New emails released from Epstein will lead you to believe that Trump spent time with
00:00:10.920
But none of that is true, including new email and the humanity.
00:00:21.660
What does it mean to be human in the age of A.I.
00:00:24.320

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:58.880
I don't know if you saw the number one song on the Billboard music charts.
00:03:05.620
But it is number one on the country music Billboard charts.
00:03:43.820
But I ain't never been one to live in the past.
00:03:46.820
I keep moving forward, never looking back with a worn-out hat and a six-string strap.
00:04:18.020
If you don't like how I talk, I'm going to keep on talking and walk my walk.
00:04:23.020
Okay, so the interesting thing about this song is that guy who's singing that has not been talking for a long time.
00:04:39.020
The number one song on the Billboard country music chart is AI.
00:04:50.200
I have to tell you, some of my favorite music is coming from AI right now.
00:04:57.580
You know, we just, it wasn't too long ago that we thought, oh, well, it's never going to be able to do that.
00:05:03.080
It can't, you know, art is the music, art is the window to the soul.
00:05:10.200
If you look at some of the lyrics of this song, I mean, it talks about how he's been dragged through the mud.
00:05:24.260
And yet it is assembling it in a way that is so appealing.
00:05:27.900
It's number one on the Billboard country music chart.
00:05:34.740
If that, and this is where I want to focus tomorrow, I want to talk to you about college.
00:05:39.080
And what are you telling your kids about college?
00:05:46.580
If you're thinking about college, what are you thinking?
00:05:52.160
You know, I just heard Elon Musk say that in five years, there's not going to be phones or apps.
00:06:03.040
It will just be some sort of a box or device that you kind of carry around with you.
00:06:17.360
And it will know what you want to hear, what you want.
00:06:28.620
So we will be even in our own universe, even more than we are right now.
00:06:51.860
I have been asking this question and been saying, Stu, since the 90s, I have been saying, we have to have a conversation on what does it mean to be human?
00:07:09.780
Because there's going to come a time when you won't know what it means.
00:07:21.640
I mean, I think we know what it means to be human, but I think the ways that we have shorthanded that over the years are dissolving, right?
00:07:32.220
Like, you know, when you come up with what seems like original thought, we might all be able to acknowledge that something that AI churns out is not an original thought.
00:07:45.940
Like, people won't care if it is made by humans or not, if they like it.
00:07:53.960
And while there will, I think, be a real pushback by some against this stuff.
00:08:00.060
Just like, you know, I have a bunch of friends who are into the horror movie practical effects world where they are like, I like going.
00:08:11.380
Like, that's why I like to watch horror movies, because they use real fake blood or whatever.
00:08:21.000
You know, when I go to a movie, if it's CGI and it looks real, I don't care.
00:08:24.160
But they love the fact that it's being made by, you know, practical effects.
00:08:29.120
And if that's, there will always be some interest in that, I think.
00:08:32.720
There will always be some interest in watching someone doing something manually that a machine could do easier and in some ways better.
00:08:40.700
But, like, it becomes niche after a while, doesn't it?
00:08:48.600
At some point, handmade, human-made will come back into style.
00:08:52.320
But we are going, we are, we're going to go through a period where it's going to get really scary.
00:08:56.380
Because, I mean, if a machine can, if a machine can sing soulfully and not have a soul, what does, what does that mean?
00:09:05.400
If it can sculpt beauty, generate things that can make you cry, but it, how does it know how, it doesn't have anything real inside of it.
00:09:16.000
If it can imitate genius, then what is our genius?
00:09:22.320
Let me start this conversation, we're going to go into this more on tomorrow's program, but let me just start this with, when you start to ask yourself, what does it mean to be a human?
00:09:33.680
A machine can produce, a machine can produce, and it can produce, and will produce better than you can, but it cannot care.
00:09:54.800
It can sing songs soulfully like it has suffered, but it can never walk through the valley of suffering.
00:10:02.720
It can analyze morality, but it can't instinctively choose right and wrong because it's serving a higher power.
00:10:20.260
It will never put itself between danger and a child.
00:10:24.360
It will never forgive because it's never really offended.
00:10:31.000
It will never bury a friend and carry that little piece of grief with them for the rest of their lives.
00:10:37.740
There's something different about humans, and it is, it's not about what we can do.
00:10:51.680
Only humans can look at something and say, damn it, I know all the odds are against me.
00:10:58.020
All reason goes against this, but I'm going to build it instead.
00:11:02.460
Only humans hear the call from deep within the, the whispering of the spirit or the ancient whispers that machines will never hear saying, live for something greater than yourself.
00:11:24.500
Only humans can take suffering and learn compassion.
00:11:28.180
Only humans can take fear and turn it into courage and bravery.
