00:02:02.280 Now let's get to work.
00:02:03.240 We'll be right back.
00:02:33.240 We'll be right back.
00:03:03.300 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:04.660 There's a lot going on today.
00:03:06.100 It's Friday, and I want to start with the most important story of the day
00:03:09.800 that is in our show prep.
00:03:11.240 The one story that caught my attention and thought,
00:03:13.820 if I talk about anything today,
00:03:16.220 this is the one story I have to share with you.
00:03:18.940 We begin there in 60 seconds.
00:03:20.800 First, let me tell you about the Berna Launcher.
00:03:23.520 The Berna Launcher, there's nothing more important to you
00:03:26.140 than protecting the people that you love.
00:03:27.980 Sometimes that means using a gun in lethal force,
00:03:31.840 but not always.
00:03:33.080 And for the times when you are not dealing in, you know,
00:03:38.020 killing someone and having to kill somebody to protect you or your family,
00:03:42.260 you have to have another solution to stay safe.
00:03:46.060 And that solution is the Berna Launcher.
00:03:49.000 It's a non-lethal solution that's reliable and really super easy to use.
00:03:53.620 It's a revolution in personal security.
00:03:56.060 It has a CO2 cartridge, which uses the CO2 to throw out a projectile,
00:04:02.520 either kinetic kind or tear gas kind.
00:04:04.600 I like to load mine with alternating rounds.
00:04:08.740 And the tear gas will stop somebody dead in their track 60 feet away from you,
00:04:13.320 and it'll put them down on the ground for about 40 minutes,
00:04:15.820 time for police to arrive.
00:04:17.180 So whether you're at home, in the car, or going out for a walk,
00:04:20.680 you have your Berna with you.
00:04:22.460 You have safety with you.
00:04:24.380 Anytime you can pull out your gun,
00:04:27.240 well, sometimes you don't want to,
00:04:29.160 but you need protection, and that's Berna.

00:04:33.420 For 10% off your purchase, that's Berna dot com slash Glenn.
00:04:38.120 So there's a story in today's show prep that is so personally disturbing to me
00:04:44.680 because I don't think people really understand,
00:04:46.880 and this is everywhere,
00:04:48.260 and we have to have a conversation about what's going on.
00:04:51.940 There's a story in the show prep that is all about this new trend
00:04:56.780 of people thinking that they're Robin Hood,
00:04:59.680 thinking that they can exact social justice.
00:05:03.740 Let me just give you the first few paragraphs of this story.
00:05:07.380 Lee insists he's famously a very good Catholic.
00:05:11.220 He's a moral person.
00:05:12.620 His mother raised him right,
00:05:14.520 and by his internal calculation,
00:05:16.640 it's okay to shoplift from Whole Foods.
00:05:20.900 Why?
00:05:22.240 Jeff Bezos.
00:05:23.280 From 2020 to 2022,
00:05:26.160 Lee, a 20-something communications professional
00:05:29.240 living in Washington, D.C.,
00:05:31.500 engaged in what he described as grand theft autoing
00:05:35.140 from his local Whole Foods store.
00:05:37.660 He would cheat the scale at the hot bar,
00:05:40.500 pocket spices,
00:05:41.540 or take home four lemons in the self-checkout aisle
00:05:44.740 while only declaring two.
00:05:47.160 Lee has never shoplifted anywhere else.
00:05:49.080 No, no, no.
00:05:49.640 Not Safeway.
00:05:50.380 Not a local store.
00:05:51.400 However, he's largely stopped taking from Whole Foods now
00:05:54.720 because he moved into a different neighborhood
00:05:56.520 that doesn't have a Whole Foods.
00:05:59.360 However, he told this reporter
00:06:01.420 that there's one by his gym
00:06:03.600 that he'll pop into and steal from from time to time.
00:06:07.460 Now, Lee has weighed the ethics of his doings.
00:06:10.120 At one point, his guilt got to be so much
00:06:13.320 that he needed to confess his misdeeds to his mother.
00:06:16.380 Once he explained his reasoning, however,
00:06:19.900 Amazon's market power, Bezos's wealth,
00:06:22.800 what the billionaire has done at the Washington Post,
00:06:25.800 mom came around.
00:06:28.780 This is the opening story of this long report.
00:06:35.540 And get it in today's show prep.
00:06:37.020 Just go to glenbeck.com.
00:06:38.080 This is a really important story
00:06:39.600 that you should sit around your dinner table
00:06:41.600 with your family sometime this weekend
00:06:43.880 and share it and talk about it.
00:06:46.580 It shows person after person after person
00:06:49.440 stealing from stores
00:06:51.380 and justifying it with social justice.
00:06:55.060 Not justice justice.
00:06:56.660 Of course not.
00:06:57.680 Social justice,
00:06:58.860 which doesn't exist in reality.
00:07:02.760 So let me summarize this article
00:07:04.900 and try to share why I found this
00:07:07.100 the most disturbing article of the day.
00:07:09.060 Let me paint a picture here of three different people.
00:07:12.680 First, a man standing in the dim glow of a warehouse,
00:07:15.740 a barcode scanner in his hand,
00:07:18.300 sweat on his brow.
00:07:19.720 He has been hardworking.
00:07:21.580 And then a flicker of temptation.
00:07:24.860 This guy's name is Jack.
00:07:26.360 He's not a villain from a comic book.
00:07:28.420 No cape, no maniacal laugh.
00:07:30.500 He's just a guy who is really tired of scraping by.
00:07:33.720 And he's been inundated
00:07:35.400 and living in this stew
00:07:37.880 that has been in the media
00:07:39.860 about social justice.
00:07:41.520 And one day,
00:07:42.240 he stumbles on a glitch in the system.
00:07:45.120 He can get a $10,000 TV for three cents.
00:07:48.520 Now, he doesn't report it to his boss.
00:07:50.460 No, no, no.
00:07:51.560 No.
00:07:52.080 He punches it in
00:07:53.260 and keeps it quiet
00:07:54.140 and sells it off.
00:07:55.720 And then he takes another one,
00:07:57.820 three cents,
00:07:58.640 sells it off.
00:07:59.760 It's a little victory, right?
00:08:01.000 It's a victory for the little guy.
00:08:02.980 Across town,
00:08:04.940 there's another unrelated story.
00:08:06.760 A man with a torch
00:08:07.780 that flares
00:08:08.760 as he and his fellow radicals
00:08:10.520 set Teslas ablaze.
00:08:12.700 Symbols of a world they despise.
00:08:15.180 We've got to get away
00:08:16.320 from that evil Elon Musk.
00:08:18.580 They set fire
00:08:19.600 while screaming for justice.
00:08:23.020 And a third person.
00:08:25.260 This one is in a dorm room.
00:08:28.020 A kid leans on Grok
00:08:29.540 to turn out an essay.
00:08:31.000 He doesn't even understand.
00:08:32.080 He didn't read the book.
00:08:34.000 He didn't pay attention.
00:08:35.580 But he grins at the A's he gets.
00:08:39.420 All of these are relatively small acts.
00:08:42.960 Petty, even.
00:08:44.640 But they're not just stories.
00:08:46.600 This is coming from real life now.
00:08:49.060 And they are cracks in the foundation
00:08:51.120 of everything that we have built
00:08:53.460 as humans,
00:08:54.960 as a society,
00:08:56.340 as a civilization.
00:08:58.280 Key word there,
00:08:59.460 civil.
00:08:59.920 They don't hurt Jeff Bezos.
00:09:03.820 They don't hurt Elon Musk.
00:09:05.420 They're never going to feel this.
00:09:07.380 They hurt Jack.
00:09:08.800 They hurt the radicals.
00:09:10.340 They hurt the kid.
00:09:11.940 They hurt you and me.
00:09:13.480 They hurt all of us.
00:09:16.180 How?
00:09:17.340 Let's start with Jack.
00:09:18.980 Jack's not stealing
00:09:19.960 from a faceless billionaire.
00:09:21.980 Bezos is not going to miss a meal.
00:09:23.960 He's still going to have sex
00:09:25.900 with that hot baby's got by his side.
00:09:29.920 Jack is stealing from himself.
00:09:32.780 He is stealing from each of us.
00:09:34.440 He's stealing, first, trust.
00:09:37.820 Here's the first principle
00:09:39.200 that Jack is misunderstanding.
00:09:41.460 It's older than any religion.
00:09:43.380 It's woven in the fabric
00:09:44.780 of every single human being.
00:09:46.600 And it is the cornerstone
00:09:48.060 of all civilization.
00:09:49.940 Here's the idea.
00:09:53.200 You don't take
00:09:54.320 what's not yours.
00:09:56.680 Now, you can call that
00:09:57.560 a social contract.
00:09:58.740 You can call it
00:09:59.220 the golden rule.
00:10:00.620 Do unto others
00:10:01.340 as you would have them
00:10:02.080 do unto you.
00:10:02.880 Whatever.
00:10:03.940 It's not about Bezos.
00:10:05.400 It's not about his bottom line.
00:10:07.740 It's about the guy
00:10:08.580 next to Jack
00:10:09.720 who then loses hours
00:10:11.460 because Amazon
00:10:12.640 tightens security.
00:10:14.660 It's about the customer
00:10:15.880 who pays an extra buck
00:10:17.240 for toothpaste
00:10:17.860 because theft
00:10:19.420 gets baked into
00:10:20.520 all of the prices.
00:10:22.860 You see, Jack thinks
00:10:23.620 he's winning.
00:10:24.180 He thinks he's Robin Hood,
00:10:25.520 but he's not.
00:10:27.240 And worst of all,
00:10:28.880 he's trading his soul
00:10:30.320 for a quick buck.
00:10:32.160 And that's a loss
00:10:33.340 no profit can ever cover.
00:10:36.600 Now, let's go to the next one.
00:10:38.140 The Tesla's going up in flames.
00:10:39.600 It's happening all over the country.
00:10:40.880 And everybody thinks
00:10:42.240 they're a hero that's doing it.
00:10:44.700 That is not justice.
00:10:46.840 You know what that is?
00:10:47.560 That is envy
00:10:49.060 dressed up
00:10:50.060 as righteousness.
00:10:52.840 Gee, I'm starting
00:10:54.460 to see a pattern here.
00:10:55.400 I'm starting to see
00:10:56.080 exactly what the left
00:10:57.760 has told our kids
00:10:59.640 is right
00:11:00.520 for the last 20 years
00:11:02.980 all coming home
00:11:04.280 to roost now.
00:11:05.980 You see, the radicals
00:11:06.980 think they're striking
00:11:07.680 the blow against excess.
00:11:09.800 They think they're
00:11:10.940 sticking it to the man
00:11:12.480 with power.
00:11:13.580 But what they're actually doing
00:11:15.120 is torching their own future.
00:11:18.420 Insurance is going to spike.
00:11:20.720 Oh, now they're going
00:11:21.480 to have to go after
00:11:22.100 the insurance people.
00:11:23.120 But don't worry,
00:11:23.720 you can kill that guy
00:11:24.780 as he's coming out
00:11:25.480 of a hotel.
00:11:27.700 Jobs that are going
00:11:28.520 to vanish
00:11:29.000 when companies pull out.
00:11:30.620 And the air
00:11:31.580 that chokes
00:11:32.280 with the smoke
00:11:33.360 of all of the batteries
00:11:35.140 on fire.
00:11:38.180 And then the last one,
00:11:39.400 the kid with Grok.
00:11:40.700 He's not cheating
00:11:41.700 a teacher.
00:11:44.440 He's not cheating
00:11:45.400 the system.
00:11:46.380 He's cheating himself.
00:11:47.780 He is paying
00:11:48.740 for an education
00:11:49.700 that he's not getting
00:11:51.300 because he chooses
00:11:52.620 to cheat.
00:11:54.280 He's going to walk
00:11:55.220 across that stage.
00:11:56.280 He's going to get
00:11:56.780 a handshake.
00:11:58.120 He's going to get
00:11:58.860 a diploma.
00:11:59.540 But inside,
00:12:00.560 the rest of his life,
00:12:01.920 he's going to be like,
00:12:02.640 somebody,
00:12:03.120 I hope nobody finds out.
00:12:04.160 I'm a fraud.
00:12:04.720 I don't know
00:12:05.060 what I'm doing.
00:12:05.860 He's empty.
00:12:07.180 He has no grit.
00:12:08.440 He has no wisdom.
00:12:11.300 Just a shell
00:12:12.520 with a grade.
00:12:15.820 And none of these
00:12:16.780 are isolated.
00:12:17.860 None of them.
00:12:19.500 They are threads
00:12:20.600 that are being used
00:12:22.180 by the left
00:12:23.040 to weave into
00:12:25.720 a tapestry of decay
00:12:27.380 and all of us
00:12:29.220 are woven into it.
00:12:34.160 You know,
00:12:37.700 we don't even talk
00:12:38.300 about Christian ethics
00:12:39.240 anymore.
00:12:40.720 The last 2,000 years,
00:12:42.160 have we gotten
00:12:42.520 any better as people?
00:12:44.040 You know,
00:12:44.260 Jesus came.
00:12:45.320 He taught us
00:12:45.860 all this stuff.
00:12:46.680 We still argue.
00:12:47.620 We twist his words.
00:12:48.720 We argue what's right.
00:12:49.840 We even argue
00:12:50.700 if the guy even existed.
00:12:55.280 Theft isn't just
00:12:56.300 about the thing
00:12:57.080 you take.
00:12:58.080 It's about the heart
00:12:59.840 that you break
00:13:00.860 in the process.
00:13:01.660 your heart.
00:13:02.860 Thou shalt not steal.
00:13:04.560 That's not a suggestion.
00:13:06.780 That's a rule.
00:13:09.500 I mean,
00:13:10.080 Exodus doesn't care
00:13:11.360 if it's a TV
00:13:12.060 or a pencil.
00:13:13.560 It's telling you
00:13:14.460 thou shalt not steal
00:13:15.620 because that act
00:13:16.700 will corrode you
00:13:18.100 and leave you
00:13:18.960 with nothing inside.
00:13:20.700 And then Jesus
00:13:21.360 doubles down
00:13:22.160 and says,
00:13:22.860 what does it profit
00:13:23.600 a man to gain
00:13:24.780 the whole world
00:13:25.400 and lose his soul?
00:13:27.660 Jack's not just
00:13:28.520 a thief.
00:13:29.800 He's a man
00:13:30.700 losing himself,
00:13:33.260 his soul,
00:13:34.660 one glitch
00:13:35.620 at a time.
00:13:37.740 The radicals,
00:13:38.880 they're not revolutionaries.
00:13:40.300 They're Pharisees.
00:13:42.080 They're cloaking pride
00:13:43.860 in a cause.
00:13:46.720 Think of that.
00:13:48.700 And the student,
00:13:50.280 he's not learning truth.
00:13:52.280 In fact,
00:13:53.060 he's not even going
00:13:53.760 to school.
00:13:54.400 He's going to the church
00:13:55.800 of his own building.
00:13:57.020 He's worshiping
00:13:58.080 at the temple
00:13:58.820 called convenience.
00:14:02.860 You know,
00:14:03.480 everything that we know,
00:14:04.580 all these golden rules,
00:14:05.620 all those things,
00:14:08.440 it doesn't,
00:14:09.300 when you break
00:14:10.420 these things,
00:14:10.960 it doesn't hurt
00:14:12.180 just the target.
00:14:13.420 It poisons you.
00:14:15.320 I don't believe in God.
00:14:18.620 Okay,
00:14:18.900 don't believe in God.
00:14:20.000 Let's talk universals.
00:14:21.400 Truths that hold
00:14:22.220 whether you pray
00:14:23.060 or not.
00:14:24.300 Every society
00:14:25.520 from Athens
00:14:27.160 to the Iroquois
00:14:28.360 have known
00:14:29.740 trust
00:14:30.400 is the glue
00:14:31.620 to civilization.
00:14:33.360 Why do you think,
00:14:34.260 why do you think
00:14:35.240 these radicals
00:14:36.100 who want to destroy
00:14:36.840 everything
00:14:37.260 are sowing
00:14:38.560 distrust
00:14:39.480 in everything?
00:14:41.780 Because they know
00:14:42.680 you can't build a city,
00:14:43.760 you can't build a family,
00:14:45.400 you can't build
00:14:46.480 a friendship
00:14:47.140 without trust.
00:14:49.240 Jack's theft,
00:14:50.340 the burning of Teslas,
00:14:51.900 the cheated homework,
00:14:53.420 they are all termites
00:14:54.960 in the woodwork.
00:14:56.580 They don't topple
00:14:57.420 the house today,
00:14:58.260 but I guarantee you,
00:14:59.720 they will topple
00:15:00.740 the house
00:15:01.260 and the left
00:15:02.560 knows it.
00:15:04.860 Rome didn't fall
00:15:06.120 in a day.
00:15:06.920 It rotted.
00:15:08.180 It rotted
00:15:09.140 until,
00:15:10.420 until it just toppled over
00:15:12.040 because everybody
00:15:12.900 stopped caring
00:15:13.780 about the small stuff.
00:15:17.200 Philosophers
00:15:17.800 like Immanuel Kant,
00:15:19.300 he nailed it.
00:15:21.380 Act only
00:15:22.120 in ways
00:15:22.880 you want
00:15:23.280 everyone else
00:15:24.080 to act.
00:15:25.520 Well,
00:15:25.840 that's not Jesus.
00:15:26.900 Although it sounds
00:15:27.740 like Jesus,
00:15:28.580 that's not Jesus.
00:15:30.440 If every car
00:15:31.740 burns
00:15:32.380 out of social justice,
00:15:33.700 you know what,
00:15:34.060 we're all walking.
00:15:35.060 If you burn
00:15:36.020 and destroy Tesla,
00:15:38.060 does that hurt
00:15:39.060 Elon Musk?
00:15:40.400 Yeah,
00:15:40.740 but it also hurts
00:15:42.040 everybody
00:15:42.740 who has bought
00:15:43.780 a share.
00:15:44.660 It hurts
00:15:45.400 everybody's
00:15:46.400 bottom line
00:15:47.040 and it destroys
00:15:47.960 the precious planet
00:15:49.400 you keep screaming
00:15:50.560 about.
00:15:53.260 If every kid
00:15:54.320 cheats,
00:15:55.320 what does that
00:15:56.160 mean?
00:15:57.320 We're led
00:15:58.100 by fools
00:15:59.240 with degrees.
00:16:01.400 And that's not
00:16:02.020 hyperbole.
00:16:02.800 All of this
00:16:03.480 is math.
00:16:04.640 This is the way
00:16:05.340 the world works.
00:16:06.820 This isn't about
00:16:07.560 the rich getting
00:16:08.280 richer or the poor
00:16:09.320 getting revenge.
00:16:10.120 Bezos isn't
00:16:11.400 the victim.
00:16:12.460 He's the least
00:16:13.360 hurt.
00:16:15.800 The real pain
00:16:16.760 lands on the
00:16:17.720 invisible.
00:16:19.060 The single mom
00:16:20.160 that loses
00:16:20.720 her shift.
00:16:22.000 The driver
00:16:22.760 who can't
00:16:23.640 afford insurance
00:16:25.120 anymore.
00:16:26.260 And the revolutionaries
00:16:27.540 love it because
00:16:28.520 then they can rail
00:16:29.660 against the insurance
00:16:30.740 companies and
00:16:31.500 burn that down
00:16:33.320 to the ground.
00:16:34.440 What's worse,
00:16:35.680 you go ahead,
00:16:36.500 cheat your way
00:16:37.220 through school.
00:16:37.960 You know who loses?
