EXPLAINED: How far-left AGENTS OF CHAOS are destroying us all

A recent poll from the State Policy Network Survey shows that Americans are BEYOND worried about nearly everything: Food affordability and shortages, inflation, rising energy prices, and possible nuclear war. But living in this kind of fear is destructive to not only our health, Glenn says, but our country as well. So what’s causing the fear? In this clip, Glenn uses recent stories to show how far-left ‘agents of chaos’ are to blame. They’re only concerned about their own power, he explains, and they’ll shut down anyone who disagrees. So it’s time to call them out. ‘There’s a great evil happening in our country,’ Glenn says. ‘And it’s easy to define. We just have to start saying it out loud.’

GLENN: Let me give you a couple of stories here that I think are -- say everything that you need to say.

There's a new poll out. The state policy network survey. And they are asking, in this national poll, what are you concerned about. And they found that 68 percent of the people are concerned about, you know, being able to afford their food.

They are concerned about inflation -- inflation. They are concerned about rising energy prices. And job loss.

However, the researchers found that 71 percent say they worry about international conflicts escalating into a nuclear war.

70 percent are worried, that there will be food shortages. 88 percent of respondents say they're concerned about energy shortages.

79 percent say they worry about the collapse of the US government. We are more concerned today about what shoe is going to drop next. This is the reason America has always been successful.

The people have been good. As a nation, we're not making good choices.

So that's faltering. We have always been blessed. Because we have an endless supply of cheap energy. That's going away.

We've had people who wanted to work and innovate. Where is that attitude?

So we are now worried about the things that are causing our instability, but we're doing a lot of the instability-making, you know. If your kids aren't out working, if you're not holding down that moral fort in your own life, and in your own family. Your kids are going to get lost, to riots in the streets, and everything else.

And the collapse of the US government happens, and that's the final straw. People put money into America, over most places in the world. Because we're stable.

But we're unstable now. Now, I want you to listen. Because there is a -- there is somebody that commented on this. Who is with the new state policy network. And -- and he is with the morning consult.

And he said, if fear comes from political issue, like climate change. You can see these symptoms come out. And how people talk about the issues or debate it.

Often debates that are just shouting matches are people trying to find a way to release the anxiety they feel. Mental health issues are another consequence of long-term fear.

Given the rise in mental health conditions, and the way we engage in political discussions in the US, it might be fair to say, we aren't dealing with our fears, particularly well.

And listen to this: And need to find ways to cut off sources, that feed them, for political gain or profit.

What -- what does that mean, exactly? What are you -- huh?

Now, I don't know exactly what he meant by that. But my mind goes immediately to, we have to censor people.

That is the worst thing we can do. The reason why we have conspiracy theories, is, one, nobody is being held accountable. Two, everybody seems to be dirty, because they're not transparent.

Three, when questions -- or answers to questions don't make sense, and no one will show you any kind of transparency. You know, hey, I learned this. You know, in second grade math. Show your work. When they won't show their work, and you don't have trust, and their answers don't make sense. I'm sorry.

There's got to be another answer. And when you ask, is there another reason, this is going on?

They silence you. It's the worst thing that can happen. If you want an open society, to quote George Soros.

So protecting speech from Government Interference Act. This is something the Republicans in the House oversight committee, have tried to pass. They're trying to pass it now.

And it prohibits political activity by federal employees, to prohibit the use of official authority to influence or coerce any interactive computer service. Or to remove or suppress lawful speech. Well, the Democrats are very upset about this.

They say, this is the Putin Protection Act. I am so sick of hearing this.

This will just empower election deniers. COVID deniers. And white supremacists.

Shut up. Shut up.

We seem to have done fine since Woodrow Wilson. We had a little blip in the '50s, where we were putting people like Dalton Trump in jail. For what he believed.

But other than that, we've been pretty good. With freedom of speech.

Let me give you -- let me give you some examples. Nike has the unmitigated gall, to send a letter to the Portland mayor, at the end of the day, wheeler, and city officials, ask community Nike store.

Now, this thing has been closed for months. Why?

Because you don't arrest anybody who is stealing. So people come in, and your private security, cannot touch or stop anyone.

You can only report it to the police. But the police aren't showing up. So they've gone and said, hey. We are so with BLM, and the all things that have destroyed law and order in this country. We are so with you. We will continue to fund that.

But could we fund some police too?

Oh, good. Some private Nike police. Wouldn't that be great?

So they want to directly fund full-time police officers.

Well, the city is saying, no. You can't do that. Because, why?

We have a shortage of police officers. We're already paying them over time, just to do regular stuff. We don't have enough to then put them at the Nike story.

And Nike is saying, well, I can't open a store in your -- I mean, we already have been closed two years. We want to come back, Portland, but it's too dangerous for our employees, and we're hemorrhaging product.

Now, let me ask you. What's the problem there? What's the cause of that problem?

The cause of that problem is all of the ridiculous bullcrap about the police being reimagined.

About -- about defending the perpetrator. Well, I don't know. How did they grow up? What kind of hassles have they had in their life?

Shut up! Breaking the law. Justice is blind. I don't care if you're a leper, that's just been healed by Jesus. And I should really like you. You broke the law, you're going to jail.

No. We know that. We know that our police, are not able to do their job, because the left has turned America against the police.

Did you know that 50 percent of murders in the US are going unsolved now? 50 percent.

If there's somebody you want to off, now would probably be a good time. At least even odds. Okay?

50 percent.

Now, it's called homicide clearance rates, when they clear a murder. You know, the rate at which they're solving them.

It dropped from 71 percent, to an all-time low of 50 percent. Okay. This is according to the FBI.

All right. So what's the problem with that? Well, they would like you to understand between 1919 -- sorry, 2019 and 2020, law enforcement solved 1200 more homicides than the previous year.

Wait a minute. I thought it just dropped. Well, I mean, they're solving more crimes, but homicides increased by 30 percent.

So they're not, they're overwhelmed. And why are they overwhelmed?

Because there's not enough qualified police. Why is that?

BLM. And all that bullcrap, that you knew was bullcrap. And so did your neighbor, who is a Democrat, and voted Democrats.

But wouldn't say it, couldn't say it, because they were all wrapped up in politics.

So we have abandoned common sense. And now, murder rate is up. And you've got even odds. Fifty-50 chance of getting caught, if you kill somebody.

Huh. Huh.

By the way, national clearance rates for rape, were 30 percent.

So you've got a 70 percent chance of getting away with rape. Assault, 47 percent.

