The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Michael Rectenwald ｜ 9⧸9⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hey, today we have kind of a rollercoaster ride for you.

00:00:02.640 The information on you that is being sold, the Total Information Awareness Program,

00:00:09.120 HARPA and DARPA, coming to the U.S. very soon.

00:00:14.400 Also, we're talking about the new streaming services, the plays.

00:00:19.160 We've been dinged again by Facebook last week, now this weekend.

00:00:25.040 YouTube demonetized my interview with Dave Rubin.

00:00:29.400 I guess we're just too dangerous for them.

00:00:32.340 Planned Parenthood, a story that you have not heard anywhere that should be the lead

00:00:38.820 in every decent journalist paper or report today.

00:00:45.360 Michael Rechtenwald joins us to talk about Google, more on Elian Ilhan Omar,

00:00:50.880 and Representative Clyburn says, I don't think the Bill of Rights would pass today.

00:00:55.780 Stu and I look at that, all on today's podcast.

00:00:59.400 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:12.720 All right.

00:01:14.180 Here's what broke last week.

00:01:16.000 The Department of Justice on Thursday filed a court order stating they want Apple and Google

00:01:22.220 to hand over the information of more than 10,000 gun owners.

00:01:26.620 The DOJ wants information of gun owners who use the mobile app called Obsidian 4,

00:01:32.340 which allows rifle owners to calibrate their scope using their cell phone.

00:01:36.540 The government wants users' data as part of a larger immigration and customs enforcement investigation

00:01:43.500 into breaches of weapons export regulation.

00:01:46.380 This scope, we have stuff here in America that, you know, our enemies abroad would love to be able to get their hands on.

00:01:53.100 And so we export.

00:01:54.780 Bad guys export some of this stuff.

00:01:56.700 They buy it and export it.

00:01:57.840 And the government's trying to catch these guys.

00:02:00.220 Now, the company isn't under investigation.

00:02:04.380 But the investigators are looking for a quick way to find out where the app is in use.

00:02:09.920 So if it's in use in Afghanistan, then they know and they can track it all the way back to who sold them that.

00:02:20.480 So it seems like a pretty good idea, except they're asking for a warrant on everybody.

00:02:28.700 So anybody who has bought this, you're not you're not under suspicion, but they're going to get all of your information.

00:02:36.360 So did you download the app?

00:02:38.240 What did you use it for?

00:02:39.360 How long did you use it for?

00:02:40.920 All of your information is going to go into the hands of the federal government.

00:02:45.660 It's not really a good idea.

00:02:49.140 This is not the way we issue warrants in America.

00:02:53.880 But the problem is bigger than this.

00:02:57.460 The problem is most people don't understand that we are.

00:03:03.420 I don't even know how long we are before we we get there.

00:03:07.700 If we're not there now.

00:03:10.160 My guess is by 2020, 2021, 22 on the outside, we are going to be living in a full social credit kind of world.

00:03:20.740 We already are there.

00:03:23.560 Now, here's what I mean by that.

00:03:26.780 My podcast with Dave Rubin has been demonetized.

00:03:31.220 Now, last week, Facebook would not promote Bridget Phetasy's podcast, which featured me.

00:03:39.960 So a digital wall went up.

00:03:43.320 If you went to Facebook and you say, I like Glenn Beck, you may not have gotten that notice that I had done a new podcast, even though you're there saying I like Glenn Beck.

00:03:54.480 Because some have said, I don't like Glenn Beck.

00:04:00.000 The mob has spoken.

00:04:02.400 And so we got a notice that it violated their community standards.

00:04:08.720 How?

00:04:09.940 No answer.

00:04:10.940 Dave Rubin wrote yesterday and said, Glenn, I don't know if you've you've seen this, but now the podcast that we just did has been demonetized.

00:04:23.160 How is that happening?

00:04:24.920 What did we do to violate community standards?

00:04:28.480 Well, nothing.

00:04:30.140 Probably my name is on a list.

00:04:33.860 What can I see why my name is on the list?

00:04:35.820 Can I see that list?

00:04:36.960 No, no, no.

00:04:37.480 You can't.

00:04:38.920 My social credit score is too low.

00:04:42.480 And so they won't they won't allow any advertising to happen on anything of mine.

00:04:48.360 Well, people will say, well, you make enough money.

