The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Glenn Beck is our hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. It is Wednesday the 7th of January in the year 2026 that is going to be remembered as a year the entire world changed. I absolutely believe 26 and 27 are monumental and will decide, and I think it's being seen right now. Is America an empire in decline? I want to talk to you about Iran, North Korea, Greenland, the arsenal of democracy, what's happening in New York with Mamdani and Krink. I'm going to start with a term or an acronym you probably have not heard before. But it is what is being dismantled or attempting to be dismantled by this administration right now. Krink, we'll go there in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about rapid radios. Out on the ranch. You learn pretty quick, you know, regular phones, not really a solid plan. There are dead zones. There are moments when you don't, you know, have time to dig a phone out of your pocket and just hope you have a signal. In fact, we don't have signals up at the ranch. That's why we use rapid radios. They just work. No apps, no cell service, no waiting for a bar to pop up. You press a button and you're talking instantly, whether you're checking fences, moving, equip. You know, I actually had one of the guys that works at the ranch, he went off a cliff accidentally and his forerunner was upside down in the top of a tree. That was an interesting thing because he couldn't get down and we finally were like, where's Caesar? We found him in the top of a tree with the Forerunner, but he had no cell service, nothing. Rapid radios would have come in handy. We have them now at the ranch. Rapidradios.com Go there now, secure your exclusive savings and elevate your Business Communication. It's Rapid Radios.com. rapidradios.com Communication Redefine. Well, let me. I don't even know where to start. I have so much I can't wait to explain to you today. You know, I've been on this, this, this hunt I feel since over the weekend with Venezuela. And it's all starting just to fall into place. You know, one of the only skills I think God gave me was the completely useless, you know, when the world breaks down, storytelling ability that's going to get me eaten by week one. They're like, he's out of stories and he looks delicious. The, the other thing that I do have an ability to do is connect the dots. And I've been on this dot connecting kick here in the last few days and more dots seem to be appearing and I am. It's becoming very clear that America and empire in decline is not a thing. And I want to take several layers of this, but I want to start with an acronym that you've probably never heard before. Crink. CR I N K Crink. What does it stand for? It is what we would call the Axis power. And I have been talking about we're watching an axis power being created. I've been saying that forever. Look at the sides are being defined, the Axis power. And it's China, C, Russia are Iran I and North Korea. Crink. That's the Axis power. And I've been saying, where's Churchill? Where's anybody who, you know, where, where's the allied power? Because NATO, that's not a power. That's not, that's not gonna come in helpful at all. It, it felt like the ent. In decline. And it's because we've been talking about decline. We're in decline. Or are we? We elected Donald Trump because we were tired of this and we're tired of these endless wars and everything else. And Donald Trump had a vision and he tried to tell me this, you know, for the year leading up to the election. Glenn, I got it. I got it. You won't believe how fast we're going to, we're going to change everything and we're going to have a new American century, but it's going to happen. It's going to happen. Quickly. And I didn't understand it. I think I'm just beginning to understand it. We're not. He's not building an American empire. He is building something that I think is much closer to what we were hoping for or thought was going to be built in the 1990s. When we talked about a unipolar moment, you know, that. That America was going to lead, but everybody was going to get together because we're all free now. And, you know, we had these hopes of lollipops and sugar plums and everything was going to be great because we won. And if that's the science is settled. And we didn't realize that communism just changed uniforms and we were entering this really very dangerous world because we would get fat and sassy and lazy. Donald Trump is changing and building a new allied power. And I told you a couple of days ago, and I think, you know, we need to really think this through. I think he's given up on Europe, and I think he should give up on Europe, honestly. I mean, they can come to the table anytime. They can change their destiny, and I'd love for them to join, but until they decide they want to survive, they're over. So let me just take you through the things that are happening, and I want to get to Iran and I want to get to Greenland. But let me explain first the power that he is building, what he's building here. Let's start where he started. In the Middle east. We have gone from endless wars to a loosely, you know, US Anchored block. We're no longer walking in and saying, we're gonna do it. We're gonna nation build. Instead, he's saying, you know what? This doesn't work. And we'd love to help broker a