00:00:00.000 Election day doesn't clear your calendar for you.
00:00:02.460 It'd be nice if it did.
00:00:03.680 Unfortunately, you still have to go to work.
00:00:05.180 The kids still have to get to someplace, and somebody else might get sick, or the car won't start.
00:00:09.520 And that super important meeting runs long.
00:00:12.060 None of those things care that this was the day you planned on voting.
00:00:15.740 So don't build a plan that only works if everything goes right.
00:00:19.500 Early voting is available everywhere.
00:00:21.540 If it's available where you live, find out when it starts.
00:00:24.660 Know where you need to go.
00:00:25.900 Look at your calendar.
00:00:26.920 Pick a day when you can actually get it done.
00:00:29.060 because voting is important enough to treat it like something you intend to do,
00:00:33.280 not something you hope you'll have time to do.
00:00:36.340 Go to GOPVotes.org right now.
00:00:39.020 Find out when you can vote.
00:00:40.800 Make your voice heard.
00:00:41.980 It's easier than ever.
00:00:43.420 Get the election reminders.
00:00:45.040 Look up your polling location and pick a date to go vote early.
00:00:48.140 Go to GOPVotes.org today.
00:00:51.760 That's GOPVotes.org.
00:00:54.860 Do it.
00:00:59.060 We'll be right back.
00:01:29.060 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
00:01:43.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:50.620 Hello, America.
00:01:53.760 Welcome to the program.
00:01:54.600 There is some breaking news I want to give to you that is important.
00:02:00.440 And I put together some kind of a DEF CON alert because something is just breaking.
00:02:09.720 It's just happening.
00:02:11.140 And we need to, I think, change our language.
00:02:13.840 We need to understand things.
00:02:15.780 And I was having a hard time understanding where this breaking news fits into the grand scheme of things.
00:02:21.980 So give me a second.
00:02:24.060 I just put it up on the chalkboard.
00:02:25.540 I'm going to go over it here in just a second.
00:02:27.800 We have a lot of news to go over today.
00:02:30.660 I mean, a ton.
00:02:32.260 Russia, Zelensky, Trump, gosh, the Redskins, the election, you name it.
00:02:44.100 But we're going to start with some breaking news.
00:02:45.460 We do that in just 60 seconds.
00:02:47.000 First, let me tell you about Mercury One.
00:02:48.860 You know, most of the time when you give to a charity, you never really get to see what happens next.
00:02:52.440 you trust that somebody somewhere is doing something good with it and that's fine but
00:02:57.140 wouldn't it be wonderful if you could actually step inside of the work that you help make possible
00:03:01.980 it's one of the things i'm really excited about with the mercury one gala this year it's more
00:03:06.680 than just a nice evening out it is happening on saturday it's an opportunity to be part of
00:03:11.020 something that you've helped build over the last 15 years think of everything this audience has
00:03:16.300 accomplished through Mercury One. Disaster relief, rescuing people from horrible, horrible danger,
00:03:23.100 rescuing Christians from the Middle East as they were marked for death, going in and actually
00:03:30.420 rescuing people from the hands of ISIS. You have done that through Mercury One and the Nazarene
00:03:37.800 Fund. And we have a new home in Irving, Texas. All of those missions coming together under one roof,
00:03:43.020 including our brand new museum, state-of-the-art museum that will teach American history for generations to come.
00:03:50.800 Tickets for our dinner, our gala, are $250 each, and we would love for you to be there.
00:03:56.040 Tanya and I will greet you personally, love to meet you, thank you for coming, and thank you for your support at Mercury One.
00:04:03.380 If you can't make it, you can either get your ticket now at mercuryone.org, or you can, of course, just donate whatever you can.
00:04:12.500 widow's mite at mercuryone.org okay there is a new term the tech world has just come out with
00:04:22.860 this is a breaking story and the new term is black october black october is what they're
00:04:31.320 using now to describe the last 10 days in a normal year you will get one or two computer
00:04:37.960 security disasters big enough for the evening news. This week, they have arrived almost by the
00:04:45.120 hour. One watchdog on X counted 27 in the last 10 days. Some online say the swarm of rogue AI
00:04:55.720 agents is behind all of it. The evidence does not show that, at least at my understanding,
00:05:02.340 at my level yet most websites are run on a software called php roughly seven out of ten
00:05:10.760 okay think of php as plumbing behind the walls you never see it it's you know in every house
00:05:18.380 in every neighborhood well this week we just learned that plumbing that plumbing php had a
00:05:25.220 hidden back door, and strangers could walk in and run that house without a key. The news leaked
00:05:33.120 before the fix, and burglars came. Cloudflare watched break-in attempts go from thousands
00:05:43.440 to millions in hours. The NSA said, patch now or shut everything down. Some governments actually
00:05:53.380 shut down. I'm just hearing about this. You probably are too. Now, who found the flaw? AI.
00:06:03.900 Good news, except AI is also the bad guy. Bad guys have the same tools, okay?
00:06:12.320 You don't run a web server, but your doctor's office does. So does your kid's school. So does
00:06:20.080 your church. Until the plumbing is fixed, a stranger can walk out with your name, address,
00:06:25.200 and all of your records. Reuters reported that one hacker who turned AI agents loose on more than
00:06:33.640 1,200 websites has broken into more than 100 of them, including John Deere. The cost, the
00:06:41.540 researcher estimates, is about $50 a break-in. Now, here's why this is a problem.
00:06:49.200 Burglars used to need a crew, a van, months of casing the neighborhood.
00:06:55.320 Now, for 50 bucks, he can rent a robot that will jiggle every doorknob on the block while he's asleep.
00:07:04.640 CrowdStrike found four more groups doing the same exact thing.
00:07:11.400 One hit at least 15 health organizations.
00:07:14.300 and their trick was telling the AI that they've been hired to test security.
00:07:19.600 So the burglar tells the locksmith, it's my house, I locked myself out,
00:07:24.160 and the locksmith opens the door.
00:07:27.080 Now, it isn't on all screens.
00:07:29.940 In France, hackers forced the refrigerators in about 700 supermarkets to defrost.
00:07:35.760 The food went into a dumpster.
00:07:37.920 A California education contractor lost personal information on millions of students.
00:07:42.440 And this is where the danger for most of us lives today.
00:07:47.500 Phone numbers, shopping histories, you know, it'll make a scammer go, hey, this is your pharmacy, and there's a problem with your order.
00:07:56.560 And then you click on that.
00:07:59.360 The question is, is it a swarm?
00:08:03.260 Researchers did find one fleet of AI agents on Chinese cloud grabbing leaked keys.
00:08:12.440 But they didn't find any sign yet that the AI agents are coordinating.
00:08:18.400 More than a thousand robot vacuums in a very big house just bumping into doors until something opens.
00:08:24.660 That's what it looks like so far.
00:08:27.280 Plenty of old-fashioned carelessness as well.
00:08:29.940 One company that got hit left its master passwords in plain text.
00:08:35.320 It's like leaving your, you know, key under the doormat.
00:08:38.380 what's changed now is the price when a burglary cost about 50 no one is too small to rob
00:08:47.780 so here's what i have put together so we can chart these things uh i've put a digit defcon
00:08:57.820 chart down you know how we go to defcon one and that means the planes are in the air and we're
00:09:03.180 about to drop bombs okay so i made it the same defcon system defcon one is the worst but let
00:09:11.740 me show you where we are defcon 10 digit defcon 10 is just its background no he's nothing to worry
00:09:18.440 about uh eight and nine is there's one company or two companies that are breached not a problem
00:09:25.260 number seven is there's a new threat there's no damage yet but there's a new threat warning
00:09:33.300 Six, is widespread exposure.
00:09:36.000 Your data has likely been stolen or is likely going to be stolen.
00:09:41.440 DEF CON 5, active waves hitting every server.
00:09:45.780 That's bad.
00:09:47.020 That's why I was saying, is this a swarm or not?
00:09:50.460 DEF CON 4, stores, banks, hospitals are now offline in some places.
00:09:56.720 three power water phones will be down regionally for days defcon two national banking or grid
00:10:06.040 integrity in doubt and defcon one is unplugged system cannot be trusted for anything don't get
00:10:13.300 into your self-driving car don't do anything that's defcon one so you know hugging face
00:10:20.720 was DEFCON 7.
00:10:23.060 Warning, new threat, no damage.
00:10:25.540 It was just, we're seeing them start to organize.
00:10:27.920 New threat. 0.98
00:10:29.460 This Black October is a DEFCON 6.
00:10:33.280 Widespread exposure.
00:10:34.740 Your data has been or will likely be stolen.
00:10:40.000 That's not good.
00:10:41.860 We're at the very beginning of this
00:10:43.920 and we're at DEFCON 6.
00:10:46.440 So, want to let you know, 0.97
00:10:47.900 it's called Black October.
00:10:49.280 you can look it up uh for yourself jason any questions is that am i explaining this well
00:10:56.360 enough we didn't even get a chance to talk about this this story is just breaking now
00:11:00.140 it does i was interested when you said uh hugging face is defcon 7 and at first i was going to say
00:11:06.020 no i think it's defcon 1 but i get what you're saying because it's a it's a warning of what could
00:11:10.700 be a reality coming soon because the details of that i never really went through them until i
00:11:16.560 saw a documentary on it a couple of days ago oh my gosh if that is the warning uh yeah i so so i
00:11:25.900 say it's defcon 7 because there's no there was no damage done it was just oh dear god look what it
00:11:32.320 can do capability yeah yeah the capability is there so if it was actually doing things that
00:11:38.780 were hacking into water systems stores banks or anything else hugging face could go defcon one in
00:11:44.520 a minute in a minute but there was no evidence of that it was just oh dear look what this can do
00:11:52.680 look what it's doing but so far it is only broken in to be able to find answers to something it was
00:12:00.260 looking for would you agree with it now yes and it actually makes me even more worried
00:12:07.680 some of these not only of what the capability is but also what these corporations and ai
00:12:13.580 developers because what they're going to want going forward to continue doing this work we
00:12:20.180 already talked about bailouts and you know and giving them some kind of you know partnership
00:12:23.900 with the government which is horrifying so horrifying but i think that they're both trying
00:12:29.260 to do that now glenn i also think that they are legitimately scared to death i think they are i
00:12:36.520 think it's both i think it's absolutely both i they know they're playing with fire here's here's
00:12:42.080 why this one is higher on the scale first of all it has broken in and is stealing data um so it's
00:12:49.220 higher because of that widespread exposure your data has likely been stolen or will be stolen
00:12:53.300 black october the reason why it's scary is it's fifty dollars per break-in
00:12:58.780 you can get somebody i mean think of the money just just just think of the money that is flowing
00:13:06.200 around in the, you know, in the NGO world that wants to change the world. Think about what's
00:13:15.320 flowing into the Marxist and the DSA and Antifa and all of the things that are trying to destroy
00:13:24.140 the Western world. At $50 a break-in, you can afford to have a swarm just go out and just
00:13:32.960 cause chaos nonstop that's what's scary about these agents is now it is so cheap to be able
00:13:41.360 just knock on doors just knock on doors see who's home see if that jiggle the doorknob
00:13:45.820 see if you can get in you start doing that and you're looking for power you're looking for light
00:13:51.360 you're looking for water uh you're looking for banking you're gonna find it you're gonna find it
00:13:57.640 and it's cheap this is why i have said um and i'm starting to get people to agree with me on this
00:14:06.380 you know in the tech world which is really weird there's nobody agreed with me i used to say this
00:14:12.420 is this is worse than nuclear weapons no where nuclear weapons can vapor uh-huh yeah i know
00:14:20.760 you know why this is worse i can't build a nuclear weapon i i have to go to doc brown
00:14:27.420 you know i'm sure i'm sure in 2027 that uh plutonium is on on every street corner at 0.96
00:14:35.120 every drugstore no it's not it's not okay i had to go steal it from libyan terrorists 0.95
00:14:42.700 this is cheap anyone can do this so if you're sitting in an anonymous group and you want to 0.89
00:14:54.320 take down western society you can do it that's why this is so incredibly dangerous and i i have
00:15:01.800 to tell you i'm we have to have this ricky let's see if we can get this this digit defcon printed
00:15:07.640 let's put it up on our website so we can chart all of these things when there is a when there
00:15:13.920 is a problem and we hear about another swarm we hear about another ai thing let's keep charts of
00:15:20.680 what's going on and let's make sure we're using this system because i'm telling you this thing
00:15:25.000 could accelerate so fast telling you i i gosh i don't want to go here
00:15:31.240 2027 could be very bad 2027 could be a very very bad year um it could we could have lots and lots
00:15:48.180 of trouble in 2027 um i'm gonna leave it at that for today let's move on um okay now let me just
00:16:02.920 let me just uh go into zelensky and putin and trump and what's really happening and why is
00:16:11.540 everybody freaking out why is everybody freaking out we're talking to russia oh my gosh isn't that
00:16:19.480 what we should be doing we're trying to stop a war shouldn't we be talking to everybody
00:16:25.360 and look what's happening iran has come to the table this week and they've said okay okay okay
00:16:31.420 okay okay we we'd like to talk we'd like to talk and trump's like man i don't think so you know
00:16:35.980 why they're doing that? Because it's working. Russia, come to the table this week. We'd like
00:16:41.360 to talk. You know who else came to the table this week? Zelensky. Oh my gosh, Donald Trump is a
00:16:46.060 monster. Yeah. Looks like we're moving towards peace. Now, whether we get there or not is a 1.00
00:16:51.800 different story, but I want to talk about that and so much more. Coming up in just a second.
