Glenn Beck
Glam Beck is on. Glam Back is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Glenn Beck is empowerment. Power comes from knowledge. We are going to give you a lot of information. Information is power. Let's empower you here, beginning in 60 seconds with what's happening in Minnesota, also what is happening in Iran and so much more. Oh, and Friday, we're opening up the phones. We'd love to hear from you. 888-727-BECK. 888-727-BBECK. A lot going on, including Ryan Morrow is going to be on with us here in about 30 minutes talking to us about the. The woman who was shot. She's just an innocent mom, blah, blah, blah. But it looks like she was also a member of a group that allegedly has terror ties. And we'll give you all of that information. He'll explain that coming up. First, let me tell you about. Life is already really loud. There's always something pulling at your attention. Work, family, headlines, obligations you didn't plan on but still have to handle. The last thing you need is your body constantly tapping you on the shoulder, saying, hey. Ow. And yet, that's what pain does all the time. It inserts itself in everything and breaks your focus. It steers your decisions. Relief Factor is designed to help quiet that particular distraction by supporting the body's response to inflammation, which is a common source of everything everyday discomfort. Relief Factor. It's a daily supplement. And over time, people notice that pain stops cutting into the line for your attention. You move more freely, you think less about what might hurt, and you start doing the things you want to do. You don't need your joints and your muscles reminding you of what could be. You just start doing it again. Relief factor 100% drug free targets the inflammation that causes the pain so you can move better, feel better and actually enjoy life again. So try the three week quick start. It's 1995. 1995 at relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief. Let's see if you're next getting out of pain relieffactor.com all right, you sick freak, where do we begin? Where do we begin? Let's go to Minnesota. I told you yesterday about Tim Walsh and what he was saying to the press about the Minnesota National Guard. I told you that that violates the Constitution in three ways. So it's really weird. The everybody went into a full fledged panic. We have to stop Donald Trump from issuing orders that are clearly illegal and having the National Guard go in and protect ICE in Los Angeles. You remember that? That's clearly illegal. Posse Comitatus, all of that crap which just shows the left either doesn't know and more, more accurately does not care about what the truth is, especially when it comes to the Constitution. What Donald Trump did in Los Angeles is 100% constitutional. That's why they kept losing the cases every time they bring it up in court. Because if federal agents are in danger, the president in danger or cannot complete their assigned mission. The president can issue an order for the National Guard to go in and protect. They can't police. Um, all they can do is protect those federal agents. What Waltz was suggesting yesterday, honestly, I told you yesterday sounds a lot like civil war. Um, it is the closest thing I have seen to, you know, the south breaking away in the 1860s. He was suggesting, and no, he wasn't even suggesting. He said he had put the National Guard on alert and they were training to stop the federal government from sending in ICE and, you know, and killing Minnesota citizens. Um, that is absolutely illegal. They cannot, the National Guard cannot stop, nor can a governor stop the federal government from doing what the Constitution allows them to do. Investigations, protecting, taking people out. The state can, I mean, taking them out of the country. The state can absolutely say, we're not participating. Our state officials are not going to help. They can stand on the sidelines with their hands in their pockets and, and not be helpful, but they cannot obstruct and you cannot just co opt the National Guard and make it into your army. I said that yesterday and I said he knows that. He's smart enough to know that. Well, maybe he's not. I mean, the guy is just. I mean, I'd. I'd rather have a six hour conversation with my toothbrush than five minutes with this guy. Um, and I told you yesterday, he is only saying this because he's actually putting on notice his own and the Democrats own Revolutionary Guard. Those are the people who have been so duped or so believe in Marxism or whatever, they hate America because America is the worst place in the world. Whatever their motivation is, they have, they're on a mission to stop the federal government any way they possibly can. So he's sending a signal by saying, these guys are going to get you killed. Do you see what Jimmy Kimmel held up the T shirt? Donald J. Trump is going to kill you. What do you think that's going to do? That's putting their own National Revolutionary Guard on notice. It's going to go into your hands. You better stop them. Um, I told you this was, this was the beginning of civil war. If he would continue. And he did. Here's the latest from Governor Walsh.
- [07:38]
Governor Tim Walsh
Our history. When things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota's first that held that line for the nation on that July 3, 1863. And I think now we may be in that moment that the nation's looking to us to hold the line on democracy, to hold the line on decency, to hold the line on accountability, and more than that, to rise up as neighbors and simply say we can look out for one another.
- [08:07]
Glenn Beck
Okay, that's really interesting. We can look out for one another. You mean look and try to help the people who just robbed your neighbor's houses? This is the. I just want you to understand what's, what he's doing here right now is just. It's the most selfish thing I've ever seen. He is only protecting himself. He know this guy is going to jail. Others are going to jail because. And there'll be. And there'll be white people. Tim. So you should be happy because you were saying there's a lot of white people that should go to jail. Well, you're one of them and you will go to jail. Let me show you. Just give you a stat here on the last two years at the Minnesota airports. And you. And just, I just want you to think and ask yourself, how is it possible this happened and nobody stopped it? Over the last two years, between 24 and 25 Somali couriers put 20. No, put $700 million. $700 million in suitcases and they went through the airport. That's what they found. That to Put that into perspective. That's about a million dollars a day in cash from Somalia. Couriers getting, going through, you know, X ray machine going through, being checked. $1 million a day in cash for two years. Now you have to ask yourself, was there no one that said, but cash. There's a million dollars going through this airport today in cash. And there was a million dollars yesterday in a suitcase, and there was a million dollars the day before that in a suitcase. And they're all going to the same place. Can you imagine going into the airport and having $10,000, you know, in small bills? So it fills up just a briefcase and you have $10,000 in cash in a briefcase. And you go through the security line and they say, can you open this up? And you open it up and they see $100 bills and it's $10,000 in cash. Do you think anyone would pull you aside if you were doing it every day? Do you think someone would pull you aside? Do you think someone at the airport might say, there's something going on here? There's $10,000 a day from this courier that's going to the same place outside of the country. Should we alert the Treasury? Should we alert the FBI, dhs? Who. Who do we alert here? Do you think anyone would call somebody and you would be investigated? If you were doing that every day with $10,000, if you were doing that every day for two years, if you think that the Feds wouldn't be on your doorstep, you're out of your mind. Now take it. Not $10,000. It's a million dollars a day. It is $700 million over like 20 months. $700 million. And no one knew about that? No one asked any questions. The state didn't know that. That. Let's just say the guy from the airport's like, hey, I was just doing, you know, an anal exam just a minute ago. And then I saw this briefcase come through with a million dollars in cash in it. I, you know, I gotta finish the anal exam over on grandma. Cause she might, you know, have a shoe bomb up her butt. Uh, but I just wanted to check is anybody knows that million dollars that just went through, you know, that phone call happened. Now you also know that somebody in DHS that had to percolate up to the top somewhere in Washington, D.C. and if it's going up to the top is somewhere in Washington, D.C. and it is money that is illegally gained. The feds did some sort of investigation. Now, this is during the Obama admin. Sorry, the Biden Administration, one year was. And now we know about it, because the minute Donald Trump gets in, they find it and they investigate it. If you are part of that scheme where you are giving money to these daycare centers, and all of a sudden $700 million is going through your airport in suitcases by Somali carriers, I can guarantee you that somebody got to Waltz and anybody else involved in this and went, you know, they're 700 million, and they're watching it, they're seeing it go through. There's no way they didn't know that that was going on. And there's no way they didn't know who that money was going to and from. And there's no way, if you know the names of where that money is coming from that you don't go, how has this person got all this money? Who are these people that are sending all this money? And then you realize, oh, my gosh, those are the people we're giving money to for a daycare center. I mean, there is no way to get around any of this. The guy is guilty, and it's not just him. There are tons of people, and I hope they're all white, because white people must face justice. I believe all people should face justice. But we know the left is super, super concentrating on the white people going to jail if they did anything wrong. So I'm sure the left is going to be cheerleaders on making sure those involved who are white in Minnesota go to jail. And I want you to know I'm right there with you. And in case you get distracted, I'll be there to remind you what these white people were doing, because we owe both of us so want justice for white people. So what is. What is Waltz actually doing? Waltz is doing everything he can. Think about how selfish this is. He, first of all, stole your money, gave it to people who were shipping it out of the country. He and his administration enabled and assisted in all of this, then turned a blind eye when it was real. When everybody realized, like, they didn't know in the first place, when they all realized, oh, something wrong is happening, they did nothing. Why? Because if they did something in the Somali community, it guaranteed that they would not be reelected. So there's selfish move number one. It was all about getting elected. Here's the next selfish move. Uh, don't let anybody know about obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. Because we'll get caught, and I don't want to go to jail. Selfish move number two. It only gets worse from there because what you saw yesterday was the most dangerous, selfish move I've ever seen anybody make. He is calling for a civil war and making himself the white knight on the white horse, saying, I'm just here to protect you, the neighbors. We can all do this together. Even though he's the guy who enabled people to come into your house and steal all of your stuff, and he's saying, I'm here to protect you from the bad guys who are trying to put me in jail. And he's willing to have people killed. He is willing to see a civil war. For what reason? To keep him out of jail. I don't think I've ever seen anything this selfish in my life. I mean, I've seen a lot of selfish things. I've seen a lot of people do a lot of things so they could get rich, they could live on the beach. But I don't think I've ever seen anyone in our country in my lifetime in a position of power who is calling and enabling and encouraging civil unrest and civil war to protect himself. More in a minute. Let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust dot com. There's a point in life where you realize some decisions are too important to crowdsource. You don't want 10 options. You don't want a friend of a friend who knows somebody whose kid is actually wants to be a real estate agent, but he's in a band most of the time. You want a good real estate agent. Okay. Real estate is one of those things that you really need to pay attention to. And it's. It's hard. It's a. It's like juggling cats. There's a lot of things you have to notes. It's, you know, not just about price or location. It's about timing. It's about strategy. It. It's about what. Knowing what matters, what doesn't. Because everything is moving quickly and at once. Most people don't have the experience to know which agent can handle all of that. What you know, which one can just talk a good game and which one actually gets it done. And that's started this company with my brother Robert years ago. It's called Real Estate Agents I trust. It's why we exist. It takes this process that's usually built on guesswork and connects you with the agents who actually have been vetted and know from years of experience, we know they have the skill and the expertise to do it, and they're good people. That's part of our vetting process. We want to know who they are. These are the professionals who know when to push, when to wait, and when to tell you the answer you may not want to hear, but you need to hear anyway. And that kind of guidance makes all the difference when the stakes are real. So go to realestateagentsitrust.com we'll show you how to buy or sell a home in a tough market. And this is a tough market, how you can get it done effectively and fast. The name says it all. Realestateagentsitrust.com It's a free service to you. Just interview the recommendations that we have. You'll see the difference. Real estate agents, I trust. Dot com. Ten seconds Station. All right, Ricky. I set up this clip from Anderson Cooper because we have Ryan Morrow coming on in just a second. And it looks like the woman who was killed, which they're now saying she was just there to as a neighbor to get all the neighbors together to protect, and they shot her while she was just trying to do good things. And she was part of this group. Set this clip up.
