Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly discuss CNN reporter Jim Acosta being exposed on the border, deep fake news, and more. Glenn Beck is a conservative commentator and host of the Glenn Beck Program on Fox News Radio.
00:04:54.580He was out yesterday in the blazing sun.
00:04:58.660He was down at the border where there is a border fence, a border wall, one of those big iron slatted iron walls where, you know, the ones where they're like, look, you could just cut right through this.
00:05:16.640Well, there hasn't been anybody who's cut through one of them, you know, unless you were there with a blowtorch and you were doing an example on TV.
00:05:24.720But Jim Acosta was there, and it was about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and he's walking around in his sunglasses by this wall and says, look, I see the vets here, and there isn't any humanitarian crisis.
00:06:23.020In McAllen, Texas, when I was in McAllen, Texas.
00:06:27.480You know, because there was a humanitarian crisis.
00:06:29.540In fact, could we play the audio, please, the montage between President Obama and President Trump on the humanitarian crisis at the border?
00:06:41.740We now have an actual humanitarian crisis on the border that only underscores the need to drop the politics and fix our immigration system once and for all.
00:06:50.420This is a humanitarian crisis, a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul.
00:06:58.020In recent weeks, we've seen a surge of unaccompanied children arrive at the border, brought here and to other countries by smugglers and traffickers.
00:07:05.600The journey is unbelievably dangerous for these kids.
00:07:11.480Child smugglers exploit the loopholes and they gain illegal entry into the United States, putting countless children in danger on the perilous trek to the United States.
00:07:45.480Thank you, Mike Broomhead, who happens to live in a border state, Arizona, and our affiliate in Phoenix for putting those that montage together.
00:07:53.980It wasn't real difficult because both of them have been talking about humanitarian crisis and everybody in America knows it, except for the, quote, journalists like Jim Acosta, who was, again, down at the border.
00:08:11.380You know, and if you if you look at when border crosses happen, they usually happen around lunchtime right there by the Burger King and the giant wall.
00:08:22.240Either that or they happen in the middle of the night under the cover of darkness.
00:08:26.780Now, Jim Acosta is going to Jim Acosta is going to be on a couple of other assignments this week.
00:08:31.680So, you know, because there's some other real tragedies that are going on, some other things that he has uncovered.
00:08:39.060For instance, people say, you know, Broadway is doing well.
00:08:42.900You know, hey, theater, this is a great time for the theater in New York.
00:08:46.600Well, Jim Acosta will be down on Broadway on Monday night to show you not a single theater is open.
00:08:54.180Not a play is happening on Broadway on Monday night.
00:08:59.140Then on Tuesday, he's going to be around 11 o'clock going around the country at some of our biggest churches.
00:09:05.620And he will 11 o'clock Tuesday morning.
00:09:08.540Don't miss the Jim Acosta expose on how most of American churches are empty.
00:09:15.120The fact that Americans attend weekly service is a lie.
00:09:33.620But that is secondary to his love for himself.
00:09:36.380And that is what is so disturbing about Jim Acosta.
00:09:38.840I mean, again, you're making the point, right?
00:09:41.200If there's a wall there, if there were people rushing to the border in the middle of the day, which that's not when they do it typically.
00:09:46.820But if that's when they were doing it, they would pick a different spot to do it.
00:09:49.980They wouldn't do it right there because of the wall you're standing next to.
00:09:53.060Well, look, I think, Jim, your station may have had some footage at some point or you may have seen it on another network where they were charging the border in the middle of the day at a fence.
00:10:57.700The best thing is, though, the best thing is they're just so discrediting themselves.
00:11:03.820Even liberals had to watch that and went, oh, dear God, Jim, what are you doing?
00:11:10.420Well, it's amazing he didn't realize that he was making the opposite point.
00:11:14.480And that's why people jumped on it and are making fun of the report.
00:11:17.920But it separates it from every other report Jim Acosta does.
00:11:21.580And I think we missed the larger issue here is that his point there, let's just say he made it in front of a small wall or a place where there was no wall.
00:12:14.460But my favorite part about it is you're so in the world of Broadway that it was completely obvious to you that plays don't happen on Monday nights.
00:12:21.840Like, to me, I was like, why Monday night?
00:14:11.680Anyway, if you hate salads as much as I do, you can get all of your servings of your fruits and vegetables that you need in just a little teaspoon.
00:14:19.960You just put it in water or whatever it is you're drinking.
00:14:22.720And it's good and gives you everything that you need.
