On today's show, Glenn Beck goes full Jihad on the banks. Also, the story of Ming and Mo, the Apple analogy, and our thoughts on Scott Adams who passed away during the middle of the show.
00:00:00.000Oh yeah, today I went full jihad on the banks, and we really start with what's happening in
00:00:07.500Minnesota. I just can't take it. I just can't take it. So jihad on the banks, also Ming and Mo
00:00:14.520and the Apple analogy that brings you again to the Chinese and to the banks, and our thoughts
00:00:21.600on Scott Adams, who passed away, unfortunately, during the middle of my podcast. My spur-of-the-moment
00:00:27.920thoughts on that as well, all on today's podcast. When we talk about America turning 250 years old,
00:00:34.900the real story isn't just in the history books. It's in the people who got up before the sun,

00:02:27.380You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:31.920I want to talk to you. I don't know. I've got so many things on my plate today that I don't know
00:02:37.300if we can finish everything. I have, and I just need a real quick call from Ricky and Jason. And Jason,
00:02:44.360you've been talking to the insiders all day, uh, on, uh, at glennbeck.com with the torch. Can you tell
00:02:50.620me, um, I've got some stuff on Sharia law that's happening here in America and how important that
00:02:59.660is. Um, and I also have the, the story of Ming and Mo and how it's a chalkboard on what's really
00:03:08.920happening in, uh, Iran, uh, and the, the responsibility of the banks play a little bit.
00:03:15.760Well, as a producer, I like flow. And so this segment on the chalkboard flows nicely out of
00:03:23.780this Seamus segment. Okay. Uh, Jason, what are the insiders saying today?
00:03:28.440Well, I, I, I told the insiders the very beginning, if I had to put a theme on this broadcast,
00:03:32.420I was saying it was making complicated subjects easy to understand. And that screams the tale of
00:03:40.280Ming and Mo to me. Okay. All right. So I was thinking of, uh, Iran, uh, yesterday and where
00:03:50.220are they in the cycle of collapse? Is it going to happen? How likely is it going to happen? Um,
00:03:57.740and a friend of mine, a dear friend of mine, uh, sent me something, uh, that is, uh, kind of a white
00:04:06.060paper on oil and Iran and what's really going on in Iran. And I'm reading this last night and I'm
00:04:12.800like, Oh my gosh, this is fabulous, but it took me a while to get through it and under and understand
00:04:17.520it. So I'm going to do my best to break this down into a way that you can understand. And I'll give
00:04:23.760you an important part of it because something happened in China with, with oil and it revolves
00:04:32.740around the teapot refineries. You can look that up, the teapot refineries. So let me tell you a
00:04:39.880story. We're going to, we're going to tell you the story of Mo, definitely not Mohammed and Ming,
00:04:45.960Mo and Ming. Mo is an apple farmer, a farmer, and he starts out small. He has a few trees,
00:04:54.780a few crates. He's, you know, works hard and everything. And he reinvests all the time.
00:05:00.040He plants more trees. He buys more land. He takes out loans for trucks and storage and refrigeration.
00:05:05.280And he's not reckless. You know, he's, he's doing what everybody tells him to do,
00:05:09.600grow, just keep growing your business. Um, and he, he becomes bigger and bigger and it
00:05:17.220becomes like the thing, you know, you, you gotta have the apples selling to be able to keep his
00:05:23.980community stable. Well, one day something incredible happens, uh, a massive single grocery chain picks up
00:05:32.320Mo's apples. Okay. Not a few apples, all of the apples, which is good because what I didn't tell
00:05:39.760you about Mo is he thinks he's a good guy, but he's pissed every other Apple store off in the
00:05:45.740world. Nobody wants Mo's apples. So he's got like this big farm and he's got all these apples and
00:05:52.160nobody wants to buy his apples and Ming shows up and he's like, you know what? We love that. Of course,
00:05:58.020we take your apples or we're going to make them into apple cider and apple juice. So we're going to
00:06:01.320refine them a little bit, but we love your apples. Well, suddenly he's not selling at the roadside
00:06:08.080anymore. He's scaling. He's expanding. He's borrowing more because the demand is guaranteed.
00:06:12.820Demand is guaranteed. He's got somebody wants to buy it forever. The trucks are finances,
00:06:17.860the finance, the warehouses are leased. The future looks locked in and it's great. As long as Ming
00:06:23.400needs apple juice, he's got the apples for Ming keeps planting trees, producing apples, keeps moving.
00:06:31.320But he doesn't have cash piling up in the vault. He's operating on assumed flow.
00:06:41.280As long as apples are leaving his farm, as long as the trucks keep rolling in, as long as the store
00:06:46.180keeps accepting deliveries, that that's fine. The bank is calm. The lenders are satisfied. The workers
00:06:51.500get paid. Everything is great. But then one day, without any warning, look up teapot refineries.
00:06:59.840The store calls. Ming calls and says, ah, yeah, he's not angry. He's not being political.
