The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Brendan Carr & Justin Haskins ｜ 9⧸24⧸24

00:00:00.000 Hey, on today's podcast, how do you talk to your friends who don't seem to listen to reason at all?

00:00:07.880 They are the ones engulfed in the Democratic cult.

00:00:12.420 I know that sounds controversial, but I think you will understand and believe like I do.

00:00:18.500 This is a cult.

00:00:19.860 So how do you talk to your friends?

00:00:21.860 All that, plus Brendan Carr from the FCC.

00:00:24.420 Hey, George Soros, they just dropped all the laws, rules, and regulations,

00:00:29.240 so he could take a bunch of foreign money and buy 200 radio stations in America.

00:00:35.720 And Justin Haskins is here to tell us all about the U.N. and what happened over the weekend.

00:00:42.080 Global government coming your way.

00:00:43.900 It's the best of the Glenn Beck podcast, and we begin in a minute.

00:00:48.000 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:00:50.100 If you know a thing or two about pain, listen up.

00:00:53.240 For years, I woke up pretty much every day feeling like there was an elephant

00:00:56.880 that had been tap dancing on my hands all night.

00:00:59.840 I tried all things, everything I could to stop the pain.

00:01:03.340 It would not stop.

00:01:06.080 Thank goodness my wife, who is just the greatest wife. 1.00

00:01:10.440 I know you have a wife, and she's great and everything, but no.

00:01:14.260 Tanya's the best.

00:01:15.040 Anyway, I might have been threatened that she wouldn't listen to me anymore

00:01:21.100 if I didn't try Relief Factor.

00:01:25.340 So I tried it.

00:01:26.900 To her credit, it worked, and I got my life back.

00:01:30.380 Relief Factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation,

00:01:34.500 which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies, and a lot of disease as well.

00:01:39.140 100% drug-free, it was developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain,

00:01:43.140 and over a million people have tried Relief Factor's quick start kit.

00:01:46.780 70% of them have gone on to order it again and again.

00:01:49.760 So stop masking your pain and start fighting back naturally.

00:01:53.020 Give Relief Factor a try.

00:01:54.520 Right now, their three-week quick start is only $19.95.

00:01:57.320 It's less than a dollar a day.

00:01:59.520 So visit relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:02:05.600 800-4-RELIEF.

00:02:08.560 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:18.980 There's a lot I want to talk to you today.

00:02:22.000 I just said a couple of minutes ago before we went on the national broadcast

00:02:26.420 that there are some things that I have had on my mind for 20 years,

00:02:33.700 some things that I hoped that I would never have to say to you,

00:02:39.380 but today just very well may be that day.

00:02:44.300 There's some really important things that are happening around the world.

00:02:49.040 For instance, the UN is voting in all of these really draconian laws this week,

00:02:56.740 and we're going to get into that next hour.

00:02:59.820 It is the formation of one global government, and we're all for it.

00:03:05.460 Did you know that?

00:03:06.840 That's happening right now, today.

00:03:10.220 We'll talk about it coming up in just a second.

00:03:14.920 We're not talking to each other.

00:03:16.920 You know, I think every day of my friends and some of my family members who are living in a dream.

00:03:24.540 They hate Donald Trump so much, they just can't get past it.

00:03:31.480 And they think that, you know, I'm delusional.

00:03:34.860 I know you have this in your family. 0.99

00:03:37.040 You've got to remember, in my family, you know, I'm the stinky brother.

00:03:40.560 I was the youngest, so, you know, what does Glenn know?

00:03:44.760 Nobody in my family is impressed by me, so it's a good thing, too. 0.98

00:03:49.120 It keeps you humble, but it's hard.

00:03:51.640 It's hard, because I know what I know.

00:03:54.540 How do you talk to people?

00:03:58.080 Why can't they see the things that you see?

00:04:04.780 How come they can't see?

00:04:06.220 This isn't about Donald Trump.

00:04:08.000 It's not about Donald Trump.

00:04:10.220 It is truly about freedom.

00:04:11.900 But they are being told that Donald Trump is the biggest obstacle, the biggest danger to freedom in the republic.

00:04:24.540 And I think, in some ways, COVID-19 broke us.

00:04:27.720 I mean, this has been happening for a while, but COVID-19 broke us.

00:04:30.700 People who were once reasonable began to call for the banishment of the unvaccinated from civil society. 0.83

00:04:37.480 It was truly remarkable, what happened to us.

00:04:42.340 People were saying we should be sent to jail if you didn't get vaccinated.

00:04:45.940 Some people said we shouldn't get medical care.

00:04:48.340 Doctors, nurses said they wouldn't treat people. 0.94

00:04:52.340 You let people with cancer die.

00:04:54.720 Death was divided by vaccine status and treated accordingly.

00:05:01.340 Information was censored, quote, for our own good.

00:05:05.220 Anyone who questioned the leader or fell out of line was deemed as dangerous or literally accused of killing people.

00:05:12.860 Stephen Hassan developed the BITE, B-I-T-E model, by, among other things, studying the brainwashing that happened in Maoist China.

00:05:26.040 BITE, B-I-T-E, stands for behavior, information, thought, and emotional control.

00:05:34.280 BITE, BITE, and it identifies the patterns used by cults or communists to manipulate their members.

