00:00:00.120 Really great program today. We talk about everything, your money, the deficit, what's causing the CBO yesterday to come out and say,
00:00:07.960 oh yeah, we're going to have to add another, you know, almost half a trillion dollars to this year's debt.
00:00:14.560 The businesses that are going out, 25% faster rate than last year.
00:00:20.860 But what's causing all of this? Inflation. What's causing that? We talk about it.
00:00:25.520 Also, Mike Lee joins me to talk about the difference, the differences that we need to look for in our candidates, especially in the primaries.
00:00:37.220 You know, are you going to be a radical and go with these radical Republicans or are you going to go with a rhino? 0.88
00:00:46.260 We talk about that as well. And Garrett Ziegler joins us. He's from Marco Polo.
00:00:51.620 He wrote the report on the Biden laptop, which is just the facts, ma'am.
00:00:58.220 And he talks to us about what's coming in September, a huge trial that actually gets to the meat of the business of the Bidens.
00:01:08.580 Also, in hour number three of today's, James Polis joins us.
00:01:15.220 There is a new advancement in technology where we're running out of power for AI.
00:01:24.080 We need to find power.
00:01:25.720 Well, the good news is they're harvesting embryos for their stem cells to make organoids to power AI.
00:01:34.360 AI. Yeah, that sounds great.
00:01:38.700 May God save the Republic all on today's show.
00:01:42.140 First, next time you're standing just somewhere in your home, I want you to look around and go, what would it take to sell this house?
00:01:49.800 If I wanted to put it online, what would I have to take?
00:01:52.320 And then you're quickly just dismiss that real quick because you don't want to imagine all the things that you have to do because it's an awful lot of stuff.
00:01:59.780 I'm sure it's time to realize a simple fact.
00:02:02.640 What you need is an expert to tell you all the things that you have to do and the things that will bring buyers in to look at your house and that they can overlook.
00:02:13.920 And and the things that you just have to do because people can't overlook that purple paint in the bedroom or whatever it is.
00:02:20.440 There is a real expert that you need when it comes to certain things like buying a home.
00:02:29.700 You're not an expert in that field, so you should talk to somebody that you can trust, that you believe knows what they're doing, has the track record, knows best business practices that can advise you on you should do this and this and this.
00:02:43.900 And then you decide what to do.
00:02:47.540 You can get that expert at realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:02:51.320 The name says it all.
00:02:53.600 Realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:02:55.080 Tell us where you're selling, where you're buying, and we'll find the right real estate agent for you.

00:03:02.960 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:14.320 Hello, America.
00:03:15.160 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:16.740 We're glad you're here.
00:03:18.920 Yesterday, I was called by a newspaper, and I was asked to comment on, you know, the split in the Republican Party.
00:03:29.080 And I said, what split in the Republican Party?
00:03:31.300 You want to talk about a split?
00:03:32.440 Look at the Democrats.
00:03:34.240 Right now, we're in primaries.
00:03:36.320 And, of course, there's splits during primaries.
00:03:39.460 But they're trying to pit Republicans against Donald Trump and everything else.
00:03:44.900 And I tried to make the point, nobody's against each other.
00:03:49.660 In primaries, sure.
00:03:51.180 But once the primaries decided, we're all on the same side.
00:03:54.300 We have to be.
00:03:55.160 But President Trump has just announced his endorsement for a primary for a congressperson in Utah.
00:04:04.800 Mike Lee joins me now.
00:04:06.260 This congresswoman, she's a wonderful person.
00:04:12.780 You know, Celeste Malloy is her name.
00:04:14.260 She's fine.
00:04:15.080 I think she talks a good game on the Constitution.
00:04:18.140 But she is somebody that was filling in for Chris Stewart after he had to leave.
00:04:23.420 And now she's being asked to be elected full time. 1.00
00:04:27.520 She voted for the first omnibus, the second omnibus, the NDAA.
00:04:32.320 She voted for FISA.
00:04:34.460 And I think it was Speaker Johnson that convinced Donald Trump to endorse her.
00:04:41.980 Mike Lee joins me now.
00:04:43.120 Hi, Mike.
00:04:44.520 Hello, Glenn.
00:04:45.120 Good to be with you.
00:04:46.440 Thank you.
00:04:47.000 Thank you.
00:04:47.740 So what are your thoughts on this?
00:04:49.480 First of all, there's no problem.
00:04:51.980 There's no split between you or me and Donald Trump.
00:04:55.780 Would you agree with that?
00:04:57.440 Absolutely.
00:04:58.760 100%.
00:04:59.240 And as you point out, people are going to back different candidates in elections.
00:05:03.400 One of the things you've got to look at is their basis for information.
00:05:07.100 Who knows the candidates better?
00:05:09.040 And what might have influenced that decision?
00:05:12.320 In this situation, Donald Trump chose a different candidate.
00:05:16.160 Now, look, not at all surprising that House Republican leadership, Speaker Mike Johnson, might want the incumbent to be reelected.
00:05:25.040 That is almost as sure as the sun rising in the east.
00:05:28.320 That House Republican leadership will try to back the incumbent.
00:05:32.700 Should be surprising to no one.
00:05:35.160 And based on the timing, it appears that Speaker Mike Johnson almost certainly influenced Trump's thinking on this.
00:05:42.780 He was down there at exactly the same moment.
00:05:45.280 I think he was spotted at Mar-a-Lago within moments of when this endorsement announcement came out.
00:05:53.060 And so, yeah, look, that happens.
