00:03:10.100 let's get to work you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program i gotta tell you i think

00:03:25.440 today is very consequential i i don't know how it's all going to work out i hope that it works out in

00:03:30.380 our favor but i've never heard a president speak to the world like this um and he means it and he

00:03:36.260 knows he is carrying a very very large stick he knows it and you know there are parts of the speech

00:03:44.540 that he was the typical donald trump you know and i'm the greatest and you all know it um which always

00:03:50.680 makes me a little uncomfortable i wish you were a little more humble but that's donald trump um but

00:03:55.840 he did say over and over and over again probably six times how much he loved and respected europe how

00:04:02.020 he is his family is from germany and scotland um and how important they are um and how much he you

00:04:09.220 know the history between us and how much western culture means however western culture is dying in

00:04:15.180 europe because you refuse to stand up for it um when he got into greenland he really started to um

00:04:22.360 you know he started really you know he said europe has turned their backs on things that have made us

00:04:30.200 strong he took on canada in a way i have never heard before he talked about uh how you know greenland

00:04:39.540 is important because we're going to use it to defend not just not just the united states but also

00:04:45.780 canada and europe and he said uh you know the canadian prime minister spoke yesterday and i didn't think

00:04:52.060 he did very well and then he said he's probably in here mark i wouldn't speak that way again or

00:04:58.200 something like that and it it was shocking the way he didn't he didn't even show him the deference of

00:05:03.640 being prime minister it was mark you should watch your words um he is not fooling around and he is

00:05:12.460 declaring an end to this new world order this globalist kind of thing uh that the world has been

00:05:20.040 building uh been building he did like i said a minute ago he said i will not use force on greenland

00:05:27.600 uh i don't want to use it and i won't use force which i think is uh significant so let's start with

00:05:40.280 greenland jason i just heard you talking on the insider broadcast by the way the insider it is still free

00:05:45.980 this week next week it'll start going into you'll have to subscribe to get it uh but if you go to

00:05:51.740 glennbeck.com you get the insider when the radio show goes into commercial breaks jason joins us uh

00:05:58.120 from behind the scenes and he is he's he's giving more information on what we're talking about and

00:06:04.500 deeper analysis uh and we work together a couple of hours before the show so we are in sync and he gives

00:06:11.300 all the information i just don't have time to give but you gave a great stat a minute ago about how

00:06:16.340 greenland pledged during the trump first term he went to europe and said nato allies you need to

00:06:24.760 pony up for your own defense we are paying for all of it and we're done paying for all of it and he went

00:06:30.140 to greenland and he said it's time for you to step to the plate and they pledged to pay which is a lot

00:06:35.920 for greenland 200 million dollars in their own defense uh and so he accepted that jason tell me

00:06:44.260 what happened as soon as trump left office how much did they pay of that 200 million dollars

00:06:49.160 hey glenn so yeah this was a big part of their negotiations with and at that time they were

00:06:53.940 trying to get nato to allocate more money everyone and it was largely being successful what trump was

00:06:59.080 going to do but denmark they allocated 224 million dollars they said we agree with you we're going to

00:07:05.280 be expanding airspace surveillance that's great uh reconnaissance awesome uh arctic defense measures

00:07:11.380 i mean it was it sounded really really good well what they ended up doing after trump left office

00:07:17.440 was they only allocated one percent of that entire 224 million and that must and most of that money that

00:07:26.560 they set aside for defense went to social programs that's when that's been their biggest achilles

00:07:32.640 heal every time they always go off and they you know they fund the welfare state every single time

00:07:38.540 that's what they did they do not treat security seriously so what trump is doing right now and it's

00:07:44.480 all across the board on a lot of these measures is i think the best way i'm i can describe this is

00:07:50.140 tough love we're seeing a eulogy and a funeral right now at the wef which actually is amazing to see

00:07:56.120 but you have and trump just said you know daddy trump he's providing the tough love this is after the son

00:08:02.740 lost his basketball game and instead of the dad saying you you can you'll get him next time you'll

00:08:08.080 be fine no he's saying get your butt into the gym work out and practice your jump shot that's what he's

00:08:14.920 saying um ricky and stew like you to join in most significant takeaways that you heard from the

00:08:23.180 president's speech today i liked his rebuke of carney and for those viewers and listeners who

