Starting point is 00:00:00 We made a promise to ourselves, I don't know, eight years ago, that we were not going to, six years ago, that we were not going to push our will. Let people decide. Give them the facts. Let people decide and support the people, right? Mm-hmm. Are we doing that this time? I mean, because I think so, are we? I mean, I don't care who people vote for as long as it's a republic.
Starting point is 00:00:30 that I like. No. Yeah. I mean, maybe not in like the Utah race. I probably haven't been to balance on that one. I mean, I think we're talking. I mean, I think what we've said is control needs to go to the Republicans to stop what Biden's right.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Like I wouldn't vote for Oz if I lived in Pennsylvania. It's easy for me to say I wouldn't vote for Oz. But if I were in Pennsylvania, I probably would vote for Oz. You know what I mean? He's not my favorite, but I'm living in Pennsylvania. What the hell am I going to do? Yeah, I vote for him. I vote for him.
Starting point is 00:01:07 I'm just wondering if we're staying true to ourselves. Yeah, I mean, I don't advise anybody. Yeah, I don't think I do either. I mean, I think we say, Mike Lee's clear, like, why isn't Mike Lee winning by more? Yeah. Right, like that type of stuff. But I don't think we say you should go out and vote for X, Y, or Z all that often.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Yeah, I was going to say all that often because, I mean, I have been known to say, you're dead to me if you don't vote for Mike Lee. Yes. I mean, if you have the best candidate on the Constitution, perhaps ever, the guy who should be running the Supreme Court and you're going to vote him out for a CIA agent, you're dead to me. You're dead to me. But other than that, we never are judgmental anyway. Although you're sick, you're pretty sick if you're voting for Federman. you know, you're not dead to me, but you're pretty sick. And Walker and Masters.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Just vote. You know what? Send us your ballots. We'll fill them out for you. Don't say that. No, don't say that. They will use that. Holy cow.

Starting point is 00:03:23 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program. This is the Glenn Beck Program. We're going to tell you good news, bad news, iffy news on the polls in just a second. Stand by. First, I want to I want to read this story from the Washington Post because I think this, I think this relates in America in a completely different way. Since 1979, I got on the air, my first radio job was 1978 or 79 and the Iranian hostage crisis.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I've been talking about Iran my whole life, but I've never related to it as much as I have this story. Listen to this. Across Iran, schoolgirls have defiantly taken off their headscarves, stomped on pictures of the Supreme Leader, enchanted for freedom, producing some of the most iconic images from the country's anti-government uprising. But now the state is coming for them. If you have kids, listen to this. Many families fear sending their children to school, afraid they could be surveilled, beaten, detained, or disappeared. Rights groups and Iranians told the Washington Post, Iran's clerical leaders are betting the crackdown on schools will help quell the unrest, now in its seventh week. In interviews with the Post in recent weeks, three students and two parents describe the assaults on schools, where teachers are under pressure to squash any sign of dissent and often powerless to stop security forces from targeting the minors in their care. school attendance lists, report cards, and security cameras have become tools of repression. Parents are warned to keep their children in check. Now, just as anyone else thought, geez, I mean, they're indoctrinating my kids. What if they turn my kids against me?
Starting point is 00:05:28 Have you thought about what's being done to my kids and the teachers and I'm now being called a terrorist because I disagree with what my school is teaching. We are on this path, gang. Listen to this. Iranians interviewed for this piece spoken condition of amenity, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We are now all in shock and sadness and don't have the energy to do anything. A 12-year-old boy in Tehran said, after playing close police raided his school this month to arrest a fellow student.
Starting point is 00:06:02 He said he joined his classmates. and teachers in physically intervening to stop the adoption. Authorities refused to say how many children they've arrested, but a deputy with the Revolutionary Guard Court on October 5th said the average age for rioters arrested was 15. Iranian education minister said October 11th that an undisclosed number of kids were being held, quote, in psychology centers for reform and education. at least 700 teenagers have been detained. We don't know where they're taking these children or what's happening to them.
Starting point is 00:06:44 In some cases, these children are being beaten and then taken away by plainclosed police. This has got to stop. This has got to stop. We have got to stand up for freedom. We have to stand up. I mean, why is Iran doing this? Why are we on high alert? Did you know this?
