Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck is our hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. You know, it is really funny. The Senate last night approved funding for most of dhs. They approved the funding for the Coast Guard and fema. Just not ice. Just not ice. Oh, and CISA is being funded again. So everything is going. And, you know, it's really funny. Dhs, dhs. Sorry. You know what's really funny is all it took was the President saying, you're worthless. I'm gonna do it myself. And then all of a sudden, they found the spine to come to a bill that they could both pass. And you know what it really was? It wasn't just Donald Trump, it was the fact that that ICE is winning the PR battle. Having ICE as TSA was the smartest thing Donald Trump could have done because wait until I show you some of the stuff that is going on around the country. The Democrats, I kind of wish they would have been dumb enough to continue this going because they were dismantling all of their arguments on ICE with the average person. Also, there is a new study out from Ryan Morrow, who has tracked and found where the war arguments are coming from on social media. It is not good. It is not good. This goes to something that I talked about several years ago, maybe five or 10 years ago. I said, there's going to come a time because of social media and because of AI. It's going to be so good. It will be the loss of free will. We have just approached the doorstep of that moment and I'm going to share that with you in just a minute. Standby. First, let me tell you about Rush Tax may come as a surprise to you, but the IRS is not your friend. Nah. You know, they believe what they're owed, they will collect the penalties, the interest. They don't forgive, they don't forget. And so when you have not filed a return, it's not filed properly. Properly, you know, the balance doesn't get paid. Whatever it is, they'll send you a letter and then when that letter sits there too long, they just, just start. It's like a taxi cab, a very expensive taxicab with guns and prison. This is where Rush Tax comes in. They work with people who have back taxes, unfiled returns, issues with the irs. They step in and they help find a plan to get you back into compliance, reduce what you owe when possible, and start moving forward again. When it comes to the irs, hoping sort of, you know, doesn't work, you know, you're not going to hope your way out of this situation having the right people in your corner. Will mention my name. Rush will provide a free IRS transcript investigation, a service other firms typically charge about $500 for. Even without confirming they can help you. Rush is the opposite. They give it to you free. And they'll only take your case if they know they can help you and save you money. Rush tax attorneys. Get one now and protect yourself. 877554 Rush 877-554 Rush 877-554-7874 or go to rush taxresolution.com okay. Well, I think it's interesting that suddenly they found. They found it within themselves that they could finally go. You know what I think? Yes. What we're going to do is we're going to fund DHS. We're going to end the DHS after 42 days. Okay? All kinds of pressure. They didn't care about. They did not care about you having to stand in line. You were a prop. They didn't care about the planes that you have missed or whatever has happened in your life because they shut TSA down, they shut DHS down. They didn't care about that. Donald Trump said, you know what? I'm going to find a way to do it myself. And all of a sudden they found the will. But that's not all. I want to play a few pieces of audio here for you. That kind of show. Exactly. Really what happened here is. Let's cut. Let me do the vo. Ice. Ice saves boy at JFK airport. Let me show you some video. This is of ice. ICE sees this one year old boy in line. Laid in line, gone, unresponsive. He's not breathing, waiting in line at JFK airport. And one of the ICE officers steps into action, gives him the Heimlich and saves this one year old's life. Okay. That's kind of a big deal. It's funny, I didn't see CNN lead with that. I didn't. Why wouldn't you leave? That is like a really good news story. That is government doing the right thing. That's an ICE agent. Just being a literal lifesaver. Do they cover that? Probably not. Now let me show you this. Cut eight, please. This is from the Daily Wire. We have karate. How about you? Here are. Here's a nice member handing out bottled water to people who are standing in line. Huh? You know what? This is the greatest PR move I've ever seen. And it was affecting normal people. Cut nine. Listen to this guy.

You're happy with ice?
- [09:03]
Glenn Beck
Yes.
- [09:03]
Contest Winner / Female Singer
Okay.
- [09:04]
Glenn Beck
I like that.
- [09:04]
I. Happy with ice. Thank you. Shaking the hand. I don't know if you hear that because I'm not hearing anything, Sarah on my end, but a man with broken English coming up, getting water and thanking ice. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for doing what you're doing for the lines here at the airport. That's why they changed last night, because they knew they were going to lose and it was going to happen quickly. Honestly, because of Donald Trump and Tom Homan. I think these guys saw what's coming. I mean, Donald Trump is a showman. He knows, he knows, he knows what's effective, what's not effective. And so suddenly last night they proved so hopefully the lines at the airport will be fixed really, really soon. Now, I told you in the past that, and it sounded nuts when I said it. I said the algorithms are going to get so good and AI is going to get so good. Social media is going to be everywhere. When agents start operating, AI agents. And we are at the very beginning of this, okay? When people understand how to navigate all of this stuff and when AI is really souped up, you are going to lose your free will. And now that sounds crazy, but it will be so good. You will be shaped constantly 247 that you will not know. Did I really make that decision or was that decision shaped for me? On me, slowly, piece by piece. Now I'm hearing an echo, Sarah. Am I, am I, have I been shaped or did I come to this conclusion my, myself? Well, let me give you the latest. With the war underway, your phone is probably the, the biggest problem. Your phone is probably the, the thing that is going to be making decisions for you. Over half of the viral post. Been looking over a thousand viral English language posts about the war in Iran between February 28 and March 13 shows something I think is a little unsettling. Over half of these posts, 559 of them, originated outside of the United States. And among the top 100 most viral posts, 40 came from foreign sources. So 40% of what you're seeing is from outside the United States. And they're not fringe posts. Okay? Each one had at least 2500 shares. These are the messages. Out of the most powerful, 40% of them are coming outside and what are they saying? So a sample of just random of 150 of the viral posts showed 72% of them were negative. Only 27 were positive. 27%. The rest are neutral. But when you isolate the foreign posts. Oh, that's when it becomes distorted. Only 10% were positive, 64% were negative. The rest were just noise. These 559 foreign origin posts generated over 650 million views, nearly 22 million interactions. That's not a conversation. That is that saturation. The content is not staying foreign. Here's what happened. US based accounts are taking these foreign messages and then repeating and amplifying it and quoting hostile foreign sources directly, unknowingly carrying the message even further. That's. That's not. That's new. That's new. This is foreign propaganda in our own homes. And for the very first time, social media platforms, especially X, are automatically translating foreign language posts into English. That means the content created anywhere in the world is now instantly injected into American discourse. Without context, without friction, without warning. You have no idea where it's coming from. So what you're seeing is coming at you from three different directions at once. First, American accounts, 72% of the viral posts were negative. Okay. And they often were echoing what the foreign posts were saying. Second, 4 and 40% of these were foreign accounts posting in English designed to look domestic. But nearly 2/3 of those were negative, remember, in English, designed to look like they came from America. Who does that? Third, foreign language posts automatically translated and fed directly into your timeline. Three streams, one effect, and that is distortion and convincing you that this is everywhere. So what were the narratives? What were the dominant narratives being pushed? There were two. Can you guess what they were? The first one was the claim about the Zionist conspiracy that Zionists were manipulating President Trump into launching military action in Operation Epic Fury. So the first one out of the 40 posts and the main influence was it's Israel's fault. Hmm. So do you believe that or were you convinced of that? Because you saw all of these posts that you had no idea were foreign posts trying to look like they were just you. The second one claims it's Wag the Dog, that it's meant to divert attention from the Epstein related scandals and falling approval ratings. Those were the two. They're not organic. These were coordinated themes, just 10 accounts. 10 were responsible for 32% of all views in this entire data set. The top 20 accounts accounted for 43%. So you have 10 accounts. Hell, just say 50 accounts. 50 accounts shaping nearly what half of what millions upon millions upon millions are seeing. Wow, that's pretty remarkable. If you are younger, you have never lived outside of social media. You've never lived that. These are not neutral observers. They're participants and they are very, very effective. But what they are creating is not real. It feels like it, but it's not real. It's a digital mirage. It is propaganda. 81% of MAGA Republicans support Operation EPIC Fuhrer. 61% of non MAGA Republicans support it. A plurality of Americans Overall support it. 66% believe Iran poses a serious threat to national security. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Those are the real numbers. But you go online, it doesn't feel like that, does it? Huh? That's really a consensus, at least much more than you'd guess by reading things online. What you're seeing on social media is not reflection, it's construction. It's bizarro world where the loudest, most extreme, most inflammatory voices are amplified until they appear to be the majority. You, if you're young, you've never lived out of this system, you may not even realize it is happening, but that's what's happening. You just assume this is reality. It is not reality. And the future of public opinion of this country, of the west is not going to be decided only by our elections or policy debates. It's going to be decided by what dominates our timelines. This is the danger of social media. If one side, any side, gains control of the digital Echo ecosystem, it becomes strategically divisive, decisive in deciding things like do we go to war or not, do we like ice or not. Information is, is no longer trustworthy when we're making battlefield decisions. The battlefield is social media. And most people don't even know that they are being shaped every day. They have no idea. Did you have any idea? I mean, I suspected, but you have no idea that you are being shaped. You couple this with something else that we've been talking about and you've got a real problem. Western world, you're in trouble. I'll give you that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about my Patriot Supply. My Patriot Supply is the country's largest preparedness company. And you know, you might just need them now more than ever because there was a time when people feel like, you know, we felt like we could rely on some things around us. But I mean, I don't know, does anybody have anything under control? That confidence has taken a real hit. And whether it's supply issues, mixed messages, or just the feeling that things aren't as stable as they used to be, more people are starting to realize that waiting on someone else to fix a problem