The Glenn Beck Program - Glenn Completely Changes Course on Trump's Tariffs ｜ 2⧸26⧸26

00:00:00.000 We talk a lot about supply chains, like, you know, food just materializes, you know, from a system, like it's all automated, impersonal, and global by default.

00:00:10.100 But food comes from people.

00:00:12.160 It comes from that family that has been working the same land for a generation.

00:00:15.920 It comes from ranchers who know the weather better than the forecasters do.

00:00:20.040 It comes from hands that actually raise what ends up on your table.

00:00:24.500 Good ranchers decided something simple.

00:00:26.500 If you're going to feed American families, you source it from American farms and ranches, 100%. 1.00

00:00:33.620 No imported shortcuts, no blurred labels, no games.

00:01:44.900 Now let's get to work.

00:01:45.840 Spark the flame

00:02:07.260 Pass it on

00:02:09.820 Crank the game

00:02:12.340 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:02:34.320 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:38.240 Glenn Beck is on

00:02:39.620 I don't know how we're going to get to everything today.

00:02:43.400 We have like a little

00:02:44.800 private Bay of Pigs things

00:02:47.100 happening in Cuba.

00:02:50.600 We have

00:02:51.420 John Thune saying, I don't know,

00:02:53.280 we have important things to do.

00:02:54.620 You know, maybe not the SAVE Act is not the most important.

00:02:57.000 Oh my gosh, I can't believe that.

00:02:58.700 Also, Elon Musk came out and said

00:03:01.080 AGI, he believes, is going to happen

00:03:03.200 this year. That's artificial general

00:03:05.120 intelligence. That's a massive

00:03:06.860 change. And in that same speech,

00:03:09.220 he said, and by the way,

00:03:10.520 I don't think you should be saving for retirement.

00:03:13.120 Wait, what?

00:03:15.240 We have to talk about that today.

00:03:17.780 Also, Medicare fraud.

00:03:19.240 I don't know if you saw this.

00:03:20.860 Pennsylvania, in just one part

00:03:23.000 of Medicaid, is it Medicare or Medicaid?

00:03:25.540 Medicaid.

00:03:26.600 One part of Medicaid.

00:03:29.120 The state of Pennsylvania went

00:03:30.760 from $5 million a year

00:03:33.040 to $583 million

00:03:35.980 a year.

00:03:37.600 How'd that happen?

00:03:38.860 Where did all that money go?

00:03:41.140 Fraud is rampant.

00:03:43.620 Rampant.

00:03:46.840 Also, today,

00:03:48.220 I have to tell you,

00:03:51.300 I have to reverse myself

00:03:52.680 on a major policy.

00:03:54.180 Something I have

00:03:54.960 fought for, for my whole life.

00:03:57.780 my whole life.

00:03:59.260 And I've kind of danced

00:04:01.500 around this over the last

00:04:02.860 couple of months,

00:04:03.560 but I wasn't really sure.

00:04:05.120 And I've done my homework on it,

00:04:06.820 and I've really thought about it,

00:04:08.360 and I've looked at history,

00:04:09.520 and I have to reverse myself

00:04:11.440 on a major policy.

00:04:13.260 I am going to admit

00:04:14.860 I was wrong.

00:04:19.040 And I'll probably do that

00:04:20.320 next hour,

00:04:21.120 because I've got to tell you,

00:04:22.940 when you look at all of the news

00:04:25.840 that is happening today,

00:04:27.480 there's two really big stories

00:04:30.280 that are being left out

00:04:31.480 that no one's talking about.

00:04:34.380 But the State of the Union,

00:04:36.380 two nights ago,

00:04:37.400 when that happened,

00:04:38.740 that was his effort

00:04:40.460 of saying,

00:04:41.380 look,

00:04:41.940 things are getting better,

00:04:43.120 things are changing,

00:04:44.180 these guys are the problem,

00:04:46.040 I have the solution,

00:04:47.520 are you going to stick with me,

00:04:49.100 America?

00:04:50.460 And two stories

00:04:52.540 came out yesterday,

00:04:53.460 and when I saw them,

00:04:54.940 I'm like,

00:04:55.360 oh my gosh,

00:04:56.560 oh my gosh,

00:04:57.760 if you understand

00:04:58.860 these two things,

00:05:00.340 history will record

00:05:03.060 these times,

00:05:04.120 and if this works,

00:05:06.680 we will be the first country

00:05:08.780 or first empire

00:05:10.100 to ever reverse

00:05:12.180 the pattern of decline.

00:05:15.020 Because of two stories

00:05:16.920 that I read yesterday,

00:05:18.420 it will become clear

00:05:20.260 the fundamental transformation

00:05:22.080 of America,

00:05:23.320 the second American century,

00:05:26.500 that America is no longer

00:05:28.120 in decline,

00:05:29.040 it is actually going to lead.

00:05:31.800 If we don't change course,

00:05:33.920 it will become very clear

00:05:35.380 and all of the other stories

00:05:36.680 will start to make sense,

00:05:37.600 and I want to start there

00:05:38.500 in 60 seconds.

00:05:40.060 First,

00:05:40.460 American financing.

00:05:42.020 You ever feel like

00:05:42.820 you just need a moment

00:05:43.620 to take a breath?

00:05:44.460 I mean,

00:05:44.640 not a vacation,

00:05:45.480 not a week off,

00:05:46.080 just a little space,

00:05:47.700 a little room in your chest

00:05:49.100 that isn't filled with numbers

00:05:50.300 and due dates

00:05:51.360 and interest rates

00:05:52.340 that never seem to sleep.

00:05:53.900 For a lot of people,

00:05:54.900 that pressure isn't coming

00:05:55.940 from one big disaster,

00:05:57.000 it's just coming from

00:05:57.800 a stack of high-interest debt

00:05:59.380 that just sits there

00:06:00.180 month after month

00:06:00.880 quietly draining your paycheck

00:06:02.240 before you even get a chance

00:06:03.360 to use it for something

00:06:04.700 that actually matters.

00:06:06.280 Credit cards

00:06:06.880 at 20-something percent,

00:06:09.260 personal loans

00:06:10.040 that looked helpful

00:06:10.800 at the time,

00:06:11.480 that's where American financing

00:06:12.800 can step in

00:06:13.540 and help you.

00:06:14.460 They are salary,

00:06:15.860 employee-owned company,

00:06:17.620 which means

00:06:18.160 their mortgage consultants

00:06:19.260 aren't paid to push you

00:06:20.600 into something

00:06:21.280 that doesn't make sense.

00:06:22.560 They'll take the time

00:06:23.240 to look at your

00:06:23.700 full financial picture

00:06:24.720 and see whether

00:06:25.760 consolidating high-interest debt

00:06:27.300 into your mortgage

00:06:28.200 could lower your monthly payments,

00:06:29.580 reduce your interest

00:06:30.440 that you're paying overall.

00:06:32.120 No upfront fees.

00:06:33.300 They'll shoot straight with you.

00:06:35.280 I've done business

00:06:36.160 with these people

00:06:36.740 for, gosh,

00:06:37.720 over 20 years now.

00:06:39.280 It's American Financing,

00:06:40.560 800-906-2440,

00:06:42.800 800-906-2440.

00:06:45.240 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:06:47.000 NMLS 1-82334.

00:06:48.320 NMLSconsumeraccess.org.

00:06:50.140 APR for Ritz and the Five

00:06:51.140 starts at 6.799%

00:06:52.700 for well-qualified borrowers.

00:06:53.920 Call 800-906-2440

00:06:55.760 for details about

00:06:56.520 credit costs and terms.

00:06:59.480 Okay.

00:07:00.620 While we were all talking

00:07:02.040 about the State of the Union yesterday,

00:07:04.660 two big stories happen.

00:07:06.580 And this has been unfolding

00:07:07.660 for the last couple of days.

00:07:10.820 And both of these stories

00:07:12.360 are treated as no biggie.

00:07:14.220 And I found them yesterday

00:07:15.840 and I'm like,

00:07:16.260 oh my gosh,

00:07:16.920 these are earth-shattering.

00:07:19.800 So let me tell you

00:07:20.660 the first one.

00:07:21.600 Prime Minister of India,

00:07:23.680 Prime Minister Modi,

00:07:25.260 landed in Israel yesterday

00:07:26.940 and then he addressed

00:07:28.000 the Knesset.

00:07:30.420 Then they signed

00:07:31.940 defense agreements

00:07:33.680 or they discussed

00:07:34.940 these defense agreements

00:07:37.560 that are going

00:07:39.040 way beyond

00:07:40.480 commerce.

00:07:42.340 It's deep

00:07:43.720 integration

00:07:44.520 of Israel's

00:07:45.680 layer air defense systems,

00:07:47.400 including the

00:07:48.580 Iron Dome

00:07:49.400 and the laser layer

00:07:51.300 known as the

00:07:52.040 Iron Beam.

00:07:53.480 Okay.

00:07:55.580 Not a sale.

00:07:56.960 Not a sale of those things

00:07:58.600 to India.

00:08:00.340 Integration.

00:08:01.600 Okay.

00:08:02.340 Technology

00:08:03.020 transfer discussions

00:08:04.640 happened yesterday.

00:08:07.060 This is joint production

00:08:08.920 and institutional

00:08:10.200 entanglement.

00:08:13.140 Okay.

00:08:13.460 Even if half of what

00:08:15.260 is being reported

00:08:16.020 about the Iron Beam,

00:08:18.940 the cost per

00:08:19.980 interception

00:08:20.860 is accurate,

00:08:21.700 it's game-changing.

00:08:24.160 I don't know if you know

00:08:24.780 about the Iron Beam.

00:08:26.220 You've heard about

00:08:26.680 the Iron Dome.

00:08:27.400 What is the Iron Beam?

00:08:28.260 Right now,

00:08:30.060 if you have an

00:08:30.660 interceptor missile,

00:08:31.920 okay,

00:08:32.180 an interceptor missile

00:08:33.440 is anywhere between

00:08:35.240 $2 million

00:08:36.860 and $110 million.

00:08:39.740 Why do

00:08:40.980 third-rate countries

00:08:42.420 love new technology

00:08:44.100 so much?

00:08:45.020 Because they could

00:08:45.880 take a million dollars

00:08:47.300 and pour it all

00:08:48.540 into drones

00:08:49.360 and they could just

00:08:50.800 wipe an aircraft

00:08:51.920 carrier out.

00:08:52.900 Okay.

00:08:53.700 Because we have to

00:08:55.020 fire really expensive

00:08:56.900 weapons to take

00:08:57.980 those things down

00:08:58.960 and so you just

00:08:59.760 bankrupt us.

00:09:01.540 What the Iron Laser

00:09:03.680 is doing is

00:09:04.960 it's single-digit

00:09:06.500 dollars of electricity.

00:09:08.320 So you turn it on,

00:09:10.380 boom, boom.

00:09:11.220 It's the electricity

00:09:12.440 that fast

00:09:13.500 and that's all

00:09:14.000 you're paying for

00:09:14.500 and it's single-digit

00:09:15.760 dollars instead of

00:09:16.980 $110 million

00:09:18.180 as an interceptor.

00:09:19.720 That changes

00:09:20.880 the game.

00:09:22.160 The economics

00:09:23.540 of attrition

00:09:24.380 warfare

00:09:25.000 completely out

00:09:26.420 the window.

00:09:26.840 the old model

00:09:29.240 has been

00:09:29.880 overwhelm your

00:09:30.760 enemy with

00:09:31.320 cheap drones

00:09:32.220 and rockets

00:09:32.860 until he runs

00:09:33.560 out of the

00:09:34.020 expensive interceptors.

00:09:36.700 That math

00:09:37.800 collapses

00:09:38.620 if

00:09:39.700 defense becomes

00:09:41.420 cheaper than

00:09:42.040 offense.

00:09:42.800 Okay.

00:09:43.120 Now that's

00:09:44.100 one shift

00:09:44.940 that went

00:09:45.880 over to

00:09:46.580 India.

00:09:48.000 Now here's

00:09:48.920 the second.

00:09:50.360 India's

00:09:51.000 Ministry of

00:09:51.760 Defense

00:09:52.260 briefly posted

00:09:53.760 and then

00:09:54.400 deleted

00:09:54.860 that the

00:09:56.520 Indian Navy

00:09:57.440 had begun

00:09:58.120 intercepting

00:09:59.880 and seizing

00:10:00.720 the Shadow

00:10:01.740 Fleet oil

00:10:02.620 tankers.

00:10:04.540 Wait a minute.

00:10:05.960 What?

00:10:07.660 The Shadow

00:10:08.740 Fleet,

00:10:09.540 these are ships

00:10:10.360 wildly understood

00:10:11.600 to be part of

00:10:12.360 Russia's 0.70

00:10:13.000 sanctions

00:10:13.700 evasion

00:10:14.400 system.

00:10:15.280 Okay.

00:10:15.580 This is

00:10:16.440 going from

00:10:17.280 Russia to

00:10:18.300 other countries

00:10:19.180 and from

00:10:20.180 Iran to

00:10:21.560 Russia,

00:10:22.200 et cetera,

00:10:22.540 et cetera.

00:10:22.940 He posted

00:10:23.940 that they were

00:10:24.540 now going

00:10:25.340 after the

00:10:25.900 Shadow

00:10:26.200 Fleet and

00:10:26.860 then the

00:10:27.140 tweet

00:10:27.360 disappeared.

00:10:28.460 But the

00:10:29.200 operations

00:10:29.720 didn't.

00:10:31.220 So let me

00:10:31.620 translate this.

00:10:34.420 India has 0.96

00:10:35.760 been kind of

00:10:36.520 a frenemy,

00:10:37.980 if you will.

00:10:38.620 They're kind

00:10:39.060 of,

00:10:39.460 they just,

00:10:40.620 they always

00:10:41.000 play the

00:10:41.660 edges.

00:10:42.140 You know,

00:10:43.260 their national

00:10:44.420 identity for

00:10:46.260 80 years has

00:10:47.060 been non-aligned.

00:10:48.500 We're not going

00:10:49.020 to align with

00:10:49.820 anybody.

00:10:50.500 And they're

00:10:51.520 the founder

00:10:52.140 of BRICS.

00:10:53.960 Okay.

00:10:55.120 Historic

00:10:55.880 customer of

00:10:56.720 Moscow for

00:10:57.660 defense.

00:10:59.120 They bought

00:11:00.320 a ton of

00:11:01.460 discounted

00:11:02.080 Russian oil,

00:11:02.860 even during

00:11:03.680 the Ukraine

00:11:04.180 war.

00:11:05.320 India has 0.96

00:11:06.580 built its

00:11:07.300 post-independence

00:11:08.540 mythology around

00:11:09.940 strategic

00:11:11.660 autonomy.

00:11:13.440 Okay.