00:15:48.360And they ran through it, looked at it, said, yeah, this looks really doctored.
00:15:51.380So we broke the story, contacted Q13 and their news director, Erica Hill, and said, look, we're going to be fair here and say this appears to be a doctored footage.
00:16:03.340In all of one day, they did an investigation and came back and said, yeah, apparently this didn't say it was doctored, but they let the editor go.
00:19:59.780It's amazing because you're kind of in the middle of what I think is a real milestone.
00:20:02.660I mean, this technology is going to come and it's not going to come from some editor at Q13.
00:20:07.160It's going to come from the Chinese government, right?
00:20:09.840Manipulating footage and really changing people's opinions.
00:20:13.100You're kind of like in the middle of the first time this has ever, as far as I know, ever happened on a news station like this.
00:20:18.280Yeah, I think this is I've been talking about deep fakes for how many years now, three years and talking about how 2020 is going to be a really bad year for deep fakes.
00:20:32.580And you're going to start to not believe your eyes.
00:20:34.700And when I saw this story, I thought this is this is history.
00:20:38.680This one, Todd, you're going to go in history books.
00:20:41.460I really believe in the end, this story will end up in any important history about deep fakes, because this is the first time that I've seen a news station try to manipulate something and use deep fake technology to to skew an opinion or or an election.
00:21:03.840Well, and I hope, Glenn, that I truly hope the editor takes this as a sign that maybe you've gone too far.
00:21:10.840But on the other side of me, the cynical side of me thinks how many media companies are sending him now or him or her invitations to go to work there?
00:21:19.200I'll tell you another local flavor to this, if I'm interested in both, is that the Seattle Times, who accidentally for a little while pretended they broke this story and then they were kind enough to point out that we actually did.
00:21:29.920They went to great pains after they ran this to show a whole bunch of circumstances where conservatives have doctored pictures, et cetera.
00:21:38.400And they kept adding to it. And I was screaming at them. Well, wait, this is very, very different.
00:21:43.100This is a news station, not just manipulating this, but they could easily have put words in the president's mouth.
00:21:48.960And I think that's what you guys are pointing to. Yes.
00:21:50.980Technology that you could have the president say something he's not saying at all.
00:21:55.600It's bad enough that, you know, the way the media twists things now.
00:21:59.380But I absolutely agree that this this had better be a wake up call.
00:22:03.080And I'm really pleased you guys point that out.
00:22:05.080Todd, thank you so much and appreciate your good work.
00:22:09.000Todd Herman from KTTH in Seattle, who broke the story of the deep fake from Q13, a news promo for a news station that made the president look like a monkey and using deep fake technology.
00:22:27.180Horrible, horrible, horrible first step.
00:36:04.340But it's really bizarre when you actually think about it.
00:36:07.980So they're looking now at AI that can predict where you're going to be and if that's you spending, et cetera, et cetera.
00:36:16.780With all of that deep learning that is happening right now, you still have thieves out there who are inventing new ways to steal your identity.
00:37:32.580You know, one of the things that happened this week that I thoroughly enjoyed was Elizabeth Warren coming out and announcing that she's probably going to be running for president.
00:37:51.180She just wanted to have a little chat in her kitchen there.
00:37:53.920I want to play just a little bit of this.
01:16:05.940We have to watch what happens tomorrow.
01:16:08.940In France, the yellow vests are actually saying that they want to cause a run on the banks.
01:16:15.120They've put, I think, another, what is it, 60,000 police on the streets for this weekend?
01:16:19.400They say it's going to be very violent.
01:16:20.540But they're saying that they want the French people to go into the banks and take 20% of their money out, take it out of the euro, and put it into Bitcoin.
01:16:31.340This is not something to prop up Bitcoin as much as it is something to collapse the euro.
01:16:37.500That's what they're trying to do is create a run on the banks.
01:16:39.940I don't think, is it possible this is going to happen and be something that is really important on Monday?
01:16:48.320I don't think so, but we'll have to see and we'll know by tomorrow.
01:16:53.000Bitcoin is going to play a role because the economies, whether it's started by some group or it's just started by bad banking practices and bad spending practices, there are going to be runs on the bank in the future.
01:17:09.880And Bitcoin is going to play a large role in that of a flight to safety, I believe.
01:17:28.760It was designed for this audience so it can take you along and teach you everything that you need to know about why this technology is important in the role that it will play.
01:17:37.540Then you decide if you want to invest in it or not.
01:17:40.120I think everybody should have $100 in some sort of cryptocurrency, but don't go crazy with it because it's very volatile.
