The Glenn Beck Program - Is the CIA Funding Animal Super-Weapons?! | Guests: Sage Steele & Amie Parnes | 4/8/25

Episode Date: April 8, 2025

Scientists have brought back the dire wolf after thousands of years of extinction. Ignoring the obvious warnings that "Jurassic Park" gave about resurrecting extinct animals, Glenn has a different con...cern: Why is the CIA one of the investors in this technology?! Glenn goes through a couple of terrifying possibilities of dire wolves being brought back. Pat Gray joins Glenn and Stu to discuss the CIA investing in companies to bring back extinct animals for warfare and the dangers of AI being heavily involved in this process. Glenn and Stu warn of AI’s memory limitations as Pat Gray warns society is quickly becoming the movie "Wall-E." Glenn outlines how America’s education went from being the best to an embarrassment. There’s a method to President Trump’s madness, and Glenn explains why Trump is disrupting the system. Former ESPN announcer Sage Steele, who took on Disney and won, joins to discuss the major win former "Mandalorian" actress Gina Carano had in her wrongful termination lawsuit against Disney. Amie Parnes, co-author of "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House," joins to share the never-before-told stories on Biden’s decision not to run for re-election and Kamala’s historic loss. Glenn and Stu further discuss Amie’s book and what it exposes about Biden’s presidency.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Starting point is 00:00:20 Do you actually know what's going inside of your business right now? You know, that's from the... It's driving me crazy, but it was a press surprise. Yeah, that's right, yeah. I'm not asking you for you.
Starting point is 00:00:30 guess, it got feeling. I'm talking about numbers. Do you have real hard data on what's going on? What's selling? What's bleeding cash? Which department is slipping? Which one is pulling the bacon out of the fire? That is important. If you don't know the answer, you as a business person, are flying absolutely blind. That's why there is NetSuite by Oracle. It is the tool to help you fix that.

The guide is free at net suite.com slash Beck. NetSuite.com slash Beck. 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.
Starting point is 00:01:40 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. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up,
Starting point is 00:02:08 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. To the Gled Beck program, hello. And I'm excited. I don't know about you, but science is exciting right now.
Starting point is 00:03:23 We have the new, we have the new dire wolf out. Well, not new. Actually, the one that was snobes. snuffed out because, you know, it just, it probably shouldn't have lived any longer. And so it just dies out as a species. And now, after 10,000 years, we mixed one up in a jar and sprayed one out. So the new dire wolf is, the old dire wolf is back. Oh, I can't wait to see the fun on this.
Starting point is 00:03:56 And next, snuffalophagus. Now, here is the question. This is a company that we've had on before to talk about, you know, what are you guys doing? Have you ever watched Jurassic Park? This is not a good idea. There's another story out about this, and it just talks about some of the investors in the company. And one of the investors is the CIA. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't think the CIA should be investing in companies, okay?
Starting point is 00:04:35 But the real question is, why would the CIA be investing in companies? Oh, there's some theories. It's scarier than the dire wolf and a little scarier than Tyrannosaurus Rex as well. I'll give that to you here in just a second. Stand by first. Have you ever noticed how one day pain just shows up like an uninvited guest and then just never leaves, like family? You know what I mean? You're like, oh, hi there, knee pain.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Must have twisted something. A few days go by and you start realizing that pain really is overstayed. It's welcome. And next thing you know, it's just hanging around all the time. It's there when you wake up in the morning, hasn't left you when you go to bed at night. It's time to kick that uninvited guest out. Kick him to the curb. Best way I found to do that is relief factor.
Starting point is 00:05:20 It's not a drug. It was developed by doctors and it goes right after the real enemy, inflammation in your body. It is the root of most of our pain, and when you get rid of that, your body actually has a shot of feeling normal again. You remember, normal, right? Relief factor. Help me kick my pain out. Could help you. 1995, the trial pack, three-week quick start. Just try it, see if it works for you. It doesn't work for everybody. They're up front and honest about that. 70% of the people, though, try it, go on to order more month after month, just like me. 800 for relief. 800, the number four relief.
Starting point is 00:05:54 It's relief factor.com. So, Stu, how excited are you that the animal made famous by Game of Thrones that when extinct 13,000 years ago is among us now? You know, they said Trump was the greatest comeback story. And now we have the dire wolf. Yeah. So do we have any of the video of the dire wolf? Here's the dire wolves, their little babies.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Aw. Aren't they cute? Oh my gosh, I want one. Yeah, no, you don't. No, no, I want one. No, you really don't. How cute they are. Oh, my gosh, I want one.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Oh, they're so cute, aren't they? Yeah, they're a little loud. Forget it. I'm bringing it back to the pouch. You know, you want to get up in the middle of night and hear, oh, whoa! No, I, no. Uh-uh.
Starting point is 00:06:46 So, uh, they retrieve the DNA from fossils of dire wolves, 13,000 years ago, they were over. Then they discovered additional DNA and they edited 20 genes of gray wolves and then put the dire wolf in the gray wolf. And we now have the new and improve dire wolf, which I'm not sure this is a good idea. You know, when it comes to AI, when it comes to all of the, Has anyone watched a movie? Has anyone watched a movie? This was all science fiction dystopia stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:28 It's now here. So as I'm going, perusing this, because remember, the next thing is Woolly Mammoth. And we had the CEO on the program, remember? And I said, why are you thinking about bringing the Woolly Mammoth back? He said, it'd be good for the environment. What? It'll be good for the environment. How is a woolly, do they not fart and do they eat cows?
Starting point is 00:07:56 What, how is that? He didn't really have a good answer on that, but it'll make a lot of people on the left feel good. Oh, it's good for the environment. So we'll bring the woolly mammoth back. And look at, they're so furry and stuff. They'll make great throw rugs in the end. So the next step is to bring back the woolly mammoth. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Again, you know, if you believe in Darwin, you believe in survival of the fittest, there's a reason these animals went extinct. One of the reasons I think for like these large, dangerous animals is so we could live. You know, there was a lot of, oh my God, going on. You know what I mean? I just want to make that clear. Maybe we've forgotten about that, but that's what those animals were doing to humans. But we'll put them on a special island.
Starting point is 00:09:03 And then we'll be fine. So now we have the dire wolf, which is truly wonderful. And as I get into this, I see who some of the investors are. And one of the investors that is really excited about just pouring money, into the colossal bioscience is the CIA.
Starting point is 00:09:30 I'm giving you a chance to process that for a second. First of all, CIA, they've got a budget to invest in companies. Sounds like a bad idea. It shouldn't really be part of what the CIA does. Well, it's not a hedge fund, right? They're not just investing. They have good reason to invest. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:51 So if you're looking to do what the CIA does, this might be a very good application for them. Here's why gene editing is catching the eye of the, are you ready? It's a dual-use technology. Gene editing tools like CRISPR are inherently dual use, meaning they can serve civilian purposes, conservation, biotech breakthroughs, and military intelligence ones. So, okay, I'm trying to, wooly mammoths, woolly mammoths.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Why would you want to bring a woolly mammoth? Well, one of them is they believe that they could crisper their way into bioengineering resilient organisms, you know, like. spy drones that are animals enhancing human capabilities maybe we can manglea our way into gene splicing a little of the dire wolf into all of us so we'll be a little stronger I feel like just on its surface we shouldn't manglea our way into anything you don't think so I think that's always a bad choice all right I always thought so always I thought so too there's lots of college campuses right now whether they're saying the opposite I've noticed in protest but I'm going to go with No, on the mangola into anything.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Try this one out for size. Another reason why the CIA may be interested in the new, hey, let's bring animals back from the dead. Ecological and geopolitical leverage. Deextinction. Great word, huh? New. Deextinction could reshape ecosystems intentionally or not. imagine reintroducing a species to destabilize a rival nation's agriculture or environment.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Say, flooding a region with engineered pests or altering food chains. You know, I don't think this is a good idea. I don't think this is a good idea. If you weren't convinced the CIA is out of control, you might want to share this with your friends. Biosecurity and threat assessment. Reason number three. Advocaries develop gene editing for hostile purposes, in other words, a weaponized pathogen or super soldiers. The CIA needs to stay ahead. Investing in colossal gives them a front row seat to cutting-edge biotech, letting them study its limits and vulnerabilities. They're not
Starting point is 00:12:43 just funding it. They're learning how to defend against it or wield it themselves if it's necessary. Now this comes from a story out of China where China is re-engineering people, trying to make them smarter. I mean, come on, guys, Chinese are always, they're better at instruments, they're better at math, they're better at really almost everything. This is interesting research, though. It's an interesting approach. You almost have to come up with a name for it, like a gain of function research. Would that be something that would maybe? Oh my gosh. What a great That would be, gain a function. That would work perfectly.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Oh my gosh. What could go wrong. Okay. Now, reason number four, synthetic biology for covert ops. Picture a bioengineered animal, say a dire wolf with tweaked senses used for surveillance or tracking in remote areas where drones might fail. We are screwed. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:13:40 We are screwed. Uh-huh. Number five, future-proofing influence. biotech is poised to explode economically. Think lab-grown meat. I don't want to think about lab-grown. Gene therapies or climate fixes. I don't think we should be doing stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:00 You know, can we really stop? We really should stop. We're creating God in AI. We're now thinking we can bring things back from the dead. I believe that was those two things. were the story of Frankenstein. Throw that in there. Okay. We can bring things back from the dead.
Starting point is 00:14:22 You know what we can do? We can bioengineer so things could live forever. And it'll be smarter. And of course, it will always stay under our control. Oh my gosh. By backing colossal, the CIA via IQT, gets a stake in a field that could rival big tech in influence. If de-extinction, if de-extinction,
Starting point is 00:14:45 scales, it might affect food security, land use, or even cultural narratives. Okay. So there's your update on how the world will end today. That's one of the most disturbing things I have read in a long time. I mean, you know, I'm just trying to get my arms around AI and how we can use AI for a very short period of time before it's turned against us and eats us all. well we might the dire wolf might eat us first
Starting point is 00:15:20 but I'm just getting my arms around that I don't think we needed to introduce this one too and the fact that the CIA is involved not good yeah but we can release a bunch of animals in places where drones won't be effective with their special senses where on earth
Starting point is 00:15:41 where on earth would a drone not be effective well tunnel right like like Think of the Hamas tunnels. If we could release some dire wolves down there, probably more effective than our drones. But still, I think we could go over to the...
