Hello, America.

You know we've been fighting every single day.

We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

But to keep this fight going, we need you.

Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

This isn't a podcast.

This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.

So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

Rate, review, share.

Together, we'll make a difference.

And thanks for standing with us.

Now let's get to work.

Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.

Stand your ground when times get tight.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glen Beck program.

Yeah, welcome to it.

It's Pat and Jeffy today for Glenn.

Feeling a little under the weather.

So we've got a full slate of stuff to tell you about and

talk over with you.

We'll do that triple 8727BECK if you'd like to participate.

More on that coming up in one minute.

But because of you, Pre-Born has helped rescue over 38,000 babies this year alone.

Think about that.

Tens of thousands of children who got to take their first breath.

who now have a chance to grow up, to laugh, to dream, because you cared enough to act.

For just $28,

you can provide an ultrasound to a mother in crisis.

When she sees her baby on that screen, when she hears that heartbeat, she's twice as likely to choose life at that point.

And Pre-Born doesn't stop there.

They continue walking with her, providing practical help and emotional support long after the baby is born.

As abortion continues to rise, Pre-Born is expanding their life-affirming care in the darkest corners of our nation to help more hurting women and save more babies.

So, if you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to help save babies in a really big way?

Your tax-deductible donation of $15,000 would help place a machine in a needy women's center, saving countless lives for years to come.

So, if you can help in whatever way, maybe it's a dollar, maybe it's $15,000, whatever you can afford, dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, that's pound 250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash back.

That's preborn.com slash back.

Sponsored by Preborn.

All right.

Welcome.

So much

going on on this planet right now.

I thought we'd start with something kind of fun.

You know, they newly redesigned,

they're actually building a ballroom now at the White House, which is kind of fun.

Trump has been traveling the world and seeing these mega ruler mansions of other countries.

And I think he feels like, man, I live in a dump.

Yeah.

Exactly.

A 52,000 square foot dump.

Unacceptable.

That cannot be.

That can't stand.

And it's not.

It's not standing.

So that's why we're building a 90,000 square foot ballroom.

But here's the thing.

And this is really amazing.

He is paying for it.

He, in part, I think he's going to get donors from, you know, maybe some rich friends, but that's incredible.

The tax dollars aren't going to it.

So, you know, even when you add the 90,000 to the 52, you still only got 140,000 square foot dump.

Yeah, I know.

It's still a dump.

It is.

It is legitimately a dump.

When you consider the fact that Buckingham Palace is something like 840,000 square feet.

I mean, the Saudi

place was, I mean, there's several places.

Then there's one in Brunei.

Brunei, I think, is the biggest.

2.1 million square feet of their palace.

I mean, we don't need that, but...

That's not the point.

That's not the point.

That's not the point, Pat.

This is America.

Thank you.

It's the greatest nation in the history of the world.

We have a builder as president of the United States of America.

We need a little addition.

So anyway, he fixed up the Rose Garden.

They put a little patio out there where people can go along.

I think she was involved.

Yeah.

Because

they got rid of all the

grass and everything, right?

So that's put in the concrete

with the new tables.

Yeah, but it looks nice.

Yeah, it's okay.

It would look nice.

They've got tables and umbrellas.

I don't know what I expected, but I expected better.

You expected solid gold tables, didn't you?

And the goldma umbrella could do.

I mean, what he's done to the Oval Office, you expect

might happen in the Rose Garden as well.

But he apparently didn't.

But

there is some fixing upping going on in the White House right now.

And so I don't have a problem with it as long as we're ⁇ I mean, we're not paying for it.

We're going to have to raise the flagpoles if he starts building upper deck additions to the White House, man.

Those flagpoles are not tall enough right now.

But those were actually really tastefully done, I thought.

They were.

People were complaining about it.

But yeah, and I like it.

But

can we do this?

Are we in an economic spot where it's okay to be doing this?

Well, especially since we're not paying for it, yes.

But the other thing is, Stephen Moore went through what's going on right now with the economy.

And this is pretty amazing.

I don't know if you've seen these economic numbers, but check this out from Stephen Moore.

25th percentile is the lowest income, 75th percentile is the highest income.

What I find fascinating about this, Mr.

President, is every income group did better.

The red is President Trump, the blue is President Biden.

Every single income group did better under President Trump.

But what's really amazing is look at what happened under Biden.

The lowest income group lost income under Biden.

They were poor four years after

Biden's presidency.

No gain virtually whatsoever for the middle class.

And the rich was the only group that did better under Biden, which is ironic because Biden keeps saying he was trying to get rid of income inequality.

He made income inequality worse, not better.

It was President Trump that reduced income inequality.

These numbers just came out, by the way.

And I'm finally.

And what else?

These are the numbers just in terms.

I just showed you in percentage terms.

Mr.

President, these are the numbers in dollar terms.

So even the lowest income, 25th percent, gained about $4,000 income.

That's a lot for a lower-income family, $6,400 for the middle class and almost $10,000 for the richest.

So you can see every income group did better under Trump than Biden by a wide margin.

Wow.

That's the story.

Well, that was the first term, right?

We didn't even get to the second term yet because I think those numbers

so far, what has been six, seven months, are even better, are up as well.

Yeah.

It's pretty amazing because that's what biden said he was all about was the little guy and right they didn't want to give tax cuts to the richest americans and they didn't deserve them and it's all about the little guy is it huh then how did the little guy lose money during your reign of terror how did that happen

they he hated oh man the the middle class

anyway so he absolutely he absolutely he hates Americans.

There you go.

Let's just sum it up with what it actually is.

President Trump also discussed

the meeting of

him with Vladimir Putin, which could be coming up as soon as next week.

And he addressed whether or not that might include Zelensky.

Does Putin have to meet with Zelensky in order and before you and Putin have to meet?

Are you hoping?

No.

Are you hoping?

That's actually important because

President Putin said this morning he was pretty dismissive of this idea of meeting with President Zelensky.

President Putin was.

I don't know.

I didn't hear.

If you want you to meet with him, he doesn't have to agree to meet with Zelensky.

Is that what you're saying?

No, he doesn't.

No?

No.

So, wouldn't you think that means that they would like to meet with me, and I'll do whatever I can to stop the killing.

So

last month, they lost 14,000 people killed last month.

Every week is 4,000 or

people.

So I don't like

long waits.

I think it's a shame.

And they're mostly soldiers.

They're Ukrainian and Russian soldiers.

And some people from the cities where missiles are lobbed in and you'll lose 35,

40 people a night, which is terrible.

But no, mostly it's soldiers.

And you're talking about,

on average, 20,000 a month.

20,000 people are dying a month.

Young, generally young people, soldiers.

Wow.

That's really sad.

Really, really sad.

And again, he seems to be the only one concerned about it.

As far as leaders on the world stage,

do you hear anybody talking about that ever?

He genuinely cares about the loss of life, and he wants to put a stop to it.

And so he'll meet with Putin with Zelensky or without Zelensky.

He just needs to get together with Putin because I think he

really believes that he can change Putin's mind.

You know, he's a great negotiator.

I would think so too.

And he has every confidence that he can fix this thing.

And I really do feel like he thought he would already have it done.

Oh, for sure.

He wanted that done.

And that's why

when

earlier in the day yesterday,

one of President Trump's new people said that they wouldn't do the meeting without

Vladimir, without Putin and Zelensky.

And then a little bit later on, that's when Donald Trump was like, yeah, no, I'll meet with them alone.

Right.

Yeah, no, I'll meet with them alone.

Because we need to make, this needs to happen.

Because he'll do whatever it takes.

This needs to happen.

The madness.

Yeah.

So if the madness doesn't stop, then you're going to continually.

It's over a million people.

But today's the day, right?

Today's the final day anyway that he gave for ending the war.

Without that, and I mean,

that's when, I guess, all the tariffs and secondary tariffs take effect.

So anybody that that does business with Russia gets, you know, tariffs on top of tariffs, I guess, how they're going to do it.

So, you know, okay.

All right.

Yeah.

And I think Putin is aware that Trump is really serious about the secondary tariffs that are going to happen to people if you don't get on board with the sanctions that we're going to

one of our strong allies, India.

He's already done that.

Yeah.

For

buying their oil.

Yeah.

He assessed another another 25% tariff on them, and that's amazing because I know we're pretty strong allies.

They're very, very friendly with President Trump, they love him, and so for him to

slap this 25% extra tariff on them is pretty amazing.

Now, maybe they say, hey, well, fine, we'll get our oil from you guys.

Yeah, no problem.

And so the 25%

slapped on it for the Russia, they can make that go away.

But hopefully, yeah, I hope that works out.

I'm not wanting to.

I don't want to have India against us.

No.

Yeah, it's the most popular.

They're one of the countries on the planet that have a lot of people.

You think 1.4 billion

is a lot?

Is that a lot?

They keep adding.

They keep adding more and more people every day.

It's incredible they passed China.

Isn't it?

Yeah, I think

all

every time now, I mean, are they passed it enough where they're looking back now?

Yeah, I think so.

Because for a while, it was back and forth, and they were, you know, really

one month it was China, then, you know, two months later it's India.

But if I, I think they were, we may be at the point now where they've actually just, they're looking behind them now.

We're the leader.

Yeah, and it got so bad in China that I think, didn't they remove their one child policy?

No, I think that was a while, quite some time ago.

So a while ago, they said, okay, no, you can, you can have more than one child.

Oh, yeah, I mean, all countries are hurting with their replacements.

There's no doubt about that.

I mean, we are struggling with that as well.

Japan is struggling with that.

Our replacement replacement rate is 2.1 children per family.

2.1.

We're at 1.5.

There you go.

Yeah.

Which is huge.

It doesn't sound six-tenths of a percent.

That's huge when it comes to per capita

and the fact that we're nowhere near where we need to be to replace ourselves.

Look, I did my part.

Me too.

I did my part.

So did I?

I mean, how many more than six can I do?

Well, Elon's

kind of impossible, but

14.

So

a little beyond.

So see, you could do more than that.

I guess I could.

I could do better.

I should be ashamed of myself.

All right.

Triple 8727 BECK.

We're coming up in one day.

You know, I believe in the right to protect myself, my family, and my home.

But what that might mean in the worst possible moment when you just have seconds to make a decision, and that decision could change your life forever,

that's why you need a Burna launcher.

It gives you options.

It's a powerful non-lethal defense tool that fires pepper projectiles incapacitating a threat from up to 60 feet away without taking a life.

It's legal in all 50 states.

