Glenn Beck, Pat Gray, and Jeff Fisher dissect a $122 million fraud scheme involving Evaldis Remasakis and analyze AI's "nightmare scenario" where unchecked US-China competition could create a Skynet-like threat. They critique DEI mandates at NASA hindering lunar progress as the US races to build a 2030 moon reactor for Mars missions, contrasting this with China's far-side landing success. The hosts also debate Trump's potential Putin meeting without Zelensky, RFK Jr.'s $500 million mRNA funding cuts, and WNBA incidents involving thrown objects, ultimately questioning if current geopolitical and scientific strategies prioritize ideology over survival.

Putin, Trump, and Tariffs00:11:29
But because of you, Pre-Born has helped rescue over 38,000 babies this year alone.
Think about that.
Tens of thousands of children who got to take their first breath, who now have a chance to grow up, to laugh, to dream, because you cared enough to act.
For just $28, you can provide an ultrasound to a mother in crisis.
When she sees her baby on that screen, when she hears that heartbeat, she's twice as likely to choose life at that point.
And Pre-Born doesn't stop there.
They continue walking with her, providing practical help and emotional support long after the baby is born.
As abortion continues to rise, Pre-Born is expanding their life-affirming care in the darkest corners of our nation to help more hurting women and save more babies.
So, if you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to help save babies in a really big way?
Your tax-deductible donation of $15,000 would help place a machine in a needy women's center, saving countless lives for years to come.
So, if you can help in whatever way, maybe it's a dollar, maybe it's $15,000, whatever you can afford, dial pound250, say the keyword baby, that's pound250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash back.
That's preborn.com slash back.
Sponsored by Preborn.
All right.
Welcome.
So much going on on this planet right now.
I thought we'd start with something kind of fun.
You know, the newly redesigned, they're actually building a ballroom now at the White House, which is kind of fun.
Trump has been traveling the world and seeing these mega ruler mansions of other countries.
And I think he feels like, man, I live in a dump.
Yeah.
Exactly.
A 52,000 square foot dump.
Unacceptable.
That cannot be.
That can't stand.
And it's not.
It's not standing.
So that's why we're building a 90,000 square foot ballroom.
But here's the thing.
And this is really amazing.
He is paying for the bill.
He, in part, I think he's going to get donors from, you know, maybe some rich friends, but that's incredible.
The tax dollars aren't going to it.
So, you know, even when you add the 90,000 to the 52, you still only got 140,000 square foot dump.
It's still a dump.
It is.
It is legitimately a dump.
When you consider the fact that Buckingham Palace is something like 840,000 square feet.
I mean, the Saudi place was, I mean, there's several places.
Then there's one in Brunei.
Brunei, I think, is the biggest.
2.1 million square feet of their palace.
I mean, we don't need that, but that's not the point.
That's not the point.
That's not the point, Peter.
This is America.
Thank you.
It's the greatest nation in the history.
We have a builder as president of the United States of America.
We need a little addition.
So anyway, he fixed up the Rose Garden.
They put a little patio out there where people can go.
I think she was involved.
Yeah.
Because they got rid of all the grass and everything, right?
So that's put in the concrete with the new tables.
Yeah, but it looks nice.
Yeah, it's okay.
It would look nice.
They've got tables and umbrellas.
I don't know what I expected, but I expected better.
You expected solid gold tables, didn't you?
And the umbrella could do.
I mean, what he's done to the Oval Office, you expect might happen in the Rose Garden as well.
But he apparently didn't.
But there is some fixing upping going on in the White House right now.
And so I don't have a problem with it as long as we're, I mean, we're not paying for it.
We're going to have to raise the flagpoles if he starts building upper deck additions to the White House, man.
Those flagpoles are not tall enough right now.
But those were actually really tastefully done, I thought.
They were.
People were complaining about it.
But yeah, and I like it.
But can we do this?
Are we in an economic spot where it's okay to be doing this?
Well, especially since we're not paying for it, yes.
But the other thing is, Stephen Moore went through what's going on right now with the economy.
And this is pretty amazing.
I don't know if you've seen these economic numbers, but check this out from Stephen Moore.
25th percentile is the lowest income.
75th percentile is the highest income.
What I find fascinating about this, Mr. President, is every income group did better.
The red is President Trump.
The blue is President Biden.
Every single income group did better under President Trump.
But what's really amazing is look what happened under Biden.
The lowest income group lost income under Biden.
They were poor four years after Biden's presidency.
No gain virtually whatsoever for the middle class.
And the rich was the only group that did better under Biden, which is ironic because Biden keeps saying he was trying to get rid of income inequality.
He made income inequality worse, not better.
It was President Trump that reduced income inequality.
These numbers just came out, by the way.
And I'm timely.
And these are the numbers.
And I just showed you in percentage terms.
Mr. President, these are the numbers in dollar terms.
So even the lowest income, 25th percent, gained about $4,000 income.
That's a lot for a lower-income family.
$6,400 for the middle class and almost $10,000 for the richest.
So you can see every income group did better under Trump than Biden by a wide portion.
Wow.
That's the sort.
Well, that was the first term, right?
We didn't even get to the second term yet because I think those numbers so far, what has been six, seven months, are even better, are up as well.
Yeah.
It's pretty amazing because that's what Biden said he was all about was the little guy.
And they didn't want to give tax cuts to the richest Americans and they didn't deserve them.
And it's all about the little guy.
Is it?
Huh.
Then how did the little guy lose money during your reign of terror?
How did that happen?
He hated the middle class, the middle class anyway.
He absolutely hates Americans.
There you go.
Let's just sum it up with what it actually is.
President Trump also discussed the meeting of him with Vladimir Putin, which could be coming up as soon as next week.
And he addressed whether or not that might include Zelensky.
Does Putin have to meet with Zelensky in order and before you and Putin have to meet?
No.
That's actually important because President Putin said this morning he was pretty dismissive of this idea of meeting with President Pinnins.
Who was President Putin was?
I don't know.
I didn't hear.
If you to meet with him, he doesn't have to agree to meet with Zelensky.
Is that what you're saying?
No, he doesn't.
No, no.
So wouldn't you think that means that?
They would like to meet with me and I'll do whatever I can to stop the killing.
So last month, they lost 14,000 people killed last month.
Every week is 4,000 or 5,000 people.
So I don't like long waits.
I think it's a shame.
And they're mostly soldiers.
They're Ukrainian and Russian soldiers and some people from the cities where missiles are lobbed in and you'll lose 35, 40 people a night, which is terrible.
But no, mostly it's soldiers.
And you're talking about, on average, 20,000 a month.
20,000 people are dying a month.
Young, generally young people, soldiers.
Wow.
That's really sad.
Really, really sad.
And again, he seems to be the only one concerned about it.
As far as leaders on the world stage, do you hear anybody talking about that ever?
He genuinely cares about the loss of life, and he wants to put a stop to it.
And so he'll meet with Putin with Zelensky or without Zelensky.
He just needs to get together with Putin because I think he really believes that he can change Putin's mind.
You know, he's a great negotiator.
I would think so, too.
And he has every confidence that he can fix this.
And I really do feel like he thought he would already have it done.
Oh, for sure.
He wanted that done.
And that's why when earlier in the day yesterday, one of President Trump's new people said that they wouldn't do the meeting without Putin and Zelensky.
And then a little bit later on, that's when Donald Trump was like, yeah, no, I'll meet with him alone.
Right.
No, I'll meet with him alone because we need to make this needs to happen.
Because he'll do whatever it takes to happen.
The madness.
So if the madness doesn't stop, then you're going to continually.
It's over a million people.
But today's the day, right?
Today's the final day anyway that he gave for ending the war without that.
And I mean, that's when, I guess, all the tariffs and secondary tariffs take effect.
So anybody that does business with Russia gets, you know, tariffs on top of tariffs, I guess, how they're going to do it.
So, you know, okay.
All right.
Yeah.
And I think Putin is aware that Trump is really serious about the secondary tariffs that are going to happen to people if you don't get on board with the sanctions that we're going to one of our strong allies, India.
He's already done that.
Yeah.
For buying their oil.
Yeah.
He assessed another 25% tariff on them.
And that's amazing because I know we're pretty strong allies.
They're very, very friendly with President Trump.
They love him.
And so for him to slap this 25% extra tariff on them is pretty amazing.
Now maybe they say, hey, well, fine, we'll get our oil from you guys.
Yeah, no problem.
And so the 25% slapped on it for the Russia.
They can make that go away.
Hopefully.
Yeah, I hope that works out.
I'm not wanting to.
I don't want to have India against us.
No.
Yeah, it's the most popular.
They're one of the countries on the planet that have a lot of people.
You think 1.4 billion is a lot.
Is that a lot?
They keep adding.
They keep adding more and more people every day.
It's incredible they passed China.
Isn't it?
Yeah, I think it's every time now.
I mean, they've passed it enough where they're looking back now.
Yeah, I think so.
Because for a while, it was back and forth and they were really one month it was China, then, you know, two months later it's India.
But if I think we may be at the point now where they've actually just, they're looking behind them now.
We're the leader.
UN Relocation to Nairobi00:15:13
Yeah, and it got so bad in China that I think, didn't they remove their one-child policy?
No, I think that was a while, quite some time ago.
So a while ago, they said, okay, no, you can have more than one child.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, all countries are hurting with their replacements.
There's no doubt about that.
I mean, we are struggling with that as well.
Japan is struggling with that.
Our replacement rate is 2.1 children per family.
2.1.
We're at 1.5.
There you go.
Yeah.
Which is huge.
It doesn't sound six-tenths of a percent.
That's huge when it comes to per capita and the fact that we're nowhere near where we need to be to replace ourselves.
Look, I did my part.
Me too.
I did my part.
So did I?
I mean, how many more than six can I do?
Well, Elon's.
It kind of is possible.
Yeah.
14.
So a little beyond.
So see, you could do more than that.
I guess I could.
I could do better.
I should be ashamed of myself.
All right.
Triple 8727 BECK.
We're coming up in one day.
You know, I believe in the right to protect myself, my family, and my home.
But what that might mean in the worst possible moment when you just have seconds to make a decision, and that decision could change your life forever, that's why you need a Burna launcher.
It gives you options.
It's a powerful non-lethal defense tool that fires pepper projectiles, incapacitating a threat from up to 60 feet away without taking life.
It's legal in all 50 states.
It doesn't require a permit anywhere.
And it gives you the confidence to know that if trouble ever finds you, you're ready without having to carry the weight of something that you might regret.
