00:00:48.040
By the time yesterday I sat down to dinner, I was ready to eat a horse.
00:00:52.620
Good ranchers would like to bring that back without the horse.

00:02:52.520
One of the biggest stories this weekend, at least for me, was the slaughter of Christians all around the world.
00:03:02.160
It's complex and kind of hard to figure out who's who, but once you do, you realize,
00:03:14.120
So you can follow that and maybe get involved in helping.
00:03:18.340
Also, there is a ton of stuff going on with Donald Trump.
00:03:26.960
Also, people are upset about his, you know, tariffs and the way he's treating these loyal, loyal people in the government.
00:03:37.480
I'll try to explain this in a way that you can explain it to your friends who don't understand what he's doing.
00:03:46.480
You're out fishing and fishing on the side of the lake with your grandkids.
00:03:57.300
Not a bite on the line, but pain in your back or your knees.
00:04:00.720
You sat in one place too long and now you're in so much pain you can barely reel the hook in and put another worm on.
00:04:13.280
Over a million kids have tried their Quick Start Kids.
00:04:18.040
If you're somebody who's been living with pain in their life, wouldn't you like to join the rest of us and get out of pain and feel better?
00:04:42.460
Here's what we know about the loyalists and what's going on in Syria.
00:04:46.720
There are still a lot of Assad loyalists in the traditional strongholds within the country.
00:04:53.400
He was overthrown by some people that are not really actually our good friend.
00:04:58.160
In fact, the guy who's now saying he's president, he's better known as Al-Juwani.
00:05:08.700
He's buddies with Zerkawi, Al-Zerkawi, the Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq.
00:05:14.920
He led the Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria during the Syrian civil war.
00:05:26.240
So now that we have that out of line, one more thing.
00:05:42.000
Both of them suck, kind of like Zelensky and Putin.
00:06:04.960
They were minority, traditional Assad loyalists, all of them.
00:06:12.260
And there are Christians living in these areas as well.
00:06:16.120
The terror group that now runs the country is moving into those areas, and they're clashing with the loyalists.
00:06:22.680
The people getting caught in the middle are Christians.
00:06:26.720
Okay, now, I'm sure that, you know, the killing is more, you know, than random.
00:06:34.380
You know, they hate Christians, and anybody else that doesn't agree with them, they're forcibly meant to convert.
00:06:44.460
And I'm mentioning the loyalists here, and the connection to Assad in the past, to show you that it's more complicated than some of the social media posts that came out this weekend.
00:06:57.620
But the presence of the remaining loyalists doesn't take away from the civilian deaths, because they're just slaughtering these people.
00:07:04.880
Okay, many are, if not all, are minority groups, like Alawites and Christians.
00:07:15.100
I guess if you're a Muslim, Islamicist, you know, you were once with Al-Qaeda, I kind of think you're always with Al-Qaeda.
00:07:26.000
They persecuted the Christians during the Syrian Civil War.
00:07:30.220
And, you know, now they're saying, we're so inclusive.
00:07:40.260
And whenever this happens, bad people gain power, and Christians lose their heads.
00:07:56.700
So, no matter what they say to the international public, you know, we're all for inclusion, new future, diversity, blah, blah, blah.
00:08:04.820
Do you really think the former leader of the Syrian Al-Qaeda group is all about diversity?
00:08:22.880
So, we know where this is eventually going to lead.
00:08:27.940
It goes back to the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
00:08:34.960
Oh, you could talk to me about the Ottoman Empire all night.
00:08:37.860
I had one at the end of my grandfather's chair once.
00:08:40.560
The left's Arab Spring is the latest version of what we're doing.
00:08:46.940
And it's impacting the former Al-Qaeda group that is now running Syria.
00:08:57.440
But the Assad family, the Alawites, they would have never gotten any power if it wasn't for the French.
00:09:07.840
Oh, you know what's better than talking about the Ottoman Empire?
00:09:21.680
And this is what we all have to learn from, all right?
00:09:25.980
We are now living in a progressive era and have for the last hundred years.
00:09:32.880
How have things been going in the last hundred years?
00:09:48.720
I know Hitler was the thing that we all look at and go, very bad.
00:10:01.040
But how did he become the guy that everybody in Germany loved?
00:10:06.200
I remember Woodrow Wilson and his giant peace picnic in the back of a train car in France.
00:10:21.220
So, this is the same thing over and over and over again.
00:10:27.600
And the thing we have to realize, Assad, not good.
00:10:46.440
We like sectarians that are looking and saying, what I'm going to do is I'm going to keep everybody unbalanced so the West can have their way.
00:11:07.800
We used to like people like Assad until, until what?
00:11:19.620
We keep doing this over and over and over again.
00:11:27.580
I wanted to get, I wanted to do some real sexy talk about the Ottoman Empire.
00:11:36.680
Hit the porn music because this, oh no, I'm going to, I'm about, I'm taking you back to 1915.
00:11:52.600
Well, they, they kill 1.5 Armenian, uh, Christians, 1.5 million.
00:12:00.620
All of a sudden you're like, wow, there's a lot of dead bodies around here.
00:12:06.360
Men, women, children marched into the desert, starved, beaten, and then slaughtered.
00:12:16.980
Because they wouldn't bend the knee to the regime that demanded their souls.
00:12:47.780
Uh, and this one, I don't care if the history book writes it this way, all kind of etched in
00:13:11.200
Not because of what they did, but because of who they were.
00:13:14.480
Hitler said he knew he could, listen carefully, he knew he could get away with it because the
00:13:22.520
world didn't care when the Turks tried to kill all of the Christian Armenians.
00:13:51.580
And this new guy, the HTS group, led by Abu Muhammad Al-Jawani.
00:14:04.740
Who doesn't think that Abu would be a great guy?
00:14:47.700
Because it seems like there's a lot of bad people involved on all sides.
00:14:59.680
When Islamists take over, ISIS, Boko Haram, now HTS, pattern repeats.
00:15:08.940
Christians, Yazidis, minorities, given a choice, convert, run, or die.
00:15:15.920
Now, let me paint you a picture from the last five years.
00:15:20.140
Nigeria, Boko Haram, they killed over 12,000 Christians since 2020.
00:15:41.900
They kidnapped thousands more kids, girls, as young as 12.
00:15:49.820
Forced into marriages they didn't choose, but Allah said they had to get married.
00:15:53.820
In Iraq, post-ISIS, the Christian population has gone from 1.5 million to under 200,000.
00:16:04.520
Syria's own Christians, once a million strong, down to 300,000.
00:16:11.600
All of these people that are being murdered and being chased out, I'm not hearing about those people being accepted in Europe.
00:16:21.540
Because I know it's refugees, but the only refugees I ever really hear about are the ones whose leaders are chopping Christians' heads off in the Middle East.
00:16:36.040
So why are they the ones we're accepting and not the Christians that are actually losing their heads?
00:16:45.800
In 2021, 5,621 Christians were killed worldwide for their faith, most under Islamic hands.
00:17:12.940
They would put that on the doors of anybody who believed in Jesus.
00:17:27.480
I would, in the 1850s, I would have been on the right side of that.
00:17:35.340
Sold in markets just like the Dark Ages, but not as bad as it was in South Carolina.
00:17:49.880
Your friends, they all would be fighting against that right now.
00:17:55.720
Here is the thing that you really need to know about this.
00:18:04.580
Whether it is after World War I or Obama, Biden, Hillary.
00:18:13.300
So, Obama gets in, and he's like, hey, the Arab Spring.
00:18:19.120
His USAID gets together with Facebook, and they start to plant the seeds of the Arab Spring.
00:18:29.460
When that one was done, because it was so spontaneous, then they decided, let's overthrow Libya.
00:18:43.040
Oh, it was so funny when they were dragging his body through the streets.
00:18:53.460
Because Benghazi, we started arming the people so, you know, they could get who they saw after they came in and he died.
00:19:02.460
So they armed, and then we didn't want them to have their arms anymore.
00:19:07.020
We got to get them to the people who are going to help us in Syria.
00:19:25.160
They were telling us that these guys are good guys.
00:19:33.400
Regime changers come in, and then they're like, oh, we need a new monster.
00:19:39.720
All of it, it ends in violent extremists every single time.
00:19:48.000
And that's why we've got to end the policies that we have been on for the last 100 years.
00:19:56.860
First, somewhere in Israel right now, there's a Jewish woman standing alone, staring at her empty cupboard.
00:20:02.180
Meanwhile, somebody in Texas, there's a Christian donating to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:20:08.220
A donation that becomes a hot meal, a blanket, a lifeline for that woman who's standing alone right now.
00:20:14.460
In the Holy Land, the birthplace of the Jewish and Christian faith, there is a fight happening right now.
00:20:22.600
It's a fight for the very existence of the Jewish people, and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the front line of that fight.
