The creepiest movie trailer ever?

August 23, 2013

Writer

Would you date a fake chick? That's the premise of a new movie, Her, starring Joaquin Phoenix where he falls in love with a computer-generated person. Is this a sneak peek into our future?

“I'll bet you somebody read Ray Kurzweil [director of engineering at Google] and wrote this based off of the predictions that he makes,” Glenn said on radio this morning of the new film. “This is exactly the scenario. And let's play the trailer, and you'll have to listen. Joaquin Phoenix comes into his home and the voice that he hears is not real. She is a synthesized computer that reads into everything.”

One of the creepier aspects of the trailer comes when Joaquin Phoenix’s character tells the computer (aka Samantha) that he loves the way she looks at world. In reality, she looks at the world the way he wants her to look at the world – she a figment of a computer he has programmed.

“He answered all those questions and then they programmed it to look at the way the world he does,” Pat explained. “This is just a movie right now, but it's not that far off. According to Kurzweil we're, what, 10 years from this?”

“I said to Ray, ‘Hang on just a second. You’ll be able to know exactly what I'm doing with a search engine? You'll be able to monitor my whole life? You'll know exactly what I'm thinking.’ So let's not even talk about how spooky that is if you ever get in bed with the government – I said, ‘Let's look at this as, why would Google ever allow me to make a new search engine better than Google?’ Why would anybody do that? Google won't. If they know that I am coming up and I am starting to be a competitor, they will frustrate me and stop me.”

Just last week, Google crashed for 5 minutes and there was a 40% drop in global Internet traffic. Figuratively we all know the reach and scope of Google, but that singular event literally showed the power it commands.

“How do you get off Google,” Glenn asked. “If they already control 40% of the world's traffic, and then they control your town, and they have absolutely everything wired through Google fiber? I mean you're not getting away from them. You're just not getting away from them. But don't worry. Your fake girlfriend at home will say, ‘Don't worry about Google. They're your friend.’”

POLL: What did YOU think about the 2nd GOP presidential debate?

Wednesday was a big night for the Republican presidential candidates during the second GOP debate... OR WAS IT?

Glenn wasn't impressed with the debate. In fact, he went as far as to say it was the worst Presidential debate BY FAR he had ever seen for THIS reason: NO ONE discussed the major issues that Americans are actually facing.

Inflation has doubled Americans' grocery bills. Gas is nearing a historic record of $100/barrel. We have DOUBLED our national deficit. Bidenomics and the globalists' green agenda pose an existential threat to core American industries while we continue to fund the Ukrainian people's pensions and small businesses. It is as if our government has forgotten the American people.

Get THE DOCUMENTS for the 'Parental Advisory' Glenn TV special

There was a time when both the Left and the Right agreed that parents have the final say in raising their children... Not anymore.

In the People's Republic of California, the STATE, not parents, will determine whether children should undergo transgender treatments. The California state legislature just passed a law that will require judges in child custody cases to consider whether parents support a child’s gender transition. According to the law, the state now thinks total affirmation is an integral part of a child’s “health, safety, and welfare.”

We are inching closer to a dystopia where the state, not the parents, have ultimate rights over their children, a history that people from former Soviet nations would feign repeating.

Glenn dove into the law AND MORE in this episode titled, "Parental Advisory: The EXPLICIT plot to control YOUR kids." To get all the research that went into this episode AND information on how YOU can fight back, enter your email address below:

The Biden admin has let in MORE illegal aliens than the populations of THESE 15 states

There are currently an estimated 16.8 MILLION illegal aliens residing in the United States as of June 2023, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). This number is already 1.3 million higher than FAIR's January 2022 estimate of 15.5 million and a 2.3 million increase from its end-of-2020 estimate. Even Democrats like New York City's Mayor Adams Mayor Adams are waking up to what Conservatives have been warning for years: we are in a border CRISIS.

However, this isn't the same border crisis that Republicans were warning about back in 2010. In the first two years of the Biden administration alone, the illegal alien population increased by 16 PERCENT nationwide, imposing a whopping net cost of $150.6 BILLION PER YEAR on American taxpayers. That is nearly DOUBLE the total amount that the Biden administration has sent to Ukraine.

This isn't the same border crisis that Republicans were warning about back in 2010.

These large numbers often make it difficult to conceptualize the sheer impact of illegal immigration on the United States. To put it in perspective, we have listed ALL 15 states and the District of Colombia that have smaller populations than the 2.3 MILLION illegal immigrants, who have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration. That is more than the entire populations of Wyoming, Vermont, and South Dakota COMBINED—and the American taxpayers have to pay the price.

Here are all 16 states/districts that have FEWER people than the illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration.
