GLENN: If you want to prepare yourself and make sure that you are in the driver's seat and you are going to survive the next 18 to 36 months of business or life, honestly, you know how the Trump administration has just sped things up so much, you can barely keep ahead of it. You're like, wait. Wait. I need an update on that. That is partly because of Elon Musk and Grok.

Partly because Elon Musk is overwhelming the system.

Just move. Move. Move. Move.

And partly because he has four years. Or really a year, or less than that. To make these changes or have an effect.

Our country in a meaningful way.

That is what life will be like here, very, very soon.

And I -- I -- I've been urging you to understand AI.

But now I've been talking to so many people who have said, have you tried unhinged on Grok.

Yeah. Don't do that. Don't do that happen.

It might be fun. But don't do that.

Did you see the app where, you can go on Grok three. And it will talk dirty to you. Definitely don't do that. You have to have some ethics with this. And don't get sucked into the sexy things.

Don't!

So how do you begin?

I urge you to try this, this weekend. You will have a blast this weekend. Keep the guardrails.

But have a blast this weekend.

You don't have to be a tech genius to do this. You know, I can't figure out my remote control. I swear to God. Something happens, and my television says, you know, Wi-Fi network is down.

I just look at it, turn the TV off, turn it back on, if it stills says that. And I'm like, well, maybe it will come back sometime.

And then I walk away. My teenagers have left the House. So I have no idea. That's because, I mean, try. If you've always used Apple, try to use Microsoft. Not a priority. You've always used Microsoft, try to use Apple. It will drive you out of your mind because we calcify.

That's not this. You've never seen this kind of technology before, and it's totally intuitive.

No matter how old you are, this is not hard. What's hard is to keep the car on the right road.

Okay? So you don't have to be a tech genius. All you have to have is curiosity, discipline. And the ability to learn how to prompt it.

How to ask it questions.

So this weekend, I want you to start with something like Grok three. Okay? Or any tool like it. But ask it questions, that matter to you, that you don't think it could answer.

If you're a CEO of a company, ask it to analyze your competitor's strategies. Based on public data.

Or forecast market trends with the latest numbers. And how your company can survive that!

Do it!
Your mind will be blown.

I have talked to people in every industry, and I said, hey. Go in, and find the hardest question you have, as a CEO. And ask it. And every time, my friends come back and say, good God, it knows everything.

Uh-huh. If you're an artist, have it critique your work. Okay.

It's amazing, what it will say. Have it generate ideas for your next project. And I'm not saying, you have to do it. But here's what I mean on this.

Because a lot of creative people are like, I'm not going to do that. No. No. No.

Use it this way. You will never, ever have writer's block again.

You know how sometimes they say, just start writing. Okay?

Just Grok. Give me a target point.

And believe me, it will give you a starting point. And you may look at that, I don't want to do anything like that.

But I know where to start now.

There's no reason to have writers black. And I'm not creative.

Okay. In any field.

So let's begin at the prompting. And let it prompt. You prompt it. Then let it show you something. Then you do you, boo.

That's just the way it is. If you're a stay at home mom, my wife asked me a couple of nights ago, how is this going to affect me? Okay. A couple of ways. Just if you're in charge of the budget. Just have it optimize your budget. See what it comes back with. Ask it to plan a month of meals. And then give it the shopping list, based on what we think MAHA will approve.

You know how hard that is, just to go look at you all the ingredients. This is what I want to make. And I've always used, you know, tough that's they're saying now is bad for me. You can say it now just like that. And I really kind of want to be a part of this MAHA thing. But I don't know what -- could you make meatloaf that would be MAHA friendly. What ingredients. It would do it.

Just that, would -- you'll have the recipe, and exactly what to make it with. In about ten seconds.

You can say, I need a week worth of meals. We like these kinds of things.

I only have this amount to prepare every day. I want it to be healthy, like MAHA. Have you give me breakfast or dinner. Or just dinner every day for the next week.

It will generate that. And then you will go, I don't like that one. Try something else. Try it with chicken. What can you do with chicken? Then you narrow it down. Then say, produce the grocery list.

Then you can say, which -- which bot could I get. And how do I do this?

I want to just put it out online and have it delivered on my schedule.

And it will.

It's crazy! You ever been educating your kids. You're sitting down. They have homework.

And you're pissed, because you're like, I did this once already!

Now I've got homework too!

