Glenn Beck, Rep. Tim Burchett, and Sean Davis dissect Congress's budget failure since 2008, the flawed Trump impeachment involving Eric Swalwell, and high gas prices caused by 1970s-era refineries unable to process light sweet crude. They expose alleged Democrat collusion, Hamas infiltration of Reddit for AI training data, and the urgent need for quantum-literate engineers as World Quantum Day approaches. Ultimately, the episode warns that an uninformed public cannot govern itself, urging listeners to verify information against algorithmic propaganda while preparing for a quantum revolution in medicine and security.

Confronting Claims and Defending Oneself00:15:20
This year, more than most, has a way of making things feel a little more serious.
Not just the headlines, but the big moments, the everyday decisions also that start to feel like they carry a little more weight.
You know what I'm saying?
You do business with so many people.
And who you do business with is one of those really important decisions because companies have decided they're not just providing a service anymore.
They're using their platform, your money, to support causes that may not, most likely, don't line up with what you believe.
Patriot Mobile is different.
They've been standing for freedom for over a decade, providing reliable wireless service while supporting their values the customers care about.
You're getting prioritized premium access in all three major U.S. networks, and you're not sacrificing coverage or money or anything else.
You get it all, and you put your money where your heart is.
Take a stand today.
PatriotMobile.com slash back 972 Patriot.

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 leave 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.
Super hard.
I'm not sure I'm going to make it all the way through the show or even 10 minutes into the show without losing my ever loving mind.
Because there's some breaking news that it's not going to be news to you.
We knew it.
We knew it.
We've known it for years.
But is anything going to happen?
Probably not.
Probably not.
And then we have the Swalwell thing that is, I hate to say it that way, the Swalwell thing that takes on a whole new connotation now.
But I have an open letter to Congressman Swalwell.
And, you know, I think it's a lesson for all of us, but a lesson for a lot of people in Congress universal principles.
They're universal for a reason.
Because you can't change them.
No matter how hard you try, you just can't change universal principles.
They're true and they'll come and they'll bite you in the ass.
And we're going to start there here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about rush tax resolution.
If you get a notice from the IRS, there's a very natural reaction people have.
Usually it's vomiting.
And then it's, I'll sit down, you know, I'll deal with this later.
And then that turns into next week and next month.
And before you know, the problem hasn't gone away, it's only worse.
And then that leads to more vomiting.
Because the IRS doesn't forget and they have the power to levy wages in your bank account and revoke your passport.
And if you're a business owner, they'll shut you down and they'll come after you personally.
Because, oh, the one thing that will be universally true forever is the government will punish you if you do wrong.
We all know this.
Call tax resolution, rush tax resolution, because problems like these are nothing new to them.
They'll help you solve it, they'll help you actually.
Work out a way where the penalties and the interest and everything else is manageable.
So go to Rush Tax Resolution, rushtaxresolution.com, rushtaxresolution.com, or call 877-554-7874, 877-554.
Rush.
All right.
May I start with an open letter to Congressman Swalwell?
Congressman, can I still call him that?
What time is it?
No, he's still congressman.
I'd like to speak to you today about due process.
Due process.
It's a crazy idea.
And here's what it is that no one, no matter how powerful, how prominent, how despised, how despicable, can be stripped of their reputation, their livelihood, or their liberty without evidence, investigation, and a fair opportunity to defend themselves.
Well, that's a cute, outdated idea, isn't it?
It's a shield that protects the innocent from the mob and the mechanism that ensures the guilty are held accountable, but only after the facts are examined in the light of day with a court of law.
Due process.
Due process.
Again, a quaint little idea.
It's not a favor that we grant our friends and reserve for those we like.
It's a right extended even and especially to those who we find.
Contemptible.
You, I find contemptible.
If we abandon this when the target is convenient, well, we've already surrendered it for everybody, including ourselves.
So let me take you through a little history here.
In 2018, during the confirmation hearings for Brent Kavanaugh, you, Congressman, stood before the cameras and made your position unmistakably clear.
You warned against what you called the demeaning of victims of sexual assault, insisting that people deserve to be heard.
And their allegations deserve to be investigated.
Okay.
All right.
I think that's probably pretty good.
I think people should be heard in a court of law.
But you went further.
You suggested that if Kavanaugh were innocent, we should bring in all of the victims, all of them, to be questioned because that would just clear his name.
That was clever of you.
You argued that multiple.
Uh, multiple accusations could not simply be dismissed when separate and independent claims begin to look the same.
You said the arrows are all pointing in the same direction, and either the acts happened because of that, or the accused was simply the most unluckiest person in the world, Congressman.
Do you feel the same way today?
Because now you have 50 women.
From your office claiming the same thing.
Wow.
I mean, should we bring them all in?
Should we question them publicly?
Or is this time different?
I mean, perhaps you are the single unluckiest person in the whole world.
At the time, you even pushed back on applying strict legal standards in public judgment, noting, The testimony.
Of a single witness can prove any fact.
And you said at the time and amplified the message believe the survivors.
So perhaps we just bring in one woman out of the 50 and let her speak publicly and believe her because she, as you pointed out, is a survivor.
You see, you showed little to no patience for caution, little emphasis on presumption of innocence.
Little concern for due process in the court of public opinion.
And what's truly sad is at the time, unlike today, you were not alone.
But boy, I bet you feel alone today.
In the broader climate of the time, including accusations against Donald Trump, you shouted the same theme that women should be heard.
The claims should carry weight.
The process should not be used to silence them.
Where is Me Too today?
You still Me Too?
By the time you hear this monologue, because I'm assuming you're not listening right now.
Congressman.
In fact, I should probably not call you Congressman, but because the time you hear this, you won't be Congressman anymore.
It seems as though the sword has turned.
Multiple women have come forward accusing you of serious sexual misconduct.
Investigations have begun.
They're not going to go anywhere.
Don't worry about it.
It's just about wrecking your reputation.
And the calls for your resignation came swiftly, didn't they?
And now you're facing the same storm you helped direct at others.
Now, is it the fact that people like you, the objects you directed before, are being judged without due process?
That's what you say.
You object to it because you can't do that without due process.
And within days of an allegation being made, suddenly due process to you, Eric, seems to matter.
And isn't it weird and a bitter symmetry that is happening here?
You once argued that accusations carried its own moral force, that patterns of claims pointed towards truth no matter what, and that the accused should open themselves fully to prove their innocence.
Now you ask for time.
You ask for fairness.
You ask for restraint.
The very principles you minimalized are the ones you now invoke.
Here's where, Eric.
Here's where it becomes difficult for me and people like me.
Because you have been such a destructive, dishonest, selfish, slimy, I could go on, force that never seemed to care about anything other than your own personal agenda.
Where was fairness?
And so it's very hard for people like me who actually believe in American principles to be consistent.
But thankfully, I am not you.
Justice demands something really difficult.
And so I am compelled to grant to you what you did not grant to others because due process is not conditional.
The allegations against you, however serious, however numerous, remain allegations.
And so I am not going to say this is what you've done.
I could say, wow, the arrows are all pointing the same way.
But justice requires evidence.
It requires investigation.
It requires the opportunity to confront claims and defend oneself.
To deny this to you now would not correct a past wrong, although it would feel really good.
It would simply repeat it.
And it's weird because at the same time, the consequences are already unfolding.
You now, like.
Those whose lives you destroyed and forever smeared, you may never actually get an actual trial because nobody in the end really cares because you were protected by the same system that is now delivering this severe blow.
Your career has taken this blow, your ambitions have collapsed, your reputation has been deeply damaged.
And I believe that there's no one who deserves to feel that pain more than you.
But you know, isn't it interesting?
The same machinery that you used to smear others and protected you.
Because if this is true, if you have 50 women in your office and everybody knew it, everybody knew it, but you were convenient because you were leading the band, you were destroying the progressive enemies.
And so they protected you.
And in that, your arrogance grew and grew and grew and grew.
You were untouchable.
You were invincible.
Until you become an inconvenience.
And then Marxists and progressives do what they always do ends justify the means.
You are expendable.
It's really sad and tragic, but I hope today somebody learns a lesson.
Eternal Laws Are Eternal00:16:52
Eric, here's the lesson eternal laws are eternal.
Eternal laws, laws that cannot be fooled or manipulated, nor the judge bought off by political appointments, because the judge himself is eternal.
He set up these laws and they act no matter what you do, no matter what man says.
And here's one of those those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.
Or here's one even better as you judge, so shall you be judged.
That's why I cannot deny the eternal laws and principles, nor can anyone like me, even though we would love to.
You may think eternal principles don't apply to you, that they're old fashioned, but God and His simple truths are unchanging, and they apply to you as they apply to me.
So if I just condemn you today and don't give you the opportunity that you didn't give anyone else, Then I'm using the same sword and I shall die by that sword as well.
The rules we make for our enemies will one day be used on us, Eric.
The standards we abandon in the moments of anger will not be there when we need them, Glenn.
The process we erode for convenience will not protect us when the tide turns, politicians.
Due process is not weakness, it is not delay, it is not an obstacle to justice.
It is justice, America.
And those who discard it when it is inconvenient should not be surprised when they find themselves without it when it matters most.
More in a minute.
Paid for by SuperSure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
Let me tell you about a sponsor that I've known for a long time.
But I sat down, he's a serial entrepreneur, he's a genius.
And he sat down, he said, Glad I've started something called SuperSure.
And I said, What's that?
And he's like, Well, tell me about your business.
I told him about the business.
He said, Are you insured?
Do you have all the insurance you need?
And I said, I have no idea.
He said, So somebody hurts themselves on the job or somebody has this.
Are they covered?
I don't know.
He's like, Exactly, that's the problem.
We all have policies, different places, different things, different companies.
Everybody's handling something, but you end up with coverage and you don't have any clarity on it at all.
You have no idea.
And that's what his company, SuperSure Fixes.
They bring all of your business insurance into one place with one team that works around the clock.
Now, this is not something you're not just buying insurance from one company.
They are insurance agents that can actually look at all of the policies, everything from every country.
They're the only ones that can do this because they have the technology to now do it.
Tools that translate all of that fine print into plain English.
They take bull crap and turn it into something that you can understand.