00:11:13.800 It,

00:11:14.320 it doesn't

00:11:15.260 bow to

00:11:15.880 anyone.

00:11:16.560 It doesn't,

00:11:17.240 it's not part

00:11:17.800 of a block

00:11:18.520 until this

00:11:21.200 week.

00:11:22.980 India is

00:11:24.000 now policing

00:11:24.860 maritime law

00:11:26.080 against the

00:11:26.920 financial

00:11:27.420 lifeline of

00:11:28.740 Vladimir Putin.

00:11:29.820 That's not a

00:11:31.080 policy tweak.

00:11:32.040 That is a

00:11:33.120 tectonic

00:11:33.800 shift.

00:11:35.040 The shadow

00:11:36.260 fleet is not

00:11:37.440 a detail.

00:11:38.140 It's how

00:11:39.020 Russia sells

00:11:39.860 oil outside

00:11:40.980 of the

00:11:41.600 sanctions

00:11:42.060 regime.

00:11:42.600 It's the

00:11:43.320 way Russia 0.72

00:11:44.080 gets around

00:11:44.860 us and

00:11:45.460 the rest

00:11:45.820 of the

00:11:46.080 West.

00:11:46.420 It's how

00:11:47.180 Moscow

00:11:47.740 finances

00:11:48.540 drones.

00:11:49.740 It's how

00:11:50.560 they finance

00:11:51.280 artillery

00:11:52.020 shells and

00:11:52.720 spare parts

00:11:53.720 and political

00:11:54.800 loyalty.

00:11:55.640 If you

00:11:56.540 take down

00:11:57.140 the shadow

00:11:57.720 fleet,

00:11:58.380 you constrict

00:11:59.520 the war.

00:12:00.620 And what

00:12:01.520 India is

00:12:02.000 doing is

00:12:02.640 not stopping

00:12:03.260 there.

00:12:04.220 Iran is

00:12:05.220 also using

00:12:06.140 the same

00:12:06.640 kind of

00:12:06.980 network to

00:12:07.640 move

00:12:07.980 sanctioned

00:12:08.520 oil.

00:12:09.120 China buys

00:12:09.920 enormous

00:12:10.680 quantities of

00:12:11.640 discounted

00:12:12.200 Russian and

00:12:12.700 Iranian

00:12:13.140 crude,

00:12:14.300 cheap

00:12:14.620 energy that

00:12:15.480 subsidizes

00:12:16.200 Beijing's

00:12:17.000 manufacturing

00:12:17.680 edge and

00:12:18.840 their ambitions

00:12:19.860 to rule

00:12:20.460 the world.

00:12:21.960 Now,

00:12:22.180 imagine

00:12:22.820 India

00:12:23.900 taking their

00:12:24.900 navy and

00:12:25.940 saying,

00:12:26.680 yeah,

00:12:26.800 we're going

00:12:27.100 to choke 0.96

00:12:27.940 that off,

00:12:28.780 not just

00:12:29.400 by America,

00:12:30.480 but now

00:12:31.500 joined by

00:12:32.120 India,

00:12:33.400 a non-aligned

00:12:35.000 BRICS 0.99

00:12:35.940 founder,

00:12:36.760 the country

00:12:38.260 that for

00:12:38.840 decades

00:12:39.600 used Moscow

00:12:40.560 as leverage

00:12:41.340 against

00:12:41.780 Washington.

00:12:42.440 That's what

00:12:43.180 India does. 0.61

00:12:43.820 They play

00:12:44.220 both sides.

00:12:45.260 But something

00:12:45.900 changed.

00:12:48.140 Hmm,

00:12:48.920 what has

00:12:50.280 changed?

00:12:53.080 Over the

00:12:54.020 last,

00:12:54.440 what,

00:12:54.660 two decades,

00:12:55.720 the narrative

00:12:56.720 coming out

00:12:57.460 of Washington

00:12:58.320 itself,

00:12:59.320 coming out

00:12:59.920 of the

00:13:00.280 United States

00:13:01.020 is,

00:13:01.960 America is

00:13:02.720 over.

00:13:03.340 America is

00:13:03.960 declining.

00:13:04.640 We're managing

00:13:05.300 the decline.

00:13:06.060 We're spending

00:13:07.060 ourselves into

00:13:07.880 oblivion.

00:13:08.880 We're not

00:13:09.200 doing any

00:13:09.800 of the

00:13:10.080 things that

00:13:10.500 you and

00:13:10.880 I know

00:13:11.280 we should

00:13:11.720 have been

00:13:11.960 doing for

00:13:12.420 a very

00:13:12.800 long time.

00:13:14.340 So,

00:13:14.980 BRICS,

00:13:15.580 the dollar

00:13:16.120 is going

00:13:16.700 to fall.

00:13:17.740 BRICS 0.99

00:13:18.040 will replace

00:13:18.900 the West.

00:13:20.380 China's 0.76

00:13:20.980 century is

00:13:22.140 inevitable.

00:13:23.860 That's been

00:13:24.520 the narrative

00:13:25.160 for the last

00:13:25.900 20 years

00:13:26.540 because we

00:13:27.060 hollowed out

00:13:27.540 our industrial

00:13:28.100 base.

00:13:29.140 We

00:13:29.300 financialized

00:13:30.400 absolutely

00:13:31.100 everything.

00:13:32.520 And we

00:13:32.720 were sitting

00:13:33.160 here arguing

00:13:33.760 about

00:13:34.080 pronouns

00:13:35.220 while China

00:13:37.000 and everybody

00:13:37.520 else was

00:13:38.080 building

00:13:38.360 factories

00:13:38.960 and missiles.

00:13:40.640 And what

00:13:41.320 was happening

00:13:41.980 was our

00:13:42.840 politicians,

00:13:44.380 unbeknownst to

00:13:45.160 you, I mean,

00:13:45.720 they would say

00:13:46.340 it, but they

00:13:47.040 didn't ask you

00:13:47.640 to vote on

00:13:48.120 this, they

00:13:48.880 were managing

00:13:49.720 America's

00:13:50.540 decline.

00:13:53.660 Then Donald

00:13:54.700 Trump came in

00:13:55.280 2016, but he

00:13:56.560 didn't have it.

00:13:57.920 He didn't really

00:13:59.620 have his arms

00:14:00.260 around what

00:14:00.800 everything was

00:14:01.880 and how to

00:14:02.540 manage

00:14:02.920 everything.

00:14:04.620 Then came

00:14:05.680 2024.

00:14:07.600 When Donald

00:14:08.820 Trump came

00:14:09.500 in, the

00:14:11.080 strategy now

00:14:12.000 is not

00:14:12.680 subtle.

00:14:14.460 The moves

00:14:15.640 he's making

00:14:16.420 are all

00:14:17.200 transactional

00:14:18.000 and unapologetic.

00:14:20.140 Carrot and

00:14:20.920 stick and

00:14:22.160 mean both

00:14:23.180 of them.

00:14:24.760 But India

00:14:25.760 continued buying

00:14:26.480 Russian oil.

00:14:27.880 So tariffs

00:14:28.380 followed.

00:14:29.540 Trade leverage

00:14:30.160 followed.

00:14:31.200 Energy dominance

00:14:32.040 returned as a

00:14:33.080 strategic tool

00:14:33.820 here in the

00:14:34.220 United States.

00:14:35.380 Sanctions

00:14:35.860 enforcement

00:14:37.020 tightened.

00:14:38.320 U.S.

00:14:38.760 naval seizures

00:14:39.560 of the

00:14:41.160 Shadow Fleet

00:14:41.760 vessels off of

00:14:42.680 Venezuela sent 0.99

00:14:43.760 a very clear

00:14:44.820 message.

00:14:45.700 We are now

00:14:46.540 going to

00:14:47.160 enforce maritime

00:14:48.160 law.

00:14:49.600 We are not

00:14:50.460 screwing around.

00:14:51.720 Carrot and

00:14:52.540 stick and

00:14:53.440 mean both.

00:14:55.740 Here in

00:14:56.360 America, our

00:14:57.060 press said,

00:14:57.520 that's reckless.

00:14:58.080 It's going

00:14:59.440 to alienate

00:15:00.160 India and

00:15:00.540 the rest of

00:15:00.940 the world.

00:15:01.640 It's only

00:15:02.300 going to

00:15:02.520 strengthen

00:15:02.920 bricks.

00:15:04.800 Except look

00:15:05.680 what just

00:15:06.160 happened.

00:15:07.860 We now

00:15:08.820 have a

00:15:09.320 sweeping

00:15:09.920 trade

00:15:10.560 framework

00:15:11.120 that is

00:15:12.180 reducing

00:15:12.640 tariffs

00:15:13.200 conditional

00:15:14.100 on India

00:15:15.180 curbing

00:15:15.780 Russian

00:15:16.280 energy

00:15:16.860 purchases.

00:15:18.280 First they

00:15:19.120 said no,

00:15:19.800 then they

00:15:20.300 said yes.

00:15:21.160 now they're

00:15:23.100 in Israel

00:15:24.180 partnering

00:15:26.620 on the

00:15:27.740 Iron Dome

00:15:28.580 and then

00:15:30.060 they begin

00:15:30.680 maritime

00:15:31.060 enforcement

00:15:31.620 against the

00:15:32.180 Shadow

00:15:32.440 Fleet

00:15:32.760 tankers.

00:15:34.040 Modi

00:15:34.260 standing in

00:15:34.980 Jerusalem

00:15:35.380 discussing the

00:15:36.280 integrated

00:15:36.740 defense

00:15:37.440 architecture

00:15:38.120 while F-22s 1.00

00:15:39.600 are sitting

00:15:40.040 on the

00:15:40.460 Israeli

00:15:40.820 tarmac.

00:15:42.200 China is 0.85

00:15:42.860 negotiating

00:15:43.460 for supersonic

00:15:44.420 anti-ship

00:15:45.140 missiles with

00:15:45.860 Iran.

00:15:46.360 India is

00:15:48.740 tightening

00:15:49.220 the alignment

00:15:49.940 with the

00:15:50.500 West's

00:15:51.120 security

00:15:51.740 ecosystem.

00:15:52.620 This is

00:15:52.940 not chaos.

00:15:54.440 This is

00:15:55.120 fundamental

00:15:56.040 transformation

00:15:56.780 of the way

00:15:57.640 the world

00:15:58.160 is working.

00:16:01.220 We have

00:16:02.260 pursued

00:16:02.980 cautiously

00:16:03.760 India for

00:16:04.700 a very

00:16:05.160 long time.

00:16:06.720 Then their

00:16:07.100 Silicon Valley

00:16:08.200 section,

00:16:09.240 Bangalador I

00:16:10.440 think,

00:16:11.480 it realized

00:16:14.000 wait I've

00:16:14.500 got to do

00:16:14.900 things differently.

00:16:15.900 Then

00:16:16.140 after the

00:16:17.320 tidal wave,

00:16:20.840 what was

00:16:21.500 that in

00:16:21.780 Japan?

00:16:22.220 Remember the

00:16:22.540 big tidal wave?

00:16:23.200 I can't

00:16:23.360 remember what

00:16:23.680 that was

00:16:23.900 called.

00:16:24.640 But anyway,

00:16:25.380 something formed

00:16:26.280 called the

00:16:27.020 Quad.

00:16:29.620 Bangalador

00:16:30.580 grew,

00:16:31.720 the Quad

00:16:32.200 was formed,

00:16:33.140 relations

00:16:33.540 start to

00:16:34.160 thaw,

00:16:35.040 suspicion

00:16:35.580 still lingered,

00:16:37.240 India still 0.78

00:16:37.940 balancing

00:16:38.500 their relationship

00:16:39.700 between Moscow

00:16:40.780 and the

00:16:41.400 United States,

00:16:42.220 not choosing

00:16:42.780 side.

00:16:43.260 What you're

00:16:44.240 witnessing now

00:16:45.160 is different.

00:16:47.000 The U.S.-India 0.98

00:16:48.060 relationship

00:16:48.640 has been

00:16:49.660 thawing

00:16:50.740 because of

00:16:51.540 India's

00:16:52.120 Silicon Valley.

00:16:53.860 What they

00:16:54.260 realized is

00:16:55.800 that we

00:16:56.800 need to

00:16:57.160 integrate with

00:16:57.820 the U.S.

00:16:58.580 and the

00:16:59.140 West on

00:16:59.760 tech.

00:17:00.640 U.S.-India

00:17:01.840 tech integration

00:17:02.880 has to

00:17:03.600 happen.

00:17:04.840 Massive

00:17:05.520 Indian

00:17:05.940 migration to

00:17:06.840 the United

00:17:07.240 States,

00:17:07.800 we're closer.

00:17:08.860 Shared

00:17:09.180 software,

00:17:10.480 AI,

00:17:11.300 semiconductor,

00:17:12.340 defense

00:17:12.760 innovation,

00:17:13.240 ecosystems,

00:17:13.960 and then

00:17:15.360 a detox

00:17:16.260 in India

00:17:16.880 from the

00:17:17.360 Cold War

00:17:17.860 socialism

00:17:18.500 that they

00:17:18.900 were going

00:17:19.360 through.

00:17:19.920 Let me

00:17:21.640 explain this

00:17:22.040 in plain

00:17:22.420 terms.

00:17:23.340 India

00:17:23.760 began tying

00:17:24.740 its future

00:17:25.320 to the

00:17:25.820 West and

00:17:26.640 Western

00:17:26.980 capital,

00:17:27.760 Western

00:17:28.060 markets,

00:17:28.680 Western

00:17:28.980 technology,

00:17:29.700 and it

00:17:31.220 was the

00:17:31.540 first slow

00:17:32.500 shift from

00:17:33.340 Moscow.

00:17:34.220 Now,

00:17:34.660 I think

00:17:35.240 India is

00:17:36.260 looking at

00:17:37.100 who's going

00:17:37.560 to win

00:17:37.820 AI,

00:17:38.840 who's

00:17:39.340 actually

00:17:39.780 playing

00:17:40.260 for the

00:17:40.840 world,

00:17:41.220 who actually

00:17:42.220 has a

00:17:42.720 solution that

00:17:43.340 will work

00:17:44.060 and that

00:17:45.400 will want

00:17:45.960 partners,

00:17:46.860 and I

00:17:47.340 think they're

00:17:47.720 picking us.

00:17:49.060 Then,

00:17:49.940 like I said,

00:17:50.400 the Quad,

00:17:50.980 that's the

00:17:51.320 United States,

00:17:52.200 India,

00:17:52.540 Japan,

00:17:52.880 and Australia.

00:17:54.680 After the

00:17:55.500 tsunami in

00:17:56.100 2004,

00:17:57.280 they joined

00:17:58.220 this thing,

00:17:58.900 and then it

00:17:59.320 kind of went

00:17:59.680 dormant.

