The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Todd Bensman ｜ 5⧸15⧸23

00:00:00.340 These poor people are at the beginning of the show right now, and they're like, what could happen today? What's going to be discussed?

00:00:04.540 They have no idea.

00:00:04.780 They have no idea where this is going to go.

00:00:06.240 No idea what kind of ride they're... I mean, this is, you know, this is like, take your hands and place them on the steering wheel, and bear down a bit, because we're about to hit launch.

00:00:18.180 Right.

00:00:18.540 And all your organs are going to just, like, hit the back of the seat after about one and a half seconds.

00:00:24.580 To give you just some idea, I ended the show pleading for it to actually stop early so we could end the madness.

00:00:32.920 I think that was a real true pledge.

00:00:34.900 Oh, yeah.

00:00:35.120 I think that was like a plea.

00:00:36.060 He was like, please, how do we make this show over?

00:00:38.680 Just stop.

00:00:39.660 Because every minute we got closer and closer to being taken off the air forever.

00:00:43.840 Well, it was a good show.

00:00:45.180 Yeah.

00:00:45.780 They often are.

00:00:46.920 You like truth.

00:00:47.520 Until there's no more shows.

00:00:49.380 This is the show for you.

00:00:50.540 There you go.

00:00:52.080 Brought to you by Relief Factor.

00:00:55.260 Oh, I had some things to say about Relief Factor today, too, didn't I?

00:00:59.380 Yeah, I did.

00:01:00.380 That one I probably should probably take back, you know.

00:01:04.920 Not that it was a lie, just it'll cost me money.

00:01:09.100 And that is much more important than the truth, don't you think, Stu?

00:01:12.280 Mm-hmm.

00:01:12.560 Anyway, Relief Factor.

00:01:15.180 He's dead inside after the day show.

00:01:17.320 This is the first time I've worn him out.

00:01:20.600 I've dealt with severe pain for years.

00:01:22.540 Relief Factor was the thing that really helped me.

00:01:25.340 I didn't believe it would work because it was some boob like me on the radio saying that it would work.

00:01:30.220 And my wife heard it.

00:01:31.820 And she's like, have you tried Relief Factor?

00:01:34.020 I'm like, no, it's some boob on the radio.

00:01:36.060 What is it?

00:01:37.100 I don't know why I dismissed it, but she didn't.

00:01:39.900 And so I started taking it.

00:01:42.400 And it worked for me.

00:01:44.220 In three weeks, I saw a difference.

00:01:46.440 And I've been taking it ever since.

00:01:47.880 Try the three-week quick start.

00:01:49.500 $19.95 trial pack.

00:01:50.960 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.

00:01:53.420 70% of them go on to order more.

00:01:55.660 ReliefFactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.

00:01:58.340 800, the number for relief.

00:02:01.280 ReliefFactor.com.

00:02:02.640 Feel the difference.

00:02:03.900 Here's the podcast.

00:02:04.800 Good luck.

00:02:05.120 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:18.900 Oh, my gosh.

00:02:19.860 Have you seen the border is great?

00:02:21.940 Going well.

00:02:22.680 Is great.

00:02:23.720 Never been better.

00:02:24.880 Well.

00:02:26.340 Well, maybe.

00:02:27.400 But it's fixed now.

00:02:29.500 At least that's what you hear from the wonderful and just lovely, talented dancers at the White House this weekend.

00:02:40.000 And fortunately for them, all of the people in the media.

00:02:44.360 You know, I've been thinking about, oh, the future.

00:02:50.600 And my first thought is, don't make any plans.

00:02:54.600 My second thought, my second thought is, you know, we're waking up.

00:03:00.540 America really is waking up.

00:03:02.640 I have some stuff that came out a few years ago from Klaus Schwab that nobody would have believed, you know, when it came out originally seven years ago.

00:03:11.280 And now it's starting to make the rounds again.

00:03:13.780 And people are like, did you know about this Klaus Schwab guy?

00:03:17.420 And now the good news is he can't say that stuff anymore.

00:03:21.420 I mean, that may be bad news because now they just keep it in secret.

00:03:25.220 But we know now that they're keeping stuff in secret.

00:03:28.140 So we're past their voodoo magic. 0.98

00:03:31.280 You know what I mean?

00:03:31.720 Part of the problems with their strategy, which is always first deny.

00:03:35.640 Yeah.

00:03:36.040 Is that they usually go on record on this stuff before people know what it is.

00:03:40.040 They can't.

00:03:40.400 They will openly discuss it.

00:03:41.660 They can't wait.

00:03:42.260 They think that they're in the majority.

00:03:43.620 Or I think a better understanding of this is that they really don't care about the average person.

00:03:56.660 I've got some stuff.

00:03:58.120 In fact, would you call Ricky and ask her to get hold of Tristan and see if I can get that quote he gave me last week?

00:04:07.200 Like, there's unbelievable stuff going on with these people who just think they're better than everybody else.

00:04:15.260 And I just want to ask you where we are on this.

00:04:18.860 When I first read this from Rudyard Kipling, Gods of the Copybook Headings, I thought, wow, that's pretty good.

00:04:26.280 What the hell does that mean?

00:04:27.300 And then I did my research on it and found out that Rudyard Kipling was a guy who was standing against all of these experts right before World War I who were like, you know what?

00:04:37.800 It's going to be great.

