GLENN: Speaking of shortages, 29 percent of the top-selling baby formula products are out of stock and have been out of stong by mid-March.

Data Assembly, which tracks baby formula stock at 11,000 retailers. They say this is a shocking number. They don't see it now for other categories. We've been tracking it over time. It's going up dramatically. We see this category is being affected by economic conditions more dramatically than others.

The second largest pharmacy, Walgreens, with over 9,000 locations announced it's now rationing baby formula.

Guys, we haven't even started yet. Rationing baby formula.

And they say, it is because there was a recall in January. But also, vital ingredients we can't get. Packaging, apparently has problems. But the freight costs are through the roof. And labor shortages.

STU: It's incredible.

A friend of mine had a baby boy.

Premie. I think 24 or 25 weeks, early enough that it was almost impossible.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

STU: Twenty years ago wouldn't have been possible.

GLENN: Yeah. Right.

STU: And touch and go for a while. Lived at the hospital for six months, I think. Finally, came home. And they have to feed him this very specific type of formula that's easy for him to digest, I guess. And they were -- they had months of this formula, at their house. And then this recall happened. They had to throw it all out.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

STU: And now they spent half their time driving around Texas, looking to different Walgreens, and CBSs, hoping to find one cannister of this stuff.

GLENN: Imagine how frightening that would be. If your child couldn't be breastfed. That would be adopted babies. Mothers with some sort of a problem. Babies with problems. I mean, that's got to be terrifying.

STU: Terrifying. And he's like, we have about three weeks left. We should be good, hopefully for now. We have an order from Amazon. Hopefully, it comes. They're on the edge of their seats, trying to figure out whether they can feed their kid or not.

GLENN: Does this get worse, guys?

STU: I think you're right. We're at the beginning.

GLENN: We're at the beginning.

Listen. Take care of it. Do all that you can do. This is so important. Do all that you can do. Don't wait. Get food storage. Buy two of everything when you only need one. And store one. However you want to do it. But do all that you can do. And then trust. Trust that God is good and gracious. And that whatever it is, if you don't have enough, you know, it -- that's why you need a network. That's why you need to rely on -- on others. You're not going to be -- you're not going to starve to death. Not in the America I know. So do all that you know. Please do all you can. And be a blessing to others. Speaking of shortages, how is the car coming? We're almost approaching 7 months now, aren't we?

STU: Oh, no. We're over 7, Glenn.

We're approaching eight months. We should point out. It's eight months since I officially placed the order.

So I went through a very lengthy process of debating and going back and forth.

GLENN: Right.

STU: And finally placed the order that was over seven months ago.

GLENN: Because your car is like ten years old or something, isn't it?

STU: 2011, I think. Coming up on 11 years old.

GLENN: Because you don't flip cars all the time.

STU: No. And I like the car I had. So I just kept it, and now we're at 120,000 miles on it. Now I know, it could ride a little bit longer. But I'm thinking about, every time I get in the car. I'm like, this is -- the transmission will lock up today. Isn't it? Something will happen, where I won't get no value at the end --

GLENN: So you're really ahead of the game, in some ways.

STU: I wish I went earlier. Maybe I would have had the car delivered already.

But so I then decided, you know what, I'll go with an interim car. I'll get a new car that's not exactly the one I want, that's not the one I ordered. Because I want to get something. In case this thing dies.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: But it's running great. It should last a long time anyway. Hopefully. Right as I'm ordering that one. Which is supposed to come in today. Today. We'll see. It was a couple weeks I did it. Then right as I -- three or four days ago, I got an email from the first dealership that said, your order was just pulled for production. I said, what does that mean? And she said, we should have a target production date, within 30 days.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

STU: So that doesn't mean I get the car within 30 days. It means that we needed have a target -- a target production date delivery within 30 days. This is the life we're all going to be living now. This is the life we're all going to be living.

STU: Because I keep thinking how bad my situation is. And it's bad, from the perspective of, this is America.

GLENN: It's not bad. We're not playing a violin for you.