00:07:05.700It's not a moral thing. It's just business. Ming says, yeah, we can't take any more apples. We're at
00:07:12.560capacity. And Mo's like, what do you mean you're at capacity? Don't you need apples? Yeah, we need lots of
00:07:18.040apples. But we have to make them into apple cider and apple juice. And we're just at capacity right
00:07:23.460now. So we can't take them because we have a very bureaucratic system. And you know, global warming.
00:07:28.720And Mo's like, global warming? Yeah, yeah. So we can't take any more of your apples.
00:07:35.320Well, Mo is like, what the hell am I going to do? You need apples. Yep, yep. But we can't take the
00:07:41.880volume anymore. Suddenly, the problem is not demand. It's capacity. There's nobody that will take his
00:07:49.480apples, accept them, and they're out of space. They can't take them anymore. No alternative.
00:07:56.080There's nobody else that wants to buy. Nobody big enough to absorb the volume. And no other store can
00:08:01.460take them. Nobody's buying. The apples are still coming off the tree, but they have nowhere to go.
00:08:07.640In fact, they are in the trucks. Let's say they're shadow fleet of trucks. And he's got them all over
00:08:16.300the world. And now he's shipping them, but nobody can take the oil. He can't transport oil. He's got
00:08:23.280nothing. So he's got these trucks that were on their way to Ming's. And now they're just parked on
00:08:29.620the sides of the road. And they're just sitting there. And now the police are like, why are all these
00:08:35.660trucks on the sides of the roads? I mean, check that truck out. What are you doing there? And then
00:08:40.980they realize, wait a minute, you don't have a license to ship apples. In fact, you don't have
00:08:45.760a license on this truck. This truck isn't. What are you doing? They impound the trucks. They lose the
00:08:52.680trucks. The trucks begin to stack up. Everything's gone because now he's also losing the trucks.
00:09:01.400Okay. He didn't fail because he was bad at farming. His entire operation was built around one buyer
00:09:09.320and that buyer hit a ceiling and it happened all at once. Okay. Now, what we don't think about is that
00:09:18.700he never actually owned any of the trucks. He never owned anything. Okay. He didn't own the tractors
00:09:24.880of the warehouses. The banks did. And the banks never trusted the farmer. The banks trusted his
00:09:31.500business partner. And so his business partner had the insurance policy. Every truck, every warehouse,
00:09:37.740everything. The business partner was the one. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, this is the part that'll
00:09:42.940piss you off if you know that we're talking about oil and Ming is actually the refinery in China
00:09:47.580and Mo is the oil in Iran. But I didn't say that. I'm talking about apples. Once you understand
00:09:55.100this and I say, wait a minute, what do you mean the bank didn't trust Iran? I mean, Mo,
00:10:02.300what do you mean they trusted Ming? And they were the ones writing the loans. They were the ones
00:10:08.360covering the insurance. They were doing everything. They covered everything. So Mo could exist.
00:10:14.540Yeah, they covered all the transit insurance, everything. Because Mo wasn't actually selling
00:10:26.420the apples to Ming. He was doing a barter system. This is where, this is why I'm on a jihad for the
00:10:36.840banks. He did a barter system. Wait a minute. Hang on just a second. What do you mean he didn't pay
00:10:42.660for? The China didn't pay for that oil? The apples? No. No, because that would be illegal.
00:10:50.320There's an embargo on that oil. You can't buy that oil. Banks knew that. The insurance companies
00:10:58.000knew that. You can't put that tanker out there because you're going to buy this oil. No, no, no,
00:11:02.900says the bankers. You know what? If you don't pay cash, if there's no money exchanging hands,
00:11:11.480well, you can take that oil. Yeah, but how do I pay Mo? Well, you could pay Mo by giving him more
00:11:18.380trucks. You could pay him by setting him up in business and helping him buy other things that
00:11:25.260he needs. You could give those to him. You could barter. You could do those things. You can send
00:11:30.100people in to help him build his infrastructure. You can do that. And instead, he just gives you
00:11:35.220that oil. So there's no money changing hands. That way, we haven't violated any international
00:11:40.680law, says the banker. And we're fine. We have no exposure here. The banks are fine. The insurance
00:11:50.120companies in Switzerland, they're fine because there's no exposure. They're not breaking the law.
00:11:56.160Oh my gosh. This is enough to give me a brain aneurysm. Wait, what?
00:12:09.360So here's where the story turns a little darker than that. The farmer, Mo, he has sons and each one ran a
00:12:18.180different part of his farm. One handled security, one handled distribution, one handled the relationship
00:12:23.560with the big store. One was just skimming off the top and built himself a nice little house at the
00:12:28.840edge of the property. Every single, and he had a lot of relatives, every single relative had something
00:12:35.120to do with that farm. And for years, they all got along because they loved each other. Now, they
00:12:40.860actually just were selling apples and everybody could get along. They'd kill each other at night if
00:12:45.180they could. But now the apples aren't selling. So the arguments have begun.
