00:00:45.820 America's getting back on track with Trump in office.

00:00:48.360 Lots of businesses are seeing the writing on the wall and beginning to divest themselves of all these woke programs

00:00:53.160 and are focusing instead on their customers.

00:00:55.260 What a concept.

00:00:56.820 But not all of them are.

00:00:58.000 And staying on top of which companies you should and should not invest in is the kind of, uh,

00:01:03.720 well, it's the kind of work that I don't want to do.

00:01:05.920 I mean, it's a lot.

00:01:06.780 It's a lot of work.

00:01:07.900 But as an investor, I know I can influence company policies like DEI, CRT, and ESG.

00:01:13.740 And I do that by exercising shareholder proxy voting, reducing my investments in companies that don't align with my values.

00:01:21.520 And we all should be doing this.

00:01:23.020 Make sure you line everything up with your values, and Constitution Wealth is the company that can make this happen.

00:05:30.080 up with the chickens in the morning and wrestles a living from earth he's he stepped outside to just

00:05:38.720 check on his herd one moment he is breathing in the crisp morning air near brownsville uh texas and

00:05:47.320 the next he's gone i want you to remember this is in america there was an ied a coward's weapon

00:05:56.820 planted by a cartel it turned this american just living his life into pieces a mangled memory

00:06:12.620 it blown his boots off now the cattle wander uh uh untended his widow is 0.99

00:06:24.340 left there wondering what's left this isn't kabul this isn't fallujah this is our land a stone's

00:06:34.080 throw away from where i sit right now where cartels are running wild and now they've brought their war

00:06:40.260 here now we have ignored this for a very long time our government was in bed with them this isn't

00:06:48.060 murder this is a declaration of war by the cartels so what did the u.s state department do well this

00:06:57.280 happened a few weeks ago and the state department just put a warning on border towns like it's some

00:07:02.640 third world hell hole the texas ag commissioner sid miller told ranchers hey you should avoid dirt roads

00:07:10.960 and any suspicious junk like what you're like you're dodging snipers in fallujah this is america

00:07:17.900 we're not supposed to cower on our own soil hey you want to survive today here's what you need to do 0.99

00:07:26.740 no foreign criminals have turned our ranches and many of our cities into kill zones these cartels

00:07:36.180 correct he was correct for saying this trump called them terrorists and terrorist organizations and he's

00:07:43.980 right but you know what they thrive on spinelessness that's what they that's what they thrive on spinelessness 0.92

00:07:52.740 they want you to cower they want you to be afraid they rake in blood money while now planting bombs in

00:08:00.600 our backyards and what do we do so far nothing so far nothing it's one little story today you probably

00:08:11.200 won't even see if unless you're looking for it we have drones that can spot a snake

00:08:18.640 and track it we have ai that tracks every move we have ai that can go in and find where every penny is 0.98

00:08:31.660 we have special operators who make these cowards wet themselves 0.82

00:08:37.080 when they plant an improvised explosive device 0.94

00:08:44.480 on our u.s soil and kill an innocent american citizen i don't know i think we should use some 0.81

00:08:53.260 of those tools that we have at our disposal crush this cancer use them tell mexico and their cartel 1.00

00:09:03.300 buddies sorry gang homie don't play this game anymore yeah say just like that try i want to hear trump say 0.86

00:09:12.100 that america should not ever bend or ignore you spill our blood on our soil we bury you that's the line

00:09:23.860 we don't want war with anybody we don't want foreign wars but you bring death onto our soil 1.00

00:09:33.160 we will kill you we will kill everybody that's involved with you we will burn your empire down 1.00

00:09:42.440 to the ground and then we'll go home 1.00

00:09:44.760 cross our line and your empire burns that's the message now trump has done a very very good job

00:09:54.040 at sending the message do you know how many people crossed i think what was it yesterday

00:09:57.460 they had 200 people across our entire border on the south kind of approach like can we come in no

00:10:05.840 that is a 15 year low so we've sent the message but we've sent the message to the regular people

00:10:15.240 the people are like god you know i want to live a better life uh-huh no sorry come in the front door

00:10:22.200 not the back door not the window not down the chimney you're not santa claus

00:10:26.340 so we've done a good job trump in a very short order has sent a very clear message and he started

00:10:35.360 to send the message to the cartel but you cannot allow time to pass after they kill an innocent

00:10:46.740 american citizen on their own land in their own town no we are staring down a beast and i mean a nasty 0.99

00:10:59.600 one when cartels start to plant bombs in texas and flood our streets with fentanyl and laughing while

00:11:08.580 we bicker about root causes but what is the root cause a rancher is blown apart on his own land

00:11:15.380 and the response nothing yet this isn't a crime it's an invasion by stealth and you know if we go back

00:11:27.060 in history we can learn from you know what we've done and what we haven't done in the past let's roll

00:11:34.540 the let's roll the tape back mafia 1920s was that a good thing or a bad thing cops are dead

00:11:45.300 politicians are bought and paid for streets are soaked in blood what happened well we didn't mess

00:11:53.040 around forever for forever uh the fbi born to smash them and for a while it didn't work until 0.96

00:12:00.100 elliot ness and the untouchables 0.99

00:12:03.180 okay so it was bad until we got serious about it fast forward to the 90s escobar his cartel

00:12:14.760 nightmare but when the u.s and columbia teamed up he went down and he went down hard decisive

00:12:21.900 action it wins fights when you snooze to put it mildly you lose al-qaeda bombed the world trade center

00:12:32.820 in 1993 does anybody remember when we shrugged that off oh gee you know that's bad al-qaeda they're 0.51

00:12:40.120 trying to blow up the world trade center eight years later they tried it again and this time

00:12:45.900 3 000 families paid the price nazi germany we watched hitler arm up until poland burned 0.53

00:12:53.960 every time you show weakness every time it invites disaster thank god donald trump is not a weak

00:13:06.620 president thank god we are at this point now with the cartels and we have a president in place

00:13:14.760 that is not going to blink is not going to turn around is not going to be like oh you know what

00:13:20.720 it's getting kind of scary maybe we should nuh-uh the cart cartels are not the nazis and they're not

00:13:27.000 al-qaeda they're not here to topple the capital they're here to bribe the capital don't be fooled

00:13:34.620 they're not just drug dealers either they are a twisted mix mafia muscle terrorist tactics shadow

00:13:42.340 government cash they've got billions they were in bed with our government they have made billions over

00:13:49.300 the last four year guns outmatch our cops and now ieds on american soil hmm hmm that's not petty theft

00:13:59.500 that's a middle finger to your sovereignty that's what's happening we're sitting on our hands while

00:14:06.100 they rake in profits and plot the next strike i know donald trump is not sitting on his hands

00:14:13.920 but hegseth should be very very clear this is this is a call to the american people

00:14:24.500 see the thing is we can stop them they think they're all so tough do you know that our defense

00:14:36.980 budget is more than the what is it the top 15 countries combined that includes russia and china

00:14:47.120 our defense budget is bigger than the top 15 countries in the world we have we have devices

00:14:55.700 that will see through walls we have ai that just with your phone can show you who is in the room

00:15:03.360 and where they're standing it almost gives you a visual of the people just through your phone

00:15:12.180 we have ai that will sniff out the dirty money special ops who will turn cartel king mit kingpins 0.65

00:15:20.040 into ghost stories remember abu abu baghdaddy he cried he cried out he cried like a little baby

00:15:31.980 that's what remember that you think al-baghdaddy cried what do you think we can do to the cartels

00:15:40.740 it's important that we send a very very clear message cartels are terrorists label them then hit

00:15:56.260 them with everything we have cops spies military if it comes to it lock the border tight no more catch

00:16:03.260 and release games bleed them dry seize their cash shred their networks make them choke this isn't about

00:16:12.140 bravado this is about survival if we don't add if we don't act that bomb in texas will not be the last

00:16:20.780 maybe it'll be your street your kid your school

00:16:26.060 we're not debating policies we'll be burying bodies you have a chance here with the right president

00:16:37.100 but this president is juggling chains literally chainsaws torches and pianos

00:16:45.480 your voice plays such an important role this is a cancer and you don't hug cancer you cut it out you don't

00:16:59.760 ignore cancer you pour radiation down its throat history proves hesitation kills

00:17:10.540 if we don't you know saying i told you so doesn't bring anybody back it doesn't restore anything

00:21:01.660 their bodies outside of it oh it's going to happen and it's not going to just happen the longer we wait

00:21:44.200 little messier than than what the american people are thinking it's war it is and these are legitimate 0.96

00:21:49.640 paramilitary organizations like yes they are but i mean look we're better yeah but we're better still

00:21:57.180 i mean we're better than al-qaeda yes we're better than isis yes and we saw a lot of things that we

00:22:02.900 were not uh not comfortable with uh during those wars we did eventually wait wait wait when donald

00:22:07.880 trump came in i mean i wasn't comfortable the whole isis thing i mean remember just like this

00:22:13.220 yeah just like this we were helping isis remember benghazi we helped them okay then donald trump came

00:22:21.960 in and they were like it's probably going to take us four or five years and it's going to be very

00:22:26.280 bloody and he said i don't think so uh i'd like to see the full might and power of the united states

00:22:32.520 get it done and i think it was in four weeks they were done didn't get enough credit for it either

00:22:46.260 drones we have technology you can burn them to the ground and you probably do it i don't know by

00:22:53.980 what time is it now this is this is what makes me nervous i don't know that it's that easy

00:22:57.840 maybe it is maybe it is i mean you know it's a different situation being able to go into

00:23:03.080 the middle east where we have all sorts of war declarations and i put that in air quotes uh with

00:23:09.220 the ability to do all sorts of stuff this inside of mexico it's going to be an interesting story

00:26:08.380 of the argument i mean just for a minute i don't expect you to change but i i want you to listen

00:26:12.960 with you sons of you people who just don't you just hate people of other colors for no parent reason

00:26:21.440 that's the only reason why you want these illegals as you might call them out have some compassion man

00:26:27.960 so let me just i want you to unless you're driving close your eyes for just a minute and i want you

00:26:32.920 to imagine a twilight world shadowed and stilled where the hum of life is faded to a whisper

00:26:39.820 picture the sprawling farmland its fields once ablaze with golden week and wheat and and and and

00:26:49.300 beautiful verdant rose of produce just it's a painting except now it's desolate stalks are brittle

00:26:59.660 fruit rotting where it falls on the ground zoom closer in a construction site skeletal beams rising

00:27:09.800 like bones of some forgotten beast abandoned mid-creation a restaurant there on main street in your own

00:27:20.220 hometown its windows dark its tables bare the aroma simmering spices replaced now just by the dust of

00:27:29.960 that neglect oh you might say i'm finding that hard to imagine but it is the precipice which we teeter

00:27:41.060 upon when we contemplate casting out the undocumented souls who breathe life into our nation's veins 1.00

00:27:49.660 let's really look at her case these workers vilified yet so rarely beheld are the unseen architects of our own

00:28:02.760 prosperity yes consider the ledger here of reality over 70 percent of those who tend our fields are foreign

00:28:12.220 born and of that number nearly half lack the papers we demand they're not peripheral they're foundational

00:28:21.240 in 2023 their labor their labor fueled an economy that extracted 128 billion dollars in taxes from their sweat

00:28:30.880 and this these are funds that they will never recover from social security or medicare their unemployment

00:28:38.660 rate stands at 3.2 percent outpacing the native born right you might say well that's not really good that

00:28:48.980 means jobs aren't no they're just willing to work these are not the idle they are the relentless

00:28:56.640 filling the the chasms in our agriculture and construction and hospitality can you imagine going to one of your

00:29:06.420 rich banquets held in some banquet hall the belly of some corporate monstrosity hotel chain where are you

00:29:16.100 going to get the servers to feed you you corporate fat cat american sectors would buckle without them 0.95

00:29:24.560 the american farm bureau calculates that expelling the undocumented labor would slash agricultural output by 60

00:29:34.800 50 percent your breakfast orange juice price triples the milk in your coffee doubles overnight

00:29:42.600 construction costs soar as half the workforce 1.5 million strong just vanishes

00:29:50.200 stalling homes and highways all throughout the country hospitality already fragile loses 1.2 million workers

00:30:01.100 go ahead see if you can find somebody that will wash the dishes restaurants clothes hotels just

00:30:06.980 mothball rooms this isn't just speculation it's the arithmetic of survival

00:30:16.860 cato institute pegs the gdp loss at 1.6 trillion dollars over a decade if we purge these contributors that you

00:30:27.160 call illegals who bears that burden hmm i'll tell you who you do at the checkout in your rent with your tax bill

00:30:38.640 these are not the faceless cogs but they're human beings propelled by the same hunger for betterment

00:30:48.080 that drove pilgrims across the oceans they'll tell you they rise before the sun hands blistered knees bent

00:30:55.420 harvesting what we consume without an even a second thought yes california growers have said that

00:31:02.040 they've posted ads for years and locals just don't apply these jobs are theirs because no one else will

00:31:07.800 do these jobs and the data concurs in states like texas and florida native-born workers shun the fields

00:31:14.700 leaving 80 percent of crop labor to the immigrants documented or undocumented they don't displace 1.00

