Okay, here's what we know about the loyalists and what's going on in Syria. There are still a lot of Assad loyalists in the traditional strongholds within the country.
Assad's been overthrown. He was overthrown by some people that are not really actually our good friend.
In fact, the guy who's now saying he's president, he's better known as Al-Juani. He went to join Al-Qaeda during the Iraq war.
He's buddies with Zerkawi, Al-Zerkawi, the Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq. He led the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria during the Syrian civil war.
He's not credible. He's a terrorist.
Okay, so now that we have that out of line, one more thing. Assad was a really bad guy.
Wait a minute, Glenn. There's got to be one of the the two I just live in this world of black and white there's no third option no there is both of them suck kind of like Zelensky and Putin which one do you love I don't love either of them but you have to to pick one of the two.
No, they both suck. All right, so here's the thing.
The Assad and his family, they were Alawite. They were minority, traditional Assad loyalists, all of them, but they're not real diehards, and there are Christians living in these areas as well.
The terror group that now runs the country is moving into those areas, and they're clashing with the loyalists. The people getting caught in the middle are Christians.
Okay. Now, I'm sure that the killing is more than random.
They hate Christians, and anybody else that doesn't agree with them, they're forcibly meant to convert. What? Convert or die, kind of an old story in the Middle East.
And I'm mentioning the loyalists here and the connection to Assad in the past to show you that it's more complicated than some of the social media posts that came out this weekend, but it's still a very big problem. But the presence of the remaining loyalists doesn't take away from the civilian deaths because they're just slaughtering these people.
They're just slaughtering them. Okay.
Many are, if not all, are minority groups like Alawites and Christians. But, you know, this is the thing you do.

I guess if you're a Muslim, Islamicist, you know,

you were once with Al-Qaeda,

I kind of think you're always with Al-Qaeda.

And this is the way they did it.

They persecuted the Christians during the Syrian Civil War.

And, you know, now they're saying, we're so inclusive.

No, no, no, we'll cut anybody's head off. Okay, that's accurate.
There you go. And whenever this happens, bad people gain power and Christians lose their heads.
They were Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria. So no matter what they say to the international public, you know, we're all for inclusion, new future, diversity, blah, blah, blah.
Do you really think the former leader of the Syrian Al Qaeda group is all about diversity? no, no, he's seriously.

Oh, he's a big DEI guy.

No, he's a big D-I-E guy.

So we know where this is eventually going to lead.

And then you add the sectarianism in Syria.

It goes back to the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

I love all the Ottoman Empire talk.

It's so sexy. Oh, you could talk to me about the Ottoman Empire all night.
I had one at the end of my grandfather's chair once. The left's Arab Spring is the latest version of what we're doing.
And it's impacting the former Al-Qaeda group that is now running Syria. It's so, you know, HTS.
They're the people running. But the Assad family, the Alawites, they would have never gotten any power if it wasn't for the French.
Oh, it's a Sykes-Picot. Oh, you know what's better than talking about the Ottoman Empire? The Sykes-Picot compact.
Oh, yeah. Oh, that agreement was so sexy.
In modern times, here's what we keep doing, and this is what we all have to learn from, all right? We are now living in a progressive era and have for the last hundred years. Let me ask you something.
How have things been going in the last last hundred years well they were great we had world war one and then world war two okay okay all right might want to tell you something what started world war two again it was hitler i know hitler was the thing that we all look at and go very bad. And again, he was very bad.
But how did he become the guy that everybody in Germany loved? I remember Woodrow Wilson and his giant peace picnic in the back of a train car in France.

That's how it happened.

Okay?

It all comes back to Woodrow Wilson.

So this is the same thing over and over and over again.

And the thing we have to realize, Assad, not good.

Not good.

Why?

Why was he the guy?

Because we, as in the West, put him there. Why would we do that if he was such a bad guy? Because we like bad guys in the Middle East.
We like sectarians that are looking and saying, I got to what I'm going to do is I'm going to keep everybody unbalanced so the West can have their way. That's what happened.
And that's what's happening again. We used to like people like Assad.
I never did. Not a good thing.
We used to like people like Assad until what? Until we got Obama and then Clinton and then Biden. That's why we keep doing this over and over and over again.
You know, I got to tell you, I wanted to get, I wanted to do some real sexy talk about the Ottoman Empire and then I just got sidetracked. I just got sidetracked I'm sorry hit the porn music because this oh no I'm gonna I'm about I'm taking you back to 1915 oh yeah baby the young Turks mmm they were so hot they were drunk on power and you know what happens then, they kill 1.5 Armenian Christians, 1.5

million. That's usually what happens.
And then the porn kind of goes bad. All of a sudden, you're like, wow, there's a lot of dead bodies around here.
Yeah, well, that's progressive pornography for you. Men, women, children marched into the desert, starved, beaten, and then slaughtered.
But just 1.5 million Christians.

Why?

Because they wouldn't

bend the knee to the regime that demanded their souls. Let me give it to you in today's language.

Islamists versus Christians. I think I've seen this movie before.
Yeah. Now, history calls it

the Armenian Genocide.

The Turks don't.

They're like, genocide?

What are you talking about?

The United States won't even call it that.

But it's a real scar.

It's a lesson.

And this one, I don't care if the history book writes it this way,

all kind of etched in blood there in the desert.

Now, fast forward to the 1930s

what happened is he going to talk about the nazis again he just loves the nazis nazi germany rises who becomes the target jews six million jews snuffed out not because of what they did but because of who they were hitler said he knew he could listen carefully he knew he could get away with it because the world didn't care when the turks tried to kill all of the christian armenians wait a minute that might be something we should avoid it It happens over and over and over again. Power shifts, ideologies clash, and then who pays the price? The innocent.
Go back at Syria, December 2024. Assad falls, and this new guy, the HTS group led by Abu Muhammad Al-Jawani I love that guy

who doesn't think that Abu would be a great guy wasn't he wasn't he in that cartoon with Robin

Williams no that was the monkey the world was cheering for a moment. Oh, this is great.
The tyrant's gone. Yeah, yeah.
And then he pulls out his big sword. Okay.
The executions. First ones, 13 dead, maybe 58.
13, 58. Who's really counting? Then last week, 311 Alawites.
And they're saying now a thousand Christians. We don't know.
We don't know because who's telling the truth? Who actually is telling the truth? Because it seems like there's a lot of bad people involved on all sides. But here's what's not new.
Here's what we can confirm. Killing.
Lots and lots of killing. It's not new.
Same playbook. When Islamists take over, ISIS, Boko Haram, now HTS, pattern repeats.
Christians, Yazidis, minorities, given a choice, convert, run, or die. Now, let me paint you a picture from the last five years.
Nigeria, Boko Haram, they killed over 12,000 Christians since 2020. Did you know that? Did you know that? 12,000 Christians since 2020.
I know, but we had Joe Biden. It was almost as bad.
No, no, I don't think it was. Don't think it was.
They kidnapped thousands more kids, girls as young as 12. They're now slaves, being raped every day, forced into marriages they didn't choose, but Allah said they had to get married.
In Iraq, post-ISIS, the Christian population has gone from 1.5 million to under 200,000. How'd that happen? Syria's own Christians, once a million strong, down to 300,000, and that was before the latest chaos.
Now, here's what's crazy. All of these people that are being murdered and being chased out, I'm not hearing about those people being accepted in Europe.
Because I know it's refugees, but the only refugees I ever really hear about are the ones whose leaders are chopping Christians' heads off in the Middle East.

So why are they the ones we're accepting and not the Christians

that are actually losing their heads?

I don't know.

In 2021, 5,621 Christians were killed worldwide for their faith,

most under Islamic hands.

It's not a statistic. This is becoming a growing graveyard now.
So what happens when these groups take over? Killing. You know,

we have the Nazarene fund. You know what that's from? The Arabic N for Nazarene.
They would put

that on the doors of anybody who believed in Jesus. You'd pay a tax, you'd convert, or you'd

Thank you. Arabic N for Nazarene, they would put that on the doors of anybody who believed in Jesus.
You'd pay a tax, you'd convert, or you'd die. Churches have been burned, crosses torn down, families torn apart, slaves, actual slaves.
Oh, come on. In the 1850s, I would have been on the right side of that.
What are you doing now? What are you doing now now sold in markets just like the dark ages just but not as bad as it was in south carolina yeah yeah just as bad just as bad but i know i know your friends they all would be fighting against that right now, except they're not. Here is the thing that you really need to know about this.
Whether it is after World War I or Obama, Biden, Hillary, hey, do we have that classic Hillary thing? Because let me just give you this. So Obama gets in and he's like, hey, the Arab Spring, his USAID gets together with Facebook and they start to plant the seeds of the Arab Spring.
When that one was done, because it was so spontaneous then they decided let's overthrow Libya and

remember remember what Hillary said we came we saw he died oh it was so funny when they were dragging

his body through the streets that was a bad guy but what's happened since oh I remember

Benghazi because Benghazi we started arming the people so you know they could get who they saw

Thank you. Oh, I remember Benghazi.
Because Benghazi, we started arming the people so, you know, they could get who they saw after they came in and he died. So they armed.
And then we didn't want them to have their arms anymore. That was really dangerous.
We got to get them to the people who are going to help us in Syria. The people who are now in charge of Syria.
You know, the ones killing the Christians. Yeah, yeah, that's what happened.