- [19:42]
Ricky (Executive Producer)
Yeah, this is what's coming up with Ryan Morrow is going to debunk the narrative that she was a poet who was just dropping her kid off at school in the area. To CNN's credit, Anderson Cooper and CNN have footage that shows that she. It appears that she goes from a parallel position to the sidewalk to then moving to clearly obstruct traffic going both ways. Here's cut 30.
- [20:09]
CNN Reporter
CNN has obtained some new video. Again, it's grainy and distant, but it shows four full minutes leading up to the shooting. It shows Renee Goode's maroon Honda Pilot entering from the right there. Then 20 seconds later, someone gets out on the passenger side. We don't know who or why this person leaves the car. We then see her turn and pull perpendicular across the street, seeming to block the way, but as you see here, leaving room for vehicles to pass by her on either side. Finally, there is this new angle of the federal officer who shot her. He arrives. Another federal SUV pulls up as the ICE officer briefly goes back to his car. Then he returns, and with another agent grabbing at her door, she starts to move forward again. It's hard to see from this angle, followed by three gunshots in quick succession. Four minutes in all, from start to finish. But for all the video that may reveal it says nothing about why Renee Goode was where she was or what she was doing there.
- [21:10]
Glenn Beck
Okay. It's becoming more and more clear what she was doing there. Stu, set up the other clip where it shows It's a close up of her tires. Yeah.
- [21:21]
Stu
If you watch this clip and we'll explain it here for those watching listening on radio. You see the car's backing up, the officer's in front and you see the acceleration and as everyone is pointing out, the turn away from the officer. And when you see it the first time you say, wow, it does look like she's just trying to get away, not run over the officer. Now that doesn't mean the officer wouldn't see that coming.
- [21:42]
Glenn Beck
I would know that for a fact.
- [21:43]
Stu
But when you look let me show it one more time. This time just look at that front left wheel. When it starts to spin, it is still turned to the left and she just slips on the ice. If there was not ice there, there's no doubt she would have plowed right into him. That is the her intent is in question there. But certainly what he thought was happening I think is clear. He thought he was about to die.

So there's an old saying about, you know, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting, you know, different results is insanity. But we do it all the time. I mean, I do it, you do it, we all do it. If you ever try to catch up to debt month after month, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You make the payments, you juggle the bills. You tell yourself next month is going to be the one where you start to turn things around. The next month shows up and it's exactly like the last one. Same interest, same pressure, maybe even interest rates going up on you. Same feeling that you're running hard and not actually going anywhere at some point. The problem is not your effort, it's the approach. And this is where American Financing comes in. They help people stop repeating a strategy that is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. By using tools like home equity to consolidate your high interest debt, they they will help you lower the monthly payments, reduce the interest and create real breathing room so it's not insane anymore.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We have Ryan Morrow joining us because I want to go over a story that we, we called him about late last night and the guy has not slept. He is, I mean, this guy is a, a warrior for truth. Um, let me give you the story. This is from the Post. Renee. Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him was an anti ice warrior and part of a group of activists who work to document and resist the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota. Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti anti ICE activists through her 6 year old son's Woke Charter School that boasts they put social justice first and prioritizes involving kids in political and social activism. My gosh. Why would you put your six year old kid into a school that says that we're going to involve them in political activism? Oh, my gosh. These guys are dangerous revolutionaries. She was a warrior doing what she knew was right. Okay, so we called Ryan and we said, Ryan, can you, can you help us out on this group that she's involved with? Because they were making it sound like this group is just observing. Well, you don't take your car and block a street if you're an observer. That's not what observers do. Okay, Observers do exactly what, what's his name from Blaze? That was at January 6th.
- [25:48]
Ricky (Executive Producer)
Steve Baker.
- [25:49]
Glenn Beck
Steve Baker. They do exactly. They do that. They stand off to the side and they watch and they write down and they record. Okay? That's what an observer does. They don't block roads with their cars. So we called Ryan. Ryan, tell us what you found out about this group. Ryan Morrow from the, the Morrow Institute, he's the director, counterterrorism expert. You can help his group. And I urge you, if you want to stop Islamic extremism and you want to get to the bottom of stuff. We've just partnered with Ryan. He is part of our research team. Now, his team is so good. But please, it's a nonprofit and you can support by going to Ryan Morrow.com and finding out more information. Ryan, what'd you find last night?
- [26:36]
Ryan Morrow
Sure. Well, according to the New York Post, she became involved with this group called Minnesota Ice Watch through this school, with this charter school, which I'm still looking into and have some stuff that I want to verify before we get to that. But as for Minnesota ICE Watch, which is the group that would be actually on the streets as opposed to the school, it was actually fairly easy research to do because they were openly radical. It turned out this isn't really about the issue of protecting undocumented migrants, illegal immigrants, and protecting people from the abuse of the law enforcement. It's actually about doing things like eliminating America and setting cops cars on fire. You go to their social media page, and it doesn't take much work, actually, to find instructions on how to assault police in order to get free people open up cop car doors and pull people out. They do not recognize the United States as a legitimate country. They oppose that, refer to it as Turtle Island.
- [27:44]
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh. They're Turtle island people. Oh, my God. Okay, okay.
- [27:53]
Ryan Morrow
So you want to explain what that is?
- [27:54]
Glenn Beck
You go ahead.
- [27:56]
Ryan Morrow
So Turtle island, it's. I'm not even sure it has a ton of merit, but it goes to this belief that a lot of anarchists and communists spread out there saying that just like Israel should be referred to as Palestine, then all of north and Central America should be referred to as Turtle Island. Because they say that the indigenous people, the Native Americans, that's what they all referred to it as. And I'm not finding a ton of verification that that's actually true, but that's what they say in order to basically indirectly call for the destruction of the United States, which is a more uncomfortable thing to say than, hey, destroy Israel, It's a little bit less popular.
- [28:33]
Glenn Beck
And so.
- [28:33]
Ryan Morrow
And so when they start talking about liberating Turtle island, that's what they're calling. And that's why I've been calling the Turtle Island Intifada. So they believe in that, but their language goes even is even more aggressive than that. Where you actually have posts where the one that's really alarming to me, it says, how to start a community defense center in your neighborhood. And them and their allies usually say, oh, that's where. That just means we're watching, defending. In terms of like, we'll give you the number to a lawyer. Well, that's hard to say when your post has a depiction of a cop car on fire. So when they could set up your community defense center in your local neighborhood. That's a violent intention. That's how you build an insurgency.
- [29:20]
Glenn Beck
Okay, hang on just a second.
- [29:22]
Ryan Morrow
People watching.
- [29:22]
Glenn Beck
Let me just tie this together. You just heard what Ryan just said just there on that thing about protecting your neighborhood. Can we please play the audio of Governor Walsh from yesterday? We played just a few minutes ago. And listen with that information in mind, listen to what he said.
- [29:38]
Governor Tim Walsh
Our history, when things looked really bleak. It was Minnesota's first that held that line for the nation on that July 3, 1863. And I think now we may be in that moment that the nation's looking to us to hold the line on democracy, to hold the line on decency, to hold the line on accountability, and more than that, to rise up as neighbors and simply say we can look out for one another.
- [30:07]
Glenn Beck
That I told you 25 minutes ago, what he's doing is he is empowering and activating a neighborhood Revolutionary Guard. That's exactly what Ryan was just saying. In different words, this is a group that is telling you as neighbors, here's how we get together and protect your neighborhood from these evil police. This is what's happening and the governor is encouraging it and speaking the same language. Would you agree with that, Ryan, or am I off base?
- [30:46]
Ryan Morrow
No, I agree. I think he's using the language that is comfortable to him and he may not even know the origin of where that rhetoric is coming from. That it is essential is seditious in nature. If you look at the groups on glenn beck.com in my article, I go into some more detail about them. I mean, they're anarchists, they're anarcho communists and kind of open about it. The material that this group posts comes from, groups are quite open about that. And they actually say, you know, as part of setting up your community defense centers in neighborhoods, you know, wherever you can do it. After you pick out a spot, the next step is you find local organizations to bring into your alliance. And then you identify nearby vulnerable sites for developing strategic patrol routes, like for intelligence gathering and stuff. And what they name are things like car washes and vendor hubs and churches. So I suspect there's an increasing presence of the Christian anarchists and sometimes they'll ally with open Satanists. I've seen that. So ally with what? Don't be surprised. Ally with like Satanists, like people who are. I'm a member of the Church of Satan type people. And. And you'll see them, they'll be crossover between them within this Turtle island movement and with Christian anarchists. And so this mentioning of churches as vulnerable spots that need protection is. It's just a data point to keep in mind for whatever they're envisioning. But they're envisioning something because their post, they had one of their most recent posts, which was written with another more openly violent anarchist group, actually calls for reinforcements. People to show up at a certain location and they ask people to bring their Christmas trees to burn and Anything that they can use to barricade the streets.
- [32:32]
Ricky (Executive Producer)
And this is Ricky. Thanks for working on this all night, by the way. He didn't get a drop asleep.
- [32:38]
Glenn Beck
By the way. Ricky is our executive producer of all of the Glenn Beck stuff.
