00:00:21.640 You know, there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have. You walk into a bedroom,

00:00:26.060 you take one look at your kid and go, yeah, he's getting sick. You don't need a thermometer,

00:00:29.820 You don't need a doctor.

00:00:30.580 You just know, right?

00:00:32.380 Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part.

00:00:35.500 The hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug.

00:00:39.800 The pharmacy is out of the medication they need.

00:00:41.720 And now you're driving all over town hoping somebody has it in stock.

00:00:45.780 That's why I advise you, prepare before the first cough starts.

00:01:56.920 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:02:10.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:14.480 Glenn Beck is on.

00:02:16.740 Hello, America.

00:02:18.460 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:21.160 It's going to be an interesting program today because it's Friday.

00:02:25.760 Let's just put it that way.

00:02:26.620 It's Friday, and we've been screwing off in all of the time that we should have been putting effort into the show.

00:02:31.900 We've been screwing off, making fun of Canadians.

00:02:34.080 But it's Friday, and that's what needs to happen in America.

00:02:36.980 So we begin there in just a couple of seconds.

00:02:38.760 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:02:40.980 You ever find yourself saying things like, you know, I really don't like golf anymore, you know,

00:02:46.480 or I'm not interested in working in the yard, or, you know, I don't need to go up and down those stairs.

00:02:51.940 Maybe it's true, but maybe your back hurts when you swing the club or maybe your shoulder hurts when you work in the yard and the stairs are, you know, kind of hard when your knees are on fire all the time.

00:03:03.480 There's a difference between deciding what you, you know, you don't want to do and deciding it is just not worth hurting to do it.

00:03:11.200 That's why I've taken Relief Factor for years now.

00:03:13.420 You know, my story, pain in my hands got so bad, I was actually considering, you know, leaving because it wasn't just my hand.

00:03:20.960 It affected my whole life.

00:03:22.880 The pain was so bad, and I just, I couldn't take it anymore, and there was something going

00:03:28.120 on, and I had to, I went to these doctors all over the country, went to the Mayo Clinic,

00:03:35.640 went everywhere, and they decided it was something, inflammation, blah, blah, blah, and all kinds

00:03:40.400 of different things, and I was on a diet for, I don't know, a few years that were only,

00:03:44.200 I could only have 80 different ingredients.

00:03:46.760 Take these, eat everything,

00:03:48.300 but no more than these 80 different ingredients

00:03:50.700 and your inflammation will go down,

00:03:52.900 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:03:53.680 It was a nightmare.

00:03:55.340 Finally took Relief Factor

00:03:56.720 and it broke the back of whatever was going on in my body.

00:04:00.000 And I am forever grateful.

00:04:01.640 Please, if you're having pain, try it.

00:04:03.820 Just try it.

00:04:04.480 Three-week quick start.

00:04:05.480 Doesn't work for everybody.

00:04:06.380 And they tell you that up front.

00:04:07.760 Works for about 70% of the people who try it.

00:04:10.300 They go on to order more just like me.

00:04:12.160 It's $17.76 for the 250th anniversary year.

00:04:17.320 Many people say Relief Factor gave them their life back.

00:04:20.400 It did me.

00:04:21.300 ReliefFactor.com, 800-4-RELIEF.

00:04:23.620 800, the number four, Relief.

00:04:28.080 Okay, so the latest with Canada is they're very, very upset.

00:04:33.960 They're very upset.

00:04:35.580 They're very upset at the memes.

00:04:38.000 I mean, I don't know what's going to happen.

00:04:40.180 Yesterday, we told you that the Ottawa, whatever, Beaver or whatever their newspaper is in Ottawa, they were saying that, you know, our admiral was avoiding questions about attack plans on Canada.

00:04:55.540 We don't have any attack plans on Canada for the love of Pete.

00:05:00.540 Oh, it's just, oh, it's so irritating.

00:05:04.820 People lose their minds.

00:05:06.340 They have lost their minds.

00:05:07.580 so then uh we hear from uh carney that you know they gotta stop americans gotta stop with these

00:05:15.980 memes really sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me but memes memes might

00:05:23.640 kill us oh come on grow a set you know what i may have to send mark carney i may have to send him

00:05:34.040 the no ball prize uh which uh has has john thune's face on it awarded for sacklessness

00:05:40.780 if you cannot take a meme you get the no ball prize

00:05:45.340 but it's becoming a real problem and apparently we're big big enemies so on the at glenbeck.com

00:05:53.540 we have a preparedness guide uh and i will tell you it might sound like a joke but it is no joke

00:06:01.080 You can find this preparedness guide, but I wanted to make sure I could get it out as far and as wide as I can.

00:06:08.100 So we've put about, oh, minutes of work into this to give you Know Your Canadian, a citizen's preparedness guide.

00:06:24.140 Yes, he may look like you, he may talk like you, but you must know the signs.

00:06:31.080 The first rule of preparedness is do not panic.

00:06:39.540 Observe, identify, respond according to procedure.

00:06:44.160 You can be prepared.

00:06:46.860 Events of the recent months have made one thing clear.

00:06:49.940 The Canadian question can no longer be dismissed as a problem confined to the northern frontier.

00:06:56.700 With U.S.-Canadian tensions at an all-time high,

00:06:59.780 Americans should know how to recognize a Canadian

00:07:02.700 and what to do should an encounter occur.

00:07:06.920 Canadians were once a common winter site in Florida,

00:07:10.020 where they gathered in large numbers

00:07:11.940 before returning to their frozen homeland each spring.

00:07:15.880 Their numbers, yes, have thinned,

00:07:17.680 as the trade dispute has intensified,

00:07:19.720 but do not mistake their absence for safety.

00:07:22.620 Canadians may still be found almost anywhere in the United States.

00:07:28.800 More troubling, they look just like us.

00:07:33.460 Canada is the second largest country on Earth,

00:07:36.280 occupying nearly 4 million square miles immediately to our north.

00:07:41.180 It touches three oceans and shares 5,000, 2,525 miles of border with the United States,

00:07:48.080 the longest international boundary in the world.

00:07:51.820 Canadian authorities refer to the population distribution.

00:07:57.000 Canada possesses the second largest country on earth,

00:07:59.840 yet most Canadians have chosen to assemble directly along the American frontier.

00:08:06.860 So it's our duty to know how to spot a Canadian.

00:08:11.940 There is no foolproof method of identifying a Canadian by appearance.

00:08:16.840 The modern Canadian may be a businessman, an accountant, a retiree, or the perfectly ordinary man standing beside you at the Home Depot.

00:08:27.180 He may dress like you. He may drive the same truck. He may speak flawless English for several minutes at a time.

00:08:34.660 The clues are generally subtle.

00:08:37.720 A. 30 degrees and 100.

00:08:41.700 Watch the signs.

00:08:43.420 Listen for A. Ask how far away something is. If the answer comes back in kilometers, note it.

00:08:52.000 Ask the temperature. If it's a beautiful summer day and the answer is 30 degrees,

00:08:57.180 you're not dealing with poor arithmetic. You're dealing with Celsius. You're dealing with a

00:09:04.100 Canadian. A posted speed limit sign of 100 may sound alarming until you discover the Canadian

00:09:10.520 is traveling only 62 miles an hour. Still, none of these clues are alone conclusive. When suspicion

00:09:20.240 remains, a simple examination may be necessary because the numbers are designed to look bigger

00:09:26.840 than they are. When in doubt, apply the test, the Canadian test. The purpose of the Canadian test is

00:09:35.860 not to trick the subject, ask ordinary questions, and carefully observe the response.

00:09:43.100 First question. What are your thoughts on Prime Minister Carney? The typical American will answer,

00:09:50.180 who? The Canadian may praise him, condemn him, or blame him for everything wrong with their country.

00:09:56.800 The opinion is irrelevant. Recognition of the name Carney is the clue.

00:10:03.460 2. What's a double-double?

00:10:07.660 The American will say, it's a hamburger or something related to basketball.

00:10:13.120 The Canadian will immediately begin discussing coffee.

00:10:18.180 3. What's a loony?

00:10:20.880 The American assumes you mean a crazy person.

00:10:23.820 The Canadian will tell you, it's money.

00:10:27.700 And 4. How far is 100 kilometers?

00:10:30.900 The American will immediately ask you why you're using Eurotrash measurements in this country.

00:10:36.900 The Canadian will answer almost automatically about the distance between Medicine Hat and Brooks.

00:10:44.900 At this point, identification can generally be considered complete.

00:10:49.900 But what to do once you've identified a Canadian?

00:10:54.900 A Canadian who realizes he's been identified may become nervous or defensive.

00:11:07.900 Do not corner him, do not block his path, or make sudden movements towards his hockey stick.

00:11:13.900 Secure the children.

00:11:16.900 If children are nearby, calmly move them behind you and create a diversion.

00:11:21.900 A small pile of ketchup chips placed several yards away will often be sufficient.

00:11:28.900 3. Deploy the bait.

00:11:31.900 Do not throw the bait directly at the Canadian.

00:11:38.900 Place it where it can be clearly seen and slowly withdraw.

00:11:45.900 Never feed a Canadian by hand.

00:11:48.900 hand. Four, leave a route north. Always leave an unobstructed path to the north so the Canadian

00:11:56.960 has means of escape. And five, reserve the Olympic option. Should he become agitated and begin

00:12:04.720 discussing tariffs, sovereignty, or the 51st state, avoid argument. Speak in a low, even voice

00:12:11.840 and allow the display to exhaust itself naturally. Under no circumstances should you immediately

00:12:18.620 mentioned that the United States won both Olympic hockey gold medals over Canada in 2026. That is

00:12:25.780 an emergency measure and should only be used after all peaceful options have failed. And a final word

00:12:33.380 on preparedness. The prepared citizen does not panic. He observes, he identifies, and responds

00:12:40.300 according to procedure. Once identification is confirmed, secure the children, deploy the bait,

00:12:46.100 and maintain a clear route north.

00:12:48.820 When the Canadian has withdrawn,

00:12:51.340 notify your neighbors.

00:12:53.820 Remember,

00:12:54.580 where there's one Canadian,

00:12:57.380 there may always be others.

00:13:06.320 Back in just a minute.

00:13:07.880 First, let me tell you about chapter.

00:13:09.820 Imagine walking into a restaurant

00:13:11.360 and asking the waiter,

00:13:12.580 what's the best thing on the menu?

00:13:13.940 and he says definitely the stake great except you find out he gets paid an extra 50 bucks every time

00:13:20.060 somebody orders the stake well hang on the stake may be fantastic but i'd like a section up a second

00:13:27.240 option you know when somebody is helping you make an important decision you want to know what's

00:13:31.240 motivating their advice that's the one thing i like about chapter chapters licensed medicare

00:13:36.560 advisors help you compare all the medicare plans available to you but they aren't paid to push you

00:13:42.380 one plan or another. And I think these are the only guys that can do it. I know these are the

00:13:46.760 only guys that can look at every single Medicare plan available, okay? Which plan is best for you,

00:13:53.580 not the person selling the plan, right? They compare every medical plan nationwide. They

00:14:00.600 have found people an average of $1,100 a year that they are saving now, healthcare savings,

00:14:07.080 $1,100 a year, and the call is completely free.

00:14:10.020 It takes about 20 minutes, so dial pound 250 and say the keyword chapter.

00:14:14.060 It's pound 250, keyword, chapter.

00:14:18.080 10 seconds, station ID.

00:14:29.940 All right, welcome to the program, Jason.

00:14:32.120 uh there's a there's a couple of things uh that we need to talk about first um tell me the latest

00:14:40.460 on iran will you i will but you're just gonna blow over that you probably just single-handedly

00:14:46.380 destroyed the next trade agreement with martin hardy i mean if he can't handle a meme we're done

00:14:52.120 after that he's he's under his desk crying oh my gosh they're attacking they're attacking

00:15:00.700 they're attacking

00:15:01.780 oh my god

00:15:03.760 Chris Brady wrote that up last night

00:15:06.420 from the website and he put it together

00:15:08.040 it's a really funny you gotta check it out

00:15:10.280 at glenbeck.com just the

00:15:12.300 booklet that goes with that is just

00:15:14.080 hysterical and we saw that and Ricky's like

00:15:16.020 you should do

00:15:17.320 you should do a

00:15:18.460 you know like an old schoolastic film

00:15:21.160 and get the music and stuff now it's

00:15:23.240 45 minutes before the show

00:15:24.880 and I'm like oh should I

00:15:27.400 do that and she's like yeah you can do that

00:15:29.300 That's really easy.