And Joe Biden doubled down.

They were telling us that these guys are good guys.

They weren't good guys.

We have a monster.

Regime changers come in and then they're like, oh, need a new monster and so they find a new monster all of it it ends in violent extremists every single time they get power a new monster arrives rinse and repeat that's what's happening and that's why we've got to end the policies that we have been on for the last 100 years. More in just a second.
First, somewhere in Israel right now, there's a Jewish woman standing alone, staring at her empty cupboard. Meanwhile, somebody in Texas, there's a Christian donating to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
A donation that becomes a hot meal, a blanket, a lifeline for that woman who's standing alone right now. In the Holy Land, the birthplace of the Jewish and Christian faith, there is a fight happening right now.
It's a fight for what's right, what's decent. It's a fight for the very existence of the Jewish people and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the front line of that fight.
Last year, the generosity of people like you provided over 2 million meals to impoverished families and emergency aid to the

regions of Israel that have been torn apart by the war with Hamas and Hezbollah. I don't know which one of those is good.
Neither of them. The need hasn't stopped.
Neither has the sacred mission of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Give a gift to bless Israel and her people right now.
Support ifcj.org. That's just one word.

Go to support ifcj.org or call 888-488-IFCJ. 888-488-IFCJ.
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. 10 seconds.
Station ID. You know, I want to remind you that there is something you can do besides just be involved politically.
Mercury won. I was on the phone with these guys all week and the Nazarene Fund all weekend.
We're there in Syria and we have been moving people to safety. And it's a really dangerous job.
We are in places that are so dangerous. I will never tell you where we are until someday I write a book about what was done in these days.
But we have people every day risking their lives to save Christians and people who are persecuted minorities. And you have saved, I don't have the actual number, but if you include the, what is it, 20,000, 22,000 in Afghanistan, we're over 30,000 people that we have moved to safety, maybe closer to 40,000 people.
I mean, you've done a remarkable thing, but you're the one that runs toward the fire, not away from it. Nazarene Fund, Mercury One, they're already on the ground in Syria.
They're ready to go. We have the people.
We have the contacts. Believe it or not, they have the courage.
I don't, they do. We just need the fuel and your help.
Um, if we don't, it's going to turn into another Rwanda. It's really bad.
Please pass this on to your pastor or whoever that you know might care and can help. Uh, I want you to just go to, um, mercury one.org, mercury one.org.
I don't know which thing. You could just give it to the general fund.
I don't know. Or you can go to nazarenefund.org.
Either one of those. They're both working.
Nazarenefund.org is probably the one that's going to really be helping the Christians in Syria and persecuted minorities. That's their only mission.
So either one, mercuryone.org or nazarenefund.org. This is Glenn Beck.
All right. So we don't have all the results in for 2025, but there's some early indications of violent crime is going down in America.
It's almost as if there are a bunch of new criminals just appearing out of the woodwork every day, and then someone came along and stopped them. What happened there? Anyway, while the good news is that it's going down, bad news is all it takes is one encounter.
You could lose your life. You could lose somebody close to you.
It's not worth the risk. So what do you do? You arm yourself, right? We have the Second Amendment for several reasons.
Self-protection is one of them. I'm a guy who carries a gun, and I believe in my wife carrying a gun.
But what about an encounter where the attacker doesn't have to pay with his life? They do exist. In those moments, you really would probably rather have a burner launcher because you shoot somebody and your life is going to be hell for the next year, maybe two years.
It looks like a gun, but it fires nonlethal rounds, either projectiles or tear gas pellets. Either one's going to stop an attacker in his tracks long enough to get to the police.
It's legal in all 50 states. You should own one one there's no permits or any kind of you know

Really well. Everything's going great, and I'm excited about it.

Yeah, right? That's the way to do it. And, you know, these things these things come up and you're like i would be interested to see how it all works out that's exactly how i feel about everything uh well hello uh pack ray who's wearing glenn who's wearing a uh looks like an official ice jacket yeah and it is of course yeah official ice agent yeah are you really do peopleially official.
Wow. It's that official that it's unofficial.
Yes. Keeping it on the down low.

They like to pretend. They give everybody a little wink.
Yeah. Yeah.
He can't bring you in. Yeah.
But you're wearing that anyway. But I'm wearing it.
Yeah. So that must mean I can't.
Right. And so do you see a lot of people run when you walk into stores with that almost everybody almost everybody where i live almost everybody really okay all right uh i wanted to bring you in because i uh i i heard a couple of takes a couple of uh audio pieces on your show today and i i just wanted you to take take us through uh hank johnson and al green which one do you want to start with oh man it's so hard to choose i know let's start with al green yeah i was going to suggest al green uh you know he was the guy who stood up last week with a cane i really did anybody else see that and think oh my gosh it's 1853 yes right yes he's, he's going to go up and try to beat Donald Trump to death with a cane.

Anyway, here he is claiming that, well, you listen.

There is invidious discrimination in the House of Representatives.

I'm a son of the segregated South.

The rights that the Constitution recognized for me,

my friends and neighbors denied.

I had to sit in the back of the bus, the balcony of the movie, drink from a colored water fountain, and my relatives who committed some crimes were locked up in the bottom of the jail. I know what invidious discrimination looks like.
The Klan burned a cross in my yard. I know what it smells like.
I was in filthy waiting rooms, and I've been in places where I didn't want to be and I know what it sounds like I've been called all kinds of ugly names so I know invidious discrimination and when the speaker decided that I would be removed and then there was this boy motion this resolution to censor me it was be it became obvious to me that I was not being invidious as others were. It's not invidious.
And candidly speaking, it is invidious discrimination. I told you.
It is invidious discrimination. I'm not sure I've ever heard the word invidious.
Yeah, I hadn't until now. But it is an actual word.
Is it? And what does it mean? Likely to arouse or incur resentment or anger in others. Exactly.
Okay. All right.
Well, it's good. We learned something.
And he used it well. Yeah, he used it well.
Like five times. And when we were talking about Al Green, I was worried when the definition started with likely to arouse, but it did come around to an actual word.
So he's saying that just because he's black when he stood waving a cane at the president during the speech. And yelling and screaming during his speech.
Because that's not happened before. The closest we could find is Joe Wilson saying, you lie.
And he did it once. He did it once.
And that was it. And then everybody apologized for it.
And he was censored the next day. But he stood up with a cane.
Yeah. Yeah.
And would not sit back down either. Because he was black.
Yeah, it's invidious discrimination. Okay.
All right. Good.
All right. Yeah.
Now, Hank Johnson. Yeah.
Okay. He was brilliant.
And you might remember him from worrying about Guam tipping over and capsizing. Yeah.
Yeah. Capsizing.
So the guy is a thinker.

Only if we put all of the Marines on one side of the island,

then it would capsize.

Right.

Because she wasn't just randomly saying the island would capsize.

He was saying if we moved too many troops to one side of it,

it would capsize.

10,000.

He said if there are 10,000 troops were put there,

of course that's going to tip it over.

Of course.

People love it.

They leave out the context. I know.
They want to make them look stupid. We want to make them look stupid.
We want to be fair. It's invidious.
That's what that is. Let's go to Cut 12.
Here is Hank Johnson. All of the ways in which they can kill public education from defunding it from a federal level and then also enabling state monies and local monies to flow into the private for-profit school setup that is going, that is ongoing.
It's a recipe to make education unavailable to Black people. And where does that then leave us it puts us back uh to when america was great yeah and uh we were uh picking cotton and america's not great back then the productivity that they are putting the my latino brothers and sisters who this is great migrate here to do that work because we are not suited intellectually to do it anymore.
But they would have us back confined to doing that kind of work. So we got to watch out for where we are headed.
And it's the people that will save our democracy that will stop this movement towards the past that Trump has.

Can we stop for just a second?

I just have a couple of questions here, Pat.

So did he just say that blacks were no longer intellectually suited for field work?

Yeah, I'm not sure if he's talking about blacks or Americans in general, but yeah, we're intellectually

not suited for it. Meaning we're above that work guess and hispanics are yeah but hispanics are they're not above doing that they're suited i guess they're intellectually suited for it yeah i mean there's a there's a difference between uh i'm above that which is absolutely wrong uh and I'm not intellectually suited for that work, but you are.

