Ryan Morrow (3:14)

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

Glenn Beck (3:19)

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We have Ryan Morrow joining us because I want to go over a story that we, we called him about late last night and the guy has not slept. He is, I mean, this guy is a, a warrior for truth. Let me give you the story. This is from the Post. Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti ice warrior and part of a group of activists who work to document and resist the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota. Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti anti ICE activists through her six year old son's Woke charter school that boasts they put social justice first and prioritizes involving kids in political and social activism. My gosh. Why would you put your six year old kid into a school that says that we're going to involve them in political activism? Oh, my gosh. These guys are dangerous revolutionaries. She was a warrior doing what she knew was right. Okay, so we called Ryan and we said, Ryan, can you, can you help us out on this group that she's involved with? Because they were making it sound like this group is just observing. Well, you don't take your car and block a street if you're an observer. That's not what observers do. Okay, Observers do exactly what, what's his name from Blaze? That was at January six.

Ricky (4:49)

Baker.

Glenn Beck (4:50)

Steve Baker. They do exactly. They do that. They stand off to the side and they watch and they write down and they record. Okay? That's what an observer does. They don't block roads with their cars. So we called Ryan. Ryan, tell us what you found out about this group. Ryan Morrow. From the the Morrow Institute. He's the director, counterterroris expert. You can help his group. And I urge you, if you want to stop Islamic extremism and you want to get to the bottom of stuff. We've just partnered with Ryan. He is part of our research team. Now. His team is so good, but please, it's a nonprofit and you can support by going to Ryan Morrow.com and finding out more information. Ryan, what you find last night?

Ryan Morrow (5:37)

Sure. Well, according to the New York Post, she became involved with this group called Minnesota Ice Watch through this school, with this charter school, which I'm still looking into and have some stuff that I want to verify before we get to that. But as for Minnesota Ice Watch, which is the group that would be actually on the streets as opposed to the school, it was actually fairly easy research to do because they were openly radical. It turned out this isn't really about the issue of protecting undocumented migrants, illegal immigrants, and protecting people from the abuse of the law enforcement. It's actually about doing things like eliminating America and setting cops cars on fire. You go to their social media page and it doesn't take much work, actually, to find instructions on how to assault police in order to get free people open up cop car doors and pull people out. They do not recognize the United States as a legitimate country. They oppose that, refer to it as Turtle Island.

Glenn Beck (6:45)

Oh my gosh. They're Turtle island people. Oh my gosh. Okay. Okay.

Ryan Morrow (6:53)

So you want to explain what that is?

Glenn Beck (6:55)

You go ahead.

Ryan Morrow (6:57)

So Turtle island, it's. I'm not even sure it has a ton of merit, but it goes to this belief that a lot of the anarchists and communists spread out there saying that just like Israel should be referred to as Palestine, then all of north and Central America should be referred to as Turtle island because they say that the indigenous people, the Native Americans, that's what they all referred to it as. And I'm not finding a ton of verification that that's actually true, but that's what they say in order to basically indirectly call for the destruction of the United States, which is a more uncomfortable thing to say than, hey, destroy Israel. It's a little bit less popular. And so. And so when they start talking about liberating Turtle island, that's what they're calling. And that's why I've been calling the Turtle Island Intifada. So they believe in that, but their language goes even is even more aggressive than that. Where you actually have posts where the one that's really alarming to Me, it says how to start a community defense center in your neighborhood. And them and their allies usually say, oh, that's where. That just means we're watching, defending in terms of like, we'll give you the number to a lawyer. Well, that's hard to say when your post has a depiction of a cop car on fire. So when they say, set up your community defense center in your local neighborhood, that's a violent intention. That's how you build an insurgency.

Glenn Beck (8:21)

Okay, hang on just a second.

Ryan Morrow (8:22)

People watching.