Starting point is 00:07:12 The U.S. and Saudi militaries on high alert, because we've just had an intelligence warning of an imminent attack from Iran. This administration's been negotiating with them. This administration has just pissed off Saudi Arabia. And now the U.S. and Saudi Arabia are on high alert. because Iran says they're going to attack. And what are they doing that for?
Starting point is 00:07:40 To get the news to stop covering what they're doing to children in schools. Wake up America. Now, the good news is, I think we are waking up. And next Tuesday is the day we can begin to end the madness. Yeah, and things are trending in the right direction. The house looks not, I wouldn't call it a sure thing, but it looks really, really positive. Not too much doubt there.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Most even mainstream election analysts are going to tell you that Republicans are probably going to take the House. That's a big step, right? Taking that makes you able to stop the worst instincts of the Biden administration right off the bat. Now, to do more than that, especially when it comes to just judges and such, you need the Senate. So you need that Senate. You need to get to 51 seats. The issue here, of course, which is different than the House, where the House has everybody, everybody up for election, 435 members, every two years, you start zero zero. That's the state of play.
Starting point is 00:08:41 With the Senate, not everyone is up. It's six-year terms. So every midterm election has a different number of senators available to be elected. So this one starts with a score on the board with if no one else got elected at all, it would be standing at Democrats 36, Republicans 29. So Republicans start minus seven. And this is why this isn't such a home run. It feels. feels like, okay, Republicans are way ahead. It's a midterm election. Biden's obviously terrible. Why is this so difficult? That's why it's difficult. They're starting down 3629. So they have to make up seven seats just to get to even. So if we look at the likely states for the Democrats, you have California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New York, that's Chuck Schumer,
Starting point is 00:09:27 Oregon, Vermont, and Connecticut. Now, Connecticut, there's been some polling that showed it close we kind of moved it to a lean democrat for a while i bet back as a likely democratic state we had six movers in the entire uh board yesterday as we finish us up so connecticut likely that gives you eight likely democrats on the republican side uh you have likely republicans of alabama arkansas idaho indiana kansas kentucky it's rann paul louisiana south carolina tim scott there south dakota north dakota two in oklahoma because you We have a special election. So you have two seats there.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Missouri, Eric Schmidt. We've talked about him before. I have moved that to likely Republican from leaning earlier in the cycle. We also moved Iowa from lean Republican to likely Republican. That one looked likely at the beginning. There was some polling showing it a little close. We talked to Steve Dase about that last week. But I'm pretty convinced that that one is okay.
Starting point is 00:10:26 That's likely. And then also for the first time I moved to the likely Republican category, Florida with Marco Rubio. Again, Rubio was underperforming DeSantis earlier in the cycle. Seems to have closed that gap and now holds a pretty substantial lead. That gives you 15, 15 likely Republicans. Just doing the math right there, right? You're at 44, 44. Oh, geez.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Okay. And that's, you know, likely to, Glenn, you know, how long have been doing this, you know, a million years now. And in the likely category, I've never missed a race. These are sure things, for the most part. You may have a surprise eventually, but I've never missed one of those before. We'll see. So that's 4444. You can see how this can get a little, you know, a little itchy here.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Okay, so lean Democrat. I still have two. Some people who are more optimistic than me are thinking they're going to turn to Republicans. I still have these two as Lean Democrat, which are Colorado and Washington. Both of those states are theoretically winnable for Republicans. It's not out of the question. A lot of poll, there are some polls showing it very close. There was one that showed Washington within two points just yesterday.