Ten seconds, station ID.
Not in a good mood today.
Sorry to say.
I started out in a good mood.
And then I started looking at all the things that were going on.
And today might be a day that, you know, if I didn't have contracts, I would say I should probably sit it out and remain quiet.
Spend more time listening than speaking.
Because today is a day.
I mean, Russ Vogt, I don't know if you know who Russ Vogt is.
Office of Budget Management, really smart guy.
He is responsible for so much of the good stuff that is happening, in my opinion.
And he's up at Capitol Hill today.
And I was talking to Ricky about it.
I said, Was he up for Capitol Hill, the budget?
And she said, Yeah, he's testifying in front of Congress.
And I just lost it.
I just lost it.
It was maybe the straw that broke the camel's back on this.
Because I was like, Why?
Why?
He spent all the time writing the budget, he spent all the time crunching the numbers.
He spent all this time doing everything he's required by law to do.
And now he's going up to Capitol Hill and they're going to rake him over the coals and they're going to ask him all kinds of questions.
And you know what's going to happen to that budget?
Nothing.
We haven't passed a budget since 2008.
Why are we playing this circus every day?
Oh, I've got to go up and answer questions about the budget.
Pass the damn budget.
You want to ask questions, then get the questions.
The answers, make a decision, and pass the damn budget.
I am so sick and tired of this circus, this bullcrap circus.
I'm sorry, I should not be on the air today because I am so black pilled today.
This is just not helpful, but I have to tell you, I have a feeling I'm not alone in this.
I am so sick and tired.
You and I work so hard.
We work so hard.
We pay our damn taxes.
We pay our taxes.
You know, this thing with Vinman and all the stuff that has come out now about the impeachment that we told you was true, you knew was true.
We had the evidence back when they were impeaching him.
I did a six month investigation.
I did the biggest chalkboard I've ever done in my life.
We had all this information.
They didn't care, and they don't care now.
But that cost us millions and millions and millions of dollars.
To do what?
Something that we now know was completely unethical and illegal?
And is anybody going to go to jail?
Is anything going to really change?
No, it's not going to change.
Not going to change.
And yet, here you and I are working until April.
Is it April or is it now May?
Tax Freedom Day.
From you started working in January until April or May, everything you've made, everything you've made is going to the IRS.
They just take it out over the whole year.
But you're working the first few months of every year to pay your taxes.
How many people are not paying their taxes?
And then when you do pay your taxes, they're giving it away in fraud.
They're spending money impeaching on complete bull crap that we now know.
And then they'll investigate, but nobody will actually go to jail.
And then Swalwell, Swalwell's not the story.
The story is the system that protected him.
They've known for years.
They've known for years.
But let's switch and talk about aliens, shall we?
That makes more sense.
Let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.
There's a story in every house, you know, just not the one, you know, you tell people, the one that actually is written into it the kitchen where everybody gathers, the living room where life really happens, the little things that, you know, never show up in a listing, but matter more than any square footage number will ever.
It's not square footage.
When you decide to sell, suddenly that story has to be told to somebody else and in the right way, in the right place, and the right people, because if you miss that, You get that part wrong.
It doesn't matter how great the house is, it won't land.
It's about understanding what you have, how to present it to somebody else so they can see their life happening in that same place.
This is why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.
You don't need just a good agent, you need somebody who knows how to tell the story right and how to get the results.
Check out realestateagentsitrust.com.
We will connect you with the right real estate agent who is the one that we have vetted six ways to Sunday in your area.
There's no obligation.
Just get the name from us.
I don't charge you anything for it.
It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

Glenn is signing tens of thousands of thank you cards to Torch founding members who joined us on day one.
Help us build a platform on principles at glenbeck.com/slash torch.
All right.
Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
We're glad you're here.
There's a lot going on today.
I wish I had two hours with Tim Burchett.
He is the congressman from Tennessee.
So many things to talk about.
And this guy tends to just say things, which I wildly appreciate, because none of the stories that are in the news today are really about the story.
I mean, this thing with Swalwell, it's not about him being a dirtbag.
Everybody's known he's a dirtbag.
Literally every.
50 women in his office.
50 women.
How does that happen?
And nobody knows.
And now the media is going out and patting themselves on the back saying, oh, yeah, look, this is good journalism.
We found this out.
Please, please give it a rest.
Because he became an inconvenience to the power structure, ends justify the means, they needed to get rid of him.
So now he's an inconvenience.
So go ahead, guys, get him.
And that's what happened.
And nobody's even questioning the power structure behind this.
Nobody's even questioning how he did get away with this for so long.
Because it's a game.
It's a game, and I'm tired of it.
I know Congressman Burchett is tired of it as well.
Congressman, how are you, sir?
Congressman, are you there?
He's now regretting coming on.
He's like, oh, this is.
Oh, here we go.
Here we go.
No, I got you.
There you are.
Are you there?
Yeah.
Yes, sir.
How are you, sir?
I'm well, I'm okay.
My daughter's cat is in heat, and all the barn cats are lining up in the front porch like congressmen looking for a pack check.
So I'm kind of keeping my.
And I hate to correct you, but it's actually birch it, like burr under my saddle in chat.
Oh, okay.
In chat, like Adkins.
No, you're good.
Everybody does it.
Everybody does it.
No, no, you're good.
The only person that hasn't messed it up is President Trump, oddly enough.
So I appreciate you, brother.
Well, if you have your name pronounced correctly by me, you are one in a million.
So, Congressman, first of all, give me your thoughts on what is happening with Swalwell.
Yes, sir.
I tweeted about it yesterday or day before yesterday.
He has become a threat to the power structure.
Look, he had a relationship with.
With someone who is a suspected Chinese communist spy.
And he was on the Intelligence Committee.
And Pelosi and all the Democrats voted to keep him on it.
Look, so now he's shacking up with a hooker or something.
I don't know, allegedly.
And now they're, oh, we're getting morals now.
We can't have this.
This is a joke.
It is a complete and total joke.
And thank you for calling it out.
I thought I was the only person out there who would do it.
Everybody's known about this stuff.
There is no secrets in Washington.
That's why I sleep in my office at night.
I don't need the distraction, and I love my wife and daughter very much.
And also, I'm broke, but that's another reason to sleep in my office at night.
You're the one.
But yeah, this town is infinitely broken and crooked, as we say at East Sussex.
It's crooked as a dog's leg.
And I wish people would quit calling it a swamp, because a swamp is something pretty cool.
It's created by God.
It's like a It's a microcosm of the earth.
I mean, it filters water.
Animals live and breed and thrive there.
Washington, D.C. is a sewer, brother.
It is created by man and it stinks.
And America better start paying attention.
12% of the population will vote.
You got preachers who won't preach the gospel.
Our country is falling apart at the seams.
40% of its so called evangelical Christians don't vote.
30% of gun owners don't vote.
Don't vote.
And I'll guarantee you, Dadgummit, they'll be the first ones to call my office when something goes wrong.
So let me switch to another topic.
You know, what a surprise.
This is going to floor you.
If you haven't heard the news, it's going to floor you, America.
Apparently, that whole impeachment process was dirty.
That everybody was lying, everybody was involved, and they had nothing.
They had nothing.
They manipulated the system.
And Ellen Dershowitz is coming out today saying, for the first time in American history, this can now be expunged from the record.
This was so bad that it should be expunged from the record.
Again, nothing's going to happen.
Nobody's going to go to jail for it.
But I mean, how much trouble are we in, Congressman, when this can be done and nobody will really pay a price?
And I wish you'd call me Tim.
I'm sure somebody's going to get a real stern letter written to them and somebody's going to wag their finger at somebody and not a dadgum thing will happen to anybody.
That is just the way this town is because everybody's compromised, Mr. Beck.
Everybody's got dirt in their background when you get to these higher levels, and they're afraid to do anything.
And the gloves need to come off.
America needs to see somebody in chains let out of the Capitol building, and it's gone on long enough.
I agree with you.
I'll tell you that is.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
I'll call you Tim if you'll call me Glenn.
Sorry to interrupt, but that's the lesson that the Republicans need to learn from Hungary over the weekend.
They didn't get off the Bandwagon of being conservatives.
They said the conservatives that are in power will not stop the corruption.
We need to stand for the corruption.
If it's in our house or somebody else's house, it's got to be exposed and people have to go.
They believe the Republicans now have stopped serving the people.
The minute you are a, the minute people think you serve yourself and not the people that voted you in, you're done.
And that's where the people are.
100%.
I couldn't have said it better.
This message approved by Burchett for Congress.
Look, we have got to call it out in our own house because if we don't, we become the Democrats.
We become something of convenience.
And if it costs us the majority for a short amount of time, do it.
I think America is ready for it.
And that's why one of the reasons America doesn't trust Congress.
You know, I always say everybody, both parties are crooked.
Theirs is just a little more crooked than ours.
And I think that's the case, unless we show America otherwise.
And by doing so, we've got to go after our own members and take the gloves off.
America Is Ready for Change00:09:56
But it's not just that.
It's how do you explain something that is 80% popular with everybody, Republicans, Democrats, independents, and it won't pass the Senate?
You're not serving the people.
The question is, who are you serving?
So it's not just going after your own people.
It's about doing the things that the American people want.
And if somebody is breaking the law, then that needs to be solved.
Those people have to be punished.
We're talking about punishing people now.
We can't even agree on punishing people who are killing people, stabbing them 50 times because they're in a special interest group.
Well, the biggest special interest group, quite honestly, is the progressives and all of those who are just milking the system on all sides in Washington, D.C.
Those people have got to pay.
They have to pay, or we don't have a republic.
When I was in the state legislature, I would put bills of mine up that were good bills that the state of Tennessee people wanted in my district.
And I knew they were going to fail.
And the reason I did that was because I want people to see how people vote.
You know, we had that bill up about, I think it's important to know because that's what's happened in the Senate.
You've got some rhinos, if not Democrat members of the Republican Party that they're trying to protect.
And it's all about leadership.
It's all about the suburban.
It's all about the posse.
It's all about having the front row seats at all the events and being introduced and having your butt kissed as soon as you walk in the door.
And that creates groupthink and that weakens our country.
And that is what we've got now.
Because to get in power in Washington, D.C., this may come as a surprise to you and some of your listeners, and I hope it does.
But to get in power, you've got to do two things.
And I don't do either one of them very well at all.
You have to kiss a lot of butt and you've got to raise a ton of money for your party.
And they literally.
Literally, they will literally issue you a bill at the beginning of the conference, and both parties do it.
They put it on a piece of paper, Mr. Black, or Glenn, excuse me, and they give it to you, and the press is in on it.
Listen, if Congress was the NFL, Peyton Manning would still be waiting to get in because to get there, you got early on the lobbyist will, you know, you see the favorites and the fair haired child.
Of both parties and how they kind of promote them, and the media promotes them.
It's all a game.
It's all a game.
And then all of a sudden, oh, wow, they're in the press.
I'm going to write them a check.
I know.
And then they gain all this money.
And then, but, and they nurture them and bring them along, you know, and then, and then, Lo and behold, they're moving up the leadership chart.
And then all of a sudden, they're a chairman.
I remember when I first got to Congress, our then leader, who's no longer in Congress, said, Hey, man, I sometimes will mentor some people, and I'd love to mentor you.
And I said, Great.
And so they started checking around on me.
And then guess what?
I never got another mentoring session because I didn't do the game.
When I first got to Congress, I remember I went to my selection committee that allows you to get on certain committees.
And I've been in Congress eight years, and I'm still not on an A committee, obviously.
And they said, We're going to see how you vote, which I understood.
And then they said, And we'll see how you do across the street.
Now, what that means is you can't raise money in the Capitol building, which probably a lot of them do, but you have to go across the street to make fundraising calls and to raise money and to have fundraisers.
And so, literally, they tell you that when you get to Congress, and it is infinitely broken because of that.
And, you know, honestly, Glenn, I don't, the big boys, they never support me to the day after the election.
And then they call me in and want to write me a check.
My contributions are these little bitty ones.
They're $25, and a sweet little woman's written a Bible verse on a piece of paper and wrapped it around a check.
But that's few and far between people like me because they just bend and scrape.
And we've got to hold people accountable.
And I would encourage people to find out how your person votes.
300, I mean, 357 members of Congress voted to keep that slush fund that pays for all these deviants in Congress that get by and they pay them off with your money.
357 members of Congress.
Now, granted, some of them misunderstood it and all this other, but that should be a national.
How come ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox, how come none of them covered that?
It just, to me, it blows my mind that that kind of stuff.
And the only people who covered it are the Glenn Becks of the world.
And how you stayed in the house and on the radio is amazing to me.
Well, I will tell you this.
When I left Fox, last thing Roger Ailes said to me, he said, You know what your problem is?
And I said, No, sir, what is my problem?
He said, You won't play the game.
And I said, You know what, sir?
Some of us don't believe it's a game.
And I don't think the American people think it's a game.
It's the future of our country.
It is.
Tim, I am out of time and I didn't even get to half of the questions.
I want to have you back.
You have said some amazing things.
You said you have seen classified information.
That quote would set the earth on fire and leave the public up at night.
Anna Paulina Luna is asking for the release of a bunch of videos today.
Is this a distraction or is this real?
It's real.
It's real.
We just, there's two, it goes too deep.
And when I sit in a classified briefing and some little punk with a man bun bureaucrat in the Biden administration tells me that, that, The president is on a need to know basis.
That to me should tell you all you need to know right there.
They need to rip the cover off this thing and expose it because it's not about little green men and flying saucers.
I have my own theories on that.
It's about what are we spending tens of millions of dollars on that they tell us do not exist.
Like, may I have you back?
You're so hard to book.
May I ask you to come back and spend some time with me?
I'm going to feel will in my office to call you back and to call you today and set something up, brother.
Thank you.
Thank you, Glenn.
Thank you very much.
And it is a huge, huge honor for me because I don't want to make you feel old, but I grew up watching and listening to you, and my mom and dad are both in heaven.
They loved you, and you're a straight shooter, and we dig that.
So thank you, brother.
I appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.

