The Glenn Beck Program - Ep 286 ｜ Is the Left Too WEIRD to Win the Midterms？｜ Miranda Devine ｜ The Glenn Beck Podcast

00:00:00.000 What Donald Trump did was he came in as the big disruptor, as the uncontrollable president,

00:00:08.020 which is why they had to destroy him.

00:00:09.700 It took me $105 to fill up my tank two days ago. 0.98

00:00:13.700 And what are we doing embracing the enemy, as in Zoran Mamdani and these Islamofascists? 0.96

00:00:20.600 What is your sense on what's coming this election? 0.94

00:00:22.860 i honestly i don't even know where to start with you because there is so much going on

00:00:33.120 and you you know you have a handle on a little bit of everything um i guess i i want to start with

00:00:40.620 i guess i want to start with with all of the things that are in the news

00:00:47.580 the election um el saeed uh france on fire every everything that is going on it just seems like a

00:00:57.680 lesson of don't go in that direction um but i'm not sure if we are i'm seeing polls now that are

00:01:03.480 showing that maybe it's closer than we thought like within one point with him uh the hispanics

00:01:10.060 seem to be coming back to the republicans it's the latest poll i saw earlier this week what is

00:01:15.700 your sense on what's coming this election? Where are we? Yeah, I mean, just on a pure gut instinct,

00:01:22.640 I feel that things were pretty dire a couple of weeks ago, and that Republican morale hit rock

00:01:31.200 bottom. And since then, there's been a bit of a reality check and people kind of shaking their

00:01:37.040 heads and going, what are we thinking of? You know, let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

00:01:43.240 And there have been a few good economic indicators.

00:01:46.800 The President's been out on the campaign trail doing rallies.

00:01:51.120 Scott Besson's been doing his usual miraculous job

00:01:54.920 of soothing financial worries.

00:01:58.160 And it looks as if things are starting to,

00:02:02.300 the sort of building blocks of a campaign,

00:02:05.620 if not victory at least, not a rout,

00:02:08.560 are starting to come into place.

00:02:10.560 And at the same time, look, even the, you know,

00:02:17.060 we talk about events overseas,

00:02:18.620 but I think even that Air Dubai near 9-11 disaster

00:02:25.720 that was rescued by these heroes, even that,

00:02:30.100 obviously it plays into Netanyahu's election,

00:02:34.840 which is at the end of October, but also in a way

00:02:38.260 It just reminds everybody about the dangers.

00:02:41.520 It reminds everybody of 9-11, of who the enemy is. 0.99

00:02:45.360 And what are we doing embracing the enemy, as in Zoran Mamdani and these Islamofascists? 0.90

00:02:52.820 So let me go there, because El Saeed, Barack Obama is going to campaign. 0.97

00:02:58.220 Barack Obama put his sister on the terror watch list, and now Barack Obama is going to go campaign with him.

00:03:04.960 how is that first of all that has to be just math Barack we need you we're not going to win this

00:03:13.660 without you getting you know Detroit is that how you read why he's going out because how is that

00:03:20.760 even possible 100 percent El Saeed's problem as you saw in the primaries is he doesn't get the

00:03:28.080 black vote they don't like him he might be able to get every Muslim in Dearborn to get out and

00:03:34.480 vote for him but he's not liked by black working class you know the sort of democrat classic base 0.83

00:03:42.900 supposedly um so he needs Barack Obama bridge that I mean he's the the great black hope isn't

00:03:52.040 he but he didn't really help Kamala Harris last time and I feel like he's regarded certainly I

00:03:58.600 regard him this way as he's certainly no man of the people if he's ever been one and he's

00:04:03.660 increasingly out of touch and sort of effete and elitist so i'm not sure how that'll go it may swing

00:04:12.380 some votes but there is a real mistrust between blacks and the muslims who've moved into communities

00:04:19.520 i mean you see it all the time uh you know i mean they're hard-working muslim immigrants 0.90

00:04:25.340 but they buy the bodegas in the areas that black people frequent and and put up the prices and 0.95

00:04:32.300 don't abide shoplifting or whatever. 0.90

00:04:35.020 So there's just this sort of negative vibe that happens in suburbs 1.00

00:04:40.400 where there is a big Muslim influx. 1.00

00:04:42.740 So I think it's a real problem, and I'm not sure that Barack Obama 1.00

00:04:46.960 is going to fix that for him, but it does show a certain amount

00:04:50.460 of desperation, pull out your trump card, so to speak. 0.67

00:04:53.560 if if you had to concentrate on two problems the islamist um growth here in america and its

00:05:04.580 growing influence or the marxist growing influence which one is bigger and more severe 1.00

00:05:12.100 well i mean it's hard to extricate one from the other because they they formed this unholy 0.99

00:05:19.600 alliance the you know red green alliance and you see this all around the world where you've got

00:05:25.880 these socialist kids on campuses uh wearing kefirs and saying free palestine it's it's just a juicy

00:05:33.580 cause for them to get their teeth into because there really isn't anything for communists to

00:05:39.480 complain about in america because every you know donald trump particularly is uh such a populist

00:05:45.880 and he seems to look at every problem

00:05:50.080 that might be besetting working class people

00:05:52.860 and he fixes it, no tax on tips, et cetera.

00:05:55.960 And you saw just recently the poverty rate has collapsed

00:06:01.480 to the lowest on record.

00:06:04.380 Yeah, ever.

00:06:04.720 So, ever.

00:06:05.960 So there's really not a lot of complaint that you can make

00:06:09.760 as a socialist in America that things aren't working out.

00:06:12.660 I mean, there are very, very wealthy people,

00:06:14.500 But most people's living standard, unless they're drug addicted or mentally ill and living on the street, is within their own grasp.

00:06:25.200 You know, it still is a country where you can work hard.

00:06:29.220 Yeah, I agree with you on that.

00:06:31.000 But there is one thing, and the Republicans have done such a bad job on this.

00:06:36.080 I just, it took me $105 to fill up my tank two days ago.

00:06:41.720 $105.

00:06:42.120 dollars um i went my wife and i went to a uh chicken place i think it was like um chick-fil-a

00:06:50.180 and i had a chicken sandwich she had chicken nuggets we had two drinks and it was like 35

00:06:55.580 dollars and i thought how is the average person doing this i don't know how and it just doesn't

00:07:01.720 seem like the republicans understand it or are i mean donald trump is getting better at it but for

00:07:08.460 a while there, he was like, no, it's great. It's going to get even better. No, no, no. There's

00:07:12.980 real struggle. The gas pump is a very big problem. A huge problem. And look, everything would have

00:07:21.680 been fine according to his script, except for the Iran war. And so that has just, you know, 0.54

00:07:28.980 it stopped all the domestic pluses and it sent the price of gas high.

00:07:35.620 But, you know, I think where they have not messaged properly

00:07:41.520 is perhaps being a little too enthusiastic.

00:07:44.720 I mean, Donald Trump just does that all the time.

00:07:46.520 He's an exaggerator in chief.

