Will AI & Drone Warfare be the Next Atomic Bomb?

The New Jersey drone mystery has gotten Glenn thinking: Is this American military technology that we’re just not admitting we have yet? Either way, with the rise of AI, Glenn predicts that the next war will be breathtaking, unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Just like the atomic bomb changed the world forever, so will the AI, drone, and quantum computing weapons that may be released in the next war. Glenn lays out what he believes it will look like and why it will likely make us say, "Dear God, what have we done?"

GLENN: So I want to -- we asked what's your name again? Yeah. Bob.

Justin Buttrill, our chief researcher. Former military intelligence.

STU: Or Bob.

GLENN: Or Bob. Sometimes called Bob, Jeff, whatever. But I wanted him to stay in.

Because we were talking about quantum computing. And how far that is. Stu, explain what Google just did again.

STU: So they came out with the new chip. They have announced. They have this chip called Willow.

It was able to complete a problem in five minutes, while the same task would have taken today's supercomputers ten septillion years, which is longer than the universe has existed.

GLENN: Okay. Okay.

So, by the way, think of that. That's what that can do in five minutes.

You have a problem, you're dealing with. You're like, you know what, let me sleep on it.

Do you know how long that is, to a quantum computer?

By the time you get back, it's like, who are you again?

STU: Right. It's already evolved.

GLENN: It's so far ahead.

So everything is about to change.

We started to talk about this.

Because of the drones over New Jersey. And New York City.

They're -- we think they may be something -- new technology, that we have. And -- and others may have.

That we have reverse engineered.

That's what has been planted in our heads here for a while.

But war and everything else is -- is going to change.

And this time, it's going to be -- even if it doesn't get to nuclear war.

It's going to be horrifying.

Absolutely horrifying.

Everything that we have.

Aircraft carriers, everything else.

It's done. Done.

Now, let me take you through this.

The British, when we fought in the revolutionary war. They were like, what, these animals.

They're savages. They won't line up, so we can shoot them. Right?

We used you're brains, instead of everybody else's bodies.

And we won. But that changed war.

Then the next war we had, that was really horrifying was the Civil War.

And that was horrifying to Americans. And I know from diaries in the family.

My great, great grandfather, who fought for the union was -- he came back. He was in Andersonville. And he came back, and he was never the same.

And people weren't the same after that. Because of the 600 thousand dead, in our country, at a time when we had how many million?

Three. I mean, the blood was just everywhere.

Then we -- we had other wars. And they -- everybody was pretty much okay.

And then the big one was World War I.

Because we went out on the battlefield. Remember, the Gatling gun was not used in the Civil War. Because everybody thought it would be a waste of ammunition.

Wow!

That would have solved things pretty quickly if one side or the other would have had that.

But we come with a Gatling gun.

And we bring it on the -- you know, on the back of a wagon.

Dragged by a horse.

Okay?

In World War I. That's all mechanized. And no one saw that coming. No one knew what that was going to be like.

People had started to make tanks.

We started to use air warfare. We started to use gas, and science.

All of this stuff was used. And people came back, and literally were shell-shocked for the rest of their life.

They had never seen anything like that.

The quickness of death changed war forever.

Then World War II happens. And we fight it pretty much the same way.

What affected people, for a very long time, was war. They were affected, just like everybody else in every other war.

And every other epic.

However, you were -- you were really set back, if you walked into one of the concentration camps. And you saw how science was being used.

Or you witnessed -- witnessed the explosion of the atomic bomb. You never recovered from that.

And I know this used to be top secret. This is from major Robert A. Louis.

He was on -- was it the Enola Gay, that bombed Hiroshima?

So he was on the Enola Gay, and he was the navigator, I think. And his job was also to make notes of what was happening.

This is his -- this is the original text, from the Enola Gay, in his handwriting.

He says, 0730, we are loaded. The bomb is now alive. It's kind of a funny feeling, knowing it's right in back of you.

Knock wood. We started our climb to 30,000 feet at 0748. Well, folks, it's not long now

At 18,500 feet, I sat on autopilot for the last time, until bomb's away. I checked with the crew at 20,000 feet.

