How ‘foolish’ next steps with Russia could COLLAPSE America

Many Americans — including influential politicians — are calling for the Biden administration to stop imports of Russian oil. Glenn says he supports that initiative IF America is drilling for oil at home to replace it. Unfortunately, though, our elected leaders currently are seeking oil from Iran and Venezuela instead. The only way this would make sense, Glenn explains, is if our leaders truly want to destroy America. They’re being foolish, not looking at next steps to come, and it could be enough to collapse the U.S...

GLENN: Hello, you sick, twisted freak. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. What you're seeing happen over in Russia, is -- is the Great Reset.

And people may cheer for it. And say, look, they can't even watch the opening of Batman this weekend.

Yeah.

But this has never happened before, in history. And it's not because, you know, the Biden administration cobbled all these people together.

This is The Great Reset.

This is all of these companies, deciding, that they want to have a high ESG score.

And so that's what they're doing.

And they are collapsing the economy, of Russia.

Unfortunately, because we are foolish, and we don't -- we don't look beyond the next step, we are collapsing ourself, as well.

We cannot cut off Russian oil, without us opening up our own not oil reserves. Open our own oil production.

We could provide the world with the energy, that it needs, or a good portion of it.

But we won't do it, because of global warming. So we're going to these crazy places.

STU: And their excuse for it, basically. If you will take the best face of the administration.

Their position of it, is we're going to Iran. We're going to Venezuela. Because we want to limit the damage, of whatever is going to happen in Russia. So we need more production. And the reason we don't open it up, here, is because we don't want this to be a long-term play for more fossil fuel use.

We want this to be a short-term price control, on the market. Where we can help the market, in this -- in this short time, when this war is going on, and we have all these disruptions. But we don't want to depend for a long time on fossil fuels, because we think the existential threat of all of our civilizations is global warming.

GLENN: It doesn't make sense because you would go to fossil fuels from Russia, which is oil is dirtier than ours and has much worse effect on the climate, as you're refining it.

It wouldn't make sense, that you would go to Iran.

And Venezuela.

Why would you go? Because now your social justice goes off the charts.

You're going to go fund a country, that is -- throws homosexuals off the roofs of buildings?

You're going to go to a socialist country, that is starving its people, while its leader gets rich?

I don't think that's a good idea.

STU: No.

But I think their position on that is, it's temporary.

We're not going --

GLENN: Yeah. Temporarily helping any of thinker people.

STU: Oh. I'm with you on this, by the way.

GLENN: I know. I know. But temporarily helping people, that are throwing gay people off the roof?

That's what --

STU: Well, it's not like Russia is much better on that topic. We're already buying it from Russia.

GLENN: Yeah. We should contract, not expand.

Just the only thing that makes sense, is if you actually don't want America to succeed. Or you don't believe that anyone is for this. Except a small handful of people.

And so if you give out this ground now, you'll never get it back.

STU: I think that's kind of what it is, right?

At least partially.

GLENN: Yeah. Could be.

STU: They believe -- when they have power like this. Jammed through every green new deal. Lock us in for long-term progress on this.

GLENN: So then that should. You should ask then, are they truly representatives of the people?

STU: Of course not.

GLENN: Right. Right. If you're willing to collapse us, for that.

STU: I mean, if you have this. You have this view of global warming. This apocalyptic you want I can view of global warming. Where you would rather give money to regimes like Iran and Venezuela, that's just completely insane.

And the Elon Musk position is a much more sensible, apocalyptic global warming position, right?

Where you say, all right. We have nuclear power. Which is much, much safer.

It is -- it's the best type of power available, for all of these reasons.

It lasts forever. Basically, it's -- it is completely clean. Emission-free.

All the things, that both sides seem to want. Independents, plus no emissions. I mean, it really does hit the sweet spot there.

And environmentalists have turned against this, for 40, 50 years. It just shows no seriousness.

And now we're in this position, where we have to deal with these regimes. Or we have to violate one of these two signs. Either not be independent. Or about to do forbid, light the planet on fire.

GLENN: Well, the reason why we don't want to buy oil from Russia is, humanitarian reasons. We don't like what he's doing to people?

STU: Sure. That's part of it. That's how they're violating this war. Right?

GLENN: Right. Right.

I know. But we weren't talking about not funding him.

Until he crossed into Ukraine.

STU: Right.

GLENN: So we're all seeing the people in Ukraine, and saying, oh, my gosh. We have to help these people. They want to be free.

Uh-huh. What about the people that marched and were jailed in Cuba. Let's be really clear.

In Iran.

STU: In Venezuela.

GLENN: And in Venezuela.

Why don't we see them?

STU: I think what --

GLENN: You can't. You can't heal one place, by aiding murderers and things in another.

STU: Generally speaking though, the situations you're talking about, are situations in which. And we have very much, by the way, isolated Iran before this.

GLENN: Yeah. Not now.

STU: Now, all of a sudden, we're reversing that.

But their in-country issues, right?

The -- the message being sent to Russia here, in their argument. Their worldview.

Is this is a line you can't cross. I have crossed a line, and we're enforcing a line, and doing with everything we can to enforce a line. And if it means we have to fall back on some other promises and some other things. Then that's what we have to do.

As you know, Glenn. We're only a few months away, from an election in this country. In them the Democrat, if they're facing 8-dollar a gallon gas, they're not going to do well with $2 a gallon gas right now. $8 a gallon gas could be the ultimate wave election, that we haven't seen in a century.

Right?

So it might make the Tea Party election, look like it was nothing, from 2010.

If we're looked at 8-dollar a gallon gas. And inflation through the roof.