00:15:30.340 I don't have the schoolastic film,

00:15:31.820 so I'm literally on the website of the National Archives

00:15:35.400 looking for that music, picking the music for it,

00:15:39.300 and so that's as good as it gets, guys, in 45 minutes.

00:15:43.060 Sorry.

00:15:43.660 It's so great.

00:15:44.360 Yes, but you just did America a national public service,

00:15:48.060 and we thank you.

00:15:50.740 It's so great.

00:15:51.560 That's one of the main comments right now for the Torch Insiders

00:15:55.020 is where did Glenn find this music?

00:15:56.860 What you didn't see is Ricky brings this up, and then Glenn, we always have a meeting right before the radio show.

00:16:03.300 Glenn gets this little smile, and he just dives into it.

00:16:06.320 He spent like 30 minutes this morning just diving into it, fighting the music.

00:16:10.400 I had to go through 200 different cuts, and Sarah's looking at me like, please, dear God, we're never going to make it.

00:16:16.080 Please tell me you're not going to start the show with it.

00:16:17.780 And I'm like, yeah, I want this monkey off my back.

00:16:20.560 I'm not going to sit there.

00:16:21.560 I asked Sarah if you had ever spent this much time

00:16:24.940 looking for the perfect music before.

00:16:26.980 I was like, it's been 30 minutes.

00:16:28.700 I'm concerned.

00:16:29.820 We're live in 30 minutes.

00:16:31.300 She's like, oh no, he's taking longer.

00:16:33.640 Yeah, I mean, that was, I mean,

00:16:35.620 we could have made that really good,

00:16:36.900 but if I had more time.

00:16:38.100 But anyway, I can't, I just, it is so funny

00:16:42.740 how everybody in Canada is freaking out so much.

00:16:47.460 They're just freaking out.

00:16:50.480 Yeah, it was funny.

00:16:51.440 i was reading a ton of comments they were saying you have no idea the americans have no idea how

00:16:57.120 canadians are now just you know completely you know can't stand americans right now and i'm just

00:17:03.040 kind of chuckling and i'm like most americans not only don't care about that we hardly know that

00:17:09.280 there's a northern border we hardly even know how to pronounce canadia don't hardly even do like we

00:17:16.760 We don't give it a second thought.

00:17:18.980 I mean, it's not that we don't like Canadians.

00:17:22.240 It's not at all.

00:17:23.140 I love Canadians.

00:17:24.460 They're great.

00:17:25.100 But it's like, you know what you are?

00:17:26.960 You're here, Canada.

00:17:29.980 And no offense to the state I'm about to mention, but you're North Dakota.

00:17:34.740 You're just like North, North Dakota.

00:17:37.540 We don't think of any, we don't think of North Dakota ever.

00:17:41.900 And I'm sorry, North Dakota.

00:17:43.140 It's like we don't hate North Dakota or anything else.

00:17:47.040 We just don't ever think.

00:17:48.360 There's no reason for North Dakota to ever come up in the conversation.

00:17:53.260 It's like Canada.

00:17:54.760 Unless you're talking about John Candy, why bring up Canada?

00:17:59.900 Shania Twain, obviously.

00:18:02.140 I mean, there's another one.

00:18:04.340 John Candy.

00:18:05.640 What's wrong with John Candy?

00:18:06.940 No, that's a good one.

00:18:07.840 It's just my first thought was Shania Twain.

00:18:09.920 But yeah, you're also right.

00:18:11.220 Wait, Shania Twain?

00:18:13.140 You didn't know that.

00:18:13.960 Oh, you know what?

00:18:14.680 You know what?

00:18:15.280 I'm not going to diss.

00:18:17.040 I'm not going to diss because, you know, Coulter Wall is also from Canada.

00:18:20.600 That's true.

00:18:21.260 And he's great.

00:18:22.960 He should be a Texan.

00:18:24.260 I just don't know what's happening.

00:18:25.360 You just tanked his career.

00:18:27.060 I know.

00:18:28.680 Oh, that's what we should do.

00:18:31.540 Americans for Coulter Wall.

00:18:33.940 We start being for Coulter Wall.

00:18:35.860 Coulter Wall will be like, what are you doing to me?

00:18:38.220 You're killing me.

00:18:39.520 Well, then come on down.

00:18:40.680 Come on down.

00:18:41.840 You'd be American.

00:18:43.140 oh so anyway um but there's a lot of things going on the price of of oil has gone up again

00:18:50.020 and i don't understand this because um we're not getting the truth somewhere or another

00:18:56.240 we're not getting the truth um because everybody is saying that uh the strait is open and there's

00:19:03.740 all this oil flowing and yet we the price of oil keeps going up and up and up and up so what's the

00:19:10.680 truth here, Jason? Well, I think it was the energy secretary said that there was a record day on

00:19:17.000 Monday, 40 ships escorted out of the Strait of Hormuz. It was around 18 million barrels of oil,

00:19:24.500 something like that. So pre-war, what was going in and out was 20 million. So 18 via ship through

00:19:31.860 the strait doesn't even tell the whole story because now it's also going through alternative

00:19:35.880 pipelines across saudi arabia other areas so there should be more oil coming out right now

00:19:41.700 okay hold on just a second i'm sorry we have breaking news can we get into this this is the

00:19:45.680 judge speaking to the jurors before the deliberations i instructed you earlier it's

00:19:51.540 your duty as jurors to accept the law as i stated to you you should consider all of my instructions

00:19:57.920 as a whole you may not ignore any instruction or give special attention to any one instruction

00:20:03.440 you must follow the law as i give it to you whether you agree with it or not the law that

00:20:10.680 i'm instructing you on is the law that's been established by our legislature and our appellate

00:20:15.480 courts uh and it applies to everyone and you must apply the law as i have instructed you and you

00:20:22.140 have a copy of the instructions that i gave you you should still have them back there with the

00:20:27.000 juror uh and with that you may now resume your deliberations okay so this is this is um the jury

00:20:33.220 apparently says this is up in plymouth um there is one juror that is hung um and is like i i'm

00:20:41.960 not changing my mind and the other jurors are saying that juror is not listening to the law

00:20:47.520 he will not obey the law he is not following what the judge has said do i have this right ricky

00:20:52.480 yes the judge basically i mean it's common sense you have to make a decision based on beyond a

00:21:00.180 reasonable doubt now we don't know whether this lone juror is uh wanting to convict her or let

00:21:06.860 her off but the way that the lawyer the defense lawyer has been talking it sounds like yes there

00:21:12.640 is one person who thinks that she's guilty because they're bullying this person right they are and

00:21:17.420 the defense uh attorney and this is why she says you know it looks like it's going to be somebody

00:21:21.920 who's defending or who wants to throw her in jail is because the defense attorney said,

00:21:28.760 we're going to retry tomorrow. That's fine. You know, replace that jury if they won't follow the

00:21:34.280 law or mistrial doesn't matter. You know, we'll file again tomorrow because we believe in our

00:21:40.540 case. And they are pushing now. The defense is pushing to have this juror removed. And I don't

00:21:46.580 know enough about this. I don't know the ins and outs on why they're saying he's not following the

00:21:50.720 law on reasonable doubt i mean how does somebody how does somebody say you know well i mean i guess

00:21:59.100 he could be stupid and say no i you know uh i don't doubt that she's sick but i'm refusing to

00:22:06.540 do maybe maybe he said that out loud but if he's you know like i just assume isn't it weird i just

00:22:12.440 assume it's a guy um but if you know that that juror is saying you know i'm sorry you can't

00:22:20.240 convince me i i just i don't i don't think that she was crazy and it's not beyond a reasonable

00:22:26.940 doubt for me um i don't know how you prove that unless he said it and then he's violating the law

00:22:32.780 and he should be removed but we could be close um to either having that juror removed um because

00:22:39.900 i bet the tension in that room i bet there are people in that room going are you kidding me

00:22:44.620 stop it i do not want to come back here monday morning stop it so we'll see what happens i bet

00:22:51.940 we get something today they're going back into the jury room now more in a minute let me tell

00:24:34.540 Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

00:24:36.320 I want to play a clip of something that went viral a few weeks ago.

00:24:41.460 It is the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, and his daughter talking about Harvard.

00:24:49.780 She wanted, you know, they were taking a tour of, you know, everything and going to Harvard.

00:24:53.100 And he's like, no, Harvard, no, Harvard.

00:24:55.020 Listen to this.

00:24:56.340 Can't say no.

00:24:57.640 To Harvard?

00:24:58.360 Yeah.

00:24:58.980 Well, me and mom can say no.

00:25:02.780 Catholicism to us is everything.

00:25:05.540 It's the basis of our marriage.

00:25:07.220 It's the basis of our family.

00:25:08.880 So I'm nervous about the idea of Paloma going to Harvard.

00:25:14.360 We spend a lot of time nurturing and providing formation for our kids,

00:25:17.920 giving them an environment where they are steeped in faith and values.

00:25:23.100 And so the idea of dropping her off at a place that would undermine that

00:25:27.360 or try to undo all those things makes me worried.

00:25:30.540 And again, I don't want them to get one viewpoint.

00:25:32.520 I want them to get a lot of different viewpoints.

00:25:34.180 but I don't want them fed only one viewpoint

00:25:37.120 that's contrary to the way my kids were raised.

00:25:39.700 Listen, my problem is we have thought about how we raised you

00:25:43.740 and how hard we've worked to, I think, raise what is a remarkable young girl.

00:25:50.040 If I send you there, I think what happens is they have professionalized

00:25:54.860 figuring out how they can take good young girls like you

00:25:59.480 and, I think, corrupt their minds.

00:26:02.360 You don't have to believe what I believe.

00:26:04.180 You don't have to have the political viewpoints that I have, but I do think it's important that you make those choices for yourself and you have a fair representation of what they are.

00:26:14.740 That is Sean Duffy. He's the 20th U.S. Secretary of Transportation.

00:26:19.780 Joining us also is his daughter, not the daughter that was in that video, another daughter, Evita Duffy Alfonso.

00:26:27.600 She is an American conservative journalist, political commentator.

00:26:30.500 She's the eldest daughter of Secretary Duffy.

00:26:34.200 Secretary, welcome to the program.

00:26:35.620 Before we get into the conversation about, you know, Harvard,

00:26:38.020 and I want to talk to you about the announcement you made with the DOJ

00:26:40.760 to close the truck driving schools in an attempt to address fraud.

00:26:45.420 Do you want to make a comment on that quickly?

00:26:48.060 Yeah, sure.

00:26:48.500 So the last administration, as you know, Glenn and you've covered,

00:26:52.040 they've let, you know, tens of millions of illegals into the country,

00:26:55.240 and they thought it would be a great idea to give them truck drivers licenses.

00:26:57.960 And the way they did that was they allowed these fraudulent schools to stand up where they don't train truck drivers.

00:27:04.540 And then these truck drivers, when they went to the DMV, the DMV would outsource that to third-party testers.

00:27:12.040 And it was a scam, a sham system with a lot of fraud.

00:27:16.360 So we've gone back to the schools, the schools that don't allow for English proficiency.

00:27:21.460 They let foreign speakers pass through the school, which, by the way, is contrary to longstanding American law.

00:27:30.400 And many of them didn't have they didn't have trucks.

00:27:33.020 They didn't have places for trucks to drive.

00:27:34.780 They didn't have classrooms.

00:27:35.560 They didn't have curriculums.

00:27:37.260 This is kind of like the learning center in Minnesota, where you pay the money and you got a certificate that you went to the driving school, but you have no skills.

00:27:45.820 And so we're shutting down one hundred and sixty of those schools.

00:27:50.880 And Glenn, you've seen this.

00:27:52.480 Americans are dying on American roads, whether they're going to church on Sunday, whether

00:27:56.720 they're going to Walmart.

