LEAKED China audio unveils possible plan to INVADE Taiwan

Is China preparing to invade Taiwan? Leaked audio that appears to be legit would seem to point to that as a strong possibility. Jason Buttrill joined Glenn to discuss and analyze what the timetable might be. It may not be tomorrow but it's happening soon... ish.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Jason Buttrill is with us. He is the main writer, researcher for the Glenn Beck television program.

And he is also our national security expert. He was with naval intelligence for a long time. And can tell us about a new audio tape that has come out of China. Smuggled out of China. That apparently shows that they are preparing for an invasion of Taiwan.

I've got several questions on this. First, Jason, why don't you bring everybody up to speed, on what it is, what they're saying.

JASON: Well, so first a quick little correction. You say naval intelligence. I'm about to invade your office, because Marine Corps intelligence.

GLENN: Same thing. You're on boats.

JASON: Bigger.

(laughter)

GLENN: My apologies. My apologies to every marine. Just said it to set him off. Go ahead.

JASON: Yeah. So this is -- this is -- like a council meeting of their war mobilization.

So I want to make that clarification. Because this does appear to be legitimate. They are talking about a massive war mobilization effort, on basically this is theory crafting. What do we need to do?

So where do we need to get conscripts. How do we retrofit ships to get the amount? Which they're guessing in this meeting, will take about 953 ships, which is oddly very specific.

And they also talk about 140,000 soldiers. They're talking about private companies, that need to be utilized. Yeah. I say private in air quotes. Public/private. Nobody.

GLENN: Yeah, no, it's a partnership. It's a public partnership. It's what we will be soon. But go ahead.

JASON: 140,000 soldiers. They just go on. Very good detail. It goes on for about 56 minutes. I've looked at some of the -- well, I've looked at all the nations. I've matched up all the faces. These are real people. This does appear to be legitimate. I do want to say though, that they're just one part of this massive -- you know -- you know, structure that's within China. That's looking at invading Taiwan. And make no mistake. Invading Taiwan is a national security necessity for China. They will try it eventually. When is up to, you know, interpretation. I think they're still very far off. At least ten years off.

GLENN: Yeah. Now, wait a minute. Hang on just a second. And I think anybody in the intelligence community. Because I've talked to several of them. Would agree with you. We're at least five years off. Between five and ten. Is this different than what we do with the pentagon?

I mean, we should have a plan on, you know, invading Canada, in case they went crazy. That's what they should do, is have a plan for anything. Is that what this is?

JASON: Yes. I think that's what this is. But it has a little more teeth. So when I was in the intelligence community, we did a lot of war gaming. You know, for multiple different countries stop we had to plan in place. If it was -- you know, we needed.

I think the difference here is that this is their -- let's say, it was our national security imperative, that we invade Cuba. And we -- and everyone knew we were going to do it at some point. Then this would be a lot more worrisome. That showed we were this far ahead in the planning. That's a different tear. They will do this soon. They will, in the future.

GLENN: Yeah. So soon for the Chinese, which could be 500 years away.

Let me ask you the next obvious question. In a state, that has total surveillance, total surveillance, and records of everybody, cell phone, what it's doing. Where it's been.

Who smuggled this out? How did it get out? And is it intentionally let out?

JASON: Yeah. Yeah. So there's -- so I was kind of getting to this a little bit earlier. But there's multiple different factions that are looking at this. There's the war mobilization faction like this. Like, their job is to make sure that if we do this, we're prepared to do it. Now, there are other factions in the Communist Party, that are like, are you looking at the geopolitical perspective right now. Are you looking at what's happening in Russia with Ukraine.

We're trying to get our economy going the way it's been going, the past ten, 15 years. That's not going to happen. That's a full stop. Everything they want to get done. What's -- can you imagine what happens to (inaudible), if what happens to Russia happens to them? It completely goes away.

So there are those factions in the CCP. That say, wait a minute. Let's take a step back. Yes. We agree. We have to do this in the future. But this is not something we should be thinking about in the near term.