00:12:49.880One son says, sell them land while it's worth something. Another says, no, hold on. The store
00:12:54.180might come back. Another one says, no, you know what? I'm not with either of you and starts moving
00:12:58.760equipment out of the barn in the middle of the night. And he's just going to get onto a plane and
00:13:02.680disappear at some point. Everybody's still wearing the Mo's apple farm uniform, but nobody believes in
00:13:09.400the farm anymore. This is when things fracture. This is when countries go down because each son stops
00:13:19.300asking, how do we save the farm? And they start asking, how do I get out before it collapses?
00:13:25.140The farm doesn't change hands in a ceremony. It just empties out. And it empties out of the
00:13:31.300sons first, the ones who were kind of owning, had a big role in the farm. Because the farm workers,
00:13:40.780the other ones, they never liked Mo. And they're on strike because now they're not making any money.
00:13:45.920Everything is seemingly collapsing. And they're stuck there. They can't get on a plane in the
00:13:50.680middle of the night. They haven't been paid. They're angry. They're tired of promises. They're
00:13:54.920tired of Mo. The farmer now can't even walk the orchard at night because his security won't even
00:14:01.080keep him safe. There's still pockets that will do it. He can't inspect the trees. He can't fix what's
00:14:07.580broken if he ever could. And he's distracted instead of paying attention to the next person.
00:14:13.640He is having to pay attention to the protests that are out in front of his gate. And everything
00:14:19.440begins to rot. This is what's happening in Iran. The banks kept them alive. The banks found a way
00:14:33.100with China to get around the international law and keep that oil flowing. And there is a kill switch.
00:14:39.100I'll get into that some other point. There is a kill switch that if they flip that switch,
00:14:44.020then those sanctions actually get serious. And then it's over. And it'll be over in a month.
00:14:49.480It'll be over in a month. If this scenario is right, if because there's something wrong with
00:14:55.060the teapot refineries, I don't know what it is yet. But I'm just trying to I'm just trying to make
00:15:00.020sense of of this white paper that I read about the teapot refineries. And I don't know exactly
00:15:05.000because they're saying it's part of partly global warming. No, it's not. That's bullcrap. And you
00:15:08.860and I both know it. China doesn't care about global warming. So what is happening? All I can tell you is
00:15:16.060what I got out of this whole story was you were sitting here watching again, another story about
00:15:24.300global banks keeping really bad people in position because they get a cut and they'll walk away in the
00:15:33.080end. And they'll have their cut. They'll have made their money. Screw Mo and Ming. Screw the workers.
00:15:41.100They don't even come up on anybody's radar. That's why we need to pray for the workers. We need to be
00:15:47.380supporting the workers because Mo and Ming have never been honest. And the bankers certainly have
00:15:53.940never been honest. It's seemingly every day I find another reason to look at these banks and say,
00:16:01.260we got to clean these places out from Epstein to China to Venezuela, the drug cartels
00:16:08.900all over to riot Inc. I think the problem is really starting to be very apparent. The problem
00:16:17.240is at the bank. They're enabling everybody. Let me tell you about relief factor. Most of us don't
00:16:26.200notice how much pain shapes our day until we've been doing it for a long, long time. You wake up
00:16:30.640stiff. You move a little slower than you used to. Eventually, that becomes the normal, not because
00:16:34.720it should be, but because you've lived around it. You've learned to just function and just dismiss it.
00:16:42.680Relief factor was created for people who are tired of managing pain and would rather address what's
00:16:46.920causing it. It's a daily supplement designed to help your body fight inflammation, which is at the root
00:16:51.680of so many of our aches and our pains, our joint issues, et cetera. It's not a quick mask or a
00:16:57.900temporary distraction. It is about supporting your body over time so you can move more freely,
00:17:03.420sleep more comfortably, and get back doing the things without constantly negotiating with your
00:17:08.060own joints. It's relief factor. 100% drug-free, targets the inflammation that causes pain so you
00:17:12.940can move better, feel better, and actually enjoy life again. Try the three-week quick start. It's
00:17:17.2601995. Go to relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or call 800-4-RELIEF. See if you're the next person
00:17:22.880that can get out of pain. It's relieffactor.com, 1-800, the number four, Relief. Now back to the
00:17:28.360podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Okay, so let me do a little bit of a
00:17:37.820jihad here because I was thinking last night about what's happening in Somalia. I'm thinking about ICE.
00:17:42.960I'm thinking about, you know, the president now being sued. I love this one. Minnesota.
00:17:50.280Guess. Guess who. A name from the past that, you know, I just always feel warm and fuzzy inside when
00:17:56.540I hear Keith Ellison's name. Keith Ellison, I think, personally, kind of a bad guy. By the way,
00:18:04.820if you're looking at the chalkboard guys I'm seeing in the control room, chalkboard,
00:18:07.920that's Mo and Ming's apple farm. That's for China a little later. You don't want to miss that.