- [32:42]
Ricky (Executive Producer)
We dialed back some of the language on how we framed the headline of this. We can definitely ascertain that it's an extremist violent group. ICE Watch is. But you went so far as to call it a domestic terrorist group. That fits the definition of the FBI. Can you. Can you explain that? Because that's pretty loaded. And if we're going to make this claim about her reported ties to ICE Watch being a domestic terrorist group, please back that up.
- [33:12]
Ryan Morrow
Yes, absolutely. I happen to have the FBI definition up here, actually. So you go to FBI.gov, you look at the definition of domestic terrorism and it reads as follows. And again, this is dependent on the New York Post reporting things.
- [33:27]
Glenn Beck
Wait, wait, wait. You broke up. I don't know if you're going from your bedroom to the bathroom, but I'm not. Okay, stay. Okay, you're back. Okay, go ahead, tell us what.
- [33:36]
Ryan Morrow
Okay, good. Yeah, so. So, yeah, New York Post says that she's connected to this group. And so I'm saying that this group meets the FBI's definition of domestic terrorism. And it reads as follows. Violent criminal acts committed by individuals and or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, social, racial, or environmental nature. So ideologically motivated violence that is criminal in nature. Which if you're telling. If you're teaching your supporters how to free people from the being in the possession of the police, I would say that fits the definition.
- [34:15]
Glenn Beck
Wow. So, Ryan, have you seen anyone else? I mean, because that yesterday they tried to make her look like just a simple mom who, you know, just really cares about Somali people and injustice and everything else. And then when this came out, all I heard all day yesterday was she was just. She's an all. She is an observer. She was just observing. She's there with this group that they help out with, making sure that nothing is wrong, and they report on the police and everything else. Is anyone else reporting this? Who this group is that she's actually with?
- [34:55]
Ryan Morrow
A New York Post touched on it a bit. They focus more on the charter school, which is apparently, according to their reporting, where she connected with Minnesota ICE Watch. But I think that came out pretty quickly. And so maybe just was a matter of time before people combed through it all. But no, that. That narrative is still there forming and as you well know, when there's controversies like this, if you're late with the facts at all, it doesn't take long for things to cement in people's minds at the moment and then in their memories a few weeks later when things fade. And so it's important that we react rapidly with the truth and with these types of facts as these things form, so people understand what's really going on. That the issue, you're being told is the issue often isn't actually the issue.
- [35:43]
Glenn Beck
It never is. It never is. Thank you so much, Ryan. Just keep us up to speed. The article, you can find it@glenn beck.com he just broke a story with us yesterday about another domestic terror group that everybody needs to be aware of that is on the Sharia law side of what's happening to America. This one is just the radical anarchists and communists and Marxists that are involved. And that is apparently who she was involved with. She was not just somebody who is there to observe. Again, you don't park your car across the road to block it if you're just an observer. That's insanity and we all know it. Will anyone actually admit to that in the press? We'll. We'll see. Ryan, thank you so much. Where do people go to help, to help you? I got to write this down so I have it.

You bet. You bet. Ryan Morrow, I have to tell you, we. There are several people that we have been watching over years and, and we rely on and look at as really good, solid, reasonable people that we know do their homework that we have worked with over the years. And one of the things that I'm doing with my new Torch project is a couple of things. One, we're not holding back. You know, when we would do these Wednesday night specials, it would take us about two weeks to do a Wednesday night special. So we were always two weeks ahead on whatever it was. And there's so much going on that what we found was by the time we would get there, there would be another story in the news that was so big that this one kind of fell by the dust. And, and we don't have time to wait. And so we've taken our Wednesday night specials and we're just putting them on radio every day. And when we find it, we don't hold it, we just give it to you right away because I just feel that's the right thing to do. For time. But we're also, we are more than doubling our efforts on research and Ryan is one of our new partners and we are working closely with them to make sure that their research is seen and heard. And we work together because I also don't think any of us have time to duplicate efforts. We have to work together if we're going to make progress and save, not just America, Western civilization. So if you want to support him beyond what we're doing, please go to Ryan Morrow. Brian M A U R O Ryan morrow.com you can support him there. You find his article now@glenn beck.com make sure there's a link on all of his articles to him so people can support. We're supporting him as well. But also you can support us 10% once we start doing subscriptions. I've always tithed 10% of everything that I personally make. I have made a new rule. Not only am I doing that, but my company, every dime our company makes 10% will go to charity and to people like Ryan, beyond what we do to make sure that we are, that we are giving back to the community. So join us@glenn beck.com when you lose power, your house suddenly stops feeling like a house and starts feeling like, you know, a waiting room. Everybody huddles into one space and you start doing mental math about how long this is going to last. And suddenly the heat is the only thing that anyone can think about. That's why the Vesta heater from my Patriot Supply is such a smart piece of gear. It doesn't ask questions about the grid, it doesn't care about extension cords, and it doesn't require you to improvise. It provides real heat without electricity, and it can also be used for cooking, which means you're solving two very real problems at the same time. What I like about the Vesta Heater is how grounded it is. It's a backup for the things that matter most when conditions are not, let's say, ideal and you need heat right away. The best part is right now you can get a Vesta and a bunch of other preparedness gear as free gifts. When you order the winter survival kit from my Patriot Supply, that's my Patriotsupply.com Glenn. See everything included. Right now, my Patriotsupply.com Glenn, you're going to be thinking about that for a couple minutes, huh? Glenn Beck will be right back.

One of the biggest frustrations people have with food isn't hunger as much as it's just unpredictability. You don't know how you're going to feel after it. You know, you eat something that's supposed to be good, and an hour later you're foggy or sluggish or reaching for something else just to get you through the afternoon. That cycle wears you down faster than people realize. And Health Code was built to break the pattern by focusing on how your body actually responds to what you eat, not how impressive the label looks. It's designed to provide steady fuel so you're not riding waves of energy and crashes all day long. Dr. Ben Bickman, he's a metabolic scientist. He created this health code after years of researching why so many people felt this way. Tired and unfocused, Even if they're making good choices, they don't feel right. What kept showing up in the data was metabolic health, blood sugar stability, insulin response, whether meals were helping the body stay balanced or constantly recover, Health Code is a nutritionally complete meal shake. It's built around those findings, and it prioritizes protein and healthy fats. It keeps carbs low, avoids added sugar. Of course, all this helps support metabolic health and gut health and brain health all at the same time, without relying on our artificial fillers or empty calories. For a lot of people, it becomes the most reliable meal of the day. And that consistency makes a big difference. So save some money on this as well. Shakesavings.com is where you can go right now.

Glam Back is on. Glam Back is on. The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Last hour, we talked about ice and what's happening in Minnesota, and it is extremism. And you have a governor who I believe yesterday is quietly calling for civil war. He is telegraphing to their own Revolutionary Guard that civil war is coming. It is extraordinarily dangerous and you need to be aware of it. You can find some new information breaking only@glenn beck.com@glennbeck.com on that. Also, GDP, the Atlantic Fed is now projecting that the fourth quarter is going to come in at 5% growth. We also have the Supreme Court possibly releasing something here in the next few minutes on tariffs. Can the president do what he's doing on tariffs? If that comes back and they tell him no, what does that mean? We'll get into that. Also, the president said yesterday about Mexican land strikes. This is going to change things as well. And we are going to talk this hour about what's happening in Iran. The entire Middle east is changing. And last night, I mean, it, it appeared as though we're really close to Iran, possibly falling and having airplanes pick some mullahs up and maybe take them to God only knows where, Russia, Russia, or maybe the moon. But it could also go the other way. It is a very dangerous situation we're in right now. And we just have to pray for everybody in the Middle east and the, and the Iranians, the Persian people, that they can actually be free of these mullahs. And we, we do it as peacefully as we can, but we will see. We have the ambassador, the Israeli ambassador to the United States ambassador, Ambassador Leiter with us. And I want to talk to him because a lot has changed and we are in this very dangerous situation of transition. And I want to talk to him about what Israel is doing and how they view what's happening in Iran. Coming up in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. There is a comfort that comes from routine, but there's also a danger, you know, in never revisiting the things that run in the background of your life. The bills, the autopay, the services you set up years ago, the companies you're doing business with, simply because you just haven't stopped to notice. What exactly do they do with their money? Do they actually like America? Do they stand for the same things that you stand for? Is your cell phone service a perfect example of this? I mean, it's essential. It's constant. It touches every part of your day in every way. And it's really weird how none of us really think about the companies that we're doing business with. I mean, it just runs and runs. You know, if you're doing Verizon, Verizon gives a lot of money every year to Planned Parenthood. If you want that, that's fine. But did you know that? And if you are like me and you're pro life, why would I be giving money to Verizon so they can help bolster abortions in America? Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative mobile phone carrier I believe in the world and they stand with our founding values, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Patriotmobile.com Beck call them now at 972 Patriot. Use the promo code Beck. For a free month of service, it's patriotmobile.com Beck or call 972 Patriot. Use the promo Code Beck and make the sure you switch today. Ambassador Leiter, how are you, sir?
- [47:27]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
I'm good, Glenn. Good to be with you.
- [47:28]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, good to be with you. Always.
- [47:30]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
Good to be back in Texas.
- [47:31]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, no, it's great, isn't it? I just moved to Florida and when we landed in Texas, because my studio's obviously still here in, in Texas and my team is in Texas. And there's just something about getting off the plane and just feeling the sweet, sweet soil of Texas under your feet.
- [47:47]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
You know, how many times Israel can fit into Texas?
- [47:50]
Glenn Beck
I mean, dozens of times I think Israel could fit in Dallas. Dozens of.
- [47:55]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
That's correct. Actually, when former President Bush visited Israel for the first time and Ariel Sharon, our former prime minister, took him in a helicopter ride over the entire country. So he got, they landed back in Jerusalem and President Bush got off the helicopter and he said, well, Mr. Prime Minister, that's about the size of my.
- [48:17]
Glenn Beck
Ranch, I was going to say.
- [48:20]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
So Israel is the size of one ranch.