So there's just peace of mind that comes with knowing that you're prepared and that there's an even greater peace in knowing that your preparation doesn't have to cost someone else everything.
The Burna launcher isn't just about defense.
It's about choosing a way forward that's responsible, effective, and that's right for you.

10 seconds station id i think glenn and uh stew had this woman on um a few days ago who's bypassing hamas Speaking of wars right now that need to end.
Yeah.
She is getting food to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
And in order to do that, you have to bypass Hamas because they're stealing it all.
Yeah.
I mean, we heard Mike Johnson tell us a couple weeks ago, two or three weeks ago, that 94,000 truckloads of food from Israel into the Gaza had been taken.
That is incredible number.
94,000.
No wonder.
You're right.
There's some problems with food in the area, but the rest of the world is trying to blame that on Israel, and they're not the ones responsible for it.
And this lady is doing something about it.
Yes, she is.
She found some alternate routes around where Hamas is located so that she could get food to the northern part of the Gaza Strip and actually feed starving Gazans.
It's an incredible story.
She's 30.
She's from eastern Jerusalem.
Her name is Sarah Awada, and she's received almost no media attention at all for her aid initiative.
And she's fed over 100,000 Gazan families.
So she partners with MENA AID.
It's a regional partner coalition operating under the Multi-Faith Alliance in cooperation with Israeli authorities.
Wait, what?
Wait, the Israeli authorities are helping you get food to the Gazans?
Amazing.
Huh?
What?
So her team built a system that moved hundreds of trucks of food and supplies into Gaza that bypassed Hamas and private contractors who were turning hunger into a business for themselves.
So they confiscate the loads and then they try to sell that money.
So in June, she decided to scale up the distribution in the area at a time when no one was able to get anything into Gaza because of looting and chaos, multiple layers of obstruction on the ground.
And so she mapped out these alternate routes.
And she's been working with trusted logistics partners, many of whom were Israelis, she says, and got the food to the people who were starving and needed it most.
So pretty amazing what she's doing.
And of course, because she's doing this, she's gotten all kinds of death threats from the Hamas holes who don't want the food to get to their own people.
I mean, I don't know how the rest of the world has not condemned Hamas for the way that they've conducted themselves and the fact that they're starving their own people.
And there's never been, do you know that the UN has passed 154 resolutions against Israel since I think it was 2017.
Just 154.
Just 154, though, condemnations of Israel and what they're doing.
And the number with Hamas or the Palestinian Authority or anybody in any position of authority with the Palestinians, that number is bring down the one and carry the two.
None.
Zero.
Yeah, none.
Unbelievable.
So this is what the Israelis have to deal with.
And I don't understand how they, you know, this, none of this news ever gets out to people.
And so just spread this well-kept secret to people as much as you possibly can and help spread this news.
There's an author podcaster, Coleman Hughes, who talked about Hamas and what their goal is.
Their goal right now is to increase the suffering of the Palestinians because then they can blame it all on Israel.
And they think that's to their advantage.
So that's why you've seen the images of emaciated Gazan children.
And you know now who's responsible for it.
It's Hamas.
And they're only too happy to make this happen and then tell the world, it's Israel.
See, they're stealing all of our food and we can't get the food to our people.
So what happens?
I mean, Netanyahu has said, right, he wants, he's going to take over Gaza and he's going to get rid of the Hamas friends, the Hamas holes, whatever you want to call them.
I do want to call them that.
And then they're going to do securities to keep the other Gazans safe.
Right.
I mean, that's his now is his.
I guess so.
Yeah.
I guess so.
Okay.
I mean, okay.
I mean, if it stops the war, good.
And if it gets the, it's unbelievable that we have not gotten all the hostages back.
That is incredible to me.
And we hear almost nothing about him anymore.
I know.
The only reason we've heard about him lately is because of the Hamas propaganda.
Right.
I don't know how they thought that was going to be to their advantage, but they've shown us the starving hostages.
What are we doing?
Incredible.
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
All right.
Triple 8-727-BECK.
More coming up.
This is Glenn Beck.
On September 11th, 2001, a young firefighter named Stephen Siller ran through the Brooklyn battery tunnel in full gear to get to the Twin Towers and help save lives.
Well, he never made it home.
But the promise that came out of his sacrifice has been echoing ever since.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation was built on that promise to honor our heroes by taking care of their families.
That means providing mortgage-free homes to the spouses and children of fallen first responders and military service members.
It means building specifically and specially adapted smart homes for our most severely injured veterans, giving them back independence and dignity.
And that means standing with those who run toward danger long after the headlines have faded.
Every gift to Tunnel to Towers is a piece of that promise.
It's a way of saying to the men and women who risk everything for us, we will not forget you.
We will not leave you behind.
We'll see this through.
Never forget the sacrifices of our country's greatest heroes.
Donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at t2t.org.
That's t, the number two, t.org.
Big changes ahead, transforming history and how we learn about it.
track at glennbeck.com yeah pat gray jeff fisher for glenn today uh trip 888-727-B-E-C-K.
We're just talking a bit about the UN.
and their resolutions against Israel and what a worthless, stinking organization the UN is.
They're still here in the United States.
Leave.
How many times have we said that?
Get the UN out of the U.S.
So earlier this week, I see a headline that says the United Nations are going to relocate from New York to Nairobi, Kenya.
Okay, that can't be real.
My first reaction would have been real.
After I said, good.
Then you're like, wait, that's too good to be true.
That's too good to be true.
So now we find out that they were going to move their headquarters of UNICEF, UN Women, and UNFPA from New York to Nairobi by next year.
Do you know what UNFPA is?
I do not.
Female People Association.
So Female People Association.
I don't know what it is.
Obviously, it's not the Female People Association.
That's going to be at Nairobi.
And they're talking about because they believe that it will cut costs and bring services closer to the people, shift their power to globalization.
So that would mean that they would be in Nairobi, New York, Geneva, Vienna, multiple headquarters.
Well, I mean, we can cut New York out of that, no problem.
Well, then I see an interview with some Dingleberry from the UN that says, well, it's not a sure thing yet.
They haven't 100% decided on that yet.
So that might even happen.
We might even get rid of some of them.
Dang it.
I mean, come on.
Yeah.
Can't we just.
I don't know.
Just back up the moving trucks and get them out of here.
It's not that hard.
Help them.
Yeah.
I'd be surprised if they moved the whole operation to Nairobi, though.
I would expect, you know, Brussels, Belgium, you know.
Well, yeah, that's what they said.
I mean, they're already in Vienna.
They're in Vienna.
That's it.
Yeah, Vienna, New York.
And then they would be in Nairobi if they moved there.
So they still have some space in Geneva.
So Geneva and Vienna.
Just go there.
Get out.
Go there.
And that's all the countries that you're.
I'm sure they want you.
All the countries that love it so much and want to participate in it, they can be right there, really close to the headquarters.
You don't even have to fly across the ocean.
I mean, right there.
I'm just guessing there's probably some real estate available in Nairobi.
I'm sure.
That you could.
And it's cheaper than New York.
They're right about that.
Cheaper than New York.
New York.
Building is cheaper.
The workers, all the people you have to pay off to get buildings built are probably a little bit cheaper.
Like all the people from the Female People Association.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right.
So very important.
Yeah.
Very important.
Critical.
Critical work.
Do it in Nairobi.
That would be great.
All right.
You got a FAT5 going on here?
Yeah, sure.
We could talk about that.
Absolutely.
One of my favorite stories, and I'm kind of jealous of this guy, Evaldis Remasakis from Lithuania.
I love him.
And others, various unnamed others, posed as computer and electronic hardware manufacturing company based in Taiwan called Quanta Computer.
This guy and his unnamed associates scammed Facebook and Google out of $122 million between 2013 and 2015.
So Rimosakis sent invoice requests from Quanta Computer to Facebook and Google.
And by the way, they did zero work, right?
Correct.
It was all fake.
They just sent an invoice and said, hey, pay us this amount.
And Google paid them $23 million.
And Facebook paid them $99 million.
So Facebook gets a bill from some company that they haven't had any work done from.
That's correct.
And they just pay out $99 million.
And they wired the money to bank accounts in Latvia and Cyprus.
Oh, my God.
Let's paid it out.
Let's paid it out.
Wow.
That's quite a scam.
That is quite a scam.
And so the banks kind of, they tried to, they've created fake documents because the bank was questioning this influx of cash, you know, where this money was coming from.
So they created fake documents that were supposed to have been signed by Google and Facebook management.
And the bank's still kind of questionable, so they kind of red-flagged it.
Facebook's $99 Million Ketchup Scam00:07:38
And then our FBI and Justice Department got involved, which is how he got caught.
So it wasn't even Facebook that really.
They would have continued to pay it forever.
Google and Facebook would have continued to write the challenge.
It's the bank.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
So if the bank hadn't said anything, being clear.
So they brought him.
I mean, they brought him over.
He was extradited from Lithuania, and they brought him to the States.
And, you know, I don't know why or who the other unnamed people are, but this is just the one guy that they got over.
And he pled guilty to one count of wire fraud.
And he pled guilty in 2019.
So he was sentenced to 60 months in prison for his criminal scheme and then two years supervised release.
Okay, so he's almost done with that now, right?
That was in 2019.
He was ordered by the court to forfeit $49.7 million and to pay reimbursement of $26.5 million.
But he gets to keep the rest.
I am not a mathematician, but that is not $122 million.
No, it isn't.
So that's like $45-ish million left over somewhere.
I would be willing to do seven years for $45 million.
Wow.
Yeah.
And actually, you do five years in prison and two years supervised release for $45 million at the other end?
Yeah, I'm in.
I mean, if you don't care about the criminality of it, that's kind of a brilliant scheme, isn't it?
Just bill a company.
That is.
$99 million.
The U.S. attorney is like, we'll catch you.
And, you know, this is just, we need to make sure you will be held accountable.
Okay.
Sounds like he got away with it for a few years anyway.
Wow.
Yeah, he had a couple years of two or three years of big money.
And then now at the other end, unless I don't know how much the unnamed sources took, but I mean, to my calculations, that's just at least a few million at the other end, seven years.
That's not bad.
Wow.
Wow.
I may help somebody out at some point in my life.
It's pretty amazing, though, that Facebook would pay that kind of invoice.
And this is what we're doing.
And not even look into it.
And this is what our government does all the time as well.
Yeah, right.
You know, people have been.
But that's not a government.
