Could the entire Biden administration, his presidency, Could every signature, every executive order, every dollar shoved out the door be null and void? Why would that be? Because the auto pin. Wait until you hear this story.
Coming up in just a second. First, let me ask you something.
What happens when the supply chain stumbles? I don't mean snaps. I mean just stumbles.
A little hiccup in the system. Trucks are delayed.
Shelves get bare pretty quickly. And your pharmacy runs low

on medications you need the most, especially if that hiccup is between us and China. All of a

sudden, having a backup plan, you know, a supply of the most important medications in your life,

in the lives of your family, doesn't really seem like a bad idea. Jace has a great backup

Thank you. All of a sudden, having a backup plan, you know, a supply of the most important medications in your life and the lives of your family doesn't really seem like a bad idea.

Just knowing that you've got a hand on that will give you peace of mind, and that peace of mind is worth an awful lot nowadays. It's about taking charge of your health and being prepared.
Don't leave your well-being to chance. Here's something special.

Promo code BECK. Don't wait for the unexpected to check you off guard.
Be ready with the right medications on hand the moment you might need them. All right.
So, something broke yesterday afternoon. This is crazy.
The Biden administration, the entire presidency, every signature, every executive order, every dollar shoveled out the door may be null and void. I don't think we're actually going to be able to get that, but we should.

We should because of the auto pin. Now, Obama was the first one to sign an executive order or any law into action with the auto pin because he was in Hawaii and he had to have it signed.
And he, you know, it was like, look, guys, I approve the auto pin. But in this case, did Joe Biden actually approve the signing of the? Remember all of the interviews he did over four years where he would be like, no, we didn't do that.
Yes, you did, Mr. President.
You signed it last week. Oh, was that because he was just senile? Something else that should make everything null and void? Or was it because he really didn't know because he wasn't doing the work?

He wasn't the president because he was incompetent.

Holy cow.

If this is true, this is not just a scandal.

This is a fracture in the spine of the Constitution itself. It's a betrayal of the social contract that we've, you know, had since 1789.
And I don't know about you, but man, we have got to fix these things. I am.
I've always I've always hated taxes, but I don't know. It is really getting hard to even think about paying taxes when you know your money is just propping up thieves and liars.
Wait until we get to the Stacey Abrams update today. I mean, honestly, with all of these things that are going on, have you had the thought, who cares anymore? I mean, why am I playing by the rules? Nobody else is playing by the rules.
They all get away with it. Why can't I? Have you thought that? Really dangerous for a civilization.
Really bad. So, how do they get away? I mean, look at Biden biden himself decades in the senate oh i'm public servant really then he was vice president and somehow or another this guy who was just lunchbox joe came out a multiple hundred millionaire how is that possible his family was raking in the cash None of them really seem to have any talent i mean unless it's you know demonstrating the weird things you can do on drugs the hunter biden laptop alone was a sewer of influence peddling foreign deals and god only know well god probably doesn't know but Satan absolutely knows what else.
He didn't get rich on a public servant's salary. Let's be honest.
And everybody, even if you voted for him and liked him, you should be able to admit to yourself, at least, The guy got rich by selling out his country.

And he strapped my kids, your kids, to a debt they're never going to climb out from under. $34 trillion and counting.
And that money was borrowed from China or enemies who would love to see us crumble. and because he did it all on short-term loans, we are now having to re-up all of those loans at interest rates that are going to choke us to death.
And if they didn't borrow the money, they just printed it. Oh, we'll never do that.
Wait, you did. You printed it.
They flooded our system with all kinds of funny money until your groceries have doubled in price your rent has spiked if you own your home and god forbid you had an adjustable mortgage can you make that payment now you're staring at a credit card statement that you just can't pay that's not inflation in this case it's theft and we got to stop pretending it's this case, it's theft.

And we got to stop pretending it's anything else. It's theft.
Wait until I get to the latest on the graph and what they're finding. This story is not just about Biden, and it's not something that we should all go, oh, well, maybe we can work the system and say, none of that applied because of the auto pen.
If this story actually holds, that says someone else was running the show.

Who?

Who?

Does anybody care about that?

It's like, he wasn't the president.

He wasn't competent.

He wasn't even competent to stand trial.

But we don't want to know who was running the country. Wow.
Some faceless puppet master behind the scenes running everything through auto pen. Maybe it was a group of people.
I don't know. And then we were all told, yeah, clap.
The emperor has no clothes, but isn't it beautiful? No. Every law, every rule, every promise we've ever made as a nation, gone.

If this is true, gone.

Because the Constitution makes this one really clear.

We vote for a president, not a machine, and not a cabal. May I? Article 2, Section 1.

I got my Constitution in my pocket at all times. The executive power shall be vested in the

President of the United States of America. You know what that means.
Yeah, no robots,

no auto pins. Nobody just, hey, just feed this one in.
He'll never know. If this is real, every action Biden or whoever was behind him, everything they did is legal fiction.
I've been saying recently, you know, we always thought, because I grew up on Gilligan's Island. Well, not on Gilligan's, you know what I mean uh we always thought quicksand was going to be a big when i was a kid quicksand it's gonna you're gonna deal with quicksand so make sure you don't go in and you know you gotta find a vine or a stick but don't go in yourself because then you'll be in the quick i always thought we had to this is a house of cards built on quicksand.

And yet we all know that and we all seem to be a little quiet while we're all footing the bill for it. $2 billion for Stacey Abrams' machine.
$7 billion to what appears to be a completely fake charity. I don't know.
I kind of have a problem with that. All borrowed, all printed, all shoveled out while we were being told, there's no food left on the show.
This is all we can do for the people in North Carolina. Oh, my gosh.
You should tighten your belt because we're living paycheck to paycheck here in Washington. We can barely keep the lights of the White House on.
That's not corruption. Dude, that's a middle finger to every hardworking American who ever believed in this place.
Man, these smug overlords. Did you see? Did you see when they when they voted to chastise the what was it? Al Green that stood up during the speech and they all started singing like it was a civil rights movement are you oh my gosh i'm so sick of these people they've turned our kids into guinea pigs our kids are graduating they don't know how to read ah what read who needs that they've convinced them they're all born in the wrong body they pumped up full of confusion while we pay for the counselors and the surgeries and the propaganda and we're all like his parents i don't know i didn't deal with this as a kid what do i do i have no idea well listen to the experts you should definitely have her boobs cut off okay i don't think that's good every time we pay this crap, every time a kid gives up on their dreams, every time somebody loses faith that hard work means anything anymore, that's when we're paying for it.
Not just on tax day. We're paying for it every single day.
Not them. We are.
Your tax dollars, your sweat, your hope, your kids' future, all siphoned up to what? Pay for some people that despise us, who have plans to destroy everything that we believe in? That doesn't sound right. So no, no, seriously.
So Biden can retire in Delaware fat and happy with all of his kids, not going to jail, not being questioned, not even being accused of anything by polite society. This is kind of what I warned about when I said, hey, social justice isn't a thing.
We should focus on justice, justice. Those who pulled this off, whether it's the auto pin scandal or the billions that I'm going to tell you about here in a few minutes that has been funneled to their buddies.
Have you noticed nobody's naming them? Have you noticed there's no real look into, hey, who was running the auto pin who who was covering up in the white house who in the cabinet that never had a cabinet meeting with the president who was it that didn't raise their hand and go this is weird i talked to him and i don't think he understood even who I was. Is that not? Nope.
Not even worth a question. You know, here's what's most frustrating about all this crap.
Even though I believe in the Trump administration, I think they're doing miraculous things. I think they're moving at hyper speed.
I've seen things that I've never seen before, never thought were even possible. I don't know.
I still fear the DOJ is not going to do anything. Maybe it's just me.
I know the media is not going to name them. I know we're going to be the ones that pay the price, not just with our wallet, but just a little bit more of our soul every day.
But they're not going to pay it. I mean, do you have faith? I mean, this is how bad it is.
Do you have faith that right still wins? That the right even matters? That the scales of justice ever really balance? I believe God's justice. I believe i'm fine you know in some cases i'm absolutely fine you know they were murdering people and uh they seem to get away with it oh well i guess i won't be seeing them in the afterlife i'm cold i'm totally cool with that but when everybody seems to be murdering our dreams and everything we believe in, I don't know, I have a hard time waiting for Jesus.
Because we are not just broke. If we allow this to continue, we're broken.
And all of us should be really furious. All of us.
And not you know i love usa us i hate that not some flag waving fury but i don't know more refined quiet seething of outrage that comes from watching something that we all think is sacred. Just getting trampled.
And us being told, sit down, you jingoistic heathen. Do you even speak the same language? I can just tell.
You smell. And this isn't about party lines.
I this is i mean i don't even know the supremacy of the constitution uh yeah but even that's a little highfalutin here i mean i know they didn't write those words our founders so some grifter could cash out and leave us holding the bag that would be problem especially with something that starts with i don't know we the people it wasn't a slogan it was kind of a covenant but it's more of a bumper sticker now it has broken been broken a long time not just by biden but whoever is it was steering the ship in those last four years and a lot of presidents before them. But here's what I guess this is the thing I'm really I'm very hopeful because it's changing.
And yet I'm still a little pissy about it. Sometimes I'm disgusted with them.
You know, I'm disgusted by the greed and the arrogance and the sheer evil of it is a is a little overwhelming at times, but I'm also really kind of disgusted with me. You know? How did we ever let it get this far? How were we so blind for so long? How did we let them take our country for decades and turn it into their personal ATM? Let me break down some numbers for you in a second.
Give me 60 seconds. First, I want to talk to you about something that's incredibly important, your sleep.
You know, you work hard. Every day you go out in the world, you fight the good fight.
And when the day is done, I think you deserve to walk through your door into a really comfy house, a sanctuary, you know. That's where Cozy Earth comes in.
Their luxury bedding made from 100% viscose bamboo. Ooh, that sounds like French bamboo.
They should really stop advertising the bamboo thing. You might want to de-emphasize that because that sounds really uncomfortable but then when you touch it you're like wow and then you go this is bamboo uh-huh yeah forget about the bamboo thing this is temperature regulating breathable it is it's it's so cool you're not going to sleep hot again their pajamas which my wife discovered before I even heard of Cozy Earth, she knew about them.
And when I brought the sheets home, she was like, yeah, Cozy Earth. Hello.
They make bath towels and everything. It's really good.
Cozy Earth's bedding products come with a 10-year warranty, 100-night sleep trial. You know what that says? Yeah, they believe in their product.