01:17:47.000Call smartcryptocourse.com, smartcryptocourse.com or call 877-PBL-BACK, 877-PBL-BACK, smartcryptocourse.com.
01:17:58.400Welcome to the program, the Glenn Beck program.
01:18:00.380So glad that you are so glad that you are here.
01:18:02.900I wanted to play something that has been taken off of Twitter that I think is really important.
01:18:12.720It's audio and video from a rally in Sweden.
01:18:17.860But I just I just want to show you how dangerous it is to have an algorithm or people who judge what's hate speech, what's not hate speech, and to have a platform, not a media source, but a platform decide what's arable and what's not.
01:18:38.520Can we please play the Muslim crowd threatens Jews?
01:19:50.220Anyway, this is happening in Sweden, in a town square with a bunch of people holding a Palestinian flag.
01:19:59.280This has been removed from social media.
01:20:03.640I played this, and I have reposted it on social media, and I will continue to repost it on social media, so people can see what is happening over in Europe.
01:20:16.380And you can proudly see the Palestinian flag and how the Palestinian movement is not about peace.
01:20:25.420Now, it's really important for me to clarify.
01:20:28.740I have met Palestinians over in the Middle East.
01:20:32.520I have met Muslims over in the Middle East.
01:20:35.080And when they are alone and feel safe, they do not say a lot of these things, but they keep their mouth shut because the people who are saying these things will kill them.
01:20:48.520There's also another story from the Palestinian areas around Jerusalem where a Palestinian guy who didn't have a problem with Jews sold his house to somebody from Jerusalem.
01:21:05.260He was taken and tortured, and I don't hear anybody talking about that.
01:21:33.780Now, Jim Acosta did some unbelievable reporting.
01:21:38.200He was out on the border yesterday wearing sunglasses in the middle of the day, trying to prove that there is no problem on the border in Texas.
01:21:48.700Did he go to San Diego where it's happening?
01:21:51.440No, he went to McAllen, Texas, where it was happening a few years back, and he wasn't there.
01:21:57.820He's standing in front of a giant border wall.
01:24:22.560Our commercial sponsor this half hour is Simply Safe.
01:24:27.440Simply Safe is the company that you should go to if you want to make sure that you have the best security system for your house that money can buy and is really, really affordable.
01:24:38.420You know, all of these, all of these other services.
01:30:23.9803.2% doesn't sound like that much of an increase, but it is the biggest increase in hourly wages since 2014 and one percentage point higher than the inflation rate.
01:30:38.060So on the whole, Americans got an actual real inflation adjusted pay raise last year.
01:30:46.900We haven't had that in I don't know how long.
01:32:52.800Oh, man, I think that, I think that disease from CNN is starting to spread.
01:32:59.520Let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com, then back to the programming and why the president needs to pay attention to the economy and what it means for 2020 in just literally one minute.
01:33:10.800First, let me tell you, if you're trying to sell your home, please, please, please, please go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:33:18.280We get letters in all the time, and I want to read one from Scott from Tennessee.
01:33:23.300He said, I can't speak highly enough about the service that I received from the very first email with realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:33:31.700I was contacted by a realtor named Jim from your network, guys.
01:33:36.940He said, I had a pretty big mess on my hands and received what amounted to free budgeting and investment advice during our meetings.
01:33:46.120He then proceeded to take a house that I had been stuck with and owed way too much money on, and he sold it in less than a week for more money than I thought he could ever get.
01:33:57.520He did such a fantastic job that I referred him to everybody I know, including my mom.
01:34:02.680Her house had been listed by multiple agents over several years.
01:34:21.160We've been in that situation where you're like, oh, geez, these people that we have found all over the country that are real estate agents, they don't work for me.
01:34:30.500I'm a network that has assembled some of the best people around that listen to the show, have the same values that you have, and will sell your home.
01:35:46.160But since the lows of that were short-lived because, well, Calvin Coolidge helped them recover by cutting spending and cutting taxes, factories were booming.
01:35:59.300The stock market had increased over 400%.
01:36:05.580Now, leading up to the 28th presidential election, Calvin Coolidge had been a very popular president, but he could have easily won re-election.
01:36:21.480And Coolidge handed the reins of the Republican Party over to a young and very popular member of his cabinet, Herbert Hoover.
01:36:30.920Now, Hoover at the time in the 20s was known because he spearheaded the effort to save New Orleans and any other cities along the Mississippi Delta.
01:36:39.380And he won the 1928 election in a landslide, 60% of the popular vote, 80% of the Electoral College.
