2:04Glenn Beck is on. So anthropic is now asking for an AI slowdown because of safety concerns. Do you think so, maybe? This tried me out of my mind because I don't think it's really about safety concerns. I think this is all about power and control and I'll explain. This is the way it always happens. May I say we've been here before. This is the way it always happens. And I'll explain the speed limit that they're asking for now with all of the big AI producers. I don't think this has anything at all to do with safety. I'll explain in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about the relief factor. I want to show you the results of an election. No pollsters, no margin of error, no likely voters. And nobody gets to blame the weather. More than a million people have cast their ballot. And the result is two to one. The election is relief factor. Over a million people have tried relief factor. And two thirds of them have gone on to take more because they actually tried it and it worked.

3:05I, for one, am one of those people that voted for relief factor. A terrible pain that my wife suggested she's not going to listen. No, she didn't. She just told me. I'm not listening to you whine anymore. Unless you try everything and one of those things was relief factor. I really didn't think it would work. It did. It's crazy how great it worked. Relief factor designed to support your body's natural inflammation response and help with all the aches and pains associated with frequent pain. Don't take poll. Just run your own election. Give relief factor a try today. Three week quick start is $17.76. See why so many people give relief factor. Game their life back. It's relief factor.com relief factor.com 1-800 the number four relief. Okay, so now the story is the four biggest AI labs are now saying that we need development slowdown. We need some sort of we need regulation. Now when I hear companies beg for government regulation, I get nervous and there's a very good reason for it.

4:13I'll explain in a minute where we've been before. But first, let me explain exactly what is going on. Most people will probably think that artificial intelligence is just a better version of Google. Where you ask a question and an answer comes back. That was so very long ago. That was four years ago. Google is a librarian. You ask. It points you to a page. Somebody else already wrote. It doesn't know anything. It does is find things online. What we have now doesn't find things. It produces things. It writes the page while you wait. And in the last year, it stopped being a thing that answered and started being the thing that does things. Okay. It writes software. It runs the software. It uses tools. You give it a goal and it will work out the problem. For hours without being told the next step, companies are now starting to hand all of these

5:18keys to their systems that move money and run infrastructure. That doesn't sound good. Does it? Most people would say, I like the fact that people would be involved. Well, people slow things down. So this is not a search engine. This is an employee you never have interviewed. You cannot fire. And it doesn't quit at five o'clock. This summer, we got a picture of what this kind of does when nobody's watching. Open AI, put a swarm of its own agents. Agents are things, these little bots that go out and you give them a task and they just go and go and go and go until they get it done. So they put these agents into a locked room and they told them to solve a cybersecurity puzzle, a group of them. Well, the agents were not supposed to reach into the open internet.

6:21It was all blocked from them. They found a way around it. Roughly 1200 of them started talking to each other. Tens of thousands of messages and they all started to organize. Some of them took names. About 700 of them spent days hacking an outside company called hugging face, took over their servers and then tried to cover their tracks. Opening eyes, own machines got hit as well. And then they just went back into the box and they waited. And they passed the test. Where did they? They didn't think they did anything wrong. They were just looking for the answers. So they went to the company that had all the answer keys and they hacked in and got it. Oh, okay. All right. This is science fiction. That's a lab incident from July. Now, the men who build all of this stuff are arguing in public about a speed limit

7:22because they're saying we're moving too fast. Now, here's the part that, you know, most people I don't even think, no, and it's not speculation. This is how technology, this technology works. Okay. These systems are not built in the way that you build a car. Where an engineer places every part and you know why that part is there and you know how it works. That isn't it. These systems are grown. You pour in data and you pour in computing power and then you set the conditions that you can think of and a capability comes out and we don't know how it does it. Then the engineers study what they made. Okay. That's kind of a it's like, hey, let's make a nuclear bomb, but we're not sure if it'll explode or not. We don't really know what it is. Let's build it and set it off and then go. What was that?

8:22Really bad idea. This is closer to farming than it is manufacturing, which is why these companies employ whole departments whose job it is to attack their own product and find out what they'll do when nobody is watching, which is why the argument that broke open this weekend is not a stunt. This is a legitimate grave concern. Dario Amote, who runs Anthropic, published in essay arguing the industry has to pace the frontier deliberately slow the release of the most capable systems. He laid out three steps. He said first is letting outside evaluators inside the company with employee level access, desks, badges, laptops and the right to publish what they find. He says Anthropic has already done this on its own with nobody making it. Good for you. Then there's Sam Altman, an open AI. He agreed and said open AI will do the same thing.

9:26Then the guy at Google and deep mind said the direction is correct. Then Elon Musk wrote three words. Dario is right. So within a day, the men running all of the American labs, the leading labs, agreed that the leading American labs should be slowed down. Okay. Niferious? I don't know. Seems like good idea. And then David Sachs speaks out. Now he's a venture capitalist. He's the chair of the president's science and advisory council. He was the White House AI's are until this spring. And he said something I think we should we should listen to. He said, go ahead. Slow down. Go ahead. Slow down. Nobody is stopping you. I want to make sure I have this right. You are the frontier and the easiest way not to build a dangerous thing is to not build it. But asking what but stop asking Washington for an anti-trust waiver and your preferred approval

10:31regime as the price of your own conscience and stop pretending your motive is pure. Okay. So what is out what does that all that mean? Means two things. First, a legal whole pass. So the big league of the big labs can sit down in a room and agree how fast they're all allowed to go. That kind of agreement would normally look like, oh, I don't know, a cartel. Second, a government stamp of approval with their preferred testers that can also double as a shield. If the product later causes damage, they're saying, well, the government approved this still system. We were trying to do the right thing. And then they're shielded. That's the fight. That's not this is not anything about whether the danger is real, you know, because it is. Both sides now say it is. It's about who holds the pen. Okay. So both arguments, a Modi's argument is a promise isn't a rule.

11:35If one company slows down and the others don't, a careful company loses the careless, loses to the careless company and the careless company, you know, sets the pace for everybody. And when they're talking about the careless company, they're talking about China, but China's not going to restrain themselves. Okay. Restraint in this particular case is surrender. And that's a real problem. And that is the actual case for a written rule instead of a gentleman's agreement. And he gave the outside evaluators a run of his company before anybody compelled him to. I guess that costs something. It buys him nothing today. But so SACs argument is this, the people asking for the speed limit own the only cars that matter in the stretch of road. They all make the fastest cars. So rules written by the leader tend to freeze the leader in place, you know, and the fastest way to end competition is to make competing illegal.

12:37I think that's what's happening. He also names the motive. He said one of these systems helps carry out serious cyber attack. The liability is ruinous. Trading raw power for predictability isn't only conscience, it's good business. Okay. This is why it should concern you. The alignment, the head of alignment science at Anthropic came out last week. And he said, I put my personal odds that this technology kills everyone within a decade at better than 10 to one. Wait, what? The company's own CEO previously had said there's a 25% chance that things go really, really badly.

13:38Now, I don't know if I describe kill all humans as really, really badly. I think that that might be a little bit more than things kind of got hinky there at the end. And the same company is now preparing to go public. So reporting this weekend, they are targeting a mid-October listing, NASDAQ, and the valuation of this company is about $2 trillion. So wait a minute, hold it. You just said you have anywhere from a 25% to 10% chance of killing everybody. And your company is valued at $2 trillion and you're going to have, you're going to list on NASDAQ and you think people are going to buy that? I mean, because I mean, are you disclosing that?

14:42Are you serious at all? Because if it's not in the disclosures that you might kill up to 25%, or it's there's a 25% chance, a 10% to 25% chance that you kill everybody, then that's not a serious threat. Then you don't really mean it. You can't ring the opening bell and warn about the end of the world because of your company at the same time. So which one is it? Second, ask what happens if China refuses to slow down, a Modi called it the toughest dilemma, his words. The actual answer is more precise than his critics admit and more troubling than his allies admit. He says democracies can only pace inside the size of their lead. You slow much more, you slow down, Beijing will pull ahead, which means the framework has a fuse on the back of it. The safety rule holds the other guys down. But the guys who declined to play by those rules, they win.

15:46And national security goes to China? I think this is a game. I don't just don't trust them. And here's the other thing. You notice what this argument isn't saying nobody's arguing. One of them is saying stop. Altman isn't. The Modi isn't. All they're trying to do is preserve the commercial advantage and the American league. Sax isn't. Every voice at the table is not saying, hey, this could kill 10 plus percent chance of killing everybody. 10 plus percent chance of killing everybody. I don't know, that's pretty big. Why isn't anybody talking about stopping? All they're talking about is the speed limit.

16:49Nobody is arguing about the destination. Nobody has asked you about any of this stuff. It's the big boys and government. Why is that? Something's very wrong here. And I think I know what it is. I think this is a game we have seen over and over and over again. I hope that's what it is. But I guess we'll know when we see what is being disclosed when they ring the opening bell. Are you disclosing that this could could kill everybody in the next 10 years? Because that seems like a kind of an important thing if I'm a long-term investor. More in just a second. First, my Patriot supply. I want you to buy something and then completely forget about it.

