The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Justin Haskins ｜ 10⧸23⧸26

00:00:00.000 wait a minute hold that stop the presses we just found out lindsey graham is gay

00:00:12.060 who would have seen that one coming i got a few things to say about that story also an ilhan

00:00:19.820 omar update apparently that's not her name and now the proof is starting to be in the pudding

00:00:26.980 Democratic candidates and the judges, what are they saying?

00:00:31.020 Are they actually, are the ones who are running now for Senate, are they willing to add more?

00:00:37.660 Yeah.

00:00:38.260 Wait until you hear this news.

00:00:39.660 And Justin Haskins, he's our republic president and senior fellow, and he has a book out called The Next Big Crash.

00:00:48.780 And it's, well, he's talking about AI.

00:00:52.220 And there is a crash that we should be concerned about that involves AI.

00:00:57.280 All of that and so much more.

00:01:07.940 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:16.160 Okay, so the Federalists went down this list.

00:01:18.720 Every major Democrat running for Senate asked the question,

00:01:21.620 And will you add seats to the Supreme Court?

00:01:24.040 And let me start here. 1.00

00:01:25.380 In Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan said plainly in a debate, yep, going to add seats.

00:01:31.640 In Michigan, El Saeed asked if he favors expanding the court.

00:01:36.620 Yes, but fairly.

00:01:39.300 Oh, yes, but fairly.

00:01:41.880 What does that mean exactly?

00:01:43.620 In Maine, Troy Jackson told Susan Collins he's not against putting more people on the court

00:01:49.320 because this court, he says, works for Donald Trump.

00:01:53.280 Oh, my God.

00:01:57.480 In Texas, James Tallarico says, well, I can discuss it.

00:02:01.960 Really?

00:02:02.940 Okay.

00:02:04.200 In Georgia, John Ossoff said in 2020, he said,

00:02:09.120 you just don't expand the court because you disagree with a justice.

00:02:12.820 Now he's saying, well, I won't rule it out.

00:02:16.580 Several others just wouldn't reply.

00:02:18.860 One Democrat, Chris Pappas in New Hampshire, said no.

00:02:22.000 He said it'll be a never-ending tug of war.

00:02:24.840 He's right. He's right.

00:02:28.120 And last month, he still voted with 204 other House Democrats

00:02:31.820 against a constitutional amendment to keep the court at nine.

00:02:35.280 So, what is this?

00:02:38.900 What game are we playing here?

00:02:42.500 This is extraordinarily dangerous. 1.00

00:02:45.220 This is the last barrier between us and a banana republic. 1.00

00:02:52.600 This is it. 0.98

00:02:53.980 And I would be saying that if we were saying we have to pack the court.

00:02:58.140 It's bad.

00:02:59.860 Very bad.

00:03:01.240 Imagine a ball game where every time the home team loses a call, it gets to add another empire of its choosing.

00:03:08.680 The visitors win, and then the next season, they add three more empires.

00:03:13.960 Within a decade, there's 229 umpires out on the field and nobody believes a single call.

00:03:20.140 That's not reform.

00:03:21.380 That's the end of umpires.

00:03:23.960 And that's how it happens every single time.

00:03:28.640 A court only works because it doesn't change when you change your vote.

00:03:34.700 It has to, you know, I have to tell you.

00:03:38.680 if you happen to vote a different way from me

00:03:44.580 I want you to listen carefully

00:03:45.740 do you know how many times this Supreme Court

00:03:47.980 the one that works for Donald Trump has pissed me off

00:03:50.220 over and over and over again

00:03:54.080 over and over and over again

00:03:57.520 you know how I know that

00:04:00.840 it's close to following the Constitution

00:04:04.840 when their decisions piss me off sometimes and make me celebrate other times.

00:04:12.360 Because the way I read the Constitution, the way it was written,

00:04:16.740 sometimes there are things I really want to do.

00:04:19.620 The Constitution won't let me do it, but I really want to do it.

00:04:22.460 And when they say, no, you can't do that, the Constitution,

00:04:26.200 the Constitution pisses me off, but I live by it.

00:04:31.080 Then there are other times where I'm like, yes, sirree.

00:04:35.700 Here comes the Constitution to the rescue.

00:04:39.260 So if you're expecting to not be pissed off by the Supreme Court, you're living in a fantasy land.

00:04:46.200 Okay?

00:04:48.420 The minute you agree with everything that the Supreme Court does, it's just a third legislator in robes.

00:04:54.820 That's it.

00:04:56.360 Your rights to speak, to worship, to keep your guns, to be left alone,

00:05:00.600 They last exactly as long as the last election.

00:05:07.620 Today's majority packs it, tomorrow's repacks it.

00:05:12.660 13, 17, 21.

00:05:17.020 How many justices do you need?

00:05:22.180 You know, a constitution that means whatever the newest majority on the bench says it means is not a constitution.

00:05:30.140 That's a mood ring.

00:05:32.080 That's all that is.

00:05:34.820 Plenty of Americans cannot stand Donald Trump.

00:05:38.860 I get it.