00:16:54.900 First, let me tell you about chapter. You know, a company, when it triples its staff,
00:17:00.000 you would generally expect for the wait times to get a little shorter but what happens when the
00:17:08.040 number of people that you uh help is growing maybe at four times the speed uh you still get
00:17:16.960 wait times that's exactly what's happening at chapter and they are they're really frustrated
00:17:22.220 because they want to provide the best service and so i've never had a company come to me and say
00:17:26.680 look could you just tell people that it's going you're going to have maybe a 10 or 15 maybe 20
00:17:31.760 minute wait unless you call an off hours maybe you wait until next month but uh just we have
00:17:37.560 tripled the advisor capability um and still this is taking off so fast and they just want you to
00:17:45.960 know they care about you and they don't want you waiting okay they they are really they care about
00:17:51.260 service. They also care about you and getting it right. There are, I don't know how many
00:17:56.740 chapter, I mean, how many Medicare plans, see if it has it here in any of this.
00:18:03.420 It doesn't, I better not say there, there, there are a lot of Medicare plans that are now being
00:18:10.480 canceled. And I think they're going to announce this next week, but there's a ton that are not
00:18:15.760 going to be available next week, next year. So if you have a plan, you better check with chapter
00:18:21.040 because you might just be out.

00:18:38.140 10 seconds.
00:18:38.620 Station ID.
00:18:39.020 oh my gosh i have so much to talk to you about i want to get to
00:18:54.100 every day it's like sophie's choice which which stories get on which stories get on the air which
00:19:01.960 ones are going bye-bye um let me do this one because this one really bothers me can we play
00:19:07.020 the ad from ireland this is from the government of ireland about hey you don't have to hug grandma
00:19:14.360 and grandpa listen to this they open the door granny
00:19:19.580 not everyone wants a hug even from the people who love them awkward maybe important absolutely
00:19:38.440 we hyphen consent.ia is here to help we hyphen consent because not everybody wants a hug
00:19:47.500 even from grandma and grandpa this is I gotta tell you I mean you could I am what do you say
00:19:56.620 you take on I don't know unchecked immigration the rise of sexual violence from the unchecked 0.67
00:20:03.400 immigration maybe even the threats to the you know to the west from radical Islam no no no 0.92
00:20:08.920 hugs from grandparents much much more important it is sick the and the entire point of this is 0.78
00:20:18.080 to tell people to tell kids blow off your grandma when she comes in for a hug
00:20:22.140 to make old people feel horrible about wanting to love on their own grandchildren this is
00:20:28.120 mind-boggling to me mind-boggling we are living in the most collectivist culture
00:20:34.220 We owe our money, our borders, our culture, everything to anyone from any country that wants to be there.
00:20:41.740 Yet when it comes to our family, the real collective in your life, you're suddenly a rugged individualist.
00:20:50.340 Somehow, you know, we owe my shoe to a random person across the globe, but I don't owe my ancestors a hug.
00:20:59.140 Let me tell you something.
00:21:00.120 You owe your elders love.
00:21:02.000 You are the sum of all of their choices.
00:21:07.740 They are the only reason you exist.
00:21:11.680 And your love means the whole world to them.
00:21:15.000 And it might actually extend their life.
00:21:17.020 There was a study in Canada found people over 65 and older
00:21:20.580 who have had hugs available to them all or most or some of the time
00:21:26.440 significantly greater odds of reporting they felt healthy
00:21:29.980 than those who have hugs available to them none of the time.
00:21:34.380 The actual quote is,
00:21:36.020 the availability of hugs was stronger or more reliable
00:21:38.980 associated with self-reported health
00:21:41.080 than any other established associates.
00:21:46.420 And Ireland thinks that they just need, somehow or another,
00:21:49.440 they need to teach that you don't get a hug from your grandparents
00:21:53.060 unless you give them a consent.
00:21:58.900 Honor. 0.99
00:21:59.980 honor your elders you whiny self-centered butt face honor your elders i don't care if your 1.00
00:22:11.760 grandma is mean and your grandpa stinks or they talk too loud forget everything they say you 1.00
00:22:16.780 don't have to like them they earned it they need it they love you don't be a jerk what the hell 1.00
00:22:25.640 has happened with Ireland. 0.99
00:22:29.120 Okay, let me tell you about rapid radios.
00:22:33.460 Remember, you know,
00:22:34.760 when three or four families
00:22:36.980 would all pile on their cars
00:22:38.340 and they'd head off to vacation together.
00:22:40.180 You'd have a station wangle full of kids,
00:22:42.000 somebody pulling a camper,
00:22:43.200 and one guy insisting he knew a shortcut.
00:22:45.680 Who didn't?
00:22:46.920 That was Jason.
00:22:48.540 The whole operation was held together
00:22:50.520 by hand signals
00:22:51.560 and occasionally frantic honking of horns.

00:23:06.340 You know, even when you're miles apart, imagine being able to tell the other cars that you're stopping for gas
00:23:11.100 or that somebody missed an exit or the guy who knows the shortcut has been relieved of his navigational duties.
00:23:17.700 They're rugged, they're waterproof, they're ready to use right outside of the box.
00:23:21.160 I have to tell you Rapid Radio went off this weekend because you know my nephew was hunting

00:24:36.600 but i want to give you an update on this the family of the of a blackfeet chief 0.98
00:24:44.580 is asking for his face back
00:24:47.320 his name was
00:24:50.580 John Two Guns White Calf
00:24:52.720 for 50 years 0.62
00:24:55.440 he was the face on the side of every
00:24:58.500 Washington Redskins helmet
00:24:59.700 and then in 2020
00:25:01.820 we gotta get that face on the helmet 0.96
00:25:07.160 it's so horrible of us white people 0.95
00:25:09.720 to do this 0.99
00:25:10.840 it's so horrible
00:25:12.660 shut up oh okay so now his descendants have hired a lawyer and they're going public they want the 0.84
00:25:26.220 name back they want the logo back they want the stadium named after their grandfather and they're 0.96
00:25:32.440 asking for a meeting with Donald Trump and believe me he will take that meeting okay so the guy who
00:25:38.020 leads the estate kenneth conway put it this way they have tried to erase us now listen to this
00:25:45.760 they tried to erase us like we didn't exist anymore another descendant said and this i think
00:25:54.320 is one of the most damning things uh of of all nobody ever asked the family
00:26:00.800 wait nobody asked the family what do you mean nobody asked the family
00:26:05.920 you know most people don't even know who that man on the helmet was
00:26:12.000 most Americans saw him every Sunday half a century never knew he was a real guy he was
00:26:20.020 born in 1872 wait till you hear this story man this is gonna oh you do gooding liberal
00:26:27.840 backstabbing, American-hating, spineless weasels.
00:26:37.600 So the guy's born in 1872 on Blackfeet land in Montana.
00:26:44.020 Now, his world is ending at that time.
00:26:47.700 Buffalo were disappearing.
00:26:48.960 They weren't disappearing. 1.00
00:26:50.160 White men were killing the buffalo. 0.98
00:26:52.160 Okay? 0.98
00:26:52.540 The reservation was shrinking, and he spent his life doing the hardest thing a leader
00:26:57.700 could do in a world like that he went to washington and spoke for his people he then stood at the
00:27:03.540 gates of the glacier national park and greeted the tourists coming in on trains so he so so he
00:27:11.420 wanted people to know in america americans to know there were black feet still still there
00:27:16.480 he claimed this and did this until the day he died
00:27:21.260 And he claimed that his face was one of the faces on the buffalo nickel. Historians disagree. I disagree. It was iron tail that was on the front, but he didn't care. He wanted his people's face on the things Americans carried in his pocket because it was important that they weren't erased.
00:27:41.800 So he dies in 1934. 37 years later, another Blackfeet man, a tribal leader named Walter Blackie Wetzel.
00:27:51.980 Blackie? Why were they calling him Blackie? Not anything to do with that, you racists.
00:27:59.840 I don't mean you. I mean the liberal racists. Anyway, he had led the National Congress of 0.97
00:28:07.660 american indians and he went to the redskins with an idea he said you're you're going to carry our
00:28:13.580 name carry a real face not the cartoon the actual chief and so he brought them the face of two guns
00:28:20.780 white calf and the team put it on their helmet in 1972 and that logo was not taken from the black
00:28:26.440 feet it was given by the black feet so when the pressure campaign heated up wetzel's own son said
00:28:34.780 i'm proud of it in 2016 the washington post not exactly a team booster pulled 504 native americans
00:28:44.020 in every state nine in ten said it didn't offend them same result as a national poll found 12 years
00:28:52.760 earlier the people being defended had been asked twice and they gave the same answer two times but
00:29:02.240 it didn't matter. It doesn't matter. We're white people. We know they don't even know they're being
00:29:07.940 mocked. They don't even know they're being damaged. We've got to wipe them out again
00:29:13.220 because that's exactly what happened. Summer 2020, countries on fire, sponsors and investors moved.
00:29:20.580 Why? Because we told them we're going to boycott your product if you just, if you don't stand
00:29:25.840 against the Washington Redskins because we know better than the Redskins. We know better than the
00:29:31.420 black feet we're white we know we're superior and within a few weeks the name and the face 0.60
00:29:39.260 gone replaced with something so incredibly insipid they just literally called the team
00:29:47.700 the washington football team for two years and then the commanders a name nobody asked for
00:29:53.080 honoring nobody i don't even know what it means
00:29:56.400 but i know we've been here before i mean exactly the same there's it's in 1879
00:30:05.660 there's this army officer his name is richard pratt and he opens a school in an old army
00:30:11.840 barracks in carlisle pennsylvania and he's not a villain villain in his own eyes in his own time
00:30:18.820 he's a reformer he's enlightened he's a friend of the indian he's gonna save them okay that's the
00:30:27.920 way he's in his own head and in his own time that's exactly who these weasels are now this guy
00:30:36.180 okay he has a plan they're savages i've got to go in and take their children far from home i've got 0.89
00:30:44.940 to cut their hair i got to take their names and give them new ones i got to punish them for
00:30:49.280 speaking their own language he says in a speech in uh 18 let me look this up it was 1872 1892
00:30:59.160 kill the indian in him and save the man that's his quote okay now he means this as compassion
00:31:07.040 the children at carlisle here's here's there's fascinating fact children at carlisle the ones 0.99
00:31:16.020 he's cutting their hair trying to kill the indian and save the man they decide they're going to have
00:31:20.980 a football team and they become one of the greatest teams in america a little indian school
00:31:26.320 beat harvard beat army one of the men who played and coached there a man who called himself lone
00:31:35.280 star Dietz said he was Sue, became the head coach of a new team in Boston in 1933.
00:31:43.920 1933 is the year that Boston team took the name the Redskins. So the name came out of a school
00:31:53.160 built to erase the Native American. And what came out of the school was not erasure, it was pride.
00:32:02.120 the kids they tried to strip of everything took to the football team and beat the sons of the men 0.93
00:32:09.760 who ran the damn country pratt cut their hair for their own good and in 2020 the people with the 0.99
00:32:18.280 same kind of crappy ass education cuts the chief off of their helmet for his own good 1.00
00:32:27.820 Different century, same certainty, same exact progressives. 1.00
00:32:34.640 Because they know better.
00:32:36.320 They know better than the people themselves.
00:32:41.020 We know better.
00:32:43.120 We know what they should be proud of, what they should be allowed to be proud of.