Robbery, they catch you about 27 percent of the time.

Burglaries, theft, and arsons. Have the lowest clearance rate, between 14 and 21.

You go ahead. Keep your store open there in Portland. You can't do it!

You can't do it.

So, what is causing this?

It is being caused by all of the lies, that we have been told, and we have told ourselves.

Well, society can go on.

I mean, yes. We shouldn't have allowed that. But we're reimagining things.

No. You don't need to reimagine law and order. We've been working on the law and order thing, for a long time.

What works? Well, not gulags. Not -- not police, that will just beat you on the street corner.

We don't want any of that. We want equal justice. Now, we've not gotten there. Because there's always somebody, that somebody has a problem with.

Well, I don't like them, because of their race.

Okay. Are we solving that? No.

Because what's happening is, more people are being made racist, just against a different race.

I thought the objective here was to stop racism. That's not the objective. You know it, and I know it.

Because this antiracist nonsense states that. But we don't talk about that. You can't, or you'll be silenced.

More in just a second.
(music)
So how are you sleeping? Huh?

After all that, how are you sleeping?

If your wife has been sharpening knives and she's not too happy with you, if she heard today's show and she is like, 50 percent chance. That is worth it.

Don't take Relief Sleep. Okay. Stay awake. Sleep at work or something. But if you are desperate for a solution to your sleep, may I recommend Relief Sleep. This is coming from Relief Factor. It's amazing. And just like regular Relief Factor, that you take for pain. Relief Factor sleep is 100 percent drug-free.

I have -- I have never taken a sleep product, where you don't feel it the next day.

I've had -- what the? Melatonin, right?

It doesn't work for me. You know, I take handfuls of it, and it doesn't do anything for me. Relief sleep does. I know from experience.

Sara is looking at me like, you probably shouldn't take handfuls of it. I don't know. More is always better. Oh, take two. Why not take four.

Anyway.

There might be a reason why I'm an alcoholic. Let's not think too long on that. Your first bottle of relief sleep is 19.95. Twenty minutes to get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment. As you drift away at night, you'll wake up in the morning, refreshed. You do not feel this in your system.

Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800-4-Relief. That's 800-4-Relief. 800-4-Relief. Or ReliefFactor.com. Ten-second station ID.
(music)
All right. Let me play -- let me play a couple of things here. Let's first hit the -- hmm. Let me go with the woman who has lost her children, to fentanyl because of the border.

VOICE: 100,000 die every year, and nothing is being done. Not enough is being done. Numbers are going up! Not down.

And you talk about children being taken away from their parents! My children have been taken away from me.

GLENN: Stop. This is -- this is a woman testifying yesterday in front of Congress, two of her children were killed by fentanyl. Two.

The -- the problem with fentanyl is just the beginning. We are in a replay of the opioid wars.

That Britain did to China. They're doing it to us. And they're on our border. Shipping of these things to the drug cartels. And it's coming in, like never before.

And our government and our press is telling us, the border is secure.

It's not secure. And you know it, or our children would not be dying from fentanyl overdoses at the rate they are.

The border is not secure. We know it. And I don't care who tells you. The G.O.P. or the DNC. It is an out-and-out lie.

I don't accept it. Children are dying. America is being destroyed from within. Our government is complicit in the trafficking of the drugs. But also the trafficking of humans.

The trafficking -- you know, we know Iran has sent terrorists, that we have by chance caught. That are on the FBI's most wanted list for terrorism.

We haven't even begun to pay for the open border through terrorism. But mark my words, it's coming.

We must stop accepting the lies. And have the courage to say, it's just not true.

I'm sorry. The emperor has no clothes.

More in just a second.
(music)

GLENN: I am so happy to have the sponsors that I do. And to be in a -- you have put me in a position, to where I can choose my sponsors.

And I turned down much more than I accept.

The Tunnel2Towers Foundation is an extraordinary charity. They are the best of us. They have taken a terrible event of 9/11, where 3,000 people died. And they have dedicated themselves for the last 20-plus years.

To keep that story alive. But also, help the war heroes, the people who have lost their lives. Lost limbs.

The police officers and the fire department, that are critically injured or die. They take care of those families.

But they also are teaching our -- our elementary school kids and our high school kids and probably many more, what 9/11 really was, discovering heroes. It is a great program.

Please, donate, and help them do their job. Eleven dollars a month is what they're asking at T2T.org. That's T2T.org.

STU: Head over to BlazeTV.com/Glenn. And subscribe now with the promo code Glenn.
(OUT AT 9:29 AM)

GLENN: We better make up our minds on war, pretty quickly.

China is now considering arming Russia.

Did you know that Biden quadrupled US troop presence in Taiwan.

Quadrupled it?

Also Biden in talks with Poland to increase our boots on the ground in Poland.

Russian state TV is declaring the United States has declared war over on Russia.

And all of the things I just said to you, have happened in the last seven days.

We are marching towards real trouble.

When will they consult with us? Or Congress?

When? Have you made up your mind, and are you comfortable with the outcome, that it might mean sending your kids overseas?

Tonight, is a time for choosing. Are we willing to risk an all-out war in Ukraine?

I don't want the government to continue this escalation. But I do want to understand their side of it. Tonight, on the Wednesday night special, I'm talking to real lions on both sides.

I have invited Jerry Boykin. The -- what? Two-star general Jerry Boykin to join me. He is for the weapons and what we're doing in Iran -- or, in Ukraine.

And I have Andy Biggs on.

And he disagrees with even the funding of it. I want to hear those two separately.

I want to talk to each of them. Get Jerry's, you know, pros and cons.

And get Biggs' pros and cons. And let you actually decide. Hopefully, this debate will be strong enough, that maybe even I would change my mind. I don't know.

The debate, is it time to stop arming Ukraine tonight?

9:00 p.m. BlazeTV.

Use BlazeTV.com/Glenn, and promo code Glenn, and you will save.

STU: Right.

After a brand-new Stu does America!

I think it's interesting -- I'm interested to hear Jerry Boykin's perspective on this. Because I think to summarize it as, does he agree with what the Biden administration is doing, is probably completely unfair.

GLENN: No. But I believe he believes that we need to show force here. I don't know how far. But he is hawkish on this.

STU: Right. Yeah.

He -- he believes admission is important. And there's something to gain there for the good of the United States.

GLENN: Right.

So I want to know where that -- where does that line end with him?

STU: And what are we doing wrong, right?

GLENN: Correct. Correct.

STU: Even if that mission is correct, what are we screwing up?

