The Glenn Beck Program - Why Is FTX's Founder Not Already in Jail？｜ Guest： Brendan Carr ｜ 12⧸1⧸22

00:00:00.000 All right. Let me tell you about good ranchers. First, let me start with the news I told you about yesterday.

00:00:05.040 In the Netherlands, they are closing down and the country is just buying all of these ranches.

00:00:12.580 And I think the Netherlands is the second one or two on meat exports for Europe.

00:00:20.520 And they're just shutting them down because, you know, nitrate.

00:00:24.080 This is nuts and the world is going to starve and it's coming here.

00:00:29.140 We have to support our ranchers. Good ranchers is a way for you to buy the highest quality meat from America on American ranchers.

00:01:12.780 Good ranchers

00:01:34.760 We've got no room to compromise

00:01:45.720 We've got to stand together if we're going to survive

00:01:51.620 Stand up straight and hold the line

00:01:59.180 It's a new day, our time to rise

00:02:03.140 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:11.200 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:16.460 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:19.560 Yesterday, the New York Times had a little get-together, and guess who showed up?

00:02:25.280 At least virtually, it was Bankman Freed.

00:02:29.540 You know, the guy from FTX that, you know, just lost about $10 billion for investors.

00:02:39.640 Ken Lay, Enron, all of that.

00:02:41.980 Those guys were in jail within 24 hours.

00:02:45.080 This guy is still in the Bahamas, and he's doing an interview for a very special, well-promoted interview with the New York Times.

00:02:56.720 Hmm.

00:02:57.880 Let me explain what I think happened yesterday in a way that nobody else will tell you.

00:03:04.640 I'll give that to you in 60 seconds.

00:03:07.040 First, let me tell you about LifeLock.

00:03:11.260 It's no secret that cybercrime is pretty scummy in general.

00:03:14.740 A great example of that is how often elderly people are targeted, whether it's for Medicare coverage, online shopping, tech support, charities, all kinds of stuff.

00:03:23.900 Because the elderly are not necessarily, they're too trusting. 1.00

00:03:26.980 They don't understand all of this right now, because their world was completely different, and may I say, much better.

00:03:36.380 Anyway, it's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect all of our lives.

00:03:41.900 It's going to happen to you at some point.

00:03:44.360 Now, the question is, are you going to protect yourself?

00:03:46.920 And what do you do if you haven't protected yourself to get your reputation, your money, your identity back?

00:03:55.000 I would suggest protecting yourself.

00:03:57.460 If you just have somebody else watch over this, and somebody else who's really trusted and really good, the best on viruses is Norton.

00:04:05.880 Well, they have partnered with LifeLock.

00:04:07.880 Now it's LifeLock by Norton, so you know who is doing it.

00:04:11.780 They're really trusted people.

00:04:13.860 And nobody can prevent all identity theft, but they watch for it.

00:04:17.840 They'll alert you.

00:04:18.820 If something slips through, they've got the team there to help clean everything up.

00:04:28.500 Call 1-800-LIFELOCK, 1-800-LIFELOCK, or lifelock.com.

00:04:31.740 Use the promo code BECK.

00:04:34.620 So, Stu, yesterday I kind of had a bad day.

00:04:38.720 I had a bad day.

00:04:39.760 Yeah.

00:04:40.100 I would say that.

00:04:41.020 You're doing okay?

00:04:42.040 Yeah, I'm doing fine.

00:04:43.720 But I would say that was a bad day.

00:04:45.720 Sure.

00:04:46.200 Yes, I would agree.

00:04:46.700 But that bad day didn't include me losing $10 billion for other people.

00:04:53.920 No.

00:04:54.320 You didn't lose any billions of dollars for other people that day.

00:04:57.120 No.

00:04:57.460 Because I don't know if I would describe that as having a bad month.

00:05:00.940 You know, I had a bad month.

00:05:02.040 Lost $30 billion, $10 billion in other people's money.

00:05:06.380 Right.

00:05:06.720 Yeah.

00:05:06.960 That's a really bad month.

00:05:08.160 That's a bad month.

00:05:09.300 I think it's above a bad month.

00:05:12.160 But that is the way that Bankman Freed started the interview yesterday with the New York Times.

00:05:19.160 He apologized and said, I just, I mean, here, let me, let me actually play it for you.

00:05:28.660 Let's play, cut 11, please.

00:05:31.680 I mean, look, I've had a bad month.

00:05:33.880 This has not been any fun.

00:05:36.060 That's a real laugh, by the way.

00:05:37.300 That's not what matters here.

00:05:38.320 Like, what matters here is the millions of customers.

00:05:42.880 What matters here is all the data.

00:05:45.200 Stop.

00:05:45.780 I want to come back to that part of it at the end.

00:05:48.800 Put a pin in that.

00:05:50.280 But let's start with what he said.

00:05:53.660 I just didn't know.

00:05:55.700 Cut nine, please.

00:05:57.000 Was there commingling of funds?

00:05:58.920 That's what it appears like.

00:06:00.640 It appears like there's been a genuine commingling of the funds that are of FTX customers that were

00:06:06.460 not supposed to be commingled with your separate firm.

00:06:11.840 I ain't knowingly commingled funds.

00:06:13.880 And again, one piece of this, you have the margin trading.

00:06:17.080 You have, you know, customers borrowing from each other.

00:06:19.580 Alameda is one of those.

00:06:20.460 I was frankly surprised by how big Alameda's position was, which points to another failure

00:06:26.600 of oversight on my part and failure to appoint someone to be chiefly in charge of that.

00:06:34.440 Uh, but, uh, I wasn't trying to commingle funds.

00:06:38.920 Oh, okay.

00:06:41.280 Well, there's all kinds of evidence that, uh, Alameda, which was the hedge fund and FTX shared

00:06:48.000 an account with their banking partner.

00:06:50.840 So, I mean, you're sharing an account at Silvergate.

00:06:56.700 Uh, so not sure how you, you square that circle or, you know, you weren't aware, but what he's

00:07:02.120 saying here basically is I wasn't, I wasn't aware of it.

00:07:05.200 That's his girlfriend that's running it. 1.00

00:07:07.840 So in other words, Hey, I'm, I didn't look at her.

00:07:12.220 His girlfriend is running it.

00:07:14.200 He appointed her and he's still the owner of Alameda.

00:07:17.140 Right.

00:07:17.420 He's, he still owns the, you know, that's kind of a big part of it.

00:07:21.200 And, uh, his incompetence, uh, slash fraudulent activities are what we're talking about.

00:07:27.640 Yeah, right.

00:07:28.340 He's, I, I wasn't running that and I didn't get involved cause I was nervous about the

00:07:33.280 conflict of interest.

00:07:34.440 If I were too involved in that, you got the same bank account, dude, you have the same

00:07:40.920 bank account.

00:07:41.900 All right.

00:07:42.540 So let's go to cut, uh, 10. 0.59

00:07:45.020 I personally don't think I have criminal liability.

00:07:47.420 How concerned are you about criminal liability at this point?

00:07:51.060 So I don't think that, I mean, obviously I don't, I don't personally think that I have,

00:07:55.160 uh, you know, but I think the real answer is that's not, it sounds weird to say, but,

00:08:03.600 but I think the real answer is that's not what I'm focusing on.

00:08:07.820 Um, what are you, it's, uh, there's going to be a time and a place for me to sort of

00:08:14.220 think about myself and my own future, but I don't think this is it.

00:08:19.960 Oh, so dude, did you commit any crimes?

00:08:26.240 Look, I, I don't think so, but it's not the time or place to think about me.

00:08:31.800 You can think about me later.

00:08:33.380 What I'm concerned about are all of the people who have lost their money.

00:08:37.300 And what an amazing answer.

00:08:42.360 And I guess that's the best answer you can give in this moment, other than the correct

00:08:47.000 answer, which is don't do the interview.

00:08:49.340 That's the, the first thing is stay away.

00:08:52.240 Correct.

00:08:53.400 So you don't do an interview like this.

00:08:58.040 Uh, Stu, how many interviews, uh, in the course of my career have I been asked to do?

00:09:06.700 And everyone clearly said, don't do it.

00:09:12.820 You do not want to do it.

00:09:16.480 This sounds familiar.

00:09:17.280 Like we've had that conversation a thousand times.

00:09:19.620 A thousand times.

00:09:21.020 Now.

00:09:21.580 To be clear, you have not lost $10 billion for investors at any point.

00:09:26.140 And never done anything wrong.

00:09:28.440 Knowingly.

00:09:29.440 Um, so, uh, however, people used to say that watched me when I was on Bill O'Reilly.

00:09:41.180 Why do you continually go on his program?

00:09:45.020 He kills you.

00:09:47.300 Hmm.

00:09:47.860 And that never was ever discussed except for the first time I went on Bill O'Reilly.

00:09:55.720 Right?

00:09:56.540 Bill is going to, you know, he's a wild card.

00:09:58.740 You don't know what's going to happen.

00:10:00.380 Okay.

00:10:00.620 Yeah.

00:10:00.800 Why did I always not listen to that advice on Bill O'Reilly?

00:10:09.060 Uh, well, I mean, I think you guys actually had a good relationship.

00:10:14.080 We had a good relationship.

00:10:14.660 And he would push you on things, but you knew it was coming from a good place.

00:10:18.480 Exactly.

00:10:20.880 He said to me at one point, look, if I think you're wrong, I'm going to tell you you're

00:10:24.700 wrong.

00:10:25.600 If I think you're out of line, I'm going to tell you you're out of line.

00:10:28.600 But most of the stuff that you do, I don't think you're out of line.

00:10:32.860 I may not agree with your conclusions, but I don't think it's out of line.

00:10:36.920 It's a good question.

00:10:38.960 So, Glenn, come on my show.

00:10:42.140 I will ask you the hard questions, but it won't be a setup.

00:10:46.580 I'm not trying to destroy you.

00:10:48.480 Right.

00:10:49.100 Uh-huh.

00:10:49.640 Mm-hmm.

00:10:50.500 So, why would Sam go on with the New York Times against all advice?

00:11:02.620 Because he knew he was walking into a friendly room.

00:11:05.840 They're going to ask you tough questions.

00:11:07.400 We're going to ask you tough questions.

00:11:10.160 Uh-huh.

00:11:11.760 But he knew it would not be a lynching.

00:11:15.000 He knew that there were friends at the New York Times, and he could ask and then answer,

00:11:26.060 this is not the time to think about me.

00:11:29.060 It's not the time.

00:11:31.680 I mean, my question is, why aren't you in jail, dude?

00:11:36.080 What makes you different from Ken Lay?

00:11:39.400 What makes you different from Enron?

00:11:41.400 What makes you different than Bernie Madoff?

00:11:45.000 He then appeals to the people of the audience.

00:11:49.320 I care about the people who lost their money, and I'm sure there are people in your audience that have lost money.

00:11:56.100 And they laugh.

00:11:58.000 And they laugh.

00:12:00.960 Wow.

00:12:01.560 Somebody who lost $10 billion of investors' money, and he shows up, and people are like,

00:12:07.980 oh, that crazy kid.

00:12:12.580 This is a whitewashing.

00:12:15.820 This is money laundering, except it's reputation laundering.

00:12:21.260 They are just laundering him here.

00:12:24.520 That's interesting.

00:12:25.360 I mean, look, I think everybody wants this interview, right?

00:12:30.140 Like, this is, it's not like people are resisting talking to this guy right now.

00:12:33.300 I think, you know, so, but he's selecting who he's going.

00:12:35.500 He's also going on with George Stephanopoulos, apparently.

00:12:38.040 Oh, George Stephanopoulos.

00:12:39.320 Yes, which is interesting.

00:12:40.040 Kind of, I think, supports your thesis there.

00:12:42.760 Uh-huh.

00:12:43.120 Right?

00:12:44.280 You know, I'm not surprised that the New York Times would take the interview or offer the interview.

00:12:50.140 I'm sure every mainstream, like, financial journalist has offered this interview.

00:12:54.680 He's selecting where he's going, though, right?

00:12:56.760 Mm-hmm.

00:12:57.200 And this is, you know, we were in that room, weren't we, Glenn?

00:13:00.440 Yes, yes, yes.

00:13:01.240 I can't remember what event we did there.

00:13:02.900 We did something there.

00:13:03.820 I remember doing it.

00:13:04.740 And it's an impressive, impressive room, right?

00:13:08.440 Like, at the New York Times.

00:13:09.940 It's like an incredible place for one of these things.

00:13:12.560 Yeah.

00:13:12.700 We did, just to piss him off, we did an event for The Blaze when we first launched in that same room.

00:13:19.820 That's what it was.

00:13:20.660 That's right.

00:13:21.080 That's right.

00:13:21.640 It was a launch announcement of The Blaze.

00:13:24.080 That's right.

00:13:24.880 Jeez.

00:13:25.200 And it was pretty sweet.

00:13:27.200 It was pretty sweet.

00:13:28.120 And we walked into the New York Times and everybody was like, good Lord, what are these people doing here?

00:13:32.260 They were just hoping that it was some arrest announcement.

00:13:34.900 Don't worry.

00:13:35.480 We're just doing an exorcism.

00:13:37.400 Yeah.

00:13:37.720 Don't worry about it.

00:13:39.480 But it's, you're right.

00:13:41.500 I mean, it's like, I mean, I watched a good chunk of this interview.

00:13:44.660 It was over an hour.

00:13:45.640 And apparently he did almost two hours with George Stephanopoulos that's coming out partially today.

00:13:51.000 Another guy who's not going to really press on.

00:13:54.800 So, how much money were you giving to the Democratic Party?

00:13:58.500 Yeah.

00:13:58.940 Because that's, you know, I didn't hear one question about that from the Times.

00:14:03.260 See, that's where they're washing all of this.

00:14:08.300 Yeah.

00:14:08.520 Just make sure that he's not tied to any of that.

00:14:12.760 Let's not get into any of how much money was going to the people who are now going to keep him out of jail.

00:14:19.480 Let's make sure we don't ask those questions.

00:14:22.280 See, there's two ways this can go, I think.

00:14:25.720 One way is the way you're talking about where they will protect him.

00:14:28.940 And I think there's a real argument to be made that that's the way it goes.

00:14:31.940 I think it's maybe the most likely way it goes that he will be protected because of all the money that he was giving to Democrats.

00:14:37.900 There is that part, though, where this does cause problems for Democrats, right?

00:14:43.640 Like, it does expose them.

00:14:46.600 You know, like, you don't want pictures of you when you're running for re-election with Bernie Madoff with your arm around him.

00:14:52.620 And, like, these sorts of problems are going to be real for Democrats going forward.

00:14:57.100 But you don't have Bernie Madoff here.

00:14:59.640 However, you don't have a mainstream press making him in to Ken Lay or Bernie Madoff.

00:15:06.480 I don't know that he—this is really bad.

00:15:08.860 I mean, you might be right, but it's going to be hard to whitewash this guy.

00:15:12.140 Do you remember what it was like with Bernie Madoff?

00:15:15.460 How they just hounded him all the time.

00:15:19.020 Have you seen him being hounded in his Bahamas home?

00:15:24.700 Have you seen that?

00:15:25.500 No.

00:15:25.580 Have you seen the gaggle of, no, I haven't either.

00:15:28.440 No, though, you know, Bernie Madoff was walking down the streets of New York where the footage was taken.

00:15:33.640 This guy is not.

00:15:34.160 I know, but they were also staked out in front of his house.

00:15:36.740 They never let these guys rest because they were on a mission to make sure they showed how evil these people were.

00:15:45.140 It's true.

00:15:45.400 They're not on that mission.

00:15:46.640 So, the people who are average people are not hearing the Sam Bankman-Fried jokes, you know.

00:15:57.520 Yeah, that's true.

00:15:58.020 You know, it's interesting.

00:15:58.820 They don't seem to be on a mission.

00:16:00.560 They seem to—like, they're—the tone of the coverage, and I've watched a lot of it.

00:16:04.360 They are on a mission, but that's a different story.

00:16:06.640 It's like, the way the tone of it is, like, we need to understand.

00:16:10.680 Yes.

00:16:11.040 Almost like, we need to understand because this guy who we all said was so great may have done a couple things wrong.

00:16:17.840 So, let's come up with a reason to—or let's let him explain.

00:16:21.600 Give him an ample opportunity to explain why this reason wasn't that he wanted a private jet and a $30 million apartment in the Bahamas.

00:16:29.820 Imagine that I lost $10 million of people's investment, and I was co-mingling funds, and it was an honest error.

00:16:41.640 $10 million, not billion.

00:16:43.820 They would slaughter me.

00:16:45.800 They'd be all over the place.

00:16:46.940 They'd have people parked outside these windows right now.

00:16:49.160 Absolutely, they would.

00:16:50.680 They are on a mission, and one of the—to me, there are two reasons.

00:16:57.100 He's doing interviews where he knows he won't be pushed on the tough questions.

00:17:04.140 Keep this away from everyone else.

00:17:07.040 Contain this, okay?

00:17:09.400 So, he's looking like a really good guy.

00:17:12.780 Look, I'm just trying to help out.

00:17:14.620 I just believe in giving all this money away, and it just got out of hand, but I wasn't part of it.

00:17:20.760 And don't ask any questions about Democrats.

00:17:23.560 Don't ask any questions why all of a sudden everything is different.

00:17:27.100 With this guy, then Ken Lay or Enron, and they want to contain it.

00:17:32.980 But the second thing they need to do is make sure America learns the lesson about how bad these unregulated markets really are.

00:17:48.380 I mean, it is so dangerous.

00:17:50.740 We can't just have this cryptocurrency out there.

00:17:53.600 We need a central cryptocurrency.

00:17:57.620 That's what he was for.

00:18:00.080 He was leading the band on saying, these people are out of control.

00:18:05.820 We got to regulate all of this.

00:18:07.820 He was a major force in that.

00:18:10.900 So, they need to tell the story that cryptocurrency is bad.

00:18:16.680 Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.

00:18:18.120 That's why we need a Fed coin. 0.98

00:18:20.680 And, by the way, we weren't in league with him on that or anything else.

00:18:26.060 No, no, no.

00:18:26.480 The media, the politicians, the Democrats.

