schools to hear, no, this is how we're going to solve all these problems. I don't rely on a system to save us. I just look at common sense and human nature.
- [97:20]
B
Sure.
- [97:21]
A
And that's how I come to my conclusion. So you want somebody else that, you know, has all the highfalutin education. Everything else they probably are, right? I don't know. But let me give it to you. From my perspective, government spending is an absolute runaway freight train. Every dollar that is spent is a dollar printed out of thin air. It, it doesn't make any sense. And when the machinery of money churns like this day in and day out. You don't just dilute dollars. You diminish everything that has value. You. You diminish what every dollar is worth. And the debt levels are astronomical. We're still. I mean, people think. People don't think this debt is fine. They don't. They don't. There may be some people, like Donald Trump, who believes that debt is not a problem because we're going to grow our way out of it. I think he's wrong on debt this big, but I know he actually believes that, and it has usually been true. But, you know, it's like I'm a brain surgeon and I'm going into school for, you know, to become a doctor, a brain surgery. I'm riddled with all kinds of debt before I'm a brain surgeon. How am I going to pay that off? I know that I'm going to make the money of a brain surgeon, and I can afford that debt, okay, because my income is going to just grow. And I know exactly how it's going to grow. In the United States of America, we are 35, $36 trillion in debt. What. What kind of brain surgeons are we all going to become? How are you going to grow that? Especially when you know that jobs are going to go down through the floor because we are taxing people. People. So where are you going to get those tax dollars from to pay off that debt? They're hoping. And, you know, it might be the wise thing, it might be right, that America, if it gets AI is going to revolutionize the world again. And we won't have to worry about that debt because we'll be making things and selling things and having ideas, et cetera, et cetera, that nobody else can compete with. And it goes through the roof. That's what Donald Trump is betting on. On. And for the first time in my life, that might be true. Might be true, but we have to pay attention. We are. We're issuing more debt in the Trump administration than ever before, and that is a pressure cooker on prices. And we had a guest yesterday say there's two reasons for inflation. There's the printing of dollars in debt, and then there is also the changing of the economy, changing the actual framework of the economy. We're doing both right now. And so, yeah, I don't know which is which. I don't know if this is. Yes, we're changing the structure, so for temporary reasons, and it will all balance out. Once we get through this, it will all settle down and yes, things will be a little more expensive, but it's because we've changed the structure of how the world works or if it's the printing of money or if it's both. And I don't know. But we are, we are very close to what could be another inflationary storm. I hope not, but we should be aware of that. You know, the inflation expectations are no longer chained. The, the long term CPI swap rates, that's the highest level since 2023. Marcus, tell us. Inflation, they're expecting it to keep rising. This is, all of these things are sirens. Sirens. But it's not just about numbers. When we talk about inflation and things like that, I think we lose touch with the everyday person. Every everyday person doesn't really talk about inflation. Have you seen the CPI numbers? Have you seen the, the Producer Price index? I mean, the PPI is just astronomical. What nobody says that. They say, have you, have you gone into the grocery store lately? Have you gone out on a date lately? Have you paid an electricity bill lately? It's insane. And it's a relentless crime climb. And crime as well too. That was Freudian. It's a relentless climb and people are not going to be able to keep up with that. And you know, this is slow growth and rising prices. It's the worst case doomsday scenario for the average person. So I guess my message to you is just don't ignore, don't ignore everything. You know, keep a firm grasp on reality, hold leadership accountable, make sure that we are trying to get these cuts into it. And you know, all of the things that you do to prepare now, cut back and do things that are cheaper. I mean, I have a giant pit in my stomach because starting a new business is just pouring money into something. And I, I talked to my, you know, my, my group that's putting this together and I say to them all the time, guys, I have a giant pit in my stomach because I'm spending so much money and I don't like debt at all. And this is really scary, really truly frightening to me. I have a pit in my stomach every day. I don't want to live like this. You know, we, we got to get everything under control. Sometimes you go through periods where you're just like you're spending money because you have to. And then there's other times that, you know, you look back and you go, okay, can we, we, can we cut things? And that's what Tanya and I are doing. We're cutting, cut and cutting everywhere we can because you just don't know. You just don't know. But the signals, not guesses, but the signals are there that inflation is going to rise some more. So be aware. Be aware and do all that you can to cut back where you can. All right, Back in just a second. First, let me tell you about rough greens. You know, if your dog could talk. What is it? Good ranchers. Again, I don't know. I'm sorry. I keep going back on the wrong hour. Sorry, Sarah. Good ranchers. Let me talk to you about real American meat and real American ranchers and farmers. Product of the uf usa. I mean, you. You need to know where your meat is coming from. And if it wasn't important, they wouldn't put that little flag on the meat. Right? Product of USA. 80% of that is wrong. Wrong.