STU: They're supposed to be knocking at my door every hour of the day, to make me buy a car. Remember the car salesman thing? Where they're harassing you all the time.

GLENN: Now they're like, I'm not sure if we can get you into a car.

STU: I'm trying to spend money at these places, they won't even return my call. But my story pales in comparison to your story.

GLENN: Oh, don't bring this up. No, no, no.

STU: Which, I remember -- I think I'm pretty sure Mitt Romney was running for president when you ordered one particular --

GLENN: So I bought an old Toyota land cruiser. And I just -- I just wanted it to work. Okay? Just wanted it to work.

STU: Yeah. Right.

GLENN: And now three years later. Three years later, this place, that I don't know what I was thinking. This place that is -- is working on it. Uh-huh.

Because I blew a gasket last summer. And I'm like, okay. Guys. Put it in a box. Just put it in a box. And send it to me.

STU: So it's an old land cruiser you were sending.

GLENN: To reposition. So you can actually use it, you know what I mean?

STU: How old is it?

GLENN: 1976.

STU: So modernizing it a little bit.

GLENN: Yeah. So put it in a box. No, no, no. You will have it -- you will have it by Christmas.

STU: Well.

GLENN: No, no, no. I -- I made the mistake. I didn't ask which year. Okay? I just assumed, it was last -- and then they said, it will be right after Christmas. Then it will be at the end of first quarter -- now we're at the end of second quarter.

I think they sold this thing. I think it's gone. I think they maybe had a fire. Sold it. I don't know what happened to it. But I don't think I'm ever getting this car. And if they happen to be listening. Put it in a box, and ship it to me. Good God Almighty. You know what, what's happening to us now, now, I have -- an old cabin that was the original rat-infested, falling apart cabin, built in like 1890. And in it, is the original wood stove. And it says right on the front. You know, made in Ohio.

1891. And I have often thought. I mean, the town that that cabin is in, is still only 500 people. So I can't imagine how few people there were living in that area. When that came and arrived in the Wells Fargo area in 1891. And I thought, imagine what a big deal this was. Back then.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: I bet neighbors came from miles around, to see the new stove. If you would have just gotten a new car, I wouldn't -- I would have been like, oh. Seen it in the parking lot. Walked around it. You would have talked to me. Blah, blah, blah. Now, I want to drive it. I've got to see this car. It's like the Wells Fargo wagon. We're going back to a time where they're like, wow. You got a new spoon. Wow.

STU: See, this is the best argument for Biden's presidency. He's increasing the drama for every purchase. You don't think it's going to come. It's amazing.

GLENN: Yeah. Lots of drama. Lots of the regime. All right. Let me tell you about RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. If you're thinking about selling or buying a home. It's not a piece of cake. Especially right now. There used to be more buyers than sellers. But that's going to change quickly. If you just cast your -- you know, hook out there. Good luck. You need to know where the fish are biting. You need somebody who is -- is really good at these waters. So may I recommend, before you just hire some real estate agent, you -- you write to RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. Just go to RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. It's going to ask, are you buying or selling? Where? And usually within five minutes, but we -- I think we guarantee, no longer than an hour.

We will get you the name of the person that we feel we have vetted that is the best in your area if we have somebody in your area. There are 10,000 real estate agents that want to work. And they're on the waiting list. But we -- I think we have 2,000 that are actually on the official list. And that's because we are very, very careful on who we recommend to you. Because this is my company. And you and I have a relationship. It's RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.

(OUT AT 10:46AM)

GLENN: This is the Glenn Beck Program. We're -- we're glad you're here. Let me -- let me play something from Chuck Todd, that happened over the weekend. On Biden. And his grades on the economy.

VOICE: As Democrats look ahead to November. They see a lot of reason for concern. Their top concern, likely the economy. And while measuring the country's economic fissure right now is complicated. The nation's (inaudible) is certainly not.

In fact, the consumer sentiment index from the inner state of Michigan is probably the best thing we have to measure where people think the economy is.

When Biden took office, it sat at '79. It went up a little bit. In sort of B-plus territory. With the covid response improved, it's now sitting at 62.8.

