Transcript
00:00:00.000
When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.
00:00:06.240
It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,
00:00:10.360
and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.
00:00:15.680
And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,
00:00:20.400
our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.
00:00:25.660
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.
00:00:32.360
You should hear the whole show if you have time,
00:00:34.360
because I talk about the greatest American generation
00:00:36.520
and why I believe Generation Alpha is the rebirth of that generation,
00:00:47.080
so if you're going into the weekend and you're thinking about watching it,
00:00:53.120
But there's some things that I point out that you really need to watch for,
00:01:06.260
and he's talking about Alexander Dugan, Russia, Iran,
00:01:21.080
But he talks about the deal between Russia and Iran
00:01:26.160
and the possibility that we're living in the end of days
00:01:52.440
And I'm like, oh, my gosh, that's worth knowing.
00:02:05.020
And every year we all go through exactly the same exercise.
00:02:08.300
We try to find a gift for dad, even though most dads spend their whole lives, you know,
00:02:13.180
The best gifts aren't usually the flashiest ones.
00:02:15.660
They're the things that a man reaches for time and time again, over and over.
00:02:18.680
The things that become part of his daily life because they're well-made.
00:02:21.700
They're comfortable, and they're built to last.
00:02:24.200
That's why I think American Giant makes so much sense for Father's Day.
00:02:27.200
They make premium hoodies, great T-shirts, sweatshirts, everyday essentials made right here in the United States.
00:02:35.420
Their clothes are cut and sewn here, and the people making them are American workers who still believe in doing the job the right way.
00:02:41.760
The result is clothing that feels great the first time that you put it on, and it keeps feeling great years later.

Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies,
00:03:03.540
the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work
00:03:08.540
tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight
00:03:13.820
going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:03:19.260
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through
00:03:23.780
Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast.
00:03:29.400
This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing,
00:03:34.180
you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share.
00:03:52.120
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:56.760
So I want to talk to you about the problem with our society and the opportunity for our society.
00:04:02.000
You know, what is the one thing you hate the most about what's happening in our society?
0.97
00:04:07.320
i despise the fact that everybody is a whiner there was like oh it's so hard i'm never gonna
00:04:14.020
make it and i know i sound like the old guy get off my lawn i know i get it but hear me out for
0.66
00:04:21.340
a second every trouble that i've ever had in my life every trouble everything that my father i
00:04:29.360
mean he was so wise my father you know taught me you sit around and whine about it or you make the
00:04:34.820
adjustments you need to make, and then find a way to learn from that, and grow from that, and use
00:04:41.280
that, okay? I think that's the secret of life. You can either let life crush you, or you can allow it
00:04:50.960
to motivate you, and go, you know what? No, no, no, I'm getting back up again. I'm not staying down.
00:04:55.900
Nobody, nobody can put their thumb and keep me down, and when you have that, it's really hard,
00:05:02.040
especially when you're young but once you start doing it once you really start you have to do it
00:05:08.160
smartly you can't just be a bully about it um but once you really figure this out everything can
00:05:14.560
change everything can change and I want to show you why this hardship that everybody's going
00:05:19.860
through is good it doesn't mean look I remember I was absolutely flat broke I was divorced I was
00:05:27.620
a recovering alcoholic, barely holding on. Nobody wanted to work with me. You name it,
00:05:35.520
I had screwed it up in my life, okay? And I would never want to go back to those days. However,
00:05:43.280
in retrospect, that's the biggest growth I ever had. Those days are what changed me and made me
00:05:51.300
into the man I am today. Without those days, I don't know who I'd be, but I wouldn't be sitting
00:05:56.240
here with you so let me let me prove this out with science okay 1968 a scientist uh get uh comes
00:06:05.220
out and he's decided he's going to make utopia not for people but for mice and rats okay his name was
00:06:13.780
john calhoun he worked at the national institute of mental health and he wanted to answer the
00:06:18.580
question that I think should interest all of us. What happens with a society when every problem
00:06:28.120
is removed, when everything becomes easy? I can't imagine why that's relevant today in America.
