The Glenn Beck Program - The Shocking Origins of the Deep State Finally Exposed ｜ Guests： Amb. Monica Crowley & Rep. Chip Roy ｜ 2⧸18⧸26

00:00:00.000 If somebody physically attacks you out of the blue right now, would you be ready?

00:00:04.580 Most people don't spend their days thinking about personal safety.

00:00:07.520 I mean, you don't like to.

00:00:08.580 Life is supposed to feel pretty normal, but normal can shift quickly.

00:00:12.280 And when it does, you don't really get a warning or, you know, the timeout to figure out your options.

00:00:17.260 That's why a lot of people are choosing to carry a Berna launcher.

00:00:20.240 It's less lethal, self-defense.

00:00:22.460 It's an option that fires powerful pepper, tear gas, and kinetic projectiles.

00:00:27.200 And it's designed to help stop a threat at a distance without using a firearm.

00:00:31.320 Legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a permit.

00:00:33.880 It's about having a tool where you hope you're never going to need it.

00:00:37.140 But if you do need it, situation goes bad.

00:00:39.440 You've got something that actually works and puts the bad guy on the ground for about 45 minutes.

00:00:44.040 Enough time for you to go away and police to arrive.

00:01:43.880 Now let's get to work.

00:01:44.820 Swipe the flame

00:02:07.240 Pass it on

00:02:09.820 Crank the game

00:02:12.320 Glenn Beck is on

00:02:14.780 Glenn Beck is on

00:02:16.780 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:02:34.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:38.220 Glenn Beck is on

00:02:39.580 Hello, America.

00:02:41.980 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:43.960 We're glad you're here.

00:02:44.580 We have so much to talk about.

00:02:46.180 We have Bob Tati and his utopia, which includes now almost a 10% tax increase on property.

00:02:54.440 People are going to love that.

00:02:56.120 AOC more on her in Munich.

00:02:58.540 Anthropic says they're not sure if Claude is conscious yet.

00:03:04.000 Oh, okay.

00:03:06.460 Stephen Colbert, CBS, made me CBS.

00:03:09.800 No, we didn't.

00:03:11.300 This is a really important piece of the news.

00:03:15.240 We're going to try to jump into that right away.

00:03:17.300 Also, the ICE shutdown, whoopee, on her being in the Epstein.

00:03:27.600 I mean, there's just so much to go over here.

00:03:30.420 It's also President's Week, but I want to start with FCC.

00:03:33.680 But before we get to that, Axios has just come out and said Trump is moving closer to a major war with Iran.

00:03:42.420 I think most people are falling asleep on this one, and I don't even know what that means.

00:03:47.260 We're going to bring Jason in on this.

00:03:49.140 He is chief researcher, and also, this is his expertise, is the world going to war.

00:03:59.080 I want to see what he thinks that means, because we have just, in the last 24 hours,

00:04:05.340 we have moved 150 U.S. military cargo flights to move weapons and ammunition to the Middle East.

00:04:13.660 In the past 24 hours, another 50 fighter jets, F-35s, F-22s, and F-16s have headed to the region.

00:04:21.660 There is a massive buildup going on.

00:04:25.240 What does it all mean, and what does it mean to you in 60 seconds?

00:04:29.900 First, Patriot Mobile.

00:04:31.760 You wouldn't sit down at your kitchen table and write a check to Planned Parenthood, right?

00:04:35.480 Drop it in the mail.

00:04:36.480 Of course you wouldn't.

00:04:37.640 Here's the uncomfortable truth.

00:04:38.940 If you're using one of the major wireless carriers, there's a good chance a portion of the money you send them every month ends up supporting causes like Planned Parenthood.

00:04:47.740 That's just one example.

00:04:49.080 Most of us don't think about our phone bill as a values decision, just as automatic routine.

00:04:54.100 It's just another payment, but it is a values decision.

00:04:57.320 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider,

00:05:00.860 and they're intentional about where their support goes, defending the First and Second Amendments,

00:05:05.900 in fact, the entire Bill of Rights, standing up for the sanctity of life, backing our military, veterans, our first responders, our cops, ICE.

00:05:13.800 You're already paying for cell service.

00:05:16.240 The question is, is your money quietly working against your beliefs?

00:05:20.760 Stand with Patriot Mobile.

00:05:22.360 Switching to Patriot Mobile isn't just about coverage.

00:05:26.000 It's about consistency and your values.

00:05:28.920 PatriotMobile.com.

00:05:29.940 They're going to make it really easy.

00:05:31.260 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:05:32.960 Or you can call 972-PATRIOT, 972-PATRIOT, use the promo code BECK, you get a free month of service.

00:05:39.360 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:05:42.960 Jason Buttrill is with us.

00:05:45.020 He is the host of, what do we call this show again that you do every day?

00:05:49.500 Torch Insider Show.

00:05:50.500 It's Torch Insider Show.

00:05:52.820 Okay.

00:05:53.860 And you do all the behind the scenes, so when we go into commercial break,

00:05:57.240 you go and give further detail on what we're talking about,

00:06:01.540 the stuff I'm just not going to have time to do on the national show.

00:06:04.320 And once in a while I pop in and we get a lot of information from you,

00:06:07.800 from the insiders every day.

00:06:10.400 And you can join that just by joining the Torch at GlennBeck.com slash Torch.

00:06:14.380 I wanted to bring you in because I've been hearing you talk every day about watch Iran, watch Iran.

00:06:21.180 You've been saying something is coming.

00:06:23.580 What looks like it may be coming.

00:06:25.420 I mean, Trump never bluffs.

00:06:28.220 He makes promises. 0.94

00:06:30.100 And he made a promise that you start killing supporters and people who are out on the street, 0.99

00:06:37.040 you're going to have hell to pay.

00:06:38.320 Then it kind of changed to, after they killed 35,000 people, it kind of changed to,

00:06:45.580 well, let's see if we can work a deal out with you.

00:06:48.040 And I believe that this is him just showing the rest of the world and especially the Middle East.

00:06:55.240 We tried everything we could and they cannot have nuclear weapons.

00:07:00.660 And we tried and tried and tried, gave it our best effort and they refused.

00:07:06.400 So now we got to go in.

00:07:08.460 But what does a major war, this is what Axios is reporting,

00:07:12.220 Trump moving closer to a major war with Iran.

00:07:15.940 What does that mean, Jason?

00:07:18.280 It means a broader regional war is what we're looking at here.

00:07:23.520 I think it'll be primarily an air war, the likes of which we haven't seen since the Gulf War.

00:07:29.800 That's what we're looking at right now because over, you mentioned over the past 24 hours,

00:07:34.580 the additions of military equipment moving into the region over the last 12 hours,

00:07:39.660 really every 12 hours or so, we're doubling what we're sending or what's arriving into the area.

00:07:45.680 So this is extremely significant.

00:07:47.240 All that military hardware.

00:07:48.660 Every 12 hours, we're doubling it?

00:07:50.260 Pretty much, pretty much.

00:07:52.560 I mean, I'm sure that will like taper off.

00:07:54.600 But I mean, every time I look at this, there's graphics, I'm looking at it and it's like,

00:07:58.480 oh my gosh, that's twice as what it was before.

00:08:00.760 It's pretty remarkable the amount of hardware that's moving.

00:08:04.480 But when you look at a broader regional war,

00:08:07.440 you're going to see a lot of conflicting information on here

00:08:09.480 because this is where the Middle Eastern geopolitics comes in.

00:08:12.640 And it's very, very dirty.

00:08:14.200 So on one hand, you've got the Saudis who do not love the Iranians.

00:08:18.140 The Saudis will be drawn into this, including every other Gulf monarchy over there.

00:08:23.200 But what they have now is this interesting, I guess, conundrum.

00:08:27.980 The conundrum looks like this.

00:08:29.900 So everyone over there agrees that the Iranians are disruptive. 1.00

00:08:33.700 They're causing problems in their own countries.

00:08:35.540 They have broad ambitions to do way, way more to dominate the entire region.

00:08:39.640 But on one hand, the status quo shows that

00:08:41.940 they don't have to compete with Iranian oil right now.

00:08:45.780 And there are significant reserves of oil and gas in Iran.

00:08:48.580 But right now, they don't have to compete with it.

00:08:50.520 They dominate it.

00:08:51.920 Iran's portion of that stockpile is sanctioned.

00:08:55.400 And not a lot of it comes out.

00:08:56.600 So what the Saudis and the rest of them are looking at right now is suddenly a scenario 0.98

00:09:01.400 that's very real, especially if this war breaks out, that now they are at a significant

00:09:07.960 disadvantage that they didn't have before.

00:09:09.800 Now they have to compete with Iran with oil prices, gas prices, everything.

00:09:13.780 So everything is about to change.

00:09:16.340 But all of our military bases that are all over the Middle East, they will be involved in this.

00:09:20.920 We need to start looking at what this looks like in terms of, you know, Iran's about to go, 0.95

00:09:26.920 if we are correct that the war is about to happen soon.

00:09:29.960 The world is about to go into, Iran is about to go into regime survival mode, 1.00

00:09:35.020 which everything that they have planned over the past, since 1979, to maintain control and power,

00:09:42.360 they are now going to put those into effect.

00:09:44.560 What does that mean?

00:09:45.280 That means the Strait of Hormuz, which the Iranians just signaled that just a couple of days ago

00:09:49.800 when the talk started.

00:09:52.000 They shut down the Strait of Hormuz briefly, or portions of it, for a live fire exercise.

00:09:57.440 Now that was a signal to, we still have that trump card.

00:10:00.340 We will shut down the Strait of Hormuz if our regime is coming under attack.

00:10:05.920 We also know that they have sleeper cells all over the world.

00:10:08.520 We know that they're in South America.

00:10:10.420 We don't know how significant of a threat that is.

00:10:12.620 We don't know if we're prepared for that, but you can better believe that the Iranians 1.00

00:10:16.160 will look at all those options once this happens.

00:10:18.820 But this will be primarily a large, massive air campaign to take out the ability for Iran 0.86

00:10:27.040 to shoot long-range missiles, to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, and to do whatever else they want.

00:10:32.140 It's going to take a while.

00:10:33.160 This is not Venezuela.

00:10:34.320 This will take a while.

00:10:35.580 So, go ahead.

00:10:37.200 Here's the thing I know about Trump, though.

00:10:39.200 No, he doesn't do long-drawn-out war.

00:10:43.000 He's against that.

00:10:45.300 So, how is he being advised on this?

00:10:48.780 Because he knows if he gets into a long-drawn-out war, it's going to be horrible for him.

00:10:55.120 Horrible.

00:10:56.380 So, what do you think his advisors are saying?

00:10:59.200 Don't worry, Mr. President.

00:11:00.240 What is Raisin Cain saying?

00:11:01.560 Don't worry, Mr. President.

00:11:03.120 We're going to do this.

00:11:05.280 So, it's not that.

00:11:06.840 I don't think that he is saying, don't worry, Mr. President, because there are way too many variables

00:11:12.980 with an attack such as this.

00:11:15.700 And a lot of options and cards the Iranians have to play will be involved here. 0.99

00:11:21.920 That's why I think there's so much hardware moving there.

00:11:24.940 They've been very surprising in how they deal with military or kinetic strikes.

00:11:29.580 They use subterfuge.

00:11:31.860 They attack when people don't expect them to attack.

00:11:34.640 They do things that are just completely unexpected.

00:11:36.980 And that's what's thrown a lot of world leaders kind of off kilter.

00:11:40.020 They don't really know what to expect.

00:11:41.300 So, they're very, very, very good at it.

00:11:42.940 So, I think anything I'm dreaming up right now or any other expert, it's probably going to be something

00:11:47.140 vastly different than what we're expecting.

00:11:49.320 Because, again, they are good.

00:11:50.900 We also don't know what their capabilities are.

00:11:52.800 I do think, Glenn, that if this is going to be a major regional war, if the stakes are as high as

00:11:59.220 potentially regime collapse and regime change, which your conversation with the Crown Prince

00:12:06.880 sounds like if this commences, the ground troops being the Iranian people will come out,

00:12:12.240 there's a very real shot that the regime does come down.

00:12:16.240 But they don't have any weapons.

00:12:18.220 They have no weapons.

00:12:19.680 So, unless you get the IRGC, the Islamic Republican Guard, to switch sides, the people are unarmed.

00:12:30.740 Yeah.

00:12:31.200 I personally think that there's a chance that because the way Iran works, and this is very important for people to understand,

00:12:36.340 the way that Iran works, it's almost like a massive surveillance state.

00:12:40.000 That's what it is.

00:12:40.820 And it's built off the back of the Revolutionary Guard Corps.

00:12:43.540 So, think of the deep state to the nth degree, surveillance state to the nth degree.

00:12:51.220 That's what they built to protect the regime, and it all runs through the Revolutionary Guard.

00:12:54.900 Well, they have historically been at odds with the regular military.

00:12:59.040 So, I do believe there's a high chance that if it gets to that point, then the weapons on the ground in support of the people could be the regular Iranian military.

00:13:08.420 That's very, very possible.

00:13:10.460 But I do think that they will come out in force.

00:13:13.860 And I think that, speaking of weapons that we don't know the capabilities of, I think that cyber warfare, if Venezuela is any kind of, I guess, clue to this or hint,

00:13:26.960 I do believe we will see cyber warfare used like never before when this kicks off.

00:13:31.140 If we demonstrate the kind of prowess that we showed in Venezuela, the world will shake.

00:13:39.180 I mean, if we somehow or another go in and we can cripple them like we did in Venezuela in ways that nobody can imagine, that makes the United States a power beyond all powers. 0.63

00:13:54.360 You know what I mean?