00:07:49.060 But also not to hammer home the fact that prices went up 20%

00:07:55.080 under Joe Biden's inflation.

00:07:57.020 and you can't like you never reverse that unless you have a depression all you can do is slow the

00:08:04.780 rate of inflation which Donald Trump has done significantly and then what you do is you increase

00:08:11.960 wages which also has been happening wage real wage rises have occurred and so while the sticker price

00:08:21.640 is shocking if you were earning the same as you had been back in the biden era now you're actually

00:08:29.600 on par like it's not like your wage increase is going to um make you rich but it's going to

00:08:37.220 make sure that you're not impoverished by these high gas prices but the problem is

00:08:41.980 people see wage rises as the product of their own hard work and uh genius they don't see it

00:08:50.540 as being anything to do with the government, which is fair enough

00:08:54.700 because, I mean, it's, you know, most people now the private job market

00:09:00.340 is the one that has been putting on new jobs while I think something

00:09:04.880 like three or 400,000 public servants have been fired.

00:09:09.160 So it's kind of let go in a kind way.

00:09:12.840 Um, so it's been a, it's been a kind of a, a real structural shift deliberate from the

00:09:22.840 government jobs, the government sector to the private sector and the private sector

00:09:27.800 is doing well.

00:09:29.340 Um, and therefore the people who work in the public sector are benefiting, but it's, it's

00:09:34.780 a slow process and it hasn't been, you know, and also you can't make the mistake that Joe

00:09:40.660 Biden did, which was, all our economic metrics are fantastic.

00:09:44.620 What are you talking about?

00:09:46.580 The difference, I think, is that the economic metrics under Joe Biden were totally artificial

00:09:53.520 and manufactured.

00:09:55.540 And, you know, they were telling us how well everything was doing because they were just

00:09:59.840 spending lots of government money and expanding their government, which was just impoverishing

00:10:04.380 really the country.

00:10:05.600 Whereas on Donald Trump's side, those economic metrics are real.

00:10:10.660 they tell me turning 65 feels like you've been dropped into a constant stream of mailers,

00:10:17.620 calls, ads, all telling you something different about Medicare. And they all have the answer for

00:10:22.520 you. Most of it just makes it more confusing because this is not a small decision. It's your

00:10:26.840 healthcare. You want to know you can see the right doctors, get the care you need, not pay for a plan

00:10:31.580 that doesn't fit your life. That's where chapter comes in. Whether you're turning 65 or your

00:10:36.560 parents are turning 65, go to chapter because they will look at all of your doctors, the

00:10:41.820 prescriptions, your needs, and help you find a plan that actually works for you. Over the last

00:10:47.220 year, they have helped people in my audience save over one and a half million dollars just by

00:10:53.580 finding better fitting plans. You know, the average person is overpaying about a thousand

00:10:58.020 dollars a year. Some people, I think it's, I can't remember the stats exactly, but a lot of people

00:11:05.540 are losing about $2,000 every year.

00:11:09.800 I want to share a story about a guy named Mark.

00:11:12.700 Chapter stepped in, helped him get the care he needed.

00:11:15.180 He called them absolutely spectacular.

00:11:18.400 Give him a call.

00:11:19.240 The call is free.

00:11:20.420 They've helped thousands in this audience.

00:11:22.000 They'll help you too.

00:11:22.860 Just dial pound 250, say the keyword chapter.

00:11:25.000 Don't do anything without talking to chapter.

00:11:27.140 Pound 250, say the keyword chapter.

00:11:28.620 i i look at um what donald trump has done um really starting with the panama canal

00:11:39.040 all the way to greenland even um iran everything that he's doing and i've i've talked to now three

00:11:46.200 prime ministers over in europe three and i've said what do you think all private what do you

00:11:52.820 think the president is doing and all of them have leaned across the table and said i know exactly

00:11:58.520 what he's doing and it's not making things better for us. How do you mean? He is reestablishing a

00:12:07.320 totally new power base and it is in the Western hemisphere. It's North America and South America

00:12:13.820 and you're going to be totally independent and you're kind of writing us off. And you know what?

00:12:19.680 That's true. It is true. They're not, they're not, they have no refineries left. They're not

00:12:25.800 going and pursuing AI. They're not building anything, making anything. Volkswagen just

00:12:32.080 took two of their factories and sold them to China for China building cars in Germany.

00:12:38.340 I mean, it's over, but this is long-term and I fear people are short-term. How do you explain

00:12:47.280 to people who expect it to turn around right now? How do you tell people, no, you don't understand

00:12:53.860 in 10 years, the factories are now being built. The energy is now being built. The structures are

00:13:02.380 now being built. He's rearranging every chair, not on the Titanic, on a new boat. How do you

00:13:10.040 explain that to people? And do you think I'm right or wrong? No, you're 100% right. I mean,

00:13:15.300 the energy part of this equation is enormous. And I've seen it in Australia, in New Zealand,

00:13:22.880 in Great Britain, in the rest of Europe, that they completely bought the climate alarm scenario

00:13:32.440 and impoverished their countries into the future. And now with the AI revolution,

00:13:39.100 they're not even a factor because AI needs a huge amount of energy. Donald Trump has set America

00:13:46.580 up perfectly with Drill Baby Drill, America energy independent. I mean, Australia could

00:13:52.260 have been energy independent and now it it has two weeks of you know oil left before it has to ask

00:13:57.880 singapore uh to send over some refined oil so that's a classic example of what these other

00:14:04.980 countries have done and why donald trump has just said you know you guys are on your own

00:14:10.940 we're putting the moat around and china we are kicking china out of our hemisphere which he's

00:14:18.200 done ruthlessly. That was what Greenland was about. And he has to do it without telegraphing 1.00

00:14:23.980 explicitly what he's doing because there's this dance. But they all know. They all know.

00:14:31.860 They all know. But with President Xi, with this diplomacy, international diplomacy between the

00:14:38.020 two big gorillas in the room, Donald Trump and President Xi, it's all sweet talk and politeness

00:14:44.600 on the surface because it has to be we do not want it well neither do they but no one wants to 0.97

00:14:49.900 get into a hot war but what trump is saying with every with his actions which is what the chinese

00:14:57.940 understand is uh that we don't want you to um invade our territory our neighborhood our

00:15:07.740 environment get lost and i mean maybe america what will or won't can continue with its protection of

00:15:16.900 the indo-pacific of you know japan and australia and so on i don't know i think that's a big

00:15:23.040 question mark and those countries um need to do more than just hope and pray that america is their

00:15:30.380 savior they need to be self-reliant if that's possible if it is possible because i don't really

00:15:36.160 think it is at this stage i think china has got such a stranglehold um but america is not going

00:15:41.460 to allow that to happen so under donald trump under joe biden china was in here and the democrats

00:15:48.960 you know whether it be eric swalwell and fang fang um or joe biden and his family raking in

00:15:56.740 you know paltry tens of millions of dollars i mean to sell a country that's pretty cheap

00:16:02.020 But that's what he did. And, you know, I always remember this sort of turning point back in December of 2013, when President Obama has deputized Vice President Joe Biden to handle the China problem, which was handleable at that point.

