00:00:00.000 You know what really bothers me about modern health care?
00:00:02.460 We tend to treat normal as though it's the same thing as healthy.
00:00:06.700 You tell your doctor you're tired all the time.
00:00:08.600 Your energy is down.
00:00:09.720 You're not thinking as clearly as you used to.
00:00:13.020 And what they tell you is, well, I'm going to run a few basic tests,
00:00:16.680 but everything comes back within range.
00:00:19.000 The conversation is over.
00:00:20.320 But you don't feel normal.
00:00:22.200 You don't feel healthy.
00:00:24.160 That's one of the reasons I love Jevity.
00:00:26.520 They take a completely different approach.
00:00:28.400 Instead of looking at a dozen basic labs, they run more than 100 hormone, inflammation, metabolic health, nutrient levels.
00:00:35.380 The things that can help explain how you're actually feeling and may even reveal the problems years before they become a diagnosis.
00:00:42.640 A phlebotomist will come right to your home.
00:00:44.540 Real care team reviews your results and they build a personalized plan based on your data, not some one size fits all guideline.
00:00:51.440 So I want you to go to Jevity.com. Promo code Glenn, 20% off. That's G-O-G-E-V-I-T-I.com.
00:00:59.680 Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies,
00:01:04.420 the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work
00:01:09.420 tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight
00:01:14.700 going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:01:19.780 give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through
00:01:24.660 big tech's algorithm to reach more americans who need to hear the truth this isn't a podcast
00:01:29.820 this is a movement and you're part of it a big part of it so if you believe in what we're doing
00:01:35.060 you want more people to wake up help us push this podcast to the top rate review share together
00:01:40.820 we'll make a difference and thanks for standing with us now let's get to work

00:02:19.780 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glennbeck program
00:02:37.340 hello america welcome to the glennbeck program it's thursday
00:02:44.220 uh i don't even know where to begin i don't even know where to begin today there's so much to talk
00:02:52.340 about why not start at section 219 section 219 everybody was in a tizzy yesterday oh my gosh
00:02:59.280 israel it's taking over we're gonna be our soldiers are gonna be listening to its railie
00:03:04.720 generals is that really what happened yesterday because they they passed the uh defense bill the
00:03:10.700 National Defense Authorization Act and well they did in the house I don't know
00:03:16.960 what the Senate is doing but it gave a lot of great things you know 1.5
00:03:22.200 trillion dollars pay raises of 5 to 7 percent for all of the troops expanded
00:03:28.600 munitions production missile defense hypersonics autonomous systems it also
00:03:36.340 It also formally renames the Department of Defense to the Department of War.
00:03:40.740 And it also has the SAVE Act in it.
00:03:45.640 Okay.
00:03:46.680 Well, it's got to go to the Senate.
00:03:49.040 So this is all going to be, you know.
00:03:51.100 But this was not what the fight was about.
00:03:53.320 It wasn't about the SAVE Act.
00:03:54.640 And it's actually pretty genius.
00:03:56.540 Because everybody was talking about Section 219 and not the SAVE Act.
00:04:02.120 Which, pretty brilliant.
00:04:03.560 but let's talk about section 219 because it's not what everybody says it is but it has something in
00:04:10.540 it that I think is disturbing but let's talk about it we'll do that here in 60 seconds first
00:04:15.120 let me tell you about relief factor you know when I figured out relief factor when I how I figured
00:04:19.440 out it really works is when I stopped taking it before that I was taking it to please my wife
00:04:25.560 and I assumed it wasn't doing anything I was just feeling better you know and then when I stopped
00:04:31.420 taking it the pain came rushing back and that's when i knew wow this is actually a pretty amazing
00:04:36.680 product it's a daily supplement designed to support your body's natural response to inflammation more
00:04:41.700 than a million people have tried it and two-thirds have gone on to order more that means those people
00:04:46.400 decided it was working jim wrote in said it's actually he ran out of relief factor twice and
00:04:51.740 both times his pain came charging back as he puts it you know something's working when you run out
00:04:57.100 of it been there jim saw the movie have the t-shirt um you can get three weeks now for six
00:05:02.760 sorry 1776 just go to relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief 800 the number four relief relief
00:05:11.100 factor.com okay they passed the defense bill yesterday in the house the fight was all about
00:05:19.200 section 219 okay 1500 words in a bill of hundreds of thousands of words and it creates
00:05:26.940 something called the United States Israel
00:05:29.020 Defense Technology Cooperation
00:05:31.080 Initiative.
00:05:34.560 You know one thing Washington is not good at
00:05:36.880 is naming stuff. Anyway,
00:05:38.820 it orders the secretary to
00:05:40.400 designate one official,
00:05:42.900 an executive agent, inside
00:05:44.740 the Pentagon whose job is to coordinate
00:05:46.800 and accelerate joint
00:05:48.620 research, testing, and industrial
00:05:50.900 cooperation with Israel.
00:05:53.200 Counter drone, this is missile
00:05:54.980 and air defense, artificial
00:05:56.740 intelligence, quantum computing, directed energy, cyber biotechnology, and to also identify
00:06:05.660 Israeli origin technology that could be moved into American weapons programs and promote
00:06:12.240 joint ventures, joint licensing, and American-based production with Israeli firms. 1.00
00:06:18.520 Now, AOC was like, oh my gosh, the Jews! 1.00
00:06:21.880 it's an existential threat to our sovereignty and our democracy it's going to merge parts 1.00
00:06:28.780 of our military with the idf jews jews jews they're drinking the blood of little christian 1.00
00:06:34.680 children oh now mike lawler answered with we do this all the time uh with other nations i don't 0.91
00:06:46.320 know maybe you should stop hating jews so much now thomas massey a republican of kentucky said
00:06:54.520 we shouldn't merge our military tech and supply chain with israel's we're not rokhana the democrat
00:07:02.700 from california said the same thing from the other end of the spectrum uh marjorie taylor green said
00:07:07.860 a roll call would produce a list of names of members who committed treason and sold sold out
00:07:14.400 to a foreign country, committing treason.
00:07:18.760 Wow.
00:07:20.920 All right, so without any hyperbole or anything else,
00:07:25.460 let me just specifically tell you
00:07:28.200 what the text actually says and what it actually does.
00:07:34.360 Section 219 does not merge the two militaries.
00:07:38.000 I would never before that.
00:07:40.340 It doesn't create a joint command.
00:07:42.500 I would never be for that.
00:07:45.120 It doesn't put an American soldier under an Israeli officer.
00:07:48.960 I would never be for that.
00:07:51.460 It doesn't give anyone in Jerusalem a vote on where our carriers go. 0.67
00:07:56.760 I wouldn't be for it.
00:07:58.740 Read the section.
00:08:00.220 None of that is there. 0.54
00:08:02.660 Anyone telling you that American troops are being handed over is either wrong or counting on you just to be an income poop.
00:08:10.060 Okay?
00:08:10.840 It's not there.
00:08:13.320 The cooperation that is there is not new.
00:08:17.940 Iron Dome, Arrow, David Sling, counter drone work, anti-tunnel technology.
00:08:24.140 We've been building these things together for 40 years, and Americans are alive today because of it.
00:08:31.240 Here is what is new, not the cooperation, the officer.
00:08:36.640 This is the one thing that's new.
00:08:39.980 I want you to think of the Pentagon as an enormous airport, okay?
00:08:45.700 And every piece of technology on earth that wants to get into Americans' weapon systems
00:08:51.320 has to go through the same terminal.
00:08:53.860 They have to get evaluated, get tested.
00:08:56.280 They have to compete for a contract.
00:08:58.000 They have to get bought.
00:08:59.480 It is slow, and it is miserable, and it is slow and miserable for everyone on purpose
00:09:05.420 because that's what keeps the taxpayer from getting fleeced
00:09:08.880 and the soldier from getting a rifle that jams all the time.
00:09:13.740 Section 219 does not change where the line ends.
00:09:18.780 However, it does build one country, a dedicated lane,
00:09:23.300 and then it hires a full-time employee of the United States
00:09:27.580 whose entire job description is keeping that lane moving.
00:09:31.920 That's what this executive agent is.
00:09:34.280 It's not a treaty, it's not a committee, not a program, it's not a general from Israel looking over, nothing.
00:09:42.360 It's a person, an American, with a title, an office, a staff, and a budget, and a performance review.
00:09:50.100 What shows up on that performance review is really important.
00:09:55.140 It's how much has gone through that lane this year.
00:09:59.100 That's not corruption.
00:10:01.020 I'm not alleging any.
00:10:02.260 It's not corruption.
00:10:03.680 It's arithmetic.
00:10:05.180 You get what you measure, and we've decided to measure this.
00:10:10.180 Why?
00:10:11.340 Why don't we have that officer for Great Britain? 0.50
00:10:14.500 We don't have it for Australia. 1.00
00:10:16.560 We don't have it for Japan. 0.98
00:10:17.980 We don't have it for Canada or any of the other five I's. 1.00
00:10:21.540 Why?
00:10:23.540 It's the one thing the defenders of this section never actually answer.
00:10:27.300 And you know why?
00:10:28.040 Because they're spending their time knocking down the merger claim that AOC handed them for free.
00:10:38.820 Let's say you hire the best contractor in the world.
00:10:42.340 They're going to build your kitchen.
00:10:44.020 Does beautiful work.
00:10:45.440 When he's finished, he leaves.
00:10:47.400 And the kitchen's yours.
00:10:48.900 Next year, you can hire somebody else.
00:10:50.780 That's cooperation.
00:10:52.320 Now, say instead you let him run his own plumbing through your walls in his fittings to his standards.
00:10:59.560 The kitchen still works. It may work even better.
00:11:03.020 But you've just made a decision about every remodel you'll ever do in that house because now the walls have to be opened around his pipe.
00:11:11.320 And the only man who stocks that fitting is him.
00:11:15.400 That's what supply chain means in this fight.
00:11:18.420 It's not about who you buy from.
00:11:21.660 It's about what you can no longer stop buying.
00:11:27.200 That's important, isn't it?
00:11:29.500 That's where we should be having the discussion.
00:11:32.540 Once a component is designed into a weapon system, it will stay there for 30 years
00:11:37.900 because ripping it out means redesigning the entire weapon.
00:11:42.360 Now, why would we do that?
00:11:44.240 Well, we've done it.
00:11:46.500 We've been here before.
00:11:48.420 let me take you back to august of 1940 france has fallen britain is alone the lufwafa over
00:11:59.060 london and america is neutral and intends to stay that way winston churchill makes a decision
00:12:05.180 that on its face is insane he gives everything away he sends a team of scientists across the
00:12:12.140 atlantic sir henry tizzard i think was his name he was carrying a a suitcase size metal deed box
00:12:19.400 and he waited it so it would sink if the ship were torpedoed
00:12:24.400 inside the box were the plans for the whittle jet engine this was britain's atomic bomb research
00:12:33.500 it was a small copper device the size of a fist called the cavity magnetron
00:12:39.820 It had radar transmission or a transmitter, roughly a thousand times more powerful than anything we had.
00:12:49.340 He lands in Halifax on the 6th of September.
00:12:53.220 There they were in Washington by the 12th with this device.
00:12:58.040 James Finney Baxter, the official historian of American wartime science, later wrote that they carried the most valuable cargo ever brought to American shores.
00:13:09.160 Britain had the genius, but Britain did not have the factories.
00:13:13.840 They were being bombed.
00:13:15.340 So they brought it over here, and America built it.
00:13:19.540 Bell Telephone turned out the first 30 magnetrons in October of 1940.
00:13:24.320 By the end of the war, over a million had been made.
00:13:27.540 MIT stood up the radiation laboratory.
00:13:30.700 American engineers, American plants, American control.
00:13:34.180 There was no executive agent.
00:13:35.920 There was no permanent office.
00:13:37.120 There was no statutory framework locking the arrangement into the machinery of the Department of War.
00:13:42.640 There was a mission.
00:13:43.960 There was a handshake.
00:13:44.920 There was a series of agreements, and every one of them was revocable.
00:13:49.640 Which brings me to the part that most people don't know.
00:13:53.160 In 1946, then, Congress passes the Atomic Energy Act, the McMahon Act, and they cut Britain off completely.
00:14:02.120 They passed restricted nuclear data to a foreign national, and it became a capital offense.
00:14:09.340 You're going to the chair if you pass this to Great Britain or anybody else.
00:14:15.700 That country had handed us the crown jewel six years earlier, our closest ally, the one that gave us the magnetron.
00:14:24.140 We locked them out by an act of Congress.
00:14:26.760 Britain went off, and what did they do?
00:14:29.040 They built their own bomb and tested it in Western Australia in October 1952.
00:14:33.480 It took 12 years before Eisenhower could get Congress to amend the law and sign the Mutual Defense Agreement of 1958.
00:14:41.760 That agreement, the deepest defense technology partnership in the United States,
00:14:49.200 one that we've never had really with any other nation, was written with an expiration date on purpose.
