Speaker 2 Rules and restrictions apply.
Speaker 3 On On today's podcast, should Joe Biden's executive orders that he signed with an auto pen be ruled null and void? Who actually shoved those orders in to the machine? Did he even know about it?
Speaker 3
It's a crazy, crazy story. Also, Doge has exposed all the money that Stacey Abrams was given and then some.
It's probably in a fold of her fat somewhere. We're not sure.
Speaker 3
But we'll tell you all you need to know about that. And then explaining AI and what is coming.
I've turned the page and I'm giving you a challenge of what you should do with AI over the weekend.
Speaker 3 You don't want to miss a second. The whole podcast is available, but this is the best of today's podcast.
Speaker 3
All right, it's two o'clock in the morning. Your little girl's cough has turned into something worse.
She's now got a fever that's spiking. Her breathing is ragged.
Speaker 3
And you're either someplace you don't know or a small town. The pharmacy is dark.
The nearest ER is at least an hour away. You feel that pit in your stomach.
You are helpless.
Speaker 3 Then you remember the Jace medical kit that you have.
Speaker 3 You grab it from the shelf, pull out the antibiotics, you follow the instructions, and by morning, she's resting easy and you can get her in to the doctor.
Speaker 3 You're the dad that didn't flinch.
Speaker 3
That's what Jace Medical does. It turns panic into power.
Be ready for the moment that matters.

Speaker 3
You're listening to the best of the Blend Blandbeck program. All right.
So, uh,
Speaker 3
some 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.
Speaker 3 I don't think we're actually going to be able to get that,
Speaker 3 but we should. We should because of the auto pin.
Speaker 3 Now,
Speaker 3 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, is like, look, guys, I approve the auto pin.
Speaker 3 But in this case,
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 You signed it last week. Oh,
Speaker 3 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?
Speaker 3 He wasn't the president because he was incompetent.
Speaker 3 Holy cow.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 And I don't know about you, but man, we have got to fix these things.
Speaker 3 I am,
Speaker 3 I've always, I've always hated taxes, but I don't know. It is really getting hard to even think about paying taxes
Speaker 3 when you know your money is just propping up thieves and liars. Wait until we get to the Stacey Abrams update today.
Speaker 3 I mean, honestly,
Speaker 3 With all of these things that are going on, have you had the thought,
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 Really bad.
Speaker 3 So
Speaker 3
how do they get away with it? I mean, look at Biden, just Biden himself. Decades in the Senate.
Oh, I'm public servant. Really? Then he was vice president.
Speaker 3 And somehow or another, this guy who was just Lunchbox Joe came out a multiple hundred millionaire. How is that possible?
Speaker 3
His family was raking in the cash. None of them really seemed 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
Speaker 3 was a sewer of influence peddling. foreign deals, and God only knows, well, God probably doesn't know, but Satan absolutely knows what else.
Speaker 3 He didn't get rich on a public servant's salary.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 And he strapped my kids, your kids, to a debt they're never going to climb out from under, $34 trillion
Speaker 3 and counting. And that money was borrowed from China or enemies who would love to see us crumble.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3
And if they didn't borrow the money, they just printed it. Oh, we'll never do that.
Well, you did. You printed it.
Speaker 3 They flooded our system with all kinds of funny money until your groceries have doubled in price. Your rent has spiked.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 That's not inflation.
Speaker 3 In this case, it's theft.
Speaker 3
And we've got to stop pretending it's anything else. It's theft.
Wait until I get to the latest on the graft and what they're finding.
Speaker 3 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, hey, none of that applied because of the auto pen.
Speaker 3 If this story actually holds,
Speaker 3 that says someone else was running the show.
Speaker 3 Who?
Speaker 3 Who?
Speaker 3
Does anybody care about that? It's like, ah, he wasn't the president. He wasn't competent.
He wasn't even competent to stand trial.
Speaker 3 But we don't want to know who was running the country?
Speaker 3 Wow.
Speaker 3
Some faceless puppet master behind the scenes running everything through auto pin. Maybe it was a group of people, I don't know.