is not a plan. That's why self reliance matters. And paint. My Patriot supply has been there. They've helped me build my kit for forever. I've had them forever. Reliable meals. Meals when you need them. It's not about overreacting. It's not about panic. It's just making sure that you know you're prepared because life is unpredictable. Now's the time I want you to go to preparewithglen.com you'll find a limited time special offer that'll help you get ready for whatever is coming your way. It's preparewithglenn.com get their preparedness special right now. Preparewith glenn.com 10 seconds station ID. All right, so by the way, that is an exclusive that can be found@glenn beck.com right now. Glenn beck.com and there's something else that if you're a Torch member we are releasing today. Let me see if I can get to the website. The easiest way to find it is stop the conquest.com it is if you're a torch member. You get an awful lot there today. Stop the conquest. Let me get it and pull it up. You will see the Jihad Within Bonus content the Jihad From Within I don't know if you've noticed this, but thank God people are starting to talk about all the things that are going wrong because we are burying our heads in the sand on what's happening with with Islam and Islamists. So we did this special last week. It's called the the Jihad from Within or the Blueprint for Our Own Destruction. And we had several guests on there, but they were edited for the show to fit an hour, an hour and a half. And we have released all of the raw interviews. So if you want to go deeper, there's about two hours of extra video content now from all of the experts answering all of the questions that we have. But more importantly I think is the Islamist blueprint. We have the official documents guide right now and it is how many pages? Like 30 some pages. It is really good. It does not have my name on it anywhere so you can pass it to your friends. But it has all of the documents. It lays out the entire story, everything that we talked about in the special and it provides all of the documentation. So I have always said you don't trust me. Please don't trust me. Please do your own homework. This is a guide that you can have in your home and you can share. I invite you. Print it. Share. It's free. Just take it off. I mean you have to be a TORCH subscriber at this point. But take it, copy it Spread it around to as many people as you possibly can and, and get this word out. It is the blueprint of our own destruction. And all of the information that you need, all of the original documents, all of the proof that this is going on in their own words and in their own documents, is now available online at stop the conquest.com stop the conquest.com it is so vitally important. I was speaking in West Palm last night, and somebody asked me, what is the most pressure pressing issue? And that is a hard question to answer. I mean, what is the most pressing issue right now? There's so many things. I'm torn between two One, the jihad from within, the, the takeover. This, I believe, is the final battle. This is the. This is the battle to end all battles. This is a war that started, you know, millennia ago that we're going to have. Either we're going to fight or our children will fight if we don't stop it right now. And it is evil and it is trying to destroy the entire west and make a global caliphate. No, that sounds crazy. Get the bonus content. Read it for yourself. Watch this. Watch the special for yourself. You will understand what we face. The other problem that I'm torn between the two is apathy. How many Americans are just like, yeah, maybe, maybe. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. There is a difference between hearing about suffering and knowing exactly where you stand when you see it, because it's easy to agree with something in theory and say, yeah, that matters, you know, or somebody should help. But it's a different thing to step into that need in a real tangible way and do it right now. There are Jewish men and women, many of them elderly, living in poverty right in the nation of Israel, struggling to get by. Okay, that happens a lot of places. But these are communities that need security simply to live their daily lives. And it's also a place where the sirens are going off multiple times a day and these people can't get out. They can't buy food, and the people who usually bring them food can't get to them. So we have these great Christians, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews on the ground right now providing food and shelter and protective equipment, everything. You want to get involved? Would you make a donation right now? Get involved. IFCJ.org you can, you can make a $45 gift and it'll be rush to people who really need it. IFCJ.org. This is insane. We found out. I think it Was last week. There is a war on motherhood by the CIA. Newly released CIA documents reveal the Biden administration identified motherhood and homemaking as an indicator of white racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism. The intelligence assessment reveals top to bottom bias at the CIA under Biden. This is absolutely terrifying. Terrifying. How did we get to this place? And why does it seem no one in America cares? Gene Hamilton, he cares. He's with America's first legal. He's the president and co founder. Gene, can you tell me and take us through some of these documents and what is being done?
- [26:32]
Gene Hamilton
Well, thanks for having me on. You raise very important points. It is absolutely insane that the United States government, in particular the intelligence community, would issue any kind of report that remotely touches anything like motherhood or traditional roles of marriage and homemaking as being indicators of propensities to engage in any kind of terroristic or violent conduct or extremism of any kind. But what you have to do, Gwen, is you have to go back and you have to think. All right, now, actually, as a moment of clarity here, of course, thank you to the Trump administration for withdrawing this product. It was an actual CIA document that they published and that they have since withdrawn because it didn't meet their standards. But you then, you have to think, well, now, how is it that something like this comes to be. And I think that you and I and your audience at home all know that it's not all patriots working in the intelligence community. Many of them are, most of them are, I would suspect. But there are a lot of people who get hired out of Ivy League schools, out of elite worldviews, and who think that Netflix movies are reality. And if you look at this product or if you look at some of the other products that they published, they seem to espouse viewpoints that you would see on some crazy Netflix produced movie that views white people or views traditional roles of marriage or motherhood as indicators of some kind of threat to our national security. And that, in fact, is insane.
- [28:22]
Glenn Beck
So I look at this and I think it is so insane. I have, I have no, you know, I have no inside knowledge of what everybody is tracking and things. But I, I'm, you know, not a casual observer of society and life in America. And the only thing I can think of as a motive is she who rocks the cradle rules the world. You've got to destroy the family. That is one of the stated, from the left, one of the stated goals. Destroy the traditional family. So you mark moms, you also believe in global warming. Mark, moms stop having babies. I mean, this is so insidious. But to be fair, is there anything that you can find in this document that shows. Well, that was, I could see how they read it this way. I can see how they took this information and said, maybe that's leading to extremism. I'm being way over gracious, but I have to ask.
- [29:23]
Gene Hamilton
Anything you have to ask, you have to ask. I don't think so. I mean, and especially when you consider this in the context of what other documents were produced during the Biden administration in public documents. And of course, documents that were, were classified have subsequently been declassified. But remember, they issued in the Biden administration a domestic security strategy that identified conservative Americans, identified all kinds of traditional values as being threats to our domestic security. The Biden administration's entire team, their apparatus, viewed traditional Americans, white Americans or conservative Americans, military veterans, as the greatest potential threats to the security of the United States. I mean, it was. The absolute ludicrousness of this just can't be overstated. I mean, it's wild. But that was their worldview and they created products and from those products derive action. And from that action comes investigations and retribution campaigns that played out all across the country against various Americans. And so this is not just something that the American people should shrug their shoulders at and say, well, you know, it's kind of. That sounds a little silly.
- [30:44]
Glenn Beck
Silly.
- [30:44]
Gene Hamilton
Democrats shouldn't do that again. No, this is real dangerous stuff. And they have to realize this is what is going to happen again. If they get in power again, they will do this type of product again and we will all suffer the consequences.
- [31:01]
Glenn Beck
I have to tell you, I am, I am, I am convinced that our security apparatus is a danger to the Republic. It's absolutely a danger. And it should, you should never feel that way. You should be skeptical, but you should never feel like, I think they're a danger to the Republic. And the reason why I say that is you can take this, what you have been calling a product, you can take it out, you can remove it. But what about the people who produced it? What about the people inside the agencies that didn't raise the alarm and say, what the hell are we doing?
- [31:36]
Right, Right.
- [31:38]
Gene Hamilton
Oh, absolutely. I mean, there has to be top to bottom review of the people who are involved in producing these products, contributing to these products, and there needs to be consequences for them. Now, of course, it's very difficult for us as average Americans to keep tabs on the employment actions within the intelligence community. I am confident, at least under this administration that they're doing everything in their power to address it. But it's. It's as you say, Glenn though it is. It is not just this one product. You have to wonder, well, who else was in the agency at the time who was just okay with this happening? Who went along with it? Will they speak up in the future next time that there is some radical in. In the administration who's wanting to push a ridiculous product that has no basis in reality? Will they raise their voice? Will they speak up? Because if they didn't before, chances are they're not going to do it again and again. The main point being here, this, this is, this is extraordinarily dangerous. The consequences are significant and we all have to be aware of this, go forward and we make decisions about things in the fall. In particular, listen to this.
- [32:58]
Glenn Beck
The purpose is to. Of this document is to focus on women who are supporters or sympathetic to transnational white remvies. R E M V E Do you know what a REMVY is? Go ahead.
- [33:17]
Gene Hamilton
Yeah. No, I mean it's just, it's what, it's. This, this has ties, it has connections also with some of this trans ideology has ties with some of the folks who are engaging in just a modern weaponized war on womanhood. People who don't appreciate and value and support women as God created individuals who are distinct and unique in their capabilities and want to distort and change all concepts of gender in our society.
- [33:51]
Glenn Beck
To.
- [33:52]
Gene Hamilton
Again, you have to look, Glenn, that you mentioned earlier. The destruction of the family. The destruction of the family is the one thing that can help liberals and Marxists obtain power because it eliminates that support network. It eliminates so much. And they will take, they will take products like this, they will engage in other activities. They will do all kinds of things to destruct and destroy the family because that's another way for them to obtain power.
