Nobody goes to jail for that. No one. No one pays a price. How many people in this world, let alone this country, died because of that? And by the way, what about buddying up with China and being partially responsible for Covid? Is anybody going to pay a price for that? Or do we just not care because it's science? You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck. Need a little more? Check out the full show podcasts. Anywhere you download podcasts. Let me start with Europe, and then I'm going to take you to a chalkboard. Europe is going to fall, period. And it's not going to fall because it was conquered. It's going to fall because it's decided it's not worth standing. NATO is worthless. It exists as a press release more than a deterrent. Its power is nothing but theoretical, conditional. It's wrapped in footnotes, domestic politics, all of this crap. It depends openly on the United States to do what Europe won't do, what they won't pay for, what they won't prepare for, what they won't provoke and if necessary, what they won't believe, what they will not bleed for. And I'm not bleeding for anybody else. And this is nowhere as clear as it is in Great Britain, especially today. Britain is now speaks the language. I mean, I think this is the nation of Winston Churchill that used to speak with resolve. Now their. Their language is all international law and managed transition. That's really important. Managed decline and managed transition. And they're giving up strategic ground here not because they have to, but because they don't believe. They don't believe it should carry the moral weight of power anymore. Let me tell you about Diego Garcia. Diego Garcia is one of the most strategic bases in the world. Diego Garcia is equidistant. It's, it's in the middle of the ocean, equidistant from the Middle East, East Africa, India, Pakistan, Southeast Asia and Western China. You can strike any of our, our foes in this area without flyovers because it's out in the ocean. You can't get, it's not easy to get to. We have everything staged there in case there's a problem with Taiwan, in case there's a trouble with, you know, Japan or South Korea or in the Persian Gulf. This is where aircraft carriers are stored. This is where nuclear submarines sit. I mean it is a deep water port and it's strategic. You can strike anything at any time from this location. And it doesn't have a host nation. There is no government. It's, it's just this little spot of land that we made into an, a, an air force base and a naval base. And so there's, there's no, there's no protests. There's nothing. Okay. It's just pure position of power, air base, deep water port. It's pre positioned for wars. It's listening station. It has our nukes. It watches for nuke launches from China, North Korea, Iran. It is also, when we had the space shuttle, when it would come, when it would take off, they would always say they're now past turning around. They can't land at, you know, anyplace else. They have to go to Diego Garcia because it's on the other side of the planet. And that's where sometimes our space shuttles would, would reentry. So it is important for space as well. Most importantly, it is the strategic point for all of international shipping. The reason why we have such stable international shipping to and from China and, and the Far east is because of this. It is also the reason why we have protected oil from the Straits of Hormuz because of Diego Garcia. Last year when the Prime Minister was here in Washington D.C. with our President, he said, by the way, the international courts, they're very upset. They say that we're colonialists and we don't want to be a colonialist country anymore. So we're going to have to give up Diego Garcia. But we expect you're not Going to do it. Oh, thank you. Okay. It's just. It's just better for us if we are not part of that anymore. Okay? So Trump said, I can see your point. I guess so. I mean, we'll take care of that. And so we did. Well, now. Now that Greenland, everybody's like, why? What is green? Why do you want Greenland? You're just an aggressor. No, now you've brought this up and said, this is why we want Greenland. Okay? Because what, you. You don't want an alliance. You want dependency with a smile. We're not going. We are not doing all of this for you so you can sit back and go, oh, well, we're not an aggressor. We're not a colonialist country, because we get that crap, too. We just fight it. But they gave into the International Court, okay? So, you know, they inherited security, a lot of it, from us. They outsourced their defense from us. They convinced themselves that their history was over. They dismantled their armories, their armies. They. They mocked their borders, treated their sovereignty as a social construct. And now look at the situation they're in. They've welcomed millions of people in, as have we, with no attention, no intention at all of assimilating, and then they're shocked. What, There's a parallel society happening? I don't. What. I can't. Well, we don't want to be colonizers. Well, what the hell are they? They're colonizing your country. They cut deals with Russia, even though they know that's really bad, but they do it anyway. They're. They're. They're financing the regime. Russia that they fear the most. They've chained themselves to China for manufacturing. They've hollowed out their own economies, and they've lectured the United States for being too strong. Oh, okay. Well, you know what? I think the west needs a good, strong defender myself. And here's what's happening. Donald Trump does not believe the west is a social construct. He believes it as a civilization. He believes it is something that has been good, and he believes that it's worth defending, but it'll only be defended by people who are willing to bear the cost. And Europe is not. Let me tell you, really, seriously, you know, Canada is thinking about sending a few troops to Greenland, too. Oh, boy, you scare me. Canada and France and Denmark, the only country over there that scares me is Germany. And that's just because I know what those sick freaks do. Everybody else, oh, wow. You're really frightening. You're really frightening. I don't want to take it. I don't want to send planes to Greenland. I'm not for it, any of that. I don't want war. I don't want any of it. I would like to buy it. I'd like to do a treaty. But Donald Trump, I am telling you now, he sees war on the horizon and not a war, that he is causing a war because all of these countries are collapsing. I've been talking about this for almost 20 years. The last stage is war, because that's how you change governments, currency and borders. So what America should be asking itself right now is whether or not NATO is going to survive. Is NATO going to be. Survive? Is, is it going to survive? Is Europe going to survive? Are they doing the