And then we were all told, yeah, clap!
Speaker 3 The emperor has no clothes, but isn't it beautiful?
Speaker 3 No.
Speaker 3 Every law.
Speaker 3 Every rule, every promise we've ever made as a nation, gone.
Speaker 3 If this is true, gone.
Speaker 3 Because the Constitution makes this one really clear.
Speaker 3 We vote for a president, not a machine, and not a cabal.
Speaker 3 May I?
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3
No auto pins. Nobody just, hey, just feed this one in.
He'll never know.
Speaker 3 If this is real, every action Biden or whoever was behind him, everything they did
Speaker 3 is legal fiction.
Speaker 3 I've been saying recently, you know, we always thought, because I grew up on Gilligan's Island, well, not on Gilly Island, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 We always thought quicksand was going to be a big, when I was a kid, quicksand, it's going to, you're going to deal with quicksand.
Speaker 3 So make sure you don't go in and, you know, you got to find a vine or a stick, but don't go in yourself because then you'll be in the quicksand.
Speaker 3 I always thought we had to, this is a house of cards built on quicksand.
Speaker 3 And yet we all know that,
Speaker 3 and we all seem to be a little quiet while we're all footing the bill for it.
Speaker 3 Hmm.
Speaker 3 $2 billion for Stacey Abrams machine.
Speaker 3 $7 billion
Speaker 3 to what appears to be a completely fake charity.
Speaker 3 I don't know. I kind of have a problem with that.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 That's not corruption. Dude, that's a middle finger to every hardworking American who ever believed in this place.
Speaker 3 Man, these smug overlords, did you see?
Speaker 3 Did you see when
Speaker 3 they voted to
Speaker 3 chastise?
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 They've turned our kids into guinea pigs.
Speaker 3
Our kids are graduating. They don't know how to read.
Ah, what? Read?
Speaker 3 Who needs that? They've convinced them they're all born in the wrong body.
Speaker 3
They pumped them 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?
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 Every time we pay for 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.
Speaker 3 We're paying for it every single day. Not them,
Speaker 3 we are.
Speaker 3 Your tax dollars, your sweat, your hope, your kids' future, all siphoned up to what?
Speaker 3 Pay for some
Speaker 3 people that despise us,
Speaker 3 who have plans to destroy everything that we believe in? Ah, that doesn't sound right.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 This is kind of what I warned about when I said, hey, social justice isn't a thing. We should focus on
Speaker 3 justice, justice.
Speaker 3 Those who pulled this off,
Speaker 3 whether it's the auto pin scandal or the billions that I'm going to tell you about here in a few minutes that have been funneled to their buddies,
Speaker 3 have you noticed nobody's naming them? Have you noticed there's no real look into, hey, who is running the auto pin?
Speaker 3 Who was covering up in the White House? Who in the cabinet that never had a cabinet meeting with the president?
Speaker 3 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
Speaker 3 even worth a question?
Speaker 3 You know, here's what's most frustrating about all this crap.
Speaker 3 Even though I believe in
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 I still fear the DOJ is not going to do anything.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 But they're not going to pay it.
Speaker 3 I mean,
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3
I believe that. And I'm fine.
You know, in some cases, I'm absolutely fine. You know,
Speaker 3
they were murdering people and they seem to get away with it. Oh, well, I guess I won't be seeing them in the afterlife.
I'm cool. I'm totally cool with that.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 Because we are not just broke. If we allow this to continue, we're broken.
Speaker 3
And all of us should be really furious. All of us.
And not some chess. You know, I love USA, USA.
I hate that.
Speaker 3 Not some flag-waving fury, but I don't know, a more refined, quiet seething of outrage that comes from watching something that we all think is sacred just getting trampled and us being told,
Speaker 3 sit down, you jingoistic
Speaker 3 heathen. But I mean,
Speaker 3 do you even speak the same language?
Speaker 3 I can just tell you smell.
Speaker 3 And this isn't about party lines.
Speaker 3 I mean, this is, I mean, I don't even know. The supremacy of the Constitution?
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 3 But even that's a little highfalutin here.
