So today's podcast, we got a couple of. We got a couple of things. First of all, I wanted to take on why are we bombing these boats, you know, off of Venezuela? Everybody says it's a drug war. I have a different theory, and I think it's the. The new Monroe Doctrine. And I'll explain that. Which leads me also to what is happening with gold. Are we being reborn? Are we watching it burn to the ground? I'll explain. And again, a different theory you're not going to hear anyplace. El. And we also talk a little bit about what's happening at the White House. Everybody. Abraham Lincoln, they're taking his bones and. And they're throwing them outside in the. In the fountain out front. No, they're not. No, they're not.

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. Before I start this on gold, I want to ask you, what is Donald Trump? Does Donald. Is Donald Trump a guy who likes to cut the. The spending? No. He believes in debt. Right. But what he believes in, more than debt is growing the bottom line. So you grow your way out of things. So keep that in mind as I'm trying to make sense of gold. And what I'm going to share with you is just a theory. I think I might be right on this, but I don't know. Okay. Gold is rocketing. You know, it's. It's now almost, what is it, 43 or $4,400 an ounce today. And I've always told you, you don't want to see a world with $5,000 an ounce gold. That is, when $5,000 an ounce happens. That means the trust is going away for the financial system and the financial markets. The dollar is starting to weaken, and the. The world is sending a signal we don't trust any of this anymore. Now, that may be true. That may be true. But let me take you to another place, because maybe something that is happening that doesn't fit that script because you're dealing with something new. You're dealing with Donald Trump. So I think behind all of it, there is a new strategy that is taking shape in Washington. Congress, you know, doesn't have the stomach to cut any of the spending. Um, and Donald Trump believes the opposite. Grow your way out. Okay? So that's a recipe for deficit that is really quite frightening. But there is someone, and I think it's Besant, who is finding a way to pull down the deficit without the usual political bloodshed. One of the misunderstood tools in that strategy is something that you're going to be amazed that it hasn't happened before. It is the revaluation of gold. Right now. The government values its gold reserves. We have 260 million troy ounces. That's what they say. Officially we might have none, but we have 260 million troy ounces. But we only value it at $35 an ounce. Why? Because that's the price FDR in the 1930s set gold at and said it's worth $35 an ounce. That hasn't changed. So on paper that means the government, all of our gold that we have on paper, the whole gold hoard is only worth $9 billion. So okay, so wait a minute. But the market price today is almost $4,500, which would make that 9 billion actually worth $1.1 trillion. Now think about that. The United States is sitting on a trillion dollar asset and we don't even count it. Why does this matter? I want you to think of your home. Imagine you're going into a bank and you want to go buy a car, okay? And you have your salary and you're in debt and you're just barely making it. But your home on paper has only been valued at $5,000 because when your parents bought it all those years ago, it was $5,000, you know, and, and now you're sitting here and it hasn't changed in value. It has in reality. But you're still counting it as the bank and saying, yeah, well my grandfather or my father paid $5,000 for this and so it's worth $5,000. You know, the bank would know. No, it's not. It's worth a million dollars today. What changes? If this is called mark to market, this is a usual thing. You mark the price to what the market value is, Your price of your house goes down. You are poorer on paper because the value of your house has gone down and it's marked to market. If your price, if the price has gone from $35 an ounce to $4,500 an ounce, then you mark to market and everything changes. Suddenly if that's your house, 5,000 to a million dollars, now you can buy that new car. The bank. You walk into the bank and you're like, I'm going to buy a fifty thousand dollar car. And they're like, well let me see your assets. And you're like, oh, well, you have a house that's been paid off and it million dollars where Yesterday was worth $5,000, today it's worth a million dollars because it's actually worth that if you sold it, and so the bank goes like, oh, you're fine, you're fine. Yeah, sure, here's 50 grand. Go buy that car. Suddenly your profile looks different overnight. Okay? That is what I believe is coming in America. I believe they're going to revalue gold, that without raising taxes, without cutting a single program, it would instantly improve the nation's balance sheet. Our debt to asset ratio would shift dramatically. Have you noticed in the last year, everybody's like, their debt to their debt to asset ratio is way out of whack, and they're now 125%, whatever it is, okay, that would change. The dollar would legitimately appear to be stronger and the deficit, at least on paper, would shrin. Now, add to that, again what Donald Trump believes, and you may not agree with it, but he believes I can grow the economy. So you combine that with the H1B visa fees you do, the tariffs expected, you know, to bring in money, and then Also the expected 8 to 12 trillion dollars in foreign capital investments that are flowing into the United States. If all of that is real, suddenly the picture doesn't look quite so desperate because it looks like we are growing again, and we actually would be growing again. The debt doesn't shrink by cutting. It shrinks by growing. It shrinks by growing the economy and expanding the economy beneath it. That's Trump's