Best of the Program | Guests: AG Austin Knudsen & Sen. Mike Lee | 8/16/24

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Did you know that Google can flip up to 25 million votes this next election?

Nobody's talking about it.

They're talking about this, what I believe is misdirection from Google

of the, you know, Kamala Harris, you know, playing with those sponsored ads.

Well, that's a problem because they're in charge of misinformation and they're sending misinformation.

But it doesn't, it's not the thing to worry about with Google.

We talk about it with Dr.

Robert Epstein, who is actually tracking what Google is doing in real time and he'll blow your mind on today's podcast.

Also, Mike Lee joins us and gold, at least during the time of the recording, was up 50 bucks.

Why do you suppose that is, Kamala Harris?

All this and more on today's podcast.

You're listening to

the best of the Blenbeck program.

Stu's in a mood today, so

drag the show down yet again.

He's in a mood,

and he's not in the same mood I'm in.

In fact, his mood is the exact opposite of my mood.

And,

well, America doesn't appreciate it, Stu.

Doesn't it's Friday?

Very happy.

I'm glad.

I think their country's going in a good direction.

I can't see any problems.

Right.

So, I'm going to go.

It's Friday.

We're supposed to do what every good American does on on Friday, and that is screw off.

Okay.

There you go.

And then Monday, we also have to screw off a little bit.

And not really to screw off.

Yeah.

Yeah, but recover from the weekend so you don't really put in the full effort.

All we need is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, three shows a week that are just solid.

The rest of them, you know.

And Wednesday's sort of hump day.

You can't really be expected to do good work on a Wednesday.

It's crazy.

And you're usually planning fun on Thursday.

So really, a Tuesday is a good you're going to get a good chauffeur.

At least once a week, you'll get a good chauffeur on us.

And today is not that day.

But

let me tell you that

we have the Montana Attorney General on with us.

He's

Austin Knutson.

I think it's, now I should have asked.

I can't remember.

Do you pronounce the K or not?

Austin, are you there?

Knutson, yes.

It is Knutson.

Okay, I thought it was.

So, Austin, you are going to talk to us about Biden Bucks, but I asked Stu, who's really up on things,

but he's in a mood, look out.

And I asked him, what are Biden bucks?

And he said, that could apply to a myriad of programs they're doing.

This one specifically goes to the executive order on

getting people out to vote.

Can you explain what Biden bucks are?

Yeah, I can, Glenn, and thanks for having me on and a pleasure to contribute to your screw-off show.

Okay, good, good, good, good, good.

Right.

So don't worry about the facts.

You can kind of get a little loose with them today.

Yeah, good.

It's Friday.

Yeah,

we picked the name Biden Bucks because this is like Zuckerbucks.

What you have here is the Biden administration wanting to get involved.

In what sounds kind of innocuous, right?

They want to get out the vote.

We want to make it easy

for folks to vote.

So what this executive order back in 21 did is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris directed the administration and all their executive agencies

to, every time there was a federal, touch on a citizen to provide them voter registration information and ways to get registered to vote and information about voting.

And no directive, really, if this was between just federal elections or state elections or local elections

and some really egregious stuff here.

But here's what this comes down to, guys.

And you guys know this.

That's not a constitutional power given to the federal government.

States regulate their own elections, period.

That's been long-standing federal law.

That's been long-standing constitutional jurisprudence.

This is a job that your local election offices, and more importantly, your state secretary of state's office handles.

This is a power grab.

This is pure partisan politics, and

it's bad news.

So, what are you doing in Montana to stop this?

And what should we be doing?

Well, I got with eight of my Republican Attorney General colleagues, and we've sued.

It took us a little while to get all the information and

to do the homework on this one.

But this was egregious enough that we decided the only thing we could do is sue in federal court.

Oftentimes, that's the only arrow in our quiver, Glenn.

But

we've sued in federal court in Kansas.

We've asked

the federal district judge to block this executive order, to enjoin it, and ultimately to throw it out.

So did you get a chance to actually read?

Did you get a chance to actually read the executive order?

Because Congress has been asking for this executive order from almost the day that it was issued, which was the first week in office, and they won't ever share it with anybody.

Did you see it?

