On today's show, Glenn Beck is joined by Stephen Moore, Ben Lamb, and Richard Werner, the man who coined the term "Quantitative easing." They talk about what's really going on with the tariffs, Europe, and what Trump is actually fighting that he may not know about.
00:02:52.560You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:02:54.360We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:03:00.640We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:03:05.480But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:03:08.040Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:03:11.400Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:04:21.760You know, look, Trump, one thing I've learned from Donald Trump, having worked with him for the last eight years or so, off and on, is he oftentimes, the guy is crazy like a fox.
00:04:48.400But you'll hear the media saying that the media is saying that, you know, and what I'm saying is and maybe it is a retreat, but maybe this was part of the plan all along.
00:04:57.220I mean, in terms of, you know, trying to get these countries to come to the table, negotiate and look, Glenn, you know me, I'm I'm more of a free trade guy than Trump is.
00:07:37.900And I think this is hopefully working with the rest of the world.
00:07:43.440He needs to break all the barnacles off that have just been, you know, on the hull of this ship forever now, saying, oh, well, this is the way it's going to be.
00:07:55.180He's scraping all those barnacles off and saying, no, it's not going to be that way anymore.
00:08:01.080You're either going to manage your own decline and throw in with China, or you're going to go a new direction that really only he and Malay and a few others are laying out.
00:08:14.440You know, it's so funny you should mention that, because do you know who the two most popular politicians in the world are today?
00:08:40.100I mean, these European leaders, they are so out of touch with their voters.
00:08:45.000I mean, remember the very start of the Trump revolution was when Britain was shocked that all of the majority of their people wanted out of the European Union.
00:08:55.280They said, we're not going to have these bureaucrats in Brussels tell us how we live our lives and what tea kettles we can use in our kitchen.
00:09:01.560And so these arrogant, out-of-touch, self-righteous politicians are going to be thrown out of office for pro-people and pro-working class politicians.
00:09:14.520So I think Trump has started a world revolution here.
00:30:42.700So we have to change policies at the FDIC and also at the Fed.
00:30:46.380They have to be bank-friendly and therefore small-firm-friendly and therefore employment-friendly.
00:30:50.780So if we combine the tariffs with the right monetary and banking policy, the U.S. can be hugely successful.
00:30:59.260I mean, you know, Glenn, you've got good connections.
00:31:01.120It's helped me to get to the Trump team.
00:31:07.840I'll put a word in for you, but I mean, I'm lucky to talk to the janitor.
00:31:11.260So, Richard, let me go to Europe here for a second because I think what Trump is trying to do on many of his things is to break this elite, almost World Economic Forum grip on dismantling the West.
00:31:31.200He doesn't believe in the slow decline of the West.
00:31:36.380He is looking to change directions 180 degrees.
00:31:40.100And I think that's part of what these tariffs on Europe and everything else is to say, look, we're going in a different direction.
00:31:47.460We have to go in a different direction.
00:31:50.760Does that do you read it that way or not?
00:31:52.580Well, I think that that is certainly is one possibility.
00:31:59.860And that would be, you know, that would be a good goal because Europe is really still under the thrall of, you know, World Economic Forum and the deep state.
00:32:12.500And including the U.S. deep state, you know, it's still very active in Europe.
00:32:39.720So President Trump needs to realize that he's still fighting the old enemy.
00:32:45.360But now, you know, you know, he won domestically.
00:32:48.320But, you know, the old enemy is strong in Europe and other places still where they've had their foothold through, you know, traditional military foreign bases, you know, where the U.S. army is and so on.
00:33:03.720And that explains a lot of this friction.
00:33:06.120And so, yes, in many ways, it's good that Europe sees, OK, there's going to be a change of policy.
00:33:11.740But they're just going to now, while they're still under instruction from their minders at the CIA, they're just really agitating against the United States, against Trump.
00:33:27.560They're talking about, well, we have to decouple.
00:33:30.080We can't trust America anymore at all.
00:36:02.920And so, like, when you think about Americana, you think about the bison, and you think about the bald eagle, and you think about wolves, it would be a travesty to lose these.
00:36:11.040And it's like, they've been on the endangered.
00:36:59.760Well, I just know last time the government got involved with wolves, it was at Yellowstone.
00:37:04.340And that didn't work out well for anybody.
00:37:06.780You know, rewilding works as long as it's done thoughtfully and managed.