So let me give you some numbers.

$7 billion, and I'm going to break this down for you next hour.

$7 billion.

Seven. And it went to friends and charities that don't even pretend to be legitimate.
You know, they don't even pretend to serve us. I mean, it's such a scam.
Wait till you hear this. That's not us being generous.
Okay. That's not generosity.
You know what? We as the administration, we're going to give $7 billion dollars you know that now that's not generosity you know what we as a we as the administration we're going to give seven billion dollars you know that no that's not generous that's looting and that makes april 15th not our patriotic duty but since they're going to throw us in jail and knock down our door with guys with guns every time you write that tax check i think it's armed robbery at this point and then they borrow all the money that they can't, they can't live on the biggest windfall of taxes the country has ever seen. We have more money coming in than ever before.
They can't live on that one. And that's why your dollar is buying about half of what it used to.
I'm not an economist i am a thinker and every time we swipe our card and pray it doesn't decline wouldn't you like to see them swipe their card and have it not uh accepted except their card is our card and if that happens we all are screwed Every time you see a for sale sign on a house,

on a house, you can't, you'll be like, I'll never live there. Every time we hear about another factory closing while the stock market is like, stock market's up.
It means you're not just in debt. You're in chains.
If I have time today, I'm going to talk to you about something else really really pisses me off, and that is property tax. I'm on a rampage about taxes.
Why? Because they can't live inside any normal framework. Our kids, hey, welcome to the world, kid.
Here, here's your shackles. and you know what's great about your life here in America is when you grow up, you're going to inherit a mess that you didn't make.
You had nothing to do with it. And the people who made the mess, they're sipping cocktails and laughing.
No, thank you. I mean, I don't want vengeance.
I don't want blood. But I do want justice.
I want every law they broke laid bare. I want every dollar they stole from you and me and everybody else accounted for.
If Biden's presidency was a sham, if the auto pen was the real commander in chief, everyone around that knew should go to jail. And then every order, every act, and every cent spent is illegitimate.
Null and void. Huh.
Time we tear it all down. I'm so glad we have Doge in there.
Rewind the tape, undo the damage, hold the guilty to the fire. Not because I want chaos, but I don't know.
I want the rule of law to mean something again. This is Glenn Beck.
Oh my gosh, that's me. What a coincidence.
From the ruins of Rome to the ashes of the Weimar Republic, history whispers a warning to all of us. Paper money dies.
The ghosts of fallen nations are screaming a warning at america yeah question is we're gonna listen this time no it's different this time is it you and i affect washington with our votes and i think we did a good job recently but beyond that there's not much we can do to stop the economic chaos if and when it comes. And I hear that train coming.

What can you do? Well, prepare yourself and your family for it. If you can afford silver or gold, that's great.
Otherwise, I'd prepare by, I don't know, joining a faith family. So, you know, you're around a bunch of people that care about each other so you can help each other out.
But we know gold and silver have withstood the economic hardships better than anything else all throughout history. So don't wait for the storm to arrive.

All right, coming up in just a second, I've got Josh Hammer. He's the Newsweek Senior Editor-at-Large and a good friend of the program.
Next. Welcome to the program.
The senior editor at large and the host of Newsweek, I'm sorry, of Newsweek, senior editor at large of Newsweek and host of America's on Trial. Also the author of a new book, Israel and Civilization.
Josh Hammer is joining us. And I wanted to talk to him because he's a really good judicial mind.

And, Josh, I really am having a hard time getting my hands and my arms around this Supreme Court ruling this week where the administration can't pause and say, hey, can we look into that funding first before we spend it? Can you explain this ruling? Well, Glenn, great to join you, my friend. So I'm not sure that I can necessarily apologize for it.
I happen to think that Justice Samolito got it exactly right in dissent. I think what the majority is doing, and they gave us a rather unhelpful one paragraph.
It was kind of a hastily, sloppily written thing that they probably had a law clerk do just in a hot minute there, so they didn't really give it the time of day. But they seem to be relying on this purported massive distinction between the procedural posture of a temporary restraining order versus a full-on preliminary injunction, one of these infamous so-called nationwide injunctions, which, by the way, are totally wildly unconstitutional.
And they seem to be saying that we're going to wait until the judge down below calls this an injunction, not a temporary restraining order. The problem, Glenn, among other factors, is that when you keep on extending a so-called temporary restraining order, at some point it ceases to be temporary.
At some point it actually takes on the effect of one of these so-called nationwide injunctions, whatever you want to call it, whatever you want to self-style it in order to try to evade SCOTUS review there. But Sam Alito and the Justice Defending, they get it totally right there.
You know, I think a situation like this, Glenn, some of the other cases that we've seen from the judicial resistance, which when I'm feeling a little less charitable, I like to call it actually the judicial insurrection. I think that they're really just challenging the fundamental separation of powers itself.
I mean, you really have to look at this at a fundamental Article I, Article II, Article III type of situation there. The notion

that a single district court judge, whether it's in Washington, D.C., Hawaii, Seattle, Washington,

New Hampshire, whatever, the notion that one judge could bring the entire executive branch

to a halt when it comes to bread and butter discretionary funding decisions there. I mean,

this is the kind of thing that would have struck Thomas Jefferson back when he was writing this

1804 letter to Abigail Adams, John Adams' wife. He basically said that to give judges this kind of power would bring the judiciary into the realm of a despotic branch.
Abraham Lincoln, my hero of all heroes in American history, viewed the Supreme Court and the judiciary very, very similar there. So we're really kind of heading off, Glenn, to an actual constitutional crisis.
The media actually has that largely correct. Unfortunately, they are pointing in the wrong direction.
They're pointing in that constitutional crisis on Trump. But the real constitutional crisis, Glenn, is coming from these lower court judicial activists, frankly, these judicial insurrectionists.
Okay, let's say that because I think this is what America is kind of hearing. Let's say this is the actual argument that Congress said you got to spend the money they have the the purse strings and uh and Trump said hold on it looks like this is graft uh and I don't think we should spend this money and the judge said you know you know you can't even stop and take a breath and look at that.
And so, you know, I was thinking about it yesterday. If my wife and I approved and allotted a bunch of money and then told my brother, assigned him, you know, play the role of the president in this case, and said to my brother, you know what? I need you to pay the tuition of the school for my kids.
And then he didn't pay it. And I went, what the hell are you doing?

And he said, Glenn, I'm telling you, it looks like this school is a complete scam.

It's going to be a waste of your money.

And it might even be completely opposed to what you and your wife wanted in a school.

I, for one, would not be pissed at him.

I'd be like, oh, thank God.

What did you find out?

Or take a look.

You know, how is this not common sense that this can happen or am i missing the argument is that not the argument so i i don't think you're missing anything what i what i will say is that kind of going to the constitutional merits here getting out of the procedural weeds of the temporary restraining order type stuff. The actual constitutional argument that I think John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett are probably sympathetic to, get to this debate over what the lawyers call presidential impoundment, so impoundment of federal funds, which is the idea, which is kind of what you're getting at in your hypothetical, that even though a different body has authorized funding there, then the actual party responsible for literally dispersing the fund can then make a decision as to whether or not this is going to its best use.
So this is called impoundment of congressionally authorized funds. It actually has a long and illustrious pedigree.
It was actually Thomas Jefferson, believe it or not, who was the first president to impound the congressionally authorized funds back around 1801, if I have the year correctly there. Richard Nixon was viewed by some in Congress at the time as abusing the impoundment privilege, which is why Congress passed a statute called the Impoundment Control Act, which has not been constitutionally challenged.
That's kind of just been left as the law for the better part of a half century now. But this is a longstanding constitutional debate.
And to my knowledge, Glenn, I don't think the court has ever directly ruled, actually, one way or the other, as to whether presidential empowerment of funds does run afoul of the Constitution or not. I personally think it makes a lot of sense, actually, for the very reasons that you just kind of outlined in your hypothetical about the school funding.
But that's just one of many constitutional issues, frankly, that this court is set to rule on, I would suspect, over the next couple of years, along with birthright citizenship, nationwide injunctions. There's no shortage of high-profile constitutional issues headed the Supreme Court's way, I think.
So I want to ask you about two judges, one of which I don't understand, and the other one I don't think America understands. First, the lower court judge.

The guy was an activist, partisan far-left litigator like 10 minutes ago,

who I believe said he wanted to undermine Roberts Court.

And then you have the other massive disappointment of Amy Coney Barrett.