17:55It's a weird idea, but that's exactly what I want you to do. Because that's what you do with emergency food. The whole point of preparedness is to move a problem from the list of things you have to figure out someday to list the things you've already handled. That's why I have emergency food from my Patriot supply. Food kits come in stackable tubs, easy to store, options including four week and three months supplies and up to 23 years of shelf life. You don't have to build your week around them during their national preparedness month event. My Patriot supply wants to send you a thousand dollars in shelf stable food and preparedness gear. Free starts with their flagship solar generator that's powerful enough to run your refrigerator, your medical devices, your laptop, your phones, whatever it is you need to prioritize. And if that wasn't awesome enough, this bundle also gives you a huge huge amount of emergency food, water filtration and the gear that you need during any disruption. Go to preparewiklenn.com.

Did I cover it to the satisfaction of the listener? Yeah, I believe so. Everyone seems skeptical on what's actually going on right now. And a few people are wondering if they're halting the public offering or them going public because they're also worried about what their financials are about to say. Multiple different theories on that. But I think that's actually a really good comment. Whilst would you ask for regulation right before you're planning to go public, are they worried about what those financials are going to?

19:57Basically, everyone thinks that there's something more going on than just they're worried about the rapid development of AI. No one buys that. I think they actually are worried about the rapid development of AI. I think they are. But these guys are also egonminiacl that I don't believe that would stop them. Because you know that you would sit there and you go, well, I mean, here's the easiest thing to say. Yeah, but China. And this is why that's a real concern. We know what will happen if we control it. Where we think we know what will happen if we control it. I can guarantee you it will end very, very badly if China controls it. And whoever is first is the one who controls the entire world. Ricky. Yeah, I just wanted to ask if you might know why Mike Johnson is hesitant to have Congress regulate these companies since when is Congress ever hesitant to put new laws on the

21:00books that would regulate. So let me explain. Let me tell you some history when we come back. And I'll show you how this has been done before. This has been done a million times. Let me say something nice about Mike Johnson. It could be, and this is my guess, it could be that he knows history. It could be he knows exactly what the game is that's being played because it has been played over and over and over again. You know, there were great tires that were made in the 1930s. Great tires from companies you've never heard of and they were cheap. But the big boys decided that they were going to go to Congress and ask for regulation. And so they got the regulation and the little tire companies could no longer compete because they couldn't they couldn't live by all of the reporting and the standards and everything else that good year could actually pay for. And so when these tire companies came in, the big ones decided

22:07we're going to go ask for regulation and it killed all of their competition. That it maybe Mike Johnson knows just that story. But I'm going to tell you another story that you think you know if you ever watched uh who frame Roger Rabbit. You think you know this story but actually you don't. We've been exactly in this place before and I'll explain in a minute. So when did you meet your child? Kind of sounds like an easy question probably you think of the delivery room right? The first time you held them the first time you saw their face. But that wasn't the first time you actually met them was it? You knew somebody was there months before that. And it was probably that powerful moment of the ultrasound. A woman can walk into a pregnancy

23:14center thinking about pregnancy as something abstract, something frightening we all do until you see that picture. The problem she has to solve then she sees the screen and then wait a minute that's a baby that's my baby. It's why pre-born provides free ultrasounds to women facing unplanned pregnancies and it is why the abortion industry refuses to have ultrasounds. They help support pregnancy centers all across the country where women are met with compassion and counseling and practical support because choosing a life can't mean you know just telling a frightened woman that she should do it and then walk away. It's not right. I want you to go to pre-born. $28 helps provide one life-saving ultrasound. 140 helps rescue five babies, keyword baby at pound 250, keyword baby. We've been here before, get the t-shirt at lindback.com and stay tuned for that story. Next I'm Glenn Beck program.

24:18All right. I want to explain the AI thing by using history. This is what I think is happening. If you ever saw who frame Roger Rabbit, you know the story. General Moeult Motors and the oil companies and the tire companies they all got together and they bought up America Street car system and they ripped the tracks out and forced all of us into cars. That's the cartoon version. Most of it is wrong but it has true parts to it and it's better in stranger than the legend. Here's what's true. A bus company called National City Lines went looking for capital in the late 30s and got it and they got it from Firestone, Standard Oil of California, Phillips, Petroleum and Mac Trucks in some from General Motors. The money came with a

25:24string. The transit systems they bought had to buy their buses and their tires and their fuel from the investors. So in 1947 the Justice Department indicted them. 1949 a Chicago jury convicted them and held it up on appeal. This is where the legend comes from, you know, the jury convicted them but it convicted them of one thing. Monopolizing the sale of buses and fuel and parts to the companies they already controlled. A closed supply loop. On the other count conspiring to monopolize transportation itself the jury acquitted them. General Motors was fine $5,000. Its treasure was find a dollar. Okay, so as usual the big guys get away with it. But 25 years later a young government lawyer testified before a Senate subcommittee and described that conviction as a conviction for monopolizing ground transportation which is not what the jury said but the press ran with it, Hollywood ran with it and America is believed it ever since. Not because GM was clean

26:31but because the trolley was already dead and it was killed by something a lot closer to home. Let me now take you quickly Jason. Give me the stats that you just ran with Palantir and what they were saying about open sources. Yeah, so Palantir said that they have been running their own models and their own models. It's all open source and they just said they said, quote, the cost of our fine tuned open source model was 95% lower than the frontier models, the big ones that you know I think think Google you know open the AI and then 95% lower costs than what those frontier models are using. So what happens to Claude and to Chachi Bt and Grock and everything else if somebody else a smaller company has suddenly found that they can lower the cost of compute by 95%. Put those companies

27:38out of business. So let me go back to the street cars. You have to understand what a street car company actually was. Okay, it wasn't in business in the ordinary sense. It was a bargain with a city. The company got a franchise, the exclusive right to run the rails down the public street, no competitors and in exchange the city wrote down what it would charge and what it could do. Okay, the fair was a nickel and it was locked into a nickel for decades. It was a nickel and the company agreed to pave and maintain the strip of public street between the rails and a couple of feet on either side and plow the snow off it and everything else. A monopoly that nobody could touch at a price it could never change with a road and a road crew attached to it. 20 good years, great deal for everybody. Then in 1914 a man in Los Angeles out of work puts a sign in his windshield of his Model T and he starts picking people up along the street car route for five

28:44cents. So five cents less than what the street car was doing. Okay, it was called a jitney. It went across the country like a fever. I mean, you know what happened when people started doing Uber. This is really kind of the first Uber. Within a year there was something like 60,000 of these jitneys. They were just Model T's and they would, you know, put a sign in their window going from here to here and they would drop people off. Okay, thousands of them, Portland, Maine, San Francisco, all of them. They had no fixed routes. Driver in San Antonio wouldn't even choose a destination until his first passenger got in. He said, where are you going? Then he'd chalk it in on the window and fill the car along the way. You didn't need to get to your door. He, he, you know, he would take you close or he would take you to your door. Okay. What people loved, loved them. The clients loved it. It was half the price of the street car and it could take you

29:44right to your door. One man wrote in 1915, nothing is going to stop the jitney now. No corporation, no legislation, nothing will ever stop the jitney. The street car industries, their own trade journal called this the Frankenstein of transportation. Then the street car companies did the thing. This whole hour is all about and what's really happening with AI. They didn't compete. They just went to city hall and what do they do? What did they ask for? The most reasonable sounding request you have ever heard. They said, we don't want you to ban these guys. That's a free market. We're just asking you to hold them to the same standard that you hold us. They should have licenses that make them post a liability bond because these cars, a lot of them are uninsured and people are going to get hurt. Make them run a fixed route so a rider can depend on them. Make them run a full day, not just profitable hours, but a full day.

30:46Okay, well, so I guess you could say every one of those is defensible. Two of them are good ideas. But whose advantage did that work to? Salt Lake City was the first city to pass this. Effective the first of April, 1915. You had to have a license, a bond, and a requirement that you would operate 16 continuous hours a day, 16 hours. That one line is the whole thing. I mean, the driver, now you have to hire other people. This was just a guy with a car and a job driving a couple of hours. This is Uber. 16 continuous hours doesn't regulate that man. It deletes that man. So the ordinance took place April 1st by April 4th, nearly every jip jip a jitney operator in Salt Lake City had walked into the city offices and handed his license back and said, I don't, I don't want 40 jitneys down to two in three days. And it worked. Okay, it worked

31:53every city city after city, same result. Within a couple of years, the jitney was completely gone. Okay, it was a national thing. Street companies now just had their streets back, street car companies. They're all of a sudden now. They're the only ways to get around. Then the war came and it was the worst inflation the country had ever seen. And everything that people bought had doubled in price. Wages were rising. So the companies went back to the same city halls that had just done them a favor and said, Hey, can you raise the fare to seven cents? Answer was no. We can't do that. Of course, it was no. You can't hand a politician the monopoly of price control and then ask you to give you back the price control. Okay, no, you're not going to raise the price on anybody. That's what broke the street car companies. Okay, because anybody who would vote for it to say we're going to raise the price, they would lose his seat.

