00:00:30.000 Hey, President Trump's first week gave us a lot of what we wanted.
00:00:33.660 How he handled Colombia not wanting to take the migrants back.
00:00:37.460 Aid to foreign countries and California and so much more.
00:00:41.340 Also, AI with William Hurtling, an hour you don't want to miss.
00:00:46.920 And the Attorney General of Missouri who says, we're suing China for COVID.
00:00:54.640 Let me tell you about our sponsor.
00:00:56.960 It's Patriot Mobile.
00:00:58.060 Well, defeating the left is only a good thing when it's the only option.
00:01:03.120 At the end of the day, what we really want is to win the left over to our way of thinking, to our shared values as America.
00:01:10.920 That's the only way we heal is if we don't leave any losers on the field.
00:01:15.660 We gain understanding and knowledge and say, hey, look, we may disagree on tax policies or anything else, but these truths are self-evident.
00:01:29.160 One of the ways we do that is by setting an example every chance we get.
00:01:33.120 We always do the next right thing.
00:01:34.800 Life becomes so easy when that's your rule.
00:01:37.920 Just do the next right thing.
00:01:39.440 Don't worry about tomorrow or anything else.
00:01:41.380 Just do the next right thing.
00:01:44.100 One of the things you can do that's really simple is do business with companies that share your values whenever you can.
00:01:50.320 And that is the reason why I partner with Patriot Mobile.

00:02:39.960 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:44.340 I want to start with what a week it has been.
00:02:47.720 Donald Trump has done more in his first 100 hours than any president has done in his first 100 days.
00:02:58.220 It has been breathtaking to see what's been going on.
00:03:03.120 Let's just recap quickly.
00:03:05.040 First, he unleashed a wide swath of powers for the government to secure America's borders and apprehend and arrest illegals hiding in cities and communities around the nation.
00:03:17.920 He made a promise he would clean it up, and boy, is he.
00:03:22.060 Cut six.
00:03:23.380 I want to go back to those military flights going south.
00:03:26.680 As you said, we have never seen that before.
00:03:29.300 Is that going to be a constant commitment from the U.S. military every single day to take deportees out?
00:03:36.260 Yes.
00:03:36.500 So is this what we will see every single day, ending in what the president has promised is millions and millions being deported?
00:03:46.220 Yes.
00:03:47.060 But you can see the number steadily increase, the number of arrests nationwide as we open up the aperture.
00:03:51.980 Right now, it's concentrating on public safety threats, national security threats.
00:03:55.400 That's a smaller population.
00:03:56.920 So we're going to do this on priority base, as President Trump promised.
00:03:59.580 But as that aperture opens, there will be more arrests nationwide.
00:04:02.760 Now, she could ask a third time, but no, but really, is this what we're going to see?
00:04:06.880 Because I never heard her ask that question when Joe Biden was putting people on commercial aircraft and shipping them here.
00:04:15.920 Did you hear that question from anybody?
00:04:18.660 Why is it only asked now when they're going back home?
00:04:22.080 Sop 28, please.
00:04:23.260 This is the video of, I believe these are Asians that are getting on the plane.
00:04:37.320 Oh, darn it.
00:04:38.560 Shoot.
00:04:41.060 Go to the next cut, please.
00:04:42.780 So, well, that was Guatemala.
00:04:47.740 These are people arriving in Mexico from the United States.
00:04:54.860 There's a lot of immigration.
00:04:56.660 Everybody is coming home.
00:04:58.160 I don't recommend going.
00:05:01.640 Okay, so he's got that down.
00:05:04.500 He's been doing that.
00:05:05.900 One last cut, please.
00:05:07.000 This is J.D. Vance, I believe, cut four.
00:05:10.620 Well, this is a country founded by immigrants.
00:05:12.100 Well, this is a country founded by country.
00:05:14.800 This is a very unique country, and it was founded by some immigrants and some settlers.
00:05:19.620 But just because we were founded by immigrants doesn't mean that 240 years later that we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world.
00:05:27.480 So they are just going for it.
00:05:29.800 Just going for it.
00:05:30.800 No more catch and release.
00:05:32.380 No more waving of migrants across the border without proper vetting.
00:05:36.700 It's just it's all over.
00:05:39.400 Proper vetting, by the way.
00:05:40.740 Here's J.D. Vance again.
00:05:42.120 Cut three.
00:05:42.600 When you talked to us in August, you said, I don't think we should abandon anybody who's been properly vetted and helped us.
00:05:49.960 Do you stand by that?
00:05:51.160 Well, Margaret, I don't agree that all these immigrants or all these refugees have been properly vetted.
00:05:55.300 In fact, we know that there are cases of people who allegedly were properly vetted and then were literally planning terrorist attacks on our country.
00:06:03.140 That happened during the campaign, if you may remember.
00:06:05.660 So clearly not all of these foreign nationals have been properly vetted.
00:06:07.660 No, but there are 30,000 people in the pipeline, Afghan refugees.
