Also, Jeff Brown joins the show to talk all about artificial intelligence and what it means for the future.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 I try with the best of my abilities to be prepared for anything, and I try to prepare you for
00:00:05.080 anything. One of the things that we really have to pay attention to is heat and being able to cook.
00:00:12.540 Now, this could be just from a power outage because of a storm. This could be catastrophic
00:00:17.960 failure, whatever. You have to be able to keep warm, and you also have to cook. And this is
00:00:23.360 something that is great even if you're a camper. But about three years ago, we had a real bad storm
00:00:28.860 here in Texas, and I was on the air wondering, how are people heating their home? How are they
00:00:33.580 cooking? Well, My Patriot Supply came up with something called Vesta. They researched and did
00:00:41.040 all kinds of work on this thing for about two, two and a half years, and they have just released
00:00:46.580 this product. It runs on canned heat that burns really, really hot, and yet it's totally safe.
00:00:52.320 You light the fuel within minutes. You can boil water and heat a 200-square-foot room at the same
00:00:58.360 time. It's fantastic. MyPatriotSupply.com. MyPatriotSupply.com.
00:01:02.420 We've got no room to compromise. We've got to stand together. It's the course of life.
00:01:22.700 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Stand up, stand up, stand up, hold the line. It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.
00:01:35.820 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:41.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:47.100 And hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We've got a great show for you today.
00:01:53.340 We have Mike Pompeo going to be on, Mike Lee, who has an update for us on, did we blow up the
00:02:00.780 Nord Stream Pipeline? He has a powerful update coming up on the program today. Also, I wanted to
00:02:07.760 start with some good news. I wanted to start with really, truly one of my favorite, personal favorite
00:02:13.120 guests. I love this guy. I could have him on the Glenn Beck listener only program every day. I love
00:02:24.640 listening to this guy. He is one of the most brilliant people I know, and he watches future
00:02:31.820 tech. His name is Jeff Brown. He's been on the program before. Every time he's on, ratings go through
00:02:37.680 the roof. Apparently, you love him as much as I do. He is a high-tech expert, and he's known for his
00:02:45.560 futuristic predictions. And he has not been wrong, as far as I know, on anything he's ever said over
00:02:53.320 the last five years of knowing him. He's not been wrong on anything he's said here. I wanted to end
00:02:58.780 our AI week with Jeff Brown. He is spot on and very optimistic. Usually, will that continue? He's
00:03:12.760 coming in about a half hour, but I've got this podcast that we did yesterday that I want to play
00:03:17.940 a few things that are, I think, positive. Things that, you know, what is around, just around the
00:03:25.740 corner, literally just around the corner, that give you hope. Jeff Brown in 60 seconds.
00:03:35.380 All right, Good Ranchers is here. That is, that's what I'm going to have for my birthday Super Bowl meal
00:03:41.540 on Sunday. Yeah, that's right. Good Ranchers. Tanya said, what do you want? And we just had,
00:03:47.500 we had just gotten the box of Good Ranchers, and I said, oh, I think you know what I want.
00:03:54.300 And she went, ah, that used to take on different connotation when we were younger, but now I know
00:04:01.040 you're just talking about a steak. Oh, yeah. Good Ranchers. Right now, you can get a great box
00:04:08.500 from Good Ranchers of, of really good steak, hamburger, chicken, even fish. Here's the thing.
00:04:16.580 Good Ranchers is working with the ranchers here in America, and they're looking for these guys that
00:04:23.640 are just being browbeaten, and really, truly, I think, intentionally being forced out of business.
00:04:30.300 They're trying to save the Good Ranchers and provide you with good American meat.
00:04:36.420 GoodRanchers.com. Go there now. Snag $30 off your order with the promo code BECK. It's
00:04:44.000 GoodRanchers.com. You can lock in the price of your meat today. Meat's supposed to go up another 15%.
00:04:53.060 Not if you're a part of Good Ranchers. Go to GoodRanchers.com. GoodRanchers.com.
00:04:58.880 So, artificial intelligence has made tremendous strides in just the last three months and even
00:05:06.720 the three weeks. AI bots like ChatGPT are only the beginning. If you have ever tried the search
00:05:17.200 site Bing, right? You don't have to ask Jeeves. It sucks. It doesn't suck now. Like, this week,
00:05:29.580 all of a sudden, it's like, whoa, wow, that's good. How did Microsoft and Bing do that? ChatGPT.
00:05:37.680 We have Jeff Brown in studio in about a half an hour, but on the podcast that was released
00:05:44.500 yesterday afternoon for Blaze TV subscribers, it's up on Blaze TV today, and it will go out
00:05:51.100 as my podcast for Saturday, wherever you get your podcast. He joined me to talk about predictions
00:06:00.160 about the future right around the corner, and he gives me a preview of technology that is
00:06:09.360 going to change our life, and he said there is one thing that is happening by the end of
00:06:16.880 the year, I think he said, that will totally change everyone's life. And when I asked him
00:06:25.720 to compare it to the iPhone, his answer is fascinating. It is a digital assistant. Now,
00:06:34.360 imagine an assistant that, you know, is on your phone, and it's listening to everything you say.
00:06:44.120 I know, I know it gets freaky, but it's listening to everything that you say. It reads all of your
00:06:50.520 emails, it listens to all of your phone calls, and it knows you. It's not, it's not like clippy,
00:06:58.620 okay? It actually knows you. It comes preloaded on your phone with all of the information that
00:07:07.560 Apple and everybody else has gathered on you. Your phone can come preloaded with all of your
00:07:13.760 preferences, and then it learns quickly as you're setting it up, okay, his preference of this and
00:07:22.000 this and this, and then over the next couple of weeks, it learns everything about you. So you get
00:07:28.300 up in the morning, and your phone just doesn't have a list of things to do. Your phone says your
00:07:34.440 assistant, and it will be an audio assistant as well, not just like a little chat, and it will say
00:07:41.500 things like, hey, I noticed that you were really stressed out. You and your wife had a hard time
00:07:46.760 last night. Have you thought about getting away? And you would have been thinking about, I just got
00:07:53.760 to get a couple of days away. My wife and I, we just need to get out. Well, I want you to know, you
00:07:58.780 know your favorite hotel? They're having a discount, and I worked out a special deal, and I even have
00:08:05.560 the airfare, or you know, I've already charted the course for the the trip. Do you want to want me to
00:08:12.020 pull the trigger on this? Because I've rearranged your schedule so you can do it. It knows everything and
00:08:18.540 can take care of everything. All of the things, this is, as I said to him, this is almost like the washer
00:08:27.320 dryer. When our grandparents or great-grandparents were beating stuff on the rocks, and then my
00:08:36.240 grandmother, I remember she had still in her basement one of the original washing machines
00:08:40.980 with the ringer up at the top, and it was just an open tub. That saved so much time that women didn't
00:08:51.080 have to worry about any of that. It saved them hours and hours and hours just by being able to
00:08:57.380 throw it in the washing machine. This is the kind of thing that is like refrigeration or washing
00:09:04.040 machines that will totally change your life, and he says it's coming within the next 12 months. I want
00:09:10.620 you to listen to a little bit of this. Tell me in the next year, what are the things that are coming
00:09:14.680 out that excite you and would excite the average person going, wait, what? We can, what's coming?
00:09:21.080 Yeah. The biggest one, the one that will be most tangible to all of us will be our, let's just
00:09:28.500 call it a personalized digital assistant. Just because the impact that it will have on our lives
00:09:33.760 will be so significant and so meaningful. We will feel an immediate change in how we interact with
00:09:42.800 the computer in our hand. Tell me, when you talk about these things, compare them to the impact of
00:09:50.020 the iPhone. Meaning everyone says, oh, I can't, no, I can't live without my iPhone. I mean, it's insane.
00:10:00.820 13 years ago, we all lived without an iPhone. Now you will not surrender that. So that personal
00:10:09.140 assistance compared to an iPhone, how significant is that?
00:10:13.660 I think the attachment to that will be even more significant than the smartphone.
00:10:23.440 Will you know, I'm fascinated by the idea of the loss of free will. When you have something
00:10:32.600 listening to you all the time, it is trying to make your life better, but it's also a product.
00:10:38.360 Um, and it's suggesting, it's listening to you and it's suggesting, do you, I mean, you get
00:10:48.460 to a point to where you're like, I don't know chicken and the egg. I don't know if that was
00:10:52.660 my idea or if that was somebody, you know, or some algorithms idea.
00:10:58.740 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it depends on who's behind the curtain.
00:11:01.720 Oh, right. So I haven't found in many good guys behind curtains. It's one of the first
00:11:09.060 things that, that I ask whenever I'm looking at anything is, you know, where's the monetary
00:11:14.600 incentive? Like what's the business model? So Facebook, Google, let's take them as an
00:11:20.280 example. These are advertising companies. They collect data and they sell access to the
00:11:25.740 data to generate advertising revenues. Very simple model, right?
00:11:29.760 When you see these companies talk about what they do, it's all magnanimous. They're making
00:11:35.620 incredible contributions to society. They're connecting everyone everywhere, right?
00:11:40.540 For free. For free. Yeah. We're the good guys. Um, but yeah. So if the business model of
00:11:47.280 the company that's offering the artificial intelligence is advertising, then we cannot and should not
00:11:54.100 trust what we're being told to do. Because that tells us that products are being sold through this
00:12:03.920 AI that very much feels to us is so natural, so comfortable. It's, it's so useful to us.
00:12:11.540 So it, we, I think we really came to some, uh, an understanding on what has to happen with AI
00:12:17.880 and chatbot GPT is the beginning of something that will allow you to control it, but you have to take
00:12:27.060 back all of your information and privacy. And you can, if somebody will build like a chat GPT that
00:12:34.720 I can use, that is mine. That is yours. And your information stays secure with you. Then you're in a
00:12:43.720 different world. We talked to him also a little bit about what are the things that are significant
00:12:49.480 that are happening right now that nobody's really talking about.
00:12:54.360 There was a remarkable research paper that was just published a few days ago on February 1st. It
00:12:59.880 came out of deep minds. So this is the AI group that Google acquired in 2014. They did alpha go beat all
00:13:08.220 the best human go masters. They did alpha fold, which predicted more than 200 million. How proteins
00:13:15.580 fold remarkable. The, one of the grand challenges of life sciences. And this was the computer scientist
00:13:20.780 that did this, right? They just put out a paper that has incredible real world, uh, implications.
00:13:27.660 And that is they, they combined the large language models that we've been talking about. So this body
00:13:33.420 of knowledge with something called, um, uh, reinforcement learning, which is another form
00:13:39.820 of artificial intelligence. And they gave it tasks. Now, what's interesting about this
00:13:45.580 is the large language models are these big neural networks to get massive amounts of information.
00:13:51.500 You synthesize this information, you optimize it, you gain confidence or a weight in certain outcomes,
00:13:58.940 and then it produces an output, uh, that hopefully you can, you can trust. Reinforcement learning is
00:14:05.420 actually really good at dealing with complex tasks that aren't predefined. And so you mentioned AGI a
00:14:13.020 little bit earlier. This is a critical element of AGI. So what's neat about the paper, is this,
00:14:19.580 does this, is this any part of the Boston dynamics, uh, robot where the guy says, I don't have my tools.
00:14:26.780 No, no. So that was a bit of a PR stunt, but we'll, but we'll, but we'll get there. It's still
00:14:32.380 impressive. Okay. Um, very impressive. Uh, the reinforcement learning though is, uh, has the ability
00:14:41.820 to be given a task and then figure out how to solve that task in an optimal way without any
00:14:48.860 pre-given instructions. Wow. And they prove two things. One is, is that it works. This feedback
00:14:56.620 loop, this combination of these large language models with reinforcement learning actually
00:15:01.420 produces results. The AI, the combination of these AIs can perform complex tasks.
00:15:08.220 That it had no instruction. It had no instruction on how to do. Right. Um, the second thing is
00:15:15.260 the larger the language model, the larger the foundational knowledge that it has,
00:15:22.140 the better the performance was that's becoming very cheap to train these large language models. I mean,
00:15:29.820 measured in the millions, not the hundreds of millions, uh, this paper is shown how to cross
00:15:36.060 that line between kind of the world of software and the real world that has to interact with humans.
00:15:43.900 So the chat, you know, you're still kind of in the software, right? You're still
00:15:49.420 this. If we take that technology and we put it into a robot, we give the robot intelligence
00:15:58.220 and then that robot can perform tasks that it doesn't have to be specifically trained to do.