things to make themselves stronger, or are they just a bunch of nations that just give speeches and, and resolutions, you know, because the world will once again measure things the way it used to measure things. Who showed up, who paid, who acted, who bled, who died and who hesitated. Right now, Great Britain and much of Europe are signaling something, I think, very unmistakable. They expect the United States to stand alone again while they preserve comfort, avoid confrontation, and hope history grants them one more exemption. But it's not going to. It's not going to. History doesn't grant exemptions. It doesn't. It only tests resolve. And they have no resolve to stand and be who they were born to be. I think. I mean, this is the craziest thing I've ever heard. When I got up this morning and I, I saw in the news Diego Garcia is trending. I'm like, for what? I look at, I look into it and I'm. They're giving it up. They're what? I mean, a year ago, President Trump was like, I get it. I understand. He was being a diplomat. No more time for diplomats. That now. Now Greenland, too. You're telling us. Hey, will you watch our back over in Greenland? Because we really, we, we're all, we're kind of scared of the international court. So you watch our back over here with Diego Garcia because you guys can take care of stuff. But we want Greenland. Oh. Because when the going gets tough. What, What? Let me tell you, tomorrow, Donald Trump is going to be at the World Economic Forum, and there is a speech that I want him to give. I want him to look, look the international European Community right directly in the eye and say, you know what? For more than three decades, a single idea shaped global policy. And that idea, that idea is just wrong. And we're not going to do it. The idea was that nations were outdated, that borders and sovereignty and culture and democratic consent should give way to permanent global management by unelected institutions. Not gonna stand for it. And he needs to say tomorrow that era is over. You know, it's not over because of ideology and not because of politics, but because it is a failure. It has hollowed out our middle class, not just in our country, but all over the world. It has destabilized the democracies. Are we stronger because of it? Now it rewards corruption. It punished production and replaced accountability with bureaucracy. Tell me how this is good. And then when the financial crisis comes, any crisis, financial, medical, military, it was nations, not global panels, that were forced to answer for the consequences. It was individual nations that answered for it. Except for Covid. And look at your track record on that. Donald Trump needs to look him right straight in the eye tomorrow and say, let me be very clear. Cooperation is not over. Trade is not over. Engagement is not over. But what is over is the belief that the world can be run by people who no one elected, using rules no one voted on, enforced by institutions that no one can ever remove or stop. What's begun is a return to reality, and I'm your reality check. A return to strong, sovereign nations working together openly, directly, and with responsibility to their own citizens first. Because that's the only model that has ever produced lasting peace and prosperity. And it's not theory. I'm not. I'm not here to tell you. I hope he says something like this to tell you a theory. I'm here to take action because it's already underway in the Arctic Circle, in the North Atlantic. We are acting to secure critical shipping lanes, energy access, defense, infrastructure, because the map matters, geography matters, Greenland matters. And ignoring that reality doesn't make it disappear in our own hemisphere. We are confronting the collapse of Venezuela, a country destroyed by corruption, criminal networks, and authoritarian rule. And you want more of it. It's not just a tragedy for its people, it's a regional security and. And migration crisis. And we're not going to pretend like you're pretending otherwise. Now, accountability has got to begin, and we begun it in the Middle East. We're dealing with Iran as it is, not as we wish it were. Nuclear ambitions, terrorism, regional destabilization. They're not misunderstandings. Those are clear choices. And choices have consequences. And at the same time, we're restoring energy realism, industrial strength. We're securing our borders. We're. We're trying to bolster our currency sovereignty at home because we cannot lead abroad if we're weak within. What I want the President to say at the World Economic Forum tomorrow is this. Let me say this directly to you. I came here with all of my people because I want you to know America is done outsourcing its strength. We're done outsourcing our security and our future. We're done pretending that prosperity comes from paperwork instead of production, or that peace comes from a conference instead of deterrence. But no, we're not turning inward. I invite every serious nation here to work with us, not through a distant bureaucracy, not through ideological frameworks, but nation to nation with clarity, fairness, and mutual respect. If you believe in growth built on work, security built on strength, cooperation built on consent, then there's a place side of America for what's coming next. Because you're denying what's coming next. If you believe the old system can just be managed better, regulated more carefully, or explained more pervasive, persuasively with your. With your citizens, then understand this. The world has already moved on from you. You already have lost. And I may be a temporary president, but I'm doing everything I can. This is not a pause, and it's not a negotiation. I'm here to announce a transition. The era of unaccountable global management is over. The era of sovereign cooperation has begun. We're moving forward decisively, openly and with confidence. You want to join us? We welcome you as a partner. But we're not waiting around, because what's coming is not good, and it's right around the corner. You imagine the President coming in and say that. I mean, that is a. That's a Gorbachev tear down these walls speech. And that's exactly what he needs to say. That's what Reagan said by saying, you know, tear down this wall. What he was saying was, your era is over, and that's what the President needs to say tomorrow. And I hope he's. I hope he's there. I really hope he's there. He. I mean, he's got to be. I mean, everything he's saying, he knows what he's dealing with, but he is. He's bringing everybody. We're having the largest delegate delegation anyone has ever bought brought to Davos, and that's tomorrow. And I think that's just to show strength in numbers. Like, okay, we'll be on every single one of your little conference talks. United States is going to be heard on this. We're playing a different game. Wouldn't that be nice?
