The Glenn Beck Program - ‘Sub-Optimal’: Biden Caves to China, Allows Spy Balloon to Fly Over Sensitive Nuclear Sites | Guests: Whitney Webb & Bill O’Reilly | 2/3/23

Episode Date: February 3, 2023

There is a suspected Chinese-owned spy balloon flying over American airspace and sensitive military sites, so Glenn and Stu discuss the possible intent as China condescendingly downplays its purpose. Bill O’Reilly joins for his weekly news recap, discussing the feud blooming between President Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis, Hunter Biden’s lawsuit against outlets that utilized his laptop material, and Governor Kathy Hochul’s direct attack on gas stoves. Author of "One Nation Under Blackmail" Whitney Webb joins to discuss the WHO’s newly elected chief scientist and the terrifying moves Big Tech is making in tracking your every move — and even the eye movements of your children.

Not a second of it. Let's start with our sponsor, Rough Greens. If you're a regular listener of the program, you've heard me talk about Rough Greens. It really truly changed my dog's life. Uno was, I mean, he was never a good eater, never. And we used to have to stand there. And at times we would have to hand feed him. I don't know if anybody else has to go through this.

I know I get a lot of mail from people who are like, my dog is finally eating. So I can't be alone. But it is, it's remarkable. Not only will he eat his food now, because we put rough greens on top of it, I think there has been a really dramatic change in his life. and his lifestyle. He's much more active. I think he's, I think he's gotten a new lease on life. I think he,

I think he, um, I just think he probably gained a couple of years. And I don't have any proof of that, obviously, but I really believe. And so does Tanya that this has changed him physically a great deal. Get your first trial bag for free. Just pay for shipping at roughgreens.com slash Beck.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. This is a dynamic program today. You don't want to miss a second of it. We're going to talk to Whitney Webb about the latest in AI and the World Economic Forum. It is truly terrifying stuff. That's coming up at hour number three. We also have Arthur Brooks on to talk about what can we do to help our kids if they're suicidal, depressed, et cetera, et cetera.

What's really happening in America? And this hour, we have Bill O'Reilly giving us the biggest stories of the day. And I also want to talk about that Chinese spy balloon that is over the United States. I mean, I want to live in the mindset of if they're using balloons, you know, I don't think we have a lot to worry about, but unfortunately, that's not the case. What is it that they're really doing up there? We'll get into that beginning in 60 seconds. So nothing lasts forever. And, you know, when you're trying to preserve things, that's a lot. a real problem, especially old things. And old things now mean, you know, something from 2010. That's a 12-year-old car now. And if your car is out of insurance or warranty, I should say,

you're going to be screwed. I'm sitting here in my car barn. And behind me, you can see a 1934 race car. Jay Leno has one very similar restored by the same people. Well, he has a Spitfire engine in it. It doesn't have warranty. I can't imagine. I need a part for a Spitfire because just this is the way it was built for Lamonts, and if something goes wrong,

I know I'm going to hemorrhage money. Okay, that's that car. However, my cars are my trucks that I use on my ranch for every day hauling around. They're 10 years old. I don't want to spend a lot of money on them. I just want them to work and I'll work until the doors fall off. The hood is removed.

All the glass is broken. I still want to drive that damn thing because I want to use every dime get every dime's worth out of it. But now it's the cost to repair a car is so expensive. You've got to have some sort of insurance, if you will, medical insurance for your car. This is where car shield comes in and you can save 20% on your plan. You will always be prepared for the unexpected. You're not going to blow through your budget. Call them now.

800-227-6100. Your car is going to break down. Don't get caught without a warranty. Make sure you have some coverage, 800-227-60-100 or carsheel.com slash back. Well, let me say hello to our executive producer. That is Stu Brighier. Hello, Stu. How are you? Glenn, how are you?

Happy Friday. Oh, my goodness. Happy Friday to you. Now, let me ask you something. If I'm not mistaken, yesterday was Groundhog's Day, right? Yes, yesterday was Groundhog Day. And Groundhog comes out, sees its shadow, and what happens if they see their shadow?

Do you know what happened yesterday with Pucksatani Phil? No, you didn't know. Okay, neither do I. I don't really care. But I do want to ask, because I know it's like six more weeks. of winter, if it sees its shadow or it doesn't see its shadow. I don't remember. But what does it mean if they're waiting for the groundhog to come out and then they go in

because the groundhog's not coming out and they find Fred the groundhog dead? This is what happened in Montreal, or I'm sorry, Quebec. yesterday. If Fred had seen his shadow, you know, that means six more weeks of winter. If he didn't, you know,

the opposite. But if he's dead, that doesn't seem like a good sign. Maybe it's, maybe it's just me. Endless winter for all of us. For, maybe nuclear,

nuclear winter. I'm not sure, but yes. By the way, an update yesterday, We had the 1792 Exchange.com president on Paul Fitzpatrick. And it is a, it's a website that can help you figure out which banks, which companies are full in ESG and which are not. We had them on the air.