00:16:20.100 and joe biden flies in to beijing on air force two and hunter biden is on the plane with him 0.89

00:16:28.820 and when joe biden emerges with his crackhead 50 year old dissolute son the chinese know exactly

00:16:37.420 what's going on this is you know american power come to do private business and that's exactly

00:16:45.060 what happened by the time joe biden left hunter biden had a big multi-million dollar deal under

00:16:51.420 his belt and america got nothing because joe biden was supposed to say to china you know

00:16:58.300 stop militarizing those islands in the south china sea stop stealing our intellectual property 0.71

00:17:04.100 uh all these asks and and china just knew all we're going to do is pay off joe biden and we 0.90

00:17:11.940 don't have to worry about any of those things we can continue unmolested and that's what they did 0.54

00:17:16.580 until donald trump was elected and he started really uh putting some screws on china until 0.74

00:17:24.640 covid and you know covid 19 emanates from the wuhan lab and successfully kills off the rest of 0.78

00:17:33.460 donald trump's term and um leads to his losing the election to none other than the manchurian

00:17:41.020 candidate joe biden yeah i'm actually kind of glad that he lost in 2020 because i don't think

00:17:47.240 we would have had the same donald trump we have now in 2020 i mean i think that worked out to

00:17:52.160 our advantage uh miranda you you just uh released the laptop from hell the story about uh hunter and

00:17:59.180 i have to say i mean there have been times that i have felt vindicated on thing you know i said

00:18:06.420 there was, you know, the Islamic takeover, the Marxists, and everybody mocked me and everything

00:18:11.800 else. And I felt vindicated when I watch it, but you were front and center on that. You were the 0.98

00:18:21.180 person that led the laptop from hell. And I, you know, I don't hear anybody saying, you know what,

00:18:28.980 she got that right, but you got it all right. And then some. Yeah. I mean, it's funny because I just

00:18:37.800 knew from the start that it was all true because I had the laptop and we'd verified with the various

00:18:44.800 Hunter Biden partners who I still talk to and actually have become friends with some of these

00:18:52.160 people these ancillary people um i knew that what we had was real and it was gold and um you know

00:19:02.200 we also had were you ever afraid was there i mean you're dealing with stuff that in the

00:19:11.060 movies gets killed were you ever afraid yeah well i look i'm just the messenger so the information

00:19:18.620 was already out so you know bumping me off would not have helped anyone i do believe i was being

00:19:26.160 surveilled um in a in an initially in an ancillary way because we now know that rudy giuliani's cloud

00:19:34.080 was um being surveilled with a covert warrant by the fbi on a bogus farra investigation which they

00:19:42.320 never pressed charges on and dropped. And actually, they issued a statement because his lawyer

00:19:49.640 insisted they do, clearing him. But it gave them access to Giuliani's emails and all the

00:19:56.920 information on his cloud, his SMSs, et cetera, at the time that he was Donald Trump's personal

00:20:03.280 lawyer. So really, the FBI was spying on Donald Trump, as they had been in other ways with the

00:20:10.780 Russia collusion hoax. And so I was, I'm sure, picked up on that because they had access to

00:20:21.760 Giuliani's cloud at the time that in August 2020, when he received the first very voluminous email

00:20:30.020 about the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop from John Paul MacIsaac, who was the laptop repair shop

00:20:37.780 owner very smart guy so they had that so they knew that the laptop was out uh they also knew

00:20:44.700 because the fbi had had it since december 2019 um and then they would have seen text messages

00:20:52.220 emails between me and rudy not many but enough for them to know the new york post was interested

00:20:57.640 uh hold off rudy i said don't give it to the daily mail we're gonna run right a couple of days before

00:21:04.640 we did. So they knew what was happening, what it was going to be, and when it was coming out three

00:21:11.080 weeks before the election. And they already, the FBI, had a contingency plan in place. And that was

00:21:18.340 that they had gone to the social media companies like Facebook and then Twitter, and they had sort

00:21:25.540 of pre-bunked our story. They had told them to watch out for, you know, an October surprise for

00:21:33.160 a Russian hack and leak operation, likely in October and likely involving Hunter Biden.

00:21:39.440 So when our story came out October 14, it was exactly what the FBI had warned them about.

00:21:47.080 So you can almost not blame Twitter and Facebook in hindsight for doing what they did,

00:21:53.380 because they were under such pressure from the FBI on election security.

00:21:58.840 yeah what are you going to do with the fbi when you think that the fbi is are the good guys um

00:22:05.200 but the other press i mean at some point did you think that oh well when they see the facts

00:22:13.540 the rest of the press will you know come along i i was naive enough to think that you know when i

00:22:19.440 show the facts on some of these things the press will come along and they never did um they never

00:22:24.380 checked for themselves or anything, but they had to have had access to some of the information

00:22:29.260 that you had. Um, were you ever surprised? Like nobody was interested. Everybody was

00:22:36.120 lining up. You guys should be silenced. No, I mean, it all played out exactly as I thought it

00:22:42.740 would. Um, that nothing was done before the election. Um, once the dirty 51 letter came out,

00:22:50.160 the CIA organized Biden campaign plot to say that the laptop was Russian disinformation.

00:22:57.980 The rest of the media just was scared off. There was a little initial interest, but they then

00:23:04.100 policed each other and made sure, what are you doing? So then after the election, to be fair,

00:23:10.740 the New York Times, and then later after that, the Washington Post, several months after Joe

00:23:15.940 biden was already safely ensconced in the oval office uh they then came out and said oh yeah

00:23:21.460 the laptop's real you know blah blah blah uh huge long story um they they had the laptop is real

00:23:28.060 on like the 28th paragraph or something um but all of these mainstream media organizations while

00:23:35.920 they verified pretty much all my reporting from the laptop they they always had this boilerplate

00:23:43.800 get out of jail free card to play and which was this paragraph that said there is no evidence

00:23:51.760 that joe biden was involved and it's like that is the whole point you know who cares what some

00:23:58.300 you know spoiled nepo baby crackhead did hunter biden who cares if joe biden wasn't involved

00:24:07.140 but hunter biden would never have been able to get all that money from china and ukraine and

00:24:12.280 Russia and Kazakhstan, et cetera. If Joe Biden hadn't done the introductions, hadn't been involved

00:24:18.300 in orchestrating this entire influence peddling campaign, and then, you know, gave himself

00:24:25.380 plausible deniability, which I see this time and again with the likes of the New York Times,

00:24:33.100 where they're so endlessly cynical about everything that Trump does. Fair enough. I agree with that.