Glenn Beck (8:23)

Let me just tie this together. You just heard what Ryan just said, just there on that thing about protecting your neighborhood. Can we please play the audio of Governor Walsh from yesterday? We played just a few minutes ago. And listen with that information in mind. Listen to what he said. Our history, when things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota's first that held that line for the nation on that July 3, 1863. And I think now we may be in that moment that the nation's looking to us to hold the line on democracy, to hold the line on decency, to hold the line on accountability, and more than that, to rise up as neighbors and simply say we can look out for one another. That I told you 25 minutes ago, what he's doing is he is empowering and activating a neighborhood Revolutionary Guard. That's exactly what Ryan was just saying. In different words, this is a group that is telling you as neighbors, here's how we get together and protect your neighborhood from these evil police. This is what's happening, and the governor is encouraging it and speaking the same language. Would you agree with that, Ryan, or am I off base?

Ryan Morrow (9:46)

No, I agree. I think he's using the language that is comfortable to him, and he may not even know the origin of where that rhetoric is coming from. That it is essential is seditious in nature. If you look at the groups on glenn beck.com in my article, I go into some more detail about them. I mean, they're anarchists, they're anarcho communists, and kind of open about it. The material that this group posts comes from groups are quite open about that. And they actually say, you know, as part of setting up your community defense centers in neighborhoods, you know, wherever you can do it. After you pick out a spot, the next step is you find local organizations to bring into your alliance. And then you identify nearby vulnerable sites for developing strategic patrol routes, like for intelligence gathering and stuff. And what they name are things like car washes and vendor hubs and churches. So I suspect there's an increasing presence of the Christian anarchists. And sometimes they'll ally with open Satanists. I've seen that. So ally with what? Don't be surprised. Ally would have like Satanists, like people who are. I'm a member of the Church of Satan type people. And. And you'll see them, they'll be crossover between them within this Turtle island movement and with Christian anarchists. And so this mentioning of churches as vulnerable spots that need protection is. It's just a data point to keep in mind the. For whatever they're envisioning. But they're envisioning something because their post, they had the. One of their most recent posts which was written with another more openly violent anarchist group, actually calls for reinforcements. People to show up at a certain location and they ask people to bring their Christmas trees to burn and anything that they can use to barricade the streets.

Ricky (11:33)

This is Ricky. Thanks for working on this all night, by the way. He didn't get a drop of sleep, by the way.

Glenn Beck (11:39)

Ricky is our executive producer of all of the Glenn Beck stuff.

Ricky (11:43)

We dialed back some of the language on how we framed the headline of this. We can definitely ascertained that it's an extremist violent group. ICE Watch is. But you went so far as to call it a domestic terrorist group that fits the definition of the FBI. Can you explain that? Because that's pretty loaded. And if we're going to make this claim about her reported ties to ICE Watch being a domestic terrorist group, please back that up.

Ryan Morrow (12:13)

Yes, absolutely. I happen to have the FBI definition up here, actually. So you go to FBI.gov, you look at the definition of domestic terrorism reads as follows. And again, this is dependent on the New York Post reporting thing.

Glenn Beck (12:28)

Wait, wait, wait. You broke up. I don't know if you're going from your bedroom to the bathroom, but I'm not. Okay, stay. Okay, you're back. Okay, go ahead, tell us what.

Ryan Morrow (12:36)

Okay, good. Yeah, so. So, yeah, New York Post says that she's connected to this group. And so I'm saying that this group meets the FBI's definition of domestic terrorism. And it reads as follows. Violent criminal acts committed by individuals and or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences such as those of a political, social, racial or environmental nature. So ideologically motivated violence that is criminal in nature. Which if you're telling. If you're teaching your supporters how to free people from the being in the possession of the police, I would say that fits the definition.

Glenn Beck (13:16)

Wow. So, Ryan, have you seen anyone else? I mean, because yesterday they tried to make her look like just a simple mom who, you know, just really cares about Somali people and injustice and everything else. And then when this came out, all I heard all day yesterday was she was just. She's an all. She is an observer. She was just observing. She's there with this group that they help out with, making sure that nothing is wrong and they report on the police and everything else. Is anyone else reporting this? Who this group is that she's actually with?