00:05:43.960 This is the same things that the Germans did, the Nazis did. 0.95

00:05:48.620 Now, there are 50 attributes to watch for, but I want you to listen to this.

00:05:54.700 I don't know if I'm going to have time to go through all 50, but I'm going to hit many of them quickly.

00:05:59.080 But I want you to listen to this and compare them to your experience during the COVID-19 pandemic and right now.

00:06:07.660 Here's what a cult does to its people to indoctrinate them.

00:06:13.400 Dictate where, how, and with whom the member lives and associates or isolates from.

00:06:21.660 Financial exploitation, manipulation, or dependence.

00:06:25.340 Restrict leisure, entertainment, and vacation time.

00:06:30.700 Permission is required for major decisions.

00:06:33.920 Does any of this sound like COVID-19?

00:06:37.820 Rewards and punishments are used to modify behaviors, both positive and negative.

00:06:44.060 You can go to work if you're vaccined.

00:06:46.040 You cannot go to work if you haven't had the vaccine.

00:06:50.780 Discourage individualism.

00:06:52.840 Encourage groupthink.

00:06:54.280 Impose rigid rules and regulations.

00:06:57.440 Instill dependency and obedience.

00:07:00.760 Deliberately withhold information.

00:07:04.400 Distort information to make it more acceptable.

00:07:08.460 Systematically lie.

00:07:10.940 Number 12.

00:07:11.740 Minimize or discourage access to non-cult sources of information.

00:07:17.680 Don't do your own homework.

00:07:19.660 God forbid you're not doing your own homework, are you?

00:07:21.720 Internet, TV, radio, books, articles, newspapers, magazines, media, all critical information.

00:07:28.300 Don't talk to anybody who disagrees with what the leadership says.

00:07:32.840 And keep people so busy they don't have time to think or investigate.

00:07:37.000 And control through cell phone with texting calls, internet tracking.

00:07:42.600 In a cult, information is tightly controlled.

00:07:47.300 Members are discouraged or forbidden from doing homework outside of the cult.

00:07:56.260 Critical thinking and questioning are not just discouraged.

00:08:01.860 They're seen as signs of betrayal.

00:08:06.660 Encouraged spying on other members.

00:08:14.820 Extensive use of cult-generated information and propaganda, including newsletters, magazines, journals, audiotapes, videotapes, YouTube, movies, and other media.

00:08:26.340 Require members to internalize the group's doctrine as truth.

00:08:35.060 Think.

00:08:35.860 If you're not an anti-racist, you are a racist.

00:08:40.600 And come to this program that we're now having in your office and internalize it. 0.96

00:08:49.560 Say it.

00:08:50.760 Live it.

00:08:52.520 Say it.

00:08:53.760 Preach it.

00:08:55.660 Instill black and white thinking.

00:08:58.040 Decide between good and evil and organize people into us versus them.

00:09:03.080 The use of loaded language and cliches that constrict knowledge, stop critical thoughts, and reduce complexities into buzzwords.

00:09:13.800 Follow the science.

00:09:17.420 He's a existential threat to our democracy.

00:09:24.160 Rejection of rational analysis, critical thinking, and constructive criticism.

00:09:28.740 Forbid critical questions about the leadership, doctrine, or policy.

00:09:35.520 Labeling alternative belief systems as illegitimate, evil, destructive, or not useful.

00:09:44.540 Make the person feel that the problems are always their own fault, never the fault of the leaders or the group.

00:09:52.380 You just don't understand inflation.

00:09:54.580 You're part of this racist system.

00:10:02.500 Promote feelings of guilt or unworthiness, such as identity guilt. 0.98

00:10:08.800 You're a white man.

00:10:10.660 You're not doing enough to save the planet. 1.00

00:10:14.680 Your family is really the problem.

00:10:18.040 Your past is suspect.

00:10:20.240 Your affiliations are unwise.

00:10:22.120 Your thoughts, your feelings, your actions are irrelevant or selfish.

00:10:26.860 They pile on social guilt and historic guilt.

00:10:31.800 This is not about...

00:10:33.300 I didn't write this.

00:10:35.580 Historical guilt?

00:10:39.100 Fear, shame, and guilt are very powerful tools.

00:10:44.220 Members are often told that leaving the group will result in catastrophic consequences,

00:10:49.600 either in this life or the next.

00:10:52.120 Now, let me ask you.

00:10:55.240 Catastrophic consequences.

00:10:56.700 You mean like everyone will die because of global warming if you don't step up

00:11:03.140 and shout down everyone who's questioning?

00:11:06.760 Those people should be put in jail. 0.99

00:11:08.500 We don't have time to debate it.

00:11:10.320 Shunning all those who leave. 1.00

00:11:14.500 Giving a fear of being rejected by friends and family if you leave.

00:11:22.340 Tulsi, RFK Jr., Roseanne.

00:11:27.160 Who else?

00:11:28.580 Who else has left and they've been completely shunned?

00:11:34.760 I'll tell you who else.

00:11:36.020 Everyone else who has woken up.

00:11:39.360 Everyone else.

00:11:40.380 They all say, my gosh, I lost all of my friends.

00:11:43.560 Phobia, indoctrination.

00:11:50.280 Inculcating irrational fears about leaving the group or questioning the leader's authority.