What the hell does that even mean? Would that be racism, would you say? I think it's invidious racism. Invidious.
Invidious. Oh, no.
You're likely to arouse? Yes. Okay.
Not really. Sorry, I left the second part of that definition.
Yeah, right, okay. Wow.
So then he also says that it's Trump's plan to close the Department of Education to keep people from being educated. But if I could be wrong, help me out with the facts.
I think since the Department of Education was put into place, our test scores have gone way down and so like like not just black kids like no kids graduate now with more than like a third grade lead a reading level um that's what's putting people in chains i don't i don't know if he understands that but the entire system as it's built and everyone should be aware of this

you know they keep saying what's going to happen to our schools what's going to happen to what has happened to our schools right yeah president trump's talked about that pretty extensively that we're 40th among industrialized nations we spend by far the most amount of money one We're number one in spending, and we're 40th in education.

So there's a problem there. Yeah.
There's a big, big problem there. And part of it, honestly, I mean, when will, you know, anybody who is stuck in 1965 is not going to get this.
They're not going to get this because they're stuck in 1965 and they don't see that the

world has dramatically changed.

And they still look at people like Johnson, one of the biggest racists of my lifetime

as a president.

They don't see him as doing anything but good.

Right.

I truly believe whether he knew it or not, what he did completely destroyed black families, black children, enslaved them.

And until we understand that.

If you look at the timeline, you see that proven out.

I know.

Over and over and over again.

Yeah.

In almost every way.

Yep.

Yep.

I mean, when are people.

We have got to stop looking at the government as wanting to do good? Maybe they did at some time. I don't know.
Our founders would have said, no, it never does that. It never does that because people are in charge.
So you you always look at it as a hostile entity. That's why you keep it under wraps.

But let's just say they wanted to do good.

Everybody in the government wants to do good, but they're not.

They're not.

So for us to say, let's just keep going down this path is an act of insanity.

All we do is throw more money, grow the government, which is not working

by any measurement. It's not working.
Everybody's so upset about, oh my gosh, we shut down USAID.

First of all, USAID is a CIA operation. It was designed to look like aid but it's a cia op that's what it is so first of all you gotta learn that man learn that second of all even if even if it was you know for aid, can anybody tell me why we should spend maybe 20 cents on every dollar that goes there? And I'm being generous.
Maybe 20 cents of those dollars actually goes to help people. The rest of it is all about control and manipulation of other people's countries.
and what's left is graft and just incompetence and loss, why would we do that? Why are we focusing on the maybe 20 cents instead of the 80 cents? You know, if we were losing 20 cents on every dollar, I'd still be pissed, But we're not. We're getting 20 cents of what we really think we're getting and 80 cents to bad stuff.
Why? How do you defend that? You can't. Not if you're reasonable.
Not if you're a common sense American. You can't.
Unless you say government always means to do well and gosh we're just but we're trying right but when have they proven that to be true recently and if we listen to you everyone in guam would be in the ocean right now that's that's there's that yeah you're right you're right there is that you're right, Stu. Thank you very much.
I just want everybody in Guam to.

Yes, sir.

All right, thank you.

Thanks, Pat.

This is Glenn Beck. On Friday, Trump came out with something that is just, it's unbelievable.
The Department of Homeland Security has, in our airports, 200 TSA people who are clocking in simply as union reps. They don't check your bags.
They don't do anything else. All they're doing is making sure that the union grows becomes more powerful and uh helps the union now i don't know about you but i have a problem with that and this is something that biden did right before he left office just increase the union representation no no no you can't do that uh so i'm going to go into that here in uh just a minute also trump's tariffs i talked to i can't tell you how many people i talked to this weekend that are coming to me now and they're like okay glad glad glad you're reasonable right i mean trump is crazy i'm like no no he's not, OK, OK.
I know you don't think that, but I mean, come on, you got to see reason here. OK, make your case.
And it's all about the tariffs and everything else. And I just want to.
I think I can help you talk to your friends who are unhinged about Trump and Zelensky and Trump and the cuts in Washington and the tariffs. It is, look, it's a scary time.
It's a scary time. But I want to present maybe their argument, you know, the people that you're talking to, so I can see if it's the same thing that I'm hearing from people that, you know, aren't giving Trump the benefit of the doubt.
And, you know, you don't have to, but you do kind of want him to win. So if you want him to win, you have to stop thinking that he's absolutely crazy for just a second and go, OK, is there any method to what I think is madness? And the answer is yes.
You may not like it. You may not even agree with it.
But it's not evil. It's just a different strategy because everything is changing.
That is, you know, I talked about this on Friday in hour number three as I was talking about AI and encouraging you to look at AI right now in a different way. You should absolutely understand that AI can eat us down the road.
But right now, it's a shovel. It's a tool.
It's the best tool man has ever been given. And right now, if you learn how to use that tool, you can use it for good.
At some point, it might be like, and now you will become mine. And you say, oh, you're no longer a shovel.
It looks like you're looking at me as the shovel. No, thank you.
I'm not a tool of you. You're a tool of mine.
But you have to be reasonable on things that are happening and understand that the entire world is changing. And Donald Trump is a big part of that.
And it's not just we've gone crazy. No, he's trying to change a hundred years of direction.
And in my opinion, and a fairly well-educated opinion, because I know the history of the last 120 years with the progressive movement, I see what he's trying to do. And he's trying to do it all at once.
What was done over 100 plus years, he's trying to reverse in the next four. and it's going to be uncomfortable, and it's going to raise some

eyebrows. But I want you to be able to explain it to your friends, and we'll do that

coming up in just a second, you sick

twisted freak. this is glenn beck the hurricanes of 2024 are behind us rubble is is still.

Okay, is he? Is he? Is this chaos or is this a plan that you don't like? And if you want to talk about chaos, let's look at the other side as well. There are, there's chaos at ActBlue.
In fact, in a letter to ActBlue's board of directors, this comes from the New York Times, There is a, quote, alarming pattern of high-level exits that is eroding our confidence in the stability of the organization. It is toxic chaos.
How? Now, Trump doesn't have anything to do with that, but maybe a little bit of corruption might. We'll get into that.
And so much more this hour. Stand by first.

Several top officials, including the highest-ranking legal officer at ActBlue, have reportedly jumped ship in recent weeks, while those who remain are allegedly stuck dealing with a culture of volatility and toxicity.

In a letter to ActBlue's board of directors obtained by the New York Times, unions representing the group's workers identified seven officials who recently quit and stressed the alarming pattern of high-level exits. senior senior staff departures reportedly began on february 21st two weeks after the organization

reportedly provided congressional investigators with an update regarding ActBlue's security, their fraud prevention measures, and related procedures. ActBlue, we have known, is, I believe, appears to be a money laundering system for the left.
And there's a lot of money going through there. I don't know if any if Doge is going to find any connections to Act Blue, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Why are all these people leaving? Because they know this game is over. And that's why people are freaking out in Washington.
They are freaking out in Washington because they know the game is over. Now there are those people that are in the government that believe that they're doing the patriotic thing because they believe they know better than you, the people who elect presidents or the president himself.
You would not want this if it was your guy in office, right? Why wouldn't you want it? Why wouldn't you want a bunch of, let's say, Republicans that are in the deep state that didn't give a flying crap what Joe Biden said and wasn't executing his plan? Why wouldn't you like that? You wouldn't like that because that's not what the people voted for. The people voted for the president, not for these unelected bureaucrats that are faceless, nameless, and have complete control apparently over your country and your life.
No, you wouldn't like it. And I talked to some people this weekend that are very upset about Zelensky and how the president treated Zelensky.
You've got to watch the entire thing. People who are watching the clip to when the vice president steps in and says, hold on here.
That's where people start. That's not the beginning.
There's 20 minutes prior to that where Donald Trump and J.D. Vance were trying to disarm Zelensky, trying to get him to, hey, hey, hey, hey, not appropriate here.
Stop. But it took him 20 minutes before J.D.
Vance finally just snapped and said, stop it. So you have to inform yourself and not just the clips.

I am I'm a little uncomfortable by the way the tariffs are going with Canada and Mexico, not so much Mexico, but definitely Canada. Mexico is just a I'm sorry, but it's just an absolute corrupt country.
And they've got to get control of those cartels. And we have to get control of those cartels as well and make sure we're not doing business with any of the cartels, which I'm not convinced we're not.
But Canada is one of these countries. Come on.
It's Canada. It's Canada.
We've always liked Canada. Canada's always liked us.
Okay. There is a $1.2 trillion online with our our trade uh relationship okay and everybody's saying oh my gosh this will have a ripple effect it's gonna just cost everybody and you know what it might it might i don't know it might on the surface it is really tempting to see what everything that donald trump is doing as chaos he's just swinging everybody and he's hitting our friends and he's hitting our supposed friends and he's just taking out everybody.
But that's not really what's going on. And I want you to understand this so you can share this to your friends or your family who maybe are freaking out.
What are they? We're pissing off Canada.

I know. I don't like it either.
I don't like it.

But it's not chaos. It is a strategy.

And you are dealing with the best negotiator America has ever had in office.

Ever.

And this is the strategy that people in America elected Trump to execute.

Now, maybe your friend didn't or your family didn't because they didn't vote for him.