00:06:37.260
Everybody has it so easy and we're all complaining, oh, it's so hard. Oh my gosh,
00:06:42.660
go somewhere else in the world and look okay sorry he just became the old man yelling at the
00:06:49.000
sky again um so he builds this paradise it's a a mouse world unlimited food water that never
00:06:58.820
runs out no predators no disease perfect temperature endless nesting material every
00:07:05.320
danger every want every stressor that a mouse has ever faced in the history of mice completely gone
00:07:11.040
the only thing he gives them besides protection was each other and time now he called his last
00:07:19.620
experiment universe 25 and the number matters because it was the 25th time he had built one
00:07:25.340
of these little gardens of ease and edens for mice and rats okay and it ended the same way
00:07:31.260
first 24 already told him where the story goes but he thought i'm gonna try it one more time
00:07:37.240
he drops in eight mice, four males, four females.
00:07:44.660
They breed, the population doubled about every 55 days.
00:07:52.840
It was heaven, and it was working exactly as designed.
00:08:02.060
there were more than 600 mice thriving in a space
00:08:27.560
And in all 25 experiments, exactly the same thing.
00:08:33.300
This is a thing that none of the researchers counted on.
00:08:47.240
And a creature with no role, no struggle, no purpose starts to come apart.
00:08:53.060
The males who had nothing to fight for either turned violent or vanished into apathy.
00:09:00.600
what's happening in our society right now the males the young males that have nothing to fight
00:09:09.600
for they either are turning violent or apathetic then you have the moms the mothers stop mothering
00:09:19.920
they abandoned their young they began attacking their young they forgot about their children
00:09:26.180
the whole intricate social order that made a mouse a mouse completely dissolved in 25 identical
00:09:35.420
experiments 25 times it happens at the same time then came the most haunting part of the
00:09:42.600
experiment experiment i think there's a new kind of mouse that appears this mouse didn't fight
00:09:50.380
they didn't court they didn't mate they didn't uh compete they wouldn't engage with others at all
00:09:59.420
they they ate they slept they groomed themselves endlessly perfectly i mean their coats were sleek
00:10:07.020
and flawless they were unscarred because they'd never been in a single struggle before and they
00:10:12.040
started paying attention to what they look like and grooming themselves by every outward measure
00:10:18.700
they were the healthiest, best-looking mice in the universe.
00:10:22.920
Calhoun, in the experiment, after 25 times of this happening,
00:10:29.300
He called them the beautiful ones, but as he also noted,
00:10:35.180
They were alive, they were fed, they were immaculate
00:10:45.460
Population, this thing is built, I think it's said,
00:10:48.100
for 4,000, population peaks at 2,200, barely half of what the space could hold. And then
00:10:56.060
the population begins to decline. May I ask what's happening with our birth rate? What
00:11:02.160
is happening with our population? On day 600, in a world still overflowing with food, the
00:11:12.140
last baby is born. Day 600. After that, nothing. Not one more mouse. Not ever. And on day 920,
00:11:23.500
the last of the mice dies in paradise. And universe 25 becomes the 25th tomb. And in that tomb,
00:13:05.700
Because the internet has turned us into something
00:13:30.820
The place was half empty when the rot set in.
1.00
00:13:34.920
You can't draw a straight clean line from a rodent pen to a human civilization.
00:13:40.540
But you strip away every argument and one fact still sits there and just will not move.
00:13:47.620
The mice didn't die because they ran out of something.
