You know, Stu and I just spent the last 10 minutes on, you know, things,

you know, just war gaming, things that.

You just outlined, you basically gave me a sequel to the purge that we're supposed to be living through soon.

And

a horror movie in action.

And you

there's a lot to do.

And you were like,

okay, I can see that.

The main story, the main theme of that at the end was like, we better prepare.

Yeah.

That was exactly what we did.

Prepare.

And we, yeah, and we got to the point where we survive, but we just have to prepare and, you know, pray on our knees and actually

do the things to help our families.

Stay calm, carry on.

It's compromise.

We gotta stay together

if we're gonna survive.

Stay the straight

and hold the line.

It's a new day, a time to ride.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, hello, America.

It is, I mean, it's an exciting day.

And the president is being juiced right now.

I mean, really probably on an IV bag and just being juiced right now so he can stay awake late enough to deliver the State of the Union address.

And I'm all a tingle.

I can't wait to see what he says about the economy, what he says about, you know, how safe our streets are,

how safe the world is,

why we should go to war with Russia.

But I'm really looking forward to that super, super exciting time of when he talks about the border.

One thing he won't be talking about is Jeda.

Jeddah.

I talked about it last night, and there's some important stats that I think you need to hear.

We'll share that in 60 seconds.

Also the State of the Union coverage coming up in just a little while.

We're covering it tonight.

All of us are watching.

You can get our coverage right.

You know, you watch it and

then we all are going to be responding to it tonight, right after the State of the Union on Blaze TV.

All right.

The most charitable read of the way the government is handling our economy is that they are absolutely incompetent.

That's the nicest way.

That's the best.

You know, they're just nice old people that just are, you know, in their twilight years and they don't have it all together and they don't understand.

I don't think that's what's happening with our economic upheaval.

According to a recent Business Insider article, this should tell you a lot.

Jamie Dimon, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg have all been selling stock in their own companies.

That's not a good thing, okay?

Your CEO is selling the stock of your company.

That's not good.

By the way, only a little bit of stock, only equaling $9 billion,

those three men sold.

Storm is coming, and Lear Capital is here to help you build shelter to withstand the storm.

All right, so we have a lot to concentrate on, but I want to bring you up to speed.

There is something wrong with the border.

You know this.

But to me, it is becoming more and more clear what the consequences are going to be without putting any blame on anybody.

But there is blame to go around on one thing.

Russia is not the biggest enemy.

China is.

China is.

There is a

there is the Chinese Communist Party

has

real sophistication when it comes to war against the United States.

And that's absolutely what we're engaged with.

This is Sun Tzu.

They are

rotting us from the inside.

They are supplying drugs like nobody's business.

They are in business with the drug cartels.

They are actually the big dog and the Mexican drug cartels are the second in line.

All of the drugs that are coming in, a vast majority of them, all of the fentanyl stuff, all of the ingredients come from China, are coming over here.

There's about, I think it's 5,000 Chinese workers just across the border.

They make it into fentanyl, and then they don't press it into pills.

They give it to the drug cartels.

They sold

the presses, because it's got to say, you know, Adderall or whatever on the pill, so people will be fooled by it.

And they gave the presses with all of the molds they sold them to the drug cartels at cost why would you do that you're not trying to make any money on that so they sold it at cost so now they're supplying the materials the presses and the drug cartels are pressing these things into

death death

Why is nobody talking about that?

Same reason we didn't talk about that spy balloon.

remember that spy balloon we just didn't know what it was spotted by a reporter in Montana it went over our major cities our nuclear bases some of the most

secret bases we allowed it to fly over but remember we didn't know if it had any technology on it

Well, December last year, the intelligence officials revealed that the Chinese spy balloon, get this, they knew it at the time,

used a US-based internet service to navigate

as well as to send high-bandwidth collections of data back to China as it was floating over America.

Remember they said there's no navigation.

Oh, yeah, yeah, there was.

They've just revealed that to us now after when nobody cares about it anymore.

That it did have navigation and it was using US internet to navigate and send all the information.

Remember, we shot it down so all that information is lost.

No.

No.

Last month, a FOIA requested by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project found 14 instances

since 2018 of Chinese nationals attempting to gain entry into our U.S.

military base at Pearl Harbor.

They also conducted surveillance including flying drones over the base.

Last September, a Chinese man and Chinese woman were found taking photos and video near Pearl Harbor security entrance before fleeing in a car with unidentified plates.

There have been 100

similar incidences in the recent years of Chinese nationals posing usually as terrorists who are trying to infiltrate our military bases all across the U.S.

U.S.

And thanks to our wide open border policy, China has a much easier way of getting spies into America.

This

should shock you.

In the first three years in office,

xenophobes, you just don't want brown people coming in.

During the first three years in office, over 133,000 Chinese nationals have been encountered at the U.S.

border.

30,000 since October.

Most of them are military-aged men.

These are the ones we encountered.

There are now more Chinese nationals crossing our border in San Diego than Mexicans.

I don't know.

That doesn't seem right.

Last week, three Chinese nationals were arrested trying to cross the border in Maine from Canada in the middle of the night.

A fourth was driving a car, arrested on suspicion of attempting to assist the others.

Last year, a Border Patrol memo identified 270 suspected properties in rural Maine that are used for illegal marijuana growing.

They're all operated by Chinese nationals.

All the money is funneled back to the Communist Party in China or to use as financing for other illegal activities, including drug and human trafficking.

In San Francisco, U.S.

sovereignty is being undermined in absurd ways, but it's San Francisco.

Law that was passed in 2020 that eliminates the requirement to be a U.S.

citizen to hold seats on city boards.

So last month, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors

unanimously appointed Kelly Wong to the city's election commission.

This isn't just any commitment.

This is the election commission.

She's not an American citizen.

She's been in the U.S.

since 2019.

So she's a immigrant rights activist.

from Hong Kong.

Okay, so she's, we have have the videotape of her giving a

statement after she was sworn in as the Board of Elections.

Okay

Now she may not have anything to do with the Chinese Communist Party, but what if someone in that position did?

San Francisco now has somebody who is not a U.S.

citizen, cannot legally vote in charge of supervising the elections.

Why?

Regardless of her national loyalties, her political loyalty is apparently left-wing because she works for a group called Chinese for Affirmative Action.

Now who funds them?

Well, according to their most recently published annual report, they are funded by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Google, the Tides Foundation.

And then there's this one,

the most immediately pressing threat to Americans, the Chinese government hacking operations.

Last year,

the Chinese military hacked into around two dozen U.S.

power and water utilities.

They hacked into communications and transportation systems.

They breached a water utility in Hawaii, a major port in the West Coast, an oil and gas pipeline, and attempted to hack into the Texas power grid.

How come, how come, what, what, what are we doing about that?

Despite these threats, In 2022, the Biden administration shut down the Chinese or China initiative.

What's the China initiative?

Well, it was an initiative started by Donald Trump at the Department of Justice.

It was to find and prosecute economic espionage

and to help stop the stealing of intellectual property by the Chinese government agencies.

Why

on God's green earth would you shut that down?

Why?

Well, left-wing activists said the program allowed the FBI to unfairly target Asian Americans.

In a little publicized story,

under oath,

Hunter Biden finally identified his father as the big guy, the recipient of that $5 million.

Under oath,

he identified his father

as the big guy.

That was Chinese money.

Now,

he went on to say, but everything else is a lie.

Everything else you're saying is a lie.

Is it?

I can't tell

because you said that was a lie for four years.

And now,

when you have Congress putting you under oath,

you admit that it, well, that part is true.

That money went to dad.

Why is our administration not doing anything about the border?

Why is Gavin Newsom going over and not talking about fentanyl?

Because I believe he surrounded himself with Chinese,

with Chinese operatives and Chinese money.

I think he doesn't want to answer any questions either.

That's why he went over to China and didn't point fingers at the Chinese, but talked to them about the bad fentanyl problem.

They are the source

of all of our fentanyls that are coming across the border.

They are the ones supplying all the chemicals, then making them here and giving them to the drug cartel to press them into pills, which their presses are from China.

So, what does all of this mean?

Well,

it means that

impeachment

is probably not enough for this crime.

But it's not just the Democrats, and it's not just the Bidens.

It's the Republicans as well.

Why is it that no one will point the finger at China?

Who's taking money from China?

China is our number one threat outside of the United States.

What they're doing with BiteDance and TikTok alone,

their own internal memos show.

They are rotting us from the inside intentionally.

Well, Donald Trump said, it's got to be sold off.

Why won't Republicans sign on?

Oh, well, you have some very powerful Republicans who are investors in bike dance.

Is that maybe why?

You know, it's one thing to not face our problems like the budget.

It's going to kill us.

It's one thing to say, wow, we are overwhelming the system by letting all these people in.

It's another to turn a blind eye to terrorists coming across the border and

not

saying

anything

about

how many Americans are being killed by fentanyl that is coming in

through that open border with the complete knowledge that all of those drugs are coming in from China intentionally.

Back in a minute with more.

Let me tell you about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

Out of the ashes of 9-11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has risen to the challenge of supporting America's fallen, injured, and homeless heroes and their families.

You know what I love about this audience?

You are such a giving people that when these,

I mean, I can't tell you how many people I've been approached to that are charities.

And they're like, could you raise money on the show?

And I'm like,

probably not.