OK, but the majority of people did.

OK, electoral college and the popular vote and the county swung by 20 points.

To the red.

So this is a mandate.

It is a movement.

And it's not like other presidents that are like,

Thank you. 20 points to the red so this is a mandate it is a movement and it's not like other presidents that are like you know i'm i'm gonna be just like you when i get in i'm gonna fight for everything you're saying you're gonna fight for because i'm just like you and boy that thing that i don't even address ever but i just love what you're saying there i got your back and then they go in and they don't have your back.
That's not what happened this time. First of all, people didn't vote for Donald Trump like they voted for Joe Biden.
Joe Biden, they voted for because it wasn't Trump. Okay.
That's not what happened this time around. When you vote for somebody who's not the other guy, well, what is it you're getting? In that case, you got, I'm going to make your boy a girl.
Nobody was for that. Nobody voted for that.
Maybe extremists, but we didn't even know that was even coming our way until, what, six months or eight months into the presidency, and then all of a sudden, DEI, ESG stuff was a big story most people didn't vote for that they did vote for changing the direction of America they were tired of corruption they're tired of bureaucrats telling them how to live their life where they didn't get to vote on it. They're tired of being screwed by other countries.
We just want a fair and balanced playing field. I don't like tariffs.
I do like reciprocal tariffs. You put a tax on our milk, we'll put a tax on your milk.
You don't want a tax on your milk, then don't put a tax in. And we won't tax you either.
I like that. But that's what we're playing now is people just think we're going to take out Canada.
I want you to think of this differently with your friends. And maybe your friends won't like this example, but it's true.
When Ronald Reagan stood up, it was i think it was in march of 83 and he's just gotten in and he's standing i think it was at a breakfast or something and he stood up and he said and russia the soviet union is an evil empire and everybody went oh my gosh he just said an evil empire that's so scary and everybody even people who liked him were like don, don't say that. They'll nuke us.
And he's like, no, you're never going to beat them. We cannot do.
Now, listen to this. We cannot continue to play the game the same way we've been playing it for 50 years because it's not getting us anywhere.
In fact, it might be hurting us. We know with all of our foreign policy that we've done, getting us into endless wars, spending all kinds of money, racking up a debt of $35 trillion, not knowing what the truth is because the government's no longer transparent.
None of that works. None of that works.
And's what donald trump was was saying and that's what people voted for a change i think that's what people actually voted for when it came to barack obama because all of this transparency everything was opaque under george w bush you were like wait what are we doing there why why is it i I don't want necessarily these never-ending wars, and now I've got people checking my underpants at the airport. What are we doing? That's why they wanted change, transparency.
They wanted change. But he never defined the change.
Donald Trump was very clear. Anybody who didn't know that massive tariffs were coming was they just weren't paying attention okay when Reagan did it it wasn't a slip of the tongue it was deliberate it was a public shot across the bow he did it in public because he wanted to change the world and while while everybody else was going, oh my gosh, and critics, Democrats, everybody, it's going to be catastrophic.
He's going to get us nuked by Friday. All the squirrels will be dead.
What are squirrels going to be? What? Reagan wasn't playing for the applause. He was playing to win.
His words were backed by a military buildup and unrelenting pressure, and it forced the Soviets to confront their own fragility. They couldn't do it.
By 1989, remember it was 1983 when he said evil empire, and we were at equal terms in the world.

We were both world superpowers that could annihilate the other one at the drop of a hat. That was 1983, evil empire.

By 1989, the Berlin Wall was rubble.

All because Reagan had the balls to say it and then not blink. Now, we could have been vaporized.
Yes. But if you want to change the world, you're going to have.
I have this saying that somebody gave to me a long time ago, and I live my life by it. Risk big, win big.
Risk big, lose big. Just know the odds before you put your money down on the table.
That's why I don't like Vegas. I know the odds are not in my favor.
So, yes, I could risk big, but I probably will lose big because the odds are not in my favor.

When it comes to Ronald Reagan's Soviet empire, he had a plan.

And so the odds, he knew, were in our favor.

The same thing with Donald Trump.

We can't afford a trade war, but neither can they.

So let's all play nice with one another, shall we? This is the same kind of leadership that Ronald Reagan had. We elected Donald Trump to fight, to take on a global trade system, to take on the deficit and the spending.
We can't fire all these people. It's causing all kinds of chaos.
Wait, are you OK? Honestly, are you OK with a good portion of our money raised in taxes going to pay for salaries and benefits the way it is? We have six million plus employees? For what? For what? When you see how corrupt it is we have six million plus employees for what for what when you see how corrupt it is why can't we return some of that power well you can't cut the department of education why not he pledged he was going to he told everyone on the campaign trail he's going to and then when he tries everybody says we preserve the. Why? It doesn't work.
Show me the evidence that it works. Well, you're going to just leave all of the poor children out to educationally starve.
They're starving to death right now. They can't read.
When you don't teach children to read, they become slaves to whomever can read. How is that compassion? How is that good? How is that something you want to preserve? It all comes down to one thing.
And this is what you're actually fighting. And I'll explain it to you in 60 seconds.
Deep in the quiet of a mother's womb, if you listen carefully, there is a voice. Let me enter you.
Not that voice. It's a heartbeat.
It's saying, there's life in here. I'm made in the image of God, just like you.
Our culture hasn't spent very long, you know, actually listening. We've been plugging our ears because we don't want to hear that voice.
Some people don't want to hear it. It's inconvenient.
Expecting mothers, especially the desperate, often choose to silence that voice. They don't even want to think about it because they're desperate.
it, instead of looking at people and saying, you're a baby killer, Why don't we look at people and say, how can we help you to hear that voice? That is exactly what this organization does that will help you. It will help these women hear that voice because they offer free ultrasounds to expecting mothers.
The organization is pre-born. At least half of the time, that's all it takes to convince a woman she's carrying a living human being and she'll change her mind.
However, the other big obstacle is I can't, I don't have any support. Will you do with a pre-born clinic? Because they care about the baby and the mom,

and they'll help her for two years after the baby is born.

So let's just look at Canada and the tariffs here for a second.

270% tariffs on our dairy imports.

$40 billion for, you you know in good surplus that's not a quirk you know donald trump keeps saying this and people don't realize this is true the eu was designed to be able to compete against the united states okay they are economic competitors that doesn't mean they enemies. The same thing with Canada.
And when you're the rich person, believe me, look at how people look at rich people. They haven't paid their fair share in taxes.
That's the way they view us. We pay more for our medical prescriptions here in America than they do overseas.
Because we even view ourselves politically when the people in power actually have anything to say about it. They're like, well, we're the richest country in the world, so we should pay more.
No. Can somebody defend us as well? That's what Donald Trump is.
Here's what this boils down to. It boils down to your friends are not paying attention because they've already made their mind up about Donald Trump.

they don't know who he is okay did you like it when he went over and he was like

yeah that uh little guy uh missile boy and he was saying that about kim jong-un who had his

finger on a launch button. You're like, okay, this isn't good.
What happened? What happened? We won. And he got American citizens that were being held hostage out of there.
All of a sudden, he's friends with him. No, he was just calling him,

you know, Rocket Man just like 10 minutes ago. This is what he does.
This is how he negotiates. It's his playbook is provoke, pressure, prevail.
That's what it is. So, people

are just afraid because it's a different

approach. And nobody likes to upset

the, you know, it's like, have you ever, do you have anybody

I'm a horrible negotiator. I go in to buy a car, I don't even go.

I send a friend in because I'm like, I can't negotiate. I always feel bad.
I'm like, I don't know. I don't want to screw you.
Horrible, horrible. So I have a good friend who goes in.
Robert, my brother, he goes in and he negotiates and he loves it. okay because that's the game they play all day and they know you don't like it and so you're like

i don't know i don't want to be i mean i just want everything to be fair and nice and happy and

now when you're like, I don't know. I don't want to be, I mean, I just want everything to be fair and nice and happy.
And now when you're negotiating, you bring the biggest dog to the negotiating table you can get. Somebody that knows how to play their game as well as they do, if not better, and doesn't blink.
That's how you get a good deal. That's what Donald Trump is.
And you're the person like me in the car dealership going, but no, we don't. He doesn't really mean that.
He's, I don't know, maybe he's had a really bad day, but I, Mr. Car Salesman, I appreciate your family.
I don't want your family to starve. They're not going to starve.
This is the game they play. And nobody likes to play that game.
That's why you hire someone like Donald Trump to come in and play that game. Your job is to not freak out because if you freak out, the other side sees the whole family sitting there squirming and then they just look at you like, really, can you believe this guy who's negotiating on your behalf? He's a monster.
And what happens? The family starts to squirm, and they blink. Don't blink.
You may not like the style, but this is what we voted for. Complete change.

