00:00:14.440You know, people don't even realize that they're getting half the story online.
00:00:18.900If you only read one version of events, even from people you generally agree with, you're still missing part of the picture.
00:00:24.800You're not finding the truth, the whole truth. You're finding their version of it.

00:01:58.020And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.
00:05:27.500Now, I want to start this out with I am a...
00:05:30.460I have warned about AI since the 1990s.
00:05:36.080And I said, you know, AI is going to be wonderful,
00:05:38.720and then we're going to get a GI, and that's going to be a little crazy.
00:05:42.840And then we'll get a SI, and that is terrifying, quite honestly, to me.
00:05:47.220A lot of times when I first started talking about it, people said, no, no, no, AGI is not even
00:05:53.460possible. And I think we're on the verge of AGI. So I have been warning about AI, but I also believe
00:06:00.340that AI is one of the greatest tools man has ever created. But we must always remember it is a tool.
00:06:08.260Now, to be able to have the compute power for these systems, we have to have data centers all
00:06:15.940over which means we have to have power uh and we also have to be willing to build the data centers
00:06:22.500not going to pay for them the companies that are all going to put us out of business and we'll all
00:06:26.840be we'll all be slaves to them eventually they have to pay for it um now as these data centers
00:06:32.880are being built there's a lot of people that say i don't want that in my community for several
00:06:38.620reasons i personally believe they have to be built where they're built is a different story
00:06:45.500What I don't like is the fact that in some places, it feels almost as if these big tech companies are coming in and they're just making a deal with the city council and you're not involved.
00:23:35.180So what do you do when somebody else is having the worst day of their life?
00:23:38.220you know most of us are not going to be you know doing anything heroic you and i are probably never
00:23:43.940going to run into a burning building or pull somebody out of a flooded river you know more
00:23:47.680often or not we're just given much much simpler opportunities to help those who need it but do we
00:23:53.760so i admire the people that are involved with the international fellowship of christians and jews
00:23:59.120they are they are uh the people when the world's attention comes and goes um they keep showing up
00:24:06.120They provide food to the hungry, shelter to the Jewish families who have lost their homes, care for the elderly, emergency assistance.
00:24:12.900You know, Scripture doesn't tell us to help people when it's convenient or when the cameras are watching.
00:24:17.940It calls us to love our neighbors in practical ways, even when we don't want to.
00:24:22.140As America continues celebrating its 250 years of independence, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews turns to God in prayer,
00:24:28.800asking that his wisdom will be guided, guiding the electorate officials and lead America and
00:24:34.880Israel toward moral clarity and unity. The USA-Israel flag pin is available today. Go online

00:27:57.820that the two chopper pilots that fell into the ocean and the chopper went down their lives were
00:28:07.780saved by a craft that had no one in it driven by an operator probably in Florida a young operator
00:28:19.620that was able to take that boat precisely to where their beacons said they were in the ocean
00:28:25.200pick them up and drive them back to safety of an aircraft carrier.
00:28:30.720Now, you want that for our service, men and women.

00:36:45.120trying to set the record straight uh on the box elder county utah data center i don't know
00:36:51.860if i'd love to hear from the insiders i'd love to hear from you if you have more questions
00:36:56.260we'll get them to kevin um but uh i i i think that was helpful but i don't know if it answered
00:37:02.800all of the questions uh i don't know if you can because i personally and this is a bad thing when
00:37:10.860you're trying to do when you have to do business when you have to do um when you have to make
00:37:17.980decisions i have a daughter who is just the smartest girl um and she uh she speaks a different
00:37:30.400language kind of and um she was struggling with something i think was on ai and she said dad this
00:37:36.740doesn't make sense because um you know you have to do this but you can't do that because of this
00:37:42.660and i said i know and she said so how can you be saying we have to do this because you know this
00:37:47.500is true and i said i know that is true but i also know we have to do it and i said that that's the
00:37:52.440problem there's there's no good answer to this there is no good answer and the worst answer we
00:37:58.560can do is be frozen in place because then that's your answer and you don't want to be on that one
00:38:05.180So I don't know how to balance this. This is probably the most difficult question we have that we're dealing with now. And they're only going to get harder from here. But we have to answer this question one way or another. And I don't know how the people do it, but the people should be the ones making the decision.
