00:00:30.000 Hey, update on what's really going on in Minnesota, how things are accelerating and why that's bad.

00:00:35.580 Also, $5,100 for gold and all of the possible tripwires.

00:00:39.820 Why is this happening and what does it mean to you?

00:00:42.000 And the lead up to Alex Preddy getting shot by Border Patrol.

00:00:46.320 Where do you stand on that? What's right? What's wrong?

00:00:49.740 We'll give that to you all on today's podcast.

00:00:52.280 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:00:53.840 I want to tell you about Brian. He lives in Alabama.

00:00:55.940 He says, after taking Relief Factor for just three weeks, 90% of my pain is gone.

00:01:02.100 My pain started to limit me at work and then at home, and I am amazed at what it has done and the relief that I've gotten.

00:01:09.760 I can tell you that Brian's story is similar to my own and so many other people that write in and talk to us about it.

00:01:15.900 The amazement part really is everything we all have in common.

00:01:19.280 I can't believe this actually worked.

00:01:20.700 When I first tried Relief Factor, I didn't expect it to do anything at all, but you can bet I was incredibly surprised when it not only helped, but it basically helped me get my life back.

00:01:30.880 And it could help you too.

00:01:31.880 It's created by doctors.

00:01:32.980 Relief Factor is a 100% drug-free product using four key ingredients that support the body's natural inflammatory response.

00:01:39.560 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor like Brian and me, and two-thirds of them go on to order more month after month because I'm not dealing with the kind of pain I was dealing with before.

00:01:49.100 Relief Factor. See if Relief Factor can help get you out of pain.

00:01:52.400 Call 800-4-RELIEF. 800-4-RELIEF. Relief Factor. How will it feel to be out of pain?

00:01:59.280 Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. 0.99

00:02:42.140 And thanks for standing, Willis.

00:02:43.300 Now let's get to work.

00:02:44.900 Hey, update on what's really going on in Minnesota, how things are accelerating and why that's bad.

00:02:50.020 Also, $5,100 for gold and all of the possible tripwires.

00:02:54.220 Why is this happening and what does it mean to you?

00:02:56.600 And the lead-up to Alex Preddy getting shot by Border Patrol.

00:03:00.940 Where do you stand on that?

00:03:02.520 What's right?

00:03:03.220 What's wrong?

00:03:04.180 We'll give that to you all on today's podcast.

00:03:09.700 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:17.980 So Tim Wall said over the weekend, what's your plan, Donald Trump?

00:03:21.840 What's your plan?

00:03:25.180 Well, the plan is to go get the bad guys and then leave your state.

00:03:29.380 But that doesn't seem to be working because you have a different plan.

00:03:34.800 He said, what do we need to get these federal agents out of our state?

00:03:37.760 Let them do their job.

00:03:39.260 Just let them do their job.

00:03:41.520 He said, if fear, violence, and chaos is what you wanted from us.

00:03:45.920 No, that's not what he wanted from you.

00:03:47.640 No, that's what you're giving.

00:03:49.080 But that's not what he wanted.

00:03:50.760 Then you clearly underestimated the people and this state and nation.

00:03:53.940 We're tired, but we're resolved.

00:03:55.640 We're peaceful, but we'll never forget.

00:03:58.140 We're angry, but we won't give up on hope.

00:04:00.880 And above all, we're clearly unified.

00:04:03.860 I wonder about that one.

00:04:05.460 I wonder about that one.

00:04:07.040 I mean, I think people who are not thinking are unified.

00:04:10.660 But this is a time for all Americans.

00:04:12.840 These are the times that try men's souls.

00:04:16.140 He said, we believe in law and order in this state.

00:04:18.880 You know what, that kind of stuck to me.

00:04:24.240 You know, Minnesota believes in law and order.

00:04:26.980 I want to believe that.

00:04:28.680 I really do.

00:04:30.420 Because Americans want to believe that about themselves.