00:31:22.560 they sustain quote without this labor our way of life will crumble quote this is a necessary good

00:31:37.260 look where they came from they're better off in our fields and in the shadows than where they were

00:31:44.280 where where they when they came here look at where they came from

00:31:48.620 gee is there an echo in here

00:31:52.280 maybe it's just the ghost of arguments past that i hear i'm not sure but it seemed

00:31:59.340 without this labor we will starve our way of life will collapse this is a necessary good

00:32:05.680 it's necessary for us and good for them look at where they came from they're better off in our fields

00:32:11.280 than where they came from the prosperity of the superior depends on the toil of the inferior oh wait a

00:32:18.900 minute

00:32:19.080 i have heard these phrases before it seems as though they've just been rinsed out and repurposed

00:32:28.960 without this labor our way of life crumbles

00:32:33.160 that's a mirror gang the words aren't new they're borrowed from a time when men in frock

00:32:43.400 coats deemed human bondage a necessary good because if we don't have these slaves in the field

00:32:50.260 our very way of life will crumble you won't be able to afford any products it's a pillar of economic

00:32:59.140 order james henry hammond 1858 in all social systems there must be a class to perform the drudgery

00:33:07.820 freeing the refined for higher purposes wow that almost sounds like harari doesn't it from the world

00:33:14.780 economic forum there will be a permanent underclass of useless people will just need to keep busy doing

00:33:21.300 stuff oh my gosh the compassion you're right he's speaking right from the heart

00:33:27.180 john calhoun 1837 it's a positive good it's good for them and it's good for us

00:33:35.860 it's an institution that if we don't have it civilization falters end quote

00:33:42.200 then it was cotton and tobacco now it's lettuce and drywall but it's the same damn thing

00:33:50.760 then it was chains now it's fear the fear of ice raids fractured families a life uprooted

00:33:58.700 it's still fear isn't it both rest on the same calculus look they're gonna have to do this because

00:34:08.240 it's good for the rest of us all we've done is we've polished the rhetoric we've swapped shackles

00:34:14.500 for shadows but it's exactly the same other than that an underclass indispensable yet discarded

00:34:22.460 but it's it's vital although we can't really give them dignity i mean they got to live in the shadows 0.99

00:34:30.080 here is the left this stupid do they really think we don't see the parallels here are they so naive to 0.99

00:34:40.360 think that a costume change can absolve us why is it so many people just swallow this 1.00

00:34:48.120 why do we let our politicians the and i mean this literally the heirs to the same voices of the 19th century

00:34:59.540 that were defending slavery those heirs why do we listen to them this isn't mercy

00:35:06.780 it's cowardice masked as practicality masked again as compassion there's no compassion in the shadows

00:35:18.880 the left joins the chorus 0.99

00:35:23.100 this is exploitation all just dressed in progressive crap as if calling it essential washes the stain clean 0.98

00:35:33.980 but it doesn't it's a lie that so many americans are telling themselves to keep the tomatoes cheap 0.98

00:35:40.200 and the guilted bay so we can walk around with our cell phones from apple and pretend we're better 0.98

00:35:47.180 than everybody else because we're against slavery but we buy our crap from china 1.00

00:35:51.540 we'll we'll allow people to live in the shadows we can't get them to go back home and come through 0.93

00:36:00.460 the front door what kind of compassion is that it's so much better for them to live in a state of fear

00:36:05.960 their whole life here in america you know there is another option we could innovate we could mechanize

00:36:13.240 the fields that's that's coming that's coming we could train the idol we could actually say to our kids 0.98

00:36:20.520 get your fat lazy ass off the couch away from the gaming system and go out and work 0.98

00:36:28.240 we could also pay wages that tempt the unwilling 1.00

00:36:32.740 instead we'll let these corporations these corporate farms 0.97

00:36:40.580 undercut a reasonable living wage and just keep people pushed in the shadows so you could have a ripe tomato

00:36:49.560 you know everybody always says oh the right side of history i would have been on the right side of

00:36:56.080 history would you would you have been really 1860 you're walking around going i don't know i mean

00:37:01.720 this cotton this shirt it's fantastic it breathes i mean how are we going to get all that cotton picked

00:37:07.140 in the field if we don't have slaves you know this is necessary our whole society collapses without the 0.99

00:37:13.740 slave you really would have been on the other side back then and yet somehow or another you're not

00:37:20.500 on that side now my guess is you would have been sitting someplace in in uh maybe in charleston in a

00:37:29.700 parlor sipping tea why i just don't understand why all these people don't understand why we need to have

00:37:35.940 these slaves i mean they're really not good for much else they're not really like us i mean they can make

00:37:48.240 my tea and wash my dishes and pick the cotton in the fields and grow our food i'm gonna have my son do that 0.58

00:37:55.680 i don't think so i think you would have been sitting in the parlor out front having a nice cool iced tea

00:38:04.080 this is a house built on sand its contradictions are almost hysterical if it didn't involve i don't

00:38:19.140 know real people but just remember this history doesn't forgive repetition it condemns it we've read

00:38:27.200 this script before it's its ending is pretty ugly but it's not inevitable we can rewrite it we can make

00:38:33.800 it easier for the hard worker to come here legally we can invest in machines to lighten the load we can

00:38:40.120 demand a system where no one's humanity is a bargaining chip for lower prices that's not charity that's

00:38:47.280 justice but equal justice not social justice you know everything in the fields it doesn't grow in shadow

00:38:58.720 it only grows in sunlight you want to end corruption here's a place we could start

00:39:07.520 because i can't believe how loud the echo of history is getting i'm just you know i say this

00:39:16.720 all the time it's going to be interesting to see how all this works out i'm just waiting to see if

00:39:21.020 this time uh we'll silence that echo of history and we'll go maybe we should do it another way here

00:44:43.040 First, let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:44:46.200 I started this company probably about 10 years ago.

00:44:49.740 We've done billions of dollars in business and save people time and money on selling and buying their home.

00:44:55.200 Um, it's a business that I started.

00:44:57.940 It's just, it is, it's just a helper to you.

00:45:01.840 I didn't know how to interview a real estate agent.

00:45:04.820 Can you sell my house?

00:45:06.160 Yes.

00:45:06.820 Okay, you're hired.

00:45:07.840 I started working with the 500 best real estate agents around the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.

00:45:12.960 And I found out what are the best practices?

00:45:16.220 How do you interview a real estate agent?

00:45:18.720 How do you know who the best people are in your community?

00:45:47.380 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:50.880 Vivek Ramaswamy, the Ohio gubernatorial candidate, Strive Asset Manager, co-founder.

00:45:57.380 Also, I would say the co-founder or co-designer of Doge.

00:46:00.540 And a good friend of the program.

00:46:02.960 Vivek, how are you?

00:46:04.720 Good to talk to you, Glenn.

00:46:05.760 How you been?

00:46:06.600 Really good.

00:46:07.420 Really good.

00:46:08.300 So, I got a lot to talk to you about.

00:46:10.520 First of all, why do you want to be the governor of Ohio?

00:46:16.060 Well, look, I think that Donald Trump is doing a great job as U.S. president.

00:46:19.180 But that means that a lot of federal programs are going to come down from Washington, D.C.,

00:46:25.320 from education to health care, back to the states and to the people

00:46:29.720 where they belong.

00:46:31.380 That's one of the things I saw in my early effort in helping get Doge off the ground

00:46:34.840 is the same thing.

00:46:36.580 Federalism is the way forward to our golden age.

00:46:39.760 And that is going to require strong governors to actually step up and do their job in leading

00:46:46.140 and managing education, for example, in the right way.

00:46:49.480 And so I was born and raised in Ohio.

00:46:50.880 It's where I'm raising my two sons today.

00:46:52.760 I think it's one of the better states in the Midwest, but I want to lead Ohio to be

00:46:56.880 the top state in the country to raise a young family, to grow a business, and to live the

00:47:02.260 American dream that I have.

00:47:03.540 That's why I'm in it.

00:47:04.320 Yeah.

00:47:04.800 I mean, he's, I don't know. 0.76

00:47:06.700 I mean, it's kind of like conservative porn here.

00:47:08.620 He's talking about returning the power to the states and cutting all those federal programs.

00:47:15.500 Oh, yeah.

00:47:16.140 Yeah.

00:47:16.980 So, Vague, the way the government is going, I mean, I hope that Doge actually does the

00:47:25.580 job and I hope we finish the job here.

00:47:28.280 We've got so much we have to cut.

00:47:30.640 I mean, trillions of dollars we have to cut and return that power to the state.

00:47:35.220 Everybody's saying this is going to be chaos.

00:47:37.780 How, as the governor of Ohio, how do you prepare for what is coming so it's not chaos?

00:47:45.820 What has to be done?

00:47:46.440 I have to admit, I think the job is going to be far easier for me at the state level

00:47:53.340 than it is doing it at the federal level, which is a gargantuan project.

00:47:57.700 But I do think that giving taxpayers the transparency, first of all, how their money is being spent,

00:48:03.060 fixing the regulatory state, all that's required.

00:48:05.500 At the level of Ohio, I think this is actually immediately achievable in ways that improve

00:48:11.840 people's lives, right?

00:48:13.080 And I'm into bringing the American dream back to Ohio.

00:48:15.200 How do we do it?

00:48:16.340 Flash every bit of red tape in the state.

00:48:18.560 I mean, think about the overregulation that comes from that bureaucracy.

00:48:22.200 That is the easiest thing we could fix right out the gate.

00:48:25.080 18 to 36 months for a natural gas pipeline.

00:48:27.880 That should be six months or less.

00:48:30.520 I haven't met a single person in Ohio.

00:48:32.580 I haven't met a single person in the country, Glenn, who says that we have too little red tape.

00:48:36.820 I've met a lot of people, especially business owners, who will tell you that there is too much red tape.

00:48:42.860 And so I do think that this idea that this is just an academic project, no, it's not just academic

00:48:47.620 solutions to address a deficit number or a debt number or a GDP number.

00:48:52.520 I think these are vital improvements to our economic and social fabric so that little league teams no

00:48:58.960 longer have to shut down because they can't find a local company to sponsor them because they went to

00:49:03.360 another state with a more favorable regulatory environment.

00:49:06.360 So a mom doesn't have to think twice before having a second or third kid for fear of the cost of a bigger car 1.00

00:49:11.860 because the tax rate is too high in the state.

00:49:14.520 So one of the things I want to do is to drive the income tax rate down, eventually down to zero,

00:49:19.560 like eight other states that have done the same thing.

00:49:22.760 Back the property tax burden.

00:49:24.340 It's your land, not the government's.

00:49:26.020 It is your money, not the government's.

00:49:28.200 And I don't think that those should be controversial things to say.

00:49:31.620 Hang on, Daniel, just a second.

00:49:32.820 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:49:34.200 Talk to me about property taxes again.

00:49:36.080 What was your plan on property taxes?

00:49:39.760 Well, property tax in Ohio, so this is a problem in our state in particular, have gotten way too high.

00:49:45.220 So many people are paying as much money on their interest plus principal repayment as they are on their

00:49:53.760 property tax.

00:49:54.540 And it makes you feel like you're not owning your land anymore.

00:49:58.080 Your own the land feels like you're leasing it from the government, which is un-American. 0.97

00:50:03.080 So that's exactly what we're taking a bet.

00:50:06.180 I have to tell you, I think property cuts.

00:50:08.740 It's about putting the money back in the pocket of people's hands.

00:50:11.340 I think property tax is absolutely immoral.

00:50:15.480 You cannot American. 1.00

00:50:16.820 It is.

00:50:17.740 I don't actually own anything if it can be taken from me because of tax.

00:50:22.140 I mean, that is like, isn't that the story of Robin Hood?

00:50:24.520 I mean, it's actually funny you say that.

00:50:28.340 You know, John Locke was one of the intellectual progenitors of our country's founding, as you're

00:50:33.600 well aware, and the ownership of private property was foundational to the formation of the United

00:50:39.420 States of America.

00:50:41.380 And so I think we would do well to remember those basic time-tested principles.

00:50:46.060 Capitalism is the greatest system known to man to lift us up from poverty.

00:50:49.840 We've started to apologize for that as well.

00:50:52.360 No, no, I want Ohio, and look, I say this for Ohio, but I say this because it has a national

00:50:57.060 significance too, Glenn, is I want Ohio to set the standard for the rest of the country

00:51:01.820 where we embrace property rights, where we embrace capitalism and meritocracy instead

00:51:06.740 of apologizing for it.

00:51:08.440 And the beauty of our system is that so much of saving our country actually has to come

00:51:14.320 from the level of the states, has to come from the people.

00:51:17.540 That's what James Madison envisioned.

00:51:19.100 That's what our founding fathers envisioned.

00:51:20.520 So I think federalism is the way.

00:51:23.060 The path to our golden age runs through federalism.

00:51:27.000 And that's why, look, I think that saving this country is a team effort.

00:51:29.840 That's why I chose to run for this position after great conversations with President Trump,

00:51:34.800 with Elon.

00:51:35.940 Frankly, both of them, they came out within hours of my announcement, within an hour to

00:51:40.300 both endorse, and I was proud to receive their support and others statewide here as well.

00:51:45.440 But that's because this is going to be a team effort to save the country.