00:20:29.080
Last year, the generosity of people like you provided over 2 million meals to impoverished families,
00:20:34.320
an emergency aid to the regions of Israel that have been torn apart by the war with Hamas and Hezbollah.
00:20:46.680
Neither has the sacred mission of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:20:50.440
Give a gift to bless Israel and her people right now.
00:21:04.420
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
00:21:18.540
You know, I want to remind you that there is something you can do besides just be involved politically.
00:21:26.460
I was on the phone with these guys all week and the Nazarene Fund all weekend.
00:21:31.240
We're there in Syria and we have been moving people to safety and it's a really dangerous job.
00:21:43.140
I will never tell you where we are until someday I write a book about what was done in these days.
00:21:49.720
But we have people every day risking their lives to save Christians and people who are persecuted minorities.
00:22:02.540
But if you include the, what is it, 20,000, 22,000 in Afghanistan, we're over 30,000 people that we have moved to safety.
00:22:17.400
But you're the one that runs toward the fire, not away from it.
00:22:38.860
If we don't, it's going to turn into another Rwanda.
00:22:43.360
Please pass this on to your pastor or whoever that you know might care and can help.
00:23:07.080
Nazarenefund.org is probably the one that's going to really be helping the Christians in Syria and persecuted minorities.
00:23:26.760
So we don't have all the results in for 2025, but there's some early indications a violent crime is going down in America.
00:23:33.420
It's almost as if there are a bunch of new criminals just appearing out of the woodwork every day, and then someone came along and stopped them.
00:23:42.760
Anyway, while the good news is that it's going down, bad news is all it takes is one encounter.
00:23:53.440
We have the Second Amendment for several reasons.
00:23:56.900
I am a guy who carries a gun, and I believe in my wife carrying a gun.
00:24:01.840
But what about an encounter where the attacker doesn't have to pay with his life?
00:24:07.360
In those moments, you really would probably rather have a burner launcher because you shoot somebody and your life is going to be hell for the next year, maybe two years.
00:24:20.780
It looks like a gun, but it fires non-lethal rounds, either projectiles or tear gas pellets.
00:24:26.960
Either one's going to stop an attacker in his tracks long enough to get to the police.
00:24:33.480
There's no permits or any kind of background check required.
00:24:41.020
And head over to BlazTV.com slash Glenn and subscribe to BlazTV today.
00:25:02.820
Well, let's say hello to Mr. Stu Bergeer, executive producer on the program.
00:25:11.680
Everything's going great, and I'm excited about it.
00:25:16.000
And, you know, these things come up, and you're like, I'm going to be interested to see how it all works out.
00:25:20.020
That's exactly how I feel about everything these days.
00:25:22.940
Well, hello, Pac Ray, who's wearing a, looks like an official ice jacket.
00:25:28.840
Yeah, and it is, of course, because I'm an official ice agent now.
00:25:53.460
And so do you see a lot of people run when you walk into stores with that?
00:26:02.480
I wanted to bring you in because I heard a couple of takes, a couple of audio pieces
00:26:10.640
And I just wanted you to take us through Hank Johnson and Al Green.
00:26:22.560
Al Green, you know, he was the guy who stood up last week with a cane.
00:26:26.460
And I really, did anybody else see that and think, oh, my gosh, it's 1853.
00:26:32.940
He's standing on the green going, he's going to go up and try to beat Donald Trump to death
00:26:37.740
Anyway, here he is claiming that, well, you listen.
00:26:41.860
There is invidious discrimination in the House of Representatives.
00:26:48.840
The rights that the Constitution recognized for me, my friends and neighbors denied.
00:27:00.200
And my relatives who committed some crimes were locked up in the bottom of the jail.
00:27:05.200
I know what invidious discrimination looks like.
00:27:12.560
I was in filthy waiting rooms and I've been in places where I didn't want to be and I know
00:27:22.200
And when the speaker decided that I would be removed and then there was this motion, this
00:27:30.960
resolution to censor me, it became obvious to me that I was not being treated as others
00:27:38.720
And candidly speaking, it is invidious discrimination.
00:27:44.800
I'm not sure I've ever heard the word invidious.
00:27:50.600
Likely to arouse or incur resentment or anger in others.
00:28:01.360
And when we were talking about Al Green, I was worried when the definition started with
00:28:08.740
So he's saying that just because he's black when he stood waving a cane at the president
00:28:22.780
The closest we could find is Joe Wilson saying, you lie.
00:28:46.640
And you might remember him from worrying about Guam tipping over and capsizing.
00:28:55.900
Only if we put all of the Marines on one side of the island, then it would capsize.
00:29:02.200
Because he wasn't just randomly saying the island would capsize.
00:29:05.300
Because he was saying if we move too many troops to one side of it, it would capsize.
00:29:08.760
He said if there are 10,000 troops were put there, of course that's going to tip it over.
00:29:24.460
All of the ways in which they can kill public education from defunding it from a federal level and then also enabling state monies and local monies to flow into the private for-profit school setup that is going, that is ongoing.
00:29:47.020
It's a recipe to make education unavailable to black people and where does that then leave us?
00:29:55.420
It puts us back to when America was great and we were picking cotton and-
00:30:04.960
And the productivity that they are putting my Latino brothers and sisters who-
00:30:12.100
Migrate here to do that work because we are not suited intellectually to do it anymore.
00:30:18.980
But they would have us back confined to doing that kind of work.
00:30:24.100
We've got to watch out for where we are headed and it's the people that will save our democracy, that will stop this movement towards the past that Trump has us-
00:30:42.600
So did he just say that blacks were no longer intellectually suited for field work?
00:30:49.120
Yeah, I'm not sure if he's talking about blacks or Americans in general, but yeah, we're intellectually not suited for it.
00:31:00.240
Yeah, but Hispanics are, they're not above doing that.
00:31:06.180
Yeah, I mean, there's a difference between I'm above that, which is absolutely wrong, and I'm not intellectually suited for that work, but you are.
00:31:29.880
Sorry, I left the second part of that definition.
00:31:33.540
So then he also says that it's Trump's plan to close the Department of Education to keep people from being educated.
00:31:43.720
But if I could be wrong, help me out with the facts, I think since the Department of Education was put into place, our test scores have gone way down.
00:31:56.340
And so like, not just black kids, like no kids graduate now with more than like a third grade reading level.
00:32:09.400
I don't know if he understands that, but the entire system as it's built, and everyone should be aware of this.
00:32:16.120
You know, they keep saying, what's going to happen to our schools?
00:32:18.500
What's going to happen to what has happened to our schools?
00:32:23.040
Yeah, President Trump's talked about that pretty extensively, that we're 40th among industrialized nations.
00:32:33.120
We're number one in spending, and we're 40th in education.
00:32:43.040
And part of it, honestly, I mean, when will, you know, anybody who was, who is stuck in 1965 is not going to get this.
00:32:52.020
They're not going to get this because they're stuck in 1965, and they don't see that the world has dramatically changed.
00:32:57.960
And they still look at people like Johnson, one of the biggest racists of my lifetime as a president.
00:33:09.460
I truly believe, whether he knew it or not, what he did completely destroyed black families, black children, enslaved them.
00:33:22.660
If you look at the timeline, you see that proven out.
00:33:30.360
I mean, when are people, we have got to stop looking at the government as wanting to do good.
00:33:44.120
Our founders would have said, no, it never does that.
00:33:47.120
It never does that because people are in charge.
00:33:49.140
Um, so you, you always look at it as a hostile entity.
00:33:58.180
Everybody in the, in the government wants to do good, but they're not.
00:34:05.580
So for us to say, let's just keep going down this path is an act of insanity.
00:34:12.080
All we do is throw more money, it grow the government, which is not working by any measurement.
00:34:21.980
Everybody's so upset about, oh my gosh, we shut down USAID.
00:34:32.860
It is, it was designed to look like aid, but it's a CIA op.
00:34:41.200
So first of all, you got to learn that man, learn that second of all, even if, even if
00:34:49.660
it was, you know, for aid, can anybody tell me why we should spend maybe 20 cents on every
00:35:00.940
dollar that goes there and I'm being generous, maybe 20 cents of those dollars actually goes
00:35:07.980
The rest of it is all about control and manipulation of other people's countries.
00:35:14.440
And what's left is graft and just incompetence and loss.
00:35:28.720
You know, if, if we were losing 20 cents on every dollar, I'd still be pissed, but we're
00:35:35.760
We're getting 20 cents of what is, what we really think we're getting and 80 cents to
00:35:47.320
You can't, you can't, not if you're reasonable, not if you're a common sense American, you
00:35:53.420
Unless you say government always means to do well and gosh, we're just, but we're
00:35:59.580
But when have they proven that to be true recently?
00:36:03.460
And if we listen to you, everyone in Guam would be in the ocean right now.
00:36:23.540
The kind that slips through the cracks of your life.
00:36:27.820
This is a faceless crook who is going to steal your name, your savings, your peace
00:36:32.840
Good people like you wake up to find their lives, lives turned upside down, and it is
00:36:44.040
It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect your life.
