00:00:23.840
Trump Biden democratic scandal. And a scandal it is probably one of the more important scandals
00:00:31.900
of my lifetime. This is going to be bigger than Watergate. And I want you to I want you to see it
00:00:39.960
this week. We are today talking about the whistleblower, his firsthand knowledge, how
00:00:48.660
this actually started in 2016. With the Democrats, everything the Democrats have started to accuse
00:00:57.960
Donald Trump of with Russia. Maybe they they thought that was going on because that's exactly
00:01:03.520
what they were doing in Ukraine. And we lay out some of that evidence. Also, Hillary thinks that
00:01:09.600
Trump is obsessed with her. I think she's gone insane. All this and more on today's podcast.

00:02:22.160
there's a couple of things. First of all, the whistleblower came out last week. And he said that
00:02:29.180
that Trump said at least eight times that he needed a big favor. And he he wanted Rudy Giuliani. That's not
00:02:38.340
true. He brought really Rudy Giuliani up twice. And the president of Ukraine was the first one to
00:02:44.260
bring him up. Not Donald Trump. He also said that. What was the other one that was just debunked this
00:02:53.600
weekend? I mean, this is a central part of the whistleblower complaint, which is to say that, yes,
00:03:01.040
uh, look, there is a this particular transcript of this call was hidden, right? This is the it was
00:03:09.600
it was moved over to a super secret vault. Exactly. And that was if you read the actual report, which
00:03:15.000
we have, you see that really what it is, is an outline of publicly available information like things
00:03:23.400
Rudy Giuliani said on television, things the president tweeted, all that's in there with a couple of
00:03:29.380
additions. I've heard there's a call with the Ukraine where this was discussed. And the transcript
00:03:34.900
was moved to the super secret place to hide it. So that shows that it was they knew it was something
00:03:41.300
bad. That is central to the argument of the whistleblower case. Already, this is Monday. When
00:03:48.660
did this thing come out Thursday? We're only on Monday of the next week. And already that point by the
00:03:55.880
mainstream is already accepted by the mainstream media that well, no, they were doing that with
00:03:59.960
all the transcripts. They're doing that with all the transcripts, because as you might remember,
00:04:03.640
the Mexico and Australia calls with the president were leaked to the media. So they to take to fight
00:04:10.640
those leaks, pulled all these transcripts and started putting them in a super secret vault.
00:04:14.840
So this whistleblower didn't realize that or didn't put it together or the rumors they heard didn't
00:04:20.620
include that information. And so they made it a central part of their case to say, look, this was
00:04:27.820
secret that shows it was a problem because it was hidden behind this super secret vault. The media has
00:04:33.440
already accepted the Trump administration position on this, which is, oh, actually, they were doing it
00:04:39.300
because of these initial early leaks. What's incredible is this whistleblower has zero credibility,
00:04:46.660
zero, eight times. He said the president made him a promise. He never made him a promise,
00:04:53.380
asked him for a favor and said, I'm going to hold things back on your defense unless you help me.
00:05:00.600
He never said that. Nothing like it. The media had to edit out 543 words between I have a favor
00:05:10.680
and also Joe Biden and Hunter Biden had to edit out five, about 540 words. The guy has no credibility.
00:05:22.160
Now we find out that the super secret vault is something they do with all of the phone calls.
00:05:28.780
This is why you don't take secondhand knowledge. But let me give you something else that just
00:05:34.920
broke this weekend. We don't know when, but the intelligence community in the last few months
00:05:43.360
secretly eliminated the requirement that whistleblowers provide direct firsthand knowledge
00:05:51.100
of alleged wrongdoings. Now, this was the intelligence community that changed their form.