00:18:00.420 And then it

00:18:01.140 was revised

00:18:01.800 as a

00:18:03.040 balancing

00:18:03.500 coalition against

00:18:04.400 China,

00:18:04.940 because China

00:18:05.540 was,

00:18:05.960 everybody knew,

00:18:06.640 China was 0.98

00:18:07.060 growing in

00:18:07.600 maritime power

00:18:08.420 and aggression.

00:18:09.780 India agreed 0.81

00:18:11.180 to sit at

00:18:11.660 the security

00:18:12.120 table with

00:18:12.700 America and

00:18:13.980 the Indo-Pacific.

00:18:16.720 India

00:18:17.360 acknowledged

00:18:18.140 China as

00:18:19.140 a structural

00:18:19.820 threat.

00:18:21.060 That's a

00:18:21.480 pretty big

00:18:22.020 deal.

00:18:23.740 India began 0.97

00:18:24.480 stepping into

00:18:25.320 the coalition

00:18:25.980 instead of

00:18:28.660 strict non-alignment.

00:18:30.060 It was

00:18:30.220 cautious,

00:18:31.460 it was

00:18:31.720 quiet,

00:18:32.300 it was

00:18:32.540 incomplete,

00:18:33.020 but it was

00:18:33.900 the first

00:18:34.540 visible crack

00:18:35.940 in India's

00:18:36.580 80-year-old

00:18:37.240 posture.

00:18:37.640 Donald Trump

00:18:41.900 comes in,

00:18:42.380 he sees

00:18:42.820 all of

00:18:43.140 this,

00:18:43.400 he sees

00:18:43.840 what's

00:18:44.120 happening,

00:18:44.980 and he

00:18:45.300 sees the

00:18:45.780 opportunity.

00:18:47.540 What just

00:18:48.520 happened with

00:18:49.040 the shadow

00:18:49.500 fleet enforcement

00:18:50.680 and deeper

00:18:51.920 defense

00:18:52.560 integration is

00:18:54.000 not

00:18:54.640 incremental.

00:18:56.240 It is

00:18:56.680 massive

00:18:57.480 acceleration.

00:18:58.680 For 30

00:18:59.620 years,

00:19:00.380 India leaned 0.98

00:19:01.680 towards the

00:19:02.440 West

00:19:02.740 economically.

00:19:03.460 For 15

00:19:05.500 years,

00:19:06.140 they leaned

00:19:06.600 to the

00:19:06.820 West

00:19:07.000 strategically,

00:19:07.980 but now

00:19:08.500 this is a

00:19:09.560 structural

00:19:10.140 move.

00:19:11.240 Why does

00:19:11.740 this all

00:19:12.160 matter?

00:19:12.680 I'll tell

00:19:12.980 you in

00:19:13.200 60 seconds.

00:19:13.960 First,

00:19:16.560 Relief

00:19:16.860 Factor.