00:04:39.180 Ah, yeah, a few people will die, but we're going to be able to restructure all of Europe and it'll be a utopia.

00:04:47.120 And he's like, yeah, but people are going to die.

00:04:51.100 A lot of them.

00:04:52.620 I don't think so.

00:04:53.960 I don't think so.

00:04:54.520 I do and the people aren't for the dying part of your plan.

00:05:00.020 Yeah, they don't know.

00:05:02.040 So after World War I, he decided to write a warning for anybody who cared to listen.

00:05:10.180 He said because it would happen again.

00:05:12.440 The same experts would come up.

00:05:15.480 Now, this is something that I really want to make clear.

00:05:19.640 Don't listen to the experts.

00:05:22.760 Okay.

00:05:24.520 Tell me what one of these experts has gotten right.

00:05:29.120 Tell me what the Treasury or the Fed has gotten right.

00:05:32.340 Tell me what the experts at the Pentagon have gotten right.

00:05:35.700 Tell me what the banking community has done right.

00:05:38.480 I mean the big banks, the experts in the big banks.

00:05:42.020 What have they gotten right?

00:05:43.600 Stop listening to them.

00:05:47.880 Listen to yourself.

00:05:49.120 This is the biggest difference between the progressive era and America.

00:05:54.160 America used to say, you know, I know this is a hundred and some years ago, but we used

00:05:59.220 to say, believe in the people.

00:06:01.380 Believe in the people.

00:06:02.660 They're going to get it wrong from time to time, but they'll eventually figure it out and

00:06:05.980 get it right.

00:06:07.060 Believe in the people for inventions.

00:06:09.140 Believe in the people for advancement.

00:06:10.800 Now, our entire society is geared to the people are ridiculously stupid and don't even talk

00:06:19.800 to them.

00:06:20.180 Don't even tell them the truth.

00:06:21.760 They don't need to know the truth.

00:06:23.340 That's a lie.

00:06:27.720 And we are stupid and uninformed because we've been treated this way for about a hundred and

00:06:33.000 some years.

00:06:33.660 And so everybody's like, I don't know.

00:06:35.860 I don't have a degree in Flammabalowicz University.

00:06:42.980 So why should I have opinions?

00:06:47.100 If you're not a biologist, surely you can't know what a woman is. 0.51

00:06:50.460 Exactly right.

00:06:51.220 Exactly right.

00:06:52.720 I go to a nightclub or something and I'm like, I don't know.

00:06:57.100 Are you a dude?

00:06:58.380 Are you a woman?

00:07:00.040 I don't think there should be a problem of me finding out when we finally, you know,

00:07:06.820 hitch up whether a man or a woman. 0.89

00:07:09.620 And it makes no difference to me because I didn't go to some fancy university.

00:07:14.440 Okay, so let me just take you through this and tell me where we are, Stu.

00:07:19.900 I think we're on the right side of this now.

00:07:25.840 I think all the bad stuff is really starting to, has already started to happen.

00:07:30.440 And so we're like, oh, wait a minute.

00:07:32.740 That poem that that Rudyard guy wrote might have been right.

00:07:38.400 So listen to this.

00:07:40.180 As I pass through my incarnations of every age and race, I make the proper prestations to the gods of the marketplace.

00:07:51.480 Peering through reverent fingers, I watch them flourish and fall.

00:07:55.200 And the gods of the copybook headings, I noticed, outlast them all.

00:07:58.960 So gods of the copybook headings, just a quick reminder.

00:08:02.840 Those are the things that you used to have to write at the top of the page when you were in school.

00:08:07.420 You'd practice your cursive or your letters and you would, you know, water will wet, fire will burn.

00:08:13.640 All the things that everybody agreed on.

00:08:16.960 In the old days, God is good.

00:08:19.880 And you would trace those and those were all things that everybody knew was true.

00:08:24.220 And so he's saying here, you know, I, I've, I've already genuflected to all of the modern gods and I watched them through my, my folded hands as I'm praying to them.

00:08:38.040 And I noticed that, uh, the things that we always said were true outlast that every time over and over and over again.

00:08:47.800 We were living in the trees when they met us, the things that are true.

00:08:52.660 They showed us each in turn that water would certainly wet us and fire would certainly burn.

00:08:59.320 Now, here's the new part that we were entering into just a couple decades ago.

00:09:05.620 But we found them lacking in uplift, vision, breadth of mind.

00:09:11.900 So we left them to teach the gorillas while we followed the march of mankind. 1.00

00:09:18.520 Happen?

00:09:19.200 We're the gorillas, by the way, the non-experts.

00:09:22.680 The one that didn't go to Flubwoman Witch University. 1.00

00:09:27.440 And I got a decree and, uh, you know, things that chicks do that they don't like. 1.00

00:09:35.380 Well, we don't call them chicks because I have a university document.

00:09:40.400 Okay?

00:09:41.120 We're the gorillas left behind.

00:09:43.240 We moved, as the spirit listed, but they never altered their pace, being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the gods of the marketplace.

00:09:55.500 But they always caught up with our progress.

00:09:57.900 And presently, word would come that a tribe had been wiped off its ice field and the lights had gone out in Rome.

00:10:04.240 Let me ask you, does that sound a little like, oh, I don't know, California?