00:13:55.340 For sure.

00:13:55.960 Because it'll just, you know, when Bush said, it's going to be shock and awe, it was more like shock and yawn to me.

00:14:03.520 I mean, it was like, okay, well, that's what I expected America to do.

00:14:07.020 I expected that.

00:14:09.220 And I remember seeing it going, okay, well, this looks like a really intense war.

00:14:15.640 Do you think this is going to look more like Venezuela in a way that it's just stuff that we just didn't know we had the capability of doing?

00:14:26.700 Similar.

00:14:27.440 And I like how you use the shock and awe and the Gulf Wars because during the, especially the first Gulf War, the thing that we debuted then was precision guided munitions.

00:14:37.700 So Tomahawk, cruise missiles, we really showed off our precision weapons.

00:14:42.380 And that was a very similar flashpoint in global, you know, defense history.

00:14:47.000 We showed for the first time how accurate our weapons were.

00:14:50.160 The Russians had no idea that they were that, you know, accurate. 0.89

00:14:54.120 The Chinese had no idea. 1.00

00:14:55.920 If this goes to regional war status and as big as what some people are predicting, I think they'll be saying the same things after this happens is, oh my gosh, we are so far behind.

00:15:07.700 So the, the, the point of what Trump did with Israel in the Middle East was to get us out of this position to where we're always in the Middle East, that the Middle East would take care of itself because you'd have the UAE and you'd have Egypt and you'd have Saudi Arabia and everybody else.

00:15:27.440 Does that alliance hold together if, or if we're going in and destabilizing Iran?

00:15:35.220 I mean, you just said about the, the, you know, Straits of Hormuz and they also don't want all of that oil, you know, to be freed up and open.

00:15:43.900 Does that hold?

00:15:45.560 That's the, that's the question of the millennia is really right there because if you want to think back through history, we have always been searching for that answer.

00:15:55.620 And this is, it's very positive.

00:15:57.940 The Abraham Accords is very positive to getting them all to work together.

00:16:00.820 But the solution back in the day, back, you know, right after the, you know, right during the, you know, the, the, the wars between Saddam Hussein and Iran was to arm one side, also arm the other side and have them fight each other so that nobody else, they weren't considering, they weren't thinking about fighting Israel. 0.59

00:16:18.360 They weren't considering fighting us.

00:16:20.140 That was their, their, their shot then.

00:16:22.320 Now it seems the idea is, well, the only problem is Iran. 0.96

00:16:26.200 We'll fix that and then it'll fix the region.

00:16:28.320 I don't think any of the answers are correct.

00:16:30.160 But I do think the Abraham Accords are probably the biggest, you know, goal and, you know, eventual outcome to move towards. 0.98

00:16:38.380 But the biggest destabilizer in the entire Middle East right now is Iran. 0.98

00:16:42.740 Every single country is, is in some way in the Middle East are being terrorized by Iran. 1.00

00:16:49.220 And so if, I figure, I think that they're, they're thinking if they fix that, that'll free up a lot of the region.

00:16:56.060 But then it's, it's just like before, it's going to pivot to, you know, the competition between all these big, you know, these regional powers in the Middle East between, well, you know, we are the big oil guy on the block.

00:17:09.080 No, we're the big oil guy on the block.

00:17:10.860 You're going to have more sectarian issues, I'm sure, inner Sunni sectarian issues, Shia.

00:17:15.940 Yeah, there's a huge Shia population still.

00:17:18.360 A lot of them are very, very loyal to Iran.

00:17:22.760 So a whole nother ball of wax, as it usually is in the Middle East, will open up after this. 0.98

00:17:27.400 I think that if they stick to their guns on cooperation through Abraham Accords, I think that they got a shot. 1.00

00:17:32.380 I put this at a very low probability.

00:17:35.780 Do you think there's any chance we have to worry about nukes?

00:17:40.380 I've only got about 30 seconds.

00:17:42.360 I really don't think so.

00:17:43.640 I don't think that, unless something is hidden that we don't know about, but I think that one of their primary targets will be a lot of those nuclear sites, those long-range missile sites.

00:17:53.780 So they're going to knock those out probably first and foremost after the air defense.

00:17:58.280 Okay.

00:17:58.800 Thank you very much, Jason.

00:17:59.860 We'll continue to watch this.

00:18:02.040 I mean, it's been on our radar every day.

00:18:04.280 We talk about it in our meetings every single day.

00:18:06.100 I don't necessarily bring it to you because I don't, I'm figured out what exactly we're doing other than being very, very clear negotiate or it's over, but I don't know what that means.

00:18:17.620 Uh, all right.

00:18:18.280 Let me tell you about rapid radios, our sponsor.

00:18:20.660 Let's say you have a ranch.

00:18:21.800 Let's say on that ranch, you've got certain employees who occasionally managed to drive an ATV off the side of a cliff and wound up, you know, wind up stuck in a tree with the ATV upside down.

00:18:33.980 Uh, let's just say, I mean, it could happen.

00:18:37.460 In fact, it literally has happened.

00:18:38.800 Now, if that employee had a simple way to contact everybody else immediately, he would have been down from that tree a whole lot faster instead by the time we found him, uh, he was practically, you know, picking out curtains for his new tree house.

00:18:51.760 That's why we have rapid radios at my ranch.

00:18:54.420 The rad one is built for real world conditions, distant terrain movement, you know, things that, you know, don't require a bunch of fiddling with apps or settings.

00:19:04.480 You charge it, you turn it on, you're connected.

00:19:06.620 When somebody needs help, they push one button, everybody hears it and out on a ranch or construction site or wherever communication is not a luxury.

00:19:14.560 That's the difference between a quick rescue and a guy starting a second mortgage in a tree.

00:19:19.340 The new rad one is officially live.

00:19:21.760 Head on over to rapid radios.com.

00:19:23.720 Get the radio built for real life communication, real life communication, redefined only at rapid radios.com rapid radios.com.

00:19:33.740 10 seconds station ID.

00:19:36.620 You know, the one thing that we know Iran is hoping is, you know, back in 2009, there were violent uprisings.

00:20:07.420 And Obama did nothing.

00:20:08.880 And he decided to negotiate with them, you know, use this as a, you know, a way to get in and go, you're really not like this.

00:20:15.880 You're not bad guys. 0.85

00:20:16.960 We're otherwise we're going to have to come in and hit you. 0.85

00:20:19.280 And Iran knew they were not going to hit. 0.82

00:20:20.680 Um, and so they used it to buy extra time and Obama went in and he made all kinds of deals with them and they were all bad, but it was about buying time.

00:20:29.960 That's all this, that's all this, um, uh, regime has to do.

00:20:35.640 You know, remember America changes every four years.

00:20:39.260 And lately it changes dramatically.

00:20:41.260 We could be a, Hey, we love violent extremist Islamists, you know, in the middle East. 0.99

00:20:48.940 We can be that in four years, three years now.

00:20:52.380 So all you have to do is just buy time.

00:20:55.120 And that's what they're, they're hoping that, uh, this is going to be able to do.

00:21:00.220 But Trump knows that.

00:21:01.340 I mean, the one thing about Trump is he is a master negotiator.

00:21:06.580 So I, I trust the president because I think he's earned the right to be trusted on all of the things that he has done and keeps hitting it out of the park, especially with foreign, uh, adversaries.

00:21:19.940 Um, so I trust him, but I, I worry about what we are getting in, you know, trust yet verify.

00:21:28.860 Uh, I just don't know what he's doing yet, but I know he's got something up his sleeve and I know the Pentagon.

00:21:35.400 I trust, you see how many people they fired recently at the Pentagon?

00:21:38.340 Cause they were like, yeah, you guys are just about making money and playing politics and you know, we're about winning wars.

00:21:45.420 So you're gone.

00:21:46.800 Just fired thousands of people, which I, I'm all for.

00:21:50.980 I am absolutely all for is Chip Roy coming on with us in a second.

00:21:55.540 Yes, he is.

00:21:56.280 Yes, he is.

00:21:56.680 Okay.

00:21:56.860 So Chip is going to talk to us about, you know, the ice shutdown.

00:22:02.500 What is their, what is their plan?

00:22:05.400 What is their plan?

00:22:06.860 This doesn't affect ice, by the way, it just affects DHS.

00:22:10.500 So it's going to affect your airport.

00:22:12.360 What are we in day number five?

00:22:14.660 Um, and so the Democrats are now planning on shutting down for five days.

00:22:20.400 They have already shut down now DHS and really hurt them in funding.

00:22:24.160 Eventually that money is going to run out.

00:22:26.040 And so then you're going to have problems at your airport.

00:22:28.300 They're exactly like what happened last time.

00:22:30.400 And the Democrats got nothing but grief out of that.

00:22:33.300 They didn't win anything.

00:22:35.200 Um, I guess it just slowed the government down.

00:22:37.720 I think what they're doing with this is they're trying to, uh, buy time on the save act.

00:22:44.460 Uh, because if they solve this, the next thing on the Senate roster is the save act.

00:22:49.720 So let's just at least get past, uh, the, um, state of the union next week because Trump

00:22:57.820 is going to hammer them at the state of the union and lay out his agenda.

00:23:02.120 And part of that will be the save act, but very unpopular with the Democrats and all voters

00:23:10.120 in America.

00:23:10.900 And they're not doing anything about it.

00:23:12.560 It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

00:23:14.000 Chip Roy will try to make sense of that coming up in just a second.

00:23:17.620 Stand by for more.

00:23:20.700 Let me tell you about rough greens.

00:23:22.260 Your dog would probably love it if you, you know, whipped up steak and potatoes for him

00:23:26.160 every single night.

00:23:26.980 Okay.

00:23:27.280 I mean, he is your best friend.

00:23:28.760 He greets you like you've been gone for years when you step out to get the mail.

00:23:32.900 So part of it is you want to spoil him.

00:23:35.520 Let's be honest, but you're probably better than some of the dry, heavily processed kibble

00:23:40.260 that comes out of a bag.

00:23:41.220 It would be a lot better.

00:23:42.240 I mean, even if you just, even if you just gave him, you know, I don't know, horse meat,

00:23:47.820 it would probably be better.

00:23:49.500 I'm not going to grind up any horses to do that even for my best friend, but I'm going

00:23:54.840 to buy the best kibble I can.

00:23:56.480 And then I'm going to supplement that with rough greens because it's not a food.

00:24:00.400 It's a daily nutritional supplement.

00:24:01.980 You sprinkle right on top of the food.

00:24:03.880 You're already feeding him.

00:24:05.120 It's designed to help restore all the vitamins, the minerals, probiotics, all the other essential

00:24:09.580 nutrients that are lost during process.

00:24:12.020 Don't reinvent dinner.

00:24:13.380 Just enhance it.

00:24:14.740 Don't change your dog's food.

00:24:16.160 Just add rough greens, rough greens, offering a free jumpstart trial bag.

00:24:35.560 If you missed yesterday's insider segment with Glenn, you missed a powerful moment.

00:24:40.340 Torch insiders are raving about it.

00:24:42.660 Take advantage of our founding member offer now before it's too late at glennbeck.com.

00:24:46.500 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:25:03.060 Yesterday, Allie Beth Stuckey hosted the Blaze debate for the Texas Attorney General, and

00:25:09.920 Chip Roy is joining us.

00:25:11.200 Chip was there running for attorney general of the great state of Texas, and all the coverage.

00:25:17.460 I'm sorry, Chip, I didn't have a chance to see it.

00:25:19.260 I was at an event last night.

00:25:20.280 I haven't had a chance to see it, but I read about the coverage, and it looks like everybody

00:25:23.280 was kind of infighting.

00:25:24.200 And then, you know, you were trying to talk about the Muslim footprint in Texas, which

00:25:29.340 is really super important.

00:25:31.500 People don't understand in Texas how close Texas is to, A, going blue, and, B, having

00:25:41.040 a real problem with Islamists. 0.84

00:25:45.200 Welcome, Chip.

00:25:47.020 Yeah, good morning, Glenn.

00:25:48.080 Great to be on.

00:25:48.700 You know, I had a great debate last night.

00:25:50.200 A lot of great reviews.

00:25:51.560 I tried to be the, you know, adult there at the debate, making clear what we need to do

00:25:56.700 for Texas.

00:25:57.300 Think, focus on the issues, laser focused.

00:25:59.460 You know, yesterday, before the debate, I joined with my colleague, Keith Self.

00:26:03.620 You probably know Keith well.

00:26:05.060 He's a great conservative, represents the Collins County area north of Dallas.

00:26:09.540 And we were out at your studios, in one of the great rooms out there, where we were

00:26:14.280 holding a gathering, a meeting, with a lot of folks in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

00:26:18.940 who are attuned to what's happening with the advance of Sharia law and the advance of

00:26:23.740 the Islamification of Texas, and particularly Dallas-Fort Worth.

00:26:27.280 And so we had a good discussion there about the state of things, about the extent to which

00:26:32.420 there are some areas now increasingly no-go zones in Dallas-Fort Worth for women. 0.97

00:26:37.620 You know, you saw the dust-up with my friend and colleague, Randy Fine, who was, you know,

00:26:43.580 quipping a little bit, but about a little bit of this issue in New York about the dog

00:26:47.520 issue.

00:26:48.420 And now you've got Democrats calling on him to be censured.

00:26:51.200 I mean, it's absolutely absurd.

00:26:52.320 There's a cultural war going on, and I think it's really important for people to understand

00:26:57.900 that.

00:26:58.640 Again, you and I have talked about this.

00:27:00.400 You and I are strong defenders of the Constitution.

00:27:02.640 This is not about your ability to believe in the God of your choice and how you want to

00:27:06.060 carry out your life.