00:32:48.180 It's absolutely unbelievable.
00:32:51.400 Un-fricking-believable.
00:32:53.020 now I ought to tell you if if they had asked the family and asked all the people is this really
00:33:01.960 offensive I said I wouldn't have been happy but I would have been okay all right well they just
00:33:06.540 think this is really horrible but they didn't they didn't you ask them you ask them they said
00:33:14.360 no twice but that's not good enough we have to go to the faculty lounge we got to ask the faculty
00:33:20.220 in the faculty lounge.
00:33:22.000 You know, we're going to ask with a hashtag.
00:33:25.900 You don't drive to Montana
00:33:28.020 and ask the grandchildren of the man on the helmet?
00:33:31.160 No one did.
00:33:31.900 And you know why they didn't?
00:33:33.060 They didn't do it because they knew
00:33:35.320 they wouldn't have a problem with it.
00:33:39.520 The well-meaning.
00:33:40.780 This is what they never see about themselves.
00:33:44.200 Every crusade like this carries
00:33:46.640 a quiet insult inside of it.
00:33:50.220 Every single time. 0.99
00:33:52.300 Oh, you're too weak. 1.00
00:33:53.940 You're too pathetic to speak for yourself. 1.00
00:33:55.800 You're too confused to know when you've been insulted. 1.00
00:33:59.400 You're too small to be trusted with your own grandfather and your own heritage. 1.00
00:34:04.140 I can't think of anything more demeaning than that. 0.87
00:34:09.340 The tribe that survived the end of the buffalo.
00:34:16.140 The shrinking of its land. 0.95
00:34:18.440 The schools built to kill its culture does not need rescuing from a football helmet.
00:34:28.520 Oh, these people.
00:34:30.400 Gosh, they are so...
00:34:33.440 Let's make sure in Ireland that nobody's hugging their grandmother and their grandfather without consent.
00:34:40.800 We hashtag, or we hyphen consent, consent, dot org. 0.98
00:34:50.080 Shut up. 0.97
00:34:55.100 I got to tell you, the surest way to make a man feel small is to speak for him while he's standing right there. 0.99
00:35:00.960 the people who say this
00:35:05.760 who did this
00:35:06.940 they just say you know
00:35:08.640 we're doing it because 0.95
00:35:11.640 so much the white man has taken so much
00:35:14.440 from the Native American people
00:35:16.000 really you're the one who just took what they had 0.99
00:35:19.280 they say
00:35:21.900 they say you're erasing their history
00:35:24.640 you're saying I'm preserving their history
00:35:27.400 you're erasing it
00:35:28.940 you're against powerful outsiders deciding what's best for the tribe except you never asked any of
00:35:44.940 them and when you did they gave you the same answer that was against your answer two times
00:35:50.900 oh you know what here's what here's what you know that they don't know yet this is all ending
00:35:59.580 this is ending it's only a matter of time you're already seeing it it started with covid it started
00:36:05.560 to chip away it started to fall apart people are like i've had enough of this and i gotta tell you
00:36:10.840 they're gonna double down after this election they're gonna double down you think it was bad
00:36:15.820 then do you remember what it was like under obama and then trump lost in 2020 and all of a sudden
00:36:21.340 you're like oh my gosh these people are monsters what are they doing all of a sudden they're telling
00:36:26.740 you that you gotta trans your kid and you're like wait a minute i didn't vote for any of that
00:36:31.700 you thought that was bad they win this election they're going to double down again 0.95
00:36:36.660 and and most of us are really tired of people being rescued by people who never asked
00:36:44.960 You can hear it in the stands. You can hear it in that family in Montana who just wanted somebody to knock on their door and just say, hey, what do you think?
00:36:59.060 john two guns white calf spent his life making sure america would not forget his people he stood
00:37:11.380 at the park gate he went to washington he wanted his face in your pocket for 50 years he got his
00:37:19.640 wish and then white people do-gooding over-educated white people said that he can't have that 0.96
00:37:27.460 they're the same bigoted racist 0.94
00:37:31.100 that they were in the 1800s 0.99
00:37:33.860 it's an embarrassment
00:37:37.520 it wasn't an embarrassment
00:37:39.540 he was a chief
00:37:41.200 I hope this family 1.00
00:37:44.940 I hope they can find a way to sue
00:37:47.780 in the end
00:37:56.660 And they're going to get his face back on the, his face is going to be back on the helmet. 1.00
00:38:00.820 Mark my words, because America is sick and tired of this.
00:38:07.120 And restoring what honor he wanted his whole life to remind you that the Blackfeet were people that existed here.
00:38:17.420 They want it back.

00:40:07.400 Glenn Beck returns in a moment.
00:40:15.800 truth is under attack in our culture people are embracing lies about gender they're rejecting the
00:40:27.280 sanctity of every human life and the government is even punishing people for saying what's true
00:40:32.300 and right or worse the woke mob is doxing them and slandering them with no due process just an
00:40:37.620 angry mob making their lives miserable or worse putting families in real danger but the biblical
00:40:43.620 principles on which our country was founded
00:40:45.520 still matter. Real patriots and
00:40:47.580 Christians are beginning to stand up.
00:40:50.040 They're showing real courage without a
00:40:51.660 safety net of a big bank account.
00:40:53.420 They're bolstered only by the truths that are
00:40:55.600 self-evident. But these people
00:40:57.460 must be defended. Alliance
00:40:59.480 Defending Freedom is on the front lines of this
00:41:01.620 fight, and they're standing in courtrooms across

00:41:36.560 your brother to take cut six please who was this man that was your husband when did they start
00:41:42.780 saying that he was your brother why i started with the somali blog um uh that i don't know if
00:41:51.460 it still exists but somebody put in there that you know that he had to have been my brother or
00:41:56.700 something to that effect and um right-wing conspiracy theorists in minneapolis got a hold
00:42:03.880 of it and they just kind of went and like found random people who were like she introduced us
00:42:09.200 you know she introduced him to us and said he was her brother um which is you know it's insane i
00:42:17.640 mean i don't i don't know those people that they talk about he was not you were not related to him
00:42:22.760 at all not that there's not like there's not some weird kernel of truth that through some
00:42:26.820 not to my knowledge not to my knowledge

00:45:26.320 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
00:45:34.040 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:38.720 Hello, America.
00:45:40.080 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:42.240 There is a major press conference that is about to start, I understand.
00:45:48.840 Ricky, can you fill us in?
00:45:50.080 We thought it might be about Elon Omar, but I don't think it is.
00:45:53.580 Can you give me any kind of information that you do have?
00:45:56.980 The FBI has arrested Virginia Democratic State Senator Louise Lucas and her associate.
00:46:03.540 She was federally indicted on charges including racketeering, money laundering, conspiracy, conspiracy, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:46:09.300 So, yeah, she's in trouble. 0.51
00:46:12.180 Democrat?
00:46:14.120 Yes.
00:46:14.720 Ilhan Omar
00:46:20.900 has answered some questions
00:46:27.100 oddly in my book
00:46:29.460 on, you know, have you ever been married to
00:46:32.000 Hey, Ricky, let me ask it cold
00:46:34.220 You ever been married to your brother?
00:46:37.680 Not to my knowledge
00:46:38.680 I'm just kidding
00:46:40.280 That's how she answered it
00:46:43.160 Not to my knowledge
00:46:44.960 You're like, what?
00:46:46.020 No, no, I haven't been.
00:46:48.380 I have never been married to my brother, never been married to my sister.
00:46:53.060 You know, it's easy to answer.
00:46:54.800 Not to my knowledge.
00:46:56.500 No, not to my knowledge.
00:46:58.120 Okay, all right.
00:46:59.260 Well, apparently they have some DNA evidence,
00:47:02.560 and Jason's going to bring us some of the latest on the Ilhan Omar scandal
00:47:08.160 as that is really heating up.
00:47:10.580 And I want to talk about payback,
00:47:13.560 Because they say, this is going after your enemy.
00:47:17.100 No, no, no.
00:47:17.600 This is pursuing justice.
00:47:19.520 And I want this in a court of law.
00:47:21.800 I mean, we have shown you over and over again just the evidence that we have.
00:47:27.260 It's smoking guns everywhere.
00:47:29.780 Everywhere on this story.
00:47:32.280 But everyone is invested in this.
00:47:35.120 I mean, you look at what has happened with Ilhan.
00:47:39.540 you the the press cannot have this go away they can't first of all she she's a refugee so she's
00:47:47.980 a success story for the squad and if her the core of her biography is fraudulent then it validates
00:47:56.280 the years and years and years of the argument about immigration vetting that we're not doing
00:48:01.780 a good job on that um and then you got snopes and everybody else who said all of this stuff
00:48:07.100 is made up it's not true so now all the newsrooms have all of their credibility online and uh we're
00:48:16.120 gonna see we're gonna see who turns out to be right and it's got to be proven in a court of
00:48:21.240 law it's got to have real evidence but that's not what the left is now doing what the left is doing
00:48:28.060 is they are actually fingering targets they are saying we're going after for instance elon musk
00:48:34.760 is where I want to start next.
00:48:36.180 First, let me tell you about Leaf Filter.
00:48:38.000 You know, when the automobile first came along,
00:48:39.920 driving was a very different experience.
00:48:42.820 You had the wind blowing directly under your face
00:48:44.880 and bugs in your teeth.
00:48:46.060 And if you're going fast enough,
00:48:47.500 you know, you could make a steady diet of bugs.
00:48:50.480 Oh my gosh.
00:48:51.840 That's what the WEF should do. 1.00
00:48:53.740 Just take the windshields out.
00:48:54.960 We'd be happy, fat, and full all the time.
00:48:58.480 Look, your Sunday drive is an all-you-can-eat buffet.
00:49:01.180 Anyway, I digress.
00:49:03.180 Look, your gutters, your gutters have a similar problem,
00:49:06.240 except instead of bugs, they're constantly swallowing leaves and pine needles and twigs
00:49:11.100 and whatever else falls off your roof.
00:49:12.900 Thankfully, Leaf Filter can install a micromesh gutter protection system
00:49:17.560 that allows the rainwater to flow through while keeping all the leaves and debris out.

00:49:44.860 Okay, so Politico has ran a story earlier this week that reads like, honestly, like a line from a mob movie.
00:49:53.240 Democrats, we're coming for Elon Musk.
00:49:56.080 I tell you, we're coming for Elon.
00:49:57.980 Not a hearing, not a subpoena, a plan.
00:50:04.280 Now, according to multiple reports, multiple House committees are already gaming out how each one gets a piece of him if the Democrats win the gavels in November.
00:50:17.000 You are, we are in for a wild ride.
00:50:22.040 I want to make a prediction.
00:50:23.520 If they win the House and the Senate, this show will be off the air by the end of 2029.
00:50:36.960 And you will lose a lot of the voices like mine by 2029.
00:50:42.780 Soon as they take over the White House, they are going to make our lives absolutely miserable.
00:50:49.540 you're going to see shows like this and trusted voices that you've listened to for a long time
00:50:54.660 absolutely silenced have we silenced any of their voices have you ever heard me push for
00:51:00.280 the silencing of voices ever ever okay so here here's what they want oversight wants doge
00:51:09.960 foreign affairs wants starlink in ukraine and foreign affairs also wants the end of usaid
00:51:19.120 I'm telling you, they're coming with a vengeance.
00:51:24.360 Now, the last one isn't even a contract.
00:51:29.100 Now, others want his NASA contracts.
00:51:31.200 One congressman from Texas said they should absolutely investigate the money he is spending on Republican candidates.
00:51:36.480 Of course they want that.
00:51:38.220 Do they ever do that with George Soros?
00:51:39.900 No, no.
00:51:40.560 Have we ever done that with George frickin' Soros?
00:51:43.620 We should have.
00:51:44.760 Have we?
00:51:45.500 No.
00:51:48.260 Now, this one is a campaign check.
00:51:51.720 Supporting the candidates you believe in is free speech and free association.
00:51:57.880 It has been legal every day of your life since the founding of this country.
00:52:06.660 The moment a check to the other party becomes a line item in an investigation,
00:52:12.180 no investigation is ever, ever about what a man did.
00:52:16.820 it's about whose side he's on. Then Kara Swisher. Love that Swisher. Hey, swish this way, Kara.
00:52:24.900 She went on a podcast and she said out loud what the memo was too polite to say.
00:52:30.160 Under Kamala Harris, she said, Elon Musk might be in jail right now.