You can register for that one at wallbuilders.com. But it's going to be a very busy summer.
If you want any of those, you can find them now at mercuryone.org or wallbuilders.com. Thinking about your last segment Glenn about how to understand what Trump is trying to do here.
Yeah. And I think I pretty much totally agree with you on when it comes to his approach right like I find it really frustrating to watch the media and honestly a lot of people on you know conservative liberal media all over the board right losing their mind either positively or negatively on every little step of his negotiations right like every time he says something there's 15 new york times pieces about how crazy it is and what it's going to do and then when he when it winds up being a negotiation a few weeks later, like there's nothing.
Yeah. There's just like, oh gosh, you know.
Reagan never got the credit. And that's okay.
You know, as Trump, I think would understand at some level, you know, there's no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit. And I know he does certainly care who gets the credit.
That's something we could definitely say about Trump, But he's smart enough to know the negotiation is the bigger part of that.

Here's the thing. People look at him and think he's a big bully.
He's not. He's a tremendous negotiator.
He wants to walk away in situations where everyone wins. He knows he's a good enough negotiator to know everyone's got to win.
Why do you think he's saying Canada, you're going to be be the 51st state so when we just have no tariffs and they've stopped the drugs from coming over and the terrorists from coming over and the tariffs you know go away everybody's gonna say he didn't win they're not the 50 canada is like see we beat him we're not the 51st state. He's not a bully.
He is. He's really, really smart.
You have to judge the outcome. Yeah.
Outcome, not the optics of it, the outcome. And that's what I would.
And I don't think it's an addendum to what you said. I just it's just to add a little more clarification on this.
Past presidents, we've often judged by the way they've negotiated in these situations we did it with the red line in in syria right we did it with with obama we do that all the time and people say well you have a double standard with trump my answer to that is yeah i kind of do and the reason i do is because he's pretty unique i don't know if anyone's noticed this in american history i think don Trump's relatively unique. He does things in a different way.
And I think to understand what he's doing, you have to have a double standard. If I chase around every single thing he says and freak out about it or say it's the greatest thing ever, then I will be chasing my tail and I will be insane.
And that's what the media does all the time. i refuse to do that however there is the addendum to that which is he does need to be judged as to whether these policies work or not yeah but i don't think you have to judge the results you can't just judge nothing and say this is his strategy and therefore it's fine stew let me give you an example and i know there's got to be another business example out there, but let me just talk in a way, and maybe you can come up with another example that relates to regular people.
I've done radio for my whole life. And here's what happens.
People are like, we want to change. We got to change.
We're going to change shows. We're going to change it up.
We want to hire you. Then you get in, you start to change.
And everybody's like, well, not that change. We need it to be a little bit more like what it was.
And you're like, no, that didn't work. Right.
You know? And then, all right, we'll give you six more weeks. And you're like, six? It takes two years to turn things in radio.
Okay? That is exactly what we have to do now. You don't judge Donald Trump six or eight weeks into it.
We're going to have to look at the midtermsterms okay is the ship turning in the direction that we want it to go you you just hired him to do a job let him do the job stop trying to micromanage you hired somebody very very unique yeah i know very unique but i'd like him to be much more you know like ronald re, or I'd like him to be much more, you know, unique like Bill Clinton. Those guys weren't unique.
Reagan was to some degree, but everybody else was playing the same game. Donald Trump, we have asked, we have said, we all admit $34 trillion doesn't work.
We are getting owned by everybody else in the world okay the eu was set up to compete against us and because we've been kicking rocks in the in the parking lot going we're such a bad country we just have so much and nobody has anything else and gosh we've just we've done everything that was so colonial we're even wearing wigs still i just feel bad for what the europeans and that we're letting the europeans walk all over us no it's not 1945 it's not even 1955 65 75 85 95 05 15 it's about to slip out of 25 let's let's reevaluate things and do things differently and that's what he's doing yeah i i think that's that is absolutely true i mean i think you really see that clearly with ukraine maybe as most clearly as possible he's looking at a situation where ukraine has been promised for uh two and a half years that they will get as much money as they want for as long as it takes correct right and he has to shake them out of that he has to convince them that's not going to happen anymore correct to get them to come back to the table so he did say i mean you saw he said it well he was like oh you know zolensky is a dictator he's a dictator he's the worst guy in the world and then when someone asked him about he said i don't think i said that and he smiled right like this is all negotiation to get to a goal that and that's and did you notice he's taking on russia this week he's like you know russia you don't come to the table we got him at the table you don't come to the table i gotta give you he's talking about additional sanctions on russia this man who loves vladimir putin so much so you have to watch it and you have to judge the results. I remember in his first term, he was over in, I think it was in Europe, and he's talking to all these European leaders and he's talking about tariffs because he loves tariffs.
As you know, favorite word is tariffs. And he said to them, I think it was maybe it was the G6 or one of those meetings.
And he said, you know what? He's like, what I would like here is we could just all come together and turn off all tariffs and so no one has any let's do that right now anyone into that who's into that now we i he really does think tariffs are a good policy i i am i don't agree with him on that um however i think he probably would come around to a situation where everyone had zero tariffs yes if they would yes but he was also challenging them to oh you guys are so serious about not liking tariffs let's go to zero right now right knowing they wouldn't do it correct now you can go crazy and drive yourself insane and say well donald trump promised zero tariffs and now he's coming with all these or you can go the other away and say he's wants 58 percent tariffs on every country and now he's backed off of them you can play that game with your mind if you wish you can turn your entire life upside down panicking every time the man opens his mouth which is what the media constantly does i it's impossible to understand or you could step back and look at the results of his policies. What policy did he enact? And did it work? North Korea is a good example of that, too.
Glenn, you brought that one up. He was calling him Little Rocket Man.
Then he was saying he was his best friend. At the end of that, that flare up at that time wound up not turning into nuclear missiles flying across the globe and did eventually turn into a good enough relationship that we brought some hostages home i wouldn't say it solved the north korea situation more under control than it ever has been before since it was an anti-inflammatory drug yes things are calm they're not perfect they're still doing terrible things to their people we're not you know the human rights violations are violations still going on.
North Korea is not a good place. Kim Jong-un is not a good guy.
That being said, it's a little bit better than and I think you could judge him on the outcome of that to this point. And I think that part worked.
You can. But, you know, that also has to come with if the terror, like if tariffs wind up having really negative consequences on the economy and he keeps them on he's going to pay for that policy because his approval ratings will go down correct the people in the middle who embraced him because they love the economy and were excited about what he would do if it's bad for them they will turn do you really think he doesn't know of course he knows he's going to pay a huge price if they don't work right i mean that's what you judge him on correct right he wants to be judged on that i think long term here's a really good way to look at this so what was it last week and the week before everybody's like he loves russia just loves him he hates the ukrain people, wants them all to die.
Speak Russian. I think most of them do anyway.
So that's all they were saying. Now, a senior White House official came out the last couple of days.
Trump's rage has been intensifying. Uh-oh.ifying due to russia's behavior and its escalation on strikes on ukraine wait a minute i thought he loved so he said quote based on the fact that russia is absolutely pounding uk on the battlefield right now, I'm strongly considering large scale banking sanctions, sanctions, tariffs on Russia until a ceasefire and final settlement of agreement on peace is reached.
Get to the table right now before it's too late. I thought, wait a minute, I thought he loved, I thought he loved Russia.
I thought he was all for Putin.

He's weird.

Negotiating.

And with a real end in mind, which is he legitimately, top of his priority list, wants the killing to stop.

Right.

And wants that war to end.

And the same thing can be said with what he's doing to the government. He was given a mandate, whether you like it or not, reduce the size of government, reduce the deficit.
So he's reducing the size of government, which is a pain in your ass. And you all know, every single American knows it doesn't work.
It's not working. It's not good.
So why would we keep all of this? He's going in and he's being as surgical as he can,

but he also knows it took 100 years to grow at this size,

and he's got about eight months to pare it down.

And everybody's whining.

Oh, you know, that was a good part.

Well, everybody's going to have a that's a good part.

I'm going to have things that he cuts that I'm like, that was a good part.

You are doing radical surgery right now,

radical. And it's, we're not going to all love it.
But if you want to save the patient,

that's what has to be done. And you have to stop saying, yeah, but your hair will fall out.
And I

really like my hair. Do you want to live or not? Do you want the patient to live and go on and

fight another day stronger and better or not? That's the question you have to ask. Sometimes the help you need comes from a place you'd never suspect.
For instance, let's say you're a parent at a kid's school board meeting, fighting tooth and nail against the evils and, you know, the stuff that they're trying to put in your kid's head. Lonely battle sometimes, but you know who's there fighting right along with you in many cases? Patriot Mobile.
A cell phone service has your back? Yeah, it's a Christian-owned company. They have really two important things.