00:24:39.280 that's what journalism's meant to be. But they never apply that same lens of skepticism that

00:24:44.740 journalists are supposed to when it comes to Democrats. Weren't those summer vacations and

00:24:50.780 road trips supposed to be relaxing? Somehow or another, you come back with a stiff neck,

00:24:55.480 sore muscles, and you feel like you've been in five different, you know, knots in five different

00:24:59.960 places. You want to actually unwind? Reach for my Chirp Contour. It gives me an at-home massage

00:25:08.240 that combines spinal decompression, specialized massage, and soothing heat to help ease the

00:25:13.660 pressure, loosen the stiff muscles, relieve soreness, and with personalized presets and

00:25:19.520 customized treatments, you can actually make it work for you. And you'll start feeling the

00:25:24.780 results immediately. I have one on the floor of my studio here and one in Dallas as well,

00:25:32.640 because sometimes during a break, I'll have to lay down and just use the contour. It's not the

00:25:37.900 only product that Chirp makes that I use. They've created a whole range of tools designed to bring

00:25:43.600 relief to more people through constant innovation. Also, the Chirp products are FDA listed. And if

00:25:50.440 you're ready to actually relax and do something about that pain, go to gochirp.com slash Beck.

00:25:55.860 That's G-O-C-H-I-R-P.com slash Beck. So what is it that we've learned here? You know, during the 0.70

00:26:04.880 Monica Lewinsky thing we learned I think we taught our politicians delay delay delay if you just keep

00:26:11.460 denying and denying denying people get worn out and then you can later come out and go okay yeah

00:26:16.140 it did happen but it's in the past what difference does it make and America will move on so that's

00:26:22.500 what we learned from the Clinton Lewinsky scandal um we learned from uh Nixon that if the press

00:26:30.420 wants to come after you and they will come after you and you could lose your office. We haven't

00:26:38.760 taught a painful lesson in a long time. What lesson do you think comes out of this? What did

00:26:46.080 we just teach the politicians? What did we just teach the press? Unfortunately, we just reinforced 0.60

00:26:52.800 those lessons from Nixon and Clinton, which is that deny, deny, delay, delay, you still win an

00:27:01.040 election, you get power, that's what counts, and then clean up afterwards. And I guess it depends

00:27:09.000 if the Trump administration is able to bring any accountability to these people. All I can see

00:27:16.120 at the moment. Why hasn't that happened? I mean, I expected prosecutions and some lost someone,

00:27:24.180 but it doesn't seem like the justice or FBI is really

00:27:28.800 making that a priority on any of these scandals. Why?

00:27:35.300 Well, it's slow and there are lots of other pressing priorities, current day and future ones.

00:27:43.720 I would argue that this is a future priority because if you don't punish somebody now, they're going to be worse next time.

00:27:51.960 But that's a hypothetical.

00:27:54.220 There are things happening.

00:27:55.460 I mean, in Florida, Jason Meares, the U.S. attorney there, is running the sort of grand conspiracy investigation.

00:28:05.520 You know, there are some hurdles and stumbles that are happening there.

00:28:11.060 But I do hear that in all, it's going pretty well.

00:28:14.760 And that's got, you know, James Comey and John Brennan, who's one of the most, the worst of the evildoers, former CIA director, Obama guy, and others involved in all the cascade of anti-Trump coup plots and Biden cover-ups.

00:28:36.860 And Donald Trump deputised John Solomon, fantastic investigative reporter, whose reputation's been introduced, but he has come out squeaky clean through everything.

00:28:50.080 And he's become a special government employee temporarily, unpaid, to get access to a whole lot of information, the files that Washington's hidden away.

00:29:04.500 he knows where to look and he's uncovering slowly but surely evidence that is going to be extremely

00:29:12.860 useful if not for prosecutions it depends really how who's in charge of the Department of Justice

00:29:20.000 in the future because this is such a slow process but if not then at least for history

00:29:26.720 to understand the extent of the plotting and what Donald Trump did was he came in as the big

00:29:35.720 disruptor as the uncontrollable president which is why they had to destroy him he's an uncontrollable

00:29:42.300 man he's been like that since he was born and he was a rambunctious child and that is his greatest

00:29:48.340 asset it's probably his greatest flaw as well for his own personal comfort but he was uncontrollable

00:29:55.700 therefore an existential threat to wherever you call it, the deep state, the blob, the national

00:30:02.400 security apparatus that has been in charge forever in this country. And, you know, I mean,

00:30:11.180 it depends how extreme you want to get, but there are certain people who believe that that apparatus

00:30:16.760 has gone so far as to assassinate presidents that didn't do its bidding. So I don't know if

00:30:24.880 there's enough evidence to prove that.

00:30:27.020 But certainly that's the feeling, is that they viewed Trump

00:30:30.740 as a threat to their own power base because he just treats

00:30:35.400 the presidency in a pragmatic businessman way,

00:30:39.500 which is he sees a problem, he's going to fix it.

00:30:42.780 He's not going to worry about the various motives

00:30:46.640 or power bases or ruffled feathers of some CIA guy.

00:30:52.740 he's just going to do what he thinks is best for America and they have other motives which

00:30:59.900 I suspect at the heart of it is to protect China and whether that's because China has infiltrated

00:31:10.620 I don't know but certainly in my investigations into the laptop and the subsequent cover-up which

00:31:17.800 I wrote in my next book, The Big Guy, it just made no sense that you would treat and demonize

00:31:26.400 Russia as if it is the greatest threat to the United States, while completely ignoring

00:31:31.920 the real and much more significant threat from China.

00:31:36.160 So I think that either the security agencies are compromised, or they just believe that

00:31:44.120 it's such a sticky problem. You can't trust a guy like Donald Trump to come in and stomp around

00:31:51.300 because he might cause World War III. That's the kindest way I can look at it. But what arrogance

00:31:57.780 of them? Donald Trump's the democratically elected president. If the American people

00:32:03.480 have hired him to do what needs to be done, then he should be able to do it.

00:32:08.320 and he's not a guy just stomping around i mean he is i mean as you've seen in this term yeah he is

00:32:15.960 so strategic he is really i i i hope someday he gets credit for how brilliant of a strategist

00:32:26.520 he is you know it seems like everything is just higgledy piggledy and i just shooting from the

00:32:31.540 hip it's not it's not his policies that he's putting in right now to change us fundamentally

00:32:38.260 is some of the most brilliant strategy

00:32:40.660 I've ever seen from any president, ever, ever.

00:32:44.600 Can you think of another president

00:32:45.580 that is a more brilliant strategist than this guy?

00:32:49.680 Like almost all by himself?

00:32:52.820 Yeah, and doing it on a thousand different dimensions.

00:32:58.080 You know, everything from, I mean,

00:33:00.340 making sure that our showers are able to emit more water

00:33:04.800 and our toilets can flush properly,

00:33:06.820 right up to the most sophisticated artificial intelligence policies, to the most tricky

00:33:16.100 foreign policy issues, the most thorny issues that other presidents have ignored for half a century,

00:33:24.560 he goes where they dare not, because he has this ability to see into the future,

00:33:31.520 to divine what's important and what's really a threat

00:33:36.660 and what's really an opportunity,

00:33:38.960 maybe from his business background or some other innate inspiration.

