The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program | Guest: Todd Bensman | 5/15/23

Episode Date: May 15, 2023

Glenn uses the poem “The Gods of the Copybook Headings” by Rudyard Kipling to help explain where we are in society. Todd Bensman, author of “Overrun,” joins to discuss what he witnessed at the Texans-Mexico border as Title 42 expired, involving thousands of immigrants being allowed entry. Glenn discusses the strengths and weaknesses of both parties and the dangers of those weaknesses taking over, such as with the invention of AI. Learn more about your ad choices.

These poor people are at the beginning of the show right now, and they're like, what could happen today? What's going to be discussed? They have no idea. They have no idea. What kind of ride there? I mean, this is, you know, this is like take your hands and place them on the steering wheel and bear down a bit

because we're about to hit launch. Right. And all your organs are going to just like hit the back of the seat after about one and a half seconds. To give you just some idea, I ended the show pleading for it to actually stop early so we could end the madness. I think that was a real true pledge. I think that was like a plea. He was like, please, how do we make this show over?

Because every minute we got closer and closer to being taken off the air forever. Well, it was a good show. Yeah. They often are. You like truth. There's no more shows after. This is the show for you. There you go.

Brought to you by Relief Factor. Oh, I had some things to say about Relief Factor today, too, didn't I? Yeah. did. That one I probably should probably take back, you know. Not that it was a lie, just, uh, it'll cost me money. And that is much more important than the truth, don't you think, Stu? Anyway, relief fact, he's dead inside after the day show. This is the first time I've worn him out. Um, I've dealt with severe pain for years. Relief factor was the thing that really helped me. I didn't believe it would work because it was some boob like me on the radio saying that it

would work and my wife heard it. And she's like, have you tried Relief Factor? I'm like, no, it's some boob on the radio. What is I? I don't know why I dismissed it, but she didn't. And so I started taking it. And it worked for me. In three weeks, I saw a difference. And I've been taking it ever since. Try the three-week quick start. 1995 trial pack. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor. 70% of them go on to order more. Relieffactor.com are called 800 for relief 800 the number four relief relief factor.com feel the difference here's the podcast good luck you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program oh my gosh have you seen the border is great going well is great never been better well well maybe but it's fixed now uh at least

that's what you hear from uh the wonderful and uh and just uh lovely talented dancers at the White House this weekend. And fortunately, for them, all of the people in the media. You know, I've been thinking about, oh, the future. And my first thought is, ah, don't make any plans. My second thought, my second thought is, you know, we're waking up. America really is waking up. I have some stuff that came out a few years ago from Clousewold.

that nobody would have believed, you know, when it came out originally seven years ago. And now it's starting to make the rounds again and people are like, did you know about this Klaus Schwab guy? And now the good news is he can't say that stuff anymore. I mean, that may be bad news because now they just keep it in secret. But we know now that they're keeping stuff in secret. So we're past their voodoo magic. You know what I mean? Part of the problems with their strategy, which is always first deny.

is that they usually go on record on this stuff before people know what it is. They will openly discuss it. They can't wait. They think that they're in the majority. Or I think a better understanding of this is that they really, they really don't care about the average person. I've got some stuff. In fact, would you call Ricky and ask her to get hold of Tristan and see if I can get that quote he gets. me last week. There's unbelievable stuff going on with these people who just think they're

better than everybody else. And I just want to ask you where we are on this. When I first read this from Rudyard Kipling, Gods of the Copybook headings, I thought, wow, that's pretty good. What the hell does that mean? And then I did my research on it and found out that Rudyard Kipling was a guy who was standing against all of these experts right before World's. And World War I, who were like, you know what, it's going to be great. Ah, yeah, a few people will die. But we're going to be able to restructure all of Europe. And it'll be a utopia.

And he's like, yeah, but people are going to die a lot of them. I don't think so. I don't think so. I do. And the people aren't for the dying part of your plan. Yeah, they don't know. So after World War I, he decided to write a warning. For anybody who cared to listen, he said, because it would happen again.