It's basically a failing grade, if you want. Before -- just before the pandemic hit, February 2020. This index was hitting at 101. People felt really good about the economy.

GLENN: Uh-huh. So he's saying --

STU: Huh.

GLENN: F, Joe Biden. That's what he --

STU: Really? I thought you're supposed to say, let's go Brandon.

GLENN: No, well, but he said failing grade.

That's basically an F. It's like if you're filing -- it would be filed under Beck Glenn. This would just be filed under F Joe Biden.

STU: Got it. Definitely my mistake.

GLENN: By the way, if you missed the show. You missed the explanation of what the president was talking about within on -- on -- well, you know, on -- on the one word that describes America. This came out on Friday. I want to play it.

BIDEN: America is a nation that can be defined in a single word. Excuse me. The foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping. Traveling with him, traveled 17,000 miles when I was vice president. I don't know that for a fact.

GLENN: What the hell is that?

STU: Is he ever actually -- like, is there -- I don't know. Ten minutes later, does he get to the word? I've seen this clip. But I have not seen, did he actually get to a word at some point?

GLENN: Nobody actually watched the whole thing. So it's very difficult. Very difficult to get through it.

STU: Okay. That's unfortunate. I will say, probably the best moment of his presidency though.

GLENN: Because of what he revealed? That we revealed on today's podcast. If you missed hour number one, get today's podcast. We introduce you to why he said that.

A gentleman named Niblick. Yeah. He's a Sherpa guide. That I think sometimes the president talks to in his head. So...

STU: This is a real problem for our country. I don't know if anyone realizes it. We can laugh about it all we want. But we are all in danger, in physical danger.

GLENN: Yeah. We really are.

STU: Of giant explosions going off in your town. That is what we're in danger of. Missiles flying over the polar ice caps, and landing on your city. That's what is at stake here.

GLENN: And you know what's crazy? They said, they felt that that could happen. That's why we had to get rid of Donald Trump, we have to get rid of him. Because he could get us into a war. This guy did get us into a war. He's already done that. And now he's talking up nuclear war. And he has no clue, as to what he was talking about. This was not funny on Friday when I saw that. My first reaction was, we're going to be vaporized. We're all going to be vaporized. And then today you laugh because you don't have -- I mean, we are all going to be vaporized, so we might as well go out laughing. But is there anybody that takes this seriously? Anyone. Anyone. Washington. Anybody. Raise a hand. Do I see a hand?

STU: This has to be constant dinner conversation around Washington. You go to any steakhouse in Washington, on Friday, at about 6:30 p.m. and every table is talking about how -- what do we do? Is this guy going to make it? Is he going to talk us into a war?

GLENN: I would like to know the plan. You know they have talked about it. So I would like to know the plan. Please, just share with us. If it ends up with George Soros, in the big -- just as I have foreseen. And he swivels around and he's in the Oval Office. Good. Just tell me. Just let me know. At least we can be prepared. I just don't -- we don't need anymore shocks. We just don't.

STU: I'm not sure how we prepare for that one, exactly. Especially you. Because I will say this to Mr. Soros who seems like a great guy, I never had anything to do with any of the things Glenn said about you. Why are you on the cover of Glenn's book The Great Reset? I don't know. I didn't design it. It was Glenn. All of this was Glenn. I stayed here.

GLENN: Just as I have foreseen. All your friends will abandon you.

STU: I stayed here the entire time, to work on the inside, to prove the truth about the wonderful man George Soros.

GLENN: By the way, we have a special, on Wednesday night. A serious look at the president's mental health. That is Wednesday night. The Wednesday night special.

The Globalist Elites' Dystopian Plan for YOUR Future | Glenn Beck Chalkboard Breakdown

There are competing visions for the future of America which are currently in totally different directions. If the globalist elites have their way, the United States will slide into a mass surveillance technocracy where freedoms are eroded and control is fully centralized. Glenn Beck heads to the chalkboard to break down exactly what their goal is and why we need to hold the line against these ominous forces.