Speaker 3 I mean, I know they didn't write those words or founders so some grifter could cash out and leave us holding the bag.
Speaker 3
That would be a problem, especially with something 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.
Speaker 3 It's broken, been broken a long time, not just by Biden, but whoever
Speaker 3 was steering the ship in those last four years and a lot of presidents before them.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 You know, I'm disgusted by the greed and the arrogance and the sheer evil of it. It is a little overwhelming at times, but I'm also really kind of disgusted with me.
Speaker 3 You know?
Speaker 3 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?
Speaker 3 Let me talk about pain for a minute. Maybe it's the stiff back after a long day, the creaky knees from years of hard work, or the ache that just won't quit after a good workout.
Speaker 3
If you're one of the people that suffer from pain, it's frustrating, I know. But here's the good news.
There's something that can help.
Speaker 3
And I know because when I was going through terrible pain of my own on a daily basis, it helped me. In fact, it was the only thing that helped me.
It's called Relief Factor. And I take it every day.
Speaker 3 Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's quick start kit, just like I did. 70% of them are just like me, and they'll go on to order it month after month.
Speaker 3 If you're somebody who's living with pain in your life, wouldn't you like to join the rest of us and feel better? If it doesn't work, you're only out 20 bucks, but if it does, you get your life back.
Speaker 3
It's time for you to feel like yourself again. Try Relief Factor.
Get their three-week quick start for only $19.95. That's less than a dollar a day.
Call 800-4REEF 800, the number four relief.
Speaker 3 Now, back to the podcast.
Speaker 3 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 3 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,
Speaker 3 he's very good at understanding AI, and he has a really different look,
Speaker 3 and I think a very healthy look at AI. Let me play that cut for you here real quick.
Speaker 2 I figured I actually met with a young man and had some other prominent musicians and record heads to have an off-the-record conversation about AI and music.
Speaker 2 And the app's called Suno, and it's bananas because it's pretty dang good.
Speaker 2
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
Speaker 2
beach, a beach playlist that has 100 songs. 20 of those songs might be by some artists you never heard of because AI created it.
They don't got to pay anybody. Wow.
Speaker 2 But are they using our stuff to make a yeah? But the way I looked at it is I looked at like Napster when that started.
Speaker 2 And I was like, what's going on? And, you know, all the artists were up in arms and the record companies wanted us to get behind. You know, they're stealing, they're pirating music.
Speaker 2
And I'm like, hold on. Are they stealing from the record companies? He's like, stealing from everybody.
I'm like,
Speaker 2 good.
Speaker 2
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.
Speaker 2 a cappellas and 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.
Speaker 2
I'm like, that's kind of cool. So I could could have like 100,000 people writing.
Now, there's going to be some funny ones in there, like, you know, Kid Rock, Joe Biden. Like,
Speaker 2
I get it. I'll laugh at those.
But 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,
Speaker 2 I go play it live.
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 2 I'm like, I don't, I'm not seeing the evil in here yet. You know,
Speaker 2 the record companies and managers get all the artists up in arms about, we're not going to stop it. I know that much.
Speaker 2 You are not going to stop it. No.
Speaker 2 So it's like, let's figure out how we use it as a new tool the best, like anything else in life.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 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
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 I'm going to show you this hour how you in your life should be viewing this and using it. Okay.
Speaker 3 Artificial intelligence, AI, it is not Siri.
Speaker 3 That's not it. We are on the verge of AGI, artificial general intelligence, and beyond that is artificial superintelligence.
Speaker 3 That's, you know, 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.
Speaker 3 And soon with ASI, it will outsmart every human mind that has ever lived combined.
Speaker 3 It will be the processing power of
Speaker 3 a supercomputer that would literally be the size of planet Earth. Okay?
Speaker 3 Lot of deep think there.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 Can you cure cancer? Sure, but why would I? Ready for this one? Why not just
Speaker 3 change the DNA of humans so it doesn't
Speaker 3 cancer doesn't hurt the human body?
Speaker 3 Okay.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 A world world where scarcity could just be gone, hunger could be gone.