00:18:30.560 No, no, no, no, no.

00:18:31.680 What money?

00:18:32.700 He gave us money.

00:18:33.460 What?

00:18:34.720 That's what's happening.

00:18:36.900 That's what's happening.

00:18:38.640 Back in just a second.

00:18:40.160 Let me tell you about Terry wrote in about her dog's experiences with Rough Green.

00:18:43.540 She says, my two dogs have been on Rough Greens now for four months.

00:18:47.500 I no longer need to give an allergy pill to my dog.

00:18:51.420 She needed that all the time.

00:18:52.780 I even stopped a probiotic that I was using for them because Rough Greens already has the probiotic. 0.99

00:18:58.520 Her fur smells so much better.

00:19:00.840 And the other dog who wasn't eating much at all now has a great appetite.

00:19:06.200 Rough Greens has already paid for itself.

00:19:08.280 Thank you.

00:19:09.160 Terry, thank you.

00:19:10.500 Rough Greens, not a dog food.

00:19:11.960 It's a supplement that you sprinkle on the food and the dogs love it.

00:19:15.740 Meanwhile, they're getting all the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, everything that they need for a healthy life.

00:19:20.940 So Rough Greens, they are so confident your dog's going to love it. 0.87

00:19:24.020 They want to send you the first trial bag for free just to make sure they don't want you out of any money if your dog doesn't like it.

00:19:30.140 But most dogs love this stuff.

00:19:32.240 Rough Greens dot com.

00:19:33.260 You get the first little trial bag for free.

00:19:35.780 It you just pay for the shipping.

00:19:37.580 Go to Rough Greens dot com slash back Rough Greens dot com slash back.

00:19:41.960 Call 833 Glenn 33.

00:19:44.440 Do it now.

00:19:45.400 Ten seconds.

00:19:45.980 Station ID.

00:19:46.500 It's interesting.

00:19:58.200 The question about Sam Bankman Freed here, as you compare it to Enron, I think is interesting.

00:20:03.040 Because Enron people just categorize as this big fraud that collapsed.

00:20:06.820 But if you go back and you look at that story, there were three main characters in that story.

00:20:10.000 Ken Lay, Jeffrey Skilling, and Andrew Fastow.

00:20:13.660 And they all were three different slices of this fraud, different levels of it.

00:20:18.740 Ken Lay largely was a figurehead of that company.

00:20:21.580 He was schmoozing with presidents.

00:20:23.080 Right.

00:20:23.260 He was seeing, you know, big, important people talking generally about concepts.

00:20:27.720 Was he really looking at the books every day?

00:20:30.540 I don't think so.

00:20:31.420 I don't think so.

00:20:32.000 I think he was he was seen as the head and he was that he was the CEO.

00:20:35.580 He's still responsible because you're signing off on everything.

00:20:38.260 Right.

00:20:38.600 So he was still responsible there.

00:20:40.580 Exactly.

00:20:41.700 He Sam Bankman Freed is trying to tell everybody he's Ken Lay.

00:20:45.680 Correct.

00:20:46.160 You know, I was there.

00:20:47.160 I was talking to all the politicians.

00:20:48.540 I wasn't paying attention to every little thing.

00:20:50.240 I can't.

00:20:50.540 The next level of that was Jeffrey Skilling, who was operational.

00:20:54.200 He was actually the CEO, I think, at the time.

00:20:56.640 It's been a while since I read that book.

00:20:57.940 But it's, you know, he was the guy who was he was a guy who realized there were problems

00:21:02.520 in the company and believed he was so smart and could beat could could beat the system

00:21:08.960 and believed we have problems.

00:21:11.580 We could piece it back together.

00:21:12.480 This is going to be OK.

00:21:13.300 OK, and was willing to do to do some things over the line.

00:21:17.800 Yeah.

00:21:18.100 But was like legitimately trying to keep this company together, trying to enrich himself

00:21:23.060 by doing it.

00:21:23.880 Yeah.

00:21:24.000 It was more about he was much more concerned with showing how smart he was and how he had

00:21:29.180 developed all these new things.

00:21:30.380 And, you know, he's a brilliant guy, but he went to jail for a long, long time.

00:21:34.580 The third level of this is Andrew Fastow, who operationally was going out and actually

00:21:38.960 doing what I view as blatantly illegal things, knowingly setting up fraudulent companies.

00:21:45.520 Skilling was more like, look, whatever we got to do to get through the next month, just

00:21:49.120 just get that done.

00:21:50.040 And then not necessarily involved in every little step of it.

00:21:52.960 Fastow was the guy executing a lot of that, in my opinion.

00:21:56.040 So you look at those three levels.

00:21:58.760 It's the question of which one is Sam Bankman freed.

00:22:01.140 Is he Ken Lay?

00:22:01.980 Is he Jeffrey Skilling?

00:22:03.140 Is he Andrew Fastow?

00:22:04.160 But see, what they're not doing is comparing him to an Enron.

00:22:08.960 No.

00:22:09.440 So, because if you compare, you realize all three of those guys went to jail.

00:22:15.280 Yeah, but you know who went to, who had the lightest touch from the law was Andrew Fastow.

00:22:20.940 The guy, the guy who I view as doing the most damage and doing the most illegal things,

00:22:26.500 because he came out and he went to the press and he said, you know, who's really bad?

00:22:30.460 Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling.

00:22:31.820 Those guys, you know, it's a totally, there's certainly someone's looking for a path out

00:22:38.940 of this.

00:22:39.520 That's certainly the truth.

00:22:40.760 Yeah.

00:22:40.980 That's weird because that's kind of the message that we got yesterday at the New York Times.

00:22:46.580 I didn't do anything, you know, you really want to talk to my girlfriend, probably.

00:22:51.640 So, when all the chips are down, and they could be down before too long, the way things are going,

00:23:08.260 are you ready?

00:23:09.540 Is your financial house in order?

00:23:11.880 The Fed yesterday said they're going to raise the rates again in December, this month.

00:23:17.320 It just started, it's December 1st.

00:23:19.620 So, they're going to raise the rates again.

00:23:21.940 When they do that, the higher they raise rates, the more it hurts the spending in the economy

00:23:27.620 for the average person.

00:23:29.380 And it also raises the interest rate on your credit card debt.

00:23:33.360 As things get more and more dicey, if they do, those credit card companies are going to

00:23:39.440 look at you and others as a bigger risk.

00:23:42.340 And so, they'll raise that rate again.

00:23:44.620 You will have an interest rate of 25% on your credit card.

00:23:49.340 Easy.

00:23:50.420 Please, call American Financing.

00:23:52.440 See how they can help you now.

00:24:58.680 One, Jerome Powell claims nobody expected inflation to get out of hand like this.

00:25:05.880 Well, I don't know about him, but I did.

00:25:10.300 Everybody I know that can do simple math did.

00:25:14.800 You know, I mean, I hate to point out that you also had the economic advisor for the White House under Obama.

00:25:25.180 He did.

00:25:25.820 Clinton's economic advisor.

00:25:26.620 Two of them, by the way, under Obama.

00:25:28.480 Right.

00:25:28.920 Larry Summers.

00:25:29.800 Yep.

00:25:30.460 Jason Furman.

00:25:31.500 Exactly right.

00:25:32.220 They both did.

00:25:33.220 I mean, I'm just I'm just saying there were some voices out there that said you can't print money like this and spend money like this.

00:25:41.180 Also, the entire conservative movement.

00:25:43.920 I know.

00:25:44.700 For multiple decades.

00:25:45.960 Except for the Republicans in Congress.

00:25:47.320 Did you hear what they did yesterday?

00:25:48.640 We welcome Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:25:50.760 Oh, I love that show.

00:25:52.580 Did you hear what they said yesterday?

00:25:54.320 What McConnell said yesterday?

00:25:56.140 No omnibus bill until we take control of the Senate.

00:26:00.460 No, no, it should be no omnibus bill.

00:26:04.580 Period.

00:26:05.060 Period.

00:26:05.680 That's it.

00:26:07.400 When was the last time we had an actual budget?

00:26:09.720 2008.

00:26:10.920 Or 2008 or 2007.

00:26:12.820 I can't remember.

00:26:13.280 I think eight.

00:26:13.860 Yeah.

00:26:14.140 It's been 14, 15 years.

00:26:16.760 Yeah.

00:26:17.040 Something like that.

00:26:17.760 Yeah.

00:26:17.920 Imagine running in your house that way.

00:26:19.100 How can you possibly run the biggest economy on earth?

00:26:24.300 Without a budget.

00:26:24.920 For 15 years without a budget.

00:26:26.540 That's unreal.

00:26:27.720 Can you imagine if General Motors or anybody, anyone who was traded on the New York Stock Exchange,

00:26:34.100 they'd go to jail.

00:26:34.800 They said, yeah, we haven't done a budget in 15 years.

00:26:37.420 Yeah.

00:26:37.900 They'd be accused of fraud.

00:26:39.580 Absolutely.

00:26:40.460 And probably would be involved in fraud.

00:26:43.240 Yeah, they probably would.

00:26:44.260 Wonder where our money is going.

00:26:46.060 By the way, so the reason why we have inflation is they spent too much money, they printed

00:26:51.780 too much money, and we continue to spend too much money.

00:26:56.320 NPR has freezed hiring and cut their budget because there's a sharp drop in sponsorship

00:27:03.380 revenue.

00:27:04.340 But that's public radio and television.

00:27:08.100 We can't let that go to the wolves.

00:27:10.520 So we should get some more money from the government, shouldn't we?

00:27:14.200 Well, I don't know.

00:27:14.940 They're pretty busy.

00:27:15.560 They just granted $75 million to move three Native American tribes away from the rising 0.99

00:27:21.960 seas.

00:27:23.300 What?

00:27:24.040 Yes.

00:27:25.040 Yes.

00:27:26.020 Away from the rising seas.

00:27:27.740 Where are they located that they're near the rising seas?

00:27:30.580 There's three Native American tribes.

00:27:32.220 Okay.

00:27:32.620 They're on coastal areas and risk destruction.

00:27:35.860 You're going to know right where they are because they...

00:27:38.680 Because...

00:27:38.980 Well, because they're right there and...

00:27:42.660 And?

00:27:42.980 They protect all the salmon.

00:27:45.620 The Native Americans protect salmon? 0.97

00:27:47.420 Native Americans are protecting the salmon.

00:27:49.660 And...

00:27:50.060 Is that their full-time job or...

00:27:52.260 I'm not sure.

00:27:53.520 Okay.

00:27:53.780 I'm not sure.

00:27:54.240 It might be the calling.

00:27:55.300 All right.

00:27:55.700 That each of them get.

00:27:56.900 Anyway, so they're being moved.

00:27:58.320 They're up in Alaska.

00:27:59.120 Also, Biden has announced that he wants taxpayers to pay for sex change operations on minors.

00:28:08.020 I urge Congress to debate that.

00:28:13.420 Go ahead.

00:28:14.360 Pass it as law.

00:28:15.820 He won't.

00:28:16.780 He'll do it through executive order.

00:28:19.420 But now we're paying...

00:28:21.400 Not only are we paying for abortions, we're also now paying for the 15-year-old down the street to have their penis lopped off.

00:28:32.180 Now, thank you.

00:28:34.020 That was nice.

00:28:34.360 So, by the way, today's podcast, coming out later today, haven't done it yet, is with a girl who bought into all this stuff, was transitioned to a boy.

00:28:48.040 Now, a couple of years later, is like, this was the biggest mistake of my life and cannot have children anymore.

00:28:56.080 So many of those.

00:28:57.080 And she wants to go back.

00:29:01.040 De-transition. 0.99

00:29:01.780 De-transition. 0.99

00:29:02.920 And she really can't.

00:29:04.360 So, she's going to talk about...

00:29:05.680 These are all reversible.

00:29:06.640 Yeah, I know.

00:29:07.500 Completely reversible.

00:29:08.500 Well, she's going to be on the podcast.

00:29:09.840 You'll get that tonight if you're a Blaze subscriber.

00:29:12.900 Jeez, that is heartbreaking.

00:29:14.660 Right.

00:29:14.800 So, we are, you know, we're pushing for it.

00:29:17.360 But you know who else is pushing for it?

00:29:19.000 And this might change where you shop.

00:29:22.640 Walmart.

00:29:24.500 Walmart, the Walton family, are funneling millions of dollars into LGBT activist causes, including drag shows for kids and other DEI programs.

00:29:36.480 Sam would be.

00:29:37.640 He would be.

00:29:38.100 He's spinning like a lathe in his grave right now.

00:29:39.860 Yeah.

00:29:40.480 These are like the third generation Waltons, right?

00:29:43.100 Is that where we are now?

00:29:44.980 No, I think this is the Alice Walton Foundation and Olivia Tom Walton.

00:29:53.240 And I'm not sure if that's third.

00:29:55.260 Are those grandkids then?

00:29:55.840 Might be.

00:29:56.900 Might be.

00:29:57.700 I don't know.

00:29:59.080 They've grown up a little bit differently than Sam did.

00:30:01.600 Yeah.

00:30:02.120 Yeah.

00:30:03.220 This is why these people who make all this money and leave it in a foundation, they usually start out very conservative.

00:30:10.380 Not all of them, but start out very conservative and then their kids get it and then their grandkids get it.

00:30:15.980 And before you know it, they are a force for evil.

00:30:19.060 Because they did nothing for that wealth.

00:30:20.640 And so they don't appreciate it.

00:30:21.760 They don't appreciate it.

00:30:23.200 And you can't.

00:30:24.040 You can't.

00:30:24.740 Just because you raise the kids doesn't mean they're going to agree with everything that you believed in.

00:30:30.960 Right.

00:30:31.100 Right.

00:30:31.520 You know?

00:30:31.920 Yeah.

00:30:32.220 And you get a kid that, you know, if I died today, I was just thinking about this.

00:30:36.860 Because I'm not sure I would leave like the museum pieces that I have to my kids because my kids aren't driven like I am by the history.

00:30:48.480 Yeah.

00:30:48.740 I know Tim Barton, who's David Barton's son, who's, you know, what, 30.

00:30:55.360 I know he is exactly the same.

00:30:58.180 He wasn't 15 years ago, but he is now.

00:31:01.840 And he's now on the same path his dad was on.

00:31:05.420 I might leave it all to him.

00:31:07.900 Because you can't.

00:31:09.160 Be a good way to go.

00:31:10.000 You can't do that and trust that your wealth is going to be used for good in these funds.

00:31:15.580 And here's Walmart.

00:31:17.980 And, you know, one of the reasons I like Walmart is because of Sam Walton.

00:31:22.040 Yeah.

00:31:22.900 Not anymore, guys.

00:31:23.880 That's over.

00:31:24.600 That's a good argument to just blow all your money on parties and, you know, trips and just things.

00:31:31.920 Oh, you know, I'm doing that.

00:31:33.220 Just blow it all.

00:31:33.920 Don't give it to your kids.

00:31:34.940 Blow it all.

00:31:35.540 Right.

00:31:36.080 You know?

00:31:37.040 Yep.

00:31:37.660 By the way.

00:31:38.120 Spend every dime.

00:31:38.620 Every dime.

00:31:39.480 The EPA has quietly quadrupled the regulatory cost of carbon emissions on fossil fuels.

00:31:47.180 So, it went from $51 per metric ton, now $190 per metric ton.

00:31:55.160 So, that will be a new headache for the oil and gas industry.

00:31:58.960 And you're going to start seeing that passed on to you.

00:32:01.700 By the way, did you see the figures that came out for the hurricane season, which ended yesterday?

00:32:08.620 It's over.

00:32:09.680 There were 14 named storms.

00:32:13.200 There's usually 14 named storms.

00:32:16.060 So, that's up 100% if my math is right.

00:32:18.700 No, your math isn't right.

00:32:20.500 No, you got the two zeros.

00:32:21.960 Yeah, thank you.

00:32:22.480 Right?

00:32:22.780 Thank you.

00:32:23.260 And there's mostly 14.

00:32:25.260 Now, there were eight hurricanes overall, they say.

00:32:29.580 There's usually seven.

00:32:30.620 So, that's an incredibly extreme, outrageous increase that shows that the frequency and intensity is just increasing exponentially.

00:32:42.300 And then there were, they said, two major storms.

00:32:45.280 I only know of one that made landfall.

00:32:47.280 And that was the first one, Ian, in Florida.

00:32:50.740 The second one that made landfall on the other side of Florida was only a category one.

00:32:55.400 And that's not a major storm.

00:32:56.480 But they predicted three.

00:32:58.320 By my count, there was one.

00:32:59.640 I mean, unless I missed a major hurricane somewhere along the way.

00:33:03.600 Yeah.

00:33:04.180 So, again.

00:33:04.860 But again.

00:33:05.560 There's your one.

00:33:06.260 There's your one.

00:33:07.140 And you had the two zeros.

00:33:09.280 What are zeros?

00:33:10.100 Nothing.

00:33:10.480 A hundred.

00:33:10.880 So, you must have had a hundred percent.

00:33:15.220 A hundred percent increase.

00:33:17.500 Wow.

00:33:17.920 It is nuts.

00:33:19.400 We are tubing our entire lifestyle.

00:33:23.440 Yeah.

00:33:23.620 I mean, people, I just don't think people, do they?

00:33:27.160 Do people understand who you talk to every day, who are just not, you know, newshounds or whatever? 1.00

00:33:35.360 Do they understand that the American lifestyle, not just America and your freedoms, but the American lifestyle of being able to have money, to do things, to be able to own land, own your own home, own your own stuff.

00:33:53.760 But that's gone soon.

00:33:56.400 That's gone.

00:33:57.620 A lot of it, I think, has to do with what you were talking about with the Waltons, right?

00:34:01.820 Where they're, as a society, we haven't gone through, we've gone through tough times.

00:34:07.980 But, like, I'm reading that new book that's out, I think it's called Power Failure.

00:34:12.940 It's the history of GE.

00:34:14.360 And it goes back to the very beginning.

00:34:16.860 All the way back with Edison?

00:34:18.220 In the 1800s, yeah.

00:34:19.180 Love it.

00:34:19.780 Yeah, I mean, this is right down your alley.