00:11:33.380
Only humans can take history, history and turn it into real wisdom.
00:11:39.460
We are making artificial minds, but we are not making artificial life.
00:11:45.000
But as these artificial minds begin to get better and better and their tools become better and better, it should not make us smaller.
00:12:06.420
The questions that man has been asking since the dawn of time.
00:12:11.060
What am I willing to endure for the sake of truth?
00:12:20.540
What is the purpose of the freedom that I have right now?
00:12:28.820
What's the spark inside of me that no machine will ever be able to copy?
00:12:40.240
That answer is going to be found in each of us, in each of our hearts.
00:12:48.200
And it's this weird, mysterious furnace where reason meets faith and memory becomes meaning and the divine echoes inside of us, reminding us that we are individuals, that we are here for a purpose.
00:13:03.960
That we can be forgiven, we can get stronger, we can rebuild, we can forget everything the world is saying and chart our own course.
00:13:15.780
That's what makes us humans and machines will not understand that.
00:13:19.540
Being human isn't what we can produce because you're going to see it's producing everything.
00:13:36.920
We can choose to create, not because we're told to create, not because we make money to create, but because there's something inside us that is so restless until we do create.
00:14:03.720
I don't, I don't, I paint because there's something inside of me that compels me to do it.
00:14:11.140
It can reproduce my brush strokes and make them better.
00:14:16.900
It can echo our stories, but it cannot replace the things that make us human.
00:14:22.620
The ability to forge meaning out of all of the things that we have suffered through.
00:14:27.800
The age of machines is rising, and it is going to diminish us if we don't figure out who we are and what our purpose is.
00:14:43.840
You may not find it, but recognize that stirring inside of you, and if it's not, you're already starting to lose your humanity.
00:15:00.980
It can urge us, find that, because I'm coming to replace everything else.
00:15:12.900
And that itself is a miracle that a machine cannot recreate.
00:15:19.620
Let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:15:24.700
I want to talk to you about buying and selling homes, because I just sold my home in Texas, just bought a home here in Florida.
00:15:31.540
And I will tell you, the right real estate agent makes all the difference in the world.
00:15:37.780
I tried to sell my house, I don't know, four or five years ago, and just couldn't do it.
00:15:44.680
This time, I didn't have a real estate agent from realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:15:48.500
This time, before I put my house up on the market, I said to the guy who's running real estate agents, I said, could you find a guy, you know, that would represent my house in this area, because we didn't have anybody.
00:16:07.020
I said to him in August, I said, look, here's my goal.
00:16:13.920
I just like to have it closed and done by November 1st.
00:16:28.040
When you're looking for somebody that will do what you're asking them to do and they know the market, they know how to sell your home, find that real estate agent at realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:16:41.080
This is my company, realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:16:45.820
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:16:48.260
Senator John Kennedy, how good to have you on, sir.
00:16:58.260
I want to talk to you about your new book, which I can't wait.
00:17:03.180
But let's start with let's start with the the the reopening of the government.
00:17:09.740
I think this is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
00:17:24.800
What, seven weeks ago, the country was just rocking along, minding its own business.
00:17:34.700
But we were talking with the Democrats about negotiating a new one.
00:17:38.960
And all of a sudden, at the last minute, Senator Schumer came to us and said, I'm going to stop negotiating.
00:17:46.040
I'm going to tell my people to vote to shut government down unless you give me one point five trillion dollars.
00:17:53.840
You got the one big, beautiful bill like a fish and you extend the Obamacare subsidies.
00:17:59.440
Well, I mean, you know, I'd rather I'd rather have a back alley colonoscopy than vote for something like that.
00:18:13.000
So we told Chuck, said, Chuck, short answer is no.
00:18:19.360
And Chuck just, I mean, his demands, Glenn, you had to have a you had to have an Excel spreadsheet to track them.
00:18:31.360
And so we just sat there and we didn't give up anything.
00:18:34.240
And eventually he had to go to to five or six of his colleagues to get them to bail him out.
00:18:54.320
The the Bolshevik wing, the loon wing of his party.
00:19:10.360
I think his testicles are on back order from China because he just wanted them.
00:19:23.140
Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is either going to if the Democrats take over the House,
00:19:29.260
he's either going to be the new new speaker or she's going to run against Schumer or she's going to run for president.
00:19:35.100
And her wing of the party, the Bolshevik wing, is in control.
00:19:58.200
He we don't agree on politics, but he plays outside the pocket.
00:20:07.280
Now, he's not popular among the loon wing of his party.
00:20:14.820
But statewide, people find him, as I do, refreshing.
00:20:22.220
Let me just tick off a couple of other things here real quick.
00:20:25.920
I just talked to the White House this week and they're dead serious about getting rid of the filibuster.