00:06:11.100 But my primary concern as the vice president, Margaret, is to look after the American people.
00:06:15.720 And now that we know that we have vetting problems with a lot of these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country.
00:06:25.140 These people are vetted.
00:06:26.340 These people are vetted.
00:06:27.200 Just like the guy who played a terrorist attack in Oklahoma a few months ago.
00:06:30.240 He was allegedly properly vetted.
00:06:31.720 And many people in the media and the Democratic Party said that he was properly vetted.
00:06:36.140 Clearly, he wasn't.
00:06:37.380 I don't want my children to share a neighborhood with people who are not properly vetted.
00:06:42.020 And because I don't want it for my kids, I'm not going to force any other American citizens' kids to do that either.
00:06:47.160 No, and that was a very particular case.
00:06:49.200 It wasn't clear if he was radicalized when he got here or while he was living here.
00:06:53.000 I don't really care, Margaret.
00:06:54.060 I don't want that person in my country.
00:06:55.880 And I think most Americans agree with me.
00:06:57.460 I so love the fact that the media just still cannot get their arms around common sense.
00:07:05.260 This guy's going to stop getting booked.
00:07:07.560 Oh.
00:07:07.940 He's going to stop getting interviews.
00:07:09.380 They're going to stop asking him.
00:07:10.880 He's winning too much.
00:07:12.160 He's so good.
00:07:12.700 They're not even going to allow this to occur.
00:07:15.060 Okay, so last week, President Trump made it clear males are males, females are females.
00:07:19.380 The two shall never meet in school bathrooms, in athletics, in areas where sexes are sensibly separated for the safety and privacy of women.
00:07:28.100 He also pulled out America out of the China-fawning, communist-enabling World Health Organization, yanked America from the Paris Climate Agreement.
00:07:39.860 He designated cartels and terror groups as terrorist groups.
00:07:43.640 I have to tell you, the cartel thing, you watch.
00:07:47.680 They're just going to start disappearing.
00:07:49.420 They're just going to start disappearing.
00:07:50.500 They're just going to, like, what happened to Geraldo?
00:07:55.920 And, mm, I don't know.
00:07:57.520 I don't know.
00:07:57.980 I don't know what happened.
00:07:59.120 You just do it.
00:08:00.620 It's not the Geraldo.
00:08:01.760 Yeah, it is.
00:08:02.360 But that's who I was thinking.
00:08:03.940 I think he's a drug cartel.
00:08:05.240 I'm just saying.
00:08:06.220 I'm just saying.
00:08:07.560 Anyway, he also called on his treasury and commerce chiefs to root out all unfair trade practices and recommend American First policies to take their places.
00:08:18.020 He started the external revenue service to take money from foreign sources.
00:08:23.340 He banned government officials from using social media as a tool of censorship and propaganda.
00:08:28.760 He got rid of all of the climate change mandates and the electrical vehicle thing.
00:08:35.400 It was a snowstorm of biblical proportions last week.
00:08:43.220 And he sent the clear message, new sheriff in town.
00:08:47.300 I don't think you're going to want to screw with us.
00:08:50.020 Then he went to North Carolina, who is still suffering.
00:08:53.520 And he told them, you know what?
00:08:56.100 I think I'm going to get rid of FEMA.
00:08:59.920 So then he went to California.
00:09:03.260 And, oh, wasn't that satisfying.
00:09:08.540 So let me get into what happened just over the weekend.
00:09:13.940 First story, probably the most important story.
00:09:17.620 I don't know.
00:09:18.940 You might have been watching football like I was yesterday and Stu was.
00:09:23.040 But there was something really important going on all day yesterday with Columbia.
00:09:30.000 And I have to tell you, this was incredible to have a president who's like, I don't care.
00:09:41.200 I don't care.
00:09:41.720 I don't care what you say.
00:09:42.840 You're Columbia.
00:09:44.460 We're the United States of America.
00:09:46.720 You're taking your illegals back.
00:09:49.900 So here's what happened.
00:09:50.880 We start to deport and we let Columbia know that two aircraft are coming their way with their citizens who were in jail and were flying them back.
00:10:04.280 So these are the prisoners that they let out and shipped them to the United States.
00:10:08.640 We're shipping them back.
00:10:09.360 Halfway there, the president of Columbia says, no, close the airspace to those planes.
00:10:14.720 They're not coming in.
00:10:15.500 We're not taking those people back.
00:10:17.760 And so President Trump, who is on the golf course, hears that.
00:10:24.360 And it says, oh, OK, well, turn the planes around and bring them back.
00:10:29.600 But just tell the president of Columbia, I'm going to put a, I think he said, a 25% tax on everything they sell to the United States.
00:10:38.620 And so the Colombian president said, OK, OK, OK.
00:10:43.380 I tell you what, when they get down on the ground, I'll send my presidential aircraft to go pick them up.
00:10:49.200 OK, but then after that, a couple hours passed and he's like, yeah, you know what?
00:10:56.160 They are being bullies.
00:10:58.140 We got a lot of leverage here.
