On today's show, Glenn Beck talks about the government spying on you, the Total Information Awareness Program (TIPAP) and DARPA coming to the U.S. soon, and the new streaming services. Also, the government wants access to millions of Americans' guns, and YouTube demonetizes Glenn Beck's latest interview with Dave Rubin.
00:03:43.320If 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.
00:03:54.480Because some have said, I don't like Glenn Beck.
00:04:10.940Dave 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.
00:08:01.620Now, 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.
00:08:19.800Now, 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.
00:08:31.620Policy, which employs the usual onerous terms, third-party sharing, Google Analytics, targeted advertising, and much more.
00:08:41.000If 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,
00:08:57.440it gets all of their information and it sends it out, including their respiration and heart rate while sleeping.
00:09:04.980It also collects all audio signals in your bedroom.
00:11:10.340Well, there is no opt-in, opt-out kind of function anymore.
00:11:15.040And the last bastion is the human body.
00:11:18.880I'm going to take a break and I'm going to, I want to talk to you about the total information awareness program.
00:11:30.360It was started because of the Patriot Act right after September 11th.
00:11:35.920But maybe the week of September 11th, we should look at what has happened since September 11th.
00:11:42.820The 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.
00:11:57.340And 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.
00:16:58.740It's, it's, so all of this has already been done.
00:17:02.740And their goal was to stockpile as much information as possible on everyone on earth.
00:17:09.320To protect the government, to protect us from everything on earth.
00:17:13.660Every 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.
00:17:28.060All of these transactions go into the defense department's virtual centralized grand database, including your trip to the vet.
00:18:31.660He was a guy who was part of the system and, you know, was teaching deconstruction and everything else.
00:18:39.820And 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.
00:19:56.380And it goes into how Google is building this box for us.
00:20:04.040How 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?
00:20:18.780I mean, we're talking about an unprecedented infiltration of surveillance into the home, the likes of which, you know, 1984 will pale by comparison.
00:20:28.160And 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.
00:20:45.320And so anything that is said in the home can be recorded and sent to the agencies, the proper agencies in question, so to speak.
00:20:53.980And therefore, there are going to be thousands, if not millions, of false positives where you're maybe even arrested because something.
00:21:02.080You may have enacted a Shakespearean play in your home, and there's a talk of murder and things like this.
00:21:08.280This would be enough, perhaps, to trigger the authorities to come and get you.
00:21:12.340Well, 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.
00:21:23.240So 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.
00:21:32.400He 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.
00:21:43.820It had been hit by the car or something had happened to it.
00:21:48.000That'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.
00:21:59.960We got to get the guns out of the house.
00:22:01.980And you all have no, you have, you're not, you're guilty until you prove innocent.
00:22:08.620Ray, this is minority report report in action.
00:22:13.000And, 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.
00:22:24.980Anything, 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.
00:22:35.840So we have algorithms determining whether or not somebody is about to commit a crime.
00:23:27.020How do you possibly unplug from this matrix?
00:23:32.360I mean, that's a great, that's a great question.
00:23:34.060First 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.
00:23:47.500And 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.
00:24:00.760The corporate entities are fusing with state apparatuses to become these massive powers, these governmental powers.
00:24:09.640What I would do is I recommend the stupefication or the stupidification of your house.
00:24:15.400Everything should be dumb as a doorknob.
00:24:17.920Otherwise, 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.
00:24:28.900All of these things are surveillance agents.
00:24:30.960So 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.
00:24:39.380And if it says this is a safe home initiative, it should be considered, these are all misnomers.
00:24:48.800So people will think, Michael, people will think that this is conspiracy theory.
00:24:54.060We're seeing what we're seeing happen right now is a social credit score.
00:25:01.200If you have said something that the mob doesn't like, you can lose your job.
00:25:07.620If, if you have a politically incorrect opinion, I can be demonetized and then de-platformed.
00:25:16.620It's happening already, but people are not for some reason waking up.
00:25:22.160And 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.
00:25:37.820I fear we are maybe two years away from being in a box that we can't get out of.
00:26:48.260One 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.
00:26:55.420Because, 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.
00:27:05.020So they're going to be looking at anything that is right-leaning as dangerous.