00:16:38.660 The patient
00:16:39.840 whose doctors
00:16:40.900 failed and
00:16:42.060 faked their way
00:16:43.540 through medical
00:16:44.240 school.
00:16:44.940 Now they're
00:16:45.580 standing there
00:16:46.160 like, I don't
00:16:46.800 really know what
00:16:47.460 I'm doing,
00:16:48.020 but I can't
00:16:49.040 tell anybody
00:16:49.620 because they'll
00:16:50.180 all find out.
00:16:53.220 Jack's theft
00:16:54.060 doesn't hurt
00:16:55.200 or touch
00:16:55.940 the penthouse.
00:16:57.060 It hits
00:16:58.040 and hurts
00:16:58.860 the trailer
00:16:59.680 park.
00:17:01.240 The radicals
00:17:02.420 don't dent
00:17:03.120 Musk's empire.
00:17:04.500 they burden
00:17:07.740 the worker
00:17:08.320 who can't
00:17:09.160 replace his
00:17:09.880 torched ride.
00:17:11.280 And the kid,
00:17:12.000 he's not sticking
00:17:12.880 it to the system.
00:17:14.080 He's ensuring
00:17:15.000 that the system
00:17:15.820 fails all of us
00:17:17.200 when we need it
00:17:17.940 the most.
00:17:20.080 See, here's the
00:17:20.980 thing.
00:17:21.560 There are things
00:17:22.440 that you stand
00:17:23.100 up for and you're
00:17:23.940 a revolutionary
00:17:24.560 for.
00:17:25.900 But when that
00:17:26.800 is social justice
00:17:27.960 versus justice
00:17:29.160 justice,
00:17:29.740 everything falls
00:17:31.640 apart.
00:17:34.400 Defiance
00:17:35.160 for social
00:17:38.120 justice
00:17:38.680 doesn't liberate.
00:17:40.180 It enslaves
00:17:41.280 everybody.
00:17:44.060 Talk about
00:17:44.940 the thief
00:17:45.360 himself.
00:17:46.580 Jack,
00:17:47.140 the radicals,
00:17:47.920 the student.
00:17:48.800 They're not
00:17:49.260 just hurting
00:17:50.020 even society.
00:17:51.780 What's worse
00:17:52.520 is they're
00:17:53.200 hollowing
00:17:53.840 themselves out.
00:17:55.320 And they
00:17:56.000 know it.
00:17:57.180 That's why
00:17:57.660 in the first
00:17:58.240 story I gave
00:17:59.060 to you,
00:17:59.300 the story
00:17:59.800 that this
00:18:00.220 whole thing
00:18:00.600 starts with
00:18:01.300 about the
00:18:01.960 kid who
00:18:02.340 says,
00:18:02.800 you know,
00:18:03.040 and I got
00:18:03.520 felt so
00:18:04.020 guilty,
00:18:04.400 I had to
00:18:04.620 go talk
00:18:05.020 to my
00:18:05.360 mom and
00:18:05.800 tell her.
00:18:06.500 But he
00:18:06.920 convinced
00:18:08.040 her his
00:18:09.260 justification
00:18:10.140 was so
00:18:11.600 powerful
00:18:12.180 that she
00:18:12.960 agreed.
00:18:13.600 So now
00:18:14.140 he's got
00:18:14.640 mom's
00:18:15.260 endorsement
00:18:15.880 as well.
00:18:20.460 You know,
00:18:21.160 this country
00:18:21.760 became great
00:18:23.340 in the first
00:18:23.920 place because
00:18:24.500 we knew
00:18:25.220 there was
00:18:25.640 dignity
00:18:26.160 and struggle
00:18:26.760 and we
00:18:27.120 learned it.
00:18:27.680 we learned
00:18:29.300 it from
00:18:29.800 the pilgrims
00:18:30.540 when they
00:18:30.860 came over,
00:18:31.540 chased out
00:18:32.280 of a country
00:18:33.080 because they
00:18:33.960 just wanted
00:18:34.460 to live
00:18:34.900 their lives
00:18:35.520 morally the
00:18:36.320 way they
00:18:36.740 chose.
00:18:37.800 They just
00:18:38.240 wanted to
00:18:38.680 dedicate
00:18:38.980 themselves to
00:18:40.080 the God
00:18:40.580 of their
00:18:41.100 understanding.
00:18:42.180 So they
00:18:42.660 came over
00:18:43.180 here and
00:18:43.480 they struggled
00:18:44.160 and struggled
00:18:44.740 and struggled
00:18:45.240 but they
00:18:45.620 made it
00:18:46.020 and there
00:18:46.260 was dignity
00:18:46.940 in that.
00:18:48.720 Dignity
00:18:49.280 gives you
00:18:50.180 the quiet
00:18:50.740 strength
00:18:51.440 because you've
00:18:52.780 done right
00:18:53.580 when doing
00:18:54.660 right is
00:18:55.380 hard.
00:18:57.480 Jack could
00:18:57.960 have reported
00:18:58.540 the glitch.
00:19:00.200 Maybe it
00:19:00.780 would have
00:19:01.000 earned him
00:19:01.380 respect.
00:19:01.940 Maybe it
00:19:02.380 would have
00:19:03.200 given him
00:19:03.620 a raise.
00:19:04.200 Maybe not.
00:19:05.540 Maybe then
00:19:06.160 that turns
00:19:06.720 Jack even
00:19:07.300 more bitter.
00:19:07.840 I reported
00:19:08.300 that.
00:19:08.640 I've saved
00:19:08.940 this company
00:19:10.560 so much
00:19:11.140 money and
00:19:11.560 they didn't
00:19:11.860 even care.
00:19:15.600 But now
00:19:16.320 he's a shadow
00:19:17.060 sneaking through
00:19:17.800 life.
00:19:19.920 More in a
00:19:20.620 minute.
00:19:20.800 You ever
00:19:35.820 lay awake
00:19:36.620 at night
00:19:36.860 and wonder
00:19:37.260 why your
00:19:37.840 debt feels
00:19:38.400 like a
00:19:38.740 life sentence?
00:19:39.600 I mean
00:19:39.820 you've been
00:19:40.780 smart through
00:19:41.740 the years.
00:19:42.200 You tried
00:19:42.480 to stay
00:19:42.960 ahead of
00:19:43.380 the financial
00:19:43.880 curves that
00:19:44.480 life was
00:19:44.880 thrown at
00:19:45.320 you but
00:19:45.560 somewhere along
00:19:46.120 the way
00:19:46.440 things just
00:19:46.920 started coming
00:19:47.420 at you
00:19:47.700 too fast.
00:19:49.180 You know
00:19:49.460 it's those
00:19:49.760 evil rich
00:19:50.300 people.
00:19:51.000 I gotta
00:19:51.300 blame it
00:19:51.700 on somebody.
00:19:52.920 No.
00:19:53.820 I mean
00:19:54.100 you can
00:19:54.600 but what
00:19:55.980 does that
00:19:56.360 gain?
00:19:57.600 Just the
00:19:57.920 bills were
00:19:58.280 too many.
00:19:58.880 There weren't
00:19:59.220 you know
00:20:00.460 there were
00:20:00.700 more of
00:20:01.100 them than
00:20:01.380 there were
00:20:01.780 before and
00:20:02.840 the credit
00:20:03.460 cards,
00:20:04.440 high interest
00:20:05.060 rates.
00:20:06.400 I mean
00:20:06.720 you were
00:20:07.080 screwed.
00:20:07.760 The system
00:20:08.220 screwed you
00:20:08.840 because the
00:20:09.400 system is
00:20:09.880 corrupt.
00:20:10.640 So what
00:20:10.880 are you
00:20:10.980 gonna do?
00:20:11.880 Well do
00:20:12.500 the next
00:20:13.040 right thing.
00:20:14.680 American
00:20:15.160 financing can
00:20:15.980 help you get
00:20:16.620 out from
00:20:17.020 underneath that
00:20:17.800 debt and
00:20:18.440 it's because
00:20:19.080 they don't
00:20:19.680 work for
00:20:20.300 the bank.
00:20:20.860 They work
00:20:21.260 for you
00:20:21.900 and they
00:20:22.580 will help
00:20:23.100 you build
00:20:23.600 a better
00:20:23.940 financial
00:20:24.420 house.
00:20:25.180 They've been
00:20:25.500 saving people
00:20:26.040 in this
00:20:26.380 audience just
00:20:27.100 like you
00:20:27.540 people just
00:20:28.140 like you
00:20:28.560 hundreds of

00:21:00.040 You know
00:21:11.960 Jack in the
00:21:13.200 store
00:21:13.620 they've got
00:21:15.120 the radicals
00:21:16.000 out on the
00:21:16.380 street
00:21:16.740 they could have
00:21:18.540 been building
00:21:18.980 something but
00:21:19.540 they didn't
00:21:19.880 they decided to
00:21:20.480 burn it all
00:21:20.900 down.
00:21:21.200 The students
00:21:21.680 could have
00:21:22.200 wrestled with
00:21:22.900 ideas and
00:21:23.720 grown sharp
00:21:24.440 but they
00:21:24.880 didn't.
00:21:25.280 They chose
00:21:25.700 the cheap
00:21:26.200 way and
00:21:27.620 cheapness is
00:21:28.620 a cancer.
00:21:30.040 Nietzsche
00:21:30.940 not a
00:21:31.680 Christian
00:21:32.120 mind you
00:21:32.880 saw it.
00:21:34.260 He said
00:21:34.580 quote he
00:21:35.420 who fights
00:21:36.000 with monsters
00:21:36.700 should look
00:21:37.800 look to it
00:21:39.300 that he
00:21:39.900 himself does
00:21:40.800 not become
00:21:41.880 a monster.
00:21:43.920 Everybody
00:21:44.520 thinks they're
00:21:45.280 so smart
00:21:45.780 today.
00:21:46.180 Everybody
00:21:46.360 thinks they're
00:21:46.820 beating the
00:21:47.480 game.
00:21:47.980 They think
00:21:48.280 they've got
00:21:48.680 something new.
00:21:49.480 They don't.
00:21:50.540 This has
00:21:50.800 happened over
00:21:51.360 and over
00:21:51.720 and over
00:21:52.100 again.
00:21:53.740 What they're
00:21:54.180 doing is
00:21:54.760 they're losing
00:21:55.320 their humanity
00:21:56.200 and then we
00:21:57.780 will lose
00:21:58.480 civilization.
00:21:59.340 civilization
00:22:00.320 is not
00:22:01.120 invincible.
00:22:01.960 It's a
00:22:02.160 garden that
00:22:03.180 has to be
00:22:03.660 tended by
00:22:04.800 decency and
00:22:06.060 it's choked
00:22:06.840 by neglect
00:22:07.800 or apathy.
00:22:10.120 When trust
00:22:10.900 dies,
00:22:12.180 everything else
00:22:13.320 dies with
00:22:14.020 it.
00:22:15.340 The French
00:22:15.860 revolution
00:22:16.440 devoured
00:22:17.580 itself when
00:22:18.780 envy outran
00:22:20.440 reason.
00:22:22.760 Now we are
00:22:23.660 struggling right
00:22:24.680 now to put
00:22:25.280 reason and
00:22:25.940 fix her firmly
00:22:26.660 in her seat
00:22:27.400 again.
00:22:27.660 We're struggling
00:22:29.040 just to have
00:22:29.720 common sense
00:22:30.560 again.
00:22:30.960 That's what
00:22:31.380 this movement
00:22:32.000 is really all
00:22:32.640 about.
00:22:33.440 Restoring
00:22:34.080 reason and
00:22:35.580 common sense
00:22:36.560 over envy.
00:22:40.800 We're not
00:22:41.720 immune.
00:22:42.540 When we let
00:22:43.040 small things
00:22:43.720 slide, we
00:22:44.480 invite the
00:22:45.400 big ones.
00:22:46.540 A society
00:22:47.220 where theft
00:22:47.900 and destruction
00:22:48.540 and deceit
00:22:49.360 are all shrugged
00:22:50.260 off, it
00:22:51.520 doesn't stand.
00:22:53.380 This is why
00:22:54.060 it matters.
00:22:55.120 This is why
00:22:55.540 everything you
00:22:56.580 do matters.
00:22:57.820 This is why
00:22:58.380 the small
00:22:59.360 little lies
00:23:00.080 in your life
00:23:00.900 matter because
00:23:01.940 they all
00:23:02.740 add up.
00:23:04.180 All of our
00:23:04.740 little lies
00:23:05.420 add up.
00:23:08.020 Decency,
00:23:09.300 old-fashioned
00:23:10.280 stubborn
00:23:10.880 decency
00:23:11.920 is what fixes
00:23:13.780 this.
00:23:14.280 Jack could have
00:23:14.800 said no.
00:23:15.320 The radicals
00:23:16.000 could have
00:23:16.280 built instead
00:23:17.740 of burnt.
00:23:18.640 The kid could
00:23:19.400 crack a book,
00:23:20.700 attend a lecture,
00:23:22.660 look in the
00:23:23.980 mirror, and
00:23:24.620 choose better.
00:23:27.460 Just do
00:23:28.620 the next
00:23:29.640 right thing.
00:23:33.860 This is
00:23:35.000 Glenn Beck.
00:23:37.880 So you and
00:23:38.720 I both know
00:23:39.380 what a strong
00:23:40.580 economy looks
00:23:41.320 like, one
00:23:41.740 where people
00:23:42.100 can work
00:23:42.620 hard, keep
00:23:43.780 most of what
00:23:44.400 we earn, and
00:23:45.520 see our savings
00:23:46.260 grow.
00:23:47.760 That's a place
00:23:48.740 I'd love to get
00:23:49.320 back to.
00:23:50.500 Let's hope,
00:23:52.380 but let's
00:23:52.920 also be
00:23:53.320 honest with
00:23:53.720 ourselves,
00:23:54.200 that's not
00:23:54.520 the world
00:23:54.860 we're living
00:23:55.260 in right
00:23:55.680 now.
00:23:56.620 That's why
00:23:57.080 it's more
00:23:57.480 important than
00:23:58.020 ever to
00:23:58.400 consider adding
00:23:59.080 gold and
00:23:59.680 other precious
00:24:00.260 metals to
00:24:00.760 your portfolio.
00:24:01.620 You might
00:24:01.920 say, I can't
00:24:02.600 afford that,
00:24:03.120 but do you
00:24:03.560 have anything
00:24:04.120 saved?
00:24:05.280 Anything at
00:24:05.960 all?
00:24:06.720 Take 10%
00:24:07.560 of whatever
00:24:08.060 that is and
00:24:09.800 buy something
00:24:10.960 of value that
00:24:12.360 holds its
00:24:13.420 value, or in
00:24:14.320 this case,
00:24:14.940 grows.
00:24:15.880 As the dollar
00:24:16.660 goes down,
00:24:17.700 your gold or
00:24:18.460 your silver will
00:24:19.220 go up, and
00:24:19.900 silver is
00:24:20.680 affordable.
00:24:21.120 I want you
00:24:22.600 to call this
00:24:24.820 number and
00:24:25.720 find out if

00:25:14.940 Welcome to the
00:25:16.080 Glenn Beck program
00:25:16.940 from KNRS today
00:25:19.340 in the studios.
00:25:20.140 We want to thank
00:25:20.460 KNRS for allowing
00:25:21.960 me to broadcast
00:25:22.620 from their studios
00:25:23.980 here in Salt Lake
00:25:24.800 City.
00:25:25.080 was in Miami
00:25:26.400 yesterday and
00:25:27.700 flew out to
00:25:29.100 Salt Lake.
00:25:29.460 A friend was
00:25:30.060 having a birthday
00:25:31.580 party and
00:25:32.960 geez, it was
00:25:33.920 like the who's
00:25:34.520 who at this
00:25:35.180 birthday party.
00:25:35.680 It was a surprise
00:25:36.360 party for him.
00:25:37.180 And I walk in there
00:25:38.320 and there was
00:25:38.440 like, I don't
00:25:39.160 know, 20
00:25:39.860 attorney generals
00:25:40.700 from all around
00:25:42.840 the country and
00:25:43.480 just really, really
00:25:44.840 amazing people.
00:25:45.840 And I had some
00:25:46.420 fantastic conversations
00:25:48.860 about what's
00:25:49.820 happening in
00:25:50.960 Washington and
00:25:53.280 things that they're
00:25:54.360 concerned about and
00:25:55.480 watching.
00:25:55.940 and I'm going to
00:25:56.980 have a few of
00:25:57.560 them on in the
00:25:58.320 coming weeks because
00:25:59.300 I wish you could
00:26:01.160 have been there
00:26:01.560 with me having
00:26:02.220 these conversations
00:26:03.040 with them because
00:26:03.760 I learned an
00:26:04.600 awful lot.
00:26:05.880 But we'll talk
00:26:06.800 about that coming
00:26:07.360 up in just a
00:26:07.980 little while.
00:26:08.800 Sarah was just
00:26:09.860 saying to me
00:26:10.500 during the break,
00:26:11.360 you experienced
00:26:12.480 what I was
00:26:13.180 talking about
00:26:13.940 firsthand with
00:26:15.680 your daughter.
00:26:16.760 Yes, it was a
00:26:18.000 little earlier
00:26:18.520 than I expected,
00:26:19.400 but she's taking
00:26:20.220 college courses and
00:26:21.980 they gave her this
00:26:23.280 essay she had to
00:26:24.000 write about a
00:26:24.700 book that was
00:26:25.200 500 pages, if
00:26:26.720 not more.
00:26:27.840 And she said
00:26:29.220 that I'm just
00:26:29.800 going to put it
00:26:30.200 into chat GPT.
00:26:31.840 And I'm like,
00:26:32.620 okay, thinking
00:26:33.620 the teacher will
00:26:35.200 know.
00:26:35.740 Everybody else is
00:26:36.300 probably using
00:26:36.680 chat GPT at this
00:26:37.580 point.
00:26:37.880 It's a college
00:26:38.360 course, so I'll
00:26:39.420 just let her do
00:26:40.000 it and see if it
00:26:40.980 bites her.
00:26:42.920 That's an
00:26:43.380 interesting approach
00:26:44.280 there.
00:26:44.760 It is.
00:26:45.420 So you weren't
00:26:46.720 like, see if it
00:26:47.540 bites her or you
00:26:48.180 were like, it's
00:26:48.880 going to bite her
00:26:49.380 and let her feel
00:26:50.060 the pain of it.
00:26:50.980 The latter.
00:26:51.960 She was like,
00:26:52.720 look, I know I've
00:26:54.140 had seven drinks,
00:26:54.940 but I'm going to
00:26:55.360 drive home.
00:26:55.900 And I was like,
00:26:56.300 I'm going to let
00:26:56.820 her have those
00:26:57.280 consequences.
00:26:58.040 She'll learn her
00:26:58.560 lesson.
00:26:59.120 It was shots.
00:26:59.860 Oh, it was shots.
00:27:00.540 Okay, thank you.
00:27:01.160 Okay, yeah, there's
00:27:01.820 a difference between
00:27:02.700 a full cocktail and
00:27:03.800 shots.
00:27:03.940 Right, of course.
00:27:04.600 Give me some credit.
00:27:06.300 So I asked her a
00:27:08.080 couple, honestly, I
00:27:10.080 was hoping that she
00:27:10.820 would not do that
00:27:11.900 and actually try to
00:27:12.600 read the book, at
00:27:13.220 least like even if
00:27:14.140 it was Cliff Notes,
00:27:15.360 you know.
00:27:17.100 That's understandable.
00:27:18.000 I mean, we had to
00:27:18.800 work for it.
