Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We are in a tough, tough battle. We have a tough negotiator and just like if you've ever been in the room when somebody's really negotiating hard and you're like God, I don't know if I would have said at that you trust the lead negotiator to know what he's doing. So we're going to talk about the economy, the tariffs and by the way, Elon Musk came out over the weekend and said we're cutting $4 billion a day every day in the next year. We've already. Joe's has already reduced the deficit by $1 trillion. One trillion has been cut we're what? Keep going, Elon Musk, and I'll explain why in just a second. First, let me tell you about rough greens.

The clock is ticking now, and I think everybody's very well aware of that ticking clock. And it's happening faster than people realize. There is a freight train that is barreling down the tracks, and we are standing right in its path. And we're debating whether the track should be made of steel or recycled materials. I don't think that's what we should be talking about. The train doesn't care. It's coming either way. You, however, because you are paying attention, you can get off the tracks and warn others as well. To the game that's being played now at a global level. We have to move, but we must not blink. Let's start with tariffs here. I'm gonna cover a lot of things this hour, but tariffs, they're really big deal. But Canada, this isn't about you, okay? It's not about Mexico. It's not about Panama. It's about security. It's about drug runners. It's about our borders. It's about making America strong again. It's honestly about the US and the end of the structure that was set up post World War II. That's what it is now. The left and economic experts will now tell you you can't do that. But that's what they've been doing. They've been dismantling the economic structure of post World War II. Right. I mean, they say, can't continue like this. It's going to collapse. That's why we need a great reset. Except they want the great reset to go to a bigger global system. Donald Trump says no, it needs to be America first, just as Canada, the eu, Mexico and the rest should do the same for their countries. The United States, and quite honestly, the entire Western world, and I think the Eastern world as well, is at the precipice of an economic, political and societal reckoning unlike anything the world has faced since maybe the Great Depression. And in some ways, it's worse, because this time, it's not just about economics. It's about trust. It's about trust in our institutions, trust in our leaders, and even trust in one another. And that's what makes this moment so dangerous. President Trump is walking into a storm, perhaps running head, headfirst right into it, with a task that borders on the impossible. Think of this. He's got to be right. Not most of the time, not right. On balance, he has to be right almost every time. Every policy, every decision, every negotiation, he's got to be right. It has to be in the right order, the right timing and the right execution. And we must not blink as he negotiates, because here's the. Here's the truth. We are out of margin for error. Its pilots would say, we're out of Runway. We have no more Runway. It's either get this plane up or crash. Now, imagine trying to defuse a bomb with shaky hands after somebody else set the timer and booby trapped all of the wiring. That's exactly what we're dealing with. However, for anyone who's beginning to shrink because of the shrieks of Justin Trudeau and make you question what Trump is doing with tariffs. Look who came to the negotiating table this weekend. Panama. What? I thought they were going to fight to the bitter end. No, they're returning the control of the Panama Canal to us. We don't own it, but they're kicking China out. That's what he wanted. So, for the first time, America, you need to understand, first time since Ronald Reagan, at least, that we've had a president who knows what the truth is and knows how to get it justice. Reagan said that's an evil empire of communism. Our number one enemy. Trump is declaring globalism our number one enemy and returning jobs in manufacturing back to America. That's what's happening. That's what he's doing. You see, we have to grow our way out of this debt. It's not enough just to cut, we also have to grow. Our Debt is over $34 trillion and climbing. Our annual deficit is over 1.7 trillion. The interest on our debt alone is $1 trillion a year. Just the interest. That's more than we spend on national defense. It's going to surpass what we spend on Social Security. And once that happens, the math doesn't work and it collapses under its own weight. And that will happen because almost all of the debt accrued under Biden were written as short term loans. A lot of it comes back up to be reloaned and remortgaged this next 18 months. Now, because Biden was such a good negotiator, we're going to have to negotiate under higher interest rates. Oh, this is why we don't have a choice. Just this one fact, if not dealt with quickly, will kill us. The Federal Reserve, our so called economic firefighter, is out of water. In fact, I think they've been an arsonist for a long time. Interest rates are already high, inflation is sticky. Quantitative easing them, magic trick that they told us would work for over a decade is no longer even an option. The Fed printed $8 trillion in the last 15 years. And what did we get? What did we get? Did we get new companies, new manufacturing, new jobs everywhere? No, we got asset bubbles, distorted markets and the illusion of prosperity for us as the uber rich and large corporations along with the banks, just got much, much, much richer. The illusion is finally fading. Reality is setting in. There's going to be a great reset. Most likely it'll be on Wall Street. And just when we thought it couldn't get more complicated, here comes artificial intelligence and artificial super intelligence reshaping the entire world. What will feel like overnight? Millions of jobs are going to be obsolete now. Will there be new ones? Probably. They usually come. Are they going to come fast enough? No, there's going to be pain. We've talked about that for 15 years. See, everything that we've ever talked about that ended with somebody, usually a president, saying, and at that point there will be no good options. We're here, that's where we are. And the economy isn't. It's not a machine you can just reboot. It's more like an ecosystem. And we've been poisoning it now for decades. So how do you fix this? How do you pull a nation back from the brink? When it's addicted to easy money and cheap credit