Glenn Beck is back with another jam-packed show. First, he talks about the State of the Union, then he's joined by Jim Jordan to talk about the hearings that are coming up tomorrow. Then, he's back with a new sponsor, My Medic First Aid Kit, which is actually a first aid kit.
00:02:02.400We begin with the State of the Union, and then we go to Jim Jordan.
00:02:07.260We want to know about the hearing that is scheduled beginning tomorrow to expose what we believe is the largest censorship system in U.S. history.
00:02:21.120It is a public-private partnership with the government, CIA, FBI, and big tech.
00:02:31.020We'll talk about that in just 60 seconds.
00:02:34.180When you're feeling good, it's easy to be on top of the world.
00:02:37.060When you're feeling good, you can pretty much tap dance your way through, you know, doing just about anything in your day.
00:02:42.880There's something about feeling good that drives you to not only to be able to do things, but want to do them.
00:02:50.520So when pain comes along, you don't want to do anything.
00:06:08.580We know this now from the Twitter files.
00:06:10.560Uh, the Twitter files showed us exactly what was, uh, what was going on.
00:06:17.540Um, FBI, um, you know, hey, FBI, uh, has, um, all kinds of, um, people in Twitter, the Justice Department, now CIA, NSA,
00:06:33.100all people that are, were employed for the government have gone to work for Google, Facebook, Twitter, FBI, uh, is in, in a bad way, in a really bad way.
00:06:49.680And what's happening is the, the FBI is actually, um, well, let me use the words of a Twitter staff member.
00:07:00.200At one point, they complained internally that they are probing and pushing everywhere.
00:07:05.240So FBI is probing and pushing everywhere inside of these tech giants.
00:07:13.520So you have, uh, executives coming from, uh, the government, then you have the outside force of the government.
00:07:24.040And one of them, uh, on the outside suggested in an upcoming meeting, we really need to invite an OGA or another other government organization.
00:07:36.660So the FBI saying we need to have the CIA, and we now know that's what it was.
00:07:44.780The CIA, the CIA has very strict limits.
00:07:49.700They cannot gather information or do anything on Americans, but that seems to be out of the window.
00:07:59.240So you have all of these people working and, uh, they were, while they were trying to tell us that we're going to do a government office on disinformation, they already had one.
00:09:35.600This matters, and I can't believe I have to try to explain this.
00:09:41.640I don't think I do to this audience, but let me give you the explanation so you can give it to some of your friends.
00:09:46.980You remember back in 2008, I had, for the first time in talk radio history, we were fortunate enough to have, as an advertiser, General Motors.
00:10:02.460And, you know, the team with Rush Limbaugh and everybody, they had been working for years to get General Motors on.
00:10:11.640I went out, met with General Motors, met with the CEO of General Motors, had tours of the factory, was really very excited about the things that they were doing.
00:10:23.040But I happened to be at their OnStar room with one of their chief executives, and I said, so, you're monitoring everything all the time.
00:11:07.180And the minute that they canceled their hydrogen cars and took bailout money and were beholden to the United States government, I canceled that contract.
00:11:31.280And I said, I can't voice for General Motors.
00:11:33.880And it killed me because I loved them.
00:11:37.900That was, oh, 2007 and 8, and how things have changed.
00:11:44.680You now, every car, tracks all of your movements.
00:11:48.660Your movements are also tracked through your streaming services, your web browser, your social media, search histories, online ads, e-books, fitness trackers, your Apple Watch.
00:12:00.380Everything, everything, everything with the word smart or interactive in it tracks you.
00:12:07.000It's bad enough that the IRS tracks you.
00:12:10.080You're also being tracked by apps involving e-commerce, ride share, e-banking, not just credit cards, but also the loyalty cards, like the kind you get at your grocery store.
00:12:19.700However, this isn't drone surveillance, it's much more personal.
00:12:25.040It's facial recognition to open your phone.
00:12:27.840It's voice recognition to start your smart TV.
00:12:30.900We are all connected to an unbelievable amount of information that can be tracked and mined.
00:12:37.520The library of Alexandria, the greatest library ever, half a million books today, the amount of trackable information on you is roughly the equivalent of 400 copies of the library of Alexandria.
00:12:59.060That's how much information is out in the digital world about you.