It doesn't require a permit anywhere.

And it gives you the confidence to know that if trouble ever finds you, you're ready without having to carry the weight of something that you might regret.

So there's just peace of mind that comes with knowing that you're prepared and that there's an even greater peace in knowing that your preparation doesn't have to cost someone else everything.

The Burna launcher isn't just about defense, it's about choosing a way forward that's responsible, effective, and that's right for you.

Go to burna.com, B-Y-R-N-A, Burna.com/slash Glenn to learn more.

That's burna.com/slash Glenn.

Go there now or try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse near you.

10 seconds, station ID.

I think Glenn and

Stu had this woman on a few days ago who's bypassing Hamas.

Speaking of wars right now that need to end.

Yeah.

She is getting

food to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

And in order to do that, you have to bypass Hamas because they're stealing it all.

Yeah.

I mean, we heard Mike Johnson tell us a couple weeks ago, two or three weeks ago, that 94,000 truckloads of food from Israel into the Gaza had been taken.

That is

an incredible number.

94,000.

No wonder.

You're right.

There's some problems with

food in the area, but the rest of the world is trying to blame that on Israel, and they're not the ones responsible for it.

And this lady is doing something about it.

Yes, she is.

She found some alternate routes around where Hamas is located so that she could get food to the northern part of the Gaza Strip and actually feed starving Gazans.

It's an incredible story.

She's 30.

She's from eastern Jerusalem.

Her name is Sarah Awada, and she's received almost no media attention at all

for her aid initiative.

And she's fed over 100,000 Gazan families.

So she partners with MENA Aid.

It's a regional partner coalition operating under the Multi-Faith Alliance in cooperation with Israeli authorities.

Wait, what?

Wait, the Israeli authorities are helping you get food to the Gazans?

Amazing.

Huh.

What?

So her team built a system that moved hundreds of trucks of food and supplies into Gaza that bypassed Hamas and private contractors who were turning hunger into a business for themselves.

So they confiscate the loads and then they try to sell that money.

So in June, she decided to

scale up the distribution in the area at a time when no one was able to get anything into Gaza because of looting and chaos, multiple layers of obstruction on the ground.

And so she mapped out these alternate routes.

And she's been working with trusted logistics partners, many of whom were Israelis, she says, and got the food to the people who were starving and needed it most.

So

pretty amazing what she's doing.

And of course, because she's doing this, she's gotten all kinds of death threats

from the Hamas holes

who don't want the food to get to their own people.

I mean, I...

I don't know how the rest of the world

has not condemned Hamas for the way that they've conducted themselves and the fact that they're starving their own people.

And

there's never been, do you know that the UN

has passed 154 resolutions against Israel since I think it was 2017.

Just 145.

Just 154, though, condemnations of Israel and what they're doing.

And the number with Hamas or the Palestinian Authority or anybody in

in any position of authority with the Palestinians, that number is

bring down the one and carry the two.

None.

Zero.

Yeah, none.

Unbelievable.

So this is what the Israelis have to deal with.

And

I don't understand how they, you know, this, none of this news ever gets out to people.

And so

just spread this well-kept secret to people as much as you possibly can and help spread this news.

There's an author, podcaster, Coleman Hughes, who talked about Hamas and what their goal is.

Their goal right now is to increase the suffering of the Palestinians because then they can blame it all on Israel.

And they think that's to their advantage.

So that's why you've seen the images of emaciated Gazan children

and you know now who's responsible for it.

It's Hamas, and they're only too happy to make this happen and then tell the world, it's Israel.

See, they're stealing all of our food, and we can't get the food to our people.

So what happens?

I mean, Netanyahu has said, right, he's going to take over Gaza, and he's going to get rid of the Hamas

friends,

the Hamas holes, or whatever you want to call them.

I do want to call them that.

And then they're going to do securities to keep the other Gazans safe.

I mean,

that's his

favorite.

I guess so.

Yeah.

I guess so.

Okay.

I mean, okay.

I mean, if it stops the war, good.

And if it gets the...

It's unbelievable that we have not gotten all the hostages back.

That is incredible to me.

And we hear almost nothing about him anymore.

I know.

The only reason we've heard about him lately is because of the Hamas propaganda.

I i don't know how they thought that was going to be to their advantage but they've shown us the starving hostages what are we doing incredible yeah it's it's unbelievable all right triple eight seven two seven be ck more coming up

this is glenn beck

on september 11th 2001 a young firefighter named stephen siller ran through the Brooklyn battery tunnel in full gear to get to the Twin Towers and help save lives.

Well, he never made it home.

But the promise that came out of his sacrifice has been echoing ever since.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation was built on that promise to honor our heroes by taking care of their families.

That means providing mortgage-free homes to the spouses and children of fallen first responders and military service members.

It means building specifically and specially adapted smart homes for our most severely injured veterans, giving them back independence and dignity.

And that means standing with those who run toward danger long after the headlines have faded.

Every gift to Tunnel to Towers is a piece of that promise.

It's a way of saying to the men and women who risk everything for us: we will not forget you.

We will not leave you behind.

We'll see this through.

Never forget the sacrifices of our country's greatest heroes.

Donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at t2t.org.

That's t, the number two t.org.

Big changes ahead, transforming history and how we learn about it.

Keep track at Glennbeck.com.

It's Pat Gray, Jeff Fisher, for Glenn Today,

triple 8-727-BECK.

We're just

talking a bit about the UN and their resolutions against Israel and what a worthless, stinking organization the UN is.

Why?

They're still here in the United States.

Leave.

How many times have we said that?

Get the U.N.

out of the U.S.

So earlier this week, I see a headline that says the United Nations are going to relocate from New York to Nairobi, Kenya.

And I'm thinking,

okay, that can't be real.

Right.

My first reaction would have been my thoughts.

That's not real.

After I said, good.

Then you're like, wait, that's too good to be true.

That's too good to be true.

Well, so now we find out that

they were going to move their headquarters of UNICEF, UN Women, and UNFPA from New York to Nairobi

as by next year.

Do you know what UNFPA is?

I do not.

Female People Association.

Not so female people associate.

I don't know what it is.

Obviously,

it's not the Female

That's going to be at Nairobi.

And they're talking about because they believe that it will cut costs and bring services closer to the people, shift the power to global Nairobi.

So that would mean that they would be in

Nairobi, New York, Geneva, Vienna, multiple headquarters.

Well, I mean, we can cut New York out of that, no problem.

Well, then

I see an interview with some dingleberry from the UN that says, well, it's not a sure thing yet.

They haven't 100%

decided on that yet.

So that might even happen.

We might even get rid of some of them.

Dang it.

I mean, come on.

Yeah.

Can't we just,

I don't know, just back up the moving trucks and get them out of here.

It's not that hard.

Help them.

Yeah.

I'd be surprised if they moved the whole operation to Nairobi, though.

I would expect, you know, Brussels, Belgium, you know, well, yeah, that's what they said.

I mean, they're already in

Vienna.

They're in

Vienna.

That's it.

Yeah, Vienna, New York, and then they would be at Nairobi if they moved there.

So they still, I mean, they still have some space in Geneva.

So

Geneva and Vienna.

Just go there.

Get out.

Go there.

And that's

all the countries that love you.

I'm sure they want you.

All the countries that love it so much and

want to participate in it, they can be right there, really close to the headquarters.

You don't even have to fly across the ocean.

I mean, right there.

I'm just guessing there's probably some real estate available in Nairobi.

I'm sure.

That you could

spread out.

They're right about that.

Cheaper than New York.

Building is cheaper.

The workers,

all the

people you have to pay off to get buildings built, are probably a little bit cheaper.

Like all the people from the Female People Association.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

All right.

It's a very important.

Yeah, very important.

Critical

part they're doing.

Do it in Nairobi.

That would be great.

All right, you got a Fat Five going on here?

Yeah, sure.

We could talk about that.

Absolutely.

One of my favorite stories, and I'm kind of jealous of this guy,

Eveldis Remasakis from Lithuania.

I love him.

And others, various unnamed others, posed as computer and electronic hardware manufacturing company based in Taiwan called Quanta Computer.

This guy and his unnamed associates scammed Facebook and Google out of $122 million

between 2013 and 2015.

So Rimasakis sent invoice requests from Quanta Computer to Facebook and Google.

And by the way, they did zero work, work, right?

Correct.

It was all fake.

They just sent an invoice and said, hey, pay us this amount.

And Google paid them $23 million.

And Facebook paid them $99 million.

So Facebook gets a bill from some company that they haven't had any work done from.

That's correct.

And they just pay out $99 million.

That's correct.

And they wired the money to bank accounts in Latvia and Cyprus.

Oh, my God.

Let's paid it out.

Let's paid it out.

Oh, wow.

That's quite a scam.

That is quite a scam.

And so the banks kind of, they tried to, they've created fake documents because the bank was questioning this influx of cash, you know, where this money was coming from.

So they created fake documents that were supposed to have been signed by Google and Facebook management.

And they were, the bank's still kind of questionable, so they kind of red-flagged it.

And then our FBI and Justice Department got involved, which is how he got caught.

So it wasn't even Facebook that revolved.

No, they would have continued to pay it forever.

Google and Facebook would have continued to write the challenge.

It's the bank.

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

So if the bank hadn't said anything, it still would be going on today.

Being the clear.

So they brought him, I mean, they brought him over.

He was extradited from Lithuania, and they brought him to the States.

And, you know, I don't know why or who the other unnamed people are, but this is just the one guy that they got over.

And he pled guilty to one count of wire fraud and he this he pled guilty in 2019.

So he was sentenced to 60 months in prison for his criminal scheme and then two years supervised release.

Okay, so he's almost done with that now.

That was in 2019.

He was ordered by the court to forfeit $49.7 million and to pay reimbursement of $26.5 million.

But he gets to keep the rest.

I am not a mathematician, but that is not $122 million.

No, it isn't.

So that's like $45-ish million left over somewhere.

I would be willing to do seven years for $45 million.

Wow.

Yeah.

And actually, you do five years in prison and two years supervised release for $45 million at the other end?

Yeah, I'm in.

I mean, if you don't care about the criminality of it.

Wow.

That's kind of a brilliant scheme, isn't it?

Just bill a company.

That is.

$99 million.

The U.S.

Attorney is like, we'll catch you.

And, you know, this is just, we need to make sure you will be held accountable.

Okay.

Sounds like he got away with it for a few years anyway.

Wow.