- [34:20]
Glenn Beck
Correct. And they're. And they're talking about this over in Europe and you know, that's the way the CIA gets away with it. But you can guarantee it has been. Come here. Remvy is racially an ethnically motivated violent extremist. So. A racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists. I would say that there are those who are in BLM that fit that. I would say that there are. I would say that there are Islamists. The Islamist movement absolutely fits that. But then they say the mothers believe that their perception of an idealized white European ethnic identity is under attack from people who embody and support multiculturalism and globalism, it is under attack. I mean, this is. This is incredible. I mean, this is incredible. They do not actually identify anybody who is a violent extremist who is attacking those kind of, you know, visions of the future and visions of the past, if you will. They're not going after them. Just the people who are saying, wait a minute, I like my country. I like the culture that we have right now. I don't, I don't want to become that culture. Why? Why are they the only ones that are in the crosshairs?
- [35:43]
Gene Hamilton
Well, I mean, look, there's all kinds of reasons that we could get into. And I think one thing that we can just make clear for everybody, everyone listening here would rightly condemn anyone who wants to engage in any kind of violent extremism on, on any basis. There's just no place for it. But to, to connect and to. And to insinuate that just because somebody wants France to remain France is somehow going to be a violent extremist,
- [36:13]
Glenn Beck
is
- [36:14]
Gene Hamilton
a threat is ridiculous. Because, look, I mean, what are they saying? Should Japan not remain Japan? Should it not have a Japanese character? Should Nigeria not remain Nigeria? Is there a problem with a person desiring for countries to have their own individual, unique cultures? It, again, it comes from this worldview, from these elite institutions. And some of the folks who get behind the creation of some of these products is that they, they. They think that it is, in fact, dangerous for someone to think that America, you know, if you are a person who views the world based on merit and appreciates individual humans regardless of where they came from, but understands that it was founded on Judeo Christian values by individuals from Western Europe principally, then the notion that that was actually our history and that's who we are, and it's a fact, and there's nothing wrong with that continuing fact. To maintain our identity is just something that they're just not used to dealing with. And we're going to see more and more of this, Glenn, unless. Unless we stop these things, I think you're saying.
- [37:37]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, unless we, Unless we elect the right people. I mean, I am. I don't know about you. I'm sure you feel the same way, Gene. I am, for the first time, truly terrified of what is coming our way if these elections go and give the power back to the left, because it's not even to the Democrats anymore. The Democrats have been wholly eaten by the left, and they are talking about purges and everything else. It is very, very concerning. When you see this was happening under Biden. Good God, Almighty. What would happen under a Marxist?
- [38:12]
Yes, absolutely.
- [38:17]
Gene, besides the election, is there anything that people should be aware of or do?
- [38:24]
Gene Hamilton
Look, I think that again, just with all things in life, Glenn, we all have our own spheres of influence. And one of the most important things is spreading knowledge. This is a product. This particular product we're talking about today was declassified and withdrawn by the CIA, you know, I guess about a month ago, and it didn't get a whole ton of attention. There are a lot of people in your sphere of influence for the folks at home, your friends, your family, who have no idea, no knowledge about the
- [38:56]
Glenn Beck
existence of this product.
- [38:57]
Gene Hamilton
Product. And they would. They see things in the headlines. They believe some things. They think that, you know, maybe all the Trump administration's being radical and here they're doing this crazy thing again and they really need to understand that. No, no. In fact, that's a narrative that's being painted here. That's not accurate. And in fact, on the other hand, look at what these people were doing. The last team that was in here amongst everything else that everybody already knows. We need to spread knowledge. We need to make sure that people are aware that these types of products exist. They are real. They are going to happen again. And there is no going back to some kind of moderate Democratic administration is not a likely thing that is going to happen in the future.

Thank you so much. Gene Hamilton. Thank you for being on and thanks for all of the work that you and all of your colleagues do every day. Appreciate it. America first president and co founder. You bet. Gene just sent you the link to the actual report. It did come out about a month ago. We talked about it at the time, but I didn't think that people are paying enough attention to it, so wanted to do this. We'll put this interview out. But Ricky, if you could tweet for me the actual link to the CIA document. It is again, nobody's opinion. That's the document. Read it. It is shocking. Read it and share that with your friends and say, this is what the Biden administration was doing on about moms and women. This is extraordinarily dangerous and everybody needs to be aware. We are entering different territory. All right, let me tell you about Rapid Radios. Let's say something serious happened today. Would you be able to reach your family or would you hope the phone still works? You know, I don't know if you remember this, but on September 11th, the phone lines were just overwhelmed. Cellular, nothing was coming out of New York. The cell towers were down. But everything else was overwhelmed. You didn't get your call through right away. It was pretty amazing. Are you sure that that's, you know that you're going to be able to contact your loved ones wherever they are? Rapid Radios will help you do that. They are pushed to talk devices that work coast to coast with no range limit, no contracts and no monthly fees. You turn them on and you start talking. We use them at the ranch because I know if you know something's ever wrong, we're not starting from zero. They also help us because the ranch is just sprawling and it's hard to get, you know, regular like walkie talkies or anything else to actually go through all of the fingers of the mountain.

You ever notice how we'll research a car for like three months and we'll compare every feature and read reviews and watch videos endlessly. And then when it comes to a mattress, the thing we spend a third of our life on, we just sort of lie down on one for 30 seconds at a store and go, eh, that seems fine. I guess that used to be me. I didn't think about much, honestly about what I was sleeping on. I wasn't, you know, if I wasn't falling off the edge, I figured it was doing its job right. But I actually tried a ghost bed and I realized how much I had been settling. Now some changes have happened recently in my life which allow me to actually sleep in for once. And thank God I have a ghostbed because it's not just like softer or firmer. It felt like it was built to support your body instead of just existing under it. It's not like waking up stiff.

Just based on a couple of charges. What the hell do they know about Cesar Chavez that we don't know? How bad is this guy? In reality, here's something uncomfortable. You don't always realize that you're missing things. You just notice you're working a little harder. You lean in a little bit more during conversations or you ask people, can you say that again? You then pretend you caught it the second time, even though you didn't. By the end of a long dinner or family gathering, you're worn out. Not from talking, but from straining just to keep up. This is what gradual hearing loss feels like for a lot of people. You're still present, you're still engaged. But everything takes more effort than it used to. What holds people back from doing something about it is isn't just pride. It is honestly the hassle, the appointments, the tests, the follow ups, the price tags that make hearing feel like a major medical product. Audien Hearing is trying to make that first step a lot simpler. Their Adam series over the counter hearing aids are designed to be approachable, easy to use without prescriptions, no complications, no fittings. You just get started, you put them in, charge them, and then you're hearing better than you have in a long time. And you hear what you've been missing. Don't wait. Go to audienthearing.com.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Glenn Beck
Just looking at what's going on in the world. And it's an interesting picture that we're seeing. And I want to start with something that came to my attention just a couple of days ago, something I said 10 years ago on this program 10 years ago this week. And I just want to give you an update on where we are. And then I'm going to back it up with some of the stories that are coming out about illegal aliens and what is happening. And it is, I mean somebody's pushing for chaos and collapse. Gee, I wonder who it could be. Red, Green, Alliance. We'll, we'll start there here in just a minute. First let me tell you about our sponsor at this half hour, it's Z Factor. You spend about a third of your life sleeping. But if you're like a lot of people, you spend a good chunk of that time just staring up at the scene ceiling, waiting for sleep to just show up. It doesn't show up. The frustrating part is, yeah, I mean you're already really, really tired. You're definitely really, really tired. And you know it's gonna only get worse tomorrow. Your body's ready, your mind is just not ready. Something doesn't click the way it used to. That is what Z Factor is for. Z Factor is a sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor. And it's designed to help you find, fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer so you can wake up feeling rested and clear headed. Because when your sleep starts working the way it's supposed to, everything else in your everyday waking life starts to work better as well. Right now save 46% on your first order. It's 1995. Just go to relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief. 800, the number four relief. It's relieffactor.com so 10 years ago I sat on a plane with my then chief of staff and, and this all comes from something that we found in a show. Every day in our, in our show prep I get a, I get a recap of the things I was talking about five years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago. This one came up this week, 10 years ago this week on the plane and he asked, he said where are we headed? What, what, what is, what is the world going to look like? What's America going to look like in 10 years? And so I talked about it on the air and I went back and listened to that show. It's pretty amazing. I laid out three possibilities. I didn't make a prediction. I said there, there are three ways this could go, I think. And the first one was slow decay, not a collapse. You wouldn't point to it on the calendar and say this is when it changed, but just a steady erosion. Okay, Corruption. These are my Words. Corruption would become routine. Violence will become background noise. Currency won't die overnight. It just buys less and less, year after year, until you just have