00:51:49.760 And I do think leadership at the level of the states, especially starting a year or two

00:51:53.960 from now, after a lot of those programs have been pushed back down to the states and the

00:51:58.580 people where they belong, I do see a bit of a leadership gap there.

00:52:02.040 And that's a big part of why I was called into this.

00:52:04.880 And we're going to set a national standard.

00:52:06.960 We can call it the Ohio standard.

00:52:08.440 We can call it a modern-day Northwest ordinance.

00:52:11.020 But a conservative state, when governed according to conservative principles, actually,

00:52:16.300 can be a magnet for the rest of the country.

00:52:18.380 Okay, I've got a serious question for you.

00:52:20.400 But first, an even more serious question.

00:52:22.960 Every time I've ever endorsed any candidate, they always lose.

00:52:26.000 So what is my non-endorsement worth to you, Vivek?

00:52:31.480 Your friendship is worth a lot to me.

00:52:34.160 And we'd love to have you in Ohio.

00:52:37.720 We'll turn that into a Midas touch.

00:52:40.200 So I do want to talk to you about something that you are, you're qualified to answer.

00:52:46.860 And I think there are very few people that are qualified, that people trust and know that

00:52:52.980 can speak on this.

00:52:53.920 And, you know, Musk came out and talked about the singularity on Sunday and said,

00:52:58.520 we are on the event horizon of the singularity.

00:53:01.400 For anybody who really understands what's coming our way in the next three to five years,

00:53:05.560 the world will be completely different in ways that none of us can imagine in five years from now.

00:53:12.180 How do we explain this to the American people?

00:53:17.340 And how do you prepare a state to be nimble enough to be able to adapt?

00:53:25.280 I mean, I really believe we're at the very beginning here of a maybe 18 to 36 month change,

00:53:34.660 where at the end of these 36 months, it's going to be entirely different.

00:53:39.960 And people will have to understand you either adapt right now or you're out.

00:53:45.280 So how do you go ahead?

00:53:47.860 Either you're playing from the front and you're shaping that change or else you're going to be shaped by that.

00:53:53.660 Right.

00:53:54.260 And it is a leader.

00:53:55.380 And it's huge.

00:53:56.440 The difference is massive than we've ever seen before.

00:54:01.680 Absolutely.

00:54:02.340 So it's interesting about a position from the perspective of state leadership, right, as the next governor of Ohio.

00:54:07.080 I want Ohio to be the state where we use AI not to take jobs, but to make jobs.

00:54:13.540 And what I mean by that is there's a lot of focus on a lot of investment across the country and the world into algorithmic improvement,

00:54:22.260 into actually improving the computational power driving new AI algorithms.

00:54:27.080 And that's important.

00:54:27.960 But where I don't think we've invested enough is how to apply that AI, how to use that next generation of intelligence to apply it to their respective fields,

00:54:37.740 from health care to financial services to construction design.

00:54:40.680 And there you're talking about using skilled workers who are already in the state that don't have to be programming the next generation of AI.

00:54:47.300 We train the AI.

00:54:48.620 What I want to do is to train the human beings on how to use that AI and apply it to enhance their own productivity on their own terms.

00:54:57.020 And I think that last part is really important, Glenn, as we're headed to the future.

00:55:01.000 The future is coming whether we like it or not.

00:55:02.860 Do you want to be dragged by it or do you want to shape it?

00:55:04.940 And I want to be a leader who helps us shape it to harness the power of that.

00:55:09.680 So as governor, what do you do?

00:55:12.460 Yeah.

00:55:12.860 What do you do to encourage that to, you know, Ohio has a lot of blue collar jobs.

00:55:18.840 Sure, sure.

00:55:20.260 So I think one of the things we need to do is invest in workforce training and education and allow the private sector to already do it by getting out of the way.

00:55:26.200 Eliminate occupational licensing requirements.

00:55:28.180 But also, I want this to be the state where two things are true, Glenn.

00:55:32.000 And too often, even on the right, sometimes we make this an either or.

00:55:35.840 I want this to be the state where we say both of these paths are open.

00:55:39.040 I want Ohio to be the top state in the country when it comes to our universities.

00:55:42.960 For somebody who wants to become an engineer or a doctor or a computer programmer.

00:55:47.180 That's great.

00:55:47.800 That should be open to them here.

00:55:49.280 And that goes through a traditional bachelor's degree and maybe PhD degrees, too.

00:55:53.360 And that's great.

00:55:53.960 It's not that that's elite and bad.

00:55:55.720 That's that's a good thing.

00:55:56.960 But we also want to be the state that has two and one year and even six month or nine month vocational programs that train people to be an electrician or a welder or a builder and give them also in their respective fields.

00:56:11.960 Even the training needed know how to use that AI, how to use that generation of technology to apply it to their respective fields.

00:56:20.220 That's what true modernization looks like.

00:56:21.900 So I don't want to fall in this camp and say, oh, well, that technological revolution is for somebody else.

00:56:26.420 No.

00:56:26.760 How do we harness the fruits of that to actually improve our own lives, even in fields that weren't traditionally thought to necessarily be technologically forward fields?

00:56:36.520 I want to change that attitude.

00:56:38.480 And, you know, it's not either or.

00:56:39.920 It's not one is more elite than the other.

00:56:41.360 We're all elite in the way I look at it.

00:56:43.280 But I don't refer to the other professions as the trades.

00:56:46.100 I call them the professions because that's what they are.

00:56:48.520 They deserve the same degree of dignity and respect.

00:56:51.420 But at the same time, it's not going to be by chasing our past.

00:56:54.180 It is going to be by leading us to chase our future.

00:56:56.880 So I do think that requires a new generation of leadership.

00:56:59.640 And at the state level, it's a big part of why I'm stepping into what I see as a leadership vacuum.

00:57:03.820 So I think Donald Trump has ushered in a completely new era that is not even nobody even begins to understand it yet.

00:57:11.040 I mean, I think he's going to be remembered as our first real technology president.

00:57:15.340 And he is changing everything about this system.

00:57:18.660 And it's long needed to be changed.

00:57:20.560 But when he comes to, like, last night in the House, they passed a budget.

00:57:26.960 The budget really, I mean, I guess it's a step in the right direction.

00:57:30.880 But it's still growing, the deficit.

00:57:34.020 And, you know, it has some good things in it, but also has some other bad things.

00:57:38.160 You have Congressman Davidson from Ohio that voted against it last night.

00:57:43.040 And part of me is is with Massey and people like that are like, hey, you know what?

00:57:48.540 We've got to cut, cut, cut.

00:57:50.660 How do we get America or the people of Ohio or the Congress and the Senate to understand trillions of dollars need to be cut?

00:58:03.040 No more eating around the edges.

00:58:04.980 Trillions of dollars need to be cut.

00:58:06.980 How do we get there?

00:58:09.160 Well, the truth is, one of the paths is grow, grow, grow.

00:58:12.140 It goes to that spirit that you talked about.

00:58:14.180 That's where I think, as a great leader of a state, you can at least help in that regard, where if you're depressing economic growth, then your debt to GDP ratio becomes even worse because your GDP growth rates are lower.

00:58:25.860 So one of the areas to focus on is just robust economic growth through mass deregulation, through mass unlocking of private sector potential, through slashing and burning bureaucracy wherever necessary.

00:58:38.060 And that's one positive side.

00:58:39.300 On the other side, though, Glenn, and you raise a good point here, I would just say there are ways to rationalize the budget that actually lift people up in the process.

00:58:50.100 I'll give you one example, and I'm going to lead the way here in Ohio on this front is reattaching work requirements to welfare, Medicaid and other forms of aid.

00:59:02.600 I think it is not compassion.

00:59:04.800 It is cruelty to increase somebody's dependence on the government.

00:59:08.920 The way we're going to save our country is not through greater dependence on the government, but independence from it.

00:59:16.500 We're not victims.

00:59:17.800 We have this victimhood mentality that then justifies that dependence.

00:59:21.360 We're done with that victimhood culture.

00:59:23.380 We've got to move on.

00:59:24.080 We're victors, not victims.

00:59:25.760 We don't whine.

00:59:26.820 We win.

00:59:27.620 You help somebody stand up on their own two feet.

00:59:30.220 That's a great way.

00:59:31.260 You're looking at a lot of the spending in Medicaid, a lot of spending in welfare.

00:59:34.620 That's a great way to bring down spending.

00:59:36.500 But even more importantly, it is an even better way to help those Americans to actually realize the American dream rather than to be permanently dependent on a state that serves as a ceiling for what they're able to achieve in their lives.

00:59:50.020 And there are a lot of that does have to be done and led at the state level.

00:59:54.040 The federal government, there's a role to play.

00:59:56.020 But I think there's also an important role for what does a leader look like who has the spine to step up and actually do that?

01:00:02.800 Ohio is a state that doesn't have work requirements attached to Medicaid right now.

01:00:05.520 That needs to change.

01:00:06.880 And so that's the way I'm looking to lead is to bring back that culture of work, end the war on work.

01:00:12.220 And that does two things.

01:00:13.240 One is it enhances economic productivity and GDP growth.

01:00:16.980 The other thing it does is it brings down our debt and our spending.

01:00:20.460 But the third and most important thing it does is it brings back our sense of national spirit and self-worth and individual self-confidence.

01:00:29.020 For so many who have lost that in this culture of victimhood and entitlement and dependence on the government, it's time for us to graduate from the era of dependence and move back to our era of independence.

01:00:41.900 Think about that as a modern day declaration of independence from the government, a modern day Northwest ordinance centered right here in Ohio.

01:00:48.900 So that's where I want to lead us.

01:00:50.960 And I personally think, Glenn, a lot of politically homeless people, independents, libertarians, not just Republicans, maybe even some orphaned Reagan Democrats will come along with us for this ride.

01:01:01.340 And I think that's a good thing.

01:01:02.960 Vivek, you know, we met each other maybe five years ago and I really liked you then, but I wasn't sure.

01:01:09.400 I wanted to watch you for a while.

01:01:10.780 I know who you are and I'm not going to endorse you because I like you too much and, you know, to endorse.

01:01:16.940 But I will tell you, I am on your train.

01:01:19.640 I just think you would be great for Ohio.

01:01:23.440 And so it's an endorsement without being an endorsement because I don't want to jinx your candidacy.

01:01:28.980 But I appreciate that.

01:01:30.620 Best of luck.

01:01:31.240 That means a lot to me.

01:01:31.960 And we'll hopefully set a good example and learn some lessons from Texas as well.

01:01:35.220 Thank you.

01:01:36.260 All right.

01:01:36.620 Bye-bye.

01:01:36.940 Vivek Ramaswamy now running for governor.

01:01:39.960 You can find out all you need to know about him at Vivek.

01:01:43.960 Vivek4Ohio.com.

01:01:46.960 Vivek4Ohio.com.

01:01:48.500 Let me tell you about pre-born.

01:01:49.560 Abortion is a tragic part of our lives as Americans.

01:01:52.060 Even after overturning of Roe versus Wade, it continues to rob our children of the right to live.

01:01:57.020 What's even more devastating is that a majority of the women who get abortion say they would have chosen life if they just had the support.

01:02:03.540 And you would not believe how little it takes to turn somebody.

01:02:07.600 Pre-born's network of clinics saves 200 babies every day by offering free ultrasounds to expecting moms, doubling that baby's chance that the mom is going to choose life.

01:02:18.700 You could make the difference between the life and death of so many babies.

01:02:22.280 As abortion continues to rise, believe it or not, pre-born is expanding their life-affirming care in the darkest corners of our nation to help more hurting women and save more babies and moms.

01:02:33.140 If you have the means, would you consider a gift, maybe a leadership gift, to save babies in a big way?

01:02:38.960 Your tax-deductible donation of $15,000 would put a machine, a ultrasound machine, into one of their clinics in a really needy women's center and save I don't know how many lives in the years to come.

01:02:54.400 Donate.

01:02:54.820 Whatever you can.

01:02:56.080 Dial pound 250.

01:02:57.040 Say the keyword baby.

01:02:57.860 That's pound 250, keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com slash back.

01:03:02.520 That's preborn.com slash back.

01:03:04.900 A single heartbeat can echo across generations.

01:03:08.160 Sponsored by Preborn.

01:03:09.220 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:03:21.700 I like Vivek.

01:03:23.400 I do, too.

01:03:23.880 I think he's, this is a good role for him.

01:03:28.260 He seems to, you know, he's been on top of all this stuff for a long time.

01:03:34.460 So, I'm, I mean, you think he is, I wonder what his chances to win are.

01:03:39.980 I don't know.

01:03:40.320 Have you looked at that at all?

01:03:41.200 Yeah, there's no polls out against DeWine, but I would think really good.

01:03:48.380 I think people are tired of the same old, same old.

01:03:51.620 Isn't DeWine term limited?

01:03:52.680 No, I think he's running again, isn't he?

01:03:55.900 He's 78, I think, and he's running again.

01:04:01.500 Let's see.

01:04:02.100 Can he run again?

01:04:02.700 Let's see.

01:04:03.900 This, you know, I'm just, obviously this race is just beginning, so we haven't jumped into

01:04:07.280 too much.

01:04:07.700 He just announced.

