Summary
The government shut down the airspace over El Paso, Texas, at 4:30am ET this morning, but by 9:30, it was back up and running. What could be the reason for this? Is it a terrorist attack? Is the government trying to keep us from doing our jobs?

Terrifying warning as to what AI is capable of in the next one to five years from an insider.
00:00:41.000
The FAA closed down for 10 days at 4 o'clock this morning, the El Paso airspace.
00:00:49.000
By 9.30, they had opened it up and said they took care of it.
00:01:02.000
And the crown prince of Iran on with us, which may be the reason why Torch was under a DDOS attack during the show today.
00:01:11.000
It looks like it was a foreign power that was attacking us.
00:01:19.000
I don't know, but we must be doing something right.

One is preparedness and another is self-education.

So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:03:12.000
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:28.000
There's a reason why this show is different than other podcasts.
00:03:33.000
Because other podcasts are usually not done live at the same time every day.
00:03:38.000
Again, recording this podcast and doing it live on radio at 9 a.m. Eastern Time, 6 a.m. Pacific Time.
00:03:48.000
And when you're doing something live, things change during the show.
00:03:55.000
And I got in this morning and there are like several things that have changed overnight.
00:04:00.000
The biggest thing that has changed overnight, I think, is the information coming out of the government for El Paso.
00:04:08.000
Federal government drew a 10-mile circle over a major American border city and said nothing flies below 18,000 feet.
00:04:17.000
So your private jets, your bigger jets, everything like that are going to fly above 18,000 feet.
00:04:33.000
Temporary flight restrictions happen all the time.
00:04:36.000
The president travels, they shut down the airspace.
00:04:40.000
There is a wildfire, they shut down the airspace.
00:04:44.000
There is a hurricane, they shut down the airspace.
00:04:46.000
But that usually happens for a very limited period of time.
00:05:02.000
We look back in history and the only time we can see this happen was when it was happening nationwide and it was 9-11.
00:05:12.000
There is no other time in American history where a since World War II, that's as far as we went.
00:05:18.000
Since World War II, there has not been a single city shutdown of an airport for security reasons for 10 days.
00:05:42.000
Now, an hour ago, the government came out and said, Ricky, what did they say?
00:05:54.000
They lifted it within the last hour saying that everything was kosher.
00:06:06.000
A Trump official told Fox News that the lockdown came in response to Mexican cartel drones that breached U.S. airspace.
00:06:21.000
The Department of War took action to disable the drones.
00:06:24.000
The FAA and DOW have determined there is no threat to commercial travel now.
00:06:28.000
So what does took action to disable drones mean?
00:06:33.000
Um, and this was, my guess is, I mean, let me bring Jason in.
00:06:45.000
Um, and so I don't, I don't want to go too far out on a limb, but when I heard this, um, the, the thing that is important here is that El Paso is not just any city in Texas or America.
00:06:57.000
It is sitting right at the most significant border crossing in the hemisphere.
00:07:05.000
Fort bliss is a million acres, um, uh, for the army.
00:07:10.000
And it, what's really important about Fort bliss is it is the rapid deployment, uh, for joint mobilization force.
00:07:18.000
So when you're moving tanks or anything for the army, you have to move a lot of stuff.
00:07:41.000
The IRGC, the Iraqi Republican guard, um, the terrorist organization, they have been in Venezuela and in Mexico working with drug cartels, mainly with their proxy Hezbollah.
00:08:00.000
We have the crown prince of Iran on here in about an hour and 15 minutes.
00:08:08.000
Um, and you will hear from the crown prince, what he is expecting to happen in the negotiations.
00:08:16.000
And I will tell you my opinion as well on what I think is going to happen on the negotiations.
00:08:22.000
This is, this is president Trump just making sure that the world knows we tried everything we could to deal with them.
00:08:31.000
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
00:08:33.000
My first thought was, is this the drug cartels along with any kind of help or, you know, anything from Hezbollah or, uh, Iran doing a counter on us.
