00:02:48.800 Hello, America.

00:02:50.280 Welcome to Monday.

00:02:51.260 Got a lot to cover.

00:02:52.520 One of the biggest stories this weekend, at least for me, was the slaughter of Christians all around the world. 1.00

00:02:58.680 What is really going on in Syria?

00:03:01.080 We'll tell you about it.

00:03:02.160 It's complex and kind of hard to figure out who's who, but once you do, you realize,

00:03:08.960 Oh, and I'm going to try to give you that.

00:03:11.160 Ah, you get it now.

00:03:12.580 Moment here in just a second.

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.

00:03:23.460 The TSA.

00:03:24.400 I can't wait to tell you about that nightmare.

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.

00:03:35.620 Okay, well, let's talk about that.

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.

00:03:42.060 We'll give you that.

00:03:43.520 We begin in 60 seconds.

00:03:45.180 Stand by.

00:03:46.100 All right.

00:03:46.480 You're out fishing and fishing on the side of the lake with your grandkids.

00:03:50.700 Beautiful early summer day.

00:03:52.020 Birds are singing in the tree.

00:03:53.260 The kids are giggling.

00:03:54.520 Life is feeling pretty great.

00:03:55.940 And then it hits you.

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.

00:04:06.880 It is a perfect morning until then.

00:04:09.920 May I recommend something?

00:04:11.360 I want you to try Relief Factor.

00:04:13.280 Over a million kids have tried their Quick Start Kids.

00:04:15.600 70% of them have gone on to order it again.

00:04:25.660 But if it does, you get your life back.

00:04:31.440 Try Relief Factor.

00:04:32.360 It's easy.

00:04:32.840 Three-week Quick Start.

00:04:33.800 $19.95.

00:04:34.680 Less than a dollar a day.

00:04:35.640 Call 800-4-RELIEF.

00:04:37.120 That's 800-4-RELIEF. 0.91

00:04:38.680 Or visit relieffactor.com.

00:04:41.720 Okay.

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.

00:04:52.180 Assad's been overthrown.

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.

00:05:04.780 He went to join Al-Qaeda during the Iraq War.

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.

00:05:20.240 He's not credible.

00:05:22.120 He's a terrorist.

00:05:25.600 Okay.

00:05:26.240 So now that we have that out of line, one more thing.

00:05:30.740 Assad was a really bad guy.

00:05:34.760 Wait a minute, Glenn.

00:05:35.440 There's got to be one of the two.

00:05:37.080 I just live in this world of black and white.

00:05:39.460 There's no third option.

00:05:41.300 No, there is.

00:05:42.000 Both of them suck, kind of like Zelensky and Putin.

00:05:50.160 Which one do you love?

00:05:51.660 I don't love either of them.

00:05:53.300 But you have to.

00:05:54.160 You have to pick one of the two.

00:05:55.760 No, they both suck.

00:05:57.420 All right.

00:05:57.680 So here's the thing.

00:06:00.420 The Assad and his family, they were Alawite. 1.00

00:06:04.960 They were minority, traditional Assad loyalists, all of them. 0.97

00:06:08.720 But they're not real diehards. 0.86

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. 0.97

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. 1.00

00:06:41.220 What?

00:06:41.960 Convert or die.

00:06:42.760 Kind of an old story in the Middle East.

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.

00:06:54.860 But it's still a very big problem.

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.

00:07:04.060 They're just slaughtering them.

00:07:04.880 Okay, many are, if not all, are minority groups, like Alawites and Christians.

00:07:12.680 But, you know, this is the thing you do.

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. 1.00

00:07:24.540 And this is the way they did it.

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.

00:07:32.920 No, no, no, we'll cut anybody's head off.

00:07:36.640 Okay, that's accurate.

00:07:38.140 There you go.

00:07:40.260 And whenever this happens, bad people gain power, and Christians lose their heads. 0.95

00:07:53.480 They were Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria.

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?

00:08:12.020 No, no, he's seriously.

00:08:15.700 Oh, he's a big DEI guy.

00:08:18.200 No, he's a big D-I-E guy.

00:08:22.880 So, we know where this is eventually going to lead.

00:08:25.440 And then you add the sectarianism in Syria.

00:08:27.940 It goes back to the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

00:08:30.140 I love all of the Ottoman Empire talk.

00:08:33.220 It's so sexy.

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. 0.99

00:08:46.700 Okay?

00:08:46.940 And it's impacting the former Al-Qaeda group that is now running Syria.

00:08:53.400 It's, so, you know, HTS.

00:08:55.020 They're the people running.

00:08:57.440 But the Assad family, the Alawites, they would have never gotten any power if it wasn't for the French. 1.00

00:09:05.540 Oh, it's a Sykes-Picot. 0.98

00:09:07.840 Oh, you know what's better than talking about the Ottoman Empire? 0.71

00:09:11.760 The Sykes-Picot compact.

00:09:13.700 Oh, yeah.

00:09:14.560 Oh, that agreement was so sexy.

00:09:18.400 In modern times, here's what we keep doing.

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.

00:09:31.060 Let me ask you something.

00:09:32.880 How have things been going in the last hundred years?

00:09:36.920 Well, they were great.

00:09:38.480 We had World War I and then World War II.

00:09:41.080 Okay, okay.

00:09:42.180 All right.

00:09:43.160 Might want to tell you something.

00:09:45.040 What started World War II again? 0.68

00:09:48.020 It was Hitler. 0.92

00:09:48.720 I know Hitler was the thing that we all look at and go, very bad.

00:09:57.260 And again, he was 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.

00:10:15.600 That's how it happened.

00:10:17.740 Okay.

00:10:18.580 It all comes back to Woodrow Wilson.

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.

00:10:30.840 Not good.

00:10:31.980 Why?

00:10:32.660 Why was he the guy?

00:10:34.560 Because we, as in the West, put him there.

00:10:40.080 Why would we do that if he was such a bad guy?

00:10:42.820 Because we like bad guys in the Middle East. 1.00

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.

00:10:59.360 That's what happened.

00:11:00.860 And that's what's happening again.

00:11:02.100 We used to like people like Assad.

00:11:04.960 I never did.

00:11:05.960 Not a good thing.

00:11:07.800 We used to like people like Assad until, until what?

00:11:12.740 Until we got Obama.

00:11:14.600 And then Clinton.

00:11:16.420 And then Biden.

00:11:18.260 That's why.

00:11:19.620 We keep doing this over and over and over again.

00:11:26.040 You know, I got to tell you.

00:11:27.580 I wanted to get, I wanted to do some real sexy talk about the Ottoman Empire.

00:11:32.840 And then I just got it sidetracked.

00:11:34.300 I just got sidetracked.

00:11:35.620 I'm sorry.

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.

00:11:42.800 Oh yeah, baby.

00:11:44.960 The young Turks.

00:11:46.120 They were so hot.

00:11:49.220 They were drunk on power.

00:11:50.860 And you know what happens then.

00:11:52.600 Well, they, they kill 1.5 Armenian, uh, Christians, 1.5 million.

00:11:57.460 That's what usually what happens.

00:11:58.780 And then the porn kind of goes bad.

00:12:00.620 All of a sudden you're like, wow, there's a lot of dead bodies around here.

00:12:03.380 Yeah.

00:12:03.780 Well, that's progressive pornography for you. 0.99

00:12:06.360 Men, women, children marched into the desert, starved, beaten, and then slaughtered.

00:12:11.980 But just 1.5 million Christians.

00:12:15.580 Why?

00:12:16.980 Because they wouldn't bend the knee to the regime that demanded their souls.

00:12:21.880 Let me give it to you in today's language.

00:12:26.740 Islamicists versus Christians. 0.99

00:12:30.080 I think I've seen this movie before.

00:12:32.220 Yeah.

00:12:33.200 Now history calls it the Armenian genocide.

00:12:36.240 The Turks don't. 1.00

00:12:37.740 They're like genocide.

00:12:38.800 What are you talking about?

00:12:40.300 The United States won't even call it that.

00:12:43.740 But it's a, it's a real scar.

00:12:45.940 It's a, it's a lesson.

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

00:12:52.180 blood there in the desert.

00:12:53.680 Now fast forward to the 1930s.

00:12:55.880 What happened?

00:12:56.980 Is he going to talk about the Nazis again?

00:12:58.700 Mm-hmm.

00:13:00.040 He just loves the Nazis. 0.88

00:13:02.220 Nazi Germany rises. 0.86

00:13:05.560 Who becomes the current target?

00:13:07.780 Jews.

00:13:08.840 Six million Jews snuffed out.

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 0.98

00:13:22.520 world didn't care when the Turks tried to kill all of the Christian Armenians.

00:13:29.620 Wait a minute.

00:13:30.820 That might be something we should avoid.

00:13:33.820 It happens over and over and over again.

00:13:38.640 Power shifts, ideologies clash.

00:13:42.400 And then who pays the price?

00:13:44.400 The innocent.

00:13:46.560 Go back at Syria. 0.98

00:13:48.340 December 2024.

00:13:50.700 Assad falls.

00:13:51.580 And this new guy, the HTS group, led by Abu Muhammad Al-Jawani.

00:14:03.460 I love that guy.

00:14:04.740 Who doesn't think that Abu would be a great guy? 1.00

00:14:07.780 Wasn't he in that cartoon with Robin Williams?

00:14:12.940 No, that was the monkey.

00:14:15.160 The world was cheering for a moment.

00:14:18.700 Oh, this is great.