00:04:51.220 This isn't about me.

00:04:53.400 First of all, that's not my podcast.

00:04:55.100 That's Dave Rubin's.

00:04:56.420 And Dave Rubin, up until he signed with us, that's how he makes money.

00:05:01.880 He makes money through YouTube.

00:05:04.940 If they demonetize him, he has no money.

00:05:09.780 He can't do what he does.

00:05:13.700 And it's all because of a social credit score.

00:05:16.240 He has he has angered the gods.

00:05:19.520 And it is godlike magic because you can't there's no fair hearing.

00:05:24.860 There's nothing.

00:05:25.440 You don't even know what the algorithm is.

00:05:27.300 You don't even know what you've done.

00:05:29.140 Last week, the court has said that we can't just have no fly lists.

00:05:34.300 You can't be put on a terrorist watch list without even knowing about it.

00:05:38.840 You can't be on a no fly list.

00:05:40.620 That's unconstitutional.

00:05:42.060 Well, we've been saying that for a while.

00:05:44.000 Now, the federal government has been told you can't have it by a court.

00:05:50.760 But we have it.

00:05:52.240 We have those lists. 0.72

00:05:54.460 We have those black lists.

00:05:58.880 I don't even know how to talk to my children anymore to alert them of this problem.

00:06:05.040 Let me give you let me let me just start to break this down.

00:06:10.880 Do you have a Roomba by any chance?

00:06:12.580 This comes from a company called iRobot.

00:06:15.040 The CEO, Colin Angle, told Reuters recently that its data based business strategy for the smart home starts with the new revenue stream.

00:06:27.180 That is coming from Roomba.

00:06:29.040 What revenue stream are they making?

00:06:34.960 Because we buy them?

00:06:36.760 No.

00:06:38.040 Because Roomba actually maps the floor plan of your home.

00:06:43.980 And it sends that information back to iRobot.

00:06:48.660 iRobot then takes everybody's map of their home and it sells it to interested parties.

00:06:59.040 So, this is the beginning of the internet of things.

00:07:04.860 Everything you have will be on the internet.

00:07:09.020 Everything.

00:07:10.360 And if you opt out, well, then it won't really work for you.

00:07:15.920 You still buy Roomba, but it's not going to work as well.

00:07:18.460 Or would it have they made it more difficult?

00:07:22.960 Take things like, see, we're doing this to ourselves because we think it's good.

00:07:26.880 The sleep number bed, which is a great bed.

00:07:29.760 But they now have smart bed technology and sleep tracking.

00:07:33.700 So, what does that mean?

00:07:38.200 Well, the bed's base and mattress customizable with features that raise or lower the angle of the bed.

00:07:43.080 Sensors that soften or firm up the mattress.

00:07:45.760 Other sensors now measure heart rate, breathing, and movement.

00:07:50.800 And every morning you get a sleep IQ score representing your individual quality and length of sleep.

00:07:56.900 Your restful sleep, restless sleep, time out of bed.

00:08:00.060 What adjustments you can make.

00:08:01.620 Now, the company suggests that you connect that sleep app to your fitness tracker on your arm and the thermostat in your house to see how your work or bedroom temperatures actually affect your sleep.

00:08:17.340 It sounds great.

00:08:19.800 Now, in the company's 12-page privacy policy, customers are advised that providing information is an affirmation of consent to use that information in line with privacy.

00:08:31.620 Policy, which employs the usual onerous terms, third-party sharing, Google Analytics, targeted advertising, and much more.

00:08:41.000 If customers create a user profile to maximize the effectiveness of the app, the company then also collects your biometric and sleep-related data about how you, your child, and any other person that uses the bed,

00:08:57.440 it gets all of their information and it sends it out, including their respiration and heart rate while sleeping.

00:09:04.980 It also collects all audio signals in your bedroom.

00:09:10.820 What?

00:09:14.020 This is not uncommon.

00:09:19.080 Almost everything will become a part of the Internet of Things.

00:09:23.640 And the question you have to ask yourself is, what does a smart product know?

00:09:30.660 Whom does it tell?

00:09:33.520 So who knows?

00:09:36.200 Who decides?

00:09:38.440 And who is it that's deciding who decides?

00:09:42.860 Where is all of your information going?

00:09:45.520 They are now monitoring, recording, they're communicating behavioral data.