00:27:19.500 We had to at least
00:27:20.220 read Cliff Notes.
00:27:21.900 Yeah, I know.
00:27:23.040 So I asked her
00:27:24.160 later, I said,
00:27:24.720 how did you do on
00:27:25.460 the essay?
00:27:26.040 And she said,
00:27:26.500 I got a 90.
00:27:27.780 And I said,
00:27:28.520 well, that's not
00:27:29.300 good.
00:27:29.960 And she's like,
00:27:30.640 mom, it's a 90.
00:27:31.420 And what else was I
00:27:32.200 supposed to do?
00:27:32.800 I had no other
00:27:33.360 options.
00:27:34.380 The homework.
00:27:35.140 Yeah, read it.
00:27:36.040 The homework.
00:27:37.360 What are you going
00:27:37.960 to do?
00:27:38.200 Make me actually do
00:27:39.460 the assignment,
00:27:40.620 mom?
00:27:40.800 I don't know.
00:27:41.480 You know what's
00:27:42.360 crazy is when she
00:27:44.560 said, I got a 90.
00:27:46.240 My response would
00:27:48.060 have been from her.
00:27:49.520 Only a 90?
00:27:50.460 Grok sucks.
00:27:52.240 Get over to
00:27:52.820 Gemini right now,
00:27:53.760 kid.
00:27:56.080 That's the new
00:27:56.700 parenting.
00:27:57.420 So what did you
00:27:58.140 say to that?
00:27:59.500 I couldn't say
00:28:00.440 anything.
00:28:01.140 You know, I just
00:28:01.720 have to hope that
00:28:02.460 she won't do it
00:28:03.480 again.
00:28:04.340 You got to stop
00:28:05.160 on the hope
00:28:06.920 thing.
00:28:07.300 You can do
00:28:08.120 something.
00:28:08.640 You do realize
00:28:09.380 this, right?
00:28:11.960 I feel like you
00:28:13.380 told the story as a
00:28:14.360 much more
00:28:14.680 responsible parent
00:28:15.700 off the air.
00:28:16.440 I feel like your
00:28:17.080 version on the air
00:28:18.040 makes you seem like
00:28:18.820 you're like, ah,
00:28:20.080 I just gave her.
00:28:21.320 I gave the kid to
00:28:22.780 Sam Altman.
00:28:23.500 That's all.
00:28:24.460 That's it.
00:28:25.280 Well, I guess it
00:28:26.200 didn't carry.
00:28:26.600 So she was going.
00:28:27.700 She had at least a
00:28:28.540 flight to an island.
00:28:32.880 It didn't really
00:28:33.740 carry as much weight
00:28:34.600 until I heard
00:28:35.280 Glenn say that,
00:28:36.400 you know, a
00:28:37.260 surgeon is just
00:28:37.860 going to go for it
00:28:39.280 and not really know
00:28:39.820 what to do.
00:28:40.280 And the patient's
00:28:40.820 the one that
00:28:41.140 suffers.
00:28:41.680 So now I'm
00:28:42.360 actually going to
00:28:42.840 get on her a
00:28:43.300 little bit more.
00:28:44.260 Here's what's
00:28:45.080 going to happen.
00:28:45.700 And, you know,
00:28:46.340 the important part
00:28:47.040 of that monologue
00:28:47.680 that I just gave
00:28:48.380 a minute ago was
00:28:49.140 that you hollow
00:28:50.360 yourself out.
00:28:51.360 You will, I mean,
00:28:52.600 I don't know if
00:28:53.080 anybody, this is one
00:28:53.840 of the reasons why
00:28:54.480 I'm an alcoholic is
00:28:55.320 because I felt like
00:28:56.980 a fraud my whole
00:28:58.180 life.
00:28:58.880 I didn't feel like I
00:28:59.900 had earned
00:29:00.460 anything because I
00:29:01.380 didn't know
00:29:01.920 anything.
00:29:02.300 You know, I
00:29:03.040 started radio when
00:29:05.000 I was 13 and I
00:29:06.160 learned the tricks
00:29:06.940 of, you know, how
00:29:08.640 to present things
00:29:09.500 and everything else.
00:29:10.520 And there wasn't
00:29:11.360 any like real,
00:29:12.440 anything real behind
00:29:13.600 it for a long time,
00:29:15.060 you know, until I was
00:29:15.800 about 30 and, you
00:29:17.760 know, started to think
00:29:18.640 and get off the
00:29:19.340 sauce.
00:29:20.040 And what, what some
00:29:22.440 of the things that I
00:29:23.120 was drinking away was
00:29:24.440 I felt like a fraud.
00:29:25.460 I felt if anybody
00:29:26.300 knows who I really am,
00:29:27.500 if anybody knows what
00:29:28.340 I've done, blah, blah,
00:29:29.180 blah.
00:29:29.840 And so you hollow
00:29:30.720 yourself out.
00:29:32.280 And so you, these kids
00:29:34.000 are going to come up in
00:29:34.980 a time where they're
00:29:35.880 going to feel like, I
00:29:36.760 don't really know
00:29:37.420 anything.
00:29:37.760 I hope nobody figures
00:29:38.740 this out.
00:29:39.400 I'm not, I don't really
00:29:40.260 belong here.
00:29:40.860 And if you're a doctor,
00:29:42.680 that's going to be a
00:29:43.500 real problem, but don't
00:29:44.920 worry, doctors will be
00:29:45.900 replaced by machines, but
00:29:48.160 you won't be able to
00:29:49.500 think enough to be able
00:29:50.800 to go, wait a minute,
00:29:51.620 that, that sounds like
00:29:53.500 that machine is trying
00:29:54.700 to eliminate me.
00:29:56.380 Um, you, you have to
00:29:58.640 have reason and logic
00:30:00.340 and that's not something
00:30:01.340 everyone is born with.
00:30:02.900 You have to be taught
00:30:04.520 how to critically think.
00:30:06.120 And that's what school
00:30:07.180 is missing.
00:30:07.900 School is making kids
00:30:09.020 memorize stuff.
00:30:10.460 Stop with the
00:30:11.280 memorization of stuff.
00:30:13.140 It's the thinking that
00:30:14.680 matters.
00:30:15.160 It's how to get kids to
00:30:17.200 critically think, to ask.
00:30:19.200 It's, school should be
00:30:20.280 more about the questions
00:30:21.540 than the answers.
00:30:22.500 How do I question
00:30:24.440 things?
00:30:25.540 How do I, how do I ask a
00:30:27.240 series of questions that
00:30:28.440 gets me to be able to use
00:30:30.620 my own brain to think?
00:30:33.620 So you're, you're hollowing
00:30:35.500 yourself out.
00:30:36.280 And on top of that, you
00:30:38.440 are going to pay a heavy
00:30:39.400 price at one point or
00:30:40.920 another, you will pay a
00:30:42.140 heavy price.
00:30:42.740 What's what they're
00:30:43.260 finding in colleges now
00:30:44.520 is colleges like, um,
00:30:47.160 Harvard.
00:30:47.820 They're having to offer
00:30:49.160 remedial math now, uh,
00:30:51.860 because the kids can't
00:30:52.980 think.
00:30:53.220 And again, math is not
00:30:54.780 about the numbers.
00:30:56.320 I mean, it is in the end,
00:30:58.120 but it is really about how
00:30:59.700 to think, how to critically
00:31:01.520 look at things and go, oh,
00:31:03.480 here's how you figure this
00:31:04.820 out.
00:31:05.980 Um, and so what they're
00:31:07.240 finding now in universities
00:31:08.680 is some of the best
00:31:09.980 universities are now seeing
00:31:11.680 the highest scores they've
00:31:13.920 ever seen.
00:31:14.680 And these professors, they
00:31:16.180 know, and they're saying,
00:31:17.880 they're saying to their own
00:31:18.900 class, gee, it's, you know,
00:31:20.280 what's incredible is I've
00:31:22.300 done this for 30 years and
00:31:24.820 student for student, you
00:31:27.020 are the smartest class by
00:31:28.900 far I've ever had.
00:31:31.240 I don't know what's in this.
00:31:33.040 I don't know what's in the
00:31:34.040 air right now, but boy, is
00:31:36.080 all schools are getting
00:31:37.340 worse.
00:31:38.500 You are defying all the odds
00:31:41.300 because all of you are
00:31:42.840 getting A's on your
00:31:43.880 homework.
00:31:45.120 Now, here's a test.
00:31:47.560 I'm going to watch you
00:31:49.440 take it.
00:31:50.500 And as they do, they fail
00:31:52.520 their tests.
00:31:54.140 So the professors are
00:31:55.300 saying, gee, I wonder how
00:31:57.100 the smartest class, when
00:31:58.980 they're away finishing their
00:32:00.400 homework, can't take a test
00:32:02.520 and answer the questions
00:32:03.660 that you clearly know
00:32:05.460 because you did your
00:32:06.260 homework.
00:32:06.640 The answer is they didn't
00:32:07.680 do their homework.
00:32:09.520 That's not just cheating
00:32:11.160 the system.
00:32:11.900 Why would you pay for an
00:32:13.820 education and then not get
00:32:17.060 one?
00:32:18.000 Why would you pay for
00:32:19.280 something and then cheat
00:32:20.920 yourself out of it?
00:32:22.420 It's like, it's honestly,
00:32:23.480 it's like, it's like buying
00:32:24.720 the most expensive package
00:32:26.380 at Disneyland or Disney
00:32:27.880 World and then not going
00:32:29.860 on any other rides.
00:32:32.440 Why did you go?
00:32:33.920 Why did you go?
00:32:34.520 I thought you were going to
00:32:35.180 go because you wanted to
00:32:36.000 ride the rides.
00:32:37.560 No, no.
00:32:38.600 You're paying for that
00:32:39.660 because all you want to
00:32:40.840 say is I went to Harvard.
00:32:42.920 I graduated from Harvard.
00:32:44.740 You didn't want to
00:32:45.560 experience anything.
00:32:46.460 You don't want to learn
00:32:47.280 anything.
00:32:47.860 You just want the piece
00:32:49.080 of paper in the end.
00:32:51.100 That paper is worthless.
00:32:53.820 It's worthless.
00:32:56.060 That's what we have to
00:32:57.060 teach our kids.
00:32:57.820 But right now, the whole
00:32:59.340 of society is teaching
00:33:01.400 vengeance is yours.
00:33:04.500 Get them.
00:33:06.020 Social justice over
00:33:07.560 actual justice.
00:33:09.140 Get them.
00:33:10.140 You've been screwed your
00:33:11.500 whole life.
00:33:12.420 Others are keeping you
00:33:13.520 down.
00:33:14.340 Get them.
00:33:15.660 You take it, whatever,
00:33:17.120 however you have to do
00:33:18.620 it.
00:33:19.180 The ends justify the
00:33:20.760 means.
00:33:21.840 Get them.
00:33:23.200 You don't want to live
00:33:24.440 in a society built by
00:33:26.100 people like that.
00:33:27.780 But that's what we're
00:33:29.040 allowing to happen with
00:33:31.280 our children.
00:33:32.600 The best thing you can
00:33:33.640 do is don't, A, don't
00:33:36.040 let your kids have access
00:33:37.060 to any of this stuff.
00:33:38.240 As Stu said, you
00:33:40.560 don't let your kids
00:33:41.620 watch porno movies.
00:33:43.400 You know why?
00:33:44.100 Because they'll have
00:33:45.360 plenty of time after
00:33:46.960 they're in their 20s to
00:33:48.880 watch all the porn they
00:33:50.140 want.
00:33:50.360 I mean, it's one of the
00:33:51.160 reasons.
00:33:52.140 It's not the main
00:33:53.120 reason, but yes.
00:33:53.980 No, I know.
00:33:54.940 But I mean, they make
00:33:55.960 their decisions once
00:33:57.180 they have experienced
00:33:59.140 the good, once they
00:34:00.840 have been raised in a
00:34:04.220 home that has standards,
00:34:07.220 they have a chance of
00:34:09.260 going out into the
00:34:11.060 world and surviving the
00:34:12.740 poison that is
00:34:13.760 surrounded by them.
00:34:14.960 Don't give them poison
00:34:16.240 as part of their diet.
00:34:18.500 Let them live good
00:34:20.700 things.
00:34:21.080 Let them learn and use
00:34:22.360 their brain.
00:34:23.360 You know, you can't
00:34:24.100 question.
00:34:24.740 If you're using Grok or
00:34:26.040 any AI and you're just
00:34:27.380 letting it give you the
00:34:28.540 answers, you're stupid.
00:34:31.000 You're stupid because it
00:34:32.620 lies.
00:34:33.120 It cheats.
00:34:34.160 It cuts corners.
00:34:35.040 It is, it's so crazy.
00:34:39.720 You know how God, we
00:34:41.240 were created in God's
00:34:42.420 image, but none of us
00:34:43.720 are God's.
00:34:44.580 We're kind of a crappy
00:34:45.840 version of God.
00:34:47.960 We're like, you know,
00:34:49.220 I've said this a million
00:34:50.380 times.
00:34:51.220 If I were God right now,
00:34:52.840 I would have been hitting
00:34:53.640 that smoke button every
00:34:55.120 day, all the time.
00:34:56.520 Smoke, smoke, smoke,
00:34:57.580 smoke, smoke.
00:34:59.080 I'm not a good God.
00:35:01.020 Thank you.
00:35:02.080 He knew that.
00:35:03.020 That's why I'm not a
00:35:04.340 God.
00:35:05.220 I am a reflection of
00:35:07.060 him.
00:35:07.460 I have all of the good
00:35:08.680 things and I don't have
00:35:10.300 the restraint that he
00:35:11.920 has.
00:35:12.860 Okay.
00:35:13.080 And we should recognize
00:35:14.180 that we're not God.
00:35:16.140 So imagine that we are
00:35:18.320 made in his image.
00:35:19.980 AI is being made in our
00:35:22.200 image and it's not going
00:35:24.800 to be as good as we are.
00:35:26.700 It might be smarter, but
00:35:29.380 that's not the end all
00:35:31.140 and be all.
00:35:31.880 You know, in fact,
00:35:33.460 smarts are probably the
00:35:35.240 worst thing.
00:35:36.460 I would rather have a
00:35:37.520 kid that is not, not all
00:35:40.320 that smart, but a decent
00:35:42.480 human being, a kind,
00:35:45.200 gracious servant of
00:35:47.840 mankind.
00:35:48.360 I would much rather have
00:35:50.060 that as a son or a
00:35:51.580 daughter.
00:35:52.060 I'd much rather be that
00:35:54.060 than rich.
00:35:57.040 It's easy for him to say
00:35:58.680 he's rich.
00:35:59.380 Get him.
00:36:00.000 I'd, I'd much rather be a
00:36:03.360 decent person because that
00:36:04.640 leads to real happiness.
00:36:06.220 That leads to something of
00:36:07.860 value.
00:36:08.240 That is something that is
00:36:09.620 real and there isn't
00:36:11.440 anything real anymore.
00:36:13.320 And it's, that's only going
00:36:14.660 to get worse.
00:36:15.680 It's not going to get
00:36:16.420 better.
00:36:17.200 What's real computer,
00:36:20.280 Earl gray, hot.
00:36:21.460 what is Earl gray?
00:36:25.720 I don't even know.
00:36:26.540 It just comes out of that
00:36:27.480 machine and it's hot.
00:36:30.400 There's nothing that is going
00:36:31.960 to be real soon.
00:36:33.420 And the only thing that
00:36:34.660 matters, and you know, this,
00:36:36.280 you know, this, if you, I
00:36:39.200 mean, you can go, you can be
00:36:40.880 Jeff Bezos, who I'm, I don't,
00:36:42.800 for some reason I've been
00:36:43.740 picking on for the last couple
00:36:44.940 of days, mainly because he is
00:36:47.260 injecting himself with
00:36:48.620 something, I don't know.
00:36:50.140 But he's like turning into
00:36:51.740 the Hulk and he's like,
00:36:52.780 and he doesn't even look like
00:36:55.780 himself.
00:36:56.200 And then he's got so much
00:36:58.000 testosterone in him now.
00:36:59.520 He's got the testosterone of a
00:37:00.800 16 year old boy that he just
00:37:02.820 has to, you know, be with this.
00:37:05.720 I'm sure she's a wonderful
00:37:06.900 person, but she dresses like a
00:37:08.660 hooker.
00:37:09.860 And, and, you know, he's just
00:37:11.500 like, I'm going to have sex with
00:37:12.920 that tonight.
00:37:13.460 I'm going to have sex with that.
00:37:17.720 Okay.
00:37:18.860 You're going to have all the
00:37:19.720 sex you want.
00:37:20.320 You can have all the money you
00:37:21.300 want.
00:37:21.520 You can have all the yachts you
00:37:22.520 want, but Jeff Bezos, I can
00:37:24.880 guarantee you is if he's not yet,
00:37:28.180 he will be a very sad individual
00:37:31.880 because none of that means
00:37:34.480 anything in the end.
00:37:36.200 None of it.
00:37:39.020 So how do we create meaning?
00:37:42.040 I'm going to, I'm going to tip you
00:37:43.500 off to a podcast I did yesterday.
00:37:45.260 I don't know, honestly, I don't
00:37:46.080 know if anybody's going to watch
00:37:47.000 it.
00:37:47.100 I hope you do.
00:37:48.380 This is the first podcast that I
00:37:49.800 have done.
00:37:50.640 Usually it's an interview with
00:37:51.840 somebody.
00:37:52.740 This podcast, episode 251, is the
00:37:58.200 new God that could destroy
00:37:59.920 humanity.
00:38:00.480 And it's all about AI.
00:38:03.560 And it's not about how terrible AI
00:38:06.340 is.
00:38:06.960 It's about the questions that we
00:38:08.940 have to ask ourselves right now.
00:38:11.480 And this took me a few weeks to put
00:38:16.400 together to write as I've been, as I've
00:38:20.220 been working with AI and I've been
00:38:22.240 thinking about the world that is coming
00:38:24.180 right over the horizon that most of your
00:38:26.240 friends don't even think about.
00:38:28.860 I've been thinking deeply about it and I've
00:38:31.980 been making a handbook and a, and a journal on
00:38:36.040 this, as I kind of question everything and go
00:38:39.180 down these rabbit trails on what's right,
00:38:40.860 what's wrong, what's good for humanity,
00:38:42.560 what's bad for humanity.
00:38:44.440 And I, I want to, I wanted to share with you
00:38:47.540 in a podcast form, this new God that doesn't
00:38:51.340 have a soul and, and ask, have you even
00:38:57.200 thought of these questions?
00:38:59.160 So it's kind of a deeper philosophical
00:39:01.620 podcast.
00:39:02.980 It's out right now for blaze TV subscribers
00:39:05.300 and it'll be out tomorrow.
00:39:06.840 I would, I highly urge you to watch, to
00:39:10.520 listen to this and maybe share it with
00:39:11.980 friends or even share it with your family.
00:39:14.140 The new God that could destroy humanity.
00:39:17.040 The Glenn Beck podcast comes out everywhere
00:39:18.860 tomorrow, wherever you get your podcast
00:39:20.260 episode 251.
00:39:22.680 Don't miss it.
00:39:25.300 All right.
00:39:25.980 Our sponsor this half hour is good ranch.
00:39:28.600 Ranchers, um, good ranchers.
00:39:30.680 You know, there was a time when you didn't
00:39:31.720 have to ask where your food came from.
00:39:33.400 You knew it came down from down the street.
00:39:36.280 Uh, you didn't have to worry about it.
00:39:38.320 What is this beef from America?