00:08:52.000
Could have just been a mistake, but I'm glad the Trump administration is all over this today.
00:08:59.000
Watch, watch, watch what happens in El Paso in the next couple of days.
00:09:09.000
Just all we're really left to do here is speculate because we were giving no information whatsoever.
00:09:17.000
The reason why that angle brings a little true to me is because Mexican cartels are not going to disrupt business in a way of, you know, provoking a U.S. military response.
00:09:28.000
On the largest, most pivotal corridor for them.
00:09:36.000
So to me, and I'll give you another counter to this, but to me, it makes more sense if you put a 10 day restriction on a timeline that there's a very specific threat that they were, they got, you know, forward knowledge of, and they were trying to get ready for it and get out in front of it.
00:09:52.000
Now, all of that, the counter argument, all of that blows up when you consider the moron card.
00:09:58.000
There is always a moron card, and someone could have just, instead of saying, we're responding to something, you know, in the immediate, you know, in the immediate, but instead of saying that they threw on the 10 day restriction for some random moronic reason.
00:10:16.320
So it's all possible someone's just, I can't, I mean, how does that possibly happen, Jason?
00:10:24.700
I mean, that hasn't ever happened except for nine 11 that has never happened.
00:10:29.320
So who would have the authority on their own just to go, I got closed airspace for 10 days.
00:10:41.900
I mean, who would do, who would have the authority to do that?
00:10:46.560
Yes, I would, I would say probably somebody in the FBI, or DOJ, something like that, that would transmit that to the FAA, or there could have been the moron card somewhere within the FAA that just clicked the wrong button.
00:11:04.340
But to me, it's a very specific threat, whether that's asymmetrical warfare they're getting ahead of before regarding Iran or whatever.
00:11:10.980
Or to me, they're just random cartel drones make zero sense because why provoke and screw up your business over a commercial drone to scout a route?
00:11:25.180
So I don't think the full story has been told, and I don't know if we will get the full story, but we'll definitely be watching it.
00:11:30.340
We have to start getting full, we have to get full stories.
00:11:34.180
We can't, we cannot operate in this secrecy anymore.
00:11:37.620
I want it secret for national defense, whatever.
00:11:40.100
But at some point, we have to know what's going on in our country because we just do.
00:11:47.960
You can't, you just, there's not enough trust in the country to just operate like this.
00:11:54.240
And luckily, I think on the side of conservatives, we still do, we gained our trust back for the military.
00:12:03.720
Hegseth has come in and set the military back on track.
00:12:06.640
And so we, we've regained our trust, uh, to some degree with the military, but we, it's not blind trust.
00:12:13.280
The good news is there's no national guard being deployed.
00:12:23.300
Don't know why could be an idiot card, uh, that somebody pulled the trigger too soon or too hard.
00:12:29.860
And, you know, closed it down for 10 days, but this one is, uh, puzzling to say the least.
00:12:40.860
Jason, do you think, can I go down a conspiracy road with you?
00:12:46.040
I know we have been trying to get the crown prince.
00:12:49.860
Ricky, I'd like you to try to chime in on this too.
00:12:51.880
We've been trying to get the crown prince for weeks, weeks.
00:12:55.680
Um, today is the day that everybody's meeting and Benjamin Netanyahu comes to the white house
00:13:04.240
Uh, and we're, we're going to be finding out if we could do a deal or not.
00:13:11.680
I mean, I can't imagine the deal that we could get that the president would go, okay, that
00:13:15.720
was worth them slaughtering 37,000 people and us just going, okay, I can't imagine that.
00:13:23.120
Um, I think this is just to, um, tell the whole world we've done everything we could.
00:13:29.900
We tried, we exhausted every Avenue, um, because we also cannot be responsible for the downfall
00:13:36.480
of Iran that has to be with the people, but we can support them and show them that, you
00:13:44.320
Um, is it a coincidence all these things are happening and then we get the crown prince
00:13:52.360
Do you want me to put my stew hat on or Ricky conspiracy theorist?