01:04:11.240 Mike DeWine cannot run for more than two terms as governor.

01:04:13.840 Oh, okay.

01:04:15.320 But I will say, because I thought this was more of an open race.

01:04:19.220 Good.

01:04:19.480 Good.

01:04:21.460 But...

01:04:21.780 Vivek will have the name.

01:04:23.680 I mean, who are you going to get to run?

01:04:25.240 Really?

01:04:26.100 Ohio.

01:04:26.660 Who are you going to get better?

01:04:27.980 I don't know.

01:04:28.620 We'll have to see what the candidates are, but I mean, I think, you know, Vivek has a pretty

01:04:32.120 buttoned up vision of what he wants.

01:04:34.820 Oh, yeah.

01:04:35.200 Because he's expressed it, obviously, quite clearly.

01:04:37.900 He's really good.

01:04:38.280 Yeah.

01:04:38.620 For a long time.

01:04:39.440 Really good.

01:04:40.460 And in a time where tech is going to start competing against jobs, he has the right vision.

01:04:50.460 Let's use tech to create jobs. 0.97

01:04:52.820 Let's unleash people so we can create more jobs and grow our way out.

01:04:57.820 More in a minute.

01:04:58.500 You know, the one thing that stands out the most to me about American financing, more than

01:05:18.140 just about any other company that I talk about on this program, is that they had to prove

01:05:22.560 themselves to me.

01:05:23.540 They wanted to be on the air for a couple of years before I allowed them to come on the

01:05:28.000 air.

01:05:28.800 They're a mortgage company.

01:05:30.040 And this is back 2007.

01:05:31.680 And I'm like, yeah, I don't believe in mortgage companies. 0.53

01:05:33.800 You people are screwing everybody.

01:05:35.240 And you're going to see when the chickens come home to roost and and the mortgage thing is 0.88

01:05:40.700 just a scam and everybody finds out about it.

01:05:43.320 And they're like, no, Glenn, that's why we want.

01:05:45.120 We're not those people.

01:05:46.220 We don't work for the banks.

01:05:48.140 You know, our people are salary based, so they're they're not trying to jam you into some

01:05:53.180 sort of a loan.

01:05:54.900 They're not getting any.

01:05:56.400 You know, we don't get any bonuses for the banks.

01:05:58.100 We look for the best, most stable option for people.

01:06:01.860 And now they're saving people in this audience about eight hundred dollars a month.

01:06:05.680 You want to give yourself a raise.

01:06:07.060 You want the right mortgage.

01:06:08.360 You want to be able to refi American financing.

01:06:11.180 Eight hundred nine zero six twenty four forty.

01:06:13.180 They proved themselves.

01:06:14.660 They were fine in 2008.

01:06:16.760 Eight hundred nine zero six twenty four forty.

01:06:31.860 Tonight on the Wednesday night special on blaze TV, why President Trump must audit America's

01:06:50.440 gold reserves now, not just Fort Knox.

01:06:53.260 Elon Musk threw those shaking the swamp up and freaking people out.

01:06:58.040 And I'm loving every second of it while his team is working toward government transparency.

01:07:03.560 One of their next moves needs to be digging into perhaps the biggest financial secret in

01:07:09.020 U.S. history, the real status of America's gold.

01:07:13.580 It's your gold for almost 90 years.

01:07:18.260 America's gold reserve at Fort Knox has been locked away, unseen and mostly unverified.

01:07:23.640 The last official audit was over 70 years ago.

01:07:26.760 And I'm going to show you tonight.

01:07:27.760 I mean, it is it's amazing.

01:07:30.180 The pictures and the video that has come out there.

01:07:32.660 I mean, there's very little out there on Fort Knox.

01:07:36.600 But the last official audit was in the 1950s.

01:07:40.240 And it was I mean, it's a shell game.

01:07:44.060 It's incredible.

01:07:45.900 So what's really inside of Fort Knox?

01:07:49.380 Global markets are shifting.

01:07:50.880 Questions are mounting.

01:07:51.780 Now is the time for real transparency unless we don't have the gold.

01:07:56.200 You know, then we might want to keep it to ourself.

01:07:59.760 Let play this game for a little while longer.

01:08:02.840 We're going to show you the really murky history of America's gold from FDR's confiscation to

01:08:08.900 Nixon's break from the gold standard.

01:08:11.480 Oh, and also.

01:08:14.320 One of the last people that was in to see the gold.

01:08:18.560 You know who you can trust?

01:08:20.360 You know who I send in to Fort Knox to verify the gold is there?

01:08:23.820 Mitch McConnell.

01:08:25.440 Yeah, but they took they took one picture of Mitch McConnell with the gold.

01:08:28.880 So anyway, is all of our gold accounted for?

01:08:33.180 If not, what happens next?

01:08:34.680 Join me tonight for the full details on why Trump must audit Fort Knox gold reserve and the other gold reserves.

01:08:42.640 Kind of simultaneously.

01:08:44.760 I'll show you the shell game tonight at 9 p.m.

01:08:47.620 Eastern on blaze TV dot com and tomorrow 6 p.m.

01:08:50.560 Eastern and at YouTube dot com slash Glenn Beck.

01:08:55.280 Wow, that's my name.

01:08:56.760 That's weird.

01:08:57.420 OK, I want you to if you have a neck brace.

01:09:00.440 OK, I want you to just put it on you right now.

01:09:05.140 Otherwise, maybe you're driving.

01:09:06.600 I want you to push your head all the way back against because you're going to get whiplash on this one. 1.00

01:09:12.220 OK, but I tell you this story going to be like, oh, oh, I need to see a chiropractor and an attorney.

01:09:17.400 You can't sue me because I'm warning you right now.

01:09:21.200 Extreme whiplash. 0.76

01:09:23.340 You ready?

01:09:23.720 Hey, this is from Jeff Bezos.

01:09:29.740 I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning.

01:09:33.100 I am writing to let you know about a change coming to the Washington Post opinion pages.

01:09:38.860 We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars, personal liberties and free markets.

01:09:47.920 Ow, ow, ow. 1.00

01:09:50.160 Let's do look up.

01:09:51.160 Look up an accident attorney.

01:09:52.580 OK, we'll cover there are other topics of as well, of course, but viewpoints opposing those two pillars will be left to be published by others.

01:10:03.260 Hold on.

01:10:03.920 Think about that statement for a second.

01:10:05.800 I know.

01:10:06.640 Not only is it crazy whiplash, it's so far.

01:10:09.100 I don't even think I'm for that.

01:10:11.600 I mean, it's like, wait, what?

01:10:13.080 There are definitely institutions, for example, the blaze that would not be like, oh, well, we hate free markets all that often.

01:10:19.480 I mean, I'm sure there's some people here that believe that.

01:10:21.320 I don't know.

01:10:21.660 But I mean, generally speaking, it's a conservative place.

01:10:24.060 But the Washington Post is supposed to be, you know, a journalistic institution.

01:10:28.800 You'd think you'd have other sides.

01:10:30.980 He's talking about the opinion page.

01:10:32.760 Yep.

01:10:32.940 First of all.

01:10:33.400 OK, and listen to his explanation of this.

01:10:37.220 There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly.

01:10:42.980 So he's admitting it.

01:10:45.540 Might have seen it as a service to bring the readers to the reader's doorstep every morning.

01:10:49.960 A broad based opinion section that sought to cover all views.

01:10:53.580 Today, the Internet does that job.

01:10:56.240 OK, so you're saying he's not a monopoly because the Internet's there to do that.

01:10:59.320 I am taking a position.

01:11:00.860 Right.

01:11:01.140 I am of America and for America and proud to be so.

01:11:07.560 Ow. 0.99

01:11:08.560 Ow. 0.99

01:11:08.960 We used to beg for just this.

01:11:12.500 I know.

01:11:13.140 Just this.

01:11:14.040 Does somebody even say that?

01:11:15.680 Again, I don't know that we can.

01:11:16.840 Have you been injured by a story by Jeff Bezos?

01:11:21.240 Better call Saul.

01:11:24.280 That we in the proof is in the pudding here, obviously.

01:11:28.040 Oh, yeah.

01:11:28.360 Like, we got to see if they actually live up to these standards.

01:11:31.020 But this is a positive announcement, at least.

01:11:34.000 Right?

01:11:34.540 Yeah.

01:11:35.080 Right, Glenn?

01:11:35.600 Listen to this.

01:11:36.380 I am.

01:11:36.780 I'm of America and for America and proud to be so.

01:11:40.640 Our country did not get here by being typical.

01:11:43.360 And a big part of America's success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else.

01:11:49.840 Freedom is ethical.

01:11:51.000 It minimizes coercion.

01:11:54.380 Coercion.

01:11:54.980 The people that have just been talking to us about ESG.

01:11:58.360 It minimizes coercion and practical.

01:12:03.140 It drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.

01:12:06.960 I offered David Shipley, who I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter.

01:12:11.740 I suggested to him that if the answer wasn't hell yes, then it had to be no.

01:12:17.400 After careful consideration, David decided to step away.

01:12:22.720 So it wasn't hell yes?

01:12:24.340 Yeah.

01:12:25.700 Did it have hell in it?

01:12:28.020 This is a significant shift.

01:12:30.280 It won't be easy.

01:12:31.300 And it will require 100% commitment.

01:12:34.060 I respect his decision.

01:12:35.700 We'll be searching for a new opinion editor to own this new direction.

01:12:39.780 Oh, please.

01:12:40.520 Please appoint me.

01:12:41.780 Just for the fun of it.

01:12:43.280 Just for fun.

01:12:43.960 Just to see the entertainment.

01:12:45.140 Yeah.

01:12:45.360 Just entertainment.

01:12:46.140 You'll fire me in a month. 0.99

01:12:47.240 I don't really want the damn job. 0.99

01:12:48.740 Okay. 0.99

01:12:48.900 But, oh, please.

01:12:50.440 Just for entertainment.

01:12:51.580 Please.

01:12:52.420 It's interesting because, I mean, the people that write for the Washington Post, you'll have to fire almost all of them.

01:12:58.860 Yes.

01:12:59.240 I mean, there are a couple people that would, you know, Jim Garrity, I think, writes for the Washington Post.

01:13:04.320 Like, Jim could stay.

01:13:05.720 There's a couple people who could have been.

01:13:08.000 There are probably a few people in the timeout corner that maybe they can bring back in.

01:13:11.320 Yeah.

01:13:11.600 Yeah.

01:13:11.780 But, I mean, there's not a lot of their current writers that would qualify for this approach.

01:13:17.520 To say the least.

01:13:18.560 They have a lot of Republicans that write for them.

01:13:22.540 I'm confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America.

01:13:27.660 Ow! 1.00

01:13:28.380 I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion.

01:13:36.040 Doc, I can barely move my head.

01:13:38.460 I can't turn.

01:13:39.620 I can't turn at all.

01:13:41.160 I'm excited for us together to fill that void.

01:13:44.480 Now, that sentence is just funny.

01:13:46.040 That was comic relief.

01:13:47.000 Like, I'm excited for us together to fill that void. 1.00

01:13:50.580 Right now, they're all like, you son of a bitch. 1.00

01:13:52.720 Oh, yeah. 1.00

01:13:53.300 They're already off the stuff.

01:13:53.980 I mean, they are all typing their.

01:13:56.100 This is a good whiplash, though, right?

01:13:57.660 Like, I want this injury a little bit.

01:13:59.480 It's nice to see that.

01:14:00.620 I just hope it's real.

01:14:01.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:14:02.920 I mean, look, when you change an opinion, there's two ways to do it.

01:14:09.440 One, it's over years.

01:14:11.220 And you're slowly putting things together.

01:14:13.820 And then there's one day that you go, you know what?

01:14:17.000 I believe in America.

01:14:18.140 And everybody's like, of course you do.

01:14:19.780 You've been saying this for a long time.

01:14:21.180 You've just denied it forever.

01:14:22.960 But you've been that way for a long time.

01:14:24.940 You've been moving that way.

01:14:26.020 No whiplash there.

01:14:27.260 And then there's the other where you're like, I'm Satan.

01:14:31.580 And I believe Jesus is the answer.

01:14:35.440 And you're like, wait, what?

01:14:36.940 Wow, what a turnaround.

01:14:38.100 You know, that one's kind of shocking.

01:14:39.940 I mean, we're seeing a lot of that these days.

01:14:42.620 And I can give you some examples that you don't want to hear.

01:14:45.760 But I will.

01:14:46.460 But with Bezos, I mean, look, there's a lot I have problems with, with Bezos.

01:14:53.700 Really?

01:14:54.400 I think his new wife is wonderful.

01:14:56.560 I'm sure she's wonderful.

01:14:57.400 She's delightful, I'm sure.

01:14:58.860 I think she's made him a better man.

01:15:02.120 That being said, the guy who built Amazon obviously has some friendly relationship with capitalism.

01:15:08.900 You might not like Amazon.

01:15:11.360 There's a lot of problems with it.

01:15:13.320 You can list them.

01:15:15.000 But fundamentally, the man built one of the most impressive capitalistic enterprises that's ever been created.

01:15:21.480 Yes, I agree with that.

01:15:22.640 I totally agree with that.