GLENN: By the way, the work that we're doing now at Blaze TV is so incredibly critical. You know, we don't ever talk about this.

But as far as people touched -- you know, people that are hearing, watching. Listening. Podcast. Radio. Television. Internet. All of this stuff.

I'm having the best year of my career.

And that is saying something. You know, when we left -- oh, you'll never be. That's not the same. Fame has changed, or -- or exposure has changed.

We're not seeing just these few people on TV. You have a whole host. But we have expanded our reach, dramatically in the last about three years.

And I can't --

STU: And our waistlines.

GLENN: And our waistlines. And I cannot thank you enough, for helping us build this network. We are just starting to do what I think are the work, that this network was born to do.

So join us, please. And, by the way, there's all kinds of extra things that you get. And we're working hard on coming up with some new things. We just started one, a couple of months ago, called off the record. It is a private Q and A, exclusively only for Blaze TV subscribers.

And the reason why we do it, only for Blaze TV subscribers, is because I don't want -- I -- it's not for public consumption.

It's for us. And I want you to feel comfortable, asking any question.

And I want to feel comfortable answering any question. So whatever topic is on your mind. We'll address it.

Today at 4:00 p.m. Eastern, I'm going to be doing this for the Blaze TV subscribers. I hope that's you.

If not, join us. BlazeTV.com/Glenn. Use the promo code Glenn and save.

But all our hosts do this from time to time. Today is my turn to do it.

And I hope to talk to you, today. 4:00 p.m. Eastern.

Only for Blaze TV subscribers.

Okay. I -- I want to -- I want to go back to what we were talking about. You know, the -- the -- the problems, that you are worried about, according to this new survey, are enormous.

And I think reasonable.

We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. People can't live like that.

It's very -- it's destructive to our health, and our country.

We can't live like this. So what is the cause of all of this?

Well, I would say the cause of it, is a lack of trust.

Why? Because we have a lack of faith in the truth of God. The eternal truths. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't steal. Love your neighbor. All that stuff is out.

And we are going -- we are worshiping, literally, I believe, doing ancient Moloch rituals in our lives.

Evil thinks it's winning. It's not going to. But thinks it's winning. And it is causing chaos. Now, who are the agents of chaos?

Well, I will tell you, the ones who are the agents of chaos, are fighting to limit speech.

That will only make things worse. Okay.

So some of the problems that we are facing, let's start with medicine. You hear that Amazon is now buying up huge medical company and -- Amazon will have control of your medical records. That doesn't seem like a good thing to me.

Because they always seem to miss all of the bullets. But Amazon, its original investor. One of its original investors was the CIA, only?

They also are the cloud for our Pentagon and everything else.

And where is -- where are our doctors going?

The American College of OB-GYN. Is now banning pro-life doctors.

So, again, this is like banning your free speech. They don't want any diversity. They say this is all about diversity. But not where it counts.

Where it counts is what people think, and who they are!

That's real diversity. Skin color makes no difference. I don't -- I can't believe, we're people who grew up with Martin Luther King, I have to explain this to you.

It's the content of your character. That matters. You care about skin color, you have become the racist.

So now, they're -- imagine where this is going.

Now if you're pro-life, the college of OB-GYN doesn't want you.

What will that lead to, when there's no one in that crew saying, wait a minute, can we -- can we step on the brakes here for a second?

The FBI, medicine. FBI came out, this is Christopher Ray. When was the last time Christopher Ray just got up on the stand and just vomited information?

Well, he did yesterday. He reiterated, FBI has done a lot of stuff. And we think it's really, the most likely that the Chinese lab leak was the one that caused that.

Excuse me?

Excuse me? People were canceled for that. People's lives. Doctors. Their entire careers, destroyed.

Because that is absolutely not true. And how dare you. You racist!

How dare you. Let's just keep going back. How dare you for saying that, because you're a racist. Oh, my gosh.

How -- how dare you say this about abortion. Because it's racist.

How dare you. How dare you say that the border is a mess. You racist!

All of it treks back to the same agents of chaos.

All of it!

When -- when are we going to get this, and all of us, Republican, Democrats, and independents say, to hell with politics. I don't care about politics.

This is a universal lie. So the reason why he -- they're now coming out and saying, yeah. Chinese lab leak, I think, because they're playing a war game with China.

If China wasn't thinking about arming Russia, they would be saying this. They would still be saying.

We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. They're not looking for the truth. Where is the truth with Fauci, and the Wuhan lab?

Where is EcoHealth? And the Wuhan lab. No mention of that. No, no, no, no.

Just the lab in Wuhan. Just the Chinese. Think Chinese. Think Chinese. That's racist.

And Elon Musk came out yesterday and said, yeah. And the Chinese said that he was breaking the pot of China, which is an expression for the Chinese of don't bite the hand that feeds you.

And they want him to stop drawing attention to the origins. Uh-huh. Fauci is still saying, no. We'll never know. We will never know.

Agents of chaos. They have one thing in common. They're all looking for their own power, and they're all trying to silence anyone who disagrees with them.

What is causing the stress in your life?

According to the latest poll everything!

Because you don't know what will happen tomorrow! Well, that's crazy conspiracy.

Really?

Because if I told you ten years ago, that they were going to say that men could have babies too, you would have said, how dare you say that. You're just using hyperbolic language. And you're going to get everybody stirred up.

And now?

You're silenced if you say that's not true.

Nine-year-old child taught by Debra Rosenquist, at Terryville Road Elementary School, Long Island, identifies as a girl, but was being called a boy's name and given male pronouns in class. The damning lawsuit now wielded by her parents, claims that the teacher started call the fifth grader Leo, using he/him pronouns in class, October 21, unbeknownst to the girl's parents.

It was only months later, in January 22, when the girl was caught drawing a picture of a suicidal girl with the words, I want to kill myself, that the parents finally went, wait a minute.

What -- over what?

And went to school.

They said that they had heard their child being called Leo by her friends before. But that was in reference to an astrological sign. And they didn't associate it with the male. Oh, my gosh.

It was then that the parents believed something wasn't right. They decided to look into her. They found that this teacher, on the day when the school asked pupils and teachers to wear blue in support of two police officers who were shot and killed, the teacher instead wore a Black Lives Matter T-shirt.

Gee, let's trace it back again. Can it be traced back?

Oh, yes. They revealed that Rosenquist had not only gone beyond the curriculum, teaching children about transgender. But actively encouraged the fifth graders to try being gay. Superintendent Jennifer Quinn and the school's principle both admitted to the parents in a meeting, that they knew Rosenquist was peddling this mentality in the classroom.