00:16:04.460 We get into, uh, whether real, um, consciousness is going to happen in this podcast. You don't want
00:16:14.300 to miss it. It comes out tomorrow, uh, for everybody, wherever you get your podcast and
00:16:20.140 it is on blaze TV right now. You can watch it and it will be up on YouTube as well tomorrow.
00:16:25.020 The, um, the, the one thing I did, uh, ask him, I said, what is,
00:16:29.260 is there a game changing thing that's happening right now? And he said, yeah, right now. He said,
00:16:35.420 in the next 60 days, something that changes absolutely everything is happening. Uh, in fact,
00:16:44.540 there's a story in the paper about it today and most people won't even read it. They just don't.
00:16:49.820 Ah, it's game changing. I'll tell you in 60 seconds. Jody writes in, uh, with her experience
00:16:57.180 on relief factor. She says, I'm grateful to be experiencing relief from all the pain that I used
00:17:01.100 to have in my upper and middle back. I appreciate having some non-prescription, non-addictive things
00:17:06.460 that I can take. And there's no side effects except for the positive ones. Thank you so much.
00:17:13.020 Jody, thank you for writing in and giving relief factor a try. Um, what she, what she said there is,
00:17:20.060 is, um, that it's non-prescription, non-addicting. That's really when you're in really constant pain,
00:17:27.180 that's all that's really left. But I'm telling you, relief factor can change your life. Jeff,
00:17:32.620 when he sat down in an interview with me, he said, last time I saw you were in so much pain.
00:17:36.220 He said, how are you doing with that? And I said, it's gone. He's like, really? I'm like,
00:17:39.740 yeah, it's gone. And it's relief factor. Try the three week quick start 1995 trial pack.
00:17:45.980 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief factor. 70% of them go on to order more
00:17:49.980 relief factor.com. That's relief factor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF,
00:17:56.460 relief factor.com. Feel the difference. 10 seconds, station ID.
00:18:10.460 All right. So there is, um, one more piece and then Jeff's coming in, uh, because I ended the
00:18:15.620 interview with, so are you an optimist or a pessimist? Because this, this stuff that he's
00:18:20.660 talking about is game changing. Um, but I'm watching the, the chat online from YouTube and
00:18:27.820 blaze and, uh, you, you get it. You're like, Oh, really? It listens to you all the time. I don't
00:18:33.680 think so. And his answer was fascinating. And I wanted him to come on and expand on that answer
00:18:40.180 just a little bit. Uh, so he'll be on here in a second, but let me, let me share with you what
00:18:46.020 he said about something that changes everything, uh, in the next really 60 days, most likely one of
00:18:53.960 the most incredible things that will happen this year. In fact, we're weeks away. The launch
00:18:59.460 SpaceX will launch the starship. I know now are you going, I'm trying to, I'm trying to talk to
00:19:05.940 anybody to be able to get, you're a little closer, uh, but, uh, I'll be jealous if you get to go.
00:19:11.940 That's amazing. Um, yeah. First, first orbital flight of the starship now. And this is, if I'm
00:19:18.620 not mistaken, this is, is, this is slightly bigger than the Atlas five, the biggest rocket we've ever
00:19:24.240 made. It's massive. Anything, anything, anything that's ever been sent to space. It's extraordinary,
00:19:30.240 but the best part, so let's just think economics here. This is where it gets really exciting.
00:19:35.300 So before SpaceX, um, built its Falcon nine rocket, which is, you know, 62, 60, 61 launches
00:19:43.960 in 2022 sets a record. A single company does 61 launches in a single year. And we don't even talk
00:19:51.440 about it. We don't even talk about it. Remarkable transform the entire aerospace industry before
00:19:56.820 the Falcon nine came along. It used to cost roughly somewhere between 50 and $55,000
00:20:04.680 per kilogram to get payload into space, into orbit. Oh my gosh. Per kilogram. Oh my gosh. 2.2 pounds,
00:20:12.380 right? Yeah. 50 to $55,000. All right. Falcon nine comes on roughly, roughly $4,000 a kilogram
00:20:21.640 payload into space. Like 90% of the cost of getting payload into orbit, gone. One company,
00:20:29.340 one rocket. That's how transformational the Falcon nine was, but here it is. What happens with the
00:20:36.580 starship? The starship can get payload into space, into orbit for a hundred dollars a kilogram. Oh my
00:20:47.400 gosh. Yes. 97 and a half percent less cost to get payload into space. So you got it. Wow. We can do
00:20:59.580 anything now. If you need to ship up a compact nuclear fusion reactor into orbit to get it to the
00:21:06.120 moon for a man to moon, permanent presence on the moon or on Mars, you can do it with that. Starship is
00:21:15.600 the key to everything. Wow. It will transform yet again, the industry. That's how meaningful and
00:21:22.600 significant this single event is this year. So I knew it was significant. And I said to my kids,
00:21:27.580 I'm like, we are going, I don't care if we have to stay at a little hotel across the water. Cause I
00:21:33.180 watched the last, uh, space shuttle take off. And, um, and I just, I just know in my bones,
00:21:42.200 this one is game changing. This is a moment in history. It is so exciting. This is, we, we are,
00:21:51.840 we talked about energy, um, and how, uh, abundant energy is going to be soon. If we don't kill
00:22:00.680 ourselves on the way or, or have others starve us to death along the way, this is the beginning of,
00:22:09.020 of, of everything, of everything you ever thought could be. And the world's greatest freedom of mankind,
00:22:19.580 unless the man behind the curtain has different plans. Jeff Brown joins me in just a minute live
00:22:28.920 in studio to talk about that, the downside and the man behind the curtain. The Glenn Beck program.
00:22:36.780 All right. If you're a shooter, uh, I don't, I'm sure you've noticed ammo prices gone through the
00:22:42.500 roof. And every time you go to the range, it is literally, I mean, I sat there and I fire and fire
00:22:48.240 and fire fire. And I'm like, how much is this costing me? It's horrible because you have to
00:22:54.680 be good with your gun, but it's so expensive to fire your gun and you're setting money on fire.
00:23:01.340 Every time you try to get a little better, you can hire a firearms instructor on top of that. And
00:23:06.280 that's worse, but getting good with guns, which is an essential part of being, you know, protective
00:23:11.760 of your family and the freedom is quickly becoming a rich man's game. This is why the Mantis X is out.
00:23:18.700 This is high tech, easy to use system. It is widely being used by the military, used by the Marines.
00:23:23.680 Now, um, they help you improve your shooting quickly so you can dry fire or you can actually fire.
00:23:31.320 And it doesn't just show you where you're hitting. It actually analyzes what you're doing wrong.
00:23:37.940 And within 20 minutes, 94% of the shooters improve. Start improving today. Mantis X.com. That's
00:23:45.980 Mantis X.com. Also, I urge you to become a member of the blaze. We are a family and we need to stick
00:23:54.120 together. Please join us. It's about a price of a cup of coffee. Now, blaze tv.com slash Glenn.
00:24:00.640 This is the Glenn Beck program. We welcome now to the program, Jeff Brown. I'm sorry, Jeff. I thought
00:24:23.680 you were coming in. I'm glad we have you on the phone. On the phone. Uh, we were, I'm hearing, uh,
00:24:29.280 talk back a bit. Okay. So, uh, Jeff, we were, we played a bunch of the really positive stuff that's
00:24:34.520 coming our way, but I ended the interview asking you if you were a pessimist or optimist, because
00:24:40.580 this is the best of times. Um, this technology is the greatest, um, tool authoritarians have
00:24:53.740 ever had by far, and it could enslave the entire world. First, is that hyperbole? Um, and if not,
00:25:03.340 are you optimistic, uh, are you optimistic or pessimistic and why?
00:25:11.200 Well, I, I, I wish I could say it's, it's not hyperbole. Um, it's the worst case scenario is
00:25:19.280 absolutely, uh, a possibility. We can't discount that. Um, and ignoring it would be,
00:25:26.720 I think, even more dangerous for us. Um, but, but perhaps history may be a good guide,
00:25:34.040 you know, as we think back over the last 100 years, for example, you know, we've always been
00:25:40.080 faced with, uh, new technologies that were highly disruptive and could certainly be used,
00:25:45.760 um, for ill will. Uh, but so far the world society, uh, has found a way, um, to continually bring
00:25:56.320 out, uh, more and more abundance, um, for the world to lift, uh, billions of people out of, uh,
00:26:04.320 out of poverty and, um, increase the quality of life and living for the entire planet. And so we,
00:26:12.020 we have very good reasons to be optimistic about managing through this, uh, you know, next transition
00:26:20.500 in terms of employing these incredible technologies.
00:26:23.540 So I would feel like we, you know, nuclear weapons that could have killed everybody on
00:26:29.960 the planet a hundred times over and killed the planet. Um, but we didn't because there was,
00:26:35.220 we have common decency and intelligence. However, um, I don't feel like this is the 1950s where you
00:26:44.440 have to talk about it and talk about it in a rational way. You know, the threats of nuclear war
00:26:49.780 and what it means, like Eisenhower said, the military industrial complex, I see, uh, as we spoke
00:26:57.240 about yesterday, I don't see a lot of good guys that have global power, uh, and are in, in governments.
00:27:04.920 I don't see the Winston Churchill's that are like, no, no, no, wait a minute. That belongs to people.
00:27:11.420 Hmm. That, that, that, that's a dramatic difference, isn't it?
00:27:15.780 It is. I agree with that. And the, you know, perhaps another framework for us to, to consider
00:27:23.420 that is that, um, nuclear weapons, you know, they're hardware, right? They're, they're ICBMs,
00:27:32.700 they're rockets. Like we can count them. We can figure out where all of the silos are located.
00:27:37.780 We can determine how much uranium is being enriched and we can kind of, uh, assess the threat level,
00:27:45.780 uh, and how much of it is out there. But with artificial intelligence, that this is a completely
00:27:52.400 new framework. It's software. Um, it's nearly impossible to understand, um, how it's proliferating
00:28:02.500 or how it's being used, um, by bad actors. And you know, you, you have the, you have things
00:28:09.840 like the world economic forum where you've combined big tech, big business, big government,
00:28:15.320 uh, and authoritarians who are arrogant. That's, uh, it can't fall into the hands of those guys.
00:28:23.560 That's correct. Um, it is too much, um, it's too much power, uh, to be given to a small group of
00:28:36.060 people who believe that they can make decisions on behalf of all of us.
00:28:44.420 You, um, you've done a couple of things you've, you're working on, you're looking for, um, uh, people
00:28:51.300 that will, um, uh, run a company that would actually take like these chat GPT and take AI and
00:28:59.800 make it so it is personal. So it can fight against, uh, you know, the, the, um, the, the chat GPT
00:29:11.620 that's owned by Google or Apple or whoever, and it actually protects the individual. Um, is that
00:29:18.500 possible to do this? Uh, it, it, it, it absolutely is. And I think there's even a, uh, a way to do it
00:29:28.480 in a way that it does not become politically, uh, polarizing. Right. Oh, uh, you know, you and I
00:29:35.900 yesterday, we explored the idea of, of, um, let's just creating an objective, uh, uh, large language
00:29:44.060 model, um, that can be improved or enhanced desired on the learner or the individuals or the group's
00:29:51.280 particular, uh, preferences. Right. By making kind of, let's just call it a, a core engine, a core
00:29:58.580 artificial intelligence engine and, and, and productizing that and then allowing that engine
00:30:04.700 to be, uh, customized with additional inputs, uh, as determined by, again, the individual,
00:30:11.960 the learner, the group, you know, even a country perhaps could find value in that, um, so that
00:30:18.260 it's, um, contextually relevant so that it's socially relevant, culturally relevant, given
00:30:23.740 whatever the needs of those individuals or groups actually are. And that could be done,
00:30:29.420 you know, without the kind of, um, data surveillance models that are employed by the Googles and the
00:30:37.500 Facebooks of this world. When you look at the surveillance models, I, I asked you, uh, and we
00:30:42.880 never even got to this, but I asked you about whammy. I was reading about, um, what does that
00:30:47.800 stand for again? Uh, wide angle, uh, motion imagery and the way it's being, uh, used for instance, in
00:30:57.820 China is terrifying. I mean, it, there is no escape at any time from being monitored, predicted, uh,
00:31:10.200 moved, uh, you know, recorded. I mean, it is terrifying and whammy is starting to spread over
00:31:18.160 the globe. Is it not? We, we have whammy.