So far, everything is satisfactory.

We've just reached our altitude at 0830. He's saying with a report primary, target is the best target.

Everything is going well. So far, it looks like we're making the bomb run at Hiroshima. Right now, we're 25 millions from the empire. And everyone has a big, hopeful look on his face.

Okay. It won't be very long before it happens, now.

So he says, they will be -- because he's taking minute by minute about what's happening.

And he writes at the bottom of page five. There will be a short intermission while we bomb our target. So they drop the bomb. They have to be up at 35,000 feet.

And they turn the plane, you know, they're trying to beat hell away from it.

But they also need to observe it.

He said, here's a brief blow by blow, description of the bombing run.

We turned off our IP, and had about a four-minute run on a perfectly open target.

Tom scrutinized, on his briefed AP, and let go.

For the next minute, no one knew what to expect.

The bombardier and the right seat jockey, or pilot, both forgot to put on their dark glasses.

And therefore, witnessed the flash, which was terrific. Then in about 15 seconds, after the flash, there were two very distinct slaps on the ship. Then there was physical affect, we felt.

We turned the ship, so we could observe the results. And there in front of our eyes, without a doubt, was the greatest explosion man had ever witnessed. Three exclamation points. The city was nine-tenths covered in smoke of a boiling and large column, a white cloud, in less than three minutes.

It undulated with buildings and fire, as they were blowing up. Then, that undulating cloud, reached 30,000 feet. And then went to at least 50,000 feet.

I am certain the entire crew felt this experience was more than any human had ever thought possible.

It just seems impossible to comprehend.

Just how many in Japan, did we kill?

I honestly have the feeling of groping for words, to explain this.

Or I might explain, my God, what have we done?

So right before they drop it, he says, we have smiles on our face.

Three minutes after they drop it. He says, my God, what have we done?

So this was the next big change in war. But it was really, up until the '80s. It was theory. Nobody had really seen it.

We knew it was going to be bad. We were afraid of it.

But only the people who actually witnessed it, said, dear God, what have we done?

Okay. That changed war.

That changed everything for -- since that day, we have all been saying, let's just not get to nuclear war.

In the '80s, we all learned from that -- that movie, the day after, which was on TV.

And Gorbachev, and Reagan both came together and said, this can never be fought. Because it can never be won.

And we thought we were past it.

Now we're there again.

But that's not what war may look like, this next time.

It may get there, quickly.

But that's not what war -- war this time, is going to take the breath of everyone away. Because it won't be humanized.

It's beyond mechanized. It's computerized.

And so now, it will happen at such a rate of speed, you won't be able to comprehend.

Do you agree with that?

JASON: Oh, completely.

And what's interesting to me, in hearing you read that, I'm actually more interested in his comments before they dropped the bomb. Less so, on afterwards.

Because before, remember, if you watched Oppenheimer, the scientists didn't know what was going to happen. They said, it will either be a big explosion. Or a chain reaction. The entire world will combust. And we're all dead.

So they didn't know. What's about to happen?

Very similar to today! And going along on your theory of, we're getting rid of the old weapons before these new weapons are unveiled.

GLENN: These new AI weapons.

JASON: They don't what an they're about to set off!

What era this unleashes. What's going to happen.

GLENN: Do we happen to have the audio?

We played it a few days ago. Guy from San Francisco told me about buying Bitcoin. Marc Andreessen.

STU: You remembered because of the billion dollars you lost by not listening to him.

GLENN: I think it was 2 billion now that I would have been worth, had I listened to Marc Andreessen with personal advice. And I'm like, eh. What does he know?

Ugh! Anyway --

STU: A lot, apparently.

GLENN: A lot. Yeah, a lot more than me.

We had it a couple of days ago.

Let me take a one minute break.

See if you can find it real quick.

Because this is stunning, what the White House told him.

It's why -- you notice, all of a sudden, Silicon Valley was like, yeah, you know what, I think I prefer Donald Trump. There's a reason. And he's the first to spill the beans on it.