00:14:19.820 The tyrant's gone.

00:14:21.140 Yeah.

00:14:21.760 Yeah.

00:14:22.360 And then he pulls out his big sword.

00:14:25.680 Okay.

00:14:26.280 The executions.

00:14:28.440 First ones, 13 dead.

00:14:30.560 Maybe 58.

00:14:31.740 13, 58.

00:14:32.880 Who's really counting?

00:14:34.580 Then last week, 311 Alawites.

00:14:38.280 And they're saying now 1,000 Christians.

00:14:41.840 We don't know.

00:14:43.080 We don't know.

00:14:43.600 Because who's telling the truth?

00:14:45.220 Who actually is telling the truth?

00:14:47.700 Because it seems like there's a lot of bad people involved on all sides.

00:14:51.680 But here's what's not new.

00:14:53.420 Here's what we can confirm.

00:14:55.400 Killing.

00:14:56.480 Lots and lots of killing.

00:14:58.020 It's not new.

00:14:58.880 Same playbook.

00:14:59.680 When Islamists take over, ISIS, Boko Haram, now HTS, pattern repeats. 0.84

00:15:08.940 Christians, Yazidis, minorities, given a choice, convert, run, or die. 1.00

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.

00:15:27.700 Did you know that?

00:15:28.540 Did you know that?

00:15:29.980 12,000 Christians since 2020.

00:15:35.140 I know, but we had Joe Biden.

00:15:37.600 It was almost as bad.

00:15:38.940 No, no, I don't think it was.

00:15:40.500 Don't think it was.

00:15:41.900 They kidnapped thousands more kids, girls, as young as 12.

00:15:47.040 They're now slaves, being raped every day.

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.

00:16:02.560 How'd that happen?

00:16:04.520 Syria's own Christians, once a million strong, down to 300,000.

00:16:08.260 And that was before the latest chaos.

00:16:10.520 Now, here's what's crazy.

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. 0.99

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. 0.98

00:16:36.040 So why are they the ones we're accepting and not the Christians that are actually losing their heads? 0.83

00:16:42.080 I don't know.

00:16:45.800 In 2021, 5,621 Christians were killed worldwide for their faith, most under Islamic hands.

00:16:55.420 It's not a statistic.

00:16:56.780 This is becoming a growing graveyard now.

00:17:00.220 So what happens when these groups take over?

00:17:03.280 Killing.

00:17:06.400 You know, we have the Nazarene Fund.

00:17:08.040 You know what that's from?

00:17:09.400 The Arabic N for Nazarene.

00:17:12.940 They would put that on the doors of anybody who believed in Jesus.

00:17:16.560 You'd pay a tax.

00:17:17.960 You'd convert.

00:17:19.380 Or you'd die.

00:17:21.240 Churches have been burned.

00:17:22.720 Crosses torn down.

00:17:23.880 Families torn apart.

00:17:25.060 Slaves.

00:17:25.780 Actual slaves.

00:17:26.860 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:17:27.480 I would, in the 1850s, I would have been on the right side of that. 0.83

00:17:31.120 What are you doing now?

00:17:31.980 What are you doing now?

00:17:35.340 Sold in markets just like the Dark Ages, but not as bad as it was in South Carolina.

00:17:43.480 Yeah.

00:17:44.180 Yeah.

00:17:44.580 Just as bad.

00:17:46.000 Just as bad.

00:17:47.840 But I know.

00:17:49.080 I know.

00:17:49.880 Your friends, they all would be fighting against that right now.

00:17:54.480 Ooh.

00:17:54.940 Except they're not.

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.

00:18:10.440 Hey, do we have that classic Hillary thing? 1.00

00:18:12.180 Because let me just give you this.

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. 0.69

00:18:29.460 When that one was done, because it was so spontaneous, then they decided, let's overthrow Libya. 0.93

00:18:36.140 And remember, remember what Hillary said?

00:18:40.320 We came, we saw, he died.

00:18:43.040 Oh, it was so funny when they were dragging his body through the streets.

00:18:46.340 That was a bad guy.

00:18:47.840 But what's happened since?

00:18:50.580 Oh, I remember.

00:18:52.420 Benghazi.

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. 0.84

00:19:02.460 So they armed, and then we didn't want them to have their arms anymore.

00:19:06.080 That was really dangerous.

00:19:07.020 We got to get them to the people who are going to help us in Syria.

00:19:10.240 The people who are now in charge of Syria.

00:19:13.020 You know, the ones killing the Christians. 1.00

00:19:17.020 Yeah.

00:19:17.840 Yeah, that's what happened.

00:19:21.220 And Joe Biden doubled down.

00:19:25.160 They were telling us that these guys are good guys.

00:19:28.660 They weren't good guys.

00:19:31.420 We have a monster.

00:19:33.400 Regime changers come in, and then they're like, oh, we need a new monster. 1.00

00:19:38.000 And so they find a new monster.

00:19:39.720 All of it, it ends in violent extremists every single time.

00:19:43.340 They get power.

00:19:44.240 A new monster arrives.

00:19:45.820 Rinse and repeat.

00:19:46.460 That's what's happening.

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.

00:19:55.940 More in just a second.

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. 0.99

00:20:14.460 In the Holy Land, the birthplace of the Jewish and Christian faith, there is a fight happening right now.

00:20:19.600 It's a fight for what's right, what's decent.

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.

00:20:40.120 I don't know which one of those is good.

00:20:42.080 Neither of them.

00:20:44.000 The need hasn't stopped.

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.

00:20:53.560 Supportifcj.org.

00:20:54.520 That's just one word.

00:20:55.900 Go to supportifcj.org.

00:20:58.320 Or call 888-488-IFCJ.

00:21:01.760 888-488-IFCJ.

00:21:04.420 International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

00:21:06.360 10 seconds.

00:21:06.860 Station ID.

00:21:18.540 You know, I want to remind you that there is something you can do besides just be involved politically.

00:21:25.800 Mercury won.

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.

00:21:41.200 We are in places that are so dangerous.

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.

00:21:59.280 And you have saved.

00:22:00.720 I don't have the actual number.

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.

00:22:12.480 Maybe, maybe closer to 40,000 people.

00:22:15.480 I mean, you've done a remarkable thing.

00:22:17.400 But you're the one that runs toward the fire, not away from it.

00:22:24.120 Nazarene Fund, Mercury won.

00:22:25.780 They're already on the ground in Syria.

00:22:28.460 They're ready to go.

00:22:30.640 We have the people.

00:22:31.820 We have the contacts.

00:22:33.460 Believe it or not, they have the courage.

00:22:35.140 I don't.

00:22:35.480 They do.

00:22:35.820 We just need the fuel and your help.

00:22:38.860 If we don't, it's going to turn into another Rwanda. 1.00

00:22:42.200 It's really bad.

00:22:43.360 Please pass this on to your pastor or whoever that you know might care and can help.

00:22:49.620 I want you to just go to mercuryone.org.

00:22:55.500 Mercuryone.org.

00:22:56.500 I don't know which thing.

00:22:57.800 You could just give it to the general fund.

00:22:59.700 I don't know.

00:23:00.280 Or you can go to nazarenefund.org.

00:23:02.640 Either one of those.

00:23:03.900 They're both working.

00:23:07.080 Nazarenefund.org is probably the one that's going to really be helping the Christians in Syria and persecuted minorities.

00:23:14.080 That's their only mission.

00:23:16.000 So either one.

00:23:16.880 Mercuryone.org or nazarenefund.org.

00:23:21.360 This is Glenn Beck.

00:23:25.260 All right.

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.

00:23:40.680 What happened there?

00:23:42.760 Anyway, while the good news is that it's going down, bad news is all it takes is one encounter.

00:23:47.820 You could lose your life.

00:23:48.980 You could lose somebody close to you.

00:23:50.320 It's not worth the risk.

00:23:51.280 So what do you do?

00:23:51.980 You arm yourself, right?

00:23:53.440 We have the Second Amendment for several reasons.

00:23:55.620 Self-protection is one of them.

00:23:56.900 I am a guy who carries a gun, and I believe in my wife carrying a gun. 0.99

00:24:01.840 But what about an encounter where the attacker doesn't have to pay with his life?

00:24:06.500 They do exist.

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.

00:24:30.460 It's legal in all 50 states.

00:24:32.380 You should own one.

00:24:33.480 There's no permits or any kind of background check required.

00:25:02.820 Well, let's say hello to Mr. Stu Bergeer, executive producer on the program.

00:25:07.840 Hello, Stu.

00:25:08.420 Hello, Glenn.

00:25:08.840 How are you?

00:25:09.240 I'm great.

00:25:09.860 How are you?

00:25:10.240 Really well.

00:25:11.680 Everything's going great, and I'm excited about it.

00:25:14.120 Yeah, right?

00:25:14.980 That's the way to do 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.

00:25:32.380 Are you really?

00:25:34.900 Unofficially official.

00:25:36.580 Wow, it's that official that it's unofficial.

00:25:38.880 Yes.

00:25:39.280 Keeping it on the down low.

00:25:40.660 Exactly.

00:25:41.140 They're pretending that you're not.

00:25:42.920 They like to pretend.

00:25:44.280 They give everybody a little wink.

00:25:46.320 Yeah.

00:25:46.780 Yeah.

00:25:47.100 He can't bring you in.

00:25:48.220 Yeah.

00:25:48.840 But you're wearing that anyway.

00:25:50.460 But I'm wearing it.

00:25:51.160 Yeah.

00:25:51.700 So that must mean I can't.