00:21:46.340 this

00:21:46.540 is

00:21:46.680 a

00:21:46.840 major

00:21:47.400 massive

00:21:48.440 plan

00:21:48.880 it's

00:21:49.260 all

00:21:49.620 connected

00:21:50.180 okay

00:22:02.080 because

00:22:03.440 what

00:22:04.140 president

00:22:04.540 is

00:22:04.900 doing

00:22:05.260 is

00:22:05.600 remarkable

00:22:06.500 and

00:22:07.180 if

00:22:07.360 this

00:22:07.740 solidifies

00:22:08.620 if

00:22:08.940 India's

00:22:09.520 pivot

00:22:09.820 holds

00:22:10.460 then

00:22:11.440 BRICS 0.99

00:22:12.040 has

00:22:12.400 a

00:22:12.600 massive

00:22:13.240 hole

00:22:13.880 in

00:22:14.220 the

00:22:18.340 it

00:22:19.400 loses

00:22:19.940 financially

00:22:20.860 it

00:22:21.440 doesn't

00:22:21.760 have

00:22:22.040 it

00:22:22.420 doesn't

00:22:22.920 cash

00:22:23.220 flow

00:22:23.500 anymore

00:22:23.920 and

00:22:24.860 everything

00:22:25.420 is

00:22:25.980 tilting

00:22:26.520 towards

00:22:27.140 enforcement

00:22:28.940 instead

00:22:29.580 of

00:22:31.840 changes

00:22:32.300 everything

00:22:32.740 none

00:22:33.020 of this

00:22:33.320 is

00:22:33.920 none

00:22:34.500 of this

00:22:34.820 is

00:22:34.980 magic

00:22:35.360 if

00:22:37.040 this

00:22:37.300 strategic

00:22:37.940 realignment

00:22:38.900 is paired

00:22:39.840 with

00:22:40.120 fiscal

00:22:40.700 seriousness

00:22:41.460 at

00:22:41.960 home

00:22:42.400 if

00:22:43.800 corruption

00:22:44.360 is

00:22:44.620 curtailed

00:22:45.220 we got

00:22:48.140 waste

00:22:48.520 is

00:22:48.740 cut

00:22:49.020 if

00:22:49.540 energy

00:22:50.040 dominance

00:22:50.520 is

00:22:50.880 sustained

00:22:51.440 that

00:22:51.820 depends

00:22:52.260 on

00:22:52.620 the

00:22:53.200 act

00:22:53.600 and

00:22:55.560 reciprocal

00:22:56.180 rather

00:25:58.800 even

00:26:00.660 worse

00:26:01.760 than those

00:26:02.420 guys did

00:26:02.940 they

00:26:03.200 he

00:26:03.840 believed

00:26:04.420 that united

00:26:05.040 states

00:26:20.900 that is

00:26:22.360 going to

00:26:23.020 replace

00:26:23.680 the united

00:26:24.140 states

00:26:24.460 it would

00:26:24.780 put us

00:26:25.300 into this

00:26:25.920 global

00:26:26.580 shell

00:26:27.180 but you

00:26:28.100 have to

00:26:28.560 have the

00:26:29.040 decline

00:26:29.400 you can't

00:26:30.080 fix the

00:26:30.700 problems

00:26:31.940 to accelerate

00:26:32.860 the problems

00:26:33.580 to get

00:26:34.120 that decline

00:26:34.860 to actually

00:26:35.520 happen

00:26:35.960 donald trump

00:26:43.880 and a

00:26:44.120 good

00:26:44.240 place

00:26:44.600 and

00:26:44.840 while

00:26:45.380 we don't

00:26:45.780 have to

00:26:46.160 rule

00:29:23.020 of the

00:29:23.340 backroom

00:29:24.120 shady deals

00:29:31.580 industry and

00:29:32.220 this government

00:29:32.880 and they're

00:29:33.280 plotting the

00:29:47.380 an affair

00:29:48.060 uh this is

00:29:50.160 not about

00:29:50.740 infidelity he

00:29:52.060 tried to make

00:29:52.660 it about

00:29:53.000 that now

00:29:55.240 bill gates

00:29:56.180 admits i

00:29:57.240 had two

00:29:57.580 affairs uh

00:29:58.600 during my

00:29:59.160 my marriage

00:29:59.860 one with a

00:30:00.800 russian bridge

00:30:01.880 player and

00:30:03.680 the other one

00:30:04.260 with a russian

00:30:05.140 nuclear physicist

00:30:06.380 really bill did

00:30:09.680 you see the

00:30:10.200 world is not

00:30:10.840 enough remember

00:30:11.960 that james bond

00:30:12.920 can we put that

00:30:13.840 picture up of of

00:30:15.080 the russian

00:30:15.720 physicist the

00:30:16.580 nuclear physicist

00:30:17.500 that james bond

00:30:18.820 ran into it was

00:30:19.760 denise richards do

00:30:20.760 we happen to have

00:30:21.240 that picture i

00:30:22.600 mean bill you're

00:30:25.000 one of the

00:30:25.540 smartest guys you

00:30:27.080 know supposedly on

00:30:28.220 earth do you

00:30:28.840 really believe that

00:30:30.060 if she were hot 1.00

00:30:31.040 and a nuclear

00:30:32.160 physicist she'd be

00:30:34.120 all into you i

00:30:35.760 mean that's but

00:30:36.400 stupid at best but

00:30:37.940 fine you know

00:30:39.540 it's a personal

00:30:40.660 affair no it's not

00:30:41.720 it's not personal

00:30:42.520 and it's not private

00:30:43.280 because the bridge

00:30:45.580 player um she

00:30:48.760 was financially

00:30:49.600 assisted by jeffrey

00:30:50.900 epstein after

00:30:52.560 epstein had

00:30:53.320 already been

00:30:53.940 convicted of sex

00:30:54.900 crimes now

00:30:56.220 according to the

00:30:57.000 doj released

00:30:57.960 emails epstein

00:30:59.120 attempted to use

00:31:00.380 that relationship to

00:31:01.540 pressure bill gates

00:31:02.600 that's not gossip

00:31:03.740 that's leverage

00:31:05.540 now add this layer

00:31:08.080 to it

00:31:08.860 anato nova the

00:31:10.980 brit the russian

00:31:12.540 bridge player she

00:31:14.580 was photographed

00:31:15.060 with anna chapman

00:31:16.160 part of a russian

00:31:17.440 spy ring that was

00:31:18.560 rolled up by the

00:31:19.260 fbi in 2010 the

00:31:22.240 daughter of a

00:31:23.160 former kgb officer

00:31:24.880 deported intelligence

00:31:26.940 asset they're

00:31:28.380 hanging out oh

00:31:30.060 this sounds

00:31:30.700 dangerous and

00:31:31.540 strategic because

00:31:33.760 bill gates is not

00:31:35.180 just one of the

00:31:35.720 wealthiest men in

00:31:36.400 the world his

00:31:37.940 foundation influences

00:31:39.360 global health policy

00:31:40.800 as we all learn

00:31:41.880 through the world

00:31:43.700 economic forum and

00:31:44.800 the who his

00:31:46.500 technology platforms

00:31:47.900 even worse are

00:31:49.300 embedded in our

00:31:50.680 government systems

00:31:52.020 he has real

00:31:54.120 relationships tied to

00:31:55.900 military and federal

00:31:57.200 contracts he's not a

00:31:58.580 private citizen he is a

00:32:00.480 national security

00:32:01.680 interest and risk

00:32:03.500 so imagine this

00:32:06.700 scenario purely

00:32:08.720 hypothetical a wealthy

00:32:11.200 american titan in a

00:32:13.600 compromising relationship

00:32:14.940 with a foreign

00:32:16.680 national facilitated or

00:32:19.220 financially entangled by

00:32:20.840 a convicted black 0.55

00:32:22.040 mailer with global

00:32:23.360 connections if you were

00:32:26.580 running an intelligence

00:32:27.740 service in russia what

00:32:31.620 would you call that

00:32:32.860 i would call that a

00:32:37.340 honeypot operation and

00:32:40.140 if you were looking for

00:32:40.880 leverage over someone with

00:32:42.100 global vaccine influence

00:32:44.160 agricultural control 0.88

00:32:45.460 networks data

00:32:46.440 infrastructure access

00:32:47.880 you know advisory roles

00:32:49.960 across all kinds of

00:32:51.080 administrations his

00:32:52.400 systems are tied into our

00:32:54.060 pentagon and everything

00:32:54.860 else you don't need

00:32:56.040 proof of wrongdoing

00:32:57.380 you'd only need the

00:32:58.600 threat of exposure

00:32:59.720 epstein you have to

00:33:00.940 remember did not collect

00:33:02.160 young girls alone he

00:33:04.460 collected secrets he

00:33:06.300 collected powerful men he

00:33:08.400 collected what the

00:33:09.280 russians called

00:33:10.140 compromise okay

00:33:12.580 compromising information

00:33:14.940 on people

00:33:15.640 and once again we're

00:33:18.720 told nothing illicit

00:33:20.180 happened i saw nothing

00:33:21.880 illicit it doesn't matter 0.52

00:33:23.500 to foreign intelligence

00:33:25.000 agencies they'll say we

00:33:28.160 can make it look like

00:33:29.260 this bill you want your

00:33:30.520 wife to know about that 0.82

00:33:31.600 his wife he got a divorce

00:33:33.600 he he left his wife over

00:33:36.500 epstein why why why look

00:33:41.880 at what happened in the

00:33:42.580 uk an ambassador is

00:33:44.840 forced out amid just

00:33:46.080 allegations of secret

00:33:47.760 trading and misconduct

00:33:49.220 tied to private

00:33:51.120 underpants parties

00:33:52.860 okay that didn't start

00:33:56.460 the underpants party

00:33:57.400 scandal did not start

00:33:58.780 with espionage it began

00:34:01.520 with personal compromise

00:34:03.820 compromise is always the

00:34:06.120 doorway and that's what

00:34:07.640 makes this story from a

00:34:09.160 different from gossip about

00:34:10.780 a billionaire's marriage i

00:34:12.100 don't care about his

00:34:12.880 marriage this is the

00:34:15.360 convergence of russian

00:34:17.200 nationals epstein leverage

00:34:19.840 attempts because he talked

00:34:21.780 about he talked about the

00:34:23.340 leverage over bill gates in

00:34:25.700 his emails known intelligence

00:34:28.900 linked figures government and

00:34:31.820 military influence and

00:34:33.480 financial entanglement that's a

00:34:36.300 very wicked brew does it mean

00:34:39.520 he's guilty of espionage no

00:34:42.260 does it mean he was knowingly

00:34:45.140 part of a foreign plot not

00:34:47.480 necessarily no but does it

00:34:50.940 mean he was in the position

00:34:53.760 where someone could apply

00:34:55.420 pressure yes now do you trust

00:34:59.640 that he is safe in keeping your

00:35:02.420 most precious national secrets and

00:35:05.160 that he should be involved at in

00:35:07.480 our pentagon our government in

00:35:10.220 our ai in anything because he's

00:35:14.180 trustworthy no one thing i've

00:35:19.380 learned when the powerful say there

00:35:23.740 is nothing going on here there is

00:35:24.900 nothing to see it usually means don't

00:35:27.780 look here there's plenty to see right

00:35:29.800 yesterday i posted that uh what i

00:35:36.960 say and so it begins and so it

00:35:39.320 begins because i think this is the

00:35:41.240 first crack in something much much

00:35:43.960 larger larger and finally it's coming

00:35:47.580 home to america because i'm

00:35:50.500 interested in what's happening all

00:35:51.960 over with these very powerful people

00:35:53.960 in europe and everything else but

00:35:55.240 nobody in america nobody

00:35:57.620 and so it begins this is absolutely

00:36:05.120 worth watching and keeping your eye

00:36:07.220 on okay don't look away because if

00:36:11.820 leverage exists even briefly the

00:36:16.420 implications are not about his

00:36:17.860 marriage and this would not just be

00:36:21.400 the end of his reputation it would be

00:36:23.620 the beginning of something much much

00:36:25.960 bigger so i stand by what i posted

00:36:28.600 yesterday just those few words and so

00:36:32.340 it begins back in a minute

00:36:35.320 let me tell you about our uh our

00:36:39.900 sponsor uh this half hour it's the

00:36:41.960 burner launcher your son goes to

00:36:43.820 college during the day campus feels

00:36:45.980 safe enough you know uh the tours of

00:36:49.160 coffee shops the kids with backpacks the

00:36:51.460 headphones you know everybody walking

00:36:54.240 between uh classes it all looks fine

00:36:56.660 but college towns change uh they can

00:37:00.180 they can flip on a dime especially at

00:37:02.720 night parking lot uh you know in

00:37:04.580 garages they empty out side streets

00:37:06.900 get very very quiet parties let out and

00:37:09.680 suddenly your kid is walking back to

00:37:11.100 the dorm or an apartment with a phone

00:37:12.680 in his hand hoping nothing goes wrong

00:37:15.120 here's the reality on most campuses he

00:37:18.300 cannot carry a firearm even if he wanted

00:37:21.340 to he can't do it even if you wanted

00:37:23.980 him to he couldn't do even if he was an

00:37:25.820 expert he couldn't do it so give him

00:37:28.180 something that is legal in all 50 states

00:37:30.460 it doesn't require a permit anywhere and

00:37:32.800 still gives him or her real effective

00:37:35.960 protection the burner launcher it fires

00:37:38.580 non-lethal projectiles that can disable a

00:37:40.800 threat from a distance without the legal

00:37:42.500 consequences that come from a gun it's

00:37:45.300 compact it's easy to carry it gives you

00:37:47.780 something priceless as a parent and that

00:37:49.560 is options and hope you know hope you're

00:37:53.200 going to be okay is not a strategy

00:38:29.400 most of us think about protecting our home in

00:38:43.680 very physical ways we lock the doors we

00:38:45.780 install the cameras but there's another

00:38:47.860 way that your home can be targeted and it

00:38:49.580 doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in

00:38:51.280 your property

00:38:51.760 it is actually called home title fraud and

00:38:54.600 it's exactly what it sounds like

00:38:56.060 criminals forge documents they file them

00:38:58.620 with the county they transfer ownership

00:39:00.300 of your home into their name and then

00:39:02.440 once all that happens they can attempt to

00:39:05.280 take out loans against your property or

00:39:06.960 even try to sell it out from under you

00:39:08.600 the scary part is like you don't really

00:39:11.260 know much about this as it's going on

00:39:12.820 regular homeowners insurance doesn't

00:39:14.480 typically protect you from this and the

00:43:48.020 So the woman who could have been president, Kamala Harris, has come out and said,

00:43:54.500 40% of Americans, they don't have any kind of proof of their identity.

00:44:01.500 40% have no proof of their identity?

00:44:06.640 How are they living in this world today?

00:44:11.040 You have no idea.

00:44:12.780 I just can't take the stupidity and the lies.

00:44:18.020 Now, let me talk about truth.

00:44:21.300 Occasionally, it would be nice to hear somebody like that say,

00:44:24.120 you know what?

00:44:24.780 I was wrong.

00:44:26.500 I've always told you that if I'm wrong, I will lead with my mistakes.

00:44:30.940 So I want to say the three words that Sarah, our board operator, says no man has ever uttered.

00:44:38.260 I was wrong.

00:44:40.940 And I want to explain it to you, what I was wrong about and why it matters.

00:44:46.500 And then I'd love to hear your point of view on it, too, because I have a feeling some people are going to say,

00:44:52.220 no, Glenn, you're now wrong.

00:44:54.520 But I don't think so.

00:44:55.640 Let me make the case.

00:44:57.060 In 60 seconds, a major reversal.

00:44:59.540 All right.

00:44:59.780 First, let me tell you about Rapid Radios.

00:45:02.140 We have built a world where you can stream movies from space, but you still can't call for help in a canyon.

00:45:09.200 You can watch a live rocket launch on your phone.

00:45:14.180 You can chat with video, somebody on the other side of the planet.

00:45:18.060 But you take a drive through the mountains or you go hiking somewhere remote,

00:45:21.200 and suddenly that five-bar miracle in your pocket turns into a paperweight.

00:45:25.100 They have designed something that is incredible technology, okay?

00:45:32.480 We have incredible technology, but a lot of it depends on being in the right place at the right time.

00:45:36.460 This new technology, Rapid Radios, built for when you're not at the right place at the right time.

00:45:41.560 They're ready to go right out of the box, nationwide coverage, no complicated setup, no programming, no license.

00:45:48.740 You turn them on, you're connected.

00:45:50.460 That makes a difference on a road trip, on a hunting lease, a work site, anywhere where distance and terrain starts to work against you.

00:45:59.200 And it's not about rejecting modern technology.

00:46:01.560 It's about having a backup plan that works when modern convenience doesn't work.

00:46:05.940 The new Rad 1, available now.

00:46:08.160 Head on over to RapidRadios.com.

00:46:10.340 Get the radio built for real life.

00:46:12.500 It's communication redefined, only at RapidRadios.com.

00:46:16.440 RapidRadios.com.

00:46:17.480 All right.

00:46:21.300 There are moments in a man's life when he has to say three words and it does not come easily.

00:46:28.320 I was wrong.

00:46:31.320 On this one, I want you to understand, I want you to listen to the whole explanation here.

00:46:36.360 Because I don't believe I was wrong in principle.

00:46:39.360 I was wrong in understanding and possibly timing, okay?

00:46:46.140 I've been thinking about this and playing with this for a while now.

00:46:49.620 But I think I am ready to say what I once opposed, tariffs, I now think I support.

00:47:03.040 In fact, I know I support, okay?

00:47:04.700 I believed, and I believe sincerely, that free markets are not just efficient, but they're moral.

00:47:13.520 And I still believe that free markets are moral.

00:47:16.780 That voluntary exchange between borders lifts all boats.

00:47:21.020 That protectionism is a relic of fear.

00:47:24.120 And I hate that.

00:47:25.060 And I still believe those things, because historically, there is truth in that.

00:47:31.740 But historically, there is also proof in the other way.

00:47:36.060 And let me explain.

00:47:37.520 After World War II, the United States stood alone.

00:47:40.880 We had everybody's gold.

00:47:42.100 From World War I and then World War II, we had everyone's gold.

00:47:46.220 Everybody's gold.

00:47:46.940 Our factories, we didn't lose anything to a bombing here.

00:47:51.960 Our factories were untouched.

00:47:53.640 Our industry was unmatched.

00:47:55.460 Our dollar unquestioned.

00:47:57.600 Free trade worked.

00:47:59.640 Why?

00:48:01.400 Because we were the apex predator.

00:48:04.560 In a world of economic rubble, we were Tyrannosaurus Rex.

00:48:09.480 And in that environment, tariffs would have been stupid for us.

00:48:14.680 Why would we impose tariffs? 0.94

00:48:16.160 We wanted the world to buy our stuff.

00:48:18.540 We're an engine.

00:48:19.640 We're just churning stuff up.

00:48:22.220 Okay?

00:48:23.940 But that's not the only chapter in American history.

00:48:27.040 Let's go back further.

00:48:28.160 Before we had everybody's gold.

00:48:30.860 The founders, and there's a great George AI on income tax.

00:48:36.340 Unrelated to this, it's so funny because the George AI came up and I'm like, oh my gosh,

00:48:40.720 this is exactly, I mean, this is tied directly to what I'm talking about today.

00:48:44.400 The founders did not like income tax.

00:48:47.720 They didn't want any direct tax on people.

00:48:49.980 Okay?

00:48:50.280 The founders used tariffs as the primary funding mechanism of the federal government.

00:48:55.080 They did not have an IRS.

00:48:56.940 They did not believe in income tax.

00:48:58.760 They funded the entire government on tariffs, excise tax, and duties on imports.

00:49:05.720 That's it.

00:49:06.720 Okay?

00:49:07.140 It was simple.

00:49:08.280 It was transparent.

00:49:09.480 And it tied government revenue to trade rather than the confiscation of labor.

00:49:16.140 Okay?

00:49:16.700 That's how we set it up first.

00:49:20.020 Then came Abraham Lincoln and the early Republican Party.

00:49:24.300 Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans were unapologetically pro-tariff.

00:49:28.720 Why?

00:49:29.660 Ever wonder why the Republicans had for such a long time, oh, they're just for big business.

00:49:34.740 They're for big business.

00:49:35.880 It kind of comes from this in a way.

00:49:38.400 Okay?

00:49:38.580 America was industrializing at the time.

00:49:43.420 We were a nothing country back in the 1800s.

00:49:46.740 Okay?

00:49:46.860 We were still kind of a joke to the rest of the world.

00:49:49.680 We were a neat little experiment.

00:49:51.200 Let's put it that way.

00:49:52.740 And we needed to protect our infant industries from European dominance because they had all 1.00

00:49:59.360 of it.

00:49:59.700 We had nothing.

00:50:00.400 So we enacted tariffs, and tariffs allowed us to make our own steel, our railroads, our

00:50:06.920 manufacturing.

00:50:08.200 It helped turn a fractured farming nation into an industrial powerhouse.

00:50:16.320 Tariffs are not a sin.

00:50:18.800 They weren't then.

00:50:19.680 They aren't now.

00:50:21.380 Tariffs are a strategy.

00:50:24.400 So what happened?

00:50:25.700 Because tariffs were very, very popular from the founding of the country up until, hmm,

00:50:30.560 1913.

00:50:33.560 This is when tariffs start to get a bad name.

00:50:37.820 Tariffs.

00:50:38.300 What happened in 1913?

00:50:39.980 Oh, Woodrow Wilson, the Federal Reserve, and the income tax.

00:50:46.700 Okay?

00:50:48.400 Tariffs and income tax.

00:50:51.020 The federal government untethered itself from trade and tethered itself to your paycheck

00:50:56.920 instead.

00:50:57.720 However, it didn't fully untether itself from trade.

00:51:02.240 And this changed everything because by 1930, Smoot-Hawley come in, and they're rightly or wrongly

00:51:08.980 blamed for worsening the Great Depression because tariffs were imposed, and that's protectionism,

00:51:14.420 and it's become politically toxic.

00:51:16.740 Okay?

00:51:18.860 I believed they were toxic.

00:51:21.020 And one reason why they were toxic that I now understand is because they were coupled

00:51:28.380 with high taxes.

00:51:30.140 You cannot have both tariffs and high taxes.

00:51:34.960 I'll explain that in a minute.

00:51:36.440 So after World War II, America dominates the global economy. 0.78

00:51:42.040 Free trade is not just workable.

00:51:45.160 It's to our advantage.

00:51:47.660 Okay?

00:51:47.900 You got to start thinking, you know, we think all idealistically.

00:51:52.160 Well, that was the principle, free trade.

00:51:54.340 And they weren't thinking that way.

00:51:56.460 Okay?

00:51:56.620 They don't think that way now.

00:51:57.940 Why?

00:51:58.220 All of a sudden, they were pure and like the driven snow back in 1940 or 1950.

00:52:03.520 No.

00:52:04.440 They knew this was advantageous.

00:52:06.820 We had all the gold.

00:52:07.920 We had all of the industry.

00:52:09.460 We needed to sell stuff to the rest of the world.

00:52:12.440 So we opened our markets because we owned the markets.

00:52:17.700 And conservatives, including myself, inherited that worldview.

00:52:22.400 And we never asked beyond that worldview.

00:52:26.280 Free trade just became synonymous with prosperity because there are times when it is.

00:52:33.100 Tariffs become synonymous with stagnation.

00:52:39.080 Because when you have all of the cards, why would you block your own market?

00:52:43.240 If you're trying to sell to the rest of the world, don't do that.

00:52:46.680 Okay?

00:52:48.760 Inflation became the argument, enter.

00:52:51.540 Because that's what I always argue.

00:52:52.720 Well, tariffs are going to raise prices.

00:52:54.740 Case closed.

00:52:55.920 Okay?

00:52:56.620 But here's what I failed to see.

00:52:58.800 Free trade works when all of the players are playing free.

00:53:02.220 We all know that, right?

00:53:04.280 It works when your trading partners are not subsidizing industries, manipulating currencies,

00:53:09.820 stealing intellectual property, weaponizing supply chains, using slave labor.

00:53:15.680 We've said those things, but it never gets you over the hill.

00:53:19.620 Okay?

00:53:21.460 Here's what got me over the hill.

00:53:24.060 Tariffs or free trade works when you own the markets.

00:53:28.960 But there comes a time when you then have to look at it and say, okay, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:53:35.440 Now, we own the markets, but everybody else is weaponized trade against us.

00:53:40.120 And now, we're hollowing out our own industrial base.

00:53:45.180 You know, we're financing our adversaries' rise.

00:53:49.160 We see China.

00:53:50.560 We're funding that.

00:53:51.740 What are we doing?

00:53:52.820 We're hollowing ourselves out, and we're funding them.

00:53:56.620 This is insanity, okay?

00:53:58.800 It works when trade is reciprocal.

00:54:01.980 But when it's not, free trade becomes unilateral surrender.

00:54:07.340 And for decades, we told ourselves that cheap goods were proof of wisdom.

00:54:11.300 No, it was just proof of cheap goods.

00:54:14.660 Because while we were getting the cheap goods, our factories closed.

00:54:18.140 Our communities were collapsing.

00:54:20.000 Our strategic supply chains were all moved overseas.

00:54:23.480 We financialized our entire economy, while others were industrializing theirs.

00:54:32.360 And we confused low prices with national strength.

00:54:37.800 I didn't get this.

00:54:42.880 I mean, I've slowly been getting it.

00:54:45.020 But I didn't really understand it until I started to see the world, the bigger picture that Donald Trump is doing with tariffs, okay?

00:54:54.520 Because I believe 2024 was our last call.

00:54:57.580 We were at last call.

00:54:59.080 You either have to change your ways, or you're going to die as a nation, okay?

00:55:03.780 Structurally, we have to change.

00:55:06.440 The era of effortlessness American dominance is over, okay?

00:55:12.680 Unless we rebuild, unless we retool, unless we think out of the box, unless we start new strategies, unless we start saying, wait a minute, this doesn't work.

00:55:22.280 What about we try this, okay?

00:55:26.060 The lights will slowly and then quickly go out.

00:55:31.300 I've had very long conversations with the president about tariffs.

00:55:34.780 He has been remarkable in his conversations, only because he's been honest.

00:55:40.240 He listened to me go on and on and on, and he'd be like, well, Glenn, I've already thought of all those things.

00:55:43.760 I think you're wrong.

00:55:44.720 I'm going to do tariffs.