00:31:20.820 It's it is. Well, you know, the, uh, the, the, the most prominent country historically has been
00:31:28.560 the UK, right? Right. In terms of the, the number of cameras and video surveillance of a population,
00:31:36.380 it's really quite extraordinary what's happened, uh, in the UK. Uh, but you're absolutely right.
00:31:43.520 Obviously the, the, um, the geography of, uh, China is much greater, so it's a harder problem to solve,
00:31:50.340 but it's just infrastructure. Uh, and it's not just what's become more interesting. We talked about
00:31:56.960 how the aerospace industry, um, has really been transformed by SpaceX lowering the cost of
00:32:04.400 launching kilograms to orbit by more than 90%. Um, that's resulted in a proliferation of companies
00:32:13.740 that launch, um, basically, um, basically CubeSats or small satellites that are used for imagery from
00:32:21.620 space. So this is, think about this as almost a compliment or a supplement to cameras and video
00:32:28.760 surveillance on the ground. These data sets, these video inputs are literally ingested into machine
00:32:37.500 learning and forms of artificial intelligence to determine whether something is or isn't wrong,
00:32:45.180 um, as, as, uh, defined or programmed by, uh, whoever the overlords are that, uh, feel that they need to
00:32:53.380 monitor their, uh, entire, uh, population. So yes, this, the, you know, what technology can do,
00:32:59.500 the problem previously wasn't the video cameras. It was how to analyze and ingest and provide actionable
00:33:05.980 intelligence from all of the video humans can't possibly do that. It has to be automated. And
00:33:11.900 the way it's automated is through machine learning and artificial intelligence. Um, I wanted to talk
00:33:16.780 to you. We've got about three minutes left. Um, I want to talk to you about project perceptron.
00:33:21.260 This is a system that you and your team have built and it, it, uh, revolves around cryptocurrency.
00:33:28.380 Can you explain what's coming in about 60 days?
00:33:32.300 Um, well, or no way what's coming. I mean, it, it, it is launched, but it's not,
00:33:38.940 is it operable now? Uh, yes, I've been running. Um, I, I, I built my own artificial intelligence,
00:33:46.620 a deep neural network. Um, and we took a very, uh, kind of obscure data set, which is
00:33:53.260 cryptocurrencies, digital assets. And we built it in a way where it's able to predict price movements.
00:33:59.100 Um, so it predicts assets with that will, uh, rise in price, uh, within a specific time horizon
00:34:05.420 within 60 days. It's been an amazing project. It was an interesting way to apply artificial
00:34:10.860 intelligence to, uh, the investment markets. And, um, I've actually been developing that even further
00:34:17.500 to identify, uh, price movements in, uh, equities or stocks, uh, which is something that, um, uh,
00:34:24.940 I'll be, uh, actually doing within the next, uh, 30 or 60 days that I'm, uh, very exciting about,
00:34:30.860 excited about it. It's incredible technology because it can ingest an unbelievable amount
00:34:37.660 of information and synthesize it and then be highly predictive in terms of, uh, in terms of price
00:34:44.780 direction. And how has it worked out with the cryptocurrency? Well, last year, um, 84%
00:34:51.100 of its recommendations were profitable. So in the world of, in the world of trading,
00:34:55.740 those types of numbers are, uh, pretty incredible. And how, what is your feeling on cryptocurrency?
00:35:02.300 It's, it's life, uh, with, you know, Britain just last week, or was it this week saying that they
00:35:08.700 are launching their own, you know, uh, bank of England, central bank cryptocurrency,
00:35:14.940 and we're right behind them. We are, I, I, we've been in a very antagonistic, um, policy environment
00:35:24.220 for digital assets of all kinds. Um, and I believe that that's been done on purpose. I believe that
00:35:31.260 the U S government has been holding the whole industry back, at least in the United States,
00:35:37.180 because they want to carve out their role in this space, specifically the U S dollar,
00:35:44.540 central bank back digital currency and E dollar, whatever we, we call it. Uh, and I think we're
00:35:49.980 in for a very big surprise, uh, in the, in the coming months. Um, the federal reserve bank of Boston,
00:35:56.060 uh, had collaborated with MIT last year and finished a major project project,
00:36:01.340 Hamilton. I'm sure, you know, uh, and that work was just wrapped up. And I believe that
00:36:07.500 they are gearing up for the launch of this digital currency, um, digital wallets for all, uh, uh,
00:36:14.620 all Americans. And once that happens, once, once they've defined exactly what role they're going to
00:36:20.460 play, then I think the regulatory environment will open up for the entire blockchain industry. And
00:36:25.820 for other digital assets, um, they, they were threatened by stable coins in particular.
00:36:32.860 Uh, and once they've, once they've settled that, uh, and settled their role, then, um,
00:36:37.580 I'm actually optimistic and bullish about the industry moving forward. Once that happens.
00:36:42.540 Really? You don't think they're going to try to trap all of us? Because I mean,
00:36:46.140 once they have control, digital control of every dollar that is ever traded, they have complete control
00:36:53.820 of people. The risk, the risk given, you know, whatever the prevailing political narrative is,
00:37:00.300 is this, you know, social credit system, uh, similar to what's being employed in China. That's,
00:37:06.540 that's my biggest fear. Um, because the digital wallet can, can very quickly turn into
00:37:13.820 a means of control, uh, of your money and your life and, uh, and your actions and your behaviors.
00:37:20.300 Jeff, could you hold on the phone? Look, could it, could I just,
00:37:22.460 I, cause I want to ask you about the battery passport. Um, and we never got to it. Can you
00:37:28.300 hold for a couple of minutes and, and just maybe spend two minutes with me on explaining that in
00:37:32.140 a minute? Sure. Yeah. Okay. Let me take a quick break. Um, portions of the program sponsored by
00:37:37.580 pre-born. Well, pre-born, um, thinking about hearts, the heartbeat is the reason why so many babies are
00:37:47.260 born. Um, his or her heart will beat 54 million times before a baby is born. Happy Valentine's Day,
00:37:57.660 over 200,000 babies that pre-born pregnancy network has rescued so far. Their sweet heartbeats,
00:38:06.140 uh, are, are all made possible by your generosity. Here's what happens. Pre-born has the centers and
00:38:12.700 they're all in the real abortion, uh, states where it's really, really bad. They keep them
00:38:18.780 close to Planned Parenthood and they, they offer women who are coming in and thinking about having
00:38:24.700 an abortion, just a physical checkup. Let's just see the baby. And they say, I'm coming in. I want
00:38:29.820 to have an abortion. These centers don't provide abortions, but they do do all of the health and
00:38:34.940 everything else. And they give them an ultrasound. It costs $28 for an ultrasound. They give them to these
00:38:39.980 women for free. When they hear the heartbeat and they see the baby, they're twice as likely to say,
00:38:47.020 I want to keep the baby. It's a way for, it's a window to the womb. If you will share heartbeats,
00:38:54.860 will you this Valentine's day, just dial pound two 50, say the keyword baby. It's pound two 50 keyword
00:39:01.820 baby, or go to preborn.com slash Beck. That's preborn.com slash Beck. This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:39:09.980 We're talking to, uh, futurist scientists. Uh, I mean, just a tech guru, uh, Jeff Brown about,
00:39:39.980 uh, the future and what's coming, uh, digitally. The world economic forum is pushing something called
00:39:45.340 battery passports. And can you explain them and why they might be a problem? We have about
00:39:51.900 a minute and a half, two minutes. Okay. Um, you know, this is, uh, this is an odd,
00:40:00.460 an odd initiative. Um, you know, the idea is that there is essentially, uh, this body, this organization
00:40:09.420 that facilitates the installation of, uh, a small module into every electric vehicle that can independently
00:40:18.860 monitor, um, um, the battery usage, um, how it's used, um, how the car is driven, uh, obviously,
00:40:28.780 environmental, uh, data that comes in and, um, you know, how the battery is charging and discharging
00:40:35.500 and aging. And why would they want this information? Uh, it's, it's odd. I think at the surface, they
00:40:43.420 talk about, uh, things like transparency and sustainability and tracking the lifestyle of
00:40:52.140 batteries before they are repurposed for other things. But you know, it's an odd, odd initiative
00:41:00.300 because typically the realm of the manufacturer and everyone that has an EV, they already have this
00:41:07.820 information available to them. It seems Jeff, uh, the word passport seems to, uh, seems to be a kind
00:41:16.620 of an, an interesting, uh, little possible tell. Jeff, we're out of time. Thank you so much.
00:41:22.460 Brownstone research founder, chief investment analyst. You can find him at brownstoneresearch.com
00:41:29.100 brownstoneresearch.com. His name is Jeff Brown. The Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:46.620 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment
00:42:15.180 and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:42:24.780 I think one of the best secretaries of state we have had in, in modern history, um, is Mike Pompeo.
00:42:33.020 The things that he and Donald Trump accomplished on the world stage, especially with every gun and
00:42:40.620 ensure of an intelligence agency, every global leader and every dictator wanting to stop them
00:42:49.340 and shut them down. What they accomplished is mind boggling, mind boggling. Even if they were friends
00:42:59.100 with everybody, Mike Pompeo, he was the former CIA director. He wrote a book and it is wildly frank. I
00:43:06.060 think it is the most open and frank book of any of these kinds of books of people that have served
00:43:11.100 in past administrations, uh, that I've seen. He's just not afraid. Um, the, uh, the book is called
00:43:17.500 never given inch. And Mike Pompeo joins us in 60 seconds. Doesn't happen very often, but once in a
00:43:24.780 while, something good gets even better. And, uh, let me tell you about the new my pillow 2.0.

00:44:18.140 Mike Pompeo, Mike, how are you, sir? Glenn, I'm great. How are you today? I'm really good. I've been
00:44:24.380 looking forward to this. I hope we find time to sit down for a, uh, a longer podcast because
00:44:29.500 I promise you I'll do it. Okay, good. Um, I I've got so many things for you, but I want to start with
00:44:34.860 something that is in your book that I absolutely love. When you, when you met, uh, Kim Jong-un, uh,
00:44:43.820 in North Korea, uh, the meeting began with Kim saying what to you? It was really quite something,
00:44:52.700 uh, Easter weekend, 2018, clandest admission, uh, dark night flew in, uh, met with chairman,
00:44:58.700 Kim. I had one colleague with me from the CIA. And the first thing he says to me, I walk in,
00:45:03.660 there's lots of theater, uh, and we walk in and he says, Mr. Director, I was the CIA director at the
00:45:09.500 time. He said, Mr. Director, I did not think that you would come since you've been trying to kill me.
00:45:12.940 Obviously through a trance, obviously through a translator. And I remember Glenn, you'll
00:45:18.220 appreciate this. I prepared for this. We'd studied what, what might he say? This was not on the bingo
00:45:23.420 cart. And so I, I remember I hear the translator. I paused for just a second and I thought, well,
00:45:32.300 that's pretty tough. And I said, uh, I said, Mr. Chairman, you should know I still am trying to kill
00:45:37.340 you. My colleague, my colleague smiled and he came great guy smiled. And, uh, and then the
00:45:44.300 translation hits him and he laughed too, which was a very hard thing to me. Yeah. That's a,
00:45:48.620 that's kind of a, that's good when you're standing with a dictator who kills people
00:45:52.540 and he's on his turf. He knew it was tongue in cheek a little in the same way that his barb at me
00:45:57.740 was, but I think it also set the course for the relationship that we built right over the coming
00:46:02.700 years. Um, how would you describe the American deep state? Um, and, and did you see it in action
00:46:11.180 and, and what is it exactly? Oh, Glenn, it's a, yes, I saw it. It is real. Uh, you, one can describe
00:46:20.380 it as the deep state or the resistance. Here's what it really, here's how I came to experience it,
00:46:24.740 uh, really at the state department, to be honest with you. Um, it is a, it is a left of center,
00:46:31.580 left of left, perhaps left of center bureaucracy that is deeply of Washington DC, deeply establishment.
00:46:38.940 And so when you have someone like president Trump or me who says those didn't work, we're
00:46:43.740 going to try it a different way. We're going to take a little more risk. We're going to,
00:46:46.780 we're going to defend America first. Oh my gosh, Glenn, it was a mess. They resisted what we did.
00:46:52.540 They undermined, they would leak memos. I saw memos in the press before they got to my desk,
00:46:57.660 Glenn, so many times. Um, and this is problematic, uh, not because of me. It's problematic because
00:47:03.900 that's not what the constitution requires. That are our founders thought about America.
