The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： AG Austin Knudsen & Sen. Mike Lee ｜ 8⧸16⧸24

00:00:00.000 Did you know that Google can flip up to 25 million votes this next election?

00:00:09.480 Nobody's talking about it.

00:00:10.780 They're talking about this, what I believe is misdirection from Google of the Kamala Harris playing with those sponsored ads.

00:00:21.820 Well, that's a problem because they're in charge of misinformation and they're sending misinformation.

00:00:27.520 But it's not the thing to worry about with Google.

00:00:30.660 We talk about it with Dr. Robert Epstein, who is actually tracking what Google is doing in real time.

00:00:37.620 And he'll blow your mind on today's podcast.

00:00:41.500 Also, Mike Lee joins us.

00:00:43.620 And gold, at least during the time of the recording, was up 50 bucks.

00:00:48.760 Why do you suppose that is, Kamala Harris?

00:00:52.840 All this and more on today's podcast.

00:01:52.940 Stu's in a mood today, so I'm going to drag the show down yet again.

00:02:09.360 He's in a mood.

00:02:10.440 And he's not in the same mood I'm in.

00:02:12.480 In fact, his mood is the exact opposite of my mood.

00:02:16.280 And, well, America doesn't appreciate it, Stu.

00:02:19.240 It doesn't.

00:02:19.720 It's Friday.

00:02:20.460 I'm very happy.

00:02:21.460 I'm glad.

00:02:21.980 I think their country's going in a good direction.

00:02:23.980 I can't see any problems.

00:02:25.940 So I'm in a good mood.

00:02:26.740 It's Friday.

00:02:27.240 We're supposed to do what every good American does on Friday, and that is screw off.

00:02:32.100 Okay?

00:02:32.700 There you go.

00:02:33.600 And then Monday, we also have to screw off a little bit.

00:02:36.880 And not really just screw off.

00:02:38.340 Yeah.

00:02:38.640 Yeah, but recover from the weekend so you don't really put in the full effort.

00:02:42.700 All we need is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

00:02:45.340 Three shows a week that are just solid.

00:02:47.540 The rest of them, you know.

00:02:49.940 And Wednesday's sort of hump day.

00:02:51.200 You can't really be expected to do good work on a Wednesday.

00:02:54.700 Right.

00:02:54.880 It's crazy.

00:02:55.360 And you're usually planning fun on Thursday.

00:02:57.820 Sure.

00:02:58.360 So really, a Tuesday is a good—you're going to get a good show for at least once a week.

00:03:02.500 You'll get a good show from us.

00:03:03.940 And today is not that day.

00:03:06.260 But let me tell you that we have the Montana Attorney General on with us, Austin Knutson.

00:03:14.680 I think it's—now I should have asked.

00:03:18.000 I can't remember.

00:03:18.920 Do you pronounce the K or not?

00:03:21.840 Austin, are you there?

00:03:22.840 It's Knutson, yes.

00:03:23.740 It is Knutson.

00:03:24.480 Okay, I thought it was.

00:03:25.640 So, Austin, you're going to talk to us about Biden bucks.

00:03:29.060 But I asked Stu, who's really up on things.

00:03:32.460 But he's in a mood.

00:03:33.520 Look out.

00:03:34.300 And I asked him, what are Biden bucks?

00:03:36.240 And he said, that could apply to a myriad of programs they're doing.

00:03:42.320 This one specifically goes to the executive order on getting people out to vote.

00:03:49.660 Can you explain what Biden bucks are?

00:03:54.420 Yeah, I can, Glenn.

00:03:55.960 And thanks for having me on.

00:03:57.240 And a pleasure to contribute to your screw-up show.

00:04:01.360 Okay, good, good, good, good, good.

00:04:03.740 Right.

00:04:04.520 So don't worry about the facts.

00:04:06.060 You can kind of get a little loose with them today.

00:04:09.100 Yeah, good.

00:04:09.880 It's Friday.

00:04:10.860 Yeah, so we picked the name Biden bucks because this is like Zucker bucks.

00:04:15.800 What you have here is the Biden administration wanting to get involved in what sounds kind of innocuous, right?

00:04:24.500 They want to get out the vote.

00:04:27.000 We want to make it easier for folks to vote.

00:04:29.920 So what this executive order back in 21 did is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris directed the administration and all their executive agencies to every time there was a federal touch on a citizen,

00:04:45.800 to provide them voter registration information and ways to get registered to vote and information about voting.

00:04:53.240 And no directive, really, if this was between just federal elections or state elections or local elections and some really egregious stuff here.

00:05:04.440 But here's what this comes down to, guys.

00:05:06.420 And you guys know this.

00:05:07.540 That's not a constitutional power given to the federal government.

00:05:13.820 States regulate their own elections, period.

00:05:17.480 That's been longstanding federal law.

00:05:19.700 That's been longstanding constitutional jurisprudence.

00:05:22.860 This is a job that your local election offices and, more importantly, your state secretary of state's office handles.

00:05:30.380 This is a power grab.

00:05:33.440 This is pure partisan politics.

00:05:36.520 And it's bad news.

00:05:39.380 So what are you doing in Montana to stop this?

00:05:42.200 And what should we be doing?

00:05:44.180 Well, I got with eight of my Republican attorney general colleagues and we've sued.

00:05:48.780 It took us a little while to get all the information and to do the homework on this one.

00:05:53.780 But this was egregious enough that we decided the only thing we could do is sue in federal court.