00:55:45.620 It's been refreshing to have a guy who will listen to you, actually take you seriously, listen, and then say, thought about that, thought about that, thought about that.

00:55:53.480 You haven't changed my mind, okay?

00:55:56.100 But I didn't understand his vision.

00:56:01.940 And I believe because he has the vision to see the world economically as it truly is, but also the vision to see economically, business-wise, how it can be.

00:56:17.720 He understood tariffs are not just punishment and higher prices, okay?

00:56:23.580 You use tariffs strategically as leverage, as negotiation, tariffs as industrial policy without the bureaucracy, tariffs used strategically, not universally, tariffs used as a tool to bring trading partners to the table, tariffs being used to build domestic capacity.

00:56:45.000 When he keeps saying about these $18 trillion, everybody just, they blow it off like it's no big deal.

00:56:50.960 That's $18 trillion.

00:56:54.520 That's just about half of our entire national debt.

00:56:59.340 That $18 trillion is not being given to us.

00:57:02.780 That's foreign countries saying, I'm going to invest and build factories in your country, and I'm going to build about $18 trillion worth of factories.

00:57:14.080 What does that mean?

00:57:15.920 That means jobs, $18 trillion worth of factories.

00:57:22.120 Let's say half of that is true.

00:57:26.500 That's pretty remarkable.

00:57:28.520 You know what that will do?

00:57:29.540 That will rebuild our industrial base, which we hollowed out because we didn't have tariffs.

00:57:35.860 I'd never seen them deployed in the way he's deploying them.

00:57:40.400 You know, I didn't understand the full history of it.

00:57:44.080 The founders did.

00:57:45.260 The founders did.

00:57:46.140 Lincoln did.

00:57:47.080 Early Republicans did.

00:57:49.700 I think we as a nation understood the other side in the 1940s and 50s, how they could be strategically removed and work to our advantage, but for a limited time.

00:58:01.140 Instead, we married into them and said, universal principle.

00:58:04.400 It's not.

00:58:05.400 It's not.

00:58:06.080 Tariffs are not isolationism.

00:58:11.720 Tariffs.

00:58:12.400 Now, listen to this, because, man, when I thought of this, I thought, oh, my gosh, I've always hated two words.

00:58:18.780 Nation building.

00:58:20.640 We're nation building.

00:58:22.260 Oh, my gosh.

00:58:22.980 My eyes start to hemorrhage when I hear nation building.

00:58:29.560 Right?

00:58:32.260 Well, let me give you another view on nation building in 60 seconds.

00:58:37.580 First, our sponsor this half hour is Rough Greens.

00:58:42.860 You know, we schedule the vet visits.

00:58:44.340 We book the grooming appointments.

00:58:46.000 Some people even hire trainers for their dogs.

00:58:48.640 We research collars and leashes and beds and crates and all of it.

00:58:53.000 But the one thing that goes into a bowl every single day is the same thing.

00:58:56.380 It never gets a second thought.

00:58:57.640 And even if even if it does get a second thought, you just get another bag, a better, more expensive, marked healthy bag of kibble.

00:59:08.480 OK, kibble is cooked at such high temperatures required by law to make it shelf safe, stable for two years.

00:59:15.080 That means there's nothing alive in it anymore.

00:59:17.120 All the nutrients and everything that actually your dog needs every day is all just flame throwed out of this.

00:59:24.500 OK, you need something really good.

00:59:28.540 You don't need to change your dog food.

00:59:29.920 You just need to put the nutritional supplements back into your dog's food.

00:59:33.640 You can call 214-ROUGH-DOG, 214-R-U-F-F-DOG, or you can go to roughgreens.com and use the promo code BECK.

00:59:43.820 You just try it.

00:59:44.360 Make sure your dog likes it.

00:59:45.420 You'll start to see.

00:59:46.960 Honestly, I saw it within the first week.

00:59:48.900 I saw a difference in UNO.

01:00:12.600 The American Story, The Beginnings, is an immersive audio series on the founding of America,

01:00:18.780 exclusively for Torch members at glennbeck.com.

01:00:23.180 That American Story, based on the book by David and Tim Barton, is so good.

01:00:28.500 Five episodes are out now for Torch members.

01:00:30.860 I'm cutting the next ten, but the next five are coming out very soon for Torch members,

01:00:37.220 and then it'll be available everywhere.

01:00:38.320 But it's a 20-episode story about how America was founded, and it's so well done.

01:00:43.840 It's really, really good.

01:00:45.260 Mainly, I can say that because I had very little to do with it.

01:00:47.580 I just read it.

01:00:48.420 Everybody else produced it, and it's really, really good.

01:00:51.760 Get it at glennbeck.com slash Torch.

01:00:53.740 Join us now.

01:00:54.740 All right.

01:00:55.020 Nation building.

01:00:55.700 I've always hated that.

01:00:57.660 You know why?

01:00:59.040 Because those two words always meant we were building someone else's nation at our expense.

01:01:05.120 How many times have you or heard people say, on the left and the right,

01:01:09.300 why are we nation building?

01:01:10.980 Our schools are failing.

01:01:12.200 Our factories are closing.

01:01:13.380 Our streets, our airports are falling apart.

01:01:15.320 Why are we building somebody else's nation? 0.89

01:01:17.140 Let's use the money here.

01:01:18.180 To everything, there is a season.

01:01:24.640 We were nation building.

01:01:26.960 That's what we were doing in the 1940s through the 1960s.

01:01:30.280 We were building other nations that had been completely destroyed.

01:01:34.300 So we allowed them to put tariffs.

01:01:38.020 We bought their goods.

01:01:40.000 They did it.

01:01:40.700 We were just open.

01:01:41.800 We sold them our stuff.

01:01:42.840 It was good for us and good for them for a while.

01:01:45.540 But to everything, there is a season.

01:01:48.460 After a while, they caught up.

01:01:50.620 They rebuilt their nations.

01:01:53.060 And we helped them do that.

01:01:54.240 But then we just kept this in place.

01:01:56.260 And by the time we hit the year 2000, China is rising.

01:01:59.820 Russia is weaponizing energy. 0.60

01:02:02.240 Our factories, our treasuries, our institutions, all hollowed out.

01:02:08.060 No tariffs.

01:02:10.060 Not noble at some point.

01:02:12.800 They become negligent.

01:02:14.320 So this is why I'm reversing myself.

01:02:17.960 Not because I have been in free market.

01:02:19.540 I believe in the free market.

01:02:21.080 But I think I've misunderstood the free market and to everything there is a season.

01:02:26.520 Okay?

01:02:27.200 A true free market cannot exist if your industrial base is gone.

01:02:33.060 And what no tariffs did to us, we did it intentionally, was nation-build someone else at our expense.

01:02:43.340 After a while, it hollowed us out.

01:02:46.420 Okay?

01:02:47.000 You cannot have a free market if supply chains are controlled by China adversaries. 0.92

01:02:52.780 A free market doesn't exist if your middle class has been hollowed out all in the name of theoretical efficiency.

01:03:00.740 Tariffs, properly understood, properly used, are not anti-market.

01:03:06.020 They are a defensive tool to restore market sovereignty and to rebuild our nation.

01:03:13.400 Now, when these tariffs are nation-building, our nation, you know, and I bought the inflation argument as the strongest valid point.

01:03:23.660 Tariffs raise prices.

01:03:24.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they can.

01:03:29.820 And if you let them stand with high income tax alongside the tariffs, you've got the worst of all worlds.

01:03:39.000 So here's where I want to go further.

01:03:41.780 Tariffs and income tax cannot coexist.

01:03:46.800 Okay?

01:03:47.720 They cannot coexist.

01:03:50.780 Donald Trump talked about this.

01:03:52.400 This is what got me thinking on this part.

01:03:53.820 This is what finally pushed me over the edge.

01:03:55.560 He started to talk about getting rid of the income tax.

01:03:58.080 And I was thinking, okay, let's just play this out here for a second.

01:04:03.860 So let me take you there.

01:04:05.260 As I admit, on tariffs, I've been wrong.

01:04:10.060 I'm reversing myself.

01:04:11.840 I am for tariffs. 0.99

01:04:13.000 Let me finish making the case, and we'll take some of your questions as well.

01:04:15.960 Next.

01:04:23.820 Let me tell you about pre-born.

01:04:30.760 We've been arguing about abortion in this country for, well, I mean, the founders wrote about it.

01:04:35.980 Check with George AI.

01:04:38.080 I mean, the writings are there.

01:04:40.420 They talked about abortion.

01:04:42.380 Okay?

01:04:42.480 Then we give the talking points back and forth, and all that noise is happening.

01:04:47.500 But something else has been advancing during this time, and that is technology.

01:04:51.800 Today, ultrasound imaging allows a mom to see the baby in the womb, to hear a heartbeat, to watch movement, to see that this is not an abstract idea or political slogan.

01:05:01.420 It is a child.

01:05:03.020 And that moment changes things nine out of ten times.

01:05:07.020 Studies have shown that when an expecting mom is considering an abortion, she sees the ultrasound.

01:05:12.040 A significant number of them choose life, and that's what pre-born is all about.

01:05:16.900 They partner with clinics all across the country to provide free ultrasounds to women who feel like they don't have any other option, and they just don't even want to.

01:05:25.580 It's not even really a baby.

01:05:27.000 That's what they've been told.

01:05:28.460 Forget about winning the argument.

01:05:29.580 Let's save babies. 0.96

01:05:30.340 Let's save lives of moms. 1.00

01:05:32.460 I want you to go to preborn.com or dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, and donate.

01:05:39.360 $25 pays for an ultrasound.

01:05:42.500 Keyword baby at pound 250.

01:05:45.780 Get Glenn's best conversations with high-profile guests like Dennis Prager early by joining glennbeck.com slash torch.

01:06:02.460 Okay, let me make the case.

01:06:11.340 I just reversed myself on tariffs, and I'm shocked.

01:06:16.060 I mean, I talked to the president about this a couple years ago, and he said, I'm going to convince you of tariffs.

01:06:20.160 And I'm like, no, you're not.

01:06:21.000 And he's like, Glenn, I think you're going to be a fan.

01:06:23.980 I said, well, it'll be interesting to see, but I do not think so.

01:06:27.960 And it's not conversations with him.

01:06:30.220 It's watching what's happening.

01:06:33.020 And the tipping point for me yesterday was what I talked about in the first hour with India.

01:06:37.780 What Donald Trump is building is a new American century.

01:06:45.600 He is nation-building, except it is our nation.

01:06:49.900 And these $18 trillion, people don't understand when he says, I got $18 trillion worth of investment.

01:06:56.800 Let's just say he only got $10 trillion.

01:06:59.340 Do you know how much money $10 trillion is?

01:07:01.420 And it's coming from other countries that are saying, we're going to build factories here in America, okay?

01:07:09.080 That means more jobs here in America.

01:07:12.420 That means you have cheaper goods because tariffs won't apply if it's made here in America.

01:07:19.620 But see, the problem with tariffs and the income tax, that you cannot have both of them.

01:07:25.520 You can't, especially high income tax.

01:07:27.720 You can't have tariffs and income tax.

01:07:30.460 They can never coexist.

01:07:32.060 Because if tariffs become a meaningful revenue source again, if we use them strategically,

01:07:37.320 then it should be our goal to reduce and ultimately eliminate the federal income tax the way it was before Woodrow Wilson.

01:07:46.500 Because critics say tariffs raise prices.

01:07:49.380 Fine, I'll give you that, okay?

01:07:51.540 Then let Americans keep their entire paycheck.

01:07:54.840 Why, what they pay in taxes will clearly pay for any price increase in the short term.

01:08:02.840 But remember, you're using that money to nation build.

01:08:07.380 Two words I hate.

01:08:08.760 Not this time because it means we're building our nation.

01:08:12.240 We're rebuilding our industrial base, which means more jobs, and you're going to have more products made here in America.

01:08:21.340 What doesn't receive a tariff?

01:08:24.040 Things made here in America. 0.99

01:08:26.060 So over time, you can avoid all of the stuff or most of the stuff that's coming from other countries because you're making it here. 0.99

01:08:33.600 And once we've rebuilt, you can bring those tariffs down into line.

01:08:40.440 If a product costs more because it's made here, that's a problem.

01:08:49.760 But it is also supporting American workers, American factories, and American resilience.

01:08:56.020 We didn't have that problem.

01:08:57.980 We have the problem they're more expensive to make here because nobody's making anything here.

01:09:02.720 If it's costing people more because it's made overseas, then make sure the citizens have their income tax relief to absorb the cost and then some.

01:09:13.080 You don't tax labor and tax imports at the same time.

01:09:17.700 You have to choose.

01:09:18.820 The president talked about this in the State of the Union, and everybody was like, wait, wait, wait.

01:09:23.700 Is he talking about getting rid of income tax?

01:09:25.020 Yes, because of tariffs.

01:09:26.720 The 16th Amendment shifted the burden from foreign goods to domestic labor.

01:09:32.060 It took it from foreign and said, you, the men who devised the income tax, were progressives that were looking to do nothing more than grow power for the government themselves and keep people like you and me in our place.

01:09:48.820 Both tariffs and high taxes will do just that.

01:09:53.960 You have to choose in 2026 with a 30 plus trillion dollar debt, a hollowed out industry, strategic competition rising everywhere.

01:10:08.060 It's madness to not change the game.

01:10:12.340 The thing Donald Trump knows we have to do is we must rebuild.

01:10:16.440 We must retool.

01:10:18.400 But we have to onshore some of the money that we just so happily gave away as we were building everybody else's nation.

01:10:26.340 That money's got to come back here.

01:10:29.440 We have to first think like a civilization that intends to right the next century, not reminisce about what it was like in the old days.

01:10:37.740 I love the founders.

01:10:39.840 I love our history.

01:10:40.980 But I want to think about the future for our kids.

01:10:44.120 And the world is being reshaped right now, whether you like it or not.

01:10:48.460 It's going one way or another.

01:10:50.320 Alliances are shifting.

01:10:51.880 Supply chains are moving.

01:10:53.500 Energy dominance is returning.

01:10:55.780 Maritime enforcement is tightening.

01:10:58.620 Nations are choosing sides right now.

01:11:01.780 And so few people actually see this.

01:11:04.060 But I do, and I had blocked some of my vision because I think I was holding on to a true but not timely understanding.

01:11:17.820 Tariffs are not a principle.

01:11:20.520 They're tools.

01:11:22.880 And if you allow the tool to control you and dictate all of your decisions, it's not a tool anymore.

01:11:30.680 It's a chain.

01:11:31.560 Tariffs are tools.

01:11:35.360 And I'm all in for using the tools that will help rebuild America and empower you.

01:11:45.920 I'm 100% behind tariffs now as, listen carefully, as understood and used strategically to restore American industrial strength.

01:11:58.440 My concern on tariffs is the reason why this is all working is because Donald Trump has this huge vision.

