He said, my proudest legacy will be.

Glenn Beck (11:32)

That of a peacemaker. And she said. She said, and a unifier. She's in the movie. And he says, my proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker. And then she's sitting in the. You know, in the room with the writers, and she said. She looks at him, points to him and said, and a unifier. And he looked at her and he went, yeah, that's good. And a unifier. Write that in. Then the next scene is him at the. At the Capitol giving the speech. And what's amazing is, we didn't understand it at the time. I didn't understand it until I saw the movie. Melania, he says that line. And the most. The thing I will. You know, my most proudest. My proudest accomplishment will be that of a peacemaker and a unifier. And everybody starts to applaud. And he turns around and he points to Melania and smiles and shakes his hand, his head. And she just gives the faintest smile of recognition. She keeps him anchored, I think, in. In the softness. And I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't had a conversation. I mean, I also wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have a conversation with anybody, because he has the best gut of the American people I've ever seen. But she is a softening softener for him. You know, she was like unifier. He meant peacemaker as somebody who's gonna make peace all around the world, which he did. And she understood. And you're going to unify everybody in the country. And that's exactly what he's trying to do now. He's softening to unify because he knows the only other option is civil war. I mean, did you see what the radicals are doing on the streets of Minnesota and Minneapolis? They're putting their own checkpoints up. I got news for you. You have a checkpoint in Minneapolis and you try to stop my car as a civilian, I'm blowing past you. I am not stopping my car. And somehow or another, they also have access to the license plates. How'd they get that? Now, Homan has just said. I mean, Homan, remember I said when he made this deal in. You know, he said, you know, I'm gonna fire what's his name from Border Patrol. And I'm bringing Homan in. Everybody's like, I think he caved. That's the white flag. No, it's not, because he brought Homan in. Homan is the toughest of the tough guys. It's like the only step up from Homan is raising Cain. Okay. And then Donald Trump himself. So he didn't surrender, but Homan said yesterday, we're now going into the jail. We have complete compliance with Minneapolis and Minnesota. Wait, so Donald Trump got everything that he was asking for? What a surprise. Again, win. But how'd that happen? How'd that happen? Now, you could be really cynical and say, maybe some sort of a deal was cut. I hope that's not true. I doubt that's true. I think that is Donald Trump knowing exactly how to play the game. Remember, he's a negotiator first. He's a negotiator. He can read the room. All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor. Sometimes it's not, you know, one big injury that slows you down. It's a little. Bunch of little injuries that has happened all over life. You know, little aches that never quite leave your knees. Remind you when you stand up, your back talks to you. When you bend over, your shoulders feel tight. By the end of the day, all the stuff that didn't happen, but after a lifetime of doing stuff, just doing stuff, now you're like, oh, geez, how am I going to move through all of this every day? So a lot of people have decided to try Relief Factor. It's a. It's a daily supplement, and it's designed to support your body's natural response to inflammation. It helps you feel more comfortable so you can stay active and do the things you really enjoy without the constant reminders that something hurts. It's about supporting your body, not just covering up symptoms. And over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two thirds of them have gone on to take more. Tells you a lot about the difference, you know, that people are feeling when they take Relief Factor. If pain is dictating your routine, just give it a try. You have nothing to lose. I mean, you try for three weeks. If you're not seeing any changes in your body in three weeks, no changes at all, stop taking it. It won't work for you. About 30% of the people stop taking it. 70% of the people are just like me. They take it every single day. Because you found a big difference. How will you feel being out of pain? 800 for relief 800 for reliefrelieffactor.com now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to Thursday. It's the 5th of February. There's a lot going on. I'm going to take your phone calls here in just a second. I want to. I just have to play a couple. You have to play a couple of things. First of all, can we play this weird Kamala Harris X thing that came out last night? I think it's trending. It is just a, you know, Kamala hq and it's a sign in. And you know, your, your, your login, your login name and your, your code. Your. Yeah, and play it here. Let me just show you what it says. So have it there. So she's typing it in and she types in the first. The first code is two online. Then it's the babysitter is weird. And then what's the last one? The last one I'm looking for here. Headquarters. Yeah, she just writes headquarters. And then it says tomorrow. Please tell me this is today. By the way, tomorrow is today for her. So please tell me you're running for president. That's what they're starting to say, that she's going to run for president. Oh, please, please make that. Please be Gavin and Kamala. Wouldn't that be fabulous? Way too online means we know you're just too cool. The babysitter is weird as a slam on Trump. I guess Project 2025 is real is also another slam on. On Trump. And, and Kamala's headquarters today going to be making an announcement. Oh, I cannot wait. By the way, I want to talk a little bit about body cams because I've been hearing this thing about, you know, body cams on ice. You know, we got to have body cams on ice. I have a. I'd like to put body cams on politicians. And I'm going to explain that coming up in just a minute. First, let me go to Tom in Albania. Hello, Tom.