At first, their websites were crashed because of the volume. Usually that happens on this program. then they were attacked by a denial of service campaign right after being on the show, which is odd. So they have it back up now, but it's amazing what people are willing to do just to keep information about you keeping your money and keeping your family safe. It's amazing how well-coordinated this effort is. Let me talk to you about the spy balloon. Stu, what do you know about the spy balloon? Well, apparently a spy balloon flying from a product of China,

flying over our Western United States. Yeah. It's over Wyoming now. Yeah. Wyoming now. Yeah. So I did have the question of when we have satellites and TikTok, why would you need a balloon? I don't know.

It does seem to be a little old timey, you know. And at first when I heard that, I thought they're down to hot air balloons. That's good. You know, that's good. But it's not good. And here's why. And I'm not hearing anybody talk about this. First of all, the balloon's current path, it carries, it carries this balloon over a number of sensitive military sites.

okay um and they also say the united states says they don't want to shoot it out of the sky because of falling debris really we don't have anything that would just obliterate that thing in the sky really hmm um so anyway it was over canada and then it flies into the united states and it's flying over uh sensitive military nuclear sites and the chinese foreign ministry uh said you know relax america Now, I don't know about you, but I'm, China should be happy that we don't have a female for president because females don't really like it when males say, okay, sweetheart, relax. And I think that's kind of what China just said to us in a very condescending tone. Oh, please, relax. It's just a spy balloon.

What are we going to get? Well, here's the one thing that, one thing that I, that I wanted to check when I saw this, the balloon, they think is in an altitude between 80 and 120,000 feet. Now, I am not saying this is what it is, but I am saying, if we don't shoot it down and make sure that our own airspace remains sacred, we're out of our minds. Can you imagine Russia if we had a spy balloon and we told Russia or China? Ah, relax. The balloon is in an altitude, they believe, between 80 and 120,000 feet.

The minimum altitude for an airborne EMP is 94 or 95,000 feet. So that's right in that range. I just want to throw that out there. think it's an EMP. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not an EMP. However, if they can fly things over our country and we do nothing about it and they're flying them over our nuclear sites, I think that's a problem. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm not really relaxed about it. How about you? Hmm? Sounds like a big problem. And, you know, certainly I think They will learn that they can do this if they want to do it.

Yes, absolutely. That's what they're gathering from this. That's the intelligence that they're gathering. I really believe they are gathering the intelligence of, will America even respond? I don't think they will. No, of course they will. No, I don't think they will.

Let's fly it over. Fly it into U.S. airspace and let's fly it over their really sensitive military sites and see if they say a word. No. That's the intelligence they're gathering. That's all we do, though, is we said a word. And they're talking about how this is going to make a very uncomfortable meeting when I guess Blinken meets with them. Oh, very uncomfortable. We might send them a sternly worded letter.

Why not blow it out of the sky? Sincerely, why not blow it out of the sky? I'm just saying. If it's a balloon, I'm not so worried about shrapnel coming down. Are you? I mean... Well, I mean, looking at it, though, I mean, the pictures that seemingly are of this balloon, it doesn't look like a balloon, like how you think of a balloon.

It looks like there's a decent amount of equipment on it. I don't know. How would you describe this picture? I mean, it looks almost like a... It looks almost like a satellite. Almost like Sputnik. Yeah, so it looks kind of like a satellite. I wonder what equipment?

it might be on it. And honestly, there is nothing that a balloon can gather that I am aware of, and I talked to some expert about this. There's nothing that I'm aware of that they need a balloon for, that they can't gather just via satellite. They can watch us on satellite. We got that technology. So why launch a balloon? The only answer I and others can come up with that I've talked to is they're just testing whether or not they can invade our airspace and we do anything. Now, why would they want to know that? It's just not good. It's not good.

Just saying, I just leave it at that. Your summary of the spy balloon. Do we get a headline out of that? Is that a click-baitie headline that we can get? Sub, um, uh, China flying mysterious balloons with equipment on it over sensitive U.S. air, uh, U.S. sites. Suboptimal. Yeah. Suboptimal. I'm just saying. Suboptimal. Suboptimal. Yeah. Yeah. Emphasis on the sub. Yeah. Yeah. Which they can launch a lot of things. Anyway, um, there is a, uh, new poll out. And it's a record setting poll. And I think this is exciting.

Only about a third, 36% of Americans say they are satisfied now with a set of policy issues spanning all aspects of government. Among the lowest rated issues was the state of the economy, which our president said is fixed, right? I mean, it's booming. Strong as hell, Glenn. Strong as hell. No joke, people. I'm not joking. I'm telling you the truth.