00:34:22.140 And it's interesting because they, right up your alley, I guess is the right phrase.

00:34:25.920 Anyway, I don't know why that sounded weird.

00:34:27.980 So, anyway, they go through this, and I think, I can't remember the years, 1898 and 1907.

00:34:33.860 There were multiple societal collapses in this period.

00:34:39.260 Oh, yeah.

00:34:39.640 Where, like, you know, 20, 30% unemployment, you know, real questions.

00:34:47.840 But short periods of time.

00:34:49.080 Yeah.

00:34:49.320 Real questions, though, as if the country would survive.

00:34:52.300 Like, J.P. Morgan is credited for coming in in 1907 and, like, bailing out the country from complete and utter collapse.

00:34:59.400 Now, look, obviously, COVID was a situation where, I mean, the entire country shut down for a period.

00:35:06.440 2008 was really, really ugly.

00:35:08.460 But, like, it still feels different.

00:35:10.940 It doesn't feel, I think, to people that we felt that level of pain.

00:35:15.780 Because we don't.

00:35:18.700 The federal government at that time, they had to be bailed out.

00:35:23.220 You're exactly right.

00:35:24.360 Bailed out a private individual.

00:35:27.240 By J.P. Morgan.

00:35:28.120 Yes.

00:35:29.240 Bailed the United States of America.

00:35:31.940 That's amazing.

00:35:32.400 Out.

00:35:32.700 Yeah.

00:35:33.120 But the average person was not feeling that because the government wasn't paying for everything.

00:35:38.740 Okay?

00:35:39.900 Now we're going to feel the collapse, but we haven't felt any of this real pain because they've been cooking the books.

00:35:46.600 Yeah.

00:35:46.900 And pouring money out.

00:35:49.220 Why aren't they stopping?

00:35:50.500 If they're worried about inflation, why aren't they stopping spending?

00:35:54.020 Why?

00:35:55.100 Because that's causing inflation.

00:35:57.180 Well, they don't even admit that inflation's a problem.

00:36:00.800 I know.

00:36:01.020 I know.

00:36:01.500 It's transitory.

00:36:02.360 I know.

00:36:02.640 Yeah.

00:36:03.640 It really is a different world.

00:36:05.140 And I think, like, if you think of when there was no government organizations in this period back in the day, there would be real collapses.

00:36:14.280 And then people would just be out.

00:36:15.500 They wouldn't pay their, they couldn't pay their mortgages.

00:36:17.160 They would just be out on the streets.

00:36:18.200 Yeah.

00:36:18.360 And, like, look, we can all look at this and say, hey, it's, it's, COVID happened, right?

00:36:23.820 We spent six, eight, ten trillion dollars on just paying people to stay home.

00:36:29.360 Certainly that period was softer on the average American than these periods were in the 1900s.

00:36:35.020 Oh, by a lot.

00:36:35.940 You eventually pay the price for it.

00:36:39.140 You do.

00:36:39.500 You can't do this forever.

00:36:41.120 Correct.

00:36:41.780 You pay the price now in freedom as well as economically down the road, but it becomes disconnected.

00:36:48.940 Yeah.

00:36:49.040 You know, when we start to pay the price, I guarantee you they will start saying it's because of the do nothing Congress from the Republicans.

00:36:56.880 It's the Republic.

00:36:57.920 And you will not tie it back to the trillions of dollars that were spent that are causing inflation that we didn't have.

00:37:05.840 You know, so you don't get it.

00:37:08.020 This is why the Federal Reserve, they were able to convince people eventually, because what the message was with the Federal Reserve, there won't be collapses like that.

00:37:17.480 We'll be able to make sure that we balance it because people about every 10 to 20 years, there was a massive depression, but it usually would last 18 months and then it would sprout up again and go.

00:37:30.720 So what's happened is we don't have those 10, 20 year depressions that last 18 months.

00:37:37.340 Instead, we will have big recessions that will last two years.

00:37:43.180 And then when it finally busts, it busts like the Great Depression and what's coming. 0.58

00:37:50.580 All right.

00:37:51.060 Back in just a second.

00:37:53.060 Thanks, Pat, from Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:37:55.240 Imagine what you could do if all of a sudden you were able to cut your phone bill down to a significant amount each month.

00:38:03.040 OK, that'd be great.

00:38:05.160 You also get the peace of mind that comes with knowing that a portion of your bill is going to support conservative causes that you believe in.

00:38:11.540 Well, that's Patriot Mobile.

00:38:12.900 There are so many things in my life now that I was having a conversation with somebody yesterday about, you know, this these things have to be a movement.

00:38:26.460 This is this is I'm no longer spending my money on really anything other than movements.

00:38:34.400 Because we have got to put our money into places that are helping us, not hurting us.

00:38:40.680 And I'm not saying lose money and I'm not saying get, you know, worse service.

00:38:45.280 And so sometimes I am just saying no service whatsoever.

00:38:48.400 But when it comes to your phone bill, Patriot Mobile is there and we've got to stand together.

00:38:54.980 It's part of a movement to save our nation.

00:38:57.880 Patriot Mobile dot com slash back.

00:38:59.840 Call their 100 percent U.S.-based customer service team at 972 Patriot.

00:39:10.880 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:29.800 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:32.720 Hey, by the way, you know, the Sam Brinton, the gender fluid guy who's, you know, dressing up as a woman and pretty much in charge of all of our nuclear waste waste and everything. 0.89

00:39:47.060 Really, it's good.

00:39:48.400 You know, I just don't think we should ever have a bald guy in charge of our nuclear waste.

00:39:53.080 It's kind of just like that's the canary in the coal mine.

00:39:56.420 You know, I mean, is he losing all of his hair?

00:39:59.340 Yeah.

00:39:59.840 Let's not listen to him.

00:40:01.160 You know, I've heard a lot of takes on the story.

00:40:02.820 That one I have not heard.

00:40:04.320 Well, I just that's a side point.

00:40:05.760 That's a side point.

00:40:06.560 So he's supposed to be the best and everything else.

00:40:09.980 And he wears dresses.

00:40:11.420 Well, apparently he was at the airport and and he went to go get his suitcase and he picked up someone else's suitcase.

00:40:24.560 Now, this is weird because he didn't have a suitcase that he checked.

00:40:28.280 So it's weird that you'd pick up somebody else's suitcase if you didn't check luggage.

00:40:32.920 But he was sure that it was his, right?

00:40:35.480 It was his, even though he didn't check one, pack one or anything else.

00:40:38.900 No.

00:40:39.320 OK, of course.

00:40:40.040 But he was sure it was his.

00:40:41.180 Then he takes the luggage and then he kneels down and he he sees the tag and he rips it off and destroys the tag.

00:40:50.980 Now, this is all on videotape.

00:40:52.280 So they found who took the luggage for this poor woman who was like, where's my luggage? 1.00

00:40:58.720 You lost my luggage.

00:40:59.600 They're like, no, we just scanned it through.

00:41:01.920 It's here.

00:41:02.400 They went back through the tapes.

00:41:03.860 They saw him do it.

00:41:05.300 And he's like, oh, I'm man.

00:41:07.920 I'm wow.

00:41:10.240 Yeah, I thought that was mine.

00:41:11.640 And yeah, he has it.

00:41:12.640 And then he takes all the clothing out of it and tries to claim that his clothing was in it and then goes on multiple trips with the same luggage.

00:41:22.280 And this doesn't sound so good, but a good guy to put in charge of our nuclear waste.

00:41:26.600 Yeah.

00:41:26.780 Don't worry.

00:41:27.280 He's been placed on leave, but he'll be back.

00:41:30.100 This is the Glenn Back program.

00:41:32.360 I want to talk to you about something that I just found out about and they came on as sponsors.

00:41:38.220 And I think this is really important.

00:41:40.060 It is Jase Medical is the name of the company.

00:41:42.920 You'll find them J-A-S-E medical dot com.

00:41:46.260 If the supply chain breaks down, let's just say the railroad strike happens.

00:41:52.520 Railroad strike happens.

00:41:54.260 That's going to stop everything.

00:41:56.560 You lose diesel fuel, which we're on the edge of doing that.

00:42:01.040 You lose that for a week.

00:42:03.240 Where is where's your medicine?

00:42:05.380 Where's your medicine?

00:42:06.300 You know that there's already a shortage on all kinds of prescription drugs.

00:42:11.460 And I'm talking about simple ones like just antibiotics.

00:42:16.880 Jase Case, that's the name of it.

00:42:19.380 And Jase Medical makes it.

00:42:21.140 And it will give you all of the medicines that you might need in an emergency.

00:42:27.060 It will give you all of the antibiotics that you would need.

00:42:31.520 You talk to a doctor and, you know, fill out the form and everything else.

00:42:35.340 But Jase Medical is there in case there's a breakdown.

00:42:38.560 Please do this before there is a breakdown.

00:42:45.540 And you have a great advocate.

00:43:01.280 Yes.

00:43:05.720 You're not one that can't remember.

00:43:10.700 You're not one that can't remember.

00:43:13.740 Stand up straight and hold the light

00:43:20.040 It's a long, long day and time to rise

00:43:25.620 What you are about to hear

00:43:30.100 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:33.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:38.220 Stand up!

00:43:40.740 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:43.740 Why is Apple, why was it even discussed

00:43:47.980 that Apple might remove Twitter from its app store?

00:43:53.800 Why?

00:43:55.600 Well, we all know why.

00:43:57.740 Big tech is protecting the voice and the control that they have.

00:44:04.680 And they don't really care about freedom of speech.

00:44:07.880 They don't care about, you know, real, honest, intellectual dialogue.

00:44:11.960 And they certainly don't care about the country

00:44:15.820 if they wouldn't at least talk about TikTok.

00:44:22.200 TikTok is a Chinese operation

00:44:25.380 that is verifiably doing really bad things

00:44:30.120 to America and America's children.

00:44:32.540 They don't seem to care about that.

00:44:36.300 Well, there is one person in the government

00:44:39.920 who is not giving up on this,

00:44:43.400 and he's an FCC commissioner.

00:44:45.080 I remember at 13 years old

00:44:48.380 going to have to take my FCC test for my license.

00:44:54.060 I've been doing this for 45 years.

00:44:56.440 I've never really known the name of the FCC people

00:44:59.640 because I've never seen them as anything other than an obstacle

00:45:03.280 until this man.

00:45:06.240 I know one name of the FCC commissioners in 45 years.

00:45:10.960 You should too.

00:45:12.120 This guy's changing everything.

00:45:14.880 And I think he's getting increasingly feeling maybe alone.

00:45:18.860 We'll talk to him in 60 seconds.

00:45:23.860 While the days of clipping coupons may basically be behind you,

00:45:27.820 the ways to save money are still changing,

00:45:30.880 and it's still very much a thing.

00:45:32.760 You want to save money when you're buying groceries,

00:45:35.100 if you're out to dinner, when you're buying gas.

00:45:37.440 Those things will help you a lot.

00:45:39.960 So I want to talk to you about an amazing app.

00:45:42.240 It is called Upside.

00:45:44.340 I want you to not go to the app store.

00:45:46.340 I want you to go to upside.com slash back

00:45:49.300 because you're going to get a special deal when you do.

00:46:28.360 That's upside.com slash back.

00:46:33.320 So this guy is the guy they call him the FCC's 5G crusader.

00:46:40.240 He's a guy who cut all of the red tape and really pushed for the high speed networks to be built by private businesses.

00:46:49.660 He is he is also the guy who is one of the big forces behind telehealth,

00:46:58.500 mainly mainly for veterans and low income Americans to be able to get to doctors on their smartphones or tablets or any other connected device,

00:47:10.460 driving down the price and driving up the access to medicine all around the country.

00:47:18.320 And he also like Mike Rowe and I believe in apprenticeships and everything else.

00:47:23.660 This is a I think this guy is a real warrior for what we believe are American truths.

00:47:30.780 His name is Brendan Carr.

00:47:32.340 He is a commissioner with the FCC.

00:47:34.620 Brendan,

00:47:34.840 how are you,

00:47:35.320 sir?

00:47:36.380 Glenn,

00:47:36.720 so good to join you.

00:47:38.280 I really appreciate the chance to be with you.

00:47:40.140 Big fan of everything you're doing.

00:47:41.120 And listen,

00:47:41.420 if you ever get in trouble at the FCC,

00:47:43.640 if anyone files a profanity or indecency complaint against you,

00:47:47.520 just don't mention,

00:47:48.580 you know me,

00:47:48.960 it'll go a lot better.

00:47:50.740 I know there for you.

00:47:52.260 Yeah.

00:47:52.460 I never talked.

00:47:54.740 I know.

00:47:56.040 I know.

00:47:56.620 I know how this works.

00:47:58.380 Anyway,

00:47:58.700 I wanted to talk to you about two things.

00:48:01.860 Let's start with tick tick tock.

00:48:03.620 Everybody in the tech industry seems to be against Twitter.

00:48:08.340 I mean,

00:48:09.160 it's crazy by letting people talk how they are being accused of destroying free speech.

00:48:17.340 It's an upside down world.

00:48:19.400 But tick tock,

00:48:20.500 nobody seems to want to do anything about this.

00:48:22.880 I've read your letter.

00:48:23.980 I've read your reports on this.

00:48:26.660 Tick tock is extraordinarily dangerous to Americans.

00:48:29.780 Can you fill in why it's a danger and why everybody in America seems to be focused on Twitter,

00:48:39.380 including the White House and not tick tock?

00:48:42.780 Well,

00:48:43.200 it's quite amazing.

00:48:44.060 And,

00:48:44.160 you know,

00:48:44.420 tick tock is an example of this.

00:48:46.680 And as we may get into Apple as well,

00:48:48.380 when your product is,

00:48:49.380 you know,

00:48:49.820 for better or worse,

00:48:50.600 immensely popular with consumers,

00:48:52.260 it's amazing what you can get away with.

00:48:54.680 And I think tick tock is the prime example.

00:48:56.280 It's popular with millions and millions of Americans,

00:48:58.240 including young Americans.

00:48:59.500 And they look at it and they think,

00:49:00.400 well,

00:49:00.520 that's just a fun platform for sharing videos and dance memes.

00:49:04.220 And the reality is that's just the sheep's clothing.

00:49:06.320 Underneath it operates as a very sophisticated surveillance technology,

00:49:10.340 right?

00:49:10.500 In the terms of service,

00:49:11.300 they reserve the right to get your biometrics,

00:49:14.020 including face prints and voice prints,

00:49:15.940 search and browsing history,

00:49:17.820 keystroke patterns.

00:49:19.500 The list goes on from there.

00:49:21.000 And for years,

00:49:21.500 they said,

00:49:21.840 don't worry.

00:49:22.580 This is stored outside of Beijing.

00:49:24.040 Not a big deal,

00:49:25.020 even though our parent company is ByteDance is based in Beijing.

00:49:27.980 And well,

00:49:28.780 that's been revealed as nothing more than gaslighting.

00:49:31.080 It turns out that according to internal communications,

00:49:34.000 quote,

00:49:34.460 everything is seen inside China.

00:49:37.800 And that's a massive,

00:49:38.920 massive problem.

00:49:40.100 In fact,

00:49:40.460 their COO was testifying in Congress a couple of weeks ago.

00:49:43.820 It was asked point blank,

00:49:45.380 do you transfer U.S.

00:49:47.520 user data to employees in Beijing who are themselves members of the CCP?

00:49:52.580 And the COO said that she declined to answer that particular question.

00:49:57.960 So that's troubling.

00:49:58.780 There's also a new report that just came out that they had this Beijing based

00:50:01.640 operation that was attempting to surveil the location of specific Americans

00:50:07.080 based on their usage of the TikTok application.

00:50:10.980 And that's not to mention,

00:50:11.940 obviously the concerns that come from the content size,

00:50:14.360 where Americans,

00:50:15.960 including children as young as 10 years old,

00:50:18.080 are being fed things like the blackout challenge that's literally convinced

00:50:21.960 them to kill themselves.

00:50:23.580 And some have done that and died as a result.

00:50:25.940 So it's a national security threat.

00:50:27.820 And it's something that parents should be worried about as well.

00:50:30.380 So explain to,

00:50:31.520 because I've tried to explain this to my family.

00:50:34.540 You know,

00:50:35.080 my kids are like,

00:50:36.040 yeah,

00:50:36.340 right,

00:50:36.720 dad,

00:50:36.920 I got it.

00:50:37.980 What is China going to do with my,

00:50:39.820 you know,

00:50:40.360 my face print and my information?

00:50:42.760 Can you explain why that's dangerous?

00:50:44.980 Yeah,

00:50:46.640 it really is.

00:50:47.120 And if you,

00:50:47.540 one way to think about it is there's a version of TikTok.

00:50:50.000 TikTok itself isn't available in Beijing,

00:50:51.560 but a version of it called Doyan,

00:50:53.540 a sister app run by the parent company.

00:50:55.420 And that application shows kids science experiments,

00:50:58.760 museum exhibits,

00:51:00.480 educational material.

00:51:02.060 And again,

00:51:02.740 here in the U S it's showing kids the blackout challenge.

00:51:06.120 So that's,

00:51:06.680 that's where the real danger comes.

00:51:08.260 But also if you step back,

00:51:10.200 what's really happening when you're using TikTok,

00:51:12.400 every time you swipe or click or search,

00:51:14.980 what you're doing is you're feeding training and improving China's artificial 0.97

00:51:19.660 intelligence,

00:51:20.400 their AI.

00:51:21.040 And China has said,

00:51:21.920 we want to dominate the world in AI by 2030.

00:51:24.700 And they're going to use it for authoritarian purposes,

00:51:27.280 for surveillance,

00:51:28.420 for exporting their control.

00:51:30.860 So even if you step back from your own self and your own kids,

00:51:33.480 and even TikTok itself,

00:51:35.520 the idea that we're sending this data and these clicks back to Beijing is

00:51:38.660 improving their AI.

00:51:39.660 And that's going to come around and bite us in ways that are again,

00:51:42.880 unrelated to TikTok itself.

00:51:44.260 So we have Google doing the same thing.