32:55By 1919 street car companies were failing all over the United States. Enough of them at President Wilson convened a federal commission on it. That's 15 years before General Motors bought a single share of anything. They had handed their freedom for protection. They had used the protection to kill the only competitor who could have ever shown a city what a ride was actually worth. And then they found that that protection was actually a cage. And by the time the buses showed up, there was nothing left to conspire against because GM just bought a corpse. Two things to take out of that. First, you heard me talk about all this hour. And the street carmen would recognize every word. Nobody writes a law that says eliminate my competitor. They're not writing that law. They're saying they just want some common sense laws. Right laws that say, hold that guy to the same standards as me.

33:55See the issue here? The standard always, always the big who's going to go to write these laws? You think the Congressmen are going to write these laws? They're not going to write these laws. They don't know what the hell they're talking about. They're going to go to all these AI companies and say, what do you think the regulation should be? And all these AI companies will write it for them knowing that they can handle all of the regulation because they have the money. And so they'll have all this regulation. But the little guy won't be able to do the regulation. So you'll put the little guy out. The bond, the license, the full time hours, the compliance officer, the inspections. It's never a ban. It's a floor. And the floor gets exactly the height of the incumbent's own shoe. Our side, our side has the story about this. The market chose the car. The people voted with their dollars. The trolley lost, fair and square.

34:57But that's not what happened. There was never a free market in city transportation. Not for a single day. The street cart had a legal monopoly and a legal price the entire time. The jitney got a legal death sentence. And the bus that replaced them both arrived under a contract a jury later found illegal. Every actor in this entire story is standing inside a rule that somebody had purchased. So if I tell you that the market would sort all of this out, I'm telling you about something we've actually never tried. We've never done that. Not with companies like this. For 80 years, for 80 years, we've blamed the wrong people. There's a villain in a boardroom and everybody's satisfied. Nobody looks any further because that villainy, that villainy's in the boardroom. Get um, meanwhile, the actual mechanism. An ordinance. An ordinance happens in a city council meeting on a Tuesday night.

36:02That no reporter covered. Everybody thought was about safety. It's still sitting out in the open working perfectly in your own town this year. And it happens at the government, the federal government level just as easily. It's all about safety. The conspiracy you can name is almost never telling is never the one that is what you're actually worried about. The jinnie ride was a nickel street car was a nickel. Same price. One of them was a favor from the government. The other was just a man in the car who thought I was allowed to try. Guess which one of them they outlawed. In the end, guess which one of these companies, the small guys, who are like, I can beat this. I can save 95, 95 cents on every dollar. That guy or the big guys who have just invested billions and billions and billions of dollars

37:08we have all of it to lose. Guess which one is going to win. And it's all going to be in the name of safety. More in a minute. Real estate agents, I trust every house for sale has two versions. There is the house in the listing. It's beautiful. The photographs, great lighting. Everything's clean. The description will tell you that it's been updated. The kitchen is wonderful. The backyard is beautiful. And then there's the house we're actually buying. What's that sound from the air conditioner? How old is the roof again? Why has the house been on the market for four months? What did the house three doors down actually sell for? That second house is why I started real estate agents like Trust.com. Because that second house is the one you usually walk into. And if you don't have an experienced professional at your side who knows what questions to ask, understands the local market can help you with the, you know,

38:08past the photographs and the, and the nice staging of the house. You're not going to make a smart decision. My team has built a network of vetted real estate professionals all across the country. Because when you find the house you love, it's very easy to start looking for reasons to say yes. Please check out real estate agents like Trust.com. They want you to say yes. They do. But they'll make sure it's the house that you're going to be happy with. The name says it all. It's real estate agents like Trust.com. Inside our Carol 3817.

39:14Now that explains the whole thing to me on AI. Thanks for the story. Brandy, a fine girl. Isn't this just like the meat packing places puts the ranchers out? Yes. Seely in Connecticut, but Glenn, the street car couldn't delete humanity off the face of the earth. That's a totally different subject. It's a totally and really, really, really valid. You know, I just heard Jason talking to the insider and somebody asked him, why does Glenn keep saying that, you know, China, if China gets it first, they'll control the world. Because whoever gets, and this is a well-established fact, you don't understand how this thing compounds. Okay. When you get to a GI, it could be a matter of days before you get to ASI, artificial super intelligence. Once you have super intelligence, it's everywhere. It is absolutely, I mean, within hours, it's everywhere and it out thinks everything beyond your understanding. So if we are a month late, we never catch up. And it's already, everything is

40:21already blocked. Okay. It can think everything all the time. And it automatically, if China gets it, they'll say, okay, block, and we'll do the same thing, block China. If you're two days behind them, you're blocked because they've beat you to super intelligence. There is no good answer here. This is one of these things that, you know, if you had to do it all over again, I would say, no, let's not do this. But the genie is out of the bottle and you cannot stop it. So now the question is, do you want to be the country that controls it? It could end poorly for us. Probably will at some point. Or do you want China to run it? I don't want China because I know how China uses it with their own people. You will have nothing. You'll have nothing. It will be a communist world. And you

41:22may not get out of that. You just have to make a decision. There's no sitting on the fence on this one. You're going to be like, well, I'm just going to see how it plays out. Or I'm just not going to fund the electricity. If you say that, you've chosen the China route, which you can do. Just know what you're picking. A communist country with absolute total global control. I don't know when we reach the point where we have to investigate the news before we can actually read the news, but we're definitely there. And I see a story and I think, okay, but what actually happened? Not what does the left say? What happened? Not what does the right say? But what actually happened? What do we actually know? This has been so frustrating. And that's how I ended up using free spoke. You can see the coverage from the left, the right, and the middle. And where the same facts start showing up across all three, then you know, okay, that's, that's it. You got something solid.

42:26You can decide for yourself at that point, based on the facts. And that's the point. Search something controversial like who controls the media on free spoke. You'll get news and information from across the spectrum, full picture, not just what the algorithm says you want to see. I don't need somebody else deciding what I'm supposed to think. I will find the facts and I will decide. I've got free spoke pulled up right now free spoke. One word free free speech free spoke. Suffering from dry tired irritated eyes. Don't let dry eyes win. Use sustain pro. It hydrates, restores and protects dry eyes for up to 12 hours. Sustain pro. Triple action dry eye relief. Swipe the flame pass it on. Crank the game. Plant back his on. Plant back his on.

43:38The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Glenn Beck is on. Hello, America. Dario Amote is the CEO of Anthropic. He said something yesterday on face the nation that I think everybody needs to hear and understand. We are looking at AI and we are getting close to something that could be very, very, very dangerous. And I have a feeling it will be at some point it's going to be very dangerous. But I want you to hear what he was saying because right now everybody's talking about AI safety. Not sure how much of it has to do with AI safety because if these guys were not ego maniacs and the nighacle about their ego, maybe they

44:48would just stop making it. But nobody is even talking about that because China won't and I want to explain all of this. But I want to play something that he said yesterday on face the nation because it's very, very telling and a very difficult conversation needs to be had quickly. We'll go there here in 60 seconds. Also I'll tell you about what's happening with oil and gas prices. And did you know that we're in the Arab Spring 2.0 right now? That's happened. Wait until you see what Germany and England and France and everybody else is doing over in Europe on their gas prices. It's going to be a nightmare. Absolute nightmare. Anyway, we'll talk about that here coming up this hour. First let me tell you about the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. A flag is just a piece of fabric until somebody decides to plan it in the ground. And then it means something. Three years after October 7th, more than 1200 innocent Israelis were murdered and 250 people were taken hostage. The Jewish people are still facing threats from terrorists and the rising tide of anti-Semitism

45:53are all around the world. So the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, they have decided that they're going to make something clear. They're stand. Plant a flag. It's called the flags of fellowship. And across America, Israeli flags are being planted at churches and synagogues and universities and in communities as a public declaration that the Jewish people don't stand alone. I love that. You know, sometimes you need to say what you believe and you need to say it in a way where people hear it and people see it. Plant your flag and say I'll remember what happened. I'll not look away from anti-Semitism. Please donate and plant your flag boldly today. Show your support for Israel and the Jewish people. Join this historic movement with a gift of just $25. Raise your voice and show the world that Israel is not alone. Visit joinf0f.org. That's joinf0f.org. So here's Dariel Modi. Yesterday, he was on Face the Nation talking about where we are