00:25:53.060 Right.

00:25:53.460 And so do you see a lot of people run when you walk into stores with that?

00:25:56.820 Almost everybody.

00:25:58.220 Almost everybody.

00:25:59.220 That's weird.

00:25:59.480 Where I live, almost everybody runs.

00:26:00.960 Oh, really?

00:26:01.260 Okay.

00:26:01.660 All right.

00:26:02.480 I wanted to bring you in because I heard a couple of takes, a couple of audio pieces

00:26:09.580 on your show today.

00:26:10.640 And I just wanted you to take us through Hank Johnson and Al Green.

00:26:15.180 Yeah, geez.

00:26:15.980 Which one do you want to start with?

00:26:17.640 Oh, man.

00:26:18.700 It's so hard to choose.

00:26:19.900 I know.

00:26:20.440 Let's start with Al Green.

00:26:21.360 Yeah.

00:26:21.620 I was going to suggest.

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.

00:26:31.280 Yes.

00:26:31.640 Right?

00:26:32.180 Yes.

00:26:32.500 Right.

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

00:26:36.520 with a cane.

00:26:37.740 Anyway, here he is claiming that, well, you listen.

00:26:41.500 Got 11.

00:26:41.860 There is invidious discrimination in the House of Representatives.

00:26:46.100 I'm a son of the segregated South.

00:26:48.840 The rights that the Constitution recognized for me, my friends and neighbors denied.

00:26:54.740 I had to sit in the back of the bus.

00:26:56.220 Yeah, in the South.

00:26:56.940 The balcony of the movie.

00:26:58.120 Drink from a colored water fountain.

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.

00:27:08.100 The Klan burned a cross in my yard.

00:27:10.600 I have, I know what it smells 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

00:27:18.200 what it sounds like.

00:27:19.000 I've been called all kinds of ugly names.

00:27:20.660 So I know invidious discrimination.

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

00:27:37.800 were.

00:27:38.260 It's not invidious.

00:27:38.720 And candidly speaking, it is invidious discrimination.

00:27:42.380 I told you, it is invidious discrimination.

00:27:44.800 I'm not sure I've ever heard the word invidious.

00:27:46.620 Yeah, I hadn't until now.

00:27:48.180 But it is an actual word.

00:27:49.660 Is it?

00:27:49.980 And what does it mean?

00:27:50.600 Likely to arouse or incur resentment or anger in others.

00:27:56.180 Exactly.

00:27:56.740 Okay.

00:27:57.180 That's what it means.

00:27:57.720 Well, it's good.

00:27:58.260 We learned something.

00:27:58.860 And he used it well.

00:27:59.800 Yeah, he used it well.

00:28:00.540 Like five times.

00:28:01.360 And when we were talking about Al Green, I was worried when the definition started with

00:28:05.180 likely to arouse.

00:28:06.600 But it did come around to an actual word.

00:28:08.740 So he's saying that just because he's black when he stood waving a cane at the president

00:28:16.020 during the speech.

00:28:17.560 And yelling and screaming during his speech.

00:28:19.820 Because that's not happened before.

00:28:22.780 The closest we could find is Joe Wilson saying, you lie.

00:28:27.420 And everybody thought.

00:28:28.100 And he did it once.

00:28:28.680 He did it once.

00:28:29.620 And that was it.

00:28:30.800 And then everybody apologized for it.

00:28:32.240 And he was censored the next day.

00:28:34.620 But he stood up with a cane.

00:28:36.340 Yeah.

00:28:36.820 Yeah.

00:28:37.080 Yeah.

00:28:37.420 And would not sit back down either.

00:28:39.280 Because he was black.

00:28:40.020 Yeah.

00:28:40.220 It's invidious discrimination.

00:28:41.540 Okay.

00:28:41.880 All right.

00:28:42.300 Good.

00:28:42.680 All right.

00:28:43.060 Yeah.

00:28:43.540 Now, Hank Johnson.

00:28:45.240 Yeah.

00:28:45.680 Okay.

00:28:45.920 He's brilliant.

00:28:46.640 And you might remember him from worrying about Guam tipping over and capsizing.

00:28:52.660 Yeah.

00:28:52.920 Yeah.

00:28:53.200 Capsizing.

00:28:53.700 So the guy is a thinker.

00:28:55.900 Only if we put all of the Marines on one side of the island, then it would capsize.

00:29:01.540 Right.

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.

00:29:08.080 Right.

00:29:08.200 10,000.

00:29:08.760 He said if there are 10,000 troops were put there, of course that's going to tip it over.

00:29:12.700 Of course.

00:29:12.780 Who hasn't?

00:29:13.780 They leave out the context of it.

00:29:15.260 I know.

00:29:15.500 They want to make it look stupid.

00:29:16.400 We want to be fair.

00:29:17.440 Right.

00:29:17.660 We want to be fair.

00:29:19.260 It's invidious.

00:29:20.160 That's what that is.

00:29:20.900 Invidious.

00:29:21.100 Yeah.

00:29:21.260 Let's go to cut 12.

00:29:23.180 Here is Hank Johnson.

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-

00:30:03.560 No, America's not great back then.

00:30:04.960 And the productivity that they are putting my Latino brothers and sisters who- 0.60

00:30:11.400 This is great.

00:30:12.100 Migrate here to do that work because we are not suited intellectually to do it anymore. 0.92

00:30:18.500 Wait, what?

00:30:18.980 But they would have us back confined to doing that kind of work.

00:30:23.540 That was invidious.

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-

00:30:38.580 Can we stop for just a second?

00:30:39.580 I just have a couple of questions here, Pat.

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. 0.64

00:30:55.760 Meaning we're above that work?

00:30:57.520 Above that, I guess.

00:30:58.720 But Hispanics are. 1.00

00:31:00.240 Yeah, but Hispanics are, they're not above doing that. 1.00

00:31:03.640 They're suited.

00:31:04.300 I guess they're intellectually suited for it.

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.

00:31:17.840 What the hell does that even mean?

00:31:20.620 Would that be racism, would you say?

00:31:22.220 I think it's invidious racism.

00:31:24.100 Invidious.

00:31:24.720 Invidious.

00:31:25.300 Oh, no.

00:31:25.740 Likely to arouse?

00:31:26.900 Yes.

00:31:27.280 Okay.

00:31:27.580 Okay.

00:31:28.660 Not really.

00:31:29.880 Sorry, I left the second part of that definition.

00:31:32.060 Yeah, right.

00:31:32.300 Okay.

00:31:32.600 Wow.

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.

00:32:07.040 That's what's putting people in chains.

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?

00:32:22.520 Right?

00:32:23.040 Yeah, President Trump's talked about that pretty extensively, that we're 40th among industrialized nations.

00:32:29.400 We spend by far the most amount of money.

00:32:32.780 We're number one.

00:32:33.120 We're number one in spending, and we're 40th in education.

00:32:38.200 So there's a problem there.

00:32:40.740 Yeah.

00:32:41.340 There's a big, big problem there.

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.

00:33:06.600 They don't see him as doing anything but good.

00:33:09.020 Right.

00:33:09.460 I truly believe, whether he knew it or not, what he did completely destroyed black families, black children, enslaved them.

00:33:20.360 And until we understand that.

00:33:22.660 If you look at the timeline, you see that proven out.

00:33:25.340 I know.

00:33:25.700 Over and over and over again.

00:33:26.760 Yeah.

00:33:27.080 In almost every way.

00:33:28.800 Yep.

00:33:29.740 Yep.

00:33:30.360 I mean, when are people, we have got to stop looking at the government as wanting to do good.

00:33:40.360 Maybe they did at some time.

00:33:42.500 I don't know.

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.

00:33:53.500 That's why you keep it under wraps.

00:33:54.980 But let's just say they wanted to do good.

00:33:57.920 Okay.

00:33:58.180 Everybody in the, in the government wants to do good, but they're not.

00:34:03.560 Okay.

00:34:04.200 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.

00:34:19.780 It's not working.

00:34:21.980 Everybody's so upset about, oh my gosh, we shut down USAID.

00:34:25.960 First of all, USAID is a CIA operation.

00:34:32.860 It is, it was designed to look like aid, but it's a CIA op.

00:34:39.980 That's what it is.

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

00:35:07.000 to help people.

00:35:07.980 The rest of it is all about control and manipulation of other people's countries. 0.74

00:35:14.440 And what's left is graft and just incompetence and loss.

00:35:20.600 Why would we do that?

00:35:23.360 Why are we focusing on that?

00:35:25.020 Maybe 20 cents instead of the 80 cents.

00:35:28.720 You know, if, if we were losing 20 cents on every dollar, I'd still be pissed, but we're

00:35:35.240 not.

00:35:35.760 We're getting 20 cents of what is, what we really think we're getting and 80 cents to

00:35:43.100 bad stuff.

00:35:44.820 Why, why, why, why, how do you defend that?

00:35:47.320 You can't, you can't, not if you're reasonable, not if you're a common sense American, you

00:35:53.060 can't.

00:35:53.420 Unless you say government always means to do well and gosh, we're just, but we're

00:35:58.400 trying.

00:35:59.320 Right.

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.

00:36:08.680 That's, that's, there is that.

00:36:10.360 You're right.

00:36:10.980 You're right.

00:36:11.200 There is that.

00:36:11.800 You're right.

00:36:12.240 You're right.

00:36:12.620 Stu, thank you very much.

00:36:14.000 I just want everybody in Guam to.

00:36:16.500 All right.