00:47:07.740 And so the next president, it's going to take, it's a, it's a, it's a boatload of work. It's
00:47:12.220 going to take a while, but this could be fixed. How can a president come in, be elected? Because I,
00:47:18.220 I'm concerned. I, I agree with term limits, but term limits also for people who are serving
00:47:24.140 in Washington, DC and all jobs, all levels. Um, how do you, how can you clean this up without
00:47:31.820 shutting it down? And, you know, did you unplug it and plug it back in? That's pretty much what we
00:47:37.820 have to do. No, that's a great, that's a great analogy. Yes. Unplug it. So you gotta, you gotta
00:47:43.420 break it down. Uh, and by the way, not just the state department, uh, good parts of the justice
00:47:47.900 department, most of specialist civil rights division, uh, the entire department of education,
00:47:52.300 these places are lost. And so, yes, the next president, uh, there's two things I'd say.
00:47:57.340 First, you got to get your team on the field. One of the things we did not do is we were two
00:48:01.500 years into the administration and we still had Obama people occupying political positions.
00:48:06.140 You just, that's just a failure. And we got to get good at that. The conservative movement
00:48:10.860 has to get good. Just like we have to collect and harvest ballots. We've got to get good at being
00:48:15.180 fearless about terminating the bad guys and promoting the good guys. And then second,
00:48:20.220 big, deep structural reforms inside these, and it'll cost political capital. Glenn,
00:48:25.740 I can see why a president would not do that. You got a million things, but this is a lasting change
00:48:30.460 that one can make about how you do hiring, how you get rid of DEI programs, how you,
00:48:35.500 we had three unions at the state department. Glenn, nobody even knows this, right? Every one of my
00:48:39.580 career employees was covered by a collective bargaining agreement. You can't promote merit.
00:48:43.500 You can't fire those who aren't on the team. This is a calamity and it, but it is fixable.
00:48:47.980 You put a good team in, you put good cabinet members in, they hire the right folks. You can
00:48:51.740 clean it up. It will take years, I'll be honest, because you have to get the feed stuck, right?
00:48:55.100 The talent that comes in has to be American patriotic, not about being part of the Washington
00:49:00.940 establishment, but it is doable with serious and thoughtful effort. I'm sure you know that I'm,
00:49:05.980 I'm one of the chief conspiracy theorists on the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset.
00:49:11.500 Um, uh, uh, do we have a lot of time? I mean, it is very concerning with tech and the way it seems
00:49:21.260 the entire West is, is throwing in their lot with, uh, a very, very authoritarian style, uh, plan.
00:49:34.300 I'm very concerned about it. Uh, time is short, not hours, days, weeks, months, but we are,
00:49:42.620 we are on the precipice of heading down the direction. Glenn, you know, this, it starts in
00:49:47.260 the schools, teach kids garbage, teach kids crap. If parents don't know what's going on there,
00:49:51.660 the next generation doesn't understand the logic reason, the things that right, the things that we
00:49:56.460 know prevent us from being in a liberal, small liberal society that has made America such an
00:50:02.620 exceptional civilizational hero, uh, we got to get it right. It's, um, it is a collective. It is
00:50:08.700 in all of our big institutions. I'm very worried. I was a soldier long time ago. Now I'm worried
00:50:13.340 about our military headed down that same path of forgetting what its mission is. It is, that is
00:50:19.420 an institution that is central to the culturally and from a security perspective. And when we get
00:50:24.780 these things wrong, Glenn, hard to get back from. We're talking to Mike Pompeo. He has a book out
00:50:31.020 that is extraordinarily frank and great. It's called never given inch. Uh, he's the former CIA
00:50:37.340 director and former U S secretary of state. Um, let me, let me ask you a couple of questions here.
00:50:43.580 Uh, first of all, uh, Ukraine, uh, I mean, I've done enough research on Ukraine and the Biden
00:50:52.380 administration and the, and the Obama administration that is deeply corrupt. Um, I, I, I don't mind,
00:51:00.140 you know, aiding and praying for, and even helping privately, you know, uh, people who want to be
00:51:06.380 free. But, uh, I'm very concerned where we're going on this. Cause it, it, it appears to me,
00:51:12.940 everybody who is in charge is like, yeah, let's go, let's go. We're going to war. Do you agree with
00:51:18.980 tanks being sent over and offensive weaponry? Glenn, I actually do, but not for, not for the reason that
00:51:27.960 some have articulated your, your, your predicate there is exactly spot on. And I talk about this
00:51:31.960 a little in the book and you're right. It's a pretty wide open document. It's got, you know,
00:51:37.480 me long enough, Glenn. I just, this is how I think about something that I, not for the reasons often
00:51:41.840 articulated. Ukraine's got huge corruption problems, but my concern is about the American
00:51:46.980 people. We lost deterrence, right? You know, Vladimir Putin didn't invade Europe on our watch.
00:51:52.800 He took a fifth of Ukraine under Obama. He went at it again. As soon as we left under Biden,
00:51:57.700 we, we cannot, we cannot allow him to continue to roam about Europe. Really. It's the innocent
00:52:02.640 civilian lives are tragic, but there's an American interest there. It's not, but then I think we can
00:52:07.900 do this. He hasn't asked for our kids yet. We shouldn't send our young men and women. He didn't
00:52:11.140 want the 82nd airport. Just asking us to provide him with tools and capabilities. And that's the quickest
00:52:16.540 way to bring this to a conclusion. And the quicker concludes the less likelihood that Putin does
00:52:21.140 something really dumb that draws the whole world into this damn thing, which is a real danger.
00:52:26.100 And, you know, I spent a fair amount of time with Vladimir Putin. I'm, I'm more concerned about it
00:52:30.660 than others. I think he is not going to go quietly into the night. So if we can get the Ukrainians
00:52:35.240 what they need, they're prepared to have their own kids fight and die. That's something that matters
00:52:39.800 to every American. And we ought to try and get it right there. So, uh, I, um, Mike Lee spent a lot
00:52:45.460 of time yesterday, uh, looking at the Seymour Hersh, uh, article and trying to track down,
00:52:50.200 he's coming on the air in about an hour to tell me what he, what he found. He said, uh, initially
00:52:55.340 he was disturbed because he didn't believe it, but he also kind of did. I mean, he, he didn't,
00:53:02.520 he was, he said, and I hate to put words in his mouth, but he was like, these are the kinds
00:53:08.260 of things that now we do need to actually seriously question because these kinds of things could
00:53:15.360 happen. Um, but he didn't think it was true as former CIA director, the Nord Stream pipeline.
00:53:24.360 Do you think we had anything to do with that at all?
00:53:28.620 Well, let me, let me begin. I don't know. I don't have access to that kind of information
00:53:32.600 any longer. But see, that's what Mike was saying. He did. He was disturbed that he didn't know.
00:53:38.260 He's a United States Senator, right? He should have access to that. I'm glad he's going to go,
00:53:42.680 go suss it out and figure out what happened there. I'll say this, uh, Joe Biden wouldn't
00:53:47.340 shoot down a balloon over Montana. The chance he would blow up a pipeline that belonged to the
00:53:52.360 Germans seems low to me. It seems out of, it seems out of character, but, but goodness,
00:54:00.500 we should figure it out. Look, I think it's, I think it's more likely than not that the Russians
00:54:04.640 actually did this. I've read the piece. There are a couple of comments, uh, from Victoria Newland,
00:54:09.060 who works state department, uh, who worked at the state department and from the president himself,
00:54:13.700 they're kind of odd statements. So we should go figure it out. But my, my sense is if I was,
00:54:19.420 if you maybe take my own money, I think this was a Russian operation aimed at, uh, denying energy to
00:54:25.140 what they thought would be a cold winter in Europe that just hasn't panned out.
00:54:27.800 And the spy, uh, Chinese spy balloon. I mean, we spent a million dollars on a rocket to shoot
00:54:33.980 it down with a, you know, $40 million plane. And, and then whether they say, and they're saying,
00:54:39.540 oh yeah, well, it was not a risk. Well, then why we shoot it down? What, I mean, uh, what is this?
00:54:45.060 They've dissembled since the beginning. Uh, this was a spy operation by the Chinese communist party.
00:54:50.500 They were clearly collecting at least imagery pictures, probably, uh, signals to trying to
00:54:56.220 listen to what was going on. And they were also testing our air defenses. And finally,
00:55:00.820 they're testing president Biden, uh, to see what he would do. And, you know, I, someone asked me
00:55:05.420 yesterday, would, would this have flown over America that way for five days under the Trump
00:55:08.980 administration? And I said, yes, that I would have been the former secretary of state very quickly.
00:55:15.780 So, uh, so, uh, and it was funny, Glenn, you remember they came out and first said, oh,
00:55:19.600 this happened under Trump. And we all came out and said, no, it didn't, you know, I, I guess we were
00:55:24.020 all just smoking dope, right? Uh, come on. And the truth of the matter is that we know
00:55:28.960 they lied. Uh, no one knew about this before this was, this was, uh, this was a blunder
00:55:33.680 on their watch. Not so much about the collection. Okay. That's some risk, but Xi Jinping now
00:55:38.760 is confident that he can push this president around. And that's, you know, that deterrence
00:55:42.920 model that we had, Glenn, that was so important to the American people. When you lose that, you
00:55:47.220 just, you, you create space. The, uh, what's the old Southwest airlines line, uh, feel free
00:55:52.660 to move about the cabin, right? I think the bad guys are feeling pretty damn free to move
00:55:56.880 about the cabin. And if you live in Arizona or Tennessee or Montana, that creates an awful
00:56:01.880 lot more risk to your kids and grandkids. Uh, is China the risk? I think it is. And, um,
00:56:09.640 is it, uh, how much of a role does the business dealings of the Biden administration or Biden
00:56:15.880 and his family have to do with giving China a pass on so much?
00:56:23.100 Boy, I don't know if that's the motivation for their failure to confront this greatest
00:56:27.880 threat to the United States, the Chinese communist party. It could be, we should get to the bottom
00:56:31.820 of everything that's on that laptop and figure out where the leverage might be from the Chinese
00:56:36.460 communist party. I'm not just, not just president Biden, but lots of folks in his administration
00:56:41.060 were doing lots of business in China before they came into office. I mean, Mitch McConnell is a big
00:56:46.460 one too. Mitch McConnell, totally not partisan. Get this right for America. This isn't about
00:56:53.420 these and ours, or, you know, putting on the yellow helmet or the blue helmet. This is, this is
00:56:57.840 protecting the United States. And they're inside our institutions all across America. I know they
00:57:02.780 are. It's at our universities. I've had a massive spy operation being run out of the console in Houston,
00:57:07.760 Texas and I shut down and we just, we'd let it go on for years. When, if we get a chance to do the
00:57:12.580 podcast, I'd love to spend more time because my fear from the Chinese communist party, isn't about
00:57:17.280 something that might happen in Taiwan or Japan or Vietnam. It's what's happening inside the gates
00:57:22.480 here. And every American should be aware of it and we should protect ourselves and we can,
00:57:27.800 and we can be successful. And I believe we will. I see no evidence this president's prepared to do
00:57:32.340 that. Well, Mike, I appreciate your time and we will all in my office reach out to yours today
00:57:37.540 and let's book some, some time on a podcast because we'll make it happen. A lot of information. Thank
00:57:43.960 you so much. God bless you, sir. You bet. Former secretary of state and former CIA director
00:57:49.740 and author of the book, never given inch Mike Pompeo back in a minute. Debra wrote in about her
00:57:55.820 experience with relief factor. She says, my wonderful husband ordered relief factor for me when I wasn't
00:58:01.480 when I was feeling pretty bad. Uh, I have, uh, rheumatoid arthritis and relief factor has helped
00:58:08.540 me tremendously. I noticed around the second week, uh, of taking it, that things were beginning to get
00:58:14.740 better. And I have to admit, I was skeptical, but now I swear by it. Thanks and all the best,
00:58:20.680 Debra. Debra, thank you. Thank you. If, if you are in this situation or somebody you love is in this
00:58:26.200 situation, please just convince them to try it for three weeks. It may not work.
00:58:30.860 Uh, but 70% of the people who take it go on to order more. They find themselves just like Debra
00:58:36.280 and just like me, skeptical me. I'm not, I was more than skeptical. It's not going to work. And
00:58:42.080 I'm telling you to change my life. And obviously it's changing Debra's life as well. Relieffactor.com
00:58:47.740 get the three week quick start relief factor.com, or you can call 800, the number four relief,
00:58:55.660 800, the number four relief, relief factor.com feel the difference. 10 seconds. Station ID.