And you're sitting there, like, I have no idea. I have no idea what they're even talking about. Because I forgot all of that crap. Or math used to be a lot different.

You can take anything that your kids are struggling with and say, go into the other room. Grok, my kids are learning this. Here's the problem they're working on. Can you explain this to me, like you're talking to a 7-year-old.

And it will!

And then you go in and go, you know what, son, let Dad explain this to you. And, I mean, you will look like a genius. And it will do it!

Research the best educational tools for your kids. You ever wondered what to say, if your kid would come home and say, I think I'm born in the wrong body?

Now, I know what jumps to mind.

But then the second thing that jumps to mind is, don't say that. Because every expert says, they will kill themselves.

Okay. So then you're like, well, I don't know what to do.

Do this, this weekend.

Even if you don't have kids. Do this, this weekend.

Say, my kid, if my kid comes home. And says, they're born in the wrong body.

Can you give me the strongest, unbiased opinions on both sides?

And can you give me the argument both ways, unbiased, strongest. No straw man arguments.

That would show that my kid might kill themselves.

Can you produce credible data, that shows that that is not something that they just made up.

But that they might actually kill themselves. Because here's what the data tells. It will show it all. All of it. Okay?

Run all the data. Get all the data. Then show me the footnotes. Then read it. Ask for it to debate both sides of that. Read that. Ask your strongest questions. Ask it for the best arguments. From the smartest and strongest advocates on both sides.

It will give it to you without bias, if you ask, without bias. And then just keep asking questions.

But here's a really important thing. That shouldn't make up your mind for you.

Don't ever use this. And say, you know, what do I say?

Because it will give it to you. And it may not be the right thing to do.

You have to ask it for deep information, and research and footnotes, so you know it's not just making it up!

The problem with AI is, it cannot memorize every data point, on the entire -- man's -- all of man's knowledge. It cannot memorize it all.

It can search it. And it's really good at remembering the beginning of something. And the end of something.

And then, it will hallucinate at times. Because it will say, well, here's the beginning. Here's the end.

This will probably happen. Okay?

So you have to say, show me the work! Show me the footnotes.

Show me the sources. So you can go back and look it up yourself, to make sure. This is why, if you don't do these things. And these are a lot of the things, that a lot of your friends and coworkers and everything else. These are the things that they will never do.

They will see AI and say, I can write my report. Instead of taking all weekend, I can write it in five minutes. And I'm off to the golf course, and I don't have to work. Here's what I'm going to do. I will do all my work. I will have AI do it for me, and I will just kick back and collect money. Worst thing you can do.

It's a tool, to help you have the best information possible. Think of this as having a team of 20 people!

And you're the boss! Okay.

Ask it -- ask it, what's the most efficient way to streamline my workday? What am I missing at work, that would change everything for me?

How can I improve my skills in insert whatever field or question you want.

What's the future look like for my job!

If -- if I want my job, to continue in three to five years, and you just show me, my future is not bright. What do I do right now, that would help improve my chances of my job remaining?

I like this one. Because I know somebody who says, you have to learn something new, every single day.

And that's kind of -- that's hard. That's hard.

You get home by the end of the day. Oh, jeez.

I have to learn something. Before I go to bed. I have to learn something new. And I don't do it.

I don't do it. I mean, I do it. But it's not intentional. Go on Grok three, this weekend, and say, I want to learn something new, every day.

I want to learn something and grow in knowledge and wisdom and ethics, on this subject.

Can you create an unbiased curriculum, that gives me the truth with the sources. Both sides if it needs to be, and present a five-minute lesson to me, every day?

Uh-huh. And you'll have a month of them, in about ten seconds. And it will blow your mind!

Now, you can just let that sit there.

Or you can actually apply it. And then you become stronger.

Again, it -- this is just the start of these things!

We're going to see, coming very, very soon, systems that will incident great with your life seamlessly.

It will predict your needs before you even voice them.

It will automate all your tasks, that you didn't even know were draining you.

But the power comes from you.

Really important.

The power comes from you. It takes the drudgery and the grunt work out of hours of research. Or data crumbling.

Or repetitive tasks. And it leaves you then free to think and to lead.

That's you!

If you use it right!

And it will change everything for the better for a while.

You'll have more time. More insight. More time for your path. The minute you go off that trail. You will find yourself in trouble.