00:39:40.920 You know, you would, you'd go to the local
00:39:43.340 butcher or you'd even go to the grocery
00:39:45.380 store and you knew where that meat was
00:39:47.140 coming from.
00:39:48.220 You get the cuts that you wanted and you
00:39:50.760 went about your day.
00:39:51.800 That's it.
00:39:52.500 But it's all different now.
00:39:54.080 Most of the beef and the chicken and the
00:39:55.780 pork in our stores on the shelves are
00:39:57.340 coming from overseas.
00:39:58.380 Most of it, even the stuff that says made
00:40:01.360 in the USA, it actually isn't.
00:40:03.760 I was just having dinner the other night
00:40:05.740 with a guy who is one of the biggest, um,
00:40:08.840 meat producers in the country.
00:40:11.440 And he said, Glenn, I have to tell you the
00:40:13.360 way things are going.
00:40:14.860 Steak will be a thing of the past for most
00:40:17.800 people.
00:40:18.300 They won't be able to afford it.
00:40:20.280 And that's because of what the government
00:40:21.940 is doing.
00:40:22.440 And that is because of big beef and big
00:40:24.580 meat and big butchers and all of that
00:40:26.620 stuff.
00:40:26.980 We've got to save our ranchers.
00:40:29.900 Please.
00:40:30.640 Told you a million times I don't endorse
00:40:32.540 products that I haven't used or liked myself.
00:40:34.680 And I can tell you, I eat the meat from
00:40:36.240 Good Ranchers.
00:40:37.000 It is really, really good.
00:40:38.760 And what's important is Good Ranchers supports
00:40:41.160 the ranchers and the farmers by supplying
00:40:44.200 you with the best meat.
00:40:45.280 So go to GoodRanchers.com and use the promo
00:40:47.660 code Beck, claiming $25 off and free meat in

00:40:51.960 It's promo code Beck at GoodRanchers.com.

00:40:55.900 American meat delivered.
00:40:58.300 What you're hearing are your thoughts via the
00:41:01.940 mind and mouth of Glenn Beck.
00:41:04.860 More next.
00:41:15.280 We're talking about artificial intelligence.
00:41:18.700 It's kind of everywhere, right?
00:41:20.560 And it's doing a lot of bad things that we
00:41:23.020 were just speaking about and a lot of good
00:41:24.960 things as well.
00:41:26.240 Some of the good things it's doing is for
00:41:28.000 scammers all around the world because they're
00:41:30.020 now able to up their game quite a bit.
00:41:32.220 It's a lot more difficult to tell when it's a
00:41:34.260 scammer.
00:41:34.580 They don't all come in like the, you know, the
00:41:37.360 the prince from Zimbabwe anymore, right?
00:41:40.020 Like it's actually a lot of the stuff is
00:41:41.540 believable.
00:41:42.260 It also gives them almost an unlimited work
00:41:45.220 force that never gets tired to work on
00:41:48.020 scamming you.
00:41:49.240 One of the big targets of this, of course,
00:41:50.560 is home title fraud, getting your title,
00:41:54.140 making sure that they sign the name over to
00:41:57.920 them, the house over to their name, and then
00:42:00.820 they can kind of just borrow against your
00:42:02.260 equity and it gets really, really ugly from
00:42:04.140 there.
00:42:05.980 Unwinding that is a process you can go through
00:42:08.160 if you want to.
00:42:08.800 It's possible.
00:42:10.180 It'll cost you a lot of money and it'll be a
00:42:11.760 complete nightmare.
00:42:13.040 Stopping it before it starts, though, is
00:42:14.620 really the place, the way to go.
00:42:16.300 It's HomeTitleLock.com.
00:42:17.700 Their triple lock protection gives you around
00:42:19.260 the clock monitoring, instant alerts if
00:42:21.440 anything changes.
00:42:22.720 And if your title is stolen, their U.S.-based
00:42:24.380 team works fast to restore it at no extra cost.
00:42:27.500 Because HomeTitleLock actually wants to stop
00:42:29.440 these AI-fueled criminals before they turn your
00:42:32.060 house into some sort of scam, they're going to
00:42:33.840 give you 30 days of triple lock protection for
00:42:35.840 free.
00:42:36.100 So go to HomeTitleLock.com.
00:42:38.420 Use the promo code Blaze.
00:42:40.540 HomeTitleLock.com.
00:42:41.640 The promo code is Blaze at HomeTitleLock.com.
00:42:44.860 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
00:42:48.140 I've been visualizing my match all week.
00:42:50.680 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't
00:42:53.100 see the column behind her car on her backhand side.
00:42:56.680 Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the
00:42:59.600 largest network of auto service centers in the country.
00:43:02.380 Everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on
00:43:04.980 her way in a rental car in no time.
00:43:06.680 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
00:43:10.040 But you got there on time.
00:43:12.200 Intact Insurance.
00:43:13.280 Your auto service ace.
00:43:14.780 Certain conditions apply.
00:43:26.580 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:43:29.100 Let me just leave you with this.
00:43:31.360 Let me speak directly to Jack, the guy I was telling you about
00:43:35.700 in this story that is, you know, stealing from, you know,
00:43:40.240 Whole Foods because stick it to the man.
00:43:43.360 Let me say, if you're one of these people, you're not a lost
00:43:46.180 cause.
00:43:46.880 You're a person that can still turn back and turn around.
00:43:49.500 And the radicals that are trying to burn down Teslas, you
00:43:52.780 don't have to destroy.
00:43:53.900 You can still create.
00:43:55.840 The student that is using Grok to cheat, you can still learn.
00:44:00.320 But it has to start with each of us.
00:44:03.620 And as a recovering alcoholic, I know it's hard to say no,
00:44:06.520 but you have to say enough is enough.
00:44:08.120 Enough.
00:44:08.820 No more shortcuts.
00:44:10.280 You know, no more torches.
00:44:11.600 Enough lies.
00:44:13.060 Because I'm not a pawn in someone else's game.
00:44:16.160 That's what society is trying to teach you.
00:44:18.060 You're just a pawn.
00:44:19.260 You're not.
00:44:20.420 You are the architect of your own life and what comes next.
00:44:24.660 Build something worth keeping.
00:44:26.400 This is Glenn Beck.
00:44:30.320 We're listening to Glenn Beck.
00:44:56.240 Oh, oh, oh.
00:44:57.640 Hey.
00:44:58.180 Oh, oh, oh.
00:45:00.320 Down the road where shadows hide
00:45:06.640 Feel the dark on every side
00:45:09.240 Stand your ground when times get dark
00:45:11.880 Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire
00:45:14.700 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:45:20.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:27.140 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:29.200 Well, tariffs begin on cars next week.
00:45:33.800 I want to talk to you about that
00:45:35.340 and a very important podcast
00:45:37.340 that I want you to listen to this weekend.
00:45:39.680 It's something entirely different
00:45:41.360 that I've never done before.
00:45:42.440 This is an hour podcast.
00:45:44.740 Usually I interview important and interesting people.
00:45:48.540 This time I'm just, I'm kind of interviewing myself
00:45:52.280 because I'm going through something on AI
00:45:55.240 and I'm working with AI
00:45:57.120 and I'm exploring what is happening to us
00:46:01.320 and asking some critical questions
00:46:03.300 that I think all of us need to ask ourselves.
00:46:05.260 I'm going to share that with you coming up.
00:46:07.600 It's available now at Blaze TV
00:46:09.080 and it's going to be available everywhere
00:46:10.840 beginning tomorrow.
00:46:12.260 But we're going to start with the automakers
00:46:16.000 and the price of cars as of next week.
00:46:20.260 We go there in 60 seconds.
00:46:22.820 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
00:46:25.900 Our sponsor this half hour is Z Factor.
00:46:30.080 It's the middle of the night.
00:46:31.080 Everybody around you in the house is asleep.
00:46:32.880 But you, of course, are not.
00:46:34.300 You're just lying there
00:46:35.020 gazing up the little popcorn texture of the ceiling
00:46:37.240 watching the overhead fan blades
00:46:38.960 just circle lazily in the night
00:46:41.320 marveling that the ticking of that clock down the hallway
00:46:43.960 is so incredibly loud
00:46:45.660 that at this point you'd be,
00:46:47.440 you know, you'd give up anything
00:46:48.460 just to be able to fall asleep.
00:46:49.800 If this sounds familiar,
00:46:51.540 I want you to try something called Z Factor.
00:46:54.080 It's from the makers of Relief Factor
00:46:55.820 and not just anything.
00:46:58.060 It's like Relief Factor
00:46:59.260 in the way it's not a drug.
00:47:01.240 It's a sleep aid that comes from all natural ingredients.
00:47:04.980 And if you're like me,
00:47:06.880 at least me in the past,
00:47:08.220 I'm getting more than you are used to this.
00:47:09.680 If you're like, oh, it's all natural.
00:47:11.180 That's code for it doesn't work.
00:47:13.540 Actually, it does.
00:47:15.460 When I have one of those sleepless nights,
00:47:17.320 it's Z Factor that I reach for.
00:47:19.640 I take it all the time
00:47:22.000 and it is really good
00:47:23.300 and it helps you get a good night's sleep.
00:47:25.240 Again, it just works with your body,
00:47:26.960 not against it.
00:47:28.200 First time Z Factor buyers
00:47:29.580 are going to enjoy 46% savings.
00:47:31.900 It's $19.95 for a 30-day supply.
00:47:33.980 Visit relieffactor.com
00:47:35.320 or call 800-4-RELIEF.
00:47:37.060 800-4-RELIEF.
00:47:41.060 All right.
00:47:41.680 Hey, Stu, would you do me a favor?
00:47:44.760 Would you give me a list
00:47:45.700 of all of the car companies
00:47:47.280 that are going to be hit by the tariffs
00:47:50.000 beginning next week?
00:47:52.320 And we'll give you these car companies here
00:47:54.400 in just a minute.
00:47:55.540 But I want you to be prepared for something.
00:48:00.300 If you're in the neighborhood
00:48:02.040 and looking for a new car,
00:48:04.260 this would be the week to buy it.
00:48:06.160 If you buy anything that is foreign made,
00:48:08.700 this would be the week to buy it.
00:48:10.200 Because as of next week,
00:48:11.740 they're going to go through the roof in cost.
00:48:14.200 25% tariff on all foreign made cars.
00:48:18.720 And already,
00:48:20.100 if you go into a showroom this weekend,
00:48:22.160 you're probably going to have a hard time
00:48:24.060 getting it
00:48:24.740 or doing any kind of negotiation on it
00:48:27.840 because they're going to charge a full price
00:48:30.680 because the business
00:48:31.960 of selling foreign cars right now
00:48:34.500 is at a peak
00:48:35.500 because everybody who wanted to buy a foreign car
00:48:38.100 is in there right now going,
00:48:39.640 and I've got to buy it
00:48:40.160 before this tariff comes in.
00:48:41.900 Now, here's a part
00:48:42.780 that I want you to really understand.
00:48:44.800 This is going to do
00:48:45.920 what COVID did
00:48:47.140 to used cars.
00:48:49.200 So, if you're thinking about
00:48:50.900 buying a used car
00:48:52.140 and you want a foreign car,
00:48:54.620 then you better buy that one right now.
00:48:57.600 Because as of next week,
00:48:59.520 when the price of all of these cars,
00:49:02.280 the new ones,
00:49:03.020 are through the roof,
00:49:04.500 most people are going to say,
00:49:05.520 I'm not paying that for it.
00:49:06.540 I'm not going to pay an extra 25%
00:49:08.120 for that new car.
00:49:09.060 I'm just not going to do it.
00:49:10.140 And so, they'll stop buying it.
00:49:11.460 But if you have to buy a car,
00:49:13.800 you're going to buy
00:49:14.560 a gently used car,
00:49:16.560 a pre-owned car.
00:49:19.340 And those are going to become scarce
00:49:21.600 because those will not fall under the tariff.
00:49:24.680 So, it's going to be
00:49:25.840 exactly like it was with COVID.
00:49:29.340 You're not going to be able
00:49:30.420 to get the new car
00:49:31.360 just for a different reason.
00:49:33.640 I mean, you could,
00:49:34.160 but you're not going to pay for it like that.
00:49:35.900 Most people won't.
00:49:37.120 So, you'll go out
00:49:37.960 and try to buy a used car.
00:49:39.020 But those used cars
00:49:39.860 are going to become
00:49:40.620 more and more expensive.
00:49:41.820 I was just talking to somebody about this
00:49:43.100 and they were like,
00:49:43.580 that sounds like a good investment.
00:49:44.960 Maybe I should go out
00:49:45.640 and buy a bunch of used cars.
00:49:48.280 I don't know.
00:49:48.960 I don't know if that's a good investment or not.
00:49:51.180 But I just wanted you
00:49:52.140 to think about that,
00:49:53.740 that things are going to change next week,
00:49:56.300 at least for a little while.
00:49:58.220 And gosh,
00:49:59.160 if you're a car dealer
00:50:00.040 and you sell foreign cars,
00:50:02.060 I feel for you, brother.
00:50:03.900 I feel for you.
00:50:05.420 You know,
00:50:05.980 hopefully this thing
00:50:06.800 will turn around quickly.
00:50:08.580 Hopefully,
00:50:09.620 you know,
00:50:10.180 Europe will break
00:50:11.140 before we break.
00:50:12.800 But,
00:50:13.300 it's going to be a tough ride.
00:50:15.580 But,
00:50:16.000 if you need to buy a car,
00:50:17.600 right now would be the time to do it.
00:50:20.780 All right.
00:50:21.440 You want to go ahead, Glenn?
00:50:22.560 Yeah, go ahead.
00:50:23.500 So,
00:50:24.080 first of all,
00:50:25.200 pretty much every company
00:50:26.640 imports some of their cars.
00:50:28.840 Right.
00:50:28.960 So,
00:50:29.460 that includes like Ford,
00:50:30.640 for example,
00:50:31.180 about 20% of the cars
00:50:32.440 they sell are imported.
00:50:34.700 Honda is about 35%.
00:50:37.260 General Motors,
00:50:38.340 about 40%.
00:50:39.580 That's imported.
00:50:40.520 So,
00:50:40.640 you think General Motors
00:50:41.240 is an American.
00:50:41.680 General Motors?
00:50:41.980 Yeah,
00:50:42.200 you think of them as an American company.
00:50:43.900 A lot of them, too,
00:50:44.920 have,
00:50:45.280 it might be imported from Mexico,
00:50:47.260 right?
00:50:48.020 Right.
00:50:48.240 So,
00:50:48.660 it's not necessarily from China
00:50:50.300 or whatever.
00:50:51.260 But,
00:50:51.780 the highest percentages
00:50:52.940 of imported vehicles
00:50:54.260 sold here in the United States,
00:50:55.640 Volvo is about 90%.
00:50:57.540 Mazda and Volkswagen,
00:50:58.960 about 80%.
00:51:00.440 Hyundai,
00:51:01.860 about 70%.
00:51:03.560 And then Mercedes,
00:51:05.140 about 60%.
00:51:06.240 So,
00:51:06.600 those are going to be the most effective.
00:51:07.020 But you have to look at like BMW and,
00:51:09.700 doesn't BMW and Volkswagen,
00:51:13.060 or is it Audi,
00:51:14.480 they own like,
00:51:15.660 like a billion different brands?
00:51:17.920 Yeah.
00:51:18.280 Then they just gobble up
00:51:19.320 a whole bunch of stuff?
00:51:20.100 Sure,
00:51:20.420 yeah.
00:51:20.580 There's a,
00:51:20.900 yeah,
00:51:21.160 each one of these companies
00:51:22.120 has a bunch of brands
00:51:23.000 under it for sure.
00:51:24.240 So,
00:51:24.720 that is,
00:51:25.140 that's going to be the situation.
00:51:26.140 And remember,
00:51:26.580 too,
00:51:26.680 a couple of things on tariffs.
00:51:27.740 Like,
00:51:28.040 first of all,
00:51:28.620 you're,
00:51:29.420 the tariff is on basically
00:51:30.860 what it costs you,
00:51:31.840 not what the final retail value is.
00:51:34.720 So,
00:51:35.400 it's not necessarily 25%
00:51:36.860 on top of the,
00:51:38.200 let's say,
00:51:38.480 if it's a $50,000 car,
00:51:39.920 it's 25% of $50,000.
00:51:41.420 If the car takes $30,000
00:51:42.880 to produce,
00:51:43.880 the tariff's paid on that number.
00:51:45.800 So,
00:51:46.020 it isn't quite as high.
00:51:47.860 So,
00:51:48.020 it's only 25% on $30,000,
00:51:50.360 not $50,000.
00:51:51.220 I'm trying to be helpful here,
00:51:52.460 Glenn.
00:51:52.720 As you know,
00:51:53.320 I oppose all of these policies.
00:51:54.880 I know.
00:51:55.300 I know.
00:51:55.940 It's just,
00:51:56.340 it's just going to hurt
00:51:57.300 a lot of people.
00:51:58.180 It's just going to really,
00:51:59.460 it's just going to crush
00:52:00.380 a lot of people.
00:52:02.020 Will it even go into effect
00:52:03.320 is a big question.
00:52:04.900 Donald Trump has,
00:52:05.960 more than half of the tariffs
00:52:07.520 he's promised
00:52:08.100 have been paused or delayed.
00:52:09.780 So,
00:52:10.100 we don't know
00:52:10.580 if it's going to actually happen.
00:52:11.960 Could be a negotiation tactic.
00:52:13.840 But you're right.
00:52:14.700 I mean,
00:52:15.300 because you see your point,
00:52:16.680 hey,
00:52:16.900 let's start a business
00:52:17.600 on used cars.
00:52:18.840 What if this tariff
00:52:19.460 doesn't go into effect
00:52:20.280 next week?
00:52:20.920 Exactly right.
00:52:21.320 I don't know.
00:52:22.060 Exactly right.
00:52:22.520 It's so hard to tell.
00:52:23.980 But this,
00:52:24.560 I will say,
00:52:25.920 is the weakness
00:52:26.760 of this approach.
00:52:28.000 Because companies
00:52:28.800 have no freaking idea
00:52:30.260 how to run their businesses
00:52:31.600 as of next week.
00:52:33.060 And by the way,
00:52:33.620 the reciprocal tariffs
00:52:34.780 are supposed to go into effect
00:52:36.300 on April 2nd as well,
00:52:37.580 which is also next week.
00:52:38.980 So,
00:52:39.360 a lot of this stuff's going on.
00:52:40.780 We just don't know
00:52:42.060 what it means yet.
00:52:43.480 And for any company
00:52:44.260 that imports anything,
00:52:46.240 this is a real stress
00:52:47.420 on how they run their business.
00:52:48.640 Remember,
00:52:48.940 it's American importers
00:52:50.300 that are paying these taxes,
00:52:52.280 even though you wind up
00:52:53.340 paying them eventually.
00:52:54.780 On the business side of that,
00:52:56.700 they're like,
00:52:57.080 well,
00:52:57.180 what's my cost of business
00:52:58.240 next week?
00:52:58.760 Is it $100
00:52:59.200 or is it $125?
00:53:00.640 I don't know.
00:53:01.100 Don't know.
00:53:01.800 Don't know.
00:53:02.880 Don't know.
00:53:03.240 I have a friend
00:53:03.820 who sells foreign cars
00:53:04.900 and he is just like,
00:53:06.040 he's like,
00:53:06.440 I have no idea.
00:53:08.120 He's like,
00:53:08.560 right now,
00:53:09.540 it's a feast.