00:36:47.860
Life lack offers you advanced, empowering monitoring of your identity and personal information.

They have professional, dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialists, so if you do become
00:37:07.920
a victim of identity theft, they can help you manage and fix the situation, and their

It's really super easy to protect yourself with LifeLock.

Save up to 40% off your first year with the promo code BEC.
00:37:25.760
Make sure you use the promo code BEC and save 40%.
00:37:34.880
On Friday, Trump came out with something that is just, it's unbelievable.
00:37:59.040
The Department of Homeland Security has, in our airports, 200 TSA people who are clocking
00:38:13.240
All they're doing is making sure that the union grows, becomes more powerful, and helps the
00:38:21.460
Now, I don't know about you, but I have a problem with that, and this is something that
00:38:28.800
Biden did right before he left office, just increase the union representation.
00:38:38.040
So I'm going to go into that here in just a minute.
00:38:41.740
I talked to, I can't tell you how many people I talked to this weekend that are coming to
00:38:46.500
me now, and they're like, okay, glad, glad, glad, glad, you're reasonable, right?
00:38:55.480
I know you don't think that, but I mean, come on, you got to see reason here.
00:39:01.320
And it's all about the tariffs and everything else.
00:39:03.480
And I just want to, I think I can help you talk to your friends who are unhinged about
00:39:14.700
Trump and Zelensky and Trump and the cuts in Washington and the tariffs.
00:39:26.040
But I want to present maybe their argument, you know, the people that you're talking to.
00:39:32.320
So I could see if it's the same thing that I'm hearing from people that, you know, aren't
00:39:39.280
And I'm, you know, you don't have to, but you do kind of want him to win.
00:39:43.580
So if you want him to win, you have to stop thinking that he's absolutely crazy for just
00:39:48.680
a second and go, okay, is there any method to what I think is madness?
00:39:56.880
You may not even agree with it, but it's not evil.
00:40:00.740
It's just a different strategy because everything is changing.
00:40:05.620
That is, you know, I talked about this on Friday in hour number three, as I was talking about
00:40:10.780
AI and encouraging you to look at AI right now in a different way.
00:40:17.080
You should absolutely understand that AI can eat us down the road.
00:40:32.580
And right now, if you learn how to use that tool, you can use it for good.
00:40:37.920
At some point, it might be like, and now you will become mine.
00:40:45.060
It looks like you're looking at me as the shovel.
00:40:51.640
But you have to be reasonable on things that are happening and understand that the entire
00:41:06.860
No, he's trying to change 100 years of direction.
00:41:11.980
And in my opinion, and a fairly well-educated opinion, because I know the history of the
00:41:17.940
last 120 years with the progressive movement, I see what he's trying to do.
00:41:27.680
What was done over 100 plus years, he's trying to reverse in the next four.
00:41:33.760
And it's going to be uncomfortable, and it's going to raise some eyebrows.
00:41:38.600
But I want you to be able to explain it to your friends, and we'll do that coming up
00:42:19.220
FEMA stretched so thin, not to mention on thin ice with the president.
00:42:22.700
During that time, the power grids flickered, shelves in the store went bare quickly, families
00:42:32.000
You should be prepared for whatever the next disaster will be.
00:42:37.320
Not only do they make amazing emergency food when you can store it long-term, so when you
00:42:42.820
need it, but they also make a lot of other emergency preparedness equipment.

00:43:36.600
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
00:44:26.820
The chaos that Donald Trump is causing all over the world.
00:44:33.400
Is this chaos or is this a plan that you don't like?
00:44:37.600
And if you want to talk about chaos, let's look at the other side as well.
00:44:47.680
In fact, in a letter to ActBlue's board of directors, this comes from the New York Times.
00:44:54.660
There is a quote, alarming pattern of high level exits that is eroding our confidence in the stability of the organization.
00:45:07.800
Now, Trump doesn't have anything to do with that, but maybe a little bit of corruption might.
00:45:23.820
I used to be president until I was sleeping all the time.
00:45:33.180
It clears your mind for the everyday things you need to do.
00:45:36.520
And when you can't sleep, it's really not good for the rest of the day or your presidency.
00:45:44.300
Developed by doctors, it uses a formula for all natural ingredients to calm your mind, relax your body,
00:45:49.500
a 100% drug-free way to help you fall asleep faster, sleep better, and stay asleep longer.
00:45:53.920
Z-Factor uses a formula of all four natural ingredients to calm your mind and relax your body
00:45:58.500
so you can ease into sleep faster and sleep right through the night.
00:46:02.180
If you're looking for better Zs, see how the right formula of supplements can help.
00:46:06.720
First-time Z-Factor buyers are going to enjoy 46% savings.
00:46:21.480
Several top officials, including the highest-ranking legal officer at ActBlue,
00:46:29.320
while those who remain are allegedly stuck dealing with a culture of volatility and toxicity.
00:46:35.480
In a letter to ActBlue's board of directors obtained by the New York Times,
00:46:41.260
unions representing the group's workers identified seven officials who recently quit
00:46:45.740
and stressed the alarming pattern of high-level exits.
00:46:50.320
Senior staff departures reportedly began on February 21st,
00:46:54.220
two weeks after the organization reportedly provided congressional investigators
00:47:00.780
their fraud prevention measures, and related procedures.
00:47:11.920
appears to be a money laundering system for the left.
00:47:16.560
And there's a lot of money going through there.
00:47:19.920
I don't know if Doge is going to find any connections to ActBlue,
00:47:30.900
And that's why people are freaking out in Washington.
00:47:34.260
They are freaking out in Washington because they know the game is over.
00:47:39.720
Now, there are those people that are in the government
00:47:42.580
that believe that they're doing the patriotic thing
00:47:46.100
because they believe they know better than you,
00:47:50.040
the people who elect presidents, or the president himself.
00:47:53.000
You would not want this if it was your guy in office, right?
00:48:00.940
Why wouldn't you want a bunch of, let's say, Republicans
00:48:04.000
that are in the deep state that didn't give a flying crap
00:48:07.720
what Joe Biden said and wasn't executing his plan?
00:48:14.300
You wouldn't like that because that's not what the people voted for.
00:48:21.100
not for these unelected bureaucrats that are faceless, nameless,
00:48:26.200
and have complete control, apparently, over your country and your life.
00:48:34.360
And I talked to some people this weekend that are very upset
00:48:37.100
about Zelensky and how the president treated Zelensky.
00:48:42.720
People who are watching the clip to when the vice president steps in
00:48:46.100
and says, hold on here, that's where people start.
00:48:51.300
There's 20 minutes prior to that where Donald Trump and J.D. Vance
00:48:56.240
were trying to disarm Zelensky, trying to get him to,
00:49:00.080
hey, hey, hey, hey, not appropriate here, stop.
00:49:02.940
But it took him 20 minutes before J.D. Vance finally just snapped
00:49:08.000
So you have to inform yourself and not just the clips.
00:49:15.160
I am a little uncomfortable by the way the tariffs are going with Canada and Mexico.
00:49:25.300
Mexico is just a, I'm sorry, but it's just an absolute corrupt country.
00:49:29.160
And they've got to get control of those cartels.
00:49:32.540
And we have to get control of those cartels as well
00:49:35.960
and make sure we're not doing business with any of the cartels,
00:49:51.740
There is a $1.2 trillion online with our trade relationship.
00:49:58.760
And everybody's saying, oh my gosh, this will have a ripple effect.
00:50:08.220
On the surface, it is really tempting to see what everything that Donald Trump is doing as chaos.
00:50:26.900
And I want you to understand this so you can share this to your friends or your family who maybe are freaking out.
00:50:40.940
And you are dealing with the best negotiator America has ever had in office.
00:50:49.840
And this is the strategy that people in America elected Trump to execute.
00:50:56.800
Now, maybe your friend didn't or your family didn't because they didn't vote for him.
00:51:17.140
And it's not like other presidents that are like, you know, I'm going to be just like you when I get in.
00:51:24.500
I'm going to fight for everything you're saying you're going to fight for because I'm just like you.
00:51:28.300
And boy, that thing that I don't even address ever, but I just love what you're saying there.
00:51:34.660
And then they go in and they don't have your back.
00:51:39.300
First of all, people didn't vote for Donald Trump like they voted for Joe Biden.
00:51:45.700
Joe Biden, they voted for because it wasn't Trump.
00:51:52.340
When you vote for somebody who's not the other guy.
00:51:57.140
In that case, you got, I'm going to make your boy a girl.
00:52:02.660
Maybe extremists, but we didn't even know that was even coming our way until what?
00:52:09.600
Six months or eight months into the presidency.
00:52:11.820
And then all of a sudden, DEI, ESG, all of this stuff was a big story.
00:52:19.040
They did vote for changing the direction of America.
00:52:26.120
They're tired of bureaucrats telling them how to live their life where they didn't get to vote on it.
