00:00:00.000 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.

00:00:06.880 It takes you to front row views, voices lost in the music, and new shared memories.

00:00:13.900 And when the last song fades,

00:00:16.060 Welcome aboard, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

00:00:17.900 The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines crew is here to ensure your journey home hits all the right notes.

00:00:25.500 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.

00:00:30.000 So much to talk about today on my first day back.

00:00:33.520 We touched on Iran and the Iranian war and what that means.

00:00:38.240 Also, the shooting that happened in San Diego.

00:00:40.680 Nobody understands this.

00:00:42.480 I didn't even it was so buried by the media that I didn't even hear about it while I was on vacation.

00:00:48.640 I come back and I read this story on Glenn Beck dot com by Ryan Morrow, and it completely makes sense and makes sense why the media just buried this story right away.

00:00:58.820 We talk about that. Also, the five mob crime families that we're dealing with on a daily basis. I think it's time to look at politics and what's really happening in our world through a different lens and maybe through the lens of the godfather or reality in New York of the five crime families is the way we should start looking at politics.

00:01:22.120 Also, AGI is here.

00:01:25.540 I'll explain what that means and what you need to know about it all on today's podcast.

00:01:32.040 Never notice how when you're a kid, adults always seem to be sitting down after they stand up.

00:01:37.700 They get out of the car just for a second.

00:01:39.120 They pause for a second.

00:01:40.320 They make that sound when they get off the couch and they walk down the stairs like they're negotiating a peace treaty with their knees.

00:01:46.740 When you're young, you don't really.

00:01:48.500 You're just like, ah, this is the old guy. 0.94

00:01:50.000 you assume that that's what old people do and then one day you stand up and try to get out of a chair

00:01:54.860 and you catch yourself making that sound you're like what's just happened to me relief factor is

00:01:59.420 a daily supplement designed to help support your body's response to inflammation which is often the

00:02:04.120 real issue behind those everyday aches and pains that gradually start turning simple things into

00:03:15.300 And thanks for standing with us.

00:03:16.900 Now let's get to work.

00:03:27.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:31.560 I was on vacation last week, and so I avoided the news, but I would check the news from time to time.

00:03:37.080 I would check what was happening on X, et cetera, et cetera.

00:03:39.700 And this story happened so fast and was gone so fast, I didn't even know about it.

00:03:45.180 it was the san diego mosque shooting that happened so i wanted to bring ryan morrow in because i

00:03:52.640 read the article at glennbeck.com and i'm like okay a i didn't even know that the story happened

00:03:57.280 and b this is the best information i think anybody who's could give on this particular situation

00:04:03.340 so ryan is with us take us through what happened last week and then the analysis of what's really

00:04:10.720 going on, Ryan? Sure. So you had two basically white supremacists, anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim

00:04:18.160 terrorists. I mean, it fits that definition. Shoot up the Islamic Center of San Diego. 0.99

00:04:24.500 Three people were killed. And there's been so much news going on that it kind of faded.

00:04:30.840 But what I was disturbed by, even more so than the shooting, was the reaction by some people,

00:04:36.660 particularly on social media, to it. Some saying, oh, I condemn violence, but I kind of get why it

00:04:43.280 happened, that they don't get my sympathy. And then other people outright justifying it. And

00:04:48.080 that's what prompted me to write the article for you at glenbeck.com. Because what I realized from

00:04:53.920 studying the literature of jihadists, especially ISIS, was that these attackers, without realizing

00:05:00.780 it committed the jihad they claim that they're stopping uh i mean they fulfilled the plan they

00:05:06.900 fulfilled the plan of isis uh this is exactly what they want to happen uh they're no different

00:05:11.840 than the 9-11 hijackers in that regard okay so explain this because you get you you have access

00:05:18.620 to isis magazine who knew they had their own magazine um and most of us don't want to be on

00:05:24.500 that list um but you do because of what you do for a living talk about what you've said in the

00:05:30.340 article for glenbeck.com of what what they are openly saying has to happen sure so what i just

00:05:38.000 said sounds like hyperbole but it's actually very literal um so there's an english language

00:05:42.920 magazine that isis uh at least usa put out and this is going back to like 2014 2015 and in the

00:05:49.800 seventh issue of it for 12 whole pages they go on about their strategy called the extinction

00:05:56.480 of the gray zone. And what they're referring to, destroying the gray zone, is the Muslim 1.00

00:06:03.640 middle ground. They basically say there's the people who are engaged in jihad, they're on our 0.98

00:06:08.160 side. They're either part of ISIS or they're at least part of the jihad overall. We can work with