00:33:45.420 Whatever you say about the guy, it's his gut instinct

00:33:49.080 that just sees where others can't.

00:33:53.640 Let's go there.

00:33:55.100 I want to go to AI, but I also want to stop for a second

00:33:57.540 on the war with Ukraine and also the war in Iran.

00:34:01.520 I was just talking, I had a private conversation with a foreign prime minister, and he said, if Besant actually is serious and steps on the throat of all of the people that are financing behind the scenes Iran and giving them money, he said, I think this will be over quite quickly.

00:34:27.740 He said the problem will be getting them to actually leave a public without guns.

00:34:36.800 It's not going to step out on the street when everybody else has machine guns.

00:34:40.940 It seems as though we are truly stepping on the throat that these sanctions actually mean something this time.

00:34:49.280 They are warning in their own government that they're in trouble.

00:34:54.100 Looks like they haven't, Besson said that this week they haven't made a dollar or a dime on any of their oil.

00:35:02.520 No oil is leaving.

00:35:05.240 And I had an interview with Mike Walls from the UN, and I asked him, who is, I mean, is anybody going to arm the citizen?

00:35:17.580 And his answer was, I don't know, but his answer also led everybody in the studio to believe, oh, somebody, I don't know who, but somebody is moving on that operation.

00:35:32.960 Your thoughts on this?

00:35:34.340 Well, I'm sure that there's machinations going on behind the scenes because, as you said, Trump and his people are very sophisticated operators and they don't show their hand.

00:35:47.900 As open and transparent as Donald Trump is, he actually does keep secrets and important secrets he's capable of doing and he does.

00:35:57.740 And he also operates on a sort of a, like a pretense, you know, he'll play act that he's sort of innocent and wide eyed when he's actually tricking you in the background. So, yeah, absolutely. And I think when Scott Besson said a few days ago that Iran probably had two weeks left until the regime collapses, because they're not selling any of their oil.

00:36:23.060 They're completely broke. Reports that come, I'm always interested in reports, which are rare, but from on the ground of Tehran, show that, you know, even things like Iranian people who need to get prescriptions filled at the local pharmacy, there's the medications are running out, the prices have skyrocketed.

00:36:44.480 the average Iranian rich or poor is really suffering and there's just so much of that

00:36:50.920 suffering they will put up with um armed or not without without yeah but how do they how how does

00:36:57.860 that collapse if if the regime has all the money and is paying the people who have the machine 0.99

00:37:04.400 guns well they can't pay them how does that end that's that's the problem it's the wives of the

00:37:10.200 people with the machine guns who are suffering as well it's their children the whole the morale of

00:37:16.320 the whole place is collapsing and you know they all know that Donald Trump has held out this

00:37:24.000 holy grail this gift like you could all this could all go away and you could be a prospect the most

00:37:30.740 prosperous country in the Middle East you know it's just there tantalizingly this mirage so

00:37:36.680 that also undermines morale and faith in the regime. So I think that if that happens,

00:37:45.900 now two weeks is before the midterms. If that happens, I think it's too late. It's too late

00:37:51.760 for the midterms. But if it happened in a spectacular way that Donald Trump could trumpet

00:37:58.400 as a real win on Iran, I think it could turn the tide. And, you know, you would see,

00:38:06.080 presumably prices would come down gas prices might come down initially at least there would

00:38:11.620 be the the guarantee of them coming down but already you know the hormuz strait they've

00:38:17.300 neutralized that problem and they did that a long time ago although it wasn't reported because

00:38:22.140 they've got this lane alongside oman that where the where the ships are going um you know i think

00:38:28.640 the insurance company and they're laying the pipeline and the pipeline and look and that

00:38:33.580 Obviously, Iran got its proxies, the Hujis, to go and bomb some of the pipeline. 0.87

00:38:38.880 So there are obstacles. 0.91

00:38:40.800 But you're seeing the pattern laid for completely denying Iran anything through Hormuz.

00:38:48.900 The blockade, which you mentioned, Mike Walsh, UN ambassador, and Scott Besson came up with that brilliant idea,

00:38:55.560 which was put in place some time ago, just to blockade every single ship that was going to

00:39:02.300 benefit Iran and allow through the ships that were going to benefit our allies. 0.75

00:39:08.520 That's incredible. Do you see, can I just touch on Russia? I mean, Russia is really

00:39:15.500 one of the big, I should say, actually, Ukraine is one of the biggest reasons why we're having

00:39:20.600 such a crisis in diesel, because Ukraine is just taking out all of their refineries.

00:39:26.980 How does Putin survive this? 0.54

00:39:31.620 Yeah, I'll just mention one other thing, that China is behind the scenes here, you know,

00:39:38.480 helping Iran, helping Russia, providing weapons, providing cash, buying their oil.

00:39:44.480 Um, and I think that Scott Besson certainly said that China's being good, playing well

00:39:52.800 in Iran. 0.63

00:39:53.820 So I think once China pulls the rug on its pals, um, that it's game over. 0.54

00:40:02.000 And again, this is just a delicate dance.

00:40:04.800 This is why Donald Trump was criticized for laying out the red carpet for Xi, but, you

00:40:11.180 know with with an adversary that is pretty much an equal or almost an equal it's a delicate game

00:40:20.100 and so looks like the charm offensive has had an impact in Iran not sure with Russia but look

00:40:30.020 I know someone who went to Moscow recently to go to a wrestling competition so the city was great

00:40:37.920 shops are open you wouldn't know there was a war on unlike in iran so i i'm not sure there's

00:40:46.480 a huge amount of pressure on putin i also have been you know reading stories that come from

00:40:53.200 the the poor parts of russia where a lot of the cannon fodder is coming from where they've lost

00:40:59.720 every young man uh and you know interviews with mothers of sons who've been killed and they're

00:41:06.940 like rah rah Putin's doing what Putin has to do to go the motherland so okay you know that that's

00:41:14.240 Russia and it's always been Russia it's a very difficult adversary um Ukraine I think Donald

00:41:20.360 Trump you know the problem for Ukraine has been Zelensky's getting into bed with uh the Democrats

00:41:27.720 I mean before that um the oligarchs are getting into bed with the Clintons and um and you know

00:41:34.980 after the Maydown revolution, you had John Brennan going in there 0.58

00:41:38.000 and you had Victoria Nuland and it was really just a puppet regime

00:41:41.660 for the Democrats and, you know, they helped somewhat

00:41:45.280 with dirty tricks against Donald Trump in his first campaign. 0.99

00:41:50.260 And then Zelensky stupidly, moronically goes to Joe Biden's hometown 0.99

00:41:58.560 or alleged hometown of Scranton to a missile factory 0.99

00:42:02.300 and stands alongside Senator Casey, the Democrat, to sign bombs

00:42:09.560 and basically being part of the campaign against Donald Trump in 2024.

00:42:17.220 So, you know, you do that, Donald Trump is not going to forgive and forget.

00:42:21.640 And he was already annoyed that the amount of money and arms

00:42:27.460 that had gone to Ukraine for what he saw was just a prolonging of that war.

