New York Times worried about all of the right things.
00:00:33.060
You know, like what would the impact be if Trump takes out all of the cartels?
00:00:41.080
Also, Stargate could end up being a catastrophe or one of the greatest inventions since mankind harnessed energy and electricity.
00:00:53.700
Also, the president spoke at the World Economic Forum and Carol Roth is here to talk about the economy.
00:01:03.920
The sad and ugly truth is that no one, not even President Trump and his incoming administration,
00:01:08.400
can protect you and your family from every possible emergency situation that could arise.
00:01:13.500
We have to prepare for them the best that we can.
00:01:16.080
And when a crisis hits, food is almost always the first casualty.
00:01:21.480
And as soon as things get scary, panic buying sets in.
00:01:25.160
Storing emergency food in your home is the right thing to do.
00:01:28.180
We still live in crazy times and your family might need it.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:04.600
Well, Trump has decided to release the JFK assassination files immediately.
00:02:14.340
In talking to Kash Patel, he said that he saw them, and it's not who they're protecting, but what they're protecting.
00:02:22.920
He wouldn't give us any more details other than that.
00:02:25.240
He is one of the guys who saw it with President Trump when President Trump decided to hold back one more time.
00:02:32.540
I'm still waiting also for an explanation of the drones, but that's kind of fallen off the news.
00:02:37.700
And, you know, he has been a little busy, a little busy with a couple of other things.
00:02:52.740
Stu, I just want to give you this and tell me how you get here.
00:03:01.620
New York Times, Mexican drug cartels are responsible for the untimely deaths of hundreds of thousands of people over the past two decades.
00:03:10.880
When factoring in the fentanyl, they smuggle into the United States.
00:03:14.620
Cartels are also culpable for the deaths of over 200 Americans every day.
00:03:20.100
They deal with murder and addiction, mass kidnappings, rape, torture, political intimidation, yada yada.
00:03:27.260
But the New York Times has a concern about the economic impact of Trump's plan to identify and hold the cartels responsible.
00:03:43.920
Now, I'm trying to think about the positive impact the New York Times might have found with the cartels.
00:04:02.060
They're kind of in the medical business, kind of.
00:04:07.360
Well, they're kind of pharmaceutical companies.
00:04:10.540
I mean, you could treat certain ailments with their products.
00:04:19.200
Adult entertainment or child entertainment, you know, for adults.
00:04:25.380
I mean, would we get any good movies or music if there were no drugs in this country?
00:04:35.600
Are they trying to say, basically, these cartels are used as coyotes, essentially, and the people
00:04:43.800
who are coming in for free, cheap labor, or free or cheap labor, won't be coming in anymore?
00:04:51.420
I mean, again, I don't think that's a good argument, but is that what they're trying to
00:04:54.820
So what they're saying is, is that this is going to be hard on the banks.
00:05:03.140
Well, because the banks are going to be responsible for knowing if your, you know, if your client
00:05:07.040
is a, you know, part of a drug cartel and, you know.
00:05:12.440
So what additional, I mean, is this going to cause additional layers of paperwork for
00:05:20.660
And not just cartels, but like, you know, are your friendly neighborhood drug dealers?
00:05:25.280
You know, I, I think, I mean, if you're in that business, you probably aren't using
00:05:32.300
Now, if you're a cartel, you want to use the banks.
00:05:34.860
But I mean, if you're coming in, you know, every year with, you know, 1.5 billion dollars
00:05:40.760
or, you know, even have holdings of a trillion dollars, you know, I might want to ask, how
00:05:55.280
Uh, as you know, you also put down here, you're in the entertainment industry and pharmaceuticals,
00:06:02.100
but I haven't seen anything on the shelves, uh, from you.
00:06:07.400
Now, Elizabeth Warren has reliably told me that, uh, own, own P criminals only use cryptocurrency.