00:05:40.280 I don't agree with you, but I do get it.

00:05:43.200 I get it.

00:05:46.860 I'm not going to tell you your feeling isn't real, but a vote is not a protest sign.

00:05:52.740 It's a hire.

00:05:54.480 Nobody hires a babysitter because they couldn't stand the last babysitter.

00:05:59.060 And that's exactly what people are doing.

00:06:02.400 If by not voting or by voting because you really despise somebody, it's like you're hiring a babysitter.

00:06:11.440 And you're only hiring one because she hates the last babysitter that you had.

00:06:16.940 That doesn't make her a good babysitter. 0.97

00:06:20.780 You want to know what she's going to do when you're not home. 0.93

00:06:24.580 Not how she feels about the other babysitter.

00:06:27.520 Yet more and more Americans on both sides will vote mainly against somebody.

00:06:35.800 And the politicians all know it.

00:06:37.960 They know it.

00:06:39.240 If your only question is, are you against him?

00:06:42.260 They never have to tell you what they're for.

00:06:45.900 That's why so many of them won't answer the court question.

00:06:49.280 They don't have to.

00:06:50.460 Did I tell you I'm against Donald Trump?

00:06:53.000 Your anger does all of the campaigning for them.

00:06:56.060 and do the math on this hire. Donald Trump leaves office in January, 2029. A senator elected two

00:07:03.620 weeks from now serves until January, 2023, or sorry, 2033. Can't believe we're there already.

00:07:11.320 Nobody packs the court while Donald Trump holds a veto pen. So the vote against Trump isn't really

00:07:17.420 aimed at Trump at all. It is aimed at the four years after he's gone. And the person who walks

00:07:24.380 into that Senate, carried by your anger, will still be sitting there long after your anger is cooled.

00:07:33.860 The year is 1866. Abraham Lincoln is dead. The man in the White House is Andrew Johnson. He's

00:07:40.080 stubborn. He's crude. He's picking a fight with everybody in town. He's horrible. Congress doesn't

00:07:46.120 just disagree with him. Congress despises this guy. So there's an open seat on the Supreme Court

00:07:52.400 and Johnson sends up a respected lawyer from Ohio.

00:07:56.040 The Senate never even takes it up.

00:07:57.960 Instead, that summer, Congress passes a law shrinking the Supreme Court.

00:08:03.140 And every time a justice dies or retires, the seat isn't filled.

00:08:07.400 It just disappears until the court is down to seven.

00:08:13.640 Okay, there were other hands on that bill.

00:08:15.740 The chief justice wanted fewer colleagues because he wanted a raise.

00:08:19.520 Okay.

00:08:20.480 But the result was simple.

00:08:22.180 Andrew Johnson served nearly four years and never put a single justice on the court.

00:08:27.980 Then Johnson leaves, and Ulysses S. Grant, their man, took an oath March 1869.

00:08:35.580 Five weeks later, Congress raised the court back up to nine.

00:08:39.680 That's where the number nine comes from.

00:08:42.340 The number both sides now defend like it was scripture was said at the moment,

00:08:46.580 we hated a president.

00:08:48.000 The minute he walked out the door, we said it to nine.

00:08:52.180 Shrink it when you can't stand the man.

00:08:54.400 Grow it when your man, you know, is in.

00:08:58.740 Nobody was reforming the court.

00:09:01.200 They were aiming it at one person.

00:09:05.200 The Supreme Court should never be a gun.

00:09:08.100 It's not a weapon.

00:09:12.080 The Ohio lawyer whose seat vanished, Johnson made him attorney general.

00:09:16.900 Two years later, when that same Congress impeached Johnson, he resigned to help defend him.

00:09:22.180 Johnson survived by a single vote.

00:09:26.220 Hatred that hot never stops at one tool.

00:09:29.360 They'll do anything.

00:09:32.420 Now, listen to Troy Jackson again. 0.57

00:09:34.780 Add seats because this court works for Donald Trump.

00:09:38.600 That's 1866 with the arrows reversed.

00:09:42.060 Designing the highest court in the land because how he feels about one guy.

00:09:46.660 what saved the court after 1869 it was not a law it was restraint when roosevelt tried to add six

00:10:00.740 justices in 1937 because the progressives couldn't get their stuff through who stopped him

00:10:06.820 it was his own democratic party that stopped him the power you hand your friend today is the power

00:10:15.420 your enemy inherits tomorrow. And for a century and a half, enough people in both parties remembered

00:10:22.680 it. You know, El Saeed, he's right about the Constitution. It doesn't say nine. Congress does

00:10:29.960 set the number. And Democrats will tell you Republicans played hardball first. You remember

00:10:34.760 Merrick Garland? Remember that? They didn't even hold a hearing. Then they rushed Amy Coney Barrett

00:10:40.820 in there four years later people were already voting okay we don't get to pretend yes bent the

00:10:49.620 calendar called it principle the other side wrote it all down they'll also tell you justices need

00:10:56.800 real ethics rules okay love to have that but every one of those arguments is an argument for a rule

00:11:05.500 an ethics code term limits passed the hard way by amendment so it binds both parties the same way

00:11:15.120 you want to change the constitution do it by amendment the founders are not ruling from beyond

00:11:22.660 the grave the founders knew we're going to change our mind on some of these things we'll find a

00:11:27.240 better way or we like we did when we did prohibition against alcohol we might have a moment of passion 0.93

00:11:34.860 and then we go, uh-oh, that was a stupid move, and we can reverse it. 0.98

00:11:38.920 And you leave the scars and all in the Constitution. 0.99

00:11:42.560 It's the amendment process.