We've seen portions of it, but what we have seen is some of the federal agencies' own implementation policies for this executive order.

Because you're right.

I mean, this goes back all the way back to House Resolution 1.

The federal Congress

has not ever done this.

I mean,

this is a liberal Democrat panacea.

They have wanted this so bad

for so long, but specifically since Donald Trump got elected, the idea here with Democrats in D.C.

is, well, we'll just take over national elections.

It's never been done.

People might not know that, but that's a state function.

So some really disturbing stuff we've seen in the implementation.

Probably the scariest one,

the Department of Justice, the Federal Department of Justice, is registering felons to vote.

Well, the problem with that, Glenn, is that's illegal in Montana.

We do not allow felons to vote in Montana.

So we've already got a conflict here between this executive order and the federal level and our state law.

So

we really didn't have a choice here.

So, Austin, tell me how this is going to work out.

Because, I mean, because they've stonewalled for so long and we couldn't find any information on what they were doing.

I mean, I've been on this since the first week of the Biden administration.

and

nobody could get any information.

Now, here we are in August.

We're, what, 12 weeks away.

By the time you get into federal court, September, maybe,

what can be done?

Well, we're hoping to get a rapid

injunction here.

That's the hope, is that we get this in front of a federal judge and we can get a restraining order and

an injunction quickly here before too much damage is done.

That's what we're after here.

So that's why we've moved as fast as we have.

Hopefully fast enough, but that's what we're asking this federal judge for.

Boy, Austin, I gotta tell you,

it is really hard to believe in our system of voting.

It is really hard.

Because it seems to me that everything

that can be done to

I mean, if you were designing a program to to convince people that your vote didn't matter I think you'd pretty much do everything that they have done in the last eight years

and you know we talked about corruption we were we were penalized by social media because we six months ago talked about hey there are back doors in these voting machines and we were penalized and said it was false news fake news you know misinformation yada yada so they suppressed all of that.

And then the group that always does these, you know, every year they do a,

what do you call it, when they, when they get all the hackers into one place and they try to hack into the voting machines.

And they said, it's easy and it's happening and reported the same thing we reported.

But now, conveniently, it's too late to do anything.

I'm very concerned about the vote.

Yeah.

The good news about it, Glenn, for me is people are paying attention.

I mean, and and people are really concerned about this.

I can't go anywhere and do any kind of a talk, an event, a speech, a rally.

It doesn't matter.

This is what people are talking about just everywhere I go.

People are paying attention.

The word is out.

There's a lot of concern out there with the American people over their vote, over the security of the election.

And I think that's what is bringing all this attention to it.

Now,

we have to be diligent.

I mean,

we have to keep up the fight.

We can't just roll over here.

I can't just tell people, well, just trust us.

It's all going to be fine.

That's my job.

I mean, we have to make sure that Montana's rights

are not being violated here.

So, I mean, that's what's led us to do this stuff.

And the great thing is, it's not just me.

You've got a lot of other really great Republican state attorneys general who are also fighting this fight.

On another

unrelated topic,

can you do anything to arrest Kevin Costner for not finishing Yellowstone?

Well,

if I'm being real honest, I mean, Montana's kind of tired of that.

We're a little tired of that show.

Our legislature lets the movie tax.

Well, our legislature let the movie tax credit expire.

That's why this last season is not even going to be filmed here.

So, and I don't know.

It sounds like Mr.

Costner had some of his own personal stuff going on.

Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

But look into the arresting him thing.

Just look into that.

I'm just saying.

I want the ending.

Let's see if I can compel here.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

Really, you were sick of that because I think that made, well, I mean, you know, wait a minute.

They went over state lines.

The train station was over state lines.

So, yes, they might have been killing people in Montana, but they buried them someplace else.

But I think that just made the state look beautiful.

And unfortunately, if I were in Montana, I would be saying, yeah, it looks a little too beautiful.

Now we're going to get all these, now it's going to turn into Jackson Hole.

It's already happened to Bozeman.

I don't recognize Bozeman.

I went to college there.

I lived there when I was a kid.

That town is completely, completely Jackson hole.

Jeez, I hate that.

All right.

Thank you so much, Austin.