GLENN: Do you really think it goes -- do you really think that all goes away?

If they take Taiwan, and somebody doesn't blow up the high-tech plants, they control like 99 percent of every chip, and most importantly, the hardest chips to make. That's all in Taiwan.

You really think that, you know, countries fold all the time, because they need something.

JASON: Yeah.

And the issue with Taiwan, looking at the economic perspective, it's almost mutually assured destruction. If you go after Taiwan. You're also critically damaging the Chinese economy. They do a massive amount of business with Taiwan. It's almost like an Achilles' heel that kind of shoves this invasion way down the line, because China is just not ready for it right now.

They don't have a purely, you know, domestic economy. It's purely based off of exports. Purely based off of exports.

And massive amounts of Taiwan. So they're just not ready. I do believe the United States -- I don't think that they can take Taiwan. Not as long as the United States navy is what it is. In the -- I do not believe they can do it. And look at what these numbers.

What they're talking about. 140,000 soldiers. Over 20 airfields and docks. 953 ships. That is -- look at the mobilization that happened in Russia and Ukraine. We were able to see that, you know, months ahead of schedule. This amount of mobilization. I mean, they're going to start, six months later, they'll be ready.

So what will happen, once this starts going down. The United States navy is going to push massive amounts of hardware, you know. Multiple fleets into that area.

GLENN: If we have the fuel. If we had the fuel.

JASON: Start blocking everything off. Yeah. That's right.

GLENN: So did you read my Davos, EF executive summary that I got?

JASON: Yes.

GLENN: Okay. Can we go through this a bit?

Because Al Gore spoke at the Davos meeting yesterday. He was part of the panel, turning up the heat on green washing. And during the panel, Al Gore and other panelists lamented the fact that far too many companies pledged to lower their carbon emissions, but only a small percentage actually followed through with their commitment. It's what they call green washing. So his solution to dealing with the inaccurate reporting of CO2 conditions. A network of satellites that can track CO2 emissions, down to an incredibly detailed level.

He says, according to an S&P report, on more than 5,000 companies. Only 37 percent had any emissions target at all, for scope number one and scope number two emissions. Only 24 percent have net zero targets. And of the companies that have set emission targets. Less than half are aligned with the science-based approach. To even 2 degrees. Much less 1.5 degrees. 58 percent of the companies don't even report their scope, three emissions.

Let alone have a plan to reduce them. And in a recent poll, 1500 business executives from 16 cubs. Only 36 percent said their companies have tools to measure the progress on sustainability.

So he says, green washing is a major obstacle to solve the climate crisis, made up of falsehoods, clever PR. And it's got to stop.

Al Gore then shares the exciting news. We're about to enter the age of radical transparency.

Now, just hear this. And, Jason, chime in at any time. Entering an age of radical transparency. Not for you to be able to see into the government. Not for you to see into the elites. But for the elites to see into everything in your life. He said, I've been among those who have formed a new coalition called climate trace. Which stands for tracking realtime atmospheric carbon emissions. He says, it's a coalition of artificial intelligence. Technology companies. NGOs. And universities. Using data from 300 existing satellites from multiple countries. Ground, sea, and airbased sensors, and internet data streams, to machine learning. To create algorithms for every single sector and subsector of the economy.

This October will publish the world's first inventory of exactly where the greenhouse gas emissions are coming from. And in what amounts. He said, it's going to make a dramatic difference. So investors, supply chain managers, NGOs, prioritizing their campaigning activities, financial institutions. If they want to know where the emissions are coming from upstream and downstream, it's all going to be laid out for the world to see.

That's a little frightening.

JASON: Radical transparency. Why do you have to always add the word radical to everything? Come on, man. Yeah. This is not surprising to me. Next week, we will be talking about on the Glenn Beck special. About a lot of the executive orders. A lot of the transformation. Which already has gone down in the bureaucracy. Which they call, a, quote, all of government approach. Which a lot of us didn't pay attention to. But the more we've been looking into it. It is shocking the amount of the alphabetic bureaucratic agencies that are already moving in that direction.