00:18:15.720But let me talk to you about Minnesota. Keith Ellison, he is suing the Trump administration
00:18:27.280because he said, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin Cities and Minnesota
00:18:33.600is happening now. And it has to stop. DHS agents have sown chaos and terror across the metropolitan
00:18:41.880area and in cities all across the state of Minnesota. No, they haven't. They've shown up to do
00:18:47.540their job. And what is their job? Their job is, well, ICE is there to make sure that people who have
00:18:55.580criminal records are no longer there. And you have, I'll give you a list in a little while,
00:19:03.440of all the people that they're arresting, trying to arrest. They're really, really bad guys. But
00:19:09.240it is really not even about the Somalis. Even the Somalis that were laundering money or, you know,
00:19:16.440stealing money from the Minnesota people. It's not even about that. I'll tell you who it's really
00:19:21.900about here in just a second. But let me take you through the story. Because last night I heard
00:19:28.020about the lawsuit and then I'm thinking, you know, that damn airport. How did they miss this at the
00:19:33.320airport? A million dollars a day in cash, in a suitcase for up to two years. $700 million went
00:19:44.020through that airport. And I'm thinking, you know, if I have a suitcase and it's got $5,000 in cash,
00:19:51.900and I'm just taking it through the x-ray machine, I have a feeling we should do this. Let's go see
00:19:57.480if we can get $10,000. And let's just try to go through. Let's just see what DHS says. I'm going
00:20:02.640to take a suitcase. We'll put $10,000 cash in it. And I'll just go through it. Let's just see if they
00:20:06.720say anything besides, whoa, wow, that's a lot of cash there. And then let me go on. I doubt they do.
00:20:15.140Are you claiming this? What's happening with this money? Where's this money going for? It's the law.
00:20:20.920So how did they put a million dollars through that airport? Well, it didn't start with the
00:20:27.540airport. Didn't start with a suitcase. It started with a check. A check. A check written by the state
00:20:34.740of Minnesota. That, if you're listening to us in Minnesota, I'd like to remind you, is your money.
00:20:40.920Money that you could have used to put your kids through school. Put your kids in new clothes.
00:20:46.500Put your kids in a better school. Take a vacation. Pay down the credit card. Whatever it is.
00:20:53.320That's your money meant to feed children and support daycare centers that are supposed to be,
00:20:59.200and I know this is a very high bar, supposed to be real places with real kids, real meals,
00:21:05.860real receipts. But before the check was ever written, you have to understand this whole system
00:21:12.700of welfare, of this whole thing. It was designed to ask basic questions because
00:21:19.680we expect humans to be humans. We expect fraud to happen. Okay? So they ask questions like,
00:21:27.780this is a tough one. Is this a real center? Is this, are there, actually, forgive me for asking this.
00:21:35.380This is really tough. You'll have to do the math on that. Are there any real children in this real
00:21:41.260center? Here's one. Do the numbers actually make sense? Those questions are not really philosophical.
00:21:50.140They're program controls, and they're put in, again, because we know people, when nobody's looking,
00:21:57.340people sometimes steal and do bad things, and they exist specifically to stop exactly what happened
00:22:03.840in Minnesota. And yet the first payment went through. Okay, mistake. Then the second. Then the
00:22:09.520third. And the third is bigger than the first and the second. And each time they get bigger and bigger
00:22:15.240and more absurd until the numbers stop being suspicious and just become impossible. You can't
00:22:22.720feed that many kids in there. How big is this daycare? No daycare feeds that many children. No profit,
00:22:28.340non-profit grows that fast. Okay? No honest program explodes overnight into tens and then hundreds of
00:22:36.700millions without tripping every single wire the system has. Because it just doesn't happen.
00:22:44.340So last night I was thinking about the odds because this is the only honest way to deal with
00:22:52.360how could nobody know? What are the odds that nobody knew? Well, let's start with the state-level
00:22:59.120program. The odds that people noticed and chose not to stop it are incredibly high. And that's not
00:23:08.400because I'm cynical. It's because what the scale does. Okay? This is something at this scale everybody
00:23:15.660noticed. When a program starts paying amounts that dwarf normal baselines, it's not hidden in the
00:23:22.340noise. It becomes the noise. You know, if you're doing, if, if you're, uh, doing banking and you're
00:23:29.800somebody and you're bringing in, you know, a million dollars every month to the bank, do you think if
00:23:34.820you're just going up to the counter and you're just waddling up to the counter and like, I got another
00:23:38.840million dollars to, uh, to deposit this month, do you think none of the tellers just say, what does that
00:23:44.000guy do? Of course they do. Of course they do. So it's not hidden in the noise. It is the noise. And
00:23:52.800that means that memos, escalations, exceptions, and approvals all had to happen. This means humans
00:24:00.340were involved making decisions. And the justice department has just described this as the largest
00:24:06.720COVID fraud scheme in the state. Now they've charged dozens of people, dozens, dozens of
00:24:18.440people, Somalis, because you hate Somalis, remember? So the, by the time you're witnessing
00:24:24.600nine figures, we're not debating a miss. How did you miss this? We're debating whether the failure
00:24:30.960was cowardice, incompetence, or complicity. Okay. That's just at the writing of the checks.