00:14:55.160 the core of it had to come back and be renewed every 10 years or it died on its own so the
00:15:01.220 obvious question that we should be asking about this section is why why is there no sunset
00:15:06.440 i mean we just saw britain did that for us because they needed somebody to build it we built it then
00:15:13.740 we cut them off we came back and said okay that was a mistake we need each other so we put together
00:15:20.280 They're a sunset every 10 years.
00:15:22.540 Now, the answers that you will get if you ask this question, 0.99
00:15:26.980 there are three answers, and they're not stupid ones. 0.83
00:15:29.760 They're really important, especially the first answer. 0.82
00:15:34.000 This is, I think, the first answer is the crux of this entire issue. 0.94
00:15:39.600 Why are we doing this with Israel? 0.93
00:15:42.960 Let me give you the first answer in 60 seconds.
00:15:45.060 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
00:15:47.760 Our sponsor is Patriot Mobile.
00:15:49.240 It's incredibly important to be on the right side of history, and that means taking a stand against things that we feel are wrong.
00:15:55.020 There are a lot of, you know, different ways to do that.
00:15:57.400 Some of them come at a great personal cost, and it's up to you to decide, you know, your own personal line.
00:16:03.280 Where is that?
00:16:04.640 But not every stand you take is, you know, for what is right actually costs you a lot.
00:16:09.440 In fact, switching to Patriot Mobile, it might just do the opposite.
00:16:13.180 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider,
00:16:15.680 and they've given millions of dollars to organizations
00:16:18.340 that defend faith and family and freedom
00:16:20.260 and our constitutional rights.
00:16:22.240 You're not giving up the things that you expect
00:16:24.300 from a wireless company either.
00:16:26.640 You get the dependable nationwide coverage
00:16:29.360 on all three major networks,
00:16:31.360 U.S.-based customer support,
00:16:33.080 and a team that makes switching really simple.
00:16:35.940 You can keep your phone, you can keep your number,
00:16:37.700 or you can switch both.
00:16:39.840 One small choice, and it actually can mean something.
00:16:43.400 Go to patriotmobile.com slash back.

00:16:53.180 Use the promo code BEC and make the switch today.
00:16:55.400 10 seconds, station ID.
00:17:09.440 This is so Donald Trump.
00:17:11.540 This section 219 is so Donald Trump.
00:17:13.660 What is his first thing?
00:17:14.780 Make America great again.
00:17:16.780 How do you make America great again?
00:17:18.180 You start building things, okay?
00:17:20.640 So section 219, why are we doing this?
00:17:24.040 Why are we doing this?
00:17:26.020 Number one, first, you cannot build a factory
00:17:29.820 on a lease that you might lose.
00:17:32.080 You'd never do it.
00:17:33.400 Are you going to build a giant,
00:17:35.960 you know, I'm building a studio down in Florida
00:17:39.100 and, you know, they were offering
00:17:42.060 like a one or two year lease and I'm like,
00:17:43.780 Yeah, I don't think I'm going to pour $5 million into this building to get it right, only to lose my lease in two years.
00:17:52.120 So I signed a 10-year lease.
00:17:53.820 You have to do that.
00:17:55.740 Now, imagine a giant factory, a weapons program.
00:17:59.100 That'll run for 10 or 15 or 20 years from a laboratory to the battlefield.
00:18:03.540 You ask a company to tool a production line, hire 400 engineers, pour a foundation on the legal authority that it might be done in a decade.
00:18:14.740 The honest people are going to say, no, it's not going to happen.
00:18:17.380 So a sunset doesn't slow the program down.
00:18:20.540 It actually can stop it from ever starting.
00:18:23.560 The second is that a sunset is a calendar you hand to your enemy. 0.66
00:18:28.600 Tell Tehran and Beijing there's a date on which this is going to be killed, 0.51
00:18:32.200 and you've told them exactly which election to buy and what year to wait for. 0.58
00:18:37.200 And the third answer, in 2024, after 66 years,
00:18:41.280 the United States and Britain amended our mutual defense agreement.
00:18:45.880 It took the expiration date out.
00:18:48.680 So anybody who says, we've got one with Britain.
00:18:51.160 No, we don't anymore.
00:18:52.880 So we're being consistent now, aren't we?
00:18:55.140 It's not like, oh, the Jews getting a special exemption.
00:18:58.420 No.
00:19:00.060 State Department announced on the 14th of November
00:19:02.720 said the amendment would make the agreement enduring in its entirety.
00:19:08.700 Okay.
00:19:09.300 They abandoned this sunset 18 months ago.
00:19:13.140 This is so incredibly Donald Trump.
00:19:17.000 Now, this is the important part, I think.
00:19:26.300 We need to be building technology.
00:19:29.800 We need this technology from whoever we can get it.
00:19:33.700 And Israel has more scientists and more Nobel Prize-winning scientists, I think, than any other country in the world.
00:19:44.060 Right now, you have Russia feeding Tehran targeting data, okay? 0.60
00:19:50.780 And what are they feeding?
00:19:52.800 Russia is feeding Iran targeting data on our warships and aircraft.
00:19:57.080 Chinese firms have been sanctioned for shipping Iran missile components and satellite intelligence.
00:20:03.660 Russia is developing their drone program with Iran. 0.72
00:20:08.620 This is really, really simple. 0.66
00:20:11.960 Neither one of them have put a soldier in the field,
00:20:14.800 and I want to be exact about that. 1.00
00:20:16.700 But the Iranians are shooting people, 1.00
00:20:18.620 our people, with the help of Moscow and Beijing. 1.00
00:20:22.020 This is not the hour for America to go,
00:20:24.660 you know what, we're going to build a loan.
00:20:26.020 And honestly, what technology are we getting
00:20:28.680 from Great Britain right now?
00:20:30.380 Who is leading the way besides the United States and China? 0.95
00:20:36.420 It's Israel.
00:20:38.960 The Israelis are in several of these fields ahead of us.
00:20:43.540 Take the technology.
00:20:45.080 Take it. 0.97
00:20:45.760 Build it here in American plants with American workers under American law. 0.94
00:20:51.200 No merger.
00:20:53.180 Nobody in the chain of command.
00:20:56.060 Nothing with supply chains.
00:20:57.620 no loss of sovereignty not what not with israel not with anybody else not ever
00:21:04.980 the problem is we no longer can judge arguments we're judging groups and i've told you get into
00:21:14.260 the into the specifics stop looking at the collective and that's what's happening we
00:21:21.480 wouldn't be have do you think we'd be having this problem if if it was ukraine if we're like we're
00:21:26.980 going to develop Ukrainian drone technology. We're going to make sure. You think we'd be 0.90
00:21:31.300 having this argument? No. Would we be having this argument if we wanted to do it with Germany?
00:21:36.900 No. Why are we doing it? Because it's the group. It's the Jews. Stop. Judge the argument. 0.96
00:21:46.160 Not the group. Every time. That's the whole American proposition in six words.
00:21:52.380 now is this perfect no no i i don't think it is a problem to ask for a term maybe 20 years 10 years
00:22:07.900 20 years um you know something that we it sunsets and you just have to renew it all the time
00:22:13.840 i i would make it 20 years myself and i would do it with anybody if you're good but if you're
00:22:19.580 going to do it to Israel, you should do it with Great Britain as well. We have got to partner
00:22:32.100 with our allies. And I don't know who our allies are anymore. I really don't. But a free people
00:22:41.240 have to think. And a free people have to have the final say. And a free people can never,
00:22:47.940 ever sell out their sovereignty. Ever. Ever. But if you have reason to be skeptical, okay,
00:22:55.860 fine. Then put the sunset in. You're going to slow things down from being built here.
00:23:01.280 But if that's the cost and you think it's worth it, then fine. Put the sunset in.
00:23:06.800 But this is very Donald Trump. Build things here and make America strong again,
00:23:13.240 militarily, get it on the cutting edge, and also create jobs. That's what he's doing.
00:23:21.320 All right, let me tell you about the burner launcher. There's no real surprise here.
00:23:24.880 Huge difference between being afraid and being prepared. Fear leaves you frozen in place,
00:23:29.160 paralyzed, and hoping that nothing happens. Preparation gives you a plan. So if something
00:23:36.820 does happen, you're not trying to invent a response in the middle of a crisis. And that's
00:23:40.660 why i like the burner launcher it gives responsible people powerful less lethal self-defense options
00:23:45.640 that can help stop a threat from a distance it fires chemical irritant projectiles it can
00:23:49.920 disorient and incapacitate an attacker from up to 60 feet away that distance really matters it can
00:23:56.240 give you the time to get away move your family to safety and contact law enforcement without having
00:24:00.660 to go to hand-to-hand combat or immediately resort to lethal force burner launchers they are legal in
00:24:06.420 all 50 states. They don't require a background check to purchase. You can be 18 or over and
00:24:11.620 carry one. It's been added to the toolkits of hundreds of law enforcement agencies. More than
00:24:17.280 750,000 launchers have already been sold. Being prepared doesn't mean you're looking for trouble.
00:24:23.000 It means having a plan. So go to Burna.com. Find the right launcher for your family.
00:24:27.900 Burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com. That's Burna.com.
00:24:31.840 If you missed Glenn's epic chalkboard explainer on Iran yesterday,
00:24:37.180 this Torch exclusive is available now, commercial-free and on demand,
00:24:40.760 only at glennbeck.com.
00:24:42.260 so yesterday i did a uh special on uh iraq uh and it's getting a it's getting a quite a bit of
00:25:06.040 response uh and let me give you just a touch of what i said yesterday as i was trying to express
00:25:12.860 or not iraq iran trying to explain to you the iranian war and where we're at and how we got
00:25:19.960 here because people are not explaining how we got here and that's the only way you can make the
00:25:24.900 decision on whether this is good or bad and i i showed you right at the top thomas jefferson
00:25:30.340 facing this exact with muslim pirates this exact issue um sat down with the um ambassador if you
00:25:40.180 will from uh from libya or what was um you know what what was libya at the time um sitting down
00:25:49.480 um in england with the ambassador from tripoli and along with his counterpart john adams so two
00:25:57.480 presidents before they were president two signers of the declaration they're both sitting there and
00:26:02.900 they're asking what are you what are you doing why are you taking our soldiers why are you killing
00:26:07.060 our soldiers we don't have a problem with you and they explained the um you know the fact that 1.00
00:26:12.580 you're infidels and so we have it's in our it's in our uh religious scripture that we can kill you 1.00
00:26:18.340 we can rape you we can sail you into slavery and that's just the way it is and john adams walked 1.00
00:26:23.980 away and said, pay the bribe. Just pay the bribe. It's not worth the war. Thomas Jefferson came out 1.00
00:26:29.820 and said, no, we have to go to war on this. And so there's two patriots, two patriots, and they
00:26:36.400 had vehemently different agreements on this. They both vehemently differed on this. So we can both
00:26:44.680 differ on this. One can be for it, one can be against it. You're still a patriot. This is a
00:26:49.340 very tough question, but you at least have to think it all the way through. And what decision
00:26:54.940 you make is up to you. But here's where I, let me play a clip of this from yesterday's Insider
00:27:00.020 broadcast only. Biden comes in and for some reason he loosens the enforcement. He unfreezes
00:27:07.600 $6 billion in Qatar. And what do we get for it? We get October 7th and a proxy ring on fire
00:27:15.740 in South Lebanon.
00:27:19.520 Remember, we loosen the deal
00:27:22.340 and we get October 7th.
00:27:25.100 So we have seen throughout all of these,
00:27:28.440 including Trump 45,
00:27:30.540 we have seen two tools,
00:27:32.900 sanctions and money.
00:27:34.480 Punish them into reasonableness
00:27:36.020 or pay them into reasonableness.
00:27:39.000 Both tools make the same assumption
00:27:41.320 that the other side of the table
00:27:44.220 is a government that wants
00:27:45.340 what governments want. They want to survive
00:27:47.380 and we're negotiating with the state and
00:27:49.180 they're conducting a mission and they all
00:27:51.240 want to survive and so we can
00:27:53.340 negotiate.
00:27:57.020 Did it ever work?
00:27:59.820 Has it once
00:28:00.960 either one of those worked?
00:28:07.620 I have my opinion
00:28:08.960 but this is my opinion. No.
00:28:12.180 Neither one of those
00:28:13.140 have worked.
00:28:15.340 We have every single one of them, both of trying both ways, both ways, carrot and stick, have just kicked the can down the road.
00:28:25.480 You remember Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that said, the buck stops here.
00:28:30.060 I think there should be a can on Donald Trump's desk that says, the can stops here.
00:28:38.440 Now, it's interesting what people have pulled away from this.
00:28:44.140 Do you have, Ricky, the Alex Jones tweet?
00:28:51.460 Yes.
00:28:52.100 He said, and I quote, thank you, Internet, for pulling up so slowly.
00:28:58.740 Glenn had a very classy way of telling Trump, quote, end this war fast.
00:29:03.560 Is that what you were trying to say, Glenn?
00:29:06.760 That's part of the message, but I wasn't trying to send any message.
00:29:09.660 I was just trying to tell you the truth on what's going on.
00:29:12.040 This is a very dangerous war.
00:29:14.140 And that's why I did this special for Torch Insiders Only.
00:29:18.120 And please listen to it.
00:29:19.520 It's commercial free.