So if they're talking about private companies, using satellites to do this, do we not think that, you know, the Department of Homeland Security is not already doing this as well?

GLENN: All of them are.

JASON: I mean, in their own words. That's their main priority right now. A couple of weeks ago, the FCC, just issued out sweeping new proposals on mandating -- I'm sorry. Public companies. To disclose their climate footprint and their carbon emissions. And it's hilarious that they even have to mandate it. Because there are groups, that we have a letter, directly from one of the biggest banks in the country. That says, they're already doing this. They say, we applaud you in you. Making it official. We've all been doing this now for several years. They're already doing it. They don't even have to green washing, whatever. A lot of these companies are already on board. Did you see the second half of those notes, Glenn, the first movers coalition?

GLENN: Yeah. Let me take a break, and come back on this. This is something that John Kerry talked about. The first movers coalition. That is the public/private partnership, that the White House announced a few months ago.

GLENN: This is the Glenn Beck Program. All right. So John Kerry, we're back with Jason Buttrill. And he is talking to us about the World Economic Forum. And Davos. Day three. Jason. The first movers coalition. This is John Kerry, yesterday. Talking about, you know, when we first got together a year ago, with Joe Biden. He announced 35 companies, that were coming in on the first movers. A public/private partner ship with the White House.

And now it's up to 55 companies. What does that mean?

JASON: And this was just the 55 companies that are publicly announcing that they're in this public/private.

GLENN: Correct.

JASON: We know there are far more than just 55.

GLENN: Well, no, but these 55. $9 trillion in worth. And these 55 represent 50 percent of all global GDP.

JASON: It's insane.

GLENN: That's a little crazy.

JASON: This is, again, something we will highlight in our show next week. It's a must watch show. You have to next week. But we will highlight some of the wordings they used, in Biden barrage of executive orders.

And reading some of this stuff, it's just blowing my mind. They're stating, and this coalition is all part of this.

Is they're intentionally trying to manipulate the markets. They don't care. I mean, they're trying to manipulate the markets. They know the United States government is actually the largest purchaser of goods in the entire world. In the entire world. So they're directing all these companies to judge on board what the federal government is already doing. Which is intentionally, only buying certain things that they agree with. Like only things they consider hoe carbon footprint. If you work in some of these industries, that are considered high carbon footprint. Or your social and governance is not on par than what they want. Then they are trying to intentional manipulate the market. To drive you out of business. Or, you know, if your business goes out. Then you are intentional driven out of a job. They really do not care. But that's what this is about. They're intentionally trying to manipulate the market. And radically transform the economy.

GLENN: And that's --

JASON: Not only the United States economy. The global economy.

GLENN: And that's the lie that Biden keeps saying, you know, none of his stuff is affecting the gas price.

JASON: Yeah.

GLENN: All of his stuff, including from the World Economic Forum and The Great Reset. That's the point of the great reset. Is to get rid of fossil fuels and oil and gas. And we're going to pay an extraordinary price in human lives, in starvation. Wealth. And progress. This is so dangerous. What they are doing right now.

We'll have all of those. Thank you, Jason. We'll have all of this. And updates on what every agency is doing. And wait until we tell you what FEMA is doing, next Wednesday, on the Glenn Beck special. Next Wednesday. Join us at BlazeTV.com/Glenn.

Has THIS Islamist organization BROKEN state laws for YEARS?!

A new report accuses CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of breaking state laws with its political activism. Glenn Beck reviews this story...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So let me go over what is -- what's happening with -- with CAIR.

You know, the Founding Fathers were obsessed over accountability.

Because they knew one thing. You know, they did. They must get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets. They studied every single system of government.

Every single republic that survived. That didn't survive.

Why didn't it survive?

They studied all forms of government. They were trying to come up with something that could -- could set people free.