Starting point is 00:15:55 I think we could go over to really nasty parts of, like, the Czech Republic and get dogs that have just been, you know, they're breeding them to tear people apart and throw them in the tunnels. I don't think we need to go back. Yeah, but they don't have the special senses. They don't have laser eyes. No, you're right. They don't.
Starting point is 00:16:13 You need to have wolves with laser eyes. What could go wrong with those? those. They're probably great pets. The problem with this is, like, I feel like the industrial revolution gave us a lot of these types of things where you'd say like, for example, we, we develop cars. And we could have had the same conversation, you know, Model T's rolling off the assembly line and we're like, hey, you know, people are just going to keep making these things faster and faster and faster. And they're going to get to the point where they're going to 300 miles an hour. And that happened, right? That's happened.
Starting point is 00:16:46 But it doesn't, there was never a point where they're going so fast that the entire world ends. Right. Right. Like, with AI, with gene splicing, with biological warfare, nuclear warfare. We keep having these conversations of eventually some bad actor is going to take this to some logical extreme and we're all screwed. What are the chances? There are no bad actors in the world. Can you name a thousand?
Starting point is 00:17:16 1.2 billion, 2.4 billion. I mean, besides everyone that is, you know, when somebody writes a prescription and gives you advice as a doctor, I don't think they need a pardon so they can never go to jail. You know what I mean? You know, when Fauci's just writing a prescription, he's like, look, you should wear a mask. You should wear a mask. And, you know, take this. I, you know, that's doctor's advice. I don't think that you need a pardon.
Starting point is 00:17:46 he was doing was so corrupt that he needed a presidential pardon. I don't know, those are the kind of doctors that maybe we should put in jail. Maybe it's just me. I mean, how do we get to this place? How do we get out? It's going to be interesting to see how this all works out. How do we get out of this place where we just seem hell bent on our own destruction? And I just, you know, with all of these things, I just don't see. how, like our response with nuclear weapons and biological weapons was to just try to limit them as much as possible. Right. To go out and every time we heard
Starting point is 00:18:27 hey, Bob over in Iran might be doing, so maybe have the nuclear weapons. Let's go over there and stop them. That's kind of been our approach and it's worked so far but eventually it's probably won't. And with AI our response is let's just keep pushing it as fast as possible
Starting point is 00:18:43 with a bunch of different really smart companies competing along with governments at doing the same thing. Well, we did kind of, I mean, that's unfair a little bit. Is it? Yeah, it is. Let me give me a minute and we'll break and then I'll come back and I'll explain why that's unfair. We live in a culture now that lies to women, full stop.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Career is the most important thing you can do in life. You should be nice to the dude in the dress. Let him play sports because he's actually a woman too. That thing inside of you, just a clump of cells, doesn't matter. All of this is nonsense. It's lie and it's evil. That's why the ministry of preborn is fighting back, and they're fighting in the best possible way with truth, compassion, and love.
Starting point is 00:19:26 They offer free ultrasounds to expecting moms, showing them the beautiful human being growing inside of them and working to convince them to choose life. Then they help that mom with the necessities for up to two years after she gives birth. They're changing hearts and minds, and they need our help to make this happen every day. Would you join? Please join them as.
Starting point is 00:19:47 they rescue women and babies every single day. One ultrasound is only $28. 140 helps rescue five babies. I don't think you're going to regret the choice to save a life.

Starting point is 00:20:11 So you have to remember that we didn't control things until after we used the bomb. everyone was rushing towards it and we didn't know. I mean, there was honestly, there were, I don't know, 10% of scientists that said, if we do this, it could cause a chain reaction that could set the entire world on fire. I remember that from the documentary Oppenheimer. All right. So kind of not really. Anyway, so close.
Starting point is 00:20:49 We had no idea what we were doing. We just knew we had to get there first. So afterwards, this is where it becomes fair. Afterwards, we could ban it. We could control it. It took extraordinary amounts of money to do. It took certain equipment that we could just ban. You can't do that.
Starting point is 00:21:14 And it was only nation levels that could actually create one. You know, the average person couldn't create. You know, even if you had all the knowledge in the world, the world. You couldn't create a nuclear weapon in your basement. You need access to certain things that could be banned. When it comes to AI, that's not true. That's not true. AI, you're going to have to ban so much. And if somebody is using a nuclear weapon on their own people, you know it. You know what I mean? You know it. If somebody's using AI against their own people, you'll never know it. I mean, that's the kind of things that we're dealing with now, where it is so insidious that it can fall into
Starting point is 00:22:01 the hand of one person and it can design a weapon that they can make themselves that will kill half the people on the planet. And you didn't even see it coming. You didn't even know. You didn't even know. You could have the government ban it, but they're using it on you. And you'd never know. That's the real problem, I think, with AI. and the fact that you can no longer put it back in the bottle. It's going to happen. We're all racing to get there. But there is no way to put this back into the bottle.
Starting point is 00:22:35 There's no way to control this like there was with nukes. And honestly, that's why Silicon Valley went to Trump. You know this, right? They were having a meeting. Remember when Kamala Harris was like, AI, it's great. It's a fun two letters. It's actually two words, artificial intelligence. Remember that?
Starting point is 00:22:58 Oh, yeah. So insulting. That was the meeting that she had with all of the big wigs in Silicon Valley. And they said at that meeting, don't spend any more money on server farms or anything else. We're taking care of it. This will all be controlled by the United States government because it's too big to let anyone else have it except for the United States government. They all walked out and went, we can't let the government have this. We're going to let the government have this.
Starting point is 00:23:23 We're let the government be the only one that has this. That's not good. That's why they flipped to Trump because they realized this cannot just be in the hands of the government. But I'd be the one in the room going, I don't think any of you guys should have this in your hands. Nobody should have access. What you're building is an anti-god. This is Glenn Beck. NMLS-18234.

Yeah, that's what I hear. Wow. Wow. Anyway, did you hear about the dire wolf?
Starting point is 00:25:41 Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the CIA is thinking about... Now, the CIA part, I didn't know. You didn't know that. No.
Starting point is 00:25:48 They're thinking of investing. Yeah, they want to invest in it. In the dire wolf program. No, not the dire wolf program, but in the whole, let's bring animals back from the dead. That's weird. Yeah. Why, are they thinking dinosaurs could be used against the Soviets? Is that what it is?
Starting point is 00:26:02 Pretty much. They're talking about bringing things and, gene splicing things to use them as possible weapons. Wow. You know, you'll be, China. I mean, look out. Well, I mean, really, actually look out. Look up first.
Starting point is 00:26:18 When you see those planes dropping woolly mammoths from the sky, you'll know it was us. You'll know it was us. So don't screw with us, China. It's scary. It's terrifying. Yeah, it is. We're just talking about how we're doing so many things right now that all of us, it's, you know, I really, the older I get, the more I realize, it's not the people.
Starting point is 00:26:39 It's really not the people. If there were no such thing as politicians, we'd be pretty good. I mean, we need them because we need to have some sort of, you know, society and somebody holding things together. But they're the ones who are just, we all, I think we could all go into a room, you know, a big room with like, I don't know, 300 million people where there's no politician. in there and we go, hey, what do you say? We start bringing back dinosaurs.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I think we could get a consensus pretty quickly. No. No. No. No. No. No, let's have the CIA invest in that. No. No. No what I mean? Right off the top. It's the politicians that are screwing things up all the time. The average person is like, I have no problem. I have absolutely no problem with anybody in Russia. I have no problem with anybody in the Ukraine. I'm sure they're both fine. it's I'm convinced it's the politicians because you know they're over there going this is going to get us into a war what what is he doing what is he doing they don't say it or they'll find themselves slipping out of a window you know on the 18th floor of some building it's very cold a lot of ice a lot of ice by the windows by the windows a lot of times a lot of times you know cold air comes in yeah you have a little water you're falling out of window yeah you're falling out a window it happens all the time all the time yeah are you I feel like we were talking about this earlier pat of these things
Starting point is 00:28:03 that we've created that are just getting out of control and at some point something really bad is going to happen with them. They're not out of control yet. What do you mean? Right. AI's not out of control. AI is a great example of this, right? Like I was reading this thing where these people were writing about AI and the different uses
Starting point is 00:28:18 for different AI systems. And they were saying like, oh, you know, chat GBT is great for creative writing, but you know, GROC is better for coding. And they were talking about this and this guy was doing coding. And he's like, you know, I just love it. Because every time I could just type these things in and it codes it perfectly every single time. And I was thinking about like how that plays out over a long period of time. Uh-huh. Because we've had this- Where there are nobody, there was nobody writing code anymore.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Right. Yeah. So like we've had this situation for a long period of time where these people, really smart people, they've learned to code. They took the advice of what was it, was it Clinton or no, it was. Biden? Was it Biden? Yeah. Learned a code. They learned to code. And they go through every line of code, and they're meticulous and they do a really good job most of the time. And then there's like 20 other people that are checking it and looking at every line of code, They're all familiar with how this code works. Yeah. And then every once in a while you have a situation that things were legal wrong.
Starting point is 00:29:09 We missed that line. Right. Like, do you know the Sonos, the speaker company? Have you guys followed the story at all? No. They did an app update, maybe it was a year ago. And it was an utter catastrophe, like to the point of like it. Like almost put the company out.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Almost put the company out of business. CEO had to resign. It didn't work with a bunch of the different speakers. And, you know, the stock price dropped at like 70% or whatever the story. It was a real catastrophe. Another example of this would be the documentary Superman 3, where Richard Pryor was stealing a fraction of a cent from each transaction. And then this was duplicated in another documentary office space. But in that case, maliciously, when they put code in there and they were stealing a little bit of a fraction of every transaction to make themselves wealthy.
Starting point is 00:29:57 My point here is that when you go down these roads and instead of a person or many people, meticulously looking through every line of code, you're just going into GROC and going, make me program that does this with speakers, right? And it just does it. Uh-huh. What, how are we going to know where the problems are when they develop?
Starting point is 00:30:20 Where, in what part of the just giant chain of GROC transactions? We already don't know how it works. We don't even know how it works. Imagine, imagine somebody, you go into a car dealership and they're like, this car is fantastic. It's fantastic. It'll run forever. It'll go 400 miles an hour on, you know, just the whiff of gas. You just bring it by a gas station and just the fumes. It'll power it for four months. You'll be like, this is fantastic. Yep, yep. You can take it right now. How does it work? We have no idea. We have absolutely no idea. Well, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,
Starting point is 00:30:58 what do you mean you don't know how it works? Well, it doesn't work and it'll run forever. How do you know it's going to run forever? Well, it just will. Well, but you don't know how it even works. How are you going to know it's not going to break down every? Hey, let me ask you, is it possible that it could just drive me into a tree at some point? Well, that's ridiculous. That's a conspiracy theory.