I'm shooting straight. It's strong as hell. A quarter of Americans say, yeah, I'm satisfied with it. It had the largest year-over-year decline dropping eight percentage points. Satisfaction with gun laws also dropped sharply this year to a record low of 34%. Now, this one I'd like you to look into, Stu, I'd like to know, is that like, yeah, our gun laws aren't strong enough. You know, we've got to be more like California, which, well, don't think about the stats on that one too much because we already have the toughest gun laws in California.

But that's because of other states that we're having all these problems. Uh-huh. So the satisfaction of gun laws dropped sharply to a record low. Policies on abortion, efforts to control crime, quality of public education, and efforts to combat poverty and homelessness also remained at near all-time low points. So we're not in a good mood. Now, they say there are things we can build on. Sure, there's a rise of polarization and a decline in national harmony. You know, we've always had a baseline where, you know, people were generally content with America. And now people are not. I wonder what could have changed that.

So the perception of overall quality of life in the U.S. has dropped to a record low this year, as did perceptions of wealth inequality. Less than a quarter of adults now say that they are satisfied the way income and wealth is distributed in the U.S. Less than a quarter of adults. So does that mean only a quarter of us believe in the free market? Is it that high? Is it that? I mean, think about it. You are constantly beaten over the head with how much this country sucks, how terrible it's been, how everything it does is wrong, how every police officer is out to kill minorities, how, you know, I mean, it's on and on and on, how every rich person's trying to kill poor people for profit, every company's out to get you.

you think about how that has to wash over a population over multiple decades. And what other ending can you come to? Only if people are hard for in their principles. Yeah, they absolutely know that. And then, you know, just when you think things are, you know, horrible, the Groundhog dies on Groundhog Day. That's not, it's suboptimal. I'm going to leave it at that.

All right. Our sponsor this hour is Relief Factor. Isn't it time you start doing things? things you love again. You know, painting is so weird. I'm always uncomfortable saying I'm an artist, but I'm an artist and been painting. And the last month, oh my gosh, my painting is horrible. It's like I lost all of my skill. I don't know if this is normal. I don't know. But it's like I lost every skill I had and I've gone back to like stick figures. And then I've been painting the last couple of days because we've been iced into our houses. I've been painting and all of a sudden

it's like back and I'm like, what the hell is happening? Anyway, that's off topic. I don't really know. Oh, because I was going to talk to you about pain. I didn't, I was not able to pick up a paint brush. My hands would cramp so badly that I wasn't able to paint for a long time. And it's a passion of mine. I love writing letters. I love writing in notebooks, you know, and I couldn't do it. I couldn't hold a pen. I got my life back with relief factor. Please, I didn't think it would work for me, but it does. So just try the three-week quick start. It's 1995. It's a trial pack. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief factor and about 70% of them go on to order more. Let me just play the role of my wife because I was like,

it's not going to work for me. And she was like, Fine, then I'm not going to listen to you worrying about your pain if you won't try absolutely everything. So you're going to hear that voice. If you decide, I want to blow through this, it won't work for me.

Fine. You go ahead, but I'm not going to listen to you. Just remember that. Call them, 800 for relief, 800, the number four relief or relief factor.

dot com. 10 seconds station ID. So the World Economic Forum held their annual meeting a couple of weeks ago. They said something that caught my attention. Maybe it should catch yours as well. The public-private partners at the World Economic Forum believe a catastrophic cyber attack is really probable and likely in the next 24 months. Strangely specific. But all the cyber war games that are happening with the

Bank of England and the IMF and NATO all recently. Everybody's conducting one, simulating a global attack on the financial system. Last time I remember global governments and elites being so worried about something was 2019. They were worried about a pandemic and oh my gosh, what a coincidence. It never happens. It will not be like this again. I'll tell you that right now. But they nailed that one and had everything ready to go. So now they're planning. What do we do in case of of a giant cyber attack specifically in the next 24 months. Okay. Well, here's what I'd like to tell you.

Prepare. Yesterday we had somebody on that talked about this, and my wife, I got home. And for the first time, in a long time, my wife is like, okay, we need to take preparations seriously. Tonight at 5 p.m., we are going to show you on our Wednesday night special, but it's airing tonight,

G-E-N-U-C-E-L.com slash back. Make sure you're watching tonight, 5 o'clock, a don't miss. Glenn Beck special tonight, five o'clock. This is the Glenn Beck program. Welcome. Mr. Bill O'Reilly is joining us today at an earlier time. We appreciate his flexibility. A lot happening on today's show. And I really felt it was important to get Bill's take on a couple of things. First of all, your take on what's happen politically with Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump. They have started to kind of fight against each other. Is this the way it's going to be?

And do you think that works out well for either DeSantis or Trump? Well, first of all, Beck, you put me on early because you just want to get it out of the way. I know that. No, I know. Here he is. Let's just get him out of the way. And we'll do the rest of the show. You know, we know.