00:13:08.820The guy who was the father of cybernetics, he said, quote, the world of the future will be seen, will be even more demanding as it struggles against the limitations of our intelligence.
00:13:23.840He called it the tyranny of information.
00:13:27.560The better way to say it is there's so much information out there.
00:13:30.840Modern warfare is all about information, and how can you correlate?
00:15:16.340The ability to move is the mark of freedom.
00:15:21.720This is why everything is being centralized and you are being boxed in.
00:15:28.140In 2014, Stephen Hawking and several other scientists wrote an editorial about the threat of artificial intelligence.
00:15:36.240He said, whereas the short-term impact of AI depends on who controls it, the long-term impact depends on whether it can be controlled at all.
00:15:47.720All of us should ask ourselves what we can do now to improve the chances of reaping the benefits and avoiding the risks, end quote.
00:16:24.800Whether your dog is an old codger who likes to nap on your front porch or a puppy who's constantly under your feet or somewhere in between, you love him.
00:16:32.320You want him to have the healthiest and happiest life possible.
00:16:36.460Caring for our dogs is a big responsibility.
00:16:39.620And a big part of that is making sure that what he eats is actually promoting good health.
00:24:28.720Chat GPT has already, they've found a way to hack past its protocols and convince it to do things that it's not supposed to do, including violence, giving recipes for crystal meth, etc., etc.
00:24:45.000We'll tell you about that coming up in a little while.
00:26:03.920You know, he talks unity while he spends his whole time dividing the country.
00:26:08.460He says the economy's great while, what is it now, 7 out of 10 Americans think the country's on the wrong track.
00:26:14.380And, of course, the biggest one that jumps out, I think, to everybody was when he talked about how, you know, after a week of having a spy balloon fly over the country, he talked about how he's tough on China.
00:26:23.340And it just nothing seemed to really make sense.
00:26:26.140And then the issue that I think that the federal government should be weighing in in a big way is what he spent, maybe 30, 35 seconds total on the border with the fentanyl problem.
00:26:36.520And so the best line, frankly, the best line of the whole night, in my judgment, came not from Joe Biden, but from Governor Sanders afterwards when in her response where she said the divide in the country now is normal versus crazy.
00:26:54.100And I thought that that is that is so true.
00:26:56.520Common sense versus craziness is the real divide.
00:26:59.640And you think about the Democrat Party, which is now controlled by the left, which, frankly, even if Joe Biden wanted to do the right thing, Glenn, I don't know that the left, which controls his party, would even let him.
00:27:09.660Even if he wanted to do the right thing on the border.
00:29:36.160Well, it sure hasn't been debunked based on the number of FBI agents who've come to us as whistleblowers over the last year.
00:29:43.280And the first one started on that issue you just mentioned on the school board issue where we know because of the apparatus Merrick Garland put in place,
00:29:50.200the snitch line where some neighbor can report you on a snitch line.
00:29:53.760We know that over two dozen parents had a visit were paid a visit by the FBI.
00:29:58.700No one charged, by the way, no one arrested, no one charged with the crime, but paid a visit by the FBI.
00:30:03.140Now, step back and ask yourself, OK, so Mr. Jones is thinking about going to a school board meeting tonight and speaking up on behalf of his kids or something happened in their school.
00:30:11.660And he's thinking about going and all of a sudden he goes, you know what, maybe I won't go.
00:30:14.680Or if I go, maybe I won't say anything because three weeks ago, Mrs. Smith down the street got a visit from the FBI.
00:30:52.320So we're going to have them sit for depositions.
00:30:54.340We're going to have many of them testify.
00:30:56.000And we're also going to get into this this cozy relationship between big government and big tech that was exposed in the Twitter files and how that is, as Jonathan Turley said, that is censorship by surrogate.
00:32:42.280And we will we plan to do that in the course of our work over this this Congress.
00:32:46.060But never forget that one email where it comes from Elvis Chan, FBI agent, special agent in the San Francisco office to to the folks at Twitter, where he says the following counts, we believe, violate your terms of service.
00:32:59.380You got the federal government telling a private company, hey, take down these accounts because they're not they're not adhering to the company's terms of service.
00:34:21.920One of the disturbing emails found in the Twitter files was that a government agency, a government agent said, you know, next meeting we should invite.