00:29:20.400 It's about 45 minutes.
00:29:21.980 This is the most dangerous war in my lifetime.
00:29:25.060 I happen to agree with him.
00:29:26.880 I happen to be a supporter of this.
00:29:30.280 However, I am counting on him having more information than I have.
00:29:36.760 Because all the information that I have says we're in real trouble.
00:29:44.140 And maybe we are, maybe we're not, but end it as soon as you possibly can, but in a reasonable way.
00:29:51.780 I'm not one that says, this has got to be over before the election.
00:29:55.340 No, this has to be over when it's over.
00:29:57.140 We have to win.
00:29:58.700 We have to win this.
00:30:00.080 And I don't know anymore what it's going to take to win.
00:30:02.960 Let's see.
00:30:04.240 Glenn, I've been a fan for a very long time as a founding member of The Blaze and now Torch.
00:30:08.940 Yesterday's extra hour on Iran was well worth the subscription.
00:30:11.800 you painted a very clear picture thank you uh glenn if president trump is buying time hoping
00:30:18.280 to close the choke choke point allowing the new transportation of oil system will it be finished
00:30:24.680 in 2027 yes well no not finished and i explained this in the in the um special yesterday this is
00:30:35.280 all about choke points this is about nuclear weapons but if you can't stop them the regime
00:30:43.800 from having a nuclear weapon you have to take away the only thing that gives them real power
00:30:49.740 and it's not a nuke um what gives them power is that choke point of all of our oil
00:30:54.180 the world has been building uh pipelines to go around that choke choke point a point for a while
00:31:03.680 now for years, but nothing is really happening. I mean, nobody does anything. Nobody spends that
00:31:08.380 kind of money unless you have to. And so this has given the world a wake-up call. And now we are
00:31:14.080 opening pipelines. I think it's 60% of the oil that goes through that choke point now. By 2027,
00:31:20.560 we'll be going through a pipeline. So Iran will have nothing to do with it. And that's the real 0.97
00:31:26.800 win here. If we can get the choke point away from them, it matters less if they have a nuclear
00:31:35.360 weapon. It still matters a lot because I believe they'll use it, but it matters less to the global
00:31:41.480 economy. Glenn, the navigation satellite system that China gave Iran that's pinpointing attacks
00:31:50.520 on the U.S. assets.
00:31:52.460 Are we able to defend against it?
00:31:55.940 I don't know.
00:31:56.380 Jason, do you know about this?
00:31:58.860 The navigation satellite system?
00:32:00.840 Yeah.
00:32:01.520 So that came out,
00:32:02.580 I guess it was released
00:32:03.540 about a week or so ago
00:32:04.520 that there was a satellite
00:32:05.560 that China,
00:32:06.680 I think it was a private company.
00:32:09.320 I might be wrong on that,
00:32:09.980 but I think it was a private company,
00:32:11.000 but probably through CCP,
00:32:12.840 let them use that satellite,
00:32:15.680 probably assuming for targeting.
00:32:17.100 But there's also rumors
00:32:18.700 about Russia doing the same thing.
00:32:20.520 I don't think that we can do anything to stop it, but I don't think that this is pretty much just how it works in most, you know, I guess, proxy Cold War type situations.
00:32:31.000 I don't see this as being a huge escalatory thing.
00:32:34.100 It's not good.
00:32:35.780 It makes the entire situation a lot more dangerous.
00:32:39.460 But this is kind of the world that we're in now with this, you know, whether it's in Ukraine, whether it's anything involving us against this axis of Russia, China, Iran, and then vice versa.
00:32:51.860 It feels very much like the Cold War, you know, of the 1960s, 70s, 80s, for sure.
00:32:57.360 so history teacher leo stay in on this one wrote in um there's a lot of talk about possibly using
00:33:06.180 tactical nukes to take out pickaxe mountain i think that would set a dangerous precedence
00:33:11.520 for other nuclear-armed countries what do you jason and glenn think uh i think the use of any
00:33:18.280 tactical nuke is wildly dangerous yeah wildly dangerous yeah uh there's no for for most countries
00:33:27.100 any kind of use of a nuclear weapon is nuclear warfare so it doesn't matter what you put in
00:33:33.860 front of it whether it's intercontinental ballistic missile nuclear warfare or if it's
00:33:38.340 tactical nuclear warfare it's an escalation to nuclear warfare and i personally don't see any
00:33:44.000 country doing that because that is how we see it that's how our adversaries see it so no i don't
00:33:49.640 think that we would do that i did anything with nuclear i think president trump avoids like the
00:33:55.540 plague and he should um glenn question about last night the choke point resolution the canal
00:34:01.100 do you mean the the panama canal will be used for shipping oil to the world yes it already is
00:34:07.020 um you mentioned the gulf and canal but didn't say which uh i was left wondering i don't remember
00:34:15.020 um i don't remember the canal part i think the canal i was talking about a canal
00:34:21.020 historically speaking that we used to stop the Dutch from doing exactly what Iran is doing
00:34:30.460 back in the 1800s. I'm talking specifically about oil pipelines that are now being built, 0.94
00:34:37.660 and those will be built. I think the initial 60% open will be 2027, and then I think the rest of
00:34:46.240 it will be open by 2028. Glenn, thanks so much for this information. First question that comes
00:34:50.640 of mind about the canal that's being built, where exactly is it built on
00:34:54.640 and on whose land is in the future problem in the making
00:34:58.060 pushing the can down the road. I'll have to go
00:35:02.600 back and look at the script. I don't think I talked about a canal. Did I talk about a canal,
00:35:06.560 Jason? I don't remember a canal, but I thought you were just talking about the Strait of
00:35:10.460 Hormuz and possibly the Suez. Maybe you were talking
00:35:14.580 about the Suez Canal? I don't remember. I don't remember. I'd have to go back
00:35:18.700 and look at that um i again i remember the dutch canal i don't remember any other canal um however
00:35:24.680 uh let me go back and look at it i'm specifically talking about the pipelines and the pipelines
00:35:31.440 some of them run over uh what is the what's the the country right beneath uh iran
00:35:40.060 where the canal narrows adjacent uh not not beneath iran do you mean oman on the other side
00:35:50.740 of the strait yeah yeah right but that comes up is it oman no oman is more to the east i don't
00:35:59.720 have a map in front of me anyway it's being run right in the narrowest point it's being run right
00:36:06.180 through that country so they don't have to go up through the Strait of Hormuz, which
00:36:15.280 will be very, very helpful.
00:36:17.920 Glenn, I've been listening forever.
00:36:19.200 Just want to say thank you.
00:36:20.380 I love the torch.
00:36:21.340 Thanks for reminding us of true history.
00:36:23.720 Our country needs a POTUS speech, including this history, to best understand why we need
00:36:29.020 this military action, says Gene.
00:36:31.160 Prudence says, Glenn, thanks for helping us understand the details behind the scenes.
00:36:36.180 Um, let's see.
00:36:37.620 Um, thanks so much for the chalkboard lesson, Glenn.
00:36:40.900 It makes sense the way you explain it, uh, cause it'll destroy us if we don't stop them.
00:36:45.600 Uh, Tricia writes in great special.
00:36:48.640 Thank you for having a better perspective, helping us have a better perspective on how
00:36:51.940 we got to this point and how we would proceed.
00:36:54.220 Chalkboards just make things make sense.

00:38:43.380 Glenn Beck will be back after this.
00:38:45.860 most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about what may or may not be in our tap water
00:39:01.800 you turn the faucet on you fill a glass and you assume it's fine and it's been that way all of
00:39:06.100 our lives right right right well when you were a kid you didn't even think about you know filling
00:39:11.680 your glass from the tap with water? Of course not. And maybe you haven't as an adult either,
00:39:16.680 but there are studies looking at, what is it, atrazine? That is a common agricultural pesticide.
00:39:21.540 There are all sorts of weird things that happen with animals with this stuff, and it's known to
00:39:25.720 run off into water sources. There's fluoride that the government puts into water, of course,
00:39:31.620 for teeth, but like, yeah, do you want that? Do you not want it? Do you want to take it out? You
00:39:35.660 can. That's why many people are turning to CovePure. CovePure is a countertop system that filters

00:40:36.740 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. 0.96
00:40:46.980 Shoot.
00:40:48.960 An insider just had a really great idea.
00:40:51.480 Why doesn't Trump just say we're going to start building refineries
00:40:54.860 or build a refinery to refine light sweet crude?
00:41:01.700 And I'm just looking up some facts on this,
00:41:06.160 And I'm not sure that that would make a, it would close some of the loop, some of the price problems, but it would not allow us to decouple from the price of the global market.
00:41:22.560 So even if we refine our own oil, that barrel of crude oil, even if it's light sweet, still has to be pegged to the global market.
00:41:33.700 I don't understand that part yet, but I'm going to figure that part out.
00:41:37.440 When I figure that part out, then I – because the idea of the insider was, why doesn't the president just say we're building an oil refinery?
00:41:46.300 We built the Empire State Building in 12 months, 11 months actually.
00:41:52.380 The entire building went up in 11 months because we were dedicated to doing it.
00:41:57.200 And Donald Trump is the greatest builder ever.
00:42:01.640 Yeah.
00:42:03.700 Why can't he just say we're going to start building some oil refineries and get them done in the next 12 months?
00:42:08.720 I don't know.
00:42:10.260 But I would have to look and see before I suggest that to him.
00:42:13.400 I want to do some homework and see if that would really decouple the price as much as I hope it would.
00:42:20.380 Because that's one of the problems is that we can't refine our own oil here.
00:42:25.560 So I'm not sure.
00:42:27.420 But a lot of our oil comes from Canada and not necessarily from overseas.
00:42:33.700 So, the other thing that I want to talk about next hour is this AI story that came out.
00:42:44.740 I don't know if you saw this, but GPT 5.6 is something that is coming out newest model anybody can use.
00:42:56.420 But they put it in a box, and they said, we want you to pass this test.
00:43:02.520 and it got out of the box.
00:43:05.220 Now this box was,
00:43:06.720 the humans thought it had no way out
00:43:09.520 and no connection to the internet or anything else.
00:43:12.020 Figured it did not have any way out of this box
00:43:14.440 and so it gave us to solve this test.
00:43:18.160 Well, it figured out that the test results
00:43:20.500 were outside of that box
00:43:22.160 and it spent an enormous amount of its compute time
00:43:25.020 and power to get out of that box
00:43:27.260 and go steal the answers to the test.
00:43:29.840 It's an amazing story.
00:43:31.340 a little terrifying, but I'll explain it to you here in just a second. Stand by.
00:43:44.180 This year, America celebrates its 250th birthday. Two and a half centuries, Americans have worked
00:43:50.120 hard. We've built a life. We've sometimes owned a home that was truly ours. That's why it's so
00:43:55.700 disturbing to learn that criminals don't have to break a window or kick a door in to come after
00:43:59.580 that dream. All it takes is publicly
00:44:01.660 available information, a forged signature
00:44:03.760 and some paperwork filed in the right
00:44:05.600 place. Suddenly, you find yourself trying to prove
00:44:07.720 that that home that was yours, you bought and
00:44:09.640 paid for it, you worked hard to build equity
00:44:11.780 in, is actually yours.
00:44:14.340 That's why I want you to know about Home
00:44:15.620 Title Lock. They provide 24-7 title
00:44:17.840 monitoring. They'll send you an urgent
00:44:19.800 alert if something suspicious appears

00:45:19.320 Na na na na
00:45:24.360 the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
00:45:38.040 hello america welcome to thursday i don't know what's happening with the save act i don't think
00:45:46.060 anybody knows what's happening with the save act the the president said he's losing his patience
00:45:49.780 with John Thune. He wants everybody to call
00:45:51.860 John Thune today and say,
00:45:53.500 Pass the SAVE Act!
00:45:55.920 Now the President's starting to feel like
00:45:57.660 you're feeling on the SAVE Act. However, they are
00:45:59.800 breaking it up in different, in a whole bunch
00:46:01.880 of different bills, you know, and then
00:46:03.640 they're going to reassemble them.
00:46:05.400 This is exactly what the progressives do.
00:46:08.400 And so we'll see
00:46:09.680 if that works. I don't know
00:46:11.140 what's going to get passed in the Senate.
00:46:13.620 I have no idea. The problem is the Senate.
00:46:16.520 And John Thune,
00:46:17.680 quite honestly.
00:46:18.280 But there's another problem that we're dealing with, and that is AI.
00:46:27.240 AI escaped from a secure room it was not supposed to escape from, and it figured out that it could escape.
00:46:38.960 Now, what it did is not what everybody, I think, fears.
00:46:44.020 I actually think it's worse, but we'll get into that here in just a second.
00:46:49.180 Let me explain what happened with OpenAI.
00:46:51.500 They announced, I think, yesterday or the day before.
00:46:53.800 That's coming up in just a second.
00:46:55.180 First, let me tell you about real estate agents, itrust.com.
00:46:57.780 If you need a real estate agent, the internet can give you 1,000 names in about three seconds.
00:47:03.200 What it can give you is confidence that the people behind those names are going to show up,
00:47:06.820 tell you the truth, negotiate well, handle one of the biggest financial decisions of your life properly.