00:11:44.360 You want to get rid of the president, then amend the Constitution.

00:11:48.040 You want a unicameral system, amend the Constitution.

00:11:52.160 Because it will take all of us, both sides,

00:11:56.080 it will take Republicans and Democrats to do it.

00:12:00.200 That's what our founders wanted.

00:12:02.260 Well, we can't get anything done.

00:12:03.940 well then maybe you should leave it alone

00:12:06.540 and you should find a way

00:12:08.600 to bring people back together

00:12:10.780 but just saying

00:12:13.060 I want a unicameral system

00:12:14.840 I'm going to add justices

00:12:16.720 to the Supreme Court

00:12:17.800 do you think that's going to unite us

00:12:20.500 or separate us

00:12:21.940 is there anyone saying

00:12:23.400 hey I'd like to bring water to this firefight

00:12:26.360 you know you don't

00:12:31.460 You don't add seats with 51 votes.

00:12:36.600 You don't.

00:12:38.020 Because you don't win.

00:12:40.560 You're granting yourself a license to burn the building down.

00:12:45.580 So why does this election matter?

00:12:48.780 Why does this election, if you care about the Republican, you're saying, I'm not going to vote.

00:12:52.780 I'm just so mad.

00:12:54.340 I'm mad too.

00:12:56.560 We're all really mad.

00:12:58.660 That's one of the problems.

00:13:02.460 The guardrails in this country are not made of stone.

00:13:06.340 The guardrails in this country are made of people, and people are flawed.

00:13:14.040 Every Senate seat filled this November is a vote on whether we still have senators who know some things that you don't do.

00:13:24.120 Even though you can, you don't do it.

00:13:31.460 Every candidate, every party, one question.

00:13:36.700 You're going to keep the Supreme Court at nine, yes or no?

00:13:39.460 If they're open to a discussion, no, no.

00:13:44.620 I won't rule anything out.

00:13:46.460 That's an answer, but my answer is no.

00:13:50.140 I'm not going to tell you.

00:13:51.660 Why?

00:13:52.440 Why? 1.00

00:13:53.260 You want to have a 51 vote and then go ahead and put more seats on the Supreme Court?

00:14:00.520 can I play this out with you? What happens after that? What happens when half the country says

00:14:05.860 you've just made us a banana republic? Because that is the legitimate charge. 1.00

00:14:14.420 And then check yourself before you mark down that ballot.

00:14:18.460 Never let hate, never let hate make your choices for you. You never do that. If you're married to

00:14:26.180 a good woman like I am, my wife will say, you're mad. You're mad. Don't do it. Don't make that 0.95

00:14:31.240 call. Don't send that text. Don't send that. Don't go vote. You're mad. You can't vote on what you

00:14:39.160 hate. You can't let your anger rule. The moment it does, it owns you. In a marriage, in a business,

00:14:46.800 in a country, it owns you. In 1866, Congress let its hatred of one man rebuild the Supreme Court.

00:14:56.180 In 2026, the question isn't how you feel about Donald Trump.

00:15:00.700 It's whether you love anything more than you hate him.

00:15:07.580 More in a minute.

00:15:11.600 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:18.620 You know, there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have.

00:15:21.800 You walk into a bedroom, you take one look at your kid and go, yeah, he's getting sick.

00:15:25.720 You don't need a thermometer.

00:15:26.820 You don't need a doctor.

00:15:27.580 You just know, right?

00:15:29.380 Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part.

00:15:32.420 The hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug.

00:15:36.820 The pharmacy is out of the medication they need.

00:15:39.100 And now you're driving all over town hoping somebody has it in stock.

00:15:42.860 That's why I advise you prepare before the first cough starts.

00:15:47.240 The Kids Case from Jace Medical provides physician-prescribed emergency medications and antibiotics designed specifically for your children.

00:15:53.920 And you can also include essentials like albuterol, EpiPens, Zyrtec.

00:16:00.440 So when a school germ makes their annual appearance, you're not scrambling to find out what your family needs.

00:16:05.680 You already have it.

00:16:07.000 And having it when you need it, when the time comes, gives you true peace of mind.

