For years, I have heard the same story from listener after listener after listener. They know they need help with their hearing, but they are intimidated by the process of getting that help. And it's also really expensive. The tiny budget, the little gadget apps that you have to fight with. It's too much. Well, somebody finally said, why don't we just make this simple and affordable? It's called the Atom X and it's from Audien. It is the first over the counter hearing aid with a touchscreen built right into the case. You don't need a prescription, there's no confusion. You just open it, you put it in and you tap the screen and you're hearing clearly. Even, even the settings and the volume just feel obvious. It's like something you might have used your whole life. Audien built this around real people, not technical gimmicks designed with input from audiologist. Meaning? Meaning really good, smart people to help you live your everyday life. Family, dinner, church, work, watching tv, whatever. I want you to get this now at Audien. All you have to do is just go to audience. Com. Audience. Com. Hello, America. Now, you know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you right now. Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and leave a comment. Because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement and you're part of it. Big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top rate, review, share. Together we'll make a difference and thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. Like the flame, pass it on, Crank the game. Glam back is on. Glenn Beck is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Glenn Beck is on. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We got a lot to talk about today. There is new news on who is actually funding all of this, what these organizations are already doing. We're going to break some, some news today and expose a very complex network and one of the leaders in this network. We're going to do that here in just a second. Also we're going to go over Donald Trump's art of the deal, the deal that he made yester. A lot of people feel like this is not so good. I know that's the way I felt about it until I started looking into it. And then I started thinking about Donald Trump and the art of the deal, and I'm not sure. And I actually think it might be really good, might be genius. But I want to make sure that I put a caveat on that. I wrote down some things that we have to watch for. It is a genius move if certain things happen in the future. It's a retreat if those things don't happen. And that's gonna lead to some very, very bad things, I think. But this could, again, be another one of those moments where, you know, the guy has made so many genius moves where you're like, what is he doing? And then he wins, and you're like, wow, what that. I don't want to count him out. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt until we see what is actually going on. And so I'm gonna give that to you here in just a second. Also, I spent a lot of time yesterday just thinking about, who are we fighting and how do you fight this? I'm talking about Minnesota, and I. I came up with a plan, but I'm not sure anybody's gonna like it. Oh, man. I'm the only. I am the only talk show host that I think has ever been done. A talk show host where it's like, yeah, you know, the audience probably won't like that. Yeah. But I think it's right. So what the hell, why don't we just blow. Why don't we just blow ourselves up? So I'm gonna share something that I think is absolutely. It feels absolutely right, but it's gonna take you a second to breathe and go, let me see if I understand that. But we'll talk about that coming up in about an hour. Also, Data Republican is going to be joining us for our number three on today's podcast. We begin in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about the burner launcher. With everything we've seen recently, including some stark, sobering moments of violence in places like Minneapolis, a lot of people are forced to think through the possibilities that they'd rather not contemplate. In a true life or death emergency, there are moments where people have no choice but to use legal force to protect themselves or their families. That, unfortunately, is a really heavy reality. And it's something that you shouldn't take lightly. And I know you don't but not every dangerous situation calls for a lethal response. Sometimes you need distance. Sometimes you need time. Sometimes you need a way to stop a threat without making a decision you just cannot undo. That's where the Burner launcher comes in. It's a less lethal CO2 projectile launching self defense tool that is designed to help disrupt a threat and create the opportunity to get to safety. The Berna Compact Launcher takes that step further. It's a smaller, easier to carry, easier to conceal, and it makes it practical for everyday life. It launches tear gas, pepper spray and a dramatic punch. Go to Burna.com Glenn B Y R N A dot com Glenn learn more. You can try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse located near you.

The Free Beacon also came out yesterday and exposed the Sunrise movement that is funded by the usual suspect, Soros Tides Ford. O' Keefe said yesterday he was in Minneapolis and he said there is a territory that is absolutely absence of police. They knew his license plate. They said, you're driving this and if you're not out of the city within one hour, you're dead. He said somebody frisked him and the Marine that he was with as if they were the police. I mean, Minneapolis is out of control. It is important for people to understand what is going on because this is not a protest. This is an insurgency. On today's podcast and@glenn beck.com I want to take that torch and light our way here and expose another one of the organizing engines behind this unrest. And once you see it clearly, you'll understand this is not about immigration, compassion or civil rights. This is an insurgency, not a protest. It's about power. It's about ideology. It is about a movement that doesn't believe that America even has a right to exist. We have been working alongside with the nonprofit Morrow Institute, which this is what they do for a living. And they have uncovered the operational and ideological footprint of a group quietly embedded in the anti ice organizing network in Minnesota. I just have to tell you that I am, I am so happy to see what people have done with their spare time. When I started exposing these things back in, you know, the early 2000s, nobody was on it. Very few people, I shouldn't say nobody. Very few people were on it and it was very hard to track these things down. Now with the Internet and ChatGPT and everything else, you can move pretty quickly. It's still. You still are required to have some investigative footing and knowledge, but it is a lot easier than it was. And like I just said, you have o', Keefe, you have the Free Beacon, you have Azro Nomani, you have us@glennbeck.com and you're seeing these networks in real time. So the one that the Morrow Institute tipped us off on today, and you'll find this article at GlennBeck.com in Minnesota is the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Committee. It's known as Miracle Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee, I think it is. And you're not going to hear that name on cable news, and you're not going to see it in press releases from city hall, but you will find it inside the signal chats that were used to organize resistance to federal law enforcement. And not casually. MIRAC is listed as a recommended training resource. And that's all in the documents that are circulating among all the activists. Documents instructing participants to, and I quote, train up community members in rapid response and intervention, end quote. And here's their specialty. Immigrant response training. I'm sorry, immigration raid response trainings. Now that sounds benign, I guess, until you read what MIRAC actually believes. Okay? And this was important during blm, people were used by blm, and it didn't catch on for a while until it just started. People started going to jail. Um, but, you know, we told you at the very beginning of blm, you have to know what they stand for. They are for the destruction of America and the destruction of the nuclear family. And when you go back and you look at their founding documents and their own words and what they are currently for, it should open your mind and open your eyes and say, wait a minute, I don't want to partner with these guys, okay? What they expose about themselves in their posts, you know, in. In their own words, in their alliances, is this. And this is really important. This leads to something from next hour that I really am anxious to talk to you about and get your opinion on. But they're not about seeking reform, okay? They're not about reconciliation. They're not about fixing the problem. They are seeking abolition and abolition of borders, any deportation, no enforcement in the United States and the abolition of the United States as it is presently constituted. Okay? So no America. They openly call the American immigration system and the criminal justice system fundamentally unjust, racist, and white supremacist. Uh, they declare solidarity with popular movements abroad. They explicitly expose US Action anywhere in the world. So this is not civil disobedience this has nothing to do with what's happening in Minneapolis, okay? None of it. This is a revolutionary ideology. And behind all the soft language is something far harder. The Morrow Institute, the researchers there identify Mirac is part of what they call, and we've talked about this here recently a lot, the Turtle Island Infantada in Turtle island is what the ancient natives used to call America. Okay? This whole continent was Turtle Island. And so if you're part of Turtle island, they're trying to make this. They're trying to take the entire continent of North America and make it into Palestine, an occupied territory. And this Turtle Movement, Turtle island movement denies the, the idea of America's right to exist. It in any way. The same way the radical groups deny Israel's right to exist. And one Mirac post made it really, really explicit. They said, from Turtle island to Palestine, occupation is a crime. Turtle island, again, what they call North America, they believe it has to be liberated. And if that language sounds familiar, it should because we know exactly how liberation movements operate when they adopt the language of resistance. Intifada and occupation. October 7th should have ended any ambiguity, any ambiguity, ambiguity at all. I mean, it didn't, but it should have, but it certainly didn't. With Mirak, their response to the October 7th massacre was not grief. There was no condemnation, not even an acknowledgment of Israeli civilians murdered in their homes. Instead, Mirak declared solidarity with Palestine and endorsed the so called right of return and repeated the chant on October 7 from the river to the sea. Then they went further. In April 2024, Mirac Co published a statement praising Iran's missile attack on Israel, calling it justified under international law and lauding Iran's support for the Palestinian existence. So you have this so far. The people in Minnesota, they say America has no right to exist, Israel has no right to exist. And one of their partners in this, this utopian society are you know, anybody who is trying to destroy America, and that includes Iran, that I remind you, Yesterday, the last two days, now it's up to 35,000 people they have executed. Okay, so this organization that is part of the problem, part of the crime, I believe the insurrection in Minnesota that is whipping people into a frenzy. They are for the Iranian government.