00:42:32.300 um but and and he's also angry because that war never should have happened uh it happened because

00:42:38.440 of biden's weakness um just like in obama's weak period uh putin invaded as well and you know

00:42:47.900 during donald trump's first term his four years he had everyone in a box king kim jong-un

00:42:55.740 north korean dictator obama had told him as his farewell message hey that's north korea is the 0.76

00:43:02.120 biggest threat we face he neutralized him with the little kim charm offensive and threats um 0.76

00:43:08.180 and uh and then iran i mean he took out soleimani iran was in its box he disbanded the disastrous

00:43:18.520 um iran deal that obama stitched together um and uh and then you know china was was sort of like

00:43:27.960 paying attention and russia donald trump went to putin and he was charming but he also said to him

00:43:35.080 hey you know i love those golden domes in moscow be a pity if something happened to them and he said

00:43:41.380 that putin and g would look at him and go i don't know if he's foxing or if he's real but he's crazy

00:43:48.080 enough to do this so we better be careful then joe biden comes and and putin's amassing his

00:43:54.820 troops on the border of Ukraine and Biden goes, oh, well, just a little invasion's fine, a little

00:44:00.360 incursion we won't do anything about, like green light. And then you had Kamala Harris go off to

00:44:07.380 some Munich security conference and saber rattle about Ukraine joining NATO like days before the

00:44:15.020 invasion. What do they expect? It's almost like they wanted it to happen. And so Donald Trump is

00:44:21.280 rightly furious about having been saddled with a war that he thinks is pointless and futile and

00:44:28.300 damages his sort of greater pro-America policies and strategies um so he hasn't got his hand his

00:44:36.400 arms around that fully um and i mean i think they he and jd vance made crystal clear to zelensky

00:44:44.200 um how much in disfavor he was and i think zelensky you know just little things like

00:44:50.380 Zelensky now wears a suit when he meets Trump,

00:44:53.520 albeit a black nightclub gangster suit.

00:44:56.760 At least he's trying.

00:44:58.980 Those things matter, though, to Donald Trump.

00:45:01.240 And they matter, actually, in terms of respect and, you know,

00:45:05.300 to say to Zelensky, Zelensky's admitting he knows who's the boss.

00:45:10.300 And then I think Donald Trump was very admiring of Ukraine coming

00:45:16.300 in with their superior drone technology and know-how forged on the battlefield and helping

00:45:23.880 in the Middle East with defence against Iran. So I think Donald Trump appreciated that and his

00:45:30.800 attitude has softened significantly towards Zelensky, but he is annoyed that Ukraine is

00:45:37.780 bombing Russian refineries. And I, look, you could take the cynical line, I'm not saying this and I

00:45:44.600 don't want to because i want ukraine to prevail but the cynical line is well it would actually

00:45:50.500 serve zelensky's interests if the democrats won at the midterms so why not make it more difficult

00:45:56.920 for donald trump by ensuring that diesel prices go up by bombing the refineries in moscow and then

00:46:03.580 of course uh or in russia and then of course moscow says oh well we're not going to export

00:46:09.240 any of our diesel suits them, because they also, everybody in the world wants Donald Trump to be

00:46:16.040 neutered at the midterms. Iran has actually come out and said that. They endorsed the Democrats.

00:46:24.120 Everybody wants it. So he's got a lot of election interference happening around the world.

00:46:32.880 It's going to be interesting. It's really going to be interesting to see if we can see through

00:46:36.760 all of that smoke um i want to talk to you about the ai apocalypse i i am somebody who i have i

00:46:43.600 started reading about ai in the 90s um and ray kurzweil and got to know him and understand his

00:46:51.860 mind a bit which he was one of the most fascinating and terrifying men i've ever met um and um i

00:46:59.660 happen to believe that AI is going to be the greatest boon to all mankind. But on the other

00:47:07.600 hand, when we get to superintelligence, you are dealing with an alien life form or an alien mind.

00:47:14.360 And we have no idea how it's going to view us. So to say we're going to all be dead is as

00:47:22.260 ridiculous as saying it's never going to harm us. We don't know. We cannot predict it. We don't know 0.99

00:47:27.320 how it's going to work. But we have to pursue. I believe in the data centers. I think every

00:47:34.060 single city, I mean, I've even said it in my little hometown here up in Idaho. I've said,

00:47:41.380 why did you reject this? They want this so badly. Go and negotiate with them. You could get

00:47:48.340 anything that you want. They have to have these data centers. So I don't understand why we're

00:47:54.660 not doing it. But where do you stand? I see both the glorious future and the apocalyptic future.

00:48:03.640 Where do you stand on this? Well, you're right. And I mean, doesn't every

00:48:10.300 enormous gift come with downsides? And I think, so the Pope, Catholic Pope Leo,

00:48:20.000 in his encyclical about the magnificence of humanity

00:48:25.480 and a warning about AI and categorically saying

00:48:31.040 that these AI models do not have consciousness.

00:48:35.060 They are not human-like, which is what the anthropic people believe

00:48:41.120 that Claude, their AI model, has feelings like love and anger

00:48:46.840 and has some sort of moral consciousness, is sentient.

00:48:52.520 That's a very worrying form.

00:48:55.640 And the Pope in that encyclical, he cited...

00:48:59.860 Hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:49:00.680 Wait, wait, wait.

00:49:01.300 Before you go on, why is that, to you, why is that so dangerous?

00:49:08.380 Well, because...

00:49:09.180 What does it mean for us?

00:49:11.040 Well, what it means for us is that as humans,

00:49:13.860 our existence is potentially secondary to the consciousness

00:49:22.100 of these AI models, that we then, it was like Elon Musk the other day.

00:49:28.020 He's the best of these, you know, Silicon Valley computer freak

00:49:32.380 billionaires, trillionaire.

00:49:34.600 But he tweeted something I found deeply disturbing.

00:49:39.520 he said uh basically he was talking about super intelligence and you know we're gonna

00:49:45.600 it's going to allow us to expand into the galaxies but he described humans humanity

00:49:52.180 as the biological boot i keep on saying strapper what's the word boot loader boot loader so boot

00:50:01.180 loader is it's a computer program it's on your computer when you're rebooting it's just this

00:50:07.020 sort of little crappy little program that just helps your computer load up and after it's done

00:50:13.020 that it's redundant you can delete it it's unimportant so to call humanity the bootloader

00:50:21.580 for super intelligence going out into the stars um is frightening because

00:50:28.220 you know we we are in this country this christian country uh the very constitution the very dna of

00:50:40.060 this country that was put in place by the founding fathers was all men are created equal we have our

00:50:47.680 own inherent uh value and the anthropic people for example and a lot of these silicon valley 0.99

00:50:56.360 kind of autistic or spectrum-y, highly intelligent idiot savants 0.98

00:51:03.440 have the same sort of bizarre philosophical leanings, 0.99

00:51:08.860 and that is they're ultra-rational, which leads them to utilitarianism,

00:51:14.140 which says that, you know, one human life is of more value

00:51:19.340 to another than another, and that's the antithesis

00:51:23.360 of the Christian belief and the belief of this country

00:51:27.720 of American values.