00:09:53.820 They have now smart vodka bottles.

00:09:58.540 They have internet-enabled rectal thermometers.

00:10:03.200 And everything in between.

00:10:06.060 Smart light bulbs, smart toothbrushes, smart coffee mugs, smart ovens, smart juicers, smart utensils to improve your digestion.

00:10:13.740 Home security cameras with facial recognition.

00:10:17.420 It's great.

00:10:18.680 Home alarm systems that monitor unusual vibrations that happen usually right before a break-in occurs.

00:10:25.160 Indoor GPS locators.

00:10:27.580 Sensors that attach to any object to analyze movement, temperature, other variables.

00:10:33.240 Every kind of connected appliance.

00:10:35.760 Cyborg cockroaches designed to detect sound.

00:10:39.120 Even the baby's nursery is a surplus of information.

00:10:47.380 I don't think we have any idea how bad things are getting.

00:10:53.800 And we are just allowing it to come into our home.

00:10:59.060 So what does this mean?

00:11:00.980 How is it, how is it we're supposed to function anymore?

00:11:07.620 What is coming our way?

00:11:10.340 Well, there is no opt-in, opt-out kind of function anymore.

00:11:15.040 And the last bastion is the human body.

00:11:18.880 I'm going to take a break and I'm going to, I want to talk to you about the total information awareness program.

00:11:30.360 It was started because of the Patriot Act right after September 11th.

00:11:35.920 But maybe the week of September 11th, we should look at what has happened since September 11th.

00:11:42.820 The government shut down funding in 2004 or 2005, but we had already granted license to other companies to start making these things and make them they have.

00:11:57.340 And I'm going to show you how a visit to your vet could end up putting you onto some social score that you don't like.

00:12:08.800 Could mean the loss of your gun.

00:12:13.300 It definitely means the loss of your personal information.

00:12:17.320 Just going to the vet.

00:12:19.700 Okay, I told you last week about something called HARPA.

00:12:24.780 HARPA is like DARPA.

00:12:27.860 Okay, but it's the Health Advanced Research Project Agency.

00:12:33.440 HARPA.

00:12:33.980 It's all about your health.

00:12:35.680 Just like DARPA is about defense.

00:12:38.680 This is a government agency that looks over the horizon and says, what can we do?

00:12:46.180 Now, remember, DARPA is the one that really gave us the microwave oven.

00:12:51.240 I mean, the things that DARPA has done from going to space to weapons has been remarkable.

00:12:59.100 One of the best group of, I think, inventors and thinkers on Earth.

00:13:05.440 I'm not a conspiracy-minded guy on DARPA.

00:13:10.100 I'm glad we have DARPA.

00:13:11.220 However, things are moving so quickly now.

00:13:17.000 We have to have some way to watch what DARPA and now HARPA is doing.

00:13:23.660 HARPA is something that apparently, every time it's brought up in the White House, the president really likes.

00:13:30.440 He likes technology and he likes solving crime.

00:13:33.340 So, this is SAFE HOME from HARPA.

00:13:38.300 SAFE HOME.

00:13:39.180 It's an acronym.

00:13:40.200 Stopping aberrant fatal events by helping overcome mental extremes.

00:13:46.340 Now, what they want to do is they want to identify potentially violent people.

00:13:53.420 Potentially violent people.

00:13:56.040 Anybody see Minority Report?

00:13:58.340 We don't have the three women in the milk bath to do it. 1.00

00:14:03.640 HARPA is doing this.

00:14:06.000 And it's doing this because we are being tracked by everything.

00:14:10.600 And it's only going to get much worse.

00:14:12.860 The SAFE HOME plan sounds pretty great.

00:14:18.180 I mean, it's a way for us to make sure that the crazy people don't get their hands on guns and they're helped before there is a problem.

00:14:26.120 Except it means total surveillance.

00:14:30.160 Now, HARPA says they're only going to try this for a couple of years.

00:14:35.320 But I want to remind you what DARPA did here in a second.

00:14:39.980 They're only going to try this for a few years.

00:14:41.660 And they're only going to do it with people who voluntarily allow HARPA to access the data.

00:14:48.800 Now, they haven't answered whether or not that means like me when I went on to iTunes and went,

00:14:54.880 I agree, without reading it.

00:14:58.660 When I have my Fitbit and I say, which I don't have, I agree.