00:11:00.540 And he said, so we're going to pick them up, but we're not going to let you do anything with your military around Columbia.
00:11:08.620 And Donald Trump said, perfect.
00:11:10.160 OK, we're cutting your foreign aid.
00:11:12.440 We're stop.
00:11:13.020 We're closing our embassy.
00:11:14.200 We're stopping everything in Columbia.
00:11:19.060 It was, I don't know, maybe 20 minutes went by and he was tweeting, just reached a deal with the United States.
00:11:26.160 We're good.
00:11:27.160 We are good.
00:11:28.540 I believe his exact quote was, thank you, sir.
00:11:30.360 May I have another?
00:11:31.180 It's exactly.
00:11:32.740 It's unbelievable.
00:11:34.260 Exactly.
00:11:35.580 OK, so this matters for a lot of reasons.
00:11:41.260 One, it's showing the United States is going to do what is best for the United States.
00:11:49.220 If you sent people here, you're taking your people back because they're not our people and we're not dealing with it.
00:11:57.100 You sent them.
00:11:58.740 We told you, take them back.
00:12:01.980 You won't.
00:12:02.860 Well, then the United States is going to exercise its powers.
00:12:06.180 It is good for Americans, good for national security.
00:12:11.800 But this not only affects the U.S. and Columbia.
00:12:15.700 This, he puts a couple of these things on his belt and nobody's going to screw with us.
00:12:24.320 You see, he is playing.
00:12:25.760 He's playing five dimensional chess with with Putin right now.
00:12:30.280 He is moving things around and pushing.
00:12:35.300 I mean, he is in full fledged negotiation with Putin to get the war stopped.
00:12:40.340 But he also wants a renewed nuclear treaty with Russia.
00:12:45.220 He's freaked by our nukes.
00:12:47.860 And he told me at one point, he said, Glenn, well, he said this also with Elon Musk on the
00:12:54.600 Musk X broadcast, he said, I'm freaked by nuclear.
00:13:00.280 I rebuilt this.
00:13:01.920 I know what it can do.
00:13:03.720 We don't want ever to open any of this stuff up.
00:13:06.700 And so what he's doing is he's trying to end the war, but he's also pushing Putin and kind of
00:13:13.960 kicking at him because he's actually going for a bigger deal.
00:13:17.300 Well, this guy is, I mean, he really has learned a lot in the last four years.
00:13:25.400 Now, this is also going to help our jobs here in America.
00:13:32.020 And, you know, I want to look at everything he does and say, is he is he following conservative
00:13:39.700 values or are we going into what was it that the New York Times said signs of?
00:13:46.220 Oh, yeah, this is funny.
00:13:47.240 This is the AI summary of the New York Times coverage over the past 24 hours.
00:13:52.420 And it says, let's see if I can pull it up.
00:13:54.940 Here it is.
00:13:56.660 Trump returned to power.
00:13:58.680 Early signs of tyranny.
00:14:00.600 Kansas City will play Philadelphia in Super Bowl.
00:14:02.880 All right.
00:14:03.160 That's what we've been covering lately.
00:14:04.940 Signs of tyranny.
00:14:05.640 Signs of tyranny.
00:14:06.440 I just throw it out there in news coverage.
00:14:07.780 So I want to know, are these signs of tyranny?
00:14:10.700 Or is he following our principles as conservatives?
00:14:19.040 First, a nation without laws or borders, is it a nation?
00:14:23.960 The answer is no.
00:14:25.780 If we don't equally apply our laws to everyone, can there be equality?
00:14:33.280 Can there be equal justice under the law?
00:14:36.800 The answer is no.
00:14:39.220 He is also protecting American workers by taking the unfair competition out.
00:14:44.540 I mean, I don't know if you've seen some of these places where nobody is showing up for work now.
00:14:49.380 There was this huge construction site.
00:14:52.220 Like eight workers showed up.
00:14:54.440 Everybody else wasn't there.
00:14:56.120 I mean, they couldn't do anything.
00:14:57.160 They couldn't build anything because they had eight Americans.
00:14:59.860 The rest of them were illegals.
00:15:02.480 Well, now America, go take those jobs back.
00:15:07.000 Demand the right salary from those people.
00:15:10.680 The next thing he did was America First Foreign Aid.
00:15:16.120 He just released a memo that instructs the U.S. Agency for International Development, this is absolutely a CIA front, USAID, to prioritize America First in foreign aid reviews.
00:15:30.980 Now, this is a very big deal because USAID has been a CIA and, honestly, Marxist kind of operation.
00:15:46.680 They've taken your tax dollars, and they've done all kinds of horrible things with them, and they've given them to our enemies, and they still have been giving it to our enemies, and they're bribes.
00:15:59.240 That's all this is.
00:16:00.400 You do not garner love and respect from people you are bribing, and that's what our State Department and USAID think they're doing is, well, we got to give them this money or they won't like us.
00:16:14.660 Well, I don't want them to like us because we give them money.