00:05:59.700
And this wasn't uploaded until September 24th, 2019 at 425 in the afternoon. That is just days before
00:06:10.720
the anti-Trump complaint was declassified and released to the public. The markings on the document
00:06:18.760
state that it was revised in August 2019, but no specific date of a revision is disclosed. So the document
00:06:28.160
was revised in August of this year by the intelligence community. Then it was only told to the public
00:06:37.680
just a couple of days before this whistleblower report came out. Now, what was the claim from the media
00:06:46.320
that Donald Trump was trying to hold this whistleblower report back and all of these things were always
00:06:55.240
reported to Congress? Wasn't that, wasn't that the case that these always went to Congress? No whistleblower in the
00:07:04.480
history of whistleblowers. No whistleblower has ever been held back from Congress. Okay.
00:07:12.680
The IG report talks about how this guy, the attorney, the investigator general had to look at it and say,
00:07:23.440
well, this guy, he's, he doesn't have any firsthand knowledge. So no, I'm not going to give this to
00:07:28.760
Congress. That's Donald Trump trying to stop this investigation. I want you to listen to what it
00:07:42.660
It says firsthand information required. Now, this is the form that if you have, if you're a whistleblower,
00:07:54.580
you have to fill out. And on page eight, it said firsthand information required. Here's the
00:08:04.000
explanation. In order to find an urgent concern credible, the ICIG must be in possession of reliable
00:08:14.520
firsthand information. The ICIG cannot transmit information via the ICWPA based on an employee's
00:08:24.700
secondhand knowledge of wrongdoing. This information in this information includes any
00:08:32.420
information received from another person, such as when a fellow employee informs you that he or she
00:08:39.040
witnessed some sort of wrongdoing. Anyone with firsthand knowledge of the allegations may file a
00:08:46.100
disclosure in writing directly with the ICIG. Similarly, speculation about the existence of wrongdoing does
00:08:56.420
not provide sufficient legal basis to meet the statutory requirements of the ICWPA. If you think that
00:09:06.420
wrongdoing took place, but can provide nothing more than secondhand or unsubstantiated assertions
00:09:13.640
or assertions, the ICIG will not be able to process the complaint or information for submission
00:09:21.980
as an ICWPA. Could it be more clear? You cannot do this. Why? Well, we know why, because we have now an
00:09:34.320
impeachment hearing based on a guy who said the president said at least eight times, the president made a
00:09:42.620
promise. He said that he was going to withhold things unless the transcript was held in a super
00:09:56.700
secret vault because they never do that. And there was nothing classified in this. So why did they do it?
00:10:04.060
He's hiding something. All of those assertions have been wrong. All of them. Why? Because
00:10:12.420
this isn't the guy's job. This guy is not in line here. He heard other people talk about it.
00:10:20.280
So it's nothing to do with his job. The reason why the intelligence community doesn't listen to
00:10:26.980
whispers is because how many times in your life have whispers about you been right?
00:10:33.620
Our intelligence community requires people who are not dealing in rumors. Imagine we go to war
00:10:45.220
because there's rumor of things and no one has firsthand knowledge. Oh, I know. You know,
00:10:51.500
it's weird. Kind of like when we went into Iraq saying that there were chemical weapons and weapons of
00:10:57.900
mass destruction. What was the left screaming for? They were screaming for evidence.
00:11:05.260
And we considerably more evidence on that than we do in this. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, when you don't
00:11:10.700
when you're talking about secondhand information like this, maybe that's good enough for a tweet.
00:11:15.260
It's good enough for a whistleblower report. I don't think so. And one of the things that some on the
00:11:20.320
right are saying is we need to know who this person is. We need to interview them. We need to know what
00:11:24.260
they know. That's putting him in danger. The president might kill him. Right. Yeah, they are.
00:11:28.360
Well, by the way, that's that was reported by, I think, 60 minutes that they that the whistleblower
00:11:32.760
is getting death threats. And that's why they're under witness protection. Seems like the whistleblower's
00:11:37.780
own attorney is disagreeing with that and calling out 60 minutes on that leak. But beyond all that,
00:11:45.520
what is the value of talking to this person? Well, because he's just reporting secondhand information.