Ryan Morrow (13:56)

A New York Post touched on it a bit. They focus more on the charter school, which is apparently, according to their reporting, where she connected with Minnesota Ice Watch. But I think that came out pretty quickly. And so maybe just was a matter of time before people comb through it all. But no, that that narrative is still there forming. And as you well know, when there's controversies like this, if you're late with the facts at all, it doesn't take long for things to cement in people's minds at the moment and then in their memories a few weeks later when things fade. And so it's important that we react rapidly with the truth and with these types of facts as these things form, so people understand what's really going on. That the issue is, you're being told is the issue often isn't actually the issue.

Glenn Beck (14:44)

It never is. It never is. Thank you so much, Ryan. Just keep us up to speed. The article, you can find it@glenn beck.com he just broke a story with us yesterday about another domestic terror group that everybody needs to be aware of that is on the Sharia law side of what's happening to America. This one is just the radical anarchists and communists and Marxists that are involved. And that is apparently who she was involved with. She was not just somebody who is there to observe. Again, you don't park your car across the road to block it. If you're just an observer. That's insanity and we all know it. Will anyone actually admit to that in the press? We'll. We'll see. Ryan, thank you so much. Where do people go to help, to help you? I got to write this down so I have it.

Ryan Morrow (15:41)

Sure. It's just my name.com Ryan Morrow.com is the easiest way to do it. So thank you for that.

Glenn Beck (15:47)

You bet. You bet. Ryan Morrow, I have to tell you, we. There are several people that we have been watching over years and, and we rely on and look at as really good, solid, reasonable people that we know do their homework, that we have worked with over the years. And one of the things that I'M doing with my new torch project is a couple of things. One, we're not holding back. You know, when we would do these Wednesday night specials, it would take us about two weeks to do a Wednesday night special. So we were always two weeks ahead on whatever it was. And there's so much going on that what we found was by the time we would get there, there would be another story in the news that was so big that this one kind of fell by the dust and we don't have time to wait. And so we've taken our Wednesday night specials and we're just putting them on radio every day. And when we find it, we don't hold it, we just give it to you right away. Because I just feel that's the right thing to do for time. But we're also, we are more than doubling our efforts on research and Ryan is one of our new partners and we are working closely with them to make sure that their research is seen and heard. And we work together because I also don't think any of us have time to duplicate efforts. We have to work together if we're going to make progress and save not just America, Western civilization. So if you want to support him beyond what we're doing, please go to Ryan Morrow. Ryan M A U r o Ryan morrow.com. you can support him there.

Can I go now, Sarah? Is that okay if I go now? It's my own show. I mean, telling me when I can talk. My gosh, Zionist master is bullcrap. You know, it's Sarah who controls everything that's happening here. Oh, I'm on to you, Sarah. Now the American people are too. Anyway, sorry about that. We're going to take your phone calls 8@8727, Beck, all next hour, all your phone calls. Wall, Wall. I just, we have not gotten all of the news that we need to. By the way, looks like the tariff ruling from the Supreme Court is not coming today. I don't know if that's good news or bad news. I don't know which. I know where I fall constitutionally and I know where I fall in hopes. And they're diametrically opposed to each other. To each other. So we'll see what happens on this. Also, we have to talk about the president saying yesterday about Mexican land strikes, the gdp. The Atlanta Fed has said now we're going to, they're expecting the fourth quarter to come in at 4.5percent GDP growth. So, you know, we started the year at, what was it,.5. I think it was 0.5 minus, minus 0.5 in GDP growth. And then it is just kept going up and going up. I want to give you a history of what 5% GDP growth means. When China was really doing well, they were between 8 and 9% GDP growth. This is stunning if you have that kind of growth. And I know it doesn't feel that way yet, but something is happening to give you a, an understanding of 5% growth. Our recovery from the, you know, the financial crisis. Our recovery happened in 2014. So between 2008 and 2014. But by 2014, that year, 1/4 at least we had 5% GDP growth. Okay. It took that many years. Let me give you another stat. In 1984, Reagan finally really kicked in and it was about 8% GDP growth. Okay, 8%. If you lived in the 1980s, you know what that felt like but it took him four years to get there. We are just over 11 months of Trump in office and we have gone from negative growth to 5. We could be facing a very good election period, economically, that, and that will change everything. But we're going to continue to watch. Also, unemployment is down again. Slight, but it's down again. The last thing I want to talk to you about is Iran and what happened last night. Jason, who is doing. How's the insider behind the scenes broadcast going?