00:13:58.180
every stressor lovingly removed it was a the ultimate safe space and it killed them
00:14:08.220
take away the struggle and it turns out you've taken away the very thing that was actually
00:14:15.820
holding them together you know we are always we're always our best in struggle you know something
0.99
00:14:22.240
happens, Pearl Harbor, we come together and we kick somebody's ass. 9-11 happens. And to quote
0.99
00:14:28.980
Toby Keith, we'll put a boot up your ass. When something bad happens, a tornado or a hurricane
0.99
00:14:37.740
or an earthquake happens, and we rush together to help, that's who we are. And we can't look away
00:14:47.480
from that. We also can't look away that society is trying to take and make us the most comfortable
00:14:56.320
people to have ever drawn breath, and that's not necessarily good. We have engineered away
00:15:01.960
more friction and risk than any other human in history, and it is a genuine triumph. It is. I'm
00:15:09.860
not romanticizing hunger or hardship. Those are real evils worth fighting, but the experiment
00:15:16.860
whispers a warning only a fool would ignore. Comfort is not the same thing as flourishing.
0.94
00:15:24.880
A life with nothing left to overcome is not a paradise. It is a slow and beautiful surrender
00:15:31.520
eventually to death. Notice which societies on earth are the safest, richest, most frictionless
00:15:39.340
ever built. And notice that those are the exact societies quietly deciding not to have
00:15:46.640
a next generation the mice in abundance stop making mice
00:15:52.480
but here's where the story for me changes and stops becoming prophecy and becomes a choice
00:16:01.120
because there is one thing those mice could never do that you can do today
00:16:07.000
a mouse can't sit down and go you know what i'm going to give my life meaning
00:16:15.360
It can't choose the hard road when the easy one is sitting right there.
00:16:23.200
You can pick up somebody else's burden that nobody's forcing on you.
00:16:28.120
You can build the thing that maybe doesn't need to be built, but you can build it.
00:16:46.120
You know, I think about that guy who he and his wife aborted their baby because of Down syndrome.
00:16:56.560
This is what the father, he aborted a child that had Down syndrome because of, you know, well, it's just not going to have a good life.
00:17:22.400
Yeah, of course I'm glad my dad didn't terminate me.
00:17:32.140
Somebody asked him, are you glad you're alive and your dad didn't abort you?
00:17:40.800
The cavalier attitude, and I contend this had nothing to do with a child.
00:17:48.920
It had everything to do with his wife's life.
0.97
00:18:26.280
I don't like talking about other podcasters, especially those who I disagree with.
00:18:39.440
and Candace Owens went over to Russia and the story was not
00:19:04.360
and i just disagree with almost all of that well except for the premise that america is in decline
00:19:10.700
yes it is if we choose to continue and our culture is evil i think it's pumping up poison myself we
00:19:17.120
have to become people of god but we certainly don't need a christian prince to do it the lord
00:19:22.980
has it you know in hand and he's requiring his people to turn his face back to him if we do then
00:19:29.140
we'll be saved if we don't well then you know all bets are off but it's as easy as that i don't need
00:19:34.580
to go to somebody who is telling us like alexander dugan is russia is aligned with iran is there any
00:19:41.300
doubt in your mind that iran is not a good place not one where jesus is like you know what sometimes
00:19:46.560
i like to vacation in iran i just love the i love the clerics there i don't think so um dugan said
00:19:52.960
Also, he would give nukes to any state that would, not United States, like capital state, any state that would actually help wipe the West off the face of the map, take America on.
00:20:09.640
You know, that doesn't sound like somebody I want to hang out with on my vacation, but to each his own, I guess.
00:20:15.820
i've been telling you about alexander dugan for a long time but now he brought up something just
00:20:22.720
last week that i had not i had not heard about and it's the uh
00:20:27.880
cat etch cat catachon i think or the uh katacon i don't know exactly how to pronounce it i'd
00:20:38.460
never heard of it before there is a op-ed now at glennbeck.com written by bill cloud and he
00:20:44.060
talks about what this is and you know alexander dugan and russia and what they really believe
00:20:50.460
because you cannot get caught in this trap even the very elect are going to get caught in this
00:20:55.320
trap and it's very very dangerous bill welcome to the program hi glenn it's great great to be
00:21:00.380
with you again thank you how do you pronounce this and what is katechon catacomb catacomb
00:21:13.920
Well, it's a Greek term, actually, and it's used by the Apostle Paul in a letter he wrote to the Thessalonians.
