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%.
00:00:33.620 No imported shortcuts, no blurred labels, no games.
00:00:37.140 The entire process stays here, from pasture to packaging.

00:01:00.100 Hello, America.
00:01:02.020 You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:01:03.760 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:01:09.800 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:15.020 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

00:01:27.040 to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:01:29.980 This isn't a podcast.
00:01:31.340 This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.

00:01:43.580 And thanks for standing with us.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
00:13:18.040 will replace
00:13:18.900 the West.
00:13:20.380 China's
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:18:07.060 growing in
00:18:07.600 maritime power
00:18:08.420 and aggression.
00:18:09.780 India agreed
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
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
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.

00:19:17.300 you're

00:19:17.620 with
00:19:17.820 pain,
00:19:18.140 I have

00:19:28.220 living

00:19:34.020 to
00:19:34.140 fix
00:19:34.420 it.

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
00:21:50.940 and
00:21:56.440 it
00:21:56.640 leads
00:21:57.100 to
00:21:57.340 me
00:21:57.680 reversing

00:21:59.960 have
00:22:00.140 I've
00:22:00.600 believed
00:22:00.940 in
00:22:01.220 forever
00:22:02.080 because
00:22:03.440 what
00:22:03.920 this
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
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
00:22:14.380 hole
00:22:14.760 the
00:22:15.680 Russia
00:22:16.220 China
00:22:17.040 Iran
00:22:17.800 axis
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
00:22:22.640 have
00:22:22.780 the
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
00:22:29.920 exploitation
00:22:30.820 that
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
00:22:33.500 magic
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
00:22:45.500 to get

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
00:22:54.480 trade
00:22:54.920 becomes
00:22:55.560 reciprocal
00:22:56.180 rather
00:22:56.720 than
00:22:57.000 suicidal
00:22:57.780 the

00:25:57.720 saw it
00:25:58.340 even
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
00:26:05.460 should be
00:26:06.060 taken
00:26:06.380 down
00:26:06.700 for
00:26:07.100 you know
00:26:07.800 justice
00:26:08.300 and
00:26:08.700 everything
00:26:09.140 else
00:26:09.540 and so
00:26:10.800 he talked
00:26:11.380 about the
00:26:11.800 fundamental
00:26:12.420 transformation
00:26:13.040 of america
00:26:13.820 and he

00:26:15.640 the united
00:26:16.960 nations
00:26:17.340 and everything
00:26:17.720 else
00:26:18.040 they all
00:26:19.100 start
00:26:19.520 building
00:26:20.160 framework
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
00:26:31.200 you have
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
00:26:38.660 is the
00:26:39.040 first president
00:26:39.620 we've had
00:26:40.180 since ronald
00:26:40.900 reagan
00:26:41.180 that said
00:26:41.480 no no
00:26:41.800 america

00:26:43.080 special
00:26:43.500 place
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
00:26:46.440 the whole
00:26:46.800 world
00:26:47.100 we're

00:26:56.140 completely
00:26:56.600 different
00:26:57.480 vision

00:27:42.780 those who
00:27:44.100 you know

00:27:50.500 speedboats
00:27:50.940 we can
00:27:51.320 take them
00:27:51.720 right now

00:27:55.300 us

00:27:59.920 this is
00:28:02.220 what they
00:28:02.800 did in
00:28:03.160 the speedboats
00:28:03.900 is what
00:28:04.280 the wef

00:28:14.260 continue
00:28:14.700 to push
00:28:15.220 that
00:28:15.500 but it'll
00:28:15.980 fall
00:28:16.360 into
00:28:16.680 our
00:28:17.120 yacht

00:29:23.020 of the
00:29:23.340 backroom
00:29:24.120 shady deals
00:29:25.160 where money

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
00:29:35.220 demise of the
00:29:36.580 western world
00:29:37.240 and their
00:29:37.940 power oh

00:29:45.320 you bill
00:29:45.700 because this
00:29:46.800 isn't about
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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.
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.

00:59:45.420 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.

01:00:10.100 From the Pilgrims to the Bill of Rights,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
01:05:30.340 Let's save lives of moms.
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.
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.
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.
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.
01:15:00.300 Russia's not.
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.
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.

01:22:30.420 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.
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.
01:39:05.020 10 seconds, station.

01:39:21.900 at glennbeck.com slash torch.
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.

01:45:24.600 You can't personally step in and fix global conflicts or prevent natural disasters or smooth out supply chains when they stutter.
01:45:31.600 But you can decide whether your family is left scrambling if one of those disruptions makes its way a little too close to your home.
01:45:39.120 When store shelves are empty or deliveries are delayed, having a reliable supply of meals stored away changes the entire emotional temperature of a household.
01:45:47.400 Because you're not wondering what you're going to feed your family.

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?
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.
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.
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.
02:03:17.680 IFCJ.org.
02:03:19.580 IFCJ.org.
02:03:21.140 Do it now.
