Glenn Beck is back with a brand new episode of the Glenn Beck Show! This week, he's talking about how to get a good night's rest, Elon Musk, and why Tanya doesn't sleep well.
00:04:36.360And I think it comes from Rafe, because when Rafe was a baby, all the way until even now, he's up in the middle of the night, always up in the middle.
00:04:47.580He was three years old, and he was learning how to crawl out of his crib.
00:04:51.460And so Tanya is always on high alert, and she can't sleep.
00:04:55.280We were talking about it just the other day because I took some relief factor sleep because I really needed a good night's sleep.
00:04:59.780And she's like, I take this every night.
00:05:02.140I don't know why you don't take it every night.
00:05:04.240And I'm like, because I don't really need it every night.
00:13:25.140The airspace closed for, I don't know how many hours.
00:13:28.820And it went all the way to Washington to clear the plane.
00:13:32.160And so we landed and they were like, you got to get off the tarmac right now.
00:13:35.960You got to get on the other side of the gate because his plane is coming down.
00:13:39.460They had gigantic, I don't know what you would even call them, dumpster trucks, these giant construction that you would put loads of dirt in, gigantic trucks.
00:13:58.200And they had parked them all the way around where his plane was going.
00:14:03.820And for, I think it's 10 miles from the airport.
00:14:08.020It took us about 15 minutes to get there.
00:14:10.180So from the airport to the venue, every single street had at least one cop car.
00:14:17.880So you're not going on, you had to go on the highway and then one street to the venue.
00:14:26.360Every single street, every block had at least two cop cars at the block and police outside.
00:44:03.980And over 2 million people still without power as of this last weekend.
00:44:08.380As you might imagine, critical times and critical items like medicine and food are coming in fast, but it's never as fast as it needs to be.
00:44:17.620It's exactly for cases like this where you need to be prepared.
00:44:22.260There is something you can do to make sure that you and your loved ones have the medications on hand when needed.
00:44:27.960It's a solution thousands of people have already discovered.
00:46:03.640Yesterday, I was in my office and I had called the president to President Trump to do some final details on a podcast that I'm going to do with him in either Arizona or Nevada next week.
00:46:17.960And he is always, always on and so busy.
00:46:23.840And he said, listen, I have about an hour now.
00:47:25.280There's no better time than right now to put you and your family in a better financial position.
00:47:31.340If you're a homeowner, you should know that American financing is helping thousands of families just like yours.
00:47:37.080Families who have been putting everyday expenses on credit cards and now need a helping hand to get out from underneath that debt that is piling up every single month with 25% interest.
00:47:49.120For over two decades now, American financing has been shining a light in the darkness for those who want to shore up their financial house.
00:47:55.400If that's you, tapping into your home's equity to pay down high interest debt could be the answer.
00:49:31.800So I think the biggest thing, you know, you see the polls and the polls have the economy, number one, and inflation.
00:49:38.480I view them as the same thing in a sense.
00:49:40.620I think the inflation and economy, you can wrap them up into one.
00:49:43.860I actually think, and I may be wrong, but, you know, not wrong by much.
00:49:48.140I think the biggest thing that people are going to be looking at and voting on is what's happening at our border where murderers are allowed to come in and where drug dealers are allowed to come in.
00:49:58.640You know, just destroy a country, literally destroy it.
00:50:01.060And inflation is a destroyer of a country, too, but it's a different kind of a, it's a different kind of a destroyer.
00:50:06.700It's not as mean, not as mean as having guys coming in with machine guns.
01:02:12.900And they said that you asked the president for rocket launchers or something to protect your plane in case somebody shoots a rocket at the plane.
01:02:34.540And they really, I mean, they have to.
01:02:37.920The one thing that we don't have is we haven't had a president saying if some country in Iran where there is actually a threat, that if they do anything to, it's not me.
01:02:48.260It's a president, a former president, and now in leading in both parties to be president, if they do anything, we're going to obliterate the country.
01:02:57.080Because when you say that, that's the end of that.
01:05:46.600That's why it's imperative to get those undecided voters the facts.
01:05:51.560No bias, just straight hard facts, figures, data illustrating the two choices that they have before them.