00:51:47.020 I mean,

00:51:47.140 that's why Google was,

00:51:48.140 was free is they wanted all that information to work on AI.

00:51:56.360 So you're saying this is just a,

00:51:59.060 another version of Google,

00:52:01.200 if you will,

00:52:02.300 that's here in America to be able to mine for all of that information.

00:52:07.420 Yeah,

00:52:07.920 you're right.

00:52:08.160 You know,

00:52:08.420 China has a fundamental flaw, 1.00

00:52:10.160 both in their system of government,

00:52:11.600 obviously,

00:52:12.080 but it carries through to AI,

00:52:14.600 which is they don't have feedback loops.

00:52:16.220 They don't understand sort of Western free thinking.

00:52:19.280 And so they need Americans to be on TikTok to be observing their usage of

00:52:24.780 data in order to create their AI and make it a healthy system.

00:52:29.900 So the sooner we cut off data flows back to Beijing,

00:52:32.680 the sooner their version of AI starts to atrophy and go down a separate path in

00:52:38.280 which it's going to be a lot less successful.

00:52:39.820 So I think we do need to look broadly.

00:52:42.220 How do we stop training China's artificial intelligence?

00:52:45.160 But again,

00:52:45.480 that's a piece of it.

00:52:46.400 It's used for surveillance.

00:52:47.500 It can be used for blackmail.

00:52:48.940 It can be used for foreign influence campaigns.

00:52:51.000 And where things are right now is this is in the court of the Biden administration.

00:52:54.960 The Treasury Department has a group called CFIUS,

00:52:58.000 Committee on Foreign Investment.

00:52:59.180 And they've been reviewing TikTok for over a year at this point.

00:53:03.140 And the New York Times reports that they've got a preliminary deal in place to allow

00:53:07.060 TikTok to continue to operate.

00:53:08.780 And frankly,

00:53:09.140 I think this is a big IQ test for the administration.

00:53:11.840 And it's sort of a pass fail at this point.

00:53:14.820 And in fact,

00:53:15.280 you just had FBI Director Chris Wray testify last week in Congress and said that the FBI

00:53:20.300 has serious national security concerns.

00:53:22.220 So I don't see how the Biden administration can go forward and bless TikTok to continue

00:53:26.720 to operate when you have the FBI,

00:53:28.940 when you have Democrat Senator Mark Warner,

00:53:30.780 chair of the Senate Intel Committee,

00:53:31.960 saying that it is TikTok that scares the Dickens out of him.

00:53:35.320 But we may very well be heading towards that direction here.

00:53:38.000 Google Play Store,

00:53:39.660 Apple App Store.

00:53:40.640 I know you wrote a letter to both of them and said,

00:53:43.540 drop,

00:53:44.340 drop this.

00:53:45.100 This is really bad for the country.

00:53:48.380 Yeah,

00:53:48.800 I mean,

00:53:49.000 putting aside the content of what's in this application,

00:53:53.420 Google and Apple have very clear terms of service to stay in the App Store.

00:53:57.180 And if data is being used for purposes that aren't being disclosed,

00:54:01.500 or if data is traveling to countries and being accessed from countries without that being

00:54:05.740 properly disclosed,

00:54:06.960 there's precedent for Google and Apple to boot apps off the App Store for that,

00:54:10.640 reason.

00:54:11.100 And so I wrote them a letter and said,

00:54:12.260 look,

00:54:12.420 in light of the national security concerns,

00:54:14.200 in light of these clearly surreptitious data flows that we're now learning about,

00:54:17.760 just apply the terms of your App Store policies and boot them from the App Store.

00:54:22.540 Of course,

00:54:23.100 they didn't do that.

00:54:24.200 And that's why it's,

00:54:24.860 you know,

00:54:25.100 obviously highly ironic that there was at least the concern this week that Apple might take action against TikTok.

00:54:31.380 Because look,

00:54:32.120 if you're pulling advertising dollars or pulling support in Apple's case potentially from Twitter while keeping your support or expanding your advertising on TikTok,

00:54:43.280 you are sending quite the signal about your brand value.

00:54:46.120 I think it's very different than the one you think.

00:54:48.560 One last thing,

00:54:49.900 because I've got something else I want to talk to you about,

00:54:52.540 but one last thing on this.

00:54:54.420 You just kind of brushed over this,

00:54:56.100 but I think it is critical.

00:54:57.900 There was a new survey out that showed,

00:55:00.080 I can't remember,

00:55:01.420 six or eight out of 10 children in China want to be astronauts and want to be scientists.

00:55:09.960 Here,

00:55:11.320 eight in 10 want to be social media movers.

00:55:18.140 Influencers.

00:55:18.840 Influencers.

00:55:19.600 Yeah.

00:55:20.600 That's crazy.

00:55:21.920 And part of that is because of TikTok.

00:55:25.080 As you said,

00:55:26.840 they're saying the same thing under a different name over in China is encouraging people to do crazy great things and science and knowledge.

00:55:38.000 And knowledge and education and this same platform is programmed here to really make you as dumb as a box of rocks.

00:55:47.460 I don't think that's I don't think that's just all really.

00:55:50.780 I didn't even notice that.

00:55:51.800 That's intentional.

00:55:53.940 Yeah,

00:55:54.460 you're right.

00:55:54.800 I mean,

00:55:54.900 this is why I've talked about TikTok as China's digital fentanyl, 0.88

00:55:59.220 because it's effectively,

00:56:00.200 you know,

00:56:00.760 a pipe directly from Beijing,

00:56:02.280 from the CCP into the ears and eyes and minds of millions of people.

00:56:08.000 millions and millions of America's youth.

00:56:09.780 And what they're being served is divisive content.

00:56:12.280 It's content that is,

00:56:14.140 you know,

00:56:14.300 increasing ADHD problems,

00:56:17.040 suicide, 0.90

00:56:18.380 ideations,

00:56:19.540 body image issues.

00:56:20.780 this is what is being fed to us.

00:56:23.500 And that's,

00:56:24.500 that's deeply,

00:56:25.680 deeply concerning.

00:56:26.480 And that's why I think,

00:56:27.420 you know,

00:56:27.620 it's incumbent on the Biden administration to step in and take some tough action here.

00:56:32.660 Brendan Carr,

00:56:33.140 FCC commissioner,

00:56:33.940 if you don't mind,

00:56:34.840 I need to take a one minute break because I'm,

00:56:37.760 I'm actually,

00:56:38.720 you know,

00:56:39.100 being funded by the private industry and market,

00:56:43.440 but take one minute.

00:56:44.800 We'll be back with Brendan Carr,

00:56:47.800 FCC commissioner.

00:56:49.660 When you hear the term free market,

00:56:52.260 what image appears in your mind?

00:56:54.740 Now,

00:56:54.980 let me give you a follow-up question.

00:56:56.800 What image do you think your kids or kids,

00:57:00.740 your kids age,

00:57:03.260 think of when they hear free market?

00:57:05.400 Now,

00:57:05.860 more than ever,

00:57:06.760 it is really important that all of us do everything we can to make sure that our kids understand what the free market is.

00:57:15.320 And we haven't been under a real free market in a very long time.

00:57:20.280 This is the reason why we're having so many problems is because this is a bastardization of the free market with,

00:57:27.780 with socialism.

00:57:29.780 It's,

00:57:30.340 it's grotesque.

00:57:33.220 Oh,

00:57:33.360 let me add some cronyism in there as well.

00:57:36.880 Tuttle Twins is extending their amazing cyber Monday deal.

00:57:40.620 They're giving 50% of a discount off their free market curriculum designed with activities for both younger and older kids.

00:57:49.140 Tuttle Twins making learning easy,

00:57:51.340 fun,

00:57:51.900 economics,

00:57:52.560 fun,

00:57:52.880 and interesting.

00:57:53.680 That's almost impossible.

00:57:55.200 One of the reasons the Tuttle Twins have sold over 4 million copies is that they make it easy for kids and teens and parents to be able to learn and teach this stuff.

00:58:04.560 With the free market curriculum,

00:58:06.440 your kids will be able to navigate things like inflation and how business and money work in the real world.

00:58:12.020 So go to TuttleTwinsBeck.com,

00:58:13.800 access this special deal,

00:58:15.200 TuttleTwinsBeck.com,

00:58:17.120 for 50% off the free market economic curriculum.

00:58:23.180 10 seconds,

00:58:23.780 station ID.

00:58:24.320 So Brendan,

00:58:35.180 I have a philosophical question,

00:58:38.020 and I'd like you,

00:58:41.240 if you would,

00:58:41.840 noodle this out.

00:58:42.700 I tried to contact you a few weeks ago

00:58:45.780 because I was presented with a story

00:58:48.720 of a book that was in a school library

00:58:53.200 and being read to kids in school.

00:58:57.240 And it was one of the most vile things I have ever read.

00:59:01.920 And I've done this for 40 plus years.

00:59:04.920 I know exactly what I can and can't say with the FCC.

00:59:08.860 And I've always understood those to be community standards,

00:59:12.760 et cetera,

00:59:13.140 et cetera.

00:59:15.720 Here's my problem.

00:59:18.000 There are times when things need to be heard by the general public.

00:59:21.980 And I know we can go online and do it,

00:59:24.140 et cetera,

00:59:24.500 et cetera.

00:59:24.800 But why,

00:59:26.400 when we are a community standards based system,

00:59:29.400 if you can teach it to my children

00:59:32.900 and have it in the classroom,

00:59:34.980 why can't I,

00:59:37.380 a program that is aimed at adults

00:59:40.100 and during the day when kids should be in school,

00:59:44.060 why can't I read that book on the air?

00:59:49.760 Well,

00:59:50.260 you're right.

00:59:50.560 Look,

00:59:50.700 we still have in place at the FCC rules

00:59:53.920 that apply to broadcast radio

00:59:55.240 and broadcast television

00:59:56.360 that regulate profanity and decency,

00:59:59.780 similar content like that.

01:00:02.400 It obviously hasn't been enforced very much

01:00:04.460 in the last few years,

01:00:05.820 but they're still on the books.

01:00:06.760 And so you're right.

01:00:07.280 There is a point at which potentially

01:00:08.760 you reading things from

01:00:11.700 across the broadcast airwaves

01:00:14.060 that may be found

01:00:15.100 in a library somewhere

01:00:16.980 could have issues

01:00:18.960 under the FCC's,

01:00:20.740 you know,

01:00:20.920 profanity and indecency regulations.

01:00:23.220 Now,

01:00:23.360 of course,

01:00:23.640 there's tends to be a newsworthy exception

01:00:26.040 to a lot of that stuff.

01:00:26.940 So you can cover issues

01:00:27.820 and things like that.

01:00:29.200 But it's a challenge.

01:00:30.600 And some people say,

01:00:31.460 you know,

01:00:31.600 look,

01:00:31.800 how do you generally square

01:00:33.180 this pro-speech,

01:00:34.800 free-speech view

01:00:35.960 with that type of stuff?

01:00:37.780 And I would say,

01:00:38.240 look,

01:00:38.440 what we can speak of

01:00:40.100 as adults

01:00:41.080 and talk about

01:00:41.880 freely is very different

01:00:43.400 than the content

01:00:44.420 that should be,

01:00:45.100 you know,

01:00:45.320 stock in the shelves

01:00:46.120 of,

01:00:46.520 you know,

01:00:47.440 school libraries

01:00:48.200 for kindergartners.

01:00:49.840 Yeah,

01:00:50.000 my problem is

01:00:51.200 is this is a show

01:00:52.560 that is based on

01:00:54.680 information and opinion.

01:00:56.580 You may not like it,

01:00:57.740 but we take it serious.

01:00:59.520 We take our job seriously.

01:01:00.720 We try to be responsible.

01:01:02.400 I've always been responsible

01:01:04.140 with the FCC

01:01:05.000 and it's not a,

01:01:08.200 you know,

01:01:09.220 a 1990s Howard Stern

01:01:10.960 kind of thing,

01:01:11.880 which we're way past that.

01:01:13.940 This is,

01:01:15.020 this is being read

01:01:16.620 to our students

01:01:18.040 in many schools

01:01:20.140 all across the country.

01:01:21.540 and it is

01:01:22.720 absolutely indecent

01:01:24.500 and I know

01:01:25.180 it's indecent

01:01:25.980 but

01:01:27.220 why do I

01:01:30.220 get in trouble

01:01:30.960 for exposing

01:01:32.700 this indecency 1.00

01:01:34.000 and the way

01:01:34.940 to expose it

01:01:35.900 is to make people

01:01:37.260 understand

01:01:37.940 by hearing it

01:01:39.060 how unbelievably

01:01:40.780 indecent it is?

01:01:44.880 Yeah,

01:01:45.380 look,

01:01:45.520 I think we've gone

01:01:46.180 a long way recently

01:01:48.160 in trying to address

01:01:49.300 this issue

01:01:49.840 by doing what you're doing.

01:01:50.760 You know,

01:01:50.940 we've had instances

01:01:51.620 where parents

01:01:52.740 have tried to read

01:01:53.560 books from their,

01:01:54.900 you know,

01:01:55.900 again,

01:01:56.320 kindergarten library

01:01:58.000 at school board meetings,

01:02:00.400 at city council meetings

01:02:01.360 and they've been shut down

01:02:02.460 and said,

01:02:02.780 we can't allow that content

01:02:04.260 to be spoken

01:02:05.660 at these city council meetings

01:02:06.980 yet,

01:02:07.300 you know,

01:02:07.480 there it is

01:02:08.400 in the kids' classroom

01:02:10.700 and so I do think

01:02:11.300 there's been some progress

01:02:12.180 in that.

01:02:13.220 Now,

01:02:13.340 from my perspective,

01:02:14.120 I remember,

01:02:14.620 you know,

01:02:14.840 growing up in high school,

01:02:16.700 the famous Eminem song,

01:02:18.360 the FCC won't let me be

01:02:20.320 and it's quite ironic

01:02:21.400 after humming that song

01:02:22.960 in high school

01:02:23.620 that I've ended up

01:02:24.300 at the FCC.

01:02:25.560 Look,

01:02:25.760 we try to be very,

01:02:26.520 you know,

01:02:27.020 pro-free speech

01:02:27.700 about this stuff

01:02:28.340 but this is an issue

01:02:29.100 that we're dealing with

01:02:30.320 as a cultural matter

01:02:31.380 right now.

01:02:31.720 I would not have a problem

01:02:33.080 if it were me

01:02:34.700 possibly losing my license

01:02:36.660 but I lose the license,

01:02:39.980 anything I do

01:02:40.800 could possibly jeopardize

01:02:42.300 the license

01:02:42.800 of every station

01:02:44.180 in my chain

01:02:45.500 so there's no way

01:02:46.940 that,

01:02:47.520 there's no way

01:02:48.540 I'm going to put

01:02:49.140 people out of work

01:02:50.560 to prove this.

01:02:52.860 What do you recommend?

01:02:54.260 Right.

01:02:55.940 Well,

01:02:56.500 look,

01:02:56.680 again,

01:02:56.840 there's,

01:02:57.200 you know,

01:02:57.360 a newsworthy exception

01:02:58.860 to discussing

01:03:00.160 some of this stuff

01:03:01.220 but,

01:03:02.020 you know,

01:03:02.200 look,

01:03:02.400 if you think it's,

01:03:03.480 I mean,

01:03:03.860 it could be good or bad,

01:03:04.740 I don't know

01:03:05.120 but,

01:03:05.400 you know,

01:03:05.500 if it's close to the line,

01:03:06.840 you know,

01:03:07.000 there still are

01:03:08.160 background indecency,

01:03:09.460 profanity rules

01:03:10.040 of the FCC.

01:03:10.660 We do get complaints

01:03:11.680 from time to time.

01:03:12.940 We usually dismiss them

01:03:14.240 or don't address

01:03:15.220 in the main

01:03:15.720 but,

01:03:15.940 yeah,

01:03:16.000 you do potentially

01:03:16.840 subject yourself

01:03:17.980 to FCC scrutiny

01:03:19.300 in those cases.

01:03:20.180 My problem is

01:03:20.960 I had some of the best

01:03:21.880 attorneys in Washington

01:03:22.940 on free speech

01:03:23.940 and FCC.

01:03:25.560 I've always had,

01:03:27.020 I have for 25 years,

01:03:28.180 about three years ago

01:03:30.060 they called,

01:03:31.720 they also represent

01:03:33.000 Google

01:03:33.500 and Apple

01:03:34.860 and Facebook

01:03:36.040 and they dropped me

01:03:38.000 in the middle of a case

01:03:39.100 as a client

01:03:40.520 because it

01:03:41.300 made their other clients

01:03:43.180 uncomfortable

01:03:43.980 and they had to make a choice.

01:03:46.120 So,

01:03:46.580 I'm not sure

01:03:47.680 if you will see me

01:03:48.660 and my attorney

01:03:49.280 at some point

01:03:50.160 because,

01:03:51.120 you know,

01:03:52.140 it's hard to get one

01:03:52.960 if you have to have

01:03:54.060 my opinion today.

01:03:56.280 Brendan,

01:03:56.540 thank you so much.

01:03:57.400 I appreciate all

01:03:58.140 that you do

01:03:58.560 at the FCC.

01:03:59.640 God bless.

01:04:01.020 Appreciate it.

01:04:01.520 Thank you.

01:04:01.920 You bet.

01:04:02.720 Brendan Carr,

01:04:03.420 FCC Commissioner,

01:04:05.640 back in just a second.

01:04:06.940 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:19.100 You know,

01:04:19.580 I'm not sure really

01:04:20.620 what the case is.

01:04:21.720 You know,

01:04:21.960 if all dogs go to heaven,

01:04:23.480 I'm a little skeptical

01:04:24.440 because,

01:04:25.060 you know,

01:04:26.460 my wife's dog,

01:04:27.660 I mean,

01:04:29.220 I don't even think

01:04:29.800 she was a good Christian

01:04:30.640 at all,

01:04:31.280 you know.

01:04:32.080 Anyway,

01:04:32.740 either way,

01:04:33.180 if you're a dog owner,

01:04:34.060 you have to make sure

01:04:35.020 that your dog

01:04:35.680 has a long

01:04:36.460 and healthy life

01:04:37.740 because there may not

01:04:39.860 be an afterlife

01:04:40.540 for dogs.

