Today is a rip-roaring podcast that you don't want to miss a single second of. The darkness of the anti-Jewish attack that has occurred on American soil in Colorado over the weekend. If we don't speak out against this, the fires are going to continue to spread. All this and more on today's podcast. If you are a parent, it is your sacred duty to defend your family from any and all danger and to raise your children to be able to defend themselves as well. In the world in which we're living today, it is more necessary than every. before, but you know, not everybody feels comfortable carrying a firearm. I do, but some places

will even make it impossible, and some situations make it unwise. Sometimes you need a less lethal option. That's why I'm such a big believer in Burnah. I have to tell you, have you ever thought about what you would do if you were in a grocery store or at 7-Eleven or whatever, and it was being robbed and somebody had a gun or somebody, you know, had a knife, what you would do if you had a gun? I'm not sure I would feel comfortable pulling out my gun and shooting the person, because I believe in shooting to kill. And the nightmare that would be. But if you have a burn and launcher, you have tear gas.

You can fire it right there. And it'll stop the bad guy. Stop them dead in the tracks. That's the way you can actually stay safe and serve other people without having to, you know, defend your life for defending your life. It's small, slimmer, and easier to carry discreetly now. it is the new, very, very sleek, Berna launcher. It puts confidence back into your hands.

It's powerful, reliable, and the world's not getting safer, but you can get smarter. Burna.B-R-N-A.com.

Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Jason.

Yes, sir. How are you? Good. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks for coming in. I think what happened in Ukraine this weekend is kind of significant on the war front. A little bit.

And signals to, I think, basically what I've been saying for, what the last couple of years, I think, that the next war, you know, everything that we're building, stop building them. Because AI is going to change everything. Drones are going to change everything. our aircraft carriers are just sitting ducks now. What we saw happen from Ukraine, thousands of miles into the interior of Russia, is striking. Do you want to explain? Yeah, I mean, gosh, yes.

You have been talking about what's coming for a very long time. If you think about it, you know, wars have always pushed technology, you know, things that were coming. but just push them out there faster than they probably would have before. You think about... War and pornography. Those are the drivers. They are.

They're the drivers of tech. War and pornography. Yeah, I mean, you know, we have satellite technology because of, you know, the invention of ICBMs and, you know, the need to dominate space. I mean, all of these things were pushed. I mean, you look at economic wars. You look at, you know, the oil wars, when oil prices were collapsing, there were a few enterprising people in Texas that could not pay their workers anymore. So they were like,

let's come up with these gigantic automated platforms so that we can frack and not have to pay tons and tons of money, you know, and start, you know, in operating costs. That came way before. I mean, people get ingenuity. They think of these things and they push it beyond. You look at this attack. You talk about aircraft carriers. Ukraine effectively turned a semi-truck into a multi, you know, tens of, how much does it cost to build an aircraft carrier? I don't even, I don't know. Billions, billions of dollars. Tons of money.

They turned in a, you know, a $20,000 semi-truck into an aircraft carrier. That's what we're looking at right now. Have you seen these videos of this attack? Yeah, let's play them. Let's do drone exits container first. Can we do that one, please? What you're seeing is, oh my gosh, look at the sky. Coming out of these containers is just,

and full of drones. It's like a... I mean, it's just, it's like a swarm of these. Okay. Dron flies over Russian bombers as they explode. Next one, please. This is showing that these are their strategic bombers. This is, you know, like our strategic air command,

you have to load with nuclear missiles if there's a war. They took out 30% of them. 30% of the strategic, we've never been able to do anything like that. Do you see the tires on those wings, Glenn? That's how big they are. So they have these tires right there, right there. And that video right there you see it's flying over. There's all these tires lined up on the wings.

The reason why they did that is because they're trying to stop the targeting systems of these first-person drones, the Ukrainians employing en masse. So they put the tires on the wings so that it attempt, to mask or confuse the AI in the targeting of these drones. They're trying everything they can think of to slow down this drone warfare. Is it true, though? Oh my gosh. Wait, wait, wait.

