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.

Will Trump’s Release of MLK & JFK Files Reveal the DARK TRUTH

President Trump has ordered officials to start the process of releasing the JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr. files. But the family of MLK has requested the opportunity to review the files before their release. What dark secrets may be hidden in them? Glenn and Stu review the rumors that the files may contain proof that MLK had affairs with 40 different women, among other heinous acts. But would this destroy his legacy and message of unity? Glenn and Stu also review JFK’s grandson’s response to Trump’s plan and why Glenn believes the truth MUST come out.

GLENN: Big weekend this weekend. All right, we will talk about -- let's talk about what's happening in Washington, DC. The Martin Luther King family has reacted to Trump's executive order. And as has the JFK family.

They both say, this is a political stunt. I don't know how it's a political stunt. It was supposed to come out in 2027.

No. It was supposed to come out, when?

In the teens. Twenty teens? And then it kept getting delayed. Delayed. Then Donald Trump delayed it last term. Joe Biden, I -- he might have thought he was JFK for a while.

I'm not really sure.

Or Martin Luther King. And then it's come up again.

And people are tired of secrets.

And so Donald Trump said he would start releasing some of the secrets, that should be released.

And a few of those are the RFK files.

The JFK files.

And the MLK files. So hmm. What do they say?

Well, the Martin Luther King family, they would like to see everything first.

I don't know if you get that privilege. But okay.

Why?

Oh. Do you happen to remember what was said about these files last time.

Last time, they were about to come out.

The guy who is the Martin Luther King authorized biographer, has come out and said, really bad things are in this file.

We all know that he was a philanderer.

And I have to tell you, as I get older, I have more to do for people who did amazing things.

Because I don't -- perfect people aren't the ones that usually stand up and say, I'm going to risk my life for that cause.

Perfect people are usually the ones that are like, no, I've got way too much to lose here.

Martin Luther King was not the first guy that was approached to lead this movement. Just like Rosa Parks wasn't the first one approached on the bus. The first one was too flawed.

She was a teenager that was pregnant, and they didn't think she would garner enough sympathy. The other pastors that were approached to lead this movement all said, no, I've got way too much to lose.

No. They knew what it meant! Martin Luther King was the first one that stood up. And I think the same could be said about Donald Trump. He's not a perfect guy. But he's the first one that would say, yeah. I'll risk my life for it.

I'll do it. I'll stand.

I mean, who else gets up from an assassination, and looks at the crowd, and says, fight!

That's pretty amazing.

So they're not perfect people.

But Martin Luther King, you know, we know he was unfaithful, but apparently what is in this file, is really not good.

STU: Yeah. That's one way to state it. Uh-huh.

GLENN: First, it looks like there's an FBI letter that was trying to blackmail Martin Luther King. So something bad on the government. Trying to blackmail him. Saying, basically kill yourself or this is coming out.

But then there is information on intimate relationships with at least three women. One in Atlanta. One in Mount Vernon. One in New York. One in Washington, DC.

Another memo refers to a recording where King looked at -- this is according to his biographer, where King quoting looking on and laughed as the pastor of Baltimore's Cornerstone Baptist church allegedly raped a woman in the Willard Hotel.

Now, that pastor died in 1991. So there's no way to verify the FBI's information. It's not clear whether the agents involved were transcribing the true reality of his private life, or creating gossip. We don't know. But --

STU: They did, obviously, try to hurt him. And his reputation. That's kind of known. And it's been known for a long time. The question is, is this stuff true? As you point out, the guy who came out with this information in 2019, I think it was, is a very reputable guy. Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer. Right?

GLENN: Again, and authorized by the King family. So this is the guy the King family has said is credible.

STU: And it's hard to believe this lands in any other place than them saying, well, the government did this. And, you know, they will deny it, I think.

GLENN: Well, and does a tape exist? The letter is 500 words. Claims to be from an African-American who supported the civil rights movement.

It was, however, written by the FBI. It accuses King of immoral conduct lower than that of a beast. I'm quoting. And a giant liability to all of us Negroes. Quoting.

STU: Yeah. You didn't have to tell that was a quote.

GLENN: Well, I wanted to make sure.

STU: Unless I don't know something about your background. I don't know.

GLENN: It encourages King to listen to an endorsed -- an enclosed tape, so we don't know if the tape exists.

