00:00:30.000You don't want to miss the first broadcast of the Glenn Beck Program of 2025.
00:00:35.920We go over and give you perspective, different perspective, and the things that are really important about the Las Vegas bomber and the manifesto.
00:00:45.520Also, the story of the guy who blew up his cyber truck in front of the Trump Hotel.
00:00:52.260And have we reached the AI point of singularity?
00:02:15.420You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:27.320So there's a lot that has happened in the last couple of weeks since I've been gone.
00:02:32.280And I want to start with the terror attacks.
00:02:36.580But I want you to know there is a theme to today's show, January 6th.
00:02:40.280January 6th, the theme is, you've been lied to, and it is time for us now to sort through everything and find out what's true and what isn't true.
00:02:52.520So let's dive into something that we begin with.
00:03:12.560And those in the know that have kept the truth hidden from us, not just from you and me, but from the very people sworn to protect our way of life.
00:03:23.280So let me start with the source of what I'm going to tell you about.
00:03:27.660It's a manifesto that comes from the guy who was claiming to be a whistleblower.
00:03:34.200He claimed to be a man on the run, hunted by his own government, he said.
00:03:38.100He blew himself up, apparently, in a Tesla near the front door of the Trump Hotel in Vegas.
00:03:48.220He said because the government has been lying to us.
00:03:52.400I'm not going to give you the guy's name because I don't want to make him famous, and I hate, we usually don't read manifestos on the air, and I'm going to give you the summary of it.
00:04:03.420But if any of this is true, it needs to be released.
00:04:08.660We need to stand up and say, we need to know the truth on this.
00:04:13.560Because if what he's saying is accurate, it changes everything.
00:04:19.960Now, if you read the manifesto, he talks about gravitic propulsion systems.
00:04:43.020It's a concept that defies all current physics.
00:04:47.680But it's not without precedent in speculative science.
00:04:52.500Now, what this means is, no combustion engine, no jet fuel, no sound barrier, just seamless, silent motion at unimaginable speeds.
00:05:06.080The kind of technology that makes radar, heat signatures, and even conventional missile defense systems completely obsolete.
00:05:14.380Now, I know this sounds crazy, but there was a very little-known announcement, kind of, that happened over the weekend that no one is talking about.
00:05:31.340And it is the biggest news story of possibly all human history.
00:06:09.940That if this is true, silent, undetectable aircraft capable of carrying massive payloads launched from submarines that can remain undetected just miles from our shores or even up above the White House and no one would know.
00:06:29.660Now, he claimed that he had direct knowledge of these programs.
00:06:35.920He says they have been used in China for years, conducting intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance operations.
00:06:46.400He says these gravitic systems are integrated with that same network, and they form a system of surveillance that is so advanced.
00:06:55.960He says it makes our current intelligence look like carrier pigeons.
00:07:01.900So, he says that these are the greatest national security threat in history.
00:07:08.580And if we do have gravitic aircraft, or China does, he is absolutely right, because it would bypass every single defense system that we have.
00:07:21.600Imagine an aircraft with an unlimited payload capacity, a floating fortress, invisible, undetectable, capable of delivering weapons or conducting surveillance, parked over our capital in D.C.
00:07:40.820That would be checkmate if it was true.
00:07:43.940That's the reality that this whistleblower says is there.
00:07:50.900But it also, in the manifesto, he dives into the past, into what he says is a dark chapter of the U.S. military history.
00:07:59.780He alleges involvement in war crimes during airstrikes in Nimru's province in Afghanistan in 2019.
00:08:07.460According to him, 125 buildings were targeted, 65 struck, resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths in a single day.
00:08:15.780Now, he says that the strikes continued even after civilians were spotted knowingly and deliberately.
00:08:25.320However, we do know that the United Nations invested, this event did happen, and an investigation happened with the United Nations.
00:08:33.180He says it's all a cover-up, implicating the Department of Defense, the DEA, the CIA, and even high-ranking generals.
00:08:42.760So, he's not just talking about, you know, our national security of being challenged by advanced technology.
00:08:50.760He is also discussing the moral rot that comes from operating in secrecy.
00:08:56.700Even if, let's just say, none of this is true, this is allowed to take root because everyone has kept too much secret, and our government has lied to us.
00:09:15.640Now, he went on to say he believed he was being hunted, not just followed, but actively pursued by his own government, tracked by Homeland Security, the FBI, or some other federal agency.
00:12:16.220That's the balance, very delicate, that kept the world from annihilating itself.
00:12:23.440This technology in the wrong hands or even the right hands obliterates the balance unless we have it as well.
00:12:32.000It introduces a new kind of stealth, warfare where speed, stealth, and payload capacity make any conventional deterrence absolutely worthless.
00:12:43.240Now, if China has this technology, should we have been told?