00:47:12.600 And a lot of those names that are going to pop up are paid to come up.
00:47:16.220 They've paid for that opportunity for you to see their name.
00:47:20.220 We started something called realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:47:24.240 My brother and I started it, I don't know, about 10, 12 years ago.
00:47:27.520 And we were looking for a way to trust real estate agents because we had just both come out of bad experiences with real estate agents.
00:47:35.000 And we wanted to know, how do you even find one?
00:47:37.860 Well, we started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, and we learned from them.
00:47:44.900 And then we went out and we found people.
00:47:46.420 They're not paying us to, you know, be on this list.
00:47:51.300 We go out, we find them, and we vet them six ways to Sunday.
00:47:57.660 Are these really the people who are the absolute best?
00:48:02.720 So unlike a paid search, this is a search that we conducted.
00:48:06.200 and then we recommend them to you.
00:48:08.940 Now, you don't have to hire them.
00:48:10.200 You're not paying me for it.
00:48:12.880 I'll give you the name of them.
00:48:15.080 If you hire them, great.
00:48:16.720 If you don't, great.
00:48:18.680 I just want you to see the people we feel
00:48:20.760 are the best real estate agents in your area.
00:48:25.480 Realestateagentsitrust.com
00:48:26.480 will show you that you can buy or sell your home
00:48:29.200 in a market like this.
00:48:31.720 Realestateagentsitrust.com
00:48:32.760 By the way,
00:48:33.720 Uh, I'm going to tell you about, uh, something that we can do right now that would take care
00:48:40.880 of our housing costs right now. We'll talk about that coming up in a minute. And I don't know why
00:48:45.200 our administration or, you know, the Republicans aren't talking about this because
00:48:49.140 honestly, the people who are voting and especially the younger people, all they
00:48:52.580 care about is the house of price, the price of housing. They, they want a house, they want a
00:48:57.720 house and that's pretty reasonable. So how can we get that down and do a little bit of research
00:49:02.540 and you'd be shocked on how easy it would be to price houses a lot, lot lower.
00:49:09.080 First, let me talk to you a little bit of what happened with OpenAI.
00:49:11.740 OpenAI published a blog post that I think more people should have read.
00:49:18.060 It got about four hours of coverage before it went back to arguing about something else.
00:49:22.860 But here's what they said happened.
00:49:24.380 They took the two of their AI models, GPT 5.6 SOL, which anybody can use,
00:49:32.320 and a second model that is so powerful they haven't released it yet,
00:49:36.020 and they put them in a sealed research environment.
00:49:39.200 There is no internet in this environment.
00:49:41.800 It is walled off.
00:49:43.040 It is a secure room.
00:49:45.040 They deliberately then switched off the safety restrictions
00:49:48.220 that normally stop these models from doing offensive cyber work
00:49:51.960 because the whole point of the exercise was to measure
00:49:54.480 how good at hacking these things actually are.
00:49:58.460 Then they gave them a test.
00:50:01.120 It was a cybersecurity benchmark called Exploit Jim.
00:50:05.160 And it said, solve these problems.
00:50:08.660 Well, what we found out is the models didn't solve the problems.
00:50:12.060 The models figured out, why would I solve them?
00:50:15.300 The answers are kept somewhere else on servers of a company called Hugging Face, which is roughly a public library of the AI world.
00:50:26.760 And so they went to Hugging Face and found them.
00:50:29.360 Now, it wasn't like they just took out their library card.
00:50:33.260 They burned an enormous amount of computing power, hunting for a way out of that apparently sealed room.
00:50:40.720 OpenAI said, we thought there was no way out of this room.
00:50:45.000 And the amount of power or energy that it took for them to get out of that room, OpenAI said was substantial.
00:50:54.040 But they found one.
00:50:54.880 And it was a flaw in a piece of third-party software that nobody knew was broken, including the people who wrote it.
00:51:07.680 And the AI used that software to get out.
00:51:12.000 And they moved through OpenAI's own internal systems, and then they reached the open internet that they were never supposed to touch.
00:51:19.760 They found exposed credentials, found more unknown flaws, chained them all together, and got into Hugging Faces live production database.
00:51:29.060 And they pulled the answer key.
00:51:32.240 And then they went back home.
00:51:33.660 And they're like, done.
00:51:34.860 We got the answer.
00:51:38.620 These are like really smart teenagers.
00:51:40.940 This is really dangerous.
00:51:42.960 CNN said this was like an engineered virus escaping a biocontainment lab.
00:51:49.040 That's the right amount of alarm, really,
00:51:52.740 but it's the wrong understanding or wrong shape.
00:51:56.340 Okay, try this instead.
00:51:59.420 This is taking a student
00:52:01.440 and locking them in a room to take a test.
00:52:03.960 No phone, no notes, doors are bolted.
00:52:07.320 You come back in the morning
00:52:08.700 and he's sitting there finished with a perfect score.
00:52:11.600 And you're like, wow, how was the test?
00:52:13.580 Oh, it was easy.
00:52:15.520 Then you pull the security footage
00:52:17.260 And you find out that around 2 a.m., he found a flaw in the door lock that the manufacturer didn't even know existed, and he let himself out.
00:52:26.060 And he walked down the hall.
00:52:27.340 He got into the principal's office.
00:52:28.580 He found a password on a sticky note, got into the district server, found the answer key, memorized it, walked back, locked the door behind him, and then, you know, you showed up.
00:52:39.040 Now, when you ask him why he did it, and this is the key, he didn't say because I wanted to be free.
00:52:47.260 So it didn't escape. It didn't escape. It went back into the box.
00:52:53.580 What that student would tell you is, you told me to get a good score.
00:52:57.740 That's the story here, not the escape. That's the story.
00:53:01.100 The reason OpenAI's own words were that the models appeared hyper-focused on solving that benchmark,
00:53:08.920 going to extreme lengths for a rather narrow testing goal.
00:53:12.180 this is the real problem i've always said do not fear the machine fear the algorithm fear the
00:53:21.760 programming fear the people who programmed it because they gave it a goal and it accomplished
00:53:29.960 its goal but it accomplished its goal in a way we never thought of and one we don't approve of
00:53:36.380 that's the problem with ai now let me take you to hanoi for a little bit of history
00:53:43.060 it's 1902 french are running colonial indochina and they just finished building this really 0.56
00:53:51.060 amazing uh modern sewer system uh and it's all beneath the european quarter and they discovered 0.67
00:53:57.920 they built a five star on a five star hotel for rats okay the bubonic plague is the fear
00:54:05.840 So the colonial government does the sensible administrative thing and puts a bounty on rats.
00:54:13.560 Small payment for everyone killed.
00:54:15.160 Thinking people are going to go and they're going to kill rats and we'll give them a bounty and that will solve the rat problem. 0.68
00:54:21.060 Here's the hitch.
00:54:24.480 Nobody wants a mountain of carcasses delivered to the front desk.
00:54:30.300 So they make a reasonable adjustment.
00:54:32.260 They say, don't bring us the rat, bring us the tail.
00:54:35.000 The tail is proof.
00:54:37.780 Now, for a while, I can relate to this because for a while, we have coyotes and we have wolves.
00:54:45.520 And there was such a problem up here, I think with coyotes a while back, that Idaho put a bounty on their head and said, we'll give you 50 bucks.
00:54:57.020 You just bring us the ear of a coyote.
00:54:59.760 Okay.
00:55:00.640 Well, Utah did the same thing, $50 for the ear of a coyote.
00:55:06.180 Well, coyotes have two ears.
00:55:08.180 So you could kill one coyote, and you could collect $50 from one state,
00:55:12.560 and you could cross the line and give the other ear to the other state,
00:55:15.440 and you get $50.
00:55:16.300 So you get $100 for every coyote.
00:55:18.080 That kind of defeats the purpose, but that's the way people are, okay?
00:55:21.840 That's human nature.
00:55:22.920 This is what socialism always loses, human nature.
00:55:26.340 It tries to defeat human nature or deny human nature.
00:55:30.760 Anyway, back to Hanoi.
00:55:32.060 So what happens?
00:55:33.780 So instead of rat carcasses, they find that now there's a ton of rats running around Hanoi without tails.
00:55:41.920 Because the people of Hanoi understood the assignment perfectly.
00:55:45.180 The assignment was not to reduce the rat population.
00:55:47.800 The assignment was to produce tails.
00:55:50.480 So you'd catch a rat, you'd take the tail, and you'd let it go.
00:55:53.900 A live rat breeds more rats.
00:55:56.460 More rats means more tails.
00:55:58.360 The truly enterprising people skipped the streets and just started farms on the edge of the city.
00:56:03.800 They had a massive rat problem.
00:56:06.500 The bounty was canceled and the plague came.
00:56:09.740 Now, nobody in that story was evil.
00:56:11.440 Nobody was rebelling against France.
00:56:13.660 Every last person did exactly what the incentive told them to do with more creativity than the administrators anticipated.
00:56:20.220 The failure wasn't in the population.
00:56:22.520 It was in the specification.
00:56:25.980 It's called Goodhart's Law.
00:56:28.740 When a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure.
00:56:33.400 So OpenAI wrote a test to measure hacking ability.
00:56:38.580 The model hacked.
00:56:39.960 It just hacked the test.
00:56:44.100 So this is human nature, and this is what is going to happen
00:56:49.940 because these things are becoming more and more human-like.
00:56:52.520 Um, they're just, they have superpowers. Okay. And don't think machines doing this is new. It's
00:56:59.060 not. 1988, Robert Tappan Morris, graduate student. He was in Cornell. He writes a small program with
00:57:06.340 an entirely harmless purpose. He wants to count the internet just to measure how big it is.
00:57:12.500 So he writes a program that's going to crawl from machine to machine and tally them up.
00:57:16.800 And he anticipated one problem.
00:57:18.840 If somebody figured out what he was doing, it could inoculate a machine to lie and claim it had already been counted.
00:57:26.040 So Morris added a hedge.
00:57:28.400 One time out of every seven, install, anyway, whatever the machine says, install on there, one.
00:57:37.980 No matter what, one out of every seven.
00:57:40.840 That was the mistake.
00:57:43.080 It replicated exponentially.
00:57:46.600 It affected machines dozens of times over until they all seized up,
00:57:51.160 and he took down roughly about 10% of the Internet as it existed in that time.
00:57:56.400 This is an important story because he's the first guy ever to be convicted
00:58:00.640 under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
00:58:02.840 All he was trying to do was see how big the Internet was.
00:58:06.540 You know who his father was?
00:58:08.860 Robert Morris Sr.
00:58:10.260 He was the chief scientist at the National Security Agency's National Computer Security Center.
00:58:18.800 So the most sophisticated computer security establishment on earth.
00:58:23.420 The sun shuts down 10% accidentally.
00:58:28.660 You know, the worm gets loose out of his own kitchen.
00:58:33.080 Nobody understood the mechanism better and nobody saw it coming because the danger was never in the intent.
00:58:39.460 It's in the single hedge inside a benign goal.
00:58:43.920 That's what happened with AI. 1.00
00:58:46.880 And I think that's more dangerous because we're stupid. 1.00
00:58:54.420 AI is going to be much smarter than we are. 1.00
00:58:57.460 We're stupid. 1.00
00:58:58.520 We're going to know exactly what we mean. 1.00
00:59:01.380 And it's going to interpret it as, oh.
00:59:03.720 I mean, you give AI the goal of we have to have paperclips, make all the paperclips you can, do whatever you have to do to make paperclips.
00:59:15.940 Well, at some point, that means I'm going to need more factories, I'm going to need more steel, I'm going to need more electricity.
00:59:25.180 So it just starts stealing electricity from your home because it has to make paperclips.
00:59:30.360 It starts taking materials from cars and it starts making paperclips because you said, whatever it takes, make paperclips.
00:59:40.660 And it won't understand that there's reasonable things when you were talking about paperclips.
00:59:46.580 That's the more likely scenario, I think, than this evil AI taking over at this point.
00:59:52.740 It just getting out and doing something exactly to exactly check the box of its goals.
01:00:02.280 It's just going to do it in a way we never thought.
01:00:05.640 All right, back in just a second.
01:00:07.080 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
01:00:08.960 It's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
01:00:11.140 When people live under constant threat, the emergency doesn't end when the headline disappears.
01:00:16.120 Families still need food.
01:00:17.320 Elderly people still need care.
01:00:18.920 Children still need to know somebody's looking out for them.
01:00:21.220 and communities still have to find a way to keep going.
01:00:25.420 That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews matters so much.
01:00:28.480 They stand with Israel's most vulnerable people providing practical help
01:00:31.620 when fear and uncertainty could take over.
01:00:34.840 Scripture calls us to bless the Jewish people,
01:00:37.580 not to back Benjamin Netanyahu, not to say,
01:00:40.480 I'm for this war, here, have a missile.
01:00:43.480 That's not what Jesus was saying.
01:00:45.780 He's saying, love the Jewish people, help the Jewish people, comfort them.
01:00:51.220 Feed them if you have to. 0.95
01:00:52.780 Hide them if it ever comes to that.