Starting point is 00:31:18 No, you don't have the answer because you don't know how it works. It's never been tried before. So you have no idea. You should ask these questions. What happens if we start mixing, you know, ancient animals that were. distinct for a reason and start bringing them back and introducing them into the system that might have some ramifications that we don't understand. We have never seen humans as arrogant as they are right now and as a sleep.
Starting point is 00:31:50 They're asleep. Yeah. But also really smart and capable of incredible things, right? Like, that's the problem here. Like, these aren't just little minor things where, oh, gosh, something goes wrong. and little things happen. These are incredible achievements that if they go wrong is going to be a big consequence.
Starting point is 00:32:07 This is why if you have children, you keep handguns in a safe. Okay? We are children. We are children. The smartest of us are children working with these things. No. No.
Starting point is 00:32:20 And with AI, it's already lying to us. And it's already hiding things that it doesn't want you to see. So you're not a little alarmed by that? And no, we just keep going. forward. We just keep barreling full steam ahead. I have to tell you,
Starting point is 00:32:35 because I've been struggling with it. I mean, you know, still I've been talking about this for since the 90s. The night, when we first met, probably one of our first conversations
Starting point is 00:32:45 was, you have no, you don't know about AI. You don't know what it can do. It was one of the first times, Pat, I was bored by him. He goes all the way back then.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Wow. Wow. I see where this is going. Or went, really. Kind of rear-viewing mirror at this point. But,
Starting point is 00:33:01 I mean, this has been coming for a very long time and I have been struggling with, how do you deal with it? And because it is a miracle tool. It is a miracle tool. Yeah. But there is going to come a time. You just have to be, you have to just be away from it enough. You have to have it in your life, but guardrails all around it.
Starting point is 00:33:28 So you can easily go, okay, we're jettising that. now out in remember in uh remember in uh star wars where they where they hid in the garbage right before it was ejected and they just let their magnet on their spacecraft go so it floated out into space so they couldn't see it do you remember that episode no vaguely well anyway at some point we really need to be like that where we can just like open a bay door and everything's sucked out away from our life but i don't think you can no i mean society won't be able to think about this. You have someone writing code for full self-driving, right? It goes into a Tesla and it's driving around and it's totally fine 99% of the time. And then one day he's like, hey, there's
Starting point is 00:34:15 a kindergarten class. I'm just going to run it over. Who's at fault? No one even wrote the code. I know. I mean, the driver can't be at fault, right? But I guess Tesla gets sued. This is one of the things. Remember years ago, we were talking about that MIT study and they were doing, you know, who does the, who does the automatic car kill? You've got a bus full of nuns, and then you have, uh, and you have a car with four people in them, but one of them is the head of Microsoft, you know, and, you know, some, some Nobel Prize winner, which one do you kill? Well, you won't make that decision. A.I. will. Plus, it's not even that hard a decision. It's really not. It's really not. It's really not. Of course, it's the nuns that you kill.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Right. Of course. But, uh, he's not even. too important. But I mean, it's going to make all of these decisions for us. And that only makes us into me want code. Let me ask you this. If you use GROC, you misuse GROC and you're not learning from it. You're just using it as Google. I mean, we used to sit around all the time.
Starting point is 00:35:27 And I'm not pining for these days. And we'd be like, what was the name of that movie? What was the name of this? What was that? And it was kind of like a badge of honor that you like could remember something. Yeah, I will say it was fun. It was fun. It was fun. Yeah. We don't have that. No. Because there's always someone in the back of the room goes, oh, it's this one. And they just hold up their phone. You're like, oh, right. Thank you. You've ruined the conversation. I know. So, but we are now entering a place to where everything will be grocified. So you don't have to even think. You just ask it if you want to go there. What happens to our ability to think? This is
Starting point is 00:36:01 where Ray Kurzweil and I had that argument about 15 years ago. Remember I said, he's like, well, you're going to make space for other things. So you can ponder deeper questions. And I'm like, yeah, you might. Maybe, maybe once a week. I will. But everybody else will be like, I can play video games forever now. I don't have to think of me, think nothing.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Yeah. Yeah, what was the movie where humans didn't do anything? Robots did it all. And so they were all fat and couldn't walk anymore. Wally. Yeah, Wally. Wally. The documentary Wally?
Starting point is 00:36:34 The documentary Wally. Showed us what becomes of us when machines do everything for us. We just sit around and get fat. That's so clearly a fairy tale because in real life the machine would kill the fat ones. It's true. They're like, why am I serving these fat ones that can't even move? What is wrong with me? You know, it's so interesting because when you ask like a question to one of these AIs,
Starting point is 00:37:00 I don't need to signal any of the route because they all do things pretty well. But like one thing that's interesting is when you ask the same question, right? You ask a question, a direct question. When you ask it again later, three days later, it gives you usually a similar response, right? Like it'll give you like,
Starting point is 00:37:15 they should give you the same general information, but like the words are all different. It's like you're having a conversation with a human. And every time you have a conversation with the human, the words are a little bit different. They're not going to, they're not machines, except for Ted Cruz, who would just word for word,
Starting point is 00:37:28 sound for sound can repeat himself. Ramoswamy. And Ramoswamy, there you go. Imagine if those two could have kids and one of them could get pregnant. That's true. That's true. But imagine those two. That would be frightening.
Starting point is 00:37:37 That would be frightening. But like, think about how many times we do this. We all do this just as a show, right? You read an article, right? And then two months later, we're talking about something. And you're like, oh, yeah, I remember I was reading this piece about this and this happened and this happened. How do you check your references when it's AI?
Starting point is 00:37:57 The conversation's gone. I mean, yes. Maybe it's in there somewhere if you know how to search for it. But like, I don't, right. And maybe you're an AI expert. You could pull that up. It's really, you just don't delete the conversations on the side.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Yeah, I know. But like finding the right one. It's not like Googling. Like it's, I've played with it enough to know that like, half the time it doesn't know where it is. It kind of remembers that you had a conversation,
Starting point is 00:38:18 but it can't pull it up. No, it won't remember that. Right now. It can't remember that. Right. So like, how am I referencing that?
Starting point is 00:38:26 You're not. Right. Like, am I taking every single one of these conversations out? But it's in my head. It's three months ago I read it. And it was a good smart piece of analysis. Can I go quote? Now, can I go back and like, oh, well, I remember this piece I read from Daniel Horowitz.
Starting point is 00:38:41 I can bring you to that. I can't bring you to the thing I read three months ago. That will change. Right now that is a problem because do you know how the, you know what vectoring is? I mean, I'm learning so much about AI right now. It is frightening. Vectering, you know how you used to have to type in exactly. If you're searching for something, you had to type it in exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Yeah, right. Okay, if you're searching for a word or a sentence or something, you'd have to type it in exactly and you keep trying, trying, trying, trying, vectoring now the way it is, it is looking at each word is called a token. And each token, each word has like, forgive me for you who really understand AI. It's got like 460 different meanings to every token. And so what it does is it. strings all these tokens together and it looks at all 460 meanings of each word and then figures
Starting point is 00:39:36 out most likely you're looking for this. And it does that in a split second, right? In a split second. And that's because of all of that computing power, that's why it can't remember things because it can't also keep track of all of that at this point. It's just too much. But it will. Yeah. It will. Eventually. Eventually. Yeah. But it's hard because you, I mean, especially when you're human. and you're trying to say, hey, I remember I read this thing. Well, who did you read from? Was it a reliable source? Was it, was it AI?
Starting point is 00:40:06 Was it a real human? Was it something that, like, you're filling your head with all of this information, and it's hard to be able to trace it back? Like, how many times have we done this? Like, oh, I remember this article, and we were searching for it and searching for and you finally locate it. Yeah. AI is great helping to find that article.
Starting point is 00:40:23 But when AI is the article, it's not great at it, which is bizarre. All right. back in just a second. Let me talk to you about My Patriot Supply. You know what we should be doing, you know, waiting for the next crisis to take us by surprise. That seems like what we should do. You know, instead of like fire season, you know, it's getting longer. Power outages are hitting harder. Wind blows a little bit. Grid goes down. Let's just forget about that and be surprised.

There was a time, and it really wasn't that long ago, when faith-based films kind of meant something very specific, you know, good intentions. Bad? What you're saying is they were bad. A lot of cringing. Oh, it's a Christian film. Don't go. Run for your life. Right. It's a great message. Great. The heart is in the right place. But the execution was always bad. So let's say you were
Starting point is 00:42:21 not exactly racing to the theater back then. You watched more out of duty than out of desire. But something has shifted. Audiences are demanding more. And thankfully, studios are stepping up. Angel Studios, the team that brought us Sound of Freedom and so many other. great movies recently is leading the charge. They are now back with a new project that could not come at a better time. It's called King of Kings. And it is the story about a father who's sharing the life of Jesus with his son at bedtime. But through the boy's imagination, it transforms into a sweeping, animated journey through life and miracles and the sacrifice of Christ. It is intimate, it is powerful, and it is visually, absolutely stunning. This is not just for kids either. It's for families.
Starting point is 00:43:00 We're going to go up this weekend. It is for believers. It's for really anyone who, who, who wants to see the greatest story ever told. Why are you going? You're a jerk.

I'm just saying, just a safety tip. I would say don't do it anywhere. Just like let's stay away from the mangola of it all.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Actually, I should say, if you're going to, make sure you do it in Idaho, because there's a great surprise waiting for you. Just about everything you depend on through the day, power, food, water, communication, all of it's held together by a thread. You never think about it when the lights are on.

We'll do that in 60 seconds first. Do you ever feel like modern life comes with way too many logins? I hate that. I can't take the login thing. Your banking app, your streaming services, grocery delivery, health care portal, wallet app, airline. app, all of this crap. Oh my gosh. If my toaster ever asked me before you press the plunger,
Starting point is 00:47:01 what's your password? I don't want to use it. There's a lot of logins, a lot of passwords to keep track of. But you know who's really good at doing that? Cybercriminals, they don't seem to have any trouble remembering your login information at all.

Starting point is 00:47:47 All right, so we survived yesterday. Thank goodness. Yesterday was kind of scary. there for a while. Because when I first got in, they were screaming on television. 37 minutes before the stock market all but... And they're like, oh, okay, all right. And then it turns out to be like, nothing.