00:21:22.400
And he's describing he who restrains or he who's holding back.
00:21:31.980
And what he's referring to is that the restrainer, the katakon, is who or what holds back the man of sin from being fully revealed.
00:21:41.960
And so the assumption is made that the katakon or the restrainer is a force for good and it's there to keep evil in check.
0.74
00:21:49.640
But apparently, and this is, I just found this out last week, too, when I read the article by Mr. Morrow, that Alexander Dugan believes that the West, I think we can include Zionism and Jews and that, that they're the evil in the world that has to be restrained.
0.67
00:22:07.860
And so he is apparently applying the role of katakon or the restrainer to Russia, to his vision of what Russia should be, that they are a God-ordained instrument who, with Islam as an ally, that they're in the world to overcome the evil as he sees it, that is the West and the Jews, et cetera, et cetera.
00:22:29.840
So that's what it – that's where the idea comes from.
00:22:32.860
how do christians how are they getting caught up in this i mean you say to me hey you know who the
00:22:42.160
evil is america you could convince me that america does great evil with its culture i i agree we are
00:22:48.620
way off base with our culture we are we are an enemy of god in many ways but when you're looking
00:22:54.860
to say okay we gotta wipe that out and hey by the way let's partner with russia i begin to question
00:23:01.740
you, let's partner with Russia and Iran. There's no way I, as a Christian, believe that at all,
00:23:08.940
ever. How are they falling for this? Well, just my opinion, I guess, is that, you know,
00:23:16.100
a lot of Christians just really don't know what the scripture says, quite honestly. A lot of people
00:23:21.540
don't take the time to study it. A lot of people regurgitate theology, and theology, and I say
00:23:26.360
this respectfully, is not equivalent to the truth. The theology is the study of God, but that's
00:23:33.740
always subjected to a man's opinion. And in this particular case, Dugan is interpreting what Paul
00:23:41.300
said about the restrainer and applying it to Russia in this case. So I think that's how it
00:23:46.940
happens. It's generally a lot of people just really don't know what the scripture has to say.
00:23:52.060
They know what people say it says, but they don't take the time to read it.
00:23:55.900
So, I mean, there's probably a lot of other reasons.
0.97
00:23:59.040
And people have their eyes on all the wrong things at this point in time, including Christians.
0.99
00:24:07.240
Last week, I found out that Dugan and his allies are saying that the Antichrist is going to come from the West, from America, and it's a Jewish Antichrist.
00:24:20.020
Do you read that anywhere in Scripture? Anywhere, any way?
00:24:26.400
In other words, that there's going to be a Jewish Antichrist? No, I don't.
00:24:34.040
Well, I mean, there are people who believe that, but no, I don't see that in Scripture at all.
00:24:39.640
In fact, all the patterns that we see in Scripture seem to say that the Antichrist is going to come from the East.
00:24:47.040
for instance nebuchadnezzar he is a prototype of the antichrist he was the king of babylon he's
0.59
00:24:53.320
the one that came in and destroyed jerusalem destroyed the temple he went mad for seven
00:24:58.080
years he became a beast he made an image of himself and he is from the east and and so there's
00:25:04.240
a pattern there so i could go on and on and that but all the patterns and seem to show that he's
00:25:09.860
going to come from the east, not from the west. And isn't there something about Gog and Magog
00:25:17.660
being Persia and Russia? Is any of that true? Well, when I was reading about Dugan saying that,
00:25:30.860
you know, he believes Russia is the restrainer and all these kinds of things, and, you know,
00:25:37.440
wanting to align himself with Islam and how he believed that the restrainer,
00:25:44.480
were going to lead this holy war against the West and overcome the Jewish
0.87
00:25:52.700
That's when, you know, my brain just really just was on overload.
