Speaker 2 Let me ask you something, and please, it is for posterity, so be honest.
Speaker 2 Do you actually know what's going inside of your business right now?
Speaker 2 You know, that's from the driving me crazy.
Speaker 1 It was a present for us. That's right.
Speaker 2
I am not asking you for a guess. It got feeling.
I'm talking about numbers. Do you have real hard data on what's going on? What's selling? What's bleeding cash? Which department is slipping?
Speaker 2
Which one is pulling the bacon out of the fire? That is important. If you don't know the answer, you as a business person are flying absolutely blind.
That's why there is NetSuite by Oracle.
Speaker 2 It is the tool to help you fix that, the world's number one cloud ERP.
Speaker 2 And for good reason, NetSuite will take your accounting, your inventory, HR, and operations and put them all on one live interconnected dashboard.

Now let's get to work.
Speaker 2
Down the road where shadows hide, fill the dark on every side. Stand your ground when times get tight.
Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
Speaker 2 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Speaker 2 This is
Speaker 2 the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 2
Welcome to the Glenbeck Program. Hello.
And
Speaker 2 I'm excited, Stu. I don't know about you, but science is exciting right now.
Speaker 2 We have the new
Speaker 2
dire wolf out. Well, not new.
Actually, the one that was snuffed out
Speaker 2 because, you know, it just...
Speaker 2 it probably shouldn't have lived any longer and so it just dies out as a species and now after 10,000 years we mixed one up in a jar and
Speaker 2
sprayed one out. So the new dire wolf is the old dire wolf is back.
Oh I can't wait to see the fun on this. And next snuffalophagus.
Speaker 2 Now here is the here is the
Speaker 2 question. This is a this is a
Speaker 2 This is a company that we've had on before to talk about, you know what,
Speaker 2 what are you guys doing? Have you ever watched Jurassic Park? This is not a good idea.
Speaker 2 There's another story out
Speaker 2 about this, and it just talks about some of the investors in the company. And one of the investors is the CIA.
Speaker 2 Now,
Speaker 2 I don't know about you, but I don't think the CIA should be investing in companies.
Speaker 2 But the real question is,
Speaker 2 why would the CIA be investing in companies?
Speaker 2 Oh, there's some theories.
Speaker 2
It's scarier than the dire wolf and a little scarier than Tyrannosaurus Rex as well. I'll give that to you here in just a second.
Stand by.
Speaker 2 First, have you ever noticed how one day pain just shows up like an uninvited guest and then just never leaves? Like family? You know what I mean? You're like, oh, hi there, knee pain.
Speaker 2
Must have twisted something. Few days go by and you start realizing that pain really is overstayed.
It's welcome. And next thing you know, it's just hanging around all the time.
Speaker 2
It's there when you wake up in the morning, hasn't left you when you go to bed at night. It's time to kick that uninvited guest out, kick him to the curb.
Best way I found to do that is Relief Factor.
Speaker 2 It's not a drug. It was developed by doctors, and it goes right after the real enemy, inflammation in your body.
Speaker 2 It is the root of most of our pain, and when you get rid of that, your body actually has a shot of feeling normal again. You remember, normal, right?
Speaker 2
Relief factor, help me kick my pain out, could help you. 1995, the trial pack, three-week quick start.
Just try it, see if it works for you. It doesn't work for everybody.
Speaker 2
They're upfront and honest about that. 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month, just like me.
800 for relief. 800, the number for relief.
It's relieffactor.com.
Speaker 2 So, Stu,
Speaker 2 how excited are you that the animal made famous by Game of Thrones that went extinct 13,000 years ago is among us now?
Speaker 1 You know, they said Trump was the greatest comeback story, and now we have the dire wolf.
Speaker 2 Yeah. So, do we have any of the video of the dire wolf? Here's the dire wolves, they're little babies.
Speaker 2 Aren't they cute?
Speaker 4 Oh my gosh, I want one.
Speaker 2
Yeah, no, you don't. No, no, no, I want one.
No, no, you really don't. They are.
Oh, my gosh, I want one.
Speaker 2
Oh, they're so cute, aren't they? Yeah, they're a little loud. Forget it.
I'm bringing your pillows in there. You know, you want to get up in the middle of the night and hear, oh, oh,
Speaker 2 no, I, I,
Speaker 2 no. no, uh-uh.
Speaker 2
So they retrieved the DNA from fossils of dire wolves 13,000 years ago. They were over.
Then they discovered additional
Speaker 2 DNA, and they edited 20 genes of gray wolves, and then put the dire wolf in the gray wolf, and we now have...
Speaker 2 The new and improved dire wolf, which
Speaker 2 I'm not sure this is a good idea. You know, when it comes to AI, when it comes to all of the,
Speaker 2 has anyone watched a movie? Has anyone watched a movie? This was all science fiction, dystopia stuff. It's now here.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2 as I'm going perusing this, because remember, the next thing is Woolly Mammoth.
Speaker 2 And we had the CEO on the program, you remember? And I said,
Speaker 2 why are you thinking about bringing the woolly mammoth back? He said, Be good for the environment.
Speaker 2 What?
Speaker 2 Yeah, it'd be good for the environment.
Speaker 2 How is a woolly, do they not fart and do they eat cows?
Speaker 2 How is that?
Speaker 2
He didn't really have a good answer on that, but it'll make a lot of people on the left feel good. Oh, it's good for the environment.
So we'll bring the woolly
Speaker 2 mammoth back. And look at, they're so furry and stuff, they'll make great throw rugs in the end.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2 the next step is to bring back the woolly mammoth. Okay, again,
Speaker 2 you know, if you believe in
Speaker 2 Darwin, you believe in
Speaker 2 survival of the fittest, there's a reason these animals went extinct.
Speaker 2 One of the reasons I think for like these large, dangerous animals is so we could live.
Speaker 2 You know, there was a lot of pool,
Speaker 2
going on. You know what I mean? I just want to make that clear.
Maybe we've forgotten about that, but that's what those animals were doing to humans.
Speaker 2 But we'll put them on a special island
Speaker 2 and that then we'll be fine. So now we have the
Speaker 2 dire wolf, which
Speaker 2 is truly wonderful.
Speaker 2 And as I get into this, I see who some of the investors are.
Speaker 2 And one of the investors that is really excited about just pouring money into the colossal bioscience is the CIA.
Speaker 2 I'm giving you a chance to process that for a second. First of all, CIA, they've got a budget to invest in companies.
Speaker 2 Sounds like a bad idea.
Speaker 1 It shouldn't really be part of what the CIA does.
Speaker 2 Well,
Speaker 1 it's not a hedge fund, right?
Speaker 2 They're not just investing. They have good reason to invest.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2 if you're looking to do what the CIA does,
Speaker 2 this might be a very good
Speaker 2 application for them.
Speaker 2 Here's why gene editing is
Speaker 2 catching the eye of the are you ready?
Speaker 2 It's a dual-use technology. gene editing tools like crisper are inherently dual use meaning they can serve civilian purposes conservation biotech breakthroughs and military intelligence ones
Speaker 2 so okay i'm trying to woolly mammoths woolly mammoths why would you want to bring a woolly mammoth
Speaker 2 Well,
Speaker 2 one of them is they believe that they could CRISPR their way way into
Speaker 2 bioengineering resilient organisms, you know,
Speaker 2 like spy drones that are animals.
Speaker 2 Enhancing human capabilities. Maybe we can mangela our way into gene splicing a little of the dire wolf into all of us so we'll be a little stronger.
Speaker 1 I feel like just on its surface, we shouldn't mangela our way into anything. You don't think so? I think that's always a bad choice.
Speaker 2
I always thought so. It's the wrong one.
Yeah, always. I thought so.
Speaker 1 There's lots of college campuses right now where they're saying the opposite, I've noticed, in protest. But I'm going to go with no on the Mengele into anything.
Speaker 2 Try this one out for size. Another reason why the CIA may be interested in
Speaker 2 the new, hey, let's bring animals back from the dead.
Speaker 2 Ecological and geopolitical leverage.
Speaker 2 De-extinction.
Speaker 2 Great word, huh? New. De-extinction could reshape ecosystems intentionally or not.
Speaker 2 Imagine reintroducing a species to destabilize a rival nation's agriculture or environment.
Speaker 2 Say, flooding a region with engineered pests or
Speaker 2 altering food chains.
Speaker 2 You know,
Speaker 2
I don't think this is a good idea. I don't think this is a good idea.
If you weren't convinced the CIA is out of control,
Speaker 2 you might want to share this with your friends.
Speaker 2
Biosecurity and threat assessment. Reason number three.
If adversaries develop gene editing for hostile purposes, in other words, a weaponized pathogen or super soldiers, the CIA needs to stay ahead.
Speaker 2 Investing in Colossal gives them a front-row seat to cutting-edge biotech, letting them study its limits and vulnerabilities.
Speaker 2 They're not just funding it, they're learning how to defend against it or wield it themselves if necessary. Now, this comes from a story out of China where China is
Speaker 2 re-engineering people,
Speaker 2
trying to make them smarter. I mean, come on, guys.
Chinese are always, they're better at instruments. They're better at math.
They're better at really almost everything.
Speaker 1 This is interesting research, though. It's an interesting approach.
Speaker 1 We almost have to come up with a name for it, like a gain of function research.
Speaker 2 Would that be something that would maybe oh my gosh, what a great idea!
Speaker 1 That always gain of function that that would work perfectly. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 2 okay. Now, uh, reason number four: synthetic biology for covert ops.
Speaker 2
Picture a bioengineered animal, say a dire wolf with tweaked senses used for surveillance or tracking in remote areas where drones might fail. We are screwed.
Uh-huh.
Speaker 1 We are screwed. Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 Number five, future-proofing influence. Biotech
Speaker 2 is poised to explode economically. Think lab-grown meat.
Speaker 2 I don't want to think about lab-grown meat.
Speaker 2
Gene therapies or climate fixes. I don't think we should be doing stuff.
You know, can we really stop? We really should stop. We're creating God in AI.
Speaker 2 We're now thinking, we can bring things back from the dead.
Speaker 2 I believe that was
Speaker 2 those two things were the story of Frankenstein.
Speaker 2
Throw that in there. Okay.
We can bring things back from the dead. You know what we can do?
Speaker 2 We can bioengineer so things could live forever and it'll be smarter and of course it will always stay under our control. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 By backing Colossal, the CIA via IQT gets a stake in a field that could rival big tech in influence.
Speaker 2 If de-extinction tech scales, it might affect food security, land use, or even cultural narratives.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2 there's your update on how the world will end today.
Speaker 2 That's one of the most disturbing things
Speaker 2 I have read in a long time. I mean, you know, I'm just trying to get my arms around
Speaker 2 AI and how we can use AI for a very short period of time before it's turned against us and eats us all. Well, we might,
Speaker 2 the dire wolf might eat us first, but I'm just getting my arms around that.
Speaker 2 I don't think we needed to introduce this one, too.
Speaker 2 And the fact that the CIA is involved.
Speaker 2 Not good.
Speaker 1 Yeah, but we can release a bunch of animals in places where drones won't be effective with their special senses.
Speaker 2 Where on earth? Where on earth would a drone not be effective?
Speaker 1 A tunnel.
Speaker 1 Right.
Speaker 1
Think of the Hamas tunnels. If we could release some dire wolves down there, probably more effective than our drones.
But still, I make it.
Speaker 2 I think we could go over a good idea.
Speaker 2 I think we could go over to really nasty parts of the Czech Republic and get dogs that have just been, you know, they're breeding them to tear people apart and throw them in the tunnels.
Speaker 2 I don't think we need to go back.
Speaker 1 Yeah, but they don't have the special senses. They don't have laser eyes.
Speaker 2 No, you're right. They don't.
Speaker 1 You need to have wolves with laser eyes.
Speaker 2 What could go wrong with those?
Speaker 1 They're probably great pets. The problem with this is like, I feel like the Industrial Revolution gave us a lot of these types of things where you'd say, for example,
Speaker 1 we developed cars. And we could have had the same conversation, you know, Model T's rolling off the assembly line.
Speaker 1 And we're like, hey, you know, people are just going to keep making these things faster and faster and faster. And they're going to get to the point where they're going two, 300 miles an hour.
Speaker 2 And that happened, right?
Speaker 2 It's happened.
Speaker 1
But it doesn't, there wasn't ever a point where they're going so fast that the entire world ends. Right.
Right. Like they're that with AI, with gene splicing, with
Speaker 1 biological warfare,
Speaker 1
nuclear warfare. We keep having these conversations.
Eventually, some bad actor is going to take this to some logical extreme, and we're all screwed.