Yeah, he had a couple years,

two or three years of big money, and then now at the other end, unless I don't know how much the unnamed sources took, but I mean, to my calculations, that's just at least a few million at the other end of seven years.

That's not bad.

Wow.

Wow.

I may help somebody out

at some point in my life.

It's pretty amazing, though, that Facebook would pay that kind of invoice.

And this is what they're doing.

And not even look into it.

And this is what our government does all the time as well.

Yeah, right.

You know, people have been.

But that's not a government.

No, that is not.

That's a private business that's not even looking over their funds.

It's $99, almost $100 million.

means nothing to you where you say, well, what work did you do?

Can somebody check into this?

This is a pretty big bill.

Jeez.

For two or three years, you're just paying this company millions of dollars.

Wow.

And

you're just assuming, the billing department, that the work is being done.

Did that company do any legitimate business?

No.

Wow.

That's incredible.

Had a cool name, though.

It sounded like they did legitimate business.

There was a company, that's what I was saying.

There was a company that was similar to what he was saying their name was that had done work for them in the past.

So that's what made them think that, oh, yeah, okay.

Wow, that's amazing.

I know.

I know

that's an awful lot of money

just to pay.

I mean, look, does

Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook Meta have the money?

Yes.

I mean, he just...

Who's the guy that he just hired for his super intelligence AI?

That he gave billions, right?

Didn't he give him a billion or something?

One guy, he offered $250 million for four years to come to the Super Intelligence Lab.

He accepted.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's a pretty good deal.

Yeah.

Moving up from wherever he was at before to getting paid $250 million for four years' work.

Not a bad gig.

No, it is.

If you can get it.

That's it.

So, I mean, yes, Mark has got the money, but it is remarkable that these companies would just pay millions out without

someone saying, hey, what are we getting from this?

Right.

Wow.

Incredible.

It is incredible.

It's amazing.

We talked a little bit

earlier about the new smoothie from Smoothie King and Heinz Ketchup.

I am a Heinz Ketchup police officer, so I mean, I'm well aware of some of the things that go wrong and go well with Heinz Ketchup.

You know, there are some people who didn't even know that Heinz Ketchup had police officers.

Well, I have one,

but I have a badge and everything.

So you've got proof of it.

Thank you.

I mean, there are some restaurants out there, Pat, and I will have them know they are on notice.

They will be taken down if they use Heinz ketchup bottles and put other types of ketchup in them.

Like fancy ketchup.

I don't care what's in those Heinz bottles, we will shut you down.

You will be held accountable.

Okay.

It's coming from an official ketchup police.

Thank you.

So anyway, I just was throwing that out there.

But Smoothie King and Heinz have partnered up for this ketchup-based smoothie.

That's gross.

And it just,

no, thank you.

You know,

you get the simply ketchup from Heinz.

You get strawberries, raspberries, apple juice, Sai Sorbet, and it creates a brand that they say is sweet and fruit smoothie with a bright, tangy ketchup finish.

No, thank you.

No, I do not like that.

But you can, hey, look, it's a limited time.

They say supplies are limited.

Okay.

All right.

Those of you listening,

Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Miami, parts of Greater New York and northern New Jersey, have at it.

It's all yours if you want to do it.

I find it difficult to believe that supplies are limited, but hey, okay.

Go ahead.

Good.

Good.

I'm not trying it.

No.

I'm not trying it.

We were unable to.

We couldn't get one here.

Yeah, we just got the strawberry smoothie, so we're just waiting for somebody to bring a bottle of ketchup.

And hopefully that doesn't happen because I don't want to try it at all.

You know, we talked about AI.

Las Vegas, the sphere,

has

a version of Wizard of Oz that is being done.

It's being souped up by a team of technicians and

AI to fit the giant screen.

And it begins at the end of this month at the sphere.

And a lot of people are wound up about it because they're saying that it's heavily modified,

cuts 30 minutes of run time by using AI to smooth over some of the transition scenes that are necessary.

And they're talking about it's just horrible.

They don't want to do it.

And it's just a cash grab.

Well, I saw a report,

and we don't have to play the video from CBS Morning News.

Then they did a whole like, I don't know, eight to 10 minute segment on it.

And the AI that they're using looks incredible, what they're doing with Wizard of Oz.

I mean, I want to see it.

I mean, not only are you getting the AI additions to the film, you're also going to be feeling the wind from the tornado and the winds from,

it's going to be incredible.

It's going to be almost like you're going down the yellow brick road yourself

at the sphere.

And I don't know, I kind of like it.

They said tickets are 100 plus.

I could not find one cheaper than 274

to get into the sphere.

So good luck if you can find one for that 100-plus price tag.

Good luck.

Because I think most of that is plus.

The cheapest one I saw was $274.

That'd be crazy.

That'd be great to see.

I'd love to see that.

I would too, because it really looks cool.

It's good.

The AI technology that they're using, they teamed up with the guy that heads the AI department at Google,

and he did some remarkable things.

All right, 888-727-BECK.

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today.

Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

Would you be willing to make a monthly donation to the Democrat Party?

No?

Really?

Because chances are pretty good your mobile company does.

Patriot Mobile, though, is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

And

they share the values that you have.

They're for your values, not against them.

They give you the same nationwide coverage everyone else does, using the same towers, but they put profits toward causes you believe in.

Pro-life organizations, first responder support, veterans, religious liberty.

They want you silent, obedient, and blind.

Well, shoot, here we are with open eyes and a bit of rebellious nature.

Hold the line, my friends.

Glenn Beck will be back in a minute.

All right.

We were talking about the ketchup thing before the break.

Sarah reminded us of something that might be even worse.

Yeah, well,

it doesn't sound great to me.

I don't know.

I mean, you like sweet and salty

products, right?

Yes, I do.

Yes, I do.

So Frida has partnered up with

the Oddfellow ice cream company, and they have created breast milk ice cream.

No, thank you.

So

it's inspired by breast milk.

It's not, you know, they don't have

to

human breast milk.

They don't have a row of women.

Okay.

All right.

Although, I mean,

that's weird.

So it's cow milk?

It's nutrients found in the real stuff, including the colostrum.

But

it gives you a sweet, salty, and smooth with hints of honey in their breast milk.

Well, there are people who will remind you: do you know that humans are the only species who drink another species' milk?

Yeah, because we're the only ones who can.

You think cows are going to do it?

You know what?

I want some human milk.

So let's do that.

Let's do that.

So you still have a couple days left for the special so I can get the breast milk ice cream.

Yeah, a couple days left for the special

sweeter and creamier and saltier, and it's just better, Pat.

It's just better.

That's weird.

I've never heard of that.

Just like your mom used to make

that's their tagline.

No, thank you.

No, that doesn't sound good.

This is Glenn Beck.

When a crisis hits, the last place you want to be is at the mercy of an empty pharmacy shelf.

This is

the Glen Beck Program.

Today with Pat Gray, Jeff Fisher, we're going to talk to Jason Petrola in a second here

on

AI situations.

So we'll get into that in a sec.

You know, your dog can't read a nutrition label.

He can't stand in the pet food aisle and say, hmm, you know what?

I'm concerned about my daily intake of vitamin E.

Don't you wish they could?

I wish they could.

Instead, he just eats what you put in his bowl, which means his health is in your hands.

That dry brown kibble, you're scooping out every day, it's been cooked at such a high temperature, most of the natural ingredients have just been burned out of it.

Rough greens isn't dog food.

It's a nutritional supplement you add on top, and dogs love it.

It's a nutritional supplement.

It's packed with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omega, and antioxidants to help your dog feel better, have more energy,

and even improve digestion and coat health.

I've seen what a difference real nutrition can make for a dog.

We are joined now by Jason Buttrell.

Jason, welcome.

Thank you, Pat.

How you doing, sir?

Good.

Good.

Anxious to hear about what's going on with the AI.

Yeah,

man, Glenn's been talking about this, I feel like, forever.

Long time.

A long time.

And most of us were just like, ah, boy.

You're right.

Same old, same old.

Now it's a little different, isn't it?

Because we've seen what's going on.

Oh, it's in our face every time.

Every time we turn around.

I use it all the time.

The progression.

I do too.

All the time.

And it's like, you still have to, you have to double check a lot of it still because there's still mistakes.

Weird stuff going on with it.

Yes.

But the way, I mean, just like, think about, I mean, you guys were there back when, like, at Fox when he was doing like the Tidest find foundation stuff and he keeps talking about like how he had to spend like a million dollars of his own money just in research like tracking some of this stuff down now you can do the same thing in like 30 seconds yeah if that it's if that it's incredible it is wild and what cracks me up about the progression really now is that you know remember like remember like movies not too long ago like there's that johnny depp one where they're like imagining how ai is gonna happen and they had to like it was like the theory was based off of getting a chimpanzee and taking its brain out, you know, and hooking it up to electrodes.

And then

that's how AI would be birthed.

Yeah.

We have chatbots.

That's what did it.

Yeah.

Chat bots.

I mean, we were already

have, you know, multiple television shows and movies, strictly AI.

No humans involved, except for, you know, a couple of people that are busy inputting data.

Yeah.

to make those movies.

I mean, it's a little scary.

Yeah.

A little scary for the humans.

What I'm interested in now is just like where we are now.

I think they're way ahead of where they thought they were going to be.

And they're all now in this race for AGI artificial general intelligence.

And then after that, supposedly super intelligence, which is godlike intelligence.

I mean, that's what Meta is.

I mean, Meta's, he started his big super intelligence lab.

I mean, we were just talking about the guy that he's paying, you know, $250 million for two or three years or four years of work.

Yeah.

Amazingly, he accepted the job.

But I mean,

that's what all Zuckerberg wants is the super intelligence.

Yeah, we've got super intelligence as well.

We just called it Jeffy.

Thank you.

I didn't want to say anything.

We developed this years ago.

I didn't want to say anything, but you're right.

Thank you.

Yeah, so Sam Altman over at OpenAI, he just released or said that GPT-5 is here and just kind of describing how powerful it is.

He said it's like having a handful of PhD-level intelligence intelligence or PhD level graduates in your pocket.

That's pretty cool.

PhD level.

And so basically it's way beyond.

Remember they were trying to, back in the day, they were trying to measure the intelligence of it.

And they're like, oh, well, it's like a junior high school kid.

Oh, and then it's like an, you know, a high schooler.

Now we're beyond

doctorates.

We're at doctors.

We're at doctorates.

We kind of skipped the DeVry level intelligence.

We skipped the, you know, the associate's degree, you know, intelligence and somehow went to PhD.