But because she was -- because she was tender. Tenured, they couldn't do anything about it.

Gee, teacher's unions. Huh.

She was putting books into the classroom, that were not in the curriculum, an LGBTQI2. I'm neither. She read to students also, When Aidan Becomes a Brother, which is about transitioning surgery and hormones.

She was telling the kids, that -- by the way, that book has just been banned in Florida. Oh, the outrage.

She was telling the kids, try -- try being gay. Just try being gay. Just try it out. Who knows, you might like it.

They transferred the girl to another class. But apparently, she was being bullied there, because I -- quote, I would want to kill myself too, if I didn't know if I were a boy or a girl. Literally, what is she?

This is from the kids. Literally, what is she?

Boy, girl. One day her name is Leo. And the next day her name is like, what? What is it? I don't know. What to call it.

They have dehumanized a child and taught that it, is a proper pronoun, for people you don't know the sex of.

It! There's a great evil happening in our country. And it is easy to define. We just have to start saying it, out loud.

AI bots are experiencing BRAIN ROT... and it’s happening to all of us

Are we destroying our minds with endless scrolling? Glenn reveals some shocking new evidence that Large Language Models (AI) trained on the same viral, low-quality internet junk we consume every day are experiencing rapid cognitive collapse — reasoning plummets, long-term memory vanishes, and even dark, narcissistic traits emerge. Worst of all? Even when scientists try to “detox” the AI with high-quality data, the damage is permanent. If we don’t choose to feed our minds better content — real books, deep conversation, silence, and reflection — we risk becoming a society that can’t think deeply, care deeply, or live freely… and we might be too far gone to even notice.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: The average person spends two hours and 21 minutes a day, on social media.

That's the average person! Two hours 21 minutes a day on social media.

Approximately 141 minutes every single day, scrolling.

The average American!

Our on screen time, overall, the average American spends six hours 38 minutes, every day, on screens, connected to the internet!

Oh, my gosh. Wow! Time just gone! Just vanished into -- into, what? Updates? Scrolls? What is it that we're reading?

Seriously, are we -- we exercising our soul with deep thought? Do you know that leash reading in the US has fallen?

Only 16 percent of Americans age 15-plus read for their own enjoyment on an average day? Fifteen [sic]. That number was almost 30 percent in 2003. Fewer books: US adults in 2021 said they read on average 12.6 books a year, down from 15 in 2002 to 2016.

So we're losing reading skills. We're losing deeper thought. We're losing hours of conversation. We're losing how many hours of reflection? At least minutes, maybe 100 minutes.

Our attention spans. How long can you focus on something?

You know, the second screen was different. When we first started TheBlaze, I talked about doing a second screen. Technology, and it wasn't because you couldn't watch something. They're now talking about taking your TV show or your -- your Netflix show, and dumbing it down so much because people are watching or they're scrolling while they're watching the TV. And so they can't follow a complex story line. Oh, my gosh!

We are just going to be stupid slugs. Everything that we're doing online is fracturing attention, memory, and sustained reasoning. And so at what point does this become an epidemic? At what point our are our minds starving for any kind of nutrition as we feed them calories of noise? Now let me tell you the real story. AI is holding a mirror up for us.

There's a new study that came out. LLMs can get brain rot. Okay? That caught my eye. Large language models, LLMs. They are trained on junk web content. So viral, shallow, high engagement stuff.

And all it does is it's just cataloging all this stuff and just consuming all of this stuff that we're scrolling through every day, okay? Do you know what's happening to the LLM?

It's experiencing cognitive decline. It can't -- its reasoning ability is dropping. Falling through the floor. Long context memory, gone!

And dark personality traits, psychopathic tendencies and narcissism has increased. This is within AI. Okay? And when the junk content ratio rose from zero to 100 percent, if you're just scrolling for junk, the reasoning benchmark falls from 75 percent to almost 55 percent.

Its ability to understand long -- you know, long form context, falls from 85 percent, to about 50 percent.

Now, here's the scariest part, they caught this and they're like, holy cow.

Look at what's happening to the large language model. It's completely decaying.

You know, we're just doing it for a year now, and look what's happened. It's not reasoning anymore. It's turning dark. It can't understand long form content anymore.

Let's get it off that!

Let's start putting good, clean stuff into it.

Even after retraining on clean high-quality data, the models never recover the baseline capacity.

Okay?

The rot remains!

As a man or now as a machine thinketh, so he becomes.

I just -- I've been blown away by this study, for the last few weeks. It came out a couple of weeks ago. I had it on my desk, and I wanted to tell you about it. And I just haven't had time.

And I just keep thinking. This is a machine. This is not our brain. This is -- this is a machine that is -- is using the same kind of crap.

I mean, what happens if you don't monitor what you think?

Or worse what?

When we stop thinking?

AI is teaching us a lesson. And I guarantee. This study has been out for weeks!

Never heard it, did you? Nobody is talking about it. It's screaming at us, "Hey, learn a lesson!"

When you feed nothing but lone nutrient attention-hooking, high engagement junk, the capacity to reason, to remember, and to care degrades.

Aren't we seeing this now? Do people care as much as they used to?

Nope! Can they reason?

Nope!

Can they remember what happened yesterday?

Nope. My gosh, don't worry about AI taking over, controlling us. Programming our lives. Look at ourselves. We've already -- we've already signed over our lives to an algorithm.

We're studying AI brain rot!

But is anybody studying, you know, brain, brain rot?

Maybe -- maybe we do recognize it. Maybe we do recognize it. But, you know, we're too apathetic to wean ourselves off the digital era.

It's hard. It is hard. But when the nature of what we ingest for body and mind becomes shallow, the body suffers. But mind sinks deeper.

And we live in an age where we might be less full of nourishment, but full of distraction.

We talk less. We actually listen less. We read fewer books.

You know, where our minds just flit instead of dive. Our attention span, it's almost gone. And make no mistake, this is not just a matter of convenience or lifestyle. This is creeping into the structure of who we are, individually, and collectively.

What is this going to do to -- to our children?

I mean, even if we stopped right now, and we wanted to change, we -- according to the brain rot study.

We won't get that baseline back. Do we pass this stuff on?

Is it getting to a point, to where we're just pumping out morons.

I mean, we're already doing that. I mean, really pumping out morons.

At what point is this an epidemic, where anybody even recognizes it?

When -- when is it where our ability to think critically is so diminished, we cannot be a free people?

Are we there yet?