You will be a small business that competes with corporations. You can be a student that will rival a professor.

Later, we'll see the downsides. The jobs vanishing, the dependence growing. Maybe much, much worse.

I've warned you about that stuff for years. It's not a smartphone. It's not social media.

We've stumbled blindly into that. You can be an early adaptor this time. Which I really, really urge you to do.

Because you will help define the ethics and the boundaries of this.

If you don't, it will all go to, have you seen on Hinge? And it can talk sexy to me. And we're screwed.

If you let others. I mean, we've seen the experts from the government and science.

Oh, yeah. Their advice always works out. I mean, what mistake has happened by having us just say, scientists and the best minds of the world say this.

Anyway, it's here, and we're at the crossroads.

Use AI to amplify your mind, not replace it. Lead with it. Don't follow! In 18 months, the world is going to see, what you will grasp today.

Act now, or you're going to be playing catchup, and you will not catch up. When transhumanism and that line comes, you will know where you stand. Human, flawed. Perfect as you are. Or I will join the bourg.

I hope we're all going to be strong enough to say, eh. No bourg for me.

But we're not there yet.

Learn how to master it. And begin this weekend!

Has THIS Islamist organization BROKEN state laws for YEARS?!

A new report accuses CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of breaking state laws with its political activism. Glenn Beck reviews this story...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So let me go over what is -- what's happening with -- with CAIR.

You know, the Founding Fathers were obsessed over accountability.

Because they knew one thing. You know, they did. They must get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets. They studied every single system of government.

Every single republic that survived. That didn't survive.

Why didn't it survive?

They studied all forms of government. They were trying to come up with something that could -- could set people free.

And they -- they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place, because they knew, once power slips into the shadows. They knew, once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored from law, what rises is not a republic.

It's a machine. And that's what you're seeing right now. We're not living in a republic. We're living in a machine.

We -- I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever! Okay.

There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups. One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.

And they have concluded now that the political arm of CAIR, he known as CAIR action, has been operating nationwide with no legal authority, to do the things it has been doing for years now.

They're not allowed to raise money. They've been raising money. Coordinating political campaigns.

Not allowed to do it. Endorsing candidates. Not allowed to do it, they're doing it. Mobilizing voters, shaping policy, functioning as a national advocacy network.

They don't have the legal authority to do any of it. And no one has said anything.

Now, according to the report, CAIR action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.

Investigators found, state by state, that it lacks the license, the registrations. The charitable authorizations, required to legally solicit money.

Excuse me. Or conduct political activity, in any of the 22 states in which it operates. Think of that!

I know how serious this is, because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state, for Mercury One.

So we could operate. We could raise money. We could do things in those states. It's a lot of work. And if you don't do it, you go to jail. And they find out pretty quickly.

Okay?

22 states, they operate not one, zero legal authorization.

In Washington, DC, the city where CAIR action is incorporated, the department of licensing and consumer protection told investigators, they have no record of CAIR action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.

Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.

How long would you remain in business, if you never had a business license?

You think somebody would figure that out?

In a sooner time than I don't know. A couple of decades!

This report means, that the organization if true, is engaging in unlicensed inner state solicitation.

It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation. Wire fraud and false statements to the IRS. These are big things.

And this is not political rhetoric.

Are these phrases written in black and white. In the law.

And by investigators. In California, one of CAIR's most active hubs. The state attorney general has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here!

The state of California, to say, yep. That's what's happening here.

CAIR action has never registered with California's charitable registry.

Never filed the required CT1 form. And has no authorization whatsoever to request donations. But they've been doing it in California anyway.

Fundraising, selling memberships. Issuing endorsements. Mobilizing voters. All of that has been done by CAIR action. There's no record of any license. Any permission, ever. Going to CAIR. From California. That's according to their attorney general.

Wow!

That's pretty remarkable, huh? How does that happen?

It's not just the coast. It is also happening to the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West. Every state hosting its own CAIR action fundraising page, complete with the donate now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate. That's bad!

Now, here's where the stakes rise.

Because CAIR action presents itself openly, as the political arm of CAIR National.

Investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity.

Could become CAIR's national responsibility as well.

So, in other words, the parent, CAIR itself, might be held responsible.

Meaning, this is want just a rogue subdivision.

This could implicate the entire National Organization of CAIR.

Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny. It's also Texas.

And I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations. I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.