They'Re partners in the statement, including groups previously identified by researchers as pro terrorism, including organizations with documented links to foreign influence and revolutionary communist movements. And it's not a coincidence. This is a coalition. Later, Mirac announced a march for Iran. They condemned the United States for bombing innocent Iranians And Venezuelans. They have promoted pro Cuba activism. They have joined coalitions whose own own website supported October 7th attack. Frame Russia and China as victims of America. Okay? I mean it. And this is all before we get to any violence, because MIRAC doesn't just merely tolerate violent rhetoric, it amplifies it. There is a flyer published by Mirac that features the phrase bash the fash alongside with an image of a bloodied severed head and a slogan long associated with, you know, antifa style street violence. So they're, they're close allies. Publicly pledged to defend activists politically and physically if necessary. They openly endorse the unified Palestinian resistance. They called October 7th morally justified and they draw a line really. Clearly, violence against ICE isn't violence. It's resistance. When a protester is shot, MIRAC rejects any attempt to condemn the unrest. This is what they've just recently wrote. There is violence and there is resistance to violence. They must never be equated. Okay? Days earlier, they issued a message to the Minnesota leadership. ICE is waging war on our city. Fight back if you won't keep MPD out of our way. So in other words, they're telling people, if you're not going to get violent, we will. You just keep the Minnesota Police, Minneapolis Police Department out of our way. Another post celebrated the activists that were, quote, organized, militant and ready to fight back. They brag about forming human chains to stop federal vehicles. They boast about mobilizing hundreds within an hour. They promise more training for the next confrontation. And they provide resources that support all arrestees regardless of the charge, rejecting any kind of distinction between peaceful protest and criminal destruction. And the most, I think, chilling is this comparison. This was published on the Mirac link social media. ICE is equated with the Israeli military. Now this is why it's chilling. If you understand what Mirac partners want done to the Israeli military, you understand the implication. This is not a protest. This is pre justification. This is rhetorical framework that transforms law enforcement into enemy occupiers and then calls killing them resistance. So here's the truth that the media is not going to say. And quite honestly, some people, you know, on our side are not going to say. But it is really important. Please, please listen to our number two of Today show. Please. Because I'm going to take you places that I don't think anybody else will take you. And I mean anybody else will take you. You. And I think it's really important. But here's what you need to hear right now. America can debate immigration policy. We could debate that all the way along. We've been debating it since almost the beginning of our country. We can argue about enforcement, priorities. America can reform laws. We can condemn the police or understand the police. We can condemn protesters, and we can understand protesters. But this is an organized ideological assault and one that rejects the legitimacy of the United States itself, aligns itself with foreign adversaries, excuses terrorism, and normalizes violence as a political tool. This is not part of the, of a civil society. What they're trying to do is seize civil society. And let me give you the missing piece because this is where people get fooled. Let me do that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's rough greens. A lot of dog owners think that they've done their job. As long as the bowl is full and they're, you know, and their dog is eating, on the surface, that seems great. The problem is that, you know, you pick a good food and you stick with it and your dog seem happy. But, but really most dog food is highly pro processed. And during that process, a lot of the nutrients actually, you know, they don't survive in at least in a form where their body can really use it. And over time, that shows up as digestive issues, lower energy. A dog that just isn't vibrant. And you just chalk that up to, well, he's getting old. And that's not true. I mean, he might be getting old, but there is something else going on as well. They need nutrients. Don't change your dog's food. Ruff Greens will close that gap.

Back in 10 seconds. Glenn Beck is on. Okay, if you're standing in Minnesota right now and you're angry about the immigration policy, I can understand that you're worried about overreach. I can understand that you believe enforcement should be humane, limited and constitutional. I'm behind that. You, if that's what you believe, are not the problem. But you are standing next to people who are playing a very different game for a different outcome. And you deserve to know that. Most protesters don't wake up believing in Turtle Island. Most protesters in America don't want a borderless world. Most do not believe America is illegitimate occupation that has to be liberated. But the people who are organizing you do Believe those things. And they're not handing out pamphlets to say we want to overthrow the United States. They don't lead with we deny America's right to exist. They don't. They don't lead with that stuff. They lead with. They lead with raid response, community defense, rapid intervention. That's the on ramp. And once you're on that on ramp, the language slowly changes and you're slowly boiled. Ice isn't law enforcement anymore, it's an occupying force. Enforcement isn't policy, it's state violence. Stopping vehicles is not obstruction, it's resistance. Violence isn't violence, it's liberation. That's not accidental. That is ideological conditioning. Once you step onto that on ramp where you don't know what their intent is, you're cooked. And here's the critical question that everybody needs to ask themselves right now. How many people in that crowd actually believe what Mirac believes? I don't know. And that is the danger. Because Mirac does not require everybody to agree. All it requires is cover. Every single peaceful protester becomes camouflage for them. Every well meaning neighbor becomes legitimacy. Every chant about compassion shields an ideology that openly praises Iran, excuses October 7th and aligns itself with groups that justify terrorism as self defense. And when an organization says North America is occupied territory, when it calls liberation from Minnesota to Palestine, when it celebrates a diversity of tactics, it leads not to anything other than our destruction. That's not activism. More in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's American Giant. Most clothing today is built for speed and cost and not for long term use. It's made overseas, it's made quickly and it's made to be replaced, not to last. Well, American Giant is different. They were founded to do the opposite. Their clothes were made right here in the United States of America, supporting American workers, American factories and the kind of manufacturing base this country used to be known for. And that commitment to America shows up in, in the quality in the fabric. The fabric, it's substantial without being stiff. The stitching is built to hold up. The fit is designed for real people living real lives, not just for a photo shoot or a season trend. This is the kind of clothing that you can wear. You can wear it hard, you can wash it often and you can keep it for years. And it doesn't fall apart after a few months and it doesn't lose its shape after a handful of wears. When you buy American from American Giant, you're not just getting better clothes. You're supporting company that believes in qual quality manufacturing. Here on American soil. So go today.

But as we break, Jason, our chief researcher, he goes in and he talks to the insiders. It's a really cool community as well and, and kind of sweeps things up. I was just listening to him and he was talking about what Trump did yesterday with Minnesota and, and, and how he felt a little angry yesterday. And, and quite honestly, I agree because what I see here happening in Minnesota is an insurrection. Clearly it's an insurrection. I mean, and we've got the paperwork, we have the goods on it. And I want those people arrested, I want them tried and if they're found guilty, I want them in jail. But I think Trump does too. He's not stupid. He's not stupid. When I first saw this story yesterday, what he was doing, I thought, is he waving the white flag? What is he doing? What is he doing? Is this all about the election and getting reelected and he's got to make nicey nice? And I don't think it is. It is if you are, if you are reacting emotionally. And I want to say this, I could be wrong on this. So I don't mean to belittle you or have you think that I'm smarter than you because I can guarantee you I'm not in almost all but Al Gore's case, I'm not smarter than you. I just look at things differently and I could be wrong. But I'll give you a lens to see this through and then a chart on how we're going to know whether it is a red, it is a white flag or not. Okay? And I don't think it is a white flag. If you're looking at this through the lens of traditional political or cable news, you're going to look at this and say this is a retreat. However, if you look at it as a counter insurgency, if you look at it through that lens of counterinsurgency federalism and an optics war lens, then it's different. Okay, let me walk you through this because what we're seeing Trump shift the battlefield, not abandon it. And let me take you through this cleanly and tactically here. First, what would a surrender or a blink actually look like, if Trump was blinking, this is what would happen. He would end the enforcement nationwide. He would call off ICE operations. He would publicly repudiate Homan or Miller. He would admit wrongdoing or illegality, and he would accept the Gestapo snatching people off the streets narrative. None of that happened. Instead, now think of him in art of the deal. He narrowed the enforcement criteria. Political pressure is rerouted, optics cooled, legal authority preserved, responsibility transferred back to the states. This is not a surrender. I believe this is a reframing of the fight. And it's really smart. If this is what it is, it's really smart. The real strategic objective here that I think most people are going to miss is, you know, when I. When I just said, you know, he would. He narrowed the enforcement criteria. Let me ask you, what was his criteria? Because I had a problem with it when he said it months ago. What was the enforcement criteria? Was it to go scoop up every illegal on the streets? Was it. Was it to send everybody who came here to send them home? Is that what ICE was doing? Because it wasn't. Because I remember when he said it, I'm like, what? We should be sending everybody that was here home? And he said, no, no, no. The goal here is to get the really bad criminals off the streets. That's what he wanted. So the goal was never ICE agents everywhere, all the time. The goal was this force blue state leadership to choose publicly and unmistakably between protecting violent criminals or cooperating with law, federal law enforcement. Okay? That's what he's been saying, the whole thing. How are you people defending this? These are rapists in your community. So what Trump has just done is he has separated into three groups. One, the violent criminal illegals, easily moral. Everybody's for that. Okay. To the local state officials who shield them. There's another group. And three, the protest movements trying to provoke a legitimacy crisis. So he's now broken those three up. Minnesota was sliding towards a designed confrontation. Street chaos, viral clips, allegations of federal overreach. The Senate Dems were threatening a shutdown. The media was building an authoritarian. We were headed towards everything that there's no way out. Okay? And that environment only benefits one side, and it isn't the Trump side, It's not our side. It. The only thing he could have done was escalate. And do you think that's what they didn't want? That's exactly what they wanted. So he changed the terrain. He also. And this is a. This is telling to me, he also went and relieved the U.S. border Patrol commander Gregory Bevino. So this was part of it that really bothered me. Okay. Because it's the hardest part emotionally. Here's a guy who is very, very clear on things, but it is the clearest tactically. Pavino was a guy who was saying, I mean, he even said something, it was absolutely wrong this weekend. You don't have a right to carry a gun at a protest. No. You don't have a right to interfere with police. Once you engage with police and you're carrying a gun, then that's a different story. But he said a lot of things. He was defending some things that I thought were a little indefensible, but he was, he was a lightning rod. He was a walking headline. He was a pretext for the Senate Democrats. I mean, he was a symbol. Whether it was fair or not doesn't matter. Perception is reality. He was rogue federal officer escalating online while operating in a blue city. That's poison. If you're in an optics war, and every war must worry about optics, if you're going to win, you have to worry about optics. So what is, what does Trump do? He rotates that guy out. Well, now the Senate shutdown talks, that weakens that. They're not. How are you going to shut down? He's, he's giving. Right. The media narratives loses the villain, the Department of Homeland Security regains message discipline and the fight moves from personality back to policy. This is classic Trump. What does Trump say in Art of the deal? And we've seen him do it over and over and over again, Never die on someone else's hill if it isn't the hill you chose. Don't die on a hill they're choosing. Only die on the hill you choose. So when he talks to waltz and fry, I don't think this is capitulation. I think these were traps. Let me read the three point plan again carefully. Okay. What he didn't ask for, he didn't ask for sanctuary repeal. He didn't ask for universal cooperation and he didn't ask for mass raids. He asked for one narrow, morally defensible thing. Okay. Turn over the illegal immigrants already in prison and in jail for rape and murder and everything else. That's it. Which is what he said he wanted in the first place. Okay. I think this whole push again has been overton window. He wanted the ones who were on the streets raping. That's who they were arresting. Now he's just said, give me the ones you already have in prison. Okay, this does two things. It isolates the Extremists. Because if Walson Fry refused that, well, now what? Excuse me, I, I, I, I said, you do it. I'm not asking for everybody, you know, all the Somalis that live on the street. I'm asking for the rapists and the traffickers and the violent offenders, the ones that you have already arrested. Why are you defending them now? They have to go on record. No ambiguity. That takes all of the political weight off of them and shifts it back to Trump. It shifts accountability. Now, truth. Now Trump can actually truthfully say, look, I offered a focused, humane, criminal only solution, and they're still standing in the way. That's devastating in court, that's devastating in Congress, that is devastating in public opinion. Win. Next. Agents are leaving Minneapolis. What does that mean? When I read that, I'm like, what? This line is doing enormous psychological work for the left, or is it? Because what's likely happening is metro surges are scaling down, the overt presence is reduced, the intelligence warrants and targeting is continuing, but cooperation is demanded through custody and transfers instead of street ops. Get those guys first. In other words, less spectacle, same authority, cleaner lanes. You know, I've been saying for the last few days, Trump wants this to be boring. He wants this to be boring. This should not be a daily spectacle. This should be boring. We're going and getting the good guys, you know, I'm sorry, we're going to get the bad guys and the good guys are winning. But that's not what's happening now. Trump does not need ICE agents. Classic clashing with protesters on camera. Deport criminals. Have you been watching this at all and thought, what is the rest of the world seeing this through their eyes, through the BBC and everybody else? You know how this is making America look? We look like Iran because of the way it's being spun around the rest of the world. And I'm not saying that's true, but optics matter. He needs paper trails, custody chains and legal clarity. Now he pulls one guy out and he says, we're sending in somebody else that can work with you. And who does he send? This is the real tell. Tom Homan. If this was a retreat or a white flag, Homan would not be the guy who is being sent in. Okay? Instead, Homan is sent in. He's the face, he's the negotiator, he's the enforcer. After all the political dust settles, Homan is not a cupcake. I don't know if you've noticed that, okay? That should tell you every, that, to me is a Signal to you who are like, I think he just. I think he just surrendered. No, he sent in Tom Holman. That's like sending into Iran, you know what? We're going to negotiate, and we're sending Raisin Cane. Homan's role is just really simple. You don't have to like us. Just hand over the criminals. I'm just here to get the criminals. You already have. Just hand them over. And if Minnesota complies, Trump wins quietly. If Minnesota refuses, Trump wins loudly. That's not blinking. That's checkmate positioning. And here's a deeper play. They're denying the left a legitimacy crisis. The left wants and needs images of federal agents versus crowds of civilians. Okay? They need claims of unconstitutional mass arrests. They're not happening. You know, it's not happening. But does the world know that? Does America need that? The left needs a moral panic, a shutdown showdown, international condemnation narratives. Trump once again boring. Enforcement, narrow targets, governors on the hook, courts on his side, public exhaustion with the activists, not with him and the law enforcement side. So. So he did what they hate most. I think he de escalated without conceding any authority. So what is this moment? Actually, I feared and I said this yesterday before this was announced. I fear, you know, you have to go after them. Otherwise, if you leave, you're. You're Reagan in Beirut, and that's really bad. This is not Reagan in Beirut. This is Grant pausing before the next push, letting the other side step forward and expose itself. Trump did not blink. He lowered the noise. He tightened the rules. He moved the burden. He preserved legitimacy. He forced his opponents to make their own choices, loudly and publicly on center stage. And now Minnesota's leaders are standing alone saying, will not help remove criminals. I've been looking for things that are going to break spells because, honestly, I think it's a spell. I do. You know, you can look at it in the old. You know, the old way, or you can look at it just as words and media are so powerful, it's like casting a spell. But how do you break the spell of reasonable people who don't hate America? They don't want, you know, they don't look at America as Turtle Island. They don't want to destroy everything. How do you look at. How do you break that spell and say, look what you're doing. This is it. This is it. I think could be wrong. Love to hear your thoughts on the Insider more in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Z Factor. I want you to Imagine something for a minute. Imagine you're going through your day and feeling like you actually got rest for the night. You know, your head is clear, your patience is longer. You're not, you know, you're not counting the hours until you can lie down again. If that's hard to imagine, you're not alone.