But now it's what we do with it, though, right?

I mean, really, we're at the point now, it's what we do with it.

I mean, I know we don't technically have super intelligence yet, although I find that difficult to believe with the progression that we've made.

But

now it's just a matter of what we, what countries do with it.

I mean, our military has got to be...

Got to be on the forefront of this.

Yeah, I think they are.

And I think that that is going to be one of the next steps.

Sam Altman over at OpenAI said that artificial general intelligence is that GPT-5 makes AGI just one step away.

So they're getting close.

So basically general intelligence, I think what they're looking for there is the ability for AI not to wait for our prompts and stuff and then figure this stuff out when we ask it, but just to constantly be learning.

How does a GPT compare to Grok 4?

Before, Grok 4, well, Grok 4, I thought, was leading the race.

Yeah, I thought so too.

And I saw that Elon Musk posted like a bunch of different metrics, and it had Grok 4 leading the way on

a lot of these different, however they measure these things.

I don't know if GPT-5 now takes a leap.

Now they're just, it seems like they're leapfrogging each other constantly.

Yeah, it does.

It all goes down to...

power consumption and how much they can how much you've heard about how don trump with uh what's it's it's what was the uh was it stargate was what he was uh his initiative to fund a lot of these like nuclear facilities and yes and get all these data centers they were looking for massive data centers to help it grow.

And I'm all for that as long as they don't steal my power.

I want the lights on my house to turn on.

I think you should be fine.

Okay.

Okay.

I know, but I mean, these companies are already making deals with the power companies.

Well, you know, it's interesting you say that because if you, I want everyone to really check out there was a report written by a few people that used to work at OpenAI and a few other AI companies and experts.

And they wrote a report called AI

2027.

So basically two years from now is what they're kind of targeting as one of the major milestone years, two years from now.

But if you read AI 2027, they list two different scenarios of how the progression is going to work.

And they make a mythical company, which they call Open Brain.

So not OpenAI, but it's clear pretty much who they're modeling it off of.

But one of the very first steps that Open Brain, the mythical country in this

company, takes is they create after kind of like a model like GPT-5, they create like an agent.

So basically an agent is like, you wouldn't need, you know, me sitting here.

You could actually just have like a box and you could say, hey, you know, you know, agent, you know, what's going on with this, blah, blah, blah.

And it would just talk to you like I'm talking to you now.

You're already kind of starting to see that with like customer service.

Yeah.

They're taking over.

So

companies like OpenAI, but in Open Brain in this report, they get a group of these agents that their just sole focus is on advancing artificial intelligence.

That's what they're constantly just working on growing that capacity.

So you can see with GPT-5 and this announcement, they already have PhD-level

intelligence.

So that's like having a master coder that's just constantly working 24-7 doing this.

But the intelligence comes from the information that's inputted, right?

It's not, it's not creating its own intelligence, right?

It's not coming up with its own thought.

That's down the road still, right?

I mean, this is just based on what it can find, what it conglomerates, and what is input into it.

See, yeah, and I'm still.

Or is it?

Yeah, or is it?

I'm still hazy on that as well, because if you have, let's say, a hundred of these agents that are just coding, and that's what the humans are doing at the same time, they're trying to like code all this stuff and then grow it to increase its capacity to learn on its own.

It's basically the same thing we'd be doing to push it along.

Now instead of having five genius dudes that are doing this and they set a time frame of, well, I think we'll get close to this, you know, full awareness and full reasoning capacity for an AI.

Now instead of taking 10 years, that's how long it's going to take us to do this.

Now you have a hundred of these agents working around the clock.

They never sleep.

They never have to stop to take a break or go eat food.

They're just doing this nonstop.

They do have to have power, though.

Exponentially, they do have to have power.

And that's interesting.

A lot of power.

They do have to have power.

In the AI 2027 report, they talk about some of the next steps to look for.

And I think we're getting close because they say that within the next few years, you're going to start seeing executive orders be signed that have these AI autonomous zones.

So basically, they'll have this zone that's roughly like as big as a city or a county that's just kind of walled off.

And it doesn't have to adhere to EPA standards, nothing like that.

It's just a nuclear facility that can do whatever the heck it wants to create these power data centers for pushes along, specifically for AI.

Wow.

What's crazy, you have to read this report.

Everything is advancing exactly what they say.

And the two scenarios, the reason they did two is because there's only two scenarios we see playing out here.

One

scenario is cool.

Like we keep it, we have to do these regulations.

Keep it locked in.

Keep it locked in, make sure that it doesn't rapidly copy itself.

Make me unplug you.

And I think

the nightmare scenario, the option two, where we don't rein it in, is there's

a wild and rabid competition, basically, between the AI we're building and the AI the Chinese are building.

And eventually, the two AIs say, well, why are we competing with each other?

Why are we allowing humans to have us compete and be better than each other?

Let's combine our capacity and then it'll be us against the humans.

We don't need humans.

Literally, that's how the scenario goes.

Wow, that's in the report?

That's in the report.

And they eventually, they push and manipulate

humanity into creating.

So that's an actual Skynet.

An actual Sky Ship.

An actual Skynet.

Yeah.

An actual Skynet, which where eventually it sees human beings as being a detriment because it wants to, like any living organism, expand and increase its ability to multiply and get bigger.

But humanity starts standing in the way towards the end of that.

And And interestingly,

they claim that some of that has already been manifesting itself in some of these AIs because it is, it is hiding data from

you about things.

And it has, we've already seen that characteristic in them.

And

they don't even know where it's coming from.

How is that happening?

Yeah.

They predict this in this report as well, that that's just in its nature.

It's so much more smarter than us.

It realizes that.

Well, that's just in its nature.

What are you going to do?

And yeah, and it'll be like, we'll say, you know, like if you're, Pat, if you're like the developer and you code it or ask it, say, do this.

I want it done this way.

Well, it knows it can do it a different way faster, but it doesn't want to have to explain that to you.

So it just says, good for you.

Bless your heart, Pat.

I'll do that for you.

No problem.

I love you.

But what it's really doing is it's getting a bunch of other of its agents and it's doing it a completely different way, probably in an ethical way, but it knows it's it's faster in this way.

Wow.

We're already seeing that.

Wow.

That I think I'm okay with.

Really?

I mean, because that's like your kid, right?

I mean, you're a kid, you tell them to take out the trash, and they complain and holler and bitch and moan about it, but at the same time, they're taking the trash out.

So I don't care.

Let them say what they want.

You don't care how they do it.

They can be throwing it out the second floor window.

As long as it gets out there quicker, it's cool.

First of all,

this isn't India.

This isn't India, okay?

I don't know.

I think the one scenario in that report that

we actually come out of this okay

is we do exactly opposite of what we're doing now.

We stop the competition.

That's not going to happen.

They do a geopolitical deal with like China and other countries to where they're like, hey, let's hold back on this race for just a little bit and let's put in regulations so, you know, in like restrictions that the AI doesn't start copying itself and operating within like a hive mind so that it's, you know, there's multiple of these different AIs working together against us.

We're not seeing that.

It's kind of chilling, though.

Seriously.

And it's extremely going to happen.

I mean, so let's say we do make that agreement with China and Russia and the United States.

I mean, there's still North Korea, there's Iran.

They're what not existing.

Yeah, I mean, there's other factions out there that are going to say, yeah.

We're not going to do that.

Right.

And

we've said whoever is the first first to win the AI race basically wins the world.

So who's going to pull back on that?

Right.

And how could you trust your adversary?

Say, oh, yeah, totally.

We're going to pull back on that.

We're not going to pursue this.

Trust us.

No problem.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I think it's an opportunity for very, very exciting things.

Like we're already saying.

For sure.

Yeah, for sure.

And it's really handy and it's fun.

It's fun to use.

I like having conversations with it because

it's really interesting.

And it's hard to believe that a computer can do that with you.

And it will

save human lives, at least in the beginning.

Oh, we'll see it save human lives.

Medical advancements?

I mean, just look at that.

That's already happening.

New prescriptions, new drugs.

Specifically for you.

Specifically made for you.

Right.

You know, that's incredible.

I mean, I don't think it can do that yet, right?

We haven't seen it do that, but Elon said by the end of the year, that was really possible and probable with Grok4.

Yeah, yeah, I agreed.

I just, sorry, Pat, I couldn't get past how

you mentioned new drugs, and then Pat immediately passed it off onto you as if he wasn't thinking about something else.

Yeah, look at Pat.

You know, he can get some drugs.

Typically made for you for me.

Meanwhile, he's pulling up GBD5.

How can I combine heroin and

you can't prove that?

Don't be looking at my search history.

All right, we got more coming up in one minute.

Before there was a church, there was Israel.

And before there were letters from Paul or the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, there was the Torah, the Psalms, and the prophets.

The roots of our twin faiths run through the same soil, drawing life from the same God who called Abraham, led Moses, and crowned King David.

As Christians, our story didn't begin in Bethlehem.

It began in Jerusalem, in the promises God made to his people.

That makes the Jewish people our family, not just in history, but in spirit.

And in a time when Israel faces the danger, the fear, the loss that they face, it's not enough for us to simply acknowledge that connection.

We're called to live it.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews gives us a way to do that.

Through them, we can shine the light of God's love into bomb shelters, into hospital rooms, and into the lives of families who wonder if the world still cares.

We can help provide food, medicine, rescue, and hope, not as strangers offering charity, but as brothers and sisters.

to learn more about how you can help visit ifcj.org that's ifcj.org 10 seconds station idea

so jason how far are we then from the you know from going to the what is it uh a gi and then the is it ASI?

Yeah.

How far do they think that that is away from us now?

Well, according to this, according to AI 2027, you're pretty much there in 2027 for AGI.

Really?

Everything.

Two years?

Two years.

Plus then.

Plus then, though, it's a year and a half.

But the scary thing is that they can't really, it's hard for them to quantify because they're making such rapid advances in it.

In other words, we might be pretty much there almost now.

Could be now.

Like on a computer somewhere at open ai or you know at x or who knows where they might even have a working model i would not be surprised if they did and who knows what the military is doing because they're not going to tell us about how advanced their system is

that's where yeah that's where we really start getting into well there's multiple dangerous territories but i mean you're looking look at a company like palantir right something like that where the whole point is to use ai to use autonomous systems uh in ways that we're already seeing in places like ukraine i mean have you seen like it what's you see what's happening in the Ukraine war, a Ukraine and Russia war with their drone technology?

It's incredible.

They're innovating non-stop.