00:05:56.980 And of course, he would want that.
00:05:59.200 She's a reliable vote for him.
00:06:01.020 But this is yet another example of why we need to look very carefully at who holds those leadership positions in Congress.
00:06:08.900 In any effect, this doesn't change one iota about the fact that we need a conservative fighter.
00:06:14.820 We need a hero.
00:06:15.940 We need somebody who will stand up for the Constitution.
00:06:17.720 We will need somebody who doesn't give a rip about what the GOP leaders in Congress, what I call the firm, the law firm of Schumer, McConnell, Johnson and Jeffries, says about how they should vote in Congress.
00:06:32.220 Colby Jenkins is that man.
00:06:33.980 We need Colby Jenkins, who is a true constitutional conservative.
00:06:37.440 He's a Green Beret veteran.
00:06:39.560 He is somebody who will push back against the firm, the swamp and the uniparty and stand for the Constitution.
00:06:47.420 So in talking to this reporter, and I'm waiting to see the story.
00:06:52.440 It was supposed to come out today, I thought, but it hasn't.
00:06:55.880 I'm anxious to see how it is framed, because especially in Utah, I said, you know, in Maine, in Minnesota,
00:07:08.360 I can understand that you have to go for a more, quote, moderate, which would mean another Mitt Romney.
00:07:16.680 But you cannot expect that in Utah.
00:07:22.040 How is it extreme in Utah for a constitutional conservative?
00:07:29.860 OK, just even I don't care if you're even liberal.
00:07:33.060 All the liberals from Utah should be constitutionalist.
00:07:36.200 That state, I mean, that state is one of the most red, white and blue states ever.
00:07:43.060 And its its main faith for decades taught the Constitution and taught about the the importance of it and how we need to stand up for it.
00:07:56.900 And when the Constitution is hanging by a thread, how could you possibly go for a rhino and call the guy or the the people that are trying to stand up and say,
00:08:07.820 no, the answer is restoring our founding documents and restoring order to those founding documents.
00:08:15.400 How could that be extreme in a conservative state?
00:08:19.700 Well, it's it's it's extreme because people who call themselves moderates are improperly using that term.
00:08:28.640 I don't think they understand what that term means.
00:08:31.260 Glenn, what is extreme is a thirty five trillion dollar debt that people add to in Congress at a rate of two trillion dollars a year.
00:08:38.760 What is extreme is a government that makes you work months out of every year just to pay your federal taxes and then requires you to comply with a Byzantine labyrinth of federal regulations enacted by men and women, 0.89
00:08:50.400 not of their own choosing, not elected lawmakers contrary to the Constitution.
00:08:54.200 What's extreme is a government that uses FISA 702 to engage in warrantless backdoor searches on the American people.
00:09:02.980 Those things are extreme. So those people who call themselves moderates back up that system, back up the uniparty and the firm, and then they call themselves moderates.
00:09:13.700 Shame on them. But this is why I support Colby Jenkins.
00:09:16.860 Anyone within the sound of my voice who agrees ought to go to Colby for Utah dot com and support Colby Jenkins.
00:09:23.460 Those living in Utah in the second congressional district should vote for Colby Jenkins.
00:09:28.960 We need Colby Jenkins in Congress.
00:09:30.820 And this is nothing against Donald Trump or anything else.
00:09:35.820 I have no problem with Donald Trump, Donald Trump.
00:09:38.680 And I've heard this from so many people.
00:09:41.080 He doesn't know all of the he can't keep up with all the people running for Congress and everything else.
00:09:48.300 And this one was brought on, I firmly believe, by our speaker,
00:09:53.820 our speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who is I don't know what he is.
00:10:02.080 I don't know what he is, but he is not what he presented himself as by any stretch of the imagination.
00:10:08.360 And he is the new Mitch McConnell just in the House.
00:10:12.880 You know, this has got to end.
00:10:16.600 We have done the rhino thing over and over and over again.
00:10:20.440 And it hasn't gotten us anywhere except into deeper debt and more problems.
00:10:26.740 restoring the law and order that stems only from the Constitution of the United States,
00:10:34.040 the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence.
00:10:36.380 That is the solution.
00:10:38.840 And everyone in a conservative state should know that.
00:10:43.580 And that's right.
00:10:45.380 And whether they call themselves conservatives or not, if they believe in the U.S. Constitution,
00:10:51.360 and if they believe that our federal laws need to be made only by men and women of our own choosing,
00:10:56.780 that is those elected to Congress, not by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats,
00:11:00.280 if they believe they shouldn't be spied on without a warrant,
00:11:03.220 if they believe that they shouldn't have to work months of every year to pay their federal taxes
00:11:07.160 and still be $35 trillion in debt, then they should be behind the Constitution
00:11:12.280 because the Constitution is the only answer.
00:11:13.920 I don't fault Donald Trump one iota, one ounce of this.
00:11:17.780 This is not his fault.
00:11:20.260 He was given information.
00:11:22.320 That information was what he relied on.
00:11:25.540 And unfortunately, the people who gave him that information made a critical error.
00:11:29.900 This is why we need new leadership in Congress.
00:11:32.320 And that starts by electing Colby Jenkins to the Utah 2nd Congressional District.
00:11:38.900 Okay.
00:11:40.040 We got to do this one person at a time.
00:11:42.660 And this is happening.
00:11:43.800 And, you know, especially in conservative states, if, you know, there are constitutionalists running,
00:11:51.180 do not allow them to paint those people as extremists.