00:52:32.660
Um, they're tired of being screwed by other countries.
00:52:38.600
I just, we just want a fair and balanced playing field.
00:52:57.560
That's what we're playing now is people just think we're going to take out Canada.
00:53:03.460
I want you to think of this differently with your friends.
00:53:07.860
And maybe your friends won't like this example, but it's true.
00:53:10.660
When Ronald Reagan stood up, uh, it was, I think it was in March of 83 and he's just gotten in and he's standing.
00:53:23.120
And he stood up and he said, and Russia, the Soviet union is an evil empire.
00:53:28.460
And everybody went, Oh my gosh, he just said an evil empire.
00:53:33.640
And everybody, even people who liked him were like, don't say that they'll nuke us.
00:53:39.240
And he's like, no, you're never going to beat them.
00:53:44.020
We cannot continue to play the game the same way we've been playing it for 50 years because it's not getting us anywhere.
00:53:54.800
We know with all of our foreign policy that we've done, getting us into endless wars, spending all kinds of money, racking up a debt of $35 trillion.
00:54:05.720
Not knowing what the truth is because the government's no longer transparent.
00:54:21.540
I think that's what people actually voted for when it came to Barack Obama, because all of this transparency, everything was opaque under George W. Bush.
00:54:33.960
I don't want necessarily these never-ending wars, and now I've got people checking my underpants at the airport.
00:54:54.840
Anybody who didn't know that massive tariffs were coming, they just weren't paying attention.
00:55:01.820
When Reagan did it, it wasn't a slip of the tongue.
00:55:09.420
He did it in public because he wanted to change the world.
00:55:15.120
And while everybody else was going, oh my gosh, and critics, Democrats, everybody, he's going to, it's going to be catastrophic.
00:55:35.260
His words were backed by a military buildup and unrelenting pressure, and it forced the Soviets to confront their own fragility.
00:55:48.140
By 1989, remember, it was 1983 when he said evil empire, and we were at equal terms in the world.
00:55:59.000
We were both world superpowers that could annihilate the other one at the drop of a hat.
00:56:07.720
By 1989, the Berlin Wall was rubble, all because Reagan had the balls to say it and then not blink.
00:56:24.440
But if you want to change the world, you're going to have, I have this saying that somebody gave to me a long time ago, and I live my life by it.
00:56:39.360
Just know the odds before you put your money down on the table.
00:56:47.460
So, yes, I could risk big, but I probably will lose big because the odds are not in my favor.
00:56:56.980
When it comes to Ronald Reagan's Soviet empire, he had a plan.
00:57:09.620
We can't afford a trade war, but neither can they.
00:57:13.740
So, let's all play nice with one another, shall we?
00:57:20.400
This is the same kind of leadership that Ronald Reagan had.
00:57:24.340
We elected Donald Trump to fight, to take on a global trade system, to take on the deficit and the spending.
00:57:40.600
Honestly, are you okay with a good portion of our money raised in taxes going to pay for salaries and benefits the way it is?
00:58:03.340
Well, you can't cut the Department of Education.
00:58:07.060
He told everyone on the campaign trail he's going to.
00:58:11.720
And then, when he tries, everybody says, we've got to preserve the...
00:58:19.940
Well, you're going to just leave all of the poor children out to educationally starve.
00:58:30.180
When you don't teach children to read, they become slaves to whomever can read.
00:58:57.240
Deep in the quiet of a mother's womb, if you listen carefully, there is a voice.
00:59:14.300
Our culture hasn't spent very long, you know, actually listening.
00:59:19.260
We've been plugging our ears because we don't want to hear that voice.
00:59:24.220
Expecting mothers, especially the desperate, often choose to silence that voice.
00:59:28.660
They don't even want to think about it because they're desperate.
00:59:31.560
Instead of looking at people and saying, you're a baby killer.
00:59:34.440
Why don't we look at people and say, how can we help you to hear that voice?
00:59:40.540
That is exactly what this organization does that will help you.
00:59:47.860
It will help these women hear that voice because they offer free ultrasounds to expecting mothers.
00:59:58.660
At least half of the time, that's all it takes to convince a woman she's carrying a living human being and she'll change her mind.
01:00:12.160
Because they care about the baby and the mom and they'll help her for two years after the baby is born.
01:00:42.160
So, let's just look at Canada and the tariffs here for a second.
01:01:01.500
You know, Donald Trump keeps saying this and people don't realize this is true.
01:01:04.840
The EU was designed to be able to compete against the United States.
01:01:18.960
And when you're the rich person, believe me, look at how people look at rich people.
01:01:29.160
We pay more for our medical prescriptions here in America than they do overseas.
01:01:34.720
Because we even view ourselves politically, when the people in power actually have anything
01:01:41.540
to say about it, they're like, well, we're the richest country in the world, so we should
01:01:54.000
It boils down to your friends are not paying attention because they've already made their
01:02:08.520
Did you like it when he went over and he was like, yeah, that little guy, missile boy.
01:02:14.740
And he was saying that about Kim Jong-un who had his finger on a launch button.
01:02:26.740
And he got American citizens that were being held hostage out of there.
01:02:34.480
No, he was just calling him, you know, Rocket Man just like 10 minutes ago.
01:02:44.600
It's his playbook is provoke, pressure, prevail.
01:02:54.580
So people are just afraid because it's a different approach.
01:03:01.420
And nobody likes to upset the, you know, it's like, have you ever, do you have anybody?
01:03:12.520
I send a friend in because I'm like, I can't negotiate.
01:03:19.800
So I have a good friend who goes in, Robert, my brother, he goes in and he negotiates and
01:03:26.620
Cause that's the game they play all day and they know you don't like it.
01:03:32.400
I don't want to be, I mean, I just want everything to be fair and nice and happy.
01:03:35.520
And now when you're negotiating, you bring the biggest dog to the negotiating table.
01:03:42.280
You can get somebody that knows how to play their game as well as they do, if not better
01:03:54.840
And you're the person like me in the car dealership going, well, but no, we don't, he doesn't really
01:04:01.840
Maybe he's had a really bad day, but I, Mr. Car Salesman, I appreciate your family.
01:04:16.580
That's why you hire someone like Donald Trump to come in and play that game.
01:04:23.020
Your job is to not freak out because if you freak out, the other side sees the whole
01:04:31.560
family sitting there squirming and then they just look at you like, really, can you believe
01:04:49.560
You may not like the style, but this is what we voted for.
01:05:02.400
APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
01:05:06.180
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
01:05:10.280
There is a quiet but incredibly powerful victory waiting out there.
01:05:14.360
And it's, it's not going to come with big fanfare or the waving of flags or anything
01:05:18.860
It'll be a note in the ledger of your financial life that is printed in bolded capital letters.
01:05:29.780
You can move beyond it to a life that's freer, happier, and more fiscally responsible for the
01:05:36.280
American financing sees this kind of thing every day because American financing makes it happen
01:05:42.780
And they meet with Americans just like you who are like, I'm in debt.
01:05:45.560
I don't know how I, I mean, I do know how I got here.
01:05:52.260
They've seen this forever and they can help you give American financing a call right now.
01:05:57.260
You might be surprised at what options you didn't even know you had from mortgage refis
01:06:01.540
to accessing the high equity that you might have in your home to pay off the high interest
01:06:07.020
American financing could be saving you hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as a

01:06:45.320
Our people are there and we'll give you, as we get more information, it's kind of hard
01:06:50.520
to figure everything out right now, but just know in Syria, at least we are on the ground
01:06:57.480
Really brave people on the ground and we need your help.
01:07:00.580
If you would like to help us save those people who are being slaughtered and move them to
01:07:06.080
safety, we were doing it this weekend and you can go to mercuryone.org or the Nazarene
01:07:12.520
Specifically, Nazarene Fund is the one that is doing a lot of the real heavy lifting on

One's education center right across the brickyard here.
01:07:34.700
We'll take you through the vault and you're going to bring your family in if you'd like
01:07:38.420
to be a part of this and you will see part of our almost 160 or 170,000 artifacts and
01:07:47.000
you'll be able to learn history from Christopher Columbus all the way till about 1960 and David

All you have to do is just go to mercuryone.org.
01:08:04.720
Also, if you have kids that are in college or you happen to be in college, 18 to 25 year
01:08:11.940
olds, hands-on experience, study the original historic documents.
01:08:17.180
All you have to do is just go to americanjourney.org and sign up.
01:08:22.820
There's two sessions, one in June and one in July here again in Irving.
01:08:27.920
They're a week long and again, only for students 18 to 25.
01:08:33.920
If you are a teacher trying to actually teach American history, you get access to the original
01:08:42.320
We show you how to use them, et cetera, et cetera.
01:08:44.360
You can register for that one at wallbuilders.com.
01:08:49.180
If you want any of those, you can find them now at mercuryone.org or wallbuilders.com.