01:12:06.300 He is a businessman.

01:12:07.700 He knows how international business works.

01:12:10.720 And he's speaking the language of business.

01:12:13.560 You get some clown in here again, they'll raise the taxes, they'll raise the tariffs, they'll use them only as weapons. 0.91

01:12:23.660 That's not what it is.

01:12:26.580 These are not, they should never be permanent walls.

01:12:30.100 They're used as leverage, as scaffolding, and as a tool that buys us time to rebuild our own house.

01:12:37.660 We have tried global utopianism.

01:12:40.380 We've tried managed decline.

01:12:43.020 We've tried pretending, you know, economics is divorced from power.

01:12:48.320 That's all over.

01:12:49.940 It's all over.

01:12:52.300 All over.

01:12:53.340 The era of managed decline is over.

01:12:56.680 If you want the American century to continue, not in arrogance, but in stewardship, mainly to our own people first, then you have to do what previous generations did when the moment demanded it.

01:13:12.400 You adapt.

01:13:13.860 You correct.

01:13:15.080 You admit you're wrong.

01:13:16.740 You look at things differently.

01:13:18.700 You rebuild.

01:13:19.620 And that all begins with saying, I was wrong.

01:13:25.160 Now let's go to work and fix it.

01:13:30.300 So, trying to think of the questions and looking at some of the questions that have come in, let me answer just a couple of things.

01:13:46.460 If tariffs are leverage, what stops them from sliding into isolationism that hurts U.S. exporters and key allies?

01:13:58.180 Somebody who understands this is a tool, not just a weapon.

01:14:05.060 If you understand, you know, why wouldn't, why hasn't the world blown itself up?

01:14:12.440 We have all the missiles.

01:14:13.340 We could blow the world up like six times over.

01:14:15.760 Why hasn't it?

01:14:16.860 Because we understand that very dangerous weapon is first a tool.

01:14:22.760 And if you treat it as a tool and not always as a weapon, you can hold the balance.

01:14:31.180 But that requires, I'm very nervous about when Donald Trump leaves.

01:14:34.440 I am.

01:14:35.140 I am.

01:14:35.500 But we are in a place now where we absolutely have to rebuild our nation.

01:14:48.500 And the world, honestly, the world is counting on us.

01:14:52.260 Who else is doing it?

01:14:53.400 Who else is rebuilding the West?

01:14:56.600 Name another powerhouse that is doing it.

01:14:59.240 China's not. 0.90

01:15:00.300 Russia's not. 0.73

01:15:01.260 Europe's not.

01:15:02.040 What country is leading the whole world that the world can follow and say, yeah, we're going to try something different.

01:15:11.460 We're going to do an American experiment again. 0.97

01:15:13.440 We're going to try actual freedom and we're going to rebuild the nation states.

01:15:18.260 Because tariffs, I think, have just been a Trojan horse for globalism.

01:15:24.220 The lack of tariffs.

01:15:26.200 This free trade, which I believe in free trade, but it's utopian in many ways.

01:15:35.520 It has to be free on all sides.

01:15:37.780 It's what we should all be shooting for.

01:15:40.240 But we also have to recognize the world we're living in.

01:15:45.240 There is nobody that's going to rebuild this world.

01:15:47.880 And this is why, next, I have to talk to you about the start of the Save America Act.

01:15:54.520 John Thune is going to be a problem.

01:15:57.400 John Thune is a problem.

01:15:59.960 He is going to undo everything that good senators are trying to do in the Save America, that Donald Trump is trying to do on the Save America Act.

01:16:08.560 And he's doing it because, quite honestly, he's lazy.

01:16:14.260 Either that or he's part of it.

01:16:16.280 He'll stand and clap, but he's part of the other side that was sitting on their hands the whole time two nights ago.

01:16:21.520 Because there's no reason you don't.

01:16:24.520 I mean, honestly, let's make sure everyone has ID to vote.

01:16:28.700 It's 80, what is it, 81% or 85% across the board in America, okay?

01:16:36.260 It's like 80% approval.

01:16:38.560 That's when somebody says, well, I don't know.

01:16:41.800 That's when Donald Trump in the speech would have looked at them and said, what the hell is wrong with you?

01:16:47.160 How can you not be for that?

01:16:48.560 Did you just hear everybody else?

01:16:49.960 This is common sense.

01:16:50.980 Everybody is saying this.

01:16:52.540 What's wrong with you?

01:16:53.380 I have to ask that of John Thune.

01:16:55.260 What is wrong with you?

01:16:56.200 What is it you think you know that we don't know?

01:16:59.460 What's more important than making sure that we have a secure vote?

01:17:05.880 What is it?

01:17:06.720 Explain yourself.

01:17:07.600 Make the case.

01:17:09.180 But the case they're making is, well, this changes the filibuster.

01:17:13.400 No.

01:17:14.080 The Democrats changed the filibuster.

01:17:16.180 This is going back to the original.

01:17:18.100 Did you ever see Jimmy Stewart goes to, you know, Mr. Smith goes to Washington with Jimmy Stewart?

01:17:21.860 That's what they're talking about doing.

01:17:24.980 Make them stand up.

01:17:26.820 Look at what happened when Donald Trump said, stand, if you agree with this.

01:17:33.060 Stand.

01:17:34.440 What happened?

01:17:35.220 America saw the Democrats in a completely different way.

01:17:41.460 Why would we not use that exact theory right now?

01:17:50.060 If you disagree with this, Democrats, then stand and explain it to people.

01:17:59.020 Explain it.

01:18:00.300 Take all the time you want.

01:18:02.020 You need a month?

01:18:03.000 Take a month.

01:18:03.720 They won't last a month.

01:18:05.780 They will not last a month.

01:18:08.360 They won't last two weeks because people will see what happened at the State of the Union.

01:18:14.820 Then America will be forced to see, oh, my gosh, what are they defending?

01:18:25.940 We must win the election.

01:18:29.240 And if we're wrong and we, you know, start betraying our values and everything else and we can't sell it to the American people, then we deserve not to win.

01:18:38.360 All I want is a fair vote.

01:18:40.700 All I want is for everyone's vote to count that should be counted.

01:18:46.080 If you're here illegally, if you're dead, whatever it is, if you are living, breathing, you're an American citizen and you have proper ID, vote.

01:18:56.860 I want you to vote.

01:18:58.000 And if we lose, I'm fine with losing fairly.

01:19:01.780 But not this.

01:19:04.080 John Thune.

01:19:07.760 Why are you sitting down on this?

01:19:10.700 I can't believe you're sitting down on this.

01:19:14.960 Why aren't you standing up for this?

01:19:16.780 Why won't you force them to make the case?

01:19:19.480 Why won't you take the biggest moment of the State of the Union, something I've never seen before, the most effective tool I've ever seen.

01:19:28.040 Stand if you agree with this.

01:19:29.580 Why wouldn't you use that same kind of tactic on them with a standing filibuster?

01:19:36.440 Why?

01:19:38.380 Back in a minute.

01:19:39.120 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:19:44.120 Realestateagents I Trust is my company.

01:22:30.420 And what are they saying about this last hour?

01:22:36.980 How out of step am I?

01:22:40.020 No, you're right there, and they're right there with you.

01:22:42.560 They're still trying to recover from...

01:22:44.160 Yeah, they're still trying to recover from the video

01:22:46.360 that I just played of Thune and the dog parade

01:22:49.400 within the halls of the Senate.

01:22:50.660 What the hell?

01:22:52.500 What?

01:22:52.800 I didn't see that.

01:22:53.980 What?

01:22:54.540 You didn't see that?

01:22:56.240 Hang on a second.

01:22:56.900 No.

01:22:57.140 Do we have that?

01:22:57.740 Can we play that real quick?

01:22:59.120 I can play that for mine if you want.

01:23:01.580 Can you see this?

01:23:02.260 Can it go up on the...

01:23:03.740 No.

01:23:05.540 Can't do it?

01:23:06.920 No, I can't do it on this.

01:23:08.120 Ah, so, yeah.

01:23:09.240 We've got two different networks.

01:23:10.560 We actually have three networks running at the same time,

01:23:12.840 and it's hard to bring them all together.

01:23:13.820 So, while they're talking about not having the time

01:23:16.680 to get everybody on board for the talking filibuster,

01:23:21.680 they're doing a dog parade within the Senate office building.

01:23:26.560 You've got to be absolutely kidding me.

01:23:29.220 Parade.

01:23:29.640 What the hell?

01:23:31.980 What the hell are the dog parades?

01:23:33.660 Is that just to piss off Muslims?

01:23:35.600 Is that what that is?

01:23:37.120 Is that like, oh, yeah, Elon?

01:23:39.580 Here's the dog parade, huh?

01:23:41.280 How do you like that?

01:23:41.980 What the hell are we having a dog parade for?

01:23:45.600 Get to work!

01:23:46.660 The break is on!

01:23:47.820 Sparkle flame.

01:24:10.760 Pass it on.

01:24:13.380 Crank the game.

01:24:15.700 Let back us on.

01:24:17.240 Glenn Beck is on.

01:24:20.220 Na-na-na-na-na-na.

01:24:22.660 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:24:25.180 Na-na-na-na-na-na.

01:24:29.420 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

01:24:36.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:40.620 Glenn Beck is on.

01:24:42.020 Wow, we have talked about so much today.

01:24:48.880 We have touched on Bill Gates and Epstein.

01:24:54.520 Oh, man, that is...

01:24:56.500 There is...

01:24:57.540 It's just going to be raining blood in Seattle for a while, I think.

01:25:02.340 This thing is going to turn into something big.

01:25:04.160 I could be wrong, but I think that's going to turn into something big.

01:25:08.140 Also, Cuba, what's happening in Cuba,

01:25:10.520 that is just because the world is starting to see that the world is destabilizing.

01:25:15.720 And Cuba's up for grabs.

01:25:18.920 I'm telling you, Cuba will be free.

01:25:20.760 By the time this president is out, Cuba will be free.

01:25:24.380 We've talked about fraud with Medicaid.

01:25:29.060 Pennsylvania going from $5 million in Medicaid,

01:25:33.940 four years later, it's $583 million in Medicaid.

01:25:38.720 Why the big increase?

01:25:40.700 What happened there?

01:25:41.960 What happened there?

01:25:43.420 I'm telling you, the president said in the State of the Union,

01:25:46.120 I think we can get rid of our deficit, not our debt,

01:25:51.020 our deficit and balance the budget just by taking on fraud.

01:25:55.620 And he's going to.

01:25:57.020 He's going to.

01:25:57.580 And that's why they cannot allow the Save America Act to pass.

01:26:03.380 They can't allow it because they've got to get power back to stop this kind of investigation.

01:26:09.180 I'm telling you, we are going to find that over the years,

01:26:12.660 trillions have been stolen from the American people and American treasury,

01:26:17.780 which brings me back in 2009.

01:26:19.640 I said, you watch this era.

01:26:22.300 At some point, we're going to look back and it'll all be exposed.

01:26:26.040 And you will see that the biggest robbery in all of human history is happening on our treasury right now.

01:26:34.580 Mark my words.

01:26:35.620 Mark my words.

01:26:36.240 We are about to find if if we can keep the Republicans in and the Republic,

01:26:42.500 no, and the administration, not the Congress and the administration actually follows this trail of breadcrumbs.

01:26:51.540 You're going to see a lot of jail time for a lot of people and good because you want to fix our country.

01:26:58.500 We've got to fix that.

01:27:00.600 We have so much to talk about still.

01:27:02.360 I want to talk a little bit about AI.

01:27:03.920 Some disturbing things happened yesterday.

01:27:05.300 We'll get to that in just a second.

01:27:06.660 First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

01:27:09.100 You know, you hold a secret superpower and I don't think most people even realize it.

01:27:14.340 You can make companies earn your business every month.

01:27:18.320 You know, you pay for things you don't think about much.

01:27:20.620 Streaming services, utilities, your cell phone.

01:27:22.800 It's automatic.

01:27:23.500 It's routine.

01:27:24.600 It just happens, right?

01:27:25.900 Most people don't even stop to consider that the money doesn't just pay for the service.

01:27:30.000 What is that company doing with their profits?

01:27:32.140 Are they supporting things that are against my values?

01:27:34.600 Yeah, some big mobile carriers have been very, very clear about what they support and it's

01:27:40.400 not lining up with you if I know you at all.

01:27:42.860 The good news is you don't have to sacrifice coverage or pay more to do something about it.

01:27:47.680 Patriot Mobile offers reliable nationwide service on the same major networks, competitive pricing,

01:27:53.340 and customer support based right here in the U.S.

01:27:55.620 But here's the difference.

01:27:56.740 They support causes that defend faith, family, and freedom in the Constitution.

01:28:00.200 You may not wear a cape.

01:28:02.720 You may not feel very powerful.

01:28:04.620 But you can decide who gets your business, who gets your money.

01:28:19.900 Let me take Jim.

01:28:27.140 He's on our Insider VIP line in Missouri.

01:28:30.120 Hello, Jim.

01:28:30.920 Welcome.

01:28:33.020 Thanks.

01:28:34.240 It's a pleasure to actually be able to talk to you.

01:28:37.300 I've followed you since 2007 and have been a huge fan.

01:28:42.300 Thank you very much, Jim.

01:28:43.620 And thank you for your support.

01:28:44.700 Why did you join the Insider?

01:28:46.380 Why did you join the Torch?

01:28:47.580 Well, partially because I wanted to get access and hear what your George AI was doing.

01:28:57.020 I wanted to be able to have access to you and kind of help frame the – help you build what you're building.

01:29:05.400 I just –

01:29:05.740 Thank you.

01:29:06.180 I love you.

01:29:07.620 Absolutely.

01:29:08.580 Well, thank you, Jim.

01:29:09.880 Wow, thank you, Jim.

01:29:10.660 I appreciate it.

01:29:11.580 Okay, so you didn't call to tell me that.

01:29:14.060 We're past Valentine's Day.

01:29:15.300 What did you call for?

01:29:17.580 No, so I'm calling because some time ago, what got me into politics was actually – or interested in politics was economics.

01:29:28.760 And one of the things that –

01:29:31.020 Was what? Economics?

01:29:31.580 It's been personal to me.

01:29:33.160 Yes, economics.

01:29:34.200 Sorry.

01:29:34.660 Okay.

01:29:35.440 All right.

01:29:35.640 But I was studying the economics, and someone who's personal to me is Reed Smoot, and so I wanted to understand where – why Reed Smoot did what he did.

01:29:52.860 And because the narrative was always he caused the Great Depression.

01:29:57.240 And he made it bigger.

01:29:59.560 And so I came across a book.

01:30:01.260 It's called, I think, Making Sense of Smoot Hawley.

01:30:04.340 It's by an author up in Quebec, of all places.