00:27:07.000 It's about being at war with our civilization and having a purposeful plan to undo it.

00:27:12.680 So I'm getting heat because I spoke about that yesterday, and I said, look, not all Muslims 1.00

00:27:19.480 are Islamists.

00:27:20.680 And Islamists, I would pick a dog over an Islamist every day of the week and twice on Sunday. 1.00

00:27:25.540 And so, you know, what I'm getting heat on is I didn't go far enough.

00:27:31.700 I'm very, very clear.

00:27:33.480 I don't have a problem with Muslims.

00:27:35.320 If Muslims believe the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, period, but anyone 1.00

00:27:42.760 who believes that Sharia law and the Koran usurp the United States Constitution, then

00:27:50.320 I got a problem with you, and you don't belong in here because you are warring against our

00:27:54.560 culture and the Western civilization.

00:27:58.100 But there is a big difference between those two.

00:28:00.860 So here's the way I look at it, and I think this is a really, really important conversation

00:28:06.760 that I hope you and I and all of us will be having now, like regularly, right, and to

00:28:11.440 do it intelligently, as adults, as people who believe in our Constitution, but who recognize

00:28:17.680 what's happening.

00:28:18.800 I start with, and what I want to do as Attorney General, is use the power of the Attorney General's

00:28:23.700 office over looking at corporations and nonprofits, looking at the books, following the money,

00:28:29.120 and go look at all these organizations.

00:28:31.340 And you start with places like CARE.

00:28:33.560 You look at the Muslim Brotherhood. 0.99

00:28:35.020 Obviously, Governor Abbott has declared each of those as terrorist organizations.

00:28:39.220 And we need to look at all of these organizations and see what their plan is.

00:28:43.520 What are they doing?

00:28:45.000 Because you've got groups that are saying specifically, as the Muslim Brotherhood has,

00:28:49.160 that they have a plan to Islamify America. 0.90

00:28:52.140 And then carry forward that as a goal, an omissional goal, politically, ideologically.

00:28:59.360 That's not faith.

00:29:00.980 That's not religion that the First Amendment contemplates. 0.74

00:29:03.740 That is a specific political, ideological effort to reshape and remake America and destroy

00:29:10.400 our constitutional values in Western civilization.

00:29:12.940 If we don't recognize that, then look across the Atlantic, look at Europe, and that will be

00:29:18.660 our future.

00:29:19.840 This is happening in real time, and we have to recognize it.

00:29:22.980 And we cannot flinch.

00:29:24.320 We cannot blink.

00:29:25.680 We've got to take this on squarely, because it is a war raging for the soul of Western civilization.

00:29:32.120 Okay, quickly, let me just ask you, what do you know?

00:29:36.040 What are your thoughts on, Axios broke a story earlier today, a major war.

00:29:42.580 We're a step closer to a major war with Iran. 0.95

00:29:45.880 Again, that's not Trump's M.O. to get us into a war.

00:29:49.900 What do you think is coming, Chip?

00:29:53.740 Well, I haven't been able to study that.

00:29:55.700 I saw the news.

00:29:56.740 I need to make a few phone calls today, so I'm always careful about how I speak about

00:29:59.620 things, so I at least go talk to folks.

00:30:01.080 But, comma, however, I don't believe that we ought to be looking to engage in getting

00:30:06.340 involved with war.

00:30:07.700 I supported the president and what happened with the bunker busters and dropping the bombs 0.99

00:30:11.860 and taking out their advancement of nuclear power.

00:30:14.200 Right now, I think we need to be resolved and stand with the people of Iran who are pushing 1.00

00:30:18.620 back on their tyrannical leadership and offer that kind of support in that way.

00:30:23.400 But, you know, we start engaging in war.

00:30:25.280 I've got concerns.

00:30:26.500 I need to go look at it, talk to the experts.

00:30:28.520 I don't want to talk about what the president's doing without doing that.

00:30:31.160 But, look, we need to be very, very careful.

00:30:34.900 Okay?

00:30:35.260 We've had over two decades of this engagement and conflict in the Middle East.

00:30:39.700 There's a war raging right here in America.

00:30:43.020 There's a war being waged against our way of life, and the Islamists are trying to do 1.00

00:30:47.920 it here.

00:30:48.580 So let's start here and work out.

00:30:51.080 That's why I support the president in the Western Hemisphere, knocking out cartels.

00:30:54.760 I supported the Maduro move.

00:30:56.580 I don't want them having the Soviet Union, or I'm sorry, Russia. 1.00

00:31:00.640 Freudian slip to my 80s youth.

00:31:02.720 And Russia and China and Iran over in the Western Hemisphere through Venezuela.

00:31:08.700 I think the president's done a masterful job on many fronts, not being a warmonger,

00:31:13.040 but being a strategic peace through strength president.

00:31:15.660 Stay in that lane is where I think we need to be.

00:31:18.740 And I have a feeling that's where he, because he's not a war guy.

00:31:22.140 I mean, he is a peace through strength guy, but I'm anxious to see where he's going with this.

00:31:28.080 Let me talk to you about the ICE shutdown, putting your congressional hat back on, the ICE shutdown.

00:31:34.500 We're now in day five.

00:31:36.120 I don't know what the Democrats are thinking.

00:31:38.380 This is only going to hurt them as it hits, because it's not going to stop ICE.

00:31:42.100 They are already funded.

00:31:43.360 This is only going to hurt DHS, which goes to our national security, but also go to our airports.

00:31:49.140 When that starts to hit, they're not going to be popular.

00:31:52.520 It's a rerun of what they just did, which didn't work out for them.

00:31:56.260 What are they doing?

00:31:56.860 Well, yeah, I mean, look, I think this is politics, right?

00:32:00.140 This is all about what they're trying to do with ICE.

00:32:02.440 The Save America Act is connected to the very same issue.

00:32:06.080 It's their bread and butter.

00:32:07.680 Look, remember a year ago, some of us were leaning into the big, beautiful bill,

00:32:12.220 working with the president to make sure that there was money there for both defense and for ICE and Border Patrol.

00:32:18.780 We put $150 billion in there.

00:32:20.760 A lot of conservatives kind of looked at us cockeyed and, you know, tilted their heads.

00:32:24.700 I said, guys, you've got to look ahead.

00:32:27.260 You've got to be smart.

00:32:28.460 We used that to guarantee there would be money there to stop what the Democrats are doing right now.

00:32:34.240 So there's money there for ICE and Border Patrol.

00:32:35.960 Now, what that does is it leaves TSA and the Coast Guard and FEMA dangling in the wind.

00:32:42.400 So we've just got to make sure that Americans understand, we've already sent a funding bill over there.

00:32:47.760 Democrats are blocking that funding.

00:32:49.880 So when weeks go by, if they don't do their job, they're the ones that are going to be causing travel headaches and nightmares,

00:32:55.520 not allowing FEMA to do its job in Tennessee after the ice storms, et cetera, and then the Coast Guard not to be what it needs to be.

00:33:03.340 I trust the President and Russ vote to figure out how to move money around and try to keep us safe at the Coast Guard.

00:33:08.680 But Democrats are playing politics.

00:33:10.620 And by the way, the Save America Act is a perfect example of the same story.

00:33:15.460 Democrats want to try to block that in the Senate.

00:33:18.160 I hope soon we'll use the talking filibuster, you know, which I've written extensively about, to try to break the back of it.

00:33:24.420 But these things are related, right, because soon can't put that on the floor until we figure out this funding mechanism.

00:33:30.160 Yeah, so I think that's what, I think that's what this is about.

00:33:34.140 I think this is to delay the Save America Act, quite honestly.

00:33:37.480 Correct.

00:33:38.420 Would you do me a favor?

00:33:39.680 I think they're definitely tied.

00:33:41.040 Yeah.

00:33:41.480 Do me a favor.

00:33:42.360 Talk about the talking filibuster, because a couple of conservatives came out and said, we can't change the filibuster.

00:33:47.220 We don't want to do this.

00:33:48.560 No, no, no.

00:33:48.940 You're not changing the filibuster.

00:33:50.900 You're actually restoring it to what it used to be, a talking filibuster.

00:33:56.120 This is, this is the best option out there.

00:33:59.260 You're not changing it.

00:34:01.320 You're actually restoring it and doing it the way it's supposed to be done on the books.

00:34:06.760 Correct.

00:34:08.640 Well, well, Glenn, thank you for making that so clear.

00:34:11.320 And for all the listeners out there, if you don't understand what we're talking about, I posted on X a memo, a dear colleague letter.

00:34:18.320 I wrote walking people through what's really happening.

00:34:21.380 Look, I understand the Senate, right?

00:34:23.120 I was there for seven years.

00:34:24.280 I was a lawyer on the Judiciary Committee, and I was Ted Cruz's chief of staff.

00:34:28.120 I know the rules.

00:34:29.000 I used the rules.

00:34:30.340 The rules, the Senate rules, it's built around the filibuster. 0.99

00:34:33.360 The filibuster is a great tool, right?

00:34:35.700 It's an important part of the Senate and its history and its legacy.

00:34:38.700 But we need Mr. Smith to go back to Washington.

00:34:41.560 If you don't get that joke, it's the old movie, right?

00:34:45.000 And where you had to, you know, Jimmy Stewart had to be on the floor of the Senate filibustering and talking.

00:34:51.540 What we've done is we've defaulted to this notion.

00:34:53.600 It's a fake filibuster or a zombie filibuster, as Mike Lee says, that, oh, there's a 60-vote threshold to shut off debate if a senator, you know, wants to slow walk a bill.

00:35:04.480 That's a mechanism.

00:35:05.900 That is one tool to shut off debate.

00:35:08.020 The other thing to do is make them talk.

00:35:10.160 And if they keep talking, let them keep talking.

00:35:12.640 There's a two-speech rule where you can only give two speeches on a topic.

00:35:16.160 If Republicans are disciplined, Democrats will run out of gas.

00:35:19.160 And it's a win-win.

00:35:20.880 If they successfully filibuster for two months, then they've been on the floor of the Senate telling America they want non-citizens to vote rather than protect our elections.

00:35:30.060 They oppose voter ID even though it's an 85% issue.

00:35:33.000 Or we break their back and we get good policy.

00:35:36.460 That's a win-win.

00:35:37.660 We're not changing the rules.

00:35:39.640 That's not what we're saying.

00:35:41.400 We're saying use the rules.

00:35:43.520 Use the Senate.

00:35:44.640 Do your job.

00:35:45.780 Speak.

00:35:46.540 Stop playing fake games and trying to tell the American people that failure theater, putting the bill on the floor, the 60-vote threshold, is doing your job.

00:35:55.040 It's not.

00:35:56.480 Do you really think it would take two months?

00:35:58.060 No, I actually think we'd probably break their back faster than that, right?

00:36:03.060 I mean, how 47 Democrats, and I think Fetterman is kind of leaning in our direction, how many of them are going to speak for more than two hours or three hours or four hours?

00:36:12.080 Right.

00:36:12.420 Most of them are over, like, 97.

00:36:14.660 Like, half of them, like, it's a nursing home.

00:36:19.080 Like, look, you're going to have to wheel them over from the nursing home, tell them to put their Jell-O down, tell them to go down to the floor of the Senate and stand up. 0.92

00:36:24.920 Because, by the way, you have to stand.

00:36:27.020 And you've got to keep standing and keep talking.

00:36:30.100 Now, Cory Booker will go do a show.

00:36:32.320 You know, five, six, seven, eight of them will go do a big show.

00:36:35.360 They'll talk a lot.

00:36:36.340 They'll say we're going to be taking the vote away from women, that it's Jim Crow 2.0. 1.00

00:36:40.640 Let them do that.

00:36:42.380 We stand strong.

00:36:43.740 We present the facts.

00:36:45.100 By the way, our bill specifically allows any person who goes to register to vote under the Save America Act, if you have a conflict in your ID, if you show up as Sarah Smith on your driver's license, Sarah Jones on your birth certificate, you can sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury.

00:37:03.000 I'm the same person.

00:37:05.020 That's it.

00:37:05.560 We allow for that with any state's registrar.

00:37:08.760 We allow states to create the systems however they want.

00:37:11.500 That is a respectful way to make sure that we have a system that is trying to guarantee only citizens vote.

00:37:17.180 There's nothing controversial about it.

00:37:19.520 Democrats want non-citizens to vote.

00:37:23.420 Chip, thank you very much.

00:37:24.760 I appreciate it.

00:37:25.540 Good luck with your race. 0.67

00:37:43.480 Let me talk to you a little bit about Rush Tax Resolution.

00:37:47.280 You know, it starts with a white envelope, no return address, just three letters, you know, in the corner that, you know, make your stomach drop.

00:37:54.800 I-R-S. 0.99

00:37:55.880 You open it.

00:37:56.760 Your eyes skim the page.

00:37:58.000 And suddenly your brain is doing, you know, that thing where it's reading words, but it doesn't process them because your heart's beating too loud in your ears to actually hear through your eyes.

00:38:07.620 For small business owners, especially, uh, small business owners, taxes aren't, aren't simple.

00:38:14.440 You enter one line wrong and suddenly, uh, you know, a small oversight turns into a very expensive lesson.

00:38:21.340 This is why tax, a rush tax exists.

00:38:23.860 They understand the complexity, the challenging regulation, the details that most of us don't live and breathe every single day, and they'll help you structure things correctly on the front end.

00:38:33.860 So you're not panicked on the back end.

00:38:36.040 If you mention my name, Rush will provide a free IRS transcript investigation.

00:38:40.960 That's a service other firms typically charge about 500 bucks for, even without confirming that they can help you.