00:13:03.520His plea, which I don't ever go into manifests and uphold somebody, and I'm not upholding him and his message and saying that his message is true except for this part.
00:13:21.400He was calling for transparency, demanding that the American people be told the truth about all of these programs and their implications.
00:13:33.920He said that secrecy only increases the risk of catastrophic conflict, one that could escalate into global war.
00:16:38.900That is the way the founders intended it to be.
00:16:43.240So now, beginning January 20th, it is our time to hold them accountable.
00:16:49.860Those we think are doing our bidding, they must know we will hold them accountable, and we demand answers.
00:16:58.660This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:17:04.420Sam Altman wrote in a tweet on X just a few days ago, six words that I think change the world, and nobody understands it.
00:17:16.700He wrote, quote, near the singularity, unclear which side.
00:17:25.660Near the singularity, unclear which side.
00:17:28.760Meaning, we're either approaching it and are very, very close, or we've just passed the point of the singularity, and we're just on the other side.
00:17:38.340Another open AI researcher wrote, miss the days when we didn't know how to create superintelligence.
00:17:49.900I want to talk to you about the singularity.
00:17:53.240The singularity is something that I have been saying we would hit by 2030.
00:17:58.120People like Ray Kurzweil said we wouldn't hit it until 2050.
00:18:02.560Many scientists said we will never hit it.
00:18:05.300That's all in the past, now, or shortly will be.
00:18:09.700The singularity is when Moore's Law, this is the nicest version of this, Moore's Law, completely falls apart.
00:18:17.860Moore's Law is the chip law that it will double in power every two years.
00:18:22.740That line goes from a slope of every two years, which is incredible progress, to almost now a straight line up.
00:18:37.480I've told you in the past there will be times, as we approach 2030, where it will happen, technology will change so rapidly that you won't be able to keep up with it.
00:18:50.280There will be awe-inspiring stories out every single day, and you won't know the difference between truth and reality or science fiction.
00:19:03.960The idea of the singularity is reaching that moment with technology, a point where progress accelerates so rapidly, the world will change in ways we can barely imagine.
00:19:20.280It's the moment that humanity's technological growth moves from gradual and predictable to exponential and transformative.
00:19:31.100Changing the future in ways we cannot understand.
00:19:36.380Changing the future in ways our best scientists cannot understand yet.
00:19:43.560For most of human history, we have lived in a world that didn't change very much.
00:19:51.540A farmer in ancient Egypt lived surprisingly similar to the one in medieval Europe.
00:19:57.620Plowed the fields, raised animals, praying for rain.
00:20:01.460It wasn't really until the 1800s with the Industrial Revolution that things started to speed up.
00:20:06.540Steam engines replaced horses, factories churned out goods faster than ever, railroads connected our coastlines, we could sail the oceans.
00:20:17.640But still, progress was relatively slow.
00:20:19.920A person born in 1800 would recognize much of the world in 1900, even with the addition of trains and telegraphs.
00:20:27.860Those were things that were like, oh, wow, look at that.
00:21:21.480I think it was, you know, it was this king and he was in Persia and a poor farmer invented the game of chess.
00:21:29.000And the king was so impressed, he offered the farmer any reward he desired.
00:21:33.400And the farmer said, I just would like a single grain of rice on the first square of the chess board, then two grains on the second, four on the third, and so on, doubling the amount on each square.
00:21:47.340The king agreed, thinking, well, that's rather modest.
00:21:51.140But by the 20th square, the amount of rice is over a million grains.
00:21:56.960By the 40th square, the rice is more than the world produced in a year.
00:22:02.060And the king realized too late, oh, crap, and he was ruined.
00:22:07.460That's the story of the chess board and rice and exponential growth.
00:22:12.040Steady, small increases that suddenly snowball into something that is unimaginably vast.
00:23:04.100Our ability to understand and manipulate the world is being doubled.
00:23:11.280And we're at one of the last chess squares.
00:23:15.480The singularity is the moment when this doubling creates a future so radically different that you can no longer predict what's going to happen tomorrow.
00:23:28.840If the industrial revolution turned horses into steam engines, the digital revolution turned letters into emails, the singularity could turn humans into something different.
00:23:47.260It's not about faster gadgets or smarter AI.
00:23:50.220It is about the possibility of technology fundamentally transforming what it means to be a human.
00:24:01.360I've been on this bandwagon for over 30 years now.
00:24:04.600And I have begged that we look at the consequences of what is coming so we can have principled conversations of what is the meaning of life and death.
00:27:36.400The singularity, the moment when change happens so fast on such a massive scale that humanity steps into a new chapter of existence is here.
00:27:52.720This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:18.940So I was actually in my professional capacity.
00:29:21.280I'm the creative director for nonprofit America's Frontline Doctors and also GoldCare.com.