00:24:38.400Now let's stop at the bank for a second because the money eventually has to hit the bank because
00:24:43.640it's a check. So somebody has to take that check and put it in the bank, get the cash back out.
00:24:50.580Now this is where the American public still believes that, you know, this, this comforting fairy
00:24:57.800tale that the bank is just a neutral pipe. You know, the money goes in, the money comes out,
00:25:02.980nobody knows anything. That's not how modern banking, were you alive during 9-11? Do you
00:25:09.960remember banking before 9-11? Do you remember what they did to the banks after 9-11? Do you know what
00:25:14.560they did to the banks after 2008? You practically can't move a dime without people knowing exactly what
00:25:22.240you're doing, at least in the banks. Because the bank runs on compliance, pattern detection,
00:25:29.780liability management. You know, this one I love. You know, what's a liability management?
00:25:34.400That's, that's a group of lawyers in a room that goes, okay, hang on just a second. If we don't
00:25:39.060report this, are we going to be liable? If we do continue them with a customer, are we in trouble?
00:25:44.440Okay. They don't care about you, the state, nothing. They, their only job is to make sure
00:25:50.660the bank isn't liable for anything you might be doing. Okay. They also track velocity. How fast
00:25:59.200is that money coming in and going out? They track any anomalies. They track behavior that doesn't
00:26:06.340match the account story. I'm a daycare center. Really? This is the entire point of what is called
00:26:15.520the Bank Secrecy Act, which gave us SARS, the yellow tickets, CTRs, all the surveillance architecture
00:26:25.060that we have all came out of 9-11 and then. And that's the entire point is to be able to find and
00:26:32.760track everything. Okay. This is the, do you remember, what was it? A couple of years ago
00:26:38.420under Biden, the financials crimes center, they wanted to make sure that every single business
00:26:45.680was registered with them to make it easier for them to understand exactly that you're not
00:26:53.660money laundering. So they care about this. They care about this. The own numbers show the system
00:27:01.640is massive. 4.7 million yellow tickets just in 2024. Now that means that Fred's not just sitting
00:27:12.100in the back going, well, let me just run the numbers here. That is a complex system. Now here's
00:27:18.480the brutal truth. These yellow tickets, you do something wrong. Let's say you're, the bank thinks
00:27:24.680that you're depositing money offshore. It produces a yellow ticket. And then that yellow ticket goes to
00:27:32.180the bank. It goes to those, that group of lawyers I told you about a minute ago going, geez, if we
00:27:37.320keep taking money from Epstein, are we going to be liable for anything? Okay. The yellow ticket then
00:27:44.560goes from the bank to the treasury department and it runs through the system. Now, I love this part of
00:27:51.520it. Only the banks could do this. It's an alarm bell. It's not a break. Okay. It doesn't freeze
00:27:57.800things. It, it, it only, it only, every time there's a problem, every time it says, oh, this
00:28:03.680doesn't look right. An alarm bell goes off. Okay. It doesn't invest. It doesn't guarantee an
00:28:08.880investigation. It guarantees that it's going to go to the higher ups in the bank. And they're like,
00:28:13.640okay, do we want to look into this or do we just move on? Send it to the treasury. We're just going to
00:28:19.620move on. Okay. That way the bank can keep servicing their customer. Because if you don't
00:28:25.960take my $4.7 million from my daycare, I'll take my money elsewhere. And they want that money.
00:28:34.400So this is how banks, this is, this is how bad guys get away with bad things for a long time.
00:28:39.900And I'm on this jihad because they know about China. Wait until I tell you about Mo and Ming's
00:28:46.100apple farm and how, you know, I've wondered how is, how is China getting this oil? I, I thought we
00:28:52.540banned all oil exports. Are they just, are they just bringing in? No, wait until I tell you that
00:28:57.760story. They know about the financial crimes that are happening in Venezuela. They know who's taken
00:29:03.280the gold and where the gold is. The banks know the banks know who the drug lords is, are, they know
00:29:10.360where the money is. They knew about Epstein. They knew about all of these things. Okay. All of them.
00:29:16.100And that's how bad guys keep getting away with it. So the common thread in all of this stuff is how
00:29:27.240the banks have optimized. The system is optimized to document suspicion, to manage it, manage the
00:29:34.680bank's exposure, but not actually stop any criminal activity unless you're unpopular, unless the federal
00:29:42.280government is like, no, this has to be stopped. Okay. Now layer in 2008 with what I just told you, Epstein
00:29:50.240made off all of this stuff. The banks didn't miss miss the risk. The banks created the risk. The banks
00:29:58.740created CDOs and derivatives and instruments designed to slice rate, sell, and then resell risk while
00:30:07.380everyone in the banking community in wall street collected fees. And then when it blew up, who paid?
00:30:14.340You did. You did. The taxpayer. You paid it.
00:30:18.720When this all blew up in Minnesota, who's left holding the bag? Who actually paid for all of this?
