Glenn Beck and Wynton hall join me to talk about why you must pay attention, especially conservatives, to the dangers of AI and why you should pay attention to what s going on in the world right now.
00:00:00.000getting ready for a game means being ready for anything like packing a spare stick i like to
00:00:09.560be prepared that's why i remember 988 canada's suicide crisis helpline it's good to know just
00:00:15.720in case anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder
00:00:20.520anytime 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in canada
00:00:25.480boy we've talked about some amazing things today first i start with six stories that you may not
00:00:33.620believe are connected but they they are everything is connected in in the world of news today and
00:00:40.320i take six stories and connect them together so you can see the real picture that i don't think
00:00:45.840people are tying it together enough they don't see but there is a red light warning going on
00:00:53.840every day so we start there also this letter from joe kent who was director of intelligence
00:01:00.260he resigns and he says we are in war because of israel and i can't be a part of it anymore
00:01:09.220cover that as it was breaking during the broadcast also wynton hall joins me he's got a new book out
00:01:16.420called Code Red. Really good, basic, overall understanding of why you must pay attention,
00:01:24.500especially conservatives, why you must pay attention to AI right now. Code Red. That's
00:01:31.300the whole broadcast today. Your body is doing maintenance all the time while you're working,
00:01:37.720while you're sleeping, even while you're just sitting there listening. Cells are repairing.
00:01:41.600you know our little systems inside our body are constantly trying to keep everything running the
00:01:47.820way it is supposed to and sometimes that process gets overwhelmed and inflammation builds up and
00:01:53.100muscles take longer to recover than they used to and suddenly your body feels like it's working
00:01:57.280harder to do just the same thing it's always done relief factor has created something that can help
00:02:03.560you but that support your natural process it's a daily supplement it's designed for your body
00:02:10.180and it will help your body manage the inflammation and support joint and muscle comfort so you can
00:02:15.060keep doing the things you want to do. And over a million people have tried it and, you know,
00:02:19.500over two-thirds of them have gone on to take more. So if you've been listening to me talk about
00:02:23.760relief factor for a while, maybe this is the moment you try it. You're ready. You're ready
00:02:29.200to get out of pain. If you're already taking it, you'll get an enhanced formula designed to work
00:02:34.440even smarter now. But if you haven't taken it, try their three-week quick start. This might be
00:02:38.760the time for you. 1995, relieffactor.com, 800-4-relief, 800, the number 4-relief. It's
00:02:44.880relieffactor.com. Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back
00:02:49.960against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed
00:02:54.980you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this
00:03:00.940fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck
00:03:05.820podcast give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through
00:03:11.100big tech's algorithm to reach more americans who need to hear the truth this isn't a podcast
00:03:16.260this is a movement and you're part of it a big part of it so if you believe in what we're doing
00:03:21.480you want more people to wake up help us push this podcast to the top rate review share together
00:03:27.240we'll make a difference and thanks for standing with us now let's get to work
00:03:31.300you're listening to the best of the blend back program when uh is a distinguished fellow at
00:03:47.560the government accountability institute uh with peter swizer uh he is also a former visiting
00:03:52.460fellow at stanford's hoover institution lives in tallahassee with his family where do we even
00:03:57.180begin, Wynton. I mean, you have covered all of it in this book. Really, really well done.
00:04:03.500Well, thank you, Glenn. Now, and you know, I want to thank you. I mean, you've been ahead on this
00:04:08.000issue so, so many years. And actually, it was your book, Propaganda Wars, that really
00:04:13.480focused my attention for Code Red on the deepfake political implications. So thank you for all of
00:04:21.100that. I think the thing to begin with is just really understanding for conservatives the
00:04:28.760importance of understanding that this is not hype. And one of the problems I'm seeing a lot
00:04:33.740in the circles of these conversations is people say, you know, look, I've tried ChatGPT. I got
00:04:40.000a hallucination. It's not there yet. That's not AI. That's not AI. That's right. Exactly. And so
00:04:49.900when you just have that kind of an understanding, that surface level, you don't realize that there
00:04:54.960is so much more than just a simple chatbot. As you said, you know, Elon saying there is a
00:05:01.360supersonic tsunami headed towards humanity. Now, when you hear that, you either have to decide,
00:05:06.800is that all hype marketing to raise capital for investors? Or is, you know, one of the richest
00:05:11.700people that's ever inhabited the planet giving us a real warning shot? I think that when you
00:05:16.940think of a tsunami you know and you're sitting on the on the beach shore the question is you know
00:05:21.200how long do you have to get ready and prepare and then what are the political power grabs that are
00:05:28.080about to happen because what i want people to understand particularly conservative americans
00:05:32.500is that whether whether you think it's all hype and fear-mongering or whether it comes to fruition
00:05:38.840it really doesn't matter from a political perspective because the forces for redistribution
00:05:45.840and UBI, universal basic income, will weaponize that fear to build public support one way or the
00:05:53.220other. I couldn't agree with you more. I absolutely believe it is not hype. I think
00:06:02.520it's coming faster than anyone expected. I know it is, but I don't believe it's hype.
