Glenn Beck's new book Dark Future is out today. It's a look at how the world is going to be in 2030, and it's based on a system of social credits. And it's a system that could be very different than the one we have today.
00:03:03.980Jay is just one of the thousands of families of migrants forced into exile by wars, famines, and global warming.
00:03:11.860The couple and their two children are extremely fortunate because this is an open country and a welcoming city.
00:03:19.780After weeks of difficulties out on the street, an NGO provided them with a new identity document and secured it by blockchain registration, which allows them now to receive aid.
00:03:32.500They also found somewhere to stay at the HOMED.
00:03:38.040Scaffolding and stairs were added to a huge windowless wall on which humanitarian organizations hung prefabricated housing units, 3D printing.
00:03:52.540It may be small, but it still beats sleeping out on the street.
00:03:56.720Kay still lives with her family in the slums where she was born.
00:04:00.080On the surrounding wasteland, she can see signs of a new city being built.
00:04:05.080The advertising posters call it a smart city with beautiful images showing a dream life.
00:04:12.560A local counselor came to talk to them about replacing the slums with this sort of modern habitat and even said that some slum population would be housed there.
00:04:25.780In the immediate future, the young woman and her partner are mainly interested in improving their lives and those of their neighbors in their local environment by joining volunteer organizations, NGOs.
00:04:39.760Her partner, not her husband, her partner has just participated in a geo-addressing operation with volunteer organizations.
00:04:51.600Volunteers registered the GPS coordinates of each housing unit of small shops, of the dispensary, of the water fountains, and the collective bins, the nurses, and the neighborhood advisors.
00:05:05.840Now everyone has a map and a small directory with all of these addresses.
00:05:11.800The lucky ones will have direct access with their smartphones, while others still need to ask one of their more fortunate neighbors.
00:05:19.640Last year, she helped organize a collective waste collection project, as rubbish is a major problem here.
00:05:27.320First, volunteers were needed to collect waste using a bicycle and a trailer, and then the neighbors needed to be convinced to take their bags of refuge to the collectors.
00:05:38.740The project became successful when the public authorities, who hadn't organized the waste collection themselves in the first place, paid a subsidy.
00:05:49.480Half to pay the collectors who did the real job, and half to reward the local population with gift vouchers.
00:05:57.320They met three years ago when they were both on the team of volunteers tasked with showing the local population how to use M-PESA, an electronic wallet system for low-income households without bank accounts.
00:06:22.800His view is that up to now, the appointment, this doesn't make any sense, sends her a taxi drone.
00:06:34.560At this point, the service is only used for the type needed to avoid traffic jams.
00:06:39.060M is a community activist who is determined to combat everything he refers to as Big Brother.
00:06:45.000He believes, in the long run, the installation of cameras and sensors in the city, facial recognition software, and all forms of biometric identity,
00:06:54.400also the work of robots who read his emails and social network posts, are a threat to privacy of individuals and to the freedom of social life.
00:07:03.540His view is that services provided, even when they're free, neither compensate nor justify being spied on.
00:07:10.780Well, the N family has always believed in clean forms of transport, and the last time they moved, they compared neighborhoods using their cyclable and walkable note.
00:07:22.640That's an index that measures how convenient walking and cycling is, sometimes referred to as the 15-minute city.
00:07:31.340Oh my gosh, does this sound like a dream?
00:07:33.540We have not been given these citizens names, because we could find almost all of them on any continent, in megacities,
00:07:41.880which have made the transition towards smaller cities to a greater or lesser degree.
00:07:46.960But they could be our children in 2030.
00:07:49.540Their traditions, cultures, religions, sure, are different.
00:07:52.760But these citizens share increasingly globalized lifestyles, those of smart cities.
00:07:59.120Stu, I don't know about you, but that sounds great.
00:08:04.140I mean, I could volunteer to pick up trash if I wanted to.
00:08:09.100And maybe the government would give me a gift certificate, right?
00:13:32.940And you'll be able to see all of our coverage except for the exclusive interview.
00:13:36.860You'll be able to see all of the coverage that you'll need on YouTube.
00:13:42.780And we'll give you more information on that as we go.
00:13:48.560The problem with the media and everyone else, and I think people are waking up to this.
00:13:58.220I think they are waking up all around the world to the problems that have been made by the giant institutions and the politicians, the parties, and these global corporations in league with things like the World Economic Forum.
00:14:18.420And when you have enough evidence that this is a bad idea, you better move quickly if you are those global entities.
00:14:34.820You better get us roped in so there's no way out.
00:15:55.560You can get it wherever books are sold today.
00:15:58.360It is out, and it is extremely important.
00:16:02.660It is the follow-up of The Great Reset, and it will show you the technology that the Great Resetters will use to be able to shape a new society.
00:16:13.260Justin Haskins is my co-author, and he joins me today.
00:16:17.120I want to read something that Yuval Harari has said.
00:16:21.580Now, he is a futurist, and what is he, a sociologist?