If you're watching@glennbeck.com I may join Jason if he wants because I'm not gonna have any time to talk about how we're gonna know how we can measure whether this is what I said it is or if this was a white flag. I've got it up on the chalkboard, but it'll take me five or six minutes to go through. We can go through that. If you're listening@glennbeck.com join us at the Torch. No credit card or anything required this week. All you have to do is just go to glenn beck.com hit the watch now button and, and watch online. Glenn beck.com more in a minute. So let me tell you about burn a launcher. There is a difference between feeling safe and being prepared. Feeling safe is what you have when nothing's happening. Prepared is what you have when something does burn. A compact launcher built for that. Second category. It's a non lethal personal defense tool designed to give you options in moments where need distance and time and a way out without escalating the situation further than it needs to go. The compact launcher is small, lightweight and easy to carry, which is the entire point. It's a tool that stays at home and that doesn't help you when you're on the road. This is not a tool. This one fits into real life so you can actually be there when it matters. And because it's non lethal, legal in all 50 states, it doesn't require a permit. There's no paperwork and no second guessing. You don't have to overcomplicate it. You just have to have it with you. This is not about living in fear or expecting trouble. It's about closing the gap between bad moment and a safe exit. This is the tool that can help you do that. I want you to go to Burnaby rna.com Glenn learn more about it. I carry one. My kids all have one. My wife has one in her purse in the glove box. We are prepared. Uh, and we don't want to take somebody's life unless we absolutely have to. But this is the first line of defense. Stop them in their tracks. Glenn. You can try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse located near you. Just go to byrna.com glenn to find out where.

Pass it on. Crank the game. Glam back is on. Glam back is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Today we are going to talk about what is happening in Minneapolis. And I spent a long time thinking about what is the possible motivation on what's going on other than the destruction of America. And I couldn't come up with one because everything that the left is doing now in Minnesota does not lead to what Martin Luther King used to say, reconciliation. Because at the end, you can't have a winner and a loser. You can't have, you know, can't have a winner and a loser with us because if we, if we don't change people's hearts, then you have half the country that still believes what they do, and they want to kill you. And we need reconciliation. So that's what Martin Luther King was doing. So how do you wake people from this spell that they're under? And it's a bad spell, And I'll talk about that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Rush Tax. I don't endorse tax resolution companies lightly. You know, this is an industry with a lot, a lot of really bad actors and a lot of people that, you know, end up worse off when. Than when they started before they called this tax resolution company. And I've done my homework, and when a company asked me, you know, to represent them, especially somebody who says, I can represent you, a serious IRS problem, they got to, look, they got to go through a lot of hoops with me and my staff. First, we ask hard questions, we look at track records, we make sure they're the real deal. And that is exactly what happened with Rush Tax. Rush Tax, they get in the trenches with people who are dealing with levies, garnishments, back taxes, serious pressure from the irs, and they build a real plan forward. And when you mention my name, Rush is going to provide a free IRS transcript investigation. This is a service that firms usually charge about 500 bucks, often without confirming they can help you at all. Rush offers this upfront and for free. And they will only take your case if they know they can help you, period. They don't wait or hope. The problem just disappears. And don't. You shouldn't do that either. Get a Rush tax attorney and protect yourself right now. 877-554-rush 877-554-7874 or go to rush taxresolution.com so half the country is under a spell. And I think it's why the scriptures say we don't fight flesh and bone. We fight principalities. We fight. We fight evil. Because only evil, this is not. This is not human. That is making somebody say this. This is a health care worker in Virginia. Her name is Melinda. She works at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. And she has posted a series of tiktoks. And I want you to listen to what she is saying. Listen to this. Cut four.

I thought of something good. I think it's the weirdest, but sabotage tactic or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers grab some syringes with needles on the end, have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever, whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe. All right? The single ladies where these ICE guys are going have a chance to do something, you know, not without risk, but could help the cause for sure. Get on Tinder, get on Hinge. Find these guys. They're around. They're an ICE agent. Bring some Ex Lax and put it in their drinks. Get them sick. You know, nobody's gonna die. Just enough to incapacitate them, get them off the street for the next day.
- [50:41]
Glenn Beck
Okay, so she's saying spike their food, get them sick. She was talking about filling a syringe with a paralytic just to scare them. That's sick. I mean, is anybody for that? Listen to this. This is James o'. Keefe. Yesterday. He wrote yesterday. I've never experienced anything quite like today in my life. I've interacted with a cartel. I've witnessed crazy things. But what strikes me in Minnesota is how organized these agitators in Minneapolis are. They have spotters everywhere in the city and the suburbs, on street corners, even 30 minutes away from downtown. They have people at hotels that work with them and signal to them, which made it making it difficult for us to lose our tail. Once my cover was blown, I usually lose a tail. Not this time. I switched locations three times. I recorded and posted this while leaving this area, while they were still surveilling, surveying. We all agreed we must take these threats public as soon as possible, even if we had people still in the field with hidden cams. Earlier, around noon, Cam Higby released his report on signal threads. I was inside of what appeared to be a fully autonomous zone. Remember that in Seattle, the Chad autonomous zone, no police presence. The police had been told to leave. I identified myself as Press and they said they would kill Press and they would not let me leave. My skin was fully covered because it was so cold, but because they couldn't verify who I was, they screamed and started throwing ice bottles at us. One hit the Marine who was with me. They patted him down like they were the authorities attempting to confiscate any weapons. They were set to destroy our vehicle before we even got to it. I have a full video report shortly. This is an insurrection. And, and so I've been thinking for the last few days, so how do you stop this? Because it's going to force the President to declare an insurrection and that's going to give them what they want. They're very well organized and you go to civil war. And I thought, how does anybody buy into this stuff? How are these people? Because they've been slowly boiled like a frog, okay? They don't know who they're standing next to. And how do you break that spell? Well, there's only one way to break a spell like this, and I want to give it to you. I'm going to take a one minute break and then I'm going to come back. Station is I'm breaking early because I don't want to interrupt this thought and I want to give it to you. And I would ask that you just give me 10 minutes and hear me out. You may not like it when I first start talking about it, but I think it is the only answer. 60 seconds. A lot of people look at their mortgage and just assume that it's kind of what it is. You know, the rate is the rate, the payment is the payment, and you just keep sending that check every month, hoping things get easier someday. But a mortgage isn't supposed to be a life sentence. It's a financial tool. And like any tool, it should work for you and not the other way around. That's where American finance financing comes in. They focus on helping homeowners restructure their loans in a way that can lower monthly payments, pay off the high interest debt, or simply just make the numbers fit in your real life a little better. They don't start with a sales script. They start with your situation, your goals and your budget and what would actually take the pressure off your household. Every single month, they walk you through all those options so you can make a decision that makes sense for you. It's easy. Your home should be a place of stability, not a source of constant financial stress. There are no upfront fees. You can find out if you qualify now. Just call American Financing, 8009-062448-00906, 2440 or go to americanfinancing.net nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for rates.