But I've picked a couple because I believe in them.

I know what they do.

Tunnel to Towers is one of them.

And this audience, no matter what happens, you're always there to do the right thing.

And that just opens up our hearts.

And that's vital right now.

They have Gold Star, Fallen First Responders, Smart Home, Homeless Veteran programs.

They have their Never Forget programs.

They do all kinds of things all over the country on that.

They have the 9-11 Institute that works to educate kids from kindergarten all the way through 12th grade about what really happened that day.

So our kids aren't fooled on TikTok that maybe Osama bin Laden was right.

Please, join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good.

This all comes from you.

95 cents of every dollar goes directly to the program.

That is outrageously good.

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

That's t, the number2t.org.

10 seconds, station ID.

Welcome back to the Glenn Beck program.

The motivation is interesting here, and it's something maybe we can get into later.

But, you know, talking about this stuff,

why,

right?

Like,

why would China do all of these things?

Why would we react this way?

Why wouldn't we talk about it and alert people that this is maybe the biggest challenge we're facing right now?

They are so deeply embedded at all levels.

Our education system,

our media, definitely in Washington on both sides.

Nobody wants to bring this up because their dirty little secrets of getting money from Chinese and some of it directly from the Chinese Communist Party.

I don't think anybody wants to dig that one up.

So it's all like blackmail.

You know, they don't even have to threaten them.

They just know, crap.

i've been in bed with these people and we know um that the chinese government has been doing this intentionally for a long time setting up even low-level officials in these ways yeah josh rogan's book uh really covers that well there's a lot of efforts that have come down from the chinese government to make this happen but i mean they can't have everybody right like i mean how but who is in power that's going to further it they stomp it out look at what they did with donald trump when he said, China, bad.

China, look at what China's doing with the Wuhan.

That's China.

It's coming from China.

It was a lab.

What happened?

All the people that were involved in the money making

and had guilty, you know, conscience because their fingerprints were all over the Wuhan lab.

Look what they did to anyone who disagreed with that.

It's a powerful, powerful lobby.

Back in in just a minute.

All right, I want to tell you about my pillow.

We have the the best State of the Union coverage coming up tonight, Blazetv.com slash S-O-T-U, the code S-O-T-U, for $30 off your subscription to Blaze TV.

Wow, the New York Times has done some vigorous research and reporting on the State of the Union tonight.

They write, fueled by throat-soothing tea, guided by teleprompters and surrounded by six aides and one historian, President Biden spent hours at Camp David last weekend honing a State of the Union speech that will be watched by one of the biggest audiences before the November election.

Really?

Will it?

The final speech with aides say will be edited up until Mr.

Biden gives it will be delivered by a president under pressure to reassure voters that he's not too old for the job.

So they talk about

in the speech prep sessions.

Now, I want you guys to hear, we're joined by Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed.

Pat, I want you to hear, because this is different.

This is, I mean, listen to the rigor of this.

In speech prep sessions, Mr.

Biden goes through the material line by line.

Wow.

He marks up words and creates breaks to remind himself to navigate around a stutter he's had since childhood.

Oh,

if he lands on a passage that he does not think feels like something he would say, he marks it out.

Wait, what?

No.

Himself?

Himself.

One former speechwriter described this phase as an exercise in trying to capture Mr.

Biden's

ex temporaneous thoughts and put them down on the page.

That's the type of word he would skip.

Experts.

Yes, he would have have X'd that out.

Which, by the way, if he's doing it in advance, it's not extemporaneous.

Can we go ahead and notice that as well?

They're trying to capture that.

Oh, they're trying to capture that.

They're trying to capture that.

So basically, they're trying to fool us.

They said that the president works hard and rigorously each year,

adding that he knows it's his one chance to lay out an agenda every year for progress.

And show us just how vigorous he really is.

I can't wait to see that.

So he works vigorously once a year.

Is that what they're saying?

He works vigorously each year was the quote.

Yeah, okay.

I will tell you, now that incredible speech

prep session that they have

is what I like to call

speech writing.

I'd also say would you call it that speech writing, the fact that he's kind of correcting somebody?

The speech writing process.

I'd say this is done by

anybody who's ever spoken in public before.

Right.

And it's the last step in that process.

Like what you're describing is the final checkup.

He's not speechwriting.

No.

He's rehearsing.

Yeah.

That's right.

That's what he's doing.

I don't like this part.

Let me take that out.

Yeah.

That's the basic.

I'm going to have a hard time with that one.

So let's take out, let's take that.

Let me separate this sentence.

That's not speechwriting even.

That's part of the speechwriting process.

Yeah.

Which means there's also going to be three words that are spoken tonight because he has a hard time with all of them.

There's about three words he can say.

Very excited.

Except this particular thing.

I don't know what they do to him, but I think they, I mean, I think he's got a cocktail.

Mana.

He's fucked up on something.

Like crazy.

I agree.

And I will say,

of all the problems that Joe Biden has, the highest profile events are not his worst moments.

No.

Would you agree with that?

I mean, like, you know, he's almost like, a, you know, he gets up for the big games a little bit.

Now, I think drugs are probably involved in that process, but

his problems almost always are he's just like walking by, you know,

like an ice cream store and there's cameras there and he looks like a complete idiot.

Like it's not usually those big moments you'd say, okay, he's got to nail this.

Correct.

He's usually bad in those moments, but not catastrophically bad.

I think he will be tonight.

Do you?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't how it's.

Dr.

Nick has already been called.

Dr.

Nick, he's already been called.

He's probably got the IV running through him.

No, I'm sure.

I'm sure.

But this speech is usually almost an hour.

Sometimes it even exceeds that.

If he cuts it down to maybe five minutes, maybe he can get through that.

He can't get through an hour.

There's no way.

He did not get through an hour last year.

He was bad in the last half of that, but he got through the first 20 minutes or so okay

for him.

And that was enough.

Most people tuned out.

You know, I was listening to Corinne Jean-Pierre do an interview this morning, which is always an adventure.

And of course, first of all, they were saying, they asked a specific question.

Is he preparing for like hecklers?

Like if the Republican hecklers come out?

Oh, he's got some great one-liners, I'll bet.

There are massive amounts of reporting saying that he is.

Yes.

Right.

Of course, she denies it.

says

he is not doing that.

Yet another lie.

But they went back to, and what about last year?

He had that amazing response last year.

And I'm like, amazing response to the hecklers?

I don't even remember this.

They play it back.

He says,

the Republicans want to get rid of Social Security.

Republicans go, no, no, no.

No, of course.

I mean, I don't know if that should be the Republican position, but that's a side.

They go, no, no, no.

And he goes, oh, well,

I guess we all agree now

that Social Security is off the books.

That was the amazing.

That was literally the clip they pulled to highlight how good he is.

Now, I think what he was doing for was off the table.

Yes.

So it didn't even say the right thing.

Off the books?

What the hell are you talking about?

Of course, there's a lot of things off the books in Washington.

That's a problem.

I know you say that to Hunter all the time.

Make sure this is off the books.

This is supposed to be a different speech.

Okay, amazing.

Like, that's his good moment.

But I will say, compared to him on a daily basis, in these moments, he's been like a D minus instead of an F.

He's going to know how to get off the stage.

Tonight, he will know.

Probably.

He may well be.

He might need a little help, but he might be able to get off the stage.

Maybe.

With assistance, some kind of assistance.

They got just three stairs up to the, they put a chairlift in.

Just

awesome.

That'd be hysterical.

That would be funny.

That was the Bill Maher thing.

Did you see this the other day where Bill Maher's like, you should just lean into it?

Like, yeah, I'm really old, but I'm better than that guy.

Like, that should be his campaign.

And he should come out with one of the stair rail, the chair rails, and just like come up onto the stage.

That's funny.

You know what would do that?

Who would do that?

Donald Trump.

Donald Trump would lead into whatever.

Yeah.

He would make it into a joke.

He leans in.

He always.

He leans into it.

He lean into it.

Go for it.

Like when he's on with like Sean Hannity and Hannity's like, well, you would never obviously become a dictator.

Yeah, I would.

Day one.

I'm a dictator.

That's me.

Like, that is what he does.

Yeah.

He's a yes, and guy.

He's like when you go to improv class and they're like, never say no.

When they're in the middle of an improv class, say yes, and, and then come up with a scenario.

That's what he does.

Yeah.

He's like, yeah, no, I would totally be a dictator.

Let me tell you the 10 things I would do.

He leads in.

Problem is, they bought into that.

Anything he says,

they naturally pick up on, even when he's just doing funny red or angry.

So let me ask you this.

What

will he address?

Will he address the border?

And will it only be a blame on the Republicans?

Blame it on Republicans.

Yes, and yes.

Same thing with the economy.

Same thing with inflation, shrink.

And we're going to hear the 14 million job number that he's created.

Been fact-checked, by the way, to give the mainstream media credit, fact-checked him on that number a million times.

Same thing with the deficit number.

Yeah.

That it's a lie and at least a message.

How can he possibly say he's cutting the deficit when we are spending $1 trillion

over budget every 100 days.

He's a liar.

Okay, all right.

Yeah.

So it's very easy for him to do that because he doesn't care if it's true or not.

When you separate yourself from the truth, you can say almost anything.

And it's like the other day when he was asked about his poll numbers and how bad they are.