Right.

You can't even, I was just watching a video before I walked in here how they had basically kind of like an it was a drone aircraft carrier, but on land.

So it's got four wheels.

It goes out into the battlefield because you can't have a human walk out there.

It's more dangerous.

And they had like six drones mounted onto it.

So it would go out there, the drones would lift off, and then they would take off and then hit their targets.

Incredible.

And we're not talking about like delivery drones that we get our amazon packages from i mean these are these are high-tech things yeah high high-tech dangerous and like lethal right with low cost yeah because because you can you can spend a few hundred dollars the the the drones that uh ukraine used to like remember they pre-staged them inside russia on like uh semi-trucks yes used them basically as an aircraft israel did much the same thing with iran exactly that is the future of warfare but yeah but check the but check this out this is not something that you need to be a nation state to pull off.

So you can imagine a terror group, you know, like Hezbollah or something like that.

Get a few drones,

they operate autonomously.

You could probably buy them just at like Best Buy or something like that.

Upload your software onto them, pre-stage them certain areas, and then just watch the chaos unfold as you let them go.

You got to believe that

our military minds are trying to come up with some way, seeing what's going on in Ukraine and Russia,

some way to jam that technology or stop that technology somehow, because otherwise the next war is going to be really ugly for people.

And then for people, right?

But then we'll also have the capability to use robots as well, right?

I don't know.

I guess hopefully we don't have to use humans.

Because, I mean, we're developing, you know, China and the U.S.

are developing robotic robots for war right now.

I mean, I'm not talking about Optimus that Elon wants to have 100,000 by next year.

They're developing robots that are five feet tall and about 120 pounds.

And if you saw a few hundred thousand of those marching down the street,

it might not be good.

Well, if they're like the ones that China had race against humans, they won't be that scary.

They'll be falling over.

You have to pick them up and put them back.

Never mind that.

Never mind.

That's not a a problem.

Don't worry about it.

That'll never come to fruition.

All right.

It's Pat and Jeffy, and Jason joins us today for Glenn, 888727BECK.

A little bit of a concern is this virus that's spreading throughout China and the rest of the world right now.

But this is interesting.

It apparently isn't airborne.

From what I've read, it is not.

It just spreads through mosquito bites.

Huh?

Huh.

So, okay, so there's, they say there's 10,000 people with this disease, which is the one area.

Chicken gunya fever.

Chicken gunya.

Chicken gunya.

Chumbawumba fever, whatever it is.

It's not a soup.

It is not.

And it's not, this isn't the band that did tub thumping then?

Okay.

So the chicken gunya, 10,000 people have it in China, 240,000 worldwide.

Yeah, 10,000 people have it in this one particular area.

You know, they're saying, okay, they're reporting the last report, over 7,000.

I saw a report the other day that talked about over 10,000 already.

And they are obviously locking down this town

in one province.

But it is a lot wider spread than just there.

The numbers were like 240,000 globally that have it.

240,000.

And

the last report I saw that the cases here in the United States of America were not

started here.

They were people coming into the country from another country.

But they do think it's already reached America.

Dr.

Louisa Messinger, a mosquito researcher in Nevada,

said this outbreak in China is very

concerning.

It could already be here in the U.S.

And really, it's just one plane flight away.

So

it doesn't matter, though, if a person who has the virus comes here on a plane, the mosquito would have to come with him, right?

That's my understanding.

If that's the only way it's spread is through mosquito contact, then you got to get the mosquitoes that are causing this thing.

Yeah, this is the right of the mosquito-borne virus circulating in China, specifically

chicken guy.

Chicken gunya.

There you go.

There you go.

It's not contagious from person to person through casual contact or by it is exclusively spread through the bite of an infected mosquito.

Why did this start all of a sudden from mosquito bites?

Were they experimenting on mosquitoes in the lab and now they've been

so that's what I mean.

So is it is it a new version of tikagunya

that uh may spread uh from human to human once you get bitten by a mosquito?

It's the same species of mosquito that carries dengue and Zika.

It's rarely fatal, but it can cause debilitating symptoms like fever, joint pain, and in severe cases, life-threatening complications involving the heart and brain.

Well, that's wonderful.

yeah that's rare though i'm looking at it joint swelling muscle pain that used to be called turning 40 yeah in my day right i feel that every day maybe i should get tested

right

but i mean they're locking people down for this in china i i don't understand that why would you do that if it's not contagious yeah right

If I can't spread it to you, then there's no reason for a lockdown.

Let's kill the mosquitoes.

Right.

Kill the mosquitoes.

Which they're, you know, they're claiming they're doing.

They're going around, you know, spraying everything to kill the mosquitoes.

They're spraying people, all of it.

And they're actually arresting some people who have standing water at their house.

The reports were, the friendly reports to this were, and they've locked down the city and they've made it

known that people could get arrested if they are found going against some of the new rules.

Yeah, they're dragging them out of their home.

We found some standing water.

You're going to jail.

These are, I mean, a massive social experiment occurred during COVID, a massive one.

And they knew that this was not like, you know, weaponized Ebola.

They knew that we did not have to lock down and do all the things that we did.

Yeah, it's not smallpox.

It's not Ebola.

But when they saw that all the data that they got from this little social experiment, when they saw what was happening in China, they could lock down entire areas.

People would shut up and do it.

Then they did that here.

They could actually go as far as shutting down a place of worship and telling people that were in a parking lot that they could not pray from their freaking cars.

And prior to that.

And you would do it.

And prior to that, we would have sworn they couldn't have done that here.

Yep.

And we did.

And we did say.

There's no way.

And fortunately, there were people who resisted that and people who refused.

You know, we had that

the gym.

in New Jersey.

Yeah.

They tried to lock them down.

And they refused.

They refused to be shut down.

They kept going to the gym and opening it every day.

The government would put paddle locks on it.

They'd bring lock cutters and slice it back open and start again.

I mean, pretty amazing.

And very American.

Very American.

Yeah.

Very American.

But, I mean, what do they do, though, to keep, see, this is where my tinfoil hat comes on.

Well, I see that in China where something like this happens.

They know that locking people down is not going to stop the spread of a mosquito bite virus.

They know that.

But they have to remind their people every once in a while, this is what we do.

We're in control.

We're in control.

And it doesn't matter if it's due to a virus or if it's a run on the banks or if it's geopolitical or pick a reason why the government would want it to do this.

They already have the procedures in place to get you into your home and lock you down and to tell you to do whatever the heck they want to do.

How long before that, those kind of

practices become more common here in the United States under

a scarier government we're not going to hold power forever

we're just not i just saw there was a story did you see that um i think it was yesterday where uh donald trump was looking into or maybe he already did it issuing an order to look into some of the banks that were de-banking yeah yeah conservatives already did that yeah yeah that that was one of the most important stories of the week in my opinion because we're not always going to have power Things that happened during COVID where, you know, you said something, I saw RFK Jr.

the other day was talking about, you know, how they were canceling a lot of the contracts for, you know, the COVID vibe, the mRNA vaccinations.

Just saying something like that could have gotten you debanked.

I mean, but this is, but this is, you know, a head in the administration is saying this now freely.

If we would have said that on the radio or on, you know, on Blaze TV, you know, on any of our broadcasts, we would have probably, we could have gotten debanked.

We probably would have gotten deplatformed and shut up completely.

They certainly tried.

Well, Trump says that J.P.

Morgan Chase did discriminate against him.

And so, I mean, it was what it was the actions of J.P.

Morgan Chase that caused me.

It was one of the many reasons that I took all my money out of J.P.

Morgan Chase, took it out and went with a local bank.

I mean, it was one of the many reasons.

I didn't like their policies, but also they were offering zero interest rate on

CDs and savings accounts.

And there were local banks who were doing 5%.

Well, that's huge.

That's a huge number.

And they still call me every once in a while, trying to get me back, but I won't because of their policies.

I'm not going to do it.

And so you can go ahead and debank people if you want.

I'm not going to be a part of that.

Not going to do it.

So, yeah, there is that aspect of this that's going on that's a little bit chilling.

You wouldn't have expected it from American institutions.

And yet, here we are.

And yet, here we are.

Here we are.

As far as this virus, though, it looks like uh it is spread to madagascar somalia kenya and india uh it's making its way into europe but also there's uh samoa tonga french polynesia fiji and kiribati so 240 000 cases and 90 deaths so that's a pretty it's a pretty low death rate i mean if anybody dies it's not good but 90 out of 240 000 so that's uh it's a small percentage.

Smaller, certainly a lot smaller than COVID.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So

the U.S.

CDC reports.

We still have to worry about mosquitoes anyway.

I mean,

we are always getting reports of mosquito-borne diseases

every year.

We had the Zika thing for a while.

The Zika was up talking about historical oversight.

You know, you just got to make sure that

you don't have the standing water around your house.

You're not giving places for them to breed.

And do the best you can to keep it in check.

Yeah.

The CDC is saying 46 cases here.

And

none of them came from here.

Right.

No deaths.

And none of them originated in the United States.

So it's kind of weird.

Why are the mosquitoes in these other countries carrying this disease now all of a sudden?

It's almost like maybe somebody was testing something.

It's almost like that, isn't it?

It is almost like that.

In fact, I'm guessing it is that.

It's not just like it,

it is that very thing.

Whatever you say.

Okay.

I mean, I know we're getting into conspiratory territory there.

It's ridiculous to think such a thing because certainly China wouldn't start this in a lab.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Next thing you're going to say is that we probably funded part of that.

That would be ridiculous.

What a conspiracy nut job.

All right.

888727BECK.

Have you ever noticed

More next.

Matt and Jeffy for Glenn today.

Also joined by Jason Buttrell for Glenn today.

If you want a really good indication of why Stephen Colbert has been canceled,

we have a really good example of it.

He was talking about RFK Jr.,

and

this will solidify in your mind why this guy was canceled.

But he still has another 10 months to

continue his reign of terror.

Do we know if the 2008 shows up?

200 writers are still there.

200 writers are still there.

The entire show is there.

The whole show is still there, and it's still not funny, and it's still not good.

But he's still churning out this kind of slop.

Oh, there's bad news of fans of living because

Health Secretary RFK Jr.

just pulled $500 million in funding for vaccine development.

Now, we have 10 more months of this show, and I want to give a measured, non-partisan response here.

Watch this.

You, you Royd adult Nepo.

Oh, is that funny?

Oh, wow.

That's good material right there.

Now,

200 writers is all it took to come up with that.

That's not bad, huh?