mark. That's always what he's believed in. So while I've been sitting here going, you don't want $5,000 of gold. You don't. But it also might be a good thing. Let me give you this. There's more. Washington is floating the idea, and Mike Lee got hammered for this, but this is a besant idea. Mike Lee is floating the idea of selling off portions of vast federal portfolio. We have all this land. These are not national parks. You know, we have millions of acres of un. Unproductive and unused territory. I have known this from central bankers for 20 years that they actually have said we should sell the national parks. You don't have much national. But I don't want you selling the national parks. What are you talking about? No, we're not selling the national parks, but that's not what they're talking about. They're talking about cutting the inefficiency out of every department and taking land that is unusable and sellable that the government is holding and doesn't need to hold, selling that land, okay, which would allow us to build more houses, expand, etc. Etc. And, and increase the bottom Line on the balance sheet. Suddenly, with all of this, the pressure valves are opened up. Okay. Also put in here. Nobody seems to be panicking about the government shutdown. And what is the government shutdown doing? What is Besant hoping he gets an opportunity to do? Cut. So now you're expanding with gold, the possibility of selling federal land. At some point, you're bringing in $12 trillion of investment. You're getting the raw earth minerals from Venezuela and from South America and elsewhere in the world. You've solved our military peace problem. We're no longer the world's policeman, so we're not having to do all of that stuff, which is a drain on blood and treasure. All of a sudden, you're starting to see that America is actually shoring itself up. So what looks like chaos right now may actually be a controlled implosion of a broken system. Because, remember, this is exactly what the left was going to do. The left through the wef and the great Reset, they wanted to implode the system, but they had a safety net that we were going to fall into, and that was a global world order. Donald Trump doesn't believe in the global world order, but he does believe we are in trouble. He knows that he has a different idea. I think we might be seeing a re. Anchoring of America's finances in hard assets, real productivity. And if Bessant and the president can pull this off, we may be watching the birth of a. Of the. The building of a. Of a new foundation, of a new financial order. One where, you know, we're. We're re. Grounding ourself in. In value that's actually real. It's dangerous if confidence breaks, if the terrorists who are already here. Thank you. Joe Biden managed to disrupt the perception of reality. If we start having, you know, real trouble on our streets and we go unstable, then the illusion flips. The re. The revaluation becomes a revelation that even gold cannot cover the sins of a government that has just not paid attention for this. This long. And, you know, there's no pretending that. But if we can hold together this fragile unity in our country long enough and they can revalue the system and rejigger the system. Keep your eye on gold. It may be the canary in the coal mine. It may be. This is real trouble. But remember, not every alarm means disaster. It's how you react to it. I would have told you four years ago, and I did. When we said we're going to. We're going to kick Russia and China off the swift system that's a really bad idea because you have no plan, you have no replacement for the Swiss system. You're now taking the assets of a sovereign country and saying, yeah, we can do that. That will drive the price of the dollar down. People will sell our reserve currencies. And the only thing they had as backup was a global new financial order none of us wanted. Notice, we're not talking about CBDCs, we're talking about gold. This government is talking. Donald Trump is talking about rebalancing and growing, not a global world order. So it could be that the price of gold is, you know, just a fire that could burn out of control as it would have just a few years ago. And it still may. But it also may be that the rise in gold and what's happening with Donald Trump is a backfire, is a, you know, when you, when you set fire in a forest fire and you burn back into it to put it out, this may be a fire that we are setting that could put all of this out. It may, this heat may actually forge something new. Because I think there's real strategy here. When you look at what I talked to you about a minute ago, why are we bombing those boats? That strategy for something bigger that's not, it's not a war on drugs. It's not that strategy for something bigger. Knowing that he's resetting the entire world, knowing that he likes the revaluation of things and he likes to grow the asset sheet, knowing he's not a dummy, knowing that he wants to keep America sovereignty, true gold will tell the story. Whether it's collapse or America's rebirth. One way or another, we're going to know soon. We're going to know soon. Watch gold. Let me tell you about American financing. Your hard work. You know, every day you come out, you come home after a hard day's work, you get paid, you pay your bills. And sometimes the number just never seems to moon. It's like it, it's like you're, it's like you're running on a treadmill. Nothing moves. And that treadmill's built by the banks and you're exhausted, but you haven't gone anywhere. American financing is there to change that. Their family owned company that works for you, not off you. They look at your mortgage, your credit cards, your loans. They help build a plan that will help you get, you know, get free faster from all of those chains, sometimes years faster. So what makes them different is the mission. They believe homeowners deserve