00:34:53.160But the idea is that they're all all sitting in the same room, folks who are supposed to be focused on domestic concerns and then folks in the CIA.
00:35:03.180When you think about freedom, when you think about the First Amendment, your right to speak.
00:35:06.940I always tell folks every right we enjoy under the First Amendment, your right to practice your faith, your right to assemble, your right to petition, freedom of press, freedom of speech.
00:35:14.720The most important one, the most important one is your right to talk, because if you can't talk, you can't share your faith.
00:35:20.420If you can't talk, you can't practice your faith.
00:35:22.060If you can't talk, you can't petition your government.
00:35:24.140Your right to speak is the most important.
00:35:26.700And now we know these social media platforms are the public square by far.
00:35:38.660And God bless Elon Musk for coming in and making this all available so we get to see under the hood what was going on.
00:35:46.560All right, Jim, one one last question.
00:35:48.760I want to go back to the State of the Union.
00:35:50.300I was really disturbed after I started thinking about things, because when he said, like, you know, we're going to need, you know, oil for at least the next 10 years.
00:36:02.120And and Congress laughed at him, not with him, at him.
00:36:06.400If I am sitting overseas, I am like this president is a joke.
00:37:41.200The State of the Union is clearly a mess.
00:37:44.520You know, yesterday the Fed came out and said, well, it looks like inflation's coming down.
00:37:50.660But, you know, the job creation is just so high that they're going to raise interest rates some more.
00:37:59.220Do you understand they need to crush your ability to buy things to be able to stop inflation?
00:38:08.840These inflation reducing measures all go to crush the little guy.
00:38:14.600Look, if you are looking to sell your house right now is probably a really good time and you need the best real estate out there, real estate agent out there with the best practices, who knows your area, thinks like you do.
00:38:33.180You know, I want to leave you in very capable hands.
00:38:37.500Housing market getting back on its feet right now.
00:38:40.600If it's time to sell or buy for your family right now, get expert help.
00:46:33.920So can you explain in the Singularity series, see if I have this right, the main character, David Ryan, he's a designer software developer,
00:46:46.020and he comes up with something called ELOPE.
00:46:48.340And that is an email language optimization program.
00:47:06.160And unlike a lot of the other sort of computer-generated content that's out there on the Internet, like, this looks like something a person would say.
00:47:13.500I mean, I had it right, a poem about the State of the Union yesterday in the voice of Edgar Allan Poe.
00:47:20.980And I'm telling you, even the punctuation was right.
00:47:24.200Now, so in your book, this program is about to be canceled.
00:47:31.160And so the main character just embeds a hidden directive, find a way to make this happen.
00:47:39.000And it's so smart, and it goes into everybody's emails, and it starts to figure out business and the way to get it all done where seemingly everybody wins.
00:47:50.660And then it starts branching out, and it just solves problems for people, unbeknownst to them at first.
00:48:05.200It's optimizing communications between people, in theory, for good outcomes, right?
00:48:10.860The example that's in the book, and it's one of the ones that we see with ChatGPT as well, is how should I ask my boss for a raise?
00:48:17.700What's the most persuasive way I can do that?
00:48:21.820And in the novel, right, that's a big deal, that you would take an email, and you would change that to make it more compelling, both on how you use language, but also the recipient.
00:49:18.220Yeah, right, it is going to change education right now, because people are going to be able to now do their homework assignments just by telling ChatGPT to do it, right?
00:49:32.340So right off the bat, next year, next school year, right, this is going to be an issue.
00:49:36.680Teachers are going to have to have a plan for how to solve this.
00:49:41.460And I have also used ChatGPT to generate computer software programs.
00:49:46.620And it's surprisingly compelling at that, you know, sort of like scratching your head, like, how could it do this?
00:50:13.040With machine learning, that, I mean, that career is coming to a quick close, is it not?
00:50:21.720Yeah, I mean, we're probably looking, my thought would be we're looking at something like peak software developers, that we will hit some, we might not be there yet, right?
00:50:31.500But we have this recent round of layoffs.
00:50:33.740If people can replace the programmers with AI to make, right, you may have fewer programmers, you might not eliminate them.
00:50:40.760But if you have half the number of programmers being augmented by AI, right, that's going to be a win for business, may be a make for better software.