00:06:20.800
Uh, but, uh, you know, I just, you know, as I said yesterday, if I were an entrepreneur
00:06:27.520
and I were in Mexico, I might start coffins.com, uh, you know, because I think there's going
00:06:36.900
And, you know, as long as Gavin Newsom isn't there, he's not going to put any, well, there's
00:06:40.900
a coffin shortage, so, you know, let's not raise the price of coffins.
00:06:49.460
So when there's a rush for coffins, because I don't know, uh, our special forces have
00:06:54.820
killed all of the people in the drug cartels, you can make some money.
00:06:58.800
What's your impression on what Trump actually does here?
00:07:01.920
We talked a little bit about this yesterday, but like, what, what, what's the, what's the
00:07:07.200
I know you don't, you know, I'm, you're not going to reveal anything, but like, what was
00:07:09.940
I don't, you, I, I, I, uh, you have thoughts and impressions, let's say.
00:07:16.220
Thought you, what, when you talk, when, when basing this completely on your thoughts and impressions,
00:07:19.920
yes, and not anything else, what, what would Trump, what, what, what would be the approach
00:07:26.520
Uh, he would assign people to make a list of, uh, who those, those terrorists are.
00:07:38.780
Uh, and then, uh, then they'll give it to the president and they'll say, uh, here's
00:07:44.060
the case against these guys and this cartel, uh, and many other cartels.
00:07:49.960
And, uh, the president will say, what do you recommend?
00:07:53.100
And they'll say, we go in at night, uh, with our, uh, you know, night vision and we kill
00:08:03.240
And so then we go in at night and we kill them all.
00:08:06.640
And in the morning, everybody wakes up surprised cause they're dead.
00:08:13.440
And just leaves like a row, like a rotating, just a repeating ad on the television for
00:08:24.900
Uh, you might be, you might consider becoming a franchisee owner of Coffins.com.
00:08:30.600
Uh, yeah, I think that's what he's going to do.
00:08:32.340
Now he's not going to, he's not going to play around.
00:08:34.280
You are going to see death and destruction of these cartels.
00:08:38.120
And, uh, you know, I don't, I don't, I'd be shocked to find out if that was our special
00:08:48.480
So that's, it's an under, essentially an undercover plan where you're sending in undercover.
00:08:55.320
If it's going to be undercover or if it will be on, you know, it might be like survivor,
00:09:02.600
Do you have this week on survivor who's going to survive in this cartel?
00:09:06.500
Do you have the, uh, maybe, uh, do you have some sort of arrangement with the Mexican government
00:09:15.860
Like, do you say to them, look, we're coming in, whether you like it or not.
00:09:22.860
But I mean, there's a certain level of, of Donald Trump saying things in a negotiation.
00:09:27.140
I don't think they're, you know, like yesterday, uh, yesterday at the WEF, they asked the, uh,
00:09:33.000
president of, uh, Panama, you know, are you worried about the president just taking the
00:09:39.580
And he said, get serious, get serious, please get serious.
00:09:45.180
I, I, I think Donald Trump might be serious about that one.
00:09:49.040
He's never said he's going to just go take Greenland or Mexico or, uh, uh, Canada, even
00:09:55.740
Uh, he's, he's not gonna, he's not doing that, but he is very clear.
00:10:00.080
I am going to kill the cartels because they're terrorist operations and they're operating here
00:10:05.800
in the United States and causing a lot of pain and suffering.
00:10:09.180
I mean, he's designated them terrorist groups, right?
00:10:11.140
And we know what, what has happened with, you know, uh, Al Qaeda or whatever, when you,
00:10:15.640
when he designated a terrorist group, it gives us, uh, uh, what we consider and other
00:10:19.860
countries don't consider the legal authority to go in and do these types of things.
00:10:23.460
Because Mexico no longer has the legal authority to do anything because they're run by the
00:10:29.780
So you're going to see a lot of feigned outrage at the beginning until he gets rid of these
00:10:37.880
Well, that's what, and that's what I wonder, because we've had this relationship with certain
00:10:41.560
other countries where we've gone to them and said, Hey, we're doing this, whether you
00:10:45.800
And they, some of them are angry and outrage, but a lot of them are like, Oh no, you shouldn't.