00:10:08.120 We're going into this great utopia where everything's going to be marvelous and energy is going to be flowing like rivers, which we shall never dam.

00:10:21.100 But it's going to be flowing like crazy with this new kind of energy that we don't really have.

00:10:29.120 And even though our weather is perfect year-round, we don't really have really cold temperatures or really hot temperatures, but we're constantly experiencing our power going out.

00:10:45.520 Yeah, you guys just do what we're doing.

00:10:48.240 You'll love it in Buffalo.

00:10:49.460 Okay?

00:10:51.640 That's what he's saying here.

00:10:53.900 Yeah, we noticed maybe that, like, the lights have gone out.

00:10:59.220 With the hopes that our world is built on that they were utterly out of touch.

00:11:05.240 Isn't that what we are?

00:11:06.560 We're just hoping.

00:11:08.720 Yeah, maybe they, maybe those windmill things will work.

00:11:14.960 Right?

00:11:15.520 Because, because people who like natural gas stoves, well, they're out of touch and they don't want to save babies and children and air and stuff.

00:11:28.460 Mm-hmm.

00:11:29.540 Let's see how that's going to work out for you.

00:11:31.520 With the hopes that our world is built on that they were utterly out of touch.

00:11:37.040 I mean, they denied the moon was Stilton.

00:11:40.200 They denied she was even Dutch.

00:11:42.460 Now, doesn't that sound like a conversation we would have at some point?

00:11:48.580 You know, the moon is actually Dutch. 0.88

00:11:52.920 What?

00:11:53.960 What do you mean, what?

00:11:55.780 Everyone knows the moon is Dutch. 0.98

00:11:58.840 From Holland.

00:11:59.680 Are you out of your mind?

00:12:02.680 You are a dangerous extremist for not admitting that the moon comes from Holland.

00:12:10.500 That's where we are.

00:12:12.760 Yes.

00:12:15.200 But they also denied that wishes were horses.

00:12:18.960 And we all know that horses are wishes.

00:12:22.360 And wishes are horses.

00:12:24.520 And they denied that pigs had wings.

00:12:27.080 So, we worship the gods of the market who promised us all of these things.

00:12:34.220 Oh, yeah.

00:12:34.780 Don't worry, guys.

00:12:36.540 No, no, no.

00:12:37.040 We understand the market.

00:12:39.440 Yeah, we can print as much money and spend as much money as we want.

00:12:45.100 And inflation won't be a problem.

00:12:48.340 It'll be transitory.

00:12:50.820 Yeah.

00:12:51.820 Yeah, it generally is transitory.

00:12:54.220 It gets really, really bad, and then everybody is wiped out, and money has no value.

00:12:59.600 So, I guess, I guess that's transitory, because there's nobody left to buy any food or eat.

00:13:09.300 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:13:11.580 But we're going to promise you these wonderful things.

00:13:15.080 Now, what have they been promising us?

00:13:17.040 Money.

00:13:17.740 You can have it all.

00:13:18.760 Well, the market really over you.

00:13:21.260 Don't worry about the little people.

00:13:23.080 Just look at the stock market.

00:13:24.460 How's it doing?

00:13:25.740 Equity.

00:13:26.640 We're going to end all hatred.

00:13:28.960 Yeah.

00:13:29.760 People won't hate anybody anymore if you just listen to what we say.

00:13:34.880 But we have to do a few things first.

00:13:37.640 And what are the few things?

00:13:38.800 I can't believe that this country hasn't banned the gun yet.

00:13:45.140 But we have a problem with guns.

00:13:48.660 No, we really don't.

00:13:50.460 We have a problem with the wrong people having guns.

00:13:54.720 And when I say the wrong people, I mean the crazy people.

00:14:00.120 The people that want to do these things.

00:14:03.240 So, why is there an increase in that?

00:14:06.980 Oh, I don't know.

00:14:08.680 I mean, they're all the people that know that the moon is Dutch, right?

00:14:16.380 Oh, yes.

00:14:16.980 Yes, they are.

00:14:17.740 Lately.

00:14:18.280 Mm-hmm.

00:14:19.640 Okay, so I don't know.

00:14:20.880 It must be the gun.

00:14:23.260 More in just a second.

00:14:25.380 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:14:28.460 Sometimes sleep is hard.

00:14:29.980 You wouldn't think it would be something that was difficult to accomplish.

00:14:34.460 I never did when I was a teenager.

00:14:36.200 Can I tell you something?

00:14:38.680 Sleep is wasted on the young. 0.80

00:14:41.940 Okay?

00:14:42.260 When you're young, all you want to do is just sleep all day and then go screw off.

00:14:48.560 When you need it, you're working and you've been working long, long, long hours that turn

00:14:55.380 into decades and then you get a little bitter and you can't sleep at night and you get a little

00:15:00.180 more bitter and then pretty soon you're like, I don't know if the moon is from Holland.

00:15:06.920 And you could use a little sleep.

00:15:09.900 I say, try relief factor sleep.

00:15:14.240 Relief factor sleep is 100% drug-free with its blend of natural ingredients and is designed

00:15:20.040 to promote healthy sleep.

00:15:22.420 I wouldn't mind a few nights of unhealthy sleep myself if that's what it takes.

00:15:28.240 But healthy sleep is better, they say.

00:15:32.460 And I know that it works.

00:15:34.280 It's relief factor sleep.