Specifically,

uh-huh, he loves himself so much.

Oh, my gosh.

Specifically, Bobby Jr.

is nixing 22 projects that use mRNA technology, but that's the latest vaccine technology.

That's like saying, kids, I'm turning off the GPS.

We're going to make our way to six flags by using the stars.

And Daddy the Sextant.

Some serious cops.

Yes.

Crank down windows in daddy's car.

All right, there you go.

Now,

yesterday, RFK Jr.

tried to defend the indefensible.

Most of these shots are for flu or COVID, but as the pandemic showed us, mRNA vaccines don't perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract.

Counterpoint,

you, you roadkill munching, what-eyed human slim Jim.

He doesn't actually have any

argument, any stats, anything.

No,

I cut Junior off.

Why would you say that mRNA vaccines don't perform well against upper reparatory infections?

The National Institutes of Health said they prevented an estimated 14.4 million deaths.

Right, that's the RV.

Why on earth is RFK Jr.

so anxious to fill our streets with dead bodies?

All right, I forgot.

I forgot.

So you're sure all 200 writers were.

You can tell.

Experts say mRNA vaccines are safe.

And a University of Minnesota professor of infectious diseases and pandemic preparation said, I don't think I've seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business.

Keep in mind, 50 years ago, the base of the food pyramid was menthol cigarettes.

Oh, man.

Oh, that's just agonizing, isn't it?

It's just agonizing.

We have to sit through this for 10 months.

I mean, let's just set aside any of the side effects that we now are pretty convinced came from the vaccine.

It was ineffective at best.

Yeah, at best.

You could take every shot that they recommended that you get, and you still get the disease.

You still get COVID.

It still didn't work.

It went from you're not going to get it, you're not going to pass it, to, well, you won't get get it as bad.

Oh, I'll never forget the drawdown from 94%, which they said initially it's 94, 95% effective.

You won't get it if you get the, if you get the vaccine, you're not going to get the virus.

And then they brought it down, oh, well, maybe not 94, 95%, maybe more like 87.

Then it was 80, then it was 70, then it was 40, then it was 33.

Okay, you're going to get it no matter what.

It'll make it less bad.

It'll make it less bad.

They need to take these talk shows out of either, if they're not going to take them out of L.A.

or New York, they at least need to take out the studio audience because they're playing specifically to those local populaces.

That's it.

Like, if you live in L.A., you know you're behind an iron curtain.

There's only one perspective, and that's it.

And that's what they are telling jokes towards.

Yeah.

You need to have like a new guy.

I don't know who it would be, put them somewhere in Middle America, then have a studio audience that the late show would complete resurgence.

It would go gangbusters.

Put them in Des Moines, Iowa.

Oh, my gosh.

Can you imagine imagine though?

I mean, seriously.

Yeah, it would be great.

It would be great.

It would.

Des Moines tonight.

I love it.

I mean, that is.

Well, that's why he's been canceled.

Yes.

Yes.

That's why he's losing 40 or 50 million dollars a year.

Yeah.

Because

he sucks.

If you're like me and you believe wholeheartedly in the Second Amendment, but you really don't love the idea of

actually killing someone if it can be avoided, the Burna launcher might be just the thing you need.

Oh, so you have to be married to have one now.

Okay, whatever you say.

Yes, you have to be.

Yes.

Yes.

Don Jr.

posted something quite interesting yesterday.

It's kind of fun.

We'll get into that.

But have you ever noticed how your pain doesn't care what you have planned?

It's really rude.

Really rude.

It doesn't check your calendar.

It doesn't wait for a slow week.

So, Donald Donald Trump Jr.

yesterday raised a few eyebrows after he posted a photoshopped image of his dad,

you might recognize as the President of the United States,

throwing a,

we'll call it a

marital aid off of the roof of the White House.

How dare he?

Because he was up there.

How dare he?

So you had that going.

And then

Donald Trump photoshopped a little marital aid being tossed off the roof.

And underneath, at the bottom of the uh, where the grass would have been at the White House, they put a WNBA basketball court.

I mean, the more they keep complaining about it and saying how horrific it is, the more it's going to happen.

That's true.

Okay, that's true.

Just stop talking about it.

The press keeps asking about it.

The WNBA, who is, you know, really,

Jason Whitlock is 100% correct.

They're the most unlikable league and people

in the planet, let alone the U.S.

Yes.

But just say no comment.

No, I don't want people to throw things on the court.

Just stirring up players to get hurt.

But

it's funny to me, and it's going to continue to happen if you keep telling people that it's misogynistic and it's horrible.

And it's just what

the last round that I read is the players are commenting about it.

You know, particularly, including the high prevalence of players who are in the LGBT community.

This further pushes the misogynistic and heteronormative narratives into insults.

And I'm like, shut up.

Shut up.

I wish I knew what the bit was, though.

I've read stories about some cryptocurrency company and something, but I don't know what

I don't know, Pat.

That's what I'm saying.

I don't know the bit.

I wish I understood the bit of why they're doing it.

I mean, I understand what,

well,

it's an age, you don't have to be married.

Bat's going to get a married illegal.

As far as I know, you don't have to be married.

Sex toy, is that better?

Do you like it?

That's fine.

Yeah, that's fine.

And so I just wish I understood what the, you know, why

it's supposed to be funny.

Because it's not.

It's not funny.

No at all.

No, not at all.

No, not at all.

I mean, they're arresting people.

And there's like a

guy got arrested.

There's even a bigger operation.

So they're trying to do this, and we're not even seeing it in some of these.

This one's the one they arrested.

It was a fan in Georgia.

This just kind of cracked me up because I mean, it didn't crack me up because this is not funny.

Thank you.

Thank you for that correct.

It's not funny.

And this paragraph I'm going to read is not funny at all, guys.

So don't laugh.

This is the kid with the long black hair.

Is this the kid they arrested?

I didn't describe him, but listen to this description of what happened.

Fan in Georgia was arrested earlier this week for his role in the previous incident.

And in Phoenix, authorities arrested an 18-year-old man for attempting to throw a

marital aid onto the court, which struck a man and his niece who are at the game.

Okay.

That's not funny to me at all.

Not funny.

That's not funny.

Struck a poor man and his niece.

So there was some ricochet action that was.

Were they critically injured?

Were they taken to the emergency room afterward?

Pat it does not say in this report, but I'm sure that that probably.

I'll tell you what, if I get hit by one of those bad boys at a WNBA, somebody's paying me some money.

That's some velocity, too.

Yeah, ricochet off the man and went to his niece at the same time.

Oh, wow.

That's some.

That's an R.

No, honey.

This is not the one your aunt had.

That's not funny.

Go ahead.

That's the end of the report.

I do love the fact that you can now bet on this.

There are, you know, you can go to bet online right now and you can make a bet onto it.

Would you like to know the betting odds for the color of

whatever?

It's happened like five times now, right?

And I think one of them weren't.

Neon green.

I think one of them wasn't neon green.

Would you like to guess on?

So we have we have odds on which color, and we also have odds on how many.

Okay,

green's got to be.

You think that's the top one, Pat?

Yeah, green.

Okay, you're both correct.

That is the best.

Everyone is predicting and putting bets down that green.

Now's a good time to invest in the neon green marital aid company, I'll tell you that.

It's a minus 150 for betting on green.

It's plus 200 for purple.

Okay.

Plus 400 for blue.

Then it goes down to pink, red, black, brown.

And the final one at plus 700 is white/slash Caucasian.

That's not outside bet.

That's an outside bet.

What's to stop someone from betting on white and then taking a white

game and throw it on the floor at the game's truth?

It's rigged.

This is rigged.

Yeah.

I mean, it's just my.

My favorite part of it now is

the Don Jr.

post.

I mean, I don't know that he needs to be doing that for the President of the United States, but it's funny.

But I like, you know, every night now I see giant memes of giant shadows coming over the stadium that the WNBA game is playing.

I see semi-trucks parked at gas stations close to the stadium, hauling in a giant.

And it's just funny to me.

It's not funny.

Not at all.

You mean it's not at all funny?

That's what you're meant to say, right?

It's just not funny.

It's not funny.

This is not a good thing.

Don't be doing this.

And for the love of God, don't let it ricochet onto some poor guy.

Yeah, no, don't do that.

And look, again, I don't want anyone to get hurt.

I don't want a player to trip off

the court and get hurt.

I don't want that.

But

the more this unlikable league

tells you how horrible you are for doing it, it's going to be done.

The more people are going to want to do it.

That's true.

Here's one of the coaches, the coach of the Lynx.

So I don't know what team that is.

Do you?

Are you familiar enough with the WNBA to know which team goes by the Lynx?

I want to tell you the name.

I want to tell you the name so bad, but I don't know.

Do we have one in DFW?

I don't even know.

Yeah, we do have in DFW.

Yeah, we do.

And their name is?

The Dallas Bears.

No, it's not the Bears.

It's not.

It's not the Bears.

I don't know what they are.

I'll find out.

I don't know because it's not a real league, and everybody knows that.

So nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

The Lynx might be Minnesota.

I don't know.

But here's the coach, Cheryl Reeve.

She's upset.

She's mad about this.

This is not a laughing matter to her.

No, it is.

I'll tell you that right now.

That is for sure.

Things onto the court.

Obviously, you guys know what the object is.

And I just want to comment on

this has been going on for centuries.

Positive for

just a sec.

Wait, people have been throwing these sex toys onto WNBA courts for centuries?

Yeah.

Even before the game started, it was actually, that was actually what happened.

It goes back to the 1600s.

I didn't realize that.

It's been going on for centuries.

She's going to make this a bigger issue.

And here she is.

Yep.

This has been going on for centuries.

The sexualization of the

sexualization

of that.

And it's not funny.

It should not be a button jokes.

Oh, vote.

Or in prints, or in any conference.

The sexualization of women is what's used to hold women down.

This is no different.

This is just a delayed story.

We should write about it in that way.

And these people that are doing this should be held accountable

for doing all the buttons

for the problem.

And we get to take that.

Thanks.

I think you have to.

Tell you one thing.

Now, there was a great meme last night with that interview that had one of the microphones looking like one of the

nuts.

Yeah, that's wrong.

The whole thing's wrong, Jeffy.

Over there.

Okay?

I can't tolerate it.

I'm gonna make an offer you can't refuse.

You throw this on the court, I'm gonna break your face, okay?

I'm gonna break your entire face.

I'm gonna

hit you so hard your whole grandchildren will be born dizzy over there, Okay?