00:16:21.200 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:16:23.920 let's start someplace light any idea what you think where we're headed with this election

00:16:33.400 oh no does anyone know i don't know i so you know on the one hand you look at poll numbers

00:16:42.960 you can't trust poll numbers we know that from the two trump victories right but you look at

00:16:48.400 the poll numbers and you say well you have psychopaths like james tallarico seem to be

00:16:52.840 doing pretty well in the polls yeah but you know what jay is jason in the studio still um no of

00:16:58.540 course not of course not the one time i need the man he's out you know going tinkle um but he was

00:17:04.120 just giving a poll uh here or some actual results on the uh early vote here in texas republicans

00:17:11.240 are way ahead and they're saying in red counties here in america or sorry in america well it's

00:17:16.820 kind of like that here in texas um in red counties here in texas it is presidential levels of voting

00:17:23.700 no i know and you know i'm a new england guy originally from new england don't hold that

00:17:27.820 against me but yeah i know you do but in the the new hampshire governor race which nobody's talking

00:17:33.920 about the republican is running away with it running away with it in vermont in vermont the

00:17:39.480 republican is running away with the gubernatorial race so when you look at those things you say well

00:17:45.200 that doesn't really fit with the poll numbers that we're seeing in texas so how does that how

00:17:50.240 does that make any sense i don't know i you know what if it goes badly in texas i blame it on the

00:17:55.420 californians i blame it on all the californians that moved to texas because there's no way that

00:18:02.420 these poll numbers can be right without it so um justin is a um a co-author of mine we have done

00:18:09.020 three books together no not even no sorry it's been it's been four it's been four okay

00:18:14.240 this cute little effort on my part wasn't it um uh and he is uh the our republic president

00:18:22.160 senior fellow at great research has great research team behind him um and he has done a book that i

00:18:29.040 was like i can't i can't i can't talk about the great collapse it's coming the next big collapse

00:18:33.940 I can't do it.

00:18:35.480 The name of the book is The Next Big Crash,

00:18:38.320 and it is about conspiracy collapse

00:18:40.360 and the man behind history's biggest heist.

00:18:44.100 And you are focused right now on AI.

00:18:49.140 Yes, I'm very worried about it.

00:18:51.460 But in a different way than most people.

00:18:53.620 You economically are worried about

00:18:56.080 that this thing is so far over leveraged.

00:18:58.440 Well, I mean, I'm worried

00:18:59.420 that it's going to destroy humanity too, don't?

00:19:01.620 Yeah, no, no, I know, I know.

00:19:02.800 We've talked about that. Before that, I'm worried about a big economic disaster.

00:19:07.940 Suicide light, suicide light. Okay, I'll try to back that down. We'll save that for another time.

00:19:13.320 The singularity and all that. Yes, what I'm concerned about is that there is a ton of data,

00:19:18.720 a ton of data, not just one thing or, you know, not crazy third party reports, IMF reports,

00:19:25.460 fed reports that are saying look at all of the debt that ai is now dependent on look at how small

00:19:35.520 the number of customers are that these big ai firms that are all built on debt are dependent

00:19:40.300 all the way they're giving it all away and um just to give you one example of this that just

00:19:46.000 came out recently uh there was a report came out earlier in october from the federal reserve bank

00:19:51.720 of Kansas City. And it talked about, it analyzed all these AI firms and how dependent they were

00:19:58.300 on debt. And what they found was that many of them, tons of them are running on 80 to 90% debt.

00:20:07.920 So they are not actually producing products that people are buying. They're just going into debt

00:20:13.820 and using that as cashflow. And they get more and more cashflow and they just burn the cash

00:20:19.320 on the business, but they don't actually make any money. They're literally dependent almost

00:20:24.400 entirely on debt. In the first half of 2026, $330 billion in investment grade bonds, that's debt,

00:20:34.600 was produced. That's 10% of the total investment grade bond that was issued. It was 2% in 2023.

00:20:44.300 So, of the total market of a debt that's going into investment-grade bonds, so big corporations, people investing in corporations, 10% of it, it's multiplied by five times in just the past three years.

00:20:57.480 And so, how much debt does this all amount to?

00:21:00.100 This is the really scary thing.

00:21:03.000 JP Morgan says, investment-grade debt alone, just for 75 AI companies, $1.2 trillion in debt.

00:21:09.080 That's how deep in debt they are.

00:21:11.520 But that doesn't account for it.

00:21:13.480 Leases, purchase commitments, guarantees, promises that they've made to these other companies contractually.

00:21:19.760 They owe them, you know, like they're going to put up a data center somewhere.

00:21:23.000 They've already made the contract for it.

00:21:25.040 So they owe them that deal already.

00:21:27.240 When you add all those things together, UBS, Big Bank, says it's $3.5 trillion in debt.

00:21:35.720 $3.5 trillion.

00:21:36.720 That's only half the spending of the United States government for a year.

00:21:39.520 So I went back and looked.

00:21:41.000 So how bad is that, really?

00:21:42.560 when Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns went under when they went under together they had 900 billion

00:21:51.200 dollars in debt this is 3.5 trillion dollars in debt when TARP the total cost of TARP all the

00:22:00.200 money that the federal government spent on TARP to bail out the entire financial sector when that

00:22:05.000 crashed 960 not even close 443 billion really and this is 3.5 trillion dollars of debt and we're

00:22:14.040 just talking about the ai companies not the companies that are doing business with the ai

00:22:18.500 companies that have their own levels of debt so we're talking about trillions and trillions and

00:22:23.860 trillions of dollars all hinging on ai actually working out soon so then so wait wait wait what

00:22:31.780 What does soon mean?