Starting point is 00:11:35 So possible that this could happen for Republicans, but difficult, and I think still a little bit of a stretch, even in this environment right now. I'd love to hear from people who live in Seattle that can tell me what it feels like, because my friends in Seattle tell me they've never felt anything like this before. that the momentum, the attitude is towards the Republican smiley, right? And they are shocked
Starting point is 00:12:08 by how clearly it's being demonstrated in the Seattle area. I don't know if that's true or not. It could be. And I think she's making this much more competitive than it would normally be. Oh, yeah. That's the way. I mean, it is a surprise that these things. But, you know, Republicans
Starting point is 00:12:24 do occasionally win statewide races in, you know, in Washington State. Or very competitive at least. Every once in a while, you get this. And it seems like Tiffany Smiley's the candidate to keep it close. But you've got a sort of a blue climate there. Sort of. Yeah. I'd like to call it indigo.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Indigo. Okay. Very, very blue. And you have, you know, some circumstances on the ground that would make you believe, you know, in the polling, in the sort of fundamentals of the state, it's still a lean. democratic situation, though it's much closer than anyone would have expected. When we started this, I think Washington was a likely Democrat, but we moved to lean. So that's two there in the lean Democrat category. In lean Republican category, we have Alaska. Now, Alaska's a little weird because that will definitely be a Republican state. The question is whether it's going to be a moderate
Starting point is 00:13:13 Republican like Lisa Murkowski or a Trump endorsed Republican. So you have that battle going on there. One of the two will win there. I'm of the belief that like you got to prove to me that Murkowski can get beaten in Alaska. She seems to win no matter what the circumstance is. So I'll believe that one when I see it. I would love to see her gone, though. This would be a good thing. Utah, we've talked quite a bit about Utah.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Again, I think Mike Lee is going to win that state, but it is a quirky, weird state with a sort of false independent candidate going up there and getting Democratic votes. Tomorrow's Thursday, right? Yes. I'm going to be in Salt Lake tomorrow. You're coming with me, aren't you? I don't know?
Starting point is 00:13:53 I have I've got shows and stuff I've got to do. I'm sorry, I can't know that I can just leave. But I'm going to go to Salt Lake. He's doing a big rally tomorrow night, so I'm going to go and support and then fly right back and do the show. Good. Don't screw it up because he needs to win. Also, leaning Republican, Wisconsin, which was razor thin edge for Ron Johnson earlier in the cycle. Now he's opened up a moderate lead there.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Ohio with J.D. Vance. Same story. North, excuse me, North Carolina with Ted Bud. Georgia, I now have as lean Republican. Seems like Herschel Walker has weathered this storm. Do you know that Warnock has spent $85 million? That is like presidential kind of money. It's one of the, if it's not the most, it is. It is the most expensive.
Starting point is 00:14:45 It is now into presidential kind of candidate territory. Incredible. So Georgia and I have lean Republican. And again, these are very close races. And I would say the data doesn't quite support this yet, but I moved Pennsylvania also to lean Republican after the debate. And I think that I will say it's a little bit of speculation. This is not my final update on this thing. So we will, I may wind up moving it.
Starting point is 00:15:08 We're going to have to pick one eventually in the last update. I guess I can't keep them in toss up forever. But Pennsylvania there, I think, I think we've seen enough for the people of Pennsylvania to say that John Federman's not the candidate. We will see, though. And they also, also yesterday, the Supreme Court said, you can't, if there's a signature problem on those ballots, no, no, the, you know, the dates wrong or not on there, you cannot count them. Yeah, that could be big. And that state's going to be lengthy afterward. Then you have three toss-up races.
Starting point is 00:15:41 You have Arizona, which, what interesting thing happened yesterday, Glenn, the libertarian candidate who dropped out of the race and endorsed Blake Masters. Right. It's pretty important. If the libertarians will vote for Blake Masters, and they should. The guy is very libertarian. But that could give him the extra push over the top. In a close race, it could be very close. Nevada, I have as a toss-up as well.
Starting point is 00:16:07 This is an interesting one in that. There's a couple polls out today that have Lacksel up five. Right. Which is really good news, really good news. Every, you know, there's still polls that are coming out having Cortez Mastow up as well, though. So that one's a toss-up. And we moved New Hampshire into a toss-up. for the first time.
Starting point is 00:16:25 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. This is the Glenn Beck program. Tomorrow after the program, I'm going to quickly fly out to Washington, Utah, and be with Mike Lee at the dance hall. I've never been to the dance hall, but I guess that's where you do things in Washington, Utah, so I'll be there.
Starting point is 00:16:52 It's right down from the honeymoon trail in. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. So you can find out more. Just go to Mike Lee for Senate.com. Find out more and I'll see you there tomorrow night. And then back here again on Friday.