That's exactly --

GLENN: This is where some people think, yeah. Well, that's why they'll bring things town quickly.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Because then they'll just cancel elections. If you cancel elections. This will not happen. Well, I can't say that.

STU: You can't say anything can happen anymore.

GLENN: Anything can happen. I just don't see that happening. But I do see a country that is so hungry, that is so freaked out, by everything that is -- that is happening. And the Democrats saying, we'll give you all these free things.

Pass our Build Back Better bill, and we'll give you all these free things.

STU: Do you think that will be effective. We'll oversee this entire thing happening?

GLENN: It might be. It might be.

I mean, otherwise, what -- it's -- well, it's -- it's Putin. It's Putin.

Why? Why would you do this? This makes no sense.

Why would you do this?

Well, it makes sense to somebody. With Putin. Why would you do this?

Your logic doesn't work here. It doesn't make sense. What are you doing?

So your answer is, he's crazy. Or we don't understand what he thinks is rational, okay?

The same thing here, with the Democratic -- the Democratic Party. I mean, I don't know. Why would you do this? Why wouldn't you open up just for nine months, hey, we're opening up just for this.

Why wouldn't you open that up? It would provide relief. It would create jobs.

It would put us back into a position, where we're leading the world, not -- not following.

And I think those reasons are the reasons why they're not doing that. But what is your endgame? I don't know.

How do you win the election, I don't know.

STU: Because there's no way, there's no -- I think they're trying to hopefully minimize the harsh impact of the American people, so they can do not lose -- not only purple districts, but, you know, light blue districts.

GLENN: Where are they minimizing this? Where are you seeing them minimize it?

STU: Going to Iran. Going to Venezuela, to try to lower gas prices enough, so the shock isn't as bad, if we wind up losing Russia.

Because we keep talking about. Well, we might not buy Russian oil. What if they sell it to us?

That's how they're funding the war right now. They will continue to do it, we think for the foreseeable future. What if they decide, you know what, Europe, we're not giving you anything. We see what you're doing on our borders. We see what you're doing in this war. We see you're sending planes in there. We're not selling it to you anymore.

Yes, that would hurt them.

GLENN: Who has whom over the barrel?

STU: They both have each other over it.

GLENN: Yeah. I know.

This is one of the situations that people don't understand. We hope that both sides walk away from the table with the gun pointed at each other, saying, all right. We're not going -- we're not going to mess with each other, right? Right?

Because I can shoot you dead, you can shoot me dead. It's mutually assured destruction. Mad is not just with nuclear missiles, although it is with nuclear missiles in the end.

But, you know, right now, we can both -- and we both are destroying our own economies.

We are engaged, in mad. In madness.

We are destroying ourselves. We're destroying them.

They're destroying themselves.

And us.

It's madness.

Is there anyone that is an adult in the room, that can stand up and go, okay. All right. Okay.

At least in America, if you want to do this, you have to pump your own oil and gas. You must, right now.

Otherwise, sit down. Shut up. Sit down and shut up.

We can't say we are being compassionate, to Ukraine, if we are destroying ourselves.

STU: That doesn't help anybody.

GLENN: Doesn't help anyone in the end. We can't destroy ourselves. And we don't have to.

It's easy. Just turn the pipelines back on. Just open up the spigots, for the natural gas, and the oil to flow. And we can help Europe. We can help our -- we can help ourselves. We can help Ukraine.

And we can cripple Russia.

Isn't that what we want to do? Isn't that what our plan is? Or is our plan to all of us, none of us, have anything? Just wipe everything out.

That doesn't sound like a good plan. But I haven't -- I haven't heard people really -- have you heard people articulate this?

I either hear, you know, Putin is not a bad guy. Or we need to fly our planes in there, and cut off his oil.

STU: Yeah. It's a weird time. Because we are correctly, morally justified in taking a strong position on this. On what has happened. It's been really, really bad.

And Vladimir Putin still is mostly to blame for it.

You know, that's not to say, everyone else in the world is perfect.

But this was an unneeded escalation in our world.

But I don't think that the American people have been told, and had the full conversation, on what sort of ramifications are going to come from this. I still talk to people who are like, I'm not really interested. It's way over there.

GLENN: Yeah. Not so much.

STU: It will affect us in a major way. It obviously already is at the pumps. That's the first sign though. If this thing goes on.

Vladimir Putin is not the type of guy who will say, yeah. You guys ruined our economy. Let me go back to our own borders. You know what, take Crimea back too.

That may be too much of an overreach for us. He's not that kind of guy. He won't back up. And say, this was a mistake. I'm sorry.

GLENN: Here's the reason why Donald Trump didn't say anything about Putin, while they were together. Okay?

And Putin didn't say anything bad about Trump. Because Trump told me, I had a deal, you don't embarrass me. I won't embarrass you.

Now, that's not just beyond policy. It's just, don't you dare target me, personally. Or I will target you personally in the war of words. You know.

STU: Yeah. And people forget Trump's policies, not words. But policies on Russia very strong. Much stronger than Obama's or Bidens.

GLENN: Right.

And he also said to Putin, you take Ukraine. Those beautiful onion domes there in Moscow. I blow those up.

STU: The gold turrets, they're going down.

GLENN: Yeah. And that is important, in a guy, like Vladimir Putin.

You have to speak his language. Or he does not respect you.

Barack & Michelle tried to END divorce rumors. It DIDN'T go well

Former president Barack Obama recently joined his wife Michelle Obama and her brother on their podcast to finally put the divorce rumors to rest … but it didn’t exactly work. Glenn Beck and Pat Gray review the awkward footage, including a kiss that could compete for “most awkward TV kiss in history.”

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

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.