00:11:56.140 That's not even, that's not the whole list, by the way.

00:12:02.660 Does it seem like maybe we're witnessing this kind of stuff?

00:12:09.560 The anti-racist stuff.

00:12:17.500 I can never be forgiven for that.

00:12:20.340 No.

00:12:20.980 The moment you say you're not a racist, it's taken as a proclamation of guilt.

00:12:25.920 And the cycle just begins over again.

00:12:28.420 Being an anti-racist, it never stops.

00:12:30.740 It never, ever stops.

00:12:33.720 It is really quite brilliant.

00:12:35.300 You know, you want to know which one is building a cult.

00:12:39.540 Let me ask you, which one has hired all of the best behavioral scientists to help them form all of their policies?

00:12:48.720 It's not Donald Trump.

00:12:52.220 Why would you hire a behavioral scientist?

00:12:56.320 Well, behavioral scientists are really a modern version of propagandists.

00:13:05.300 How can I get you to do something without you knowing I'm trying to get you to do something?

00:13:12.080 How can I play things off each other?

00:13:14.940 It is manipulation.

00:13:18.540 All of the best behavioral scientists are all working for the administration and the Democratic Party.

00:13:26.420 It's all manipulation.

00:13:29.160 So what do we do?

00:13:30.480 I mean, because they have sought out the people with vulnerabilities.

00:13:38.940 They have sought out the people who have a sense of guilt.

00:13:42.900 Why are so many white people the ones who are telling black people exactly how to live?

00:13:49.440 Why are they? 0.76

00:13:50.300 Why are?

00:13:51.060 Because they have this sense of guilt for some reason.

00:13:55.220 People with a vulnerability also, you know, you've been kept down.

00:14:00.780 You've been kept down.

00:14:03.080 If they can identify people that are vulnerable, the cult will offer an antidote.

00:14:09.640 And they have to have a bad guy.

00:14:13.160 They have to have a Satan to point at.

00:14:15.900 So, what do we do about it?

00:14:22.260 How do we talk to our friends?

00:14:24.900 Well, there is no easy, quick, I think we can do this in 40 days.

00:14:31.060 That's not going to happen.

00:14:32.340 But I will tell you, as I was looking at the ways you solve it, I realized this is what has happened in so many relationships that I know of.

00:14:44.800 The wrong thing has happened.

00:14:47.480 And it's because we don't know, because we are looking at this and saying, wait, think about this rationally.

00:14:54.440 They can't.

00:14:55.980 They can't.

00:14:56.860 And that's no fault of their own.

00:14:58.100 They have been manipulated and brainwashed.

00:15:06.300 Getting somebody out of a cult is really hard and very frustrating.

00:15:15.880 And it takes a long time.

00:15:19.300 And you make a mistake and you reset.

00:15:22.500 Because it's all about trust.

00:15:25.480 No, I can't say that.

00:15:26.440 It's all about truly loving the other person.

00:15:31.180 And listening.

00:15:34.080 And then, no matter how angry you might get, never expressing that anger.

00:15:41.960 Because if you want to save them, you must listen to them.

00:15:48.220 And it's so hard.

00:15:49.640 So let me give you some advice.

00:15:54.620 Talking to your family and your friends.

00:15:57.560 This is going to become very critical.

00:16:06.620 Because even our own side could splinter.

00:16:10.940 And the only ones that will save the Constitution, even if it is just being lived in your own home,

00:16:19.240 will be those who are exercising love in this way.

00:16:26.360 First, do not assume bad intentions.

00:16:31.900 There are people that have bad intentions.

00:16:34.480 But not everybody.

00:16:36.380 Some of them actually believe.

00:16:38.340 Most of them.

00:16:39.000 If they're people you know, and they're your family, you know them.

00:16:43.800 They don't have ill intent.

00:16:46.320 They've been convinced that they're on the right side.

00:16:52.680 So, don't assume ill intent.

00:16:55.960 And then it starts with asking questions.

00:17:00.720 I don't know how my friends got there.

00:17:04.420 I really don't.

00:17:06.020 How did you get here?

00:17:07.720 Wait, I really want to understand.

00:17:10.100 And if you try to defend yourself on this, you will lose.

00:17:14.580 And you'll have to start all over again some other time.

00:17:17.280 So, you can't get angry.

00:17:19.220 And you can't defend.

00:17:20.840 You just want to know the answer to questions.

00:17:24.020 And it has to be sincere.

00:17:26.740 And it has to show respect.

00:17:28.880 Tell me about this.

00:17:30.380 Tell me.

00:17:30.780 I want to understand Donald Trump and how you got there and what you think.

00:17:38.560 And you've got to stay calm, which is another hard one.

00:17:42.980 And then you have to make the complete case, your case, complete case,

00:17:52.900 every single time.

00:17:57.680 If you can do the first three, don't assume ill intent and make sure that they know that

00:18:07.660 you are not blaming them for anything.

00:18:10.180 Ask them honest questions.

00:18:12.180 Stay calm.

00:18:13.280 Then you might be able to make your case.

00:18:16.640 But you have to make the full case.

00:18:20.600 And it's got to be solid.

00:18:25.780 The biggest problem we have now is we are becoming almost spiritually dead.

00:18:33.640 We're losing our spiritual well-being.