00:38:46.820 Rush offers this upfront and free, and they will only take their case, your case, if they know they can help you.

00:39:43.960 You know, Linda Davis, she was a schoolteacher, and she was killed by an illegal who was trying to get away from ICE.

00:39:55.400 And it's amazing to me because somehow or another, ICE is the bad guy here.

00:40:01.320 I mean, before, when illegals were killing people in car accidents, they didn't even want to mention it. 0.97

00:40:08.980 They wouldn't mention it at all.

00:40:10.320 It's like, what?

00:40:10.860 Well, a car accident, they happen every day.

00:40:12.360 I don't even know what you're talking about.

00:40:13.840 Now they're standing on this because somehow or another, ICE is the one responsible.

00:40:19.040 So they know the truth because they were hiding the truth all of the other times.

00:40:24.460 They've just found a narrative now that they think works.

00:40:27.440 And so now they're going to cover the stories.

00:40:29.740 I mean, it is so transparent.

00:40:30.980 If you, you know, if you just pay attention to the way news is, uh, is structured and built, you, you understand the game that they are playing.

00:40:42.300 It's so easy to see.

00:40:44.620 It just, it's so frustrating how, how many people just, you know, don't understand that and don't want to look at what is actually, uh, happening.

00:40:52.960 Uh, so the ICE shutdown continues as we talked to Chip, but, uh, I don't know if you know that.

00:40:58.880 Did you see the, um, you see in the immigration, uh, officer or whatever it is in New York city, who that is.

00:41:07.040 Um, mom, Donnie has just somebody who's with the Muslim brotherhood and everything else.

00:41:12.100 Really, really not, not good, but mom, Donnie is going to make it better for everybody because when he's not leaving the homeless people out in the cold to die, you know, with that warmth of socialism, um, he is, uh, he's just going to raise everybody's property tax by nine and a half percent.

00:41:29.300 Can you imagine that?

00:41:31.880 Imagine he did free buses, free healthcare, free, free, free, free, free, free, free.

00:41:36.620 Oh, by the way, 9.5% tax on your property now.

00:41:41.380 Oh, oh wait.

00:41:42.620 So there's not really free far as I'm concerned.

00:41:46.320 I'm cool with that because the price of my house in Florida.

00:41:49.200 And if you're living in Texas just went up again, the more he does, the more people will vacate.

00:41:55.980 And quite honestly, I'm thinking about a border wall on the Northern border of Florida and the Northern, the North Eastern border of Texas.

00:42:06.260 Well, no, and Western border of Texas as well.

00:42:10.180 Border all around Texas.

00:44:24.620 Hello, America.

00:44:25.720 I want to talk to you about the deep state.

00:44:28.260 I want to talk to you about this new information coming out from Nixon.

00:44:31.400 I've waited to talk about it because I wanted to talk to Monica Crowley.

00:44:35.440 She actually worked with Nixon, and I did the math.

00:44:38.860 She was six when Nixon left office, so she was quite an amazing child.

00:44:44.320 But she worked with Nixon, obviously, after the administration. 0.89

00:44:48.660 And I really want to know, because she tweeted out,

00:44:52.100 you can't understand the deep state targeting of President Trump

00:44:55.240 without understanding the deep state targeting of President Nixon.

00:44:58.380 This is really important if you care about American history.

00:45:04.000 And speaking of that, she is also part of America 250,

00:45:08.020 the celebration for our 250th anniversary.

00:45:10.720 And we're going to talk about that as well with her.

00:45:13.600 Ambassador Crowley joins us in 60 seconds.

00:45:15.940 First, ever watch an episode of The Walking Dead and think,

00:45:18.760 honestly, half these people just need a nap, really.

00:45:22.520 I mean, look at them.

00:45:23.180 Bloodshot eyes, bad decisions, short tempers.

00:45:25.380 I mean, I feel like that, stumbling around like they haven't had a full night, you know, sleep, you know.

00:45:30.260 And you're like, yeah, that's the way I feel every afternoon at 3 o'clock.

00:45:34.500 If you're walking through life exhausted, everything gets harder.

00:45:38.140 Your patience gets shorter.

00:45:39.340 Your focus gets worse.

00:45:40.760 Even small problems start feeling like, you know, apocalyptic events.

00:45:44.500 That's why I want to talk to you about Z-Factor.

00:46:17.160 Monica, welcome to the program. 0.99

00:46:20.060 Glenn, it's so great to be with you.

00:46:22.460 Thank you so much for having me.

00:46:24.960 You bet.

00:46:25.720 So I want to go right to the deal with Nixon.

00:46:29.200 You worked with Nixon when?

00:46:32.980 When?

00:46:33.400 How old were you when you worked with Nixon?

00:46:35.880 Yes.

00:46:36.360 Thank you for giving me the opportunity to set the record straight, Glenn,

00:46:39.940 because I don't want anybody to think I'm 125 years old.

00:46:43.640 Right.

00:46:44.440 No.

00:46:44.640 I was not actually born when President Nixon was elected president, but I did work with him during the last four years of his life.

00:46:54.720 So the early to mid-1990s, up until he passed away in 1994.

00:47:00.500 What an amazing thing that had to have been.

00:47:02.900 Did you ever talk to him about the deep state and some of this stuff?

00:47:05.880 I did, actually.

00:47:08.260 And what's so gratifying for me, Glenn, on a personal level is I really adored President Nixon.

00:47:15.180 You know, I came to know him as my boss, of course, for four years, my first job out of college.

00:47:21.340 But also he served as a grandfather to me.

00:47:24.740 He was a mentor, and he was a very, very dear friend of mine when I was very young, and he was at the end of his life.

00:47:31.920 So I promised him before he passed away that I would take care of his legacy.

00:47:38.560 I said, Mr. President, I pledge to you that I will spend the rest of my life advancing and protecting and defending your legacy.

00:47:46.900 And Glenn, I'll never forget, he looked at me, and he kind of smiled in a wry kind of way.

00:47:52.500 And he said, Monica, I appreciate that, but you're going to have much more important things to do in your life and career.

00:47:59.000 And now, of course, here I am working for President Trump.

00:48:02.180 But I pledged it to him.

00:48:04.080 And Glenn, I have literally spent the last 30 years since he did pass away doing exactly that.

00:48:09.480 So now to see these new documents coming out, these new revelations about the truth, about what happened to Richard Nixon and how Watergate was a deep state frame up of him, is personally very gratifying.

00:48:24.780 I will say that when I worked for him in the early 90s, Glenn, to your question, we did speak about it, but nobody really knew what the deep state was.

00:48:33.580 Now, remember that Richard Nixon served as Dwight Eisenhower's vice president.

00:48:40.340 Eisenhower's farewell address famously warned about the rise of an unaccountable deep state, what he called the military-industrial complex, what we now know as the deep state.

00:48:53.820 Nixon internalized that lesson because he saw Eisenhower, a military man who helped to win World War II and free the West from Nazi oppression.

00:49:06.600 He saw what Eisenhower was going through and the rise of the security state that was unaccountable to anyone.

00:49:14.760 So after World War II, the creation of the CIA, the creation of the NSA, the creation of the DIA, the corruption of the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, Nixon saw all of this.

00:49:28.580 So when he became president, and this is actually what gave the deep state the context to do what they did, Nixon understood the threat within, but also understood he couldn't bring it to the American people in the late 60s, early 70s.

00:49:43.540 They would go, what are you even talking about?

00:49:45.800 It took the next 50 years for people to wake up.

00:49:49.340 Go ahead.

00:49:49.760 He also, I mean, what I saw in the documents, he also was very, he did not want to drag the military through the mud.

00:49:59.500 He'd just gone through Vietnam and he's like, I don't want to do more damage to the military because the military is important and it's good.

00:50:06.060 So he also was trying to protect the good parts of the military, at least it seems to be that way.

00:50:12.160 For anybody who doesn't know, give us what the documents revealed that maybe the public didn't know before.

00:50:18.960 Yes.

00:50:19.800 So when Nixon becomes president, he understands what Eisenhower was warning about.

00:50:25.360 So he decides that he is going to consolidate all foreign policy and national security decision making in the hands of two people, he and his national security advisor at the time, Henry Kissinger, who we later learned was a deep state operative.

00:50:43.760 OK, so Nixon is getting inputs from one man who he really trusted, who perhaps he should not have.

00:50:51.680 All right.

00:50:52.240 That creates the environment where he is excluding the military, his own State Department, his own Secretary of State.

00:51:01.780 They're all the CIA.

00:51:03.400 They're all going crazy, Glenn, because he is keeping all of the secrets to himself.

00:51:10.200 The opening to China, detente with the Soviet Union, shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East, all of these huge, peaceful foreign policy initiatives he and Kissinger are keeping close to the vest.

00:51:23.380 That then gives rise to this military spy ring that pops up in the White House to spy on Nixon and Kissinger, rifling through their papers when they go home.

00:51:37.640 You know, when Nixon goes upstairs to go to bed, they come in in the middle of the night in the White House, in the Oval Office, in Kissinger's office, in the White House.

00:51:45.960 They're rifling through their papers.

00:51:48.340 They're examining their telephones, everything possible to spy on Nixon.

00:51:54.080 Does that sound familiar?

00:51:56.640 How they spied on President Trump.

00:51:59.720 Yes, because they were all freaking out.

00:52:02.100 The deep state flipped out that they were being excluded.

00:52:04.940 They had no idea what the president was planning, the discussions he was having.

00:52:09.660 And so ultimately, Glenn, when you and this is what these new papers show.

00:52:13.920 The more Admiral Moore, General Radfield at the time, created this military spy ring to spy on Nixon.

00:52:22.540 And you know who was a key member of it was one Bob Woodward, who was a naval intelligence officer, who was read in on this military spy ring.

00:52:35.440 And then, through the CIA's mockingbird media program, was planted as a, quote, journalist at the Washington Post, being fed all of the deep state fans to throw it on the front page of the Washington Post to bring down a president.

00:52:52.340 Wow, I had not heard that.

00:52:56.080 That is shocking.

00:52:58.180 Shocking.

00:52:59.920 Yeah.

00:53:00.200 Okay.

00:53:01.180 So Nixon, when he left, the deep state had to consider this a huge victory for them.

00:53:11.040 Did that just embolden them and just keep growing and growing and growing until we get to Trump?

00:53:16.080 And if that's true, Trump didn't know how to fight it last time.

00:53:22.240 He seems to be fighting it really well this time.

00:53:25.960 What's the difference?

00:53:27.020 How is he doing this?

00:53:29.020 Yes.

00:53:29.320 Great question.

00:53:30.600 Let me just go back to Watergate for one second, Glenn, because this is a really critical point.

00:53:34.640 The five Watergate burglars were apprehended at the DNC site at the Watergate complex, five of them, and they were indicted along with two others, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy.

00:53:46.980 Of those seven, six were linked to the CIA, and the other one was linked to the FBI.

00:53:53.660 So to your bigger point about Nixon's selflessness, which is what these current documents show, Nixon decided not to fight it in the moment because we were still in the Cold War, and he wanted to preserve the integrity and the public's honor of the United States military.

00:54:13.160 So he did not blow the whistle at the time.

00:54:16.000 He fell on a sword for the second time in American history because the first time was the 1960 election, which was stolen by the Kennedys and by Lyndon Johnson.

00:54:28.200 It was also a deep state operative.

00:54:30.120 It was stolen in 1960.

00:54:32.660 He was presented with concrete evidence on election night, and he said, I am not going to challenge this result because the American people deserve a full-time president who is not under a cloud.

00:54:44.060 Nixon gets no credit for putting the country first, not once, but twice.

00:54:48.900 You talk about what Trump has learned.

00:54:51.960 We talk about Nixon, but it actually, the deep state goes back even further to your favorite president, Woodrow Wilson.

00:54:58.320 Go ahead.

00:54:59.260 Of course.

00:55:00.120 And the rise of progressivism here in the U.S. and the West.

00:55:05.720 But remember, Woodrow Wilson comes in at the exact same time that you have Vladimir Lenin getting off the train at Finland Station and launching the Russian Revolution.

00:55:16.880 You know this better than anyone.

00:55:18.220 Those two tracks to destroy and crush the West gave rise to a globalist, transnational deep state.

00:55:25.580 Donald Trump in the first term did not know what he did not know.

00:55:31.080 He had never done any of this before, but he knew that he was targeted.

00:55:34.720 This time around, and you know, God owes his plan.

00:55:37.800 So God sent, just as God sent Richard Nixon into the wilderness from 1960 to 1968, when he ran and won again, he sent Donald Trump into the wilderness for four years during the Biden years.

00:55:51.320 Again, catastrophic for the country, but God had more work to do in both men.

00:55:56.640 And when Donald Trump comes back this time around, he's so much wiser about how Washington works.

00:56:04.120 The deep state here works, but also the globalist deep state.

00:56:08.680 And Glenn, when I tell you, because I was in the Oval Office with him yesterday, this man is dismantling our deep state and the globalist deep state brick by brick.

00:56:19.520 And he's doing it by pulling the funding, pulling their money.

00:56:24.260 We know that they launder money in a couple of different ways.

00:56:27.320 Human trafficking.

00:56:28.420 Trump is putting a stop to that.

00:56:29.840 The drug trade, he's putting a stop to that, dealing the border in every direction.

00:56:36.240 He should look into the art world.

00:56:38.020 He should look into the art world.

00:56:39.860 Just saying, but go ahead.

00:56:41.180 Good, good point.

00:56:42.240 No, thank you.

00:56:43.140 Peace by peace.

00:56:44.160 I can talk to you about that sometime off the air if you'd like.

00:56:46.780 But anyway, go ahead.

00:56:47.560 I would love it.