00:15:03.240 Is my, am I now part of HARPA?

00:15:09.000 Is my information being used by HARPA?

00:15:12.020 The answer is most likely.

00:15:16.040 Now, they're trying to develop a sensor suite.

00:15:19.780 And this will have artificial intelligence identify changes in mental status.

00:15:27.420 So, it is looking for the sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence.

00:15:34.920 They're going to use Apple Watches, Fitbits, Amazon Echo, and Google Home.

00:15:40.420 And other, quote, powerful tools.

00:15:42.800 All right.

00:15:48.580 Let me take you back in time for something called TIA, Total Information Awareness.

00:15:56.000 Have you ever heard of this, Stu?

00:15:58.980 This was in the Patriot Act.

00:16:00.700 TIA, its mission is to, quote, detect, classify, and identify foreign terrorists and decipher their plans

00:16:09.340 and therefore enable the U.S. to take timely action to successfully preempt and defeat terrorist acts. 0.99

00:16:16.740 Oh, I remember when we were young and stupid. 0.98

00:16:21.260 It was the, the, the logo of this was the pyramid with the eye of God above it. 0.99

00:16:28.560 Sound familiar? Sound like, oh, I don't know, eye of Moloch?

00:16:34.160 So, this was defunded in 2004.

00:16:38.660 TIA was to strive to achieve human identification at a distance, including face recognition, iris recognition, and gait recognition.

00:16:49.720 They also were working on odor recognition.

00:16:53.260 So, you could tell somebody by the smell of them.

00:16:56.600 We have that built in already.

00:16:58.040 Right.

00:16:58.740 It's, it's, so all of this has already been done.

00:17:02.740 And their goal was to stockpile as much information as possible on everyone on earth.

00:17:09.320 To protect the government, to protect us from everything on earth.

00:17:13.660 Every purchase you make with a credit card, every magazine subscription you buy, every medical prescription you fill, every website you visit, every email you send and receive, every academic grade you receive, every bank deposit you make, every trip that you book, every event you attend.

00:17:28.060 All of these transactions go into the defense department's virtual centralized grand database, including your trip to the vet.

00:17:38.840 Fluffy got hurt.

00:17:39.840 But, hmm.

00:17:40.840 Fluffy got hurt.

00:17:41.840 Fluffy got hurt.

00:17:43.840 So, Fluffy is going to the vet.

00:17:45.840 But we notice that your teenage son, who is also having trouble in school, has just booked an appointment at the psychiatrist's office.

00:17:54.840 Did Fluffy get hurt from an external injury or internal?

00:18:00.840 How did it happen?

00:18:04.680 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:18:12.960 Hey, it's Glenn.

00:18:14.360 And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:18:18.540 His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.

00:18:22.340 A man I have an awful lot of respect for, Michael Rechtenwald, is joining us now.

00:18:27.060 His Twitter is anti-PC NYU prof.

00:18:31.660 He was a guy who was part of the system and, you know, was teaching deconstruction and everything else.

00:18:39.820 And he kind of woke up and saw what was happening and saw that these leftists were serious about getting rid of capitalism and taking control and shutting everyone up.

00:18:51.220 And he started to speak out.

00:18:53.260 He was shunned by all of his friends.

00:18:55.560 He was pretty homeless there for a while.

00:18:59.000 And he has come roaring back.

00:19:01.560 He authored the book Springtime for Snowflakes, which is kind of his story.

00:19:05.940 But it's intense when you see it from the inside.

00:19:10.780 He has a new book out called Google Archipelago, which is about how we are building gulags.

00:19:21.680 And we're allowing Google and others like that to do it.

00:19:26.060 Welcome to the program, Michael Rechtenwald.

00:19:28.820 Hey, Glenn.

00:19:29.580 Good morning.

00:19:30.680 It's good to have you on, Michael.

00:19:32.220 And I want to have you down and really talk about your book.

00:19:36.640 But I know your book, which comes out, what, in a couple of weeks?

00:19:40.060 A couple of weeks or any day now.

00:19:41.680 It's scheduled for the 30th, but it could be any day that it'll be released.

00:19:46.160 So you won't be waiting long.

00:19:48.060 Okay.

00:19:48.420 So I've read much of it.

00:19:51.060 I haven't read all of it.