Oh, yeah, I mean, look, it's becoming fairly clear now that DeSantis is going to launch probably in April or May, a formal campaign. Right. Trump knows that. Trump's campaign style is attack, attack, attack. DeSantis has to reply, but I don't think he's going to reply on the same level. I agree. He'll just, yeah, you know, he'll just counterpunch. and hope that the attacks are so over the top that it drives Republican voters to him.

So, yes, it's going to be a little bit nasty depending on, you know, and Donald Trump's mood that day. Right. I mean, there's no filter there. I know, I know. You know, Donald Trump has problems with the COVID narrative, but I will tell you that he's the only one that has. has any credibility of really almost any president, maybe except for Ronald Reagan in a way,

that has credibility on stopping wars. I mean, it's clear he does not want America tangled into a war. He doesn't want any of these things. Do you think if he won again, he could actually change the course of what's happening now? You know, it's impossible answer that question, but I can give you an educated analysis because I had Mike Pompeo on the nose of been news. which I know you watch every day, right after the blazed, and then Beck turns over the nose of the news. And I said to Pompeo was, look, you were Secretary of State, and did Putin saber-rattle?

I mean, saber-rattling means threatening to do military action. That's what it means. He goes, no. I said, well, do you believe that if Trump had been re-elected that Putin would have invaded Ukraine, and he goes, no. No way. And I go, well, how do you back that up? And he said, because he didn't do anything like that when we were in there,

and he was fairly reasonable in our discussions. And then, interestingly enough, he pivoted to Xi and China and said, where she was not reasonable, all right, he was not. So to answer your question about... I tell you, Trump knows how to play these guys. But we're afraid of them. Yeah, they're afraid of him. He knows how to portray power to these crazy dictators. There's no doubt about that. Yeah. There's no doubt about it. They were afraid of them, particularly Iran.

We're very, very afraid because Trump basically, and I know this to be true, told them all is through Pompeo, you go out and continue, you haven't heard anything about the Civil War with the Houthis. Remember the Houthis? Yemen. Remember that? Yep, yeah. Okay. Well, he basically said to Mow's, look, you continue this destabling the Gulf region, and we're going to bomb all your ports and take out all your ships and all your planes. That's what we're going to do. You're going to have nothing. And then he told the Taliban, you kill one more American.

Yep. All right? One more. Yep. And we're going to come in and just carpet bomb where you are. And they believed him. So he told me that he talked to President Z and said, you know, you do something like that and missiles will fly to Beijing. Yeah, but that's different, though, because she didn't believe that.

Nobody would believe it. Trump wouldn't have done that. But what Trump did do to she was make his life very difficult economically. Yeah. And that was the cudgel there. Okay. Let me switch to what you think the biggest story of the week is. Oh, Beck, thank you. Thank you very much. I've been preparing this all week.

Yeah. This is, what is this Hunter Biden lawsuit? Thank you. This is insane. But I'm not looking at it from an ideology. I mean, the conservatives on television, they're actually taking it seriously. Okay? I don't take this seriously. I know this Abby Loll. but here's the main point on this. Hunter's gone rogue because the White House could never have sanctioned this

ever in a million years. Could they have said, yeah, go ahead, threaten everybody in the world with lawsuits, okay? The White House would never have done that because this brings terrible attention back to Joe Biden. All right? So Lowell is the new lawyer, and number one,

your listeners astute, or they wouldn't be listening to you, Beck, they'd be somewhere else, but they're astute. You've got to know that if a guy like Abby Lowell who's shrewd and he's been around forever does this, that means that action against Hunter Biden is coming soon. So what is happening, Bill, with the FBI going in again this week and searching? I mean, I'm concerned, I can't believe I'm saying this in defense of, well, no, I'm. I'm saying it in defense of the presidency. You do not want a justice department that can just go into a presidential house. It was bad enough when it was a former president.

Now it is the sitting president. Yeah, they gave them permission though, Beck. So this is a show. This isn't anything legal. If it were illegal, they would have searched the Rojobith Beach House two months ago. Right. Okay? You don't let somebody, if you look at the documents, you don't give somebody two months to clear them out.

Right. I mean, it's the same. So all this is a show for the consumer. Oh, now we're going to go over and we're going to look at the whole, but wait a minute, hold it. That should have been done in November. Right. And then they go, and we're going to go to Pence's house too. And, you know, those of us who really understand a big picture know what all this is.

cosmetics for the good due diligence. Yeah, yeah. But let's get back to the Hunter Biden. But just one second. So you assume now that there's going to be an indictment against Hunter Biden. That's what I think this is Abby Lowell thing is all about. It's going to be

a tax beat. He didn't pay his taxes and it only paid him after all of this came out. And that's a federal crime and Hunter's going to have to plea it. And he will. He won't go to trial. He'll plea it out. But in the meantime, to mask that, to mask that big story, because it will be big,

Lowell goes on the offense and says, oh, this is just a fishing expedition. They had to come up with something. And the bigger picture is that my client, Hunter Biden's rights have been violated, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But it's less than two years. We're going to have a new president, and less than a year we're going to have a presidential primary in New Hampshire. So Biden doesn't want to continually have to be defending or even hearing about it's on hunting. And this extends the story to three months now.