- [48:22]
Glenn Beck
I know in Texas. Let me, let me talk to you about what happened, what is happening in Iran, because I, I view the events of the week with what is, what happened in Venezuela, what is happening in Iran in, in two different ways. To me, it is some of the most positive thing, possibly most positive things I have seen since the fall of the Berlin Wall. But it is also one of the most dangerous things I've ever seen because everybody's being backed into a corner and God only knows what, you know, people who are desperate and feel like they're about to lose all their power, what they will do. How do you, as the ambassador, view what is happening in Iran?
- [49:08]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
Well, as you say, God only knows. I'm going to be very careful about assessing what's taking place as we speak because there is obviously an uprising of the population. And really, at the end of the day, we believe it has to be determined by the people themselves. You know, Iran has a very, very rich civilization. We're not talking about something that came on the world stage A few years ago. Persians are amazing people. They have a civilization that goes way back. It has, interestingly, interspersed with Judaism, with Christianity, with Islamic. And the 92 million people in Iran are saying to the mullahs that have been running this place in a tyrannical fashion, we want freedom. We want to express ourselves. I mean, look what's happened. They have spent billions and billions of dollars creating proxies around Israel to carry out this diabolical plan of destroying Israel. I mean, they had this idea of a ring of fire where they support the Hamas and the Houthis and the Hezbollah and the Assad regime and Hezbollah in Iraq, they would attack Israel all at once and then fire ballistic missiles in the center of the country. That was the original plan. October 7th. You know, this Sinwar guy just. He was so filled with hatred, he couldn't wait. He just jumped the gun. So all of this money was spent at the expense of the Iranian people. And since June, since Rising Lion Midnight Amber, these people have not had water, they've not had electricity. They have no freedoms. And they're going out into the streets and saying, enough of this. Why are we giving $350 million a year to Hamas? Why are we giving a billion dollars to Hezbollah when they've already been degraded? I mean, Israel has, you know, degraded Hamas, we've degraded Hezbollah. The Assad regime fell because we degraded Hezbollah. You know, it was Hezbollah that had a state, not that the state had a proxy. So once Assad didn't have Hezbollah to lean on, Ashara's people moved in and took it over, which is, you know, a very positive sign. So, as you say, Glenn, in your introduction, there's tremendous promise in the air, but whenever change is afoot, dramatic change, there are also dangers. So regarding Iran, we hope that the people express themselves. Democracy is the people expressing themselves. So this can't come in from the outside. The United States can't force this. Israel can't. Nobody can force this.
- [51:24]
Glenn Beck
No. And every time people of Iran have to force. Yeah, every time we try to, you know, as the United States, we try to come in and we're going to give them democracy. It fails miserably. People themselves, in their own country, have to want it and work for it and win it themselves, which is the essence of democracy.
- [51:43]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
Right? I mean.
- [51:43]
Glenn Beck
Correct.
- [51:44]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
You can't go top down.
- [51:44]
Glenn Beck
No, absolutely. There you're. Israel is. I don't know if you know this, but you control the world.
- [51:52]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
So, you know, if there's one thing I can tell you, Glenn, having been in Washington for a year. There's one thing that I can say with absolute authority. We do not run the world.
- [52:02]
Glenn Beck
No, no, no, no. That's why you're building settlements everywhere. Everywhere. And the United States is telling you, you know, don't do that. But did you see the latest crazy.
- [52:12]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
The latest figures of money coming into the United States from Qatar?
- [52:16]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, No, I haven't.
- [52:17]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
Oh, you haven't seen that? Oh, you should take a look.
- [52:19]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [52:19]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
Billions and billions and billions of dollars into higher education, into K12. And, you know, so I'm not criticizing anything, but all I'm saying is if you're saying that the Jews are running the universities, have another look at where the fund is coming from.
- [52:35]
Glenn Beck
Yeah. And, you know, it amazes me on how people are saying, you know, you're spending money and you're influencing. Well, that's what a State Department talk to Marco Rubio about, what we do. I don't understand why people will accept that from us and every other country. We know every other country is trying to influence our policy, just as we try to influence other countries policy. That's the way it works.
- [53:02]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
Well, you know, what we're basically doing, and this is what the Prime Minister did in his very first meeting with President Trump almost a year ago now, by the way, the only foreign leader that's met with the President six times in 10 months. Okay. Prime Minister Netanyahu. They have a wonderful personal relationship, President Trump and Bibi. And he basically came and said, look, these are our interests. To the degree that you're aligned with our interests, we're going to be very happy.
- [53:26]
Glenn Beck
That's the way it should be.
- [53:27]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
And you know, 98% of the time, our interests are going to be aligned. You know what I'm here for. Why did I come to Texas this time? I'm going to visit Lockheed Martin. And the relationship that Israel has with Lockheed Martin is something that Israel celebrates, and I think every American should celebrate, because the time that our pilots spend in those F35s is greater than all of the countries that are involved in that project combined. So the knowledge that we give back to the United States Air force on those F35s is worth billions and billions of dollars, far in excess of anything that we're getting in military aid.
- [54:07]
Glenn Beck
So I wanted to. I wanted to ask you, because I want to talk to you about Syria, too, because you were just in a meeting in, I think, Paris about Syria with the Syrians.
- [54:16]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
You've been reading up the intel because I didn't tell you that well, you've been following me.
- [54:24]
Glenn Beck
But I want to ask you this. You're getting. People are reporting today that Israel is on the ground pushing for this revolution. And I don't know what you can. Which revolution in Iran?
- [54:40]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
No, no, no, no, no. We operate to protect our citizens. Okay. When there was a nuclear weaponization program afoot which was intended to destroy Israel. Israel is a tiny, tiny country. We talked about that. So, you know, a few nuclear bombs and it's gone. As a matter of fact, a former leader of Iran said we're a one bomb country, okay? That's what he called us. So we acted to defend ourselves, to protect ourselves. We're not acting to bring democracy to Iran. That's for the people of Iran.
- [55:08]
Glenn Beck
Well, I will tell you, you should reconsider that because I hope our United States, I hope our CIA is on the ground not getting involved, just a doing what Trump did. We are not going to allow you people to be slaughtered. We stand with the people. It's what Reagan did.
- [55:26]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
Well, the President made a very strong statement, right?
- [55:28]
Glenn Beck
And what Reagan did, I mean, I know for a fact, because I know people that were there when the Berlin Wall was falling. We had people behind the scenes and helping the people gain their own. And I don't want to start anything, I don't want to bring it to them, but I do want, I think it is our responsibility to show support for people who are fighting for their own living.
- [55:49]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
Well, the President of the United States is the leader, at least of the free world, perhaps of the world. So, you know, the statement made by the president is of cardinal importance. But, you know, Israel is going to take a very low profile in this regard. We want, we want, we want peace with all of our neighbors, including Iran. And there's no reason in the world why our two civilizations can't live side by side.
- [56:10]
Glenn Beck
So tell me about Syria, because I don't understand. I honestly, and this is a problem that I have with the, the current administration on just at least making it understandable. We've got a guy in Syria who is a very, very bad guy who's now running Syria. And I'm being told, well, no, he's going to be a really good guy. And I, I'm, I'm worried that we're doing the same thing that we've always done, bad people in and say, well, they're going to be, you know, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. Well, not sometimes. Can you tell me about what's happening in Syria and your meetings that you had and what's happening there. Yeah.
- [56:48]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
So let me play the devil's advocate and present the flip side. Okay, so before we had Ashara in there at the head of Syria, we had the Assad regime in there for half a century. And these were butchers. I mean, they massacred their own people. They sent millions into exile. They used chemical weapons, biological stuff. Really bad people. And they were doing bad things and saying bad things. And they were proxies of Iran. Now, we don't have Assad there. We at least have people who have a very troubling background but are saying things that are at least playing the music which is appealing. Now, there isn't a long history of jihadists becoming Jeffersonians. That's true. We are concerned and we urge caution. That was what I said in Paris on Tuesday when I met with the foreign Minister of Syria. We'd like to proceed with you. We love what you're saying, but we need caution. We need to see that your minorities are protected. We need to see that jihadi forces are not moving down to our border. Look, the most important thing that we learned from October 7th. Look, the United States just issued its national defense policy paper, right? We also are in the throes of preparing our national defense strategy. And the cornerstone of it is going to be that we do not allow jihadists to be on our border anymore. We have a very small, tiny country. We can't have jihadists 30,000, 40,000, 50,000, armed to the teeth, ready to attack. That's what we had before. We had Hezbollah in the north. We had Hamas in the south. We have the Houthis firing missiles from Yemen. We have the Hezbollah in Iraq firing missiles. And Iran themselves were firing missiles at ourselves. So, you know, that's the cornerstone of our defense policy. We can't have jihadis at the border and. And Syria. There's no reason in the world why we can't soon go back to the international border. We don't want to stay in Syria. We're in a sliver right now. We're in a sliver of territory. Turkey, by the way, occupies far more territory of Syria in the north than we occupy in the south.
- [58:49]
Glenn Beck
But we're ready to move.
- [58:51]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
But we're ready to move when it's absolutely convincing that we're not going to endanger our population.
- [58:57]
Glenn Beck
I mean, China is doing that. Everybody seems to be carving up their own part of the world and saying, I'm sorry, but we're not tolerating this anymore. China is doing that. That's why they're, you know, doing the things they're doing in South Korea, etcetera, But we're doing it in Venezuela and Panama. We're saying, look, you're not going to have these guys right on our border causing us problems.
- [59:20]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
A country doesn't operate in its national security interest. It's not a country.
- [59:23]
Glenn Beck
Okay, back in just a second with more because I want to talk to you about the relationships and how this has changed because the Middle east has a possibility for the first time in my life of like, getting along with one another. And it's, it's an amazing change. We'll do that in just a second and then we're going to get to specifics in about 10 minutes on what happened last night. First, let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust a strange assumption people make about real estate that if you're reasonably smart, you're going to figure out, you know, you'll figure it out as you go. You'll know when to push, when to wait, when to walk, and when to hold your ground. Uh, even though most people only buy or sell a home a few times in their entire life, you buy a car much more, and I hate buying a car. But you buy a car many more times than you buy a house. And yet it's gonna be fine. The problem is real estate is not a skill that you can, you can wing and the market moves. Timing matters, negotiation matters. Misjudgments have a way of turning into a very expensive lesson after the effect. That's why we have real estate agents like trust.com. this is my company. I started it out of frustration. I didn't know how to vet real estate agents. I didn't know who was good. I started working with the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. And I learned from them. I found out what makes you different. And then we set out to find those people so I could provide a free service to you and recommend those great real estate agents. All I ask is he just. If you're looking to buy or sell a house, you just check them out. We'll tell you who the best ones are in your area. You just check them out. It's free service to you. Go to real estate agentsitrust.com we'll show you how to sell or buy a home, even in a tough market with the right real estate agent. The name says it all. Realestate agents I trust Dot com. Ten seconds. Station ID.