00:04:33.220 I want to believe I believe in law and order.

00:04:35.440 But it's hard sometimes.

00:04:37.360 But belief is not proven by slogans or words from some leader.

00:04:42.960 It's proven by what you tolerate and what you punish.

00:04:46.860 Law and order is not a yard sign that you put up.

00:04:50.460 It's not a press release.

00:04:52.380 Okay?

00:04:52.740 After something's burned down, you don't say, we don't believe in burning cities down.

00:04:56.440 Unless you've arrested those people.

00:04:59.240 Law and order is discipline.

00:05:01.140 It's quiet.

00:05:02.100 Honestly, it should be very boring.

00:05:04.580 It's relentless.

00:05:05.600 And yeah, sometimes it's really unpopular.

00:05:08.420 So, Governor Walz, can I just talk about the record here for a second?

00:05:11.240 Because that one really stuck out.

00:05:14.480 Minnesotans believe in law and order.

00:05:16.860 You just live through what prosecutors and investigators themselves have called the largest fraud scheme in American history.

00:05:25.440 Hundreds of millions siphoned through daycare programs meant for the poor.

00:05:30.940 Children used as cover.

00:05:32.740 Taxpayers robbed blind.

00:05:34.760 $700 million just going through the airport to Somalia.

00:05:38.300 Can I ask you, if you believe in law and order, how many people at the state level, how many people has your attorney general prosecuted and arrested?

00:05:48.500 How many?

00:05:50.500 How many?

00:05:51.300 Because that doesn't seem like law and order.

00:05:54.920 It seems like you are trying to not let people investigate that.

00:06:00.140 Okay.

00:06:00.400 The way you're behaving is not law and order.

00:06:02.540 It's permission.

00:06:04.280 Now, let's rewind a few years ago.

00:06:06.720 Police precincts overrun.

00:06:08.640 Entire neighborhoods burned.

00:06:10.940 Small businesses erased in a single night.

00:06:13.580 And what did you and the leadership say, in effect?

00:06:18.560 Stand down.

00:06:20.200 De-escalate.

00:06:21.540 Understand the anger.

00:06:23.040 And release those, anybody who was, you know, caught.

00:06:25.920 We have to become really, really clear on a few things.

00:06:34.340 Anger is not a defense in a republic.

00:06:37.600 Arson is not speech.

00:06:40.620 A society that believes in law and order doesn't hesitate to defend the innocent because it's afraid of the headlines.

00:06:48.380 Now, fast forward today.

00:06:50.580 Activists coordinating.

00:06:52.380 Wait till you see the news.

00:06:54.020 We'll show you in just a few minutes.

00:06:55.100 It's actually coordinating to mark and track down federal agents.

00:07:00.900 Shadow networks warning of enforcement actions.

00:07:04.280 Open calls to stop the federal government by force if necessary.

00:07:10.240 In fact, let me just play that here real quick.

00:07:12.960 Let me see if I can find it.

00:07:15.060 Let's just play here.

00:07:17.700 Here's an Antifa recruiter.

00:07:19.340 Cut two, please.

00:07:21.120 My name is Kyle.

00:07:22.280 I'm Antifa.

00:07:22.960 And there's so much rage in me that I've had to record this like 15 times trying to get the message out.

00:07:28.260 They f***ed up.

00:07:29.680 Okay?

00:07:30.120 Go watch my other videos.

00:07:31.100 Doesn't matter if you're not here and you're not caught up.

00:07:32.960 You've missed the f***ing fight.

00:07:34.100 But if you are, it's time to suit up.

00:07:36.600 Boots on the ground.

00:07:37.820 Show up.

00:07:39.540 Ready to go.

00:07:40.360 Okay?

00:07:41.100 I'm not talking about peaceful protests anymore.

00:07:43.960 We're not talking about having polite conversations anymore.

00:07:47.600 I am talking specifically to my f***ing followers.

00:07:50.640 This is everything I have f***ing talked about.