GLENN: It does not make sense. We're just looking up on CNN, talking about these drones. The White House says that they're -- they don't know what it is.

But there's nothing to worry about.

How could you possibly say that?

JASON: That New Jersey rep, I think he's a Democrat. He said, this is unacceptable. That we can't identify them.

Some of them.

But then he follows it right back up, just like you said. With, yeah. But we're not concerned that it's --

GLENN: How would you not know it's a public safety rep?

Unless someone high up told you, hey, don't worry.

GLENN: So weird. So weird.

So let me show you how close we are to absolute insanity. This is Marc Andreessen, on Bari Weiss. Just I think, last week. Talking about a meeting, last fall at the White House, talking about AI. Listen!

VOICE: We have meetings in DC in May, where we talked to them about this. And the meetings were absolutely horrifying. And we came out, basically, deciding we had to endorse Trump.

VOICE: Marc, add just a little color to absolutely horrifying. What did you hear in those meetings?

VOICE: They said, look, AI -- AI is a technology, basically, that the government is going to completely control. This is not going to be a startup thing.

They actually said, flatout, to us. Don't do AI startups. Don't fund AI startups. That's not something we will allow to happen. They will not be allowed to exist. There's no point.

They basically said, AI will be a game of two or three big companies. Working closely with the government.

And we're going to basically wrap them in a -- I'm paraphrasing. We will wrap them in a government cocoon. We will protect them from competition.

We will control them. And we will dictate what they do.

And then I said, well -- I said, I don't understand how you will walk this down so much. The math for AI. Is out there.

It's being taught out there.

They literally said, during the time Cold War. We classified entire areas of physics. And took them out of the research community. And like entire branches of physics basically went dark and didn't succeed.

And that if we decide we need to, we will do the same thing to the math underneath AI.

VOICE: Wow.

VOICE: And I said, I just learned two very important things. Because I wasn't aware of the former. And I wasn't even aware that you were conceiving of doing it to the ladder.

And so they basically just said, yeah, we're going to take total control of the entire thing, and just do.

VOICE: For the listener, what was their argument?

VOICE: Well, it's -- so this gets into this whole like, these debates around AI safety. AI policy.

So there's sort of several dimensions on it, and I'll do my best.

So one is to the extent, this stuff is relevant to the military, which it is. Like, if you draw an analogy between AI and autonomous weapons, being like the new thing that will determine who wins and loses war, then you draw an analogy to the Cold War, that was nuclear power, and that was the atomic bomb.

And the federal government. The federal government didn't let startups go up and build atomic bombs. Right? You had the Manhattan Project. And everything was classified.

And at least according to them, they classified, down to the level of actual mathematics.

And -- and, you know, they technically controlled everything. And, you know, look, that determined a lot of the shape of the world.

Right? So there's that. Then there's the other -- that's part one. Then look, I think part two. There's the social control aspect to it.

Which is where the censorship comes right back. Which is the exact same dynamic we've had with social media censorship. And how it's basically been weaponized, and how the government became entwined with social media censorship, which is one of the real scandals of the last decade.

Like a real problem. A real constitutional problem. Like, that is happening at like hyper speed and AI.

And, you know, these are the same people who have been using social media censorship against their political enemies. These are the people who have been doing de-banking against their political enemies.

They basically, they want to use AI the same way.

And then look, I think the third is, I think this generation of Democrats, the ones in the White House, under Biden, they became very anticapitalist.

And they wanted to go back to a much more of a centralized, controlled, planned economy. And you saw that in many aspects of their policy.

But I think, quite frankly, they think that the idea that the private sector plays an important role is not high up on their priority list. And they think that generally companies are bad, and capitalism is bad. And entrepreneurs are bad. And they've said that a thousand different ways.

And, you know, they demonize entrepreneurs as much as they can.

GLENN: I --

STU: Huh.

GLENN: That's kind of like the Pentagon coming out and saying, oh, by the way, UFOs are real.

Let's move on. I mean, what he just said is -- you know it's true. And the first one is the only one that you go, okay. Well, I kind of see that.

I don't want people making nuclear weapons. But you're not going to -- it will only be very, very, very big companies, because it will be quantum computing, with AI. That will control everything.