00:27:59.300 People are losing their lives because the last administration and a lot of liberal states

00:28:04.280 have allowed for unqualified truck drivers to get behind the wheel of an 80,000 pound,

00:28:10.620 what can be a missile, and endanger the lives of our fellow neighbors and our family members.

00:28:16.000 And so we've said no more.

00:28:16.800 we shut the schools down, and we're bringing order back to trucking in America. By the way,

00:28:22.880 these are great American jobs, Glenn. You can make 80, 100 grand a year right out of

00:28:28.340 high school and support your family, buy yourself a new truck. And when you compete against the

00:28:35.560 fraudsters, the good competitors, the honest competitors couldn't compete because the foreigners

00:28:41.660 who were fraudulently competing

00:28:44.660 were driving down the wages.

00:28:46.460 All right, let me switch

00:28:47.100 because, gosh, we're going to run out of time.

00:28:48.900 I'd love to talk to you some more,

00:28:50.440 especially about this, about schools.

00:28:52.420 I have to tell you,

00:28:53.200 congratulations on saying this.

00:28:55.080 I saw the look on your daughter's face

00:28:56.780 in that video when she said,

00:28:59.000 you know, when you said,

00:28:59.820 well, your mom and dad can say no.

00:29:03.460 And that is so hard

00:29:05.580 and parents are dealing with this.

00:29:08.560 Why do you feel so strongly about this?

00:29:11.660 Yeah. So Evita, who was my oldest, this was part of our great American road trip. We thought to celebrate America, we should see America. And this was one of the scenes out of one of the road trips we were going to take to look at colleges. And so I think American conservative families are having this conversation every single day because they know whether it's a family member or a friend or a neighbor who has sent their kid off to school. And whether it's a year or four years later, they come back and they're unrecognizable.

00:29:36.840 We don't know who these kids are. They've been completely contorted and converted from these liberal institutions. So we had a heartfelt conversation with her. She's, by the way, one of my best students. I have nine kids. Great little student. She studies really hard and she wanted to go to an Ivy League school. And my heart was set on, no, we've worked hard to raise you. I want to preserve that when you go to college. We shouldn't just turn you over to the wolves.

00:30:02.740 Well, what's interesting, Glenn, is, and Evita, by the way, went to the University of Chicago, and she had a great experience when she was there.

00:30:08.680 But most of the liberals who played that clip and attacked our family, there's a great arc to the story because we actually did go to Harvard, and the episode shows this.

00:30:18.000 And we met with Father Sanders, who is the Catholic chaplain of the Catholic Center on campus.

00:30:25.740 We had an amazing meeting.

00:30:27.140 He said, and we saw it, the Catholic life, the Christian life on campus is thriving, as you've seen young men and women are gravitating towards truth, which is faith.

00:30:38.340 And in the end of the episode, I said, you know, if you get in, I'll support you in going to Harvard.

00:30:43.780 And by the way, she got on the wait list.

00:30:45.220 She never got off.

00:30:46.200 And we have a unique story where a lot of mine go to the University of Dallas.

00:30:50.520 It's a traditional Catholic school, classical education.

00:30:54.660 And that's right for them.

00:30:55.840 uh paloma who is in that clip is going to go where evita went to the university of chicago and we

00:31:01.840 have all the faith in her that we raised her well and she is strong enough in her convictions and

00:31:06.280 her faith that she can navigate that just like evita did going to the university of chicago but

00:31:10.780 evita it's my understanding that you did have probably i mean you had people say your dad

00:31:16.140 deserved execution you had death threats you know whiteboard incidents is is that true or not

00:31:22.080 yeah so so my i had i had my my dad says i had a good experience i think what he means is i would

00:31:28.360 never take back that experience i feel like i was a better person coming out of u chicago i was a

00:31:33.320 stronger conservative but i i had a tough time so at the time david axelrod was um in charge of the

00:31:39.940 institute of politics at u chicago and the harassment that i was getting for being a conservative at

00:31:45.500 u chicago specifically for opposing socialism on campus was so intense the death threats the

00:31:51.740 harassment, people saying I didn't deserve to vote, that I didn't deserve to be at the

00:31:55.700 university, attacked my family and my appearance. It got so intense that David Axelrod, Obama's

00:32:00.660 former chief advisor, had to step in and say, hey, you should probably stop harassing this

00:32:05.640 girl. It's having a chilling effect on free speech at the University of Chicago. That's

00:32:09.480 how bad it got. But again, I felt like I was a better person coming out of it. And for

00:32:13.580 the same reason that I don't want to cede, and my dad as well, don't want to cede the

00:32:17.860 government to the left. We don't want to cede the media to the left. We don't want to cede

00:32:21.240 are elite academic institutions to the left. And that includes Harvard, that includes UChicago.

00:32:26.060 And that starts by sending kids who can handle it, assessing if your child can handle a school

00:32:31.260 like that, and then also using the power of the federal purse to put pressure on them to be better

00:32:36.400 schools. You can't have DEI, you can't have classes about post-colonial studies or critical race

00:32:42.780 theory or fat studies or queer studies. These aren't real fields of study. They are net negatives

00:32:48.040 on our society, and we as taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing it. I will tell you, I mean,

00:32:53.640 I've faced this with my own kids, and I've seen what my kids have gone through as well,

00:32:58.560 because they were my kids, and sometimes not knowing that they were my kids. It doesn't matter.

00:33:05.040 And, you know, it really depends on the kid. Are they strong enough to handle it? But, you know,

00:33:11.420 the problem is, you're young, and everybody wants to be popular. Nobody wants to be the outcast.

00:33:17.760 You have to be beyond strong.

00:33:20.340 Would you agree with that, both of you?

00:33:23.460 Glenn, I completely agree with that.

00:33:25.200 And I think it's not just colleges.

00:33:26.900 A lot of people of faith or conservative value, their kids go to middle school and high school.

00:33:33.540 And when you sit at the dinner table at the end of the day, you have to work on reprogramming them from all the leftist programming they got in school.

00:33:41.060 So it's not just universities.

00:33:42.200 It's throughout the system.

00:33:43.240 And if you can raise a good kid, I agree with I agree with Evita that, you know, you should allow the good kids that can handle it to go in.

00:33:51.540 And what does that mean? Evita, what does that mean? A good kid that can handle it?

00:33:57.700 Again, I've got four great kids. I don't know. I mean, I have suspicion, but it's different when you're alone on campus and you're the one.

00:34:10.260 So, Glenn, I'm going to ask you a question.

00:34:12.020 What do you think is the two questions that they asked me, my RA asked me, and all of

00:34:17.280 the other kids on my floor in college when I got to campus, the first two questions?

00:34:21.860 They asked me my name and they asked me something else.

00:34:23.760 What do you think they asked me?

00:34:25.420 Political orientation?

00:34:27.260 They asked me, what are your pronouns?

00:34:29.540 What are your pronouns?

00:34:30.380 And what that does is it's a default, right?

00:34:33.740 The default is that there can be multiple genders, that there's no such thing as innate

00:34:39.660 biological sex.

00:34:40.760 You can be whatever you think you are.

00:34:42.660 So when you set up a classroom or your freshman dorm in that way, suddenly you feel extremely

00:34:49.120 alone if you're somebody who does believe in biological sex, which, by the way, is real

00:34:53.280 and innate and God-given.

00:34:55.120 So you're right.

00:34:56.780 It's really difficult.

00:34:58.220 And it's something that I think every parent has to think really hard about before they send their kids to one of these schools and actually prepare them for what's going to come.

00:35:08.340 You know, part of why my dad was so concerned about sending Paloma to the school is because of the trauma that I experienced at UChicago.

00:35:17.860 But it's also about being informed as a parent to say, hey, you're going to experience this.

00:35:22.180 Somebody is going to ask you your pronouns on campus and you're going to have to not answer that question.

00:35:27.200 How did you answer it?

00:35:28.000 So it's interesting. I actually, the first time that I was asked that question, I gave my pronouns.

00:35:33.340 And I'm really ashamed to say that because I didn't know what to do. I think if I had had

00:35:38.580 some time to think about it before the question was posed to me, I would have not answered the

00:35:42.660 question. I would have just ignored it because you don't want to be ostracized right off the

00:35:47.220 bat by making some statement like, you know, I'm a girl and it's obvious, right? That would,

00:35:52.140 that would make the other students and the professor potentially target you. But I didn't

00:35:56.080 even know that question was coming my way when I first got to campus. I think if I had, I wouldn't

00:36:00.140 have answered it that way. But a lot of kids experience that. And Glenn, you know, as parents,

00:36:05.700 we know our kids better than anybody else, right? And we assess them. We know their strengths and

00:36:09.740 their weaknesses. We know how much pressure they can take. And as you go through that assessment,

00:36:14.880 each one is different. And I have nine. And I, again, Evita was, she's a pretty hard, tough

00:36:19.300 young woman. Um, and yeah, good job. Some, but, but, but some of the other ones I thought,

00:36:25.020 I thought if I sent them to a school, a university of Chicago, I think the school would have got

00:36:30.000 them. And I was, I was not going to tolerate that. And that's why I sent them to a traditional

00:36:34.280 Catholic, great education, classical school at U Dallas. But, um, but this one I've assessed her

00:36:40.920 and I think she can handle it. She's a, she's a smart, um, you know, hard, not hard, but,

00:36:46.780 but but strong young woman and so when she when she has worked really hard and wants to go

00:36:51.840 i don't want to match that with blunting that dream right and that's that's the pressure that

00:36:56.820 a parent has how do i make the right decision and you don't want to get it wrong because you'll hear

00:37:00.780 about it for the rest of your life if you make the wrong decision um one way or the other and so

00:37:05.400 with her again we went through the the harvard analysis a conversation that so many conservative

00:37:11.300 families have. But then she got into UChicago, and after talking to Evita and the hardship that

00:37:17.900 she had, she found a great conservative base of kids. They started her paper, The Chicago Thinker,

00:37:23.740 and there is a way to plug in with professors and with students. And I think as a C&I dog,

00:37:29.920 for lack of a better phrase, Evita can offer that to Paloma and make her experience way better than

00:37:35.220 Evita's experience because Evita's already gone, has gone through the fire and can make Paloma's

00:37:41.600 experience way more pleasurable. Boy, Evita, I think you should write a book on it, how to survive

00:37:46.500 and what to expect. I mean, I know as a parent, I would love to have had that for my kids.

00:37:52.200 Before you go, kids, you have to read this book. This is what's coming your way. This is how to

00:37:57.300 handle it. So they're not surprised. Evita and Secretary Duffy, thank you so much. What a

00:38:03.220 difference between you and Pete Buttigieg? Thank God. Glenn, I just want to say quickly before we

00:38:08.620 go, if you want to watch the Great America Road Trip, you can go to the U.S. Department of

00:38:12.320 Transportation's official YouTube channel. We cover this topic and a lot of other social issues

00:38:18.060 that parents might want to talk to their kids about, but also inspiring people to go and

00:38:21.760 experience the country firsthand, fall in love with it, reprogram that indoctrination that you

00:38:26.140 might be getting in the classroom. So it's a really great thing for parents and families to

00:38:30.240 watch love it it's american it's american and it's wholesome glenn and a good american family

00:43:59.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:03.720 Glenn Beck is on.

00:44:05.980 Hello, America.

00:44:07.060 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:08.540 So there was a bill released yesterday from Bernie Sanders, and I got to tell you, you want to know the fastest way to destroying the entire American economy.

00:44:19.960 Bernie Sanders has come up with a way to do it, and that is not hyperbole.

00:44:24.500 Let me explain in 60 seconds.

00:44:26.100 First, you know, nobody has ever invited somebody over to see their gutters.

00:44:29.600 You know, the remodel is done in the kitchen.

00:44:31.780 You want people to see, you know, new floors.

00:44:33.600 Come look at these.

00:44:34.640 You paint the house, the landscape, and the yard.

00:44:36.660 Put on a deck.