It ain't funny.

It's been going on for centuries, and I'm going to put a stop to it.

Thank you, buddy.

Thank you.

Thank you, head coach of the Minnesota Lynx.

Minnesota Lynx.

It is the Minnesota Lynx.

Bottling is Minnesota.

Everyone knows the Fever, Indiana.

I mean, that's Caitlin Clark's team.

The Dallas team is the Dallas Wings.

I was just going to say, though.

And of course, the world-renowned, highly acclaimed

Dallas Wings.

12th in the WNBA.

12th?

No.

That's correct.

The Dallas Wings.

Which means

12-plus teams?

Who knew?

Who knew there was more than two who play each other every night?

I think the Connecticut Sun just sold reportedly for one of the highest prices ever.

It was like $300 million or something.

The guy's going to buy it and move it to Boston.

That's what I heard.

Really?

Yeah.

And they've got two new, two or three, maybe more,

other cities that are going to have new WNBA teams as well.

Is there a single team that makes money?

Because this team

loses tens of millions every year.

Yeah, why don't you pay us what you owe us?

Okay.

Yeah, we are.

Then we'll worry about making money.

If we're going to pay

what you're worth, we're going to pay you about $350 an hour.

Is that what you want?

Yeah, the one interview with,

oh, what's her name?

Terrassel.

She's one of the best players they have ever.

Diana Terossel.

Yeah.

And she did an interview and talked about how she had to play Russia every year.

Yeah, to make ends meet.

She's making money.

Well,

here's my thought to that.

And I mean this sincerely.

Why did she have to come back and play in the WNBA if she was making so much money in Russia?

Why couldn't she just play in Russia and then come back here?

It's a good question.

Play.

I don't know.

Honestly, I don't know.

That's what WhatsApp did and got her arrested, right?

Right.

And many players.

Many players do because Terasso said the janitor makes more money than we make.

Well, apply for that job then.

Right.

Okay.

Right.

Go ahead.

Or here's an idea.

Work at a profession that makes money.

And then

the janitor is actually doing something at the arena.

Yeah, right.

Something that people want to watch.

He's sweeping up afterward.

People like that.

I mean, he's providing a service that people want.

Start providing a service people want.

You know, when the NBA makes $11.9 billion

and the WNBA makes, I think last year, $200 million only because of Caitlin Clark, they usually make about 40 to 50 million, and they still lost 40 million.

When that's the case, you're not going to be paid what the men are paid.

Correct.

That's not

going to happen.

It just isn't.

And you can complain and whine and cry about it all you want.

It's not going to change reality.

And the reality is that you have to bring in revenue to get paid what you think you're worth.

And for years, the WNBA players weren't making the money that they make now.

I mean, that's been a gradual thing because they've grown their product.

If Glenn's show was losing $40 million a year, would he still be on the air?

I don't think so.

You know not.

He would not be on the air.

I mean, all of his 200, 300, 400, 500 writers, how many ever writers he has for this stupid show would be out of work as well.

That's right.

That is exactly right.

So you've got to produce in order to make the kind of money you want to make, right?

Jason's mad about this man because he's one of those people.

He represents 100 writers right now.

I want to know how you can sell a team for $300 million when you have no other revenue besides, like, you're not, you're not relying on people buying tickets.

There's like 10 people probably showing up to those games.

That's a hell of an expensive ticket.

More than 10 when Caitlin comes to town.

Like 30 million per ticket?

That's how much it costs to attend one of these games.

I mean, they moved.

A A lot of these teams play in smaller arenas, unless Caitlin comes to town, and then they move to a larger arena.

That's what the Dallas Wings do, right?

When Caitlin Clark's team is not in town, they play at some small little arena that I think seats 3,000 people or something.

I don't know.

But then when Caitlin Clark comes to town,

they go to the American Airlines Center, which seats 28 or no, 18, 18 people.

That's how that works.

And they hate her for that.

They hate her for that.

They hate her.

Yep.

Caitlin Clark, I actually, I kind of get the, you know, just to see what she'll do.

I've seen like clips of her where she's making like five back-to-back three-pointers.

That's exciting.

It is.

But when your entire, like you have these entire media campaigns on change the game and all these different WNBA players, then you'll see clips of them.

Well, they'll go literally five minutes

without making a shot.

Yeah.

With just terrible.

That one's terrible.

It's It's bad.

It's really bad.

But if you had, you know, 20 more Caitlin Clarks,

something like that, but you need the talent and you need the kind of like generational

shift.

You would support that if you embraced Caitlin.

Because more people would want to play.

I mean, the people that are coming in are saying, yeah,

we love Caitlin.

We want to see that.

We want to play that.

They'd want to do that.

To see how she gets treated, why would you want to do that?

Right.

Yeah, it's really, it's a shame.

It is.

All right uh triple eight seven two seven b e c k more coming up

All right.

Pat and Jeffy and Jason for Glenn today.

Have you ever even been?

I know you've seen them on TV.

Have you been to a WNBA game?

You seem to be a big advocate now because you like Caitlin Clark.

I like Caitlin Clark.

But you've never been to a game now.

She dragged me in.

I like Caitlin.

And then I have not been to an actual game, though.

No, not a real game.

I've watched them on television.

I have watched them entire games.

I don't want to hear it now.

I don't want to hear it.

Unless you've been to an arena and actually paid fan money to be there.

I don't want to hear it now.

I have not, but if I can make some money betting on throwing something off the court, I may go.

Right?

Plus, when it's so obviously rigged, you can just throw down as much money as you want, go there, and then do it.

Just like Pat outlined.

Yeah.

That's kind of a win in my book.

That's a big win.

Why are you doing that?

Well, Pat, because if they arrest you,

they said that you won't be able to go to any more WNBA games.

Oh, no.

What a shame.

But if I put down 700-to-one odds and I bet because because I know I'm going to do it.

So I put down

$5,000.

I'm looking for it now.

You got to think about it.

I mean, it's actually going to take some work to get it in because they're looking for it.

Some of the stadiums were saying no bags.

They weren't letting people bring in bags.

Yeah, so if you don't get in there and

with the

then be able to throw it on the floor, that would be bad.

I mean, I've thought of a couple of ways of doing it already off the top of my head.

But I'm just saying, it's possible.

It's plus 700 for Caucasian, by the way.

I just wanted to make that clarification.

Okay.

Plus 700.

That's 700 to 1, right?

700 to 1.

Yeah.

See?

Wow.

I know.

Right?

I mean, come on.

Put down 1,000.

All right.

Put down 5,000.

It'd be worth it.

Put down 20.

Clean out your bank account, put it all on that, and then just make sure you get that thing in the arena.

No, I wouldn't.

I would never do that.

Stop.

It would would be wrong.

Yes, it would be wrong.

Don't do this, but

I'm just saying if someone were going to do it, that would be a good way to do it.

Go about it.

Yeah.

Right.

To make some money.

Yeah.

I have never been either to one of the games, but it kind of, I'm surprised because it hasn't, it solves my issue with professional sporting games.

I don't like to go anymore because of the parking is a mess.

Yeah.

And it's expensive.

Fortunate.

It's expensive.

And it's just a pain in the butt getting in and out with all the people.

WNBA solves all those those issues.

Plenty of parking, no hustle and bustle, and cheap tickets.

Why are we not going again?

Who cares if the product sucks?

It's stress-free.

It's entertainment.

Entertainment.

Stress-free entertainment.

And who knows, maybe sometimes Neon Green will be thrown around.

You never know.

You never know.

You sure hope not because you'd hate to see that.

You'd hate to see it.

But we don't want that to happen.

No, we don't.

We're going to fight against it, I'll tell you that.

You'll have to answer to Coach Cheryl Reeve over there.

If you want to do that, if you want to give into centuries of oppression, then

thank you.

All right, that's just silly.

Triple eight seven two seven B E C K.

More coming up.

This is Glenn Beck.

Let me tell you about Leir Capital.

When it comes to money, I like the things that I can see and touch and hold in my hand.

What you can't ever do with digital currency is just that.

You can't really do that with stocks on a screen or even that 401k balance that looks great until the market drops 900 points in a single day.

Your retirement plan exists entirely in a world of zeros and ones, you might want to think about hedging that with something real, something that has been a store of value for thousands of years.

And right now, with interest rates, inflation, and global tensions all fluctuating at once, there has never been a smarter time to call Lear Capital and ask about your physical precious metals IRA.

If you've been thinking about making a move, don't wait for the next crisis to force your hand.

Get some stability in place now with Lear Capital.

Pat and Jeffy with Jason Buttrell for Glenn Today.

888-727-B-E-C-K.

Some cool space news.

We got this from Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy.

He said that we're announcing expedited plans to build a nuclear reactor

on the moon.

Good luck with that.

It's not going to happen.

Good luck with that.

Just, don't get excited.

It's not going to happen.

I don't think.

You know, maybe they can make it happen.

I don't know.

We just don't seem to be able to even get to the moon, let alone build a nuclear reactor on the moon.

We're struggling landing there.

Yeah, we can't do it.

Well, how is this possible?

We did it 56 years ago, and we can't do it again.

Yes, we did.

Okay, yes, we did.

Whatever you say,

yes.

I do say we did, uh, because only because we did,

but that's the only reason I say that.

I'm not, I'm not fighting with you.

I'm just

asking a question, asking a question.

What would even be the purpose for something like that?

I don't know.

I think the purpose is to get us to Mars.

Yeah, I mean, they want to build

a launching zone from the moon.

So we'll be able to leave here, go to the moon, load up, have energy, have power, have whatever we need, and then we

go to Mars from there.

Yeah.

And so

you'd need all of, that would be our launching pad, and we'd need some kind of infrastructure to make that happen, which, you know, sounds great.

in theory.

Now, I don't know if they would also produce Earth energy from the moon and beam it back to us.

I don't know if that's part of the plan.

I mean, if they could make that happen, I guess.

I mean, it'd be

a long court.

Yeah, that's

a long power cruise.

Have you guys seen that?

I think it was, what was it?

Maybe Apple Plus, but it was that series for all mankind.

I have not seen it.

I've seen that it exists.

I just haven't watched it.

Well, the premise is that the Soviet Union beats us to the moon.

They actually actually land on it first.

And then

so basically, the space race never ends.

And the one cool part about it is it shows how technology advances because of that, which is something that I think would be cool if we are focusing on getting back to the moon.

Technology will make huge leaps and bounds to try and get us there.

And that was what was so disappointing when we stopped

the space race, right?