00:25:57.580
connect that idea to all of these different prophecies.
00:26:01.640
And one of them being there is this battle that is described in Ezekiel 30
00:26:09.740
Now, let me just insert this real quick in what Morrow said in his article,
00:26:14.940
is that Dugan believes that this climactic battle that the Catacomb and Almaty is going to fight is Armageddon.
00:26:23.380
But I'm thinking, if that happens, and I say if, he might be walking into what is described in Ezekiel 38 and 9.
00:26:32.880
So that is this confederation of, it's a confederation of Islamic nations, but the Bible describes or speaks to the chief prince of Meshach and Tuval, Gog of Magog, who comes from the far north.
00:26:49.980
And where Israel's concerned, the far north could be and include Russia.
00:26:55.760
So, you know, people have talked about this for centuries as who is Gog of Magog and certainly in the last 50, 60, 70 years.
0.79
00:27:04.720
But when I saw this and that there's this man who's pushing this ideology and philosophy supposedly even to Putin and how Russia's destiny is to be the katakon and to put down the West and to put down Israel, et cetera, that's what I really thought.
0.88
00:27:24.080
There might be something to this Russia being allied with these Islamic nations coming into the mountains of Israel.
0.94
00:27:38.280
But now the result will be, of course, that this invading force will be destroyed.
00:27:45.620
So, Bill, I mean, I'm not asking anybody to believe that we're living in end times or anything.
00:27:53.000
It is shocking the number of people that actually believe that we are possibly in the end times.
00:28:10.920
According to Pew, 39%, nearly 4 in 10, say, yes, we're living in the end times.
00:28:20.620
About a quarter of people with no religious affiliation said yes to that as well.
00:28:26.400
Nine percent of atheists say, yes, we're living in the end times.
00:28:39.060
And, you know, I did some research on, you know, this has been happening since, I mean, the apostles thought Jesus was coming back.
00:28:44.920
But there are some things now that are unique that are important pieces, like, for instance, the reestablishment of Israel, important pieces of prophecy that we've now hit that make war, rumors of war, nations rising against earthquakes, famines, all that stuff, mean a little bit more this time.
00:29:13.040
If you don't mind, let me give you this passage of Scripture.
00:29:25.740
And on the third day, he will raise us up that we may live in his sight.
00:29:32.600
And on the third day, basically, it's describing the Messianic era when we live in his sight,
0.54
00:29:38.920
when Messiah rules and reigns from Jerusalem on the earth.
00:29:42.240
The point being this, a day with the Lord is 1,000 years.

It's been 2,000 years or two days since the Messiah left, and it was said that he will come again.
00:29:54.660
So we're coming to the end of that second day when he revives us.
00:30:05.920
I believe adamantly that we're coming to the end of the second prophetic day and about to enter into the third day, which means then there are going to be birth pangs.
00:30:17.840
There are going to be all these wars and rumors of wars and all the things that Messiah describes in Matthew 24 and all the prophets talk about.
00:30:24.600
And then, you know, let's bring it back to this philosophy or theology that Dugan has, which, by the way, embraces this idea that Moscow is the third Rome of the Roman Empire, and supposedly, according to their theology, it's to be the last one.
00:30:43.680
So he believes we're in the last days, too. And he aligns himself with Iran and these exotic nations who they also believe it's the last days, looking at it from a completely different perspective.
00:30:56.000
So all of these things are aligning in a way that I don't think it's happened in human history that, you know, I know that there will be people who disagree with that.
00:31:05.440
But when you've got nine percent of atheists saying we're living in the last days, that's pretty strong.