Jason (22:32)

So good. I'm missing all the comments right now, but I mean, from where they started on Monday, they were just starting to trickle in, I guess as they were trying to figure out what this was all about. Now I can't even keep up with it. Now. It's like a huge feature and they're like, Jason, can you, can you yell into Glenn and ask him about this? It's just amazing. The audience, I love that.

Glenn Beck (22:51)

I love the audience. They're just amazing, you know, and I want to say this, and I mean this sincerely, and whether you believe me or not, I don't care, but I truly love this audience. I love every time I meet you, I feel like we've known each other forever. Even though they were meeting for the first time. It is the most caring group of people ever. And I, I'm building what I'm building now called the torch, but it's actually Glenn Beck dot com. I'm building all of this stuff as my torch and it is my way of lighting something and then giving it to you so you can light the way. And what we have planned for you to be involved and actually have this one on one conversation. Are we doing in two weeks, are we doing the town hall?

Ricky (23:42)

We're going to have to talk to your new CEO about that. But you know, we're, we're going to get it.

Glenn Beck (23:47)

Forget it, forget it. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. Everybody's like, it's going to cost so much money.

Ricky (23:53)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Abracadabra.

Glenn Beck (23:55)

We'll make money at some point. But anyway, we'll have to start taking subscriptions to make money. I know, but we're, we really want your help on building it. So we're building something that is actually useful to you. And you know, we haven't even had a chance to mention this and I. Have you seen anybody mention this yet? The Open has changed. Our, our theme song changes every year. Oh, they've noticed for the, not the theme song. For the very first time since 2020, the verbiage has changed and it's always been the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. I added and changed that for the first time in 26 years. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment and empowerment. Because my goal is to empower you with knowledge and information, the facts on everything. And we are coming up with delivery systems that nobody has done before. And you can find those and play around with some of them@glenn beck.com right now. Anyway, let's talk about what happened last night in Israel or, I mean, sorry, in Iran. What. How it felt to me like it might fall last night, but it didn't.

Jason (25:13)

I was watching last night and I completely agree with you. I was like, we might see the regime go down tonight. The things that we saw back in 20, 22, 23, the things that we saw back in 2009 where this started to kick off. I remember looking at the faces of some of the protesters that were out in the streets looking at some of the things that were willing to do. That is nothing compared to what we saw last night. I saw a woman last night. She was probably 75 to 80 years old. She was walking down the street. She was holding up her arm in defiance and her mouth was pouring blood down her face and down her clothing. And she was still marching to whatever objective. I was like, I cannot believe Time magazine or whoever else wasn't there to take that photo. Because it's the photo of the year. Absolutely crazy. And keep in mind, all these thousands of people that are actually it spread to Tehran. There were thousands, tens of thousands marching down the street in Tehran.

Glenn Beck (26:11)

170 plus cities, 170 plus cities and.

Ricky (26:15)

Other images for Time magazine are the young women without their hijab on smoking a cigarette, lighting the Ayatollah's image on fire. Those are starting to go viral now all over Iran.

Jason (26:29)

No headscarf, smoking the cigarette and lighting is three things they're not supposed to do, right?