And they -- they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place, because they knew, once power slips into the shadows. They knew, once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored from law, what rises is not a republic.

It's a machine. And that's what you're seeing right now. We're not living in a republic. We're living in a machine.

We -- I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever! Okay.

There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups. One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.

And they have concluded now that the political arm of CAIR, he known as CAIR action, has been operating nationwide with no legal authority, to do the things it has been doing for years now.

They're not allowed to raise money. They've been raising money. Coordinating political campaigns.

Not allowed to do it. Endorsing candidates. Not allowed to do it, they're doing it. Mobilizing voters, shaping policy, functioning as a national advocacy network.

They don't have the legal authority to do any of it. And no one has said anything.

Now, according to the report, CAIR action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.

Investigators found, state by state, that it lacks the license, the registrations. The charitable authorizations, required to legally solicit money.

Excuse me. Or conduct political activity, in any of the 22 states in which it operates. Think of that!

I know how serious this is, because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state, for Mercury One.

So we could operate. We could raise money. We could do things in those states. It's a lot of work. And if you don't do it, you go to jail. And they find out pretty quickly.

Okay?

22 states, they operate not one, zero legal authorization.

In Washington, DC, the city where CAIR action is incorporated, the department of licensing and consumer protection told investigators, they have no record of CAIR action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.

Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.

How long would you remain in business, if you never had a business license?

You think somebody would figure that out?

In a sooner time than I don't know. A couple of decades!

This report means, that the organization if true, is engaging in unlicensed inner state solicitation.

It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation. Wire fraud and false statements to the IRS. These are big things.

And this is not political rhetoric.

Are these phrases written in black and white. In the law.

And by investigators. In California, one of CAIR's most active hubs. The state attorney general has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here!

The state of California, to say, yep. That's what's happening here.

CAIR action has never registered with California's charitable registry.

Never filed the required CT1 form. And has no authorization whatsoever to request donations. But they've been doing it in California anyway.

Fundraising, selling memberships. Issuing endorsements. Mobilizing voters. All of that has been done by CAIR action. There's no record of any license. Any permission, ever. Going to CAIR. From California. That's according to their attorney general.

Wow!

That's pretty remarkable, huh? How does that happen?

It's not just the coast. It is also happening to the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West. Every state hosting its own CAIR action fundraising page, complete with the donate now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate. That's bad!

Now, here's where the stakes rise.

Because CAIR action presents itself openly, as the political arm of CAIR National.

Investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity.

Could become CAIR's national responsibility as well.

So, in other words, the parent, CAIR itself, might be held responsible.

Meaning, this is want just a rogue subdivision.

This could implicate the entire National Organization of CAIR.

Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny. It's also Texas.

And I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations. I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.

How long have we been saying this?

But every time, I have pointed out anything about CAIR, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down. That is a word, developed by people like CAIR, to shut people down, so you'll never look into them.

So what happens next?

First of all, the reports have to hold up.

Regulators now have an obligation. Not a choice. An obligation to act!

State attorneys general in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.

All of them need to take action!

The IRS, needs to take action. Investigate tax exempt fraud. Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations.

Anything coming from overseas.

Oh, I can't imagine it. They're so buttoned up, right now.

DC regulators may determine whether CAIR actions entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.

But here's the deeper question. And it's not bureaucratic. This one is constitutional.

Can the United States tolerate an influence machine, that operates outside of the legal framework, designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?

If I hear one more time, talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated. Fine. Investigate.

I'm not against it.

Investigate.

Why aren't you saying anything about CAIR?

It feels like it might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.

Why aren't you saying anything about this?

Because here it is! It's not like, hey. I wonder why.

This is it! This is it! This isn't about silencing CAIR. Muslim Americans are -- that are full citizens, they have every right to speak. Every right to vote. Every right to organize. Participate in public life. No question! They can disagree with me, all they want.

But no organization. None! Not mine. Not yours. Not theirs. None. Should operate a nationwide political network, in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow!

