00:00:30.000 Hey, it's Monday's podcast.

00:00:32.180 Want to know if you used AI over the weekend?

00:00:34.180 If so, what was your experience?

00:00:35.600 And wait until you hear the people responded that actually used AI for their business,

00:00:39.760 and what a change it has made in their business in just a couple of days.

00:00:44.440 Also, talking about the tariffs and the way Trump negotiates.

00:00:49.500 It's really important for you to understand so you can explain it to your friends.

00:00:53.700 Trump doesn't care who gets credit as long as the negotiations work.

00:00:57.680 Reagan was the same guy.

00:01:00.000 It's an evil empire.

00:01:01.660 Shook people to its core, but did it work?

00:01:05.180 That's the question we should be asking about Donald Trump in maybe two years.

00:01:09.840 Is this working?

00:01:11.820 Also, the latest from Al Green and Hank Johnson with Pat joining to talk to us about it.

00:01:17.980 It's so agonizing.

00:01:20.180 All this and more on today's podcast.

00:01:23.160 All right.

00:01:23.720 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:01:25.440 Pain is a battle every day.

00:01:27.320 Millions of hardworking Americans have to fight that battle just to be able to get out of bed.

00:01:31.060 And I can tell you, I've been one of them.

00:01:33.000 I fought the battle daily.

00:01:34.400 And for the most part, I lost.

00:01:37.020 But that's until I found Relief Factor.

00:01:39.440 Actually, I didn't find it.

00:01:40.220 My wife found it.

00:01:40.940 She's smarter than I am.

00:01:42.040 And I don't know.

00:01:43.380 She's just less stubborn. 0.96

00:01:44.820 She's more open to new ideas.

00:01:47.540 Unlike a lot of products out there, Relief Factor is not about masking your pain.

00:01:52.060 It's about eliminating it at the source, which is almost always inflammation.

00:01:56.860 Relief Factor helped me in the battle against pain and get my life back.

00:02:00.980 And it was a miracle for me.

00:02:03.240 It really honestly was.

00:02:04.660 It doesn't work for everybody.

00:02:05.620 But about 70% of the people that order it and try it, they go on to order it again and again month after month.

00:02:11.120 As somebody who has lived through pain, probably not as bad as what's happening in your life, but join me.

00:02:17.920 Will you feel better?

00:02:19.200 If it doesn't work, yes, you're out $20.

00:02:20.720 But if it does, you get your life back.

00:02:23.240 Try Relief Factor.

00:02:24.320 Get their three-week quick start for only $19.95.

00:02:27.080 That's less than a dollar a day.

00:02:29.000 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:02:30.440 That's 1-800, the number 4, RELIEF.

00:02:33.520 Relief Factor.

00:02:44.480 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:48.700 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:50.720 Well, let's say hello to Mr. Stu Bergeer, executive producer on the program.

00:02:56.200 Hello, Stu.

00:02:56.760 Hello, Glenn.

00:02:57.200 How are you?

00:02:57.580 I'm great.

00:02:58.200 How are you?

00:02:58.800 Really well.

00:03:00.080 Everything's going great, and I'm excited about it.

00:03:02.440 Yeah.

00:03:02.880 Right?

00:03:03.340 That's the way to do it.

00:03:04.340 And, you know, these things come up, and you're like, might be interesting to see how it all

00:03:07.800 works out.

00:03:08.360 That's exactly how I feel about everything.

00:03:09.960 Exactly right.

00:03:10.260 Well, hello, Pac Ray, who's wearing a, looks like an official ice jacket.

00:03:17.200 Yeah.

00:03:17.580 And it is.

00:03:18.420 And it is.

00:03:18.740 Of course, because I'm an official ice agent now.

00:03:20.740 Are you really?

00:03:23.260 Unofficially official.

00:03:24.960 Wow.

00:03:25.520 It's that official, but it's unofficial.

00:03:27.360 Yes.

00:03:27.860 Keeping it on the down low.

00:03:28.960 Exactly.

00:03:29.500 They're pretending that you're not.

00:03:31.260 They like to pretend, and they give everybody a little wink.

00:03:34.680 Yeah.

00:03:35.120 Yeah.

00:03:35.460 He can't bring you in, but they know I can.

00:03:37.860 But you're wearing that anyway.

00:03:38.800 But I'm wearing it.

00:03:39.520 Yeah.

00:03:40.060 So that must mean I can't.

00:03:41.420 Right.

00:03:41.860 And so do you see a lot of people run when you walk into stores with that?

00:03:45.180 Almost everybody.

00:03:46.560 Almost everybody.

00:03:47.560 That's weird.

00:03:47.860 Where I live, almost everybody runs.

00:03:49.320 Really?

00:03:49.600 Yeah.

00:03:49.760 Okay.

00:03:50.020 All right.

00:03:50.820 I wanted to bring you in because I heard a couple of takes, a couple of audio pieces on your

00:03:58.420 show today, and I just wanted you to take us through Hank Johnson and Al Green.

00:04:03.520 Yeah, geez.

00:04:04.320 Which one do you want to start with?

00:04:05.980 Oh, man.

00:04:07.080 It's so hard to choose.

00:04:08.260 I know.

00:04:08.800 Let's start with Al Green.

00:04:09.700 Yeah.

00:04:09.980 I was going to suggest.

00:04:10.940 Al Green, he was the guy who stood up last week with a cane.

00:04:15.100 Really?

00:04:15.680 Did anybody else see that and think, oh, my gosh, it's 1853?