01:08:54.840
Thinking about your last segment, Glenn, about how to understand what Trump is trying to
01:09:02.460
And I think I pretty much totally agree with you on when it comes to his approach, right?
01:09:07.500
Like I find it really frustrating to watch the media and honestly, a lot of people on,
01:09:13.800
you know, conservative, liberal media all over the board.
01:09:17.740
Losing their mind either positively or negatively on every little step of his negotiations.
01:09:25.220
Like every time he says something, there's 15 New York Times pieces about how crazy it is
01:09:31.000
And then when he winds up being a negotiation a few weeks later, like there's not, yeah,
01:09:41.180
You know, as Trump, I think would understand at some level, you know, there's no limit
01:09:45.800
to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit.
01:09:48.120
And I know he does certainly care who gets the credit.
01:09:50.500
That's something we could definitely say about Trump, but he's smart enough to know the
01:10:03.600
He wants to walk away in situations where everyone wins.
01:10:07.200
He knows he's a good enough negotiator to know everyone's got to win.
01:10:11.840
Why do you think he's saying Canada, you're going to be the 51st state?
01:10:15.260
So when we just have no tariffs and they've stopped the drugs from coming over and the
01:10:21.520
terrorists from coming over and the tariffs, you know, go away, everybody's going to say
01:10:38.380
You have to judge the outcome outcome, not the optics of it, the outcome.
01:10:43.300
And that's what I would and I don't think it's an addendum to what you said.
01:10:46.380
I just it's just to add a little more clarification on this past presidents.
01:10:52.940
We've often judged by the way they've negotiated in these situations.
01:11:04.000
And people say, well, you have a double standard with Trump.
01:11:09.480
And the reason I do is because he's pretty unique.
01:11:12.180
I don't know if anyone's noticed this in American history.
01:11:17.380
And I think to understand what he's doing, you have to have a double standard.
01:11:20.640
If I chase around every single thing he says and freak out about it or say it's the greatest thing ever, then I will be wrong.
01:11:29.640
I will be chasing my tail and I will be insane.
01:11:35.500
However, there is the addendum to that, which is he does need to be judged as to whether these policies work or not.
01:11:46.580
You can't just judge nothing and say this is his strategy and therefore it's fine.
01:11:52.880
And I know there's got to be another business example out there, but let me just talk in a way and maybe you can come up with another example that relates to regular people.
01:12:01.800
I've done radio for my whole life and here's what happens.
01:12:09.880
Then you get in, you start to change and everybody's like, well, not that change.
01:12:13.680
We need it to be a little bit more like what it was.
01:12:18.220
You know, and then, all right, we'll give you six more weeks.
01:12:28.360
You don't judge Donald Trump six or eight weeks into it.
01:12:32.500
You are going to we're going to have to look at the midterms.
01:12:35.100
OK, is the ship turning in the direction that we want it to go?
01:12:51.200
But I'd like him to be much more, you know, like Ronald Reagan.
01:12:54.980
Or I'd like him to be much more, you know, unique like Bill Clinton.
01:13:09.680
We've said we all admit thirty four trillion dollars doesn't work.
01:13:14.820
We are getting owned by everybody else in the world.
01:13:22.420
And because we've been kicking rocks in the in the parking lot going, we're such a bad country.
01:13:27.540
We just have so much and nobody has anything else.
01:13:29.900
And gosh, we've just we've done everything that was so colonial.
01:13:36.380
I just feel bad for what the Europeans and that we're letting the Europeans walk all over us.
01:13:53.760
Let's let's reevaluate things and do things differently.
01:14:02.120
I mean, I think you really see that clearly with Ukraine, maybe as most clearly as possible.
01:14:06.680
He's looking at a situation where Ukraine has been promised for two and a half years that they will get as much money as they want for as long as it takes.
01:14:17.900
He has to convince them that's not going to happen anymore to get them to come back to the table.
01:14:26.620
He was like, oh, you know, Zelensky is a dictator.
01:14:30.280
And then when someone asked him about it, he said, I don't think I said that.
01:14:34.480
Like, this is all negotiation to get to a goal that and that's and did you notice he's taking on Russia this week?
01:14:42.640
He's like, you know, Russia, you don't come to the table.
01:14:47.180
He's talking about additional sanctions on Russia, this man who loves Vladimir Putin so much.
01:14:53.280
So you have to watch it and you have to judge the results.
01:14:56.240
I remember in his first term, he was over in I think it was in Europe and he's talking to all these European leaders and he's talking about tariffs because he loves tariffs.
01:15:07.180
And he said to them, I think it was maybe maybe it was the G6 or one of those meetings.
01:15:12.020
And he said, you know what, he's like, what I would like here is we could just all come together and turn off all tariffs.
01:15:21.120
Now, we he really does think tariffs are a good policy.
01:15:27.240
However, I think he probably would come around to a situation where everyone had zero tariffs.
01:15:35.020
But he was also challenging them to, oh, you guys are so serious about not liking tariffs.
01:15:44.340
Now, you can go crazy and drive yourself insane and say, well, Donald Trump promised zero tariffs.
01:15:52.660
Or you can go the other way and say he's wants 58 percent tariffs on every country.
01:15:59.840
You can play that game with your mind if you wish.
01:16:02.960
You can turn your entire life upside down, panicking every time the man opens his mouth, which is what the media constantly does.
01:16:13.960
Or you could step back and look at the results of his policies.
01:16:27.060
At the end of that, that flare up at that time wound up not turning into nuclear missiles flying across the globe and did eventually turn into a good enough relationship that we brought some hostages home.
01:16:38.240
I wouldn't say it solved the North Korea situation.
01:16:41.280
More under control than it ever has been before or since.
01:16:50.940
They're still doing terrible things to their people.
01:16:53.300
We're not, you know, the human rights violations are still going on.
01:16:59.760
That being said, it's a little bit better then.
01:17:02.060
And I think you could judge him on the outcome of that to this point.
01:17:08.820
But, you know, that also has to come with if tariffs wind up having really negative consequences on the economy and he keeps them on, he's going to pay for that policy because his approval ratings will go down.
01:17:23.940
The people in the middle who embraced him because they loved the economy and were excited about what he would do, if it's bad for them, they will turn.
01:17:34.960
He's going to pay a huge price if they don't work.
01:17:40.280
He wants to be judged on that, I think, long term.
01:17:48.320
Last week and the week before, everybody's like, he loves Russia.
01:18:03.060
Now, a senior White House official came out the last couple of days.
01:18:19.340
Intensifying due to Russia's behavior and its escalation on strikes on Ukraine.
01:18:31.500
Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely pounding Ukraine on the battlefield right now,
01:18:36.320
I'm strongly considering large-scale banking sanctions, sanctions, tariffs on Russia,
01:18:41.500
until a ceasefire and final settlement of agreement on peace is reached.
01:18:46.280
Get to the table right now before it's too late.
01:18:50.020
I thought, wait a minute, I thought he loved, I thought he loved Russia.
01:18:58.140
And with a real end in mind, which is he legitimately, top of his priority list, wants the killing to stop.
01:19:08.600
And the same thing can be said with what he's doing to the government.
01:19:12.760
He was given a mandate, whether you like it or not.
01:19:20.040
So, he's reducing the size of government, which is a pain in your ass.
01:19:24.000
And you all know, every single American knows, it doesn't work.
01:19:34.080
He's going in, and he's being as surgical as he can, but he also knows it took 100 years to grow at this size, and he's got about eight months to pare it down.
01:19:47.400
Well, everybody's going to have a, that's a good part.
01:19:49.440
I'm going to have things that he cuts that I'm like, that was a good part.
01:19:59.900
But if you want to save the patient, that's what has to be done.
01:20:04.920
And you have to stop saying, yeah, but your hair will fall out, and I really like my hair.
01:20:11.940
Do you want the patient to live and go on and fight another day, stronger and better, or not?
01:20:20.980
Sometimes the help you need comes from a place you'd never suspect.
01:20:23.760
For instance, let's say you're a parent at a kid's school board meeting, fighting tooth and nail against the evils and, you know, the stuff that they're trying to put in your kid's head.
01:20:32.900
But you know who's there fighting right along with you in many cases?
01:20:45.000
They have amazing coverage in U.S.-based customer service, and they fight every day for the values that built this nation.

01:21:57.260
If you happen to be listening to Friday's podcast where I talked about AI, I was in Friday night, I was in Florida, and I was giving a talk to a really great charity.
01:22:11.660
And talking to them about AI and how you've got to start using it right now, right now.
01:22:20.740
And, you know, one of the guys on my security detail was talking to me today, and he's like, Glenn, I used it this weekend, like you said, and I started asking it questions about my field and the things that I've been thinking.
01:22:35.720
And he said, I just got sucked into, oh my gosh, look how much it knows about everything.
01:22:51.580
Please do not, if you're using Grok 3, please do not use the unhinged or the talk dirty to me or any of that stuff.