That's called a fourth branch of government!

That's how a fourth branch goes.

By the way, CAIR has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security. Et cetera, et cetera. This organization has done it!

This is -- you cannot have a fourth branch of government.

They must abide by the laws.

No -- you can't have a branch that nobody elected. Nobody oversees.

Nobody holds accountable.

We talked about this yesterday, on yesterday's podcast. So what needs to happen is total transparency. CAIR action has to release its filings. Its donor structure. Its compliance records, if they exist. Equal enforcement under the law. I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.

Look, if AIPAC is doing the same thing. AIPAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
I want it equal. I want constitutional rule.

If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental, Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does CAIR action.

And if CAIR action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists, and pro-Israel and conservative groups. The law cannot be selective. It can't be!

I don't know how that's controversial in today's world. But somehow or another, they will find a way.

The Feds have to review all of this. If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.

Americans deserve to know what exactly, who is influencing our elections. Who is shaping our policy? Who is raising money in their state?

Especially physical the organization claims political authority, that it doesn't legally possess.

Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson. When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum!

Unregulated, political power abhors a free people. So while it's about CAIR, it's not about Muslim Americans. It's not about religion.

As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.

One standard for everyone or no standard at all!

And that more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

Glenn Beck WARNS Democrats Will Return with VENGEANCE in 2026 | Glenn TV | Ep 473

America is entering a year of historic upheaval from Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the spiritual shock that followed, to Trump’s tariff revolution, China’s rare-earth war, collapsing energy grids, AI displacement, and the looming fights over Taiwan and Venezuela. Glenn sits down with BlazeTV hosts ‪@deaceshow‬ and ‪@lizwheeler‬ along with his head researcher Jason Buttrill, to break down the biggest stories of 2025. Plus, they each give their most explosive prediction for 2026 that could shape our politics, economy, national security, and civil rights in ways Americans have never experienced before.

Trump Just SHATTERED the “Expert Class” - And the Deep State is in Total Panic

For nearly a century, Washington DC has been ruled by an unelected “expert class” operating as an unconstitutional fourth branch of government — accountable to no one, removable by no president, and shielded from all consequences. Glenn breaks down why Trump’s firing of the Federal Trade Commissioner could finally dismantle the 1935 precedent that empowered technocrats, how Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed the Supreme Court’s embrace of expert rule, and why America cannot survive a government run by people who never face the voters and never pay for their failures.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So President Donald Trump fired the federal trade commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Federal Trade Commission is an administrative position. I mean, this is under -- the head of the federal trade commission is a cabinet member.

And if the justices uphold Trump's firing of Slaughter, that will overturn a precedent that was horrible, that was set in 1935. Remember, 1935, we're flirting with fascism. You know, everybody thinks. Because they haven't seen the horrors of fascism yet.

Everybody thinks fascism is neat, blah, blah. So what they do is they say that this is an independent person. And the president can't fire them. Because they're, you know, an independent agency.

Well, wait. That would make a fourth branch of government. Our Constitution is really clear.

There is no such thing as a fourth branch of government. Right?

So that's what they're deciding. Now, here is Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is talking about how we really need to listen to the experts. Cut four.

VOICE: Because presidents have accepted that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency. That it is in the best interest of the American people to have certain kinds of issues, handled by experts. Who, and I think you -- in your colloquy, Justice Kagan, have identified the fact that these boards are not only experts, but they're also nonpartisan. So the -- the seats are actually distributed in such a way, that we are presumably eliminating political influence because we're trying to get to science and data and actual facts, related to how these decisions are made.

And so the real risk, I think, of allowing non- -- of allowing these kinds of decisions to be made by the president, of saying, everybody can just be removed when I come in, is that we will get away from those very important policy considerations.

VOICE: We will get away from US policy considerations, and it will create opportunities for all kinds of problems that Congress and prior presidents wanted to avoid, risks that flow inevitably, just given human nature, the realities of the world that we live in.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, remember, what she's saying here is, we have to have experts.