01:04:41.360 I think there is,

01:04:42.460 but,

01:04:43.220 and you have to have,

01:04:45.060 you know,

01:04:45.560 many,

01:04:45.840 many good years

01:04:46.440 for them to repent.

01:04:48.020 That's where

01:04:48.580 Rough Greens comes in.

01:04:50.240 It's not a dog food.

01:04:51.440 It's a supplement

01:04:52.220 that you sprinkle

01:04:52.820 on the food.

01:04:53.500 Dogs love it

01:04:54.080 because it tastes amazing,

01:04:54.860 but it has everything

01:04:56.580 in it that they need.

01:04:57.760 Vitamins,

01:04:58.240 minerals,

01:04:58.740 all the things

01:04:59.460 that are going to contribute

01:05:00.260 to a healthy life

01:05:01.480 for them

01:05:02.000 before they go

01:05:03.340 over the,

01:05:04.540 what is it,

01:05:51.500 What is

01:05:52.520 indecency

01:05:53.380 anymore?

01:05:54.940 Sincerely,

01:05:55.580 what is it?

01:05:57.060 I think

01:05:57.840 much of the stuff

01:05:59.160 that is being

01:05:59.780 poured into

01:06:00.500 our school

01:06:01.060 is absolutely

01:06:02.080 indecent.

01:06:03.540 Indecent.

01:06:05.080 And I think

01:06:05.980 the majority

01:06:06.820 of Americans

01:06:07.520 agree with that.

01:06:09.180 Now,

01:06:10.420 I'm just thinking

01:06:11.860 out loud here

01:06:12.620 because I think

01:06:13.400 this is impossible

01:06:14.240 to do.

01:06:14.900 We've been

01:06:15.360 battling with this

01:06:16.440 for a few weeks.

01:06:17.400 there is a story,

01:06:19.440 a book

01:06:19.920 that came out.

01:06:21.060 You might have

01:06:21.560 read about it,

01:06:22.240 but it went away

01:06:22.880 pretty quickly.

01:06:23.940 But this book

01:06:25.040 is in many

01:06:26.240 of the schools

01:06:27.200 all across the

01:06:27.980 country.

01:06:28.880 And I'm talking

01:06:29.940 grade schools.

01:06:31.440 And it is

01:06:32.340 absolutely

01:06:33.140 indecent.

01:06:34.780 Now,

01:06:35.180 I don't

01:06:37.780 want to

01:06:38.440 swear on

01:06:39.340 the air.

01:06:39.880 I don't

01:06:40.120 want to

01:06:40.600 be indecent.

01:06:41.900 I know

01:06:42.660 this audience

01:06:43.520 and I

01:06:44.380 know that

01:06:45.280 one of the

01:06:47.160 things they

01:06:47.520 like about

01:06:48.200 this program

01:06:48.800 is we

01:06:49.240 have,

01:06:49.680 I mean,

01:06:50.000 not the

01:06:50.300 highest

01:06:50.600 standards,

01:06:51.140 but we

01:06:51.400 have some

01:06:52.700 standards.

01:06:53.680 And so

01:06:53.880 they know

01:06:54.460 generally

01:06:55.480 what to

01:06:56.000 expect.

01:06:57.360 And indecency

01:06:58.360 and even

01:06:59.900 clinical

01:07:01.080 descriptions

01:07:01.680 of stuff

01:07:02.480 are not

01:07:03.660 things you

01:07:04.080 come to

01:07:04.540 this program

01:07:05.180 for.

01:07:07.140 However,

01:07:08.100 when this

01:07:09.900 story first

01:07:10.580 broke,

01:07:11.260 I really

01:07:12.640 thought,

01:07:13.520 I don't

01:07:14.460 care about

01:07:14.860 my FCC

01:07:15.380 license anymore.

01:07:17.980 And this

01:07:19.120 story has to

01:07:19.700 be told.

01:07:20.280 And then I

01:07:20.620 immediately

01:07:21.140 thought,

01:07:21.620 oh,

01:07:21.760 wait a minute.

01:07:22.260 It's not

01:07:22.660 just my

01:07:23.100 license.

01:07:23.540 It's every

01:07:24.280 license of

01:07:25.020 every talk

01:07:25.640 radio station

01:07:27.360 that carries

01:07:28.940 the show.

01:07:30.420 And it's

01:07:31.060 not only

01:07:31.640 that.

01:07:32.040 They may

01:07:32.720 not be

01:07:33.220 fined.

01:07:35.220 I think

01:07:35.720 they would

01:07:36.040 be.

01:07:36.480 They

01:07:36.740 wouldn't

01:07:37.040 be fined

01:07:37.880 alone

01:07:38.480 because they

01:07:39.620 carried this

01:07:40.140 program.

01:07:40.900 Each station

01:07:42.280 separately,

01:07:43.420 but also

01:07:44.760 they all

01:07:45.140 have to

01:07:45.460 renew their

01:07:45.920 license with

01:07:46.500 the FCC.

01:07:47.940 And if

01:07:48.640 things continue

01:07:49.300 to go the

01:07:49.720 way they

01:07:49.980 are,

01:07:50.820 this could

01:07:51.300 wipe out

01:07:52.100 what?

01:07:53.540 80,

01:07:54.160 85% of

01:07:55.380 talk radio.

01:07:56.600 They could

01:07:56.860 just lose

01:07:57.440 their license

01:07:58.140 and 85%

01:07:59.540 of the

01:07:59.820 stations that

01:08:00.360 do talk

01:08:00.940 radio,

01:08:01.520 gone.

01:08:02.040 They've

01:08:02.340 tried to

01:08:02.680 compete

01:08:03.120 with

01:08:03.400 conservative

01:08:03.780 talk radio

01:08:04.400 over the

01:08:04.800 years and

01:08:05.180 have failed

01:08:05.580 over and

01:08:06.020 over and

01:08:06.320 over and

01:08:06.600 over again.

01:08:07.000 What better

01:08:07.420 way to

01:08:07.860 just kick

01:08:08.480 them all

01:08:08.700 off the

01:08:08.940 air?

01:08:09.320 Yeah.

01:08:09.820 And they

01:08:10.260 would do

01:08:10.600 it.

01:08:11.040 And they

01:08:11.500 would

01:08:11.660 absolutely

01:08:12.220 do it.

01:08:12.720 I think we

01:08:14.000 just had

01:08:14.360 FCC

01:08:14.660 Commissioner

01:08:15.200 Brendan

01:08:15.580 Carr on

01:08:16.160 saying,

01:08:16.560 we have

01:08:17.000 exceptions

01:08:17.460 for newsworthy,

01:08:19.740 yada,

01:08:20.000 yada,

01:08:20.220 yada.

01:08:20.600 And by

01:08:20.800 the rules,

01:08:21.280 of course,

01:08:21.680 that's true.

01:08:22.440 And we

01:08:22.660 would have a

01:08:23.120 legal argument.

01:08:24.660 But when

01:08:25.700 they went

01:08:26.860 down this

01:08:27.380 road,

01:08:28.220 guess where

01:08:29.620 the liberal

01:08:30.660 people on

01:08:31.260 these commissions

01:08:31.860 would side

01:08:32.460 when they

01:08:33.360 had an

01:08:33.760 opportunity to

01:08:34.480 knock out

01:08:34.820 all of

01:08:35.200 conservative

01:08:35.600 radio at

01:08:36.080 the same

01:08:36.320 time?

01:08:36.660 Yeah.

01:08:37.220 It'd be

01:08:37.660 horrible.

01:08:41.500 terrible.

01:08:41.740 I wish it

01:08:42.220 was just

01:08:42.860 me.

01:08:44.860 Because I'll

01:08:45.420 come up with

01:08:46.060 some other

01:08:46.380 way to

01:08:46.800 talk to

01:08:47.340 you.

01:08:47.540 I mean,

01:08:47.720 I don't

01:08:47.980 want to

01:08:48.320 do this

01:08:48.640 by any

01:08:48.980 stretch of

01:08:49.320 the

01:08:49.420 imagination

01:08:49.940 because I

01:08:51.440 have a

01:08:51.780 great

01:08:52.220 relationship

01:08:52.760 and I

01:08:53.120 believe in

01:08:53.700 our local

01:08:54.140 stations.

01:08:55.040 I'm like,

01:08:56.060 I don't want

01:08:56.380 to get into

01:08:56.720 this.

01:08:57.000 I do a

01:08:57.340 lot of

01:08:57.640 things that

01:08:58.320 no one

01:08:58.860 else in

01:08:59.400 radio does

01:09:00.060 for local

01:09:01.020 stations

01:09:01.540 because I

01:09:03.000 so believe

01:09:04.440 in the

01:09:05.800 power of

01:09:06.700 radio and

01:09:08.000 the power

01:09:08.740 of local

01:09:09.460 stations.

01:09:09.960 We've got

01:09:11.020 to beef

01:09:11.580 them up

01:09:12.140 and help

01:09:12.740 them because

01:09:14.220 the truth

01:09:15.000 may only

01:09:15.480 come from

01:09:16.000 your local

01:09:16.420 station and

01:09:16.960 not from

01:09:17.320 national,

01:09:18.400 even voices

01:09:19.000 like mine

01:09:19.580 at some

01:09:19.920 point.

01:09:20.840 Yeah,

01:09:20.920 no,

01:09:21.040 it's true.

01:09:21.400 And of

01:09:21.740 course,

01:09:21.940 no one

01:09:23.000 wants to

01:09:23.500 go down

01:09:24.580 a road

01:09:24.920 where you

01:09:25.980 would be

01:09:26.380 able to

01:09:27.220 defend

01:09:27.720 yourself.

01:09:28.260 But when

01:09:28.480 you're talking

01:09:28.780 about 400

01:09:29.320 stations trying

01:09:30.300 to do it

01:09:30.560 at the same

01:09:30.900 time,

01:09:31.300 it'd be a

01:09:31.500 nightmare.

01:09:32.720 We've talked

01:09:33.280 about this

01:09:33.640 with other

01:09:34.480 issues.

01:09:35.180 The punishment

01:09:35.980 is the

01:09:36.400 process.

01:09:37.060 Yes.

01:09:37.400 They put

01:09:38.040 these stations

01:09:38.780 through hell.

01:09:39.960 Even if

01:09:40.620 they knew

01:09:40.880 they would

01:09:41.180 lose at

01:09:41.680 the end,

01:09:42.720 maybe a

01:09:43.580 court would

01:09:43.980 step up

01:09:44.460 eventually and

01:09:45.200 say,

01:09:45.420 okay,

01:09:45.640 guys,

01:09:45.980 obviously we

01:09:46.420 have a

01:09:46.700 freedom of

01:09:47.140 press,

01:09:47.620 we have

01:09:47.820 freedom of

01:09:48.220 speech,

01:09:48.580 there's no

01:09:48.960 way you

01:09:49.340 can possibly

01:09:50.020 do it.

01:09:50.360 It doesn't

01:09:50.640 matter.

01:09:51.220 That's two

01:09:51.720 years down

01:09:52.220 the road.

01:09:52.860 That's a

01:09:53.140 Supreme Court

01:09:53.740 case after

01:09:54.280 these stations

01:09:55.240 are,

01:09:55.620 half of them

01:09:56.120 are shut

01:09:56.460 down because

01:09:57.080 they've been

01:09:57.560 run through

01:09:59.700 the ringer

01:10:00.280 by the

01:10:02.020 left-wing

01:10:02.840 establishment

01:10:03.500 whose goal

01:10:05.160 is to make

01:10:05.660 sure that they

01:10:06.040 do not operate

01:10:06.780 anymore.

01:10:07.100 These stations

01:10:08.920 already have

01:10:09.380 enough to

01:10:10.180 deal with

01:10:10.640 without that.

01:10:11.680 This is the

01:10:12.240 one thing.

01:10:12.880 You have to

01:10:13.360 always,

01:10:14.120 when you're

01:10:14.540 standing up,

01:10:16.160 it has to

01:10:16.800 be an

01:10:17.160 individual

01:10:17.700 thing and

01:10:18.860 invite others.

01:10:21.260 You can't

01:10:21.780 impose your

01:10:22.920 cause on

01:10:23.880 others.

01:10:24.240 This is what

01:10:24.620 the left

01:10:24.960 does.

01:10:25.680 They just

01:10:26.240 impose their

01:10:28.000 cause on

01:10:29.060 you.

01:10:30.180 I might

01:10:31.380 want to

01:10:31.800 join your

01:10:32.260 cause,

01:10:33.120 but don't

01:10:34.580 just do it

01:10:36.200 and claim

01:10:36.920 I'm part

01:10:37.420 of it.

01:10:38.000 That's what

01:10:38.360 would happen

01:10:38.920 if you do

01:10:39.520 something like

01:10:40.300 this.

01:10:40.740 This is like

01:10:41.800 the mob.

01:10:43.320 The mob

01:10:44.040 says to

01:10:45.220 someone,

01:10:45.840 you own

01:10:47.380 that business,

01:10:48.260 you're going

01:10:48.720 to pay us

01:10:49.040 a protection

01:10:49.440 fee.

01:10:50.260 This is if

01:10:51.180 the mob

01:10:51.460 exists,

01:10:51.920 which it

01:10:52.120 doesn't

01:10:52.380 exist.

01:10:52.660 If it

01:10:53.540 did exist,

01:10:54.260 in the

01:10:54.820 movies,

01:10:55.320 this is what

01:10:55.640 happens.

01:10:57.240 None of

01:10:57.860 that is

01:10:58.200 real.

01:10:58.480 But if

01:10:59.340 it were

01:10:59.680 real,

01:11:00.520 you say,

01:11:01.060 hey,

01:11:01.160 you're going

01:11:01.300 to pay us

01:11:01.580 a protection

01:11:01.980 fee.

01:11:02.320 And they

01:11:02.680 say,

01:11:03.000 no,

01:11:03.260 I'm standing

01:11:03.760 up for my

01:11:04.240 rights.

01:11:04.500 And they

01:11:04.680 say,

01:11:04.860 okay,

01:11:05.120 well,

01:11:05.620 guess what?

01:11:06.560 You can

01:11:07.140 be strong

01:11:07.720 and you

01:11:07.940 can be

01:11:08.280 brave and

01:11:08.820 you can

01:11:09.080 maybe take

01:11:09.560 a bullet

01:11:09.940 if you

01:11:10.200 have to.

01:11:11.240 But just

01:11:11.960 so you

01:11:12.440 know,

01:11:12.740 before that

01:11:13.280 bullet that

01:11:13.740 you take

01:11:14.300 occurs,

01:11:14.980 you're going

01:11:15.500 to see

01:11:15.760 your family

01:11:16.360 get it.

01:11:18.000 You're going

01:11:18.480 to see

01:11:18.760 everyone around

01:11:19.440 you get

01:11:19.980 it.

01:11:20.600 You're going

01:11:20.900 to see

01:11:21.140 them pay 0.89

01:11:21.940 the price

01:11:22.460 for what

01:11:23.000 you're doing.

01:11:23.860 And that's

01:11:24.200 how they

01:11:24.500 come.

01:11:24.860 When we

01:11:25.340 always say,

01:11:25.820 like,

01:11:25.920 why don't

01:11:26.160 people stand

01:11:26.680 up more?

01:11:27.100 Well,

01:11:27.220 they're thinking

01:11:27.600 about their

01:11:28.020 families.

01:11:28.880 Yeah.

01:11:29.040 Look at

01:11:29.620 the Iranian

01:11:32.140 soccer team.

01:11:33.380 Yeah.

01:11:33.800 They all

01:11:34.320 sang the

01:11:34.820 national anthem.

01:11:35.720 You know

01:11:35.960 why?

01:11:37.000 Because their

01:11:37.500 families were

01:11:38.800 threatened.

01:11:39.500 Absolutely.

01:11:40.220 Threatened by

01:11:41.040 the Iranians.

01:11:42.060 And I got

01:11:42.380 news for you.

01:11:42.780 When they get

01:11:43.060 home,

01:11:43.500 God only knows

01:11:44.160 what's going

01:11:44.760 to happen.

01:11:44.800 God help

01:11:45.200 them.

01:11:45.900 God help

01:11:46.460 them.

01:11:46.800 You remember

01:11:47.200 what happened

01:11:47.680 to the soccer

01:11:48.180 team with,

01:11:48.900 where was it?

01:11:51.440 Saddam Hussein?

01:11:52.000 Iraq,

01:11:52.580 right?

01:11:52.800 Yeah.

01:11:52.940 I think he

01:11:53.960 killed them

01:11:54.280 all,

01:11:54.520 didn't he?

01:11:54.880 Or he

01:11:55.260 killed a lot

01:11:55.880 of them.

01:11:56.500 Yeah.

01:11:57.320 By the way,

01:11:58.400 German police

01:11:59.360 are now

01:11:59.820 raiding

01:12:00.380 anyone who

01:12:02.040 is a

01:12:02.980 suspect on

01:12:03.900 online hate

01:12:05.160 speech.

01:12:05.800 So we got

01:12:06.540 that going

01:12:07.000 for us.

01:12:07.900 We have

01:12:08.400 Senator

01:12:08.800 Whitehouse.

01:12:09.760 This is

01:12:10.140 the Democrat

01:12:11.200 from Rhode

01:12:12.140 Island.

01:12:12.540 He's a

01:12:12.900 senator.

01:12:14.460 He is

01:12:15.260 trying his

01:12:16.480 best to

01:12:16.960 make sure

01:12:17.260 that those

01:12:17.660 87,000

01:12:18.520 new IRS

01:12:19.160 agents put

01:12:20.400 him into

01:12:20.800 work because

01:12:22.140 he has

01:12:23.620 now we

01:12:24.060 have

01:12:24.580 through

01:12:25.100 FOIA

01:12:25.540 requests

01:12:26.280 his

01:12:28.080 letters

01:12:28.620 to the

01:12:29.760 IRS 0.92

01:12:30.260 saying

01:12:31.820 that

01:12:32.420 they

01:12:33.220 need

01:12:33.480 to

01:12:33.680 pull

01:12:34.080 the

01:12:34.620 501c3

01:12:36.940 status

01:12:37.580 from all

01:12:39.140 kinds of

01:12:40.140 conservative

01:12:40.740 outlets or

01:12:41.660 anyone who

01:12:42.380 is not

01:12:42.880 obeying the

01:12:43.580 mask policy.

