Summary

Glenn and Pat discuss the Joe Biden Whistleblowing scandal and how the media should be more like a "whistleblower" and less like a gossip monger. Also, quantum technology, global warming, and more!


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, podcasters. It's Glenn Beck and Pat Gray filling in for Stu.
00:00:04.400 We'll be back from vacation later this week.
00:00:06.360 Pat, we had a great, great show today.
00:00:08.020 We did.
00:00:08.580 Great show.
00:00:09.120 Some global warming talk.
00:00:10.720 There was some talk about algorithms replacing the United States Constitution.
00:00:15.120 What a great idea.
00:00:15.660 Nothing better than that.
00:00:16.440 Yeah, Joe Biden.
00:00:18.680 Joe Biden, boy, man, it's a good thing he's exposing that whistleblower
00:00:22.860 who, according to CNN, was just a gossip monger.
00:00:28.220 A guy or a gal who was either heard it from somebody in the bedroom
00:00:33.140 or heard it at a bar, but not at business.
00:00:36.520 It was a rumor that was going around.
00:00:38.660 Yeah, they said it happened away from work.
00:00:41.060 It's unbelievable.
00:00:42.560 Also, quantum technology.
00:00:44.960 Scary.
00:00:45.840 Really, really some amazing things to pay attention to today, all on today's podcast.
00:00:58.220 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:07.440 All right.
00:01:08.180 I want to talk to you a little bit about Joe Biden.
00:01:11.060 And last week, there was a whistleblower.
00:01:15.260 Now, that's an important word.
00:01:16.940 What is a whistleblower, Pat?
00:01:18.480 That's somebody who blows the whistle on something they just found out,
00:01:23.560 some secret that this, in this case, the Trump administration had.
00:01:28.780 Right.
00:01:29.180 And a whistleblower is on the inside.
00:01:31.180 Yeah.
00:01:31.580 And has special information.
00:01:33.640 Right.
00:01:34.000 Right.
00:01:34.400 They have access.
00:01:35.560 A whistleblower is someone who has access to information that nobody else has.
00:01:41.840 And because they have the access, they bring it out and say, look, here's the documents.
00:01:49.600 The tobacco companies knew the whole time.
00:01:53.320 That's a whistleblower.
00:01:56.540 What the press has been reporting on is not a whistleblower.
00:02:02.980 It's like a little old church lady that is involved in gossip.
00:02:08.080 That's what they had.
00:02:09.480 The whistleblower came out and said, do you know that the president spoke to the Ukrainian
00:02:15.420 foreign minister and threatened him, said he would retaliate if they didn't go and investigate
00:02:23.080 Joe Biden?
00:02:25.940 Well, that's pretty amazing.
00:02:28.460 And the whistleblower would be somebody then that had inside information, was standing in
00:02:34.280 the room, saw the transcript, somehow or another, had special information that no one else had.
00:02:42.060 And he went right from the Oval Office, right to the press and said, you have to understand.
00:02:47.960 I have this information.
00:02:49.920 I've got to blow the whistle.
00:02:52.600 But that, again, is not what happened.
00:02:55.620 What did happen, Pat?
00:02:57.040 Well, instead, somebody was apparently having a beer with someone else at the office, somebody
00:03:04.460 else who works with them in the office, and they were at the bar, or maybe they were in
00:03:10.200 bed, and there was a little pillow talk.
00:03:12.220 And the person who gave the whistleblower the information said, hey, you know what?
00:03:16.920 I guess Trump just called the Ukrainians and threatened him over the Biden thing.
00:03:24.440 Wow.
00:03:25.000 I'm going to go straight to Congress with that.
00:03:27.400 So this is secondhand information that this whistleblower has, and he took it to Congress.
00:03:33.400 And it was a rumor.
00:03:36.100 It was a rumor.
00:03:37.980 And it wasn't even done at work.
00:03:39.540 So it's not like one colleague said to another, we don't even know if they're colleagues at
00:03:44.080 all.
00:03:45.060 It might have been some lover.
00:03:46.440 It might have been just a friend at a bar.
00:03:49.120 And it's something that was gossiped about somewhere outside of work.
00:03:54.420 So we have now completed the circle of social justice.
00:04:04.680 You don't need any facts.
00:04:08.260 You don't need anything but a rumor.
00:04:11.960 Now, whose fault is this?
00:04:14.460 Well, this is the fault of really the media, because you know what a political party is
00:04:21.520 going to do.
00:04:22.080 If they can shop a rumor, they'll shop a rumor.
00:04:26.460 They just they're just trying to win and win at all costs.
00:04:29.520 They don't care.
00:04:30.520 They don't care.
00:04:32.240 So is it the Democratic Party's fault?
00:04:36.080 Well, kind of.
00:04:37.140 I mean, but that would be expecting them to actually care about the truth.
00:04:42.500 And I don't think either party, when it comes to the party, I don't think they care about
00:04:48.000 the truth.
00:04:48.560 They just want to win.
00:04:49.680 And so that's where a press needs to come in.
00:04:54.040 And the press comes in and they say, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:04:57.100 You have a whistleblower that says this.
00:05:00.140 Yeah.
00:05:00.820 What's the name?
00:05:01.820 Can't give you that.
00:05:03.080 Where do they work?
00:05:03.920 Can't give you that.
00:05:05.620 Well, how did it come about?
00:05:07.060 Can't tell you.
00:05:08.380 Well, did they do they have evidence?
00:05:10.440 Can't tell you that.
00:05:12.040 Do they do that?
00:05:13.880 Did they hear it?
00:05:15.320 Can't tell you that.