We have to have experts. We have to have experts that don't really answer to anybody. Okay?

They're appointed. And then they're just there. This from a, quote, judicial expert, who cannot define a woman, because she's not a doctor.
She's not a scientist.

She needs an expert to define a woman.
That's how insane her thinking is. Okay?

Now, I would just like to ask the Supreme Court, when you want things run by experts, do you mean things like the State Department, or the counsel of foreign relations, that have gotten us into these endless war wars for 100 years?

Because these are the things that Woodrow Wilson wanted. He wanted the country run by experts.

Okay. So is it like the Council of Foreign Relations, that keep getting us into these endless wars.

Or is it more like the Fed, that directs our fiscal policy, that has driven us into $38 trillion of at the time. We have all powerful banks. That strangely all belong to the fed. And endless bailouts for those banks. Are those the experts that you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the experts that are doctors, that gave the country sterilizations, lobotomies, transgender surgeries. You know, or should we listen to the experts, like the ones that are now speaking in Illinois, to get us death on demand like Canada has, with their MAID assisted suicide, which is now the third largest killer in Canada. MAID, assisted suicide, third largest killer in Canada. Experts are saying, we now need it here, and they're pushing for it in Illinois. Or should we listen to the experts? And I think many of them are the same experts strangely, that brought us COVID. Yeah. That was an expert thing. They were trying to protect us. Because they need to do this for our protection. So direct from the labs in China with the help of the American experts like Fauci. We almost put the world out.

Should we listen to those guys?

Or the experts that brought us masking, and Home Depot is absolutely safe. But Ace Hardware wants to kill grandma. Which are the experts that we want? That we want to make sure that we have in our lives? That they don't answer, or can't be fired by anybody. Because I'm pretty full up on the experts, myself. I don't know.

But you're right. These experts would keep the president in check, and they would keep Congress in check. And you in check!

And the Supreme Court, which would be really great. You know, and you know who else they would keep in check? The people.

So, wow, it seems like we would just be a nation run by experts, and our Constitution would be out the window, because that's a fourth branch!

And if you don't believe me, that, you know, these experts never pay a price. Can you name a single expert?

Give me a name of an expert, that gave us any of the things that I just told you about.

Give me the name. I mean, give me the name of one of them. Give me the name of one of them that went to jail. Give me the name of one expert that has been discredited.

You know, where your name will be mud in this town. Do you know where that came from?

Your name is going to be mud. It's not M-U-D. It's M-U-D-D, that comes from Dr. Samuel Mudd. Okay? He was a docks man. He was an expert. He was that set John Wilkes Booth' broken leg. He made crutches. He let him stay there for a while. He claimed he didn't know him, but he did know him.

In fact, one of the reasons they proved it.

Is because when he pulled the boots off -- when he pulled both of his boots off, right there, in the back, you couldn't have missed it. It said "John Wilkes Booth."

He's like, I have no idea who he was.

Yeah. Well, you knew him in advance. This was a predetermined outpost where he could stay. It's clear you could know him.

The guy was still discredited, we still use his name today. Your name will be mud in this town.

And we think that it's like dirt, mixed with water kind of mud. No, it's M-U-D-D, Dr. Mudd. The expert that was so discredited, went to jail, paid for his part of the assassination of -- of Lincoln.

Give me the name of one of the experts in the last 100 years, that has brought us any of the trials and the tribulations. The things that have almost brought us to our knees. Give me the name of one of them. Can't!

Because once an expert class, they don't answer to anyone. So they never go to jail.

Wow! Doesn't that sound familiar. People never going to jail!

There's a rant that's going around right now, that I did in 2020. And everybody is like, see. He's talking about Pam Bondi.

No, no. I got to play this for you, a little later on in the program. But I want to get to the experts and what the Constitution actually says about that. Because you don't need my opinion. What you need are the actual facts. So you can stand up and say, yeah. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson is an idiot. Okay?