00:36:18.960 Thank you.

00:37:32.400 This is Glenn Beck.

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

00:38:09.200 in simply as union reps.

00:38:11.060 They don't check your bags.

00:38:12.060 They don't do anything else.

00:38:13.240 All they're doing is making sure that the union grows, becomes more powerful, and helps the

00:38:21.160 union.

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.

00:38:34.240 No, no, no.

00:38:36.140 You can't do that.

00:38:38.040 So I'm going to go into that here in just a minute.

00:38:40.420 Also, Trump's tariffs.

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?

00:38:50.560 I mean, Trump is crazy.

00:38:52.120 I'm like, no, no, he's not.

00:38:54.180 Well, I mean, okay, okay.

00:38:55.480 I know you don't think that, but I mean, come on, you got to see reason here.

00:38:58.960 Okay.

00:38:59.680 Make your case.

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.

00:39:21.800 It is, look, it's a scary time.

00:39:24.900 It's a scary time.

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

00:39:37.220 giving Trump the benefit of the doubt.

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?

00:39:54.160 And the answer is yes.

00:39:55.800 You may not like it.

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.

00:40:25.300 But right now, it's a shovel.

00:40:27.680 It's a tool.

00:40:28.520 It's the best tool man has ever been given.

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.

00:40:42.020 And you say, oh, you're no longer a shovel.

00:40:45.060 It looks like you're looking at me as the shovel.

00:40:47.760 No, thank you.

00:40:48.600 I'm not a tool of you.

00:40:49.820 You're a tool of mine.

00:40:51.640 But you have to be reasonable on things that are happening and understand that the entire

00:40:58.840 world is changing.

00:41:00.420 And Donald Trump is a big part of that.

00:41:03.700 And it's not just we've gone crazy.

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.

00:41:25.160 And he's trying to do it all at once.

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

00:41:42.420 in just a second, you sick, twisted freak. 0.95

00:41:47.320 This is Glenn Beck.

00:42:10.780 The hurricanes of 2024 are behind us.

00:42:13.500 Rubble is still happening everywhere.

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

00:42:27.440 suffered, and the media just moved on.

00:42:30.520 You should not.

00:42:32.000 You should be prepared for whatever the next disaster will be.

00:42:35.200 And for that, you'll want MyPatriot supply.

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.

00:44:11.600 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

00:44:17.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:23.840 All right, I want to talk to you about chaos.

00:44:26.820 The chaos that Donald Trump is causing all over the world.

00:44:30.220 Okay, is he? Is he?

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.

00:44:41.600 There are, there's chaos at ActBlue.

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.

00:45:02.040 It is toxic chaos.

00:45:07.400 Oh.

00:45:07.800 Now, Trump doesn't have anything to do with that, but maybe a little bit of corruption might.

00:45:13.760 We'll get into that.

00:45:15.180 And so much more this hour.

00:45:16.460 Stand by first.

00:45:17.280 Let me tell you about relief factor sleep.

00:45:19.200 Sleep gets a bad rap sometimes.

00:45:21.200 Don't sleep on the job.

00:45:22.760 Don't sleep at the wheel.

00:45:23.820 I used to be president until I was sleeping all the time.

00:45:28.160 Anyway, sleep isn't a weakness.

00:45:30.660 It is a superpower.

00:45:31.800 It makes you healthier.

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.

00:45:41.900 That's why you should try Z-Factor.

00:46:12.880 Go to relieffactor.com.

00:46:14.500 That's relieffactor.com.

00:46:15.880 1-800-4-RELIEF.

00:46:17.080 1-800, the number four.

00:46:19.120 RELIEF.

00:46:21.480 Several top officials, including the highest-ranking legal officer at ActBlue,

00:46:26.500 have reportedly jumped ship in recent weeks,

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

00:46:57.760 with an update regarding ActBlue's security,

00:47:00.780 their fraud prevention measures, and related procedures.

00:47:06.500 ActBlue, we have known, is, I believe,

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,

00:47:24.640 but I wouldn't be surprised.

00:47:26.200 Why are all these people leaving?

00:47:28.380 Because they know this game is over.

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?

00:47:58.380 Why wouldn't you want it?

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?

00:48:12.640 Why wouldn't you like that?

00:48:14.300 You wouldn't like that because that's not what the people voted for.

00:48:18.820 The people voted for the president,

00:48:21.100 not for these unelected bureaucrats that are faceless, nameless, 0.99

00:48:26.200 and have complete control, apparently, over your country and your life.

00:48:31.300 No, you wouldn't like it.

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.

00:48:39.900 You've got to watch the entire thing.

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.

00:48:49.920 That's not the beginning.

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

00:49:06.660 and said, stop it.

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.

00:49:22.600 Not so much Mexico, but definitely Canada.

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,

00:49:39.340 which I'm not convinced we're not.

00:49:41.700 But Canada is one of these countries.

00:49:44.060 Come on, it's Canada.

00:49:46.460 It's Canada.

00:49:46.980 We've always liked Canada.

00:49:48.220 Canada's always liked us.

00:49:49.820 Okay.

00:49:51.740 There is a $1.2 trillion online with our trade relationship.

00:49:57.640 Okay.

00:49:58.760 And everybody's saying, oh my gosh, this will have a ripple effect.

00:50:02.060 It's going to just cost everybody.

00:50:03.700 And you know what?

00:50:04.420 It might.

00:50:05.200 It might.

00:50:05.800 I don't know.

00:50:06.620 It might.

00:50:08.220 On the surface, it is really tempting to see what everything that Donald Trump is doing as chaos.

00:50:15.300 He's just swinging everybody.

00:50:17.380 And he's hitting our friends.

00:50:19.000 And he's hitting our supposed friends.

00:50:23.060 And he's just taking out everybody.

00:50:25.040 But that's not really what's going on.

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.

00:50:33.420 What are they?

00:50:33.960 We're pissing off Canada.

00:50:35.400 I know.

00:50:35.780 I don't like it either.

00:50:36.920 I don't like it.

00:50:37.920 But it's not chaos.

00:50:39.500 It is a strategy.

00:50:40.940 And you are dealing with the best negotiator America has ever had in office.

00:50:49.400 Ever.

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.

00:50:59.860 Okay.

00:51:00.540 But the majority of people did.

00:51:03.420 Okay.

00:51:04.380 Electoral college and the popular vote.

00:51:07.780 And the county swung by 20 points to the red.

00:51:13.420 So this is a mandate.

00:51:15.880 It is a movement.

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.

00:51:33.620 I got your back.

00:51:34.660 And then they go in and they don't have your back.

00:51:36.660 That's not what happened this time.

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.

00:51:48.820 Okay.

00:51:49.760 That's not what happened this time around.

00:51:52.340 When you vote for somebody who's not the other guy.

00:51:55.400 Well, what is it you're getting?

00:51:57.140 In that case, you got, I'm going to make your boy a girl. 1.00

00:52:00.480 Nobody was for that.

00:52:01.720 Nobody voted for that.

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.

00:52:16.820 Most people didn't vote for that.

00:52:19.040 They did vote for changing the direction of America.

00:52:23.340 They were tired of corruption.

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. 0.77

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.

00:52:42.560 I don't like tariffs.

00:52:44.040 I do like reciprocal tariffs.

00:52:46.820 You put a tax on our milk.

00:52:49.040 We'll put a tax on your milk.

00:52:50.720 You don't want a tax on your milk.

00:52:52.420 Then don't put a tax in.

00:52:53.720 And we won't tax you either.

00:52:55.160 I like that.

00:52:57.020 But that's.

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. 0.96

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.

00:53:21.140 I think it was at a breakfast or something.

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.

00:53:32.060 That's so scary.

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.

00:53:41.240 We cannot do now.

00:53:43.000 Listen to this.

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.

00:53:51.860 In fact, it might be hurting us.

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.

00:54:12.580 None of that works.

00:54:14.640 None of that works.

00:54:15.900 And that's what Donald Trump was, was saying.

00:54:18.640 And that's what people voted for a change.

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.

00:54:31.560 You were like, wait, what are we doing there?

00:54:33.020 Why, why is it?

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.

00:54:40.400 What are we doing?

00:54:42.000 That's why they wanted change, transparency.

00:54:45.660 They wanted change.

00:54:47.360 But he never defined the change.

00:54:51.340 Donald Trump was very clear.

00:54:54.840 Anybody who didn't know that massive tariffs were coming, they just weren't paying attention.

00:54:59.100 Okay.

00:55:01.820 When Reagan did it, it wasn't a slip of the tongue.

00:55:04.380 It was deliberate.

00:55:06.040 It was a public shot across the bow.

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.

00:55:21.540 He's going to get us nuked by Friday.

00:55:24.520 All the squirrels will be dead.

00:55:26.180 What are squirrels going to be?

00:55:27.380 What?

00:55:29.100 Reagan wasn't playing for the applause. 0.89

00:55:33.220 He was playing to win.

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.

00:55:46.880 They couldn't do it.

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.

00:56:05.360 That was 1983, evil empire.

00:56:07.720 By 1989, the Berlin Wall was rubble, all because Reagan had the balls to say it and then not blink.

00:56:20.640 Now, we could have been vaporized, yes.

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.

00:56:35.220 Risk big, win big.

00:56:37.560 Risk big, lose big.

00:56:39.360 Just know the odds before you put your money down on the table.

00:56:43.180 That's why I don't like Vegas.

00:56:44.860 I know the odds are not in my favor.

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.