00:38:22.080not some committee not our you know not our you know city councils the people's voice need to be
00:38:29.480in this in every single county and community that is thinking about building these data centers it
00:38:35.660must answer to the people all right back in just a second i'll tell you about our sponsor this half
00:38:42.500hour our sponsor is super sure you know who never gets a standing ovation the stage crew they're the
00:38:48.420one's moving the sets adjusting the lights running the cables fixing the problem before anybody even
00:38:52.460realizes there's a problem if they do their job perfectly the audience just thinks you know they
00:38:57.200don't even think about them it just happens right i've spent enough years in radio and television
00:39:01.400to know that's the way you want it to happen okay that's how business insurance should work as well

00:42:02.200And I also want to share an idea that I have, something that I've been watching with Rubio, something I think is going on, whether anyone knows it or not, I think something is going on there.
00:42:14.200And it has everything to do with 2028.
00:42:24.160keeping yourself and your family safe means being prepared for situations that can
00:42:30.460you know put you or them in danger it means being prepared for all the situations you know
00:42:35.320even those situations where deadly force is not needed in fact it's a real problem
00:42:39.780there are more of those than you think and if you're a gun owner it's unfortunately easy to
00:42:44.380think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs but you never pull a gun unless you're
00:42:47.820prepared to kill somebody and i'm i'm not in all situations you know but they can go bad fast

00:44:51.100Hello, America from Los Angeles, California. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:45:00.020I want to talk to you about who I think is being groomed to be the next president of the United States.
00:45:09.700And in a way we haven't seen since the early 1800s. And I'll explain in just a minute.
00:45:17.340First, I want to take you to the State Department because the State Department, first of all, let's recognize some good things the State Department has done.
00:45:26.020Under Rubio, they've gotten rid of all of this Cold War ideology.
00:45:32.640Hopefully, they've cleaned it, deep cleaned it enough so you don't have any of this Cold War thinking, no longer looking to spread democracy through, you know, never ending wars.
00:45:44.120because that's all the work of the State Department over the years.
00:45:49.880No longer now with the loss of, gosh darn it, USAID,
00:45:54.680we're not spreading wokeism and progressivism and anti-Americanism around the globe anymore.
00:50:50.820And so we're just calling them what they are. We're going after them and we're dismantling these groups to protect the American people.
00:50:56.060So when you guys took on USAID, which I think is, I mean, I celebrated, nobody knew who USAID was.
00:51:03.060I've been talking about USAID for years and how it's just a dark money hole.
00:51:09.780And we're really seeing this now pay off.
00:51:15.080Have you guys found other things connected like that?
00:51:18.980Are we looking at other things that we have been paying for, our own selves, that are killing us in the long run?
00:51:29.580Well, USAID had a fundamental, complete lack of accountability, and that's why we wanted to bring USAID under the State Department, identify those programs.
00:51:38.800We would have circumstances where USAID was doing a program in a certain country that ran counter to the policy of the duly elected president of the United States, ran counter to the foreign policy in that country.
00:51:51.060You had a tremendous amount of USAID programs that were simply fueling an NGO industrial complex.
00:51:58.280And this NGO industrial complex wasn't actually addressing many of the problems we want to address, but instead was funding things that were counter to the United States.
00:52:06.960oftentimes funding organizations that wanted open borders, for example, that were trying to pressure
00:52:12.240the United States against policies to secure our border and save lives. That's one powerful example
00:52:17.260that we saw. So we're addressing this and making sure that when we have programs, we're actually
00:52:21.740having programs that further our foreign policy. It's common sense. It's how our system should work.
