On today's show, the true story of how the Grinch stole Christmas, and what the future of jobs in an AI-driven world looks like. Plus, the Council on American-Islamic Relations exposes the fraud within the Muslim community.
00:02:44.000You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:02:45.880We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:02:52.200We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:02:57.020But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:02:59.560Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck Podcast?
00:03:02.920Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:03:27.940You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:40.320So, we are just talking about how jobs and AI, that that's the bubble that everybody should be talking about, not the AI bubble.
00:03:47.980Everybody should be talking about the jobs bubble.
00:03:49.780And I think in some ways, everybody in America is.
00:03:53.600I mean, why, honestly, why would you go to college?
00:04:00.860I mean, anybody who is sending their kids to college, unless it's for something very specific or you just want, you know, your kid to find themselves and to, you know, whatever that is.
00:04:31.500I don't know how long that's going to last, maybe 10 or 15 years, but that will last longer than let's say truck driver.
00:04:36.960That'll last a lot longer than attorney, uh, you know, physician's assistant.
00:04:42.840Well, maybe a physician's assistant, a PA probably will last a while.
00:04:47.520Nursing will last a while, but the doctors, I mean, it's your, it's, you don't need as many as your, as we have right now in the future because it'll be able to be done.
00:08:44.900But I do think that like, it's, it's interesting because I think you're right.
00:08:49.440I think a lot of these jobs are going to go away.
00:08:51.240In fact, they're already signs of this, you know, I mean, to the extent of, you know, the back and forth about, you know, tariffs and all this other stuff.
00:09:00.100We've seen a decline in manufacturing jobs in this country this year, a decline.
00:09:06.720Like, and I don't think that's because, you know, tariffs, you know, are shutting down manufacturing any more than they would have previously.
00:09:15.320You know, there's arguments about that.
00:09:17.120But I think more than anything else, people are just taking these jobs offline and automating them.
00:09:23.080All these big companies are replacing thousands of jobs.
00:09:25.980These, these announcements are in the news every day.
00:09:29.040And, you know, it's, it's going to be tough to, to figure out what the next thing is.
00:09:33.560I think you're right, like plumbing and, and, and, you know, electricians and all of these things are going to be very valuable, particularly in the short to medium term.
00:09:41.640But, you know, it's tough to message that to a kid.
00:09:44.720Hey, like, just find this job that you don't really like and just do it because it's the only job that exists.
00:09:49.480It's not exactly an inspiring message.
00:09:52.140So let me ask you a question, because maybe, maybe it's just me because of what I do, but I don't think it is.
00:09:58.320You know, I married into the, the idea of AI.
00:10:05.760I mean, you know, I've been talking about this since the 1990s and I have been wrestling with this because it is a nuclear weapon in the hands of every single person.
00:10:14.780It's the most dangerous thing man has ever created and the greatest thing man has ever created.
00:10:20.760And so you have to really be careful with it and you have to know how to use it.
00:10:24.060Um, but you know, I told, who was it, Sarah?
00:10:28.340I think I told you yesterday, I said, I am, I mean, I cried a Kleenex commercial, so, you know, this doesn't mean anything, but I, I've gotten emotional using it recently because there has been stuff inside of me since I was 10 things, dreams, ideas that I've always wanted to do.
00:10:48.580And I'm now being able to not only do those things, but do those things in a way that would have cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:11:04.440And I'm realizing now on, as I'm scratching the surface, I'm learning more about history right now because I can grab the resources so fast.
00:11:16.680I can look into stuff and go, well, that doesn't seem right.
00:11:21.160What is the difference between doing that?
00:11:23.400As long as you are using your, you're directing it and you're using it and checking the sources, et cetera, et cetera.
00:11:31.740Um, what's that, what's the difference between that and almost like a book that was written for all of the questions you have.
00:11:38.900And because it, all it's doing is it's taking what you have inside of you and following that and mining for things that will make that stronger.
00:11:52.020I've, I've learned so much history in the last year.
00:11:54.840I've learned so much about, uh, not just technology, but, uh, but by, about my own nature on how I work, what I believe is right, what I believe is wrong.
00:12:09.580I mean, I've had this explosion because I'm using AI every day and I don't understand why that's not considered like a university in its own way.
00:12:19.900Can I, can I, can I give you, so you have a perspective of that through as a creative and you're like, this is, I thinking of the amazing things you can do with it.
00:12:27.720Can I give you the perspective of like my son's generation or at least him and his friends, this is how, this is what they're thinking.
00:12:33.400While this sucks, the economy is so screwed.
00:12:36.220I will never be able to own anything my entire life.
00:12:40.200Now, this is what they're telling us being from my son's perspective, but everyone's telling us, don't worry about it.
00:12:45.800We're going to build, build, build, and we're betting everything on AI.
00:12:53.060Oh, how many jobs are going to be destroyed?
00:12:55.180So I can't do that one thing that I wanted to do because of AI.
00:12:59.400So the solution to why I can't ever take part of the American dream is what's going to eventually take the job that I want to get so that I can someday get the American.
00:13:10.120They're in that circle and they're like, I'm screwed.
00:13:13.440And then you look at people like Elon Musk that says, don't worry about it because automation, I'm going to be building all these robots.
00:13:18.480It's going to completely solve world hunger.
00:13:20.640Wait a minute, but I won't have a job.
00:15:23.760But we're the ones whose lives are going to be affected.
00:15:29.100You know, I've been thinking about all of the things that I'm going to be able to do and present and be able to teach and show and and change the way people learn things.
00:15:39.180I'm going to be able to do so much, but then again, in two years or three years from now, I don't know if that's even going to be unique.
00:16:54.220And I think, too, you know, there's a there's an element of this looks really appealing, I think, to the top of the food chain, you know, because there's a lot of things like what the typical pipeline issues you have and cost issues go away.