I told you earlier, I went to the bookstore yesterday. My son and I went to the bookstore.

And I was like, we're getting books!

Because I haven't read. I've been reading online.

It's not the same. It's just not the same.

You've got -- you can't remember. Because you remember sometimes with your fingers. You remember where it is in the book. You know, I can never find anything digitally. I can never find where it is in the pook. I'm -- I'm looking for it.

I can't find it. But I know right where those facts are, if I'm reading a physical copy of a book. And, you know, deep reading. Quiet reflection. Sustained dialogue. Pretty rare! Pretty rare! Our mental health, our social health!

You know, kind of going down. You know, civic health. I wrote it. A little bit. I think we all agree with that.

Even when artificial intelligence trained on junk content degrade in reason, we still feed ourselves the same thing.

Are we going to keep doing that? Or are we going to choose to do something different?

Well, first thing, we have to get people to understand it.

Can we really?

Can we get people to actually listen to this?

And then engage again, in thoughtful reading and conversation. And meaningful silence.

It starts with awareness.

And then choice. What do you permit -- what are you going to put into your body?

What do you permit into your mind?

Otherwise, one day, we'll all look around. And we will realize.

We didn't just lose time. We lost the capacity to deeply think. Deeply connect.

Deeply live.

And then maybe again, maybe we're so stupid and shallow, we won't know.

I'm happy. Are you happy?

What was the question?

What are you saying?

Maybe that's -- maybe that's -- maybe that's a better life!

I love my family!

I don't know who my family is, but I love them! Politics. I don't vote. I haven't voted for a long time. Look at -- (laughter) TikTok! TikTok! TikTok! Okay?

It's up to us, America.

Rep. Chip Roy EXPOSES How Radical Islamic Cells are Spreading Across America

Texas officials are warning that foreign ideological networks, including CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates, and Sharia-aligned organizations, have already embedded themselves inside the state through political activism, funding pipelines, mosque expansion, Sharia courts, and aggressive community influence. Glenn Beck and Rep. Chip Roy explain why Texas is now the frontline of a coordinated movement that uses nonprofit status, immigration loopholes, campus activism, and foreign funding to undermine U.S. law and cultural stability. As Europe reels from decades of the same mistakes, Texas is declaring these groups a threat and moving to shut them down, but the question remains: Will America act in time to stop the network that’s already operating inside the country?

GLENN: So, Chip, when you saw this come from the governor, you and I have talked about things like this for a long time. This -- this -- we should have done this with CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood, a long time ago!

Instead, under -- I believe, it started really under George Bush. But then it just got worse and worse and worse.

We were letting CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood and everyone else, into our Department of Homeland Security. I mean, decades ago.

Tell me a little bit about why it's important. What Texas did.

And then let's follow it up with enforcement of that.

CHIP: Yeah. Well, first of all, you and I have talked about this for a long time, as I think I've talked to you on your show, it was the last substantive conversation I had with Charlie Kirk. Because it was very clear to me. It was clear on to him.

I think it was clear to you.

That our side, for way too long.

Even today. Thebe it's waking up. Have been asleep with the war on the left, that has been in process for decades.

Everybody is walking to London. They're waking up to Paris.

They're seeing now Dearborn. And Minneapolis.

And, oh, my gosh. Mamdani. Wait a minute. There's a problem in Texas too.

Some of us have been saying that for a while, and going back all the way to the Holy Land Foundation. Right? The Holy Land Foundation which was a Dallas/Ft. Worth issue, 25 years ago.

You and I talked about that last time. For listeners to understand how long this has gone back. You have unindicted coconspirators, associated with the Holy Land Foundation that are not tied to CAIR.

You have CAIR celebrating October 7th. You have all sorts of indications. In fact, the story yesterday in the New York Post.

Our friend Amy and her organization, they helped break that story, and having it out in the world. About the extent to which CAIR is tied, and their financial ties to the dispute issues on campuses.

All of the -- the connections that they have got with the radical terrorism, that we have to connect all of those dots.

And now, for the governor. I think, appropriately, you know, they've been targeting. They passed something in the legislature next spring.

We have to be much more aggressive. The governor is right to be aggressive here. This will have increased scrutiny and tools, and now I have to dive into exactly what those tools are, with respect to what it opens up to on the state level.

But the mere statement by the governor that both -- obviously, dealing with the Muslim Brotherhood. But CAIR. That CAIR is, in fact, an organization that we should treat as such is so critically important. Because it's masquerading as some, you know, oh, the councilman. You know, of American Islamic relations are -- it's crazy.

Like it's -- and the idea that they should get tax breaks is insane.

Which is why I introduced legislation to introduce their tax benefits.

That's the bear minimum.

I can tell you, but I can't go too far into it. Lots of really good conversations are occurring with the appropriate official law enforcement entities in Washington, to follow the money.

We've got to follow the money. I believe that there's a criminal organization, that is connecting all of these dots. You and I talked about that before.

It's not just the Islam issue. The Islamification of America, but also the Soros DAs, the open borders, Antifa. Southern Poverty Law Center. And, by the way, SPLC is now putting a target on me, because I'm daring to speak out about this.

It's all connected. It's all connected, Glenn.

GLENN: So what is it the state can do?

I mean, first of all, I think for anybody who doesn't understand, and, Texans, wake up!

If you lose Texas, you lose the West!

As Texas goes, so goes America.

And as America goes. So go the rest of the world.

And, you know, if you're looking at Dearborn. You're looking at, you know, these places in Minnesota.

And you're seeing that.

And you think that's not related to you.
It is worse in Texas. The numbers in Texas are staggering! And what they're -- I mean, just what's happening in the small little town that -- my studios are in.

It's the most diverse ZIP code in America. Las Colinas, Texas.

And I've been ringing this bell for 12 years when I first got there.

I started doing stuff on the Sharia law. The movement to bring Sharia law to Las Colinas, Texas.

And, Chip, I got to send you a copy of this interview I just did. I did it with the imams in the -- the biggest mosque in Las Colinas.

And one of them halfway through just blurted out, yeah, we all agree, hands should be chopped off if you steal. And I just let him go for a while. And it was clear, Sharia law is happening.

And now they have put these Sharia courts into place, to has come things. Because, well, it's their right to has come it as a religion.

No. No. No.

Not when it comes to usurping the Constitution of Texas or the United States of America. And that's happening now in Texas!

So give me. Give the person who is not necessarily paying attention some idea of what is coming and is here already in Texas.

JASON: Well, first of all, you know, you've got an explosive growth of the mosques that are growing in Texas.

