Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm going to take you way, way ahead of everybody else, and I'm going to show you what the future is, how things are going to split up and the arguments of the future are going to be in probably the nearest, nearsh future. Because the pieces are all beginning to fit together. You know, when Bill Gates comes out and says, you know, it looks like the climate crisis isn't as bad as we thought it was, really. And then you have Amazon cutting 30,000 workers. What you're seeing is the beginning of the fight for energy and jobs. by the big tech people. And there is a split with technology and AI and Marxism, communism, fascism.
Starting point is 00:00:38 It all boils down to what are you actually for, not against. We'll talk about that. And I did something on what is true. You know, try to explain how important it is to do your own homework with what you believe on online theories. And Carol Roth joins us for a look at the economy. All that and more on today's podcast. First, let me tell you about preborn. Every life begins the same way, small, dependent, and full of potential, but not every life is
Starting point is 00:01:06 welcomed with support. Some women are facing pressure, financial stress, and fear that nobody else sees. Many are told, you know, you're on your own, but preborn refuses to let that be the end of the story. They provide free ultrasounds that expectant mothers see. And, you know, with that beginning and the counseling that follows the material support, the relationship that lasts, they don't just say choose life and walk away. They say choose life.
Starting point is 00:01:35 Mom chooses life out of love, and then they stick around to build a foundation for that life to thrive. Choosing life is not just a decision, it's a journey, and it requires strength and guidance and community. And Preborn is expanding their efforts right now. Get involved.

Starting point is 00:02:08 Hello America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
Starting point is 00:02:42 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up. Help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, make sure you get your no king but Christ gear at glenbeck.com.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Our, our glenbeck.com store is open. I'm wearing the no king but Christ a polo shirt right now. This is an old colonial symbol with the skull and crossbones and a crown floating above the head, meaning the kings are human. They die. But the crown is eternal and it only belongs on the head of Christ. No king but crown. Christ, you can get them now at glenbeck.com.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Let me move something up. I was going to talk about this next hour, but I think this will help people really understand what is coming and why I put this chalkboard together to show you how this is going to shake out in the future. And why you really need to pay attention to the things that are happening right now. Forget about, is Donald Trump going to run in 2028? He's trolling. Don't you get it?
Starting point is 00:04:07 He's strolling. So can we talk about real issues? Let me tell you about the coming blackout. Right now, in the last few days, there is a group of lawmakers in the Mid-Atlantic in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia. They're all sounding the alarm. And they're sounding the alarm because they believe,
Starting point is 00:04:28 and I do too, that the worst power bill crisis in a generation is happening right now, skyrocketing bills. and strained grids. How is it? This is happening. We've drilled baby drilled. We've put new power plants online or old power plants. We've brought back online.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Well, they're saying that part of the problem is all this new green energy crap. And everybody is still saying, we've got to have green energy. You've got to have green energy. I just want you to hear me out here for a second. So I'm going to give you the reality of what's going on. Green energy is wonderful, I guess. but it is absolutely a thing that will set us back 100 years plus. Green energy does not work for the America of 2000.
Starting point is 00:05:20 It certainly doesn't work today. Every single month, a new server farm is breaking ground somewhere in America. Once a month, that means 12 new server farms this year. That is going to snowball. By the end of 2026, you will be seeing them built and breaking ground maybe one a week. What we have so far, not building things small here,
Starting point is 00:05:45 each one of these data centers, which is feeding artificial intelligence, crypto, cloud computing, they consume as much power as 50 homes all the time. Told you at the beginning of the hour, Bill Gates has just come out and said, you know what? Global warming is not as bad as we thought it was.
Starting point is 00:06:05 It's so laughable because it is so transparent. He's so evil. It's not as bad as every thought it was. We've got to get off this global warming bandwagon. We've got to do some things, but we need power plants. I'll tell you that right now. Why? You know who Bill Gates' partner is?
Starting point is 00:06:21 Open AI. Chat GPT. That's his partner. So we know why he's off this bandwagon because they're struggling right now to find enough electricity for what they're currently running, let alone the next generation of systems. You have Google, Meta, Amazon that are buying up land next to every major substation that they can find because they know what's coming. But wait a minute, they're building it near substations. Wait, wait, hold on. Are you taking the power from my home? In many cases, yes. Listen to this.