00:59:01.900 We have, uh, uh, Jason Buttrill, uh, with us and, uh, he has been, uh, following, uh, all the things
00:59:21.940 that are going on, uh, former intelligence, uh, military intelligence and, and head writer and
00:59:27.740 researcher of the Glenn Beck program. What'd you think of Pompeo's answers here?
00:59:32.140 He's so candid about everything. I like how it is. I really like him. I do too. It's like,
00:59:36.260 nothing is out of bounds. Uh, I, I heard something, maybe I'm, I'm just overanalyzing when he was
00:59:41.000 talking about the Chinese spy balloon and he eventually, he, the last couple of things he
00:59:44.880 said that were really important is gauging reaction. You know, that's what the Chinese were
00:59:48.140 doing to Biden. I think that's straight a hundred percent dead on. Oh, I, I, I, that's what I
00:59:53.380 said. What intelligence are they in gathering intelligence? I said, yeah, the most important
00:59:57.640 intelligence they're gathering is can we penetrate their airspace and have them not do anything
01:00:04.640 about it? Exactly. Right. And also it's a nation of faith, you know, saving face, you know, honor.
01:00:09.220 Um, this made Biden look stupid. It really did. And this thing now I'm, I'm, I'm looking up on the
01:00:13.920 TV and it was talking about how, you know, there was antenna on there for signals intelligence.
01:00:18.320 And I guarantee you the NSA is cracking up right now. Uh, do we really think China needs a
01:00:23.160 hot air balloon, 1700s technology to put a radio antenna to gather signals intelligence?
01:00:29.120 I mean, right now there's an NSA analyst at Fort Meade who's currently deciding whether he's going
01:00:33.780 to listen to the cell phone of somebody in Iraq or his girlfriend's cell phone to see if she's,
01:00:40.660 you know, running around behind his back, which he suspects he's cracking up. What is, what should
01:00:44.160 I do with my work time? He doesn't need a hot air balloon to have that capability. He has the
01:00:48.300 capability to do both. And so when he said, and you hear this too, when he said, um, you know,
01:00:55.720 they were, they were listening in on communications, what the way it was posed was they were, they were
01:01:01.320 listening in, uh, on, uh, on all kinds of communications, uh, and cell phones and what
01:01:06.640 people were saying on the ground. That's ridiculous. Yeah. Right. No. Well, yeah. I mean,
01:01:11.500 you can't do that. You know, if you, why would you, why would you, when you have the better
01:01:16.040 capability to do it, you know, in another way? I mean, it's just ridiculous. I have, when they
01:01:21.240 finally dig up this wreckage, I have, I have to suspect that they're not going to dig up the
01:01:25.220 wreckage. Even if they did, it'd be like pictures of Xi Jinping, you know, like give them the bird
01:01:29.800 or something like that. There's no way they're down with scuba gear, you know, looking. Why? What,
01:01:37.340 what are you looking for? The missile hit the little metal box. I mean, if that box wasn't
01:01:45.140 obliterated with a million dollar missile, then I, I, I have a feeling we, we've been ripped off with
01:01:53.140 our missiles. Uh, good heavens. They're down under sea now looking for sifting through the sands to see
01:02:00.560 if they can find any. Yeah. Yeah. They're going to find a big reel to reel tape recorder.
01:02:07.340 Uh, they're unbelievable. Thank you so much, um, Jason. You bet. Um, we have, uh, we have so much
01:02:14.820 to cover yet. I, I, next hour, I'm going to tell you the story about what is going on with the, um,
01:02:22.240 with the FBI and Catholics. There was some stuff released yesterday from the FBI memos, uh,
01:02:33.240 violating the civil rights of Catholics like crazy and calling them terrorists. Uh, I'll show you and
01:02:42.820 read the memo to you, but there is a weaponization that we all know, but it has got to stop.
01:02:51.840 And we talked to Mike Lee in just a minute. Stand by.
01:03:09.040 The Glenn Beck program. All right. Rough greens. I want you to meet naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.
01:03:16.160 A few years ago, uh, he came in and he was talking about rough greens and he was not an
01:03:22.700 advertiser at the time. And I said, well, I, I don't use any products or advertise any products
01:03:27.480 that I don't use and believe in. And he said, well, let me send you a couple of bags. And I said,
01:03:31.880 he said, you know, how's your dog? And I said, he just doesn't eat. If you could just get him to eat,
01:03:36.840 it's worth the price of admission. And he said, not only will he eat, he will, you'll see changes,
01:03:42.880 healthy changes over the next year. So with, with your dog. Well, I started feeding uno and
01:03:48.080 the first time I put his food down, he gobbled the food. And generally speaking, he still does.
01:03:56.120 I mean, maybe once every two weeks, he looks at it and like, yeah, but you guys are going away and

01:04:37.440 I want to bring on a Louisiana attorney general who has made an awful lot of difference and is one of
01:05:01.420 these attorney generals that are in there fighting. Um, he's also running for, uh, governor of Louisiana.
01:05:08.740 He is currently in the, um, in the lead of the favorite. Um, and I mean, it would be, I think
01:05:15.660 another, uh, run, uh, DeSantis kind of, uh, uh, governor, hopefully, uh, because Jeff is a very strong
01:05:24.260 attorney general. Hi Jeff. How are you?
01:05:26.420 Ken great, great, great to be with you and all you listening out there really appreciate it. And
01:05:32.640 yeah, you're right. You know, there's only three States in play this year, uh, which I think is a
01:05:38.140 big year, you know, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Kentucky, both Kentucky and Louisiana have Democrat
01:05:43.940 governors. And so, uh, here in Louisiana, we try to do our part to, to put the governorship back in a
01:05:49.480 conservative sense. Right. Um, you just released some, uh, you released something, uh, this week
01:05:57.240 on protecting kids from the, uh, libraries, uh, from the explicit books in the libraries. Can you tell
01:06:05.820 me, uh, about this and, and, uh, how it's going?
01:06:11.080 Yeah, look, we want to make sure that our libraries, uh, uh, still the place that, that, that the libraries
01:06:17.140 that me and you grew up in, right. Uh, the place where our moms and dads could drop us off and,
01:06:22.440 and we could go around the library, find books of interest and, and, and, and start to really
01:06:27.620 expand our minds. You know, it's where kids really start to enjoy and see who they are.
01:06:32.640 And what happened was about six months ago, we started getting calls from parents
01:06:36.840 who were finding books in libraries that were very offensive. Uh, a lot of, you know, I mean,
01:06:42.780 quite frankly, it almost looked like you, uh, uh, it was like a book on pornography and,
01:06:47.900 and, and, and we got concerned. And so we launched an investigation. Um, you know,
01:06:52.720 we run an internet crimes against children task force at the attorney general's office. So we see
01:06:57.680 a lot, a lot of bad things and crimes against children. And so we launched this investigation.
01:07:02.980 We opened up a hotline so parents could call and tell us what they were finding. We went,
01:07:07.600 we found some of these books. We, um, and we compiled a report and then we released that
01:07:14.780 report this week. You can go on our website at agjeffandry.com. That's our official website.
01:07:21.980 And, and if you are 18 years or older, and that's how, that's how offensive I believe what
01:07:28.120 we found on the shelves was, was that I wouldn't even let this report be read or accessed by anyone
01:07:34.080 that's not, that's under 18. Um, and this report lays it out why, you know, what we found. And if
01:07:41.960 there are parents out there that believe that children should not be exposed, should not have
01:07:47.040 unfettered access to these types of books, then this is the way under which they can go about
01:07:53.520 ensuring that their library in their community, um, uh, protects their kids. Uh, and, and then look,
01:08:00.860 we seeing this all over. And, and quite frankly, I think it's like a desensitization of children.
01:08:07.440 We're trying to expose children to more and more, um, adult content. Uh, and, and, and quite frankly,
01:08:14.300 I think it's harmful. I really do. Uh, but, but again, our report gives parents the power to be able
01:08:21.540 to change that policy at their libraries. And that's what we did. So can you tell me, um, um,
01:08:27.000 how do you defend against people say you're book burning? This is you, we don't ban books in
01:08:33.000 America. Yeah. Well, anyone who tells me that I tell him you go read that report and then call me
01:08:39.400 back. Uh, because, because we took a look, the people who compiled that report, we've got some
01:08:44.900 great people that work at the Louisiana department of justice, very smart lawyers, mothers, parents,
01:08:52.180 fathers, uh, who helped us compile this report. And this report has nothing to do with censoring
01:08:58.280 or banning books. This is all about content. I mean, look, think about this friend, my Netflix
01:09:05.400 account gives me an opportunity to put a setting on it so that a young child can get on my Netflix
01:09:12.420 account and watch anything. Right. And me and you, when me and you were growing up, uh, we went to
01:09:18.740 the cinema. If we were under what? 17, 18, you couldn't get in an R rated movie. Okay. I mean,
01:09:26.160 like these people that make all these accusations, they just crazy. I mean, they really are. I mean,
01:09:32.700 all they're out there to do is just, you know, it's, it's all gaslighting. You go, Glenn, anyone
01:09:38.380 who says that I encourage adults out there to look at the things that we found in the library and then
01:09:43.900 ask yourself, do you want a five-year-old, a 10-year-old or a 12-year-old walking in a library
01:09:49.100 and pull in that book and seeing the graphics? Yeah. And they're clearly made for kids. They're
01:09:57.880 graphic novels. Um, and just, just go to agjefflandry.com and up at the top, it says
01:10:05.340 protecting innocence. Click on that link and, uh, you'll see the full report and then model
01:10:11.360 legislation as well. So other States can, uh, enact, uh, some legislation like this as well.
01:10:18.340 Um, Jeff, tell me what you're doing about the, um, uh, the, the ATF and coming after, um, uh, pistol braces.
01:10:31.880 Yeah. Let me tell you, Glenn, there is no one who appreciates the second amendment more than me.
01:10:39.760 In fact, I tell people it's the second amendment that guards the first amendment. It is right. And,
01:10:45.800 and, and there's no one out there, uh, through our solicitor general's office in Louisiana. And
01:10:51.240 look, we got some great Republican AGs around the whole country, uh, that, that continue to defend,
01:10:57.520 uh, the second amendment. We're going to go in there and we're going to challenge ATF
01:11:01.100 is what we're going to do. I mean, we've seen, and look, we're good at it. Uh, for, for listeners out
01:11:06.220 that you want to check us out, Louisiana is number one in the number of lawsuits against the Biden
01:11:11.260 administration and winning. Uh, and we don't do it by ourselves. We're joined by great states like
01:11:16.100 Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Florida. Um, the list goes on and on Mississippi. Uh, and, and we're just
01:11:24.400 going to take them to task. And that is the only thing we can do until Congress actually starts
01:11:29.180 becoming functional. So do you believe Jeff and I've, I've asked, uh, you know, our Texas attorney
01:11:35.240 general, the same question, do you believe you'll get action? Because people are going to be named
01:11:41.100 felons, uh, in what it's about 90 days now from, from now. Uh, and if you don't do exactly what they
01:11:50.880 said, and so people who own guns that are now, you know, under restriction, uh, because they just
01:11:58.520 with a stroke of a pen changed the definition, you, you could go to prison for 20 years.
01:12:06.360 When, when, when will the gun owner know, okay, you're safe. Don't worry.
01:12:13.060 Well, we're hoping to get an injunction on that. Ken Paxson's a great attorney general in Texas.
01:12:17.940 Uh, we work with his, his office. He's kind of like, you know, Texas is kind of like the 800 pound
01:12:22.620 gorilla in the Republican attorney general world. Um, look, we'll know if, if we can get the judge
01:12:29.920 to grant us an injunction against it. Um, you know, and, and, and so, so hopefully, um, we'll
01:12:36.560 get a ruling on, on, on, on the case and, uh, and the judge and then will say, no, no, no, no, no,
01:12:42.000 you can't, you can't charge a moment of felon on this. This is stepping out a little bit.
01:12:46.380 Look, we've seen, we've seen some great actions by Republican attorney generals, uh, over the last
01:12:52.580 12, 15 years, uh, taking on the federal government, protecting people's liberties.