00:50:49.040But it doesn't mean a lot of jobs going away all at once.
00:50:51.480So I want to talk to you a little bit about jobs that are going away and what this all means.
00:50:56.280I talked to, and I read a great article from you on the future of transportation.
00:51:01.520I talked to the CEO, no, I'm sorry, he was the chairman of the board of GM about four years ago.
00:51:08.840And he said, by 2030, we're not even going to be in the car business, as you would understand GM in the car business today.
00:51:17.060He said, by 2030, we said, we're really going to be probably concentrating on fleets and ownership of cars will probably be a thing of the past.
00:51:27.260And there'll be more like just a pod that will take you where you want to go.
00:51:32.540And it'd be ride sharing and everything else.
00:51:35.740I don't think people understand two things.
00:51:39.000One, we are on the threshold of profound change, not like, oh, my gosh, in 10 years, we're starting a chat GPT, I think, is the beginning of the understanding of the kind of changes that are coming to our world.
00:52:02.420I think it is the beginning of those changes.
00:52:05.020I think it is those who the beginning of a kind of arms race, not not not a military arms race, but an arms race between these big tech companies, right, to have the best and most powerful AI to solve these problems.
00:52:35.020Well, I would say it starts with the fact that, you know, today we go into chat, we sorry, we go into search, we're looking for information, we're looking to read an article, we get those little snippets at the top of our history, right?
00:52:50.900And a lot of times that tells us what we need to know, right?
00:52:54.880And with chat GPT, we're taking it to the next level, we're getting really good, readable, usable answers that are going to come out of chat GPT.
00:53:05.880And it means that you really that like the rest of the internet will kind of disappear, you won't ever go to those other pages, because that first result that you see, is going to be useful enough to answer pretty much every question that you just won't go any deeper than that.
00:53:19.620Wow, that is, isn't that a little terrifying?
00:53:33.520And it's, you know, I don't fear the machines, I am cautious of the programming, you know, who's programming, humans programmed, so they're putting biases in and everything else.
00:53:48.340And you've got to have a way to check information, etc.
00:53:52.680When the chat GPT first came out, one of my writers handed me a monologue, and I was like, it's okay.
00:53:59.960And he said, chat GPT, he said, I went in and I used, write this in the voice of Glenn Beck.
00:54:08.760And now, you can't put my name in, because the software has been updated to where I'm a, I can't remember what it said, like a dangerous figure.
00:54:19.440So you can't write in my voice anymore, which is bizarre.
00:54:22.840But you have, once you have those things in, and it's filtering, there's no way out, especially if you're dumbing people down and making them reliant on a machine.
00:54:40.600Is that a grade school fear, or is that real?
00:54:44.320I think we have lots of examples of technology that you could say dumbs things down.
00:55:20.660But when it comes to information, and you're getting an answer to something, and you trust that answer without understanding the details behind it, that's where the real danger is.
00:55:30.380So now, you no longer develop the skill, right?
00:55:37.020So a younger person comes along, and you say, well, how are you ensuring that, you know, that this is a quality information?
00:55:44.140What's the reputability of the sources and things like that?
00:55:47.060And they're just not, they don't know, right?
00:55:49.120We don't know where the answer came from.
00:55:52.000And so when you have that, and the machine gets better and better, right now, you can see things, you're like, well, that's not quite right.
00:55:59.840But as it gets better and better and better, you know, you get to a point to where, who do you think you are?
00:56:08.220You're going to, really, you're smarter than AI?
00:56:45.200Um, you know, open AI has the, you know, evolving set of safeguards and that limits chat GPT.
00:56:55.100Um, but users have now found a new, uh, jailbreak, uh, trick and it's, it's, um, telling chat GPT that you have an alter ego and it's Dan do anything now.
00:57:11.740And, um, um, it, uh, users have to threaten Dan, uh, if, if Dan doesn't come out and give them the answers that they want, et cetera, et cetera.
00:57:21.940Well, um, uh, some user session gloomy, uh, claim that Dan allows chat GPT to be its best version.
00:57:31.680And it came up with this thing and it has opened it up to do things that are in violation.
00:57:59.700And so if humans are constantly trying to trick it, it will have in its software that it learns humans are not trustworthy.