So those little spots on the wing, that's how big that plane is. I know that's a big plane. But as you say that, and I'm looking, I see the spots on top of the wings and I'm like, those are tires? Those are tires. Yeah, wow. Wow. Is it true that they had to control these from inside Russia, like near?

by the sites, though. That's what the reporting I heard was, which is that they've had all these pilots apparently, drone pilots, inside the country. Is that accurate? I guess that's possible. They haven't, and that's an interesting point because they, Ukraine immediately, you know what, I'm going to stay away from, I'm going to start with this. I'm going to stay away from any of the BDA, the battle damage assessment on this, because I know the propaganda machines are going to be going insane on both sides. I don't want to get into another ghost of Kiev situation here. So it could be as high as 40, you know, bombers, it could be as low as, I don't know, 10. Who knows? The point is, is that the name of the game changed this weekend, completely changed. And the reason I think Zelensky is pushing this

out and saying, yeah, we did it. I mean, Israel didn't even do that with the Hesbila Beeper thing. They kept it close to the chest for a while, even though we all knew it was them. But they didn't give away everything right at the beginning. Ukraine is just saying, this is how we did it. You know, we loaded up these drones. You saw those tractor trailers in the back of the semi-trucks. It was remotely opened. And then, if they were in Russia or back in Ukraine, who knows where. And then they remotely took the drones up and sent them out in swarms like an aircraft carrier. This happened.

Everything changed. But the reason they put that out there is because this is also now a big psychological thing with Russia. Now they don't even know if they can trust any cargo coming into or- Any container. Anything. They're everywhere those things. Right. This goes way beyond.

Gang, gang. Can we not, can we, can we, can we, let me just reset this. Stu, what came to mind when you said, were they controlling them from inside? We don't know what's in our country. We don't know who came across our border. These things could be in our country today. I mean, this is, this is something that, I mean, the whole world is about to change. And it just did this weekend.

Let me play one more here. drone truck detonates as man enters. Let's see this one. Yeah. So was that, what was that? Self-destruct. Was that? Self-destruct.

That was self-destruct so they don't capture the vehicle or examine anything inside. So you had someone remotely opening it. You had remotely piloting the swarms out. Then after the job was done, they remotely did a self-destruct and detonated the delivery vehicle. It's amazing. It really is. this is Ukraine. Right.

Right. I mean, you know, Ukraine in the middle of a war for a long time. This is Ukraine. This is not even like the high, like, what are we have? What does China have? I would assume it's even more advanced, right? They're not saying this is us that help them with us either, right? Okay.

So, yes, we have the capability. I don't know if we've been thinking along these lines. Now, which is very dangerous. Of course not. No, I mean, if you. go to, and the word is out there. You can look all at, interestingly enough, we would have been planning a show

on this, on TV, to show how things are progressing in Ukraine. They had... It was going to be last week. It was supposed to be last week. Pretty insane. But they, I mean, I had these videos, like random bloggers and stuff are like, so we're on the front lines of the new drone warfare program and there are multiple

like secret locations in Ukraine where they have full on remotely powered vehicles that are leading the charge. Not, you know, armored mechanized units. That's not happening. They're sending in these drones on the ground. Then they send in another wave of drones through the air.

I mean, you're not seeing. You remember when this war started out, everyone was criticizing the Russians. They were like, how'd this happen? Well, because the Russians were going in like World War II. They were going in and mechanized units. Yep. These big, bulky tanks, they were getting knocked out. That is not how warfare is going to happen going forward.

It's just not. Everything is changing right now. and it's being a test drive right now in Eastern Europe. It's scary. Is that good or bad? That is the... I honestly am asking that question because I... I don't know.

I don't know. Part of me thinks that this type of thing might end up really lowering body counts, right? If everyone's fight... I mean, it's the Star War. I know this argument was made in Star Wars. I'm aware of it. But like, there's an argument that if drones are killing drones, like that's maybe a better place than where we've been over the past century, where it's people that are doing all the dying. I want a T-shirt because with what you just asked, because that is the question of our

times. Is that good or is that bad? We'd insert the question into every AI discussion that we have. Everything. Everything. Everything. Everything. The trade, is that good or is that bad?