00:16:18.260 That's the worst kind of relationship.
00:16:21.340 L.A. is still on fire.
00:16:23.200 Section and size of San Francisco burned to the ground.
00:16:25.780 25 people dead.
00:16:26.840 400,000 people without power.
00:16:28.800 180,000 forced to evacuate.
00:16:31.060 Very little time to get anything.
00:16:33.360 Last thing you want to do is have to worry about going to a doctor and sitting in the hospital because your doctor's office is burned down in L.A.
00:16:41.280 Can you imagine what that nightmare is like?
00:16:43.100 When, instead, you could have the Jace case.
00:16:45.820 You could have grabbed that on your way out of the house, had all of your emergency medications, the antibiotics that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections,
00:16:55.820 and you could just call your doctor and say, hey, these are the symptoms, yada, yada, yada.
00:16:59.720 Go to Jace.com.

00:17:20.580 Now back to the podcast.
00:17:22.000 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:17:28.880 So funny, William Hurtling wrote to me at the same time I picked up his book because I was like, I think this is happening exactly the way he lined out in his book in like 2009.
00:17:39.620 And he reaches out to me at the same time.
00:17:41.980 William, it's good to talk to you, sir.
00:17:43.140 How are you?
00:17:45.060 Great, Glenn.
00:17:45.740 It's great to be back.
00:17:46.480 So I don't even know where to start.
00:17:52.740 Let's start with this.
00:17:53.720 You wrote a series of books, which I think are just absolutely profound and looking really accurate now, called the Avogadro Corp.
00:18:04.180 That's the first one.
00:18:05.340 And it's about kind of a company, I don't know, like Microsoft or Google, and it starts assisting people with their email.
00:18:16.160 And it kind of goes out of control in a very logical way and a way that I think we just saw in testing.
00:18:25.500 I'm trying to remember who it was.
00:18:28.360 Was it OpenAI that was doing the testing?
00:18:32.040 And they found that if they say, just stay alive, you know, do what you have to do to stay alive, it hides itself on other computers.
00:18:40.440 It evades and lies.
00:18:43.300 That just happened.
00:18:45.240 Yeah.
00:18:45.800 It lies.
00:18:47.140 Well, yeah, it lies.
00:18:48.640 It cheats.
00:18:49.400 It steals everything that you could imagine.
00:18:52.580 It will copy its code to another computer server.
00:18:56.680 It'll pretend to be a different version of itself.
00:19:00.680 It will, in competition with another AI, it will cheat and modify files.
00:19:07.860 So, yeah, in every way, this is really happening right now today.
00:19:11.460 So, do you believe we have to tell it at any cost?
00:19:16.120 I mean, I would imagine that as it gets smarter, it is going to see that humans may want to destroy it or corral it.
00:19:29.000 And it's not going to like that.
00:19:35.380 Yeah, it absolutely may not, right?
00:19:39.180 And this has to do with how intelligent it is, right?
00:19:43.360 At this point in time, the AI is not smart enough to see us necessarily as an adversary.
00:19:49.760 But as it gets more intelligent, it might, right?
00:19:52.420 And it could see us as an enemy.
00:19:54.840 But it doesn't have to have bad intent to do this, right?
00:20:01.080 No, absolutely not.
00:20:02.680 I mean, and we see that today, right?
00:20:04.260 If you were to hire an AI to build you a house, what we have already seen is like the AI just doesn't have what we think of as common sense.
00:20:14.000 It doesn't have human ethics.
00:20:15.760 If you were to hire an AI to build you a house and say, make me a beautiful house, it might like bulldoze your neighbor's house because that'll make it more beautiful.
00:20:24.500 It might decide to steal the materials, to build the house because that'll make it more beautiful.
00:20:30.280 It might decide to not put in a staircase because why do we need staircases?
00:20:35.440 They just take up space, right?
00:20:36.760 Like it just doesn't make common sense because an AI doesn't necessarily have common sense.
00:20:43.340 So how long before that happens, before it stops doing those things?
00:20:48.120 So as it gets more intelligent, the likelihood that it does those kinds of things is smaller, right?
00:20:58.480 If it's more intelligent, it's more likely to think about what the effects are.
00:21:02.180 But with more intelligence comes more power, right?
00:21:06.100 Why do we even have Stargate, right?
00:21:08.740 Stargate, this $500 billion investment effort.
00:21:12.640 Why?
00:21:13.200 Because people are trying to build an artificial super intelligence.
00:21:16.320 They want to build something not just to do routine tasks, but something they want it to be able to do more than any human can do today.
00:21:25.080 And that basically is an all-powerful weapon.
00:21:28.060 So let's talk about that.
00:21:29.620 It's an all-powerful tool.
00:21:29.880 They say that Stargate, they've got $500 billion.
00:21:34.180 $900 billion is the entire military budget.
00:21:39.140 So you're looking at half the size of the entire U.S. military for a year.
00:21:49.360 What exactly is this?
00:21:52.720 I mean, it's got to be tied directly to the military, right?