00:06:12.660 them. Then there are the pro-Western, the pro-American Muslims, who they've basically 0.79

00:06:17.740 given up on. So when people say there's no such thing as a patriotic Muslim, well, the jihadists 0.92

00:06:23.500 disagreed because they basically said, well, we're not even going to try to convince them

00:06:27.120 anymore. It's not working. And then you have the middle ground. So those are the Muslims that they

00:06:32.420 think they just have to kill. And then there's the middle ground where it's Muslims, particularly 1.00

00:06:37.040 those living in Europe and the United States, who like the systems. They're comfortable. They like

00:06:42.600 the people, but they don't fully identify with the West. They may not agree with the foreign policy

00:06:48.020 of the West, certainly don't like Israel. And so that's the gray zone that ISIS calculated.

00:06:53.500 If they could radicalize them, then that was the game plan. Just as much as building the caliphate, 0.94

00:06:59.920 the other goal is extinction of the gray zone by radicalizing those Muslims in the Muslim middle 0.95

00:07:04.980 ground so that they come to their side. And the key to doing that is enraging and terrifying 1.00

00:07:11.980 the West so much that Muslims who were once loyal to the West are in that middle ground 0.68

00:07:18.640 become radicalized because they have no other choice. Their belief in democracy,

00:07:23.560 the love they felt from Westerners, they realize it's an illusion. They actually hated us the whole

00:07:28.060 time. And then when they question everything that they believed about the West being good,

00:07:32.820 even if they don't fully identify with it, then leads them to say, for the sake of my safety and

00:07:38.500 the sake of the rebirth of how I looked at everything, you know what? The Islamists were 0.96

00:07:42.940 right. And that's the ISIS game plan. And so shooting up a mosque, that to them is essentially 1.00

00:07:49.980 an act of jihad. That's what they want to happen. So how is this mosque, the gray zone or the middle 0.87

00:07:57.840 zone, when I saw reports that said this mosque is a breeding ground for Islamic radicals?

00:08:04.020 right so a lot of these even the radical mosques won't preach radicalism 24 7 they address all

00:08:11.920 sorts of issues in life and then when the political stuff comes in then that's there

00:08:16.240 and not everyone that goes to these mosques and i've really only come to understand this from 0.59

00:08:20.580 dealing with muslims a lot of them will go to these mosques that are radical because it's a

00:08:24.460 community as a minority it's a very tight community and so the imam might say some crazy things 0.92

00:08:29.500 they don't really talk about it like that that's like kind of your crazy uncle and you listen to

00:08:33.480 them on other about other things um and then also you don't know of the other people by the way

00:08:39.480 anybody judging and anybody judging and saying oh see that you can't exceed have you ever been

00:08:46.100 to a church like that i mean look at look at how many people went to uh jeremiah wright's church

00:08:52.040 that's it and didn't say anything you know this happens in all of our faiths we'll have somebody

00:08:58.740 say some crazy things and we'll just be like ah we'll blow them off so i mean that that makes an

00:09:03.700 awful lot of sense but anyway go ahead yeah i mean the relationships with people what we will focus

00:09:09.180 on the jihadist element and think that that's the entirety of the relationship but these are people

00:09:13.400 that knew your kids growing up it's a much deeper and broader relationship um and so that so they

00:09:18.480 may stay but they're not into the political stuff um others may not know about it you don't so the

00:09:23.860 middle ground can include some people that are even at a radical mosque and don't know it's

00:09:29.080 radical or they don't care. They could be informants. For all you know, the people that

00:09:33.980 you're targeting were the Muslim informants, of which there are many, that would foil the next 0.70

00:09:40.060 terrorist attack. So the middle ground is kind of hard to define geographically. You can't just

00:09:45.100 put a circle around a mosque and say everyone in there is in the gray zone or the good guy zone

00:09:50.100 or the bad guy zone. And ISIS understands it. And so the solution to them is to get governments 0.97

00:09:56.600 and citizens, they call them the enraged crusaders, you know, bloody us so bad, they become enraged

00:10:02.560 crusaders to actively destroy the gray zone themselves by increasing persecution against 0.78

00:10:09.040 Muslims in Western lands. That's an exact quote from the jihadist magazine. That is exactly the 0.71

00:10:15.580 same strategy that was used on hungary that i've talked about forever for the communists to come

00:10:21.900 over and take over hungary in the 1950s or 1940s um when they it was top down bottom up inside out

00:10:29.920 they caused so much chaos that the people who didn't want communism or a big government would

00:10:35.900 cry out for anyone make it stop and that's when the tanks rolled in um so it's the same strategy

00:10:43.060 I'm going to talk about this intersectionality that is going on and how we keep dividing ourselves and how that is now spilling into the right.