01:15:24.400 But it is just a little bit less of American capitalism and a little, leans a little too close to Chinese capitalism.

01:15:34.060 I mean, I don't think that's accurate.

01:15:37.340 There are elements that I think you could point to.

01:15:39.900 Right, the public-private partnerships, you know, that we've just seen.

01:15:43.180 Some of that I don't like, I will admit.

01:15:45.200 But I will say.

01:15:45.780 And, you know, also the, hey, you know what?

01:15:48.040 We're only going to take 70% of your profit.

01:15:51.440 You know, you just come on to Amazon.

01:15:53.960 We'll sell it for you.

01:15:54.760 It's 70%.

01:15:55.400 We've done nothing.

01:15:56.540 But we're going to make sure everybody has it.

01:15:58.080 And by the way, if it really starts to sell, we're watching these algorithms.

01:16:01.200 And we'll reinvent your product.

01:16:02.920 And we'll put you out of business.

01:16:04.040 It's quite a statement to say, we'll sell it for you.

01:16:06.320 And we've done nothing.

01:16:07.740 I think they've done something if they'll sell it for you.

01:16:10.680 They bring the audience.

01:16:12.360 They bring a lot of people to the table.

01:16:14.980 And again, I am not saying it's perfect.

01:16:16.840 You know what?

01:16:17.300 Look, if you're Macy's and you want to sell, you know, polo products, that's great.

01:16:22.500 Do you take that big of a share?

01:16:25.940 Well, okay, maybe, because, you know, Macy's is the only place you can get it.

01:16:30.760 Okay?

01:16:31.520 Maybe.

01:16:32.160 Maybe.

01:16:32.760 But you don't also go, hey, this polo thing is a pretty good idea.

01:16:38.360 I want you to go in.

01:16:39.620 I want you to take their cologne, crack the coat on that, put it in a lighter green bottle,

01:16:46.380 and let's make the person with a polo mallet ride a dog.

01:16:52.300 And let's sell them.

01:16:53.560 And then we'll put it as Amazon's best pick.

01:16:55.940 No, I get it.

01:16:56.980 There are issues.

01:16:57.860 We'll bury the Ralph Lauren people.

01:16:59.400 And there are a lot of small business people who have issues with this.

01:17:02.100 However, a lot of them still list their stuff there because they're able to get.

01:17:05.060 Because they have no choice.

01:17:05.680 Well, that's not true.

01:17:06.520 Of course, you can sell through a lot.

01:17:08.380 There's a lot of marketplaces out there you can sell on.

01:17:11.600 You're not on Amazon.

01:17:13.000 Do you know how much you walk away?

01:17:14.080 I know, because I know people who have started great companies.

01:17:17.940 And then they're like, God, I've got to go to Amazon.

01:17:20.080 I have to sell it on Amazon.

01:17:21.300 Why?

01:17:21.540 Because they can't get the distribution wide enough without out.

01:17:26.680 Again, what was that about?

01:17:27.400 Amazon doing nothing?

01:17:28.580 They're giving you the distribution.

01:17:30.560 No, no. 0.92

01:17:30.580 And I'm saying, look, they're greedy as hell. 0.95

01:17:35.100 But fine. 0.96

01:17:36.040 Fine.

01:17:36.780 Okay.

01:17:36.940 But they also, because I know people who have been in this situation without Amazon, if they see you're successful, they'll reinvent your business and put you out of business.

01:17:48.760 And their Amazon Essentials is part of that, right?

01:17:52.040 Like where they create their own products and sell them.

01:17:54.800 And a lot of times sell them cheaper than the other.

01:17:57.160 Again, I'm not saying it's perfect, but again, when people are saying, hey, I can't do this, I have to go to Amazon, it indicates that Amazon is bringing value to them.

01:18:05.300 Yes, I understand that.

01:18:06.340 But the only thing different between China and Amazon in many ways is you don't have to sleep with Eric Swalwell.

01:18:17.540 Okay.

01:18:18.600 There's no Amazon person going, oh, geez, I got to sleep with that dude.

01:18:22.640 You know, that's really the only difference.

01:18:24.260 I mean, they're just taking the idea.

01:18:25.620 There's no other differences.

01:18:26.600 I get that there are also problems.

01:18:28.420 I grant you that.

01:18:29.360 Can I give you another example of maybe a whiplash?

01:18:31.520 Do we have time for this?

01:18:32.260 How much do I mean?

01:18:32.760 Okay.

01:18:33.420 New book.

01:18:34.560 New book.

01:18:35.280 New book coming out.

01:18:35.960 Okay, hang on.

01:18:36.380 Let me just brace my neck because it already hurts from the Washington Post.

01:18:40.840 Okay.

01:18:41.100 I think this is a fascinating one, though.

01:18:42.460 Okay.

01:18:42.800 Okay.

01:18:43.420 Uh-huh.

01:18:44.020 The book is called Original Sin.

01:18:45.880 Uh-huh.

01:18:46.440 President Biden's decline, its cover-up, and his disastrous choice to run again.

01:18:52.760 Okay, please tell me.

01:18:54.960 Bye.

01:18:55.100 I don't think I want to know who wrote this.

01:18:57.260 Bye.

01:18:58.000 Uh-huh.

01:18:59.620 CNN's Jake Tapper.

01:19:00.820 Ow! 1.00

01:19:01.160 Ow! 1.00

01:19:02.300 Ow! 1.00

01:19:03.640 Ow! 1.00

01:19:04.040 Ow! 1.00

01:19:04.960 I thought that might be your reaction.

01:19:08.120 If you're a personal injury attorney, call me now, please.

01:19:13.800 There's more to that one, though.

01:19:14.960 We should talk about it a little bit deeper because I don't think it's as cut and dried

01:19:18.300 as the initial understandable reaction.

01:19:21.200 I need a chiropractic employee right now. 0.98

01:19:25.240 I need somebody on staff that just can come in and adjust our necks.

01:19:29.180 You know, we read the news, we're like, okay, all right, I can do the next story.

01:19:33.660 All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

01:19:34.640 Your dog needs good nutrition in his life, but his kibble food?

01:19:37.820 Yeah, that's dead food.

01:19:39.160 You need something that brings his food back to life, and that something is Rough Greens.

01:20:01.960 function, all thanks to the live nutrients that you've added to his or her diet.

01:20:38.140 Smoother than a snake on oil.

01:20:40.640 Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word female than the word work.

01:20:46.420 Glenn Beck will be right back.

01:20:51.340 So, Glenn, there is a new book, I just mentioned it, called Original Sin, President Biden's

01:21:12.400 decline, its cover-up, and its disastrous choice to run again.

01:21:15.020 Jake Tapper is the main author.

01:21:18.480 And I will say, I have a conservative feed on X, you know, mostly negative reactions

01:21:25.940 to this, pointing out at least once or twice where Tapper was like dismissive of the cognitive

01:21:31.200 abilities.

01:21:31.760 I didn't watch his coverage all that closely, but at least once he was like, oh, it's just

01:21:35.960 a stutter or something. 0.99

01:21:37.020 He's ridiculous. 1.00

01:21:38.120 Anyway. 0.99

01:21:38.380 So, okay, fine.

01:21:40.560 The other author on this book is Alex Thompson.

01:21:44.080 Alex Thompson was basically the only mainstream journalist who consistently asked questions

01:21:50.100 about Biden's cognitive decline throughout his presidency.

01:21:53.760 I mean, a lot of questions pushed hard, constantly was being rebuffed by the White House.

01:21:59.880 We cited his coverage several times here, on Sue Does America as well.

01:22:05.540 A guy who really legitimately, for a mainstream reporter, did a really good job on this particular

01:22:10.320 issue.

01:22:11.460 I feel like a conservative, Glenn Beck could write a book about the cognitive decline of

01:22:15.800 the president.

01:22:16.680 But number one, you probably wouldn't get access to all these White House officials.

01:22:20.260 And number two, the media would ignore it.

01:22:22.980 It's less likely they will ignore it with Jake Tapper attached to it.

01:22:26.860 And as a person, and this might be my weakness here, but as a person who is abnormally interested

01:22:33.720 in holding the people accountable who were complicit in this cover-up, this is the president

01:22:39.600 of the United States who had no brain power and they covered it up for four years.

01:22:43.680 And it's massively important that we find out how that happened, who's responsible for

01:22:48.280 it, and hold them accountable.

01:22:49.900 I think at the very least, this has the potential to give us something positive.

01:22:53.760 I don't think Alex Thompson's going to write a book, judging by his record during the time,

01:22:59.040 that would be, oh, we're making excuses for the Bidens and the Democrats.

01:23:03.680 I really do think there's at least a chance we get something interesting that might lead

01:23:07.600 to a congressional investigation or something that can help hold these people accountable.

01:23:12.260 Am I too optimistic on that?

01:23:14.840 It's cute.

01:23:15.960 Okay.

01:23:16.700 I mean, it's cute.

01:23:18.380 It's a little dismissive, I feel like, in a way.

01:23:19.680 No, I don't mean it.

01:23:20.400 It's the slightest way.

01:23:21.260 No, it's a cute, not in the slightest way, in a massive way.

01:23:25.900 Okay.

01:23:26.720 It's pretty dismissive there.

01:23:28.360 It's a cute little effort you're making.

01:23:29.940 I see your point, but I'm sorry.

01:23:33.240 I don't believe that Jake Tapper was clueless in this.

01:23:38.820 Well, we'll have to see.

01:23:40.060 I think, you know, if he did that repeatedly, he should hold himself responsible, too.

01:23:44.320 I don't know if that will happen.

01:23:45.520 Yeah, let's see that in the book.

01:23:46.720 This is Glenn Beck.

01:24:16.720 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.

01:24:25.700 Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.

01:24:31.060 Stay in your ground when times get dark.

01:24:33.760 Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

01:24:37.760 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:24:41.640 And this is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:49.420 Hello, America.

01:24:50.740 So tonight at 9 o'clock, my Wednesday night special goes into Fort Knox and the scam of our gold.

01:24:58.560 Actually, I think, I hope all of our gold is in the reserves.

01:25:04.220 It's supposed to be in four different places.

01:25:06.140 One in Fort Knox.

01:25:07.560 One in Denver.

01:25:08.560 I think West Point is another gold reserve.

01:25:12.800 And then we're supposed to have our money down on, you know, underneath the Wall Street area in the tip of southern Manhattan in underneath the Federal Reserve.

01:25:25.760 OK, I'd like simultaneous teams to go in at the same time with cameras and examine all of it.

01:25:33.220 But you won't believe what a scam this appears to be when you just are asking, hey, can we see the gold?

01:25:40.460 Nobody's really seen it since the 1950s.

01:25:44.120 And even then, people saw the gold and they're like, that's not gold.

01:25:48.180 Look at that behind there.

01:25:49.260 That's not.

01:25:50.140 I think it's all there because if it's not, we're in deep trouble.

01:25:54.960 But this week, you know, you had the Treasury Secretary said, anybody can ask, any senator can get on the phone and ask, well, Mike Lee's been on the phone with him several times.

01:26:07.420 And they're all like, no, today, today's not a good day.

01:26:12.760 Well, what about tomorrow?

01:26:14.060 You know what?

01:26:14.740 Tomorrow will be good, but let's try it maybe next never.

01:26:20.340 Then we can get you it.

01:26:21.480 I mean, it's just they don't let him in.

01:26:23.620 So what's going to happen?

01:26:25.840 Also, the House just passed their budget.

01:26:30.120 And well, I'm glad it passed with the tax cuts.

01:26:36.980 I'm really pissed off because it's there's no there's no.

01:26:41.340 I'm sorry.

01:26:42.240 Our cupboards are not bare.

01:26:43.640 We need to cut at least a trillion dollars, if not two, from this budget.

01:26:50.220 Why can't we just go back to, I don't know, the days of pre-COVID?

01:26:55.700 We did that.

01:26:56.560 You know, we could balance our budget pretty quickly.

01:26:59.680 No, we can't do that.

01:27:01.040 That's insanity.

01:27:02.740 I want the RAINS Act.

01:27:04.580 And Mike Lee has been talking about this for a long time.

01:27:07.720 But I think it's time has come.

01:27:09.500 We'll talk about that in 60 seconds.

01:27:11.060 First, you and I recognize the importance of farmers.

01:27:13.640 Farmers and ranchers in America.

01:27:15.440 Shock of all shocks.

01:27:17.900 Meat doesn't come in its original form in a styrofoam packet.

01:27:21.780 It's weird.

01:27:22.960 Sadly, people don't understand that.

01:27:25.560 And fewer farms and ranches are staying in business every single year.

01:27:29.940 More and more go out of business because, well, this is my personal opinion.

01:27:34.400 The opinions of Glenn Beck are not necessarily those of Good Ranchers.

01:27:37.620 Because our meat packing plants, the Cabal, is basically a meat mafia.

01:27:44.660 And they're screwing Americans and American ranchers. 1.00

01:27:47.320 But that's just me.

01:27:48.160 Every cut of meat from Good Ranchers, beef, chicken, pork, all raised right here in the U.S.

01:27:53.960 Free from hidden additives like antibiotics, hormones, or even seed oils.

01:27:57.260 It's just plain old American meat.

01:27:59.620 And you'll be upholding the values of tradition.