Check the polls, Jack.

Five in a row.

I'm beating him.

Five in a row.

Nobody can find one in a row.

Well, you can find one.

I mean, maybe one from a while ago, but mostly he's losing in almost every poll.

He has led in two recent polls over the past,

let's see, since.

Would you do me a favor?

Would you write?

Would you read those three times?

Australian guy got six in a row.

These are since the 21st of February, going back then, Trump plus six, Trump plus two, Trump plus four, Trump plus two, Trump plus four, Biden plus one, Trump plus four, Biden plus one, Trump plus two.

Those are the recent polls.

And he's obviously not winning.

It's just a flat-out lie.

Just flat-out plots.

Just a flat-out lie.

So what happens if Trump wins by two?

Oh, my God.

What happens if Biden wins by two?

I can't even imagine how the country reacts to a situation like that.

I mean,

that should be for all Nikki Haley people.

For all Nikki Haley people who are like, I'm just not going to vote for him.

I'm not going to vote for him.

You have to.

You got eight months here.

You got eight months.

Everyone needs to return.

I know.

I know.

And the people, like, if people are, if people, there are certain people who will never vote for Donald Trump.

If they are not across that line and they are leaning Republican, they're going to come back.

It's eight months of hearing Joe Biden.

Yeah.

I hope you don't freak out.

People freak out about like the Nikki Haley voter generally isn't even a Nikki Haley voter.

Most of them are just protest votes against Trump.

They're not big fans of

them are

Democrats.

Many of them are Democrats.

Many of them are are independents.

Now, of course, in a general election, by the way,

you need to get some independents and Democrats.

Some people need to.

A lot of people seem to forget that.

You do need those people.

I don't think the approach of just mocking and belittling everyone who didn't vote for you is necessarily the right approach here, but you got eight months and probably it all works itself out.

The question is, can you get the people who either didn't vote at all in these primaries or people who

are in the middle and are considering you can you win those people over do you think anybody's gonna be watching this tonight i mean other than the usual people like us that are really you know addicted to the news or in our case paid to watch the news yes uh i mean i just don't see this being a big audience i wouldn't if i didn't have to yeah i wouldn't it's too aggravating it it just enrages me so i would just skip it yeah i don't know i might that's why we're doing our coverage tonight yes the coverage tonight will will be really fun.

Glenn, you're going to be on.

We also have Dave Landau on.

Michael Malice is going to be on.

Sarah Gonzalez.

Jason Butcher will be on talking about a new documentary we're doing.

It's going to be a really fun.

It's a roast.

We're not doing like serial.

Let's get into the number.

No, we're going.

Well, we will fact check live as well, but we're going to be just mocking Joe Biden relentlessly.

Well, no, that's not right.

Unless he does a great job.

He almost got like one over by your mind.

It sounds like you know exactly how he's going to perform tonight and what he's going to say.

I tend to think the ratings will be a little bit up for this one because this is the first state of the unions in all the other years, the non-election years, are like, eh, those are for political nerds.

But we are getting into election season.

Everyone knows now what the matchup's going to be.

I think this one might be a little higher rated.

I would like to say this is going to be the highest rated, you know, this is what the White House or the New York Times said, the highest, the biggest audience he'll have until the November election.

That's possible because they're not going to cover anything else that he does long form.

This might be the longest form thing he does until the election.

I think you're probably right on that.

And I think, too, when you look at the ratings at the end of the day, you can't just add up what you see on the networks because not only, you know, we're doing coverage, I mean, Donald Trump is doing some alternate coverage now.

A lot of people,

this is getting a very wide split audience.

I would watch this, but I would watch it on police TV.

I would want to watch it be mocked.

Yeah,

I wouldn't be watching it on ABC.

No.

even Fox.

I just wouldn't be watching it.

There is a newly disclosed email that has now

come out on Hunter Biden.

It shows a Chinese businessman who partnered with Hunter Biden's Burnham firm was primarily motivated by access rather than financial considerations.

Wow.

Now, this just came out in the House Oversight Committee.

Emails recently obtained by

Just the News show Henry Zhao, the owner of the Harvest Fund Management in China, was interested in the partnership because of the access the firm could provide him rather than

other things.

And this was being sold by Hunter Biden's firm.

There is a memo that, or I'm sorry, a letter that was supposed to go to Henry Zhao from

Hunter Biden.

Let me read it to you.

We're excited with the prospect of being able to work side by side with Harvest by way of globally recognized platform.

Please pass along my regards to Henry and let him know that

what we discussed during our last lunch together in Beijing still holds true.

Rosemont Seneca is going to be folded into Burnham Harvest Entity as soon as the deal closes, thereby giving us all the solid, well-regarded global platform from which we can conduct our mutual business.

Okay, sounds fine.

Yeah, I mean, until you think about who you are talking to.

Yes, okay.

Michael, please also remind Henry of our conversation about a board seat for a certain relation of mine.

Devin and I golfed with that relation earlier last week.

We discussed this very idea again, and as always, he remains very keen on the opportunity.

Oh my God.

I mean, oh my God, I cannot believe they were this overt.

Now, wait, what?

So this last paragraph, this is the original draft, the last paragraph, all this whole thing was written by the firm, Hunter's firm, and then when it sent out, was sent out, they removed that last paragraph.

Knowing how bad that would look if someone ever saw it, right?

Yes.

And now we're seeing it.

Right.

So this is, this paragraph was written because the people in the firm thought that that was exactly what's going on.

How did they know about the golf with that certain relation?

The Glenn Beck program.

American Giant, our trade relationship with China is an absolute joke.

We give them open access to everything.

They are coming in here and they are stealing everything.

And they're trying to collapse us.

But let's talk about something positive that we can do about it.

There is a company that's doing something in a big way, and it's American Giant.

13 years ago, American Giant rescued a clothing company in North Carolina.

It was about to be shut down.

All the jobs were going to be lost.

Well, they came in, they bought the factory, saved, and then created more jobs, trained everybody.

So much has come from the hard work of the people at American Giant.

The cotton is from America, all the way down to the ink and the buttons and everything made here in America.

And they make the best hoodie you'll ever own and a lot of great clothing.

So you want to do something?

Start buying American.

All of it made here in America and put together in America.

It's America-giant.com slash Glenn.

It's a new day, a time to rain.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Well, things are being turned up to the boiling point and I want to show you what's being done.

Some of it is common sense.

Some people, like San Francisco, the voters came out and said, hey, you know what?

We're going to up the spending on police.

We think maybe we should start arresting people, you know?

So the voters have had enough, even in San Francisco.

But the politicians are still living in a dream world.

I'm going to start with Kathy Hochul up in New York, who just started putting the National Guard into the subway system.

Well, good.

Glad they're doing something here.

I'll tell you why in 60 seconds.

First, read an article today about this being the toughest time since the 1930s to be a Jew in anywhere in the world.

I don't know if you've been watching what's going on, especially up in Canada.

I mean, it is terrifying.

I'll give you a story.

I'll give you a story of one of the incidences that have happened in New Haven, Connecticut.

It's getting bad for Jews.

And the world, Canada, just decided they're going to start giving money back to the UN.

Remember the UN organization that was funding and paying salaries of people who were actually helping the terrorists kill people on October 7th?

Yeah, the world's decided, yeah, okay, well, I mean, we punished them for a little while.

It's been a couple of months.

Let's open up the purse strings again.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, these are the people that are committed to standing together.

Christians will stand with Jews.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, it's the IFCJ, and they are in the middle of it in Israel every single day.

They're distributing essentials like food and medicine and emergency supplies.

Hundreds of thousands of Jews have been displaced.

We need to help them.

Israel is in desperate need, and of course, we're airdropping things, you know, of course, to the Palestinians, but Israel they're on their own.

That's why I've partnered with IFCJ.

Every donation is urgently needed, and your gift is going to be matched to double the impact and help provide twice the support.

Support IFCJ.org.

Support IFCJ.org.

Go there now and give.

Supportifcj.org.

All right, so Kathy Hochl has decided that she's going to put a thousand National Guard troops to check bags in the New York City subway system.

Wow.

That's wonderful.

Crime.

in the subway is up 45%

year on year

45% increase.

Okay, so that's probably not, you know, really great.

So she sends in 750 uniformed National Guard soldiers with orders to search bags for weapons and other dangerous stuff.

So

isn't that stop and frisk, Stu?

I think that is.

So you have the National Guard

in the subways of New York.

I don't know if you notice, but the National Guard comes with big weapons and uniforms.

So they're in our subways, and that's going to help on crime by showing a military presence in New York.

You know, the first time I ever saw military presence in the United States off of a base was in New York, right after 9-11.

And there was martial law in the lower part of Manhattan.

You didn't go in or out.

And there were Humvees, and everybody was in uniform and had a machine gun.

It was ugly.

It was ugly.

And it was so disturbing to see that on the streets of America.

I'd never seen it before.

I don't know if people are just used to seeing this in New York.

I know they wouldn't elsewhere.

But we're not used to seeing the military policing in New York.

So they are going to be in the subways

and she says that's going to help you know with you know with with with crime in the subways.

Okay, well there you know there's another way to do that.

I don't know if she thought of this.

Listen to this story.

Four people were arrested in connection to three incidents of human remains being found on Long Island.

Okay.

This is just outside of New York City.