00:06:00.040 Oftentimes, that's the only arrow in our quiver, Glenn.

00:06:04.080 But we've sued in federal court in Kansas.

00:06:07.580 We've asked the federal district judge to block this executive order, to enjoin it, and ultimately to throw it out.

00:06:17.320 So did you get a chance to actually read the executive order?

00:06:24.180 Because Congress has been asking for this executive order from almost the day that it was issued, which was the first week in office.

00:06:31.820 And they won't ever share it with anybody.

00:06:34.620 Did you see it?

00:06:36.680 We've seen portions of it.

00:06:38.360 But what we have seen is some of the federal agencies' own implementation policies for this executive order.

00:06:47.320 Because you're right.

00:06:49.100 I mean, this goes back all the way back to House Resolution 1.

00:06:52.900 The federal Congress has not ever done this.

00:06:56.880 I mean, this is a liberal Democrat panacea.

00:06:59.820 They have wanted this so bad for so long.

00:07:04.340 But specifically since Donald Trump got elected.

00:07:07.320 The idea here with Democrats in D.C. is, well, we'll just take over national elections.

00:07:14.000 It's never been done.

00:07:15.100 People might not know that, but that's a state function.

00:07:19.260 So some really disturbing stuff we've seen in the implementation.

00:07:23.420 Probably the scariest one, the Department of Justice, the federal Department of Justice, is registering felons to vote.

00:07:32.400 Well, the problem with that, Glenn, is that's illegal in Montana.

00:07:35.940 We do not allow felons to vote in Montana.

00:07:38.200 So we've already got a conflict here between this executive order on the federal level and our state law.

00:07:44.100 So we really didn't have a choice here.

00:07:47.480 So, Austin, tell me how this is going to work out.

00:07:49.540 Because, I mean, because they've stonewalled for so long and we couldn't find any information on what they were doing.

00:07:56.680 I mean, I've been on this since the first week of the Biden administration.

00:08:01.040 And nobody could get any information.

00:08:04.400 Now, here we are in August.

00:08:06.160 We're, what, 12 weeks away.

00:08:08.220 By the time you get into federal court, September maybe?

00:08:12.720 What can be done?

00:08:13.780 Well, we're hoping to get a rapid injunction here.

00:08:20.280 That's the hope, is that we get this in front of a federal judge and we can get a restraining order and an injunction quickly here before too much damage is done.

00:08:30.820 That's what we're after here.

00:08:32.120 So that's why we've moved as fast as we have.

00:08:35.020 Hopefully fast enough.

00:08:37.000 But that's what we're asking this federal judge for.

00:08:41.500 Boy, Austin, I got to tell you.

00:08:44.780 It is really hard to believe in our system of voting.

00:08:49.180 It is really hard.

00:08:51.280 Because it seems to me that everything that can be done to, I mean, if you were designing a program to convince people that your vote didn't matter, I think you'd pretty much do everything that they have done in the last eight years.

00:09:09.440 And, you know, we talked about corruption.

00:09:12.060 We were penalized by social media because we, six months ago, talked about, hey, there are back doors in these voting machines.

00:09:22.080 And we were penalized and said it was false news, fake news, you know, misinformation, yada, yada.

00:09:28.360 So they suppressed all of that.

00:09:29.980 And then the group that always does these, you know, every year they do a, what do you call it, when they get all the hackers into one place and they try to hack into the voting machines.

00:09:42.360 And they said it's easy and it's happening and reported the same thing we reported.

00:09:46.280 But now, conveniently, it's too late to do anything.

00:09:50.420 I'm very concerned about the vote.

00:09:55.040 Yeah.

00:09:55.760 The good news about it, Glenn, for me is people are paying attention.

00:09:59.600 I mean, and people are really concerned about this.

00:10:02.040 I can't go anywhere and do any kind of a talk, an event, a speech, a rally.

00:10:07.960 It doesn't matter.

00:10:08.920 This is what people are talking about just everywhere I go.

00:10:11.560 People are paying attention.

00:10:13.400 The word is out.

00:10:14.360 There's a lot of concern out there with the American people over their vote, over the security of the election.

00:10:21.140 And I think that's what is bringing all this attention to it.

00:10:25.720 Now, we have to be diligent.

00:10:28.220 I mean, we have to keep up the fight.

00:10:31.500 We can't just roll over here.

00:10:33.280 I can't just tell people, well, just trust us.

00:10:36.000 It's all going to be fine.

00:10:37.600 That's my job.

00:10:38.620 I mean, we have to make sure that Montana's rights are not being violated here.

00:10:44.540 So, I mean, that's what's led us to do this stuff.

00:10:47.120 And the great thing is it's not just me.

00:10:48.980 You've got a lot of other really great Republican state attorneys general who are also fighting this fight.

00:10:56.980 On another unrelated topic, can you do anything to arrest Kevin Costner for not finishing Yellowstone?

00:11:08.620 Well, if I'm being real honest, I mean, Montana's got tired of that.

00:11:17.120 We're a little tired of that show.

00:11:19.420 Really?

00:11:19.760 Our legislature let the movie tax credit expire.

00:11:24.640 That's why this last season is not even going to be filmed here.

00:11:28.580 And I don't know.

00:11:29.460 It sounds like Mr. Costner had some of his own personal stuff going on.

00:11:33.020 Yeah, I know.

00:11:33.760 I know.

00:11:34.200 I know.

00:11:34.400 But look into the arresting him thing.

00:11:36.900 Just look into that.