00:11:55.600 Since when has the Bill of Rights and the idea that we are a democratic republic,
00:12:04.340 that democracy happens on voting day, and then the republic kicks in and represents us,
00:12:12.260 we're representative republic.
00:12:14.600 Since when has being a republic been controversial?
00:12:20.220 It's not.
00:12:21.140 So stop allowing people to paint you.
00:12:24.760 When did you just, when they say this, I'm sorry, my belief in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution
00:12:30.600 and Declaration of Independence is extreme?
00:12:33.800 Well, I know I haven't changed.
00:12:37.540 When did you change?
00:12:39.340 When did you stop believing those things?
00:12:41.520 Yeah, look, the most extreme thing about our government is that it is too big,
00:12:50.640 it is too expensive, it is too intrusive, and it recognizes very few limits on its authority.
00:12:57.940 That is extreme.
00:12:59.360 Now, oddly enough, the people who love that nonsense, the people who love to make people subjects rather than citizens,
00:13:08.140 are the ones using the E-word, and they should turn it right back on themselves.
00:13:12.340 And if they won't, we'll do it for them, and we'll elect people like Colby Jenkins to Congress to get it done.
00:13:17.900 Mike, this is Pat Gray.
00:13:19.480 We're in an era of not being able to even point out the fact that we have a commander-in-chief
00:13:27.100 who can't even get through a sentence anymore, and then we're told that that's some kind of cheap fake or deep fake.
00:13:34.120 How do the American people respond to this?
00:13:36.660 How can we get it through to our friends and relatives that we see this guy disintegrating right before our very eyes,
00:13:44.940 and the only thing we can expect are bad policies and bad candidates if we don't wake up and do something about this?
00:13:54.820 I have never been for removing somebody just because I don't like them or anything else.
00:14:03.040 This is different than impeachment for the crimes that I believe have been committed.
00:14:07.880 This is the guy is not capable in emergency situations of processing things.
00:14:15.920 Yesterday, he had a breakdown on stage that was terrifying.
00:14:18.980 How do we deal with it, Mike?
00:14:22.340 First of all, in response to Pat's question, we do have to rule out the possibility that he might have learned Greek
00:14:29.460 or some other absurd language that we know nothing about.
00:14:33.420 I mean, that was a possibility.
00:14:35.500 I mean, it could happen.
00:14:37.700 As for the phrases, he might just be receiving some sort of telecommunication that we can't understand.
00:14:44.660 Or maybe he's speaking in tongues.
00:14:47.020 Is that a possibility?
00:14:48.180 Yeah, it's a possibility.
00:14:49.480 That could happen.
00:14:50.880 But if neither of those is the case, then we really are in 25th Amendment territory.
00:14:56.640 Yeah.
00:14:56.960 And we're also in the territory where we've got a government where the people doing the maneuvering
00:15:04.580 aren't the people elected to do that job, which is the same problem we've got in the legislative branch.
00:15:10.200 We've delegated it all to the executive branch.
00:15:12.960 And then the guy running the executive branch apparently can't find his way off of a stage.
00:15:19.940 And so this is really troubling.
00:15:21.340 That's why this election matters so much.
00:15:22.900 And that's why every vote you count, especially for federal office right now,
00:15:27.140 because that's where the government is most broken, is in Washington, D.C.
00:15:30.680 Make sure every one of them counts.
00:15:33.140 And that's why you've got to study these candidates carefully and look for the candidate that most
00:15:39.260 faithfully scrutinizes each and every decision by government to make sure that it comports with
00:15:45.340 the Constitution.
00:15:47.600 And that's why he supports Colby Jenkins.
00:15:49.660 I expected you to say that at the very end.
00:15:53.420 ColbyforUtah.com.
00:15:54.580 ColbyforUtah.com.
00:15:56.120 That's where you can support it.
00:15:57.620 Thank you so much.
00:15:58.680 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:16:03.140 All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about Patriot Mobile.
00:16:05.460 I had a friend write to me a couple of weeks ago, and he said, Glenn, I don't know why
00:16:08.380 I didn't listen to you before, he said, but one of the big three just raised their rates
00:16:14.680 on me.
00:16:15.400 And he said it was, I mean, just unbelievable how high my rate went.
00:16:20.040 He said he was paying over, he has four phone lines, and he said he was paying over $420
00:16:25.040 or $450 every single month.
00:16:28.040 So he said, I immediately thought of your commercials, and I went and I called.
00:16:33.140 Patriot Mobile.
00:16:35.860 What happened when he called Patriot Mobile?
00:16:37.700 He's now paying for those same four phone lines just over $100 a month instead of $400
00:16:44.000 a month.
00:16:45.380 Make the switch to Patriot Mobile.
00:16:47.680 They're a great company.
00:16:49.080 They're the only Christian conservative phone company out there.
00:16:52.480 They really are working at the grassroots level to help defend and protect our Constitution.
00:16:58.500 You get the same great coverage because you have access to the same three major networks
00:17:03.660 that everybody is on, and they have a 100% U.S.-based customer service team that will show
00:17:10.980 you how much money you can save every single month.
00:17:13.920 This is an easy way to do your phone service.
00:17:17.660 You're standing on the right side, and you're saving money.

00:17:36.340 Now, back to the podcast.
00:17:39.800 Garrett Ziegler is with us.
00:17:42.620 He is the founder of Marco Polo and the chairman.
00:17:47.400 Marco Polo is a 501c3.
00:17:49.620 In fact, you can find it at marcopolo501c3.org.