00:08:29.180 don't have context we do have two cuts from yesterday so they understand why trump was so

00:08:34.440 heated about prime minister uh carney from canada let's let's play those two cuts here's what carney

00:08:40.840 said yesterday in his speech to the wef we understand that this rupture calls for more than adaptation

00:08:47.580 it calls for honesty about the world as it is we are taking the sign out of the window we know the old

00:08:55.380 order is not coming back we shouldn't mourn it nostalgia is not a strategy but we believe that

00:09:03.640 from the fracture we can build something bigger better stronger more just this is the task of the

00:09:10.680 middle powers the countries that have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and a most to gain

00:09:17.200 from genuine cooperation the powerful have their power we have something to the capacity to stop i want

00:09:27.500 you to listen i want you to hear what he just said he just said the old order is not coming back

00:09:33.940 that is 100 accurate now what order is he talking about the order of breton woods the order of the

00:09:42.920 petrodollar the the order that the united states set up uh back in 1945 it's it's over it doesn't work

00:09:51.900 trump he is saying exactly the same thing that trump is saying however carney is saying we need to

00:10:01.180 that's why we need to band together and have a new world order this this great reset kind of order

00:10:08.820 we'll have a new world order where uh the elites all get together from all over the world and they make

00:10:16.640 the decisions trump the beginning of his speech he was talking and addressing that very thing that

00:10:23.160 hasn't worked more bureaucracy will not fix it more globalization more melding of our countries

00:10:32.000 together will not fix this that is not the way to go that is more of what was built in 1945

00:10:39.480 that is not working it's time to end all of that here's cut two from carney for decades countries like

00:10:47.600 canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order we joined its

00:10:52.480 institutions we praised its principles we benefited from its predictability and because of that we

00:10:58.880 could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection we knew the story of the international

00:11:05.540 rules-based order was partially false that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient

00:11:11.440 that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically and we knew that international law applied with varying

00:11:19.920 rigor depending on the identity of the accused or the victim can we stop here for a pause just for a

00:11:26.820 second that is amazing that he is saying that because he is describing exactly the order that they are

00:11:33.240 trying to impose on people that if you're an elite you get away with it but if you're a little guy or

00:11:39.360 you're on the wrong side you don't get away with it you pay a very heavy penalty he's saying that he's

00:11:45.780 implying here that the united states uh was the one that won every single time in little countries like

00:11:51.800 canada did not win i would suggest um mr prime minister you won a bucket load you won a bucket load

00:12:03.100 canada and i don't want i do not want to canada bash i love canada i love canadians i don't want to

00:12:09.240 have a problem with canadians but let's please just admit the truth the united states has foot the

00:12:16.800 bill for your security you have all benefited from the united states being as strong as it was

00:12:23.860 meanwhile every one of you hollowed us out we allowed you to do it but we got into the world trade

00:12:32.700 organization we did all these things and said you know what we're gonna we're gonna spread the wealth

00:12:37.940 sum and you all benefited from that most importantly you benefited benefited from the shield of the

00:12:46.340 united states military you want to know what the world is like without the united states i think

00:12:53.900 donald trump should say no more protection for anyone but the united states and the american people

00:13:00.080 would cheer we're not footing the bill for a single war not a single tank not a single airplane

00:13:06.560 nothing you get nothing from the united states in defense that is almost exactly what he said in

00:13:13.040 much shorter form what he's saying his quote was uh canada lives because of the u.s remember that mark

00:13:20.220 the next time you make your statements and that's really direct and clear and i've have you ever heard

00:13:28.360 stew have you ever heard a president united states speak like that no but i you know how common is this

00:13:34.420 glenn i've been doing this for a long time how common is it when we just we we cover another nation

00:13:39.660 who has received all sorts of bounty and gifts and protection and favors and all sorts of things from

00:13:46.980 the united states come up and do their speech in front of the u.n in front of davos whatever it is

00:13:53.780 and bash us over and over and over and over again it feels good to have a president that stands up

00:13:59.020 and says no you're not doing that anymore if you want anything from us good and they really should

00:14:04.640 be a little more careful with the way that they treat us i you know there's you could argue with

00:14:09.360 some of the stuff that that trump does and whether he should be treating allies in certain ways you