Starting point is 00:17:06 All right. We have a, we have the very first woman to ever be born in Mexico as a congresswoman now or would like to be a congresswoman. No, no, no. She already represents a 34th congressional district. Sorry. And she's in her first term. she has, she's on the House Agricultural Homeland Security committees, and I wanted to talk to her a little bit about the red migration that is happening with the Hispanic community. It's real, and I'd like to understand more about it.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Myra Flores is with us. Hello, Congresswoman. Hello, how are you? Good morning. Thank you so much for having me. You bet. You bet. So you were just rejected by the Hispanic.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Caucasian caucus, if I'm not mistaken. That's right. I guess it's not the right tackle, you know, for them. Not the right Hispanic, apparently. Not the right. Apparently, that's right. I'm the first Mexican-born Congresswoman, you know, ever to serve the U.S. House of Representatives. And I thought that by joining the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, we could, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:20 build relationships and work in a bipartisan manner on our behalf of our, constituents and I was wrong. Yeah. Yeah. So tell me what, tell me what's happening in the Hispanic community. And is it real? It's very real. And South Texas and the Hispanic community, we've always been all about God and family and hard work. That is just who we are. It's in our, in our DNA. But we grew up being told by, you know, the Democrat Party that the Republican party didn't want people that look like us here, that the Republican Party was for the rich, that the Republican Party was for the only white people. That's what we were told all our lives, which was a complete lie. You know, my father was a Democrat all his life as well. I still remember
Starting point is 00:19:17 asking him, who should I vote for? And he said Barack Obama. And I voted for Barack Obama because that's what I was told to do so. And thank God, I had another family member. who brought it up to my attention and said, hey, we were raised the same way with conservative values. Why are you voting this way? Do some research and come back to me. And I did. I made that research. And I came back to her and I said, I'm Republican. And that was back in 2010. I was like, oh, my goodness. I'm Republican. Went to my father and I told them the same thing. I said, Dad, we're Republican. And he, of course, he was like, no, you're wrong. I've always been a Democrat. And it took him a long time to realize.
Starting point is 00:20:01 But now he's, of course, he's a Republican now. And he tells me all the time, you know, don't be loyal to political parties like I was. Amen. You know, your loyalty needs to be with God, with your family, and with your community that you represent. Don't make that mistake that I made. So in 30 years from now, the Republican Party no longer stands with the values that I instilled in you. Don't support the party. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:27 know, be all about your faith and family. And that was my advice to my, my father's advice to me when I told him that I was going to be running for Congress and that I was going to be in the Republican invalid. And so, Myra, what, what, what, what specifically is happening, though? I mean, it's the same thing with African Americans. They're really very conservative. Their churches are conservative, everything else. And yet they don't, they don't, they don't. They don't wake up to that or they don't vote that way. Why is the Hispanic community waking up this time? Well, the Republican Party is also investing. You know, prior to 2020, the Republican Party was not investing in South Texas. We did not have the funds to be able to spread our conservative message.
Starting point is 00:21:20 You know, I was the first Republican congressional candidate to run Spanish commercials in South Texas. So for the first time, they were seeing someone, you know, that looked like them, that resonated with them in Telemundo, in Univision, which is very important because if we don't do it, they will spread the misinformation. So, you know, I'm very blessed and I'm very grateful to the Republican Party for finally investing in the Hispanic community, a community that you don't have to convince to be pro-God, to be pro-life, to be pro-family. like this, you know, this is who we are. We align with the Republican Party, you know, but the Republican Party also was not investing prior to 2020. Now they're investing. So now we're able to send mailers, you know, in Spanish and English.
Starting point is 00:22:14 We're on TV. We're knocking doors. We're raising the funds to be able to do those things. And before, we just did not have those funds. and that's also one of the main reasons as well. You know, it's a component of many things. Congresswoman, can you talk a little bit about your race because you won in a special election here recently
Starting point is 00:22:36 in a race that surprised a lot of people seemingly nationally. And then now you're running to be reelected. However, the district has been, has changed. And it's, from all reports, made your re-election more difficult. Can you talk about that? and how the race looks? Yes, you know, the districting did me no favors. But at the end of the day, South Texas, you know, Cameron County,
Starting point is 00:23:05 Eidalgo County, Labor County, Willough C, Kennedy, those counties had him in the previous map, and I continue to have them on the new map. And these districts are, you know, who have been dictating who, you know, who were representing them, I was able to flip Cameron County on the special election, which is my biggest county and still within the current map. And again, the Hispanic community is very conservative, the people of South Texas. That doesn't change. The lines don't change that.