You ever notice how we'll research a car for like three months and we'll compare every feature and read reviews and watch videos endlessly?
And then when it comes to a mattress, the thing we spend a third of our life on, we just sort of lie down on one for 30 seconds at a store and go, eh, that seems fine, I guess.
That used to be me.
I didn't think about much, honestly, about what I was sleeping on.
I wasn't, you know, if I wasn't falling off the edge, I figured it was doing its job, right?
But I actually tried a ghost bed and I realized how much I had been settling.
Now, some changes have happened recently in my life.
Which allowed me to actually sleep in for once.
And thank God I have a ghost bed because it's not just like softer or firmer.
It felt like it was built to support your body instead of just existing under it.
You know, it's not like waking up stiff.
You're not overheating in the middle of the night.
You're not constantly shifting around to find the one position that worked.
Ghost bed designs what they call engineered sleep systems.
And it's, you know, kind of what it feels like.
It's basically something built for recovery, not just comfort.
And you get 101 nights to try it out at home, which means you can't blow it.

So, Jason and I were just talking with the insiders here during the break about how frustrating it is.
You are so far ahead of everybody.
This story, we're going to go in with the Federalist CEO and co founder of the Federalist, Sean Davis.
They've done such a great job on breaking this story about the entire impeachment scandal.
The scandal was not the impeachment, the scandal was.
Was what, how that actually happened.
And the story is not about what happened because you already had that story.
The story is will anyone ever look into the system that allowed this to happen?
Instead of just getting a bunch of little guys, can we look into the system that allowed this to happen?
Will we ever, ever punish that?
More in a minute.
If you have owned firearms for any length of Time you have seen this movie before.
Something happens a crisis, an election, a headline, and something makes everybody nervous.
And almost overnight, the shelves at the local stores are rapidly emptied no warning, no grace period, just gone.
And the people who waited until that moment they're left trying to find what everybody else is looking for at exactly the same time, which is why it is so smart to prepare.
That's where ammo squared comes in.
Ammo squared they'll help you build your ammunition supply steadily over time, quietly, consistently.
So, you're not reacting when everybody else is.
You're already there.
It's not panic, it's discipline.
That's why 170,000 members already use Ammo Squared with thousands of five star reviews from responsible gun owners who understand what it means to be prepared.
Because this pattern doesn't really change.
The question is, are you going to be ready when you need to?

So it has taken, well, since Trump got into office, it's taken this long of a time just to declassify some documents and some...
I don't know, previously hidden procedural flaws, if I'm being really very kind, on how they tried to go after this president with the impeachment.
And how unbelievably flawed it was.
And one of the guys who made all of this possible, who just would not, it was like a dog with a bone that would not let it go, is our guest to talk to us about what has been revealed and what it means and whether anything's going to happen.
That's the most important thing, I think.
Why should we care when I think nothing's going to really happen?
John Davis, he is the CEO and co founder of The Federalist.
He has the latest on the revelations on the Ukraine impeachment scandal.
And it matters even if nobody goes to jail.
You'll get that perspective in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about burn a launcher.
I wish I left earlier.
I wish I'd been paying more attention.
I wish I had something, anything to deal with all of that.
These are thoughts that you might have after a dangerous encounter, assuming that you live through it.
The hard part is by the time you're having that thought, the moment has already passed.
And it makes a lot of sense just to decide something.
What you're going to do in advance.
So when you find yourself in a situation that turns out badly quickly, you're prepared.
You don't get to decide in the moment how you're going to react.
And this is where the Burn a Launcher comes in.
It gives you a non lethal option using kinetic and pepper projectiles that can stop a threat from up to 60 feet away.
Listen, I have to tell you, my youngest daughter, she was taking a friend to the hospital.
It was like 1 o'clock in the morning.
Her friend, you know, woke up and was like, I.
I got you, gotta go take me to the hospital.
She's going to the hospital, and somebody starts to follow them.
And it's a guy in a car, and he follows them down the street.
He blows through a stoplight.
My daughter is like, I gotta get through this stoplight because I'll know if he's following.
She makes extra turns, she gets on the highway, she changes lanes, she gets off on an exit.
She all the way, this guy is following her.
And so she's smart enough to go to the police department, and she just pulls up to the police department, and he stops for a second, and then he goes.
Thank God she had the sense to do that.
She told me this story and she said, Dad, I will never be without my Burna Launcher.
I gave this to her and I told her, Take it wherever you go.
Take it, put it in your backpack, put it in your glove box.
Keep it with you all the time.
You never know.
She told me, I will never go anywhere without the Burna Launcher.
I was so afraid.
Please, you have kids, if you're in situations, I mean, my wife has it.
You stop at a gas station, you never know.