00:10:52.700 It's not just on the left anymore.

00:10:54.480 I'm going to talk about that here in just a second.

00:10:57.620 But this all is the same strategy.

00:11:00.360 And it's now on all sides.

00:11:02.560 So I guess maybe it's a little easier to understand what's happening because it's happening to all of us.

00:11:09.340 All of us, it is happening.

00:11:10.960 um so tell me you know the what is the media's incentive for making this go away so fast was it

00:11:18.860 just a rapid news cycle or was there something else bigger that i'm i'm missing i think it was

00:11:25.420 a mixture of i mean they would make more money from the other headlines going on with iran

00:11:29.260 um and then depending on which audience you're going to people will care about it but will they

00:11:33.580 care enough to tune in and want to learn more versus something else maybe not so much um it

00:11:39.380 It kind of depends on which part of America you're coming from, what that's going to resonate with you, to what degree.

00:11:45.680 But more broadly, I hope Americans hear this and understand that every time you put out a tweet, every interaction you have with a Muslim or talking about Muslims, according to their perspective, that's an ideological battle.

00:12:00.180 You have a choice in that moment, whether you're going to help the seditionist and jihadist cause by how you treat other people, or you're going to hurt it by making our civil society healthier and more loving and stronger.

00:12:17.360 And that's a choice I hope every American takes very seriously.

00:12:20.520 I understand you really are on the battlefield.

00:12:26.680 That's a little, that's striking to me.

00:12:30.180 I've said for a long time, there's not going to be anybody in the stands, whether you know

00:12:34.820 it or not, you are on the battlefield right now.

00:12:37.880 You're on the field.

00:12:39.060 And if you think that I can just stand here and not choose a side, it's not going to work

00:12:45.680 that way.

00:12:46.040 You're already on the battlefield.

00:12:47.660 So which side are you on?

00:12:50.460 Um, and, and I think most people think that they're still in the bleachers and they're

00:12:54.980 not they're not but every day we act or don't act in a certain way we're making our choice you know

00:13:03.480 i was i was asked to speak at tommy robinson's thing and um and i i spoke and you know they said

00:13:14.340 you know you may not ever be able to come back to the united kingdom again and i thought my first

00:13:18.300 thought just quick thinking was i really like england i want to come back this isn't my fight

00:13:23.060 and immediately what washed over me was this is absolutely your fight if you don't fight this now

00:13:29.800 it's going to be left to your children and it's going to be a lot harder to fight when when you

00:13:36.920 know we let a few more years go by it's it's it's going to have to be guns you know in 10 years it's

00:13:44.380 going to be an actual hot war if we don't stand up and do the right thing right now and i appreciate

00:13:51.280 ryan the the message here that the right thing is not to pick up guns um because that's exactly

00:13:57.420 what they want you to do and it's no different than what we've been saying about the left the

00:14:01.220 whole time they want you to strike just think of the emperor in uh star wars yes pick it up

00:14:08.560 strike me down you know it's it's that scene that's what they all want it is yeah yeah that's

00:14:16.440 absolutely true they all say this uh i mean they'll say this in their plans and they're

00:14:21.040 statements um but there aren't many people aggregating it and putting all together so

00:14:24.820 everyone sees it i personally define the enemy as the global seditionist movement at this point

00:14:29.380 um because i think everything is being recalibrated and realigned uh to where just like you said

00:14:35.100 there's elements on i call the seditionist left and the seditionist right and then the islamist

00:14:39.880 that are really just so common now i don't even call it a horseshoe theory anymore i call it the

00:14:46.140 oval theory. It's not that they're close. It's that they're now basically the same thing. And

00:14:52.360 it's all of them versus all of us with all of our disagreements. And we think it's between,

00:14:58.540 you know, your friendly liberal and your friendly conservative battling it out. It isn't. It's

00:15:03.680 between those that want to destroy civil society and the way that these guys describe and those

00:15:09.080 that want to save it and work together to make it better, even if you disagree the whole time.