00:17:53.960 And they have put together the report on the Biden laptop.
00:17:58.660 This is something that, you know, I bought two copies of.
00:18:03.640 In fact, I bought just another two copies just the other day.
00:18:07.440 And one of those copies is for the vault, our history vault, because this is the truth
00:18:14.780 from the laptop.
00:18:16.460 There's no opinion in this.
00:18:18.100 This is just all of the stuff from the laptop.
00:18:20.460 And a lot of it is really disgusting.
00:18:24.160 But the important stuff is about the money, the money from oligarchs and the business,
00:18:32.080 if you will, that Joe Biden certainly had nothing to do with.
00:18:36.100 Welcome, Garrett.
00:18:37.120 How are you?
00:18:39.020 Thank you very much for having me on.
00:18:40.700 I'm honored that you'd say it was for a time capsule.
00:18:43.520 That was part of our goal.
00:18:45.280 So I'm glad you said that.
00:18:47.060 There is there.
00:18:47.800 I think there was one other book that I have I've purchased here recently in the last year
00:18:52.640 that also I felt belonged in the time capsule or the vault.
00:18:58.400 And it's very rare that I do that.
00:19:00.720 But this is the the actual truth.
00:19:05.540 There's no opinion.
00:19:06.560 There's nothing.
00:19:07.700 Historians will be able to look back on this and go, what the hell were they thinking?
00:19:12.140 Because it's pretty obvious.
00:19:13.360 Well, that made Hunter's wife's flare up outside of the courtroom two weeks ago at me so much, 1.00
00:19:22.900 you know, that much more ridiculous.
00:19:24.420 I'm not sure if you saw this.
00:19:26.060 It was it was a minor story that her his wife, his second wife, Melissa Cohen, who he married
00:19:31.300 after six days, called me a Nazi outside of the courtroom.
00:19:35.920 And it's funny because, you know, I was just a member of the of the public there.
00:19:40.960 I didn't say one word to them.
00:19:42.380 I had my hands in my lap the entire time.
00:19:45.600 And the reason why it's so ridiculous is because, like you say, the report does not editorialize
00:19:51.200 much.
00:19:52.400 It's just screenshots from videos.
00:19:56.420 It takes screenshots of emails.
00:19:59.560 You know, what we are doing essentially is digital archaeology.
00:20:03.120 What I mean by that is when we say Hunter solicited a prostitute, it's not enough for us just to say
00:20:10.140 that we find a Venmo email notification and then corroborate that with a photo using the metadata embedded within that photo.
00:20:19.120 So it's really police work, honestly.
00:20:21.820 And it's not that glamorous, but I find it fun.
00:20:24.120 I got to tell you, it's a dark, dark laptop.
00:20:32.260 And first they tried to deny it.
00:20:34.720 Then they tried to get you to stop.
00:20:36.740 They sued you and said that you were illegally hacking into the laptop, which any truth?
00:20:43.900 How did that work out for them?
00:20:45.780 Any truth to that?
00:20:46.560 Well, it's absolutely not.
00:20:48.940 It's all ridiculous.
00:20:50.080 And even Hunter got Winston and Strawn, one of the most prominent law firms in America,
00:20:54.600 to sign off on it, partly because they just want Kevin Morris' cash, although we're hearing
00:20:59.600 that may be drying up soon.
00:21:01.880 But we were sued by both Hunter in September, but then also last May, his caveman-looking
00:21:08.880 sugar brother, the guy with the deep pockets who's been funding all these legal misadventures,
00:21:14.960 sued me for doxing.
00:21:18.320 Of course, it was dismissed, but he's appealing that in the California appellate court.
00:21:23.000 And I think they know in their souls they're just lashing out, but their goal is to try to
00:21:29.600 dry us up resource-wise, right?
00:21:33.180 So it's a quintessential slap.
00:21:36.440 I'm sure you've faced them.
00:21:37.700 It's a strategic lawsuit against public participation.
00:21:40.100 It is disgusting.
00:21:41.060 And they even tried to get the IRS to stop allowing you to use a 5013C status, correct?
00:21:52.040 Correct.
00:21:53.320 I laughed just because they basically thrown the kitchen sink at us.
00:21:57.840 Abby Lowell has now, going on 17 months, basically tried everything, went to the IRS, that failed.
00:22:04.380 I was the witness for the mother of Hunter's child in Arkansas before that case was settled,
00:22:11.200 about four months before the case was settled, when the litigation was still ongoing.
00:22:15.260 She realized that this weird young guy, I'm referring to myself, went through the device
00:22:22.720 and said, well, he knows more about Hunter's finances than anyone.
00:22:26.220 And so she had me as a witness, and that made them blow a gasket. 0.99
00:22:29.000 So they tried to get me removed from the case and that failed.
00:22:33.080 So again, my motives are very clear.
00:22:35.020 They like, like you, my only concern is Joe.
00:22:40.080 But they think that I have this vendetta against Hunter, whereas I look at Hunter as a tragic,
00:22:46.960 cheap, political harlot who sold his family's name.
00:22:50.780 But my focus has always been on Joe.
00:22:52.140 There was this ridiculous profile in the Washington Post about our group last September,
00:22:59.180 and it says that I'm going after Hunter Biden.
00:23:01.160 Nothing can be further from the truth.
00:23:02.420 I'm not going after Hunter Biden.
00:23:04.020 I think that this story, like you said, is one of the most incredible of the 21st century
00:23:08.680 because it shows the lengths that Joe went to collect cash.