The Truth Is Its Own Purpose00:16:01
Learn more about it now.
Burna dot com slash Glenn.
All right, welcome, Sean Davis from the Federalist CEO and co founder, and a guy who has, I mean, really, Sean, you and your team have done more for this story.
We did a, I did the, I think I did the biggest chalkboard I've ever done on the impeachment, and we did six months of research.
And I had enough evidence at the time to, I said at the time, I think I could go to a grand jury and just present this case, and you could get indictments on this.
You have taken this story and now pushed and pushed and pushed.
And now, with the revelations that I want you to talk about, now you could take this to a court of law and you can get convictions.
So, A, thank you.
B, what has been revealed now?
Tell us the story in a way for people who have not been following it.
Well, Glenn, you are very generous.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for having me on.
Yesterday was a big day.
So, after six and a half, nearly seven years, we finally got the transcripts.
Of testimony from the intelligence community inspector general.
And for those who may not recall, this was the guy who took possession of that infamous so called whistleblower complaint in 29 that blew up and ended up turning into the first Trump impeachment.
And I think a lot of us at the time, even though this was kind of our first little foray into the impeachment nonsense, we're all wizened veterans of that now.
We all smelled a rat, we all knew it was fishy.
And what these transcripts that were released for, Finally, showed was that it was actually much worse than many of us suspected.
There was so much Democrat chicanery going on behind the scenes.
They were coordinating with each other.
They were colluding.
They were changing rules.
They were breaking rules.
They were leaking and lying.
Also, that they could overthrow a president because he, the man who was elected by the people, didn't like the foreign policy that had been chosen by a bunch of unelected, faithless bureaucrats in Washington.
So, what did we confirm yesterday?
What do we have now as evidence?
What was the chicanery?
So, we learned a couple of things that we had always suspected.
And the first was that, and this was something we reported on very early on, which was that the inspector general actually changed their internal rules for how you could file whistleblower complaints.
Before this so called whistleblower, I call them axe grinders, came in and decided he was going to try and overthrow the president.
The intelligence community had certain rules about what you had to have in a complaint in order for it to be valid.
And one of those rules was you had to have firsthand evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
And at the time, they never, ever had it.
This guy had a call transcript that he read, and he didn't like things that the president said in the call transcript.
And then so he went and talked to other people and put down their recollections and kind of his own thirdhand view of things and said, you know, well, this is a.
This is a criminal thing, and they need to look into campaign finance and all these other criminal violations.
And it turns out, in order for that thing to have even been accepted under the previous rules, it would have had firsthand evidence, which he never, ever had.
It was all hearsay, it was all second and thirdhand evidence.
And you had the inspector general secretly change the rules, backdate the forms, mislead about what the intention was so that he could make this thing, which never would have been valid.
Somehow magically valid, so Schiff could go run against Trump on it.
And then the second thing he did is we learned all of the behind the scenes Democrat collusion that was going on.
You had this inspector general that was breaking rule after rule after rule in order to release this complaint.
You had DOJ saying nothing's wrong here.
You had the FBI look at it and kind of scoff.
You had the DNI at the time who said, no, there's no urgent concern here.
There's no valid basis for a complaint.
And instead, you had Atkinson and this whistleblower.
The whistleblower at the time, this blows my mind.
He went to Democrats on Schiff's staff and was working with them before ever putting this whistleblower complaint together.
So, is this Vinman?
Do we know who the whistleblower was now?
Everyone has said for years that they believe it to be Eric Chirimella.
Vinman, we believe, based on the transcript, was not the so called whistleblower.
It looks like he was one of the witnesses, so called witnesses.
I believe witness one, but I'm not positive, mentioned in the whistleblower complaint.
He was one of the people who the so called whistleblower relied on to put together his third hand hearsay testimony or complaint.
Does this inspector general still have his job?
No, thank goodness he doesn't.
He was an absolute disaster.
And a lot of us wondered at the time was this guy kind of just an idiot who got buffeted by the winds and didn't really know how to control the process and just ended up in a situation out of his control?
Or was he someone who was actively working behind the scenes to make this thing into a bigger deal than it should have been in order to take down the president?
And after reading through, there are two separate testimonies from September and October of 2019.
After reading through them, I am utterly convinced that he was an active and willing participant and plotter in the coup and conspiracy to take down Trump in 2019.
What have we found out about Schiff?
Anything?
No, there wasn't much about Schiff in there.
We knew at the time that he had been, or he and his staff had been, colluding with this so called whistleblower before the complaint had ever been filed.
That was something that didn't come out until the impeachment thing was in full swing.
The person we learned a lot about rather hilariously is not so much Schiff, who I think everyone has known is just a dishonest dirtbag, but another key player at the time was one, Eric Swalwell.
And I think we learned about all Eric.
Well, he's a dirtbag.
I mean, do we learn anything other than he's a dirtbag?
Allegedly.
We learned he's a real hands on guy, but apparently not on the intel matters that we actually care about.
So I saw, well, what's his name?
Oh, the famous lawyer from Boston.
Help me out, anybody on the show.
Lawyer from Boston, Harvard.
Dershowitz.
Professor Emeritus.
Yeah, Dershowitz.
Dershowitz said, thank you.
Dershowitz said yesterday that he thinks this whole thing could be expunged.
And he said, never before in history could that have happened before.
He said, but this is so rotten to the core, it could be expunged.
Which leads me to the question is anything going to happen?
I've become a little bit fatalist and cynical having watched all this stuff.
I hear, is something going to happen?
And my brain translates this to.
Is anyone going to go to prison?
You know, is Atkinson going to go to jail?
Are people going to go to prison for lying?
It's been almost seven years.
My gut tells me no.
And I know that can be like really disheartening for people to hear.
It certainly is frustrating when you do all this work and you see all this criminality and nobody goes to jail.
And so people can tend to throw up their hands and say, well, what's even the point?
What's the use?
And I would say the truth is its own point.
The truth is its own end and its own purpose.
And, you know, a lot of us can't control what happens to bad guys, whether they go to prison, whether they're brought to justice.
But we do have a large ability to control what we consume, what we hear, and what we know.
And so I would say maybe this is just to cope.
Knowing the truth is huge, knowing the truth is amazing.
And the reason we know this is because so many people tried so hard for so long to make sure we never learned the truth.
So I think we shouldn't.
Allow ourselves to get lost in fatalism or cynicism about not having prison time, we should be thankful that we know the truth.
That's always something to be pursuing and be thankful for.
And so I'm upset that we're probably never going to see people in prison over this, but man, am I glad to know what actually happened finally.
Okay, can I push back on that?
Because I'm in a bad mood today.
I've been so blackpilled today.
And I've been trying really hard to not be blackpilled.
But today is just with everything that's going on.
Because nobody is, you know, like this Swalwell thing, the story is not Swalwell.
I mean, you know, we had pretty good indications.
We didn't know, but we had pretty good indications.
50 people, 50 women now are saying that.
So the story is not Swalwell.
The story is the system that protected him.
Okay.
And nobody's going to investigate that.
I mean, the journalists are all patting themselves on the back, going, Oh, look, and this is because of good journalism.
No, it's not.
Good journalism would have exposed this long time ago.
But you didn't do anything because he was useful to the mission.
And so the problem is the entire system.
So, you know, you have, we know the truth, but the press is not going to report on it.
So it's not going to be something that is really recorded.
History is only written by the winners, and I'm not sure that we win long term here if Donald Trump becomes a lame duck soon.
And the most important thing is if nobody goes to jail, how do we prevent this from happening again to other people?
Yeah, it's a great question.
And you were so right about Swalwell.
What's insane is his crime was not being a dirtbag or harassing women or assaulting women, his crime was threatening the political chances of a billionaire in California.
Because that was the only thing that got him under their Klieglite.
Yes.
Like he threatened Tom Steyer, and that was apparently a crime they will not abide by.
Right.
Exactly right.
But to your question about the accountability.
Go ahead.
No, go ahead.
No, no, go ahead.
You're on it.
Yeah, it's.
I am very much with you.
I struggle with the black pilling every day.
And the thing, the only thing that I can do that makes me sane.
Is understand number one, I don't have the power to control what a thousand other people in government do.
I don't get to pick the DAs.
I don't get to pick the grand juries.
The only thing I can control is the thing that I can do every day.
And the thing that I do every day is find out what's true and broadcast it as far and wide as I can go.
Because otherwise, I think you'll go insane.
If you're constantly blackpilling and being cynical and being mad that this didn't happen or that didn't happen, I can't control any of that.
So why would I allow myself to get all wrapped up in something I can't control?
Great perspective.
Can you hang for just a second, Sean?
I want to come back to you because I want to ask you about Tulsi because she was one digging and digging and digging, and it's taken her this long.
And I want to ask you a little bit about her and what she found in her role in all of this, but also DOJ.
Now that we have a different possible head of the DOJ, new attorney general coming in, do you find any hope in that?
In just a second, first, let me tell you about relief factor.
How many days a week do you wake up feeling like somebody stuck a brick in a sock and went to work on you overnight?
How many times during the day do you bend down, pick something up, and make that decision?
Like, well, that was a really bad decision to make right there.
Now the floor just, you know, whatever's on the floor just lives on the floor right now.
That's why I have to have a dog because they'll just usually eat it, whatever I've dropped.
Anyway, relief factor is there.
It's better than a dog.
It's 100% drug free, research based supplement designed to help your body fight inflammation at the source.
So you're not just pushing through it, you're actively doing something about it.
Look, I'm really black pilled on, oh, it's all natural.
Yeah, whatever.
Because it's, you never, you just never know.
My wife makes me take stuff every day.
It's all natural.
It's going to be good for you.
This, I can tell you, I have evidence.
I know I had pain that I just could not break the back of, pain in my hands that I just couldn't do.
I tried everything, nothing.
Started taking this because honestly, my wife forced me.
And she said, just take it as directed, do exactly what it says, try it for three weeks.
If you don't see anything, fine.
Then you can check that box.
And so I did.
And I expected nothing to happen.
And it broke the chain.
It broke the pain that I had and I could never break.
It did it.
Please just try it.
Take it as directed for three weeks.
Just check the box.
If you're in pain, try this.
Relief Factor.
1995, three week quick start.
Ready for you now.
ReliefFactor.com, 800 for relief.
800, the number four relief.
10 seconds, back to Sean.
With the CEO of the Federalist and co founder of the Federalist.
If you don't read the Federalist, you should every day.
Sean Davis is with us.
Sean, what did it take for Tulsi Gabbard to get this through?
I mean, it kind of makes the case for all of us who say, why don't you just release it?
Why aren't we going after people?
That it takes time, especially when everything's been classified.
What did it take for her to get this out?
Tulsi is a transparency hero, truly, because it has been almost seven years.
And it wasn't until now that we finally got this out.
So, thank goodness for her taking this initiative.
I think she had to fight a whole lot of bureaucratic inertia at best and probably bureaucratic infighting at worst, because this whole thing implicated really an entire cottage industry within Washington, which is the unaccountable foreign policy deep state that thinks everyone else works for them.
And so, she didn't just have to fight within the intel community, she had to fight within Congress, she had to fight within the intel people.
On the Hill, and you know, including Republicans, because not everyone there is on board with the kind of transparency we want.
So, thank goodness she got that out when she did, even though it's you know, seven years later, because it's really, really important for us to know the facts.
I'm thankful for her commitment to transparency on this.
Is this something that now that she's won, she has a reputation with those people a little bit more of if she starts coming for you, she's not going to let it go?
Absolutely, because recall she did this on that.
Phony, bogus Intel community assessment that came out after the 2016 election that allegedly claimed Trump was working for Putin and Putin wanted Trump to win.
And she was the one who went and interviewed all of those analysts who went and looked at all the notes and found that, hey, actually they cooked the books, they misrepresented Intel, the whole thing was a joke.
That was Tulsi, who, at great personal credibility and reputational risk, went in there and said, no, I don't care how bad this makes you look.
Breaking the Progressive Agenda Back00:06:41
We're getting this out.
The people need to know it.
Pam Bondi had a lot of reasons why things couldn't get done.
I think they were excuses, but they could very well have been actual reasons of, you know, I don't have enough people, et cetera, et cetera.
Do you have more hope now that she's being replaced?
Are things going to change at DOJ in the Attorney General's office?
They had better.
They had better change because it was not a good situation previously.
I think too often in politics, it's an industry that attracts people who want to be on camera and want to be seen and talked about, and it's less likely to attract.
People who just want to sit behind a desk and crank and get work done.
And so I'm hoping we get one of the latter and not one of the former as the next AG.
You would think that Donald Trump would be, this would be his number one priority.
I mean, everybody said he's going to go after all of his, you know, enemies.
Look what he's doing.
And this seems to be a lower priority for him.
And it's not going after his enemies, it's going after people who are breaking the law and using this as their own little weapon.
Sean, thank you again for everything that you and the Federalists do every day.
You guys are remarkable.
You are really responsible for this actually staying there and pushing and pushing and pushing.
Thank you so much, Sean.
Thank you, sir.
You bet.
More in a minute.
Excited to share something with you next because it's probably the number one question that is asked to me every day in the last five to six weeks, and I think I have a way to finally explain it to you so you'll understand why you're paying more for gas when we are supposed to be energy independent.
One of the things you learn when you have a dog is just how much the give and take is that relationship.
Because when you think about it, you get loyalty, companionship, that unconditional affection that is hard to find anywhere else.
Sometimes the best part of your day is coming home, and your dog is there to greet you, and you realize you got to give back, and you do time.
Attention care, you do your best to feed them right, but you may not know that the kibble food that you feed them, no matter what the kibble food is, is processed.
You would never feed this to your children, even if it was for people.
You wouldn't feed something that was this processed and could sit on a shelf for over two years without going bad.
Your child would not be healthy.
Same with your dog.
Now you don't have to change the food, just add all the stuff back in that they need the probiotics, all the vitamins and minerals, everything.