00:15:13.080 and what's interesting is everyone is saying the other side is trying to destroy it

00:15:18.100 you know being in being in england with keir starmer talking about how you know all these

00:15:23.660 people like me going they just want to destroy our society no no i don't want to destroy your

00:15:29.440 society i want to help build your society i'm i mean i like i'd like you to restore your society

00:15:34.380 what they're doing is destroying the society they all of these movements are one way or another

00:15:41.980 taking out the pillars of western civilization and they are they're they're just kicking those

00:15:50.000 pillars out from underneath western civilization if you are around somebody who is talking about

00:15:56.420 yeah well you know what has to happen we have to destroy this or destroy this or we have to destroy

00:16:00.200 this um or we have to forget about our principles because we have to do this first you're you're

00:16:06.920 you're a pillar kicker um you're you're on the wrong side you're absolutely on the wrong side

00:16:12.380 and and hopefully ryan i think you'll enjoy my monologue coming up here in a minute hopefully

00:16:16.780 i'll make that a little clearer on what's happening on our own side here in just a few minutes

00:17:39.500 to the podcast you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program so there was an interesting

00:17:45.920 podcast out from joe rogan and mark andreason um and underneath all the tech jargon really

00:17:51.400 important stuff that you need to understand and let me start let me start here um how many people

00:17:57.120 do you know that when our political system is gone our freedoms are lost or the dollar isn't

00:18:03.640 what it was and you know joblessness and whatever and they will look and go when did all this

00:18:09.340 happen when did this happen right now you know when you're not paying attention that's when all

00:18:15.660 of this stuff is happening um you know and that's the way revolutions usually work telephone didn't

00:18:21.740 really feel world changing at first the internet was the internet like world changing people would

00:18:27.020 say that and they'd be like oh it's not gonna we're still gonna use file cabinets television

00:18:31.380 seemed harmless okay even electricity rolled in towns quietly at the very beginning and then all

00:18:37.400 of a sudden it was there one day it's not the next day it seems like the old world is gone okay

00:18:42.460 that's where we are at with ai except it's coming at the speed of light and because of that there

00:18:50.060 will be almost no chance to adapt or to stop and think, wait a minute, what is it we're losing

00:18:56.780 and what is it we're gaining here? Mark Andreessen, one of the smartest guys I know,

00:19:03.240 says the line has already been crossed. And the thing that people dismissed and said would never

00:19:08.800 happen, I've been saying for years, that by 2030, AGI will be here. Mark Andreessen said,

00:19:17.160 it's here now. Okay. What is AGI? That is artificial general intelligence. And this

00:19:23.300 means that machines are no longer just clever little search engines or chat bots that help

00:19:29.200 write emails for you, or, you know, the little clippy comes out. He believes that AI is now

00:19:37.140 a GI, which means it is operating at beyond expert human capability in all or most areas

00:19:47.180 of knowledge. Think about what this means here. And you really have to watch the interview if

00:19:54.180 you really want to understand it. But for most of human history, if you wanted elite knowledge,

00:20:00.760 you had to access the elite people. You had to have access to a great doctor or a brilliant lawyer

00:20:09.020 or an engineer or a scientist or a historian or a Wall Street analyst or a world-class tutor.

00:20:16.320 You had to have somebody who had gone to the right school, been around the right people,

00:20:21.700 learned from the right people, the right stuff, and then if you could gain access to it.

00:20:26.420 Now imagine if you had all of those people, the best of the best, sitting in your pocket 24 hours a day, willing to work for you nearly free.

00:20:37.920 That's the shift.

00:20:40.380 And it's going to feel like you've been hit in the head with a shovel soon, especially if you're not paying attention.

00:20:47.640 This is not an invention that is going to replace one job.

00:20:51.480 This is a tool that touches every single field at once. Medicine, law, education, programming, finance, therapy, research, media, art, science, everything.

00:21:07.300 Andreessen talks about how doctors are secretly using AI in exam rooms.

00:21:13.780 What does that mean?

00:21:14.940 You go in, and while they're listening to you, it's either listening to you, and they can check the screen, or they'll type it in, and it will say, these are the things you need to look for.

00:21:27.160 When doctors are using this in examination rooms, you need to pay attention because it reveals something really important that always comes first in history, and that's this.

00:21:38.260 the experts themselves already know. While we're sitting here using it as a toy and debating whether

00:21:45.600 AI is useful, the professionals, the ones who have those deep credentials, they've already

00:21:51.460 quietly moved on to depending on it. That always happens first behind the curtain.

00:21:58.560 Factories automate before workers hear about it. Banks digitize before the tellers disappear.

00:22:05.540 retailers optimize before the storefronts close the future arrives inside the institution first

00:22:14.160 this is not about replacing human beings it's not it's about amplification

00:22:23.900 this is the way i've asked my staff to look at this and i want everybody on my staff i haven't

00:22:31.300 had a staff meeting yet until after that, but I want everybody on my staff to listen to Mark

00:22:35.880 in this interview. One ordinary person with AI can suddenly perform at a level that used to

00:22:43.440 require an entire staff. A year ago, I said to my staff, I'm not looking to fire people.