00:05:16.440 That's pretty solid.
00:05:17.320 Let's run with it.
00:05:18.540 I mean, that doesn't make any sense at all.
00:05:21.480 That's not the way you run a business.
00:05:23.420 That's not the way you run the press.
00:05:25.440 No one.
00:05:27.240 Pat, out of all of the things that we have exposed from Tides Foundation, Acorn, Van Jones,
00:05:36.660 Planned Parenthood, Google, anything that we have run.
00:05:41.620 Have we even have we even been close to that low standard?
00:05:47.200 Oh, no.
00:05:47.960 Never.
00:05:48.600 Because we can't.
00:05:49.660 We can't.
00:05:50.140 We can't.
00:05:50.800 We can't.
00:05:51.620 We would be just delegitimized or taken off the air completely.
00:05:57.200 One of the two.
00:05:57.640 I mean, that's Alex Jones stuff.
00:05:58.820 Wouldn't have any credibility.
00:05:59.660 That is truly the way Alex Jones runs his place.
00:06:03.820 Yeah.
00:06:04.020 Well, I mean, we've heard that there is a pizza thing and they've got children trapped
00:06:09.100 in the basement.
00:06:09.800 That is the same thing.
00:06:13.420 And instead of people coming in with guns, instead, your politicians go in with impeachment
00:06:20.400 papers.
00:06:22.220 Now, this is so this is so good for Donald Trump that it is almost as if the pillow talk was
00:06:30.440 happening between him and Melania.
00:06:32.360 Melania, you know, if you just went to the press, Melania, and told them that you you didn't
00:06:41.040 even hear it.
00:06:41.740 You just heard that there is a possibility that I was talking to the foreign minister of
00:06:47.640 Ukraine and I threatened him.
00:06:49.480 Darling, that's brilliant.
00:06:51.180 So she goes into you could you could make the case that this was a setup by Donald Trump
00:06:59.920 and the White House.
00:07:00.720 It's that good for him.
00:07:03.560 Now, you can only make the case if you do exactly what CNN and CBS and ABC and NBC did.
00:07:10.960 And that is just run with no facts.
00:07:14.400 I could make the case to them.
00:07:16.440 Would they print it?
00:07:18.140 I have.
00:07:18.780 What do you what do you have on that, Glenn?
00:07:20.340 Oh, no, no sources.
00:07:22.440 But I'm a whistleblower.
00:07:24.600 Oh, you're a whistleblower.
00:07:27.820 Yeah, I think I mean, Pat and I were having breakfast the other day and we were talking about
00:07:32.780 it and we had heard that Donald Trump actually told Melania in bed to act like a whistleblower.
00:07:42.480 Why won't you run with it, press?
00:07:45.760 They probably would.
00:07:47.100 Yeah, they probably would at this point.
00:07:49.020 This is crazy.
00:07:50.580 If it was anti-Trump, I think they would run with it.
00:07:53.440 They don't care.
00:07:54.720 They don't care.
00:07:55.880 They don't care.
00:07:56.500 You remember that Brian Stelter story where he had the guy on and they speculated for about
00:08:00.900 10 minutes that that that Donald Trump wasn't just colluding with that he was an actual
00:08:07.940 Russian agent.
00:08:08.920 Yeah, spy.
00:08:09.480 Remember that?
00:08:09.960 Yeah, he was he was he was a lifelong spy for the Soviet Union in Russia.
00:08:14.740 Yeah, because, you know, he was very close with Russia in his younger years.
00:08:19.260 Unbelievable.
00:08:20.100 What?
00:08:21.360 What?
00:08:22.620 They don't care.
00:08:23.180 Tom's budsman for for CNN, Brian Stelter, is is speculating that the president is an actual
00:08:32.940 Russian agent.
00:08:35.140 Wow.
00:08:37.220 So why did this happen?
00:08:39.980 Well, why it happened.
00:08:43.420 Is even more fun.
00:08:45.700 Why it happened is even better.
00:08:48.620 So why is this why is this happening?
00:08:53.820 Why is this happening?
00:08:55.660 Well, let me just give you let me see if I can find it here.
00:08:58.560 Let me just give you a quote from from Joe Biden about Iowa.
00:09:09.760 Mr. Biden, do you have to win Iowa?
00:09:14.900 Do we think we have to win Iowa?
00:09:16.660 No.
00:09:18.620 Do we want to win Iowa?
00:09:20.160 Yes.
00:09:20.580 Yes, we do.
00:09:21.540 We think we're going to win.
00:09:23.320 We know it's going to be a dogfight.
00:09:25.260 And the same thing is true in New Hampshire.
00:09:27.660 We don't have to win New Hampshire, but we'd like to.
00:09:31.400 Well, at some point, the front runner has got to actually be out front.
00:09:37.300 And the first two races, he's not out front.
00:09:41.400 The Biden campaign is starting to fall apart.
00:09:44.960 And I can't believe I'm saying this, but Elizabeth Warren looks like she may be the presidential nominee for the Democrats.
00:09:55.120 I can't believe.
00:09:56.540 Can you believe that?
00:09:57.520 No.
00:09:58.180 I thought she was done with the Pocahontas.
00:09:59.920 I thought so, too.
00:10:00.840 I thought, you know, a little pow-wow chow, and she'd be done.
00:10:05.760 Apparently not.
00:10:06.880 Apparently not.
00:10:08.240 So she is now leading the polls in Iowa.
00:10:12.380 He is in, I think, collapse.
00:10:15.300 He's at the very beginning of just full-fledged collapse.
00:10:18.880 And he's desperate.