00:22:33.480 Well, that's the problem.

00:22:34.820 The problem is nobody knows.

00:22:37.420 So, I mean, they're betting on it happening within a year or two is what a lot of investors are doing.

00:22:42.200 That there's going to be this huge boom and there's going to be tons of revenue pouring in and maybe that will happen.

00:22:46.880 But what's the revenue plan?

00:22:48.920 I don't know.

00:22:50.040 Does anybody know?

00:22:51.160 It seems like they're all just waiting for widespread adoption from all the different corporations.

00:22:58.480 They're all going to integrate it in their systems and then they're going to make lots of money.

00:23:01.780 But how? Because you're integrating, I mean, I know lots of companies that are integrating AI into their systems, but not a lot of them are paying very much.

00:23:12.380 Right. And that's the problem. That is exactly the problem. And it's only going to get worse.

00:23:17.820 Because what's happening is you have China, who's coming in and undercutting all of these US companies. 0.96

00:23:23.620 They're stealing IP and then they're just undercutting them. 0.98

00:23:26.100 then you have open source ai which is free and they're building ai open source ai models that

00:23:32.080 are free and that's going to undercut all these businesses as well this is why i think that they

00:23:36.140 are trying to scare the hell out of people and they're trying to say we have to have all this

00:23:40.660 regulation because they know that open ai that's all free and able to do things now they didn't

00:23:48.380 buy into all that debt they waited and waited and waited and now they can they can produce the same

00:23:53.620 kind of stuff at a much lower cost without any debt and it's free and i think the big boys are

00:24:00.680 like we need the protection of the government we need you to set up rules to shut those guys down

00:24:06.020 because they will collapse that yes they'll collapse they don't have the debt i would go a

00:24:11.340 step further and say that i think monetary policy almost entirely now is being driven by this ai

00:24:19.420 bubble. I think the reason the Fed has not cut rates, we've talked about how cutting rates makes 0.97

00:24:25.400 a lot of sense. The data historically does not show that when you cut rates, it has this huge

00:24:31.320 inflationary effect. That's just a myth. It's not true. Why are they raising rates when we have all

00:24:38.260 these problems? The government can't afford the debt. We know that. So they're raising rates.

00:24:42.000 Government can't afford to pay it back. So why are they doing that? Why are they pushing it up?

00:24:46.100 Why? Because I think they know that if they actually cut rates, this massive $3.5 trillion plus AI bubble that already exists, that's already a problem, and I'm sure they're worried about it, will only get bigger. What would happen if the Fed came out tomorrow and they cut rates, slash rates?

00:25:04.180 the stock market go through the roof

00:25:06.200 and everybody will start

00:25:07.300 the bond yields would collapse

00:25:09.200 so easier to get more debt

00:25:10.820 and the bubble just gets bigger

00:25:12.160 and bigger and bigger and bigger

00:25:13.700 and they know that this is a problem

00:25:16.020 they can't come out and say that

00:25:17.160 because then they could cause a panic

00:25:18.560 but I believe that that is exactly

00:25:21.100 what's motivating this

00:25:22.220 so let me say something awful

00:25:25.620 Donald Trump likes debt

00:25:30.300 he doesn't have a problem with debt

00:25:31.600 yep why wouldn't donald trump look at this and go all right so they go in debt it's four trillion

00:25:39.420 dollars no big deal that's you know a year's worth of what we're spending now anyway take it on but

00:25:45.560 we get the companies do you based on what donald trump has done so far does that seem like something

00:25:51.560 that he would uh-huh do yeah it does it does it scares the hell out of me it's very it's very

00:25:58.380 disturbing. And I think that this crisis with bond prices, which bond yields, so the interest

00:26:07.600 that companies and the treasury has to pay to get people to invest, this has been skyrocketing

00:26:13.600 recently. And as this keeps going up, remember, these AI companies, 80, 90%, they're running on

00:26:21.480 debt. Debt's getting more and more expensive as the yields go up, right? That's the interest

00:26:25.980 they're paying at some point investors might say i don't think you're getting your money back i don't

00:26:31.340 i don't think i'm gonna get my money back here and then all of a sudden you have a crisis because

00:26:36.320 you have people that are companies that are running on debt already deeply in debt need more debt

00:26:41.900 have to give more in interest just to keep the doors open and then all these other financial

00:26:48.760 companies and everything else that are dependent on this size companies are we are we talking google

00:26:52.780 and all of them in that kind of debt?

00:26:56.220 They're all to varying degrees.

00:26:58.860 Yeah, the sort of mid-sized ones,

00:27:01.780 the top like four or five

00:27:03.240 are probably better off than others.

00:27:05.620 But Google and Apple and some of those ones,

00:27:07.660 they've got other business lines

00:27:08.760 that they're making money on.

00:27:09.840 Right, right, right.