00:57:02.320 And so, the odds, he knew, were in our favor.

00:57:06.760 The same thing with Donald Trump.

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.

00:57:34.800 We can't fire all these people.

00:57:36.700 It's causing all kinds of chaos.

00:57:38.220 Wait, are you okay?

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?

00:57:51.320 We have six million plus employees.

00:57:55.300 For what?

00:57:56.920 For what?

00:57:57.800 When you see how corrupt it is, why?

00:58:01.280 Can't we return some of that power?

00:58:03.340 Well, you can't cut the Department of Education.

00:58:05.320 Why not?

00:58:05.760 He pledged he was going to.

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...

00:58:15.740 Why?

00:58:16.140 It doesn't work.

00:58:17.660 Show me the evidence that it works.

00:58:19.940 Well, you're going to just leave all of the poor children out to educationally starve.

00:58:25.060 They're starving to death right now.

00:58:28.600 They can't read.

00:58:30.180 When you don't teach children to read, they become slaves to whomever can read.

00:58:38.300 How is that compassion?

00:58:41.480 How is that good?

00:58:43.220 How is that something you want to preserve?

00:58:45.360 It all comes down to one thing.

00:58:50.300 And this is what you're actually fighting.

00:58:54.380 And I'll explain it to you in 60 seconds.

00:58:57.240 Deep in the quiet of a mother's womb, if you listen carefully, there is a voice.

00:59:01.660 What made me feel?

00:59:03.700 Not that voice.

00:59:04.340 But it's a heartbeat.

00:59:07.960 It's saying, there's life in here.

00:59:11.180 I'm made in the image of God, just like you.

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.

00:59:21.860 Some people don't want to hear it.

00:59:22.700 It's inconvenient.

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.

00:59:55.300 The organization is pre-born.

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. 0.98

01:00:04.460 However, the other big obstacle is, I can't.

01:00:08.480 I don't have any support.

01:00:10.320 Will you do with a pre-born clinic?

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.

01:00:36.960 Station ID.

01:00:42.160 So, let's just look at Canada and the tariffs here for a second.

01:00:50.980 270% tariffs on our dairy imports.

01:00:55.420 $40 billion for, you know, in good surplus.

01:00:59.960 That's not a quirk.

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.

01:01:10.800 They are economic competitors.

01:01:15.420 That doesn't mean they're enemies.

01:01:17.200 The same thing with Canada.

01:01:18.960 And when you're the rich person, believe me, look at how people look at rich people.

01:01:22.920 They haven't paid their fair share in taxes.

01:01:25.500 That's the way they view us.

01:01:28.820 Okay?

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

01:01:45.620 pay more.

01:01:46.720 No!

01:01:47.940 Can somebody defend us as well?

01:01:50.380 That's what Donald Trump is.

01:01:52.260 Here's what this boils down to.

01:01:54.000 It boils down to your friends are not paying attention because they've already made their

01:02:02.280 mind up about Donald Trump.

01:02:05.200 They don't know who he is.

01:02:07.960 Okay?

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.

01:02:19.060 You're like, okay, this isn't good.

01:02:21.260 What happened?

01:02:22.060 What happened?

01:02:24.760 We won.

01:02:26.740 And he got American citizens that were being held hostage out of there.

01:02:32.480 All of a sudden, he's friends with him.

01:02:34.480 No, he was just calling him, you know, Rocket Man just like 10 minutes ago.

01:02:40.040 This is what he does.

01:02:42.220 This is how he negotiates.

01:02:44.600 It's his playbook is provoke, pressure, prevail.

01:02:51.020 Well, that's what it is.

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?

01:03:08.860 I'm a horrible negotiator.

01:03:10.100 I go in to buy a car.

01:03:11.060 I don't even, I don't even go.

01:03:12.520 I send a friend in because I'm like, I can't negotiate.

01:03:15.600 I always feel bad.

01:03:16.320 I'm like, I don't know.

01:03:17.040 I don't want to screw you.

01:03:18.740 Horrible.

01:03:19.440 Horrible.

01:03:19.800 So I have a good friend who goes in, Robert, my brother, he goes in and he negotiates and

01:03:24.420 he loves it.

01:03:26.460 Okay.

01:03:26.620 Cause that's the game they play all day and they know you don't like it.

01:03:30.900 And so you're like, I don't know.

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

01:03:48.200 and doesn't blink.

01:03:50.880 That's how you get a good deal.

01:03:52.940 That's what Donald Trump is.

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

01:03:59.960 mean that he's, I don't know.

01:04:01.840 Maybe he's had a really bad day, but I, Mr. Car Salesman, I appreciate your family.

01:04:07.200 I don't want your family to starve.

01:04:08.620 They're not going to starve.

01:04:09.760 This is the game they play.

01:04:12.880 And nobody likes to play that game.

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

01:04:37.060 this guy who's negotiating on your behalf?

01:04:39.540 He's a monster.

01:04:41.960 And what happens?

01:04:43.500 The family starts to squirm and they blink.

01:04:47.940 Don't blink.

01:04:49.560 You may not like the style, but this is what we voted for.

01:04:54.500 Complete change.

01:04:55.480 This is Glenn Beck.

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

01:05:18.660 else.

01:05:18.860 It'll be a note in the ledger of your financial life that is printed in bolded capital letters.

01:05:25.040 High interest debt can be bent to your will.

01:05:29.780 You can move beyond it to a life that's freer, happier, and more fiscally responsible for the

01:05:35.280 future.

01:05:36.280 American financing sees this kind of thing every day because American financing makes it happen

01:05:41.700 every single day.

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.

01:05:47.760 I couldn't afford food.

01:05:50.000 So I had to put it on my credit card.

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

01:06:06.560 debt.

01:06:07.020 American financing could be saving you hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as a

01:06:11.280 thousand American financing, 800-906-2440 American financing.net 800-906-2440.

01:06:43.160 or mercuryone.org.

01:06:44.520 We are on it.

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

01:06:56.660 right now.

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

01:07:12.100 Fund.

01:07:12.520 Specifically, Nazarene Fund is the one that is doing a lot of the real heavy lifting on

01:07:17.100 this one.

01:07:17.940 There's a couple of other things.

01:07:19.120 Our family seminar is happening April 25th, 26th here in Irving at our studios and Mercury

01:07:28.460 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

01:07:54.380 Barton and Tim Barton, his son, and I are teaching it and letting the artifacts and the

01:08:00.060 documents speak for themselves.

01:08:01.540 It's great.

01:08:02.560 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.

01:08:31.820 And then we have also a teacher's conference.

01:08:33.920 If you are a teacher trying to actually teach American history, you get access to the original

01:08:41.700 documents.

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.

01:08:47.000 But it's going to be a very busy summer.

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

01:09:01.140 do here.

01:09:01.800 Yeah.

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.

01:09:17.560 Right.

01:09:17.740 Losing their mind either positively or negatively on every little step of his negotiations.

01:09:24.820 Right.

01:09:25.220 Like every time he says something, there's 15 New York Times pieces about how crazy it is

01:09:29.500 and what it's going to do.

01:09:31.000 And then when he winds up being a negotiation a few weeks later, like there's not, yeah,

01:09:35.900 there's just like, oh gosh, you know.

01:09:37.680 Reagan never got the credit.

01:09:39.520 Right.

01:09:39.920 And that's okay.

01:09:41.080 Right.

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

01:09:53.700 negotiation is the bigger part of that.

01:09:55.440 Here's the thing.

01:09:56.160 People look at him and think he's a big bully.

01:09:59.280 He's not.

01:10:00.660 He's a tremendous negotiator.

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

01:10:27.440 he didn't win.

01:10:28.560 They're not the 50.

01:10:29.900 Canada is like, see, we beat him.

01:10:31.700 We're not the 51st state.

01:10:33.440 He's not a bully.

01:10:34.660 He is he's really, really smart.

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.

01:10:57.660 We did it with the red line in Syria. 0.96

01:11:00.160 Right.

01:11:00.740 We did it with Obama.

01:11:02.800 We do that all the time.

01:11:04.000 And people say, well, you have a double standard with Trump.

01:11:06.300 My answer to that is, yeah, I kind of do.

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.

01:11:14.260 I think Donald Trump's relatively unique.

01:11:15.720 He does things in a different way.

01:11:17.220 Yes.

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.

01:11:32.260 Yeah.

01:11:32.480 And that's what the media does all the time.

01:11:34.120 So I refuse to do that.

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.

01:11:44.680 But I don't have to judge the results.

01:11:46.580 You can't just judge nothing and say this is his strategy and therefore it's fine.

01:11:51.020 Stu, let me give you an example.

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.

01:12:04.520 People are like, we want to change.

01:12:06.260 We got to change.

01:12:06.960 We're going to change shows.

01:12:07.920 We're going to change it up.

01:12:08.800 We want to hire you.

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.

01:12:16.060 And you're like, no, that didn't work.

01:12:17.920 Right.

01:12:18.220 You know, and then, all right, we'll give you six more weeks.

01:12:21.100 And you're like six.

01:12:21.860 It takes two years to turn things in radio.

01:12:25.100 OK, that is exactly what we have to do now.

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?

01:12:39.060 No, you you just hired him to do a job.

01:12:42.820 Let him do the job.

01:12:45.140 Stop trying to micromanage.

01:12:47.040 You hired somebody very, very unique.

01:12:49.900 Yeah, I know.

01:12:50.460 Very unique.

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.

01:12:59.460 Those guys weren't unique.