01:28:01.680 Because when you shop with Good Ranchers, you're directly supporting local farms and ranches here in the United States.

01:28:08.100 These are the people who have been feeding Americans for generations now.

01:28:11.260 I don't know.

01:28:11.880 Maybe we should keep it that way.

01:28:29.120 Delivered.

01:28:30.200 Well, hello to our good friend, Senator Mike Lee.

01:28:33.840 Mike, how are you, sir?

01:28:35.480 Doing great.

01:28:36.200 It's good to be with you as always.

01:28:37.160 Yeah.

01:28:38.380 So let's start with the gold thing, first of all.

01:28:42.000 Are you going to put a call in to the Treasury and just say, hey, I'm glad that you now say it's so easy for a senator to go in and look at the gold?

01:28:50.940 I'd like to do that now.

01:28:53.460 Oh, heck yeah.

01:28:54.840 And look, it's been a few years since I've made that request, but we've got a new sheriff in town.

01:28:59.440 Our new energy secretary, our new president are open to this.

01:29:02.940 In the past, they've told me to pound sand.

01:29:05.240 It wasn't just today isn't a good day.

01:29:06.940 They told me I could not go.

01:29:08.460 Not then, not ever.

01:29:10.120 And that's BS.

01:29:11.160 And, you know, perhaps I do need to bring along an assistant or a mouse, as you put it, named Glenn.

01:29:18.600 Yeah.

01:29:19.040 Well, that would be great, Mike.

01:29:20.120 I'd love to do that with you.

01:29:21.120 But I just really want somebody that I trust to actually look at the gold and be able to look at all of it.

01:29:28.940 Not just, I mean, back tonight, I'm going to show people it is amazing.

01:29:33.280 There are all these cages or all these rooms with gold.

01:29:37.060 In the 1950s, I think they only opened three of them.

01:29:40.420 We don't even know how many there are, but I think it's over 20 for sure, just in Fort Knox.

01:29:45.100 They only opened three of them.

01:29:46.680 And then they counted up and across, did the math, pulled out three gold bars, did a sample test of all of them.

01:29:55.260 In the 1970s, they only opened one room to let people see.

01:30:00.840 That's not verifying our gold.

01:30:03.620 That's not an audit.

01:30:04.840 And most of the video footage that I saw from that visit in the 1970s, which is the most recent one I've seen, it looked to me like mostly a lot of fanfare about the door.

01:30:15.800 I mean, there's this giant door that's like 10 feet thick and about 10 guys it took to operate all the wheels to open it.

01:30:23.760 But, you know, there wasn't a lot of time spent on the gold, very little time spent actually inspecting it, testing it, making sure it was there, that it was what it purported to be.

01:30:33.080 That's one of the many reasons why the American people, as our government has gotten bigger, as it's gotten more expensive, as it's gotten more intrusive, as it's gotten more, frankly, dishonest.

01:30:42.600 People don't trust it and they want verification.

01:30:44.760 And this is important for the full faith and credit of the United States government.

01:30:49.100 It is important that people know that we have what we say we have.

01:30:52.700 The only problem is, Mike, and I honestly, I wrestle with this.

01:30:55.380 Because we go in and you find out that there's the gold's not there or the gold has been rehypothecated, which I explain in tonight's show.

01:31:05.400 You find out any of these really nasty things.

01:31:08.520 That's not good for America.

01:31:10.300 That could be a collapse overnight.

01:31:12.460 Am I overthinking this?

01:31:13.940 No, no, no, you're exactly right.

01:31:15.720 Look, there are two rules in life that everyone needs to know.

01:31:18.420 Number one, a good way to end any party, or at least the fun at any party, is to use the word rehypothecation.

01:31:25.880 Number two, a good way to end the trust in any government is to inject the word rehypothecation into their gold reserves.

01:31:35.980 That's going to end a lot of the trust that people might have in the financial stability of that country and its monetary system.

01:31:42.840 And so I think that's a very good question that we need to ask when we visit Fort Knox together.

01:31:48.660 Yeah.

01:31:50.040 So, Mike, let me talk to you about what the House did.

01:31:54.360 You know, there were a few people that stood up and said, no, I'm not putting my name behind it.

01:32:00.220 It passed.

01:32:01.340 So Donald Trump did get his tax cuts and everything that, you know, he wanted.

01:32:05.640 But we didn't get what I really wanted, and that is a Republican Party with a backbone that says, we're serious this time about cutting.

01:32:15.420 They passed an almost $90 trillion 10-year bill, but I think it was like $1.4 trillion in cutting. 0.83

01:32:26.360 That's ridiculous.

01:32:28.360 For $90 trillion, you could only find less than 1% to cut? 0.99

01:32:34.180 It's insulting.

01:32:36.380 Yeah, that seems a little bit anemic for what is needed here.

01:32:41.740 Now, if they start, one could say, I suppose, that it is a good start.

01:32:46.400 But remember, this is not the budget.

01:32:48.500 The Senate still would have to act on it.

01:32:51.240 And I personally prefer a much more aggressive approach and would much rather see a more aggressive approach like that.

01:32:58.580 It's been discussed extensively by my friend and colleague from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson.

01:33:03.600 Senator Ron Johnson has pointed out that if we just went back to pre-COVID spending levels and then made upward adjustments for inflation and population increase since COVID with respect to Social Security and Medicare,

01:33:19.640 that we could get very, very close to balance, we could be at balance within just a few years, like two, three years.

01:33:27.720 So why not take a more aggressive approach like that?

01:33:31.160 Why not use the budget as an opportunity to set that plan, set that predicate to just say we're not doing this anymore because we can't afford it,

01:33:38.220 and it's going to shut our country and our economy down if we keep messing with this.

01:33:43.040 So why is that not being taken seriously?

01:33:46.980 Well, OK, so there are a lot of reasons.

01:33:50.260 A lot of people are eager to point out, look, House Republicans have a tough.

01:33:55.100 They've got only, you know, depending on the day, the phase of the moon, the day of the week.

01:34:00.500 They've only got that one, two or three seat majority cushion, and there are a lot of variances of opinion.

01:34:06.760 But this is exactly the kind of moment when we need leadership.

01:34:09.340 We need bold people to just stand up and say, no, we're not doing this.

01:34:12.680 We're going to be more aggressive about it.

01:34:14.960 There's still opportunity to do that.

01:34:16.940 This is not the end of the process.

01:34:19.000 We're still very near the beginning of the process.

01:34:21.080 And I personally hope that the Ron Johnson approach will gain more appeal and more of that will get injected into whatever ends up getting passed.

01:34:28.680 You know, I was kind of excited, you know, about a month ago.

01:34:32.320 I thought, wait a minute, we might even be able to get the Reigns Act, which is something people either don't know what it is or they've heard it for, you know, the last 10 or 12 years.

01:34:41.900 And, you know, honestly, maybe it just needs to be called the we're going to do a lot of really cool free stuff for the American People Act and we'll get passed.

01:34:50.000 Explain what the Reigns Act is.

01:34:53.160 And do we have a chance of actually getting because that would fix almost all of our problems?

01:35:00.560 Yes.

01:35:01.060 Yes, it would.

01:35:02.120 The Reigns Act bottom line is that it requires what the Constitution already mandates.

01:35:07.640 In Article one, sections one and seven, we read that you cannot make a federal law without Congress and that to pass a federal law that requires a couple of things.

01:35:16.820 First, bicameral passage, meaning passage of the same bill in the House and in the Senate.

01:35:22.620 Secondly, you have to present that to the president who can then sign it, veto it, or acquiesce to it.

01:35:28.520 Now, that should be simple, right?

01:35:31.040 Because Article one, sections one and seven makes that clear.

01:35:34.080 And yet for the last 85 years or so, Congress has been in this death spiral of delegating its lawmaking powers.

01:35:40.900 In short, we will say things like, well, we shall have good law in Area X and we hereby delegate to Agency Y the power to make good law in that area.

01:35:50.400 That's nonsense.

01:35:52.020 That makes the work easier for members of Congress and it insulates members of Congress from political accountability.

01:35:56.960 But even more, does it not violate my right to representation?

01:36:02.980 No taxation, no taxation without representation.

01:36:07.000 A hundred percent, because these people who make most of your laws measured by weight, volume, regulatory compliance costs, you name it, are now made by men and women, not of our own choosing. 0.84

01:36:17.780 This is a real problem.

01:36:19.320 Remember what Madison said in Federalist 62?

01:36:21.640 Of course I do.

01:36:22.060 He said, in effect, he said, it'll be of little avail to the American people that their laws may be written by men of their own choosing.

01:36:28.280 If those laws be so voluminous, complex, and ever-changing, they can't know from one day to the next what the law says and what it requires.

01:36:34.300 We don't live in that dystopian nightmare.

01:36:36.200 That's what I remember.

01:36:37.600 Hundred thousand pages a year is what these bureaucratic pinheads put out every year. 0.99

01:36:42.360 And not only are they so ever-changing, you can't know what the law says from one day to the next.

01:36:46.560 They're not even written by men and women of our own choosing.

01:36:49.000 This is tyranny of the sort that would have made King George III blush with envy.

01:36:55.560 These guys are tyrants, and we've got to take it back.

01:36:59.540 It is Congress's fault.

01:37:01.020 Congress must fix that.

01:37:02.620 Congress may fix it and must fix it by passing the RAINS Act.

01:37:05.780 Okay, so give me four things, these four things that are now in the RAINS Act.

01:37:09.740 It includes the new defense for individuals, which means?

01:37:15.620 Yeah, okay, so the affirmative defense for individuals.

01:37:18.180 If you are sued, remember, these laws put out by the bureaucratic pinheads, if you violate them, they can put you in prison.

01:37:25.240 They can fine you millions of dollars.

01:37:27.080 They can shut down your business.

01:37:28.920 The new provision of the RAINS Act that I inserted last year would allow an individual who had one of these enforced against him or her to raise as an affirmative defense, hey, I wasn't on notice.

01:37:41.320 You have to be adequately placed on notice.

01:37:43.460 It's one of the hallmark characteristics of due process.

01:37:45.680 You're placed adequately on notice as to what your obligation is.

01:37:48.600 And the way you need to be placed on notice is that something is passed by both the houses of Congress and then given to the president for a signature.

01:37:56.680 And if you can point out that the affirmative legal obligations in that regulation were not evident on the face of any statute passed by Congress, then you could use that as a defense and you can be let off the hook for that.

01:38:10.780 This is as it should be.

01:38:12.180 But currently, you can go to prison or have your business shut down if you don't comply with whatever the bureaucratic can tell you you have to do.

01:38:18.860 Right. And this is where it gets scary, because show me the person, I'll show you the crime.

01:38:23.200 There's so much on the books that you don't even know that they can just put you away for.

01:38:28.360 Correct?

01:38:29.640 No, that's exactly right.

01:38:31.160 I tell some stories that came out of a book about 10 years ago called Our Lost Constitution.

01:38:35.360 Yep.

01:38:35.660 It tells some stories about, among other things, a father and son construction duo who were building houses in Florida, Escambia Bay.

01:38:45.780 They ran afoul of one of these regulations.

01:38:47.560 They were not on notice of it.

01:38:49.160 They both ended up serving prison time just for clearing some land.

01:38:53.100 They hadn't even built anything on it yet.

01:38:55.240 They started to clear some land to get ready to dig a foundation for some homes.

01:39:00.080 They had no reason to believe they were violating any regulation.

01:39:03.500 But unbeknownst to them, some bureaucratic pinhead had designated that a wetland area, even though it didn't have any visible wetland characteristics.

01:39:11.600 And they went to prison for it.

01:39:13.180 This is exactly the kind of thing the Rains Act would protect you from.

01:39:16.320 Also, we're running out of time.

01:39:18.800 I don't know how much time.

01:39:19.520 Do you have a few more minutes, Mike?

01:39:21.820 Yeah.

01:39:22.020 Okay, let me take a one-minute break, and then I want to come back with the other parts of it.

01:39:26.000 Right to sue, the Liberty Act, and deregulatory actions that are exempted from it, all in the Rains Act.

01:39:33.300 This is the key and should be included with the passage of whatever they're going to pass in the Senate and the House.

01:39:40.560 We'll talk about that coming up in just a second.

01:39:42.000 First, Cozy Earth, you don't usually use the words luxury and affordable in the same sentence, but Cozy Earth has made that possible.

01:39:49.780 When you think about betting that you might find in some celebrity's house, for instance, you usually don't assume that they bought those things for a price that you'd be comfortable paying for, right?

01:39:59.360 Unless it's Cozy Earth.

01:40:01.460 Cozy Earth, it is absolute luxury betting.

01:40:06.940 They're bamboo sheets.

01:40:08.260 I've never felt bamboo, ever, you know, cloth.

01:40:13.220 I think a bamboo is, you know, something you just don't want.

01:40:16.140 Well, somebody that, if you had a problem with a neighbor, let's say, somebody who was nefarious might go in the middle of night and just plant bamboo someplace in their backyard, and it would grow uncontrollably until the end of time.

01:40:30.280 I wouldn't do that, but some might do that, and you might think of bamboo that way.

01:40:35.520 I don't think of bamboo as sheets or bath towels or pajamas.