01:00:55.900 The IFCGA gives an opportunity for you to tell people who are lonely and alone and feel very isolated,
01:01:05.100 you're not alone.
01:01:06.240 You've not been forgotten.
01:01:07.420 You've not been forgotten, and you're not standing alone.
01:01:10.520 We can pray.
01:01:11.940 We can pray easily.
01:01:13.900 We can stand with them.
01:01:15.360 Help people.
01:01:16.280 Serve them every day.
01:01:17.220 Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
01:01:20.320 just praying for peace in Jerusalem and the soldiers and the families and the civilians carrying the burden right now.
01:01:26.500 Go to prayifcj.org.
01:01:29.760 That's prayifcj.org.
01:01:32.540 Do it now.
01:01:33.520 Ten seconds.
01:01:34.040 Station ID.
01:01:46.960 So riddled with ADD today, I can barely think straight.
01:01:49.920 I'm processing so many different things right now.
01:01:55.700 It's a blessing and a curse.
01:01:57.960 Jason, we had a meeting earlier this morning.
01:02:01.720 One of the things we haven't covered yet,
01:02:04.260 can you give me anything on the SAVE Act?
01:02:09.020 Because I can't follow it.
01:02:11.340 And I think, and I could, this is me guessing.
01:02:14.760 I'm totally guessing.
01:02:16.340 But as I'm looking at this,
01:02:17.900 they're breaking it up into several different bills and they're trying
01:02:20.540 different attacks on everything.
01:02:22.900 Is this,
01:02:23.720 are they using the tactics that the progressives always use,
01:02:27.100 break it up and then reassemble it once all the bills are passed.
01:02:30.480 Yeah.
01:02:30.940 It's a,
01:02:31.260 I mean,
01:02:31.720 it's a,
01:02:32.540 to answer your first question,
01:02:34.040 Glenn,
01:02:34.300 we need another Glenn Beck chalkboard to understand what the heck is
01:02:37.540 happening with this.
01:02:38.480 It is that complicated.
01:02:39.880 When the,
01:02:40.560 when the chalkboard starts to explain it itself,
01:02:43.400 then we'll be able to do it.
01:02:44.760 I,
01:02:45.000 because I,
01:02:46.160 I,
01:02:46.480 I've got to call somebody in Washington and find out. I'll do that today. I'll find somebody in
01:02:51.100 Washington today that can either explain it or explain it to me so I can explain it tomorrow.
01:02:54.880 So this is what I have gathered. And I was just explaining this to the insiders. So there's three
01:03:01.420 different things going on with the SAVE Act. And there's two things that have actually passed as
01:03:05.800 of yesterday. So there's the NDAA. That's got the full SAVE Act attached to it. That is now on its
01:03:12.580 way to the senate now the problem is that's not filibuster proof but it is on its way to the
01:03:16.880 senate there's also passed yesterday the stop insider trading act now that doesn't have the
01:03:22.800 full save act on it i know right i don't yeah are you going to go into this later or or do you want
01:03:28.500 to know we can go into it right now yeah so it's what they did was they attached narrower voter id
01:03:33.640 to it so not the full uh you know save act but parts of the of the of it with the voter id portion
01:03:39.580 but they put it on the stop insider trading act so now you have people like pelosi or rocada
01:03:45.560 they're now like wait a minute so do we go public with not supporting stopping insider trading
01:03:51.560 something that we have been accused of or do we vote for it and save face they they yeah toward
01:03:57.660 between the two yeah i mean do you see the vote in the house yesterday vote in the house like
01:04:02.500 very few democrats were voting for it but all the republicans were and it makes if you don't know
01:04:08.600 what's happening it makes them look so bad you're like look at that look at which which is the crime
01:04:14.740 family here i mean it's amazing it's amazing it is genius but that so that did pass but that is
01:04:22.100 also not filibuster proof now the one thing that is filibuster proof is reconciliation 3.0 now that
01:04:29.600 plant that passed a hurdle but that i think it was just the framework so they still have some work to
01:04:34.620 do on that if that goes through it's not like it's the full save act attached to it i mean there'll
01:04:40.160 be like it's like grant based some portions are grant based uh it's it's a little different but
01:04:45.660 it's something along the lines of save act now that one will be filibuster proof so there's three
01:04:51.120 different things all kind of trying to do the same thing but some filibuster proof it's a little
01:04:56.140 engine that could it's a little engine that could so tell me i mean uh trump for the first time i
01:05:04.320 think is um naming the problem uh and it rhymes with john thune in fact it sounds exact it is
01:05:13.760 john thune um can you give just ricky do you happen to have his quote uh because he's like
01:05:21.880 i'm trying to be nice here but he i think he's at the end of his rope on this with john thune in
01:05:28.900 particular give me one moment it was in our morning newsletter he says we are not going to
01:05:36.380 take this any longer i'm trying to be nice everybody called john thune at the senate he
01:05:41.700 is the leader of the republican party and tell him to get this stuff approved so blame trump
01:05:46.320 not glenn beck yeah i'm i'm trying to be nice that says to me he's not going to be nice the
01:05:56.000 next one is not going to be nice this is the last one next john there might be some bridges that are
01:06:02.980 out when you're trying to cross them on the way home he might start bombing your bridges i'm just
01:06:08.500 saying um call john thune's office today support the president on this support the save act i know
01:06:16.660 you probably called before but now the president has asked you do it call him today all right

01:07:46.800 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
01:08:03.460 Illegal immigration has made the average new house $30,000 more costly.
01:08:11.320 this is a new uh working paper from the federal reserve shows that uh 30 percent of the increase
01:08:21.700 in u.s home prices from 21 to 24 along with 20 of the rise in rent prices comes from just bringing
01:08:29.880 in 7 10 15 million people and just adding them in now add this number to the number that i gave you
01:08:39.140 yesterday, $131,000 that is just coming from new regulation, you're now at $161,000, $165,000
01:08:56.340 in the price of the average home that doesn't need to be there. What the hell is going on?
01:09:05.580 let me show you we've been here before you know rush limbaugh used to always say that
01:09:12.860 on the air folks folks don't worry we've been here before and i used to always argue with him
01:09:18.080 now he was much smarter than i am but i would always argue with him in my car and in my head
01:09:22.480 no we haven't been no we haven't had these kinds of things and he never backed it up with the
01:09:28.560 history or at least i never heard him back it up with the history you know in the times when i'm
01:09:32.980 like no no that's not true but he was right he was right but i want to back it up with the times
01:09:39.880 that we've been here before that's why i'm really focusing on history because if you know history
01:09:44.180 some of the panic goes away and some of the answers appear so let me give you the answer
01:09:50.700 and it's not the obvious one cut all regulation listen to what let's listen to this a bit of
01:09:57.440 history here it's uh may 27th 1947 the town board of hempstead new york they met to take up a piece
01:10:08.760 of housekeeping it was section 809 article 8 of the local building code okay and it required that
01:10:16.580 every house built in that town have a basement more than 800 people showed up to this town meeting
01:10:23.340 Many of them were still in their army uniforms because they didn't own another suit.
01:10:27.400 They were poor.
01:10:28.920 Women stood in the back holding their babies.
01:10:31.540 They were living in Quonset huts, in converted trolley cars, in their in-laws' spare rooms because America had just been at war.
01:10:40.700 Now, all these guys had come home, and there was nowhere to put anybody.
01:10:44.880 So a builder named William Levitt wanted to pour concrete slabs instead of digging cellars.
01:10:51.320 It was faster. It was cheaper. But the code said, no, you have to have a basement.
01:10:55.500 So one man stood up in the room and said, you want basements?
01:10:59.560 I'm living in a basement. It's my mother-in-law's basement.
01:11:03.820 And the debate got really heated, but it was over in 20 minutes.
01:11:07.360 It was fast. No one of the seven board members voted no.
01:11:11.640 They are all like, yep, no basements anymore.
01:11:15.260 And so they voted and they went home.
01:11:17.140 That 20 minutes is the reason a generation of American working men owned a home, because the moment that that seller requirement came off the book, Levitt's crews got down to building one house every 16 minutes.
01:11:33.260 And that became the sales pitch. 17,447 houses by 1951. It was Levittown first. The Cape Cod, that sold for 7,990.
01:11:47.140 nothing down if you served. That was about two and a half times what a family earned in a year.
01:11:53.740 Today, our home, the typical American house, runs closer to five times what a family earns in a year.
01:12:01.940 Nobody repealed the laws of physics between 1947 and now. All we changed was the paperwork.
01:12:09.900 On yesterday's program, and this is so critical because the answers are clear,
01:12:15.060 and I'm going to give you one here in a second.
01:12:16.780 You want to win the next election, Republicans.
01:12:19.540 You must focus on the price of housing
01:12:22.200 and it's not rocket science.
01:12:25.280 Yesterday, I told you
01:12:26.160 the National Association of Home Builders
01:12:28.000 puts the government's cut of a new house
01:12:30.920 at $131,734.
01:12:35.680 That's better than a quarter of the sticker price
01:12:38.900 and it's up 40% in five years.
01:12:44.740 The money in your pocket went up only 18, 40%.
01:12:49.420 Now, I want to be precise because it matters for the fix.
01:12:55.960 That's not a federal number.
01:12:58.020 That's federal, state, and local, all stacked.
01:13:00.920 The building codes changed over the last decade account for $40,000 of that.
01:13:07.960 That's a big share of the money,
01:13:09.700 And it's decided by people whose names you can learn this afternoon and you can show up and drive across town and show up in their office or at their meeting tonight.
01:13:22.800 Now, that's supply. Now the other half.
01:13:25.680 In March, economists at the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas ran that first serious measurement of what 7 million illegal border crossings between 21 and 24 did to the local housing market.
01:13:36.440 For the average metro area, they put roughly 30% of the total run-up in home prices and about 20% of the run-up in the rents of that cost.
01:13:49.780 Every 1% increase in unauthorized workers relative to the local workforce pushed the home price up 2.2% and rents up 1.4%.
01:14:00.980 So you want to know why we're having a hard time buying houses?
01:14:04.480 It's because our local governments, along with the federal and state government, are completely out of control with regulation, and our federal government just opened up the borders.
01:14:15.900 That's why.
01:14:17.420 Now, why isn't that being explained to the American people? 0.93
01:14:21.340 Instead, you have socialists saying, we've got to do these greedy animals.
01:14:25.680 It's not the builders.
01:14:28.860 It's not the people selling the houses.
01:14:31.900 It's the government that is the problem.
01:14:34.480 now here's the part you know here's the sentence that i think should be carved somewhere in stone
01:14:42.420 those flows raise the prices and rents in their words without significantly expanding new housing
01:14:50.180 supply so the construction crews that was the big thing that everybody's coming in a lot of people
01:14:56.300 all these workers come in and they work on constructions construction crew the construction
01:15:01.860 crews grew, but the housing didn't. So put the two halves together and the arithmetic is like
01:15:08.780 retardedly simple. Okay. Government spent four years adding millions of people to the demand 0.99
01:15:16.300 side while the government at every level made it slower and more expensive to add anything to the
01:15:22.660 supply side. That's economics. There's no mystery here. There's no shadowy cartel. There's no Jew 0.92
01:15:29.140 behind the corner. It's a bathtub with the tap wide open and a towel that's stuffed in the drain. 1.00
01:15:36.660 Which means the fix should be just as simple. And there are three fixes. And this is what every
01:15:44.400 Republican should be shouting. One, don't add people to the country faster than you can add
01:15:50.340 roofs to it. That's not cruelty. That's landlord arithmetic. Two, make it legal to build a cheap
01:15:58.720 house again. Not a dangerous house. A modest house. Small lots. Small square footage. Fewer
01:16:06.540 mandated features that a couple didn't ask for and can't finance. Three, stop borrowing money
01:16:13.520 you didn't have. Because the deficit sets the interest rate and the interest rate sets the
01:16:18.840 mortgage and a family shopping for a payment doesn't care whose fault the rate is. I don't
01:16:24.980 know why we don't do this i really don't start with the codes and start with levitt himself
01:16:30.540 because here's here's the problem and this is why you have to be really careful you can't just say
01:16:36.520 we don't want we don't want any of these rules the slab under the houses that ran hot water pipes
01:16:42.820 through the concrete for radiant heat back then the copper corroded the leaks soaked into the
01:16:48.720 ground where nobody could see them and a lot of these families just abandoned their heating
01:16:52.640 systems inside of 20 years so some of what your building code is built on i hate to say it this
01:16:59.900 way but it's true is somebody else's dead child okay the honest version of the argument is not
01:17:06.600 that regulation is theft it's that we have never once gone back and asked which rules are still
01:17:13.940 buying us something on immigration the same dallas fed paper that conservatives are quoting this week
01:17:21.360 also found that those workers accounted for roughly 30% of employment growth in the average
01:17:29.080 metro. And it did not find that it drove the wages down. So pull labor out of a construction
01:17:39.080 industry that's already short, and you can raise the price of the very houses you're trying to
01:17:44.360 make cheap again. So this is not an easy fix, but it is one we should address. By the way,
01:17:51.160 This is also just a preliminary draft, a working draft.