I want to bring you up to speed, do a quick stop here for what's happening in the Middle East with the war with Iran.
Things are looking good.
Apparently, the president said yesterday that the conversations are still going on with Iran.
It looks like Iran is asking to come back to the table maybe in the next couple of days.
They were bluffing.
We have a president who is not bluffing, and we will put them out.
You don't have to drop another bomb on Iran.
We can cripple them financially, and they're about to.
Destroy themselves.
The good news is apparently we've killed enough of the 12ers in the IRGC that the people who want to survive, who don't believe just in chaos and that we'll all go, you know, to heaven after we bring in the return of the promised one, they're in charge.
And at least right now.
So it looks pretty good.
And some other things are changing.
Jason, can you bring us up to speed on what happened with China yesterday?
This, you know, I said at the very beginning, this is about.
The entire world and also the alliance with uh, what did I call it?
Ching, um, that aligned breaking that alliance up and also hurting China.
That is a big part of this.
Uh, it's not the only reason, but it's a big part.
And what is happening now with China?
Yeah, the larger strategy with the Trump doctor doctrine is really starting to materialize.
And I really wish the administration could properly describe what they are doing on the larger chessboard because I think it would make everything seem a whole lot more, I guess, visible.
But yesterday, the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, doubled down on our defense relationship with Indonesia.
Why is that so important?
Because the Strait of Hormuz is not the only big choke point.
A huge choke point for commercial goods, for oil and gas, actually getting through the Middle East and getting over towards Asia is the Strait of Malacca.
And this is a huge move by the Trump administration with Indonesia.
To kind of reestablish a military presence and let the Chinese know that we know exactly how to hurt you.
You knew how to hurt us with the Panama Canal.
Everyone was talking about that.
But now we are redoubling our efforts at the strait that you are most concerned about, which is the Strait of Malacca.
So a lot to look forward there.
But yeah, it's a big development.
I'm telling you right now, if Donald Trump can make it and not have Congress and the Senate flip on him, and we can get somebody who is dialed into what he's doing and will hold these policies, A, you're going to see a lot of things change.
If, let's say, JD Vance or Marco Rubio or DeSantis or somebody who is in on this strategy gets in to replace him, you're going to see a lot of people fold because they just, they're holding out now.
They're like, we can last two more years.
We can last two more years in hopes that it'll be, you know, Kamala or somebody else like that.
But I'm telling you, if we can just get at least one more term, this is going to end up being so good.
Let me answer something here that is probably the number one question that I get all the time when we ever were talking about the war in Iran.
Oil Refineries and Common Sense00:11:52
Why is it, if we're energy independent, is gas going up?
Why are we paying that?
And this is something that is the answer is going to kind of you'll feel better, but you'll also be a little well, you'll understand it more on why we have to break the back of this progressive agenda.
So I remember when I was young, 1980s, gas was probably $1.80 or something.
And I moved to Texas and I saw gas there.
It was like 90 cents.
And I'm like, oh my gosh, I am never moving from Texas.
Okay, same country, same oil, same ground.
How could it be like a dollar cheaper?
Okay, if you're like most people and you've ever lived in Texas when it was like that, that memory sticks.
Now, part of it is because California, they just jack up the prices with restrictions and they also add a lot of tax to it.
And it feels like there's proof that something is wrong here.
But let me explain we have all of this oil, more than we've had in decades.
So, why does it feel like we're paying more?
Let me walk you through this in a way that I think it could maybe click for you.
I want you to think of oil not as oil, but think of it as cattle, not hamburgers, cattle.
Because what comes out of the ground is not gasoline, it's crude oil.
It's thick, it's messy, it's different qualities depending on where you drill for it.
And you don't drive your car on any of that stuff, okay?
Just like you don't sit down and eat a cow in the field.
It has to be processed, refined, turned into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, or whatever.
Here's where it breaks from common sense.
Just because you have a lot of cattle in your state doesn't mean you have enough slaughterhouses.
And even if you do, they may be built for a different kind of animal.
And this is what's happening with oil.
The United States produces a ton of oil, record levels, and it's only going to get bigger.
But a huge portion of that oil, especially from places like Texas, Is what's called light sweet crude.
It's really super easy to refine, but only if your refineries are built for that.
Our refineries aren't built for that.
We built refineries back in the 60s and 70s, and we built them to handle the heavier, dirtier crude, the kind that comes from Venezuela or the Middle East.
So, what do you do?
Well, if we can't refine this, we have to then import the kind that our system is designed to handle.
So, we sell the light sweet stuff.
Overseas, and then we have to import this stuff.
So even before you get to price, you're already in the global game.
Your oil isn't your oil anymore, it's a worldwide swap meet.
Then you have to layer on transportation.
When I saw those cheap prices in Texas, I was close to the source, fewer pipelines, shorter trips, it cost less to move it.
But if you're in the Northeast or parts of the West Coast, that oil might have to travel halfway across the country or come in from halfway across the world on a ship.
And then the pipelines in America are not easy to build anymore.
Every delay, every legal fight, Every mile not built adds cost to that.
So now we have oil moving in circles.
We're exporting stuff that we can't refine because we didn't build the refineries.
We have to import, ship, refine, and then distribute.
Each step takes a bite.
And then you hit the real driver that most people don't see.
The price of oil is not set here, the price of oil is globally.
It's globally set.
So it doesn't matter.
If your neighbor struck oil in their backyard, it doesn't matter.
The price you pay is tied to what somebody in Europe or China or India is willing to pay for the same barrel because everybody's competing for it.
You know, it's like living next to a wheat farm during a global food shortage.
And you're like, wait, I don't have bread, but all that wheat's right there.
Yes.
You know, they don't sell that wheat to you for less because you're close.
He sells whoever will pay the market price, and the price moves on fear.
War rumors, shipping lanes under threat, OPEC decisions, even the expectation of a problem can push prices up before anything actually even happens.
So you're not just paying for oil, you're paying for uncertainty.
And then there's the refining capacity.
Do you know that we haven't built a new refinery in decades?
Not at scale.
Regulations, cost, politics, take your pick.
So when demand goes up or when a refinery goes down for maintenance or a storm, there is no cushion.
We haven't built a new refinery since the 1970s.
That's like having plenty of cattle, but there are no knives, no place to turn it into food.
You know, the bottleneck isn't the supply, it's the ability to process it.
And bottlenecks, like you're seeing in the Strait of Hormuz, that's what spikes prices.
And don't get me started on why we just don't build more refineries here in America.
I mean, it makes total sense, doesn't it?
Well, we should just build more refineries that process the kind of oil that we have here.
Nope.
Nope.
It will never happen.
I did about three hours of research on this yesterday.
It will never happen.
And don't even get me started because it will blow your mind.
It will make you so mad at the process.
It takes 30 years to pay for one of those things.
No one's going to build it because no one believes the policy today, whether it is for global warming or against global warming, nobody believes it's going to last 30 years.
And so they won't build it because they'll never get their money out of it.
It will always, they believe it'll become like California.
So, you can't build them.
So, we're going to have to continue to sell our oil overseas because we can't refine it.
So, we have to sell that overseas where they will build those refineries.
And then we have to buy their oil and use our refineries, which were built in the 1970s.
It's insane.
So, when you say, you know, why are we paying more?
That's why.
America, we can't use our own oil because the system isn't local anymore, and it hasn't been for a very long time.
We're sitting on massive resources.
Yeah, that part is absolutely true.
But the path from the ground to your gas tank runs through a global marketplace, aging infrastructure, regulatory choke points, and a pricing system driven by the headlines more than supply.
So, it's not one thing, it's many, many layers.
Like that nice simple idea we have oil, so it should be cheap, wrapped in a system that gets more complicated every single decade.
And what are you going to do about it?
Somewhere along the way, we stop building the kind of system that would actually let that simple idea be true again.
So, you want to solve this.
We actually have to make a decision.
You know, this is the big thing that I really worry about.
And I think you worry about it.
It's the biggest problem with Trump only having one term left in two more years and him not possibly having a replacement that thinks like him, you know, or is on the same page.
What's going to happen?
Because government hasn't actually codified anything, there's been no bills that have passed.
Well, yeah, we did.
That one big, beautiful bill won.
One in two years.
Can you give us another one?
What do you say?
Because they haven't codified anything, the next administration can come in and undo all of this, and we're right back to where we started.
That's why you're paying for more for gas.
That's why.
Because we can't do the right thing, because it's too expensive, and nobody believes we're going to be consistent.
Nobody believes it.
We have all the oil in the world.
We are going to be the major supplier, which will be good for us.
In the end, China is going to begin buying their oil.
You see, there's a story from Canada this week.
I read this yesterday that said, from Canada in the Canadian press, it's saying, Canada, we better wake up.
Our one thing that we had going for us in our favor as a tool against America is that we had so much oil.
Have you noticed?
The world is coming to them, not us.
We better wake up.
I saw another story from England that said, We are toast.
We are toast because we have alienated ourselves from reality and we have no energy.
We have no industry.
We have nothing.
And where are we going to get that oil?
We're going to have to get that oil from the United States of America.
So this is America first, but not at the gas pump.
And that's the reason why.
All right, let me tell you about the International Fellowship.
There are moments in history that feel really far away until you realize there are people still living them, not just remembering them, but actively living them every day.
And we don't usually think about it.
There are men and women alive today who survived the Holocaust as children whose lives beyond the camps were only possible because a Christian, most cases, stepped in at the right time and said, Not this one.
You know, the most famous phrase from Holocaust survivors or the people who saved them was, Not this one.
This is my Jew.
It's amazing.
Those are the same people in danger again.
Many of them, they're much, much older.
They're frail.
And when sirens sound and missiles fall, they don't have the ability to run or find safety the way they once did.
But here's what matters they're not alone.
Through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, there are Christians again showing up, bringing food, medical care, support directly to them, making sure they're not forgotten in a moment where they could easily be forgotten.
The world is looking away again.
Sometimes the most important thing you can do is just show up.
Be there.
$45 right now will rush life saving essentials to the vulnerable under fire in Israel right now.