Glenn Beck
Now. Ten seconds. We're back. Okay, so your thinking and mine has been we have got to send in more troops. We have got to send. We've got to take control of this situation. That's what they want. So what if we thought of something completely different? And I want you just to imagine for a second imagine something. What would happen if we imagined something different that wasn't louder, not angrier, you know, not more certain of our own righteousness, but higher. As I look through history, it tells us the greatest moments of change did not come when one side finally crushed the other. When real change comes is when ordinary people choose a courage that felt almost unreasonable at the time. Two figures in history have proven this. Martin Luther King, he called it unarmed truth and unconditional love. Gandhi called it truth force. Both of them believed in something totally radical, that the strongest force in human affairs is not domination, but a disciplined compassion that is so visible, so undeniable when it shows up that it actually unsettles even those who are prepared for violence. It's unsettling. It breaks spells. So for just a minute, imagine. Not instruct, not demand, but imagine. What if in a moment like this, a third presence appeared? You have ice, you have all the people that are angry on that side, and then you have these agitators and insurrectionists on the other side that are willing to do anything. Okay? And then a third presence not aligned with rage, not aligned with fear, not aligned with vengeance or defiance, just aligned with human dignity. What if there were men and women who would step forward not to confront, not to shout, not to accuse, just to stand? What if there was a group of people that locked arms not in hostility, but in resolve? What if there were a group of people that became a living boundary not against people, but against chaos. What if there was a group of people that would not carry weapons? They would not chant insults. They would not demand surrender. They would not respond. They would say nothing at all. They would just simply stand between anger and authority, between accusation and response, bearing their own bodies as witnesses to a simple truth. That no worker, whether you're an ice agent or an ice cream vendor, should ever have to fear for their life in doing their job. That no protester, however passionate, should ever be manipulated into becoming a pawn in someone else's strategy of escalation. That human life is not a prop. Tragedy is not a tactic. Imagine the cameras not capturing fists or fear, just faces. Faces calm in the storm. Faces resolved, not reactive. Faces that refuse to mirror the violence that they stood against. Imagine the confusion that would cause. And it wouldn't. It wouldn't cause outrage. It would cause hesitation. People would all of a sudden go, wait, what is happening here? Because Martin Luther King and Gandhi both knew this kind of action does something extraordinary, okay? It denies. It denies both sides their expectation of conflict. King taught non violence is not the absence of tension. It is the creation of a moral tension that is so pure, it demands reflection instead of retaliation. When they were sick in the dogs on Martin Luther King's people, when they were beating them, when they were fire hose, the rest of the country looked at that and said, wait, what is happening? See, there were real racists in the 1960s, obviously, and there still are, but there were real racists. And then there were people like, probably like my grandparents who had grown up being told things, and it was just the way it was. And they weren't racists, but they were kind of asleep. They were just, you know, that's just the way it was. And then Martin Luther King came along, and then they saw people that they related to because, you know, we shouldn't have interracial marriage or whatever they were thinking at the time. And then they saw Martin Luther King come along and he breaks all of everything that they've ever thought or ever been told about black people. And then they see that, wait, wait, my side is hosing these people down. My side is sicing dogs on them. They're not my side. And it breaks the spell. If they were violent, it would have done exactly the same. It just would have divided everybody more. Martin Luther King realized, you've got to win the hearts of the other side and break the spell. And so the narrative shifts. Not us versus them, not oppressors versus victims. But a different question begins to rise in the mind of the public, why are these people willing to risk themselves? Why aren't they fighting? Why? Why not fight? Why are they standing there to protect? What do they see? What do they have that I don't know or have forgotten? Martin Luther King said it over and over again because people argued with him that surrender, it's not weakness. It's not surrender, it's strength. It's strength so composed that it refuses to be dragged down. And Gandhi believed that when truth is embodied, not shouted, embodied, lived, it becomes unavoidable. King believed love, when disciplined and public will shame injustice without humiliating the unjust. And perhaps, just perhaps, this is how nations change. Not when one side breaks the other, but when enough people remember the goal was never victory. The goal was reconciliation. I don't want victory over my family members that don't talk to me anymore. I want reconciliation. I want to come back together. I want peace, but I want peace with justice. I want a future where our children can inherit something better than just anger at one another. So I ask you today, what would happen if we remembered that? What if we allowed ourselves to believe again that there still is a higher third road, and walking that road just might be the most powerful thing we could ever do. Not because it's easy, not because it guarantees success, but it reminds us who we are capable of being. Could we, in a country of 350 million people, find 350 people that would be willing to do that? Who would be mentally and spiritually prepared enough to do that? This is. This. This terrified me when I thought about this last night. I'm not sure. Can we? Because I don't think I'm one of them. Don't think I'm spiritually or mentally prepared to stand and just be called names and stand as a shield for somebody and. And love the people who are spitting at you. Can we find 350 million people in. Sorry. 350 people out of 350 million that could actually do it and would do it. Let me ask you this. Do you think you could find 50 pastors that would do it? 50. 50. There are 100,000 pastors plus in this country. Could you find 50 of them that would do this? I'm not sure. Because that's who should do it or should lead it. Because this is a spiritual thing. We're not fighting flesh and bone. We are not fighting these people. Again, let me just go back to the one thing I just said. I have people in my family that will no longer speak to me. And it has been the biggest heartbreak of my life. And I weathered this storm for 20 years. And in the last five years, it just broke apart, fell apart. And I have people who I dearly love. I don't want to win. I do not need them to say, you are right, you were right, you won. I don't need that. I don't want that. I just want them back at the table. I just want them to know I love them. And that's more important than anything else. And I want them to say, I love you. And that's more important than any politics or anything else. Every single tactic, if you will, that we play out, if it's not led by God, it will fail. We are now at the moment of saving Western civilization. It's not saving our country, it's not saving our constitution. This is saving Western civilization. The Judeo Christian principles that built half the world. That's what this is about. And if you want to save Judeo Christian values, you must demonstrate love for those who hate you. I can't believe I'm saying this. I am not the guy for this, But that is the only answer. I can sit here and give you other political answers and everything else, but that is the only answer. This will not be one. We have to reconcile with people who are under this spell of lies. The spell of that makes a medical practitioner say, get a syringe and poison them. Give them a paralytic to scare them. I hope that person no longer works in the medical field, is banned for all time. But that's a spell. All right, let me tell you about my Patriot supply. If you've been through any of these winter storms that we've had, you know, lately, lost heat even for a little while, I genuinely hope you had a Vesta heater from my Patriot supply sitting somewhere in your home. Because the Vesta heater is designed for those exact moments. It's safe. It's an indoor heater, doesn't rely on electricity. Even when the grid is down, you still have a way to create warmth in the room you need it most. It's not about panic. It's about learning from previous bad experiences. Now, if you think to yourself, yeah, I should have had one of those, ah, well, it's not going to happen again. It's going to happen again. It's going to happen again. Get it? Please. If you don't have a Vesta heater, think about it before the next storm arrives, not while you're shivering through it and going, geez, that's two times I Should have had that. Best part is right now you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear free if you just order the winter survival kit from my Patriot supply. Go to my patriotsupply.com Glenn. See everything that is included. It's not going to last long so go to my patriotsupply.com glenn my patriotsupply.com Glenn. Beck is on.

I go to my executive producer who has been my executive producer now for 25 plus years. Stu Brigir. Welcome Stu. How are you doing?
- [69:22]
Stu Brigham
Well Glenn, I braved the quarter inch of snow through. You know a lot of people are saying it's heroic. I, I didn't, you know, I wouldn't call it that. But I'm here at the studio, you know, in the legendary fashion to make sure I can make it here for the last four days of the program.
- [69:39]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [69:39]
Stu Brigham
At least in my, everybody else has.
- [69:41]