I appreciate it.

That's the Montana Attorney General, Austin, Austin Knutson.

I got to tell you,

what?

He was funny.

He was just like...

He's great.

He's great.

I love it.

Have you ever been to Jackson Hole?

No, I don't think I have.

It is really beautiful, but they've just destroyed it.

It's like New York City now, and it's all these liberals.

And so now they, you know, it's because it's such a big county, they really have sway

in the vote for Wyoming.

And every time I come here, we moved to a place that literally has 400 people in it

and the next biggest town over is is the home of the first nighttime rodeo

ever in the country

and the county fair is happening today and there's pig wrestling last night and I think they're playing cowboy poker tonight which is you get people to sit around a poker table in the middle of the arena and then they release a bowl and the last person seated at the table wins.

But that's kind of fun we have.

And you don't have that in Jackson Hole.

You know what I mean?

You don't have any crybabies going, oh, he could get hurt by the bull.

Yeah, well, he knew that when he got into the ring, so leave him alone.

You got to move into a farming community if you're going to move someplace.

Move into a farming community.

Telling you.

Farmers, they know where it's at.

They got it down.

And you know what?

It's so weird.

I think that's where we went wrong as a nation.

We got away from the agricultural backbone of this country.

And when you're on a farm, you don't have to talk to your kids about the birds and the bees.

They see it all the time.

Daddy, why is that cow on top of the other one?

Well,

look what happens to the cow on the bottom, you know, in just a few months.

Oh.

You see everything and you understand how nature works and how everything is dependent really on God.

You can be the greatest farmer in the world, but if if it doesn't rain,

you lose.

And that,

you know, there are things out of your control that, you know, that's not fair.

Well, life isn't fair, is it?

You can be the best farmer in the world and go bankrupt.

And most

farmers do.

But you can be the best farmer.

If it doesn't rain, it doesn't rain.

And that, in turn, teaches you to be a good neighbor.

I just think we should go back.

There's a lot of that I like.

Damn electricity.

That's I think where I'm landing on this because you're right.

The lessons learned, the foundations provided by that type of upbringing and life really does bring you,

create character, right?

It really creates the type of character that America was built on.

But I mean, like, Outer Mongolia is still a farming community.

Like, I don't want to go back to it.

I don't want to go to it.

No, Outer Mongolia.

Right.

Like, you know, I've got to be, yes, I have to be.

I don't have to be, but my wife has to be 30 minutes from a Costco.

Okay.

Right.

That's when we're moving someplace.

She's like, is it within 30 minutes of a Costco?

If it is, great.

By the way, kiss Costco's goodbye if Kamala Harris gets her way on this price control thing.

You won't be able to have Costco's.

So you're going to vote Kamala Harris.

You're going to love it.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

I want to talk to you a little bit about our sponsor, Good Ranchers.

Labor Day is right around the corner and that means, you know, going out and having a barbecue.

And it also means more amazing deals from Good Ranchers.

Right now, when you subscribe to any of their boxes, you're going to get a free add-on for an entire year.

That's full year of chicken breasts, Angus ground beef, applewood bacon, or wild-caught salmon with every order for free.

If you use my name, Glenn, G-L-E-N-N, you'll also get $25 off your first box and free free express shipping.

That's up to $400 in savings.

And you can do a one-time purchase if you'd like.

But if you're anything like me, you're going to want to start a subscription.

You will save in the long run.

It's Good Ranchers, the place to get steaks, burgers, chicken, pork, and seafood.

And they source it all from ranchers here in America.

Top quality meats at a great price.

Goodranchers.com.

That's goodranchers.com.

Go there now.

Use the promo code Glenn.

Comrades, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're going to get some really good Soviet policy if Harris wins.

We might get a good national anthem out of it because Soviets had the best national anthem, but, you know, they had to murder people to get it, I guess.

Gold today is up 50 bucks.

It's now over 2,500, hit 2,500 for the first time in history.

And it happened in the eight hours after she said, you know, price control's good.

You want to know, Stu, answer the question, what is gold a hedge against?

I would say inflation, but also insanity.

Yeah,

I always say insanity, but it is a known forever, a known hedge against inflation.