Police made the arrest after performing a search warrant on an apartment in Amityville shared by three of the suspects, 40-year-old Amanda Wallace, 44-year-old Stephen Brown, 38-year-old Jeffrey Mackey.

Investigations say they found human remains and cutting tools, including a used meat cleaver.

A fourth suspect was also identified as 33-year-old Alexis

Neves,

a homeless woman.

Now, the body parts apparently belonged to an unidentified

59-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man.

The names of the victims have not been released, but what happened was these guys somehow or another got a hold of these bodies.

Ooh, we just found two bedead bodies.

and hacked them all up and then went around in parks and just left a leg here, a hand here, a head over here.

It was like Easter egg for crazy people.

Easter hunting.

What else are you supposed to do in that situation?

Right.

I mean, if you're just walking around, you see a body somewhere, you're going to hack it up, you're going to leave it in various parks.

That's just what you're going to do.

All four, now remember,

Hochul is putting National Guard, kind of an extreme measure, in the subways.

All four were charged on Wednesday with first-degree hindering prosecution, tampering with physical evidence, and concealment of a human

corpse.

They all pleaded not guilty.

However, they have not been charged with the killing of the two victims, but the investigation is pending and more charges will be forthcoming.

So what happened?

They were charged

and then ordered to not leave Suffolk County.

And they're on supervised release now.

So, just people who are dismembering people.

They can walk, still walk around Suffolk County and do what they need to do with it.

They just shouldn't leave Suffolk County.

Right, and they're not going to.

Well, it's good because I mean, how else are you going to find these bodies, right?

You need people out there looking for these bodies to find them and hack them up and put them in different parks if they just happen to come across another one.

Let me ask you:

wouldn't it be better

to put the people who are charged with crimes, even grisly heinous crimes,

into jail and not let them right back out on the street?

I'm just saying, that's an idea.

Well, I think the problem with that idea is that bodies are going to pile up everywhere.

We are going to see this happening in Nassau County now that they can't cross the line.

What's going to happen over there?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Let me give another story.

Florida Sheriff says that he found evidence that illegal aliens were using federal flight vouchers in order to aid human trafficking across the U.S.

border during a law enforcement operation.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judge applauded his deputies for arresting 228 people during a massive multi-agency operation named Operation March Madness.

Sorry, Operation March Sadness 2024.

Among those arrested in the operation were teachers, coaches, medical professionals, active military service members, and 21 illegal aliens.

So at least there weren't the four people that were chopping people up in the park.

He came out and said, we have a crisis at the border.

And because of the crisis at the border, we have people that are victimizing illegal folks, forcing them into the sex trade.

Because we allow these criminals into the country illegally.

We all rail about it, but nobody does anything.

Judge said one suspect had brought three female illegal aliens to Florida from New York.

They said when they came into the country illegally, the DHS, Department of Homeland Security, gave them a form, an ID, paperwork, and allowed them to fly for free anywhere in America.

You know how Southwest Airlines will let your bags fly for free?

Federal government will let your illegal immigrants

fly for free, said the sheriff.

The victims said they were forced to pay back $3,000 to the female human trafficker under the threat of violence.

They tell us that they fly into major metro centers for free on the federal government's dime, whether they set up their appointment for set, and then they set up their appointments for sex all over the country.

So

we know this is happening.

As I told you last hour, we know fentanyl is coming in over the border and it's all done by China.

In fact, China just found this old recipe

and they're making it.

Now, it was discovered in the 1950s as a pain relief agent and doctors saw it because it is like first-time addiction and possible death.

When it's made in the lab under the right circumstances, they said there was no medical reason for this to ever be made.

And so it went back into the shelf of the pharmaceutical companies back in 1950 something.

And just guess who just found it?

China.

And so now they're making it, and they're making it for all of the lovely people that are coming across from the drug cartels into our country.

Isn't that great?

Is Biden going to talk about any of this?

Any of it?

He's going to talk about the border tonight in his

State of the Union address, and

he's going to blame it on the Republicans.

They just didn't want to solve the problem.

No, what you wanted to solve was

something we've debated about for decades now.

Do we just make everybody a citizen?

No, that's not what we were trying to solve.

We're trying to solve the invasion from the southern and now northern border from places like China.

But he's not going to talk about that.

He has to blame the Republicans because

when you talk about drugs and all the people that are dying of fentanyl, there's only one person to blame.

The Chinese getting into bed with the drug cartels intentionally doing an opium war on us.

And who's responsible for that happening?

Anybody who allows illegals and the drug cartels to rule our border.

That's the president.

But he can't say anything.

Get this.

Newly disclosed emails show a Chinese businessman who partnered with Hunter Biden's Burnham firm was primarily motivated by access rather than financial considerations, bolstering the House Oversight Committee's contention that the Biden name was the commodity.

Now,

this is quite amazing.

It was found Just the News is reporting this, and it was part of the testimony of the Oversight Committee.

And Hunter Biden had

business meetings with his firm

and

another firm run by, I think his name is Henry Zhao.

And they were looking to merge Burnham, that's his firm, with Harvest,

which is the Chinese Communist Party firm.

And they were going to get all kinds of access to the markets.

Nobody has ever been given this kind of access to Chinese markets before, ever.

Not Goldman Sachs, no one.

He got it.

And nobody was really asking why.

How did that happen?

So

the team, Hunter's team, wanted to let Zhao know that we're on track for some really good things and a kind of a thank you after this meeting.

Here is the letter.

We're excited by the prospect of being able to work side by side with Harvest by way of a globally recognized platform.

Please pass along my regards to Henry and

tell him that what we discussed during our last lunch together in Beijing still holds true.

And Michael, please also remind Henry of our conversation about a board seat for a certain relation of mine.

Devin and I golfed with that relation earlier last week and we discussed this very idea again and as always he remains very keen on the opportunity.

Now he also admitted under oath this last week that yes, the big guy is his dad.

This isn't this isn't some small crime.

There are 133 Chinese that have come across our border in the last three years.

30,000 of them since October.

We don't know who they are.

These are the ones we caught.

All military-aged men.

In fact, there are now more Chinese people coming in, not families.

Chinese guys coming in across the border in California than Mexicans.

And

are we doing anything to stop it?

No, no, no.

The Biden administration, for some reason, said,

Look, we just got to shorten this.

There's 44 questions that you have to ask, you know, if you're stopping a legal alien.

44 questions.

Let's narrow that down.

I think it's to seven, seven questions, from 44 to 7,

but only for the Chinese.

What?

Why?

You need to know that in the State of the Union tonight, he's not going to tell you anything that is real.

It's going to be blame,

but know that something is very, very wrong.

And when you talk about crime, he's probably going to say that crime has gone down.

Remember the National Guard that Hochul has just put into the subways.

Why would they do that if crime was going down, if crime was five?

What Republican has had anything to do with New York or Chicago in forever?

So how does that work?

How are cities collapsing under the weight because they are sanctuary cities?

How is that the fault of the Republican Party?

I'm not looking for fault.

I'm looking for someone to actually fix it.

And this administration is doing nothing but empowering all the people that would love to see us live in chaos.

Susan wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens.

She says, I'm happy to say my dog actually eats this product willingly.

I've tried many vitamins and probiotic supplements that she turns her nose away from and refuses.

So I tried rough greens.

It's the exact opposite.

Susan, thank you so much for listening and writing in and giving your dog rough greens.

I tell you from my own experience, Uno just gobbles this stuff.

He loves it.

Now, it's not a dog food, it's a supplement, in case you don't know, developed by naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black.

If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens, and you just sprinkle it on your dog's food.

They love it.

My dog wouldn't even eat.

And I couldn't get him to gain weight.

I can't get him to stop gaining weight.

The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love it, they have a special deal.

So there was a proposed Tennessee bill that would prevent banks from discriminating against people based on their political or religious views.

It advanced to the House on Tuesday amid national concerns that financial institutions are targeting conservatives.

This is a bill that we asked you.

Nobody knew about this bill.

They didn't know if it would get out of committee.

And you called.

I don't know if anybody covered this.

I know they didn't in Tennessee, but you called

in Tennessee, and it passed the Subcommittee on Banking and Consumer Affairs by a five to one vote.

That's partisan lines, but still.

The trend of freezing bank accounts based on your personal belief or your religious belief

is going to be, they're going to put a stop to it in Tennessee if it now passes.

the House and is signed by the governor in Tennessee.

So we'll continue to watch this, but it's HB 2100,

and it would prohibit all financial institutions from denying or canceling services based on a person's speech, opinions, affiliations, as well as a person's religious belief, exercise, or affiliations.

I can't believe we have to do this in America, but we do now.

So good move in Tennessee.

That means a lot.

There's There's a couple of other things.

Let me tell you about this.

Every year,

it seems to get worse and worse.

And I think there are signs of real hope.

And that hope is going to come from a miracle of people just realizing they've got to be who they really are.

Our moral compass no longer is working.

It's time for the men of this country to rise up and put on the full armor of God.

And this is why a host here on Blaze TV and really

just a guy who I think has been called Jason Whitlock, he has organized an event called Fearless Army Roll Call 2.0, brought to you this year by Pre-Born.

It's an all-day event in Nashville, Tennessee on June 1st.

It's going to bring men from all over the country together, united under a banner of godliness and responsibility.