00:52:25.960And then fundamental to that is accountability. We know where the money is going. And also,
00:52:30.720we're able to spend it faster. If you look at our disaster response in Venezuela, for example,
00:52:34.680We are seeing a massive response to Venezuela showing the effectiveness of a program when you have it aligned with your foreign policy and in the State Department.
00:52:42.840How do you make sure that we, because things, good policies always go wrong because somebody comes in and they just mutate and it gets worse and worse and worse.
00:52:51.300How do we make sure that going after these things doesn't turn into going after candidates that the United States doesn't like or speech that the United States doesn't like?
00:53:02.720Well, when it comes to speech, for example, one of the primary things that we have made clear
00:53:06.420is we're attacking what existed previously in the censorship industrial complex.
00:53:11.420We have Undersecretary here at the State Department, Undersecretary Sarah Rogers,
00:53:15.120who has made a point to call out censorship, combat censorship, and make sure that people
00:53:19.460know censorship is now a tool that's completely off the table. And we have actually eliminated
00:53:23.440certain organizations from the beginning within the State Department that were actively censoring
00:53:28.840the American people. We've also taken action at the State Department for when other countries
00:53:33.560pass laws that do what's called extraterritorial censorship. So they pass a law, but their laws
00:53:38.380end up censoring American speech. That is unacceptable. So we're going to protect freedom
00:53:42.120of speech. So part of this, what we can do is identify those organizations, those institutions
00:53:46.380within the State Department that were doing things like censorship, dismantle them, and do what we
00:53:51.000can to make sure that we're riding this ship as much as possible while we have the ability to do
00:53:54.740so let me touch on the icc what what steps are we actually taking and is it possible to dismantle
00:54:01.720this thing international right now there's a you know there's a variety of options on the table
00:54:06.760that are being considered this is a major diplomatic campaign to isolate the icc which
00:54:11.740has really turned into a group of globalist bureaucrats that are just determined to undermine
00:54:16.440the sovereignty of the united states of america to target american service members to target
00:54:21.060U.S. Border Patrol agents to threaten U.S. elected officials. Unacceptable behavior,
00:54:26.580the Secretary being very clear that we have a variety of options on the table. And this is
00:54:30.700really a continuation of work to protect American sovereignty. And I think importantly, this is not
00:54:35.600a new concern from the United States. We have never since our founding subjected ourselves to
00:54:40.680courts that want to overturn our constitution and our own courts. We're not going to accept it now
00:54:44.640and we're taking action to make sure that they don't have the ability to do so. So let me turn
00:54:49.240to iran because it's kind of the same uh thing i think there's a possibility that iran is just
00:54:55.660doing this to buy more time in hopes that elections will change the course of things
00:55:00.340um a any updates on iran and b how do we make sure that when this goes through these changes
00:55:08.620that you guys are making are lasting changes and not just for four years and we slow you know we
00:55:14.480just snap back to the way we were? Well, when it comes to the changes we're making in the
00:55:19.240State Department, that's why the reorganization itself was so important. And it really was
00:55:23.320incredibly wide in its scope, implementing policies that really have accountability for
00:55:28.680the American people, eliminating redundant offices, eliminating offices that worked
00:55:33.180counter to the interests of the American people, making sure we have that accountability, and also
00:55:37.480making sure we have new practices when it comes to recruiting, for example, that we're having the
00:55:41.560best and brightest join the foreign service, join the ranks of so many in the foreign and civil
00:55:45.340service that want to do their jobs, that want to advance the interests of the American people.