These same experts would come up. Now, this is something that I really want to make clear. Don't listen to the experts. Okay. Tell me what one of these experts has gotten right. Tell me what the Treasury or the Fed has. gotten right. Tell me what the experts at the Pentagon have gotten right. Tell me what the banking community has done right. I mean the big banks, the experts in the big banks.

What have they gotten right? Stop listening to them. Listen to yourself. This is the biggest difference between the progressive era and America. America used to say, you know, I know this is a hundred and some years ago, but we used to say, believe in the people. Believe in the people. Believe in the people. They're going to get it wrong from time to time, but they'll eventually figure it out and get it right. Believe in the people for inventions. Believe in the people for advancement. Now, our entire society is geared to the people are ridiculously stupid and don't even talk to them. Don't even tell them the truth. They don't need to know the truth. Okay. That's a lie. and we are stupid and uninformed because we've been treated this way for about a hundred and some years.

And so everybody's like, I don't know. I don't have a degree in Flamabalowitz University. So why should I have opinions? Oh, if you're not a biologist, surely you can't know what a woman is. Exactly right. Exactly right. I go to a nightclub or something and I'm like, I don't know. are you a dude? Are you a woman?

I don't think there should be a problem of me finding out when we finally, you know, hitch up whether a man or a woman. And it makes no difference to me because I didn't go to some fancy university. Okay. So let me just take you through this and tell me where we are, Stu. I think we're on the right side of this now. I think all the bad stuff is really starting to, has already started to happen. And so we're like, oh, wait a minute, that poem that that Roger guy wrote might have been right. So listen to this.

As I pass through my incarnations of every age and race, I make the proper prestations to the gods of the marketplace. Peering through reverent fingers, I watch them, flourish and fall. And the gods of the copy book headings, I noticed, outlasts them all. So gods of the copy of bookheadings, just a quick reminder. Those are the things that you used to have to write at the top of the page when you were in school. You'd practice your cursive or your letters. And you would, you know, water will wet, fire will burn, all the things that everybody agreed on. In the old days, God is good.

And you would trace those. And those were all things that everybody knew was true. And so he's saying here, you know, I've already genuflected to all of the modern gods, and I watch them through my folded hands as I'm praying to them. And I noticed that the things that we always said were true outlast that every time over and over and over again. We were living in the trees when they met us, the things that are true, they showed us, each in turn that water would certainly wet us and fire would certainly burn. Now, here's the new part that we were entering into just a couple decades ago.

But we found them lacking in uplift, vision, breadth of mind. So we left them to teach the guerrillas while we followed the march of mankind. Happen? We're the guerrillas, by the way, the non-experts, the one that didn't go to flabwe, Womwich University? And I got a decree and, you know, things that chicks do that they don't like. Well, we don't call them chicks because I have a university document. Okay.

We're the guerrillas left behind. We moved as the spirit listed, but they never altered their pace. Beard being neither cloud nor wind-born like the gods of the, the marketplace. But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come that a tribe had been wiped off its ice field and the lights had gone out in Rome. Let me ask you, does that sound a little like, oh, I don't know, California? We're going into this great utopia, where everything's going to be marvelous, and energy is going to be flowing like rivers, which we shall never dam. But it's going to be flowing like crazy with this new kind of energy that we don't really have.

And even though our weather is perfect year round, we don't really have really cold temperatures or really hot temperatures, but we're constantly experiencing our power going out. Yeah, you guys just do what we're doing. You'll love it in Buffalo. Okay? That's what he's saying here. Yeah, we notice maybe that like the lights have gone out. With the hopes that our world is built on that they were utterly out of touch, isn't that where we are?

We're just hoping. Yeah, maybe they, maybe those windmill things will work, right? Because, because people who like natural gas stoves will, They're out of touch and they don't want to save babies and children and air and stuff. Mm-hmm. Let's see how that's going to work out for you. With the hopes that our world is built on that they were utterly out of touch, I mean, they denied the moon was Stilton.