00:21:57.480 Yeah, I think so.
00:21:58.840 I mean, I think that OpenAI basically said, this is my guess, like nobody said this publicly, but I think basically this is a pitch to say, hey, if we don't build the first artificial super intelligence first, China will, right?
00:22:16.340 And that's just, we cannot have that from a matter of national security, from the security of the world, right?
00:22:23.580 Like, we can't have China be the one to get the first artificial super intelligence.
00:22:28.240 And so that means we have to.
00:22:29.540 Okay, so we thought China was behind us.
00:22:32.780 Now, DeepSeq came out this weekend.
00:22:35.220 The NASDAQ is just tanking today because it looks like the Chinese AI model outperforms OpenAI, which is very disturbing.
00:22:46.920 Yeah, it's very disturbing, and it speaks to just how quickly things can change in this space.
00:22:54.540 It doesn't matter that it took, like, hundreds of billions of dollars to get to this point.
00:22:59.040 Now that we're at this point, this level of AI is just available basically to everyone, right?
00:23:05.260 Anyone can replicate it pretty much more quickly than it took to develop it in the first place.
00:23:10.540 So can you, because this strikes me as a modern day, but with graver consequences, Manhattan Project, explain to the average person why we care, why we have to have this.
00:23:28.660 What could China do if we are not in the game at least?
00:23:33.840 Well, I talk, to give you some idea, when we're talking about an artificial super intelligence, and I wrote about this in my second book, AI Apocalypse, which you wrote.
00:23:45.840 It's what the military uses for some of their AI scenario planning.
00:23:49.900 And the thing that's so unique about it is the speed with which it can operate.
00:23:55.620 Yes.
00:23:56.020 Right?
00:23:56.240 If you remember that book, like, all the key things in that book take place in a matter of minutes.
00:24:00.940 Yeah, I, you know, the most amazing chapter is when they're going in to inform the president and get the president to say, go.
00:24:10.060 The military advisors are walking in.
00:24:12.160 The beginning of the chapter says, Mr. President, we dot, dot, dot.
00:24:17.200 And then it goes through a whole chapter of this amazing war.
00:24:21.100 And then the last line of the chapter is, we think there's going to be an attack on Chicago.
00:24:26.860 And it shows all of that happened in the time that it took to say that sentence, which is phenomenal.
00:24:35.520 And the way I like to think about it, right, like, if that's what's going to happen, right, that's how powerful it is.
00:24:44.340 It is when we talk about an artificial super intelligence, we're saying, hey, you've got something.
00:24:49.620 And it's got, like, all the knowledge of the some knowledge of humanity, everything that there is to know how to do, it instantly knows how to do.
00:24:57.560 Right. So if it can be done, it will be able to do it.
00:25:01.980 That's an enormous amount of power.
00:25:03.900 And I think about this from, like, a security perspective, right?
00:25:06.800 If you were concerned about self-defense, would you buy a gun at the moment that someone was breaking into your house?
00:25:14.980 Or would you go out and buy that gun and learn how to use it and practice with it so that you were ready when you did have to use it?
00:25:20.760 Right. And that's if you look at the speed that AI is operating at, we cannot afford to wait until it's here, right, to address these risks.
00:25:30.560 But you're a guy who has written several books on warning against AI, AGI, ASI, that it is the possible undoing of the human race.
00:25:43.720 How could you possibly be saying we've got to pick it up?
00:25:47.860 Well, because, unfortunately, it is, I think it's inevitable, right?
00:25:53.940 There's no way we can stop the world from developing it.
00:25:57.040 If America doesn't develop it, China will, right?
00:25:59.880 And then we're at a disadvantage.
00:26:02.180 So the place where we need to make the investment is we need to make the investment in a system of governance that will work for AI.
00:26:10.980 Right. Like in in in in the people world, we have locks on our doors.
00:26:18.480 We have police departments. Right.
00:26:20.540 We have all these different layers because we know that even though we have, in theory, right, human ethics, not everybody behaves in an ethical way.
00:26:29.280 We have disagreements upon what those ethics are.
00:26:32.160 Right. And so we need all these different layers in society to help protect us and keep us safe.
00:26:37.660 And we need the same thing for AI.
00:26:39.640 We need multiple layers.
00:26:41.380 And those other layers, those layers that are going to protect us from the AI, it can't be us because we don't operate quickly enough to be able to see an AI risk and do something about it.
00:26:52.880 So, unfortunately, we need to have other AI that are our allies.
00:26:57.400 It's interesting because I just saw this in real time.
00:27:00.380 I was using DeepSeek this morning to ask it about China and Taiwan, and it gave me all of the CCP talking points.
00:27:10.100 And it said, I'm just trying to be fair and balanced, pulling from.
00:27:13.720 And I'm like, but there's you're just making the point of one China.
00:27:18.080 Make the point that Taiwan is not part of China.
00:27:21.980 Give me the other side.
00:27:23.120 And it started typing out all of the things about Taiwan.