00:10:20.180 Do you have the audio of him yesterday turning on Fox?
00:10:27.120 We have that.
00:10:27.960 We have that in the studio.
00:10:28.860 Here it is.
00:10:29.240 Listen up.
00:10:30.240 Mr. Vice President, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings?
00:10:36.100 I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.
00:10:38.760 And so how do you know?
00:10:39.780 Let's talk about it.
00:10:40.460 Here's what I know.
00:10:41.680 I know Trump deserves to be investigated.
00:10:45.140 He is violating every basic norm of a president.
00:10:48.720 You should be asking him the question, why is he on the phone with a foreign leader?
00:10:54.040 He's trying to intimidate a foreign leader.
00:10:56.100 He's not.
00:10:57.780 He's on the phone with a good point.
00:11:00.620 He's the president.
00:11:01.920 That's what they do.
00:11:02.240 They talk to other foreign leaders.
00:11:04.000 Right.
00:11:04.820 And intimidate, he didn't.
00:11:07.260 No.
00:11:07.640 That was a rumor not coming from a whistleblower.
00:11:12.120 That was a rumor.
00:11:13.300 The foreign minister of the Ukraine said, he never said that.
00:11:20.880 That didn't happen.
00:11:22.580 It didn't happen.
00:11:23.740 This is the birther story.
00:11:26.280 Yeah.
00:11:26.660 That's what this is.
00:11:27.600 They don't mind.
00:11:28.380 They don't care if they're lies.
00:11:29.880 They're outright lies.
00:11:31.660 And they just spew them.
00:11:32.780 The birther story started with Hillary Clinton.
00:11:35.320 It wasn't a Donald Trump thing.
00:11:39.000 I mean, he ran with it after, but it started with Hillary Clinton.
00:11:44.280 Now, so he says, we need an investigation on Trump.
00:11:49.840 Well, you've already had one.
00:11:52.280 Now, here's Lindsey Graham saying, you know, an investigation would be good.
00:11:56.380 Listen.
00:11:57.360 Joe Biden said, everybody's looked at this and found nothing.
00:12:00.760 Who is everybody?
00:12:01.440 Nobody's looked at the Ukraine and the Bidens.
00:12:05.420 Nobody's looked at the role the Ukraine played in the 2016 election.
00:12:09.180 Do you think the media in America would really look at it and report on it if there was something
00:12:13.600 bad for the Bidens or they unduly interfered in the 2016 election?
00:12:18.820 So here's what I'm calling on.
00:12:20.080 Yeah.
00:12:20.460 Calling for.
00:12:21.000 I'm calling for somebody in the Justice Department to look at all things Ukraine.
00:12:25.960 We've looked at all things Russia and Trump, his family, everything about his family,
00:12:31.660 every transaction between the Trump campaign and Russia.
00:12:34.980 Now it's time to see whether or not the Ukrainians released information regarding Manafort,
00:12:40.080 who is Trump's campaign manager.
00:12:42.040 What relationships, if any, did the Biden world have to the Ukraine?
00:12:46.420 What role, if any, did the Ukraine play in the 2016 election?
00:12:49.860 So nobody's looked at this, but somebody should.
00:12:52.860 So I'm hoping the Department of Justice will look at the Biden-Ukraine connection like we
00:12:57.440 looked at the Trump-Russia connection.
00:12:58.700 So you're.
00:12:59.340 All right.
00:12:59.720 Here's Mike Pompeo on what Americans deserve to know.
00:13:04.120 If there was election interference that took place by the vice president, I think the American
00:13:10.740 people deserve to know.
00:13:11.760 We know there was interference in the 2016 election.
00:13:14.600 And if it's the case that there was something going on with the president or his family that
00:13:20.060 caused a conflict of interest and Vice President Biden behaved in a way that was inconsistent
00:13:23.820 with the way leaders ought to operate, I think the American people deserve to know that.
00:13:28.420 All right.
00:13:28.720 Now, last one.
00:13:30.440 Here's Representative Devin Nunes on Biden.
00:13:34.360 The left knows that Biden's son is a problem for him.
00:13:38.340 This is why when Hillary Clinton was running, these stories first originated, first originated
00:13:43.360 back when Hillary Clinton was trying to make sure that Biden didn't get in the race.
00:13:48.460 So now that these have been resurrected, I don't know who came up with the scheme.
00:13:52.140 Maybe there really is.
00:13:53.080 This whistleblower is not a partisan.
00:13:55.460 I mean, we want it.
00:13:56.060 We want to hear from that whistleblower.
00:13:57.800 But it sure looks like the scheme has backfired.
00:14:01.160 And this, like I said, I think this is probably the end of Biden's campaign.
00:14:04.760 End of his campaign.
00:14:05.960 I really do.
00:14:07.000 I don't think.
00:14:07.560 I mean, not that he's he's still formidable.
00:14:09.840 He still has a block of support.
00:14:12.000 Yeah.
00:14:12.240 But if you look, his his lead is basically down to zero.
00:14:16.280 So let me start again or let me finish again with where we started.
00:14:22.780 Listen to him on the campaign trail when Fox asks him the question.
00:14:28.760 Have you ever how many times have you talked to your son about his business dealings?
00:14:34.720 Listen, Mr. Vice President, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings?
00:14:41.380 I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.
00:14:43.880 Stop.
00:14:45.400 He's never because his son.
00:14:49.080 Says the exact opposite.
00:14:50.800 So now, which one is it now, if you don't know about his business dealings, we did I think we did two shows on his business dealing and the first business dealings revolve around the Ukraine.
00:15:12.300 But the Ukraine is nothing compared to China.