more of their homes and less of the Stress. And when you call them, you're talking to real people who listen, who, who want to help you. And they've helped people all over the country find breathing room again. Imagine what life would be like if your money actually worked for you, if every payment moved you closer to owning your future instead of just paying for your past. That's what American financing does. They turn someday into right now because you don't have to live in fear of debt forever. Not when freedom has a phone number. And Here it is, 800-9062-440890-62440. It's American financing.net now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program and we really want to thank you for listening. Okay, so when we talk about the war on drugs, most people just kind of roll their eyes, okay? We've been talking about the war on drugs forever and it doesn't make any difference at all. So now another failed campaign, another round of speeches, another generation is caught in the crossfire. But what if I told you that the drug war that you're actually watching today has almost nothing to do with cocaine or fentanyl? I think the average person would go, yep, that sounds true, and I believe it is. It has everything to do with oil and minerals and the rebirth of American sovereignty. What you have to understand about Donald Trump is he is reshaping everything. Just as the WEF said. We're going to go for the great reset. We're going to reshape the world. He's doing that single handedly. He is taking on everything and reshaping the world to have a stronger America and one that is protected, not mired in endless wars and strong financially and militarily so we can protect ourself with American sovereignty. So what's taken place right now in South America is not a narcotics operation. Again, this is my opinion. You know, I was talking about it yesterday and I'm like, it's like the Monroe Doctrine. This may be as important as the Monroe Doctrine, which the Monroe Roe Doctrine was in this hemisphere. Don't screw with any of our allies. You're not going to put, you know, you're not going to put enemy ships and you're not going to play around with countries in our hemisphere. This is our hemisphere. America is supreme in this hemisphere. You do your own thing. But then we kind of got weak on that. And now China is all over. Russia was all over the southern part of the western hemisphere. So what he's doing is he's putting A new Monroe Doctrine together. That's Donald Trump. Now look at the map. Try to, you really have to look at it. Because I could say imagine the map and nobody can imagine them. Venezuela, Guyana, Colombia. Okay? Three names you almost never heard anything about on cable news five years ago and suddenly they're the front page priorities for Washington D.C. and our military. What? Well, there's smuggling drugs. Well, yeah, they might be, but they're also doing a lot of other things, including, as we told you, terrorist island in Venezuela. They have Hamas and Iran in Venezuela. But whoever controls this little triangle controls the Western hemisphere and controls the Western Hemisphere's future, its energy, its minerals and its manufacturing independence. And Venezuela is the Fulcrum. It holds the largest crude reserves on Earth. And it's oil that is perfectly suited for America's Gulf coast refineries. But China and Russia have been moving in. They're like vultures sitting there offering loans and sweetheart deals to Venezuela. And Venezuela has become more and more communist and more and more hostile to America. And they are trying to mortgage that entire system to Beijing's state run oil giants. So what are we doing? Well, we haven't done anything about it. We've just let them go in. Now all of a sudden we're doing Navy drills in the Caribbean and we're doing sanctions. We are moving more ships and more naval assets. I mean, it is, it is a full fledged onslaught. We are sending a message and I don't know, we're sending a message just to the drug lords. Okay. This is a pressure campaign that kind of looks like the old drug war, but is really, I believe, designed to crowd out the Chinese influence. This is about keeping Venezuela's energy in the Western family, not letting it become another victim of the Belt and Road initiative and a pawn of China. Then there's Guyana, which I thought was in the other hemisphere. I had no idea it was on this continent that's, you know, just below us, apparently called South America. It's tiny, it is quiet. And suddenly a gold rush of oil. Now an American company, Exxon Mobil, leads the charge there. And Washington isn't just helping fight traffickers, it's defending America's offshore platforms. They're building radar networks, they're locking down the entire coast. Because it's not just about barrels, it's about cables, it's about information, it's about pipelines, it's about rare earth minerals. All of those things are going to power the next century. And then Colombia, we know because that was the first thing that all of A sudden, Donald Trump started talking about the. About Colombia and then the Panama Canal. And it was like, what are we talking about? Where do we. Back in 1958. No, nobody had talked about. Nobody had paid attention to it. This guy is so far ahead of the curve. He is so far over the horizon. I don't think people really understand what he's doing. Colombia is the hinge between the Caribbean and the Pacific. So we were told for decades that the US Military presence there was about fighting the cartels. Maybe. But I think the truth is that Colombia is the geographic and logistical bridge between the hemispheres. Okay? It guards both oceans. It buffers the Panama Canal, it sips, it sits atop minerals every modern economy needs. Now, lithium, rare earth, all of this stuff. You control Colombia and you control the Western Hemisphere's arteries. Now, that's not drug