01:05:58.020Over the next two weeks leading up to the election, I'm going to be releasing a four-part digital short series, which will do just that.
01:06:05.900I'm going to take you through it next hour.
01:06:07.960Hopefully, once the undecided voters see and hear the truth, the choice will become clear.
01:06:12.980These things will cover immigration, the economy, First Amendment, free speech issues, the claims that each candidate makes against one another.
01:06:22.360Part one is out today, and you can find it at Glenn Beck dot com.
01:06:25.900This is for you to share with friends who maybe don't know all of the facts and are undecided.
01:06:53.020Let me tell you about my Patriot supply.
01:06:55.360So exactly how far into emergency situation you have to get before you think, wow, I should have prepared for this, because if the answer is right about the time you found yourself stuck in a mile long line stretching around the corner from the grocery store just to get some food, you waited too long.
01:07:14.040Get yourself and your family emergency food from my Patriot supply.
01:07:18.260It's going to make the world of difference in your world and in your family's life.
01:07:23.520If something, God forbid, happens and there is a breakdown of the food chain or whatever, you don't you don't want to rely on other people.
01:07:32.940My grandparents, my grandmother and my mom, they they used to can every summer.
01:07:37.980And so we had a year's worth of food just on what they would can storing emergency food in your home.
01:09:23.280But but, you know, it's when you have that kind of weapons in the car, it's a little it's not your the these were not your standard weapons.
01:24:33.500Yeah, pretty much hit on all the big topics.
01:24:35.740I think this is a really smart approach by the Trump campaign to have him in that type of environment where he can kind of just go and bounce around to different topics.
01:26:17.440It's not part of the Apple or Google mobile ecosystems.
01:26:21.840It comes with its own operating system, its own app store, its own messenger, which you can make end-to-end encrypted calls and video calls on.
01:26:30.400You can send files and photos, even create secure group chats.
01:26:34.600Plus, it has a VPN and antivirus, and it's really simple to use.
01:26:39.600I mean, it has all of the features that you would have on an iPhone.
01:26:43.920The great thing is, this one's not tracked.
01:28:00.460We want to start with a challenge that I gave you yesterday.
01:28:06.620You've got to find one person, not somebody who's a diehard, somebody who's maybe kind of like knows that Trump is, his policies were better, but they don't want to vote for Trump or they just don't think their vote matters or whatever.
01:28:18.680You need to get one person to go out and vote.
01:28:22.540If everybody in this audience got an additional one person that wasn't going to vote to go out and vote, it's a landslide.
01:28:29.400Just this audience would make that happen.
01:28:31.340So I'm going to equip you with some facts next and a tool that you can use to help bring those people along.
01:28:50.940And if you don't believe me, I guess you've never tried to buy or sell a house or both.
01:28:55.240You don't want to do it unless you absolutely have to, because it's not only hard, it's really complicated and it just sucks in every possible way.
01:29:03.420If you want a really great real estate agent that can help you through this, so at least that part of it, looking for a house is good, selling your house and getting top dollar for it is good.
01:29:16.080If you're looking for a great real estate agent, we have some real estate agents that we vet six ways to Sunday.
01:29:26.380There's only, I think, a couple of thousand of these real estate agents.
01:29:30.220They're all fans of the show, and they all have the best practices to sell your house on time and for the most amount of money and get you into the home that you want.
01:29:39.920Whether it's across the street or across the country, we have real estate agents that would love to talk to you.
01:29:46.420All you have to do is go to realestateagentsitrust.com, tell us where you're buying and selling, and we'll recommend a couple of names to you for the best people we think in your area.
01:30:36.200But he said right at the end, he said, if we can just get religious people, just religious people, if we can just get a couple of percentage points from religious people, people who go to church, people who believe in the things that we believe in.
01:30:53.200If we can get one or two points from them, we win.
01:30:57.220He told me a couple of weeks ago, and he said it again on the air.
01:31:01.020He said, Glenn, the people of your faith, what do we do?
01:31:05.540And I said, are they not supporting you?
01:31:32.060In my faith, you know, we have this old prophecy that, you know, the Constitution will hang by a thread, and it'll be, you know, the good people who are paying attention that know what to look for that rise up at the last minute and save it.