00:30:29.280You did. The banks got their fees. People got away with terrorists got their fees. Everybody seemed to
00:30:38.080get their money. You lost money. Let me now take you to the airport on my jihad. This is where this story
00:30:49.720becomes physically insulting because I've watched grandma get searched at the airport. I've watched
00:30:58.580toddlers be patted down. I've watched milk from a baby taken from a baby as they're drinking
00:31:08.080as they're drinking it and thrown away. Okay. It's ridiculous. And yet I'm asked to believe that
00:31:15.880suitcases full of $700 million in cash, a million dollars every day went through that airport in a
00:31:24.620suitcase and nobody noticed. Here's the thing. I'm not asking you to believe in a script for a Hollywood
00:31:32.080movie. I'm asking you to accept something more mundane, more damning. Patterns that are visible,
00:31:40.200patterns that are discussable, patterns that generate paperwork. So again, let me ask you the
00:31:47.260odds question again. What are the odds that the people on the front line, standing there by the
00:31:54.480scanners and the screens, notice these anomalies at least some of the time? If they didn't notice it
00:32:02.580every time, again, I'm pissed off in one another jihad on DHS and Department of Homeland Security,
00:32:10.720TSA. Why? Why weren't they aware of it every time? And if they were and they noticed this pattern
00:32:18.340and it's repeated every single day, what are the odds the supervisors weren't aware of this pattern?
00:32:28.940The odds that no one in the chain ever connected the dots? Wow. That's got to be never, right? It's
00:32:37.580got to be never. And if it's not, you should be pissed off for security reasons because they're
00:32:42.560ripping you off on security and patting down your toddler and grandmother while they're letting this
00:32:48.720happen. So you're left in the same fork in the road, negligence, paralysis, or protection.
00:32:58.640Then right when the citizen should be demanding clarity and consequences, you get a second fight
00:33:04.840layered over the first. Minnesota's leadership are framing the federal presence as harmful and
00:33:15.760they're trying to start something. The governor ordered the National Guard staged and emphasized
00:33:20.640keeping the peace during the demonstrations. The attorney general has just filed suit. Why?
00:33:26.560Why? Because they're responsible? No. It's cover-up. It's cover-up. It's to get your attention to stop
00:33:36.540looking at who enabled this threat, this theft. Who did this? Instead, they're asking you to pick a
00:33:43.520side in a street fight. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:33:49.600So let me take you back to Somali and my jihad. My jihad is on several things. And I believe these
00:33:59.560are the right things that we should be worried about. Look how many Somalis were involved in this.
00:34:06.240Okay. And everybody's concentrating on Somalis. I'm going to give you a list of just who I believe
00:34:10.480should be dragged in front of a court of law and answer questions. And I'm not even concentrating on
00:34:18.340the Somalis. Because the Somalis involved in this is a smaller number than everybody else that had
00:34:24.700to be involved in this. My jihad is on banks, but that will kind of be a theme throughout the entire
00:34:31.240show today. Banks are really, really pretty. They're great. They do a lot of great things. And there's a
00:34:40.060lot of great people at a lot of great banks. But the system itself protects itself. And they seem to
00:34:46.960always get rich while everybody else has to pay the price. They got their fees. And they knew.
00:34:53.320They had to have known. You don't run $700 million through an airport in cash. I tried to get $10,000
00:35:02.540out of my bank at one point because I wanted to bury it in my backyard next to my dog's bones.
00:35:07.480And, oh, crap. Now I got to read. I'm going to shovel it up now. Anyway, try to get it. It took
00:35:16.320me two weeks. Took me two weeks. Now it can go faster than that. But they were like, we have to
00:35:21.080let the Treasury know the Treasury. The bank doesn't have that much cash. And I'm like, you don't have
00:35:25.540$10,000. What kind of crappy bank? They're like, the Federal Reserve. It goes to the Federal Reserve
00:35:30.480every night. Now we're in Dallas. But every night it goes to the Federal Reserve. And we have to ask
00:35:35.420for the amounts of cash. So the money came from the Federal Reserve. That wasn't an easy thing. That
00:35:40.180wasn't like Mildred going into the back and just pulling out $10,000. There were all kinds of
00:35:45.700paperwork. So you're telling me $700 million in cash came out of a bank over a two-year period and
00:35:53.820nobody noticed it. Hmm. Then nobody noticed it at the TSA. Nobody noticed that. Nobody noticed
00:36:02.820that these daycare centers are remarkable, serving more children than even exist in that community.
00:36:13.560Nobody said anything. Nobody noticed. Hmm. Hmm. And now the last part. I am so sickened by
00:36:21.980the leadership of Minnesota. I mean, I would move from Minnesota. I mean, I know Minnesotas are now
00:36:31.280cheering. And they were like, wait, he was living here the whole time we didn't know it. They're
00:36:34.980cheering that I wouldn't live in Minnesota. And I understand that. But I wouldn't live in Minnesota.