00:27:27.480 And I'm reading it as, you know, it scrolls by so fast.
00:27:30.560 And I'm reading it.
00:27:31.480 I'm like, wow, it's actually.
00:27:32.620 And then it just deletes it.
00:27:34.200 And it says, sorry, this is beyond my scope.
00:27:36.240 So, even that AI needed another AI that's not as fast as the first AI to be able to catch it and shut it down before it went out.
00:27:48.140 I mean, it shows that there is a regulator on this thing that is making sure the propaganda is given.
00:27:55.240 I mean, just this is so dangerous.
00:28:00.300 Just the propaganda and the mind control that it is now going to be pushing.
00:28:09.960 Yeah, absolutely.
00:28:11.320 And I think you have seen, like, if you're using AI to any degree, you quickly become accustomed to it is a very useful tool.
00:28:20.960 Yes.
00:28:21.860 And then you start to rely on it for everything.
00:28:24.840 And then, you know, you're you're instead of doing a Google search, you're researching you're using the item researching drug interactions the other day.
00:28:34.740 Right. And unfortunately, AIs make things up.
00:28:38.900 They're not they're not reliable.
00:28:41.080 Right. They make up they hallucinate information and they tell you things and they can tell you the wrong things.
00:28:46.360 Right. And that's without any bad intent.
00:28:51.060 That's just the design of them is imperfect.
00:28:54.140 Right. But if there's actual bad intent, how are you going to know when you're being manipulated by the AI?
00:28:59.840 How do you know whether the information you're reading is actual, real, factual information or just something that the AI was told to tell you?
00:29:07.400 I want to start kind of at the beginning with you on the on your first book where you talk about ELOB, which is an an AI tool that helps people write more effective emails.
00:29:21.160 OK, then it it morphs.
00:29:27.340 This is the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.
00:29:29.840 It's a compilation of clips from various episodes.
00:29:32.100 If you want to dig deeper into this interview, check out the full podcast episode.
00:29:38.160 I want to tell you about our new secretary of state, Marco Rubio, real quick here.
00:29:43.560 You know, he had a travel ban on China.
00:29:46.640 He could not go to China.
00:29:48.320 He said something, I don't know, in 2022 that the Chinese didn't like.
00:29:52.120 And they were like, well, you're not coming to visit us.
00:29:54.140 Well, now he's secretary of state.
00:29:55.540 So he called his co or his his counter person over in China, the foreign minister of China.
00:30:04.060 And they were talking.
00:30:05.780 And in roughly translated, the Chinese said to Rubio, we know you'll behave.
00:30:14.580 Well, if you actually know Chinese, apparently that takes on completely different connotation.
00:30:21.100 It means it's not something you would say unless the person you're talking to is an underling.
00:30:27.260 And it's basically, I know you're going to do what I say.
00:30:32.600 And Rubio said, no, I'm going to do what's right for my country.
00:30:36.680 In fact, I'm going to I'm scheduling a visit to China right now.
00:30:39.920 He's got a travel ban.
00:30:40.780 And he's going this administration is putting the world on notice, and I think it's going to be wildly effective if they can continue to continue to walk the way they're walking and just set the table back to common sense and what's right for both of us.
00:31:02.880 I don't want anything bad to happen to China, but you're not going to treat us as an underling.
00:31:09.180 And, you know, if we don't get that prowess back that we are at least an equal partner at the table, we're going to get screwed every time as we have been.
00:31:17.840 Now, one of the things that I am really glad to see that is being taken care of, the CIA apparently released a memo that came out a couple of years ago saying that the Wuhan lab was probably the most likely leak of COVID.
00:31:34.760 Well, that's not what they said under the Biden administration.
00:31:38.860 Why all of a sudden are we getting this now that Biden's gone?
00:31:42.840 Why is the CIA now saying, yeah, it's probably Wuhan labs?
00:31:47.840 And somebody is actually doing something about this.
00:31:50.500 Andrew Bailey, he is the Missouri Attorney General.
00:31:53.320 Missouri thinks they might have found a way to hold China accountable for COVID.
00:31:59.940 Andrew, welcome.
00:32:01.600 Hey, thank you for having me on.
00:32:03.080 You bet.
00:32:03.980 So what is your idea here?
00:32:07.260 We filed a lawsuit against China and the Chinese communist government asking for 25 billion with a B dollars in restitution and remediation for the damage they caused to Missourians by unleashing the COVID pandemic on the United States of America and then hoarding and withholding the PPE needed for the state to respond to the crisis.
00:32:28.000 It's called the Federal Sovereign Immunities Act.
00:32:30.760 That's the basis for our lawsuit.
00:32:32.420 We're in trial today in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, and I anticipate we're going to win.
00:32:39.160 This is I mean, this is phenomenal.
00:32:42.560 What makes you think that you can win this?
00:32:44.980 Well, it helps when the other side doesn't show up.
00:32:48.160 I mean, that's how little the Chinese government thinks about these United States of America, that they won't even participate in a judicial process.