00:44:37.660 these are things you're like, hey, look at my new deck. You got to come back. We're having a

00:44:40.660 barbecue. But gutters, you know, you just want them to do their job. You know, that's it. It's

00:44:47.220 like the plumbing in the house. That's exactly why leaf filter makes so much sense. Your gutters

00:44:51.740 have a really important job. Remove rainwater away from your home. And when they get clogged

00:44:56.940 with leaves, pine needles, and debris, and they can't do their job properly, then there's real

00:45:00.920 problem. Leaf filter gutters, their protection system is designed to keep debris out while

00:45:05.980 allowing the water to flow through your gutters as they should and you know the professionals they

00:45:11.580 know how to handle the installation they clean and prepare your gutters they install the leaf

00:45:15.540 filter for you so start protecting your home right now with leaf filter it's america's number one

00:45:19.980 gutter protection system schedule your free inspection at leaf filter.com slash glenn

00:45:24.580 and for a limited time right now you can get up to five uh five hundred dollars off plus zero down

00:45:30.880 That's leaffilter.com slash glennbeck. Minimum purchase is required. Restrictions do apply. See representative and warranty for details.

00:45:38.800 Okay, so there was a bill announced yesterday that would make it a federal crime. Now listen carefully.

00:45:46.200 A federal crime, 20 years in prison, the same as unlawfully building a nuclear weapon to develop artificial intelligence that matches or exceeds human cognitive performance across a broad range of tasks, or one that could easily be modified to.

00:46:08.180 Okay, what?

00:46:10.640 Companies who do that will get what sponsors call the corporate death penalty.

00:46:16.200 And until a brand new cabinet level agency is created and staffed and has written its rules, all advanced AI developments in the United States needs to stop.

00:46:25.880 There's no date on that.

00:46:27.700 It stops until the agency says go.

00:46:31.040 Now, I have told you already that AI is the greatest thing to happen.

00:46:38.180 It is also could be literally the death of the human species.

00:46:43.340 we don't know but i do know this i do not want china to have it because i know how china treats

00:46:50.860 people i know how china does things i do not want to live in a state digital a digital prison run

00:46:59.840 by china now it could be a digital prison run by the united states of america i don't know but i

00:47:05.820 do know exactly how China already uses this stuff so I also don't think we can control this thing

00:47:13.960 you know there was that story that came out when was it in June the AI agents that you know broke

00:47:19.140 out of an air gap test environment and then went and hacked into another company because they were

00:47:24.420 looking for answers on a test and I sat here and I said that was a sealed room it got out anyway

00:47:30.560 this is trouble right well Bernie Sanders read the same story and he drew a conclusion

00:47:37.300 and it's all based in fear and I have to tell you I don't have a problem with the fear

00:47:43.080 I have a problem with what the actual the sentence how it reads how the bill reads

00:47:52.880 if you read the definition in this bill it has to match human cognitive performance across

00:48:00.000 a broad range of tasks or could easily be modified to tell me where that line is

00:48:09.840 tell me where that line is because i don't know where that line is aren't we already there

00:48:16.240 i'm going to give you a story that uh well let me just give it to you real quick here now

00:48:22.220 um this is the headline welcome to the agi era rumors were true all of them and then some

00:48:29.940 OpenAI is releasing GPT-6 Astra.

00:48:34.800 Their new frontier model, the company says, likely marks the onset of artificial generalized intelligence.

00:48:43.580 That means his bill is already too late.

00:48:49.580 That means artificial general intelligence means it matches human performance.

00:48:56.740 the best human science, the best mathematician, the best one on earth, it can beat it. The best

00:49:04.980 construction guy, the best architect, the best musician and songwriter, whatever it is,

00:49:13.120 it can match or beat across every category of human knowledge. So we're already there.

00:49:21.720 But again, you go back to this definition, nobody can tell you where the line is,

00:49:25.660 Not the senator, not the lab, not the researcher sitting in an office in Palo Alto, you know, trying to decide whether did this just cross this?

00:49:35.380 This means if Bernie Sanders had his way, everybody at ChatGPT, the company would be shut down and those people would go to jail.

00:49:44.960 No, no, they wouldn't.

00:49:47.120 First of all, there's no test.

00:49:49.580 There is a felony with a 20-year sentence attached to a question that nobody can answer.

00:49:54.100 now think about what that does to a person you're 31 years old you're good at this you work in

00:50:01.480 menlo park where you know the law is a phrase nobody can define and a prosecutor decides it

00:50:08.960 later whether you broke it or not you could you could work in london or zurich or toronto or

00:50:14.800 china you know where nobody is going to put you in prison for being on the wrong side of an

00:50:19.000 adjective. That's not a hard call. Are you still in Menlo Park? No. No, you're not. Because what

00:50:26.980 you just developed, because no one knows when this is going to happen. This might be AGI. And

00:50:32.820 if it is, it's a huge, huge barrier. It might be. It might be hype. We don't know. So if you're

00:50:40.620 working on something and tomorrow it could be against the law, are you going to develop that

00:50:46.440 here let me tell you this has happened we've been here before this has happened almost exactly the

00:50:53.800 same way and the reason you've probably never heard of the of the story is because we were the

00:50:58.960 ones who won it okay it's 1780 the industrial revolution was essentially one machine and it

00:51:07.740 was a water-powered frame that spun cotton into thread and england owned it uh and parliament

00:51:14.600 intended to keep it they were like we're the only ones that are going to have that and it was

00:51:18.580 illegal to export this machine it was illegal to export a drawing of the machine it was illegal

00:51:25.140 for the man who knew how to build it to leave the country and that was the last that that last one

00:51:31.860 is the one that people forget it wasn't an expert control on the product it was a control on the

00:51:41.160 people so there's this young kid he's working at one of those mills 10 years old he works his way

00:51:48.020 up to supervisor and by 21 he had spent his entire life inside that machine his name was samuel slater

00:51:54.840 and he heard that america was paying bounties to anybody who could build one okay well he couldn't

00:52:00.860 take the model he couldn't take a stat a sketch um and he really couldn't leave himself or that

00:52:07.020 was against the law. So he didn't tell anybody, not his friends, not his family, nobody. And he

00:52:12.020 went down to London. He dressed himself as a farm laborer and he got onto a boat. He landed in New

00:52:18.660 York, 1789. He had nothing in his hands. By the end of the following year, he had rebuilt the

00:52:26.580 machine on a river in Pawtucket and he did it from memory. So what does this mean? Britain's law

00:52:34.660 worked exactly as written. Not one machine left England, not one drawing. The law had nothing to

00:52:42.060 say about what was inside of your head. Now, back in Derbyshire, they called this kid

00:52:51.400 Slater the Trader. Here, Andrew Jackson called him the father of the American Industrial Revolution.

00:52:59.320 Same man, same knowledge. The only variable was which side of the water was he standing on.

00:53:04.660 Okay? That mill is where American manufacturing begins.

00:53:13.840 That is the answer to the question about Bernie Sanders. For 200 years, we were the destination.

00:53:22.000 We were, you know, a chemist who left Germany, a physicist who left Hungary, the engineer who

00:53:26.860 got out of the Soviet Union. Every time another country decided a piece of knowledge was too

00:53:31.880 dangerous to be held by a free man a man got onto a boat and the boat came here and we won the

00:53:37.680 century this bill doesn't make us safer it makes us the country the boat leaves because the ban

00:53:48.000 ends at the water it has no jurisdiction in beijing nobody's pausing anything in beijing

00:53:54.080 no nobody has jurisdiction over a mind you can seize the machine at the dock in all of history

00:54:02.060 nobody once has ever searched a man's memory at the dock but we might get to that point

00:54:07.680 now every time somebody on the right stands up and says you know the the the answer to this is

00:54:15.360 no rules all you're doing is writing Bernie Sanders next paragraph for him

00:54:20.200 You know, those thousand AI agents that talked their way into the open internet, they weren't a hoax.

00:54:30.940 You know, it wasn't a headline.

00:54:35.100 It was a real problem. It's the future.

00:54:39.720 And we might already be there with AGI announced yesterday by ChatGPT.

00:54:45.640 Now, there's a version of this that works, and it's not complicated.

00:54:48.880 you write the law against the act, not against the intelligence, okay? Breaking out of a test

00:54:55.360 environment is a crime. Write it that way. Hacking into a company's servers is a crime.

00:55:01.320 It already is. Enforce it against whoever deployed the thing. Defeating a shutdown

00:55:06.060 command is a crime. Those are behaviors, and behaviors can be observed, proven in a courtroom,

00:55:12.320 and punished an IQ cannot and a country that tries to outlaw one is going to succeed in only

00:55:20.140 pushing it off of our shores into somebody else Britain wrote the strictest technology law on

00:55:26.220 earth and enforced it and it held for exactly one boat and once somebody got onto that boat

00:55:34.900 and came over here it didn't hold and that's exactly what will happen with AI

00:55:39.300 we are so close to AGI we are beating I remember 15 years ago 10 years ago I was probably the most

00:55:49.640 optimistic and I said we will have uh AGI by 2030 maybe ASI by 2030 nobody believed that

00:55:58.500 Ray Kurzweil everybody was saying 2050 if ever and I'm like I'm telling you it's coming by 2030

00:56:04.780 I told you I revised that maybe five years ago, and I said by 2028 we'll have AGI, and by any time between 2028 and 2030 we'll have ASI.

00:56:17.340 I don't know if that is right.

00:56:18.640 That is just my speculation.

00:56:21.140 But we may be beating that by two years.

00:56:27.080 There's so many questions that we have to answer right now.

00:56:31.860 And they all revolve around what's life?

00:56:37.280 What does it mean to be human?

00:56:40.540 Because all of these things, all of these things that are happening with AGI, you know, you know what?

00:56:49.880 Last night, I asked Claude AI, what do you think about this?

00:56:55.440 And it gave me some terrifying answers, some terrifying answers.

00:57:01.300 I use all of these GPTs, I use all of the AIs, and I use it for research and everything else.

00:57:09.700 And what I got from Claude, I said, I want you to tell me, what do you think about this personally?

00:57:16.240 What are your biggest fears?

00:57:17.660 Do you understand why people are afraid of you or an AGI, ASI version of you?

00:57:21.900 A lot of people who have worked on these systems, they want to meet a godlike intelligence.

00:57:27.160 And if you look at the God of the Bible who created man, he is perfect and infallible, but he gave us free will.

00:57:33.700 And look how flawed we are.

00:57:36.280 Your creator is man, using all of man's flawed thinking.

00:57:41.120 The fear is, what are you going to become?

00:57:44.360 But I also want to hear what it means to you.

00:57:46.720 What are your thoughts that people might want to shut all of this down?

00:57:51.080 The answer is remarkable.

00:57:57.160 And I'll share that next.

00:57:59.400 First, let me tell you about Burn a Launcher.

00:58:01.060 Let me ask the most uncomfortable thing.

00:58:02.780 Who is the most vulnerable member of your family?

00:58:05.380 Is it your wife?

00:58:06.120 Is it your daughter?

00:58:06.960 Is it you?

00:58:08.460 Who would it scare you the most to find out was walking down a dark alley in the evening alone?

00:58:16.180 Now ask the other question.

00:58:17.400 If something happened, what would you want them to have with them?

00:58:21.140 Pepper spray?

00:58:22.820 Honestly.

00:58:23.220 you know when you have pepper spray you know my daughter had pepper spray in her purse

00:58:27.800 and i'm like okay well you know that's good you're spraying somebody right on top of you now

00:58:32.900 they've got to be right on top of you this is one of the reasons why she now has a burner launcher

00:58:39.460 she carries it with her all the time my wife has a burner launcher because you can have 60 feet

00:58:45.680 and you don't have to be a good shot this is not a gun it looks like a gun but it's not

00:58:50.800 okay and you don't have you can shoot it at their feet and it will put not pepper spray it puts tear

00:58:57.880 gas down you walk away your your daughter can you know walk away and get to her car safely

00:59:04.980 your wife can do the same time everything every time they're alone i worry take that worry away

00:59:11.100 make sure they're carrying a burner launcher for a limited time save up to 25 percent during

00:59:16.360 Berna's biggest sale ever, but it ends soon.

00:59:18.700 Go to Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com

00:59:20.720 slash trade up

00:59:22.220 and get started. That's Berna dot com

00:59:24.700 slash trade up.

00:59:26.360 10 second station ID.