- [61:12]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
One hell of a screen.
- [61:13]
Glenn Beck
So, yeah, let's Talk about the entire Middle east seems to be changing. And you have people that 10, 15 years ago, I would have never thought are going to be able to sit down at the table and work together. There is a real change that's seeming to happen. Is it real?
- [61:37]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
It's real. It is absolutely real. I spent a lot of time in Abu Dhabi prior to the war in think tank capacity. And here I am, as you can see, with my kippah, my yamaka on my head, I'm walking through the streets of Abu Dhabi feeling completely at home as an Orthodox Jew, not being threatened at all. I can't walk through European cities with my yarmulke, right? So who could have imagined that just 10 years ago? Look at that amazing change that's taking place. Israel and the UAE have space programs together, okay? Tremendous business opportunities going on. Nobody could have imagined that 10 years ago. When they decided to deradicalize in 2011, after the Arab Spring, they did it quickly, they did it with a cadence that really worked. And, you know, it's a Muslim country, but it is a Westernized Muslim country. It's a country that wants to live side by side with the west. And that's really what's taking place within Islam as a whole. In the Middle east, there's this tectonic battle between those who want reform, want to accommodate Judeo Christian civilization, and those who oppose Western civilization. So the moderates, if they want to accommodate Judeo Christian civilization, the first thing they're going to do is make peace with Israel. So that was Abraham Accords 1.0. That was the genius of Trump in 2019, 2020, it was Abraham Accords, UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, Morocco coming into an agreement, living side by side with Israel without making demands, you know, divide Jerusalem, give up this settlements. No, it was just making peace because we want to make peace with Judeo Christian civilization. Iran led the movement. It doesn't matter if you're Shiite or Sunni. It's the extremists on both sides who say, no, we cannot live side by side with Judeo Christian civilization. The first thing we're going to do is try to destroy Israel. So both of these currents are there and hopefully the current of moderation, accommodation is going to win out.
- [63:31]
Glenn Beck
Well, you are living right at the center. You're living literally it. Sometimes I feel like ground zero. And we pray for you and we pray for peace in the Middle east through all of it. We pray for the Persian people and the Iranian people that nobody miscalculates. Here we're in a place please God.
- [63:50]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
Please God, nobody miscalculates. I do want to just express my appreciation for our Christian brother and sisters in this country who have supported Israel throughout this very difficult seven front war. We appreciate it. We don't express our gratitude enough and I'm here to do that. I want to really extend my hugs and appreciation for that.
- [64:10]
Glenn Beck
Ambassador, thank you so much.
- [64:12]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
Good to be with you, Glenn.
- [64:13]
Glenn Beck
You bet. Ambassador Leiter, he is the Israeli ambassador to the US More in just a second. Stand by. Let me tell you about Relief factor. We spend a lot of time talking about symptoms in this country and almost no time talking about causes something hurts. You reach for something that, you know, makes it quiet for a while and then you move on until it comes back and you do it all over again. What relief factor does is different. It is built around addressing one of the most common underlying contributors to everyday discomfort and pain. And it's inflammation. Not the acute, you know, obvious kind, but the low level, persistent kind that builds up over time and it just, you know, it won't fix itself. This is a daily supplement that is designed to support the body's natural response. It overrides or, you know, mask the signals. And that's important because when you focus on the source of the problem instead of just the symptom, the outcome tends to last longer. And the difference, you know, may not be dramatic or sudden, but it is practical and it is really, really good. Relief factor, 100% drug free, targets the inflammation that causes pain so you can move better, feel better and actually enjoy life again. Try the three week quick start, 1995 relieffactor.com 1, 800 for relief 1, 800 for relief relieffactor.com let's see if you're next getting out of pain. Make sure you join us@glenn beck.com the torch. You're going to be able to see this show in a way you've never seen it before. Including the insider behind the scenes that joins now@glenn beck.com. All right, we are gonna start taking. Can I go now, Sarah? Is that okay if I go now? It's my own show. I mean, she's telling me when I can talk. My gosh Zionist master is bullcrap. You know, it's Sarah who controls everything that's happening here. Oh, I'm on to you, Sarah. Now the American people are too. Anyway, sorry about that. We're going to take your phone calls 8 at 8727-BBECK all next hour, all your phone calls, wall to wall. I just, we have not gotten all the news that we need to. By the way, looks like the tariff ruling from the Supreme Court is not coming today. I don't know if that's good news or bad news. I don't know which. I know where I fall constitutionally and I know where I fall in hopes. And they're diametrically opposed to each other. To each other. So we'll see what happens on this. Also, we have to talk about the president saying yesterday about Mexican land strikes, the gdp. The Atlanta Fed has said now we're going to, they're expecting the fourth quarter to come in at 5% GDP growth. So, you know, we started the year at, what was it?.5. I think it was 0.5 minus, minus 0.5 in GDP growth. And then it is just kept going up and going up. I want to give you a history of what 5% GDP growth means. When China was really doing well, they were between 8 and 9% GDP growth. This is stunning if you have that kind of growth. And I know it doesn't feel that way yet, but something is happening to give you an understanding of 5% growth. Our recovery from the, you know, the financial crisis. Our recovery happened in 2014. So between 2008 and 2014, by 2014, that year, one quarter at least, we had 5% GDP growth. Okay. It took that many years. Let me give you another stat. In 1984, Reagan finally really kicked in and it was about 8% GDP growth. Okay, 8%. If you lived in the 1980s, you know what that felt like. But it took him four years to get there. We are just over 11 months of Trump in office and we have gone from negative growth to 5. We could be facing a very good election, period, economically, that, and that will change everything, but we're going to continue to watch. Also, unemployment is down again. Slight, but it's down again. The last thing I want to talk to you about is Iran and what happened last night. Jason, who is doing. How's the insider behind the scenes broadcast going?
- [69:13]
Jason
So good. Ever the con. I'm missing all the comments right now, but I mean from where they started on Monday, they were just starting to trickle in, I guess as they were trying to figure out what this was all about. Now I can't even keep up with it now. It's like a huge feature and they're like, jason, can you, can you yell into Glenn and ask him about this? It's just amazing. The audience, I love them.
- [69:32]
Glenn Beck
I love the audience. They're just amazing, you know, and I want to say this, and I mean this sincerely, and whether you believe me or not, I don't care, but I truly love this audience. I love every time I meet you, I feel like we've known each other forever. Even though they were meeting for the first time. It is the most caring group of people ever. And I, I'm building what I'm building now called the torch, but it's actually glenn beck.com I'm building all of this stuff as my torch and it is my way of lighting something and then giving it to you so you can light the way. And what we have planned for you to be involved and actually have this one on one conversation, are we doing in two weeks, are we doing the town hall?
- [70:22]
Ricky (Executive Producer)
We're gonna have to talk to your new CEO about that.
- [70:25]
Glenn Beck
But we're gonna go, forget it, Forget it. We're going to do it. We're going to do it. Everybody's like, it's going to cost so much money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Abracadabra will make money at some point, but anyway, we'll have to start taking subscriptions to make money. I know, but we're, we really want your help on building it. So we're building something that is actually useful to you. And you know, we haven't even had a chance to mention this and I. Have you seen anybody mention this yet? The Open has changed our. Our theme song changes every year.
- [71:01]
Ricky (Executive Producer)
Oh, they've noticed for the.
- [71:03]
Glenn Beck
Not the theme song. For the very first time since 2020, the verbiage has changed. And it's always been the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. I added and changed that for the first time in 26 years. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment and empowerment. Because my goal is to empower you with knowledge and information, the facts on everything. And we are coming up with delivery systems that nobody has done before. And you can find those and play around with some of them@glenn beck.com right now. Anyway, let's talk about what happened last night in Israel or, I mean, sorry, in Iran. What. How it felt to me like it might fall last night, but it didn't.
- [71:53]
Jason
I was watching last night and I completely agree with you. I was like, we might see the regime go down tonight. The things that we saw back in 2022, 23, the things that we saw back in 2009 where this started to kick off. I remember looking at the faces of some of the protesters that were out in the streets looking at some of the things they were willing to do that is nothing compared to what we saw last night. I saw a woman last night. She was probably 75 to 80 years old. She was walking down the street. She was holding up her arm in defiance and her mouth was pouring blood down her face and down her clothing. And she was still marching to whatever objective. I was like, I cannot believe Time magazine or whoever else wasn't there to take that photo. Because it's the photo of the year. Absolutely crazy. And keep in mind all these thousands of people that are actually. It spread to Tehran. There were tens of thousands marching down the street in Tehran.
- [72:51]
Ricky (Executive Producer)
170 plus cities.
- [72:53]
Glenn Beck
170 plus cities.
- [72:55]
Ricky (Executive Producer)
And other images for Time magazine are the young women without their hijab on smoking a cigarette, lighting the Ayatollah's image on fire. Those are starting to go viral now all over Iran.
- [73:10]
Jason
No headscarf, smoking the cigarette. And lighting is on three things they're not supposed to do right now.
- [73:15]
Ricky (Executive Producer)
I mean, they would be killed.
- [73:18]
Glenn Beck
Well, they still might be. That's why we have to pray for the Persian people. I wish people knew more about the Persian people. This civilization is a remarkable civilization that was way ahead of everybody else. And Tehran was like Paris. I mean, all the good parts and good things about Paris. It was very enlightened. It was. It was very smart, very well educated, very free. The women, you look at Pictures from the 1970s of. Of Iran, and the women were beautiful. You know, they were. It was a very western country. And the Marxist and the Islamist got together and overthrew the Shah. And they've been living, you know, in this hell since 1979, since I was born. Yeah.