Been at the studio for days but you keep calling yourself a hero. So Stu, this is Stu's last week.
- [69:47]
Stu Brigham
Yeah.
- [69:48]
Glenn Beck
And he's going to announce what he's going to be doing. He's, he's leaving the program to go do his own thing which normally I would recommend against. But this, honestly when I heard the idea of like this is him, this is so him. I think it will be, you know, it's just what he has to do. And you know, I didn't know that Nick Fuentes was looking for a producer for a show. But he's, or something, I don't know exactly. He's going to announce later this week what he is actually going to do.
- [70:16]
Stu Brigham
Thank you. Thank you for that. You know what? I'm really going to miss you. Can I say that so much on a day to day basis?
- [70:23]
Glenn Beck
You know one of the things that was the very first thing that I think I taught you on my show, this is when we were doing mornings and you were a producer on my morning show is you wreck me. I, if I, if I can't take wrecking me, I shouldn't be able to wreck anybody else. And people, long term listeners understand new people are like what is happening here? We are good friends. We love each other to death and there's nobody, you, me and Pat, there's nobody that can wreck us harder than ourselves. And I'm gonna miss it.
- [70:57]
Stu Brigham
It's true. I will say there was the beginning of all of that. You did Say that very early on, and you just don't know whether to believe the person when they say, hey, no, just wreck me as hard as you can. I'll be fine with it. And you actually are, which is stunning, frankly, because we've.
- [71:18]
Glenn Beck
I just have a very hard. Over the years. Yeah, I will destroy you now.
- [71:24]
Stu Brigham
There have been times, like with that. Whatever. That this bad superhero show is on Amazon prime with the laser eyes. There are times I think you're just gonna bust out the laser eyes and make us all explode. But you haven't so far, so.
- [71:37]
Glenn Beck
I haven't yet. I haven't.
- [71:40]
Stu Brigham
You know, Glenn, I was thinking, listening to your last segment, and it was fascinating. I am in, I will say, in a bit of a reminiscent mode right now, as it's been 28 years I've been working with you and everything I now see through the lens of this weird journey we've been on. But your last break was essentially your entire life, your entire journey, all encapsulated into one segment, which is this battle, right? And I think it's a real battle that people face all the time, which is this battle between you. I know you. I know what you just said is completely true. Like, you really want. There's a great part of you that wants to be able to stand there and just like, hey, can't we just figure this out? Isn't there a way that we don't have to be completely insane and. But you're also a person who recognizes. And I heard this in the first hour as I was bravely driving into the studios, this part of you that also recognizes there are groups of people out there that are united and organized and doing everything they can to destroy everything that you love that this country was built on. And those two parts of you, and I think two parts of this real situation are really difficult to square. How do you do that?
- [73:05]
Glenn Beck
Well, because it's not. You're not going. You're not going to convince them if they want to destroy them. You're not going to change their. They belong in jail. What I'm talking about are, again, like I said, the people, like maybe our grandparents or great grandparents might have been that they just grew up believing one thing. And then Martin Luther King came along and they're like, wait, wait, he's actually a good guy. He's. I'm on the wrong side. And they weren't dug in. They weren't racist. They were just kind of going along with it because that's what they thought. It takes something earth shattering to break that spell. And it, and it takes what Martin Luther King and Gandhi talked about. It takes this bravery. I mean, you know, I was just listening to Jason in the, in the insider feed and he said some of the, some of the responses. Stephen wrote in and said these people would be eaten alive if they did that. If they stood between the protesters and ice and just locked arm, that time has passed, they'd be bashed and beaten. Yeah, they probably would. But that's exactly the point. That's what's so shocking. Why would somebody, Martin Luther King again, why would somebody walk in and put themselves in that situation where they know they're going to be hosed down by fire horses, they're going to be punched in the face. They're going to. And they will not react. It's almost inhuman and it's beyond stupidity. It's, it's, it is only an act of something that most people go, I don't understand what is happening here. Why are those people doing it? Because those people believe in something bigger than themselves, bigger than their own pain, bigger than their own loss. You know, they believe that. They believe that you are worth reconciling with, even though you might hate them, you're worth enduring that so we can get to a place to where we can actually talk to one another again. Because we do not think Martin Luther King knew that America was not a racist country. It had racist policies and there were racists that lived here. But he knew the foundation was not racist. It was a system of government. And the Declaration, he challenged you live up to the Declaration, where the approach now of the left is the exact opposite of Martin Luther King. So they've become the aggressors on society. And that's, and that's, that's what we have to get people to wake up to. The people you think are, are standing with you, that, you know, just want an, you know, just want an end to, you know, these racist policies or whatever. They don't want the same thing that you want. They will punch and kill and take a syringe and fill it with a, with a paralytic and jam it into your neck because it might delay you. That's not human. That's not American. That's not anything anybody would ever recognize. But you can't sit there and just talk to people and say, come on, you don't believe in that because they will dismiss that. They will just immediately dismiss. But when they see their side punching somebody in the face who refuses to punch back, fairness and justice just roars inside of each of us.
- [76:39]
Stu Brigham
It's interesting, Glenn, because I think certainly when you talk about the types of people you talked about in the first hour, right, these groups that are angrily going out there and trying to attack ICE agents, and there's a lot of.
- [76:52]
Glenn Beck
Those.
- [76:54]
Stu Brigham
They are not working towards the Martin Luther King solution.
- [76:58]
Glenn Beck
No, they're not. That's what gave me. That's what brought me here. Those two is that. But everything they're doing does not lead to anything other than Balkanization. That's not what Americans want.
- [77:10]
Stu Brigham
And I agree with you on that. However, let me just push back a little bit on this part of it. The actions, let's say, of Alex Preddy, for example, I don't know what his involvement was on the levels you're talking about in hour one. Maybe he was deep inside of all of these groups and was angrily trying to overthrow the government. We might find that out. I mean, we don't know yet. But what we do know, I think with the American. I don't see that in the video. What I see in the video, again, this is. I'm trying to think about how the American people are seeing this. They're not watching every single angle. They're only seeing what the mainstream media is presenting to them or what TikTok is presenting to them. What they see in that moment is exactly what you're talking about with Martin Luther King. They see a guy who's helping, kind of helping a woman across the road, then jumps in between an altercation after an agent pushes a woman to the ground and he jumps in between them again.
- [78:09]

Martin Luther King would have. Martin Luther King would have condemned him for that. If he was arrested. He would have let him sit in jail for that. Look, don't do that.

I'm trying to take my own personal opinion out of this and just put into what I think the American people would see, certainly a good chunk of them, and I think what they would argue here is they are doing what you're suggesting. He's there. Why is he there? We keep saying, like, hey, why are you going out to these things? You're going to get in the way. And there's a chance that something like this happens. And their responses, and I think this is actually sort of your point, which is they are trying to take that mantle. They are trying to take the Martin Luther King mantle. They are trying, not all of them, but many of them are trying to look at that. They look at Alex Preddy as a person who put principle above his own safety. I'M not saying I agree with all of that, but I do think that's how it's being pitched to the American people.
- [79:10]
Glenn Beck
Yes. And I think the average person, when they saw Preddy and they saw what he did, because that was my reaction. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What is happening? He is just trying to stand in between the police, but he is getting involved. But he's standing between the police, and then there's a shoving match, and then they pull him down to the ground and then they shoot him. Okay. He's carrying a gun, which, you know, he has a very right to do, but I would suggest if anybody wanted to do it the right way, Martin Luther King did not carry a gun. And you don't get involved in pushing back. They tell you to go down on the ground. You go down on the ground. They tell you to do something, you do it, you do it. You take. If they beat you with a club, you take the beating with the club. That's Martin Luther King, and that's what breaks the spell. Not the whistles. They're showing up with whistles. They're antagonizing, and they are also obnoxious with it. And so if you're watching that you. On the other side, you might be able to see and go, well, you know, he didn't do. But you'll immediately go, yeah, but he's one. I mean, he was with the whistle. What is he. He was probably with them anyway. Deeply. My guess is he wasn't deeply with them. I could be wrong, but my guess is the way he behaved, he wasn't deeply with the. With the radicals. He was more of a, hey, I just think this is wrong. Okay? And then he had no discipline at all. There's nobody leading that discipline. In fact, the. The other side is pushing for chaos, not discipline. So he had no rules and, you know, anything. And he gets himself killed. Because that's what happens when you engage in stuff like that. But I think average person saw that. And that's. That's what the press wants you to see. That's what the press wants you to believe. But a disciplined action like that, protecting people who are doing their job, that's it. And I'm not judging either side. I'm just saying this is not the answer. I think that would break a spell. It'd be really hard. Honestly, I thought about last night. I don't think you could get. I mean, remember, Martin Luther King had thousands of people that joined him in several cities. I don't Know, if you could get it today, and you certainly won't get it unless you have pastors leading it. It. But, you know, are the pastors even brave enough to do that?
- [81:39]
Stu Brigham
A movement like that would require a leader with incredible bravery. And I'm not, I'm not going to sit here and just say that I'm the guy for the, for the job, you know, after my drive today.
- [81:49]
Glenn Beck
Well, you're after your drive. Yeah. You know, you have demonstrated your heroic.
- [81:53]
Stu Brigham
I just can't believe a lot of people are saying it. That's, you know, I was surprised by people bringing that up to me and saying what a hero I was and I should lead a movement in a nation. What. That's just not what I, what I'm looking to do here. Glenn, just a man of the people.

Glenn Beck
I, I can't tell you how much I'm going to miss this. I really can't tell you how much I'm going to miss this. By the way, Stu is starting Liars Inc. We explain that coming up in just a second. Arrogant Liars Inc. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. Every month you pay your cell phone bill is, you know, it's just another automatic charge like utilities, streaming services, all of it. They're just part of the game you play every month and you just don't even think about it. You pay what you know, you pay it and you move on. A lot of mobile companies turn around and use that money to support causes and policies that you probably don't agree with. And you'd never know it by looking at your phone. Patriot Mobile was built as an alternative. Same nationwide coverage, same reliable service, but a very different set of values behind the company, their Christian conservative wireless provider that puts their support behind first responders and veterans and parental rights and religious free freedom issues that matter to a lot of people who feel like their own dollars have been working against them for years. You don't have to sacrifice quality to make a switch. You can keep your phone, keep your number and keep dependable service while knowing your money is supporting things you actually believe in.

People don't realize how much their day gets steered by hunger. Not real hunger, but that urgent need. Something right now feeling that shows up after an hour or two after you eat. And it makes really hard to focus when your metabolism is running on quick spikes and drops, you're not really in control. Your next snack is the one that's in control. Health Code was created to change that dynamic. Instead of meals built around fast burning carbs that leave you chasing the next boost, it's designed to help your body rely more on steady fuel. When blood sugar stays stable and insulin swings aren't running the show, cravings calm down and it gets easier to not constantly think about food. This research comes from Dr. Ben Bickman. He's a metabolic scientist who focuses on how the body processes fuel and how metabolic health can help shape everything from energy to appetite. The goal isn't to eat less per se. It's to eat in a way that helps your system balance itself instead of being bouncing from extreme to extreme to extreme. Health Code is a nutritionally complete meal shake that's that's built around. That idea emphasizes protein and healthy fats and keeps carbs very low, voids added sugar and supports metabolic, gut and brain health all at the same time. So instead of your day revolving around the next snack, food supports everything else you're trying to get done. You can save on this now. Go to shakesavings.com it's shakesavings.com learn more about health code. It's shakesavings.com to save on your first order.