They denied she was even Dutch. Now, doesn't that sound like a conversation we would have at some point? You know, the moon is actually Dutch. What? What do you mean what? Everyone knows the moon is Dutch from Holland. Are you out of your mind? You are a dangerous extremist for not admitting that the moon comes from Holland.

That's where we are. Yes. But they also denied that wishes were horses. and we all know that horses are wishes, and wishes are horses. And they denied that pigs had wings. So we worship the gods of the market, who promised us all of these things. Oh yeah, don't worry, guys. No, no, no, we understand the market.

Yeah, we can print as much money and spend as much money as we want, and inflation won't be a problem. It'll be transitory. Yeah. Yeah, it generally is transitory. It gets really, really bad. And then everybody is wiped out and money has no value. So I guess, I guess that's transitory because there's nobody left to buy any food or eat.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we're going to promise you these wonderful things. Now, what have they been promising us? Money. You can have it all. the market really over you. Don't worry about the little people. Just look at the stock market.

How's it doing? Equity. We're going to end all hatred. Yeah. People won't hate anybody anymore if you just listen to what we say. But we have to do a few things first. And one of the few things? I can't believe that this country hasn't banned the gun yet.

We have a problem with guns. No, no, we really don't. We have a problem with the wrong people having guns. And when I say the wrong people, I mean the crazy people. The people that want to do these things. So why is there an increase in that? Oh, I don't know. I mean, they're all the people that know that the moon is Dutch, right?

Oh, yes, yes, they are lately. Okay, so I don't know. It must be the gun. More in just a second. First, let me tell you about relief factor. Sometimes sleep is hard. You wouldn't think it would be something that was difficult to accomplish. I never did when I was a teenager.

Can I tell you something? Sleep is wasted on the young. Okay? When you're young, all you want to do is just sleep all day and then go screw off. When you need it, you're working, and you've been working long, long, long hours that turn into decades, and then you get a little bitter, and you can't sleep at night, and you get a little more bitter. And then pretty soon you're like, I don't know if the moon is from Holland. And you could use a little sleep. I say, try relief factor sleep.

Relief factor sleep is 100% drug-free, with its blend of natural. ingredients and is designed to marot healthy sleep. I wouldn't mind a few nights of unhealthy sleep myself, if that's what it takes. But healthy sleep is better, they say. And I know that it works. It's relief factor sleep. 20 bucks to get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment. You're not going to get that deal on the street from, you know, some drug dealer coming out of Mexico. I didn't, reverse. I didn't say that. Unleash the power. of great sleep by calling 800 the number four relief 800 the number four relief or go to relief factor.com relief sleep from relief factor.com dream big and sleep tight 10 seconds station

ID okay so stew what have you learned so far that is fabulous and thank you for sharing I think you're right up to speed no I haven't answered no that's great how what do we learn so far the guy who's going to mock the Wabushnuts University for being elitist is the same guy who not only went to Yale, but is currently wearing a Yale t-shirt. This is radio, man. Nobody knows it. Don't mention the Blaze TV or Pluto TV or anything. Okay.

Got it. They don't know. No. They're stupid. Good, good. They didn't go to the university. So what we learned is they got to take care of a few things. And Richard Kipling said they will come up with a few things that you have to do first.

And he wrote, when the Cabrian measures were forming, they promised us perpetual peace. They swore if we gave them our weapons, the wars of the tribes would cease. Do we have tribes now here in America? No. Yeah. No? Okay. Well.

But then they disarmed us. And they sold us and delivered us bound to our foe. And the gods of the copy book heading said, stick to the devil you know. Okay, what else are they taking care of? Well, we've got to make sure that you can't define a woman, all right? Because we're destroying the family. I mean, we're helping people be more enlightened.

Roger Kipling said, on the first feminine sandstones, we were promised the fuller life, which started by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife. See, it all starts with this is good. This is what Jesus would do. This is what he wants you to love your neighbor. Wow. And your neighbor's wife is kind of hot.