00:13:57.260
So, so, so stew, I know what stew would say, get over it.
00:14:04.980
I think it's interesting that one of the highest profile Iranian dissidents and critics of the
00:14:12.440
current regime who is, whose family is targeted for death, I'm sure by the regime tells you
00:14:20.980
at the end of the interview, which is coming up soon, we taped this yesterday, you'll hear
00:14:26.060
it shortly, that he was grateful to you for changing all of your social media avatars to
00:14:33.140
the original Iranian flag that existed before the regime came in.
00:14:38.600
He is the second Iranian dissident that you've had on this program that called that out and
00:14:43.640
said that people on the ground in Iran have noticed that you did that and they appreciate
00:14:51.060
What I didn't appreciate about that is that he basically just told the regime that you're
00:14:54.600
you're standing with the Iranian people and you just put a target on your back.
00:14:58.560
Let them, let them, uh, you know, right is right.
00:15:05.680
It was a little shocking that the way he handled me, it was like, oh my gosh, how do you, is
00:15:10.740
you remember, you remember when we were getting people out of Afghanistan?
00:15:17.780
Um, but, uh, we, the state department was putting up all these roadblocks.
00:15:29.340
Well, the prime minister of Pakistan at the time was about to be overthrown and he wanted
00:15:34.380
And so our group contacted him and said, Hey, can you help us get these people out?
00:15:40.920
And he said, I get a call like an hour later, Glenn, he said he would do it, but only if
00:15:49.980
And I'm like, how does he even know who I, what?
00:15:54.600
So we talked to him and he just wanted assurance that I would remind people in Washington that
00:16:01.100
he was, you know, he had helped us on some things cause he knew his time was limited.
00:16:05.380
Um, uh, it's weird how, I mean, I just, I just showed you last week our, our, uh, insiders
00:16:18.640
We had 36 nations, people in 36 nations that were listening to us around the world today.
00:16:26.460
I just counted the United nations has 193 nations in the United nations right now, as of week
00:16:35.440
number two with the torch, we have people in 142 nations listening to the show right
00:16:47.100
And it makes me very nervous because I looked at some of those nations and they are, you
00:16:52.120
know, sometimes designated as not being allies of the U S.
00:17:03.140
You're going to hear this interview, uh, coming up in, uh, just over an hour from now.
00:17:07.640
This is one you don't want to miss because I, uh, I'm a fan, but I'm, but I'm also, I
00:17:14.040
also had to tell him, you know, are you the guy?
00:17:16.800
Cause there's a lot of people on the ground that say you're not the guy.
00:17:24.380
And the whole interview can be heard at glennbeck.com.

00:17:57.840
to be good for a few washes and then they quietly fall apart.
00:18:00.780
That's why I have a lot of respect for American giant.

00:18:49.520
The two co-founders of Elon Musk's ex-AI have resigned.
00:18:54.940
They have not said why they're leaving, but they are the latest leaving from ex-AI that
00:19:03.400
leaves the firm with half of its 12 co-founders financial times have reported that this was,
00:19:10.020
uh, following some tensions that have been happening with the tech team over demands to
00:19:25.240
Uh, so two people have now resigned an extra two.
00:19:40.400
This guy is, he led the research team for Google Claude's chat box.
00:19:52.160
So this is the guy who is saying, we got to be careful.
00:20:00.120
He said he has explored things like AI assisted bioterrorism.
00:20:07.500
He wrote one of the first AI safety cases, but yesterday he posted that yesterday would
00:20:16.940
Um, it's painfully devoid of any kind of specifics here, but he hints at some intern, uh, internal
00:20:25.600
tensions that I think are very, very important.
00:20:33.080
First, let me tell you who this guy is AI founder, six years in the trenches, investor builder,
00:20:44.080
He says we are standing at February 20th or sorry, February, 2020.