We have over 300 and counting. More being planted in Texas, every day, than any other state in the union. You've got the Islamic center down in Houston, which is 150,000 square feet. That has major issues.

You noticed. I saw that imam down in Houston, going, well, you can't take this on the shelf.

They're trying to take over and change what should be done down here with the implementation of Sharia. There are activist Sharia courts in Texas, which the government rightly yesterday said, they're going to shut down, because they're in conflict with Texas law. And notably, what he's doing with the Declaration.

The governor is making very clear, that he connect the dots with the legislation, that the legislature passed.

With that declaration to say, no land and can be acquired with anybody associated with these organizations.

Now, again, I think this is the tip of the spear.

I think -- I don't mean this negatively. It's kind of obvious. Let's go after these guys. But there are myriad organizations that these will go after and shut down.

Let's be clear. I don't even know why we are allowing any foreign nationals to own Texas land.

GLENN: I don't either.

CHIP: Literally, let's just be very aggressive, and very clear.

I don't why massive corporations are owning our land, by the way. Separate issue, but all related. I'm bothered also by boardrooms in New York buying up our ranches and meat packing plants and everything else.

GLENN: Me too.

CHIP: Because, again, it's all related. The red/green alliance, the Marxist Islamic issue is all connected to root out and destroy western civilization. So that is to say, what the governor did is really critically important. It is a step so that we can go stop some of these things in these enclaves like Epic City.

But we need to be much more aggressive. And, again, I introduced legislation as you know to vet people for Sharia law and adherence to Sharia law when we're admitting them to the United States.

But today, I'm filing a bill called The Pause Act, to pause all immigration, until we have sorted our crap out, until we dealt with H-1Bs. Until we got rid of diversity and -- diversity chain migration. So we dealt with the veto, which, by the way, we need to challenge, which is the Supreme Court case thing that says we must educate illegal children. Until we've dealt with birthright citizenship. Until we've cleaned up our mess.

Until we've put in place, standards for not admitting people that are inherent to Sharia Law. Why are we importing more people?

Let's put Americans to work. Let's stop destroying our culture. Let's freeze it in Texas. Let's do exactly what the governor is doing, and more!

STU: Did you see what's happening in Germany?

In Germany, one of their ministers said, there's no longer a problem in Syria. The war is over. It's peaceful. Everyone in Germany who came for refugee status to Germany, you're all going home. Now, they're not going to do it. However, they did strip citizenship from a Serbian immigrant who praised Hamas as heroes. And this same minister came out and said, you know, your citizenship has to be contingent on shared systems of values.

And they're starting, at least to talk about stepping -- stepping up.

I think this is the right thing to do. Have we thought about -- have we thought about if you have refugee status, and your part of the world has now calmed down going, get out. Go home.

CHIP: Absolutely, we should do that. We have been talking about that, and the need to reverse, frankly, the abuse. There's two elements, okay? The reversal of the abuse of asylum, parole, refugee laws that were abused. Right?

You had people coming in, who really weren't in need of refugee status. Or weren't actually qualified for asylum. And they were abusing paroles on a case-by-case basis. So there's that whole mess. Then when you have a legitimate case for asylum or for refugee status, then we should review those. And say, okay. Guess what? They have calmed down. You can go back! Those are very specific provisions and laws.

You know, they're designed for that specific persecution, or very specific situations in war and otherwise. And when that's no longer the case, then you no longer have the reason to have that qualified status in the United States. So we should address that.

But let's remember, Glenn, I think it's so important, that we have to understand. Like, we're talking about the Muslim Brotherhood. I don't have it right in front of me. But I read that the proclamation by the governor. He was pointing out, that, you know, when that organization was founded like 100 years ago, or something.

Early last century. That it was founded. It was very specific about jihad. And very specific about jihad being an obligation.

Right.

And if that obligation comes from Allah. And that's for everybody adherent to Islam, in the eyes of the Muslim Brotherhood. And so understand what's happening!

And people need to realize that. Because this is -- everybody wants to go and say, well, you know, we can't talk about the First Amendment.

Bull! That is not true. Okay?

First of all, we can talk about it because of the First Amendment. Second of all, we can talk about it, because, yes. You can believe what you want. Right?

Our Constitution. Our Bill of Rights says that. But when you are turning that into a political movement, designed very specifically. To undermine our country.

And you undermine the rule of law. Then, no.

You do not have a right to do that. You certainly don't have a right to be admitted into our country.

And we need to recognize that and address it, or we're going to lose. And then we're going to be like Germany. And we're going to be like London or we're going to be like Paris. And we will be looking around going, what do we do now?

Right? We have 10 percent of the population, and growing. And, you know, 1500 seats in elected officials throughout the United Kingdom.

You've got 85 jurisdictions in Scotland, where they can choose Sharia law instead of -- as an alternative to Scottish law. We can't get to that point.

We have to stop this right now.

Democrats in Congress CROSSED a Red Line that We Can NEVER Accept

America just crossed a constitutional red line — and Glenn Beck breaks down why this moment may be the one historians look back on as the final warning before national fracture. From Congress signaling military insubordination, to judges erasing separation-of-powers, to a cultural class obsessed with ideology instead of safeguarding the republic, the “Bubba Effect” is now in full force. Glenn explains why collapsing institutions, media silence, and public distrust are creating a perfect storm — and why citizenship, not rage, is the only path to restoring the republic. Are we witnessing the moment America snaps, or the moment Americans finally wake up?

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

We're glad you're here. I want to talk to you today. Today's theme of the show is the Bubba Effect. Because it's here. And we are seeing it in full force. I will show it to you in Dearborn, Michigan. I will show it to you with Nick Fuentes. I will show it to you, with Epstein.

And I just showed it to you, a different kind of the Bubba Effect, institutional Bubba Effect. With that statement that came out, you know, telling the troops to, you know, disown, you know, the president. Or don't -- don't follow orders.

Question orders.

And you should do that. And that is something they're taught in the military. But they're taught within the system.

You know, it's not just that they made a message to the military.

They sent that message.

Imagine if the Duma would have sent that message to Putin. And we received it, and saw it. We would be like, their government is fall apart.

Their military is falling apart.

Look at this. What message is that sending to China and Russia and all their allies.

It's bad. It's very bad. There is a moment in every republic. Every empire. Every nation. The historians will look back and say, yep. That was it.

That was the biggest warning. That was the last warning.

And I think we are living in that moment right now.

When Congress told active duty military to ignore the orders of the commander-in-chief, you've got a problem.