You know what I'm saying? Forget that family stuff. And all of a sudden you're like, where's Jesus? I don't know. Maybe he's arguing about Holland. Anyway, though we had plenty of, oh, I'm sorry, tell our women and tell our women had no more children. How many people are you hearing today going, I'm excited to have kids.

This is an exciting place for kids to be. I can't wait to have a bunch of kids. Okay? Till our women had no more children and men had lost reason and faith. I don't know. Sounds kind of. Huh. And the gods of the copy book heading said,

The Wages of Sin is death. See, that's kind of an important thing. That's kind of like, you know, you do things. that are bad. Oh, there might be a Soros DA here that will get you off, but Soros doesn't represent anyone at the bar of judgment. And by the way, the judgment bar, there's no liquor served. In the Carboniferous epic, we were promised abundance for all by robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul. I don't think I even need to explain that, do I? Though we had plenty of money. Oh, we're going to have plenty of money soon. There was nothing our money could buy.

And the gods of the copy bookheading said, if you do not work, you shall die. Who has plenty of money right now? Oh, the people that we're getting all of the doles. They're getting everything, you know, don't worry. No, no, no, don't worry. You can't afford that house. I tell you what, those guys, see Peter over there, he's got that nice house. He doesn't even know how nice he's got it. he's going to pay extra for his house so you can have your house. Wait a minute. What? Yeah.

And Paul loves the idea. Peter, not so happy about it. What's the lesson? Hmm. Maybe you shouldn't take the dole. Maybe you should work. Or you shall die. That's a copybook heading.

They deny that pigs have wings. So, okay, I'm going to wrap this all up. Where are we on this cycle? Where are we? This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and don't forget, rate us on iTunes. Todd Benzman joins us now. He's the author of Overrun and also a fellow, a senior fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies. He has been down on the border.

He is not in Mexico anymore. Thank goodness. Welcome back. How are you, Todd? Thanks for. Great. Thanks for having me. He just got back last night, back to Austin. So tell me what, ooh, so you're not really in America even. So tell me what you saw over the weekend at the border. Sure. Well, throughout the week, of course, it was just a storming of the border, thousands and thousands crossing through Madame Morris to Brownsville.

And I was there on the Mexican side watching them go. Eventually, the Texas governor was able to shut that down by, for the first time ever, deploying tactical units of the National Guard and DPS, Texas Department of Public Safety, right down on the riverbank behind a razor. wire and would not let the immigrants pass no matter what they did. They just would not. They had pepper balls, you know, to fire at them if it got out of hand. But they shut down that hole.

And that was the biggest hole in the border. Then Title 42 ended. And we are seeing kind of a pause, not just because of what Texas did, but there's general sort of nervousness about the new strategy, the new Biden strategy about, you know, how they can exploit it. They have not figured out quite yet how to exploit it. But what I would tell you is that there are huge loopholes in this thing that are sitting there ready to be discovered. And when I was in Rhinosa a few days ago, which is 40, 50 miles up river from Nautamores, at least 15,000 Haitians pooled up there all just in a tizzy and swirling around about, you know,

what is the new strategy, Biden's strategy. And there were NGOs throughout that camp who were explaining to them, you know, what the new strategy is and undoubtedly what the loopholes are. So my anticipation is that before too long, they will figure it. it out. Immigrants are smart people. They pay very close attention to any, you know, any crevice, any way they can kind of get around the new regime. And I do anticipate that there will be a gradual increase over time and then and then back to normal again. Every time there's a major policy change, there's kind of a pause down there on the border while people figure it out. So I think that's where we are right now, the administration is taking victory laps over this, but it's a little bit early

for any kind of a victory lap because that underestimates the cunning caginess of the huge population down there and the NGOs and the lawyers that are all down there championing for them about what's happening. And I can pause there. There's one more thing I'd like to say about something a little bit. different, but I could pause if you want to have it. No, go ahead. Go ahead. Okay, so one of the main cornerstones of the new strategy is this pre-legalization scheme.