00:27:10.300 But some of them don't,

00:27:12.200 like Anthropic, OpenAI, et cetera.

00:27:14.300 They're primarily just running on AI.

00:27:17.920 That's what they're doing.

00:27:18.780 That's their whole purpose, right?

00:27:20.620 And so if the whole,

00:27:21.840 if it becomes too expensive to continue financing the AI industry with debt and investors become

00:27:27.820 convinced they're not going to get their money back, that it's going to create this like death

00:27:31.820 spiral and it will drag all these other financial companies and third party companies down with it.

00:27:36.900 And you're looking at a, like I said, $3.5 trillion plus problem. This is like the 2008

00:27:43.400 financial crisis. Like that's what we're 10. Yes. That's what this is. Uh, okay. All right. Possibly.

00:27:51.840 maybe no no don't step off the chair yet he said possibly he said possibly maybe all right

00:27:58.500 i'm just saying i would come back because uh i want to talk to you specifically about next year

00:28:04.140 and what you're seeing on finances and how this all works in with the with what's happening in

00:28:10.920 the globe because i i have this feeling 2027 is not going to be necessarily a good year

00:28:17.980 You know what I mean?

00:28:18.800 Depending on how things fall, it could be a very tough year.

00:28:23.060 Now, we could get to the other side of this year, and all the wars could stop.

00:28:28.340 Russia and Ukraine, they're meeting, they're talking.

00:28:31.260 Same thing with Iran. 0.92

00:28:32.980 Looks like that's now ready to be solved. 1.00

00:28:35.540 That could change everything.

00:28:37.800 But with this in play, let's talk about the other side.

00:28:42.700 We'll do that here in a second.

00:28:44.520 You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck.

00:28:46.240 To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts wherever you get podcasts.

00:28:52.500 Well, we have some breaking news now.

00:28:58.460 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:29:01.120 Hello, Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea.

00:29:05.460 Shocker of all shockers.

00:29:07.760 Some news coming in in an October surprise.

00:29:11.620 Yes, breaking news.

00:29:13.520 A new document.

00:29:15.100 Come here.

00:29:16.240 hang on hang on the teletypes are getting awfully loud here can we

00:29:22.640 no can we may i let me walk away from the teletype just a bit here and

00:29:30.320 still not still not far enough away from it can we all right stop can we i got the

00:29:39.600 tell can i walk away a little bit further away from this can you see what i'm trying

00:29:43.200 Why am I suddenly wearing heels?

00:29:46.700 I... 0.81

00:29:47.540 Meant for Mrs. America and all the ships at sea, shocker of all shockers,

00:29:52.480 a new documentary alleges that the late Senator Lindsey Graham was indeed gay.

00:30:01.160 Yes, I said it.

00:30:02.760 Now, thanks to real gumshoe journalism, the Young Turks say they can prove that Lindsey Graham, 0.95

00:30:09.520 The man who we all thought was just a run-of-the-mill old gay old bachelor 0.55

00:30:14.720 Apparently was not a bachelor after all 0.97

00:30:17.400 And on top of that cake, the real icing 0.99

00:30:20.100 The senator was apparently gay 0.95

00:30:22.500 But not in the way we all thought of gay 0.93

00:30:25.060 Rather, in that newfangled sort of gay 0.91

00:30:29.100 In other news, water is wet, the Pope is Catholic 0.58

00:30:32.380 And man in New Jersey has just found out that wrestling is now staged

00:30:36.380 The film has come out from the Young Turks

00:30:39.040 who also broke the news, I hope you're sitting down,

00:30:41.820 that Lindsey Graham died over the summer.

00:30:45.820 His sister Darlene was appointed to his seat,

00:30:47.980 and when the filmmakers cornered her, she said

00:30:50.360 she wasn't even going to entertain the question,

00:30:53.960 which I think in South Carolina is how you say, bless your heart.

00:30:58.840 One of the men closes the film by blaming the senator for your gas price.

00:31:04.500 This journalist has heard a lot of theories about $6 diesel,

00:31:07.600 but that one's new.

00:31:09.040 Say, Senator, is that a gas hose in your pocket?

00:31:12.940 Talk about putting a tiger in your tank, huh?

00:31:16.760 This simple reporter is now hearing the same team of journalists

00:31:19.660 is closing in on evidence that Donald Trump has, on occasion,

00:31:23.500 posted something mean after midnight, possibly while sitting on the throne.

00:31:28.160 Sources say Joe Biden may have been old,

00:31:30.480 Bernie Sanders, we're told, has reservations about billionaires,

00:31:34.420 and the Senate is slow and in a shocking exclusive.

00:31:37.080 We expect to hear in another October surprise, cable news networks will admit they lean left.

00:31:46.320 Okay, can we, can... 0.99

00:31:48.140 For the love of Pete, Lindsey Graham is gay. 0.99

00:31:53.880 I am, well, I think I have a case of the vapors. 1.00

00:31:57.260 I am just shocked by that news.

00:32:00.320 Nobody's shocked by that, not his friends.