00:15:16.900 But since we're talking about the Ukraine, we should probably we should probably go in and look at the Ukraine.
00:15:27.360 Joe Biden is was best pal with John Kerry.
00:15:32.160 This is in 2009.
00:15:33.340 And it happened just in time as Joe Biden was sworn in as vice president.
00:15:41.140 Their sons decide to get together.
00:15:44.000 Joe Biden or Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden and John Kerry's stepson, Christopher Hines.
00:15:50.660 Now, here's a father and son team that decide that the fathers should pal around and the sons should pal around.
00:16:00.680 So now, John Kerry and Joe Biden are pals.
00:16:05.940 Now, remember, this happened just as he's being sworn in as vice president.
00:16:11.040 John Kerry is going to be made secretary of state.
00:16:14.680 And the two sons get together and they decide we're going to go into business together.
00:16:19.480 They they bring in a third partner, the roommate from Yale, Devin Archer.
00:16:25.600 Now, Devin is a guy who co-chaired John Kerry's campaign finance committee when he ran for president in 2004.
00:16:33.860 So the the trio decide to do something none of them have any experience in whatsoever.
00:16:41.320 The three of them decide we're going to start an international private equity firm called Rosemont Capital.
00:16:49.340 And we're going to have several different branches, including one that's called Rosemont Seneca Partners with an office in Georgetown, which happens to be right down the street from John Kerry's mansion.
00:17:01.780 And then another one is right by Joe Biden's vice presidential home.
00:17:08.420 Now, it's important to know here.
00:17:10.780 That the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act does not prevent foreign companies from hiring or making special deals with children of U.S. government officials.
00:17:23.420 That law should be changed.
00:17:27.220 All right.
00:17:27.640 However, these business deals, man, they seem awfully shady and they happen to coincide, coincide, coincide with visits to the Ukraine from Joe Biden and John Kerry.
00:17:51.180 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:17:57.640 Hey, it's Glenn.
00:18:01.240 And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:18:05.200 His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:18:09.140 Let me give you a couple of briefs on a couple of stories that I found very interesting that I think you should have.
00:18:16.120 One, do you remember we started talking about deep fakes?
00:18:20.740 I don't know how long ago, five, six years ago at least.
00:18:24.260 And we we told you at the time you're there's going to come a day where you're not going to be able to believe your eyes or your ears.
00:18:33.260 You will not know what's real and what's not.
00:18:37.700 2020 is that year.
00:18:40.300 I've been saying this for a while.
00:18:43.740 Now, science is backing it up from CNBC manipulated images and videos that appear perfectly real will be accessible to everyday people in a year and a half.
00:18:58.360 I'm sorry, to half a year to a year.
00:19:01.440 Now, that's accessible to the average person.
00:19:04.740 It's still very easy today to you can tell with a naked eye most of the deep fakes.
00:19:13.020 But in six months, you will not be able to tell the difference.
00:19:17.620 This means that just in time for the campaign, China, Russia, anybody that wants to disrupt is going to be able to release a video of Donald Trump.
00:19:32.620 Donald Trump on the phone with Ukraine with the Ukrainian foreign minister saying, I'm telling you right now, we're going to open up our silo doors and we're going to bomb the snot out of Ukraine.
00:19:46.080 Unless you help me forge some some documents about Joe Biden and it will look absolutely completely real.
00:19:57.900 And somebody else will be able to come up with the video of Joe Biden in a secret lair somewhere underground in Georgetown with John Kerry going.
00:20:09.360 Yes, and then what we do, we we get China to give us all of the money and then we take over the world and it will look absolutely real.
00:20:23.760 And we will not be able to tell the difference.
00:20:27.340 We will be able to see a video of the mullahs in Iran, a smuggled video came out from a whistleblower.
00:20:41.140 And it will be the mullahs saying, yes, we target Saudi Arabia, we take down their oil industry and then we move to Israel.
00:20:52.160 And you will not be able to tell the difference.
00:20:59.120 By the end of 2020, by the time the next president is sworn in.
00:21:05.900 You will not know what's real and what is not.
00:21:11.720 There will be so much fake news, fake video, fake audio that you will not know who to trust.
00:21:22.160 I warn you of this because you must take your own life into your own hands.
00:21:33.840 You must not discredit yourself in any way, shape or form.
00:21:40.000 When I, when I was at the bottom, about 2005, I had been trying to, I had been trying to stay sober and I was sober, but I was, no, I was dry, but I was not sober.
00:21:58.680 And I could barely hold on to my sobriety.
00:22:01.500 And I had lost absolutely everything.
00:22:06.220 Even my best friend, Pat abandoned me.
00:22:12.780 Not true at all.
00:22:14.720 I did move.
00:22:15.720 You did move.
00:22:16.320 I did move.
00:22:16.880 But you begged me.
00:22:18.280 It should have been 1995 though.
00:22:20.460 1995.
00:22:20.780 Not 2005.
00:22:21.640 Oh yeah, I meant 1995.
00:22:23.120 Yeah, 1995.
00:22:23.620 Um, and I, I remember being down on the ground and I had lost everything and I remembered the only thing I wanted back was my credibility.
00:22:36.860 And because nobody believed me because I had done a good job of hiding who I was and my alcoholism and everything else.
00:22:47.880 And, uh, I just wanted my credibility back.
00:22:51.440 And I remember saying, I will not, if I'll do anything, just please, Lord, help me.
00:22:59.040 Help me get to a point to where I can look someone in the eye and say, this is truly what I believe.
00:23:05.360 And, and then believe me.
00:23:09.840 Um, let me be true, please.
00:23:12.880 I'll do anything.