00:18:38.100 We've got a cultural revolution, a sexual revolution. 0.99

00:18:41.120 We need a spiritual restoration.

00:18:43.420 We need a national revival.

00:18:45.420 Find all of this now at glennbeck.com.

00:18:49.920 Let me tell you about good ranchers.

00:19:54.520 Now, back to the podcast.

00:19:56.840 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:03.760 All right, I want to tell you what happened with the FCC yesterday.

00:20:08.300 So last week, this just came out, last week the FCC adopted an order to approve the purchase of more than 200 radio stations in 40 markets just a couple of weeks before the presidential election.

00:20:26.160 I don't think this is going to affect the presidential election, but the one who's behind this is George Soros.

00:20:35.680 George Soros just bought 200 radio stations in 40 different markets.

00:20:42.320 Now, the vote came down in the FCC.

00:20:45.080 It was partisan.

00:20:46.100 Three Democrats voting for it.

00:20:47.880 Two Republicans voting against it.

00:20:50.000 But here's the real problem.

00:20:52.980 According to existing FCC rules, foreign company ownership of U.S. radio stations is not supposed to exceed 25%.

00:21:02.440 But Soros took foreign investment money to make his bid.

00:21:09.220 And then he asked the FCC to make an exception to the usual review process.

00:21:17.420 So the FCC fast-tracked this.

00:21:22.940 Why?

00:21:23.740 Why would they do that?

00:21:27.400 There's something else that is really important.

00:21:31.020 You know, the left has been saying, we got to get off a dial-up.

00:21:36.140 We got to get off a dial-up.

00:21:37.660 We need high-speed internet for the rural areas.

00:21:42.020 Well, for some reason, the FCC has delayed the rollout of the internet to rural communities.

00:21:51.780 Again, why are they doing that?

00:21:56.860 Maybe the guy who has the answer is the FCC commissioner.

00:22:00.580 He's Brendan Carr.

00:22:02.320 Brendan, how are you, sir?

00:22:04.180 I'm doing great.

00:22:05.120 Wonderful to join you again.

00:22:06.540 I wish we would talk on good things, you know.

00:22:09.400 Call me sometimes when something, you know what?

00:22:12.240 Something great happened.

00:22:13.220 Brendan, tell me, do I have this right, first of all, about the George Soros takeover of radio stations?

00:22:25.320 And if so, why was there an exception made and fast-tracked?

00:22:29.120 Well, as you know, the New York Post has a story out last week, or actually yesterday, that says that the FCC last week adopted an order that effectively fast-tracks Soros' purchase of these 200 radio stations.

00:22:47.200 And I haven't commented on that publicly because the fact is the FCC hasn't released a final decision to the public yet.

00:22:53.780 But the reporting is that we adopted it last week in a 3-2 vote.

00:22:58.520 I've been outspoken on this particular issue for the reasons that you talked about.

00:23:02.400 We have a very clear process of the FCC that we've set up that could take six months, could take a year to go through to review the foreign ownership at issue here.

00:23:10.440 But for reasons that are not sort of plain to me, the FCC commission, for the very first time ever, has skipped that process for the benefit of this Soros-backed group.

00:23:23.800 And I'll sort of let people draw their own conclusions about it.

00:23:26.600 But, again, it's an unprecedented decision for the commission.

00:23:29.720 Never happened before.

00:23:32.660 That's right.

00:23:33.240 We, at the commission level, adopted one way that you can buy radio stations if you have excessive foreign ownership, which they do.

00:23:42.680 And that one process is this lengthy six-to-one-year national security review.

00:23:47.900 And it's been skipped here.

00:23:48.940 Now, a lot of these stations are probably just, you know, classic rock or news, but not all of them.

00:23:54.540 And they don't have to be.

00:23:56.280 They can switch formats.

00:23:57.100 Yeah, there's a number of stations that you're on, for instance, at least three stations that you're on that are part of this deal.

00:24:04.280 Same with Sean Hannity, same with Dana Lash, same with Mark Levin.

00:24:08.040 So there's at least some of these that are, you know, conservative news and talk outlets.

00:24:15.840 I've got to tell you, if this was a conservative doing this, I doubt the FCC would have okayed it.

00:24:22.800 Any ramifications?

00:24:24.560 Go ahead.

00:24:24.980 Well, yeah, Glenn, we actually have that example.

00:24:27.760 So not too long ago, maybe a year or so ago, there was a group of conservative buyers that wanted to purchase some South Florida radio stations.

00:24:38.380 And a number of Democrats spoke up very loudly and said the FCC cannot allow these conservative outlets to buy these radio stations because, in the Democrats' view, it could cost them elections in South Florida.

00:24:51.020 And amidst that pressure campaign, the conservative buyers abandoned the deal.

00:24:56.800 And so we've seen across the board concerted efforts by Democrats to sort of weaponize the government to go against conservative speech.

00:25:05.360 There was California Democrats in Congress that wrote a letter to cable companies telling them to drop Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN because of the editorial decisions that their newsrooms were making.

00:25:15.800 We had a Baltimore Democrat prosecutor call on the FCC to investigate a local TV station that was exposing her own corruption. 1.00

00:25:24.740 And so this is sort of the reverse side of a pattern that we've been living under the last couple of years of weaponization of government power, in my view, frankly, against free speech.