So that will only be government level or Google level kind of companies.

That's scary enough. But then when you put on top of that, you put what he said, then there's the social control aspect.

Oh, my gosh.

The world is about to change. And, you know, where I started, the show today was -- you know, we -- we -- we have to know the truth. This is why Dow Jones and everything else is so important.

They need to declassify all of this stuff.

We need to know, what we can trust. What's true. What's not.

Because otherwise, everything runs out of our control, entirely.

And we need to be able to trust and know, are we being manipulated, or not?

And the answer right now is absolutely yes.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

WARNING: The Fusion of AI with Human Beings Will Put Our Souls at Stake

Humanity is racing toward a future where artificial intelligence, brain implants, genetic engineering, and robotics merge into a new post-human species. Glenn Beck and Timothy Alberino warn this “upgrade” may cost us the one thing we can’t replace: our humanity. With AI soon operating inside the brain and artificial wombs being used for reproduction, the world is entering a hybrid age that threatens to erase what it even means to be human. This is not a tech revolution, it’s a civilizational crossroads.

Why Democrats' FAKE OUTRAGE over "The Epstein Files" is About to Backfire on Them

The fight over releasing the Epstein records has exploded into one of the biggest transparency battles in Washington. Republicans say Democrats deliberately blocked the vote to fast-track disclosure, raising questions about what the party is trying to hide — and why the timing matters so much. Glenn Beck breaks down why both sides are terrified of what might be revealed, how Trump’s call to “release everything” changed the political calculus, and why the banking records may hold the real truth behind Epstein’s power.

Transcript

GLENN: Johnson. Can we bring this up, Sara?

Johnson is live. And he's talking about transparency.

VOICE: Concerned as we were about all this. As we've insisted from the very beginning. Republicans are the only party trying to ensure maximum transparency. By the way, I will just tell you, I put the bill on the floor of unanimous consent last Wednesday night. And guess who objected to it? The Democrats.

Okay?

If they were so -- if this was so urgent. And they were so concerned about getting this done, and seeing justice be done and all of that, they would have not blocked the request. Okay?

This is about politics. They -- they blocked our unanimous consent motion to expedite our bill and made us waste all of this additional time.

Republicans are ready to get the job done, to move forward so we can continue to get on these important issues dealing with what the American people demand and deserve for us to deal with.

And so I want to leave you with this thought: Everybody should think long and hard about who is acting truthfully, honestly, and in good faith. It is not in the Democrat Party that has obfuscated and blatantly lied the last four years about all these things. It's not the Democrats who shut down the government and for their own selfish political purposes. It's not the Democrats who blocked the passage of this discharge a week ago because they wanted to have a political moment.

It is the Republicans who are acting in good faith. And I believe the American people are going to see that. And understand that.

I'm going to vote to move this forward.

I think it could be close to a unanimous vote because everybody here, all the Republicans want to go on record to show they're for maximum transparency. But they also want to know, that we're demanding that this stuff get corrected before it's ever -- moves through the process. And is completed.

GLENN: I think that's fascinating.

JUSTIN: I sincerely hope my Democrat colleagues will show the same level of urgency and enthusiasm when it comes to tackling the real issues facing the country that we have to get to.

GLENN: Okay. Top.

Stu, how -- how do the Democrats vote against this?

STU: As far as the -- the bill to expose the Epstein files?

I mean, I don't think they will in the end.

I don't think they will.

GLENN: You think it will be unanimous?

STU: I don't think it will be unanimous.

But I do think that it will pass when -- when it goes through. I -- I do think, it will get a lot of votes too. Because now people are cushioned. Right?

It's easy. No problems, really. Now that Trump has said, release it. There's really nobody opposing it outside of -- they probably want to make sure that they get everybody on record. So they're opposing the unanimous consent vote.

That's my guess, of their strategy there.

But, you know, what a surprise!

JASON: Personally, I think the Democrats walked into a huge trap on this, personally.

I think it's too politically dangerous for them to vote against it.

Although, I do feel like there will be more pushback, than some people could expect on this.

