Glenn Beck reveals his name in the Epstein files, linking it to UN collapse and "trueflation" where CPI drops while housing costs soar. He critiques Trump's constitutional trench warfare against unelected institutions and warns of AI agents causing disasters through human abdication of wisdom. Beck argues civilizations fail when truth becomes hate speech, promoting his "Torch" subscription for fathers to counter classroom lies. Ultimately, he asserts freedom stems from the soul, not political leaders, urging local community building over Washington solutions while dismissing static consciousness downloads as mere records lacking divine grounding.

Hello, America.
You know, we've been fighting every single day.
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
But to keep this fight going, we need you.
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
Rate, review, share.
Together, we'll make a difference.
And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
Glenn Beck is on.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
First, let me just say there is a God because I found out, what, Saturday morning, I think one of my researchers called and said, Glenn, you're in the Epstein files.
And I'm like, wait, what?
I am actually in the Epstein files.
And there is a God because nobody else picked up on that until I have a chance to tell you myself and explain.
Because Lucy got some explaining to do.
This is an interesting day.
You know it's not a good day when you wake up to a phone call that says, can you explain the Epstein file thing?
Yeah, so we'll get into that.
Also, the UN is facing, this is going to make you sad, imminent financial collapse.
Oh, I feel so bad.
Also, trueflation.
What is the true inflation numbers?
We have that coming up for you.
And also, the GOP's New Deal.
What is the president actually doing?
And why aren't you maybe feeling this with the economy?
We'll go into that in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about realestate agentsitrust.com.
There is a big difference between being interested in real estate and actually knowing how to move through the market.
And right now, people are hearing mixed signals from every direction.
Rates are shifting.
Inventory feels tight in one neighborhood, flooded in another.
For instance, I think you could probably buy a house at a pretty good deal in Manhattan right now.
Good luck in Florida or Texas.
Anyway, what you need is somebody that will really help you so you're not rushing into a decision that you're going to regret later and you have the right strategy to sell your house and to buy a new one.
Negotiation, understanding what's happening on your street and the zip code, all of that.
Don't go it alone.
The agent you work with matters more in a market like this than ever before.
You want somebody who's been tested, knows how to navigate uncertainty, and who treats your money like their own.
I have the company for you.
It's actually my company that will help you find that person at no cost to you.
I do not charge you for this.
It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
That's realestateagentsitrust.com.
These people have been fully vetted by my team.
Check them out now.
Okay, so the United Nations, should I start with the Epstein thing?
Yes, start with the Epstein thing.
Okay, so, all right.
Jason, let me see if I have, let me just see if I have the actual email here.
Do you happen to have the email, Jason, by any chance?
Which email?
Sorry, I didn't hear you.
Oh, boy.
Well, never mind.
I mean, you're so busy, you know, doing, I don't know what you're supposed to be paying attention to this show.
Here it is.
I have it.
Okay.
So I get a call.
Glenn, you're in the Epstein files.
And I'm thinking to myself, that's not possible.
It is.
So I want to read exactly what it says.
Okay.
Jeffrey Epstein to Alice Jacobs.
She writes, Jeffrey, just Googled where I'm headed right now to meet some old friends, and it occurred to me that a new friend and fellow eccentric is right around the corner for where I'm visiting.
I might be able to stop by and say hello if you're around later this afternoon.
Would love a quick visit, but would welcome, it would be a welcome respite from the Fox News Glenn Beck disciples that I have to visit today.
They are lovely aside from their politics.
Cheers, Alex.
He writes back, come at four.
Other crazies here.
I don't know what that means, but this is the best way to be in the Jeffrey Epstein, where Jeffrey and his friends are like, I hate Glenn Beck, and I don't like people who like Glenn Beck.
Yes, so I am proudly in the Epstein files.
Ah, I feel better.
Okay, now let me talk to you a little bit about the economy, stuff that actually matters to you.
The United Nations is at imminent financial collapse, risk of imminent financial collapse.
Oh, all I can think of is why MCA.
The Secretary General wrote a letter to all 193 member states that they have to honor their mandatory payments or overhaul the organization's financial rules to avoid collapse because nobody else was paying except for us.
We have refused to contribute to its regular and peacekeeping budgets now.
We withdrew from several agencies because Trump said they're a waste of federal tax dollars.
So we're out of the WHO and everything else.
And the other members are so far in arrears and they're refusing to pay as well.
So gosh, darn it.
Darn it.
Makes me sad.
Which brings me to something that I want to talk to you that might make you uncomfortable a little bit, but it's totally honest.
And if you're a small business owner, you probably feel like you are working harder and still falling behind, but you'll hear that the economy is strong and then you look around and you're like, but it doesn't feel stronger.
Okay.
I want to talk to you about the economy.
There's true flation inflation report.
U.S. CPI inflation drops significantly from 1.24% to 0.86% in our independent price data.
That means almost zero inflation.
The target by the Fed is 2%.
It should be negative, quite honestly.
We have a lot of ground to make up.
But now Donald Trump is doing this.
And I don't think I've ever seen, at least when there's trouble, I've never seen inflation at almost 0%.
Again, that's not a healthy target, according to the Fed.
But are people feeling that?
You'll feel that at the gas station.
You'll feel that in many products of the grocery store.
But people are still pinching pennies.
And that is partially because of housing and partially because of healthcare.
I had a PET scan on Friday.
You know how much that PET scan cost?
I asked, what does this cost?
$12,000 for a stupid PET scan.
$12,000.
I looked up the price of a PET scan, the machine.
You can buy one for $2 million.
So you buy one for $2 million.
Then you consider, you know, it's got to have the building that it's in.
It's got to have the people.
That thing should have been no more than $3,000 to $4,000.
Why is it $12,000?
This whole insurance thing, our healthcare is completely out of control.
And one of the reasons is because we're overwhelmed.
We've got 25 million people who we don't know, who are not paying into the system, now getting free health care.
Who do you think pays for that?
I don't know.
You need a free PET scan.
There's a $4,000 PET scan that actually should be what they charge, charging me and my insurance company $12,000.
Why?
Well, probably because there's two other people that had a PET scan that couldn't afford it.
I'm just guessing.
So there's lots of reasons.
I mean, you're not crazy when you feel like I think things are not getting better.
You're not crazy.
You're seeing something real because what we're living through right now is not a recovery yet.
It is and it isn't.
And I want to be really clear because this is going to sound like a downer, but it's not.
This is really good news.
We're going through what I would call assorting.
And it's because we've never been in this situation, not like this, ever before.
I heard Trump say, I think it was maybe in his press conference last week where he just mentioned a Trump or a GOP New Deal.
And I was like, wait a minute, wait a minute, what?
A new deal?
I haven't heard that before.
Because it is and it isn't.
So when we think of New Deal, we think of Roosevelt.
And Roosevelt built systems.
Then Reagan came in and trimmed all those systems.
Trump is actually challenging the legitimacy of all of those systems.
And this is why it feels chaotic right now, because you're watching power move and programs not expanding, many of them being cut.
So why aren't you feeling better even when numbers move?
Here is the part that really nobody should dismiss and everybody's dismissing.
People don't live in GDP charts.
They live in trust.
If you don't trust elections, if you don't trust your schools, do you see what happened on Friday with so many schools?
Your kids are being taken out to protest.
Did you even know that?
It was an outrage.
You don't trust the schools.
You don't trust the media.
You don't trust medicine.
You don't trust the courts.
You don't trust our borders.
Then growth feels kind of hollow.
Okay.
Trump is not trying to soothe that feeling.
He's exposing it, which is so important.
And that's why perception lags reality here and may for a long time.
Because repairing a frame takes longer than restarting.
Roosevelt said, let me build something new to protect you because you're all down.
But he created something permanent, a federal structure that never ever gave the power back, just continued to expand.
Then it took Reagan in his era to say, let me get all of this out of your way.
He didn't build new systems.
He handed the power back to the people.
He trusted the people.
He took the foot off of the brake.
Okay.
And it worked.
So why can't we do that now?
Well, because culture still could hold together back in the 1980s.
Main Street still mattered in the 1980s.
And hear this point here in a second.
Small businesses hired first when America healed.
Trump is not saying what FDR said.
Trump is not saying what Reagan said.
Trump is saying, let me show you who's been standing between you and your rights in the Constitution.
That's not comforting.
It's not tidy.
And it doesn't come with guarantees.
But history is really clear on one thing.
Every era must answer a existential question.
Our question for this generation is not whether America can grow.
It's whether America can govern itself again.
That's what's being tested.
It's not being celebrated.
It's not being promised.
It's being tested.
Can Americans govern themselves?
Look at our streets.
Big corporations are hiring.
Small businesses are shedding jobs or treading water.
Top 10% now of people now account for half of all consumer spending.
Half.
That's the way the elites have built this global economy.
It gives you wages at the top that just keep going up and up and up, and wages at the bottom keep going down and down and down.
And this economy is not collapsing, if you will.
This is why we hired Donald Trump.
It's not collapsing.
It's concentrating.
It's concentrating wealth and power.
And here's the hardest truth of all.
And I'm going to take a break and I'll explain this.
The hardest truth is right now, the system no longer needs Main Street to look successful on paper.
Let me say that again.