00:23:35.860We're going to hit you in so many different ways.
00:23:38.620Um, to, I want to, my goal is to hit all five senses to be able to, you know, however, whatever your learning skill is, we're going to hit you there.
00:23:49.540Um, and it's not going to happen right away, but man, we're so excited for the launch of, uh, of the torch.
00:24:25.900One thing we're going to be doing, and I can't give you any of the details, but let me just tell you.
00:24:31.520An incredible event from Ellis Island.
00:24:39.240And, uh, that's going to be, that's just going to be loads of fun, loads of fun.
00:24:44.380Um, so, you know, in between all of that, I'm, I'm, I'm trying to stay, uh, you know, abreast of all of the news and everything that's going on.
00:24:55.360But I have to tell you, I mean, is it just me who is kind of like, okay, I just, I want to coast into Christmas right now.
00:25:01.880I mean, I'm not my job, but I mean, I, I just kind of, Oh, I like this time of year because it just gives you a chance to reconnect with everything that is important and family.
00:25:13.580And I'm trying to do presents that aren't real, you know, present-y, you know, not go out and spend a lot of money, but just do something, do something that is meaningful for everybody.
00:25:25.360Everybody I want to give a gift to, you know, uh, yesterday, it was yesterday, the day before I was watching the Grinch stole Christmas and, you know, it was never one of my favorites as a kid.
00:33:42.760So let me go over what is, what's happening with, with care.
00:33:48.600You know, the, the founding fathers, uh, were obsessed over accountability because they knew one thing, you know, they didn't, they didn't get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets.
00:34:02.740They studied every single system of government, every single republic that survived, that didn't survive.
00:34:16.100They were trying to come up with something that could, could set people free.
00:34:24.060And they, they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place because they knew once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored for law, what rises is not a republic.
00:34:55.140There've been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping into investigations, uh, to watch club, uh, watchdog groups.
00:35:01.940One of them is NCRI and the intelligent advocacy network.
00:35:06.160And they have concluded now that the political arm of care known as care action has been operating nationwide with no legal authority to do the things that has been doing for years.
00:35:21.760Now they're not allowed to raise money.
00:35:24.260They've been raising money, coordinating political campaigns, not allowed to do it.
00:35:30.740Mobilizing voters, shaping policy fights, functioning as a national advocacy network.
00:35:35.080They don't have the legal authority to do any of it.
00:35:38.680And no one has said anything now, according to the report care action, doesn't just have a paperwork problem.
00:35:48.100Uh, investigators found state by state that it lacks the license, the registrations, the charitable authorizations required to legally solicit money, excuse me, or conduct political activity in any of the 22 states in which it operates.
00:36:31.18022 states, they operate, not one, zero legal authorization.
00:36:37.100In Washington, D.C., the city where care action is incorporated, the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection told investigators they have no record of care action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.
00:36:56.000Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial?
00:37:00.720How long would you remain in business if you never had a business license?
00:37:07.240You think somebody would figure that out in a sooner time than, I don't know, a couple of decades?
00:37:13.100This report means that the organization, if true, is engaging in unlicensed interstate solicitation.
00:37:25.320It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation, wire fraud, and false statements to the IRS.
00:37:32.700These are big things, and this is not political rhetoric.
00:37:37.780These are phrases written in black and white, in the law, and by investigators.
00:37:44.100In California, one of care's most active hubs, the state attorney general, has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here.
00:37:55.400The state of California, the state of California, the state of California, the attorney general is saying, yep, that's what's happening here.
00:38:02.480Care action has never registered with California's charitable registry, never filed the required CT1 form, and has no authorization whatsoever to request donations, but they've been doing it in California anyway.
00:38:18.440Fundraising, selling memberships, issuing endorsements, mobilizing voters, all of it been done by care action.
00:38:26.940There's no record of any license, any permission ever going to care from California.
00:38:33.560That's according to their attorney general.
00:38:44.500It's also happening in the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West.
00:38:48.440Every state hosting its own care action fundraising page, complete with the Donate Now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate.
00:39:06.540Because care action presents itself openly as the political arm of care national, investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity could become care national's responsibility as well.
00:39:22.300So, in other words, the parent care itself might be held responsible, meaning this is not just a rogue subdivision.
00:39:33.980This could implicate the entire national organization of care.
00:39:45.700Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny.
00:39:49.900It's also Texas, and I think Florida, have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization.
00:39:56.020Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations.
00:40:05.360I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.
00:41:27.280Can the United States tolerate an influence machine that operates outside of the legal framework designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?
00:41:42.360If I hear one more time talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated, fine, investigate them.
00:42:17.160Muslim Americans that are full citizens, they have every right to speak, every right to vote, every right to organize, participate in public life.
00:42:27.480They can disagree with me all they want.
00:42:30.600But no organization, none, not mine, not yours, not theirs, none, should operate a nationwide political network in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow.
00:42:48.500That's called a fourth branch of government.
00:43:47.160If conservatives, if Catholics, pro Israel, environmental Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does care action.
00:43:58.180And if care action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists and Catholic and pro Israel and conservative groups.
00:44:19.040If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.
00:44:28.180Americans deserve to know what exactly who's influencing our elections, who's shaping our policy, who's raising money in their state, especially if the organization claims political authority that it doesn't legally possess.
00:44:45.060Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson.
00:44:48.600When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum, because power abhors a vacuum.
00:45:04.460Unregulated political power abhors a free people.
00:45:08.860So, while it's about care, it's not about Muslim Americans.
00:45:17.460As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.
00:45:22.960One standard for everyone or no standard at all.
00:45:27.820And that, more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.