01:12:45.400 Charlie Kirk's

01:12:46.080 organization was

01:12:47.100 one of them.

01:12:47.640 he specifically

01:12:48.820 said they

01:12:50.320 need to have

01:12:50.920 their 501c3

01:12:53.180 revoked.

01:12:54.120 He was

01:12:54.900 trying to

01:12:55.600 make what

01:12:55.980 happened with

01:12:56.540 Lois Lerner

01:12:57.280 into an

01:12:58.900 industry.

01:12:59.860 Remember Lois

01:13:00.820 Lerner?

01:13:01.220 She was the

01:13:01.740 one who was

01:13:02.360 just a low

01:13:03.160 level person

01:13:03.960 and she

01:13:04.320 decided to

01:13:04.920 take it on

01:13:05.480 her own

01:13:05.980 and hold

01:13:07.360 back those

01:13:07.980 501c3

01:13:09.060 statuses for

01:13:10.320 tea party.

01:13:11.360 okay and

01:13:13.160 she went

01:13:13.940 free because

01:13:14.420 she I mean

01:13:15.380 everything

01:13:15.680 happened to

01:13:16.100 be erased

01:13:16.680 you know on

01:13:17.660 on her

01:13:18.260 server.

01:13:18.960 That's the

01:13:19.680 worst luck.

01:13:20.720 Yeah well so

01:13:21.200 he is he's

01:13:22.400 actually in

01:13:24.480 in foyed

01:13:28.680 actually sending

01:13:29.620 them names

01:13:30.700 and saying

01:13:31.900 this person

01:13:32.820 should be

01:13:33.440 targeted this

01:13:34.480 organization

01:13:35.100 should be

01:13:35.800 targeted to

01:13:36.700 the IRS.

01:13:37.880 That's a

01:13:38.740 senator that

01:13:40.340 is doing

01:13:40.780 that.

01:13:41.360 I mean these

01:13:42.200 guys are

01:13:42.520 going to be

01:13:42.760 remembered at

01:13:43.420 Joseph McCarthy

01:13:44.140 at some

01:13:44.540 point.

01:13:46.480 Also while

01:13:47.340 we're here

01:13:47.880 Twitter

01:14:00.860 affecting

01:14:03.520 elections and

01:14:05.500 he is going

01:14:06.500 to release

01:14:08.360 all of the

01:14:09.400 information about

01:14:10.360 about how

01:14:11.460 Twitter affected

01:14:12.980 the elections.

01:14:13.920 Yeah I was

01:14:14.160 reading this

01:14:14.480 story today and

01:14:14.900 it made me

01:14:15.200 think because

01:14:16.140 we've joked and

01:14:17.680 commented on

01:14:18.460 why it why

01:14:20.960 does the left

01:14:21.860 hate Elon Musk

01:14:22.660 so much all of

01:14:23.420 a sudden he

01:14:24.280 legitimately

01:14:24.880 here's a guy

01:14:25.640 who's done

01:14:26.120 more for what

01:14:27.500 their view of

01:14:28.300 global warming

01:14:28.980 is than

01:14:30.460 anybody than

01:14:31.000 anyone else and

01:14:31.640 global warming

01:14:32.220 they say is the

01:14:33.120 greatest existential

01:14:34.220 threat to

01:14:35.020 humanity.

01:14:35.860 why on earth

01:14:37.440 would they

01:14:37.780 vilify this

01:14:38.920 guy?

01:14:39.420 Because they

01:14:40.280 know that

01:14:41.540 global warming

01:14:42.440 is not the

01:14:43.880 threat.

01:14:44.500 First of all it

01:14:45.400 shows exactly how

01:14:46.660 they feel about

01:14:47.160 global warming in

01:14:47.780 reality.

01:14:48.200 The same thing

01:14:48.720 revealed when we

01:14:49.840 talk about nuclear

01:14:50.540 power.

01:14:50.960 They don't

01:14:51.320 actually believe

01:14:52.040 any of this.

01:14:52.620 It's got nothing

01:14:53.260 to do with the

01:14:56.100 points that they're

01:14:57.080 actually making.

01:14:57.640 It's all about

01:14:58.180 power.

01:14:58.840 But beyond that

01:14:59.540 they know with

01:15:01.540 Elon Musk with

01:15:03.520 access to

01:15:04.360 everything that's

01:15:05.180 gone on at

01:15:05.800 Twitter which he

01:15:06.880 apparently now has

01:15:08.480 they know what

01:15:09.800 they're going to

01:15:10.080 look like.

01:15:10.660 They have to

01:15:11.160 turn the country

01:15:12.520 against Elon Musk

01:15:13.720 before this

01:15:14.560 information comes

01:15:15.460 out.

01:15:16.240 I don't know why

01:15:16.980 he's waiting to

01:15:18.200 put this out.

01:15:19.220 Well I mean I'm

01:15:20.220 sure it takes time

01:15:20.760 to gather.

01:15:21.440 He's only run the

01:15:21.980 he's also got a

01:15:23.000 company he's also

01:15:23.760 got like eight

01:15:24.280 companies to run.

01:15:25.540 He's got a he's 1.00

01:15:26.100 got a company

01:15:26.520 that's tunneling

01:15:27.200 under the earth

01:15:27.840 and releasing

01:15:28.420 flamethrowers and

01:15:29.740 putting chips in

01:15:30.980 your brain and

01:15:32.060 going to space.

01:15:33.280 Yeah.

01:15:33.500 He's got a lot of

01:15:34.060 he's a little

01:15:35.320 busy.

01:15:36.060 By the way did

01:15:36.720 you hear the

01:15:37.120 Neuralink thing

01:15:37.960 in human testing

01:15:39.640 now.

01:15:40.020 Yeah.

01:15:40.840 This is

01:15:41.660 King.

01:15:44.500 I know if

01:15:45.760 you're a long

01:15:46.180 time listener I

01:15:47.260 know 20 years

01:15:48.260 ago you thought I

01:15:49.420 was just a

01:15:50.660 babbling madman

01:15:52.720 when I would talk

01:15:53.520 to you about the

01:15:54.220 singularity and

01:15:55.760 talk to you about

01:15:56.360 what tech was

01:15:57.080 going to be like

01:15:57.840 10 years ago

01:15:59.960 same thing

01:16:00.780 five years ago

01:16:01.920 maybe you

01:16:03.060 started going

01:16:03.560 I don't know

01:16:04.380 I mean I

01:16:04.760 guess people

01:16:05.400 are talking

01:16:05.900 about it

01:16:06.340 two years

01:16:07.260 ago same

01:16:08.200 thing you

01:16:10.000 need to

01:16:10.560 understand the

01:16:11.380 singularity because

01:16:12.780 it's on our

01:16:14.000 doorstep and

01:16:16.300 that is through

01:16:18.080 Elon Musk and

01:16:19.260 Neuralink it's

01:16:20.280 going to be

01:16:20.620 heralded as a

01:16:21.300 great thing and

01:16:22.040 believe me as a

01:16:23.540 father of a

01:16:24.160 daughter who has

01:16:24.820 had strokes this

01:16:26.420 would change

01:16:27.520 her it would

01:16:29.020 make her probably 1.00

01:16:31.160 whole because

01:16:32.920 the problem with

01:16:33.860 strokes is the

01:16:34.840 pathways for

01:16:36.620 information if

01:16:37.800 you think of the

01:16:38.560 brain as a

01:16:39.460 roadmap there are

01:16:40.860 bridges that are

01:16:41.580 out and so it

01:16:42.860 takes longer for

01:16:44.000 information to go

01:16:45.060 from one place to

01:16:46.000 another and

01:16:46.400 sometimes it can't

01:16:47.380 get there at all

01:16:48.140 what Neuralink

01:16:49.820 promises to do

01:16:50.900 is to is to

01:16:53.580 bridge from one

01:16:55.700 part of the brain

01:16:56.560 to the other part

01:16:57.860 of the brain

01:16:58.460 electronically so

01:17:00.320 that it's

01:17:01.240 incredible it's

01:17:02.260 absolutely incredible

01:17:03.700 and has the

01:17:04.480 potential to be a

01:17:05.380 miracle if it

01:17:06.580 were to miracle

01:17:07.540 people if you

01:17:09.280 had a stroke you

01:17:10.860 could go back

01:17:12.200 the promise or

01:17:14.040 the hope is back

01:17:15.360 to where you

01:17:16.200 were before the

01:17:18.780 stroke I mean

01:17:19.960 that's that's

01:17:21.020 that's a miracle

01:17:22.660 however it also

01:17:25.040 will connect to

01:17:26.620 the internet and

01:17:28.640 it is Elon

01:17:30.060 Musk's way of 0.98

01:17:31.720 saying we've

01:17:32.580 got to come up

01:17:33.140 with something

01:17:33.740 fast and cheap

01:17:35.000 because this is

01:17:36.720 what the left is

01:17:37.800 going to do and

01:17:38.920 people want to

01:17:39.520 control and

01:17:40.640 there's got to be

01:17:41.380 something out

01:17:42.080 there that will

01:17:43.960 be a good

01:17:44.460 version of this

01:17:45.440 where if you want

01:17:46.140 to learn Spanish

01:17:46.920 you just download

01:17:47.820 it I mean it's

01:17:48.540 very matrix it's

01:17:50.460 here don't dismiss

01:17:52.180 this it's here

01:17:53.160 is Neuralink the

01:17:53.940 same as as an

01:17:55.000 AI because that's

01:17:56.420 what he's worried

01:17:57.060 about yeah it's

01:17:58.060 the beginning no

01:17:58.620 but Neuralink's

01:17:59.500 more like health

01:18:00.640 type reasons isn't

01:18:01.560 it no it's to

01:18:03.280 digitize the brain

01:18:05.400 for health reasons

01:18:06.920 okay but that's

01:18:08.220 step one the other

01:18:10.500 steps as it goes

01:18:12.020 links you to the

01:18:13.600 internet so you can

01:18:15.780 download and upload

01:18:17.200 information and

01:18:18.200 remember it's a pipe

01:18:19.680 in your head this is

01:18:21.200 when the this is

01:18:23.060 when the economic

01:18:23.780 forum says yes

01:18:26.320 we've lost some

01:18:28.220 privacy people know

01:18:30.520 what I'm doing know

01:18:32.600 where I am know

01:18:34.040 what I'm thinking

01:18:35.380 even what I'm

01:18:37.180 dreaming but it's

01:18:39.140 all worth it okay

01:18:40.400 that's what they

01:18:41.040 mean because you

01:18:42.760 will be the

01:18:43.500 government or these

01:18:44.580 institutions or

01:18:45.640 whatever will be

01:18:47.140 able to go into

01:18:49.040 your head and know

01:18:51.180 what you're thinking

01:18:52.180 because you're using

01:18:53.640 the backbone of the

01:18:55.180 internet to think

01:18:56.620 and research and it

01:18:58.740 can go into your

01:18:59.780 head and retrieve

01:19:00.820 dreams it's

01:19:02.500 extraordinarily dangerous

01:19:04.680 and think of the

01:19:05.400 targeted advertising

01:19:06.420 uses for this like

01:19:08.180 if every time I

01:19:09.040 think about Taco

01:19:10.040 Bell I get a

01:19:11.000 coupon from Taco

01:19:12.820 Bell do you I

01:19:14.540 mean or all the

01:19:15.380 times you don't

01:19:16.240 think about Taco

01:19:17.140 Bell and yet you're

01:19:19.180 thinking about Taco

01:19:20.980 Bell oh there can't

01:19:22.340 be more times I'm

01:19:23.080 thinking about Taco

01:19:23.680 Bell that's not

01:19:24.120 possible if you're

01:19:24.880 like most Americans

01:19:25.880 have you heard what

01:19:26.620 McDonald's is doing

01:19:27.460 yes oh my gosh I

01:19:28.780 want one I want one

01:19:29.780 yes anyway if you're

01:19:31.000 like most Americans

01:19:31.940 you could probably

01:19:32.700 spend a significant

01:19:34.060 amount of your time

01:19:34.860 just thinking about

01:19:35.840 how to make more

01:19:36.700 money or at least

01:19:37.480 save more money back

01:19:38.660 more than you

01:19:39.300 currently do nothing

01:19:41.140 is wrong with that

01:19:42.280 it's good to be aware

01:19:43.140 how your financial

01:19:43.860 house is holding up

01:19:44.900 and especially about

01:19:46.100 the business of trying

01:19:47.040 to make it more

01:19:47.660 secure especially in

01:19:49.040 this economy this is

01:19:50.880 where you need to

01:19:51.680 give American

01:19:52.240 financing a call if

01:19:53.400 you own a home let

01:20:07.360 with an extra 12

01:20:08.380 grand per year what

01:20:09.600 could you pay off with

01:20:11.500 an extra 12 grand a

01:20:12.880 year for over two

01:20:14.460 decades American

01:20:35.160 Glenn Beck

01:20:36.280 join the conversation

01:20:37.620 888-727-BECK

01:20:40.840 so I want to talk to

01:20:58.760 you a little bit about

01:20:59.320 this rail strike and I

01:21:00.540 don't know about you

01:21:01.120 but I mean I'm not

01:21:04.880 passionate about right

01:21:07.420 either side however

01:21:09.660 however I do think I'm

01:21:12.040 worried about the

01:21:12.440 consequences of it yeah

01:21:13.860 well I'm also I think

01:21:15.380 I'm actually if if it is

01:21:17.640 as is presented which I

01:21:19.000 don't believe anything

01:21:19.880 anymore but if it is as

01:21:21.760 it's presented these

01:21:22.860 train companies can't let

01:21:24.540 their employees have a few

01:21:26.340 extra days for sick

01:21:28.100 leave yeah I'm sure it's

01:21:29.140 more complicated I'm sure

01:21:30.380 it is too that is the

01:21:31.360 story from the media

01:21:32.120 correct oh I just don't

01:21:33.240 want him to have a sick

01:21:33.980 day yeah they interviewed

01:21:35.400 a guy who's like I'm at

01:21:36.620 home with the flu and I

01:21:37.540 have to use vacation time

01:21:38.740 and it's like all right

01:21:39.420 like obviously like that

01:21:40.620 shouldn't be the way it

01:21:41.360 is is that the only issue

01:21:42.580 that really so anyway so

01:21:44.300 I so I'm not passionate

01:21:45.460 about it because I don't

01:21:46.180 believe either side

01:21:47.220 however a couple of

01:21:48.980 things one the media

01:21:50.760 said Joe Biden solved

01:21:53.320 this right before the

01:21:54.460 election yeah so he got

01:21:55.180 all the election

01:21:55.720 benefits right pre

01:21:56.720 election benefits of

01:21:57.560 solving this crisis and

01:21:58.800 then we found out later

01:21:59.640 oh well yeah no that

01:22:00.980 wasn't real we actually

01:22:02.080 knew everybody in the

01:22:03.000 media knew but only

01:22:04.020 sources like us said

01:22:05.300 he didn't solve it he

01:22:06.600 just passed the buck

01:22:07.960 and it'll happen in

01:22:08.980 in December the the

01:22:12.020 other thing that is

01:22:13.320 quite concerning on this

01:22:15.760 is mr. most biggest

01:22:21.400 union supporter of any

01:22:25.520 president in the history

01:22:26.640 of the United States he

01:22:27.880 also bails out the

01:22:29.180 railroads all the time

01:22:30.760 okay so government money

01:22:31.960 is going to the business

01:22:33.180 of railroad is well he

01:22:34.840 can't get a few sick

01:22:35.840 days this guy is toothless

01:22:39.940 either completely

01:22:41.000 incompetent or something

01:22:42.420 else is going on uh yeah

01:22:44.660 and the media again the

01:22:47.420 biggest problem because

01:22:48.920 you don't know what a

01:22:50.040 rail strike would do to

01:22:51.480 you and the country back

01:22:53.120 program quick fashion

01:22:54.460 stew i'm starting to use

01:22:59.560 fitness equipment you are i

01:23:02.140 must be dying i must be

01:23:03.720 dying what because you're

01:23:07.100 actually exercising yes oh

01:23:09.040 my gosh it's the next thing

01:23:10.660 is death exercise is good

01:23:12.360 for you it doesn't cause

01:23:13.760 your death i don't believe

01:24:36.520 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:25:01.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:06.520 I gotta tell you, there's some science news that is absolutely mind-boggling that is out today.

01:25:14.520 I want to just take a break and just show you a glimpse of what we're dealing with and what's coming our way.

01:25:22.500 We do that in 60 seconds.

01:25:24.740 You ever find yourself just waiting for the other shoe to drop?

01:25:27.940 Sometimes I do. Yeah, sometimes.

01:25:30.520 Not a good place to be in.

01:25:32.860 The next crisis is right around the corner.

01:25:35.320 It's there. There's always something.

01:25:37.460 This is to remind you how important it is to have a supply of emergency food.

01:25:42.280 The best place to get that is from my Patriot supply.

01:25:45.420 We were just talking about the railroad strike.

01:25:47.640 Congress just passed a bill to force the unions to accept this deal.

01:25:53.880 It's going to go to the Senate.

01:25:55.340 Bernie Sanders says he's going to stop it.

01:25:57.260 I doubt he will.

01:25:58.180 However, if he did, really bad, really bad things.

01:26:04.140 You can't have a rail strike now.

01:26:06.460 It would shut the economy down.

01:26:08.600 How do you get your food?

01:26:10.280 It's not shipped in first on rail, then in trucks.

01:26:13.820 My Patriot supply is there.

01:26:16.060 May I highly recommend that we are so unstable now as a planet that it would be good to have, you know, four weeks emergency food.

01:26:24.400 Right now, you can save 25% on each four-week emergency food kit you need.

01:26:31.240 You'll get at least one for each member of your family.

01:26:34.580 Getting the food doesn't mean you're losing hope.

01:26:36.640 It means you're eliminating the fear and seeing your family suffer.