Ricky (26:35)

I mean, they would be killed.

Glenn Beck (26:37)

Well, they. They still might be. That's why we have to pray for the Persian people. I wish, I wish people knew more about the Persian people. They. This civilization is a remarkable civilization that was way ahead of everybody else. And Tehran was like Paris. I mean, all the good parts and good things about Paris. It was very enlightened, it was. Was very smart, very well educated, very free. The women, you look at pictures from the 1970s of. Of Iran and the women were beautiful. You know, they were. It was a very western country. And the Marxist and the Islamist got Together and overthrew the Shah. And they've been living, you know, in this hell since 1979, since I was born. Yeah.

Jason (27:30)

Speaking of the Shah, I remember when we were talking about this back when there was the Israeli campaign and when we bombed nuclear sites, some people were talking about the Shah as being the person to take over or lead this. And I was very skeptical of that. I didn't think that the people would go for it. The stuff that was happening last night was actually called for by the shah. In fact, whoever he's working with, they were working with an organization that was providing a QR code. Code so that you could scan the QR code and film what you were doing. They were chanting in the streets yesterday, last night, the Shah's name. I mean, he was their battle cry.

Glenn Beck (28:08)

So here's the bad thing. So let me give you the good thing. I told you at the beginning of the week, here's what you watch for. I think I did. I list. I don't even know if I got to this list, but I had a list of all of the things that we have to watch for, you know, if you want to know what's going on. And one of them was, is it growing in labor unions? What is happening at the docks and the ports? Are you seeing police starting to, you know, put their clubs away? Are you starting to see the morality police kind of back off? And all of those things you're starting to see. And it's getting better. But the. On the bad side, I said what you need to watch for is, is the Internet still up? The phone's still working. Does it look like the mullahs are digging in and about to oppress? And last night the Internet was shut off and phone service was shut off, so you can't even call each other. That's really frightening.

Jason (29:08)

Yeah, that's frightening. And that. That. That is confirmed. Those two things did happen. And that makes you.

Glenn Beck (29:13)

Are they still out?

Jason (29:15)

That is not sure. I have to look at it. I would assume so, but they're clearly not wanting the world to see how they're going to respond to all these people. But there are just the wildest reports that still need to be confirmed. But there were multiple reports that several Iranian officials were looking to get out of the country. There was a report that the Ayatollah's ejection plan is to go to Russia. There were reports that I think was the first. The main foreign minister, like their secretary of state, went to Beirut in Lebanon, took his family with him with no Plans to leave at the current time, which I don't blame him.

Glenn Beck (29:50)

What is Russia? What are they thinking? Russia has a population problem. Nobody's having babies, and so that culture is dying quickly, and yet the Islamic culture is growing. They're having 10 babies, and so that's growing. It's going to become a. A Muslim country at some point. Why would you bring the revolutionary mullahs into your country? What are they thinking?

Jason (30:20)

I think what they're thinking is they're seeing the empire they thought they were building slowly crumbling. We are seeing major geopolitical shifts in the world right now, and they're all happening simultaneously. South America, a big part of their key to their entire eventual takeover. All of it going away, gone. Iran, another huge part, not only of their empire, like militarily, through drone production, stuff like that, but also money, a lot of oil. A lot of these pieces are just getting taken off the board. And I think they're in desperation mode right now, which could be very dangerous. I think I heard with you talking about being backed into the corner with the ambassador. Did you see Alexander Dugan's tweet?

Glenn Beck (31:00)

Oh, I did. There is no international law. We should go. Well, I didn't see it about Iran, and I saw it about Venezuela, and he said we should go in and take Zelinsky and bring him to Russia and try him. Yeah.

Jason (31:15)

I encourage everyone to go to his Twitter account just to see the mind of some of these people.

Glenn Beck (31:20)

Be very careful. He is very good at making sense. And you'll read some of his stuff and you'll be like, yeah, I agree with that. You have to know what he actually believes. He is an agent of chaos, and I believe an agent of evil, literal evil. He's very dangerous. Be careful.