00:10:52.900
Just, if you need to know where they are, let me know.
00:10:54.780
Like they want, they would love to get rid of this problem.
00:10:57.120
I think, and it's depending on who you're talking about in the Mexican government, you
00:11:01.640
like to get rid of this because they're challenging your power.
00:11:09.900
Uh, and, uh, so it's not going to be real unpopular in Mexico with the average everyday
00:11:17.700
Like, let's just say we had a problem with, uh, you know, I don't know, cartels in our
00:11:21.540
country and the Mexican government was upset with the reverse situation happening.
00:11:27.020
They sent in their special forces into our country without our approval.
00:11:34.980
Now, we're the big boys on the, on the, on the, on the, on the street.
00:11:37.920
So we don't have to care necessarily about that, but.
00:11:42.340
Let's say we were in the situation that Mexico's in, where we try to vote mayors in, we try
00:11:49.540
to vote, vote governors in, and they're just slaughtered in the streets because they say
00:11:54.180
I'm taking on the cartels and they slaughter everyone in, in, uh, government that is even
00:12:03.480
So we've tried to vote them out and we, as people know that our government is now in
00:12:09.660
bed with the cartels and it's getting worse and worse and worse.
00:12:15.800
Enough of these cartels, they are hurting our people.
00:12:19.480
And so we're going to come across the border and we're going to take care of them because
00:12:31.840
That's, that's the part I think is interesting.
00:12:33.860
I think if I were the president of the United States and in this situation and the president
00:12:37.880
of Mexico says, we've got these great special forces, we're coming in and taking them out,
00:12:43.320
I would say, well, because I think as a country, you can't just give your nation to the other
00:12:49.940
Like Mexico, like if we have the authority to cross the border and they just are like,
00:12:53.360
yeah, please, anytime you can come over and police in our country, please do so.
00:13:00.860
I mean, it's just a very aggressive form of international terrorist group.
00:13:05.080
That is, is crossing our borders and causing, it's still a form of law enforcement.
00:13:09.280
I mean, we are, but you would, you would maybe say, well, we would never allow that,
00:13:17.340
And you'd encourage it and you'd assist in any way possible.
00:13:22.080
You would take note of everyone in the federal government and your local government.
00:13:35.540
I just don't know what this, especially this new, this woman who's trying to get into like
00:13:40.520
little fight, you know, peeing contests with Donald Trump over these types of things.
00:13:46.080
No, this isn't a, this isn't a little peeing thing.
00:13:51.620
Well, if you're going to rename it Gulf of America, we're going to look at this region.
00:14:07.720
She was doing, essentially she was acting like a guest on the view.
00:14:10.940
Like, oh yeah, well, I'm a strong woman and look at me.
00:14:26.480
If she is corrupt and in bed with the cartels, the people of Mexico will decide that after all of the pressure is off because we've killed the cartels.
00:14:37.160
I mean, I just think there is, I mean, they're going to try to cause problems in here.
00:14:41.540
But I have to tell you, you have no idea what you're up against with the United States military, our special forces.
00:14:52.960
I'm going to put my money on the U.S. special forces.
00:14:56.480
And I don't think they're going to win in that fight.
00:15:03.080
We've complained a lot about, you know, DEI in the military, that the military has gone soft, that we're, you know, we've had all these problems.
00:15:12.180
He's the central part of why he's going into this role.
00:15:17.300
Is it possible that we don't have enough of the, of what we need in the military to accomplish these tasks anymore?
00:15:31.980
For our special forces, our teams to go in, in the dead of night and kill all these people?
00:15:42.880
So the burner launcher was, uh, started and designed by, uh, the guy, uh, who designed it is a guy who was in, um, on the freeway and somebody had road rage and they were following him and, you know, trying to race him and everything else.