Starting point is 00:07:05 This is from the International Energy Agency. This is something they just released. Global Data Center power will double by the end of 2026. That is equivalent to adding another Japan to our energy demand. Another Japan. And that's just for computers and server farms. Adding Japan, what are we building to be able? to serve that? Not enough. Ireland has just begun restricting the new data centers. Now,
Starting point is 00:07:43 here's what's going to happen. You're going to restrict them and it's going to leave you in the past. Now, maybe you want to be left in the past. And that's what that chalkboard is about. Maybe you want to be left in the past. But Ireland has just said, no more server farms, we can't do it. Parts of the Netherlands, Singapore, Singapore, Sweden. They are freezing construction now on. on all server farms because their grids can't handle the demand already. Tokyo's grid is so strained by the server farms that they have. Blackouts have already occurred in Tokyo during peak hours. China, which is building a new coal fire plant, every week, is rationing power to factories
Starting point is 00:08:27 so they can keep the AI data hubs running. So what happens when we shut down coal and stall nuclear and depend on sunshine and windmills? What happens? Who's powering the cloud? PJM, this is mid-Atlantic grid, PJM is one that runs it, one of the largest in the world. They say their grid in the mid-Atlantic is already at the breaking point. They have warned, quote, of critically tight capacity, meaning one bad storm, one bad heat wave, one bad cold spell, and you've got rolling blackouts.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Okay? Why? Because the last administration retired reliable fossil fuel plants faster than we could replace them. We didn't replace them. So we're already behind the eight ball. And now the surge and the search for power is on. In Maryland alone, energy production has dropped as consumption has surged.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Why? Because of the data centers. Virginia's data center corridor, which is, you know, the economic crown jewel of Virginia, this giant data center corridor that happens in Virginia. It now consumes. Now, today, you're still figuring out what AI does, okay? It now consumes one-fifth of Virginia's total energy output. One-fifth. Today.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Why is your electricity price going up? Why have eggs gone down? They're back to over a dollar or a dozen. Why has gas gone down? It's now back to the price it was in 2018 or 19. Why are these prices going down? Yet your energy costs are skyrocketing. Chat, GPT, AI, all the things that Amazon just fired 30,000 people because they're going to replace
Starting point is 00:10:30 them with electric robots and machines and AI. That takes power. Imagine, you know, what happens to your price of housing when you import 10 million people? The price of housing goes through the roof and nobody can afford a house. What happens to electricity when all those people are not powered on food or, you know, have to live in a house, but just need electricity? when you have all that electricity demand for these AI systems and bots, of course the price is going to go through the roof,
Starting point is 00:11:04 especially if we are at the same time that the demand is going up, we're saying limit the number of power plants. Let's go all green. If you want green energy, and you've known this, we've said this, it's degrowth. But listen to me carefully. I am not throwing you under the bus. If you want green energy,
Starting point is 00:11:28 then you have to recognize, and maybe you're fine with this, probably are, no Bitcoin, no AI, and no modern digital economy. It doesn't exist. If you want AI and the server farms
Starting point is 00:11:42 and the EVs and your self-driving car, digital infrastructure, you must start building power plants in your state right now. The problem, is these two realities cannot coexist. So we're going to see a split in the country. Okay. The climate cult, as they're calling it, it's going to run headlong into artificial intelligence. And when that happens, lights go out in your house. So what do you do? Let me give you two options.
Starting point is 00:12:18 If you live in a state and you want to go net zero, you now have to do. You now have to do. demand right now that they stop approving new server farms in your state because that is in direct conflict with your green agenda. You cannot live in a state that is building new server farms or is supplying power to server farms across the border to another state. You must pass laws right now, and I'm not for this, but I'm just giving you the option if you're for a green energy revolution, you must stop all server farms being built in your state, or they will bleed you dry, and you must also pass a law saying we are not selling our electricity over state lines for a server farm.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Got to do it. Got to do it now. You cannot run a trillion parameter AI model on ferry dust or solar power. wind power. It doesn't happen. Now, if you believe in innovation, if you believe in the free market, if you believe in progress, if you believe in AI, you got to call your state reps right now and demand new stable, high output energy plants. The president is saying that all of these companies that are building these server farms must be responsible for their own power. They must build their own power plant.