Tom (Caller from Albania) (18:30)

Hello, Glenn. How are you?

Glenn Beck (18:32)

Good. How are things in Albania?

Tom (Caller from Albania) (18:36)

Well, I'm watching a beautiful sunset over Ivanka's island. I'm in Vallora, Albania. And I don't know if you know it or not, but Ivanka Trump bought an island right off the coast here, and they're gonna build a Trump resort there. And I'm looking at it. The sun setting over it at the moment is gorgeous.

Glenn Beck (18:58)

So do you live in Albania or you're visiting not?

Tom (Caller from Albania) (19:03)

Well, we moved here. We moved here In December. Now, living here. Yes.

Glenn Beck (19:08)

Why did you move to Albania?

Tom (Caller from Albania) (19:12)

Well, because I have a condo on the right. On the Ionian Sea, Adriatic Sea, across island.

Glenn Beck (19:23)

That's your wife. That's a good man. You just keep listening to your wife, brother. Just keep doing it. Whatever she says, you repeat. I got it.

Tom (Caller from Albania) (19:30)

Yeah, Right. We're right on. Right on the beach, looking at Ivanka's island. And it's €700amonth to pay for it. So my. My house. The last house I had in America was over $2,000 a month, and that was not a very nice house. This is gorgeous.

Glenn Beck (19:45)

So I have to. You were one of the first, if not the first insiders, I'm told, from Europe. First Torch members.

Tom (Caller from Albania) (19:53)

Probably the first.

Glenn Beck (19:54)

Yes. You know, you should have waited for me to make the long distance call, but I.

Tom (Caller from Albania) (20:02)

It doesn't.

Glenn Beck (20:03)

I was. Yeah, I know. I was shocked at. We have, like. We have Torch members now in 40 different countries and, like, lots and lots of them all over. And I actually want to call some because I assume they're all expats or. I mean, I don't know. Else. How else you find us? I can't imagine that. You know, you're in, you know, Switzerland, and you're like, you got to hear this guy. He talks about chocolate all the time. It's great.

Tom (Caller from Albania) (20:33)

No, I've been listening to you since you started. I was actually. I listened to rushes at first national broadcast.

Glenn Beck (20:41)

Wow.

Tom (Caller from Albania) (20:41)

So, I mean, I've been talk radio for ever since I was, you know.

Glenn Beck (20:46)

Wow. Wow. What's your wife saying again? We should just talk to your wife. She's just put her on. Hi.

Caller with upper respiratory virus (20:51)

Hi, Glenn. I have an upper respiratory virus, so excuse my hoarse voice.

Glenn Beck (20:58)

Oh, sorry. Have you talked to Dr. Fauci about it?

Caller with upper respiratory virus (21:02)

No, I'm not going to talk to Fauci about it.

Glenn Beck (21:04)

Yeah. Okay, good, good, good. Then you'll survive.

Caller with upper respiratory virus (21:07)

It's a pleasure to chat with you.