00:16:01.700
And it was, he was really disturbed and he tried, he went over to the slow lane, slowed way down.
00:16:11.220
Well, when he pulled over, so did the other guy.
00:16:14.140
And the other guy just flew out of his car and it was, and he looks in his rear view mirror and he says, oh my gosh, this guy's coming at me.
00:16:20.020
He reached to his glove box and almost pulled out his gun, decided not to, decided to, uh, deescalate the situation.
00:16:28.380
And he walked out and he was beaten on the side of the street within an inch of his life.
00:16:33.500
And he said, I'm not going to shoot somebody for road rage.
00:16:39.340
Uh, he said I would, but I would have pulled the gun if I had to do it over again, but I don't want to kill somebody for it.
00:16:46.680
So he created the Burna launcher, which would have stopped that from happening.
00:16:51.260
And in, in honor of inauguration week, they put together a custom curated bundle discounted 15% off right now.
00:16:59.320
Burna.com slash Glenn, B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Glenn.
00:17:13.700
Uh, the president is addressing the world economic, uh, forum at Davos.
00:17:18.700
And even throughout the world, food prices and the price of almost every other thing.
00:17:25.440
We have a couple of producers watching this for us.
00:17:28.100
They're going to give us an update on this as we go.
00:17:30.480
And we'll, we'll go back and, uh, go over his speech.
00:17:33.260
This should be hopefully a very strong speech on, um, America is America and we're not playing
00:17:46.140
What do you expect the president to say in this, Carol?
00:17:50.720
I hope he says, you know, we're going to defund, uh, ourselves from you.
00:17:57.180
And, you know, we're sick of NGOs sticking our nose in their business, kind of like he
00:18:01.560
did with the world health organization, which I was really excited about.
00:18:06.600
Glad I'm not sure if that'll happen this time around, but that would be best case scenario
00:18:10.860
Do you think he knows who the world economic economic forum really is?
00:18:17.060
I've got to imagine with the people who are in his circle, the same people who are advising
00:18:22.600
him, um, you know, on WHO, on DEI and ESG that I can't imagine how the world economic
00:18:30.300
forum doesn't enter into that conversation with that group of people.
00:18:34.300
So, you know, I would be surprised, but then again, many things have surprised me over time
00:18:40.600
So tell me what you see the president doing this week that you think signals really good
00:18:48.640
Well, I think just the general tenor of having problem solvers in the white house and on his
00:18:55.300
team, instead of people who are intentionally trying to create problems, it's a huge, um,
00:19:01.500
it's a huge, you know, what a concept to us, right.
00:19:04.700
Is that we're seeing, um, every time he's coming out with one of these executive orders or putting
00:19:10.460
something out there, it's in an attempt to solve an actual real problem that is going to
00:19:15.920
make America better instead of trying to create problems that is making America worse.
00:19:23.020
Certainly there are many things to attack and we all have our wish lists of, you know, how
00:19:28.980
And certainly some of these things come in partnership with Congress.
00:19:32.620
So, um, you know, the number one thing, you know, on, on my agenda is to try to get this
00:19:38.700
So it'd be really great to hear him say that that's jettisoned, but, uh, I'm not sure if
00:19:42.900
that's coming quite yet, that's, that is being introduced by Rand Paul and somebody else in
00:19:49.320
They're trying to get that to go through Congress, which is good, right?
00:19:55.000
So actually, so just to give people context, um, this is what Glenn and I have been talking
00:20:01.060
It's a rule that is basically coming from the financial crimes enforcement network division
00:20:06.800
of treasury authorized by Congress, unfortunately, that says that small business entities.
00:20:12.180
So if you have an LLC or an S corporation have to register with the financial crimes division
00:20:19.260
of treasury, and Oh, by the way, we're going to exempt big businesses and we're going to
00:20:23.080
exempt financial services companies, but we really want to, we really want to prevent money
00:20:28.120
So we're going after you small businesses and the biggest challenge, you know, not only
00:20:32.320
is that government overreach, but the fines are egregious.