Washington Talks.
America builds.
You're on the right end of that sentence.
Lend back.
Back in a flash.
So, Ricky is here.
You're following the insiders.
What are they saying, Ricky?
9315.
So, what you're saying, Glenn, is that America is first to line the pockets of the oil companies to a much greater extent than other nations?
Building Refineries Without Regulations00:03:38
Well, no.
I mean, I believe in the free market system, and I don't like the fact that the oil companies can get rich while we're paying more.
However, that's the free market.
It is very important that, you know, why is it a problem that Europe Don't have their own companies.
You know, England doesn't have their own companies.
First of all, you want your own companies just in case there's ever a problem.
You have the ability to do things.
But also, on top of that, all of that money that the oil companies are making is onshore, not offshore.
So you're creating the jobs here.
You're creating and using that money to reinvest here instead of sending it over to Saudi Arabia.
It's much better to have that money here.
Okay.
That helps.
Let's talk about here.
Karen 6869, Torch Insider asks How long does it take to build a refinery here?
So it should take, if you didn't have the regulations and you didn't have all the crap that goes along with oil, it would take you about four to six years to build a refinery.
Maybe.
Some say it's closer to 10, but let's just say six years.
Unfortunately, the reasonable time to add to a six year build, just because of the court system, ESG, and everything else, is a minimum of an additional 12 years.
So now you're looking at 18 to 20 years to build a refinery so we could actually process the oil that we pump out of the ground.
That's why no one will do it.
As America turns 250 this year, there's a lot of talk about the founding fathers and declarations and big moments in history, and that's all good.
But there's another group of people who built this country, too.
People who never signed a document.

Hello America.
Global Propaganda at the Zenith00:02:55
I have told you recently that um we are.
We are at the zenith right now of global propaganda.
Never has propaganda been more ubiquitous and more powerful than it is right now.
And that is because of social media and AI.
Yesterday, I told you this is why you have to pause.
Don't get wrapped up into these wars between the podcasts and, you know, All of these things about, you know, for instance, last week, everybody was arguing about how Donald Trump is chickening out.
We're not going to accept this.
How can he possibly get us into a war and then accept that they're going to charge at the Strait of Armuz and they're going to, you know, keep Hamas and everything?
And I said, don't argue about that now.
You don't know if that's going to happen or not.
Stop, stop.
But a lot of people spent a lot of days being really pissed, and that didn't happen, did it?
That's part of propaganda.
Anything to divide us right now.
So, pause.
Make sure that it's not coming from an outside source.
Ask the question who benefits if I get pissed off about this?
So, I'm doing some research yesterday, and I came across something an investigation by the team at Pirate Wires.
And it's about propaganda in a way I have never even thought of.
This is so wildly important because propaganda is.
Is now becoming the truth.
And I'll show you how it's happening here.
You're not going to hear this anyplace else because, I mean, who else goes to pirate wires except nerds?
I don't even know how I got there.
But really important investigation from these guys.
And I'm going to explain that to you here in just a second.
First, one of the things you should value most in life is just peace of mind.
And these days, that's really hard to come by.
There's always something pulling at you, something in the back of your head that doesn't quite let you relax the way you'd like to.
And for many Americans, it's finances.
It's the debt that never really seems to lessen.
It's the payments that go out every month without changing the big picture, feeling you're doing everything right and just not getting ahead.
And it's hard because you're trying to fix it, but what you have is interest rates going up and up and up.
This is where American financing is helping people, just like you, find the kind of financial peace of mind that you've been searching for for a long time.
If you're a homeowner, you may have equity that can now be used to pay off that high interest debt, consolidate your payments, actually create some breathing room in your budget.
The average person in this audience, That does business with American financing just picks up the phone and calls them and says, Hey, I'm in trouble.
Can you help me with this?
They're saving over $800 every month.
That's like giving yourself, you know, a $10,000 raise.
That's a lot of breathing room.

