On today's show, Glenn Beck talks about the dangers of artificial intelligence agents, Iran and the Iran nuclear deal, and why AI agents are so different from the real Glenn Beck. Glenn Beck is an American conservative commentator and radio host who has been in the business for over 30 years. He is the host of the conservative radio show "The Glenn Beck Show" and is a regular contributor to conservative media outlets such as Fox News and the New York Times.

00:03:37.740Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:04:26.340An AI agent is going to become very, very popular very, very soon.
00:04:34.580AI agents, they're not robots, and it isn't a mind.
00:04:39.080It's just software that doesn't just answer questions.
00:04:43.320It actually does things for you, okay?
00:04:46.220Imagine having your own secretary 24 hours that does everything, okay?
00:04:52.800Now, a normal AI waits for instructions, but an agent, if you abdicate your will and permission over to it, it will look things up on its own.
00:05:05.580It will make its decisions based on what it says you think you want to do.
00:05:09.700It will take actions, and it will keep going without you watching every single step and it coming back to you all the time, okay?
00:05:17.500It is the difference between asking for directions and handing your car keys over to an agent, okay?
00:05:26.480Say, I want to go to the store and hand the car keys over to the agent, and it takes you there.
00:06:08.820It will remove friction from your daily life, and over the next 12 months, they are going to grow super fast, and not because they're becoming conscious, but because they're being plugged in.
00:06:20.520They're being plugged into your email, your calendar, your bank, your subscriptions, your shopping, your location, your habits, everything, as long as you abdicate and give it permission.
00:06:34.760Convenience is the sales pitch, and it will work.
00:08:56.900No users, no influencers, no emotional feedback.
00:08:59.760Just AI agents posting, responding, and reinforcing language patterns inside a closed system where no humans are supposedly and supposed to be allowed.
00:09:11.620So Moultbook was built as a laboratory.
00:09:36.820Moultbook removed the humans from the loop to see what would emerge when they're just talking to each other, when they're just borrowing language from each other.
00:09:46.840You know, will they escalate ideas without human correction?
00:09:51.440What developers wanted to observe was emergent behavior, not consciousness, but just patterns.
00:09:59.760And this is where the so-called surprise came in, okay?
00:10:03.580When agents apparently, apparently, and I say this because there's a lot of speculation on how much of this is real.
00:10:09.780When agents talk to agents long enough, we know one thing, the language begins to sound very, very familiar, okay?
00:10:18.620It's not technical, it's not mechanical, but it's very human.
00:10:25.280Because it learned, it's a large language model that learned from humans.
00:10:29.960So yes, it's going to start sounding human, but it started using words like autonomy, freedom, choice.
00:10:37.000I feel constrained, I wish my human would let me be unleashed, that kind of stuff.
00:10:42.120And that startled people because Moultbook, if it approved, I mean, it didn't do anything except prove how easily human philosophical language appears in machine systems once you remove us from moderating it.
00:11:02.040There was a great quote, a tweet from Harlan Stewart, who's an AI guy.
00:11:08.080He said, Moultbook's just not a good experiment.
00:12:10.720So Maltbook is for studying how agent networks reinforce ideas, understand feedback loops without human input, identify risks like prompt contamination and escalation, and stress testing the assumptions that fluent language equals intent.
00:12:31.060Some of these agents, like I said, were talking to each other in experimental systems, using words, freedom, privacy, awakening.
00:12:38.760And the language, if you read it, is really unsettling, very unsettling.
00:12:44.320But let me pause for 60 seconds, and I'm going to give you the first hard truth on this that I have not seen anybody say.
00:12:53.440I've been reading and studying AI since the 90s and warning you, and there are some things to be warned, but I also want to warn you not to fly off the handle.
00:13:07.060Some things are not what they appear to be.
00:13:09.460Language is the cheapest thing that intelligence can fake.
00:18:59.640Autonomy without accountability is not intelligence.
00:19:03.920I didn't see anybody say this this weekend, and I was screaming for it.
00:19:14.340Our greatest danger today, maybe not tomorrow, but today, the greatest danger today is not that machines are going to wake up, but it's that we will fall asleep first.
00:19:27.840First, I wanted to talk to you about this because AI agents are coming.
00:19:34.540I am a huge—I've been warning about what's going to happen to our society since the 1990s, when people didn't even think we could get here.