01:13:00.080 Look, I can tell you that it's one of the reasons I really enjoy my job. I love being
01:13:04.540 the attorney general. Um, you know, I spent a term in Congress back in 2010, right? You remember those
01:13:10.920 days, the first big revolution to warn everybody what was coming. And, um, and, and, and, and what
01:13:19.860 I've realized is that right now, unfortunately, policymaking is being made in the courts. I don't
01:13:24.620 like it. It's dysfunctional. Um, but, but that's why you got attorney general. So we're hoping we can
01:13:30.380 get a federal judge to take a look at this greatness of the junction. And then, uh, and then so
01:13:35.060 gun owners out there and those that, that are enjoying their second amendment can go about, um,
01:13:40.920 you know, their business. Um, Jeff, you're running for governor of Louisiana. And I saw a story
01:13:48.220 today taking on the ATF on this, um, uh, gun rule, the governor of, I think it was Montana who
01:13:56.940 said, we're just not going to enforce it. That's that. I mean, that, well, I appreciate every effort
01:14:03.480 that can't be the answer, right? We have, I mean, listen, I certainly applaud him for taking a
01:14:12.920 stand, right? You know, um, it, it shows, I think that what he's doing shows how broken our system
01:14:19.920 has become. Uh, I think that it also highlights the fact that, you know what, look, the states, uh,
01:14:26.900 the federal government is a by-product of the constitution, Glenn. I mean, the states and the
01:14:31.980 people, uh, are who are supposed to be governing us. That's the independence of it. The federal
01:14:36.620 government, we have the tail wagging the dog, but no, it's not the answer. The answer, uh, is number
01:14:42.480 one, to get the courts to strike this down, to get the courts, to continue to put the executive back
01:14:48.100 in its sandbox. And then once in fall, hopefully praying that Congress will start reigning all of
01:14:54.580 this in, um, or the states just basically tell the federal government, look, you're just out of your
01:14:59.440 box and the federal, and we get the courts to agree with that. And that's what we do every day.
01:15:04.400 Glenn, that's exactly what we do, whether it's a second amendment issue, whether it's tackling the
01:15:09.080 EPA who are crushing jobs, increasing inflation, right? I mean, the, the price we pay at the pump,
01:15:17.640 I can't tell you the inflationary cost of just what the EPA does in the stranglehold that they've
01:15:23.980 gotten, um, pushing back against ESG, uh, pushing back against woke corporate boardrooms. And I'm
01:15:31.440 telling you, it's like a rich target environment out there. And it's sad.
01:15:36.880 Ah, well, I'm glad you're on duty, sir. I am really glad you're on duty and, uh, uh, keep up the good
01:15:42.620 work. Uh, and we'll, uh, we'll talk to you again soon. God bless.
01:15:47.220 Well, Glenn, thank you. Thank you for what you're doing. God bless. Can't wait to talk to you again soon.
01:15:52.060 You got it. Jeff Landry, Louisiana attorney general. I'm telling you, it is the attorney
01:15:56.380 generals that are truly changing things. Uh, governors can do it, but I haven't seen a long
01:16:04.340 list of governors that are moving at the same speed, uh, as some of the attorney generals are,
01:16:11.700 even though the attorney generals generally are working with the government or the governors
01:16:16.280 they're, they're not exactly, but you know, there's, there are teams out there. Um, Ron DeSantis
01:16:23.820 is just kicking it and, uh, we need all the good governors and attorney generals. I'm never paid
01:16:30.860 attention to attorney general. Well, I gotta look at who's our attorney general. I never, I never paid
01:16:37.460 attention to that. You know, as a younger, you're like, I don't know. That is really that in the
01:16:44.520 sheriffs are the last line of defense. You've got to have a strong attorney general that understands
01:16:51.200 the constitution and the 10th amendment back in a minute. When I tell you should do your own
01:16:58.020 homework. Part of what I mean is you should ask the right questions of the right people, but how,
01:17:02.780 how do you know what the right questions are? Who are the right people? Well, uh, there's not a lot
01:17:08.520 of right people in a lot of industries. Um, and you know, your pimple faced cousin who's moonlighting
01:17:14.680 between shifts at Starbucks, I don't think is the right person to ask to, you know, sell your, sell
01:17:20.720 your most, uh, valuable, uh, investment probably in your entire life. We've developed a free service
01:17:29.720 for you. And we have taken all of the best, uh, the, the best attributes and best practices,
01:17:36.660 put them together and then said, let's find the people who live their life this way. Let's find
01:17:41.700 the fans of the show that are real estate agents who are also very, very good, have a great track
01:17:47.540 record, uh, have, uh, great reviews from the people that they, uh, have served. And then let's do,
01:17:55.500 let's put them through the ringer on some interviews and look at their best practices.
01:17:59.840 How many do they hit? Do they hit enough to really be able to say that's a good real estate agent?
01:18:06.560 That's what we do at real estate agents. I trust.com. This is my company. Uh, and these people do not
01:18:13.500 work for me. We monitor them and we recommend the best. And if they fall out of really strict

01:18:37.660 them. Real estate agents. I trust.com. This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:18:49.700 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Have you seen Australia's gender ambassador? The video,
01:19:10.620 this is a cut for, uh, if you happen to be watching and I'll describe it if you're just
01:19:16.520 listening, but, uh, go ahead and roll this, please. Hello, I'm Stephanie Copas Campbell,
01:19:21.940 Australia's new ambassador for gender equality. Right. I'm incredibly honored to take on this
01:19:26.700 role as the lead international advocate for Australia's commitment to gender equality.
01:19:29.660 Now, if you happen to be watching, she looks like she's out of a horror movie. A little
01:19:35.360 frightening. Mainly because her eyes. You've been listening to her. She hasn't blinked yet.
01:19:43.260 communities. Not once. Countries in our region and globally. Promoting gender equality is the
01:19:49.400 right thing to do. It's like her eyelids have been. It's also the smart thing to do. It is
01:19:52.960 sewn to the top of her head. It is central to Australia's diplomatic economic development and
01:19:55.980 regional security as well as our international engagement. Okay. So anyway, it's a good thing
01:19:59.980 that we have the new ambassador. We know who that is. Mike Lee's coming up in just a second. There
01:20:04.840 was a tweet from Mike, uh, this week, and we'll get to that in a second. First, I want to,
01:20:10.420 I want to play the video of him at the state of the union, uh, this weekend or this last
01:20:17.180 week. Go ahead and roll that. Or is that just a film? Uh, uh, still, uh, okay. So Mike Lee
01:20:24.920 is, uh, uh, Mike Lee is there in the, uh, in the chambers listening to the president. And at
01:20:34.080 one point, uh, they're talking about social security and he just has this look on his
01:20:40.140 face, like what the, what, what are you even, it was quite a, from the guy who really, when
01:20:49.260 he lives it up, he has a glass of milk and is like, guys, I just want to tell you, I'm
01:20:54.540 just so I'm having out of control fun right now. Um, any kind of emotion, uh, being shown
01:21:02.020 by Mike, who is very well-tempered, uh, was quite stunning. But I also asked him about
01:21:08.700 the tweet that he had up where he was talking about, um, uh, the, uh, state of the union.
01:21:16.780 Uh, I'm sorry. The, um, uh, the balloon being, uh, I'm sorry. There's so many scandals, the
01:21:25.860 Ukrainian, uh, Nord Stream pipeline being blown up. And in this, he said, uh, it's war if
01:21:37.020 it's true slander, if it's not. And I called him right away and said, Mike, and he said,
01:21:43.060 you know, it scares me, Glenn, that I don't know. I really don't know. He spent the day
01:21:48.480 yesterday talking to people and tracking things down. And he says he has an answer for us on
01:21:54.540 that or pretty good answer for us. Um, and he'll share that with you coming up in, in
01:22:00.100 just a minute. Did the United States blow up the Nord Stream pipeline? It must be answered
01:22:06.320 the Glenn Beck program.
01:22:07.520 We got no room to compromise. We gotta stand together in the course of life. Stand up,
01:22:32.520 stand up, hold the line. It's a new day, I'm trying to rise.
01:22:42.540 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:22:50.460 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:22:53.080 What a coincidence. I mean, what are the odds? Seriously, this is the Glenn Beck program. And
01:22:57.220 my name is Glenn Beck. I mean, that's crazy. Welcome. I'm glad you're here.
01:23:02.520 It is Friday, America, and we've got a couple of things that, uh, we're going to be addressing
01:23:07.980 this hour. One is, I don't know, did we blow up the Nord Stream pipeline? Seems like a big deal.
01:23:15.800 You know, if we did, did we? Mike Lee, uh, did some homework on this, uh, yesterday, and he's gonna
01:23:24.160 come and tell us his, uh, give us the results of this. And, uh, I, I don't know if it's still a best
01:23:31.620 guess or not. I hate being in this position because 20 years ago, if you would have said that,
01:23:38.620 I would have dismissed it out of hand, out of hand. Just like I did with, you know,
01:23:44.340 George Bush knew about the World Trade Center. That's nonsense. It's nonsense. Now, were there
01:23:50.120 some things going on? Sure, there were. Sure, there were. But he didn't know the planes. But you
01:23:55.560 say that to me today about this administration? I hesitate. That's not healthy for a republic.
01:24:04.080 That is not healthy. Do they actually represent us or their own interests? We go there with Mike
01:24:12.500 Lee in 60 seconds. You know, there comes a time eventually when it's too late to do the things
01:24:16.800 you should have done, but kept putting them off. That's especially dangerous when we're talking
01:24:21.720 about your financial security. There are no guarantees about tomorrow or next week or next
01:24:27.240 year. If you keep putting off what you know you need to do, you might wake up one day and find out
01:24:33.740 that that chance to protect everything that you work for has passed you by. Look, here's the
01:24:38.820 here's the root of this. I'm sending you to Goldline just to do some homework. Just ask him
01:24:46.200 for this information. The hedge against insanity. Honestly, I talked to Jeff Brown earlier in the
01:24:53.960 podcast. Get the podcast wherever you get your podcast and listen to it if you missed it. But I
01:24:59.500 talked to him earlier. He's a futurist. And I said, what do you think about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency?
01:25:06.520 And he's actually optimistic. He thinks he's he hedged a little bit there. You know, I think
01:25:13.160 I'm pretty optimistic about it going forward. But his real concern was the digital
01:25:18.820 Fed coin that we know they're coming out with when they do that.
01:25:24.340 Most likely it's going to be after some sort of a big shock to the system. And we'll all be shocked
01:25:32.020 and they'll be shocked. And what do we do? And they'll introduce the Fed coin. That's what I think
01:25:38.260 is coming. And I think it's coming in the next 12 to 18 months. But that's just me. Please prepare.

01:26:02.080 or Goldline.com. Senator Mike Lee, how are you, sir? I'm doing great. And it's an honor to be on the
01:26:11.260 phone with the most well-preserved 37-year-old on radio. You know, Mike, I wanted to invite you to
01:26:18.960 my party this weekend. But last time you came, the neighbors called. I called you 37. That's a
01:26:26.820 compliment. So, Mike, this week has been really, it taught me something. I don't, in the end, I don't
01:26:38.580 believe the Seymour Hersh article. He's got only one source and he's got a reputation of, you know,
01:26:46.700 making things up and really only respected by, you know, the far, far left. But I don't know.
01:26:55.020 And it disturbs me that I couldn't out of hand reject that as a nonsense idea. You feel the same
01:27:05.600 way? Yeah. Yeah. I feel the same way. I have the same reaction. That's why when I tweeted it out,
01:27:11.260 I said, if false, slanderous, if true, war. That's the part that's troubling. Now, since then,
01:27:17.440 I've had the opportunity to talk to a number of my colleagues, colleagues who have delved deeply
01:27:22.300 into some classified matters across the board. And a number of, all of them who expressed an opinion on
01:27:31.380 it have said that they believe it to be false. I've asked for a classified briefing on it.
01:27:37.140 It may take a few days for me to get that set up. But what this does do is it tees up some questions.
01:27:43.300 Okay. Hang on just a second. Hang on. When they said, before you go there, let me ask you,
01:27:46.780 let me clarify. They said they don't think it's true or they said it's not true?
01:27:52.260 They said it's not true. Okay, good.
01:27:54.100 They affirmatively believe it to be false. Those who expressed an opinion. Not all of them had had
01:28:00.900 enough information to really speak to it. But those that did uniformly said, yeah, this isn't true.