00:11:37.880 I'm just saying.

00:11:38.440 I want the ending.

00:11:39.760 I'll see if I can compel here.

00:11:41.100 Yeah.

00:11:41.560 Okay.

00:11:42.120 Okay.

00:11:42.680 All right.

00:11:43.140 Really, you were sick of that.

00:11:44.140 Because I think that made, well, I mean, you know, wait a minute.

00:11:47.200 They went over state lines.

00:11:48.420 The train station was over state lines.

00:11:50.780 So, yes, they might have been killing people in Montana, but they buried them someplace else.

00:11:55.700 But I think that just made the state look beautiful.

00:11:59.660 And unfortunately, if I were in Montana, I would be saying, yeah, it looks a little too beautiful.

00:12:04.260 Now we're going to get all these.

00:12:05.680 Now it's going to turn into Jackson Hole.

00:12:07.260 It's already happened to Bozeman.

00:12:10.360 I don't recognize Bozeman.

00:12:11.800 I went to college there.

00:12:12.720 I lived there when I was a kid.

00:12:14.320 That town is completely Jackson Hole.

00:12:19.240 Jeez.

00:12:19.900 I hate that.

00:12:20.920 All right.

00:12:21.240 Thank you so much, Austin.

00:12:22.240 I appreciate it.

00:12:23.000 That's the Montana Attorney General, Austin Knudsen.

00:12:26.320 I got to tell you.

00:12:29.480 What?

00:12:30.040 It was funny.

00:12:31.080 He's just like.

00:12:32.040 He's great.

00:12:32.920 He's great.

00:12:33.480 I love it.

00:12:35.320 The, you know, have you ever been to Jackson Hole?

00:12:39.100 No, I don't think I have.

00:12:41.500 It is really beautiful.

00:12:42.920 But they've just destroyed it.

00:12:44.360 It's this.

00:12:45.060 It's like New York City now.

00:12:46.400 And it's all these liberals.

00:12:48.040 And so now they, you know, it's because it's such a big county.

00:12:51.080 They really have sway in the vote for Wyoming.

00:12:57.540 And every time I come here, we moved to a place that literally has 400 people in it.

00:13:03.960 And the next biggest town over is the home of the first nighttime rodeo ever in the country.

00:13:14.500 And the county fair is happening today.

00:13:16.940 And there's pig wrestling last night.

00:13:18.560 And I think they're playing cowboy poker tonight.

00:13:21.520 Which is you get people to sit around a poker table in the middle of the arena.

00:13:26.560 And then they release a bull.

00:13:28.160 And the last person seated at the table wins.

00:13:31.640 But that's kind of fun we have.

00:13:33.220 And you don't have that in Jackson Hole.

00:13:35.340 You know what I mean?

00:13:36.020 You don't have any crybabies going, oh, he could get hurt by the bull.

00:13:39.340 Yeah, well, he knew that when he got into the ring.

00:13:41.200 So leave him alone.

00:13:43.560 You got to move into a farming community if you're going to move someplace.

00:13:46.260 Move into a farming community.

00:13:48.080 Telling you.

00:13:48.500 Farmers, they know where it's at.

00:13:51.660 They got it down.

00:13:52.780 And you know what?

00:13:54.480 It's so weird.

00:13:55.820 I think that's where we went wrong as a nation.

00:13:58.320 We got away from the agricultural backbone of this country.

00:14:03.300 And when you're on a farm, you don't have to talk to your kids about the birds and the bees.

00:14:08.380 They see it all the time.

00:14:11.500 Daddy, why is that cow on top of the other one? 1.00

00:14:14.080 Well, look what happens to the cow on the bottom, you know, in just a few months.

00:14:20.380 Oh.

00:14:21.580 You see everything.

00:14:22.540 And you understand how nature works and how everything is dependent really on God.

00:14:28.320 You can be the greatest farmer in the world.

00:14:29.680 But if it doesn't rain, you lose.

00:14:33.320 And that, you know, there are things out of your control that, you know, that's not fair.

00:14:38.920 Well, life isn't fair, is it?

00:14:41.040 You can be the best farmer in the world and go bankrupt.

00:14:43.440 And most farmers do.

00:14:46.640 But you can be the best farmer.

00:14:49.400 If it doesn't rain, it doesn't rain.

00:14:51.120 And that, in turn, teaches you to be a good neighbor.

00:14:55.700 I just think we should go back.

00:14:57.560 There's a lot of that I like. 1.00

00:14:59.220 Damn electricity. 0.99

00:15:01.500 That's why I think where I'm landing on this. 1.00

00:15:03.620 Because you're right.

00:15:04.580 The lessons learned, the foundations provided by that type of upbringing and life really does bring you, create character, right?

00:15:15.400 It really creates the type of character that America was built on.

00:15:18.640 But, I mean, like, Outer Mongolia is still a farming community.

00:15:23.260 Like, I don't want to go back to it.

00:15:25.000 No, I don't want to go to Outer Mongolia.

00:15:27.540 Right.

00:15:27.840 You know, I've got to be, yes, I have to be, I don't have to be, but my wife has to be 30 minutes from a Costco, okay?

00:15:34.740 Right.

00:15:35.180 That's when we're moving someplace, she's like, is it within 30 minutes of a Costco?

00:15:39.600 If it is, great.

00:15:40.760 By the way, kiss Costco's goodbye if Kamala Harris gets her way on this price control thing. 1.00

00:15:48.900 You won't be able to have Costco's.