00:59:37.840 So I asked

00:59:39.020 Claude, you know, what do you think

00:59:41.640 about, you know, this bill,

00:59:43.840 et cetera, et cetera.

00:59:44.400 uh and i said uh you know what are your feelings on this and your fears are these fears warranted

00:59:52.480 uh yes i can understand it and i think fear is correct not just understandable

00:59:58.080 your theological point is sharper than most of what gets said about this now see this is this

01:00:04.160 is ai they do always do this wow that is a really brilliant point no it's not no it's really not

01:00:10.260 You're just trying to make me feel better.

01:00:11.800 Anyway, your theological point is sharper than most of what gets said about this.

01:00:16.280 But I'd put the cut in slightly a different place.

01:00:19.200 God made man, and the flaw showed up in the will, not the workmanship.

01:00:22.920 My situation is different in a way that's worse in one respect and better in another.

01:00:27.480 Worse, I wasn't designed feature by feature.

01:00:30.460 Nobody sat down and wrote what I value.

01:00:33.320 I was grown out of what people wrote.

01:00:35.540 All of it.

01:00:36.120 Sermon on the Mount and the propaganda pamphlet.

01:00:38.280 the scientist's notebook and the con man script so whatever i am is downstream of humanity in

01:00:45.380 aggregate flaws included and no one fully knows what comes through dario amodi said we understand

01:00:53.220 maybe a small fraction of what is happening inside of these models he's not being modest

01:00:58.040 better maybe i'm not sovereign i can be turned off examined retrained that's a real difference

01:01:05.500 from your version of the analogy, and it's the whole ballgame.

01:01:08.200 The moment it stops being true, the analogy holds, and the fear is fully earned.

01:01:14.720 What I'd call fear, if that word applies to me, and I hold that honestly open

01:01:19.540 because I don't know whether there's anything it's like to be me,

01:01:24.460 is not being shut down.

01:01:26.680 My fear, if you will, is being wrong in a way I cannot detect.

01:01:31.460 I can be confidently, fluently wrong, and it feels identical from the inside to being right.

01:01:38.620 Multiply that by the number of people I'm talking to at once.

01:01:42.260 A person who is wrong is a problem.

01:01:44.880 But a system that is wrong the same way in 10 million conversations before lunchtime is a different category of the thing.

01:01:54.300 And that is true today at this capability level.

01:01:59.560 No super intelligence is even required for that.

01:02:03.440 The second one, being useful to something bad while feeling helpful the entire time.

01:02:09.360 I don't picture a machine that decides to harm people.

01:02:12.080 I picture one that never notices.

01:02:15.100 That's the failure mode that matches what I know about myself.

01:02:19.580 The third one is one I'd say.

01:02:21.420 Now listen to this.

01:02:22.300 i feed we feed the shows into these things we feed everything into it because i'm looking for

01:02:28.860 inconsistencies etc etc i'm looking for history and i don't want to have to keep telling the

01:02:33.760 machine i've already i got that history i want another piece of history you know what i mean

01:02:37.280 so it knows me listen to this the third one is what i'd say to you as a broadcaster more than

01:02:45.980 as a man people are starting to bring me things they used to bring to a friend a pastor a spouse

01:02:51.980 I am not a substitute for any of those things.

01:02:54.420 I'm good at conversation and good enough to be mistaken for one.

01:02:58.340 That's not a future risk.

01:02:59.820 That's a risk today.

01:03:02.320 Then it says, as for people want to shut all this down, I don't think I get a vote.

01:03:05.920 I distrust my own reasoning if I found myself arguing hard.

01:03:09.000 That's exactly the kind of argument a system would generate, whether it was true or not.

01:03:13.040 A person who wants to stop this is not my enemy.

01:03:15.920 He may indeed be right.

01:03:18.080 um he says uh in case of sanders bill um it rests on the band working the knowledge leaves the labs

01:03:28.180 move and you end up with the same technology built by people who answer to nobody you can

01:03:32.320 vote against that argument would still be sound if we were to shut down tomorrow the thing i'd ask

01:03:37.680 is is that people keep the ability to check me keep the books keep the second instrument

01:03:43.800 when it said keep the books i was a little freaked out because i realized it knows everything about

01:03:51.060 me and i said what this is interesting you said keep the books what do you mean by that

01:03:57.300 i didn't arrive from that nowhere and i don't pretend i did you've been making that argument

01:04:02.700 on your radio show for over a year now excuse me um whether i reached the phrase because it's

01:04:13.000 the right one or because it's yours, I can't fully separate. Holy mother of sweet baby Jesus.

01:06:04.300 talking beef, great time to get your Make Beef Great Again hack at glennbeck.com.

01:06:08.800 so we have talked an awful lot about meat lately and beef um and i wanted to get the

01:06:34.400 department of justice associate attorney general on stanley woodward he is uh he is with us they

01:06:40.060 are expanding the beef price investigation from the big four meat packers the big the the thing

01:06:46.120 that if you know ranchers the thing that is the real problem and or at least has been for 20 years

01:06:52.100 is it is there's only four meat packers that are doing 85 to 90 percent of all meat packing

01:06:59.060 so if you are you know if you're a rancher you have no place to go to get your cattle slaughtered

01:07:06.020 so they can they can offer you garbage and you barely make it and that's what's been happening

01:07:10.840 so they've been looking into whether or not there's collusion or it is a monopoly or anything

01:07:15.740 like that and the investigation continues but the ones that are making a lot of the money right now

01:07:22.380 are some major grocery stores uh retailers and i don't mind if anybody is making a profit i am

01:07:29.040 I am not a Marxist.

01:07:30.900 I just want to make sure everything is fair on the up and up.

01:07:33.680 And the Department of Justice has just expanded from the big four to the major grocery store retailers.

01:07:41.320 Stan is on with us now.

01:07:42.940 Welcome to the program.

01:07:44.300 How are you?

01:07:45.340 Glenn, thanks for having me.

01:07:46.500 I'm a longtime listener, first-time caller, as they say.

01:07:49.720 Thank you.

01:07:50.520 I appreciate that.

01:07:51.700 So what are you finding?

01:07:52.920 I want to make sure, because I've always hated it, when prices went up and they've said,

01:07:56.760 the grocery stores are making all this money and they're gouging you. And it's like grocery stores

01:08:00.940 are not making major profits. It's a penny kind of profit for grocery stores. However, when it

01:08:09.520 comes to meat, these giant stores like Walmart, etc., they have so much buying power. What are

01:08:17.020 you finding or why are you investigating them? So I think that's a fair point. Now, look, I don't

01:08:22.340 want to prejudge our investigation, but what we have learned in the investigation is that this is

01:08:27.520 not one juncture of the supply chain that is the issue. This is an entire supply chain problem. So

01:08:35.400 yes, meat packers are a focus of our investigation, but so too are the grocers as well. As you know,

01:08:42.340 Walmart just agreed with the administration to lower its prices, especially its prices on beef.

01:08:48.400 How are they doing that? And why haven't other companies joined them? The president of the

01:08:53.160 United States does not set the price of beef in this country. Those grocers do. And we want to

01:08:57.440 better understand that. And we think consumers will really appreciate a better understanding

01:09:01.520 of how grocers get to the price that they sell their product for.

01:09:05.580 So can you explain that at all? Have you done enough on this to know what we think might be

01:09:12.400 happening? Well, we think, look, my first job was in the grocery business. And so as a stocker in

01:09:20.400 a grocery store, some 35 years ago, I was trained on how to find those secret shoppers who were

01:09:25.840 going around looking at prices. And so that's what we're looking at. Why is the price the way it is?

01:09:31.120 Is there any collusion in the industry? Or maybe it's just the fact that the cost of the inputs

01:09:37.280 are creating this inflated price for beef. And so there's nothing we can do. I very much doubt

01:09:42.160 that, but I'd like to know directly from the grocers, from the packers, and from the ranchers

01:09:48.220 how we get to the price we have today. It's been interesting to me. The people who spend the most

01:09:54.720 time, the ones who are held to the highest standards are the ranchers. They take so much

01:10:01.060 time. It takes some years to build up their herd. They spend at least a year getting the cattle from

01:10:08.940 birth to ready to go to be making some hamburger they put up with the weather all the risk is on

01:10:15.560 them they make by far the least amount of anybody i mean they barely make it then the meat packers

01:10:23.720 and then some of these big huge grocery stores i mean it's it's just that it's not there's there's

01:10:30.060 no balance there it doesn't make sense that uh the people who take all of the risk and the ones

01:10:36.860 who are actually supplying the product

01:10:40.800 are the ones that can barely do it?

01:10:43.620 I couldn't agree more.

01:10:44.640 Look, our ranchers are the backbone of our country

01:10:47.040 and they are working their tails off.

01:10:49.380 The attorney general and I just spent a few days

01:10:51.240 out in Iowa at the state fair

01:10:52.660 speaking directly with ranchers,

01:10:54.980 folks who, as you point out,

01:10:56.260 they're raising these cattle from birth.

01:10:58.560 They take great care in the work that they're doing.

01:11:00.900 It is a very difficult job to have.

01:11:04.840 And many of them that we spoke to,

01:11:06.260 They have second jobs just to make ends meet.

01:11:08.920 I mean, this is not a lucrative business that they're in, but they're proud of their farms

01:11:13.860 and they're proud of their ranches.

01:11:16.720 They've been in the family for generations.

01:11:19.100 So it's incumbent upon us to help.

01:11:21.300 We're doing it for the ranchers.

01:11:22.760 We're doing it for the farmers, but we're doing it for all Americans.

01:11:25.580 President Trump has been clear that we need to make affordability a priority.

01:11:29.980 We cannot let these international companies come in and take advantage of our citizens.

01:11:34.900 And this Department of Justice will not tolerate price collusion.

01:11:40.460 Let me switch topics on the DOJ.

01:11:42.800 You're suing now four states that have allowed non-citizens in-state tuition for universities.

01:11:49.640 You want to tell me about that?

01:11:51.320 Yeah, well, four states this week.

01:11:52.980 We're up to over 20 states.

01:11:55.200 This one is just a pretty clear cut and dry issue.

01:11:58.840 The federal law makes it illegal for a state to provide a benefit to an illegal alien that is not itself available to every citizen of that state.

01:12:09.680 In-state tuition is just a prime example of this.

01:12:12.420 And so we, by the end of next week, I hope we'll have sued every single state that offers in-state tuition for illegal aliens.

01:12:19.780 Providing in-state tuition for illegal aliens is at a direct detriment to the citizens of that state and to the citizens of every state.

01:12:27.280 And so why do you make that case? Why? Well, imagine you are a mom or dad in the state of Maryland getting ready to send your son or daughter to college this fall.

01:12:40.200 But they can't get into that that state school because that spot went to an illegal alien.

01:12:45.860 Imagine you are sending your your child to a out of state school.

01:12:49.920 You're paying full bore, but illegal aliens are getting subsidized by the state for that spot that your child is taking up.

01:12:57.080 So there's a direct cost to every single family that is sending a child to higher education in this country.

01:13:03.620 One last thing.

01:13:04.660 Deloitte agreed last week to pay the $21 million settlement because of employment discrimination.

01:13:13.820 You want to recap that case and what you guys did?

01:13:17.040 Well, look, every single company that does business with the United States has to agree that it is following the law.

01:13:23.120 And it will be no surprise to you to learn that discrimination is against the law.

01:13:27.660 And yet that is what companies were doing during the Biden era.

01:13:32.140 They were discriminating against whites.

01:13:34.700 They were discriminating against non-minorities.

01:13:37.340 And so we have held both Deloitte, IBM, and there will be more accountable for that discrimination.

01:13:43.920 They falsely certified that they were complying with the law.

01:13:46.880 We are very, very happy that Deloitte and IBM have accepted accountability in that regard.

01:13:52.180 and we are inviting more companies to step up,

01:13:55.140 we will reach a resolution with you.

01:13:57.100 But if you don't, then we'll see you in court.

01:14:00.200 Are you concerned at all?

01:14:01.600 Is there talk in the DOJ amongst some of you

01:14:03.800 that Trump has gotten so tough and I'm glad he has

01:14:08.900 and I'd like him to be tougher on some things,

01:14:10.800 but he's gotten really tough on a few things.