Starting point is 00:23:42 What do they- The lines don't change the valleys of South Texas. So I have all the love and support from the district in such small time. they've been able to see what real leadership looks like. So we're talking to Congresswoman Maya Flores. What are the main issues that you think this is going to be one or lost on? Well, all our polls, multiple polls that we've done is the economy, is inflation and is border security. Those are the things that matter to my district.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Those are the things that I'm 100% focused on. I met a single mom who told me that for the first time, she had to get a loan to buy her kid's school supplies and clothes. And that loan is now at 24%. Oh, my. And can't pay back. She's like, I don't know if I can be able to pay back that loan. These are the things that are happening to the American people. These are the struggles.
Starting point is 00:24:43 You see, the Democrat Party wants us to focus on social issues to distract us from what. what really is impacting the American people. We want people to go vote on the economy. We want people to go vote on inflation. We want people to go vote on border security. See, the Democrat Party doesn't want that because they're losing. But they would say that we're racist, you're racist against Hispanics if you want border security. I immigrated to this country.
Starting point is 00:25:16 I want more little girls like Myra to be able to. come here to the United States. I don't want little girls like myself to have to come here illegally where they're going to get abuse, rape, and having to pay criminal organizations thousands of dollars because that's the reality. Under this administration, more immigrants have died. If this administration actually cared about immigrants, they would focus on the legal process. How can we encourage people to come here to United States?
Starting point is 00:25:49 legally. The process is broken. It is. I was blessed to have a father that was an American citizen. But if for anyone else, it could take 10, 15, 20 years. No one talks about the people that are in line right now waiting to come here to United States legally. No one talks about them. What about them? What about those who are following the law and are there waiting right now as we speak, waiting to come here to United States and have been waiting for years? What about them. No one talks about them. They want to focus on illegal immigration, knowing the dangers, knowing that the criminal
Starting point is 00:26:28 organizations have taken complete control of the southern border. People here in South Texas, we have family in Mexico that we can't even visit as often because we're afraid. Why would we want where we're afraid to come here? We don't want no American to ever feel afraid to go visit their loved ones. That's what we're going through here in South Texas. My family still live in Burgos, Tamolipas, where I'm from. And I miss being able to visit my loved ones more often.
Starting point is 00:27:00 I go, but I want to go more often. Because that's where I'm from. That's where my family is there. But these criminal organizations, they have no respect for human life. They have no respect for anyone. That's why border security is a must. Our Border Patrol agents are exhausted. I'm a Border Patrol wife.
Starting point is 00:27:21 They don't have a voice. This administration has given their back on our Border Patrol agents, on our law enforcement. And our border patrol are focused on the humanitarian crisis and not able to stop the fentanyl that is coming in into our country killing about 300 people per day. This is very serious. This shouldn't even be political. The things that we're fighting for, a better economy, reducing inflation and border security, these are things that, you know, we should all be working together.
Starting point is 00:28:00 And under this administration, 98 suspected terrorists have been apprehended in the southern border. We're talking to Congresswoman, talking to Congressman Myra Flores, because of redistricting, this is a very tight race. If you would like to help her with her campaign, I think a little goes a long way in South Texas. Please go to the website, Myra Flores for Congress.com. M-A-Y-R-A-F-L-O-E-F-O-R-E-S. Myra Flores for Congress.com. Myra, best of luck to you. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:28:48 We'll win our re-election next week. Good. Thank you. God bless. It's a big race. That's a big race. And it's kind of a test as to whether this movement we saw in 2020 and 2016 among the Hispanic community is real. Was it a one-off? Was it maybe just related to Donald Trump?
Starting point is 00:29:03 Who knows? It's amazing to me how none of those numbers held up with Barack Obama. It was all about Barack Obama. It was all about Barack Obama. Yeah. And then it all fell apart. Yeah. I mean, if you remember, everyone's like, oh, Barack Obama, what an amazing campaigner.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Well, did you look at 2010 and 2014? Yeah. I mean, the Democrats got brutalized in both of those elections, despite his influence. Only when he was on the ballot specifically, did they do well. And look, you can make the argument. Trump has some of the same features where, like, he did well in 2016, 2020, brought up a lot of people that maybe you didn't think we're going to win. but 2018 did not go particularly well. This is a chance here to see if those gains, especially in the Hispanic community, are real and are lasting.