deal between all of you guys. And, you know, look what you can build. And let me help you with the framework so you can all get along. For 20 years, it feels like America. Longer than that, the story of the Middle east was Americans go in, Americans retreat, and Iranians advance. Right then in the first term, he came with the Abraham Accords and Israel normalized with the UAE and Bahrain and Morocco. And now everybody is. Now it seems like everybody is normalizing relations. And the entire. He has taken the entire Middle east, which was available to all of the presidents in the past, but they didn't do it for some reason or didn't get it. They all don't want Iran. They know Iran is dangerous. He just took them all and went, yeah, you guys should all get together, because you can actually be A global power and influence, but not with Iran. And so he normalized the relations between them. And it, it wasn't just a series of photo ops for him. It was, he took the US and aligned the economic and security architecture for everybody. Israel, the Gulf, potentially Saudi Arabia and the US but we are not the ones doing it. We're not the ones that are fighting everybody's battles. That's really important. Now, layer on top of that, the Israelis and Iran went to war. And the only thing that we did was we destroyed their nuclear capability. The other thing we did with Iran, which we didn't have no boots on the ground, nobody's no soldiers, no airmen, you know, at risk here. We just stopped sending them pallets of cash. Now what is happening in Iran? Iran is facing the worst economic crisis in modern history. Inflation is now at 52% for this last year. And the real, which is their dollar, if you will, is now 1.47 million rials to one US dollar. The average Iranian is making $200 a month. You can go in with a US dollar and buy bread for 36 cents. That seems cheap for US dollars, but if you're buying everything in reals, that's 500,000 reals, and you're making $200, your rent is more than $200. They can't feed themselves, they can't heat their house, they can't do anything. It's almost a free fall. And it's almost Weimar Republic status. Okay? So everyone is consumed with just surviving. You know, when you have fear, when you have oppression, that's bad. And that'll get people into the streets. But when they cannot survive, they can't eat. That changes everything. And the axis of resistance, that's Hezbollah, Hamas, the Iraqi militias, the Houthis, all of that. They can't afford to keep all of that together. But they're bringing, now the regime is bringing these people in. They are Arab. The vast majority of people that live in Iran are Persian. Persians are very different than Arabs. They have Arabs now coming in to be the brute force. That's not going to go well. Now, this doesn't immediately create peace, but it is shifting the momentum. So I'm going to come back to Iran here in a minute, but let me just show you now. So you have Israel plus the Sunni Arabs. Iran is weakened, distracted. Russia, China, what's happening there, and North Korea. Let me show you what this means with just North Korea and all of this with crink. He's just dismantling these people. It's Amazing what's happening so fast. Second point, energy. What has been our biggest problem? Why are we always in these wars? And they always say, well, it's in the American interest, why oil? Right? That's been the big argument. Oil, oil, oil. And anybody who is a conservative, you know, or, or just common sense and doesn't think that oil is the big worst thing that could ever happen. We've all been saying, we have enough oil. Why are we buying our oil from the Middle East? We have enough, okay? Now we need much more because there's and coming energy crisis the world over. But we have had this addiction to oil and it has been our biggest weakness because everybody can use it against us. We can have, you know, shortages of oil. They can cut us off. We're constantly having to go to war for oil. Although we never go to war for oil. We all know we all went to war for oil, okay? Trump came in and said enough of this and applied common sense. We're not going to fight over oil anymore. We've got our own oil. But what did he do? He is now making deals all over the world to make sure that we're controlled like OPEC used to control the world's oil. Our hemisphere is going to control the Western world's energy. Not opec, us. That is part of what I called the, what did I say that it was yesterday? The shoot. The, the arsenal of democracy. Okay? We are preparing for war. Whether we like it or not, we are preparing for a massive war. Hopefully because we're preparing for it, it will never happen. But we are now not the vulnerable importer. We are now the stable producer and the one who is shepherding all of the oil. Did you hear what happened just a couple of hours ago? We have been following this tanker that has been Russian flagged. Okay? Once you flag a ship, then if you flag it Russia, then the Russian navy can get involved because that's a Russian flag ship, even though it doesn't belong to Russia. We have been following the ship and trying to stop this oil tanker from bringing oil that should not be going overseas from Venezuela. And we have been trying to track it down. Well, about few hours ago, maybe five hours ago, we caught up with it. Now Russia was sending ships to protect