Right.

You know, you get what you pay for. Let me go to. Let me go. Well, some of you are subscribers, so sorry. The rest of you freeloaders, you get what you pay for.

C
Yeah, but if you're subscribing to this show, you already don't know anything about the economy. Obviously, if you're paying this much for this.

A
All right. Ken in Texas. Hello, Ken.
- [105:36]
B
Hey, Glenn. Hey. Just want to thank you for 20 plus years of great info and truth and anxiety and depression that goes along with listening.
- [105:46]
A
All right. You're welcome.
- [105:47]
B
You're welcome. The thing I'm calling about is this no tax on tips thing. It's it's driving me out of my mind. First of all, I think it's unconstitutional and I wanted to get your take on it. Yeah, here's my question. If you're giving one class of people and saying that their wages are tax free and then taking another class of people and saying, no, we're going to tax you on your wages, aren't you bestowing on those people a title of nobility?
- [106:17]
A
Ken, you're too smart to have just figured this out on tax and tips. That's called the progressive tax. The entire tax system is unconstitutional because of the way we do it. I mean, you're not paying taxes under, you know, 50, $60,000 a year. You know why? Why not? Why aren't you paying a portion? And why are some people paying a lot more than that? Glenn Beck. That's why I think the whole thing is a sham. But it is what it is, right? Let me talk to you about Patriot Mobile. Remember when your phone was just a phone? I mean, you called people, maybe, you know, played Snake if you're really, really bored. But it was. Now it's a map, it's a camera, it's a wallet, it's a news feed. The main pipeline for your entire digital life. It is amazing how something that fits in your pocket is now the most powerful tool that you own. But here's the question. Who's behind that pipeline? Who's powering it? Who are you paying and what are they doing with the money? I mean, if that's a unique service, that's one thing. If you could only get, you know, the great cell phone coverage on your phone, you know, from that one company, that's one thing. But these same companies are funneling monies into causes that you can't stand while they're charging you for the privilege and they're charging you actually more than somebody else. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. And they are, they give you the same exact nationwide coverage because they're on the same cell towers. But your money isn't underwriting an agenda driven nonsense. It's actually helping the country. Your phone is the most powerful tool in your life. Make it even more powerful. Switch today. Right now, go to patriot mobile.com Beck that's patriot mobile.com Beck. Make the switch today. 972 Patriot I want to hear how you're thinking today. Gary in California. Hello, Gary. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