I mean, what the hell happened to her? Can you talk about both of those judges? For sure. So you're totally right about Judge Amir Ali.
So he was a left-wing activist litigator as recently as like five months ago. Glenn, he didn't resume his seat on the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia until the lame duck session of Congress. He was part of the lame duck deals that were being made by Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer.
He literally assumed office on November 22nd, if I have the date right there. And this is someone who you're totally right.
He was very outspoken publicly in his prejudicial life as a left-wing litigator. He was saying that the Roberts Court is tyrannical and he wants to undermine the legitimacy of it.
So, I mean, what a Banana Republic type situation that this is the guy who is now telling the executive branch that you cannot choose whether or not to disperse this $2 billion in extraordinarily dubious funding there. So, I mean, that makes America look fundamentally unserious, frankly, the fact that this is a guy who's doing that.
Almost fruit from a poisoned tree. But now go to Amy Coney Barrett.
So Amy Coney Barrett is a tremendous disappointment. I don't think that we should mince words at this point there.
There are more than enough data points to indicate that she does not have the fortitude, the spine, the courage of her convictions her convictions i mean there's all sorts of things

that you can say to try to kind of apologize for her but at some point you kind of have to just bluntly assess where we are and she's heading the way of david souter i'm not going to say that she is that she's not there yet i mean she still rules the correct way in any number of high profile cases the affirmative action case obviously the dobbs abortion case that overturned roe versus ways. But she is clearly

the weakest link of the

three Trump nominees. Glenn, I have one kind of overarching take on this, which is, in hindsight, Amy Coney Barrett was not a particularly impressive Supreme Court nominee in the first place there.
She was somewhat of a middling academic in Notre Dame. She was not a particularly prolific academic.
She was nominated to the Seventh Circuit because, you know, young, affable, beautiful family, former Scalia clerk and so forth there. But if you go back and listen to her Seventh Circuit confirmation hearing there, I think what happened, Glenn, do you remember that infamous exchange with Dianne Feinstein, the late senator from California, where she says to Amy Coney Barrett, the dogma lives loudly within you.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a disgusting thing, dripping with anti-Catholic bigotry and just kind of anti-religious sentiment in general there.
But I think what happened, Glenn, my true sense on this, is that we essentially allowed Dianne Feinstein to make Amy Coney Barrett a folk hero. And she didn't necessarily deserve that status, really.
But that's ultimately what I think led the powers that be to tap her to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg after Ginsburg passed away in the waning months of the Trump presidency in September 2020. So my my upshot is we can't do this again.
We cannot let people like Dianne Feinstein essentially take our nominees and then vault them off the food chains so that they're in a position there. Now, we have to make sure that we are doing the homework there.
Show us your track record. Have you actually ruled on all of the relevant cases, not just regulatory, economic, administrative state issues? Have you actually ruled on the civilizational cases, the cultural cases there? Have you actually called out wokeism, DEI, and all the various manifestations of cultural Marxism from your judicial chambers there? Are you going to get there and are you going to demonstrate an eagerness to overturn flawed precedent and not looking for all of these various procedural quirks to avoid ruling on the merits, whether it's punting on Article three standing grounds, which Amy Coney Barrett did last year in the Murphy versus Missouri case, the massive big tech free speech case there.
What is your view of stare decisis when it comes to precedent? Are you going to to be a chicken when it comes to the possibility of overturning a flawed 30, 50, 70 year old precedent there? I mean, these are the kind of things that we have to do a much better job of vetting for next time there, because Barrett quickly really is turning into a disappointment there. And I'm sick of people apologizing for her at this point she's really going to have to turn around or i think we're otherwise in a pretty bad state yeah again um i've got so many questions on that i mean i don't know why it always happens in that direction and never the other way but um let me ask you let me ask you this what are the odds do you think how likely is it Trump is going to get another bite at the apple in the next four, three and a half years?

And who's advising him this time?

You know, he came out with the list last time and then he went off that list.

And we kind of got in trouble when he went off the list.

Does he get it? And are we going to get somebody good? And how likely it is we get another bite at the apple this this time well glenn i do think it's likelier than not certainly that we get a bite at the apple unfortunately the the likeliest bites at the apple are probably coming from our strongest so it's it's sam alito and clarence thomas are the two most likely to to resign over the next few years there but they're also our two strongest justices. I,'s Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas are the two most likely to

resign over the next few years there, but they're also our two strongest justices. I do think that

there is probably a slightly higher than 50-50 chance that Sam Alito resigns over the next

couple of years. If I had to guess, I think he's slightly more likely than Justice Thomas.

But Sam Alito is an absolute rock star. So that only kind of elevates the stakes and makes us really make sure that we have to pick someone rock solid to replace him there.
I mean, I'll tell you, Glenn, in my opinion, who the replacement for the next justice should be. I'm biased, but I think it should be my former boss right there in North Texas, Judge James C.
Ho of the U.S. Court Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
Oh, he's great. He's great.
Glenn, I was one of his first four law clerks. We literally started that chambers in Dallas, Texas back in 2018.
What an absolute rock star there. That's who I would personally advise the president to pick to fill the next seat, whether it comes from Justice Alito, Justice Thomas or someone else there.
But again, we have to make sure we do better than we did the first time around, because even Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, they're better than Barrett, but frankly, none of these three guys are on the same level as Clarence Thomas or Sam Alito. What a chance that Mike Lee is ever nominated.
I love Mike Lee. I actually was a sentientary committee law clerk for Mike Lee over a decade ago after my first year of law school, working mostly on constitutional and antitrust issues.
So I adore Mike Lee. I think he's an amazing patriot.
I think there's decent odds. I mean, he's very close, certainly, to President Trump these days, much closer than he was maybe five, 10 years ago or so there.
I think it's ultimately less likely these days, Glenn, that a U.S. senator gets tasked for a SCOTUS seat simply just because partisan politics these days are what they are.
But if you're going to choose anyone from the Senate, certainly him or Ted Cruz would be fantastic choices. Josh Hawley, too, for that matter.
All right. Thank you so much for kind of making sense of all of this, Josh.
Josh Hammer, Newsweek senior editor-at-large, host of America on Trial. And he has a new book.
And I have to have you back on your book. Author of the new book, Israel and Civilization.
But kind of an important topic. And we'll talk to you about that again later when you have me back on.
Josh Hammer, thank you so much. You bet.
Thank you so much. All right.
Everything affects the housing market. Here are just a few things.
Interest rate policies, housing legislation, tax policy changes, infrastructure spending. I mean, oh, my gosh, my eyes are glazing over right now because the list goes on and on.
And it's also boring. But buying and selling a home is a complicated thing, partly because it's taking place in a market that is affected by a thousand different things all at once.
So if you're about to dip your toe into the rushing river, may I suggest you consider getting somebody who's like a really, really good real estate agent and also their eyes didn't glaze over when I was reading that list of stuff that just would bore the snot out of me for decades. One who knows how the market works and how the process itself works, like the back of his or her hand.
I started a business over a decade ago called Real Estate Agents I Trust, and the job is to set you up with the best real estate agent in your area. I didn't know how to vet these people myself until I started working with what the Wall Street Journal said was the 500 best real estate agents in the country.

And they all had certain things in common.

And all we did was like, hey, connect the dots here.

That's what we got to find the real estate agents that have those dots in their life.

And that's what we found for you.

And that's what we'll recommend to you.

It's a free service.

I don't charge you anything for it.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

The name says it all.

Go to realestateagentsitrust.com. The name says it all.
Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

Do it now.

Well, I guess we'll give you a minute to let all that sink in.

More Glenn Beck coming up. We just share with you and answer some of the comments that are from Blaze TV subscribers are watching the show.
And Sue wrote in and she said, I want something dumb. In another time, these men would be hung in public for treason.
But then we became civilized. Well, yeah, I don't necessarily think I want to just get a rope.
However, I do want examples made because we've gone from, you know, hang them to it doesn't matter. It doesn't.
That's the problem. We've just all surrendered to it's always been like this.
No, it hasn't. I'm going to show you next hour.
No, it hasn't. Pygmy wrote in and said, why can't we get away with no justice, no peace? Michael makes you wonder if the auto pen was used on the pardons.
Absolutely was. Frank said the auto pen and teleprompter should run for the 2028 democratic presidential ticket at least they'd be honest quite honestly frank i think you're right you can join the conversation just head to blaze tv.com slash glenn in fact use blaze 47.com and the promo code 47 you're saved 47 off they haven't changed it yet quick before they figure that out do it now and save big blaze 47.com promo code 47 this is glenn beck you know i know that uh 2020 feels like oh i don't know 50 years ago now but do you remember when there was that massive ammunition shortage all over the country kind of freakyaky time for gun owners.
I still kind of like, I still am hoarding. But there's an Idaho company now that's working hard to make sure that that never happens again.
They're called Ammo Squared. And they've been around since 2015.
They've helped over 80,000 of their members automatically stockpile ammunition. I love this.
All you need to do is sign up. pick which ammunition you might want from over 70 different calibers, set an automatic buying budget, and then set up the shipping.
It's really, really easy. Then over time, your ammo is going to accumulate and ammo squared is going to store it in their climate controlled warehouse until you're ready to have them ship it.
There are no minimums. There are no extra fees, which means it's perfect for small budgets or for anybody who wants to build up a stockpile of Second Amendment tools without having to spend a bunch of money up front.
It is the easiest way to stay prepared without the hassle. I want you to try it.
I want you to just go there now and just look at the website, AmmoSquared.com. Take all the work out of buying ammo and take all the, geez, I wish I would have bought it then.

80,000 members and thousands of five-star ratings cannot be wrong.

It's AmmoSquared.com.

Check them out today.

AmmoSquared.com. Thank you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh much going on. By the way, it's Friday.
Welcome to the program. There's so much going on now, and it's happening so rapidly that it's hard to pay attention because you don't know.
It just, you hear it in the news and then it moves on. And what just happened? So there is a really, really important thing.
We've talked about it a couple of times with Stacey Abrams, but now we're starting to see the big picture here. The Climate United Fund.
Billions have been stolen for you, funneled through, you know, a shadowy non-profit. I mean, really, is that what it was? And it was all cloaked in the, you know what? You don't care about the climate.
We're going to save the planet. All that sanctimonious bull crap.
So let me tear it apart for you. Let me answer some basic questions on what happened, what it means to you, who's behind it, what we have to do, and the hope and the warning of what happens if we just shrug our shoulders on this one too we'll do that in 60 seconds first war poverty anti-semitism for millions of jews in israel and around the world these aren't just words to be used in headlines they're daily realities and in a word that is in a world that is constantly divided uh in about just about every possible.
I read a headline today that said now less than 50% of Americans are siding with Israel on the whole October 7th thing. That's a really bad sign.
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews brings people of goodwill together to support Israel and the Jewish communities in need. Look, I want Israel to fight their own battles.
I'm not going to fight any of them for them. I don't want our country doing it.
But when it comes to standing up for people, the IFCJ has delivered hope and food to the hungry and shelter for the homeless and safety for those who are fleeing persecution. This is Christians and Jews standing together, fulfilling God's promise to bless all those who bless Israel.
Give a gift to bless Israel and our people. Do it today.
Support ifcj.org. That's all one word.
Support ifcj.org or call 888-488-IFCJ. 888-488-IFCJ.
All right, so let me tear this story apart, and let's just start with what happened. This happened last spring, okay? The lame duck presidency.
Right around the same time when, I don't know if you heard the story that I talked about last hour about the auto pen scandal. Apparently, everything that Biden signed was done by auto pen except for him saying, I'm not going to run.