01:31:50.880And he said to me several times, okay, the Constitution is hanging by a thread, now would be the time, and I happen to agree with him.
01:32:00.280But getting people who are on the other side is not going to probably be possible.
01:32:07.800But there's 13% undecided, and they make all the difference in the world if they vote.
01:32:17.580We have to convince them, and the only way to do that is to have actual facts.
01:32:22.960So we've put something together here that is fact-driven.
01:34:42.480Trende Aragua, a Venezuelan gang that began in prisons there, has spread into the United States at a terrifying rate, spreading so far as Wisconsin.
01:34:51.080Police tell us all 10 here are members of Trende Aragua.
01:34:54.800Trende Aragua gang members right here in San Antonio.
01:35:05.200They've attacked NYPD officers and have been given the green light from their leaders to shoot at American police officers.
01:35:11.080U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens issued a warning in early April, watch out for this gang known for murder, drug trafficking, sex crimes, extortion, and other violent acts.
01:35:23.060The second reason why you should care about illegal immigration, the economic cost.
01:35:28.480With immigration being the second highest issue plaguing the minds of U.S. voters, the economy is by far the first one.
01:35:35.540But the two issues actually are linked.
01:35:38.840A quick Google search and you'll find left of center media outlets telling you the influx of millions is a good thing for our economy.
01:35:46.380Well, in September, Jerome Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, said that the massive influx of migrants has contributed to today's rising unemployment rate.
01:35:55.680There's been quite an influx across the borders, and that has actually been one of the things that's allowed unemployment rate to rise.
01:36:04.500But even if you have a steady job and you're not worried about unemployment, the taxes you will pay to support our new neighbors may shock you.
01:36:11.300According to testimony given to the House of Representatives Budget Committee, 60% of illegal migrants use one or more U.S. welfare program and received $42 billion of welfare assistance in 2021, which was before the largest influx of migrants arrived.
01:36:29.300Illegal migrants cost public schools $68 billion per year.
01:36:33.660Again, that was before the current surge.
01:36:35.600And they're costing the nation's public health system over $7 billion per year.
01:36:40.340Migrants do pay some taxes, about $26 billion in 2019, but that number leaves most of the responsibility up to you, the taxpayer.
01:36:51.380Finally, reason number three, national security.
01:36:55.100A huge number of migrants crossing illegally are coming from countries that are hostile to the United States, like China, Russia, and Venezuela.
01:37:03.640New internal CBP data would show something remarkable.
01:37:08.020More Chinese nationals have been crossing here into San Diego sector in recent months than Mexican nationals.
01:37:14.240In 2021, Border Patrol says it encountered 144,000 migrants from hostile nations.
01:37:21.420So far this year, that number has quadrupled to 643,000.
01:37:26.520250 migrants who were on the terror watch list were encountered by agents, with 99 of them being released onto our streets.
01:37:34.400The Iranian government has set up a beachhead off the coast of Venezuela, where they're recruiting and training Venezuelan gangs.
01:37:41.420These gangs, like the one I told you about earlier, are smuggling weapons across the border.
01:37:47.220And a leaked U.S. Army report details how Trende Aragua members have been caught taking photos, videos, and even trying to enter U.S. military bases.
01:37:58.080So, if you've been convinced that illegal immigration is not just an issue for border states, which candidate can you rely on to squash the problem?
01:38:07.180Just a few weeks ago, during her second trip to the border since 2021, Kamala said that she's all about tougher border security.
01:38:14.920The United States is a sovereign nation.
01:38:18.060And I believe we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them.
01:38:23.960And I take that responsibility very seriously.
01:38:26.620But she and Biden repealed several Trump-era policies that allowed for tough border security on the first day they took office.
01:38:34.960In 2021, Kamala was named the border czar when the situation began to get out of hand.
01:38:40.420And the Biden administration did task a vice president, Kamala Harris, with the issue of migrant crossings, naming her the so-called border czar.
01:38:48.100It's a title her and her supporters deny today.
01:38:50.460But the facts show, no matter what title you want to use, that Biden did assign her to oversee the border crisis and stem the migrant flow.