I think a lot of people will flip and vote against it. To me, it's desperation. What they did, last week. Or the past couple of weeks.

Come on! Redacting certain names within these emails. Just blowing past certain journalists that are considered on their side. That were allegedly coaching Epstein.

I mean, being willing to put that out there, is massive desperation.

I think President Trump set a trap for them on this.

I think it was sprung when he flipped. And said, no. We're releasing it. It just feels all too perfect for me.

I think the Democrats are terrified of some of the things that could be coming out of this.

Not to say, that it would be, like, very, very damning. But very, very embarrassing for a lot of them. That's what I'm expecting.

And I'm fully thinking there will be a floodgate of a lot of this stuff. They made a huge miscalculation, in my opinion, on doing that act of desperation.

STU: Why wouldn't Trump then want to -- why wouldn't he want to release these previously?

I mean, seeming, it does seem like when Donald Trump has an opportunity to make Democrats look bad, he's pretty -- he'll take it. He -- he likes that. Why wouldn't he have been in favor of this from the beginning if they actually had stuff on the Democrats?

GLENN: I don't think anything bad on the Democrats is actually there. I mean, really bad.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: I think there's some embarrassing stuff from both sides.

But, you know, mainly for the Democrats. But there's not going to be a smoking gun on Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton or any of the big ones.

This is the way it always happens. The real kingpins always get away. It's just the underlings. And it will be the underlings that aren't real popular. That's what will happen. That are spendable. That maybe they want to get rid of in small districts.

The Democrats want to get rid of. Because the tells me could have cleaned all of this up, during Biden.

Whatever they wanted to do. They could have gotten rid of it.

STU: Glenn, can we talk for a second of how Trump is talking about this?

Because, obviously, we've talked about it as a big priority before the campaign. And now he's president of the United States.

And now he's used the term Epstein hoax. And all of that, several times.

I noticed in the clip we played earlier. That he started to clean that up, a little bit. And he said, the Epstein hoax.

It's a hoax, as it applies to Republicans.

And he started to kind of change his language on that a little bit. Which I find to be interesting.

I think smart. Because the American people don't think this is a nothing story.

They don't think this is a hoax. They don't think that the idea that that Epstein did these terrible things. Is something that is a nothing story to us right now.

But I think the way Trump thinks about it, is he's trying to deal with what's going on right now. And it's like, if we were -- if we unearthed a bunch of text messages from Jeffrey Dahmer to Nancy Pelosi. That would be a big story.

It would be important to find out why Jeffrey Dahmer and Nancy Pelosi were trading text messages. But that being said, it wouldn't be the number one issue of the president of the United States. Because it -- you know, Jeffrey Dahmer is long dead. Right?

Whatever was going on back then. We should know about it, but it's not necessarily as important right now as bringing down prices and making sure our economy doesn't spin out of control.

Or, you know, the Middle East. Or whatever else Trump is dealing with.

So I think Trump sees it. He keeps using hoax. I think to him, he really sees it as a distraction to the things he's actually trying to get accomplished. When at the end of the day, it's an important story.

About the, you know, they're lying about it constantly in the media. And it's just become a distraction from what he really wants to get accomplished. You buy that?

GLENN: I mean, look at what we accomplished over the last week.

Ever since the -- ever since the -- the -- the Democrats voted to open the government again. The very next day, it was Epstein, and we're still talking about Epstein.

And that's why he's changed. That's why he's changed. He knows, that this is just not going to go away. And I think he alluded to it in his statement yesterday, it's still not going to go away. It's never going to be enough. It's never going to be enough.

But let's just release everything. And show you what it is. And, you know, if there is anything there, about the Democrats.

I don't think it will be about Bill Clinton. I think it will be about smaller Democrats.

And Democrats that are passed their prime or out. You know, I just don't think they're going to be -- they're going to be anything that's big in it.

Maybe. But I don't think so. I think where you will find big things. Was yesterday. Or the day before. Was he was going to look into the banking records. He wants to see all of Epstein's transactions. And who was sending money where, et cetera, et cetera.