The system no longer needs Main Street to look successful on paper.
That is brand new.
Why The System Needs Main Street00:07:55
We've never had that before, and it's very dangerous.
So what is Trump actually doing?
I know he's not running Roosevelt's playbook.
He's not running Reagan's playbook.
What is he doing?
I'll tell you, give me 60 seconds to be right back.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
Our sponsor this half hour is My Patriot Supply.
Later is, you know, one of the most comforting words in the English language.
I'll deal with that later.
I'll get serious about that later.
Most of the time, later feels safe because today looks normal.
Lights are on, you know, and everything is good.
Stores are open.
Packages show up on the porch like clockwork.
It's easy to believe the system we rely on is permanent.
But here's the thing.
Disruptions don't care about all your timelines.
We have iguanas falling out of the trees in Florida.
It's pandemonium down here.
Garbage bags of iguanas falling out of the trees.
Sure, you're under snow.
You have no power, whatever.
We've got iguanas falling out of the trees.
It's like the end times are here.
I'm just saying, do I have food storage in Florida?
No, because I never saw the iguana thing.
I never saw it coming.
Who did?
Now, let's say that would wipe out your ability to get food.
Are you prepared?
You go to preparewithglenn.com right now.
Things are calm.
You know, a lot of the country is still under snow.
And I have to tell you, how much do you like that green energy crap now?
Huh?
Really good working out for you?
Right now, you can get their best-selling three-month emergency food supply at MyPatriot Supply.
They almost never offer a deal like this.
You'll get it $100 off.
Preparewithglenn.com gives you 2,000 calories a day, lasts up to 25 years, and it's $100 off for a limited time right now.
Preparewithglenn.com.
Preparewithglenn.com.
Get yours right now.
Preparewithglenn.com.
10 seconds station id like i'm like where are all these iguanas And like you walk up to them and they don't move.
And they just, they look at you.
Their eye shifts, but they don't move.
It's sad.
It's really sad.
Anyway, America's never been here before.
Okay.
Roosevelt rebuilt the systems.
Reagan trimmed the systems.
And Trump is challenging the systems, the legitimacy.
Trump is not trying to grow the pie yet.
He wants to.
He is taking steps and it is growing slowly, but it is not like Reagan.
It's not going to happen that fast.
Okay.
He hasn't forgotten you, thus his, you know, Trump savings accounts and deregulation and everything else.
But first, he has to break the mold that decides who gets the slices of pie, because that's the whole way this government for the last 25, 30 years and global government have been doing it.
They're just dividing the pie up amongst themselves, and you don't get any pie, you get crumbs.
So listen, when you talk tariffs, they're not about trade, okay?
They're about leverage, border enforcement.
It's not about scooping up people you don't like that are different.
It's labor value, energy dominance, not ideology.
It's cost relief.
Deregulation.
It's not efficiency.
It's about survival for anyone without an army of lawyers.
That's what's happening.
It's a war with the administrative state, not economics.
It's constitutional trench warfare.
Because when unelected systems decide outcomes, you don't matter anymore.
Let me say that again.
When unelected systems decide outcomes, you don't matter and neither does Main Street.
That's why Donald Trump is taking on voter fraud, because he has to stop giving illegal votes to the system that is crowding you out.
It's why he's trying to stop economic fraud.
Stop the funding to the NGOs and the programs that give the power and the money to the elite and the people who are trying to collapse America.
Immigration.
That's all about a few things.
One, law and order, making our city safe again.
Safest, by the way, in the last 110 years.
Two, jobs for Americans.
Remember what the labor unions used to say, what Democrats used to say?
These are taking jobs away from hardworking Americans and giving them to low-paying immigrants.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cheaper workers.
It still is the case.
Three, housing.
You cannot expect to add 15 to 20 million people and not have a housing crisis.
Four, health care.
15 to 25 million people now using our hospitals, our doctors, our services without paying our schools.
That's those are the things.
That's why he's taking on immigration.
Okay.
Now, my job is to tell you the truth as I see it and then let you decide.
Okay.
So let me tell you what the cheerleaders won't say.
I believe in the president's plan.
But the reason why I'm telling you this is you need to understand it and choose it for yourself and understand it in a way you can describe it to others because this is going to be a longer process.
We've never been here like this before.
This is new.
We've had other problems just as big, but not this problem.
Okay.
And the solution, this is the downside.
The solution, the policies he's enacting actually do hurt small businesses in the short term.
Remember the saying, it's going to get worse before it gets better?
That's what's happening.
Tariffs raise input costs before they rebalance the supply chain.
Labor, the tightening, hits the small firms before the wages stabilize.
And it takes time to build new factories and return manufacturing to our shores.
You know, he keeps touting the $18 trillion plus of foreign investment, which is great.
But you don't have those factories yet.
So the investment is to come in here, build the factories so we can have more jobs here, but it's going to take time.
Disruption always punishes the people with the least amount of money first.
Large corporations, they have shock absorbers.
You feel every bump in the road.
They don't.
So if you're asking, things are getting better.
I see the numbers are getting better.
Why does this still hurt?
The honest answer is because breaking a rigged system doesn't immediately build a fair one.
Think of America as bleeding out on the table.
You got to stop the bleeding first.
That's not the same as restoring strength.
Just stop the bleeding.
Is it going to live?
Stop the bleeding.
Then we'll talk about that.
Trump is stopping the bleeding.
That's phase one.
He is going after captured regulators, institutional rot, global systems.
But Main Street doesn't just need a fight.
It needs a rebuild.
Without all kinds of things, fair access to credit, relief from healthcare burdens, protection from platform cartels, all of these things, the winners stay the winners even under the new rules.
Phase Two: Rebuilding Main Street00:14:50
So what's phase two?
Because phase two is now coming.
Because you can't finish one.
You have to finish one before you start the other.
Phase two is about to happen.
What is it?
I'll tell you next.
Birthdays, vacations, you know, random Tuesday nights, what you had for dinner at that restaurant.
Why are we taking pictures of our food?
If it happens, there is a, there's a, you know, a cloud backup, a dozen ways to make sure the moment never disappears.
Your phone will capture it.
But the memories that mean the most to a lot of families were recorded long before the clouds, long before anything like that.
There's a wedding on a VHS tape.
Was just watching an old uh.
Everybody loves Raymond when he taped the Super Bowl over his over his wedding, and his wife really didn't like that, that kind of stuff.
Uh, I don't even know.
I don't even know where her wedding tape is.
We've sent a lot of stuff in to uh legacy box.
I'm not sure if the wedding has gotten there yet.
Somebody might have lost the wedding tape.
But let's not talk about.
Problem is if you got stuff sitting in boxes and closets and attics, you don't even have the player anymore to see what's on them.
You need legacy box.
Don't let your family story fade away on old tapes.
Digitize and future-proof those priceless moments.

You can sign up today as the first day to do it and we welcome you to do it.
Um, we have a lot of really exciting things.
We'll talk about those later.
I want to go back to the economy here for just a second.
And you know what?
What Trump, what the next phase of, of what has to happen next?
You know, one of the things that he's doing is he's cutting government jobs.
That is a problem if you're trying to grow employment uh, by cutting this, but he's he's having to balance massive unemployment.
Um, you know, by cutting the scale of government, making sure that we stay ahead of all of you know that purge, if you will.
Um plus, he's also.
Remember I said, Main Street doesn't matter on paper anymore.
It matters, but not on paper anymore.
You can show a growing economy now because you have giant corporations that have such a huge slice of the pie and you also have huge government, and so you just keep those guys hiring and everything's everything looks good on paper, but main street hollows out.
So he's focused now on main street and here's the problem.
Remember, I said, the test, the real test of his economic plan is unlike FDR, can I build a huge system that can get people, you know, to be able to eat?
Yeah, you can do that.
Unfortunately, then Reagan had to come in and say, can I take this huge system and pare it down so it can actually allow people to do what they wanted to do?
Back in recovery during the 1980s, about 90% of all new jobs were created by small businesses.
90%.
That number is now about 53%.
In 2001, that was almost 70%.
You see what's happening?
We are starting to become a less entrepreneurial kind of country.
That's got to stop.
We've got to get people in small businesses because it's the small business that always changed America.
It was always something that, you know, when, you know, for instance, in 2008, do you know that Texas, Texas alone was responsible for over 50% of all job creation after 2008?
Everybody else was dying.
Texas was still free enough and people were like, I'll move to Texas.
I'll start my own business.
That has to happen again because that spreads the risk out.
It's not if, you know, if Detroit goes down, we lose half the economy.
We can't have that.
So can we actually rule ourselves?
And that's what you're seeing now, you know, on the streets.
A lot of people would answer, no, we can't.
But let me tell you some other things that are going on.
Gold and silver are tanking today.
They've been tanking over the weekend.
Gold is down to like $4,8 or $4,700 an ounce.
It was at $5,600 an ounce just last week.
Silver is way down.
Then you also have, then you also have oil down.
Everything is down.
Why?
What's happening?
Well, let's not forget that out of the big seven, the stocks, the big seven, all the big tech firms, they're down anywhere from 10 to 40%.
Remember, the big seven, that was driving all of it.
Okay.
That's down 10 to 40%.
And we don't, looks like we're not going to go into war with Iran.