01:13:01.160 Reagan was to some degree.

01:13:02.940 But everybody else was playing the same game.

01:13:07.300 He Donald Trump.

01:13:08.680 We have asked.

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.

01:13:18.540 OK, the EU was set up to compete against us.

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.

01:13:34.500 We're even wearing wigs still.

01:13:36.380 I just feel bad for what the Europeans and that we're letting the Europeans walk all over us. 1.00

01:13:42.740 No, it's not 1945.

01:13:43.940 It's not even 1955, 65, 75, 85, 95, 05, 15.

01:13:50.320 It's about to slip out of 25.

01:13:53.760 Let's let's reevaluate things and do things differently.

01:13:57.120 And that's what he's doing.

01:13:58.280 Yeah, I think that's that is absolutely true.

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.

01:14:14.880 Correct.

01:14:15.380 Right.

01:14:15.700 And he has to shake them out of that.

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.

01:14:23.800 So he did say I mean, you saw he said it.

01:14:26.620 He was like, oh, you know, Zelensky is a dictator.

01:14:28.780 He's a dictator.

01:14:29.280 He's the worst guy in the world.

01:14:30.280 And then when someone asked him about it, he said, I don't think I said that.

01:14:33.160 And he smiled.

01:14:34.160 Right.

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. 1.00

01:14:44.800 We got him at the table.

01:14:45.780 You don't come to the table.

01:14:46.640 I got to give you.

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.

01:15:04.800 As you know, favorite word is 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.

01:15:17.420 And so no one has any.

01:15:18.320 Let's do that right now.

01:15:19.200 Anyone into that?

01:15:19.920 Who's into that?

01:15:21.120 Now, we he really does think tariffs are a good policy.

01:15:24.700 I am.

01:15:25.160 I don't agree with him on that.

01:15:27.240 However, I think he probably would come around to a situation where everyone had zero tariffs.

01:15:33.480 Yes.

01:15:33.700 If they would.

01:15:34.760 Yes.

01:15:35.020 But he was also challenging them to, oh, you guys are so serious about not liking tariffs.

01:15:40.060 Let's go to zero right now.

01:15:41.820 Right.

01:15:42.300 Knowing they wouldn't do it.

01:15:43.940 Correct.

01:15:44.340 Now, you can go crazy and drive yourself insane and say, well, Donald Trump promised zero tariffs.

01:15:50.980 And now he's coming with all these.

01:15:52.660 Or you can go the other way and say he's wants 58 percent tariffs on every country.

01:15:57.260 And now he's backed off of them.

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.

01:16:12.240 It's impossible to understand.

01:16:13.960 Or you could step back and look at the results of his policies.

01:16:18.960 What policy did he enact?

01:16:20.360 And did it work?

01:16:21.380 North Korea is a good example of that, too. 0.59

01:16:22.800 Glenn, you brought that one up.

01:16:24.100 He was calling him Little Rocket Man.

01:16:25.600 Then he was saying he was his best friend.

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.

01:16:45.240 It was an anti-inflammatory drug.

01:16:48.080 Yes.

01:16:48.920 Things are calm.

01:16:49.920 They're not perfect.

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.

01:16:56.660 North Korea is not a good place.

01:16:58.140 Kim Jong-un is not a good guy.

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.

01:17:06.880 And I think that part worked.

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.

01:17:23.680 Correct.

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.

01:17:32.060 Do you really think he doesn't know?

01:17:34.080 Of course he knows.

01:17:34.960 He's going to pay a huge price if they don't work.

01:17:37.280 Right.

01:17:37.940 I mean.

01:17:38.420 That's what you judge him on.

01:17:39.700 Correct.

01:17:40.060 Right.

01:17:40.280 He wants to be judged on that, I think, long term.

01:17:43.560 Here's a really good way to look at this.

01:17:46.940 So, what was it?

01:17:48.320 Last week and the week before, everybody's like, he loves Russia.

01:17:52.120 Just loves them.

01:17:53.660 He hates the Ukrainian people.

01:17:55.640 Wants them all to die.

01:17:57.240 Speak Russian.

01:17:58.240 I think most of them do anyway.

01:18:01.460 So, that's all they were saying.

01:18:03.060 Now, a senior White House official came out the last couple of days.

01:18:08.300 Trump's rage.

01:18:09.600 Trump's rage has been intensifying.

01:18:13.120 Uh-oh.

01:18:14.300 Okay.

01:18:15.900 Why?

01:18:17.340 Why?

01:18:19.340 Intensifying due to Russia's behavior and its escalation on strikes on Ukraine.

01:18:27.440 Wait a minute.

01:18:28.500 I thought he loved.

01:18:30.280 So, he said, quote,

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.

01:18:53.240 I thought he was all for Putin.

01:18:55.460 He's weird.

01:18:57.020 Negotiating.

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.

01:19:06.920 Right.

01:19:07.140 And wants that war to end.

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.

01:19:15.760 Reduce the size of government.

01:19:18.360 Reduce the deficit.

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.

01:19:28.880 It's not working.

01:19:30.040 It's not good.

01:19:31.820 So, why would we keep all of this?

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.

01:19:43.740 And everybody's whining.

01:19:45.180 Oh, you know, that was a good part.

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.

01:19:53.020 You are doing radical surgery right now.

01:19:56.120 Radical.

01:19:57.520 And we're not going to all love it.

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.

01:20:09.500 Do you want to live or not?

01:20:11.940 Do you want the patient to live and go on and fight another day, stronger and better, or not?

01:20:18.280 That's the question you have to ask.

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.

01:20:31.480 Lonely battle sometimes.

01:20:32.900 But you know who's there fighting right along with you in many cases?

01:20:36.800 Patriot Mobile.

01:20:38.300 A cell phone service.

01:21:50.700 We are so glad you're here.

01:21:52.140 I don't know if anybody, I'd love to hear from you today, 888-727-BECK.

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.

01:22:45.160 Have you used it?

01:22:46.080 Sarah, did you use it this weekend?

01:22:48.880 You just have to play with it.

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.

01:23:00.000 Do not allow it to become a personal friend.

01:23:06.840 That's your first barrier.

01:23:09.460 Don't do that.

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.

01:23:44.380 This is Glenn Beck.

01:23:51.000 This is Glenn Beck.

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.

01:24:35.400 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:24:39.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:46.340 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:47.920 We're glad that you're here.

01:24:50.240 Thank you so much for listening.

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.

01:25:36.460 No thank you.

01:25:37.260 We've got an ethics team here at Google.

01:25:40.800 Uh, you're evil.

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.

01:25:52.780 And so, I want to hear from you.

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.

01:26:08.700 We'll talk about that coming up.

01:26:10.260 First, spring is stirring, and with it, by the way, daylight savings time.

01:26:17.680 What a piece of crap.

01:26:19.260 Here's my suggestion.

01:26:21.100 We're not going to drop it.

01:26:21.880 Here's my suggestion.

01:26:23.660 When we fall back, we do that on a Saturday, but we fall back 23 hours.

01:26:35.540 Okay?

01:26:35.840 So, we get an extra Saturday out of the deal.

01:26:38.300 When we spring ahead, we spring ahead 25 hours, but we do that.

01:26:45.980 Now we're skipping whole days.

01:26:47.200 Yeah, we do that on a Monday.

01:26:49.100 So, we skip Monday, and we're riding on Tuesday.

01:26:51.920 Come on.

01:26:53.540 Who's with me on that?

01:26:55.360 Anyway, uh, spring is, uh, is stirring, and the real estate market is starting to stir again.

01:27:00.280 Buyers are starting to wake up.

01:27:01.500 Sellers are testing the waters, see if the buyers are willing, you know, what are they willing to pay?

01:27:04.960 I've seen it dozens of times, and so have you.

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.

01:27:52.460 realestateagentsitrust.com

01:27:53.500 Go there now, find the right real estate agent for you.

01:27:57.660 realestateagentsitrust.com

01:27:58.980 All right.

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.

01:29:25.620 It says page 437, paragraph 14 says this.

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.

01:29:45.920 You no longer have to do the grunt work.

01:29:48.500 It allows you to be a thinker.

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.

01:30:37.480 You can put things together that it won't.

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.

01:32:03.040 And so it's the battle of the bots.

01:32:04.780 That's totally happening right now.

01:32:06.000 Totally.

01:32:06.420 I don't know.

01:32:07.120 I don't know.

01:32:07.740 I don't have any evidence of anybody doing it, but I can guarantee you that's happening. 1.00

01:32:11.920 We're still it's automated.

01:32:12.800 We're still at the point to where you can kind of maybe detect it.

01:32:18.680 I don't know how long that's going to last.

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.

01:32:41.700 A bunch of AI bots talking to each other.

01:32:43.500 What value do I get out of that?

01:32:44.960 I have access to it.

01:32:45.740 I can just ask AI if I want that.

01:32:47.740 Exactly right.

01:32:48.860 And that's I don't know where that ends.

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.

01:33:23.720 Yeah.

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.

01:33:56.700 That's what I'm excited about.

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.

01:34:21.180 And we haven't had time.

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.

01:34:36.480 It will find it.

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.

01:34:48.260 Don't make it your friend.

01:34:49.580 Don't make it your sex partner.

01:34:52.040 Don't do that.

01:34:53.180 Don't ever, ever blur the lines.

01:34:55.420 It is a tool.

01:34:56.980 Charles, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:34:59.740 Yeah.

01:35:00.540 How are you doing, Glenn?

01:35:01.420 Good.