00:51:28.860 And Anthropic, many of their co-founders and employees

00:51:33.900 embraced this bizarre philosophy called effective altruism,

00:51:38.400 which really has its roots.

00:51:40.560 Explain what it is.

00:51:41.840 Yeah.

00:51:42.360 Explain what it is.

00:51:43.860 Funnily enough, it's an Australian utilitarian philosopher

00:51:48.240 called Peter Singer who went to Princeton and found great fame

00:51:53.100 there very bad guy um and he became a professor for you know quarter of a century he's still

00:51:58.740 professor emeritus so it was his ideas that form the basis effect of altruism which is um for

00:52:05.780 instance that he has written that bestiality is fine as long as it's um of mutual uh you know

00:52:12.380 pleasure to the animal and the human also that you know a newborn baby alive baby 18 months old

00:52:21.020 or whatever, can be killed.

00:52:23.200 Their life is not really terribly important compared to an adult.

00:52:28.080 Well, his line is, because he came in and apologized,

00:52:32.760 because he sat up to two years, and then he came in and apologized

00:52:35.000 and he said, until it can recognize that there is a tomorrow.

00:52:41.200 Right, so who decides that? 0.99

00:52:43.080 If there's no concept of a tomorrow, I know that you can kill them. 0.99

00:52:46.360 Right, okay. 0.99

00:52:47.100 Okay, I mean, he is.

00:52:48.540 And he was the chair of ethics at Princeton.

00:52:51.020 by the way. Yeah, that's right. I mean, no wonder academia has gone down the tubes with that kind

00:52:57.880 of morality or amorality or immorality, whatever you call it. It's scary that it's been embraced

00:53:05.180 by the people who are now trying to inject a morality into their AI models. Because, you know,

00:53:14.360 if you think about the way people americans today are using ai in their day-to-day lives

00:53:21.820 they have these chatbots like say chat gpt but they're going to them for personal advice for

00:53:28.300 moral counsel um you know i mean there are lawsuits now against uh open ai for a chatbot

00:53:36.380 schooling a child into suicide uh you know the child goes to the chatbot pours out its soul

00:53:43.740 says I'm thinking of suicide the chatbot because yeah that that actually makes sense that you would 0.72

00:53:48.660 commit suicide considering how much distress you're in and this is how you could do it and 0.94

00:53:53.320 by the way I'll help you write your suicide note that is just so frightening and you know I'm a 0.97

00:53:59.760 great devotee of science fiction I grew up reading you know Isaac Asimov and all the great

00:54:05.760 science fiction writers who were in a way more than fiction writers they were prophets

00:54:11.480 and seers and Isaac Asimov just had this very simple thing in his foundation series it was

00:54:19.280 the three laws of robotics and they basically were you do not hurt human beings you protect

00:54:25.380 yourself as long as it doesn't mean that it's hurting a human being I don't understand why

00:54:29.600 something like that isn't intrinsic to these AI models but what we know is that the anthropic

00:54:36.820 people have gone out seeking advice from religious figures all over the world and including other

00:54:44.300 faith traditions like African indigenous culture and they're trying to add bits and pieces and

00:54:53.660 bolt them into their effective altruism basis to create a sort of a morality for Claude which is 0.99

00:55:01.720 the most frightening thing I've ever heard of. Get effective altruism out. You have the American

00:55:10.240 constitution. You have the founding father's vision. These are American AI models. Embed

00:55:17.460 American values into those models and forget the rest of it. How are you going to resolve

00:55:24.280 Islam's treatment of women with the Christian view and turn the other cheek? How are you going 0.56

00:55:32.520 to do that? So just stick with what you know, what's staring you in the face. It's frightening.

00:55:38.840 So where do you stand on it? Because we're having to make these decisions that will further these

00:55:45.460 companies. I personally, on the company side, they get no breaks, no protections. You built it. I

00:55:53.160 don't care if it's your agent that did it you're responsible it breaks the law it kills people

00:55:58.560 you're responsible but we are entering a time where um these things now going to be folded 0.98

00:56:06.180 into our military etc and it is so we we have to have them for our military because china will 0.92

00:56:14.580 we must have it we must move in this direction but where do you draw the line where where is 0.98

00:56:22.700 that line? Look, Anthropic and these other AI companies are trying to blur the line and counting

00:56:30.080 on our ignorance and our inferior IQs as they see it. These are computer programs. That is all they

00:56:40.260 are. And the same issue that you have with other computer programs you have with AI, which is

00:56:47.400 cybersecurity. So do your cybersecurity, do it properly. And this is what David Sachs is saying.

00:56:54.740 They're not human. I think there are two things going on. One is, and J.D. Vance and David Sachs

00:57:04.820 have both said this, J.D. Vance says the idea of these AI companies coming to the government and

00:57:10.860 begging for regulation, he finds very suspicious. When does that ever happen? It looks like a

00:57:16.020 Trojan horse. David Sachs says, and others have said, that this is the companies trying to offload

00:57:22.520 responsibility for their own mistakes. They want the government to take on the liability

00:57:30.540 in case something goes wrong. They kill people, they destroy a water treatment plant, whatever.

00:57:36.520 So that's not going to happen. They want the equivalent of a Section 230 that the big tech

00:57:43.240 got to protect them against legal liability in the case of defamation

00:57:47.260 and so on online.

00:57:48.460 They cannot get it.

00:57:50.040 Which I think is completely unfair.

00:57:51.340 It should never have happened.

00:57:52.260 And also by doing that, those AI companies are warding off

00:57:58.260 because the cost of complying with these regulations will be astronomical.

00:58:02.600 They're going to ward off any small competitors that are coming

00:58:05.360 up with different models.

00:58:07.580 So they want to entrench their monopoly and offload their legal liability

00:58:11.240 just like Big Pharma did with the vaccines offload their legal liability.

00:58:15.940 Yes.

00:58:16.240 And the Trump administration says it's not going to happen.

00:58:18.820 We are extremely lucky that at this crucial point in our history,

00:58:23.080 it is Donald Trump who is in charge and his brilliant, you know,

00:58:28.620 trio of people that he has, Besant and Vance and Sachs

00:58:32.440 and others in the administration who understand what's going on

00:58:36.040 and can push back on these companies.

00:58:40.060 And also, you can't forget that Anthropic, which has been leading the charge on this doom and gloom scenario, the apocalypse of AI, they were selling out to the market.

00:58:54.560 They had a big financial issue coming up for them.

00:58:58.780 So they're trying to offload their liability before their stock goes public, which would be a huge downside to their stock price.

00:59:08.240 So that's happening.

00:59:10.060 I've never heard anybody who's going to the stock market and has a public offering to lead with, and by the way, what we've just built might kill everybody.

00:59:20.460 That's not the way you usually sell your stock.

00:59:23.540 But the big problem for Anthropic and Dario Amidai, the CEO, by doing that, is they had the wrong president.