- [74:11]
Jason
Speaking of the Shah, I remember when we were talking about this back when there was the Israeli campaign and when we bombed nuclear sites, some people were talking about the Shah as being the person to take over, lead this. And I was very skeptical of that. I didn't think that the people would go for it. The stuff that was happening last night was actually called for by the Shah. In fact, whoever he's working with, they were working with an organization that was providing, like, a QR code so that you could scan the QR code and film what you were doing. They were chanting in the streets yesterday, last night, the Shah's name. I mean, he was their battle cry.
- [74:49]
Glenn Beck
So here's the bad thing. So let me give you the good thing. I told you at the beginning of the week, here's what you watch for. I think I did. I had a list. I don't even know if I got to this list. But I had a list of all of the things that we have to watch for, you know, if you want to know what's going on. And one of them was, is it growing in labor unions? What is happening at the docks and the ports? Are you seeing police starting to, you know, put their clubs away? Are you starting to see the morality police kind of back off and all of those things you're starting to see. And it's getting better. But the. On the bad side, I said, what you need to watch for is, is the Internet still up? The phone's still working. Does it look like the mullahs are digging in and about to oppress? And last night the Internet was shut off and phone service was shut off, so you can't even call each other. That's really frightening.
- [75:49]
Jason
Yeah, that's frightening. And that.
- [75:51]
Israeli Ambassador to the US (Ambassador Leiter)
That.
- [75:51]
Jason
That is confirmed. Those two things did happen. And that makes you still out, that is? Not sure. I would assume so. But they're clearly not wanting the world to see how they're going to respond to all these people. But there are just the wildest reports that still need to be confirmed. But there were multiple reports that several Iranian officials were looking to get out of the country. There was a report that the ayatollah's ejection plan is to go to Russia. There were reports that. I think it was the. The main foreign minister, like their secretary of state, went to Beirut in Lebanon, took his family with him, with no plans to leave at the current time, which I don't blame him.
- [76:30]
Glenn Beck
What is Russia? What are they thinking? Russia has a population problem. Nobody's having babies. And so that culture is dying quickly, and yet the Islamic culture is growing. They're having 10 babies, and so that's growing. It's going to become a. A Muslim country at some point. Why would you bring the revolutionary mullahs into your country? What are they thinking?
- [77:01]
Jason
I think what they're thinking is they're seeing the empire they thought they were building slowly crumbling. We are seeing major geopolitical shifts in the world right now, and they're all happening simultaneously. South America, a big part of their key to their entire eventual takeover. All of it going away, gone. Iran, another huge part, not only of their empire, like militarily, through drone production, stuff like that, but also money, a lot of oil, A lot of these pieces are just getting taken off the board. And I think they're in desperation mode right now, which could be very dangerous. I think I heard with you talking about being backed into the corner with the ambassador. Did you see Alexander Dugan's tweet?
- [77:41]
Glenn Beck
Oh, I did. There is no international law. We should go. Well, I didn't see it about Iran and I saw it about Venezuela, and he said we should go in and take Zelinsky and bring him to Russia and try him.
- [77:55]
Jason
Yeah, I encourage everyone to go to his Twitter account just to see the mind of some of these people.
- [78:00]
Glenn Beck
Be very careful. He is very good at making sense. And you'll read some of his stuff and you'll be like, yeah, I agree with that. You have to know what he actually believes. He is an agent of chaos, and I believe an agent of evil, literal evil. He's very dangerous. Be careful.
- [78:19]
Jason
His response was very, very foreboding because he said that with the Russian military losing so much credibility, they're going to be forced to hit and hit hard very soon. Just to make an example, I gotta.
- [78:33]
Glenn Beck
Tell you, I think. I think NATO wants war. They're making moves that scare the hell out of me. Russia wants war because they've got to. I mean, when they start to collapse, that's when people become very dangerous. And, you know, the. I think every war. You know, I can't say this, But I think 99% of wars are started by a miscalculation. Somebody miscalculates and the whole world set on fire. And that's what we have to pray that no one miscalculates right now, because this is a tight rope that we are. We are walking right now, and it is extraordinarily dangerous. What are we expecting tonight? Do you have any idea what we is. Are we expecting maybe a possible roundup of people or more of what we saw last night in Iran?
- [79:30]
Jason
It'll be very interesting to see in the closing hours of daylight over there if we get any information whatsoever. But I don't. I expect more of what we saw last night. I expect more of people hitting the streets, pushing further and further. They were doing things last night that I never would have expected that they were. That they would do. They were burning actual government buildings. They were charging irgc, Revolutionary Guard Corps. They were charging their headquarters in multiple different cities.
- [80:01]
Glenn Beck
We could see by Monday, we could see a free Iran. Or you could see us being in a corner of. Are we going to protect the people of Iran from this regime from slaughtering them? I mean, this weekend is going to be. Just pray, spend a lot of time praying for peace and praying for the people of Iran. The Persian people are amazing. And if they could get that culture back and they could Be free. The, the source of good that Iran would be in the world would be remarkable. Remarkable. But we are be very, very, very, very careful. Thank you, Jason. I appreciate it. You can hear Jason while we go into commercials. If you're watching on glenn beck.com Jason gives you a ton of information. We have, we have added 50% more show to this show. If you're watching it only on glenn beck.com let me tell you about Legacy Box. Once upon a time, there was somebody in your family who held all the stories. They knew where the photos were. They knew what was in that old home movie. They remembered the names, the dates, the context. That all mattered. It used to be my grandmother that was like that. And somewhere along the way, that role got passed on. Now, the boxes maybe are your house. The tapes are your responsibility. The film reels, the cassettes, the home movies that don't have any way to be played anymore. And they're waiting on you. This is why Legacy Box exists. They take out all of that analog history and they carefully digitize it so your family stories don't stay trapped in that box or that format. And if they're trapped in that format, time is erasing them. This is not about looking back. It's making sure that those moments can move forward so your kids and grandkids and great grandkids can see it. Every family has a historian. Whether you planned on it or not, that person is you now. And this is how you can do the job right. Kick off the new year by rescuing your family's most cherished memories that haven't been watched or enjoyed in years and are fading every day by going to legacybox.com records.

- [83:02]
Stu
I'll go glaze.
- [83:03]
Glenn Beck
We're going with the. You know, I like my donuts to be the size of steering wheels. Like, this is the biggest donuts ever. We're going to go to the phones next. I have some stuff on Venezuela. We're going to lead with a phone call on Venezuela. And I have a theory that I want to pass by you on that and so much more. So your phone calls are next. 888, 727. Beck as we drive away in our donut steering Wheel car, 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. Hello, America. We're getting to your phone calls. We're going to talk about Venezuela. We're going to talk about the economy, what's happening in Minnesota, and whatever you want to talk about. We'll answer your questions and get your insight. 888-727. Beck in 60 seconds. First, burn a launcher. Most people don't avoid thinking about personal safety because they don't care. They avoid it because the options feel too big, too extreme. Or you just really think like it'll never happen until something happens and then you're. You're not prepared for it. This is why the Burner compact launcher is such a smart design, because it's easy to carry, it's easy to have. It does, does not have life and death consequences to it, at least on your end. They might, you know, be thinking about ending your life, but you'll stop them from doing that by hitting a kinetic round or, you know, tear gas, pepper gas. And it'll stop them in their tracks and put them on the ground for about 45 minutes. It is a responsible, easy way for you to protect yourself, your family and those around you. The compact launcher, it's thoughtful, acknowledges that most people aren't looking for drama or escalation, but to protect themselves and have a sense of security in the real world. It is legal in all 50 states. It doesn't require a permit anywhere. Anytime you can carry it with you. My kids have them in their backpacks. My wife carries one in a purse, glove box of the car. I carry one, you know, in the small amount. My back. It's a burner launcher. Burna. Maybe that's what my back problem is. I shouldn't have had that sewn into the small amount. Burna B Y R N A.com Glenn Berna.com Beck or Glenn try before you buy at Sportsman's Warehouse located near you. It's Burna.com Glenn let me go to Roxanne in Virginia. Hello, Roxanne.

Caller
Hey, brother Len. How are you?
- [86:24]
Glenn Beck
I'm great. How are you, Roxanne?
- [86:27]
Caller
I'm, I'm hopeful. That's all I can really be right now.
- [86:31]
Glenn Beck
Okay.
- [86:33]
Caller
I'm really grateful to have this chance to talk to you, my husband. I have listened to you for decades. You've been the light in the dark for us.
- [86:41]
Glenn Beck
Thank you.
- [86:42]
Caller
And I guess my biggest question for you is with everything that's happening over the last week or so.
- [86:49]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [86:49]
Caller
And you talk with Nick Shirley on your show about what's happening in Minnesota.
- [86:53]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [86:54]
Caller
I mean, there's a. There's a stirring out there. People not wanting to pay their taxes because of all this money that is ours, that's going to other people. And I'm not, you know, I'm not throwing out something here to anybody, but I'm just wondering if you have heard that if, you know, I could tell people to stop being ridiculous because blow up the country or. I mean, I understand it, Roxanne, if you.