00:14:13.420 know all those conversations can be valid at times but like we never hold these people to those

00:14:19.140 standards they're constantly trashing us they're constantly telling us we're involved in genocides

00:14:24.500 around the world i'm sick of it i'm done with it glenn do you think that carney has found this

00:14:29.380 newfound confidence and boldness and bravado because of this strategic alliance he's trying to

00:14:35.500 build with china uh no i think he believes in the new world order he believes in the power of the banking

00:14:43.940 community you know he believes in he believes in the wef he also believes that china you know is

00:14:51.540 is a great uh you know is a great ally for china at least to threaten with but china will eat you

00:14:58.680 canada china will eat you good luck with that um the only thing that i have seen that would make

00:15:05.460 sense i i hesitate to even say it but no world leader is listening to me so um but the only thing

00:15:11.800 that you could actually threaten the united states with and make a difference is if if europe started to

00:15:17.360 say we're going to sell all of our u.s treasuries we don't believe in u.s treasuries

00:15:21.380 you start selling our treasuries that's the only power you have to hold over our head and denmark

00:15:29.060 just said they were going to start doing that we don't believe in u.s treasuries anymore we're

00:15:32.900 thinking about liquidating all of our treasuries now whether they do or not is another thing because

00:15:37.760 that will only hurt your own people you you it's it's the only investment you can make what are you

00:15:43.220 going to invest in where are you going to put your money you're going to put it in the united states

00:15:47.400 in the united states stock market are you going to pull it all out and put it someplace else you're

00:15:51.240 not going to do that i mean you will only hurt your own people but that is the only threat

00:15:56.040 that could possibly um come up against the united states so i think carney is is wildly mistaken

00:16:03.960 you know you've got to remember how donald trump negotiates donald trump negotiates he first

00:16:10.920 says it nicely and he's like hey let's work together on this i'd like to do this what do you think about

00:16:17.680 this how can we make a deal for both of us here that's good on this once you say no if he is

00:16:25.240 determined to get it done then he starts upping the ante then he starts saying you know what well you

00:16:30.740 don't do that i'm going to do this and he makes promises he never makes threats he makes promises

00:16:37.680 i am going to do this if you don't do the venezuela maduro leave or we'll come and get you

00:16:46.740 iran knock it off or we will put your power plants your nuclear power plants out of business and knock

00:16:55.180 you back into the stone age in that department he says what he means and means what he says and he

00:17:01.680 starts making promises not threats so when when president trump uh is all he's asking for here

00:17:11.820 and you may not like the way he's asking for it but it's high time that somebody in america has

00:17:17.240 stood up for us in america um when he says look we are only asking for something that is good for

00:17:27.060 your security good for my security uh you know the united states security you and canada's security

00:17:34.120 we have not asked you for anything since 1945 and you guys have been living off of us and living on

00:17:44.380 our teat since 1945 all of these things the united states agreed to and developed and made the world

00:17:53.420 stable so you could rebuild europe will you rebuild europe you know 20 years after the war and you've

00:18:01.360 been sucking us dry ever since we're asking for one thing give it to us or we will remember it's

00:18:09.380 it is the toughest love i have ever seen but i would put my money on donald trump

00:18:15.940 this is the best of the glenbeck program

00:18:20.820 so let me start uh let me start here the president just spoke he made some really big news he is still

00:18:30.000 on stage he's fielding questions now and some of them are about greenland most of them are about

00:18:34.800 greenland and and and war um he just said that he felt that the world was in a very precarious

00:18:41.460 situation because all the miscalculations that were done by the previous administration he said on

00:18:45.900 i think if kamala harris would have been elected we might be in world war three right now um he said

00:18:52.100 but it is our duty to avoid war at all costs we don't want war he's been talking about ending war

00:18:57.500 uh a lot today um but he also is talking about negotiating now for greenland um and he's being

00:19:05.600 very very tough on it but he is he made the announcement today i will not use force to take

00:19:12.440 greenland but he was also very clear you have the opportunity europe to say yes we're going to work

00:19:20.600 with america or you have the choice to say no we won't and if that's your choice we will remember

00:19:27.760 um really really strong language uh but he is couching it all as national and international