Starting point is 00:29:49 It's going to be fascinating to watch that, Ray. Myra Flores for Congress.com. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Dr. Robert Epstein. He is the senior research psychologist. He is found at my Google Research.com. We usually touch base before every election. and talk about his research, what he found, and what he is discovering.
Starting point is 00:30:18 He is actually tracking all of the Google searches across the country as best he can. Dr. Epstein, how are you, sir? I'm great. I'm great. So where are we on this project now? Tremendously, and your audience helped with financial support back in 2020. That was critical. He wouldn't have had a project without you. But this year, we've expanded tremendously.
Starting point is 00:30:53 And we are in most of the swing states. We have more than 2,000 field agents, which means we're monitoring the content that the big tech companies are sending to voters, 24 hours a day through more than 2,000 computers, computers of real voters. So we're seeing the actual content that these companies are sending. And we are measuring it. And we are finding all kinds of disturbing things. They're shifting right now at this moment. They're shifting thousands and thousands of votes in the swing states in a way that people cannot see.
Starting point is 00:31:34 So this is much more dangerous than, you know, TV commercials or even, you know, trying to rig voting machines. This is far more dangerous. And we're on it. And we're expanding the system. This time it's going to be permanent so that we will have by next year a nationwide system, a digital shield that will be protecting 24 hours a day, protecting our elections and protecting our children as well from any kind of manipulation by the big tech companies. This is fantastic.
Starting point is 00:32:05 So for people who aren't familiar with your research, tell people how Google, for instance, or YouTube, changes votes without anybody knowing it. example, we found in 2020 that 93% of the videos recommended by their up-next algorithm, that up-next suggestion that just plays automatically. 93% of those videos were coming from liberal news sources. And that is extremely powerful as a way of manipulating people. And by the way, those up-next suggestions weren't just going to liberals. they were going even more so to moderates and even more so to conservatives.
Starting point is 00:32:53 And so, you know, then there's search results, which right now we're measuring very carefully, and they're highly biased toward liberal candidates. And there are certain segments of our population, the most vulnerable being moderate Republicans, by the way, who trust those high-ranking search results. And right now, Google, especially in with... Wisconsin and in Florida and in Arizona and other swing states, they have high up in their search results, links that bring you to web pages that make the Democratic candidates look great and make the conservative candidates, Republican candidates look bad. That shifts to votes. And then there's email suppression.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Email suppression, the RNC just sued Google for suppressing tens of millions of. of emails to potential Republican voters. And then there's Google's homepage where they put those go vote reminders. Yes. And we're monitoring that very carefully because in 2020, we found last minute that Google was sending those out primarily to liberals and moderates. Now, think how big a manipulation that is, because, No one knows it's occurring.
Starting point is 00:34:18 That's targeted messaging, we call it. So you have been doing some just, I mean, God's work here on this. And you've been doing it for years now. At least we've known each other, what, five, six years? Yes. Yeah. And we've been talking about it. When is someone in Washington going to use this and actually take these guys down on it?
Starting point is 00:34:45 well we're getting close you see you've got to have the data to bring to the courts uh you know the legislation is not going to help too much and of course you know there we don't we don't have much uh cooperation in in Washington so I'm worried about you know the legislative approach ever moving forward uh but there is an alternative because in 2020 we got some senators based on our preliminary data to send a threatening letter to the CEO of Google, and Google backed down. Google shut off all their manipulations in the Georgia Senate runoff elections. They turned off everything. No one got a go-vote reminder in Georgia, and that's because of our project. And at this moment, Glenn, you're the first to know, but there are a group of senators
Starting point is 00:35:41 write the second, ready to send another threatening letter to the CEO of Google based on our preliminary data that we have right now. So that is in the works that might happen today. That would save... What states is that going to affect, can you say? I can't tell you everything, but I can tell you that we are in most of the swing states monitoring very aggressively. And what we should see, what we should detect, is that Google will turn off all of their manipulations and we'll detect it when they do it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:18 And those last few days in close elections are absolutely critical. So we're on the verge of making that happen again, and once this system, by the end of next year, is nationwide, these companies will never touch our elections again, and they're going to keep away from our kids as well. and we're not starting to monitor kids. So help me out on Google, because it looks like, now, in fact, I don't even think it looks like, we have the evidence that Google, Facebook, Twitter, they are all colluding with the government. The government was directing them on who to ban and what to look for, and they were doing it. And, of course, it is not what we study.