01:26:40.600 Once you have that out of the way, you don't worry about things.

01:26:44.440 You won't regret it.

01:26:45.860 Please go to preparewithglenn.com.

01:26:48.600 That's preparewithglenn.com.

01:26:51.440 Do it now.

01:26:52.540 Preparewithglenn.com.

01:26:54.640 So, Stu, there are two stories that I barely understand.

01:26:59.200 Let me start with the one that I really am a little foggy on.

01:27:03.900 For any mammal, the loss of the Y chromosome should mean the loss of males and the demise of the species.

01:27:12.440 However, the mommy spiny rat manages without a Y chromosome and is puzzled biologists for decades.

01:27:23.820 Now, a Japanese scientist and her colleagues have shown that one of the rats' normal chromosomes effectively evolved into a new male sex chromosome.

01:27:35.180 Now, I hate to get all science-y because I don't know how these rats identify.

01:27:41.400 I don't know any of their pronouns or anything else.

01:27:43.700 So, the reason why this is important is because the Y chromosome seems to be getting weaker and weaker in a lot of mammals, including man.

01:28:02.160 And once you lose the Y, then what happens?

01:28:07.880 You've only got females. 1.00

01:28:09.780 End of the species.

01:28:11.480 So, that's why they're looking into this because they believe that we are headed for the same kind of thing.

01:28:19.700 End of the species.

01:28:20.740 Yeah.

01:28:20.920 I mean, I guess, think of just all the car accidents.

01:28:24.380 Oh, my gosh.

01:28:25.140 Only women drivers? 1.00

01:28:26.560 It would be crazy.

01:28:27.620 Oh, my gosh.

01:28:28.440 And women presidents and CEOs.

01:28:30.140 Oh, gosh.

01:28:30.740 Just shut the thing down. 0.96

01:28:32.220 Lord, please come now.

01:28:33.740 Anyway.

01:28:35.500 So.

01:28:37.040 Stupid.

01:28:39.040 That was largely just to piss off Sarah and the other room.

01:28:41.560 Oh, it is.

01:28:42.900 Largely.

01:28:44.440 100%.

01:28:44.720 And, of course, the fact that it's true.

01:28:46.900 Right.

01:28:47.140 So, the next story is a quantum computer has simulated a wormhole for the first time.

01:28:56.420 Now, do you know what a wormhole is?

01:28:59.220 It's a space thing.

01:29:00.560 It's like a science-y space thing.

01:29:01.960 Okay.

01:29:02.260 So, it's like you take a piece of paper and you fold it in half.

01:29:06.240 Then you, I think, fold it again.

01:29:08.320 Okay.

01:29:08.700 And you put a little hole in it.

01:29:10.700 Okay.

01:29:12.720 You would see that there would be two holes in the piece of paper.

01:29:16.220 If you open it up.

01:29:17.220 It looks like a mask.

01:29:18.000 Okay.

01:29:18.440 With your eye holes.

01:29:19.280 In fact, it's almost the perfect mask.

01:29:21.440 Okay.

01:29:22.200 So.

01:29:22.800 And probably Fauci would have me wear this.

01:29:25.560 Anyway.

01:29:26.900 So, a wormhole is a way to collapse the distance in between those two holes.

01:29:33.300 Okay.

01:29:33.660 In space.

01:29:35.180 And then they are right.

01:29:36.840 You go through one hole and you're right there because they're next to each other.

01:29:40.560 Right.

01:29:40.940 Instantly.

01:29:41.560 If space is folded.

01:29:43.060 Okay.

01:29:43.500 So, that's the idea of a wormhole.

01:29:46.540 You could travel great distances through that quickly.

01:29:51.780 So, this has just been a theory.

01:29:55.520 Scientists with a quantum computer have just simulated a wormhole for the very first time.

01:30:03.880 Now, it gets very complex because they say it was a holographic, but it's not exactly a holograph.

01:30:12.020 They just simplified things by taking gravity out of the equation, which gets into Einstein and theory of relativity.

01:30:20.880 So, they had to have something that would take gravity out and see if they could simulate this.

01:30:26.480 Well, they did.

01:30:27.840 And what this means is you could have, without any wires, cables, Wi-Fi, nothing, you can take something digitally

01:30:40.920 and send it from, let's say, my desk to a desk in London and it would exist in both places.

01:30:51.480 And you could close one of the doors and it would either come back to me and only be here or I could close my door and it would be in London.

01:31:00.420 They just did this.

01:31:04.400 This changes everything.

01:31:07.640 This changes everything.

01:31:09.680 This is, you remember Einstein, when he was, they talked to him about quantum physics.

01:31:14.540 He said, God doesn't play dice.

01:31:18.060 Meaning, there is no super, there's no super position of a molecule or of, I don't even know, of a qubit, they're now called.

01:31:29.140 It can't be both positive and negative.

01:31:32.240 It can't be both one and a zero.

01:31:34.560 But quantum says, yes, it can.

01:31:37.060 That led him to say, God doesn't play dice.

01:31:40.700 It doesn't work that way.

01:31:44.480 Remember, the theory of relativity is only a theory.

01:31:49.180 It's the best theory we have on how things work.

01:31:52.400 Quantum comes up and says, I don't think the basic soup, I don't think it really goes with any of those physics.

01:32:02.500 I think it breaks down at some point and starts behaving completely illogically.

01:32:08.080 This shows that Einstein may have been wrong.

01:32:13.800 Maybe God is playing dice.

01:32:16.920 This, this, this, the things that we have on the horizon are so groundbreaking and just quantum computing.

01:32:26.080 Computing, all of this stuff, we'll change life in ways we, it's like we're standing in the 1200s and trying to imagine today.

01:32:38.300 But it's going to happen in the next 50 years.

01:32:41.320 Do we have any idea where this would end up?

01:32:43.340 Like, what would, what would be the end game of this type of technology if it, if it were to come to fruition?

01:32:48.080 Quantum computing is, you will, you will probably solve cancer in a week.

01:32:53.700 You will solve these problems that cannot be solved because it can model a million different things all at the same time.

01:33:01.680 So, remember, Edison said, you know, I didn't find a, I didn't fail a thousand times.

01:33:09.560 I found a thousand ways the light bulb doesn't work.

01:33:12.820 That will, you'll only fail, you'll fail and succeed one time because you'll try all of the combinations all at once.

01:33:25.620 And you'll have the answer.

01:33:27.700 It feels like there are so many things right now on the fringes of science, like where we are really, where scientists are, are, are playing, right?

01:33:38.460 They're, they're at the, the very edges of understanding where they can go, but see the path forward.

01:33:44.360 You know, some of these problems like this one are just beginning to be solved.

01:33:47.620 And there's so many different directions, whether it's, you know, we talked about the singularity or, or whether it's a quantum computing or all sorts of different technologies that it feels like one of these is going to hit in a way that totally changes the world almost immediately.

01:34:03.520 But in a way, let's, let's look at the telephone for a minute.

01:34:06.820 Put yourself back at Alexander Graham Bell's time.

01:34:10.340 Alexander Graham Bell comes up with it and people think, oh, this is great.

01:34:13.240 Look at this.

01:34:13.680 But nobody's going to have a telephone for a long time.

01:34:15.700 Yeah.

01:34:15.840 They say about everything.

01:34:16.820 Yeah.

01:34:16.980 And they think, oh, well, I'll just, right.

01:34:19.140 I'll just go to, you know, the town square that will have a telephone and I'll be able to call, you know, Washington if I needed to talk to the president because it was an emergency.

01:34:29.960 They were thinking like that.

01:34:31.380 They would have never thought, think of the phone today.

01:34:37.100 It's no longer cordless.

01:34:38.880 I mean, it's no longer a cord.

01:34:40.080 Right.

01:34:40.700 It, it, it doesn't work with right, with, with, uh, with wires.

01:34:44.740 It doesn't, it, it's a television.

01:34:47.020 It's a camera.

01:34:48.140 It, I mean.

01:34:48.700 It's no longer really even for phone conversations.

01:34:50.760 Right.

01:34:51.220 I mean, it's, and that's, I think a really interesting example of how this goes.

01:34:55.160 You think about the singularity for a second, right?

01:34:57.040 Singularity being eventually we merge with machines.

01:34:59.620 Tell me if this is a terrible description, but my very terrible understanding of it.

01:35:03.000 Eventually we merge with computers where we are able to access information instantly because we have maybe a chip in our head or whatever that allows us.

01:35:12.880 Right.

01:35:13.300 And we, we also have a nanobot technology in us, in our bloodstream that is keeping you alive.

01:35:19.680 You don't have to take medicine anymore.

01:35:21.220 The nanobots are programmed to take care of your body and it repairs itself through technology, which is connected to AI, a giant machine outside of your body.

01:35:33.220 Right.

01:35:33.320 So, you're one with AI, you're one with machines, you're a hybrid person.

01:35:39.140 Who is that?

01:35:39.520 That's the singularity.

01:35:40.580 That's the singularity.

01:35:41.920 So, if you think about, let's just say for information purposes, you want to get an answer about something.

01:35:48.740 In, in this world of the singularity, you want to, you know, know who was, you know, the president of France in 2004, right?

01:35:56.000 You, it would instantly, you'd be able to access that information instantly inside your brain, basically.

01:36:01.600 Yeah.

01:36:01.620 Right now you have to go to, to Google, open up Google and type in your question.

01:36:06.540 Right.

01:36:07.120 The singularity, the way it would be imagined to be used at its highest level would, oh, who was the president of France?

01:36:15.300 Oh, it was a so-and-so.

01:36:16.820 Right.

01:36:17.280 Okay.

01:36:17.520 The minute you think it, the answer is there.

01:36:20.700 Right.

01:36:21.180 Because you're connected to everything.

01:36:25.080 But in a way, what you're describing is essentially the same process, just faster.

01:36:30.780 Right?

01:36:31.400 Yes.

01:36:31.680 You are, right now, we have crossed a line to the point where, when we used to do, when we talked about this on radio terms before, radio used to be really fun.

01:36:42.560 Because what you'd be able to do is come on the air and you'd say, what was that movie with Corey Haim?

01:36:49.020 Remember this?

01:36:49.920 He was a guy and he, and he would go, do you remember, there's two Corey's in it.

01:36:55.000 What was that movie?

01:36:56.260 And then people would call in, they'd say, oh, it was Goonies.

01:36:59.380 No, no, it wasn't Goonies.

01:37:00.820 It was, and you'd go through this whole thing.

01:37:03.000 And you could do hours on this and people would reminisce about these memories and think about these things and try to figure them out.

01:37:09.560 And now, that's all dead because everyone just goes, Corey Haim, types it in and looks at his IMDB page and knows the answer in five seconds.

01:37:17.940 Right?

01:37:18.240 Correct.

01:37:18.860 And so, we have all...

01:37:20.380 Wait, wait, wait.

01:37:20.760 Before you move on from there.

01:37:22.420 What has that also done to our memory?

01:37:25.500 Right.

01:37:26.220 Terrible.

01:37:26.740 It's worse.

01:37:27.500 You don't even think about, I have to store that, or I remember, what's his name?

01:37:31.400 Oh, I remember, we were sitting in a room and it was so-and-so that said, okay, you don't do that.

01:37:37.780 So, your memory is weakened.

01:37:39.860 I see it with my kids.

01:37:41.120 When they want answers from things, they're like, who's, you know, what was the score of the...

01:37:46.760 They just ask the dumb device that I won't screw all the people by saying the name, but they'll ask the device, you know, without trying to think about it for an hour.

01:37:58.300 They just, they know the answers there.

01:38:00.100 And that's the same concept of what the singularity could theoretically become.

01:38:03.460 Right?

01:38:04.060 So, imagine if you're going to Italy and you want translation, you'll be able to understand them instantly because it'll be there.

01:38:14.660 The translator will be inside of you.

01:38:16.760 You'll probably butcher it because it requires your physical use of your mouth, but it will, you will know how that is supposed to be said and you'll say it.

01:38:28.500 But once that information is gone, you can't communicate in that language anymore.

01:38:33.800 If you're cut off.

01:38:35.580 Right.

01:38:36.400 You know, there's no memory of it.

01:38:39.460 Yeah.

01:38:39.660 There's memory that you did it, but there's no memory, there's no muscle memory, there's nothing.

01:38:44.260 And this gets to the point that, you know, think about being de-platformed now.

01:38:48.480 What does that mean?

01:38:49.140 Oh, I lose my Twitter account.

01:38:50.520 What does it mean if the singularity exists and you're de-platformed from all of this knowledge that everyone else can access immediately?

01:38:56.880 Oh, no.

01:38:57.060 Ray Kurzweil said that would never happen.

01:38:58.900 That would never happen.

01:38:59.740 That would never happen.

01:39:00.540 So, okay.

01:39:01.500 Why would we do that?

01:39:02.260 That's a totally different road.

01:39:03.760 When we think about the innovations that happen when these things kick in, we could talk about Alexander Graham Bell, but go back just a decade, right?

01:39:12.860 Go back to 2008, right?

01:39:15.600 Before the iPhone.

01:39:16.280 Before the iPhone.

01:39:17.000 We've gone from literally no one having these things, or maybe just for occasional phone calls, to the era where everyone expects to have, on these things, five, six hours a day.

01:39:29.680 We, we...

01:39:30.560 That is the merging of man and machine.

01:39:32.760 Already, it's already happening.

01:39:34.220 On the air, I said to you in the 90s that networks and watching shows is, it's not going to be Thursday night at eight o'clock.

01:39:43.200 It'll just, you just will log on and download it, and you'll have all the episodes that you want.

01:39:48.820 And that seemed completely insane.

01:39:50.300 Insane in the 90s.

01:39:51.440 Yeah.

01:39:52.040 And here we are.

01:39:53.000 We all now expect it as normal.

01:39:54.460 Nobody watches TV.

01:39:55.340 And really put very little thought into what it means or how.

01:39:59.400 Oh, no, wait a minute.

01:40:00.180 You sound like you're starting to make a point on this.

01:40:02.900 Yeah.

01:40:03.400 You know, hang on.

01:40:04.200 I just want to live in my fantasy world here for a second and not think about that.

01:40:08.840 Give me a minute, will you?

01:40:10.100 The Gold Line, I want to make sure you know about the perils of our current financial situation.

01:40:15.600 If you use history as a tool, look back and learn from history with the hope that maybe we can prevent the disaster from striking again.

01:40:23.880 Now, I don't think we can prevent the disaster, but we can do everything in our power to lessen its impact on us as individuals.

01:40:34.000 Please, I do not ever want you to take my...

01:40:37.120 Did you just hear the science lesson I gave?

01:40:38.760 Don't ever take my word as gospel.

01:40:41.860 I want you to do your own homework, but I want you to do it.

01:40:46.060 Please call Gold Line today and find out why I invest in gold and silver before the big boating accident where I lost it all.

01:40:58.400 But why I invest, why I buy old coins.

01:41:02.180 They have brand new coins.

01:41:03.800 They also sell old ones.

01:41:04.840 I buy the old ones.

01:41:05.620 Find out from Gold Line if it's right for you.

01:41:08.820 Please, even if you have very little money, silver is going to be really, probably really good.

01:41:48.220 Call Gold Line 866-GOLDLINE 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:41:53.240 10 seconds.

01:41:54.000 Station ID.

01:41:54.480 Okay, so we've changed now our, the way we live over the past decade, basically.

01:42:09.180 12 years.

01:42:10.280 14 years.

01:42:11.260 Yeah.

01:42:12.000 And to where you can't live without the smartphones, right?

01:42:14.760 Like it's almost impossible.

01:42:16.200 People basically don't do it.

01:42:17.460 And what we found, and the research is coming out now, what we found, what has happened in this period, is that people are spending much less time.

01:42:32.140 With each other.

01:42:32.580 With each other.

01:42:33.360 With their friends.

01:42:34.340 Much less.

01:42:35.020 The last study came out, and I found this to be an incredible number, that just over, you know, people had sort of slowly, maybe the time they were spending with their friends had dropped off a little bit before iPhones and such.

01:42:48.780 But since then, the number is 10 hours a week less with friends.

01:42:56.100 10 hours a week.

01:42:58.360 I think it's more than that with teenagers.

01:43:01.340 I bet it is.

01:43:02.140 I bet it's even more.

01:43:02.800 It's, it's, I mean, they don't even, they don't want to hang out with each other.

01:43:06.020 They sit next to each other and are on the phone texting one another.

01:43:09.860 Yeah.

01:43:10.140 They don't, I mean, even they're even alone when they're together.

01:43:13.200 Right, right.

01:43:13.840 Even when they're spending time together, they're on their phones half the time.

01:43:16.060 And it's like, you take that, that's a massive change.

01:43:20.020 It had been consistent for like a century in this data.

01:43:23.100 Going back, you know, decades and decades and decades.

01:43:25.140 People basically spent about the same amount of time with their friends over an incredible amount of time.

01:43:30.420 And then all of a sudden, like a decade ago, it just starts tanking.

01:43:34.020 And what does that do to society?

01:43:36.480 People are, are alone.

01:43:38.240 They are lonely.

01:43:39.760 Depressed.

01:43:39.980 They have less of a connection with their fellow man.

01:43:42.700 They are depressed.

01:43:44.300 And all suicidal much more often.

01:43:47.180 See, this is the problem that we have not had in this.

01:43:51.600 I mean, Stu, how long have I said this?

01:43:53.180 We have to have philosophical discussions now.

01:43:57.620 I've been saying that for 10, 15 years now.

01:44:01.560 Because it's going to, there's going to come a time.

01:44:03.900 Remember when they said, when Ronald Reagan said, there's going to come a time when there's no good options on the table.

01:44:08.140 And we're going to be in debt.

01:44:09.620 And they'll start to inflate the money and it'll be over.

01:44:11.820 Got to take care of it now.

01:44:13.160 Now, I'm telling you, within five years, if we don't have these intellectual, philosophical conversations, we're screwed.

01:44:22.200 We're screwed.

01:44:23.080 Because the things that are on the horizon will force you to redefine what life is.

01:44:32.460 Or stick with what you know today, which will be outdated and dusty.