So to me, I'm sitting here going, Biden and Susan Rice, who's running the country, by the way, now the claim is gone. She's running the country. I'm sure they had no idea this was coming down. And that's an interesting family dynamic, Beck. Okay, let me ask you one more question on this one is on Kathy Hokel. What is her deal? She just introduced a $227 billion budget. It includes higher payroll taxes plus a cap and trade program on CO2.

So it's going to cost a lot more money. And then on top of that, let me see here. She also wants to cap electric bills at 6% of income for households that replace gas appliances. So the war on gas stoves is real. However, 45% of New York's energy comes from gas. What the hell is she doing? Well, you're going to have new neighbors with New York accents pretty soon down there in Texas, Beck. Yeah, I don't.

I mean, you know, look, Kathy Hockel is a machine politician going all the way back to Tammany Hall. New York has always been a state that's been dominated from Chester Arthur, who I know you know very well, Chester Arthur, on and on and on by the Democratic Party, and now the Democratic Party is more radical left than ever before. And Governor Hockel is not an intellectual genius. She doesn't understand unintended consequences of her action. You can put things in front of her and say, look, you raise taxes again. You're going to lose another two million people to Florida and Texas and Tennessee and the Carolinas. And she goes, well, we don't really need them anyway.

Okay. So it's a disaster here because it's like Illinois and California is what it is. The progressives have hijacked the state, and there are. ruining it and the people who can move are moving. It's amazing. Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much. Bill O'Reilly, you can find him every day in his no-spin news at Bill O'Reilly.com. He's also the author of many killing books. Killing the Killers is the latest one that is out. All of his books, I think, are must-reads. There are 17 million books in the killing series in print now. Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much. We will talk to you again next week.

All right, Beck, thanks. You got it. Bye-bye. All right. Man, there's so much news going on that we're just not even going to get a chance to get to. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's real estate agents. I trust.com.

As I was doing show prep early this morning I was listening to kunk on earth has anybody seen that?

On and off. There you are, Stu. Are you there? Okay. He can't hear me now. So, Kunk on Earth is this really, really exceptionally funny and irreverent mockumentary, starring Diane Morgan. She plays Philomena Kunk.

And it is, it's one of the funniest. series I've seen. I mean, at times, belly laugh out loud. I don't know how she has the courage to do a lot of the stuff she does, but she's doing a history. She's done, you know, kunk on the United Kingdom, kunk on other humans. She's done several of these. And she speaks to experts and these experts have no idea she is you know it's not a real doc it's not a real documentary and you watch these guys and she's just dumb as a box of rocks it is honestly it's like talking to well it's like talking to a you know a high school student in the most progressive city in America. She knows nothing about what is going on. And it's just hysterical if you haven't seen it.

I think it's on Netflix, but BBC has all of them, but Netflix has kunk on earth. All right. Coming up in just a second, we're going to be talking to a good friend of mine who I just think is remarkable. His name is Arthur Brooks. He is then don't hold this against him. He's a Harvard Kennedy School Professor, Harvard Business School Professor. He actually is a columnist for the Atlantic, all things that would make me say, I hate this guy. But he is a free market guy. And he has lived around the world and traveled the world. And he sees what works and what doesn't.

I mean, he spent a lot of time just studying India. and how capitalism has really helped. But he's also fascinated by happiness and what causes happiness. And so I called him a couple of weeks ago, and I said, Arthur, I think Americans are struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, unlike any other time. And the world is going into meaninglessness. can you help bring some light to this and shed some light on what the problem is and

and and what maybe some of the solutions are that we can actually apply in our life. So he's on here in just a in just a few minutes. And then in an hour from now, Whitney Webb is going to be here. She has written the book, One Nation under Blackmail. a journalist and I mean I think one of the best in the country or in the world actually as a

investigative journalist I don't think she likes me all that much but her information is really really well put together and solid and she's going to be on in about 60 minutes. The Glenn Beck Program

if you're just joining us thank you for listening we had a massive power hit at our studio complex the third time in the last couple of months. I don't know what's going on, but we'll get some answers. Welcome Leap is a new program from Welcome, and they have ties to DARPA. And now, I believe, with Welcome Leap,

the ties are even stronger with DARPA. Tell me what's going on. So Welcome Leap was created in 2020, but it didn't really become active until more or less the latter part of 2021. And essentially, they described the vision as a global health DARPA equivalent. So for people that don't know, DARPA is the advanced research or investigative arm of the Pentagon. And they have historically been very involved in financing research related to transhumanist technologies.