00:04:19.380 Yes.

00:04:19.980 Right?

00:04:20.540 Yes.

00:04:21.160 He's standing with a cane. 0.98

00:04:22.080 I'm like, he's going to go up and try to beat Donald Trump to death with a cane.

00:04:25.440 Anyway, here he is claiming that, well, you listen.

00:04:29.860 There is invidious discrimination in the House of Representatives.

00:04:34.460 I'm a son of the segregated South.

00:04:37.180 The rights that the Constitution recognized for me, my friends and neighbors denied.

00:04:43.120 I had to sit in the back of the bus, the balcony of the movie, drink from a colored water fountain,

00:04:48.540 and my relatives who committed some crimes were locked up in the bottom of the jail.

00:04:52.480 I know what invidious discrimination looks like.

00:04:56.460 The Klan burned a cross in my yard.

00:04:58.960 I know what it smells like.

00:05:00.920 I was in filthy waiting rooms, and I've been in places where I didn't want to be,

00:05:06.300 and I know what it sounds like.

00:05:07.360 I've been called all kinds of ugly names.

00:05:09.040 So I know invidious discrimination.

00:05:10.560 And when the speaker decided that I would be removed, and then there was this motion,

00:05:19.160 this resolution to censor me, it became obvious to me that I was not being treated as others were.

00:05:26.600 It's invidious.

00:05:27.080 And candidly speaking, it is invidious discrimination.

00:05:30.700 I told you.

00:05:31.920 It is invidious discrimination.

00:05:33.140 I'm not sure I've ever heard the word invidious.

00:05:34.960 Yeah, I hadn't until now.

00:05:36.520 But it is an actual word.

00:05:38.000 Is it?

00:05:38.320 And what does it mean?

00:05:40.460 Likely to arouse or incur resentment or anger in others.

00:05:44.520 Exactly.

00:05:45.080 Okay.

00:05:45.520 That's what it means.

00:05:46.060 Well, it's good.

00:05:46.600 We learned something.

00:05:47.220 And he used it well.

00:05:48.000 Yeah, he used it well.

00:05:48.900 Like five times.

00:05:49.700 And when we were talking about Al Green, I was worried when the definition started with

00:05:53.540 likely to arouse.

00:05:54.960 But it did come around to an actual word.

00:05:57.080 So he's saying that just because he's black when he stood waving a cane at the president

00:06:04.360 during the speech. 0.90

00:06:05.900 And yelling and screaming during his speech.

00:06:08.160 Because that's not happened before.

00:06:11.120 The closest we could find is Joe Wilson saying, you lie.

00:06:15.760 And everybody did it once.

00:06:17.060 He did it once.

00:06:17.960 And that was it.

00:06:19.140 And then everybody apologized for it.

00:06:20.600 And he was censored the next day.

00:06:22.960 But he stood up with a cane.

00:06:24.680 Yeah.

00:06:25.180 Yeah.

00:06:25.420 And would not sit back down either. 0.98

00:06:27.620 It's because he was black. 0.99

00:06:28.360 Yeah. 0.95

00:06:28.580 It's invidious discrimination.

00:06:29.900 Okay.

00:06:30.260 All right.

00:06:30.660 Good.

00:06:31.060 All right.

00:06:31.880 Now, Hank Johnson.

00:06:33.600 Yeah.

00:06:34.020 Okay.

00:06:34.300 He was brilliant.

00:06:35.000 And you might remember him from worrying about Guam tipping over and capsizing.

00:06:41.020 Yeah.

00:06:41.260 Yeah.

00:06:41.560 Capsizing.

00:06:42.060 So the guy is a thinker.

00:06:44.240 Only if we put all of the Marines on one side of the island, then it would capsize.

00:06:49.900 Right.

00:06:50.560 Because we'd have-

00:06:51.340 He wasn't just randomly saying the island would capsize.

00:06:53.660 Because he was saying if we moved too many troops to one side of it, it would-

00:06:56.360 10,000.

00:06:57.120 He said if there are 10,000 troops were put there, of course, that's going to tip it over.

00:07:01.060 Of course.

00:07:01.140 Who hasn't?

00:07:02.120 They leave out the context of it.

00:07:03.760 I know. 1.00

00:07:03.860 They want to make them look stupid. 1.00

00:07:04.820 We want to be fair. 1.00

00:07:05.800 Right.

00:07:06.020 We want to be fair.

00:07:07.600 It's invidious.

00:07:08.540 That's what that is.

00:07:09.220 It's invidious.

00:07:09.460 Yeah.

00:07:09.800 Let's go to Cut 12.

00:07:11.520 Here is Hank Johnson.

00:07:12.800 All of the ways in which they can kill public education from defunding it from a federal

00:07:20.220 level and then also enabling state monies and local monies to flow into the private for-profit

00:07:29.900 school setup that is going, that is ongoing.

00:07:35.360 It's a recipe to make education unavailable to black people. 1.00

00:07:42.200 And where does that then leave us?

00:07:43.960 It puts us back to when America was great and we were picking cotton and-

00:07:51.980 No, America was not great back then.

00:07:53.120 Doing the productivity that they are putting my Latino brothers and sisters who- 0.95

00:07:59.680 This is great.

00:08:00.340 Migrate here to do that work because we are not suited intellectually to do it anymore. 0.92

00:08:06.940 Wait, why?

00:08:07.540 But they would have us back, confined to doing that kind of work.

00:08:11.880 That was invidious.