Glenn Beck and Pat Gray review the awkward footage, including a kiss that could compete for “most awkward TV kiss in history.”

GLENN: Now, let me -- let me take you to some place. I think kind of entertaining.

Michelle Obama has a podcast. Who knew?

She does it with her brother. Who knew? It's -- you know, I mean, it's so -- it's a podcast with two brothers. Right?

And -- and it -- they wanted to address the rumors, that they're getting a divorce. And this thing seems so staged.

I want you to -- listen to this awkward exchange on the podcast.

Cut one please.

VOICE: Wait, you guys like each other.

MICHELLE: Oh, yeah. The rumor mill. It's my husband, y'all! Now, don't start.

OBAMA: It's good to be back. It was touch-and-go for a while.

VOICE: It's so nice to have you both in the same room today.

OBAMA: I know. I know.

MICHELLE: I know, because when we aren't, folks things we're divorced. There hasn't been one moment in our marriage, where I thought about quitting my man.

And we've had some really hard times. We've had a lot of fun times. A lot of adventures. And I have become a better person because of the man I'm married to.

VOICE: Okay. Don't make me cry.

PAT: Aw.

GLENN: I believed her. Now, this is just so hokey.

VOICE: And welcome to IMO.

MICHELLE: Get you all teared up. See, but this is why I can't -- see, you can take the hard stuff, but when I start talking about the sweet stuff, you're like, stop. No, I can't do it.

VOICE: I love it. I'm enjoying it.

MICHELLE: But thank you, honey, for being on our show. Thank you for making the time. We had a great --

VOICE: Of course, I've been listening.

PAT: What? No!

GLENN: They're not doing good. They're not doing good.

Okay. And then there was this at the beginning. And some people say, this was very awkward. Some people say, no. It was very nice.

When he walks in the room, he gives her a hug and a kiss. Watch.

Gives her a little peck on the cheek.

PAT: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

GLENN: Does that --

PAT: Does that look like they're totally into each other?

GLENN: Well, I give my wife a peck on the cheek, if she walks into a room.

PAT: Do you? If you haven't seen her in months and it seems like they haven't, would you kiss her on the cheek? Probably not.

GLENN: No, that's a little different. That would be a little different. But I wouldn't make our first seeing of each other on television.

PAT: Yeah, right, that's true. That's true.

GLENN: But, you know, in listening to the staff talk about this. And they were like, it was a really uncomfortable -- okay.

Well, maybe.

PAT: I think it was a little uncomfortable.

GLENN: It was a little uncomfortable.

It's still, maybe. Maybe.

But I don't think that rivals -- and I can't decide which is the worst, most uncomfortable kiss.

Let me roll you back into the time machine, to Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. Do you remember this kiss?
(applauding)

GLENN: He turns away, immediately away from the camera. Because he's like.

PAT: He was about to vomit. Yeah.

GLENN: It was so awkward. When that happened, all of us went, oh, my gosh. He has only kissed little boys. What are we doing? What is happening?

He doesn't like women, what is happening?

And then there's the other one that sticks out in my mind of -- and I'm not sure which is worse. The Lisa Marie or the Tipper in Al Gore.

VOICE: The kiss. The famous exchange during the 2000 democratic convention was to some lovely, to others icky.
(laughter)

GLENN: That's an ABC reporter. To some lovely, others icky.

And it really was. And it was -- I believe his global warming stuff more than that kiss.
(laughter)
And you know where I stand on global warming.

That was the most awkward kiss I think ever on television!

PAT: Yeah. It was pretty bad. Pretty bad.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

So when people who are, you know -- these youngsters.

These days. They look at Barack and Michelle. They're like, that was an awkward kiss.

Don't even start with me.

We knew when we were kids, what awkward kisses were like.

PAT: The other awkward thing about that.

She claims, there was not been one moment in their marriage.

Where she's considered reeving him.

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: She just said a while ago. A month or a year ago, she hated his guts for ten years. She hated it.

GLENN: Yeah. But that doesn't mean you'll give up.