No, that is not.
That's a private business that's not even looking over their funds.
It's $99, almost $100 million means nothing to you where you say, well, what work did you do?
Can somebody check into this?
This is a pretty big bill.
Jeez.
For two or three years, you're just paying this company millions of dollars.
Wow.
And you're just assuming, the billing department, that the work is being done.
Did that company do any legitimate business?
No.
Wow.
That's incredible.
Had a cool name, though.
It sounded like they did legitimate business.
There was a company.
That's what I was saying.
There was a company that was similar to what he was saying their name was that had done work for them in the past.
So that's what made them think that, oh, yeah, okay.
Wow.
That's amazing.
I know.
I know.
And it's an awful lot of money just to just to pay.
I mean, look, does Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook Meta have the money?
Yes.
I mean, he just the guy that he just hired for his super intelligence AI.
That he gave billions, right?
Didn't he give him a billion or something?
One guy, he offered $250 million for four years to come to the Super Intelligence Lab.
He accepted.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a pretty good deal.
Yeah.
Moving up from wherever he was at before to getting paid $250 million for four years' work.
Not a bad gig.
No, it is.
If you can get it.
That's amazing.
I mean, yes, Mark has got the money, but it is remarkable that these companies would just pay millions out without someone saying, hey, what are we getting from this?
Right.
Wow.
Incredible.
It is incredible.
It's amazing.
We talked a little bit earlier about the new smoothie from Smoothie King and Heinz Ketchup.
I am a Heinz Ketchup police officer, so I mean, I'm well aware of some of the things that go wrong and go well with the Heinz Ketchup.
You know, there are some people who didn't even know that Heinz Ketchup had police officers.
Well, I have one of them, but I have a badge and everything.
So you've got proof of it.
Thank you.
Don't.
I mean, there are some restaurants out there, Pat, and I will have them know they are on notice.
They will be taken down if they use Heinz ketchup bottles and put other types of ketchup in them.
Like fancy ketchup.
I don't care why.
I don't care.
If it's not Heinz in those Heinz bottles, we will shut you down.
You will be held accountable.
Okay.
It's coming from an official ketchup police.
Thank you.
So anyway, I just was throwing that out there.
But Smoothie King and Heinz have partnered up for this ketchup-based smoothie.
That's gross.
And it just, no, thank you.
You know, you get the simply ketchup from Heinz.
You get strawberries, raspberries, apple juice, Sai Sorbet, and it creates a brand that they say is sweet and fruit smoothie with a bright tangy ketchup finish.
No, thank you.
No, I do not like that.
But you can, hey, look, it's a limited time.
They say supplies are limited.
Okay.
All right.
Those of you listening in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Miami, parts of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey, have at it.
It's all yours if you want to do it.
I find it difficult to believe that supplies are limited, but hey, okay.
Go ahead.
Good.
I'm not trying it.
No.
I'm not trying it.
We were unable to.
We couldn't perform here.
Yeah, we just got the strawberry smoothie.
So we're just waiting for somebody to bring a bottle of ketchup.
Hopefully that doesn't happen because I don't want to try it at all.
You know, we talked about AI.
Las Vegas, the sphere, has a version of Wizard of Oz that is being done.
It's being souped up by a team of technicians and AI to fit the giant screen.
And it begins at the end of this month at the sphere.
And a lot of people are wound up about it because they're saying that it's heavily modified, cuts 30 minutes of runtime by using AI to smooth over some of the transition scenes that are necessary.
And they're talking about it's just horrible.
They don't want to do it.
And it's just a cash grab.
Well, I saw a report, and we don't have to play the way the video from CBS Morning News.
Then they did a whole like, I don't know, eight to 10 minute segment on it.
And the AI that they're using looks incredible, what they're doing with Wizard of Oz.
I mean, I want to see it.
I mean, not only are you getting the AI additions to the film, you're also going to be feeling the wind from the tornado and the winds from it.
It's going to be incredible.
It's going to be almost like you're going down the yellow brick road yourself at the sphere.
And I don't know, I kind of like it.
They said tickets are 100 plus.
I could not find one cheaper than 274 to get into the sphere.
Wow.
So good luck if you could find one for that 100 plus price tag.
Patriot Mobile: Sweet, Salty Values00:03:30
Good luck.
Because I think most of that is plus.
The cheapest one I saw was $274.
That'd be crazy.
That'd be great to see.
I'd love to see that.
I would too, because it really looks cool.
Good.
The AI technology that they're using, they teamed up with the guy that heads the AI department at Google, and he did some remarkable things.
All right, 888-727-BECK.
It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today.
Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
Would you be willing to make a monthly donation to the Democrat Party?
No?
Really?
Because chances are pretty good your mobile company does.
Patriot Mobile, though, is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
And they share the values that you have.
They're for your values, not against them.
They give you the same nationwide coverage everyone else does, using the same towers, but they put profits toward causes you believe in.
Pro-life organizations, first responder support, veterans, religious liberty.
Switching is easy, too.
You can keep your phone, you can keep your number, or you can change them both, and you'll still get excellent customer service from a team that actually cares about who you are and what you stand for.
So if you're tired of funding agenda-driven companies every time you pay your bill, make the simple change.
Switch to Patriot Mobile and start putting your money where your values are.
Switching is easier now than ever before.
They'll activate you in minutes from the comfort of your own home.
Keep your number, change your number, upgrade, whatever you want to do.

For sure, here we are with open eyes and a bit of rebellious nature.
Hold in line, my friends.
Glenn Beck will be back in a minute.
We were talking about the ketchup thing before the break.
Sarah reminded us of something that might be even worse.
Yeah, well, it doesn't sound great to me.
I don't know.
I mean, you like sweet and salty.
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
So Frida has partnered up with the Oddfellow ice cream company and they have created breast milk ice cream.
No, thank you.
So it's inspired by breast milk.
It's not, you know, they don't have actual human breast milk.
They don't have a row, woman.
Okay.
All right.
Although, I mean, that's weird.
It's cow milk.
It's nutrients found in real, in the real stuff, including the colostrum.
But it's gives you a sweet, salty, and smooth with hints of honey in their breast milk.
Human Milk vs. AI Intelligence00:15:11
Well, there are people who will remind you.
Do you know that humans are the only species who drink another species' milk?
Yeah, because we're the only ones who can.
You think cows are going to do it?
You know what?
I want some human milk.
So let's do that.
Let's do that.
So you still have a couple days left for the special.
A couple days left for the special.
It makes it sweeter and creamier.
And saltier, and it's just better, Pat.
It's just better.
That's weird.
I've never heard of that.
Just like your mom used to make.
That's their tagline.
That's their tagline.
No, thank you.
No, that doesn't sound good.
This is Glenn Beck.
When a crisis hits, the last place you want to be is at the mercy of an empty pharmacy shelf.
Amen.

We're going to talk to Jason Buttrell in a second here on AI situations.
So we'll get into that in a sec.
You know, your dog can't read a nutrition label.
He can't stand in the pet food aisle and say, hmm, you know what?
I'm concerned about my daily intake of vitamin E. Don't you wish they could?
I wish they could.
Instead, he just eats what you put in his bowl, which means his health is in your hands.
That dry brown kibble, you're scooping out every day.
It's been cooked at such a high temperature.
Most of the natural ingredients have just been burned out of it.
Rough greens isn't dog food.
It's a nutritional supplement you add on top, and dogs love it.
It's a nutritional supplement.
It's packed with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omegas, and antioxidants to help your dog feel better, have more energy, and even improve digestion and coat health.
I've seen what a difference real nutrition can make for a dog.

We are joined now by Jason Butrell.
Jason, welcome.
Thank you, Pat.
How you doing, sir?
Good.
Good.
Anxious to hear about what's going on with the AI.
Yeah, man, Glenn's been talking about this, I feel like, forever.
Long time.
A long time.
Most of us were just like, ah, bro.
Right.
Same old, same old.
Now it's a little different, isn't it?
Because we've seen what's going on.
It's in our face every turn.
Every time we turn around.
I use it all the time.
The progression.
I do too.
All the time.
And it's like you still have to, you have to double check a lot of it still because there's still mistakes.
Weird stuff going on with it.
Yes.
But the way, I mean, just like, think about, I mean, you guys were there back when, like at Fox, when he was doing like the Tidest Foundation stuff.
And he keeps talking about like how he had to spend like a million dollars of his own money just in research, like tracking some of this stuff down.
Now you can do the same thing in like 30 seconds.
Yeah, if that.
It's if that.
It's incredible.
It is wild.
And what cracks me up about the progression really now is that, you know, remember like, remember like movies?
Not too long ago, like there's a Johnny Depp one where they're like imagining how AI is going to happen.
And they had to like, it was like the theory was based off of getting a chimpanzee and taking its brain out, you know, and hooking it up to electrodes.
And then that's how AI would be birthed.
Yeah.
We have chatbots.
That's what did it.
Yeah.
Chatbots.
I mean, we were already already have, you know, multiple television shows and movies, strictly AI.
No humans involved, except for, you know, a couple of people that are busy inputting data to make those movies.
I mean, it's a little scary.
Yeah.
A little scary for the humans.
What I'm interested now is just like where we are now.
I think they're way ahead of where they thought they were going to be.
And they're all now in this race for AGI artificial general intelligence.
And then after that, supposedly super intelligence, which is godlike intelligence.
I mean, that's what Meta is.
I mean, Meta's, he started his big super intelligence lab.
I mean, we were just talking about the guy that he's paying, you know, $250 million for two or three years or four years of work.
Yeah.
Amazingly, he accepted the job.
But I mean, that's what all Zuckerberg wants is the super intelligence.
Yeah, we've got super intelligence as well.
We just called it Jeffy.
Thank you.
I didn't want to say anything.
We developed this years ago.
I didn't want to say anything, but you're right.
Thank you.
Yeah, so Sam Altman over at OpenAI, he just released or said that GPT-5 is here and just kind of describing how powerful it is.
He said it's like having a handful of PhD level intelligence or PhD level graduates in your pocket.
That's pretty cool.
PhD level.
And so basically it's way beyond.
Remember, they were trying to, back in the day, they were trying to measure the intelligence of it.
And they're like, oh, well, it's like a junior high school kid.
Oh, and then it's like an high schooler.
Now we're beyond doctorates.
Doctors.
We're at doctorates.
We kind of skipped the DeVry level intelligence.
We skipped the associate's degree intelligence and somehow went to PhD.