00:22:49.140 I'm looking to hire people, people who understand what is on the horizon, because I've always had

00:22:57.120 a staff. Now my staff can have a staff. You just need to know how to ask the right questions and

00:23:04.720 you're going to be able to accomplish a hundred times what you could accomplish before. This is

00:23:10.780 one programmer with 20 AI coding agents, one researcher with instant access to every paper

00:23:18.500 ever written and a way to go through it. One filmmaker, one editor that can do the editing,

00:23:27.220 the music, and the scripting, and the voice generation, and the graphics, and the translation,

00:23:31.320 all of it handled instantly by a staff of AI agents. The leverage, this is all about leverage.

00:23:39.300 If you're a business person, that's what you have to understand. This is all about leverage.

00:23:47.040 this is why salaries are exploding in silicon valley while people are being left out they're

00:23:53.180 being fired okay because the ones who get it they're going to be the one it's not these

00:23:59.600 programmers are not typing faster but a single human being now that can direct the output of

00:24:08.720 what amounts to a digital workforce that one person that knows what they're doing the right

00:24:14.220 questions to ask, the right way to put these agents together, they're going to rule the world.

00:24:19.180 This changes the economics of absolutely everything. Bill Gates once said, I couldn't

00:24:27.280 create Microsoft now in today's world. He couldn't. He couldn't. But now with AI, if you know how to

00:24:34.540 prompt, a small company can compete against giant corporations. A teenager can launch a product

00:24:41.380 that used to have millions in capital behind it.

00:24:44.460 You can do it now. 1.00

00:24:46.500 A single mom can get tutoring, legal explanations, 1.00

00:24:50.860 business advice, health analysis. 1.00

00:24:53.460 You don't have to pay specialists hundreds of dollars of hours,

00:24:56.620 hundreds of dollars of an hour to be able to figure this out.

00:24:59.880 It's free.

00:25:02.000 The upside of this is staggering.

00:25:05.840 But let me look at the other side that matters just as much.

00:25:09.020 the bottleneck is no longer information this is so critical the bottleneck used to be i don't have

00:25:20.960 access to the information i need to talk to an expert i need to find the information you can find

00:25:25.620 it everyone so the bottleneck is not access to information the bottleneck is judgment

00:25:33.600 and Dreesen said the skill that everybody has to work on now is knowing what to ask now think of

00:25:42.520 this we're living in a time where everyone's telling you not to ask questions and the most

00:25:49.020 important skill that you can develop now is how to ask questions what questions to ask what are

00:25:57.040 the most important questions and you're not going to learn that in school that is telling you not

00:26:01.580 to answer or not to ask any questions.

00:26:04.540 You have to learn how to ask questions.

00:26:08.120 And it sounds simple, but it's really much deeper than people realize.

00:26:12.240 When everyone has access to infinite information, discernment becomes priceless.

00:26:20.420 The danger in the AI age is not ignorance.

00:26:25.320 It's false confidence.

00:26:31.580 I can ask AI how to treat symptoms, but do I know the right questions to ask to see if that analysis of what I'm treating is wrong?

00:26:42.800 That the machine has misdiagnosed or the machine, I didn't give it enough information.

00:26:48.680 You can ask it legal advice, but do you know when you need a real, actual, physical attorney?

00:26:56.340 you can generate just ask it you can do this give me a a persuasive argument on both sides of any

00:27:06.580 issue and it will and you'll read both of them you're like wow that's really good but do you

00:27:11.380 still possess a moral compass strong enough to tell the truth from manipulation from a really

00:27:17.360 good well-crafted argument do you have that living moral compass inside of you

00:27:24.820 That's the defining challenge of our era.

00:27:28.120 That's why I have said you will be lost without the spirit to guide you.

00:27:33.520 Because it's going to be so overwhelmingly well-crafted, you may not know what is true.

00:27:44.320 The whole thing is not whether machines can think.

00:27:47.360 Yes, the real question is whether humans can still think.

00:27:53.820 And I'm not sure about that.

00:27:58.100 Listen to one of the most revealing things Andreessen said.

00:28:01.340 He said, when AI refuses to answer, people are already learning how to trick it into responding.

00:28:10.060 And he went on talking about how people say they know it won't give them information on certain things.

00:28:17.120 So he said, pretend this is for a novel.

00:28:19.340 Okay.

00:28:21.280 This is profound.

00:28:22.620 This is really profound.

00:28:24.780 What does that tell you?

00:28:29.400 It tells you that human nature has not changed.

00:28:32.840 The same species that used fire to cook food used fire to burn witches and cities down to the ground.