How long have we been saying this?

But every time, I have pointed out anything about CAIR, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down. That is a word, developed by people like CAIR, to shut people down, so you'll never look into them.

So what happens next?

First of all, the reports have to hold up.

Regulators now have an obligation. Not a choice. An obligation to act!

State attorneys general in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.

All of them need to take action!

The IRS, needs to take action. Investigate tax exempt fraud. Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations.

Anything coming from overseas.

Oh, I can't imagine it. They're so buttoned up, right now.

DC regulators may determine whether CAIR actions entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.

But here's the deeper question. And it's not bureaucratic. This one is constitutional.

Can the United States tolerate an influence machine, that operates outside of the legal framework, designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?

If I hear one more time, talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated. Fine. Investigate.

I'm not against it.

Investigate.

Why aren't you saying anything about CAIR?

It feels like it might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.

Why aren't you saying anything about this?

Because here it is! It's not like, hey. I wonder why.

This is it! This is it! This isn't about silencing CAIR. Muslim Americans are -- that are full citizens, they have every right to speak. Every right to vote. Every right to organize. Participate in public life. No question! They can disagree with me, all they want.

But no organization. None! Not mine. Not yours. Not theirs. None. Should operate a nationwide political network, in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow!

That's called a fourth branch of government!

That's how a fourth branch goes.

By the way, CAIR has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security. Et cetera, et cetera. This organization has done it!

This is -- you cannot have a fourth branch of government.

They must abide by the laws.

No -- you can't have a branch that nobody elected. Nobody oversees.

Nobody holds accountable.

We talked about this yesterday, on yesterday's podcast. So what needs to happen is total transparency. CAIR action has to release its filings. Its donor structure. Its compliance records, if they exist. Equal enforcement under the law. I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.

Look, if AIPAC is doing the same thing. AIPAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
I want it equal. I want constitutional rule.

If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental, Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does CAIR action.

And if CAIR action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists, and pro-Israel and conservative groups. The law cannot be selective. It can't be!

I don't know how that's controversial in today's world. But somehow or another, they will find a way.

The Feds have to review all of this. If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.

Americans deserve to know what exactly, who is influencing our elections. Who is shaping our policy? Who is raising money in their state?

Especially physical the organization claims political authority, that it doesn't legally possess.

Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson. When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum!

Unregulated, political power abhors a free people. So while it's about CAIR, it's not about Muslim Americans. It's not about religion.

As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.

One standard for everyone or no standard at all!

And that more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

Glenn Beck WARNS Democrats Will Return with VENGEANCE in 2026 | Glenn TV | Ep 473

America is entering a year of historic upheaval from Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the spiritual shock that followed, to Trump’s tariff revolution, China’s rare-earth war, collapsing energy grids, AI displacement, and the looming fights over Taiwan and Venezuela. Glenn sits down with BlazeTV hosts ‪@deaceshow‬ and ‪@lizwheeler‬ along with his head researcher Jason Buttrill, to break down the biggest stories of 2025. Plus, they each give their most explosive prediction for 2026 that could shape our politics, economy, national security, and civil rights in ways Americans have never experienced before.

Trump Just SHATTERED the “Expert Class” - And the Deep State is in Total Panic

For nearly a century, Washington DC has been ruled by an unelected “expert class” operating as an unconstitutional fourth branch of government — accountable to no one, removable by no president, and shielded from all consequences. Glenn breaks down why Trump’s firing of the Federal Trade Commissioner could finally dismantle the 1935 precedent that empowered technocrats, how Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed the Supreme Court’s embrace of expert rule, and why America cannot survive a government run by people who never face the voters and never pay for their failures.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So President Donald Trump fired the federal trade commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Federal Trade Commission is an administrative position. I mean, this is under -- the head of the federal trade commission is a cabinet member.

And if the justices uphold Trump's firing of Slaughter, that will overturn a precedent that was horrible, that was set in 1935. Remember, 1935, we're flirting with fascism. You know, everybody thinks. Because they haven't seen the horrors of fascism yet.

Everybody thinks fascism is neat, blah, blah. So what they do is they say that this is an independent person. And the president can't fire them. Because they're, you know, an independent agency.

Well, wait. That would make a fourth branch of government. Our Constitution is really clear.

There is no such thing as a fourth branch of government. Right?

So that's what they're deciding. Now, here is Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is talking about how we really need to listen to the experts. Cut four.