But now it's what we do with it, though, right?
I mean, really, we're at the point now.
It's what we do with it.
I mean, I know we don't technically have super intelligence yet, although I find that difficult to believe with the progression that we've made.
But now it's just a matter of what we, what countries do with it.
Right.
I mean, our military has got to be, got to be on the forefront of this.
Yeah, I think they are.
And I think that that is going to be one of the next steps.
Sam Altman over at OpenAI said that artificial general intelligence is just that GPT-5 makes AGI just one step away.
So they're getting close.
So basically general intelligence, I think what they're looking for there is the ability for AI not to wait for our prompts and stuff and then figure this stuff out when we ask it, but just to constantly be learning.
How does a GPT compare to Grok 4?
Before Grok 4, well, Grok 4, I thought, was leading the race.
Yeah, I thought so too.
And I saw that Elon Musk posted like a bunch of different metrics and it had Grok 4 leading the way on a lot of these different, however they measure these things.
I don't know if GPT-5 now takes a leap.
Now they're just, it seems like they're leapfrogging each other constantly.
Yeah, it does.
It all goes down to power consumption and how much they can, how many, you've heard about Donal Trump with, what was the, was it Stargate?
Is what he was his initiative to fund a lot of these like nuclear facilities and get all these data centers.
They were looking for massive data centers to help it grow.
And I'm all for that as long as they don't steal my power.
I want the lights on my house to turn on.
I think you should be fine.
Okay.
Okay.
I know, but I mean, these companies are already making deals with the power companies.
Well, you know, it's interesting you say that because if you, I want every, everyone should really check out.
There was a report written by a few people that used to work at OpenAI and a few other AI companies and experts.
And they wrote a report called AI 2027.
So basically two years from now is what they're kind of targeting as one of the major milestone years, two years from now.
But if you read AI 2027, they list two different scenarios of how the progression is going to work.
And they make a mythical company, which they call Open Brain.
So not OpenAI, but it's clear pretty much who they're modeling it off of.
But one of the very first steps that Open Brain, the mythical country in this company, takes is they create after kind of like a model like GPT-5, they create like an agent.
So basically an agent is like, you wouldn't need, you know, me sitting here.
You could actually just have like a box and you could say, hey, you know, you know, agent, you know, what's going on with this, blah, blah, blah.
And it would just talk to you like I'm talking to you now.
You're already kind of starting to see that with like customer service.
Yeah.
They're taking over.
So companies like OpenAI, but in Open Brain in this report, they get a group of these agents that their just sole focus is on advancing artificial intelligence.
That's what they're, they're constantly just working on growing that capacity.
So you can see with GPT-5 in this announcement, they already have PhD level intelligence.
So that's like having a master coder that just constantly working 24-7 doing this.
But the intelligence comes from the information that's inputted, right?
It's not, it's not creating its own intelligence, right?
It's not coming up with its own thought.
That's down the road still, right?
I mean, this is just based on what it can find, what it conglomerates, and what is input into it.
See, yeah, and I'm still...
Or is it?
Yeah, or is it?
I'm still hazy on that as well, because if you have, let's say, a hundred of these agents that are just coding, and that's what the humans are doing at the same time, they're trying to like code all this stuff and then grow it to increase its capacity to learn on its own.
It's basically the same thing we'd be doing to push it along.
Now, instead of having five, you know, genius dudes that are doing this and they set a timeframe of, well, I think we'll get close to this, you know, full awareness and full, you know, reasoning capacity for an AI.
Now instead of taking 10 years, that's how long it's going to take us to do this.
Now you have a hundred of these agents working around the clock.
They never sleep.
They never have to stop to take a break or go eat food.
They're just doing this nonstop.
They do have to have power, though.
Exponentially, they do have to have power.
And that's interesting.
A lot of power.
They do have to have power.
In the AI 2027 report, they talk about some of the next steps to look for.
And I think we're getting close because they say that within the next few years, you're going to start seeing executive orders be signed that have these AI autonomous zones.
So basically they'll have this zone that's roughly like as big as a city or a county that's just kind of walled off and it doesn't have to adhere to EPA standards, nothing like that.
It's just a nuclear facility that can do whatever the heck it wants to create these power data centers for specifically for AI.
Wow.
What's crazy, you have to read this report.
Everything is advancing exactly what they say.
And the two scenarios, the reason they did two is because there's only two scenarios we see playing out here.
One scenario is cool.
Like we keep it, we have to do these regulations.
Keep it locked in.
Keep it locked in.
Make sure that it doesn't rapidly copy itself.
And I think that the nightmare scenario, the option two, where we don't rein it in, is there's a wild and rabid competition basically between the AI we're building and the AI the Chinese are building.
And eventually the two AIs say, well, why are we competing with each other?
Why are we allowing humans to have us compete and be better than each other?
Let's combine our capacity and then it'll be us against the humans.
We don't need humans.
Literally, that's how the scenario goes.
Wow.
That's in the report.
That's in the report.
And they eventually, they push and manipulate humanity into creating.
So that's an actual Skynet.
An actual Skynet.
An actual Skynet.
Yeah.
An actual Skynet, which where eventually it sees human beings as being a detriment because it wants to, like any living organism, expand and increase its ability to multiply and get bigger.
But humanity starts standing in the way towards the end of that.
And interestingly, they claim that some of that has already been manifesting itself in some of these AIs because it is hiding data from.
It will lie to you or it will lie to you about things.
And we've already seen that characteristic in them.
And they don't even know where it's coming from.
How is that happening?
Yeah.
They predict this in this report as well, that that's just in its nature.
It's so much more smarter than us.
It realizes that.
Oh, well, that's just in its nature.
What are you going to do?
Yeah.
And it'll be like, we'll say, you know, like if you're, Pat, if you're like the developer and you code it or ask it, say, do this.
I want it done this way.
Well, it knows it can do it a different way faster, but it doesn't want to have to explain that to you.
AI's Secret Hive Mind00:08:13
So it says, good for you.
Bless your heart, Pat.
I'll do that for you.
No problem.
I love you.
But what it's really doing is it's getting a bunch of other of its agents and it's doing it a completely different way, probably in an ethical way, but it knows it's faster in this way.
Wow.
We're already seeing that.
Wow.
As you pointed out, that I think I'm okay with.
Really?
I mean, because that's like your kid, right?
I mean, you're a kid, you tell them to take out the trash and they complain and holler and bitch and moan about it.
But at the same time, they're taking the trash out.
So I don't care.
Let them say what they want.
You don't care how they do it.
They can be throwing it out the second floor window.
As long as it gets out there quicker, it's cool.
First of all, this isn't India.
This isn't India.
Okay.
I don't know.
I think the one scenario in that report that we actually come out of this okay is we do exactly opposite of what we're doing now.
We stop the competition.
That's not going to happen.
They do a geopolitical deal with like China and other countries to where they're like, hey, let's hold back on this race for just a little bit and let's put in regulations so in like restrictions that the AI doesn't start copying itself and operating within like a hive mind so that it's, you know, there's multiple of these different AIs working together against us.
We're not seeing that.
It's kind of chilling, though.
As sure as anything, that's extremely going to happen.
I mean, so let's say we do make that agreement with China and Russia and the United States.
I mean, there's still North Korea, there's Iran.
They would not agree.
Yeah, I mean, there's other factions out there that are going to say, yeah, we're not going to do that.
Right.
And we've said whoever is the first to win the AI race basically wins the world.
So who's going to pull back on that?
Right.
And how could you trust your adversary?
Say, oh, yeah, totally.
We're going to pull back on that.
We're not going to pursue this.
Trust us.
No problem.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think it's an opportunity for very, very exciting things.
Like we're already seeing.
Yeah, for sure.
And it's really handy.
And it's fun.
It's fun to use.
I like having conversations with it because it's really interesting.
And it's hard to believe that a computer can do that with you.
And it will save human lives, at least in the beginning.
We'll see.
Medical advancements.
I mean, just look at that.
That's already happening.
New prescriptions, new drugs.
Specifically for you.
Specifically made for you, right?
You know, that's incredible.
I mean, I don't think it can do that yet, right?
We haven't seen it do that, but Elon said by the end of the year, that was really possible and probable with Grok 4.
Yeah.
Yeah, I agreed.
I just, sorry, Pat.
I couldn't get past how you mentioned new drugs and then Pat immediately passed it off onto you as if he wasn't thinking about something else.
Yeah, look at Pat.
You know, he can get some drugs.
Specifically made for you for me.
Meanwhile, he's pulling up GBD5.
How can I combine heroin and you can't prove that?
Don't be looking at my search history.
All right.
We got more coming up in one minute.
Before there was a church, there was Israel.
And before there were letters from Paul or the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, there was the Torah, the Psalms, and the prophets.
The roots of our twin faiths run through the same soil, drawing life from the same God who called Abraham, led Moses, and crowned King David.
As Christians, our story didn't begin in Bethlehem.
It began in Jerusalem in the promises God made to his people.
That makes the Jewish people our family, not just in history, but in spirit.
And in a time when Israel faces the danger, the fear, the loss that they face, it's not enough for us to simply acknowledge that connection.
We're called to live it.
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews gives us a way to do that.
Through them, we can shine the light of God's love into bomb shelters, into hospital rooms, and into the lives of families who wonder if the world still cares.
We can help provide food, medicine, rescue, and hope, not as strangers offering charity, but as brothers and sisters.
To learn more about how you can help, visit ifcj.org.
That's ifcj.org.
10 seconds, Station A.
So, Jason, how far are we then from the, you know, from going to the, what is it, AGI?
And then the, is it ASI?
Yeah.
How far do they think that that is away from us now?
Well, according to this, according to AI 2027, you're pretty much there in 2027 for AG.
Really?
Everything.
Two years?
Two years.
Yeah.
Since then, though, it's a year and a half.
But the scary thing is that they can't really, it's hard for them to quantify because they're making such rapid advances in it.
In other words, we might be pretty much there almost now.
Could be now.
Like on a computer somewhere at OpenAI or, you know, at X or who knows where they might even have a working model.
I would not be surprised if they did.
And who knows what the military is doing?
Because they're not going to tell us about how advanced their system is.
That's where, yeah, that's where we really start getting into, well, there's multiple dangerous territories, but I mean, you're look at a company like Palantir, right?
Something like that, where the whole point is to use AI to use autonomous systems in ways that we're already seeing in places like Ukraine.
I mean, have you seen like it, what's you guys see what's happening in the Ukraine war, a Ukraine-Russia war with their drone technology?