And she's really not an expert on anything. Especially the Constitution. You need the facts, on what the Founders said. Because the Founders would be absolutely against what they did in 1935.

Because that just -- what does it do?

It just sets up a fourth branch of government.

EXPLAINED: Why the Warner-Netflix/Paramount Merger is DANGEROUS for All of Us

The biggest media merger in modern history is unfolding, and Glenn Beck warns it’s the most dangerous consolidation of power America has faced in decades. With six corporations already controlling 90% of the nation’s news and entertainment, a Warner-Netflix or Warner-Paramount megacorporation would create an unstoppable information cartel. Glenn exposes how “too big to fail” thinking is repeating itself, how global elites and “experts” are tightening their grip, and why handing our entire cultural narrative to a handful of companies is a direct threat to freedom. The hour is late — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: By the way, it's never good when you consolidate power. It's never good.

And what is going on now, with this Netflix Warner Brothers paramount stuff, I don't care if Larry Ellison is a conservative or not.

No one should have that much power.

I did a show, gosh, four years ago. I don't even remember when I did it.

We looked it up. In the 1980s. 19 percent of American media was owned by over 50 companies.

Forty years later, 90 percent of the media is watched and controlled by six companies.

National Amusements, the Red Stone Family controls CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, gaming and internet. Simon & Schuster Books. That's all one.

Disney, ABC, ESPN, History Channel, Marvel, Star Wars, video games and print.

TimeWarner controls CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, and print media like TIME. Comcast, MSNBC, NBC.

CNBC, Telemundo, the Internet.

New Corp. Fox. National Geographic. Ton of others. Sony, with a ton of movies, music and more. The big six. They're valued at nearly $500 billion.

Now, this is something I put together five years ago. So I don't even know. This is probably not even valid even today.

And now we're talking about Netflix, Warner Brothers. Paramount, into all of these one giant corporation. It's wrong! It's wrong!

We can't keep putting all -- everything into the hands of just a few! It's what's killing us!

We've got to spread this around. We can't -- the government cannot okay mergers like this.

They're big enough he has

What happened -- what happened when the banks went under, or almost went under in '08. What did they say the problem was?

They said the banks are too big to fail.

Too big to fail.

Because they were providing all of the services, everybody needs. All the time. And there's only a handful of them.

So if they fall, then everything falls.

Right?

That was the problem. So what did we do to fix it?

We made them bigger!

We let them merge with other banks, and gobble up other things!

And started taking on the local banks.

And so now, your banks that were too big to fail. Are now even bigger. And their failure would be even worse!

What is wrong with us?

Seriously, we're not this stupid.

We're not this stupid.

I think we're just this comfortable.

We just think the experts have a plan. No. The experts don't have a plan.

Their plan is stupid. Their plan is to make it bigger.

Every time it fails. Make it bigger. Push it up.

Make it more global.

No. Haven't you seen what the entire world is like?

The entire world is over-leveraged. The entire world is on the edge.

The entire world is being redesigned.
So what do we do? We don't allow them to make things bigger! We need to start taking more individual and local control of things. They're making it bigger. Which will make the problem bigger. And make the problem so big, you won't be able to do anything about it, because all the experts. All of the heads. They'll all -- there will be six of them. And they will all be sitting in one room.

And they will all be making the instigations. And with them, making those decisions will be all the heads of all the countries around the world, that you're not going to have a say in any of that. They're already trying to do it with the WEF.

But if -- if the Supreme Court says, no, experts matter. And the president can't fire them. You will not have any control over anything!

We're at this place, where we can back out. We can turn around.

We can do it.

It's not too late. But the hour is growing very late.

I don't know about you, I don't like being this.

Up to the edge, you know what I mean?

I would rather have lots of breathing room, between me and the edge of the cliff.

But we don't have that anymore.

Everything has to be done right.

And we have to pay attention.

And the worst thing we can do is make things bigger.

Dream big, think small.