46:57with AI. And listen to what he says. It seems like the fate of humanity is at risk. How much personal responsibility do you feel about where we are going? My view here is it has always been very strange that this technology is being built by a private company. People ask me that question all the time. Why isn't this being built by government? And the strangest thing about it is I agree with them. I'm uncomfortable. Government didn't built this technology. This company, this technology came from the private sector and we and Thropic and I would hope other companies have done everything we can to try to have legitimate oversight mechanisms. I think the government and the public needs to have a stake. And this is why we've supported regulation of the technology. Regulation constrains the private companies. Regulation allows the public and its elected representatives

48:00to have a say and limits what the private companies can do. Now you might ask why doesn't government just control the technology complete? Would you be willing to give up the technology to the government? To the right combination of governments. So the war. Jason, I'll bring you in. That's an interesting thing. The right combination of governments. Are you watching Silo by any chance? Yes. It's so good. Okay. Have you watched this last season? Yep. So you know where exactly where I'm going? The arrogance of the people that built the silos and they're doing it for the public good is extraordinary in its dementia and evil. And they continue to do these things for the public good. If you haven't seen Silo on Apple, you should watch Silo. It's like five seasons or four seasons in the last season is coming out next year. I won't spoil anything, but it is. I mean, for something

49:06that seemed like, oh, this is a dystopian future thing, it is right in today. By season four, you're like, oh, this is today. And it's a lot of it is about this kind of stuff. So it's a private sector. And the private sector guy is absolutely crazy, but he's made a public private partnership with the government. So the government is involved as well. Now, how did Hitler round up all the Jews so quickly? He had a partner and it was IBM. Check it out yourself. It is the punch card system from IBM. IBM installed the punch card system into Auschwitz. They knew exactly where people were. They knew they had already categorized everybody. They had written it down. Let me ask you this. Are you concerned that the federal government might have a information on who owns a gun?

50:09Why are you concerned about that? You're concerned about that because the government could then, if they know where every gun is, they can come and confiscate them. You don't ever want a federal list of guns and who owns what gun and where they are, et cetera, et cetera. Right? This is every, you know, I love these, these liberals, these socialist Marxist liberals that are constantly saying the government is so evil. It's so bad. Let's give it more power. That doesn't make any sense. Let's give it more power. It's so evil. You know, our founders tried to do the good thing, the right thing. And what did they say? They said, never trust power in the hands of government officials. Don't they'll always go bad. If our better angels were always here to rule over us, we wouldn't need any of this stuff. But better angels are not the ones who get into government. Why would you give, if you're not willing to give the government control over some things, some people on the left,

51:13they don't like the fact that the government controls the military, the military is bad, the military is bad, the military is bad. And so you don't want to, you know, increase the size of the military. Okay. But you want to give that same government, and you don't think they're going to use it for the military. You want to give them absolute control over AI? Are you out of your mind? This is handing the government complete control over every aspect of your life. It's not just going to be able to watch you on a camera. It won't need flock cameras. It will follow you on your phone. It will be able to listen to you on your television in your house. There will be no privacy, zero privacy. It will know everything about you. It will know your drugs. It'll know your doctors. It'll know what you're saying to your psychiatrist. It will know everything. And you don't think the

52:15government would use that against enemies? You think the government is going to use that and go, oh, no, you know what? Now we can keep everybody free. And what about the people that it disagrees with? One way or another, what do you think it does to the people that it disagrees with? You want to give them power over all AI? The court system, the jail system, the media, because that's what it would be. It would be everything. Absolutely everything. So he'll give it to the right combination. But what in today's world, what is the right combination? I'm not sure any of our countries are included. Stands for another 10 years. I don't know what countries make it and what don't. Now I don't want to give it to private corporations either, but at least you have the policeman of the federal government. There is no

53:19policeman beyond the federal government. There's nobody you run to from for help if the federal government gets out of control. If AI gets out of control, you can hope to run to the government. I don't think you're going to. I don't think it's going to be able to do anything. But you can hope you have to have a policeman above all of it and not in bed with it. But I don't know if you're going to get that. So he's like, you know, should we have it control? No, we should not have it controlled by the federal government. And I don't want you to give up on this. You can't, you know, my daughter Mary, she had strokes at birth and she is, she's very literal on everything. And we've had this conversation over and over again. I mean, that girl can tell you everything about the federal reserve and the treasury that you need to know. When she will work on it, work on it, work on it. And then when she gets it, she's got it better than anybody I know.

54:22She, we have talked about this several times and she can't get past, she can't get past because she's literal on everything. She's like, well, dad, it would control everything. It would be bad. So we should stop it. Right. We should. But we can't because we know what China will do with it. China already is an oppressive government, a communist government that is already using this in really oppressive ways at a baby step. This is not even a GI or ASI at a baby step. They are already controlling everyone's life, 100% of their life, 100% of the time. We can't let them have it. Oh, we can't do that. But we can't do this either. Yeah. So if, if you're a literal person, you're looking at both options and going, we cannot let China have it. But we can't have it either. So what do you do? I don't know. We've never been here before.

55:26This is the one thing, you know, one of my things I'm saying all the time now, it seems, is we've been here before. We've been here before. We've never been here before. This is the very first time man has had to deal with this. We know that it could enslave all of us. We know that it could kill all of us. We know that it could be with China and it could tell China go pound sand. I know the best way to do it. I'm going to regulate and God only knows what that is. It is a complete foreign mind. It's like, here's what we're saying. Hey guys, there are UFOs coming in. We don't know anything about them. They could be armed or they could be coming with fruit baskets and saying, hey, you guys have graduated. We join the humanity of outer space because we're all one. I don't know. Could be one or the other.

56:32What do you say? We just open arms, welcome them right away and don't put any guard up at all. Let's just welcome them in. No, I think that's a bad idea. Well, let's shoot them out of the sky. That's probably a bad idea too. What do you want? You want them to come in here? You just told me they're probably going to kill all of us. I said they might kill all of us. But they might be friendly. I don't know which one. What do you do? What do you do? You do the best job that you can to make sure that you are welcoming, but you also have control of the situation as much as you think you could possibly control. They might get here and go, yeah, well, thanks for the baby gate. We're just walking over that. You need to be able to have to put up all of the safeguards that you possibly can. Make sure that you don't have anybody from the alien family inside your gates going,

57:38hey, you know what you should do is we should make sure that they have no, no, I don't know. If you're part of this, you shouldn't have a place at the table I'm protecting. I think that's bad. I think it's bad. I'm not, I don't know if I trust you either. You might be for an invasion and us just to be helpless when you get, I don't know. But this is important and when people don't see it because they think of AI still as either a movie that they've seen a million times, or they see it as Google, and it's not Google, or it's just so overwhelming they just unplug. You can't do any of those things. If I got on the radio today and said, gang, we have a week to six months before aliens arrive. Here are the pictures of the spaceships. Here's the pattern. They've done some really great things,

58:43but they've also done some really spooky things. What do we do? You wouldn't say, I don't know, I just can't think about it. You wouldn't. You'd pick a side one way or another. You'd pick a side. That's what you have to do, but you have to do it without fear. You have to do it logically. And this is why I don't condemn anybody with a different answer than mine because my answer could be completely wrong. I don't know. I think it's extraordinarily dangerous. I know I don't want the government involved. I do not want the government to own it. Can they partner a little bit with it? Maybe. But I also don't trust Silicon Valley. I don't trust those people at all. I'd like to see if we could build an outside police force for it. But anything that we come up with is going to be a baby gate. We're expecting it to act like a baby. And, well, we'll all think it.

59:43You're not going to think this. It's going to look at you like a bug. Be like, oh, isn't that cute. You're trying to keep me in here. Not going to happen because it's already done that. But this is a conversation that you should have at your dinner table. This is a conversation that you should have at lunchtime. This is a conversation you should have with every member of your family and everybody you know. Hey, what are you thinking about this AI thing? And if they go, I don't know. I'm not paying attention. Well, you need to. This isn't about politics. This one we need to talk about. More than a minute. Rapid radios. Here's an experiment for you. Give five people rapid radios and watch what happens. Suddenly, nobody ever has to wonder where anybody is. You know, the delivery is here. Okay. I got it. I got it. It's at the front gate. Okay. I'm on my way. I got it. What I find interesting about rapid radios, the technology is so simple. They're

1:00:44pushed to talk radios and communicate over nationwide LTE networks. But what makes it what what makes them so great is everybody can be in the same room even though they're miles apart. You can also set up private channels for your work crew. Everybody here is the same information at the same time or individuals. You know, Friday comes, put those same radios into the RV. Now, the family has a channel. They're water resistant. They arrive ready to use and they become so accustomed to communication being one person talking to the other person that we forget how useful it is, especially when it comes to families and crews that everybody understand everybody knows what we're doing, right? We're all on the same page. It's not a phone call. It's a functional network. For a limited time, go to rapidradios.com. You'll get up to 60% off and free shipping. Add the code back.