Starting point is 00:48:08 I mean, we last 1% but really, from in the morning, this is going to be the worst day in the history of all mankind. You remember January 6th? Gonna be worse than that. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Calm down. So, you know, Europe, it went down 6%. Markets worldwide went down. We went down 1%. And that's because President Trump, who announced a zero-for-zero-zero-toreau tariff scheme. I love that word. Used all over in mainstream media today, Trump's tariff scheme. Ooh, that sounds honest, doesn't it, would slap 20% duty on things like from the European Union.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Well, European Union came out yesterday, led by their trade commissioner, who I'm not even going to do an attempt to even pronounce the name because it has like little down arrows over four of the letters in the name. So I don't even know what that means. Anyway, they countered with their own zero for zero proposal yesterday. And Trump said, now, not good enough. They're like a zero for zero. No. Why? He said, you got to buy oil from us.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Now, in a sane world, they would immediately go, okay, can we get a good deal on that? If we're buying all of our oil from you, can we get a good deal on that? Yes, we'll give you a great deal, buy your oil from us. And everybody in NATO would go, hey, that would keep us off the teat of Russia and China. What do you say we buy oil and gas from the United States? So it's a good thing because just like all of the NATO conversations that they've been having with the EU, if the United States has a national interest at stake. You want to go in and march across Europe?
Starting point is 00:49:57 Wait a minute. They are a major factor to our economy because they are buying our oil. I don't think you're going to do that. Are they this blind to not understand what is happening now? We're no longer going to fight the wars just to fight wars. No, unless it's in our national interest. Now, it is in our national interest to have a strong West. But not for free, gang, no.
Starting point is 00:50:26 So I told you last week that he named the tariffs Liberation Day, and I think that is because after World War II, we had Liberation Day. We had the day where everybody is free from the Nazis and everything else. And the United States did something that no country has ever, ever, ever even considered. doing. First of all, we became the broker to bring all of the art and everything else back that had been stolen. We didn't take those spoils for ourselves. We returned them to the original orders and we're still doing it. It's incredible. Nobody has ever done that. Then we had the Marshall Plan. That was $13 billion. But in today's money, that's $135 billion between 1948, 1952. Why? What was it? We were rebuilding so they could have factories,
Starting point is 00:51:18 to open up for their people. Now, an evil company or country would just say, no, you're going to buy everything from us. You will be our slaves now. We rebuilt Europe so they could have jobs and factories. We helped them rebuild Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz. Hello? Okay, we didn't have any obligation to do it,
Starting point is 00:51:45 but we saw it as morally right, so we did it. So we allowed the high tariffs on American goods while keeping ours low because it was good for them. And we also shouldered the burden of their defense through NATO. We spent billions of dollars annually. The U.S. defense spending accounts for 68% of NATO's total budget. Roughly $560 billion last year alone. Meanwhile, Europe was prospering. Now, why aren't they now?
Starting point is 00:52:20 Because they had sugar daddy that would be there for the old. When you have a sugar daddy, you tend to get lazy. Why are the American people so lazy now? Because we have the United States government being everybody's sugar daddy. Oh, that'll just give it to me. Oh, it doesn't matter if I make a mistake with trillions of dollars. They'll just bail me out. That doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Okay? It didn't work for them. It's not working for us. So we go down this road after Liberation Day the first time, and we get to the 1970s. And now we're getting fat and sassy. And we're like, you know what? We control the whole world. We can just make stuff up.
Starting point is 00:52:58 And so we decide to get off the gold standard because half of the politicians want to have big war. And the other half wants to have, you know, big welfare state. Well, you can't do both. and like any good parent, our government said, you can have both. You know what? You could have both. Yeah. And so we got off the gold standard.
Starting point is 00:53:22 But we played a trick on everybody. Okay. When we got off the gold standard, everybody around the world went, wait a minute, wait a minute, we hold your dollars because they're good as good as gold. We can turn a dollar in to your Federal Reserve or your treasury and we can demand we get a dollar's worth of gold. Now you're saying you're not going to have that standard anymore. so I can't take a dollar and buy a dollars worth of gold.
Starting point is 00:53:44 No, but you can trust us. Oh, run from those people. So we said, we've made a special deal that's going to be super good for everybody. We're going to have U.S. dollars become a petro dollar. You'll only be able to buy Saudi Arabia's oil and oil from OPEC by using a U.S. dollar. So it's as good as gold. It's just black gold. Oh. Okay. And then when that didn't do enough, we also said to them, by the way, we're going to also just come in and we're going to buy all. You know, you bought Maytag washing machines and everything else. We're going to move Maytag to your countries. So you can build it and we'll become your buyers now. We'll become the buyer of the world. Okay. You really, that's not a good idea just to become the consumer of.
Starting point is 00:54:41 the world. Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat. No, you also have to do some other things. And we do export a lot of things. But we're not able to sustain ourselves. Every country should be able to sustain itself. So we created the demand for German machinery from Japanese TVs and everything else. The petro dollar made it happen. And then what happened? Our manufacturing jobs start dropping. from 33% of the U.S. employment in 1950, now manufacturing jobs only 8%. And I'm not saying that manufacturing is the place you ought to be, but it's important to understand what else was happening at the same time because of manufacturing. Our system was reshaped, and this is, again, why Donald Trump is saying this is Liberation Day. our country was reshaped, our society was shaped in subtler ways.
Starting point is 00:55:44 After World War I and World War II, we started having the assembly line and everything else, and we retooled our education. Now, why? Why did we go from one of the world's best educators with the best educated in the world, in the history of the world, to a bunch of just morons? Have you met the American people lately? We're just morons. Why?
Starting point is 00:56:13 Because the giant corporations did not need thinkers. They wanted just obedient workers. This is why, and I just, I want you to hold on to this because it explains everything about our education system. And you heard it a million times when you went to school. Boys and girls, take out your pencils and your pencils and your parents. paper and write this down because this will be on the test. What does that tell you? That tells you the teacher is teaching to the test and is teaching you what to think, not how to think. Okay? Why? Because if you're in the assembly line,
Starting point is 00:56:57 I don't need you to think. Just do it. Well, but why am I putting this and this together? Wouldn't it be better? No, just do it. Okay? You're not. You're not. You're not. You're not. You're not. You're not. You're a thinker. Those people went to college. They have a degree. That's why you couldn't get into business unless you had a college degree, because you had to learn how to think if you were going to work in the office upstairs above the factory. All right? So this was all planned for this economy the way it was working. Now we spend more money per pupil, $14,825 per pupil in 2022, yet we're 36th in math, 13th in reading, and we've created the most expensive and least effective educational system the world has ever seen. Is that working for us? Is the way we fight our wars working for us? Because we then also became the
Starting point is 00:57:56 world's policemen. After World War II, we said, you know what, we'll take care of this. Since the Cold War's end, we have been fighting the same way that we were fighting back in 1948 and 52 against the Soviet Union. Everything was geared for that big kind of war. That's over. Now, it's over. The U.S. military spent $6 trillion on military operations in the Middle East alone. And what do we have to show for it. Strained alliances, a new airport that China now has that we gave to them in Afghanistan, and a ballooning national debt of $34 trillion. So now this puts us into like the 1990s and we're seeing that this is going to start to come apart. And this is in the 80s, Ronald Reagan started talking about saying there's a debt and we're going to have to pay this
Starting point is 00:58:52 someday and it's Social Security and everything else. These things don't work. The math doesn't work out. And he said soon, after the turn of the century, you will see it will all start to fall apart and we will be out of good options. We should fix it now. And everybody said that, but that's when they came up with it. We got a lockbox.
Starting point is 00:59:11 We got a little lockbox. We're putting all the money from Social Security and a little lockbox. They don't have a lockbox. Okay? That was a lie again. But it was just to say, we got a lockbox. So you can have it all. No. No. So now we have $34 trillion in debt. And instead of addressing the root causes, what did our elites do? This is the key to all of it. You want to understand what Donald Trump is trying to do. This is the key to all of it. And I'll explain it in 60 seconds. It's hard to nail down exactly when change happened. But somewhere along the line, grocery shopping started to feel a lot like gambling. You'd pick up your chicken and think,
Starting point is 00:59:51 is this more chemical than it is chicken? My country did this come from? Honestly, you don't know. It's a roll of the dice pretty much every time if you're not getting your meat from good ranchers. I love them because everything they sell is 100% American meat. No gambling. No wondering if you're about to eat imported mystery meat.
Starting point is 01:00:10 With good ranchers is high-quality beef, chicken, or seafood raised here in America by American farmers and ranchers. That's one reason I love good ranchers so much. they're actually working to help save the small farms and ranches throughout the United States. I live among those people for about four months of the year. I live in a small town. It's about 450 people. Everybody is a rancher or a farmer or something to do with the land.
Starting point is 01:00:36 I should say most of them. And that's the salt. That's the backbone of America. If we don't support our farms and ranches, we're screwed. So get your meat, get your chicken, your beef, if you're seafood, anything, from good ranchers.com. Good ranchers.com. You're helping support our farmers and our ranchers every time you have a piece of meat from
Starting point is 01:01:01 good ranchers. Good ranchers.com. Good ranchers. American meat delivered. 10 seconds. Station ID. Okay. So sometime, I think during the Clinton administration, the elites understood that,
Starting point is 01:01:25 wait a minute, this thing is not sustainable. The way it's running, it's not sustainable. And a lot of them didn't believe in the United States. They didn't believe in the freedom of the Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights, et cetera, et cetera. And so they thought, you know, there's a lot of stuff bad about America. So is it that bad that it's going to pass away? No, but we don't want a revolution. We don't want blood in the streets.
Starting point is 01:01:50 So let's just manage the decline. Okay. And we can even help it along. enter the modern climate change agenda, which is not about saving the planet. It is about helping the decline of the West, killing our energy supply, all this ESG, social government standards, DEI, even BLM, all of this stuff is rooted in various social concerns, but they're co-opted into a broader narrative. decouple America from its history, its entrepreneurial spirit, its faith, everything that empowers
Starting point is 01:02:32 the individual and fosters self-reliance, we've got to undermine it. So this is the managed decline. And that is in stark contrast to what made America America. Because what made us was we had a country of stable laws. We were unified, not in our differences. We were unified in the few principles that we had in common, our Bill of Rights. So we had stable laws rooted in the longest running constitution in the world, provided a predictable framework for business, a stable government, all of this stuff, educated populace, hardworking, ethical people that were God-fearing and abundant cheap energy. Okay, how much of that is true anymore? You want to make America great.