00:08:12.560 We got to watch out for where we are headed and it's the people that will save our democracy

00:08:20.960 that will stop this movement towards the past that Trump has us-

00:08:26.900 Can we stop for just a second?

00:08:27.920 I just have a couple of questions here, Pat. 0.90

00:08:30.960 So, did he just say that blacks were no longer intellectually suited for field work?

00:08:37.660 Yeah, I'm not sure if he's talking about blacks or Americans in general, but yeah, we're intellectually 0.98

00:08:42.680 not suited for it.

00:08:44.080 So, meaning we're above that work?

00:08:45.860 Above that, I guess.

00:08:47.060 But Hispanics are. 1.00

00:08:48.600 Yeah, but Hispanics are, they're not above doing that. 1.00

00:08:51.980 They're suited.

00:08:52.620 I guess they're intellectually suited for it.

00:08:54.440 Yeah, I mean, there's a difference between I'm above that, which is absolutely wrong.

00:09:00.340 And I'm not intellectually suited for that work, but you are.

00:09:06.860 What the hell does that even mean?

00:09:08.940 Would that be racism, would you say?

00:09:10.560 I think it's invidious racism.

00:09:12.460 Invidious.

00:09:13.100 Invidious.

00:09:13.640 Oh, no.

00:09:14.080 Likely to arouse?

00:09:15.240 Yes.

00:09:15.620 Okay.

00:09:15.920 Okay.

00:09:16.160 Not really.

00:09:18.220 I'm sorry.

00:09:18.680 I left the second part of that definition off.

00:09:20.620 Yeah, right.

00:09:20.640 Okay.

00:09:20.940 Wow.

00:09:21.860 So then he also says that it's Trump's plan to close the Department of Education to keep

00:09:30.400 people from being educated.

00:09:32.060 But if I could be wrong, help me out with the facts.

00:09:36.440 I think since the Department of Education was put into place, our test scores have gone

00:09:43.320 way down.

00:09:45.180 And so like, not just black kids, like no kids graduate now with more than like a third 0.70

00:09:52.320 grade reading level.

00:09:54.160 Um, that's what's putting people in chains.

00:09:57.480 I don't, I don't know if he understands that, but the entire system as it's built and everyone

00:10:03.220 should be aware of this.

00:10:04.380 You know, they keep saying what's going to happen to our schools.

00:10:06.920 What's going to happen to what has happened to our schools.

00:10:10.920 Right?

00:10:11.400 Yeah.

00:10:11.980 President Trump's talked about that pretty extensively that we're 40th among industrialized nations.

00:10:17.760 We spend by far the most amount of money.

00:10:21.140 We're number one.

00:10:21.420 We're number one in spending and we're 40th in education.

00:10:26.720 So there's a problem there.

00:10:29.140 Yeah.

00:10:29.600 There's a big, big problem there.

00:10:31.740 And part of it, honestly, I mean, when will, you know, anybody who was, who is stuck in

00:10:38.380 1965 is not going to get this.

00:10:40.560 They're not going to get this because they're stuck in 1965 and they don't see that the

00:10:44.600 world has dramatically changed.

00:10:45.880 And they still look at people like Johnson, one of the biggest racists of, of my lifetime

00:10:52.600 as a president, they don't see him as doing anything but good.

00:10:57.340 Right. 0.74

00:10:57.940 I, I truly believe whether he knew it or not, what he did completely destroyed black families, 0.99

00:11:06.180 black children, enslaved them. 1.00

00:11:08.100 And until we understand that, if you look at the timeline, you see that proven out over 0.93

00:11:14.220 and over and over again in almost every way.

00:11:17.180 Yep.

00:11:18.080 And I mean, when are people, we have got to stop looking at the government as wanting

00:11:26.260 to do good.

00:11:27.640 Maybe they did at some time.

00:11:30.900 I don't know.

00:11:32.460 Um, our founders would have said, no, it never does that.

00:11:35.520 It never does that because people are in charge.

00:11:38.020 Um, so you, you always look at it as a hostile entity.

00:11:41.840 That's why you keep it under wraps, but let's just say they wanted to go do good.

00:11:46.120 Okay.

00:11:46.520 Everybody in the, in the government wants to do good, but they're not.

00:11:51.940 Okay.

00:11:52.560 They're not.

00:11:53.700 So for us to say, let's just keep going down this path is an act of insanity.

00:12:00.760 All we do is throw more money.

00:12:03.700 It grow the government, which is not working by any measurement.

00:12:08.120 It's not working.

00:12:10.320 Everybody's so upset about, oh my gosh, we shut down USAID.

00:12:14.300 First of all, USAID is a CIA operation.

00:12:20.260 It is, it was designed to look like aid, but it's a CIA op.

00:12:28.320 That's what it is.

00:12:30.040 So first of all, you got to learn that man, learn that.

00:12:33.840 Second of all, even if, even if it was, you know, for aid, can anybody tell me why we should

00:12:46.220 spend maybe 20 cents on every dollar that goes there?

00:12:50.580 And I'm being generous.

00:12:51.780 Maybe 20 cents of those dollars actually goes to help people.

00:12:56.320 The rest of it is all about control and manipulation of other people's countries. 0.74

00:13:02.520 And what's left is graft and just incompetence and loss.

00:13:08.860 Why would we do that?

00:13:11.660 Why are we focusing on that?

00:13:13.360 Maybe 20 cents instead of the 80 cents.

00:13:17.040 You know, if, if we were losing 20 cents on every dollar, I'd still be pissed, but we're

00:13:23.580 not, we're getting 20 cents of what is, what we really think we're getting and 80 cents

00:13:30.680 to bad stuff.