VOICE: Because presidents have accepted that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency. That it is in the best interest of the American people to have certain kinds of issues, handled by experts. Who, and I think you -- in your colloquy, Justice Kagan, have identified the fact that these boards are not only experts, but they're also nonpartisan. So the -- the seats are actually distributed in such a way, that we are presumably eliminating political influence because we're trying to get to science and data and actual facts, related to how these decisions are made.

And so the real risk, I think, of allowing non- -- of allowing these kinds of decisions to be made by the president, of saying, everybody can just be removed when I come in, is that we will get away from those very important policy considerations.

VOICE: We will get away from US policy considerations, and it will create opportunities for all kinds of problems that Congress and prior presidents wanted to avoid, risks that flow inevitably, just given human nature, the realities of the world that we live in.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, remember, what she's saying here is, we have to have experts.

We have to have experts. We have to have experts that don't really answer to anybody. Okay?

They're appointed. And then they're just there. This from a, quote, judicial expert, who cannot define a woman, because she's not a doctor.
She's not a scientist.

She needs an expert to define a woman.
That's how insane her thinking is. Okay?

Now, I would just like to ask the Supreme Court, when you want things run by experts, do you mean things like the State Department, or the counsel of foreign relations, that have gotten us into these endless war wars for 100 years?

Because these are the things that Woodrow Wilson wanted. He wanted the country run by experts.

Okay. So is it like the Council of Foreign Relations, that keep getting us into these endless wars.

Or is it more like the Fed, that directs our fiscal policy, that has driven us into $38 trillion of at the time. We have all powerful banks. That strangely all belong to the fed. And endless bailouts for those banks. Are those the experts that you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the experts that are doctors, that gave the country sterilizations, lobotomies, transgender surgeries. You know, or should we listen to the experts, like the ones that are now speaking in Illinois, to get us death on demand like Canada has, with their MAID assisted suicide, which is now the third largest killer in Canada. MAID, assisted suicide, third largest killer in Canada. Experts are saying, we now need it here, and they're pushing for it in Illinois. Or should we listen to the experts? And I think many of them are the same experts strangely, that brought us COVID. Yeah. That was an expert thing. They were trying to protect us. Because they need to do this for our protection. So direct from the labs in China with the help of the American experts like Fauci. We almost put the world out.

Should we listen to those guys?

Or the experts that brought us masking, and Home Depot is absolutely safe. But Ace Hardware wants to kill grandma. Which are the experts that we want? That we want to make sure that we have in our lives? That they don't answer, or can't be fired by anybody. Because I'm pretty full up on the experts, myself. I don't know.

But you're right. These experts would keep the president in check, and they would keep Congress in check. And you in check!

And the Supreme Court, which would be really great. You know, and you know who else they would keep in check? The people.

So, wow, it seems like we would just be a nation run by experts, and our Constitution would be out the window, because that's a fourth branch!

And if you don't believe me, that, you know, these experts never pay a price. Can you name a single expert?

Give me a name of an expert, that gave us any of the things that I just told you about.

Give me the name. I mean, give me the name of one of them. Give me the name of one of them that went to jail. Give me the name of one expert that has been discredited.

You know, where your name will be mud in this town. Do you know where that came from?

Your name is going to be mud. It's not M-U-D. It's M-U-D-D, that comes from Dr. Samuel Mudd. Okay? He was a docks man. He was an expert. He was that set John Wilkes Booth' broken leg. He made crutches. He let him stay there for a while. He claimed he didn't know him, but he did know him.

In fact, one of the reasons they proved it.

Is because when he pulled the boots off -- when he pulled both of his boots off, right there, in the back, you couldn't have missed it. It said "John Wilkes Booth."

He's like, I have no idea who he was.

Yeah. Well, you knew him in advance. This was a predetermined outpost where he could stay. It's clear you could know him.

The guy was still discredited, we still use his name today. Your name will be mud in this town.

And we think that it's like dirt, mixed with water kind of mud. No, it's M-U-D-D, Dr. Mudd. The expert that was so discredited, went to jail, paid for his part of the assassination of -- of Lincoln.

Give me the name of one of the experts in the last 100 years, that has brought us any of the trials and the tribulations. The things that have almost brought us to our knees. Give me the name of one of them. Can't!

Because once an expert class, they don't answer to anyone. So they never go to jail.