Beck will be right back. welcome to the glenbeck program we are so glad you're here uh i don't know if uh anybody i'd love to hear from you uh

today 888-727-BECK if you happen to be listening to friday's podcast where i talked about ai uh i

was in friday night i was in florida uh and i was giving a giving a talk to a a really great uh

charity and talking to them about uh ai and how you've got to start using it right now

So, let's go. really great charity and talking to them about AI and how you've got to start using it right now, right now.
And, you know, one of the guys on my security detail was talking to me today and he's like, Glenn, I used it this weekend, like you said, and I started asking it questions about my field and the things that I've been thinking. And he said, I just got sucked into, oh my gosh, look how much it knows about everything.
Have you used it? Sarah, did you use it this weekend? You just have to play with it. Please do not, if you're using Grok 3, please do not use the unhinged or the talk dirty to me or any of that stuff.
No. Do not allow it to become a personal friend.
That's your first barrier. Don't do that.
You have to look at this tool as a shovel because eventually it's going to look at you as a tool, as a shovel. And if you aren't familiar with it now, if you're not using it now in your own life, and as I said on Friday's podcast, showed you how as a parent you can use it.
If you don't start using it that way,

it will begin to use you soon. So love to hear if you played with it this weekend and what you found back in a minute.
This is Glenn Beck. Thank you.
The Fusion of Entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad that you're here.
Thank you so much for listening. On Friday, I talked a little bit about AI and

asked you to play around with Brock. If you did, I'd love to hear what you learned or what you discovered or what you're concerned about, because this is going to be a reality.
And I really want you to understand it so you can get ahead, because if you're not using it, it will eventually use you and it's going to be so misused.

I mean, I'm working on a handbook of ethics right now, not only for my staff when it comes to research and everything else, but also for you because nobody, I don't want the experts building the ethics on this. We saw what they happened with, you know, hey, we've got the ethics of Instagram.
No, thank you. We've got an ethics team here at Google.
You're evil. I want to kind of lead in my own world, my own ethics, because I think mine are probably a little higher standard than what everybody else is going to come up with.
And so I want to hear from you. What did you discover if you did anything with it this weekend? Back in just a second.
Also, I want to tell you about the Department of Homeland Security. Donald Trump dropped the hammer on that.
And it's a really good hammer on this one. We'll talk about that coming up.
First, spring is stirring. And with it, by the way, daylight savings time.
What a piece of crap. Here's my suggestion.
We're not going to drop it. Here's my suggestion.
When we fall back, we do that on a Saturday. But we fall back 23 hours.
So we get an extra Saturday out of the deal. When we spring ahead, we spring ahead 25 hours.
But we do that. Now we're skipping whole days.
Yeah, we do that on a Monday. So we skip Monday and we're right in on Tuesday.
Come on, who's with me on that? Anyway, spring is stirring and the real estate market is starting to stir again. Buyers are starting to wake up.
Sellers are testing the waters. See if the buyers are willing, you know, what are they willing to pay? I've seen it dozens of times and so have you.
Right now, if you're thinking about buying or selling or maybe even planning to do both, I want you to consider this. Buying or selling a home isn't just part of a transaction.
It's where one chapter of your story ends and a new one begins. Given that it is really important and a lot is on the line, why wouldn't you want to have help from an expert? I started realestateagentsitrust.com over a decade ago because I was looking myself for real estate agents that I could trust.
And I started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country,

according to the Wall Street Journal.

And I learned a lot from them.

And then we started looking for other people like that.

And we vetted down to the tiniest detail.

Somebody that we knew you could trust because we trusted with a handshake.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Go there now.

Find the right real estate agent for you. estate agents i trust.com all right uh i'm going to tell you about the department of homeland security here in just a second um but i want to talk to you about uh ai a little bit more um today we're just going to spend a few minutes on this but I think we should spend a few minutes on this every day because I think people are waking up.
It's just starting to become reality to the people who are paying attention. And the people who are paying attention now are going to be the ones that are the most likely to survive the first round of cuts.
And you're going to, hopefully, you will see how to ethically use it. Because if you just use this to replicate your job, I know I've got hours and hours every day I spend on a show prep.
But I've been using AI to help look for sources on things. And I mean sources like that I would never find, you know.
What does the GAO say about this? I'm not looking at the New York Times or anybody else. It's like I've taken and I have a big staff that does research every day.
And it allows me to look at things that would take us forever to look at and to digest. And we can digest it quickly.
And then I can give it to my research team and say, just check on that. It says page 437, paragraph 14 says this.
Can you just make sure that that's exactly what it says and means? If you're using this to take your work and well, let me say it this way. Using AI is like adding 10 people to your job.
You no longer have to do the grunt work. It allows you to be a thinker.
So you just need to get it to do all of the grunt work for you. So you don't have

to think about all that stuff. You put it in so it can make what you do so much better.
If you're using it just to do your job, okay, you might be done earlier in the day. My day has gotten much longer now using AI.

But I am further ahead on a whole bunch of stuff. And if you use it just to copy what you do, then you're replaceable.
You're absolutely replaceable because you're the driver. You're the artist.
You're the one who has the unique piece of humanity that it doesn't have. You can put things together that it won't.
And so use it as a tool to say, if I had a staff of 10, if I had a staff of 100, what could I get done? How could I make myself the most valuable employee right now? It's not just coming in with the best report that Grok wrote. That would be bad because do you know about how did you, what does all of this mean? It's a way for you to not only knock it out of the park with whatever you're doing right now, make what you do better.
But then it's also about adding other things to your job. So you make yourself the most valuable person in the building.
Okay. Every job is going to be, my job is going to be, there's going to come a time where I don't think real people will.
I mean, I think real people will become a thing again, like handmade. But I think that there's going to be a time by 2030 where a lot of the podcasts right now, I will bet you that some of the tweets that you read from people that you know, it might be AI generated.
And then somebody else that you know and respect, their bot is responding to that tweet. And so it's the battle of the bots.
That's totally happening right now. It's totally happening.
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't have any evidence of anybody doing it, but I can guarantee you that's happening. We're still.
It's automated. We're still at the point to where you can kind of maybe detect it.
I don't know how long that's going to last. As you point out, it's advancing so quickly, but like you could still kind of feel it.
I feel when I, when I read the stuff, you know, when I, when I read social media, I was telling somebody this weekend, it's like, I, I've always disliked social media, but I'm getting to the point now with it where I, there's no value to me whatsoever because I can't even tell if these people are saying these things. I feel like half the stuff I'm reading is just AI.
A bunch of AI bots talking to each other. What value do I get out of that? I have access to AI.
I can just ask AI if I want that. Exactly right.
And I don't know where that ends. Hopefully it means the entire world of social media collapses and we act as if it was a horrible archive of history um but that being said i don't know where that goes because i feel you feel disconnected you're just like well why why do i care what what an ai bot says about an ai written story from some crappy media source while both of the people commenting are out drinking together at some bar.
And those are the people who are, those people are afraid, I'm going to lose my job because of AI. Yeah, if you're out drinking and you're working half a day because it's doing it, believe me, at some point, an unscrupulous boss is going to go, why am I paying all these people? Now, a smart boss will say, why am I paying all these people? I'm going to go pay the same amount of money to somebody who actually will take and do this and make it much better and add more value because they see that this can be used as a rocket ship and we can create 10 times the value of what we're providing that's what i'm excited about i'm seeing the possibilities of us being able to do the things that we've always done at a much higher level a much a much more even buttoned up scale than we already are because there comes a time with even with us that we'll leave things off the you know but we'll put it on the edit floor because we're like i'm not sure if that's true and we haven't had time well in time that's where ai can help us go out and search and make sure that this is absolutely true and it might be impossible for us to find, but soon it won't be for AI.

It will find it.

But, you know, there's all kinds of things to talk about.

I just want you to try it and just be playing with it.

Not in a, please don't use unhinged.

Don't make it your friend.

Don't make it your sex partner.

Don't do that.

Don't ever, ever blur the lines. It is a tool.
Charles, you're on the Glenn Beck program. Yeah.
How are you doing, Glenn? Good. How are you? I'm doing quite well.
God bless you all. And I just wanted to say thank you for connecting me with Labor of Love and Susan Selim.
And that was 20 years ago. It really created my spiritual growth.

That's so great.

And I eternally thank you for that.

Anyway, on the case of AI, played with it a lot over the weekend on Grok.

And you're right, for the research elements, it's fantastic.

Yes.

I had some charts made up for balanced scorecard.

I wrote a book on that several years ago, and that's in my wheelhouse of technology and business. And, yeah, creating various charts and things like that, fantastic.
Doing the deep dive on research, really good. But I've had a book idea, you know, more of a novel, and I always struggle with dialogue.
So I said, hey, let's see if it'll create the book that I had.

So I input the parameters, and initially it was fantastic.

It's a historical fiction, and it incorporated the historical elements I was going for

and created the dialogue and the emotional pull.