00:36:39.040You couldn't pay me to live there. Not because of the politics, but because the society is accepting
00:36:44.560this corruption. And now your governor and the whole apparatus that stole money from you
00:36:52.020are now trying to get you riled up for a civil war. At least civil, the worst case scenario is civil war.
00:37:02.300Those are your governor's words, not mine. The best case scenario is civil unrest.
00:37:09.260They already let one of your cities burn to the ground. Why not burn the whole state down to the
00:37:14.960ground? Why? So they aren't called into question. So they don't have to go to court. So possibly they
00:37:21.660can get away with stealing your money? Is it Stockholm syndrome? Honestly. Now I know that involves
00:37:30.060hostages, but it's almost the same thing. And I was thinking about it and it's not Stockholm syndrome,
00:37:34.920but how do you get good people to do what people are doing up there? Well, you have to condition them
00:37:42.200for a very long time. And this happens on both sides. I want you to know, you have to be careful on our
00:37:46.680side. You're conditioned to go, orange man, bad. Tim Walsh, bad. Okay. You're conditioned. And so when
00:37:56.120something happens, you're immediately conditioned to go, no, your bad side, me good side. Okay.
00:38:06.520So that plays a role in it. But the other part that plays a role is if you have been this wrong and
00:38:13.080you have defended somebody like this for so long and you've turned a blind eye to local reports and
00:38:19.980everything else and you went, ah, that can't be true. And you're so deeply into it. It is almost
00:38:25.040impossible for you to admit that you were that wrong for that long. Especially if the other side
00:38:34.000says, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong. Instead of saying, you're looking at this, I think
00:38:38.600the wrong way. Can I give you another way to look at this? Instead of welcoming people and saying,
00:38:44.820no, no, no. I understand how you're feeling. I get it. If we are on our side saying, you're wrong,
00:38:51.920you're part of the problem, you never, they'll never change their mind. They only harden their
00:38:56.400positions and you will have civil unrest or civil war. In the meantime, we have to pursue this.
00:39:05.020The federal agents cannot be turned around. You have to change this because if you don't,
00:39:11.680if you can't break the spell and there is no accountability ever, then, you know, the predators
00:39:17.260will just do it again. They'll do it bigger. They'll do it in the daylight. You know, guardrails
00:39:21.880are real until somebody decides they're not. Okay. So I started making a list last night until I had no
00:39:32.620more lead in the universe to put into a pencil and write it down. Uh, start making a list.
00:39:41.680I'm a little like Santa if he were on a jihad and, uh, cause I made a list and it's a long list
00:39:50.340and I've checked it twice. Now this is just the list of the system. Okay. Everybody's, everybody is
00:39:57.820freaking about Somalis. I suggest we start looking at the system because this far outnumbers the
00:40:06.820Somalis that were involved, I think. So who should be called in for questioning? Who should be worried
00:40:14.400tonight? This is another reason why they can set the state on fire and nobody in government's going
00:40:19.740to say a word. So who needs to be questioned? Who most likely at least knew and failed to say anything?
00:40:27.240I'm not saying they're complicit, but they at least knew and failed to say anything. You got to
00:40:32.720question the program directors, the division directors who oversee child nutrition, daycare
00:40:38.260reimbursement, grant or the grant administration, uh, the payment approval managers and supervisors.
00:40:45.920These are the people who can override a hold and approve exceptions. If something's hinky,
00:40:52.780you got to talk to the people who went, now don't worry about it. Okay. The contract grant
00:40:58.660officers and their supervising chain, because there's exceptions. Something was hinky and all
00:41:04.540of it. Somebody said, Hey, this doesn't look right. And somebody else had to say, don't worry about it.
00:41:10.300Okay. The internal audit leadership that is assigned to all of those agencies. These are people who
00:41:18.020possibly will face jail time. If the universe worked the way it should, the compliance and integrity
00:41:24.620units inside the agencies, anybody who is involved in integrity and the integrity office, the agency
00:41:34.780general counsel, all of the people in the agencies are like, are we going to, are we, are we doing
00:41:39.400anything illegal here? Can we get by with all of this stuff? Any legal review staff involved in the
00:41:45.620escalations, the state finance people, the budget oversight personnel, anybody who would see abnormal
00:41:53.300burn rates of that money and the concentrations of that money and go, something's not right here
00:41:58.200because the system, remember the system is designed to look for things outside of the pattern.
00:42:05.660That's how you spot fraud. So everything has been designed to spot that. This isn't something like,
00:42:11.520well, we never saw airplanes flying into buildings. Nobody ever thought of that. We thought of fraud.