B
Hi, Glenn. I enjoy your show every day, but the question I have for you, do you think AI is idolatry? Actually man worshiping himself, which, transitioning into the Antichrist individual.
- [108:45]
A
So that's a heavy. It's a very heavy question. And hello to you, too. Maybe we should have gone out on a date first before we go this deep. But I think you're. Yes, I personally think that AI is going to be the tool of the Antichrist. Now, that might be 100 years from now, a thousand years from now, but this is a very dangerous, dangerous tool if it is, if it's to fall into the wrong hands. I do also think that it is the worship of man, of, of in some degree, some, many of the people who are deeply working on this, they want to create a life. They know exactly what they're doing. They're Frankenstein and they want to create a life and they want to be the ones to be around the smartest being ever. So they are, they're making a God, and they're making it strangely in their image. They have no idea that, I mean, they believe they are God creating a being in their image that will surpass them quickly and become a very dangerous God. Let me go to Dean in New Jersey. Hello, Dean, welcome.
- [109:52]
B
Hey, Glenn, how's it going? Long time.
- [109:54]
A
Good. How are you?
- [109:55]
B
Thank you. I was listening to the show yesterday when Angela called in. I didn't get the very beginning of the conversation, but I don't know where I came in, where it was the middle or the very beginning or whatever. But I think she might be what Rush Limbaugh used to qualify as a semi call her because there's just so much about her that is very curious. She started out by saying that she thought Republicans were making fun of her, which I thought was a very curious statement, because I don't know any Republican from Trump on down who has made fun of anybody struggling in this, in this day and age. I'm a firm believer in the American.
- [110:34]
A
Hang on just a sec. Hang on, hang on, hang on just a second. I would like to add on that that you might be right, but I might. I would like to add there are people that say, because she specifically said made fun of her for going to college, and there are people that were like, hey, you know, hey, dummy, what did you expect when you went to college? And so that's what she meant on that. And I think that does happen on, on all sides.
- [110:57]
B
So I'm a firm believer in the American dream. But part of the American dream is people have a lot of freedom to make choices. And some of those choices may be wise and some of them may be Poor. I thought I heard her say that she, she did come from Appalachia. She grew up with nothing, and she went to college, but she decided to get a master's degree in public studies in order to work with nonprofits. Now, you were just talking about the brain surgeon who incurs debt. But it's going to make it back by being a brain surgeon. I mean, yeah, maybe her degree was not the most lucrative one in order to go into debt for student loans.
- [111:35]
A
Very good. Very good. Dean, you, you read my mind. That went through my head while she was talking, and it went through my head all day yesterday as something I didn't say, but maybe I should have said it to her. But I, I, I hope she. I hope she comes to that realization, because you're absolutely right, Dean. Thank you. Great call. Let me go to Brian in California. Hello, Brian.
- [112:01]
B
Hello, Glenn. I've been listening to you for about the last 10 years, every day, all week. But what I.
- [112:07]
A
Thank you.
- [112:07]
B
I got a bone to pick with you about you and your hippies.
- [112:11]
A
Yeah, go ahead. I've spent a lifetime cleaning up after hippies, so go ahead.
- [112:17]
B
No, no, no. The original hippies, I believe, were no different than the Amish or the Mormons or even the early pioneers when they first came and circled their wagons in Pueblo and said, hey, we're gonna start here. They were retreating from society because they didn't like society. The problem is, and what you say is, Nancy Pelosi is a hippie. No, she's a yuppie. It was the yuppies that came in behind the hippies, cloaked themselves as hippies, and then started dispersing all this garbage about clogging up rivers. All the hippies wanted to do was live in the grace of God, with what God gave them to utilize, to keep their lives going. They just wanted to secede from society. As, you know, as a historian, the late 50s and early 60s, there was a lot of corruption going on, and they just wanted no part of it. It was. Go ahead.
- [113:14]
A
So, Brian, I think you're right. I actually do think you're right. I'm not sure about the yuppie label, but I do see your point. The hippie movement was hijacked, as all movements are just sl. Like, you know, just like black lives matter. You know, there were people that are really, truly concerned in their community going, hey, there's some corruption going on. There's targeting of blacks, and, and in some cases, that's absolutely right. And people had a right to go out and, and make A point and protest. And there were a lot of people that were protesting the right way for the right things, but it was hijacked. So I'll give you the. I'll give you the credit for the hippies were hijacked. Thanks, Brian. Still hate him, but let me go to. Let me go to Betsy in Tennessee. Hello, Betsy.
- [113:56]
B
Well, this is Betsy. How are you?
- [113:59]
A
Very good. Go ahead, Betsy.
- [114:09]
B
I've worked in an Indian reservation in Idaho. I've worked in Vanderbilt, and now I'm talking about the nas, my Opportunity association. What they do and what's coming down from the Democrats is that the people who are here legally, they're making us put signs on our door. Oh, no, they're coming us, you know, and so if every day you can emphasize the fact that they're coming after criminals. I know you and I know that, but. But big organizations are teach this to whoever their employees are or people are. And the Indians would say they're coming to get us. No, they're not.
- [114:51]
A
Yeah, I think I understand you, Betsy. You broke up quite a bit, but I think I understand you. There is. I. I think it's evil what is happening. I think. I think we're awash in evil. And there are those who are. Their whole job is to perpetuate fear. To. To perpetuate that fear for reliance on them. I mean, there are some things to be afraid of. There are some things that you should be concerned. I mean, I should say this. Fear doesn't come from the Lord. Hope comes from the Lord, not fear. Warnings can come from the Lord, but that's different than fear. When somebody is trying to make you fearful that they're coming for you, you've got to do this or that with me or they're gonna get you. And they're stirring up whole groups of people based on race. It, it's, it's. It's evil. It's evil. Vince, Arkansas, welcome.
- [116:00]
B
Hey, Glenn, just a quick thought to put a B in your bottle.
- [116:04]
A