- [87:25]
Glenn Beck
If you've listened to me as long as I think you have, you know that I'm. I've been trying to tell people to stop being ridiculous for quite some time. Look, here is. Here's the thing on taxes. You're absolutely right. It is very dangerous. Do pay your taxes. That is not the way to do it. But I understand how people feel. I have felt I pay, you know, my fair share in taxes, and it is my patriotic duty. And, oh, I. I whistle the Star Spangled Banner every, you know, April 15th. And then I fall to my knees and thank God that I could give my money to the United States government to waste it instead of allowing me to help feed people myself. But anyway, I understand the feeling because. And I really, I spent, you know, during vacation, I spent time watching, you know, Nick Shirley go door to door and find where all of these people are not sending their kids, but they're getting millions of doll. $700 million. We find out yesterday, $700 million in cash in suitcases going through the Minneapolis airport in the last 18 to 24 months. $700 million in cash. That's your money. And I cannot imagine. I just can't figure it out. How are people in Minneapolis and Minnesota not outraged, Outraged that, wait, you're taking money from me when I'm having a hard time feeding my children and affording groceries? And you're telling me, because it's in the Minnesota kind of ethos that we all want to help together. It's a very socialized kind of culture. And I get it. If that's what you want to do in your state, that's fine. You can do that in your state. But then to have somebody take money from you and then in that kind of scale and give it to people who are taking it, and not feeding children, not taking care of children while you're struggling, and then putting it in suitcases and putting it through the airport where the airport knows what's going on had to have reported it. And nothing happens. And you're not marching in the streets. You're not saying, I want people to be held responsible. Instead, you have a governor that is standing up and calling for civil war. Oh, my gosh. I just don't understand it. I spent. I spent the holiday watching Nick, and I'm thinking to myself, how are people not completely outraged by this? How are the people in Minnesota not just screaming for blood, screaming for justice, at least screaming for the investigations. Instead, they're standing up for the people that were ripping them off. It's. It's an amazing thing. But you must not be a part of chaos. I told you this back in the early 2000s. Chaos is going to be the operative word. And there are going to be people that are calling for chaos. And you have to ask yourself, everything that you do, everyone you're surrounded by, everything that you listen or consume or read or whatever, is this adding to chaos or is this bringing understanding and order? Because God is a God of order. Satan is the author of all chaos. And I'm sorry if you don't believe it. That's fine. You don't have to. But I do. I believe we are in a fight of good versus evil. And that doesn't mean politically, I don't say that Democrats are evil and the Republicans are good. I think sometimes the, you know, certain Republicans are evil, certain Republicans are good, certain Democrats are evil, and certain Democrats are good. It's an individual thing. It's how you as an individual choose. Unless you're only playing for a team, unless you're buying into the collective. It's interesting to me that the same people who say, you can't say everybody is evil on this side are the same ones that push for the collective, that you are responsible for all of the sins of maybe your great great grandparents, even if they were here during slavery, let alone those who are responsible for it and they weren't here during slavery. You're responsible because of the collective. But somehow or another, evil cannot be collective. Well, evil becomes collective when everybody checks their brain and their own I personal identity, their personal personality and their personal beliefs, and instead just makes it about ideology. That's when evil really takes root. And that's what we're fighting. We're not fighting the tax man. We're not fighting. We're fighting evil. And you have to be a part of order, not chaos. There's enough chaos in the world and you're seeing it right now. And you know, this Tim Walsh thing yesterday, when he was talking about two days ago. He talked about he's training the National Guard to stand up against federal agents. That is unconstitutional, as I said yesterday, in three different ways, and they're all red lines. Then yesterday he was talking about we're at civil war with our federal government. That's as bad as what was happening in the 1860s. That's a state saying, I reject the federal government. Now, if the federal government were breaking the laws, that would be one thing. You could make this case. But they're not. They are enforcing the law. And all he's trying to do is rally his Revolutionary Guard. And that's what we should start calling it. It's not activist, it's a Revolutionary Guard. They are trying to activate their Revolutionary Guard to create even more chaos, more death, quite frankly. And so don't be a part of that. But hear me clearly. I understand how you feel because I feel exactly the same way. Let me go to Bob in Florida. Hello, Bob.
- [94:14]
Ryan Morrow
Hello. With all of this fraud and corruption that we find going across the country.
- [94:19]
Caller
In these states and we have a.
- [94:23]
Ryan Morrow
Bureaucracy that is required to control the screening of the people receiving these grants at federal, state and local levels, why aren't these bureaucrats being arrested, flipped to turn over to get the people that are at the top of this pyramid? I just don't understand it.
- [94:46]
Glenn Beck
So I will agree with you again. And if that doesn't happen in short order, I will help you lead the band on that. Um, it does take a while for investigations and the state is thwarting all investigations. The people that are in charge are at high, high levels in those states. That's why the feds are being set in. And that is exactly why Tim Walsh is acting the way he is. Cuz honestly, that guy's going to jail. Um, or should go to jail. There's no way he didn't know about it. There's no way he didn't help enable it. And as I said in our number one, go back and listen to it at glenn beck.com if you missed it. Um, there's, you know, I know everybody on the left is very excited when you put white people and hold them accountable and put them in jail. There's a lot of white people and white collar people that should absolutely be in jail today. But let's watch the system work. If you don't start seeing these people go to jail, something's really wrong, Bob. And not at the state level, but also at the federal level and on our side of the ledger. If we can't get our DOJ to start prosecuting and putting people in jail, then that leads me to believe there are deeper problems. But before we go there, let's see the system work on this. Thank you so much for your phone call, but lots of people should go to jail and need to go to jail or we're done. We're just done as a country. I mean, you can't, you just can't take billions of dollars and, and give them away to foreign countries and give them away to your friends in your political party and expect to be a country very long. You're not. Laurie, New Mexico, welcome.
- [96:39]
Caller
Hi, Glenn. Thank you for taking my call. I am right there with you. I am worried that we're going to have a Bubba effect on the left side because the Bubba effect on the right side is going to overtake the left because, you know, they throw, they throw candle it cocktails and everything. We have AR15s and that's what I'm afraid of. I don't want a civil war. I don't, I want a national divorce. And there's a difference because it comes to trace any humility and said, hey, we just can't get along. But I honestly, yes, Jamal has to go to jail. He has to go to jail. And the fact that the Democrats put him up as against JD Vance, of all people is disgusting to me. Yeah, Absolutely disgusting to me.
- [97:27]
Glenn Beck
So, Laurie, I want to, I, and I keep saying this kind of thing over and over again. So let me, let me reiterate something I said yesterday when I was talking about how Donald Trump came out and said we've got to have new law that shows that corporations cannot buy housing in bulk. I cheered for that because I, I feel the same way everybody else does. This is a huge problem. But the solution is not to say this group cannot buy housing. Just like Mom Donnie said, whites are going to have a different relationship with private property. You can't do that in America and remain free. So it's not the solution. But thank God somebody is actually recognizing the problem and starting to say we need to find a solution for this and we have to find a solution and execute on that solution. Because it's just getting, it's getting worse and worse and they're all just starting to stack up. Everybody knows what the problem is. Is anybody going to do anything about it? But I want to make sure that when I say national divorce is not the solution, I want to make sure that you hear me clearly. I agree with how you feel. I feel it as well, it's not. We are never going to hold our country together if we don't start recognizing truths, even if they are the truth of how people feel. And I don't know how you don't feel this way. I. You, you could so easily talk me into. You know what? I said this years ago. Why don't we just say this? You go first, but you're, you're keeping. We get Texas and you get California. We start there. Now let's flip a coin. Who picks next? And we just divide up the states and you take half. We'll take half. I mean, I would, you could, you could talk me into that if. You know, at least in feeling and in theory. We cannot have a national divorce. We don't want a national divorce. It may come down to that, but that is a civil war because it's never going to, it's never going to end up. What will happen is you'll Balkanize the country and then we'll just be at war with each other as states. It's, it's very bad you lose the country if we have a national divorce. But I don't know how to get us back together other than a purging of not people, but the ideology. We've got to understand. This ideology of Islamism and Marxism is poison for the Western culture. The Western way of life. It is poison and we cannot tolerate it. You know, you, you cannot say, I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. If you believe Sharia law is the answer. If you believe that Marxism and the state being able to take private property and tell who can buy and who can't, that's incompatible. Incompatible. You cannot have both. So we have to stop accepting that. Oh yeah, you can be in Congress and you believe that the state should own all the property. No, you can't. Because you can't defend and protect the Constitution because you don't believe in it. And it's clear you can say whatever you want, but your actions and what you say you believe do not fit with the Constitution. You should not be teaching our children in a state run school that's receiving state funds, my tax dollars. If you are preaching that America should be dissolved because it's always been evil and we should, we should have the state run property, run all of the businesses. Sorry, that's not who we are. And you will destroy Western civilization. And that's honestly. We're not fighting for the country anymore. It's much bigger than that. What's at stake is Western civilization. So we have to understand what that is. And when you boil it down, it's Judeo Christian values. And I think it is wildly important that we state it that way. I'll explain more in 60 seconds. First, every month money leaves your bank account and goes off to do things on your behalf. It pays bills, it keeps services running in a lot of cases. And it goes to places you never really would follow, doing things you don't agree with. Your cell phone bill is a perfect example. It feels neutral, technical, boring. It just is a utility. It's a relationship, blah, blah, blah. But your it's your money is going there and doing stuff you don't want it to do, like helping pay for abortions. If you're with Verizon, they send money every month to, or at least I don't know how many months a year they do it. But they support Planned Parenthood, not me. Patriot Mobile doesn't either. Patriot Mobile exists for people who finally decide to check the fine print on their own lives. They offer reliable nationwide coverage on the same major networks with a company that's not embarrassed by where it stands or who it stands with. You don't have to trade performance for principles.

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

Hey, guys.

Glenn Beck
Hey.

Ryan Morrow
I just told him about Venezuelan and you know, getting the Chinese out of there. And I agree with all that. The one comment I have though is I live here in Utah and just her miles from my house. Smithfield Foods went out of business called the Hog Farm down and the Chinese came in and bought that. And it's thousands and thousands of acres and it's the groundwater, it's everything. How come we're not focused on getting them out of our own country, including Van Sway, you know, get them out of that sway as well. But they're right here in our own country.