00:11:52.600
No, no, no, no, no. Listen, in the in the report, his own report, he says, I have received
00:12:00.840
information from multiple U.S. government officials. He also says officials have informed me. Officials
00:12:07.920
with direct knowledge of the call informed me. The White House officials who told me this
00:12:13.140
information. I was told by White House officials, the officials I spoke with. I was told that a State
00:12:20.160
Department official I learned from multiple U.S. officials. One White House official described
00:12:26.680
this act based on multiple readouts of these meetings recounted to me. You're not even seeing
00:12:32.940
them. I also learned from multiple U.S. officials. The U.S. officials characterized this meeting.
00:12:39.180
Multiple U.S. officials told me I learned from U.S. officials. I also learned from a U.S. official.
00:12:43.700
Several U.S. officials told me I heard from multiple U.S. officials and multiple U.S. officials
00:12:48.580
told me. So he only says that I don't know anything myself. Right. So is it digging for
00:12:55.320
the sources? Is that the value of talking to this person? I know there's no reason to talk
00:12:58.920
to this person. There's no reason to listen to this person. The only reason why we know this
00:13:04.680
story is because and if you want talk about deep state, then the intelligence community should
00:13:11.820
stop doing these things. If you don't want people thinking there's a deep state, then the intelligence
00:13:17.380
community should stop in the cover of night sometime in August of 2019. That's just about a month
00:13:25.960
and a half ago. Sometime in August, they changed the whistleblower requirements. Now, I just read
00:13:35.920
that paragraph to you about how you cannot be giving secondhand. Now, it just says, question
00:13:43.540
three, I know about the information I'm disclosing here and you check the box. I have direct and
00:13:50.720
personal knowledge or I heard about it from others. Why would you change that? Why would you
00:13:58.580
change that? Unless you're just trying to get rumors out, which is weird because that's what the
00:14:06.820
Democrats did with the Russia file. And everybody said, we've got to impeach him right away. And then
00:14:14.340
there was an investigation. And what turned out? Nothing. This is the same story over and over and over
00:14:22.400
again. And somebody needs to pay a price. The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:36.960
Hey, it's Glenn and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program. If you like what you're hearing on
00:14:41.100
this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed. It's available wherever you download
00:14:46.460
your favorite podcasts. Give me the strength to listen to about 35 seconds of Hillary Clinton
00:14:53.020
this weekend on Sunday morning CBS. Listen, I believe he knows he's an illegitimate president.
00:15:00.980
He knows. He knows that there were a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out
00:15:08.620
the way it did. And I take responsibility for those parts of it that I should. But Jane,
00:15:13.100
it was like applying for a job and getting 66 million letters of recommendation and losing to
00:15:20.360
a corrupt human tornado. And so I know that he knows that this wasn't on the level. I don't know
00:15:27.760
that we'll ever know everything that happened, but clearly we know a lot and are learning more every
00:15:32.380
day and history will probably sort it all out. So of course he's obsessed with me. And I believe
00:15:38.420
that it's a guilty conscience in so much as he has a conscience. He doesn't think of you, Hillary.
00:15:44.800
He doesn't. When he obsesses over the election, it's not about Hillary Clinton. It's about the
00:15:50.060
corruption of the Democrats and the way they played. He's not. Hillary, you were the worst candidate
00:15:58.460
in my lifetime and maybe in several Beck generations. I mean, my shoe could have beaten you.
00:16:16.560
Further than I've heard her go, though. She's saying the election was not legitimate.
00:16:20.140
Remember the big complaint before the election was that Donald Trump was going to say it wasn't
00:16:25.820
Do you remember how they spent, the press spent weeks talking about what a scary thing it
00:16:30.220
was that one of the major presidential candidates would say, dare say, that if they lost, the
00:16:38.180
Here, that's what she's saying. She's saying, we don't know how, but we think he cheated.
00:16:41.280
That's not how you could accuse someone of a major crime.