01:44:38.400 The basic questions of life itself and humanity and decency and what is a slave, what is free choice?

01:44:49.920 Free choice by 2030, not as a concept, but as a realistic fact of life that you still make your decisions.

01:45:02.280 Even, you know, the way I go into prison and what I'm thinking and feeling, they'll never take that away.

01:45:09.020 That will be gone by 2030.

01:45:11.940 We better look ahead and say, which way do we want to go?

01:45:18.880 Because right now we're having giant corporations that are only in it for the money.

01:45:24.780 Governments, who are only in it for power, laying this road right in front of us.

01:45:31.080 And we're all like, yeah, that's great.

01:45:32.640 Hey, what's on TikTok?

01:45:35.600 Back in a minute.

01:45:45.520 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:45:47.120 So, Michael wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.

01:45:50.620 He says, Relief Factor helped to almost completely eliminate my elbow pain when I couldn't find any other solution.

01:45:58.060 It's a great product.

01:45:59.080 It's helped me with a lot of other aches and pains.

01:46:02.000 And since I started Relief Factor, I feel like I have more energy.

01:46:05.720 Generally, I feel better.

01:46:06.940 So, thank you.

01:46:07.760 Thank you for a great product.

01:46:09.320 Michael, thank you for writing in.

01:46:10.720 Relief Factor was developed by doctors to be able to reduce your pain through inflammation and not drug you out.

01:46:22.120 It's a major source of almost all of our pain and almost all of our problems in our body come from inflammation.

01:46:29.400 So, Relief Factor has four key ingredients that each work together with your body as it fights against the effects of aging, exercise, and everyday living.

01:46:38.400 I want you to get the three-week quick start.

01:46:41.880 70% of the people who try this and take us directed go on to order more month after month.

01:46:46.880 I'm one of them, and I didn't think it would work for me.

01:46:49.280 Relief Factor.

01:46:51.520 800, the number for relief.

01:47:18.460 Yeah, I know.

01:47:20.300 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:47:22.620 So glad that you're here.

01:47:23.880 I'm doing a podcast today that is going to be a don't miss.

01:47:27.180 There has been a spike in the number.

01:47:32.800 You know, Stu, you were just talking about all these things are changing, and we are not discussing the change.

01:47:42.140 We're just accepting it, and then we see the changes in our family.

01:47:46.540 We see depression go up, and we know what's causing loneliness, depression, comparing themselves to others.

01:47:54.220 We know what it is, but very few are willing to say, get it out of the house.

01:48:00.480 Yeah, very few.

01:48:02.500 I don't know of anything like that.

01:48:04.300 Maybe television.

01:48:05.940 But television was not nearly as destructive as this.

01:48:12.180 Would you agree with that?

01:48:12.900 I 100% agree with this.

01:48:14.200 100% agree.

01:48:14.740 And for some reason, even the zealots against this stuff, I'm not a technophobe.

01:48:20.060 No.

01:48:20.460 I'm not a Luddite.

01:48:21.980 I believe in all of this stuff, and I believe it can be used as good, but it has been spun so far out of control that it's destroying us.

01:48:31.680 It's destroying us.

01:48:33.060 And nobody's really having that conversation in a logical way.

01:48:36.780 Yeah, and we should also point out, especially for young people, one of the main things hitting them is not just the phone, but what's on it that comes directly from the Chinese Communist Party, by the way.

01:48:48.100 But also the things like there is a reason why five years ago, 15,000 children between the ages of 6 and 17 were diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

01:49:00.060 Last year, there were 42,000, and those are just the ones that have been officially diagnosed.

01:49:08.360 Okay, so five years ago, 15,000.

01:49:10.300 Now, 42,000.

01:49:12.240 20% of the population of millennials is now identifying as other.

01:49:19.320 So they're either gay, binary, furry, or whatever. 0.85

01:49:27.000 A pup handler.

01:49:27.840 A pup handler.

01:49:30.060 Who actually works in the White House.

01:49:31.580 But anyway, you have 20% of the next generation.

01:49:38.280 What's causing that?

01:49:39.840 Right.

01:49:40.100 Obviously, that...

01:49:41.740 Right.

01:49:42.460 Exactly.

01:49:42.900 What is causing it?

01:49:43.540 Because it's not that suddenly all these people have changed.

01:49:48.200 It's obviously outside influence.

01:49:50.780 I mean, people call it social contagion.

01:49:53.380 There's a bunch of different ways you can look at it.

01:49:55.580 But it certainly has...

01:49:57.100 It's moving so quickly and so ridiculously that it obviously has to do with technology and the things surrounding the influences that brings into your kid's life.

01:50:09.620 So my youngest daughter had a conversation with me, and this is the reason I'm doing this podcast.

01:50:17.140 I'm personally doing it.

01:50:19.040 I think it's fascinating for everybody.

01:50:20.980 But I'm personally doing it because I want to understand compassionate care.

01:50:28.940 We brought in a woman who is considered herself to be transgendered, and she went through surgery and everything else.

01:50:44.280 Had her breasts removed, everything. 1.00

01:50:47.040 Now she's 18, and she's like, good heavens, what have I done? 0.96

01:50:51.520 What have I done?

01:50:52.360 She wants to be a woman, but she can't. 0.99

01:50:56.240 She can't go back.

01:50:58.040 And this is happening a lot.

01:51:03.360 She was fine.

01:51:04.940 She gets an iPhone, I think, at 11 years old.

01:51:09.280 Within a couple of years, she's transgender. 0.89

01:51:12.380 She's convinced of it, that she's in the wrong body.

01:51:15.280 She's a man.

01:51:15.860 Our society is pushing this, and the doctors are pushing for the surgery, mutilation of people.

01:51:31.500 Last night, underage, last night she flew into town.

01:51:36.940 One of our bookers, Sarah, who, God bless her for all the work she does, it's like 1130 at night.

01:51:44.580 She's called, she has to find another hotel, because this hotel won't let him, her, in. 0.65

01:51:54.060 Why?

01:51:55.000 Hatred, right?

01:51:55.760 Right?

01:51:56.180 Hatred.

01:51:56.220 That we won't allow your kind of...

01:51:57.580 It is Texas, after all.

01:51:59.440 No.

01:52:00.300 It's that this hotel chain has a policy that until you're 21, you can't book a hotel room.

01:52:09.560 You're not adult enough to stay in a hotel room by yourself.

01:52:17.840 You have to be at least 21.

01:52:21.360 So, the girl who could become a boy and have dramatic, traumatic surgery couldn't stay at that hotel.

01:52:33.620 We had to find a hotel that would allow her to stay.

01:52:39.380 You can't rent a car.

01:52:40.640 That's nuts.

01:52:41.480 You can't drink.

01:52:43.740 You can't do any of these things, but you are allowed to have surgery that's irreversible, that will, I mean, as she, I believe, is going to attest to, just hurting and destroying her life.

01:52:57.820 Oh, she is. 0.88

01:52:59.600 I mean, that's absolutely incomprehensible.

01:53:01.300 She, I have so much sympathy for her.

01:53:02.660 So, this conversation I had with my daughter, and this is my 16-year-old, and brainwashed.

01:53:09.880 I mean, this happened in my family.

01:53:11.580 And so, you know, in my family, I mean, you've been around, we, A, joke really hard with each other.

01:53:17.900 Yeah.

01:53:18.940 And there are no limits in our own family.

01:53:21.860 There's no limits on jokes.

01:53:23.220 We just go for it.

01:53:24.060 Oh, yeah.

01:53:24.320 That's definitely true.

01:53:25.080 Yeah, and we also talk about everything.

01:53:30.340 And so, they're very well aware.

01:53:32.960 And my daughter said, Dad, she's a he. 0.99

01:53:39.260 And I said, no, she claims to be a he, but she's not a he. 0.75

01:53:45.540 And we were talking about somebody young, okay?

01:53:47.760 And I said, you can't just call yourself something and become it.

01:53:54.920 And there is science involved.

01:53:58.140 Remember, follow the science.

01:53:59.560 This is science.

01:54:01.180 A woman can have a baby. 1.00

01:54:04.600 A man cannot. 1.00

01:54:06.980 A man who claims he's a woman cannot have a baby.

01:54:12.040 A woman who claims she's a man can have a baby, okay? 1.00

01:54:18.340 But just because you claim doesn't make you that thing.

01:54:23.380 And she said, and I don't mean that thing like, you know, that thing.

01:54:27.180 I mean, that whatever it is you're claiming, I'm a bear, I'm a deer, I'm a shoehorn.

01:54:31.120 It doesn't make you that, okay?

01:54:33.120 And she said, where is your compassion?

01:54:39.080 And I said, where is my compassion?

01:54:41.720 What do you, what do you, what do you talk, where is my compassion?

01:54:44.980 What are you talking about?

01:54:46.020 Is she needling you here?

01:54:47.620 No, she was sincere.

01:54:48.840 She's really a sensitive soul.

01:54:52.140 Yeah.

01:54:52.360 And she feels people's pain.

01:54:54.420 It's a great quality.

01:54:56.140 Sure.

01:54:56.240 She needs to be, you know, she's not at the point yet to where she can separate compassion from reality and making sure that you're compassionate and you're still doing the right thing that's good for the individual and society.

01:55:14.400 Yeah, truth, you know, doesn't always have empathy.

01:55:17.540 It doesn't mean you can't have empathy as well.

01:55:19.460 That's what I said to her.

01:55:20.240 But you still need to acknowledge the truth.

01:55:21.020 We talked about, and that's why I brought up the science part.

01:55:23.800 I said, honey, the truth might be cold.

01:55:28.480 Science is cold.

01:55:31.700 Empathy is so warm.

01:55:34.640 But there comes a time when you have to mix the two and you have to find your way.

01:55:41.160 Where is that edge?

01:55:42.300 So, one of the things I want to ask for her, was this compassionate care when you were 14 years, 15 years old?

01:55:52.040 Yeah, affirming care.

01:55:53.400 Yeah.

01:55:54.000 Was this affirming care?

01:55:56.140 And what would compassionate care look like?

01:56:01.440 What do you wish that somebody would have stood up and went, no, no, no, no.

01:56:07.420 No, no, no.

01:56:08.420 Or yes, yes, yes.

01:56:09.720 Or whatever.

01:56:10.180 Or what should people have done?

01:56:14.180 What would have made a difference?

01:56:15.320 Yeah.

01:56:15.400 Because, I mean, obviously, treating people terribly is not going to work.

01:56:19.080 Calling them names is not going to work.

01:56:20.700 No.

01:56:21.160 Nothing works unless you – and this is what I really dislike from some Christians. 1.00

01:56:29.720 Some Christians are like, okay, here's what we're going to do.

01:56:34.300 We're going to go meet that person and, you know, let's talk to them, befriend them, and then they'll come to Christ.

01:56:40.300 What?

01:56:41.580 Stop.

01:56:42.180 I mean, you said that in a scary voice.

01:56:43.980 I mean, the idea of befriending someone and bringing them to Christ.

01:56:46.300 Befriending someone is different.

01:56:49.340 Befriending someone is different.

01:56:50.880 You can't –

01:56:51.440 You're saying it's an illicit way.

01:56:53.160 Well, you don't want to – my goal is to bring you to Christ, so I'll be your friend.

01:56:58.620 No.

01:56:59.020 I'll be your friend, and maybe you'll see that your life has all kinds of problems that my faith solves.

01:57:09.120 It can help, right.

01:57:09.780 It can be part of a friendship.

01:57:11.400 Right.

01:57:11.660 It's not like – it's like saying, I want to be friends with you because I've got a new multi-level marketing berry scheme where I want to send you some berry juice.

01:57:20.280 And if I choose not to become, you know –

01:57:22.900 A berry juice salesman.

01:57:23.520 A berry juice salesman.

01:57:24.620 Then I'm no longer your friend.

01:57:25.920 Right.

01:57:26.280 That's the problem.

01:57:27.320 Right.

01:57:27.620 Right.

01:57:27.740 So – but if you love the person – and, you know, I just had this realization – my – my – my family is just way under attack right now.

01:57:47.680 And I told my – I told my son a couple of weeks ago, you know the problem with children?

01:57:55.300 And he was like, no.

01:57:58.900 And I said, the problem with children is as a parent, you can never stop loving them.

01:58:05.740 And he went, what?

01:58:06.940 And I said, you'll understand someday.

01:58:08.800 And he will.

01:58:09.700 Yeah.

01:58:10.000 And he will.

01:58:10.920 You – no matter what, you cannot stop loving them.

01:58:14.920 You can try, but you really love your – I mean, maybe they're a murderer, but you really – and they murdered your wife, and you loved her.

01:58:23.620 There's a lot of caveats here.

01:58:24.760 But you just don't stop loving your children.

01:58:27.740 You might be pissed at them.

01:58:28.780 You might be angry.

01:58:29.580 You might be really like, I don't want to see you right now.

01:58:32.440 But you will always love them.

01:58:35.140 And that's how – that's how God works.

01:58:38.680 God works and see, stands there, and he's just like, don't do that.

01:58:42.160 Don't do that.

01:58:43.220 No, no, no.

01:58:43.580 When you do that, this consequence is going to come from that.

01:58:47.300 And then you do it.

01:58:48.500 And he's like, shouldn't have done that.

01:58:51.240 And he's not mad at you.

01:58:53.660 He hurts for you.

01:58:55.280 Why would you do that?

01:58:56.200 This is only going to cause you so many more – stop making the same decision.

01:59:00.800 No, no, stop making that decision.

01:59:02.480 No, it's going to hurt more.

01:59:03.960 Stop making that decision.

01:59:04.980 Okay.

01:59:05.420 All right.

01:59:07.300 And once you get it, he's there and loves you.

01:59:12.940 That's how we need to be with everybody.

01:59:16.100 Okay.

01:59:16.320 Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.

01:59:17.380 No, no, don't, don't do that.

01:59:18.520 Really, it's not that hard.

01:59:20.360 It's really – it's pretty easy if you just – no, okay, don't.

01:59:22.860 Okay.

01:59:23.160 You just did that.

01:59:23.960 All right.

01:59:24.440 Okay.

01:59:25.440 Yeah.

01:59:25.660 It's about two.

01:59:26.440 What works, right?

01:59:28.400 Like, what, what can make a situation like you're talking about, a teenager that goes

01:59:31.880 through some sort of social media conversion to be, you know, to believe that they're

01:59:36.060 transgender and goes through terrible, painful, you know, surgeries and all these things.

01:59:41.320 How do you, how do you stop that from happening?

01:59:43.220 It's like the fetus truck people.

01:59:44.820 You know, every time, every year at the Super Bowl, the fetus truck drives by and it 0.99

01:59:48.040 drives by and it's got a bunch of giant pictures, pictures of fetuses that have been,

01:59:52.480 you know, you know.

01:59:53.640 Doesn't work.

01:59:54.040 They're disemboweled on the side and it's like, it looks awful and I recognize that

01:59:58.060 that's part of why abortion is bad, but it doesn't change minds. 1.00

02:00:02.040 It's just people go, oh, look at that jerk in the fetus truck. 0.95

02:00:05.040 Rafe and I went to a Cowboys game, okay, just a couple of weeks ago and this guy was standing

02:00:10.080 in front of the stadium with a big, you know, speaker and microphone and he was like, you

02:00:16.240 don't turn to Christ right now.

02:00:18.700 You're going to hell.

02:00:20.500 You will burn into fires of hell.

02:00:22.640 And I said to Rafe, wow.

02:00:24.040 I really want to go to church right now.

02:00:25.760 Don't you?

02:00:26.820 I mean, it doesn't work.

02:00:28.300 It doesn't work.

02:00:28.940 You have to love people and have compassion for them and then just quietly state the truth.

02:00:37.920 Yeah.

02:00:38.260 I'm not going to go there.

02:00:39.380 This is going to hurt if you do this.

02:00:41.540 Don't do this.

02:00:42.060 A lot of times people think, well, if I'm yelling with the microphone off of the fetus

02:00:46.980 truck, like in some ways, because you feel so justified in a correct position here that

02:00:55.060 it feels good for you.

02:00:56.660 And a lot of times you're doing those things because it feels good to you to be able to

02:01:00.120 be on the right side of this issue.

02:01:01.360 If your goal is actually to help other people recognize what might be very, very true in

02:01:06.080 these important circumstances, you have to think about approach.

02:01:09.680 Just being a badass and coming out and saying the most difficult things and screaming at

02:01:14.000 people in their faces isn't always the best solution.

02:01:16.440 Okay.

02:01:17.300 That podcast, by the way, is going to be released tonight.

02:02:33.080 The Glenn Beck Program.

02:02:34.560 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

02:02:56.140 We're just playing this music because I really want to hack the mullahs off by playing Christmas 1.00

02:03:03.680 music and then talking about the team from Iran and their families.

02:03:12.240 And I wonder if we'll ever find out what happened to them when they got home.

02:03:19.060 Can you imagine going back home knowing that you were defeated by the great Satan and, you

02:03:26.920 know, in the eyes of the authorities?

02:03:30.140 And you didn't you didn't want to mess up at all because your your family was under threat of you better sing the national anthem and be patriotic.

02:03:42.400 Otherwise, we torture your family.

02:03:44.680 Oh, my gosh.

02:03:45.700 I can't imagine it.

02:03:46.740 I also think we that's for that reason.

02:03:48.740 We should have thrown the match and let Iran win. 1.00

02:03:51.500 And I have to tell you, it was because I don't care about soccer.

02:03:55.700 And so I don't have any negative consequences from that at all.

02:03:58.360 I tell you, I followed that.

02:04:00.340 It was great to just tie with the Brits.

02:04:03.700 I loved a frisky zero zero tie.

02:04:06.620 I know.

02:04:07.000 I know.

02:04:07.220 I didn't I didn't watch it, but it kind of felt good that, you know, here we are, the losers of soccer in the world.

02:04:13.200 We're like, oh, yeah.

02:04:14.560 Oh, you tied.

02:04:16.160 Oh, you lost to us.

02:04:18.460 I mean, it was it's not exactly, you know, the miracle on the ice.

02:04:22.740 No, but I mean, it was maybe the miracle on the way to the mailbox.