That's where you're going to start seeing some names. If they go into the banking records.

I mean, look what happened -- what was the bank? Was it J.P. Morning Chase, that was Epstein's bank?

I can't remember. I hate to say that. Because it may not be. Will you look that up real quick?

You know, they went into the banking records, and then, you know, there were lawsuits about that. And then all of a sudden, just kind of went away. I don't even what happened with that. Hmm. What?

You're banking. Huh?

JASON: JPMorgan and Deutsche.

GLENN: Yeah. And I think that's where you're going to find stuff. That's where the bodies will be find. Because the banking records will be the banking records, and you won't get rid of those.

Scott Jennings (CNN's Republican Star) Explains why Trump STILL Terrifies Democrats

CNN contributor Scott Jennings joins Glenn Beck to reveal what’s really happening inside America’s political institutions. Jennings explains why Trump still commands an unbreakable base, how AI and China may define the next Cold War, and why Democrats are pushing the country deeper into ideological chaos.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Scott Jennings. Welcome to the program!
How are you?

SCOTT: Sir, I'm great. It's an honor to be with you. I've been a long time fan and an admirer of yours. To be with you today, it's very special for me.

So thanks for the invitation.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

Well, you are more than welcome.

I have to tell you, I was just about to say, I don't know what your life is like. But I know exactly what your life is like.

Because I worked there. And it was a lonely, lonely place, but you are doing an amazing job. Really, an amazing job!

SCOTT: Well, thank you for saying that. And I have to say, you know, I credit CNN for creating this 10 o'clock debating show, where I most often appear.

And giving conservatives a chance to fight it out. And I think PB is kind of boring, when it's just six people sitting around, congratulating themselves on increasing levels of smugness. I think a little debate and a little common sense injected into some of the conversations and a little reframing of some of these debates is exactly what they need. And I think there's a hunger for that kind of content out there.

I'm glad they're doing it, and it's a privilege to see right now.
GLENN: So are there days, you walk away going, I just can't do it? I mean, there has to be.

SCOTT: Well, I usually have to meet people who say crazy things. I was on not too long ago with a guy, who was a real-life ear truther. He did not believe that Donald Trump had been shot in Butler, Pennsylvania. And he said to me live on the air, "Well, I wasn't there, how am I supposed to know?"

And I thought, "This is who I'm dealing with." And I debate people who if not but for me, contractually obligated to do so, wouldn't know or interact with a single other Republican. I'm the only one they know!

GLENN: I know.

SCOTT: I think if you're interested in popping ideological bubbles like I am and like I know you are, it's a good thing to do. It does make me shake my head. I do think there's value. I mean, I believe in our ideas.

And I think if our ideas get out to more people, more people will gravitate to our cause.

GLENN: I agree. All right.

So let's talk a little bit about the book, Revolution of Common Sense.

You say that your dad was the first one that said, "Donald Trump is going to win."

And this is early on! You laughed it off.

Said that he's not going to win. Is that true?

SCOTT: I did. That's absolutely true. My father was the biggest Clinton Democrat I knew. I come from a family of Democrats. He was a factory worker and a garbage man. And even though, I was a Republican political operative. My father was a Democrat for a long time. In 2015, my dad was telling me, "It's going to be Trump." I, like everybody else, who had been trained in the old ways, was like, you know, come on, Dad. And he turned out to be right. But he was sort of the leading indicator for me about what was going to happen in Middle America.

All these working-class Americans, who live in hollowed out communities. That feel like the political elites that have left them behind.

That was my dad. And he was speaking to my dad. As you know, he was speaking to millions of people. And he defeated the Republican establishment. Then he defeated the democratic establishment.

And it was because of people like my dad who recognized in him, we're trying to hire somebody to smash these guys who had forgotten about us and be crushed us.

And my Dad knew it. It's not the only time in my life, where my Dad was right, and I was wrong. I can tell you that.

GLENN: Yeah. You spent a lot of time with Donald Trump when you were writing this book. Did you know him beforehand?

SCOTT: I did not. I met him, really for the first time in February when I pitched him on the book, and got to observe him in action in the Oval Office.