00:37:12.000And the problem is, if sometimes people just get so overzealous on certain sides of the table that they just go out and, you know, muck with nature.
00:37:31.280At the end of the day, losing biodiversity, it should be a bipartisan issue.
00:37:37.000And we really need to save these animals.
00:37:39.900And so by doing what we're doing, though, Glenn, we're actually building technology to save animals.
00:37:44.300And so we were actually able to clone – no one's talking about this, which is crazy – we were actually able to clone four red wolves with more genetic diversity than the existing 15 that are still left in the wild.
00:37:56.600That's a 25% bump in genetic diversity that has been gone, you know, for tens – you know, for over a decade.
00:38:44.420So let me – because I – this is like everything now, especially with AI and any of this, you know, CRISPR, all of this technology, you can't stop it.
00:38:53.400You can't put it back in the bottle because others are doing it.
00:38:57.380What China is doing with this on trying to breed smarter humans, stronger humans, you know, fighters.
00:39:05.900I mean, it's the stuff of Nazi movies.
00:39:08.560That's what they've – that's actually what they've said publicly.
00:39:10.860So everything you're saying is what they've said publicly.
00:39:13.580They said that the Beijing Genomics Institute is sequencing as many humans as possible.
00:39:18.320They use COVID as this ruse to, like, pull in as many samples as possible, sequencing them.
00:39:24.620And then they said we're looking for the genes that make the smartest people, and we are going to engineer people.
00:39:30.080I mean, that's not even, like, crazy, concerned, you know, conspiracy.
00:39:48.560So we do – even though we work with the federal government, we do have this kind of moratorium that we are not working on humans, only on animals.
00:39:54.700And we won't even work on, you know, non-human primates.
00:39:58.780So we're only working on the species that are working, but we are advancing these technologies that have applications to humans, right?
00:40:04.800And, you know, we are understanding from, like, a 72,000-year-old skull what made a dire wolf bigger and stronger.
00:40:12.240It had a bigger jaw and stronger muscles and denser bones.
00:40:15.840We can now understand that with our technologies and engineer that into its closest living relative being the gray wolf, right?
00:40:22.700And so think about that same type of data applied to humans, right?
00:40:27.080I think that you can look at it as, you know, adversarial countries can advance these technologies in a way where they can look at how can we enhance humans.
00:40:34.980And so for us, I think we, as an American company that works very, very closely with the federal government, the Secretary of Interior just endorsed our work, and we work very closely with the Department of Interior.
00:40:45.080It's not necessarily an endorsement that my audience likes.
00:40:48.360You should de-emphasize that with my audience because that's not a good thing.
00:40:57.420Like, I think it's important for us to always be – you know, colossals, we're pretty bipartisan.
00:41:02.160We work with both sides, but I do think it's important to be transparent when things happen.
00:41:06.320And I think that us as America has to lead in synthetic biology, and colossal is one of the most advanced synthetic biology companies on the planet.
00:41:13.840So what is the difference between directed evolution and playing God?
00:41:22.400I think that we as humans play God quite a bit, right?
00:41:26.500And so I'll look at it from an ecosystem's perspective.
00:41:29.060When we overfish the ocean or we cut down too much of the rainforest, we are playing God on some level when we eradicate species.
00:41:36.660But now we have these tools and technologies that we can biobank species, protect them, and even bring them back, right?
00:41:44.160And I think this is going to be really helpful for how we balance progress as well as how we balance, you know, protection.
00:41:51.340And I think that we need these tools more now than ever because we could lose up to 50% of biodiversity, all life on Earth, between now and 2050.
00:42:49.760So one of the biggest things that Colossal works on is what's called multiplex editing, being able to edit multiple parts of the genome at the exact same time, right?
00:42:59.620And so that's part of what we really, really need to continue to advance because most disease states, specifically ones that drive, you know, predispositions to cancer and Alzheimer's and others, are multigenic in nature, right?
00:43:15.680And so for us, I think it's very, very important to advance those technologies so that you've probably heard about sickle cell anemia, where there's CRISPR tools and technologies that are being used to do a single knockout.
00:43:28.620But most genes or most of these states are multigenic in nature.
00:43:32.320So you have to be able to edit multiple parts of the genome.
00:43:35.180So I do think that a lot of our technologies will be beneficial long-term to helping cure inherited disease states in humans.