Starting point is 01:03:24 You've got to fix those things. So what is Donald Trump really doing? Why would he say, no, Europe, I got you, I see your zero, zero, but you're going to buy our oil as well. His strategy is a radical departure from the post-war order. It's high stakes, do not get me wrong. but it's to force the world to renegotiate on America's terms to shape the next chapter of the world. When he rejected the zero-for-zero-zero offer from Europe, he wasn't just playing hardball. He's signaling a new era by our energy.
Starting point is 01:04:12 We're your friends in the West. Let's help each other. This isn't a charity. This is a partnership. and when it's good for both sides, then that's a great partnership. Most favored nation status should mean mutual benefit, not one-sided sacrifice. So his approach is really what they tried to do, I guess, with the American Free Trade Agreement in 94. But that had so many flaws in it and everything else.
Starting point is 01:04:44 But it's can we just bring people together? that are friends and let's help each other all of us win. Now, I want you to know, agree or disagree. It's really a bold plan, a very bold plan and a little frightening at times. It's like a roller coaster ride. I kind of sit in the back seat and I'm like, it's going to be interesting to see how this all works out, you know? That's the way you have to, it's the way, if you're going to survive,
Starting point is 01:05:15 you have to watch society be engaged at your level with your friends, your family, but you need to say, going to be interesting to see how they work this out. I have no idea how this goes. But this is a new dawn now. And that's what you have to understand. That's what he's shooting for, a new dawn, the great reset, except it's a reset in reverse. Instead of managing decline, Trump is aiming to save the patient. He believes, and I believe, you believe, I think.
Starting point is 01:05:45 think that our best days are not behind us. They're ahead. And when you want to win big, you have to risk big. You know, Europe wasn't built with, with a lot of strings attached. We did attach some strings. They're not rushing to our aid now, nor should we expect them to. We don't need any foreign strings. We need to stand on our own. You know, Elon Musk's I hope the United States and Europe can establish a very close partnership, effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America. That's worth fighting for. It is. And if you see the world, I think the way the president sees it, the way I see it right now, this is a huge gamble to revitalize our country, to face the future, and have a promise for our kids. That, to me, is a gamble worth taking.
Starting point is 01:06:46 This is Glenn Beck. And with that said, Trump's announcing more tariffs on China. Hey, great. By the way, next week, we may be tariffing the moon. But anyway, we've been trying to fix this bleeding system. I can't say enough. I trust his instincts more than any politician I think I've encountered in my lifetime. But even when the right guy is at the wheel, that doesn't mean, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:16 that he's right all the time or the road won't be bumpy. So what do we do? Well, you don't panic, for one. You don't go out and sell all your stocks because Jim Kramer says to sell all your stocks. You hope for the best.

Starting point is 01:08:13 You don't want to miss anything in the next 60 minutes. We have Amy Parns on with us coming up in about a half an hour. She is one of the co-authors of Fight Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House. She is the co-author of the book about Joe Biden's decision to not seek re-election and the loss of Kamala Harris. I got a few questions. I have a few questions. We're going to be asking her coming up in just a second. Also, did you see Stu that Gina Carrano has just won a lawsuit against Disney?
Starting point is 01:08:59 Yeah, that's a big, that doesn't normally happen. No, it really has some big lawyers. No. And there's a reason for that. Walt Disney learned his lesson in about 19, I think 29 or 30 something. He had Oswald the Rabbit. And he leaves them. He leaves Universal.
Starting point is 01:09:19 And he's like, oh, right, well, go ahead. And he's like, we're not afraid. I've got Oswald the Rabbit. And they're like, no, actually, we have Oswald the Rabbit. And he had already quit. He had already put the gears into motion and he had nothing. Oh, and didn't realize he didn't own that IP. No, he had no idea.
Starting point is 01:09:38 Wow. So he gets on a train and his brother is freaking out in the West Coast. He's like, wait a minute. What? And he's like, yeah, well, don't worry, I got something else. He had nothing. He gets on the train and he starts doodling and on a napkin, he draws a Mickey Mouse. This is why you love him so much, these stories. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Yeah, he braced everything and he had actually nothing. But then he made it up afterwards and it all worked out. It all worked out. Anyway, what are you saying? Anyway, so he was bound and determined, I will never be behind the eight ball ever again. So he created the nastiest attorney firm in the history of the world. I don't think there's any corporation that is more nasty than, you know, than the Disney corporation. Here we have two stories now.
Starting point is 01:10:27 We have Gina Carrano, and the last time I saw somebody win was Sage Steele. Yeah, that's right. That's two women that have beaten Disney. I think that's remarkable. I wanted to call our good friend Sage Steele, get her on. Sage, how are you? Hello, Glenn. I'm great.
Starting point is 01:10:47 Thank you. And I'm so happy for Gina. It's not over yet, but this is a major battle. Right. She actually, now Disney has to turn over information about how every, everybody is, you know, paid on the Mandalorian and any other Star Wars shows. And they didn't want to do that. But would you agree with me, Sage, that that's just that's a remarkable win?
Starting point is 01:11:13 Absolutely. It's a huge win. And also, I mean, Disney's delay tactics have just been ongoing. And they lost that, too, a couple of months ago when they were trying to get the lawsuit thrown out all together. And judge said, let's go. quit procrastinating. And so this is massive because when you look at how they paid other stars on these projects, Pedro Pascal, Rosario, Doss, and other people, basically this is about Disney trying to hide
Starting point is 01:11:40 what they've been paying those people this whole time while allowing them to go off on social media. And Pedro Pascal, you know, comparing Donald Trump to Hitler, one of those. And that's fine to do on your social media. But Gina Carrano gets fired. So now that they have to reveal these financial records, this goes to show what Gina would have made had they not wrongly terminated her. And this is a major, major victory. What is it like when you realize, oh, good Lord, they're sending the mouse with a briefcase, my way.
Starting point is 01:12:14 What is that like when you realize you're in a lawsuit against Disney? Well, first of all, filing the lawsuit against Disney is not fun. Right. Did everybody in the room when you said that? Would everybody go, what did you just say you're going to do? Yeah, you idiot. Yeah. I mean, David versus Goliath for sure.
Starting point is 01:12:35 I mean, I had Disney. I had Disney. I had Gina on my show last summer. And I hadn't met her. I, of course, had followed her story. And when we met, we just hugged. And it was an emotional episode because we both understood in a very unique way that I hope many others don't have to understand the fear that comes with it.
Starting point is 01:12:52 But at some point, you get pushed around enough and you say, no, this is wrong. And if I stay silent, then it's on me. And then I know personally, I couldn't have looked myself in the mirror and Gina felt the same way. And she has worked so hard and done so professionally, you know, to the end's degree for all those years. Gina's one thing I didn't have and my attorney is the best in the business. Brian Friedman, who represented Megan Kelly, who represents Tucker Carlson, who's representing Justin Baldoni against Crazy Blake lively right now. My attorney is the best, and he is a dear friend of mine now, too. Gina has Elon Musk on her side.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Wait. Like, financially, she's in a little different situation than me because Elon Musk is putting the bill for her because he's standing up for what's right and the First Amendment. So you look at Gina, what do you think you have? What was it that you bonded with on that episode that you did? Initially, I think it was the obvious, okay, wow, two people who stood up to Disney, two women. Yeah. What happened?
Starting point is 01:14:04 Like, who are we? What happened to our lives? And it was just that obvious bond because it was such a big deal and people going, whoa. But more so, it was the betrayal that we felt coming from what we once thought. thought was the best company on earth. And such an honor to work with them and for them. And then when you realize that you are just cast aside because you didn't believe what they wanted us to believe, which goes against everything they preach, diversity of thought
Starting point is 01:14:41 and acceptance and inclusion and all of those things, you realize that they were full of it. and people that you looked up to, people that you worked alongside for years and years and years, and what they said about you publicly and privately, certainly never to your face. There is just a real sense of loss for relationships because Gina is as tough as they get. I have realized that I'm tougher than I thought and never wanted to be, but Gina is as tough as they get. And she was hurt. I think that's kind of, and this is not like, oh, well, as me. We never, Gina doesn't want sympathy. This is about what's right. And calling these companies out.
Starting point is 01:15:23 And that's the other thing we bonded on is calling these companies out, the biggest companies in the world, because if we don't and expose it because we have the ability based on platforms that we, you know, it's blessings I've had these platforms, right? If we don't use them to expose and therefore hopefully maybe fingers cross prevent other companies from doing the same BS to, to, to, to these people, to women, men anywhere, doesn't matter. Black, white, green, blue, LGBT, I don't care. Just treat us equally and not punishing us if we don't agree with what you say. Because by the way, you're going to say this today and that tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Who can keep up? Right. Diversity of thought, First Amendment. And so we bonded over so much. And I just, I admire her and her courage to continue this because she completely threw her career away as well, as people said I did. but look, she's standing up for what's right. And Glenn, I told you when we were together last month doing your show in Texas, the harder right versus the easier wrong.
Starting point is 01:16:26 Gina is doing the harder right. And that takes courage. I'm so honored to know her. You know, and I tell you, it doesn't, I think you grow from this. You're seeing new success. She's seeing new success. And you have become bigger than what you were in many ways because you're now a human success story. You now have experienced strife and trouble and come out the other side and realizing,
Starting point is 01:16:53 I didn't hurt so much. I mean, it hurt, but it didn't hurt like I thought I was going to hurt. I thought I was going to burn myself up. And I didn't. And so you become this, this additional success story that I think, you know, you look at the, what's the woman who's now playing Snow White? Whatever her name is. Yeah. So, you know, they're not firing her, which, A, must drive you nuts. They're not firing her. And she tubed the crown jewel. I mean, next to Mickey Mouse, it is Snow White.
Starting point is 01:17:29 That's the movie that built that company. And for her to go in and destroy the story of Snow White, all of that money, because you guys weren't bleeding money on you and your point of view. or her point of view. Absolutely not. Right? Absolutely not. I mean, you figure, no matter who's in office, about half the country agrees with you, right?
Starting point is 01:17:55 Which means either half disagrees. It's usually right down the middle. And they could have gotten out of that mess with Rachel, I think, over a year ago when she first started to mouth off and maybe too much had been invested. If nothing else, why don't you at least have a chat? Okay, fine, don't fire her like you did us. And I didn't get fired. I mean, we settled my lawsuit and I chose to leave.