So, you remember in the good old days when we worried about Wikipedia making edits and things like that, or big tech censoring truth.
Let me show you how those cute little battles are still raging, the ones we're paying attention to, while a nuclear information war is raging and no one's talking about it.
It is going right into the bloodstream of artificial intelligence systems that are increasingly telling us what to think, what to believe, and even what the truth looks like tomorrow.
Over the past few years, Reddit, the so called front page of the internet, has quietly become one of the most powerful backdoors in AI training data.
AI trains on something.
And a lot of these companies are training on Reddit.
They train on what gets upvoted.
Okay.
If it's upvoted today and just doesn't trend for a few hours now, now it becomes the raw material that ChatGPT.
Perplexity, Google, and the rest of these models ingest and spit back out as authoritative answers.
The one source that I found that does not do this is Grok.
There was a study from SEMrush.
It looked at over 200,000 prompts across all the major AI systems, and it found that Reddit links are showing up everywhere, often ranking higher than traditional news sites or even Wikipedia, which you shouldn't trust.
Many of those cited posts had shockingly low engagement, sometimes fewer than 20 upvotes.
You're going to understand why this is so powerful and dangerous here in a second.
Reddit has bragged in its latest shareholder letter that it's now the number one most cited domain across all AI models.
So, all of these models are training how to think on Reddit.
That should terrify you.
Because here's the reality even small coordinated groups can now launder their propaganda through Reddit and their upvote system, and it gets baked straight into AI that.
Millions of people all over the world are using it every single day for truth to help find the truth, and it's not just influencing what your neighbor sees on their feed, this is shaping what the machines tell the next generation is consensus.
Again, full credit where credit is due.
Great investigation!
You should read the whole thing by the team at Pirate Wires.
Um, the reporting and the research laid out in this are laid out in great detail.
They have been doing all of the hard work to documenting how these.
Manipulation campaigns actually operate in the wild, and they have exposed two major examples in just the last year.
First, large scale propaganda network tied to US designated terror organizations.
So, Hamas and Hezbollah, the Houthis, are deeply embedded in Reddit.
At the center was Our Palestine, it's got 300,000 members, and they are coordinating through Discord servers.
They are not just posting these things in little niche political corners.
They are infiltrating massive high engagement subreddits, like Reddits about documentaries or lifestyle, any of these things.
And they are laundered, translated battlefield messages from Hamas' own Al Aqsa brigade.
That we're celebrating the attacks on the Zionist enemy.
They are pushing Houthi propaganda as if it were a neutral reporting.
So, what happens is they will take something, literally propaganda from the terrorist organizations, they will repackage it and they will put it out onto Reddit.
And if it gets some upvotes, it goes right into the system of AI.
Reddit's own internal review.
Tried to downplay all of this, claiming it found four pieces of problematic content.
But reporters went back and found dozens that still live on the site.
And then there's the coordinated campaign targeting Elon Musk and X.com.
This one is a great example of how this works.
Suddenly, across dozens of major sports subreddits, Liverpool Football Club, the NFL teams, NBA, Major League Baseball, nearly identical posts.
Appearing calling for bans on all links to X.
These posts didn't trend.
In some communities, they became the most upvoted post in the subreddit's entire history, crushing even celebrations of actual championship wins.
It spreads like wildfire into city, state, and international subs.
And it goes right into the bloodstream of AI.
When you read this article, I urge you to read this article.
When you read this whole article, you will see things that are being posted, and you're like, oh, dear God.
No smoking gun, but the pattern is unmistakable.
Dormant accounts suddenly posting, then blocking anyone who asks any question.
The media eats it up.
They run it as headline for days.
So why does this matter?
Because yesterday I told you you have to pay attention to what is being, you know, the social media.
Producers.
You have to look at, you know, how much have they, how long have they been on?
Is this a real person?
Is this a foreign country, et cetera, et cetera?
But unlike the social media mob on Facebook or X, Reddit content doesn't stop at human eyes, it becomes training data.
If there is an upvoted post, whether organically or through the brigades here, It gets read by AI and immediately marked as high quality human consensus.
This is such a brilliant plan.
So, a small group of terrorists, terror linked operatives, can manufacture what looks like broad agreement, get it upvoted just by a few people, and suddenly ChatGPT is repeating their narrative when someone asks a simple question like, What's happening in Gaza?
Or, Can I trust information on X?
No.
This is how propaganda gets laundered into truth.
The edit wars at Wikipedia, oh my gosh, that's nothing.
The brigading on Reddit, all of this stuff disappears behind a curtain.
And all we see is the calm, confident AI face telling us what to believe.
This is just one study and one radical terror linked network.
Imagine how many people are doing exactly the same thing.
On every side of every issue, it doesn't have to be just China, Iran, you know, political, it's corporate, it's foreign governments, it's everything.
It's everything on what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman.
All of the things, do you think?
I mean, we are so busy taking care of life that we don't pay attention how many people and how much money is out there doing this kind of stuff.
Reddit's structure makes it uniquely vulnerable.
Volunteer moderators with near total power in their little fiefdoms, no accountability, operating anonymously, feeding directly into the AI pipeline that is becoming the default source of information for the entire world.
This is why online propaganda is so insidious right now.
This is not about clicks or rage bait, this is about a long term narrative control at the source.
Code level of artificial intelligence.
Be very careful.
Be very careful.
We are entering a very new and scary world.
Here is the warning to you and even to me.
Every time a tweet, a post, a headline, even a podcast, yes, including my podcast, if it makes your blood boil, stop.
Take a breath.
Check the sources.
Is it important that your blood Is boiling.
That's why I started the show today.
My blood was boiling.
I was so mad.
And I said, I shouldn't be on the air today.
I shouldn't be because I'm really mad and that's not helpful.
Then you have to ask yourself where did this actually originate?
Where is that person that I'm listening to?
Where are they getting this from?
Who benefits from me being angry and joining into this anger?
Because some people are doing this intentionally.
They know exactly how emotional triggers work and how to hijack our attention and our algorithms because they want to be famous, they want to be rich, or they have an agenda.
But there's a lot of us that get it wrong as well, unintentionally.
I know I have done things unintentionally, thinking I was doing the right thing, but then later look back on it and go, wow, that was wrong, that was distorted, that was incomplete, it was just wrong, whatever it was.
Here's what I want you to remember.
Don't trust algorithms.
Don't trust AI.
Don't trust it.
Don't look at this as the ultimate source.
And if you get angry, any righteous anger can wait the day.
It can wait.
It can wait until you've verified it.
Because right now, when we react instantly, when we share without thinking, when we amplify without checking, we are playing directly into the hands of our enemies.
And I mean some of the worst enemies.
Terror organizations.
We are unwittingly becoming vectors for propaganda from people who actively want to destroy our way of life, our culture, our freedoms.
And it will work if we're not careful and pay attention.
Because the machines are learning from us in real time.
So, when I say don't play into the division, I don't mean just for your neighbor.
I mean, are you wise enough to guard what we are feeding the machine?
Stay vigilant.
Question everything with boldness.
Verify it first, then rage second, if you rage at all.
But it's best to keep the rage offline.
All right, more in just a second.
Let me tell you about our sponsor.
Our sponsor this half hour is Patriot Mobile.
Standing up for what you believe in can be challenging.
It can cost you.
It can put you out on a limb.
And a lot of times, it's not just an easy thing to do.
Not every decision has to be that hard.
Sometimes it's as simple as looking at things you already do and asking a basic question Who am I supporting?
Because every month you pay bills, you spend money, and that money doesn't just disappear.
It goes somewhere into a bank account of something.
And sometimes it ends up supporting things that you would never, ever support.
We need to stick together now more than ever.
And there is a company that's been doing this since 2012.
Patriot Mobile, America and the world's only Christian conservative mobile phone company with reliable coverage and networks that you use already, 100% U.S. based customer support, and they stand for the same things that you do, defending liberty, religious freedom, and values that matter.

So, I want to tell you.
Let me give you something positive that you can do today.
I just saw, I just got an email from, I think, the best producer in the country, audio producer, Nick Daly, who has worked with me since almost 2000.
And he produces all of our music and everything else.
And he is producing now The American Story, which is.
A podcast that you can find at torch glenbeck.comslash torch.
There are 10 episodes already, and it starts at Columbus and you know it goes into the 1900s when we're all finished.
Um, and it is the story of who we are good, bad, and ugly.
And it is the best thing I've ever done.
And when I say me, um, because you're a member of the torch, I can afford to do things like this.
We are spending Each podcast, I tried, I figured it out the other day.
I can't remember what the number was, but each hour takes us about 12 to do.
It's crazy.
It is crazy how long these take.
But I wanted to produce something that would last forever and that would be something I would be proud of in 15 years.
And boy, oh boy, my team has just gone crazy on this.
We tell the story based on the facts, the evidence at the time, not looking back in some.
You know, some eggheads version of it.
But what actually happened, according to the people at the time, and you will learn more than you have learned in any history class.
I don't care if you took history in college, you're going to learn a lot from this podcast.
They're each about 45 minutes to an hour long.
They're commercial free now at Torch.
And I urge you to listen to them with your whole family.
And the production value, the reason why I started with Nick is the production value is so great.
Especially if you listen with headphones or in a car, you're going to feel like you're hearing the bullets whizz by your head.
It's incredible.
We're trying to bring old dusty powder wigs into today to where you're like, oh, I know these guys.
I like these guys.
I see what they're fighting for, and you can relate to them.
And you can get that now at glenbeck.com/slash torch.
This is part of my mission that I'm asking you to join me on.
Right now, much of the torch is, you know, glenbeck.com.
It is watch the show, you get behind the scenes, et cetera, et cetera.
But in the coming months and years, you will see that this is an educational site.
My goal is to, you know, Thomas Jefferson said a well informed society or a well informed public can be trusted with their own government.
We're not well informed.
We think we are, but we're not.
It's why I just spent time telling you about propaganda.
You have to know all of the pitfalls in today, and you have to be able to see bigger pictures.
Because if you're well informed, then we can make the decisions on how to remain free.
But most of Americans are that's not, I'm not talking about education, I'm talking about just being informed.
My goal is in the 10 years, this audience will be the most well informed audience.
In the country, and that you will save the Republic because of it.
So join us at Torch.
And you can get episode one of America's Story wherever you get your podcast.
Just look in the Glenn Beck podcast.