You know, I remember trying to expose these networks, you know, 25 years ago and it was almost impossible and nobody was doing it. And now because of the Internet and because there are so many and mainly young people wide awake, we can actually expose things. I mean, look at what's being exposed on this network up in Minnesota. We expose something That's@glenn beck.com Fox News did an expose. Who else? Free Beacon did an expose just yesterday. And we have data Republican who's also going to do an expose for us here in a second. And everybody has got like a different angle or a different group. You know, we all have the same, but we also have others because it is a so well laid out, so well planned, and there's no way. There's nowhere to hide anymore. It's just there's too many people on it. And if we have the DOJ willing to go after these people who are breaking the law, who are being influenced by foreign nations, then you know, we can actually make some progress. But that has yet to be seen. I know the Trump administration says they are going after them. You know, I'd like to see that start to happen. Pam Bondi but you know, it takes time to build cases, I guess, but the case is really being built. Data Republican joins us here in, in just a minute. And also we're just four days away from the fundamental transformation of this program, the cutting loose of Stu and, and Stu's going to join us next hour as well. You know, one of his, you know, favorite memories from the show, which, oh, man, I don't know how I could pick, you know, one of the favorite things that I have done that Stu has witnessed. But I'm gonna ask him to pick. I'm gonna ask him to pick.
- [87:31]
Stu Brigham
Yeah, we talked about doing that segment. I couldn't come up with anything. So if you have, I don't know if you, maybe we could get AI to create one like that was a favorite memory. I don't know. Only been 28 years.

Glenn Beck
I'm sure something joins us next. You know, a lot of back discomfort comes from one big movement and it comes from repetition. Sitting too long, standing too long, moving the same way every day. And over time, that tension just settles in and starts to feel normal, even though it shouldn't. What Chirp does is go straight to the source of that tension. Their wheel style back rollers are designed to target the muscles that run along your spine, the ones that really get tight and overworked and become stiff from daily life. You lie back, roll slowly and you let those muscles finally start to release. It's so satisfying. The design is smart and intentional. There's a groove down the center so you're never putting pressure on your own spine itself, just the muscle on either side. And with the multiple wheel sizes, you can control how deep the stretch goes, whether you want it something gentle or targeted. Simple tool, but it addresses the problems a lot of people have been living with for a lot of years. If that's you, please go to gocherp.com beck that's go chirp.com beck check out my picks for back pain relief. Go chirp.com. Pass it on. Crank the game. Glam Back is on. Glam Back is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Glenn Beck is on. I'm a big fan of people with courage and usually much more courage than I have people who have paid a very high price just to do what they believe is the right thing. There's a woman that I know, she just goes by the name Data Republican. Nobody, nobody's supposed to know her real name. She is, she is mute and she is deaf. And we're having her on the show here in a minute with her interpreter. So the voice you will hear will be her interpreter. But this woman, she first, I think, became known because she predicted or made a prediction with data that went really viral right before the election. She said Nevada was going to Trump and it was 10 days early just based on the data that she saw. And she built a website called datarepublican.com and it was to look into federal award searches. And that went viral as well. And she is just, she's one of these people who just is a mole. She just gets something gets in between her teeth and she just bothers her and she just digs and digs and digs and digs. She has done so much good and paid a high price personally, and I'm a big fan of hers. Data Republican joins us to talk about what is happening in Minnesota in 60 seconds. First, real estate agents I trust. You know, people make a strange assumption about real estate. They think because they're smart, capable adults, they'll just figure out, you know, when's the time to buy or sell a home. But this isn't something that most people do every day. Market shift, timing matters, price matters, negotiation matters. And one bad decision could cost you thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. And that's why I tell people about real estate estate agents I trust. This is a network of agents that my team has personally vetted. People with a proven track record, strong experience in their local market, and a commitment to actually serving their clients, not just closing a deal. They understand that for most families, this is one of the biggest financial decisions they'll ever make. And they take the time to get the pricing right, the marketing strategy, you know, and, and, and get your home soldier fast for the most amount of money and then get you into the right house. Okay, your decision. We're just going to give you the names of some people in your area that we think are the very best. You interview them. It's free service to you. I don't charge you anything for these names. I just want to make sure that you have a great experience and it makes all the difference. The name says it all. It's Real estate agents I trust.com. that's real estate agents I trust.com data Republican, welcome to the program. Hi.
- [92:42]
Data Republican
Thank you so much, Glenn. I'm so happy to be here and talk to you again. How have you been?
- [92:48]
Glenn Beck
I've been, I've been great. I'm glad. You're probably maybe a little warmer than you were in Davos last Week. Tell me quickly about that. Your. Your big takeaway from that. Oh, yes.
- [93:04]
Data Republican
Yeah. You know what really surprised me was we assumed that they would have big pointy teeth and fangs and we thought it would be full of lizard people. But it's just these people who live in an absolute bubble that's completely separate from the world and they make all these policies and the policies that they make that affect the rest of us just don't affect them. It's so far removed that they just live in this bubble in this world. They think they're changing.
- [93:41]
Glenn Beck
You do think that there are those who know exactly what they're doing. For instance, let's go to Minnesota. There are people that absolutely know what they're doing and are hiding it because they have a different. I mean, I'm talking about one of the things you're. You've just revealed is the connection of tending the soil. They know exactly what they're doing. They're not in a bubble, right?
- [94:11]
Data Republican
Oh, yes, absolutely. That's exactly right. You know, you have to understand the whole group there. I mean, I don't really like this term, but they're called globalists and they're the ones who want to control everything. And then we have the real communist. Right, the actual real communist workers with other countries and they're doing deals with other governments. And yes, they know exactly what they're doing. For example, Antifa has relationships with all of these organizations and they make plans together.
- [94:47]
Glenn Beck
So a research file that directs people with money to a website stand with Minnesota, then directs donors to a campaign run by tending the soil on Chuffed. What are they raising money for specifically?
- [95:08]
Data Republican
Well, the goal is, quote unquote, to support protesters. Frontline protesters. Right. To support the front lines of that, but quote unquote. Right. So what concerns me more about that is that, you know, the platform in Canada has been run by a union person, a man called Johnny Sopoitik. I'm sorry, I'm pronouncing his name. I'm not exactly sure, you know, I'm deaf, but he was actually the first.
- [95:45]
Glenn Beck
Person donate because I don't know how to say it either. Hang on just a second. It's S O P P O T I U K. I don't know how to pronounce it either, but a Canadian anyway. Go ahead.
- [95:57]
Data Republican
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, that. And plus I'm deaf. I wouldn't know how to, how to pronounce it anyway. But what that tells me is that that man Donnie, that the point taker, whatever his Name was. He was the first person who donated, which means that he's controlling the finance for these protesters there. He was the first person to donate to that organization and this Canadian organization. And because he's Canadian, it's proof that outside nations have been influencing these quote unquote, organizations that are supporting protesters.
- [96:30]
Glenn Beck
So what, what is chuffed?
- [96:40]
Data Republican
It's a far left platform that encourages finances for like, I, I was like yesterday I saw that they had, they were scrapping all of the roles and all of the. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. You're listening.
- [97:10]
Glenn Beck
To the voice you hear.
- [97:12]
Data Republican
Sorry. I just wanted to say I was scrapping their databases yesterday and what I found was. They are supporting a lot of things. Like, So there's, obviously they're making money there because they're being supported by a lot of. They don't have any processes. That's the problem. They don't have any processes there. Oh, they don't have any process. I'm so sorry. I'm really missing this.
- [97:56]
Glenn Beck
That's okay.
- [97:56]
Data Republican
So the video is bad. I'm sorry, Our video is stalling.
- [98:01]
Glenn Beck
That's okay. Why don't, why don't we skip to the next why don't we question.
- [98:06]
Data Republican
They don't have any problem. So when all this money is coming in. Sorry, the video was slow, Glenn. Forgive me. So what's happening is when all this money is coming into these organizations, there's no processing feature fees, so there's no way to really track any of this. So when this money is coming through and going activist organizations, there's no fees, there's no way to follow it.
- [98:26]
Glenn Beck
So let me go back to the signal data here for a second. The signal chats, they're using a website called Sign Up Genius. And it looks like we have some high level Democrats in Minnesota have been present as for some of these chats. Can you tell me anything about that?
- [98:48]
Data Republican
Yes, yes, that. So the chats, I have proof that the people are in these chats. They're going through the system in such a way that you see car license plates information in real time. They're pulling people's license plate information. And that is completely illegal. And that's happening. And there's some, like you said, high level people in these signal chats that are connected with the Minnesota government.