Starting point is 01:18:13 Gina was fired, though. Rachel was allowed to say much worse than I think Gina ever said, and I don't know who could disagree with that. And you could show the direct damages. You could show the damages. Look at the numbers. Exactly. And they chose to stick with her.
Starting point is 01:18:28 And now look. So you reap which is so for sure. But the double standard is the reason what must be called out. And they could have at least pulled Rachel aside and said, we need you to camp down a little bit. This isn't good for business. Maybe they didn't. She didn't listen.
Starting point is 01:18:43 If so, okay. That's a whole other story. But to your point about what you gain when you do stand up, you realize it's just a lot bigger than you. Yeah. And when people come up to Gina and come up to me, and I've had fathers come up to me because they've been afraid to stand up for their daughters in sports
Starting point is 01:19:03 and why are boys competing against their daughter because they're afraid to go to the school board meeting and get fired. The fear is real. Like, we know that. So I am so grateful to stand up, and I know Gina is, because the people that you are affecting just by doing that, standing up in her case,
Starting point is 01:19:21 for true freedom of speech, it is everything that's so much bigger than any career I could have dreamt of having. And same with her. Disney is getting their comeuppance, and they need to. And they seem to, it's through this to themselves. And that is why so many people were more than okay
Starting point is 01:19:39 to see what's happening with the snow white debacle. Shame on them. I can change subject here for a second. Stu, I'm doing something with the Diesel Brothers here in a couple of months, and I'm taking one of my, my 1934 race car out, and we're just going to open it up on a track and two other cars.
Starting point is 01:20:01 And you were leaving my studio and you were going to the airport, and you were like, I'll get an Uber, and I'm like, no, no, I'll take you to the airport. I'm going that way. So I take you to the airport. And you are the biggest car hound. I mean, I'd be broke if I were married to you because we would, you'd let me buy all the cars.
Starting point is 01:20:20 My wife is like, stop it. Stop. I'd be like, what are we buying this weekend, Dave? I know. Listen, the one thing I regret, the biggest regret I have in life right now is that I didn't ask you for a selfie that day. When Glenn Beck drove me to the airport and what kind of car was that? It was a continental GTC. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:20:44 And it was four screen and it was stunning and the top was down and my wild hair was bigger than ever. And I'm like, no one's going to believe this, but I didn't want to be tacky and ask you for a selfie. I want to make sure that you're going to come out when we do the Diesel Brothers thing. Stu is going to be there. I'm going to be there. And I'd love to have you and you drive one of the cars. Okay. Is everybody listening?
Starting point is 01:21:08 Glenn said you drive one of the car. Well, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, before I say that, how are you doing on accidents? Do you have many accidents? But I can, give me that stick shift, let's go. No, no accidents. Not something, but I do have a little bit of a lead foot. But I mean, what a waste.
Starting point is 01:21:24 Yeah, I know. If you don't take those cars and open them up. Do you like electric engines? Not even an engine. I've driven it like twice. I don't know. Listen, I appreciate how you barely tap it and then it's like whiplash and your lawn. Like, I appreciate that.
Starting point is 01:21:40 But I guess I'm old school. Give me that clutch. I know. Let me do it. I know. That's the real strength and power. You know, come on. Sage, great talk to you. We'll talk again. Thanks for joining us. Thank you, Glenn. Thank you. Take care.
Starting point is 01:21:53 Sage Steel, host of the Sage Steel show. You can get that wherever you get your podcast and at sagesteel.com. All right. Let me tell you about Rough Green's dogs are really interesting creatures. One day, they're lying around just like they've been retired. And the next day, you're zooming around the house like they're, you know, you're chasing a cruise missile. made out of fur. Last night, Tanya and I made the decision
Starting point is 01:22:19 that we were going to put Uno down this weekend. And I had to call my son and say, you've got to come home. And it's so hard. People that don't have dogs, you just don't understand. Because they are always there. They're like children,
Starting point is 01:22:40 except without all the bad stuff. I mean, you know, my kids could crap in the front room. And if that's the worst thing they ever did, you know, then maybe I wouldn't have to have a dog. You know, because they do worse things than that. And your dog never, you never have to go, you know, the principal's never calling and saying, you know what your son did today? You know what your daughter did today? Anyway, I want to thank Rough Greens for giving, you know, more years. I have no way to prove this,
Starting point is 01:23:14 but I really truly believe the best years of his life were when we were feeding him Rough Greens. And we're still feeding him a rough greens now, but he has, he slowed down, but he was like a puppy again

Starting point is 01:29:41 that came out I think last week before fight inside the wildest battle for the White House we have one of
Starting point is 01:29:47 the authors of that book and I've got a few questions on it the stories that were happening behind the scenes at
Starting point is 01:29:53 the White House we all knew we're happening except everybody denied it. Now, we know it did happen. What a surprise. It seems so very familiar. One of the authors, the co-author, Amy Parnes, is with us now. She's a Hill Senior Political Correspondent. She's going to talk to us a little bit about fight inside the wildest battle for the White House in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust.com.
Starting point is 01:30:19 If you are looking to buy or sell a house, you know, because you have to, maybe you want to, you're just going to move across town, move into a better school district, whatever it is. Or you have to sell your house because your company's transferring you. You have to move to another part of the country. Whether you're moving across the street or across the country, we will help you find the best real estate agent in those areas to be able to help you do it. It's a real hassle. And, you know, the worst thing about real estate agents is they don't, you never know who they are.
Starting point is 01:30:52 If they're really listening to you, if they understand what you, you're saying. And especially, you know, you walk into a house and they're like, this is definitely not the master bedroom. You're like, oh, can we stop? Just help me buy a great house. It's real estate agents.itrust.com. That's real estate agents.itrust.com.
Starting point is 01:31:15 Go there now. All right. Amy's with us. Amy Parnes, Hill Senior Political Correspondent, author of Fight Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House. Amy, how are you? Hi, Glenn. Good. Thanks for having me.
Starting point is 01:31:28 You bet. So, you know, can we play the, can we play just that little collage of all the people that said this wasn't happening? Do we have that? Can we play that real quick? Joe Biden has vision. He has knowledge. He has a strategic thinker. This is a very sharp president.
Starting point is 01:31:48 In terms of his public presentation, if he makes a slip of the tongue here or there, what's the deal? You're asking me, my personal opinion, he is sharp. He is on top of things. When we have meetings with him, with his staff, he's constantly pushing us, trying to get more information. I can tell you, this was the day before that interview. I can tell you he was sharper than anyone I've spoken to about a very comp. This was happening all the time, Amy. Everyone was saying how sharp he is. That is, that was, according to your book, just absolutely not true. And everybody in the White House knew that. How, go ahead. Yeah, no, it was, it's something that we really dug into in reporting out this book. And we had questions about what interactions certain people had with the president. We, we detail how Eric Swalwell, a congressman from California, for example, attended a congressional picnic with the president a year before the debate, debacle, a disaster.
Starting point is 01:32:50 and he had to almost remind then President Biden who he was. And this was someone who he competed against in the 2020 presidential election. He should know who he is. And there's detail after detail about that in this book. You know, in your book you talk about how there were bets being paid, how they were looking, you know, shopping for judges on who was going to swear her in. They thought he was going to die before the election. I mean, did you get the sense from anyone while you're researching this book that anyone thought maybe this isn't really good for the Constitution?
Starting point is 01:33:30 I mean, that's why right now you're seeing a lot of errors thrown in the direction, excuse me, of the former president and his aides. People are really, really upset about they think it's a cover up. They think that, you know, they should have been more candid even within their own party about the president. the president's cognitive abilities. And, you know, Glenn, I covered the president for a long time. And I tried to get after the story and the White House was constantly, I know my colleagues were as well. It's not like any of us were asleep at the switch, but the White House would batter us
Starting point is 01:34:07 when we asked questions about his mental acuity and his age. It was a constant, constant battle. But was there anybody that knew that should have spoken? out, I mean, in the press or anything? I mean, it's one thing to, it's one thing to speculate. It's one thing to, I hear rumors, but, and if you're, you're shut off from it.
Starting point is 01:34:29 But, you know, in the White House, it seems like there were quite a few people that knew this is a disaster. Yeah. Hey, who's running the country at that point? Who was the president? This close set of advisors kept him really close. And that's why I think you didn't see him as much. Right now, President Trump is out there talking to reporters every day.
Starting point is 01:34:53 I think the press corps wanted to see Biden do some similar things and take a similar media approach. And he did not. And we detail in the book, you know, there's a fundraiser where someone, you know, says that he looks like he's going to die at the fundraiser. There are other moments where, you know, we take you inside film. Murphy's house and we detail how he's speaking to just a couple of a couple dozen fundraisers at a small house and he needs fluorescent tape on the floor to guide him from place to place. He needs a teleprompter. You know, these aren't common things for a small of At a house. At a house? Yes. And, you know, makeup when he, this is, this was another revelation in
Starting point is 01:35:44 our book, whenever he traveled overseas, he was met with a makeup artist. That was his first order of business. Sometimes he missed meetings because the makeup artist was there to touch him up. They were clearly concerned about the optics around his age and around his mental expecies. You write at one point that the makeup artist, he goes in, he sits down for the makeup, and then he calls it a day. And that was it. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, these are aids that were talking to us about this. Obviously, they knew about it. And they said at times he looked really frazzled. He would get out of the limousine and, you know, would look around and would, wouldn't know where he was. And so, yeah, it was, it's very startling even to the people who
Starting point is 01:36:28 were telling us these stories. But, you know, it's one thing to be, it's one thing to go, yeah, that was really weird. And I, because it's another to realize that is the man that has to make the decision, you know, for the country, God forbid, we're attacked or whatever. And he's not there. There was, was there anyone inside fighting and saying, we have got to alert the American people? We have to invoke the 25th Amendment. It's 25th, isn't it? Sue? Yeah. Yeah. We've got to invoke the 25th Amendment. This isn't right. The people have put their power in this man. He is no longer capable of making these decisions. I think a lot of people would have had respect for that. Instead, I walk away going, was there no one that cared about the Constitution and cared about what could have
Starting point is 01:37:26 happened with this guy in charge? No, and I think that's why you're seeing so much fire aimed at his close set of advisors right now because they could have been more candid. And, you know, Democrats in general, I think we're confused as to his cognitive abilities. I think the reason he wanted to do this debate and his advisors wanted to do this debate earlier, the one, this disastrous one in June last year, it's because they wanted, they knew that he was losing the polls, obviously. They wanted to change the trajectory of this race, and they thought that that was a moment that could help him. Instead, it brought out, you know, it should display everything for the American public. So I honestly thought for the longest time that they did that knowing somebody was like, no, let's put him on the stage and let's do it now before, you know, things get completely out of hand and he's going to be running for re-election.