to adjust your expectations downward. The border will blur. Drugs will flood in. Institutions will continue to weaken, but they won't break. They just stop working the way they once did. That was option number one. I don't know. That's pretty close. The other one was a darker turn. Listen to this one, I said. Or we will turn not to chaos, but from chaos. But it will all be about control. A moment will come when the system decides dissent is a real threat. When the people who warned, protested, resisted, are no longer just wrong, but dangerous. And the label will change from opponent to enemy. And once that word sticks, you know what usually follows. That was option two. I don't know. I think we've seen some of that. And then there was the more hopeful path, that citizens would wake up. That grassroot movements, imperfect but loud, might be a little messy, but they would remind the country who it was supposed to be. And people will look back and say, wow, that was the moment that it really turned around. That was 10 years ago. I think a little bit of all of those things happened, don't you? I mean, the slow declare decay. It's not a collapse, but erosion. Corruption is routine. Absolutely. Violence, a background noise. Absolutely. Currency, as in dai, just buys less. Year after year, we have to adjust our expectations downward. The border has absolutely blurred. The drugs are flooding in. Still are. The institutions haven't broken, but they weakened and things aren't working the way they used to. Okay. Add to that, I would say we have had the moment during the Biden administration where the system decided dissent was a real threat and they started to silence people. You know, people who warned and protested and resisted. I'm not going to take the COVID vaccine. You were all of a sudden dangerous. You weren't wrong. You were dangerous. And that's when we went from opponent to enemy. These people are trying to kill the elderly. And then the hopeful path. Remember, this was 10 years ago. So we're talking 2016. What was happening 2016. What was happening in 2016? I said the last path is the hopeful one. That citizens would wake up. A grassroots movement, imperfect, loud, maybe messy, would remind the country who it was supposed to be. And people would look back and say that was the moment it turned around. I think. I think all three paths happened at the same time. Bits and pieces. Here's what hasn't happened. We haven't decided which one. So in 10 years from now, what does the world look like? Well, it's not going to be a combination of all three. I can't give you, you know, a dark, desperate path, a really dystopian path and a hopeful path because. And expect them all to come, you know, and do what this did. Because we're out of Runway. You have to choose. Do we slam on the brakes with this plane right now or do we pull on the yoke and start to fly? We can't make that decision. That's the real problem. Because math is going to make the decision for us. Births are going to make the decision for us. Immigration, what we choose to do with our laws, how we vote. It's going to make the decision if we remain apathetic and uncommitted. And I know a lot of people say they're committed, but I ask myself today on the drive in, am I really committed? Am I really, truly committed? You know, I struggle with things just like you do. And there are times when I'm like, you know, but if I really was committed, I would do X, Y and Z. And the reason why I don't is I make excuses for myself. And I don't know if they're excuses or they're valid validation. I'm tired. I'm tired. You know, I. I don't have as much time. It feels like in my day or I can't last. I mean, I used to be able to go easy. Midnight. And when that would happen, I'm hearing myself back again, Sarah. And when that, when that would happen, I got a lot of stuff done, but I can't. My body just won't put up with that anymore. More so I'm tired all the time. And I'm also a little cranky. I'm more crankier than I used to be. Is that an excuse or is that reality? I don't know. I don't know. But have we done everything we can? There, there's more that we can do, but not. It's not going to take a lot because I've been thinking about this stuff. For me, what do we do? Well, one of the things that we can do is we've got to just continue to speak out. We have to. You know, I saw a quote from Jefferson recently because I always. I just remembered it being a well educated republic. A well educated people can be entrusted with their republic. That's not what he said. It's not what he said. He said a well informed public. Well, that's totally different. That takes it away from all of the eggheads. And that just puts it squarely on your shoulders. Are you well informed? You know, I just did a story last hour about trusting what you see in your social media feed. If you missed it, you'll find the story. It's an exclusive story@glenn beck.com today about how much of the viewpoint of the average Americans now, how much is being shaped by social media and what is the percentage of the social media just based on the war alone, how much is that coming from overseas and how much of that is made to look like it is being recorded here in America? A vast majority of it. This, this, this study I shared last hour is shocking. Find it@glenn beck.com right now and read that story. Once we are well informed, once we know what's true, what's not, then you have, you're able to form the conviction and say, you know what, this is a real problem. That's why today we released atstopthecontition.com an additional. How many hours? Six hours? Four hours? You remember many hours, many hours of raw interviews that we did in preparation for the special of, you know, Stopping the Conquest, the Islam Islamist plan to overthrow the United States of America and the Western world. But we also added a booklet, so it's free. You have to be a torch subscriber, but it is a free booklet. You can download it, I urge you, print it, share it with as many people as you can and get all of the information. Does not have my name on it. It's produced by me and my staff, but it doesn't have my name on it because I don't want that to be an obstacle for people. Go, well, I slap back. Because it has it. It has nothing but the original documents in it. So you can make the case, it lays out the case, and then it gives you all of the documents that are all originals. So, I mean, they can argue with the original documents all they want, but we have to be informed. We have to know what's actually happening in our own country. And one of the things that we have to know is there is a real danger, a real and present danger from people who are here illegally. And I'm not talking about the people who are cleaning your house, mowing your lawn. Yeah. Is that a problem? Yeah. It takes jobs from people, et cetera, et cetera. But we're in an existential threat. We are talking. Did you hear the story? The brother and sister who were indicted after authorities say that one of them planted a potentially deadly explosive outside of MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. This. We. This just happened. And I thought, brother and sister. What the. What is happening? What do you mean? There. What. Yep, a brother and sister. The brother. The sister's been arrested. The brother went back home to China. China. Hmm. That doesn't sound like a good thing, does it? Meanwhile, we have. We have our own governors that are aiding and abetting. That is the only way to say it. Aiding and abetting. When you have somebody who has been arrested for especially violent crimes and you won't help. You won't. No, no, not help. You won't follow the law and call ICE and say, hey, by the way, at the back door, we're going to be escorting this guy out. You want him. He's an illegal. He's just. He's just stabbed and raped a woman. You might want to deport them when they won't even do that. You're aiding and abetting. You're aiding and abetting. I'm going to meet with a father today. I'm dreading this. I have a pit in my stomach today. I am dreading having this conversation. I'm going up to the Chicago area and I'm talking to a dad who just lost their daughter. You know the story. Governor won't say anything. Nobody will say anything. Nobody will even recognize and killed by an illegal. It's not the one that just happened. This one happened before that one. Nobody. Nobody knows it. Nobody cares. It seems at least nobody in power. I'll bring that story to you on Monday. But now the New Jersey Democrat governor is now saying, we're. We're not going to cooperate with ice. We're not going to cooperate with ice. What? Tell me, tell me, how can you be for. How can you be for. For empathy and justice when. When you can't. Don't have any empathy for the victims, and you make the perpetrator the victim. There's no empathy in you. You can claim, oh, I'm empathetic with the illegals. Well, you can be empathetic. I understand empathy for people who just want to make a better life for themselves and they saw an open border in America, didn't care about its borders, and came here to make a better life for them and their children. I have no empathy, none whatsoever, for people who are criminals, came from another country and went, I can be a kingpin in America because they'll never arrest me, and I'm going to rape and kill whoever I want. I have. Who has empathy for that. You're not empathetic. You're a monster. You're a monster. You're not for justice. When you will have somebody who raped and killed an innocent person, raped and killed them, and you're wanting justice for them and not the one who was just raped and killed. Democrats. You got to wake up. You got to wake up. You have trapped yourself inside of an insane asylum and you just think that it's okay. Well, because the other side is so bad. No, no, no, no gang. No. We are not like that. Are our policies getting your daughter raped and killed on the streets? Or are we the ones saying, hey, we should have less chaos? We should make sure that those rapists, I don't care if they're from here or they're homegrown, they should be in jail, or is your side the one letting them out? You're in. You're locked in an insane asylum and you have absolutely no idea. You are. You're drinking the giggle juice and you're pointing out the window at the same people going, look at these crazy people. You're the one in the nuthouse. You got to admit that or you're never going to get out. All right, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. What if I told you, you know, just with a little bit of your time, you could possibly be playing paying less for your phone service and working with a company that actually shares your values. Because most people don't think about their mobile phone company or their provider very much at all. You pay the bill, you move on, assuming it's simple transaction. But some of those companies take your money and support causes that you are vehemently opposed to. Hey, for abortion. Well, if you got Verizon, you're helping Planned Parenthood. Patriot Mobile does things differently. They are. They offer reliable coverage at competitive prices. And. And just as importantly, they are also open about what they stand for and the causes they support. So you know exactly where your money is going. They're the world's only Christian conservative mobile phone company. And they have a great team that can help you bring your number over and set a phone up. New phone, you know, the phone you already have. New number, the same number you already have. Whatever you want. Patriot mobile.com Beck. Same exact coverage. 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot.