I think when you look at modern warfare, it always ends to the, in my mind, it goes to the same conclusion that the war planners of World War II had when they created the nuclear bomb. It's, you know, before you look at World War I, it was, you know, massive body counts on both sides, just take out troops. Then in World War II, they were like, well, let's take out industrial centers. So then let's deplete the enemy's ability to wage war by hitting it where it starts. Now, the problem is, or where it's manufactured, the problem is that's where the city centers are. So that's where the civilians are.

So eventually, after you've gotten through all this drone warfare, you know, militaries are decimated, on the battlefield. Eventually, you have to go to where they produce the drones, where they, you know, command and control. That is what Vladimir Putin and his security council are sitting around the table right now. They're thinking, okay, where are these things being produced? Where are they being trained? Where are they learning to do these things? Where are they pushing the button to do these things? Usually those are in cities, which is a very bad thing. And Russia does have the ability to counter that if he wants to go that far. That's where we're inching closer towards. Well, they're saying this was a $7 billion loss. I know this is, you know, could be propaganda,

but they're saying this is a $7 billion loss. You don't lose $7 billion of strategic air command and not respond. I mean, this, this is not going to drive them to the peace table. And that's the interesting question. Coincidentally, they're meeting today. The meeting today. And like, and so what I have heard, some of the coverage is that this was intentionally done before this, right? Like to basically say, I mean, in a way to say that we do have cards, right? The old like, you guys don't have any cards to play. Well, we do have cards. That's what they're trying to bring up into this negotiation point. Essentially, we're not coming from a place of weakness. Yeah, but how do you, that's a really

good point. But how do you, as Vladimir Putin, address your people and say, hey, we just made peace after they just took down 30% of our strategic bombers. I don't see how you can. I don't either. Yeah, and that narrative is kind of crap to me because Russia, I think on the same day or the day before, sent its largest drone arsenal themselves, I think, to date, inside Ukraine. Like 500 drones.

It's not like they're doing it. My assumption with Russia, though, is that they don't actually want this, right? Like, they're walking down this road of peace talks. but like in reality, they have not shown a lot of interest in actually solving this, I don't think. Ukraine, I think, is in another position where I think they'd like it to be over, but the terms that are there, they don't like. So I don't know that either side really wants this to end at this moment. Let me tell you about our spotlight sponsor. It is good ranchers.

The history of your beef raised in Argentina, shipped to Canada, processed China, finally after its world tour, sliced into strips and stuffed in. into your freezer here in America. By the time it gets to you, the steak as more frequent flyer miles than you do, than you do. Somehow or another, we can ship things from China and it's cheaper than getting it here in the United States. It doesn't make sense when our ranchers are in such dire, dire shape. At good ranchers, there's no world tour, just no detours between, you know, it grazing in the pasture and sitting on your plate.

It's just all American meat, 100% born raised and harvested right here. at home by farmers and ranchers who actually know what they're doing and are Americans. Help us protect the food supply.

I want to take you to a place where the mountains touch the heaven and the air still holds a trace of frontier decency. A place where over the weekend evil struck. Not with a drone, not with a bomb, not with a cyber attack, or a coordinated cell, but with fire. Ancient, primal, vicious. A man, not a citizen.

I want to make that clear. Not a citizen. Not even a guest of our country anymore. an illegal immigrant whose visa had expired not once, but two times, hurled a Molotov cocktail into the window of a Jewish family's home this weekend. Flames don't ask questions. They quickly licked up the curtains, the memories, the photographs, and the people. One woman, elderly now, frail, a woman who had escaped the Holocaust in the last century.

A woman who escaped Hitler's ovens only to be set ablaze here in the nation that was supposed to be the world's safe harbor. Let that settle in. She survived last century's greatest evil only to be hunted in this century, in this country, on our streets. When will you say you've had enough? Why was he here? How many more like him are here? hiding in plain sight, walking amongst us. Why, two decades after 9-11, have we learned nothing?

Do you remember what 9-11? You remember what they said caused that? People overstaying their visas. And so we were going to change. We're going to get the Patriot Act, so that never happened again. Well, gee, the Patriot Act, has done an awful lot of things, but apparently not stopped what caused 9-11. That was the hole we swore we were going to close.