00:20:34.700
And I said, you know, maybe reform it, maybe go back to the way it was.
00:20:39.240
But please, let's not get rid of the the speed bump of the filibuster.
00:20:46.040
And they are convinced that we'll never get anything passed.
00:20:49.600
And the comment was these people that we're working against are completely unserious.
00:20:58.540
How do we get anything passed when they are roadblocking absolutely everything?
00:21:05.700
Well, I talked to the president, I don't know, last week.
00:21:16.700
But I finally learned that the role of the senator is really twofold.
00:21:21.500
Of course, it's to advance good ideas, but it's also to kill bad ideas.
00:21:26.540
And we killed a lot of bad ideas with the filibuster.
00:21:31.460
When when Joe Biden was president, my preference.
00:21:36.300
And I've been encouraging Senator Foon, who I don't think he agrees with me, but we did.
00:21:45.340
We passed a one big, beautiful bill without a single Democratic vote.
00:21:51.440
And we did it through reconciliation about which, you know, and we can do two more reconciliation bills.
00:21:59.760
And for seven weeks, eight weeks, a couple of months, we've done nothing in the Senate.
00:22:06.840
We need to get up off our ice cold, lazy butts and go pass another reconciliation bill that addresses the cost of housing and the cost of health insurance and the cost of living, the things that moms and dads are worried about when they lie down to sleep at night.
00:22:24.440
But I don't I don't I don't think that the president's going to give up on it right now.
00:22:30.660
I can tell you if if Thune brought it up for a vote among the Republicans, it wouldn't pass.
00:22:42.140
Where are they going to come down on these tariffs and then the role of the Senate?
00:22:47.000
Well, I don't know how they're going to come down.
00:22:53.180
I didn't go over there, but but I could get it by by audio.
00:23:01.740
The president is arguing that he's constering the statute.
00:23:06.520
IEPA is saying this is a foreign policy decision.
00:23:10.240
And traditionally, the U.S. Supreme Court does not interfere with the executive branch when it is addressing foreign policy.
00:23:17.460
The questions from the justices, with the exception of a couple, seem to be long lines of, well, why is it really foreign policy?
00:23:27.680
And the statute is plain and it doesn't mention tariffs.
00:23:33.060
But I learned long ago, you never predict what what the court's going to do based on oral argument.
00:23:54.780
There's no question the president is right that for years and years and years, other countries have taken advantage of America, particularly China.
00:24:06.600
We admitted China to the World Trade Organization.
00:24:18.780
And I like the idea of reining them in through tariffs.
00:24:26.840
If I had my druthers, here's what I would propose.
00:24:30.640
I don't think the president would agree with me, but I would go to every one of these countries and say, here's the deal.
00:24:37.260
If you reduce your tariffs to zero, America will reduce its tariffs to zero.
00:24:46.760
And then we'll let our companies compete on a level playing field and may the best product at the best price win.
00:24:58.160
Now, the president, I can tell you, I've talked to him.
00:25:03.560
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.
00:25:06.240
Hear more of this interview and others with the full show podcast available wherever you get podcasts.
00:25:12.460
Well, let's dive right into the Epstein Maxwell emails.
00:25:20.720
Why are they trying to cover up that Donald Trump had sex with children?
00:25:31.340
You know, he spent hours with one of the victims.
00:25:35.800
What else could possibly have occurred in that arrangement?
00:25:51.040
I want you to realize that the dog who hasn't barked is Trump.
00:26:13.720
Because in 2011, 2011, that was released and everybody knew it.
00:26:26.860
I want you to realize the dog who hasn't barked is Trump.
00:26:33.940
Why would you redact a name that is already out in the public square?
00:26:49.320
Well, because it makes it all suddenly new and shiny.
00:26:54.300
If you don't know who said it, you see victim and you're like,
00:27:00.440
But when you know it's Virginia, you know, this is already gone to court.
00:27:10.240
He didn't partake in any of this, any sex with any of it.
00:27:30.460
I wouldn't say they were friends, but my dad knew him and they would talk.
00:27:34.140
Have you ever been in Donald Trump or Jeffrey Epstein's presence with one another?
00:27:40.880
What's the basis of your statement that Donald Trump is a good friend of Jeffrey?
00:27:43.880
Jeffrey's told me that Donald Trump is a good friend of his.
00:27:46.420
He didn't partake in any of any of the sex with any of it.
00:27:54.180
It's true that he didn't partake in any sex with us, but it's not true that he flirted with me.
00:28:13.160
This is the same person that didn't she work at Mar-a-Lago or she was going to get a job at Mar-a-Lago?
00:28:25.680
We know that at Mar-a-Lago, Jeffrey Epstein would come and he was poaching the employees, the girls there, to go work for him.