00:16:43.340
What was the deal with the media? They're claiming that the birth certificate stuff claimed that he
00:16:48.320
was an illegitimate president. Well, yeah, that's exactly what it was. And you had a problem
00:16:53.200
with it. And that's why we didn't report on it. I mean, we, we did our homework on it and
00:16:57.540
we found it to be a valid birth certificate. But those people who kept going with the, the
00:17:03.900
non-valid birth certificate, look, it could have been changed. I bet it was CIA that changed
00:17:08.220
it. Good. They're doing the same thing. This is just their birth certificate thing. But
00:17:15.760
here's the, here's the problem with the birth certificate. The president could have done,
00:17:21.640
he could have solved that right away. He could have released that thing right away, but it
00:17:26.980
helped Obama. It helped him because it made anybody who was opposed to him, they could
00:17:33.460
throw him into birther categories where I wasn't a birther. You weren't a birther, but
00:17:39.980
Right. It was, it was a handy way to demean his enemies.
00:17:42.800
Correct. Okay. So that's why they kept that thing going for as long as they did. Now, what
00:17:49.240
are they doing here with the birth certificate? It was Obama's prerogative to release that
00:17:55.460
certificate whenever he wanted. Okay. He held it back. This is not only a false claim. This
00:18:04.060
is what they did. This is what they did. Oh, he was, he was involved in Russia. Let me give
00:18:11.280
you some new information now on the Ukraine scandal with the, with the DNC. We're doing
00:18:18.900
a special with blaze TV and the, the episodes begin tonight. Tonight, we're talking to you
00:18:27.300
about what you need to know, what your questions are. Cause I want to make sure that on Thursday,
00:18:32.920
this special hits everything that it needs to hit on Tuesday, we're going into, uh, Biden
00:18:40.440
and Ukraine on Wednesday, Biden and China. Then on Thursday, we'll do a special behind
00:18:48.020
the scenes at five o'clock and then Thursday night at eight 30, uh, central time, nine 30
00:18:55.400
Eastern. We're going to do a special Ukraine, the Democrats, Russia. Now, why are we calling
00:19:03.720
it the Democrats, Russia? When John Solomon was doing his research on the, uh, Russian collusion
00:19:15.600
story, what about a year and a half ago, he had gone over to the Ukraine because some of the
00:19:22.740
information was coming from the Ukraine. And so when he's looking at it, he was asking for
00:19:30.240
the Ukrainians to help. Did it come from you? Where was it? Were the Democrats involved? So
00:19:36.540
he was satisfied that Donald Trump was not involved with Russia and that he had not colluded with
00:19:43.900
Russia to get dirt on, uh, Hillary Clinton. The last thing that this source in Ukraine said
00:19:52.580
to John Solomon was when John said, okay, so there's really nothing to see here. The guy
00:20:01.160
looked at him and said, shook his head and said, you don't get it. Ukraine is the Democrats,
00:20:08.920
Russia. Everything that they said Donald Trump was doing, they were doing in Russia. And the evidence
00:20:17.640
is a little overwhelming at this point. Imagine what could happen and the evidence you could
00:20:26.360
get if you're looking for it. Let me give you a couple of things. First, uh, Chris Murphy in, uh, from
00:20:38.400
Connecticut. He's a Democrat from Connecticut. He called or went over to, uh, Zelensky and he wanted to make
00:20:46.360
sure that the Ukrainian, the new Ukrainian president knew exactly what the deal was. Now he spoke to him
00:20:55.020
in, I believe, August. I don't have the date in front of me while choosing his words carefully.
00:21:02.220
This is from John Solomon. Murphy made clear by his own account that Ukraine currently enjoyed
00:21:09.020
bipartisan support for us aid, but that could be jeopardized. If the new president acquiesced to
00:21:15.380
request by president Trump to investigate past corruption allegation involving Americans, including
00:21:22.060
Joe Biden. What is that? Can somebody help me on that? What is that? Did he not just threaten aid?