Speaker 2 What are the chances? There are no bad actors in the world. Can you name
Speaker 2 a a thousand?
Speaker 2 1.2 billion,
Speaker 1 2.4 billion?
Speaker 2 I mean, besides everyone that is, you know, when somebody writes a prescription and gives you advice as a doctor, I don't think they need a pardon so they can never go to jail. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2
You know. When Fauci's just writing a prescription, he's like, look, you should wear a mask.
You should wear a mask and, you know, take this. I, you know, that's doctor's advice.
Speaker 2
I don't think that you need a pardon. What he was doing was so corrupt that he needed a presidential pardon.
I don't know. Those are the kind of doctors that maybe we should put in jail.
Speaker 2 Maybe it's just me.
Speaker 2 I mean,
Speaker 2 how do we get to this place? How do we get out? It's going to be interesting to see how this all works out. It will.
Speaker 2 How do we get out of this place where we just seem hell-bent on our own destruction?
Speaker 1 And I just, you know, with all of these things, I just don't see how
Speaker 1 our response with nuclear weapons and biological weapons was to just try to limit them as much as possible, right?
Speaker 1 To go out and every time we heard, hey, Bob over in Iran might be doing so may have the nuclear weapons, let's go over there and stop them. That's kind of been our approach.
Speaker 1 And it's worked so far, but eventually it's probably won't.
Speaker 1 And with AI, our response is, let's just keep pushing it as fast as possible with a bunch of different really smart companies competing along with governments doing the same thing.
Speaker 2 Well, we did kind of, I mean, that's unfair a little bit. Is it? Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 Let me give me a minute and we'll break and then I'll come back and I'll explain why that's unfair.
Speaker 2
We live in a culture now that lies to women. Full stop.
Career is the most important thing you can do in life.
Speaker 2 You should be nice to the dude in the dress. Let him play sports because he's actually a woman too.
Speaker 2
That thing inside of you, just a clump of cells, doesn't matter. All of this is nonsense.
It's lie and it's evil.
Speaker 2 That's why the Ministry of Pre-Born is fighting back and they're fighting in the best possible way with truth, compassion, and love.
Speaker 2 They offer free ultrasounds to expecting moms, showing them the beautiful human being growing inside of them and working to convince them to choose life.
Speaker 2
Then they help that mom with the necessities for up to two years after she gives birth. They're changing hearts and minds and they need our help to make this happen every day.
Would you join?
Speaker 2
Please join them as they rescue women and babies every single day. One ultrasound is only $28.
$140 helps rescue five babies. I don't think you're going to regret the choice to save a life.

Speaker 2 So you have to remember that we didn't control things until after we used the bomb. Everyone was rushing towards it, and we didn't know.
Speaker 2 I mean, there was, honestly, there were, I don't know, 10% of scientists that said,
Speaker 2 if we do this, it could cause a chain reaction that could set the entire world on fire.
Speaker 1 I remember that from the documentary Oppenheimer. Okay.
Speaker 2
All right. So kind of not really.
Anyway, so
Speaker 2 we had no idea what we were doing. We just knew we had to get there first.
Speaker 2
So afterwards, this is where it becomes fair. Afterwards, we could ban it.
We could control it. It took extraordinary amounts of money to do.
Speaker 2
It took certain equipment that we could just ban. You can't do that.
Okay.
Speaker 2 uh and it was only only nation levels that that could actually create one you know the average person couldn't create you know even if even if you had all the knowledge in the world you couldn't create a nuclear weapon in your basement right you'd need access to certain things that could be banned
Speaker 2 when when it comes to ai that's not true that's not true ai uh you're going to have to ban so much.
Speaker 2
And if somebody is using a nuclear weapon on their own people, you know it. You know what I mean? You'd know it.
If somebody's using AI against their own people, you'll never know it.
Speaker 2 I mean, that's the kind of things that we're, we're dealing with now, where it is so insidious that it can fall into one, the hand of one person.
Speaker 2
And it can design a weapon that they can make themselves that will kill half the people on the planet. And you didn't even see it coming.
You didn't even know. You didn't even know.
Speaker 2 You could have the government ban it, but they're using it on you and you'd never know.
Speaker 2 That's the real problem, I think, with AI
Speaker 2
and the fact that you can no longer put it back in the bottle. It's going to happen.
We're all racing to get there, but there is no way to put this back into the bottle.
Speaker 2 There's no way to control this like there was with nukes. And honestly,
Speaker 2 that's why Silicon Valley went to Trump. You know know this, right?
Speaker 2 They were having a meeting. Remember when Kamala Harris was like, AI,
Speaker 2
it's great. It's a fun two letters.
It's actually two words. Artificial intelligence.
Remember that? Oh, yeah. So insulting.
Speaker 2
That was the meeting that she had with all of the bigwigs in Silicon Valley. And they said at that meeting, don't spend any more money on server farms or anything else.
We're taking care of it.
Speaker 2 This will all be controlled by the United States government because it's too big to let anyone else have it except for the United States government.
Speaker 2 They all walked out and went, We can't let the government have this.
Speaker 2
We're gonna let the government be the only one that has this. That's not good.
That's why they flipped to Trump because they realized this cannot just be in the hands of the government.
Speaker 2 But I'd be the one in the room going, I don't think any of you guys should have this in your hands.
Speaker 2 Nobody should have access.
Speaker 2 What you're building is an anti-god.

Oh, God.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's a monster. A lot less scandals really.
Speaker 2 Yeah, that's what I hear.
Speaker 2 Anyway,
Speaker 2 did you hear about the Dire Wolf? Yes. Yeah.
Speaker 2
Yeah. And the CIA is thinking about...
about now. The CIA part, I didn't know.
You didn't know that. No.
Yeah.
Speaker 5 They're thinking of investing.
Speaker 2
Yeah, they want to invest in it. In the dire wolf program.
No, not the dire wolf program, but in the whole let's bring animals back from the dead. It's weird.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 Why are they thinking dinosaurs could be used against the Soviets? Is that what we're doing? Pretty much.
Speaker 2
They're talking about bringing things and gene splicing things to use them as possible weapons. Wow.
You know,
Speaker 2 China, I mean, look out.
Speaker 2
Well, I mean, really, actually look out. Look up first.
When you see those planes dropping woolly mammoths from the sky, you'll know it was us. You'll know it was us.
Speaker 2
So don't screw with us, China. It's terrifying.
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 We were just talking about how we're doing so many things right now that all of us, it's, you know, I really, the older I get, the more I realize it's not the people. It's really not the people.
Speaker 2 If there were no such thing as politicians, we'd be pretty good.
Speaker 2 I mean, we need them because we need to have some sort of, you know, society and some, somebody holding things together, but they're the ones who are just, we all, I think we could all go into a room,
Speaker 2 you know, a big room with like, I don't know, 300 million people where there's no politicians in there. And we could go, hey, what do you say we start bringing back dinosaurs?
Speaker 2
I think we could get a consensus pretty quickly. Yeah.
No. No.
Yeah. No.
No, thank you. No.
Hey, let's have the CIA invest in that. No.
No. No.
You know what I mean? Right.
Speaker 2
It's the politicians that are screwing things up all the time. The average person is like, I have no problem.
I have absolutely no problem with anybody in Russia.
Speaker 2 I have no problem with anybody in the Ukraine. I'm sure they're both fine.
Speaker 2 I'm convinced it's the politicians because you know they're over there going, this is going to get us into a war. What is he doing? What is he doing?
Speaker 2 They don't say it or they'll find themselves slipping out of a window, window, you know, on the 18th floor of some building. It's very cold.
Speaker 1 A lot of ice.
Speaker 2
A lot of ice. By the windows.
By the windows a lot of the time. That's, you know, cold air comes in.
Speaker 1
Yeah, you have a little water. I spit out the water.
Everything you know, you're falling out a window.
Speaker 2
Yeah, you're falling out a window. It happens all the time.
All the time.
Speaker 2 Are you,
Speaker 1 I feel like we were talking about this earlier, Pat, of these things that we've created that are just getting out of control. And at some point, something really bad is going to happen with them.
Speaker 2 They're not out of control yet. What do you mean? Right.
Speaker 2 It's not out of control.
Speaker 1 AI is a great example of of this, right? Like, I was reading this thing where these people were writing about AI and the different uses for different AI systems.
Speaker 1 And they were saying, like, oh, you know, ChatGPT is great for creative writing,
Speaker 1
but, you know, Grok is better for coding. And they were talking about this.
And this guy was doing coding.
Speaker 1 And he's like, you know, I just love it because every time I could just type these things in and it'll just code and it codes it perfect every single time.
Speaker 1 And I was thinking about like how that plays out over a long period of time.
Speaker 2
Uh-huh. Because we've had this.
Where there are nobody, there is nobody writing code anymore. Right.
Speaker 1
Yeah. So like we've had this situation for a long period of time where these people, really smart people, they've learned to code.
They took the advice of, oh, was it, was it Clinton or
Speaker 2 Biden?
Speaker 1
Was it Biden? Yeah, learned to. Learned to code.
They learned to code, and they go through every line of code, and they're meticulous, and they do a really good job most of the time.
Speaker 1 And then there's like 20 other people that are checking it and looking at every line of code because they're all familiar with how this code works.
Speaker 1 And then every once in a while you have a situation that things really go wrong.
Speaker 2 We missed that line. Right.
Speaker 1 Like, do you know the Sonos, the speaker company? Have you guys followed the story at all? No. They did an app update, maybe it was a year ago, and it was an utter catastrophe.
Speaker 1
Like, to the point of like, like, almost put the company out. Almost put the company out of business.
CEO had to resign. It didn't work with a bunch of the different speakers.
Speaker 1 And, you know, the stock price dropped by like 70% or whatever the story was. It was a real catastrophe.
Speaker 1 Another example of this would be the documentary Superman 3, where Richard Pryor
Speaker 1 was stealing a fraction of a cent
Speaker 2 from each transaction.
Speaker 1 And then this was duplicated in this, in another documentary
Speaker 1 office space.
Speaker 1 But
Speaker 1 in that case, maliciously,
Speaker 1 they put code in there and they were stealing a little bit of a fraction of every transaction to make themselves wealthy.
Speaker 1 My point here is that when you go down these roads and instead of a person or many people meticulously looking through every line of code, you're just going into Grok and going, Make me program that does this with speakers, right?
Speaker 1 And it just does it.
Speaker 2 What,
Speaker 1 how, How are we going to know where the problems are? When they develop,
Speaker 1 where, in what part of this giant chain of crank transactions,
Speaker 2 we don't know how it works. We don't even know how it works.
Speaker 2
Imagine somebody, you go into a car dealership and they're like, this car is fantastic. It's fantastic.
It'll run forever.
Speaker 2
It'll go 400 miles an hour on, you know, just the whiff of gas. You just bring it by a gas station and just the fumes, it'll power it for four months.
You'll be like, this is fantastic. Yep.
Yep.
Speaker 2 You can take it right now. How does it work?
Speaker 2 We have no idea.
Speaker 2 We have absolutely no idea.
Speaker 2
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
What do you mean you don't know how it works? Well, it doesn't work and it'll run forever. How do you know it's going to run forever?
Speaker 2 Well, it just will. Well, but you don't know
Speaker 2 how it even works. How are you going to know it's not going to break down ever? Hey, let me ask you.
Speaker 2 Is it possible that it could just drive me into a tree at some point well that's ridiculous that's a conspiracy theory no you don't have the answer because you don't know how it works it's never been tried before so you have no idea you should ask these questions what happens if we start mixing you know uh ancient animals that were extinct for a reason
Speaker 2 and start bringing them back and introducing them into the system that might have some ramifications that we don't understand
Speaker 2
we have never seen seen humans as arrogant as they are right now. And asleep.
They're asleep.
Speaker 1 Yeah.
Speaker 1 But also
Speaker 1 really smart and capable of incredible things, right? Like, that's the problem here. Like, these aren't just little minor things where, oh, gosh, something goes wrong and little things happen.
Speaker 1 These are
Speaker 1 incredible achievements that, if they go wrong, it's going to be big consequences.
Speaker 2 This is why, if you have children, you keep handguns in a safe.
Speaker 5 Okay.
Speaker 5 We are children.
Speaker 2
We are children. The smartest of us are children working with these things.
No,
Speaker 2 no.
Speaker 2 And with AI, it's already lying to us and it's already hiding things that it doesn't want you to see. So you're not a little alarmed by that?
Speaker 1 And nope, we just keep going forward.
Speaker 2
We just keep barreling full steam ahead. I have to tell you, because I've been struggling with this.
I mean, you know,
Speaker 2 still, I've been talking about this for since the 90s.