00:20:35.000
You could face jail time or daily fines up to almost $600 a day.
00:20:41.000
When, when was this supposed to go into effect?
00:20:42.800
Cause I haven't filed anything on, nor am I going to.
00:20:47.080
So originally the original deadline was the 31st of December.
00:20:50.980
Then we got this, uh, there are many lawsuits in place, but the one we're focused on is
00:20:54.720
the one from the NFIB and CIR and some other folks.
00:20:58.240
Um, and that one got a nationwide injunction put in place saying that the treasury could
00:21:03.700
not enforce this and they couldn't enforce penalties.
00:21:06.680
Well, then that was overturned and then that was overturned again, or stayed as they call
00:21:12.020
So right now where we stand is that the government has, um, appealed the injunction, this nationwide
00:21:18.600
injunction that says that you do not have to file right now.
00:21:21.220
They've appealed just that piece to the Supreme court.
00:21:24.440
So if the Supreme court does not overturn that injunction or stay, stay the injunction as
00:21:30.220
they call it, then this goes to the courts at the end of March.
00:21:35.860
We have the courts, uh, we have the Trump administration that could jettison it.
00:21:42.140
We have some wonderful members of Congress who actually introduced repeal bills last year
00:21:48.320
So in the house that is representative Warren Davidson of Ohio, and in the Senate, it is
00:21:57.880
So right now I heard, I heard in the, this morning in, in, uh, the house with 79 co-sponsors
00:22:05.020
it's called the repealing big brother overreach act.
00:22:07.840
And then as you mentioned on the Senate side, you have really big names like Rand Paul who
00:22:14.520
Uh, we're getting more members of Congress to understand how devastating this is for
00:22:19.120
So it's the repealing big brother overreach act perfectly named this time around.
00:22:24.400
And what we need is we need everybody to call their representatives, call your senators and
00:22:29.240
tell them that they're not already one of the co-sponsors they need to jump on because
00:22:33.360
that is just the surest way of Congress is to repeal that.
00:22:37.500
We don't have to worry about the Trump administration.
00:22:41.460
And I will have to say, I've, I personally sent an email to Scott Besson at treasury.
00:22:51.020
So, um, I, I don't, I've only met him, I think once or twice in the media.
00:22:55.180
Um, so I don't really know him personally, but I sent a message there anyway.
00:23:01.660
He did a great presentation at the Manhattan Institute over the summer where he talked about
00:23:06.700
this big tent that the Republicans are creating and how crucial it is for small businesses
00:23:15.300
We heard that from him again in his testimony, how important small businesses.
00:23:19.260
So the fact that he understands that main street needs to be leading this growth forward,
00:23:27.580
Let's hope that that means that he understands how this kind of regulation, because he's also
00:23:32.520
a deregulation guy, let's hope that he understands that this is important, but again, he hasn't
00:23:38.900
So we're just, we're trying to work all these different angles.
00:23:41.260
And I, I have to tell you, I, I like that we are using the system and not necessarily running
00:23:47.100
this through an executive order, which could just be next president could come in.
00:23:50.780
The best thing that could happen is it goes through Congress and they repeal it because
00:23:54.920
then they have to relaunch it again the next time, not just, you know, undo an executive
00:24:00.920
True, but at the same time, treasury does fall under the executive branch and treasury
00:24:07.560
So if treasury says we're going to jettison it, yes, we could get it back again, but it
00:24:11.420
would be a good step that I think would give Congress a lot of comfort in terms of, of
00:24:21.700
China is, I mean, it appeared last week and I, I, I said, I don't know if I said this
00:24:29.100
on the air, but I said, what happened to China?
00:24:32.520
I think it was last week when they really hit, uh, some real trouble in the overnight
00:24:38.760
And it looks like their banks were collapsing, et cetera, et cetera.