Jason (31:38)

His response was very, very foreboding because he said that with the Russian military losing so much credibility, they're going to be forced to hit and hit hard very soon. Just to make an example, I gotta.

Glenn Beck (31:53)

Tell you, I think. I think NATO wants war. They're making moves that scare the hell out of me. Russia wants war because they've got to. I mean, when they start to collapse, that's when people become very dangerous. And, you know, the. I think every war. You know, I can't say this, But I think 99% of wars are started by a miscalculation. Somebody miscalculates and the whole world set on fire. And that's what we have to pray that no one miscalculates right now, because this is a tight rope that we are we are walking right now and it is extraordinarily dangerous. What are we expecting tonight? Do you have any idea what we is. Are we expecting maybe a possible roundup of people or more of what we saw last night in Iran?

Jason (32:50)

It'll be very interesting to see in the closing hours of daylight over there if we get any information whatsoever, but I don't. I expect more of what we saw last night. I expect more of people hitting the streets, pushing further and further. They were doing things last night that I never would have expected that they would do. They were burning actual government buildings. They were charging irgc, Revolutionary Guard Corps. They were charging their headquarters in multiple different cities.

Glenn Beck (33:20)

We could see by Monday we could see a free Iran. Or you could see us being in a corner of are we going to protect the people of Iran from this regime from slaughtering them? I mean, this weekend is going to be just pray, spend a lot of time praying for peace and praying for the people of Iran. The Persian people are amazing. And if they could get that culture back and they could be free, the source of good that Iran would be in the world would be remarkable. Remarkable. But we are be very, very, very, very careful. Thank you, Jason. I appreciate it. You can hear Jason while we go into commercials. If you're watching on glenn beck.com Jason gives you a ton of information. We have, we have added 50% more a show to this show. If you're watching it only on glenn beck.com you're listening to the Best of Glenn Beck.

Ryan Morrow (34:24)

Need a little more.

Glenn Beck (34:25)

Jason (34:27)

Anywhere you download podcasts.

Glenn Beck (34:29)

It's Friday. Let's take some more phone calls. I want to hear your voice. Clint, you're up next. What's on your mind?

Ryan Morrow (34:38)

Hey, Glenn.

Glenn Beck (34:39)

Hey.

Ryan Morrow (34:40)

I just calling about Venezuelan and you know, getting the Chinese out of there. And I agree with all that. The one comment I have though is I live here in Utah and just 100 miles from my house, Smith Filled Foods went out of business called the Hog Farm down and the Chinese came in and bought that. And it's thousands and thousands of acres and it's so groundwater. It's everything. How come we're not focused on getting them out of our own country, including Van Sway, you know, getting out of that Sway as well. But they're right here in our own country.

Glenn Beck (35:10)