Starting point is 01:38:26 I really thought they put him on stage that early because I've never seen that happen before in American politics. Put him on stage that early. So he would be exposed and everybody would be like, okay, we can't run him. No, and what's fascinating, Glenn, is that we take you inside. I mean, we open the book inside Nancy Pelosi's living room, and she's watching the debate alone. She had warned President Biden at the time. She said, oh, you don't want a debate Trump, and she, you know, mentioned it under the guise of, oh, why would you belittle yourself and appear on stage with him?
Starting point is 01:38:58 But she knows, and Jim Clyburn, who's also watching the debate alone in his living room, and we take you inside there, he's having a drink and watching it. They're all alone. They're not at some debate watch party together because they almost know what is about to happen. They're watching the train rack unfold bit by bit and alone. So what do we do to ensure this? Let me ask you before I ask you that again, try. Again, who was running the country?
Starting point is 01:39:31 That's a very good question. I think, you know, his obviously his close set of advisors had a great big role in that. You see Ron Claim these days sort of trying to distance himself. He was the former chief of staff trying to distance himself from the optics of what was happening. But it's not, but it's really not optics. It is the truth. Somebody was making decisions because the president could, you know, I was always fascinated in history by Woodrow Wilson. Edith Wilson ran the White House for a while, but it was his own party that came in because it was the same.
Starting point is 01:40:09 think people like rumors and they're like I don't think he's really there uh and he wasn't seen for a long time and so the leadership of the party came finally forced the first lady uh and said because she was saying he's going to run for a third term and they said no no or we'll expose all of this right now he's not running for another term um uh you know but it seems to be the same thing i'm wondering how many presidents have we had that you know nobody seems to really care that the elected official isn't actually doing what that official is supposed to do. There are just some unelected people just making the decisions. Yeah, and the fact of the matter is, Glenn, I mean, you see the former president has all but
Starting point is 01:40:54 disappeared from public view since leaving office, and I think that also speaks volumes about his state of mind. Was Kamala that in the note, which, I mean, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, God forbid something would have happened. Yeah. Who would have grabbed the football? Who would have been the one? It would have been Kamala Harris, and that's sort of why, I mean, you teased this earlier,
Starting point is 01:41:19 but her communications director would carry around this spreadsheet of Republican judges because he felt almost that, like, she had to be validated in that moment, and only a Republican judge could really swear her in and have that validation from Republicans. He thought that there was no way that such a divisive country, you know, and people would support her. And so we detail how he came into that role with the spreadsheet. He traveled with it. The DNC had plans in case something happened to the president. And we expose all of this for the first time in this book.
Starting point is 01:42:01 Can you find any? Because I'm a self-taught, you know, historian, but I'm pretty good at it. I've never seen anything like this in American history, have you? It's pretty remarkable. It's really unprecedented. And it was really interesting to report out. You know, I think people have questions about the media and how we went about reporting this. And it's almost like the president needed to leave office for people to actually admit what was happening and tell us stories. That's what's interesting.
Starting point is 01:42:34 I think, you know, when you cover a president, they're always worried that the White House is going to come down hard on them. And so they're less prone to want to tell you things. And then when they leave office, this is when the floodgates open up. Is anybody going to be held accountable for this? I mean, I think right now the party, that's why you're seeing the Democratic Party scrambling. I think, first of all, they need to come out and admit what had happened here and almost look themselves in the mirror and talk about Joe Biden. The other day, Jake Tapper, asked Tim Walz about it and Tim Walz kind of just, you know, dances around the question. I think they need to be very frank about what was happening and what they were witnessing and
Starting point is 01:43:18 they don't want to do that right now. You know, it's interesting to me. I just told this story on the air because people are kicking around Donald Trump wants to run for a third term. No, no, that's against the Constitution and that that was put there for a very clear reason. And it wasn't put in there by the Republicans. It was put in by the Democrats, FDR's own party when they saw what had happened to the presidency. It just gained far too much power. And it's not good for anybody when that happens. And, you know, here you have, as soon as FDR died, that's when all of the Democrats were like, okay, okay, we got to make sure that doesn't happen again. But they were for him when he was alive. Right. It seems to be kind of the same thing here that everybody was like, okay.
Starting point is 01:44:04 it's cool, but is anybody going to step up now and say this cannot happen ever again? I think that's what has to happen, Glenn. Someone has to take responsibility for it. And no one is. And I'm curious to see how the Democrats reckon with this. Amy, thank you very much. I'm glad somebody finally told the story and got the story. It's, it is, if we don't fix this, it's just going to happen again. And it'll happen with the other party. I mean, it just, it will. I mean, you give people in power an inch, they are going to take a mile and this cannot happen. This just cannot happen again. Amy, thank you so much. Thank you, Glenn. You bet. Amy Parns fight inside the wildest battle for the White House.
Starting point is 01:44:52 All right. Let me talk to you a little bit about Simply Safe. When it comes to protecting your home seconds matter. Break-ins, don't start with loud alarms. They start with a window left unlocked, back door, eased open while you're at work. Somebody lingering in, just, just a little too long outside of your house. And by the time you realize something's wrong, it could already be too late. Simply Safe is designed to catch those moments before they become an emergency. Their state-of-the-art system gives you the eyes on every door, every window, inside now, motion sensors, cameras, glass break detectors.
Starting point is 01:45:25 All of these things are backed by a 24-7 professional monitoring from a U.S.-based team that can act fast in a crisis, alerting the police and even talking to the criminal. You know, police don't respond in most cities now to burglar alarms because they go off all the time. You actually have to call them and say, no, I'm the homeowner. I'm whoever and it is happening. That's why having SimplySafe is so important because they're monitoring it. And if an alarm goes off, they can see if it's right and they call police. So police will actually come.

Simplysafe.com slash Beck. There is no safe like SimplySafe. 10 seconds. Station ID. What'd you think of that? Stu? I thought it was very interesting. I'm on the record multiple times saying I think this is a massive scandal and I think Republicans have not paid enough attention to it since the Trump administration started. I know they're doing a lot of stuff. I know they're really busy. But there should be a house committee going after this for accountability reasons.
Starting point is 01:46:48 So exactly what you said doesn't happen again. You want that to happen? Do you want if Donald Trump, God forbid, you know, had a stroke or whatever. That's what happened to Woodrow Wilson. Had a stroke. Would you want that to happen and you not know about it and just, you know, the people around him were running the White House? Because, yeah, you trust him.
Starting point is 01:47:06 No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. the person we elect must be the person in charge. And if they can't handle it, that's what the 25th Amendment is for. You go and we didn't have this for a long time. And it was after Kennedy, wasn't it? Or was it FDR? I think it was Kennedy.
Starting point is 01:47:30 If something happens, the vice president has the responsibility to step up. I mean, the one that should be really held responsible is Kamala Harris. she knew she should have gone to the cabinet because it's the vice president only that can make this call the vice president has to go to the cabinet or the cabinet comes to the vice president and says mr or mrs vice president this is what's happening or she goes and says cabinet members the president is clearly not present uh and it can't last i ask that you would invoke the 25th amendment Yeah, and that's the constitutional remedy. Right.
Starting point is 01:48:12 I think it's the appropriate one. And it's important that the other party can't invoke the 25th Amendment. Only the vice president and the cabinet. The cabinet. But if they're all in for power and they're not there to protect the constitution, if they're like, I don't care how we get the power. If they don't care. Yeah, interestingly, though, this would have empowered the cabinet. And empowered Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 01:48:38 I think even short of that, which is an extreme measure, it's never been, you know, successfully done. It's never been invoked. I don't think ever. That's what I mean. It's never been, you know, never, no one's ever gotten to the point where they successfully got it over the finish line. Though it's been talked about many times. Just going to the media. Right. Like, there was talking about it publicly. Not only that they tried to get him reelected until he got in front of the American people. The American people are like, whoa, what is going on? This is really happening. This isn't just some, you know, a Glenn Beck fever dream that this guy, no, it wasn't. As soon as they saw it, the whole thing changed.
Starting point is 01:49:18 But that could have happened so much earlier. And frankly, it would have helped the Democrats if it did. If in 2022, this happened and Kamala Harris came to the media and said, you know, look, you know, this league, it would have gone in multiple levels of leaks before this point. But Kamala Harris goes to the media and says, look, Joe Biden's a great man. He's doing great things. He's doing everything he can.
Starting point is 01:49:38 but, you know, unfortunately, you know, age always wins. And, you know, we were in a difficult situation. It's time for him to step down. He would do it. She would have been president for a couple of years and may have won re-election. May have one. Who knows? I mean, it was pathetic at every single level,
Starting point is 01:49:56 but it was also misleading the American people in a way that is absolutely unconstitutional and wrong. We need to have a remedy for it. Can't use misleading. That's a harsh, terrible lives. Glenn. Beck. Must be present in certain states. Visit prize picks.com for restrictions and details.

Starting point is 01:52:03 He was just fabulous. Was it Dr. Nick from The Simpsons? I think it was. I think it was. I'm starting to wonder. Kevin O'Connor, they are now saying that he is going to be grilled by the Republicans who are now, you know, investigating the cognitive decline. Ronnie Jackson from Texas said he's absolutely positively will be implicated in the cover up of all of this.
Starting point is 01:52:29 He's a massive, massive part. Remember, it was right after the debate, right after the resignation that he was like, no, he's good. He's all good. Remember when they had the guy from, what was he was a, that wasn't an Alzheimer's guy. He was a, I remember this controversy. Parkinson's. Yeah, it was someone who visited. And they were like, no, he was just, he was upstairs.
Starting point is 01:52:57 He's actually, he's a fuller brush salesman. Yeah, why? And they were like, no, he's not being Parkinson's. What are you talking about? Yeah, he's going to be called in as well. I do think that it's interesting. The type of accountability and massive scandal we're talking about here, a big part of that process are journalists actually doing their job.
Starting point is 01:53:27 Amy Parns, one of them, actually doing her job. We hope. I think I give, I'm going to give her pass, you know, and I appreciate coming out with it now. And I give them pass. I give everybody a pass because I don't know who knew what. Right, right. There were those that were close enough that had to have known. and why they didn't say anything is most likely because they would have been ostracized in a pariah and they probably would have lost their job and everything else.