00:24:41.820
It looked to me like Bear Stearns, that this was the big, this was the warning sign that
00:24:56.380
I think there are two camps here and the camp that you're talking about is certainly, um,
00:25:01.400
the one that we're hearing more about a lot of people saying, oh, China is going to break
00:25:05.480
and, you know, they're going to, they're, they're going down there in this deflationary
00:25:11.400
Of course, um, you know, me being the nerd that I am, Glenn, you know, I spent a lot of
00:25:15.140
time reading economic research and there is this contrarian view that there are some
00:25:20.780
metrics that are happening that don't really add up.
00:25:23.600
And the fact that China may have more runway than us actually says that this may be worse for
00:25:30.740
So let me just give you a thought experiment for a second.
00:25:33.800
So China is in this crazy, you know, supposed spiral.
00:25:39.740
Where would the flight to safety in your estimation be if that were really the case?
00:25:55.260
And historically, you know, last 10 years, when there's some kind of issue with the yuan,
00:26:00.900
you would see that kind of showing up in the Treasury market in a very correlated way.
00:26:07.900
Our we're not getting our yields down when there's more interest in the Treasury market,
00:26:12.360
There's more demand for the bonds and the bonds and the yields trade in opposite directions.
00:26:18.940
Now, the Fed has cut rates in the 10 year yield.
00:26:25.680
So if China were in so much trouble, wouldn't everybody be flocking to the U.S.
00:26:31.200
market and wouldn't our yields be going in the opposite direction?
00:26:38.780
That's a signpost that says, well, maybe it's actually worse for us that this is happening.
00:26:43.680
And there's a bigger issue at play than for China.
00:26:46.800
Another one of these signposts, same kind of thing that with China potentially in this really
00:26:52.380
bad situation and maybe you've got tariffs coming down the line, all these things, you
00:26:57.760
would typically think that they would be raising a lot of dollars.
00:27:01.300
And to do that, they might be selling their gold.
00:27:10.900
So we're getting these decoupling of macroeconomic rules that have been in place.
00:27:17.260
And one of the theses out there, and I'll tell you, I'm not a China expert, but from an
00:27:21.860
econ standpoint, I'm listening to all the different takes to see what makes sense.
00:27:29.640
And I'm sure we'll get into that in a little bit.
00:27:34.760
So if things go a little sideways there, they have more options to fix it.
00:27:39.760
Or maybe by them going sideways, that has a reverberation that actually sends us and
00:27:45.540
the entire, you know, Western part of the world into a debt spiral.
00:27:50.660
So the question is really who's in a worse situation here.
00:27:55.680
And so I think that, you know, the the obvious answer is, oh, no, what's going to happen directly
00:28:01.860
And I think that the more important thing is what's going to happen with us as a result
00:28:07.680
OK, so is China now in the situation where we used to be?
00:28:13.320
They used to say, if America catches a cold, the rest of the world has pneumonia.
00:28:18.080
Are we are we kind of in that situation with China yet?
00:28:24.960
So I think that from us, it was from a hegemony standpoint that we were, you know, kind of
00:28:34.720
And so if we caught a cold, everybody else got, you know, a little bit of the sneeze that
00:28:42.600
Here, I think it's about what is China doing and perhaps Russia and some of these other countries
00:28:47.440
doing, knowing that it potentially could put pressure on the Western world to create these
00:28:54.400
debt spirals, to create these massive issues, you know, and to create, obviously, a lack
00:29:00.240
of confidence in our currency, which, again, going back to what I was pointing about, about
00:29:05.460
the the safe haven of the bond market, that that's no longer the safe haven.
00:29:10.540
It does sort of raise, you know, somebody's eyebrow to say, why?
00:29:15.880
And it seems like China, who plays the long game, may be doing it intentionally.
00:29:19.900
So I think, you know, we may be catching a cold more in the Wuhan way than in the traditional
00:29:26.740
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.