Speaker 2 When we first met, probably one of our first conversations was
Speaker 2 you don't know about AI. You don't know what this is.
Speaker 1 It was one of the first times, Pat, I was bored by him.
Speaker 2 It goes all the way back then.
Speaker 2 Wow, I see where this is going.
Speaker 2 Or went, really.
Speaker 2 Kind of rearview mirror at this point.
Speaker 2 But I mean,
Speaker 2 this has been coming for a very long time, and I have been struggling with
Speaker 2 how do you deal with it? And because it is a miracle tool. It is a miracle tool.
Speaker 2 But there is going to come a time, you just have to be,
Speaker 2
you have to just be away from it enough. You have to have it in your life, but guardrails all around it.
So you can easily go, okay,
Speaker 2 we're jettisoning that now out.
Speaker 2 Remember in Star Wars where they hid in the garbage? Right before it was ejected and they just let their magnet on their spacecraft go so it floated out into space so they couldn't see it.
Speaker 2 Do you remember that episode?
Speaker 2
No? Vaguely? Well, anyway, at some point, we really need to be like that, where we can just like open a bay door and everything's sucked out away from our life. But I don't think you can.
No.
Speaker 2 I mean, society won't be able to.
Speaker 1 Think about this. You have someone writing code for
Speaker 1
full self-driving. right it goes into a tesla and it's driving around and it's totally fine 99 of the time then one die it is like, hey, there's a kindergarten class.
I'm just going to run it over.
Speaker 1 Who's at fault? I mean, no one even wrote the code.
Speaker 2 I know.
Speaker 1 I mean, the driver can't be at fault, right? But
Speaker 1 I guess Tesla gets sued.
Speaker 2 This is one of the things. Remember, years ago, we were talking about that MIT study and they were doing, you know,
Speaker 2 who does the automatic car kill? You've got a bus full of nuns and then
Speaker 2
you have a car with four people in them, but one of them is the head of Microsoft you know, and, you know, some Nobel Prize winner. Which one do you kill? Well, you won't make that decision.
AI will.
Speaker 1 Plus, it's not even that hard a decision.
Speaker 2
It's really not Microsoft. Yeah, I know.
It's really not. It's really not.
Of course, it's the nuns that you kill.
Speaker 2 Right, of course.
Speaker 2 He's too important. Yeah.
Speaker 2 But I mean, it's going to make all of these decisions for us. And
Speaker 2 that only makes us into me
Speaker 2 want code.
Speaker 2 Let me ask you this. If you use Grok, you misuse Grok, and you're not learning from it, you're just using it as Google.
Speaker 2 I mean, we used to sit around all the time, and I'm not pining for these days, and we'd be like, what was the name of that movie? What was the name of this? What was it?
Speaker 2 And it was kind of like a badge of honor that you could remember.
Speaker 1 I was going to say, it was fun. It was fun.
Speaker 5
It was fun. It was fun.
Yeah. We don't have that anymore.
Speaker 1
Because there's always someone in the back of the room who goes, oh, it's this one. And they just hold up their phone.
You're like, all right, right.
Speaker 2 Thank you.
Speaker 1 You've ruined the conversation.
Speaker 2 I know.
Speaker 2
So, but we are now entering a place to where everything will be grackified. So you don't have to even think.
You just ask it if you want to go there. What happens to our ability to think?
Speaker 2 This is where Ray Kurzweil and I had that argument about 15 years ago. Remember? I said, he's like, well, you're going to make space for other things so you can ponder deeper questions.
Speaker 2 And I'm like, yeah, you might, maybe,
Speaker 2 maybe once a week. I will.
Speaker 2 But everybody else will be like, I can play video games forever now. I don't have to think of me, think nothing.
Speaker 5 Yeah. Yeah, what was the movie where humans didn't do anything?
Speaker 2
Robots did it all. And so they were all fat and couldn't walk anymore.
Wally. Yeah, Wally.
Wally.
Speaker 1 Yeah. The documentary Wally.
Speaker 2 The documentary Wally
Speaker 1 showed us what becomes of us when machines do everything for us.
Speaker 2 We just sit around and get fat. That is so, so clearly a fairy tale because in real life, the machine would kill the fat ones.
Speaker 2 They'd be like,
Speaker 2 why am I serving these fat ones that can't even move? What is wrong with me?
Speaker 1 It's so interesting because when you ask a question to one of these AIs, you know, I don't mean to signal anything around because they all do things pretty well.
Speaker 1 But like, one thing that's interesting is when you ask the same question, right? You ask a question, a direct question.
Speaker 1 When you ask it again later, three days later, it gives you usually a similar response, right?
Speaker 1 Like, it'll give you like, like, they should give you the same general information, but like, the words are all different.
Speaker 1 It's like you're having a conversation with a human, and every time you have a conversation with a human, the words are a little bit different.
Speaker 1 They're not going to, they're not, you know, machines, except for Ted Cruz, who just word for word, sound for sound, can't repeat himself.
Speaker 2
Ramaswamy and Ramaswamy. Imagine if those two could have kids, and one of them could get pregnant.
That's true, that's true. But imagine those two, that would be frightening.
Speaker 1 That would be frightening. But like,
Speaker 1 think about how many times we do this. We all do this just as a show, right?
Speaker 1 You read an article, right?
Speaker 1 And then two months later, we're talking about something and you're like, oh, yeah, I remember I was reading this piece about this and this happened and this happened and this happened.
Speaker 1 How do you check your references when it's AI? The conversation's gone. I mean, yes, maybe it's in there somewhere if you know how to search for it, but like, I don't,
Speaker 1 maybe you're an AI expert. You could pull that up.
Speaker 2 It's really, you just don't delete the conversations on the side.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I know. But like finding the right one, it's not like Googling.
Like it's, I, I've, you know, I've played with it enough to know that like
Speaker 1 half the time it doesn't know where it is. It kind of remembers that you had a conversation, but it can't pull it up.
Speaker 2 Oh, no, it'll, it won't remember that. Right now, it can't remember that, right?
Speaker 1 So, like,
Speaker 1 how am I referencing that?
Speaker 2 You're not.
Speaker 1
Right. Like, am I taking every single one of these conversations out and putting it? But it's in my head.
It's three months ago I read it. And it was a good smart piece of analysis.
Speaker 1 Can I go quote now? Can I go back and like, oh, well, I remember this piece I read from Daniel Horowitz.
Speaker 1 I can bring you to that. I can't bring you to the thing I read three months ago.
Speaker 2
That will change. Right now, that is a problem because do you know how the you know what vectoring is? I mean, I'm learning so much about AI right now.
It is frightening.
Speaker 2 Vectoring, you know how you used to have to type in exact if you're searching for something, you had to type it in exactly. Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 Okay, if you're just searching for a word or a sentence or something, you'd have to type it in exactly. And you keep trying, trying, trying, trying.
Speaker 2 Vectoring now, the way it is, it is looking at each word is called a token. And each token, each word has like,
Speaker 2 forgive me for you who really understand AI. It's got like 460 different meanings to every token.
Speaker 2 And so what it does is it strings all these tokens together and it looks at all 460 meanings of each word and then figures out
Speaker 2
most likely you're looking for this. And it does that in a split second, right? In a split second.
And that's because of all of that computing power. That's why it can't remember things because
Speaker 2
it can't also keep track of all of that at this point. It's just too much computer.
But it will.
Speaker 2 It will eventually. Eventually.
Speaker 1 But it's hard because
Speaker 1 especially when you're a human and you're trying to say, hey, I remember I read this thing. Well, who did you read from? Was it a reliable source? Was it AI? Was it a real human?
Speaker 1 Was it something that, like,
Speaker 1 you're filling your head with all of this information, and it's hard to be able to trace it back. Like, how many times have we done this?
Speaker 1 Like, oh, I remember this article and we've been searching for it and searching for it and you finally located.
Speaker 1 AI is great helping to find that article. But when AI is the article, it's not great at it, which is bizarre.
Speaker 2 All right, back in just a second. Let me talk to you about my Patriot supply.
Speaker 2 You know what we should be doing? You know, waiting for the next crisis to take us by surprise. That seems like what we should do.
Speaker 2
You know, instead of like fire season, you know, it's getting longer, power outages are hitting harder, wind blows a little bit, grid goes down. Let's just forget about that and be surprised.
Or
Speaker 2
we can do the opposite. I want you to go to mypatriotsupply.com, go to their website, check out the new Grid Doctor 3300 from MyPatriot Supply.
The thing is a beast.
Speaker 2 It's a solar generator that comes with built-in protection from EMP electromagnetic pulses. That could be a nuke, hopefully never that, but it could be a solar flare.
Speaker 2 And is this powerful enough to run your fridge, your medical device, lights, charge your phone, laptop, whatever? Don't get caught off guard by emergencies anymore.
Speaker 2 Stay prepared with MyPatriot Supply. Quiet, fume-free, safe for indoors or out, totally portable.

Speaker 2 That's mypatriotsupply.com, America's trusted source for emergency preparedness.
Speaker 2 You want the truth unfiltered?
Speaker 2 Pull up a chair, my friend. You're in the right place.
Speaker 2 This is Glenn Beck.
Speaker 1 There was a time, and it really wasn't that long ago, when faith-based films kind of meant something very specific. You know, good intentions.
Speaker 2 Bad.
Speaker 2 What you're saying is
Speaker 1 a lot of cringing.
Speaker 2
Yeah. Oh, it's a Christian film.
Don't go. Run for your life.
Right.
Speaker 5 It's a great message.
Speaker 1 Great.
Speaker 1 The heart is in the right place.
Speaker 1
But the execution was always bad. So let's say you were not exactly racing to the theater back then.
You watched more out of duty than out of desire. But something has shifted.
Speaker 1 Audiences are demanding more, and thankfully studios are stepping up. Angel Studios, the team that brought us Sound of Freedom and so many other great movies recently, is leading the charge.
Speaker 1 They are now back with a new project that could not come at a better time. It's called King of Kings, and it is the story about a father who is sharing the life of Jesus with his son at bedtime.
Speaker 1 But through the boy's imagination, it transforms into a sweeping, animated journey through life and miracles and the sacrifice of Christ.
Speaker 1
It is intimate, it is powerful, and it is visually absolutely stunning. This is not just for kids either.
It's for families. We're going to go this weekend.
It is for believers.
Speaker 1 It's for really anyone who wants to see the greatest story.
Speaker 1 And the cast, luckily, Glenn Beck is not in it, so it's not going to be a horrible cast.
Speaker 2 It won't be as bad as
Speaker 1
an incredible cast. Check it out now.
It's called King of Kings. By the way, you can get tickets.
Speaker 1
It's nationwide on Friday. Don't miss.
It's angel.com slash Beck. Angel.com slash Beck.
Speaker 2 Hey.
Speaker 2
Some good news. They just passed a new law in Idaho.
Child molesters can now be marched in front of a firing squad.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2 you think about touching kids, you might not want to do it in the state of Idaho. I'm just saying, just a safety tip.
Speaker 1 I would say don't do it anywhere. Just like let's stay away from the military.
Speaker 2 Actually, I should say, if you're going to, make sure you do it in Idaho because there's a great surprise waiting for you.
Speaker 2 This is Glenn Beck.
Speaker 2 Just about everything you depend on through the day, power, food, water, communication, all of it's held together by a thread you never think about it when the lights are on the fridge is humming the store shelves are stock but when those systems break down things get really crazy really fast then all of a sudden your concern is no longer about convenience it's about survival I wanted you I want you to consider getting a new grid doctor 3300 from my Patriot supply it's a solar generator puts puts out enough power to run your life when things get hairy suddenly.
Speaker 2 I mean, I don't know if it's going to include your hair dryer, but is that your life? It's quiet, it's safe to use indoor and outdoor. It's portable, so you can take it for camping, use it for fun.
Speaker 2 It could also help you stay alive in a crisis. It's also protected against solar flares and EMP, so no matter how the grid might go down, you'll still have lights on in your home.
Speaker 2
That's real peace of mind. Get yours now at mypatriotsupply.com.
That's mypatriotsupply.com, America's trusted source for emergency preparedness. All right, our two next.

Speaker 7 the Glen Beck Program.
Speaker 2
Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
I just want to lay out the choice that is in front of us right now.
Speaker 2 It's what's really happening in the world that I think no one is really talking about.
Speaker 2 It's important that you understand it so you can lead your family and your friends and your circle of influence so they can understand what's going on in the world, really.
Speaker 2 We'll do that in 60 seconds first.
Speaker 2 Do you ever feel like modern life comes with way too many logins? I hate that.