00:23:13.440 It is, yeah, it is, you know, someday, again, historians will look back on this evidence
00:23:19.760 and they'll say, what the hell happened here?
00:23:22.760 How did this, how was this not evident to everyone?
00:23:28.060 And the answer is the cover-up.
00:23:31.040 And the cover-up is always worse than the actual information.
00:23:35.840 And that's hard to say that the cover-up will be worse than the crime because this crime
00:23:42.800 that I believe happened and is, you know, your book shows a lot of the evidence.
00:23:51.880 It's hard to beat this crime, but the cover-up is just distorting everything in America
00:23:58.600 and rotting us to the core.
00:24:02.220 That's a great point you make.
00:24:03.480 I've never thought of it like that, but I think it's spot-on that usually the cover-up
00:24:08.020 is worse, but you could say that the cover-up this time is commensurate with the severity
00:24:13.220 of the traffic for the United States.
00:24:17.460 There's so many threads to pull here.
00:24:19.920 You mentioned in the opening the Watergate scandal, and I agree with you completely.
00:24:25.620 I think it was a third-rate burglary, but I was watching because I'm a one for punishment.
00:24:33.480 I was watching this cheerleading interview they did with Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein
00:24:38.920 over the weekend.
00:24:40.160 I think it was with Jonathan Carl.
00:24:42.060 All three of them are contemptible scoundrels.
00:24:44.780 The way they gloat over this small third-rate burglary vis-a-vis the foreign oligarch connections 0.88
00:24:57.360 and verified lies, it is disgusting. 0.79
00:25:01.500 I think that would be, as the kids say, one of the greatest black pills is that they have
00:25:06.300 been milking this Watergate bonanza for 50 years, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward.
00:25:15.220 I mean, by themselves, they're just standard reporters.
00:25:18.580 There's nothing special about them, but because they toppled Nixon, they've been revered as
00:25:23.900 sort of saints.
00:25:25.400 And, you know, they were my age when they put the water—they were both 28 when they put
00:25:29.920 the Watergate store together.
00:25:31.100 I think Carl was 29.
00:25:33.060 But essentially, the way Jonathan Carl was talking about them, you'd think they were
00:25:38.740 like bishops in the Catholic Church of journalism.
00:25:42.200 Yes.
00:25:42.680 It was just so, so disgusting to hear.
00:25:45.200 And yet, like you said, it doesn't even compare.
00:25:47.600 Well, I mean, it still was—I mean, I still think it was impeachable and everything else,
00:25:54.480 but they've lost any platform they should have had because of that by now selectively not
00:26:06.000 coming in and saying, well, no, this is no big deal.
00:26:09.320 You know, you can't be a hero unless you take on your own side as well.
00:26:14.780 Can't.
00:26:15.240 You can't root out corruption if it's only halfway.
00:26:20.360 Yes, and that's one of the ironies of them labeling us.
00:26:24.040 Like, they want us to be labeled a, you know, a Trumpist organization.
00:26:31.620 But we actually spend more time in this report talking about Republicans.
00:26:36.460 For example, here's one tidbit that came out during our research.
00:26:40.900 Of the 51 former spooks who signed the letter on October 19, 2020, there are more Republicans
00:26:49.260 on that list than Democrats.
00:26:51.380 And most people haven't touched on that.
00:26:54.260 That list is a who's who of establishment Republicans that went all in for Joe.
00:27:02.020 So that's another wrinkle to this.
00:27:03.800 And there are so many instances within the laptop of influence peddling with Republicans.
00:27:08.680 I mean, Hunter was good friends with Strom Thurmond's son-in-law, who's a big Republican lobbyist
00:27:13.420 in D.C.
00:27:14.620 And, you know, that was Joey's brand for 36 years in the Senate.
00:27:20.780 This is a bipartisan guy.
00:27:22.540 So the laptop is not just, oh, a Republican, you know, hitting stick.
00:27:28.960 It is an indictment of the entire Uniparty. 0.97
00:27:33.960 And all we tried to do was bring specificity to that.
00:27:38.260 And, you know, I'm not sure if your listeners know this, but they can go and download and
00:27:44.520 view all 128,000 emails from the device at BidenLaptopEmails.com for free.
00:27:52.220 And that's one of the things driving Hunter and his attorneys up a wall is we've done all
00:27:58.080 this sort of as a charity, as a, you know, as a for free, there's no barrier to entry.
00:28:03.200 Anybody with an internet connection can go to BidenLaptopEmails.com and search my keyword.
00:28:08.720 And so they can fact check you and I in real time as we talk about this.
00:28:12.280 So when I talk about, you know, Venmo notifications for prostitute and drug purchases, you know,
00:28:17.540 people don't have to take my word for it.
00:28:19.800 You can go to BidenLaptopEmails.com and I think that's one of the cool things we've done is
00:28:23.520 now that Julian Assange is tragically in the pen for no good reason, they have, they hate
00:28:31.380 that we're sort of a mini version of WikiLeaks for the laptop.
00:28:34.860 That's really what they, what we're trying to do and they hate that.
00:28:38.340 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:28:41.440 James Polis joins us now.
00:28:43.240 He is the Blaze Media Editor at Large and the Blaze TV host of Zero Hour.
00:28:48.620 He is also the founder and editor or editorial director of Return, which is a new vertical
00:28:55.880 on theblaze.com.
00:28:58.500 We have several different things that we're working on and one of them is Return, just like
00:29:02.820 on your keyboard when you hit Return.