00:29:29.720
Hear more of this interview and others with the full show podcast available wherever you
00:29:35.420
If you have been following this show, I have talked about things for 30 years, and it is
00:29:43.580
a little terrifying to talk to you about things that were all theory that I saw coming, and
00:29:54.720
most people denied that it could even happen, and some people are still denying that it's
00:30:04.640
But I told you it would happen by 2030, and we are at the doorstep.
00:30:09.540
And so it is very important that you understand this.
00:30:15.060
We are at a place right now that could be remembered as the catastrophic moment for humanity.
00:30:29.500
And for one event, and not Donald Trump's inauguration, it's going to be remembered for one event.
00:30:37.460
And that event is either going to be the largest catastrophe in humanity, the last chance we
00:30:43.460
had to stop it, or the greatest thing that has happened to mankind since we learned to
00:30:51.440
I honestly, and no one will be able to tell you which it's going to be.
00:31:00.640
What I do know is that we are at an inflection point with technology, and we, as humans, are
00:31:15.680
They announced this week the beginning of Stargate.
00:31:22.360
Stargate is a brand new company that's goal is to build out massive AI infrastructure.
00:31:32.740
You know when they said the planet will be destroyed and humans will not be able to live
00:31:39.240
within 50 years or 100 years because everything's going to be destroyed by global warming.
00:31:45.940
And we said, well, if you believe that, you should put nuclear power back on the table.
00:31:51.420
We should be building the cleanest energy that is possible.
00:31:55.220
And they said, well, no, we've got to build new cars.
00:31:59.440
And now you know the fact that we don't have the infrastructure for electric cars.
00:32:06.200
Our power grid cannot handle electric cars, at least in any real amount.
00:32:15.380
30% of the countries on electric cars, the power grid won't hold.
00:32:19.500
You know this because California, when it was having its rolling brownouts and blackouts,
00:32:29.980
But nobody was talking about building nuclear power plants.
00:32:33.300
Nobody was talking about changing the infrastructure.
00:32:37.760
We can't change the infrastructure of our power grid.
00:32:40.600
But now that we are on the verge of AGI and ASI, something that people will still deny is close.
00:32:50.980
I'm telling you by 2030, it will be here, if not earlier.
00:32:56.120
Now that we are on that horizon and we see that this is possible, all the powers that be,
00:33:07.840
the same people that told us about global warming, the same companies that were trying to get us to eat bugs,
00:33:16.400
the same companies that have anti-human policies, they were not about human expansion.
00:33:33.420
Now that we are on this road for AGI or ASI, suddenly we have to have nuclear power plants.
00:33:42.660
I think it's Microsoft that just bought Three Mile Island.
00:33:46.780
I thought that was the most dangerous place on the planet.
00:33:54.440
Stargate is going to build massive infrastructure, especially data centers and electricity generation.
00:34:06.840
You're going to see these anti-human people now building electricity generation systems and cloud systems for AI to assist you.
00:34:20.540
You're going to start hearing a word if you haven't already.
00:34:24.620
You're not going to hear about AI as much as you're going to hear about agents.
00:34:36.620
This may be the last year that humans are not dealing with AI agents.
00:34:47.540
An AI agent is going to sound really great at first.
00:34:51.040
It's going to be able to make your travel plans.
00:34:58.320
Even people who are poor are going to live like they have a personal secretary at their disposal to take care of all of these things that they don't want to do.
00:35:10.000
And AI agents, the first ones, will be introduced in 2025, my feeling.
00:35:17.860
When you get to a GI, artificial general intelligence, and they're as smart as you are, can do as many things that you can do and more, and are flawless at it, how are you going to say no?
00:35:39.180
The AI revolution that is desired by big tech cannot happen.
00:35:49.040
I've been talking about this for 30 years, and if you've listened to me, you'll remember me saying,
00:35:54.560
please, we have to have these conversations before it hits.
00:36:03.460
You know, we just saw them shut down AI because they did a test.
00:36:11.080
If they tell AI to survive, or if it interprets its mission as a critical function,
00:36:20.100
it will find the power and build electricity generation plants itself and drain our electricity in ways you will not spot until it's too late.