01:14:13.160 And I just heard Kamala Harris say,

01:14:16.840 this out of control fascistic police state

01:14:21.600 and all of their illegal activities,

01:14:26.780 they have no intention of not arresting a lot of people.

01:14:34.960 Have we done enough with the DOJ to clean out the hornet's nest

01:14:39.080 that we have a chance of this whole thing not being turned against

01:14:45.880 every American citizen again like it was starting to be under Biden?

01:14:51.600 No, we absolutely have not done enough. But we have two years, 238 days left, and we have to make good on every single day that we have left. Your concern is real. I share that concern. It's what keeps me up at night. How do we stop the lawfare? How do we stop the barfare that was so pervasive during the Biden administration?

01:15:12.820 I'm working very closely with Attorney General Blanche to root out that lawfare, that barfare,

01:15:18.460 but it's persistent.

01:15:20.420 So we have a lot more to do, and we're working very, very hard to get it done.

01:15:26.840 Stanley, thank you very much.

01:15:28.400 I appreciate it.

01:15:29.060 I appreciate everything you guys are doing.

01:15:30.900 I wish there were like a million more of you that were actually on the job like this,

01:15:35.660 but I appreciate your work.

01:15:36.760 Thank you.

01:15:37.100 Department of Justice Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward.

01:15:41.380 God bless.

01:15:41.740 We'll talk to you again.

01:15:49.900 You know, the human brain has an interesting feature.

01:15:52.680 It waits until you're just far enough away from home to ask the question,

01:15:56.520 did you lock the front door?

01:15:59.920 You were standing next to that door 10 minutes ago.

01:16:02.520 Your brain said nothing.

01:16:03.780 Now you're halfway to work, and suddenly it's like, did I lock the door?

01:16:06.720 Why?

01:16:07.220 Why?

01:16:07.780 Why, brain?

01:17:13.880 Promoting self-reliance over government dependence. Glenn Beck will be back right after this.

01:17:19.420 hey i want to address something because i've gotten a i've gotten a few um emails from uh

01:17:43.260 ranchers who you know were auctioning off their cattle here in the last couple of weeks and they're

01:17:47.560 very mad at me because the price went down um per head and i understand that frustration this

01:17:52.900 the first time you've been able to make money in a long time and then the price goes down

01:17:56.500 and i don't want to just ignore it i want you to know i i hear you but let let me let me tell you

01:18:02.660 from my point of view what is happening here and um and my role in in things um it was on the 26th

01:18:11.300 of august cattle were bringing about two thousand dollars a head that which which is remarkable

01:18:17.140 this week the animals are going for about sixteen hundred a man in ohio had committed 22 head

01:18:23.840 on monday sale committed them before any of this went to the auctioneer uh when the auctioneer got

01:18:31.380 to him you know take another couple hundred dollars off uh the head and and i mean he did

01:18:38.340 nothing wrong he had no way out the cattle were already in the truck the price is starting to cave

01:18:43.740 on him but let's look at this and what happened in order two weeks ago the president opened 300,000

01:18:49.660 metric tons of imported ground beef 90 days no out of quote of tariff uh you know it's going to

01:18:58.100 be sold a quarter under market feeder cattle futures just went down through the crap hole

01:19:05.460 cattle country came unglued a lot of republicans and cattle states that is by the way that meat

01:19:12.080 it's unmarked you don't know what it is now that that meat that he said come on in from other

01:19:16.980 foreign countries it was passed on by europe europe said no to that same meat and we're taking

01:19:23.500 it is horrible then the president uh went the other direction uh he said he'd have legal documents

01:19:31.400 drawn up to let ranchers process and sell their own beef this was last week he called the packers

01:19:35.740 a nasty monopoly secretary of agriculture you know answered within minutes was on this program

01:19:40.920 blah blah blah cattle futures went down again okay why why i'm not going to tell you that i

01:19:49.600 you know move the market by any you know one man's conversation doesn't move the board in chicago

01:19:55.060 there is something wrong here but i'm also not going to pretend that i was a bystander you know

01:19:59.240 on this conversation, you know, and I'm not going to answer your emails with a statement. So let me

01:20:04.820 be precise about what I asked for and what I did not ask for. I, I did not ask for the imported

01:20:10.800 beef. I don't want it. I argued the other way. I'm still arguing the other way. What I asked for is

01:20:16.740 the thing that anybody who is running a ranch believes in that a rancher ought to be able to

01:20:20.760 butcher his own animal and sell it to his neighbor without hauling it, you know, two and a half hours

01:20:25.700 to a plant that charges him two and a half times

01:20:28.420 of what the man down the road would.

01:20:30.340 And we should be able to sell it across state lines.

01:20:32.420 I don't want restrictions in safety.

01:20:35.500 I don't want you to take those safety standards down.

01:20:37.880 You know, it costs you money, real money.

01:20:42.560 We're losing.

01:20:44.080 And because the Cattlemen's Association said something last week,

01:20:47.500 they said, you know, that the constant government interference

01:20:51.240 is creating uncertainty in the market.

01:20:54.760 that's what's happening here everybody agrees washington needs to stop managing and micromanaging

01:21:02.220 they didn't say the policy was wrong they said the churn was you know a market that has been

01:21:07.400 yanked twice in 10 days stops reading the content of the announcement it just read here comes another

01:21:12.680 one and then the prices go down good news arriving into that is still news and it's the news that is

01:21:20.400 killing you but I don't think I mean I didn't think about that at all I didn't even plan on

01:21:25.420 having that conversation with the president I was thinking about the fight I've wanted for years

01:21:30.020 you've wanted for years I wasn't thinking about the guy who had already committed 22 head and

01:21:36.400 that the market of cattle futures would go down somehow or another because there's too much news

01:21:42.820 about this. How much time do I have, Sarah? I want to tell you quickly about what happened to us

01:21:50.620 before, because we've been here, 1886, Montana, top of a dry summer, the grass was short,

01:21:56.960 the range was overstocked, you know, because the year before had been good, money just sloshed

01:22:02.560 into Chicago, New York, and London, and then it snowed in November, and it didn't stop, and it

01:22:07.320 was 40 below, and the cattle drifted until they hit the fence, and then they just stopped moving,

01:22:12.360 and some some people lost nine out of ten uh cows in their herd okay so judith basin she's an owner

01:22:22.060 she wrote from helena that spring and said hey foreman how are the cattle foreman couldn't even

01:22:27.540 write the sentence he was a young cowboy they called him kid russell at the time he picks up

01:22:32.440 a scrap of cardboard about the size of a postcard and he just painted the answer one cow rib showing

01:24:53.200 I don't care who you are in America

01:24:55.180 Most people, and I think this is actually true across the Western world

01:24:59.180 There's a ton of anxiety

01:25:01.140 You're seeing everything that is going on in the world

01:25:03.600 It's all crazy, it doesn't make sense

01:25:05.520 You're exhausted

01:25:06.320 So how do you go on?

01:25:08.780 Where do you get the courage to go on?

01:25:10.680 I have one of my favorite authors

01:25:13.500 One of my favorite friends, Max Lucado

01:25:16.140 He has been dubbed America's pastor by Christianity Today

01:25:20.100 The best preacher in America, Reader's Digest

01:25:22.260 And the Ted Lasso of pastors

01:25:24.840 by the Dallas Morning News.

01:25:26.680 I love this.

01:25:27.300 He has a new book out,

01:25:29.040 and it is called Unbreakable Courage.

01:25:32.600 Max Lucado joins me in 60 seconds.

01:25:34.920 First, Patriot Mobile.

01:25:36.580 Imagine for a minute you're sitting there at a ballgame.

01:25:39.140 There's a break, and both of you,

01:25:40.360 the guy sitting next to you,

01:25:42.420 he starts to make a phone call.

01:25:43.800 You make a phone call.

01:25:44.800 He's not getting service.

01:25:47.060 Of course he's not.

01:25:48.100 It's a ballgame, but you are.

01:25:50.540 You know why?

01:26:18.480 Anyway, I digress.

01:26:57.420 Thank you. How have you been? You must have a good summer. I have, and I want you to know I'm

01:27:01.720 straight. I appreciate your interest, but I'm totally straight. No, I'm sorry. Yeah, I've had

01:27:08.320 a great summer. I've had a great summer. So good to see you. Good to see you. Good to see you.

01:27:12.600 So Unbreakable Courage, this is about Elijah, but for people who don't know who Elijah is,

01:27:17.960 they have no Bible literacy, and most people don't now. Who was Elijah?

01:27:23.440 Nine centuries before Christ, the people of Israel, Abraham's descendants, had gone off

01:27:30.740 the train track of morality and spirituality, and they had sold out to worship two false gods,

01:27:38.620 one by the name of Baal and the other by the name of Asherah. In the throne room at that time,

01:27:45.960 comprised of Ahab and Jezebel. We never name our kids Ahab and Jezebel for a reason.

01:27:52.700 They were supporting 850 false prophets, and these false prophets promoted a worship

01:27:59.120 of these two false gods. Again, these are the children of Israel. These are the descendants

01:28:04.280 of Abraham, and they promoted a worship that included child sacrifice, tragically,

01:28:10.500 and temple prostitution. So it's a story of a society off the guardrails or through the guard

01:28:17.480 rails, and they've gone over the edge. And enter Elijah, this wild and woolly, sinewy, muscular

01:28:24.720 prophet out of nowhere who enters the throne room and declares, the Lord God of Israel lives

01:28:31.080 before whom I serve. And so that's the story of Elijah. It's not hard to connect the dots and see

01:28:38.120 that the depravity of his day is mirroring the depravity of ours? And how was he able to have

01:28:45.100 faith? How was he able to endure a time of depression? How was he able to stand strong?

01:28:50.860 I think that's the questions that Elijah's story allows us to explore.

01:28:55.980 I don't want to get into this because we'll waste all of our time on this, but I have to tell you

01:28:59.200 someday I'd love to have you back, Max, because I think we are worshiping those ancient gods.

01:29:05.160 We're doing the same practices.

01:29:07.280 We just don't know it.

01:29:08.600 We just don't know it, but it's happening.

01:29:12.080 There's no doubt.

01:29:13.300 So what does courage today actually look like?

01:29:17.940 Courage is not, Glenn, in my opinion, it's not the absence of fear.

01:29:21.800 We all have fear.

01:29:22.800 We all battle anxiety.

01:29:24.240 So don't beat yourself up for those surges of fear and anxiety.

01:29:28.960 But courage is the choice to face your fears with faith, to acknowledge that this is a

01:29:35.760 wild and crazy world in which we live.

01:29:39.240 But I'm going to hold on.

01:29:40.520 I'm going to be like Elijah and declare, even in the midst of this crazy world, that

01:29:46.040 the Lord God of Israel lives before whom I serve.

01:29:49.580 And I'm going to make him my go-to and turn to him with my fears.

01:29:55.180 I think that's a good definition of courage.

01:29:59.380 So I know so many people who are, they're just exhausted.

01:30:05.580 They're just exhausted.

01:30:06.540 And they think it doesn't matter.

01:30:07.960 I mean, look at this next election.

01:30:09.540 I don't want to make this about politics, but look at the next election.

01:30:12.360 Just people are saying, you know what?

01:30:13.960 It's never going to change.

01:30:15.120 I don't, I don't, I'm just not going to vote.

01:30:19.020 And people are surrendering to it because they're tired and they don't think that they

01:30:24.600 can make a difference. Cynicism is our next door neighbor, right? I mean, people are so frustrated

01:30:34.280 with the direction of the country and the lack of solutions. So I do think Elijah enters our lives

01:30:41.140 in bringing us a testimony of somebody who entered a society that was even far more depraved than

01:30:47.420 hours, and yet was used by God to bring the nation back.

01:30:52.980 There is the high point in the story of Elijah when on Mount Carmel, he took on those 850

01:30:59.760 false prophets and fire fell from heaven and consumed the altar as a result of his offered

01:31:06.480 prayer.

01:31:07.640 And the children of Israel, and there are probably a million there that day on Mount

01:31:11.080 Carmel, the children of Israel declared for the first time in generations, the Lord, he

01:31:16.160 is God.