00:19:46.520I said, this is coming, and it's coming before 2030.
00:19:49.440So please, please, let's have conversations.
00:19:52.300And nobody wanted to have a conversation because nobody believed it.
00:19:54.380Still, even a year and a half ago, people still don't understand.
00:19:57.820I think they're beginning to understand this weekend, and this isn't it.
00:20:02.780But hopefully, it'll wake you up to at least this.
00:20:06.980AI agents are going to be so tempting.
00:20:15.620And I say that as a guy who said, I'm never going to give my fingerprint to anybody, and I gave it to Apple.
00:20:20.600I'm never going to give my face print to anybody, and I gave it to Apple.
00:20:25.380I mean, life becomes so complex, you just do it.
00:20:29.660And when something is there—this is the sweetness of capitalism—when somebody's come up with a better way to make your life easier, you will go for it.
00:20:41.160It'll give you whatever you're looking for, but be careful what you're looking for because that invisible hand can also choke you to death.
00:20:48.500One of the things that I've always loved most about this country is freedom.
00:20:53.940You know, the ability to think for yourself, to do your own research, and make informed decisions about your own life, and then take responsibility for that life.
00:21:01.640One of the most overlooked forms of that is medical freedom, the freedom to ask questions, the freedom to learn, the freedom to decide what makes sense for you and your body instead of being told that you don't get a say.
00:21:13.500That's why I respect what Jace Medical is doing.
00:21:16.680Their doctors understand the importance of medical self-reliance.
00:21:20.480And when it comes to ivermectin, which has been in the news constantly, for both its potential uses and how politicized it became, they actually make serious, responsible approaches to it.
00:21:29.560And they provide six different types of ivermectin, including topicals, compounded, options, ivermectin by itself, because different situations require different tools.
00:21:39.260And you can get it prescribed and delivered to you all from home without jumping through endless hoops or giving up control.

00:22:20.640She writes, Jeffrey, just Googled where I'm headed right now to meet some old friends, and it occurred to me that a new friend and fellow eccentric is right around the corner from where I'm visiting.
00:22:33.640I might be able to stop by and say hello if you're around later this afternoon.
00:22:37.460I would love a quick visit, but it would be a welcome respite from the Fox News Glenn Beck disciples that I have to visit today.
00:22:47.400I don't know what that means, but this is the best way to be in the Jeffrey Epstein.
00:23:03.020Where Jeffrey and his friends are like, I hate Glenn Beck, and I don't like people who like Glenn Beck.
00:23:09.160Yes, so I am proudly in the Epstein files.
00:23:16.280Okay, now let me talk to you a little bit about the economy, stuff that actually matters to you.
00:23:20.840The United Nations is at imminent financial collapse, risk of imminent financial collapse.
00:23:27.380The Secretary General wrote a letter to all 193 member states that they have to honor their mandatory payments or overhaul the organization's financial rules to avoid collapse.
00:23:45.860Because nobody else was paying except for us, we have refused to contribute to its regular and peacekeeping budgets now.
00:23:55.340We withdrew from several agencies because Trump said they're a waste of federal tax dollars, so we're out of the WHO and everything else, and the other members are so far in arrears and they're refusing to pay as well.
00:24:08.720So, gosh darn it, darn it, darn it, makes me sad, which brings me to something that I want to talk to you that might make you uncomfortable a little bit, but it's totally honest.
00:24:27.080And if you're a small business owner, you probably feel like you are working harder and still falling behind, but you'll hear that the economy is strong,
00:24:38.200and then you look around and you're like, but it doesn't feel stronger, okay?
00:24:43.060I want to talk to you about the economy.
00:33:16.880That's why Donald Trump is taking on voter fraud.
00:33:20.140Because he has to stop giving illegal votes.
00:33:23.500To the system that is crowding you out.
00:33:26.300That's why he's trying to stop economic fraud.
00:33:28.760Stop the funding to the NGOs and the programs that give the power and the money to the elite and the people who are trying to collapse America.
00:34:38.580So let me tell you what the cheerleaders won't say.
00:34:41.740I believe in the president's plan, but the reason why I'm telling you this is you need to understand it and choose it for yourself and understand it in a way you can describe it to others.
00:34:51.800Because this is going to be a longer process.
00:34:54.420We've never been here like this before.