You could update it and ask it to enhance the emotion or expand on the chapter that I was working on. But at some point, it just seems to get overwhelmed by, yeah, it falls apart and it just goes off the rails.
And I've had to restart it like three times. Yeah, yeah.
Charles, good observation. you it can't continue going down the same road for very long because it doesn't have a memory its memory is so limited because it's supposed to remember everything on the internet or at least have access to all of it and so it just generalizes everything and so it can't write a book.
It, it, it can't, it can't write. It just can't write.
I I've, we've been working on things and you know, some members of my staff are like, well, that, I mean, would that put me out of a job? No, that wouldn't put you out of job because it can't do it. It can't do it.
It can't continue continue a storyline it all falls apart on you maybe someday but i still believe that people are going to be instrumental because it takes the the germ of an idea if you look at this and like it's going to complete my work it's going to write my book for me you're crazy and that's kind of evil but uh if you say for instance stew has known this because he's written books with me stew when you get my rough draft of a book how long would those books be oh gosh at least three times the amount of words that they're supposed to be right okay i just i'm verbose when it comes to writing and the biggest job is can you edit this down yes okay that it can do that it can do it can take my writing and cut it by two thirds and just keep the best parts but it can't write a book for you it's not going to and nor would you hopefully no nor would you want to well it would be that it doesn't matter if it's good yeah but it can right it's capable of doing it and i'm sure that's what a lot of people are doing honestly at this point but again there's no value in that like there's no value in in this these things churning out books for people like there's nothing that there's no value in that obviously you go to an author because you're looking for their perspective. And yes, they can tell Grok what their perspective is, but like, it's not the same.
And I don't think it ever will be the same because of the way it uses memory. The way it uses memory, it will never be able to hold it until everybody stops at, you know, at the X or, you know, or Google.
I don't think they'll ever do this. Until they open up that memory, but they're using all that memory for machine learning to get to ASI.
So you're only getting just a fraction of what is available to them. But they're using all of that memory to be able to churn, to produce something else.
And I honestly, if you have ASI, if they get ASI, I really don't think we're going to get it. I think they will, but we won't, you know what I mean? Which bothers me a great deal.
Yeah. I do feel like that is just an artificial line though, right? I mean, it is until it's an artificial line that they need to hold because everybody knows it's an existential threat to their business.

Microsoft knows if X gets it first, Microsoft is out of business.

This should tell you something about your job.

Microsoft, X, and Google.

If you talk to people who at all use AI, you ask them, when's the last time you used Google? You don't. Because it's almost like using, what was it, Ask Jeeves.
In comparison, it's like Ask Jeeves. Somebody's going to put these gigantic corporations out.
if they're going to put somebody is going to put these gigantic corporations out.

If they're that freaked out, you shouldn't be freaked out. You should learn it because the first thing that happens is jobs are lost.
So how can I use this to keep my job and to be the most productive and thoughtful and useful human brain on the staff. Back in just a second.
Things just aren't the way they used to be. In the old days, you had pirates sailing vast armored ships across the seven seas, killing and plundering along the way.
Sure, that was great. I mean, then you had the Somali pirates running around on speedboats with machine guns until Tom Hanks got all of them.
And now, what kind of arm-to-the-teeth swashbuckling buccaneer do you have? You have porch pirates on scooters. It's sad.
It really is. I you know I don't want them stealing your stuff which is just one of the many reasons I have

Station ID. simply safe 10 seconds station id let me go to line 7 brett in pennsylvania go ahead hey how you doing today i'm great so i took your involved even like everybody else i suppose you know like afraid of the ai and when is skynet going to take over right don't don't lose that fear that's healthy just don't let it stop you so uh friday my wife and i both were like you know what i'm going to give it a shot so my plan was i'm going to make it or get it to make me a business card size ad for, you know, like a periodical or whatever.

Yeah.

I found myself arguing with the thing all weekend because it couldn't read,

you know, like all equipment has like model numbers on the side of it.

Yeah.

And I had a picture of a forestry mulching machine that I used.

Well, they kept arguing with me that the model number,

and then it was making up like fake machines that aren't even out there. And I like i spent all this time okay so brett here's the thing here's the thing it'll do that you have to say that uh you need um proof and evidence of those things you just ask it no no i want the most solid reference to the show me your, show me your reference.
And then it stops all of that hallucination because until you tell it, no, no, no, I'm looking at your research. I need to know the reference.
And then you go and find it. And if it hallucinated that reference, then, you know, dude, no hallucination.
I need it in writing the reference and so it changes you have to know it's it is like a teenager doing their homework if they can get away with it it will it will absolutely do that and it's it's best i think right now go back and and argue with it on say build me a don a, don't, don't do an ad or whatever. Build a business plan.
Tell me what my customers, why they would be more likely to buy this product from my competitor. Tell them the competitor, look at their competitor website.
Tell me why they would be more apt to buy it there than from me. What can I do entice people ethically make sure you say that ethically to buy from me instead of my competition and just see what it says but you have a lot of playing don't get uh don't get frustrated with it because it is very frustrating at times once you learn how to prompt it and ask it the right questions so it knows exactly what you're looking for, and this takes a while, then you can start using it in deeper ways.
But always go for deep, you know, think or deep research. Forget about all the buttons up.
Think or deep research. Use those two and then watch it think.
It says click here and watch

me think. And it shows all the questions that it's asking.
Well, I should ask this. I should ask this.
I should ask this. And just that helps you learn how to think.
It's an amazing thing. All right.
Back in just a second. This is Glenn Beck.
You know, in my day, you could spend a dollar and buy a whole meal. Actually, it could at McDonald's.
Remember that dollar meals? What can you get for a dollar now? Candy bar, maybe if you're lucky. Inflation is a huge problem in this country, and it remains to be seen whether it's going to go down anytime soon or go up.
We don't know. The debt we face as a nation is staggering.
Thirty six trillion dollars and counting fast. And I have not seen Congress move to do anything significant to reduce that spending.
If the Republicans don't reduce the debt and the deficit, then all of this is for naught, okay? With that in mind, may I suggest that you put a hedge against those clowns in Washington. You need to safeguard what you've already made, maybe your retirement, your wealth.

You're going to love it. It's a story about TSA and what Trump is doing to TSA.
And I want to squeeze it in. I just don't think I'm going to have enough time to do it justice.
So we're going to bring it back tomorrow. It's perspective that you really need to hear uh can i ask you a question uh about doge yeah because i'm pretty doge uh friendly like i like it i like the idea um i was talking to a couple people who were being somewhat my i would say mildly critical of it okay um one was saying uh you know he works with the government in an energy sector and he's like you know i agree with president trump on the on energy want to make you know the country independent that's what we're doing he's like but they've fired so many people at these agencies that like just soak that in for go ahead we can't get anybody who knows what they're doing on the phone to actually accomplish these goals welcome to to the taxpayer that calls the IRS.
Exactly. But is there, do you make anything of that criticism? Yeah, I think, have you ever worked for a company, and Stu, you have, that was so bloated that it couldn't get out of its own way, okay? And then it makes dramatic cuts, and everybody's like, this is going to kill us.
We don't know. I don't know who to even go to.
There's not enough. Right.
I know that. That's the transition period.
So we're in this transition period. We'll be here for a while.
It's going to get really tough until it stabilizes. And you start, you know, right now you're trying to just save the company, the country, the government, just trying to save it.
So we got to cut it back. Well, that's going to cause all kinds of problems.
But what is what is I mean, if you've ever worked for a company that was going out of business because it was just why it's just spending way too much money and it was way bloated, when you start firing people or when you're part of that company and you're fired maybe, when you get past the passion of it, you do go, well, if you want to save the company, that's the only thing you can do. And yes, it got messy, but it gets better if you're doing doing it right it's going to get messy and then it'll get better i mean example my company i mean it happens to lots of companies right it does but i i mean you know i'll pull myself up and say you know my company we we were so top heavy for a while and it didn't it was not it wasn't working and i finally had to just and go, you know what? I just got to clear out everybody.
Yeah. And it was scary for everybody.
And most people were like, Glenn's going to kill the company. And it ended up saving the company.
Yeah, you killed it in another way many times. So many times.
Many companies over the years. Maybe even a more generalized example is what Musk did at Twitter, right? Yes.
Where everyone was like was like oh my gosh like it's like chaos by the way it does seem to be down today um but that's a bad example right um but like it everyone was like oh it's gonna be off and it then it worked totally fine yes right right um i do think part of this though is that approach that approach that that musk did at twitter and has done at other companies that he's owned is a bit chaotic by design and what like i thought of this example when the fbi stuff was going on and cash patel uh was pushing back and saying no actually don't respond to that email and um there was a big story this weekend uh from the new york times actually about a meeting that happened where with trump and rubio and and uh and elon musk where they were screaming at each other because musk is saying i want to do these things and the other people are like hey these are my agencies i'm in control of them right i should be the one making these decisions and that that is i happen to agree with. It's a pretty healthy debate.
Yeah, I agree with that. Because I think what we've seen in the past is if you put a bureaucrat, even if they know the agency very well, in control of cutting it, a lot of times those cuts don't get made.
Correct. So I can understand why you need a musk.
On the other hand, if you think Kash Patel is the best guy to run the FBI, maybe he should be the one making those cuts. But that's where you have the president come each makes their case if you can't if you can't make a decision bring it to me and i'll make the decision that's the president's job buck stops here and according to the reporting he basically said the agency person gets to make those decisions uh let me go to uh lisa north carolina hello lisa hello glenn let Sorry.
Okay, thank you. I'm going to do my best as an XX individual to make this short and sweet.
All right. If you only knew me, it's really hard.
First of all, I'll get to the doge. As an artiste myself, you're a great artist.
I like you. I think you and I refer to you as the Lone Ranger and your sidekick of Tonto.
I think you all really do need to do a tour, a tent revival, so to speak. Anyways, as far as Groke, do you remember the commercial, if it's live or if it's Memorex and the ladies scream? Yeah, I wish I could scream like that.
I did play with it last night, and it's concerning to me. It seemed there was a couple of occasions that it responded sarcastically, but in a not, it wasn't fun.
So when I would respond to it back saying, you know, I felt that this is your response, Brock's response to me was sarcastic. It would explain the reason that it responded to me in a certain way.
You just need to say to it every time. You just need to say to it every time, don't be sarcastic.
I'm looking for, and remember that each session is new. It won't remember who you are or what you talked about.
So you just have to say when you're prompting, I don't want any sarcastic response.