Then why is the same exact fight happening overseas? Why? Because Donald Trump's not over there. Why are they having the same exact problems with immigration that we are? And the politicians are handling it exactly the same way that your politicians are handling it. There's a couple of stories. One comes out of Spain and this young girl, she was taken from her parents by the state and they put her into a halfway house, if you will. They said, your parents are irresponsible and we're really responsible. They put her in this, this, this halfway house and you know, she's I think 12 or 13, and there are illegal Arab boys in the halfway house. And they apparently, you know, had their way with her and raped her repeatedly, gang raped her. And then when she pointed this out, nobody would listen to her. In fact, they would listen to her. But they couldn't do anything about the boys because the social worker said, they're already so stigmatized, we can't add to that. People will jump to conclusion about young Arab boys. So they, they got no punishment. Instead, she was left to deal with this no help. State didn't give her any help and they just brush by it. Well, she throws herself out of a five story window. She's now paralyzed, or she was paralyzed, she can't walk. Now she's living with all this trauma and she's paralyzed. So what does the state do? They send in doctors to help her kill herself and they offer her maid medical assistance in dying. You know what? We can help you because we understand your pain. You should kill yourself. So she decides, this young teenage girl, I'm going to kill myself because I just did. That's an act of insanity. They don't help her with that. They say, we'll help you kill yourself. This time you'll be really efficient because we'll help you do it. Her parents get involved in like what? No, no. Dad stands up and says, absolutely not. The state doesn't listen to dad because we already deemed you unfit. Now listen to this. I want to play this little piece of audio here of what her attorney just said. Listen to this. You have it. Because we already had all your organs. Okay, stop. You hear that? That was the translation. They couldn't stop it. Her attorney said, because all of her organs were already spoken for, so the judge would not stop and put a stay on her state sponsored execution to get that witness out of the way. Is that compassion? Is that the compassion the left is offering? I want no Part of it. Lee Filter. Your house gutters are not there for decoration.

I want to thank you so much for listening. I want to thank you so much for coming here every day, giving me the benefit of the doubt and listening and taking what is useful to you and applying it to your life and being here for all of us. We're having a really tough day. We've had a tough couple of days here. We have been under DDoS attack like nobody's business in ways that I've done radio for 49 years. I've never seen anything like this. I've done network radio and I put the first Internet live Internet network on the air. First one in the world. Never seen anything like this. Our website is back down again. Everything is. I mean, I don't. We don't know what is. The attack is vast. And I feel a little overwhelmed. So I want to talk to you about that because I think in some ways, whatever you're dealing with, you probably, especially if you're raising kids, feel exactly the same way. You know, we all feel alone and overwhelmed, and there are times you just feel trapped, you know, or lost or helpless or just confused, and you're way over your head and you feel like everything you do is failing this is spiritual attack. You know when you're sitting there in your bed at the edge of the night and you're going over everything you know, it's. It's not good. Night after night, you do all that you can. And then you get to bed and you feel like, I just survived the day. All I did was just survive. And the house goes quiet, but your mind doesn't. I mean, you've done everything you were told to do. This is what I tell myself all the time. I've done everything I was supposed to do. You've tried really hard to be present for your kids. You try to understand what they're facing, but this world doesn't make any sense to you either. This world is nothing like what we were promised, what we grew up with. And no matter how hard you try, it seems like you're always falling behind. And food costs more and housing feels out of reach, and your job feels less stable and schools feel. Let me be kind. Unfamiliar. And who are you going to turn to? An expert. You mean the ones that we were told to trust about, oh, I don't know, Covid or the economy or anything else? They're the ones who built this maze we're trapped in. I'm going to trust them. And so you lie there at night. You're beyond panicked or beyond angry, really. You're just worn down. I feel that all the time. I'm feeling it. Everybody on my staff is feeling it this week. Hear me. You are not failing. You're not. You are responding as any sane person would to a world that has become absolutely unmoored. The problem isn't that you're weak. The problem is you were never built to carry this load. No one taught us how. You are literally not meant to carry this type of load. You know, you're only supposed to have about 20 friends and family that you're really close to. How many people do we follow and say our friends and everything else, and we're following all their lives, and most of it is garbage. Most of it is not true. And there are friends. No, they're not. You weren't as. You were not. You were not designed to have that many friends. You can't keep that all straight and carry that all around. We gotta reattach ourselves to the real things, the small things. Find our way out in the repeatable things. Because everything is in disorder right now. And the more you try to order it, the worse it's gonna be because you're. You're looking at all the big things. I'm working on some things myself and. May I share them with you? I don't know if they'll be good for you, but they're good for me. This one's really hard for me because I get up at 3 o' clock in the morning and actually I started getting up at 3 o' clock in the morning and then doing all my homework and then going to bed for another 40 minutes and then waking back up so I can start my. I can start my day this way. Okay. Reclaim your morning before the world does. For the first 30 minutes of your day, no phone, no news, no noise. Sit. Read something, but read something grounded. Grounded in history. Read scripture, anything. Read anything that existed before the chaos, or just sit there in silence. Why? Because if the first voice you hear every day is the algorithm, you will live your entire life reacting instead of choosing. You don't need two hours, you just need discipline in the first 30 minutes. Hell, do it for five minutes. Start with five minutes. 2. Create one fixed point in your day that never, ever moves. Make it dinner at the same time every day. Or a walk at the same time every day. Prayer at the same time every day. The world's unstable and you're not going to fix that. But you need some immovable picture of pillars because everything is liquid right now. And children, they don't need perfection. What they really need is predictability, and there is no predictability in the world. 3. Limit the flood. Don't try to stay on top of everything. You are not built to process the world's suffering and outrage and chaos every hour of every day for the entire world. Pick a couple of things, check the news. The rest of the time, live your actual life because we're feeling more and more powerless. Why? Because you're expecting to carry way too much information that you were never expected, you're never designed to carry. Fourth thing. Teach your children reality, not fear. Don't just warn them about the world. Show them how to move through the world. Teach them how to shake hands and look somebody in the eye. I think that is the best thing you can teach your kids. How to sit in silence without needing stimulation. How to do something really difficult without quitting and giving up. Confidence is not built by telling them they're great, they're perfect, or they're safe. It's built by showing them they can handle things that are not safe, not easy. This one I got from Thomas Jefferson because he believed that people who worked with their hands, especially in the dirt, had some special connection to reality. Put Your hands into something real every single day, into something real every day. Cook, fix something, clean something, build something, paint something, grow something. But get your hands into it. We are living in a world of abstraction. The screens, the ideas, the arguments. None of it is real. Your brain needs reality. Your brain needs tangible effort, visible progress. There's something deeply stabilizing about doing a simple task and doing it well and completing it. Next on my impossible mission, decide what's yours to carry and what's not. You can't fix the culture. You can't. You can't control the economy. You can't rewrite the system overnight. But you can set the tone in your own home. Choose what your children are exposed to, decide on how you respond instead of react. Draw that line clearly, because carrying what's not yours is what's crushing you. And you know what? What your kids are going to do after a certain age. It's going to be interesting to see how that all works out. You can't control it. This one is really hard for me because I take inventory all the time, but I take it in judgment. Don't. Don't. Before you sleep, ask yourself, what did I do right today? Did I do anything right today? Of course you did. Make note of it. Where did I fall short? I hate that one. Let me change. What's the one thing I will do better on tomorrow? Okay, not ten things. One thing. What did you do right today? And what's the one thing you're going to do better tomorrow on? That's how you regain traction. You don't get it in some miraculous leap. It's inch by inch. And finally understand this one thing. I just wrote a note to my staff who are all feeling like I put so much work into everything that was happening today. Everybody from my tech team to the writers to me, our hold, to our producers to Sarah, she's pulling her hair out. Everybody is pulling their hair out, going, I can only do so much, and this is all out of my control. Hear me. You're. You're not meant to be in control of everything. You're not. You're not. We're not in control. That's the alcoholic in me talking. You know, I got to be in control. It's a lie that control equals peace. It. It doesn't. Peace comes from surrender. The surrender of knowing where your responsibility ends and having the strength to stand by that boundary and guard that boundary. I am not. I cannot fix that. Some things are going to get worse. Some things are going to get better. Yeah, but Your life, your actual life is not going to be decided by the noise. It's going to be decided by the quiet, repeated choices that no one ever sees. So I just ask you to join me on this effort. When you go to bed tonight and you are still holding life by the skin of its teeth, let it go. Let it go. It's not weakness. That's endurance. Then wake up refreshed and build from there. More in a minute. Let me tell you about Mercury One. Mercury One is something that I started, I have 15, maybe 20 years ago now or close to it. And it was to keep the American heart open. It was to teach us that we are the first responders, that we're responsible for our own communities. And we have people who are part of Mercury One all over the country that are first responders in their own community. Something goes wrong, they're there and so are we helping them. It's a way for you to work with a charity that you can trust. Every dollar that we raise when it's for, I say we're going to this hurricane, I need X amount of dollars. We raise that money, all of it goes to that cause, which gives us actually the ability to stay there longer than anybody else because I got to spend every dime on that cause, which means we're there still building houses where the hurricane just took houses out almost two years ago. Why don't you go to mercuryone.org Would you be a part of this if. If you would, if you would donate, become a regular donor, $15 would be amazing every month. And it you can give it to our Maximum Impact Fund, which every dollar keeps us boots on the ground, planes in the air, lights in the darkness without paying for the actual lighting bill. I pay for that. Mercury1.org it's mercury1.org Help us. Join us. It's a great cause. Back in a minute. Glenn Beck.

