Formerly secret documents that have all been released so we have the evidence. And how propaganda has become the truth. How are AIs being trained to think like us? Wait until you hear this study from Pirate Wires. It's an amazing, amazing show. You don't want to miss a bit of it. Today, here's the podcast. One of the things you should value most in life is just peace of mind.

0

77.284 - 88.827 Glenn Beck

And these days, that's really hard to come by. There's always something pulling at you, something in the back of your head that doesn't quite let you relax the way you'd like to. And for many Americans, it's finances. It's the debt that never really seems to lessen.

0

89.548 - 102.566 Glenn Beck

It's the payments that go out every month without changing the big picture, feeling you're doing everything right and just not getting ahead. And it's hard because you're trying to fix it, but what you have is interest rates going up and up and up.

102.586 - 117.98 Glenn Beck

This is where American financing is helping people, just like you find the kind of financial peace of mind that you've been searching for for a long time. If you're a homeowner, you may have equity that can now be used to pay off that high interest debt, consolidate your payments, actually create some breathing room in your budget.

118.02 - 144.663 Glenn Beck

The average person in this audience that does business with American financing just picks up the phone and calls them and says, hey, I'm in trouble. Can you help me with this? they're saving over $800 every month. That's like giving yourself, you know, a $10,000 raise. That's a lot of breathing room. American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net. Hello, America.

145.084 - 164.16 Glenn Beck

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?

164.14 - 184.252 Glenn Beck

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.

Chapter 2: How does Rep. Tim Burchett view the downfall of Swalwell?

291.177 - 317.83 Rep. Tim Burchett

There you are. Are you there? Yeah. Yes, sir. How are you, sir? Well, I'm okay. My daughter's cat is in heat, and all the barn cats are lining up in the front porch like congressmen looking for a pack, Chet. So I'm trying to keep in mind, and I hate to correct you, but it's actually Burchett, like Burr under my saddle in Chet. and chat like that. No, you're good. Everybody does it.

0

318.411 - 325.264 Rep. Tim Burchett

Nope, nope, you're good. The only person that hasn't messed it up is President Trump, oddly enough. So I appreciate you, brother.

0

325.564 - 339.509 Glenn Beck

Well, if you have your name pronounced correctly by me, you are one in a million. So, Congressman, first of all, Give me your thoughts on what is happening with Swalwell.

0

340.07 - 368.681 Rep. Tim Burchett

Yes, sir. I tweeted about it yesterday or the day before yesterday. He has become a threat to the power structure. Look, he had a relationship with someone who is a suspected Chinese communist spy, and he was on the Intelligence Committee. And Pelosi and all the Democrats voted to keep him on it. This look now. So now he's he's shacking up with a hooker or something. I don't know. Allegedly.

0

369.723 - 387.947 Rep. Tim Burchett

And now they're oh, we're getting morals now. We can't have this. You know, this is a joke. It is a complete and total joke, and thank you for calling it out. I thought I was the only person out there who would do it. Everybody's known about this stuff. There is no secrets in Washington. That's why I sleep in my office at night.

388.348 - 419.26 Rep. Tim Burchett

I don't need the distraction, and I love my wife and daughter very much. And also, I'm broke, but that's another reason to sleep in my office at night. You're the one. But yeah, this town is... infinitely broken and crooked. As we used to say, it's crooked as a dog's leg. And I wish people would quit calling it a swamp because a swamp is something pretty cool. It's created by God. It's like a...

419.24 - 442.23 Rep. Tim Burchett

A microcosm of the earth. I mean, it's got it filters water. Animals live and breed and and thrive there. And Washington, D.C. is a sewer, brother. It is created by man and it stinks. And America better start paying attention. Twelve percent of the population will vote. You got preachers won't preach the gospel. Our country has fallen apart at the seams.

442.25 - 454.145 Rep. Tim Burchett

40% of so-called evangelical Christians don't vote. 30% of gun owners don't vote. And I'll guarantee you, dadgummit, they'll be the first ones to call my office when something goes wrong.

456.167 - 479.56 Glenn Beck

So let me switch to another topic. Yes, please. What a surprise. This is going to floor you. If you haven't heard the news, it's going to floor you, America. Apparently, that whole impeachment process was dirty. That everybody was lying, everybody was involved, and they had nothing. They had nothing. They manipulated the system.