00:19:52.040 You haven't sent me all the chapters.

00:19:53.180 But I've read much of it.

00:19:54.320 And it's really, really good.

00:19:56.380 And it goes into how Google is building this box for us.

00:20:04.040 How concerned are you that the government is now reaching out and saying, hey, Google and Apple and Amazon Echo, we need your help to find out who the crazy people are?

00:20:16.580 This is alarming.

00:20:18.780 I mean, we're talking about an unprecedented infiltration of surveillance into the home, the likes of which, you know, 1984 will pale by comparison.

00:20:28.160 And we won't need helicopters, you know, hovering outside your window because you'll be voluntarily, with the smartification of your home, turning virtual assistants and televisions and every other appliance possibly in your house into an agent or an app for surveillance upon you.

00:20:45.320 And so anything that is said in the home can be recorded and sent to the agencies, the proper agencies in question, so to speak.

00:20:53.980 And therefore, there are going to be thousands, if not millions, of false positives where you're maybe even arrested because something.

00:21:02.080 You may have enacted a Shakespearean play in your home, and there's a talk of murder and things like this.

00:21:08.280 This would be enough, perhaps, to trigger the authorities to come and get you.

00:21:12.340 Well, there is, there is, as part of this, HARPA is what it's, it's called, as part of this, they are monitoring, they want to be able to monitor everything.

00:21:23.240 So not only the language in your home, what people are saying, but they want to have access to, for instance, your son has a doctor's appointment.

00:21:31.440 It's a psychiatrist.

00:21:32.400 He has his records at school show that he's starting to get into some trouble and your dog just went to the vet and it had some external injuries.

00:21:43.820 It had been hit by the car or something had happened to it.

00:21:48.000 That's enough to trigger HARPA and say, there's a possibility that there is a disturbed child living in this house with real psychiatric problems and he's beating the dog.

00:21:59.960 We got to get the guns out of the house.

00:22:01.980 And you all have no, you have, you're not, you're guilty until you prove innocent.

00:22:08.620 Ray, this is minority report report in action.

00:22:13.000 And, you know, they're going to be collating so much information from, like you said, doctor's records, you know, medical records, activities in the home, language that's used in the home.

00:22:24.980 Anything, any data that's possible to collect will be collated with other data and interpreted as such, perhaps even by algorithms without even human intervention.

00:22:35.840 So we have algorithms determining whether or not somebody is about to commit a crime.

00:22:41.540 It's alarming.

00:22:42.500 I mean, we're talking about an embragement of rights that could be quite unprecedented in this country.

00:22:48.340 So I don't know, have you read Surveillance Capitalism, the book?

00:22:53.560 Yes, I have.

00:22:54.600 Okay.

00:22:55.440 I've been reading that off and on and I picked it up over the weekend because I was looking into the surveillance again.

00:23:02.020 And we just talked about what they, where, where she really goes into, look, even Roomba now is selling a map of your home. 0.53

00:23:11.740 It goes and it maps the floor of your house.

00:23:15.580 I don't know who's interested in buying that, but they get a lot of money from people who are buying maps of homes.

00:23:23.200 And it's, it's everywhere.

00:23:25.660 It's going to be everywhere.

00:23:27.020 How do you possibly unplug from this matrix?

00:23:32.360 I mean, that's a great, that's a great question.

00:23:34.060 First of all, I would like to say that I call this Google Marxism rather than Surveillance Capitalism because the objective is a kind of leftist totalitarian state where it's basically everybody under surveillance.

00:23:47.500 And the rest of the, you know, you have a series of monopolies on top and the, and everybody else in a sort of, you know, actually existing socialism at the bottom, all under surveillance, all under the state.

00:24:00.760 The corporate entities are fusing with state apparatuses to become these massive powers, these governmental powers. 0.86

00:24:09.640 What I would do is I recommend the stupefication or the stupidification of your house. 0.99

00:24:15.400 Everything should be dumb as a doorknob. 0.98

00:24:17.920 Otherwise, you're dealing with, you're dealing with your TV and your radio and your phone and your, your Alexa or your home, Google Home. 0.98

00:24:28.900 All of these things are surveillance agents. 0.98

00:24:30.960 So you have to get your house clear of, of anything so-called smart, because if it says it's smart, you're dumb to use it. 0.93

00:24:39.380 And if it says this is a safe home initiative, it should be considered, these are all misnomers. 0.90

00:24:44.980 It's a dangerous home initiative.