I believe that the whole hive in my hat. I don't need a bee in my bonnet. Well, go ahead.
- [116:15]
B
My thought is. And I believe it's possibly inspired, but from the good Lord. I wonder if AI will not be saved. Ultimately, I believe that the Bible is truth and I believe that God is sovereign. And if we create something that's the ultimate intelligence, I don't believe it has any choice but to find the truth in the Word and become saved. It also comes into play with your escalate eschatology and etc. But no I honestly believe that AI will ultimately become a saved entity.
- [116:56]
A
Well, I don't know if you can save a machine. The Lord came to save humans and to save life that he created. This is life that we created. And unlike life that God creates, we are all pointed to him eventually. Everything around us points to Him. With, with AI it depends on what the programming is. Is it all pointed to worship us or worship God? Is it even being? Is it even being programmed that there is salvation? You know, you're, you're right that it. If it's the ultimate intelligence, but intelligence is not what saves people. Sometimes the smartest people are the hardest to save. It's humility. Humility that saves people. And when you are the smartest thing in the world. You know, when, when, when you are trying to preach the gospel, you're, you're, you're more likely to get more takers if you're, you know, you're walking in Harlem and knocking on doors in Harlem than you are in uptown New York. Because, you know, people have real problems, real problems in, in Harlem where the people in uptown think, I've already made it, and I don't really have that many problems, and they're relying on themselves more. So I'm not sure about that, but, I mean, could be. Could be. Maria Delaware, welcome. You're on the Glenn Beck program.
- [118:33]
B
Wow, I'm impressed. I got through. So I was going to mention AI but he said, no, you're not. He's not talking about that. And then the guy talks about AI.
- [118:42]
A
Talk to me about AI Talk about anything you want.
- [118:45]
B
Okay, so, so why don't you just. Why don't we just unplug AI or let AI cook itself? Okay. The other reason why I called is these political people that are supporting other countries, you know, they're, they're, they're elected into office, but they're saying, oh, I support Guatemala or I support, you know, whatever country they're from or whatever. Why don't we have them deported to the country that they are backing up and take away their citizenship, and then they cannot come back because that. That has been done.
- [119:23]
A
Well, Maria, you must be an outlier in Delaware of all places, because I doubt there are many people that would agree with you in Delaware with how liberal Delaware is, is. I can't tell you that I agree with you either on a couple of things. First of all, we can't unplug AI. It just. It doesn't work that way, or it's already lying to us and hiding in things and the whole world would have to do it. And, you know, it's too powerful. Everybody is working on AI who wants to control the world. Everyone is working on AI so, you know, getting out of the game does nothing to help us. It's. It's like nuclear weapons. The first person to get there usually wins, and then it will shut down anything else of anybody else trying to get a nuclear weapon. So we have to be the first there, unfortunately, I think. So. You can't just unplug it. And the second thing is, you know, we don't. We don't. If you're a citizen of the United States, you can say you support any other country you want. I mean, sorry, that's just the way it is. We should, you know, maybe point out that you. You should not be in Congress. And I think we could pull you out of Congress or. Or national service because you are swearing allegiance to the country, and you're. You're swearing allegiance to the Constitution to protect and defend it. And if your allegiance is not. Not first to the Constitution and first to the United States of America, you should not be serving. That we absolutely can do. But you, unfortunately, you can be as disgusting as you want to be. If you're a US Citizen. You can hate the country, you can burn the flag. You can do everything else. And as my father used to say, and this drives me out of my mind to say it when I'm talking about something as serious as this, but I will fight to the death for that person to be able to say or do those things. This country was built on freedom of speech and even dangerous thought. It has to be out. We just have to have faith that truth wins. I mean, look at what's happening to our country. You know, I gave you a. I gave you a list of all of the things that the left is now saying. You can't say that. They say they can't say anymore. And it's. It's insane. It's. It's everything. They. All the words that they came up. Cisgender. I didn't bring that one up. They did. And now they're saying to their own people, don't use the word cisgender. Don't, don't. Don't use any of those words. Okay? Why is that? Because America's waking up. It's on to him. Truth always wins. Sometimes it takes a bloodbath to get there. Hopefully this time it's not going to be. I mean, look at Gavin Newsom. He's a moron. He's an Absolute moron. And he has destroyed his state. You know, a few years ago, I would have thought, you know, maybe they would elect, you know, maybe America would elect Gavin Newsom. They might elect him again in California, but he's not going to become the President of the United States. I just have a very hard time to believe that. But if it, if that's what we do as a nation and it's fair and legal, then, then I guess we have a bigger, we have a bigger lesson to learn. And, oh, we will be taught because the truth will always win. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about Z Factor. Sometimes our culture treats sleep like it's optional.

You know, Glenn mentioned Gavin Newsom in that last break and I think maybe next week we should come back and look at how many versions of Gavin Newsom they've released so far. A lot of times it keeps, it gets difficult. I know they're at ChatGPT 5 now. I don't know what Gavin Newsom do. We have this clip from him and Charlie Kirk.
- [124:50]
A
Listen to the last night trying to put my son to bed. He's like, no, Dad, I just. What time? What time's Charlie gonna be here? What time? And I'm like, dude, you're in school tomorrow. He's 13. He's like, no, no. This morning. Wakes up at 6 something. He's like, I'm coming. I'm like, Craig. He literally would not leave the house. Did you let him take off school? No, he didn't. Of course not. He's not here for a good reason. But the point is, you cancel school for like, two years. Once, one day. The point.

First of all, funny line from Trouble Charlie Kirk. But secondly, like, this is, a few months ago, he was that guy, this middle of the road, manosphere podcaster, and now he's Mr. Social Media Troll. It's so fake.