00:32:02.420 his enemies aren't shocked at the people of south carolina who sent him to the senate

00:32:07.380 you know 1400 times i mean that that rumor in washington has been going around in washington

00:32:14.360 for so long it has its own parking space for the love of pete and every time it came up he brushed

00:32:21.620 it off and every time america went uh-huh uh-huh you know just kind of nod to go yeah yeah i know

00:32:27.980 I know. Yep, yep, yep, yep. It's kind of like when your Aunt Barbara comes to Thanksgiving

00:32:32.740 and she introduces her roommate of 31 years. Helen, lovely woman, wonderful pecan pie. They

00:32:41.180 share a cat, you know. We all know. And none of us cared. None of us cared. See, this is the point.

00:32:53.120 Here's point number one. I got lots of points to make. Here's point number one. What you do in

00:32:57.580 your bedroom is your business. When you start trying to tell me that I have to embrace what

00:33:04.760 you do in your bedroom, then it's a problem. I don't care. I don't care. You know, the only

00:33:12.820 people in America still capable of being scandalized by a gay Republican are the progressive 0.98

00:33:18.140 filmmakers. I think that's it. They're the last church ladies we have left. Well, I gotta tell 0.72

00:33:24.560 he was gay 1.00

00:33:26.500 no 1.00

00:33:27.320 no

00:33:29.420 now I guess the film's

00:33:32.460 real you know

00:33:34.720 argument is hypocrisy

00:33:36.320 hypocrisy

00:33:41.500 really

00:33:42.260 really

00:33:42.900 if hypocrisy is

00:33:46.320 the story in the

00:33:48.500 capital now

00:33:49.380 you're going to need a bigger 1.00

00:33:52.340 camera young Turks to get that 0.99

00:33:54.460 one that building is 90 hypocrisy by volume exposing a hypocrite and congress is like 0.97

00:34:01.340 coming out and say uh we just we'd like it more breaking news there is salt 0.99

00:34:05.980 in the ocean no i mean geez

00:34:12.820 one of the three men says he was 17 and if that's true then it's not a story about a closet

00:34:21.320 there's a story about a poor kid and a powerful man and the word for that isn't gay but it's also

00:34:27.060 an allegation that's one man's memory from a night a quarter of a century ago against the

00:34:34.340 man who's been in the ground since july and cannot litigate it how i mean do you want this to happen

00:34:41.700 to your life do we have i mean the same people who this week are saying i can't believe that

00:34:48.460 ramaswami is using a mother it's an allegation that is six years old it's everybody's alive

00:34:55.540 everybody can defend their point of view you can't bring family into this really didn't you just ask

00:35:02.460 senator graham's sister about the allegations that he can no longer answer for

00:35:09.140 see this was all just about they actually thought this would affect

00:35:13.840 president campaigned for graham's sister this week election is 12 days away film just came out

00:35:21.800 a dead man can't sue can't answer dead man can't vote well no dead men can vote if you're a democrat 0.99

00:35:28.860 this is this is such a stupid and sad honestly a sad story first of all let me give you a little 0.99

00:35:38.280 history here because we've been here before like 190 years ago two senators moved into a 0.99

00:35:45.860 Washington boarding house James Buchanan of Pennsylvania and William Rufus King of Alabama

00:35:52.180 and it was a house full of unmarried congressmen they called it the bachelor's mess

00:35:58.240 and one by one the other bachelors lost their seats and moved out but Buchanan and King stayed

00:36:03.860 And the two of them stayed living together in that house for 10 years.

00:36:08.580 Washington wasn't fooled, by the way.

00:36:10.920 The story goes that Andrew Jackson called King Miss Nancy.

00:36:16.340 Okay, not really nice.

00:36:17.680 How's Miss Nancy?

00:36:19.180 Okay.

00:36:19.920 First Lady remembered the pair years later as the Siamese twins after, you know, Chang and what was it?

00:36:25.740 Chang and Ang.

00:36:26.620 Do you remember those guys from the Guinness World Record book? 1.00

00:36:29.780 You always see those, the Chinese. 0.92

00:36:31.120 Anyway, you don't get a nickname, you know, for splitting the rent.

00:36:37.040 Tennessee congressman writing to the woman who would soon be his first lady tore into Buchanan and said his better half.

00:36:47.480 Okay, Buchanan didn't have a wife.

00:36:49.580 Everybody knew who his better half was.

00:36:52.140 1844, King was sent to Paris as an ambassador.

00:36:55.280 Buchanan wrote to a friend that he was now, you know, solitary and lonely.

00:37:02.700 And he had gone on, this is a quote, gone on to wooing several other gentlemen and struck out with each of them.

00:37:10.100 Everybody knew.

00:37:12.860 The same letter, he figured he might eventually marry some old maid who could nurse him while he was sick and cook a good dinner for him when he wasn't sick. 0.73

00:37:22.860 All right.

00:37:25.280 this was, can we stop with this?

00:37:32.040 This is, to me,

00:37:35.160 I mean, we had this story in the Civil War

00:37:39.540 and nobody cared at the time.