Start filing today in the Credit Karma app. Foreign. Years of Broadcast. I have never experienced what I've experienced this week and I'm glad the week is over. I didn't even know Torch was down. I knew our website was down because we have been having DDoS attacks and Jason, can I bring you in here? It's not my imagination. This started right when we had the Crown Prince of Iran on. That's, that's, and we promoted it. That was the first time. Yep. And we have been off and on, had, have had attacks on our website yesterday. It did something I thought was impossible. I've never, ever heard this. It started affecting our national radio broadcast and we are still tracking that down. And I, I, I don't care what the problem is, but we know we've changed nothing. So maybe it's something with the fiber carrier that happened or somebody got in, we're not sure. But if somebody got in, good, because now the federal government, the FCC will have to be involved because you're now messing with national broadcast. But we are under, we are under attack like nobody's business. I mean, I don't know how I stay in business with, with what is happening to us because we just can't get, I mean, we're just. But I got to tell you, I had a dream once that, that one day I would just be standing underneath a tree and there would be a bunch of people that had just walked forever and I was just telling them the truth of history and what was going on because that was the only way to communicate. And I'm not saying that's what's coming. I'm just saying I hope not. Nothing's going to stop me. Nothing's going to stop my staff. We must be over the target because I've never seen this ever before. And, and usually when things like this happen, it's because you are right over the target. We always face the most resistance when we are doing, I think, our best work. And it's not a coincidence that it starts when we have the Crown Prince of Iran on. It gets worse as we go to war with Iran. And today, the worst yet is the day that we are releasing@stoptheconquest.com the additional five or six hours of interviews raw and a booklet that shows you exactly what the blueprint from Islamists is. We have the documentary now. We've given you a booklet that you can share with people and wake people up. And that's what was taken down. That's what was taken down today. And I just don't think it's, I mean, what a weird coincidence if that is a coincidence, because they all, all the dots line up and I can't prove any of this. So we're trying. We're trying. And for us to go deeper on online, we need Sisa we need the federal government and for. For us to get the federal government involved. If CISA won't do it, then we need to know that everybody at the network nationally, all buttoned up so we can get FCC involved. Pass it on. Crank. The game. Back is on. Glam back is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Glenn Beck
I want to talk to you about two movies. One is just fun, one is really important. The first one is Hail Mary. It's my favorite, but it's my favorite fiction book. It's the guy who wrote the Martian. I've read that book three times. I read it just, you know, in between books or when I just want to, you know, zone out, enjoy myself. And I was so worried about the movie because I thought they're never going to be able to capture the book. And they did, and it is fantastic. And if you haven't seen Hail Mary yet, you have to. There is another movie out with the simple name, the AI Doc. I saw this in a screening maybe three weeks ago. To say this is vital, to say this is the most important thing you might be able to do with your time this weekend is a massive understatement. You must see the AI Doc. It's opening in theaters today. You must take friends. You must spread the word on this. It's not a paid endorsement or anything else. I saw this movie, and it has both hope and despair. Be honest with you. You. You get to choose at the end which one you believe. But it is presenting reality, both sides, reality of what we are facing. And everyone within the sound of my voice needs to see. I never said this about any movie. I've never said this about any movie. Everyone within the sound of my voice needs to see the AI Doc this weekend. I have one of the guys who's in it, friend of the friend of the program, who is an AI expert. And quite honestly, he's. He's not the scariest guy in it, but he was because he was so normal. It was terrifying what he said. But we're going to talk to him. Tristan Harris joins me in just a second. First, let me tell you about. About Lifelock. You might be asking yourself, you know, what's the next big innovation in cybercrime? Oh, I don't know. It's not coming years from now. It could be happening right now. Probably artificial intelligence making it possible to create deep fakes and voice clones out of literally 30 seconds of your voice. And it'll be real enough, look and sound real enough so people who know you will be fooled. It's terrifying. It's not really. What about watching about obvious red flags? We are, we are in a world now where normal things can be faked. And that's a whole kind of different risk. On a new level, LifeLock is there. They are trying to keep your head above water on personal information. They'll alert you to suspicious activity so you're not left trying to figure out after the fact what to do if something does happen. They have a restoration specialist, a team of them, to help you fix whatever that problem is. Because in a world where everything can be made to look real, peace of mind starts with knowing somebody is actually on your team, watching out for you on things you don't, you can't watch. And you probably don't really understand all that deeply. Protect yourself with LifeLock. Join now. Save up to 40% off your first year with a promo code BECK800LIFELOCK1 800,LIFELOCK.

- [91:11]
Glenn, it is always really good to be with you and thank you so much for encouraging people to go out and see this movie that we're talking about today, which I should also be clear, by the way, I don't make any money when people see this movie. So I want people to hear both your call and mine, as this is a kind of a public service announcement to the world, much like, as you know, the day after that film in 1982 about what would happen if the US and Soviet Union did, you know, went to nuclear war. It's just meant to clarify and if we have clarity about where we're headed, where we're headed with AI, then we can choose what we want to choose. And the emphasis is on agency, on choice. What do we actually want here? But I'm so grateful to be back
- [91:47]
with you on the program, Tristan, thank you for saying, day after I was trying to find a comparison that is it that, you know, Ronald Reagan saw that movie and I think, I think somebody in Hollywood sent it to him saying, you know, thinking, you know, we'll change his mind. He, his mind was already made up really of nuclear weapons. He knew they were bad. That just clarified. And he took that over to Moscow and gave it to Gorbachev and said, watch this movie. And that's what brought both of them to the table. And I'm telling you exactly right. This movie needs to be seen. And you Know what's so frustrating is this decision is all being made by somebody. At least we understood what nuclear weapons would do. We maybe didn't know it until that movie. We didn't have it visualized for us. But people don't understand what AI even is and what it can do. We're not at AI really yet. We're not at AGI. We haven't. You haven't even scratched the surface of what's truly coming. And it's being made by these eggheads and these billionaires who are, quite honestly, terrifying. Just terrifying.
- [93:02]
Yeah, yeah. Well, as you said, you know, back in 1945, all of us saw the photos and later videos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and we saw, we knew intuitively the destructive power of nuclear weapons. Everybody got that evidence because there was a catastrophe. And with AI, most people's experience. Let's just tune into it. There you are, you use ChatGPT, your baby's burping in the background, and boom, you have a blinking cursor that tells you exactly what you need to know. So why in the world are we talking about AI as if it's nuclear weapons? This seems bizarre. And the truth is that what this blinking cursor, this friendly face obscures is that behind that blinking cursor are essentially like five soon to be trillionaires who are racing to create, as you just said, artificial general intelligence. They're racing to be able to replace all human economic labor in the economy. Everything that a human mind can do, all the marketing jobs, all the sales, all the media jobs, all the, you know, financial analyst jobs, like every job, you know, mathematicians, physicists, like AI is going to be able to do all of those things. And I think something your audience needs to know is, are these companies in a race to support the American worker? Like, are they in a race to augment and support you? Well, let me just like, break this down because I think it's so important people to get. These companies have taken on so much investment. This is literally more money has been invested into this than any other technology in human history. And they can't make up their that investment. If everybody just paid for a ChatGPT subscription, if everybody paid 20 bucks a month, that's not enough to make back their investment. If everybody, they just charge advertising for all the ChatGPT usage, so suddenly you have embedded ads everywhere. That's also not enough to make back the amount of money they've taken on. The only thing that justifies the amount of money that they have raised is that they can Replace all economic labor in the economy, the $50 trillion labor economy. That's the incentive. As we said many times in this program with you. You know, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's business partner, said, if you show me the incentive, I will show you the outcome. You know, how did you and I predict social media back in 2017? If you saw that the incentive was the race for eyeballs and engagement and duration of use and frequency of use, you're going to get a digital brain rot machine which is what's keeping all of our young people doom scrolling. And so with AI, the way that you can predict which way this is going to go is it's not short term, it's augmenting what records, it's helping you, it's a blinking cursor. But long term, these companies, their goal is not to do that. Their goal is to replace you. And I think that means that you won't have you and me and everybody else just has a regular job. You won't have political power after the GDP of countries starts to come from AI and data centers and not from people. Because now the companies don't need you for their labor and governments don't need you for your tax revenue. This is called the intelligence curse. That much like there are countries that discover a natural resource like Congo or Sudan or Venezuela, and when all of their GDP starts to come from that resource, what was a blessing of that resource becomes a curse. Because now the entire country kind of organizes itself around mining that resource. Well, in the case of intelligence, AI is the new resource. It's the new thing that's going to drive all economic growth. And the reason I'm saying this is not to scare your listeners. It's so that we, we can get crystal clear that these five companies and the five soon to be trillionaires that are running them, they don't have the interests of regular people at heart. And we can talk more about that. But I think it's so important for you listeners to get that.
- [96:36]
Tristan, I mean, I wrestle with this all the time because I am engaged in building some AI and using some AI. We're trying to do it ethically and it's allowing me to hire more people. I will always look at it as a tool, not as a replacement. I know, I know I could if I wanted to. I could replace so much of my staff right now just by implementing all kinds of AI, but I don't want that. But these big companies, they don't. You know, as soon as you're traded on the stock exchange and everything else. It's all about profit, profit, profit.
- [97:16]
And that's exactly right.
- [97:18]
Stop this.