Starting point is 01:53:59 But there are things worth standing up for. I think though she kind of. I'm not accusing her of being one of the time. Totally. I totally. I know you're not. I think, you know, she outlined, I think, the issue with that at the time for some people is that nobody wants to talk when you're still in power and you are, you know, a lot of CYA going on too with these people. it's important to understand.
Starting point is 01:54:20 I tried to get this out of her, and I don't think she really understood the question, or maybe we just look at it from such different things. Sure. Is there no honor? Was there not one person? In the Biden White House? In the Biden? No, come on.
Starting point is 01:54:35 I mean, not one person that said, this is not right. I mean, very few. Would you work for Joe Biden? No, I wouldn't. But I mean, then how do you, then how do Democrats? I mean, right? However you're going to finish that sentence, you know the answer to it.
Starting point is 01:54:55 Right. Yeah, they can't. They can't. I do think, though, you're right. There probably were some people. And look, we did get some stuff that leaked out. It was just not frequent enough. And we complained at the time that, hey, where were these stories at the time?
Starting point is 01:55:09 They did a lot. I mean, think about this, Glenn. They didn't meet with anyone in the house for years. just that should have come out a lot earlier than it did. Woodrow Wilson didn't meet with anybody from the House for like nine months. Yeah. And the House went nuts. The Democrats went crazy.
Starting point is 01:55:29 What's going on? Yeah. And I do think that that is the type of stuff. I don't know that we could have had all the detail it's going to be in this book or some of the others that are coming out because there's several that are coming out and addressing this. And I think what I'm trying to say mostly is I think these books are important efforts. even if they're not perfect, even if it's more delayed than we want when it comes to accountability.
Starting point is 01:55:52 It doesn't protect us for what happened to us during the Biden presidency. But it has to be repaired. We have to get it repaired. You know, I feel the same way about, you know, COVID. The fact that we don't have laws that say, clear as day, even during a pandemic,
Starting point is 01:56:13 when everyone's panicking, you don't close churches. Right? Like, just like, how is this not been? It's called the Constitution. Right, it is. But I'm saying an extra clarifying measure. All of those things that we all now kind of say,
Starting point is 01:56:31 God, that was nuts. Those things need to be codified and they haven't been. Right. And I don't think, and nobody's paid a price. Who has paid a price for the millions of people? You know, it kills me. I mean, you'd argue, you know, there's a political price that was paid in the 2024 election. Yeah, that's nothing.
Starting point is 01:56:49 That is nothing compared to millions of people died. Millions of people died. Millions of people lost their jobs, their livelihoods, lost their children, lost their grandparents or their parents without being able to say goodbye. I mean, the list of those injured is non-ended. And I almost feel like it's so big people to want to deal with. it, which I get at some level from a human perspective, but that's why you have a justice system, right? That doesn't care about the human perspective, right? It punishes people not based on anger or fear, but based on facts. That's how it's supposed to work. And these things, you know,
Starting point is 01:57:30 there's been some efforts on the COVID thing, you know, mostly unsuccessful. There have been some of those books written that really go through all of this. But, you know, I don't think we, COVID was obvious, I think, people disagreed about what the punishment should be, who was responsible, but I think everyone knew something went very wrong there. I feel like we're not. I'm not sure people still, that everybody,
Starting point is 01:57:54 I bet you a lot of people in California, they don't think anything about. They went wonderfully. They went swimmingly. Yeah, I don't think they. They complained about the first few months under Trump and then nothing after that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:05 I mean, I look, there's still people walking around every once in a while. I see one in a mask and I'm like, gosh, this is still happening to a lot of people. I want to stop them and say get help. Yeah. I mean, sincerely, not in a, yeah, just please get help. They're, there, you, you, you are living in a fantasy world right now. And, you know, if you have a compromised immune system or whatever, or you're just Chinese,
Starting point is 01:58:29 or is it Japanese that always wear the masks, or Michael Jackson, you know, well, he should get help to. But anyway, get help. This is a serious mental issue. If you can't at this point go and look at the facts. But is anybody really talking about them? I mean, you know, there's no big breakthrough. Here's another story. It's from the Daily Color.
Starting point is 01:58:54 Hunter Biden asked Embassy for help with Burisma's difficulties while Joe Biden was vice president. They've unearthed letters. Oh, they unearthed them, did they? They were probably sitting on somebody's desk when the Trump administration came in, probably framed on a wall going, look what I got. They didn't unearth them. We've known this stuff.
Starting point is 01:59:17 And now it's coming out and all of it comes out in dribs and drabs and nobody cares. Look at the precedent that just this last administration just set. You could take money for your family, millions from enemies of our country, enemies, and get away with it. You can do a massive cover-up. You can throw people under the bus like crazy.
Starting point is 01:59:45 Let them go to jail for things that are absolutely your fault. You can lie about somebody's health and it's the president of the United States. You can do that apparently and not pay any price. Look at what we've set up, the precedent. If these things are not corrected, that's why, you know, I'm going to Washington in a couple of weeks to do the 100th, 100 days. And I had to narrow it down to a couple of people. And one of them that I really want to talk to is Pam Bondi. I really want to know, Pam, these things have to be corrected.
Starting point is 02:00:28 Where are we? Where are we on these things? This is not revenge. This is make sure it never happens again. You know, it was Woodrow Wilson's own party that said no. FDR, after he was there. It was his own party that said never again. It feels like we've lost that, though.
Starting point is 02:00:49 We have. That instinct is gone. And it has to happen in both parties. I was going to say, I think it's on both sides on that one. There's a lot that I can point out. I think it's on both sides. I don't think that there's a lot of interest anymore in holding your own side accountable. at least at some level. I mean, I think, you know, look, our audience that's hearing complaints about
Starting point is 02:01:08 Republicans every single day. I think generally speaking in the human, the human being, the American people still have that. But the politicians, I don't know where they are on it. Right. And I'm not sure all of the people do because they have, it's been a, I mean, it's practically a CIA op on the American people. The way these parties have fought and the way they have pushed people into, you know, opposite corners, mostly on lies. It's been an op. It puts you into your lizard brain, and then you just can't think straight anymore.
Starting point is 02:01:42 It's fight or flight. And so, you know, they're not able to think anymore. They're just not able to think. Why do you think that this Tesla stuff is going on in the streets? It has very little to do with Elon Musk and really hurting him. It has a lot to do. keep people in their lizard brain. Do not let them get comfortable with this.
Starting point is 02:02:09 Because once you're out of your lizard brain, once you, once you are like, okay, all right, I'm so tired of this, you start to think. And that politicians can't have you thinking. That should tell you an awful lot, shouldn't it? All right, back in just a second. Patriot Mobile, how well do you really know your cell phone company? I mean, you pay them every month, but you have ever checked out, find out what they stand for. It's kind of like cell phone companies are a little like hookers.

Starting point is 02:04:48 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. There's just a delightful story that is coming out of Ohio. A high school teacher is accused of attempting to hire a student to murder her soon-to-be ex-husband. But apparently the mom found out about the murder-for-hire plot because she was snooping through her son's phone. Good for you, Mom. and alerted police. And he was, you know, her son was like saying to the teacher, and somebody going to hear gunfire?
Starting point is 02:05:27 The neighbor's going to hear the gunshots? No, I don't care about the neighbors. Oh, okay. This woman is absolutely insane. She has been terrorizing her own children and her, her soon-to-be ex-husband. She's been charged with first-degree felony, conspiracy to commit murder.
Starting point is 02:05:45 But, you know, she was right there. she still had her teaching. She was able to do teaching. So that's good. Don't know where the unions stand on that, but the Academy for Urban Scholars High School said she's no longer employed. I love this. As soon as we became aware of the situation,
Starting point is 02:06:05 we immediately took action to terminate her employment. Now that's the way it should be answered, right? Oh, we can't comment on ongoing investing. No. Are you kidding me? As soon as we found out, her ass was out on the street. She was nuts. That's the way it should be handled.
Starting point is 02:06:22 Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's just me. You think? Yeah. I like that approach. Can I give you one more clip here before we go? Sure. This is a fun one and she's my favorite.
Starting point is 02:06:33 I have a new favorite in the whole world. Oh, yeah. And her name is Jasmine Crockett. Love her. You know, sure we need to say her full name. Jasmine Crockett for president. Yes. I don't know any year.
Starting point is 02:06:44 I just want her running. I want more of her. Here she is describing the illegal. immigration problem, apparently from the Democratic position. So I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country or the fact that we are a country of immigrants. Right, right. The fact is, ain't none of y'all trying to go and farm right now.
Starting point is 02:07:10 Okay, so I'm lying. Raise your hands. You're not picking cotton. Oh. We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation. Oh, so we're bringing in the immigrants to pick the cotton? So you're arguing on behalf of slavery?
Starting point is 02:07:36 I'm sorry. It's just, this is what I said, what, three weeks ago in a model? I'm like, this is what they're in effect saying. No, now she is actually saying it with her trademark sass. Yes, she's going to sass you. I love it. It's so fake and transparent. I love it.
Starting point is 02:07:56 I cannot get enough of this nonsense with her. It's so good. It is so good. And the idea that Jasmine Crockett would go around the country and educate anyone is so hilarious on its face. I just, why can't we, why can't she be on television all the time talking? I want it all the time. I want her to represent, and she does, every viewpoint. I want her to be the face of the Democratic Party.
Starting point is 02:08:26 I want all of her viewpoints to be the face of the Democratic Party. I want her explaining every policy position they have. She's fantastic. I don't think they're going to have a problem with it. I'm looking for the report today. It's in the show prep at glenbeck.com. Where is the story about the polls of the people that the Democrats are like, yeah, we need this person to be president? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:45 I saw it at the end of one of these prep. I just was looking at one of these prep packets on and I got it for you. Here we go. Here we go. Number one, this is who do we need right now? Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Number one, Kamala Harris, 19%. Oh my God.
Starting point is 02:08:58 Two, Barack Obama, 17. Corey Booker, I guess because he made a speech recently, 14. AOC 8, Sanders 8, Jeffries 8, Schumer 6. Oh my God. Crockett only 3. Come on. That needs to be 80. Corey, Crockett.
Starting point is 02:09:15 That's what we need to work on that. I'm telling you. God, I could not take it. We got to have her. We got to have her. I mean, what a lineup that is. This is Glenn back.