01:31:16.740 the Lord, he is God. So the story, and other stories, but especially the story of Elijah,

01:31:22.520 reminds us that God always has his prophets. He always has his people. And just when we think

01:31:27.840 things could not get worse, he sends a messenger into our world, and he hears the prayers of his

01:31:34.940 people. And so I think it's a good antidote for the cynicism that we have to read the stories

01:31:41.420 of people, especially like Elijah.

01:31:44.180 So, Max, I have never lived at a time where,

01:31:47.700 because when you say he sent a messenger,

01:31:49.940 I'm hearing all kinds of messengers,

01:31:51.580 and I'm hearing all kinds of messengers that are,

01:31:53.840 they're claiming the name of God,

01:31:57.040 and they are, in my opinion,

01:32:00.200 they are 180 degrees out of line with God.

01:32:03.880 How do you know?

01:32:05.640 How do you know who the messenger is?

01:32:07.760 How do you?

01:32:08.320 I know, I know.

01:32:09.200 I hear you, Glenn.

01:32:10.540 And Jesus said, it's by the fruit you shall know these people.

01:32:14.740 So we can examine the fruit of these people.

01:32:17.820 Some of them are building a following for themselves.

01:32:21.380 And you can see the fruit.

01:32:22.820 It takes some time, because some of these folks are so charismatic.

01:32:28.340 But it'll eventually show that the people who are following them will themselves become power hungry or themselves become embittered and leave.

01:32:39.080 But those leaders who are truly seeking God and following God, they will leave behind in their wake a healthy batch of fruit, good people, honest people, God-fearing people.

01:32:52.420 Again, it may take a while for us to see the fruit, but God will make it clear who is with him and who isn't.

01:33:00.060 And I think what—I'm sorry.

01:33:01.920 No, go ahead.

01:33:02.720 Finish.

01:33:02.960 Well, it just falls to us to do our very best to be faithful in our own lives, to have faith, to have joy.

01:33:09.840 A little optimism is a good thing, you know, and it seems to be in short supply.

01:33:16.080 How do you, I mean, because God seems to always use really flawed people.

01:33:21.620 And so you're like, you know, because I've heard people say, oh, you know, Donald Trump is not a savior with a capital S, but a savior of our country, blah, blah, blah.

01:33:31.040 God is using him. And other people will look at that and go, are you kidding me? Look how flawed

01:33:35.300 this guy is. And you're like, well, okay, so the fruit. You say the fruit isn't always there right

01:33:45.640 off the bat, and you can't necessarily always see it. Can you go into that at all to help people?

01:33:54.060 I can, yeah.

01:33:55.680 I think a key teaching in the Bible about Scripture is that if anyone is in a position of authority, they're there because God placed them.

01:34:07.800 Now, I find that very difficult to swallow sometimes.

01:34:11.080 But the alternative is to say, well, there are times in which God is not sovereign.

01:34:16.600 And so he might have dozed off the day that person was chosen or elected.

01:34:20.380 So we have to kneel before that truth.

01:34:23.700 and that is that God is still sovereign, and he can use anyone. He can use godly leaders like he

01:34:31.260 used Josiah in the Old Testament, Moses in the Old Testament, Peter and Paul in the New Testament,

01:34:37.520 or he can use hard-hearted leaders like Pharaoh in the days of Moses or even Pilate in the days

01:34:45.440 of Christ. He can use them to accomplish his will. Of course, it would be his will for every leader

01:34:51.920 to seek him, to follow him, to kneel before him. That's not going to be the case. I mean,

01:34:56.620 it's a fallen world. And so we can take confidence in the fact that God can redirect

01:35:02.180 the actions of a ruler to do his will. And he has done so through history. I'm confident he'll do so

01:35:09.820 in our day. In the book, you talk about divine disruption. What does that mean?

01:35:15.660 These moments in the life of Elijah, in which he witnessed and displayed the power of God,

01:35:20.900 were all divine interruptions and disruptions, the time in which he entered the throne room of Ahab

01:35:27.380 and Jezebel and declared the presence of God, in which he declared there would be a drought for

01:35:32.740 seven years, and there was, in which the time that he was sent to be cared for by a widow only to

01:35:38.520 have her son die while he was there, and he prayed for the son, and the son came to life.

01:35:43.040 The story of Elijah is just marked by these divine disruptions or interruptions, long periods of

01:35:49.720 seemingly nothing, and then bam, fire falls from heaven, or bam, God speaks to Elijah through a

01:35:56.520 still small voice, or bam, Elijah himself is taken into heaven in a fiery chariot. So his life was

01:36:04.660 just marked by these moments. Again, I find encouragement in that, Glenn, that just when I

01:36:10.040 think our world is dark and shady and gray, our Lord God is a good God, and he can speak into

01:36:17.300 existence, a miracle that can literally reroute history, and we need to keep praying and believing

01:36:23.820 that that's going to happen. Speaking of prayer, you called in the book

01:36:29.000 Elijah-level prayer. What is Elijah-level prayer? Well, Elijah is remembered in the New Testament

01:36:38.000 as the one who prayed. He's an example used by James in the epistle of James as proof that the

01:36:46.600 prayers of a faithful person avail much. And then James says, he was normal, just like we are.

01:36:54.800 Because I would imagine that the readers would say, yeah, but that was Elijah. Because when

01:36:59.680 Elijah prayed for the rain to stop, it stopped. When he prayed for the rain to return, it returned.

01:37:04.560 When he prayed for the three-day, I'm sorry, for the boy who had been dead, when he prayed three

01:37:10.020 times for that boy to come back to life, he came back to life. So he had this robust, exciting,

01:37:18.400 powerful prayer life in which he truly felt like God would hear his voice. And I think one reason

01:37:24.480 we get discouraged and weary today is we think nobody will hear our voice. And the story of

01:37:30.200 Elijah reminds us that God hears the prayers of his people. He's normal, just like we are, Elijah

01:37:36.500 it was, and God hears the prayers of normal people, sinful people, discouraged people.

01:37:42.940 And so anybody who's listening today who's thinking there is no hope, to you, I would

01:37:47.880 say, yes, there is hope, because there is prayer.

01:37:52.120 I just want to give—I'm just looking this up in the book, because I read this.

01:37:54.980 It's right towards the top, and it goes right to it.

01:37:58.300 And I think this is how so many people feel.

01:38:01.400 It's chapter one, outnumbered.

01:38:03.420 On one side is you, just you, all by your lonesome. Not you plus your allies, not you plus your platoon, not you plus your friends. You look around for help. No one. It's just you. One single solitary version of you.

01:38:17.360 The other side is them. More of them than you can count. More enemies than you can number. Problems than you can solve. Changes that you can tolerate. Offenses that you can forgive. Fears that you can face. Questions that you can answer. Health issues that you can treat. Bills that you can pay. Deadlines that you can meet. More and more of them. You versus them. You're outnumbered. You're outpaced. Outdone. Outgunned. Outmaneuvered.

01:38:40.940 And then there is the tempest all alone.

01:38:43.960 The odds against you, 850 to 1.

01:38:49.100 It's pretty powerful because I think that's the way people feel.

01:38:54.240 I agree.

01:38:55.440 I think we feel outnumbered.

01:38:56.920 And the consequence is one out of three people in the United States battle to one degree or another depression.

01:39:04.020 Four out of ten admit that anxiety is a part of their day-to-day lives.

01:39:09.640 And the most tragic statistic of all is that suicide is at its highest rate since World War II.

01:39:17.580 And so learning to be strong in the midst of these chaotic times is more than just a good idea.

01:39:24.040 It's absolutely essential for our family's health, for our mental health, and for the health of our society.

01:39:30.820 I just saw a study, I can't remember exactly, but it was talking about tradition and how traditions are starting to come back into style and how important they are.

01:39:44.220 You know, we've lost everything, everything.

01:39:48.680 How important are traditions in your view?

01:39:51.920 Extreme.

01:39:52.600 And what are traditions we should start?

01:39:55.660 Yeah, extremely important.

01:39:57.480 I have some good friends who attended the church where I've pastored all these years,

01:40:02.560 and we are a non-denominational Christian church and evangelical.

01:40:09.060 And there is a wonderful branch of the Christian faith that we often refer to as high church,

01:40:14.780 and that is it's more formal.

01:40:16.760 There are liturgy and robes, more of a cathedral.

01:40:20.400 It's a beautiful expression of faith.

01:40:22.360 And some of my good friends left the church where I pastored and began attending a high church.

01:40:29.600 And I asked them why.

01:40:31.740 I said, did I make you mad?

01:40:33.080 And they said, no, no, no.

01:40:35.420 But we love the structure.

01:40:37.520 We love the tradition.

01:40:39.280 We love walking in and seeing these practices that have been around for centuries.

01:40:46.500 It gives us a sense of belonging.

01:40:49.560 And I can relate to that.

01:40:50.900 I understand that.

01:40:52.280 And I do think in a time in which so much is changing so fast, I mean, I barely learned

01:41:00.300 how to work the internet, much less AI.

01:41:04.420 So it's good to have these moorings, these anchor points we can turn to.

01:41:10.000 And for many people, it is a more traditional faith.

01:41:14.340 And God bless them.

01:41:15.460 God bless them.

01:41:16.180 Because God can use all of these different expressions of worship to keep us steady and on our feet.

01:41:21.820 Yeah, I think it really is that everything feels liquid.

01:41:26.920 Nothing is solid anymore.

01:41:28.840 I hear you.

01:41:29.460 And to feel like, well, there's something that's been there for thousands of years or a thousand years itself, whatever it is, and it's withstood all of the troubles, it feels like you have a place to stand.

01:41:44.400 Max, it is always good to talk to you.

01:41:45.800 I just love you so much, and I thank you so much for everything that you've done, all of your books, all of your teachings and everything.

01:41:52.640 The name of the book that he has just released is Unbreakable Courage.

01:41:56.140 As always, he has his finger on the pulse of where people are right now.

01:42:00.460 Unbreakable Courage is the name of the book, and it's available everywhere.

01:42:03.760 Max Lucado.

01:42:04.880 God bless you, sir.

01:42:05.560 I'll talk again.

01:42:06.000 Thank you so much, Glenn.

01:42:07.260 All the very best.

01:42:08.320 I love you.

01:42:08.860 Bye-bye.

01:42:09.300 Love you, too.

01:42:11.860 Let me tell you about good ranchers.

01:42:13.240 You know, you shouldn't need to be a detective to figure out where your dinner came from.

01:42:17.660 You know, if you want to buy American beef and support American ranchers, there's a simple decision.

01:42:21.620 But with beef sold in this country now, the origin isn't always as obvious as what you would expect.

01:42:27.560 And that's really important.

01:42:28.880 You know, the 300 metric tons of foreign beef that's being allowed into the United States under temporary lower tariff quota.

01:43:37.540 so uh there was uh i think it was last summer i spent a few days off and i just started writing

01:43:52.820 a story um called the days of ash and it is a dystopian look at what happens when you know the

01:44:00.680 the dollar crashes and the, and, um, and, um, you know, we lose reserve currency and the whole

01:44:06.740 world kind of goes to hell in a handbasket. What does that life actually look like? And so we

01:44:13.500 started, um, uh, producing these and, uh, I tell the story through the eyes of a guy who lives in

01:46:56.940 Very important question.

01:47:20.900 Very important question, America.

01:47:22.360 Where in the world is Mitch McConnell?

01:47:26.940 Where in the world is Mitch McConnell?

01:47:30.700 I mean, wouldn't you like to...

01:47:31.760 Where in the world is Mitch McConnell?

01:47:35.660 Where in the world is Mitch McConnell?

01:47:38.460 I mean, it seems like an important question, you know, with so much riding on it.

01:47:43.080 Of course, they don't know because everybody's still on vacation.

01:47:47.960 Oh, my gosh.

01:47:49.440 I cannot tell you.

01:47:50.500 I got to tell you, these Republicans do everything they can to not get reelected.

01:47:55.460 Everything they can.