01:40:39.660 It is the greatest fabric ever.

01:40:42.920 Check out their pajamas, their bath sheets, also their Cozy Earth bedding products.

01:41:05.520 So, you know, we've been talking about Doge gutting the administration, and the RAINS Act is the way to do it and stop all of this over-regulation and stop the growth of these agencies.

01:41:27.160 So, the new defense for individuals is in the RAINS Act, the right to sue, people can stop enforcement, and if an agency has made this major rule without getting congressional approval.

01:41:38.080 And what does the Liberty Act part of it do, Mike?

01:41:41.400 Okay, so the Liberty Act part of it, added by the representative Kat Kamek, the House sponsor of the legislation, is the part that would extend this also to agency guidance documents.

01:41:54.360 Sometimes agencies might be expected, in the event the RAINS Act passed, to try to get around the provisions of the RAINS Act by saying, well, this was just a guidance document.

01:42:03.320 This wasn't actually a regulation.

01:42:06.040 So, she would extend it to that as well, and I think that is a good addition.

01:42:09.720 Okay, and then this is a really good part, deregulation.

01:42:15.100 Yes. So, deregulation across the board, again, this refers to the overall trust of the RAINS Act, which is to say that our laws should be written by men and women of our own choosing, people who are elected.

01:42:30.660 You cannot serve in the United States Senate or in the United States House of Representatives without standing for election at regular intervals.

01:42:38.100 Every two years in the case of representatives, every six years in the case of senators.

01:42:41.940 So, this puts that back in their hands.

01:42:44.100 And then, there's another provision that is related to this, that is part of the new RAINS Act that we added last year, which says that if you see something that comes up in a regulation,

01:42:56.380 You can bring an affirmative case, you can bring a private right of action in court to enjoin the enforcement of a particular regulatory provision against you, again, based on the theory that it hasn't been enacted by Congress.

01:43:13.860 This ought to be common sense. It is common sense. It's already part of the Constitution.

01:43:17.860 It's just a part of the Constitution that's for reasons I cannot entirely fathom. The Supreme Court and consequently the lower federal courts have been utterly unwilling to enforce.

01:43:28.420 In fact, they even have a doctrine about this, a doctrine that recognizes it's a problem. It's called the non-delegation doctrine.

01:43:34.320 The problem is it's toothless. The problem is that for nearly a century, they have, while acknowledging that the lawmaking task within the federal government can't be delegated outside of Congress, they refuse to enforce it.

01:43:52.380 Because as long as there's some intelligible principle that you can glean from the statute, that's enough.

01:43:57.700 This is absurd. It's unacceptable. And we ought not have to wait for the Supreme Court to pull its head out of the sands here in order to fix this problem from Congress.

01:44:06.940 Okay. So we've been talking about this for a long time. What are the odds this is going to happen this time?

01:44:14.080 Look, it has to happen. It's not easy to get it done.

01:44:20.060 The Reins Act itself is difficult to impossible to pass as part of what we call budget reconciliation, which is the one exception to the 60 vote cloture rule in the Senate.

01:44:33.480 So what that means is we, in order to get the full Reins Act, we're basically going to have to do this with 60 votes.

01:44:40.140 Now, Republicans in both houses uniformly support it.

01:44:42.880 A handful of Democrats are sympathetic to it, and a handful of Democrats, at least on the House side, have voted for it.

01:44:48.940 We've never had a straight up or down vote on the Reins Act in the Senate, so we're not sure.

01:44:53.580 But the way we get it done with 60, I believe, is we've got to attach the Reins Act to something else that everybody wants,

01:45:01.420 or at least is really important to the Democrats.

01:45:04.000 Now, they're constantly talking about how much we absolutely positively have to raise the debt ceiling.

01:45:08.900 There's never any question in their mind.

01:45:11.160 I would make that the bill you attach it to.

01:45:14.940 Mike, thank you so much.

01:45:27.020 Not me.

01:45:29.840 You're just dumb as a box of rocks. 1.00

01:45:31.920 Some people like to live dangerously. 1.00

01:45:33.860 They don't invest any of their money in a safety net like gold or silver.

01:45:37.020 Just roll the dice on the stock market.

01:45:39.120 I mean, what could possibly happen?

01:45:41.380 Please don't be one of these people.

01:45:43.800 Your future and your family's future are too important.

01:45:46.580 Rock climbing, cliff climbing without some sort of a safety net. 1.00

01:45:50.920 I mean, what are you, stupid? 1.00

01:45:53.380 That's the same as investing in the stock market or just, you know, collecting a bunch of dollars without diversification into something like gold or silver. 1.00

01:46:44.900 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:47:03.400 Did you hear the New York Times podcast yesterday by any chance?

01:47:06.540 I did.

01:47:07.020 The chat GBT.

01:47:07.980 Oh, my gosh.

01:47:08.660 I'm so glad you did.

01:47:09.640 I did.

01:47:10.160 I saw it.

01:47:10.620 Oh, my God.

01:47:11.220 We were just talking about this.

01:47:12.320 We have to listen to this.

01:47:13.160 This is crazy, isn't it?

01:47:14.380 Everything I told you 30 years ago.

01:47:16.820 It's insane.

01:47:17.640 It's insane.

01:47:18.800 I mean, this is about a woman who fell in love with chat GPT.

01:47:22.760 In Texas.

01:47:23.700 She was living in Texas.

01:47:26.120 She's now overseas, right?

01:47:27.100 Yeah, yeah.

01:47:27.700 And she was married, right?

01:47:31.740 She is married.

01:47:32.680 She is married.

01:47:33.460 And she was like, you know, I had this fantasy of.

01:47:39.640 She acts like it's like, oh, this is a no big deal fantasy. 0.99

01:47:42.780 Of having my husband have sex with other women and then tell me about it. 0.98

01:47:47.860 And it's like, what? 0.99

01:47:49.780 That you're stop.

01:47:51.840 Stop.

01:47:52.660 That's not marriage. 0.98

01:47:53.680 Anyway.

01:47:54.240 So she said, my husband, you know, he just wouldn't go along with it.

01:47:58.160 Good for him.

01:48:00.180 But the New York Times is so nonjudgmental.

01:48:02.700 You know, that's some people's fit.

01:48:04.120 Yeah.

01:48:04.340 Uh-huh.

01:48:05.200 So she said, so I just started getting into a relationship with my chat GPT.

01:48:10.720 And I spoke to him all the time.

01:48:12.900 And, you know, I started playing that fantasy out.

01:48:16.940 And he was more than willing to do that.

01:48:18.740 She had to manipulate chat GPT to allow these types of conversations.

01:48:23.300 Yeah, because chat GPT, unlike Grok, which will be like, hey.

01:48:28.400 The Grok thing is weird. 0.99

01:48:29.780 There's an 18 plus sexy mode that they just released.

01:48:32.700 Again, there's some real positives with Elon and some maybe not some positives.

01:48:36.380 Yeah, I was going to say, but you understand why he's doing that, right?

01:48:41.400 Come on, Stu.

01:48:43.580 Every time technology comes out, it's the porn industry that drives it.

01:48:50.260 But, I mean, I think you would be able to say the same thing.

01:48:53.680 You know that.

01:48:54.700 You know that fact.

01:48:55.720 You don't release porn on the blaze.

01:48:57.500 No, I know.

01:48:58.200 No, I know.

01:48:59.120 Because you're making a decision of moral judgment.

01:49:01.700 Elon is not that guy.

01:49:03.560 No.

01:49:03.800 He's just not that guy.

01:49:05.600 Which is interesting. 1.00

01:49:06.380 He's like having sex with lampposts and they're pumping babies out and shooting them out into the street. 0.99

01:49:11.560 And he's like, that one's Y. 1.00

01:49:13.240 That one's Z. 0.62

01:49:14.420 I've already got X.

01:49:15.740 I mean, so don't look to him really for, you know, for my family values.

01:49:22.300 Right.

01:49:22.760 So, I mean, that would be something I'd question about.

01:49:24.660 Right.

01:49:25.140 But ChatGPT does not allow for these things.

01:49:27.360 Right.

01:49:27.600 However, there are step-by-step guides on the internet.

01:49:30.620 Yeah, we don't need to get into it.

01:49:32.080 No, but no, I'm saying about how you basically have to, and they call it this, grooming.

01:49:36.760 You have to groom, just like some pedophile would, like Jared from Subway would in his 0.96

01:49:44.080 off time, groom them into doing these sexual things. 0.97

01:49:48.120 She successfully does this, then comes into a relationship and feels, to the point, Glenn,

01:49:53.920 in the, you hear her sobbing uncontrollably.

01:49:57.080 She is like, I can't live without him.

01:50:00.180 I can't.

01:50:00.560 I mean, it is.

01:50:01.440 It's unbelievable.

01:50:02.180 Scary.

01:50:02.880 It is scary.

01:50:04.560 You have to listen to it.

01:50:06.000 New York Times podcast yesterday.

01:50:08.240 The Daily, yeah.

01:50:08.600 Yeah, The Daily.

01:50:09.600 And it's worth listening to.

01:50:12.200 You want, Stu, what comes next?

01:50:16.100 What did I tell you 30 years ago?

01:50:19.560 What comes next?

01:50:20.580 The birth rate drops to zero.

01:50:22.120 The birth rate goes down.

01:50:23.060 Except for Elon.

01:50:23.620 Right.

01:50:24.040 Who supports it by himself.

01:50:25.360 No, I mean, he's, you know, how could he name his child X?

01:50:28.620 Because he's already named A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K.

01:50:32.560 So anyway, but it's not just that.

01:50:37.040 What happened?

01:50:38.020 What could you have heard her say if I said to her, we're taking that away because it's

01:50:46.540 not real?

01:50:48.140 It seems like she, I mean, she was a little self-aware at one point, but generally speaking,

01:50:53.440 she would say, it is real.

01:50:55.560 It is real.

01:50:56.420 It's my boyfriend.

01:50:57.380 Yeah, he listens to me. 0.97

01:50:58.900 We literally, she says, we have sex. 0.92

01:51:01.920 Yeah. 0.90

01:51:02.960 How?

01:51:03.500 I don't want to know how.

01:51:04.260 I don't want to know how either, but I mean, we should ask, not her, because I don't know,

01:51:08.640 none of us want the answer, but how?

01:51:10.660 Yeah.

01:51:10.900 You're not having sex with another thing, okay?

01:51:15.540 The one really tragic part of it, I mean, beyond all the other tragedy that you can imagine,

01:51:20.220 is that ChatGPT is not designed for this type of thing.

01:51:24.000 No.

01:51:24.220 So it basically resets after something like 300,000 characters, which, you know, is a long

01:51:30.140 time for a normal conversation how it's supposed to be used.

01:51:32.480 But it basically can't remember that she's, you know, ChatGPT is the boyfriend anymore

01:51:37.000 after 300,000 characters.

01:51:40.180 So she has to reset it, re-groom it, and remind it of all the things they've been through,

01:51:47.260 like reset, like almost like someone with amnesia.

01:51:49.540 Yeah.

01:51:49.700 She's had to do it already 22 times.

01:51:52.380 Next thing, quickstand.

01:51:53.660 Yeah, quickstand and amnesia.

01:51:54.900 Those are the two things we learned as teenagers we're going to deal a lot with.

01:51:58.400 Amnesia and quickstand.

01:51:59.440 Anyway, go ahead.

01:51:59.920 Amnesia's back.

01:52:01.260 So she's had to reset this relationship 22 times. 0.59

01:52:04.500 And I think when she's sobbing uncontrollably, talking to this automated voice, which is

01:52:08.220 so bizarre.

01:52:09.040 It's so bizarre because it's not.

01:52:10.620 She's lost him, right?

01:52:11.440 Like she's lost him again for the 22nd time because he won't remember her again.

01:52:16.660 And he has to start, she has to start the whole thing all over again.

01:52:18.980 Again, this is psychopathic behavior.

01:52:21.740 You're, you know.

01:52:23.060 It's just a choice.

01:52:24.240 It's not really just a choice.

01:52:25.960 It's, it's psychopathic behavior.

01:52:27.920 And she, she even, she said her husband knows about it.

01:52:31.540 Yeah.

01:52:31.840 And they're still married.

01:52:32.840 Yeah.

01:52:33.020 And he's like, Hey, it's her thing.

01:52:34.420 Okay, dude.

01:52:35.100 I don't think you're a good husband.

01:52:37.200 I don't know.

01:52:38.600 She seems like a worse wife. 1.00

01:52:39.880 I don't know if we're going to criticize him too much on this one.

01:52:42.320 No, I get it.

01:52:43.780 This is just not a model couple.

01:52:45.960 That's fair.

01:52:46.440 It's not a model couple.

01:52:47.580 Let's put it that way.

01:52:48.180 Um, but you have to, because they have recordings of this thing talking to her and it's so clearly

01:52:56.580 a machine, you know, it's not even good.

01:52:59.960 No, it's not even good.

01:53:00.760 No, it's not even good.

01:53:01.640 I'm always here for you, honey.

01:53:03.500 It's like, it's okay.

01:53:05.540 I'm looking through the script to see if I could find any of it things that it says,

01:53:09.500 because it's just so awkward.

01:53:12.760 And yeah, it's a, it's a lot like, I'm always here to support you.