Starting point is 00:37:07 We study the actual manipulations. By the way, I hope your audience, which has been so generous to us in the past, will go to my googlelresearch.com if they want to get more info or help us out. But, you know, what we are studying are the manipulations themselves, and we are collecting data now, by the way, not just on Google, but on YouTube, on Facebook, Google's homepage. We are really, we've expanded tremendously over the years. You know, I've been working on this stuff for 10 years.
Starting point is 00:37:43 I know. But we've gotten to the point where we're going to have a national digital shield in place. And what does that mean? Well, that means that 24 hours a day through the computers of more than 20,000 people around the country and the computers of lots of children, this is what their parents support, of course, will be looking at content being sent by the tech companies. And if we find any kind of bias, any kind of manipulation, we will report it to the AGs, to members of Congress, to the Federal Election Commission, to journalists, anyone who will
Starting point is 00:38:22 listen, and they will stop. Because, as Justice Brandeis said 100 years ago, sunlight is the best disinfectant. And we're building a permanent system. now that's growing every day that will stop these companies cold for many years to come. This is happening. This is growing right this second. And, you know, no matter what happens or doesn't happen with legislation in our crazy government or with regulation, the monitoring system will protect us, a digital shield across the
Starting point is 00:39:01 country and we're building it now. So, and again, yeah. Doctor, can I, let me just pass something by. And I said this to Stu off air. And I, I haven't said it on the air because I didn't, I don't want anybody to think that I'm thinking this happened. This is, this is though, if I were a fiction writer, this is what I would write for fiction.
Starting point is 00:39:25 But I wanted to know if you think it would even stand up the scrutiny in a fiction book. You know, you're looking. at this guy who was a hippie in California. He was lefty, Black Lives Matter, all of it. And then suddenly he finds himself spewing, you know, Republican-like talking points. And then he goes into the house and wants to horribly kill Nancy Pelosi. And I'm not saying this happened. What I'm saying is, is it possible ineffectual.
Starting point is 00:40:01 setting right now, would it be possible to come up with a script that would show that a company like Facebook or Google especially could manipulate things subtly over time and convince somebody who's really kind of crazy already to do bidding and there would be no record of it? Glenn, this is what we study. This is what we've been studying for 10 years. of course it's possible. I'm not buying into that conspiracy theory, but I'm telling you. It's not a conspiracy theory.
Starting point is 00:40:36 It's a fiction. I mean, that's what I would write if I was a fiction writer. Right. Well, I'm telling you that's what we study. That's exactly what we do. My team is the only team in the world doing this, and we study these techniques that these companies have access to that can change people's opinions, attitudes, beliefs,
Starting point is 00:40:57 purchases, voting preferences, political preferences, and these techniques are among the most powerful influence techniques of influence that have ever been discovered in the behavioral sciences in 100 years. And you and I can't use them. That's the problem. See, they're in the hands of these big tech companies.
Starting point is 00:41:20 And Google especially has said that they are using their powers, all their powers to spread the values of their company. I mean, they've said it, and you know what they're doing? They're indoctrinating our kids. You know how some of these strange attitudes have suddenly changed in our society about certain minority groups and so on? Okay, and we don't know where the, how the heck this change occurred?
Starting point is 00:41:48 I am telling you that because we're starting to monitor the content going to kids, we're going to find out because there is, I am too. sure, indoctrination occurring on a massive scale, and we are going to document that. And by the way, we're not spying on anyone. Yeah, everybody. Yeah, everybody is a volunteer on this. I would really urge you to help fund this if you are interested in this at all. I think this is some of the most important research out there, because this has to be stopped. MyGoogleresearch.com is the web address my Googleresearch.com. You can make any kind of donation. This is a lasting kind of donation, and I'm so glad to hear that it's going into permanency now. Doctor, great to talk to you again,
Starting point is 00:42:35 as always. Thank you. Thank you, Glenn.