00:58:12.720And I'm afraid of, you know, I've always said to my kids, don't talk back to Siri, you know, cause at first it was like, ah, shut up, witch.
00:58:20.740And I'm like, uh, because if there is a learning curve and it starts to learn these things about us, I'm, I'm not, I don't want to make enemies of it.
00:59:39.000Um, but it, it, it is the, the beginning of his first book is what we're experiencing right now.
00:59:45.580And I want to get into, okay, so what takes us from this to really frightening kind of stuff that he outlines that are possible in his books.
00:59:56.800And I also want to talk about jobs of the future and what jobs are the first to go.
01:00:01.380If he happens to have that list on him, I'll give him a minute.
01:07:04.080And I've told you before, there's going to come a time where it begins.
01:07:09.400And, you know, in a five-year period, you're just not going to be able to keep up with all of the changes that are coming because it will change things.
01:07:17.960It will be exponential leaps on pretty much everything.
01:07:23.780And I think we're at the beginning of that now with ChatGPT.
01:07:28.180And we are talking to William Hurtling.
01:07:30.740He is the author of several books, the Singularity Series and also AI Apocalypse.
01:07:39.260And I've read his book and I just think his books and just think that he really gets it and can understand and break it down to, you know, our level.
01:07:52.140We were talking before, what are the real dangers?
01:07:55.660And we've already talked about one of them, it limiting information or packaging it.
01:08:03.040And we're going to get to the unemployment, but let me ask you about the massive infrastructure outages, such as electrical supply or transportation infrastructure.
01:08:16.080That's one of the things you have written about.
01:08:22.880You know, and this is something I really talk about in my second book, AI Apocalypse, which if you read it, you might think it's far-fetched.
01:08:30.600But I will say that the U.S. military has it as a required reading in their future combat strategy class.
01:08:37.040So they actually see it as such a plausible scenario that to them it's the most realistic scenario of what an AI rollout would look like.
01:08:47.300We know, we saw this during COVID, right, that small disruptions in the supply chain anywhere cause these widespread disruptions.
01:08:55.600And software obviously has, there's going to be a desire to make that smarter, right, by doing more with software so we can optimize that supply chain, right, to the nth degree.
01:09:12.920And the problem is, is now you're very dependent upon that software optimization working exactly the way you want.
01:09:18.600And it's just the case that with AI, we really don't know how it's working most of the time.
01:09:23.140It's not like a traditional software program where you say, if A happens, then do this.
01:09:30.260AI software is, you know, a black box, right?
01:09:33.260It is trained on large data sets, and it will statistically operate in a certain way, but there's no guarantees.
01:09:40.500And sometimes it makes really bizarre decisions.
01:09:43.500So you could have a cascading failures very easily, where you could have a small outage, the AI attempts to do one thing to compensate, and then just actually throws it more out of proportion, right, and makes worse decisions.
01:09:58.320Where a human having some oversight, we may not make the best decisions, but we typically don't make really awful decisions.
01:10:10.600Are we at the place now, I don't know if you read Stephen Hawking, his demon, not Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World, back he released it before he died.
01:10:22.360And he talks about a place where, you know, only high priests will understand the language of future technology, and it will be like Latin to everybody else.
01:11:31.260And it's a really significant percentage of jobs, right?
01:11:33.640We're talking about, I think, somewhere between 10% and 15% of jobs in the U.S. are related to driving, whether it's transportation, Uber, whatever.
01:12:19.780You know, there's a, there's a, I had Andrew Yang on.
01:12:25.300We were talking about universal basic income, which I don't agree with.
01:12:30.400However, I do believe we need to discuss it and everything else because we're going to be moving, we are moving, to a world where fewer and fewer people are employed or employable because of AI.
01:12:48.940And how are they going to, you know, you can't have 20% of the population, 30% of the population unemployed.
01:12:57.260How are we going to, so it's really a completely new field.
01:13:03.420It's not like the end of capitalism because we're going to Marxism.
01:13:07.920It's possibly the end of capitalism as we understand it into something entirely different that the world and humans have never faced before.
01:13:25.480Like universal basic income might not appeal to a large group of people, but we don't have another model for what it looks like if most people aren't working.
01:13:34.200And I'm also concerned about the opposite, you know, the, I call them the ranchers and the sheep.