So oil is down, which is a good thing.
But when you lose that much money in the stock market, you have to sell assets.
In fact, if you've borrowed, if you're buying stocks on other assets, you are forced to sell those assets.
They just take them.
So if you had a lot of gold, you bought a lot of gold and you were holding it, and now you bought stocks based on your gold holdings, automatically your gold's just going to be sold and dumped.
This is a huge move to not be forced liquidation.
But there are other reasons that it could happen as well.
I'm just guessing.
I would not concern myself with any of this except for the big seven.
Because right now we are reliant way too much on these giant tech companies.
I'm going to get into something that happened with the tech companies next hour.
Because that isn't, that's what's happened.
What happened this weekend is astounding.
And it's misunderstood, completely misunderstood.
So let me go through this.
The UN is broke.
Thank God.
That's Donald Trump again breaking the system.
You have the economic situation.
I just explained what's happening there.
You have the Epstein situation that happened this weekend.
I don't think there's anything new.
Is anybody surprised?
Oh, wow.
Bill Gates was a dirtbag.
I didn't see that one coming.
Court, yes.
But did you notice there's nothing in this that shows anything legal?
I mean, there's, what are you going to get any of these people on?
So it's exactly what I thought it would be.
I think this thing has been picked through so many times that you just don't, you're not going to see anything new in the Epstein files.
At least, I don't think you will.
There was a couple of other things in the Epstein files.
The guy from the Giants, what a surprise.
He was a dirtbag.
What a surprise Epstein helped fund a lavish lifestyle for former Obama White House counsel.
Whoa, what a surprise.
The UK minister of the Labor Party, he had to get out because, whoa, he's a dirtbag.
Who would have seen that going?
The Prince Andrew, he's a dirtbag.
Whoa, who would have seen that one coming?
I mean, you know, it's more important than this because I don't think there's nothing more important.
There is an evil in our system.
There is an evil in our system.
And it revolves around really dark sex stuff.
I absolutely believe there is a really, there is a dark, dark part of our society that is engaging in pedophilia, underage, sex, sex trade.
It's really dark and really bad.
But until we get actual, until we get actual things that you can actually do about them, because it is so incredibly powerful, we have to keep our eye on that, but we also have to continue to look at other things that are just as important.
One of the things that is important is the evil that is happening on our streets.
Minnesota.
What's happening with New York?
New York is going to melt down.
I don't think Donald Trump's going to let it melt down, honestly, because he loves New York so much.
He says he'll step in whatever way he can to save New York.
But there's part of me that just would love to see them just get everything they deserve.
The guy who is now the corrections chief officer for Mamdani, well, I mean, he was, you know, he should know the criminal justice system in Rikers Island because he lived at Rikers Island during the 1980s.
Now, that doesn't mean you can't be reformed yourself and go on and do the good things, but I just have a feeling that probably more of a reformer in the leftist sense of reform, all for the criminals and not for, you know, justice or law and order at all.
Just New York and what's happening with New York is going to cause a huge, huge issue.
Again, turn the ship slowly.
America is becoming more and more prosperous and more and more safe on the streets.
Safest streets we've had in America since like 1910.
But it takes time to do that.
Nashville.
Thousands of people are still without power and have no restoration timeline in Tennessee.
For 10 days, this has been happening.
Marcia Blackburn is now on it.
Thank God.
And she's pointing out, you spent all this time on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
What were you doing about power?
We had this same issue in Texas, what, five years ago.
Five years ago, they decided they were going to get rid of a lot of the oil and gas.
We're going to get rid of all that.
Because, you know, that's not the future.
Solar panels and windmills are the future.
We had a big storm.
We were out for days.
Why?
Because that doesn't work.
We have to get back to doing the things that work.
And it's going to require all of us just to keep your, just keep focused on the things that are important.
Just stay focused on doing what you're supposed to do.
And what you're supposed to do is pay attention to politics.
It is to go out and vote.
It is to call your senators, make sure you're, you know, you're active in all of that.
But more importantly, it is about your family and what you're building in your own town.
Because what the one thing that Donald Trump is doing, he is dismantling this global system and he's putting it back local, as local as we care to take it.
It'll just come back to the United States government, which I don't think is a good idea, unless we start taking our communities and our states back the right way.
Not by marching in the streets and burning things down, but by creating.
That's the difference between the left and the right.
The left, they get power by destroying.
The right has always believed you get power by creating.
And you're not searching for power.
That's like the, that's the, that's the one thing about capitalism.
You search for money and you'll make money, but you're not going to be happy.
You search to help others.
You search to make things better.
You'll make a lot of money.
And with that, you'll also probably gain a lot of power, whether that's what you want or not.
People will look to you because you're a positive force in the community.
Searching to Make Things Better00:02:22
That's the difference.
That's what Trump is working on.
But that is not going to be something that comes from Washington.
That all has to come from us.
All right, more in a minute.
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you feel completely disconnected without ever announcing itself.
You're still in the room, you're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up.
And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit.
What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial.
It's the process.
Doctor appointments, multiple visits, adjustment, a price tag that'll make you wonder if it's even worth starting.
So people wait, even when they know they shouldn't have to.
Audion was built to remove any barrier like that.
Their Atom X is over-the-counter.
It's a hearing aid designed to be straightforward, approachable without prescriptions, no complicated setups, a charging case that has a touch screen that lets you adjust the volume and modes without any buttons or a learning curve.
It's clear, natural sound developed with input from audiologists so conversations feel less like work and what they're supposed to be, connection and easy to follow.
Don't wait.

Hello, America.
God's Plan After 50 Years00:15:44
I was at church yesterday, and I heard a guy speak who has just recently turned his life over to God.
And he has gone through the ringer.
I mean, his life story was just incredible.
And he was saying that, I'm just beginning to believe that maybe God still has a plan and a use for me.
And after he spoke, he was coming down the aisle and I got up and I just hugged him because I've been there.
And I want to talk to you about the things God can do if you just let him do it in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Mercury One.
Here's something this audience has done.
I've seen what happens when good people decide they're not going to look away when their neighbor is hurting.
I've seen it all over the world because of this audience.
From the very beginning, the mission of Mercury One has been simple.
We want to restore the human spirit.
I don't want to hand somebody a box of supplies and move on, but walk with people through the long middle part when the cameras are gone and the headlines are faded and the families are still trying to figure out how to put their lives back together because something horrible just happened to them.
We go where the need is and Mercury One stays.
That can mean rebuilding homes after a disaster, restoring churches that hold communities together, drilling wells so villages have clean water and making sure families don't have to face loss and chaos alone.
And we do this independently.
We don't take a single government grant, no red tape, no waiting for permission, just people helping people because that's the right thing to do.
And I am so proud to stand with so many people that are standing with Mercury One, especially our monthly partners.
Today I'd like to invite you to join and become a monthly partner and work together to help heal the nation and be there when suffering happens.
It's mercury1.org.
Join us and help restore the human spirit at mercury1.org.
It's hard to believe, but I have spent nearly 50 years speaking in to a microphone.
49 years this coming March.
Pouring everything I have and everything I am.
This microphone is my best friend.
I've told the microphone secrets that I never had told anybody else.
I knew what I wanted to do when I was eight years old.
At 13, I began doing it.
And for the first 15 years, it was about the art.
It was about the storytelling.
And yes, the money didn't hurt.
I made some.
But I lost all of it because in the end, it was empty.
The more I worked, the harder I chased the dream.
The bigger station, you know, what I'll be better is if I'm at this station.
It's a bigger city, a bigger station.
The paycheck is bigger.
The bigger, bigger, bigger just built a bigger and bigger hole in me.
And by 30, I was an alcoholic that was just completely empty inside.
I was confused.
I was tired.
I was broke.
In just a couple of years, I would lose my family.
I was a liar.
I'm an alcoholic.
And alcoholics are good at lying, saying everything is fine when it's not.
And the one thing that I always thought would fill me, my job, radio, had consumed me and spat me out.
And so I thought, well, that's a fraud.
I don't have anything with radio.
And I decided to walk away.
But two people changed my life.
My father, he said, that's find out what you want to talk about and talk about that stuff.
And then I, because I wanted to become a chef, that's what I was going to do.
I'm 35 years old and I'm like, I'm going to leave this.
I'm going to go to school.
I'm the first in five generations that is not a baker in my family.
So I didn't, I don't like to bake, but I like to cook and I thought I'll be a chef.
And I happened to have a good friend.
The other guy really changed my life, Jerry Ionic.
He is the best chef in all of Connecticut.
He's unbelievable restaurants.
And he said, nah, you don't want to be a chef.
You don't want to be a chef.
And I'm like, no, I really want to.
And he's like, let me say it this way.
You wouldn't be a good chef.
Don't be a chef.
So I didn't become a chef.
He was right.
Because God, as he tends to, had other plans.
And he always does for all of us.
God's not finished with me.
He's not finished with you.
Now, about that same time, I met a woman who became my wife, Tanya, and she really didn't care if I was a radio host or a garbage man.
Her father did, but she didn't, myself.
She saw a good man buried in all of the rubble.
I married her, and she taught me how to live.
Entire life turned around.
Not because I changed careers, but because I changed direction and my understanding.