Speaker 3 You've learned this from me, hopefully, or heard me yapping about it and didn't think it really applied to you, but
Speaker 3 this,
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3
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?
Speaker 3 Let me explain.
Speaker 3 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, and you're like, what the hell was that?
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 So, terms that most people don't know: AGI, artificial general intelligence, ASI, intelligence. The event horizon is a term that's usually used to describe the edge of a black hole, okay?
Speaker 3 And a black hole has so much gravity, it bends light. Nothing can escape the black hole, right?
Speaker 3 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 the falls.
Speaker 3 And you start to try to row the other direction, but the current is so strong now that it just pulls you you over and there's no way to escape it because it's too late. That's what this is.
Speaker 3 In this particular usage for AI, what it means is that you're at the point where we can't escape
Speaker 3 the grip of super intelligence because it is coming.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 Everything is just pulled and stretched, and everything breaks down.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 So
Speaker 3 we
Speaker 3 as humans have never, ever been here, ever.
Speaker 3 I mean,
Speaker 3 maybe.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 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,
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 This is a system that can 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.
Speaker 3 And I'm going to show you how to use this and just start acquainting it, acquainting yourself. I don't care what you do.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 But here's the reason why I think it's really important to start here
Speaker 3 today is because I'm hearing some pushback from my good friends, my coworkers, anybody who's heard my warnings over the years. They're all like, wait a minute, you said this was bad.
Speaker 3
Yes, yes, it is, but it's also tremendously good. It's when we actually get to ASI that everything could go very dark.
Okay.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 Okay, so then why are you suggesting we would pick this up? I know it sounds contradictory, but it's not.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 You must understand this is your tool. And somebody asked me, I had a meeting yesterday and
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 We have to ask those selves our questions, you know?
Speaker 3 And this is the first of the seismic shifts that i told you for the last 30 years would come like 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
Speaker 3 will find themselves out of a job you just you it just all of a sudden it'd just be over
Speaker 3 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,
Speaker 3 knows exactly what it can do, know its dangers, have worked out the ethics in their own mind,
Speaker 3
and then have kept so nimble they can adapt to whatever comes. If you calcify in your thinking, it's over.
Okay. I don't care how long you've done it.
I don't care if you're the CEO.
Speaker 3
I don't care if you're in the radio broadcasting hall of fame. It means nothing.
Tomorrow, that will mean nothing.
Speaker 3 So,
Speaker 3 what do we do?
Speaker 3 The time of that first turn,
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 And this cycle is going to happen every three to five years.
Speaker 3 And you're going to need to retrain, retool, and redefine what you do while holding on to your humanity and your ethics okay 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
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 You're either going to be dragged into this black hole
Speaker 3 unknowingly. and just spaghetti 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.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3
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?
Speaker 3
That's transhumanism. It's AI merging with humans.
And that is not Star Trek. That is, it's already here with Elon Musk.
He's already doing it with people who can't walk, okay?
Speaker 3 And it will look great.
Speaker 3 And it is great for some things, but there's going to come a line. And the temptation to upgrade yourself
Speaker 3 is
Speaker 3 going to be so unbelievably tempting that most people will go, why wouldn't you do this?
Speaker 3 I don't know. I have my reasons, but you're going to have to come up with yours.
Speaker 3 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 Grock,
Speaker 3 when, 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.
Speaker 3 When do I stop becoming me? When am I AI
Speaker 3 and not human, not Glenn Beck? And
Speaker 3 at what point?
Speaker 3 And it went through, I did this the other night, went through all kinds of arguments, both for and against.
Speaker 3
And at the end, it said, I don't know. Nobody knows.
Nobody knows. We'll know it when we get there.
Speaker 3 These are the things you have to think because the line is coming and maybe, maybe soon. Do you live with your imperfections or you do cross over?
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3
So you can educate yourself. So when that day comes, you're going to be ready.
You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck. Need a little more?
Speaker 3
Check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts. All right, so let me tell it, tear this story apart, and let's just start with what happened.
This happened last spring, okay?