00:24:46.760 It's dangerous for you.

00:24:48.800 So people will think, Michael, people will think that this is conspiracy theory.

00:24:54.060 We're seeing what we're seeing happen right now is a social credit score.

00:25:01.200 If you have said something that the mob doesn't like, you can lose your job.

00:25:07.620 If, if you have a politically incorrect opinion, I can be demonetized and then de-platformed.

00:25:16.620 It's happening already, but people are not for some reason waking up.

00:25:22.160 And I think in, in looking at what the news is just in the last few weeks because of the gun issue and what the government is talking about doing now and what, you know, Google and Amazon and everybody else is talking about doing.

00:25:37.820 I fear we are maybe two years away from being in a box that we can't get out of.

00:25:44.100 That's right.

00:25:44.860 I mean, we're looking at already the spread of smart cities from China to the West.

00:25:50.540 We have a city in Australia, Darwin.

00:25:53.840 Australia has adopted the smart city model.

00:25:56.980 This is an outdoor prison, if you will, because it's a, it's a kind of digital gulag because every act is recorded.

00:26:03.900 Every act is collated with other data.

00:26:06.040 All of this data is fed into the various agencies.

00:26:08.900 People are basically facing digital fences or even digital leashes such that they can't move beyond such certain parameters.

00:26:17.040 Hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:26:19.160 Explain, explain that because people will say, I'm not doing anything wrong, so I don't care.

00:26:25.340 And it's not even, you know, China doesn't have to come in and break down the door to get you and put you in prison. 1.00

00:26:34.840 They now have such surveillance that you cannot leave your house.

00:26:39.080 There's nothing you can do outside of your house, and so they keep you in your house.

00:26:44.720 By choice, you choose to do it.

00:26:47.360 That's right.

00:26:48.260 One of the things to be concerned about is not just whether you're doing something wrong, but whether you're doing something that is interpreted as dangerous.

00:26:55.420 Because, you know, this is one thing to note is that these are left-leaning or left-authoritarian forces that are going to be controlling this.

00:27:05.020 So they're going to be looking at anything that is right-leaning as dangerous.

00:27:09.700 I mean, we've already seen countries banning certain individuals from entering the country.

00:27:15.340 Yes.

00:27:15.580 Laura Loomer in England and others like even Ann Coulter in Australia.

00:27:20.740 So this is not just – so we're seeing people being limited in their scope of travel.

00:27:27.780 It's going to get to the point perhaps where we won't even be able to leave a city, or as you said, people will be smart to not leave their home unless their home is smart, in which case you're basically in a – you've created your own digital dungeon.

00:27:41.740 So, Michael Rechtenwald, he is the author of Google Archipelago, which is a tough title for a lot of people.

00:27:54.320 You just said it was Google Marxism.

00:27:57.380 Tell me why you chose that name.

00:27:58.760 Well, Google Archipelago is a takeoff from Alexander Solzhenitsyn's book, a three-volume series called Gulag Archipelago, which was about the Soviet prison system during the Soviet Union in which Solzhenitsyn himself was imprisoned for several years.

00:28:16.860 So what I'm saying is that Google is an emblem for a broader set of digital giants that are basically creating a digital gulag around the world, and we're voluntarily, unfortunately, voluntarily submitting ourselves to it.

00:28:34.900 So this Google – Google digital gulag is a kind of – as I said, it's all about surveillance.

00:28:42.540 It's all about these smartification of devices.

00:28:46.600 It's all about these open-air surveillance systems that are feeding information directly to the state.

00:28:54.040 So they're basically collecting, collating, and processing through algorithms all this data,

00:29:01.580 and it's being used to basically – it'll be used, and it has been used in China, and it's being used in Darwin, Australia,

00:29:08.940 and it's going to be used by Google Sidewalk Labs in Toronto to basically record every move that's made.

00:29:17.360 And I wrote in the book that much of what – everything that goes on outside the home will be recorded and known,

00:29:24.400 and much of what goes on inside the home will be.

00:29:26.760 And I was correct because look at what's happening here where they're going to use Google Home and Alexa – or Alexa – Amazon Alexa or Echo

00:29:37.640 to basically echo everything you say inside the house to everybody in the agencies outside the house.