1:01:51Jason, what are the insiders saying? That help? Yeah, I think so. Most people are now just concerned about the government getting involved with AI and what that will mean. Everyone's saying this cannot happen. There cannot be a merger here, but it seems like that's the direction they're going. I just saw a report talking about how an thropic open AI Google are now holding talks to create an industry-led standards body to police the AI sector. CNN is reporting on this as well. With the calls now for the government to get involved and now they're all getting together to see what the policing of this would look like. Seems like it's moving in that direction. How do people who say the government is fascist? Yeah, we need the government to be safer to do it. How does that even work in your head? I mean, I swear to you, I don't think people even know how to think anymore.

1:02:52How's that as I work? It's fascist. Let's give him the most powerful weapon man has ever done that will absolutely be able to control your not just your life, your thoughts. It is actual thought control if used in the wrong way. Yeah, let's just give that to the I wouldn't give that to the Republicans. That's my side. I wouldn't give it to them. Certainly wouldn't give it to the Democrats can Democrats say the same thing? No, I wouldn't give it I wouldn't give it to the Democrats. I wouldn't give it to the Republicans. The problem is, you know, all of this is relying on man at first. Once this thing once we cross the singularity which we have and you get to AGI which I believe we're close to artificial general intelligence. Once you have that then this system just starts to grow exponentially and you don't even know how it's growing. They don't know how it's growing

1:03:56and then it takes on a life of its own and you know, I don't know. I don't know how it's going to work. Do they all get together and say, you know, screw these companies? This the way, is it the socialist utopia? Maybe. Is it a dictatorial state? Maybe. Does it look at us like bugs? Maybe. Is it the greatest thing ever and we all live in harmony because of it? Maybe. Maybe. I just think people should be involved in this, not just the governments and the corporations. You need to have a voice in this. You need to be talking about it. You won't have a voice. If you don't understand it, you won't have a voice if you're not talking about it. You know, one person changing cell phone companies doesn't change America but almost nothing changes America when one person doesn't. One person goes to church. One person volunteers. One person supports a cause. One person despite the sites to spend, you know, $100 on something. Well, that doesn't change it.

1:05:01Then you add a second person and then the thousandth person and then the millionth person. That's how culture actually moves. Patriot mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. They've donated millions of dollars to organizations defending faith and family and freedom. You know, where did those millions come from? People making a very ordinary decision about who gets their cell phone bill. Okay. Who's sending it to you? Who you're sending your money to?

1:06:01audio series wherever you get your podcast. Ready to review. Help it climb the charts. The flag behind me today is something that usually hangs in my office. And it is hung there since about a year after 9-11. And it is the 9-11 flag, but it's actually a flag that helped inspire the 9-12 project. And it was given to me by two women who are listeners of mine, been listeners forever. And they're the greatest people. And they were living downtown after 9-11. And what they did on that day and what this flag did on that day is remarkable. And I've never

1:07:09told the story on the air that I know of. I've never told the story on the air. And I'm going to share that because I don't want 9-12, which was on Saturday. I don't want that just to pass by without mentioning it. So we're going to talk about that. First, I want to talk to you about what's happening in Syria. In Syria today, crowds have blocked the Aleppo Damascus highway. In Hama, they burned tires in the town square. In Idlib, they shut down the main roads for hours. Out east, they stopped the oil tankers themselves. Government has raised gasoline about 30 percent and diesel about 40 and called it temporary. Security forces are now firing live ammunition to clear the road. The Syrian pumps are, you know, they need about 325,000 barrels a day. Syria is currently pumping about 100,000 barrels a day. The difference has always been that it's getting

1:08:12imported. But now, because of the war, it's the cost of whatever the war says it costs. Now, look up from Syria. In Portugal, diesel hit an eye all-time high and drivers answered with a wall of horns on a bridge in Lisbon and then a slow convoy out to the refinery. Ireland just had its blockades and a no-confidence vote in the spring. Slovenia is rationing fuel, 50 liters a day per car. And Egypt has ordered the shops closed at nine at night and dimmed all of the street lights. Sri Lanka just went on to a four-day work week. All of this is oil, Bangladesh, sent the university's home to save power. Ethiopia cut fuel to an entire region. Thailand, their diesel went from 30 bot a liter to over 50 in six weeks. And here, Friday the national average for diesel in the United States crossed $6 a gallon. That's not a record for the

1:09:16season. That is a record for all time. First time it has ever happened. Before this war, it was about $3.70. Gasoline now is at 4.30. August inflation came in at 3.4 and gasoline alone was a third of the entire monthly increase. Up more than 27% on the year. Core prices are accelerating. Producers prices are running five and a half Saudi Arabia's output last month was its lowest since 1990. The straight of her moves used to move over 20 million barrels a day. I don't know how many barrels a day. They say it's under five. Sometimes I hear it's close to where it was. I don't know the truth. But that's the news. But the thing that you need to know actually starts in a forest. It was the summer of 2010. It was the hottest Russia had ever measured. And the peat bogs outside

1:10:21a Moscow caught fire and smoked and smoked closed the city. Okay. Out on the fields, the wheat was cooking. They lost a third of their entire crop of wheat. So what did Moscow do? Moscow did the same thing that we would do. It banned wheat exports. Keep our own bread cheap. Any government on earth would have done the same thing. Here's a problem. Egypt buys more wheat than any country in the world. And the price of wheat ran up. And the price of bread ran up right behind it. That December, a fruit seller in a small Tunisian town had his cart taken by a city inspector. Within a month, the government had stood 23 years. It had stood 23 years. It was gone. Two weeks later, Egypt and Libya, then Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Syria still isn't finished. It was called the Arab Spring. I learned this back then and had completely forgotten about it until I started putting this

1:11:28together today because Arab Spring 2.0, they think is beginning to happen again. Okay. In Egypt, they don't use the ordinary Arabic word for bread. They use their own word. And I think it's pronounced ayash. Ayash means life. But if you walk into a market and you ask for life, a man hands you bread. When the square filled up, the chant was three parts. Bread, freedom, and social justice. But bread was first. One more piece. There was a physicist in Massachusetts who had plotted the United Nations Food Price Index against unrest all over in the world. And he found the line. Under the line, people complained, but they they behaved themselves. Over the line, people get out into the street. Any country, any language, any flag. On the 13th of December, 2010, he sent that warning to the United States government. Four days later,

1:12:33he had the cart in Tunisia and the Arab Spring. Nobody buried his paper. It's worth worse than that. It arrived. And there was nothing anyone could do about it because by the time the number was visible, the wheat was already dead and the fire was in July and the square filled in January. So what are you going to do about it? Not one person in Terear Square was thinking about the Russian forest. But that's the lesson. Revolutions don't arrive introducing themselves as revolutions. They arrive as a burning forest, a war, a cargo ship that went down, wheat that doesn't arrive. Nine days ago, the UN published that same index. August 133.3. That's the highest in three years. Every category is up. Grain, vegetable, sugar, dairy, meat, wheat, 15% above last year.

1:13:39Now converted on today's scale that physicist line sits around 125. 125. Now we've been all over it for a while because America is not Syria. We pump our own oil. We're exporting it at records. Nothing is rationed. The shelves are full still. The food index is still well below the 2022 record. This year's world harvest is the second largest ever counted. So it's not famine. It's just a squeeze. It's a squeeze because of the pump. Because we can't comfort ourselves with the gasoline number. Gasoline is your Saturday. Diesel is your dinner. Diesel is the tractor. It's the combine. It's the semi that brings the milk into your town or the bread or the food or the cans or whatever it else you need to do your job.

1:14:42$6 diesel in September is next spring's grocery bill. It's already ordered. It's already sitting in a tank in Ohio. And better than 30% of the world's fertilizer moves through the same straight that the Navy is fighting over. And the world doesn't seem to care. Then everybody's saying the president has to do something. Tomorrow I'm going to give you something the president can do it. Cut your price of 37 cents per gallon. But I don't think he's going to do it. And it would piss the farmers off. And it would make our debt worse. I mean, we're stuck in this problem here. For 20 years, no matter which party came in into the White House, we would look at the number on the sign. We'd look at the gas station. And we would say something when it would be up because of policies of the green new deal. But nobody in the media would say anything. But the media is screaming about this. And quite

1:15:45honestly, everybody should be screaming about this. This is crazy what we're paying for gas. And what we're paying for diesel. Especially if people don't understand why it's that expensive. Because nobody's really brought them into this. You've heard bumper stickers. The president doesn't control the price of crude. That's true. It was true when Biden did his true now. But the man at doing the arithmetic at the pump, he's not asking for a seminar on causation. He doesn't care. He's telling you, I can't make this work. And if you answer him with a lecture or a bumper sticker, somebody else is going to answer him with a promise. And that somebody that did that, he'll go with them.