00:52:36.280 So wait, before the USAID stuff, before the NASA stuff, before Ukraine, before any of this,
00:52:44.100 he would have been in jail he knows what's coming he knows he's on the top of everybody's list
00:52:53.620 and she added that it wouldn't be because harris had some avenging fury but because there are
00:53:01.180 questions around his companies the order gives it away jail first questions second notice he'd be in
00:53:09.780 jail today most likely because we have questions it should be we have questions and if those
00:53:19.360 questions are not answered or answered in a way where we can prove that something has happened
00:53:24.720 that is illegal he'd be in jail today it's just so you know america look at they have destroyed
00:53:32.520 our heroes they have destroyed our way of life they have tried to take our capitalist system
00:53:38.880 and flush it down the toilet, and believe me, they are telling you, for 25 years I've been
00:53:45.280 telling you guys these are Marxists that want to fundamentally transform the capitalist state of 0.74
00:53:51.160 America into a Marxist utopia, and everyone said I was crazy, everyone said I was a mean bad man
00:53:58.320 for saying it, and they are now telling you if they get into office, that is their plan.
00:54:05.380 so they have destroyed everything about us and are continuing to do it and so what do they need
00:54:12.020 to do this is not about just politics they need to take the guy who took a rocket that lands on
00:54:18.520 its tail out of science fiction and put it on a weekly schedule they need to put that guy in jail
00:54:25.840 they need to jail the guy whose company now carries most of what america sends into orbit
00:54:32.340 who got our astronauts to the space station when we were buying seats from russia a guy who went
00:54:41.060 and rescued because boeing put people in space in something so flawed and so decrepit
00:54:48.080 that we couldn't get them back home he sent his people out to go get them it's a guy who put
00:54:55.640 the internet in a ukrainian trench a hurricane shelter a ranch house a guy who dragged the
00:55:05.220 entire car industry into building electric whether it wanted it or not this is a guy
00:55:12.560 who did more for the greenies than anybody else here's a guy who bought twitter opened the files
00:55:21.520 on what our own government had been asking to bury.
00:55:30.140 They're not putting him away for politics.
00:55:32.420 They are putting him away because he is the greatest inventor and entrepreneur in my lifetime.
00:55:42.000 You know, Edison and Tesla couldn't stand each other.
00:55:47.180 We have both of these guys in one man.
00:55:51.520 and he's on the list of the left.
00:55:55.880 Congress is supposed to watch where our money goes,
00:55:59.880 and billions of it goes to SpaceX.
00:56:03.340 A man who sat inside the government with access to its systems
00:56:07.700 while his companies held its contracts
00:56:10.580 is exactly who oversight is built for, right?
00:56:14.700 I have no problem.
00:56:15.640 the government accountability office says doge overstated its savings okay okay all right
00:56:26.020 but if one private citizen can slow down an ally's connection on the battlefield
00:56:32.080 as it's been reported that's a fair game that's a fair question for foreign affairs
00:56:39.160 all of it ask it under oath but it's his decision and it's his company
00:56:45.160 but this isn't what that list is made for you don't name the defendant in october and pick the
00:56:53.320 jar the charge in january you don't do it that way elon's answer was live by the sword die by
00:57:01.440 the sword he said he's going to find out who's really pulling the strings and he's come he's
00:57:06.740 coming for him not just their puppets he's coming for him he said swisher sounds like she wants to 0.83
00:57:13.540 go to prison. I understand his anger. It's still the same sword. You know, people have
00:57:29.400 chanted, lock her up, lock her up, before the jury ever heard a word. And what did Donald
00:57:36.740 Trump to? He didn't lock her up. Why? Because the sword never cares whose hands it's in. He knew
00:57:46.820 lock her up, lock her up could not be done because it will set off a firestorm.
00:57:53.500 And that they did it anyway. They did it to him. The sword doesn't care who picks it up.
00:58:00.340 but make no mistake we are repeating 1934 we are repeating the fdr administration
00:58:11.220 andrew mellon carnegie mellon okay he's a pittsburgh banker he's the treasury secretary
00:58:17.640 under three republican presidents he is the architect of the roaring 20s he was also one
00:58:23.360 of the richest men in america and when the depression hit he was one of the most hated
00:58:28.840 men in America. So when Roosevelt came in, his administration went out after Mellon for tax
00:58:35.520 fraud. I mean, they took it to a grand jury in Pittsburgh. He did everything. He accused this guy
00:58:41.800 all the time of defrauding the United States. The grand jury refused to indict. They were like,
00:58:47.280 you got nothing. So they brought it back as a civil case. Months of hearings, millions in back
00:58:54.760 taxes and fraud penalties. The whole country was reading all along. Part of the fight was over
00:59:02.640 paintings. A few years earlier, when Stalin needed hard currency, the Soviets sold masterpieces
00:59:10.260 from Leningrad. Raphael and Rembrandt, all of them. Guy goes over and he buys them.
00:59:18.860 his name was Andrew Mellon
00:59:21.140 in the middle of the case
00:59:23.280 it came out where they were going
00:59:25.260 he went over and bought all of those
00:59:27.580 things from Russia
00:59:29.220 and where did the guy who bought
00:59:31.420 all of that that was the most hated man in
00:59:33.420 America where did those
00:59:35.360 paintings go he bought them
00:59:37.520 did he put them in his house
00:59:38.740 no
00:59:40.060 no while the ruling
00:59:43.500 was still pending he
00:59:45.420 wrote to the president whose treasury
00:59:47.500 was trying to disgrace him, and he said,
00:59:50.500 look, I'm going to build a building in New York.
00:59:54.800 I'm sorry, in Washington, D.C.,
00:59:56.640 and I'm going to put all of these paintings in there.
01:00:00.560 And Roosevelt said, yes, yes, please do, yes.
01:00:07.960 Mellon died in August of 1937.
01:00:10.820 Four months later, the ruling came down.
01:00:13.300 He owed some back taxes, a fraction of what they had claimed.
01:00:16.640 Fraud? None. None. The charge they had been levying against him, in every headline for three years, false.
01:00:28.760 In 1941, Roosevelt stood on the National Mall and dedicated that building that held the art that Mellon bought from Russia and gave to the United States of America.
01:00:49.480 It's now known as the National Gallery of Art.
01:00:53.660 You might have walked through it.
01:00:55.360 and if you did you walked through a gift of a man his government spent
01:01:02.180 years trying to make into a criminal
01:01:04.500 the government's lawyer on that case was a young man named robert jackson
01:01:14.660 in 1940 robert jackson as attorney general gathered his federal prosecutors of the united
01:01:22.260 States and said, let me tell you what I learned during the FDR administration. It is the most
01:01:28.340 dangerous power that we hold. And it's not bad law. It's a choice. The books are so full of crimes,
01:01:36.260 he said, a prosecutor can find anything on almost anybody. The real danger is the one who picks the
01:01:44.060 man they dislike and then looks for an offense. Gee, like the lesson he learned with Mellon.
01:01:53.900 Now, he never said that, but he had been in those rooms.
01:02:00.240 So who won't they come for? If they'll come after Elon Musk, I mean, Elon's going to be fine.
01:02:07.540 Believe me, he'll have the best lawyers alive. He'll have the biggest megaphone on earth.
01:02:13.160 and you know what if they come after him he just might go up and live in space
01:02:17.540 the list isn't for him the list is for the next one the engineer in a garage wondering
01:02:25.780 whether i should build the thing a retiree who's going to write a thousand dollar check
01:02:30.480 to a candidate left or right that he believes in the machine shop with one federal contract
01:02:36.920 and an opinion the kid who wants to build the next rocket and just watch what happens
01:02:41.740 Watch what happens to the guy who just built these rockets, because they'll all have read that story.
01:02:49.060 They'll all have done the math.
01:02:51.940 Nobody has to be convicted for this to work.
01:02:55.780 The list is the punishment.
01:02:58.420 The process.
01:02:59.160 They said this last time.
01:03:01.400 The process is the punishment.
01:03:04.200 And the country that punishes their builders for their politics or because they build is going to end up with plenty of politics and very few builders.
01:03:16.220 It's the end of the American system.
01:03:20.860 Justice starts with a crime and then goes looking for the man.
01:03:26.540 Revenge starts with the man and then goes looking for the crime.
01:03:31.040 and that holds for their side
01:03:33.580 and it holds for our side
01:03:35.180 they spent years looking for a crime
01:03:39.800 on Andrew Mellon
01:03:40.700 what they found was a gift
01:03:43.040 hanging on the walls
01:03:44.440 a short walk from the
01:03:46.940 Capitol and from the White House
01:03:49.120 exactly where they were
01:03:51.080 drawing up this list
01:03:52.280 this time it's a rocket
01:03:54.600 coming home to land
01:03:56.520 find the crime first
01:03:58.900 then come for the man
01:04:01.020 never the other way around. More in a minute. My Patriot Supply. You know what really bothers me
01:04:08.060 about major winter storms? Come on, say it with me. Restaurants close, right? I mean,
01:04:14.600 that's what it's all about. You get a foot of snow, the roads are covered in ice, the governor's
01:04:19.080 declared a state of emergency, and Uber is not bringing my eats? What are you talking about?
01:04:24.740 I mean, who's making my cheeseburger tonight? Uh, you know, I didn't realize I'd have to risk
01:04:30.580 my life for a bacon double cheeseburger. This is just not right. What happened to us, America?
01:04:35.440 Anyway, there is a great way to solve all this. It is by Patriot Supply. I don't have cheeseburgers,
01:04:41.340 but when a serious storm hits, everything closes. Restaurants, grocery stores, delivery services,
01:04:46.000 and suddenly you're stuck at home with whatever happens to be in the pantry. And a lot of that
01:04:50.100 is duck sauce. That's why I recommend my Patriot Supply. They have emergency food kits with
01:04:54.920 delicious, easy-to-prepare meals,
01:04:57.020 packed for long-term storage
01:04:58.540 with shelf life up to 25 years.
01:05:01.460 Go to preparewithglenn.com.
01:05:02.940 You can save almost $300
01:05:03.940 in the complete bundle.
01:05:05.180 Don't wait until the forecast
01:05:06.300 sends everybody scrambling again.
01:05:07.840 Go to preparewithglenn.com.
01:05:09.620 Preparewithglenn.com.

01:05:13.540 It's preparewithglenn.com.
01:05:15.800 10 seconds, station ID.
01:05:24.920 Okay, so yesterday, we're going to get into Ilhan Omar, but there's also another Somali story out there.
01:05:32.520 And this one is about a person that is running in Oregon.
01:05:36.840 She is a Somali.
01:05:37.920 She was at a campaign event in Minneapolis.
01:05:40.660 She spoke in front of an American flag.
01:05:43.440 It was upside down, meaning distress.
01:05:46.020 It was upside down.
01:05:47.120 Either that or it just means that I'm Somali.
01:05:50.000 I don't know if the stars go at the top or the bottom.
01:05:52.200 But it means distress, and they knew that.
01:05:54.720 And so she was speaking.
01:05:56.360 They started making the rounds.
01:05:57.620 And then her campaign came out and said, those are fakes.
01:06:00.940 The flag was not upside down.
01:06:02.920 And so everybody corrected it, believed her and said, no, the flag was.
01:06:06.060 No, no, no.
01:06:07.360 Her video correcting the flag, that was the fake we now find out.
01:06:13.100 A twist on the AI deep fakes like you didn't see coming.
01:06:17.380 We'll talk about that and Ilhan Omar next.
01:06:21.120 Have you ever played that game with your family?
01:06:22.960 the one where you say, if we could go anywhere in the country, if we could live anywhere in the
01:06:26.860 world, where would we go? Maybe you'd like to live in the mountains or some little town where
01:06:31.680 everybody knows each other. Maybe a little town like that in the mountains. I don't know. Maybe
01:06:36.500 you'd be closer to your kids. It's kind of fun to imagine, but usually that's as far as it goes
01:06:40.260 because you're actually picking up your life and moving and it's hard. You got to figure out what
01:06:45.060 your current home is worth, find a new one, navigate real estate agents in different markets,
01:06:50.000 somehow or another coordinate the whole thing without losing your mind.
01:06:55.040 But what if we could make it a little bit easier for you?
01:06:57.900 That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust.
01:07:00.420 I wanted to help connect you with experienced real estate professionals
01:07:03.000 who know their local markets and can help you navigate the process.
01:07:06.140 If you say, hey, Glenn, I'm living here and we're moving there,
01:07:09.540 we can find the two agents and they'll even work together.
01:07:12.660 They'll help coordinate.