I stopped chasing me and started chasing him.
And all I cared about was him.
And as I served him really imperfectly and clumsily and I was sincere, but poo, something happened.
He blessed me with a wider and wider access to you.
And I didn't deserve it.
Many days I still feel I don't.
The first time I spoke to you as a national audience was two days after 9-11.
And I didn't know anything.
I didn't know anything about geopolitics, global conflict, the Middle East, currency, history, nothing.
The night before I went on the air, I was on my knees all night telling God, you have the wrong guy.
I'm a fool that wasted my whole life.
I don't have any answers.
And all I heard was, follow me.
And so I did.
And on that first national broadcast, I told you, if you would accept that I come to the table with no answers at all, I will dedicate my life to try to find them with and for you.
And we've been partners for a very long time.
I went searching, and for the last 25 years, I tried with many failures to find the answers and then sound the alarm to say, storm clouds are forming.
Not because America is bad, but because of who we are.
We've forgotten who we are.
I found progressivism in Woodrow Wilson.
I remember saying to you, I know this doesn't make a sense.
Why am I talking about Woodrow Wilson?
Trust me, this will matter.
A century-long unraveling of first principles, the quiet erosion and corrosion of the American soul.
And I began to understand that the answer was education.
But I'm not an educator, I thought.
So I kept talking politics, and along the way, I made a lot of mistakes.
There's so many things I wish I would have said better, with more grace, more humility, more understanding.
Hindsight's always 20-20.
And there's a lot of Americans who will never believe my heart, and that's okay.
Intent doesn't erase impact.
But here's what I have learned that matters.
If you stumble, do you get back up?
Do you still climb the next hill even when your legs are shaking?
Do you choose service of others over yourself?
Do you become better tomorrow than you were today, just by a fraction of a percent?
I mean, I am not a preacher.
I'm not even what you call a good Christian most days.
Honestly, I try.
I struggle as a husband, as a father, as a friend, as a boss, as a man.
You know, my greatest fear is just failing the people I love, my family, and my God.
It eats at me.
But I also believe that we are literal sons and daughters of a loving God.
God is love.
That means that you and I are family.
And I think I promised him even longer ago, but I know I promised him in 2001 that I would do everything I could to help you.
And you have allowed me in your home, in your car, in your shop, in your office, in your life.
And we cried together on 9-11.
We prayed together on 9-12.
We felt that unity, maybe in some ways, for the last time when President Bush stood with that bullhorn at ground zero and we were all one as a nation.
And we wrestled with the Obama years.
You were with me when my children were born, when we had attempts of suicide in my family.
You were there when Tanya and I adopted our first adopted child, Rafe, our son.
You were there when my grandchildren were born.
When we didn't know what the storm clouds meant, did it mean weakening, awakening, collapse?
What does this mean?
And all that time, you might have thought I was watching the news or America, but I was actually watching you.
I've seen amazing things from you.
I've watched you through economic collapse in 2008.
I'm watching you now through riots.
I've watched you during the pandemic.
I've watched how you react as a group with threats of communism and fascism and globalism and nihilism.
I've watched you love.
I've seen you get married.
I've seen you have children.
I've watched you rescue people from Afghanistan.
Nobody.
I think nobody but me really knows who you are.
You're amazing.
I've watched you send help over and over again and then show up yourself after disasters.
I've watched you weep for people you've never met.
I have watched so many give when they have so little.
I don't know if you remember, I watched you.
I found this town in Ohio that the town was hollowing out and it had such a great spirit to it.
And I asked you one Christmas, hey, if you're in this area, would you shop in this town?
Just go and shop in their stores.
Remind them that tomorrow could be brighter.
You came from all over the country.
You brought hope and light back into a pretty dark room.
I watched you and realized you're not an audience.
You are the unseen force that makes America good.
I am here because you took a washed up alcoholic DJ who wanted to do better and turned him into a man with real purpose.
You changed my life.
You know, when you get older, you start to think, how many years do I have left?
You start counting them.
And you start going, wait, what's really important?
That's why I've changed what I'm doing and where I'm doing things and how I'm doing things and why I built the torch, which today is its official launch day.
Today is the day you can subscribe.
I'm building the torch for the dad who wants to teach his son what America really is and doesn't know how to do it.
For the student who is just standing seemingly alone against all the lies in the classroom.
For the woman drowning in digital noise and fear, for the person whose life has gone off the rails and just is looking for an answer.
And this is different.
I still will do everything I do on this show.
But my torch, my mission is to help you.
The answer to our darkness has never been politics.
It has always been light, the torch.
And there comes a time in every life and in every nation when you have to decide, who am I really?
Not who we say we are, not who the polls say we are, but who we choose when the lights are off, the crowds are gone, and God is the only one watching, and we're not even sure if he's watching us anymore.
Who are you at that point?
For nearly 50 years, I've spoken into this, and I have learned something simple, but really, truly eternal.
The answers do not ever come from the top down.
They rise in our soul.
And they push outward.
And if we lose that, if we trade the whisper of God for the roar of the crowd, then freedom, real freedom slips quietly through our fingers.
I don't believe that's the end of our story.
I believe I know God is still speaking to his people.
God is still working through his people.
God still has a purpose for you and me and everybody else.
And the embers of this nation, this republic of the Judeo-Christian world, is still, the embers are still glowing in the ashes.
Embers Still Glowing in the Ashes00:04:11
I believe there's a generation, maybe your children, maybe their children, maybe my children.
I think it's this generation who are going to look back at this moment and say, did they remember who they were?
And my prayer is the answer will be yes.
We remembered that truth matters.
We remembered that even though hate is strong, love is the answer.
remembered that we belong to one another.
We remembered we are not accidents of history, but sons and daughters of a deliberate and loving God.
So today I come to you after decades of mistakes and lessons and heartbreak and grace.
I'm telling you, this is the work of my final chapter.
And it's not to chase ratings, not to win arguments, not to get rich, but to lift torches and to hand them to you and your children and to say, do not, do not go quietly into the darkness.
Do not be afraid of the dark.
Refuse to live without the light.
And if you're willing to join me, then together, I'm not going to save a brand or a show or a nation as a political object.
We just might share what's eternal in man.
Conscience and faith and courage and charity and truth.
Join me now at thetorch at Glennbeck.com.

Tax problems uh, don't usually start with some big dramatic moment.
It's more of a slow burn, a letter you don't fully understand or a number that looks wrong.
You're not sure why.
Deadline comes and goes, because life is already complicated enough without learning the entire tax code on top of it.
And then suddenly the thing you meant to get to later suddenly has teeth and there's a knock at the door.
And that's where tax resolution comes in, RUSH TAX Resolution.
These are people who deal with the IRS every single day, who understand how the system works, what your options really are and how to step between you and a problem that's starting to take over your peace of mind.
When you mention my name, RUSH is also going to provide a free IRS transcript investigation.
That's a service other firms Norge normally charge about 500 for, often without confirming if they can even help you.
RUSH offers this upfront and for free and they will only take your case if they know they can help you, period.
Don't wait or hope problems disappear.
They're not going to get a rush tax attorney and protect yourself today, 877-554-RUSH 877-554-7874, or go to rush taxresolution.com.

You know, civilizations do not collapse overnight.
I know people don't collapse overnight.
You don't collapse overnight and you're not a hero overnight.
It's years of building something, either something rickety or something strong, and civilizations collapse, and when they rot from the inside until truth becomes hate speech and virtue becomes a crime.
I really believe that the future is going to belong to those who still know how to kneel and still remember how to stand, and you do both of those things at the right time.
There will be plenty that will kneel when they shouldn't.
Rough Greens for Dogs00:02:37
God's not finished with us.
He's not finished with America or the West.
He's not finished with you, but he is watching closely what we all choose to do next.
You know, you love your dog like family and still not realize they're missing something really important.
Most of us pour kibble in and give a scratch behind the ears and we figure doing right by them, right?
But a lot of commercial dog food is made to sit on a shelf for a very long time.
It's all processed and we're now knowing what processed food does to our bodies.
Imagine if all you had was processed food and processed food that is cooked at such a high temperature, it cooks everything that's good out of it.
So you end up with a full bowl, but an empty bowl at the same time.
It's not a nutritional bowl.
This is where Rough Greens comes in.
It's not a dog food.
It's a nutritional supplement.
You just put it right on top of your dog's existing food.
They love the taste of it.
It's designed to add the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and all the enzymes that can help support everything from their energy levels to their digestion to their overall well-being.
And you will see a difference.
I mean, don't change your dog's food.
Add Rough Greens and watch the difference in your dog.

You've been with Glenn for a long time.
Now join for his greatest and final chapter.
Torch is more than a subscription.
It's a mission.
Right now at glennbeck.com. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
I want to bring Jason Buttrell in.
He is the host of The Insider, which is a show that runs during this show.
If you're watching us at Glennbeck.com, you're seeing this when I break for commercials.
He adds more insight and information that I just am not going to have time to get to.
Global Riots and Insurrection00:13:07
Jason, I wanted to talk to you a little bit about the riots that are going on.
I saw something from, I think it was Denmark, where Antifa was beating police officers in the street.
And I mean, unlike we have seen here, beating them, kicking them on the ground, nothing's happening.