Speaker 3 The lame duck presidency.
Speaker 3 Right around the same time when, I don't know if you heard the story that I talked about last hour about the Auto Penn scandal. Apparently, everything that Biden signed was done by Auto Penn, except
Speaker 3 for him saying, I'm not going to run. That's weird, isn't it?
Speaker 3 So right around that same time, April 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.
Speaker 3 Therefore, the climate.
Speaker 3 Now, $7 billion, that's not the real story. This was all part of a $20 billion jackpot.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 It was a scam.
Speaker 3 So it was all about the green thing. They sold us climate salvation,
Speaker 3
but what it really was, was robbery. Okay.
This fund
Speaker 3 wasn't some Titan of green innovation. They're like,
Speaker 3 we've dedicated our whole lives. It popped up in Delaware
Speaker 3 on November 30th, 30th, 2022.
Speaker 3 It was barely five months old when the cash started to flow.
Speaker 3
Its tax filings, a complete disgrace. Its 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.
Then
Speaker 3 $323,000 just vanished in other expenses.
Speaker 3
I mean, it's a black hole. No explanation.
Just,
Speaker 3 I don't need to tell you. The legal fees gobbled up more.
Speaker 3 The vague promises of $50 million in solar projects, that's what they were saying. Well, it's worth $50 million.
Speaker 3 Where was any of that?
Speaker 3
Then the mask slips off. We find out that they were funneling cash to power forward communities.
Oh, God.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3
All right, that thing is tied to Stacey Abrams. Huh.
So a political insider
Speaker 3
gets a bunch of money because she's the teacher's pet. No transparency on that.
No accountability. It's just a shell.
Speaker 3 Stacey Abrams, this power forward communities, if you thought the other one was a sham, she had only raised $100.
Speaker 3 $100.
Speaker 3 Not $100,000. $100.
Speaker 3 You could get that from the guy who's begging on the street.
Speaker 3 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 $100, maybe even a day.
Speaker 3 That's all she could raise for her own organization. And then suddenly, Biden comes in and is like, you know what you need is $2 billion.
Speaker 3 Oh,
Speaker 3 that seems right.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 He said this was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Now, what does that mean?
Speaker 3 What does that mean?
Speaker 3
So all it was was a desperate cash dump before the clock ran out. They're giving it to their friends.
Why?
Speaker 3 Now, under the
Speaker 3 Department of Government Efficiency, Doge,
Speaker 3
they blew the lid off of this thing. The $20 billion 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.
Speaker 3 Theft of your money, your labor, your nation, quite honestly. So now,
Speaker 3 that's what happened.
Speaker 3
Now, here's what it means. And let me give you some historic perspective here.
I want you to feel this in your gut.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 $7 billion
Speaker 3 is $20
Speaker 3 per American, not taxpayer, per American. Family of four.
Speaker 3 When you tally in the full $20 billion, that's $240 that's just gone from your bank account. Actually, not because take $240
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 So that's groceries, gas, your kids' school supplies gone.
Speaker 3 Where did it go?
Speaker 3
Stacey Abrams' big pockets. And she's a big person, so she has big pockets.
Now, even if you have Stacey Abrams-sized pockets, that's not pocket change.
Speaker 3 Historically,
Speaker 3 this
Speaker 3
dwarfs, oh, did he just use the word dwarf? Yes, I did. Dwarfs scandals that we have learned ever since.
I don't even remember what it was, but
Speaker 3 the teapot dome
Speaker 3
scandal. When did it happen, kids? 1920.
Can anybody tell me what it was? No, because you told me just to remember the date when it happened. I know it happened in the 20s.
Speaker 3 I don't know anything else about it. So let me just remind you,
Speaker 3 in adjusted dollars, the
Speaker 3 teapot dome scandal that we are told we must memorize,
Speaker 3 that cost in today's adjusted dollars, 400 million.
Speaker 3 400 million, and we're still teaching about that scandal. This is 20 billion.
Speaker 3 Okay. It kind of makes, I mean, really, you look at the teapot, the dome scandal now, and your kids should be like, rookies.