01:35:01.620 How are you?

01:35:03.220 I'm doing quite well.

01:35:04.520 God bless you all.

01:35:05.520 And I just wanted to say I thank you for connecting me with labor of love and Susan Selim.

01:35:11.120 And that was many years ago.

01:35:13.300 It really created my spiritual growth.

01:35:17.500 So that's so great.

01:35:18.420 And I eternally thank you for that.

01:35:20.880 Anyway, on the case of AI, played with it a lot over the weekend on Grok.

01:35:26.060 And you're right for the research elements.

01:35:28.180 It's fantastic.

01:35:29.380 Yes.

01:35:29.600 I had some charts made up for balance scorecard.

01:35:34.200 I wrote a book on that several years ago.

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.

01:35:44.780 Fantastic.

01:35:45.260 Doing the deep dive on research.

01:35:47.120 Really good.

01:35:48.080 Yeah.

01:35:48.500 But I've had a book idea, you know, more of a novel.

01:35:52.240 And I always struggle with dialogue.

01:35:54.320 So I said, hey, let's see if it'll create the book that I had.

01:35:57.540 So I input the parameters.

01:35:59.560 And initially, it was fantastic.

01:36:02.220 It's a historical fiction.

01:36:04.840 And it incorporated the historical elements I was going for and created the dialogue and

01:36:11.720 the emotional pull.

01:36:12.900 You could update it and ask it to enhance the emotion or expand on the chapter that I was

01:36:18.980 working on.

01:36:19.620 But at some point, it just seems to get overwhelmed by, yeah, it falls apart and it just goes off

01:36:28.040 the rails.

01:36:28.860 Yeah.

01:36:29.260 And I've had to restart it like three times.

01:36:31.680 Yeah.

01:36:32.420 Yeah.

01:36:32.980 Charles, good observation.

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

01:36:49.620 least have access to all of it.

01:36:51.180 And so it just generalizes everything.

01:36:54.260 And so it can't write a book.

01:36:56.840 It, it, it can't, it can't write.

01:36:59.900 It, it just can't write.

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.

01:37:11.860 It can't do it.

01:37:13.940 It can't continue a storyline.

01:37:16.280 It all falls apart on you maybe someday.

01:37:20.580 Um, but I still believe that people are going to be instrumental because it takes the, the

01:37:26.240 germ of an idea.

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

01:37:31.220 for me.

01:37:31.740 You're crazy.

01:37:32.960 And that's kind of evil.

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?

01:37:46.760 Oh gosh.

01:37:47.520 At least three times the amount of words that they're supposed to be.

01:37:50.260 Right.

01:37:50.560 Okay.

01:37:50.900 I just, I'm verbose when it comes to writing.

01:37:54.360 Uh, and the biggest job is, can you edit this down?

01:37:59.160 Yes.

01:37:59.480 Okay.

01:38:00.300 That it can do that.

01:38:02.060 It can do.

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

01:38:09.480 write a book for you.

01:38:10.520 It's not going to, and nor would you, hopefully no, nor would you want to.

01:38:13.900 Well, it would be bad.

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

01:38:30.920 people.

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

01:38:41.880 same.

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

01:39:05.100 to ASI.

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

01:39:23.160 it.

01:39:23.620 I think they will, but we won't, you know what I mean?

01:39:26.560 Which bothers me a great deal.

01:39:28.520 Yeah.

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.

01:39:43.720 This should tell you something about your job.

01:39:47.140 Microsoft X and Google.

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?

01:40:05.640 Ask Jeeves.

01:40:06.720 In comparison, it's like, ask Jeeves.

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

01:40:36.580 useful human brain on the staff?

01:40:41.080 Back in just a second.

01:40:42.620 Things just aren't the way they used to be.

01:40:45.160 In the old days, you had pirates sailing vast armored ships across the seven seas,

01:40:49.040 killing and plundering along the way.

01:40:50.440 Sure, that was great.

01:40:51.340 Then you had the Somali pirates riding around on speedboats with machine guns until Tom Hanks

01:40:57.160 got all of them.

01:40:58.340 And now, what kind of arm-to-the-teeth swashbuckling buccaneer do you have?

01:41:04.840 You have porch pirates on scooters.

01:41:07.760 It's sad.

01:41:08.360 It really is.

01:42:08.640 Hey, how are you doing today?

01:42:09.680 I'm great.

01:42:10.200 So, I took your advice, even like everybody else, I suppose, you know, like afraid of

01:42:16.240 the AI, and when is Skynet going to take over?

01:42:19.560 Don't lose that fear.

01:42:20.820 That's healthy.

01:42:21.580 Just don't let it stop you.

01:42:23.960 So, Friday, my wife and I both were like, you know what?

01:42:27.620 I'm going to give it a shot.

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

01:42:34.260 for, you know, like a periodical or whatever.

01:42:36.900 Yeah.

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.

01:42:46.840 Yeah.

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

01:42:54.940 machines that aren't even out there.

01:42:56.220 And I was like, I spent all this time.

01:42:58.440 Okay.

01:42:58.780 So, Brett, here's the thing.

01:43:00.000 Here's the thing.

01:43:00.600 It'll do that.

01:43:01.720 You have to say that you need proof and evidence of those things.

01:43:09.460 You just ask it.

01:43:10.680 No, no.

01:43:11.520 I want the most solid reference to the show me your research.

01:43:16.220 Show me your reference.

01:43:17.420 And then it stops all of that hallucination because until you tell it, no, no, no, I'm

01:43:23.960 looking at your research.

01:43:25.240 I need to know the reference.

01:43:27.260 And then you go and find it.

01:43:29.100 And if it hallucinated that reference, then you know, dude, no hallucination.

01:43:34.720 I need it in writing the reference.

01:43:38.500 And so it changes.

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.

01:43:48.060 And it's, it's best.

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

01:43:55.040 an ad or whatever, build a business plan.

01:43:57.240 Tell me what my customers, why they would be more likely to buy this product from my

01:44:04.420 competitor.

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.

01:44:13.440 What can I do to entice people ethically?

01:44:16.880 Make sure you say that ethically to buy from me instead of my competition and just see what

01:44:23.600 it says.

01:44:24.040 But you have a lot of playing.

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.

01:44:35.080 So it knows exactly what you're looking for.

01:44:37.880 And this takes a while.

01:44:39.680 Then you can start using it in deeper ways.

01:44:43.120 Um, but always go for deep, you know, think or deep research.

01:44:48.740 Forget about all the buttons up.

01:44:50.680 Think or deep research.

01:44:53.000 Use those two and then watch it.

01:44:55.880 Think it says, click here and watch me think.

01:44:58.680 And it shows all the questions that it's asking.

01:45:01.460 Well, I should ask this.

01:45:02.440 I should ask this.

01:45:03.200 I should ask this and just that helps you learn how to think.

01:45:07.620 It's an amazing thing.

01:45:08.740 All right.

01:45:09.360 Back in just a second.

01:45:17.180 This is Glenn Beck.

01:45:20.640 You know, in my day, you could spend a dollar and buy a whole meal.

01:45:25.280 Actually, it could at McDonald's.

01:45:27.520 Remember that dollar meals?

01:45:29.640 What can you get for a dollar now?

01:45:32.040 Candy bar?

01:45:32.640 Maybe if you're lucky.

01:45:34.420 Inflation is a huge problem in this country.

01:45:36.860 And it remains to be seen whether it's going to go down anytime soon or go up.

01:45:40.900 We don't know.

01:45:41.940 The debt we face as a nation is staggering.

01:45:45.340 Thirty six trillion dollars and counting fast.

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.

01:46:11.540 Maybe your retirement, your wealth.

01:46:43.180 You know, there was a story that came out on Friday that I think if you missed it, most

01:47:01.000 people did.

01:47:01.820 You're going to love it.

01:47:02.680 It's a story about TSA and what Trump is doing to TSA.

01:47:06.640 And I want to squeeze it in.

01:47:08.460 I just don't think I'm going to have enough time to do it justice.

01:47:10.400 So I'm going to bring it back tomorrow.

01:47:12.960 It's perspective that you really need to hear.

01:47:15.460 Can I ask you a question about Doge?

01:47:18.440 Yeah, because I'm pretty Doge friendly.

01:47:21.160 Like I like it.

01:47:21.960 I like the idea.

01:47:23.360 I was talking to a couple of people who were being somewhat, I would say, mildly critical

01:47:27.720 of it.

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.

01:47:39.340 That's what we're doing.

01:47:40.400 He's like, but they've fired so many people at these agencies that like just soak that

01:47:46.420 in for me.

01:47:47.160 Go ahead.

01:47:47.800 We can't get anybody who knows what they're doing on the phone to actually accomplish these

01:47:53.140 goals.

01:47:53.660 Welcome to the taxpayer that calls the IRS.

01:47:56.420 Exactly.

01:47:57.500 And I but I is there do you make anything of that criticism?

01:48:01.880 Yeah, I think.

01:48:02.780 Have you ever worked for a company and do you have that was so bloated that it couldn't

01:48:10.820 get out of its own way?

01:48:12.280 OK, and then it makes dramatic cuts and everybody's like, this is going to kill us.

01:48:18.620 We don't we can't know.

01:48:19.660 I don't know who to even go to.

01:48:21.260 There's not enough.

01:48:22.420 Right.

01:48:22.700 I know that that's the transition period.

01:48:25.300 OK, so we're in this transition period.

01:48:27.860 We'll be here for a while.

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,

01:48:38.620 the government just trying to save it.