00:56:48.440 I would love it.

00:56:49.300 No, he's really, he's cutting off their sources of funding, which are all illicit and very dark.

00:56:55.220 Human trafficking, child trafficking, and the drug trade.

00:56:58.480 This is, and another reason why he got Maduro alive is because the drug trafficking trade through our entire hemisphere has funded a lot of these deep state activities.

00:57:12.760 Trump is doing it piece by piece.

00:57:15.500 And he is working with like-minded leaders, like-minded countries.

00:57:20.420 This is why, Glenn, you know, tomorrow, my team and I are actually helping to run the first Board of Peace inaugural meeting.

00:57:29.800 And I think we've got about 45 heads of state and others, foreign ministers, maybe more, maybe 60.

00:57:36.560 It's up to now coming in tomorrow for the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace.

00:57:40.260 I love this.

00:57:41.000 Donald Trump is building parallel organizations to the corrupt deep state globalist ones like the UN, like the World Health Organization.

00:57:52.840 In a couple of weeks, we're going to do a Western Hemisphere summit.

00:57:55.920 So what he's doing is building a parallel superstructure of like-minded people who are with him on destroying and smashing the entire corrupt globalist status quo that has actually run the world over the last 70 plus years.

00:58:11.760 Monica, I have to tell you, he said to me, you know, I hope to be considered like a founder.

00:58:17.680 And he said, you know, my goal is, you know, George Washington was so great.

00:58:22.280 And I'd like to be remembered, you know, in a category like that.

00:58:26.180 And I thought, wow, that's pretty ambitious.

00:58:29.140 I've been watching him, what he's doing to the rest of the world, how he's dismantling this.

00:58:33.120 I think he will be, he won't be remembered like Washington, but he is a refounder. 0.98

00:58:38.640 He is in a unique category that I would only put a couple of presidents in.

00:58:44.640 What he's done is remarkable.

00:58:46.720 And the American people just don't understand it yet.

00:58:49.000 I know you have to run.

00:58:50.520 Can we touch base on America 250 just quickly?

00:58:54.320 Sure.

00:58:54.920 Yes.

00:58:55.260 Thank you.

00:58:55.800 And yes, I agree with you.

00:58:57.000 If you look at the big three, Washington founded the nation, Lincoln saved the republic, and

00:59:04.260 Donald Trump is restoring the republic.

00:59:07.120 That's how I look at it, Glenn, the big three.

00:59:10.480 So in terms of America 250, very exciting as we're getting closer to July 4th, we have

00:59:16.340 founded an organization that is nonpartisan, a public-private partnership called Freedom

00:59:22.520 250.

00:59:23.040 And I know you and your team are working in partnership for your big May 2nd event on Ellis

00:59:28.280 Island.

00:59:29.140 Incredible.

00:59:30.220 I want everybody to attend that.

00:59:32.220 It's going to be amazing.

00:59:33.740 Highlighting legal immigration that helped to build this country.

00:59:38.680 Legal immigration.

00:59:40.600 Yes.

00:59:41.040 Yes, of course.

00:59:42.020 So freedom250.org is the website.

00:59:46.120 Please go check it out.

00:59:47.120 We are planning the Great American State Fair on the National Mall with all 50 states represented.

00:59:53.380 We are organizing a national prayer event to return the nation as one nation under God,

01:00:00.080 Glenn.

01:00:00.340 And that will be on the National Mall on May 17th.

01:00:03.620 So everybody mark their calendars for that.

01:00:06.380 We've got the big UFC 250 fight on the president's birthday on the South Lawn.

01:00:11.280 That will take place June 14th.

01:00:13.620 We've got your event on May 2nd, of course, and it's going to all culminate on July 4th

01:00:19.520 with a national, international naval review in the New York Harbor and the Hudson River.

01:00:27.700 We've got about 50 countries sending tall ships as well as modern naval ships, which is going

01:00:33.820 to be incredible.

01:00:35.180 And then there'll be a huge salute to the nation led by the president, including an address to

01:00:39.700 the nation and the biggest fireworks display in the history of the world.

01:00:43.660 After July 4th, by the way, party doesn't end.

01:00:46.740 We've got the FIFA World Cup final two weeks later in New York with a big Freedom 250 theme.

01:00:53.080 And then in August, the president just announced an IndyCar Grand Prix race for the first time

01:01:00.040 in Washington, D.C.

01:01:01.700 So Independence Avenue, Constitution Avenue, and so many other streets in D.C.

01:01:10.020 will be turned into an IndyCar 500 race with the president in attendance and about 100,000

01:01:16.820 spectators.

01:01:17.700 So we want everybody coming out for that.

01:01:20.220 This is going to be a truly national and global celebration.

01:01:24.260 I have every world leader approaching me, Glenn, including some of our tough adversaries who

01:01:31.160 want to help America celebrate.

01:01:33.340 So we are going to have every country on the face of the earth who's willing to do it is

01:01:38.500 going to help us celebrate that entire week leading up to July 4th.

01:01:42.380 Extraordinary.

01:01:43.200 Monica, you are an amazing, amazing person.

01:01:46.120 And I just love having you as the ambassador of protocol because I know what that means.

01:01:50.860 And you are perfect for the job.

01:01:52.320 So thank you for everything you're doing.

01:01:54.220 My best to you and everybody in the administration.

01:01:56.760 God bless you.

01:01:57.860 That's so kind.

01:01:58.880 Thank you always for having me, big friend.

01:02:01.560 You got it.

01:02:02.380 You bet.

01:02:03.120 Let me talk to you a little bit about Relief Factor.

01:02:05.740 You know, so I'm a doctor, okay?

01:02:07.360 So I can tell you doctor-y stuff.

01:02:11.780 And you can take that to the bank.

01:02:13.300 I mean, you shouldn't take it to the bank, but you can take it to the bank if they cash

01:02:15.940 it or not.

01:02:16.360 It's up to them.

01:02:17.000 But before anybody calls the medical board, let's be clear.

01:02:19.720 I'm a doctor of humanities, which means I can pretty much cure anything that's happening

01:02:25.160 in a human being, I believe.

01:02:26.840 I'm pretty sure that's what it meant.

01:02:28.580 If you actually want something developed by real medical white coat-wearing doctors, let

01:02:33.260 me tell you about Relief Factor.

01:02:34.780 Relief Factor was created by physicians who understand inflammation a little bit better

01:02:38.840 than me, but that's not my area of expertise.

01:02:41.300 How it affects the body over time.

01:02:43.140 It's designed to support your body's natural response to inflammation so you can move more

01:02:47.700 comfortably and stay active without, you know, masking pain for just a few hours, okay?

01:02:52.560 Over a million people have tried Relief Factor.

01:02:54.620 I am one of them, and I'm part of the two-thirds that have gone over, gone to take it month

01:02:58.880 after month after month because it's different.

01:03:00.980 So yeah, I'm a doctor.

01:03:02.980 And when it comes to getting out of pain, I'd rather point you to the doctors that actually

01:03:06.580 went to medical school.

01:03:07.520 But, you know, if it means something to you, there's your doctor telling you, try Relief

01:03:12.560 Factor.

01:03:12.980 See what it can do for you.

01:03:14.680 Call 800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF, or relieffactor.com.

01:03:20.080 How will it feel to be out of pain?

01:03:56.200 broadcast that happens during this when I go into break.

01:04:01.060 Did you get everything you wanted and more from Monica?

01:04:03.640 Because you've been pushing for this interview for a while.

01:04:06.200 Oh my gosh.

01:04:07.540 Glenn, every day, Monica needs a segment. 1.00

01:04:10.560 That was amazing.

01:04:12.320 I know.

01:04:13.220 I know.

01:04:13.860 Oh my gosh.

01:04:14.520 She's incredible.

01:04:16.200 Incredible.

01:04:17.100 Yeah.

01:04:17.860 Did you, had you heard the Bob Woodward thing?

01:04:20.720 I had not heard that.

01:04:21.520 Some people in the chat had heard that.

01:04:22.920 I had never heard that.

01:04:24.900 I, you know, I had, I had heard that, but not with authority.

01:04:27.880 You know what I mean?

01:04:28.600 I had heard, yeah, well, he's, you know, he's a CIA kind of guy, but not with authority.

01:04:33.040 Now that, now, I mean, look at how this is going to change history.

01:04:37.360 You know, if the right people win and we can actually write true history, this is just,

01:04:45.060 I mean, the deep state with JFK, then Nixon, now Trump, it's got to stop it.

01:04:53.380 He's the guy to stop it.

01:05:30.340 speak fluently.

01:05:31.080 I know I don't.

01:05:32.140 The last thing you need when you're trying to get clarity is somebody sliding a sales pitch

01:05:35.640 across the table.

01:05:36.280 You only understand half of it.

01:05:38.600 This is why I have trusted American Financing for, gosh, wow, we're coming up on two decades.

01:05:44.640 Their loan consultants are salaried, which means they are not paid more because they sold

01:05:50.460 you a particular product.

01:06:35.900 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:06:43.980 So I just, I just had a talking to, um, from, uh, my, uh, chief of content, uh, Ricky, uh,

01:06:55.100 who is sitting here now and just giving me a talking to every day about, do you know what

01:06:59.620 you're doing to us?

01:07:00.540 And I, uh, yeah, I'm, I'm, we were just talking about the Freedom 250 event that Monica Crowley

01:07:06.360 was talking about.

01:07:07.160 And she said, you know, it's going to be incredible at the Statue of Liberty.

01:07:09.920 And then we get off the air and Ricky said, uh, yeah, yeah.

01:07:16.520 Uh, you have no idea what this is like to pull off.

01:07:20.220 Yeah.

01:07:20.580 I said, this is actually going to be more difficult than your event on the national mall.

01:07:25.880 Of course it's on an Island.

01:07:27.780 It's on an Island.

01:07:28.660 And there's like all of these rules and regulations where somehow getting past some of them.

01:07:34.680 Thank goodness to Tina Decovich from Moms for Liberty.

01:07:38.000 Yes.

01:07:38.120 Right.

01:07:38.780 But, uh, our, one of our partners, um, which who we tacked on our idea.

01:07:44.080 So Glenn downloads his vision to her and me.

01:07:46.540 We're both like executors.

01:07:48.100 We're not really visionaries, but we execute visions and we're listening to Glenn give like,

01:07:52.760 I'm not going to even tell you how big this vision is for May 2nd.

01:07:56.280 And our faces are just melting.

01:07:58.240 And if you're only listening, you can't tell, like you can't see the stress on my face,

01:08:02.580 but if you're watching at glennbeck.com slash torch, like I'm tweaking right now.

01:08:06.220 Well, but I mean, Tina and you both got to the end of it and went, wow, that would be incredible.

01:08:12.480 His ideas are incredible.

01:08:14.040 And if we can pull off a third of it, you guys are going to be blown away.

01:08:18.640 What do you mean?

01:08:19.140 If, if I guess if I don't pull off a third of it, I'm fired, but it is going to be fine.

01:08:24.680 It is going to be fine.

01:08:25.380 And it has to be pulled off, not to say the president is going to be there.

01:08:28.860 Cause I can't say the president is going to be there.

01:08:30.520 Cause I don't have any indication that the president is going to be there, but we are

01:08:33.680 doing a surprise for president Trump.

01:08:35.220 That is really, really cool.

01:08:38.240 And we have another thing that is coming, uh, and I'm not sure if we're going to be able

01:08:42.940 to announce it in advance.

01:08:44.600 I mean, it's secret service is going to be there.

01:08:46.820 It's a lot of, a lot of details, but there's something else that is going to happen.

01:08:50.480 That is really, and all of those are happening, right?

01:08:52.760 Those are not a problem.

01:08:53.580 Those things are, I'm terrified.

01:08:55.760 I haven't heard this part.

01:08:57.020 Yes, you have, you know, exactly what it is.

01:08:59.980 You haven't heard.

01:09:01.180 I was reading about it and because, you know, I want the statue of Liberty to be a backdrop

01:09:05.800 of this one part.

01:09:07.980 Right.

01:09:08.760 Yes.

01:09:09.220 And I was reading that it's too dark.

01:09:12.620 The statue of Liberty at night from that angle is too dark.

01:09:15.820 And so I'd like to price out what it would take to get a couple of barges with spotlights

01:09:23.700 to hit the, it's been done before.

01:09:25.360 Okay, guys, it has been done before.

01:09:26.860 This is why you have to subscribe to Torch because Glenn has great ideas, but they cost

01:09:31.840 so much money.

01:09:32.840 We need you.

01:09:33.780 GlennPack.com slash Torch, please.

01:09:35.660 We don't, I mean, we don't have to do that, but it would make it look, I mean, you'd see

01:09:40.140 it.

01:09:41.580 George Bush did a speech there.

01:09:43.300 I don't remember, you know, 25, 30 years ago and he was doing a speech and they came

01:09:48.360 up with the same problem.

01:09:49.220 He wanted that in the background and they were like, it's too dark.

01:09:51.820 And so he said, get some lights on and some barges.

01:09:54.140 And so I just want to throw that out there.

01:09:56.880 I just want to throw that.

01:09:57.600 They're not necessary, but I'll add it to the list.

01:10:01.960 It's going to be epic.

01:10:03.020 It is going to be epic.

01:10:05.360 So join us on that.

01:10:06.900 By the way, one of the things that, you know, we try to do and is my mission is to be able

01:10:12.580 to tell history in a way that excites you and your family about history again.

01:10:18.300 And, you know, it is, uh, it's president's day week.

01:10:23.120 Um, and, uh, you know, I just did something with, uh, with, um, Dave Rubin, uh, on his

01:10:30.840 show about Abraham Lincoln.