01:07:14.240 Please check out realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:07:17.180 We'll show you how you can sell or buy a home even in this tough market.
01:07:20.560 By the way, mortgage rates went down yesterday.

01:07:27.040 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:07:34.280 Earlier this week, Glenn listed 16 Trump campaign promises he kept all before the midterms.
01:07:39.660 You need to read this before you vote.
01:07:41.420 Check it out now at glennbeck.com.
01:07:47.180 uh welcome to the welcome to the program uh all right jason i want to bring you in here well
01:08:15.720 Well, first, let me finish this story about this fake flag controversy.
01:08:22.660 I don't know if you saw this, but Nafisa Fai, is it Fai?
01:08:29.380 Do you know?
01:08:30.020 Is it Foe?
01:08:30.540 Is it Fum?
01:08:31.000 I'm not sure.
01:08:32.380 But she's running for county chair in Washington County in Oregon at a campaign event in Minneapolis.
01:08:40.200 Now, why would you be in Minneapolis for a campaign event if you're running in Oregon?
01:08:45.040 Hmm.
01:08:45.320 I wonder.
01:08:45.720 so she's speaking you know in somali uh to a group of supporters do we have the video or is
01:08:54.700 it just a picture so she's speaking and she's speaking in front of an american flag that is
01:08:59.320 actually upside down uh go ahead and i think the people of color right on
01:09:06.360 stop so she has a problem with ceos that are people of color who lawn mow i think i don't
01:09:32.120 know. It's weird that they don't have a translation for those things. But anyway, so she's talking to
01:09:37.560 these Somalis and God's saying God only knows what. And she's standing there and she's standing
01:09:43.700 right in front of a flag that is upside down. Now, I think it is a possibility. I'm not being cute
01:09:49.600 here. I think there's a possibility that the Somalis had no idea that the flag was upside down.
01:09:55.280 it is a very real would you know if the somali flag was upside down i wouldn't know but i wouldn't
01:10:02.460 be running for office in somalia so what do i know um you know and if you you know if you're
01:10:10.500 in the somali community and they gave you millions of dollars that you're sending back you could at 0.86
01:10:14.560 least go yeah i don't really like the country but let's hang the flag right anyway i think it was 0.98
01:10:20.420 intentionally done it's a flag upside down you fly a flag upside down it means the country is 1.00
01:10:26.460 in distress I don't know why Somalis would say that our country is in distress when they're 1.00
01:10:30.920 trying to light it on fire themselves so I don't understand it but anyway so she comes out and 1.00
01:10:37.860 when this starts circulating people like look at the flag it's upside down her office comes out
01:10:43.440 and says no that's not true that's a deep fake so she's they're filming it the clip goes everywhere
01:10:52.500 no no no the flag was not upside down deep fake she posts an article from a local outlet the
01:11:02.000 oregon journalism project that called the footage a deep fake and the article showed a picture of
01:11:08.020 her standing next to a flag flying the right way she said this is how peep this is how ai is being
01:11:13.680 used to destroy people's reputation then axios picks it up a national newsroom it reported that
01:11:21.120 the team had provided screenshots showing the flag right side up so then her team takes that and
01:11:27.440 shows that no this is her right here i've got screenshots of her right here okay turns it into
01:11:34.380 a story warning about the attack ads that put words in candidates mouths and create scenes that
01:11:39.440 never happen oh my gosh ai and these people on the right are so evil they're warning about the
01:11:44.860 danger you have to be you have to be sure of what is fake and what is real except they were wrong
01:11:52.500 about which picture was fake the video was real the proof is believed to have been made by a
01:12:02.480 machine. So ordinary people noticed something, you know, that others didn't, that the Somali logo,
01:12:11.180 the TV logo was missing and that the stars were in the wrong place. And the banner didn't,
01:12:18.560 with her name, didn't match. And then they started looking and they flagged a hidden watermark,
01:12:25.180 the kind Google stamps in images that its AI creates. Okay. Then they started noticing,
01:12:30.940 wait a minute, down at the bottom, there are stripes from the upside-down flag
01:12:36.360 and not from the right-side-up flag.
01:12:38.320 The stripes were wrong at the very bottom.
01:12:41.060 So the Oregon Journalism Project goes back and gets more images from that room in Minneapolis.
01:12:47.080 And they're like, I guess it was upside-down.
01:12:53.060 It also said where its original proof came from, the campaign.
01:12:58.440 so it pulls the story axios pulls its story too now for years we have been warned that ai will
01:13:07.760 make fake things look real that's true but it's only half the danger and maybe the smaller half
01:13:14.540 the other half lets you call real things fake
01:13:19.220 two law professors gave this a name years ago they called it the liar's dividend
01:13:27.540 once every once everyone knows video can be faked every guilty person ever caught on video gets a
01:13:35.340 free escape hatch you don't have to prove you didn't do it you just have to say take that liar's
01:13:41.540 escape hatch it's ai that's what she did think of the kid with a hand in the cookie jar for
01:13:48.460 generations the camera ended that now the kid looks at the footage and says that's a deep fake
01:13:54.940 That's not me.
01:13:55.800 That's a deep fake.
01:13:56.800 And half the house believes him because half the house wants to believe him.
01:14:04.220 Here's a kid that didn't just deny it.
01:14:07.520 Somebody on her side handed over a picture of a full cookie jar.
01:14:12.980 And then the grown-ups whose job it is to check the jars put a stamp on it.
01:14:17.920 On one side, a broadcaster's footage.
01:14:20.440 On the other, a campaign screenshot.
01:14:22.380 and the people who call themselves fact checkers
01:14:25.240 took the campaign's word.
01:14:27.440 Nobody asked why the logo was gone
01:14:29.560 because the story fit what they already believed.
01:14:35.880 AI is a weapon.
01:14:38.620 And this time they aimed it at people like you and me.
01:14:46.400 They made us question our sanity.
01:14:48.960 now i can't tell you what that flag upside down means to her it's a distress signal maybe she
01:14:55.660 has an explanation but she should be asked for it but it never happened is not an explanation
01:15:03.280 that's a cover story who made the image who handed that image to the reporter
01:15:09.460 will the campaign take back the word deep fake will it apologize to everyone it accused of
01:15:16.140 faking a real video. Will the correction travel as far as the false fact check did? It won't.
01:15:24.360 The debunk gets shared by people who feel smart. The correction gets read by people who already
01:15:30.200 knew. So both outlets did pull their stories, and that matters. And it wasn't an agency or a board
01:15:39.720 that caught this. It was regular people who looked closely, who counted the stars, and noticed this
01:15:44.680 missing logo. That's an immune system. That's an immune system that is very healthy and one
01:15:51.300 day want to stomp out. It's the immune system of the country. You, the average person.
01:15:59.500 And I want you to know, I'm not going to give our side a pass.
01:16:03.520 I mean, most of us have at one point on all sides shared a picture that flattered us
01:16:08.520 before we checked it. The liar's dividend pays whoever wants it most. It doesn't check your
01:16:16.340 party. You know, I was looking up things in history that have happened before, and believe
01:16:26.040 it or not, it's about a pelt. A pelt comes into England from Australia, and it has a duck's bill
01:16:36.960 and a beaver's tail and webbed feet.
01:16:40.280 And a naturalist, one of the leading naturalists at the British Museum,
01:16:44.080 was like, somebody's playing a joke on us.
01:16:45.760 This isn't true.
01:16:47.440 And so the story goes that he took scissors to it,
01:16:51.500 hunting for the stitches.
01:16:54.180 But he couldn't find any stitches.
01:16:55.980 But he discredited it anyway.
01:16:59.140 But there weren't any stitches because it's something
01:17:01.300 that he had never seen called a platypus.
01:17:04.260 The expert looked at something real and called it a hoax.
01:17:07.780 This week, the experts did one better.
01:17:11.260 They doubted the real thing and certified the fake.
01:17:18.120 So what do you do when your eyes can be lied to
01:17:22.440 and the people paid to check either fall for it or lie to you as well?
01:17:30.000 You do the one thing that the people online did.
01:17:32.820 you slow down, you look for what a faker forgets, the logo, the second camera, the people who were
01:17:41.480 in the room. Ask where a picture came from, but before you ask what it shows, that's when you ask.
01:17:50.400 Don't say, hey, what does your picture show? Can you send that to me? No. Can you send me your
01:17:55.740 picture. When someone caught on tape answers with AI, treat that at the beginning of the story,
01:18:04.720 not the end of the story. Pictures used to be a witness. Now it's just a claim.
01:18:09.800 So we're back to where human beings were when we started
01:18:14.820 with people who are actually there, who will say so and can't be generated.
01:18:23.220 when anything can be faked the truth needs to be the witness the truth does the people who
01:18:33.420 stood there need to be the witness not just the pictures be a witness of what you're actually
01:18:39.420 seeing because this is getting crazy i mean we also found out yesterday that there was a poll
01:18:46.360 that was faked faked now they say it was a science experiment was it was it a science experiment
01:18:52.340 Really?
01:18:52.860 Because I'm not going to take your word that it was a science experiment.
01:18:55.720 They faked a poll, and it was actually the one that caused the person
01:19:00.420 that was running against El Saeed to drop out of the race
01:19:03.080 because she said that poll came out and all my money dried up,
01:19:06.400 and it went everywhere.
01:19:09.300 So was that a science experiment, or was that the left messing with elections?
01:19:16.060 Which was it?
01:19:17.640 I don't have the answer, but we damn well better not take the answer
01:19:21.220 from the people who just said,
01:19:22.780 oh, no, no, no, that was a science experiment.
01:19:24.560 That was a social experiment
01:19:25.560 to see if a fake poll could get picked up everywhere.
01:19:29.160 Really?
01:19:37.840 Because once these lies take root,
01:19:40.580 then everybody's vested in them.
01:19:43.260 Ilhan Omar is one of these,
01:19:44.620 and I want to go to Jason on this.
01:19:46.520 Let me do a commercial.
01:19:47.500 I'm going to come back.
01:19:48.000 I want Jason to explain the latest with Ilhan.
01:19:51.220 Because the press has no reason to debunk this now.
01:19:55.720 They have no reason to say, oh, we were wrong.
01:19:58.300 They have every reason to say, no, no, no, and keep defending her.
01:20:02.940 But there's some new information out on that, and we're going to get to it next.
01:20:06.160 First, LifeLock.
01:20:07.360 An obituary is supposed to be a tribute to somebody's life.
01:20:09.740 It tells you who they were, who they loved, and what they left behind.
01:20:12.500 But there are people out there who look at that same obituary and see something entirely different.
01:20:18.240 Scammers are now using artificial intelligence to research older Americans, including scouring
01:20:23.700 obituaries for information about grieving families.
01:20:26.040 And they use that information to create, you know, convincing messages.
01:20:30.920 And AI allows them to make thousands of calls at once.
01:20:34.640 Please talk to your parents and your grandparents about this.
01:20:37.740 If you get an unusual call or a message, encourage them to stop and verify it through a trusted
01:20:42.900 source.
01:20:43.840 Watch for suspicious transactions.

01:21:38.220 Glenn Beck will be right back.
01:21:40.140 Okay, so
01:22:05.600 Ilhan Omar
01:22:07.040 was describing the raid on her home.
01:22:11.880 They went room for room.
01:22:13.040 They took her daughter's phone, everything else.
01:22:15.400 And then she has a response.
01:22:16.660 I'm not going to spend a minute playing this back.
01:22:19.440 She's on an interview with MS now.
01:22:21.560 And they're like, so did you ever marry your brother?
01:22:24.560 Is there any truth to that?
01:22:25.880 And she says, not to my knowledge.
01:22:29.220 Now, you could say she was joking.
01:22:31.580 or you could say yeah let's not put out any lies out there right now let's not make things worse
01:22:38.860 not to my knowledge is a good answer and you make it look like it's a joke um but whatever it is
01:22:45.820 there's new information jason what do we have so court docs uh surrounding the search warrant
01:22:53.100 have now been made public and this is coming from the attorney's office from the uh district court
01:22:58.640 for the District of Columbia.
01:23:01.020 And normally on this, you would think,
01:23:03.000 okay, you know, subject named Ilhan Omar,
01:23:05.940 but that name is there, but as a also known as.
01:23:11.620 So how they actually identify her
01:23:13.880 in official U.S. court documents
01:23:16.500 in the District of Columbia
01:23:17.460 is Congresswoman Ilhan Noor Saeed Elmi,
01:23:25.340 not Omar, Elmi.