00:19:35.840 national security imperatives so this is all happening up in this little swiss town in the

00:19:41.360 swiss alps called davos and um you know this was a place that if you had tuberculosis years ago you

00:19:47.940 would go to because it was really clean air up in the mountains and so you know it would it would

00:19:52.660 clean out your lungs and your soul and and it was cold and inconvenient uh and it was neutral on

00:19:58.900 those all things uh and that mattered um in 1971 an economics professor named claus vlob uh decided

00:20:08.300 you know i'm going to invite some people up uh to davos for a meeting and it wasn't a summit it wasn't

00:20:12.960 a conclave at the time it's just a meeting of of of minds that he respected he believed in something

00:20:20.440 radical at the time that corporations had obligations not just to shareholders but to society and he came up

00:20:28.140 with something called stakeholder capitalism it completely reversed the idea of capitalism and

00:20:34.200 how it worked um and so he invited european business leaders to come up and talk no heads of

00:20:39.960 state no grand ideology at this point just managers comparing notes notes on how to survive changing

00:20:45.580 worlds now this is in 1971 what happens in 1971 the world goes to hell in a handbasket all of a sudden

00:20:52.420 we have the energy crisis um we get off the gold standard everything everything changes oil shocks

00:21:00.820 inflation and it's a slow collapse of the post world war ii world order and so all of a sudden he thinks

00:21:11.120 oh you know we're even more important because governments don't understand the markets and markets don't trust

00:21:16.580 government so he thought you know what i think we start bringing everybody together and we can really

00:21:21.720 change the world now i'm saying this as a story form but i want you to know i'm not neutral on this i

00:21:27.020 think klaus schwab is absolute born and bred evil i think what he believes is evil i believe what he

00:21:34.180 created was evil i believe what's happening in davos is evil but i'm just telling you the story of how it

00:21:40.440 happened so by the 1980s schwab starts to invite all of these politicians um not to speak to any voter

00:21:49.140 but to speak off the record and then the bankers came and then the central planners came and then

00:21:54.180 the media figures came and they offered something really unique no elections no parliaments no

00:22:01.080 transcripts and no voters by 1987 they rename it the world economic forum and the word the use of the word

00:22:11.420 world at that time world economic forum what was not aspirational it was declarative this is now

00:22:19.020 the world economic forum okay and the turning point came as soon as the berlin wall fell

00:22:25.200 1989 berlin wall falls 1991 soviet union collapses and suddenly the world is up for redesign we the

00:22:34.000 useless stupid slugs of the world like me we thought we won capitalism won now the planners and the central

00:22:43.460 planners that were meeting up in davos they saw this and they thought haha we can change the world and

00:22:51.340 move into a completely new system and global trade works were framed out in davos before you ever heard

00:22:58.380 about years before you ever heard about them okay it was davos that greece and turkey avoided war in 1988

00:23:05.980 through back channel talks it was davos that south africa's apartheid era leaders engaged future leaders

00:23:13.320 and they were real successes and everybody was like wow that's great but that success taught uh the world

00:23:19.860 a very dangerous uh lesson decisions are a lot easier to make when voters are nowhere near the room

00:23:28.200 so by the 1990s davos is starting to become what it is it's no longer a conference it's a shadow anti-chamber

00:23:37.960 of governments and they're starting to groom new government leaders okay

00:23:42.920 davos stopped explaining and started deciding in the early 2000s davos had a predictable cast they had the heads

00:23:55.220 of states the central bankers the tech ceos the ngo leaders the intelligent linked advisors the media

00:24:03.080 executives they had them all coming in and they all arrived by private jet first to talk about climate

00:24:09.920 policy which is just hysterical then financial regulation pandemic preparedness just two years before

00:24:18.080 the pandemic digital identity and energy rationing and everything was how do we how do we move from the

00:24:27.740 capitalist american style uh governance where it was a sovereign state into a new world order uh a global

00:24:37.220 system where you the voter really aren't participating and the conversation begins to change in the early

00:24:45.000 2000s on not not should we but how do we how do we implement this how do we get this done not what do

00:24:54.120 the voters want but how do we manage the public acceptance how do we make sure they just go along

00:25:00.320 with this and that's when critics began to notice something very very chilling the policies that were