00:55:49.240I've met many that want to do that, but we're stopped by the bureaucracy. So it's about
00:55:53.100addressing that bureaucracy, putting a new system in place that hopefully will be long sustaining
00:55:57.120by the depth and breadth of these changes. When it comes to Iran, what we've seen is the president
00:56:02.360of the United States being very clear from the beginning. We had a deal with Iran and they broke0.97
00:56:07.140it the president is acting accordingly but fundamental is the very clear objective that0.67
00:56:11.820the iranian regime cannot have a nuclear weapon and the president's been clear he's going to
00:56:15.500accomplish that objective one way or another i will tell you i don't i don't recall that i know
00:56:21.180i have but i don't recall the time last time i had somebody from the state department on because i've
00:56:25.000always hated the state department um because they were the ones that trapped us in the foreign wars
00:56:29.420and everything else and i'm you know kind of a backup of what i was just asking about um you
00:56:34.660You know, I know Rubio has worked really hard to get us into a place where we're firing everybody, I think, on the second floor or above the second floor at the State Department and try to make sure that we're not, you know, trapped in these foreign wars.
00:56:48.300You know, our withdrawal, you know this, our withdrawal from Afghanistan, that was all coordinated by the State Department.
00:57:22.640I think that's actually a testament to the earthquake response that we've seen, the response to those earthquakes.
00:57:27.200The fact that it was instantaneous, the fact that we've seen the interim authorities cooperating fully on this matter.
00:57:33.040The Secretary has spoken to how a lot of progress has been made, and there are implements in place to make sure that there's accountability, there's cooperation, there's insight that we have when it comes to the movement of Venezuela and the direction we want it to go.
00:57:44.040We have this three-phase plan that we're working towards eventually to see a partner in the region, a long-term partner.
00:57:50.540So we have a long way to go. A lot of work. Our priority right now remains on responding to the earthquakes. We've seen that historic response.
00:57:56.560But we've seen a lot of progress as well from where we were just a few months ago under Maduro, that illegitimate regime that did so much to threaten the American people and hurt the Venezuelan people.
00:58:05.280You know, I said to the president about a year ago, I saw what he was doing and I saw Panama and then I saw Greenland and and, you know, now Venezuela and then the Strait of Hormuz and everything else.
00:58:19.720And I said, you are completely changing the world order from what it was after World War II that just kind of just ran by default.
00:58:30.460You're completely changing this whole thing and setting up a completely new system where it is really centered on this hemisphere.
01:25:01.780We've sometimes owned a home that was truly ours.
01:25:05.180That's why it's so disturbing to learn that criminals don't have to break a window or kick a door in to come after that dream.
01:25:10.620All it takes is publicly available information, a forged signature, and some paperwork filed in the right place.
01:25:16.360Suddenly, you find yourself trying to prove that that home that was yours, you bought and paid for it, you worked hard to build equity in, is actually yours.
01:25:24.200That's why I want you to know about Home Title Lock.
01:29:21.080okay so i want to tell you the story of the democratic socialists of america and i got to
01:29:28.820tell you when i started digging into this i'm like oh geez i've seen this story before if you
01:29:32.780have been watching me for any time this will take you back to the chalkboard days and maybe in a
01:29:37.120couple of weeks i'll do a chalkboard uh for insiders after the show on the democratic socialists
01:29:41.940because it sounds so familiar democratic socialist america it has a governing board
01:29:49.500it's called the national political committee after the 2025 national convention the far
01:29:56.720left news aggregator not a conservative outfit the manhattan or the manhattan institute um
01:30:03.380but one of theirs did a count on that board and published the count how many communists are on
01:30:10.560the board after the 2025 national convention how many in the democratic socialists are actual
01:30:18.680communists 51.9 percent are actual self-avowed communists 14.8 percent are middle between
01:30:31.440socialists and communists and 33 percent are what are called reformists what does that mean
01:30:37.820i have no idea they didn't publish this as a warning okay they published this as a scoreboard
01:30:45.180and on the 4th of july on america's 250th birthday the dsa announced it had passed 120 000 members
01:30:52.380and they put that out with pride they noted correctly that this makes them the largest
01:30:57.960socialist organization in the history of the united states that's bigger than when eugene