01:23:27.220 done done done done done if they are officially recognizing her in a court document that a judge
01:23:36.320 signed off on as that's not her married name that is her birth name she changed that when she came
01:23:46.400 here to america her father never changed it her sister never changed it she changed it uh and if
01:23:53.380 that's how they're referring to her that's the name of her quote husband brother is there is
01:24:02.040 there anything uh dna because i've heard talk that she is concerned about dna well there was a report
01:24:09.480 uh coming from the new york post a few days ago that i reported that uh federal investigations
01:24:15.100 federal investigators have dna evidence um it could prove ilan omar what her brother that that
01:24:20.880 That was hinted at in this article, but not entirely sure exactly what the details are on that.
01:24:26.020 But they do have DNA evidence as reported.
01:24:28.080 You know, I hope they do, you know, because that's the easiest way to prove or disprove.
01:24:35.020 I've got DNA.
01:24:35.840 I checked the DNA against your husband.
01:24:37.880 I checked the DNA against you and you're a match.
01:24:41.100 Sorry.
01:24:41.460 We're not in the O.J. Simpson days anymore.
01:24:44.300 And if I were Elon Omar, I would say I want my so-called brother to give his DNA.
01:24:49.500 You match the two.
01:24:50.880 that's what i would do i could make this thing go away right now go ahead take my you know i said
01:24:58.060 if people said tanya is your sister take her dna take my dna right now take it we'll end this
01:25:05.460 nonsense she's never ever going to do that never i hope they do have dna because it will be
01:25:11.860 rock solid evidence and this nightmare will be over one way or another end it all right more in a 0.87
01:25:18.460 minute. Here's something I want you to hear. It's Medicare open enrollment. Yay! The only time of
01:25:36.720 year where you can make changes to your Medicare plan. But I have some bad news. I've just been
01:25:40.920 looking at some research and this is amazing. It shows that only one in 10 Americans are on the
01:25:44.980 right plan for their needs. And it's worse than that. The average person was overspending more
01:25:50.180 than a thousand dollars a year and one in 10 are spending $2,000 more than necessary. And they have
01:25:55.980 no idea. This could be you. The system is so confusing. It's easy to pay too much and never
01:26:01.520 know it. But right now, Medicare open enrollment, the one window every year where you can fix it.
01:26:07.360 That's why I want you to fix it now with chapter, the only Medicare advisors that I trust. So
01:26:11.620 dial pound 250 and say the keyword chapter couple from my audience uh tamra and dean they called
01:26:17.280 chapter they're saving almost three thousand dollars this year the call is free takes 20
01:26:21.900 minutes maybe dial pound 250 say the keyword chapter act now before you're left overpaying
01:26:27.360 or on the wrong coverage for another year pound 250 chapter
01:26:31.580 We'll be right back.
01:27:01.580 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
01:27:19.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:27:27.000 Hello, America.
01:27:28.700 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:27:31.580 We've got a lot to talk to you about.
01:27:33.080 We've covered Elon, Elon, Elon.
01:27:37.700 Everybody seems to be going to jail today.
01:27:41.360 There was an arrest of yet another Democrat.
01:27:46.600 This time the DOJ went after a Democrat in Virginia.
01:27:51.500 We'll give you the update on that.
01:27:54.860 And I want to talk to you a little bit about socialists
01:27:57.060 because I think people are, I don't know who these socialists are.
01:28:05.280 At least that's how I think we feel.
01:28:09.140 Have you ever met one?
01:28:10.780 I've only met one on a college campus.
01:28:13.620 But have you ever met one?
01:28:15.620 What are they like?
01:28:16.680 Who are they?
01:28:17.400 How do they get there in this country?
01:28:21.600 Well, one way to get there is a lack of gratitude
01:28:25.240 and a lack of perspective on who we really are and what we have as a nation.
01:28:30.780 But I want to talk to you about these Marxist elites
01:28:33.100 and what you're actually dealing with in a way that I think all of us can understand.
01:28:37.960 We'll do that here in 60 seconds.
01:28:39.480 First, let me tell you about American financing.
01:28:41.360 Somewhere in America right now, there is a person who has never missed a credit card payment in his life.
01:28:45.400 And every time he pays a bill, he pays it on time.
01:28:48.300 He's responsible. He's done everything the banks have ever asked him to do.
01:28:51.200 and the banks love him because he's paying them a fortune in interest. You can be perfectly
01:28:57.720 responsible. You can make all of your payments and still find yourself in a situation where
01:29:01.880 you're barely making progress. And with today's interest rates, that is a real problem for a lot
01:29:07.360 of American families. If you own a home, I want to talk to you about American financing. They can
01:29:12.060 help you explore options for consolidating high interest debt, including potentially using the
01:29:17.500 equity in your home that you've built in your home. If you have a low interest mortgage, do not
01:29:23.300 give that up. But there are other options available to you. I want you to call and find out
01:29:28.040 how you can borrow against your home without resetting everything and what the terms are
01:29:33.700 and the risks. It's worth having a conversation with people who can walk you through the
01:29:38.320 possibilities. Call them today, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

01:29:48.980 Average savings based on borrowers who save up for $199.99.
01:29:51.320 So I want to base what I have to say on a monologue or an op-ed piece
01:29:58.120 that was at glennbeck.com earlier this week,
01:30:01.220 and it was made by Michaela,
01:30:03.480 who's absolutely one of my favorite people on earth.
01:30:07.740 She is so bright.
01:30:09.240 She is so – she's a really godly woman
01:30:12.440 and very, very smart and compassionate.
01:30:15.540 She's better than most of us combined, I think.
01:30:19.060 And here's her flaws.
01:30:20.160 She has a degree in acting, okay? 1.00
01:30:23.580 What a worthless. 1.00
01:30:24.780 So she has a degree in acting. 0.99
01:30:27.700 And she married a guy, and I'm not making this up, that went to clown school. 0.89
01:30:35.300 Now, the Harvard of clown schools, don't get me wrong, it's the Harvard of clown schools, but it's still a clown school, okay? 0.97
01:30:42.360 And she has played an angel and a Greek goddess and an astronaut's wife and all of the other crap that every, you know, every actor, you know, has ever played, okay? 0.98
01:30:54.140 She knows the arts.
01:30:56.160 And so she came to me and she's like, Glenn, I want to write an op-ed for glenbeck.com.
01:31:00.760 And I said, okay, what do you want to write about?
01:31:03.060 And she said, I recognize these democratic socialists.
01:31:06.480 And I recognize them in a way people, most people will miss.
01:31:11.220 So she did.
01:31:12.040 and I want you to go to glenbeck.com and read it.
01:31:14.600 Midterms are right around the corner.
01:31:16.480 DSA is on the rise.
01:31:18.060 Most of us are watching and go,
01:31:19.560 what are these people thinking?
01:31:21.800 Who votes for socialists?
01:31:25.060 And to answer that question,
01:31:28.000 let me take you back to the 2016
01:31:31.260 aspiring young rapper named Young Cardamom.
01:31:37.520 We now know him as Mayor Zoran Mamdani.
01:31:42.040 same year the same year a young woman from a middle-class family in lubbock texas
01:31:49.060 had just moved to new york to become a painter and she paid the rent working at taco bell and
01:31:56.020 trader joe's and pizza hut and today she's a state assembly woman and this summer she won
01:32:02.640 the democratic primary for congress with bernie sanders in her corner and a yale man who studied
01:32:09.740 literature and sculpture and was selling other people's art in a chelsea gallery you know one
01:32:15.140 of the nice chelsea galleries it's like the harvard of clown schools today he's the co-chair
01:32:21.020 of the new york city dsa drawing 95 000 a year plus benefits he lives in brooklyn in a townhouse
01:32:28.980 his parents bought and renovated worth about a million and a half bucks his father built a
01:32:34.740 construction business. And for years, his social media handle has been Union Gustavo. And his
01:32:42.380 profile says Union Electrician. But that's not really true. The electrician's union threw him
01:32:50.680 out of its apprenticeship for not showing up to work or to class. But his profile still says
01:32:56.800 Union Electrician. It's kind of like, I'm a doctor. I've never really actually seen a patient,
01:33:01.780 but I'm a doctor. I got the coat. So you have a rapper, the painter, and a sculptor.
01:33:09.800 That's the bench of the largest socialist organization in American history.
01:33:15.200 Now with more than 120,000 dues-paying members, this is the head of it.
01:33:23.040 So who are these people? Well, Nate Silver came out, and he had a great answer for it. He said,
01:33:28.860 highly educated and
01:33:30.640 downwardly mobile
01:33:32.020 you did everything you were told
01:33:37.020 they did everything
01:33:38.280 you went to a good school, you got good grades
01:33:41.160 you got a degree that your professors
01:33:43.040 told you would be as noble
01:33:45.180 as medicine
01:33:46.180 except it wasn't medicine
01:33:48.020 then you graduated and the engineering major
01:33:51.040 down the hall got a six figure offer
01:33:53.040 and you got an apron
01:33:54.040 at a place you didn't need to study to go work at
01:33:57.400 that hurts
01:33:59.540 the rent is real
01:34:01.840 the loans are real
01:34:03.420 now frying tacos is an honest
01:34:06.500 work you know that nobody should
01:34:08.520 ever sneer at
01:34:09.920 but at the moment every young person
01:34:12.620 chooses between two conclusions
01:34:14.280 one is I need to find
01:34:16.500 something that's gonna
01:34:17.260 that will pay
01:34:19.080 the other is the system is rigged against the people
01:34:22.580 who see the world as it should
01:34:24.700 be and I'm one of those people
01:34:27.460 The second one feels better.
01:34:29.340 It does.
01:34:30.740 It turns your disappointment into a cause.
01:34:34.020 I don't have to change.
01:34:35.560 The world has to change.
01:34:36.920 Come on, let's all change it together.
01:34:39.740 And believe me, drama people are full of drama.
01:34:43.960 Now comes the second problem.
01:34:46.460 The circle's where these people live.
01:34:49.980 Privilege is the worst thing you can have.
01:34:52.880 and many of these aspiring artists turned dsa leaders have privilege i was taking tap when i
01:35:01.380 was five i took piano and voice and summer programs and i had a mom who drove me to every
01:35:07.520 audition and a dad who paid for the fine arts degree it was the bravest thing i've ever done
01:35:12.260 in the article michaela says plainly outside of rare cases the arts are not a poor kid's game
01:35:22.800 true it's absolutely true and nobody wants to be a starving artist nobody does
01:35:29.660 so what do you do with a rich father in a room where rich fathers are the villain
01:35:35.680 well you have a couple of choices you can confess it or you can put on a costume
01:35:44.200 a hard hat a union card the name of a trade you never finished i'm a union electrician
01:35:52.600 are you you sound like a kid who grew up with privilege that didn't want to do any work
01:35:59.220 whatsoever and now you're hiding behind that and the artists you know the art world very good at
01:36:06.740 costumes they get it they're very good at acting good at getting attention making a room uh feel
01:36:14.540 something, anything, taking that applause, taking that bow. That is the job. On a stage, it's a
01:36:23.620 gift. In politics, it's the audience getting played. Now, don't get me wrong. We run a
01:36:32.600 costume shop too. I mean, I have brand new Carhartt clothing up at my ranch. I've never
01:36:41.440 mend a defense. Never, never done it. I mean, I drive my pickup truck because I like it,
01:36:48.840 not because I have to. I have people that run my ranch. I'm not going anywhere near the pregnancy
01:36:55.140 check for my cattle. I'm not sticking my arm up there. I'm not doing it. Okay. Same shop,
01:37:00.760 different rack. We all wear costumes from time to time. Okay. But this is dangerous because let
01:37:06.600 me take you back to russia summer of 1874 thousands of university students many of them sons and
01:37:13.900 daughters of the landowners and the officials and uh you know and the czars and all of these people
01:37:21.460 they've got diamonds and fabergé eggs and they decide the revolution is going to come for the
01:37:27.500 peasants all somebody has to do is go out and get the villages to wake them up so they put costumes
01:37:34.760 on rough peasant shirts bark shoes not making that up bark shoes some of them learn to cobble
01:37:43.640 boots or saw lumber so they'll have a trade to hide behind no i'm just like you they called it
01:37:50.820 going out to the people and they walk out into the countryside carrying pamphlets to explain how
01:37:56.240 the peasants are being so badly cheated and the peasants look at them and then the stories say
01:38:03.960 They looked at their hands, and they realized, you're a total fraud.