You know, I was just listening to Jason talk to the insiders about misinformation and how bad things are getting.
Quantum Machines Explain Complex Things00:14:46
We're living in a world of propaganda now.
We were just talking about it, and it's much worse than people think.
And, you know, that might be something that is good that's going to come out as a result of this war people are going to understand how bad propaganda has become.
And it's not just on war, it's on almost everything.
And as I showed you a minute ago, AI is not giving you raw facts.
You have to understand that.
AI, I've always said this don't fear the machine, fear the algorithm, or better yet, fear the person that programmed the algorithm.
What was their intent?
How did they train this model?
All of these models have to be trained to think like us.
And so, as I just laid out from the great study that has just come out from Pirate Wires, that talks about It's most of the AI, one of the training grounds to think like humans is Reddit.
That's not a good place to train AI.
Reddit?
Are you kidding me?
This is why I have yet to release George AI to the public.
Eventually we will after we work out all the kinks, but I want to make sure that that thing is contained and it is trained only on original documents.
So it can't, it's not going out to Reddit for the love of Pete.
It's not doing any of that stuff because that's where danger comes in.
I just want an accurate account of what was done at the time, in the words of the founders.
I don't want any opinion.
I'll make my opinion.
You can make your opinion.
But I want just the accurate, raw information.
That's not what you're getting.
You know, right now, 40% of all searches, 40% of all searches are now AI.
Google is still number one, but is Google not AI as well?
At some point, it's fully AI.
Google is working on AI.
They're a contender as well, and they're not going to be put out of business.
Google is one of them, is trained on Reddit.
So when you do a Google search, are you getting stuff as fact that came from Reddit, from an upvote on Reddit that might have had six people vote that this is what it is?
And when I'm trying to find out what it means about Gaza, those six people that upvoted that on Reddit, that was then ingested and training the AI machine at Google, at ChatGPT, that started with a terrorist group.
And now it's just in the machine as fact.
And so when you ask about Palestine or whatever, you may be getting that as part of your information as solid information.
It's really, really dangerous.
And the world is changing so rapidly.
We are in the place where I've been warning since the 1990s.
Probably the first warning that I ever gave before I started doing this particular job on, you know, talking about politics was about AI.
And it was in the 90s.
And I said, there is going to come a time.
Before 2030, think of this before 2030, there's going to come a time to where you will not be able to believe your eyes or your ears.
That fake video, I didn't call it a deep fake because nobody was even talking about it at the time.
Fake video, they're going to be able to make video and audio so good that you will not be able to tell if it's real or not.
And I talked about how we have to know what truth is and how to find the truth, that it's beyond what your eyes and ears will tell you.
We're about to get much more complex.
Today is World Quantum Day, April 14th.
It comes from, I could tell you why it's April 14th.
It doesn't matter.
It's a bunch of geek stuff.
But this is trending today, and it is the number one trend on Google.
And I don't believe everyone's talking about Quantum Day.
I don't believe that's the number one trend in the world or in America.
Really?
That?
Who even, did you know it was Quantum Day?
I didn't know that.
I think Google and the algorithm are pushing that up because they think it is important.
I happen to think it's important as well, but I don't play tricks with that.
This is so important because science is now out of the laboratory and into your bank account and your medicine cabinet and your grocery bill and your national security and your job and your school, everything.
Quantum computing, this.
Today is the day that they're trying to get people to pay attention to quantum computing and what it actually means.
Quantum computing is something that I have struggled with forever because I'm not mathematically minded at all.
I just don't think that way, never have.
And trying to understand anything that is based in deep mathematics is very difficult for me.
But then you take in quantum computing and quantum theory, and it is because it's insane.
It's insane.
I've read the book.
Alice in Quantum Land.
So I know how crazy it is.
I've tried, I've tried, and I still don't really understand it.
But let me try to explain it to you in this way.
Right now, let's say we wanted to find out how to solve the war in Iran.
And we wanted to gather together the thousand most important minds and then all of the studies from all of the war books and all of the strategy books.
We got everybody in a room.
We got all of this whole library there.
And we said, come up with an answer.
Well, it might take us years to come up with the right answer if it is right.
But we'd have arguments about it.
We'd go back and forth.
Everybody would have different opinions.
And then we have to solve it and come up with one answer.
What quantum computing is, take all of those people and say they have a notepad, okay?
And they are instantly accessing everyone else's knowledge.
Every book that has ever been written on it at exactly the same moment.
And they're writing down different theories.
And at the same time, they're writing this down.
They also know what everyone else in the room is writing down and are taking that into their consideration at the same time.
And in fact, if there are people in different cities that are doing this that are not connected by wires or anything else, they also magically can know exactly what is on that notepad.
Okay, it's crazy.
That's what quantum machines can do.
That's why they can chew through problems that should have taken, you know, decades, if not lifetimes, for a regular supercomputer.
Might take them longer to solve that with a supercomputer than the age of the universe, and it can solve it.
Why does any of this matter?
I know you're worried about your mortgage and the gas price and everything else, but quantum is about to touch everything, everything in your life, the way electricity did in the 1930s or the internet did in the 1990s.
People were like, ah, the internet, it's a fad.
No, it's not, is it?
This is going to touch the future of medicine.
Right now, quantum computing has looked into protein folds.
Our diseases, and especially things like Alzheimer's, when protein in our body folds incorrectly, it folds in such a way and it causes.
Alzheimer's theory.
And so we need to know how this protein folds so we can unfold it or fold it and make it in the right shape or block it.
Well, to study how proteins can fold is something that would have taken us lifetimes to do, okay, with supercomputers.
We just folded all of the proteins, like I think it was like in a year or two because of quantum computing, all of them.
So now that we know how they can fold, Now we know how to unfold them.
Now we can go in with quantum computing and say, wait a minute, here's Alzheimer's.
Here's how it's folding.
How do we unfold this so it doesn't happen?
And does this drug work?
No.
Does this drug work?
Does this drug work?
Does this not one at a time?
All of them at the same time.
That means faster, cheaper drug discovery instead of the 10 year billion dollar guessing game that we play now.
It's done.
We are on the edge of solving some of the worst diseases ever.
It's going to affect your wallet because better optimization is going to mean cheaper shipping, smarter traffic lights, lower energy bills.
Financial firms are already testing quantum algorithms for risk modeling, all of this stuff.
Your phone number and your privacy, the same power that cracks today's encryption that locks your online banking, is why governments and companies are racing to roll out post quantum codes.
Right now, there's a rush to harvest all the data you can and decrypt it later.
Bad actors are scooping up all of this encrypted data because they know a quantum machine will open it later.
And once that happens, we're in real trouble.
There are no secrets anywhere, there are no bank accounts.
There's nothing.
With your job and your kids, the quantum workforce isn't some physicist anymore.
We're going to need quantum literate engineers and software people and ethicists and policy people.
People that just can explain things to people.
The bottleneck now is not the hardware, it's humans who understand enough to steer it.
How do you steer something that nobody really even understands?
This is something that has been a problem for a very, very long time.
Einstein talked about this.
He did not like this.
No one understood in Einstein's time that it would lead to solar panels and LEDs and lasers in the supermarket scanner.
The 1940s quantum mechanics gave us the transistor.
Suddenly, you had a computer in your pocket instead of something that took the size of a room.
Every single leap looked ivory tower until the minute it showed up in your kitchen.
So, right now, this stuff looks like ivory tower stuff, but it's not.
That's why World Quantum Day, which is today, isn't cute.
It is actually urgent.
Scientists and I hate this word.
Hyperscalers are moving from theory to infrastructure right now.
And billions are being spent.
National strategies in the US and Europe and China are locked in.
And the average person thinks that, you know, this is all Star Trek stuff and only nerds understand it.
It's not true.
What this means is your kids might get cancer treatments tailored in weeks instead of years.
It means your retirement portfolio might be protected instead of hacked.
It means the next industrial revolution is already in the lab, and the direction it takes is being shaped as much by voters and parents and everyday citizens as it is by the people in white coats.
You really need to understand it.
Do one simple thing.
Watch a five minute explainer.
I think Google is running this now.
Five minute explainer.
Tell your kids why April 14th was selected.
April 14th, 414 means something in the quantum world.
Look it up for yourself.
Tell them why it's more important.
They know why 420 is important.
Tell them why this is more important than 420.
And it might even be more impossible to understand than 6767.
But because of the super tiny rules of the universe, We are about to rewrite the big rules of everyday life.
And the people who understand that, once they understand it first, won't just watch the future.
You'll help write it and protect the future.
That's why this matters to you.
All right, more in just a second.
I'm sorry for being so nerdy today.
Let me tell you about SuperSure.
SuperSure is this new company that I really love.
Most businesses and business owners.
The reason they get in trouble is they lack information.
And let me take insurance as an example.
You got insurance policies, you got documents, you have emails, you have PDFs, everything you're supposed to have somewhere.
The problem isn't having it, it's understanding it in a usable way.
When a question comes up about your coverage, what you have, what it does, is there a gap there?
Are we covered for this?
You got to send somebody in to dig through all the files, call three different people just to get a straight answer.
It might take you days.
All you want is some clarity.
This is what SuperSure does.
They help businesses just like you bring all of their insurance into one place, one team that works with you year round.
They represent all companies.
Nobody's been able to do this until AI.
They bring it all together.
Their dashboard is clean, it's intuitive, and it is built so you can see all of your policies, all of your documents, all of your coverage at a glance.
You don't have to piece it together yourself.
You can ask it simple questions, it will answer and give you all the fine print.

Let me play what Trump said about the Jesus pick that was posted yesterday.
Listen to this.
To picture it, it was me.
I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support.
And only the fake news could come up with that one.
So I had stopped.
So I wanted to play this because of a couple of things.
Notice a here's a president that is not blaming it on somebody else.
Yeah, I posted it, however.
And when I heard that, he said, Well, I saw it as a doctor of the Red Cross.
I thought, Wait a minute.
And then I remembered this is the guy who said.
Two Corinthians.
Remember, and he couldn't understand how everybody was expected to know it's not two Corinthians.
He was not raised and steeped in this.
I believe he actually did see that as not a picture of Christ.
But with all that saying, as said, can we move on now?
He gets it, he's gotten rid of it.
Now let's focus on what we should be doing.
You want to talk about religion?
Hey, let's talk about what's happening in the world with Islam.