00:25:06.820 announced as national decisions were first panel discussions in davos same phrases same frameworks

00:25:16.100 same talking points for instance i'm trying to remember the um the uh build back better was used by

00:25:24.400 seven different prime ministers and presidents in their election in 2020 i mean it it that all came from

00:25:31.040 panel discussions that wasn't that was not homegrown that was a globalist panel discussion okay so

00:25:39.600 we're sitting here now looking at what it is today there are 3 000 people in attendance today

00:25:49.120 there are 130 countries represented there are 400 leaders presidents prime ministers kings ministers regulators

00:25:58.780 they represent 40 percent of the earth's population the 3 000 people that were listening to donald trump

00:26:07.180 today in that room represent 40 percent of the global population 65 heads of state and 850 top ceos

00:26:17.460 so you know it's not cheap to get in to the wef it is 75 000 um to get in this is this is the posted

00:26:28.620 cost they say it's an average of about 45 000 but the posted cost is 75 000 and if you want a real seat

00:26:35.420 at the table the price is 758 000 okay so you just put in three quarters of a million dollars and you can

00:26:44.140 you know sit somewhere near to these leaders and here's what it has become let me give you the pipeline uh

00:26:51.420 here of of davos because this is what this is why davos matters you know everybody makes fun of davos

00:27:01.420 if they know what it is and they're like oh it's conspiracy well it's not a conspiracy it's all right

00:27:07.740 there in the right in front of you okay so let me tell you what the pipeline is the pipeline starts with

00:27:15.180 everybody gathering getting off their plane gathering at these these meetings in davos where they discuss

00:27:21.100 everything and they they're like a little hive mind and then they share that with the think tanks and the

00:27:26.700 ngos that then also is shared with the government agencies all around the world they don't pass the

00:27:34.620 laws they've already made the agreement globally so now all they have to do is get it from the agencies

00:27:41.180 and the ngos to the regulators and then the regulators write all of the regulations and then

00:27:47.820 it's your life you didn't even know this was coming you had no idea you didn't have a vote in it you had

00:27:53.820 nothing it started in davos think tanks ngos agencies regulations right to your life and now

00:28:03.580 they control your life okay through the agency rules tell me who'd you vote for that's running

00:28:11.660 the epa who did you vote for that is running the uh labor department who did you vote who when you

00:28:21.180 have a problem with the uh i don't even know with the irs who do you know that you can vote out to make

00:28:32.220 sure that that changes you know that's right there with the irs that are operating on regulations that the

00:28:39.740 agency itself wrote how do you change those you don't you don't so you now have the higher energy

00:28:51.980 costs that all comes from davos because they were the ones who uh said these higher energy costs have

00:28:59.980 to do it because of global commitments we have to stop using uh energy and go into green energy

00:29:07.020 the banking rules that are all written by esg store scores which involve dei all of that stuff came

00:29:14.540 from davos if you're a small business you're buried under compliance that also comes from davos any speech

00:29:23.100 that is labeled misinformation and you don't get a chance to fight it that also comes from davos

00:29:31.740 your higher energy costs your higher food costs your higher housing costs you're told that it's

00:29:37.020 necessary why because of the regulations and all of the things they planned in davos and when you

00:29:44.060 object they say sorry it's it's global i mean you can't do anything about it

00:29:48.380 it but there is something you can do about it and it's called consent

00:29:57.660 consent from the people when elected officials attend private forums like they do in davos that are

00:30:05.180 funded by you funded by you to coordinate policies globally before you have ever even heard of them

00:30:16.220 that's not leadership that's management and that is exactly what donald trump is is now taking apart

00:30:23.100 in his speech um he is he was very very clear the world of management instead of listening to the

00:30:31.100 voters instead of responding to your own people in your own country you're responding to these this room

00:30:37.820 of clowns and you're making the decisions you're managing people but manages managed societies don't

00:30:45.500 remain free at least not for long that's what davos is that's why this makes why it is so very

00:30:55.740 important that you pay attention and why i mean i just watched the president's speech i think it is

00:31:02.380 the most powerful speech most important and impactful international speech given by a president at least since

00:31:10.620 ronald reagan said the evil empire speech and mr gorbachev tear down this wall he changed the world

00:31:17.740 order today you're listening to the best of glenn beck need a little more check out the full show