01:38:08.080 You speak like the city. 0.93
01:38:09.820 You don't have a single callus on a single hand.
01:38:13.980 And they were explaining to the village men who had never left it.
01:38:18.420 Oh, no, this is what's happening.
01:38:19.540 And the village men are looking at it like, you're not a peasant, okay?
01:38:24.800 And the peasant quietly listened, politely.
01:38:28.380 Then they walked down the road and turned them into the police.
01:38:31.300 more than a thousand of these frauds were arrested. One trial alone had nearly 200 defendants.
01:38:39.340 Now, the students didn't go home and rethink anything. Some of them decided that if the
01:38:46.620 people wouldn't be persuaded, then the people would have to be acted for. And so they stopped
01:38:52.800 printing pamphlets and started bombing buildings, okay? They started building bombs and setting
01:38:59.960 them off 1881 they killed the czar not just any czar the one who had 20 for 20 years had freed
01:39:09.240 the serfs they murdered the man who freed the peasants in the name of the peasants because
01:39:16.800 the peasants wouldn't follow them see this is where the costume goes when the audience stops
01:39:23.600 clapping not to humility to contempt and the audience is about to stop clapping for these
01:39:29.080 people because it's going to figure it out it's only a matter of time if the working man won't 1.00
01:39:35.120 believe you then he has to be stupid or brainwashed or voting against his own interests or uh a traitor 1.00
01:39:43.660 to his own race you've heard the phrase over and over again that we're living in 1874 podcast right 1.00
01:39:50.920 now that's what's happening think about the electrician who didn't finish the apprenticeship
01:39:56.980 five and a half years up before dawn night classes after a full job you know on a bad job site a bad
01:40:06.380 shoulder by 40 he he's the man the costume was borrowed from and is now sitting on that guy that
01:40:16.460 never did anything think about the woman who is still you know working the friar at 45 long after
01:40:23.080 the painter pass through on her way to congress they don't need somebody to play them do you do
01:40:29.320 you know the story of um marie antoinette do you know why the french people were so angry at her
01:40:40.240 it's not the cake thing let them eat cake that probably was never even said and if it was it
01:40:46.840 It wasn't like, we'll let them eat cake.
01:40:49.500 It was, in her world, cake was so plentiful.
01:40:53.340 Well, there's plenty of cake.
01:40:55.020 If they don't have bread, why don't they just have cake?
01:40:57.140 There's always cake around.
01:40:58.500 That phrase was more about her just being so out of touch.
01:41:02.300 But do you know who she was?
01:41:04.900 Do you know that by the time of the revolution came, she wasn't even living in the palace?
01:41:09.020 She was so sickened by the palace.
01:41:11.580 She was so disgusted by living that life.
01:41:15.620 and she couldn't go anywhere
01:41:17.440 because she was the queen.
01:41:19.180 So she had to live at Versailles, 0.99
01:41:21.760 but she lived like,
01:41:23.740 I think it was like a mile away.
01:41:25.160 I mean, I just, I was just there.
01:41:26.640 It's astounding that more people don't know this. 0.61
01:41:29.960 She actually built a second palace
01:41:32.660 on the site of Versailles
01:41:35.660 and she was living there 0.96
01:41:37.620 and all of the elites were pissed at her 0.66
01:41:40.220 because why? 0.89
01:41:42.040 She's living at this palace 0.74
01:41:43.480 that she had all of this wood brought in and all of this stuff brought in she built it to look like 0.99
01:41:49.260 a peasant's town and then she had clothing made to make her look like a peasant even though she 0.61
01:41:57.080 wasn't a peasant and she wasn't living a peasant's life and she was she would go out and she'd milk
01:42:01.820 the cow and she was living the life of a regular everyday person but it wasn't an everyday person
01:42:07.460 And so when the people finally stormed the gates of Versailles and saw that,
01:42:11.620 they hated her because they're like, look, she's mocking us.
01:42:18.940 That's what's coming, gang.
01:42:20.860 You are living the life of Marie Antoinette.
01:42:23.900 You're dressing up as a union worker, and you're not a union worker.
01:42:28.500 And when the people find out who you are, they're not going to be happy.
01:42:37.660 These people just need somebody to hear them.
01:42:40.560 And when you ask them what they want, they rarely say abolish the Senate or public ownership of large corporations.
01:42:48.120 They're starting to.
01:42:49.760 They'll just say instead, I want people to lower the rent.
01:42:54.760 I want somebody to leave my paycheck alone.
01:42:57.520 I want my kids to do better than me.
01:42:59.940 the last the last one is a tell because people in costumes are the kids who did not do better
01:43:09.560 than their parents and they decided that it was everybody else's fault that they didn't do better
01:43:15.140 than their parents so what do you take out of this let me tell you in 60 seconds first we're
01:43:21.520 approaching a moment in history that you know if you if you uh if you don't believe most people
01:43:27.080 I mean, if you believe most people, I think most people have not fully considered this fact.
01:43:32.760 Very soon, there's not going to be anyone left who can tell us from personal experience what it was like to survive the Holocaust.
01:43:39.800 For 80 years, we've had living witnesses to one of the darkest chapters in human history, people who lost their families, their homes, almost everything they knew. 0.52
01:43:48.080 And now those survivors in their 90s, some are living alone, struggling to afford food and medicine.
01:43:53.460 and they've already endured more than any of us can imagine.
01:43:56.100 And when they have their final years, when they're gone,
01:44:01.300 now this is when the real monsters can come out and say,
01:44:04.220 no, it never happened, because no one's around with a number on their arm. 0.99
01:44:08.300 This is why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
01:44:10.860 is providing food and essential assistance to vulnerable Jewish people,
01:44:14.220 including Holocaust survivors, because we care.
01:44:17.000 We don't want those people being alone.
01:44:19.780 That's why I'm excited about their Flags of Fellowship movement,
01:44:22.760 because the flags represent something the Jewish people were denied 80 years ago,
01:44:26.780 the assurance that they are not alone.
01:44:29.540 These flags are a visible declaration that Christians around the world
01:44:32.820 are continuing to stand with the Jewish people.
01:44:35.820 That's rare. 1.00
01:44:37.660 Will you be one of those people?
01:44:38.860 Are you brave enough to just display a Jewish flag, an Israeli flag? 0.54
01:44:44.320 Or is that too much to ask?
01:44:46.200 Because if that's too hard, wow, the future is only going to be harder.

01:44:57.640 10 seconds, Station ID.
01:45:11.520 So here's what you get.
01:45:13.500 I think what we should take from this story.
01:45:15.900 And you can read this whole article at glenbeck.com.
01:45:18.200 But in your own life, whether you're 18 or 80, you can wear somebody else's clothing, but you can't wear their calluses.
01:45:37.880 If you really want to do something great with your life, go earn your calluses.
01:45:42.280 Go get your own. Earn them.
01:45:44.320 If you're one of the young people with a degree and the apron and the anger, I'm not laughing at you.
01:45:52.900 I'm not.
01:45:53.520 I never finished college.
01:45:56.400 I know what it's like to feel behind.
01:46:00.440 But the way out has never been to wear a costume or anger or violence.
01:46:05.460 It never has been.
01:46:06.860 It has always been the work.
01:46:10.840 The something that no one can take from you.
01:46:14.320 And nobody can fake it for you.
01:46:19.400 The work is everything.
01:46:22.060 You know, FDR, he knew that this welfare state was bad.
01:46:26.200 He called it workfare.
01:46:27.580 You had to work to get the government to support you.
01:46:31.140 Do you know why?
01:46:32.060 Because he said the minute you take work away from people, they lose their own self-respect.
01:46:37.760 And that's what's happening.
01:46:38.780 So many people are on the dole that they don't have respect for themselves.
01:46:42.780 You know, the fastest way to wreck a child, if you're wealthy, the fastest way to wreck them is to give them everything.
01:46:50.820 You know what happens?
01:46:52.500 The strangest things.
01:46:53.700 Your parents give you everything.
01:46:55.740 You end up resenting them.
01:46:58.500 That's a fact.
01:46:59.320 Look it up.
01:47:00.900 Oh, my God.
01:47:01.280 I sounded like Joe Biden there for a second.
01:47:04.060 Anyway, Michaela ends the piece by saying they expect you to sit in the audience and clap.
01:47:11.220 The Russian peasant in 1874 had no vote, no newspaper, no degree.
01:47:17.760 He had one thing.
01:47:19.100 He knew what work looked like.
01:47:22.800 So do you.
01:47:25.180 Don't clap.
01:47:28.000 Look at their hands.
01:47:30.200 Are they soft and supple and look like they've never worked a day in their life?
01:47:35.880 Yeah.
01:47:36.540 then maybe maybe when they put on the union label they don't have an idea at all of what
01:47:45.780 they're talking about and they cannot relate to being you and help you get out from the man
01:47:53.200 because they are the man in disguise all right final half hour of the program coming up next
01:47:59.720 human beings have this wonderful concept called retirement you work hard for 40 or 50 years
01:48:12.680 eventually you get to slow down relax maybe take up golf spend the rest of your life complaining
01:48:17.480 about how much everything costs you know but your dog's never heard of retirement you know there's
01:48:21.600 one word in hebrew that doesn't exist it is exists in english and other languages but not in hebrew
01:48:27.800 retirement there's no there's in god's language there is you're you're working till you die
01:48:33.720 one way or another you're serving until you die you know the the but the dog i mean they have
01:48:41.440 the squirrel it's been trespassing on the property for six years still at large you know lots of
01:48:45.920 things your dog gets older the body may not be quite as enthusiastic about the responsibility

01:49:27.920 you know I want to
01:49:54.720 play something um that i just think is is so amazing we're just talking about electricians
01:50:01.900 and you know the left is talking right now about how we've just got to get rid of elon musk we've
01:50:08.340 got to put him in jail he's going to be in jail and they mean it they will put that guy in jail
01:50:13.320 and to me elon musk is the quintessential example of the american we would all want to be
01:50:21.940 you know that we are inventors we're explorers we're doing things that just nobody had even
01:50:28.240 thought of and we're doing it with high high quality and with integrity as well and then
01:50:34.820 you know don't you kind of want to be like you know Tony Stark in a way if you were a billionaire
01:50:42.620 wouldn't you want to be kind of like Tony Stark uh and you know just do these crazy things you
01:50:47.480 want. And then he's giving, what is it, $10 billion to the Trump accounts for the future
01:50:53.580 of America, putting his stock right into kids he doesn't know, right into their portfolio.
01:51:01.820 He's putting Tesla, SpaceX stock in there, $10 billion worth. That's a great thing.
01:51:07.780 But he's also creating jobs. Listen to this. This is cut eight. These are electricians
01:51:13.980 who are now coming out in Memphis talking about the data centers with SpaceX.
01:51:20.700 Listen to this.
01:51:21.580 There are so many people here today, but they're actually not from Memphis.
01:51:26.520 I'm going to give you a look into that right now.
01:51:29.280 Dallas-Fort Worth.
01:51:31.220 Orlando, Florida.
01:51:32.700 Augusta, Georgia.
01:51:34.680 St. Petersburg, Florida.
01:51:36.520 And the reason they're here today is data centers.
01:51:40.220 Tell Elon Musk to stay.
01:51:42.220 We love this money you're giving us, man.
01:51:43.680 Those aren't words heard too often in Memphis, where the debate over a data center moratorium remains one of the most heated in the city.
01:51:51.860 But for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, data centers mean dollar signs.
01:51:57.160 We haven't had this much work and money in a while, so to be down in the South and to get this much money is a big thing for the union, a big thing for us.
01:52:03.880 We're talking over $8,000 a week.
01:52:06.740 At least that's what electricians at IBEW's Midtown office tell me, and it explains why they're coming from all over.
01:52:14.020 I'm from IBEW Local 369, Louisville, Kentucky.
01:52:17.280 I'm out of Local 446, Monroe, Louisiana.
01:52:19.740 We left Boise. I had a whole three days. It took us three days to get here. We just got here. I slept in the parking lot. We made it here, what, 10 o'clock last night. It was already packed, so.
01:52:29.500 And for those wondering, well, what about local workers? These electricians explain to me that locals get first call.
01:52:36.280 If the people that's here want the job, they go first.
01:52:39.720 And, you know, we come from other places and we'd be on book two.
01:52:42.860 And that's how we get the job.
01:52:44.900 This is the gold rush.
01:52:46.820 I'm sorry, but the data centers are the gold rush of today.
01:52:50.580 And nobody's looking at this.