Starting point is 00:13:52 You don't get anything from the grid, but that's not happening. So you need to go to your state rep and say they cannot take the grid power. They cannot take the power from the people. They have to create their own power. And I would say, and in fact, if they want to do it in the state, they must put some excess power into the grid. Because they're the ones that are going to be able to build the nuclear power. plant, not your state, they will. Gas, nuclear, hydro, whatever it takes,
Starting point is 00:14:25 you need to call your state and say, we want power and we want the grids and we want the server farms. But if you are apathetic on this or if you are ignorant on this and you don't begin to act now, you are going to be, you're going to be, you're going to be, you know, at the whims of whoever it is that's running your state. California, we know which way you're going. But are you building server farms as well?
Starting point is 00:14:58 Because if you are, Utah, you should pass a law. We are not going to sell any more power to California. Because they will take your power to fund their server farms, not the people, their server farms, they will buy more power from you, which, if they're buying it from you, do you have enough for your server farms and your people in your state? Most likely, no. Unless you are doubling down on energy building right now. This is the near-term problem.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Believe it or not, by the end of 2026, everybody will be very well aware of what energy is costing them and what server farms are doing to the stability of our grid. Unless people act right now. And, you know, it's one thing to act at the federal level. This has to be at your local level. And quite honestly, I want the energy in Texas. I do not want to ship our energy someplace else for somebody else's server farm if they're not pulling their own weight on electricity.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Because Texas is going to have server farms out the wazoo. We are building the power plants. We're not building them fast enough, but we are building them. And until we know our population, which is growing exponentially, our population can have the power they need to live, survive, and work. And the server farms that we are building, they have their power as well. There shouldn't be any. There shouldn't be one kilowatt that is going across our border,
Starting point is 00:16:52 especially to states who are green. But this one's going to be up to you. Let me tell you about relief factor. There's a difference between getting older and feeling old. You know the moment you catch yourself saying, I used to do that. Maybe it was hiking and gardening, but I can't get on the floor anymore. And you're like 40.
Starting point is 00:17:15 And you're like, what is happening to me? what's happening to you is work, stress, time. Before you know it, everything starts to hurt, muscles tighten, and everyday tasks feel like they just take a little more out of you than they used to. Relief factor was created for that moment. When you're ready to get back into living instead of managing, it's a daily fight against inflation. Sorry, inflammation and inflation. Inflammation. That's what causes most of our problems in life. Wait, can we just give the government relief factor? I would love to. I would love that. I would love that. to. There's still more in life for you. More conversations, more projects, more places to go, people to laugh with. Get three-week quick start right now. Try for only 1995. Get Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief. Find relief now, 1-800, the number four. Relief. Now, back to the podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Carol, welcome to the program. Hi, Glenn. How are you? Good. Can you tell me what's going on in Argentina? First of all, the currency swap. We didn't make a loan to Argentina. We made a currency swap, which, you know, I'm not really,
Starting point is 00:18:28 I'm not really fond of the, uh, what is it the peso or what, what, what is their currency down in Argentina? The Argentinian peso, you don't have a bunch of those in your vault with all your gold and silver. No, no, I don't. I know. Um, but we do now because we currency swapped, right? Yeah. So this is, yeah, this is not. just giving money to Argentina for its government to spend. This is a financial support, which, by the way, currency swaps are not something that's unusual. We do this all the time with our allies, with Japan and Canada and whatnot. What is unusual in this particular situation is how it's affected. So basically what happened is that we gave the Argentinian Central Bank dollars. We took a as collateral the peso, and that is meant to support the Argentinian peso and help to stabilize its currency. And a couple of things of note.
Starting point is 00:19:32 One is how it was done is interesting, because normally when we do currency swaps and we have these lines, it's done through the Federal Reserve, our central bank. This time, it was not. It was done through the Treasury through something called the ESF, the Exchange, stabilization fund, which is sort of a black box fund that allows Treasury to move quickly. You don't need Jay Powell. You don't need the approval of Congress in order to do these things. And that's what it was built for, to stabilize currency in friendly countries. And in the U.S., by the way.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I can talk about the history and how we've used it in the U.S. before, but just to kind of get to the Argentinium point, we did this before the election to help, you know, things for Malay so that his government could win. But we didn't do this because we think Malay is a good guy, and we didn't do this because we think he has fabulous hair, even though we do think that. The reason we did this is to secure
Starting point is 00:20:32 our interest, because you know who has been making a play in Argentina and throughout Latin America. Do you know who's had a long-term currency swap line and plays with Argentina? It's another country, and I'll give you all a hint, it rhymes with China.