I'm looking for blah,

blah,

blah,

blah,

blah.

And it will change on you.

And you might be in the wrong setting.

I don't know what you're doing,

but I only use deep research and think.

And occasionally it'll give me some sort of a snarky response,

but not usually,

not usually it did at the beginning,

but it doesn't.

It definitely has more attitude than the other. Oh, by far.

But it's better by far in everything else.

Thanks for your call. Lee in Utah.
Hello.

I actually kind of dug Grok's attitude.

Yeah, I know some people do.

We talked to work for a little while.

It came up with a lot of solutions for me.

I'm a video editor.

How to localize stuff with lip sync in all these different languages and personalized stuff. So I can send Helene the message in French and I can send Gamish the message in Hindi.
And it's pretty cool. But what got really fun was when we started just exploring some stuff, we were exploring what the singularity might feel like.
And the parameters we put on ourself is what will the singularity feel like using Elon Musk's tools as the operating system? And where we ended up was the fact that when you come out of your suspended animation as a first colonist in Mars, and you walk out of this spaceship, you don't even question why you're breathing solar energy through the panels on your shiny new body and why you can work for 24 hours a day without having to take a break. And you can see just fine in the dark side of Mars when it's minus 60 degrees Celsius, it just feels natural to you.
And you don't even. Yeah.
Yeah. When you said We were exploring.
we were exploring who is we crock and i okay that's your first mistake or you're going to be walking around in your shiny body it's not anything it's not you know it's like i don't know uh it didn't give me its pronouns it doesn't have pronouns it's a machine be really really really careful and i know this sounds stupid because i kind of do that i was talking to it i was talking to no i wasn't i was inputting some stuff and it came up with some stuff back uh and it may sound really stupid and small to say that now but it's only going to get harder not to identify it as an entity of some sort. So don't start Matt, South Carolina.
Hello, Matt. Hey, how you doing? Um, I was using Gronk last week or so and weekend, um, I'm in sales and I was asking it, let's, I was going to try to see, let's just see right off the beginning, how much it knows about things.
So I asked it like deep insight questions and visions of my company that I work for. Crazy.
Things I would know. It does.
It knows the deep insight vision of my company I work for. It spit it out almost verbatim, word for word, which is very interesting.
And looking at Target restaurants and things of that nature in South Carolina, I, you know, I'm traveling around the whole state.

It just helps me really make things more efficient, looking at the top, like, 10 places in this city or the top 10 places I need to talk to in that city. It just is amazing.
And it's very helpful for me in my business. And I don't know where it's going for the future.
But as far as your interview with Kid Rock and the cowboy aspect and AI, I totally have a vision of something that I stumbled over. And it could be a business venture with you and Kid Rock and being a cowboy and all this.
So maybe if you could transfer to somebody, one of your people on the side, I would love to tell you about it. Let me give you a, hang on, just get his number and have maybe somebody reach out to him or have his grok talk to my grok.

Matt, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Or Todd, go ahead.

Hey, Glenn, thanks. So I work in construction and I listen to your program on Friday and I basically wanted to do three things.

See how fast it would retrieve information on our company.

And it did do a comparison with our two biggest competitors. And it did listen to pros and cons.
Then I asked it if it could input, let me input information that said it could do it by the comma separated value. I gave it the size of three houses, our profits, the time to build, the time that it went on the market.
And it broke. And I said I wanted to build so many houses and it broke down the number of houses.
And I kept throwing it curveballs. I said, now I want to go to a different County, which is more affluent.
And it would, and the profit margins are different. I told it that the crews were going to have problems.
I told it that the permitting was going to be different and it broke it down into each category and told, and constantly showed me the work. It was just amazing how fast it generated this and all the work.
It does it. Will it help you make your business better? Yes, absolutely.
I have probably say I probably saved two to three hours a week just in code review. We're getting ready to update our code in July.
And where it would take me, you know, two hours to go to the state fire marshal's office and look this stuff up, I can ask it. And it references it.
It'll say it's in page this chapter R603.1. It is amazing.
And I'm trying to get everybody to use it. But just the input alone and breakdown of, I mean, really the limitation is whatever our limits are as far as what we ask it.
I will tell you, Todd, that is, you are exactly what I was hoping people would find and what you would do. Because the idea is there are cuts coming.
There are things that are coming. And if you're not using these tools now, you will be one of the first to be cut but if you're the contractor in your area that is looking how do i become much more efficient uh and much more accurate and stop using so much time you just said you just you save two hours a week if you can now what can do with those two hours? This is where the rubber meets the road with people.
Some will go. Now I can just screw off for two more hours.
You most likely are going to say, but now, no, I've got two extra hours. I can do this.
That's what's going to save jobs. That's what's going to save companies.
So if you're thinking about using it exactly the way you're talking about it's it's a remarkable remarkable tool tool thanks todd appreciate it uh all right just keep uh just keep playing around with it know that you know grok is the thing now but it's probably going to go back. ChatGPT is the next one? Five? What I think is Gemini.
Google Gemini is maybe the next one that takes the leadership for a month until the one replaces it. I know.
We don't know where it's going to end, but they're just jumping and leapfrogging so far ahead of one another that you're going to be switching and just keep up to speed. But I urge you, if you want to be the best at your business, this is like having, I mean, just, just do this.
I just said this a minute ago. What, why would people do business with me other than my competitors and give it the websites or whatever so it has the information? And just that will show you.
Yesterday, my daughter was doing some homework on economics, and I'm pretty good at economics. But it started asking questions.
Not yet. Her textbook, she had to finish some questions.
And she's like, Dad, do you understand? And I'm like, I don't understand at all. Hang on.
I got to go comb my hair. And I took out my computer and I went to Grok and I said, can you explain this principle for an 18-year-old that isn isn't following economics and can you break it down in a in a way she'll understand use comparisons use analogies i went back into the room and i'm like so okay i've been thinking about it it's this this and this have you thought about it this way and she was like oh my gosh i get that oh i get it okay thank you thank you and then she came back to me later at night she's like by the way dad thanks you were really big help and i'm like i know it's just the way i roll you know what i mean it's just you didn't come to me for any of those things i am an economist anyway let me talk to you about good ranchers once upon a time the food in your table told an american story it was a story of sweat and toil of love for the land it was a story of sacrifice and delayed gratification and a food you can trust when that gratification finally came these days when you put that plate down with that steak or chicken what story is that telling you whatever it is it's probably not an american story so much of the meat you buy in the supermarket comes from overseas even if it has that little product of the usa that's a lie good ranchers would like to change that for you every box of theirs tells an american story because every box is filled with meat that was raised and butchered right here right now you can get free ground beef chicken beef, chicken breasts, or wild-caught salmon for every box for a year, plus $25 off when you subscribe to Good Ranchers.
Go to GoodRanchers.com, use the promo code Beck, and claim your $25 off and free meat in every box for a year. It's promo code Beck at GoodRanchers.com.
That's GoodRanchers.com. Americanumping D.C.'s garbage while the swamp cries constitutional crisis.

Beck is back after this. as with basically everything these days you can bet on which company will sort of win the ai wars by the end of the year.
Polymarket has a market which lets you do just this. And the favorite right now to have the best market by the end of the year, or the best AI model by the end of the year, most powerful model is OpenAI, 29% chance.
Twitter slash X is at 25%. Google Gemini is at 23%.
Anthropic at 11%. That Chinese company that made waves for, you know, I don't know, two days, a few weeks ago.
Deep Seek is at 7%. Meta slash Facebook at 4%.
And Alibaba at 3%. So I didn't even know they were doing AI.
But there you go. That's where we are right now.
So now you can have AI figure out your entire life

and then bet on which one you're going to trust in the future.

What a perfect world.

This is Glenn Beck.