00:28:35.500
And Donald Trump went to him and said, hey, man, stop it.
00:28:52.340
Now, that doesn't mean that he knew anything about the girls or what was happening or anything else.
00:28:58.320
And even if it did mean he knew something was happening with the girls, he was saying, hey, stop it.
00:29:04.000
Don't take any of the don't take any of the girls or the women here.
00:29:09.120
I don't believe he knew anything about any of this.
00:29:20.260
Donald Trump, he might end up beating Bezos as the richest man on the planet when all is said and done.
00:29:30.720
Because, again, they're presenting this as new fact, a giant scandal.
00:29:46.160
Yeah, I've heard Democratic representatives saying that over the past 24 hours.
00:29:55.020
And even ABC News, I heard, push back against this and say, well, what scandal?
00:30:09.120
And they're like, well, we always redact the name of victims.
00:30:12.280
Like, do you really, when they're already out publicly?
00:30:14.620
Not to mention, we should point out that this particular victim is not even alive.
00:30:31.120
But she has a book, a posthumous book coming out.
00:30:36.900
It's, you know, but, like, to act as if you have to protect her identity when, number one, she's dead.
00:30:44.000
Number two, everyone already knows who she was.
00:30:46.880
Including the news sources who also have a policy, you would think.
00:30:50.680
And ABC News has a policy that they would redact a victim that was in this type of situation.
00:30:57.820
So they redact it to make it look like he's with other people who have not already told us nothing bad occurred.
00:31:10.900
And at least one of those organizations pushed back.
00:31:18.420
Anyone who is presenting this as new information.
00:31:52.140
And if you did run with it, you should handle it the way ABC handled it.
00:31:56.720
Why, why would you redact the name that there's nothing new here?
00:32:02.020
She's already testified against exactly opposite of what you're believing.
00:32:09.780
Now, I just want to make sure we understand the Democrats here.
00:32:12.860
You're taking the word of Epstein over the victim.
00:32:19.240
And Epstein doesn't even say that anything occurred.
00:32:25.020
It's just, it would be something you'd have to jump to a conclusion to accuse Donald Trump
00:32:32.720
And we know what happened because the victim said nothing, said it was nothing.
00:32:39.700
In fact, it wasn't even a flirtation, which by the way, you know, even that you might think
00:32:45.000
It wouldn't even have been a crime, but it wasn't even flirtation.
00:32:49.280
So I, it's just, it's, it's a disgrace in every single way.
00:32:56.600
Um, if you remember when the shutdown first started, what did the Democrats say?
00:33:04.500
The reason why they did the shutdown, not them, why Mike Johnson and everybody else wouldn't
00:33:15.580
Because the heat was on to release the Epstein files and they didn't want to have to do that.
00:33:29.400
It doesn't make any, I know, any sense at all, but that is probably what they said.
00:33:38.400
He said the house is going to vote on a bill to release all of the files related to the
00:33:42.480
late financier, uh, convicted child sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein next week.
00:33:47.320
He said on Wednesday that a discharge position to bypass leadership and force a vote on the
00:33:54.740
It's been decided by him to expedite the vote for the bill, which under the current rules
00:34:00.060
could have been delayed until at least early December.
00:34:02.500
So as he says, as soon as that petition hit the needed 218 signatures, I brought it up, unanimous
00:34:24.860
I mean, if anybody thinks that you're ever going to get the truth on this in the first
00:34:31.340
Everybody, I mean, so many important people were involved in this and it was in the hands
00:34:47.660
And, and if there was anything about Donald Trump, you don't think that would have come
00:35:16.960
The guy was the most investigated person in the history of the world.
00:35:28.640
But if you think you're going to catch a bunch of people on the left, you're not going to
00:35:32.580
because they had it, you know, in their possession.
00:35:35.760
You don't think all of the names were taken out.
00:35:39.900
If there was anything, I believe there was something, but I don't believe there's any
00:35:49.000
You're just not going to get the truth, but release everything that we have everything.
00:35:56.040
Oh, by the way, also in the Epstein emails, how come nobody's talking about this one,
00:36:03.400
Stu, this one is from Michael Wolfe to Jeffrey Epstein, and then Jeffrey Epstein responds.
00:36:11.540
So Michael Wolfe writes, what's the thumbnail on Nesbaum Foster?
00:36:17.460
And Jeffrey Epstein writes back, Nesbaum White House counsel, dot, dot, dot, Hillary doing
00:36:24.400
Now, Vince Foster killed himself, you know, and then he killed himself in the White House
00:36:31.840
and then drug himself across the street to the park.
00:36:38.120
The Vince Foster thing is so old, but why is nobody talking about that one?
00:36:45.820
Also in the Jeffrey Epstein email bundle, ABC, you don't feel that's necessary to bring