01:36:48.760He was the first Republican ever to win Texas.
01:36:52.580He entered in 1929 with a 78% approval rating.

01:44:10.840Use the promo code back and get 10 bucks off right now.
01:44:13.240So, Stu, I'm I'm reading a I'm reading a book, The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence, because artificial intelligence is going to change everything.
01:44:29.980And it is hidden to something that is so basic.
01:44:34.560And I feel so stupid for not realizing this.
01:44:49.020I mean, it's the process of computers, machines learning instead of just giving it being given a task and executing it over and over again like computers do.
01:45:00.740It is instead learning new ways to do it, the best ways to solve the problems.
01:45:05.860It's essentially the idea of a machine learning.
01:46:11.220I can monitor what you've purchased, who your friends are, has their hot water heater added more water, use more water than they usually use.
01:46:22.480Like there's a guest staying at the house.
01:46:24.200Now, with all that, I can say, you know what?
01:46:26.660He's been talking to this person an awful lot lately.
01:46:29.260He just bought a ticket to this part of town and this friend who lives in that part of town, their water usage and electricity usage went up this morning and their electricity was on.
01:46:43.100Their lights were on late, late, late last night after he disappeared.
01:46:57.660Like you'd say the same thing with like a purchase on Amazon, right?
01:47:00.400Like this person has purchased these 10 things that would lead me to believe I'm going to suggest this 11th thing because it seems like the pattern they would be.
01:47:08.680It's going to predict what I want to purchase.
01:47:10.700So they are getting now speaking specifically of Amazon.
01:47:13.680The predictions are getting so good that with just a little more information, because it needs two pieces of information it needs on general.
01:47:23.600When people buy this product, what else do they buy?
01:47:41.340They now believe that they can get the prediction of the things that you also want.
01:47:47.300So when you go, if you let's say you start to do Amazon grocery service, OK, and you go in and you start using Amazon grocery service and you still have to order.
01:47:58.960What will happen is you will go on and you say, I need bread.
01:48:03.260Then it'll say people who bought this also bought and you'll be like, yes, I need milk, too.
01:52:01.820The very next day after putting in machine learning, translating it into Japanese, it went from that to Kilimanjaro is a mountain of 19,710 feet covered with snow.
01:52:16.080And said to be the highest mountain in Africa.
01:52:24.420And it's only because it's it added so much information about the words and predictive words in Japanese that Google didn't have access to.
01:53:10.820If you're eating and you're eating the same thing day after day, after day, you have a harder time losing weight because you have to confuse your body.
01:53:33.100We are so easily tracked because we're so predictable.
01:53:38.060The other reason why this is interesting to me is.
01:53:44.960We're going to be asked in my lifetime, we're going to be asked to define life.
01:53:50.380We can't define it now, even inside the womb of a woman.
01:53:56.580When AI passes the Turing test and you cannot tell the difference.
01:54:00.840Is that because it has intelligence or just because it can predict what your next question is going to be and predict the answer that will satisfy you?
01:54:39.600It means we should have a deep discussions on AI because it's just a predictive model.
01:54:51.440And so if it is tasked with, well, remember that game where they said where it had to find the AIs played characters and they had to create fuel.
01:55:08.660Oh yeah, that was the, uh, that was, it was a life, uh, artificial life simulation, um, and survival in the game required energy, but childbirth didn't.
01:55:19.560So the AI to try to make this society work evolved into a sedentary lifestyle that consisted mostly of mating in order to produce new children, which could be eaten.
01:56:12.980We just found there was a story out today that, uh, I think it was Google maps found that they were taking, uh, they were taking the, the satellite, uh, uh, photography and they were having to, they tasked AI with making these maps quickly and translate this into like a Google map.
01:56:32.200Well, it did, but it was leaving things out of the map like skylights.
01:56:37.420So if there was a building with a bunch of skylights or a bunch of things on top of a roof, it didn't have the time to complete the map.
01:56:45.180It was not told delete or take any shortcuts.
01:59:45.200But if it does, it will be a gigantic story in the markets on Monday.
01:59:49.000They are expecting a very big and violent weekend in France with the yellow vests and what they are working on.
01:59:58.320But they are now trying intentionally, openly trying to collapse the euro.
02:00:03.280And they're asking anybody who supports them to take 20% of their money out of the European banks this weekend.
02:00:09.920But that in cryptocurrency, if that would happen, which I don't think most people will do, if that would happen, it would cause possibly a collapse and a run on the banks in France and possibly in Europe.