00:13:33.120 Why, why, why, why, how do you defend that?

00:13:36.640 You can't, not if you're reasonable, not if you're a common sense American, you can't.

00:13:41.760 Unless you say government always means to do well.

00:13:44.980 And gosh, we're just, but we're trying.

00:13:47.440 Right.

00:13:47.900 But when have they proven that to be true recently?

00:13:52.800 And if we listen to you, everyone in Guam would be in the ocean right now.

00:13:56.960 That's, that's, there's that.

00:13:58.680 You're right.

00:13:59.300 You're right.

00:13:59.560 There is that.

00:14:00.140 You're right.

00:14:00.560 You're right.

00:14:01.000 Thank you very much.

00:14:02.320 I, I just want everybody in Guam to.

00:14:05.640 There is a quiet, but incredibly powerful victory waiting out there.

00:14:13.200 And it's, it's not going to come with big fanfare or the waving of flags or anything

00:14:18.160 else.

00:14:18.440 It'll be a note in the ledger of your financial life that is printed in bolded capital letters.

00:14:24.540 High interest debt can be bent to your will.

00:14:28.160 You can move beyond it to a life that's freer, happier, and more fiscally responsible for

00:14:34.640 the future.

00:14:35.780 American financing sees this kind of thing every day because American financing makes

00:14:40.720 it happen every single day.

00:14:42.180 And they meet with Americans just like you who are like, I'm in debt.

00:14:45.060 I don't know how I, I mean, I do know how I got here.

00:14:47.300 I couldn't afford food.

00:14:49.540 So I had to put it on my credit card.

00:14:51.720 They've seen this forever and they can help you.

00:14:54.560 Give American financing a call right now.

00:14:56.740 You might be surprised at what options you didn't even know you had from mortgage refis

00:15:01.040 to accessing the high equity that you might have in your home to pay off the high interest

00:15:06.060 debt.

00:15:06.300 American financing could be saving you hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as a thousand

00:15:11.160 American financing, 800-906-2440, Americanfinancing.net, 800-906-2440.

00:15:17.360 Now back to the podcast.

00:15:19.220 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:24.080 Several top officials, including the highest ranking legal officer at ActBlue, have reportedly

00:15:31.200 jumped ship in recent weeks, while those who remain are allegedly stuck dealing with a

00:15:36.920 culture of volatility and toxicity.

00:15:40.760 In a letter to ActBlue's board of directors obtained by the New York Times, unions representing

00:15:46.340 the group's workers identified seven officials who recently quit and stressed the alarming pattern

00:15:52.060 of high-level exits.

00:15:54.340 Senior staff departures reportedly began on February 21st, two weeks after the organization

00:15:59.500 reportedly provided congressional investigators with an update regarding ActBlue's security,

00:16:05.280 their fraud prevention measures, and related procedures.

00:16:10.540 ActBlue, we have known, is, I believe, appears to be a money laundering system for the left.

00:16:19.580 Uh, and there's a lot of money going through there.

00:16:23.840 I don't know if any, if Doge is going to find any connections to ActBlue, but I wouldn't be

00:16:29.540 surprised.

00:16:30.220 Why are all these people leaving?

00:16:32.080 Uh, because they know this game is over.

00:16:34.720 And that's why people are freaking out in Washington.

00:16:38.180 They are freaking out in Washington because they know the game is over.

00:16:42.980 Now, there are those people that are in the government that believe that they're doing

00:16:49.100 the patriotic thing because they believe they know better than you, the people who elect

00:16:55.020 presidents, or the president himself.

00:16:57.480 You would not want this if it was your guy in office, right?

00:17:02.380 Why wouldn't you want it?

00:17:03.760 Why wouldn't you want a bunch of, let's say, Republicans that are in the deep state that 0.96

00:17:10.000 didn't give a flying crap what Joe Biden said and wasn't executing his plan? 0.96

00:17:16.640 Why wouldn't you like that? 0.99

00:17:18.440 You wouldn't like that because that's not what the people voted for.

00:17:22.900 The people voted for the president, not for these unelected bureaucrats that are faceless, 0.71

00:17:29.700 nameless, and have complete control, apparently, over your country and your life.

00:17:35.480 No, you wouldn't like it.

00:17:38.380 And I talked to some people this weekend that are very upset about Zelensky and how the president

00:17:42.860 treated Zelensky.

00:17:43.900 You've got to watch the entire thing.

00:17:46.740 People who are watching the clip to when the vice president steps in and says, hold on here.

00:17:52.040 That's where people start.

00:17:53.860 That's not the beginning.

00:17:54.820 There's 20 minutes prior to that where Donald Trump and J.D.

00:18:00.040 Vance were trying to disarm Zelensky, trying to get him to, hey, hey, hey, hey, not appropriate

00:18:05.660 here.

00:18:06.160 Stop.

00:18:06.940 But it took him 20 minutes before J.D.

00:18:09.080 Vance finally just snapped and said, stop it.

00:18:13.400 So you have to inform yourself and not just the clips.

00:18:17.880 I am I'm a little uncomfortable by the way the tariffs are going with Canada and Mexico.

00:18:26.480 Not so much Mexico, but definitely Canada. 0.98

00:18:29.300 Mexico is just a I'm sorry, but it's just an absolute corrupt country.

00:18:33.660 And they've got to get control of those cartels.

00:18:36.520 And we have to get control of those cartels as well and make sure we're not doing business

00:18:42.220 with any of the cartels, which I'm not convinced we're not.