00:20:57.400
A lot of people were not paying attention to it.
00:21:00.840
Most weren't, even though we were paying attention to it.
00:21:04.260
We were saying, I was saying, well, that's really bad.
00:21:11.420
Um, and I'm not sure you can contain it, but if it comes over here, we won't act the way
00:21:20.320
Toilet paper hoarders looked insane at the time.
00:21:24.840
Three weeks later, the entire world was different.
00:21:29.880
He says we're in that same phase right now, except this time it's artificial intelligence
00:21:39.780
He's like, we are weeks or months away from the entire world changing.
00:21:50.100
He watched AI from the inside, go from a helpful tool to an assistant, to a coworker to quote,
00:21:58.520
I describe the outcome in plain English and it builds the finished product.
00:22:03.920
While I go get coffee, no drafts, not suggestions, finished work better than he and his team are
00:22:14.040
He said on February 5th, new AI models were released that changed everything.
00:22:29.000
He said something that felt like judgment and taste and decision-making in his letter.
00:22:37.980
He describes telling AI to build an app and it wrote tens of thousands of lines of code.
00:22:44.400
It tested itself, fixed its own mistakes, and then only returned to him when it decided, okay,
00:23:03.500
Open AI has openly admitted the latest system was used to debug, test, and improve its own
00:23:16.320
And he said, progress here is compounding like crazy.
00:23:23.620
2022, it couldn't multiply or multiply correctly.
00:23:37.860
By 2025, top engineers were handing it most of their workload.
00:23:43.700
He said, now it executes multi-hour expert level tasks independently of any human.
00:23:51.400
And he said, the curve is doubling every few months.
00:23:55.820
What will it be able to do five months from now?
00:24:02.400
I will tell you, in my own work with AI and in my own exploration of AI, I've been on the
00:24:11.320
AI thing since probably 20, I'm sorry, 1980, at least since the 90s.
00:24:19.580
I've been warning of it, been fascinated by it, and warning, and told everybody, it's coming
00:24:32.100
I mean, the experts, I had the leading experts on with me from Google and Singularity University.
00:24:48.140
I mean, sometimes experts cannot see the world because they're so deep into all of the layers.
00:24:57.140
But if you can stand back and look at the big picture, sometimes, sometimes it becomes
00:25:06.500
Coding, he said in his resignation, was the first domino because AI needed to write code
00:25:23.660
You no longer need the people doing all of the research for law.
00:25:29.200
So the lawyers that we have right now, you're not going to have any up-and-coming lawyers
00:25:39.100
You don't need them to go and find all the case law and everything else.
00:25:45.800
But who are you going to replace the lawyers we have today?
00:25:55.100
How are you going to get the experience to be able to replace the experienced lawyers?
00:26:04.600
Judges, can you just execute what the law says?
00:26:08.960
Do you know that 10 years ago they were doing a research study?
00:26:13.580
I think it was in Israel, and tried an AI judge.
00:26:23.960
So now it's into law, finance, medicine, writing, analysis, consulting, customer service,
00:26:35.300
He's quoting now industry leaders predicting 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs
00:26:53.380
Within 12 months, 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs
00:27:00.440
could disappear between one to five years from now.
00:27:08.000
What do you think is going to happen to the economy if that happens?
00:27:11.960
What do you think is going to happen to the streets if that happens?
00:27:22.840
and they're never going to be able to get a job?
00:27:30.800
If your job is reading, writing, analyzing, or deciding on a computer,
00:27:40.840
He said people inside the industry are not predicting this now.
00:27:56.440
he said most people are judging AI based on outdated versions.
00:28:02.600
You're judging it on the free tier tool that are long gone from now.
00:28:08.160
He said the gap between public perception and reality is now dangerous.
00:28:16.020
First, the guy from Anthropic, he's leaving because he's warning.
00:28:21.360
And he's saying, look, this, what's happening is coming really fast.