That would be something I would ask your so ever lovable governor, but also it should be for the federal government. But you know, there's some things that our states need to step up and do themselves Even in Texas, we have this problem up in the Northeast, in New England, it is really bad what's going on with the Chinese buying up property. And we are, we're, we're allowing them to buy property all around some of our biggest bases in America as well. This is, this has got to stop and stop now. And the federal government should be doing it. But if the federal government's not doing it, our states should be leading the charge as well. When it comes to Venezuela, though, I, you know, I want to, I want to urge people to start. And I don't think you're doing this at all, Clint, but there I do hear people give us these false either ors. You know, we should be doing this, not that. No, we should be doing both of those things. And we need more than one person leading the charge. That's why I encourage, you need to encourage your states get off your ass and do something. Because we're losing our country and we're losing the Western way of life, the Western world. So it all hands on deck on this. But let me give you the case on Venezuela and why and what people really need to understand. You know, there are two ways to fight, and both, both fronts should be fought because you knock them out. When your states are stepping up or somebody else in the federal government steps up, Congress decides to do their job and they pass a law that says if you're from China, you're not buying, you're not buying anything anymore. No land, no land can be sold to the Chinese. Anybody who is a Chinese business or anything else. Nope, not happening. But when you look at the strategy that I think Donald Trump is using in Venezuela, you know, you look at what, what is Venezuela, what is the problems coming from Venezuela? They are a source of deep Marxism also. They are their training camps. They have an island. We've told you about it for the last couple of years. They have an island that is a training camp for Marxists and also Islamists. You have this training camp where Hezbollah actually comes and trains people there in Venezuela. Where do those people go? Well, they go back to Iran for more training, and then they come back and then where do they go? Most likely with us. You also have the drugs and the cartels and the human trafficking. You have China and Russia and Iran deeply involved in Venezuela. They have basically set up a base in Central America. In South America, there's bases, you know, Panama Canal is one of them. We just allowed China just to take the mouth and the butt end of the panic. Panama Canal and control that Damn thing and then buy property all up and down the Panama Canal. Really bad idea. If you can shut down Venezuela, you start changing things. If you kick them out and you take the oil industry away and you say no, look, you're not going to sell oil to China, to Russia, to any of our, any of our, our enemies in the world. That cripples China and this is why this is so important. By controlling the oil in Venezuela, you are crippling China that takes about 70% of all oil from Venezuela and uses it. That cripples them on power. It cripples them on any of their industry, any of their shipping. They need to have oil just as much as everybody else does. They buy a great share of that from Venezuela. The other great share that they get is from Russia and Iran. If you're now shutting down Iran, if Iran can topple this weekend, you have so degraded the power of China they're not going to go into Taiwan. They won't have the energy to be able to go into Taiwan. You're going to slow them down on all fronts. Plus Venezuela, you don't have to dig the gold out of the ground in Venezuela. Venezuela, but they have huge gold reserves still in the ground in the mountains of Venezuela. By taking that out of the China or the, the BRICS column, by taking all of that mountain of gold away from them, that hurts them and, and slows them down at least from coming up with a currency that is a gold back currency that can knock the United States currency out of a leadership position which again helps save our country by crippling them financially. They don't have the money to buy up land here as well, to send people for training here. You are fighting the WEF fight and you're fighting the Chinese Belt and Road initiative right now. And if you can do that, they don't have the money to send people in and send all that money to our universities to buy up land to put terror on our own streets. The Marxist movements that are currently being funded here in America, a lot of that is happening in our own country because they're sending all this money. It's China, it's Iran and it is Russia that is doing most of this. We gotta find a way to cripple them. So don't make it either or we shouldn't and you weren't doing this, but we shouldn't be doing. Why are we doing this in Venezuela when we should be concentrating on this? We should be doing both. We need more than one person coming up with these things and Doing it. If Donald Trump dropped dead tomorrow, who's leading this? We need other people in states. You should be saying to your governor, why are you letting this happen in our own state? We go to Minneapolis and Minnesota. Why aren't you at the governor's doorstep right now saying, how did you let this happen? Why is he the only one that's not responsible for the biggest embezzlement or the biggest rip off in possibly American history, but certainly the history of that state? How is he not being held responsible? How is no one lost their jobs? Why is no one going to jail? Because everybody is saying, well, Donald Trump will do it. Welcome. Donald Trump's not do it. Where are you? Where are you in your own state? Where is your governor? Where is your attorney general? Where is anyone else? Let me go to Jen in North Carolina. Hi, Jen.

Jen (42:20)

Thank you, Brother Beck. Thank you for all your honesty over these years. I mean, I've been listening to you since 2002. Holy smokes. I am really, really trying to live in Thanksgiving every day. And a few days ago you were speaking about acquiring real property. And my husband and I are dual military and the army Navy game is awesome because of that dual military. But we are trying, we are really trying to find farmland and retirement coming soon.

Glenn Beck (42:55)

Yeah.

Jen (42:56)

And we've been looking across four states.