00:25:35.240 Now, we are told everywhere that radio is a dying medium.

00:25:40.820 Why would George Soros want to invest this kind of money?

00:25:46.500 What did he say in his request?

00:25:50.620 It's a good question.

00:25:51.800 I mean, look, I don't know a lot of billionaires right now that with all of the options for where they're going to place their money,

00:25:59.920 they're sitting around saying, you know what really kicks off a lot of cash right now are local radio stations.

00:26:05.080 Maybe, maybe.

00:26:06.420 But if anything, we're seeing the opposite.

00:26:08.460 We're seeing a flight of capital from local broadcasting because it's so challenged right now with competition from social media companies and over-the-top providers.

00:26:18.060 So maybe there's a business case there that they're smart enough to see that everyone else doesn't see.

00:26:22.600 But that's really not the direction of the capital we're seeing right now.

00:26:25.920 And the foreign investment, do we know who these people are?

00:26:29.980 No, we don't.

00:26:30.660 So the Odyssey stations went into bankruptcy, and the Soros group put together a bunch of investors to buy it out.

00:26:37.240 And they've come forward and said, you know, there's in excess of 25%, which is the threshold, of foreign entities that are investing.

00:26:46.760 It's more likely than not that there's no big deal there at all.

00:26:49.680 But the fact is, we usually run a national security view to identify who those are and whether they're fine or not.

00:26:55.240 And what Soros has said that is in the near term, they'll wall off those foreign stakeholders and then come back to the FCC down the road to run that longer sort of six-month to one-year process.

00:27:06.240 So I think we do need to continue to stay vigilant here.

00:27:08.280 This is an issue, at least with respect to that portion of it, that we'll come back before the FCC in the coming months.

00:27:13.260 Any idea how long it'll take before he has control?

00:27:18.280 I think it will be almost instantaneous, you know, after the FCC releases a final decision that approves it.

00:27:27.560 You know, they've already been sort of partly getting them out of bankruptcy.

00:27:31.440 But I think it will be a near instantaneous ability to take the reins of all these 200 stations once the FCC's decision, if this reporting is right.

00:27:40.180 This is such a game we're playing here.

00:27:43.260 When do you suppose, if this reporting is right, they will report on the vote that you were involved in?

00:27:52.760 I think the reporting that I've seen suggests that, you know, it could be within the next week or so.

00:27:58.000 Okay. So this could actually take place before the election?

00:28:02.800 Oh, yes. I would expect that, for sure. Well ahead of it.

00:28:04.920 Talk to me about the other really weird thing that happened with the high-speed Internet in rural areas.

00:28:17.500 Well, this is interesting.

00:28:18.680 There seems to be a pattern emerging within the Biden-Harris administration of,

00:28:23.900 despite investing billions and billions of everybody's taxpayer dollars,

00:28:28.620 leaving rural America behind when it comes to connectivity.

00:28:31.460 So back in 2019 and 2020, we cut a deal with EchoStar, with DISH,

00:28:39.580 to guarantee that they would provide 5G high-speed Internet to rural America.

00:28:44.880 It was part of a DOJ settlement.

00:28:46.100 It was actually litigated in court.

00:28:48.120 It was adopted by the full commission.

00:28:49.440 And then in a Friday afternoon news dump last week, the SEC's leadership,

00:28:54.460 without any public input being sought, relieved DISH, EchoStar of that obligation.

00:29:01.460 It was just a one-sentence entry in a licensing database.

00:29:04.640 And frankly, I've been at the SEC for 12 years.

00:29:07.220 I've never seen anything like that.

00:29:09.360 It's sort of the worst abusive process that I've seen at the agency.

00:29:13.260 You know, we had rural Americans guaranteed to get this service.

00:29:15.300 It was a June 2025 build-out obligation.

00:29:18.720 And DISH, EchoStar came in and asked for relief on a Tuesday night last week.

00:29:23.820 And by Friday, this massive relief was provided without any input from me,

00:29:30.980 or I'm assuming at least the Republican commissioner that I'm with.

00:29:36.460 I'm trying to piece this together.

00:29:39.100 Why would that happen?

00:29:40.900 Well, I think there's still a lot of questions to be answered.

00:29:45.620 You know, there was some sort of deal that was cut here,

00:29:48.520 the features of which have not been publicly disclosed.

00:29:54.500 You know, I just think this is one where we still have to ask a lot of questions.

00:29:59.540 I mean, there was a rumor that I heard over the weekend that said that this company,

00:30:04.120 DISH, EchoStar, could potentially go bankrupt before the election if they didn't get this relief.

00:30:09.840 That's just a rumor. I don't know if it's true.

00:30:11.920 But I certainly think there's a lot more to this because, again,

00:30:14.300 the only thing the FCC did was enter a one-sentence line in its licensing database granting this extension.

00:30:20.240 So I think the agency has a lot more explaining to do to justify this significant decision.

00:30:24.460 I thank you very much for your courage, for speaking out and being the guy you are.

00:30:35.680 I mean, I've been in this business for, you know, almost 50 years,

00:30:40.340 and I've never even thought of an FCC commissioner because they weren't, you know,

00:30:46.600 they just didn't, I don't know, they didn't have that much effect on, you know, everyday life.