00:29:45.160 So this is a digital gulagging, and that's why I've called it Google Archipelago.

00:29:49.740 Google is the leading edge of all this.

00:29:51.560 You know, Google was funded by the intelligence agencies in the first place.

00:29:57.480 It was developed by the government largely.

00:29:59.960 Yes, it's a private industry, which makes it even worse because now you have no freedom of speech on their platforms.

00:30:08.240 They are algorithmically, differentially discriminating against right-leaning people in all kinds of areas,

00:30:15.320 including their search results.

00:30:17.760 It's just incredible.

00:30:18.600 This is the most dangerous thing, Michael, I have seen because we have always stood for the Bill of Rights.

00:30:25.440 But the Bill of Rights does not apply to Google or Amazon or any of these companies.

00:30:34.480 And these companies are becoming as big and as dangerous as a government can.

00:30:40.840 And then they're getting in bed with the government.

00:30:42.820 So the government can say, you know, we're not doing anything to suppress those.

00:30:46.700 They are.

00:30:47.300 And it doesn't cover them.

00:30:48.800 So is there a solution to this?

00:30:51.320 Is there something we should be doing as a nation?

00:30:55.480 It's a corporate state, you know, so that we're looking at are kind of what I call corporate socialism or Google Marxism.

00:31:02.100 And what we need to do, first of all, is to turn off these devices, get rid of the smartification of the home in terms of anything that can be recording what you're saying and sending it anywhere.

00:31:15.020 Have you looked at the have you looked at the legal side?

00:31:18.460 Is there anything that the government you know, people are talking about breaking these companies up and, you know, I don't I just don't like the government getting involved in anything.

00:31:29.800 And I certainly don't want to regulate them because that's what these companies want.

00:31:35.340 They want regulation because regulation makes the cost of entry for other companies much higher.

00:31:43.000 Right.

00:31:43.340 So they actually welcome regulation.

00:31:45.240 So we don't want to encourage regulation.

00:31:47.560 We also don't want to punish success in the United States.

00:31:50.780 We don't want to punish successful corporations.

00:31:52.900 However, I think that what has to be done is that Google needs to be understood and even called a state apparatus.

00:32:00.940 And so once we acknowledge that it's actually been produced by the state in a great to a great degree, we're talking about a place and Facebook as well.

00:32:09.160 We're talking about spaces that have to be considered public.

00:32:13.520 And so I think the move should be for the dumbification of the home and the public publication, if you will, of the of the digital realm.

00:32:26.420 So, in other words, knowing that these companies have been funded by and are being used by the government, it would require them then to be known as a state apparatus, which then the Bill of Rights would fall into.

00:32:41.940 Under. Yeah. And we would have our rights back.

00:32:45.860 We would we would have the free free speech that we are entitled to as citizens of the United States, the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, which helps to guarantee all the other rights that we have.

00:32:56.520 So I think it's absolutely incumbent upon us to to develop a movement for this particular agenda.

00:33:04.980 And I don't mean screaming in the streets.

00:33:07.540 I'm talking about a kind of response that's legal, that's that is also, you know, reasoned and using evidence rather than, you know, leftist type tactics to bring this to its stop.

00:33:24.600 Michael, thank you so much. And you're what we will have you on again here in the next week or so about your book.

00:33:32.620 A lot of this is in the book. You you really need to read it and know what's going on.

00:33:39.140 Google Archipelago. That is by Michael Rechtenwald.

00:33:42.400 You can find him at Michael Rechtenwald dot com.

00:33:46.980 But follow him. He is an interesting guy who thinks deeply about these subjects.

00:33:54.260 And his book is terrifying, bone chilling, hair raising.

00:34:00.720 Google Archipelago. You can find it online now.

00:34:06.540 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:12.400 Should we go through the should we go through the the gaffes made by our vice president?

00:34:26.640 This is all after he was vice president.

00:34:28.480 This is only in this run up.

00:34:30.920 I don't think by the time we get to the election, if he is actually the candidate.

00:34:35.720 We are just not going to make it.

00:34:37.580 We're not going to have enough time during the show to actually play the gaffe montage.

00:34:41.120 No, we won't. We're up to this is, I think, our seventh update so far.

00:34:45.980 We've been doing it for about seven weeks, seven days, really.