I flew with him. You know, it's funny. He kind of dominated, you know, every conversation I've had in my professional life for the last 10 years.

But I didn't really know him. But I did spend some time with him in the White House.

I flew to Michigan with him on his 100th day in office. He gave a speech in Michigan, that day. And he said something true to his inaugural address.

He said, whether you're on the left or whether you're on the right. Whether you're in the middle. It's just common sense.

And I think the rebranding of the party as the common sense party has allowed so many more people in.

I think it's one of the most genius, political marketing moves in American history.

GLENN: Yeah. It's amazing. Because he's not -- he's want saying -- he's not necessarily making a case for being conservative or anything else.

It's just, he is fighting for the things that we all used to think, well, yeah. That makes sense.

No. That's a dude. He can't shower with my daughter.

You know, it's that kind of stuff, that should be really uniting.

Why is he -- why do they hate him so much?

SCOTT: Because I think they believe, the left believes, that they had control of all the institutions. Universities. Media. They were either taking control of corporate America.

When you look around at all the institutional strength in our country, the left has been on a long project to co-opt, infiltrate, and paint these things over.

And Donald Trump, and, of course, while doing that. They make you believe things.

You have to accept that you can wake up and change your gender one day. You have to accept, you know, the DEI nonsense.

You have to accept our radical ideology. Or we'll ostracize you from this institution. Or we'll crush you.

Trump shows up, and says, I just won't put up with it. And there were millions of Americans who were dying for someone to try to restore sanity to these I think these conversations, that you rightly say, just used to be common sense.

He said what everyone else was thinking.

But everybody had been made basically too afraid to say. Because of punishment.

Cultural punishment.

Trump was their champion. And he still is today. And that's why he has a base that's never going to leave him.

Because he knows, they know, that he's never going to ever back down to this mob, that is going to try to turn everything upside down, and tell you right is wrong. Left is right, and red is blue. And up is down.

That's what they want. And he will not allow it. And whoever we nominate, next, will not allow it either. Because they will come right back.

GLENN: What do you think his strongest ability is, and the one that maybe is something you're seeing coming on the horizon.

Like, he's got to be paying attention to this. Got to fix this!

SCOTT: Well, I think this artificial intelligence conversation, he has a really strong handle on.

I think he knows, we cannot allow the Chinese to control this conversation.

I think he knows what we have to do on the energy front, to win this conversation.

I think his vision on that.

When we think about legacy. This may be the most consequently policy making he see.

I also think that --

GLENN: I told him, I thought he would be remembered as the AI president.

And he said, nah. I'm not going to be that's not my thing.

GLENN: I asked him a couple -- maybe a month ago. You know, to a consider the AI race to be your space race?

Is this that big?

Is it your Cold War?

And he said, it's all that wrapped up and more!

GLENN: Wow. Good for him.

SCOTT: He's increasingly understanding that the decisions he makes today. The course we set today.

Will determine. So in ten years, 15 years, when we control this. It's the free world, that's on top of the AI situation. And not the communist Chinese, it will be because of Donald Trump. And so I think he's setting all that in motion today. I also think what he's doing in the Middle East, and standing up to the barbarians. I mean, it's amazing to me, the propaganda campaign that went on after October the 7th. And how the west. Western governments and western media sided with the barbarians. If you go there and listen to what happened. And it's been total propaganda. But Trump had total moral clarity on this. He's standing up to the people who would leave this world in darkness, ideologies that are the enemy of human liberty, and he knows it. And he's been totally clear on this.

And so I think too, occasionally someone has to stand up and say, no. Enough is enough.

And he did that. And he it did strategically at the right time. I think it will pay dividends for years to come.

GLENN: Spending the time with him, what did you feel was something that maybe surprised you and something that you think, gosh, if America just understood this one thing, it might change things.

SCOTT: Well, the caricature of him, would lead you to believe that he's not a good listener, or that he's not someone that absorbs a lot of information that informs his opinion. I came away with totally opposite review.

I watched him, listened to people having debates. He asked questions. He kind of lobs in his views.