It goes up that much and hits 2,500 for the first time in history,

right after she says that, you know how good she's going to be for inflation.

Okay.

What do rich people know that you don't know?

I don't know.

Well, they know about gold.

Have I mentioned Lear Capital?

This is not a commercial, but you should call Lear Capital today.

You should.

Okay.

Because it's only going to get worse.

The more it looks like she could win,

the more expensive gold is going to get.

Mike Lee is with us,

senator from the great state of Utah.

Hello, senator.

How are you, sir?

Look, I'm doing great.

And, you know, what a great way to start the segment with the Soviet national anthem.

See very good timing, doesn't it?

Yeah, it's really great.

Well, you got to get used to that.

What do you think of the price controls?

I saw your thread last night.

It's fantastic, Mike.

Tell me about price controls.

Thank you.

Yeah, I was talking about that on my base, Mike Lee account on X.

Look, price controls are really bad.

They're really good if what you want to create is scarcity.

If what you want to create are black markets.

If what you want to create is a federal government that's in charge of distributing assets, distributing goods, who gets what.

But they're absolutely terrible for every other reason, including in especially alleviating the pressure put on the poor and middle class by a federal government that spends too much and regulates oppressively.

So, you know, other than that, it's great.

You know, what is amazing to me is how willing they are to throw grocery stores under the bus.

The average grocery store

profit was 3%

in 2020.

3% was the profit.

Their profit now is down to 1.8.

So for every dollar that goes through that store, they only take almost two cents from that dollar.

That is the average profit is about 8%.

So anything over 8%, you're really doing well on profit.

Theirs is 1.8, and she's accusing them of gouging.

Farmers are going out of business, and she's accusing them of price gouging.

It's obscene what she's saying.

No, it literally is.

And in fact, almost anytime you hear a politician say the word gouging or price

they're almost always talking about something that involves getting the government involved in what is fundamentally a market decision.

It must always be a free market decision.

Not because you are calloused to the needs of the poor and those hardworking people who are living paycheck to paycheck, but because you are in tune with those needs.

Because I'll tell you this, Glenn, the only thing that will put pressure on prices is itself competition.

And when you start talking about price gouging, that leads to price controls.

We start talking about price controls.

That guarantees prices will never come down.

And it guarantees, more critically, that you will be perpetuating whatever it is that's causing this price pressure.

Yes.

Causing the problem with hardworking people.

Yeah, you'll have scarcity like nobody's business.

I mean, that's why the Soviet Union, you know, didn't have anything on the shelves of their stores.

You go into the grocery store, there was nothing there.

You'd have to stand in line for toilet paper or milk.

And, you know, you could stand in line for three hours and then they could say all the milk is gone and you would go home with nothing.

It is, it's, it's really, really bad.

And she is,

I said this on Wednesday before she announced this, and it's the only way I could describe her.

I said, she is the Hugo Chavez or the Maduro

of America.

If this, if she gets in, we will become Venezuela.

Yeah, and look, Venezuela was a prosperous country a few decades before they got involved in this whole hog socialism thing.

And I'm sure she'll tell us, and I'm sure the Soviets told their people with the breadlines.

Oh, they're waiting in breadlines.

That's purifying.

That's good for the soul.

Americans know better.

We're not going to do this.

We can't make this choice.

And if we do, it'll be one of the worst choices we've ever made.

So, Mike,

you and I talked about getting out of NATO.

I mean, we could have just called each other, but we did it over X this week

because

when we saw the

European countries start to say, hey, ex Elon Musk, you can't talk to that presidential candidate.

When he offered it to Kamala Harris and she turned it down,

it's interesting to me that they would have the balls to do that to America,

which shows me that

You know, we may not have been involved, but we didn't mind them doing that.

uh and there's so there's a couple of questions here one is you know were we involved in encouraging that at all and the second thing is is this is the problem with all of this globalist stuff they now can pass laws in europe that will affect us and we're all going down the same road and it's a road to hell

No, it certainly is.

And look, as I said on Next the other day, that was fun, by the way, having that communication program.

It was.

But

look, as I pointed out on X the other day,

I find it unfathomable that we didn't have somebody on the inside of the U.S.

government, of the Biden administration, that is to say,

that didn't either encourage or at least tell them that it was okay to say that.