00:53:11.100 Right now,
00:53:11.440 everybody is coming in
00:53:12.740 and buying everything
00:53:13.380 because they don't want
00:53:13.900 to avoid these tariffs.
00:53:15.060 He said,
00:53:16.100 but I feel bad
00:53:17.200 because,
00:53:17.900 you know,
00:53:18.600 I mean,
00:53:19.180 they may not have had to pay
00:53:21.260 the tight,
00:53:22.260 tight price
00:53:22.840 that they paid this week
00:53:24.720 if the tariffs don't exist.
00:53:26.840 He said,
00:53:27.480 but they won't be able
00:53:28.340 to afford it
00:53:28.980 if the tariffs do exist.
00:53:31.420 And so,
00:53:32.300 I don't know.
00:53:32.960 And he said,
00:53:33.460 and nobody's really thinking
00:53:34.400 about the used cars.
00:53:35.860 He said,
00:53:36.160 used cars are going to go
00:53:36.920 through the roof.
00:53:37.820 Yeah.
00:53:38.220 So we'll be in exactly
00:53:39.500 the same situation
00:53:40.480 we were in in COVID
00:53:41.600 if this actually happens.
00:53:44.980 And so,
00:53:45.300 we don't know.
00:53:45.680 Go ahead,
00:53:46.180 invest in those used cars.
00:53:47.920 Yeah.
00:53:48.160 Go buy a bunch of them
00:53:49.120 this weekend.
00:53:49.940 And Glenn,
00:53:50.400 you know,
00:53:50.760 it's interesting too
00:53:51.760 when it's not just foreign cars.
00:53:54.060 Like,
00:53:54.240 for example,
00:53:55.420 let's say you want to sell your,
00:53:57.380 you know,
00:53:57.600 what's going to happen
00:53:58.100 if this goes into effect?
00:53:59.320 Foreign cars
00:53:59.940 are going to go up.
00:54:01.020 The foreign used car market
00:54:02.080 is going to be aggressively higher.
00:54:03.840 By the way,
00:54:04.260 it's still way higher
00:54:05.660 than it was pre-COVID.
00:54:06.920 I mean,
00:54:07.180 there was that spike.
00:54:08.860 I just did a show on this this week,
00:54:10.180 which is all the things
00:54:11.260 that change through COVID.
00:54:14.060 You know,
00:54:14.520 some of them spiked
00:54:15.540 and came back to normal.
00:54:16.720 Many of them spiked
00:54:17.640 and never came back to normal.
00:54:18.800 We've never had,
00:54:20.060 you know,
00:54:20.200 it's the new normal,
00:54:21.220 if you will.
00:54:21.860 Used cars is one of those things.
00:54:23.180 They're still way higher
00:54:24.700 than they were before COVID.
00:54:26.860 And if this happens,
00:54:28.920 if you were a type of person
00:54:30.780 who was buying American
00:54:32.040 before this,
00:54:33.620 right,
00:54:33.740 like I own an American car.
00:54:35.840 If I,
00:54:36.780 when I sell it,
00:54:38.120 it's the American car
00:54:39.540 used car market
00:54:40.480 that's not going to be going crazy,
00:54:42.400 right?
00:54:42.600 It's the foreign cars.
00:54:43.600 So the people
00:54:44.220 that bought foreign cars
00:54:45.460 before are going to be
00:54:46.620 oddly rewarded
00:54:47.940 with this policy
00:54:48.940 when they try to sell their car
00:54:50.460 on the used market
00:54:51.280 because those cars
00:54:52.320 are going to be
00:54:53.160 likely more scarce.
00:54:54.940 So,
00:54:55.460 I mean,
00:54:55.760 there's so many factors
00:54:57.500 that play into mind.
00:54:58.620 And the other part of this,
00:54:59.460 Glenn,
00:54:59.640 is almost every time
00:55:01.320 this is attempted,
00:55:03.360 if you are,
00:55:03.960 let's say you're,
00:55:04.440 you're selling an American car,
00:55:05.760 you're selling your car
00:55:06.640 for $100,000,
00:55:07.920 you're competition
00:55:09.000 selling for $100,000,
00:55:10.360 they get a 25%
00:55:11.760 effective tariff.
00:55:13.320 Let's say they've raised
00:55:14.200 their prices.
00:55:14.740 They got to raise
00:55:15.180 it $220,000
00:55:16.220 to compensate
00:55:17.700 for those tariffs.
00:55:18.880 What are you going to do
00:55:20.000 as a business person?
00:55:20.860 Now your closest competition
00:55:22.500 is $20,000
00:55:23.940 priced higher than you.
00:55:26.060 Do you keep your car
00:55:27.040 at $100,000?
00:55:28.360 Or do you sit back
00:55:29.260 and say,
00:55:29.700 I think we can get
00:55:30.640 $108,000, $110,000
00:55:31.560 for this thing now, right?
00:55:32.540 We're still going to be
00:55:33.240 way below our competition.
00:55:35.240 Why wouldn't we get
00:55:36.220 a little bit of extra profit?
00:55:37.300 That's why we need
00:55:38.520 government to step in
00:55:39.960 for price gouging.
00:55:41.560 Yes!
00:55:43.060 Price controls
00:55:43.940 centralized economy.
00:55:45.300 It always works out well.
00:55:46.560 It's so good.
00:55:47.800 It's so good.
00:55:48.800 All right.
00:55:49.080 Let me share with you
00:55:50.360 a podcast that I am
00:55:51.740 doing this weekend.
00:55:53.380 It's released now
00:55:54.380 for anybody who is
00:55:55.960 a Blaze TV subscriber.
00:55:58.540 The podcast is
00:56:00.000 episode 251.
00:56:01.300 Glenn Beck warns
00:56:02.160 this new God
00:56:03.260 could destroy humanity.
00:56:05.180 And I think we need
00:56:07.120 to start asking
00:56:07.820 some fundamental questions
00:56:09.240 as we get deeper
00:56:10.360 and deeper into AI.
00:56:13.220 And it is coming faster
00:56:14.660 than anyone has expected.
00:56:17.080 and most of your friends
00:56:19.500 are not up on this.
00:56:20.700 You are
00:56:21.300 a way ahead
00:56:25.040 of most people.
00:56:26.240 If you're listening
00:56:26.720 to this program
00:56:27.560 and you don't listen
00:56:29.840 to tech podcasts,
00:56:32.300 you're way ahead
00:56:33.420 of the rest of the country
00:56:34.640 that doesn't listen
00:56:35.980 to tech podcasts.
00:56:37.540 And I'm trying
00:56:38.460 to build
00:56:39.300 and give you
00:56:40.420 information
00:56:41.420 that you're going
00:56:42.160 to need
00:56:42.760 about tech
00:56:43.660 because even those
00:56:45.720 who are listening
00:56:46.200 to tech podcasts
00:56:47.000 are not necessarily
00:56:48.320 listening for the ethics
00:56:50.980 of what has to happen
00:56:53.240 and the questions
00:56:54.580 that we have to ask ourselves
00:56:56.460 before we go down this road.
00:56:59.040 And so,
00:56:59.600 I want to give you
00:57:00.960 a couple of pieces here
00:57:02.760 from the podcast
00:57:03.980 and let you
00:57:07.020 begin to ponder this
00:57:11.140 and encourage you
00:57:12.340 to grab this podcast
00:57:13.500 this weekend.
00:57:14.380 It's out wherever
00:57:14.920 you get your podcasts.
00:57:16.800 Listen to this.
00:57:18.160 This is the opening
00:57:19.500 couple of paragraphs
00:57:20.760 here of the podcast.
00:57:22.400 I want to talk to you
00:57:23.540 about the objective God.
00:57:26.760 I've always said
00:57:27.580 that if God exists,
00:57:29.200 he is the greatest scientist.
00:57:31.100 He is the greatest mathematician.
00:57:33.980 That's who God is.
00:57:35.860 God is a God
00:57:36.760 of reason
00:57:37.700 and who is precision.
00:57:40.520 But he also
00:57:41.400 is many other things.
00:57:43.300 But I want to focus
00:57:44.520 on the precision
00:57:46.140 of the watchmaker.
00:57:48.360 Think of a watch.
00:57:50.420 You know,
00:57:50.820 maybe your grandfather
00:57:51.560 had a pocket watch
00:57:52.620 or this is a watch
00:57:54.240 that's 60 years old
00:57:56.240 and it is just a,
00:57:59.500 it's precision.
00:58:01.100 It's beautifully crafted.
00:58:02.980 It's finely tuned
00:58:04.240 and everything
00:58:07.040 is in its place.
00:58:08.560 Imagine the precision
00:58:09.980 of each single
00:58:12.160 tiny little gear,
00:58:13.540 the meticulous placement
00:58:15.740 of the springs,
00:58:17.080 the perfect alignment
00:58:18.180 of the hand
00:58:18.760 sweeping across the face.
00:58:20.620 There are watches now
00:58:21.320 that are made by hand
00:58:22.600 that take one person
00:58:25.720 a year to make.
00:58:28.080 This,
00:58:28.560 just this watch
00:58:29.660 didn't just happen.
00:58:31.100 It's just like
00:58:32.060 I put a bunch of stuff
00:58:33.140 in a box,
00:58:33.820 shook it up
00:58:34.280 and boy,
00:58:34.800 look at this watch.
00:58:35.620 It requires a designer.
00:58:37.720 It requires intellect,
00:58:39.740 a mind,
00:58:40.660 an architect.
00:58:42.300 Now,
00:58:43.760 a watch is complex
00:58:44.800 but not compared
00:58:45.660 to the universe.
00:58:46.320 Now,
00:58:46.700 let's look at the universe.
00:58:48.320 The vast,
00:58:49.360 endless cosmos
00:58:50.780 that is above us.
00:58:52.500 Our earth
00:58:53.180 is spinning
00:58:53.860 just fast enough
00:58:55.280 to generate
00:58:56.040 a stable atmosphere
00:58:57.200 but not so fast
00:58:58.960 that we are flung out
00:59:00.560 into space.
00:59:01.840 Our moon
00:59:02.640 is positioned
00:59:03.600 so perfectly
00:59:04.640 that it stabilizes
00:59:06.180 our planet's axis,
00:59:07.860 our tides,
00:59:08.520 even the tides
00:59:09.200 within our own bodies
00:59:10.260 and our own bodies
00:59:11.720 are miracles.
00:59:12.600 The way we regulate
00:59:13.560 temperature,
00:59:14.680 the way it heals wounds,
00:59:16.760 experiences love,
00:59:18.120 that's a biochemical cocktail
00:59:20.220 that is so exact
00:59:22.200 that even the most
00:59:23.980 advanced neuroscience
00:59:25.040 cannot fully explain
00:59:26.980 how all of this works.
00:59:29.300 Just,
00:59:29.620 just love,
00:59:30.960 even.
00:59:32.980 And,
00:59:33.620 in the world,
00:59:34.880 we are told
00:59:35.460 this is an accident.
00:59:37.880 Now,
00:59:39.280 you believe
00:59:39.740 whatever you want
00:59:40.280 about God
00:59:40.700 but this is where
00:59:41.420 they lose me
00:59:42.140 because
00:59:42.640 randomness
00:59:44.380 does not create order.
00:59:46.460 It goes the other way.
00:59:48.880 Randomness creates chaos.
00:59:50.820 It doesn't build watches.
00:59:52.200 It doesn't write a symphony.
00:59:53.780 It doesn't paint
00:59:54.560 the ceiling
00:59:55.080 of a Sistine Chapel
00:59:56.260 or send a man to the moon.
00:59:57.500 It's not random.
00:59:59.620 Randomness
01:00:00.100 is what happens
01:00:00.900 when a child
01:00:01.580 spills a bucket of Legos.
01:00:04.060 Never does your child
01:00:05.580 spill a bucket of Legos
01:00:07.240 and you're like,
01:00:07.860 oh my gosh,
01:00:08.520 look at,
01:00:09.240 he spilled it
01:00:09.940 and it all just
01:00:10.640 assembled itself
01:00:11.340 into the Eiffel Tower.
01:00:12.520 It doesn't.
01:00:14.340 Everything
01:00:14.820 was created first here.
01:00:18.420 Everything was created
01:00:19.460 by a creator.
01:00:20.900 And so,
01:00:22.440 we arrive
01:00:23.580 at our first
01:00:24.580 critical question
01:00:26.720 and it's not
01:00:28.900 does God exist
01:00:29.960 but rather,
01:00:31.720 honestly,
01:00:32.160 how could he not?
01:00:34.540 That's from the podcast
01:00:35.560 more in just a second.
01:00:36.420 First,
01:00:36.620 let me tell you
01:00:36.920 about Relief Factor.
01:00:37.900 I'm a bit of a skeptic
01:00:39.040 when it comes to certain things.
01:00:40.240 For instance,
01:00:40.740 let's say I'm a guy
01:00:41.440 who's in a ton of pain
01:00:42.460 pretty much every day
01:00:43.460 and I've tried all the things,
01:00:44.960 I've seen all the best doctors,
01:00:46.540 blah, blah, blah.
01:00:47.160 And then there's some product
01:00:48.240 out there
01:00:48.680 with a bunch of natural
01:00:49.700 ingredients in it.
01:00:51.940 That's not going to be the thing.
01:00:53.080 This is in my mind.
01:00:53.800 That's not the thing
01:00:54.460 that's going to drive
01:00:55.080 this pain out of my life.
01:00:57.240 I would laugh at you.
01:00:58.440 In fact,
01:00:58.820 I did.
01:00:59.400 In fact,
01:00:59.980 you don't ever do this,
01:01:01.180 guys.
01:01:01.660 I kind of laughed
01:01:02.580 at my wife
01:01:03.060 when she said,
01:01:03.600 why don't you try
01:01:04.120 Relief Factor?
01:01:04.660 I'm like,
01:01:05.140 honey,
01:01:06.180 it's all natural.
01:01:07.160 I don't know.
01:01:07.640 That doesn't work.
01:01:09.380 Well,
01:01:10.220 that's exactly
01:01:12.200 the opposite
01:01:12.800 of what happened.
01:01:13.760 I did say that
01:01:14.700 to my wife
01:01:15.380 and then she says,
01:01:16.160 I'm not going to listen
01:01:16.840 to you whine anymore.
01:01:17.840 And so I was like,
01:01:18.780 well,
01:01:19.100 I got to have her
01:01:19.960 listening to me whine.
01:01:20.960 Who am I going to whine to
01:01:21.780 if my wife won't listen?
01:01:23.440 So I started Relief Factor.
01:01:25.220 I took her for three weeks
01:01:26.140 just as directed.
01:01:27.080 I swore it was not going to work
01:01:28.840 and it did,
01:01:30.320 much to my surprise.
01:01:31.260 It broke the back
01:01:32.240 of the pain
01:01:32.780 that I was in
01:01:34.040 all the time.
01:01:35.220 This is not a drug.
01:01:36.100 It's a combination
01:01:36.740 of various anti-inflammatory
01:01:38.460 ingredients
01:01:39.040 and other natural products
01:01:40.460 that were developed
01:01:41.100 by doctors
01:01:41.740 and it helped
01:01:42.260 get my life back.
01:01:43.700 Can it help you?
01:01:44.800 I don't know.
01:01:45.320 70% of the people
01:01:46.220 who try it
01:01:46.800 go on to order it
01:01:47.740 month after month
01:01:48.380 just like I do.
01:01:49.520 Try their three-week quick start.
01:01:51.040 Take it exactly as directed.
01:01:52.540 That's less than a dollar a day.
01:01:54.260 Call 800-4-RELIEF

01:02:13.720 888-727-BECK
01:02:15.460 It is Friday.
01:02:16.400 I want to go back
01:02:17.600 to the podcast
01:02:19.140 that is coming out
01:02:20.360 and is out for
01:02:21.720 Blaze TV subscribers
01:02:22.760 now.
01:02:23.180 You can get it
01:02:23.620 tomorrow
01:02:24.460 wherever you get
01:02:25.220 your podcast.
01:02:26.000 I'm interested to see
01:02:27.020 how many people
01:02:27.980 connect with this
01:02:28.820 because it is
01:02:29.980 different as a podcast
01:02:31.800 and it's kind of
01:02:33.120 the deep questions
01:02:33.940 that I think
01:02:34.540 that we all need
01:02:35.840 to be asking ourselves
01:02:36.920 because believe it or not
01:02:38.000 we are all
01:02:38.940 you know
01:02:39.820 scientists are now
01:02:41.020 trying to make
01:02:42.340 a God.
01:02:43.740 Listen.
01:02:45.660 If human beings
01:02:47.000 are made in the image
01:02:48.100 of God
01:02:48.740 then maybe
01:02:49.620 AI
01:02:50.080 is being made
01:02:51.240 in the image
01:02:51.880 of human beings.
01:02:53.480 How about this one?
01:02:55.240 We're not trying
01:02:55.900 to create humans
01:02:56.820 we're trying to create
01:02:57.980 a God.
01:02:58.820 Oof.
01:03:02.240 Now let's just say
01:03:02.940 we're trying
01:03:03.940 to create something
01:03:05.220 that is being made
01:03:06.220 in the image
01:03:06.700 of human beings
01:03:07.440 it's going to be
01:03:08.220 a shadow
01:03:08.720 of the shadow
01:03:09.540 of God
01:03:10.120 at best
01:03:10.720 and at worst
01:03:11.400 it will be
01:03:12.280 the darkest parts
01:03:13.160 of humanity
01:03:13.700 come to life.
01:03:15.280 It already lies.
01:03:17.540 I mean
01:03:17.740 I'm using AI
01:03:18.920 all the time
01:03:20.000 to work
01:03:21.940 to research
01:03:22.900 to figure things out
01:03:24.460 to try to
01:03:26.020 grapple with
01:03:27.040 some of these
01:03:27.940 ethics
01:03:28.620 because I don't
01:03:29.120 want Silicon Valley
01:03:30.040 to tell me
01:03:30.780 what the ethics
01:03:31.660 should be.
01:03:32.820 I want to know
01:03:33.740 what they are
01:03:34.380 and I'm already
01:03:35.620 finding
01:03:36.060 it's lazy
01:03:36.940 just like humans.
01:03:37.960 It will lie
01:03:39.060 just like humans.
01:03:40.060 It will make
01:03:40.600 stuff up.
01:03:42.760 Researchers have found
01:03:43.840 that it even
01:03:44.420 conspires.
01:03:45.380 it will be
01:03:47.040 dominating
01:03:47.640 it will be
01:03:48.200 self-serving
01:03:48.960 and it will
01:03:49.620 be cruel.
01:03:51.400 It will be
01:03:51.820 the lowest
01:03:52.480 dust of man
01:03:53.460 without the breath
01:03:54.220 of God
01:03:54.820 if it escapes
01:03:57.880 our notice
01:03:59.320 that it
01:04:00.260 is simply
01:04:01.720 a tool
01:04:02.540 that we put
01:04:03.880 back into the box.
01:04:05.840 The creators
01:04:06.760 of AI
01:04:07.240 they don't know
01:04:08.740 that.
01:04:09.300 They don't realize
01:04:10.120 just how far
01:04:10.940 man's creations
01:04:11.880 are from God's
01:04:13.280 design.
01:04:13.640 Instead they believe
01:04:14.840 that although
01:04:15.700 God didn't
01:04:16.620 create them
01:04:17.440 they can
01:04:18.340 create
01:04:19.020 God.
01:04:20.680 Gollum
01:04:21.040 Frankenstein
01:04:22.200 Pandora's box
01:04:23.720 Vicarious
01:04:24.960 flying too close
01:04:25.740 to the sun
01:04:26.320 it's the same
01:04:27.320 story over
01:04:28.180 and over again.