They're handing out humanitarian permits to thousands and thousands now down there, kind of like a pressure cooker, you know, steam escape, right? Kind of a way to, like, there's hope, right? We'll let you end this legal way. and so they have really opened the aperture on that. They were letting in, you know, 30,000 a month of four or five different nationalities, and they have widened that up open to tens of thousands more for every kind of all nationalities can just get pre-legalized on an app, like a restaurant reservation app on your phone.

And when you do that, don't you get a court date like at 2035? Yeah, well, you can, I mean, initially they just let you in on a humanitarian poll. The humanitarian parole is good for up to two years, and they give you work authorization and everything. And I'll point out that they claim that they're vetting everybody. They're not vetting anybody. And they're also giving out 99% of all applicants who even apply for it. So they're not even declining anybody. It's just an escape, a steam escape hatch kind of a thing.

And when I crossed back over yesterday morning from Mattom Morris to Brownsville on the bridge, the line of people who had been granted CBP-1 humanitarian parole was 100 yards long, three feet deep, three, four feet deep, 100 yards long. And it just goes on and on like that. they're just pouring in. They would have come in illegally. Now they can't be counted as illegal. But keep in mind that that is going on all along the border,

just thousands and thousands more being just brought in this way. So when they claim a victory lap, they're not telling you about that operation. And that operation is under court challenge right now. 20 states, including Texas, have challenged the legality of that. I'm not a lawyer, but it's illegal. I'm sorry.

It's just completely on its face is illegal. And at any moment, a federal judge in the Fifth Circuit is going to strike that thing down. And then they won't have that escape hatch anymore. And that is something that needs to be watched as well. I have to tell you, this is an invasion, not by a nation, but it is an invasion into our country. This will, this is when they open the gates at Rome. They just led everybody in and there weren't enough Roman citizens to keep it Rome. And that's not a, that's not a race thing.

That's, that's nothing. All I want is a group of people that understand the Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and our Bill of Rights. If you want to do that, I welcome you here. I welcome you. But they're not coming for any of that. And I don't know why the governor of Texas is acting more like the, you know, governor of Massachusetts at this point. I don't know why we are not calling it an invasion and the government has let the people down.

Well, yeah. I mean, so one thing about Greg Abbott and what he did down there is, A lot of people are saying it was too late. You know, I mean, this thing's been going on for two and a half years. And so he gets criticized for whatever he does. But I will say that, you know, I was on the ground there and I was the first to report it. And in fact, I'm told that the governor ordered this as a result of my videos showing these people just pouring through unopposed. And he was angry about it and said, get our people down there and shut it down.

But I will But that was one border crossing. One. Yes, it was a big one, but it was one. And he's saying that from this point forward, and you can look for this, you know, hold them to account that he's going to have these rapid reaction teams that will run to any place that's being overrun and on federal land and do this. The Biden administration is saying that. that they think it's illegal and they've got the Department of Justice exploring ways to shut down the governor's operation. So this thing's not over.

We're going to probably hear more about this one way or another what the governor is doing. But I will say that when I talked to all the immigrants for two days after that, that they were saying we're not crossing now because those troopers over there won't let us through, so we're not even going to try. and Mexican immigration officials on the ground, when I asked him, how come nobody's crossing, they said it's because of them over there.

So I believe that this shows that they could do something. Of course they can. Of course. Yeah. So, and he won't be able to not do this again now that he's shown that it works. So anyway, there's that.

Maybe it's late, but it's, listen, I've been down there for two and a half years covering this thing. Glenn, and I, in the two and a half years, all I have ever seen is just mass storming of the border with a welcome committee over there on our side. A red carpet, welcome wagon, watch your step, move up to the left, up the river bank. There's a processing over there. You'll get your number pund.