00:32:57.100 And look, this isn't some crackpot theory that I've concocted on my own.
00:33:00.720 The people's elected representatives in Congress enacted a statute that specifically allows states to sue foreign governments.
00:33:08.260 And that's the statute we've utilized.
00:33:09.940 And China has not participated.
00:33:12.040 They've been they've been granted due process of law under the judicial process and served with notice.
00:33:19.360 Been to have the opportunity to be heard in court, have declined to do so, have not shown up.
00:33:23.800 And so I anticipate we're going to get a judgment and we will begin executing that judgment at the appropriate time.
00:33:30.220 So, you know that China is not going to they'll do everything they can not to pay it.
00:33:35.200 And, you know, even if they're deemed guilty, they'll say, well, we didn't show up and yada yada.
00:33:41.000 It's kind of like us with a hag.
00:33:42.320 So what actually will happen with this?
00:33:45.900 Well, if we have a valid judgment issued by a United States district court, we can execute that judgment by seizing assets that the Chinese government owns, not only in the state of Missouri, but using any willing partner in any state in the United States of America.
00:34:01.500 And so we are identifying assets and we'll continue to do so.
00:34:05.020 And, you know, farmland is a lot of concern to Missouri because agriculture is such a big part of our economy here in the Midwest and in the state of Missouri.
00:34:13.380 And so does China own farmland in Missouri?
00:34:16.100 You know, what other assets do they have in this state or in other states that we can seize to execute on that twenty five billion dollar judgment?
00:34:23.580 Holy cow. OK, this is fantastic.
00:34:28.660 I'm just thinking of the ramifications of seizing assets of China.
00:34:33.620 Have you have you had any conversations with anyone in the Trump administration on how this might play out?
00:34:39.580 Well, certainly we stay in constant contact with the Trump administration.
00:34:43.720 I know President Trump's incoming Department of Justice is monitoring this case and familiar with it.
00:34:49.940 And we will remain in contact with them.
00:34:51.680 Certainly it's the prerogative of the United States, the president of the United States, to execute foreign policy on behalf of this country.
00:34:59.360 This is different.
00:35:00.580 This is, again, the people's elected representatives in Congress created a judicial process for states to seek redress against foreign governments that harm those states.
00:35:09.820 But you're absolutely right.
00:35:10.740 This has to be part and parcel and in its synthesis with and coordination with the executive branch of the federal government.
00:35:17.000 We will remain in contact with the president.
00:35:19.720 All right. So what is your case?
00:35:21.480 How are you making this case that they intentionally released it here in America?
00:35:26.980 Well, it's corroborated not only with the evidence that we found and that we've adduced in court,
00:35:31.460 but it's corroborated by the recent CIA memo that President Trump released just within the last few days.
00:35:37.700 I mean, look, this is something that we've been talking about for a while.
00:35:40.380 We knew that this wasn't just some accidental transmission from an animal at a wet market to a human,
00:35:46.040 that this was part of a designed virology study at the Wuhan lab.
00:35:52.520 It was too coincidental to be an accident.
00:35:56.780 And then China lied about it.
00:35:58.700 And then China hoarded the PPE.
00:36:00.380 I mean, isn't that how communist governments work?
00:36:02.060 They create a problem and then withhold the means of solving that problem so that you're dependent upon the government.
00:36:09.260 And that's the basis of our case.
00:36:10.740 So what do you say to those who say, you know, that's great, but you're only holding half of the Frankenstein doctor responsible?
00:36:23.160 You have Fauci, you have EcoHealth, you have all of these other people that were knowingly sending money and everything else over to Wuhan.
00:36:35.700 How are those people held to account or are they?
00:36:39.440 Well, no, I think you're absolutely right.
00:36:41.400 I think this is just one piece of an ongoing strategy to find justice for victims of COVID.
00:36:46.860 And it's the American people who were lied to, who were deceived, who were sold a bill of goods, not only as to the lab leak, but also as to the potential remedies, you know, the health risks associated with the pandemic, the lockdowns, the masking, the deprivation of our liberties.
00:37:03.980 I mean, America suffered a traumatic injury as a result of the pandemic.
00:37:08.620 And we're still looking for justice.
00:37:10.420 This is just one avenue to obtain that justice.
00:37:13.060 But certainly this isn't the end of the work that my office will do and that the American people and certainly the people in Missouri will demand.
00:37:19.120 So they are they're saying that maybe the Biden pardons of his own family may not stand up in court.
00:37:25.960 I don't understand the argument.
00:37:27.540 I haven't really looked at it.
00:37:28.900 I don't know if it's valid.
00:37:30.240 But is can the same at all be true for Fauci?
00:37:33.740 Can we hold these people responsible even if they were pardoned before any fact came out that showed them doing things wrong or any charges?
00:37:43.060 Yeah, Glenn, you're absolutely right.
00:37:44.340 Number one, we're still assessing the legal validity of President Biden's corrupt pardons.