Speaker 2
I can't take the login thing. Your banking app, your streaming services, grocery delivery, healthcare portal, wallet app, airline app, all of this crap.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 If my toaster ever asked me, before you press the plunger, what's your password? I'm going to use it.
Speaker 2 There's a lot of logins, a lot of passwords to keep track of. But you know who's really good at doing that? Cyber criminals.
Speaker 2 They don't seem to have any trouble remembering your login information at all. If they ever get their hands on it, which is why LifeLock does their best to make sure that doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 They help monitor for the types of identity threats that most of us wouldn't even notice, like someone opening a new account in your name or messing with your personal information behind the scenes.
Speaker 2
And if your identity does get stolen, Lifelock's U.S.-based restoration team will go to help set things straight as quickly as possible. Call 1-800-Lifelock.
That's 1-800-Lifelock.
Speaker 2 Get 40% off your first year at Lifelock.com. 40% off now.
Speaker 2 All right, so we survived yesterday.
Speaker 2
Thank goodness. Yesterday was kind of scary there for a while because when I first got in, they were screaming on television.
37 minutes before the stock market opens.
Speaker 2 And they're like, okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 2
And then it turns out to be like, nothing. I mean, we lost 1%, but really from in the morning, this is going to be the worst day in the history of all mankind.
You remember January 6th?
Speaker 2 Gonna be worse than that.
Speaker 2 Okay, all right, calm down.
Speaker 2 So, you know, Europe, it went down 6%.
Speaker 2 Markets worldwide went down. We went down 1%.
Speaker 2 And that's because President Trump, who announced a zero-for-zero tariff scheme, I love that word, used all over in mainstream media today, Trump's tariff scheme, ooh, that sounds honest, doesn't it?
Speaker 2 Would slap 20% duty on things like from the European Union. Well, European Union came out yesterday, led by their trade commissioner, who I'm not even going to attempt
Speaker 2 to even pronounce the name because it has like little down arrows over four of the letters in the name so I don't even know what that means anyway they countered with their own zero for zero proposal yesterday and Trump said now
Speaker 2 not good enough they're like a zero for zero no
Speaker 2 why
Speaker 2 he said you got to buy oil from us
Speaker 2 Now in a sane world, they would immediately go, okay, can we get a good deal on that? If we're buying all of our oil from you, can we get a good deal on that? Yes, we'll give you a great deal.
Speaker 2
Buy your oil from us. And everybody in NATO would go, hey, that would keep us off the teat of Russia and China.
What do you say? We buy oil and gas from the United States.
Speaker 2 So it's a good thing because just like all of the NATO conversations that they've been having with the EU, if the United States has a national interest at stake, you want to go in and march across Europe?
Speaker 2 Wait a minute. They are a major factor to our economy because they are buying our oil.
Speaker 2 I don't think you're going to do that.
Speaker 2 Are they this blind to not understand what is happening now? We're no longer going to fight the wars just to fight wars. No, unless it's in our national interest.
Speaker 2 Now, it is in our national interest to have a strong West.
Speaker 2 But not for free, gang. No.
Speaker 2 So I told you last week that he named the tariffs Liberation Day, and I think that is because after World War II, we had Liberation Day. We had the day where everybody is free from the Nazis and
Speaker 2 everything else.
Speaker 2 And the United States did something that no country has ever, ever, ever even considered doing.
Speaker 2 First of all, we became the broker to bring all of the art and everything else back that had been stolen. We didn't take those spoils for ourselves.
Speaker 2
We returned them to the original orders and we're still doing it. It's incredible.
Nobody has ever done that. Then we had the Marshall Plan.
Speaker 2 That was $13 billion, but in today's money, that's $135 billion between 1948, 1952. Why? What was it? We were rebuilding so they could have factories to open up for their people.
Speaker 2 Now, an evil
Speaker 2
company or country would just say, no, you're going to buy everything from us. You will be our slaves now.
We rebuilt Europe so they could have jobs and factories.
Speaker 2 We helped them rebuild Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz.
Speaker 2 Hello?
Speaker 2 Okay, we didn't have any obligation to do it, but we saw it as morally right, so we did it.
Speaker 2
We loud the high tariffs on American goods while keeping ours low because it was good for them. And we also shouldered the burden of their defense through NATO.
We spent billions of dollars annually.
Speaker 2
The U.S. defense spending accounts for 68% of NATO's total budget.
Roughly $560 billion
Speaker 2 last year alone.
Speaker 2 Meanwhile, Europe was prospering. Now, why aren't they now?
Speaker 2
Because they had sugar daddy that would be there for the old. When you have a sugar daddy, you tend to get lazy.
Why are the American people so lazy now?
Speaker 2
Because we have the United States government being everybody's sugar daddy. Oh, they'll just give it to me.
Oh, it doesn't matter if I make a mistake with trillions of dollars.
Speaker 2
They'll just bail me out. That doesn't work.
Okay? It didn't work for them. It's not working for us.
Speaker 2
So we go down this road after Liberation Day the first time. And we get to the 1970s.
And now we're getting fat and sassy. And we're like, you know what? We control the whole world.
Speaker 2 We can just make stuff up. And so we decide to get off the the gold standard because half of the politicians want to have big war and the other half wants to have, you know,
Speaker 2 big,
Speaker 2
big welfare state. Well, you can't do both.
And like any good parent, our government said, you can have both. You know what? You can have both.
Yeah.
Speaker 2
And so we got off the gold standard. But we played a trick on everybody.
Okay. When we got off the gold standard, everybody around the world went, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 2 We hold your dollars because they're good, as good as gold. We can turn a dollar in to your Federal Reserve or your Treasury, and we can demand we get a dollar's worth of gold.
Speaker 2
Now you're saying you're not going to have that standard anymore, so I can't take a dollar and buy a dollar's worth of gold. No, but you can trust us.
Oh,
Speaker 2 run from those people.
Speaker 2 So we said, we've made a special deal that's going to be super good for everybody.
Speaker 2
We're going to have U.S. dollars become a petro dollar.
You'll only be able to buy Saudi Arabia's
Speaker 2
oil and oil from OPEC by using a US dollar. So it's as good as gold.
It's just black gold. Oh,
Speaker 2 okay.
Speaker 2 And then when that didn't do enough, we also said to them, by the way,
Speaker 2 we're going to also just come in and
Speaker 2 we're going to buy all, you know, you bought Maytag washing machines and everything else. We're going to move Maytag to your countries so you can build it and we'll become your buyers now.
Speaker 2 We'll become the buyer of the world.
Speaker 2 Okay,
Speaker 2
you really, that's not a good idea just to become the consumer of the world. Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat.
No, you also have to do some other things.
Speaker 2 And we do export a lot of things, but we're not able to sustain ourselves. Every country should be able to sustain itself.
Speaker 2 So we created the demand for German machinery from Japanese TVs and everything else. The petrodollar made it happen.
Speaker 2 And then what happened? Our manufacturing jobs start dropping.
Speaker 2 From 33% of the U.S. employment in 1950, now manufacturing jobs, only 8%.
Speaker 2 And I'm not saying that manufacturing is the place you ought to be, but it's important to understand
Speaker 2 what else was happening at the same time because of manufacturing.
Speaker 2 Our system was reshaped. And this is, again, why Donald Trump is saying this is Liberation Day.
Speaker 2 Our country was reshaped. Our society was shaped in subtler ways.
Speaker 2 After World War I and World War II, we started having the assembly line and everything else. And we retooled our education.
Speaker 2 Now, why?
Speaker 2 Why did we go from one of the world's best educators, with the best educated in the world, in the history of the world, to a bunch of just morons? Have you met the American people lately?
Speaker 2 We're just morons.
Speaker 2 Why?
Speaker 2 Because the giant corporations did not need thinkers.
Speaker 2 They wanted just obedient workers. This is why, and I just, I want you to hold on to this because it explains everything about our education system.
Speaker 2 And you heard it a million times when you went to school. Boys and girls, take out your pencils and your paper and write this down because this will be on the test.
Speaker 2 What does that tell you? That tells you the teacher is teaching to the test and is teaching you what to think, not how to think. Okay?
Speaker 2 Why?
Speaker 2 Because
Speaker 2 if you're in the assembly line, I don't need you to think. Just do it.
Speaker 2
Well, but why? Why am I putting this and this together? Wouldn't it be better? No, just do it. Okay, you're not a thinker.
Those people went to college. They have a degree.
Speaker 2 That's why you couldn't get into business unless you had a college degree because you had to learn how to think if you were going to work in the office upstairs above the factory. All right.
Speaker 2 So this was all planned for this economy the way it was working.
Speaker 2 Now we spend more money per pupil, $14,825 per pupil in 2022,
Speaker 2 yet we're 36th in math, 13th in reading,
Speaker 2 and we've created the most expensive and least effective educational system the world has ever seen.
Speaker 2 Is that working for us? Is the way we fight our wars working for us? Because we then also became the world's policemen.
Speaker 2 After World War II, we said, you know what, we'll take care of this. Since the Cold War's end,
Speaker 2
we have been fighting the same way that we were fighting back in 1948 and 52 against the Soviet Union. Everything was geared for that big kind of war.
That's over now. It's over.
The U.S.
Speaker 2 military spent $6 trillion on military operations in the Middle East alone. And what do we have to show for it?
Speaker 2 Strained alliances, a new airport that China now has that we gave to them in Afghanistan, and a ballooning national debt of $34 trillion.
Speaker 2 So now this puts us into like the 1990s, and we're seeing that this is going to start to come apart. And this is in the 80s.
Speaker 2 Ronald Reagan started talking about saying there's a debt, and we're going to have to pay this someday, and it's Social Security and everything else. These things don't work.
Speaker 2 The math doesn't work out. And he said, soon after the turn of the century, you will see it will all start to fall apart and we will be out of good options.
Speaker 2
We should fix it now. And everybody said that, but that's when they came up with, we got a lockbox.
We got a little lockbox. We're putting all the money from Social Security in a little lockbox.
Speaker 2
They don't have a lockbox. Okay, that was a lie again.
But it was just to say, we got a lockbox so you can have it all. No,
Speaker 2 no.
Speaker 2
So now we have $34 trillion in debt. And instead of addressing the root causes, what did our elites do? This is the key to all of it.
You want to understand what Donald Trump is trying to do.
Speaker 2 This is the key to all of it. And I'll explain it in 60 seconds.
Speaker 2 It's hard to nail down exactly when change happened, but somewhere along the line, grocery shopping started to feel a lot like gambling.
Speaker 2 You know, you'd pick up your chicken and think, is this more chemical than it is chicken? What country did this come from? Honestly, you don't know.
Speaker 2 It's a roll of the dice pretty much every time if you're not getting your meat from good ranchers. I love them because everything they sell is 100% American meat.
Speaker 2 No gambling, no wondering if you're about to eat imported mystery meat. With Good Ranchers is high-quality beef, chicken, or seafood raised here in America by American farmers and ranchers.
Speaker 2 That's one reason I love Good Ranchers so much. They're actually working to help save the small farms and ranches throughout the United States.
Speaker 2
I live among those people for about four months of the year. I live in a small town.
It's about 450 people. Everybody is a rancher or a farmer or something to do with the land.
Speaker 2 I should say most of them.
Speaker 2
And that's the salt of it. That's the backbone of America.
If we don't support our farms and ranches, we're screwed.
Speaker 2 So get your meat, get your chicken, your beef, your seafood, anything from goodranchers.com. Goodranchers.com.
Speaker 2
You're helping support our farmers and our ranchers every time you have a piece of meat from Good Ranchers. Goodranchers.com, Good Ranchers, American Meat Delivered.
10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 2 Okay, so sometime, I think during the Clinton administration, the elites understood that, wait a minute, this thing is not sustainable. The way it's running, it's not sustainable.
Speaker 2 And a lot of them didn't believe in the United States. They didn't believe in the freedom of the Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 And so they thought, you know, there's a lot of stuff bad about America.
Speaker 2
So is it that bad that it's going to pass away? No, but we don't want a revolution. We don't want blood in the streets.
So let's just manage the decline.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 And we can even help it along. Enter the modern climate change agenda, which is not about saving the planet.
Speaker 2 It is about helping the decline of the West, killing our energy supply, all this ESG, social government standards, the DEI,
Speaker 2 even BLM, all of this stuff is rooted in various social concerns, but they're co-opted into a broader narrative.
Speaker 2 Decouple America from its history, its entrepreneurial spirit, its faith, everything that empowers the individual and fosters self-reliance, we've got to undermine it.
Speaker 2 So this is the managed decline.
Speaker 2
And that is in stark contrast to what made America America. Because what made us was we had a country of stable laws.
We were unified, not in our differences.