It's going to encourage you to show love toward one another, do good deeds, as it says in Hebrews, and live a righteous life and be a good man that leads and stands.

So what's it take to make a valuable thing worth less?

You drag it across the floor and get it dirty?

Do you crumple it in your hands, tear the corners off, light it on fire?

Well, no, really what you do is you just keep printing more and more and more of them.

This is what our government and the Federal Reserve have done to the American dollar.

You can't count on it anymore.

Every 100 days, we are going deeper in debt to the tune of $1 trillion

over budget every 100 days.

Great state of the union coverage tonight, blazetv.com/slash S-O-T-U.

Use the code S-O-T-U and you will get 30 bucks off Blaze TV.

It could not be higher stakes for President Biden than tonight if people are actually watching the State of the Union.

He's not going to be judged just on what he says, but

can he actually say them?

He's got to look

vigorous and vital.

And that's what they're working on.

And they also want him to highlight the accomplishments.

And I don't really know what those are, so maybe it'd be best to highlight them for me, I guess.

To talk about this is

Senator Eric Schmidt.

He's just been elected from Missouri.

He was the Attorney General of the great state of Missouri and quite a fighter.

And God bless you, Eric.

Welcome back to the program.

It's great to be back with you.

Thank you.

So what are we expecting the president to say tonight?

And

how are the Republicans going to react?

Well, he doesn't have a whole lot to talk about as relates to his record.

There are not a lot of accomplishments that have actually improved people's lives.

You know, working families, essentially, Glenn, are paying $10,000 more a year for the same stuff as they were just three years ago.

When he came into office in

December of 2020, right at the end of President Trump's turn, we had the lowest level of illegal immigration in 40 years.

Now we have the highest level of illegal immigration we've ever seen, including 9 million people here who've come here since then illegally.

And our energy policy is, you know, it's just been a total disaster for people.

Instead of being energy dominant, we've weakened ourselves from export capabilities to just being energy dominant around the world, right?

And so there's not a lot to talk about.

So my guess is he's going to resort to fear-mongering, right?

I mean, I joke there ought to be a drinking game for every time he says extremist MAGA Republican, this whole town in D.C.

would be drunk 10 minutes in, probably.

So I don't know what he's going to do other than try to scare people.

It's all he has left.

And,

you know, Dark Brandon is probably going to come out on the speech, I'm guessing.

That would be

revealing to some, I guess.

Not surprising.

The White House said he is going to highlight his historic accomplishments on issues, listen to this, on issues ranging from infrastructure spending to scrapping junk fees.

Now, I mean, I don't know about you, but those are historic.

I spend more money than anybody else, and I scrap junk fees, you know, from things.

Yeah, they,

what's really happening, Glenn, is

the people who wrote white papers a decade ago or longer about

whether it's open borders or this sort of climate alarmist agenda that fuels the ESG movement, which I know you've talked about really almost before anybody else, quite frankly,

that this just almost religious devotion where there's like sort of animal sacrifice involved now.

They want to kill cows because of emissions.

It's very bizarre.

And what's happened now is the policy has lined up with this sort of theoretical discussion among these people.

And now we're seeing the results.

So I actually think it's really instructive for people to compare the record from three years ago to now because people are really seeing what it looks like when the left has the levers of power.

And it's not good for people.

And I think as Republicans, our response would be, we should have an unabashedly pro-American agenda.

just let's just strip it down.

Let's make sure working people are making more.

Let's stop sending our jobs over to China because we want those materials to build EVs there's not a market for here.

You know, just let's let's let's secure our border.

Let's be energy dominant.

I think that is what people want to see.

There's so many people, Glenn, that they, these are the people I represent.

They're everywhere in this country that they work hard, they play by the rules, and they love America.

And they're constantly being told they're the problem.

And I don't agree with that.

I reject that.

And I think most Americans do.

And so Biden, again, is going to try to wishcast tonight and blame other people.

But people are smart enough to recognize, which is why his approval rating is in the 30s.

So I have to ask you a question because I don't think we talk about any of the real stuff.

We don't talk about China.

I've been harping on this for the last few days.

About how China is actually

making the raw chemicals, bringing them over, mixing them with a thousand

Chinese in a town just south of our border, mixing them into fentanyl then they sold the drug cartels the presses so they could press them into pills so all of this is happening with china uh and our border they are pumping poison in he's going to talk tonight about how he's you know fought against the fentanyl uh but he hadn't done anything with china and with the real problem on what's going on in our border and again on the border he's going to make this about, oh, the Republicans, you know, they just wouldn't do a comprehensive package.

No, sir, you have let people in.

I really fear a

massive terrorist attack on

our land and possibly soon.

Well, I'll give you a startling number.

In just California alone in the last four months,

you think about

the countries of origin of people who've come here illegally illegally and been released into the country.

China's number two, 21,000.

We've never seen those kinds of numbers ever before from a place like China.

They're coming from all over the world.

And you're right.

They are importing poison, and the cartels are being enriched.

They have lanes for human trafficking and drug trafficking that's well established.

And they're getting rich off of this, and Americans are dying.

And I just, and I think, again, this is why the immigration issue, illegal immigration, is so seminal right now.

People don't get it.

They don't understand how an American president can't be up in arms about this.

It's a core thing that I think strips away some of the red jersey and blue jerseys we wear on some issues.

Like,

this is our border.

These are our people dying.

How is it that you care?

And it's also a disconnect on Ukraine.

How is it that you are obsessed with sending another 61 billion there when this is happening right here?

So I think it really, Glenn, has just sort of crystallized the frustration of the people who are in charge who don't actually

put America first in any way, shape, or form.

They just don't.

And I think the border issue, and you're right, he doesn't need any new laws.

He doesn't.

He issued 90-plus executive orders undoing the successes.

Remain in Mexico, of course, is the most famous.

When I was AG, we held up those for a while.

We won in court for a while, but they are just dedicated to it.

It's in their DNA.

So they're getting exactly what they want, and the American people are feeling the consequences.

So can I talk about the

budget that has just

the continuation of this nonsense and this madness?

I saw a speaker of the house, Mike Johnson, who I don't have a problem with.

He seems to be doing a good job.

He was talking about how many cuts there is, but

that's not real.

Did we get anything from this, and is it going to pass the Senate?

Probably.

I'm not going along with it.

I can't.

I didn't get sent here to go along with the broken system.

Whether it's these no appropriations bills, no debate, we don't even know if we're going to get amendments.

You know, think about that.

It's the United States Senate.

We don't know if Chuck Schumer is going to allow, because he's unveiling these omnibuses.

Now, this is broken up into two omnibuses, but it's still bad.

It's still a bus headed off a fiscal cliff.

We're $34 trillion in debt.

There's 6,000 earmarks.

There's money for

ecotherapy.

like people who are stressed about climate alarm.

I mean, there's money for algorithmic justice.

I mean, this is nuts.

And if you, again, if you put these questions to the American people, they reject it, but they try to do it under the cover of darkness.

They try to jam this at deadlines.

And so I'm fighting, and I hope it can be bipartisan.

I mean, Mike Lee and others, I know you know,

what we're trying to do is get to a place where we're empowering individual members, where you actually have a say.

I think that's what people think happens here.

That you stand up on the floor as a senator like Mr.

Smith goes to Washington.

I have an idea.

I have an improvement.

I want to build support.

I want to build a coalition.

Chuck Schumer doesn't rule the floor like that.

And so a lot of members are just completely cut out.

And it's why we end up with these bills like this that are just needled, you know, are just embedded with a bunch of waste.

And I know I'm not disagreeing with you when I say this, but neither do the Republicans.

I mean, the Republicans and the Democrats have given away all their power to the state,

to the administration.

And that's the real problem here.

We need a president that will reduce the federal regulations that come from

unelected nobodies.

Yep.

Well, and you know, we've talked about it before the first legislation I filed,

one of my fundamental missions here is to dismantle the administrative state.

The founders never envisioned unelected people, unaccountable to anybody, affecting people's lives the way they do now.

So there's a bunch of structural reforms.

I think Congress ought to have to vote on every regulation, pick the economic impact.

Mine would be lower than someone else's.

We should be on the record.

If we did that, there wouldn't be a ban on gas stoves.

There wouldn't be all this ridiculous stuff that we don't like.

We should have to vote on it, and that would stop this stuff cold.

We need structural reform, and I'm just not going to stop until we get it because I think it's the ⁇ and you want to understand why people lose faith?

It's because they see that.

They send people to Washington.

It feels like nothing changes because this Administrative State exists.

And by the way, the same apparatus is suppressing their speech, which is why the heart of Missouri versus Biden that I filed will be argued in two weeks at the Supreme Court.

So if you, those are that was my first floor of speech, Glenn, was taking on the Administrative State and protecting the First Amendment.

I care deeply about it, and I think it's our way forward to restoring trust and actually living up to the promises of America.

You know, I haven't talked to you about this, so I don't know if you're busy on other things, but I don't know if you know.

One of our investigative journalists was arrested by the FBI and absolutely humiliated.

He went in and covered January 6th in the Capitol.

We have all of the footage of him in the building.

He never did anything except report the news.

His video was used by the New York Times and HBO.

He was a legitimate reporter in there covering this.

They arrested him, put him in ankle chains

and handcuffs and marched him in front of a uh a judge.

We don't know what's going to happen to him now.