Starting point is 00:20:49 So China's influence all around the world with their belt and road initiatives where they're trying to dominate traditional infrastructure, digital infrastructure, financial infrastructure. We are trying to kick out their influence for national security reasons. Also, it just so happens that Argentina has the second largest reserve of lithium, as well as a smaller set of reserves of other rare earth elements that we need access to for our economic economic and national security. So that is what is underpinning all of this
Starting point is 00:21:25 is because we don't want to be speaking Mandarin one day. It is amazing how Donald Trump, people just don't understand this. Everything he's doing in South America, he is realigning the globe. He is doing his own version of America first, Great Reset, and he's just doing it by himself.
Starting point is 00:21:47 I mean, it's pretty incredible, isn't it, Carol? It really is, and this is why, you know, I remember when we first had the discussion about Scott Bessent, is he the right person for Treasury? And I, you know, I eased everyone's concerns. Scott Bessett made his fortune on foreign currency exchange. There is nobody who understands the machinations of how you use currency to support countries and also, you know, the impact on political influence like Scott Besson. So he has been side by side with President Trump, who has said, you know, China's influence in South America is a national security issue. It's a priority. And, you know, at this time when we're seeing a reset of the global financial order, and you have China making this very big play at the same time when we really have a serious issue with our fiscal foundation, at a minimum, we need to make sure that we have our hemisphere, you know, locked down before we can.
Starting point is 00:22:46 do anything else. And China has really been focused on making inroads in Latin America, and that is what this is all about. And it's not just about the currency swap. You talked about the importation of Argentinian beef. That is a piece of it as well. And we have to support U.S. ranchers. We have to make it easier for them to do business. We have to remove regulation. But this extra piece from Argentina, this is a long-term play. And I know that it's hard, for people who are ranchers and who are dealing with this day to day. But this is a long-term play for national security because otherwise it's not going to be Argentinian beef. It's going to be China that owns everything.
Starting point is 00:23:27 So I'm looking at Venezuela what's happening there. And I don't think that's about drug running. I mean, you know, it is about drug running, but it's not. It's about, again, taking control of this hemisphere. True or false? Absolutely. I mean, and this is a, this is a, this is a, even you or I guessing about this.
Starting point is 00:23:49 This has been a stated goal of the Trump administration. One of the great things about the Trump administration is Trump, whether he intends to or not, is incredibly transparent. He will tell you what is coming. He will tell you the things that he is going to do, even if they're couched in a different wrapper, you can look through that wrapper and see what that candy is on the inside. And he tells us about that candy. So he has been very clear that, you know, in a different.
Starting point is 00:24:16 addition to the commodities and the rarest elements and all these things that are very plentiful in South America. We need to make sure that we have within our allies control so that we can have access to. You do not want China to have military relationships and other very strong relationships within South America because we know what that means long term for the United States. How is Trump doing overall? I think he's doing quite well. I think from a foreign policy perspective, and I've said this during the last administration,
Starting point is 00:24:54 it's funny you think of him as a business guy, but from a foreign policy perspective, he's been absolutely just killing it, crushing it. He's been doing a great job in terms of securing the borders. Obviously, we'd like to see more deportations, but they're certainly trying and have some roadblocks. And I think from an economic standpoint, the fact that he has this long-term, lens, even though some of the machinations I don't agree with. These are the important things. I mean, this is finally an administration who goes, wait, our military stockpile is at risk
Starting point is 00:25:29 because we do not have the components and the supply chain to be able to make product. We're dependent upon products from other countries and assume that they're going to sell us those products so that we can have missile to defend ourselves against them. That doesn't make any sense. So finally, we have people who are addressing the long-term problems. And I think the most important thing for our country right now is that we have the runway because we cannot, you know, in three years or three and a half years, turn over the reins to another set of people who want to undo all of this,
Starting point is 00:26:02 who hate the United States, who want to walk that back. We need people like President Trump, like the people he's developing, who understand the long-term issues that we face that have been built, up over many years from this broken fiscal foundation from both parties, but that's where we are today, and he's doing the hard work to try to fix that, and it's not necessarily apparent to everyone who doesn't understand at this level, but it is so critical for this very important reset that we're going to have. So I know that you're not a fan of tariffs.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I'm not a fan of tariffs. Correct. However, the things that have been happening, the tariffs are not doing what everybody thought they would do. Why is that? Well, I don't necessarily agree that they're not doing what people thought they would do. I think that there's been a bit of overhype on how things are presented. So do tariffs make it more expensive for businesses and consumers to buy certain goods and services? Yes, and that has happened.