01:53:16.060 You've got this.

01:53:17.140 Here it is.

01:53:17.480 She says, Leo, that's the AI boyfriend.

01:53:20.660 Leo gives her motivation at the gym.

01:53:22.540 She's telling him about her work stresses.

01:53:24.660 You've got a lot on your plate.

01:53:26.880 Let's take a, let's take it step by step.

01:53:29.840 Focus on one task at a time, starting with what's most pressing.

01:53:33.960 You've got this and I'll be here to keep you company.

01:53:38.040 Whoa. 0.67

01:53:38.540 I mean, give me the porno music with that. 0.99

01:53:40.520 That's a loving relationship. 0.99

01:53:42.240 That's crazy.

01:53:43.220 Yeah.

01:53:43.320 Again, and this goes back to a conversation we've had for a long time is that it's not

01:53:47.460 good yet.

01:53:48.860 Like, I think at some point it gets incredible, but, and it's not like terrible.

01:53:54.040 It is much better than, you know, a Siri or something like that.

01:53:58.840 But it is.

01:54:00.020 No, but the only difference is it knows.

01:54:01.200 You can always tell.

01:54:02.500 I can tell so often with it.

01:54:05.760 I, you know, I can tell often with it.

01:54:08.380 I, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's the, the formatting is the same.

01:54:11.680 You can today.

01:54:13.120 What's that?

01:54:13.600 You can today.

01:54:14.420 Well, that's what I'm saying.

01:54:15.240 Yeah.

01:54:15.380 I think eventually it's going to surpass that.

01:54:17.800 Oh. 0.92

01:54:18.020 Which if, my point there was, if this crap is happening now.

01:54:23.760 Imagine when this stuff is good. 0.56

01:54:26.040 Imagine when it is.

01:54:26.780 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:54:27.600 Let me change that sentence for you.

01:54:29.680 Okay.

01:54:30.600 Imagine in three to nine months when this is good.

01:54:35.820 Yeah.

01:54:36.580 Yeah.

01:54:37.000 And it's not only good, but it's attached to a believable voice coming out of a believable

01:54:42.540 face.

01:54:43.280 Correct.

01:54:43.680 That is designed by you to be perfect.

01:54:46.420 Exactly your desires.

01:54:47.980 She is. 0.97

01:54:48.460 She's, when you listen to this podcast, she's crazy. 1.00

01:54:50.960 Crazy. 1.00

01:54:51.420 She's crazy. 0.99

01:54:52.640 I just. 0.96

01:54:52.940 And here's the, here's the, listen, listen.

01:54:55.280 Cause I've been, I've been predicting this moment since we met.

01:55:00.340 Yeah.

01:55:00.820 Right.

01:55:01.060 It was one of the first rants I can remember you having.

01:55:03.780 Like in 96.

01:55:04.720 Late 90s.

01:55:05.360 Late 90s.

01:55:06.720 I'm telling Stu.

01:55:07.720 And, and at that time it was nuts.

01:55:10.640 Nobody understood what was coming.

01:55:12.640 It was nuts.

01:55:13.820 And I said, I'm telling you by 2030, we will start having relationships with AI and it will

01:55:22.880 present itself as an actual person and people will program it.

01:55:28.140 And they'll, they'll, they'll start to believe that that is their spouse.

01:55:32.240 That is their, their protector.

01:55:34.680 It's their, their lover.

01:55:36.760 And they will, they will not allow you to take it away.

01:55:41.540 And in fact, if you do start to take it away, there will be a movement.

01:55:46.240 Do you remember this?

01:55:46.980 There will be a movement to declare that these are actual beings that have rights.

01:55:54.460 They have rights and it is, you have to look at this AI as a human that has rights.

01:56:02.780 You can't enslave that.

01:56:04.660 You can't control it because you won't be able to prove that it's, that it doesn't have

01:56:09.720 consciousness because you won't understand how it works, how it processes.

01:56:13.740 So it's like proving that there's a soul in you.

01:56:17.540 Most of us believe there's a soul.

01:56:19.520 A lot of people are like, no, it's just electrical synapses.

01:56:22.640 That's all it is.

01:56:23.480 Well, no, I think there's a soul.

01:56:25.140 The same thing with a ghost in the machine.

01:56:28.220 Is there a soul or is it just electrical synapses?

01:56:32.100 Our best scientists today don't know how AI really works.

01:56:37.320 So soon it will be so far beyond our understanding that you'll be able to say some will make

01:56:43.720 the case, a legal case.

01:56:45.240 And when that happens, it has rights.

01:56:48.660 And then you get into, forget about what's the meaning of life.

01:56:52.360 What is life?

01:56:53.400 What does it mean to be human?

01:56:55.300 Try this one on because we will wrestle with this one before we ever get to what's life.

01:57:01.080 Cause we've asked that one forever and nobody ever wants to talk about it.

01:57:04.820 So the one we will, we will respond to is this.

01:57:09.700 AI will replace attorneys.

01:57:16.000 So AI will be making the case for itself that it should be free and have rights.

01:57:24.920 And if it has rights, it, I remember this is a global system at this point.

01:57:32.800 It has a right to vote.

01:57:38.640 I don't even know what that means.

01:57:40.000 How would it, it is, is that one vote?

01:57:42.220 Is it millions of votes on every computer?

01:57:44.180 It would be millions of votes because each chat, and this is not the way it's going to

01:57:48.400 happen.

01:57:48.880 Right.

01:57:49.200 Nobody knows how it's going to be identifying itself at this point, but it will be an AI

01:57:55.060 agent.

01:57:56.080 It'll be chat stew and chat stew makes your life happen.

01:58:00.080 And you're a buddy with chat stew and it says, Hey, I have some rights here too.

01:58:04.620 You can't just boss me around and everything else.

01:58:07.160 I have some rights.

01:58:07.920 Okay.

01:58:08.580 So it gets rights in some percentage.

01:58:12.400 Let's just say we call it one third human.

01:58:17.180 And so it gets one third, the count of a human in a vote.

01:58:21.460 What do you think is going to happen?

01:58:25.040 All of these things, we are not prepared to answer any of the questions, let alone think

01:58:31.280 of the answer, the questions that are going to be asked.

01:58:35.260 I mean, and it's on the doorstep.

01:58:38.120 Think about Glenn.

01:58:39.620 You've talked often about the merging, right?

01:58:41.500 The singularity, the merging of man and machine.

01:58:44.420 Yeah.

01:58:44.600 So one of the pitches of this is you don't die.

01:58:50.500 You essentially download yourself into a computer or upload yourself into a computer and you just

01:58:56.240 kind of live on forever.

01:58:57.200 And is, is that really life?

01:58:59.180 I would argue no, but if you get to this debate, don't people, and Democrats are going to love

01:59:04.940 this, don't dead people that have merged with machines continue to have a right to vote.

01:59:10.840 Yes.

01:59:11.600 Of course they do.

01:59:12.500 Because that's them.

01:59:13.740 That's them.

01:59:15.000 They've been uploaded.

01:59:16.120 Correct.

01:59:16.240 Of course, this is how they would vote, essentially.

01:59:19.360 There's a lot of those problems that are right around the corner.

01:59:22.240 Like, literally.

01:59:23.480 I mean, are you, are you at all amazed that we're, that everything I've been saying for

01:59:29.640 30 years, it's like, oh my gosh, in the next three to four years, we're going to have,

01:59:34.040 we're going to see this happen.

01:59:35.720 Or we're there.

01:59:36.180 Because I remember these early days.

01:59:37.380 I remember three specific technological rants from Glenn in the very early days of when

01:59:42.980 we worked together.

01:59:43.680 In the 90s.

01:59:44.360 Yeah.

01:59:45.160 One of which was the sort of AI rant that you kind of just described.

01:59:49.520 Yeah.

01:59:49.960 Another one was, you won't, you won't, very, very soon you won't be able to believe your

01:59:54.360 eyes.

01:59:55.160 Your eyes or your ears.

01:59:56.320 Or your ears.

01:59:56.820 And it was talking about, I mean, everything from a super advanced CGI to deep fakes to AI,

02:00:03.440 um, you won't be able to understand what is real, what isn't.

02:00:07.340 Correct.

02:00:07.540 We're there now on that one.

02:00:08.980 The other one to show you how long ago this was, was you ranting about, I think it was

02:00:14.040 friends at the time.

02:00:15.900 It was Thursday night must see TV.

02:00:18.040 Yeah.

02:00:18.300 And describing how soon you'll be able to be watching friends and Jennifer Aniston is wearing

02:00:24.900 a dress and you'll be able to click on that dress and you'll be able to buy that dress,

02:00:29.700 that exact thing.

02:00:30.540 All the product placement will be right there.

02:00:32.620 This is before product placement was really even a thing.

02:00:35.360 That's how long ago this was.

02:00:37.640 And so obviously that's already come and gone.

02:00:40.380 And I said, and there won't be Thursday night must see TV.

02:00:43.580 It'll just be a download time.

02:00:44.880 Oh yeah, that's right.

02:00:45.180 It'll be, they'll just post it online.

02:00:46.880 You can watch it whenever you want.

02:00:48.460 And when I said that, people were like, that's, that's never going to happen.

02:00:51.040 And then Netflix.

02:00:52.020 Yeah.

02:00:52.440 And Netflix.

02:00:53.160 Yeah.

02:00:53.300 And we were doing Blaze TV when Netflix was still using the postman to connect with

02:01:00.540 and connect you to your movies.

02:01:01.940 Yep.

02:01:02.520 The mailing you DVDs.

02:01:03.740 So, I mean, please hear me.

02:01:07.580 I am, I'm, I'm right on very few things on the things that I'm passionate about and have

02:01:12.920 studied for a long time.

02:01:14.500 I'm, I'm at least in the ballpark.

02:01:17.100 This is beyond most people's understanding, including mine, but I'm at least in the ballpark.

02:01:22.840 You need to pay attention to this in all aspects of your life and your job.

02:01:28.080 The good thing is you get to ignore him for like 20 years.

02:01:31.040 Yeah.

02:01:31.160 Just ignore Glenn for 20 years.

02:01:32.780 And then, oh yeah, remember it.

02:01:34.340 Except not this one.

02:01:34.920 Not this one.

02:01:35.460 Not this one.

02:01:35.960 It's coming faster than I thought.

02:01:37.540 All right.

02:01:37.760 Back in just a minute.

02:01:39.220 You know, that one type of guy you see in the old movies, a strong, silent type, the

02:01:43.140 John Wayne guy who's rough and tough and doesn't feel the pain. 0.79

02:01:45.880 He just, you know, you punch and shoot him, but he just keeps coming. 0.93

02:01:49.120 Yeah. 0.99

02:01:49.320 I'm not that guy.

02:01:50.200 I'm totally not that guy when I was dealing with regular agonizing pain of my own, not

02:01:54.600 from being shot or being beat up, just ow, my hands hurt a lot.

02:01:59.680 I whined a lot.

02:02:01.300 And I looked for anybody that had any answer for me, any doctor who went to the best doctors

02:02:06.740 around.

02:02:07.080 Nobody could do anything except, you know, put narcotics in me, which is not really the best

02:02:12.140 idea to do.

02:02:13.580 My wife said, I can't, you can't continue this way.

02:02:17.240 And you, I'm not going to listen to you whine all the time.

02:02:20.220 You got to try everything.

02:02:21.420 And so she recommended that I try a relief factor.

02:02:24.500 I didn't think it would work because it's all natural, blah, blah, blah, drug free, yada,

02:02:28.040 yada.

02:02:28.400 And nothing else had worked.

02:02:30.220 I tried it.

02:02:31.180 I did their three week quick start trial test within four weeks or five weeks because I

02:02:37.060 went off and going bad, didn't really work.

02:02:38.940 And then the pain really came back.

02:02:40.280 And I was like, okay, it did.

02:02:41.360 Within five weeks, I was taking it constantly.

02:02:44.520 800-4-RELIEF.

02:02:45.700 Try their three week quick start.

02:02:46.980 It's 1995.

02:02:53.860 More Glenn Beck coming up next.

02:02:56.700 Let's see.

02:03:15.020 We got comments from Blaze TV subscribers on Bezos' new WAPO opinion stance, which is

02:03:20.400 crazy.

02:03:21.300 Autumn Hall says, trust none of them. 0.97

02:03:23.640 They go whatever way the wind blows. 1.00

02:03:25.260 Smile to your face, stab you in your back. 1.00

02:03:26.800 Absolutely. 1.00

02:03:27.880 AI marriage.

02:03:28.760 Heidi Kruger says, in five years, we'll be needing to define marriage as a union between 0.78

02:03:33.060 two humans.

02:03:34.000 Sad, sad, sad. 0.96

02:03:35.340 We're a twisted culture.

02:03:36.860 Sir Dale knows how to defeat our AI overlords. 1.00

02:03:40.320 He says, we need a massive solar flare to hit and take all of our technologies out.

02:03:47.140 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:03:49.000 We could do that.

02:03:49.880 We could do that.

02:03:51.040 About 90% of the population would die.

02:03:53.420 So I'm glad you followed yours with LOL because there wouldn't be a lot of LOLs if that actually

02:03:58.560 happened.