00:21:31.360
Murphy boasted after the meeting that he told the new Ukrainian leader that the U S aid was his
00:21:40.360
country's most important asset, and it would be viewed as election meddling and disastrous for
00:21:46.980
long-term U S Ukrainian relations to bend to the wishes of Donald Trump quote. I told Zelensky that he
00:21:54.540
should not insert himself or his government into American politics. I cautioned him that complying with the
00:22:00.820
demands of the president's campaign representatives to investigate a political rival of the president
00:22:05.800
would gravely damage U S Ukrainian relationship. There are a few things Republicans and Democrats agree
00:22:11.860
on in Washington these days, and support for the Ukraine is one of them. So here's his message.
00:22:20.240
Investigate the Ukraine dealings with Joe Biden and his son, and you're not going to get any aid.
00:22:26.380
Now that's current. So they just did exactly what they accused the president of doing,
00:22:36.460
but the president was looking for something else. So you have to understand he is not obsessed with
00:22:44.380
Hillary Clinton. She's a loser and he knows it. And he doesn't spend any time thinking about people.
00:22:51.240
He thinks are losers. What he is thinking about is, and she did it for a reason. He's an illegitimate
00:23:00.720
president. She knows that will bother him at night. It will bother him in everything he does. He,
00:23:09.800
that will stick to him and he will make mistakes because he will be so preoccupied with,
00:23:17.480
they're saying I'm a little illegitimate president. I'm not an illegitimate president.
00:23:22.580
So they're trying, she's specifically chose those words because she's trying to get underneath his
00:23:29.560
skin and it will work. Now I want to give you a couple of other things of what Donald Trump is
00:23:40.480
actually looking for. He's not obsessed with Clinton. He's obsessed with the DNC's investigation
00:23:52.060
into the Russia thing. He's obsessed with that because it didn't happen. And, and how is, how,
00:24:01.660
how did this, how did this happen? He believes he was set up. Now I'm going to give you some clear cut
00:24:09.220
evidence that that is true. This is this on top of the Biden thing. The Biden thing is what
00:24:16.900
everybody's concentrating on. That's not what you should focus on. And I'll give you some of that
00:24:22.560
evidence. As early as January, 2016, the Obama white house unexpectedly invited Ukraine's top
00:24:31.000
prosecutors to Washington to discuss fighting corruption in the economy. The meeting promised
00:24:37.640
justice training turned out to be more of a pretext for the Obama administration to pressure Ukraine's
00:24:43.880
prosecutors to drop an investigation into the, into the Burisma Holdings gas company that employed
00:24:51.220
Hunter Biden and to look for new evidence in a then dormant criminal case against eventual Trump
00:24:58.040
campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, a GOP lobbyist. So this is 2016. The Obama administration
00:25:05.860
brings the prosecutors over and says, Hey, we, we got to train, we got to work together.
00:25:11.640
And Oh, by the way, you guys got to stop on that thing. U S to fish, U S officials quoting
00:25:18.240
kept talking about how important it was that all of our anti-corruption efforts be united.
00:25:25.100
Now, this is not like a whistleblower. That's saying this who has secondhand knowledge.
00:25:29.980
This is the former political officer in the Ukrainian embassy in Washington who organized
00:25:40.440
Nazar Kolodensky, Ukraine's chief anti-corruption officer, also on the record said soon after he
00:25:50.240
returned from the Washington meeting, he saw evidence in Ukraine of political meddling in
00:25:55.580
the U S election. The two top Ukrainian officials that released secret evidence to the American
00:26:01.900
media smearing Paul Manafort. That's what they were asking for in 2016. The Obama white house
00:26:08.760
here in the United States in Washington, when they got back to officials smeared Manafort and released
00:26:17.120
information. Now, what's interesting about this is Manafort had a partner. Manafort
00:26:25.100
had somebody else doing exactly the same thing, except on the Democratic side. And that name is Tony
00:26:34.240
Podesta. And if you remember the day Manafort was arrested, Tony Podesta closed his business, a very
00:26:44.340
successful Washington lobbyist group. He closed it and retired. Now, why do you think and why isn't Tony
00:26:54.620
Podesta been asked about anything? Why hasn't there been any records released from Ukraine on Tony
00:27:00.020
Podesta? The release of the evidence forced Manafort to step down as Trump's top campaign advisor.