00:15:36.340 20 bucks to get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment.

00:15:40.060 You're not going to get that deal on the street from, you know, some drug dealer coming out

00:15:43.820 of Mexico, I didn't reverse, I didn't say that.

00:15:47.820 Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800, the number four, relief, 800, the number

00:15:53.940 four, relief, or go to relieffactor.com.

00:15:57.540 Relief sleep from relieffactor.com.

00:16:00.320 Dream big and sleep tight.

00:16:03.200 10 seconds, station ID.

00:16:04.260 All right, okay.

00:16:13.180 So, Stu, what have you learned so far?

00:16:17.100 That is fabulous, and thank you for sharing.

00:16:19.480 I think you're right up to speed.

00:16:20.440 No, I haven't answered that.

00:16:21.300 No, that's great.

00:16:21.760 No, what have we learned so far?

00:16:23.100 The guy who's going to mock the Wubba Schnutz University for being elitist is the same guy

00:16:29.640 who not only went to Yale, but is currently wearing a Yale t-shirt.

00:16:32.860 This is radio, man.

00:16:34.240 Nobody knows it.

00:16:36.280 Don't mention the Blaze TV or Pluto TV or anything like that.

00:16:40.360 Okay, got it.

00:16:40.680 They don't know.

00:16:41.220 They're stupid.

00:16:41.880 Okay, good, good, good, good.

00:16:42.880 They didn't go to the university like I did.

00:16:45.120 So, what we learned is they got to take care of a few things, and Rudyard Kipling said they

00:16:51.020 will come up with a few things that you have to do first.

00:16:54.080 And he wrote, when the Cabrian measures were forming, they promised us perpetual peace.

00:16:59.920 They swore if we gave them our weapons, the wars of the tribes would cease.

00:17:07.040 Do we have tribes now here in America?

00:17:09.720 No.

00:17:10.580 Yeah.

00:17:11.060 No?

00:17:11.880 Okay.

00:17:12.520 Well.

00:17:13.620 But then they disarmed us, and they sold us and delivered us bound to our foe.

00:17:20.600 And the gods of the copybook headings said, stick to the devil you know.

00:17:27.060 Okay.

00:17:27.760 What else are they taking care of?

00:17:29.960 Well, we've got to make sure that you can't define a woman. 1.00

00:17:34.200 All right?

00:17:35.260 Because we're destroying the family.

00:17:37.180 I mean, we're helping people be more enlightened.

00:17:39.560 Roger Kipling said, on the first Feminine Sandstones, we were promised the fuller life, which started

00:17:48.660 by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife.

00:17:53.400 See, it all starts with, this is good.

00:17:57.280 This is what Jesus would do.

00:17:59.840 This is what he wants you to love your neighbor.

00:18:02.600 Wow.

00:18:03.660 And your neighbor's wife is kind of hot. 1.00

00:18:05.780 You know what I'm saying?

00:18:06.520 Forget that family stuff.

00:18:07.940 And all of a sudden, you're like, where's Jesus?

00:18:09.940 I don't know.

00:18:11.280 Maybe he's arguing about Holland.

00:18:14.680 Anyway.

00:18:16.860 Though we had plenty of, oh, I'm sorry.

00:18:19.200 Till our women had no more children. 0.52

00:18:23.500 How many people are you hearing today going, I'm excited to have kids.

00:18:26.260 This is an exciting place for kids to be.

00:18:29.100 I can't wait to have a bunch of kids.

00:18:32.280 Okay?

00:18:32.900 Till our women had no more children, and men had lost reason and faith.

00:18:40.560 I don't, sounds kind of, huh.

00:18:43.460 And the gods of the copybook heading said, the wages of sin is death.

00:18:49.280 See, that's kind of an important thing.

00:18:51.000 That's kind of like, you know, you do things that are bad.

00:18:55.340 Oh, there might be a Soros DA here that will get you off. 0.60

00:18:59.360 But Soros doesn't represent anyone at the bar of judgment.

00:19:05.380 And by the way, the judgment bar, there's no liquor served.

00:19:09.600 In the Carboniferous epic, we were promised abundance for all.

00:19:16.700 By robbing, selected Peter to pay for collective Paul.

00:19:20.900 I don't think I even need to explain that, do I?

00:19:24.060 Though we had plenty of money.

00:19:25.980 Oh, we're going to have plenty of money soon.

00:19:28.640 There was nothing our money could buy.

00:19:30.760 And the gods of the copybook heading said, if you do not work, you shall die.

00:19:37.540 Who has plenty of money right now?

00:19:39.940 Oh, the people that were getting all of the doles.

00:19:42.600 They're getting everything, you know, don't worry.

00:19:45.280 No, no, no, don't worry.

00:19:46.600 You can't afford that house.

00:19:47.820 I tell you what, those guys, see Peter over there?

00:19:50.800 He's got that nice house.

00:19:52.120 He doesn't even know how nice he's got it.

00:19:53.800 He's going to pay extra for his house so you can have your house.

00:20:00.020 Wait a minute.

00:20:01.220 What?

00:20:02.540 Yeah.

00:20:03.160 And Paul loves the idea.

00:20:05.180 Peter, not so happy about it.

00:20:08.760 What's the lesson?

00:20:11.060 Hmm.

00:20:11.720 Maybe you shouldn't take the dole.