Chapter 3: What evidence is presented regarding the impeachment process of Trump?

514.858 - 537.804 Rep. Tim Burchett

And not a dadgum thing will happen to anybody. That is just the way this town is. Because everybody's compromised, Mr. Beck. Everybody's got dirt in their background when you get to these higher levels. And they're afraid to do anything. And the gloves need to come off. America needs to see somebody in chains let out of the Capitol building. And it's gone on long enough. I agree with you.

0

538.945 - 564.929 Glenn Beck

Go ahead. I'm sorry to interrupt. I'll call you Tim if you'll call me Glenn. Sorry to interrupt, but that's the lesson that the Republicans need to learn from Hungary over the weekend. They didn't get off the bandwagon of being conservatives. They said the conservatives that are in power will not stop the corruption. We need to stand for the corruption.

0

564.989 - 585.327 Glenn Beck

If it's in our house or somebody else's house, it's got to be exposed and people have to go. They believe the Republicans now have stopped serving the people. The minute people think you serve yourself and not the people that voted you in, you're done. And that's where the people are.

0

586.302 - 613.691 Rep. Tim Burchett

One hundred percent. I couldn't have said it better. This message approved by a merchant for Congress. We have got to call it out in our own house because if we don't, we become the Democrats. We become something of convenience. And if it costs us the majority. for a short amount of time, do it. I think America is ready for it. And that's why one of the reasons America doesn't trust Congress.

0

614.052 - 632.873 Rep. Tim Burchett

You know, I always say everybody, both parties are crooked. Theirs is just a little more crooked than ours. And I think that's the case unless we show America otherwise. And by doing so, We've got to go after our own members and take the gloves off.

632.973 - 662.174 Glenn Beck

It's not just that. It's how do you explain something that is 80% popular with everybody, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and it won't pass the Senate. You're not serving the people. The question is, who are you serving? So it's not just going after your own people. It's about doing the things that the American people want. And if somebody is breaking the law, then that needs to be solved.

662.214 - 689.528 Glenn Beck

Those people have to be punished. We're talking about punishing people now. We can't even agree on punishing people who are killing people, stabbing them 50 times because they're in a special interest group. Well, the biggest special interest group, quite honestly, is the progressives and all of those who are just milking the system on all sides in Washington, D.C. Those people have got to pay.

689.588 - 692.635 Glenn Beck

They have to pay or we don't have a republic.

693.914 - 717.525 Rep. Tim Burchett

When I was in the state legislature, I would put bills of mine up that were good bills that the state of Tennessee people wanted in my district, and I knew they were going to fail. And the reason I did that was because I want people to see how people vote. You know, we had that bill up. I think it's important to know because that's what's happened in the Senate. You've got some

Chapter 4: Why do recent revelations about Ukraine matter?

723.575 - 741.643 Rep. Tim Burchett

And it's all about leadership. It's all about the suburban. It's all about the posse. It's all about, you know, having the front row seats at all the events and being introduced and having your butt kissed as soon as you walk in the door. And that creates groupthink, and that weakens our country, and that is what we've got now.

0

742.023 - 765.552 Rep. Tim Burchett

Because to get in power in Washington, D.C., this may come as a surprise to you and some of your listeners, and I hope it does, but to get in power, you've got to do two things, and I don't do either one of them very well at all. You have to kiss a lot of butt, and you've got to raise a ton of money for your party. And they literally, literally have to...

0

766.358 - 781.448 Rep. Tim Burchett

They will literally issue you a bill at the beginning of the conference, and both parties do it. They put it on a piece of paper, Mr. Black, or Glenn, excuse me, and they give it to you, and the press is in on it. Listen, if Congress...

0

781.85 - 806.002 Rep. Tim Burchett

was the NFL, Peyton Manning would still be waiting to get in because to get there, early on the lobbyists will, you know, you see the favorites and the fair-haired child of both parties and how they kind of promote them and the media promotes them. It's all a game. It's all a game. And then all of a sudden, oh, wow, they're in the press. I'm going to write them a check. I know.

0

806.123 - 833.777 Rep. Tim Burchett

And then they gain all this money. And they nurture them and bring them along, you know. And then, lo and behold, they're moving up the leadership chart. And then all of a sudden, they're a chairman. I remember when I first got to Congress, our then leader, who's no longer in Congress, said, hey, man, I sometimes will mentor some people, and I'd love to mentor you. And I said, great.