00:28:31.100
And he's like, we're seeing it already, but you're not.
00:28:34.620
You have to pay attention to what is now happening at the companies
00:29:01.300
it understands your question and can give you the right answer.
00:29:05.180
You don't have to ever think, am I asking this the right way?
00:29:07.980
And just the technology to give you the right answer that understands
00:29:14.060
what you're looking for is enormous computing power.
00:29:20.320
Think of everybody over the world, all over the world using this.
00:29:22.860
Do you know how much compute power is being released to the public
00:29:32.500
That means 90% is being held by the company to make new products,
00:29:46.220
So imagine, imagine just the compute power of everybody asking it stupid
00:30:07.880
He also says, this is the greatest empowerment tool ever created.
00:30:20.140
No, but it's, it's bringing porn into our kids.
00:30:23.980
It's doing all kinds of things to our families.
00:30:26.160
That's because that's the way humans are using it.
00:30:31.140
The internet gave you access to the world's library in your pocket.
00:30:42.620
Now you couldn't build before you could write a book, land launch apps.
00:30:47.460
The best tutor on earth is now $20 a month, but only, he says, only if you engage.
00:31:09.440
Teach your kids to adapt instead of going to college and saying that career is set for you.
00:31:18.060
He says the richest institutions on earth are pouring trillions of dollars into it.
00:31:28.400
It's not an interesting dinner conversation about the future.
00:31:33.700
It just hasn't knocked on your door yet, but it is coming.
00:31:38.280
And he says, I'm just telling the people I love before the knock arrives at their door.
00:31:53.800
Let me go to Jack Masova, who is a Turning Point USA contributor, host of Human Events Daily.
00:32:04.700
I'm sure you're not going to take all the credit.
00:32:06.020
But I would say that you were the guy who said, we should do a halftime show.
00:32:14.180
I'm sure there were other people involved in that.
00:32:19.820
Well, Glenn, thank you so much for that and all of your praise in the past couple of days and your support for it going into it.
00:32:27.860
I may have been the guy who said, we should go ahead and do this and kind of got the ball rolling.
00:32:34.360
But ultimately, I would say the inspiration for the Super Bowl halftime show was Charlie himself, because Charlie was always, for years, even back before Turning Point really got off the ground.
00:32:48.200
And we were pulling up old tweets and just remembering old conversations that we had had where he was constantly going on.
00:32:54.140
He said this, the way they were doing the halftime show at the Super Bowl is becoming so just a scene of debauchery.
00:33:03.320
And then more and more increasingly, it was not putting America at the center, our virtues and our values at the center.
00:33:11.500
And we found a clip, actually, because we would talk about this off air all the time.
00:33:14.700
And we found a clip, and I'm sure there's more, but the one that we found was from a couple of years back where he was saying the halftime show should be the virtues that you want to extol throughout the nation.
00:33:25.480
Because this is the pinnacle of a cultural event that you know is going to have the most eyeballs year on year.
00:33:40.920
I mean, this is the biggest calling card every year in the world.
00:33:47.120
And I got to believe, if I was an enemy of the United States and I watched that, I thought, these people are about to implode.
00:33:54.540
When you don't have a word of English spoken during the halftime of Super Bowl, that tells you something.
00:34:01.300
And it seemed to me almost to be like a hostile takeover.
00:34:14.080
And going back to a word that we used before, where they want to go global, because this is what the NFL wants.
00:34:26.780
And predominantly, when you're talking about a Hispanic audience, Spanish-speaking audience, they don't watch American football as much.
00:34:38.220
And what they're trying to do from a monetary perspective, from a fiscal perspective, which, by the way, from a pure capitalist perspective, I don't have a problem with trying to expand your audience.
00:34:48.360
But don't do so by denying, dividing, and canceling the core of what we were built on in the first place.
00:35:04.980
And Hank Williams Jr. used to be the opening song, the iconic song, Are You Ready for Some Football on Monday night.