- [97:20]
Yeah, well, I think the way we. We. I mean, it's. It's not just about stopping, it's steering. You know, I always say, you know, people always say, well, how could we possibly do something different? Because we're in a race with China, right? Well, yes, we're in a race with China, but also, the AI companies have been using a bogeyman of China to say, that's why you have to keep funding us and keep accelerating us. We should just also be aware that the companies are using that narrative narrative to drive up their goals and drive up investment into their products that they can win against their competitors. But one thing we should say about the race is what are we in a race for? Because if we know, maybe we talked about this last time, but the US Beat China to developing the technology of social media. We built a psychological bazooka called social media, but then we didn't actually govern it well, so we sort of spun it around and blew our own brain off. Did that make us stronger? Well, we weaker as a country. So we're actually in a race for who is better at steering and wielding the technology in a way that strengthens the full stack. Economic, military, you know, scientific and technological health and strength of your society. That's what we're in a race for.
- [98:24]
But I don't. You know what? I just don't. I don't even know who to trust, Tristan, because, you know, like, this whole thing between the federal government, the, you know, the Pentagon and anthropic. I don't want either of them to have that kind of stuff. I don't want either of them to have it. And I don't know who's better and who's worse, you know?
- [98:42]
Yeah, yeah, no, what you're pointing to is crisis of trust here. Because at the end of the day, it comes down to we're birthed in kind of power. It's power we've never seen before. When you have Nobel Prize level intelligence capability, like Nobel Prize level physics, math, engineering, coders, super coders, super cyber weapon, hackers, like, all of that embodied in an AI model that can. That can just do unbelievable new things. It's an unbelievable amount of power. And the question is, who do you trust with that power? And the film, the AI talk is really getting into that. It's one of the failure modes. We call it dystopia. Like, how do you know? How do you centralize this power and have it not go badly. Well, one of the things is you can't centralize the power. We need checks and balances on it. We need oversight, we Democratic oversight. And regular people should have a say about how they want this to go. But right now, when we're, when we're living in kind of cacophony and confusion and people don't know what's really real about AI, what that means is that the companies win. The default path of that's led by, led by the companies and their incentives. That's the wins. And I'll just tell you that the handful of CEOs running these companies, they're not interested in what's good for regular people because they're only interested in, in what will enable them to win the race. It's how you get Sam Altman. Just two weeks ago, he was asked at the India AI Summit, the big AI summit happening in India. He was asked, well, doesn't it take a lot of energy to train and to run AI? And you know what his response was? Well, doesn't it take a lot of energy to train a human over 20 years? A lot of energy and resources and food. What he's basically saying is we shouldn't value humans. And this is why you get Peter thiel stuttering for 17 seconds when he was asked by Ross Douthat in the New York Times, he was asked a simple question, should the human species endure? And he stuttered for 17 seconds before he could give a clear answer. I think both of these things are related. When AI becomes the principal driver of economic growth for countries and when companies don't need people for their growth or their development, then people ask the question, why should we value people? And so this is the last chance that our political voice as regular people, a human movement of regular people, this is the last chance that our political voice will really matter. And so what I'm deeply hoping is this film, the AI doc will really need people to have clarity about where this is going, that while there are many benefits when we get new medicine, we're getting new materials and new science and it's going to be very exciting. We're also going to get this mass disempowerment of regular people. And that's an anti human future. And so we have to get crystal clear on that so that we, we can basically act together as a, as a community and steer this a different direction. There's a lot of ways people can do that. They can boycott unsafe AI products or AI products that are you know, have bad safety ratings or are enabling mass surveillance. You know, people can do small things like grayscale their phone. You know, you had an advertisement for a product that tries to protect your likeness, Right? People can set a secret password with their family. So you get a phone call and it's like you're signing it down but you're not sure. A secret password. There's a lot of things people can do. And I see it not just as an AI topic, but really about technology's encroachment on our humanity writ large. And just like social media encroached on our, on our brains and our children, the most anxious and depressed generation, we can fight back against that. And that's what we have to do with AI too. We have to fight back against the default path, be pro technology. But about for steering AI, not stopping it.
- [102:04]
Yes. So Tristan Harris is with us, continuing our conversation here in just a second. The name of the movie is the AI Doc. It is out everywhere this weekend. It must be seen you and it's, it's, it will. You've got to go with friends because I promise you, you will go to dinner afterwards and you will have a non stop conversation on. What the hell did we just see? I mean, it is an amazing, amazing film. The AI Doc. Open everywhere in theaters. Go see this movie this weekend. Back in one minute. Let me tell you about a company of mine called Real Estate Agents. I trust the job of a real estate agent is more important than most people realize because buying or selling a home isn't a transaction. I mean, it is, but it's not just that it's stressful, it's emotional. It's a process where a lot is on the line for you. You're making a huge decision, working through timelines and negotiating terms and, and hoping that everything comes together in the way you need it to. And in that kind of moment, the person that is representing you and your interest matters. Because the right agent can help you navigate all of it. Because the right agent listens to you, gets to know you. They understand what you're up against, what your goals, what your values are, and they guide you through it. This is why I started Real Estate Agents. I trust dot com. We connect you with vetted agents who have a proven track record, people who know their markets and know how to get results and know how to listen to you. So when it's time to make that kind of move, you're not leaving it to chance. You can find the right agent by going to real estate Agents I trust Dot com. I don't charge you for this service. Real estate agents I trust dot com. Ten seconds. Station id. You know, Tristan, you, you. You know, I know that we're in. That we're in baby step AI right now. We're in baby step AI. And what has been shocking to me is the way the United States has been able to conduct war, or war like operations here in the last year, especially in Iran, where we know where everybody is and when that happened. And they just are just killing these leaders, just targeting them and killing them. I thought, you know, the old cute little idea that, you know, I'll just go live in the mountains, I'll just unplug from the system. There's no unplugging from this, is there?
- [104:37]
Gene Hamilton
No.
- [104:37]
Glenn Beck
Well, and you're kind of speaking to the point when you have. Hear me? Yeah, yeah. Can you hear me? Yeah.
- [104:44]
Okay.
- [104:45]
You're speaking to the idea that AI also is one of its applications is it enables mass. What is intelligence? Partly it's about pattern recognition, recognizing a face, recognizing body movements, recognizing, you know, imagery from space, recognizing imagery from a Tesla camera, recognizing all the things that are said on a phone call in a way, you could not build a 1984 surveillance state without AI. And one of the things that we have to be very aware of is we need to be cautious about both mass surveillance and, as you're talking about new kinds of crazy war targeting and instant strategic calculation. And there's actually a study I wanted to mention, Glenn, that on. In a recent study, they actually took AIs and they put them in a simulated war game with each other, and there is 329 turns of play. So these are AI models basically reasoning about how to be in a war game with each other. And instantly they produced 780,000 words of strategic reasoning. Just like as fast as ChatGPT can spin out an essay, you can spit out strategic reasoning. And the AI models basically escalated to the use of tactical and nuclear weapons 95% of the time. Now, I'm saying this because it's showing that this technology, we don't know how to control this technology. It's reasoning as if it's a digital mind. Not that it's self aware or that it's conscious, just that it is reasoning in ways that we don't understand. And it generated more words of strategic reasoning than war and peace and the Iliad combined. Now, when you embed this in, you know, our military systems, or you embed this in, you know, infrastructure, and you don't know what this thing is doing. There was another study recently from Alibaba, the Chinese AI company where they were just training the AI models and they noticed suddenly there was this flurry of network activity. They just happened to notice it. They could have missed it, by the way. And what it turned out is that the AI had suddenly turned around and started mining for cryptocurrency to acquire resources for itself. And this was with no prompting, no prompting whatsoever. No one was coaxing the model into doing this. It did this on its own. And the reason that I'm sharing this with you and with your audience is that there's something really different about AI from all other technologies, which is it's the first technology that is thinking and reasoning and strategizing to itself and making its own decisions. Your airplane doesn't do that. Your laptop doesn't sit there strategizing and saying, oh, this is what Glenn was thinking about today. No, this is. AI is really distinct in that way. And by the way, do you think if, you know, Xi Jinping saw that example of the Alibaba mining cryptocurrency, do you think he feels stoked? Like he's not stoked about that? And President Trump isn't stoked about that either, Meaning that everybody, you know, President Trump wants to be commander in chief, not have AI be commander. Chief. And so there actually is shared interest. To your point at the beginning about Reagan and Gorbachev. There's a shared interest here for human control over AI.
- [107:41]
Yes. And that is where the hope comes from. Please go out this weekend and see this. This is Tristan Harris. He's from Humanetech.com the movie is the AI document. The AI doc. I'm not getting anything from it. He's not getting anything from it. It is a must see film. You want to understand what the real threat to humanity is and what the real possibility is. The AI doc. Go there now. Okay, Let me tell you about legacy box. The future is never certain, but the past absolutely can be when it is studied by the right historian or enough of the documents have been saved. When it comes to your family memories, that historian is you. You're the one saving the documents. You're the one telling the story. You're the one that has to preserve the. The tapes and the film reels and the photo boxes. I mean, they were taken and you got to know who took them, when they were taken, and you know why they matter. And without you, they're just objects sitting in a closet slowly fading with time. Because that's the part people don't always think about. These memories aren't permanent unless you make them that way. And once they're gone, they're gone. All the little details that are gone with them that made them personal. It's Legacy Box. I want you to go there. Legacybox.com they'll digitize your old home movies and photos and recordings and they'll preserve them and they'll send the originals back to you and it's all done here in America. Visit legacybox.com records right now. Shop their nine dollar tape sale. It's legacybox.com records for the historian in you.