00:27:09.760
Now, so you know, this just isn't two sources that are saying this. A Ukrainian court concluded last
00:27:18.620
December that the release of the evidence amounted to an unlawful intervention in the U S election by
00:27:27.760
the Kiev government. You have that? This is more than a whistleblower. This is the courts in the Ukraine
00:27:39.440
saying that two members of the government were engaged in unlawful intervention in the U S election.
00:27:48.580
Who was that benefiting? That was benefiting Hillary Clinton, who asked them to do it. It was the Obama
00:27:56.940
administration. Shortly after the Ukrainian prosecutors returned from their Washington meeting,
00:28:04.140
a new round of democratic pressure was then exerted on Ukraine, this time via the embassy in Washington.
00:28:14.640
Valerity Chaly, I don't know how to pronounce the first name. He's the Ukrainian ambassador to the
00:28:19.900
United States confirmed in a statement issued by his office that in March, 2016, a contractor for the
00:28:29.440
Democratic national committee pressed his embassy to try to find any Russian dirt on Trump and Manafort
00:28:36.880
that might reside in Ukraine's intelligence files. The DNC contractor also asked the ambassador's team
00:28:45.040
to try to persuade Ukraine's president Petro Poroshenko to make a statement disparaging Manafort
00:28:52.860
when the Ukrainian leader visited the United States during the 2016 election.
00:28:57.400
The ambassador said his embassy rebuffed both requests because it recognized they were improper efforts
00:29:04.400
to get a foreign government to try to influence the election against Trump and for Hillary Clinton.
00:29:12.880
It's easy to see everything that the Democrats accused Donald Trump of doing with Russia,
00:29:20.840
they themselves were doing in Ukraine. This is without a government investigation.
00:29:35.360
Nellie Orr, the wife of senior U.S. Justice Department official Bruce Orr, who we know played a role,
00:29:42.800
worked in 2016 as a contractor for Fusion GPS, the same Hillary Clinton-funded opposition firm
00:29:50.020
that hired Christopher Steele, the British spy who wrote the now-debunked dossier linking Trump to Russia.
00:29:56.440
Okay, so Nellie Orr was the one who was giving the Fusion GPS stuff into the
00:30:04.800
into the federal government through her husband, and that got to the Justice Department, the FBI.
00:30:16.220
They started an investigation, then they leaked it to the press, blah, blah, blah.
00:30:20.140
She has now testified to Congress that some of the dirt she found on Trump during her 2016 election opposition research
00:30:32.540
She also said she eventually took the information to the FBI through her husband,
00:30:36.900
another way Ukraine got inserted into the election.
00:30:40.560
So, pressure, opposition research, all part of the Democrats' playbook on Ukraine
00:30:46.880
long before Trump ever called Zelensky this summer.
00:30:50.700
And, as I pointed out in the article here with John Solomon,
00:30:57.800
Chris Murphy from Connecticut is still using that political pressure
00:31:02.520
to influence elections in the United States through Ukraine.
00:31:12.900
It is, that is a big part, but honestly, a minor role on why you should care.
00:31:22.000
This is the Democratic National Committee using another intelligence service
00:31:34.420
More on this, the special, this Thursday, blazetv.com slash Glenn.
00:32:18.000
Michael Rechtenwald is somebody I met, I don't know, about six months ago.
00:32:30.600
He had been at the center of deconstruction, I think, and teaching and helping further the ideas of socialism or communism.
00:32:47.500
And when he started seeing people actually do it, he's like, oh, no, wait, this leads to massive death.
00:32:54.300
And he's really had his eyes opened to the left and now is speaking out and a strong voice.
00:33:09.320
It's called Google Arpelago, the Digital Gulag, and the Simulation of Freedom.
00:33:19.200
Well, you know how the Internet gives us the sense that we can go anywhere, do anything, learn anything, and have unlimited roaming capacities.
00:33:28.240
You know, that's been the promise of the Internet since its inception.