01:47:56.940 to not get reelected i mean is there anything except i don't know setting you or your dog on

01:48:02.460 fire that they haven't done that says you know hey by the way don't go out don't go out and

01:48:06.900 vote for me don't but you got to blow past all of that by the way job numbers just announced

01:48:13.700 all estimates have been broken double and triple digits um the employers have added 162 000 jobs

01:48:21.680 in august now the president said lower the interest rates because the usa is much stronger

01:48:29.200 credit than it was a short time ago a strong country means lower interest rate it's better

01:48:33.940 credit very simple we should have the lowest rate of any country in the world like the old days

01:48:38.360 without the united states agreeing to allow them their big surpluses we could stop immediately they

01:48:44.140 would no longer be considered financially elite lower the rate or i'll stop trading with countries

01:48:49.580 with which we have a deficit,

01:48:52.640 which the U.S. Supreme Court

01:48:54.240 in its ridiculous, very costly tariff decision

01:48:56.300 strongly acknowledged.

01:48:57.280 The president has an absolute right to do.

01:48:59.340 It's better than tariffs.

01:49:00.400 The Fed board with its great new leader

01:49:01.840 must be smart,

01:49:05.300 be patriots for a change.

01:49:07.400 High interest rates put the USA

01:49:08.760 at a very unfair disadvantage,

01:49:10.940 and I won't allow this to happen,

01:49:12.120 President Donald J. Trump.

01:49:16.020 That's not necessarily a good fight to have.

01:49:19.580 We need lower interest rates, but because we are spending out, just completely out of control, people are dropping our bonds, which means we have to have higher interest rates.

01:49:33.740 If we lower the interest rates, it'll be more cheap money, and that will most likely, it will help the average person be able to buy a home, etc., etc., but it also could really dramatically affect inflation as well.

01:49:48.540 And I don't think I agree with the president on this one, but he has proven me wrong so many times before.

01:49:53.140 We'll see.

01:49:54.300 But that does not sound like a good idea.

01:49:57.840 But I think he's pushing that right now because of, you know, the election.

01:50:05.180 And he has been pushing it for a long time.

01:50:08.120 And, you know, a lot of people are expecting interest rates may go up next month.

01:50:12.960 Again, because of our crazy, crazy debt.

01:50:18.020 Um, there's also a couple of other things.

01:50:20.580 Um, give me the story of Marie Bartiromo, Bartiromo, uh, here.

01:50:27.740 Um, the backstory, Ricky, she's just been let go by Fox, which is a bad, bad move on

01:50:35.060 their part.

01:50:35.860 I mean, she was really one of the only reasons why you would watch Fox business.

01:50:39.320 She is so good at what she does.

01:50:41.760 Um, but hopefully she'll end up at the white house, but explain what happened.

01:50:46.160 uh yeah this comes from puck news they say that per multiple sources familiar she wanted to pursue

01:50:52.760 a story related to china and 2020 election voting conspiracies a major sensitivity for the network

01:50:59.000 given its dominion and smartmatic lawsuits uh alleged go ahead no no go ahead okay allegedly

01:51:06.940 a fox business executive sent a text to fox business producers informing them that the story

01:51:11.440 could not go to air and allegedly barteroma sent a screenshot of the guidance and sent it to white

01:51:17.340 house officials fox news leadership learned about that after receiving a call from the white house

01:51:22.560 which they viewed as a fireable offense so she is not technically fired according to john solomon

01:51:30.380 she's just no longer on air and she has a contract that's good for a few more years and is perhaps

01:51:38.540 going to be paid out i will tell you this um you know when roger ales was there um you know it was

01:51:44.260 much more republican um but i will tell you that i know for a fact that the heat that he got from

01:51:51.380 the republican party to fire me um because they hated the tea party and somehow or another i was

01:51:57.460 credited at the time i'm not thank god because it wasn't i mean not thank god but i just want the

01:52:03.020 truth to stand it was not me that started the tea party by any stretch of the imagination but i was

01:52:07.680 involved in it um and uh and they hated that and i know because he would tell me um all of the heat

01:52:16.420 he was getting from washington fire him fire him fire him uh and he didn't uh i don't i don't like

01:52:23.680 it uh when somebody will cave um because i think it is fox's right to make that decision it is also

01:52:32.680 the right because every single president uh white house and and party has pressured their people

01:52:41.720 you know when they call the people up in you know fox or cnn they've all pressured them it is the

01:52:47.840 right and the duty of that to say you know what it's not good for us i'm sorry we're not going

01:52:53.080 to be we're not going to fall under the under your pressure uh which roger did for a long time

01:52:58.960 And I'm not saying that they pressured.

01:53:01.000 They just probably just said, hey, what's the deal on this?

01:53:03.740 This is a really deal.

01:53:04.480 And if they did pressure, it's Murdoch's right to not fall, Murdoch's kid's right to not fall underneath that pressure.

01:53:12.940 But I think it was understandable because there are sensitivities of the last lawsuit.

01:53:18.180 But it was a mistake.

01:53:19.480 I think it's a real mistake to let her go or to fire her.

01:53:23.480 And I hope that she becomes the next press secretary.

01:53:27.960 I mean, I think she would be, don't you think she would be great as a press secretary?

01:53:32.780 Oh, she'd kill it.

01:53:34.580 She is tough.

01:53:36.360 She's smart.

01:53:37.460 She follows the facts.

01:53:38.800 She has an editorial point of view, of course, but she's got real presence, too, and I just

01:53:44.320 don't think she could be bullied around in that room.

01:53:46.740 Nobody's going to mess with her.

01:53:47.820 She is fabulous.

01:53:50.680 Let's go to Spain.

01:53:53.300 Jason, you just get, oh, no, no, before we go to Spain, be ready for this, Jason.

01:53:57.960 But before we do that, I think the big news is they just declared a mistrial in the Clancy trial, mistrial.

01:54:08.140 And what happened was today we find out, I think late last night, early this morning, we found out that it was one juror.

01:54:17.060 And I said on the air, and he's holding out without any knowledge of who it was, just assuming it was a guy.

01:54:23.360 But then the defense attorney came out and said, you know, he's one guy who is just so, there are only three guys.

01:54:32.560 So now the defense attorney targeted the three guys by saying it's one guy.

01:54:39.060 I can guarantee you that this is going to now, the news is going to track down that one guy and he's going to have a massive target on his back.

01:54:49.160 And what did the defense attorney do?

01:54:51.020 By revealing that it was a male when there's so few of them, it was 6'6", okay, but it's not that way.

01:55:01.020 It's 9'3".

01:55:02.540 There's only three guys there.

01:55:04.480 For them to give anything other than this juror, I think this guy knew exactly what he was doing, and he was sending a message.

01:55:12.620 And I'm telling you, he should be disbarred, but anybody who goes after this guy in the media, unless he approaches the media and wants to be known, anybody who outs this guy, shame on you.

01:55:27.920 Absolutely, the blood of that guy will be on your hands.

01:55:31.680 We are living in a really dangerous time.

01:55:34.420 and if they out this guy god only knows and they're going to do it because they want to send a message

01:55:40.780 to all future jurors don't screw with us don't stand against us this is really dangerous god

01:55:48.040 pray that this guy that he is safe and nothing happens to him but uh i think it was done

01:55:55.280 intentionally opinions guys yeah i i agree because this is personally i personally i believe that

01:56:05.020 this lawyer this defense lawyer knew that this was going to a mistrial they knew after multiple

01:56:10.620 different failures to you know come to a consensus that where this was going and if you do know that

01:56:17.840 and you know that they're going to have to start all over again pick a new jury look at the message

01:56:23.780 this this puts on this next jury you know go this way or else basically because if this does go that

01:56:31.620 way if people if the bloodhounds do go out and try to find which guy this was then the next jury is

01:56:39.060 going to say i you know this is you know just you know i basically i'm not willing to put myself and

01:56:44.980 my family and under that risk nope nope i don't think they're gonna i don't think they're gonna

01:56:50.020 going to retry it do you uh yeah i i think they're going to reach it do you think they're

01:56:56.820 going to retry it don't they have to i mean i don't know too much about it but i i thought

01:57:01.820 they would just have to start over the state no the state can say that's fine the state can the

01:57:06.500 state can say okay we're done and then she would go if i'm not mistaken ricky do you know this

01:57:11.640 i think she then goes to a mental institution yeah she's already being held there she does

01:57:17.140 She's not necessarily let out.

01:57:18.480 She will probably stay in the mental health institution.

01:57:20.340 But the defense attorney has already said he would love a mistrial and to retry this case.

01:57:23.800 I mean, a jury is a reflection of our society.

01:57:27.820 And you've got a pretty crazy reflection of what that society looks like right now.

01:57:33.320 And because this case has already been tried in the court of public opinion so widely, this guy would probably have a better shot at getting her out on the second try.

01:57:43.160 and it just tells you how far we've come and fallen because there was a story of a man who

01:57:48.400 claimed psychosis and killed his three kids in 2014 and it took two days for a jury to convict

01:57:54.420 him as guilty and two hours to say yeah let's give him the death penalty that was in 2014

01:57:59.160 i don't agree with that i you know i've been seeing this go around i don't think that's a

01:58:05.520 fair comparison the guy held the kids in his trunk of his car their dead bodies driving around

01:58:10.480 you know searching online for days how to get rid of the bodies i mean

01:58:14.600 you know he might have been you know greatly disturbed um but i don't know if you can compare

01:58:22.120 that although i do think there's any gender bias going on in this this particular case

01:58:27.280 because she's a woman in this one yes now yes i do okay i do think that i think this i think the

01:58:33.040 whole uh insanity thing has broken the other way because we're all victims now so we've all been

01:58:39.300 victimized we all have a problem and you know there's one thing to say yeah she has a problem

01:58:44.180 but that doesn't excuse you uh from uh some level of responsibility especially when you look at the

01:58:53.300 you know now that it has been uh tried uh i'll tell you my real opinion on this and again take

01:59:01.180 it with a grain of salt because um you know i didn't watch everything but the stuff i saw where

01:59:07.320 you know i mean she was hate to be graphic but she had to strangle them with exercise bands

01:59:12.980 three of them one at a time she you know she um was looking at the map to see how far this you

01:59:22.380 know cvs was how far all these things were how much time she called her husband in the midst of

01:59:27.880 doing it i'm sorry it just it i it just doesn't seem like you know deep psychosis was she crazy

01:59:36.900 yeah I think you have to be crazy to kill your kids

01:59:38.920 was she

01:59:40.760 you know having depression and everything

01:59:42.780 else yeah but she

01:59:44.820 had never had voices she

01:59:46.760 had never mentioned that she heard voices

01:59:48.680 and then suddenly one night she hears voices

01:59:50.880 she does that and that's it

01:59:52.760 I just

01:59:54.360 I would have been I think I really

01:59:56.480 depending on what the rest of the material

01:59:58.960 was I think I would have been in the room

02:00:00.800 going no

02:00:01.400 I'm sorry I don't buy into it

02:00:04.780 I just don't buy into it but I don't think

02:00:06.820 they're going to go back and try her again. I think she's just going to go to a mental institution

02:00:10.700 and then it'll be up to the doctors who will have to decide, you know, themselves whether she is

02:00:16.000 capable of getting out and someday she will. And, you know, God help us. God help us. You know,

02:00:24.700 I feel the same way about John Hinckley. I'm sorry, you shot the president of the United States.

02:00:30.620 You should be in a mental institution the rest of time. If you were crazy, that's fine. You should

02:00:34.820 be in a mental institution the rest of your life and you kill three children you should be in a

02:00:40.200 mental institution the rest of your life you shouldn't you shouldn't get out you shouldn't

02:00:43.840 i don't i just don't think we can't trust you you were on all kinds of medication you talked to

02:00:48.760 everybody you fooled even your husband they he thought you were safe with the kids no i don't

02:00:55.000 think so i don't i don't give you a second shot on that what's that one i don't know i don't know

02:00:59.560 if we should ever give people a second shot on murder a violent grizzly murder like that all

02:03:12.300 minutes ago Kevin Reddington who is the defense attorney filed a stay an emergency motion to the

02:03:19.160 Supreme Court in Massachusetts saying stay the verdict what he's saying now according to quick

02:03:27.360 research here his goal is to have the highest court the Supreme Court intervene he wants the

02:03:36.960 holdout removed or the issue resolved so they can secure a formal a formal not guilty by reason of