00:29:04.660 It's all about tech.
00:29:07.380 He wrote a story that is one of the more disturbing dystopian stories.
00:29:12.580 And we've done our homework on this to some degree enough to go, oh no, this is actually
00:29:19.660 in practice and being used by the University of Michigan right now.
00:29:23.860 This is not some, you know, someday.
00:29:25.900 And it's a little bit like the Matrix.
00:29:31.740 Environmentalists are worried about how do we make enough power to be able to power AI?
00:29:40.880 Well, they have found a way called organoids.
00:29:47.280 Wait until you hear this.
00:29:49.660 James is with us now.
00:29:51.380 Hello, James.
00:29:52.920 Hey, Glenn.
00:29:53.380 How are you?
00:29:53.760 Well, that's better before I read your story on organoids.
00:29:59.780 Yeah, I know.
00:30:00.660 This is bizarre and terrifying.
00:30:05.560 Yeah, it's really disturbing.
00:30:07.080 And it's been around for a little while, but it's really starting to kick into gear.
00:30:10.220 As you said, you know, AI consumes a ton of electricity, a lot of energy.
00:30:14.900 You know, environmentalists have always hated nuclear power for pretty perverse reasons,
00:30:19.380 I think, and so they're so afraid of using nuclear power that what's in vogue now is turning
00:30:25.000 to us to be the batteries.
00:30:27.280 Just take those stem cells out of embryos or out of the lab, sometimes even out of tumors,
00:30:33.760 turn them into brain cells, basically, and use those as batteries to power what they're
00:30:41.460 calling bioprocessors.
00:30:43.120 They say it'll use about a million times less power than a typical digital processor,
00:30:48.480 and that's a good thing, they say.
00:30:50.460 You can access them remotely.
00:30:52.620 And this is the new hype.
00:30:53.920 You know, it's from the same folks who brought you the idea of going to carbon zero, net zero
00:30:58.400 carbon use.
00:30:59.060 They look at human beings as a waste of space, a waste of energy, and they want to harness
00:31:03.680 that to run AI that's supposed to be smarter than anyone can understand.
00:31:09.140 So on FinalSpark's website, this is the company that's doing this, they link to a Daily Mail
00:31:15.000 article that says, organoids are tiny, self-organized, three-dimensional tissue cultures made from
00:31:21.700 stem cells.
00:31:23.480 Stanford's website says stem cells come from two sources, embryonic stem cells.
00:31:29.620 And then, you know, that's unused embryos, and they are then donated to science, or adult
00:31:39.280 stem cells, but those are really limited and can only generate certain types of cells.
00:31:45.400 So they also say, FinalSpark's website says, these organoids live for about 100 days.
00:31:52.800 So are we harvesting embryos, using them to power a supercomputer for 100 days, and then
00:32:01.100 killing them and looking for more embryo stem cells? 0.96
00:32:05.260 Well, right.
00:32:07.200 So, you know, if you're uncomfortable with IFV, this stuff is going to drive you nuts.
00:32:10.860 There's an extra category of stem cells that they've created called induced pluripotent
00:32:15.300 cells.
00:32:16.440 And basically what you do is you start the embryonic process, but you arrest it before it
00:32:21.720 gets too far.
00:32:22.440 And then you harvest the stem cells out of this artificially induced embryonic organism,
00:32:29.080 right?
00:32:29.320 Human organism.
00:32:30.920 And then you create a fork, and you just grow those cells, you know, sort of in the way that
00:32:36.860 they grow fake meat cells.
00:32:39.000 You know, it's really akin to cancerous cells in the way that they grow.
00:32:44.180 And right.
00:32:44.880 So this is something that, you know, it's not one and done.
00:32:47.400 It's not like, well, maybe once upon a time there was an embryo who had to die for the
00:32:51.020 greater good.
00:32:51.560 No, this is like a perpetual motion machine.
00:32:53.760 You got to keep harvesting.
00:32:55.280 Yeah.
00:32:55.700 Every hundred days.
00:32:57.720 This is not a hypothetical, by the way.
00:33:00.080 Final Spark says the University of Michigan already using this neuro platform.
00:33:04.520 And this is, this is because there's not enough energy and these, these organoids, um, use
00:33:16.580 so much less energy that if we just harvest these embryos, um, we can then, um, AI can go 0.54
00:33:28.040 on and live forever and we don't have energy problems.
00:33:31.400 Good Lord.
00:33:33.000 That's terrifying.
00:33:35.320 Yeah.
00:33:35.840 I mean, at a certain point, you got to ask, you know, if we were created in the image
00:33:38.980 of God, how far can you stray from that before, uh, before something really horrible happens?
00:33:44.380 It's none of this is a surprise.
00:33:45.800 I mean, Nikola Tesla, back when he was alive, that, uh, infamously said, you will live to
00:33:50.340 see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.
00:33:52.580 And, uh, we're getting pretty close.
00:33:54.040 Yeah.
00:33:55.600 You have, um, you now have scientists who don't, don't necessarily believe in God, think that
00:34:05.340 they are creating a God in AI now harvesting God's creation to power their new God.
00:34:14.080 Good Lord, help us.
00:34:16.700 Yeah.
00:34:18.320 And if you cross that Rubicon where you say, okay, we're going to turn these, uh, these,
00:34:22.740 these brain cells into cyborgs into Frankenstein cells, uh, then it's not very long before
00:34:28.760 you say like, well, gosh, why don't we just turn the whole human race into this kind of
00:34:32.160 cyborg entity?