Glenn Beck (21:10)

No, thank you. Thank you. It's good to know that you guys are in Albania. If I ever need a place to hide out, you'll be getting a call from me. Yeah.

Caller with upper respiratory virus (21:18)

We moved here because. Mostly because we started planning this last year. The cost of living in the United States has become astronomical for us, and we could actually live here quite comfortably on our. My husband's retired and both of our Social Security.

Glenn Beck (21:39)

Wow. Oh, that's great. If I'm ever in Albania, I'll look you up. Thank you so much. God bless you both.

Tom (Caller from Albania) (21:46)

I'm sure you'll. I'm sure you're going to be coming to Rhode island, right?

Glenn Beck (21:50)

Oh, of course. I'm going to. Already have plans for that soon. Yeah. Next. Next month. Thank you so much, Jason. Thursdays are the days that I try to keep open for phone calls, and I've got a lot of phone calls. But I want to check with you because you are monitoring, you know, all of the socials and everything else. What is the big topic of conversation that I should know of or address?

Podcast Producer/Assistant (22:18)

There's not really one big topic. It's a bit of barrage in the insider chat today. A ton of comments. I've got about 50 of them here saved for you that I'll have to, if we don't get to the majority of them, I'll have to show you. But it really is kind of all over the place. I wanted to show this one. There was a ton of people saying the song is beautiful, the Lady Liberty song. Tons of people talking about that. And then this was a, I think this was a consensus that people said, I'm going to read this one from Lauren. Lauren said, okay, Glenn, I'll give it to you. You should do it this way, with you telling the story over the music in the background. That's what they want to see.

Glenn Beck (22:57)

You might wreck the song a bit. You know, people, you know, you know it's in French. And the reason why it's in French is because my original concept is, what would the French say to Lady Liberty today? They gave it to us. So you're standing there up on our shore and you're looking up at her. What would you be saying? And so the lyrics in French are, you know, you're a mother. You're, you're a mother. Wake your children, remind them who they are, tell them, stand up, be brave. And that's why it's in French. And besides, my lyrics kind of suck if they're not in French. But it's me, a lot of people.

Podcast Producer/Assistant (23:36)

Talking about the SAVE act and what it means, and a lot of people are worried that nothing is going to happen, especially through, like, pressure from the administration. And Shane said his biggest concern is Trump applies pressure wrong domestically. He's great doing it with foreign policy, but he's not doing it right with people like John Thune. He will get crushed in the midterms if nothing in Congress changes.

Glenn Beck (23:58)