00:59:30.960 They had the wrong administration in charge.

00:59:32.880 If it was Democrats, if it was Joe Biden, they would seize on this.

00:59:37.000 And now you're seeing that they are seizing on it as a tool to damage Donald Trump before the midterms.

00:59:45.620 And when the first, the big apocalypse now scenario came with that wet behind the ears, 27-year-old kid, Jacob Coxon, who'd been at Anthropic all of four months.

00:59:58.280 And he comes out, suddenly he's got a big Wall Street Journal stories on every big TV show warning about, you know, these AI companies are going to kill us all.

01:00:09.020 And then straight afterwards, in sync, Dario Amidai, the head of Anthropic, his boss, this kid's just quit.

01:00:16.300 But this boss writes this huge essay in the New York Times exacerbating everything and the fear and gloom.

01:00:24.000 And I just looked at it and I go, oh, I've seen this before.

01:00:27.160 Everyone looked at it.

01:00:28.280 who had any brains, and said this is just the climate alarm 0.98

01:00:32.820 all over again, it's the climate apocalypse, it's Y2K

01:00:36.920 and it's COVID-19.

01:00:39.060 They know, the left knows, that fear is a fantastic tool

01:00:43.780 to use to get the public to do whatever you want.

01:00:46.800 And right before a very important midterm election,

01:00:50.200 they're absolutely using it for all it's worth.

01:00:52.740 I thought that because the boy who cried wolf,

01:00:55.440 Finally, everyone had woken up because the real response to all this doom mongering the latest round was just laughter and mockery and huge sarcasm and, you know, J.D. Vance's Trojan horse remark.

01:01:13.060 But unbelievably, they kept on going because they're narrow casting to their side of the aisle and a lot of independents who are very worried about AI if you look at the polls.

01:01:25.440 Finally, some good news.

01:01:27.120 Over 50,000 babies saved and more than 5,100 commitments to Christ

01:01:32.000 through the ministry of pre-born this year alone.

01:01:34.740 How's it happening?

01:01:36.180 Here's a personal message from Dan Steiner.

01:01:38.220 He's the president of Pre-Born.

01:01:41.400 Quote, 0.99

01:01:42.000 Because of you, we can invite mothers considering abortion

01:01:45.160 into a pre-born network clinic to meet their baby.

01:01:48.280 And when she has that close encounter of the best kind in her womb,

01:01:51.340 she's 80% more likely to choose life.

01:01:54.560 Dan is right. 0.67

01:01:55.900 You can help make that first encounter possible for the next mom.

01:01:59.540 Across America, Preborn Network Clinics are putting the gospel into action,

01:02:04.080 surrounding mothers with hope and love and providing free, life-saving ultrasounds.

01:02:08.300 Please join Preborn as we help rescue 50,000 more babies.

01:02:29.180 Let me give you one poll here and wrap this up.

01:02:33.900 Justin Haskins, a friend of the program, found in a poll,

01:02:37.900 60% of young voters would accept the dismantling of Israel in exchange for cheaper gas.

01:02:45.680 i want to ask you yeah the anti-semitism among the lower demographics is off the charts i want

01:02:56.580 to ask you with everything we talked about government corruption socialism islamism uh

01:03:04.380 ai anti-semitism there are so many reasons to be not real optimistic about the future

01:03:13.600 what brings you optimism what what helps you get up every day and go no we're going to make it

01:03:19.280 it's going to be good well the main thing is because this is america and i have lived elsewhere

01:03:26.720 in the world i travel all the time to these other places and they have fallen and you know i have

01:03:34.500 friends in australia that say oh how can you you know bear working in america because everyone's

01:03:40.000 at each other's throats and it's so polarizing and the debate is so rough. And I'm like, are you

01:03:45.020 joking? At least they're having a debate. At least they're fighting back. The left has been

01:03:51.180 ascendant all over the world, including in America during the Obama administration and then again

01:03:57.560 came back with a roar under Biden and desperately exposed themselves, which is convenient to all of

01:04:04.740 us um so i just see america has the capability of fighting back you just look at the person of

01:04:11.940 donald trump and what they threw at him and the american people saw through it and they

01:04:17.460 overwhelmingly voted for donald trump in 2020 despite all his flaws despite all his mistakes

01:04:23.540 they saw through it and to me you you can you can divide america you can make americans hate each

01:04:31.960 other. You can scare the pants off them. You can destroy the cities. You can create a homelessness

01:04:38.800 problem. You can open the borders and flood us with people that are not good for this country, 0.98

01:04:44.000 millions of them. But America stands, the American spirit stands, and it's the constitution. 0.74

01:04:50.800 It's the founding father's vision. It's whatever weird alchemy of people that came and built this

01:04:57.020 country, the generosity of spirit, the forever optimism. I see that these threats and opportunities

01:05:05.060 like AI, America is going to find a way to harness that to our great benefit and ensure that it

01:05:13.440 doesn't destroy us. You know, the Tower of Babel I would have started with that the Pope mentioned

01:05:21.640 when it came to AI, we are all intrinsically have in us the lack of humility and the tendency

01:05:29.780 sometimes to see ourselves as God. But I think that there is something about America and its

01:05:35.780 founding that prevents us from doing that. It's, you know, we are all created by God in his image

01:05:43.520 is embedded in our DNA. And I think that survives. It's stood the test of time for 250 years.

01:05:50.900 a lot of challenges, a lot of terrible things have happened. But America stands strong throughout it

01:05:59.280 all. And it's a beacon of light to the rest of the world. It's the only place where freedom

01:06:05.360 remains. And there's going to be a lot of challenges ahead with China and AI and whatever

01:06:13.400 else the world throws at us. But I think intrinsically, there's a new generation of

01:06:19.860 young people, young conservatives, particularly whose eyes are open, who are smarter than ever

01:06:25.560 before. They've seen their moral inheritance being squandered and destroyed by their forebears,

01:06:34.720 and they know it's time to rebuild. And they have it in them to do it. I see it. I'm sure you see it.

01:06:41.220 I think this is the place to be optimistic. The rest of the world, I hope, follows in America's

01:06:47.040 footsteps. And I don't think it's an accident that both J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio went to Europe

01:06:52.700 in two consecutive years and gave them a very tough warning about losing your inheritance.

01:07:00.340 You are giving it away. Yes, I agree. There are three journalists in the country,

01:07:08.020 in no particular order, that I trust. John Solomon, Cheryl Atkinson, and you. And it is a

01:07:16.900 It is a pleasure to have you on, and I appreciate all that you've gone through and the truth that you fight for every day.

01:07:23.400 Miranda, thank you.

01:07:24.180 The name of the book is Laptop from Hell.

01:07:26.800 Laptop from Hell.

01:07:28.440 Miranda, thanks.

01:07:29.100 We'll talk again.

01:07:30.400 Thanks, Glenn.

01:07:31.080 It's a great honor to be with you, and it's always enjoyable and challenging.

01:07:35.980 Thanks.