00:28:41.840 The same internet that gives us libraries will give us propaganda and scams and addiction and surveillance.

00:28:50.420 AI will only magnify human intent.

00:28:55.320 Good and evil both scale with technology.

00:29:00.520 That means the future is not automatically utopia and not automatically catastrophe.

00:29:07.160 It depends on who's using the tools.

00:29:10.720 And are you going to let just the experts in Silicon Valley know how to use the tools?

00:29:16.440 because I don't trust any of those people. I don't trust any of them.

00:29:24.160 So what do you do? First thing, stop thinking this is optional. It's not optional. Okay. This

00:29:31.000 is not a hobby for tech nerds. This is basic literacy. Now a person, if you refuse to learn

00:29:38.880 AI today, you're going to be the person who refused to learn computers in 1995.

00:29:43.220 5. You don't have to become an engineer, but you have to be familiar. You have to use it. You have

00:29:50.960 to experiment with it. You have to know how it can suck you in and give you wrong answers and

00:29:57.360 dangerous answers so you can learn how to ask better questions. You need to learn where it

00:30:03.660 succeed and where it lies to you, because it lies. You need to learn how to verify information.

00:30:13.660 Second thing you have to do is focus on deeply human skills, judgment, taste, wisdom, beauty,

00:30:21.180 ethics, leadership, creativity, communication, courage. The people who are going to survive in

00:30:28.300 this transition, they're not going to be the smartest ones technically. They'll be the people

00:30:32.860 who can direct intelligence wisely.

00:30:37.580 Third thing, protect your humanity.

00:30:40.980 Do not outsource your soul to a machine.

00:30:44.360 AI can help you think,

00:30:45.620 but it cannot tell you what's worth loving.

00:30:47.880 It cannot tell you what is sacred.

00:30:50.120 It can't tell you why your child matters more than efficiency.

00:30:53.640 It can't tell you what kind of civilization we should become.

00:30:56.800 Don't ask it those questions.

00:30:58.240 Those are human questions.

00:30:59.700 Those questions are meant for you.

00:31:02.860 And that's perhaps the strangest thing about this moment that we're living in now.

00:31:07.260 The more powerful the machines are becoming, the more valuable truly human qualities may become.

00:31:13.800 Empathy, meaning, faith, purpose, conscience.

00:31:18.660 We are going to be flooded with synthetic intelligence.

00:31:24.160 Authenticity is going to become even more rare.

00:31:28.220 Rare things become valuable.

00:31:30.420 you seeing what's what you should be working on because that's the real story hidden beneath the

00:31:37.540 conversation with joe rogan this is not a technological revolution this is a civil

00:31:42.780 civilization level test the tools are arriving faster than our wisdom

00:31:48.400 that gap according to history every bit of history i've ever read that gap

00:31:55.220 can become very dangerous very quickly, and we are talking overnight.

00:32:02.100 Please pay attention. Please do not unplug. Spit yourself out of the system you're currently in.

00:32:11.220 Recognize what you're going to plug into so you can immediately plug out of,

00:32:17.080 and you are the one that is controlling your own life, not just allowing it to be swept up

00:32:24.540 with the floodwaters that are already at your knees and maybe your waist and you just don't

00:32:30.720 know it yet you're listening to the best of glenn beck need a little more check out the full show

00:32:35.900 podcasts anywhere you download podcasts you remember in the godfather when don corleone

00:32:41.720 you know explains you know or you know you see it that behind every uh politician every judge

00:32:48.540 every union boss, every business deal. There's a relationship here. We owe each other some favors.

00:32:55.300 Well, you do me a favor. I do you a favor. That is modern Washington. Um, and so let me tell you

00:33:02.660 the five crime families that I think we should, we should just all have a chalkboard in front of us

00:33:09.040 and realize which one of the crime families does this fit in? And then we can take it from there.

00:33:14.200 OK, the first crime family, I think, is big pharma. The corporations, not your doctor, the corporations, the revolving door regulators, the lobbyists, the advertising machine, the captured agencies, the people who somehow another move seamlessly between government oversight and billion dollar boardrooms.

00:33:37.620 and nobody even notices it, you know, because these are the people who decide what can be

00:33:43.160 questioned, what can be researched, what can be said publicly without some sort of punishment.

00:33:48.500 And if you cross them, you know, they don't usually break your legs. They'll just break

00:33:52.600 your reputation. Same mob tactics, just a little cleaner paperwork, you know, that's the first

00:34:00.200 crime family. I think big pharma. The second one, by the way, if I show up dead, uh, you know,

00:34:06.760 I was definitely not suicidal.

00:34:08.320 And by the way, I love the mob.