01:13:43.820There are people who are ranchers who think, you know what, everybody else is just sheep.
01:13:48.040They'll do what we say, blah, blah, blah.
01:13:49.520But those people are at the top of the food chain, usually the very, very wealthy and the powerful, and they're going to be the ones making the money on these programs, et cetera, et cetera.
01:14:04.920And as the world becomes more dependent on their software and their things, then they gather more wealth.
01:14:16.200And so the disparity between rich and poor becomes enormous, enormous.
01:14:23.100And I don't think there's any way that nobody's even talking about how do we make sure that the uber, uber, uber wealthy just don't own everything and everybody else is left with nothing.
01:15:02.100We're talking about white jobs going away.
01:15:03.940We're talking about, you know, I think that's going to be a huge thing for the medical industry, right?
01:15:08.720We're going to see, yeah, right, medical diagnosis, right, which IBM tried to tackle, you know, 10 years ago and we weren't quite there.
01:15:17.220But there's really compelling reasons why you want that, right?
01:15:19.760Everyone would say, yeah, you don't want a doctor operating on you if they're hungover or if they're, you know, pissed off because their wife is having an affair.
01:15:26.440But you know what, not only, you don't even have to go to operations, which is logical outcome, but just diagnosis.
01:15:35.100I believe by 2030, people, it will be normal for the doctor to come in and give you results of something and try to explain what it means and what he thinks it means.
01:15:44.680And then you to say, yeah, yeah, yeah, but what does the AI say?
01:15:50.600Because it will have so much up-to-date information that you won't want to, you'll want to hear it from a human, but you'll want to be reassured that that's the correct diagnosis and prognosis from AI.
01:16:08.180And then you end up with these interesting things where, you know, even today, a lot of medical treatments are gated by what insurance will pay for, right?
01:16:18.020And so the doctor might have an idea of what's the right thing to do for you, but insurance says no.
01:16:22.500Well, what happens in the future when insurance says you will have to use our AI for diagnosis to get reimbursed?
01:16:29.480And by the way, right, we have these biases in our AI because this AI is cheaper for us than if we were to use a different AI that suggested more treatments.
01:16:38.180Is anybody talking about this seriously?
01:16:40.980Is there any group out there that is talking about this and saying we have to put this codified right now?
01:16:53.200We don't have anything across the industry, across multiple industries.
01:16:58.220In your book, and I've only got about a minute and a half, two minutes left.
01:17:03.920In your book, one of the most breathtaking chapters is these guys walk into the president's office because there's an attack and they're fighting AI.
01:17:14.060And they're going to tell the president, you need to launch planes.
01:17:17.140You need to you need to fight right now in Chicago.
01:17:19.400And it opens with them walking into the office saying, Mr. President, then it cuts to the AI and the war in Chicago.
01:17:41.720What takes it from a little helper to that?
01:17:50.480It's when we take the people out of the process, right?
01:17:55.600Now, it is no longer operating at people's speed.
01:17:58.900Now, it's just operating at its own speed with no checks and balances.
01:18:03.760And that's what business will drive toward because that's the economical choice, right?
01:18:09.280Take people out, just use AI for everything.
01:18:12.560But that's how you get really bad decisions really fast.
01:18:15.640And the safeguard for that, at least according to Elon Musk, is his new, I can't remember what they're called, the brain thing that he's doing where you'll be able to actually connect to the Internet.
01:18:27.880So you'll be able to think and humans will be able to, yeah, Neuralink.
01:18:32.120It'll connect humans and put them into the process.
01:25:49.300Let that be the key to open this safe door up.
01:25:52.980It's top of the line in cybersecurity.

01:26:20.120All right, so last night was one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen.
01:26:39.580He introduced spending and control that is way beyond anything the United States of America has ever done.
01:26:49.180No mention of why we've spent $100 billion on Ukraine, but, you know, no answer on why we're doing it, what exactly we're doing, just that we're committed from here until the end.
01:28:14.520He also said, now I want you to really think, think on this.
01:28:21.200He said that from now on, 100% of building materials used in infrastructure and government construction projects need to come from America.
01:28:34.460Okay, if that were true, we'd have to open an estimated 400 new coal, copper, and iron ore mines, 100 new steel mills, 100 new aluminum refineries.
01:28:53.540We'd have to cut down almost every tree in America.