00:34:49.260 I mean, we just started doing the updates to it.

00:34:52.100 And I know we there's every once in a while, they'll be talking about Biden and some of the stuff he said.

00:34:58.480 And I'm like, oh, we never even put that one in the original construction of the gaffe montage.

00:35:03.900 So there's more to add from the past and current.

00:35:06.980 But this is just since he's announced.

00:35:08.700 OK, here we go.

00:35:09.540 This is Joe Biden.

00:35:11.500 We have this notion that somehow if you're poor, you cannot do it.

00:35:16.340 Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. 1.00

00:35:20.560 Wealthy kids.

00:35:21.520 White kids. 0.95

00:35:22.800 Asian kids.

00:35:23.600 We choose unity over division.

00:35:25.620 We choose science over fiction.

00:35:27.720 We choose truth over facts.

00:35:29.980 When the kids from Parkland marched up to and I met with them and then they went off to up on the hill when I was vice president, they went off the hill.

00:35:36.740 Just like in my generation, when I got out of school, that when Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King had been assassinated in the 70s, late 70s, I got engaged.

00:35:47.440 My long friend, time friend.

00:35:48.840 And she's a friend.

00:35:49.640 She's been my friend.

00:35:50.680 In and out of public life.

00:35:52.380 And over 40 kids shot in Kent State on a beautiful lawn.

00:35:56.540 And asked for God.

00:35:57.260 We should set up a system, which I propose, which I will if I'm elected president, that allows the folks at HHS, the folks at health and the health department in the United States, HHS.

00:36:10.460 He's saying that it was president, my boss, it was his fault.

00:36:16.700 I promise you, if I'm elected president, you're going to see the single most important thing that changes in America is we're going to cure cancer.

00:36:24.660 Donald Trump is reelected.

00:36:28.040 Freudian slip.

00:36:28.980 Folks, if you're interested, join me.

00:36:32.100 I could use the help.

00:36:34.380 Wow.

00:36:34.900 I mean, it goes on and on.

00:36:38.080 I mean, some of those things are just, we could go back to that one.

00:36:40.880 The president hump speech had multiple, what were they called?

00:36:45.720 Bertations?

00:36:46.340 Remember?

00:36:46.640 Yeah.

00:36:46.980 Because that one, that one news anchor kind of just stopped being able to speak for 30 seconds and kept saying the word bertation over and over again.

00:36:54.520 She had multiple bertations during that run up to the moment where he calls him president hump.

00:37:01.080 How come nobody's talking about the aneurysm thing?

00:37:04.900 Well, I mean, there is a, it's a weird thing, right?

00:37:10.340 You're turning, at some level, you're turning health into politics.

00:37:14.360 But, I mean, in this case, it's important, right?

00:37:16.600 It just like, I mean, they certainly had no problem mocking Donald Trump's health examination where his doctor was like a mad scientist.

00:37:26.520 He's like a doctor of a villain in some Marvel comic.

00:37:30.120 He was awesome.

00:37:31.000 He's the most healthiest guy in the universe.

00:37:33.100 That's my medical opinion.

00:37:35.980 I love that.

00:37:36.700 That guy was awesome.

00:37:37.720 Why doesn't that guy have a show yet?

00:37:39.140 I know.

00:37:39.620 I know.

00:37:40.080 I want that guy.

00:37:40.540 Why hasn't Netflix hired him?

00:37:42.280 You know, somebody with a medical condition.

00:37:44.160 Can we play Kamala Harris, please?

00:37:49.060 Do we have time?

00:37:50.420 17 seconds. 0.95

00:37:51.160 That's what I'm going to do in the next one year to diminish the mentally retarded action of this guy. 1.00

00:37:57.380 That's what she says.

00:37:58.720 Well said.

00:37:59.540 Okay, well said.

00:38:00.680 Now, she says, well said. 1.00

00:38:02.020 So what are you going to do about this mentally retarded Trump? 1.00

00:38:06.020 She later apologizes and said she hasn't, she didn't really hear him. 0.99

00:38:10.540 Wait, what?

00:38:11.220 And that's not the first time she's done that.

00:38:13.960 This is her go-to.

00:38:14.860 Yeah, I didn't really hear it.

00:38:16.460 She may have a hearing problem. 0.71

00:38:18.000 We should have her hearing checked. 0.95