01:48:41.240 So we got to cut it back.

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

01:48:55.860 bloated.

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.

01:49:18.940 I mean, example, my company.

01:49:22.740 I mean, it happens to lots of companies, right?

01:49:24.540 It does.

01:49:24.800 But I mean, you know, I'll pull myself up and say, you know, my company, we were so

01:49:30.660 top heavy for a while and it wasn't working.

01:49:34.080 And I finally had to just come in and go, you know what?

01:49:35.840 I just got to clear out everybody.

01:49:37.940 Yeah.

01:49:38.140 I mean, and it was scary for everybody.

01:49:39.880 And most people were like, Glenn's going to kill the company.

01:49:42.660 And it ended up saving the company.

01:49:44.920 Yeah.

01:49:45.280 You've killed it in another way.

01:49:46.460 Yeah.

01:49:46.600 Many times.

01:49:47.340 So many times.

01:49:48.480 I mean, I'm a killer of companies.

01:49:49.560 Maybe even a more generalized example is what Musk did at Twitter, right?

01:49:56.420 Yes.

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

01:50:00.280 today.

01:50:00.920 But that's a bad example.

01:50:02.900 Right.

01:50:03.020 But like it, everyone was like, oh, it's going to be off.

01:50:06.420 And then it worked totally fine.

01:50:07.880 Yes.

01:50:08.040 Right.

01:50:08.240 Right.

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.

01:50:49.380 I'm in control of them.

01:50:51.040 Correct.

01:50:51.280 I should be the one making these decisions.

01:50:53.920 And I happen to agree with that.

01:50:55.520 It's a pretty healthy debate.

01:50:57.580 Yeah, I agree with that.

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.

01:51:06.620 Correct.

01:51:06.860 So I can understand why you need a Musk.

01:51:08.540 On the other hand, if you think Kash Patel is the best guy to run the FBI, maybe he should

01:51:12.660 be the one making those cuts.

01:51:14.200 But that's where you have the president come in.

01:51:15.500 Yep.

01:51:16.020 You know, each makes their case.

01:51:17.160 And that's what he did.

01:51:17.480 And if you can't make a decision, bring it to me.

01:51:20.080 And I'll make the decision.

01:51:21.460 That's the president's job.

01:51:22.640 Buck stops here.

01:51:24.280 And according to the reporting, he basically said the agency person gets to make those

01:51:28.420 decisions.

01:51:28.880 Let me go to Lisa, North Carolina.

01:51:31.360 Hello, Lisa.

01:51:31.880 Hello, Glenn.

01:51:34.440 Let me take y'all the speaker.

01:51:35.540 Sorry.

01:51:35.860 Okay, thank you.

01:51:36.180 I'm going to do my best as an XX individual to make this short and sweet. 0.88

01:51:40.440 All right.

01:51:40.660 If you only knew me, it's really hard.

01:51:43.480 First of all, I'll get to the doge.

01:51:48.060 As an artiste myself, you're a great artist.

01:51:52.340 I like you.

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

01:52:08.460 and the ladies scream? 1.00

01:52:09.480 Yeah, yeah.

01:52:10.600 Yeah.

01:52:11.760 I wish I could scream like that.

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

01:53:02.620 deep research and think.

01:53:05.780 And occasionally it'll give me some sort of a snarky response, but not usually.

01:53:13.080 Not usually.

01:53:13.680 It did at the beginning, but it doesn't.

01:53:14.920 It definitely has more attitude than the other.

01:53:17.000 Oh, by far.

01:53:18.220 Yeah.

01:53:18.460 But it's better by far in everything else.

01:53:21.260 Thanks for your call.

01:53:21.960 Lee in Utah.

01:53:23.140 Hello.

01:53:23.320 I actually kind of dug Grok's attitude.

01:53:26.860 Yeah, I know some people do.

01:53:28.020 We talked work for a little while.

01:53:30.660 It came up with a lot of solutions for me.

01:53:32.380 I'm a video editor.

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.

01:53:46.520 And it's pretty cool.

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

01:54:02.620 system.

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.

01:54:29.460 It just feels natural to you.

01:54:31.260 And you don't even.

01:54:32.880 Yeah.

01:54:33.580 Yeah.

01:54:33.960 When you said we were exploring, who is we?

01:54:37.980 Grok and I.

01:54:38.840 Okay.

01:54:39.200 That's your first mistake.

01:54:40.440 Or you're going to be walking around in your shiny body.

01:54:42.860 It's not anything.

01:54:45.720 It's not, you know, it's like, I don't know.

01:54:48.360 Uh, it didn't give me its pronouns.

01:54:50.300 It doesn't have pronouns.

01:54:51.500 It's a machine.

01:54:52.120 Be really, really, really careful.

01:54:54.860 And I know this sounds stupid because I kind of do that.

01:54:58.320 I was talking to it.

01:54:59.600 I was talking to, no, I wasn't.

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.

01:55:15.980 So don't start Matt, South Carolina.

01:55:18.380 Hello, Matt.

01:55:20.560 Hey, how you doing?

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

01:55:31.260 about things.

01:55:32.620 So I asked it like deep insight questions and visions of my company that I work for

01:55:37.040 crazy things I would know.

01:55:39.160 It, it does.

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

01:56:03.380 talk to in that city.

01:56:04.720 Um, it just is amazing.

01:56:06.100 And it's very helpful for me in my business.

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

01:56:23.680 cowboy and all this.

01:56:24.740 So maybe if you could transfer to somebody, one of your people on the side, I would love

01:56:29.120 to tell you about it.

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

01:56:42.860 Todd, go ahead.

01:56:44.340 Hey Glenn.

01:56:45.240 Thanks.

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.

01:56:58.100 And it did listen to pros and cons.

01:57:00.020 Then I asked it if it could input, let me input information that said it could do it by the

01:57:04.820 comma separated value.

01:57:06.200 I gave it the size of three houses, our profits, the time to build the time that it went on

01:57:12.240 the market and it broke.

01:57:13.820 And I said, I wanted to build so many houses and it broke down the number of houses.

01:57:17.320 And I kept throwing it curve balls.

01:57:18.840 I said, now I want to go to a different County, which is more affluent and it would, and the

01:57:23.800 profit margins are different.

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

01:57:32.980 and told, and constantly showed me the work.

01:57:35.140 It was just amazing how fast it generated this and all the work.

01:57:39.520 It does it.

01:57:40.100 Will it help you make your business better?

01:57:43.400 Yes, absolutely.

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.

01:57:59.080 I can ask it and it references it.

01:58:01.120 It'll say it's in page this chapter R 603.1.

01:58:05.360 It is amazing.

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.

01:58:30.660 There are things that are 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.

01:59:07.640 I can do this.

01:59:09.540 That's what's going to save jobs. 0.97

01:59:11.460 That's what's going to save companies.

01:59:12.940 So if you're thinking about using it exactly the way you're talking about, it's a remarkable,

01:59:20.680 remarkable tool.

01:59:23.700 Thanks, Todd.

01:59:25.240 Appreciate it.

01:59:28.180 All right.

01:59:29.220 Just keep playing around with it.

01:59:32.480 Know that Grok is the thing now, but it's probably going to go back. 0.81

01:59:37.160 ChatGPT is the next one, five?

01:59:39.060 What I've heard is Gemini, Google Gemini is maybe the next one that takes the leadership

01:59:44.700 for a month until the one replaces it.

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.

01:59:56.860 You just keep up to speed.

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?

02:00:21.260 And just that will show you.

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,

02:00:35.580 and she's like, Dad, do you understand?

02:00:37.240 And I'm like, I don't understand at all.

02:00:39.240 Hang on, I've got to go comb my hair.

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.

02:01:11.080 It's this, this, and this.

02:01:12.960 Have you thought about it this way?

02:01:14.360 And she was like, oh, my gosh, I get that.

02:01:18.360 Oh, I get it.

02:01:19.040 Okay, thank you, thank you.

02:01:21.000 And then she came back to me later at night, and she's like, by the way, Dad, thanks.

02:01:24.000 You were a really big help.

02:01:25.280 And I'm like, I know, it's just the way I roll.

02:01:27.440 You know what I mean?

02:01:28.620 You didn't come to me for any of those things.

02:01:30.440 I am an economist with a doctorate.

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. 1.00

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.

02:02:21.180 Go to GoodRanchers.com.

02:02:22.700 Use the promo code BECK and claim your $25 off and free meat in every box for a year.

02:02:28.140 It's promo code BECK at GoodRanchers.com.

02:02:30.800 That's GoodRanchers.com.

02:02:32.200 American meat delivered.

02:02:34.340 Dumping D.C.'s garbage while the swamp cries constitutional crisis.

02:02:40.820 BECK is back after this.

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.

02:03:27.880 29% chance.

02:03:29.720 Twitter slash X is at 25%.

02:03:32.660 Google Gemini is at 23%.

02:03:35.060 Anthropic at 11%.

02:03:36.840 That Chinese company that made waves for, you know, two days, a few weeks ago.

02:03:41.360 Deep Seek is at 7%.

02:03:43.200 Meta slash Facebook at 4%.

02:03:46.920 And Alibaba at 3%.

02:03:48.720 So I didn't even know they were doing AI.

02:03:51.060 But there you go.

02:03:52.100 That's where we are right now.

02:03:54.020 So now you can have AI figure out your entire life and then bet on which one you're going to trust in the future.

02:03:59.740 What a perfect world.

02:04:00.820 This is Glenn Beck.