00:31:10.520
pretty it's really remarkable um you know i've had atheists say glenn i can't describe there's
00:31:16.920
no word to describe what's happening in the world right now except for the word evil and i'm like
00:31:21.540
you're an atheist they're like i know i know i know exactly what i'm saying um but that's the
00:31:26.940
only way i can describe what i'm seeing right now you're streaming the best of glenn beck to hear
00:31:31.580
more of this interview and others download the full show podcasts wherever you get podcasts
00:32:46.040
Okay, all right, all right, all right, that's enough
00:33:34.080
I don't know what hundred people I could give it to, but I might need a hundred copies.
00:33:39.660
I saw Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg's new film last night.
00:33:47.480
Everybody's like, oh, it's the best film he's ever made.
00:33:52.380
But not his best is still better than most movies that are out.
00:33:58.820
With that, and I'm not going to blow anything, but with that,
1.00
00:34:02.360
But some moments in this are just downright stupid.
0.95
00:34:07.640
They kind of make you question if Spielberg, did Spielberg see the final edit of this?
1.00
00:34:12.440
You know, and when you'll know it when you see it, because there are a couple of Jar Jar Binks level stupid calls in this movie.
0.97
00:34:20.220
You know, grown adults hiding behind a leafless bush in a split rail fence while being hunted.
0.99
00:34:25.600
the people are on the other side of the fence and they're just crouched down behind a split rail
00:34:30.380
fence and a bush with no leaves you know or they're hiding behind a rock literally about
00:34:37.200
seven feet away they had a chance to escape but they wanted to see what happened so they're
00:34:41.820
standing behind this rock while everybody's searching for it was like please did spielberg
00:34:47.000
watch this movie anyway in the end you'll find the the aliens more believable than some of the
00:34:52.700
humans but go see it that said that's the worst of it and it's only a couple of scenes you know
00:34:58.000
quickly that go by you're just like oh come on um but here's what i recommend if you want your
00:35:04.520
money's worth uh don't go out and watch the nine o'clock show or the eight o'clock show
00:35:11.760
you know go to dinner and then go and reverse that go to the six or seven o'clock show and
00:35:17.520
then go have dinner and invite some friends that you know can think invite some friends to go with
00:35:24.220
you and go see the movie then sit down and dinner and then because i'm telling you the real the real
00:35:31.780
story is not the one on the screen it's the conversation that that movie will make will
00:35:36.020
just pull right out of you okay um it opens and no spoiler alert needed here it because the opening
00:35:42.860
scene is the world is at DEFCON 2, one step from the brink. It's a sub, sub, sub, sub, sub, sub,
00:35:51.440
subplot. Or is it? I think the movie would say yes, but I'm not so sure. But DEFCON 2,
00:36:00.520
in case you don't know, only time in American history we've ever had it is Strategic Air Command
00:36:04.600
has confirmed DEFCON 2 only one time in our history, and that's the Cuban Missile Crisis
00:36:09.520
in 1962 defcon one is we're at full war nuclear war um defcon two is without going to war it is
00:36:19.220
when everything the rockets are juiced and ready to take off all the planes that need to be up in
00:36:25.820
the air are in the air we just have to call them back it's that kind of thing most people i think
00:36:30.700
in the theater missed what happened at the end and i won't tell you what happened at the end
00:36:34.680
But the disclosure is over, the chases take over the whole movie,
00:36:40.820
and that opening fear of DEFCON 2 kind of vanishes by the final credits.
00:36:51.880
The story tells you what you're supposed to fear in the first five minutes
00:36:55.600
and then walks you right past it while you're staring at a spectacle.