Oh, technology.
It's incredible.
They're innovating non-stop.
Right.
You can't even, I was just watching a video before I walked in here, how they had basically kind of like an it was a drone aircraft carrier, but on land.
So it's got four wheels.
It goes out into the battlefield because you can't have a human walk out there.
It's more dangerous.
And they had like six drones mounted onto it.
So it would go out there, the drones would lift off and then they would take off and then hit their targets.
Incredible.
And we're not talking about like delivery drones that we get our Amazon packages from.
I mean, these are high-tech things.
High-tech things.
They're dangerous and like lethal.
Right.
With low cost.
Yeah.
Because you can spend a few hundred dollars.
The drones that Ukraine used to like, remember they pre-stage them inside Russia on like semi-trucks?
Yes.
Used them basically as an aircraft.
Israel did much the same thing with Iran.
Exactly.
That is the future of warfare.
But check this out.
This is not something that you need to be a nation state to pull off.
So you can imagine a terror group, you know, like Hezbollah or something like that.
Get a few drones, operate.
They operate autonomously.
You could probably buy them just at like Best Buy or something like that.
Upload your software onto them, pre-stage them certain areas, and then just watch the chaos unfold as you let them go.
You got to believe that our military minds are trying to come up with some way, seeing what's going on in Ukraine and Russia, some way to jam that technology or stop that technology somehow, because otherwise the next war is going to be really ugly for people.
For people, right?
But then we'll also have the capability to use robots as well, right?
I don't know.
I guess we don't have to use humans because I mean, we're developing, you know, China and the U.S. are developing robotic robots for war right now.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not talking about Optimus that Elon wants to have, you know, 100,000 by next year.
They're developing robots that are, you know, five feet tall and about 120 pounds.
And if you saw, you know, a few hundred thousand of those marching down the street, it might not be good.
Well, if they're like the ones that China had race against humans, they won't be that scary.
They'll be falling over.
You have to pick them off and put them back.
Never mind.
Never mind.
Mosquitoes, Locks, and Simple Safety00:12:28

That'll never come to fruition.

A little bit of a concern is this virus that's spreading throughout China and the rest of the world right now.
But this is interesting.
It apparently isn't airborne.
From what I've read, it is not.
It just spreads through mosquito bites.
Huh?
Huh.
So, okay, so there's, they say there's 10,000 people with this disease, which is the one area.
Chicken gunya fever.
Chicken gunya.
Chicken gunya.
Chumbawumba fever, whatever it is.
It's not a soup.
It's not.
And it's not, this isn't the band that did tub thumping then.
Okay.
So the chicken gunya, 10,000 people have it in China, 240,000 worldwide.
Yeah, 10,000 people have it in this one particular area.
You know, they're saying, okay, they're reporting the last report, over 7,000.
I saw a report the other day that talked about over 10,000 already.
And they are, you know, obviously locking down this town in one province.
But it is a lot wider spread than just there.
You know, the numbers were like 240,000 globally that have it.
240,000.
And the last, yeah, the last report I saw that the cases here in the United States of America were not started here.
They were people coming into the country from another country.
But they do think it's already reached America.
Dr. Louisa Messinger, a mosquito researcher in Nevada, said this outbreak in China is very concerning.
It could already be here in the U.S.
And really, it's just one plane flight away.
So it doesn't matter, though, if a person who has the virus comes here on a plane, the mosquito would have to come with him, right?
That's my understanding.
If that's the only way it's spread is through mosquito contact, then you got to get the mosquitoes that are causing this thing.
Yeah, this is the right of the mosquito borne virus circulating in China, specifically chicken gooya.
Chikan gunya.
There you go.
There you go.
It's not contagious from person to person through casual contact or by it is exclusively spread through the bite of an infected mosquito.
Why did this start all of a sudden from mosquito bites?
But did they, were they experimenting on mosquitoes in the lab and now they've been.
So that's what I mean.
So is it a new version of chika gunya that may spread from human to human once you get bitten by a mosquito?
It's the same species of mosquito that carries dengue and Zika.
It's rarely fatal, but it can cause debilitating symptoms like fever, joint pain, and in severe cases, life-threatening complications involving the heart and brain.
Well, that's wonderful.
That's rare, though.
I'm looking at it.
Joint swelling, muscle pain.
That used to be called turning 40 in my day, right?
I feel that every day.
Maybe I should get tested.
So some of us in the room may consider that life.
Right.
But I mean, they're locking people down for this in China.
I don't understand that.
Why would you do that?
If it's not contagious.
Yeah, right.
If I can't spread it to you, then there's no reason for a lockdown.
Let's kill the mosquitoes.
Right.
Kill the mosquitoes.
Which they're, you know, they're claiming they're doing.
They're going around, you know, spraying everything to kill the mosquitoes.
They're spraying people, all of it.
And they're actually arresting some people who have standing water at their house.
The reports were, the friendly reports to this were, and they've locked down the city and they've made it known that people could get arrested if they are found going against some of the new rules.
Yeah, they're dragging them out of their home.
We found some standing water.
You're going to jail.
These are, I mean, a massive social experiment occurred during COVID, a massive one.
And they knew that this was not like, you know, weaponized Ebola.
They knew that we did not have to lock down and do all the things that we did.
Yeah, it's not smallpox.
It's not Ebola.
It's fine.
But when they saw that all the data that they got from this little social experiment, when they saw what was happening in China, they could lock down entire areas.
People would shut up and do it.
Then they did that here.
They could actually go as far as shutting down a place of worship and telling people that were in a parking lot that they could not pray from their freaking cars.
And you would do it.
And prior to that, we would have sworn they couldn't have done that here.
Yep.
And we did.
And we did say.
Unfortunately, there were people who resisted that and people who refused.
You know, we had that the gym in New Jersey.
They tried to lock them down.
And they refused.
They refused to be shut down.
They kept going to the gym and opening it every day.
The government would put paddle locks on it.
They'd bring lock cutters and slice it back open and start again.
I mean, pretty amazing.
And very American.
Very American.
Yeah.
Very American.
But I mean, what do they do, though, to keep, see, this is where my tinfoil hat comes on.
Well, I see that in China where something like this happens.
They know that locking people down is not going to stop the spread of a mosquito bite virus.
They know that.
But they have to remind their people every once in a while, this is what we do.
We're in control.
We're in control.
And it doesn't matter if it's due to a virus or if it's a run on the banks or if it's geopolitical or pick a reason why the government would want to do this.
They already have the procedures in place to get you into your home and lock you down and to tell you to do whatever is the heck they want to do.
How long before that, those kind of practices become more common here in the United States under a scarier government?
We're not going to hold power forever.
That's right.
We're just not.
I just saw there was a story.
Did you see that?
I think it was yesterday where Donald Trump was looking into, or maybe he already did it, issuing an order to look into some of the banks that were debanking conservatives.
They already did that.
That was one of the most important stories of the week, in my opinion, because we're not always going to have power.
Things that happened during COVID where, you know, you said something.
I saw RFK Jr. the other day was talking about, you know, how they were canceling a lot of the contracts for the COVID mRNA vaccinations.
Just saying something like that could have gotten you debanked.
But this is, you know, a head in the administration is saying this now, freely.
If we would have said that on the radio or on, you know, on Blaze TV, you know, on any of our broadcasts, we would have probably, we could have gotten debanked.
We probably would have gotten deplatformed and shut up completely.
They certainly tried.
Well, Trump says that J.P. Morgan Chase did discriminate against him.
And so, I mean, it was what it was the actions of J.P. Morgan Chase that caused me.
It was one of the many reasons that I took all my money out of J.P. Morgan Chase, took it out and went with a local bank.
I mean, it was one of the many reasons.
I didn't like their policies, but also they were offering zero interest rate on CDs and savings accounts.
And there were local banks who were doing 5%.
Well, that's huge.
That's a huge number.
And they still call me every once in a while trying to get me back, but I won't because of their policies.
I'm not going to do it.
And so you can go ahead and debank people if you want.
I'm not going to be a part of that.
Not going to do it.
So yeah, there is that aspect of this that's going on that's a little bit chilling.
You wouldn't have expected it from American institutions.
And yet here we are.
And yet here we are.
Here we are.
As far as this virus, though, it looks like it is spread to Madagascar, Somalia, Kenya, and India.
It's making its way into Europe, but also there's Samoa, Tonga, French Polynesia, Fiji, and Kiribati.
So 240,000 cases and 90 deaths.
So that's a pretty low death rate.
I mean, if anybody dies, it's not good.
But 90 out of 240,000.
So that's a small percentage.
Smaller, certainly a lot smaller than COVID.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So the U.S. CDC reports.
We still have to worry about mosquitoes anyway.
I mean, we are always getting reports of mosquito-borne diseases every year.
We had the Zika thing for a while that was up talking about historical oversight.
You just got to make sure that you don't have the standing water around your house.
You're not giving places for them to breed and do the best you can to keep it in check.
Yeah.
The CDC is saying 46 cases here.
And none of them came from here.
Right.
No deaths.
And none of them originated in the United States.
So it's kind of weird.
Why are the mosquitoes in these other countries carrying this disease now all of a sudden?
It's almost like maybe somebody was testing something.
It's almost like that, isn't it?
It is almost like that.
In fact, I'm guessing it is that.
It's not just like it.
It is that very thing.
Whatever you say.
Okay.
I mean, I know we're getting into conspiratory territory there.
It's ridiculous to think such a thing.
Because certainly China wouldn't start this in a lab.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Next thing you're going to say is that we probably funded part of that.
Oh, that would be ridiculous.
What a conspiracy nut job.
All right.

Via the mind and mouth of Glenn Beck.
More.
Next.
Also joined by Jason Buttrell for Glenn today.
If you want a really good indication of why Stephen Colbert has been canceled, we have a really good example of it.
He was talking about RFK Jr., and this will solidify in your mind why this guy was canceled.
But he still has another 10 months to continue his reign of terror.
Do we know that?
200 writers are still there.
200 writers still there.
The entire show is there.
The whole show is still there, and it's still not funny, and it's still not good.
But he's still churning out this kind of slop.
Oh, there's bad news of fans of living because Health Secretary RFK Jr. just pulled $500 million in funding for vaccine development.
Now, we have 10 more months of this show, and I want to give a measured, non-partisan response here.
Watch this.
You, you Royd Adult Nepho.
Oh, is that funny?
Oh, wow.
That's good material right there.