00:29:27.780And so I was working alongside of my colleague, Dr. Simone Gold, who founded Frontline Doctors,
00:29:32.160and was speaking out at that time against COVID lockdowns and medical misinformation.
00:29:36.860So we were there, part of a speaking tour along the East Coast.
00:29:41.520January 6th just happened to coincide with that.
00:29:44.040She wasn't speaking politically at that time, so her comment wasn't about the election.
00:29:48.400But, of course, we supported the constitutional concern that the 2020 election was problematic.
00:29:54.420And we were absolutely shocked to see what should have been a America first protest, as many have before, suddenly devolve into a confusing situation,
00:30:06.100which at the time was really just a couple of hours of mild confusion from our perspective.
00:30:10.900We got pushed in the building, which we didn't expect, and then we safely and calmly made our way out.
00:30:16.420And then in the ensuing days, you know, my front door was pulverized by a battering ram, literally, 12 days later with no warning.
00:30:23.960And I was assaulted violently by 20 armed officers in a FBI SWAT team raid that was fit for a drug cartel in downtown Beverly Hills.
00:30:31.480And my life was shattered and has never been the same ever since.
00:31:10.100That's a 20-year felony for, quote, unquote, obstruction of justice.
00:31:14.840But the actual title is tampering with a witness, evidence, or informant,
00:31:20.060which, of course, has nothing to do with my conduct or even the context of the day.
00:31:24.060And yet, ironically, is exactly what Liz Cheney did, committing a criminal felony offense in tampering with a witness on the J6 committee and obstructing and deleting evidence.
00:31:37.220But my legal charges were 1512C2, a felony, which I was vindicated and defeated at the Supreme Court, along with four misdemeanors related to being at the building and protest activity, essentially.
00:31:51.380So they charged me with those five charges, totaling 23 years of potential prison, and then offered me a golden parachute plea deal.
00:32:02.800If I would just bend the knee to the government and sign their confession, then I would only have a single misdemeanor, and it all would have been done behind me two years ago.
00:32:12.940I never would have gone to prison or a week, maybe, and I would have had a normal life, sort of.
00:32:18.560So what went through your head when they said, just plead guilty?
00:32:27.080I know me, I would say, absolutely not.
00:32:31.800But if I was looking at a 23-year-old, 23-year prison sentence, I know pretty much everybody in my family and myself, too, would be like, I'll be away from my children for 23 years.
00:32:45.200There's – I can't – I just want this to go away.
00:33:09.340And J6ers, our lives have been decimated.
00:33:12.680So it was the most painful choice I've ever made.
00:33:14.720But, Glenn, it was the simplest and easiest choice I ever had to make from the standpoint of crystal clarity that this was right and wrong, this was good and evil.
00:33:24.460And I had to stand up for what was right.
00:34:15.700Maybe I can get you back on tomorrow because I'd like to go in depth on what happened to you in prison.
00:34:22.160But can you take us just a short visit into what happened to you?
00:34:27.700Yes, real quickly, Glenn, I want to comment on something because I've heard you reference the idea of violent versus nonviolent offenders or nonviolent J6ers.
00:34:39.460And I posted on X that I think this is really a dog whistle to swallow the leftist narrative.
00:34:45.140And it's so important to understand what happened, what didn't happen, how it happened, and why it happened.
00:35:27.320But what I'm saying is that the vast majority of violence and even police conflict was instigated by the government against unarmed protesters.
00:35:41.200But I look at the people who are dressed in black masks, who were breaking out the windows, who did appear to have a violent or at least a destructive intent.
00:35:58.020Those people I separate from the people who walked in may have been caught up in a crowd where you're being crushed and, you know, police are just deeming all of you bad guys and are, you know, violating their own protocols.
00:36:13.880I think there's a very big difference between that and the people who went in with an intent to destroy.
00:36:19.860And you can just look at the people at the front of the Capitol, just breaking the windows.
00:40:15.660That is what the enemies are inflicting on us to undermine our foundations.
00:40:21.240And that's now seen in a corrupted justice system, a weaponized Gestapo, FBI, and everything else that's going on.
00:40:28.360And I agree with you that we are in a perilous position, but I have hope, Glenn.
00:40:34.480I have incredible faith and optimism in God and the truth of his word in the Bible, the Judeo-Christian foundation that was our original starting point in this nation that we must return to, that God would then heal our land if we humble ourselves, seek his face, pray, and turn from the wickedness of our ways.
00:40:52.760And I believe in that as a people, and we, the people, are supposed to choose our leaders and form our government.
00:40:59.080And we have a huge reclamation project to begin on, and that's what I hope to inspire people with.
00:41:04.920John, I'm going to talk to my producers.
00:41:06.940I'll try to get you on tomorrow as well.
00:41:08.980I'd like to go a little deeper in this.