00:15:50.780 So, you're going to vote Kamala Harris.

00:15:53.540 You're going to love it.

00:15:55.800 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:58.880 I want to talk to you a little bit about our sponsor, Good Ranchers.

00:16:01.400 Labor Day is right around the corner.

00:16:02.700 And that means, you know, going out and having a barbecue.

00:16:05.880 And it also means more amazing deals from Good Ranchers.

00:16:09.300 Right now, when you subscribe to any of their boxes, you're going to get a free add-on for an entire year.

00:16:15.120 That's full year of chicken breasts, Angus ground beef, applewood bacon, or wild-caught salmon with every order for free.

00:17:07.080 We're going to get some really good Soviet policy if Harris wins.

00:17:12.660 We might get a good national anthem out of it because Soviets had the best national anthem. 0.92

00:17:17.660 But, you know, they had to murder people to get it, I guess.

00:17:21.940 Gold today is up $50.

00:17:25.700 It's now over $2,500.

00:17:28.040 Hit $2,500 for the first time in history.

00:17:31.660 And it happened in the eight hours after she said, you know, price controls.

00:17:36.340 Good.

00:17:37.080 You want to know, Stu, answer the question, what is gold a hedge against?

00:17:43.240 I would say inflation, but also insanity.

00:17:47.000 Yeah.

00:17:47.320 I always say insanity, but it is a known forever, a known hedge against inflation.

00:17:54.760 It goes up that much and hits $2,500 for the first time in history.

00:18:01.080 Right after she says that, you know how good she's going to be for inflation. 0.89

00:18:06.020 What do rich people know that you don't know?

00:18:09.100 I don't know.

00:18:10.000 Well, they know about gold.

00:18:12.180 Have I mentioned Lear Capital?

00:18:14.400 This is not a commercial, but you should call Lear Capital today.

00:18:17.760 You should.

00:18:18.480 Okay.

00:18:18.820 Because it's only going to get worse.

00:18:20.120 The more it looks like she could win, the more expensive gold is going to get.

00:18:25.580 Mike Lee is with us, Senator from the great state of Utah.

00:18:29.560 Hello, Senator.

00:18:30.300 How are you, sir?

00:18:32.460 Hello, I'm doing great.

00:18:34.220 And, you know, what a great way to start the segment with the Soviet national anthem.

00:18:38.140 Seems very, very funny, doesn't it?

00:18:40.560 Yeah, it's really great.

00:18:41.840 We've got to get used to that.

00:18:44.540 What do you think of the price controls?

00:18:46.320 I saw your thread last night.

00:18:49.040 It's fantastic, Mike.

00:18:50.580 Tell me about price controls.

00:18:52.460 Thank you.

00:18:53.020 Yeah, I was talking about that on my base, Mike Lee account on X.

00:18:56.240 But price controls are really bad.

00:18:58.440 They're really good if what you want to create is scarcity.

00:19:01.700 If what you want to create are black markets, if what you want to create is a federal government

00:19:07.380 that's in charge of distributing assets, distributing goods, who gets what.

00:19:13.620 But they're absolutely terrible for every other reason, including and especially alleviating

00:19:18.680 the pressure put on the poor and middle class by a federal government that spends too much

00:19:24.500 and regulates oppressively.

00:19:26.160 So, you know, other than that, it's great.

00:19:28.520 You know, what is amazing to me is how willing they are to throw grocery stores under the

00:19:36.080 bus.

00:19:36.580 The average grocery store profit was 3% in 2020.

00:19:44.220 3% was the profit.

00:19:45.980 Their profit now is down to 1.8.

00:19:48.840 So for every dollar that goes through that store, they only take almost two cents from that

00:19:54.580 dollar.

00:19:54.880 That is the average profit is about 8%.

00:20:00.340 So anything over 8%, you're really doing well on profit.

00:20:04.400 There's his 1.8 and she's accusing them of gouging.

00:20:09.060 Farmers are going out of business and she's accusing them of price gouging.

00:20:13.720 It's obscene what she's saying.

00:20:16.080 No, it literally is.

00:20:19.140 And in fact, almost any time you hear a politician say the word gouging or price, they're almost

00:20:28.200 always talking about something that involves getting the government involved in what is

00:20:33.720 fundamentally a market decision.

00:20:35.920 It must always be a free market decision.

00:20:38.080 Not because you are callous to the needs of the poor and those hardworking people who are

00:20:43.380 living paycheck to paycheck, but because you are in tune with those needs.

00:20:47.700 Because I'll tell you this, Glenn, the only thing that will put pressure on prices is itself

00:20:54.840 competition.

00:20:56.360 And when you start talking about price gouging, that leads to price controls.

00:20:59.760 We start talking about price controls that guarantees prices will never come down.

00:21:05.480 The guarantees more critically that you will be perpetuating whatever it is that's causing

00:21:10.720 this price pressure.

00:21:11.860 Yes.

00:21:12.580 Causing the problem with hardworking people.

00:21:15.760 Yeah.

00:21:15.880 You'll, you'll have scarcity like nobody's business.

00:21:18.540 I mean, that's why the Soviet union, you know, didn't have anything on the shelves of their

00:21:22.240 stores.

00:21:22.640 You go to the grocery store, there was nothing there.

00:21:24.660 You'd have to stand in line for toilet paper or milk.

00:21:27.840 Um, and you know, you could stand in line for three hours and then they could say, all

00:21:32.060 the milk is gone and you would go home with nothing.