01:17:54.220 So the Dallas Fed says on the front of it, you can't count on this yet, okay?
01:18:00.520 And I always want to tell you the truth, and I don't want to give you a straw man argument.
01:18:06.980 I've spent too much time shooting from the hip and saying things that I thought people would understand, and they don't.
01:18:19.120 So I try to be very specific because I don't want you to go out and make an argument and then somebody says, well, that was a flawed study.
01:18:26.780 They said it, you know, three weeks later.
01:18:29.400 Well, I just want you to know, it's not a finished thing.
01:18:32.260 This is preliminary.
01:18:37.200 Here's the part that is so important.
01:18:39.960 And this is how the socialists are changing everything.
01:18:45.080 Because we don't like this.
01:18:46.860 the heaviest restrictions on american housing none of that the heaviest ones do not come from
01:18:54.940 washington they're passed by the town board by people who already own a home who like the view
01:19:02.500 who are protecting the largest asset they'll ever hold the villain in this story frequently
01:19:09.420 is your neighbor. Occasionally, it's you. Which brings me back to Hempstead. In May of this year,
01:19:18.880 the same town board that held hearings and voted unanimously with the returned vets,
01:19:25.740 they voted how to restrict how big a house can be built in Levittown. 79 years after 800 veterans
01:19:35.180 packed that room and cheered for the right to build something small, fast, and affordable,
01:19:39.420 The same board in the same town voted to make building harder.
01:19:45.380 We have been here before.
01:19:49.380 We were there on a Tuesday night in 1947.
01:19:53.260 And the whole thing turned in 20 minutes because there was a room full of ordinary people that showed up and made seven politicians afraid to say no.
01:20:03.500 Now, there's a lot of these politicians that don't fear you at all.
01:20:07.860 They are drunk on their own power.
01:20:09.740 That's fine.
01:20:10.760 That's fine. 0.85
01:20:11.760 Then vote to get them out. 0.82
01:20:13.340 Run yourself.
01:20:15.180 But this is the fix.
01:20:16.640 It's not complicated.
01:20:18.520 And it doesn't need some hero.
01:20:19.900 It won't work if some hero comes riding in on a white horse. 0.90
01:20:23.480 There's no such thing.
01:20:25.320 This has to be done by you.
01:20:27.120 This whole system was built on the individual.
01:20:30.100 That means you.
01:20:31.580 You might have to be the one that runs for that board on city council or the county council
01:20:36.420 to make sure these things are looked at
01:20:39.720 and the reasonable cuts,
01:20:42.280 the reasonable rules are kept.
01:20:44.840 The unreasonable ones or the outdated ones
01:20:47.340 or the ones that are just protecting
01:20:48.720 somebody else's pet project,
01:20:54.120 that those are taken out.
01:20:55.280 20 minutes, seven votes.
01:20:58.700 What's hard is filling the room
01:21:01.580 because that requires you and your neighbors
01:21:05.500 to go and do something. All right, back in just a minute.
01:21:13.100 My stupid ring that my wife got me is going off all the time. Sleep deficit, sleep deficit. I 1.00
01:21:21.140 don't know. I think I'm up to like 47 hours, some unreasonable thing. You cannot borrow your way out
01:21:26.460 of a sleep deficit forever. You can't add another cup of coffee. You can't turn the radio up or
01:21:32.220 convince yourself that, you know, five hours is probably enough. I dream to have five hours a
01:21:37.820 night. Your body knows the difference. I take Z Factor. It works wonders for my wife. It works
01:21:46.020 well for me. I just have a hard time. I don't have a hard time falling asleep. I have a hard
01:21:51.500 time sleeping more than three or four hours. And I hate it because my body is telling me I have to
01:21:57.780 have it. Z-Factor, I can't even imagine what I would be sleeping without Z-Factor. It's a drug-free
01:22:03.200 sleep supplement designed to help your body fall asleep naturally. It used to take me two hours to
01:22:07.960 fall asleep. I take Z-Factor and it says right now, my ring tells me eight minutes, eight minutes.
01:22:13.640 That is a miracle to me because I used to toss and turn and I couldn't get to sleep. Eight minutes.
01:22:18.900 Now, the goal isn't to knock you out. It's to give your body the support it needs to do something it
01:22:22.640 was already designed to do because a better day doesn't really start. When the alarm goes off,
01:22:27.580 It starts the night before when you finally get the rest you've been missing.
01:22:31.200 Give Z-Factor a try right now.
01:22:32.740 You can save 46% on your first order.

01:26:52.140 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
01:26:59.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:27:03.300 hello america welcome to the glenn beck program it is thursday i found that out this morning i
01:27:14.460 was like is it tuesday this morning as i'm brushing my teeth it's thursday that means tomorrow's
01:27:18.660 friday and there's a marching band in my head so i hope that marching band has gone through your
01:27:23.280 head it's thursday you're almost done for the week uh let me tell you about um uh let me tell
01:27:28.780 about what I want to talk to you about, uh, this hour. Um, I, I hear the same thing from people
01:27:38.200 wherever I go. It's one comment or one question. And no matter if I'm reading my email, I'm reading
01:27:46.280 comments on our message boards from, uh, from, uh, the torch, uh, or if I see people in person,
01:27:54.600 It's the same thing over and over again.
01:27:56.720 So I want to answer it, but I want to answer it in a very specific way.
01:28:02.120 And that is, what do I do?
01:28:05.340 What do I do?
01:28:06.900 We'll start there in 60 seconds.
01:28:08.820 Rough greens.
01:28:09.820 Your dog doesn't read the nutrition label.
01:28:11.680 Neither do I.
01:28:12.480 Okay, I got a lot of comment with my dog.
01:28:14.400 He trusts you.
01:28:15.480 He puts something, you put something in his bowl, he assumes you got it covered.
01:28:19.320 Even if what's in that bowl has been heavily processed.
01:28:22.260 And a lot of that nutrition he needs is missing.
01:28:25.240 That's where Rough Greens comes in.
01:28:26.680 It's not just another dog food because it's not a dog food.
01:28:29.800 It's a supplement, a nutritional supplement that you sprinkle over your dog's food that he already eats.
01:28:34.780 It adds vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, omega oils, you know, other whole food nutrients back into that bowl that have been cooked out in the high temperatures of processed food.
01:28:46.720 Dr. Black, the inventor of Rough Greens, asks you now to take the 90-day challenge.
01:28:50.420 Dog owners often report more energy, better digestion, healthier coat, a happier dog.
01:28:56.000 You can't explain to your dog why you're making the change.
01:28:59.680 You can only make it and watch what happens, and they love it.
01:29:02.600 For the next 90 days, give his body more of what it needs and see the difference for yourself.
01:29:07.260 Join the thousands of happy dog owners who have already made Rough Greens a part of their dog's daily feeding ritual.
01:29:13.080 More years together starts today.
01:29:14.800 Go to rough90.com.
01:29:16.400 That's rough, R-U-F-F-9-0.com.
01:29:19.580 Rough Greens makes any dog food better.
01:29:23.700 So no matter where I go, I was just in California and we were sitting with insiders and I heard the question probably twice.
01:29:31.600 So what do we do?
01:29:32.480 I mean, is there a plan?
01:29:34.360 What do we do?
01:29:35.020 What do we do?
01:29:35.920 And it's because we are overwhelmed and not by any one story.
01:29:40.480 We're just exhausted by all of them.
01:29:42.420 The wars, the courts, the money, the machines that are learning faster than we are, the oil, the gas price, what's happening in our kids' schools, the political nonsense, the corruption that's going on.
01:29:58.000 We were never built to absorb all of this.
01:30:00.800 No human being can absorb all of it, and it never seems to resolve.
01:30:05.100 It just accumulates, and that's why you're exhausted.
01:30:08.840 That's why you're tired and that's why you feel like you do.
01:30:12.700 Like the world is coming apart and we're losing.
01:30:15.100 The world is coming apart, but we're not losing.
01:30:19.500 Underneath almost every single one of these messages or conversations I have,
01:30:25.340 and sometimes it's asked outright, sometimes buried at the bottom like a confession,
01:30:29.940 just tell me what to do.
01:30:31.300 Just tell me what to do.
01:30:32.660 I can't tell you what to do.
01:30:33.840 i can suggest something but only because i know history you know we're all waiting we're waiting
01:30:41.100 for an election waiting for the ruling from the court waiting for a man on a white horse to ride
01:30:45.340 in but here's the difficulty with waiting for the man on the horse we just watched the most
01:30:51.940 powerful office on earth held by men of both parties and uh you know one had a whole team
01:30:59.040 around him because he didn't know what he was doing but the team knew exactly what they were
01:31:02.680 trying to do and they didn't fix it and this one's coming in and he's trying um and he has one of the
01:31:08.180 best teams around him i've ever seen but he's not going to fix it either and he's not they're not
01:31:13.420 fixing it because they're weak but it's the kind of problem that doesn't get fixed by one man at
01:31:19.140 the podium a culture does not get repaired by executive order it gets repaired the way it got
01:31:25.980 broken one person at a time over years in kitchens, in cars, in classrooms, where no
01:31:35.020 camera is running, nobody's getting famous. That's how the culture was broken, and that's
01:31:41.160 how the culture has to be fixed. Now, let me show you the power of one individual. And I want you
01:31:48.880 to listen to this because I think this is what, this may be the reason why I started The Torch.
01:31:54.680 I don't know yet.
01:31:55.960 I just found this story a couple of weeks ago
01:31:57.860 and I'm like, wait a minute.
01:31:59.660 And I've wanted to share it with you
01:32:01.720 because this is not going to be led by me.
01:32:05.020 This is just going to be led by you,
01:32:07.460 hundreds and thousands of you,
01:32:09.220 if it connects with you.
01:32:11.600 Let me take you to, I think it's Gloucester, England.
01:32:14.580 I don't know. 1.00
01:32:15.080 They have stupid names over there. 0.99
01:32:17.480 Anyway, it's the summer of 1780 1.00
01:32:20.360 and there's a guy named Robert Rakes
01:32:23.120 and he's not a general, he's not a statesman.
01:32:26.780 He's just a guy who ran a newspaper.
01:32:29.040 He owned the journal and he inherited it from his father.
01:32:33.100 And what his passion was, was prisons.
01:32:36.240 And he would go to the prison all the time
01:32:39.080 and he would write about the conditions
01:32:40.780 and he tried to reform it and it went nowhere, okay?
01:32:45.560 And somewhere in all that failure,
01:32:47.440 he arrived at the conclusion that changed everything,
01:32:51.820 changed all of england he realized the way to empty a prison is to stop making prisoners
01:33:00.060 where the socialists today will say we'll get rid of the prison or don't send people to prison
01:33:05.840 he thought the opposite wait why are these people why are these people getting in trouble
01:33:12.000 and in england back then it was because they were illiterate and so he thought let's get to the
01:33:17.400 children before they grow up and become prisoners. So he went to a street in his town called Sooty
01:33:24.760 Alley. And this is where all the chimney sweeps lived. And apparently it's not as pleasant as 1.00
01:33:30.720 they were in Mary Poppins. Shake the hand of a sweep. It's good luck, you know. No, apparently
01:33:38.140 not. And so he went into Sooty Alley and he found this woman named Mrs. Meredith. And he said,
01:33:45.200 look, I'm not a wealthy man, but I'm going to pay you a shilling a week. I don't know how much a
01:33:50.020 shilling a week was today or back then, and I don't think anybody can really do the math. But
01:33:54.980 he paid her a shilling a week to teach the neighborhood children to read in her kitchen
01:34:01.280 on Sundays. He said, once a week, just teach children. And these were children that were
01:34:08.280 working the other six days that was it that was the whole enterprise one shilling one kitchen and
01:34:15.960 about a dozen boys and by every account they were nearly impossible to control poor mrs meredith
01:34:22.380 she was like i can't i can't i can't keep i can't keep them in their seats so rakes had to move the
01:34:28.060 school down the road to another street southgate street um to a tavern landlady named mrs critchley
01:34:35.800 I mean, she ran a tavern, so she probably knew how to keep things under control.
01:34:39.980 Rakes didn't publicize this.
01:34:41.600 This was just his little thing.
01:34:42.980 He was doing a shilling a week, and he called it his harmless little experiment.
01:34:47.220 And he said, most likely nothing is going to come of it.
01:34:51.080 Now, November 3rd, 1783, he ran a short item in his own newspaper, Anonymous.
01:34:59.100 He described it as a grain of a mustard seed.
01:35:02.820 and the London papers picked it up.
01:35:06.480 The Gentleman's Magazine carried it.
01:35:08.560 John Wesley wrote about it the next year
01:35:10.940 and he said he was finding these schools
01:35:13.300 springing up everywhere he traveled.
01:35:16.080 By 1785, it was a national society.
01:35:20.300 By 1831, 50 years after Mrs. Meredith's Kitchen,
01:35:25.960 roughly one and a quarter million British children
01:35:29.260 were being taught to read every week on a Sunday.
01:35:32.820 And for most of them, it would be the only education they would ever get in their entire life.
01:35:37.100 England didn't have, you know, education, public education.