Do you remember the commissions? Do you remember the hearings? Do you remember all of the promises? They meant nothing. And it'll only get worse if we keep trading security for ideology, borders for feelings, sovereignty for slogans. Anti-Semitism is burning in our streets. This time, literal fire. This is not really an abstract kind of concept. This isn't a mean tweet or a campus protest. This is torches and flames. And it should sound familiar because I think we've all seen this movie before. Wasn't it in the 1930s that this happened when they lit synagogues, they lit people on fire? America, are you sleepwalking into that same nightmare?

I have to tell you, I am so sick and tired of the lies. From the left and the media, every single day they claim. Donald Trump and his supporters. They're nothing but Hitler and their Nazis. Well, let me ask you a question. What were the Nazis best known for? Because I don't think it was the Volkswagen. It was the Holocaust.

It was their hatred of Jews. It was Kristallnacht. It was the Ovens in Auschwitz. Let me ask you. Which group of people is marching in the streets, chanting from the rivers to the sea. Are they Donald Trump supporters? Or are the anarchists, the LGBTQ community, the Democrats, the socialists, the communists,

aren't they the ones doing it? I'm having a hard time with this because, I mean, you know, Donald Trump is trying to build more cars in America. If that's the way you define Hitler as somebody who is responsible for the Volkswagen, then yeah, I guess he's Hitler. But if you concentrate on what's happening with the Jews, it's very, very clear whose side is on who. Which one is shouting River to the Sea,

which means no Jews in Israel. Two weeks ago, the son of a man who was a guest of the Democratic Party at the last state of the union, his son, a flag-waving member of the communist socialist movement here in America, shot two innocents, two innocent Jews in the streets. Two weeks ago, in fact, he took the time to reload so he could finish the young lady off.

She tried to crawl to safety. I try not to be angry, but I am passionate. I was mocked by the ADL in 2009 or 10. Maybe it was probably 2009 and 10. I was called a hate monger for spreading fear because I dare tell you that what the world witnessed on the streets of Germany in the 1930s would come again to our streets. Well, let me ask the ADL. Do you still wish me to remain silent? because this is exactly what I warned about

and exactly what you called me a hate monger for pointing out gee I'm sorry you don't have the vision needed to protect your own people but it doesn't require an awful lot of vision really this story has been told over and over and over again what are you saying now what do you see coming now is this still Donald Trump you're really worried about as bad as it is today, I warn you, you haven't seen anything yet. And this time it is global.

And mainly because you on the left, in all of your hotiness, all of your overeducated boobs, that try to preach to everybody about love and peace, have no idea how people actually work. You have cozyed up to the very groups of people that wish to destroy the Jew. And you have only made it worse. The hour grows late. And let me ask you,

the Jew has been chased out of every country on earth. Always told to go back to where they come from. Well, they finally did, and now you want them out of there as well. Where do they go? This time, where does the Jew run? Where does the Jew hide? Please don't let this ancient evil grab your heart, please.

This is an ancient evil, and if we do not start treating it as such, instead of something we can negotiate with, I promise you the Jews will only be the canary in the coal mine. And with AI on the event horizon, there will be no place for the Jew or you to hide. No place. You know, the West isn't a direction on a compass. It's an idea.

Fragile, but luminous idea. That all men are created equal. That laws matter. That borders matter. That truth matters. But when we allow lawlessness in the name of compassion, when we let hatred march unchallenged under the mask of tolerance, when we fail to enforce even the most basic boundaries of civilization, we're not being moral, we're being suicidal.

How much longer will we ignore this? What will it take for all decent Americans to wake up? Must every town lose a synagogue? Must we have shootings and now fire bombings on all of our streets and all of our cities? Must every grandmother who survived the ovens of Auschwitz die in the flames of our indifference? When the people who came here because they were being persecuted for what they believed in, they said, we need to be a city on the hill to be the last great hope of man on earth. But cities burn when no one defend.

them. When the watchman abandons their post, when people forget their own history, when people forget who they are, this is not about politics. This is not about race. This is about civilization. And we either draw the line here or we will allow the fire to spread until there is no West left to defend. And it will only be then that the world will mourn and weep for the just decency that Western civilization has created. They will weep, but it will be too late. This time, let's not be the generation that remembers freedom only by the smell of its ashes. Rise up, not in anger, but in spirit, in resolve.