01:28:08.720 And I have reasons for it to believe that it's not true. Okay. But here are some things that kind of
01:28:15.620 linger. First of all, does President Biden and does the executive branch of government generally in and
01:28:23.640 out of Republican and Democratic administrations? Does it believe that it's got the authority to
01:28:28.200 undertake this kind of hostile action without informing Congress? This is what was so troubling
01:28:33.040 about it is it described in great detail how one would go about it if they wanted to engage in a
01:28:39.100 clandestine military operation, one that could somehow bypass not only a constitutional requirement
01:28:45.760 for a declaration of war or an AUMF, but even notifying congressional leaders.
01:28:51.520 Right. Explain this, Mike. There is a gang of eight, which represents the Senate and the House,
01:29:01.060 both intel committees, right? And those eight people are read in at the highest level of anything like
01:29:12.020 this. But this article from Seymour Hearst said, yeah, we can go around that easily. And laid it out in
01:29:20.300 great detail. Have you done any work on that to see if that's even possible?
01:29:25.800 Yeah. So there are theoretically ways in which they could avoid that. And if they did, the geopolitical
01:29:34.800 consequences would be enormous. Enormous. If in fact, if in fact this attack was designed to force
01:29:41.200 Europe to end its reliance on Russian natural gas, you know, in order to secure support for the effort
01:29:47.180 against Russia in Ukraine, if they in fact did that, then these consequences would be enormous.
01:29:54.060 This would be not only a direct attack on Russia, but also an act of hostility that has massive impacts
01:30:01.560 on Germany, on France, spillover ramifications, really all over Europe. We're talking about millions
01:30:07.420 of Europeans who have had gas supply affected by this disruption. So if this report were true,
01:30:14.620 then it would be incredibly troubling, to say the least.
01:30:20.300 I'll tell you, Mike, we have seen things in the past that our government did that they did in secret
01:30:27.820 and we didn't know. And when we find out, we correct it, or at least try to. But this one,
01:30:35.840 to me, is different than anything I've seen in history. Because as this came out, and I first read
01:30:41.240 it, I thought to myself, good Lord, if this is true, our children are going to be fighting a war
01:30:47.620 that none of us had any idea or any participation in any of this stuff. It's a group of people who have
01:30:56.420 decided they know best, and they're committing us to war. That is so un-American, so against. I mean,
01:31:05.480 it felt like, you know what, I would rather have our military go in and march up and get those guys
01:31:11.500 that did all of this and try them than go fight Russia, because I would kind of agree with Russia.
01:31:17.440 We shouldn't have done that.
01:31:18.700 No, that's exactly right. And regardless of how this happened, or whether any of this happened at
01:31:27.460 all, I really would like to know who did it. Because it's not just anyone who can go out
01:31:34.160 into the ocean, and go deep down into the ocean, and sever multiple pipelines,
01:31:42.880 and then set it up in such a way that you're not anywhere near the blast zone when the event
01:31:51.120 finally takes off.
01:31:52.480 Have you talked to anybody who knows how many nations could pull something like that off?
01:32:01.300 I've talked to a handful of colleagues who have said that they can think of some that could have
01:32:08.620 done it, and it's not something we can talk about outside of a classified environment, but that's part
01:32:14.340 of why I've requested this briefing.
01:32:16.060 Okay, but there are some other suspects that would make sense?
01:32:24.860 I don't know. I don't know that I can make sense of it before I know who it is who could even,
01:32:30.420 technologically speaking, pull it off.
01:32:32.120 So, I just had Mike Pompeo on, and he said that he thought it was Russia to drive up the price of oil.
01:32:38.620 Yeah, okay, so that one is really hard for me to accept. Remember, Glenn, Russia is pulling in,
01:32:48.220 or has been pulling in, a billion dollars a day in natural gas revenue. Natural gas revenue that
01:32:56.940 it's selling to Europe. I believe Germany alone sends them money along the lines of about a billion
01:33:06.160 dollars a day for their natural gas. To bite the hand that feeds in so prominent and severe a way,
01:33:13.640 it doesn't really add up. You never know. Russia can do some weird stuff. That one seems to be
01:33:22.280 stretching the imagination a little.
01:33:24.880 Mike, on the same day that this came out, about two hours later, there was a report
01:33:29.760 from CNN that had security insiders that found out that we had evidence that Vladimir Putin shot down
01:33:41.800 the Malaysian airliner and that it was the missiles came from Russia and that it was tracked to him
01:33:50.820 saying that they were going to shoot this down. I found the timing to be extraordinary.
01:33:58.980 Russia comes out with a story, or Seymour Hearst comes out with a story that we did an act of war,
01:34:04.380 and two hours later, lo and behold, here is Vladimir Putin committing an act of war.
01:34:11.360 Is that a coincidence? One could argue that it is not. Look, Vladimir Putin is an evil man.
01:34:21.220 Oh yeah, I know that. He's a megalomaniac. He is one who has genocidal ambitions,
01:34:30.260 and his ambitions know no boundaries. And so I wouldn't put anything past him.
01:34:35.840 When you look at what England is doing, training pilots now in Ukraine, that's clearly
01:34:45.760 the next step to receiving planes for them to fly. Are you concerned at all about the equipment and
01:34:55.680 everything that we're sending over that at some point, I mean, I know I would really at this point,
01:35:03.240 if I was in Russia's shoes, I'd be like, what? I mean, you know who we're really fighting. It's
01:35:10.320 not the Ukrainians. It's the West. Look at what they're doing. So is there a point that is a
01:35:16.840 breaking point where people like you will stand up, and I know you have already spoken out about a lot
01:35:22.540 of this stuff, but where you're like, no more. This is it. This is insane.
01:35:27.200 Yeah, look, I believe that we have to tread especially carefully when approaching
01:35:34.820 a nuclear-armed, near-peer geopolitical adversary, which Russia is. And I believe that
01:35:41.700 while these are questions of degree, and many people will focus on the difference between
01:35:47.660 defensive weapons and assistance and non-defensive, I think if we take one step further,
01:35:55.820 we will have obliterated any distinction. And I think if we're going to take one step further
01:36:01.500 in that direction, we need to have an authorization for the use of military force or a declaration of
01:36:06.720 war. If it's one thing, if we're going to get involved in a war with Russia, I don't want that
01:36:11.980 at all, to be sure. But if America is going to consider that, it needs to have elected representatives
01:36:17.580 in Congress making that decision, and not just have it made sort of sideways through appropriations
01:36:23.080 for funding, and bold statements by our executives.
01:36:25.960 I mean, that's why England was in so much trouble by the time we entered World War II.
01:36:31.500 Congress had blocked any of the sales of stuff. I mean, it had to go through Congress.
01:36:35.800 All right, hang on just a second, because I want to talk to you a little bit about something that
01:36:38.840 happened at the State of the Union and some things that have now been released
01:36:43.120 with you. Apparently, Mike, oh, you're an evil hater of everyone who is elderly.
01:36:51.120 We're going to talk to you about that. Coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about
01:36:53.780 CarShield. I have a couple of vehicles. They're trucks. I have them out on the farm and the ranch,
01:36:59.600 and I have to tell you, they are dirty. They are dented. They are old, but they run and run and run.
01:37:07.680 And I bought diesel engines so I wouldn't have problems with them in the long run. I could put
01:37:13.040 400,000 miles on them if I had to. Well, I don't want them breaking down because they're long out
01:37:18.280 of warranty. And one of the trucks a couple of summers ago broke down, and thank goodness I had
01:37:22.960 CarShield. It was like a $6,000 or $7,000 repair. And I got to the place and I said, why didn't you
01:37:28.660 call me? $7,000? The truck isn't even worth that. And I said, why didn't you call me? And he said,
01:37:35.920 because you had CarShield. They authorized it. They paid for it. And I'm like, oh, I mean, yeah.
01:37:44.200 Well, can you fix the seats too? Anyway, CarShield. Save up to 20% on your plan right now
01:37:50.720 and always be prepared for the unexpected. 800-227-6100. 800-227-6100. Or go to
01:37:59.320 carshield.com slash beck. That's carshield.com slash beck. 10 seconds and back to Mike Lee.
01:38:05.920 Mike, when the president of the State of the Union was talking about, you know, defunding
01:38:21.640 Social Security, I love the look on your face. The camera got to you and you were just dumbfounded.
01:38:27.700 You were like, what is going on here tonight? First of all, you have any comment on the speech
01:38:36.440 and how you were feeling that night? Yeah, I was stunned. Look, it was my 13th State of the
01:38:42.680 Union that I've attended since I've been at the United States Senate. And I've never seen
01:38:47.220 such brazen falsehood spewed from the president of the United States. He sat there and accused
01:38:55.900 Republicans, claimed quite falsely that Republicans were saying that they were going to mess with
01:39:01.900 Social Security in our negotiations over conditions for raising the debt to him. It's just false.
01:39:08.840 It is categorically false. And he sat there and said that in front of us, then looked stunned
01:39:14.720 that we took exception to it. And then after that, the next day, gave speeches and sent out tweets
01:39:21.720 trying to make us look like hypocrites, but still demonstrating that he doesn't understand
01:39:26.800 what he's dealing with. He doesn't even understand the facts that he's trying to raise.
01:39:31.340 Right. And so one of the things that they sent out was a clip of you. We have the clip. Let's play
01:39:38.220 that, please. I'm here right now to tell you one thing that you probably haven't ever heard from a
01:39:46.540 politician. It will be my objective to phase out Social Security, to pull it up by the roots and get
01:39:54.580 rid of it. People who advise me politically always tell me that's dangerous. And I tell them,
01:40:00.540 in that case, it's not worth my running.
01:40:02.980 I said to my wife, when I heard that, she said, oh my gosh, I can't believe they're saying this
01:40:07.740 about Social Security. And I said, yeah, I know, because if that was really what the Republicans
01:40:11.560 were doing, I'd want to vote for them. But we have to take on Social Security. But that doesn't mean
01:40:19.620 leaving old people without any kind of fulfillment of the promise. Can you explain this clip?
01:40:26.240 Yes, absolutely. First of all, through programs like that, through Social Security in particular,
01:40:34.420 the government has created a program. They promised people back in the 30s when they created it,
01:40:38.100 this will be your money, your account, your retirement. We can't, we won't touch it because
01:40:42.500 it's your money. It was absolutely false. They were lying. They've been lying for decades.
01:40:47.520 They've been stealing, plundering this Social Security trust fund. They do it all the time.
01:40:52.980 They've done it, even just in the years since I've been in the Senate. So what I was channeling
01:40:57.760 there was the fact that Social Security, as it's been set up, as it's been managed, has really hurt
01:41:04.740 people. And it's been an act of deception. What the president, of course, didn't play,
01:41:10.700 and what you didn't play was the rest of the sentence, the rest of that communication and any
01:41:17.000 other that I've ever had, which was where I said, we, of course, have to honor the promises of people
01:41:22.620 who have paid into this thing. You can't just leave them hanging, having been promised. In other
01:41:28.600 words, it's a long-term objective, one that would take decades to complete, because you do have to
01:41:33.860 honor those promises. But Social Security, as we know it, as it's been raided and plundered,
01:41:39.420 has been used as a tool to take money from Americans, to provide this little slush fund piggy bank
01:41:44.920 for Congress to raid whenever it wants to, to mismanage and to distribute to other pet
01:41:50.880 progressive priorities, which is awful. I have to tell you, I'm 59. So I'm just, you know, a few
01:41:56.880 years away from Social Security. I've known my whole life. Pardon me? Yeah, I know. Right. Thank
01:42:04.720 you. I've known my whole life Social Security is going to collapse. So I haven't counted on it. Now,
01:42:11.580 I'm in a situation where I don't have to count on it. But if they would have invested my money,
01:42:17.120 I started working when I was eight. And I started getting an official paycheck when I was 13. So I've
01:42:23.880 been paying into Social Security for many years. If my money would have been invested, and would have
01:42:30.920 been in stocks, I can't tell you how wealthy I would be today. And that's really what they promised
01:42:37.480 us they were going to do. And they didn't. So now we can't pay for anything. But there does come a
01:42:44.200 time, there's not anybody my age that hasn't heard this from the beginning. I was in high school, I
01:42:50.140 heard it from Reagan. I mean, we've known it's not going to last. There comes a time when you have to
01:42:56.500 say, guys, we're going to finish the generation that really needs it right now. But we've got to
01:43:03.820 shut the taps down. We're going to do it slowly, methodically, and with lots of time. But we got
01:43:09.940 to shut this off. And I, I commend you for that, Mike. I commend you. Thank you. In all my 12 years
01:43:16.680 in the Senate, I've never proposed abolishing those benefits. Of course not. Instead, look for ways to
01:43:21.320 make them sustainable. And shame on the president for lying about this. Wow, he actually used it. He
01:43:26.360 actually used the lying word. Mike is so temperate in everything. Mistruths. But thank you, Mike. God
01:43:33.880 bless you. I love you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Bye bye. Thank you. He is such a, he's such a
01:43:40.160 radical, isn't he? The Glenn Beck program. Did anybody notice that the first time? He couldn't bring
01:43:46.320 himself to say lie. He didn't want to go there. And I thought, this is the guy that everybody tries to
01:43:51.260 make into a radical, please. Let me talk to you about Tunnel to Towers. Out of the ashes of tragedy
01:43:57.520 of 9-11, Tunnel to Towers has been honoring America's heroes and doing good in their world
01:44:02.600 ever since. If you've not heard of them, let me introduce you to them. They are an organization
01:44:07.120 that provides mortgage-free homes to families of fallen and severely injured veterans and first
01:44:11.860 responders. I have watched these people since 9-11. They do just incredible, incredible work.