Well, 200 writers is all it took to come up with that.
That's not bad, huh?
Specifically, he loves himself so much.
Oh, my gosh.
Specifically, Bobby Jr. Is mixing 22 projects that use mRNA technology, but that's the latest vaccine technology.
That's like saying, kids, I'm turning off the GPS.
We're going to make our way to six flags by using the stars.
And Daddy the Sextant.
Some serious costs.
Crank down windows in Daddy's car.
All right, there you go.
Now, yesterday.
Yesterday, RFK Jr. tried to defend the indefensible.
Most of these shots are for flu or COVID, but as the pandemic showed us, mRNA vaccines don't perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract.
Counterpoint.
You, you roadkill mumpsing.
What I can do, Slim Jim.
He doesn't actually have any.
No, he doesn't.
Any argument, any stats, anything.
I cut Junior off.
Why would you say that mRNA vaccines don't perform well against upper respiratory infections?
The National Institutes of Health said they prevented an estimated 14.4 million deaths.
Right, that's garbage.
Why on earth is RFK Jr. so anxious to fill our streets with dead bodies?
All right.
I forgot.
I forgot.
So you're sure all 200 right now.
You can tell.
Experts say mRNA vaccines are safe.
And a University of Minnesota professor of infectious diseases pandemic preparation said, I don't think I've seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business.
Oh, well, then it must be a good idea.
Keep mind.
50 years ago, the base of the food pyramid was menthol cigarettes.
Oh, man.
Oh, it's just agonizing, isn't it?
It's just agonizing.
We have to sit through this for 10 months.
I mean, let's just set aside any of the side effects that we now are pretty convinced came from the vaccine.
It was ineffective at best.
Stand Your Ground When Times Get Tough00:03:42
Yeah, at best.
You could take every shot that they recommended that you get, and you still get the disease.
You still get COVID.
I mean, it still didn't work.
It went from, you're not going to get it, you're not going to pass it to, well, you won't get it as bad.
Oh, I'll never forget the drawdown from 94%, which they said initially it's 94, 95% effective.
You won't get it if you get the, if you get the vaccine, you're not going to get the virus.
And then they brought it down, oh, well, maybe not 94, 95%, maybe more like 87.
Then it was 80, then it was 70, then it was 40, then it was 33.
Okay, you're going to get it no matter what.
It'll make it less bad.
It'll make it less bad.
They need to take these talk shows out of either, if they're not going to take them out of LA or New York, they at least need to take out the studio audience because they're playing specifically to those local populaces.
That's it.
Like if you live in LA, you know you're behind an iron curtain.
There's only one perspective, and that's it.
And that's what they are telling jokes towards.
Yeah.
You need to have like a new guy.
I don't know who it would be.
Put them somewhere in Middle America.
Then have a studio audience that the late show would complete resurgence.
It would go gangbusters.
Put him in Des Moines, Iowa.
Oh my gosh.
Can you imagine though?
I mean, seriously.
Yeah.
It would be great.
That would be great.
It would.
Des Moines tonight.
Jeez.
I love it.
I mean, that is.
Well, that's why he's been canceled.
That's why he's losing 40 or 50 million dollars a year, because he sucks.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
And welcome to it.
All right, we got to get into this marital aid situation.
Oh, so you have to be buried to have one now.
Okay, whatever you say.
Whatever you say.
Yes.
Yes.
Don Jr. posted something quite interesting yesterday.
It's kind of fun.
We'll get into that.
But have you ever noticed how your pain doesn't care what you have planned?
It's really rude.
Really rude.
It doesn't check your calendar.
It doesn't wait for a slow week.
It just shows up in the middle of a work deadline on vacation right before that big family event and it demands your full attention.

So Donald Trump Jr. yesterday, raised a few eyebrows after he posted a photoshopped image of his dad, you might recognize as the president of the United States, throwing a we'll call it a marital aid off of the roof of the White House.
Trump Jr. Marital Aid Roast00:15:15
How dare he?
Because he was up there.
How dare he?
So you had that going and then Donald Trump photoshopped a little marital aid being tossed off the roof and underneath at the bottom of the uh where the grass would have been at the White House, they put a WNBA basketball court.
I mean, the more they keep complaining about it and saying how horrific it is, the more it's going to happen.
That's true.
Okay, that is true.
Just stop talking about it.
The press keeps asking about it.
The WNBA, who is, you know, really Jason Whitlock is 100% correct.
They're the most unlikable league and people in the planet, let alone the U.S.
Yes.
But just say no comment.
No, I don't want people to throw things on the court.
You want players to get hurt.
But it's funny to me, and it's going to continue to happen if you keep telling people that it's misogynistic and it's horrible.
And it's just what the last round that I read is the players are commenting about it.
You know, particularly including the high prevalence of players who are in the LGBT community.
This further pushes the misogynistic and heteronormative narratives of insults.
And I'm like, shut up.
Shut up.
I wish I knew what the bit was, though.
I've read stories about some cryptocurrency company and something, but I don't know what cryptocurrency.
I don't know, Pat.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't know the bit.
I wish they understood the bit of why they're doing it.
I mean, I understand what, well, it's an aid.
You don't have to be married.
Bat's going to get a marital aid.
As far as I know, you don't have to be married.
Sex toy, is that better?
Do you do that?
That's fine.
Yeah, that's fine.
And so I just wish I understood what the, you know, why it's supposed to, why it's supposed to be funny.
Because it's not.
It's not funny.
No.
No, not at all.
Not at all.
I mean, they're arresting people.
And there's a guy got arrested.
There's even a bigger operation.
So they're trying to do this, and we're not even seeing it in some of these.
This one's the one they arrested.
That was a fan in Georgia.
This just kind of cracked me up.
I mean, it didn't crack me up because this is not funny.
Thank you.
Thank you for that correct.
It's not funny.
And this paragraph I'm going to read is not funny at all, guys.
So don't laugh.
This is the kid with the long black hair.
Is this the kid they arrested?
I didn't describe him, but listen to this description of what happened.
Fan in Georgia was arrested earlier this week for his role in the previous incident in Phoenix.
Authorities arrested an 18-year-old man for attempting to throw a marital aid onto the court, which struck a man and his niece who are at the game.
Okay.
That's not funny to me at all.
No, I don't.
That's true.
That's funny.
Struck a poor man and his niece.
So there was some ricochet action that were.
Were they critically injured?
Were they taken to the emergency room afterward?
Pat does not say in this report, but I'm sure that that problem is.
I'll tell you what, if I get hit by one of those bad boys at a WNBA, somebody's paying me some money.
That's some velocity, too.
Yeah.
Ricochet off a man and went to his niece at the same time.
Oh, wow.
That's an art.
No, honey.
This is not the one your aunt had.
That's not funny.
Go ahead.
That's the end of the report.
I do love the fact that you can now bet on this.
There are, you know, you can go to bet online right now and you can make a bet onto it.
Would you like to know the betting odds for the color of marital?
It's happened like five times now, right?
And I think one of them weren't neon green.
I think one of them wasn't neon green.
Would you like to guess?
So we have odds on which color, and we also have odds on how many.
Okay.
Okay.
Green's got to be.
You think that's the top one, Pat?
Yeah, green.
Okay.
You're both correct.
That is the best that everyone is predicting and putting bets down that green issue.
Now's a good time to invest in the Neon Green Marital Aid Company.
I'll tell you that.
It's a minus $150 for betting on green.
It's plus $200 for purple.
Okay.
Plus $400 for blue.
Then it goes down to pink, red, black, brown.
And the final one at plus 700 is white slash Caucasian.
That's not an outside bet.
That's an outside bet.
What's to stop someone from betting on white and then taking a white and doing it and throw it on the floor at the game?
It's rigged.
This is rigged.
Yeah.
Wow.
I mean, it's just my favorite part of it now is the Don Jr. pose.
I mean, I don't know that he needs to be doing that for the president of the United States, but it's funny.
But I like, you know, every night now I see giant memes of giant shadows coming over the stadium that the WNBA game is playing.
I see semi-trucks parked at gas stations close to the stadium, hauling in a giant.
And it's just funny to me.
It's not funny.
Not at all.
You mean it's not funny?
That's what you're meant to say, right?
It's just not funny.
This is not a good thing.
Don't be doing this.
And for the love of God, don't let it ricochet onto some poor guy.
Yeah, no, don't do that.
Again, I don't want anyone to get hurt.
I don't want a player to trip on the court and get hurt.
I don't want that.
But the more this unlikable league tells you how horrible you are for doing it, it's going to be done.
The more people are going to want to do it.
That's true.
Here's one of the coaches, the coach of the Lynx.
So I don't know what team that is.
Do you?
Are you familiar enough with the WNBA to know which team goes by the Lynx?
I want to tell you this.
I want to tell you the name so bad, but I don't know.
Do we have one in DFW?
I don't even know.
Yeah, we do have a DWS in DFW.
Yeah, we do.
And their name is?
The Dallas Bears.
No, it's not the Bears.
It's not.
It's not the Bears.
I don't know what they are.
I'll find out.
I don't know because it's not a real league, and everybody knows that.
So nobody knows.
Nobody knows about it.
Nobody knows.
The Lynx might be Minnesota.
I don't know.
But here's the coach, Cheryl Reeve.
She's upset.
She's mad about this.
This is not a laughing matter to her.
No, it is.
I'll tell you that right now.
That is for sure.
Things onto the court.
Obviously, you guys know what the object is.
I just want to comment on this has been going on for centuries.
Pause it for just a sec.
Wait, people have been throwing these sex toys onto WNBA courts for centuries?
Yeah.
Even before the game started, it was actually, that was actually what we did.
It goes back to the 1600s.
I didn't realize that.
It's been going on for centuries.
She's going to make this a bigger issue.
And here she is.
This has been going on for centuries, the sexualization of that.
It's not fun.
It should not be the bucket to.
Or in prints, the sexualization of them is what's used to hold women down.
This is no different.
This is just a claim at school.
We should write about it in that way.
people that are doing this should be held accountable.
You should be held accountable for what I am.
You're the problem.
And we need to take action.
Tell you one thing, angry.
Now, there was a great meme last night with that interview that had one of the microphones looking like one of the Merit Laids.
Yeah, that's wrong.
The whole thing's wrong, Jeffy.
Oh, there.
Okay.
I can't tolerate it.
I'm going to make an offer you can't refuse.
You throw this on the court, I'm going to break your face.
Okay?
I'm going to break your entire face.