00:06:07.040But even if it is, just think of the hype of global warming. This is the new global warming
00:06:14.840for any kind of, you know, it's laying the railroad tracks for any kind of policies like
00:06:21.760UBI, you know, socialized everything. This is building the railroad tracks right now and nobody
00:06:28.280sees it. You are exactly right. And it's, I call it a control grid, just as a metaphor. It's the
00:06:36.520ability to scan and ban what you say. We all know in the conservative movement what has happened
00:06:41.120with the Global Disinformation Index and demonetizing and delisting conservative media
00:06:47.000and silencing the president, that control grid remains.
00:06:52.140And so right now, of course, they're going to play along.
00:06:54.860And, you know, there's a Republican House and Senate and White House and President Trump.
00:06:59.360But the powers in Silicon Valley have been building this control grid
00:07:02.760and have been organized on these topics for many years.
00:07:05.600Let me give you one example that I think is really striking.
00:07:09.420So I spent two years deep diving into this world, and one that stood out to me, in 2016, a young man went on a blog, and he said, I'd like to fund a study, and I want to give $1,000 every single month, and I want to give it to low-income people, and I want no strings attached, otherwise known as what you and I would call universal basic income, Glenn.
00:07:29.480And he said, I want to see what will happen. Will they create new jobs? Will they just waste time? And then he said, the reason I want to do this study is because I think in the future technology is going to require some type of replacement income.
00:07:44.480The young man who funded that study funded a longitudinal study, $60 million, put in $14 million of his own dollars.
00:07:52.920And that young man's name was Sam Altman.
00:07:56.060Now, why in 2016 is Sam Altman funding the largest UBI study in American history six years before the front-facing arrival of Chachi PT in November of 2022?
00:08:09.260It is because Silicon Valley has viewed this technology as a way to remake and reset capitalism, free markets, the entire economic structure, what they would call a post-labor society.
00:08:22.400And when you think of the Judeo-Christian Protestant work ethic, one of the things he said in that note, he says, I think we will view it as silly that we ever considered work a fear of not being able to eat a motivation for why you should work.
00:08:39.800I mean, that is the hinge of human motivation that we have used, and certainly if you look at scripture, the idea of striving for economic flourishing for your family.
00:08:50.340So they really are remaking the world, and the reality is they've been at this a long time.
00:08:56.660I'm very concerned that people haven't on our side really understood the 5D chess game and the speed with which this is happening, and that's why I called it Code Red.
00:09:06.920two reasons. One, an alert flare, and two, our side, the red team needs a code. We need a set
00:09:12.020of principles of how we're going to get through this for our kids and ourself and our country.
00:09:16.100Hit that, basically, just quickly, because you really outline it in the book, but hit,
00:09:22.760how do we deal with this with our kids? Glenn, I think the future is not teaching our kids how
00:09:31.160to find jobs, but how to create them. And that's one of the more hopeful parts of this AI era.
00:09:36.920you will have superpowered for those people who have fire in the belly for entrepreneurship,
00:09:42.420a real opportunity to do way more with way less.
00:09:45.500And so I would say there's three pieces for parents and grandparents.
00:09:50.160Number one, I know you're very concerned about the erosion of critical thinking and education.
00:09:56.460The trivium has served us for centuries, the trivium, logic, grammar, and rhetoric.
00:10:00.880And I think that classical model of really building strong, independent minds that can seek out truth and know when they're being spun and when they're actually dealing in truth, that has served humanity for so long, and we have to keep that.
00:10:14.840So that's your base layer of your pyramid.
00:10:16.460Second layer is the entrepreneurial tools, showing that your daughter or your son or your grandchild how to build a business, regardless of whatever their passion or their God-given calling is in their life, so they know how to set up an LLC, they know how to set up a website, they understand advertising.
00:10:38.300Those skills will be a great template that can move with where the world is going in AI.
00:10:44.720And then the third layer is the AI tools, because you rightly said, we don't get to opt out of this.
00:10:49.960I mean, I think one of the misconceptions people think is, oh, I don't have to use AI.
00:11:43.480And I'm telling you, what this is going to lead to is a world where you're going to use AI, whether you like it or not, unless you're Amish.
00:11:58.180and you're going to use AI and it's going to be somebody else's AI, just like we used the media
00:12:05.680that was built by someone else. And we were like, oh, well, I don't need to be into me. I've got
00:12:10.620the three channels. I got the networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, and now I've got CNN and MSNBC. And it's all
00:12:17.220going to be fine. You're using something that somebody else is building. And I'm telling you,
00:12:21.860If the conservative movement doesn't get on to AI, I don't think you're ever going to catch up.