That's weird, isn't it?

So right around that same time, April 2024, the Biden-Harris administration via the EPA handed over $7 billion of your money to a ghost called the United Climate Fund. Oh, that's a good name.
Therefore, the climate. Now, $7 billion, that's not the real story.
This was all part of a $20 billion jackpot from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. That was tacked in and tucked in so you couldn't really find it in the so-called inflation reduction act that had nothing to do with reducing inflation nothing it was a scam so it was all about the green thing they sold us climate salvation but what it really was was robbery okay this fund wasn't some titan of green innovation they're like we we've dedicated our whole lives it popped up in Delaware on November 30th 2022 it was barely five months old when the cash started to flow.

Okay.

It's tax filings, a complete disgrace. It's first year.
It had $547,000 in revenue. It blew through and just torched 451 of those things in two months, $451,000 in two months.
uh 323,000 just vanished in other expenses uh I mean it's a black hole no explanation just I don't need to tell you the legal fees gobbled up more uh the vague promises of 50 million dollars in solar projects. That's what they were saying.

Where are $50 million?

Where was any of that?

Then the mask slips off.

We find out that they were funneling cash to power forward communities.

Don't just some of the names of these organizations just piss you off.

Just if somebody came to you and said, I'm for power forward communities, I'd slam the door in your face. Not interested.
All right. That thing is tied to Stacey Abrams.
Huh. So a political insider.
Gets a bunch of money because she's the teacher's pet no transparency on that no accountability it's

just a shell stacy abrams this power forward communities if you thought the other one was a

sham she had only raised a hundred dollars a hundred dollars not a hundred thousand a hundred

dollars you could get that from the guy who's begging on the street if you want to if you want

to rob him i'll bet you if he spends a couple of days just at a street corner he's got a hundred bucks maybe even a day that's all she could raise for her own organization and then suddenly biden comes in is like you know it is two billion dollars oh that seems right so there's no transparency there's no accountability in december it was project veritas that caught an epa official spilling the truth on this one uh he said this was an insurance policy against trump winning now what does that mean what does that mean so all it was was a desperate cash dump before the clock ran out they're giving it

to their friends why now under the you know department of government efficiency doge they

blew the lid off of this thing the 20 billion dollars was stashed at citibank it's being clawed

back now by the government uh it isn't incompetence it's calculated theft that's what it is

Let's go. billion dollars was stashed at Citibank.
It's being clawed back now by the government. It isn't incompetence.
It's calculated theft. That's what it is.
Theft of your money, your labor, your nation, quite honestly. So now that's what happened.
Now, here's what it means. And let me give you some historic perspective here.
I want you to feel this in your gut. And it's going to sound like it's no big deal but i want you to really understand what just this one piece means directly to you seven billion dollars is twenty dollars per american not taxpayer per american family of four when you tally in the full 20 billion, that's $240 that's just gone from your bank account.
Actually not, because take $240 per family and then just add the interest rate that we're going to be paying China for that borrowed cash. It's going to be a lot more than that.
So that's groceries, gas, your kids' did it go stacy abrams big pockets and she's a big person so she has big pockets now even if you have stacy abrams size pockets that's not pocket change historically this dwarfs oh did he just used the, I did. Dwarfs scandals that we have learned.
I don't even remember what it was, but the teapot dome scandal. When did it happen, kids? 1920.
Can anybody tell me what it was? No, because you told me just to memorize the date when it happened. I know what happened in the 20s.
I don't know anything else about it. So let me just remind you.
In adjusted dollars, the teapot dome scandal that we are told we must memorize, that cost in today's adjusted dollars, $400 million. $400 million, and we're still teaching about that scandal.
This is $20 billion. Okay.
I mean, really, you look at the teapot dome scandal now, and your kids should be like, rookies. Watergate was a break-in.
Jail time. Prison.

Break-in.

It wasn't a billion-dollar siphon.

There was no money stolen.

Nothing happened in Watergate.

Prison time.

You know the savings and loan scandal?

George Bush's brother was involved.

Yeah, he was.

Yeah, he was. And that scandal that scandal was 160 billion over 10 years this is 20 billion like in a day hey you know what call her up can we get the epa on the phone i'm 20 billion dollars okay so uh i don't know that's kind of fast but we AI now.
Should be a little faster. So this is your money, your voice, gone.
Constitution, Article 1, Section 9. It talks no dollar will leave the Treasury without law.
Law for us, apparently not for them. So remember, you're still working today.
Every dollar you're going to make at work today is going to go to the federal government when you break it out over a year you will be working i think it's this year till april 19th from january 1st to april 19th just to pay your taxes and what happened to those dollars that you've worked from January 1st to April 19th this year? I don't know. Stacey Abrams stuffed it in her big butt someplace and money shooting out to whom? I don't know.
I don't know. I worked hard for my money.
What did Stacey Abrams do for hers? Okay, so now who's involved and who might be

involved? Well, Biden-Harris, because they signed off on this. Kamala Harris said this was her legacy, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.
All right, so good. Let's make sure she understands that's her legacy.
Now, the EPA chief under Biden, Michael Regan, he was the bag man. He's the guy who doled out the millions.
The Climate United Fund, their officers, I don't know. I don't know.
Scooby-Doo van, we're sending it out. The kids are going to be able to unmask him eventually.
But I don't know. Scooby's kind of old at this but even the scooby snacks didn't keep him in that van very long but uh their tax forms are hiding all of the names of the officers so we don't really know but abrams power forward that one what does that smell it smells like rotten garbage no ah that that's Stacey Abrams power forward.

Citibank held all the loot.

No foul play proven yet, but they are in the frame. And Citibank, if you did anything wrong, I pray to God we come and get you too.
The EPA whistleblower. he's a cog but uh in their words uh it's a cabal at the very top that knew this was just pre-election cash that's all it was all the monies if you're a democrat all the money that you sent in what was it a trillion dollars that people donated and you kind of went where did that money go yeah it lined the pockets it's in stacy abrams butt someplace i think it is i don't i don't know that for a fact that that's where she keeps it but it's kind of a big but so who else is involved dig a little deeper here who else is involved well the obama era loyalists i can't wait to tell you about that climate grifters congressionalablers.
They were the ones that slipped this into the law. The Doge crew, Musk, EPA, the head of the EPA now, Lee Zeldin.
I love you. They got the scalpel out and it's kind of sharp.
Justice and the inspector general going to name names, or at least that's what they say. But understand, this is not a lone wolf.
It it's just a lone one this is a whole pack and they have been feeding on the american carcass they got blood all over their face i think we should go wolf hunting myself now who could possibly be against tracking this down because not everybody is cheering Doge and Elon Musk. In fact, he's a Nazi.
Did you hear that? We don't have Nazis around here. I haven't heard anybody call anybody a Nazi ever.
Okay, so it's going to be the entrenched, the deep staters that are going to fight tooth and nail on this. They might even break out in song.

We shall overcome.

Good God.

It's not 1965.

Shut up.

Anyway, they might break out in song.

I don't know.

But the climate lobby, these NGOs, the green tech firms, the banks, billions of dollars.

And they're all going to say, but the planet is in peril.

And that's why we don't know what would burn down. That's why we wanted to keep it someplace moist like Stacey Abrams' butt.
now the democratic operatives that are tied to abrams and joe biden yeah they're not they're not happy about this because they're going to be exposed but they're here's what's going to be exposed the patrogyn network that's their lifeblood that's how they keep have you ever wondered how have you ever said this because i have where the hell are the republican billionaires? Doesn't it seem like anybody who wants to destroy the country, they got billions of dollars behind them, right? And you're like, you know, the billionaires on the left, they just give all this money. No, you've been giving all of this money.
They've been funneling your money to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars to these people that want to destroy america that's what's been going on and then you have the bureaucrats in the epa and the government i mean the careerist who would rather you know they'd rather just go down with a fight because they're going to lose their fiefdom and then their power and their survival and the money and everything else look 20 billion dollars a slush fund buys an awful lot of loyalty influence votes you rip that away and the empire crumbles well it doesn't crumble but it's a good hit to that because there's hundreds of billions that are in these slush funds and the big banks like citibank i think they're quietly squirming they're not now we had nothing to do it yeah that's what the banks of the mob says and don't forget the media they're not going to be for it okay so that's what happened that's why it matters, how historically huge it it is and who's not for all of this. So now let me tell you what comes next.
I'll do that in 60 seconds. So daily life can be chaos.
We got all the things you have to do today and then tomorrow looms over your head and it screams in your face. A million other things that you have to pay attention to.
By the time your head hits the pillow at night, your brain is, I mean, the only thing that left in my brain at like literally last night, I think it was one o'clock in the morning, little hamster just running on his wheel. It's just like, I've got to do a lot of work today.
I know, and it's a hamster. So it's a lot of stuff to put through on a hamster.
I'm there. Last night, I couldn't go to sleep.

or call 1-800-4-RELIEF. 800, the number four, relief.
10 seconds, station ID.

okay here's the fun part and also the frustrating part because i can't tell you how many years i've been saying this is what we should do and we all like yeah that's right and then we hire somebody to do it and then they don't do it and you're then you later find out and you're like wait wait they they started another scam that we're now finding out about i thought they were on side. OK, we have a chance that these guys are actually.
I mean, I think they are who we think they are this time, but we'll we'll know quickly. So the government and the Trump administration, please hear us act on this.
First, seize every dime. Zeldin is already on this.