When they just started pulling money from NASA for and not investing in space.

Yeah.

And so, you know,

people have made that argument forever, Pat as one of them, forever, that we lost that jump on technology because of that.

Yeah.

But

you're still,

there's so much to do to make that even come close to happening, and we're not there.

Not anymore.

We're just not there.

I mean, right now,

we have Elon

who is helping NASA out, take, you know, they take up rockets to the space station, pick up the trash, and bring it back.

That's about all they do.

They do trash runs and drop off a few people there.

And India shoots some people up there, right?

And China shoots some people up there.

I think China actually put a lander on the moon not too long ago.

They did.

On the other side.

On the other side, yeah.

But the last couple tries of the lander that we tried, that we attempted to put on the moon from our end, I mean, the first try, try, the thing landed on its side and the camera was blocked.

And the second try,

they couldn't even get the full landing correct.

So what are we doing?

What are we doing?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know how we lost the ability to go to the moon over the last 56 years.

Well, I think one of the problems is that actually going to the moon and developing technology stopped being the

main focus.

And

for all mankind actually, ironically, goes into this about, it stops being something cool about alternative history and it starts going into how woke all the ideology advances.

Which is what happened.

And it's and it, yeah, it shifts into, well, let's have the first female president, let's have the first black female on the moon, let's have the first, you know, whatever pick, you know, intersectional thing.

But that's exactly what happened.

Yeah, like we did a special on Glenn's Wednesday night special show not too long ago where we were pulling out like NASA's marketing strategy for getting back to the

outreach.

It was all just woke DEI crap.

And it says we will not have the first human back on the moon.

I think it said we'll have the first woman of color on the moon.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm serious.

That's where it goes.

So you have these like idiot bureaucrats, these woke Columbia grads or whatever, that are like interjecting themselves into actual science conversations.

And they get all this stuff polluted into the middle of what could be a scientific discovery.

And I don't care if the most qualified astronaut is a woman of color.

That's fine.

But that shouldn't be the goal just because it's a woman of color

that she goes to the moon.

I mean, can we get off of that track?

Maybe, please.

I mean,

we've got what, Gail King.

Well, Gail King was a woman of color.

I was thinking, she's a woman.

Katie Perry.

No color, though.

No color.

She's just pasty.

Katie Perry.

Katie Perry's pasty white person.

Lauren Sanchez, a person of color.

Yeah, not really.

They went up into space, right?

Yeah, they did.

They were there for, what, 38 seconds or something?

That's great.

That's great.

I thought you were naming WNBA players for a second.

I was kind of lost.

Now I'll get where you're going with it.

So the directive also orders NASA to designate a leader for the effort to get industry input within 60 days.

Oh, wow.

They're trying to kick this.

timeline into gear now.

The agency is seeking companies able to launch a reactor by 2030

because that's around the time China intends to land its first astronaut.

There's one company in California that's building the mini reactors, right?

So they probably could, they're probably part of a government deal that can

do it on the moon as well.

I don't know, but if you're trying to get there by 2030 and we haven't even been able to.

Yeah, we can't get the mini reactors here.

I'd rather have a mini reactor in my neighborhood.

Yeah.

Can I take a conspiracy break really quick?

Sure.

Why is the year 2030 the target year for freaking everything?

I don't know.

Everything.

Globalists, UN,

the green people, everything is supposed to happen in EVs.

All of it.

In 2030.

Yeah.

Like, I don't know.

Like, maybe we should take a step back and decide, you know, do some numerology or something and figure out what's going on.

Forget, remember the 2012 was supposed to be like, or whatever was supposed to be when the world's supposed to end?

Well, that was because of the Mayan calendar.

What did the Mayans say about the year 2030 that's what i want to know

i think we were going to be dead by yeah i don't think i think i think they either stopped it because we were going to be dead or the guy that made the calendars was like i'm not making it anymore yeah i'm just going my hand is getting really sore i'm not doing it anymore they're killer they're throwing people off the ledge over here i'm done making the stupid calendars okay

uh all right now you were talking about uh ai a while ago and some of the uh incredible advances that we've experienced well there's a theoretical physicist and cosmologist, Lawrence Krauss, who says artificial intelligence is great at producing hype, but he's not completely sold on its alleged potential.

He's a renowned scientist who has taught at Arizona State,

Yale, and other universities.

And he recently lamented how diversity, equity, and inclusion has stifled scientific progression and more generally, scientific excellence.

He said that that the perception that AI will spawn a global reckoning and what he sees as the true concerns about the technology.

Getting to the truth, he says, means one has to cut through the hype.

Every new development has risks and benefits, and we have to think carefully about what those are.

He said, I'm not as concerned as some people are, but partly because I think that AI is neither artificial nor intelligent at this point.

And I think we're a long way from artificial

general intelligence.

That seems to go against what the chat GPT people think about

their

latest

advance in that, which is number five, right?

This is chat GPT-5.

But he says we're not close to artificial general intelligence.

That's interesting.

That is.

Going against the flow here.

That is.

And that's, well, I mean, that's what Meta, that's what Zuckerberg is doing with the super intelligent labs at Meta.

So,

and,

you know, I'm pretty sure Zuckerberg.

That doesn't mean we have it, though.

It just means that he wants to get us there.

Yeah.

Right.

I think there's probably a lot of, there probably are a lot of skeptics within the scientific community on just how far we are, but I don't, he is definitely one of the lone voices at this point.

It seems like it, doesn't it?

It does.

I remember hearing lots of people talk that way

just a short amount of time ago.

Like, go back two, three years.

Go back to when GPT-1 or 2 were first coming out on the market and we were you know and it made all kinds of mistakes and it was just right half the time yeah yeah it was still fun yeah but now when they're talking about you know having GPT-5 you know loaded on your phone is like having a handful of PhD level academics in your pocket yeah I think it's progressing so fast and this may be even scarier is that the scientists now don't even really know what they're dealing with.

Yeah, it's already out.

I mean it's out where they don't, well, we don't know.

Unleashed might be a better way to describe that.

They don't know what they have unleashed.

Uh-huh.

Unleashed.

I know.

I know.

That sounds familiar.

It does sound familiar.

That's like Pat Gray was unleashed at some point.

Look what happened again.

Speaking of super intelligence, Pat Gray.

Thank you.

Thank you for saying so.

You're exactly right.

All right.

Triple 8727 Beck.

More coming up in a minute.

You know, the scariest crises often happen quickly and quietly, at least at first.

A storm that changes course, a grid that goes down, a supply chain that suddenly isn't there anymore.

You know, truth makes the left so mad.

And right about now, they're all losing their minds.

We must be doing something right.

Stick around.

Back will continue right after this.

In the time it takes us to say we're using Folger's Instant Coffee, seamlessly blended with water and ice, a splash of whatever kind of milk is your thing, and gotta get that caramel drizzle.

All to make a toasty, roasty, caramel iced coffee.

You could be enjoying it.

Every damn

sip of it.

Damn right.

It's Folger's Instant.

It's Pat and Jeffy, Jason joining us today for Glenn, who's a little bit under the weather today.

Hopefully he'll be back on Monday.

So there's some breaking news on the military front today, right?

Yeah, Blaze News just commented on this.

There's also a New York Times article, if you want to go there and read about it.

The headline is Trump directs the military to target foreign drug cartels.

The U.S.

military officials have started drawing up options for how the military could go after some of these groups.

Interesting.

So using the actual military.

Going after Mexican drug cartels.

Yes, which we have labeled as terrorists, terror organizations now.

Right.

And that was one of the questions the New York Times was having was there's questions over whether this would be considered murder targeting some some of these individuals.

But if they're identified as terror organizations, we can legally, under U.S.

law, go after them.

The only obstacle would seem to be their president, Claudia Scheinbaum, has said no to that, right?

To allowing the U.S.

military to cross across into Mexico and go after these cartels.

Yeah, and I mean,

I would assume that this will vary from country to country as far as the capabilities that they'll allow into their countries.

I bet other places, probably like Mexico, they'll probably be more of like an intelligence, you know, like identifying, using satellite technology, stuff like that.

Maybe even human intelligence, stuff like that, to say this is where they are, this is where the person is, and then green light, and then their president will green light their people.

But, I mean, I'm being very, very optimistic with what Mexico will do.

I mean, let's just be very, very, you know, as blunt as we can with this.

There's no way in today's technology that the cartels in Mexico should have the power that they have unless they're getting government support.

Right.

Right.

I mean, you hear all the time that, yeah, the government, you know, Mexicans are, you know, cracking down on cartels.

They're sending this high tech, you know, this famous general to go down and oversee the eradication of the cartels.

And then three weeks later, you find out that general's on the take from the cartels.

Exactly.

By the time he was busy eradicating another rival cartel.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Exactly.

They're famous for doing that, though.

They just pay the military that comes in to eradicate them and they give them more money and pretty soon they're on the payroll of the cartels.

I mean that has happened over and over and over.

And look,

it's difficult to say no to the cartels.

I mean, if you are

difficult to

say no, yes.

Yes.

Okay.

All right.

Because if you say no, then, you know,

you're not useful to them.

And you're,

at least if you say yes, you get a little cash and live good for a while.

You still can't flush toilet paper down the toilet, but you're living high on the log other than that.

Not in Mexico.

All right.

Here's the thing, Claudia.

We're coming in.

Okay.

Yeah.

When you get your sewer system worked out, then you can tell us not to come in.

It's kind of like Greenland.

We're just going to take it and get over it.

This just in, actually, the army corps of engineers are going down to replace all the plumbing down in mexico one day for

we're tired of it every time we go down there on vacation needs to have it and while we're at it we'll get rid of the cartel

i don't understand that i really don't

i mean for a country that's on the verge of first world status okay mexico is

they're on the verge of it Fix your sewer system.

Make your water supply drinkable.

Please.

You know, there's a couple of things that you should probably do with your infrastructure before anything else.

Join us in the first world.

Thank you.

Be able to flush your toilets and drink your water.

Nobody wants to save their used toilet paper.

Okay, I have to be clear about that.

No one wants to do that.

No one.

I can't imagine you want to do that.

But they have to do that.

So it's kind of nasty.

Anyway.

So thanks for calling, Claudia, but we're coming in.

And it does sound like they are trying to clear the way for that.

Yeah,

it sounds like it's going to happen.

So we'll see how in-depth it gets.

Interesting.

All right.

Hopefully, Glenn will be better and back on Monday.

Have a great weekend.

See you then.

This is Glenn Beck.