I will tell you the one thing that I know about the SAVE act with Donald Trump is he has said to me several times, one way or another in different conversations, if we don't get control of the corruption of our elections. If we can't verify we know who's voting. He said we'll never win another election again. And so I know he is, he is on this. The one thing that bothers me is his fallback, which he announced right off the bat almost is let the federal government take over the elections. That's unconstitutional. That cannot happen. That's a really, really bad thing because they will love that. Oh, if the federal government can do all the elections, they can change that easy. The Constitution specifically says all of the elections are local and state and they're in charge of all of the elections. And I think that is really important. Now the federal government can say, we need voter id. You've got to have a valid face ID so we know who you are and that you're a citizen. And you know, everybody is for that. I don't know why Thune is saying, well, we've got things like the Transportation act that we got to pass. Really, I don't care, Honestly, I don't care if airplanes are grounded for two weeks. What's more important, a two week stall on, on our airplanes, which is not going to happen. A two week stall on airplanes or voter ID for the rest of our lives. Which one's going to destroy the Republic? If we don't have voter id, you have no republic. That's why they're fighting so hard to keep all of these illegals in the country. They know. I gave you the stats last hour about what's happening with the census. These states are going to lose electoral votes. And once they lose electoral votes, when, when, when New York and California are not controlling the swing anymore. Well, that's a problem for Democrats. That's a real problem. That's why they have all of these people in, because they've got to have those votes. They've got to have the congressional and the congressional seats and they've got to have the electoral College by saying, no, no, no, we don't count people that, that are not here legally and you can't vote unless you have a valid id. That changes absolutely everything. And I think, because as I said, Trump is such a good read of people almost I agree with the color. Domestically, he's not as good as he is internationally. Sometimes I think of the Epstein thing that was so mishandled and he, he didn't get what that meant beyond Epstein. That was a trust thing. That was not just Epstein. That was a. Wait a minute. This was something that all of us were bothered by and now it just kind of goes away. And, you know, I think the positioning on that one was poor. This one, this one I just think he cares an awful lot about. I hope that he pushes Thune, because it's all going to come down to Thune. One guy is going to stand in the way of voter id, and that will be John Thune, because John TH has to say, okay, go ahead, filibuster. But it's a standing filibuster, meaning you. You have to talk your way through it. And here's how that works. Thune is saying, we don't have time for that because all what is. What do they have? 49 senators. So 49 senators can speak on the same subject in a filibuster two times. So a senator can get up and she can. And she can start talking about it, and then when she's tired, she passes it to another Democratic senator. So you have, you know, 100 speakers just under, you know, 100 speakers that are going to speak just 49 people twice. And once that's done, you can't speak a third time. Once that's done, once they go through all those people, then it goes to a vote. What the Democrats want is the new kind of filibuster where it's not a standing filibuster, where they say, we got, we're filibustering that, and then it takes 60 votes to get to cloture. Well, they'll never get 60 votes for the, the SAVE Act. And Democrats know that. John Thune just has to say, well, go ahead, talk your socks off. Because when you're done in 30 days, guess what happens? We vote. And all I need is a simple majority, so we win. So go ahead, talk all you want. And they're not going to want to talk for 30 days on this because everybody's going to go, wait, wait, you're standing against votes. You're stopping all of these things. You're stopping the government because you think that people shouldn't have voter ID. 71% of Democrats believe in voter ID. 71% of Democrats. This is so against their own voters. Their own voters want this. Let them talk, John. Let them talk. Save the Republic. And let me just speak to you, just, you know, politically, save yourself, save the gop. Your party is nothing if you can't stand for something this, this important. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. We start with the China bio labs. You know, this story is really, really disturbing. China is buying up farmland. They're buying up land all over America, and they're buying up Land near our. Our bases. Our military bases. Anybody notice where this biolab is? It's not very far from a military base. Like a stone's throw from one of our big military bases. Hmm. You know where else it is? It also is in a major city where tourists come from all over the United States and the world. You know where else it was? In an Airbnb where people are coming to Vegas, they're staying in this Airbnb. Then they're going to hotels and conventions and to the floors of the casinos and to all of the shows. Then they're getting on an airplane and they're flying elsewhere. This is crazy. This is crazy. And this is not the first time we have found it. You want. I mean, you know, the. The Chinese wrote something you should read. In fact, we did a. We did a show on it. Soon the entire Library of Glenn Beck.com is going to be up, and you'll be able to search for things like this. You'll be able to go to, you know, torch and just type in, you know, unrestricted warfare. And it will bring you everything that we've done on unrestricted warfare. But that is what they call what they're doing. China calls this unrestricted warfare, where it's not soldiers anymore, it's unrestricted. They'll just do whatever they have to do to win. And part of that very likely is, hey, let's put biolabs near, you know, U.S. military bases. Let's put biolabs in, you know, major cities that are tourist destinations, because we can get people if we want to, we need to. We can get that whole country sick overnight. We can shut down their military overnight, because that'll spread into the military base. And by the time it gets. By the time people figure it out, it'll be in all of our military bases. That's unrestricted warfare. That I hope. I mean, I have. I trust my president and I trust our Defense Department. I'm not sure I trust a lot in the intel and justice, but I do trust my president. This is something that's real. That's absolutely real, and we should be watching for. But let me talk to you about watching. Everybody is saying that ICE needs to have cameras, you know, on their vests. I'm all for that. I think the best thing that ever happened to the cops is we put cameras on their vests, because everybody before was like, oh, my gosh, look what they. You know what? He broke my arm. Your arm doesn't even look broken. Do you have it in a cast? Have you had an X ray? No, he broke my arm. I'm telling you. Broke my arm. Cop wasn't even around, whatever it was. Put cameras on cops. That's great. Put them on ice, great, we'll know the story. It keeps them true. And it keeps the lying liars away from the. Away from the press. Because we improved. That didn't happen. Okay, But I got to thinking. Everybody wants this on the cops. Well, you know. You know, politicians are kind of, you know, cops in suits. You know, they're the ones that are supposed to be policing our laws, policing our Constitution. Make sure there's no enemies, foreign or domestic. That's what they're sworn to do. They take an oath to protect that and to serve that. What do the cops take? They take an oath to protect and serve. Right. So why is nobody watching the watchers? My local cop has to wear a vest. I going to have to wear a vest. The gas station, the grocery store, the front porch dogs have cameras now. But the people with the most power, the ones who have the. Who operate that power, operate the systems, they're on the honor system. Honor in Washington, D.C. is two words, not one. Do you understand what I'm saying? There's no honor there. So here's a radical thought. Why don't we flip this around? Cops wear cameras because we say power requires accountability. Great. Let's finish the sentence here. If you hold public office, you wear a camera. And not at your speeches, not during your press conferences. All the time. I mean, not all the time. I mean, you're gonna. You know, there are times you're not gonna wear a cap. Congressional body cams. Cabinet level GoPros. Senators with a blinking red light that says. Yeah, remember, Senator, we're watching. You want to meet a lobbyist? Great. Smile. You're on Candid Camera. You want to negotiate, you know, a bill at midnight. Great. America's watching. The uncut version. You want to say this isn't how the real world works. Perfect. Could you define the real world, please? Because the one I live in has and demands receipts. The one you live in, I don't think, is the real world because it never demands receipts from any of you. Yeah, but that's extreme. Really, that's extreme. I think we've already decided that extreme was acceptable, haven't we? And if cameras are extreme, then why do we have them for traffic stops? Why do we have them for classrooms? We decided it for every American who doesn't have power. Why does transparency suddenly become a reason Unreasonable. The moment it reaches the top. Why? You're watched in everything you do. Here's why. Imagine what would happen. Half of Washington would suddenly go, you know what? I'm too old for this job. I should retire. I'm going to let some of these youngsters in. That's. That's the first thing that would happen. Another quarter would suddenly rediscover prayer, and the rest would spend the first month just asking interns, is this thing on? Corruption would need to be prosecuted. It would die of embarrassment. Here's the thing. Corruption thrives in the shadows. It hates daylight. It hates context. It hates timestamps. You wouldn't need hearings anymore. Just hit rewind. I never said. Here it is at 2:14pm sir. Remember right after the lunch fundraiser, you said this. I mean, protect privacy. Sure. Bathroom breaks, no camera. I don't want it. Family time, off camera. But you're governing. Red lights on, you're doing deals. Red lights on, you don't get secrecy and authority. Pick one. What do you say? Pick one. I'll give you national defense. But I would like to make sure that we define national defense because we've also redefined secrecy and top secret. Top secret. Says here that he used three napkins while he was in the Congressional lunchroom. Let's classify that as