00:20:14.280 Maybe you should work.

00:20:16.240 Or you shall die.

00:20:20.440 That's a copybook heading.

00:20:21.900 They deny that pigs have wings.

00:20:24.840 So, okay.

00:20:26.080 I'm going to wrap this all up.

00:20:27.960 Where are we on this cycle?

00:20:31.260 Where are we?

00:20:33.960 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:20:36.160 And don't forget, rate us on iTunes.

00:20:39.600 Todd Benzman joins us now.

00:20:41.080 He's the author of Overrun and also a fellow, a senior fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.

00:20:49.140 He has been down on the border.

00:20:50.720 He is not in Mexico anymore.

00:20:53.820 Thank goodness.

00:20:54.600 Welcome back.

00:20:55.700 How are you, Todd?

00:20:56.500 Thanks, Todd.

00:20:57.120 Great.

00:20:57.540 Thanks for having me.

00:20:58.360 Just got back last night, back to Austin.

00:21:00.660 So, tell me what, so you're not really in America even.

00:21:04.420 So, tell me what you saw over the weekend at the border.

00:21:15.600 Sure.

00:21:16.220 Well, throughout the week, of course, it was just a storming of the border, thousands and thousands crossing through Matamoros to Brownsville.

00:21:28.800 And I was there on the Mexican side watching them go. 0.88

00:21:33.060 So, eventually, the Texas governor was able to shut that down by, for the first time ever, deploying tactical units of the National Guard and DPS, Texas Department of Public Safety, right down on the riverbank behind a razor wire.

00:21:54.420 And would not let the immigrants pass, no matter what they did. 1.00

00:21:58.820 They just would not.

00:21:59.600 And they had pepper balls, you know, to fire at them if it got out of hand.

00:22:05.280 But they shut down that hole, and that was the biggest hole in the border.

00:22:11.180 Then Title 42 ended, and we are seeing kind of a pause, not just because of what Texas did, but there's general sort of nervousness about the new strategy, the new Biden strategy about, you know, how they can exploit it.

00:22:29.360 They have not figured out quite yet how to exploit it.

00:22:32.420 But what I would tell you is that there are huge loopholes in this thing that are sitting there ready to be discovered.

00:22:39.900 And when I was in Reynosa a few days ago, which is 40, 50 miles upriver from Matamoros, at least 15,000 Haitians pooled up there, all just in a tizzy and swirling around about, you know, what is the new strategy, Biden strategy?

00:23:00.900 And there were NGOs throughout that camp who were explaining to them, you know, what the new strategy is and undoubtedly what the loopholes are.

00:23:12.520 So my anticipation is that before too long, they will figure it out.

00:23:18.140 Immigrants are smart people.

00:23:20.000 They pay very close attention to any, you know, any crevice, any way they can kind of get around the new regime.

00:23:29.120 And I do anticipate that there will be a gradual increase over time and then back to normal again.

00:23:38.100 Every time there's a major policy change, there's a kind of a pause down there on the border while people figure it out.

00:23:45.500 So I think that's where we are right now.

00:23:47.240 Well, the administration is taking victory laps over this, but it's a little bit early for any kind of a victory lap because that underestimates the cunning and caginess of the huge population down there.

00:24:03.380 And the NGOs and the lawyers that are all down there championing for them about what's what's happening.

00:24:10.820 And I can pause there.

00:24:12.680 There's one more thing I'd like to say about something a little bit different, but I could pause it.

00:24:18.020 No, go ahead.

00:24:19.080 Go ahead.

00:24:19.360 Okay, so one of the main cornerstones of the new strategy is this pre-legalization scheme.

00:24:28.580 They're handing out humanitarian permits to thousands and thousands now down there, kind of like a pressure cooker, you know, steam escape, right?

00:24:39.980 Kind of a way to like there's hope, right?

00:24:42.580 We'll let you in this legal way.

00:24:45.120 And so they have really opened the aperture on that.

00:24:50.640 They were letting in, you know, 30,000 a month of four or five different nationalities, and they have widened that up open to tens of thousands more for every kind of all nationalities can just get pre-legalized on an app like a restaurant reservation app on your phone.

00:25:14.100 And when you do that, don't you get a court date like at 2035?

00:25:19.320 Yeah, well, you can.

00:25:21.040 I mean, initially, they just let you in on a humanitarian parole.

00:25:24.220 The humanitarian parole is good for up to two years, and they give you work authorization and everything.

00:25:31.560 And I'll point out that they claim that they're vetting everybody.

00:25:34.400 They're not vetting anybody, and they're also giving out 99% of all applicants who even apply for it.

00:25:44.000 So they're not even declining anybody.

00:25:46.040 It's just an escape, a steam escape hatch kind of a thing.

00:25:50.980 And when I crossed back over yesterday morning from Matamoros to Brownsville on the bridge, the line of people who had been granted CBP-1 humanitarian parole was 100 yards long, three feet deep, three, four feet deep, 100 yards long.

00:26:10.320 And it just goes on and on like that.

00:26:12.600 They're just pouring in.

00:26:14.400 They would have come in illegally.

00:26:16.040 Now they can't be counted as illegal.

00:26:17.920 But keep in mind that that is going on all along the border, just thousands and thousands more being just brought in this way.

00:26:26.540 So when they claim a victory lap, they're not telling you about that operation.