But can we finish the job?

Second, prosecute.

I'm waiting for Kash Patel.

Track it down.

Then I'm going to wait for Pam Bondi. If he finds the proof, proof, prosecute.

You know, you guys need to understand the two words that we haven't heard in a long time swift justice i want you to cross the t's dot all the i's i want to make sure that we're not running rough shot over anybody that you know but if you find the proof that people are dirty move let's see you guys actually start to move that would be nice you, this is much more important to me. Maybe I'm alone in this than who killed Kennedy and, you know, before I was born.
I mean, that's cool and everything. We'll talk about that for a long time when it comes out, but it really doesn't matter.
Anybody who's involved in that is dead. So I'd rather see you working on this stuff and we'll wait for the Kennedy thing.
I mean, I mean, we shouldn't have to. I mean, I think you guys can chew gum and walk at the same time, but act on this and no mercy for people who betrayed the constitution and the rule of law and the oath that they swore that they would uphold.
No mercy. Third, gut the greenhouse gas reduction fund.
Audit every single NGO that it touched. Congress, wield your Article I power over the purse and starve this beast to death.
Because if you don't, I mean, Madison said in Federalist 47, concentrated power is tyranny seed. Yeah, well, it's no longer a seed.
I mean, I think this is a pretty big bamboo forest at this time. Get it under control.
This isn't about climate. This is about control.
You, me, flood Congress lines and then the Senate. Share the outrage with everybody else and vote for warriors who will cut the head off this hydra.
This is Glenn Beck. All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
Pain is a battle every day. Millions of hardworking Americans have to fight that battle just to be able to get out of bed.
And I can tell you, I've been one of them. I fought the battle daily.
And for the most part, I lost. But that's until I found Relief Factor.
Actually, I didn't find it. My wife found it.
She's smarter than I am. And I don't know.
She's just less stubborn. She's more open to new ideas.
unlike a lot of products out there relief factor is not about masking your pain it's about

eliminating it at the source, which is almost always inflammation. Relief Factor helped me in the battle against pain and get my life back.
And it was a miracle for me. It really honestly was.
It doesn't work for everybody, but about 70% of the people that order it and try it, they go on to order it again and again, month after month. As somebody who has lived through pain and probably not as bad as what's happening in your life, but join me.
Will you feel better? If it doesn't work, yes, you're out 20 bucks, but if it does, you get your life back. Try Relief Factor.
Get their three-week quick start for only $19.95. That's less than a dollar a day.

All right, we have some really good news on ESG.

Really good news. Is it over in America? We're close.
Right after the show today, I'm flying out to Florida. I'm going to be in Naples, Florida tonight.
I'm going to give a keynote speech at the Kids in Country Gala. That is for an amazing legislative leadership group, the FLCA.
And they're just doing incredible things. If you have time tonight and you want to come, I'm bringing a whole bunch of really cool artifacts to tell some stories about education and where we've been, where we're going, why it's so important.

But you can just go to the website, goflca.org, or you can call 239-250-3320 and grab your tickets and I'll see you. Hopefully, I'll see you tonight.
on

on our podcast this week

I have Charlie Kirk

which is, I mean, sorry, Charlie Kirk. Something I'm thinking about for Monday, I'll tell you about that.
I have Kid Rock on our podcast, and there's a lot of things that he said that, I mean, I just love him. A lot of things he said that I think are going to be newsworthy.
It's available now for Blaze TV subscribers. It'll come out tomorrow, wherever you get your podcasts.
Look for it. It's the Kid Rock Glenn Beck podcast.
Listen to what he said on. He's trying to bridge some or build some bridges between polar opposites.
Listen to this. I'm actually going to try to unite this country, and I'm starting at the end of the month taking Bill Maher to the White House for dinner.
This guy has done nothing but talk smack about the president since day one. But he's a comedian, too.
Yeah. And, you know, I can have conversations with him, you know, if you don't get into Trump,

cause I'm like, I fucking love him. Yeah.
It's like, I don't, I'm like,

let's talk about other things. We can find common ground.
He's actually,

you know, more reasonable than a lot of people on the right would think.

Oh, I think especially the last maybe four years or whatever. So I said,

so I said to him, I was doing his podcast and I said,

if I can hook you guys up, this, that, and the other,

and trust me there's a lot more people deserving at that table, you know, for it's a big deal to me to you know bring him there and even have the president be like yeah do it let's do it I go man what would it say to this country let's start at the top where you you know very public figures him television comedian you president of the free world you know we could just break bread have some laughs take a picture be like hey hey you know we don't agree on everything but we got along does that send does that start to send a message to people or they just think i'm an idiot yeah you know does bill marr look soft for going does it trump look weak like i'm like man i think we just got to start somewhere like there and be like look man we just had dinner we had some laughs we have fun like maybe call that family member that you got into it over politics or that person you know and i'm just at the school that you know you don't like to talk to anymore that you used to have a coffee with in the morning maybe just get back with and be like look man it's okay everybody calm down a little bit you know i i uh i think this is good a lot of people don't want to have conversations with people who i mean i i have a hard time talking to people who are diametrically opposed to every principle that I hold dear.

But I don't think that's Bill Maher.

I mean, he's he's I don't I mean, I wouldn't pick him as my favorite dinner companion, but I think he would be interesting because he is honest about some things and sees the world and the left for its disgusting nature sometimes. So, I mean, I think that's a really good idea.
It's been interesting to see if that actually happens. I brought up Charlie Kirk a minute ago because he's been on my mind because I don't know if you saw the podcast where Gavin Newsom invited Charlie Kirk onto his podcast, because look, all this this whole Gavin Newsom podcast thing, this is only him rewriting history.
That's all it is. And it is it's it's quite a remarkable thing.

And we've been listening to it and going through it. And I've got a few corrections for that podcast for Gavin Newsom.
I'm going to share those with you. I don't have time today.
I'm going to share them with you on Monday, and I hope to have Charlie Kirk on as well to talk about that whole experience. You've got to know he's definitely running for president, and he's trying to completely rehab his image another thing i don't know if you saw what is the big huge ship that uh um spacex sent up yesterday blew up i'm sorry didn't blow up no no no they i love i love elon musk they experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly of the rocket as after it lifted off.
I love that. But, you know, nobody obviously nobody was hurt and it's great.
Cost a lot of money. But, you know, that's Elon's thing.
The reason why I bring that up is because I have good news on ESG. And, you know, BlackRock, it was one of the big leaders of this.
And I think they really believe it. But for some reason or another, I think BlackRock is experiencing a rapid, unscheduled disassembly of ESG.
And it's only getting better. Justin Haskins, who is the co-author of my last couple of books about the Great Reset, the World Economic Forum, and ESG, he and my team and many, many others are working with some of our partners like wall builders.
And I got an email from Justin last night with a really great update on ESG, because remember, Europe put ESG in and and now we're supposed to have to, you know. Be part of this ESG cabal and Donald Trump's not going to let it happen, but something really, really is important is is happening.
The-ESG legislation. When we first came out with which one? It was the one after the Great Reset.
And we were talking about ESG and what it was going to mean. And we couldn't get any state to stand up.
Just couldn't do it. And we've been banging our heads against the wall for so long.
And there was always in every state, there was one person who would get it. Well, now there's legislation, anti-ESG legislation in 16 states, Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, and Texas.
All of these bills are designed to, in one form or another, limit banks from discriminating against people using ESG and other non-financial criteria. So in other words, they can't just say, well, you're a risk because you believe in the Constitution, so we're not going to give you any money.
Can't do that anymore. One of the best bills this session is HB 62.
It's in North Carolina. It was introduced by Representative Neil Jackson, who is an awesome lawmaker devoted to stopping ESG.
It's going to stop the financial discrimination against farmers and ranchers, which really important the agricultural industry is one of the biggest victims of discrimination by the financial institutions and if it's passed this bill would put a stop to it remember it's cow farts that are killing all of us of course we know that um but uh the banks and financial institutions are like well you gotta put a i don know, a mayonnaise jar and screw it in the back end of that cow to catch all those cow farts.

Yeah.

Otherwise, we're not going to give you any money.

Great.

Another great bill is SB 949.

That one's happening in Texas, introduced by Senator Tan Parker.

If this bill passes in Texas, it'll become one of the toughest anti-ESG bills in America, protecting you, your family, and your business from the large banks. Last year, it was, I think, Tennessee that passed one of the best anti-ESG laws approved to date, second only to the law passed by Republicans and Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida in 2023.
He was one of the first. And Republicans are not the only ones fighting back against ESG.
Congress finally appears to be ready to take some action. It was U.S.
Senator Kevin Kramer from North Dakota. He introduced the Fair Access to Banking Act back in February.
This legislation, if it goes through, would stop large banks nationwide from using non-financial criteria like ESG to discriminate against customers. This one, just this one, would be the solution that we've been fighting for since we first learned about the great reset in 2020.

So we are close.

Kramer's bill already has 42 Republican co-sponsors in the Senate,

including some of the biggest names in the GOP side, Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, Tim Scott.

And more importantly, some of the more moderate Republican senators have also backed the legislation,

like John Cornyn and Lindsey Graham.