The writer tells King, it's all there on the record. Your sexual orgies. Listen to yourself, you filthy abnormal animal. You are on record. You have been on record, all of your adulteress acts. Sexual orgies, extending far into the past. But this someone, but a tiny sample. You have 34 days in which to do, dot, dot, dot. There is only one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy, fraudulent self is bared before the nation.

I mean, it's not going to make the FBI look good. And it may not make Martin Luther King look good.

STU: The other one you mentioned too, was affairs, which are well-known.

The buyer first says, it's been well-known for 35 to 40 years, that there have been multiple other girlfriends.

I always thought that there were probably ten or 12 over the course of four to five years. This new material makes clear that the total is more like 40 to 45.

GLENN: Wow.

STU: I mean, that's getting a lot of work there. You're a busy bee. Forty to 45, plus the civil rights thing. That's a busy schedule.

GLENN: When do you have time to eat?

STU: Right!

GLENN: The 32-year-old grandson of JFK made an announcement yesterday about JFK's assassination file being opened.

He said, that this is nothing more than a grand scheme. Let's see here.

STU: Grand scheme?

GLENN: Yeah. He said, there is no grand scheme to kill the president. Or, JFK.

And this scheme is just being a political prop, using John F. Kennedy as a political prop for Trump.

STU: How? Why?

GLENN: I don't know. I have no idea.

STU: It's hard to even understand the -- look, why would you not want to know this? What year is this? It's 2025. This happened a long time ago. It's about time we know what actually went on there.

And, look, there will be, I'm sure, some bad things. Some things that probably look for these guys. And some that look bad.

GLENN: Who cares?

STU: They're historical figures.

GLENN: We just want the true history. That's all I want. That's all I want.

STU: We already did a movie about it. It's time to find out what's going on.

GLENN: Yeah. And if you want the country to survive, we have to transparent. I want to know all the things. Even if everybody was pardoned. I want to know who was involved in the January 6th thing. I want to know all the facts.

STU: True.

GLENN: Even if we can't put everybody in jail, I want to know all the facts on -- on the Russia, Russia, Russia thing. On the Joe Biden, you know -- we have to expose these things.

STU: I want to know who hid and how they hid Joe Biden's mental time line from the American people.

GLENN: Big time.

STU: I want to know that. I want an investigation on that.

GLENN: Those people -- those people should go to jail, because I don't think they've been pardoned.

STU: That's true. Exactly.

It needs to be investigated. We need to know how far that went. This is one of the reasons, it feels like to me, hearing you over the years, that you put together the museum.

To unearth things like this. Good or bad, either way, the American people deserve to know the truth.

GLENN: Hello! You have to know the truth, and especially the dark sides of ourselves.
Otherwise, there's bitter and sweet. I mean, I will talk to you a little bit about AI, and AI is offering us a perfect world. Okay?

That's what this is going to be, a perfect life.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: The Garden of Eden. It already existed. Okay?

And we gave it up, for knowledge. Of good and evil.

There is oppose to everything. Good, evil, pleasure, pain. All of that.

And you have to have both sides.

Otherwise, you don't know really what you have.

So right now, Americans haven't seen a lot of pain in our lives. I mean, whatever you're going through, might seem like a lot of pain. But as a country, nothing like the Great Depression.

Nothing like World War II. We haven't experienced that. So we don't really appreciate what we have.

We have to know both sides. And, you know, when it comes to Martin Luther King, that's a holiday.

We took away the Abraham Lincoln holiday. And the George Washington holiday. To make it, a combined holiday for presidents, which presidents?

And then gave Martin Luther King his holiday.

Okay. Was that right? Was that a mistake?

I don't know. Let's just know who we're holding up here. And that doesn't mean that his ideas of America live up to your promises as important. It's probably more important now than ever before. Because the people who have been oppressed in the past, are being convinced that you're still oppressed, and now the only way to not be oppressed is to take Martin Luther King's message, and flip it upside, on its head.

And say, you've got to be a racist to be an antiracist. The only way to fix racism is to engage in racism. These are important conversations for us to have.

And I for one, applaud the president for doing this. And I think we should get all of it. Absolutely all of it. And I hope it doesn't stop here.