00:27:09.700I mean, we've already seen countries banning certain individuals from entering the country.
00:27:15.580Laura Loomer in England and others like even Ann Coulter in Australia.
00:27:20.740So this is not just – so we're seeing people being limited in their scope of travel.
00:27:27.780It'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.
00:27:41.740So, Michael Rechtenwald, he is the author of Google Archipelago, which is a tough title for a lot of people.
00:27:58.760Well, 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.
00:28:16.860So 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.
00:28:34.900So this Google – Google digital gulag is a kind of – as I said, it's all about surveillance.
00:28:42.540It's all about these smartification of devices.
00:28:46.600It's all about these open-air surveillance systems that are feeding information directly to the state.
00:28:54.040So they're basically collecting, collating, and processing through algorithms all this data,
00:29:01.580and 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,
00:29:08.940and it's going to be used by Google Sidewalk Labs in Toronto to basically record every move that's made.
00:29:17.360And I wrote in the book that much of what – everything that goes on outside the home will be recorded and known,
00:29:24.400and much of what goes on inside the home will be.
00:29:26.760And 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
00:29:37.640to basically echo everything you say inside the house to everybody in the agencies outside the house.
00:29:45.160So this is a digital gulagging, and that's why I've called it Google Archipelago.
00:29:49.740Google is the leading edge of all this.
00:29:51.560You know, Google was funded by the intelligence agencies in the first place.
00:29:57.480It was developed by the government largely.
00:29:59.960Yes, it's a private industry, which makes it even worse because now you have no freedom of speech on their platforms.
00:30:08.240They are algorithmically, differentially discriminating against right-leaning people in all kinds of areas,
00:30:51.320Is there something we should be doing as a nation?
00:30:55.480It's a corporate state, you know, so that we're looking at are kind of what I call corporate socialism or Google Marxism.
00:31:02.100And 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.
00:31:15.020Have you looked at the have you looked at the legal side?
00:31:18.460Is 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.
00:31:29.800And I certainly don't want to regulate them because that's what these companies want.
00:31:35.340They want regulation because regulation makes the cost of entry for other companies much higher.
00:31:45.240So we don't want to encourage regulation.
00:31:47.560We also don't want to punish success in the United States.
00:31:50.780We don't want to punish successful corporations.
00:31:52.900However, I think that what has to be done is that Google needs to be understood and even called a state apparatus.
00:32:00.940And 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.
00:32:09.160We're talking about spaces that have to be considered public.
00:32:13.520And 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.
00:32:26.420So, 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.
00:32:41.940Under. Yeah. And we would have our rights back.
00:32:45.860We 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.
00:32:56.520So I think it's absolutely incumbent upon us to to develop a movement for this particular agenda.
00:33:04.980And I don't mean screaming in the streets.
00:33:07.540I'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.
00:33:24.600Michael, thank you so much. And you're what we will have you on again here in the next week or so about your book.
00:33:32.620A lot of this is in the book. You you really need to read it and know what's going on.
00:33:39.140Google Archipelago. That is by Michael Rechtenwald.
00:33:42.400You can find him at Michael Rechtenwald dot com.
00:33:46.980But follow him. He is an interesting guy who thinks deeply about these subjects.
00:33:54.260And his book is terrifying, bone chilling, hair raising.
00:34:00.720Google Archipelago. You can find it online now.
00:34:06.540This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:34:12.400Should we go through the should we go through the the gaffes made by our vice president?
00:34:26.640This is all after he was vice president.
00:35:29.980When 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.
00:35:36.740Just 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.
00:35:57.260We 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.
00:36:10.460He's saying that it was president, my boss, it was his fault.
00:36:16.700I 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.
00:36:46.980Because 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.
00:36:54.520She had multiple bertations during that run up to the moment where he calls him president hump.
00:37:01.080How come nobody's talking about the aneurysm thing?
00:37:04.900Well, I mean, there is a, it's a weird thing, right?
00:37:10.340You're turning, at some level, you're turning health into politics.
00:37:14.360But, I mean, in this case, it's important, right?
00:37:16.600It just like, I mean, they certainly had no problem mocking Donald Trump's health examination where his doctor was like a mad scientist.
00:37:26.520He's like a doctor of a villain in some Marvel comic.