When you can't get a federal judge impeached, because he approved something that has never been done in American history.

Granting one branch of the government, the right to secretly surveil the other without notice.

You have to -- constitutionally, you must notify you're under surveillance.

Okay?

If they're doing a mass thing. You have to notify.

Because that's a second branch!

Otherwise, you break up the branches, okay?

These are not political stories.

These are constitutional earthquakes.

And no one is talking about them! So now the question is: What now?

What has to happen, if the republic has to survive the stress of these fractures. That everybody seems to be creating or dancing on.

Let me outline it plainly here. Because all of us have a role. One, Congress. Congress, you have to discipline your own. If lawmakers can publicly encourage military resistance without consequence, then Congress has surrendered its moral authority.

You cannot police the executive branch. You can't oversee the intelligence agencies. You can't demand transparency, if you cannot police your own members.

Censure is not vengeance. It's maintenance. It's routine. It's necessary.
Constitutional maintenance. And if Congress refuses to do it, then the precedent remains. It gets worse.

And history shows us, no nation survives a politicized military. Ever!

Two, the military.

You to have restate the -- the chain of command.

Publicly and immediately. The Joint Chiefs don't need a press conference. They don't need hearings. They just need to say, the United States armed forces obey all lawful orders of the president.

That sentence, those exact words, that's the firewall between an American republic, and every failed nation in history.

The silence so far is not reassuring.

Three, the judiciary.

Especially the Supreme Court. Close the door on the book -- the Boasberg case! He opened a door that is so dangerous.

No judge, no matter how noble his intentions, has the authority to rewrite the separation of powers.

If one branch can secretly spy on another, then you have no checks and balances! You had a surveillance government. The Supreme Court must intervene. Not Trump! Not even Congress. But for the survival of coequal branches, if they don't, this is the new normal!

And you don't come back from that one, either! And now, the hardest part, the that one everybody talks about. Nobody does. The role of the cultural leaders and people like me in the media. In a functioning republic, this is supposed to be where the media steps in!

This is where the cultural leaders. The voices, left, right, center, stop obsessing over click bait. And start explaining to the people, what just happened. Why it's unprecedented, why it matters. How we as citizens need to respond. But look around. Do you see anyone in the press doing that?

Do you see anyone in Hollywood, doing that?

Do you see anyone in academia doing that? No. You don't. Because America's cultural class no longer sees its role as the guardian of the republic. Who is the guardian?

They're guardians of ideology. So what do we do?

Well, we do what Americans have always done, when institutionals fail. We step in our self. But if we don't care, that's it.

The Founders never trusted the press.

They trusted the people.

So that's where we are now.

And we all have to model what a responsible media. Or a responsible citizen should be doing.

So let me show you right now, how a responsible broadcaster responds to a constitutional breach.

My fellow Americans. This is not about Donald Trump.

This is not about Democrats. This is not about Republicans.

It's not how you vote.

This is about whether the military stays under civilian authority.

Whether our adversaries overseas are given the indication that we are ripe for the taking. This is about judges, that want to erase the separation of powers!

The separation of power is what has kept this constitutional republic going for all of these years!

Most importantly, this is about whether your children will inherit a functioning republic. And if the mainstream media won't tell you, then I will!

That right there, is the job. To preserve the republic!

So our children and grandchildren and that is what we all should be doing. That's what the press should be doing. That's what the cultural figures should be doing.

You call out the violations of Constitutional order, no matter who benefits. No matter who gets angry. No matter what tribe demands your silence. This is what leadership looks like!

This is wrong! This has never been done before. This breaks Constitutional boundaries.

And it has to be corrected immediately!

Americans, you understand the Bubba Effect is here. And it's everywhere!

You're going to see people that you're like, well, he's really wrong on that! And that's really outrageous. And I don't agree with that.

But at least he's right on this one!

And it will always be to question the system. To break it down.

So what do you do?

Well, you don't riot. You don't panic. You don't is it fair. We're headed into Thanksgiving. Give thanks for the crosses that we bear. Give thanks because our liberty, our freedom, should we decide to keep it, will be more valuable to us.

But you should call your representatives. I'm so sick of calling my representatives. But you should do it anyway.

You need to demand transparency. You need to insist on consequences! Don't normalize what is happening. Well, they're all like that! Stop it!
Stop it.

If that's what you expect, that is what you will get. But understand this: The cure for Constitutional drift is not rage. The answer is not anger. It's not division. It is citizenship!

It's also not apathy. If we sleep through this, the system will break, guaranteed.

But if you wake up, stand up, and insist on boundaries, eventually it will happen! I know you're tired.

I know you don't want to do it anymore. I know you're just desperate for an answer. Because the time is running short.

But now is not the time to act in -- in ways where we dishonor ourselves. In ways where we -- we throw in with a lot. We're like, that's really bad!

But at least they're pointing it out. You point it out! Once you start standing up, once we as a people, all you need is 20 percent! Twenty percent. Anywhere between 15 and 20 percent of the American people. If they understand the Constitution, if they understand the Bill of Rights. If they understand that God has put us in this place, at this time, and each of us have a reason to live!

We're here for a reason!

Everything snaps back into place!

It always has!

From 1800 to 1868 to 1974.

Institutions bend.

People break. But the Constitution can be restored.

But if -- and only if, you know it, you love it. You never betray it yourself, and you demand it of the people who represent us.

THIS could FINALLY land Epstein’s enablers IN JAIL

New evidence suggests that JPMorgan Chase overlooked 5,000 "yellow ticket" suspiciouos activity flags connected to Jeffrey Epstein, which resulted in #1.$ BILLION in sketchy transactions. Glenn Beck explains why this may be the scandal that finally brings some of Epstein's enablers to justice.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So where does the real story lie with the Epstein story? And I think it's the money, okay?

That's the real story. I'll tell you about the billions who have gone to terrorists from the US and Minnesota taxpayers here in a second.

And when I talk about that, what most people will do, is they'll fight over ICE.

They'll say it's Islamophobia. They'll fight over CAIR. Whatever. USAID, when that went down. Well, that's just about feeding hungry children. It's all misdirection, to get you away from the money. So let me bring this now to Epstein.

When a banker detects suspicious activity, when they see something that looks like money laundering. Human trafficking. Tax evasion. Sending money overseas to terrorists. They don't send a polite note to the supervisor, in hopes somebody reads it.

They are required by federal law, after 9/11, to file what is called a SAR. It's a Suspicious Activity Report.

A SAR.