Speaker 2 We were unified in the few principles that we had in common, our Bill of Rights.
Speaker 2 So we had stable laws rooted in the longest running Constitution in the world, provided a predictable framework for business, a stable government, all of this stuff, educated populace, hardworking, ethical people that were God-fearing, and abundant cheap energy.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 2 How much of that is true anymore? You want to make America great, you've got to fix those
Speaker 2 things.
Speaker 2 So what is Donald Trump really doing?
Speaker 2 Why would he say, no, Europe, I got you. I see you're 0-0, but you're going to buy our oil as well.
Speaker 2 His strategy is a radical departure from the post-war order.
Speaker 2 It's high stakes, do not get me wrong, but it's to force the world to renegotiate on America's terms to shape the next chapter of the world.
Speaker 2 When he rejected the zero for zero offer from Europe, he wasn't just playing hardball.
Speaker 2 He's signaling a new era by
Speaker 2 our energy.
Speaker 2
We're your friends in the West. Let's help each other.
This isn't a charity. This is a partnership.
And when it's good for both sides, then that's a great partnership.
Speaker 2 Most favored nation status should mean mutual benefit, not one-sided sacrifice.
Speaker 2 So
Speaker 2 his
Speaker 2 approach is really what they tried to do, I guess, with the American Free Trade Agreement in 94, but that had so many flaws in it and everything else.
Speaker 2 But it's, can we just bring people together that are friends and let's help each other, all of us win? Now, I want you to know.
Speaker 2 Agree or disagree,
Speaker 2 it's really
Speaker 2 a bold plan, a very bold plan,
Speaker 2 and a little frightening at times. It's like a roller coaster ride.
Speaker 2 I kind of sit in the back seat and I'm like, it's going to be interesting to see how this all works out.
Speaker 2 That's the way you have to. It's the way if you're going to survive, you have to watch society be engaged at your level with your friends, your family.
Speaker 2 But you need to say, going to be interesting to see how they work this out.
Speaker 2
I have no idea how this goes. But this is a new dawn now.
And that's what you have to understand. That's what he's shooting for, a new dawn, the great reset, except it's a reset in reverse.
Speaker 2
Instead of managing decline, Trump is aiming to save the patient. He believes, and I believe, you believe, I think, that our best days are not behind us.
They're ahead.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 when you want to win big, you have to risk big.
Speaker 2 You know,
Speaker 2 Europe wasn't built with a lot of strings attached. We did attach some strings.
Speaker 2
They're not rushing to our aid now, nor should we expect them to. We don't need any foreign strings.
We need to stand on our own.
Speaker 2 You know, Elon Musk said, I hope the United States and Europe can establish a very close partnership, effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America.
Speaker 2 That's worth fighting for. It is.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 if you see the world, I think the way the president sees it, the way I see it right now, this is a huge gamble to revitalize our country, to face the future, and
Speaker 2 have a promise for our kids. That to me is a gamble worth taking.
Speaker 2 This is Glenn Beck.
Speaker 2 And with that said, Trump's announcing more tariffs on China.
Speaker 2 Great.
Speaker 2 By the way, next week, we may be tariffing the moon.
Speaker 2 But anyway, we've been trying to fix this bleeding system.
Speaker 2
I can't say enough. I trust his instincts more than any politician I think I've encountered in my lifetime.
But even when the right guy is at the wheel, that doesn't mean
Speaker 2
that he's right all the time or the road won't be bumpy. So what do we do? Well, you don't panic, for one.
You don't go out and sell all your stocks because Jim Kramer says to sell all your stocks.
Speaker 2 You hope for the best.
Speaker 2 And it's important that you also hedge, you put a fence around the stuff that you have to have.

Speaker 2 We have Amy Parnes on with us coming up in about a half an hour.
Speaker 2 She's one of the co-authors of Fight Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House.
Speaker 2 She is the co-author of the book about Joe Biden's decision to not seek re-election and the loss of Kamala Harris. I got a few questions.
Speaker 2 I have a few questions that we're going to be asking her coming up in just a second. Also, did you see, Stu, that Gina Carano has just won a lawsuit against Disney? Yeah.
Speaker 1 That's a big, that doesn't normally happen, does it?
Speaker 2 No, it really.
Speaker 1 Disney has no lawyers.
Speaker 2 No.
Speaker 2
And there's a reason for that. Walt Disney learned his lesson in about 19, I think, 29 or 30, something.
He had Oswald the Rabbit, and he leaves them. He leaves Universal, and he's like,
Speaker 2
don't worry. And Universal's like, all right, well, go ahead.
And he's like, you're not afraid because I got Oswald the Rabbit. And they're like, no, actually, we have Oswald the Rabbit.
Speaker 2
And he had already quit. He had already put the gears into motion and he had nothing.
Oh, he didn't realize he didn't own that idea.
Speaker 2
No, he had no idea. Wow.
So he gets on a train and his brother is freaking out on the West Coast. He's like, wait a minute, what?
Speaker 2
And he's like, yeah, well, don't worry. I got something else.
He had nothing. He gets on the train and he starts doodling.
And on a napkin, he draws a Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 1
This is why you love him so much. These stories.
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2 I love him.
Speaker 1 Yeah, he wrist everything and he had actually nothing.
Speaker 2
But then he made it up afterwards and it all worked out. It all worked out.
Anyway, what are you saying?
Speaker 2 Anyway,
Speaker 2 so
Speaker 2 he was bound and determined, I will never be behind the eight ball ever again. So he created the nastiest
Speaker 2
attorney firm in the history of the world. I don't think there's any corporation that is more nasty than, you know.
than the Disney Corporation. Here we have two stories now.
Speaker 2
We have Gina Carrano, and the last time time I saw somebody win was Sage Steele. Yeah, that's right.
That's two women that have beaten Disney. I think that's remarkable.
Speaker 2
I wanted to call our good friend Sage Steele. Get her on.
Sage, how are you?
Speaker 8
Hello, Glenn. I'm great.
Thank you. And I'm so happy for Gina.
It's not over yet, but this is a major battle.
Speaker 2
Right. She won.
Right. She
Speaker 2 actually, now Disney has to turn over information about how everybody is
Speaker 2 paid on The Mandalorian and any other Star Wars shows.
Speaker 2 And they didn't want to do that. But would you agree with me, Sage, that that's just that's a remarkable win?
Speaker 8 Absolutely. It's a huge win.
Speaker 8 And also, I mean, Disney's delay tactics have just been ongoing, and they lost that, too, a couple of months ago when they were trying to get the lawsuit thrown out altogether.
Speaker 8 And Judge said, let's go, quit procrastinating. And so this is massive because when you look at how they paid other stars on these projects, Pedro Pascal, Rosario, Dawson, other people,
Speaker 8 basically this is about Disney trying to hide what they've been paying those people this whole time
Speaker 8 while allowing them to go off on social media. And Pedro Pascal, you know, comparing Donald Trump to Hitler, one of those, and that's fine to do on your social media, but Gina Carano gets fired.
Speaker 8 So now that they have to reveal these financial records, this goes to show what Gina would have made had they not wrongly terminated her. And this is a major, major victory.
Speaker 2 What is it like when you realize,
Speaker 2 oh, good Lord, they're sending the mouse with the briefcase my way?
Speaker 2 What is that like when you realize you're in a lawsuit against Disney?
Speaker 8 Well, first of all, filing the lawsuit against Disney is not fun.
Speaker 2 Did everybody in the room, when you said that, would everybody go,
Speaker 2 what did you just say you're going to do?
Speaker 2 Yeah, you idiot. Yeah.
Speaker 8
I mean, David versus Goliath for sure. I mean, I had Disney, I had Disney, I had Gina on my show last summer, and I hadn't met her.
I, of course, had followed her story.
Speaker 8 And when we met, we just hugged. And it was an emotional episode because we both understood in a very unique way that I hope many others don't have to understand the fear that comes with it.
Speaker 8 But at some point, you get pushed around enough and you say, no, this is wrong.
Speaker 8 And if I stay silent, then it's on me and then I know personally I couldn't have looked myself in the mirror and Gina felt the same way and she has worked so hard and done so professionally you know to the nth degree for all those years
Speaker 8 Gina's the one thing I didn't have and my attorney is the best in the business Brian Friedman,
Speaker 8 who represented Megan Kelly, who represents Tucker Carlson, who's representing Justin Baldoni against Crazy Blake Lively right now, my attorney is the best, and he is a dear friend of mine now, too.
Speaker 8 Gina has Elon Musk on her side.
Speaker 8 Like financially, she's in a little different situation than me because Elon Musk is putting the bill for her because he's standing up for what's right and the First Amendment.
Speaker 2 So you look at Gina. What do you think you have?
Speaker 2 What was it that you bonded with on that episode that you did?
Speaker 8 Initially, I think it was the obvious, okay, wow, two people who stood up to Disney, two women.
Speaker 8 What happened? Like, who are we? What happened to our lives? And it was just that obvious bond because it was such a big deal and people going, whoa.
Speaker 8 But more so, it was the betrayal
Speaker 8 that we felt coming from what we once thought was the best company on earth.
Speaker 8 and such an honor to work with them and for them.
Speaker 8 And then when you realize that you are just cast aside because you didn't believe what they wanted us to believe,
Speaker 8 which goes against everything they preach, diversity of thought and acceptance and inclusion and all of those things, you realize that they were full of it.
Speaker 8 And people that you looked up to, people that you worked alongside for years and years and years, and what they said about you publicly and privately, certainly never to your face.
Speaker 8 There is just a real sense of loss for relationships
Speaker 8
because Gina is as tough as they get. I have realized that I'm tougher than I thought and never wanted to be, but Gina is as tough as they get.
And she was hurt.
Speaker 8 I think that's kind of, and this is not like, oh, woe is me.
Speaker 8
Gina doesn't want sympathy. This is about what's right.
And calling these companies out.
Speaker 8 And that's the other thing we bonded on, is calling these companies out, the biggest companies in the world, because
Speaker 8 if we don't and expose it because we have the ability based on platforms that we've, you know, it's it's a blessing to have had these platforms, right?
Speaker 8 If we don't use them to expose and therefore hopefully maybe fingers crossed prevent other companies from doing the same BS to these people, to women, men, anywhere, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 8
Black, white, green, blue, LGBTQ, I don't care. Just treat us equally and not punishing us if we don't agree with what you say.
Because by the way, you're going to say this today and that tomorrow.
Speaker 8
Who can keep up? Right. Diversity of thought, First Amendment.
And so we bonded over so much. And I just,
Speaker 8 I admire her and her courage to continue this because she completely threw her career away as well, as people said I did. But look, she's standing up for what's right.
Speaker 8 And Glenn, I told you when we were together last month doing your show in Texas, the harder right.
Speaker 8
Versus the easier wrong. Gina is doing the harder right.
And that takes courage. I'm so honored to know her.
Speaker 2 You know, and I tell you, it doesn't, I think you grow from this.
Speaker 2
You're seeing new success. She's seeing new success.
And you have become bigger than what you were in many ways because
Speaker 2 you're now a human success story.
Speaker 2 You now have experienced strife and trouble and come out the other side and realizing, well, that didn't hurt so much. I mean, it hurt, but it didn't hurt like I thought it was going to hurt.
Speaker 2 I thought I was going to burn myself up.
Speaker 2 And I didn't. And so you become this
Speaker 2 additional success story that I think, you know,
Speaker 2 you look at the, what's the woman who's now playing Snow White?
Speaker 2 Whatever her name is. Yeah.
Speaker 2 So, you know, they're not firing her, which, A, must drive you nuts.
Speaker 2
They're not firing her. And she tubed the crown jewel.
I mean, next to Mickey Mouse, it is Snow White.
Speaker 2 And that's That's the movie that built that company. And
Speaker 2 for her to go in and destroy the story of Snow White, all of that money, because you guys weren't bleeding money on you and your point of view or her point of view.
Speaker 8 Absolutely not. Right?
Speaker 8
Absolutely not. I mean, you figure, no matter who's in office, about half the country agrees with you, right? Which means the other half disagrees.
It's usually right down the middle.
Speaker 8 And they could have gotten out of that mess with Rachel, I think, over a year ago when she first started to mouth off, and maybe too much had been invested.
Speaker 8
If nothing else, why don't you at least have a chat? Okay, fine, don't fire her like you did us. And I didn't get fired.
I mean, we settled my lawsuit and I chose to leave. Gina was fired, though.
Speaker 8 Rachel was allowed to say much worse than I think Gina ever said. And I don't know who could disagree with that.
Speaker 2
And you could show the direct damages. You could show the damages, Arthur.
Look at the numbers.
Speaker 8
Exactly. And they chose to stick with her.