00:16:34.300And he's unfortunately right about an awful lot of things, but we're talking about how the algorithms now are going to have to be tweaked by humans to make sure that there isn't some unseen consequence that might hurt gays, blacks, whatever.
00:18:11.680If you were stealing, you were aware of your actions and their consequences on your victim.
00:18:16.760But theft today could entail investing, even unwittingly, in a very profitable but unethical corporation that damages the environment and employs an army of lawyers and lobbyists to protect itself from law suits and regulations.
00:18:32.720Am I stealing a river, asked Mr. Harari.
00:18:37.940Even if I'm aware, I don't know how the corporation makes its money.
00:18:41.840It'll take me months or even years to find out what my money is doing.
00:18:45.540And during that time, I'll be guilty of so many crimes to which I would know nothing about.
00:18:52.340The problem is, understanding the extremely complicated chains of cause and effect,
00:18:58.320my fear is that homo sapiens are just not up to it.
00:19:02.720We've created such a complicated world that we're no longer able to make sense of what is happening.
00:19:51.900I mean, if you think about discrimination historically, the reason why you have discrimination is because it's really hard to stop the people when you're in charge of everything.
00:20:03.440It's really hard to stop the people you don't like from doing the things that you don't want them to do.
00:20:07.520So what you do is you make generalizations.
00:20:09.660You say, well, generally speaking, you know, the problem is the Jews.
00:20:14.520Like, that's what that's what they did in Nazi Germany.
00:20:28.200So because they didn't know every single thought about every single person, they didn't know every single decision that everyone is making.
00:20:36.080They have to make generalizations and then persecute whole groups of people.
00:20:41.880But now they can know every single thing about every single person.
00:20:46.200They can they are collecting all of this data and building machines specifically for the purpose of processing that data so that they can know you better than you know yourself.
00:20:56.740Another Yuval Harari quote we talk about in the book.
00:20:59.840He says this, quote, new technologies could hijack democracy and even our sense of self.
00:21:08.280Technology will be a new tool for discrimination, not against groups, but individuals.
00:21:14.460So if you are out of I mean, if you are you, if you're listening to this program, if the if this falls into the hands of the the people who already it's in the hands of and it remains there, you are the target.
00:21:32.460And if you happen to be on the other side of the argument, I just want you to know technology doesn't in revolutions don't usually end the way you think it does.
00:21:43.140It usually ends with somebody else in charge, not you.
00:21:47.200This could be used as a weapon against you.
00:21:50.020And you are already committing all kinds of crimes if you look at climate crimes just on how you're investing.
00:22:04.020They've already made that determination.
00:22:05.440And when they give you a school, the whole purpose of an ESG score is so that you know how guilty you are so that you can correct your behavior.
00:22:12.400And if you don't correct your behavior, then they're going to punish you or they'll reward you if you do correct your behavior.
00:22:20.080And a lot of people, I think, believe, well, I I'm not going to allow this to happen to me.
00:22:25.580I'm not I'm you know, I have some technology in my life, but for the most part, I'm not going full bore and all these things.
00:22:31.740What you have to understand is that the amount of data that is being collected on you, just the average, regular, everyday person already is enough for them to know virtually anything they want to know about you.
00:22:45.560Just with a Facebook profile, they can do that.
00:22:48.600They've actually done studies where they've shown that just with just Facebook's data alone, they know almost everything about you.
00:23:40.820I don't know what you're talking about.
00:23:42.280But after after September 11th, do you remember that that group that came in and was doing work with the Department of Homeland Security and they showed us technology?
00:23:53.500They showed us technology to where they could target individuals and say, OK, this individual is a suspect, a terrorist suspect, and they could zero in on his home.
00:24:11.460We could know whether he was home just by his water usage.
00:24:15.420We knew everything about his friend network because of any data cell in his phones or anybody he called or reached out to.
00:24:26.520So we could then if he decided to leave, we'd know immediately he hasn't been in the house in 24 hours.
00:27:05.420Right. And this is, you know, you mentioned the stuff that happened after September 11th and some of the surveillance state stuff growing in the United States.
00:27:13.760Now, concerning all of that is, and that is, that was very concerning.
00:27:17.860The problem that we have now is that you still, you have the government increasing surveillance in all sorts of different ways, including with smart cities and other things.
00:27:27.200Not even investigating criminals necessarily, just in general, surveilling people.
00:27:32.100And then on top of it, you have a whole class, basically everybody in America almost, has voluntarily given all of their information and privacy over to five big tech companies, something like that.
00:28:01.380And they, if you include the government as a company, and they all are working together.
00:28:04.960They're all working together to, and once they realized that they could do this and systematize it with ESG, they realized that they could control anything that they wanted in society.
00:28:16.960And I think they were banking on the fact that no one would figure it out until it was too late.
00:28:22.160And because they screwed up with the Great Reset using a crazy slogan that tipped us off to it, honestly.
00:28:28.960And then after that, once we discovered what ESG really was, we've now moved into a new era of being able to push back against it.
00:28:37.360But they had been building that infrastructure for decades, and nobody even realized that it was going on.