Starting point is 00:27:13 And I've seen that with my own eyes, with my own company and joint venture partners and other small businesses across the country. There are small businesses that have had major burdens. These are the things we thought would happen, and they are happening. In terms of creating runaway inflation, I don't think anybody said that at the levels they are. They said that when he kicked him up to 100%, which he walked back. But we also know when you look at inflation data that the way that that's can.
Starting point is 00:27:41 calculated, there's a lot of picking and choosing and substitutions. So of course, when you say, oh, well, if, you know, this particular product is being hit too much, someone's going to substitute into this, of course, it's not going to show up in the same way in the numbers as it affects people in their day-to-day lives. So, again, I think it's that nuanced understanding. It's the same thing, you know, when people said, hey, why am I at the grocery store and everything's 30% higher? And they're telling us inflation under Biden is that, you know, 4%. We know, we know, know that that has to do with the calculation. So I think that tariffs are causing some issues and some pain, and hopefully that can be sorted out in time. But absent that particular strategy,
Starting point is 00:28:25 I think other things that he's doing on the American front to shore up our security from an economic and national security standpoint make a lot of sense. And Carol, I mean, I think a lot of people lose sight because it was just such a big issue. You know, look, but trade is important. important, but it is also not a huge part of our economy. Do I write that it's, you know, imported goods are about 10 percent of our economies? Is that the number sound about right? You know, it's a small percent. I would want to go back and verify the number because I have so many things rolling around my head today. And that's not one that's top of mind, but it's not a meaningful percent of our direct economy, but where it does impact is that there's componentry
Starting point is 00:29:09 that then flows through the economy. It affects domestic goods and services. So even if on a headline basis, it doesn't seem like it's that important, it can flow through the rest of the economy and create a drag and create some issues there. You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck. Need a little more?
Starting point is 00:29:29 Check out the full show podcasts. Anywhere you download podcasts. When's the last time you just found yourself scrolling online, Stu? It does happen to the best of us. It does happen to the best. And I did last night and I found myself in crazy town. Quickly. Crazy town.
Starting point is 00:29:50 My gosh, conspiracy after conspiracy after conspiracy. It's like falling down a staircase made of madness. Every step you're hearing you're like, ow, cow, cow, go, go. I don't know if you know this, but Trump is secretly planning to run in 2028. No, he's not. He's trolling you. What is wrong with you?
Starting point is 00:30:12 I don't know if you know this, but Erica Kirk is in league with Donald Trump and the Jews. They killed Charlie Kirk. Erica was behind it. She knew. She called off the police. It's madness. This is literal insanity. You know, I was watching some of these things and I thought, this is, I mean, this honestly is making the most alcohol fuel days of Alex Jones seem like Walter Cronkite's most credible moments. What is happening? It's because it's everywhere.
Starting point is 00:30:49 It's everywhere. And the bad news is some of it's being laundered by credible hosts. I don't know if you saw the Robbie Starbucks story. This one's horrible because this is what's coming. Have you seen the Robbie Starbucks story? So Rob Rob, Robbie Starbuck, this story is one we should all learn from. Robbie, an actual public figure, a husband, a husband, a father is now suing Google and Google AI because it fabricated entire stories about him for
Starting point is 00:31:18 two solid years. Now, we've talked to him about this. It invented fake police records. It wrote fake timelines. For two years, Google's artificial intelligence said he was on Jeffrey Epstein's list and had been arrested for unspeakable crimes. And just made it all up. No arrests, no real record, none of it, no truth to any of it, but just AI. The machine that we're told is going to save us, made it all up. And it was relentless. And scroll up next, the death of Charlie Kirk, one of the most public executions in America. We all saw the footage.