00:42:17.360So there are tripwires everywhere. You need to question the inspector general, anybody who had
00:42:25.000oversight functions, okay, federal funding and oversight interfaces. So now this is the next
00:42:31.040level. This goes from the state to the federal, the USDA program oversight and compliance liaisons
00:42:37.040tied to the program streams, the federal and state coordination points responsible for responding to
00:42:43.740audit findings or corrective action plans. So now, now the, now the auditors who are like, Hey,
00:42:49.120there's a, there's something hinky here. Then you go to the banks, the bank managers at the branches,
00:42:56.440the regional operations manager, where high volume cash activity was occurring, the bank secrecy act,
00:43:04.600the AML investigators assigned to the accounts, anybody where there was a yellow ticket that went up,
00:43:10.000who was advised, who, who was assigned to look into that. And why didn't you act on that?
00:43:15.900The, the yellow ticket committees, the governance groups, the senior compliance leadership,
00:43:22.060that's regional and the local and the state bank, um, the risk officers, the compliance officers,
00:43:31.000anybody who was looking at legal and risk, you know, should we keep this customer? Cause there is a
00:43:35.860risk here. Are we going to be held responsible? The correspondent banking, the, the wire risk teams,
00:43:43.080when you send a wire, I want to look at everybody who was involved in sending that wire. I want to
00:43:47.860look at all of the risk teams and what they said, what they did, anybody who was moving money
00:43:52.700internationally or through high risk corridors. How did you do that? How did you move money just to
00:44:00.220Somalia? That alone sends up red flags. Then you get to the TSA and the airport. I want to question
00:44:10.520everybody in the TSA, the super supervisory chain, anybody who was responsible for noticing patterns,
00:44:18.440the airport security operations management, the people who are responsible for reporting and receiving
00:44:25.800the reports on anything out of line, any joint task force liaison roles that interfaced with repeated
00:44:33.580cash moot, you know, they're getting calls. And if they didn't, I want to know why, who made that call
00:44:38.660to say, don't make the calls anymore. The, uh, the currency reporting enforcement from our border patrol,
00:44:49.540from, from, from our customs, why didn't they, why weren't they involved or were they any kind of
00:44:55.720outbound international cash that should have shown up with our, with our customs? Why did no one in
00:45:01.740customs say anything? Then you have the prosecutors, the agency investigators who documented early red flags.
00:45:11.160Why weren't they listened to who said, shut up about this supervisors who decided whether to refer,
00:45:17.460escalate or pause payments. Was there anybody in line that said, Hey, we need to check this out
00:45:22.760before we send any more money here. Any task force leadership, coordinating multi-agency response
00:45:29.600timelines. Okay. That's me at home last night, just ranting, you know, who else, what happened to
00:45:41.420this people? Why in customs doing it? Why, why did the person on the front line, who did they report to?
00:45:46.320Who did they report to? Who stopped them from $700 million? Who in Washington was saying, uh,
00:45:52.620uh, uh, uh, don't look into, did it make it to Washington? If it didn't make it to Washington,
00:45:56.520how come it didn't make it to Washington? This shows the banking, the state and the feds
00:46:03.720were completely, every, at best, every tripwire failed. And there are hundreds of them. I don't
00:46:15.060believe they failed. People intentionally were either involved or they intentionally chose not
00:46:21.640to get involved. You couple that with a, with a state full of people that don't want to look into it
00:46:29.540now that it's been exposed and are willing to look at the people who did this to them
00:46:38.060and say, yeah, I want to march in the streets. I want to put my body in front of the feds who are
00:46:44.780doing investigations, who are trying to do this. I want to put my body in front of them to protect
00:46:49.420Tim Walls and his cronies or the people at the airport or the people at the banks.
00:46:55.260There's something deeply wrong. And you do not heal this society until you heal the people who were
00:47:02.640not involved, but are, who are willing to look the other way at this point. There's no hope for
00:47:10.120Minnesota unless you can turn the people and, and have them go, wow, I'm sorry. I was blind for a
00:47:17.500minute. I don't know what happened to me. You'll never solve this and it'll only get worse.
00:47:25.240Do not accept the lies that Tim Walls and, and Keith Ellison are now trying to get you to believe
00:47:32.500that this is all the feds and their hatred for Muslims or their hatred of Somalis. It's not,
00:47:38.500I haven't even mentioned the Somalis. They're the least of my worries.

00:48:06.280We pause for a man who quietly became something far more important than most people ever realized.
00:48:17.020Scott Adams for most of his life was just a cartoonist, as if just a cartoonist is a small thing.
00:48:24.360He was a cartoonist that connected with us because he had, there was so much wisdom in that little man, that every man.
00:48:39.980We saw, especially in the days when there was a water cooler in our office, when we would stand around in the kitchen or we would work in big offices where we all knew somebody that looked like that cartoon figure.
00:49:00.660We related to him. We related to him. We understood him. We saw him in ourselves at times.
00:49:13.500But not often did I think at the time of the cartoonist that was behind it.
00:49:19.920He wasn't just a cartoonist. Scott Adams was a translator. He was a translator of, of human weakness, of power, of persuasion.
00:49:33.100He was a translator of self-deception.
00:49:37.700He took the chaos of our modern day life and reduced it
00:49:42.100in a small little square in the old days in a newspaper or in a calendar.
00:49:49.920He took all of that and reduced it into something that we could see.