PAT: I guess not. I guess not. Maybe you enjoy being miserable.

I don't know.

GLENN: No. I have to tell you the truth.

My grandmother when I got a divorce, just busted me up forever. I call her up, and I said, on my first marriage.

Grandma, we're getting a divorce.

And my sweet little 80-year-old grandmother, who never said a bad thing in her life said, excuse me?

And I said, what?

We're getting a divorce.

And she said, how dare you.

I said, what's happening. And she said, I really thought you would be the one that would understand. Out of everybody in this family, I thought you would understand.

And I said, what?

And she said, this just -- this just crushed me when she said it.

Do you think your grandfather and I liked each other all these years? I was like, well, yeah.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: Kind of. And she said, we loved each other. But we didn't always like each other. And there were times that we were so mad at each other.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh.

STU: But we knew one thing: Marriage lasts until death!

PAT: Did she know your first wife?

GLENN: Okay. All right. That's just not necessary.

No, Trump’s tariffs ARE NOT causing inflation

The media is insisting that President Trump's tariffs caused a rise in inflation for June. But Our Republic president Justin Haskins joins Glenn to debunk this theory and present another for where inflation is really coming from.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Justin Haskins is here. He is the president of Our Republic. And the editor-in-chief of stoppingsocialism.com.

He is also the coauthor with me at the Great Reset, Dark Future, and Propaganda War.

So, in other words, I'm saying, he doesn't have a lot of credibility. But he is here to report -- I don't even think you're -- you're -- you were wrong on this, too, with the tariffs. Right?

JUSTIN: Well, at some point, I was wrong about everything.

GLENN: Yeah, right. We are all on the road to being right.

But this is coming as a shock. You called yesterday, and you said, Glenn, I think the tariff thing -- I think the president might be right.

And this is something I told him, if I'm wrong. I will admit that I'm wrong.

But I don't think I'm wrong.

Because this goes against everything the economists have said, forever.

That tariffs don't work.

They increase inflation.

It's going to cost us more.

All of these things. You have been study this now for a while, to come up with the right answer, no matter where it fell.

Tell me what's going on.

JUSTIN: Okay. So the most recent inflation data that came out from the government, shows that in June, prices went up 2.7 percent. In May, they went up 2.4 percent. That's compared to a year prior. And most people are saying, well, this is proof that the tariffs are causing inflation.

GLENN: Wait. That inflation is -- the target is -- the target is two -- I'm sorry.

We're not. I mean, when I was saying, it was going to cause inflation. I thought we could be up to 5 percent.

But, anyway, go ahead.

JUSTIN: So the really incredible thing though. The more you look at the numbers. The more obvious it is, that this does not prove inflation at all.

For starters, these numbers are lower, than what the numbers were in December and January.

Before Trump was president. And before we had any talk of tariffs at all.

So that is a big red flag right at the very beginning. When you dive even deeper into the numbers, what you see is there's all kinds of parts of the Consumer Price Index that tracks specific industries, or kinds of goods and services. That should be showing inflation, if inflation is being caused by tariffs, but isn't.

So, for example, clothing and apparel. Ninety-seven percent, basically.

About 97 percent according to one report, of clothing and apparel comes overseas, imported into the United States.

GLENN: Correct.

JUSTIN: So prices for apparel and clothing should be going up. And they're not going up, according to the data, they're actually going down, compared to what they were a year ago. Same thing is true with new vehicles.

Obviously, there were huge tariffs put on foreign vehicles, not on domestic vehicles. So it's a little bit more mixed.

But new vehicle price are his staying basically flat. They haven't gone up at all. Even though, there's a 25 percent tariff on imported cars and car parts. And then we just look at the overall import prices. You just -- sort of the index. Which the government tracks.

What we're seeing is that prices are basically staying the same, from what they were a year ago.

There's very, very little movement overall.

GLENN: Okay. So wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Wait.

Let me just -- let me just make something career.