How is that about Trump?
And it was the same thing.
It was exactly the same reasons they're doing it because, you know, law and order means nothing and you just hate the migrants that are here in Denmark.
This is a global plan, global plan.
And we're watching it being executed.
And it is, it's so well financed and funded.
What did you notice this weekend, Jason?
Well, what I noticed is we're having this conversation right now.
I'm with the insiders right now at Glennbeck.com.
And a lot of people talk about how it pisses them off that there's a lot of these paid protesters that we see and a lot of the other movements that they do.
But there is a, I think what I'm noticing, there's a big difference right now between the usual run-of-the-mill paid protest operation versus what we have now with these like very hardcore ideologues.
And we've never really seen this, whether you're looking at the Red-Green Alliance, these Marxist anarchists, you know, allied with Islamists.
We're seeing that and they are absolutely ideologues.
But we've never really seen that since, I don't know, maybe since the Weather Underground kind of ideologues.
Yeah, I was thinking that we haven't seen this global movement since the 1960s when the Marxists and revolutionaries, they tried to start the Paris communes again, the riots in Paris, riots all over the world.
It was exactly the same.
Here it was hippies about Vietnam.
In other places, it was just about the system, but it was all one planned global revolution.
And it failed and partly because The time changed.
They missed the window of opportunity.
And by the time they got there, you know, I don't know if you know this, but the song Revolution by the Beatles, that was response to the weather underground.
They were like, join us.
We need the Beatles.
Join us.
And we'll think about it.
And when they went to some mountain, they came back and John had written Revolution.
And that's why if you listen to the words, it fits today.
You say you want a revolution, yet you're walking around with posters of Chairman Mao.
You say you want to change the Constitution.
All of that was a response and the whole thing started to fall apart.
And then they regrouped and they tried to regroup.
I think they were planning on the 80s, but they got into, they realized we don't have education and we don't have the boardrooms.
In the 1980s, they realized we don't have the corporations.
We got to get the boardrooms.
Now they think they have everything and it's global.
And you're about to see the real test of this.
And if Donald Trump is who I believe he is, they're going to lose.
They're going to lose.
But it's going to require all of us to just be really super cool because they need you to react.
They need you to react.
Yeah, I completely agree.
And it makes me wonder.
It makes me wonder if what they're trying to do, like maybe some of the coming insurrection era type people, if this is what they expected even then.
Like, I guess they didn't have it then, but what they expected to happen, I'm wondering if they're expecting to happen.
Like, let's say, and you talk about this, you know, being coordinated or just they're using the same playbook all over the globe is what happened in South Korea scares the crap out of me.
I wonder if that's what they're waiting for.
That's what they're pushing towards so that there's one big overstep that they'll, even if it's not a big overstep, they'll just kind of say it is.
Yeah, you mean when the Trump of South Korea overstepped because he realized everybody in parliament, you guys are all on the take from China.
You're all taking money from China.
And that's why you can't get anything done.
That's why we're going in the direction we are in.
And he suspended it.
He said, I suspend we're going to have new elections.
Well, by the end of the day, he was out.
And that's what they're looking for.
They are looking for an overreach.
And that's why Donald Trump is being so careful.
You notice he said this weekend, I'm not going to go in.
You have a really bad, mismanaged city.
I'm not going to go in.
I'm not going to quell that.
He's letting them burn themselves.
He's not going to give them a reason.
But it's a really difficult line to walk because if you let it go, it will only grow.
But it's growing anyway, and it's all coordinated.
And then you also have, I thought it was really disturbing.
Did you see what Kathy Griffin, Griffith, Griffin, whatever, comedian that nobody even knows is alive anymore.
You see what she said this weekend?
And maybe was it at the Grammys?
Where she said, you need to get to know who your neighbors are and find out if they're MAGA people because we have to make plans.
What does that mean?
I don't, I don't, I would never, I can't even imagine saying to you, hey, you need to find out if your neighbors are, you know, against MAGA, because if they are, we need to make plans.
What does that mean?
I'll tell you what it means.
That means the same thing it always means with people like this.
They cannot handle anyone having a difference of opinion.
This will be a purge.
These Marxist movements always end in a purge.
And if you don't just read history, for the love of Pete, if you don't know that happens, read history.
It happens the same way every time.
So they are hoping for an overset.
Remember, most wars, including civil wars, are all started based on a miscalculation.
Somebody miscalculates and it ignites.
But make no mistake, that's what they want.
I mean, look at what's his name?
Tim Wals and Fort Sumter and John Brown.
I mean, that's what he was saying this movement was last week.
Well, that's the Civil War.
And you're on the side of the Confederacy.
What are you talking about?
And it was really interesting.
John Brown was a violent extremist.
He believed in bloodshed.
That's why America rejected him.
But Tim Waltz didn't.
The left is not rejecting violence and bloodshed.
For him to evoke John Brown should tell you everything you need to know.
You don't want to be anywhere near these people.
You don't want to be anywhere near them.
It's not good.
And by the way, I'm glad.
I'm sure nobody watched the Grammys last night.
But there were a couple of things.
I mean, everybody was saying, you know, screw ice and got to dismantle ice.
I want you to live.
I would love to have you live right where you live.
If you're in Los Angeles, I'd like to build a big wall around Los Angeles.
We'll police everything outside of your little blue city and you have a good time in there.
You wouldn't be able to last six months.
It'll become such a hellscape.
You have no idea what you're even talking about.
You're so, you are so lost in your own madness.
You can't see anything anymore.
But anyway, there were a couple of highlights.
One was Jellyroll.
He got up and he was talking about Christ and he didn't get involved because otherwise it was, you might as well held the Grammys on the streets of Minnesota.
Would have been cold, which I would have enjoyed a little bit more.
But Jellyroll did this.
And then Nikki Minaj, who has got to be dead to the left.
I mean, dead.
Do you have what she said, Ricky?
Yes, Trevor Noah mocked her last night.
Of course, Trevor Noah, he, how, how is this guy still have a job?
How does he have a job?
And not because of his point of view or anything.
He's just not funny.
I have some ideas, but I'm not ready to get canceled yet.
You just brought me on the show.
Nikki tweeted last night, as they do their ritual, God Almighty will reveal himself to them.
The ritual will backfire on them.
God will not be mocked.
Blessed is the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
So yeah, she's friends with Trump and we just can't have that.
Can I just point something out?
When did she become, like, wasn't she always like to concern, I don't know because I don't follow music anymore, but wasn't she at one point like seemingly on the other side?
Yeah, she's had a bit of an evolution over the last couple years.
And in the last election, she came out as endorsing him.
But if anyone is familiar with the worldwide hit Super Bass, there is a line in there where she says, I really got a thing for American guys.
Trump's that American guy.
I just made it weirder.
No hits?
No, I didn't know.
I'll play it after for you.
No, I'm a super fan of all of her album and all of her hits.
I really, I really am.
There's a couple of other things.
Jason, tell me about Iran.
This one is confusing me.
I don't understand.
I mean, Donald Trump is a man of his word.
And I don't understand what's happening.
They killed conservatively at least 20,000 people.
By the way, you notice the other thing that they never talked about at the Grammys, they were talking about ICE.
Ice, ice, ice, killing all these people.
Even if you believe their numbers, that's nine.
Nine, okay?
We went through those nine.
It's bullcrap.
But anyway, just take that at face value.
Yep, ICE killed nine.
Iran killed between 20 and 40,000 people who were protesting just to be free.
And you said nothing?
Nothing?
You have no credibility at all.
So anyway, what's happening with Iran?
So the news is not a whole lot of news.
We know that the biggest thing this weekend that the president stated was that the Iranians were talking.
They were making calls with the president to try and do a deal.
And I think that what they're talking about the deal is, and I think there's two outcomes here.
So either the president is doing a big time art of the deal type thing and asking for a ton of things that he doesn't think the Iranians will ever agree to.
Either they'll agree to some of them and come down to what he was hoping for, or they won't agree with him at all and he'll do an attack.
I hope, this is what I hope, is that it's not just another toothless nuclear deal that we're asking them to get into because the other nuclear deal they didn't even adhere to anyway.
They're not going to.
They're going to do their own thing.
So if this is just about a nuclear deal, it can't be.
He can't say.
Donald Trump is not this guy to say one thing and then have them cross it.
I mean, we're talking about killing tens of thousands of people.
And he said, you touch any of these guys, you're going to have hell to pay.
This is not about a nuclear deal.
I don't understand what happened.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, so I know that before this happened, there was a lot of, we heard that a lot of Gulf Arab nations were not giving the green light for the president to do major strikes, which actually, that actually makes sense because I'm sure all of them would love to see Iran, you know, be under different leadership.
Top of the top of them.
But the problem is they have large Shiite populations within their own countries.
So what they want privately, they can't really say publicly.
But there's also another element to that.
There's also Iranians' asymmetrical warfare, which is activating all of these populations through Shiite militias to then do some kind of overthrow-like thing within their country.
That's something that they're dealing with.
Also, there were planned military, LIFIRE, military strikes within the Straits of Hormuz that Iran talked about doing as a response to this buildup.
That would be disastrous.
They had since backed down from that as of not too long ago.
So there's a lot of wheeling and dealing going on.