- [99:18]
Glenn Beck
So they're pulling in license plate information from the state?
- [99:24]
Data Republican
Yes. And it's completely against the terms of service. The contract. The contract terms of service is completely against that. So it's completely illegal that they're giving personal information. So they're putting pressure on. An airtable. They're putting pressure on signal and airtable.
- [99:51]
Glenn Beck
So you, you said you're getting much less sanitized spreadsheet and you're getting that to the powers that be is as Cash Patel or anybody, are they opening investigation into the signal chats? Do you have anything? People are getting frustrated because they don't think that the government is moving. Are you seeing movement from your perspective on the government?
- [100:22]
Data Republican
Well, obviously, you know, I can't really talk about who the powers that be are here in this situation, Glenn, but they are doing something and I am seeing some traction because they are very serious. And you know, it's, this is something that has to be handled delicately as well. And so I have a feeling that. I'm getting the feeling that it's trying to get all the organizations at the same time. Right. It would be kind of a waste of time for Cash Patel and the FBI to really just go against this one organization. Because the more important thing to understand here, Glenn, is that it's an entire network. So it would be easier to get it on a whole network scale as opposed to just going after one individual organization.
- [101:21]
Glenn Beck
Any sense at this moment how much of that network is inside the government and how much inside the United States and how much might be outside of the United States?
- [101:38]
Data Republican
I'm not going to lie, Glenn. It's huge. And almost every, Almost every. Institution, almost every institution. Is captured by it. It's, it's, it's infiltrated almost everything that you can possibly think of. And the other important thing to understand is that all of these organizations that have been set up for some purpose in the past, that purpose has changed and been infiltrated by these type of systems.
- [102:26]
Glenn Beck
Do you see a way out?
- [102:32]
Data Republican
Yes, absolutely. And in fact, I wrote it in my upcoming book, so to explain it longer, but to explain it longer in the book, but it's not what you think and it's already happening. In fact, I'm going to, I'm going to present the solution in about two weeks. In fact, I have a presentation.
- [102:57]
Glenn Beck
Can we, can we eavesdrop on that or can we get you to come back in a couple of weeks after you've made that presentation?
- [103:07]
Data Republican
Yes. Oh, of course, absolutely. I'm actually going to be doing the presentation itself at the Old State Saloon and it'll be broadcasted on X. But afterwards I would love to come back and have a longer, deeper discussion with you, Glenn. We always get the best information out on Glenn.
- [103:24]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, well, thank you. And I, I just I adore you and we pray for you and may God keep you safe. And I just. I can't tell you. You have done so much for the nation, and it's just there are a few people like you that are brave, willing to endure whatever comes your way and just won't stop. And I just so admire you. So thank you so much.
- [103:53]
Data Republican
Thank you so much, Glenn. Yeah, I really appreciate that. And I would love to really dive into this with you later.
- [103:59]
Glenn Beck
Great. We'll talk again. Thank you so much. God bless you. That was a little disturbing, wasn't it? And it was. And because of the translation, it's a little. It's hard because you're like, you're standing at the doctor's office and he's like, well, I have some bad news. Okay, what is it? Well, it looks like you have like a. Like a what? What? What? What, what? It's true. It's true. It is a.
- [104:30]
Stu Brigham
It is amazing. Honestly.
- [104:32]
Glenn Beck
It's an exercise in impatience. Yes, it is. She's a remarkable woman.
- [104:37]
Stu Brigham
And it's legitimately amazing you're able to communicate with someone like that in that way. I'm sure if you're listening on radio, especially if you didn't hear the beginning of that, you're basically having a conversation with someone who's deaf and mute. You said so. Really difficult to have that conversation through a translator in real time. I know it's a little difficult, but that, that information is really important.
- [105:01]
Glenn Beck
And what I really liked is they were doing on radio, but they were. We were communicating through video so she could see my mouth as well.
- [105:12]
Stu Brigham
That's a lot.
- [105:13]
Glenn Beck
That's a very complicated interview. Very complicated interview. Anxious to have her back in a couple of weeks. All right, we'll move on. Let me talk to you a little bit about rapid radios. Most of us take communication for granted until we, you know, we really need it when we're traveling with family or coordinating an event or managing a job site or just trying to keep a group connected. You know, cell phones aren't always the simple solution when they're supposed to be. So I've been telling you about rapid radios. These are long range radios that work right out of the box. No license, no programming, no monthly fees. You turn them on and you're connected. The range is incredible. Clarity is really what surprises people. I think whether you're across town or across the state, you can stay in touch with people who matter without relying on a cell service or complicated apps. And if you run a business that's this gets even more practical. Rapid radios offers up to a 60% discount for businesses, which makes it cost effective to keep teams connected on job sites and, you know, at events large, you know, across large properties. Sometimes the best technology is the kind that just works when you need it to. And that's a rapid radio. Rapid Radios.com Secure your exclusive savings, elevate your business communication. Now that's Rapid Radios.com Rapid Radios Commercial communication redefined. 10 seconds. Back to the show. Oh, golly. I don't know if you've seen yet on on the torch@glennbeck.com you can go in and you can poke around and listen to America's 250th. It's based on a book by David and Tim Barton called America's Story. And it is a 20 part audio series fully produced. I mean, and it is, it is produced in a way that you hear the bullets whizzing by is really the audio on this. Nick Daly did it, who's worked for me for years. And honestly, he is, I mean, I think he's turned down a job at Industrial light Magic. I mean, he is really, really good.
- [107:21]
Stu Brigham
Terrible decision by him, but yeah, he's great.
- [107:23]
Glenn Beck
Oh, horrible decision. What a moron. But, but really good and you need to hear that. It's again, the first five episodes are out. America's story that is available also find you'd voice is out. We released that last week. And this is really uplifting. This a story about Alex who his whole life he's been a stutterer and he just really kind of gave up. Started looking for jobs where he didn't have to talk to people. He had a hard time keeping a girlfriend or even friends. And it was getting worse and worse and worse and he tried everything but nobody ever has an answer on stuttering in this show. Find your voice with Roger love. Roger is a dear friend of mine and he is the world's best voice talent. I mean, he's worked with me and Rush Limbaugh but he's also worked with Elton John and Beyonce and Lady Gaga and I mean, everybody in Hollywood that has ever, you know, they try to play Johnny Cash. He teaches them how to sing like Johnny Cash. He's an amazing guy and biggest heart I know and he can correct speech impediments. He can correct things like stuttering. And he did it in one session, actually to one half hour sessions, but in under an hour. And this guy's life is changing and it's, it's so amazing to watch. You see him kind of like this closed down guy. And by the end of the episode, he is full of life and speaking without any stuttering. It's. It's an amazing thing. You can find that also@glenn beck.com part of our torch experience.
- [109:01]
Stu Brigham
Glenn, correct me if I'm wrong. When you said Roger Love worked with Rush Limbaugh, that was when Rush was losing his hearing, right? Is that how was that why they work together?
- [109:13]
Glenn Beck
I think that's for Roger to talk about, not me. But I mean, he worked with him through all kinds of. All kinds of stuff. And I remember that. I'm not, I'm. Yeah, I'm not sure. And I don't want to speak for Roger on that, but I know that he did a lot of work with Rush and helped him a great deal as me. I mean, you know, I have these vocal cords that go into vocal cord paralysis and he's the only guy that can change them. Doctors are like full bed rest, you know, just don't speak for a month and just leave it at that. And it's strange because the Soros people say the same thing, but don't speak at all. But Roger can take me from that where complete paralysis of my vocal cords to full voice. I mean, I've had to speak in front of 25,000 people and I had a half an hour. I was in full vocal paralysis. In 15 minutes he had me back to full voice and walking out onto a stage with 25,000 people. I mean, he's amazing. But anyway, he might be able to help you if you know somebody with some issues or you just want to, you know, you. You're not. You're not the voice you were born with. Find your voice. You can do that@glenn beck.com it's free. This will last week of free service. Just check out all the different things@glenn beck.com Go there now. Okay. Let me tell you about preborn. New research is revealing that millions of women are living with deep, lasting emotional pain after abortion. It's something we've all known, but everybody has always denied. Preborn sees that pain close up every single day. Clinics all across the country. But they provide hope. And it begins with that moment that changes everything. When a mom sees a baby on the ultrasound, when she walks in, she might be thinking, I can't carry this baby to term. And then she sees the baby and hears the heartbeat and the world changes for her. Baby's chance at life doubles after mom sees that image. Preborn, they have their network clinics and they Provide those ultrasounds free of charge, along with a compassionate counseling and support for women who feel alone and overwhelmed. This is real care, practical help, emotional support, and a reminder that they're not without options. And if you believe that I do that every child matters and no woman should walk this road alone and mom matters as much as the baby, then you want to get involved. Hit pound 250. Say the keyword baby. 25 bucks pays for an ultrasound. Go to preborn.com preborn.com beck preborn.com Beckham pound 250 baby.