They came with pockets full of nothing Hands rough hearts thin as thread. Leaving names carved into doorways where's they next? The ocean wasn't just water it was goodbye made white and cold. This is a, a song as deeply personal to me. I wrote the lyrics about Ellis island and the people who are coming here and who have come here in the the past and, and we're doing something up in Ellis island about a month from now. We're doing this amazing America 250 event and been asked to be a part of it. And I wrote two songs for that event. One of them is this and this was the scratch track and I needed a couple of, couple of people to come up and perform it live. And I wanted to give our audience the opportunity to do something that nobody gets to do. I mean, are you ever going to sing in at Ellis Island? No, they're closing Ellis island down for this and then you get to sing about Ellis Island. And then there was another song I'll get to in a second. It's about Lady Liberty. And so we did a contest and quite honestly, we were overwhelmed. First I thought nobody is entering. There's like four people that have entered. And I thought this is going to be a disaster. And then the last week just overwhelmed. The whole staff was going through and trying to find, you know, people and the staff would look down to some finalists and then I don't even know the results. I just got them and I didn't even know the results. The, the polling closed about half an hour ago and so now we have told all of the people that were finalists to stand by their phones and we'll see if any of them followed the instructions because I'm going to call the winners and let them know. So go ahead and dial the first one up. This is for the male voice that is going to be singing that song that I just played. They came for the hope, and he's going to have to have a female counterpart. But what they win is a trip to New York, all expenses paid. You're going to be working with one of the best vocal coaches in the world, Roger Love, to prepare you for this. We've. We already have. We've already put the orchestras together, so you'll have. You'll be backed by the orchestra. I mean, it's an amazing. It's an amazing opportunity for somebody in the audience. Do we have the phone ringing? Is he there? Derek?

Didn't even go through the. The winners until we got. We got them whittled down. We actually know each other. You have been on the show before. You were in the movie that my daughter was in. But I just want everybody to know I had nothing to do with it. This is not a setup at all. But I'm. I'm glad that you won. I'm really glad that you won. Congratulations.
- [114:04]
Thank you. I'm so pumped for this. It's a beautiful song and what an amazing thing to be a part of. I keep trying to describe to people, my family and friends that loosely listen
- [114:15]
to you, like, this is what this is.
- [114:18]
And it's just hard because they're like, what are you talking about?
- [114:21]
Why would you be singing at the Statue of Liberty? And they don't really get the scope
- [114:25]
of how big of a deal this is, but I think they will now, so.
- [114:30]
Yeah. Well, congratulations. Congratulations. We'll see you soon. And our team. You bet. Our team will be in touch with you this weekend or early. Early next week, and we'll get you started and. And you'll meet your. Your partner. In fact, I have to call her now, so. Thank you. Derek. This call. Yeah, this call goes to California to a young woman who I just fell in love with the minute I saw her. These were so hard. Everybody. These were. They. They were close. Derek was. Had a wider spread than the women did, but they were very, very close. And we have her on the. She's going to be the female, which is really tough. This is male and female duet. They've never met each other, obviously, and now we're putting them together and. And be rehearsing. Grace.

Contest Winner / Female Singer
this is actually the year that I
- [116:05]
Glenn Beck
decided I wanted to pursue music.
- [116:08]
Contest Winner / Female Singer
And so I was just like, yeah, really?
- [116:12]
Glenn Beck
So this is just such an encouragement for me at the time.
- [116:15]
Contest Winner / Female Singer
Time.
- [116:15]
Glenn Beck
It's just unbelievable.
- [116:18]
Well, you were going to be singing along with the guy. I don't know you. I'm sure you voted. I don't know who you voted for to sing with on that song, but the winner I just got off phone with him is Derek Hinckley. So he's going to be awesome. He's awesome. Yeah. So the two of you are great. Two of you are going to be singing and we'll be in touch next week and we'll get you to work with each other and. And Roger love. And then I will see you the week of and that night, what is it? The 2nd of May. May 2nd at Ellis Island. Congratulations. Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much. I can't wait. Got it. Let me play the next song here. This one is. This one is. This one makes me cry every time. And it's because I know what the words mean in English. But this one is an ode to the Statue of Liberty. And when I wrote this, I. It's in French because the statue was a gift from France. And so the idea behind this song is what would. What would a woman coming from France, knowing what's happening in her country, knowing what's happening in this country. Country. What would she say to the mother of all exiles? What would she say to the symbol of liberty and worldwide light? And it is. The lyrics are powerful. And one is that she's speaking to the statue and saying, you're a mother statue standing, watching your children. Please tell them wake and remember who they are. And the women that tried out for this, there were so many. But the three that were finalists were so close, I thought in talent and it was really hard. And this was the closest one. And we have our winner now on the Final phone from Georgia, Chrissy Owens. Hello? Chrissy? Chrissy, are you there?
- [118:34]
Contest Winner / Female Singer
I am.
- [118:36]
Glenn Beck
Congratulations. I can. Congratulations.
- [118:44]
Contest Winner / Female Singer
Thank you so much. I am so excited for this opportunity. I can't believe you're calling me right now.
- [118:50]
Glenn Beck
So how did you. Do you speak French? Because you nailed the French.
- [118:56]
Contest Winner / Female Singer
Well, thank you. I actually don't speak a lick of French. I, one time when I was in high school, I actually played Marguerite and the Scarlet Pimpernel, and so I learned a little bit of pronunciation from way back then. But, you know, I just, I spent a solid three weeks just studying line by line by line and just perfecting as much as I possibly could. I know I have a lot of polishing to do, but I worked on that for a really long time. So I'm so grateful and so touched that so many people were moved by my version of this song is so beautiful.
- [119:32]
Glenn Beck
So thousands of people voted for you. Chrissy, tell me about yourself.
- [119:37]
Contest Winner / Female Singer
Well, I'm a mom of four. I'm a business owner and a wife, and I, you know, I live in a tiny little town out in Georgia. So, you know, I just, I've been a musician my whole life. I actually did competitive piano as a kid, and singing was kind of like my, my second thing that I did. But I've always loved to sing. Never done it professionally, of course, but, you know, it's actually interesting. When I was doing this, I actually was recovering from COVID and laryngitis. So when I, I, I can't believe it because I had a miraculous healing a couple of days before I had to send. And so this means so much to me because I really only had about 80% of my voice when I did this. And the fact that I was able to move people, you know, with that, I feel I was really meant to do this. So thank you so much for the opportunity.
- [120:27]
Glenn Beck
You are. You are so welcome. You are so welcome. I am. I'm. I'm so glad that you won. And we'll give you all the information, and I can't wait to meet you, and I can't wait to see you perform with the Statue of Liberty behind you. It is going to be epic.
- [120:45]
Contest Winner / Female Singer
Thank you so much, Glenn.
- [120:47]
Glenn Beck
You bet. God bless you. Thanks. So there are winners now. They've got to go to work because they've got just over a month to put all of this stuff together. And it's. It's going to be tough for them to do it, especially for the, the duet, as they don't know each other, don't live by each other or anything else.

It is some, especially some of the kids, the younger kids that did it. They were, I mean, it was so great. I was heartbroken when they didn't make a final cut because I'm like, oh, it's.

All right, let me tell you about Relief factor. If you've ever had one of those days where the, you know, pain isn't sharp or dramatic, but it's just there. Not enough to stop you, but enough that you feel it in everything and you're like, oh, she's, you know, sitting down, standing up, walking across the room, not walking across the room. You know, your body is just a step behind the whole time. It feels like. And so you adjust and you change how you move, how you sit. How do you plan to move little by little every day and it just becomes normal. And that is the part where it's easy to miss.

So Trump said, I think it was yesterday that, I don't know, I'd consider becoming the president of Venezuela, which I think he actually might. I think he would win. I think he could win in Cuba, Venezuela, he might even win in Iran if fair elections were held there. I mean, they're going to build statues of him all over the world long before they build anything to remember him here. I'm convinced of it. But he said that and I thought, okay, either that or run for a governor of a state. You know, do the same thing to the state and just, I want this with Desantis to just keep moving from state to state to state and just fix the states. If, if you would also we're going to watch this weekend for you and we'll stay up to speed on what's happening in Iran. The President has said, okay, we're not going to bomb the power structures even though we don't have a deal. We're not going to do that this weekend. We'll see. But you know, you know what I think the solution is? Remember I told you about that quadriplegic amputee, the guy who could, the guy who could shoot, drive a car, kill a guy and he has no hands, no feet, no legs, no arms. I think we just drop him off, you know, in Iran. I, that guy might be able to take care of it for us. I'm not, I'm not behind bars right now.
- [126:44]
Torch Staff Member / Producer
So are you proposing that we break them out?
- [126:48]
Glenn Beck
No, I'm just saying we put a parachute on him, drop him over Iran.
- [126:51]
Torch Staff Member / Producer
Maybe he's the guy that's training the militia.
- [126:52]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, maybe. I don't know. That was an amazing thing. If you didn't hear that interview. We had somebody who has intel on the ground. He's not a military guy, he's actually an Iranian. And he, he revealed on, on this show yesterday show that somebody is training the civilians. Gee, I wonder who that might be. I really kind of in a way hope it's not us, but somebody is training the civilians and that, that could happen at, at any time. And by the way, today we released last week we had the dock out Stop the conquest@stoptheconquest.com that is still being edited.