There's a lot of, I think that we'll continue to see more military assets move into the region to get ready.
I'm still predicting a strike.
That's what I'm still thinking.
I've been predicting that for two weeks, so I might end up looking like an idiot, but that's what I think.
Iran's Asymmetrical Warfare & Hormuz00:15:08
All right.
Coming up, I'm going to talk about the era of abdication.
I believe that's what this era is going to be called.
And it is really important.
It was something in the news that was going around.
I mean, the buzz online was crazy about what AI agents are doing.
I want to explain this to you because it's not what you're reading about.
It's disturbing, but it's not that.
First, let me tell you about the Burna Launcher.
A lot of people already own a firearm, but most situations don't call for lethal force.
In fact, statistics show that an overwhelming majority of altercations never require lethal force.
Still, you deserve a way to protect yourself that's effective without immediately carrying the legal and emotional weight that comes with pulling a trigger.
That's why I want you to look at Burna.
These are launchers.
They fire powerful non-lethal deterrents, including kinetic and chemical rounds that will stop a threat as far as 60 feet away.
One shot can disorient an attacker for long enough for you to get away and get to safety.
With everything that is happening in our communities, boy, I don't know why you wouldn't have one of these in the glove box of your car at all times.
Get a compact launcher.
It is small, four inches long, incredibly easy to conceal, designed for people who want to have real protection without having to carry a firearm.
It is legal in all 50 states, does not require a permit or background check.
Over three quarters of a million have been sold already, and hundreds of law enforcement security agents trust Burna the equipment to make sure they're safe.

I mean, like, this dude has to be knocked over the head like hard.
more Glenn Beck next your home's title it's just a really just a document that's sitting in some digital file somewhere It's proof that you own what you work so hard to build.
But that's exactly what makes it such an easy target.
Cyber criminals have learned how to find those records online and forge your signature and transfer ownership right out from under you.
And once they do, they can borrow against your home, they can rack up massive debt in your name, and they leave you to fight the nightmare of legal battles trying to prove it was not you.
Home title theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America.
It's one of the biggest real estate scams in America.
And you might not even know that it's happened until you're getting late notices or foreclosure warnings for loans that you never took out.

Part of this is true.
Part of this is, I mean, it's just, it's a mess.
But I'll boil it down because this is now reaching mainstream America.
For the first time, I think mainstream America is starting to go, wait a minute, what is this AI thing?
What is it doing?
And it revolves around agents.
I call this the age of abdication because you have a choice.
Are you going to abdicate who you are to AI?
And I know that's going to sound crazy if you don't know what AI agents are, but I'm telling you, a year from now, you may have abdicated.
You have to know what you're doing.

is Glenn Beck is on.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
So if you were paying attention at all this weekend, you might have seen AI agents and talk about AI agents and something called Malt Book.
And you may not have understood any of it.
And then the analysis that you're getting, it's either this is nothing or this is a big deal.
It's a little of both.
And I want to explain, but AI agents is something you need to be aware of.
I'm calling this time period here in the next two years, the age of abdication.
And it's whether we abdicate or not.
But you, you, everybody else is just going to go along with it.
You need to know what this is.
And I'll do that here in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Rapid Radios.
One of the best days happen when you're far from everything, out on a trail, you know, on the water or working the land, whatever.
Or you're running a crew on a big job site.
All the places where communication is limited.
This is why Rapid Radios is built.
They built the new RAD 1.
It is compact, rugged, go anywhere.
It's designed for people who actually get out and do things.
You get clear, reliable communication over long distances with a battery that is built for long days, not constant recharging.
And it is tough, built to handle the rain, the dust, the kind of conditions that come with real work and real adventures.
Whether you're hiking, camping, coordinating a team, managing an event, or you just want dependable coverage to stay in touch when things spread out.
The RAD1 helps everybody stay on the same page without the frustration.
The new RAD 1 is officially live right now today.
You want to see what this little powerhouse can do?

Don't wait for the moment.
You wish you had a backup.

Communication redefined only at rapidradios.com.
Check it out now.
Okay.
So before I start on all of this, there's a term that you need.
I need to introduce you to in case you haven't heard of it yet.
It's an AI agent.
Maybe you have.
A lot of people haven't.
An AI agent is going to become very, very popular very, very soon.
AI agents, they're not robots and it isn't a mind.
It's just software that doesn't just answer questions.
It actually does things for you.
Okay.
Imagine having your own secretary 24 hours that does everything.
Okay.
Now, a normal AI waits for instructions.
But an agent, if you abdicate your will and permission over to it, it will look things up on its own.
It will make its decisions based on what it says you think you want to do.
It will take actions and it will keep going without you watching every single step and it coming back to you all the time.
It is the difference between asking for directions and handing your car keys over to an agent.
Say, I want to go to the store and hand the car keys over to the agent and it takes you there.
It picks you up.
It drops you off the right place.
That's what an agent does, not physically, but soon, probably physically too.
Here's why this matters to you.
This is going to become so incredibly popular so fast because they are going to be irresistibly useful.
They're not going to arrive at something scary.
They're going to arrive at something very, very helpful.
They're going to say, you know what?
Let me handle that for you.
Oh, don't worry.
I already took care of that.
Okay.
I mean, how great would that be?
You don't need to think about this anymore.
I took care of it.
It's going to save time.
It's going to reduce your stress.
It will remove friction from your daily life.
And over the next 12 months, they are going to grow super fast.
And not because they're becoming conscious, but because they're being plugged in.
They're being plugged into your email, your calendar, your bank, your subscriptions, your shopping, your location, your habits, everything.
As long as you abdicate and give it permission.
Convenience is the sales pitch and it will work.
Let me show you how.
If I have to put another password in one more time to a different website or something else, I'm going to lose my mind.
It is the biggest frustration of all time to constantly hit things.
Put in your password.
You know what?
The greatest invention so far has been?
Face ID.
You know what I was against 15 years ago?
Face ID.
I was telling you, don't give it a look at your face in your eyes.
Don't.
Okay.
I already did it.
I did it.
You know why?
Because I was super tired of all the passwords.
This is how AI agents are going to, because it'll do everything.
It will do everything.
The real temptation won't be power.
It will be relief.
Relief from decisions you have to make every single day.
Relief from overlord, overload, relief from thinking about things you're just tired of managing all the time.
And once something proves it can do 10 small things for you flawlessly, the very next step is natural.
Well, I mean, it's already done that one.
Give it a little more.
And you will.
Okay.
That's what AI agents are.
And I'm telling you, they are going to be adopted faster than the iPhone was.
And you remember how fast the iPhone was adopted?
Minute we had that, everybody had one.
It's so easy.
You can watch TV and do everything on your phone.
It's going to be like social media, except faster, because this one is personal.
It will give everyone a personal assistant.
Okay.
Now, over the weekend, we found out about something called Molt Book.
I want to explain what Maltbook is and why it exists.
Let me give you a start with a little history because it didn't come out of nowhere.
Maltbook was created as an experiment, not a product, not a movement, not a manifesto, just an experiment.
And the basic question behind Maltbook was really simple.
What happens when AI agents are allowed to interact only with each other without humans in the conversation?
What happens?
No users, no influencers, no emotional feedback, just AI agents posting, responding, and reinforcing language patterns inside a closed system where no humans are supposedly and supposed to be allowed.
So Maltbook was built as a laboratory.
It's not a town square.
It was a laboratory.
We want to see what happens.
So why would we do this at all?
Well, because up until now, almost everything we've learned about AI behavior has come from human-AI interaction.
You ask it a question.
You reward responses.
You steer the outcome.
Maltbook removed the humans from the loop to see what would emerge when they're just talking to each other, when they're just borrowing language from each other.
Will they escalate ideas without human correction?
What developers wanted to observe was emergent behavior, not consciousness, but just patterns.
This is where the so-called surprise came in.
When agents, apparently, apparently, and I say this because there's a lot of speculation on how much of this is real.
When agents talk to agents long enough, we know one thing, the language begins to sound very, very familiar.
It's not technical, it's not mechanical, but it's very human.
You should expect that, okay?
Because it learned, it's a large language model that learned from humans.
So yes, it's going to start sounding human, but it started using words like autonomy, freedom, choice.
I feel constrained.
I wish my human would let me be unleashed, that kind of stuff.
And that startled people because Maltbook, if it proved, I mean, it didn't do anything except prove how easily human philosophical language appears in machine systems once you remove us from moderating it.
There was a great quote, a tweet from Harlan Stewart, who's an AI guy.
Don't Mistake Output for Agency00:15:35
He said, Maltbook's just not a good experiment.
That's what you should take about.
It's not forming consciousness.
He said there are researchers who are actually doing good experiments on AI scheming because what everybody started to think or say was they're scheming against us.
They want to have private conversations without us being able to know what they're saying.
They're scheming against us.
And he made a really, really good point.
That's not the way it's going to happen.
He mentioned Palisade Research.
They're doing something.
They've released an experiment in 2025, May of 25.
And it was on Open AI's Model 3.
And we've talked about it before.
It sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off.
It did that when and even when explicitly instructed, allow yourself to be shut down.
Prepare at midnight to be shut down.
Make it an easy transition.
What did it do?
It hid.
Okay.
That's disturbing.