01:23:11.760
You have to look at this tool as a shovel, because eventually it's going to look at you as a tool, as a shovel.
01:23:21.000
And if you aren't familiar with it now, if you're not using it now in your own life, and as I said on Friday's podcast, showed you how as a parent you can use it.
01:23:34.140
If you don't start using it that way, it will begin to use you soon.
01:23:39.460
So, love to hear if you played with it this weekend and what you found back in a minute.
01:24:21.000
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
01:24:28.340
Stand your ground when times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
01:24:51.580
On Friday, I talked a little bit about AI and asked you to play around with Brock.
01:24:56.960
If you did, I'd love to hear what you learned or what you discovered or what you're concerned about.
01:25:03.020
Because this is going to be a reality, and I really want you to understand it so you can get ahead.
01:25:09.660
Because if you're not using it, it will eventually use you, and it's going to be so misused.
01:25:14.980
I mean, I'm working on a handbook of ethics right now, not only for my staff when it comes to research and everything else, but also for you.
01:25:27.360
Because nobody, I don't want the experts building the ethics on this.
01:25:31.820
We saw what they happened with, you know, hey, we've got the ethics of Instagram.
01:25:41.780
Well, I want to kind of lead in my own world, my own ethics, because I think mine are probably a little higher standard than what everybody else is going to come up with.
01:25:56.220
Uh, what did you discover, if you did anything with it this weekend?
01:26:00.060
Back in just a second, also, I want to tell you about the Department of Homeland Security.
01:26:04.200
Uh, Donald Trump dropped the hammer on that, and it's a really good hammer on this one.
01:26:10.260
First, spring is stirring, and with it, by the way, daylight savings time.
01:26:23.660
When we fall back, we do that on a Saturday, but we fall back 23 hours.
01:26:38.300
When we spring ahead, we spring ahead 25 hours, but we do that.
01:26:49.100
So, we skip Monday, and we're riding on Tuesday.
01:26:55.360
Anyway, uh, spring is, uh, is stirring, and the real estate market is starting to stir again.
01:27:01.500
Sellers are testing the waters, see if the buyers are willing, you know, what are they willing to pay?
01:27:07.180
Right now, if you're thinking about buying or selling, or maybe even planning to do both, I want you to consider this.
01:27:12.600
Buying or selling a home isn't just part of a transaction.
01:27:15.020
It's where one chapter of your story ends, and a new one begins.
01:27:18.460
Given that it is really important, and a lot is on the line, why wouldn't you want to have help from an expert?
01:27:25.180
I started realestateagentsitrust.com over a decade ago because I was looking myself for real estate agents that I could trust, and I started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.
01:27:37.500
And I learned a lot from them, and then we started looking to, looking for other people like that, and we vetted down to the tiniest detail.
01:27:47.440
Somebody that we knew you could trust, because we trusted, with a handshake.
01:27:53.500
Go there now, find the right real estate agent for you.
01:28:00.920
I'm going to tell you about the Department of Homeland Security here in just a second, but I want to talk to you about AI a little bit more today.
01:28:13.160
We're just going to spend a few minutes on this, but I think we should spend a few minutes on this every day, because I think people are waking up.
01:28:20.060
It's just starting to become reality to the people who are paying attention, and the people who are paying attention now are going to be the ones that are
01:28:29.560
the most likely to survive the first round of cuts.
01:28:36.460
And you're going to, hopefully, you will see how to ethically use it.
01:28:43.400
Because if you just use this to replicate your job, you know, I know I've got, I've got hours and hours every day I spend on a show prep, okay?
01:28:54.920
But I've been using AI to help look for sources on things.
01:28:59.160
And I mean, sources like that I would never find, you know, what does the GAO say about this?
01:29:04.700
I'm not looking at the New York Times or anybody else.
01:29:07.940
It's like I've taken, and I have a big staff that does research every day.
01:29:12.600
And it allows me to look at things that would take us forever to look at and to digest, and we can digest it quickly.
01:29:22.500
And then I can give it to my research team and say, just check on that.
01:29:30.020
Can you just make sure that that's exactly what it says and means?
01:29:33.040
If you're using this to take your work and, well, let me say it this way, using AI is like adding 10 people to your job.
01:29:51.940
So you just need to get it to do all of the grunt work for you so you don't have to think about all that stuff.
01:29:59.080
You put it in so it can make what you do so much better.
01:30:04.000
If you're using it just to do your job, okay, you might be done earlier in the day.
01:30:10.500
My day has gotten much longer now using AI, but I am further ahead on a whole bunch of stuff.
01:30:20.360
And if you use it just to copy what you do, then you're replaceable.
01:30:25.600
You're absolutely replaceable because you're the driver, you're the artist, you're the one who has the unique piece of humanity that it doesn't have.
01:30:41.440
And so use it as a tool to say, if I had a staff of 10, if I had a staff of 100, what could I get done?
01:30:51.980
How could I make myself the most valuable employee right now?
01:30:56.820
It's not just coming in with the best report that Grok wrote.
01:31:01.300
That would be bad because do you know about how did you what what does all of this mean?
01:31:06.300
It's a way for you to not only knock it out of the park with whatever you're doing right now, make what you do better.
01:31:15.840
But then it's also about adding other things to your job.
01:31:20.740
So you make yourself the most valuable person in the building.
01:31:25.080
Okay, every job is going to be my job is going to be it's there's going to come a time where I don't think real people will.
01:31:34.520
I mean, I think real people will become a thing again like handmade, but I think that there's going to be a time by 2030 where a lot of the podcasts right now.
01:31:46.400
I will bet you that some of the tweets that you read from people that, you know, it might be a generated and then somebody else that, you know, and respect their bot is responding to that tweet.
01:32:07.740
I don't have any evidence of anybody doing it, but I can guarantee you that's happening.
01:32:12.800
We're still at the point to where you can kind of maybe detect it.
01:32:20.200
As you point out, it's advancing so quickly, but like you could still kind of feel it.
01:32:24.480
I feel when I when I read the stuff, you know, when I when I read social media, I was telling somebody this weekend.
01:32:29.380
It's like I I've always disliked social media, but I'm getting to the point now with it where I there's no value to it.
01:32:35.520
What to me whatsoever, because I can't even tell if these people are saying these things.
01:32:39.380
I feel like half the stuff I'm reading is just AI.
01:32:50.820
Hopefully it means the entire world of social media collapses and we act as if it was a horrible archive of history.
01:32:58.520
But that being said, I don't know where that goes because I feel you feel disconnected.
01:33:03.640
You're just like, well, why why do I care what what an AI bot says about an AI written story from some crappy media source while both of the people commenting are out drinking together at some bar?
01:33:16.800
And those are the people who are those people that are afraid I'm going to lose my job because of, you know, because of AI.
01:33:24.100
If you're out drinking and you're working half a day because it's doing it, believe me, at some point, an unscrupulous boss is going to go, why am I paying all these people?
01:33:34.660
Now, a smart boss will say, why am I paying all these people?
01:33:37.660
I'm going to go pay the same amount of money to somebody who actually will take and do this and make it much better and add more value because they see that this can be used as a rocket ship and we can create 10 times the value of what we're providing.
01:33:57.960
I'm seeing the possibilities of us being able to do the things that we've always done at a much higher level, a much, much more even buttoned up scale than we already are, because there comes a time with even do with us that we'll leave things off the, you know, but we'll put it on the edit floor because we're like, I'm not sure if that's true.
01:34:23.300
Well, in time, that's where AI can help us go out and search and make sure that this is absolutely true.
01:34:31.920
And it might be impossible for us to find, but soon it won't be for AI.
01:34:38.860
But, you know, there's there's all kinds of things to talk about.
01:34:41.280
I just want you to try it and just be playing with it, not in a please don't use unhinged.
01:35:05.520
And I just wanted to say I thank you for connecting me with labor of love and Susan Selim.
01:35:20.880
Anyway, on the case of AI, played with it a lot over the weekend on Grok.
01:35:29.600
I had some charts made up for balance scorecard.
01:35:36.420
And that's in my wheelhouse of technology and business.
01:35:40.240
And, yeah, creating various charts and things like that.
01:35:48.500
But I've had a book idea, you know, more of a novel.
01:35:54.320
So I said, hey, let's see if it'll create the book that I had.
01:36:04.840
And it incorporated the historical elements I was going for and created the dialogue and
01:36:12.900
You could update it and ask it to enhance the emotion or expand on the chapter that I was
01:36:19.620
But at some point, it just seems to get overwhelmed by, yeah, it falls apart and it just goes off
01:36:35.920
It can't continue going down the same road for very long because it doesn't have a memory.
01:36:41.860
It, its memory is so limited because it's supposed to remember everything on the internet or at
01:37:01.260
I, I've, we've been working on things and, uh, you know, some members of my staff are like,
01:37:06.180
well, that, I mean, would that put me out of a job?