And let's remember what it is that we're talking about.

The EU's attempt here was essentially to extort Elon Musk

to tell him, we're going to regulate the heck out of you, we're going to fine you, we're going to do whatever

punishing the EU can do,

if in fact you air this interview with Donald Trump, because that could expose European citizens to misinformation.

Now, I think we have to view that, Blunt, as something that fundamentally changed our relationship with these long-standing European Union allies.

22 of the 27 countries that belong to the EU also belong to NATO, and they've been writing on our big fat checks and our big fat security assistance for decades, which we've disproportionately provided to them.

That puts us on the line, puts U.S.

blood and treasure on the line if they get attacked.

So I think in moments like these, we need to start to reassess our relationship with them as far as trade, as far as our military alliance and otherwise, because this is messed up.

They weren't really worried about what this would do to European citizens.

They were trying to meddle, interfere with, and influence the outcome of the U.S.

presidential election.

And that's bad.

That's not something allies do to us.

But it's not, you know, it's not coming just from the EU, Mike.

All of this stuff, remember, the World Economic Forum, their number one thing they said they had to address this election year in the world.

There are more people going to a ballot box than any other time in human history this year.

And the politicians were starting to sweat because the WEF and all of their things have been exposed.

The effects are starting to be felt.

And so the number one thing over global warming or anything was misinformation.

And Klaus Schwab said, we have systems for this and everybody has to play their part.

And politicians don't get weak need.

Trust the system.

And that's what's happening.

They're all in on this with the WEF.

This is not just a few people's idea.

This is the governments around the world going rogue.

Do you agree with that?

Yes, I do.

Because remember that the European Union has these 27 countries that belong to it, 22 of which are NATO member states.

Now, some people now are trying to say, oh, this was just one rogue commissioner, theory Breton,

France, representative of the EC.

No, nonsense.

They were all just fine with that.

They were all on board with it completely, just as I suspect people in the Biden administration probably gave them the okay if they didn't encourage it themselves.

This is what they do.

This is the kind of crap that they pull.

Why?

Well, because they're all on board with all of the WTF stuff we see coming out of the WEF, and it's got to stop.

Can I ask you on the same subject, this monkeypox thing?

You know, we got bird flu and monkeypox right before an election, and the WHO issued a global emergency order.

Are we going to go through COVID stuff again?

Over my dead body.

And look, Americans are going to put up with this crap.

I don't know if you saw the reaction when the WHO, the World Health Organization, put up that advisory the other day.

There was just a widespread outcry.

No, we're not falling for that.

You can't pull that trick twice.

Nonsense.

This has so many other differentiators, so many other reasons why this is not the same

as COVID.

We shouldn't have fallen for that the same way we did.

We're sure as heck not going to fall for this one.

I have to tell you, you know, we've grown up in an atmosphere.

You and I both,

I'm a little older than you.

In fact, probably a lot older than you.

And I'm looking at everything

that's going on.

And I've heard every election my whole life.

This is the most important election in our history.

It's so important.

important.

This is kind of it, isn't it?

This is like last call, guys.

Are you going to go with socialism?

And I kind of like the fact that I wish they would just be honest about it a little more, but their records show.

And, you know, Tim Walls has said, you know, one man's socialist is

another man's neighborliness.

They've shown who they are.

And if America will look, we have an honest choice here between socialism and capitalism and

the American way of life and this new world order kind of way of life this is kind of it isn't it

this is it and that's one of many reasons why it's so important that we make sure that only American citizens are voting in U.S.

federal elections and we've got legislation that I've introduced in the Senate that Chip Roy is pushing in the House it's called the Save Act you can find out about it at a website that we've set up specifically for that purpose Passetesaveact.com.

PassthesaveAct.com.

This is a bill that we're talking about that would require in order to register to vote in a federal election, you'd have to prove that you're a U.S.

citizen.

Something that we've all long assumed is the case anyway.

But the Supreme Court a few years ago interpreted a federal law, stupidly in my view.

But they interpreted a federal law as saying that they can't require you to prove that at the time of voter registration if you're registering through the motor voter law.