00:26:33.080 And that operation is under court challenge right now.

00:26:36.960 Twenty states, including Texas, have challenged the legality of that.

00:26:43.040 I'm not a lawyer, but it's illegal.

00:26:45.280 I'm sorry.

00:26:45.940 It's just completely on its face is illegal.

00:26:48.160 And at any moment, a federal judge in the Fifth Circuit is going to strike that thing down, and then they won't have that escape hatch anymore.

00:27:00.040 And that is something that needs to be watched as well.

00:27:02.340 I have to tell you, this is an invasion, not by a nation, but it is an invasion into our country. 0.92

00:27:13.100 This is when they open the gates at Rome.

00:27:18.160 They just let everybody in, and there weren't enough Roman citizens to keep it Rome. 0.95

00:27:24.440 And that's not a race thing.

00:27:28.060 That's nothing.

00:27:29.360 All I want is a group of people that understand the Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and our Bill of Rights.

00:27:38.100 If you want to do that, I welcome you here.

00:27:41.340 I welcome you.

00:27:42.520 But they're not coming for any of that.

00:27:45.060 And I don't know why the governor of Texas is acting more like the governor of Massachusetts at this point.

00:27:57.120 I don't know why we are not calling it an invasion, and the government has let the people down.

00:28:04.120 Well, yeah, I mean, so one thing about Greg Abbott and what he did down there is, you know, a lot of people are saying it was too late.

00:28:15.680 You know, I mean, this thing's been going on for two and a half years.

00:28:18.120 And so he gets criticized for whatever he does.

00:28:21.920 But I will say that, you know, I was on the ground there, and I was the first to report it.

00:28:27.600 And, in fact, I'm told that the governor ordered this as a result of my videos showing these people just pouring through unopposed.

00:28:36.700 And he was angry about it and said, get our people down there and shut it down.

00:28:40.700 But that was one border crossing, one.

00:28:47.740 Yes, it was a big one, but it was one.

00:28:50.200 And he's saying that from this point forward, and you can look for this, you know, hold them to account,

00:28:57.460 that he's going to have these rapid reaction teams that will run to any place that's being overrun and on federal land and do this.

00:29:07.240 The Biden administration is saying that they think it's illegal, and they've got the Department of Justice exploring ways to shut down the governor's operation.

00:29:20.380 So this thing's not over.

00:29:21.960 We're going to probably hear more about this one way or another, what the governor is doing.

00:29:26.420 But I will say that when I talked to all the immigrants for two days after that, that they were saying, we're not crossing now because those troopers over there won't let us through.

00:29:37.040 So we're not even going to try.

00:29:38.660 And Mexican immigration officials on the ground, when I asked them how come nobody's crossing, they said it's because of them over there. 0.99

00:29:45.700 So I believe that this shows that they could do something.

00:29:51.280 Of course they can.

00:29:52.580 Of course they can.

00:29:53.680 Yeah.

00:29:54.140 And he won't be able to not do this again now that he's shown that it works.

00:30:00.160 So anyway, there's that.

00:30:01.500 Maybe it's late, but it's – listen, I've been down there for two and a half years covering this thing, Glenn.

00:30:08.760 And I – in the two and a half years, all I have ever seen is just mass storming of the border with a welcome committee over there on our side.

00:30:18.880 A red carpet, welcome wagon, watch your step, move up to the left, up the riverbank.

00:30:26.040 There's a processing over there.

00:30:27.420 You'll get your number punched.

00:30:29.200 And that's all it's ever been.

00:30:30.820 And this is the first time I actually saw big brawny guys with guns saying, you will not pass.

00:30:37.400 So, I mean, I'm glad to see it.

00:30:39.700 That's nice.

00:30:40.440 Now, one of the things that happened, we had somebody cross over that's on a wanted list.

00:30:45.720 Do you know anything about that?

00:30:47.220 And how many of these people do you think have come through from our enemies?

00:30:53.960 That's a major problem.

00:30:55.720 That's an Afghan. 0.98

00:30:56.660 He's on the FBI watch list.

00:30:58.680 Last year we had 98 of those that we apprehended.

00:31:02.080 We've had 80 just so far.

00:31:03.780 Actually, I think it's more than 80 just so far in this fiscal year.

00:31:08.380 That is a huge number of people on a terror watch list.

00:31:12.640 Also, there's video fresh out in the Yuma area of just hundreds and hundreds of Egyptians and Sudanese crossing in last night.

00:31:26.060 Sudanese, Egyptian, and Mauritanians, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.

00:31:30.560 They're tossing their identifications and passports and all of that on the Mexican side before they cross. 0.72

00:31:37.760 That's the reason they're coming in is because the new strategy, the Biden strategy of expedited removal can't be applied to them as easily right now because, you know, they live in countries that won't accept them or where we don't have agreements to send them yet.

00:31:57.460 And so those are the people that are crossing in right now.

00:32:00.040 Very disturbing.

00:32:01.960 This is a national security crisis as well as a mass migration crisis more generally.

00:32:10.160 Todd, I can't just, you know, we, for those of us who lived through September 11th, they would never forget.

00:32:16.880 We are worse.

00:32:18.360 We would slap ourselves silly if we could meet ourselves of 20-some years ago.

00:32:24.140 Todd, thank you so much.

00:32:26.120 That's a great way to put that.