01:38:58.340She's the most qualified person to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle, stemming the movement of so many folks stemming the migration to our southern border.
01:39:12.240Back then, because of the responsibility Biden gave her, Kamala received a lot of pushback for visiting Central America to investigate the root causes of the problem, but not visiting the actual border where it was taking place.
01:39:25.580This whole thing about the border, we've been to the border, we've been to the border.
01:39:34.000After the pushback, Kamala did visit the border in 2021.
01:39:37.840But after her visit, numbers across the border continued to grow.
01:39:41.620With those coming into America even thanking her and Biden's administration for making it all so easy.
01:39:47.140And when Texas politicians tried to take matters into their own hands by using the state's National Guard to install wire fencing along the border to slow down the massive influx, the Biden-Harris administration ordered federal border patrol agents to cut that wire so that the migrants could enter.
01:40:06.900Now, let's take a look at the other side.
01:40:09.500President Trump devoted most of his four years in office to border security.
01:40:13.600And the wall is being built. It's going up rapidly. And we think by the end of next year, which will be sometime right after the election, actually, but we think we're going to have close to 500 miles of wall, which will be complete.
01:40:27.200And he has based the vast majority of his campaign around it as well.
01:40:31.300On day one, I will seal the border, stop the migrant invasion, and we will begin the largest deportation operation in the history of our country. We have no choice.
01:40:40.460His opponents say he's the one responsible for killing a border bill earlier this year, urging Republicans not to pass it, all in an effort to keep the border situation dire and his campaign relevant.
01:40:52.580But several Republicans, from Utah's conservative Mike Lee to the more moderate Marco Rubio, also blasted it for not going far enough to protect America.
01:41:01.520While the bill did provide $20 billion for government resources to address illegal immigration, 87% of the funds were earmarked for other non-related purposes, like supporting Ukraine.
01:41:14.060The bill would have required the administration to close the border if there were more than 8,500 encounters on one single day, a number many Republicans felt was way too high.
01:41:25.280Now you know the facts. It's time for you to decide.
01:41:28.200Those are election facts for the undecided voter.
01:41:34.180You can get that now at glennbeck.com.
01:42:13.740It all started 13 years ago with the best hoodie you'll ever own.
01:42:17.320Do you remember the old, old, old champion?
01:42:22.140Maybe you're not as old as me, so you don't remember.
01:42:25.480But champion used to make the best sweatshirt.
01:42:31.400I didn't realize what had happened to them.
01:42:33.880I just knew, you know, I don't know, 15, 20 years ago I went to go buy a champion shirt.
01:42:38.600And it just wasn't the same because it's not.
01:42:42.420We made it a different way than everywhere else in the world.
01:42:45.480And we had special machines that we sold.
01:42:48.420They were making high-end sweatshirts and hoodies over in Japan.
01:42:54.680Well, American Giant went over, bought those machines, brought them back, trained this whole factory, all the factory workers on it, so they could make that quality again.
01:43:05.940It's the best hoodie and the best sweats you've ever, ever worn.
01:43:09.460It's American quality today at American-Giant.com slash Glenn.
01:46:41.180I think there's a few different ways of looking at it.
01:46:43.200The data itself still really points to a very close election.
01:46:47.200The momentum seems to be going in the way of Donald Trump.
01:46:51.180But, like, it's not like, oh, now Donald Trump is up by 10 points, right?
01:46:54.700Like, it's still super close and could go either way.
01:46:57.920The biggest indicator to me that Kamala Harris is behind is this change in strategy.
01:47:04.400This change, this dramatic, you're driving 65 on the highway and you throw the car in reverse strategy of her not doing any interviews at all for months at a time.
01:47:40.820Bill Cosby had said when he built the Cosby show that he was going to build it his way, the way he wanted, because he couldn't live with himself if he did it somebody else's way.
01:49:47.460You can get that video for the undecided at youtube.com slash glenbeck.
01:49:52.500So, Scientific American has just endorsed a candidate.
01:50:10.960I want you to listen just to the opening two paragraphs.
01:50:15.100In the November election, the U.S. faces two futures.
01:50:18.720In one, the new president offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence, and willingness to learn from experience.