00:35:14.240
And we saw NASCAR do this when they went woke in search of a broader audience.
00:35:24.100
And that's just all of this is what drove me to say we have to do it.
00:35:33.120
I have to tell you, Hank found out, just a side note, Hank found out about him being canceled on Monday Night Football,
00:35:44.420
And he picked up the NFL guitar, you know, the one that he had.
00:35:55.240
And he smashed all of them in this rage while he was listening.
00:35:59.140
He picked up the last one, and he was about to smash, and he went,
00:36:04.780
About a year later, he gave me the only Monday Night Football guitar that's left.
00:36:21.040
So, I don't know if you saw my monologue yesterday.
00:36:25.280
I talked about how this was a brilliant version.
00:36:33.120
Because people were saying, that's a stupid move, blah, blah, blah.
00:36:39.760
I mean, you know, when you have 30 million people online within 24 hours watching it,
00:36:50.860
I've heard the NFL tried to get you guys not to do it.
00:37:00.640
We say, I knew that this would be, and Kid Rock himself came up, Bob came out and said,
00:37:10.760
Because I knew that by picking a fight with the biggest cabal in America, bigger than the
00:37:19.620
We're talking corporate America, the biggest sports event in the country.
00:37:25.180
The most money that goes into this thing because it has the most cultural power that we were
00:37:32.280
going to, that we were going up against the, we were going up against Goliath.
00:37:36.620
We were just literally going up against Goliath.
00:37:41.400
I don't think we realized the ways that they can get you, the ways that they can gatekeep
00:37:49.780
Now, look, I'm not going to sit here and say that I, that, you know, I have an email from
00:37:54.420
Roger Goodell that says, you shall not do this, right?
00:37:58.280
They're a hundred, they're going to, they're going to do it clean.
00:38:00.020
But everybody knows, and this is the way that these elite events work, is that it's a trickle
00:38:05.060
down system, but they, they're all connected through the sponsorships, the advertisers,
00:38:09.660
the venues, the musicians, the music rights, the labels, because we had, Glenn, we had times
00:38:16.700
where artists would tell us, love to do it, can't we?
00:38:19.840
Because when you start one of these things, of course, you cast a wide net.
00:38:25.620
We only had three months to be able to even do this.
00:38:28.400
So, and then when it comes to venues, oh, we'd love to do it.
00:38:31.320
We have availability, but then something would always happen, Glenn, somewhere along the
00:38:35.860
line of that conversation with, I want to say a very large percentage of people we talked
00:38:40.240
to suddenly it was, oh, you know, something came up and we just can't do it or, oh, we
00:38:46.480
And then they play games with the rights to the songs as well, where the artists, because
00:38:52.080
the publishers and the licensors have the song.
00:38:56.060
This is, of course, people know publicly this is what happened with X, and I could talk
00:39:00.840
about that too, is they would say, you know, you can have that artist, but they can't play
00:39:07.460
this song, this song, this song, and this song.
00:39:09.220
Or if you play it, you can't broadcast it on X.
00:39:13.100
Or there were even, I'll just say, there were stuff that we wanted to do and that we had
00:39:20.080
artists who wanted to do that we were told at the last minute that you are not permitted
00:39:26.520
And this is something where we would have gotten, and they would have sued us tens of
00:39:33.140
millions in liabilities where we had had permission from so many people that were close to it, but
00:39:40.480
somewhere back in the office, someone says, no, Turning Point USA with Posobiec and Colved
00:39:50.340
And there were, I'll even tell you, there were some emails that we got that were actually
00:39:53.400
not so pleasant too, about, you know, hey, we, you know, real sorry about what happened
00:39:59.520
to Charlie, but we don't want to do business with you.
00:40:09.880
You know, of course we can't say that definitively, but we know what's going on here.
00:40:13.240
So it's amazing if you hadn't, if I hadn't have lived through this, I would maybe have
00:40:19.500
a hard time going, well, you don't really know.