00:21:34.460 Uh, it is, it's, it's really, really bad.

00:21:37.840 And she is, um, I said this on Wednesday before she announced this and it's the only way I could

00:21:43.760 describe her.

00:21:44.300 I said, she is the Hugo Chavez of the Maduro of, of America.

00:21:48.880 If this, if she gets in, we will become Venezuela. 0.94

00:21:55.580 Yeah.

00:21:56.020 And look, Venezuela was a prosperous country a few decades before they got involved in

00:22:02.660 this whole hog socialism thing.

00:22:04.380 And I'm sure she'll tell us, and I'm sure the Soviets told their people with the bread 0.75

00:22:07.940 lines, oh, they're waiting in bread lines.

00:22:09.640 That's purifying.

00:22:10.980 That's, that's, that's good for the soul.

00:22:13.820 Uh, Americans know better.

00:22:15.760 We're not going to do this.

00:22:16.640 We can't make this choice.

00:22:17.700 And if we do, it'll be one of the worst choices we've ever made.

00:22:20.860 Um, so Mike, you and I talked about getting out of NATO.

00:22:25.300 I mean, we could have just called each other, but we did it over X this week.

00:22:28.840 Um, because when we saw the, um, European countries start to say, Hey, X Elon Musk, you can't talk

00:22:40.460 to that presidential candidate when he offered it to Kamala Harris and she turned it down.

00:22:44.200 Um, it, it's interesting to me, um, that they would have the balls to do that to America, um, which shows

00:22:53.320 me that, you know, we may not have been involved, but we didn't mind them doing that.

00:22:59.820 Uh, and there's, so there's a couple of questions here.

00:23:02.720 One is, you know, were we involved in encouraging that at all?

00:23:07.260 And the second thing is, is this is the problem with all of this globalist stuff.

00:23:13.300 They now can pass laws in Europe that will affect us.

00:23:18.760 And we're all going down the same road and it's a road to hell.

00:23:23.560 No, it certainly is.

00:23:25.020 And look, as I said on X the other day, all right, that was fun, by the way, having that

00:23:29.220 communication.

00:23:30.900 Uh, look, uh, as I pointed out on X the other day, I, I, I thought it was,

00:23:37.260 I find it unfathomable that we didn't have somebody on the inside of the U S government

00:23:42.420 of the Biden administration.

00:23:43.740 That is to say that didn't either encourage or, or at least, uh, tell them that it was

00:23:49.820 okay to say that.

00:23:51.420 And let's remember what it is that we're talking about.

00:23:53.640 It, the, the EU's attempt here was, was essentially to extort Elon Musk, uh, uh, to tell him we're

00:24:01.500 going to regulate the heck out of you.

00:24:02.900 We're going to find you.

00:24:03.600 We're going to do whatever, uh, uh, punishing the EU can do.

00:24:08.760 Uh, if, if, if it had to air this interview with Donald Trump, because that could expose

00:24:14.120 European citizens to misinformation.

00:24:16.920 Now, I think we have to do that.

00:24:19.120 Well, it's something that fundamentally changed our relationship with these longstanding

00:24:22.520 European union allies.

00:24:24.140 22 of the 27 countries that belong to the EU also belong to NATO and they've been writing

00:24:30.980 on our big fat checks and our big fat security assistance for decades, which we've disproportionately

00:24:37.020 provide to them.

00:24:37.980 That puts us on the line, puts us blood and treasure on the line if they get attacked.

00:24:42.480 So I think in moments like these, we need to start to reassess our relationship with them

00:24:48.140 as far as trade, as far as our military alliance and otherwise, because this is messed up.

00:24:54.360 They weren't really worried about what this would do to European citizens.

00:24:57.680 They were trying to meddle, interfere with, and influence the outcome of the U S presidential

00:25:02.920 election.

00:25:03.440 And that's bad.

00:25:04.640 That's not something allies do to us, but it's not, you know, it's not coming just from

00:25:09.740 the EU, Mike, all of this stuff.

00:25:11.620 Remember the world economic forum, their number one thing they said they had to address this

00:25:17.840 election year in the world.

00:25:19.320 There are more people go into a ballot box than any other time in human history this year.

00:25:25.740 And the, um, politicians were starting to sweat because the W E F and all of their things

00:25:31.220 have been exposed.

00:25:32.200 The effects are starting to be, um, uh, felt.

00:25:35.300 And so the number one thing over global warming or anything was miss information.

00:25:40.760 And Klaus Schwab said, we have systems for this and everybody has to play their part and

00:25:46.980 politicians don't get weak need trust the system.

00:25:51.360 And that's, what's happening there.

00:25:53.620 They're all in on this with the W E F.

00:25:56.900 This is not just a few people's idea.

00:25:59.460 This is the governments around the world going rogue.

00:26:04.140 You agree with that?

00:26:05.800 Yes, I do.

00:26:07.580 Because you remember that the, the European, uh, union is, has these 27 countries that belong

00:26:14.180 to it.

00:26:14.520 22 of which are NATO member states.

00:26:17.100 Now, some people are now are trying to say, Oh, this was just one rogue commissioner,

00:26:21.440 theory, Breton, uh, uh, you know, France representative on the EC.

00:26:25.460 No, nonsense.

00:26:26.940 They were all just fine with that.

00:26:28.980 They were all on board with it completely.

00:26:31.920 Just as I suspect people in the Biden administration probably gave him the, okay.