00:32:27.460 I'm going to steal that.

00:32:29.300 You steal from me, you've stolen twice, Todd.

00:32:31.280 Thank you.

00:32:32.600 God bless.

00:32:33.640 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:36.540 Man, Stu, it's good to be alive today in America, isn't it?

00:32:40.440 I love it.

00:32:41.740 I love it.

00:32:43.440 Lots of great things happening.

00:32:44.780 There is.

00:32:45.180 Nothing but positives.

00:32:46.100 No.

00:32:46.860 Well, maybe a couple.

00:32:48.880 And we're going to get into the Joe Biden crime family.

00:32:52.200 Look, I'm going to ask you for a favor.

00:32:56.300 Maybe someday, you know, hope that day never comes.

00:33:00.000 But you will do it for me when I give you this little gift here of snuffing out a friend of yours.

00:33:09.240 What was that last part?

00:33:11.120 I'm just saying, the Biden crime family, we have that update coming up in just a minute.

00:33:17.660 And for anybody who is, I don't know, what would you say?

00:33:21.920 Fed up?

00:33:22.840 Tired of it?

00:33:23.760 Tired of looking at the news and going, this really isn't that hard.

00:33:27.320 These are criminal activities.

00:33:29.860 What's happening here?

00:33:32.340 I suggest you join us this week.

00:33:34.820 We are going to do, first, our special on AI, which I'll get to in a minute.

00:33:40.540 That's on the Wednesday night special.

00:33:42.480 A must see.

00:33:44.480 I feel it's like the basic of the basics.

00:33:48.460 But who was it that was watching it?

00:33:52.580 Somebody that I really respect.

00:33:55.700 No, it couldn't have been Ricky, my executive producer.

00:33:57.700 I think it was Ricky, my executive producer.

00:34:00.060 So I forget the respect thing.

00:34:01.540 Anyway, she was watching it.

00:34:05.260 And she said, I said, you know, I just think this is so basic.

00:34:10.040 And she said, yes.

00:34:12.200 And I understand it, really, for the first time.

00:34:15.120 So it is really something to get you in and understanding what is coming on AI.

00:34:23.240 Very important.

00:34:24.240 That's Wednesday.

00:34:24.800 Then, on Thursday night, we're doing a live special, network-wide.

00:34:31.700 I think Mark Levin is going to be joining me on this.

00:34:36.140 And we're going to be taking questions from the audience after, right, immediately following the special.

00:34:41.020 Biggest chalkboard ever on the Biden crime family.

00:34:45.660 Oh, maybe I could dress as a mobster. 0.56

00:34:48.260 That'd be fun.

00:34:49.220 Anyway, so that's happening on Thursday night.

00:34:54.260 You don't want to miss it.

00:34:55.220 If you're a little fed up, I am.

00:34:57.380 I'd like to hear what you're fed up about.

00:35:00.000 All you do is just go on to Twitter and just tweet.

00:35:05.320 What is it that you're – because I'm a little fed up of being looked at as the criminal

00:35:10.140 because I've done legal activities like buy a gun and then people who are actual criminals, they get away.

00:35:19.260 I'm tired of seeing stories like the guy who actually saved people, potentially, on the train in New York, the subway,

00:35:29.760 and now he's arrested for manslaughter.

00:35:33.320 I don't know.

00:35:34.480 I'm fed up.

00:35:35.900 I'm fed up.

00:35:36.640 I, on Thursday, am going to give you the constitutional stick that you can poke in the eyes of justice again to make her blind. 1.00

00:35:47.040 It shouldn't matter your skin color or anything else. 0.75

00:35:51.180 What matters is justice for all.

00:35:56.580 We'll give that to you on Thursday.

00:35:58.480 Make sure you join us.

00:35:59.540 Use the promo code FEDUP at the checkout at blazetv.com slash glenn.

00:36:05.680 blazetv.com slash glenn.

00:36:07.720 Use the promo code FEDUP and you will save $30 on your first year of Blaze TV.

00:36:13.760 That's 30%.

00:36:14.560 That is the best special we've ever, ever run.

00:36:19.720 Okay.

00:36:20.460 So, let's see.

00:36:21.600 Let me talk to you a little bit about AI.

00:36:24.320 And, Stu, you know how we always say we should not ask the question that everybody's going to ask.

00:36:29.960 We should ask, does it matter?

00:36:33.080 Okay.

00:36:34.100 I've got one.

00:36:35.720 I've got one.

00:36:36.360 We've got to get ahead on the AI culture war thing.

00:36:39.480 Okay.

00:36:40.280 Because it's going to eat us alive before even the robots have a chance to enslave us.

00:36:44.840 But the future looks bright.

00:36:46.140 Anyway, when you think of the development of artificial personalities, AI, your best friend, or your AI girlfriend, these things are already here.

00:36:58.840 They're right on the horizon of going mass.

00:37:01.300 Snapchat is already doing it for your kids.

00:37:04.440 So, when all your friends are asleep, all their friends are asleep, right up at the top of Snapchat, your best AI friend.

00:37:13.060 And you can talk to your bestie.

00:37:15.500 Yeah.

00:37:16.040 Okay.

00:37:16.420 Yeah.

00:37:16.900 And it's AI.

00:37:17.960 I saw something about, too, I read a story about an Instagram influencer who is renting out, basically, an AI for her to be your girlfriend.