this because it was a Russian flagship. What happened? Our navy just pulled up to it and boarded it. And that ship is now where it belongs. It's impounded. It was never supposed to be taking oil. It was against international law, we had an embargo on it, et cetera, et Cetera. Well, we caught up with it. So we are very, very serious about this. And because of the way Venezuela just happened, American credibility on the war front there, the rest of the world, our enemies, are freaking out right now because even people who are in the military, I shouldn't say in the military, I'm sure they know more. But people who have been watching the military, former military, people that know about the military, even, they are looking at it going, how the hell did we just pull this off with Venezuela? What do we. What do we. How did we beat that? That's. That's Russian, That's China. That. That's the best technology or some of the best technology that is. That is able to be sold out of those countries. And we shut it down like it was a baby gate. How. How did we do that? We don't know. Do we have new technology, or are they just that bad right now? The rest of the world realizes, holy cow. Militarily, America is not a declining power. It is way ahead of where we are and where we thought they were. So that they're just. That alone is changing the dynamics. You don't have to exercise that power if everyone knows you have that power, and everybody goes, you don't want to mess with them. Power comes strength, peace through strength. That is now a proven part of it. And if you look at the pieces that are on the board, I think Cuba is going to. I think in the next year, Cuba will collapse, because where is Cuba? Cuba can't get any money from Russia. They don't. They don't have it. They don't have it. They're busy and tied up in Ukraine. They were supporting. They started cutting Cuba off. Cuba needs the money because communism doesn't work. And so they needed the money. So where did they go? They went to Venezuela, and they were getting oil and support from Venezuela, and they were providing other things for Venezuela. Well, you just took Venezuela away, so what's Cuba gonna do? Where's. Where's Cuba? What is China gonna do without all of the energy? You can't invade Taiwan without all of that oil. Can't do it. All right, let me continue and show you the world that he is creating. And then I want to bring you up to speed on what happened in Iran, because this is something we have not had a chance to go in depth on. And it's really important because it's not being collapsed by us. I mean, it is, but in all the right ways. We're not sending them pallets of cash anymore. So what does that mean brings us back to Krink. And I want to show you why this has happened in the last 18. It's 12 months. I keep thinking that it's been longer than it is. It's, it's, we're not even at the 12 month point yet. And look how the world is changing. Crazy change more in just a second. Let me tell you about Legacy Box. Tell me you don't own a box like this one. Old VHS tapes, you know, from a camcorder. You don't own any more. Stacks of cassettes and films and reels and you know, these cassettes, these video cassettes that you don't even know what that used to play in or how that was even recorded. And it's just sitting there in this box and it's wearing down with time. And then, you know, time will sneak up on you and you know, memories aren't frozen and you know, magnetic tape breaks down, film degrades and eventually if you wait long enough, they're just, they're dust because you didn't care and you stored them improperly, etc. Etc. But they just weren't made to last. And that's including pictures. Legacy Box is the way to make sure that all of that is digitized. You are the archivist for your own family. If you probably care more about the history of your family than some other people in your family, you have to take control of this. And the way to do it is by kicking off the New Year's the right way and rescuing your family's most cherished memories that haven't been watched or enjoyed in years.

Okay, I'm going to get to Iran here in a second and tell you what's going on and what to watch for. But let me just tell you another thing that he has done. He's building, he's, he's building a new era. He is building an American, a new American century. And it's, it's happening so fast. The other thing that he's done and he's doing it the right way, he is negotiating and making these partners all around the world so we can protect ourselves and our way of life and the Western civilization. Honestly, he's pushed $10 billion in critical mineral deals across multiple countries just in the last 12 months. So China has a monopoly on refining. They, I mean they had all of the rare earth minerals they had all the cobalt. They had everything. Notice they don't. And why? Because he's been going around the world making deals through pressure and good deal making, you know, one way or another, he'll get it. He's developing this axis, or, sorry, allied power, and we're getting all of the resources we need. And I haven't even told you about the dollar and gold yet. Wait until you hear this. Save the dollar. I think he's on that road. All right, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust most people, you know, don't really know how to evaluate real estate agents.