The REAL Reason Trump Wants Greenland and the Panama Canal | Glenn TV | Ep 407

Glenn Beck debunks the hysterical claims that President Trump wants to conduct military invasions because of his interests in Greenland and the Panama Canal. His critics ignore the big picture. This isn’t some imperialistic power play — it is strategic maneuvering to counter Chinese and Russian ambitions. The U.S. has a long history of planting a flag in Greenland to combat threats from Nazis and the Soviet Union. Greenland also has some of the world’s largest untapped deposits of rare earth minerals, including graphite, copper, and lithium, that are essential for making all kinds of tech, vehicles, and planes. Glenn argues that it’s in our national security interest to collapse China’s stranglehold on mining and refining the world’s rare earth minerals. Trump’s critics also forget the history of the Panama Canal. Ronald Reagan reminded us in 1976: “We bought it. We paid for it.” So why shouldn’t we keep it? The U.S. is still the number one customer of the Canal, but China is number two. President Trump knows the canal is a chokepoint for our economy and fired a warning shot at China in his inaugural address. At the end of the day, the two places are high stakes real estate deals, and who better to negotiate those deals than our new 47th president?

How to Expose WOLVES in the Second Trump Era | Glenn Beck at TPUSA’s AmFest 2024

Donald Trump has returned as the 47th President of the United States of America. But the fight to make America free again has just begun. Speaking at Turning Point USA’s 2024 AmericaFest, Glenn Beck highlights a million ways the country could tear itself apart and the ONE way it can stay together. Glenn heads to the chalkboard to explain how to figure out who’s really on Team Truth and who’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Plus, he breaks out plenty of historical artifacts that help tell the story: Darth Vader’s helmet, a cup from the Mayflower, a “Batman Begins” cowl, the Holy Grail from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” and more …

Illegal Immigrants FLEE America as Trump Deportations Begin

President Trump’s mass deportation operation has begun and reports are already coming out that illegal immigrants are voluntarily deporting themselves! But the legacy media is in full panic mode, insisting that Americans should shed tears as Trump and the military rip children from their mothers. But is that actually what he’ll do? Glenn and Stu review what Trump’s real plan is. Plus, Glenn has a message for “sanctuary cities” like Chicago: “You’re only getting more people deported quicker.”

GLENN: Oh, boy. Stu, Al Sharpton is very upset. Very upset today.

STU: Oh, no.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He is very upset that companies are dropping the enforcement of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. He said, why did we have DEI? We have DEI because you have denied us diversity. You denied us equity. You denied us inclusion.

If you want to put us in the back of the bus, we're going to do the Dr. King/Rosa Parks on you. I don't know if that's a new dance move or what.

STU: It's a TikTok dance.

GLENN: It's a TikTok dance. But, you know what, I really don't fear Al Sharpton.

STU: No?

GLENN: You know, used to be a fear of Al Sharpton with some. And no.

I don't think -- you watch how insignificant that is going to be.

Americans have heard it all. They've done it all.

They're not afraid of it anymore. Oh, my gosh. They're marching in front of us. Calling us racist.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, let's give them a little something to make them go away. They don't go away. Okay?

They don't go away!

You hire, and you take activists, bringing them into your company. Or you play ball with those activists.

Revolutionaries. That's all you're going to have left in the end. So congratulations with that. Saw that. It doesn't work.

No interest. It's not going to make a difference.

STU: It's a mindset change. You know.

GLENN: It is. It is.

STU: I remember the first time we got protested by one of these organizations.

And it was like, gosh, what's happening.

Wait a minute.

I didn't understand it. We came from a -- we started a local radio show, that wound up going national.

When you get to that level. These things start happening. And then like, I don't know. A few times after it occurs.

GLENN: You roll your eyes.

STU: You roll your eyes. When I go on Twitter. And you see something negative about you or whatever.

You just don't -- generally speaking, you just don't care.

It comes and goes. You just get to that point, none of it makes any difference to you. It becomes a superpower.

Because you just don't care about any of it.

GLENN: And especially now, nobody cares about it. Nobody cares about it. You know, do you mind being called -- now people are wearing that as a badge of honor.

Oh, Al Sharpton. Yeah. He came after me because I believed in actual diversity. Because I believed in actual racism. Was bad. I believed in that idea, and the best way to fight it, is to forget about color. And to just look for merit.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm scared. It's not going to change anything.

Let me give you a couple of other things that Donald Trump -- in fact, I could go a full hour of the stuff just remaining in the last two hours, of the things he's done in the last 24.

President Donald Trump declared the global corporate minimum tax. Did you know we had one?

Yeah.

The Biden administration signed us up for this one.

A global minimal tax.