01:50:28.540She pushes policies that boost good jobs nationwide by embracing technology and clean energy.
01:50:34.740She supports education, public health, and reproductive rights.
01:50:39.220She treats the climate crisis as the emergency it is and seeks to mitigate its catastrophic storms, fires, and droughts.
01:50:46.360In the other future, the new president endangers public health and safety and rejects evidence, preferring instead to nonsensical conspiracy fantasies.
01:50:58.080He ignores the climate crisis in favor of more pollution.
01:51:02.320He requires that federal officials show him personal loyalty rather than upholding U.S. laws.
01:51:10.180He fills positions in federal science and other agencies with unqualified ideologues.
01:51:17.220He goads people into hate and division, and he inspires extremists at state and local levels to pass laws that disrupt education and make it hard to earn a living.
01:51:56.740And I want to guarantee you at the outset that unlike Kamala Harris, I actually did not copy-paste any passages and drop them into this book.
01:52:18.680And if I'm not mistaken, you know, I heard something from somebody the other day, and I did not know this, that the Big Bang Theory was actually rejected by scientists at the beginning because it proved a first cause.
01:52:34.440It proved there was something before the Big Bang, and science didn't like it because of a God thing.
01:52:52.940Einstein was very worried about this when George Lemaitre, the sort of father of what's now known as Big Bang Theory, came to him with this idea of, he called it a day with no yesterday.
01:53:04.360It was extremely unsettling because many scientists had kind of bought into this narrative that in order to do science, in order to know the truth about reality and accept truth without superstition, they had to be materialists.
01:53:22.480They had to get rid of any notion of the divine or the transcendent.
01:53:28.340And I think if you follow that logic down to its conclusion, you actually end up with a purely materialist view of science that does fall prey to things like endorsing Kamala Harris for president or all the things you saw during.
01:53:45.040And doesn't it also lead us to just nihilism?
01:53:51.620We're just nothing but atoms bouncing around.
01:53:55.520Yeah, no, there's no question that it does.
01:53:58.040In this book, In Light of the Minds, Light of the World, I trace the history of how this idea emerged and became so powerful.
01:54:08.640It was not the idea of the original architects of the scientific revolution.
01:54:13.940Some of us in school were taught this story about a battle between the repressive church and the brave seekers of truth like Galileo, who had to fight against religion in order to do science.
01:54:29.000The story I tell here is a story about faithful men seeking God's truth.
01:54:36.020If Galileo wasn't an atheist, neither was Isaac Newton, neither was Ioannis Kepler, basically all of the major figures who inaugurated the great age of science and modernity believed that they could know the universe because they believed that mankind was made in the image of God.
01:54:53.340And for that reason, his mind was not just a random product of atoms bouncing around together.
01:55:00.160It was not just an accident that happened to emerge in one little tiny corner of a dark universe.
01:55:06.620And we're not, as Stephen Hawking once claimed we were, we're not chemical scum on a tiny planet in the middle of nowhere.
01:55:13.420We're actually imprinted with the key to understanding creation.
01:55:18.400And that was the roadmap that the architects of science plotted out.
01:55:22.780Now, gradually, because the methods that they devised were so powerful, there were some people in the wake of the scientific revolution who wanted to claim that knowing the physical world was knowing everything.
01:55:36.620And that by understanding the mechanics of how material works, you could actually get rid of any need for God or a prime mover or a first cause.
01:55:46.660And I'm happy to report that in this case, we can actually blame the French, which is one of my favorite things to do, just generally.
01:55:54.320It was, yeah, it was the, it was Pierre-Simon Laplace, the great French astrophysicist who lived through the French Revolution that was supposed to have said to Napoleon, I have no need of God as an hypothesis.
01:56:07.980And we shortly, in short order, not only in France, but also in Russia, we saw where that conviction leads.
01:56:15.840We saw, as you say, the nihilism of believing in only material, which the scientific revolutionaries would never have endorsed.
01:56:23.300That nihilism leads to the raw imposition of power, because if it's all just atoms bouncing around and there's no meaning or purpose, no higher morality, then you're just going to try to conform time and space itself to your political program, which is what they did in the French Revolution.
01:56:40.340It's what they did under the Soviet Union.