And that's all it's ever been. And this is the first time I actually saw big brawny guys with guns saying you will not pass. So, I mean, I would fly this year. That's nice. Now, one of the things that happened, we had somebody crossover that's on a wanted list. Do you know anything about that? And how many of these people do you think have come through from our enemies? That's a major problem.

That's an Afghan. He's on the FBI watch list. Last year, we had 98 of those that we apprehended. We've had 80 just so far. Actually, I think it's more than 80 just so far in this fiscal year. that is a huge number of people on a terror watch list. Also, there's video fresh out in the Yuma area of just hundreds and hundreds of Egyptians and Sudanese crossing in last night. Sudanese, Egyptian, and Mauritans, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.

They're tossing their identifications and passports and all of that on the Mexican side before they cross. That's the reason they're coming in is because the new strategy, the Biden strategy of expedited removal can't be applied to them as easily right now because, you know, they live in countries that won't accept them or where we don't have agreements to send them yet. And so those are the people that are crossing in right now. Very disturbing. This is a national security crisis as well as a mass migration crisis more generally. early. Todd, I can't just, you know, we, for those of us who live through September 11th, they would never forget, we are worse. We would slap ourselves silly if we could meet ourselves of 20-some years ago. Todd, thank you so much. It's a great way to put that. I'm going to

steal that. You steal from me, you've stolen twice, Todd. Thank you. God bless. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Man, Stu, it's good to be alive today in America, isn't it? I love it. I love it. Lots of great things happening. There is. Nothing but positive. No. Well, maybe a couple. And we're going to get into the Joe Biden crime family. Look, I'll am asking what. I'm going to ask you for a favor. Maybe someday, you know, hope that day never comes. But you will do it for me when I give you this little gift here of snuffing out, a friend of yours.

What was that last part? I'm just saying. The Biden crime family, we have that update coming up in just a minute. And for anybody who is, I don't know, what would you say? Fed up, tired of it, tired of looking at the news and going, this really isn't that hard. These are criminal activities. What's happening here? I suggest you join us this week.

we are going to do first our special on AI which I'll get to in a minute that's on the Wednesday night special A must see I feel it's like the basic of the basics but who was it

that was watching it somebody that really respect no it couldn't have been Ricky my executive producer I think it was Ricky my executive producer so I forget the respect thing anyway she was like

she was watching watching it. And she said, I said, you know, I just think this is so basic. And she said, yes. And I understand it really for the first time. So it is really something to get you in and understanding what is what is coming on AI. Very important. That's Wednesday. Then on Thursday night, we're doing a live special network wide. I think Mark Levine is going to be joining me. on this, and we're going to be taking questions from the audience after, right, immediately following the special. Biggest chalkboard ever on the Biden crime family. Oh, maybe I could dress as a mobster. That'd be fun. Anyway, so that's happening on Thursday night. You don't want to miss it.

If you're a little fed up, I am. I'd like to hear what you're fed up about. All you do is just go on to Twitter and just tweet. What is it that you're, because I'm a little fed up of being looked at as the criminal because I've done legal activities like buy a gun and then people who are actual criminals, they get away. I'm tired of the, of seeing stories like the guy who actually saved people potentially on the train in New York, the subway. And now he's arrested for manslaughter. I don't know, I'm fed up. I'm fed up.

I, on Thursday, I'm going to give you the constitutional stick that you can poke in the eyes of justice again to make her blind. It shouldn't matter your skin color or anything else. What matters is justice for all. We'll give that to you on Thursday. Make sure you join us. Use the promo code fed up at the check. out at blazedtv.com slash glen. BlazTV.com slash Glenn.

Use a promo code fed up and you will save $30 on your first year of Blaze TV. That's 30%. That is the best special we've ever, ever run. Okay. So let's see. Let me talk to you a little bit about AI. And Stu, you know how we always say, we should not ask the question that everybody's going to ask.