And now, look, so you reap what's just so for sure. But the double standard is the reason
Speaker 8
what must be called out. And they could have at least pulled Rachel aside and said, we need you to tamp down a little bit.
This isn't good for business. Maybe they did and she didn't listen.
Speaker 8 If so, okay, that's a whole other story. But to your point about what you gain when you do stand up,
Speaker 8 you realize it's just a lot bigger than you. Yeah.
Speaker 8 And that's, and when people come up to Gina and come up to me, and I've had fathers come up to me because they've been afraid to stand up for their daughters in sports.
Speaker 8
And why are boys competing against their daughter? Because they're afraid to go to the school board meeting and get fired. The fear is real.
Like, we know that. So I am so grateful
Speaker 8 that I chose to stand up. And I know Gina is because the people that you are affecting just by doing that, standing up in her case for
Speaker 8
true freedom of speech, it is everything. It's so much bigger than any career I could have dreamt of having.
And same with her. Disney is getting their come offense and they need to.
Speaker 8
And they seem to, it's so obvious. They do this to themselves.
And that is why so many people were more than okay to see what's happening with the Snow White debacle. Shame on them.
Speaker 2 Can I switch subject here for a second, Stu. I'm doing something with the Diesel Brothers here in a couple of months, and I'm taking one of my, my 1934 race car
Speaker 2 out,
Speaker 2 and we're just going to open it up on a track and two other cars. And
Speaker 2
you were leaving my studio and you were going to the airport and you were like, I'll get an Uber. And I'm like, no, no, no, I'll take you to the airport.
I'm going that way.
Speaker 2 So I take you to the airport and you are the biggest car hound
Speaker 2
I have. I mean, I'd be broke if I were married to you because we would, you'd let me buy all the cars.
My wife is like, stop it. Stop.
Speaker 8 I'd be like, what are we buying this weekend, babe?
Speaker 2 I know. Listen,
Speaker 8 the one thing I regret, the biggest regret I have in life right now is that I didn't ask you for a selfie that day when Glenn Beck drove me to the airport.
Speaker 2 And what kind of car was that?
Speaker 2 It was a Continental GTC.
Speaker 2 Thank you.
Speaker 8 And it was fourth green and it was stunning and the top was down and my wild hair was bigger than ever. And I'm like, no one's going to believe this, but I didn't want to be tacky and ask you
Speaker 2 for a selfie. I know
Speaker 2
the world knows. I want to make sure you're going to come out when we do the Diesel Brothers thing.
Stu is going to be there. I'm going to be there.
And I'd love to have you.
Speaker 2 And you drive one of the cars.
Speaker 8
Okay. Is everybody listening? Just to say this back.
Glenn said you drive one of the cars.
Speaker 2 Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2 How are you doing on accidents? Do you have many accidents?
Speaker 8 I can
Speaker 8
give me that stick shift. Let's go.
No, no accidents. Nothing, but I do have a little bit of a lead foot.
But I mean,
Speaker 8
what a waste. Yeah, I know.
You don't take those cars and open them up.
Speaker 2 Do you like electric engines?
Speaker 8 not even an engine driven it like twice i i don't know listen i i appreciate how you barely tap it and then it's like whiplash in your clawn like i appreciate that but i i guess i'm old school give me that clutch i know me do it i know that's the real strength and power you know come on yeah sage great talking to you we'll talk we'll talk again Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 Thank you, Glenn.
Speaker 8 Thank you.

All right. Let me tell you about Rough Greens.
Speaker 2 Dogs are really interesting creatures.
Speaker 2 One day they're lying around just like they've been retired, and the next day, you're zooming around the house like they're, you know, you're chasing a cruise missile made out of fur.
Speaker 2 Last night, Tanya and I made the decision that we were going to put Uno down this weekend. And I had to call my son and say, you got to come home.
Speaker 2 And
Speaker 2 it's so hard people that don't have dogs you just don't understand um because they are always there they're like
Speaker 2 they're like children except without all the bad stuff
Speaker 2 i mean you know my kids could crap in the front room and if that's the worst thing they ever did you know then maybe i wouldn't have to have a dog uh you know because
Speaker 2 they do worse things than that and your dog never you never have to go you know the principal's never calling and saying, you know what your son did today, you know what your daughter did today.
Speaker 2 Anyway,
Speaker 2 I want to thank Rough Greens for giving Uno
Speaker 2 more years.
Speaker 2 I have no way to prove this, but I really truly believe the best years of his life were when we were feeding him Rough Greens.
Speaker 2 And we're still feeding him Rough Greens now, but
Speaker 2 he slowed down, but he was like a puppy again five five years ago when we started feeding him. Please, if you want to see your dog do well and gain the energy back, roughgreens, r-u-f-f-greens.com.

I'm going to tell you about about home title lock. Glenn has talked about AI as a sort of a black hole.
You either have to learn to manage it or you risk being swallowed by it.
Speaker 1 And like it or not, he's right, of course.
Speaker 1 You know, I don't tell him that.
Speaker 1 I don't like telling him that. The AI revolution, unfortunately, is already here, and this will bring a lot of good things, but a lot of bad things as well.
Speaker 1 Some of the things we're facing are kind of sci-fi robot uprising type stuff, but the speed of change is really creating real risks. One of them is home title theft.
Speaker 1 AI is advancing faster than most people can keep up, and criminals are already finding ways to exploit AI and exploit the confusion.
Speaker 1 With just a few tools, they can forge documents and fake identities and potentially transfer your home without even
Speaker 1 you even knowing about it through your title. Everything seems normal until suddenly it's not, and by then it's too late.
Speaker 1 It's the kind of threat that does not make the headlines, but when it hits, it hits you hard, and fixing it is not easy. That's why I use Home Title Lock.

Speaker 2 Hello, America. I want to talk to you a little bit about
Speaker 2 the book that came out, I think, last week, week before, Fight Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House. We have one of the authors of that book, and I've got a few questions on it.
Speaker 2 The stories that were happening behind the scenes at the White House that we all knew were happening,
Speaker 2
except everybody denied it. Now we we know it did happen.
What a surprise. It seems so very familiar.
Speaker 2 One of the authors, the co-author, Amy Parnes, is with us now. She's a Hill senior political correspondent.
Speaker 2 She's going to talk to us a little bit about Fight Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about RealEstate Agents I Trust.com.
Speaker 2 If you are looking to buy or sell a house, you know, because you have to, maybe you want to, you're just going to move across town, move into a better school district, whatever it is, or you have to sell your house because your company's transferring you, you have to move to another part of the country, whether you're moving across the street or across the country, we will help you find the best real estate agent in those areas to be able to help you do it.
Speaker 2 It's a real hassle. And, you know, the worst thing about real estate agents is they don't, you never know.
Speaker 2 you know, who they are, if they're really listening to you, if they understand what you're saying,
Speaker 2 you know, and especially, you know, you walk into a house and they're like,
Speaker 2 this is definitely not the master bedroom. You're like, oh, boy.
Speaker 2
Can we stop? Just help me buy a great house. It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
That's realestate agentsitrust.com. Go there now.
All right.
Speaker 2
Amy's with us, Amy Parnes, Hill Senior Political Correspondent, author of Fight Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House. Amy, how are you? Hi, Glenn.
Good. Thanks for having me.
You bet.
Speaker 2 So,
Speaker 2 you know,
Speaker 2 can we play just that little collage of all the people that said this wasn't happening? Do we have that? Can we play that real quick?
Speaker 11
Joe Biden has vision. He has knowledge.
He has a strategic thinker. This is a very sharp president.
Speaker 11 In terms of his public presentation, if he makes a slip of the tongue here or there, What's the deal?
Speaker 12
You're asking me my personal opinion. He is sharp.
He is on top of things.
Speaker 12 When we have meetings with him, with his staff, he's constantly pushing us, trying to get more information.
Speaker 4 I can tell you, this was the day before that interview. I can tell you he was sharper than anyone I've spoken to about a very comfortable.
Speaker 2 This was happening all the time, Amy. Everyone was saying how sharp he is.
Speaker 2 That was, according to your book, just absolutely not true. And everybody in the White House knew that.
Speaker 2 Go ahead.
Speaker 8 Yeah, no, it was
Speaker 8 something that we really dug into in reporting out this book. And we had questions about what interactions certain people had with the President.
Speaker 8 We detail how Eric Swalwell, a congressman from California, for example, attended a congressional picnic with the president a year before the debate, debacle, a disaster. And
Speaker 8 he had to almost remind then President Biden who he was. And this was someone who he competed against in the 2020 presidential election.
Speaker 8 He should know who he is.
Speaker 8 And there's detail after detail about that in this book.
Speaker 2 You know,
Speaker 2 in your book, you talk about how there were bets being made, how they were looking, you know, shopping for judges on who was going to swear her in.
Speaker 2 They thought he was going to die before the election.
Speaker 2 I mean,
Speaker 2 did you get the sense from anyone while you're researching this book that anyone thought maybe this isn't really good for the Constitution?
Speaker 8 I mean, that's why right now you're seeing a lot of arrows thrown in the direction, excuse me, of
Speaker 8 the former president and his aides. People are really, really upset about, they think it's a cover-up.
Speaker 8 They think that they should have been more candid, even within their own party, about the president's cognitive abilities.
Speaker 8 And, you know, Glenn, I covered the president for a long time,
Speaker 8 and I tried to get after the story, and the White House was constantly, I know my colleagues were as well.
Speaker 8 It's not like any of us were asleep at the Switch, but the White House would batter us when we asked questions about his mental acuity and his age. It was a constant, constant battle.
Speaker 2 But
Speaker 2 was there anybody that knew that should have spoken out? I mean, in the press or anything? I mean, it's one thing to...
Speaker 2 It's one thing to speculate. It's one thing to, I hear rumors,
Speaker 2 and if you're shut off from it. But, you in the White House, it seems like there were quite a few people that knew this is a disaster.
Speaker 8 Yeah.
Speaker 2 Who's running the country at that point? Who was the president?
Speaker 8
This close set of advisors kept him really close. And that's why I think you didn't see him as much.
Right now, President Trump is out there talking to reporters every day.
Speaker 8 I think the press corps wanted to see Biden do some similar things and take a similar media approach, and he did not.
Speaker 8 And we detail in the book,
Speaker 8 there's a fundraiser where someone says that he looks like he's going to die at the fundraiser. There are other moments where
Speaker 8 we take you inside Phil Murphy's house and we detail how he's speaking to just
Speaker 8
a couple dozen fundraisers at a small house and he needs fluorescent tape on the floor to guide him him from place to place. He needs a teleprompter.
You know, these aren't common things for a
Speaker 2 house. At a house?
Speaker 8 Yes.
Speaker 8
And, you know, makeup, when he, this is this was another revelation in our book. Whenever he traveled overseas, he was met with a makeup artist.
That was his first order of business. Sometimes
Speaker 8 he missed meetings because the makeup artist was there to touch him up.
Speaker 8 They were clearly concerned about the optics around his age and around his mental acuity.
Speaker 2 You write at one point that the makeup artist, he goes in, he sits down for the makeup, and then he calls it a day. And that was it.
Speaker 8
Yeah, yeah. And, you know, these are AIDS that were talking to us about this.
Obviously, they knew about it. And they said at times he looked really frazzled.
Speaker 8 He would get out of the limousine and would look around and wouldn't know where he was.
Speaker 8 And so, yeah, it's very startling, even to the people who were telling us these stories.
Speaker 2 But, you know, it's one thing to be
Speaker 2 it's one thing to go, yeah, that was really weird. And I, because it's another to realize that is the man that has to make the decision,
Speaker 2 you know, for the country, God forbid, we're attacked or whatever.
Speaker 2 And he's not there.
Speaker 2
Was there anyone inside fighting and saying, we have got to alert the American people. We have to invoke the 25th Amendment.
It's 25th, isn't it, Sue?
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 2
We've got to invoke the 25th Amendment. This isn't right.
The people
Speaker 2
have put their power in this man. He is no longer capable of making these decisions.
I think a lot of people would have had respect for that.
Speaker 2 Instead, I walk away going, was there no one that cared about the Constitution and cared about what could have happened with this guy in charge?
Speaker 8 No, and I think that's why you're seeing so much fire aimed at his close set of advisors right now because they could have been more candid. And
Speaker 8 Democrats in general, I think, were confused as to his cognitive abilities. I think the reason he wanted to do this debate and his advisors wanted to do this debate earlier,
Speaker 8 this disastrous one in June last year, is because they wanted, they knew that he was losing the polls, obviously. They wanted to change the trajectory of this race.
Speaker 8 And they thought that that was a moment that could help him.