00:34:33.420 You know, uh, the Terminator, at least the machines are stomping around looking to wipe
00:34:37.940 us out.
00:34:38.680 Uh, these machines are going to look at us more as the solution than the problem because
00:34:42.760 they just suck all their energy out of us.
00:34:45.640 You know, I was reading a, um, a reading a book about energy and how all this is, is going
00:34:51.880 and, um, it will, I mean, if it's an entity that needs food, needs energy to live just like
00:35:00.980 us, you're trapped in the mountains, uh, you know, in a snowstorm and there's 20 of you
00:35:07.120 and you start dying, you're going to start eating each other.
00:35:10.480 It's just, you have to survive.
00:35:12.300 And that is what happens the same thing.
00:35:16.000 It will eat whatever will give it the energy.
00:35:19.880 Uh, I'd rather not train it to eat people or anything with to do with people.
00:35:26.660 Well, especially when you got nuclear power there and, you know, to their credit, there
00:35:29.960 are some tech guys out there who are working on, uh, advanced forms of nuclear power, clean
00:35:34.420 energy coming out of, uh, things that you can do splitting up, uh, atoms and the like.
00:35:38.480 Uh, yeah, there are risks there, but gosh, I mean, if we're going to go down this road
00:35:42.180 to any degree where we're going to need significantly more energy, uh, in order to, uh, you know,
00:35:47.180 whether it's stay ahead of China or whatever excuse you want to come up with, uh, or just,
00:35:51.840 you know, for, for the, for the sake of, uh, of, of more human flourishing, uh, imagine
00:35:56.340 that, uh, gosh, you gotta, you gotta take a look at nuclear before you start looking
00:36:01.800 at the guy sitting next to you as your source of energy.
00:36:05.200 I saw a story yesterday about, um, here in Idaho that they're shutting down the water
00:36:11.900 on because of environmental reasons.
00:36:14.400 They're shutting down the water for, I don't even remember half a million acres or, or more
00:36:19.980 of farmland here.
00:36:21.780 They're just going to shut the water off.
00:36:23.440 So all these farmers are going to lose their farmland, but coincidentally, what is also
00:36:28.720 happening at exactly the same time is they are opening up cobalt mines in Idaho and these
00:36:37.320 cobalt mines need tons of water to keep the drills cool and everything else.
00:36:42.920 And those are for batteries.
00:36:43.840 So it appears, uh, as if the state of Idaho shafted the farmers and said, forget about
00:36:53.500 the food, transfer the water to the cobalt mines so we can have batteries.
00:36:59.780 That's more important.
00:37:01.400 And nobody's tied these two together yet.
00:37:04.120 It, it, we're in trouble.
00:37:06.780 We've misplaced our values.
00:37:10.140 It's a big problem.
00:37:11.180 And you know, what else is crazy about Idaho, Glenn is right now there's some Bitcoin mining
00:37:14.620 going on in Idaho.
00:37:15.780 Now, you know, a lot of people sort of don't understand how Bitcoin works.
00:37:18.580 They're skeptical, but this is something that is still a front first rate technology that
00:37:23.020 ordinary Americans can use starting right now.
00:37:25.900 Uh, it takes, you know, maybe a minute or two to learn how to do it, but you can do it
00:37:29.180 when the Bitcoin miners take the energy that they need in order to do what they do.
00:37:34.620 Uh, legislators get upset.
00:37:36.340 Oh, I don't know.
00:37:36.960 This is using a lot of energy.
00:37:38.080 So they're looking at, uh, curbing the ability of the miners to use electricity or even charging
00:37:43.900 them more for their electrical use.
00:37:45.740 Meanwhile, when Facebook comes to town in Idaho and they say, Hey, we're building a gigantic
00:37:50.400 data center.
00:37:51.000 It's going to consume tons and tons of energy.
00:37:53.480 The legislators say, well, if you're creating jobs, we'll actually give you a tax cut.
00:37:58.020 This is how messed up our priorities are right now.
00:38:00.160 Um, I don't know if you saw, um, the godfather of AI, but, uh, Jeffrey Hinton, he's the guy
00:38:08.460 who left Google, uh, if I remember right.
00:38:11.120 And he left, he left Google because he said they were going into some unethical things and
00:38:17.160 it was becoming a real danger.
00:38:18.880 Do you remember this story?
00:38:20.740 Yeah, that's right.
00:38:21.860 Yeah.
00:38:22.120 Um, and he said, uh, he had real fear at Google that the, that AI would fall into the hands
00:38:28.740 of bad actors.
00:38:30.540 Um, he just did an interview, um, where, uh, he, he said that, um, uh, he was asked the
00:38:41.400 question here, if he was in favor of a super intelligent AI destroying humanity and replacing
00:38:48.440 it with something objectively better in terms of consciousness, he said, I'm actually for
00:38:54.220 it, but I think it'd be wiser for me to say that I'm against it.
00:38:58.520 He was then pressed on and asked him, can you elaborate?
00:39:02.560 He said, well, people don't like being replaced.
00:39:05.620 Well, yeah, no, I'm good.
00:39:08.060 He said, it's not, it's, it's, it's not clear that we're the best form of intelligence that
00:39:14.140 there is.
00:39:14.780 Obviously from a person's perspective, everything relates to people, but it may be that there
00:39:21.200 comes a point when we see things like humanist as a racist term, we're dealing with people
00:39:28.580 who are very, very smart and very, very clever, but many of these people are anti-human and
00:39:37.140 they hide behind the environmentalist thing, um, to, uh, to get away with it.