00:26:35.800 If, if they didn't encourage it themselves, this is what they do. 1.00

00:26:40.660 This is the kind of crap that they pull. 1.00

00:26:43.060 Why? 1.00

00:26:43.700 Well, because they're all on board with all of the WTF stuff we see coming out of the

00:26:50.260 W E F. 0.99

00:26:51.060 And it's got to stop.

00:26:53.560 Can I ask you in the same subject, this monkey pox thing, you know, we got bird flu and monkey

00:26:58.800 pox right before an election and the W H O issued a global emergency order. 0.87

00:27:05.160 Are we going to go through COVID stuff again?

00:27:08.660 Over my dead body. 1.00

00:27:10.760 And, and look, Americans are going to put up with this crap. 0.99

00:27:13.800 I don't know if you saw the reaction when the W H O, the world health organization put 0.98

00:27:19.560 up that advisory the other day, there was a, just a widespread outcry.

00:27:23.440 No, we're not falling for that.

00:27:25.400 You can't pull that trick twice.

00:27:27.680 Uh, nonsense.

00:27:29.600 Uh, this has so many other differentiators, so many other reasons why this is not the same,

00:27:34.280 uh, as COVID.

00:27:35.920 We shouldn't have fallen for that the same way we did.

00:27:38.000 We're sure as heck not going to fall for this one.

00:27:41.520 I have to tell you, you know, we've grown up.

00:27:43.800 You and I both, if I'm a little older than you, in fact, probably a lot older than you.

00:27:48.940 And, um, I'm looking at everything that's, uh, that's going on.

00:27:52.920 And, and I've heard every election my whole life.

00:27:56.260 This is the most important election in your, in our history.

00:27:58.960 It's so important.

00:28:00.460 This is kind of it, isn't it?

00:28:02.180 This is like last call guys.

00:28:03.920 Are you going to go with socialism?

00:28:05.140 And I kind of like the fact that I wish they would just be honest about it a little more,

00:28:10.240 but their records show, uh, and, you know, Tim Walls has said, you know, one man's socialist

00:28:16.160 is another one is another man's neighborliness.

00:28:19.340 Um, they shown who they are.

00:28:21.660 And if America will look, we have an honest choice here between socialism and capitalism

00:28:28.620 and, you know, the American way of life and this new world order kind of way of life.

00:28:35.540 This is kind of it, isn't it?

00:28:37.900 This is it.

00:28:38.900 And that's one of many reasons why it's so important that we make sure that only American 1.00

00:28:44.800 citizens are voting in U S federal elections.

00:28:48.900 And we've got legislation that I've introduced in the Senate that Chip Roy is pushing in the

00:28:52.840 House.

00:28:53.160 It's called the save act.

00:28:54.340 You can find out about it at a website that we've set up specifically for that purpose.

00:29:00.120 Pass the save act.com.

00:29:01.820 So pass the save act.com.

00:29:03.480 This is, this is a bill that we're talking about that would require in order to register

00:29:09.340 to vote in a federal election, you'd have to prove that you're a U S citizen.

00:29:12.960 Something that we've all long assumed is the case anyway, but the Supreme court a few years

00:29:19.300 ago interpreted a federal law stupidly in my view, but they interpreted a federal law saying

00:29:25.380 that they can't require you to prove that at the time of voter registration.

00:29:29.760 If you're registering through the motor voter law, the save act would stop that and impose

00:29:34.480 criminal penalties for giving a ballot to somebody who's not.

00:29:37.200 We have time to do this, Mike.

00:29:39.020 And is there a chance that it'll be passed and signed?

00:29:42.480 There is, I think one path that we could do it.

00:29:45.880 We attach it to a spending bill.

00:29:47.900 Congress is going to have to confront a spending bill between now and the end of September.

00:29:52.080 When we reconvene in September, I hope that we can attach the save act to the spending bill

00:29:59.220 and say, this is part of funding government.

00:30:02.640 This is one of the conditions we have to make sure that only U S citizens can vote.

00:30:07.680 The only way that only way that will happen is if people really rise up, you know, and just

00:30:14.180 social media, spread it, the phones to Congress, and it becomes a big thing.

00:30:22.100 And it should with the conservatives, I think, you know, and I, and I really believe the average

00:30:27.800 Democrat, you know, I, I talked to a guy who was, you know, big in the democratic party or a big donor

00:30:33.220 in the democratic party a few years ago.

00:30:34.940 And he said, you know, you guys and your, uh, no ID for voters.

00:30:39.760 And I said, excuse me.

00:30:42.100 And he said, well, you guys have been pushing that forever.

00:30:44.080 And I'm like, no, you guys have been pushing that.

00:30:47.920 We're the ones for idea ID.

00:30:50.100 And he was an educated guy.

00:30:51.920 He just wasn't, you know, in politics all the time.

00:30:54.200 He was an educated guy, a smart guy.

00:30:55.940 And he was like, really, that's us.

00:30:57.720 And I'm like, yes, dude.

00:30:59.640 Yes.

00:31:00.760 Yes.

00:31:01.320 Most people are for it.

00:31:03.140 Mike, thank you so much.

00:31:04.320 God bless you.

00:31:05.940 Thank you, Glenn.

00:31:06.700 It's good to be with you.

00:31:07.560 Yeah, but you couldn't talk to you.

00:31:09.220 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:31:15.040 We don't have our guest on yet.

00:31:17.140 Okay.

00:31:18.680 Um, all right.

00:31:19.900 Well, we're just going to sit here and wait.