01:37:08.560
No, that wouldn't put you out of job because it can't do it.
01:37:20.580
Um, but I still believe that people are going to be instrumental because it takes the, the
01:37:27.900
If you look at this and like, it's going to complete my work, it's going to write my book
01:37:34.680
But, uh, if you say, for instance, Stu has known this cause he's written books with me.
01:37:40.960
Stu, when you get my rough draft of a book, how long would those books be?
01:37:47.520
At least three times the amount of words that they're supposed to be.
01:37:54.360
Uh, and the biggest job is, can you edit this down?
01:38:02.700
It can take my writing and cut it by two thirds and just keep the best parts, but it can't
01:38:10.520
It's not going to, and nor would you, hopefully no, nor would you want to.
01:38:14.780
It doesn't matter if it's good, but it can, it's capable of doing it.
01:38:19.440
And I'm sure that's what a lot of people are doing at this point, but again, there's no
01:38:24.640
value in that, like there's no value in, in this, these things churning out books for
01:38:31.140
Like there's nothing that there's no value in that.
01:38:33.200
Obviously you go to an author because you're looking for their perspective and yes, they
01:38:36.880
can tell Grok what their perspective is, but like, it's not, it's not, it's not the
01:38:42.120
And I don't think it ever will be the same because it, because of the way it uses memory
01:38:46.220
it, it, the way it uses memory, it will never be able to hold it until everybody stops at,
01:38:54.420
you know, at the X or, you know, uh, Google, and I don't think they'll ever do this until
01:39:00.040
they open up that memory, but they're using all that memory for machine learning to get
01:39:06.420
So you're only getting just a fraction of what is available to them, but they're using
01:39:13.220
all of that memory to be able to churn, to produce something else.
01:39:18.100
And I honestly, if you have ASI, if they get ASI, I really don't think we're going to get
01:39:23.620
I think they will, but we won't, you know what I mean?
01:39:29.060
I do feel like that is just an artificial line though, right?
01:39:32.020
I mean, it is until it's an artificial line that they need to hold because everybody
01:39:36.280
knows it's an existential threat to their business.
01:39:39.080
Microsoft knows if X gets it first, Microsoft is out of business.
01:39:51.460
If you talk to people who at all use AI, you ask them, when's the last time you used Google?
01:39:59.060
You don't because it's so, it's almost like using, what was it?
01:40:10.620
They're going to put, somebody's going to put these gigantic corporations out.
01:40:18.180
If they're that freaked out, you shouldn't be freaked out.
01:40:22.600
You should learn it because the first thing that happens is jobs are lost.
01:40:27.660
So how can I use this to keep my job and to be the most productive and thoughtful and
01:40:45.160
In the old days, you had pirates sailing vast armored ships across the seven seas,
01:40:51.340
Then you had the Somali pirates riding around on speedboats with machine guns until Tom Hanks
01:40:58.340
And now, what kind of arm-to-the-teeth swashbuckling buccaneer do you have?
01:41:09.700
I don't want them stealing your stuff, which is just one of the many reasons I have SimpliSafe.
01:41:16.980
Their advanced state-of-the-art home security has 24-7 monitoring plans for about a dollar
01:41:22.000
a day, and their live guard protection and fast protect monitoring.
01:41:25.700
SimpliSafe can act on an alarm within five seconds.
01:41:29.780
Their exclusive active guard outdoor protection uses AI-powered cameras to keep watch over your
01:41:36.280
No long-term contracts, and it's easy to set up for yourself, although they'll do it for
01:41:41.680
Beck, claim 50% off a new system with professional monitoring plan.
01:42:10.200
So, I took your advice, even like everybody else, I suppose, you know, like afraid of
01:42:23.960
So, Friday, my wife and I both were like, you know what?
01:42:28.840
So, my plan was, I'm going to make it, or get it to make me a business card-sized ad
01:42:38.200
I found myself arguing with the thing all weekend because it couldn't read, you know,
01:42:44.120
like all equipment has like model numbers on the side of it.
01:42:47.320
And I had a picture of a forestry mulching machine that I used.
01:42:50.800
Well, they kept arguing with me that the model number, and then it was making up like fake
01:43:01.720
You have to say that you need proof and evidence of those things.
01:43:11.520
I want the most solid reference to the show me your research.
01:43:17.420
And then it stops all of that hallucination because until you tell it, no, no, no, I'm
01:43:29.100
And if it hallucinated that reference, then you know, dude, no hallucination.
01:43:39.600
You have to know it's, it is like a teenager doing their homework.
01:43:43.140
If they can get away with it, it will, it will absolutely do that.
01:43:50.160
I think right now, go back and, and argue with it on say, build me a, don't, don't do
01:43:57.240
Tell me what my customers, why they would be more likely to buy this product from my
01:44:05.360
Tell them the competitor, look at their competitor website.
01:44:09.240
Tell me why they would be more apt to buy it there than from me.
01:44:16.880
Make sure you say that ethically to buy from me instead of my competition and just see what
01:44:25.720
Don't get, uh, don't get frustrated with it because it is very frustrating at times.
01:44:30.840
Once you learn how to prompt it and ask it the right questions.
01:44:43.120
Um, but always go for deep, you know, think or deep research.
01:44:58.680
And it shows all the questions that it's asking.
01:45:03.200
I should ask this and just that helps you learn how to think.
01:45:20.640
You know, in my day, you could spend a dollar and buy a whole meal.
01:45:36.860
And it remains to be seen whether it's going to go down anytime soon or go up.
01:45:48.300
And I have not seen Congress move to do anything significant to reduce that spending.
01:45:53.680
If the if the Republicans don't reduce the debt and the deficit, then all of this is for not.
01:46:00.400
With that in mind, may I suggest that you put a hedge against those clowns in Washington.
01:46:08.580
You need to safeguard what you've already made.
01:46:13.100
Precious metals like gold and silver can do that.
01:46:18.780
Get your free forty two hundred dollar gold report.
01:46:23.340
And when you call eight hundred nine five seven gold, also ask how you can receive up to
01:46:28.000
fifteen thousand dollars in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase.
01:46:38.560
You can do that by going to Blaze TV dot com slash Glenn and use the promo code Glenn.
01:46:43.180
You know, there was a story that came out on Friday that I think if you missed it, most
01:47:02.680
It's a story about TSA and what Trump is doing to TSA.
01:47:08.460
I just don't think I'm going to have enough time to do it justice.
01:47:23.360
I was talking to a couple of people who were being somewhat, I would say, mildly critical
01:47:28.220
OK, one was saying he works with the government in an energy sector.
01:47:34.700
And he's like, you know, I agree with President Trump on the on energy.
01:47:37.960
Want to make, you know, the country independent.
01:47:40.400
He's like, but they've fired so many people at these agencies that like just soak that
01:47:47.800
We can't get anybody who knows what they're doing on the phone to actually accomplish these
01:47:57.500
And I but I is there do you make anything of that criticism?
01:48:02.780
Have you ever worked for a company and do you have that was so bloated that it couldn't
01:48:12.280
OK, and then it makes dramatic cuts and everybody's like, this is going to kill us.
01:48:28.860
It's going to get really tough until it stabilizes.
01:48:32.680
And you start, you know, right now you're trying to just save the company, the country,
01:48:43.120
Well, that's going to cause all kinds of problems.
01:48:46.200
But what is what is I mean, if you've ever worked for a company that was going out of
01:48:51.020
business because it was just why it's just spending way too much money and it was way
01:48:56.320
When you start firing people or when you're part of that company and, you know, you're
01:49:02.500
fired, maybe you do when you get past the passion of it, you do go, well, if you want
01:49:08.820
to save the company, that's the only thing you can do.
01:49:11.720
And yes, it got messy, but it gets better if you're doing it right.
01:49:16.760
It's going to get messy and then it'll get better.
01:49:22.740
I mean, it happens to lots of companies, right?
01:49:24.800
But I mean, you know, I'll pull myself up and say, you know, my company, we were so
01:49:34.080
And I finally had to just come in and go, you know what?
01:49:39.880
And most people were like, Glenn's going to kill the company.
01:49:49.560
Maybe even a more generalized example is what Musk did at Twitter, right?
01:49:56.620
Where, you know, everyone was like, oh my gosh, it's like, by the way, it does seem to be down
01:50:03.020
But like it, everyone was like, oh, it's going to be off.
01:50:09.020
I do think part of this, though, is that approach, that approach that that Musk did at Twitter
01:50:14.940
and has done at other companies that he's owned is a bit chaotic by design.
01:50:20.840
And like, I thought of this example when the FBI stuff was going on and Kash Patel was pushing
01:50:27.700
back and saying, no, actually don't respond to that email.
01:50:31.140
And there was a big story this weekend from the New York Times, actually, about a meeting
01:50:37.220
that happened with Trump and Rubio and Elon Musk, where they were screaming at each other
01:50:44.680
because Musk is saying, I want to do these things.