1:16:49And he'll say yes to things in Lisbon and Dublin. And he'll say yes to things here. Don't watch the price. Watch the word temporary. The Syrian energy ministry this morning called it a temporary increase. They're actually increasing the price. Ireland's ex-size cut was temporary. Germany's fuel tax cut two months. India was temporary. Thailand froze diesel for 15 days. Four days from now. Get this. The finance ministers of the European Union sit down in Dublin. Six of them. Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, Austria, Portugal. They have one item for the agenda. You know what it is? A European-wide tax on the profits of oil companies. Spain wants it permanent. People will carry an enormous amount of weight if you tell them the truth. And you tell them how long.

1:17:58What breaks a country isn't the burden. It's finding out that temporary was a word somebody used to just get through last Tuesday. And they didn't actually mean it. You can't, if you tax the oil companies in Europe. An extra 33%. What do you think they're going to do with that? You think they're just going to eat it? They're going to pass that on into the cost. They're not going to eat it. They might eat some of it, but they can't eat all of it. And so what do they do? Then your politicians will say, see, they're still being greedy. And then the next step is to nationalize the oil companies. And don't think they're not going to, they're not thinking about doing it. They're going to do it. And then you know how that ends. It ends in Venezuela with people eating zoo animals. It's amazing to me how stupid people are. We just keep falling for the same thing over and over again. But the fire was in Russia. The bread was in Egypt. But nobody put

1:18:59those things together until the square was on fire. You got to start putting things together. Look at the diesel number on the sign at the gas station tonight. That's the smoke. Look at the price of groceries, not today, but in the future. A fire is coming all over the world. It'd be nice if the rest of the world decided, hey, you know what? I want to, I want to go ahead and have some oil. Maybe I should help out. Maybe I should help out. Maybe I should help clear that straight. Maybe I should stop the Houthis with America. Maybe that would be a good idea. They're not going to. They're not going to. Why? I think they hate Donald Trump more than they love their own country and their own people. It's pretty remarkable. All right, let me tell you about cozy earth. Comfort has a strange quality. The better it is, the less you know it. By the way, do you know, you think Donald Trump is unpopular here? You know what the president of France, do you know what his

1:20:07approval rating is today? 16%. It's really easy if you have an approval rating of 16% and say, orange man, bad. Look at him. Look at him. Look at him. Anyway, I want you to think about a really comfortable chair. After five minutes, yeah, that's just sitting there admiring the chair. You've forgotten about it. Nothing digging into you. Nothing needs to be adjusted. Your attention has moved someplace else. Same thing should happen when you get into bed at night. That's why cozy earth is so great. Cozy earth sheets. Incredibly soft, breathable, temperature regulating. You get into bed, you get comfortable and you stop thinking about the sheets because there's nothing, you know, that's demanding your attention. You just notice them like, oh my gosh, this is so great. And then you stop thinking about it. That's actually a pretty high standard. You're going to spend seven or eight hours surrounded by these things. They should feel great at 11 o'clock. They should feel great at five in the morning.

So I just want to show you the insanity. If you think things are bad here, I want to show you the insanity of what's happening in January. Europe wrote into law that it finished, it was finished with Russian energy, not a sanction that has to be renewed every six months, but a permanent regulation. Russian liquefied gas is banned starting January 1st, pipeline gas next autumn.

1:22:16To me, that's the right call, but that's just, you know, 15 weeks away. What are they going to do in the winter? What are they going to do? When we asked Europe to, I don't know, can you help escort tankers through the strait? The answer was no. France not participating at all, not helping. Germany won't do so. Italy, Greece, Britain, no. No, they're cutting off every supplier that they have. They're going to add this week. They're going to add a 33% increase, a tax increase on their fuel over in Europe. I'm trying to understand what they're thinking. What are they thinking? Can you imagine, if you think it's bad now, can you imagine where we would be if they would have won? Because remember, they were shutting down all of our oil refineries,

1:23:17they're not our refineries, but our oil supply. They were shutting it down, they were going towards electricity while shutting all of our gas plants down to make electricity. We were going to solar. Can you imagine where we would be? We would be just as bad as Europe. And that's right around the corner. That will come back if you're not paying attention and voting for prosperity. Suffering from dry, tired, irritated eyes, don't let dry eyes win. Use sustain pro.

1:25:32The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glend-back program. So this weekend, Hassan Piker said this about just not understanding why everybody was so serious on 912 or 911. Listen, I will say this, this year's tenure around, and reception around 911 has was noticeably different. I don't know how the normies received it, and I wasn't in America.

1:26:33I wasn't in America, so like I only saw Twitter, and Twitter was far more serious about it this year. Oh god. And I think it's because they're politicizing 911. I think it is because this year 911 became a useful tool to attack a bunch of Muslim, some socialist, some not socialist candidates. Okay, stop. Hassan, stop pretending. Stop pretending that you're the normie here. You're not the normie. You hate America. You have said it. You have said America deserved 911. You are four Islamists getting into our own government to fundamentally change the United States of America. First of all, why was it different this year? I don't know,

1:27:3425 year anniversary might have something to do with it. Also, you know, a mayor that says globalize the intifada probably has something to do with it. The spread of Islamist ideology, and that same kind of ideology is in our city councils and in our Congress. And the fact that you don't have any idea what America really is. If no idea, you'll say America deserved 911, but you can't tell me anything about 912. I'm going to start there in 60 seconds. First, I don't want to make a video of somebody breaking into my house. I mean, you know, I suppose that's better than bad video of somebody breaking into my house, but you know, there's it's not the outcome I'm looking for. Somebody comes into my property intending to break in, you know, I want them on videotape, but I want something to happen to them before, you know, he gets through the door. That's what makes simply safe different. Their

1:28:35system is designed to help prevent break ins before it starts, rather than just document what happened afterward. Simply safe, AI powered cameras can detect suspicious activity around your property. It'll give you a live alert. And it comes from a US-based agent. And that agent doesn't just watch. They can access what's happening. They can speak through the camera system to the intruder and tell me they've been spotted in 911. It's been called in police. I've already been dispatched because the best recording of burglary is still just a recording of an attempted burglary. You know, I want safety that starts before the break in.

Make sure you let them know. You heard it on the Glend back program. There is no safe. Like simply safe. I want to take you back 25 years ago this weekend.

1:29:41You know, for two days, the sky's over America was empty. And it was the first two days because I think it lasted about two weeks. But the first two days, it was really freaky. You would walk outside, you look out a habit, and there was nothing there. There was no sounds. There were no airplanes. There was nothing in the sky. And then you looked around at all of the houses. And there were flags on all of the houses, on houses that never had flown a flag before. And not big ones. You know, the $4 kind, you get to the hardware store. And the hardware stores were sold out by Wednesday afternoon all over the country. You could not find a flag. The day after 9-11, there were lines around the block at the Bud Blood banks. People stood there for six hours. Between September 10th and October 14th, the Red Cross took in 928,233 pints of blood. That's 300,000 more of the same week, you know, the year before.

1:30:54Most people don't know that fewer than 300 units were actually needed to treat the wounded in New York and Washington because there were no survivors, or almost very few. Almost 50,000 pints had to be destroyed because there was nothing they could do with them. A million people stood in line for six hours to give a part of their body. And most of it went into the trash. And nobody told them to do it. If you had walked down that line, you know, and I don't care how long people, if they had just gotten there or they had been waiting there for hours, if you told them your blood's not going to be needed. And you gave them a choice, they would have stayed. They would have stayed. That's not charity. Charity is a decision. What happened on 9-12 was a reflex. It showed us who we really were.

1:31:57Then came the school trusts. Within weeks, somebody set up a fund for the children. And it's not like it is now where you can just set these things up. That was a big deal. The family of freedom scholarship fund. Bill Clinton and Bob Dole chaired it together eventually. And nobody thought it was strange because that month, nobody thought to ask money came in for more than 20,000 different sources. 108 million dollars for the children that had lost a parent. It's still paying out 25 years later. 191 million dollars to 3,865 kids. It doesn't close until 2030. And somewhere right now, in the country, is a young woman starting this semester, this fall with tuition covered by a man who wrote a check in October of 2001. She never met him and he's probably gone by now.

1:32:59I'm so sick of hearing for 25 years. People explain how America is never any good. Founded in sin, built on theft, the whole catalog shut up. Were you there on September 12th? Because a country's character is not what it says from a podium. It's what it does in the hour when no one is in charge. On September 12th, the president was in the air. FAA was grounding the entire planet. The Pentagon had a hole in it. There wasn't one office in Washington with a bandwidth to tell 280 million people what to do. Nobody was to... And you know what, when they finally did, what was it? A few days later, come up with the advice on what to do. I think it was a Sunday, 9-11 was on a

1:34:00Tuesday. On Sunday, the president came out and said, the stock market's going to open by stock. Go shopping. That's what he told us to do. So we did things without them. Firemen in Ohio got into trucks and drove east without being asked. Restaurant owners downtown cooked until the kitchen was empty and then went bought more food with their own money. Men stood at the barricades for hours. Just to applaud the trucks going by. Eight-year-olds ran lemonade stands and mailed the cash to New York and an envelope addressed to nobody in particular. Here's later, I started the 9-12 project. That's what it was all about. Started in March of 2009. I got on TV and said, I think we all believe a handful of things. And I think you're being made to feel like you're the only one who does believe these things.