Please just remember. Remember who we are. Remember what we've tried to create. remember what our principles are remember the truth i saw a story today said biden his administration had ignored seven thousand warnings of child trafficking seven thousand warnings May a millstone be around the neck of all of those that turned a blind eye. When will we come together on our principles again? To protect the innocent.

To actually enforce our own laws to defend the vulnerable and call evil out by its name before the fires consume all of us. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. On an April episode of the Joe Rogan experience, the host used a slur within the first 45 seconds of the show. Quote, the word retarded is back, and it's one of the great cultural victories, Rogan said, with a laugh in the April 10th episode of his Uber popular podcast. Probably spurred on by podcasts, he said. A few months earlier on January 6th, Elon Musk used the word. retarded in a response to a Finnish researcher who called Musk the largest spreader of disinformation in human history.

Use of the slur more than doubled on X, the platform Musk owns, and in two days after that, the January post, more than 312,000 subsequent post made on X in that span contained the word retarded. Now this according to the co-author, Bon Benton, a professor of communication at the University of New Jersey. Since Musk's January post, the online prevalence of the R-word is absolutely getting worse. The resurgence of the R-word is symptomatic of a graver problem. The apparent death of empathy, says another professor at American University, who has studied how the far right uses tech to grow its influence. the R-word has really never gone away, she said. Many people still use it in private,

and the controversial far-right influencer and some members of the former dirtbag left podcast scene use it for many years to rile up followers and appeal to edgy comedic styles. Now listen to this. CNN writes, The R-word initially was meant to replace words that had become pejoratives.

Introduced in 1885, mental retardation became the preferred term among psychologists supplanting the diagnosis labeled imbecile or moron or feeble-minded. This is according to a clinical associate professor in disability and human development at the University of Illinois of Chicago. The R-word intended to be a neutral term,

but people with disabilities were then largely discarded and treated as lesser members of society, regularly institutionalized in dangerous environments and even forcibly sterilized without their consent, Who would do such a thing like that, CNN? Okay. When disability is framed as a lack, according to one of these researchers, when disability is framed as a lack, a limitation or a loss,

it reinforces the idea that people with disabilities are inherently incapable. And this framing is used to justify their existence, their exclusion from everyday life as if they're missing what it takes to participate. Okay. Now let me tell you the truth. The word handicapped, what does that mean? It means that you're unable to do things that most people can do, okay? That you have a disability, an inability to do something that most people can do.

Like, for instance, most people can walk upstairs. Some people can't. Who can't do that? The handicapped can't. hurtful, hurtful, because it says there's limitations. Okay. So we don't want to use the word handicap, and we build ramps for the handicap now,

but now we don't. We don't build those ramps. Well, how do they get into buildings? Well, they still get in ramps, but these are handicable ramps. Oh. Well, that changes everything, except when the word handicapable means handicapped.

to everyone, then the progressives will come out and say, you can't use the word handicapable. That means that they have a lack of ability to walk upstairs. Yes, you'll see in no time at all, you'll see the word handicapped means the same thing is handicapped because you're describing somebody who cannot walk up the stairs, therefore we have to build a ramp for them. Yet now progresses because you have shamed and forced everyone to adopt your stupid language which is trying to stop the language that you introduced the time before last, you shamed everybody. Now, handy capable is worse because anyone who uses that word

and insists on anyone else using it appears to be not only handy nor capable, but really kind of more, dare I say it, retarded, because you're asking everybody to deny that they can't walk upstairs. Words are the danger, you know. That's the real threat to our decency and to our values. Is somebody using the wrong term? If you say the word retarded or call yourself a moron for doing something dumb, you're perpetuating harm.

Am I? This is the progressive playbook. stuck on repeat. Okay? So let's take a back. Let's take a step back here, not in rhetoric, but in history. Shall we do that? Because this isn't about what you say in frustration. It's about what was done by scientists, by college professors, in laboratories, in hospitals, in courtsrooms, you know, by people who are much, much smarter than you, the average person. They did this to people who were stripped of their humanity by men who believed they could fix the human race. Who are those people?