So, in other words, companies we promised. We promised the whole world, we're never going to have a tax rate lower than 15 percent.

The global minimum tax. Because that would be unfair. And Donald Trump said, yeah, screw you. We're not doing that. And let everyone know, that uh-uh. No. We're not going to do that.

Now, that doesn't mean we will have a tax lower than 15 percent.

STU: Let's do it! Let's embrace it.

GLENN: I would love it.

STU: I will say, when it comes to economic competition. I want to be unfair. I want to be the country, where everyone else is like, gosh, I've got to get there.

How do we get involved with them? That's exactly who I want to be. Not to mention, it really benefits the people here in the United States, more than all.

GLENN: Yeah. Now, not everybody agreed to it.

Because after Biden agreed to it, the pillar one talks. That should really scare you.

This is pillar one. The pillar one talks stalled. Because we just kind of lost interest, I guess.

Countries, Italy, France, UK. Turkey.

Weren't really excited about reinstating their digital taxes. And now with Donald Trump in, there's no way they will do it.

So congratulations to the rest of the world. We have helped set you free, again!

Now, Rand Paul has introduced some legislation to repeal Corporate Transparency Act.

This is so important. The CTA. Corporate Transparency Act.

We talked about this. This is -- this will protect small businesses, and it was signed into law as part of fiscal year 2021, the National Defense Authorization Act. What does this have to do with national defense?

It requires individuals with an ownership interest in a limited liability company. An LLC, to disclose all their personal information to the US Treasury Department's financial crimes enforcement network.

And they go after American small business owners. And any failure to comply could result in up to two years, in prison and up to $10,000 per violation.

So they are repealing that, or at least that has been introduced. Because, you know, farmers, restaurants, gyms.

Lawn service companies. All of these people -- what? I have to -- I have to register with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Unit. I don't think so. No.

STU: That's a big one. We talked a lot. That one when it happened.

GLENN: That's a big, big, big one.

STU: Pain. Giant pain at the very least going away, hopefully.

GLENN: Yes. Also, an update on the border. The Southern Border, apparently, witnessed an outflow of persons, that came into the United States over the last four years.

I don't -- I don't know if you heard that.

There was an outflow of persons. Even on inauguration day.

Illegal aliens were voluntarily deporting themselves.

And saying, I --

STU: Yeah. You know, that's -- good! First of all.

That's -- if you're illegally, you should leave. You should leave. And you should leave on your own.

It's interesting.

There's a poll Axios had today.

Which is, the share of Americans who agree with immigration policies, like deporting immigrants, who are in the country illegally.

The number overall, 66 percent. So a popular -- a popular policy.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

STU: But they -- the take from Axios is, they don't agree with the ways to do it.

Right? And so they say, here are their examples of this.

Using active duty military to find undocumented immigrants.

Only let's say 38 percent agree with that.

Deporting immigrants that came to the US illegally as children, 34 percent agree.

Quickly deporting detained immigrants, even if it involves separating families or sending people to countries, other than their country of origin, 34 percent.

Using money allocated to pay for the US military for deportation, 28 percent.

Deporting immigrants who are in the country legally, 11 percent.

Who the hell is talking about deporting people in the country legally?

GLENN: And who is 27 percent or 25 percent for that?

STU: Yeah, it was 11 percent.

Now --

GLENN: Very well. Eleven.

STU: Right. But are any of those -- any of those policies really the policies you're talking about on a day-to-day basis? There are waves of this, right?

It starts with, obviously, criminals. That have committed other crimes. Then you have people who come in contact, with law enforcement for other things that they may have done. If you are busted. Let's say in a -- a raid of a factory.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Those people would get deported now. As opposed to released and they would go to another factory.

Those types of things are the interactions that would lead to a deportation.

Like, they are trying to paint this picture. I heard all sorts of coverage on this, this morning. Like, we're going to have military members, going school to school, to find children, who are illegal immigrants and deport them.

GLENN: It's ridiculous.

STU: That's not what these policies are going to do.

And what more likely, the overwhelming majority of these, quote, unquote, deportations are going to be of the self-deportation variety.

When people start seeing that, hey. I got pulled over for, you know -- because I got in a car accident. Or whatever.

And, you know, the police came over. And they investigated. Found out, somehow, we're illegal immigrants.

You will get deported for something like that. People start seeing that.

They will be like, wait a minute. There's no longer this giant welcome mat. For us to come here illegally.