And as a former DARPA director describes it, describes it, fixing, the technological mismatch between humans and machines. And, of course, transhumanism was all about merging man and machine. So that very director, whose name is Regina Dugan, is the person that was appointed to be the head of the Welcome Leap by the then-director and still current director of the Welcome Trust, Jeremy Farrar. And Regina Dugan, after she was left her role as the director of DARPA during the Obama administration, worked for Google, and then later Fulgin.

Facebook and creating DARPA equivalence for those companies. Where, among other things, she created what she called a digital pill that turns you into your own authentication token, turns your body essentially into a digital ID, smart clothing, using a wearable on your body that can read your brain signal so that you don't even have to physically type. The device reads your brain signal on those what you're going to type before you even move your hands and things of that nature. So now she's been head hunted, essentially, to run this global health DARPA.

And this is actually a model that was recently created and enacted by the Biden administration in an agency called ARPA-H, where the head of the CIA's DARPA equivalent, IARPA, I don't know if she was the head, but she had worked there, is now in charge of that particular agency, which is supposed to be a health DARPA. So this is a model that isn't exclusive to Welcome League. But the people that are there, including Ken Gabriel, who was the deputy director of DARPA under Regina Dugan, is again with her at Welcome Week to research a variety of programs.

I think they're up to seven now. Some of them focus on infants as young as three months of age. Some of them relate to fetuses in utero, and some of them are essentially transhumanists in nature. trying to grow with the intention of them planting into people, human machine, hybrid organs. God heavens. I mean, all sorts of stuff are being developed here. So, Whitney, hold on just a second.

I've got to take a one-minute break and then come back. I mean, we have to focus. The woman who is running this, when she was at DARPA, she was investigated and found that she was actually profiting illegally. on her own tech firm. She's a woman that doesn't seem to have an awful lot of scruples. And she is running this DARPA, if you will, with welcome leap. And we're going to get into what are they trying to do with babies again

and the brain scans and everything else? AI is coming faster than you can possibly imagine. and you need to pay attention. We'll give more on that just a second. There's a reason why it's important your children learn about personal responsibility. It's not just because you want them to be well behaved. It's because you want them to be successful adults someday. And they are the next generation.

And this next generation is going to be the one that saves us, honestly, from ourselves, if they have, you know, the correct principles. This is what I love about Whitney. She is young. She is eager and she is wicked, wicked smart. We need more people like this that are out there fighting every day. Fighting for the truth. Fighting for the truth.

All right. Tuttle Twins has a new book called Twelve Rules Boot Camp. It was modeled after Jordan Peterson's book, The Twelve Rules for Life.

Amazon will have more AI than it will have human workers. It's not just jobs, though. What is happening with AI is a really insidious way to control you. control everything and know exactly what you're thinking, what you're dreaming about. We're talking to Whitney Webb about the welcome leap. So can you give us an idea of, for instance, let's look at what they're doing with the babies and brainwaves. What are they looking for?

So this particular program, the way they describe it, is about essentially leveling the playing field for cognition, but in incense. So the program specifically targets infants beginning at three months of age and goes about to three years of age. But when you actually look at the different goals within this program, it becomes very clear that there's a lot more going on here than how they publicly pitch the aim of this particular program. So essentially, there's a couple different stages to this program.

But how it starts is these children who, you know, these children who are, are essentially being used as test up the subjects by Welcome Leap in this venture, would have wearables on their bodies that monitor their brain state that track how their eyes move, eye tracking technology. So bad. They be constantly surveilled in the environment they live in. And the way it's described, it's constant. So this means this child would be constantly surveilled,

not going outside seeing in this particular environment, having these things on their body that count how many steps they take, how many turns they take, and see how that affects their brain development. The goal for this, as stated in the program, is to develop what they call in, in-silico model of the developing human brain, you know, for infants, three months to three years of age. And this is essentially an artificial model, an artificial brain, that would mimic a growing human brain during that particular period of time. But then once they have that model,

what they hope to do is to subject children to screening to see if their brain through certain cognitive markers they identify sit the model basis. I want to get back into this with Whitney in just a couple of minutes. Because just the eye tracking on children and infants alone should be terrifying to everyone.

Welcome back to the program. If you're just joining us, thank you for listening. We had a massive power hit at our studio complex.

The third time in the last couple of months. I don't know what's going on, but we'll get some answers. We have been talking to Whitney Webb. She is, I think, one of the best journalists on planet Earth today. And you really need, you might not agree with everything she says. I mean, I don't think she agrees with very much of what I say, but you have to listen to her. She knows her stuff and what is coming and the connections to some of the most nefarious people, I think, on planet Earth today. So we've been talking to her about this welcome leap.