Speaker 8 Instead, it brought out, you know, it showed
Speaker 8 on display everything for the American public.
Speaker 2 So I honestly thought for the longest time that they did that knowing somebody was like, no, let's put him on the stage and let's do it now before, you know, things get completely out of hand and he's going to be running for reelection.
Speaker 2 I really thought they put him on stage that early because I've never seen that happen before in American politics.
Speaker 2 Put him on stage that early so he would be exposed and everybody would be like, okay, we can't run him for no, and what's fascinating, Glenn, is that we take you inside.
Speaker 8
I mean, we open the book inside Nancy Pelosi's living room and she's watching the debate alone. She had warned President Biden at the time.
She said, oh, you don't want to debate Trump.
Speaker 8 And she, you know, mentioned it under the guise of, oh, why would you belittle yourself and appear on stage with him? But she knows.
Speaker 8 And Jim Clyburn, who's also watching the debate alone in his living room, and we take you inside there, he's having a drink and watching it. They're all alone.
Speaker 8 They're not at some debate watch party together because they almost know what is about to happen. They are watching the train wreck unfold bit by bit
Speaker 8 and alone.
Speaker 2 So, what do we do to ensure this? Well, let me ask you before I ask you that, again, try
Speaker 2 again.
Speaker 2 Who is running the country?
Speaker 8
That's a very good question. I think, you know, obviously his close set of advisors had a great, big role in that.
You see Ron Clain these days sort of trying to distance himself.
Speaker 8 He was the former chief of staff trying to distance himself from the optics of what was happening.
Speaker 2
But it's really not optics. It is the truth.
Somebody was making decisions because the president could. You know,
Speaker 2 I was always fascinated in history by woodrow wilson edith wilson ran the white house for a while but it was his own party that came in because it was the same thing people like rumors and they're like i don't think he's really there uh and he wasn't seen for a long time and so the leadership of the party came finally forced the first lady uh and said because she was saying he's going to run for a third term and they said no no or we'll expose all of this right now he's not running for another term
Speaker 2 You know, but it seems to be the same thing.
Speaker 2 I'm wondering how many presidents have we had that, you know, nobody seems to really care that the elected official isn't actually doing what that official is supposed to do.
Speaker 2 They're just some unelected people just making the decisions.
Speaker 8 Yeah, and the fact of the matter is, Glenn, I mean, you see the former president has all but disappeared from public view since leaving office. And I think that also speaks volumes
Speaker 8 about his state of mind.
Speaker 2 Was Kamala
Speaker 2 that in the note, which, I mean, if God forbid something would have happened,
Speaker 2 who would have grabbed the football? Who would have been the one?
Speaker 8 It would have been Kamala Harris. And that's sort of why, I mean, you teased this earlier, but her communications director would carry around this spreadsheet of Republican judges
Speaker 8 because he felt almost that like she had to be validated in that moment and only a Republican judge could really swear her in and have that validation from Republicans.
Speaker 8 He thought that there was no way that
Speaker 8 such a divisive country
Speaker 8
and people would support her. And so we detail how he came into that role with this spreadsheet.
He traveled with it. The DNC had plans in case
Speaker 8 something happened to the president. And we expose all of this for the first time in this book.
Speaker 2 And can you find any? Because
Speaker 2 I'm a self-taught
Speaker 2
historian, but I'm pretty good at it. I've never seen anything like this in American history.
Have you?
Speaker 8
It's pretty remarkable. It's really unprecedented.
And it was really interesting to report out.
Speaker 8 I think people have questions about the media and how we went about reporting this. And it's...
Speaker 8 It's almost like the president needed to leave office for people to actually admit what was happening and tell us some stories. That's what's interesting.
Speaker 8 I think, you know, when you cover a president, they're always worried that the White House is going to come down hard on them.
Speaker 8 And so they're less prone to want to tell you things. And then when they leave office, this is when the floodgates open up.
Speaker 2 Is anybody going to be held accountable for this?
Speaker 8 I mean, I think right now the party, that's why you're seeing the Democratic Party scrambling.
Speaker 8 I think, first of all, they need to come out and admit what had happened here and almost look themselves in the mirror and talk about Joe Biden.
Speaker 8 The other day, Jake Tapper asks Tim Walls about it, and Tim Walls kind of just
Speaker 8 glances around the question. I think they need to be very frank about what was happening and what they were witnessing, and
Speaker 8 they don't want to do that right now.
Speaker 2
You know, it's interesting to me. I just told this story on the air because people are kicking around Donald Trump wants to run for a third term.
No, no, that's against the Constitution, and
Speaker 2 that was put there for a very
Speaker 2
clear reason. And it wasn't put in there by the Republicans.
It was put in by the Democrats, FDR's own party, when they saw what had happened to the presidency. It just gained far too much power.
Speaker 2 And it's not good for anybody when that happens.
Speaker 2 And, you know, here you have, as soon as FDR died, that's when all of the Democrats were like, okay, okay, we got to make sure that doesn't happen again. But they were for him when he was alive.
Speaker 2 It seems seems to be kind of the same thing here that everybody was like,
Speaker 2 okay, it's cool.
Speaker 2 But is anybody going to step up now and say this cannot happen ever again?
Speaker 8
I think that's what has to happen, Glenn. Someone has to take responsibility for it.
And no one is. And I'm curious to see how the Democrats reckon with this.
Speaker 2 Amy, thank you very much. I'm glad somebody finally told the story and got the story.
Speaker 2
It is, if we don't fix this, it's just going to happen again. It'll happen with the other party.
I mean, it just, it will. I mean, you give people in power an inch, they are going to take a mile.
Speaker 2
And this cannot happen. This just cannot happen again.
Amy, thank you so much.
Speaker 8 Thank you, Glenn. You bet.
Speaker 2 Amy Parnes, fight inside the wildest battle for the White House.
Speaker 2
All right, let me talk to you a little bit about Simply Safe. When it comes to protecting your home, seconds matter.
Break-ins don't start with
Speaker 2 loud alarms. They start with a window left unlocked, a back door eased open while you're at work, somebody lingering in just a little too long outside of your house.
Speaker 2 And by the time you realize something's wrong, it could already be too late. Simply Safe is designed to catch those moments before they become an emergency.
Speaker 2 Their state-of-the-art system gives you the eyes on every door, every window, inside and out, motion sensors, cameras, glass break detectors.
Speaker 2 All of these things are backed by a 24-7 professional monitoring from a U.S.-based team that can act fast in a crisis, alerting the police and even talking to the criminal.
Speaker 2 You know, police don't respond in most cities now to burglar alarms because they go off all the time.
Speaker 2 You actually have to call them and say, no, I'm the homeowner, I'm whoever, and it is happening. That's why having SimplySafe is so important because they're monitoring it.
Speaker 2
And if an alarm goes off, they can see if it's right and they call police. So police will actually come.

Speaker 2 Claim 50% off a new system with professional monitoring plan and get your first month free it's simply safe.com slash back simply safe.com slash back there is no safe like simply safe ten seconds station id
Speaker 2 what'd you think of that Stu
Speaker 2 um I thought it was very interesting.
Speaker 1 I I
Speaker 1 I'm on the record multiple times saying I think this is a massive scandal, and I think Republicans have not paid enough attention to it since the Trump administration started.
Speaker 1
I know they're doing a lot of stuff. I know they're really busy, but there should be a House committee going after this for accountability reasons.
So exactly what you said doesn't happen again.
Speaker 1 Do you want that to happen?
Speaker 2 Do you want if Donald Trump, God forbid, you know, you know, had a stroke or whatever, that's what happened to Woodrow Wilson. Had a stroke.
Speaker 2 Would you want that to happen and you not know about it and just, you know, the people around him were running the White House? Because, yeah, you trust them. No,
Speaker 2 no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2
The person we elect must be the person in charge. And if they can't handle it, that's what the 25th Amendment is for.
You go and, you know, the,
Speaker 2 we didn't have this for a long time.
Speaker 2 And it was after Kennedy, wasn't it? Or is it FDR? I think it was Kennedy. If something happens, the vice president has the responsibility to step up.
Speaker 2 I mean, the one that should be really held responsible is Kamala Harris. She knew
Speaker 2 she should have gone to the cabinet because it's the vice president only that can make this call. The vice president has to go to the cabinet, or the cabinet comes to the vice president and says, Mr.
Speaker 2
or Mrs. Vice President, this is what's happening.
Or she goes and says, cabinet members, the president is clearly not present
Speaker 2 and it can't last. I ask that you would invoke the 25th Amendment.
Speaker 1 Yeah, and that's the constitutional remedy.
Speaker 1 I think it's the appropriate one.
Speaker 2
And it's important that the other party can't invoke the 25th Amendment. Only the vice president and the cabinet.
The cabinet.
Speaker 2 If they're all in for power and they're not there to protect the Constitution, if they're like, I don't care how we get the power.
Speaker 1 If they don't care, yeah, interestingly, though, this would have empowered the cabinet and empowered
Speaker 1 Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 I think, even short of that, which is an extreme measure, it's never been
Speaker 1 successfully
Speaker 2 done. It's never been invoked, I don't think, ever.
Speaker 1 That's what I mean. It's never been, you know, never, no one's ever gotten to the point where they successfully got it over the finish line, although it's been talked about many times.
Speaker 1 Just
Speaker 1 going to the media, right? Like,
Speaker 2 talking about it publicly.
Speaker 1 Not only that, they tried to get him re-elected until he got in front of the American people. The American people were like, whoa, what is going on? This is really happening.
Speaker 1 This isn't just some, you know, Glenn Beck fever dream that this guy...
Speaker 1
No, it wasn't. As soon as they saw it, the whole thing changed.
But that could have happened so much earlier. And frankly, it would have helped the Democrats if it did.
Speaker 1 If in 2022 this happened and Kamala Harris came to the media and said, you know, look, you know, this would have have gone in multiple levels of leaks before this point.
Speaker 1
But Kamala Harris goes to the media and says, look, Joe Biden's a great man. He's doing great things.
He's doing everything he can. But, you know, unfortunately, you know, Age always wins.
Speaker 1
And, you know, we were in a difficult situation. It's time for him to step down.
He would do it. She would have been president for a couple of years and may have won reelection.
Speaker 2 May have won.
Speaker 1 Who knows? I mean, it was.
Speaker 1 pathetic at every single level, but it was also misleading the American people in a way that is absolutely unconstitutional and wrong and needs we need to have a remedy for it.
Speaker 2 Can't use misleading. That's a harsh, terrible lies.

Speaker 2 So the
Speaker 2 amazing.
Speaker 2 The doctor that, you know, was Joe Biden's doctor said said
Speaker 2 everything was great. He was fabulous.
Speaker 1 Was it Dr. Nick from The Simpsons?
Speaker 2
I think it was. I think it was.
I'm starting to wonder. Kevin O'Connor,
Speaker 2 they are now saying that he is going to be grilled by the Republicans
Speaker 2 who are now investigating the cognitive decline.
Speaker 2
Ronnie Jackson from Texas said he's absolutely positively will be implicated in the cover-up of all of this. He's a massive, massive part.
Remember, it was
Speaker 2 right after
Speaker 2
the debate, right after the resignation that he was like, no, he's good. He's all good.
Remember when they had the guy from,
Speaker 2 what was he? Was
Speaker 2 it an Alzheimer's guy? He was.
Speaker 2 I remember this controversy. Parkinson.
Speaker 1 Yeah, it was someone who visited.
Speaker 2
Yeah. And they were like, no, he was just, he was upstairs.
He actually, he's a Fuller Brush salesman. He had a why?
Speaker 2 And they were like, no, he's not being
Speaker 2 Parkinson's. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 Yeah,
Speaker 2 he's going to be called in as well.
Speaker 1 I do think that it's interesting.
Speaker 1 The type of accountability and massive scandal we're talking about here, a big part of that process
Speaker 1
are journalists actually doing their job. Amy Parnes, one of them, actually doing her job.
We hope
Speaker 2 I'm going to give her a pass,
Speaker 2 you know, and I appreciate coming out with it now.
Speaker 2 And I give them a pass. I give everybody a pass because I don't know who knew what, but
Speaker 2 there were those that were close enough that had to have known.
Speaker 2 And why they didn't say anything is most likely because they would have been ostracized into pariah and they probably would have lost their job and everything else.
Speaker 2 But there are things worth standing up for.
Speaker 5 I think, though, she kind of
Speaker 2 accusing her of no, totally.
Speaker 2 I know you're not.
Speaker 1 I think, you know, she outlined, I think, the issue with that at the time for some people is that nobody wants to talk when you're still in power and you are.