00:23:13.920 And I've worked really hard on being that way.
00:23:18.420 Uh, and I, with everybody who counts in my life, I have credibility.
00:23:24.920 I hope I have credibility with you, but there's so much stuff out there now.
00:23:30.380 Who knows?
00:23:31.660 Your credibility matters with the people in your circle of influence.
00:23:37.360 My circle of influence.
00:23:38.680 You're not going to believe me or anybody else.
00:23:40.940 Look at how much damage has been done to people of all walks of life.
00:23:45.960 No matter who they are, they either have credibility and they shouldn't, or they don't have credibility and perhaps they should.
00:23:57.280 You don't know who to trust.
00:23:59.340 Only worry about your circle of influence.
00:24:04.680 Don't do anything to discredit yourself because that is going to be the only gold standard, I believe, in a year from now, about a year and a half.
00:24:16.340 Now, story number two.
00:24:20.920 Google has claimed now quantum supremacy.
00:24:25.300 They have marked a major milestone in a paper that was posted to NASA.gov earlier last week, and then it was taken down.
00:24:36.660 The Financial Times was the first to report the news.
00:24:39.740 A claim made in the new scientific paper from NASA.gov, the most serious indication that the promise of quantum computers, an emerging but unproven type of machine, is actually becoming a reality.
00:24:57.080 Again, we don't know.
00:24:59.700 This paper was taken down, and the word is that it was taken down because it was premature to publish and hadn't gone through all of the vetting process, so we don't know if this is true or not.
00:25:14.440 But the paper at NASA.gov claimed, while our processor takes about 200 seconds to sample one instance of the quantum circuit one million times, a state-of-the-art supercomputer would require approximately 10,000 years to perform the equivalent task.
00:25:38.560 So what it would take a supercomputer, the today's best supercomputers, 10,000 years, it took the quantum computer from Google 200 seconds.
00:25:51.300 Researchers in the paper estimate that performing the same experiment on a Google cloud server would take 50 trillion hours, too long to even be feasible.
00:26:02.440 But on the new quantum processor, it only took 30 seconds.
00:26:10.720 Again, 50 trillion hours to 30 seconds.
00:26:16.240 This is that singularity we've been talking about for many years.
00:26:19.940 Yes.
00:26:20.140 We're kind of there.
00:26:21.120 It's approaching.
00:26:22.400 If this is real, we are, if this is real, the algorithms, everything will change.
00:26:27.720 Everything will change.
00:26:28.560 Blockchain is over because quantum computing will be able to block.
00:26:34.400 It will be able to hack that.
00:26:36.660 Now, please tie this with a couple of other things.
00:26:40.160 There is a new list out from Comparatech.
00:26:44.480 It's a technology research firm.
00:26:48.140 And it shows which cities around the world are the most surveilled places in the world.
00:26:58.560 Number one, Chongqing, China.
00:27:03.080 Number two, Shenzhen, China.
00:27:06.660 Number three, Shanghai, China.
00:27:09.660 Number four, Taijin, China.
00:27:13.560 Number five, Jinan, China.
00:27:17.540 Please excuse the pronunciation of all of these cities.
00:27:21.200 Number six, London, England.
00:27:26.060 Number seven.
00:27:27.460 I think your pronunciation of that was way out of whack.
00:27:29.580 I know.
00:27:30.660 Wuhan, China.
00:27:32.400 Number eight, Guangzhou, China.
00:27:36.660 Number nine, Beijing, China.
00:27:39.260 Number 10, Atlanta, Georgia.
00:27:43.440 That's the most surveilled city in America?
00:27:47.140 In America, Atlanta, Georgia.
00:27:49.940 Wow.
00:27:50.260 They have 15 cameras per 1,000 people.
00:27:54.100 Number 13 is Chicago.
00:27:56.180 Number 28 is Washington.
00:27:57.980 Number 38 is San Francisco.
00:27:59.900 Number 42 is San Diego.
00:28:02.380 And number 46 is Boston, Mass.
00:28:06.460 New York's not even on that list.
00:28:07.560 New York's not on the list.
00:28:09.480 That is incredible.
00:28:11.480 Two more stories.
00:28:14.600 Two more stories, and you will see the complete picture.
00:28:18.460 All right.
00:28:20.220 One more story, and I'm going to tie it all together.
00:28:23.380 Brain-computer interfaces, BCI.
00:28:27.080 Once used exclusively for clinical research, the research, now under development at several startups and a major tech company.
00:28:38.700 And rudimentary versions are already popping up in online stores.
00:28:44.000 Here's why this matters to you.
00:28:51.920 It unlocks the information inside of your head and could give companies and governments access.
00:29:01.900 The privacy risks alone, it is the absolute end of privacy.
00:29:09.440 Forget about any of the social media data.
00:29:12.200 This is actually, from outside of your head, a machine that can read your mind.
00:29:20.960 In some cases, even the implants that people like Elon Musk are working on, they're relatively limited in the data they can extract from your brain.
00:29:35.360 And we don't know how accurate they can interpret, but the tech is moving at light speed.
00:29:42.200 They can now recognize basic emotional states, unspoken words, and imagined movements.
00:29:50.900 They monitor your neural data.
00:29:57.600 Wow.
00:29:58.600 Researchers have found similarities in the way different people's brains process information.
00:30:04.720 They can make a rough guess today about what somebody is thinking or about to do based on brain activity.
00:30:12.980 This could lead to future crime stopping.
00:30:15.420 That's exactly what it is.
00:30:17.000 Yeah, that'd be awesome.
00:30:18.000 If you could stop people from committing a crime they're about to commit, wouldn't that be great?