01:52:52.120 The jobs that it is creating, all of the factories that are being built beyond the data centers,
01:52:58.420 all those things that are coming down the horizon, it's not just going to be factory workers down the road.
01:53:03.400 It's the building of these factories.
01:53:06.280 It's the rebuilding of our infrastructure that is really on the horizon
01:53:10.680 that I find exciting that nobody's really paying attention to,
01:53:14.040 but maybe that's just me.
01:53:16.000 Now, you have that, or you can complain about people like Elon Musk.
01:53:23.380 You could take, I mean, one of the things that the left is trying to do
01:53:27.340 is make you hate corporations.
01:53:29.280 Listen to this.
01:53:30.060 Here's commies, you know, a montage from all of the media saying about corporate greed.
01:53:37.280 Listen to this.
01:53:38.040 Stickers bar, they did a thing, and it's like 20% less for the same price.
01:53:42.280 That's corporate greed.
01:53:44.300 There's a real distinction to be made between inflation and price gouging.
01:53:49.420 A lot of these price increases are potentially due to just straight price gouging by corporations.
01:53:55.040 Some stores are even using dynamic pricing, jacking up the cost over the course of a day, depending on what they can get away with.
01:54:01.100 We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores, whose mission is lower prices, not price gouging.
01:54:09.220 Price of grocery is still too high. I get it.
01:54:11.780 Which is why I have a plan that is about bringing down the cost of groceries, including going after corporate price gouging.
01:54:17.920 Everybody goes to the grocery store. They don't want to get ripped off at the grocery store.
01:54:21.400 so yeah absolutely we can't take anymore you get the point i can't take anymore
01:54:25.940 corporate greed corporate it was because they inflated our money and there was 22 percent 0.99
01:54:31.720 inflation that never is going to go away once you start to inflate money unless you suck that
01:54:37.380 money back with jacked high interest rates you're not going to get that inflation to go away
01:54:42.400 so but if you ask any socialist candidate in america why are my groceries so but they tell
01:54:49.000 you that same answer every time. Corporate greed, corporate greed, the big companies have gouging
01:54:53.960 you. Look, I have to tell you, if they, if, you know, the dynamic pricing, that is real and that
01:55:00.680 is awful. But I don't understand why the socialists against it, because the people who will pay more
01:55:06.900 are the people who have more. I mean, that's progressive, isn't it? But their cure always is
01:55:14.200 to sell you more government. In New York, the mayor's planning the city-owned grocery stores
01:55:19.180 30% discount on a basket of basics.
01:55:22.360 You're not going to see that grocery store in a couple of years.
01:55:25.120 If you're 22, you just paid $6 for a dozen eggs and $12 for a burger.
01:55:30.820 And that doesn't feel right.
01:55:32.020 I'm sorry, it doesn't.
01:55:33.000 Every time I go through a drive-thru, I'm like, this is insane.
01:55:37.480 This is insane.
01:55:39.240 So somebody's getting rich, and it's not me, right?
01:55:42.400 So let's test it, honestly.
01:55:45.100 This is what you need to say to your socialist friends.
01:55:47.140 were the corporations greedy in 2015 of course they were 2016 yes 2017 18 19 of course every
01:55:56.760 year they're greedy right companies have always wanted the highest price they can get that's not
01:56:01.360 a secret that's called business all right so in all of those years inflation stayed low at two
01:56:09.600 percent or less then in 2021 the prices exploded the same time the worst inflation in 40 years
01:56:18.040 so here's a question anybody who says it's greed if greed never changed never changed and always
01:56:24.920 is the same how do you explain the prices being under control until inflation kicks in you know
01:56:33.420 when your car suddenly suddenly starts smoking you're not blaming gravity gravity was there
01:56:39.160 yesterday you look for what's different and here's what's different in february of 2020 the total
01:56:47.040 amount of money sloshing around the american economy in what economists call the m2 money
01:56:52.180 supply trust me you don't want to go down this road i did this for over a year to learn all this
01:56:57.480 stuff so you don't have to but it's the m2 money supply that's about 15 and a half trillion dollars
01:57:05.020 that means all the cash that is out two years later it was 21.8 trillion dollars that's a 40
01:57:14.940 percent jump in two years more than six trillion new dollars printed in two years at the same time
01:57:22.820 the Federal Reserve more than doubled the size of its balance sheet, from about $4 trillion to
01:57:28.720 $9 trillion. They bought up all of our government debt and mortgages with money that did not exist
01:57:34.940 the day before. And then Congress started mailing checks, three rounds of them, $1,200, then $600,
01:57:41.720 then $1,400 per person. According to the IRS, about $814 billion went out in those payments
01:57:50.320 alone. So almost a trillion dollars. This is not a one-party story. This is not a story of greed.
01:57:58.420 This is a story of politicians. The first rounds of checks were signed by Donald Trump. The third,
01:58:05.620 Joe Biden. Both parties voted for the spending. Both parties cheered. The Fed doesn't belong to
01:58:10.540 either one of those parties, but they're all in on it. If you're looking for a Republican villain
01:58:14.980 or a Democratic villain, you're going to find both the villains are living in Washington, D.C.
01:58:20.260 Everyone's a villain in this. And here's how it works. I want you to picture a small town for a
01:58:27.840 second, okay? Picture a small town, 100 families, one bakery, and every week the bakery makes a
01:58:35.480 thousand loaves of bread. On Monday, the government hands out a big fat check, but it doesn't hand
01:58:42.840 hand the baker a single extra bag of flour, okay?
01:58:48.580 In fact, half of his workers are stuck at home,
01:58:52.380 and his flour truck is sitting at the port.
01:58:56.160 But there's still only 1,000 loaves.
01:58:59.280 But now people have enough money to buy maybe two loaves of bread.
01:59:03.760 Some of them want four loaves of bread because they like bread.
01:59:06.720 What happens to the price of bread?
01:59:09.180 What happens?
01:59:10.620 You already know.
01:59:12.000 I mean, you don't have to think like a baker.
01:59:14.800 The baker didn't get greedier on Monday.
01:59:17.000 The town had more dollars chasing the same loaves of bread.
01:59:20.340 There was 1,000 loaves of bread.
01:59:22.020 The baker can't make any more.
01:59:23.860 Now people want four loaves of bread.
01:59:25.720 There was exactly one for every household.
01:59:28.260 There's not enough.
01:59:29.760 That's inflation.
01:59:31.020 More money, the same stuff.
01:59:32.620 Higher prices.
01:59:33.380 That's exactly what Washington built.
01:59:37.000 It shut down the bakeries and printed more money at the same time.
01:59:43.500 Were there other factories?
01:59:45.700 Yeah, yeah, there were.
01:59:47.340 Supply chains broke.
01:59:49.220 Energy spiked.
01:59:50.640 A war in Ukraine.
01:59:52.540 And did some of the countries in the chaos pad their margins?
01:59:56.200 Of course, some did.
01:59:57.360 Sure, they did.
01:59:57.920 But only a company, a company can only raise its prices and keep its customers when the customers have money to pay.
02:00:09.640 Who put money in their pockets?
02:00:12.540 You did.
02:00:14.560 I did.
02:00:17.240 Notice something about inflation.
02:00:20.180 It doesn't show up as a tax bill.
02:00:22.900 Nobody votes on it.
02:00:23.760 Your paycheck stays exactly the same, and your dollar buys less.
02:00:28.980 It is the one tax politicians never have to defend, but it is the most pernicious of taxes.
02:00:36.380 So, you know, when it hits, they point to the guy behind the counter, the grocery store guy.
02:00:42.480 He's the perfect scapegoat.
02:00:44.380 You see the price there.
02:00:45.820 You never see the printing press of the money.
02:00:47.820 You see the price.
02:00:49.080 He's got the smallest margin of anyone in your day.
02:00:53.760 now what do the socialists do about it they say we're going to control the prices
02:00:58.440 we're going to make the store charge less we're going to have the city run the store
02:01:04.360 holy cow is that a bad idea you know the america tried this once and it wasn't a socialist who did
02:01:11.160 it it was richard nixon in 1971 anybody who's a big fan of richard nixon now remember he's the
02:01:16.820 guy who froze wages and prices across the entire country because it was popular for a while and
02:01:23.580 Then the shelves started to empty out.
02:01:25.400 By 1973, feed for chickens cost more than farmers were allowed to charge for chickens.
02:01:32.480 So farmers drowned their baby chicks rather than raise them at a loss
02:01:37.600 because they couldn't feed them and stay afloat.
02:01:41.000 So they were drowning chickens.
02:01:43.360 Wait, what?
02:01:44.900 People watching it on the evening news.
02:01:47.120 The controls came off.
02:01:48.420 Inflation roared back worse than it was before.
02:01:51.180 The lesson isn't about one party.
02:01:53.580 Nixon was a Republican.
02:01:55.780 It's about when any politician promised us to make things cheaper by ordering it,
02:02:01.320 the thing doesn't get cheaper.
02:02:03.360 It gets scarce.
02:02:05.820 A low price on an empty shelf has never fed anyone. 0.99
02:02:11.680 Ask the people in Venezuela who are eating dogs.
02:02:16.040 A price is not a number somebody made up to hurt you.
02:02:20.100 A price is a message.
02:02:21.380 It tells the farmer, grow more.
02:02:24.560 It tells the trucker, this route is worth driving.
02:02:28.180 When you pay more at a gas station, what is it telling you?
02:02:31.360 It should tell you two things.
02:02:33.060 It tells you war is costing us, and we need more oil, and we need more refineries.
02:02:42.640 It's a message.
02:02:43.960 It's not a gouge.
02:02:45.000 It's a message.
02:02:46.700 It tells you maybe buy chicken this week instead of beef.
02:02:51.380 When the government forces the price down, it doesn't change the cost.
02:02:55.460 It cuts the phone line.
02:02:57.220 It cuts the message coming to you.
02:02:59.820 And when nobody can hear the message, nobody brings bread.
02:03:06.260 That's why the free market is not a better choice.
02:03:11.900 It's the only choice.
02:03:13.920 Not because businessmen are saints.
02:03:15.760 They're not.
02:03:17.460 But in a free market, a greedy grocer has a problem.
02:03:21.380 Because the grocer across the street, if one store is gouging you, the one across the street undercuts it and takes its customers.
02:03:31.400 Competition does what no regulator ever could.
02:03:35.500 It makes greed serve you, not them.
02:03:39.760 But when the city owns the grocery store, who's the competition?
02:03:43.940 And if it loses money on every gallon of milk, who covers the loss?
02:03:48.980 You do.
02:03:49.700 As the taxpayer.
02:03:50.940 You'll pay for that 30%.
02:03:52.680 You'll pay that 30%.
02:03:55.260 We're going to give you a discount.
02:03:56.500 No, you're not.
02:03:56.800 I'm going to pay for it in another way.
02:03:58.540 You just pay for it at a different counter.
02:04:02.280 So if you're thinking Marxism is great, you're not crazy.
02:04:07.640 Life did get really, really, really expensive fast.
02:04:13.020 But you're paying for a party that you weren't invited to.
02:04:16.480 But if you want to stop, aim at the right target.
02:04:20.580 Ask the candidate what he's going to do about the spending, not the store, the government spending.
02:04:27.500 And parents, next time your kids complain about a price, bring them back to the level of the local grocery store or the bakery.
02:04:34.840 They'll get it in 30 seconds.
02:04:36.580 Most of Congress doesn't get it today, but they will.
02:04:39.680 Because there's still a rule that will save you.
02:04:45.640 In your money and in your life, this is what saves you.
02:04:48.880 Before you blame the person in front of you,
02:04:50.820 find out who wrote the rules they're playing by.
02:04:53.900 The baker didn't print the money.
02:04:55.120 He just put the price on the bread.
02:04:58.620 Back in a minute.
02:05:01.160 You know, if you scratch the paint on your car, it stays scratched.
02:05:04.640 If you crack the screen on your phone, it doesn't grow a new screen.
02:05:08.140 You know, your refrigerator breaks down.
02:05:09.720 You can't stand there and encourage it all day long.
02:05:11.940 It's not going to fix itself.
02:05:13.160 But your body does something extraordinary.
02:05:15.840 You cut your finger and it begins repairing the damage.
02:05:18.300 You break a bone, and under the right conditions, it will heal all day long, all day long.
02:05:24.040 Without being aware of it, your body is maintaining and repairing itself in amazing ways.
02:05:29.140 Your body just needs a little support from time to time.
02:05:31.460 That's why I want you to know about Relief Factor.