00:37:00.040
okay now in reality if and i don't believe this is what's happening here but people are like this
00:37:08.600
movie and it's just softening up if this movie was built to soften you up for disclosure
00:37:15.620
then the ending is really important and you might miss the whole point on what the government would
00:37:22.940
want you to do in case of disclosure real or a psyop okay there's also in the movie a religious
00:37:28.940
angle that uh i'm not i'm not really sure i'm all that comfortable with um i mean i am comfortable
00:37:37.300
with it being presented the movie the way it was presented it's just these are all conversations
00:37:43.040
we have to have okay um and this what this this part is you know more to the surface and it's
00:37:50.080
pretty unavoidable um and the question is if they if there are aliens are they from god
00:37:55.940
now hold that thought because this is where the movie stops being entertainment and starts asking
00:38:03.260
harder questions about the world we're actually living in and there's two theories that i think
00:38:08.340
are worth mentioning here predictive programming and cultivation theory okay there is an old idea
00:38:15.300
called predictive programming it was popularized by a researcher alan watt and the idea is that
00:38:21.540
entertainment can preload the public with ideas you put concepts into films and shows and stories
00:38:28.320
year in advance so when something similar appears in reality it feels familiar almost inevitable
00:38:34.120
we've seen it with the x-files okay yeah it's like an episode of the x-files okay that that's what
00:38:40.100
they mean preloading you so you you don't necessarily freak out i've seen instead when
00:38:45.240
it happens you're like i've seen this before i've seen this movie before right now skeptics
00:38:50.280
rightly point out that this can become a conspiracy lens that explains everything therefore doesn't
00:38:58.520
explain anything all right but you don't have to go full fringe to see something real here
00:39:03.780
the department of defense or war and the cia have had an official entertainment liaison
00:39:10.880
office for decades did you know that um they are they are brought in to help shape stories
00:39:21.740
and it's not a shadowy conspiracy it's i mean it's it's out there you know they're they're
00:39:28.400
given jets and bases and and technical advisors for their movies and in in exchange they shape
00:39:34.900
the stories for the government and this is documented policy hollywood gets access government
00:39:47.020
This one was developed by a guy named George Grubner,
00:39:57.220
heavy media consumption doesn't just entertain,
00:40:06.080
What are most people doing eight hours every day?
00:40:09.960
They are scrolling and staring and consuming media.
00:40:16.740
This research shows that heavy viewers develop mean world syndrome, where everything is a danger.
00:40:28.280
They become more fearful, more dependent, and more open to strongman measures.
00:40:36.700
grubner testified in front of congress that fearful people are easier to manipulate and control
00:40:44.060
psychologists have studied this for years and years and years repeated exposure to threats
00:40:48.620
in media can desensitize or heighten anxiety depending on the framing so wars crisis existential
00:40:57.000
threats stories in prime to prime populations and it primes them to accept changes they might
00:41:05.160
otherwise resist. Look how our country has been primed. Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi,
00:41:10.780
Nazi, Nazi, Nazi. What does that do? That primes you to turn on your neighbor. That primes you to
00:41:16.540
excuse violence. This isn't magic. This is human psychology. And it plays a heavy,
00:41:24.080
heavy role in our society and our culture today. So, you know, I don't know if this is
00:41:32.420
all of this stuff that you're seeing now with the ufos if it's natural or being fed to us
00:41:37.640
but we know stuff is being fed to us um through our algorithms intentionally also think about
00:41:44.660
orson wells orson wells 1938 war of the worlds what was the lesson we were supposed to learn
00:41:52.780
from that we taught we were taught that war of the worlds with with orson wells caused mass panic
00:42:00.720
People fleeing into the streets, believing Martians has landed, blah, blah, blah.
00:42:07.800
Only about 2% of the country was even tuned in.
00:42:11.580
It was War of the Worlds and Orson Welles and the Mercury Radio Theater
00:42:15.120
was something that was up against the hardest show.
00:42:20.560
A radio show done by a ventriloquist, Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen.
00:42:38.540
The legend that there was mass panic, where did that come from?
00:42:46.380
Newspapers who were losing advertising revenue to radio during the Depression.
00:42:59.720
Hmm, you mean like the way cable news paints podcasters?
00:43:07.260
So the hysteria wasn't about public gullibility.