and government handouts. Well, you start by telling the truth. And that's what Donald Trump has been saying. We screwed ourselves and we've been screwed by every other nation and including ourselves, mainly ourselves. Look, we're broke. Yes, if the world were a neighborhood, we'd be the one that had the biggest house, the nicest cars. We might even have a fleet of jets. But what the neighbors now know is that everything in our house, including our house, was purchased on loan and our income can no longer service the just the interest on the loan. Everybody knows ex, it seems, except perhaps the family inside of the house with the fancy gates. That would be us. This is why the $1 trillion cuts, $4 billion a day that Elon Musk announced over the weekend is a really big deal. But it cannot be the end. It has to be the beginning. Because we can't afford to be the world's babysitter or policeman anymore. We can't keep writing blank checks to fore while our own people are in real danger. It's really easy. We as a nation, as a nation need to downsize. That's it. We need to look at our government and say it's far too big. We need cuts. And the most important thing is a new mindset. The post World War II order is over. That system where America props up the global economy, defends half the planet, underwrites everybody else's welfare state. It's over. It's dead. Why? Why are we still living under trade laws that were written right after World War II to help rebuild the European and German car companies? I think Mercedes is okay. I think they'll make it without us. It's been dead for this. This thing has been. This thing has been on life support for decades and it's been dead for at least two decades, maybe three. We just haven't had the funeral yet and we need to. Countries like Panama are already beginning at the negotiating table. Why? Why? Donald Trump is playing a serious game. He is a serious negotiator. We still hold sway in that neighborhood even though everybody knows we're broke. It's our security team that protects the entire neighborhood. If we stop, they'll need to spend money, money they don't have or at least haven't been willing to spend. So, yeah, you like our jets? You like our protection? You like the world order? Yeah, you're going to have to pay for some of it because we're done. And the world is feeling the shift. And the ones who are really against it were the ones that were designing a new global community, not a local community. The tariffs, the economic pressure, it's not just about money. It's about leverage. For the first time in generations, we're forcing other nations to stand on their own two feet. We're telling them, look, we have standards. We have a border. And you cannot allow China to come in, make all that fentanyl right under your nose, and then ship it across our border with drug cartels. And if you can't control them, we're gonna push you first 25% tariff. And if you can't control them, then we're gonna take care of those drug cartels ourself because they're killing people here in America and Canada. I'm sorry. It's not about you. We're good friends. We are. But you have problems as well. You need to look at Canada first. We've all built our economies on the illusion that we could have it all without paying the price. BRICS is building an alternative to the US dollar as a global reserve currency. Which is not a conspiracy theory. It's happening. China, Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa. They're betting against us. And Canada is beginning to say they'll join Panama and others to stand against us, too. Fine. Bet on America's best days are behind us. But no, they're not. They're hedging their future against the collapse of the dollar. That's fine if they're right. If the dollar loses its status as the world reserve currency, then our standard of living will collapse almost overnight. But it's going to anyway if we don't act boldly. Now, here's the thing. It's not just about economics. It's also about character. We've been living in a fantasy too long, believing economic magic tricks can print wealth out of thin air. Or we could borrow it forever without any consequence. That's not how reality works. Reality has rules. And if you break them, you pay the price. And we're not the only ones that broke all those rules. Every country in the west did. We're just the first now under Donald Trump to say, okay, we're out of that game. Cuts are coming. Deep cuts. Cuts that will make people scream. Cuts to programs that you think are sacred. Cuts to programs that I think are sacred. Because if everything is sacred, then nothing is sacred. We've treated government spending like an all you can eat buffet. But the bill is now due. And guess what? There's no such thing as a free lunch. And in fact, every item we Ate had a very high price. It's easy to say cut the waste, but the truth is, the waste isn't enough. Even if you eliminated every dollar of fraud, waste and abuse, it wouldn't fix the problem. Because the problem is us. It's our expectations, our unwillingness to make sacrifices, our unwillingness to do it ourselves and force others to do it themselves. Every generation before us has faced hard times. Wars, depression, pandemics. They rose to the occasion. The history books are just wondering, which direction am I going to write this in? Will we stand up? Because a lot of tough things are coming. A lot of tough things. But here's the hope. We still choose how this story ends. We face the truth now while we still have some options. We can tighten our belts, make the cuts, rebuild our economy on solid ground. It's going to be painful. Painful here and painful for other countries. But pain's not the enemy. Complacency is more in just a second. First, let me tell you about Jace Medical. It's an unpredictable world out there. I'm sure you've noticed that if you've been around much at all. And sickness.

He's not a lawyer. He's not a politician. He's a businessman. So he knows how the economy works. He's the best negotiator I've ever seen. And over the last eight years, he has earned at least my trust and respect. I don't follow him blindly, nor should you. I worry about the effects of tariffs. But I think I see what he's doing and why he's doing it. And it may be the last chance we have if we do not let others see us blink. This isn't about politics. This is about survival. The world as we known it since World War II is over. And that's not a bad thing. It's an opportunity. It's an opportunity to rebuild something better, stronger, something real. The question is, are we brave enough to face it or will we believe the truth when we hear it? Hello, Stu, how are you?