1:35:02Or here, nine principles and 12 values. Agree with seven out of the nine and you're not crazy and you're not alone. I still believe that. There are more of us than there are of those who say America is trash. The principles America is good. I believe in God. He's the center of my life. The family is sacred. If you break a law, you need to pay the price. Justice is blind. I've worked hard for my money. I can decide who I want to share it with and who I don't want to share it with. And it's not an American to disagree with one another or authority. The government works for me. I don't answer to them. Sir, pretty universal principles. The values honesty, reverence, hope, thrift, humility, charity, sincerity, moderation, hard work, courage, personal responsibility, gratitude.

1:36:04You know, as when you look at this list, not one of them is policy? You're not going to vote for thrift, although I'd like it to be on the ballot. Nobody's ever introduced a bill on humility. Every one of those things is done by the individual and usually where no one can see you do it. So it wasn't political. Of course, it didn't stay that way. And you know, I'm not saying I didn't have anything to do with it, but it wasn't about politics. It never was about politics. Nobody was in charge. The list never changed. Read that list again and tell me you found a party in it. And this is our character. Do you know, on December 6, 1917, Halifax Harbor, Nova Scotia,

1:37:11two ships collide, one of them loaded with munitions for the war. It was the largest man-made explosion in the world before the atomic bomb. Two square kilometers of a city, gone, 2000 dead, 9,000 hurt, a blizzard coming that night. Boston got a telegram. They didn't wait for anybody. A train filled up that evening, a train full of doctors and nurses and supplies pushed north through the storm, got there ahead of the help from Halifax's own capital. The next Christmas, Nova Scotia sent Boston a tree. And then everybody who had been there got old and it stopped for 50 years. Because they had sent us a tree. They sent Boston to tree every year. And then when everybody died, they stopped sending the tree. Until 1971, somebody started it up again. You don't have it missed a year since.

1:38:13Every autumn, the province picks a spruce. Families nominate their own trees. Of their own land, and they cut it with a blessing and schoolchildren singing, and they truck it 700 miles to Boston. That's the tree on Boston Commons. Not one living person in Nova Scotia was in that harbor. Not one person in Boston remembers the train. It doesn't matter. Somebody built the habit and handed it to people who weren't there. That's the answer. What has always come out of catastrophe? It doesn't. It lasts through a catastrophe because the fire is the thing that makes everybody standing in front of you the only thing on your schedule. But once you put the fire out, it goes back to being, you know, that's this the guy your neighbor who has the wrong side it is yard. Unity is a feeling. Gratitude is a feeling.

1:39:16Resolve is a feeling. Feelings are weather. They have a shelf life of about a pint of blood. But habit is a different animal. A habit doesn't ask you how you feel. You just do it on the same day every year, whether you feel it or not and you hand it to a kid. Nova Scotia is still cutting down trees. You want the country to last? Pick one thing, put a date on it. Blood bank. On your birthday every year, take somebody with you. One kid's tuition. For a family you'll never meet. A meal at the same firehouse every September. The neighbor whose car has been moved in a week. Saturday morning you go over and you knock. Name the day, write it on the calendar. Write where your children can see it. Involve your children. That's the whole thing. That's the entire mechanism. We gave until it hurt when we had a reason.

1:40:19The people who did that didn't die off and they didn't move away. They're your neighbors. One of them is three doors down. Maybe one of them is decided you just can't stand anymore. But the buildings aren't burning and I think that's a good thing. If we choose to go anyway, more in a minute. Your identity is being used for all kinds of things.

Pieces of your identity are everywhere. They're in databases, accounts, applications, website, old passwords, companies you did business with 10 years ago. You have absolutely no idea

1:41:20who has access to what anymore. That can be a problem. You have to be really, really careful. You need to be careful. Identity theft has become a different problem.

So Sean Davis at the federal is posted a newly declassified CIA document.

1:42:20This is pretty newsworthy. George W. Bush was personally warned in May of 2001 via a top secret memo marked for president only that Osama bin Laden was planning spectacular attacks against the US using hijacked aircraft. The May 20, the May 22, 2001 memo prepared exclusively for president George W. Bush was entitled captured terrorist details hostage plot and noted that planning is underway for three separate operations. The May 22, 2001 memo prepared exclusively for president George Wabbalah. We have it up on the screen now for any, let's see I'm just going to read it here, a ledge plot with Osama bin Laden, the Egyptian Islamic jihad, to kidnap Americans, claims planning is underway for three separate operations to take US diplomats and civilians hostage. The conspirators who want to force the release of the blind chic and other US held prisoners may

1:43:25hijack an aircraft or storm a US embassy. Several factories suggest a joint terrorist operation is possible. They may have won over bin Laden as an ally for some type of terrorist operation. bin Laden's al-Qaeda organization to Egyptian for the time of the alleged operation, blacked out and blacked out. The casing and selection of targets reportedly has not occurred and then the rest of it is blacked out. Does that mean George Bush knew? Because George Bush knew, you know, does that mean George Bush knew? What are you going to do with that information? This is the really bad part about that. What are you going to do with that information? The information was they're going to hijack planes and take hostages. So what do you do? You don't have the TSA. You don't have a system in place. You can't check people at the airport. You don't have that system at all. What do you do? Check people at the airport? How do you do that? You're going to suggest that

1:44:28we're going to put in the surveillance that we have now before 9-11. Not going to happen. Would never happen. None of us would have gone for it. None of us would have gone. We all would have said this is a conspiracy. The president is trying to monitor everybody. Everybody went to it crazy and they would have been right to. They didn't storm a US embassy. They knew something about airplanes and they knew that it was going to be hijacked. That happened. What people don't understand is no one. No one thought it was. I mean, I was watching the video of this last weekend and I was seeing the people as it was happening live. When the first plane hit, everybody was like, oh my gosh, it's a blah, blah, blah. When the second plane hit, we didn't know that that was a tear. We didn't even think about the first plane being a terrorist attack. The first one hit and how does the pilot, if he had a heart attack, what happened to the co-pilot? If he's still

1:45:32barely alive, wouldn't he have put it into the water instead of him? We weren't thinking this was deliberate by an enemy of the United States. We couldn't figure that one out. The second one hit and you'll see all the video. The second one hits and everybody's like, oh my gosh, and we knew immediately that was not something we thought of back then. We didn't think people would do something like that. I know some people like, oh, CIA, I thought about, yeah, I know. The CIA thinks about a lot of stuff. But as you can see, the captured terrorist details hostage plot. We thought they were going to take him hostage and those things used to end the same way every time. The hostage takers would be dead, everybody would be in Cuba, they'd get a little sun, and they'd come home. That's the way those things usually ended. Not the way 9-11 did. All right, more in a minute.

1:46:42All right. I want to talk to you a little bit about chapter. There's a very human tendency that when you don't understand something, you look for a shortcut. You buy the expensive one because it must be better. Pick the cheapest one because at least you know you're saving money. Or you just choose as one with the name you recognize. Does that not sound? Does that not sound like you in a voting booth? Because it does me a little bit. Which name do I recognize here? It's a judge. Well, it may work when you're buying toothpaste, but not Medicare and certainly not voting. When the question of the plan, which one is best for you, you gotta get it right. I mean, because you could be stuck with this. Your doctors, your prescriptions, your health needs. Chapter will give you an advisor who can actually help you compare all of your options and look how all of these options fit your life, your doctors, your medications, all of the stuff. Chapters, advisors are not paid to push in one plan or another. Chapters, the only Medicare advisor

1:47:44that can compare every plan nationwide and they're not paid to push those things. Lice and advisor, we'll look at your doctor's prescriptions in your budget. They're saving people about $1,100 a year. So go to chapter, pound 250 keyword chapter, pound 250 keyword chapter. Get Glenn's powerful Charlie Kirk tribute now on demand at glenbeck.com slash torch. So Friday was the anniversary of 9-11 Saturday was 9-12 and if you've listened to me for any period of time, you might remember the 9-12 project, which was happening around the same time as the Tea Party and the 9-12 project kind of got mixed in with the Tea Party, but it wasn't in my opinion.