00:30:22.340 So they already have out on the market these basic headsets that are being sold as relaxation tools or entertainment gadgets.
00:30:30.740 Do not buy one.
00:30:33.860 Do not put one on your head.
00:30:36.340 They're using the devices to fine-tune what is going on, and they're fine-tuning it.
00:30:43.440 They're using you as a guinea pig.
00:30:46.660 They're using them currently to fine-tune advertising pitches.
00:30:51.820 Facebook is involved in this.
00:30:54.100 Elon Musk is involved with this.
00:30:56.600 And the neurotechnology, they believe you'll be able to type out your thoughts.
00:31:03.900 You'll merge with AI.
00:31:07.420 How exciting is that?
00:31:09.540 It's really exciting.
00:31:10.280 We'll merge with an AI machine?
00:31:12.760 People are not wonderful.
00:31:14.460 People think this is one of the most frustrating things.
00:31:18.100 And I just talked to Robert Epstein about this.
00:31:20.940 He's the researcher, you know, the Harvard-MIT guy that's doing everything on Google.
00:31:26.380 Yeah.
00:31:26.740 And he said the biggest frustration is I can't get people to take this seriously.
00:31:30.900 No, they don't.
00:31:31.680 They don't.
00:31:32.440 I haven't talked to anybody who takes it seriously.
00:31:34.420 No.
00:31:35.400 You two.
00:31:36.500 Why do you?
00:31:37.020 What's the difference with you?
00:31:38.960 I have a brain.
00:31:41.260 I don't know.
00:31:42.820 I think, you know, well, we've been watching out for things like this for a long time.
00:31:47.580 If you haven't been watching out for things like this for a long time,
00:31:50.720 you just think, ah, we've heard this all before, and nothing's going to come of it,
00:31:55.180 and we've seen it come and go.
00:31:55.900 I've been watching this since the early 1990s.
00:31:58.540 Yeah.
00:31:59.020 And been following this stuff and thought it was cool, but fiction.
00:32:04.380 Yeah.
00:32:05.580 Until really the last 15 years.
00:32:09.220 And in the last 15 years, it's been pretty dicey.
00:32:12.500 As Robert Epstein said to me, Glenn, 2020 is going to be terrifying.
00:32:18.620 Terrifying.
00:32:19.100 Now, I want to give you one more thing.
00:32:24.560 There is a new paper out, and what's really important about this is it's a white paper
00:32:30.860 trying to get, to figure out a way to get from the Constitution to a society of analytics
00:32:40.820 and algorithms.
00:32:41.920 So this is post-constitutional.
00:32:46.240 Instead of a Constitution, we have this analytics.
00:32:49.800 You have basically, how do we get Americans to accept this social credit system over the Constitution?
00:33:01.920 I hope you don't, but it's already in play.
00:33:05.480 I will give you the white paper on it that people that are really engaged in this are reading and taking to heart today.
00:33:15.920 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:33:22.040 Hey, it's Glenn.
00:33:33.800 And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:33:37.940 His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:33:41.460 Luis Elizondo, welcome to the program.
00:33:44.740 Director of Global Security to the Stars Academy.
00:33:48.740 Thank you for having me, Mr. Beck.
00:33:50.300 You bet.
00:33:51.240 You're one of the more fascinating guests that we've had on.
00:33:55.140 I think you were on about two years ago, and we were talking about the video that was verified last week.
00:34:01.160 First of all, your thoughts on that video, and what do you think that could be?
00:34:07.480 Is it most likely something we are doing, but the Defense Department just doesn't talk to itself?
00:34:17.540 Mr. Beck, that's a fantastic, fantastic question.
00:34:21.240 Since we spoke, actually, we decided to dedicate some of our time and attention to a docu-series that actually looks at some of those questions,
00:34:28.020 whether or not this could be a super-secret U.S. technology or perhaps even some sort of foreign adversarial technology
00:34:35.640 that has somehow managed to, if you will, leapfrog ahead of the U.S. and gain strategic surprise.
00:34:43.400 In reality, we really don't know what they are.
00:34:46.380 These things have been seen for quite some time.
00:34:48.040 What do I think about the first video you just asked me about?
00:34:52.800 I think if you look at the video and you know what you're looking at,
00:34:55.540 you'll see some performance characteristics that are well beyond our current understanding of aerodynamics.
00:35:03.080 For instance, we don't see any propulsion unit in it.
00:35:07.500 It's a, if I'm not mistaken, it was a flat surface.
00:35:12.720 We can start and stop and go at speeds, and we can't tell how it's even propelling itself, right?
00:35:20.780 Right, right.
00:35:23.060 In essence, you have these five observables, so to speak, that anything that we have that flies in the sky,
00:35:28.980 whether it's an aircraft or even like a balloon or something like that, they all have to abide by the same physics.
00:35:34.560 And when you see something that can perform in ways, high G-force acceleration, hypersonic velocity sustained,
00:35:42.780 and then stop on a diamond hover, things that have the ability to potentially travel in low Earth orbit,
00:35:48.860 in atmosphere, and potentially even underwater,
00:35:51.520 those are some of the things that you have to kind of scratch your head at that point and say,
00:35:54.440 okay, is this some sort of new technology we're seeing, or is this really a completely different paradigm?
00:35:58.900 So, was there a, can you even tell, is there a heat signature from it?
00:36:05.100 I mean, is it, do we have any concept as you've been looking into these things?
00:36:11.960 Well, we do.
00:36:13.240 We have some very bright physicists and scientists that have partnered with us over the years,
00:36:18.960 and they have come up with some really startling hypotheses.