00:40:21.280
Now, trust me, what he's saying is absolutely right.
00:40:25.140
I mean, uh, you know, I, I had a deal with, I think it was either Warner brothers or Paramount,
00:40:30.040
a movie deal for the Christmas sweater, 2 million books, easy done.
00:40:36.820
I think we had two, two, uh, companies bidding against, uh, get me against each other for the
00:40:43.220
The minute the, the, the white house got involved, it was actually Van Jones got involved.
00:40:48.720
Uh, and all of a sudden it was like, uh, yeah, we own the rights, but we're not going to do
00:40:53.980
You're like, what do you, what do you, what do you mean?
00:40:56.860
Um, and this happens all the time in our world, but it only happens Jack, when you're making
00:41:04.080
a difference that that shows how terrified they were of this.
00:41:08.800
And I'm telling you next year, make it bigger, make it better because you will slowly bleed
00:41:15.620
You're not going to hurt the, the football part of the super bowl.
00:41:19.860
Cause that's unique to the NFL and nobody can replace that.
00:41:23.240
But if you hurt them pre-game halftime post-game, they can't charge all that money.
00:41:30.960
I mean, it, it will really hurt the NFL really hurt.
00:41:36.160
And they're going to say, no, it doesn't affect us at all.
00:41:38.600
Believe me, five years from now that they're freaking out now, five years from now, they'll
00:41:45.920
Well, I can tell you by the way, that I, I did have a source that, um, uh, through one
00:41:51.520
of the NFL, just sort of a, you know, marketing department, kind of a firm that they use who
00:41:57.060
was telling us they, they're pure, even that night that they were furious, absolutely furious
00:42:06.220
And then it becomes the number one, actually the X, you know, not being able to stream on
00:42:10.680
X actually helped us with YouTube because it drove all those people to the YouTube audience,
00:42:15.980
So it becomes the number one, number one U S stream in American history, number two,
00:42:23.520
YouTube live stream worldwide, ever, ever more than the world cup, uh, more than, than
00:42:29.920
any other sporting event, entertainment event, you name it.
00:42:32.780
The only thing I actually looked this up, the only live stream that was, that was more
00:42:37.100
was when India landed their lunar probe, you know, a couple of years ago, going up against
00:42:46.060
I said, I said, of course I said, well guys, next year, obviously, you know what this means.
00:42:55.680
With, with maybe the prime minister of India, um, people are, people are saying that, uh,
00:43:08.860
Well, you know, if, if, if people think that was true, which number one, I don't even know
00:43:13.440
how to do, but if that were true, then, then please go ahead and do your own and show us
00:43:16.920
how it's paid for, or just go ahead and beat us, go beat us tomorrow, right?
00:43:20.280
Just go out and pay for the, you know, and that's, that's what's really, if it, if this
00:43:23.800
were able to be done, which by the way, Glenn, we, we were talking to YouTube the entire
00:43:28.460
night, they were telling us, they were checking in, they can see this on the backend.
00:43:32.020
They can see the heat maps about where the, you know, the, the, the audience is coming
00:43:36.500
from it's, it's just, you know, they would know what, what traffic, because YouTube of
00:43:41.180
course has, has, uh, you know, because they have advertisers, so they can't, you know,
00:43:47.480
if they're selling fake traffic to their advertisers, then they're committing fraud.
00:43:53.360
And they never once reported a single issue like that to us.
00:44:06.860
And likewise, by the way, Glenn, I don't know if you remember, but quick story on Christmas
00:44:10.720
sweater, uh, 2006, I think, uh, if I remember correctly, when you brought the Christmas sweater
00:44:16.560
to the Kimmel center, you and I were backstage there together before you went up on the, uh,
00:44:33.280
I was, uh, no, uh, Christmas sweater was the year before I went to Fox.
00:44:52.620
Well, hey, Glenn, you, you showed us how to do it, man.