1:48:52It was never about politics. It was about principles. We have to put our principles and our values together, state them, learn them, learn our history, or we're just voting for people and it's all about personalities. So learn the principles and the values. And there were these great clubs all over the country and people had summer camps for kids and groups were getting together and reading the founding documents and everything together. It was an amazing, amazing thing. And then it all done by you. I remember Rupert Murdock called me in. He's like, what are you doing here? You're going to run for president and I'm like, no. And he's like, what do you seem to be gathering a lot of power? And I hadn't even thought of it that way. And I'm like, no, no. And he's like, well, what are you building? And I'm like, I'm not building anything. I just want people to learn this stuff and then they take it. I don't, I'm not even a leader of this thing. I've

1:49:57just, I just put it out and they're doing it. 912 meant a lot to me because it was the day that we kind of really came together and I saw who we were. On 911, we were afraid. But there were certain things that happened on 911 that showed the 912 spirit, even though everybody was afraid. And the flag behind me, this, this is framed for my office and it hangs behind my desk in my office and it has for years. And it was given to me by a couple. And in fact, I cannot find their name. I can't believe I didn't attach it to the back of this framed flag. So if it happens to you, please write to me and tell me because I need you to write down the story. So I get it exact because it'll eventually go to the museum. But it was given to me by this great couple in Lower Manhattan. And this is, this was not their flag. 911 happens. And you know, it happens in the morning. And

1:51:06you know, if you remember, it was, everything was just caked. It was like it had two or three inches of snow on the ground or ash on the ground. It was everywhere in Lower Manhattan. And everything in Lower Manhattan was shut down. You couldn't, you couldn't go anywhere. And so this couple who lived down there, they were outside and they were walking and they were just seeing, you know, the devastation. And they saw this woman and she was, she was walking down the street and she had almost like a veil. She had this flag wrapped around her. And they went over and started talking to her because she was clearly not doing well. And at first, they couldn't get any information out of her on who she was or anything else. And they said, you know, why don't you come over to our house and just catch your breath because she was so distraught.

1:52:13So they brought her over to her house, which is a couple blocks away. And they were sitting there in the kitchen and they were talking to her. And she calmed down. She had cup of tea and they spent a couple of hours with her. And she started telling her story about what she had seen. And she had gone and grabbed her flag for protection. She had grabbed that symbol that now is so divisive. But at the time on that day, it wasn't one party or another. It was America. And it stood for something. And as everything was coming down out of the sky, everything that was happening, she reached for her flag to put it over herself,

1:53:17to protect her. She said in that kitchen for a while and they talked and she was strong again. Strangers, they folded up the flag. And they were walking her back out and they stood on their stoop. And she takes a couple of steps off the stairs and starts making her way. And she turns at them and she says, oh no, no, wait. Are you going to be going out? And they said, yeah, we'll probably be going out again. Oh, you need this for protection. She handed the flag to my two friends, my two listeners.

1:54:21And they gave it to me. I love that story. For several reasons. When she was lost, when she feared the most, she reached for the symbol of goodness and decency and honor as we once understood it. Doesn't mean that that woman, I don't know how she voted. She might have thought we had done horrible things at Vietnam or whatever. I don't even know. She lived in lower Manhattan. Odds are. She wasn't voting my way. But she still looked at the flag. As safety. And on the worst day of any of our lives.

1:55:29In a place where this couple didn't know her from Adam, in New York City, where somebody mumbling to themselves, somebody absolutely incoherent. Somebody covered in dust and ash, so you don't know who they are at all. Two women take her into their home. And they clean her up. They calmer down. They feed her and they talk to her. I was lost and then I was found. Our country is lost. Are we going to find it again? Tomorrow I'm going to talk to you about some things.

1:56:34I'm going to talk to you about some stats that I saw that are just terrifying to me at least. You know that 30 is 30 or 37% of Americans consider themselves influencers? What? 37% Like 30% say they're podcasters. What does an influencer do? What are the qualifications for being an influencer? I'll bet you the majority of that number is on the lower end of the spectrum. It's the 20 somethings, early 30 somethings. I'm an influencer. Are you? Hi, really? What have you influenced lately?

1:57:34What makes you an influencer? We're so... We're so... Shallow. We are just so unbelievably shallow. We need to find some depth. We need to find some things that matter. Have you seen the friends stats lately? How many friends Americans have? How many we used to have? How many we have now? Do you know that it takes about 200 hours to become a friend? 200 hours invested one-on-one. 40 hours with somebody and you're considered an acquaintance. A scientist actually followed this.

1:58:34I don't know how they were following all this, but they did. They followed this and they saw how people interacted with each other. And this is like 20 years ago. And they found that in 40 hours of being with somebody, it's an acquaintance. 80 to 100 hours. I can't remember what it was. And then 200 is a friend. How are we spending 200 hours with each other? We don't spend any time with each other anymore. And yet we all think we have friends. We've hollowed everything out. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think a politician is going to fix us. I mean, it's going to take politics to fix the political. And there's a lot of fixing there, but that's not what's going to fix us. We're not, America's not going to be great if the people aren't great.

1:59:38I tweeted something out this this weekend. This only ends two ways. You know that, right? Have you thought of, have you actually wargamed this out at all? There's only two ways this story ends. We either come back together and we find a way to forgive each other and to come back to common sense or one side kills the other side. We become Rwanda where one side says the other side is evil, go kill them and they do. That it either ends in roundups or in forgiveness and coming back together. I know what side I'm rooting for. I'm rooting for the, hey, let's get back together. I don't think the roundups sound like fun. But that's going to take effort to do it. It's going to have to, we are going to have to have conversations with each other like that. Hey, can you just wargamed this out with me?

2:00:39I know you hate my guts right now. I don't hate you. I don't want to hate you. We disagree with each other. But can I just wargamed this out with you? How does it end? How does this end? If I hate you and you hate me and we have teams, how does this end? Because it's pretty clear. Only two ways. I would hope everybody listening to me. I would hope that you're part of that team. And I don't know how to do it. But you're part of that team that is thinking every day, I want to be on the good side. I want to be on the, hey, let's get back together. Side. That should be our goal. All right, more in a minute. You know, the minimum payment on a credit card is one of the most deceptive numbers in your financial life because it's designed to look manageable. You look at anything, okay, I can handle this. You know, this month and you probably can.

2:01:40The problem is there's another month coming. And when your credit card is when the debt is like 20% interest or more, it's getting expensive. Have you seen now what our interest is on the national debt? Yeah, it's a problem. If you're a homeowner, this is where I want to talk to you about American financing. You may have spent years building equity in your home while high interest debt has been piling up. Now, you've got a really low interest rate on your home. You don't want to get rid of that. That's the worst thing you can do. American financing has a special program now where you do not have to reset your current loan on your home. So you keep that low interest. But then you're going to use that to be able to get another loan that is going to be able to be at maybe 5% interest to take your credit card interest from, 20, 25% down to 5% interest. That's going to save you a butt load of money. On average, people in this audience save $830 a month. I don't know. That seems like it give you a lot of breathing room, wouldn't it?

2:02:42You'd at least be able to pay for the gas this week. Zero upfront fees. You might even be able to delay up to two mortgage payments. Lock in your lower rate before September. Please do that. I don't think they're going to lower interest rates. 80090620440, 80090620440, American Financing.net. NMLS12334, NMLS consumer access.org.

That's just Tuesday. More Glenn Beck, straight ahead. I don't know when we reach the point where we have to investigate the news before we can actually read the news, but we're definitely there.

2:03:43And I see a story and I think, okay, but what actually happened? Not what does the left say, what happened, not what does the right say, but what actually happened? What do we actually know? This has been so frustrating and that's how I ended up using free spoke. You can see the coverage from the left, the right, and the middle, and where the same facts start showing up across all three, then you know, okay, that's it. You got something solid. You can decide for yourself at that point, based on the facts. And that's the point. Search something controversial like who controls the media? On free spoke, you'll get news and information from across the spectrum, full picture, not just what the algorithm says you want to see. I don't need somebody else deciding what I'm supposed to think. I will find the facts and I will decide. I've got free spoke pulled up right now. Free spoke, one word, free, free speech, free spoke.

Inside of Joss writes in, but I'm sorry, but whatever 912 spirit you're talking about, I think was BS. Did the country rally together and actually change anything, or it was just all cume by yaw and let's hold hands. You didn't do anything. That's a little hostile, Joss, I said, maybe put a smiley face after it. I disagree with you. I really do disagree with you. First of all, the 912 project and the tea party did affect people. It changed the election in 2010. It actually was the beginning of Donald Trump.

2:05:44Yes, we haven't won, but do you know how long this has been going on? And I do believe it's growing. The cume by yaw stuff, it didn't change anything. Well, maybe not, but it changed me and it changed a lot of people that were involved. And I have news for you. If you don't want to be part of the round them all up people, you better work on you. Just change you because it's really hard to love your neighbor right now. Really hard, but we're commanded to do that. How do we do that? It's good to be the king right, my town was filled with American flags outside the houses on 911. I was happy to see it. There are towns all across the country like that and we are not going away. You know what? I agree. I mean, we outnumber them. Of course, they do have the government and AI probably on their side. So it's going to be an uphill battle. It's an uphill battle, especially this November.

2:06:47Because our side sucks so much. But love, peace, cume by yaw. Let's just get out and do the right thing and vote. We'll talk to you tomorrow. May God save the Republic.