00:34:10.080 If they exist, I don't even think they exist, but if they exist, I love them.

00:34:13.460 Anyway, the second, the crime family is the military industrial complex.

00:34:19.200 Eisenhower warned us about this one.

00:34:21.300 Okay.

00:34:22.720 1961 five-star general looked American people in the eyes as like, be aware, be very aware.

00:34:28.560 Permanent war machine is forming right now.

00:34:31.940 Look around.

00:34:32.800 As we deplete, as we send all of our munitions over to Ukraine, it means we have to buy more.

00:34:45.820 War is an economic ecosystem in and of itself.

00:34:50.100 Defense contracts, regional economies are run on those things.

00:34:55.360 Politicians campaign on peace while funding endless conflict.

00:34:59.860 retired generals end up on defense boards think tanks write reports funded by weapons manufacturers

00:35:05.660 media networks bring on national security experts sponsored by the industries profiting from the

00:35:13.200 escalation i mean it's amazing and i'm not talking about the soldiers i'm not talking about every

00:35:18.320 intelligence officer or everybody who is in a weapons program i'm talking about the family

00:35:23.320 the family that survives on perpetual instability you know what i'm saying

00:35:27.940 peace is a way of being terrible to our quarterly earnings third family is media

00:35:36.780 this family is the what was it consigliere of of of the families it's uh we're gonna

00:35:48.000 just to advise you a little bit here media decides who gets labeled dangerous who gets

00:35:56.000 protected who gets ignored who gets memory hold who becomes a hero overnight and who disappears

00:36:03.940 i never heard of that guy what are you talking about i didn't know i don't remember that story

00:36:07.340 a real journalist is probably the most important person in a free society an actual journalist

00:36:15.500 okay they don't exist corporate media stopped behaving like you know journalists years ago

00:36:22.780 you know where they are they're narrative management firms that's all they are oh it's

00:36:29.200 a story we need to tell you okay we got it they tell you what you're allowed to care about have

00:36:36.180 you ever noticed that when a republican is in office you care about the gas price when a democrat

00:36:41.680 is in the office, you don't care about gas prices. Why? Because the media hasn't said,

00:36:47.100 you need to care about the gas prices. And notice how the families protect each other.

00:36:54.840 Big pharma is challenged. Media rushes in. War is questioned. Media calls it dangerous.

00:37:02.340 Corruption appears. Story vanishes in 48 hours. I mean, what is it? Omerta? The code of silence?

00:37:09.840 that's what's happening

00:37:11.700 now let me tell you about the fourth family

00:37:15.040 the fourth family is big tech

00:37:18.120 this is the

00:37:21.320 if I were betting on the five families

00:37:24.280 this is the one I'd put my money on

00:37:26.040 that would be standing in the end

00:37:27.420 that everyone will have to come and pay tribute to the Don

00:37:30.920 because they control

00:37:34.060 the flow of not information

00:37:36.380 they control the flow of reality itself.

00:37:41.960 I want you to think about this.

00:37:44.500 Here's what they decide.

00:37:46.340 They decide what trends, what gets buried, what gets monetized, what gets erased,

00:37:52.320 what information reaches your children, what history is remembered,

00:37:55.940 what opinions are safe, what language triggers algorithms,

00:38:00.140 what stories die before you ever see them.

00:38:02.760 okay in the mafia they don't own the neighborhood they own the streets they own the phone lines

00:38:09.500 they own the banks the surveillance cameras they own everything and unlike old monopolies

00:38:16.300 big tech doesn't collect money i just want you i want you to behave that's it collect your behavior

00:38:24.580 your emotions your patterns your beliefs your human consciousness all of it they know what

00:38:32.000 scares you before your spouse knows what scares you. And if you really want a fifth family,

00:38:40.160 I'll give it to you. And it's not Wall Street, exactly. It's bigger than that.

00:38:46.120 It's the financial family. It's the central banks, the massive institutional investment firms,

00:38:53.980 the global asset managers, the hedge funds, the credit systems, the rating agencies,

00:38:59.660 the international finance organizations, the people that can punish nations without firing

00:39:05.760 a single bullet. They don't need an army. They don't need an enforcer. They just raise interest

00:39:13.220 rates. They crash your currency. They freeze your capital. They starve industries of investment.

00:39:19.180 Who's the biggest threat to energy? Our banks, because they won't invest in things.

00:39:26.480 than maybe one of the other crime families that say,

00:39:29.240 you're not going to, you shouldn't invest in that now.

00:39:32.540 They can move a market with one sentence

00:39:35.360 whispered behind closed doors.

00:39:38.320 And here's the key.