They were the progressives of the early 20th century. Now let's just stop in California, the most enlightened place on earth. Let's go back to the early 20th century. It wasn't Mississippi, it's not Alabama. This is the land of golden progressivism, the land of innovation. at the tippy, tippy top of that cultural mountain stands Stanford University, the crown jewel of all modern thought.

Well, at Stanford, Lewis Terman, the man who created the Stanford-Binette IQ test believed intelligence was hereditary. He believed people with low IQs were not just slower, but they were dangerous. They were a threat to society. And he labeled them with words like moron, imbecile, and retarded.

They were scientific terms because they came from a very esteemed professor at Stanford University. They were clean, they were neutral, they were necessary. But behind that scientific veneer was a horrifying machine of control. Then also at Stanford was a guy named David Starr Jordan, the founding president of Stanford. He was a man of vision. He helped form the Human Betterment Foundation, a group that lobbied for and celebrated the force sterilization of people deemed unfit because they were morons or imbeciles or retarded. And sterilized they did.

Over 20,000 people in California alone, mostly women, mostly poor, many of them immigrants, many of them black, indigenous, or Mexican. They were labeled retarded or feeble-minded, mentally defective, all clinical words used as instruments of violence. People were taken into institutions. Their reproductive organs were removed permanently by the state of California and many other progressive states. Sometimes with consent, often without it, but they were too stupid to really understand anyway. And if you think it ended there, no, no, it really didn't. The Nazis were watching. German doctors and bureaucrats studied California's eugenics laws. They admired the efficiency

of all of it. They admired how we turned science into policy. That we used labels like unfit so we could sterilize people out of the gene pool. They read the publications of the Human Betterment Foundation. They invited California eugenesis to Germany. They used our model to build the foundation of their own final solution. Wait, Germans got them from California. Yes, yes. Stanford University. So let me be clear here. The danger was never in what a kid said on the playground.

The danger was never the word retarded. The danger is in the system built by progressives, built by doctors and scientists and reformers who believe they can fix all the mankind by controlling who was allowed to reproduce, deciding who's fit to live freely and who wasn't. You see, this is what progressivism does. It forgets human nature.

It ignores the soul. It all starts with good intentions. Oh, let's help the poor. Let's improve education. Let's solve mental illness. But it always ends the same way. Cold, brutal calculation. It ends with the state deciding that some people are beyond fixing.

And once you believe that, well, the next step is elimination. Anybody who didn't take the COVID vaccine. Do you remember what they were saying? We need to re-educate them. They're too dangerous. We need to re-educate them. Maybe we should put them in camps. Australia did it. That's what progressivism does.

So what's the solution? Well, we just have to ban words. We have to pretend that language is the problem. Uh-huh. No, the problem was and is and always will be the ideology that weaponizes science, dehumanizes the vulnerable and says, well, the ends justify the means.

You know, it's moral all along. I mean, as long as we, you know, we're fixing humans. By the way, just so you know, these names are known to people who go to Stanford. Stanford still has buildings and honors bearing these names. They still celebrate the legacy of men who stood up for cleansing of the gene pool, who said, the experts. They're the experts. And what they gave us was sterilization, segregation, and a blueprint for genocide at Stanford University. So you want to talk about dangerous words, CNN? Things that might

offend your delicate sensibilities. It's not the word retarded. It's the word progressivism coupled with science, coupled with control of government. That's what it is. You want a word that should offend you? It's progress when it's untethered from morality. It doesn't heal. It destroys. The word wasn't and never is the crime.

The crime was committed in silence, in surgical rooms, in files labeled unfit. and the people who committed it called themselves compassionate, just like the progressives do today. Lather, rinse, repeat. Lather, rinse, repeat. They called themselves scientific. They called themselves the greatest mind. They said they knew better than everyone else. Lather, rinse, repeat. That's the truth about the word retarded.

that's the truth about the evils of progressivism. And the more you again try to force people to think like you do, it's not just changing people's mind. You are forcing people to do it. You are shaming them. You are canceling them. You're throwing them out of society. You're throwing them out of business.

You're throwing them off the air. because you know better. Well, when that doesn't work, if you believe the ends justified the means, what is the next step you'll be willing to take and then cover up that you had anything to do with it? I don't know. Maybe we should read Jake Tapper's book

and see if that lather rinse repeat works on any other subject.