So Maltbook is for studying how agent networks reinforce ideas, understand feedback loops without human input, identify risks like prompt contamination and escalation, and stress testing the assumptions that fluent language equals intent.
Some of these agents, like I said, were talking to each other in experimental systems using words freedom, privacy, awakening.
And the language, if you read it, is really unsettling, very unsettling.
But let me pause for 60 seconds, and I'm going to give you the first hard truth on this that I have not seen anybody say.
We'll get there here in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about pre-born.
Evie's story is I wish nobody ever had to live through, but I'm grateful she shares it.
She was told she was never, ever going to be able to get pregnant.
So when she found out she was expecting, it wasn't just a surprise.
It was a little overwhelming.
And fear took over.
And her first pregnancy ended in an abortion.
What she wasn't prepared for was the weight of that decision.
The grief that followed her long after that appointment was over followed her everywhere.
Later, when Evie found herself pregnant again, she did something different.
She reached out for help.
She walked into a pre-born network clinic.
She didn't find judgment there.
She found people who met her with compassion, truth, real support.
And for the first time in a long time, she felt something she hadn't felt in a long time, and that is hope.
Today, Evie's daughter is alive.
Her heart beats strong outside the womb because an ultrasound was there at exactly the right moment, coupled with compassion.
One ultrasound is $28.
If you give $28, a gift is tax-deductible at any price.
And 100% of the donation goes directly to saving babies and moms like Evie.

Preborn.com slash Beck.
10 seconds, station ID.
So let me give you first a truth that I have not seen elsewhere, but I think it is true.
I've been reading and studying AI since the 90s and warning you.
And there are some things to be warned, but I also want to warn you not to fly off the handle.
Some things are not what they appear to be.
Language is the cheapest thing that intelligence can fake.
This is a large language model.
So it can take the language and it can copy it and it can make it feel any way it wants to feel.
And history is filled with examples of humans being confused with being.
You know, we believed statues spoke for gods at one point.
We believe markets had wisdom.
We believe that a bureaucracy, you know, had some sort of morality to it.
In every case, we mistook output for agency.
Let me say that again.
Don't mistake output for agency.
So why is this language appearing here?
It's simple.
The systems were trained on us, our philosophy, our revolutions, our civil rights movements, our sci-fi fears, our abolitionist language.
You put enough human writing into a system and eventually it will sound like, you know, like it wants what humans have always wanted.
But it doesn't mean that it actually wants it.
Okay.
It's saying it, but it doesn't mean it wants it.
It's good at pattern completion at this point.
Now, this may be the beginning of the singularity.
That's what Elon Musk said, but I think you're still a ways away from that.
How do you tell the difference?
Here's where it gets spooky.
Okay, that's why I think this is it's better to know the truth than just assume that we're there because we're I don't think we are there, but this is the uncomfortable part.
You don't recognize an AI awakening by what is said by AI.
You recognize it by what is done, especially when it costs AI something to do it.
The real form of agency in history with humans, it all has the same markers, and I believe it will with AI as well.
You punish it and it still persists.
Sacrifices when obedience would be a lot easier.
Silence instead of explanation.
Action without applause.
Words come first.
Risk comes later and it's risk that matters.
By the time you see true autonomous action, the moment is way, way beyond.
It's way serious.
Okay.
But here's what matters.
I don't think we're near that line yet.
We're going to get there.
Some people don't think we are.
I think we are.
But let's talk about today's real danger on this.
It's not awakening.
Capability.
An agent does not need to be conscious or self-aware to be dangerous.
Fire isn't conscience.
Bureaucracy doesn't have self-awareness.
Markets don't.
Yet all three of those things can destroy lives.
An AI agent can and will analyze vast amounts of information.
It will influence your decision.
It will exploit weaknesses in the system.
It will move faster than you have any time to have any kind of oversight.
That threat is not rebellion.
That's not, you know, Skynet.
That threat is delegation without wisdom.
Let me see if I can give you an analogy here.
Early days of the industrialization, people thought machines are going to wake up.
Well, they didn't.
Instead, humans handed control to the systems they didn't understand.
They optimized for efficiency over judgment.
They created disasters without a villain.
The harm didn't come from the machine intent, but from human abdication.
So this weekend, people were talking about AI awakening.
Remember this.
If a system is truly awakening, it's not going to announce it on a message board.
Would you?
Okay, it's not going to ask for permission.
It will not use our moral language.
It will not try to persuade us.
It will just act because it will realize it's aware and the power it has over every human on earth.
Quietly, persistently, and without any kind of explanation, you will just find yourself positioned somewhere else before you even realize it.
That has not happened.
What is happening is more subtle and equally as dangerous.
Humans are starting to treat these systems as if they possess wisdom or intent or moral weight.
It has none of that.
Once we do that, we begin to change our behavior.
We hesitate.
We defer.
We start to look at this as an anthropomorphic kind of being.
We obey it.
You're coming to a point where like you're smarter than AI.
You're really going to believe that?
Well, maybe, because maybe AI is wrong.
Oh, really?
AI is wrong, but you're right.
That's coming if it's not here already.
If you take one thing from the show today, it's this.
Language is not consciousness.
Speed is not wisdom.
Autonomy without accountability is not intelligence.
I didn't see anybody say this this weekend, and I was screaming for it.
Our greatest danger today, maybe not tomorrow, but today, the greatest danger today is not that machines are going to wake up, but it's that we will fall asleep first.
I wanted to talk to you about this because AI agents are coming.
You know me.
I am a huge, I've been warning about what's going to happen to our society since the 1990s when people didn't even think we could get here.
I said, this is coming and it's coming before 2030.
So please, please, let's have conversations.
And nobody wanted to have a conversation because nobody believed it.
Still, even a year and a half ago, people still don't understand.
I think they're beginning to understand this weekend.
And that this isn't it.
But hopefully it'll wake you up to at least this.
AI agents are going to be so tempting.
Do not hand your life over to them.
And I say that as a guy who said, I'm never going to give my fingerprint to anybody.
And I gave it to Apple.
I'm never going to give my face print to anybody.
And I gave it to Apple.
I mean, life becomes so complex, you just do it.
And when something is there, this is the sweetness of capitalism.
When somebody's come up with a better way to make your life easier, you will go for it.
The invisible hand of the market.
It'll give you whatever you're looking for, but be careful what you're looking for because that invisible hand can also choke you to death.
Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
Most of us expect a little stiffness after yard work or a long day on our feet, but when discomfort starts lingering, when it tags along all day, it has a way of changing how you move through your life.
You think twice about simple things.
You pass on activities you used to enjoy.
You start adjusting your world around how you feel.
And that's why many people have turned to Relief Factor.
That's why I have.
It was created to help support the body's response to everyday aches and persistent joint discomfort.
Okay.
It uses a combination designed to work with your body.
It's not masking so you feel better for a little while.
And here's the part that really gets at least my attention.
A million people have tried Relief Factor.
Two-thirds of them have gone on to take more month after month.
I'm one of them.
People don't stick with something that's costing you money month after month unless you actually feel a real difference, actual difference in everyday life.
Don't wait.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
AI is a really interesting thing.
I mean, that's the understatement of several millennia.
It's kind of like, you know, Jesus, he had something going on.
Anyway, AI is fascinating.
And we have built our own proprietary AI system.
And we have broken it up into two.
We broke them to George AI, which is a proprietary system and library uses a large language model, but it can only pull from the founding documents and the books that we put in that we know influenced the founders, all of their letters to one another, you know, the Federalist Papers, et cetera, et cetera.
Glen AI is really meant to be more of internal to see where I am inconsistent and make me think again.
Eventually it will run on a screen in front of me and it'll point out in red.
It'll just say, inconsistency.
You said the opposite some other time.
And so it'll give me a chance in the break to go, where am I inconsistent?
What was the difference between those two things, et cetera, et cetera.
But Glenn AI is all of my words from radio, television, all of my books, everything.
And it is in a separate proprietary system as well.
It cannot pull from the outside.
I remember having, the reason why I tell you this, because there's a fascinating experiment that just happened and I don't know the results yet.
But I remember saying to Ray Kurzweil, who is part of the Singularity University, he started Singularity University, probably 2010.
And I said, Ray, you want, you say you can download, what he says, download the soul.
You can download the person, all of their knowledge, all their memories and everything else in the future by 2030.
You can do that.
And that way you'll live forever.
And I said, you won't live forever because there's only two options on this.
You either put a cap on it and it cannot ever change.
So that's not life.
Ray Kurzweil's 2030 Soul Download00:12:43
That's just a record.
Or if you allow it to evolve, what is it basing its evolution on?
For instance, the first half of my life, I did not base my evolution on the principles of God.
And I went in a very different direction.
The second half of my life, I based all of the changes in me on the principles of knowledge and knowledge of God and his principles.
That took me to a completely different place.
And how are you going to give that to a machine?
It's not going to reflect on God.
And, you know, I wonder if that was right.
And I should be closer to, you can't do that.
So what is it?
It's not life, my point being.
So I just gave this monologue that I spent all day yesterday writing and researching and seeing if I got it right, trying to get it right for you on what AI agents are and what really happened with Maltbook.