00:39:44.780 It's really diabolical.
00:39:46.380 I mean, you, if, if you're looking for a, an intelligence that's higher than human intelligence
00:39:50.520 that actually doesn't want to kill us, but in fact loves us with a love beyond human
00:39:54.640 comprehension, it's right there in the form of God, the creator.
00:39:59.360 Um, and if you reject the existence of God, then it's just really looking like these days,
00:40:04.660 only a matter of time before you reject the existence of human beings too.
00:40:07.920 I know it's not everyone.
00:40:08.980 I know there's some, some atheists out there who think that human beings are still good,
00:40:12.600 but it's looking like they're outnumbered and they're losing the battle for the soul of
00:40:17.820 the atheist, if you will.
00:40:18.980 I mean, these tech guys, some of them, they have really just, they, they do hate humanity
00:40:23.740 and they think that intelligence is, is more important than, than love.
00:40:28.040 They think the brain is more important than the heart.
00:40:30.800 And, uh, you know, it all sounds interesting when it's at the level of theory, but when you
00:40:34.560 ask them to develop it out into practice, it doesn't mean replacing humans.
00:40:38.040 It means wiping them out.
00:40:41.180 So which, which movie do you think is more likely?
00:40:45.560 I mean, I never thought the matrix, but the matrix, you know, batteries, human batteries,
00:40:52.880 and it creating a utopia, uh, in people's minds.
00:40:57.460 Or do you see us?
00:40:58.960 I mean, remember the, the beginning of, uh, Skynet and the Terminator, the first line,
00:41:05.300 I think in that movie is the machines rose from the ashes in the nuclear fire.
00:41:10.180 Um, and.
00:41:11.920 It was AI that had been used by the Pentagon and the world's war machines.
00:41:17.360 Um, and then we blew, blew ourselves up and AI decided we were the problem and started to
00:41:23.020 wipe us out. 0.90
00:41:23.660 Here we are talking about the absolute unthinkable world war three, which would end in nuclear
00:41:32.380 war and wipe almost all life off the planet.
00:41:36.400 And we are giving the keys to much of our, uh, work.
00:41:40.600 We just had a Jack car on yesterday where he was talking about, you know, he said, I, nobody
00:41:46.480 would tell me exactly, but if I talk to enough people, they're putting it all together and
00:41:50.460 you can look at it and go, Oh, we're turning the keys over, uh, to our, uh, of our killing,
00:41:57.200 uh, machines over to AI soon.
00:42:01.440 That that's not, that can't be a good thing.
00:42:04.800 Which, which movie are we, are we going towards?
00:42:09.880 It's kind of like, you know, are we brave new world or 1984?
00:42:12.860 I think we're 1984.
00:42:15.020 Are we headed more towards, uh, uh, the Terminator or the matrix?
00:42:22.840 Well, you know, we got lots of sci-fi movies to choose from.
00:42:26.380 Uh, I would, I would point toward, uh, you know, we've got sci-fi horror films that we
00:42:30.800 can look at too.
00:42:32.120 Uh, we got movies like event horizon.
00:42:33.960 We got, uh, series like, uh, like Hellraiser where the bad guys are interdimensional demons
00:42:39.160 who, uh, get summoned by human beings and, and, uh, lead them into hell.
00:42:43.480 Uh, we've got, you know, David Cronenberg, uh, Videodrome.
00:42:47.440 He's got other films, you know, that really show you that, yeah, there is that side of
00:42:51.940 technology that makes you sort of fill you with childlike wonder and, and all these promises
00:42:56.360 of flourishing beyond imagination.
00:42:58.520 Well, there's a dark side too.
00:43:00.000 And if we pretend the dark side isn't there, that's usually the, the way that, uh, we get
00:43:05.140 led astray in the worst possible way.
00:43:06.820 So is there anything that can be done, uh, going back to the first topic of using stem
00:43:13.320 cells from embryos for human brains, uh, into these organoids?
00:43:18.420 Is there, is there anything that we should be looking towards or pushing for or, or what?
00:43:26.680 Well, you know, I mean, I think number one, we got to ask ourselves some serious questions
00:43:31.020 about, uh, uh, uh, how enslaved we're going to be.
00:43:35.780 If we are always looking to China, if we look at China and say, uh, this, they're, they're 0.92
00:43:40.640 taking over, you know, we can't beat them unless we join them or we have to fight fire
00:43:44.480 with fire.
00:43:45.160 If we are constantly comparing ourselves to what the Chinese are doing, we're going to lose 1.00
00:43:49.280 touch with who we really are as Americans.
00:43:51.120 And depending on how things shake out as human beings, that's point one.
00:43:55.960 I think point two is, yeah.
00:43:57.860 Okay.
00:43:58.100 You want, you want to, to innovate on energy, look to nuclear.
00:44:01.700 Um, this is, this is not some, some bizarre new technology.
00:44:05.140 It's been around for a long time.
00:44:07.040 Uh, some countries that, you know, the French, the Japanese, yeah, they had Fukushima, but they
00:44:11.120 have tsunamis all the time.
00:44:12.260 Not a problem in most of the United States.
00:44:14.920 Uh, there are ways of doing plentiful energy that don't involve turning human beings into
00:44:19.640 these sort of Frankenstein cyborgs and using them for energy. 1.00
00:44:23.080 James, thank you so much.
00:44:24.580 Appreciate it.