00:43:15.980
the lesson we supposedly learned was wrong the real lesson is always ask who profits from the fear
00:43:26.220
president reagan um he said in 19 i think 87 he was at the united nations and he said
00:43:35.780
that all of our earthly differences would vanish if we would face an alien or an alien threat from
00:43:43.440
the outside outside of the world okay a sitting president musing out loud about unity through
00:43:51.380
extraterrestrial fear back in 1960 brookings the brookings institute um delivered a report
00:43:59.340
to nasa on the implications of discovering extraterrestrial life and this is in the movie
00:44:04.940
i mean it's they don't quote this but this is implied in the movie what they found in 1960
00:44:11.320
they warned the government that if you talk about aliens and you confirm them it could
00:44:18.840
destabilize our entire society it would challenge religious and cultural foundations and that
00:44:24.500
leaders would you know should should carefully consider if they're going to release the
00:44:30.100
information that's what this whole movie is about okay the fight between somebody who wants the
00:44:35.120
information released and somebody who doesn't want the information released and which one is right
00:44:39.580
this conversation is 65 years old and it happened in government buildings on the record in the 1960s
00:44:46.520
okay we've been seeing a steady drumbeat of disclosure that is happening i don't know what's
00:44:53.860
real and what's not pentagon is releasing footage congressional hearings talk of and i'm quoting
00:45:00.380
non-human uh biologics what a government who has been done not denying this for decades
00:45:08.640
suddenly decides to open the door, why and who profits from fear?
00:45:16.560
Run a pure thought experiment here, not claiming this is happening,
00:45:20.580
just asking what it could mean if disclosure narratives were softening us up
00:45:26.120
for a bigger narrative, something bigger, actual disclosure.
00:45:30.960
What major permanent shifts in the Western world might need a spectacular distraction?
00:45:37.280
we're we're living right now with rapid changes currency power governance
00:45:43.540
there's an economist his name is robert higgs and he he talks about something called the ratchet
00:45:50.520
effect a crisis expands government power we know that and even after the crisis passes the machine
00:45:58.040
doesn't go back it only ratchets upward bigger wars change borders and currencies they don't
00:46:05.060
have to be won outright. They just need to last long enough for people to forget what life was
00:46:09.620
like before and accept the new normal. So in 2026, we see shifting global orders, debates over the
00:46:16.320
dollar's dominance, pushes for digital currency, stable coins, bricks, all of this stuff. Okay.
00:46:23.120
All of this is under strain. Okay. So we have all this competition, protectionism, realignments,
00:46:31.680
everything's about to change you feel it you feel it a dramatic external threat
00:46:38.080
if it's real or amplified could unify populations it would justify new controls surveillance global
00:46:46.160
coordination um everything else would face resistance but if you could just bring everybody
00:46:51.140
together now again this is a thought experiment i really don't believe this is what it's what it is
00:46:55.560
i i i think disclosure day i don't think it's a government operation i think it's spielberg he's
00:47:01.340
a master storyteller who has his finger on the pulse, and he sees what's going on. He wrote a
00:47:05.200
great story. I think that's what's happening. However, he has collaborated with government
00:47:09.640
entities to help shape narratives before. The famous Clinton denial, I did not have sex with
00:47:14.220
that woman, that's Steven Spielberg, okay? The deeper point here is not aliens. It's vulnerability.
00:47:22.300
The only door any power, human or otherwise, needs is fear. A person grounded in true
00:47:30.140
faith history principles cannot be stampeded by flashing lights or headlines
00:47:37.740
watch the other hand watch the other hand admire the big-eyed invaders in the movie go see the
00:47:44.640
movie six o'clock show dinner at nine talk about the open the opening and the ending what is this
00:47:50.460
movie really about and saying and just stay awake know what you believe lights in the sky are one
00:47:57.780
thing, the ratchet turning the shadows is another.