Glenn Beck (43:00)

Let me see if I can predict your problem. It's really expensive because the Bill Gates and the corporations of the world are.

Jen (43:08)

Buying it all up and they're driving the prices up and we can't even get our foot in the the door.

Glenn Beck (43:15)

Yeah.

Jen (43:16)

And I do not want to be a complainer. I want to be wise and I want a game plan. But this is starting to feel too fomo and I just need a little pick me up. I know that we'll, we will walk through with our heavenly Father, but I just need a little pick me up. And what can we do?

Glenn Beck (43:42)

Well, you keep, you keep looking. You don't give up. And you also, again, encourage others to see the problem. You know, this is why I said yesterday and I just said it a few minutes ago, when it comes to this thing about corporations not being able to buy property, I celebrated when he said that I don't agree with the solution. But at least we're having this conversation and you know, we need to, instead of just saying, you can't do that, well, let's be part of the solution. What can we do? And if the federal government won't do it again, why aren't your states. There has to be states I mean, I'm. I'm so impressed with DeSantis and the way he has run Florida and the balls that this guy has to take on things that everybody said were untouchable. He has totally transformed. And even, you know, towards the end here, he's still trying to get a property tax abolished. And he's doing it in such a way where it's all being passed into law, so it'll take a lot to undo them. Where are the other people? Are there. No. Is. Are they really seriously. That few governors that love their country. Because I don't believe this. That love their country, that want to save the Western world, to save our way of life, to save the people of their own states from being overrun by giant corporations? Really, there's nobody. I believe there are tons of patriots who are there. There are tons. I know many of your state legislators and senators because I meet with them all over the country. I believe there are tons of those people. What we have a lack of is courage. We have a lack of people in political positions that, especially in governors that have the courage to stand up and say, we're not doing that. I'm sorry, vote me out. But we're not doing it. We have to have people who are willing to lose everything. You know, and it's hard. It's really hard. When I announced what I was doing a year ago to my staff and to everybody in my life, everybody's like, glenn, what. What are you doing? Why? Why would you do that? Why? You could lose everything. You're. You're putting everything. At this point in your life, you're going to put everything at risk, and you're going to do that. Why? Why would you do that? Because I think it's the right thing to do, and I think it's the right thing for me to do, and I don't really care. I don't care if. If. As long as I am prayerfully looking at everything, as long as I am using reason, logic, and I'm doing my own homework, it may not work out the way I wanted it to work out. But I'm old enough in my life to see that even my failures have turned into success. And maybe not financial, but it has turned into success and led me to where I've needed to be. And so when you start looking at the world that way, courage changes. It changes because you're not. It's not this or that. It's. I know it's all going to be fine, and I'm going to be exactly where I'M supposed to be in life learning the lessons I'm supposed to learn in life because I'm not here to be successful. I didn't, I wasn't born to be successful and to, and to have all the money that I wanted and live the way I want or whatever. That's not why I was born. I was born to live, to live a good life, to learn, to work hard, to learn important eternal lessons and help others learn important lessons. My children number one, to help them so we as people, and me as an individual soul can grow. When you start looking at things that way, courage changes. You still might be afraid. I mean, you know, especially after Charlie Kirk died, were there times that I was very nervous about going on stage someplace? You damn right I was. But I knew everything was going to work out, even if that means the worst. It's all going to be fine. It's all going to be fine. Our politicians need to start, we need to start voting people in who understand what courage is. And what courage is is just doing the next right thing because, you know, no matter what happens to you, it's going to be okay. So when you get into office, we need to start voting for people go, look, this is just the way it is. We have to do these things. They are constitution, constitutional. I've mapped it all out and I'm not going to surrender. And if that means they shoot me, if that means I lose the next election, if that means I lose everything, fine, so be it. I was born to do what I am supposed to do. And I am born to grow and to help others grow. And at this point, Western civilization is up for grabs and I'm not going to stand around and worry about me over that.