Wow! Doesn't that sound familiar. People never going to jail!

There's a rant that's going around right now, that I did in 2020. And everybody is like, see. He's talking about Pam Bondi.

No, no. I got to play this for you, a little later on in the program. But I want to get to the experts and what the Constitution actually says about that. Because you don't need my opinion. What you need are the actual facts. So you can stand up and say, yeah. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson is an idiot. Okay?

And she's really not an expert on anything. Especially the Constitution. You need the facts, on what the Founders said. Because the Founders would be absolutely against what they did in 1935.

Because that just -- what does it do?

It just sets up a fourth branch of government.

EXPLAINED: Why the Warner-Netflix/Paramount Merger is DANGEROUS for All of Us

The biggest media merger in modern history is unfolding, and Glenn Beck warns it’s the most dangerous consolidation of power America has faced in decades. With six corporations already controlling 90% of the nation’s news and entertainment, a Warner-Netflix or Warner-Paramount megacorporation would create an unstoppable information cartel. Glenn exposes how “too big to fail” thinking is repeating itself, how global elites and “experts” are tightening their grip, and why handing our entire cultural narrative to a handful of companies is a direct threat to freedom. The hour is late — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Transcript

GLENN: By the way, it's never good when you consolidate power. It's never good.

And what is going on now, with this Netflix Warner Brothers paramount stuff, I don't care if Larry Ellison is a conservative or not.

No one should have that much power.

I did a show, gosh, four years ago. I don't even remember when I did it.

We looked it up. In the 1980s. 19 percent of American media was owned by over 50 companies.

Forty years later, 90 percent of the media is watched and controlled by six companies.

National Amusements, the Red Stone Family controls CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, gaming and internet. Simon & Schuster Books. That's all one.

Disney, ABC, ESPN, History Channel, Marvel, Star Wars, video games and print.

TimeWarner controls CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, and print media like TIME. Comcast, MSNBC, NBC.

CNBC, Telemundo, the Internet.

New Corp. Fox. National Geographic. Ton of others. Sony, with a ton of movies, music and more. The big six. They're valued at nearly $500 billion.

Now, this is something I put together five years ago. So I don't even know. This is probably not even valid even today.

And now we're talking about Netflix, Warner Brothers. Paramount, into all of these one giant corporation. It's wrong! It's wrong!

We can't keep putting all -- everything into the hands of just a few! It's what's killing us!

We've got to spread this around. We can't -- the government cannot okay mergers like this.

They're big enough he has

What happened -- what happened when the banks went under, or almost went under in '08. What did they say the problem was?

They said the banks are too big to fail.

Too big to fail.

Because they were providing all of the services, everybody needs. All the time. And there's only a handful of them.

So if they fall, then everything falls.

Right?

That was the problem. So what did we do to fix it?

We made them bigger!

We let them merge with other banks, and gobble up other things!

And started taking on the local banks.

And so now, your banks that were too big to fail. Are now even bigger. And their failure would be even worse!

What is wrong with us?

Seriously, we're not this stupid.

We're not this stupid.

I think we're just this comfortable.

We just think the experts have a plan. No. The experts don't have a plan.

Their plan is stupid. Their plan is to make it bigger.

Every time it fails. Make it bigger. Push it up.

Make it more global.

No. Haven't you seen what the entire world is like?

The entire world is over-leveraged. The entire world is on the edge.

The entire world is being redesigned.
So what do we do? We don't allow them to make things bigger! We need to start taking more individual and local control of things. They're making it bigger. Which will make the problem bigger. And make the problem so big, you won't be able to do anything about it, because all the experts. All of the heads. They'll all -- there will be six of them. And they will all be sitting in one room.

And they will all be making the instigations. And with them, making those decisions will be all the heads of all the countries around the world, that you're not going to have a say in any of that. They're already trying to do it with the WEF.

But if -- if the Supreme Court says, no, experts matter. And the president can't fire them. You will not have any control over anything!

We're at this place, where we can back out. We can turn around.

We can do it.

It's not too late. But the hour is growing very late.

I don't know about you, I don't like being this.

Up to the edge, you know what I mean?

I would rather have lots of breathing room, between me and the edge of the cliff.

But we don't have that anymore.

Everything has to be done right.

And we have to pay attention.

And the worst thing we can do is make things bigger.

Dream big, think small.