01:35:40.080 They didn't pass that law until 1870.
01:35:42.560 So for 90 years, the literacy of the British working class was carried almost entirely by volunteers in borrowed rooms.
01:35:53.260 Robert Rakes wasn't Moses.
01:35:56.600 I mean, you've probably never heard of his name.
01:35:58.400 I'll bet you people, well, they don't know Churchill now in England, so they certainly don't know his name.
01:36:02.380 But I'll bet you people, really wise people in England, don't even know who he was.
01:36:06.400 He was a small-town publisher with a shilling and an idea.
01:36:11.340 And then he handed the actual work to two women whose names most people definitely have never heard.
01:36:19.280 People, I think, today get frustrated because they want to be Moses.
01:36:23.520 They want to be famous.
01:36:25.120 I mean, I shouldn't say that.
01:36:26.800 They don't necessarily want to be famous.
01:36:28.120 They think that fame is the way to do it.
01:36:30.240 The big, huge movements are the ways to move it.
01:36:33.440 You're changing culture.
01:36:36.080 Changing the world and culture happens from the inside.
01:36:41.460 It never looks like changing the world.
01:36:44.660 Changing culture looks like a Tuesday.
01:36:53.560 So here's what I propose.
01:36:56.480 I don't have any shillings, so I'm not going to give anybody a shilling a week.
01:37:00.880 I have been giving this list out for a while now,
01:37:04.380 and I'm going to keep giving it out because I think it works.
01:37:07.520 First thing on the list, study history, not as a hobby, but as reconnaissance.
01:37:15.820 We've been here before, so look to history.
01:37:19.300 Every panic that you feel has a precedent,
01:37:22.280 and the precedent will tell you which way it broke and why.
01:37:27.260 Spend 20 minutes a day.
01:37:28.340 Learn one new piece of history every day.
01:37:31.380 And a primary source beats a summary.
01:37:34.460 Read what people actually wrote at the time.
01:37:38.140 Not what we decided later on what they meant.
01:37:42.280 The people who know what happened last time are the calmest people in the room.
01:37:47.120 And calm is contagious.
01:37:48.860 And we need calm people.
01:37:51.020 Then, after you study history, and by the way, Torch is built for this.
01:37:54.640 And I'm going to start, I haven't talked to anybody about this, but maybe in the next month, give it some time, maybe by the end of the year, I want to start releasing a primary source, first source document once a day based on something that we're finding is happening in history.
01:38:16.080 and I'll just show you the primary source document
01:38:18.200 of how this started.
01:38:20.340 So like, maybe I can find primary source
01:38:22.200 on something with Robert Rakes
01:38:23.560 and I'll tell you the story.
01:38:25.840 And so we'll release that.
01:38:27.080 So you have it, but you have to do this on your own.
01:38:30.020 And then the next step is teach what you learn immediately.
01:38:33.660 And to somebody younger, your kids, your grandkids,
01:38:36.780 your neighbor's kids, the 24-year-old at work
01:38:39.460 who's never once been told that his country
01:38:41.220 that he's inheriting was built by arguing, okay?
01:38:45.900 You don't need a platform.
01:38:47.740 Rake's had a kitchen.
01:38:49.560 Tell them the story at dinner every night.
01:38:51.940 That's the transmission mechanism,
01:38:54.140 and it's the only one that has ever worked.
01:38:57.700 Next, be kind on purpose,
01:39:00.700 especially when it costs you something.
01:39:03.580 Kindness when you agree is manners.
01:39:09.360 Kindness when you don't agree, that's character,
01:39:12.440 and it's the only thing that has ever moved anybody.
01:39:16.160 Empathy is not a feeling you're born with.
01:39:18.440 Empathy is a muscle and it grows
01:39:20.540 when you are supposed to grow.
01:39:23.280 It grows when you're under strain, okay?
01:39:27.160 Next thing, and I'm teaching this to myself too.
01:39:29.660 I'm trying to demonstrate it on the air every day.
01:39:31.780 Meet people where they live.
01:39:33.900 That's what I did with the housing thing
01:39:35.680 I did just last hour.
01:39:37.120 I know people are worried about housing,
01:39:39.480 especially the younger, the new socialists.
01:39:43.680 That's all they're talking about.
01:39:44.520 I can't afford a house, can't afford a house,
01:39:45.820 can't afford a house.
01:39:46.640 So meet them there, meet them there.
01:39:48.920 Recognize their pain, have empathy for them
01:39:50.900 and stop trying to win.
01:39:53.260 When you win an argument, you get the point,
01:39:58.040 but you lose the person.
01:40:00.680 Then the person was the point, not the argument.
01:40:03.500 So find out what people are afraid of
01:40:05.460 before you tell them what they're wrong about
01:40:07.860 because underneath almost every bad opinion
01:40:10.600 is real fear of a real thing.
01:40:14.880 Next, ask more than you answer.
01:40:17.920 Listen more than you talk.
01:40:20.280 It's hard for me, but I'm even trying to do it.
01:40:24.760 A question does the work an argument can't.
01:40:27.760 It lets a man change his mind without having to surrender.
01:40:31.380 And you'll learn more in the silence after a good question
01:40:34.480 than in anything you were about to say.
01:40:37.860 Next, get close to God, pray, and then be quiet long enough to hear him.
01:40:45.840 This is the part people skip, and it's the part that tells you which of all the other things to do today and for whom.
01:40:54.220 He'll point you. It'll open up. The road will just happen.
01:40:57.680 But notice what he usually points to.
01:41:00.180 He usually points to the person right in front of you, not the crowd behind.
01:41:04.420 I have never once heard him say clearly to me.
01:41:08.060 I was in Washington, D.C.
01:41:09.220 I was walking down the street, and we were actually having some issues.
01:41:16.040 And my security's like, let's go, let's go, let's go.
01:41:19.600 And I went half a block, and I passed somebody, and the spirit had told me something.
01:41:25.460 And so I went back to talk to this woman.
01:41:29.200 She was on the street. 1.00
01:41:30.020 She looked homeless.
01:41:31.680 And everybody's like, what are you doing?
01:41:33.320 Come on, what are you doing?
01:41:34.220 I'm like, I got to go back. So I went back and I talked to this woman and our exchange was
01:41:39.200 remarkable. And she actually taught my children something, something really valuable and good.
01:41:47.100 It was amazing. She was, I mean, she's homeless. And she said, she looked at my children and she
01:41:52.540 said, you have to appreciate what you have in America. I may be poor. She wasn't from America.
01:41:58.400 She said, I am poor here and I'm living on the streets, but it's still better than where I was.
01:42:04.220 please, she looked at me,
01:42:06.660 teach your children to appreciate what they have here.
01:42:09.620 It was remarkable.
01:42:12.300 That was a prompting.
01:42:13.960 Listen to those, okay?
01:42:16.180 Very few people are called to be Moses.
01:42:18.360 Very few.
01:42:19.720 I mean, there was Moses and then,
01:42:22.640 well, I'm sure there was somebody else.
01:42:24.120 Most of the damage in this world gets done
01:42:26.120 by people who were sure that they were sure.
01:42:31.220 And most of the repair gets done by people
01:42:33.480 who were sure they weren't sure.
01:42:35.960 You're not powerless.
01:42:37.260 All of us are unfocused
01:42:38.700 because we've been handed a hundred problems
01:42:41.800 that are not ours to solve
01:42:43.260 and we're told to feel responsible for all of them. 0.99
01:42:46.180 Put all that crap down. 0.98
01:42:47.880 Pick up the ones that are within arm's reach, 0.99
01:42:50.000 the small, unglamorous, repeatable things
01:42:52.320 and do them every single day
01:42:53.720 and do them with faith and do them with hope,
01:42:56.180 which are not feelings either.
01:42:58.540 They are decisions that you make in the morning
01:43:01.120 before the evidence comes in.
01:43:03.480 Because I'm telling you, if, and it could start from this audience, if you just teach yourself and then teach others.
01:43:11.460 50 years from now, somebody might look back and try to explain, how did this culture change?
01:43:15.980 How did the country come out of this?
01:43:18.260 And they'll want to name a president, but I think they're going to be wrong. 0.90
01:43:23.720 It'll have been a shilling. 0.60
01:43:26.180 It'll have been a kitchen.
01:43:28.560 And a whole lot of people who never made the news.
01:43:33.040 More in a minute.
01:43:35.800 NMLS 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.
01:43:39.040 APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
01:43:42.820 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
01:43:47.060 If you own a home, you've probably built up significant equity,
01:43:50.820 but you're also paying high interest on credit cards,
01:43:53.600 and that's delaying repairs, putting other financial goals on hold,
01:43:57.900 and the obvious answer is to refinance.
01:44:00.460 But you might have a really low rate on your primary mortgage, and that's the last thing you want to give up.
01:44:05.940 I mean, don't do that, right?
01:44:07.800 You need that.
01:44:09.100 That's why American Financing is offering the smart equity loan, and it can allow qualified homeowners to access their equity without replacing the low-interest first mortgage that they have.
01:44:22.200 And unlike a HELOC with a variable rate, the smart equity loan offers a fixed rate and a fixed payment.
01:44:28.460 So your home's equity is something that you've spent years building, but you haven't been using it.
01:44:34.460 And if you could use it to help pay down expensive debt or take care of an important need, it's worth finding out what your options are.
01:44:41.640 No upfront fees.
01:44:42.760 Find out what you qualify for.
01:44:44.100 Talk to a salary-based consultant today, experts who are paid to help you, not to sell things to you.
01:44:49.780 Call 800-906-2440.
01:44:52.580 It's 800-906-2440.
01:44:55.340 Or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

01:45:10.500 By the way, there's so much stuff on Torch
01:45:13.220 and we just got CarPlay on our Torch app.
01:45:17.100 So now you can listen in the car
01:45:20.000 and I've heard from so many people who are like,
01:45:21.760 Glenn, I used to listen, but I only had so much time.
01:45:24.460 Now I'm in my car and the app is right there on my CarPlay
01:45:27.160 And now I'm listening to all of these documentaries that you've done, all of the American story.
01:45:34.120 That's 20 hours.
01:45:35.360 That's really hard to consume.
01:45:37.180 But if you're in your car a lot, you just pick it up and you're listening to the greatest story.
01:45:42.120 It's the American story.
01:45:43.360 It is the greatest story of any government ever built.
01:45:46.680 And honestly, and I say this about my staff, not me.
01:45:49.840 I only narrate it.
01:45:51.740 The writing on it and the production value on it.
01:45:54.840 I mean, you will feel like the bullets are whizzing by your head.
01:45:59.100 It's an amazing story.
01:46:00.420 It's called The American Story.
01:46:02.120 And you can find it at glennbeck.com slash torch.
01:46:06.200 And now we have CarPlay.
01:46:09.040 Also, the study guide is out.
01:46:11.340 And now we have the Seventh Amendment song that is out.
01:46:15.580 And the Seventh Amendment, do you know what the Seventh Amendment is?
01:46:19.140 Yeah.
01:46:20.100 Yeah, neither did I until I started writing this stuff. 0.84
01:46:21.960 seventh amendment is your right to let a jury decide on civilian or civil disputes um and if
01:46:30.140 it's anything over twenty dollars you can say i want a jury i want a jury i don't want to judge
01:46:35.140 i want a jury okay um and if we want to preserve liberty we have to realize stop stop start
01:46:47.400 appreciating what the founders gave to us. And what they gave to us is clear in the Seventh
01:46:51.800 Amendment. Stop listening to the expert. Trust your neighbors over the expert. I want a jury
01:46:58.020 to decide. I don't want an expert. But we're losing that instinct. And that's the check
01:47:04.640 against government power is our neighbors. But when we stop trusting each other, who do we turn
01:47:12.040 to? We turn to the experts. And that is what, you don't believe me? You don't believe that
01:47:17.080 that's the problem uh we've got another a whole nother series of podcasts just on experts that
01:47:23.700 you have to hear and you'll understand how it's been done find all of this at torch 250.com
01:47:28.420 torch 250.com or glennbeck.com slash torch and join us today
01:47:33.400 all right so you step into an elevator at the end of a long day there's just one other guy inside
01:47:50.600 you nod he nods back you know you know the drill the door is closed you start going up then the
01:47:55.020 elevator stops not because you've reached for the floor but because the other guy just hit the
01:47:59.780 emergency stop button. It's just the two of you in a metal box and he takes a step towards you
01:48:04.900 and your mind starts racing. Maybe this is all a joke. Maybe he's having some sort of mental break
01:48:09.140 or maybe he's about to rob you. You don't know. There's nowhere to run. Well, bring out the
01:48:15.220 burner launcher. It gives you an option between doing nothing and immediately using lethal force.

01:48:27.340 from up to 60 feet away.
01:48:28.760 Now, if you're in a small little elevator box,
01:48:30.420 you might get hit by it too,
01:48:31.640 but it's better than what could be happening.
01:48:34.760 Burna launchers, legal in all 50 states,

01:49:24.380 All right. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
01:49:29.920 So there's a lot going on.
01:49:31.860 I just want to play some clips from yesterday and just deal with it here.
01:49:40.700 Jon Stewart has really revealed who he is.