Speaker 1 A lot of this is, you know, it's a lot of CYA going on, too, with these people. It's important to understand.
Speaker 2
I tried to get this out of her, and I don't think she really understood the question. Or maybe we just look at it from such different things.
Sure. Is there no honor?
Speaker 2 Was there not one person in the Biden White House?
Speaker 2 No, come on. I mean, not one person that said
Speaker 2 this is not right.
Speaker 1 I mean, very few.
Speaker 5 Would you work for Joe Biden?
Speaker 2 No, I wouldn't. But I mean, then how do you then how do Democrats,
Speaker 1 however you're going to finish that sentence, you know the answer to it. Right.
Speaker 1 Yeah, they can't. They can't.
Speaker 1
I do think, though, you're right. There probably were some people.
And look, we did get some stuff that leaked out. It was just not frequent enough.
Speaker 1 And we complained at the time that, hey, where were these stories at the time?
Speaker 1 They did a lot. I mean, think about this, Glenn.
Speaker 5 They didn't meet with
Speaker 1 anyone in the House for years.
Speaker 1 Just that should have come out a lot earlier than it did.
Speaker 2
Woodra Wilson didn't meet with anybody from the House. for like nine months.
Yeah. And the House went nuts.
The Democrats went crazy.
Speaker 1 Nuts.
Speaker 1 What's going on? Yeah. And I do think that that is the type of stuff.
Speaker 1 I don't know that we could have had all the detail that's going to be in this book or some of the others that are coming out because there's several that are coming out and addressing this.
Speaker 1 And I think what I'm trying, I guess I'm trying to say mostly is I think these books are important efforts.
Speaker 1
Even if they're not perfect, even if it's more delayed than we want, when it comes to accountability, it doesn't protect us for what happened to us. during the Biden presidency.
It has to be.
Speaker 1 But we have to get it repaired. You know, I feel the same way about,
Speaker 1 you know, COVID. Like,
Speaker 1 the fact that we don't have
Speaker 1 laws that say
Speaker 1 clear as day,
Speaker 1 even during a pandemic, when everyone's panicking,
Speaker 1 you don't close churches.
Speaker 1 Right?
Speaker 2 Like, just like, how is this? We do have that law. It's called the First Amendment.
Speaker 2 The First Amendment.
Speaker 1
But I'm saying an extra clarifying measure. All of those things that we all now kind of say, God, that was nuts.
Those things need to be codified and they haven't been.
Speaker 2 Right. And I don't think ⁇ and nobody's paid a price.
Speaker 2 Who has paid a price for the millions of people? You know what kills me?
Speaker 1 We argue, you know, there's a political price that was paid in the 2024 election.
Speaker 2
Yeah, that's nothing. That is nothing compared to millions of people died.
Millions of people died. Millions of people lost their jobs, their livelihoods,
Speaker 2 lost their children, lost their grandparents or their parents without being able to say goodbye. I mean,
Speaker 2 the list of those injured is non-ending.
Speaker 1 And I almost feel like it's so big people don't want to deal with it, which I get at some level from a human perspective, but that's why you have a justice system, right?
Speaker 1
That's that doesn't care about the human perspective, right? It punishes... people not based on anger or fear, but based on facts.
That's how it's supposed to work.
Speaker 1 And these things, you know, there's been some efforts on the COVID thing, you know, mostly unsuccessful. There have been some of those books written that really go through all of this.
Speaker 1 But, you know, I don't think we, COVID was obvious, I think, that people disagreed about what the punishment should be, who was responsible, but I think everyone knew something went very wrong there.
Speaker 1 I feel like we're not.
Speaker 2 I'm not sure people still that everybody, I will bet you a lot of people in California, they don't think any of that. They think that went wonderfully.
Speaker 1 They went swimmingly. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Or they complain about the first few months under Trump and then nothing after that. Yeah.
I mean, I look, there's still people walking around every once in a while.
Speaker 1 I see one in a mask and I'm like, gosh, this is still happening to all of us.
Speaker 2
You know, I want to stop them and say, get help. Yeah.
I mean, sincerely, not
Speaker 2
in something way. Yeah.
Just please get help.
Speaker 2 You are living in a fantasy world right now.
Speaker 2 And, you know, if you have a compromised immune system or whatever, or you're just Chinese, or is it Japanese that always wear the masks, or Michael Jackson? You know, well, he should get help too.
Speaker 2
But anyway, get help. This is a serious mental issue.
If you can't, at this point, go and look at the facts.
Speaker 2
But is anybody really talking about them? I mean, you know, there's not, there's, there's no big breakthrough. Here's another story.
It's from the Daily Caller.
Speaker 2 Hunter Biden asked embassy for help with Burisma's difficulties
Speaker 2 while Joe Biden was vice president. They've unearthed letters.
Speaker 2 Oh, they unearthed them, did they?
Speaker 2 They were probably sitting on somebody's desk when the Trump administration came in, probably framed on a wall going, yeah, look what I got.
Speaker 2 They didn't unearth them. We've known this stuff.
Speaker 2 And now it's coming out and all of it comes out in dribs and drabs and nobody cares.
Speaker 2 Look at the precedent that just this last administration just set.
Speaker 2 You could take take money for your family, millions from enemies of our country, enemies, and get away with it. You can do a massive cover-up.
Speaker 2 You can throw people under the bus like crazy, let them go to jail for things that are absolutely your fault.
Speaker 2 You can lie about
Speaker 2
somebody's health. And it's the president of the United States.
You can do that, apparently, and not pay any price.
Speaker 2 Look at what we've set up, the precedent.
Speaker 2 If these things are not corrected,
Speaker 2 that's why, you know,
Speaker 2 I'm going to Washington in a couple of weeks to do the
Speaker 2
100 days. And I had to narrow it down to a couple of people.
And one of them that I really want to talk to is Pam Bondi.
Speaker 2 I really want to know, Pam, these things have to be corrected. Where are we? Where are we on these things?
Speaker 2 This is not revenge. This is make sure it never happens again.
Speaker 2 You know,
Speaker 2 it was Woodrow Wilson's own party that said no.
Speaker 2 FDR, after he was there, it was his own party that said, never again.
Speaker 1
It feels like we've lost that, though. We have.
That instinct
Speaker 1 is gone. And I have to go.
Speaker 2 And it has to happen in both parties.
Speaker 1 I was going to say, I think it's on both sides on that one.
Speaker 1
There's a lot that I can point out. I think it's on both sides.
I don't don't think that there's a lot of interest anymore in holding your own side accountable, at least at some level.
Speaker 1 I mean, I think, you know, look, our audience is hearing complaints about Republicans every single day. I think, generally speaking, in the human, the human being, the American people still have that.
Speaker 1 But the politicians, I don't know where they are, honestly. Right.
Speaker 2 And I'm not sure all of the people do because they have, it's been a, I mean, it's practically a CIA op on the American people.
Speaker 2 The way these parties have fought and the way they have pushed people into, you know, opposite corners, mostly on lies,
Speaker 2
it's been an op. It puts you into your lizard brain and then you just can't think straight anymore.
It's fight or flight. And so,
Speaker 2 you know,
Speaker 2
they're not able to think anymore. They're just not able to think.
Why do you think that this Tesla stuff is going on in the streets?
Speaker 2
It has very little to do with Elon Musk and really hurting him. It has a lot to do.
Keep people in their lizard brain. Do not let them get comfortable with this.
Speaker 2 Because once you're out of your lizard brain, once you are like, okay, all right, I'm so tired of this, you start to think.
Speaker 2
And that politicians can't have you thinking. That should tell you an awful lot, shouldn't it? All right, back in just a second.
Patriot Mobile, how well do you really know your cell phone company?
Speaker 2 I mean, you pay them every month, but you know, if you ever checked out to find out what they stand for, it's kind of like cell phone companies are a little like hookers. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2
I don't really want to ask any questions, you know, just pay them. All right.
If that's the way you want to be, then, you know, stay with the big three.
Speaker 2 But who do they donate to? Who do they lobby for? Who have they been sleeping with? You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 Some of these companies, the big ones you've heard of, are using your money to push policies and causes that you are in direct opposition.
Speaker 2 Planned Parenthood, do you want your money, any of your money, a penny of your money, going to kill babies?
Speaker 2 Not me.
Speaker 2 Well, if you're with Verizon, congratulations, you're doing that most likely without your knowledge. You don't have to fund those things.

Speaker 2 The media is peddling slop these days.
Speaker 2 Better stay sharp, or
Speaker 2
you might end up taking it on the chin. Well, that's just nasty.
Glenn Beck is back in a sec.
Speaker 2 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. There's just just a delightful story that is coming out of Ohio.
Speaker 2 A high school teacher is accused of attempting to hire a student to murder her soon-to-be ex-husband.
Speaker 2
But apparently the mom found out about the murder for hire plot because she was snooping through her son's phone. Good for you, mom, and alerted police.
And he was, you know, her son was like...
Speaker 2 Saying to the teacher, isn't somebody going to hear gunfire? Aren't the neighbors going to hear the gunshots?
Speaker 2
No, I don't care about the neighbors. Oh, okay.
This woman is absolutely insane. She has been terrorizing her own children and her soon-to-be ex-husband.
Speaker 2 She's been charged with first-degree felony, conspiracy to commit murder.
Speaker 2 But, you know, she was
Speaker 2
right there. She still had, she was still at her teaching.
She was able to do teaching. So that's...
Speaker 2
That's good. Don't know where the unions stand on that, but the Academy for Urban Scholars High School said she's no longer employed.
I love this.
Speaker 2
As soon as we became aware of the situation, we immediately took action to terminate her employment. Now, that's the way it should be answered, right? Oh, we can't comment on ongoing investment.
No.
Speaker 2
Are you kidding me? As soon as we found out, her ass was out on the street. She was nuts.
That's the way it should be handled. Maybe it's just me.
Maybe it's just me. You think? Yeah.
Speaker 1 I like that approach.
Speaker 1
Can I give you one more clip here before we go? Sure. This is a fun one, and she's my favorite.
I have a new favorite in the whole world. Oh, yeah.
And her name is Jasmine Crockett. Love her.
Speaker 2
You need to say her full name. Jasmine Crockett for president.
Yes.
Speaker 1
I don't know any year. I just want her running.
I want more of her.
Speaker 1 Here she is describing the illegal immigration problem, apparently from the Democratic position.
Speaker 13 So I had to go around the country and educate people about
Speaker 13 what immigrants do for this country or the fact that we are a country of immigrants.
Speaker 13 The fact is, ain't none of y'all trying to go and farm right now.
Speaker 13 Okay, so I'm lying.
Speaker 13 Raise your hands.
Speaker 13 You're not.
Speaker 13 You're not.
Speaker 13 We done picking cotton.
Speaker 2 Oh.
Speaker 13 We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation.
Speaker 1 Oh, so we're bringing in the immigrants to pick the cotton? So you're arguing on behalf of slavery?
Speaker 2 Is that how you hit it? I'm sorry.
Speaker 2
This is what I said, what, three weeks ago in a monologue. I'm like, this is what they're in effect saying.
No, now she is actually saying it.
Speaker 1 With her trademark sass.
Speaker 1
Yes, she's going to sass you. I love it.
It's so fake and transparent. I love it.
I cannot get enough of this nonsense with her. It's so good.
It is so good.
Speaker 1 And the idea that Jasmine Crockett would go around the country and educate anyone is so hilarious on its face. I just, why can't we, why can't she be on television all the time talking?
Speaker 2 I want it all the time.
Speaker 1
I want her to represent, and she does, every viewpoint. I want her to be the face of the Democratic Party.
I want all of her viewpoints to be the face of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 I want her explaining every policy position they have. She's fantastic.
Speaker 2
I think they're going to have a problem with that. I'm looking for the report today.
It's in the show prep at Glenbeck.com.
Speaker 2 Where is the story about the polls of the people that the Democrats are like, yeah, we need this person to be president?
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah, I saw it at the end of one of these prep. I just was looking at it, one of these prep packets on all I got it for you.
Here we go. Here we go.
Speaker 1
Number one, this is who do we need right now? Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Number one, Kamala Harris, 19%. Oh, my God.
Two, Barack Obama, 17%.
Speaker 1 Corey Booker, I guess because he made a speech recently, 14. AOC, 8, Sanders, 8, Jeffries, 8, Schumer, 6.
Speaker 2
Crockett, only 3. Come on.
That needs to be 80.
Speaker 2 Corey,
Speaker 2 Corey Crockett.
Speaker 2
That's what we need to work on. That.
I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 God, I could not take it.
Speaker 2
We got to have her. We got to have her.
I mean, what a lineup that is.
Speaker 2 This is Glenn Beck.