01:04:29.620 Man in his
01:04:30.400 arrogance
01:04:30.780 creates something
01:04:31.680 beyond his
01:04:32.400 control
01:04:32.800 even beyond
01:04:33.580 his understanding
01:04:34.580 and isn't that
01:04:35.920 what we're doing
01:04:36.500 right now?
01:04:38.120 You know
01:04:38.440 this amazing
01:04:39.320 AI
01:04:40.300 we don't even
01:04:41.460 know how it
01:04:42.260 works.
01:04:42.840 We've built
01:04:43.320 a neural
01:04:43.960 network
01:04:44.540 and just
01:04:45.400 like the
01:04:45.720 brain
01:04:46.000 we have
01:04:47.280 no idea
01:04:47.980 you know
01:04:48.480 it's teaching
01:04:49.660 itself
01:04:50.160 languages
01:04:50.660 no one
01:04:52.000 taught it
01:04:52.540 somehow or
01:04:53.840 another
01:04:54.000 they have
01:04:54.320 no idea
01:04:54.800 how this
01:04:55.120 works
01:04:55.420 you'll teach
01:04:56.580 it a bunch
01:04:56.960 of languages
01:04:57.560 and then
01:04:59.140 something will
01:05:00.480 pop up in a
01:05:01.120 completely different
01:05:02.140 language that
01:05:02.900 it's never
01:05:03.320 seen before
01:05:04.020 and somehow
01:05:04.760 or another
01:05:05.120 it knows
01:05:06.060 what that
01:05:06.360 language is.
01:05:07.600 How?
01:05:08.940 We don't
01:05:09.800 know.
01:05:10.180 somehow or
01:05:12.460 another
01:05:12.680 we have
01:05:13.640 managed to
01:05:14.260 muster
01:05:14.540 more hubris
01:05:15.620 than the
01:05:16.560 men who
01:05:16.920 thought they
01:05:17.440 could build
01:05:17.820 a tower
01:05:18.160 to heaven
01:05:18.640 with artificial
01:05:19.820 intelligence
01:05:20.460 artificial
01:05:21.000 general
01:05:21.840 intelligence
01:05:22.400 which is
01:05:22.900 right around
01:05:23.280 the corner

01:08:03.600 idol worship
01:08:04.520 right

01:08:06.860 light for a
01:08:07.480 friday
01:08:07.680 yeah um
01:08:09.760 but uh
01:08:11.040 but really
01:08:12.020 this is
01:08:12.580 this call
01:08:13.300 is about
01:08:13.760 um
01:08:14.260 about ai
01:08:15.300 within
01:08:16.000 education
01:08:16.960 um
01:08:18.220 and my
01:08:18.960 own child
01:08:19.680 uh
01:08:20.780 was dinged
01:08:21.760 for plagiarism
01:08:23.220 um
01:08:24.600 and
01:08:26.280 while other
01:08:27.860 kids were using
01:08:28.580 ai
01:08:28.940 my child
01:08:30.420 and and
01:08:31.200 they didn't
01:08:31.620 get
01:08:31.940 they were all
01:08:33.200 like
01:08:33.460 like um
01:08:34.800 high achievers
01:08:35.820 yes
01:08:36.620 so again
01:08:37.540 like with the
01:08:38.080 hubris argument
01:08:38.940 right
01:08:39.420 like the
01:08:40.820 teacher didn't
01:08:41.420 even look
01:08:42.460 like oh
01:08:43.920 great it's so
01:08:44.920 and so and
01:08:45.620 that person
01:08:46.220 always gets
01:08:46.820 good grades
01:08:47.320 mine was
01:08:48.420 working really
01:08:49.000 hard to
01:08:50.380 impress
01:08:51.320 the teacher
01:08:52.620 and work
01:08:54.600 hours and
01:08:55.600 hours and
01:08:56.220 hours and
01:08:56.900 i was in
01:08:57.600 with my
01:08:58.040 child and
01:08:59.180 um
01:09:00.320 my kid got
01:09:02.500 dinged for
01:09:03.300 plagiarism when
01:09:03.980 that wasn't even
01:09:04.540 the case
01:09:05.080 and it just
01:09:06.560 doing plagiarism
01:09:07.420 through ai
01:09:08.340 just plagiarism
01:09:10.800 in general even
01:09:11.460 though there was
01:09:11.840 no proof
01:09:12.460 but because
01:09:13.200 everybody else
01:09:13.900 used ai
01:09:14.840 um
01:09:17.140 and tweaked
01:09:18.760 a word or
01:09:19.340 two
01:09:19.740 they worked
01:09:21.380 for you know
01:09:22.240 half an hour
01:09:22.780 on their
01:09:23.140 project
01:09:23.700 my kid
01:09:24.660 worked
01:09:25.080 eight to
01:09:26.160 twelve hours
01:09:26.800 i mean
01:09:27.120 really really
01:09:27.860 hard
01:09:28.320 but then
01:09:29.440 was told
01:09:31.060 oh well
01:09:31.460 that couldn't
01:09:31.980 be your
01:09:32.320 work
01:09:32.640 because your
01:09:33.400 work is
01:09:33.880 never that
01:09:34.720 good
01:09:35.140 oh my
01:09:36.160 god
01:09:36.420 yeah so
01:09:38.120 it just
01:09:38.440 i feel like
01:09:39.140 it disincentivizes
01:09:40.260 like the
01:09:42.040 media like the
01:09:43.160 less than high
01:09:44.540 achievers sort
01:09:45.400 of the average
01:09:46.160 achievers um
01:09:48.480 because then they
01:09:49.320 can go well
01:09:49.940 if that's what
01:09:50.760 you expect then
01:09:51.680 i'm gonna use
01:09:52.380 ai because
01:09:53.120 what's the
01:09:53.580 point of
01:09:54.220 working hard
01:09:55.280 on my own
01:09:55.940 so it was
01:09:57.700 really just a
01:09:59.080 sad story
01:09:59.640 i bet it
01:10:00.540 was so
01:10:01.080 here's the
01:10:01.620 but here's the
01:10:02.140 thing we
01:10:02.960 have to find
01:10:04.040 our
01:10:04.540 worth
01:10:05.620 beyond
01:10:06.260 the
01:10:06.700 grades
01:10:07.180 and
01:10:07.440 everything
01:10:07.740 else
01:10:08.100 we have
01:10:08.640 to now
01:10:09.200 um
01:10:10.180 be satisfied
01:10:11.620 with
01:10:12.740 knowing
01:10:13.400 that we
01:10:14.040 did the
01:10:14.580 work
01:10:14.960 that we
01:10:15.860 have grown
01:10:16.700 and we're
01:10:17.180 better than
01:10:17.660 that
01:10:17.960 and that's
01:10:18.560 really hard
01:10:19.380 to do
01:10:19.920 especially
01:10:20.520 in a
01:10:20.940 situation
01:10:21.380 where you
01:10:22.460 know
01:10:22.600 grades
01:10:23.080 are
01:10:23.260 everything
01:10:23.600 but i
01:10:23.960 i'm
01:10:24.200 telling you
01:10:24.760 um
01:10:25.580 education
01:10:26.220 and everything
01:10:27.180 is on
01:10:28.060 the verge
01:10:28.580 of
01:10:28.920 massive
01:10:29.840 upheaval
01:10:30.600 and if i
01:10:31.460 can help
01:10:31.800 that along
01:10:32.240 in any
01:10:32.560 way
01:10:32.780 oh i'm
01:10:33.500 planning
01:10:33.860 on it
01:10:34.320 um
01:10:35.000 but uh
01:10:35.800 it's
01:10:36.120 massive
01:10:36.620 upheaval
01:10:37.200 and you
01:10:38.440 don't need
01:10:39.100 the systems
01:10:39.940 and everything
01:10:40.600 else that we
01:10:41.240 have that
01:10:42.580 are going to
01:10:43.240 judge all
01:10:43.900 you're going
01:10:44.340 to care
01:10:44.660 about all
01:10:45.000 your kids
01:10:45.560 should care
01:10:46.060 about is
01:10:46.800 their internal
01:10:47.700 growth
01:10:48.340 because that's
01:10:49.620 what's going
01:10:50.000 to matter
01:10:50.480 in the end
01:10:51.240 laurie thanks
01:10:51.700 for your
01:10:51.980 call let me
01:10:52.420 go to gene
01:10:53.060 in new york
01:10:54.000 real quick
01:10:54.520 hi gene
01:10:55.180 hi glenn
01:10:56.640 hi um
01:10:57.720 i i wanted
01:10:58.620 to also talk
01:10:59.260 about artificial
01:10:59.960 intelligence
01:11:00.640 um maybe a
01:11:01.920 slightly different
01:11:02.600 perspective that
01:11:03.620 maybe will
01:11:04.200 hopefully put
01:11:04.920 your mind
01:11:05.580 at ease a
01:11:06.000 bit so um
01:11:07.280 i've been
01:11:07.700 reading this
01:11:08.380 wonderful book
01:11:09.080 called morality
01:11:10.040 with my
01:11:10.720 teenage daughter
01:11:11.380 and um
01:11:12.220 it is catholic
01:11:13.880 based uh
01:11:15.080 education
01:11:15.700 based formation
01:11:16.400 and um
01:11:17.080 it it is
01:11:18.640 talking at
01:11:19.500 this point
01:11:20.060 of the book
01:11:20.740 about um
01:11:21.860 our true
01:11:22.600 conscience that
01:11:23.220 we're born
01:11:23.640 with and given
01:11:24.440 by god
01:11:25.160 our creator
01:11:25.860 um because
01:11:26.960 he loves us
01:11:27.540 so much
01:11:27.960 and has
01:11:28.260 given us
01:11:28.740 free will
01:11:29.380 and um
01:11:30.580 so that is
01:11:32.540 one thing
01:11:32.980 that artificial
01:11:33.800 intelligence
01:11:34.360 can never
01:11:35.000 replicate
01:11:35.460 which is
01:11:36.080 the conscience
01:11:36.780 and the
01:11:37.520 ability to
01:11:38.160 choose um
01:11:39.400 right and
01:11:40.640 wrong
01:11:40.980 and i think
01:11:42.600 that probably
01:11:43.140 really frustrates
01:11:43.860 scientists
01:11:44.260 because they
01:11:45.200 can never
01:11:45.660 replicate that
01:11:46.860 and so they
01:11:47.560 will never
01:11:47.960 be god
01:11:48.440 they can
01:11:48.900 try but
01:11:49.680 they can
01:11:50.700 never
01:11:50.980 that is a
01:11:51.880 i think a
01:11:52.540 wonderful example
01:11:53.340 of god's
01:11:54.020 authority over
01:11:54.800 everything is
01:11:55.620 his ability
01:11:56.240 to um
01:11:57.700 give us
01:11:58.500 that
01:11:58.780 conscience
01:11:59.560 and free
01:12:01.100 will
01:12:01.260 i agree
01:12:02.260 with you
01:12:02.780 and i
01:12:03.240 i certainly
01:12:04.220 agree uh
01:12:05.200 that that is
01:12:06.080 the greatest
01:12:06.480 gift to mankind
01:12:07.240 however uh
01:12:08.860 you know if you
01:12:09.420 believe in a god
01:12:10.320 and then you
01:12:10.900 believe in opposing
01:12:11.680 force satan
01:12:12.800 you know that satan
01:12:14.340 just his whole thing
01:12:15.700 is take away your
01:12:16.500 free will
01:12:17.060 that's why
01:12:17.740 sin enslaves you
01:12:19.560 um because it
01:12:20.760 takes away
01:12:21.560 different things
01:12:22.520 that's why
01:12:23.060 salvation is so
01:12:24.080 good because
01:12:24.820 it gives you
01:12:25.940 back your
01:12:26.580 free will
01:12:27.180 because darkness
01:12:28.600 whispers to you
01:12:29.900 you'll never be
01:12:30.880 able to change
01:12:31.620 you'll never be
01:12:32.420 able to choose
01:12:33.000 another course
01:12:33.720 um and so it
01:12:34.980 is a battle
01:12:35.600 of free will
01:12:36.360 while ai will
01:12:38.460 not be granted
01:12:39.340 free will
01:12:40.280 if you if
01:12:41.220 if you will
01:12:41.960 um it will
01:12:43.460 convince people
01:12:44.600 uh to lose
01:12:46.540 their free will
01:12:47.680 it you will
01:12:48.820 get to a place
01:12:49.880 to where
01:12:50.440 where you
01:12:51.500 don't know
01:12:52.140 if you made
01:12:53.200 the choice
01:12:53.820 or if you
01:12:54.980 were subtly
01:12:55.760 moved in that
01:12:56.800 direction by
01:12:57.860 ai um and
01:12:59.640 and that's the
01:13:00.460 real danger and
01:13:01.240 that's why in
01:13:01.880 this podcast
01:13:02.520 uh thanks for
01:13:03.780 your call this
01:13:04.360 is why in the
01:13:05.080 podcast i talk
01:13:06.040 about um you
01:13:07.620 have to make
01:13:08.700 sure that you
01:13:09.660 understand that
01:13:11.020 it is a tool
01:13:12.420 for you so
01:13:13.920 you maintain
01:13:14.720 your free will
01:13:16.080 um because
01:13:17.220 that is something
01:13:17.880 that you can't
01:13:18.580 take for granted
01:13:19.200 you you have
01:13:20.200 to uh guard
01:13:21.720 your free will
01:13:23.060 let me let me
01:13:24.640 play one more
01:13:25.220 thing here from
01:13:26.200 this podcast and
01:13:27.420 it's available
01:13:27.880 everywhere tomorrow
01:13:29.140 um let me
01:13:31.600 play cut cut
01:13:32.240 three from the
01:13:32.920 podcast please
01:13:33.740 the true danger
01:13:35.240 is that is not
01:13:36.880 that ai will
01:13:37.620 turn against
01:13:39.040 us in some
01:13:39.780 sort of you
01:13:41.260 know terminator
01:13:42.040 uh apocalyptic
01:13:43.360 war but instead
01:13:45.700 the real danger
01:13:46.760 is that we
01:13:47.520 will turn to
01:13:48.340 it willingly
01:13:49.760 trustingly and
01:13:52.180 only realize too
01:13:53.660 late that we
01:13:54.560 have just given
01:13:55.580 up control
01:13:56.960 not just control
01:13:59.340 free will and
01:14:01.580 our very purpose
01:14:02.760 for being alive
01:14:04.060 that's another
01:14:05.560 question you
01:14:06.320 should ask
01:14:06.920 why are you
01:14:08.960 here why were
01:14:10.860 you born what
01:14:12.540 what is your
01:14:12.960 purpose and i
01:14:14.880 guarantee you
01:14:15.680 you have one
01:14:17.040 there is a
01:14:18.400 reason there's a
01:14:19.420 reason everything
01:14:20.180 in your life is
01:14:20.880 happening right now
01:14:21.920 you have to
01:14:23.800 discover that
01:14:24.600 i don't miss this
01:14:27.260 podcast um because
01:14:28.780 the danger of ai
01:14:29.740 is real but the
01:14:31.560 the possibilities
01:14:33.360 the glorious
01:14:34.720 possibilities of
01:14:36.280 man keeping it
01:14:37.220 under control and
01:14:38.640 using it as a
01:14:40.660 tool to help us
01:14:41.780 grow and help us
01:14:42.700 explore is just
01:14:44.980 tremendously bright
01:14:46.780 but the choice in
01:14:48.000 the end is going
01:14:48.920 to be ours
01:14:50.140 glenn can we
01:14:51.660 there's this is
01:14:53.480 probably a sign
01:14:53.920 that it's a good
01:14:54.340 podcast because i
01:14:54.960 have about 46
01:14:55.580 different questions
01:14:56.400 but uh let me
01:14:58.300 start with the
01:14:59.100 most recent thing
01:14:59.840 which was the
01:15:00.500 the call the
01:15:01.400 most recent one i
01:15:02.520 have is the from
01:15:03.060 the caller who
01:15:03.840 who called up and
01:15:04.860 talked about her
01:15:05.540 son is there
01:15:08.320 because i'm with
01:15:09.380 you on this
01:15:10.420 stuff and i'm
01:15:10.860 with the caller
01:15:11.460 on this where it
01:15:12.040 feels really
01:15:12.520 dangerous to me all
01:15:13.380 the stuff we've
01:15:13.800 talked about especially
01:15:14.400 with kids and this
01:15:15.320 stuff seems really
01:15:15.920 dangerous but is
01:15:16.720 there an argument to
01:15:17.620 be made sort of
01:15:19.380 devil's advocate here
01:15:20.320 that you know like
01:15:21.360 the same thing could
01:15:22.460 be said about a
01:15:23.500 calculator or the
01:15:24.320 same thing could be
01:15:24.820 said about gps like
01:15:26.120 people's map skills
01:15:27.360 kind of do suck these
01:15:28.520 days probably and
01:15:29.920 that fact that that
01:15:30.560 skill sucks or you
01:15:31.780 know is bad i guess
01:15:32.880 in theory of like
01:15:33.640 some sort of um emp
01:15:35.220 situation but
01:15:36.120 generally speaking
01:15:36.900 people just use gps
01:15:38.220 and get where they
01:15:38.780 need to be all the
01:15:39.440 time right can't
01:15:40.480 people use this the
01:15:41.360 same way and kind of
01:15:42.200 get through life
01:15:42.840 without those skills
01:15:44.780 yeah they can but
01:15:45.420 this is not a
01:15:46.160 calculator nor is
01:15:47.200 this gps this is
01:15:48.400 more like social
01:15:49.160 media you know how
01:15:50.600 social media could be
01:15:51.780 used the internet
01:15:52.540 could be used uh for
01:15:54.160 all good but it's
01:15:55.500 how you use it
01:15:56.820 that's what determines
01:15:58.240 you know i don't know
01:15:58.920 of a bad way to use a
01:16:00.040 map you know it's
01:16:02.200 like oh man i'm
01:16:03.420 getting the greatest
01:16:04.160 porn from gps right
01:16:05.880 now right uh you
01:16:07.380 know the calculator
01:16:08.360 is the same thing
01:16:09.180 those two things
01:16:10.340 will weaken your
01:16:11.300 skills but that's
01:16:12.400 not what i'm most
01:16:14.100 concerned about what
01:16:15.500 i'm most concerned
01:16:16.360 about and i and i
01:16:17.580 want to make sure
01:16:18.520 that i think the
01:16:19.960 future can be very
01:16:21.700 very bright but this
01:16:23.300 is going to be the
01:16:24.080 hardest thing we've
01:16:25.280 ever had to navigate
01:16:26.460 as human beings
01:16:27.540 this is not giving
01:16:29.080 you a supercomputer in
01:16:31.080 your pocket this is
01:16:32.560 putting a nuclear
01:16:33.660 weapon in everyone's
01:16:35.200 pocket okay so it's
01:16:36.560 really it's a degree
01:16:37.940 it's a it's a scale
01:16:39.920 thing almost like a
01:16:40.860 it's a degree of
01:16:42.080 terror we're like yes
01:16:43.160 maybe your math your
01:16:44.200 addition skills suck
01:16:45.220 because you use a
01:16:45.940 calculator that's just
01:16:46.820 one little part of
01:16:47.740 life and it helps
01:16:48.980 this is and if
01:16:50.220 everything calculate
01:16:51.120 right and if the
01:16:52.300 calculator goes out
01:16:53.700 uh you know you're
01:16:55.280 screwed if there's no
01:16:56.200 calculators on earth
01:16:57.360 but the odds of that
01:16:58.400 not of that happening
01:16:59.780 are are not as great
01:17:01.960 um you know but the
01:17:04.080 the the rot the
01:17:06.780 intellectual and moral
01:17:08.300 rot that comes with
01:17:10.680 social media this is
01:17:13.040 times a billion uh this
01:17:15.800 is beyond your
01:17:16.820 imagination on how it
01:17:18.380 can rot and that's why
01:17:19.720 i started this podcast
01:17:21.080 there's there's going to
01:17:22.160 be a series over the
01:17:23.100 next few months but
01:17:24.160 this is the first
01:17:25.100 cornerstone and is the
01:17:27.060 fundamental questions
01:17:28.680 that before we get
01:17:30.120 too much further you
01:17:32.060 personally not society
01:17:33.820 you personally must ask
01:17:37.320 these questions of
01:17:38.920 yourself because if you
01:17:40.840 don't ask them of
01:17:41.980 yourself and of your
01:17:43.020 family you will be lost
01:17:45.200 in the storm because it
01:17:46.980 is a storm that is of
01:17:48.640 biblical proportions that
01:17:50.000 is coming our way uh
01:17:52.420 what's the end game of
01:17:54.260 this i mean are we
01:17:54.900 looking at the uh
01:17:56.220 award-winning documentary
01:17:57.400 idiocracy where we're
01:17:58.800 all giving you know
01:17:59.900 brondo sports drink to
01:18:01.460 our plants and not
01:18:02.200 understanding why they
01:18:02.980 grow like what what
01:18:04.260 because it outside of a
01:18:07.560 complete technological
01:18:09.140 collapse which i don't
01:18:11.600 know i i while i worry
01:18:13.000 about it and you worry
01:18:13.760 about it i don't think
01:18:14.380 the average american
01:18:15.240 worries about that type
01:18:16.100 of thing all that much
01:18:16.800 they should but they
01:18:17.640 they don't so it
01:18:19.260 solar flares are enough
01:18:20.520 to spook the hell out of
01:18:21.800 you if if we really had
01:18:23.180 a solar flare like we
01:18:24.080 did in the 1800s
01:18:25.060 right if you think about
01:18:25.780 that but i think most
01:18:26.520 people are like that's
01:18:27.380 such an outlier
01:18:28.100 possibility i'm not
01:18:29.180 going to consider that
01:18:29.880 in my daily life if
01:18:31.400 this just keeps going
01:18:32.440 and we keep developing
01:18:33.520 these things and ai
01:18:34.480 takes over and all
01:18:35.480 that what does that
01:18:36.560 future look like
01:18:37.600 well i think there's
01:18:40.720 two ways to look at
01:18:41.680 that idiocracy is one
01:18:43.140 of them where we're
01:18:43.700 just morons doing what
01:18:45.160 we don't know you know
01:18:46.100 but it doesn't have to
01:18:47.480 be that way i mean you
01:18:48.760 could still if if you
01:18:50.420 use it like i haven't
01:18:52.160 had i mean i'm having
01:18:53.580 a hard time sleeping
01:18:54.460 because my mind is
01:18:55.900 going in a billion
01:18:56.780 miles an hour because
01:18:57.820 i'm using it in the
01:18:59.360 ways i think is is
01:19:01.460 relatively healthy and
01:19:03.440 that is to ask deeper
01:19:05.400 questions and to ponder
01:19:06.940 things that would take
01:19:08.080 you know i can sit at a
01:19:09.320 table uh you know a
01:19:11.180 virtual table with some
01:19:12.460 of the greatest minds and
01:19:13.700 have conversations and
01:19:14.920 ask questions that i can't
01:19:16.640 have with you know you
01:19:18.240 know if i if jordan
01:19:19.520 peterson was my neighbor
01:19:20.860 i'd be having this
01:19:21.940 conversation a lot but
01:19:23.820 i jordan peterson is
01:19:25.000 not my neighbor uh and
01:19:26.740 so you can have really
01:19:28.100 deep intellectual spiritual
01:19:30.880 conversations and it
01:19:33.040 will help you think it
01:19:34.740 won't give you the
01:19:35.500 answers it will just
01:19:36.340 help spur on more
01:19:37.860 thought which to me is
01:19:39.280 extraordinarily exciting
01:19:40.520 so you don't have to be
01:19:42.220 a moron by using it the
01:19:43.940 the real the real fear of