Um he's been charged with four misdemeanors.

This has got to stop.

They're out of control.

Yep, and you're going to hear tonight, Glenn, these, you know, the American people have a choice between democracy and authoritarianism.

Well, we have seen the enemy, and it is Joe Biden's administration.

Look,

this is meant to quell dissent.

It's completely un-American, and they they have weaponized these institutions to go after Catholics and people who are speaking out.

We saw with the censorship enterprise that silenced millions of posts and Americans across the country.

And that's what they're doing.

Excuse me.

That's what they're doing.

And

it's really un-American.

And I remember a time where liberals

actually believed in the First Amendment.

And I don't know what the hell happened, but we've got to figure it out.

All right.

Thank you so much.

We'll be watching for you tonight.

One last thing.

The press keeps saying the Republicans are going to be out of control tonight.

Believe it or not, it's Senator Eric Schmidt from Missouri.

I think that was a great comment myself from Missouri, Senator Eric Schmidt.

We're not covering it like everybody else.

We're all getting together and we're pretty much, I mean, we'll tell you all the facts and everything else, but

we'll just be kind of an outlet for you.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Stu just told me that we have a horse

on the highway,

which is

always something that, well, you just never see.

Yeah.

You just never see.

This is strange.

And apparently real?

Okay.

Jake Paul.

You are familiar with Jake Paul, internet influencer of sorts, very, very famous,

you know, internet guy and a huge following and has also done a bunch of boxing.

And I don't know if he's actually good or not.

I can't actually tell.

I don't know if he's a good boxer or family.

These boxing things come up from time to time and I'm like, what, what, what?

I just don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Well,

there's one

celebrity.

Yes.

Mike Tyson.

Now, you might know Mike Tyson as one of the greatest boxers in his prime of all time.

Or rapist.

Well, that's another thing.

You might also know him as a guy who's 57 years old and no longer in his prime.

I mean, this was the plot of Rocky IV.

Yes.

Apollo Creed was killed in the ring.

I don't think he's

going to kill him.

You don't think he's Ivan Drago in the situation?

I don't think there's a chance that it goes the other way.

Yeah, and I think, you know, with Jake Paul and the amount of people who don't like him, he might not even be charged with the murder if he kills him.

And then on the other hand, you have like,

Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist.

Where is this happening?

It's happening here in Dallas at ATT Stadium.

You know, the

massive and streamed live on Netflix July 20th.

It's the Roman Coliseum.

Yeah, it is absolutely the Roman Coliseum.

All right, back with more in a minute.

Stand by.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Got no room

to compromise.

We gotta stay together.

stand up straight

and hold alive.

It's a new day, a time to rain.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You know, there's a lot of great science fiction.

Science fiction is called that because it takes science, then pushes it to the nth degree in a fictional way.

But really good science fiction becomes science fact.

And a lot of the things that people wrote science fiction for a long time, and all the experts said that

are starting to happen.

It's kind of a horse on the highway update in just a second.

Stand by.

First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

When it comes time to sell your home or buy a new one, it's a pretty safe bet.

You're going to want somebody to help you with some home repairs.

You know, somebody who knows what really needs to be done, but also, you know, a few repairs here and there that can boost the value of the home on the market.

And you don't necessarily know what those things are.

That's why you need a real estate agent you can trust.

You don't need a home repair contractor who cuts corners, and a lot of them cut corners.

The many of the things that you're going to need, a real estate agent who's really good has all of the phone numbers, all the names of people they've worked with for years that will get it done right.

They know how to do it and make your house sell for the most amount of money.

My company, RealEstate AgentsITrust.com, is dedicated 100% to pairing you up with a real estate agent who is the best, who has all the best business practices,

knows how to sell a house, knows how to advertise your house so they already have buyers for your house once you're sitting down with them.

So, the computer scientist and CEO of Singularity.net Singularity.net made the claim during the closing remarks at the beneficial AGI summit on March 1st in Panama City.

He's known as the father of AGI.

And he came out and said that most AI that we know is narrow AI.

It'll be good at one thing and one topic.

And what we have now, these large language models, are

moving things down the line faster than anyone expected.

But what we have now is AI.

AGI

is general intelligence.

We are GI.

Humans are GI,

general intelligent beings.

Okay.

It means we can do a lot of different things.

you know,

might not master everything, but we can we can generally

do a myriad of things every day and figure out how it works and et cetera, et cetera.

We're GI.

A GI is something that is like human and it can do all the things humans can do, except it will do them and master all of them.

So it's like the smartest human.

Then you have a SI.

artificial superintelligence.

There are no S's

to compare in humans.

This would be akin to all human brains tied together and thinking.

Okay, all human brains on earth.

It will be superior to that.

That could be very bad.

Could also be very good.

We don't know.

And nobody, anybody who says they know,

they're bluffing.

This is like a human, I mean, sorry, an alien life form.

This is a new form of what will eventually be called life.

We have no idea how it thinks.

We currently have no idea how these large language models even teach themselves and do things that they weren't programmed to do.

We have no idea.

So we're messing with something that we don't even know how it works.

It's like

building a nuclear weapon.

But you don't really understand, wait, it smashes an atom and whose Adam?

It's like that.

We're playing with very dangerous technology.

So I have said for a long time that I thought it would be here.

AGI would be accomplished sometime before 2030, most likely right around 2030.

And most people, most scientists said that was crazy.

I just didn't think it was going to be as hard.

I just watch how fast technology grows.

And now,

Ben Goertzel,

which sounds kind of like a food, doesn't it?

Like a Jewish food?

Ben Goertzel.

Yeah.

Hey, come on over.

I know you love my Ben Goertzel.

Let's see.

Anyway, Ben Goertzel, who is this CEO of Singularity.net, the father of AGI, just came out and said he thinks we're going to have

AGI by 2027.

Wow.

That's a game changer.

So you're wrong again.

Wrong again.

Wrong again.

Now,

let me show you why this is

so incredibly dangerous.

First of all, when you have AGI,

we don't know how it's going to react to us.

And

don't fear the program or the robot.

Fear the program or the programming.

Who programmed it?

What is it?

How is it learned?

What does it think?

How does it it think?

What's life?

What's not life?

All of that stuff.

The U.S.

Army Research Laboratory is testing now the potential of commercial AI chat bots like OpenAI's GPT-4

to assist in military strategy and battle planning.

Now, this is something we should probably

all concern ourselves with.

I mean, just a little

They say that it is getting really, really

good.

The researchers provided AI chatbots, including OpenAI's GPT-4 turbo and GPT-4 vision models, with details about simulated terrain, friendly and enemy forces, military doctrines for offensive and defensive operations.

The AI assistants were then tasked with proposing courses of action to accomplish a specific mission objective, destroying all the enemy units and capturing a designated point on the map.

Within seconds, the AI chatbots responded with multiple strategic proposals.

A human operator acting as the military commander could then query the AI for clarifications or modifications to the proposed plans before finalizing and executing the computer's model.

The results showed that OpenAI's latest GPT models outperformed older AI agents in a simplified wargame game context.

However, they weren't perfect.

The scenarios that they proposed,

well, the troops suffered higher casualty rates on both sides, but they did manage to achieve their overall mission goals.

So if they didn't really care about human life,

you couldn't do anything.

This is how you can build giant dams.

Right?

You just like if you, as long as you don't mind folding people into the concrete, yeah, you can get the damn wall of China, Great Wall of China, just what?

You're going to die eventually anyway.

You might have a couple legs sticking out.

One other thing.

The wall at places, but one other thing, because I know you don't have enough to worry about.

But one other thing that we're watching is the woolly mammoth.

Okay.

They're trying to bring the woolly mammoth back.

Remember, we had that guy on?

Yep.

Okay.

Trying to bring the woolly mammoth back because somehow or another, it's going to be good for the environment.

I don't know.

You figure it out.

I'm not smart enough to figure that one out.

But they're bringing it back.

And apparently,

apparently, we have taken an elephant-sized step towards genetically resurrecting the woolly mammoth.

So we're closer now than we've ever been before.

Won't that be exciting?

Maybe it'll be like Ice Age and he'll be a friendly woolly mammoth.

Or it could be like Jurassic Park.

What is wrong with us?

Also, another horse on the highway, This from the times of Israel.

We're living in the most worrying period for Jews since World War II.

Now, what would make them say that?

Well, a couple of stories.

Anti-Israel college students label themselves now as militants and say struggle, violent struggle, is the only way to liberate Palestine.

This is from which university is this?

Holyoke, Mount Holyoke.

Five points of Al-Thawapabet or whatever it is.

One, a free Palestine is an Arab from the river to the sea with Al-Quds as its capital.

Ever heard of the Al-Quds forces?

Those Al-Quds forces, they are the ones that are going to free

everyone.

by killing all the Jews in Jerusalem.

Al-Quds is what they call Jerusalem.

So,

first, free Palestine.

It's got to be Arab from river to the sea, so that means there is no Israel, and Al-Quds is its capital.

And I bet you that John Kerry would recognize that as their capital immediately.

Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.

Hmm, okay.

Armed struggle.

Okay, so that's what's going on in our campuses.

So that might be one of the reasons why it's dangerous to be a Jew now new study finds Jewish college students hiding their identity due to the backlash on their campus okay well it's a bunch of college students get over it right here's a cute little story uh from the great city of New Haven Connecticut a city official has been disciplined so I want you to know they've been disciplined And they're going through cultural sensitivity training.