Welcome is a company or a trust, kind of like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, but they have their root. in eugenics like Bill Gates has his roots in Planned Parenthood. He still kinds of thing. He thinks much of the same kind of stuff. And we were talking about testing that they're going to be doing complete surveillance on children, babies from three months old to three years old, and tracking their eye movements. Eye movement tracking is the most dangerous thing you could ever give to somebody because they will know exactly. how you think just from your eye movements and you don't ever want to hand that to somebody they're also doing total surveillance to treat depression which I want to get into with Whitney but you have to understand a lot of these big huge global movements are all about controlling the population not about helping not about

making you healthier as a human, but making you a better worker. And I don't think that's overstating the case. Whitney, would you agree? Yeah, I don't think that's overstating it at all. So I'm assuming you'd like to go back to the ultimate ambition of this particular. Yes, with the, focus on toddlers. Yes, the ultimate. And then we want to talk about the depression treatments. Right. So, um, As I was saying earlier, so they want to subject these children to very invasive surveillance. That's surveilling not just what they're doing externally, but also what's going on internally. And to use that to develop an en-silico model of a developing child's brain. Then what they hope to do is the type of surveillance that was previously discussed,

subject that to 80% of children by 2030 with the goal of developing intervention. mentions, they say, if any of these children being surveilled in this way are not, their brain is not in line with the model they develop. They will then intervene and make the child's brain fit the model they develop as the ideal child's brain. It's essentially an effort to homogenize human cognition, starting with babies and children. and at the same time, essentially getting them accustomed to living a life of complete invasive surveillance, which is, you know, you're familiar with discussions at WES annual meetings or people like Yvall know a Harari.

That is the plan for everyone. Yes. But for Welcomely, if you have, you know, DARPA directors tied to the biggest big tech companies in the U.S. and the Welcome Trust, essentially looking to have this foisted upon our children. And this is important because the person behind Welton League, Jeremy Farrar, is due to become chief scientists of the World Health Organization in a matter of weeks. At the same time, the World Health Organization is seeking to expand its power to amending the International Health Regulations, which is a binding treaty among the World Health Organization and member states. So, for example, here's an example of how they could get to this 80% by 2030.

Let's say that the World Health Organization, if they obtain these new powers, they can declare a public health emergency of international concerns. We've seen over the past few weeks how the Biden administration is considering declaring the lack of abortions going on in the U.S. right now a public health emergency. What if the OMA, or sorry, the World Health Organization declares autism an emergency like that? Then Jeremy Farrar, who came up with this program, decides that, oh, well, this is the only way to decide if this, child would be autistic or not and we can intervene in their brain at an early stage and prevent any kid from ever being autistic again does that sound like something these people will do oh yeah absolutely absolutely and and you know it's terrifying is people this sounds like sci-fi to most people they have no i'll talk to friends about it and they'll be like yeah yeah no no no no you're

when i when i said these things were coming 20 years ago it was because I was reading people like, you know, Ray Kurzweil who was talking about these things, but it was 2030 years away. It's happening. It is happening. And in the next couple of years, all of this stuff will be set into stone if people don't wake up. Let me talk about the total surveillance to treat depression. This is just launched, You said this week, according to this article. And it's not really fighting depression. It's not to make people happier.

Can you explain? Yeah, so actually the article you're referring to that I wrote, I actually wrote two years ago. So this program is a two years down the line. And it's the same case with the toddler program. Yes, it's very, very unfortunate. So this particular program is aimed at treating depression and the way they define depression isn't the lack of the inability to experience pleasure.

Instead, they define it as a lack of interest in achieving rewards, like work-related rewards, like point accumulation, you know, sort of like the same dopamine rush people get from Facebook and social media, things like that. So it's allowing that to happen but has no interest in restoring the ability of someone who's depressed to experience pleasure, which if you've ever had depression or no. someone who has is arguably the most important part of the whole equation. And one of the ways they want to go about doing this is developing a similar grouping of devices, sort of like what was piloted or pitched in this child-focused program,

but for adults, including technology that could be used according to them, be used to interrogate the current state of someone's brain, their thoughts and things like that as a mean of depression. and various, you know, extreme, they use the term interventions, but these are all things that are meant to permanently alter your neurological makeup, essentially. And this is, you know, ultimately under the guise of treating depression, but they want this type of technology to be actively used in the workplace. And if you're familiar with what happened to the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting just a month ago,

there was a lady who spoke, who talked about, oh, these air, you're, earbuds, you know, headphones are going to be on the market soon and they'll be able to tell your boss whether you're paying attention or not, what you're paying attention to, all of this technology is already here. And she made a case to try and not get this technology banned because it had so many positive uses. But her main pitch for it was this can not just improve productivity at the office. It can help fight crime. So again, there's been a longstanding effort to create a predictive policing or pre-crime situation, including in the United States. And the antecedents for this were already established by Trump's Attorney General William Barr,

who established a program called Deep that was all about creating a means of essentially arresting people before they allegedly are going to conduct a violent crime based on their social media posts. So bad. Some arrests have been made in this program. And this effort at the same time was, being pitched by a Jared Kushner to the Trump administration, among other people, who wanted to create a health DARPA, HARPA, they were calling it.