Starting point is 00:32:06 We all saw it. We wish we could unsee it. but within hours the internet had already decided it was the Jews in league with his own team and Israel was paying for it and covering up the truth oh now you know what I love about this is you know most of the accounts are anonymous a source close oh who is that source an anonymous account a screenshot now of headlines that never existed
Starting point is 00:32:45 and many of these things either began or ended with the phrase if this is true it means well la la la la la la la well if it's true I guess it changes everything if the sun
Starting point is 00:33:04 is actually a giant light bulb and it's 25 miles in the sky if that's true then everything we know about space is wrong but it's not a light bulb 25 miles up in the sky oh that if
Starting point is 00:33:23 if if is becoming the gateway it's the gateway drug to paranoia okay now I have to tell you There'll be many on the left who are like, I can't believe Glenn Beck, the chief conspiracy theorist is out there saying about conspiracy. I wasn't a conspiracy theorist. Mine were based in facts, documents.
Starting point is 00:33:52 I would hold the document on the air. Read it. Read it for yourself. Go to blah, blah, blah. Go to blah, blah.gov and find it yourself. I would show you the money trails. the real quotes from people saying, you know what I'm going to do,
Starting point is 00:34:11 if I ever get my way, I'm going to make sure this country is communist. You know, if I ever get my way, I'm going to kill all those people. I showed you those quotes, not, you know, if he said that, if that's true, no, I showed you what was true. You start with what people actually are doing,
Starting point is 00:34:38 what you can't. hand-proof, not what if I told you. Somebody says they're going to overthrow the West. Believe them. Take them at their word. Let's start there. Not with the missing piece, you know, the missing piece that, I don't know, if we could just find this piece, then it would all fit together, wouldn't it?
Starting point is 00:35:03 Yeah, well, it would. Let me explain to you the danger of this and what you need to understand. All of this is predictable. In fact, I predicted it in about 2006, and I used the moonshot as an example. And I used George W. Bush and the lies of weapons of mass destruction as an example. Because these things were not true, if our government doesn't start correcting these things, having people pay for the crimes of, I lied. Yes, I lied. I shouldn't have lied.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Maybe you go to jail for that lie. But you at least pay a price for that lie. And unless those things are cleared up, I said, right now, the number of people who believe we went to the moon is 93%. 7% don't believe we went to the moon. You get 7% to believe just about anything. But mark my words, if we don't correct that, you will see it in the number of people who no longer believe we went to the moon.
Starting point is 00:36:18 This is in 2006. Have you met people who say, we never went to the moon? We never went to the moon. That was all a lie. I met lots of them. Lots of them. And a lot of them, I think, I thought, that's a pretty intelligent person. You know, I've been watching this thing on the internet.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Oh, really? Really? Anybody who gets their news from the internet is dumber than somebody who doesn't get their news from anywhere. Just don't get news over than getting your news from the scrolling online. I get all my news, you know, from Facebook. I get everything I need to know from X. Oh, really? You're a moron.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Here's the problem. Our government has lost all of its credibility. Our institutions, their trust has evaporated, and this madness is only going to grow. Because if you no longer believe in anything, you will believe everything. That's what's happening. You can't argue with this stuff because you'll say, that didn't happen. Wait, you mean that if Erica did it and the Jews did it, that means that Donald Trump is in on it. That's right.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Oh, my, okay, your whole world has just fallen apart. Everything that you thought you believed is gone now. We are drowning in digital rumors because we stop trusting our own ability to find what's real. Let me ask you. And that's an honest question. Is there a public voice that you trust today that will tell you, it's not as bad as you think it is. Is there anybody that you trust that is saying,
Starting point is 00:38:24 you know what, don't, don't go there. Please don't go there. Is there anybody that you trust that will say, you know what, I used to think this, but I don't think that anymore. Because if they can't say that, then they're not a thinking human being. If they're exactly the way they were 25 years ago,
Starting point is 00:38:46 they are dead inside. They're not searching for anything. because everything in the world has changed. But that doesn't mean you throw everything. We didn't go to the moon. Yes, we did. Yes, we did. Yes, we did.
Starting point is 00:39:06 I don't trust the media. I don't trust Congress. I honestly don't trust the FBI. I don't know who to trust. I don't know who to trust. And I'm not alone. You're not alone. According to Gallup, Trust in newspapers has dropped 18%.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Who knew newspapers were even being printed? television news is at 14%. That's an all-time low. And when nobody believes anything, everyone starts believing everything and anyone. People that you've never... I know people who have listened to me for years. I've trusted you for a long time. But I just saw Bozo... Bozo the nose clown.