01:56:43.460And that's part of the story that I tell in this book, too.
01:56:45.520But the really important thing that we haven't yet fully grappled with or understood is that even if it once looked plausible to, say, the thinkers of the Enlightenment, that you might be able to get rid of God.
01:56:59.600And even though we've been stuck with that narrative for so long, we grew up with it in school, science itself no longer supports that idea.
01:57:09.180So if you really want to follow the science, you actually need to do a hard reset on this presupposition we have that science and faith are inherently against one another.
01:57:19.600The discoveries of cosmology, as you indicated, Glenn, also the quantum revolution at the turn of the 20th century has totally upended our mechanistic idea of the universe and taught us some things that look a lot like the book of Genesis.
01:57:36.260They've suggested, for instance, that human consciousness has a unique or at least a highly important role to play in constituting reality.
01:57:45.860And perhaps even that there's no such thing as a meaningful concept of matter without mind, without some kind of observing principle or, dare I say, some sort of mind to speak the universe into existence, to see it and call it good.
01:58:00.880So all of this is waiting there for us to take stock of.
01:58:05.680And if we don't, of course, you know, we'll end up in service to Craven political project.
01:58:13.980I have to tell you, you know, the Nobel Prize in physics just went to two AI scientists.
01:58:19.420And AI, if we don't decide that life, human life is different and that there is mind with a capital N, M, we're going to be very, very lost because there are going to come a time quickly where people are like, well, no, that's life.
01:58:42.280I mean, it's got to be life because it talks to me, it relates to me, it answers my questions, it asks me philosophical questions, my best friend.
01:58:50.760And people will start to defend AI as life.
01:58:55.380And then we're going down a hole that you just do not want to travel in.
01:59:01.760Oh, I mean, I don't know if you saw that movie Her with, I think it was Scarlett Johansson, but that wasn't supposed to be a prescription.
01:59:12.200And, you know, Alan Turing, the one of the sort of real forefathers of modern computing, if not the originator of the computer, he wrote a famous paper in 1950 that's now become known as the Turing test.
01:59:26.800And, of course, this is a brilliant mathematician, so it's not that he was a dumb guy, but he was in hock to this very idea that if a computer can fake being human, then it is human.
01:59:44.880Well, he believed that human beings are nothing more than machines for turning inputs into outputs.
01:59:52.100We are effectively calculating machines ourselves.
01:59:55.600And the only thing that we can know about ourselves is that we take in stimulus from the outside world and we churn out things that look like thoughts and emotions.
02:00:04.800So if a computer can do that, well, it's doing what we do.
02:00:47.400We live knowing that the human experience of things is itself irreducibly important and that if you take that away, who cares what a machine can do?
02:00:57.200So these are all things that we are being forced now to grapple with.
02:01:02.260And you can hear it in the way that these guys talk about their technology.
02:01:05.600Eliezer Yudkowsky, one of the major thinkers in the AI sphere, published an essay where he said, you know, the AI doesn't love you, it doesn't hate you, you're just made of atoms that it can use for something else.
02:01:20.300And if that's what we think of ourselves, then, of course, that's what we're going to submit to.
02:01:24.840That's how we're going to treat our machines.
02:01:26.520Spencer Clavin, all of his books are just tremendous, deep, deep thinker.
02:01:32.080And this one's really important, Light of the Mind, Light of the World by Spencer Clavin.
02:01:37.820You can get it wherever you get your books, and I highly, highly recommend it.
02:01:45.120You can follow Spencer on Twitter, at Spencer Clavin, or you can see his website, rejoiceevermore.substack.com.
02:02:22.520Relief Factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of our disease.
02:03:46.380You know, I mean, they really, I think he's engaging and funny and, you know, on top of everything and able to move around on various topics.
02:06:19.880And that's not enough to get you this far.
02:06:22.620And one of the most, I think, optimistic indicators for Trump over the past, over this entire cycle, even going back to the Biden time, is all these underlying things that normally decide elections are in Trump's favor.
02:06:36.580Economic sentiment being probably the biggest, but also the border and crime and Ukraine and especially Afghanistan, even more directly.
02:06:45.780These big time topics are in Trump's favor.