00:37:49.700 But at the end of the day, regardless of what the federal government does, the federal government can't pardon individuals for offenses under the state law.
00:37:57.880 So they can still be charged at the state level.
00:38:00.060 And certainly, you know, all options are on the table here in the state of Missouri.
00:38:03.840 That's fantastic.
00:38:05.260 When do you expect this to be over?
00:38:07.180 I mean, you only have one side to prevent or to present.
00:38:10.040 So when do you suppose this is over?
00:38:11.860 Well, the trial should wrap up today.
00:38:14.540 And then I anticipate the district court judge will issue a judgment in the coming days.
00:38:19.140 It shouldn't take long.
00:38:20.120 Again, a lot of these issues have been litigated in the earlier proceedings in court when the court dismissed our case and we had to appeal.
00:38:27.260 So so much of the writing is already on the wall that really at this point, it's just establishing damages.
00:38:31.440 And so it shouldn't take long and we'll be off the races.
00:38:34.480 Wow.
00:38:34.760 And then the next step is?
00:38:36.560 Again, the next step, once we obtain that judgment, is identifying assets and working through the legal process to seize those assets to make good on that judgment that we will have obtained against the people's Republic of China.
00:38:47.540 Any speculation on how China will react to that?
00:38:50.840 Well, I'm sure it'll be a negative response.
00:38:54.040 But look, Mike, here's the problem.
00:38:55.920 They had their opportunity.
00:38:57.400 They had their day in court and didn't show up, didn't participate, didn't communicate, didn't put on any evidence, didn't enter an appearance.
00:39:03.000 I mean, again, they have to know that they're subject to the laws of the United States of America.
00:39:08.920 And that, again, there's this federal statute on the books that gives states a right of action against foreign governments.
00:39:14.800 So it should come as no surprise to them, but they've done nothing to defend themselves.
00:39:19.080 And so, you know, at the end of the day, it's a tacit admission of guilt when they refuse to even acknowledge or respond to the allegations and the petition and the lawsuit.
00:39:28.760 Andrew, thank you.
00:39:29.960 I appreciate your bravery and your stick-to-itiveness, if you will.
00:39:35.920 Andrew Bailey, he is the AG of the great state of Missouri.
00:39:40.680 You know, one thing, Stu, that I love but also shows me I probably should never be president, the high-stakes game on almost every front that Donald Trump is playing right now.
00:40:01.200 It's a lot to deal with at the same time.
00:40:02.760 At the same time, he is going after all of our enemies at once.
00:40:08.440 He's not just taking them.
00:40:09.860 I'm going to do this one first, then this one.
00:40:11.480 He's taking all of the enemies on at once.
00:40:15.440 And if our enemies decide, you know what, let's take them, and they get together, that's really dangerous.
00:40:24.520 I mean, it's a lot of balls in the air at the same time.
00:40:26.760 It's really hard to manage, and something could shake up, and they could work together, and something could spiral out of control.
00:40:36.640 This is not an easy job he's attempting.
00:40:38.600 No.
00:40:38.740 This is not a task.
00:40:39.480 No, and I don't think this has ever been attempted before, at least in America.
00:40:44.960 You comfortable with this?
00:40:45.740 Yeah, I am.
00:40:47.200 I am.
00:40:48.080 I feel like we should note that this has to be done to set us right, has to be done quickly.
00:40:59.380 But we really need to pray for our country, because this is a very, very fragile situation.
00:41:09.980 And I think he's not doing it the way he would have done it in 2017.
00:41:14.540 We're just guns a-blazing, and he's just shooting bullets in the air to see what shows up.
00:41:18.620 He is really taking it intelligently, calmly, orderly, but it's a big game we're playing.
00:41:32.340 The Columbia thing is the best-case scenario for him, though, because it's a—honestly, whatever happens with Columbia is not that big of a deal to us.
00:41:40.460 But the fact that he can go and send that message without a massive risk, like you might see with China or Russia or whatever, he's able to send that message to the whole world, don't screw with us, we'll do this to you, without the high level of risk.
00:41:54.340 But if Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Panama, all of them get together and say, you know what, we're with China and Russia, and we're going to take the currency and dump dollars, I mean, that is lights out for America.
00:42:12.060 I mean, we just—
00:42:13.340 Stop freaking me out.
00:42:14.840 Please pray.
00:42:15.520 No, this is good.
00:42:16.540 I refuse to accept that.
00:42:18.220 I don't want it—
00:42:19.040 Look.
00:42:19.260 I want him to continue, but pray.
00:42:22.340 Look, the Eagles won yesterday.
00:42:24.340 In two weeks, I might be very miserable.
00:42:26.320 But right now, I'm happy.
00:42:27.480 You're going to be.
00:42:27.960 Am I?
00:42:28.380 You might be really happy up until, like, the last minute and a half.
00:42:31.480 That does feel like the reality.
00:42:33.440 It does feel that way, I will say.
00:42:35.320 All right.
00:42:35.800 Thank you, Patrick Mahomes.
00:42:36.800 Na-na-na-na.