00:18:44.880 But Canada is one of these countries.

00:18:48.060 Come on.

00:18:49.260 It's Canada.

00:18:50.440 It's Canada.

00:18:50.980 We've always liked Canada.

00:18:52.200 Canada's always liked us.

00:18:53.840 OK.

00:18:55.740 There is a one point two trillion dollars online with our trade relationship.

00:19:02.100 OK.

00:19:02.740 And everybody's saying, oh, my gosh, this will have a ripple effect.

00:19:06.020 It's going to just cost everybody.

00:19:07.680 And you know what?

00:19:08.400 It might.

00:19:09.200 It might.

00:19:09.800 I don't know.

00:19:10.620 It might.

00:19:11.020 But on the surface, it is really tempting to see what everything that Donald Trump is

00:19:16.880 doing as chaos.

00:19:19.300 He's just swinging everybody and he's hitting our friends and he's hitting our supposed friends.

00:19:27.100 And he's just taking out everybody.

00:19:29.040 But that's not really what's going on.

00:19:30.940 And I want you to understand this so you can share this to your friends or your family who

00:19:36.000 maybe are freaking out.

00:19:37.440 What are they?

00:19:37.980 We're pissing off Canada.

00:19:39.220 I know I don't like it either.

00:19:40.920 I don't like it.

00:19:41.920 But it's not chaos.

00:19:43.500 It is a strategy.

00:19:45.200 And you are dealing with the best negotiator America has ever had in office.

00:19:53.360 Ever.

00:19:54.840 And this is the strategy that people in America elected Trump to execute.

00:20:00.780 Now, maybe your friend didn't or your family didn't because they didn't vote for him.

00:20:04.380 OK.

00:20:04.580 But the majority of people did.

00:20:07.560 OK.

00:20:07.740 By electoral college and the popular vote and the county swung by 20 points to the red.

00:20:17.440 So this is a mandate.

00:20:19.880 It is a movement.

00:20:21.140 And it's not like other presidents that are like, you know, I'm I'm going to be just like

00:20:27.660 you when I get in.

00:20:28.500 I'm going to fight for everything you're saying you're going to fight for because I'm just

00:20:31.720 like you.

00:20:32.280 And boy, that thing that I don't even address ever.

00:20:35.060 But I just love what you're saying there.

00:20:37.620 I got your back.

00:20:38.700 And then they go in and they don't have your back.

00:20:40.720 That's not what happened this time.

00:20:42.240 First of all, people didn't vote for Donald Trump like they voted for Joe Biden.

00:20:49.700 Joe Biden, they voted for because it wasn't Trump.

00:20:53.140 OK.

00:20:53.860 That's not what happened this time around.

00:20:56.420 When you vote for somebody who's not the other guy.

00:20:59.500 Well, what is it you're getting?

00:21:01.140 In that case, you got I'm going to make your boy a girl. 1.00

00:21:04.560 Nobody was for that.

00:21:05.740 Nobody voted for that.

00:21:07.200 Maybe extremists.

00:21:08.400 But we didn't even know that was even coming our way until what?

00:21:13.600 Six months or eight months into the presidency and then all of a sudden DEI, ESG, all of

00:21:18.660 this stuff was a big story.

00:21:20.820 Most people didn't vote for that.

00:21:23.120 They did vote for changing the direction of America.

00:21:27.360 They were tired of corruption.

00:21:30.160 They're tired of bureaucrats telling them how to live their life where they didn't get to

00:21:35.580 vote on it.

00:21:37.280 They're tired of being screwed by other countries. 0.82

00:21:42.940 We just want a fair and balanced playing field.

00:21:46.840 I don't like tariffs.

00:21:48.120 I do like reciprocal tariffs.

00:21:51.140 You put a tax on our milk, we'll put a tax on your milk.

00:21:54.680 You don't want a tax on your milk, then don't put a tax and we won't tax you either.

00:21:59.380 I like that.

00:22:01.320 But that's what we're playing now is people just think we're going to take out Canada.

00:22:08.600 I want you to think of this differently with your friends.

00:22:11.360 And maybe your friends won't like this example, but it's true. 0.96

00:22:14.660 When Ronald Reagan stood up, it was, I think it was in March of 83.

00:22:21.980 And he's just gotten in and he's standing, I think it was at a breakfast or something.

00:22:27.220 And he stood up and he said, and Russia, the Soviet Union is an evil empire.

00:22:32.440 And everybody went, oh my gosh, he just had an evil empire.

00:22:36.040 That's so scary.

00:22:37.860 And everybody, even people who liked him were like, don't say that, they'll nuke us.

00:22:43.280 And he's like, no, you're never going to beat them.

00:22:45.280 We cannot do, now listen to this, we cannot continue to play the game the same way we've

00:22:51.760 been playing it for 50 years because it's not getting us anywhere.

00:22:55.660 In fact, it might be hurting us.

00:22:58.740 We know with all of our foreign policy that we've done, getting us into endless wars, spending

00:23:04.300 all kinds of money, racking up a debt of $35 trillion, not knowing what the truth is because

00:23:13.440 the government's no longer transparent.

00:23:16.680 None of that works.

00:23:18.560 None of that works.

00:23:19.400 And that's what Donald Trump was saying.

00:23:22.700 And that's what people voted for, a change.

00:23:25.500 I think that's what people actually voted for when it came to Barack Obama, because all

00:23:31.080 of this transparency, everything was opaque under George W. Bush.