They have to report that directly to the US Treasury Department. Through FinCEN. Financial center of crimes. Okay?

Once a SAR is filed. The bank isn't even allowed to tell you that they filed it. They just hit send. It's locked. The Treasury is notified. Now, this system like I said, was built after 9/11.

Built after decades of financial corruption.

A system design that no single banker. No single executive. No single billionaire can make illicit money and then have it just disappear offshore.

This is -- this is activated. If you draw $10,000 out, of your account. You are moving $10,000. You get a SAR report. And it goes directly to the Treasury. And when the bank flags something suspicious, it's called -- the SAR is called a yellow ticket. And it's not a suggestion. It's not a memo. It is a federal alert. That triggers monitoring by the Treasury, the FBI, Homeland Security. Depending on what the flags indicate. Now, that you understand that, let me talk to you about Jeffrey Epstein.

Between 2002 and 2016, JPMorgan Chase filed seven SARS. Seven yellow tickets on Epstein. Seven! Over 14 years. Those reports flagged a grand total of $4.3 million in sketchy activity.

Okay. It's all -- you know, it's a decade replace plus, $4 million.

You can make all kinds of excuses for that. Right? But after Epstein died, when the government finally unsealed the sex trafficking details, details that they had held on to for years. JP Morgan Chase suddenly panicked. Because the floodgates suddenly opened. In 2019, two SARS were flagged. Two SARS were sent to the Treasury.

They flagged over 5,000 suspicious wire transfers. We're not talking $4 million.

This is 1.3 billion dollars. Five thousand suspicious activity transfers, and transactions, of 1.3 billion dollars.

Now, let me just say this clearly, so nobody really misses the gravity of this. You do not accidentally forget to report 5,000 suspicious wires.

You don't like, where did we put that $1.3 billion.

Okay. You don't misplace a billion dollars in wires, to foreign banks and Shell companies, connected to then a convicted sex offender under federal investigation. It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen.

It doesn't happen, because a Jr banker made a mistake.

It doesn't happen because the compliance officer was sleepy. It doesn't happen because somebody's inbox was full.

To not report that level of suspicious activities directly to the Treasury, first of all, is against all federal law.

And at a minimum, multiple officers, multiple departments. Multiple signoffs, choosing not to look.

$1.3 billion. 5,000 suspicious activities. Hmm.

Why?

Why did nobody report that?

Well, now, according to internal emails, JP Morgan Chase held off the filing of the SARS. Now, let me ask you this: If you had one suspicious -- if you withdrew $10,000 from your bank, are you really clear that your bank would do what the federal government directs. And I have to report this.

And it's going to go to the Treasury. Are you clear that they would do that on you?

Because the answer is, yes, they would. Federal law requires it!

But the bank decided, well, we want to continue to work with Epstein. He's valuable. He's connected. He's a referral engine to some of the richest people in the world.

He had sensitivities according to the bank. Wire transfers to Russian banks. Wire transfers to Shell corporations. Wire transfers from a guy who is engaged in sex trafficking.

Links to top political figures. Relationships with two US presidents. Both of whom Epstein at various times claimed to be very, very close with.

Let me explain: Something that most people don't know. Banks file SARS, suspicious activity reports, to the Treasury, for far less than this.

$10,000. They flag it. A business wires to an unusual location. They flag it!

It's sent to the Treasury. A client sends repetitive round number transfers to an unknown entity. They flag it!

It goes to the Treasury. A wire connected to anything resembling terror or human trafficking or exploitation. They flag it right now.

Banks don't wait for a 5,000 -- for 5,000 suspicious transactions. They don't wait. They file over one!

So how did Epstein get through 5,000 suspicious activity reports without triggering any alarms.

Not because the alarms were broken. Because they weren't. It's because somebody turned them off.

I would like to know who turned those off.
I would like to know, why they were turned off? I would like to know, if it was just the leadership of the bank. I would like to know, that every single one of those bank officers. All the way to the top, go to prison!

Not some slap on the wrist. Not some, well, you're well-connected. So we're going to let this other guy pay for it.

I want all of them in prison. You broke federal law!

Something we all -- all of us have to abide by.

We -- we have had our Treasury. We've had our government snoop into our lives. Watch everything we do. And we're not connected to human trafficking. We're not selling children. We're not convicted felons.

We're not transferring 1.3 billion dollars after we've been convicted.

SARS are not -- these suspicious activity reports, they are not decided by a single teller. They have to pass -- they pass through compliance teams. Risk divisions. Bank lawyers. Federal liaison officers. This isn't one bad apple. It's an entire system. And Senator Wyden, no conservative firebrand, I might point out, is now openly saying what everybody knows privately. JP Morgan Chase should face criminal investigations, and it should go all the way to the top!

And it should not be civil. It should be criminal. Because if you or I did this, if we had sent just a handful suspicious wires, the bank would freeze your account, notify the Treasury, before you could blink!

But Jeffrey Epstein, a billion dollars worth of exceptions. Hmm. Hmm.

Wow. That seems much more important than a stupid birthday card!

Let me ask you this, the question the DOJ doesn't want to touch.

How many people does it take inside a bank to make 5,000 suspicious transactions just vanish for 17 years? Is it five people? Is it ten? Is it a department head, a board member?

Five thousand. 1.3 billion dollars. Was Epstein. Did it happen because Epstein was useful to the powerful?

So nobody wanted to know. Did this happen because others were involved?

Does it really matter what their excuse was?

Here's the terrifying question. If a bank can look the other way on $1.3 billion for a sex trafficker. What else have the banks learned to ignore?

Hmm.

I'm beginning to think the banks are a real problem. Hmm.

There's a new idea.

This story isn't just about Epstein.

This is about the machinery that allowed him to operate. All of the middleman. All of the financial networks. All of the institutions, that treated him like an asset, instead of a criminal.

And I do believe he was an asset. Intelligence asset.

I do believe he was probably an asset to our intelligence. Although, you I hear both sides.

No, no, no. That's not true. Oh, yes. It's definitely true.

I don't know what the truth is. I don't think it's unreasonable to say, he was an asset for a foreign government. Maybe Israel.

Maybe somebody else. I don't know.

But also an asset for us.

That helps all the. Apparently.

We do all kinds of horrible things. Why not?

Senator Wyden says, he wants to follow the money.

Well, good!

For the first time in a long time, maybe the money is finally pointing us somewhere. And it's not just here.

And, by the way, if anybody still believes this ends with one dead man in jail. I don't think you're paying attention!

Because this is where it really leads.