- [107:40]
Glenn Beck
That'd be something I would ask your so ever lovable governor. But also it should be for the federal government. But you know, there's some things that our states need to step up and do themselves. Even in Texas, we have this problem. Up in the Northeast, in New England, it is really bad what's going on with the Chinese buying up property. And we are, we're, we're allowing them to buy property all around some of our biggest bases in America as well. This is, this has got to stop and stop now. And the federal government should be doing it. But if the federal government's not doing it, our states should be leading the charge as well. When it comes to Venezuela, though, I, you know, I want to, I want to urge people to start and I don't think you're doing this at all, Clint, but there I do hear people give us these false either ors. You know, we should be doing this, not that. No, we should be doing both of those things. And we need more than one person leading the charge. That's why I encourage. You need to encourage your states get off your ass and do something. Because we're losing our country and we're losing the Western way of life, the Western world. So it all hands on deck on this. But let me give you the case on Venezuela and why and what people really need to understand. You know, there are two ways to fight. And both, both fronts should be fought. Cause you knock them out when your states are stepping up or somebody else in the federal government steps up and Congress decides to do their job and they pass a law that says if you're from China, you're not buying, you're not buying anything anymore. No land, no land can be sold to the Chinese. Anybody who is a Chinese business or anything else. Nope, not happening. But when you look at the strategy that I think Donald Trump is using in Venezuela, you know, you look at what, what is Venezuela, what is the problems coming from Venezuela? They are a source of deep Marxism also. They are their training camps. They have an island. We've told you about it for the last couple of years. They have an island that is a training camp for Marxists and also Islamists. You have this training camp where Hezbollah actually comes and trains people there in Venezuela. Where do those people go? Well, they go back to Iran for more training, and then they come back. And then where do they go? Most likely with us. You also have the drugs and the cartels and the human trafficking. You have China and Russia and Iran deeply involved in Venezuela. They have basically set Up a base in Central America and South America there's bases, you know, Panama Canal is one of them. We just allowed China just to take the mouth and the butt end of the panic Panama Canal and control that damn thing and then buy property all up and down, down the Panama Canal. Really bad idea. If you can shut down Venezuela, you start changing things. If you kick them out and you take the oil industry away and you say no, you're not going to sell oil to China, to Russia, to any of our, any of our, our enemies in the world. That cripples China. And this is why this is so important. By controlling the oil in Venezuela, you are crippling China. That takes about 70% of all oil from Venezuela and uses it. That cripples them on power. It cripples them on any of their industry, any of their shipping. They need to have oil just as much as everybody else does. They buy a great share of that from Venezuela. The other great share that they get is from Russia and Iran. If you're now shutting down Iran, if Iran can topple this weekend, you have so degraded the power of China, they're not going to go into Taiwan. They won't have the energy to be able to go into Taiwan. You're going to slow them down on all fronts. Plus Venezuela, you don't have to dig the gold out of the ground in Venezuela, but they have huge gold reserves still in the ground in the mountains of Venezuela. By taking that out of the China or the, the BRICS column, by taking all of that mountain of gold away from them, that hurts them and slows them down at least from coming up with a currency that is a gold backed currency that can knock the United States currency out of a leadership position which again helps save our country by crippling them financially. They don't have the money to buy up land here as well, to send people for training here. You are fighting the WEF fight and you're fighting the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative right there. And if you can do that, that they don't have the money to send people in and send all that money to our universities to buy up land to put terror on our own streets. The Marxist movements that are currently being funded here in America. A lot of that is happening in our own country because they're sending all this money. It's China, it's Iran and it is Russia that is doing most of this. We got to find a way to cripple them. So don't make it either or we shouldn't. And you weren't doing this, but we shouldn't be doing. Why are we doing this in Venezuela when we should be concentrating on this? We should be doing both. We need more than one person coming up with these things and doing it. If Donald Trump dropped dead tomorrow, who's leading this? We need other people in states. You should be saying to your governor, governor, why are you letting this happen in our own state? We go to Minneapolis and Minnesota. Why aren't you at the governor's doorstep right now saying, how did you let this happen? Why is he the only one that's not responsible for the biggest embezzlement or the biggest ripoff in possibly American history, but certainly the history of that state? How is he not being held responsible? How is no one lost their jobs? Why is no one going to jail? Because everybody is saying, well, Donald Trump will do it. Welcome. Donald Trump's not do it. Where are you? Where are you in your own state? Where is your governor? Where is your attorney general? Where is anyone else? Uh, let me go to Jen in North Carolina. Hi, Jen.

Caller
Thank you, Brother Beck. I'm. Thank you for all your honesty over these years. I mean, I've been listening to you since 2002.
- [114:58]
Glenn Beck
Wow.
- [114:59]
Caller
Holy smokes. I am really, really trying to live in Thanksgiving every day. A few days ago, you were speaking about acquiring real property, and my husband and I are dual military and the army Navy game is awesome because of that dual military. But we are trying, we are really trying to find farmland. And retirement's coming soon.
- [115:26]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [115:27]
Caller
And we've been looking across four states.
- [115:30]
Glenn Beck
Let me, let me see if I can predict your problem. It's really expensive because the Bill Gates and the corporations of the world are.
- [115:39]
Caller
Buying it all up and they're driving the prices up and we can't even get our foot in the door.
- [115:46]
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
- [115:46]
Caller
And I do not want to be a complainer. I want to be wise. And I want a game planned. But this is starting to feel too fomo and I just need a little pick me up. I know that we'll, we will walk through with our heavenly Father, but I just need a little pick me up. And what can we do?
- [116:12]
Glenn Beck
Well, you keep, you keep looking. You don't give up. And you also, again, encourage others to see the problem. You know, this is why I said yesterday and I just said it a few minutes ago, when it comes to this thing about corporations not being able to buy property, I celebrated when he said that I don't agree with the solution. But, but at least we're having this conversation. And, you know, we need to. Instead of just saying, you can't do that, well, let's be part of the solution. What can we do? And if the federal government won't do it again, why aren't your states. There has to be states. I mean, I'm. I'm so impressed with DeSantis and the way he has run Florida and the balls that this guy has to take on things that everybody said were untouchable. He has totally transformed. And even, you know, towards the end here, he's still trying to get a property tax abolished, and he's doing it in such a way where it's all being passed into law, so it'll take a lot to undo them. Where are the other people? Are there. No. Is. Are there really, seriously, that few governors that love their country? Because I don't believe this. That love their country, that want to save the Western world, to save our way of life, to save the people of their own states from being overrun by giant corporations? Really, there's nobody. I believe there are tons of patriots who are there. There are tons. I know many of your state legislators and senators because I meet with them all over the country. I believe there are tons of those people. What we have a lack of is courage. We have a lack of people in political positions that, especially in governors that have the courage to stand up and say, we're not doing that. I'm sorry, vote me out. But we're not doing it. We have to have people who are willing to lose everything. You know, and it's hard. It's really hard. When I announced what I was doing a year ago to my staff and to everybody in my life, everybody's like, glenn, what. What are you doing? Why? Why would you do that? Why? You could lose everything. You're. You're putting everything. At this point in your life, you're going to put everything at risk, and you're going to do that. Why? Why would you do that? That. Because I think it's the right thing to do, and I think it's the right thing for me to do, and I don't really care. I don't care if. If. As long as I am prayerfully looking at everything, as long as I am using reason, logic, and I'm doing my own homework, it may not work out the way I wanted it to work out, but I'm old enough in my life to see that even my failures have turned into success. And maybe not financial, but it has turned into success and led me to where I've needed To be. And so when you start looking at the world that way, courage changes. It changes because you're not. It's not this or that. It's. I know it's all going to be fine. And I'm going to be exactly where I'm supposed to be in life, learning the lessons I'm supposed to learn in life because I'm not here to be successful. I didn't, I wasn't born to be successful and to, and to have all the money that I wanted and live the way I want or whatever. That's not why I was born. I was born to live, to live a good life, to learn, to work hard, to learn important eternal lessons and help others. Learn important. My children, number one. To help them so we as people, and me as an individual soul can grow. When you start looking at things that way, courage changes. You still might be afraid. I mean, you know, especially after Charlie Kirk died, were there times that I was very nervous about going on stage someplace? You damn right I was. But I knew everything was going to work out. Even if that means the worst. It's all going to be fine. It's all going to be fine. Our politicians need to start, we need to start voting people in who understand what courage is. And what courage is is just doing the next right thing because, you know, no matter what happens to you, it's going to be okay. So when you get into office, we need to start voting for people to go, look, this is just the way it is. We have to do these things. They are constitution constitutional. I've mapped it all out and I'm not going to surrender. And if that means they shoot me, if that means I lose the next election, if that means I lose everything, fine, so be it. I was born to do what I am supposed to do. And I am born to grow and to help others grow. And at this point, Western civilization is up for grabs and I'm not going to stand around and worry about me over that. 888-727-BECK. One last segment in just a second. First rapid radios. Human communication is a miracle right up until the moment you, you know, you know you need it to work immediately. And then all the little delays start mattering. There's a lag, there's a drop call, there's a text that doesn't get read until it's a little too late to be useful or there's just times when it just doesn't work. We up at the ranch don't have, we don't have cell service and because of that, sometimes we get into trouble. I was telling a story the other day about Caesar who works for me. He was up and he was up in the mountains and he took the Forerunner and it's very, very mountainous and, and he didn't. I don't know how it happened, but he wasn't really paying attention. And he drove right off the side of this cliff. He ended up in the Forerunner, upside down in the top of a tree. Suddenly, you know, we didn't hear from him for a while. We're like, where's Caesar? We set out to look for him. We find him in the tree. Rapid Radios can help with. That's why we have Rapid Radios now, because we can hear it. Communication. We don't need to worry about cell phones. It's Rapid Radios.com. rapid Radios.com.com. go there now. Communication redefined. Your feed's full of noise. Your town's full of folks who'd help you move a fridge. Don't lose touch.

One of the most frustrating parts about trying to lose weight is realizing how often the progress doesn't stick. You can do everything right for a few weeks and maybe even see the scale move a little bit. And then you watch it creep back, right? Even though your habits haven't changed much. Maybe it was like the donuts that were brought in inexplicably today.
- [123:45]
Glenn Beck
Oh nuts.
- [123:46]
Stu
Oh nuts. Metabolism is really what makes the difference here. And if your body isn't handling blood sugar well or isn't efficient at using stored fat or energy, weight loss becomes a constant uphill push instead of something you can maintain. Lean was developed to support those underlying processes. It's a non prescription doctor developed supplement designed to help maintain healthy blood sugar and manage appetite and cravings. And encourage your body to burn that stored fat and convert it into available energy. That system is working better. Weight loss is less about forcing results and more about allowing your body to do what it is capable of doing. Lean isn't an injection and isn't meant to replace better eating or movement. It's designed to work alongside those efforts, especially for people who feel like they've already made responsible changes but aren't seeing the results they want. If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and keep it off, add lean to your diet and exercise lifestyle. Get 20% off when you enter Blaze.