00:31:23.580 podcasts anywhere you download podcasts i'm so excited for this next segment with our next guest jared

00:31:29.740 isaacman um he has uh he is now the head of nasa he was if you remember he was nominated to be the head

00:31:36.460 of nasa um and then for some reason or another that was rescinded and they went a different direction

00:31:43.500 um and i had him on a podcast i don't even know a few months back and uh he's just fascinating i'm

00:31:50.220 talking to him like you've got to be the head of the nasa of nasa and lo and behold trump decides we're

00:31:56.060 gonna we're gonna re-nominate you and so he is now the head of nasa and uh if you have never seen

00:32:02.940 a nasa launch i was there for one of the last or if not the last space shuttle launch um and i brought

00:32:10.060 my kids they were too young to remember now but uh it is a wonder of the world and artemis 2 is going

00:32:17.020 up here in about a month i think um and i mean i've got to tell you i will be one of those even if i

00:32:23.260 have to pull off to the side of the highway i am going to watch this because we are going back to

00:32:28.220 the moon this will be the first time that we have gone and sent people to circle the moon

00:32:32.300 um one one last time before we actually land on the moon again um but jared is with us now hello

00:32:38.780 jared how are you hello sir thanks for having me back you bet it's great great to talk to you

00:32:44.940 congratulations first of all on your appointment and uh and i'm expecting huge things from you because

00:32:49.340 you are i mean finally an entrepreneur in charge of uh of nasa um can we start with what happened with

00:32:57.020 uh crew 11 the space station for the first time in in history of 25 years of the uh of uh of the

00:33:05.500 space program uh and of you know our labs up in space we had to bring and we had to bring the

00:33:11.660 astronauts or the crew back because of a health related issue can you tell us what happened and is the

00:33:16.300 astronaut okay sure i i do want to just start by saying since i heard your intro uh you don't

00:33:23.100 have to camp out on the side of the road for the artemis 2 launch i'll certainly make sure you we've

00:33:27.100 got a seat reserved for you especially since i know how much of a a fan you are of america's space

00:33:33.180 program and all of the great history you collect at your studio that i was lucky enough to see when i

00:33:38.140 visited so yeah you can you can guarantee we'll have a spot for you and uh as far as crew as far

00:33:44.860 and it's what an exciting mission right i'm sure we'll talk about it but uh as far as crew 11 um

00:33:50.140 you know one of the the greatest accomplishments uh that we've done at the international space station

00:33:56.060 is the continuous human presence in space over a quarter of a century right and that we're keeping

00:34:02.060 our astronauts alive in an environment that is incredibly uh harsh on their body um microgravity

00:34:08.460 does a lot of things to you from um your vestibular system cardiovascular system bone density laws

00:34:14.620 it's a it's a radiation environment right but we're there to learn um and we expect that there will be

00:34:21.900 circumstances uh that will appear this is why we we do extensive training our our astronauts are are

00:34:28.860 they're practically physicians in fact many of them are um we put them through extensive medical

00:34:33.740 training we put uh medical kits in all our spaceships the international space station itself is like a

00:34:39.500 almost an urgent care center because they use a lot of those tools for for science and research

00:34:44.780 and then we drill we train for the the day that there is going to be um you know an uh an unexpected

00:34:51.260 health-related incident and it happened and everyone did an extraordinary job uh the the crew 11 uh

00:34:58.540 astronauts there are other expedition mates on the international space stations the flight

00:35:02.940 surgeons in mission control they all responded accordingly uh the the uh the incident was

00:35:08.860 stabilized very quickly um and then we evaluated so unfortunately due to the you know the the you

00:35:16.300 know medical privacy um rules i can't tell you exactly what it was other than clearly it was a very

00:35:22.460 serious situation um you know something we had not seen before uh in space but had uh accounted for

00:35:30.060 the possibility and that is why uh you know we put in motion the option to bring our astronauts home

00:35:37.340 uh early which i think really speaks to american leadership in space we we can send uh we can send our

00:35:43.740 astronauts up um you know more or less on command which is what we're going to do with crew 12 is pull

00:35:49.580 their mission forward and we can bring our astronauts home as required and this is very

00:35:53.820 important to president trump and and obviously his position on american uh supremacy in space