00:23:35.560 You were like, wait, what are we doing there?

00:23:37.080 Why is it?

00:23:38.460 I don't want necessarily these never-ending wars.

00:23:41.000 And now I've got people checking my underpants at the airport.

00:23:44.380 What are we doing?

00:23:45.000 That's why they wanted change, transparency.

00:23:49.680 They wanted change.

00:23:51.440 But he never defined the change.

00:23:55.380 Donald Trump was very clear.

00:23:58.900 Anybody who didn't know that massive tariffs were coming, they just weren't paying attention.

00:24:04.660 Okay.

00:24:05.660 When Reagan did it, it wasn't a slip of the tongue.

00:24:08.360 It was deliberate.

00:24:10.020 It was a public shot across the bow.

00:24:12.580 Now, he did it in public because he wanted to change the world.

00:24:19.120 And while everybody else was going, oh, my gosh, and critics, Democrats, everybody, he's

00:24:23.840 going to, it's going to be catastrophic.

00:24:25.840 He's going to get us nuked by Friday.

00:24:28.520 All the squirrels will be dead.

00:24:30.180 What are squirrels going to be?

00:24:31.380 What?

00:24:33.060 Reagan wasn't playing for the applause. 0.89

00:24:37.180 He was playing to win.

00:24:39.260 Reagan, his words were backed by a military buildup and unrelenting pressure, and it forced the Soviets to confront their own fragility.

00:24:50.860 They couldn't do it.

00:24:52.140 By 1989, remember, it was 1983 when he said evil empire, and we were at equal terms in the world.

00:25:03.000 We were both world superpowers that could annihilate the other one at the drop of a hat.

00:25:09.340 That was 1983, evil empire.

00:25:11.700 By 1989, the Berlin Wall was rubble. 0.98

00:25:17.960 All because Reagan had the balls to say it and then not blink. 1.00

00:25:23.740 Now, we could have been vaporized, yes, but if you want to change the world, you're going to have, I have this saying that somebody gave to me a long time ago, and I live my life by it. 0.98

00:25:39.200 Risk big, win big.

00:25:41.560 Risk big, lose big.

00:25:43.340 Just know the odds before you put your money down on the table.

00:25:47.080 That's why I don't like Vegas.

00:25:48.640 Yes, I know the odds are not in my favor.

00:25:51.940 So, yes, I could risk big, but I probably will lose big because the odds are not in my favor.

00:26:00.960 When it comes to Ronald Reagan's Soviet empire, he had a plan, and so the odds, he knew, were in our favor.

00:26:10.600 The same thing with Donald Trump.

00:26:13.580 We can't afford a trade war, but neither can they.

00:26:18.640 So, let's all play nice with one another, shall we?

00:26:24.320 This is the same kind of leadership that Ronald Reagan had.

00:26:28.320 We elected Donald Trump to fight, to take on a global trade system, to take on the deficit and the spending.

00:26:38.780 We can't fire all these people.

00:26:40.680 It's causing all kinds of chaos.

00:26:42.720 Wait, are you okay?

00:26:43.960 Honestly, are you okay with a good portion of our money raised in taxes going to pay for salaries and benefits the way it is?

00:26:55.480 We have six million plus employees.

00:26:58.460 For what?

00:27:00.920 For what?

00:27:01.800 When you see how corrupt it is, why?

00:27:05.180 Can't we return some of that power?

00:27:07.320 Well, you can't cut the Department of Education.

00:27:09.300 Why not?

00:27:09.740 He pledged he was going to.

00:27:11.260 He told everyone on the campaign trail he's going to.

00:27:14.760 And then when he tries, everybody says, we've got to preserve the.

00:27:19.720 Why?

00:27:20.120 It doesn't work.

00:27:21.640 Show me the evidence that it works.

00:27:23.920 Well, you're going to just leave all of the poor children out to educationally starve.

00:27:29.040 They're starving to death right now.

00:27:32.580 They can't read.

00:27:34.880 When you don't teach children to read, they become slaves to whomever can read.

00:27:42.260 How is that compassion?

00:27:45.640 How is that good?

00:27:47.420 How is that something you want to preserve?

00:27:50.600 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:27:57.780 All right.

00:28:02.400 I'm going to tell you about the Department of Homeland Security here in just a second.

00:28:06.220 But I want to talk to you about AI a little bit more today.

00:28:10.680 We're just going to spend a few minutes on this, but I think we should spend a few minutes on this every day because I think people are waking up.

00:28:17.840 It's just starting to become reality to the people who are paying attention and the people who are paying attention now are going to be the ones that are the most likely to survive the first round of cuts.

00:28:32.400 Hopefully, you will see how to ethically use it because if you just use this to replicate your job, I know I've got hours and hours every day I spend on a show prep.

00:28:52.100 But I've been using AI to help look for sources on things.

00:28:56.960 And I mean sources like that I would never find.

00:28:59.880 What does the GAO say about this?

00:29:02.340 I'm not looking at the New York Times or anybody else.

00:29:04.640 It's like I've taken and I have a big staff that does research every day and it allows me to look at things that would take us forever to look at and to digest and we can digest it quickly.

00:29:20.120 Then I can give it to my research team and say, just check on that.

00:29:23.240 It says page 437 paragraph 14 says this.

00:29:27.580 Can you just make sure that that's exactly what it says and means if you're using this to take your work and well, let me say it this way.

00:29:38.940 Using AI is like adding 10 people to your job.

00:29:43.540 You no longer have to do the grunt work.