00:12:41.020Oh, I'm grateful that you just said that, and we should say it often.
00:12:46.100Look, the left would love nothing more than for conservatives to unilaterally disarm with the greatest and most powerful information weapon ever devised by human minds and put on the battlefield of ideas.
00:13:01.240I mean, so yes, on the one hand, we can lament this reality, but we have to accept this reality.
00:13:10.860And I think that means understanding that this bullet train has already left the station, and we have to be on it.
00:13:17.620And we have to really understand what I call the roses of possibility, and there are, and I don't want to suggest that it's all doom.
00:13:25.060But we have to understand that we also have numerous landmines, political new landmines that we are going to have to learn how to navigate around. And you can't do that if you don't understand the technology. So you're absolutely right, Glenn. And it's one of those buffers.
00:13:40.120I mean, look, as conservatives, you know, we want to stand athwart history yelling stop.
00:13:44.740But Buckley wasn't saying, you know, that we stop technological innovation.
00:13:49.380He was saying we stop the erosion of the diminution of the values that have instantiated, you know, human history for millennia.
00:13:58.040So I think that we have to adopt these tools.
00:14:01.420And one of the things, though, that we really do need to understand is just how woke and biased they are and how the left has very specific agenda for weaponizing these tools against us.
00:14:14.480Oh, and you get Trump out of there and it is going to come back with a vengeance.
00:16:21.240Right now, you're being told stories about fraud, about courts, about China, about crime, about debt, about war, and they all seem separate, but they are not.
00:16:32.420They are one story, and the story, it's a story about the system itself.
00:16:39.480we know quietly buried almost as an afterthought that the u.s intelligence and had evidence
00:16:48.920uh joe biden had evidence that china was accessing now american voter registration data in 2020
00:16:57.800we now know this to be true we have the evidence we have the documents and it was hidden and it
00:17:05.380was hidden from members of Congress, hidden from the people. Now think about this. This is not a
00:17:11.700conspiracy theory. This is not a guess. This is a conspiracy fact. It's known and it was filed away
00:17:18.420and ignored. And while the country argued about everything else at the same exact time, now a new
00:17:26.880national fraud task force is being launched first story number one we have voter fraud we knew about
00:17:36.720it china was hacking all of our voter data voter data in uh 2020 no one knew to knew about it i'm
00:17:45.740sorry some people knew about it they didn't tell anybody else and they told us this is the safest
00:17:51.880election ever. Story number two, there is so much fraud in this country that I believe if we found
00:17:59.400even half of it, we would balance the budget. Stop. Sit with this for a second. We are $39
00:18:08.480trillion in debt. And the claim is not that we need to grow our way out or cut our spending,
00:28:53.740President Trump, this comes from the Director of National Intelligence and National Counterterrorism Center, Joseph Kent.
00:29:03.620President Trump, after much reflection, I've decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center effective today.
00:29:11.400I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran.
00:29:15.380Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
00:29:33.140This is this is Pentagon Papers stuff.
00:29:36.100This is as important as the Pentagon Papers.
00:29:39.300This is going to possibly change the course of America.
00:29:45.380I support the values of foreign policies that you campaigned on in 16, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term.
00:29:53.780Until June of 2025, you understood that wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation.
00:30:02.340In your first administration, you understood better than any modern president how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into a never-ending war.
00:30:10.040You demonstrated this by killing Soleimani and defeating ISIS.
00:30:13.620Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your American First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran.
00:30:31.740This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States.
00:30:39.800this is incredible that you can say a lot of things but to say that donald trump is a dupe
00:30:46.240and has been duped by a foreign power because he wasn't smart enough to figure it out
00:30:52.600is absolutely insane insane um it deceives you uh that you should strike now when there was a
00:31:04.920and that there was a clear path to a swift victory.
00:31:08.440This was a lie, and it is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into a disaster Iraq war
00:31:15.860that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women.
00:38:22.720One thing to point out is that I'm pretty sure Vice President J.D. Vance is aligned in his foreign policy worldview with Joe Kent.
00:38:31.100But what you don't hear from J.D. Vance is it was an honor to serve the president, but also he's lying to you.
00:38:39.300We are all lying to you. So there's that.
00:38:42.380And then the other thing I'd like to know is who is pulling Trump by the nose?
00:38:47.220Is it Israel or is it the Arab leaders?
00:38:50.660Just in the last 24 hours, we have headlines stating that several Gulf states are urging Trump to keep going on Iran and to fully dismantle them.
00:38:59.920No, no, no, no, that's not possible because Israel is doing this so they can destroy their Arab neighbors and keep them, you know, keep them under their toe.