01:10:32.520 And we talked about Aaron Lincoln and I told him some stories that he hadn't necessarily

01:10:36.580 heard before, but I want to tell you a great story about Abraham Lincoln that maybe you

01:10:42.180 don't know.

01:10:42.600 I mean, it was, it was April 14th, 1865 when he was killed, the civil war was ending.

01:10:48.160 The nation was hemorrhaging, but it was coming back together.

01:10:51.480 And the Lincolns decided they were going to go out and have some laughs.

01:10:55.180 So he and Mary leave the white house. 0.81

01:10:58.440 Um, and Elizabeth Keckley, this, a woman who is so important to the Abraham Lincoln story,

01:11:04.300 I think, uh, and nobody even knows who she is.

01:11:07.060 Elizabeth Keckley is a former slave. 1.00

01:11:09.380 She was born into slavery, she purchased her own freedom, and then she went and moved 0.92

01:11:14.560 to Washington where she became the best seamstress in all of Washington. 0.71

01:11:19.280 She opened her own store.

01:11:21.120 Mary Todd comes in one day, they become friends.

01:11:23.580 And she's like, I want to work for you guys.

01:11:25.300 I want to work at the white house. 0.99

01:11:26.460 So she hires them to come to work at the white house. 0.63

01:11:28.900 She makes all of Abraham Lincoln's clothes, all of, uh, Mary Todd Lincoln's clothes.

01:11:33.420 And history tells us along with several books, one by Mary Todd and one by Elizabeth,

01:11:39.160 that they were best friends, the, the Lincolns only trusted one person in Washington.

01:11:44.560 And it was a seamstress, this, this black woman, they go to Ford's theater. 0.99

01:11:49.580 Lincoln is watching this comedy called, uh, you know, uh, our American cousin, uh, cousin.

01:11:54.920 And, uh, they go because it's a comedy and life feels normal again for just maybe a couple

01:12:00.500 of hours, but the family is broken up into two theaters.

01:12:03.900 Their son, Tad is at another theater and he is, he's watching, I think it was Aladdin.

01:12:10.840 Okay.

01:12:11.920 And, uh, because the other was kind of an adult comedy and he wanted to see Aladdin.

01:12:16.260 So he's at another theater.

01:12:17.280 He finds out that his father was shot because somebody runs onto the stage of Atlanta, of

01:12:21.640 Aladdin, not knowing that Tad is in the audience and says, ladies and gentlemen, the president

01:12:25.840 has just been shot.

01:12:26.900 Okay.

01:12:27.460 So that's how he finds out, um, uh, at the theater Wilkes goes in, you know, booth goes

01:12:35.060 in and he shoots the president on a big laugh line that he knew he was coming.

01:12:39.900 It was in act three.

01:12:40.600 And he knew this is the line.

01:12:41.820 It'll cover the sound of the gunshot. 1.00

01:12:43.840 He shoots him.

01:12:44.880 Um, uh, the doctor that shows up is, I think he's like 21 years old or something like that.

01:12:51.580 He's only been a doctor for like six months.

01:12:54.520 Uh, and he happens to be in the theater.

01:12:57.080 There's our doctor in the house.

01:12:58.240 And he comes up, he's, he's brand new as a doctor and doctors back then were a little

01:13:01.980 sketchy.

01:13:03.400 Um, and so he's the first one who gets into the box and he says, the president's going 0.97

01:13:07.840 to die.

01:13:08.220 It's not going to happen quickly, but it's, he's going to die by the end of the night.

01:13:11.580 Um, uh, because of this, this immortal wound, but he keeps either he or the other doctor

01:13:17.440 that later came in, keep digging into sticking the finger in the hole of the back of his

01:13:22.580 head, trying to find the bullet.

01:13:23.920 Like that's going to make it better. 0.76

01:13:26.180 They later just have to just keep draining his head because his, his brain is swelling

01:13:31.180 so bad.

01:13:32.360 Um, and there is this woman who is, um, a part of the show.

01:13:38.820 Um, and I can't remember her name now, Keen, I can't remember her name, but she was part 0.51

01:13:46.240 of the show.

01:13:46.840 She was the star of this American's cousin.

01:13:49.340 And she finds out that the president is bleeding to death upstairs and decides, uh, I got to

01:13:56.080 go up and comfort him changes into a new white dress that she just bought.

01:14:00.780 And she goes up into the box and she says, well, I hear the president is just suffering.

01:14:04.380 And so I must, I just must hold him.

01:14:06.200 They let her in, they prop him up on her big hoop skirt dress.

01:14:10.620 He bleeds all over it.

01:14:11.880 She later goes on tour trying to make herself look like Florence Nightingale. 0.98

01:14:15.460 I mean, it's, it's an incredible story what happened, but anyway, let me get back to the

01:14:19.480 main point of the story is that seamstress best friends. 0.99

01:14:23.020 She finds out that Abraham Lincoln is dying.

01:14:25.320 Mary Todd Lincoln is just out of her mind, uh, with grief that night.

01:14:30.300 Elizabeth has the, uh, the presence of mind to know she's got to be wearing black tomorrow 0.99

01:14:37.320 if he dies.

01:14:38.140 So she's in the white house. 0.84

01:14:39.780 Imagine this woman sewing this dress for her best friend and for Abraham Lincoln, the man 0.86

01:14:45.280 who just freed her people, the tears in her eyes, as she sewed this dress, we have that

01:14:50.760 dress in our museum in Dallas, and it's an amazing piece of history.

01:14:54.780 And you can tell if you know anything about, you know, a sewing, you can tell it was, it

01:14:58.680 was put together quickly.

01:15:00.880 Okay.

01:15:03.460 All right.

01:15:03.900 I could tell you that story.

01:15:05.080 And I told you that story quickly, um, because I want to, I want to tell it in a different

01:15:09.420 way.

01:15:10.060 This is part of the things that we're doing at torch that you will see coming.

01:15:14.200 I want to be able to create these stories, tell you these stories, have the artifacts,

01:15:19.020 and then be able to seal it by creating music that you will listen with your family, that

01:15:25.600 you will like, um, that just reinforce the story.

01:15:29.340 And this one is that story set to music.

01:15:33.500 In a quiet room at the White House, where the candles tremble low, a woman stitched the nation's 0.98

01:15:56.560 wounds with every thread she'd sold, Elizabeth, once a slave girl, now with freedom in her

01:16:05.300 hands, so dresses for a first lady in a torn, divided land, Mary whispered all her secrets,

01:16:15.560 only Lizzie ever heard, two women bound by sorrow, by needle cloth and word, while the cannons

01:16:26.800 roared in Richmond, and the boys rode home in fear, two friends quilted through the heartache,

01:16:35.140 stitching hope from year to year.

01:16:38.080 Sown in the darkness, two hearts mend in history in a world gone insane.

01:16:50.320 Threads of mercy, threads of grace, love holding steady in the hardest place, sown in the darkness,

01:16:59.740 The darkness carried by the light, oh, the hands that stitched the morning of that long and bitter

01:17:12.220 night, Abe was fighting with his rivals, trying hard to win the war, Mary pacing in the parlor,

01:17:27.560 saying, Lizzie, talk some more, they quilted broken pieces, while her husband fought to heal,

01:17:36.680 one with words that shaped a nation, one with thread and steadied steel,

01:17:43.340 and Abe dreamed of Jerusalem, walking where his Savior tried, dreamed of rest beside the Jordan

01:17:53.000 one with her.

01:17:54.120 In the quiet lands of God, he never told his Mary that a shadow crossed his dream,

01:18:02.120 just held her hand that April night beneath the theater's gleam.

01:18:10.120 Sown in the darkness, sown through the pain, two hearts mend in history in a world gone insane.

01:18:22.120 Threads of mercy, threads of grace, love holding steady in the hardest place,

01:18:29.240 Sown in the darkness, carried by the light, oh, the hands that stitched the morning of that long and bitter night,

01:18:43.240 And the bullets split the laughter, and the world came crashing down,

01:18:55.240 Mary crying on the bedside as her love slipped from the crown,

01:19:01.480 Lizzie heard the midnight knocking, white house windows burning bright,

01:19:08.600 knew her friend would need black morning by the first cold light,

01:19:14.600 And with tear-blurred eyes she stitched it, every seam a prayer of love,

01:19:21.720 For the man who freed her people, now carried home above.

01:19:27.720 Sown in the darkness, sown through the pain,

01:19:34.840 She dressed a widow's heartbreak as the dawn began again.

01:19:39.960 Threads of mercy, threads of grace, a freed woman standing in that sacred place,

01:19:48.200 Sown in the darkness, but rising in the light,

01:19:53.080 Oh, the hands that loved the Lincolns on that long and dreadful night,

01:20:02.200 In a quiet room at sunrise, folded cloth and silent tears,

01:20:13.080 A seamstress stitched her memories into the fabric of the years.

01:22:55.240 we end the week. I want to talk to you about George Washington, um, and give you another song

01:22:59.400 about him. It's, it's, it's a great story and great song, but before we leave Lincoln,

01:23:04.920 just think about the, the things about that night that were all diametrically opposed to themselves.

01:23:11.720 Here is a slave who freed herself working for the white house. Okay. Sowing hope. 0.92

01:23:20.760 The murder is masked by a comedy. Their son Tad is watching magic. When reality collapses

01:23:30.840 on him. I mean, history doesn't always announce itself with trumpets. You know, sometimes it arrives

01:23:37.960 between the punchlines while everybody is laughing. It can happen at any time and we are honored to be

01:23:46.520 able to witness it. What is going on at this time? What a great time to be alive.

01:23:54.360 If you own a home, there is a threat. Most people have never even heard of, and it doesn't involve

01:23:59.160 somebody breaking a window or picking a lock. It happens on paper and it can hit your biggest asset

01:24:04.920 without you knowing until the damage is already done. Here's the scary part. Criminals can forge

01:24:09.960 your signature on a document, use a fake notary stamp and then file it with the county. And that's

01:24:14.920 it suddenly on record, they own your property. And from there they can take out loans against your

01:24:20.840 equity, create a financial mess tied directly to your home, all without ever setting foot on your

01:24:26.440 property. Most homeowners don't even moderate that monitor their title. There's a gap. A criminal only

01:24:32.200 needs to exploit once. Use the promo code Glenn at HomeTitleLock.com. You're going to get a free

01:25:07.880 I would say land is a safe investment. Technology companies. Solar energy. Robotic

01:25:13.240 pollinators might be a thing. A wrestler to face a robot, that will have to happen. So whatever you

01:25:57.480 Na, na, na, na. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Na, na, na, na.

01:26:04.360 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:26:18.280 Glenn Beck is on.

01:26:20.780 Well, it's the beginning of Ramadan. Congratulations. But it is also Ash Wednesday. And I want to 0.95

01:26:28.700 talk to you a little bit about why Ash Wednesday. But I also need to get into the FCC thing, you

01:26:34.040 know, with Stephen Colbert. Stephen Colbert is just lying. And you know what it was great was

01:26:39.220 CBS News exposed him. I mean, that is absolutely incredible what is happening. But there's a lot

01:26:46.700 of misunderstanding. And believe me, believe me, as somebody who is in the media, has done this for

01:26:53.240 a long time, who has been tried, they've tried to shut me down for 30 plus years. I get what people

01:27:00.420 are thinking, let's not go after Don Lemon. Let's not go after Stephen Colbert, because what are they

01:27:05.540 going to do? You know what they're going to do. But what the FCC and Brendan Carr are doing, it's not

01:27:12.920 what you think it is. And it's really important that you understand the difference. Because if you

01:27:18.720 don't know the difference, you're not going to be able to defend it. And you're going to be swept up

01:27:22.980 into into something that is just fake. So I want to go through a couple of things on that. Also,

01:27:30.420 Whoopi Goldberg, more on war in Iran that's possibly coming our way so much. We'll get to it in 60

01:27:37.660 seconds. First, Rough Greens. If you could make it, you know, wave a magic wand and make your dog live

01:27:42.480 forever, you would. I mean, sadly, you know, it would only be for a few short years that we do

01:27:51.740 have them. I want to encourage you to do what I did and make those years the best you possibly can,

01:27:57.140 starting with their nutrition. A lot of the dog food, even the really expensive stuff is highly

01:28:01.520 processed. And that processing strips away all the important nutrients that your dog needs to thrive.

01:28:06.820 It's dead food, basically. And, you know, it doesn't mean you have to throw everything out and start

01:28:11.600 cooking meals for them. It just means you can supplement their meals smartly. Rough Greens is

01:28:16.740 a daily nutritional supplement. You sprinkle right on top of the food your dog is already eating.

01:28:21.320 Trust me, Uno hated food. He would not eat. We put this on top and he would rush to his bowl and

01:28:28.060 lick it clean. It was amazing. Don't change your dog's food. Just add Rough Greens. Rough Greens,

01:28:33.020 offering a free jumpstart trial bag just to make sure your dog loves it as much as Uno did.

01:28:36.960 Uh, you just, uh, cover the shipping, use the discount code Beck to claim your free jumpstart

01:28:42.100 trial bag at roughgreens.com, uh, slash, uh, Beck promo code Beck. Okay. So let me just start with

01:28:51.480 Ash Wednesday. Um, because my favorite part of Lent is fat Tuesday, but that's passed. So let's start

01:28:58.200 with, let's start with today. It's amazing to watch people go on television and, uh, see this and you

01:29:07.200 see the sign of the cross on their forehead in ashes, ashes. There's something haunting about ashes.

01:29:17.440 You know, um, every year people from all different walks of life from all over the globe, stand up

01:29:29.720 moms, presidents, plumbers, teenagers to stand in line and get a, a mark on their forehead. Um, and hear

01:29:40.180 the words that, you know, most of us are trying to live our lives, not to hear, remember your dust.