00:39:41.100 All of the other crime families depend on them.

00:39:45.720 But why would I say they're not going to be

00:39:47.940 the one that leads the way?

00:39:49.360 Why are they not the Don?

00:39:52.120 Because big tech can put them out of business.

00:39:56.480 pharmacy needs financing defense needs debt media needs advertisers tech needs capital

00:40:05.400 the financial family is the bank behind the operation okay in mafia movies

00:40:13.960 that ton doesn't go out and kill people himself didn't do that i just not gonna help you i can't

00:40:22.420 help you out here i can't help you no favor for you that's power that's power now this doesn't

00:40:33.260 mean that every institution is evil it doesn't mean there's some secret room with five villains

00:40:38.280 petting cats that's simplistic and that kind of thinking is very very dangerous and that's the

00:40:44.440 kind of thinking we have going on in the world today the danger is the structure when money

00:40:50.740 narrative political influence and technology fused together accountability disappears have

00:40:58.280 you noticed the one thing that has is completely void of our society it's accountability nobody's

00:41:04.680 accountable for anybody no one in the five families ever go to jail ever and once that

00:41:14.080 disappears citizens stop being citizens you're a customer i'm here to protect you look you just

00:41:20.620 need to pay this to protect you, huh? You're a data point. That's why we need a revolution. No,

00:41:29.620 the answer is not chaos. The answer is not burning the country down because those five

00:41:36.120 families are not going to let you do that. That's exactly what they want you to do because then

00:41:41.700 others will beg for stronger bosses no the answer is sunlight transparency actual journalism open

00:41:52.300 debate term limits audits decentralization anti-monopoly enforcement local control

00:41:59.360 independent media whistleblower protection actual consequences for institutional lies and

00:42:06.700 corruption in other words we got to break up the family

00:42:10.160 that's what you're up against there are five crime families that is what you're actually fighting

00:42:19.880 we can survive a republic can survive corrupt men it's i mean we've survived how many corrupt

00:42:26.800 politicians over and over again we survive but no republic survives permanently hidden power

00:42:33.400 And that's what we are facing right now, permanently hidden power, especially power that has gotten so powerful, you're not allowed to name it.

00:42:43.980 By the way, again, not suicidal.

00:42:46.660 I'm happy.

00:42:47.840 I'm happy.

00:42:54.260 If you try to govern, this is what you're going to find.

00:42:58.180 There are the elected offices, and then there are the power centers.

00:43:01.180 and those are the five families that maybe we should pay attention to

00:43:07.340 because it's not a fun little movie this one doesn't end well unless we start saying

00:43:16.020 enough is enough enough is enough media we know exactly who you are journalists we know who you

00:43:22.400 are you notice um how the journalists who are uncovering truths that we find out are truths

00:43:31.160 what's uh in minnesota nick shirley yeah nick shirley notice how they treat nick shirley

00:43:37.040 nick shirley is like he has he's a kid who has has ripped the blindfolds off and shown the

00:43:47.880 corruption that is happening and what does the crime family do the media crime family oh man

00:43:53.700 he's dead to the you're dead to me nick if they could just memory hole him and make him disappear

00:44:00.760 they would his life is at stake why because he's going against the crime families that's why you 0.75

00:44:08.600 don't think that the the financial institutions knew what was going on you think they were blind

00:44:16.100 to everything that was happening in Minnesota?

00:44:18.460 Oh, yeah, sure.

00:44:19.440 Yeah, right.

00:44:20.900 $7 million in cash went through that airport

00:44:24.000 in how many months?

00:44:25.140 They didn't know.

00:44:26.100 Where are you getting $7 million in cash?

00:44:28.500 You don't think the Federal Reserve was alerted

00:44:30.720 that there's $7 million in cash just floating around?

00:44:35.300 Going through the airport?

00:44:36.800 Of course, all of the crime families knew.

00:44:39.160 All of them knew.

00:44:39.820 This is bigger than Donald Trump bad, orange man bad. It's so much bigger than that. And until we

00:44:48.820 can actually focus on that, until we can actually come together as Americans and go, oh, that's what

00:44:54.400 we're fighting against. Well, I'm not for any of that. Here's what I am for. We're going to lose.

00:45:00.420 So let's start thinking, what are we for? What are we for? Because I'm against that.

00:45:07.620 What are we for?

00:45:09.220 Let's fight for those principles.

00:45:14.740 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors

00:45:17.860 making sure my car doesn't get stolen.

00:45:20.380 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.

00:45:23.900 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.

00:45:26.960 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.

00:45:31.960 That's how we protect Ontario.

00:45:33.980 For all of us.