00:35:59.740 so um you know it's bizarre jared because it was it was not like that under biden i mean how long did

00:36:05.420 we wait to pull those astronauts back uh last time and and you pulled this off quickly and when does

00:36:10.780 when does crew 12 go up when are you going to launch them up well we're evaluating that timeline now

00:36:16.620 because we're also preparing for the artemis 2 mission which is the one you mentioned in your

00:36:20.940 opening comments where we're going to send our astronauts farther into space than we've ever sent

00:36:24.780 humans before past the moon back around the moon and safely back to earth so so there's some overlap

00:36:30.220 in timelines now so we're evaluating both which is a great problem to have by the way i i love the

00:36:35.740 idea that we are trying to de-conflict multiple you know uh historic spaceflight missions um but i do

00:36:42.140 want to just give a compliment again the crew 11 made it easy for us to bring them home early they

00:36:47.340 had completed all their mission objectives um you know almost ahead of schedule they were due to come

00:36:52.060 home in a matter of weeks anyway they made it easy on us to bring them home early and then to your

00:36:56.540 point we're preparing crew 12 ahead of schedule and we're preparing uh our artemis 2 mission okay now

00:37:03.980 artemis 2 can you explain for people who don't know what this is why what is artemis 2 how big is the

00:37:10.620 rocket um why are we going around the moon why is this the first time we've done this since the 1970s

00:37:18.140 why are we going to the moon again okay so these are all great questions so first there is a big

00:37:24.460 difference between the missions that um you know uh we've all been watching take place over the last

00:37:30.220 call it you know five years you know you see a uh a spacex falcon 9 and dragon send four astronauts

00:37:36.140 the international space station almost every six months they do it so often that it looks you know

00:37:41.820 it looks easy and it looks routine it's still extremely hard you know that you're taking a

00:37:47.100 falcon 9 rocket about 1.8 million pounds of thrust in a controlled explosion and accelerating those four

00:37:53.420 astronauts to 17 500 miles an hour and you're sending them to the international space station that's

00:37:59.740 hard you want to know what's harder is 8.8 million pounds of thrust accelerating four astronauts to

00:38:06.940 nearly 25 000 miles per hour because now you have to get to near earth escape velocity right which is

00:38:14.380 what's essential if you're going to send astronauts to the moon or past the moon where you need to exceed

00:38:20.060 earth escape velocity to do missions in the future to mars so that's what we're talking about coming up

00:38:24.700 with artemis 2. this is a whole nother caliber of of rocket uh it's gonna have two solid rocket

00:38:30.860 boosters throwback from the shuttle era even the center core um you know looks like the the shuttle uh

00:38:37.420 main fuel tank it's got uh shuttle main engines on it uh it's liquid oxygen liquid hydrogen and it is

00:38:44.300 it is going to accelerate the uh you know those brave crew uh artemis 2 astronauts uh farther into

00:38:49.900 space than we've ever sent anyone before and this is step one on a journey to put astronauts back on

00:38:55.340 the moon is this bigger or around the same size as the shuttle uh so this will be the most powerful

00:39:04.380 rocket uh that humans have ever uh traveled on so it is it is more powerful uh than the shuttle

00:39:11.180 it is going to be able to accelerate it is more powerful than saturn five wow i can't wait i can't

00:39:21.260 wait it is i mean for anybody i hate to be but i was a kid in the 60s and 70s and i gotta tell you

00:39:27.100 this makes me feel like a kid it is a wonder of the world if you've never seen this you will not believe

00:39:34.620 your eyes it is a wonder you just can't imagine man has is able to do it it's it's remarkable um

00:39:43.820 it's so why are we extraordinary it's extraordinary and it's step one i can't emphasize that enough

00:39:50.380 you know president trump with his national space policy he created the artemis program during his

00:39:54.780 first term and he said we're not just going back to the moon to plant the flag and pick up rocks he he

00:40:01.500 wants an enduring presence he wants america to return to the moon and have the ability to stay

00:40:06.940 so this might be artemis 2 coming up but our children someday are going to watch artemis 100.