834.196 - 856.137 Rep. Tim Burchett

And so they started checking around on me. And then guess what? I never got another mentoring session because I didn't do the game. When I first got to Congress, I remember I went to my – there's like a selection committee that allows you to get on certain committees. And I'm not – I've been in Congress eight years, and I'm still not on an A committee, obviously. And they said –

856.42 - 873.568 Rep. Tim Burchett

We're going to see how you vote, which I understood. And then they said, and we'll see how you do across the street. Now, what that means is you can't raise money in the Capitol building, which probably a lot of them do. But you have to go across the street to make fundraising calls and to raise money and to have fundraisers.

873.548 - 893.396 Rep. Tim Burchett

And so literally they tell you that when you get to Congress and is infinitely broken because of that. And, you know, honestly, Glenn, I don't the big boys, they never support me to the day after the election. And then they call me in and want to write me a check. My my contributions are these little bitty ones.

893.656 - 915.351 Rep. Tim Burchett

They're twenty five dollars and a sweet little woman's written a Bible verse on a piece of paper and wrapped it around a check. But that's few and far between people like me because they just bend and scrape. And we've got to hold people accountable. And I would encourage people to find out how your person votes. 300...

Chapter 5: How does online propaganda influence public perception?

996.75 - 1001.835 Glenn Beck

Is this a distraction, or is this real?

0

1002.49 - 1021.796 Rep. Tim Burchett

It's real. It's real. We just there's two. It goes too deep. And when I sit in a classified briefing and some little punk with a man bun bureaucrat in the Biden administration tells me that that the president is on a need to know basis. That to me is that should tell you all you need to know right there.

0

1022.037 - 1034.387 Rep. Tim Burchett

They need to rip the cover off this thing and expose it because it's not about little green men and flying saucers. I have my own theories on that. It's about what are we spending tens of millions of dollars on that they tell us do not exist.

0

1036.645 - 1042.775 Glenn Beck

May I have you back? You're so hard to book. May I ask you to come back and spend some time with me?

0

1043.416 - 1065.488 Rep. Tim Burchett

I'm going to tell Will in my office to call you back and to call you today and set something up, brother. Thank you. Thank you, Glenn. Thank you very much. And it is a huge, huge honor for me because... I don't want to make you feel old, but I grew up watching and listening to you, and my mom and dad are both in heaven. They loved you, and you're a straight shooter, and we dig that.

1065.989 - 1067.392 Rep. Tim Burchett

So thank you, brother.

1067.753 - 1085.422 Glenn Beck

I appreciate it. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thanks, Congressman. Let me tell you about relief factor. How many days a week do you wake up feeling like, you know, somebody stuck a brick in a sock and went to work on you overnight? How many times during the day do you bend down, pick something up and make that decision? Like, well, that was a really bad decision to make right there.

1085.442 - 1105.403 Glenn Beck

Now the floor just, you know, whatever's on the floor just lives on the floor right now. That's why I didn't have to have a dog because they'll just usually eat it, whatever I've dropped. Anyway, relief factor is there. It's better than a dog. It's 100% drug-free, research-based supplement designed to help your body fight inflammation at the source so you're not just pushing through it.

1105.604 - 1131.088 Glenn Beck

You're actively doing something about it. Look, I'm really blackpilled on, oh, it's all natural. Yeah, whatever. Because it's, you just never know. My wife... Makes me take stuff every day. It's all natural. It's going to be good for you. This, I can tell you, I have evidence. I know. I had pain that I just could not break the back of. Pain in my hands that I just couldn't do. I tried everything.

Chapter 6: What insights does Sean Davis provide on the impeachment scandal?

1956.317 - 1972.745 Glenn Beck

And now with the revelations that I want you to talk about, now you could take this to a court of law and you can get convictions. So, A, thank you. B, what has been revealed now? Tell us the story in a way for people who have not been following it.

0

1974.127 - 1988.652 Sean Davis

Well, Glenn, you are very generous. Thank you for that. Thank you for having me on. Yesterday was a big day. So after six and a half, nearly seven years, we finally got the transcripts of testimony from the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

0

1988.986 - 2014.089 Sean Davis

And for those who may not recall, this was the guy who took possession of that infamous so-called whistleblower complaint in 29 that blew up and ended up turning into the first Trump impeachment. And I think a lot of us at the time, even though this was kind of our first little foray into the impeachment nonsense, we're all wise and veterans of that now. We all smelled a rat.