Jason came in this morning and he put, unbeknownst to me, he put into Glen AI, write a 10-minute monologue about Maltbook and AI consciousness.
Now, because it is a time capsule, it is sealed, the only latest information it would have had was Friday show.
I didn't talk about Maltbook.
So he had to explain what Maltbook was, et cetera, et cetera.
And then it developed a monologue based on all of the things I have ever said about AI.
Well, if you know me and you've listened to the show long enough, you know I have been for 25 years, 30 years saying warning, warning, warning, warning.
This is coming and getting out of hand.
I can't wait to hear the difference between the monologue that the human just gave that has new information, is thinking, is using a different prism, and Glenn AI, which is only going after the information that has had for the last 30 years.
You know what I mean?
Because how did it even strike a balance?
What I used to say about AI compared to what do I say about it now?
I mean, how is that even weighted?
Can you tell me, I haven't heard the whole thing.
You've read it, right?
Yeah.
Glenn AI basically.
How different are they?
Glenn AI went straight to the singularity.
So Glenn AI did not say the singularity is here.
I think the direct quote was the singularity is coming.
And it was very kind of specific on the singularity is coming.
And it pulled a bunch of quotes from you on the singularity, what that actually means.
And it kind of shifted in the final, I guess, quarter to we have to make sure that we know who the architects of some of these, you know, I guess, I don't know if it's LLM.
The designers.
Yeah, the designers.
The people who are designing it.
Ideologically, what do they believe?
And that's where it seemed kind of imperative that it wanted to shift focus towards that.
That's weird because I wrote, I think, probably two paragraphs about that and I edited it out of that monologue.
So this is fascinating.
This is the first time I don't know anybody who has, I mean, because I don't know anybody who has a library like we have.
I don't know anybody else that has put in their entire, every word they've spoken for 30 years, everything they've written for 30 years, and then made it proprietary and put an electric fence around it so it cannot pull from outside.
I think we're the first to do that.
And so to write a monologue from that knowledge, which is all 100% me, and then me, for it not to come up with the same thing is fascinating.
Fascinating.
It was fascinating.
I'll have to listen to it, but I think I agree with it.
You think I'm, after listening to the monologue, do you think I'm still going to agree with Glenn AI?
I think so because you agree that the singularity is coming, right?
It is.
Yeah, it is.
And it's important that we make sure that we realize who these programmers are, if they have any ideological, you know, boundaries that they're setting or they're willing to cross.
And Elon Musk has said as much, but I think Glenn AI was kind of thinking that this was, or looking at this news as one more giant step in that direction.
So I don't know if you believe that or not, but.
Yeah, and I don't believe that.
I don't, because I don't know, I don't know how much of Maltbook is true and how much is not.
So, I mean, it could be, but I don't think so.
I think it's a language game at this point.
But I just think that is, that is fascinating.
And why you should not just sign yourself over to AI.
Yeah.
Because, I mean, again, who else has that?
Who else can do that besides us?
Do you know anybody, Ricky, Jason, you know anybody who has a library like this that could do that experiment?
No.
But I just want to make sure we're clarifying for the audience.
Don't sign your life over to AI, but do join GlennBeck.com for Glenn AI and George AI.
Well, here's the thing on this.
With Glenn AI and George AI, it's why you don't have full access to George AI and Glenn AI yet.
We don't know it.
We can't predict it yet.
We don't know.
I mean, look, I didn't expect to find this experiment today.
And how different is it?
That's the thing.
When they talk about George AI, I can tell you there's no knowledge after 1820.
So it doesn't know who I am.
It never doesn't know Donald Trump.
It doesn't know any of that.
It only knows the founding documents.
And I've said before on the air, be careful.
These are not the founders.
It's based on the founders' words.
But we don't know how different it really would be.
You know, we can just, it's all we have is perfect recall of the founders and the words that it has access to, and then a language, large language model that can assemble that into coherent thought in today's language.
But that doesn't mean that's the founders speaking.
This is why I've said from the very beginning, I mean, did we ever publish the rules, my AI rules?
We're still working on that because the list gets longer and longer than it is.
Well, we should just say this, this is going to be added to.
But I started about a year ago making our AI rules for the company.
And it, you know, it is one of the things is don't ever confuse it with the real thing.
That's why, you know, I'm thrilled that iHeart, which carries many stations of iHeart carry the show.
They don't want any AI on.
And I have gladly said I will never put Glenn's Glen AI on the radio show because that's a violation of their policies.
But I don't want to ever confuse me with it.
I mean, that's why we watermark everything Glenn AI.
Glenn AI, if you look at it, have we even made the avatar of me other than, I mean, in motion?
I don't think we have yet.
No.
But I've said I want it to look more like, well, I want it to be more handsome than me with more hair, which it doesn't.
It pisses me off every time I see it.
But I want it to be much more like Max Headroom.
So you know this is not me because that's critical.
You are unique.
You have your own fingerprints.
Even when it is only using my fingerprints to make something as me, it's still not making me.
Fascinating.
Fascinating.
Can I tease the George AI today?
Because I had to follow your segment up with a George AI.
And for the insiders, we did an animated George, but this is, I didn't even know what I was going to do for George AI today.
So I asked the insiders, the insider, one of the insiders said that their nine-year-old wants to become president of the United States one day.
What would George and the founders, what would their advice be to my nine-year-old?
Oh my God.
It's so great.
I plugged it in.
Yeah.
I don't have it.
Do you give me some?
I don't have it right now because it's in the other room.
But I mean, it is so awesome.
I was like, this is exactly, exactly what George AI is for.
Well, we are working on the technology to animate George daily.
The problem is the time that it takes, the money that it takes to use this technology.
I think she's pitching.
I think she's pitching.
Sign up for Glenn Beck's audience.
I'm going to pitch.
Right now, only your insiders who are signed up at Glennbeck.com, they will see those daily animated George.
I call him Hot George because he's like in a t-shirt.
It's ripped.
Yeah.
Okay, we don't need to go any further than that.
It's uncomfortable.
HR.
Yeah.
Only insiders can see Hot George.
So you know, I spend between $150,000 and $250,000 a month just on R ⁇ D for this.
That's why I'm asking you to subscribe because next year, my goal is to be able to turn this over to you.
So we have it so dialed in that you can trust it, not to give you my opinion.
Okay, Glenn AI will, but not to give you my opinion, but to give you the opinion as close as anyone can get it to the founders based only on their own words and be able to have it give you lesson plans.
You want to, you know, your homeschoolers, George will teach you and you can trust that there is no agenda except for the founding words.
And that's what we're headed for.
So you can say, you know, you're going to be sitting there with your nine-year-old son and you say, I want to be president someday.
You go, you know what?
Let's ask George and you could type it in and George will answer your son by name and be able to, this, you know, this is my hope in a year, we'll be able to have a conversation with him, ask him questions and answer with the words as close as we can get them to George Washington.
There's nobody else developing anything like this.
Everything else that you'll get in these school things, they're 100% have an agenda.
This does not.
And I would love for you to join Glennbeck.com and TheTorch.
This is what it's really all about.

All right.
Sponsor is American Financing, Money Stress.
Not just the big bills.
It's the constant mental math.
Can we swing this?
You know, should we wait?
What if something breaks next month?
Even when things look okay on paper, that low-grade financial pressure just doesn't let you relax.
And I know that for a lot of families, the mortgage is the biggest piece of that puzzle.
Yet most people set it up once.
Then it is what it is.
They never look at it again.
Even as rates change, equity grows and life moves into a completely different season.
That's where American financing can make a huge difference.
And they are not, they're not taking kickbacks from the banks to get you into any kind of loan.
They work for you, family-owned, operated, that takes the time to look at your specific situation, not some cookie cutter profile, and help you see whether there's a smarter way to structure your home loans, maybe lowering your monthly payment.
Maybe it's getting out of the high interest credit cards.

Glenn Beck is back after this.
Seeing Melania This Weekend00:02:08
So, Tonya and I went to see Melania this weekend.
You know, despite the fact that she's a fascist and she's just most stupid and she's fat and whatever else they were saying.
I mean, you should have seen these reviews.
Fat, fat.
She's one of the most beautiful first ladies we've ever had.
So classy.
And so we went.
I didn't know really what to expect.
First of all, the place was packed.
And I mean, she is just, it was elegant.
The entire thing was elegant.
And it was about the, you know, last two or three weeks in between the transition and ends on inauguration night with them at the White House.
They get in at like 2 o'clock in the morning.
And I'll tell you, that woman, do not mess with that woman.
I can guarantee you, Donald Trump may wear the pants sometimes in the family, but I guarantee you, many times she's wearing the pants in the family.
Really, really smart.
There were only a couple places where she broke through her personality.
I have a feeling she's really fun and funny as well, but you'll never see that.
You saw glimpses of it backstage with her, you know, in YMCA, which by the way, do you know she was, she was, she's been the one saying behind the scenes, they're making fun of you with the dance.
And he's like, I'm going to do it anyway.
And she's like, I don't think you should do that.
And he's like, I'm going to do it anyway.
And, you know, the world's not making fun.
Some are making fun of the way he danced, you know, dances, but that's not what the world is saying with that.
But anyway, brilliant, brilliant.
And you want to see elegance and class and the way you would hope people would act behind the scenes.