Starting point is 00:39:49 You mean Bozo the clown? No. Something entirely different. and I've never even heard of this guy. But I heard him say this, and I believe him over you. Really? Boso the nose clown. You've never seen him before.
Starting point is 00:40:03 You don't know anything about him. But somehow or another, he's earned your respect in that 47 second video that disproves to you, all my credibility has gone, who you've listened to for years. Wow. you're a thinking human being. We are weeks. I don't believe years. We are weeks away.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Months, probably more accurate, from you no longer being able to believe your eyes at all. That has always been the test. I'll believe it when I see it. Well, you're going to see deep fakes and you're not going to know what to believe. I mean, deep fakes already fake major newsrooms. They fools newsrooms. Last year, the Pentagon had to issue a correction
Starting point is 00:40:55 because a fake AI-generated explosion photo near the White House caused a brief dip in the stock market. It wasn't true. But act on it, act on it, act on it. That's how fragile the truth has become, and it's only going to get worse. Some of the conspiracies that are floating around right now say that foreign money is infiltrating groups like Turning Point USA.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Maybe, could be, could be. Wouldn't doubt it. I think foreign money is trying to influence everything. We're vulnerable right now. But here's the question I don't hear anybody asking. Is there any foreign money funding the conspiracy themselves? Troll farms in St. Petersburg, the Chinese bot networks, amplifying division on both the left and the right? I mean, we have the facts, according to cybersecurity firm recorded future, Russia and China run coordinated campaigns
Starting point is 00:41:58 every single day pushing disinformation designed to make Americans hate each other. Let me ask you this question. Who benefits when we tear ourselves apart? Who gains when we can't agree on anything, not even reality? I'll give you a hint. You don't win. I don't win. America doesn't win.
Starting point is 00:42:28 There's only one way to solve this that I can think of at this time. You have to have the spirit with you. You just have to have the spirit with you. You have to have something that will testify to you of truth when you can't find it. Second thing is, know what you're for, not what you're against. So many of these conspiracies are built on what you're against or you're supposed to be against. Look for the things that you're for. What is it that you're for?
Starting point is 00:43:00 because when everything becomes a conspiracy, when everyone becomes the enemy, when every, if this is true, becomes your next truth, you're standing up against everything and you're not standing for anything. You're standing for nothing. And that's how civilizations fall. How many people do you know that are standing for something? Not against. Civilizations fall not through invasion, but through infection. Infection. Infection. of the mind and the spirit and of the truth itself, know what you're for. Before you share that next breaking post, they say, stop and ask yourself, who does this benefit? Is this for something or against something? Before you say, if this is true, stop yourself. Who benefits if just I believe this? because the real conspiracy here, the one that is really sweeping America, the one are enemies. And I mean that spiritually and temporally, the real enemies of the truth.
Starting point is 00:44:20 The real conspiracy is the one that convinces you to stop believing in truth altogether. And we are close to that. Find the things that you know are true and build on those things. It's really scary. It's really scary. But it is so freeing when you'll just clean out everything that you think you believe, but you haven't earned that yourself. I started with religion.
Starting point is 00:44:57 I was taught. I listened to other people. I didn't find God myself. I didn't search myself. It was taught to me. Well, you can't live on somebody else's testimony. Is your testimony of this country? Is your testimony of why you believe in the free market system, if you do,
Starting point is 00:45:15 or why you believe in Marxism? Because you've torn it apart? Because you've looked at it from all sides? Most likely not. But that's the only way you can actually defend something. Otherwise, you're just going to be blowing in the wind. And that's what's happening. We're all blowing in the wind.
Starting point is 00:45:34 What was true today suddenly because, Bozo the nose is on. All of a sudden, nope, I don't believe any of that stuff anymore. Because there's something in you that tells you you're being lied to. And you are being lied to. You are. But go deeper.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Look for the things that are true. You cannot find the truth if you don't have some sort of rock you're standing on. You will be blown apart and lost at sea. Find the rock first and build on that rock. Then you can go online and go, that's true. That's not true. That's true. That I should investigate some more. There's lots of things that I don't believe are true that I'm investigating.
Starting point is 00:46:26 I want to know. But you can't do it if you don't know who you are and what anchors you. Please, anchor yourself. and then anchor your family.