Why?

Well, you might even think this is a little rash, what they put this person through.

Cultural sensitivity training.

I mean, imagine that could have lasted hours.

What they did was they were chanting ethnic cleansing slogans with a megaphone and encouraging others to do the same outside a local Jewish family's home.

The Bisa Rich, New Haven Communities Outreach Coordinator for the Department of Arts, Cultural, and Tourism, caused a scene outside of a house of a local rabbi and Jewish family.

He had a pro-Israel sign in his yard.

Now, first time I read this story, I didn't realize he had a sign that was pro-Israel.

You know, support Israel.

That's going too far.

That's going too far.

According to a video obtained by the Daily Wire and her social media,

she had several anti-Semitic posts since Israel was attacked on October 7th by terrorists, including stating she does not condemn Hamas for its murder of more than a thousand Israelis and others that invoked tropes about Jewish money and power.

Citi says,

okay, she did violate the code of conduct, which is good, okay?

At least they have a code of conduct.

You know, you shouldn't say, hey, let's kill all the Jews,

you know, with a megaphone.

No?

Yet, no.

And they said they've written a former letter of reprimand

for violations of the city code of conduct regarding her actions and several statements posted on social media.

But she's not going to, the mayor has said she's not going to lose her job.

I mean, that would be too much.

That would be too much.

The letter of reprimand was also accompanied by a coaching statement.

So when you combine that with a coaching statement,

I mean, this poor woman, what she's been through.

In a canceling discussion plan accompanying the letter of reprimand, the city alleges Rich's actions have impaired her ability to perform as somebody that can bring the community together on arts, you know?

And she's done significant damage to her professional reputation and ability to work with a wide spectrum of individuals and groups in the cities.

Now,

I don't see that myself, but Ms.

Rich was hired last year by New Haven and given the responsibility of managing the $1.2 million

in federal funding for the city of New Haven under the America Rescue Plan Act.

So she's out there spending some of your money, and I feel good about that.

At the time, the Director of Cultural Affairs said that Ms.

Rich was hired because they were looking for someone who could be a bridge builder.

And she's been doing that.

Now, in in videos posted of the incident by the rabbi and Rich herself, the city official can be heard repeating, shouting, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

That means there's no Israel.

She was eventually joined by her husband, Charlie Rich, who was wearing a mask when he showed up.

He defended her actions and pressed the Jewish resident.

you know, the rabbi to denounce Israel.

You know, you know, the family, as the rabbi said, was very shaken

because it turns out both these people are prominent members of the community who came to harass us because we had a Support Israel sign in our yard.

After the incident happened, Rich,

you know, you could tell she was sorry because she posted, You tell me when you want to come back and ask for a ceasefire, and I ask for this people to stop their hate because they think that they are white and privileged and they think that their religion is superior to the rest.

I need people to show up to this very same street.

We need to find a time to come back and show up in numbers and say, no, enough is enough.

Your silence is starting to signify complacency.

I promise I understand that some of you all have your pockets lined with bosses that are Jewish.

During the Super Bowl, she said

she was tired of seeing Jewish folks inflicting hate.

I don't know what that had to do with the Super Bowl, but she did.

In her response to the reprimand, you can tell she learned her lesson.

She said her media posts were taken out of context

and they were just intended to shed light on the propaganda and misinformation surrounding the true impact of the conflict on the people of Palestine.

You know, but I think that's great.

The mayor said, hey, look, we got to take all views.

And, you know, those who want to kill the Jews and those who don't.

We're going to, you know, just a difference of opinion.

I think that's it.

Now, two sides to every issue, Glenn.

Yeah, that's right.

Don't you dare say anything about gays or lesbians or transgender because we'll put you in jail for that.

Of course.

But

hey, we all disagree.

Should we kill the Jew or not kill the Jew?

You know, I mean, let everybody live or, you know, or not let live, whichever they choose.

pre-born is not easy to face this country has blood on its hands nearly 65 million innocent lives have taken in abortion murder since Roe versus Wade now that Roe is gone there's still a lot of work to do because we can't erase the terrible history we have built with our unborn children in this country but we can at least change the future a little bit and they've upped their game because now abortion clinics are your

bathroom at the house.

It's horrible what's going on.

The Ministry of Pre-Born is working on this every day by introducing an expecting mom to her unborn baby through a free ultrasound.

Pre-born doubles the chances that she, the mom, will choose life.

They've rescued over 280,000 babies through love, compassion, and free ultrasounds.

Every day they rescue about 200 more.

Please, they need your help.

One life-saving ultrasound is $28, just $28, and you could save the life of a mom and a baby.

10 seconds, station ID.

So, when you say things like that, Stu,

I'm just wondering, I'm reading what the mayor said.

City employees can have different and strongly held views on important issues.

There's an appropriate time, place, and manner in which to express them.

And incidents and statements of this nature won't be tolerated.

But

she stepped out of bounds because she was there on the grass of somebody's home.

When is the appropriate time to call for the end of Israel and the killing of all Jews?

I think we should ask our university professors.

They seem to have a good handle on this question.

Go to the expert.

You're right.

You're right.

There are some contexts where this is very appropriate, apparently.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters surrounded the Montreal Holocaust Museum on Monday, preventing access to the building where a group of Israeli Army reservists were speaking on part of an advocacy tour.

Protesters chanted, Death to Israel, death to the Jews.

You know, we all have a different opinion.

This is the building that houses the Holocaust Museum.

Needless to say, the Jewish community was a little taken aback,

attempting to block access to the building, harassing, calling for death to the Jews at the Holocaust Museum.

Apparently,

not the greatest.

Now,

the police did show up,

and, you know, they said, well, you know,

they had to use mace on a couple of people, but nobody was arrested.

Nobody was arrested.

Nothing happened.

It's just, again,

disagreement.

You know, some call for an antifada and terrorism against, you know, civilians and

killing an entire group of people and some don't.

And apparently, Canada, the enlightened Canada, understands that and can come together.

Don't drive a truck.

Don't you dare drive a truck during COVID.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

It'll put you in jail.

This,

hey, we all got to live together or not and just hear each other out.

Can't we be understanding?

Now, of course, obviously, if you say something about the LGBTQQIA2 plus community, we cannot, no, cannot be understanding at all, but can't we be understanding what we call for the genocide of the Jews?

Glenn back.

I never thought we live in a weird freaking place.

Never again is now, guys.

Never again is now.

Let me ask you a question.

Are you living the life you want to live?

Are you doing the things you want to do?

And if not, is it because you're living with pain?

Even if you're one of those grin and bear types, I'm not.

I'm a grin and whine a lot kind of guy.

Do you really want to have to do that grin and bear it day in, day out, always pretending to yourself and everybody else that you're doing just fine?

You know,

my dad always said, I always said, hey, dad, how are you doing?

And he said, getting better.

Well, he wasn't really getting better.

He was getting worse and worse in pain.

But, you know, I understand the power of positive thinking, but maybe from time to time a little help with the old body.

And that's where Relief Factor comes in.

It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation.

It's 100%

If we were anywhere south of the border, this next guest, I mean, I think I would probably have girls screaming outside of the windows, going, oh my gosh, you talked to him.

Big, big star

in South America and Mexico.

I'm going to introduce him, as only a white man can, as Alejandro Monteverde, which is not the way he would say it, but better than the way George Bush would say it.

He'd be like, Alejandro.

You know, he's here.

Anyway, Alejandro, how are you, sir?

How are you?

Thank you for having me in your show.

It's a great honor.

And by the way,

I met George Bush

at the, you know, when he gave the State of the Union speech, he picked two immigrants that came to this country, and I was one of them.

He spoke, so I had the opportunity to chat with him.

He did spoke like what you say.

Al Jajandro is here.

Anyway, so Alejandro,

you are one of the great reasons we love immigrants.

You are a guy, big, big star

all over South America and Mexico, and as an actor, but you have

become, I believe, one of the best filmmakers in the world.

I saw your movie

Cabrini when it was,

I don't even know if it was locked down yet.

And halfway through it, I said to one of the producers, I feel like I am in the screening room

with

a group that made The Godfather,

you know, sitting next to us.

That is one of the most amazing compliments because when I worked with my cinematographer, That was one of the inspirations.

Yeah, I'm telling you,

you guys nailed that.

It is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen, but not for an artsy reason.

It just captures a mood like I've only seen in The Godfather.

So you hit that.

The movie Cabrini.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

The movie Cabrini.

Tell the story of Saint Cabrini, because a lot of people don't know her.

Well, you know, just the shorter summarized, she was a warrior.

She came here to America in the late 1800s as an immigrant, a woman with nothing,

with a dream, with a big mission to build hospitals

and help those in need and built an empire as big as any Rockefeller or Vanderbilt.

Even though at that time when she arrived, she faced

a lot of racism against Italians and discrimination.

But that's the beautiful of this country.

That did not stop her from building one of the greatest hospitals that New York has ever seen.

It is, and she actually,

by the end of her life, I believe it was the largest hospital network in the world.

I mean, what she accomplished was amazing, and she became an American shortly after she got here, a few years after she got here.

But it shows a woman American, and then she was the first American saint,

which is also very powerful.