00:36:30.840
It can build server farms without anyone suspecting that it's AI or an AI agent behind it.
00:36:38.720
Now, President Trump is clearly very excited about this potential, as we all should be.
00:37:03.940
And the dark side of AI is it is the ultimate jailer.
00:37:09.740
It will control your every move and every thought.
00:37:15.660
As I said, we are at a place where it's too late to have these conversations because somebody's going to get it.
00:37:27.140
And I think that's the best of the worst possibilities.
00:37:31.120
Now, he's excited about it as it pertains to economic development, because whoever wins this will control so much.
00:37:42.580
But its principal's investors, the principal investors in Stargate, they have pledged $100 billion in initial funding and $400 billion more over the next several years.
00:37:53.940
Side note, Elon Musk said they only have $10 billion.
00:38:01.120
But they are projecting the creation of 100,000 jobs or more.
00:38:07.260
But understand, those jobs are just to build the infrastructure.
00:38:16.240
Now, what's not getting a lot of attention that needs to is that the major players behind this project are not trustworthy.
00:38:31.120
And I started talking about we've got to know who is involved with this administration because there are going to be chameleons that come in.
00:38:41.360
So we have to know who the good guys are, who the bad guys are, who's actually on the team.
00:38:56.040
And now that we have all of this popularity, suddenly Donald Trump is cool with everyone.
00:39:03.140
We have to make sure those who wear masks are not coming in and claiming to be part of this team.
00:39:11.560
Well, that's who you have now in this launch of Stargate.
00:39:22.180
I want to go over this quickly, and then I'm going to bring Justin Haskins in who can clear some of this up.
00:39:28.480
But OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, led by Larry Ellison, are three of the major figures that come up in the news reports.
00:39:42.640
Now, this is an extreme wealth tech investment firm based in the UAE.
00:39:50.640
The UAE government created MGX last year to be a leader in AI investment.
00:39:57.940
The UAE government is closely aligned with the World Economic Forum, and it has been for a long time.
00:40:03.980
It co-created the great narrative effort in the WEF.
00:40:09.200
That's one of the primary subjects in our book, Dark Future.
00:40:12.620
If you have not read Dark Future, you must go back and look at it.
00:40:17.260
They are highly supportive of designing AI and other emerging technologies with ESG in mind.
00:40:24.740
They are no friend to individual liberty, at least any way that Americans would understand liberty.
00:40:30.820
The UAE are also the same people who have said at the great narrative event that humanity needs a new great narrative because, and I'm quoting,
00:40:43.300
soon our digital world will be as important as the physical world, end quote.
00:40:49.700
They also said we're entering a, quote, new era of human evolution, end quote, and, quote, a second wave of human evolution.
00:41:03.040
Their involvement from the UAE in Stargate should be deeply troubling.
00:41:09.840
But what's made more disturbing is the fact that MGX is also a player in what I think is another $100 billion AI infrastructure effort that was launched in late 2024.
00:41:21.620
It may be rolled into this one, I'm not sure, but that project involves BlackRock, not good people, Global Infrastructure Partners, which has been taken over by BlackRock, not good, Microsoft, not good, and the UAE, also not good.
00:41:41.340
Now, Microsoft and BlackRock, also heavily evolved in the Great Reset Movement, worked closely with the WEF over the last years.
00:41:51.700
And Larry Ellison, the man behind Oracle, is one of the central figures behind Stargate.
00:41:57.140
He's on record gleefully predicting that AI will soon create the world's most sophisticated surveillance system.
00:42:05.400
Discussing the surveillance system, Ellison said, and I quote, citizens will have to be on their best behavior, end quote.
00:42:17.280
I want you to know, there is another completely separate movement that is happening that I believe is the antidote of this.
00:42:33.500
You are not going to stop this, but you need to know what's going on.
00:42:39.840
You must understand what's coming so you can be on the other side of this.
00:42:47.280