00:33:33.760
Well, it's a simulated freedom that is not really freedom because we're being trammeled, we're being controlled.
00:33:42.260
Our searches are being basically diverted by Google and other entities, but especially Google for searches.
00:33:51.980
So, in effect, we don't have the unlimited freedom that we think.
00:33:57.360
We're actually being controlled to a great extent by virtue of the algorithms that Google has instituted.
00:34:04.740
If everybody, if you're by a computer right now, go to google.com and just type in, in your search box, just the letter A.
00:34:20.700
You would think, because, well, everybody's searching for Amazon.
00:34:27.560
Why go to google.com to find amazon.com, right?
00:34:35.820
Because it's their biggest financial partner is Amazon.
00:34:41.320
And so, whether you're being manipulated because of financial reasons that you don't understand,
00:34:46.360
or for political or social reasons, you are being manipulated.
00:34:59.140
And before we get into that with capital letters, there is new knowledge going around, and it is, you know, that there is no difference, you know, that men can have babies.
00:35:18.440
Well, I mean, if you type, for example, you just talked about a Google search.
00:35:25.440
You'll see the amazing results that you'll get.
00:35:29.340
What Google is attempting to do in their world view is really all demonstrated almost instantly by virtue of this search.
00:35:47.660
It sure says men can have periods is the number one.
00:36:08.640
So, Michael, tell me the significance of what he just found with men can.
00:36:13.400
Well, I mean, so one of the things that Google is about is that they are trying to break down what I call social ontology,
00:36:21.300
and that is, you know, the basic structure or infrastructure of our social order.
00:36:25.840
You know, men and women, for example, are the basic constituents of a family, you know, for a reproductive family.
00:36:39.040
One of the major arguments of this book is that Google is a leftist authoritarian outfit, and they are trying to abolish the family,
00:36:48.420
and that is one of the main constituents that stands between corporate state power and the individual.
00:36:54.180
That's a real statement to make that they're trying to abolish the family.
00:37:02.660
Their interests are to have no mitigating force between them and the state or the corporate state, as it were,
00:37:12.740
because they are really state actors, as I've shown in the book.
00:37:30.280
Women can fly, which if true, I'm going to the airlines right away and trying to oppose that.
00:37:48.740
Now, you talk, and this is something also that our podcast just from over the weekend with Robert Epstein,
00:37:57.760
he was saying that it's not necessarily the search results.
00:38:03.380
It's the drop-down box that makes a huge impact before the search results even get there.
00:38:10.220
Yeah, it's the algorithms are actually determining what pre-search results that you're going to get.
00:38:17.780
In other words, they're leading you into certain results by virtue of suggesting,
00:38:23.640
filling in the blanks of what you are searching for,
00:38:26.500
and giving you the answer for what you're searching for before you even complete the search.
00:38:37.480
they prefer to let the algorithm fill it in for them.
00:38:40.680
The algorithm fills it in and diverts them into the channel that Google would have you go in.
00:38:49.460
is the concept that they're just showing you all positives about women?
00:38:55.120
Yes, they have this thing called algorithmic unfairness.
00:39:01.060
Now, that's their definition of what they mean by algorithmic unfairness is unfairness in the world.
00:39:08.760
They're not talking about their algorithms being unfair.
00:39:11.540
They're saying that there is an unfairness built into the reality,
00:39:15.300
and that they attempt purposefully to change that unfairness by virtue of altering the results that they give you for your searches
00:39:27.000
to reflect the way the world should be rather than the way it actually is.
00:39:33.040
But, Michael, yeah, because your conclusion, new knowledge or does the real exist,
00:39:42.180
nothing in the men's drop-down box, men can have periods, men can have babies, you know,
00:39:52.460
They're not true, but they want them to be true.
00:39:56.800
They want these things to be true because they are trying to disestablish our stable social ontologies.
00:40:04.420
They are attempting to eradicate any barriers that stand between corporate state power and the individual.
00:40:14.640
I mean, Karl Marx in 1848 with Engel, in the Communist Manifesto,
00:40:21.880
one of the ten points in the platform was to abolish the family.