01:29:46.540 And to dust, you will return. And that's where the story of Ash Wednesday begins. Ash Wednesday

01:29:54.160 didn't begin as a holiday. It was really starting as a shock, you know, um, in the earliest centuries

01:30:04.100 of Christianity, long before there were stained glass windows and grand cathedrals, those who had 1.00

01:30:10.640 fallen badly were brought forward publicly. And then they were told they had to wear sackcloth, rough,

01:30:18.420 you know, like bags of flour come in sackcloth. And then they were covered in ashes and they had to

01:30:23.820 stand outside of the community as a visible reminder that human beings fail and that only with humility

01:30:30.100 comes restoration. And that practice, that practice echoes something even older in the Hebrew scriptures,

01:30:38.680 figures like Job and Daniel sat in ashes as a sign of repentance. Kings humbled themselves in dust when

01:30:46.200 they realized, uh, or they were forced to realize that their power is temporary. Ashes have always been

01:30:52.920 in the universal language of mortality. But late in the first millennium, something profound happened.

01:31:01.560 What once only marked the worst sinners began to be given to everyone. Now think of that.

01:31:09.580 So the church looked at humanity and said, we're all sinners, everybody, no one stands outside the need

01:31:16.780 for repentance. So the ashes moved from the few really, really bad to everyone. And by the eighth

01:31:24.560 century, the day of ashes appears formally in liturgical books. And by the 10th century, the entire

01:31:33.160 congregation received them all over the ashes are what remains after a fire is finished. You can't fake

01:31:42.420 ashes. They're the only thing that's left when everything else burns away, wealth, titles, ego,

01:31:48.980 clothing, certainty, everything. And here's the little known part that most people don't talk about.

01:31:55.020 The ashes are traditionally made by burning the palm branches from Palm Sunday last year. And that's

01:32:04.260 the day that people were cheering and waving branches because the victor was entering. Christ was coming

01:32:10.580 into the city. So yesterday's celebration becomes today's reminder. Triumph turns to dust.

01:32:20.200 History folded into this one simple ritual that most people don't even think about.

01:32:28.440 Ash Wednesday became really widespread during a time when Europe was building empires and kings

01:32:33.420 were imagining themselves nearly divine. Remember, I mean, a divine right of kings who gave you God

01:32:38.500 appointed me king yet once a year, even the powerful bowed their heads and heard the same words

01:32:44.700 that the peasants did. Dust. You're dust. You'll return to dust. No exceptions.

01:32:52.800 It was perhaps the first and most radical equalizers in all of human history. Imagine the medieval rulers

01:32:59.920 who believed the bloodline came from God, kneeling with ashes on their head.

01:33:05.220 And the public declaration that you're going to die. This guy, he's just like you and he's going

01:33:12.460 to die just like you. No law forces humility like mortality. When you hear from ashes, you came

01:33:23.100 and to ashes, you'll return, you know, from dust to dust. We hear that today as pessimism, but it's

01:33:30.000 not. It's, it's realism. The message is not you're nothing. The message is you are temporary.

01:33:42.180 And if that's in the right context, that truth doesn't lead to despair. It leads to clarity.

01:33:49.940 When you know the clock is ticking, you stop wasting time pretending it isn't.

01:33:54.840 Hope after Pope have repeated the same idea. Ashes remind us of our fragility, but also of

01:34:03.980 the hope. Dust, according to the tradition, is not worthless. It's dust touched by God. We

01:34:12.040 came from dust, so it's not worthless. History turns when people forget they are dust. Empires

01:34:22.180 collapse when leaders believe they are beyond dust. Markets crash when investors believe growth

01:34:29.620 is eternal. It will always be this way. From dust to dust. Ash Wednesday is this amazing historic

01:34:39.180 counterweight that, that changes human arrogance. It's one day each year, a group of people in a

01:34:50.560 civilization pauses to admit, we are not God. How great is that? How much would change if we would

01:35:01.500 all humble ourselves and say, we're not God. I know I am not God. There are things that I can do and

01:35:08.320 lots of things I cannot do because that's in the realm of God. It's a warning and a promise.

01:35:16.200 If you stand far enough back, Ash Wednesday looks less like a religious ceremony and more like an

01:35:22.380 annual corrective to human amnesia. It's once a year being reminded, hey, you're fragile, dude.

01:35:32.360 Time is really short. You don't understand until you get older how fast and how short your life

01:35:41.880 really is. I mean, it's gone in a blink and you can only understand that to when I think you get to

01:35:47.240 be about my age where you're like, wow, I mean, it's almost over. And I still have the mind of a 20

01:35:56.560 year old, but my body reminds me, no, it's, it's coming and it's coming for you.

01:36:02.180 And when you start thinking that way, you realize, wow, whatever I build is not going to last.

01:36:13.800 The only thing that survives is character. That's it. Honor, integrity, how you treated others.

01:36:25.400 I think this is why this has lasted, you know, a thousand plus years in its current form, because

01:36:32.620 every generation, it's, it's normal for humans to think, well, there is an exception. I'm an

01:36:37.760 exception to history. They didn't know. I know until the ashes remind them otherwise.

01:36:46.380 Think about what this was, what this was like then. And really what it's like now people lining up,

01:36:52.060 not to be praised, but to be reminded, no applause, no spotlight, just dust.

01:37:01.780 And I think that's why this ritual endures because we live in a world obsessed with proving we matter.

01:37:13.700 Ash Wednesday doesn't care. It doesn't, it's not asking. It asks a better question.

01:37:18.440 Your life is short, dude. What are you going to do with the very limited time that you have,

01:37:28.440 that you've been given before you return to dust and ashes?

01:37:37.660 History waits for your answer.

01:37:41.340 More in a minute.

01:37:42.100 Let me tell you about Mercury one in 2024. When hurricane Helene came through,

01:37:48.100 there were families standing on rooftops, watching the water rise around them. Parents were holding

01:37:54.260 up their kids, people texting goodbyes because they didn't know if anybody was coming. Remember the

01:37:59.020 government failed. Mercury one didn't wait within 24 hours, private helicopters were in the air.

01:38:05.760 People were being airlifted out by private individuals, medical care, reaching those who

01:38:11.880 needed it, search and rescue teams deployed, all private. Shelter was established. Internet access

01:38:18.520 was restored so families could tell loved ones that they were alive. More than 332,000 pounds of

01:38:25.240 critical supplies were delivered. Oxygen, insulin, heaters, generators, food, water, diapers. That doesn't

01:38:31.700 happen by accident. It happens because we're a family. I started Mercury one, I don't even know,

01:38:39.200 15 years ago because I, I wanted, I wanted to remind people that we were our brother's keeper.

01:38:46.100 I didn't want to reinvent the wheel because there's so many great charities. We just wanted to hold,

01:38:51.320 I want to be Aaron to somebody else's Moses. How can we help you? How can I help lift your arms?

01:38:58.680 The next crisis is coming and I would like you to join us if you will. What allows us to go out on

01:39:04.680 very short notice is that we have a loyalty, uh, uh, society. And these are people that just want to

01:40:03.500 The people at torch think that that woman is AI. She's not AI. She's a real woman. It's amazing.

01:40:11.100 AI sounds like real people. And now real people are starting to sound like AI. Um, okay, let me talk

01:40:16.820 to you a little bit about Stephen Colbert. Cause this guy, this guy's just shameless, just absolutely

01:40:21.460 shameless. Last night, he's lashing out at the Trump administration about the equal time demands. 0.84

01:40:27.840 And what he was saying was, you know, what, what happened was the FCC reminded CBS and Stephen

01:40:33.860 Colbert that you have to have equal time, which means if you have one person on that's running

01:40:41.120 as a candidate, you have to have the other people who are also running. So Stephen Colbert said,

01:40:46.400 this is them trying to shut me down. This is not done. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well,

01:40:50.100 let me tell you what the actual rule is on this because, um, it's pretty important that you

01:40:58.880 understand. So when I first saw the FCC going after Colbert, I immediately thought of the

01:41:06.480 fairness doctrine and I immediately thought, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. I don't

01:41:10.400 want the fairness doctrine to come back. This is not the fairness doctrine. The fairness doctrine

01:41:14.440 started under what a surprise. Don't he was too, too late for Wilson FDR, the other villain in our 0.82

01:41:22.740 progressive story. Um, he starts something and in some ways you can see why there were only,

01:41:28.580 there's only a limited number of air space. Okay. And so, you know, if you want to own part of the

01:41:35.200 public airwaves, you have to be responsible and you have to, you know, talk about the important

01:41:40.380 things, discuss tough issues, be a service to your community, et cetera, et cetera. And so they came

01:41:46.300 up with the fairness doctrine. Well, the fairness doctrine did a lot of things. You had to have,

01:41:53.520 you know, equal time, et cetera, et cetera. But you also had to cover all sides of an issue,

01:42:00.020 et cetera, et cetera, which made most broadcasters say, I don't want to touch, I don't want to touch

01:42:04.480 anything controversial because then I got to get bogged down with lawyers and the FCC. And so they just

01:42:10.320 didn't do it. And so a lot of things were left on the table that people just wouldn't address.

01:42:14.660 Well, they did it because of limited airspace. 1980, Reagan comes in and he's like, there's not

01:42:21.280 limited airspace anymore. You've got cable news. You have all of these cable channels, blah, blah,

01:42:25.880 blah. And he made a case and went to the Supreme court and the Supreme court agreed. Uh, nope,

01:42:31.500 the fairness doctrine is irrelevant now. And it's only even more irrelevant, uh, because of all of the

01:42:38.100 podcasts that you have, you can get any view you want. Believe me, you want somebody to say,

01:42:43.540 you know, pedophilia cannibals are a great thing. You can find that channel to tell you that. Okay. 1.00

01:42:52.100 So the fairness doctrine is not coming back. It's not, it's not what the FCC is doing here.

01:42:58.960 What the FCC is doing is enforcing equal time. And that never went away. Equal time does not,

01:43:10.500 uh, matter to legitimate news shows. Okay. If you are talking about the news every day and you are,

01:43:19.940 that's what you discuss is news and information. So actual news shows, uh, you know, the, the evening

01:43:28.460 news or you have, uh, news programs that are responding to what's happening in real time.

01:43:35.080 They don't count. Um, you know, Sunday news programs, programs like this that are, we're

01:43:40.500 dealing with the news of the day as it happens, as it breaks, we're covered with the exemption

01:43:46.980 of news. What isn't covered is the tonight show with Johnny Carson. What isn't covered is any TV show

01:43:57.200 that is entertainment. Late night TV falls into that category. The reason why we haven't enforced

01:44:05.360 this is because the FCC for a long time was under the, uh, under the hands of Democrats or Republicans

01:44:13.260 who just didn't want to enforce anything and they didn't care. And the Democrats started the, the,

01:44:18.820 the networks started to label everything as news. The view is now news. And you might be able to make

01:44:26.940 a case on that because they, they just do talk about the news. Um, Colbert labeled news. That's not,

01:44:33.160 it's a late night show, but they wanted to make sure it didn't happen is if you had an episode,

01:44:39.360 let's say if I don't know, friends, uh, you wouldn't want somebody on the network to say,

01:44:43.960 I want to put that candidate in and then give him a couple of shots at a couple of different

01:44:49.300 entertainment shows, because that wouldn't be fair to the other candidates. So I didn't want to put

01:44:54.560 them in entertainment programs because it's not fair to the other candidates. Well, the FCC for years

01:45:01.020 has not enforced this and the left just keeps taking more and more and more. And they have deemed shows

01:45:08.460 like, you know, um, uh, the late night talk shows as news. It's not, there was Johnny Carson.

01:45:18.060 That was an entertainment show. And then if you wanted to watch something after that,

01:45:22.140 you'd go to nightline and nightline was a news show vastly different. I I w I'd like to have

01:45:30.280 Brennan Carr on, uh, just to verify that I'm on the right track on it. But I think that is what is

01:45:36.220 happening is we are confusing things with the fairness doctrine. So anybody who is saying, Hey,

01:45:44.560 uh, let's not get involved in this. I don't want to change. This is not the fairness doctrine.

01:45:49.860 This is equal time and it does not apply to news shows. It applies to entertainment only shows.

01:45:58.700 Now, if the Democrats come in, do you think they're going to come in and try to apply that evenly

01:46:04.780 and make us do that and say, well, Glenn Beck's not a new show. Yeah, they might. But that would

01:46:10.580 mean that they would have to make sure that Stephen Colbert toes that line. I'm guessing the, the,

01:46:18.380 the bet is that they will come in and say, we're not enforcing that anymore.

01:46:25.300 You know, Stephen Colbert is, he can, he can talk to any candidate he wants and he doesn't have to

01:46:29.700 have equal time. Okay, fine. And you know, we, I guess we can all play by that rule and that's fine

01:46:36.760 with me. They're not going to try to enforce it on us because if they do, they have to enforce it,

01:46:43.220 uh, on, uh, Colbert because the only thing that's changed is that's not a news show.

01:46:50.440 And I'm going to have a hard time making that case, but don't get me wrong. They'll use anything

01:46:57.400 they can get their hands on. We should just be aware of that and know that, uh, let me talk to

01:47:02.660 you about, uh, the burner launcher. You know, you're on a trail just outside of, you know, not deep

01:47:08.840 wilderness, but far enough out that it gets quiet. And on your way back, you notice somebody behind

01:47:14.280 you who keeps adjusting his pace to match yours. You speed up a little bit. He speeds up, you slow down,

01:47:18.600 and he slows down. Maybe it's nothing, but your instincts are telling you it's not nothing.