Somebody is eating the tariffs. And it appears to be the companies that are making these things. Which is what Donald Trump said. And then, the -- you know, the economist always saying, well, they're just going to pass this on in the price.

Well, they have to. They have to get this money some place.

So where are they?

Is it possible they're just doing this right now, to get past. Because they know if they jack up their price, you know, they won't be able to sell anything. What is happening?

How is this money, being coughed up by the companies, and not passed on to the consumer.

JUSTIN: Yeah, it could be happening. I think the most likely scenario, is that they are passing it along to consumers. They're just not passing it along to American consumers.

In other words, they're raising prices elsewhere. To try to protect the competitiveness with the American market. Because the American market is the most important consumer market in the world.

And they probably don't want to piss off Donald Trump either, in jacking up prices. And then potentially having tariffs go up even more, as a punishment for doing that.

Because that's a real option.

And so I think that's what's happening right now.

Now, it's possible, that we are going to see a huge increase in inflation. In six months!

That's entirely possible.

We don't know what's going to happen. But as of right now, all the data is suggesting that recent inflation is not coming from consumer goods being imported, or anything like that.

That's not where the inflation is coming.

Instead, it's coming from housing.

That's part of the CPI at that time.

Housing is the cause of inflation right now.

GLENN: Wait. Wait. It's not housing, is it?

Because the things to make houses is not going through the roof. Pardon the pun. Right?

It's not building.

JUSTIN: No. No. The way the CPI calculates housing is really stupid. They look basically primarily at rent. That's the primary way, they determine housing prices.

GLENN: Okay.

JUSTIN: That so on they're not talking about housing costs to build a new house.

Or housing prices to buy a new house.

They are talking about rent.

And then they try to use rent data, as a way of calculating how much you would have to pay if you owned a house, but you had to rent the same kind of house.

And that's how they come up with this category.

GLENN: Can I ask you a question: Is everybody in Washington, are they all retarded?
(laughter)
Because I don't. What the hell. Who is coming up with that formula?

JUSTIN: Look. I mean, sort of underlying this whole conversation, as you -- as you and I know, Glenn.

And Pat too. The CPI is a joke to begin with.

GLENN: Right.

JUSTIN: So there's all kinds of problems with this system, to begin with.

I mean, come on!

GLENN: Okay. So because I promised the president, if I was wrong, and I had the data that I was wrong, I would tell him.

Do I have to -- out of all the days to do this.

Do I have to call him today, to do that?

Are we still -- are we still looking at this, going, well, maybe?

JUSTIN: I think there's -- I think there is a really solid argument that you don't need to make the phone call.

GLENN: Oh, thank God. Today is not the day to call Donald Trump. Today is not the day.

Yeah. All right.

JUSTIN: And the reason why is, we need -- we probably do need more data over a longer period of time, to see if corporations are doing something.

In order to try to push these cuts off into the future, for some reason. Maybe in the hopes that the tariffs go down. Or maybe -- you know, it's all sorts of ways, they could play with it, to try to avoid paying those costs today.

It's possible, that's what's going on.

But as of right now, that's not at all, what is happening. As far as I can tell from the data.

GLENN: But isn't the other side of this, because everybody else said, oh. It's not going to pay for anything.

Didn't we last month have the first surplus since, I don't know. Abraham Lincoln.

JUSTIN: Yes. Yes. We did. I don't know how long that surplus will last us.

GLENN: Yeah. But we had one month.

I don't think I've ever heard that before in my lifetime. Hey, United States had a surplus.

JUSTIN: I looked it up.

I think it was like 20 something years ago, was the last time that happened. If I remembered right.

It was 20 something years ago.

So this is incredible, really.

And if it works.

You and I talked about this before.

I actually think there is an argument to be made. That this whole strategy could work, if American manufacturers can dramatically bring down their costs. To produce goods and services.

So that they can be competitive.

And I think that advancements in artificial intelligence. In automation. Is going to open up the door to that being a reality.

And if you listen to the Trump administration talk. People like Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce. They have said, this is the plan.

The plan is, go all in on artificial intelligence.