00:40:28.460
And there is no question that Google has interest in the abolition of the social ontologies that lead to the family.
00:40:36.880
Because there are policies inside the company that make it very apparent,
00:40:40.720
and there are algorithmic biases, you know, that are facing outward to the public that make it very apparent.
00:40:50.620
You talk about new knowledge, and we've talked about new knowledge being, you know,
00:40:59.220
But new knowledge is capitalized, capital N, capital K.
00:41:05.700
There is a company called newknowledge.com that bills themselves as a disinformation agent,
00:41:14.560
as the leading disinformation agent on the West.
00:41:18.580
Now, as we've seen with the affair that's going on in terms of the Ukraine issue,
00:41:24.920
anytime they're saying one thing, it's really the opposite.
00:41:28.980
New knowledge claimed to be the main source for uncovering the Russian bots that were colluding to help Donald Trump win the 2016 election.
00:41:41.160
Well, after they submitted their report to the Senate Intelligence Committee,
00:41:47.260
they then went on in the 2017 election to stimulate Russian bots themselves to support the candidacy of Roy Moore
00:41:59.480
in order to make it look like the Russians were behind his candidacy.
00:42:06.320
Then they spread this news, quote-unquote news, to the news outlets saying that this was happening.
00:42:12.460
They were producing the reality that they were having reporters report on.
00:42:34.760
And they, I walk in and they said, Alexa, living room lights.
00:42:43.280
And I said, dear God, don't tell me, no, you don't have Alexa all throughout everything in your life.
00:42:59.720
And I tried to talk to him about, you've got to stop that.
00:43:07.040
Can you explain to the person who says, but I love this.
00:43:12.920
As he said, Glenn, if they're coming for me, they're out of everybody else.
00:43:22.180
First of all, Alexa has been shown to be a biased virtual assistant.
00:43:28.500
It is collecting information that leads you to certain conclusions that they want you to draw.
00:43:36.260
They're basing, Alexa is based on tilted algorithms, just like Google search engines.
00:43:42.220
Secondly, Alexa is recording your conversations.
00:43:46.820
And with the development of HARPA, the Health Advanced Research Project Agency,
00:43:53.780
which is an analog of DARPA, is to be an analog of DARPA.
00:43:59.060
This data will be collected, collated, and sent to a central database
00:44:03.940
in order to be interpreted to decide upon certain things about your life.
00:44:16.480
And it's your television, if it's a certain brand.
00:44:23.520
Samsung televisions have been shown to be recording conversations.
00:44:31.600
If the Internet of Things becomes what it's vaunted to be,
00:44:36.700
that is, any appliance in your home, any appliance, I'm talking a washing machine,
00:44:42.580
I'm talking a hair dryer, a microwave, I'm looking around my apartment here,
00:44:50.220
a refrigerator, blender, television, radio, anything that plugs in and has a chip.
00:45:01.480
Then we'll be in this new Internet of Things, which is IoT, as they call it,
00:45:08.160
The smartification of everything is basically the circumvention of what it is.
00:45:15.840
It's the surrounding of yourself with intelligent machinery, which is, in effect,
00:45:22.320
a way to fence yourself in, to be surveilled upon, to have all the data in your home recorded
00:45:29.760
and sent to central agencies, to have it collated, et cetera, et cetera.
00:45:40.160
In the book, in Google Archipelago, I say that soon everything that's happening outside of the home
00:45:46.820
will be recorded and tracked and traced, and much of what goes on inside of the home as well,
00:45:52.820
thanks to this Internet of Things, the smartification of everything.
00:45:57.880
Google Archipelago is the name of the book with Michael Rechtenwald.
00:46:03.520
A lot of Germans said at first, no, it's just like the Boy Scouts.
00:46:09.200
The Hitler Youth, yes, it's about Hitler and stuff, but they do a lot of good things,
00:46:13.380
and my kids get out and they get fresh air and everything else.
00:46:16.340
Well, eventually those kids were taught to report on their parents.