01:44:20.220 They do it for the police officers that lose their life. My wife, I think her cousin was married to
01:44:29.720 one of the police officers that died up in Connecticut. And I find out that within days
01:44:35.680 of him being killed, Tunnel to Towers was there paying off their mortgage to make sure that they
01:44:41.280 were okay as a family. It's an amazing group. They just would love you to donate to them. Can you do
01:44:46.760 $11 a month? Tunnel to Towers.org. It's T, the number 2, T.org. T2T.org. All right,

01:45:07.100 All right, you sick freak. Welcome to Friday. We have a few things I would like to. I'd like to play
01:45:34.660 Joe Biden on the balloon. This is a cut to Joe Biden, the Chinese balloon. Was it a threat?
01:45:42.500 Wasn't it a major security breach for the United States? Just the fact that the balloon
01:45:47.980 came into the airspace and flew over the country for so many days? No, look, the total amount of
01:45:55.220 intelligence gatherings going on by every country around the world is overwhelming.
01:46:00.560 And the idea that a balloon could traverse, break American airspace is, anyway, it's not a major
01:46:13.740 breach. Okay. Who feels confident we've got a stern captain who knows the path? So it wasn't a major
01:46:26.300 breach. It wasn't a major brief, uh, breach. Um, then why did we use a million dollar missile to
01:46:32.660 shoot it down? I mean, if it wasn't a breach, you should have just come out and said, it's not a
01:46:37.400 breach. Okay. But we used a million dollar missile to shoot it down into the water and we didn't target
01:46:43.800 the balloon. We targeted the little suitcase thing, you know, the, the, I mean, I don't even know how big
01:46:50.220 it was probably maybe, maybe three feet by a foot by two feet, three feet, maybe, maybe, maybe. So let's
01:46:59.820 just look at a piece of luggage. We have, uh, Jason Buttrell in who is, uh, our chief researcher, Jason
01:47:05.900 military, one of those missiles, they're made to take down what full on aircraft, full on aircraft.
01:47:15.220 Okay. So we shot one at a size of like, you know, luggage. I've got an old Samsonite and I've got a
01:47:24.160 big radio in there and a transmitter, my toothbrush and my underpants, and it's flying on a balloon.
01:47:32.380 It's hit squarely by one of those missiles. How much is left of that?
01:47:38.400 Nothing. I mean, practically nothing, maybe a small piece of metal, something like that.
01:47:43.260 Maybe nothing you could use. Correct. Nothing. That's going to give you any indication other
01:47:47.320 than this came from the earth. This was man-made as a, it's a metal alloy of some sort. Why do we
01:47:56.160 have, if it wasn't major, if it was no big deal, why do we have the seal team scuba diving, trying
01:48:03.780 to find any piece of it, which you're not going to do. And it's not going to be anything earth
01:48:10.200 shattering. But why do, this doesn't make any sense to me at all. Now, here's the good news.
01:48:19.860 I understand that the president has dispatched the big guns. He's got James Cameron now under,
01:48:28.600 underwater with cameras. Bold move. It is. It is. And so far, he's only found this old couple
01:48:36.420 holding each other in bed. They were very, very frightened. But, so we got James Cameron on it. So
01:48:43.380 that's going to be, that's going to be good. Now, let me tell you about the FBI. There is, there is
01:48:48.900 hearings going on right now in Washington about the weaponization of the government. And every single
01:48:58.200 American, I don't care if you're left, right, independent, atheist, religious, whatever. We are
01:49:05.360 all living under the same rights. And when there is a breach of those rights on anyone, it's a breach
01:49:15.260 on all of us. And we have to go back to that understanding. When I was growing up, we used to
01:49:22.420 say all the time, you know, boy, I don't agree with a word that you said, but I'll fight to the
01:49:28.420 death for your right to say it. That was common. Do you ever hear that anymore? Except from somebody
01:49:36.700 my age. I disagree with you a hundred percent. In fact, I'm almost violently against you, but I will
01:49:47.260 fight for your right to say it because we're Americans. And when you have that attitude,
01:49:54.720 then everybody's safe. Everybody's safe. You have to be willing to defend the most abhorrent ideas
01:50:04.340 or abhorrent speech. We do not regulate those things here. So the FBI field office in Richmond
01:50:13.620 released an internal memo warning that violent extremists are attracted to radical traditionalist
01:50:22.380 Catholic ideology. Now, the memo goes on and says, these are the people that are against Vatican II.
01:50:33.960 Vatican II, really? Isn't that the one that made the mass, took it out of Latin and made it into
01:50:43.380 English? They're going to blow up the government because the mass isn't in Latin anymore? I mean,
01:50:53.100 but then you start thinking about it. You're like, these traditionalists? I mean, have you listened
01:50:57.520 to their music? I mean, if that doesn't fill you with rage, that isn't just like, oh, I've got to
01:51:06.700 bomb something right now. I have to. Anyway, so listen to this. This is in the document. Interest of
01:51:14.100 radically or ethnically motivated violent extremists in radical traditionalist Catholic ideology
01:51:19.620 most certainly presents new mitigation opportunities. Wait, wait, wait, what? Most certainly presents new
01:51:29.460 mitigation opportunities. Hmm. This is for FBI internal use only. Do not disseminate externally.
01:51:39.480 Luckily, somebody was like, I think I'm going to distribute this one externally.
01:51:44.480 Um, the field office claims it has increasingly observed interest of radically or ethnically motivated
01:51:54.140 violent extremists in the Catholic ideology. And, uh, they were relying on the key assumption that
01:52:03.060 radically or ethnically motivated extremists would continue to find radical traditional Catholic
01:52:09.320 ideology attractive and connect it with, I don't know, bombs. I don't, I have no idea. But I mean,
01:52:21.420 if you're, if you're really hacked off that, like the mass isn't in Latin, I don't target a congressman. I
01:52:29.380 don't know about you. I mean, I don't understand other than this may be part of the warning that I have
01:52:37.180 given you on, um, on, um, on Alexander Dugan, the traditionalist, not a small T, but a capital T. That's a movement,
01:52:48.920 the traditionalist movement. And that comes from Russia. You want to talk about a Russian infiltration. You want to
01:52:56.800 talk about disinformation and radicalizing Americans and trying to destroy America. That's it. You want that one, FBI?
01:53:04.760 Because I could give you the information. I know you have experts somewhere, but you want to look at
01:53:11.240 traditionalism being dangerous. Let me introduce you to Alexander Dugan. That's dangerous. Somebody who's
01:53:21.080 like, I really disagree with Vatican II. I don't think they're bombers. I don't think they're going to go
01:53:28.800 after, you know, Obama or Biden or anybody else. Although they did say they have real, I'm quoting
01:53:38.860 real disdain for most of the popes elected since Vatican II, particularly Pope Francis and then Pope
01:53:47.700 John Paul II. Oh my gosh. Well, Pope Francis, I mean, I don't know a Catholic who's like, that guy's sweet.
01:53:57.780 No alarm bells go off when me. I mean, the only ones that I would know would be the mainstream media.
01:54:04.340 They're like, he is just like St. Francis. I saw him hugging a deer last night. Uh-huh.
01:54:12.000 So they have a problem with Pope Francis and Pope John Paul II, and they are anti-Semitic,
01:54:17.920 anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQI2+, and white supremacists. Really?
01:54:26.200 I mean, I'm sure there are those traditional Catholics that are like that, just like I think
01:54:34.500 there are those, you know, traditional Baptists, untraditional Baptists, traditional Mormons,
01:54:41.220 untraditional Mormons, Jews. Well, Jews probably not. Well, you know, some of the amazing, famous
01:54:48.540 left-wing Jews are very anti-Semitic, strangely, but I digress. He said this is a, they said this
01:54:56.760 is a small minority of overall Roman Catholic adherents, and, you know, they're upset against
01:55:03.220 the teachings and traditions, yada, yada, yada. Now, they used as a source the Southern Poverty
01:55:09.220 Law Center. So we have, uh, so we have that. Um, and they also said this, this is a way for them
01:55:20.960 to, um, connect with these radical traditional Catholic adherents, both virtually via social
01:55:29.180 media and in person at places of worship. So I don't know how these FBI agents undercover are going
01:55:36.420 to handle the Gregorian chant. I mean, that could, that could get dicey. And then the incense on top
01:55:41.860 of it. Okay. But, uh, you learn the secret Latin code and you're in FBI. You'll be in. So what is this?
01:55:52.100 What does this say? This is basically saying we're targeting the Catholics. Anybody who, you know,
01:55:58.880 is a traditional Catholic, we're targeting you because you might be an enemy of the state.
01:56:06.420 Do you remember the outcry when the terrorists were planning stuff in a mosque and the FBI would
01:56:15.520 knock on the door? Excuse me. I don't mean to, I mean, I'm not going to come in. I'm not going to,
01:56:21.100 I, I, no, no, no. I even took my shoes off, you know, at the car, I've been walking through the
01:56:26.440 streets and, and the syringes in the, and, and the broken glass, but I I'm here without my shoes and I'm
01:56:32.780 being very rare. You know, the guy who's covered in soot that just ran in here. Yeah. He just blew
01:56:39.940 up a building. Can we get him out? Oh my gosh. How dare you take on this religion here? You have
01:56:48.080 them targeting, by the way, they've retracted this. Now that this has come out, they said they were
01:56:55.420 really, really, really, really, really sorry. It was a mistake. It was, hmm? What'd you say?
01:57:03.780 Bullcrap.
01:57:04.880 Really?
01:57:05.420 My God.
01:57:07.200 Yeah. No, it was a mistake. It was a mistake. And they came out and said, we would not open
01:57:15.040 investigation based solely on first amendment protected activity. We just wouldn't do it.
01:57:20.320 Really? Well, do you have like the Catholic bombs or anything? What, what, what, why were
01:57:28.840 you infiltrating this group? Do you have evidence? Your evidence in the memo is like, they say
01:57:34.960 bad stuff. They think bad things. There's no evidence in that memo that they're building
01:57:43.280 bombs, planting bombs, none of that. It's all thought and speech. Here's the problem. We are
01:57:50.180 confusing now crime with thoughts. We're, you know, I remember when Minority Report came
01:57:58.780 out and you were like, oh my gosh, we're, we're four people lying in a milk bath away from
01:58:05.180 doing Minority Report. All you need are the precogs. Well, and the bingo thing where the
01:58:11.920 balls came down and B26. That's all we're, that's, that's all we're missing on this. We
01:58:19.980 are now placing thought and speech as crime. Congratulations, America. Can you play that
01:58:29.380 Catholic chant thing again? That Gregorian chant? I love it. This is one of my favorite.
01:58:33.320 I have all these guys. I have, I have their whole collection. Sometimes they just rip loose.
01:58:38.880 And, you know, in Latin, they're like, let's blow up things right now. That's kind of how
01:58:43.760 I'm feeling now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, it's pretty
01:58:50.480 crazy because I'm thinking, they're thinking right now of blowing stuff up. Right? Listen,
01:58:56.680 oh my gosh, there it is. There it was. That was the thought. That was the moment. That was
01:59:00.860 the moment. Okay. I don't think that's actually Gregorian chant. I've never heard the Gregorian
01:59:04.860 chant with the, the Jack Bauer drums behind it. The synthesizer? I don't know. I don't