00:36:24.200 And these hypotheses, when you look at them collectively,
00:36:27.480 one of the things that until recently, probably the last three years only,
00:36:31.640 this latest development, we were looking at these observables, if you will,
00:36:37.740 under the lens of different types of exotic technologies that could explain each and every one.
00:36:43.400 And some of the physicists now have come to the conclusion that really what we're seeing,
00:36:47.820 all these capabilities may, and I'll emphasize may,
00:36:51.280 be a manifestation of a single type of technology.
00:36:55.420 What does that mean?
00:36:57.480 Well, that means that if you have a certain type of potentially propulsion drive or unit,
00:37:05.100 you will have the ability to do all these things that we're seeing these UAPs do in a way that you don't need
00:37:13.600 five different type of technologies to explain the five different, if you will,
00:37:17.520 the observables that these things are displaying.
00:37:19.480 It's all really one technology potentially.
00:37:22.720 And if you understand how to bend or even flex the fabric of space-time just a little bit,
00:37:29.480 then all sorts of things that we would consider magic will become possible.
00:37:33.100 Does that include this cigar-shaped UFO that people are seeing all over the world now?
00:37:40.100 It's been spotted in the United States.
00:37:41.860 It's been spotted in Europe and Asia.
00:37:44.960 Have you seen these?
00:37:46.020 Obviously, you've seen these things, these cigar-shaped UFOs.
00:37:51.020 Yeah, of course, we prefer in the government to refer to them as UAP.
00:37:56.520 I mean, they're really rather interchangeable, I guess, that terminology.
00:38:01.560 But, yeah, I mean, there's commonalities that are seen around the world,
00:38:04.580 whether they are disc-shaped vehicles or they are larger cigar or tic-tac-shaped vehicles,
00:38:09.900 or in some cases, they're very, very large triangular-shaped vehicles.
00:38:13.200 We simply don't know.
00:38:14.760 And from a national security perspective,
00:38:16.580 if these things really are potentially an adversarial technology,
00:38:20.060 then, A, they've been around for a long time.
00:38:22.260 B, they've managed to hoodwink us on our ability to collect signature data.
00:38:26.700 And, C, this is something that we need to get on top of.
00:38:30.580 The only country that really would have the ability to do something like this would be us, wouldn't it?
00:38:38.940 But, I mean, China and Russia are not up to speed where even we are.
00:38:45.660 Well, you know, I wouldn't underestimate the Chinese or the Russians.
00:38:50.020 I think they are very, very capable.
00:38:53.080 They've been able to, in occasion in the past, in some cases, surprise us.
00:38:57.700 But, yeah, one would say, well, if this is some sort of super-secret technology,
00:39:00.680 then more than likely it's the U.S.
00:39:02.000 But let's break down that argument for just a brief moment.
00:39:04.160 We do not test super-secret aircraft in and around large carrier battle groups that are underway,
00:39:12.160 whether it's in a combat theater or even back here at home.
00:39:15.460 We just don't do that without proper coordination because, obviously, you have issues of air safety,
00:39:20.740 you have issues of a technology potentially being leaked.
00:39:24.620 And there's all sorts of organizations in the Department of Defense, particularly the joint staff.
00:39:29.000 Their whole job is to deconflict those type of efforts and activities.
00:39:34.360 That's why you have areas like Area 51 where you can fly these things in secret
00:39:37.940 and you're not going to get a whole lot of people looking at it.
00:39:40.420 Likewise, you would assume they wouldn't be tested over large population areas like Phoenix.
00:39:48.500 That is certainly not the way we do business.
00:39:51.440 That is not the way our national security apparatus tests super-secret stealthy technology.
00:39:56.480 Now, that Phoenix situation where thousands and thousands, if not tens of thousands of people,
00:40:01.260 saw all those lights in the sky back in 98 or whenever that was with a triangle shape,
00:40:06.320 and some said it was miles across.
00:40:11.260 What have you found out about that?
00:40:13.180 Has there been any new information over the last 20 years that's come out about that situation?
00:40:19.560 Yes and no.
00:40:20.520 Not that has necessarily come out, but that has been studied and researched, yes.
00:40:24.300 And this kind of goes back to the more recent theories that what we're looking at here
00:40:30.080 may potentially be a culmination of really one type of exotic technology being used.
00:40:38.440 Again, unfortunately, I really can't go into a whole lot of detail with that.
00:40:41.320 First of all, I'm not qualified.
00:40:42.420 I'm not a physicist or a scientist.
00:40:44.280 But two, I think it's still a little premature right now to come out with any type of real theory on it yet.
00:40:50.260 But we're hoping to, in the next maybe eight months, maybe have that more.
00:40:54.240 Do you believe that it is homegrown technology?
00:41:00.660 Earthbound technology?
00:41:03.020 Mr. Beck, with all due respect, I usually don't like to give my opinion on things like this.
00:41:06.880 Yeah, all right.
00:41:07.280 One thing I've learned as an intel officer, you can be absolutely sure of something and still be absolutely wrong.
00:41:12.460 Okay.
00:41:12.680 So I think collecting the data, let the facts speak for themselves, and let the American people make up their own mind what this might be.
00:41:19.260 Totally, totally reasonable and much more wise.
00:41:22.700 Not great radio, but very wise.
00:41:27.740 Let me ask you this way.
00:41:34.880 If these were from another planet or species or whatever it is, if it's otherworldly, doesn't that say something really calming about being watched?
00:41:53.640 They have been around for a long time, and they haven't really—it's not like they're coming here to, you know, terraform us.
00:42:02.120 They've been here for a while.