It's a miracle. There's also a similar bill in the House introduced by Andy Barr from Kentucky that has a lot of support.
Everyone that my team is talking to says that if these bills get to Donald Trump's desk, he's going to he's going to sign them. this is the closest we have ever been to striking right to the heart and driving a stake in the heart of ESG.
Now, even if the Fair Access to Banking Act fails, there is a good chance that Donald Trump will use regulatory agencies to stop ESG and banking, but that's not good enough. It's got to go through Congress.
We cannot use the administration and all the tricks that have gotten us to this point. Congress has got to stand up.
And if you damn weasels don't do it this time, I don't know what it's going to take. I really don't.
Do you really think you've got another election in you if you're like, yeah, well, we're going to we're going to cut spending next time. Really? Well, you got to give us the the House and the Senate and the White House before you've got it all.
What are you doing? What are you doing? And by the way, Joe Biden and his administration caused all of the crap that's going on right now. As our economy is getting worse, it's because, and I told you this two years ago, you're not going to feel the full effects of what they've done until the next president comes in.
And they did that intentionally. You know, they needed to get reelected.
So all of the stuff that they really did for the last three or four years, it's all hitting right now. And that's why you're seeing everything fall apart.
And they've got to dismantle that. But it can only really be done by Congress.
Congress has to do this. They've got to.
Anyway, ESG finally on the ropes. And all we need now is a knockout punch.
And that could come from Congress. But thank you for caring about this.
Thank you for calling your state house, your state senate, and the Congress and the senate in D.C. Donald Trump will do it himself, but we've got to dismantle that state.
Otherwise, if he gets out, I mean, if I mean, this could be a very short lived, happy time because everything he's doing right now can all be reversed through another executive order. And America, we have to decide.
We really have to decide.

Which which path? Because we cannot swing so far in each direction every four years, even every eight years. Which direction? Pick one.
I think we just did, but I'm not sure congress gets the point yet

the war for the soul of America is happening every day. We've been at it for a long time now.
We've won a few battles. We've won some really important battles.
We're winning more every day, but we are a long way from total victory. And I say that probably 12 years away from total victory.
Big tech and left leading corporations, they're all in this fight, too, and fighting on the wrong side many of the times. That includes a lot of the big mobile phone companies.
But Patriot Mobile is fighting on our side. It's a Christian owned company.
They have two really important ideas. They said we're going to have the same coverage that you could get from any of these other big phone companies.
They have U.S.-based customer service, and they fight every day for the values that built this nation. Okay, I know that's three, and I said there was two, but okay, so they have three.
What? I'm not a mathematician, for the love of me. It's Patriot Mobile.
They help fund the causes that you actually believe in, not the causes of the radical left's agenda.

America's only Christian conservative company. Do it right now.

972-PATRIOT. Glenn Beck.
welcome to the program uh if you watch blaze tv and you watch this uh this podcast uh every day you can interact with each other and with us as well live Live. Dinky has been commenting.
If we could just get Hollywood out of Georgia, maybe Stacey Abrams would move to California where she belongs. David said, wow, two billion dollars to Stacey Abrams.
That would buy a lot of Ozempic. Dale said, Glenn, please never speak about anything that shoots out of Stacey Abrams, but ever, please.
Nanette said, BlackRock bought the Panama Canal. How is that any better than China? I got news for you.
I'm not sure. Well, I.
Well, they're not communist. They're just more totalitarian in nature.
Maybe that's better.

I'm not communist. They're just more totalitarian in nature.
Maybe that's better. I'm not sure.
I noticed that in the president's speech. He said an American company.
We got it away from China. American company just bought the ports and they're buying a lot of other land around Panama Canal.
And I looked that up when he said that. I'm like, like oh that's why he said american company uh it's black rock um also i want to i want to play something here uh from uh kid rock on being socially liberal listen to this well until that transgender stuff came up right i was like these people are just nuts so you didn't i was like if i got gay people in my band everyone's got gay family members, something like this.
I don't know what to make of it still, but I don't care. Yeah.
I really don't care what anybody does. Right.
I don't want to shove it down our throats. I don't want to teach my grandchildren this.
Like, teach them how to write and do arithmetic and stuff, you know, be socially, you know, conscious and, you know, to a certain degree and, you know, want a better world and treat people right. And then it got too far.
I'm like, come on, man. It's just, you know, to a certain degree and, you know, want a better world and treat people right.
And then it's just, and then it got too far. I'm like, come on, man.
It's just, you know, so I'm still socially liberal, I would say. I'm like live and let live to a certain extent.
But then it just got too nuts. Yeah.
I mean, you tell me that's not a freaking mental illness. I'm like, you know, all these different things that happen with these shooters and this, that, and the other.
There's too many nutty people out there to begin with. Like, you know, Ted Nugent said, and I agree with him, he said that at that dinner, actually, at the White House, he's like, we're talking politics a little bit.
And I'm like, I just shut up and eat. Like, I don't, I'm not really, you know, self-educated in this where I need to be spouting out stuff right now.
You know, what should I do about North Korea? I'm like, but Ted said, he goes, we started talking about, he goes, sir, I need to bring the nut houses back. He goes, remember they got rid of all the nut houses and those people got nowhere to go now.
And now they're just running around the streets. Or in Congress.
Or Congress. True.
This is Glenn Beck. Let me talk to you about Tecovis.
It's Friday, Friday night. The wide open plains in the American heartland.
The sun will dip low tonight. The twilight splashing the sky in reds and oranges as a lone cowboy steadily rises and rides across the horizon.
Hey, that kind of a movie scene, you know, it's a heartbeat, but it is a moment of America, and you don't have to fact, let me show you, you don't have to be you know, I'm going to Florida today, and I'm wearing my Tagovas. I'm wearing my boots because they're really, really comfortable.
They're great. They look great.
They take 200 steps to complete. 200 steps.
Right out of the box. You know, they feel like something that's been worn in already.
You know, whether it's a long day, a big night, your Tocovis boots are built to last, to impress. And they are built for men and women who still believe in the American code.
Hard work, standing tall, keeping your word. From the ranches of Texas to the fields of Nebraska and tonight in Florida.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
You know, everybody can tell you what happened yesterday. Very few people can tell you what's coming tomorrow.
And occasionally I've had that ability. And I've been telling you about AI for about 30 years and been warning and warning and warning.
I can't believe I'm at this day today because today is the day that I'm actually going to take the next step and tell you what's coming next. We're going to do that.
And I'm going to play some because, Kid Rock and I in the podcast, we talked a little bit about AI.

And I think it's important for you to hear that exchange.

We'll go there in 60 seconds.

Stand by.

One minute, you're sitting at the breakfast table just enjoying a few minutes apiece before the day starts.

The next minute, you start getting notifications.

Next thing you know, your bank accounts drain, your credit is toast, and some faceless crook is living large on your dime.

What the hell just happened?

Thank you. getting notifications next thing you know your bank accounts drain your credit is toast and uh some faceless crook is living large on your dime what the hell just said that's identity theft that's what it looks like and that's what's happening every single day in this country well it's not going to happen to me okay it's only going to get worse it's important for you to understand cyber crime and how identity theft affects your everyday life.

All right. So I have a podcast with Chris Rock this week, and we talk about everything.
And I asked him about what's coming with AI. And he's really, he's very good at understanding AI.
And he has a really different look. And I think a very healthy look at AI.
Let me play that cut for you here real quick i figured i actually met with a young man that um and had some other prominent musicians and record heads to have an off-the-record conversation about ai and music and the app's called suno and it's bananas because it's pretty dang good and uh for writing music for it produces music see what spotify is doing is a lot of their you know they have to pay money every time they play one of our songs they're creating tons of you put on a that sounds like a beach a beach playlist that has a hundred songs 20 of those songs might be by some artists you never heard of because ai created it they don't gotta pay anybody wow but are they using our stuff to make it yeah but the way I looked at it is I looked at Napster when that started.

And I was like, what's going on? And all the artists were up in arms, and the record companies wanted us to get behind. They're stealing, they're pirating music.
And I'm like, hold on. Are they stealing from the record companies? Like, stealing from everybody.
I'm like, huh, good. I care less.
I make all my money live. But now with AI, I'm like, so I'm asking this guy,

and I'm like, so I can give you some acapellas of my vocals and you can model my voice and then you can put it on your system. And however many people want to write songs for me with my voice can write them.
He's like, yep. I'm like, so I could have like a hundred thousand people writing.
Now there's going to be some funny ones in there, like, you know, Kid Rock, Joeiden like i get it i'll laugh at those but so i get let's say i got a million people writing songs for me if one of those person nails it and they come up with this you know with this life-changing song it's great i go play it live yeah i'm like i don't i'm not seeing the evil in here yet you know which the record companies and managers get all the artists up in about, we're not going to stop it. I know that much.
You are not going to stop it. No.
So it's like, let's figure out how we use it as a new tool the best, like anything else in life. That is the most important and astute statement I have heard.
You're not going to stop it. So let's figure out how to use it.

I'm so excited to take this next step with you because I've waited 30 years. I've been trying to ring the bell on AI, and we've missed so many opportunities, but this is kind of the last call of being ahead of things right now.
We are right at the edge of something just absolutely game-changing. And I've been trying to prepare you for this moment.
And if you're not prepared, you don't really understand. That's okay.
That's okay. I'm going to show you this hour how you, in your life, should be viewing this and using it.
Okay? Okay. Artificial intelligence, AI, it is not Siri.
That's not it. We are on the verge of AGI, artificial general intelligence, and beyond that is artificial super intelligence.
That's the big ball of wax. And you've heard me talk for 30 years now about how AI is a tool that will think faster than you process more data than you could in a lifetime.
And soon with a S.I., it will outsmart every human mind that has ever lived combined. It will be the processing power of a of a supercomputer that would literally be the size of planet Earth.
OK. A lot of deep think there.
And we've talked about the dangers of it. A machine so powerful it could become a god of our own making.
And people will look at it as a god very soon. It's a force that might strip away what it means to be human if we haven't thought about those things.
I've also told you about the miracles that it could bring in ways that we never even thought. Can you cure cancer? Sure, but why would I? Ready for this one? Why not just change the DNA of humans so cancer doesn't hurt the human body? Oh, OK.
I don't know what even the ethics or ramifications of that are, but that's coming. Solutions that man has wrestled with for centuries.
A world where scarcity could just be gone. Hunger could be gone.
You've you've learned this from me, hopefully, or heard me yapping about it and didn't think it really applied to you. But the moment that I've been pointing to you at and saying, look, it's coming, it's coming, it's no longer on the horizon.
We're here. March 7th, 2025, not just a date.
Hopefully, it's the day that you realize we've been pulled into what is called the event horizon of a technological singularity. What the hell is that? Let me explain.
Try to do it so you really can follow this. Because you're going to hear terms over the next couple of years, you know, kind of like when they started defining new pronouns.
You're like, what the hell was that? And a new one came out every day. We're going to go through that.
But this time, it's really important that you understand these things. So terms that most people don't know, AGI, artificial general intelligence, ASI, super intelligence, the event horizon is a term that's usually used to describe the edge of a black hole okay and a black hole has so much gravity it bends light nothing can escape the black hole right think of yourself in a boat you're you know just on this river and then all of a sudden you start to hear a roar of something and you're like oh gee that sounds like falls, and you start to try to row the other direction,