And that message --

GLENN: Right. It will be too much stress on the family. Too much.

And they will say, what will we do with the children? Take them back home with you. Yeah, what is wrong with you?

STU: You shouldn't just leave them here. What do you do, when you leave a park? You don't just leave them at the park. You take them with you.

GLENN: What do I do with children, when I take them to the park?

STU: You take them home with you.

And that is what a large portion of this, will be people saying. You know, and when we talk about this.

They say, oh, they're coming here to do jobs. And Americans won't do.

When we say those jobs aren't here.

They're not going to come. Right?

When we're not rewarding companies for giving jobs to illegal immigrants. Who are paying them less than the minimum wage.

GLENN: The majority of people are going to self-deport.

Also, the cities that are sanctuary cities are only making it worse. Because if they won't turn over the criminals. When they're released. Or they're in jail.

If they won't do that, then they release them. And our -- ICE needs to go find them.

And if they're hiding with the family and stuff like that or a different family, when we do find them, they'll bust everybody. They'll bust everybody.

So, you know, any sanctuary city that is saying, we're not going to help ICE. You're only helping more people get deported quicker.

And you're not really helping. Now, let me give you this from the Chicago Tribune.

When reports surfaced over the weekend, that mass deportations could potentially begin on the Chicago area on Tuesday.

Martin Ramos informed his boss he was taking time off from work. He stocked up on groceries and decided his kids would skip soccer practice this week.

Ramos, who immigrated from Guadalajara Mexico, without the necessary work permits, spent the first full day of Donald Trump's second presidency hunkered down with his family, trying to avoid being picked up by ICE agents.

An arrest, he knows, would destroy everything that he and his wife have worked for, and force their two boys into an uncertain future.

Force their two boys into an uncertain future. They're staying home from school because they play soccer. And they can't play soccer. We have to do everything possible to keep our children safe.

What will they do, if we get deported?
They will go home, with you!

ICE agents did not show up at the Juliet Factory where Ramos and his wife both work on Tuesday. But fear inflicted upon the employees there was evident.

A coworker told Ramos that only ten out of the typical 40 to 50 coworkers showed up.

In Little Village, one of Chicago's largest Mexican immigrant communities, streets were mostly deserted and quiet. Tamale vendors, a hardy group used to braving all kinds of weather, weren't lined up on the sidewalks.

The hardware store parking lots, where day laborers searched for work, were also largely empty.

So, in other words, they aren't hanging out with a sign that says, we'll work for food. We'll work for anything.

And picked up by construction workers that don't want to pay union workers in Chicago. Is that what I'm hearing from the Chicago Tribune?

The possibility of mass deportations have terrified some of the area's roughly 400,000 undocumented immigrants. Prompting many to skip work.

Keep their kids out of school. And stay hidden until the promised raids end.

They are not going to end. They are not going to end.

Now, Chicago is saying that they're not going to help at all.

That's okay.

That's okay.

Sunday mass at saint Agnes of Bohemia Catholic Church was unusually empty. And the church personally advised a group of street vendors, based on the southwest side to stay home during the week.

Until they will learn how ICE will operate. Out of the thirteen street vendors, only one was out there. Most vendors declined to speak to the Tribune out of fear, they might be identified and targeted.

People are hiding. They call me and ask me what to do. But my hands are tied. I don't think anyone knows what to do. Yeah. Here's what you do.

You tell them to go home!

You tell them that this government is serious about applying the laws, equally. And holding on to those laws.

And you then tell all minorities, in Chicago, you know, I've got to tell you, if your city continues to defy federal law, then your city is going to get funding, cut off from the federal government.

Let the minorities know that they are embraced bit federal government. But due to the city and the state's stance on protection of those who come here illegally and took your jobs and receive things the Democrats would have never given to you, or any other American.

The federal government only has one lever. And that is: To shut off the funding to Chicago.

So recognize who the bad guy here is. It's up to you, Chicago. It's up to you to stand up.

Now, the question is, are you going to stand up with illegals? Are you going to stand up for the absolute vast minority? Are you going to stand up against the minorities in your city, that are Americans?

Because they've been protesting this whole time, saying, wait.

Why are we getting the shaft, and these guys are getting hotel rooms, and free food, and everything else.

You never gave us any of that stuff.

Yeah. Well, it's time for Chicago to wake up. And these states will either be absolutely left behind, or they will wake up.

And that goes for California too. You are going to see that choice on Friday.