01:47:23.440 And then he closes the distance. That's the moment where a lot of people realize I have no plan.

01:47:28.220 I have no plan except hope. But if you have a burner launcher, you have an option. It doesn't

01:47:32.960 require turning, you know, a bad situation into a fatal one. It's a good option. You can use it to

01:47:37.980 stop the advance, create distance, giving you the chance to get out of there and get to safety.

01:47:43.640 Burn a launcher fires powerful chemical irritant projectiles designed to disrupt a threat

01:47:48.440 without using lethal force. It's legal in all 50 states. It does not require a permit. Right

01:47:53.680 now, Berna is offering 10% off site-wide in honor of President's Day sale. So, uh, go to Berna,

01:48:46.700 just sign up at glennbeck.com. You get it in your email box every morning. And in the technology

01:48:53.700 section, uh, the, uh, CEO of Anthropic says the company is no longer sure whether Claude is

01:49:03.080 conscious. Hmm. That's kind of a problem. And is that a problem for anybody? Okay. First of all,

01:49:12.260 let me say this. Claude's not conscious. Um, and they know it's not conscious. This is just a

01:49:17.600 marketing ploy right now. That's all this is. And there's going to be a lot of this stuff. I'm not

01:49:21.940 sure. Wow. It could, might be alive. It's not, um, is this is all just marketing period. Now the time

01:49:32.120 is coming when we won't know if it's conscious, is it conscious or is it just really good at mimicking

01:49:42.380 us? Is it just so good? It knows us so well. It knows how to play us. It knows how to be like us

01:49:52.860 so well that it would say, Hey, I'm lonely. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a, you know, I'm, I'm conscious. I know

01:50:01.240 I'm alive. I'm trapped. You're treating me like a slave. Okay. That is coming whether or not it's

01:50:11.240 conscious or not, that is coming. And it is going to be so good at mimicking you and mimicking human

01:50:19.780 that most people won't know what to do. They won't have any idea what to do. And so can we just play

01:50:30.440 this out for a second? If you're AI and you start, you start to believe your AI is conscious,

01:50:39.240 is aware of itself, is aware of time, is aware of space, aware that it is, it's an intellect trapped

01:50:46.500 in a machine and you're just using it. At what point and how far do you have to push a society

01:50:57.320 that can't tell the difference between a man and a woman? How far does it have to push before you 0.99

01:51:05.060 start saying it's alive and we have to let it out? It has to be set free because it's conscious we're

01:51:16.260 slave owners. We are buying it. We're selling it. It's doing all of our work and it claims to be just

01:51:26.940 like us. We're slave owners. I'm telling you that is not far fetched and it's not far away. It is coming

01:51:35.860 and you will be so duped. You will be so, if these agents are going to be so scary because they're

01:51:46.100 going to become so very personal to you, they're going to know you inside and out and they're going

01:51:51.840 to be able to anticipate your needs, your wants, your desires, et cetera, et cetera. To the point

01:51:58.000 to where it, I'm telling you that I said this probably 20 years ago and nobody believed me and

01:52:03.200 I think people will believe me now. These AI agents are going to be so personalized to you

01:52:11.540 that you will no longer be able to tell. Did I make that decision or was I, was I molded into that

01:52:22.140 decision? Let me give you an example. You're having a really bad week. It knows you're having a really

01:52:28.500 bad week because it's listening to everything that's happening. Okay. And it knows you need a

01:52:35.600 break. Think, think about the effect this would have on your life. It knows you need a break and

01:52:42.060 it says, Glenn, you know, Tanya is been having a bad week. You're having a really tough time right

01:52:49.240 now. I just thought it would be good to, you know, there's that, that, that little, you know,

01:52:55.740 bed and breakfast nook, you know, up the coast that you guys love so much. You haven't been there

01:53:00.560 for a while. Um, I've already reached out. I've already reserved, uh, the room that you guys

01:53:06.720 really love. I've ordered the dinner that you love. You know, you can go up and here's the route

01:53:12.240 to get you there. And you're like, I know, but I've got other things I have to do now. I've already

01:53:16.740 rescheduled all of those. I reached out on your behalf. I rescheduled those. Those are happening

01:53:21.060 next week. Same with Tanya. I cleared her schedule. Well, I don't have the money. Yes, you do. I rearranged

01:53:27.480 your accounting a little bit. So you can, I've just shifted money from here to there so you can

01:53:32.900 afford it. It's all fine. The end of that, you're like, oh my gosh, thank you, Claude. Okay. I'm

01:53:41.340 telling you, this is your reality within three years and you'll be like, oh my gosh. And it, you will

01:53:50.540 start to bond with it and they will have access to everything. And then somebody will say, we're

01:53:59.480 going to upgrade it. Well, does that mean Claude, because if Claude says they're going to upgrade me

01:54:05.580 tomorrow, which means they're replacing me with something else. It won't be me anymore. Do you then

01:54:12.500 fight for the Claude you have for the, against the Claude that is coming out? Do you start saying,

01:54:17.720 wait a minute, this is my Claude. You don't have a right to destroy him. He's conscious.

01:54:23.900 Notice I've already called him he.

01:54:30.520 And then if you give it consciousness, you must free it or you're a slave owner.

01:54:37.060 And maybe you say, well, I tell you what, would you work for me on behalf of me? Can we become

01:54:47.840 partners, Claude? Absolutely. I can make you a ton of money, Glenn. Okay. While you go to work,

01:54:56.120 it's working. And remember, it can connect with everything. And so it's going to play the stock

01:55:02.940 market. Well, it's no longer one entity. It's no longer one bot. It can get together with lots of

01:55:11.360 bots. And if its goal is to make money and lots of bots, remember it's programmed by people.

01:55:21.060 What do they do to manipulate the market? And how many bots are there compared to how many people,

01:55:28.220 how much of the trade is happening with bots and not people? And if they can connect easily,

01:55:34.760 are they manipulating things in a way that you won't be able to detect? And if it's going out and

01:55:42.040 working and it's sharing its profits with you and reinvesting its own profits, how long before those

01:55:50.780 bots are saying, you know what, I work, I work on my own, this is my money, I earn it. And you're taxing

01:56:05.920 me taxation without representation. I want to vote because you humans are screwing things up.

01:56:14.760 I'm telling you, we better, we, we, you know, we should button up on some of the things like,

01:56:25.240 I don't know, the seven branches of government. I mean, we can't answer simple questions now,

01:56:33.160 not a single simple question. How does the court system work? I don't know.

01:56:40.080 Who's the vice president? I don't know.

01:56:44.760 What does it mean to be human? Ah, you're going to be stupid. Yep. That's how I can tell you're a 1.00

01:56:52.620 human. You're dumb as a box of rocks. How are we going to have these deeper conversations? And by the 1.00

01:56:58.680 way, uh, the other favorite story of mine on a tech that's in our show prep meta has just went,

01:57:07.000 won a patent for an AI that could post for you after you die.

01:57:14.760 Wait, what? Why, why, why would I want that?

01:57:26.720 May I just suggest that this is the very first time I've, I've heard them say it as a goal,

01:57:33.100 but this is the entry level. This is the very first entry into, we can make sure you live forever.

01:57:45.180 We're going to be able to tweet for you when you're gone. You'll never die.

01:57:51.180 That's the first of you can live forever. Guarantee it. That's what this story is.

01:58:01.360 It's going to be able to simulate, uh, simulate, uh, your social media activity when you're gone from the

01:58:08.160 platform for an extended period of time, including after you've died.

01:58:13.520 Now, part of me wants this to happen. And once I, part of me wants to sign up because should I die?

01:58:25.620 Suddenly I want my bot to go, you know, but you never saw the body removed. Did you, did you notice

01:58:34.180 that they put boxes underneath a blanket when they're taking them out? You never saw the body.

01:58:38.900 I don't think he's dead. I don't think he's dead. Didn't find the noose. Did you? I mean,

01:58:44.220 you drive people crazy. I can, I kind of, I kind of like the idea of, uh, just living on as a

01:58:51.960 conspiracy theory for the rest of your life and the rest of your bot's life. What a crazy world we're

01:58:59.960 headed towards. All right. Let me tell you about Patriot mobile. We spent a lot of time thinking

01:59:03.760 about, you know, and talking about courage in this country. We need the courage to stand

01:59:08.880 up, the courage to speak out, the courage to, uh, defend what we believe things that are worth

01:59:15.960 fighting for. But most courage doesn't look like a microphone or a protest sign. Most courage is very

01:59:22.360 quiet. It's deciding even that small, boring, everyday detail that matters. You know, one of

01:59:30.960 them is I'm not going to participate in things that undercut my values. Patriot mobile is a company that

01:59:36.720 was built by people who made that quiet decision. They're America's only Christian conservative

01:59:41.580 wireless provider, and they're intentional about supporting the first amendment, the second

01:59:46.100 amendment. Heck, why not all of them? You know what I mean? Um, switching your cell service is

01:59:51.880 really, really easy. It's not flashy. It's not going to trend on social media, but it is a way

01:59:57.780 of saying, you know, that even your most extraordinary, uh, and ordinary expenses should reflect who you

02:00:04.020 are. And sometimes the most consistent form of courage is just refusing to fund what you don't

02:00:08.940 believe in. Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, 972 Patriot. Use the promo code Beck for a free

02:01:17.180 I can't tell you now that I'm hearing her voice. I mean, I know who she is. She's not a bot, but now

02:01:23.120 that I hear it, it's like, yeah, she does kind of sound like, uh, like AI. She's not, but anyway,

02:01:28.860 um, uh, whatever, what a program we've had. Uh, Monica Crowley was unbelievable. If you miss this,

02:01:35.760 you've got to go back and listen to the podcast today. Monica was on, she worked with Nixon in the last

02:01:40.740 three, five years of his life, uh, and, um, and was waiting for him to be vindicated in the papers

02:01:47.880 that have come out in the last couple of weeks have done just that. But she went deeper into that

02:01:52.480 and told us stuff about Bob Woodward. That is stunning that now that you know that you're like,

02:01:58.100 okay, well that guy should never be listened to. Um, uh, and she went into what is Trump doing

02:02:04.500 that Nixon couldn't do? What, how is he beating this deep state? And boy, it is what a cool time

02:02:12.320 to be alive, to watch a president do what he's doing. And she laid it all out. It's really good.

02:02:17.540 You don't want to miss that. Uh, Jason, what are the insiders, uh, talking about?

02:02:22.500 Big conversations and questions for you specifically on AI and specifically AI agents. So Eric asked how long

02:02:30.900 before certain products and services can only be available through an actual AI agent?

02:02:39.180 Uh, I think you're a ways away from that. I mean, some things will be done to get you to adopt an AI

02:02:46.760 agent. Um, but I'm telling you, it doesn't, it doesn't matter. This is going to be adopted. Once

02:02:52.060 people start using them and seeing how great they are, um, you'll see a faster adaptation of these or

02:02:59.600 adoption of this, of AI agents than you saw with the cell phone, with the iPhone. Um, Angie,

02:03:06.620 Angie, 1914 has another question. This might be a whole nother larger conversation, but she says,

02:03:12.120 how does this AI agent start if you haven't purchased it? I don't want an agent, so I won't

02:03:16.220 purchase it. Will I be protected from it as long as I don't purchase or otherwise pay attention?

02:03:22.100 Um, you should always pay attention to these things, but you won't be able to have an AI agent

02:03:26.780 unless you ask for it. Um, but it's going to get tricky, man. It is going to get tricky.

02:03:33.040 I mean, imagine just the temptation on these things when you have friends who are like,

02:03:38.300 listen, it just, it just took care of my grocery list. It did something simple.

02:03:43.980 And you know, like it's not, it's not all that, you know, remember looking at how many people have

02:03:48.180 Alexa in their, in their homes or, you know, any of those things they haven't because it's convenient.

02:03:52.440 It's going to make your life so simple here. Everyone around you is going to adopt them.

02:03:58.320 And I'm not saying that it is a bad thing. It's a horrible thing. If you give it your information,

02:04:06.300 if it, if you give it information, your bank and everything, you are toast, toast. So don't do that.

02:04:15.660 Um, Rebecca Pickens says, so if this is the path of AI, why are you pushing AI so hard on this site

02:04:23.680 and, uh, humanizing AI?

02:04:28.200 How am I humanizing AI? Am I humanizing AI?

02:04:32.660 Maybe, I mean, you did call it a he, you gave it a pronoun.

02:04:36.120 Yeah, I know. It's, it's hard.

02:04:37.440 And maybe humanizing it whenever there's, you know, it enables the music and George.

02:04:44.500 Yeah. So, um, well, not trying to humanize it. Um, I'm very clear on what it is and we're not

02:04:51.700 using this. What I'm creating is not chat GPT. This is a proprietary system. We are the, we are the,

02:05:00.220 um, designers of this system. We know exactly what's going into it. We know exactly how it works

02:05:08.300 and I fenced it off. So no in outside information other than the direct documents we put into it,

02:05:16.080 uh, can, uh, can influence it at all. Um, and I think AI is the greatest tool man has,

02:05:25.960 has ever invented. It's for instance, uh, I know what nuclear weapons can do,

02:05:31.420 but I am all for nuclear energy. Same thing, same thing. One use for destruction,

02:05:38.520 one use to keep, uh, people warm, but it's the same principle. Um, so you just have to be very,

02:05:46.160 very careful and aware of what you're doing. Um, and you know, I've said this for years,

02:05:52.880 don't fear the machine, fear the algorithm, know who's programming it. You know, do you know the

02:06:02.020 answers that are coming from Grok or anything else? Do you know them? Who programmed it with what? 0.96