The SAVE Act would stop that and impose criminal penalties for giving a ballot to somebody who's not a registered.

Do we have time to do this, Mike?

And is there a chance that it'll be passed and signed?

There is, I think, one path that we could do it.

We attach it to a spending bill.

Congress is going to have to confront a spending bill between now and the end of September.

When we reconvene in September, I hope that we can attach the SAVE Act to the spending bill and say, this is part of funding government.

This is one of the conditions.

We have to make sure that only U.S.

citizens can vote.

The only way that will happen is if people really rise up, you know, and just

social media spread it, the phones to Congress, and it becomes a big thing.

And it should with the conservatives, I think, you know, and I and I really believe the average Democrat, you know, I talked to a guy who was big in the Democratic Party or a big donor in the Democratic Party a few years ago.

And he said,

you guys and you're no ID for voters.

And I said, excuse me.

And he said, well, you guys have been pushing that forever.

And I'm like, no.

You guys have been pushing that.

We're the ones for

ID.

And he was an educated guy.

He just wasn't, you know, in politics all the time.

He was an educated guy, a smart guy.

And he was like, really?

That's us?

And I'm like, yes, dude.

Yes.

Yes.

Most people are for it.

Mike, thank you so much.

God bless you.

Thanks, you, Glenn.

It's good to be with you.

Yeah, but good to talk to you.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Deck program.

We don't have our guest on yet.

Okay.

All right.

Well, we're just going to sit here and wait.

That's not.

That's not how the business is.

It's Friday, man.

Friday.

Everybody's screwing off.

Everybody, I mean, I have worked almost two hours now, okay, with only a break about every 10 minutes for five minutes.

Every 10 minutes, I take a five-minute break, and you try to keep up with that, okay?

Just tired.

It's a really, the pace you put yourself on and the arduous life you live is something that will be studied in future.

Well, yeah, really?

You're mocking it.

You try it.

You try it.

Okay.

Well, not you in particular.

Right.

I mean,

other people that don't know how easy this job is.

Right.

They should try.

It is important to note that life has become much easier

since the farming,

since everyone had to farm and get their own food.

It has become much easier.

That does create some problems, but

it does.

It does.

Because then we start going, you know what?

They're not delivering my food fast enough.

I got it in 10 minutes.

I called.

I just got on a nap and I ordered food.

You know, I'm sick of it.

Okay, Dr.

Epstein is on, so

we can talk to him now.

Doctor,

how are you, sir?

How are you?

Robert, John.

It's Glenn.

Pretty stressed out.

How are you?

You're stressed out?

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's Friday.

Yeah.

So we just wanted to talk to you.

This stuff with Google that's been in the news this week is, I think,

is a giant nothing burger because

it is that that it is

that happens all the time.

However, my problem is with the administration, not necessarily with Google.

The administration is saying that we are avoiding, you know, we're the guardians against any kind of misinformation.

And yet they're making, they're putting misinformation out into the system.

But that's not illegal yet, and Google is fine.

You are the guy who has been on the trail of what Google is actually doing.

So we're not distracted by stories like this.

What is Google actually doing to change the election right now?

Well, the key word here is distraction.

So I'm glad you mentioned that because

I think Google itself is actually

spreading these nothing burgers.

It's actually distracting us because they don't want us looking at what they're really doing.

So what they're really doing.

So wait, hold on just a second.

You think this is actually coming from Google and they're the ones spreading it.

Absolutely.

Of course.

They determine, remember, they determine what goes viral and what doesn't.

They have total control over that.

So if people are really talking about stuff,

you know, it's because they're spreading that information.

They're like magicians.

They're saying, look over here,

look over here, because they don't want you looking at them.

Now what are they?

Go ahead.

We are looking at them.

So we have built the world's first,

and this is, by the way, with the help of your audience several years ago, we have now built the world's first nationwide

digital monitoring system.

So if people go to America's Vanessa, AmericasDigitalShield.com, AmericasDigitalShield.com, they can actually see a public dashboard where you'll see the data that we are collecting 24 hours a day right now from a politically balanced group of more than 15,000 registered voters in all fifty states.

And we're actually looking at the real content that Google and other companies are sending to registered voters and to children, by the way.