00:29:46.120 It allows you to be a thinker.

00:29:49.560 So you just need to get it to do all of the grunt work for you so you don't have to think about all that stuff.

00:29:56.700 You put it in so it can make what you do so much better.

00:30:01.680 If you're using it just to do your job, okay, you might be done earlier in the day.

00:30:08.120 My day has gotten much longer now using AI, but I am further ahead on a whole bunch of stuff.

00:30:17.980 And if you use it just to copy what you do, then you're replaceable.

00:30:23.200 You're absolutely replaceable because you're the driver, you're the artist, you're the one who has the unique piece of humanity that it doesn't have.

00:30:35.080 You can put things together that it won't.

00:30:39.060 And so use it as a tool to say, if I had a staff of 10, if I had a staff of 100, what could I get done?

00:30:49.580 How could I make myself the most valuable employee right now?

00:30:54.480 It's not just coming in with the best report that Grok wrote.

00:30:58.900 That would be bad because do you know about how did you what what does all of this mean?

00:31:03.920 It's a way for you to not only knock it out of the park with whatever you're doing right now, make what you do better.

00:31:13.440 But then it's also about adding other things to your job.

00:31:18.340 So you make yourself the most valuable person in the building.

00:31:22.700 OK, every job is going to be my job is going to be it.

00:31:27.740 There's going to come a time where I don't think real people will.

00:31:32.100 I mean, I think.

00:31:34.200 Real people will become a thing again, like handmade, but I think that there's going to be a time by 2030 where a lot of the podcasts right now.

00:31:44.020 I will bet you that some of the tweets that you read from people that, you know, it might be a generated and then somebody else that, you know, and respect their bot is responding to that tweet.

00:32:00.680 And so it's the battle of the bots.

00:32:02.400 That's totally happening right now.

00:32:03.620 Totally.

00:32:04.020 I don't know.

00:32:04.720 I don't know.

00:32:05.340 I don't have any evidence of anybody doing it, but I can guarantee you that's happening. 1.00

00:32:09.540 We're still where it's automated.

00:32:10.420 We're still at the point to where you can kind of maybe detect it.

00:32:16.280 I don't know how long that's going to last.

00:32:17.800 As you point out, it's advancing so quickly.

00:32:19.860 But like you could still kind of feel it.

00:32:22.180 I feel when I when I read the stuff, you know, when I when I read social media, I was telling somebody this weekend, it's like I I've always disliked social media.

00:32:29.680 But I'm getting to the point now with it where I there's no value to it.

00:32:33.140 What to me whatsoever, because I can't even tell if these people are saying these things.

00:32:37.000 I feel like half the stuff I'm reading is just AI, a bunch of AI bots.

00:32:40.420 We're talking to each other.

00:32:41.080 What value do I get out of that?

00:32:42.500 I have access to AI.

00:32:43.380 I could just ask AI if I want that.

00:32:45.320 Exactly right.

00:32:46.460 And that's I don't know where that ends.

00:32:48.420 Hopefully it means the entire world of social media collapses and we act as if it was a horrible archive of history.

00:32:56.120 But that being said, I don't know where that goes because I feel you feel disconnected.

00:33:01.200 You're just like, well, why do I care what what an AI bot says about an AI written story from some crappy media source while both of the people commenting are out drinking together at some bar?

00:33:14.400 And those are the people who are those people that are afraid I'm going to lose my job because of, you know, because of AI.

00:33:21.300 Yeah.

00:33:21.700 If you're out drinking and you're working half a day because it's doing it, believe me, at some point, an unscrupulous boss is going to go.

00:33:30.660 Why am I paying all these people now?

00:33:32.360 A smart boss will say, why am I paying all these people?

00:33:35.280 I'm going to go pay the same amount of money to somebody who actually will take and do this and make it much better and add more value because they see that this can be used as a rocket ship and we can create 10 times the value of what we're providing.

00:33:54.320 That's what I'm excited about.

00:33:55.560 I'm seeing the possibilities of us being able to do the things that we've always done at a much higher level, a much more even buttoned up scale than we already are, because there comes a time even with us that we'll leave things off the, you know, we'll put it on the edit floor because we're like, I'm not sure if that's true and we haven't had time.

00:34:19.980 Well, in time, that's where AI can help us go out and search and make sure that this is absolutely true.

00:34:29.500 And it might be impossible for us to find, but soon it won't be for AI.

00:34:34.080 It will find it.

00:34:36.440 But, you know, there's all kinds of things to talk about.

00:34:38.880 I just want you to try it and just be playing with it, not in a, please don't use unhinged.

00:34:45.840 Don't make it your friend.

00:34:47.480 Don't make it your sex partner.

00:34:49.280 Don't do that.

00:34:50.780 Don't ever, ever blur the lines.

00:34:53.020 It is a tool.

00:34:54.580 Charles, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:57.360 Yeah.

00:34:58.000 How are you doing, Glenn?

00:34:59.020 Good.

00:34:59.220 How are you?

00:35:00.800 I'm doing quite well.

00:35:02.120 God bless you all.

00:35:03.120 And I just wanted to say, I thank you for connecting me with Labor of Love and Susan Selim.

00:35:08.740 And that was 20 years ago.

00:35:10.900 It really created my spiritual growth.

00:35:15.100 So that's so great.

00:35:16.260 And I eternally thank you for that.

00:35:18.420 Anyway, on the case of AI, played with it a lot over the weekend on Grok.

00:35:23.680 And you're right.

00:35:24.580 For the research elements, it's fantastic.