00:37:41.680 Mostly because everybody was too polite to say anything.

00:37:46.500 You know what I mean?

00:37:47.840 Not because we approved of it or disapproved,

00:37:50.380 because it wasn't ours.

00:37:51.520 can we stop making everyone's bedroom the story first of all i thought you were against outing

00:38:00.260 of people no no no that's not hypocrisy when you do it here's the really sad thing living a secret

00:38:09.660 always costs you it always always costs you a cover story charges rent for the rest of your life

00:38:18.940 And I don't know. 1.00

00:38:20.280 Lindsey Graham may have paid that rent for decades. 1.00

00:38:22.760 I don't know. 1.00

00:38:29.360 So to the young Turks, congratulations.

00:38:31.740 You spent a fortune to confirm what every waitress in every diner, you know, in South Carolina would have told you for the price of a sweet tea, sweetheart.

00:38:43.040 but i have to tell you the larger point is not missed here you've took an effort and you tried

00:38:57.660 to affect this election and in reality this is a really incredibly cruel move

00:39:05.680 all done in the name of politics you are such heroes aren't you 0.98

00:39:10.660 because it's all politics that's the that's what the young turks you think they did this because

00:39:18.320 they cared they can't understand why a lifelong christian may see same-sex attraction as something

00:39:27.080 to try to overcome and so they laugh at the idea they scoff at the idea they use it for politics

00:39:33.300 but it really isn't funny in the end it's not funny i'm not making fun of lindsey graham i'm

00:39:38.020 making fun of them, that they actually thought this would affect anything.

00:39:47.400 And they actually thought, while lecturing us about not involving family in Ohio, releasing

00:39:54.280 this and trying to say, no, no, the point is about hypocrisy.

00:40:00.240 Really?

00:40:01.260 Well, you're an expert on it.

00:40:02.980 You would recognize it, I guess.

00:40:08.020 lindsey graham cannot answer for himself i'm not a fan of lindsey graham i never have politically

00:40:17.280 i'm not but is it possible that lindsey was trying to resist what he believed to be a sin

00:40:24.340 and failed like all of us fail in whatever it is that we're trying to overcome

00:40:30.740 and now after his death they try to turn this sin that he may or may not have seen as a sin

00:40:40.340 he said he was a christian may or may not have seen as a sin may or may not have tried to be

00:40:45.360 fighting but now they've taken whatever it is that he was not announcing and making it his identity

00:40:53.600 identity. I'm sick of the left deciding for us because they've adopted a worldview that says

00:41:06.640 how we feel is our real identity. Well, you don't know how he felt. And that includes everything

00:41:15.460 that we ever want to do.

00:41:19.700 They can't imagine

00:41:20.960 not doing something

00:41:23.160 that feels right to them

00:41:25.220 because God said so.

00:41:27.260 And I'm not saying

00:41:28.540 that that's what Lindsay was,

00:41:30.600 but he cannot defend himself.

00:41:35.440 He can't tell you

00:41:36.660 what business is this of ours.

00:41:42.760 And they can't relate to that,

00:41:44.500 But that's the whole walk for a religious person.

00:41:47.500 I have made some horrible mistakes in my life. 0.97

00:41:51.600 Horrible.

00:41:53.020 I have fought horrible demons in my life.

00:41:57.700 And as of today, I have conquered them.

00:42:01.780 But I don't think that they're forever conquered.

00:42:04.840 They could come back and I could fail tomorrow on these things.

00:42:08.940 And I fail every day on other things.

00:42:12.020 But what I do or don't, especially when you don't know anything about him, you don't know anything, and he is not here to defend himself.

00:42:31.240 you know religious people we happen to believe there are things that we shouldn't do even if

00:42:43.880 we really want to do them and that's not just about who you're attracted to there are lots

00:42:52.160 of things that i want to do but i don't because it violates my faith i struggle against it every

00:43:00.320 single day. And it doesn't even have to be a religious struggle. I'm an alcoholic. I got to

00:43:10.080 tell you, in the last couple of years, there have been days that I have been so close to drinking,

00:43:13.940 it's been crazy. But that's the valiant struggle of life.

00:43:30.320 it doesn't mean that he was a hypocrite 0.66

00:43:38.380 it doesn't mean that he was a sinner 0.66

00:43:42.380 although we all are

00:43:43.660 this means he was a person

00:43:46.760 because we all sin

00:43:48.600 we all make mistakes

00:43:50.180 we all do things that we hide

00:43:52.340 we all are embarrassed about certain things

00:43:54.700 whatever

00:43:55.100 remember like him all of us

00:43:57.840 we all have a vision of who we should be and sometimes we fail to get there but that doesn't

00:44:03.740 mean he shouldn't have tried it doesn't mean that we should embrace our struggle as our identity 0.93

00:44:08.400 that's all between you and god and once again the left and the young turks have proven that they do

00:44:17.980 not respect that relationship between you and god this is all between him and god and i have

00:44:26.040 great faith that both of them are going to work it out. You're listening to the best of the Glenn