00:30:54.160 And the things that are coming out of the FCC now are truly, I think, frightening,

00:30:59.760 especially if you're on my end of the microphone.

00:31:02.440 It is, it's stuff I've never seen before.

00:31:06.200 As you say, you've been a commissioner for 12 years.

00:31:08.540 You've never seen it before.

00:31:11.000 And it doesn't make a lot of sense unless you start to think like a, you know,

00:31:16.720 like a thriller writer, and then it just becomes more terrifying.

00:31:21.020 Brendan, thank you.

00:31:23.220 Enjoyed it.

00:31:23.740 And one day I'll come back on and we will have some good news.

00:31:26.200 I'm sure it'll happen at some point.

00:31:28.060 All right, good.

00:31:28.660 Thanks.

00:31:29.380 Brendan Carr, the FCC commissioner, one of the good guys.

00:31:32.820 I want him to come on and be like, my daughter had two hits in her softball game.

00:31:35.620 Yeah.

00:31:35.820 Like, that's the interview I want to do with that guy.

00:31:37.460 Uh-huh.

00:31:37.820 That would be nice.

00:31:38.440 I'd like something a little bigger than that.

00:31:40.080 I just want something positive.

00:31:42.400 You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.

00:31:44.680 Need a little more?

00:31:45.340 Check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts.

00:31:49.700 Justin Haskins.

00:31:51.340 He is the co-author of The Great Reset, Dark Future,

00:31:56.640 and the latest book that we've been working on in the last year,

00:32:01.320 which releases October 22nd.

00:32:03.620 You can pre-order it now.

00:32:06.060 Propaganda Wars.

00:32:07.900 Kind of an important book for today,

00:32:10.400 especially with everything that we're talking about.

00:32:12.820 But I want to talk to him now about what has happened at the UN this weekend

00:32:19.220 with the United Nations Summit of the Future.

00:32:23.880 Justin, welcome to the program.

00:32:26.640 Thanks, Glenn.

00:32:27.660 Good to be back with you.

00:32:29.800 Yeah.

00:32:29.920 I wish I had better news.

00:32:31.200 I'm getting the reputation around Mercury Studios being kind of like the angel of death.

00:32:36.200 Yeah.

00:32:36.820 Yeah, I know.

00:32:37.720 I know.

00:32:38.200 I know.

00:32:38.540 Pretty much everybody who's coming on this show today is kind of like,

00:32:41.720 ah, more good news from you, huh?

00:32:44.420 Thank you for watching this so closely.

00:32:48.200 First of all, explain what the Summit of the Future was.

00:32:51.560 Yeah, so the Summit of the Future was the culmination of several years of work.

00:32:57.500 It really began during the COVID era in 2020, 2021,

00:33:01.920 with the UN Secretary General producing this report called Our Common Agenda,

00:33:07.620 which is something that you've talked about in several shows and specials and things like that.

00:33:12.100 And so the culmination of all of that was this Summit of the Future that they just held over the weekend

00:33:20.160 prior to the start of their General Assembly.

00:33:23.140 Obviously, as you noted, there were three agreements, all of which came out of Our Common Agenda,

00:33:30.360 Pact for the Future, Declaration of Future Generations, Global Digital Compact.

00:33:34.600 All of this is meant to dramatically expand the power and influence of the United Nations.

00:33:39.760 That's the whole point of it.

00:33:41.460 And I don't think it's a coincidence that they designed it.

00:33:44.220 In fact, I know it's not a coincidence that they designed for all of this.

00:33:47.580 They planned for it to be proposed and approved immediately before the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

00:33:55.700 There's a reason for that, because this is about making sure that there are plans in place,

00:34:02.580 infrastructure in place.

00:34:04.180 If Donald Trump does not win this election,

00:34:06.620 that will further the agenda of the Biden administration

00:34:11.160 and sort of the great reset crowd moving forward, no matter who wins.

00:34:16.520 So talk to me about the Pact for the Future.

00:34:19.620 There are three separate parts, and you can look all of this up online.

00:34:24.080 But give me the summary on the Pact for the Future.

00:34:26.940 What is that?

00:34:28.820 Yes.

00:34:29.320 So the Pact for the Future is a very large document,

00:34:32.860 includes tons and tons of commitments by member nations.

00:34:37.440 It was approved by basically the entire United Nations over the weekend,

00:34:42.880 including the United States.

00:34:44.480 In fact, Secretary Blinken, yesterday afternoon, gave a speech praising the Pact for the Future.

00:34:52.700 So it includes all kinds of radical provisions.

00:34:56.340 Probably the most important one, the one that we've been looking at most closely,

00:35:01.620 is something called the Emergency Platform.

00:35:04.500 The idea behind this is to give sweeping powers to the U.N. Secretary General

00:35:09.320 in the event of a future, what they call global shock,

00:35:13.620 which is not clearly defined in the document.

00:35:16.820 The idea is essentially to expand the power of the Secretary General

00:35:22.760 so that they can better manage at the U.N. international crises.

00:35:28.220 Okay.

00:35:28.340 So they had COVID in mind when they wrote this.

00:35:30.360 So there is some good news on that.

00:35:33.280 The document, the language for the document at the last minute,

00:35:37.400 and I've been tracking the various revisions and versions and stuff, changed.