01:30:07.220 But he basically talks about how what Reed Smoot was going after was the technology of the time and combating that, how the Industrial Revolution was coming online.

01:30:23.520 It was displacing workers. 0.88

01:30:24.780 And so his goal was to actually combat that underemployment, or I forget the exact term.

01:30:33.600 I don't think it was underemployment, but the – and that's what he was trying to do.

01:30:38.680 Help displaced workers.

01:30:39.820 Making sense.

01:30:40.680 Okay.

01:30:41.420 Huh?

01:30:42.320 Yeah.

01:30:42.920 Helping displaced workers.

01:30:43.880 Helping displaced workers.

01:30:44.200 Got it.

01:30:45.000 Yep.

01:30:46.140 Yep.

01:30:47.040 And so that's what Smoot Hawley was – at least what Reed Smoot, he was after when he started.

01:30:53.220 Now, there's a lot more I could go into on Reed Smoot.

01:30:56.780 You and I, I don't know if you're aware of who he was relative to you, but it's an interesting thing.

01:31:04.960 His papers are in Provo and reading.

01:31:06.900 So I have looked – I have looked into Smoot Hawley and all of this.

01:31:11.300 So what is your tieback to today?

01:31:14.140 Well, my tieback to today is that – so with AI and other things happening in the world, around the world, we are experiencing just exactly what you were saying in the previous hour, that we're experiencing a displacement because of technology.

01:31:32.760 And so really, that's the important thing about looking now today is that we are experiencing new things which are upsetting and displacing the market.

01:31:45.340 And so tariffs are actually kind of a necessary thing.

01:31:48.700 They're a necessary evil in some ways, but in other ways, they're important to the American concept, the American principle.

01:31:56.780 I mean, the founders, like you said, that's how they intended to fund the government.

01:32:04.280 So, Jim, I appreciate your phone call.

01:32:06.060 Thank you so much for, A, being a member of Torch and helping us build this, but also for calling in.

01:32:11.880 Really good comments.

01:32:12.800 What Jim is saying here is really important, and I want to play something that Elon Musk just said on some podcast just a couple of days ago that is shocking, shocking.

01:32:29.220 I want you to listen to this.

01:32:30.260 Let me take you through it.

01:32:31.080 Yeah, well, one side recommendation I have is like, don't worry about like squirreling money away for retirement in like 10 or 20 years.

01:32:42.940 It won't matter.

01:32:43.880 No.

01:32:46.180 Okay.

01:32:46.980 Either we're not going to be here or.

01:32:49.360 It just like.

01:32:52.500 Stop, stop, stop.

01:32:53.900 Only Elon Musk can just say something like that and then just move on.

01:32:58.600 Yeah, don't say for retirement.

01:33:00.160 You know, it's not going to matter.

01:33:02.080 Okay.

01:33:02.920 Okay.

01:33:03.420 Now listen to the rest.

01:33:04.480 Go ahead.

01:33:06.140 To save for retirement.

01:33:07.840 If any of the things that we've said are true, saving for retirement will be irrelevant.

01:33:12.680 The services, the services will be there to support you.

01:33:15.620 You'll have the home.

01:33:17.500 You'll have the health care.

01:33:19.500 You'll have the entertainment.

01:33:21.060 The way this unfolds is fundamentally impossible to predict because of self-improvement of the AI and the accelerating timeline.

01:33:28.040 Yeah, it's called singularity for a reason.

01:33:29.460 Yeah, exactly.

01:33:30.180 I don't know what goes, what happens after the event horizon.

01:33:34.080 Exactly.

01:33:34.580 You can never see past the black hole or the event horizon, the light cone.

01:33:38.240 I mean, Ray has a singularity out way too far.

01:33:41.040 I mean, this is like the next, what?

01:33:43.680 What's your timeline for this?

01:33:46.020 We're in the singularity.

01:33:46.900 Well, we are in the singularity for sure.

01:33:48.400 We're in the midst of it right now for sure.

01:33:50.280 And then we just feel square.

01:33:50.680 Well, we're in this beautiful sweet spot, which is, you know, the roller coasters.

01:33:54.880 We're just, yeah, exactly.

01:33:56.440 That's a great analogy.

01:33:57.680 It's like that feeling.

01:33:58.440 You're at the top of the roller coaster and you're about to go.

01:34:00.260 Yeah, but you know, it's going to be a lot of Gs when you hit it.

01:34:03.640 It's like people like, I don't have to just have courtside seats.

01:34:07.400 I'm on the court.

01:34:08.340 Exactly.

01:34:09.100 And it blows my, and still blows my mind sometimes multiple times a week.

01:34:13.920 Yeah.

01:34:14.900 And so just when I think I'm like, wow.

01:34:19.720 And then it's like two days later, more wow.

01:34:23.100 Yeah.

01:34:24.920 Exponential wow.

01:34:26.580 Yeah.

01:34:26.900 I think we'll hit, um, AGI next year in 27.

01:34:32.900 You got that?

01:34:33.980 I mean, you hear that?

01:34:37.000 I think we're going to hit AGI next year in 27.

01:34:44.240 AGI is artificial general intelligence.

01:34:47.300 That means the computer, the AI system is smarter at everything than any human is.

01:34:58.840 It is better at name the topic than the best human you can find.

01:35:03.780 And it can do everything that a human can do better than a human.

01:35:08.320 It's not super intelligence.

01:35:09.800 It's just better than humans on everything.

01:35:14.000 He thinks we're going to hit that.

01:35:15.700 Some people said we were not going to even, there was not a chance 10 years ago.

01:35:19.140 People say we never even get to there.

01:35:20.540 We'll never get there.

01:35:21.340 We'll never get there.

01:35:22.320 He's saying we're going to hit it next year.

01:35:23.920 I believe we are going to hit it.

01:35:25.260 I think, I think there's a chance we hit, uh, the world is going to be different by 2028.

01:35:30.200 It's just going to be different by 2028.

01:35:33.140 And we, we have got to prepare for this.

01:35:37.140 So our last caller was saying, you know, well, you know, smooth Holly, you know, you can use

01:35:42.880 tariffs to protect, there is a conversation that we have to have right now.

01:35:49.740 We have to have because of artificial intelligence, automation, robotics, you know, entire categories

01:35:57.140 of work dissolving quickly, you know, not in a generation, maybe not even in a decade,

01:36:04.660 maybe in the next few years, factory workers first, you know, I, I reached out to Elon Musk

01:36:11.680 and said for my museum, I want one of the first Tesla robots for the museum.

01:36:16.520 I want to keep it in the box and keep it in the museum.

01:36:18.660 The first mainstream robot, you know what he said, all of the robots for the first, I think

01:36:26.520 he said two years.

01:36:27.440 He may have said one, all of the robots that Tesla will be making for the first two years

01:36:31.600 will be for Tesla.

01:36:36.320 Think of how many robots he's going to be making in a two-year period.

01:36:41.240 And all of them are going to be for Tesla.

01:36:46.740 That is a workforce army, army.

01:36:51.520 So, and that's coming quickly, really, really fast.

01:36:55.700 So it'll go the factory worker, then the truck driver, then the coder, then the accountant,

01:36:59.620 you know, the analyst who thought they was immune from everything because, you know, I work

01:37:05.460 with ideas.

01:37:06.880 The ground is shifting quickly.

01:37:09.780 So what is it we should talk about?

01:37:14.980 Well, the world is going to talk about universal basic income, and I am dead set against that,

01:37:20.320 but that's the only thing anybody is talking about.

01:37:22.640 I went back and I did my homework last couple of days on Milton Friedman.

01:37:25.660 Milton Friedman was kind of for UBI, but a different kind of UBI, and he may have the

01:37:34.500 answer that is a bridge, at least.

01:37:37.520 And I want to talk to you about that here in a second.

01:37:39.280 First, let me tell you about American financing.

01:37:42.500 NMLS 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

01:37:45.560 APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

01:37:49.360 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

01:37:52.920 High interest debt, it's like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in the bottom.

01:37:57.580 You know, you pour your money in every single month, you're disciplined, you're making

01:38:00.540 payments, you're doing what you're supposed to do, and yet the level never, ever rises

01:38:05.020 because while you're adding water to the top, interest is draining it out from the bottom.

01:38:08.640 Credit cards at 20 plus percent.

01:38:11.740 You're never going to get ahead of that.

01:38:13.640 Loans stacked on loans, payments that, you know, feel productive but barely make a dent.

01:38:18.940 After a while, it's just financially frustrating and it's exhausting.

01:38:23.920 Please call American Financing.

01:38:25.780 They can help.

01:38:26.760 American Financing 800-906-2440.

01:38:29.500 They're a salaried, employee-owned company, which means their mortgage consultants focus

01:38:34.600 on what makes sense for you, not on commissions.

01:38:37.140 And they can look at your current mortgage and see whether consolidating high interest debt

01:38:40.520 to a lower rate, you know, a home loan could reduce your monthly payments and help

01:38:45.280 you keep more, the average person that does business from this audience that goes to

01:38:50.360 AmericanFinancing.net, they save an average of about $800 a month, $830 is the actual average.

01:38:57.140 800-906-2440, that's a lot of money at the end of the year.

01:39:01.060 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

01:39:25.480 So when the world is in a panic, that's not the time to discuss things.

01:39:29.580 You discuss things before you're in a panic.

01:39:31.860 You make decisions before there's an emergency.

01:39:34.100 And now is that time.

01:39:36.200 Because once there's an emergency, the loudest voice comes in and they have usually the simplest

01:39:41.660 answer and everybody's like, yeah, yeah, go with that.

01:39:43.740 And that answer is going to be universal basic income.

01:39:46.860 That is the modern version of bread and circuses.

01:39:50.400 And make no mistakes.

01:39:51.960 The communists, the social planners, the Davos crowd, they're going to offer it all as,

01:39:58.160 not as a temporary bridge, but as a permanent arrangement with you.

01:40:04.640 A managed society, a population that is pacified, production, centralized, dependency, normalized.

01:40:12.220 They're already talking about it.

01:40:14.760 Read Yuval Harari.

01:40:19.880 Read his work.

01:40:21.420 He is one of the main thinkers on the left and with all of the elites.

01:40:26.480 And he talks about, you know, there's just a useless class of people.

01:40:29.660 We cannot look at it that way.

01:40:31.760 And people are going to go for this, not because they, you know, love collectivism, but because

01:40:37.580 nobody offered them another path.

01:40:40.600 I have been talking about this and trying to get people to talk about this for a while.

01:40:44.800 And there's a guy that we have to revisit.

01:40:46.820 Um, and he's honestly a guy who surprised me that he's in this debate and it's Milton Freeman.

01:40:54.060 It at least surprised me that he's on the side that he's on.

01:40:57.760 I mean, here's the free market economist, the manic being a defender.

01:41:02.660 He's accused of being a defender of the coldest kind of capitalism where they just don't care

01:41:06.520 about babies and children and, and, and food.

01:41:08.820 Uh, he's the godfather of deregulation.

01:41:13.260 He actually support or supported a version of basic income, but not the kind that's being

01:41:20.900 sold today.

01:41:21.540 He calls it the negative income tax.

01:41:25.240 Listen to what he actually proposed.

01:41:26.980 His idea, the negative income tax, uh, works like this.

01:41:31.100 You eliminate the sprawling wet welfare state.

01:41:34.000 Okay.

01:41:34.560 Really important.

01:41:35.240 We do all of these things.

01:41:36.440 Eliminate the welfare state.

01:41:38.040 That's food stamps, housing subsidies, overlapping programs, bureaucracy, replace all of that

01:41:43.620 with a simple income floor that everybody gets.

01:41:47.140 If you earn below a certain threshold, the government will send you supplemental income,

01:41:52.960 but as you earn more, the support will phase out very gradually.

01:41:57.800 That way you're not being punished for working.

01:42:00.080 And that last part is really critical because under the welfare system, if you earn a dollar,

01:42:04.720 you lose a dollar in benefits.

01:42:06.120 And so the rational response is, well, why would I earn a dollar?

01:42:10.100 Cause I'm never going to make enough to really be happy.

01:42:12.460 So why just, I'm just going to be, I'm going to live here.

01:42:14.560 I'll live off the government.

01:42:16.500 Friedman system preserves incentive.

01:42:19.340 Okay.

01:42:19.840 You always gain more by working more.

01:42:24.160 Um, because he knows that you just can't make people comfortable.

01:42:28.440 Comfortable in the lack of work.

01:42:31.880 Okay.

01:42:33.260 And, um, the system that we have now is honestly designed to get people destitute and destroy

01:42:47.260 productivity.

01:42:47.920 This is the opposite.

01:42:49.980 Okay.

01:42:50.640 And I'm shocked that Milton Friedman is thinking this way, but he understood something.

01:42:55.520 Friedman understood something fundamental.

01:42:57.940 Markets require stability.

01:43:00.680 Free societies require order.

01:43:03.600 So when we're talking AI, technological advancement is going to become so severe at some point that

01:43:12.300 AI could create pockets of severe displacement.

01:43:17.640 And with that, you'll either get violent populism, authoritarian redistribution of wealth,

01:43:23.720 or a market compatible safety valve.

01:43:27.420 And that's what his negative income tax was a pressure release without central planning.

01:43:32.220 This is absolutely critical to keep the choice decentralized.

01:43:40.280 The individual, you still get to choose how you spend the money.

01:43:43.820 The federal government doesn't decide on which apartment you can rent, what food you can buy,

01:43:48.300 which training program you have to attend.

01:43:50.100 None of that shrinks shrink down the state.

01:43:54.280 As you create a floor for everybody, this is very different from modern UBI.

01:43:59.860 That's tied to digital IDs, programmable currency, behavioral compliance.

01:44:07.400 I mean, all of that is the new world order and one world government.

01:44:10.740 I mean, but it is coming.

01:44:13.000 If AI eliminates 15 to 25% of current job categories over the next decade,

01:44:18.840 you're going to see sudden income collapse in certain sectors.

01:44:22.600 Huge.

01:44:23.520 Geographic economic deserts.

01:44:26.960 Most importantly, political radicalization.

01:44:29.860 There is a piece.

01:44:32.160 There's only two copies of this book that I have.

01:44:34.740 One is in the National Archives because it was all handwritten and the charts are all made by hand.

01:44:40.440 And it was made for President Roosevelt in World War II.

01:44:46.700 I think it was the election in 1936 or 1938.

01:44:50.860 And it's called Radicalism, Revolution, or Recovery.

01:44:58.400 And they're making the case to FDR that I'm about to make to you in just a second.

01:45:06.680 Radicalism, Revolution, or Recovery.

01:45:10.300 That's what really enhanced the New Deal.

01:45:14.620 They chose incorrectly.

01:45:17.280 Will we choose the right thing?