00:31:21.580 That's not, no, that's not, that's not how the, it's Friday, man.

00:31:25.380 It's Friday. 0.92

00:31:25.860 Everybody's screwing off. 0.95

00:31:26.760 Everybody. 0.97

00:31:27.340 I mean, I have worked almost two hours now.

00:31:31.580 Okay.

00:31:31.980 With only a break about every 10 minutes for five minutes, every 10 minutes, I take a five

00:31:37.540 minute break and you try to keep up with that.

00:31:40.520 Okay.

00:31:41.820 Just tired.

00:31:42.700 It's a really, the pace you put yourself on and the arduous life you live is something

00:31:48.400 that will be studied in future.

00:31:50.620 Oh yeah.

00:31:50.920 Really?

00:31:51.100 You're mocking it.

00:31:52.540 You try it.

00:31:53.300 You try it.

00:31:54.100 Okay.

00:31:55.240 Well, not you in particular.

00:31:57.660 Right.

00:31:57.840 I mean, other people that don't know how easy this job is.

00:32:03.260 Right.

00:32:04.160 They should try it.

00:32:05.480 It is important to note that life has become much easier for, since the farming, since everyone

00:32:12.640 had to farm and get their own food.

00:32:14.240 It has become much easier.

00:32:16.220 That does create some problems, but, uh, it does.

00:32:19.680 It does.

00:32:20.400 Because then we start going, you know what?

00:32:24.540 This, they're, they're not delivering my food fast enough.

00:32:29.500 I got it in 10 minutes.

00:32:31.420 I called, I just got on a nap and I ordered food.

00:32:34.940 You know, I'm sick of it.

00:32:36.920 Okay.

00:32:37.200 Dr. Epstein is on.

00:32:38.280 So we can, uh, we can talk to him now, doctor.

00:32:42.140 How are you, sir?

00:32:43.080 How are you, Robert?

00:32:47.380 Oh, you're on Glenn.

00:32:49.480 Pretty stressed out.

00:32:50.220 How are you?

00:32:51.640 You're stressed out.

00:32:52.960 I'm sorry to hear that.

00:32:54.180 It's Friday.

00:32:55.040 Yeah.

00:32:56.280 Um, so we just wanted to talk to you, uh, this, uh, stuff with, um, Google that's been

00:33:02.480 in the news this week is I think a, is, is, is not, is, is a giant nothing burger because,

00:33:10.140 um, it is that, that it is app that that happens all the time.

00:33:15.680 However, my problem is with the administration, not necessarily with Google.

00:33:19.640 The administration is saying that we are avoiding, you know, we're the guardians against any kind

00:33:24.820 of misinformation and yet they're making, they're, they're putting misinformation out

00:33:29.120 into the system, but that's not illegal yet.

00:33:32.460 Um, and Google is fine.

00:33:34.460 You are the guy who has been on the trail of what Google is actually doing.

00:33:39.480 So we're not distracted by stories like this.

00:33:43.680 What is Google actually doing to change the election right now?

00:33:49.120 Well, the key word here is distraction.

00:33:51.600 So I'm glad you mentioned that because, uh, I think Google itself is actually, uh, spreading

00:33:58.600 these, uh, nothing burgers is actually distracting us because they don't want us looking at what

00:34:04.600 they're really doing.

00:34:06.160 So what they're really, so wait, hold on just a second.

00:34:09.220 You think this is actually coming from Google and they're the ones spreading it.

00:34:14.220 Absolutely.

00:34:15.500 Of course they, they determine, remember they determine what goes viral and what doesn't

00:34:21.280 they have total control over that.

00:34:23.500 So if people are really talking about stuff, uh, you know, uh, it's because they're spreading

00:34:31.980 that information.

00:34:33.260 They, they're like magicians.

00:34:35.440 They're saying, look over here, look over, look over here.

00:34:38.260 Because they don't want you looking at them.

00:34:43.240 So what are they?

00:34:45.560 Go ahead.

00:34:46.760 We are looking at them.

00:34:48.620 So we, we have built the world's first, uh, and this is by the way, with, with the help

00:34:53.800 of, of your audience several years ago, we have now built the world's first nationwide,

00:35:00.200 uh, digital monitor monitoring system.

00:35:05.140 So if people go to America's with an S America's digital shield.com America's digital shield.com,

00:35:15.740 they can actually see a public dashboard where you'll see the data that we are collecting

00:35:22.620 24 hours a day right now from a politically balanced group of more than 15,000 registered

00:35:30.240 voters in all 50 States.

00:35:32.800 And we're actually looking at the real content that Google and other companies are sending

00:35:38.320 to registered voters and to children, by the way.

00:35:41.260 So we're, we're seeing what they're really doing, what they're really sending.

00:35:46.360 We're seeing their manipulations.

00:35:47.820 We're seeing the political bias and their content and it is staggering.

00:35:53.720 So just to tell you a quick example here, right this minute, Google is sending registered

00:36:00.820 to vote reminders to Democrats at two and a half times of the rate they're sending them

00:36:07.660 to Republicans now that that's called targeted messaging.

00:36:12.860 That's right on their homepage, which is seen more than 500 million times a day in the U S.

00:36:18.480 So that targeted messaging costs them nothing.

00:36:23.600 And those messages are going to turn into, to partisan mail in your ballot reminders.

00:36:30.460 And then they're going to turn into partisan go vote reminders.

00:36:34.420 And we're capturing all of that now.

00:36:38.620 So we're actually, yes, the evidence.