00:35:41.620 And they took some of that emergency platform language out

00:35:45.300 and replaced it with this vague promise to have the Secretary General develop a plan in the future.

00:35:52.900 And so they essentially kicked the can down the road, I think,

00:35:56.000 because that provision was becoming a little too controversial.

00:35:59.180 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:36:02.520 This is so fascinating.

00:36:04.920 So it was that the Secretary General could just say,

00:36:10.160 this is an emergency, a global shock, and it is a, let's say, a financial shock,

00:36:17.600 and we've got to stop everybody who is disagreeing with the central banks.

00:36:25.900 We all have to stand by the central banks, and we have to do this and this,

00:36:29.240 and he could dictate what happens in each country, could he not?

00:36:33.660 That's the way it was originally written.

00:36:35.760 It was really vaguely worded to give him sweeping power.

00:36:40.680 While also respecting national, they would throw in language like that,

00:36:44.480 but to give him sweeping powers in the event of an emergency.

00:36:46.820 Right.

00:36:47.160 Correct.

00:36:47.660 Okay.

00:36:48.100 Now, did they write this in the way the Democrats write things,

00:36:52.900 where it's passed and it says pretty much,

00:36:56.320 at the time of implementation and at the discretion of the Secretary,

00:37:08.500 such and such will happen.

00:37:10.000 Did they write it that way,

00:37:11.500 or does he actually have to come back and propose things,

00:37:15.240 or is it at his discretion?

00:37:18.540 He has to, he has, so, in the, up until the very end,

00:37:22.420 the draft was very specifically asking him to give, you know,

00:37:26.240 basically lay out the specific plans for an emergency platform.

00:37:31.280 The final past language says, this is the actual language,

00:37:35.880 consider, they want the Secretary General to consider approaches to strengthen

00:37:39.980 the United Nations system response to complex global shocks within existing authorities,

00:37:46.920 and dot, dot, dot.

00:37:47.760 It goes on and on and on.

00:37:48.720 But in other words, provide, we want you to re-propose all this stuff in the future.

00:37:54.180 Okay.

00:37:54.400 So it did not actually come into international law.

00:37:58.120 Okay.

00:37:58.480 Under this agreement.

00:37:59.260 All right.

00:37:59.580 So, no, wait, hang on just a second.

00:38:00.740 One other thing.

00:38:01.860 When we say it passed, there was no actual vote, right?

00:38:06.260 It was, you could vote against it, which nobody did.

00:38:11.020 Isn't that right?

00:38:11.460 They do this a lot.

00:38:12.440 They do this a lot at the United Nations,

00:38:14.320 where they pass things by consensus, is what it's called,

00:38:17.520 and it essentially is a way for them to pass things without having to formally vote for it.

00:38:23.080 But it, in essence, passed.

00:38:24.980 Yes.

00:38:25.220 That is crazy.

00:38:26.560 Okay.

00:38:27.220 Yeah.

00:38:27.520 So now the Declaration on Future Generations, what was that?

00:38:31.100 And this one did not have anything removed from it, right?

00:38:35.000 As far as I know, no.

00:38:36.680 This was mainly, this is the most idealistic one.

00:38:39.640 This was, the idea behind this is to get younger people more involved in,

00:38:44.320 think Greta Thunberg type, more involved in, you know, their international agreements, 1.00

00:38:50.560 creating a new position at the United Nations specifically for that purpose,

00:38:54.700 all these vague commitments to socialistic policies about reducing inequalities between nations

00:39:02.380 and battling climate change and stuff like that.

00:39:05.020 But that one, to me, was the least objectionable of all of them,

00:39:09.720 just because it didn't, it was so idealistic and vaguely worded that I don't know how damaging

00:39:14.820 it would be, to be totally honest.

00:39:17.280 And the Global Digital Compact is the third part, and that passed.

00:39:21.020 Yeah.

00:39:21.900 Yeah.

00:39:22.180 This is the most damaging one, I think.

00:39:25.020 I think this is the most disturbing one.

00:39:27.120 This passed as well.

00:39:28.900 Essentially, what this is meant to do is a few different things.

00:39:32.300 It's meant to dramatically increase global governance of artificial intelligence.

00:39:38.540 They want to create a couple of different new organizations, an independent international

00:39:46.580 scientific panel on AI and the Global Dialogue and AI Governance Program.

00:39:52.520 They want to have more collaboration with big tech, public-private partnerships, additional

00:39:57.780 funding pumped into that, all of it designed to embed artificial intelligence and other emerging

00:40:03.900 technologies with left-wing social justice goals, essentially.

00:40:09.160 And they're very clear about that in the document.

00:40:12.220 So that's a huge thing we've been warning about for a long time, going, you know, Dark

00:40:16.640 Future was all about that.

00:40:18.200 We talk about that a ton in Propaganda Wars and how emerging technologies is going to manipulate

00:40:23.240 every part of our society.

00:40:25.520 And then, of course, misinformation, disinformation, a safe and secure internet, these kinds of things

00:40:31.820 are riddled throughout the Global Digital Compact.

00:40:34.800 This is probably the largest propaganda effort the UN is about to launch, the largest propaganda

00:40:39.800 effort, I think, in modern history.

00:40:43.980 You've probably got to go back to, like, the Soviet Union or something before you're going

00:40:48.580 to find something like this.