01:45:20.220 More in a minute.

01:46:42.700 Get this podcast before anyone else by joining today at GlennBeck.com slash Torch.

01:46:57.720 Welcome to the program.

01:46:59.000 You know, instead of explaining Milton Friedman's theory, let me go back to 1968 and play Milton Friedman explaining his version of UBI, a negative income tax.

01:47:12.940 Listen to this.

01:47:14.020 The idea of the negative income tax is to treat people who are poor in the same way as we treat people who are rich.

01:47:20.520 Both groups would have to file income tax returns, and both groups would be treated in a parallel way.

01:47:27.100 Under current law, if you or I file an income tax return, and we have, let's say, I were a family of four, head of a family of four, to take a simple case.

01:47:36.820 In fact, you do.

01:47:37.760 Well, I am, but as it happens, my children are growing up, and they're not very good as, no good to me anymore as income tax deductions.

01:47:45.280 That's one of the troubles with you kids growing up.

01:47:47.420 Your parents lose you as a deduction.

01:47:50.100 And you don't tithe their earnings?

01:47:53.000 No, I'm afraid I don't tithe their earnings, and I'm afraid in the modern day, the parents continue to contribute to the children instead of the other way around.

01:47:59.400 But under, if I were still a family, head of a family of four, I would be entitled to an exemption of $3,000 without paying a tax.

01:48:09.120 That is, if I had an income of $3,000, I would have an exemption of $3,000, I would pay no tax.

01:48:14.440 If I had an income of $4,000, I would have a positive taxable income of $1,000, I would be required to pay a tax on that $1,000.

01:48:23.040 Suppose I have an income of $2,000, then by the same arithmetic, I have a negative taxable income of $1,000, minus $1,000 is my taxable income.

01:48:34.520 The idea of the negative income tax is to apply a tax rate to that minus $1,000 and give a man a subsidy in proportion to it.

01:48:45.320 For example, the highest rate it seems to me at all feasible to use would be 50%, and it makes it simple for arithmetic.

01:48:53.040 Let's suppose a rate worth of 50%.

01:48:55.200 Then if I had an income of $2,000 with a family of four, I would be entitled to receive half of that $1,000 back.

01:49:04.320 That is, I would get back $500 and end up with an income of $2,500 available to me.

01:49:11.480 If I had zero income, if I had no income at all, then I would have a negative taxable income of minus $3,000.

01:49:18.740 I would be entitled to receive half of that, or $1,500.

01:49:23.980 And in this way, this program would say nobody in the country, no family of four in the country,

01:49:30.360 shall have a smaller amount than $1,500 available for it for its purposes of consumption.

01:49:36.860 That would be the negative income tax.

01:49:38.600 Now, the point that I think it's urgent to stress to avoid misunderstanding is that while there's a guaranteed income,

01:49:46.760 a minimum guarantee of $1,500, that income is not equal to the break-even point,

01:49:53.300 the point at which you pay no taxes of $3,000.

01:49:56.960 This difference is essential because there are other proposals which have been made under the name of guaranteed income

01:50:02.840 which would say, let's set a level like $3,000, then if a family has less than that, we'll make up the difference.

01:50:11.640 Now, the trouble with such gap-filling programs, with a program which says if you have less than $3,000,

01:50:17.360 we'll make up the difference, is that you destroy the incentive of people to earn anything.

01:50:21.360 Why should anybody go to work and earn anything?

01:50:23.160 Now, under a 50% rate, you also weaken their incentive.

01:50:26.880 And if you were starting from scratch, you might be adding to the problem, but you're not starting from scratch.

01:50:34.020 Our present welfare programs, our present direct relief, and aid-to-dependent children programs,

01:50:39.600 in effect, have a 100% tax rate.

01:50:41.820 Because if a family on relief, if let's say a woman, as currently is mostly the case under aid-to-dependent children,

01:50:48.960 if a woman who is on relief takes a job and earns $100, and she's honest,

01:50:54.260 she is required to have her relief payment reduced by $100.

01:50:58.580 That's one of the ways in which we've been producing poor people.

01:51:02.760 Yes, but it would be easy enough to modify that system without invoking your revolutionary substitute.

01:51:09.200 I'm going to stop here, because you can get this, you can go on YouTube and see this.

01:51:13.400 It's fascinating what he's talking about.

01:51:15.280 Now, remember, this is like 1968, so $3,000 then is like $30,000 today.

01:51:21.280 So we're not talking about, hey, government's going to give you that.

01:51:24.260 Back then, that was a really livable wage.

01:51:29.520 $3,000 was a livable wage.

01:51:32.400 A car was like $600 or $800.

01:51:35.360 A house was $5,000.

01:51:38.120 You could live off of that.

01:51:41.760 You weren't doing fabulous, but you could live off of that.

01:51:44.920 The point of this is, the structure of everything is going to matter.

01:51:52.660 The incentives matter.

01:51:53.840 I'm not coming to you with a solution.

01:51:55.520 I'm coming to you with a way to start and look at Milton Friedman.

01:51:58.980 I don't necessarily have a solution.

01:52:00.560 I just know that UBI is going to turn into all kinds of really bad things, because you will eventually be completely under control of whoever is giving you this UBI.

01:52:15.120 And there's going to be a lot of people that need a universal basic income.

01:52:18.200 When I said to you a minute ago, I have a book.

01:52:22.420 There's only two.

01:52:23.140 One is in either the National Library of Congress or the National Archives.

01:52:29.400 It was a book that there were 12 copies made, each of them hand-done and hand-colored all these charts and everything.

01:52:35.800 And it was about revolution, radicalism, or recovery and re-election.

01:52:43.620 I think it was radicalism and revolution or recovery and re-election.

01:52:49.520 I think that's actually the title of it.

01:52:51.700 And it made the case to FDR.

01:52:55.480 Look, you've got to do something, because people are so hungry, they don't have jobs, they're losing hope.

01:53:03.180 You have to do something, because there are radicals, Marxist, communists, that want to take over the United States of America.

01:53:12.840 And they will win at the ballot box, because they're going to promise something.

01:53:17.500 So you've got to do something.

01:53:19.420 And the something he did was, you know, was enhancing the New Deal, which, you know, caused all kinds of problems, all kinds of problems.

01:53:30.780 And the reason why we made those mistakes is because we didn't have the conversation before the trouble hit.

01:53:38.740 We didn't see the Great Depression coming.

01:53:41.380 Most didn't.

01:53:42.120 You can see AI.

01:53:44.260 You can see what's coming.

01:53:45.640 It's coming, and it's coming fast.

01:53:47.300 Why are we not having this as a national conversation is beyond me.

01:53:53.680 But you have to start thinking, what is it that I believe in?

01:53:57.800 Because I guarantee you, the loudest voice will be UBI.

01:54:01.700 And when you're in a panic, you'll be like, that one.

01:54:04.060 I want that one.

01:54:05.580 That is going to be a really, really bad mistake, because everything is about to change.

01:54:12.680 Joe in Florida, thanks for calling in.

01:54:15.220 Welcome.

01:54:17.300 Hi, Glenn.

01:54:18.840 It's both an honor and a privilege to speak with you.

01:54:23.420 Pardon me if I stutter.

01:54:25.380 You know, I'm not very good over the phone.

01:54:28.220 That's all right.

01:54:28.680 I would like to be the voice of all of the PC nerds out there and kind of ties into what you were speaking about regarding AI and the impacts of capitalism in our economy.

01:54:50.000 I don't know how much that you've noticed of how rapidly the prices for PC parts, such as not only graphics cards, but RAM and now SSDs, have just tripled and even 5Xed.

01:55:11.000 Well, I mean, one reason, correct me if I'm wrong, you would know, Joe, but correct me if I'm wrong.

01:55:16.160 It's because these big companies are buying up all the graphic cards for the next five years in advance.

01:55:22.580 They're buying everything, so it's almost impossible to get it, correct?

01:55:28.140 Yes, sir.

01:55:28.960 Yeah.

01:55:29.160 Back in November, the latest Gen 5 Samsung 9100 Pro 4-terabyte hard drive.

01:55:40.640 I sound like such a total geek, but I'm sorry.

01:55:44.560 Marriott, you're in geek-ville, so just Marriott.

01:55:48.460 Be the king of the geeks.

01:55:49.760 Go ahead.

01:55:50.220 But anyway, so for the 4-terabyte drive, it was $379 back in November.

01:56:03.980 Now it's going for $850, and the 4-terabyte Western Digital Black was $400.

01:56:14.480 And I've seen it on Best Buy for $2,100, which is just absolutely crazy.

01:56:23.780 Back in 2022 or 2023, when I built my DDR5 gaming PC, I bought 64 gigs of DDR5 RAM for a premium at $230.

01:56:47.960 So let me – go ahead.

01:56:50.820 Go ahead.

01:56:51.100 Finish that thought.

01:56:51.720 Oh, yeah, so that exact same RAM is now going for $950, all because of these AI data centers.

01:57:04.540 And what my main question was, was that perhaps you have some insight as to what's the main goal of all of these data centers?

01:57:17.280 Why are so many companies just piling in all of this money based off of theoretical income that isn't even feasibly possible?

01:57:33.740 Because just like you were saying, if we have 15% of the population out of work, who's going to buy anything?

01:57:44.700 It would be absolutely catastrophic.

01:57:46.960 And capitalism, as we know, would be absolutely almost over.

01:57:52.520 And UBI, well, who's going to pay for it?

01:57:55.580 So, Joe, what a great series of questions.

01:58:02.060 Let me take a couple of them.

01:58:02.980 Let me start with the last.

01:58:03.800 Who's going to pay for UBI?

01:58:05.900 You know who's going to end up paying for UBI?

01:58:07.760 Or all the people that own the data centers?

01:58:09.720 All the people that are going to control the entire planet? 0.74

01:58:13.680 Why are they spending so much money on these data centers?

01:58:17.360 It's not feasible to make the money back.

01:58:18.980 They believe it will be because they will control everything.

01:58:24.280 They will be the point of making and distribution.

01:58:29.380 They will be, they will be, whoever wins this game will be the one that is, imagine right now we have, I don't even know.

01:58:40.900 Let's just say we have 350 million people here and we have, you know, the vast majority is in the middle class to middle, lower class, some middle, upper class.

01:58:53.680 And you have a few up at the top, maybe five, 10% up at the top.

01:58:57.680 What you're going to have is you're going to have five people, you know, or companies up at the very top and they're going to have 90% of the wealth.

01:59:06.540 They're the ones who are going to pay for UBI.

01:59:08.240 Okay.

01:59:08.760 So we don't all, you know, come to their house and burn their houses and their factories down.

01:59:12.800 It's that's why they have to have the United States government and the military with them as well.

01:59:18.000 Cause they're going to need protection because people are going to be wildly pissed when they figure this out.

01:59:23.440 Okay.

01:59:24.720 Um, so that's, who's going to have to pay for UBI are the ones who are making all the money, the taxes.

01:59:31.480 Okay.

01:59:32.540 Um, but they will also with that, because they will be in bed with the federal government.

01:59:37.380 They will have all kinds of control over your life, what you can and cannot do.

01:59:42.980 It's going to, we are entering a time period that no human being has even thought of, let alone the average person.

01:59:51.600 You know, there, there are a few people who are thinking this through deeply, but they don't even know how it's going to shape up.

01:59:58.340 They don't know what, what's coming next.

02:00:00.820 And some of these, the biggest experts believe that we were never going to get to the place we are today.

02:00:06.740 So this is all out.

02:00:10.220 It's all out there.

02:00:11.340 They're spending so much money on these data centers because they all know whoever wins, whoever is in charge.

02:00:19.760 If I can't have compute power, you know, for George AI and for Glenn AI, um, we are spending a buttload of money, uh, on tech right now.

02:00:32.580 Just a buttload of money about, uh, ranges between two and two 50 a month that I'm paying just for tech.

02:00:41.980 Uh, yeah, $250,000 a month.

02:00:44.800 And Ricky looked at me thousand.

02:00:47.180 I'm like, no, 250 bucks.

02:00:49.000 What am I complaining about?

02:00:49.960 Um, $250,000 just for development of tech.

02:00:54.300 That's not the crunching of the numbers.

02:00:57.140 That's not a data center.

02:00:59.040 Okay.

02:01:00.040 Then I have to send that out to a data center to crunch it and to crunch.

02:01:03.720 What AI does is phenomenally expensive.

02:01:09.340 They have to have all of these big data centers.

02:01:12.280 And that's what the critical thing was that Donald Trump said.

02:01:15.900 Do you know that the average in some regions, the average electricity bill has gone up.

02:01:21.720 Let me see if I have 267, according to Bloomberg, 267% since 2020, because of these data centers in some regions, Barron's says overall energy prices since 2020 have gone up 30%.

02:01:37.460 Now we blame some of that on coal.

02:01:40.520 We blame that on oil and the decisions they made for the green new deal.

02:01:43.880 But a lot of that also is because of these data centers.

02:01:47.360 That's why when Donald Trump said, uh, in the state of the union, I have just made it clear.

02:01:53.500 They can build their own nuclear power plant, but they cannot take it from the grid.

02:01:57.840 They can put in, but they cannot take out.

02:02:00.580 That's going to save a lot of people from revolution quickly.

02:02:04.420 We're out of time.

02:02:05.360 I'll go into more of this.

02:02:06.520 Uh, when we have time, we'll go back down into geeksville.

02:02:08.840 Uh, first, let me tell you about our response to this half hour.

02:02:12.080 It's, uh, the international fellowship of Christians and Jews.

02:02:14.580 The Jewish people have outlived empires. 1.00

02:02:16.900 They've seen kingdoms rise and fall.

02:02:19.300 Tyrants come and go borders.

02:02:20.840 We'd redrawn regimes erased from history at through all of it.

02:02:24.880 They've just endured the people that have a story that stretches back thousands of years, but survival in the past doesn't mean there are no threats in the present.

02:02:34.560 Anti-Semitism has not disappeared.

02:02:36.800 I remember saying this and the, uh, ADL coming after me saying, how dare you say it's going to come back to 1939 levels?

02:02:43.540 How you're just causing, am I, am I, or was I pointing out a reality that it's right around the corner and look at where we are right now?

02:02:50.440 Please, if you want to stand against, um, uh, the, the inevitable things that have happened over and over and over again in the Jewish people's worlds. 0.92

02:03:00.700 Um, and you want to say, no, not this time.

02:03:02.480 We're not going down there.

02:03:03.340 I don't have to agree with you on everything.

02:03:04.860 I don't have to share your religion.

02:03:05.820 I don't have to believe that you're, you know, you know, fighting a just war, whatever.

02:03:10.320 I'm just not going to let that happen again.

02:03:12.720 Help.

02:03:13.640 IFCJ.org stand now while it's still pretty easy to stand.