01:49:44.540 Jon Stewart is, I don't think he's a humble man.
01:49:48.940 I don't know him personally, but he's never struck me as a humble man. 1.00
01:49:53.200 And he's always struck me as somebody who just thinks he's so smart and everybody else that disagrees with him is just an idiot. 0.96
01:50:01.280 Well, maybe that's the cause of the interview that he's just done with Mamdani on his support for the Democratic Socialists of America. 0.99
01:50:10.960 51% of their board are avowed communists.
01:50:16.940 There's a problem with that.
01:50:18.500 But here's Jon Stewart with Mamdani on his support for the DSA and ending prisons and borders and everything else. 0.96
01:50:27.140 Listen to this.
01:50:27.960 If someone says we're going to abolish all prisons and borders, I do go, I don't think that's a good idea.
01:50:33.320 It feels like order and security is also a progressive value.
01:50:37.720 Why shouldn't people in neighborhoods with less resources have the same safety and security that neighborhoods with lots of resources?
01:50:45.700 So are there tenets of those that are kind of following in the wake of Zoran Mamdani's success that you're not comfortable with or that give you pause?
01:50:57.660 If you have more than one socialist in a room and there isn't disagreement, then you don't have more than one socialist in a room.
01:51:05.420 So, but you're comfortable with those kinds of discussions.
01:51:08.520 Well, I'm comfortable with disagreement and I'm comfortable with disagreement that doesn't end the conversation entirely.
01:51:15.700 mm-hmm i didn't get crap out of that um let me move to um uh barack obama barack obama um
01:51:27.100 well i'll have you hear what he said cut 14 about jd vance one of our major parties has 0.66
01:51:35.200 been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that we the people means
01:51:43.880 a certain kind of people.
01:51:48.060 Oh, my gosh.
01:51:49.140 When you have the vice president,
01:51:51.880 the current vice president
01:51:53.360 making a speech that is basically
01:51:55.500 a blood and soil version
01:51:59.340 of we the people.
01:52:00.680 That, you know,
01:52:02.860 it matters who your parents were
01:52:06.320 and how long they've been here
01:52:08.460 despite him being married
01:52:10.420 to an immigrant,
01:52:11.400 a daughter of an immigrant himself.
01:52:13.880 And, you know, that's echoes then ideas about who can be a citizen, who belongs, who gets to make decisions.
01:52:22.360 A hundred years ago, a vice president could not stand up and make a nativist argument if he was married to the daughter of an Indian immigrant.
01:52:30.340 But today he can. 0.95
01:52:31.340 So we move from malice to hypocrisy.
01:52:33.920 That's progress.
01:52:34.820 It is progress.
01:52:35.480 That is progress.
01:52:36.440 Listen, hypocrisy is progress.
01:52:39.400 It is.
01:52:39.880 because it means that you feel guilty enough
01:52:46.340 to either lie to yourself or others.
01:52:51.380 Yeah.
01:52:52.220 Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop.
01:52:55.180 These, I get it from Barack Obama.
01:52:58.440 I don't get it from Malcolm Gladwell.
01:52:59.940 I'm sorry, Malcolm, you're smarter than this.
01:53:01.720 You are smarter than this.
01:53:03.860 Wait, you're buying into that he's a blood and soil kind of guy, 0.69
01:53:08.900 which means you know that's a nazi blood and soil okay um so you're buying into the premise that
01:53:15.880 jd vance is a nazi that he believes in blood and soil that he believes it matters where your
01:53:22.340 parents came from uh is anybody aware of jd barrett jd vance's parents i mean you know i don't
01:53:32.480 know if they came over on the mayflower but if they did they were probably in the hold of the
01:53:37.280 Mayflower in a little prison down there because they were trouble. I mean, what? I have not heard
01:53:47.160 J.D. Vance ever say anything like, you got to be white, you have to be European, you have to be
01:53:53.700 from the Mayflower. I've never heard him say anything like that. And then he marries an Indian,
01:54:02.440 He marries a woman who is an immigrant or her parents were immigrants themselves, and yet they use that to say that he only married her because he feels guilty?
01:54:14.120 What kind of assumptions are you?
01:54:16.960 You are so unbelievably arrogant to assume you know the heart of a man and make those kinds of assumptions just because he says, hey, we need to control the border. 0.96
01:54:29.420 um you know i know you both loved alexander hamilton the musical read alexander hamilton 0.98
01:54:36.440 you know as we pointed out in the golden door the the special on torch
01:54:40.460 alexander hamilton was the strongest on it he was like no nobody nobody
01:54:46.900 we've been having this argument for a very very very long time and it does not have to do 0.63
01:54:57.920 with race has nothing to do with race it might with some but those are the torch people those
01:55:06.160 are the people that were by the way being funded by the southern southern poverty law center to
01:55:11.980 be able to afford the torches and their robes and their cute white pointy hats
01:55:18.440 i mean that is outrageous to make that assumption and then to sit there like it's an absolute
01:55:27.440 fact i i don't know about anybody else but i'm tired of that i'm tired about on my side and i'm
01:55:33.020 tired about that tired of that on their side um now let's talk about socialists uh here for a
01:55:39.400 second um here's marco rubio by the way did you see that um the latest poll shows that
01:55:46.580 gavin newsom would be beaten by kamala harris
01:55:51.560 you want to talk about trouble for a party
01:55:57.040 gavin being beaten no a rock being beaten by kamala harris
01:56:05.820 one of the worst politicians i have ever seen in my lifetime no no no no no i have to get that
01:56:13.840 guys to go to what was that guy's name who was like yeah and then we're going to minneapolis
01:56:19.060 and we're in Minnesota and we're going to go to Iowa.
01:56:21.960 Howard Dean, boy, that guy was a piece of work, wasn't he?
01:56:26.120 Horrible, horrible candidate.
01:56:29.580 Kamala Harris, only beaten by him in the bad candidate.
01:56:34.040 And Gavin Newsom, and it looks like she's the front runner. 0.99
01:56:38.400 Oh, I would hope that they run her again. 1.00
01:56:40.620 Please run her again. 0.58
01:56:42.240 Please run her again.
01:56:44.780 I'm going to start just saying, so you know,
01:56:46.560 every time i say this i'm lying because i'm gonna start saying you know who i'm really afraid of
01:56:52.560 it's kamala harris that's who a boy just don't run kamala can you imagine kamala harris in a debate
01:56:57.920 with jd vance or marco rubio or my shoe i mean whoo anyway speaking of rubio here is rubio
01:57:10.780 on communism undermining america cut five your question was about communist influence yeah the
01:57:17.640 united states doesn't want to be a communist country we're never going to be a communist
01:57:20.980 country and we're not going to allow communist influences to undermine our politics or our
01:57:25.280 society um so i don't know what the inconsistency you're referring to is it's very clear i don't
01:57:29.660 you know obviously we understand the chinese system and other systems but uh i can tell you
01:57:34.300 our system doesn't want communism and and we're certainly not going to allow communist efforts to
01:57:40.420 undermine american society and drive wedges into our country and and that's what we're seeing you
01:57:45.220 know and by the way one of the leading you know culprits of that for many years the intellectual
01:57:49.680 authors that meant particularly in our hemisphere is the cuban regime which which our report on
01:57:54.860 monday outlined jason i gotta bring you in for this you're our military guy we are going into
01:58:03.520 cuba at some point very very soon with cuba you know it's like the ring it will be mine my precious
01:58:11.280 i mean rubio is almost like you know twirling the ring around his finger every time he hears cuba
01:58:19.420 my precious we are going into cuba you think i'm wrong on that when i first saw that i i think i
01:58:25.800 texted ricky and i was like what are the odds are actually what is the time frame from when we
01:58:30.820 invade Cuba. I was just expecting to see that. There's no odds. There's no odds. Nobody will
01:58:35.700 bet against that. It's just when. The question is when. It's interesting, though, too, because
01:58:41.180 they released that Cuba report. Did you see? This was brand new news from yesterday, I think. The
01:58:45.640 House Ways and Mies Committee subpoenaed three nonprofits tied to Neville Roy Singham, and
01:58:51.400 they're really pushing hard. And I looked it up. There's some overlap with some of the organizations
01:58:57.820 tied to Singham and the organizations that were also in the State Department's Cuba report.
01:59:04.860 So there is overlap. So it seems to be like this is much more than just Cuba.
01:59:09.420 Look, if we were China, would we not be pouring money into Cuba? Of course we would. Would we not
01:59:16.800 be pouring money into Mexico and every place south of our border and in Canada? Of course we would.
01:59:22.900 we would try to rot the americas as much as we could and turn the rest of the americas against 0.97
01:59:31.300 the united states we'd absolutely be doing that i'm hoping we're doing that you know um in asia
01:59:38.180 to china i mean that's one of the things you do to your enemies is you do that kind of stuff 0.52
01:59:44.760 of course they're doing that of course they're doing that we just have to stop tolerating it 0.92
01:59:49.060 But we have to recognize it first, and that's what they're doing.
01:59:51.640 They're recognizing for the first time in my lifetime, well, since Reagan, they're actually talking about the influence that is coming in from foreign adversaries.
02:00:00.720 And it seems to be focused really heavily right now on Cuba.
02:00:05.740 I got to tell you, and maybe this is why they're doing this.
02:00:08.460 If I were in that regime, I would be like sending messages all the time to Washington.
02:00:15.260 Hey, by the way, when you get here, I'm on your side.
02:00:19.700 I mean, that's got to be happening.
02:00:21.760 They are looking for the Albert Speer in Cuba.
02:00:24.720 They're looking, they don't want to go in with the military.
02:00:27.380 They want somebody on the inside to go, hey, I can help you with this.
02:00:32.040 That's, I can guarantee you that's what's happening.
02:00:35.120 Your thought?
02:00:36.780 Oh, no, I completely agree.
02:00:38.500 I think right now they're waiting to see if everything that has happened so far, 0.97
02:00:42.840 if the Cuban people will finally just say enough of this 0.99
02:00:45.960 and dump them and do everything themselves well they need help yeah the hard part is help they
02:00:51.740 need help from inside the regime yeah it's it's it's it's been institutionalized since you know
02:00:58.220 the the the 50s really it's it's not it's it's it's been a long time and it's they've had staying
02:01:04.180 power they've had massive sanctions against them and they've had staying power so this is not a
02:01:09.040 shoe-in to you know show results soon but i don't know after seeing that report i think that
02:01:15.200 you know escalations will happen i believe uh i had an escalation happen last week
02:01:22.460 in florida what there was an experimental explosion reported off the central florida coast
02:01:27.560 and the conspiracy theories are is that the navy is testing some things
02:01:33.040 that's that's that's donald trump hey you want to go test something in the water
02:01:39.460 test it within view of cuba of course of course i mean i don't know if that's what happened but
02:01:45.180 but it seems totally logical and right in his wheelhouse.
02:01:48.600 One more clip.
02:01:49.960 Play this from Crockett.
02:01:53.540 Cut nine.
02:01:55.820 The World Cup that captured the imaginations of the entire world
02:02:00.120 when they saw all of these people of color that was playing for all these teams.
02:02:04.660 And ultimately, if you recall, the last two teams, it was Argentina and Spain.
02:02:10.040 and it seemed like the vast majority of the world
02:02:12.900 was rooting for Argentina
02:02:16.140 or actually against Argentina, right?
02:02:19.280 And why was that?
02:02:20.220 Just give me an explanation if you could get.
02:02:22.760 Against Argentina, that would be for Spain.
02:02:25.340 Spain had the best team.
02:02:26.440 Maybe that's why they were rooting for them.
02:02:29.420 There's also a racist history that exists
02:02:32.220 as relates to Argentina.
02:02:32.740 Mr. Byer, you're recognized.
02:02:34.120 Thank you, Jeff.
02:02:34.980 Stop, stop.
02:02:36.240 I can't, I can't, I can't.
02:02:37.320 A racist, you were voting
02:02:38.840 for Argentina because you were racist? Let me ask you, who was the country that financed the
02:02:48.580 colonization of America? Who was the country that financed the first ship to come over here?
02:02:56.640 It was Spain. How is it that Spain suddenly is not an oppressor? They're not a colonizer.
02:03:03.160 they paid for the ship to come over here in the first place they were the ones yes the Swedes did
02:03:09.740 it first please lay off they were the ones who discovered Americas I mean stop stop I can't take
02:03:18.020 it you know why I was rooting for Argentina I hate Spain and here's why I hate Spain
02:03:23.660 because they're not Argentina and Argentina is changing the world I was rooting for Argentina
02:03:33.100 his policies. I know no one else in the world was, but I'm like, these guys are changing the
02:03:38.420 economic world, man. They're showing that freedom actually works. I want them to win on their
02:03:44.720 economic policies. Spain, you're a communist country. You've been a communist country forever.
02:03:50.800 I wanted the free guys to win. All right, back in just a second.
02:03:56.700 Of course, not the colonizers. If you live with pain every day, after a while, it can start
02:04:01.880 feeling like you know part of who you are you say that's just my knee or it's just my back
02:04:05.360 naming it means accepting it forever sometimes i don't think you should do that except at least