01:31:02.740debs started the socialist party back in 1912 that was the peak of it it's bigger than the
01:31:08.960communist party usa have has ever been even in 1947 when stalin still had friends in hollywood
01:31:15.820and and and russia was an ally okay 10 years ago they had 6 000 people
01:31:23.8006 000 that's a decent high school now in in major cities
01:31:27.760now it's a now it's 120 let me show you where this organization came from because the story
01:31:37.300is not what the what what you think it is and what anybody in the media is ever going to tell
01:31:41.980you the man who founded it would be sick to his stomach today his name was michael harrington
01:31:48.280in 1962 michael harrington wrote a book called the other america ricky get that get have the
01:31:55.660library get me a copy original copy of that book would you the the other america it's about the
01:32:01.980invisible poor john kennedy read it and helped him kick off the war on poverty okay from the other
01:32:10.160america and michael harrington harrington was a socialist but he was also and this is a part that
01:32:17.060nobody will tell you he was also a ferocious anti-communist he believed that the soviet union
01:32:25.060was a lie and a prison and he believed the american left had to say so out loud every time
01:32:33.740without a single word of hedging because he did believe that there was a difference between
01:32:38.300socialism and communism and he made that very clear so the same year 1962 a group of students
01:32:47.360meet at the UAW retreat in Port Huron, Wisconsin, and they write a manifesto. Students for a
01:32:57.200democratic society, SDS. This is where the old chalkboards come in from 2008. Tom Hayden held
01:33:05.040the pin there. And SDS at that point was still under the wing of the older labor socialist outfit
01:33:11.660that had one rule one rule and it was an exclusion clause that exclusion clause and they the teachers
01:33:19.660union in california had it up until 2008 they excluded one group you could not join if you
01:33:27.240were or ever had been or are a communist now that rule existed because the men who wrote it
01:33:35.500had watched the communist hollow out one organization after another in the 30s and they
01:33:40.840had learned you let a communist in and they're just going to devour you so harrington reads the
01:33:48.140port huron statement and he goes to war not over you know economics over just one thing the kids
01:33:55.320refused to condemn the soviet union without qualification they wanted they wanted to be in
01:34:03.120the in the phrase of the era anti anti-communists they thought the exclusion clause was a relic it
01:34:11.180was something you know a loyalty oath and it was embarrassing only something your our fathers
01:34:16.580worried about with mccarthy and harrington is like no you don't understand you don't know history i
01:34:23.020fought these people so he fought these people with sds and he lost and he later said i handled it
01:34:30.000really really badly but in 1965 sds took the exclusion clause out of its constitution now
01:34:37.000here's what happened next because you're watching the exact same real play again today with the door
01:34:45.380open now to communists a maoist outfit called progressive labor walked into sds and started
01:34:53.260taking it over from the inside remember this is a maoist communist group but they named themselves
01:35:01.080progressive labor why because that's what communists always do they took this thing over
01:35:07.880chapter by chapter and caucus by caucus exactly what's happening with the democrats by the summer
01:35:14.020of 1969 the national convention in chicago blew apart what came out the other side was no longer
01:35:20.960a student group okay sds as i taught you on the chalkboards a year ago was now the weatherman
01:35:27.100the days of rage that came that october in march of 1970 a townhouse in greenwich village
01:35:36.600blew up because the people inside all former sds members all part of the weather underground now
01:35:43.520were building nail bombs and they didn't know what they were doing a bomb goes off and three
01:35:50.260of them die that's the arc from a manifesto about participatory democracy to getting rid of the
01:36:01.500exclusion clause no communists to a nail bomb all in seven years okay the hinge here the only hinge
01:36:09.780on this was the day they removed the rule that kept out the communists they thought they were
01:36:15.920just removing a relic but they were removing a wall an important wall and michael harrington
01:36:22.260spent the rest of his life building an organization that would never make that mistake in 1982 he
01:36:29.580merged his group with another group called the democratic socialist of america and the dsa
01:36:36.920carried in its bones a ban on something called democratic centralism what the hell is that well
01:36:44.260Well, if you know anything about Lenin, it's a Leninist rule that you fight behind closed doors and then present one face to the public, one line, one voice, no dissent.
01:36:59.660Harrington's people said, no, we're not doing that.