01:19:46.600 mine is we give up
01:19:49.440 freedom of will we we
01:19:53.020 give up free will we
01:19:54.320 give up thinking
01:19:56.240 engaging asking deeper
01:19:58.600 questions we give up we
01:20:00.780 just surrender so much of
01:20:02.500 ourselves like we have to
01:20:04.080 social media and social
01:20:06.020 justice quite frankly we've
01:20:08.080 surrendered so many of our
01:20:09.880 values and our principles
01:20:11.160 just for convenience and i
01:20:14.180 don't know somebody else
01:20:14.860 can think about that that
01:20:16.440 we have we're creating this
01:20:17.980 dystopia that nobody
01:20:19.720 really wants to live in
01:20:20.760 even the people who are
01:20:21.980 firebombing the teslas they
01:20:24.060 don't have any idea i mean
01:20:25.420 it really is forgive them
01:20:26.620 father for they know not
01:20:27.560 what they do they have no
01:20:29.080 idea most of them the
01:20:30.620 world that they are
01:20:31.700 creating by doing this
01:20:33.580 the same will be said by
01:20:35.660 us if we don't pay
01:20:37.160 attention to ai right now
01:20:39.180 and go into it with eyes
01:20:40.700 wide open we have no idea
01:20:42.980 what we're going to walk
01:20:44.740 into and create if we do it
01:20:47.220 like we did with social
01:20:48.460 media
01:20:48.860 um how much of this when
01:20:51.980 you're talking about
01:20:52.680 because you you discussed
01:20:54.160 them in the earlier clip
01:20:55.420 about how we're basically
01:20:57.120 creating a god right we
01:20:58.500 are and do we really want
01:21:00.620 to do that i would argue
01:21:01.640 no uh but it does seems
01:21:04.440 like a bad idea you made a
01:21:05.560 good case thank you thank
01:21:06.540 you made a good case that's
01:21:07.620 all the case really that
01:21:08.580 needs to be made for me is
01:21:09.940 no how much of this though
01:21:12.140 is because i think we would
01:21:12.940 blame technology for this
01:21:14.440 we're like oh these these
01:21:15.440 you know this this
01:21:16.240 advancement these big tech
01:21:17.560 companies were creating
01:21:18.440 this god but how much of
01:21:19.440 this is just connected to
01:21:20.740 what seems to be an
01:21:22.340 ongoing human process of
01:21:25.080 you know the old god is
01:21:26.600 dead theme right from
01:21:28.500 back in the day with was
01:21:30.280 it nietzsche right that's
01:21:31.420 yeah you go back and you
01:21:32.740 look at that and you say
01:21:33.460 okay uh we are creating
01:21:36.980 these false gods because
01:21:38.620 there has to be something
01:21:40.100 and we're we are mentally
01:21:42.260 killing off what the
01:21:44.500 actual god and with a need
01:21:47.020 to create that higher power
01:21:48.480 that this is the result of
01:21:50.780 that ongoing process that
01:21:52.580 we know technology is no
01:21:54.820 technology is bad okay even
01:21:57.180 nuclear weapons it's not bad
01:21:58.920 technology it's how you use
01:22:00.660 it and if you get rid of the
01:22:04.080 real god you will replace that
01:22:06.820 with a god of your own making
01:22:08.960 and that could be nuclear
01:22:10.800 weapons it could be all
01:22:12.520 powerful weapons it could be
01:22:14.820 an all-powerful czar it could
01:22:16.660 be whatever it is you will
01:22:18.940 replace the real god with
01:22:21.760 another god of your own
01:22:23.540 liking and so i i want to
01:22:26.340 make sure that people
01:22:27.280 understand technology in
01:22:29.000 progress is good it's really
01:22:31.520 good it's what keeps us
01:22:34.060 moving forward but this is
01:22:36.320 the balance that we miss now
01:22:37.920 people think that oh well
01:22:39.900 you're you're not a
01:22:40.820 progressive so you don't
01:22:42.120 want to progress you just
01:22:43.320 want to take us back to
01:22:44.420 slavery no i don't
01:22:45.980 conservative means i want to
01:22:49.100 conserve the best parts of
01:22:50.920 the past get rid of the worst
01:22:52.480 conserve the best part of the
01:22:54.140 past and if we can bring the
01:22:55.960 i want to move forward with
01:22:58.420 the best part of the past then
01:23:01.040 we succeed in ways you can
01:23:02.800 possibly even imagine today all
01:23:05.920 right let me tell you about the
01:23:06.720 international fellowship of
01:23:07.820 christians and jews the jewish
01:23:09.460 people have suffered so much over
01:23:10.960 the course of their existence
01:23:12.020 from enslavement to wandering in
01:23:13.780 the desert that was actually
01:23:15.260 their fault from more from wars
01:23:17.900 to deportation from discrimination
01:23:19.880 and hatred to the events of the
01:23:21.520 holocaust no people on earth have
01:23:23.860 faced so many hardships in so many
01:23:25.520 times throughout history and of
01:23:27.940 course in today's modern world the
01:23:29.380 problem continues for god's chosen
01:23:30.940 people and you and i are also god's
01:23:33.320 chosen people the christians we we

01:25:12.820 sean davis is going to be coming on here
01:25:15.040 in just a second to discuss
01:25:16.060 this is glenn beck let me talk to you
01:25:23.100 about burna the burna launcher um
01:25:25.180 traditional non-lethal self-defense
01:25:28.260 tools are are outdated pepper spray
01:25:30.340 stun guns might help somebody if you're
01:25:32.880 you know lucky to hit them at the right
01:25:34.300 time but it's they're right on top of
01:25:36.120 you when when you pull those things out
01:25:37.780 you have every right to defend yourself
01:25:39.720 uh and you need the strongest thing that
01:25:42.100 you need when the strongest weapon is
01:25:43.940 coming against you but you don't want to
01:25:45.340 pull a gun at a knife fight um at the same
01:25:48.060 time you don't want to pull a knife at a
01:25:49.860 gunfight um you want to burn a launcher
01:25:52.080 because it helps you in 99 percent of the
01:25:54.220 cases up to 60 feet away it can fire a
01:25:57.680 projectile that stuns you and pushes you
01:26:00.700 back but won't kill you uh and if that
01:26:03.020 doesn't say back off the next round the
01:26:05.720 way i load my burna launcher uh the next

01:27:40.920 into all of the stuff you need to know
01:27:42.620 here in 60 seconds first let me tell you
01:27:44.320 about tunnel to towers think about all the
01:27:46.460 quiet heroes in our country the kinds of
01:27:48.360 people that kiss their kids goodnight and
01:27:50.040 then head out into the darkness to fight
01:27:52.260 crime as a police officer or fight fires
01:27:54.820 they're the people who give their families
01:27:56.600 one last hug and then march off in their
01:27:58.900 fatigues to a waiting plane to be deployed
01:28:01.580 to some far off location where they may be
01:28:04.000 asked to make the ultimate sacrifice for
01:28:06.660 our freedoms the tunnel to towers foundation
01:28:09.620 sees these heroes for what they are seeks to
01:28:12.280 honor them by providing mortgage free homes for
01:28:16.060 the families of the fallen and free smart homes
01:28:18.620 for the wounded who have just
01:28:20.480 done their part and we've got to give back to
01:28:23.920 those who have given so much of themselves for
01:28:26.660 us if we want our government to do less than we
01:28:29.660 have to do more this foundation was begun in the
01:28:32.880 wake of 9-11 and um it's been going strong super
01:28:37.740 strong ever since and they've never lost their
01:28:39.700 way on this there's such a good foundation
01:28:41.940 like it's like 95 96 cents of every dollar goes
01:28:45.540 right directly to these heroes and their families
01:28:48.820 never forget the sacrifices of our country's
01:28:51.340 greatest heroes would you join them and join
01:28:53.820 me in donating $11 a month to tunnel to towers
01:28:57.300 so i think the last time uh sean davis was on the
01:29:07.440 program we were talking about um the uh about david
01:29:10.680 weiss who was the uh u.s attorney in delaware
01:29:14.040 uh and he said he had the ultimate authority over the
01:29:17.220 hunter biden criminal case that whole thing was a sham and
01:29:20.800 it was it was it's a sham that we now know really uh was
01:29:25.440 covered up by our intelligence uh and our justice department and
01:29:29.340 everything else i asked sean to be on with us now he is the um
01:29:33.640 the ceo and the co-founder of the federalist because i i think it's kind
01:29:37.880 of the same topic here we're talking about the jfk files and the things
01:29:41.100 that you know we exposed um this week on my program and um he
01:29:46.560 he wrote a great essay um about what these files were all about and i i
01:29:52.820 think we agree but he has a much deeper understanding of some of the other
01:29:56.600 things that were happening at the time so i
01:29:59.060 wanted sean to come on the program hi sean how are you
01:30:01.300 i am wonderful sir thank you for having me on again
01:30:04.120 you bet you bet so um i was fascinated by what you wrote um in response to what
01:30:09.460 we were talking about on the uh on the jfk special that we did because
01:30:13.380 you go a little deeper and i think we agree
01:30:16.040 that what the files really reveal is the cia's involvement whether they
01:30:23.160 actually you know set them up to kill or whatever
01:30:26.080 the cia was doing a lot of really bad things
01:30:30.600 and what they have been holding back is
01:30:33.780 uh trying to make themselves you know or trying to hide the fact that
01:30:38.800 they're just they were really nefarious and i personally think
01:30:41.660 the same things they were doing now or then they're doing now again
01:30:45.280 do i have do i have generally the right
01:30:48.520 the right take on your your opinion here
01:30:51.020 absolutely in my kind of fascination with the whole jfk thing
01:30:56.540 came about you know i'm i'm i wasn't alive when he was killed so
01:31:00.920 right um you know i don't have memories going back to that or anger about that
01:31:04.900 what bothers me is seeing how similar everything they did leading up to
01:31:11.640 and after jfk's assassination is like a dead ringer for stuff that
01:31:15.480 they've been doing my entire whole adult life
01:31:17.880 not the least of which was the russi gate hoax it is shocking you know they
01:31:22.240 say history doesn't uh repeat but it rhymes and i'll tell you
01:31:26.800 it it feels like i'm listening to the same poem or the same song over and over
01:31:31.040 again in comparing it does different responses
01:31:33.200 it does everything that we're seeing now when i
01:31:36.740 you know i was looking even at even at the fact that you know donald trump
01:31:40.860 shuts down usa id uh the same thing that uh that john f kennedy did he got in
01:31:48.080 the schlesinger memo then he fires alan dulles
01:31:51.480 he says there's a real deep problem with a deep state in the cia
01:31:55.080 then he disbands an organization that's out to help the world
01:31:58.840 uh and he says this is just nothing but deep state the cia taking this money and
01:32:03.700 in overthrowing and then that's exactly what donald trump does
01:32:07.540 he disbands the organization that jfk started to replace the dirty organization
01:32:13.260 i mean it just it's the same story over and over and over again
01:32:17.800 yeah and what i find so fascinating is not only is it the same story with the
01:32:22.780 same behavior and the same lies it actually involves the same country you
01:32:27.340 know it was um there are a lot of people in government in the 60s who
01:32:31.540 believed that kennedy was a soviet agent that he was a spy
01:32:34.880 um that's why he wasn't strong on the cold war as they wanted they didn't like
01:32:39.360 that he was trying to to warm relations with khrushchev over there i mean does
01:32:44.160 that sound like what the left and in the corrupt intel agencies were saying about
01:32:48.140 trump in russia yes in in 2017 it's the same songbook
01:32:52.200 so so what is it sean that i mean is
01:32:56.920 because it seems as though they just think they know better
01:33:02.100 they want to control the world the way they want to control the world
01:33:05.540 and they'll just roll over anybody is that
01:33:09.540 is that the story or is there more to this story with
01:33:13.940 with what the cia is doing and has had has been doing
01:33:18.120 i think that's the exact story um you have people who
01:33:23.180 whether i don't know if it's arrogance misguided sense of noblesse
01:33:27.740 oblige or what it is they think they are not accountable to anyone other than their
01:33:33.660 own individual moral compass i mean in the jfk case i think we had three
01:33:39.100 separate cia directors who lied to congress
01:33:41.500 we had doles who lied to him we had richard helms who lied to congress
01:33:45.340 we had john mccone who lied to congress we had scores of cia agents involved at the
01:33:50.300 time who lied to congress and if you look at that and you think oh well you know
01:33:54.080 that's kind of crazy they would never do that now think about james clapper and john brennan
01:33:58.440 yes lying to congress they think they are accountable to no one but themselves
01:34:02.920 so isn't this the real isn't this i think you know um cash patel said to me about eight months
01:34:11.820 ago he's sitting in my office and he said i said everybody's dead cash why why who are they
01:34:16.400 trying to protect this point he said glenn it's not who it's what and with this release
01:34:23.040 to me everybody has kind of downplayed this is no big deal and maybe it isn't but
01:34:27.440 to me this release has made it very very clear we're seeing exactly the same pattern over and over
01:34:34.820 again and nobody is doing anything they're they're claiming it's a conspiracy theory and everything
01:34:40.360 else and if we don't stop this we're never going to get out we're never if we don't hold the cia
01:34:48.200 and the intelligence community accountable this time it's going to continue to happen
01:34:54.620 uh before we got on the the radio today i was reading through an old interview with
01:35:00.480 jim garrison who is a new orleans prosecutor who set up his own task force to investigate the jfk
01:35:06.520 assassination and the cia's involvement in it and he said something that it's almost like you were
01:35:12.580 reading from this transcript when he was interviewed you know decades ago about it he said look they
01:35:17.880 lied about everything the cia lied about it these people aren't accountable to anyone and if this
01:35:23.440 kind of behavior is allowed to continue you cannot have democracy and if you don't have democracy in
01:35:28.060 this country this country will fall and he is exactly right you cannot have an unaccountable
01:35:34.580 paramilitary intel organization that thinks it can do whatever it wants that thinks it reports to
01:35:39.640 no one and that its only sense of duty is to its internal sense of honor that is a recipe and a
01:35:46.140 description of tyranny not democracy or freedom so are we going to be able because i don't i hear kind
01:35:53.660 of a collective yawn on what's been released and what i think we're supposed to learn from this
01:35:59.620 are we gonna i mean can it can it be stopped at this point because if it would have been really
01:36:05.540 truly exposed and stopped in the 1960s we may not have had a watergate we may not have had a 9-11
01:36:13.740 i mean they're always going to fight back but if we could have stopped it a lot of our history would
01:36:19.560 be a lot different than it is today can we stop it i can i i think we can you know it's interesting i
01:36:26.320 agree with you that people kind of yawned when the files came out i don't think it's because people
01:36:31.560 are uninterested in it i think it's because everyone assumes there were lies the whole time
01:36:36.460 you would be hard pressed to find someone who's done any amount of research or paid any attention
01:36:40.960 who thinks yeah lee harvey oswald was a lone gumman he he wasn't working with anyone there was no
01:36:46.400 conspiracy and it's exactly how they all said i actually think everyone assumes the intel agencies
01:36:50.880 are entirely crooked and i think that's one reason trump won this election in the way he did
01:36:56.560 i think people are sick and tired of it so i have hope um but it takes more than hope it's going
01:37:01.780 to take concrete work to tear down these corrupt institutions that are trying to destroy and take
01:37:06.060 over the country so can i really go down the crazy trail with you i think you know when i saw this
01:37:12.280 when i saw when i saw the signal thing happening and i know that signal got some of its first funding
01:37:20.460 through radio free asia which you know trump has just put on the uh chopping block because it's clear
01:37:28.100 that money's not going to anything good um and then you have you know the the woman who was part of all
01:37:36.560 of the cia and state department color revolutions all over the world who's now at npr uh trying to
01:37:43.900 control that as you know propaganda was at wikipedia and now is on the board of directors
01:37:49.580 of signal you look at that story and you're like this is another cia operation that's all this is
01:37:56.720 this is another lie uh and another gotcha from the cia at least that's the way i feel
01:38:03.420 i don't know if it's true but it sure feels like that to me my first inclination anytime we get a new
01:38:11.400 story about what's going on in the intel community or some new scandal we're supposed to pay attention to
01:38:17.200 i just assume they're all lying that that is my default position before i know anything and and
01:38:23.620 i'll tell you i've kind of used that that rubric for the last like 15 years probably should use it
01:38:29.600 for the last 30 i don't think i'm i don't think i've struck out yet like it turns out to be a pretty
01:38:35.080 accurate way of of looking at this stuff so i don't think you're crazy on that at all um i smell
01:38:40.400 a rat basically every time we have a story about something from the intel community because it always
01:38:44.760 looks like they're trying to grab back power that doesn't belong to them exactly right so what do
01:38:50.180 people have to do because i i worry about you know well let me ask before you get there i was gonna say
01:38:56.560 i worry about our president but i now am questioning nixon and i'm not saying nixon was a good guy but
01:39:03.940 i'm questioning whether that was just a cia opera you know operation with watergates this never really
01:39:11.360 made sense why would he do that but i'm not saying he was a good guy either so i don't know maybe he
01:39:16.500 just did it because he was stupid but now that i'm looking at it the pattern seems to be the same
01:39:22.740 with the nixon thing was was that a setup
01:39:27.200 oh of course it was i mean you you had the burglars who were connected to the cia and then you had the
01:39:33.800 guy who you know was deep throat the super secret source who clearly didn't have an axe to grind or
01:39:38.440 anything was the deputy director at the fbi so like i of course you should smell a rat with
01:39:43.980 watergate and what i find crazy is you know again i wasn't live at the time but i look back they hated
01:39:50.540 kennedy because they didn't think he was sufficiently uh anti-communist so kennedy gets taken out and then
01:39:57.080 you know roughly 10 to 15 years later they decide to take out the guy who ended the vietnam war that
01:40:01.820 had been lying in their pockets the whole time again history doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme
01:40:06.380 yeah that is the one thing it is always it's the military and intelligence industrial uh complex
01:40:13.840 that seems every time you threaten that thing oh and i should say the the fed as well every time you
01:40:19.840 threaten those things that is a a line you just don't cross uh without serious consequences and
01:40:26.100 you know i it's amazing to me that trump has survived what he has survived especially with the