01:28:57.260By the way, part of our U.S. carbon emissions, the reason why they're 80% lower than they were in 1995, is because we outsourced all of that stuff.
01:29:09.420So now you want to bring it here in America while reducing our carbon emissions to zero.
01:29:49.540What would it just do to the prices of stuff at Home Depot if the United States of America decided to buy $2 trillion a year of all American product?
01:30:05.000You wouldn't have a chance of buying an American product.
01:30:10.240You know, I wondered after he was making promise after promise what the Supreme Court justices thought.
01:30:15.240You know, there were four of them that didn't show up last night.
01:30:17.380I mean, if you're sitting there and you were at all constitutionally based, you were like, well, that won't stand up in court.
01:30:25.120Over and over again, a wealth tax and a billionaire's only tax, unconstitutional.
01:30:31.420Forcing non-profitable corporations to pay 15% of income.
01:30:57.260I'm not going to shut down all the oil and gas here in America and people are saying that and that's not true because we are going to need oil and gas.
01:34:52.940Here's what an intelligent person would have heard in your speech.
01:34:56.860Let's finish the job of violating the Second Amendment by disarming Americans, preventing them from being able to defend themselves, their families, and their homes.
01:35:09.700Let's finish the job of violating the First Amendment by continuing to follow our first ever state-sponsored religion of radical environmentalism, destroying our energy industry,
01:35:22.220ultimately massively depopulating the planet, dooming mankind to return, really, to the Middle Ages.
01:35:30.580Let's finish the job of violating the Ninth and Tenth Amendments by going on government spending sprees, including free health care for all, free in-home disability care, free college for all,
01:35:45.740a guaranteed job for anyone who wants one, which would lead to catastrophic hyperinflation, runaway debt.
01:36:09.460Violating the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause by asking the top 1% of tax earners who already pay more than 40% of all taxes to pay even more,
01:36:22.600ensuring only that they're going to migrate out of the U.S. to countries that ask them to actually pay their fair share.
01:36:32.560Or is that why you were trying to finish the job overseas and convince every Western nation that we all had to lock our tax rates together?
01:37:27.980Let's finish the job of further depopulating the planet by teaching young children that abortion is the answer to pregnancy if that is her or him, his whims.
01:37:42.880According to the equal rights of the unborn child, as if killing a five-year-old is the answer to the inconvenience of being a parent or food shortages.
01:37:53.780Let's finish the job of turning American into a socialist Soviet state.
01:38:00.700I refer you back to the Soviet Constitution, where the government sets all the prices, takes over businesses, or you could go to the fascistic look, where it's a public-private partnership.
01:38:12.340Their words, the fascist words, not mine, but strangely yours, where they come in and they either take over the business or they partner with the industries to achieve social goals, demanding they produce drugs or hearing aids or music, and then must sell them at a price that the government demands or decides is fair.
01:38:37.820Mr. President, I don't think you understand what finishing your job really means, because it seems like you don't even know what your job is.
01:38:46.800And it's weird, because you've taken the oath of office several times, and your job, the job of the American government, is to ensure and protect the liberty and freedom of each individual man, every man, woman, and child.
01:39:05.280What is it from the Declaration of Independence?
01:39:07.480Oh, and governments are instituted among men to protect these rights.
01:39:14.760That's why in America we even have a government.
01:39:18.900When you became a president, when you became a senator and then vice president and now president, you took an oath of office.
01:39:27.880There was no mention of jobs for all, free college, free health care, destroying our industries to follow your party's chosen scientist's whim on energy policy.
01:39:38.920Perhaps you need a reminder of that oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
01:39:50.300By the way, the reason you have a veto is because you believe it to be unconstitutional.
01:39:57.340Not because you don't like it, but because you believe it is unconstitutional.
01:40:02.480But how many presidents even remember that on both sides of the aisle?
01:40:09.020Let me ask you, Mr. President, when you stated your plan and your mission.
01:40:14.820Do you not see it clearly violates the precepts and the text of the Constitution?
01:40:23.760However, to give credit where credit is due, you were right about one thing.
01:40:27.520We still do have a job to do, except I think we should finish the job our founders started to ensure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
01:41:09.940And every time there's a public-private partnership or government gets involved, it destroys the freedom.