Speaker 3 Watergate was a break-in.
Speaker 3
Jail time. Prison.
Break-in.
Speaker 3 It wasn't a billion-dollar siphon. No, there was no money stolen.
Speaker 3 Nothing happened in Watergate. Prison time.
Speaker 3 You know the savings and loan scandal?
Speaker 3
George Bush's brother was involved. Yeah, he was.
Yeah, he was. And
Speaker 3 that scandal was $160 billion over 10 years.
Speaker 3 This is 20 billion,
Speaker 3 like,
Speaker 3
in a day. Hey, you know what? Call her up.
Can we get the EPA on the phone? Give him $20 billion.
Speaker 3
Okay, so I don't know. That's kind of fast.
But we have AI now. Should be a little faster.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 So
Speaker 3 remember, you're still working today. Every dollar you're going to make at work today
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 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?
Speaker 3 I don't know.
Speaker 3
I don't know. I worked hard for my money.
What did Stacey Abrams do for hers?
Speaker 3 Okay, so now who's involved and who might be involved? Well, Biden-Harris, because they signed off on this. You know, Kamala Harris said
Speaker 3 this was her legacy, the greenhouse gas reduction fund.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3
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
Speaker 3
eventually, but I don't know. Scooby's kind of old at this point.
Even the Scooby snacks didn't keep him in that van very long, but
Speaker 3 their tax forms are hiding all of the names of the officers, so we don't really know. But Abrams Power Forward?
Speaker 3 That one,
Speaker 3 what does that smell? It smells like rotting garbage. No, uh-uh, that's Stacey Abrams Power Forward.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 The EPA whistleblower, he's a cog, but in their words,
Speaker 3
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?
Speaker 3
A trillion dollars that people donated? And you kind of went, where did that money go? Yeah, it lined the pockets. It's in Stacey Abrams' butt someplace.
I think it is.
Speaker 3 I I don't know that for a fact that that's where she keeps it, but it's kind of a big butt.
Speaker 3
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, congressional enablers.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 They got the scalpel out, and it's kind of sharp.
Speaker 3
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's just a lone one. Uh-uh.
Speaker 3 This is a whole pack, and they have been feeding on the American carcass. They got blood all over their face.
Speaker 3 I think we should go wolf hunting myself.
Speaker 3 Now,
Speaker 3 who could possibly be against
Speaker 3 tracking this down?
Speaker 3
Because not everybody is cheering Doge and Elon Musk. In fact, he's a Nazi.
Did you hear that?
Speaker 3 We don't have Nazis around here. I haven't heard anybody call anybody a Nazi ever.
Speaker 3
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.
Speaker 3 Good God, it's not 1965. Shut up.
Speaker 3
Anyway, they might break out in song. I don't know.
But the climate lobby, these NGOs, the green tech firms, the banks,
Speaker 3 billions of dollars. And they're all going to say, but the planet is in peril.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 Now,
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3
But they're going to, here's what's going to be exposed, the Patrogen network. That's their lifeblood.
That's how they keep. Have you ever wondered?
Speaker 3 Have you ever said this? Because I have. Where the hell are the Republican billionaires?
Speaker 3 Don't it seem like everybody, anybody who wants to destroy the country, they got billions of dollars behind them, right?
Speaker 3 And you're like, you know, the billionaires on the left, they just give all this money. No, No,
Speaker 3 you've been giving all of this money. They've been funneling your money
Speaker 3 to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars to these people that want to destroy America. That's what's been going on.
Speaker 3 And then you have the bureaucrats and the EPA and the government. I mean, the careerists who would rather, you know.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3 Look, $20 billion, A slush fund buys an awful lot of loyalty, influence, votes.
Speaker 3 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.
Speaker 3
And the big banks like Citibank, I think they're quietly squirming. They're not now.
We had nothing to do with it. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 3 That's what the banks of the mob say.
Speaker 3
And don't forget the media. They're not going to be for it.
Okay.
Speaker 3 So
Speaker 3 that's what happened. That's why it matters, how historically huge it is, and who's not for all of this.