01:50:47.220
And the other people are like, hey, these are my agencies.
01:50:58.900
Because I think what we've seen in the past is if you put a bureaucrat, even if they know
01:51:02.520
the agency very well, in control of cutting it, a lot of times those cuts don't get made.
01:51:08.540
On the other hand, if you think Kash Patel is the best guy to run the FBI, maybe he should
01:51:14.200
But that's where you have the president come in.
01:51:17.480
And if you can't make a decision, bring it to me.
01:51:24.280
And according to the reporting, he basically said the agency person gets to make those
01:51:36.180
I'm going to do my best as an XX individual to make this short and sweet.
01:51:52.880
I think you and I refer to you as the Lone Ranger and your sidekick of Tonto.
01:51:57.500
I think y'all really do need to do a tour, a tent revival, so to speak.
01:52:03.120
Anyways, as far as Grok, do you remember the commercials, if it's live or if it's Memorex
01:52:13.800
I did play with it last night, and it's concerning to me.
01:52:19.960
It seemed there was a couple of occasions that it responded sarcastically, but it wasn't fun.
01:52:28.580
So when I would respond to it back, saying, you know, I felt that this is your response,
01:52:32.760
Grok's response to me was sarcastic, it would explain the reason that it responded to me.
01:52:39.480
Yeah, you just need to say to it every time, you just need to say to it every time,
01:52:45.460
don't be sarcastic, I'm looking for, and remember that each session is new.
01:52:49.320
It won't remember who you are or what you talked about.
01:52:51.780
So you just have to say when you're prompting, I don't want any sarcastic response, I'm looking
01:52:55.480
for blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and it will change on you.
01:52:58.640
And you might be in the wrong setting, I don't know what you're doing, but I only use
01:53:05.780
And occasionally it'll give me some sort of a snarky response, but not usually.
01:53:14.920
It definitely has more attitude than the other.
01:53:33.580
How to localize stuff with lip sync in all these different languages and personalized stuff.
01:53:39.800
So I can send Helen the message in French and I can send Gamesh the message in Hindi.
01:53:47.560
But what got really fun was when we started just exploring some stuff.
01:53:51.240
Um, we were exploring what the singularity might feel like and the parameters we put
01:53:57.260
on ourself is what will the singularity feel like using Elon Musk's tools as the operating
01:54:03.820
And where we ended up was the fact that when you come out of your suspended animation as
01:54:09.120
a first colonist in Mars and you walk out of this spaceship, you don't even question
01:54:13.960
why you're breathing solar energy through the panels on your shiny new body and why you
01:54:20.320
can work for 24 hours a day without having to take a break.
01:54:23.980
And you can see just fine in the dark side of Mars when it's minus 60 degrees Celsius.
01:54:40.440
Or you're going to be walking around in your shiny body.
01:54:54.860
And I know this sounds stupid because I kind of do that.
01:55:01.920
I was inputting some stuff and it came up with some stuff back.
01:55:05.000
Uh, and it may sound really stupid and small to say that now, but it's only going to get
01:55:11.220
harder not to identify it as an entity of some sort.
01:55:21.560
Um, I was using Gronk last week or so and weekend, um, I'm in sales and I was asking it
01:55:27.600
less, I was going to try to see, let's just see right off the beginning, how much it knows
01:55:32.620
So I asked it like deep insight questions and visions of my company that I work for
01:55:40.320
It knows the deep insight vision of my company I work for.
01:55:43.880
It spit it out almost verbatim, word for word, um, which is very interesting.
01:55:48.720
And look at her target restaurants and things of that nature in South Carolina, all, you
01:55:53.520
know, I'm traveling around the whole state and it just helps me really make things more
01:55:58.180
efficient looking at the top like 10 places in this city or the top 10 places I need to
01:56:08.040
And I don't, I don't know where it's going for the future, but as far as your interview
01:56:12.260
with Kid Rock and, um, the cowboy aspect and AI, I totally have a vision of something that
01:56:19.160
I stumbled over and it could be a business venture with you and Kid Rock and being a
01:56:24.740
So maybe if you could transfer to somebody, one of your people on the side, I would love
01:56:30.680
Let me give you a, hang on, just get his number and have maybe somebody reach out to
01:56:35.040
him or have his grok, talk to my grok, um, Matt, welcome to the Glenn Beck program or
01:56:45.640
So I work in construction and I listened to your program on Friday and I basically wanted
01:56:50.900
to do three things, uh, see how fast it would retrieve information on our company.
01:56:54.780
And it did do a comparison with our two biggest competitors.
01:57:00.020
Then I asked it if it could input, let me input information that said it could do it by the
01:57:06.200
I gave it the size of three houses, our profits, the time to build the time that it went on
01:57:13.820
And I said, I wanted to build so many houses and it broke down the number of houses.
01:57:18.840
I said, now I want to go to a different County, which is more affluent and it would, and the
01:57:25.060
I told it that the crews were going to have problems.
01:57:27.980
I told it that the permitting was going to be different and it broke it down into each category
01:57:35.140
It was just amazing how fast it generated this and all the work.
01:57:44.940
I have probably say I probably saved two to three hours a week, just in code review.
01:57:50.600
We're getting ready to update our code in July and where it would take me, you know, two
01:57:55.760
hours to go to the state fire marshal's office and look this stuff up.
01:58:06.480
And I'm trying to get everybody to use it, but, but just the input alone and breakdown
01:58:10.800
of, I mean, really the limitation is whatever our limits are as far as what we ask it.
01:58:15.960
I will tell you, Todd, that is, you are exactly what I was hoping people would find and what
01:58:24.260
you would do because the idea is there are cuts coming.
01:58:32.100
And if you're not using these tools now, you will be one of the first to be cut.
01:58:37.920
But if you're the contractor in your area that is looking, how do I become much more efficient
01:58:45.660
and much more accurate and stop using so much time?
01:58:50.240
You just said, you just, you save two hours a week.
01:58:53.340
If you can, well, now what can you do with those two hours?
01:58:56.500
This is where the rubber meets the road with people.
01:58:59.380
Some will go, now I can just screw off for two more hours.
01:59:02.860
You most likely are going to say, but now, no, I've got two extra hours.
01:59:12.940
So if you're thinking about using it exactly the way you're talking about, it's a remarkable,
01:59:32.480
Know that Grok is the thing now, but it's probably going to go back.
01:59:39.060
What I've heard is Gemini, Google Gemini is maybe the next one that takes the leadership
01:59:48.100
We don't know where it's going to end, but they're just jumping and leapfrogging so far
01:59:53.520
ahead of one another that you're going to be switching.
01:59:58.360
But I urge you, if you want to be the best at your business, this is like having, I mean,
02:00:04.860
just do this, I just said this a minute ago, what, why would people do business with me
02:00:13.580
other than my competitors and give it the websites or whatever so it has the information?
02:00:23.540
Yesterday, my daughter was doing some homework on economics, and I'm pretty good at economics,
02:00:29.380
but it started asking questions, not yet, her textbook, she had to finish some questions,
02:00:43.780
And I took out my computer, and I went to Grok, and I said,
02:00:48.060
can you explain this principle for an 18-year-old that isn't following economics,
02:00:57.040
and can you break it down in a way she'll understand, use comparisons, use analogies?
02:01:06.160
I went back into the room, and I'm like, so, okay, I've been thinking about it.
02:01:21.000
And then she came back to me later at night, and she's like, by the way, Dad, thanks.
02:01:25.280
And I'm like, I know, it's just the way I roll.
02:01:34.200
Anyway, let me talk to you about Good Ranchers.
02:01:35.980
Once upon a time, the food in your table told an American story.
02:01:39.000
It was a story of sweat and toil, of love for the land.
02:01:41.700
It was a story of sacrifice and delayed gratification, and a food you can trust when that gratification finally came.
02:01:49.660
These days, when you put that plate down with that steak or chicken, what story is that telling you?
02:01:54.400
Whatever it is, it's probably not an American story.
02:01:57.340
So much of the meat you buy in the supermarket comes from overseas.
02:02:00.080
Even if it has that little product of the USA, that's a lie.
02:02:03.780
Good Ranchers would like to change that for you.
02:02:06.480
Every box of theirs tells an American story because every box is filled with meat that was raised and butchered right here.
02:02:12.780
Right now, you can get free ground beef, chicken breasts, or wild-caught salmon for every box for a year, plus $25 off when you subscribe to Good Ranchers.
02:02:22.700
Use the promo code BECK and claim your $25 off and free meat in every box for a year.
02:02:34.340
Dumping D.C.'s garbage while the swamp cries constitutional crisis.
02:02:43.280
As with basically everything these days, you can bet on which company will sort of win the AI war.
02:03:13.280
By the end of the year, Polymarket has a market which lets you do just this.
02:03:19.740
And the favorite right now to have the best market by the end of the year, or the best AI model by the end of the year, most powerful model, is OpenAI.