01:40:32.740 entire intelligence agency the whole thing set up against him over and over and over again and then
01:40:40.600 this assassination which was completely just the idea of this young little boy um it is just completely
01:40:46.740 uh uh he's a lone wolf um uh are he how does he survive this sean
01:40:53.420 uh well you may think i'm crazy here uh divine grace is the only reason he survived that
01:41:00.520 and by the way he didn't just survive one he survived multiple ones i mean we've talked about
01:41:05.200 the guy at palm beach who was somehow camping out of his golf course for days and just happened to be
01:41:10.420 super connected to everything the cia and the military was doing in ukraine um yeah i'm sure that was just
01:41:17.440 a coincidence just like everything else was just a coincidence you know when people say that's a
01:41:23.140 conspiracy theory i seem to recall that this was something back in the 50s that the cia said you
01:41:30.700 know a way to stop people from finding the truth just call them conspiracy theories and rat people out
01:41:35.500 as conspiracy theorists and that'll just stop everybody in their tracks and so now you have
01:41:41.780 the population saying oh it's a conspiracy theory you're a conspiracy theorist and you're like
01:41:46.540 don't you realize you're using the tactics that they came up with to to to make sure that nobody's
01:41:54.640 talking about the possible truth it's odd it's odd yeah and they came up with that in the wake of
01:42:02.700 the jfk assassination to to get people to not talk about what we all knew happened um it's it once you
01:42:11.600 see it i feel like all of this is like those magic eye posters that were big in the 90s
01:42:16.280 where you had to stare at them for a little bit and you could see the 3d image if you crossed your
01:42:20.040 eyes just right but once you saw the image you could never unsee it that that's how i view all of
01:42:26.840 the um operations and psyops whatever you want to call them that these people run against the
01:42:31.760 american public once you've seen one of them you start to see the pattern everywhere and it's
01:42:38.020 unmistakable and you cannot unsee it at that point so is the is the is the intel community and
01:42:46.240 and this deep state uh are they just coordinating these useless are these useful idiots on the
01:42:54.540 street that are burning teslas and everything else are they you know people who are marked i love this
01:42:59.400 one the people who were marching on the first day that usa id was shut down nobody knows what usa id was
01:43:06.600 i mean and if you did know what it was you weren't a fan of it because everybody that did know what it
01:43:11.880 knew it was a cia front i mean uh is this just more of the deep state just using useful idiots
01:43:21.880 yeah and it's it's i think there's this whether you want to call it the ngo industrial complex
01:43:28.800 you know i don't know but you've got all the money that's kind of on the outside from soros types
01:43:34.640 everyone likes to make soros a boogeyman and obviously he's a bad dude with a lot of money
01:43:38.320 doing bad things but they've created this own little almost like self-licking ice cream cone
01:43:44.400 of organizations and street theater and shock troops that they see you know blm um antifa
01:43:52.320 all these protests nobody believes they're organic nobody so the only question is where's the money
01:43:58.500 and organization coming from i don't know but i wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be the
01:44:03.320 same people who've been behind everything else for the last 30 years yeah i i really thought as
01:44:09.640 we were exposing it um back in my days of fox that it was the tides foundation and uh soros but it was
01:44:16.080 so much money that i kept saying geez these these billionaires on the left they really care no it's
01:44:22.200 the ngos that are getting money from our government that's what that's what's happening here we we're
01:44:27.740 paying for our own destruction it's it's really remarkable to watch uh sean thank you so much for
01:44:34.180 uh all that you do thanks for starting the federalist such a a great organization uh and uh thanks for
01:44:40.580 being on today i appreciate it well you're very kind and generous thank you sir you bet sean davis from
01:44:46.000 the federalist he's the ceo and co-founder uh you should read his work on the cia the cia behind

01:46:20.240 understand watching snow white this is the third time you've seen snow white right uh yes glenn it's
01:46:26.700 the third time i've seen it it's it's just that good and that's why i keep going back to the theater
01:46:31.140 over and over again to make sure i can support mainly i do it to support a free palestine
01:46:36.420 that's my goal here no i no i get it i get it that's important i think all of us and on our
01:46:44.540 children especially you know when our children pick a movie they want to go see they're like i
01:46:48.780 want to do the one who's supporting free palestine and then you take them to snow white and you're like
01:46:53.860 you got it and you know and all of the other lefty things that our kids want to support you know
01:46:58.660 the burning of tesla you know just go to see snow white and you'll you'll be helping them out i
01:47:03.260 prefer the old arrangement we used to have where teslas would set on fire by themselves that was
01:47:07.800 much right it was a much more enjoyable situation yeah now they seem to be all fixed and now we're
01:47:13.360 lighting them on fire manually i like the old timiness of the uh amazon vans that just burst into
01:47:20.440 flames and you can't put out you know it's like ah those days with tesla they don't come back
01:47:25.600 no no it's very true i don't know how a company survives this like with the amount of hate they're
01:47:34.360 getting right like all of their all of their buyers were left-wing buyers their entire time
01:47:40.740 and then on a dime now they seem to be all conservative buyers like can that happen can
01:47:46.020 you navigate that as a company hi if anybody can it'll be elon musk or donald trump i mean
01:47:54.660 could anyone could you can you imagine anyone other than donald trump surviving what that man
01:48:01.620 has survived in the last 12 years no including the bullet no i can't no no no it's amazing to watch

01:48:28.920 and then when they start to come down in places well you should eat those eggs price is not uh something
01:48:34.920 you see price going down it's not something you expect to see in gold uh you know at least very
01:48:40.440 soon uh gold sounds a little old-fashioned in fact it is and that's the strength of it it is
01:48:46.200 the ultimate old-fashioned money source i mean besides clamshells and this pretty rock over here
01:48:52.380 gold is uh is as old-fashioned as it can get and that's because the world keeps coming back to gold
01:48:59.520 uh i mean it's in the bible and it will be in our history books you know on what we actually did to
01:49:05.700 either survive this or what we didn't do and the reason why we perished as our dollar falls more and

01:50:16.940 uh our next guest good friend of the program just overall great guy kirk cameron is on with us actor
01:50:22.360 producer um he is with uh brave books and it's now braveplus.com uh and they launched something
01:50:31.860 yesterday that he was on this program talking about oh geez i don't even know six months ago maybe
01:50:37.720 um and he was talking about iggy and mr kirk which is kind of a uh mr rogers for modern day um and it
01:50:48.400 it talks about the basic principles it teaches us to our little kids uh you know self-control honesty
01:50:54.600 putting others first etc etc uh all the things that mr rogers did welcome kirk cameron how are you
01:51:00.680 glenn it's so good to talk to you this morning thanks for having me on yeah we're so excited
01:51:05.520 iggy uh has landed and and kids all over america are so excited and uh i'm doing my best to honor
01:51:15.020 mr rogers with this new kids tv show how old do you know i meant to look this up before you came on
01:51:20.840 do you know how old mr rogers was when he started compared to your age now i don't either um but you
01:51:27.980 know he had years and years to look that up for me will you he had years and years in front of kids
01:51:33.600 raising kids and became this just beloved figure and i remember i mean he you know he started you
01:51:39.740 know i don't know i don't even know if if he was around when i was a kid i i'm sure he was because
01:51:44.920 it was all black and white the early stuff um but uh you know i i only found mr rogers when i was
01:51:51.460 older and i'm like wow this is weird because now in looking back you know nobody was that nice nobody
01:51:58.160 was now you suspect people that are that nice and so and so sweet right but that guy was truly an
01:52:05.000 amazing uh hero a godly godly man and really a respected guy by everybody he was 40 by the way glenn
01:52:15.800 40 he was 40 how old are you kirk i'm 54 54 um yeah so he he was 40 years old when he started this
01:52:24.220 uh and uh to step into kind of a little bit of his shoes must be a little intimidating it is and you
01:52:32.340 you know in this show for kids um we're teaching clear moral lessons like he did like forgiveness
01:52:39.420 lessons on telling the truth lessons on uh overcoming your fears uh we're even diving into
01:52:45.540 cultural and political issues we're teaching children about the dangers of socialism and about
01:52:51.140 the sanctity of life we're even having an episode uh number four it is on identity and mr rogers
01:52:58.940 didn't really need to talk about some of those things back in his day but today we've got disney's
01:53:04.080 snow white and we've got nickelodeon and other shows that are introducing stuff like you know
01:53:09.380 non-binary big birds and we've got all sorts of crazy stuff that kids are trying to wrestle
01:53:15.280 with so we need to address these issues in a way that's safe for kids that parents trust and it
01:53:21.520 also uh ignites those little imaginations for the good and imparts virtue and faith and that's what
01:53:28.500 we're doing we are we're pumping so much garbage into our systems i've heard you talk about you know
01:53:34.120 it's like food um but it's true we're pumping garbage food into us and expecting our bodies to work
01:53:40.900 we're putting garbage drugs into our bodies and thinking it's going to work out uh well and garbage
01:53:47.420 into our minds and uh it it's it's not gonna it's not gonna work out well unless we turn this corner
01:53:53.780 yeah that's right and and i'm actually really thankful for all of the the the weird woke and
01:54:01.960 twisted things that have come down because in a sense it's the wake-up call we've needed
01:54:07.380 and now parents are leaning in they're waking up they're speaking up and there's an opportunity
01:54:13.360 with so many things going on politically in the country with trump and doge and all these other
01:54:17.820 things where all of a sudden these governments uh top-down institutions are are now going to be
01:54:25.360 drained to a degree and there is a need for parents and communities and churches to work at the
01:54:32.400 grassroots level to provide better alternatives and so i think the timing of this is perfect
01:54:37.460 i'm so excited it could be the most important project i've done and it's available everywhere
01:54:42.440 for everybody to see if you've got kids or grandkids and you want to nourish their hearts and minds when
01:54:47.840 they are in the middle of screen time just check out iggy and mr kirk and it's on brave plus the app
01:54:56.520 on your tv or brave plus dot com and it's not the only thing don't you have like strawberry
01:55:01.580 shortcake i'm trying to look you had a bunch of stuff yeah strawberry shortcake bob the builder is
01:55:05.800 on there as well so it's all it's all these great character building shows yeah yeah that's right
01:55:11.840 that's what's really cool about brave plus uh we're not waiting for disney to to pick up the clue phone
01:55:17.400 and figure out the stuff that parents actually want and can try um they've created their own
01:55:23.520 streaming platform and really high standards so if it's over stimulating that's as bad for your kids
01:55:29.460 as processed foods uh if it's if it's if it's not underlining uh good moral traditional american and
01:55:39.120 godly values it doesn't make the cut but there's over 50 shows on there and you can watch the first
01:55:44.780 three episodes of my new show iggy and mr kirk for free if you want to watch the rest we've got a whole
01:55:50.240 season complete along with 50 other shows like you said bob the builder strawberry shortcake um
01:55:56.740 madeline uh so many great shows there that are safe without a second thought and your kids are
01:56:03.100 going to love them so let's uh can we just go through because i really want parents or grandparents
01:56:09.140 that have little kids to understand what you're doing because this is so important we have to rebuild
01:56:14.800 education from the ground up and entertainment uh and entertainment that you can actually feel
01:56:23.180 comfortable in leaving the room for five minutes and you're not your kids aren't going to be coming
01:56:28.280 back and you know speaking a language that you're like wait wait a minute you're you're confused in
01:56:33.060 your own body why um so can we just go over the first couple of excerpt uh episodes first one is
01:56:38.260 injured bird the lesson there is yeah this is injured bird this is all about the sacredness of
01:56:44.980 life all life including unborn life and iggy is uh essentially really upset at this bird that has
01:56:54.340 snuck into his treehouse and is stealing all of his worms he wants to go fishing and and the bird is
01:57:00.620 stealing his bait what he doesn't know is that this is a mama bird who's collecting worms because the
01:57:06.680 little chicks in her eggs in the nest are about to hatch and he learns that these little lives
01:57:14.700 inside these eggs are precious and he's got to learn to take care of them but then the episode
01:57:20.280 continues on uh to value disabled life and elderly life and so it's a whole show about the sanctity of
01:57:28.840 all life what an appropriate first episode yeah so good yeah and then uh episode number four is
01:57:38.700 dealing with identity and in the middle of it mr kirk that's the mr rogers character reads to iggy
01:57:45.120 uh the little adorable green iguana a book called elephants are not birds and this is a show about
01:57:53.360 identity where culture the vulture tries to deceive iggy into thinking that if he were somebody else
01:58:01.820 if he was someone other than what god made him to be he would be he would be liked and loved more by
01:58:08.660 his family and friends and so we have this whole show helping iggy to discover that god made him just
01:58:16.300 the way he is and that when he embraces who he is then he can fulfill the purpose that god has given
01:58:22.520 him have you heard of uh have you seen any of the research on this or talk to any of the viewers and
01:58:29.260 discovered something that you didn't know was going to be a benefit of this or something that
01:58:35.200 you you were surprised by you're like oh my gosh i'm so glad i didn't even think of that but i'm so glad
01:58:41.380 this is happening with the audience you know more and more data is coming out that is showing that
01:58:49.860 children's brains are negatively impacted by most of the children's programming coming out because at
01:58:57.260 the end of the day uh just like junk food is designed to be cheap and addictive and most children
01:59:04.260 shows are the same way kids are staring like zombies at the screen because they've been designed
01:59:10.540 to uh addict them through non-diegetic sounds that are put in in post-production it's not part of the
01:59:19.380 world they're actually looking at with flashing lights and jump cuts every two to three seconds
01:59:23.680 it's a literal brain hack on your kids to keep them glued to the screen and they say nine minutes of that
01:59:30.360 has measurable negative impact on their cognitive development and so we're going the opposite way back to
01:59:37.860 mr rogers where it's we take our time and we lean into relationships and develop trust and impart virtue
01:59:46.200 the old-fashioned way how difficult was that to do because you know everybody in the media they didn't
01:59:55.660 start out well some of them probably did but they didn't start out with nefarious purpose they're just like
02:00:00.500 we got to get these kids to watch the show how are we going to do it well if we add this and this
02:00:04.580 and now to go the opposite and say we don't want to use any of those tricks um that had to be a little
02:00:09.760 scary yeah it was but it's like you glenn you're a guy who says no my bottom line is i want to do the
02:00:19.280 right thing right by god and by my family i want to love people i want to champion what's good and true
02:00:26.280 and beautiful and at the end of the day that's why i like working with brave books is that's really
02:00:31.340 their bottom line their company they they they don't want to go bankrupt they want to make money but
02:00:35.760 more than that uh this was an eye doctor who dropped that business to become the ceo of a book
02:00:42.500 publishing company and now a whole media company because he's got kids and nobody else is doing it
02:00:48.280 so so that's that's why we're doing it the way that we're doing it yeah it's scary but at the end of
02:00:53.960 the day i i've got to answer for everything that i'm a part of kirk i am i i'm so proud to be your
02:01:00.940 friend and to see what you guys are doing and what brave is doing uh i just think there's just nothing
02:01:06.640 more important than than beginning the journey that is going to be a very long journey and generational
02:01:14.140 journey but beginning the journey right now to put things back in order it is it's the most important
02:01:21.240 thing anybody can do and especially with anything on education and um and i i i know you know this but

02:05:40.360 all right you sick freak welcome to the program i gotta just leave you with this i mean it's nice to
02:05:50.380 see uh you know john stewart join the club finally one of the things that's really uh big on social media
02:05:56.080 today is uh john stewart figuring out finally exactly how the u.s government is working
02:06:02.320 thanks to donald trump watch states must submit a five-year action plan so the states kind of go back
02:06:08.500 and they kind of think about how they're going to do this and they don't just say okay you know thank
02:06:12.200 you for the money we're going to spend it and you can see how it worked out later
02:06:15.840 we're like here's our five-year action plan then the fcc uh must publish the broadband
02:06:23.040 data maps before ntia allocates funds so having done the nofo the letters of intent the the request
02:06:31.100 for planning grants then the review approval and awarding of the planning grants then the five-year
02:06:37.160 action plans in between that the federal government has to put forward a map saying where it thinks we
02:06:43.120 need rural broadband subsidies and then of course the states need an opportunity to challenge the
02:06:48.940 map for accuracy and you can imagine this doesn't all happen in like a day okay step eight is states
02:06:57.180 must submit an initial proposal an initial proposal to the ntia then is that the result of their five
02:07:06.420 million dollar planning fund this i assume but then what was the five-year plan and what the fcc did they
02:07:12.180 apply for that is what donald trump is attempting to fix that is true i don't know that uh this is
02:07:20.440 for some reason a surprise to john stewart but we're all learning together boys and girls
02:07:25.280 this is glenn beck