Yeah.

The way you have predicted her, tell me about the lady who plays her.

This movie, Cabrini, by the way.

My highest, highest recommendation.

This is an incredible movie.

So inspirational, so well done.

This will show you how far independent films have come from conservative media.

This is

put out by Angel Films.

You remember how bad Christian movies were?

This is, I wouldn't categorize it as a Christian movie.

It's just a movie about this wonderful Christian.

But it is brilliant.

So please go see it.

It's out tomorrow.

Anyway,

thank you.

Thank you.

First of all, that's

truly an honor to coming from you.

It means a lot.

The reason we, you know, this is a woman that also defied death itself, you know, defy our mortality every single day.

She was able to literally steal decades of life.

You know, they told her that she had two to three years to live and she kept fighting and fighting with look at the amount of faith.

If you if somebody tells you you have two years to live, but you have a dream that will take you twenty years to make, that requires a lot, a lot of faith in yourself to begin with.

So it it it's I needed an actress that was able to have the power on her eyes from going from a loving eyes that can love a child that is abandoned to the streets to

rapidly change to have these defiant eyes to defy all these challenges that were put in front of her.

You know, she fought all the way from the most dangerous criminal, a pint that was prosecuting little girls, to facing very powerful politicians.

Right, and the Pope.

I mean, the scene

the scene with the Pope where she's like, I'm going to see the Pope.

And everybody's keeping her away from the Pope.

And he's finally like, I'm not going to mess with this woman.

Send her in.

Yeah.

She inspires me all the time.

You know, we take no's too easy nowadays.

So somebody says no, and then you just walk away.

She was able to convert a no to a yes.

She was able to build bridges to even be able to work with people that disagree with her.

And that's what I think is a problem right now and it's so relevant with America because right now we're in such a divided country.

We should be able to work together, even though we're divided.

And she understood that.

It's like, we don't have to agree, but there's people dying outside.

You know, there's like,

let's go and help.

And she lived a life for others.

Can I go down just an odd road, perhaps, with you?

There was one point where I leaned over to the producer and I said,

that's Batman looking over Gotham.

Right?

She was wearing a cape.

Yes.

And she's wearing a cape.

Yes.

So did you do these things?

Because there were several places where I was like, that's a hero shot.

That's a hero shot that I've seen.

Did you intentionally do that?

Yes, yes, yes.

Everything was designed and very intentional in this film.

We, because of COVID, you know, at least we had to use COVID for advantage.

You know, the movie kept being pushed, pushed, and pushed.

So we used all that time to keep designing and designing, designing every shot, but designing the subtext.

There's a a lot of subtext in this film.

She lives a very heroic life.

She was wearing a cape.

So we wanted to present her visually as a hero, as those heroes that you see in Marvel movies, but she was a real hero.

And is it true that this was

because I think this is what makes the movie so visually appealing, is

it was meant to be shot in black and white, right?

Yes.

And what happened?

The whole time the movie was black and white.

And when you shoot black and white, it allows you to be very operatic.

You know, Orson Wells, Citizen Kane, you know, it's like all those movies.

It's a wonderful, you know, like all those films.

It allows you, you know, Orson Welles used to say, it is impossible to have

bad acting in black and white.

Black and white allows you to do everything.

But most importantly, the reason I wanted to shoot it in black and white was because she was wearing black.

And I didn't want her, her habit to get in the way of her story.

So I was like, well, then everybody's going to be dressed like her, black and white.

So

for an entire year and a half, I designed the movie as it was of black and white, which is very operatic, very cinematic, very orchestrated,

almost like if you look in a movie on Broadway.

So, and then a week before we started the shoot, Eustace Wolfington, who was the person

behind all of this movement, I call it the Cabrini movement, movement he flew in and I say well he coming for two reasons either he's firing me or he's telling me that he's not gonna be black and white that was the only two reasons because anything else he could just tell me on the phone why is he flying in to see me and it was the second one

it's like it's not gonna be black and white and but this point I already had to sign the movie when you design the movie for black and white like like Citizen Kane,

you take a lot of creative licenses.

And it was too late to go back.

And I didn't know if it was going to work.

So when I finished the film, I went into deep, deep depression for two weeks because I didn't know if this movie was going to work because I had shot it designed for black and white, but I shot it in color.

So it was of the most dark.

I went into a dark place for two weeks and then I saw the first cut and I was like, oh, it worked.

Oh, my gosh.

It was a risk.

It is the most visually stunning movie that does not detract.

You know, sometimes people do it for art's sake and blah, blah, blah.

This is just visually stunning

and helps tell the story.

I mean, Alejandro, you don't need this from me, but I truly believe you are

one of the, if not the best director around today.

You are going to be legendary,

I believe.

It's just a matter of time.

Thank you.

Just a matter of time.

Thank you, Glenn.

You are just, it's brilliant.

Truly.

Truly, because we've been in a fight, and I want to, you know,

I've never heard that and more coming from you.

It's shaking my heart.

But I want to say something.

You know, you know this very well.

You know, movies like this,

we don't have the big billboards.

We don't have, we're not, you know, we're competing against Dune.

So the only way the movie like this can survive is if in opening weekend people go see it.

Otherwise, we will be kicked out of theaters.

So I cannot tell you how important it is that people come out on opening weekend because they are our billboards.

The billboards is the word of mouth.

It's people coming out of the theaters and sharing their experience, their cinematic experience with audiences.

You know, our audience is the walking billboards.

Well, I will tell you that I saw it in a studio projection room, and I went home, and I've been telling my family about this movie ever since.

And we are all going to be at the theater tomorrow.

I can't wait to see it again.

It is so good.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, you saw an early cut, so I can't wait for you.

There is two or three new scenes.

I wonder if you'll be able to spot them.

I think you will, by the way.

Alejandro, thank you so much.

And keep up the good work.

You are fantastic, really.

And Cabrini

is a piece of, really, a piece of art.

It really is.

And I'm so grateful, so grateful for your support, but thank you so much.

Thank you.

Alejandro

Monteverdi,

filmmaker.

And I really mean this.

I think he is

going to be remembered with all of the greats.

I have been a fan of his when he started making smaller movies.

And he made Little Boy, which I thought was just fantastic, captured the spirit of America in World War II, like very few people can do.

And then he also is responsible for

the Sound of Freedom.

And now Cabrini.

And this is amazing and a great, uplifting story.

You will just love it.

Find it at a theater.

Like he said, this weekend is really important

because

the reason why Sound of Freedom did well is because more movie theaters open up on the opening weekend, if they have a big opening weekend, then more theaters go, you know what, I'll give that a try.

And if you don't support these things on the opening weekend, and you will just

go to support

filmmakers,

we have come from really bad movies to brilliant, brilliant pieces of work.

And this is the best I've seen from a conservative.

And it's one of the best I've seen from anyone.

It's called Cabrini.

See it this weekend.

Let me tell you about the Burna Launcher.

It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will send potential threats running in the opposite direction.

It is legal in all 50 states.

There are no permits, no background checks required.

It can be used by all ages over the age of 18.

And the Burna Launcher has powerful deterrents like tear gas.

This is not pepper spray.

This is tear gas.

Kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.

One shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

Government agencies, law enforcement, now replacing their tasers and everything else with the Burna launcher.

In every situation you and your family is in danger, they're not all the same.

Some might require a gun.

Others can be taken care of quite easily with Burna, a Burna launcher proudly made here in Fort Wayne, Indiana, by gun lovers.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

So I'm just trying to plan out my weekend.

So I have some interesting, important, honest questions for you about this movie.

Okay.

This is just like because you're thinking about going.

I mean, you just made an incredible pitch for this movie.

I've heard only great things about it.

Yes.

I'm a little concerned.

For me, beyond you.

Yeah, okay.

Yes, this is pretty universal.

This is the opposite kind of tale, but the quality of the Godfather.

Incredible compliment.

Now, I don't always trust your movie advice.

It's important to understand.

Like, when you recommend a blockbuster to me, it doesn't win me over because I typically like you like different types of stuff.

Like, oh, the new Avengers movie is amazing.

I'm not going to listen to that.

Usually, when you come up with a movie I've never heard of before out of nowhere,

it's usually really good.

When you praise that type of movie, but there is one exception to that rule.

Okay.

When you talk too much about the cinematography.

When you start just constantly talking about cinematography, then it's the Glenn artistic person who likes the shots in the movie, not necessarily the movie.

I'm concerned.

You mentioned it several times, how beautiful it was.

I know.

Is it a good movie or is it

in the movie?

Movie.

This is what I would call a movie slash film.

Wow.

It's a great movie.

Okay.

It's a great story, very uplifting.

And, you know, I think very relatable.

And the kind of stuff that I want to consume right now.

Can I just go in and

not leave thinking, oh my gosh, that that really didn't do anything for my mood.

So it's a very uplifting story.

It's a true story.

It's so well done.

And the way it's shot, it's a film.

But I can differentiate between a film and a movie.

Right.

This is not The Avengers.

You would look at this more like a happy godfather.

It has that kind of gravitas to it.

It's really good.

Really high praise.

I can't wait to hear your review.

I've got something to do this weekend.

Yeah, all right.

It opens tomorrow theater's limited release.

Please go see it this weekend.

That will make it more widely distributed.

The name of it is Cabrini,

the Glenn Beck program.
