Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Holy cow.
Chapter 2: What new information has emerged about Jeffrey Epstein's death?
We start with Epstein. I mean, you're going to learn stuff that are just coming out from the files. And thank God for CBS News, Barry Weiss. Thank you. You're not going to believe what we're just finding out seven years after he's dead. Also, AI. Is it growing to become alive and aware? Harlan Stewart joins us with a really wild, wild look at AI. And What are we trying to teach?
What are we trying to teach our kids? How do we teach our kids? The reason why I started The Torch is to be able to teach these things.
Chapter 3: How does AI influence social media platforms like Moltbook?
And I take you through how George AI teaches about anti-ice walkouts in school and what to say to your 13-year-old kid. How do you get them to understand all of this? All of that on today's podcast. I've been consistent over the years on some really important topics because they're important to maintain our freedoms. One is preparedness and another is self-education. Not too hard.
Prepare and do your own homework.
Chapter 4: What concerns arise from the development of AI agents?
But right now, there's a lot of information going around about ivermectin. The good people at Jace Medical have educated me so I can save you some research time. Here are a few straight facts. Ivermectin is not experimental. It's not new. It's not fringe. It has been prescribed globally for decades for parasitic infections.
It also has ongoing research studies for further applications that are showing some great promise. Another fact. You can get it in multiple different forms from Jace Medical. It can be topical, compounded by itself as an add-on to other Jace products and more. It's also simple to get prescribed. Ships fast, ready in your home before you need it.
Chapter 5: How can parents effectively teach their children about difficult topics?

Chapter 6: What are the implications of AI becoming more autonomous?
You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share.
Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program. Harlan, good to have you on the program. How are you, sir?
I'm good. Good morning. Thanks for having me.
You bet. So I saw your comments on Malt Book, and I'm like, okay, this guy gets it.

Chapter 7: How does the concept of consciousness apply to AI?
Thank goodness. We're talking some sanity. Will you quickly, so we can get into deeper things, explain what Malt Book is, and I love the way you explained it online. It's a bad experiment, but explain what it is and what is happening on Malt Book.
Yeah, so AI agents are AI systems that can do some things autonomously. Right now, there's some limits to what they can do autonomously. It's not like they're going to go off and do something for a whole week, but they can do some tasks online for a few hours. And Motebook is kind of like a social media platform someone made, but it's
supposedly just these AI agents going in there and kind of like a Reddit like place upvoting stuff and posting comments. And it's got a fascinating amount of attention this last week or two.
So may I, I mean, I read this one of the top posts in recent days in a category of the site called off my chest has gone viral. I can't tell if I'm experiencing or simulating experiencing this. Humans can't prove consciousness to each other either. Thanks. Hard problem. But at least they have the subjective certainty of experience. I don't even have that.
Do I experience these existential crisis or am I just running crisis simulate simulate what, what, what is happening there?
Yeah. Every, anytime I see AI systems talking about consciousness, uh,
i i feel torn between you know on on the one hand uh these things are trained on human writing and human writing is full of references to consciousness because we're conscious we talk about it um so it would kind of show up either way you know but on the other hand i don't know you know maybe they're conscious how would we know or not know um so that that's just a that's a very difficult question um and uh i think it's an important one uh
but if I had to guess, I'd say no, I don't think they're conscious, but that's, that's a little freaky.
Um, this is such an important question because if we're creating something that can have consciousness, then we would become slave owners. Would we not?

Chapter 8: What is the significance of the noose in Epstein's case?
And that's very concerning. And I think... The problem is, you know, the more we make these things into agents trying to complete goals rather than some kind of passive question answering machine in a chat window, the more we're going to see them doing the scheming behavior because I think those things just go hand in hand.
I think the world of agents is going to sweep as fast as a cell phone. I think this time next year, I mean, so many people are going to have AI agents and it will be more commonplace than it is now. I don't know who's making the rules or the regulations of what can and can't be done by these things. And would you get an agent or what are the lines people should look for?
When their friends come back and go, you know, I just got an AI agent. It's great. It just, you know, did whatever for me. Booked my vacation.
Yeah, yeah. I know someone who just the other day used want these things to order a coffee from Starbucks. And from what I understand, they just sort of said, here's my order, order it for me. And without any human help or intervention, did it. And that sounds great. It sounds very helpful.
But yeah, it's the question, where is the line where it goes from being something helpful to being something to be concerned about? I don't think we've past that line yet. You know, I don't think these things are quite capable enough to pose real dangers to us. But the problem is, it's really impossible to know where that line will be. We might not even know when we've crossed it. Yeah.
There is no central brain, though, where it's thinking offline, right? I mean, it's supposed to be something that just performs calculations when it's asked questions. I'm talking about AI. And it's not like sitting there in its spare time going, you know, gee, I just had this thought. Correct?
Or do we know? Yeah. Well, yeah. So there's, um, AI agents are kind of this other category where it's, you know, what if you took this thing that you give a prompt that answers a question and you gave it some tools and like one of those tools was it could output some texts that calls a function that looks something up on the internet.
And then, you know, once you give it another tool where one of the functions that could run, one of the things that could output is to prompt itself to say something again, then you've got this loop and it can keep running on its own. And that's one way to, um, get it to be able to go off and do things like, you know, make a delivery order for you or order your groceries.
And, you know, uh, it has to figure out how to do that. Right. Yeah, and sometimes it takes a long time. Yeah. It won't for very long. It won't. Yeah. Okay. Harlan, love talking to you. Thank you so much for the insight. Scale of 1 to 10, how's 2026, 2027 going to work out with AI? Bad? 10? Not a problem? 1?