00:37:28.000 And, like, you can apparently, for, I don't know, a dollar a minute, like, it's like the old pay-per-view 1-900 lines.

00:37:34.040 Like, for a dollar a minute, she will be your girlfriend. 0.85

00:37:37.380 Yeah.

00:37:38.000 And, of course, just an AI responding.

00:37:40.400 Like, what freaking psychopath would sign up for this service?

00:37:43.060 Lots.

00:37:43.960 Lots.

00:37:44.060 And the people developing, what does that person, what do you think the person developing that, what do you think of them?

00:37:50.560 What's their general political makeup?

00:37:53.660 Oh, the hardcore conservative, I'm sure.

00:37:56.280 Absolutely.

00:37:57.360 Big social conservative.

00:37:59.340 Conservatives are, this is what a conservative is.

00:38:02.640 I don't know how people define it now, but this is what it is.

00:38:06.340 Hey, that looks exciting and everything.

00:38:09.920 Maybe we should hold back here just a little bit and not flush everything down the toilet.

00:38:16.160 Let's see how that works out.

00:38:17.820 That's a conservative.

00:38:18.880 And it's very important that you have somebody going, hey, hey, maybe we should slow down just a bit, okay?

00:38:26.140 Especially if you're in a movie.

00:38:29.900 That's the character you want to play.

00:38:31.720 Well, maybe not, because they're never listened to, and they're usually the ones that are eaten by whatever it is.

00:38:37.940 And then as they're being dragged into the mouth of whatever it is, they're like, I told you we should.

00:38:42.820 So, it's like, honestly, it's like being the cast member on Star Trek that nobody's ever seen before and now is in the landing party.

00:38:54.080 You're like, that guy's not coming back.

00:38:56.060 Anyway, so, that is what a conservative is.

00:39:00.920 Somebody who says, hey, maybe we shouldn't beam down on the planet just yet, at least with me.

00:39:06.980 How about all of you guys in your yellow shirts, you go down, not us in the red shirts.

00:39:14.340 So, that's a strength of ours.

00:39:18.400 But it is now being made to look like a weakness.

00:39:22.400 And the left styles themselves as progressives because their key strength is also their key weakness, just like ours is, okay?

00:39:32.800 We need both sides.

00:39:34.620 Because they just want to forge ahead, we got a new idea.

00:39:39.240 Now, what's crazy when it comes politically, it's not ever a new idea.

00:39:43.620 It's the same communist idea over and over and over again.

00:39:48.160 But they got a new way to sell it.

00:39:50.380 And they're like, hey, this time it's going to work.

00:39:52.340 And you're like, no, it's not.

00:39:54.940 But they are progressives.

00:39:57.220 And they want to do everything right now because it's new.

00:39:59.760 It's shiny.

00:40:01.120 And it'll piss off the other side.

00:40:02.920 So, let's embrace it.

00:40:04.620 Okay?

00:40:05.680 We need both of those sides.

00:40:08.260 We need the people who are like, let's go.

00:40:11.400 And we need the conservative to say, maybe not so fast, especially on big things like, oh, I don't know.

00:40:19.560 Things that will control you, like AI.

00:40:23.260 Now, a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the population is putting these things together.

00:40:34.540 And what you need to understand is that tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the population is really, really, really, really, really arrogant.

00:40:44.040 I don't think you can understand or underestimate the arrogance of the gatekeepers in Silicon Valley because nothing is impossible.

00:40:55.000 Look at Elizabeth Holmes.

00:40:57.020 You and I would have been there going, I don't think I'm going to give her $10.

00:41:01.480 But everybody else is like, anything is possible.

00:41:05.120 In Silicon Valley, you see how she dresses like Steve Jobs? 1.00

00:41:08.820 Let's give her $100 billion. 1.00

00:41:10.920 Her voice is so low.

00:41:12.200 Here's my check.

00:41:13.000 Wow, this is going to be great.

00:41:16.660 Okay.

00:41:17.360 That's what, generally speaking, that's why we don't hang out with a Silicon Valley crowd.

00:41:21.520 Well, other than that, they'd also like to see us die.

00:41:24.320 But they also, you know, are not the ones to go, hey, maybe we shouldn't give her $100 million. 0.97

00:41:33.940 They're used to doing the impossible and damn common sense because we live in the age of miracles.

00:41:40.520 It's a miracle.

00:41:41.420 I mean, not your Jesus miracle.

00:41:43.480 Those don't exist.

00:41:44.900 This is a miracle of man.

00:41:48.220 Oh, great.

00:41:49.460 So the left doesn't believe in miracles or God, but they do now because miracles are happening with AI.

00:42:01.480 And that's their new God.

00:42:04.800 They're not building man.

00:42:07.120 Man is building a God.

00:42:09.300 And a lot of them would like to sit down and talk to God-like figures.

00:42:13.980 And believe me, someday you will.

00:42:17.220 You'll talk to God.

00:42:18.940 And I don't think you're going to want that conversation, Dr. Frankenstein.

00:42:23.100 But anyway, they think this is a monster that they can control.

00:42:27.260 I'm telling you can't.

00:42:28.620 So this is a very long way to go just to tell you what it is we have to decide right now.

00:42:36.720 We have to decide, does it matter right now?

00:42:42.200 Na, na, na, na, na.