We should ask, does it matter? Okay, I've got one. I've got one. We've got to get ahead on the AI culture war thing, okay? Because it's going to eat us alive before even the robots have a chance to enslave us. But the future looks bright. Anyway, when you think of the development of artificial personalities, AI, your best friend or your AI girlfriend, these things are already here.

They're right on the horizon of going mass. Snapchat is already doing it for your kids. So when all your friends are asleep, all our friends are asleep, right up at the top of Snapchat, your best AI friend. And you can talk to your bestie. Yeah.

Okay? Yeah. And it's AI. I saw something about two, I read a story about an Instagram influencer who is renting out basically an AI for her to be your girlfriend. And like you could apparently for,

I don't know, a dollar a man, Like, it's like the old pay-per-view 1-900 lines. Right. You, like, for a dollar a minute, she will be your girlfriend. Yeah. And, of course, just an AI responding. Like, what freaking psychopath would sign up for this service?

Lots. Lots. And the people developing, what does that person, what do you think the person developing that? What do you think of them? What's their general political makeup? Oh, hardcore conservative, I'm sure. Absolutely. Big social conservative.

Absolutely. Conservatives are, this is what a conservative is. I don't know how people define it now, but this is what it is. Hey, that looks exciting and everything. Maybe we should hold back here just a little bit and not flush everything down the toilet. Let's see how that works out. That's a conservative. And it's very important that you have somebody going, hey, hey, maybe we should slow down just a bit, okay? especially if you're in a movie. That's the character you want to play. Well, maybe not because they're never listened to, and they're usually the ones that are eaten by whatever it is, and then as they're being dragged into the mouth of whatever it is,

they're like, I told you, wish you. So it's like, honestly, it's like being the cast member on Star Trek that nobody's ever seen before and now is in the landing party. You're like, that guy's not coming back. Anyway, so that is what a conservative is. Somebody who says, hey, maybe we shouldn't beam down on the planet just yet, at least with me. How about all of you guys in your yellow shirts, you go down? Not us in the red shirts.

So that's a strength of ours. But it is now being made to look like a weakness. And the left styles themselves as purpose. progressives because their key strength is also their key weakness, just like ours is. Okay? We need both sides. They just want to forge ahead. We got a new idea. Now, what's crazy when it comes politically, it's not ever a new idea. It's the same communist idea over and over and over again. But they got a new way to sell it. And they're like, hey, this time it's going to work. And you're like, no, it's not. they are progressives and they want to do everything right now because it's new, it's shiny,

and it'll piss off the other side, so let's embrace it. Okay? We need both of those sides. We need the people who are like, let's go. And we need the conservative to say, maybe not so fast, especially on big things like, oh, I don't know. Things that will control you like AI. Now, a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the population is putting these things together. And what you need to understand is that tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the population is really, really, really, really, really arrogant.

I don't think you can understand or underestimate the arrogance of the gatekeepers in Silicon Valley. because nothing is impossible. Look at Elizabeth Holmes. You and I would have been there going, I don't think I'm going to give her $10. But everybody else is like, anything is possible. Silicon Valley, you see how she dresses like Steve Jobs?

Let's give her $100 billion. Her voice is so low. Here's my check. Wow, this is going to be great. Okay, that's what, generally speaking, that's why we don't hang out with the Silicon Valley crowd. Well, other than that, they'd also like to see us die.

But they also, you know, are not the ones to go, hey, maybe we shouldn't give her $100 million. They're used to doing the impossible and damn common sense because we live in the age of miracles. It's a miracle. I mean, not your Jesus miracle. Those don't exist. This is a miracle of man.

Oh, great. So the left doesn't believe in miracles or God. God, but they do now because miracles are happening with AI. And that's their new God. They're not building man. Man is building a God. And a lot of them would like to sit down and talk to God-like figures. And believe me, someday you will.

You'll talk to God. And I don't think you're going to want that conversation, Dr. Frankenstein. But anyway, they think this is a monster that they can control. I'm telling you can. So this is a very long way to go just to tell you what it is we have to decide right now. We have to decide, does it matter right now?