But he really does absorb I think these debates among his excellent cabinet. And the excellent staff that he has. And then he makes the decision.

What's great about this president. Versus the last one. He's decisive. Once he listens and takes in everything, he makes a decision, and that's what they do. Biden was famously indecisive, which leads to weakness. Which of course leads to the disaster of that administration. But Trump doesn't suffer from that.

That's myth number one. Myth number two.

This man is genuinely funny. He is warm. He is hospitable. You know, talking about my Dad. When we were together once, he had his hat on. His famous red hat. And he said, you want my hat?

And I said, no. But I know someone who does. It was the first man to ever tell me you were going to be president. And he said, "Sounds like a smart guy."

GLENN: Wow. Wow. That's cool.

SCOTT: He took the hat right off his head. So he's actually a warm, nice, funny person. And of course, the caricature of him painted by the media is that he wouldn't believe it. Hey, I lived through this, when I worked for President Bush. They caricatured him. And as adults as well.

Totally not true. They caricatured Dick Cheney. The caricatured Mitt Romney. They take our Republicans, and they turn them into something they're not.

And, of course, that's -- that's the power of the left, when they control cultural institutions.

So I think they've done it to Trump to some degree. Of course, his personality tends to cut through the clutter sometimes.

GLENN: You would be surprised. Next time you see him, it could be a year from now. And he's going to ask you how your Dad was. You watch.

SCOTT: I know. I watched him interact with people in that way. It is an innate political talent. And the good ones have it.

And he has it. He does care about people. I watched him do it. And he's loyal to people too.

GLENN: He does.

What do you think the -- the -- the thing that is happening now, that should be paid attention to, that maybe the media is missing.

What's thing that is most overblown and most underplayed?

SCOTT: Oh, gosh, well, I think the thing we ought to be paying attention to on the left is the energy and radicalism on the left.

You know, the elections the other day.

I said on CNN the other night. I thought this was the beginning of the ending of Chuck Schumer.

It's really the beginning of the end of any semblance of any shred of the possibility of returning to sanity in the democratic party. I mean, look at how they treat John Fetterman for simply occasionally saying something that is basic common sense. Or having a back bone. The energy in the socialist -- radical socialist movement on the left is real! Happened in New York. It happened in Seattle. They elected a mayor out there. Who lives in her parents' basement. That got elected on the power of the socialist agenda. AOC is the leader of this faction. Bernie Sanders is the intellectual godfather of it. And these people will change America. They think the American experiment was rotten at its core. They think it ought to be ripped out root and branch and replaced with something that neither you nor I would recognize as American. They fundamentally hate the system that we have lived with for 250 years in this country.

And I don't think we can understate how much energy they have on the left right now. How much momentum they're feeling.

And so I know we talk about it. And, you know, we've talked about the rise of socialism before. The urgency right now, as we head away from the Trump era. And we get into an open presidential election in '28. We cannot allow our country to be taken over.

So that's -- that's number one. Number two, it's being overblown.

I think the Democrats trying to pin the affordability tail on Donald Trump is the most laughable thing I've ever heard.

They took prices to the moon. Gas was $5. Grocery prices. Health care, craziness. They took prices to the moon. And they want to pin this on Donald Trump. And pin this on Republicans.

Give me a break. And so the media buying into this is totally overblown. But we have to fight back hard, or we will have a rough ride in '26.

The Book of Enoch: Did Extraterrestrial Beings DESCEND in the Days of Noah?!

The Book of Enoch tells a story the Bible only hints at: A story of heavenly beings who descended to Earth, took human wives, created hybrid giants, and unleashed forbidden knowledge that corrupted the world before the Flood. Glenn Beck and researcher Timothy Alberino break down how the ancient Hebrew worldview explains the Watchers, the Nephilim, the origins of demigod myths, and why Peter and Jude referenced Enoch directly in the New Testament. From extraterrestrial terms in Scripture to the cosmic “family of God” and the divine rebellion that reshaped human history, this discussion reveals a forgotten narrative that once defined early Jewish and Christian theology. What really happened in the days of Noah, and why does it matter now?