00:35:27.060 Yes.

00:35:27.200 I had some charts made up for Balanced Scorecard.

00:35:31.760 I wrote a book on that several years ago.

00:35:34.040 And that's in my wheelhouse of technology and business.

00:35:37.840 And, yeah, creating various charts and things like that.

00:35:42.360 Fantastic.

00:35:42.840 Doing the deep dive on research, really good.

00:35:45.680 Yeah.

00:35:46.100 But I've had a book idea, you know, more of a novel.

00:35:49.840 And I always struggle with dialogue.

00:35:51.940 So I said, hey, let's see if it'll create the book that I had.

00:35:55.140 So I input the parameters.

00:35:57.160 And initially, it was fantastic.

00:35:59.820 It's a historical fiction.

00:36:03.060 And it incorporated the historical elements I was going for and created the dialogue and the emotional pull.

00:36:10.600 You could update it and ask it to enhance the emotion or expand on the chapter that I was working on.

00:36:17.220 But at some point, it just seems to get overwhelmed by, yeah, it falls apart and it just goes off the rails.

00:36:26.460 Yeah.

00:36:26.860 And I've had to restart it like three times.

00:36:29.280 Yeah.

00:36:30.020 Yeah.

00:36:30.500 Charles, good observation.

00:36:33.520 It can't continue going down the same road for very long because it doesn't have a memory.

00:36:39.460 It's memory is so limited because it's supposed to remember everything on the Internet or at least have access to all of it.

00:36:49.120 And so it just generalizes everything.

00:36:52.220 And so it can't write a book.

00:36:54.840 It can't write.

00:36:57.720 It just can't write.

00:36:59.180 We've been working on things and, you know, some members of my staff are like, well, that I mean, would that put me out of a job?

00:37:06.080 No, that wouldn't put you out of a job because it can't do it.

00:37:09.280 It can't do it.

00:37:11.540 It can't continue a storyline.

00:37:14.160 It all falls apart on you.

00:37:16.560 Maybe someday.

00:37:18.300 But I still believe that people are going to be instrumental because it takes the germ of an idea.

00:37:25.460 If you look at this and like it's going to complete my work, it's going to write my book for me. 0.99

00:37:29.440 You're crazy. 0.99

00:37:30.560 And that's kind of evil. 0.99

00:37:32.140 But if you say, for instance, Stu has known this because he's written books with me.

00:37:39.540 Stu, when you get my rough draft of a book, how long would those books be?

00:37:44.620 Oh, gosh, at least three times the amount of words that they're supposed to be.

00:37:47.900 Right.

00:37:48.180 OK, I just I'm verbose when it comes to writing.

00:37:52.460 And the biggest job is can you edit this down?

00:37:56.780 Yes.

00:37:57.080 OK, that it can do that.

00:37:59.740 It can do.

00:38:00.300 It can take my writing and cut it by two thirds and just keep the best parts.

00:38:06.220 But it can't write a book for you.

00:38:08.120 It's not going to.

00:38:09.020 And nor would you know, nor would you want to.

00:38:11.540 It doesn't matter if it's good, but it can.

00:38:15.400 It's capable of doing it.

00:38:17.060 And I'm sure that's what a lot of people are doing, honestly, at this point.

00:38:19.560 But again, there's no value in that, like there's no value in in this, these things churning out books for people.

00:38:28.740 Like there's nothing that there's no value in that.

00:38:30.780 Obviously, you go to an author because you're looking for their perspective.

00:38:33.620 And yes, they can tell Grok what their perspective is.

00:38:37.040 But like not it's not it's not it's not the same.

00:38:39.700 And I don't think it ever will be the same because it because of the way it uses memory, it the way it uses memory, it will never be able to hold it until everybody stops at, you know, at the X or, you know, Google.

00:38:55.360 I don't think they'll ever do this until they open up that memory.

00:38:59.240 But they're using all that memory for machine learning to get to a SI.

00:39:03.960 So you're only getting just a fraction of what is available to them.

00:39:09.680 But they're using all of that memory to be able to churn to produce something else.

00:39:15.720 And I honestly, if you have a SI, if they get a SI, I really don't think we're going to get it.

00:39:21.220 I think they will.

00:39:22.440 But we won't.

00:39:23.700 You know, I mean, which bothers me a great deal.

00:39:26.100 Yeah, I do feel like that is just an artificial line, though, right?

00:39:29.620 I mean, it is until it's an artificial line that they need to hold because everybody knows it's an existential threat to their business.

00:39:36.680 Microsoft knows if X gets it first, Microsoft is out of business.

00:39:41.300 This should tell you something about your job.

00:39:44.760 Microsoft, X and Google.

00:39:49.500 If you talk to people who at all use AI.

00:39:53.740 You ask them, when's the last time you used Google?

00:39:56.660 You don't.

00:39:59.280 Because it's so, it's almost like using, what was it, Ask Jeeves.

00:40:04.300 In comparison, it's like Ask Jeeves.

00:40:08.160 They're going to put, somebody's going to put these gigantic corporations out.

00:40:15.720 If they're that freaked out, you shouldn't be freaked out.

00:40:20.180 You should learn it.

00:40:21.240 Because the first thing that happens is jobs are lost.

00:40:25.260 So how can I use this to keep my job and to be the most productive and thoughtful and useful human brain on the staff?

00:40:38.260 Na, na, na, na, na.

00:40:40.540 Toronto.

00:40:41.640 There's another great city that starts with a T.

00:40:44.840 Tampa, Florida.