00:28:41.980And you know what's crazy is the way the government got people to do this, you know, because the tech people, they were all libertarians.
00:28:50.840They were all libertarians 20 years ago.
00:28:53.200And they were like, I hate the government just as much as you do, blah, blah, blah.
00:28:56.700But the way they got it to get them in is through global warming.
00:29:02.560They were also global warming fanatics.
00:29:05.660And when the government said, we'll do ESG through the banks, we'll do it through all of our powers, but we need your help to do it and enforce it.
00:29:15.580They were all more than willing to jump in because it was good for the planet.
00:29:18.920And I hope that they see now what they're actually in for.
00:29:23.420This has nothing to do with global warming and has everything to do with control.
00:29:29.260Dark Future is the name of the book, and it is out today wherever books are sold.
00:31:16.640First of all, thank you for having me on your show, Glenn.
00:31:20.160Today News Africa focuses on U.S.-Africa relations.
00:31:23.880So we don't actually pretend to cover every single thing that happens in Africa.
00:31:29.180And we don't pretend to cover every single thing that happens in the U.S.
00:31:32.720We focus on the intersection between the U.S. and Africa.
00:31:36.220Just to give you an example, last December, President Biden received, hosted 50 African leaders in Washington, D.C.
00:31:43.940Those are some of the things that we focus on.
00:31:46.720Now, the first lady going to Africa, the vice president going to Africa, or every tie and interaction that has to do between, that has to do with Africa and the U.S.
00:32:10.680I know the guy from the Washington Post was asking me what's the question.
00:32:15.620And, you know, my office actually told him the same thing.
00:32:19.760When you are silenced for nine months, you don't have just one question.
00:32:24.960It means when President Biden is hosting African leaders, you have a series of questions on everything.
00:32:31.780National security, you know, right now, you know, for instance, that the president of Kenya is asking African to drop, to dump the U.S. dollars when it comes to trading between, you know, within Africa.
00:32:46.980And you want to know what the U.S. reaction is.
00:33:27.560Question change with event and with what is going on.
00:33:32.220So, the other question that I would have, if I were you, is, and let me just ask it of you, is Africa being exposed to food shortages because of the war with Russia and Ukraine?
00:33:49.540So, it's not, it's not just because of the war with Russia and Ukraine.
00:33:56.620If you go to the Horn of Africa, you know, for the past three years, they've been having a severe drought there.
00:34:03.420Hundreds of thousands of people are starving, not because of the war between Russia and Ukraine, but because of drought today.
00:34:12.100And also, the fact that people don't have the basic things that they need to farm.
00:34:19.040And so, the war in Ukraine represents, to my estimation, maybe just 2% of the hunger in Africa.
00:34:27.420So, you tweeted something out last January that said,
00:34:32.340I've been attacked by pirates on the Gulf of Guinea with an AK-47 to my head, kidnapped in Nigeria, dumped into the woods and left for dead,
00:34:41.040arrested in Cameroon during investigation, and kept in a dark cell, now only to be sidelined at the White House.
00:34:48.840I mean, that sounds like kind of a, I mean, where all of the problems, that's probably the best one you've had.
00:36:52.940And, you know, it, I think it happens all the time.
00:36:57.100The fact that people have to send questions in advance to the press secretary, even when President Biden is briefing, you know, the scandal a few months ago, a few weeks ago, where a journalist from the LA Times had to send questions and President Biden had her picture, the question she was going to ask and where she was even seated.
00:37:19.040And so it's scandalous to have people who are supposed to hold the state accountable, crushing the little guy in the briefing room to save the state, to protect the state.
00:37:31.520And the Washington Post did, you know, a really sad job.
00:37:36.780And they sent me really foolish questions, asking me if I was seeking attention and if I want to be on TV and why is it important for them to call on me.
00:37:46.320And the guy who sent those questions is, you know, he was really sad to see.
00:37:52.900I could see it all over the face that he was trying to do a heat job on me.
00:37:56.700And I've been shocked that people have allowed themselves to become tools of the state instead of holding those in power accountable.
00:38:09.120Simon, did they try to take away your White House credentials?
00:38:14.180So on July 31st, if you read New York Post, Washington Post and different publications, they decided to change the rules of the to acquire a hard pass.
00:38:26.700And so on July 31st, my hard pass will expire.
00:38:30.480And one of the rules that they added is you need to be credentialed by the Senate gallery, press gallery.
00:38:40.520And somehow it's been more than a month now.
00:38:45.820I've been waiting on them to approve my application, but they've not done that.
00:38:51.840And without that, I wouldn't be able to renew my hard pass in the White House.
00:38:57.360So I wouldn't have access to the press briefing.
00:40:05.460I don't know if there is some coordination.
00:40:08.540And, you know, all they are trying to do is just to make sure we do our job, ask key questions, and focus on U.S.-Africa relations as China and Russia expand their influence.
00:40:20.240They should actually be assisting us and encouraging us instead of trying to sideline us and sideline us in particular.
00:40:27.320Simon, I have to ask you, just because I asked this of anybody that's in and around the White House, was that your cocaine that they found?