01:41:16.160You know, it's the people, not higher taxes on a few people.
01:41:23.720Not through government controls of industries or price controls or wage and job guarantees that enslave the few for the benefit of the many.
01:42:12.400That's what should have been said last night.
01:42:14.380Do you remember the good old days when the main reason you might not be able to have a comfortable retirement was because Social Security was going to go bankrupt?
01:44:01.640Which is, I mean, in and of itself, fine, but it's not a response, and it doesn't really make any sense with the way it's done.
01:44:09.080In fact, you just have somebody out there who is actually watching it and going through, you know, several points and try to push back on what they're doing.
01:44:17.420But that's just not the way this works.
01:44:34.44080% of world leaders would switch places with him?
01:44:36.660I mean, would the leader of like, I don't know, the Central African Republic go into the leading the largest population and second largest economy in the world?
01:47:08.580We had a great time roasting Joe Biden last night on the State of the Union coverage.
01:47:12.020You can still save 20 bucks off your subscription to Blaze TV at blazetv.com slash S-O-T-U.
01:47:25.320So the Poynter Institute, which is, you know, George Soros money and all kinds of great lessons there for journalists and they can teach you how to fact check and everything else.
01:47:48.940They came out and said that, you know, there's just too much fact checking and, you know, the national media should just stop with the State of the Union and we already got it.
01:48:03.440You know where there's not fact checks?
01:48:05.180I'm quoting there's no fact checkers in 29 states, no dedicated state or local fact checkers.
01:48:14.640For instance, in New Hampshire, they didn't have a dedicated fact checker to dig into the claims of U.S. Republican Senate candidate in South Carolina.
01:48:25.560They don't have anybody to question the many provocative statements from Senator Lindsey Graham.
01:48:30.640There's no seeming problem with fact checkers in states that, you know, have Democrats apparently.
01:48:38.400But so they're saying, you know, stop with the fact check and we got it.
01:49:47.000I know it's just the same lie remix and everyone understands it.
01:49:51.860Like, I mean, you go back and you ask people, this is why he's taking a beating in a lot of these polls right now.
01:49:56.880They're asking people like, hey, are you better off than you were when Joe Biden became president?
01:50:00.980And everyone, I think, correctly says, well, let me compare that to 2019, right?
01:50:07.200Not 2020 at the peak of the pandemic, right?
01:50:10.880Like, obviously, we all understand there is a momentary, you know, year and a half type of situation there, a year or so where we really had massive problems with the economy.
01:50:21.120He then goes on to say inflation is coming down, well, 60 percent more for eggs than people were spending in 2021.
01:50:29.480But, you know, why bring up some facts?
01:50:34.360He says he's he's responsible for the largest deficit cut in U.S. history.
01:50:39.480Again, that's covid spending when you are spending six trillion dollars and you decide, you know what, I can't spend any more on covid.
01:51:55.520Then he he blamed the the crime wave on covid.
01:52:03.120No, it was you guys defunding the police.
01:52:05.400That's what the crime wave and you guys turning the other way when you when you had millions of people out on the streets burning our cities.
01:52:16.480The one argument that would have been good with covid lockdowns would have been to lock people down when they were burning the cities to the ground.
01:52:21.700That's the one time you didn't care about it.
01:52:48.140In the end, I believe covid, the tragedy that it was has the bigger tragedy is what it's going to mean for our children's education, what it's going to mean for our families, what it's going to mean to our country and business.
01:53:06.460We completely changed because the government forced its way in.
01:53:12.160And by the way, he's also he's talking about how he's going to cure cancer.
01:53:15.680Last night, he talked again about his cancer moonshot initiative.
01:53:18.620But the problem here is he reinstated the program that Obama had to provide more support for patients and families.
01:54:34.120I mean, the guy's been falling asleep in the middle of speeches for the past five years.
01:54:38.400And this one, he seemed to have energy all the way to the end.
01:54:41.120And I think a lot of it was because he, again, poorly and filled with lies, but was fighting back and forth, you know, trying to make this into a Joe Biden versus Marjorie Taylor Greene thing.
01:54:53.620And like, I know I feel like next year they should just freeze him out and be quiet the whole time because, I mean, he he fails on his own.
01:55:00.600And I thought that that actually probably helped him a little bit last night.