And then, as I mentioned earlier in the program, this was actually created by the Biden administration, the same exact entity, but they called it ARPA-H instead. They just moved the H to the end. But the first program is being pitched, you know, in this period of time, they called it Safe Homes, and the idea was to data mine what you are posting on social media and then run it through an AI algorithm that will identify if anything you have posted presents neuropsychiatric warning signs of violence. Oh, my gosh.

And if those are identified, then you have to go, you will be ordered by a court to go to mental health official or you can be interned somewhere. You know, this was how the program was essentially set up. And thankfully, under the Trump administration, it was not put into force, but the Biden administration has created it. but they described it as an institution that was being created to fight cancer. But it's the same exact program and the same exact architects of what was being pitched and was rejected by the Trump administration. So this agenda is not exclusive to Welcome League, and the Biden administration is going very far in implementing that. And I would say that the recently removed chief science advisor, Eric Lander, to Biden, was a very enthusiastic supporter of these types of politics.

He was actually, allegedly, at least according to Jeffrey Epstein, heavily financed by him and has a lot of own rather odd ties to people who have espoused eugenics-related ideology over the years. So this particular program being developed by Welcome Leap is also the same means, essentially, are being pursued elsewhere as well. So, Whitney, first of all, I want to thank you for coming on the program. I know you get a lot of heat from people who follow you for being on my personal. program. I'm sure we disagree on a lot of things. The only thing is required for me to, you know, bring people into my bubble is, do you agree with the Bill of Rights? Do you believe that those are basic human rights that should never be violated or taken away from people? As long as you say that and you believe that, you know, we're going to disagree here and there.

and we're all at a different place in our own education on what's going on. This is, all this stuff that is going on is new to so many people. How do we cross these barriers and get people to understand, you know, this is not a conspiracy theory. These are conspiracy facts. And people have got to wake up. because the system is pitting all of us against each other. And, you know, I'm a different man than I was 20 years ago, just because I learn and I don't believe the same things I did 20 years ago.

How do we get everybody involved in this? Well, it's hard to say exactly what, you know, a short-term solution would be, but I would urge people to definitely educate your communities and yourself about this current power grab that's in the works at the World Health Organization, because one of the things you mentioned the Bill of Rights, so originally the International Health Regulation started off by saying that everything the World Health Organization recommends to its member states,

particularly in declared pandemics, among other things, is done with the full respect for dignity and human freedom and human rights. And if this amendment is passed, they take that whole section out. no more dignity, no more human freedom, no more human rights. None of it has to be respected at all. And they certainly, a lot of these people, including Jeremy Farrar, who is an architect of most of U.S. and UK, COVID policy, has made it very clear he doesn't respect those things at all. But instead, the amendment is all about equity and coherence of communication. That's the only thing they have to care about if these are put through.

And what does that ultimately mean we're all equally enslaved by? by the system. And so I would encourage people to look at that and raise awareness about that, because if we can stop that, then we can hopefully at least lessen further power grab attempts down the line under the guise of biosecurity in the future. Because historically, you know, pandemics have been a once-in-a-century event, and we have people talking about like it's going to be happening again in just a couple more years' time. How convenient for the people that benefited this last time around. Whitney, I truly believe you are one of the most important voices in the world to be heard.

I hope it doesn't, it isn't so long in between our conversations, because I'd like you to try to figure out ways to make this more bite size for people of my audience, at least, because I really think you're doing amazing work, and I appreciate it. Thank you so much. You bet. Whitney, Whitney Webb, and I'm going to tweet out some of her, articles. We'll do that here coming up in just a little while, so follow my Twitter. All right, let me tell you about Goldline. Are you watching the Netflix show The Last of Us? I think it's called. I just saw the first episode, Tanya and I watched it last night. And

the first episode when they're leaving the cities, I said to Tanya, it's coming. It's not zombie stuff, but it's absolutely coming. And you have to prepare for the absolute unthinkable. And when that comes to your money, there's going to come a time when you're going to need to trade on something. I mean, the World Economic Forum says it's going to be a banking crisis that's going to happen in the next 24 months. And that'll mean all your money will be cut off. All your money will be cut off. So what do you do for food?

Do you have anything to trade? Do you have any silver? Gold. When there's a banking crisis, I guarantee you the entire system will be reset and your dollar will be worth a lot less.

Please, please. don't listen to the urges to dismiss these things or to stop worrying about them. It's going to take us, you know, it's going to take us to stop it and save the Republic. Tonight, if you're watching Blaze TV at 5 o'clock, I have my Wednesday night special,

which I'm going to go in here in a little while for the 5 o'clock special. It is, if you're a James Bond fan, you're going to love it. I compare Spector from James Bond to the WEF. I think it's the same organization. But we'll talk about their next catastrophe that they're trying to prepare us for, which is a massive digital outage. All tonight, Blaze TV and Glenn Beck YouTube.