00:40:50.260 They want to create all kinds of different collaborations with the media, with big tech companies, to control

00:40:59.380 the internet for misinformation, disinformation, hate speech, et cetera.

00:41:03.900 So, specifically, here's an example.

00:41:06.900 This is from the agreement.

00:41:08.180 This is what was actually approved.

00:41:09.620 This is just one of many examples.

00:41:11.540 Quote, provide, promote, and facilitate access to and dissemination of independent, fact-based, timely, targeted,

00:41:19.980 clear, accessible, multilingual, and science-based information to counter myths and disinformation.

00:41:25.740 Strengthening independent and public media and supporting journalists and media workers.

00:41:32.040 Obviously, we're talking about people who share in their values.

00:41:34.460 So, we're talking about creating fact-checking apparatuses at the United Nations, creating and

00:41:41.240 disseminating these so-called fact-based, you know, science-based assessments, which we learned

00:41:47.860 during COVID and other eras that that's just whatever the UN wants it to be.

00:41:52.380 It isn't actually fact-based or science-based, and then collaborating with social media companies

00:41:57.460 and big tech companies to make sure that the opposite side doesn't get to counter it. 0.89

00:42:03.160 They're very clear about calling for social media companies to ramp up content moderation

00:42:07.440 and make their platforms more secure and all this other stuff.

00:42:12.080 So, really, you could summarize the whole document like this.

00:42:15.940 The whole point of the Global Digital Compact is to get everybody off the internet that the

00:42:24.020 United Nations doesn't like, to silence people who are not going along with it, and to create

00:42:29.020 a vast propaganda network that is going to constantly be pumping out their own form of misinformation

00:42:36.580 and disinformation, all in the name of allegedly getting to the truth, which, of course, is not

00:42:41.400 what they're doing.

00:42:44.220 We just talked to the FCC Commissioner, Brendan Carr, about the sale of the second largest

00:42:53.260 broadcasting group in America and 200 radio stations.

00:42:59.780 It was paid for with foreign money, which is against the FCC regulations.

00:43:04.640 No more than 25% can be from foreign, but Soros wrapped up a bunch of foreign money, and for

00:43:12.400 some reason, they bypassed the law that says that has to go through the Department of Homeland

00:43:18.620 Security and has to have a security check, etc., etc.

00:43:22.740 So, he is going to, as soon as they officially announce it, which could be as early as next week,

00:43:29.000 the sale will go through, we're on some of those stations, you have this happening, the only

00:43:37.840 one that is standing in the way of the global effort to shut voices down, the only one with

00:43:45.140 any real clout is Elon Musk.

00:43:48.460 That's one man against the world.

00:43:51.940 Yeah, and they want to stop him, too.

00:43:55.880 Yeah, I know.

00:43:57.160 This just has empowered all of the countries around the world and empowered them through

00:44:06.020 the United Nations and gave them really kind of a blank check to stop people like Elon Musk

00:44:14.340 with anything that it takes.

00:44:15.820 Did it not?

00:44:17.640 Oh, without a doubt.

00:44:19.060 I mean, that's the whole purpose of the Global Digital Compact that they just passed.

00:44:23.560 We've talked in previous weeks about this new EU ESG system that they're building in

00:44:29.500 the European Union, which is also designed to do similar things.

00:44:34.340 You know, they're trying to close down all the off-ramps.

00:44:38.340 You've said that for a long time.

00:44:40.020 That's what they've been doing, and they're almost finished with the job.

00:44:43.320 They don't want people to have any ability to counter what they're saying in a meaningful

00:44:49.520 way.

00:44:49.960 Yeah, if you want to sit around your kitchen table and talk to your family about things

00:44:55.240 going on in the world, fine.

00:44:56.560 But don't do it in public.

00:44:58.220 Don't do it in a meaningful public way.

00:45:00.140 That's essentially what's going on here.

00:45:02.220 And as information and data and communication has become increasingly more centralized, it's

00:45:10.360 becoming easier and easier to control it and manipulate it.

00:45:13.980 And that is such a huge part of what's going on right now at the United Nations and elsewhere.

00:45:20.100 It's really hard to stop, you know, a thousand newspapers across the country.

00:45:25.880 It's not hard to stop like five social media companies or five big tech companies.

00:45:30.440 It's not that hard to do that or to force them to reform their ways.

00:45:33.700 And that is exactly what's going on here.

00:45:37.000 And it's incredibly disturbing, but that's the plan.

00:45:40.660 And there's a reason why, as I said earlier, that they're doing all of this in the final

00:45:45.520 days, final weeks, you know, before the presidential election.

00:45:49.660 Okay, so I know that we have, I've scheduled an hour with you, but I feel compelled to talk

00:45:59.280 to the audience one-on-one a little bit right after this.

00:46:02.340 So can I get you to come back tomorrow?

00:46:04.300 Because you've talked about the governance of artificial intelligence, but we haven't

00:46:08.340 talked about the global wealth transfer or the embedding the GDP with ESG or any of the

00:46:15.880 other things that are now locked in on the globe.

00:46:19.580 Can I get you to come back same time tomorrow?

00:46:22.720 Of course.

00:46:23.460 Yes, let's do it.

00:46:24.360 Justin, thank you so much.

00:46:25.440 I appreciate it.