00:40:12.460 i mean this this mission sets up a series of of uh of of launches to and from the moon the construction

00:40:20.540 of a lunar base so we can realize the scientific and economic value of being on the lunar surface so

00:40:26.300 this is a major commitment by the president it's very exciting what are the i mean as an entrepreneur

00:40:35.020 you know we run out of money at some point if we just keep thinking we can print money

00:40:39.740 how does this affect us economically why why is this important to do this how do we get a payoff on

00:40:46.380 this other than look at us we're on the moon it's such a great question so in part we have a we we are

00:40:54.540 fulfilling a promise to the american people for 35 years presidents have called for a return to the

00:40:59.580 moon we've spent over a hundred billion dollars to do it it wasn't until president trump in his first

00:41:04.300 term where he really committed us on that path by creating the artemis program again in the second

00:41:09.740 term recommitting us and establishing the the lunar base so we're delivering on a promise here it's a

00:41:16.300 promise the american people and the pioneers from the 1960s who built the foundation that we stand upon

00:41:22.860 today second we don't know what we're going to find out there that could change things here on earth

00:41:28.540 you know uh on the lunar surface you you could be mining helium-3 um which has the the potential to

00:41:35.340 change uh change things in in energy it's going to be a more efficient uh source of fusion power someday

00:41:42.460 in the future it has applications in quantum computing do we want to come in second place on that

00:41:47.260 because certainly the chinese are setting out to do this the russians want to do this someday

00:41:51.580 so we have an obligation for american leadership in the high ground of space the next stop is the

00:41:56.940 moon which is what we're our our course is on today but the president even through his national

00:42:01.980 space policy committed us to the investments in nuclear power and propulsion to someday achieve

00:42:07.580 american astronauts on mars so to your second point on is this expensive it is but what's different

00:42:13.740 today than it was in the 1960s is it's not all on taxpayers shoulders i mean in the 1960s we went

00:42:19.820 to the moon with nasa's budget at four and a half percent of the discretionary budget right now it's

00:42:24.860 about a quarter of a percentage of that who's making up the difference you've got some fantastic

00:42:29.020 entrepreneurs across commercial space industry elon musk at spacex jeff bezos at blue origin

00:42:34.780 dozens of other companies putting their resources on the line here for a capability for the benefit of

00:42:40.060 the american people and really the world

00:42:44.940 the significance of the united states having a moon base

00:42:50.860 and being the first to have a moon base what does that mean strategically i mean we've been talking

00:42:55.900 about greenland this week and everything else i know that space force was used for the first time

00:43:00.860 with venezuela or at least officially used um in a in a you know in a mission uh like like what we saw in

00:43:08.220 venezuela um what is the significance strategically of a moon base well really it's a it's about what

00:43:15.020 you're trying to accomplish on the lunar surface and and and what you can learn right so if you have a

00:43:21.900 orbiting um base above the moon which which we have in our plans called gateway um that has potentially

00:43:29.420 some benefit from a logistics perspective but but you're not interacting with the regolith you're not

00:43:34.300 constructing infrastructure you're not mining you're not doing you know in situ resource manufacturing

00:43:40.220 which is essential the future mars mission you're not able to develop a lunar economy above the moon

00:43:46.140 but you can develop a lunar economy on the moon so it's it's vitally important um certainly that you

00:43:52.540 know the president united states you know president trump appreciates the strategic uh significance of of

00:43:58.140 uh of certain real estate out there uh no one is better at this than the president united states and and

00:44:04.060 and and some of the the most important real estate that's within our reach where we can again begin

00:44:09.580 to realize scientific and economic value it's on the lunar surface amazing uh it is always great to

00:44:16.460 talk to jared i'm so happy that you are the guy running nasa i mean you are you were born for this

00:44:20.940 moment and uh it's a thrill to know you thank you so much appreciate it i'm grateful for the opportunity

00:44:26.620 thank you you bet you bet um you know i just want to i'm going to leave you with this you know

00:44:30.860 artemis do you know what artemis is it's greek it's ancient greek um and it it is the ancient goddess of

00:44:39.740 the moon the hunt protection and precision and independence and resolve

00:44:50.700 it is the twin sister of apollo as in the apollo program

00:44:58.060 the apollo program it is the apollo program was to prove that it could be done that man could go to

00:45:08.860 the moon artemis is meant to prove we belong there we can live there and we can build there

00:45:17.820 this is historic