but the current is so strong now that it just pulls you over, and there's no way to escape it because it's too late. That's what this is.
In this particular usage for AI, what it means is that you're at the point where we can't escape the grip of super intelligence because it is coming. Like the black hole, you're in its grip now, and it is eventually going to pull you into the singularity, the black hole.
Once you cross the threshold, you can't escape it, and the black hole will crush everything you knew about life, physics, everything. Life as you know it, once you cross the event horizon and you're in the singularity, it's called spaghettification.
Everything is just pulled and stretched and everything breaks down. That is the way they're describing now this new technology.
And we're on the edge of it, and we can't turn the boat around. So we as humans have never, ever been here, ever.
I mean, maybe. I mean, there are some people who are like now saying, you know, maybe 10,000 years ago, because we can't figure out how the pyramids were built.
Maybe 10,000 years ago, humans had this technology and they're completely unknown because this technology just destroyed them and wiped them all out. And they left behind the pyramids and the Egyptians were like, yeah, that's a tomb we built overnight.
you know, we don't know. I mean, it could be, may not be, but it could be that.
And this isn't science fiction anymore. You're living in it.
And Grok 3 or ChatGPT or any of these things, that's in your hand right now. And it is important for you to understand it and use it.
This is a system that can analyze data. It can write reports for you.
It can generate ideas. It can predict the outcomes with a precision that will rival the best human experts.
And I'm going to show you how to use this and just start acquainting it, acquainting yourself, whether I don't care what you do. You're retired.
You're a CEO. You're a mom.
Whatever it is, I'll show you how you should start thinking about this and using it here in the next few minutes. But here's the reason why I think it's really important to start here today is because I'm hearing some pushback from my good friends, my coworkers, anybody who has heard my warnings over the years.
They're all like, wait a minute, you said this was bad. Yes, yes, it is.
But it's also tremendously good. It's when we actually get to ASI that everything could go very dark.
And I've spent decades cautioning you about the risk of this technology and how it will be your master if we're not careful. Okay, so then why are you suggesting we would pick this up? I know it sounds contradictory, but it's not.
It is the sharpest tool you will ever hold. It's sharper than any axe or any computer before, anything you've ever experienced.
And the difference is this tool can think. It can adapt.
And if you don't learn to wield it now, before it gets really weird, it's going to wield you and then you're going to be powerless. You must understand this is your tool.
And somebody asked me, I had a meeting yesterday and somebody on the staff said, you know, what are the ethics? And I said, I don't know what the ethics are. Nobody does.
We don't know. Nobody's ever done this.
We have to write the ethics. We have to ask those cells our questions, you know.

And this is the first of the seismic shifts that I told you for the last 30 years would come. 30 years ago, I started warning, there's going to be a time when even the person at the top of their craft, doctors, lawyers, artists, engineers, me, will find themselves out of a job.
All of a sudden, it'll just be over. Okay, then what do you do? It's really important that you understand the only ones that have a chance of really kind of surviving are the ones who have used it, knows exactly what it can do, know its dangers, have worked out the ethics in their own mind, and then have kept so nimble they can adapt to whatever comes.
If you calcify in your thinking, it's over. I don't care how long you've done it.
I don't care if you're the CEO. I don't care if you're in the radio broadcasting hall of fame.
It means nothing tomorrow. That will mean nothing.
So what do we do? The time of that first turn where in 18 or 36 months, we're going to find ourselves going, I don't have my job anymore. What happened? The beginning of that first term is happening right now.
You're at the beginning of a cycle. And the cycle is going to happen every three to five years.
And you're going to need to retrain, retool, and redefine what you do while holding on to your humanity and your ethics. I don't know when the next wave will hit, but in 18 months, this is going to be so undeniably clear to everyone, everyone around you and everyone around you who haven't paid attention, hasn't done the work I'm going to ask you to do beginning today.
They're going to be so lost. They're going to be so absolutely lost because it will be the rage.
People will be misusing it. They'll be destroying themselves.
I mean, it's going to be a mess and everyone is going to be scrambling to catch up. It will be too late at that point because you're either going to be the tool, not the master, or you're going to be the master.
You're either going to be dragged into this black hole unknowingly, and just spaghettification happens to you and your life and your family and your humanity, or you will lead and say, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. This is the point where I hit the ejector button and I'm like, I'm out.
And I don't know where that is, but the choice is yours. But you're going to have to begin to act today.
What worries me most is not the pace of change, but it's what we might lose in the process. Transhumanism, another term.
What does that mean? You ever watch Star Trek? The Borg? That's transhumanism. It's AI merging with humans.
And that is not Star Trek. It's already here with Elon Musk.
He's already doing it with people who can't walk. And it will look great look great.
And it is great for some things, but there's going to come a line and the temptation to upgrade yourself is going to be so unbelievably tempting that most people will go, why wouldn't you do this? I don't know. I have my reasons, but you're going to have to come up with yours.
I mean, I don't think we want to erase the very essence of what makes a human human, and that's our flaws, our soul, our humanity. Ask Grok, if I put an implant in me and I begin to have the internet in my head and I'm going to the internet and the internet is coming into my head and it's telling me things, but they're just kind of like the thinking of my, I can't recognize it.
When do I stop becoming me? When am I AI and not human, not Glenn Beck? And at what point, and it went through, I did this the other night, went through all kinds of arguments, both for and against. And at the end, it said, I don't know.
Nobody knows. Nobody knows.
We'll know it when we get there. these are the things you have to think because the line is coming and maybe

maybe soon do you live with your imperfections or are you to cross over? I know my choice. Your choice may be different, but that's your right.
But today isn't that day. Today, it's all about mastering what is here.
So you can educate yourself so when that day comes, you're going to be ready. And I'm going to pick it up at that point here at just 60 seconds.
Hang on. I'm going to tell you about an American hero.
His name is Stephan Dwyer. He and his family, he died tragically in a Blackhawk helicopter crash over the Mediterranean Sea.
And for his service, he was awarded a bronze medal, the bronze star. And he also got the meritorious service medal, the air medal with combat device, among others.
I mean, he's an amazing guy. And he left behind his wife, Allie, and their three sons.
Now, Allie says that he's always going to be the love of her life. And the boys think of him as a superhero, and they're proud to call him dad.
But they had some real problems. I mean, how do you pick up your life? But thanks to you, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was able to gift Allie and her children a mortgage-free home, helping them to have the security and the hope during a time of mourning and beyond.
This is what this foundation does, Tunnel to Towers. They also build specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured heroes from military to first responders.

They're working to eliminate homelessness among our nation's veterans, which is just an abomination.

And all of this in honor of the heroes who sacrificed their lives beginning on 9-11.

So could you donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org?

That's T, the number two, Torg 10 seconds station id i'm really excited to take you through um here in just a few minutes uh on what what you can do today because it's going to change.

It's going to rock your world.

It's going to rock your world.

But I want to take a second just to say and be very, very clear on one thing.

AI, Grok 3 or anything like it, is not your friend.

It's not a companion.

It's not something you confide in.

It's not a partner to trust.

It's a tool.

It's a very companion. It's not something you confide in.
It's not a partner to trust. It's a tool.
It's a very, very sophisticated shovel. It's an extraordinary shovel, but it's a shovel.
You use it. You wouldn't let a hammer decide how to build your house, and you can't let AI decide how you run your life.
The moment you forget that it is a tool, you've lost control, and people are going to lose themselves in this quickly. Now, I don't know about you, but I've seen what happens when we surrender to technology without even thinking.
Social media, well, that was a nightmare, turned us into data points, Everything. Smartphones rewired our attention spans, rewired our thinking of our children.
And this is even bigger. This is a system that can outthink you if you let it.
But here's the flip side. You need this tool to be able to continue to stand in the next three years.
And you can't afford to ignore it i don't care what you do you're going to be a better farmer if you knew if you know that it's a tool and you know how to use it um you know people thought they could avoid the digital age there were cpas i'm not going to use a calculator i'm not going to use a computer for a spreadsheet uh okay dude but i don't think i'm going to have you as my accountant i don't want people to just dump numbers into a machine and then we're like yeah that's the truth you know have somebody there that can check and verify but you've got to be reasonable on this uh and uh and understand it's not an option now it's the baseline. This is Glenn Beck.
Close your eyes for a second. Imagine a sound.
It's tiny. It's rapid.
That's the baby's heartbeat. That's the sound of hope.
That's the sound of life. That's human.
The ministry of pre-born knows that sound can change everything. When a woman considers an abortion, she hears it on an ultrasound, she's twice as likely to end up choosing life.
Then what's the next obstacle? I don't have the ability. I don't have any support in my family.
I can't afford the baby clothes or the food or whatever it is. Saving lives is the reason that we're in this game.
Every child is not a clump of cells. It's precious life, and it deserves a chance at life.
Right now, you can save babies in a huge, huge way with Preborn. Preborncom slash Beck.

Next.

if you want to prepare yourself and make sure that you are in the driver's seat and you are going to survive the next 18 to 36 months of business or life, honestly, you know how the Trump administration has just sped things up so much you can barely keep ahead of it?

You just you're like, wait, wait, I need an update on that.

That is partly because of Elon Musk and Grok, partly because Donald Trump is overwhelming the system intentionally. Just move, move, move, move.