So we're seeing what they're really doing, what they're really sending.

We're seeing their manipulations.

We're seeing the political bias in their content.

And it is staggering.

So just to tell you,

quick example here, right this minute, Google is sending registered to vote reminders to Democrats at two point five times the rate they're sending them to Republicans.

Now

look at that's called targeted messaging.

That's right on their home page, which is seen more than 500 million times a day in the U.S.

So that targeted messaging costs them nothing.

And those messages are going to turn into

partisan mail in your ballot reminders, and then they're going to turn into partisan go-vote reminders.

And we're capturing all of that now.

So we're actually capturing

the evidence.

I am looking at your website, and this is amazing.

I wasn't aware of the website.

Looking at the dashboard, you have elections likely flipped by Google,

and these are actual election results.

You say in 2020, Joe Biden was the winner.

Then in 2022, Arizona governor Katie Hobbs was flipped with

50.3%.

Raphael Warnock, he was flipped.

Tony Evers, that was flipped.

The two-senate majority flipped.

Then you go down to with the results without Google's interference.

The winner in 2020 would have been Donald Trump.

The governor of Arizona would be Kerry Lake.

Herschel Walker would be in.

Tim Michaels would be in in Wisconsin.

U.S.

Senate would be a 2 to 8 seat majority for the Republicans if it wasn't for Google.

And the House, a 27 to 59-seat majority.

That's incredible.

Well, that's not

it is incredible, and it's actually the truth because we have gotten so good now at figuring out what they're doing,

which again,

they don't want anyone looking at them, but we're not only figuring out what they're doing, we're actually now capturing the real data.

And we're working with federal and state officials around the country, with AGs,

with public interest groups, election integrity groups

to figure out how we can use this massive database that we're collecting to put more and more pressure on them to stop, to get out of our elections and get away from our kids.

This is amazing to see.

I see that you're monitoring Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, et cetera, et cetera.

What are you expecting to find in YouTube?

Yahoo!

What are you expecting to find on these?

Well, YouTube, we know for sure,

because we've gotten really good at monitoring YouTube.

What YouTube is doing is, you know, those recommendations that they make, and especially that want to copy up next video that plays automatically?

Okay,

two things you need to know.

Number one,

according to literally Google officials and whistleblowers both,

70% of the time that people are watching videos on YouTube around the world,

those videos were recommended by Google's Upnext algorithm.

70% of the videos, 70% of the time people are watching videos, they're watching recommended videos.

So in other words, those recommendations have tremendous power over people.

They determine what people watch.

The Upnext video plays automatically.

If you pick no video at all, it just plays automatically.

So that's power.

That's incredible power.

And the second thing you need to know is that what we're doing is looking at the political bias in the videos.

We look at the news sources that they come from.

And we're finding extreme political bias always in one direction.

That is always in the liberal direction on YouTube.

And that has no effect, by the way, on people who have strong opinions, but it has a big effect on the undecided voter.

That's the key here.

I have to tell you, Robert, that I'm so thrilled for the success of this and how you've built this out.

I know you still take donations, so just go to Americans, America's DigitalShield.com and look at the information that he has.

And I'm glad to hear that some people are starting to take this seriously.

I was talking to somebody the other day about Netflix and about AI,

and

the guys at Netflix said that

their AI, their understanding of their viewers is so strong that they've turned it down because

they said that people would find it uncomfortable because it would be right all the time.

And with AI, what can be done to individuals, because you've talked about this with the

with the way that there's no tracking of it.

There's no way to track.

You can turn an individual one way or the other quite easily, right?

Oh, yes.

And as a matter of fact, in fact, we just

submitted a new paper for publication on what we call DPE Digital Personalization Effect, which is literally, literally, people can look at the manuscript at digital personalization effect.com.

And in this study, we're looking at what happens when they personalize content.

And

if they send biased content to someone who's undecided, that has a big effect, that produces big shifts in people's thinking and opinions and votes.

But if they personalize the content based on everything they know about you, that effect will triple.

It will triple.

And they have all that information about us.

They're surveilling us and our kids 24 hours a day, and they're personalizing the content that they send which maximizes the impact of these manipulations.