00:42:04.080 Well, that's a great, great point, too.
00:42:06.380 I mean, I think depending how you look at this philosophically and even sociologically as a society, some people will look at this and say, oh, this is comforting to know that we're not alone.
00:42:15.580 And others may look at this, and actually it could be a little bit disturbing and a hard pill to swallow for some.
00:42:20.760 It really depends, I think, on your personal views of the world.
00:42:25.020 You know, from a national security perspective, the one question they always ask me is why does DOD consider this a threat?
00:42:30.100 Well, our job in DOD is to consider everything as a threat potentially until we're sure it's not a threat.
00:42:35.020 So, you know, the one, if you will, the one allegory I've told people, say, imagine at night you go to lock your doors, the front door, you lock your windows, and you turn on your alarm system.
00:42:44.200 And one morning you wake up to get a nice hot cup of coffee in the morning, and downstairs in the living room there's muddy boot prints.
00:42:49.400 Now, the doors are still locked, the windows are locked, and the alarm is on, but somehow you have these muddy boot prints in your living room.
00:42:55.040 No one's been hurt, nothing's been taken, nothing's out of place, but you have these prints that weren't there the night before.
00:43:01.180 So the question is, is that a threat?
00:43:03.280 Well, I don't know if it's a threat, but it has a potential to be a threat if it wanted to be.
00:43:07.620 So that's why I think from a national security perspective, we do look at it from that optic.
00:43:13.380 Does it necessarily mean it is a threat?
00:43:15.240 No, absolutely not.
00:43:16.240 But we need more data.
00:43:17.740 We need more information before we can make any type of assessment whether or not these things are a threat or not.
00:43:25.120 You said to me two years ago that the evidence with the DOD of UFOs is overwhelming.
00:43:33.600 What does that mean to you?
00:43:37.360 It means during my time with the ATIP program that there was enough data there that not only we were able to collect,
00:43:45.220 but other organizations and agencies were able to collect that allowed us to recognize the reality that these things are real.
00:43:51.680 Now, what they are and where they're from, you know, I certainly don't want to speculate.
00:43:55.340 But are they real physical objects?
00:43:57.200 Yes, they are.
00:43:57.760 They are there.
00:43:58.280 So why this sudden openness with the DOD?
00:44:02.580 Is it just because of the Internet?
00:44:05.540 Why are we hearing something that has been denied forever and that's crazy talk and you're crazy if you even think you saw one?
00:44:17.020 Why is it now coming out that, yeah, that why is the DOD take two years and then finally come out and say, yeah, that's that really did happen?
00:44:26.060 They've never done that in the past.
00:44:28.760 Well, in all fairness, in defense of the department, you know, DOD is a large bureaucracy and DOD is fantastic once it has a defined threat in addressing those those threats.
00:44:39.020 But here is something that we have no idea how it works, what it is, where it's from or anything else like that.
00:44:46.700 None of the interrogatives.
00:44:48.240 And that's that's that's hard for an organization like DOD to to come out and say, yeah, these things are real or they're not real.
00:44:55.240 Well, if we don't even have enough data and information is not getting to the right people in senior DOD leadership.
00:45:01.740 But I will also say that I think it's it's a tremendous testament to the courage of the Navy to come out with this statement.
00:45:08.500 Finally, and say, yeah, these things are real.
00:45:10.140 One of the reasons why I think maybe they're changing their tune a little bit.
00:45:14.780 And again, I don't like to speculate too much, but it may very well be the fact that so many pilots now are coming into contact with these things.
00:45:21.620 And by the way, let's not forget, every single person out there has some sort of smartphone with very, very capable digital collection capabilities such as camera, digital cameras and even IR.
00:45:32.880 So we may be reaching a critical mass where where there's enough individuals out there that it's going to be really, really hard to to to deny that that information.
00:45:44.260 Luis, just because of your you know, you ran a clandestine source operations in the Middle East, a special agent in charge for national intelligence, you know, the national counterintelligence executive, blah, blah, blah.
00:45:59.060 You have the expertise.
00:46:00.700 And if you have something that you can say, I'd like to hold you over.
00:46:05.120 Can you comment on what you think is happening or should be happening with Iran and Saudi Arabia?
00:46:11.340 Wow. You know, I probably no longer qualify to to answer a question like that.
00:46:21.000 But I do have friends that that are engaged in that there's one thing I'll offer to the American people that right now, the intelligence community, community and the Department of Defense have some of the very brightest minds, the greatest talent looking at this issue and others, too.
00:46:36.780 By the way, the DOD never sleeps. It has a global 24-7 mission, 365 days a year.
00:46:45.160 And the incredible men and women that are part of that effort.
00:46:48.820 You know, it's amazing. Half the time they don't I think they don't even sleep.
00:46:52.520 And they are they are managing these issues for us. So our leaders can make well-informed decisions.
00:46:59.100 I think Saudi Arabia and Iran is a very, very perplexing and challenging issue, but it's not new.
00:47:07.040 It's been around for a while and it's also an evolving issue.
00:47:09.840 It's something that every day goes by.
00:47:12.020 There's a there's a new piece to the equation that has to be figured out.
00:47:16.640 It's kind of like a math problem that continues to compound upon itself and get more and more increasingly more difficult to solve.
00:47:24.120 Thankfully, we have very smart people in our intelligence community and in our Department of Defense that that are looking at these problems are strategizing and they're trying to anticipate what tomorrow may bring.
00:47:34.540 All right. I appreciate your frankness on that.
00:47:36.440 Luis, thank you so much. Luis Elizondo to the Stars Academy dot com, the national security director there.