0

2014.43 - 2032.312 Sean Davis

We all knew it was fishy. And what these transcripts that were released finally showed was that it was actually much worse than many of us suspected. There was so much Democrat chicanery going on behind the scenes. They were coordinating with each other. They were colluding. They were changing rules. They were breaking rules.

0

2032.352 - 2047.528 Sean Davis

They were leaking and they were lying all so that they could overthrow a president because he, the man who was elected by the people, didn't like the foreign policy that had been chosen by a bunch of unelected, faithless bureaucrats in Washington.

2050.63 - 2059.344 Glenn Beck

So what did we confirm yesterday? What do we have now as evidence? What was the chicanery?

2060.786 - 2076.672 Sean Davis

So we learned a couple of things that we had always suspected. And the first was that, and this was something we reported on very early on, which was that the inspector general actually changed their internal rules for how you could file whistleblower complaints.

2076.652 - 2098.93 Sean Davis

But before this so-called whistleblower, I call them axe grinders, came in and decided he was going to try and overthrow the president, the intelligence community had certain rules about what you had to have in a complaint in order for it to be valid. And one of those rules was you had to have firsthand evidence of criminal wrongdoing. And at the time, they never, ever had it.

2099.18 - 2120.412 Sean Davis

This guy had a call transcript that he read and he didn't like things that the president said in the call transcript. And then so he went and talked to other people and put down their recollections and kind of his own third-hand view of things and said, you know, this is a criminal thing and they need to look into campaign finance and all these other criminal violations.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of AI in shaping public opinion?

2588.695 - 2603.037 Sean Davis

I don't get to pick the DAs. I don't get to pick the grand juries. The only thing I can control is the thing that I can do every day. And the thing that I do every day is find out what's true and broadcast it as far and wide as I can go. Because otherwise, I think you'll go insane.

0

2603.678 - 2614.815 Sean Davis

If you're constantly blackpilling and being cynical and being mad that this didn't happen or that didn't happen, I can't control any of that. So why would I allow myself to get all wrapped up in something I can't control?

0

2615.909 - 2634.373 Glenn Beck

great perspective. You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck. To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts wherever you get podcasts. So you remember in the good old days when we worried about Wikipedia making edits and things like that or big tech censoring truth.

0

2635.467 - 2658.505 Glenn Beck

Let me show you how those cute little battles are still raging, the ones we're paying attention to, while a nuclear information war is raging and no one's talking about. It is going right into the bloodstream of artificial intelligence systems that are increasingly telling us what to think, what to believe, and even what the truth looks like tomorrow.

0

2660.088 - 2680.122 Glenn Beck

Over the past few years, Reddit, the so-called front page of the internet, has quietly become one of the most powerful backdoors in AI training data. AI trains on something, and a lot of these companies are training on Reddit. They train on what gets upvoted, okay?

2682.143 - 2705.676 Glenn Beck

If it's upvoted today and just doesn't trend for a few hours now, now it becomes the raw material that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google, and the rest of these models ingest and spit back out as authoritative answers. The one source that I found that does not do this is Grok. There was a study from SEMrush.

2706.016 - 2733.972 Glenn Beck

It looked at over 200,000 prompts across all the major AI systems, and it found that Reddit links are showing up everywhere, often ranking higher than traditional news sites or even Wikipedia, which you shouldn't trust. Many of those cited posts had shockingly low engagement, sometimes fewer than 20 upvotes. You're going to understand why this is so powerful and dangerous here in a second.

2734.893 - 2760.613 Glenn Beck

Reddit has bragged in its latest shareholder letter that it's now the number one most cited domain across all AI models. So all of these models are training how to think on Reddit. That should terrify you because here's the reality. Even small coordinated groups can now launder their propaganda through Reddit and their upvote system.

2761.214 - 2784.951 Glenn Beck

And it gets baked straight into AI that millions of people all over the world are using every single day for truth, to help find the truth. And it's not just influencing what your neighbor sees on their feed. This is shaping what the machines tell the next generation is consensus. Again, full credit where credit is due. Great investigation.