secret, please. Everything's classified as secret now. So let's. Let's look at what's actually needs to be secret and what doesn't. It's amazing. Amazing how quickly behavior changes when you know you're being watched. Do you know that most people, when they steal from their company, they don't. They don't. They don't steal because they're bad people. Really. Honestly, most people, when they start stealing from their company, it's not because they're bad people. It's because no one's watching them. And so something just happens to people when they're not watching, not being watched. They think people don't care. I don't know about you, but I care deeply about our country. I care deeply about the Republic. I care deeply about all of the crime that is going on. And I'm not talking about on our streets. I'm talking about the crime, you know, that's happening in daycare centers, the crime that is happening in our government with our own money. Why would you go steal money from a bank when the bank has limited amounts of cash? Why wouldn't you steal it from the federal government and the taxpayers? That's where the real money is. You know, you look at Ocean's Eleven, we're going to go in and we're going to rob all the casinos. Rookies. Did you see what they did in Minnesota? What they're most likely doing in California, New York, and maybe even your state? I got to tell you, bills would become a lot shorter, language would become much, much clearer. Deals would suddenly make sense. You wouldn't go, wait a minute, what happened? How did that happen? Why did they pass it? That makes no sense at all. Oh, no, it would make perfect sense. Here you are at 1:01am okay? Phrases like unintended consequences I think would go extinct. The only thing radical that we need is radical transparency. And radical transparency doesn't require better people. It just requires visible people. This is the thing that people misunderstand. When our founder said, you know, this Constitution, this system of government is wholly inact and inadequate for a non religious and non moral people. When, if you're not, if you're religious and if you're irreligious and, and not a moral people, you, you can't have freedom. You just can't. Because you're screwing things up. You're stealing all the time. You're, you're cutting the line. You're. You're trying to get away with stuff. But if you're a religious and moral people, all of a sudden you have a governor on yourself and you go, no, that's wrong. I can't do that. That's wrong. We need that governor back. But until we get that governor back, maybe cameras are a good way. You know, our founders didn't assume that people would be angels. They knew. They knew the opposite. They built a system designed to survive. Humans, Humans, when they're left to their own devices, when they're left alone, when they're unwatched, when they have access to money and power, they almost always go bad. What's broken in America is not the Constitution. What's broken in America is the distance between power and the people. Okay, so I guess it sounds funny, you know, politicians wired like cops. You know, a Capitol Hill highlight reel, Man, I'd watch that thing every night. C span with teeth. Can you imagine? But I'm, I'm serious. Nothing restores trust faster than letting people see the truth unfold in real time. That's why, you know, what gave me this idea was I saw, I was watching the news a couple of days ago and I saw that they were saying, you know, body cameras for ice. And I'm like, I'm fine with that. And then I saw, you know, them arguing in Utah about Having cameras in the courtroom for the Charlie Kirk trial. And I'm like, what are you, crazy? You got to have it. You have to. You will create conspiracy after conspiracy after conspiracy. You have. That whole thing has to be wide open, absolutely, positively. And then I thought, wait a minute. Cameras? Why don't we have cameras on everybody? Why don't we have. Honestly, if you're a politician that goes with a job. I don't want a camera on me. Then don't run. I know a lot of people that would be like, you put a camera on me, most likely. Until you put a camera on them, then there's gonna be all kinds of exceptions. No, I. I'm tired of the spin. I'm tired of the summary. You know, I'm. I'm tired of. Wait. How did that deal happen? Well, you know, they got behind closed doors. No sunlight. Open the curtains. Sunlight. We have the technology to do it today, you know, and you know what? Maybe the camera only goes on when you're near. I don't know, somebody who's a lobbyist. You're out in the middle, you know, you're a nice. Dinner with your wife or something. And then a lobbyist. AI detects lobbyist three feet from the table. Boop. The red light goes back on. Oh, other politician.

Podcast Producer/Assistant (43:00)

Boop.

Glenn Beck (43:02)

Oh, reporter. Boop. You know what stopped them from sleeping with all the reporters? Red lights. I mean, that red lights kind of defined the district that reporters are in now. But, I mean, the red light of the camera that would stop them from sleeping with them. AI is like, oh, you know what? Seems like the proximity to this reporter is awfully close. Seems to get farther away and then closer, farther away, then closer, farther away, then closer, farther away and closer. I know what they're doing in there. Cameras on corruption has to work a lot harder. And. And here's the thing. Most of the politicians are too lazy. I say cameras on everybody in Washington.