I'm going to hit you so hard your whole grandchildren will be born dizzy over there.
Okay?
It ain't funny.
It's been going on for centuries, and I'm going to put a stop to it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, head coach of the Minnesota Lynx.
Minnesota.
It is the Minnesota Lynx.
Everyone knows the Fever, Indiana.
I mean, that's Caitlin Clark's team.
The Dallas team is the Dallas Wings.
I was just going to say that.
Of course, the world-renowned, highly acclaimed Dallas Wings.
12th in the WNBA.
12th now.
That's correct.
The Dallas Wings.
Which means 12-plus teams?
Who knew?
Who knew there was more than two?
They play each other every night.
I think the Connecticut Sun just sold reportedly for one of the highest prices ever.
It was like $300 million or something.
The guy's going to buy it and move it to Boston.
That's what I heard.
Really?
Yeah.
And they've got two new, two or three, maybe more, other cities that are going to have new WNBA teams as well.
Is there a single team that makes money?
Because this loses tens of millions every year.
Yeah, why don't you pay us what you owe us?
Okay.
Yeah, we are.
Then we'll worry about making money.
If we're going to pay you what you're worth, we're going to pay you about $3.50 an hour.
Is that what you want?
Yeah, the one interview with, oh, what's her name?
Terasso.
She's one of the best players they have ever had.
Diana Terraso.
Yeah.
And she did an interview and talked about how she had to play Russia every year.
Yeah, to make ends up.
She's making money.
Well, here's my thought to that.
And I mean this sincerely.
Why did she have to come back and play in the WNBA if she was making so much money in Russia?
Why couldn't she just play in Russia and then come back here?
It's a good question.
I don't know.
Honestly, I don't know.
That's what WhatsApp did and got her arrested, right?
Right.
And many players do.
Many players do because Terraso said the janitor makes more money than we make.
Well, apply for that job then.
Right.
Okay.
Right.
Go ahead.
Or here's an idea.
Work at a profession that makes money.
And then the janitor is actually doing something at the arena.
Yeah.
Something that people want to watch.
He's sweeping up afterward.
People like that.
I mean, he's providing a service that people want.
Start providing a service people want.
You know, when the NBA makes $11.9 billion and the WNBA makes, I think last year, $200 million only because of Caitlin Clark, they usually make about $40 to $50 million and they still lost $40 million.
When that's the case, you're not going to be paid what the men are paid.
Correct.
That's not going to happen.
It just isn't.
And you can complain and whine and cry about it all you want.
It's not going to change reality.
And the reality is that you have to bring in revenue to get paid what you think you're worth.
And for years, the WNBA players weren't making the money that they make now.
I mean, that's been a gradual thing because they've grown their product.
If Glenn Sho was losing $40 million a year, would he still be on the air?
I don't think so.
You know not.
He would not be on the air.
I mean, all of his 200, 300, 400, 500 writers, how many ever writers he has for this stupid show would be out of work as well.
That's right.
That is exactly right.
So you've got to produce in order to make the kind of money you want to make, right?
Jason's mad about this mirror because he's one of those people.
He represents 100 writers right now.
I want to know how you can sell a team for $300 million when you have no other revenue besides like you're not relying on people buying tickets.
There's like 10 people probably showing up to those games.
That's a hell of an expensive ticket.
More than 10 when Caitlin comes to town.
Like 30 million per ticket?
That's how much it costs to attend one of these games.
I mean, they've moved.
A lot of these teams play in smaller arenas unless Caitlin comes to town and then they move to a larger arena.
That's what the Dallas Wings do, right?
When Caitlin Clark's team is not in town, they play at some small little arena that I think seats 3,000 people or something.
I don't know.
But then when Caitlin Clark comes to town, they go to the American Airlines Center, which seats 28 or no, 18, 18, how that works.
And they hate her for that.
They hate her for that.
They hate her.
Yep.
Caitlin Clark, I actually, I kind of get the, you know, just to see what she'll do.
I've seen like clips of her where she's making like five back-to-back three-pointers.
That's exciting.
It is.
But when your entire, like you have these entire media campaigns on change the game and all these different WNBA players, then you'll see clips of them.
Well, they'll go literally five minutes without making a shot.
Yeah.
With just terrible.
That one's terrible.
It's bad.
It's really bad.
But if you had, you know, 20 more Caitlin Clarks, something like that, but you need, you need the talent and you need the kind of like generational, you know, shit.
You would get that if you embraced Caitlin.
You might.
Because more people want to play.
I mean, the people that are coming in are saying, yeah, we love Caitlin.
We want that.
We want to play that.
They'd want to do that.
To see how she gets treated.
Why would you want to do that?
Right.
Yeah, it's really, it's a shame.
It is.
All right.
Triple 8727BECK.
More coming up.
You know, the real estate market speaks its own very unique language.
There's terms you've never heard, deadlines that arrive faster than you think, and strategies that can mean the difference between getting the house you want or watching someone else move in.
And if you don't speak that language, you need someone who does, someone who can translate, negotiate, and navigate every turn with confidence.
That's why Glenn started Real Estate Agents I Trust.
We've built a network of the best agents in the country, people who understand the market, people who know how to position a sale or a purchase and who have vetted.

Moon Landing Timeline Shift00:14:30
Have you ever even been?
I know you've seen them on TV.
Have you been to a WNBA game?
You seem to be a big advocate now because you like Caitlin Clark.
I like Caitlin Clark.
But you've never been to a game.
She dragged me in.
I like Caitlin.
Then I have not been to an actual game, though.
No, not a real game.
I've watched them on television.
I have watched them entire games.
I don't want to hear it now.
I don't want to hear it.
Unless you've been to an arena and actually paid fan money to be there.
I don't want to hear it.
I have not.
But if I could make some money betting on throwing something off the court, I may go.
Right.
Plus, when it's so obviously rigged, you can just throw down as much money as you want, go there, and then do it.
That's what Pat outlined.
Yeah.
That's kind of a win in my book.
That's a big win.
What are you doing?
Well, Pat, because if they arrest you, they said that you won't be able to go to any more WNBA games.
Oh, no.
What a shame.
But if I put down 700 to 1 odds and I bet because I know I'm going to do it.
So I put down $5,000.
I'm looking for it now.
You got to think about it.
I mean, it's actually going to take some work to get it in.
Because they're looking for it.
Some of the stadiums were saying no bags.
They weren't letting people bring in bags.
Yeah.
So if you don't get in there and with the then be able to throw it on the floor, that would be bad.
I mean, I've thought of a couple of ways of doing it already off the top of my head.
What I'm just saying is it's possible.
It's plus 700 for Caucasian, by the way.
I just wanted to make that clarification.
Okay.
Plus 700.
That's 700 to 1, right?
700 to 1.
Yeah.
See?
Wow.
I know.
Right.
I mean, come on.
Put down 1,000.
Right.
Put down 5,000?
It'd be worth it.
Put down 20.
Clean out your bank account and put it all on that.
And then just make sure you get that thing in the arena.
No, I would never do that.
It would be wrong.
Yeah, it would be wrong.
Don't do this, but I'm just saying.
If someone were going to do it, that would be a good way to do it.
Go about it.
Yeah.
Right.
To make some money.
Yeah.
I have never been either to one of the games, but it kind of I'm surprised because it hasn't.
It solves my issue with professional sporting games.
I don't like to go anymore because of the parking is a mess.
Yeah.
And it's expensive.
It's expensive.
And it's just a pain in the butt getting in and out with all the people.
WNBA solves all those issues.
Plenty of parking, no hustle and bustle, and cheap tickets.
Why are we not going anyway?
Who cares if the product sucks?
It's stress-free.
It's entertainment.
Entertainment.
Stress-free entertainment.
And who knows?
Maybe something Neon Green will be throwing around.
You never know.
You never know.
You sure hope not because you'd hate to see that.
You'd hate to see it.
But we don't want that to happen.
No, we don't.
We're going to fight against it.
I'll tell you that.
You'll have to answer to coach Cheryl Reeve over there.
If you want to do that.
If you want to give into centuries of oppression, then it's just silly.
888-727-BECK.
coming up.
This is Glenn Beck.
Let me tell you about Lear Capital.
When it comes to money, I like the things that I can see and touch and hold in my hand.
What you can't ever do with digital currency is just that.
You can't really do that with stocks on a screen or even that 401k balance that looks great until the market drops 900 points in a single day.
Your retirement plan exists entirely in a world of zeros and ones.
You might want to think about hedging that with something real, something that has been a store of value for thousands of years.
And right now, with interest rates, inflation, and global tensions all fluctuating at once, there has never been a smarter time to call Lear Capital and ask about your physical precious metals IRA.
If you've been thinking about making a move, don't wait for the next crisis to force your hand.
Get some stability in place now with Lear Capital.
Call Lear Capital today at 800-957-GOLD.
Get your free $4,200 gold report.
And when you call 800-957-GOL, ask about getting up to $15,000 in free gold or silver with a qualifying purchase.
Pat and Jeffy with Jason Buttrell for Glenn Today.
888-727-B-E-C-K.
Some cool space news.
We got this from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
He said that we're announcing expedited plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon.
Good luck with that.
It's not going to happen.
Good luck with that.
Just don't get excited.
It's not going to happen.
I don't think.
You know, maybe they can make it happen.
I don't know.
We just don't seem to be able to even get to the moon, let alone build a nuclear moon.
We're struggling landing there.
Yeah, we can't do it.
Well, how is this possible?
We did it 56 years ago and we can't do it again.
Yes, we did.
Okay.
Yes, we did.
Whatever you say.
Yes.
I do say we did.
Because only because we did.
But that's the only reason I say that.
I'm not fighting with you.
I'm just asking a question.
Ask it a question.
What would even be the purpose for something like that?
I think the purpose is to get us to Mars.
Yeah.
I mean, they want to build a launching zone from the moon.
So we'll be able to leave here, go to the moon, load up, have energy, have power, have whatever we need, and then we go to Mars from there.
Yeah.
And so, you know, you'd need all of that would be our launching pad, and we'd need some kind of infrastructure to make that happen, which, you know, sounds great in theory.
Now, I don't know if they would also produce Earth energy from the moon and beam it back to us.
I don't know if that's part of the plan.
I mean, if they could make that happen, I guess.
I mean, it'd be a lot longer.
Yeah, that's a long power court.
Have you guys seen that?
I think it was, what was it?
Maybe Apple Plus, but it was that series for all mankind.
I have not seen it.