If you missed any of today's podcast, make sure you grab it wherever you get your podcast or glenn beck.com hour one. I I spoke about what's really going on in, in Minnesota and the deal that apparently Donald Trump made yesterday. And some people think that that is a, a weakness. They think that he caved or waved the white flag. I do not. And I explained that I'm going to also, if I have time this far, I want to give you the, the things to watch for to see if it is a white flag or if it was just another really genius move on the way to winning. But we'll see. You know, six weeks will tell us everything that we need to know. Stu is joining us. It's. We only have four more days left. He's going to announce where he's going. He's starting his own thing soon and he'll be talking to us by the end of the week about that. I'm gonna miss you, Stu. You know what I'm gonna miss most about you?

The thing I'm gonna miss most is when you say the meanest and harshest thing you can think of in the most tender of moments on this program. You know, it's just when I'm just so heartfelt and you just find four words that can just tear me apart, I actually am going to miss that.
- [113:49]
Stu Brigham
That legitimate, honestly, sincerely means so much to me because it is one of my favorite things about this show that you would put up with it. There have been times where I, even after 20 something years, you'd be in the middle of this really heartfelt, really powerful great thing that it wasn't like I thought it sucked or anything. It was incredible. And then I would have to come in as I believe my role on the program was to. I don't know anyone ever told me it was my role, but I believed it was to just come in and just ruin it right before commercials. That's what I always felt was important.
- [114:26]
Glenn Beck
And that's my favorite. Favorite. It's my favorite. But, you know, somebody said, you know, how are you going to replace Stu? And I'm like, you're not going to replace Stu. There's no replacing Stu. There's nobody. And I'm not going to hire somebody to fill in for Stu because that has taken 30 years to master the timing and knowing exactly when to say something thoroughly inappropriate and. And mean. And I just. I'm going to miss it. Stu now.
- [114:53]
Stu Brigham
Well, you know, I think, yeah, every once in a while, you might just go to the phones and on the phone is someone saying the most inappropriate thing. It's good old Bob from Milwaukee is just going to be there. He might sound a little bit like me, just happens to be listening and had the same exact thought I might have had in that particular moment.
- [115:13]
Glenn Beck
One of the things that I've always liked, and I did it, and I don't even know if it was ever entertaining for the audience, but it was so entertaining for me is I would say to you here, I want you to get on the phone. Just follow me. And you would get on the phone, and I'd say, we have on the phone Biff Herfner Bler. And you'd go, hello, Glenn, how are you? And be good. Now, Biff, you milk cattle, but you milk steers. And then you would have to. Whatever I said, you would just have to make it work. And it was. I don't know, because we never said that's what we were doing. Nobody ever knew that. This was just Glenn torturing Stu. And it was so fun.
- [116:00]
Stu Brigham
I will say, if you'd like to know what that was like from my perspective, if you watch the Netflix special of the guy climbing Taipei 101, that was on the other night, taking the outside of a building with free solo and just going all the way up 101 stories to the needle at the top. That's what it felt like. Because I had no idea where you were going. I had no idea what I was participating in. And I just had to go. And those were. That was. I don't know if that was the most entertaining thing for the audience. It was the most torturous for me. So. Most entertaining for you.
- [116:37]
Glenn Beck
You used to look at me, right? Because we'd do it Right before we crack a mic, I'd look at you go, grab the phone. I need you on the phone real quick. You look at me like, oh, dear God, no, no, please. I don't, I don't know. And I go, it's Glenn Beck program and we've got Biff on the phone. You should have seen sometimes his eyes. I would say something to him and he would be like, what the hell am I supposed to do with that? He just look at me like this poor sad little puppy dog. Yeah. Like, yeah, well, I have nowhere to go.
- [117:08]
Stu Brigham
Oftentimes it would devolve into this caller just being very angry at the host. It had nothing to do.
- [117:17]
Glenn Beck
It would just.
- [117:17]
Stu Brigham
My real emotions would come out and that would be the entire call. I will say one of the things I will miss, I think more than anything, one of my favorite things we ever did on the air, and I don't know that I've ever laughed harder, was and we're only a couple weeks away from Valentine's Day, the Valentine's Day extravaganza we would do annually on this program, which was really designed to bring couples together.
- [117:44]
Glenn Beck
Oh, I believe we did.
- [117:45]
Stu Brigham
I think we did too.
- [117:46]
Glenn Beck
I believe we saved marriages, maybe destroyed.
- [117:48]
Stu Brigham
A few as well.
- [117:50]
Glenn Beck
Well, probably because they deserved to be destroyed.
- [117:53]
Stu Brigham
They probably did deserve that. But we would do it the day after Valentine's Day and people, we would solicit for callers, like, if you screwed up, if you forgot Valentine's Day, if you forgot to book the restaurant, if you forgot to get a gift, and you are now in that period where you're in the silent treatment, everything has gone against you. You are in the doghouse 100%. We will, if you are of the right moral character, bail you out with a one time get out of jail free card called the couple of the year competition.
- [118:28]
Glenn Beck
Well, it was, it was my effort to help stupid guys one time. But there were a few rules to it. For instance, I mean, if you had missed several things, you know, the cost started going up and you had to pay for. I would say we were going to send you out for this great dinner, but the guy had to pay for it. I wasn't paying for it because it was your mistake. So you pay for it. It and you won this dinner as couple of the year. And so we would announce what it was and they would be. I'd get them on the phone and it was a form letter that we would have them fill out. It was, go ahead.
- [119:08]
Stu Brigham
You have to add into the point that you Would, first of all, put. You would talk to the guy and you'd hear the whole sob story about how they screwed up and how bad they felt. And then you would promise to call the wife and say you put them on hold so they could hear the broadcast. And you would fraudulently produce in real time a segment where you'd say, well, you know, and I just hope. I just. This is a big surprise, so please, everybody, hold on. So they would hear that and they would get, what's going on? What's going on? And then you'd play this incredible music. This was it Barry White. It was something. It was something of that. I don't know, of that sort of tone at least. And it would build up and there's this hype flowing, and then there's this amazing announcer that would come on with a big voice and introduce this extravagant contest for a couple of the year. And you would come on and with the most heartfelt sincerity, apologize to the woman because you told the husband not to celebrate Valentine's Day this one time, because we had to do it in this incredible competition. You had built up over an entire year looking for the most romantic couple in the entire nation. And you finally found it. And it was her husband this whole time. And he had to hold out on Valentine's Day and withhold all because I was sick.
- [120:32]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, you were sick. You were out on the sick.
- [120:34]
Stu Brigham
You couldn't make it.
- [120:35]
Glenn Beck
I couldn't make it.
- [120:36]
Stu Brigham
And so they would have this amazing, you know, presentation. And then you would bring in this form letter that you would require the people the guy to basically memorize with one really important part at the end. Depending on how bad they were to their spouse, depending on how egregious their violation of this relationship, you would then determine the length of pause that they had to have on the air between.
- [121:16]
Glenn Beck
Hunting, saying their name.
- [121:18]
Stu Brigham
Yep. Yeah. And then space. Maybe three seconds, maybe five, maybe seven, maybe nine. And then I love you. And if they didn't wait the full time you promised you would blow the whole thing on them on the air. You would ruin it on the air if they didn't wait the full seven or nine seconds.
- [121:38]
Glenn Beck
And I.
- [121:40]
Stu Brigham
Seven or nine seconds in your life does not sound like a lot of time when you are on radio, sweetheart. You're trying to muster this false. He's swelling up. He's about to cry. He's trying to hold it off. You had to time that perfectly. And not only was that a complete nightmare for the guy trying to attempt it, because if he cut it short, you'd blow it on them. You could blow the whole thing for them.
- [122:05]
Glenn Beck
I would've.
- [122:06]
Stu Brigham
The other thing was we have radio affiliates that have silence sensors, like, if their air goes down. So they have dead air sensors. And we already set them off all the time because of your pauses in the middle of your crazy monologues. But in this contest, there will be designed 7 second of nothing that doesn't happen on radio. You're not supposed to do that. So the stations would be freaking out. The entire country would be freaking out. And if you're a listener, you're hearing this escapade go on over and over and over and over again. You're hearing the same thing, the same words happen to people over and over 10, 12, 15 times in a show.
- [122:48]
Glenn Beck
All across the country.
- [122:49]
Stu Brigham
All across the country. And these poor women are like, thinking they had this amazing thing happen to them. And it's just. It just heard it 12 other times with other.
- [122:57]
Glenn Beck
I just wanted them to believe. And I. I think one of the reasons why we stopped it was, didn't one of the women, like, get the award and then decide to tune in? And she tunes in and she hears me doing it with somebody else, and she's like, what the hell happened here, Harold?
- [123:14]
Stu Brigham
Same script. Exactly. So, I mean, I would say percentage wise, we probably saved more relationships than ruined, but there were some collateral damages at times.
- [123:28]
Glenn Beck
Hey, you want to make an omelet? You know what I'm saying? You want to make an omelette? Yeah.
- [123:33]
Stu Brigham
If nothing else, we're always led by the words of Stalin. And I think that's the. That's the right. The right heart for that bit.
- [123:40]
Glenn Beck
Okay, let me tell you about relief factor. Living in constant aches and in stiffness changes how you move through your day. You start planning around discomfort. You hesitate before simple things. You wonder how much energy you're going to have by the time evening rolls around. Inflammation is a big part of that story. And it all. You know, it doesn't always come from one big injury. It builds up over time, quietly limiting how much your body can actually do, how much you can recover, and how much can be, you know, you. Are you moving freely around anymore? Well, relief factor was created to help to support your body's response to that inflammation using a unique combination of natural ingredients that are all working together with your body.

It often shows up in small but meaningful ways.

CBS Sunday and streaming on Paramount. Plus, This is the Glenn Beck program. By the way, Stu's going to be announcing where he's going later on this week on this program. And if you miss it, you can find him@YouTube.com studozamerica which I just noticed Stu doesn't have. You know, Stu also got his start on legendary broadcaster. Really epic show. Glenn Bag or nothing about, you know, I'm the executive producer of your show. I don't see any of that on that. I don't understand the lack of gratitude there. It seems.
- [126:42]
Stu Brigham
I mean, when you're trying to hide something, you try not to put it in as many places as possible.
- [126:50]
Glenn Beck
It's like, why did you leave that off your resume?
- [126:52]
Stu Brigham
Because I didn't want people to see it.
- [126:54]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. We still have three full shows. So I mean, if that's where we're gonna play, that's okay. I got it.
- [126:58]
Stu Brigham
I got it.
- [126:59]
Glenn Beck
I just, I just want to know the rules going in because tomorrow is going to be an interesting show.
- [127:03]
Stu Brigham
Well, if you want, I will allow you to rewrite the description of the channel to whatever you want for the next three days. Yes, you, until we.
- [127:14]
Glenn Beck
I would hate to do that, but I'm going to take you up on that.
- [127:16]
Stu Brigham
Oh, really? I'd like to see because that way you can, you can glaze yourself in front of America appropriately.
- [127:24]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I might have to. I might have to have a couple of stabs at it. I might not get it right the first time.
- [127:29]
Stu Brigham
Oh, really?
- [127:30]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. So I might have to change it once in a while.
- [127:33]
Stu Brigham
I mean, just so you Know, we wouldn't necessarily. We could always just wait until you felt that you had it right before we post.
- [127:38]
Glenn Beck
No, no, no, no. I want. I think this is important to get it on right away, but it might need a few updates saying, okay, well, you know me, Stu, I don't like to wait.
- [127:48]
Stu Brigham
I mean, look, I've got, you know, three more shows. What could possibly go more wrong? So we'll just. Good luck, America. Might be some very interesting descriptions at the Studios America YouTube page in the very near future.
- [128:04]
Glenn Beck
So, Stu, you know, I didn't get your opinion on what you thought of my analysis of Donald Trump not waving the white flag with Minneapolis or Minnesota, but actually making a very smart reframing move.
- [128:20]
Stu Brigham
Yeah, I was.
- [128:21]
Glenn Beck
What did you think?
- [128:21]
Stu Brigham
Interesting. We talked briefly about this before the show started, and I kind of made the point of like, you know, this does feel like a little bit like a back down in some ways. And you said, oh, no, you got to listen to what I'm gonna be talking about coming up. And you went through. And I was on my way in a heroic drive through ice, snow and sleet to get here this morning.
- [128:42]
Glenn Beck
There's a quarter of an inch of snow on the ground, but it's solid.
- [128:45]
Stu Brigham
A solid quarter of an inch, except in some places where it's 1/8. And. And it was interesting when you were laying that out, I agreed with what you were saying. I think maybe we had a little bit of a separation on as how to look at it, because I definitely don't think Donald Trump's backing down from being an immigration, illegal immigration hardliner. Right. This is something he's believed since way before he was running for president. And back in the 80s, he was talking about this stuff, but it did to me, when I was trying to say backing down. It wasn't as much as he's backing off of the policy, but it does feel like he is acknowledging that this is being perceived in a way he does not want it to be perceived. Of course he is an acknowledgment of that, which is. I think it's a big moment.
- [129:42]
Glenn Beck
I think that's foolish, though. He's not a dummy. It's foolish not to recognize this is going in the wrong direction. Framing wise. And that's why I say he's just reframing it. He's allowing it to be reframed because, you know, in his book, he talks about never die on the hill that somebody else wants you to die on. Die in the hill you chose. And that's not a hill he's choosing to die on. So he had to reframe the whole thing. I. I think it might end up being genius here. The whole thing sa.