00:36:42.580 I am looking at your website and this is amazing.

00:36:47.280 I didn't, I wasn't aware of the website.

00:36:49.560 Looking at the dashboard, you have elections likely flipped by Google.

00:36:56.200 And these are actual election results.

00:36:59.080 You say in 2020, uh, Joe Biden was the winner.

00:37:03.240 Um, then in 2022, Arizona governor, uh, Katie Hobbs was flipped, uh, with 53 point, uh, 50.3%. 0.95

00:37:11.940 Um, uh, uh, Raphael Warnock, he was flipped.

00:37:16.860 Tony Evers, that was flipped.

00:37:19.520 Uh, the two Senate majority flipped.

00:37:21.780 Then you go down to with the results without Google's interference, the winner in 2020 would

00:37:28.320 have been, uh, Donald Trump.

00:37:30.180 The governor of Arizona would big carry Lake Herschel Walker would be in Tim Michaels would

00:37:36.520 be in, in Wisconsin.

00:37:37.980 U S Senate would be a two to eight seat majority for the Republicans.

00:37:42.940 If it wasn't for Google and the house, a 27 to 59 seat majority.

00:37:48.880 That's incredible.

00:37:52.100 Well, that's, uh, not, it is incredible.

00:37:55.080 And it's actually the truth because we have gotten so good now at figuring out what they're

00:38:01.700 doing, uh, which again, they don't want, they don't want anyone looking at them, but we're

00:38:07.380 not only figuring out what they're doing.

00:38:09.060 We're actually now capturing the, the, the real data and we're working with federal and

00:38:15.140 state officials around the country with AGs, uh, with public interest groups, election

00:38:20.740 integrity groups, just to figure out how we can use this massive database that we're collecting

00:38:27.680 to put more and more pressure on them to stop, to get out of our elections and get away from

00:38:34.380 our kids.

00:38:34.980 This is, this is amazing to see.

00:38:39.440 Um, are you, I see that you're monitoring Facebook, Tik TOK, Twitter, et cetera, et cetera.

00:38:44.760 What are you expecting to find in YouTube Yahoo?

00:38:48.040 What are you expecting to find on these?

00:38:50.440 Well, YouTube, we know for sure, uh, because we've gotten really good at monitoring YouTube.

00:38:56.580 What, what YouTube is doing is, you know, those recommendations that they make and especially

00:39:02.020 that, that, that one is a copy up next video that plays automatically.

00:39:06.820 Okay.

00:39:07.480 Yes.

00:39:07.840 Two things you need to know.

00:39:08.860 Number one, uh, according to, uh, literally Google officials and whistleblowers, both 70%

00:39:19.980 of the time that people are watching videos on YouTube around the world, those videos were

00:39:26.220 recommended by Google's up next algorithm, 70% of the videos, 70% of the time people are

00:39:34.560 watching videos, they're watching recommended videos.

00:39:38.460 So in other words, those recommendations have tremendous power over people.

00:39:45.200 They determine what people watch the up next video plays automatically.

00:39:49.920 Uh, if you pick no video at all, it just plays automatically.

00:39:53.500 So that's power.

00:39:56.020 That's incredible power.

00:39:57.340 And the second thing you need to know is that what we're doing is looking at the political

00:40:01.280 bias in the videos.

00:40:03.780 We look at the news sources that they come from and we're finding, uh, extreme political

00:40:11.020 bias always in one direction that is always in the liberal direction on YouTube.

00:40:19.280 And that has no effect, by the way, on people who have strong opinions, but it has a big

00:40:25.360 effect on the undecided voter.

00:40:28.340 That's the key here.

00:40:30.340 Um, I have to tell you, Robert, that I'm, I'm so thrilled for the success of this and

00:40:35.080 how you've built this out.

00:40:36.420 I know you still take donations.

00:40:37.960 So you just go to Americans, um, America's digital shield.com and look at the information

00:40:43.760 that he has.

00:40:45.080 Um, and I'm glad to hear that some people are starting to take this seriously.

00:40:49.340 I was talking to somebody the other day about Netflix and about AI and the guys at Netflix

00:40:56.900 said that, um, their, their, their AI, their, uh, understanding of their viewers is so strong

00:41:05.320 that they've turned it down because they said that people would find it uncomfortable because

00:41:12.740 it would be right all the time.

00:41:15.320 Um, and, uh, and with AI, what can be done to individuals?

00:41:21.800 Because you've talked about this with the, um, um, with the way that there's no tracking

00:41:28.060 of it.

00:41:28.420 There's no way to track.

00:41:29.620 You can turn an individual one way or the other quite easily, right?

00:41:35.760 Oh, yes.

00:41:36.580 And as a matter of fact, in fact, that we just, uh, uh, submitted a new paper for publication

00:41:43.240 on what we call DPE digital personalization effect, which is literally, literally people can

00:41:50.300 look at the manuscript at digital personalization effect.com.

00:41:54.820 And in this study, we're looking at what happens when they personalize content.

00:42:00.640 And, you know, if you, if they send bias content to someone who's undecided, that has a big effect

00:42:06.220 that produce a big shifts in people's thinking and opinions and votes.

00:42:10.200 But if they personalize the content based on everything they know about you, that effect

00:42:16.660 will triple.

00:42:17.860 It will triple and they have all that information about, about us.

00:42:23.660 They're surveilling us and our kids 24 hours a day and they're personalizing the content that

00:42:31.360 they send, which maximizes the impact of these manipulations.