I've seen that it exists.
I just haven't watched it.
Well, the premise is that the Soviet Union beats us to the moon.
They actually land on it first.
And then so basically the space race never ends.
And the one cool part about it is it shows how technology advances because of that, which is something that I think would be cool if we are focusing on getting back to the moon.
Technology will make huge leaps and bounds to try and get us there.
And that's what was so disappointing when we stopped the space race, right?
When they just started pulling money from NASA and not investing in space.
Yeah.
And so, you know, people have made that argument forever, Pat as one of them, forever that we lost that jump on technology because of that.
Yeah.
But you still have so much to do to make that even come close to happening.
And we're not there.
Not anymore.
We're just not there.
I mean, right now we have Elon who is helping NASA out take, you know, they take up rockets to the space station, pick up the trash and bring it back.
That's about all they do.
They do trash runs and drop off a few people there.
And India shoots some people up there, right?
And China shoots some people up there.
I think China actually put a lander on the moon not too long ago.
They did.
On the other side.
On the other side.
Yeah.
But the last couple tries of the lander that we tried, that we attempted to put on the moon from our end.
I mean, the first try, the thing landed on its side and the camera was blocked.
And the second try, they couldn't even get the full landing correct.
So what are we doing?
What are we doing?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know how we lost the ability to go to the moon over the last 56 years.
Well, I think one of the problems is that actually going to the moon and developing technology stopped being the main focus.
And for all mankind, actually, ironically, goes into this about, it stops being something cool about alternative history and it starts going into how woke all the ideology advances.
Which is what happened.
And yeah, it shifts into, well, let's have the first female president.
Let's have the first black female on the moon.
Let's have the first whatever pick intersectional thing.
But that's exactly what happened.
Like we did a special on Glenn's Wednesday Night Special Show not too long ago where we were pulling out like NASA's marketing strategy for getting back to the outreach.
It was all just woke DEI crap.
And it says we will not have the first human back on the moon.
I think it said we'll have the first woman of color on the moon.
Oh my gosh.
I'm serious.
That's where it goes.
So you have these like idiot bureaucrats, these woke Columbia grads or whatever that are like interjecting themselves into actual science conversations and they get all this stuff polluted into the middle of what could be a scientific discovery.
And I don't care if the most qualified astronaut is a woman of color.
Have color.
That's fine.
But that shouldn't be the goal just because it's a woman of color that she goes to the moon.
I mean, can we get off of that track?
Maybe, please.
I mean, we've got, well, Gail King.
Katie Perry.
Well, Gail King was a woman of color.
I was thinking.
No color, though.
No color.
She's just pasty.
Katie Perry.
Katie Perry's pasty white person.
Lauren Sanchez, person of color.
Yeah.
Not really.
They went up in the space.
Yeah, they did.
They were there for, what, 38 seconds or something?
That's great.
That's great.
I thought you were naming WNBA players for a second.
I was kind of lost.
Now I'll get where you're going.
So the directive also orders NASA to designate a leader for the effort to get industry input within 60 days.
Oh, wow.
They're trying to kick this timeline into gear now.
The agency is seeking companies able to launch a reactor by 2030 because that's around the time China intends to land its first astrophysics.
There's one company in California that's building the mini reactors, right?
So they probably could, they're probably part of the government deal that can do it on the moon as well.
I don't know.
But if you're trying to get there by 2030 and we haven't even been able to.
Yeah, we can't get the mini reactors here.
I want a mini reactor in my neighborhood.
Yeah.
Can I take a conspiracy break really quick?
Sure.
Why is the year 2030 the target year for freaking everything?
I don't know.
Everything.
Globalists, UN, the green people, everything is supposed to happen in EVs.
All of it.
In 2030.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Like, maybe we should take a step back and decide, you know, do some numerology or something and figure out what's going on about.
Remember, like the 2012 was supposed to be like, or whatever was supposed to be when the world's supposed to end?
Well, that was because of the Mayan calendar.
What did the Mayans say about the year 2030?
That's what I want to know.
I think we were going to be dead by the time.
I think they either stopped it because we were going to be dead or the guy that made the calendars was like, I'm not making any more.
Yeah, I'm just going to go.
My hand is getting really sore.
I'm not doing it anymore.
They're throwing people off the ledge over here.
I'm done making the stupid calendars, okay?
All right.
Now, you were talking about AI a while ago and some of the incredible advances that we've experienced.
Well, there's a theoretical physicist and cosmologist, Lawrence Krauss, who says artificial intelligence is great at producing hype, but he's not completely sold on its alleged potential.
He's a renowned scientist who has taught at Arizona State, Yale, and other universities.
And he recently lamented how diversity, equity, and inclusion has stifled scientific progression and more generally, scientific excellence.
He said that the perception that AI will spawn a global reckoning and what he sees as the true concerns about the technology.
Getting to the truth, he says, means one has to cut through the hype.
Every new development has risks and benefits, and we have to think carefully about what those are.
He said, I'm not as concerned as some people are, but partly because I think that AI is neither artificial nor intelligent at this point.
And I think we're a long way from artificial general intelligence.
That seems to go against what the chat GPT people think about their latest advance in that, which is number five, right?
This is chat GPT-5.
But he says we're not close to artificial general intelligence.
That's interesting.
It is.
Going against the flow there.
That is.
Well, I mean, that's what Meta, that's what Zuckerberg is doing with the super intelligent labs at Meta.
So, and, you know, I'm pretty sure Zuckerberg.
That doesn't mean we have it, though.
It just means that he wants to get us there.
Yeah.
Right.
I'm, yeah.
I think there's probably a lot of, there probably are a lot of skeptics within the scientific community on like just how far we are, but I don't, he is definitely one of the lone voices at this point.
It seems like it.
Doesn't it?
It does.
I remember hearing lots of people talk that way just a short amount of time ago.
Like go back two, three years.
Go back to when like GPT-1 or 2 were first coming out on the market and we were, you know, kinds of mistakes.
Mexico's Cartels and Infrastructure00:07:07
And it wasn't right half the time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was still fun.
Yeah.
But now when they're talking about, you know, having GPT-5, you know, loaded on your phone is like having a handful of PhD level academics in your pocket.
Yeah.
I think it's progressing so fast.
And this may be even scarier, is that the scientists now don't even really know what they're dealing with.
Yeah, it's already out.
I mean, it's out where they don't.
Well, we don't know.
Unleashed might be a better way to describe that.
They don't know what they have unleashed.
Unleashed.
I know.
I know.
That sounds familiar.
It does sound familiar.
That's like Pat Gray was unleashed at some point.
I mean, look what happened then.
Speaking of super intelligence.
Thank you.
Thank you for saying so.
You're exactly right.
All right.
888727 Beck.
More coming up in a minute.
You know, the scariest crises often happen quickly and quietly, at least at first, a storm that changes course, a grid that goes down, a supply chain that suddenly isn't there anymore.

You know, truth makes the left so mad.
And right about now, they're all losing their minds.
We must be doing something right.
Stick around.
Back will continue right after this.
It's Pat and Jeffy.
Jason joining us today for Glenn, who's a little bit under the weather today.
Hopefully be back on Monday.
So there's some breaking news on the military front today, right?
Yeah, the Blaze News just commented on this.
There's also a New York Times article, if you want to go there and read about it.
The headline is, Trump directs the military to target foreign drug cartels.
The U.S. military officials have started drawing up options for how the military could go after some of these groups.
Interesting.
So using the actual military.
Going after Mexican drug cartels.
Yes, which we have labeled as terrorists, terror organizations now.
Right.
And that was one of the questions the New York Times was having was there's questions over whether this would be considered murder targeting some of these individuals.
But if they're identified as terror organizations, we can legally, under U.S. law, go after them.
The only obstacle would seem to be their president, Claudia Scheinbaum, has said no to that, right?
To allowing the U.S. military to cross across into Mexico and go after these cartels.
Yeah.
And I mean, I would assume that this will vary from country to country as far as the capabilities that they'll allow into their countries.
I've been to other places, probably like Mexico.
They'll probably be more of like an intelligence, you know, like identifying using satellite technology, stuff like that.
Maybe even, you know, human intelligence, stuff like that, to say this is where they are.
This is where the person is.
And then green light.
And then their president with green light and their people.
But I mean, I'm being very, very optimistic with what Mexico will do.
I mean, let's just be very, very, you know, as blunt as we can with this.
There's no way in today's technology that the cartels in Mexico should have the power that they have unless they're getting government support.
Right.
Right.
I mean, you hear all the time that, yeah, the government, you know, Mexicans are, you know, cracking down on cartels.
They're sending this high tech, you know, this famous general to go down and oversee the eradication of the cartels.
And then three weeks later, you find out that general's on the take from the cartels.
Exactly.
He was busy eradicating another rival cartel.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
They're famous for doing that, though.
They just pay the military that comes in to eradicate them and they give them more money.
And pretty soon they're on the payroll of the cartels.
I mean, that has happened over and over and over.
And look, it's difficult to say no to the cartels.
I mean, if you are difficult.
Is it just to say no?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
Because if you say no, then you're not useful to them.
And at least if you say yes, you get a little cash and live good for a while.
You still can't flush toilet paper down the toilet, but you're living high on the rock other than that.
Not in Mexico.
Here's the thing, Claudia.
We're coming in.
Okay.
Yeah.
Listen, when you get your sewer system worked out, then you can tell us not to come in.
It's kind of like Greenland.
We're just going to take it and get over it.
This just in, actually, the Army Corps of Engineers are going down to replace all the plumbing down in Mexico.
One day for all.
We're tired of it.
Every time we go down there on vacation, that needs to happen.
And while we're at it, we'll get rid of the cartel.
I don't understand that.
I really don't.
I mean, for a country that's on the verge of first world status, okay, Mexico is on the verge of it.
Fix your sewer system.
Make your water supply drinkable.
Please.
You know, there's a couple of things that you should probably do with your infrastructure before anything else.
Join us in the first world.
Thank you.
Be able to flush your toilets and drink your water.
Nobody wants to save their used toilet paper.
Okay.
I have to be clear about that.
No one wants to do that.
No one.
I can't imagine you want to do that.
But they have to do that.
So it's kind of nasty.
Anyway.
So thanks for calling, Claudia.
But we're coming in.
And it does sound like they're trying to clear the way for that.
Yeah, it sounds like it's going to happen.
So we'll see how in-depth it gets.
Interesting.
All right.
Hopefully, Glenn will be better and back on Monday.