And partly because he's only got four years or, you know, really a year, a year, maybe less than that to make these changes and have them affect, you know, our country in a meaningful way.

Thank you. four years or, you know, really a year, a year, maybe less than that to make these changes and have them affect, you know, our country in a meaningful way.
That's what life is going to be like here very, very soon. And I've been urging you to understand AI, but now I've been talking to so many people that are saying, have you tried unhinged on Grok? Yeah,

don't, don't do that. Don't, don't, don't do that.
It might be fun, but don't do that. Did you, did you see the app where you can go on Grok 3 and it'll talk dirty to you? Definitely don't do that.
Okay. You have to have some ethics with this and don't get sucked into the sexy things.
Don't. So how do you begin? I urge you to try this this weekend.
You are going to have a blast this weekend. Keep the guardrails, but have a blast this weekend.
You don't need to be a tech genius to do this. I can't figure out my remote control.
I swear to God. something happens and my television says, you know, Wi-Fi network is down.
I just look at it, turn the TV off, turn it back on. If it still says that, I'm like, well, maybe it will come back, you know, sometime.
And then I walk away. My teenagers have left the house, so I have no idea.
That's because, I mean, try, if you've always used Apple, try to use Microsoft. You've always used Microsoft, try to use Apple.
It will drive you out of your mind because we calcify. That's not this.
You've never seen this kind of technology before, and it's totally intuitive. No matter how old you are, this is not hard.
What's hard is to keep the car on the right road. Okay.
So you don't have to be a tech genius. All you have to have is curiosity, discipline, and the ability to learn how to prompt it, how to ask it questions.
So this weekend, I want you to start with something like Grok3, okay?

Or any tool like it.

But ask it questions that matter to you that you don't think it could answer, okay? If you're a CEO of a company, ask it to analyze your competitor's strategies based on public data or forecast market trends with the latest numbers and how your company can survive that do it your your mind will be blown i've i've talked to people in every industry and i said hey go in and find the hardest question you have as a ceo and ask it and every time my friends come back and they're like, good God, it knows everything. If you're an artist, have it critique your work.
It's amazing what it will say. Have it generate ideas for your next project.
And I'm not saying you have to do it, but here's what I mean on this. because a lot of creative people are like, I'm not going to do that.
No, no, no. Use it this way.
You will never, ever have writer's block again. You know how sometimes they just say, just start writing.
Okay. Just grok, give me a starting point.
And believe me, it will give you a starting point. And you may look at that and go, I don't want to do any of that.
But I know where to start now. There's no reason to have writer's block or I just, I'm not creative.
I can't. Okay? In any field.
So let's begin at the prompting. And let it prompt.
You prompt it. then let it show you something, and then you do you, boo.
I mean, that's just the way it is. If you're a stay-at-home mom, my wife asked me a couple of nights ago, how is this going to affect me? Okay, a couple of ways.
Just, if you're in charge of the budget, just have it optimize your budget. see what it comes back with ask it to plan a month of meals and then give you the shopping list based on what we think maha would approve you know how hard that is just to go look at all the ingredients this is what i want to make and i And I've always used, you know, stuff that's, you know, they're saying now is bad for me.
You could say it just like that. And I really kind of want to be part of this Maha thing, but I don't know what.
Could you make meatloaf that would be Maha friendly? What ingredients? It will do it. That just that would You'll have the recipe and exactly what to make it with in about 10 seconds.
You would say, I need a week worth of meals. We like these kinds of things.
I only have this amount of time to prepare every day. I want it to be healthy.
I want it to be like, ma ha. Can you give me, you know, a breakfast and dinner or just dinner every day for the next week? It'll generate that.
And then you go, I don't like that one. Try something else.
Try it with chicken. What are you going to do with chicken? And then you narrow it down and then say, produce the grocery list.
and then you can say which which, which bot could I get? And how do I do this? I want just to put that out online and have it delivered on my schedule. And it will, it's, it's crazy.
You ever been educating your kids? You're sitting down, they have homework and you're like, you're pissed because you're like, I did this once already. Now I've got homework too.
and you're sitting there and you're sitting down they have homework and you're like you're pissed because you're like i did this

once already now i've got homework too and you're sitting there and you're like i have no idea i have no idea what they're even talking about because i forgot all of that crap or math used to be a lot different you can take anything that your kids are struggling with and say, go into the other room.

Grok, my kid's learning this.

Here's the problem they're working on.

Can you explain this to me like you're talking to a seven-year-old?

And it will.

And then you go in and go, you know what, son?

Let dad explain this to you.

And I mean, you're going to look like a genius.

And it will do it.

Research the best educational tools for your kids. You ever wondered what to say if your kid would come home and say, I think I'm born in the wrong body.
Now, I know what jumps to mind. but then the second thing that jumps to mind is don't say that because every expert says they'll kill themselves.
Okay, so then you're like, well, I don't know what to do. Do this this weekend.
Even if you don't have kids, do this this weekend. Say, if my kid comes home and says they're born in the wrong body can you give me the strongest uh unbiased opinions on both sides and can you give me the argument both ways unbiased strongest no straw man arguments that would show that my kid might kill themselves.
Can you produce credible data

that shows that that

is not something they just made up, but it's

that they might actually kill themselves

because here's what the data shows.

It will show it all. All of it.

Okay?

Run all of the data. Get all the data.

Then say, show me the footnotes.

Then read it. Ask for it to debate both sides of that.
Read that. Ask your strongest questions.
Ask it for the best arguments from the smartest and strongest advocates on both sides. It's going to give it to you without bias if you ask without bias.
And then just keep asking questions. But here's a really important thing.
That shouldn't make up your mind for you. Don't ever use this and say, you know, what do I say? Because it'll give it to you.
And it may not be the right thing to do. You have to ask it for deep information and research and footnotes so you know it's not just making it up.
The problem with AI is it cannot memorize every data point on the entire, all of man's knowledge, it cannot memorize it all. It can search it and it's really good at remembering the beginning of something and the

end of something. And then it will hallucinate at times because it will say, oh, well, here's the

beginning, here's the end. This is probably what happened.
So you have to say, show me the work,

show me the footnotes, show me the sources so you can go back and look it up yourself to make sure.

This is why if you don't do these things, and these are the things a lot of your friends and a lot of your coworkers and everybody else, these are the things they're never going to do. They're going to see AI and they're going to be like, I can write my report.
Instead of taking all weekend, I can write it in five minutes and I'm off to the golf course and I don't have to work. I'm going to work.
Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to do all my work.
I'm going to have AI do it for me. I'm just going to kick back and collect money.
Worst thing you can do. It's a tool to help you have the best information possible.
Think of this as having a team of 20 people and you're the boss. Okay.
Ask it. Ask it.

What's the most efficient way to streamline my workday? What am I missing at work that would change everything for me? How can I improve my skills in, insert whatever field or question you want. What's the future look like for my job? If I want my job to continue in three to five years and you just showed me my future isn't real bright, what do I do right now that would help improve my chances of my job remaining? I like this one.
I know somebody who says you have to learn something new every single day. And that's kind of, I mean, that's hard.
It's hard. You get home and by the end of the day, you're like, geez, I got to go learn something.
Before I go to bed, I got to learn something new. And, you know, I don't do it.
I don't do it. I mean, I do it, but it's not real intentional.
Go on Grok 3 this weekend and say, I want to learn something new every day. I want to learn something and grow in knowledge and wisdom and ethics on this subject.
Can you create an unbiased curriculum that gives me the truth with the sources, both sides if it needs to be, and present a five-minute lesson to me every day. Uh-huh.
And you'll have a month of them in about 10 seconds. And it will blow your mind.
Now, you can just let that sit there or you can actually apply it and then you become stronger. Again, this is just the start of these things.
We're going to see coming very, very soon systems that will integrate with your life seamlessly. It'll predict all your needs before you even voice them.
It'll automate all the tasks that you didn't even realize were draining you, but the power comes from you. Really important, the power comes from you.
It takes the drudgery and the grunt work out of hours of research or data crunching or repetitive tasks, and it leaves you then free to create, to think, and to lead. That's you, if you use it right.
And it will change everything for the better for a while. You'll have more time, more insight, more control over your path.
But the minute you go off that trail, you're going to find yourself in trouble. You're going to be a small business that can compete with corporations.
You can be a student that will rival a professor. Later, we'll see the downsides, the jobs vanishing, the dependents growing, maybe much, much worse.
I've warned you about that stuff for years. It's not a smartphone.
It's not social media. We stumbled blindly into that.
And you can be an early adopter this time, which I really really really urge you to do because you will help define the ethics and the boundaries of this if you don't it'll all go to have you seen

unhinged and it can talk sexy to me and we're screwed if you let others i mean we've seen the

experts from the government and science oh yeah their advice, their advice always works out. I mean, what mistake has happened by letting us, by having us just go, whoa, scientists in the best minds in the world say this.
Anyway, it's here. And we're at the crossroads.
Use AI to amplify your mind, not replace it. Lead with it.
Don't follow. In 18 months, the world is going to see what you will grasp today.
Act now or you're going to be playing catch up and you will not catch up. when transhumanism and that line comes, you're going to know where you stand.
Human, flawed, perfect as you are,

or I'm going to join the Borg.

I hope we're all going to be strong enough to say, no Borg for me. But we're not there yet.
Learn how to master it and begin this weekend. So do you ever have that feeling when you're around your dog where you wish you could turn back time and go back to the puppy days? I have been so soupy all this week when I start talking about things like Uno and my dog because he's getting so old.
And I wish I could turn back the clock. But you can affect how you can go forward.
You can't go back. Part of giving your dog a little bit of that old spark pack is making sure he's eating healthy, nutrition-packed food.
Maha for dogs, I guess. With Uno, that has meant introducing rough greens into his life.
It's not a dog food. It's a supplement.
And you just sprinkle some of this onto your dog's food every day. And it's jam-packed with all the nutrients, all the things that are alive that your dog needs that's been baked out of your food.