Automation. That's going to make us competitive with manufacturers overseas. China is already doing that.

They're already automating their factories. They lead the world in automation.

GLENN: Yeah, but they can take half their population, put them up in a plane, and then crash it into the side of the mountain.

They don't care.

What happens to the people that now don't have a job here? How do they afford the clothes that are now much, much cheaper?

JUSTIN: Well, I think the answer to that is, there's going to be significantly more wealth. Trillions of dollars that we send overseas, every year, now in the American economy. And that's going to go into other things. It's not as though -- when this technology comes along, it is not as though people lose their jobs, and that's it. People sit on their couch forever.

The real danger here is not that new markets will not arrive in that situation. And jobs with it. The problem is: I think there's a real opportunity here. And I think this is going to be the fight of the next election, potentially. Presidential election. And going forward.

Next, ten, 20 years. This is going to be a huge issue. Democrats are going to have the opportunity, when the AI revolution goes into full force. They will have the opportunity like they've never had before.

To say, you know what, we'll take care of you. Don't worry about it.

We're just going to take all of the corporate money and all of the rich people's money.

And we will print trillions of dollars more. And you can sit on your couch forever. And we will just pay you. Because this whole system is rigged, and it's unfair, and you don't have a job anymore because of AI. And there's nothing you can do. You can't compete with AI. AI is smarter than you.

You have no hope.

I think that's coming, and it is going to be really hard for free market people to fight back against that.

GLENN: Yes.

Well, I tend to agree with you.

Because the -- you know, I thought about this.

I war gamed this, probably in 2006.

I'm thinking, okay.

If -- if the tech is going to grow and grow and grow. And they will start being -- they will be responsible for taking the jobs.

They won't be real on popular.

So they will need some people that will allow them to stay in business, and to protect them.

So they're going to need to be in with the politicians.

And if the politicians are overseeing the -- the decrease of jobs, they're going to need the -- the PR arm of things like social media. And what it can be done.

What can be done now.

I was thinking, at the time. Google can do.

But they need each other.

They must have one another. And unless we have a stronger foundation, and a very clear direction, and I will tell you. The president disagrees with me on this.

I said, he's going to be remembered as the transformational AI president.

And he said, I think you're wrong on that.

And I don't think I am.

This -- this -- this time period is going to be remembered for transformation.

And he is transforming the world. But the one that will make the lasting difference will be power and AI.

Agree with that or disagree?

JUSTIN: 1,000 percent. 1,000 percent. This is by far the most important thing that is happening in his administration in the long run. You're projecting out ten, 20, 30 years ago years.

They will be talking about this moment in history, a thousand years from now. Like, that will -- and they will -- and if America becomes the epicenter of this new technology, they will be talking about it, a thousand years from now, about how Americans were the ones that really developed this.

That they're the ones that promoted it, that they're the ones that does took advantage of it.
That's why this AI race with China is so important that we win it.

It's one of the reasons why. And I do think it's a defining moment for his presidency. Of course, the problem with all of this is AI could kill us all. You have to weigh that in.

GLENN: Yeah. Right. Right.

Well, we hope you're wrong on that one.

And I'm wrong on it as well. Justin, thank you so much.

Thank you for giving me the out, where I don't have to call him today. But I might have to call him soon. Thanks, Justin. I appreciate it.

The ONLY Trump/Epstein Files Theories That Make Sense | Glenn TV | Ep 445

Is the case closed on Jeffrey Epstein and Russiagate? Maybe not. Glenn Beck pulls the thread on the story and its far-reaching implications that could expose a web of scandals and lead to a complete implosion of trust. Glenn lays out five theories that could explain Trump’s frustration over the Epstein files and why Glenn may never talk about the Epstein case again. Plus, Glenn connects the dots between the Russiagate hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up, and the Steele dossier related to the FBI’s new “grand conspiracy” probe. It all leads to one James Bond-like villain: former CIA Director John Brennan. Then, Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, tells Glenn why he believes his former boss Brennan belongs in prison and what must happen to prevent a full-blown trust implosion in American institutions.