interdiction. That's grand strategy. This hour, I kind of want to make sense of the world for you in two things. And it all hinges around a theory that I'm. I'm peddling a theory, and I could be wrong on this, that when I look at all of the dots, they don't make sense. You know, this is a. This is about that submarine with cocaine in it, really? Is it? We're sending our entire military out to get the submarine with. I mean, I want drugs to stop. I get it. But really doesn't make sense to me. So the dots don't make sense, and there's too many up on the board that just don't make sense unless you start to frame it in another direction. And I did this last night with not only South America and what we're doing with Venezuela and the, quote, drug war, but also gold. And so I want to finish this in a minute, and I want to move to gold, because I want to tell you I think there is a grand strategy here that everyone is missing. Okay, so why does all of this matter? Trump is the first president since Reagan, I think, to understand that America's strength doesn't come from endless foreign wars. It comes from owning the supply lines, from building the sovereign trade, the energy, the technology pipelines, all of the stuff that runs all the way through our hemisphere, not Beijing. So he's. He's not trying to make America the world's policeman anymore. He's not doing that. He's making us the secure citadel. He is forcing every region, Europe. Think about what he's done with. With NATO. What is he doing? We're not going to be your policeman anymore. You got to step up to the plate, you got to do it. The Middle east. We're not going to be policemen here anymore. All of you Arabs, you do it. You get together, you make peace. He's brokering peace and also saying to the rest of the world, you need to step up. And he's doing it in Latin America to the police themselves. Every move you see sanctions, seizures, aid freezes, even visa crackdowns. This is all I believe, about locking down critical resources before China does. This is economic warfare disguised as moral policing. Okay? And the irony is it may be one of the smartest uses of the drug war apparatus we've ever seen. This one actually might work and do something. So let me tell you something that nobody else is telling. Let me give you what everybody else is missing. This is not about ideology. This is not about drugs. This is about global architecture. Trump is tearing down the old corrupt order, the wef great reset, corrupt global order. And he is building one. Not on dependency and debt and endless intervention, but he's laying. He's. He's chopping the trees down. He's paving a road, and he's laying the asphalt for a new one. A hemisphere that produces its own energy, defends its own borders, works together and reclaims the American right to chart its own destiny while encouraging all other countries to do exactly the same. And he's making as many allies as he can in any way he can. That's what's really happening, I think, behind the headlines. While everybody else is like, should we do this? Before you talk about a drug war, ask yourself, does that make sense now to everybody who is, you know, no kings? Yeah, that might make sense because you're not thinking. Anyway, I invite you to look at a much bigger picture. We know the rest of the world was way down this path of a new global world government and a global world order. We also know Donald Trump was never for that. We know that Donald Trump doesn't like wars. So why do we have the military, Venezuela of all places? Because this is not about chasing smugglers through jungles. This is about chasing China and Russia out of our own backyard. It is a quiet, strategic, and I think, if I'm right on this, a brilliant reset. Because if Trump succeeds, historians are going to look back at this time and call it for what it truly is, the second Monroe Doctrine. The moment America stopped apologizing for defending its own hemisphere and begin re began rebuilding its own sovereignty. Trump believes in a strong America, America first. That doesn't mean we're going to leave every other country alone. It Just means we have to do the things that we have to do to make sure that we are strong enough and strengthen the countries around us as well. And the countries that we have been protecting all these years, give them the impetus and also the. Also the ability to come together in their own regions and rebuild and. And protect their own sovereignty one barrel, one chip, one border at a time. Now, I have been warning you about $5,000 gold forever. And there are two ways this gold rush could go. Let me give you one way that it could go. And then after spending a few days talking some. To some people who think differently and saying, I don't understand what's happening here, because everything would tell me that this is a flight to safety, which I believe it is, but it is the central banks that are buying up most of this gold, and it's the West. So are they getting away from America or something else happening? So there's two ways the gold story goes really, really badly, or is it something strategic again from the Trump administration? And the reason why I'm on this is because I. I sent an email to the office of Bessant and I said, okay, I'm kind of freaking out about $5,000 an ounce gold. What's happening? No comment. Just sent a story to me. That's all he did. His response from somebody in his office was just a story. At first, I didn't understand. What is he trying to tell me here? I want to share with you what I think. I'm getting gold. And it actually, like the drug war thing, when you reframe it and you're looking at it from a different perspective, it actually might be really, really good. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I'm glad you're here. Thank you so much for listening. You know, so Stu is, like, freaking out about the White House.