00:07:52.780 And this is exactly what I said was going to happen.

00:07:55.120 This is not a f***ing joke.

00:07:57.540 There's nothing fun to chant about it.

00:08:00.260 Get your f***ing guns and stop these f***ing people.

00:08:04.700 Is that law and order?

00:08:10.920 Notice what he started with.

00:08:12.360 I am so enraged.

00:08:13.840 When you're enraged, you're not making good decisions.

00:08:17.060 You're not.

00:08:17.460 You're just not.

00:08:18.100 I know because those are the things I usually have to go back and apologize for.

00:08:22.660 Those are the things when I get really, really pissed off.

00:08:24.960 Those are the things that my wife usually says to me. 1.00

00:08:27.000 I wouldn't say that right now.

00:08:28.060 I wouldn't do that right now.

00:08:29.280 I would relax.

00:08:30.040 I would.

00:08:30.520 You should pause.

00:08:31.320 And I don't do it and I get in trouble.

00:08:33.900 Every single time.

00:08:34.780 You don't make good decisions when you're enraged.

00:08:38.740 Okay.

00:08:40.100 Now again, the message from the top is, is not the law will be enforced.

00:08:46.120 It's this.

00:08:47.900 It's the problem is the enforcement.

00:08:51.540 Well, that's an inversion of everything we know.

00:08:54.100 Because law and order is not about whether you like the law.

00:08:57.840 It's about whether a law, whether or not the law applies, even when you don't like it.

00:09:04.320 So here's the hard truth.

00:09:06.200 Minnesota does not have a law and order problem because the people hate order.

00:09:11.920 Minnesota has a law and order problem because its leadership has taught a generation that law is optional if your cause feels righteous enough.

00:09:22.340 And that's why it's becoming deadly.

00:09:24.180 And history is very clear on this point.

00:09:27.240 We're not the first ones to go through this.

00:09:29.440 Can somebody, for the love of Pete, I shouldn't say these things when I get angry.

00:09:34.280 Can somebody please read a history book?

00:09:36.980 Just pick one up.

00:09:37.960 Anyplace.

00:09:38.920 Anyplace.

00:09:39.580 When violence is excused as contextual, when enforcement is treated as provocation, when prosecutors calculate politics before justice, the center doesn't hold.

00:09:56.060 Okay?

00:09:56.620 It just doesn't.

00:09:57.360 You don't get peace.

00:09:58.260 You get what we have in Minnesota.

00:09:59.920 You get escalation.

00:10:00.800 Because once a group learns that pressure works, that intimidation stalls the state, another group is going to learn it too.

00:10:09.740 And then another and another.

00:10:11.280 You know, what do you want, Minnesota, what do you want the federal government to do?

00:10:15.700 What do you want them to do?

00:10:16.620 We want them to leave.

00:10:17.740 You think they're going to leave?

00:10:19.180 Do you think they're going to leave?

00:10:20.220 Let's just talk about this rationally.

00:10:21.980 Do you think they're going to leave if you are having uprisings in the street?

00:10:29.400 No, they can't leave.

00:10:30.920 Why?

00:10:31.860 Well, does anybody remember 1982 Beirut?

00:10:36.120 There were two terrorist bombings.

00:10:39.040 Reagan's like, no, we got to pull out.

00:10:41.120 Everybody else was like, no, don't pull out.

00:10:42.780 He lasted a couple of years, but eventually pulled the Marines out because they were killing.

00:10:46.840 They were just kept hitting us with terror.

00:10:48.500 So he's like, you know what?

00:10:49.960 We just don't need to be there anymore.

00:10:51.160 Pulls them out.

00:10:51.980 Who does that teach a very important lesson?

00:10:55.100 Osama bin Laden.

00:10:56.720 Osama bin Laden saw that and went, oh, we can push around the federal government. 0.64

00:11:02.340 So he's not going to leave.

00:11:04.500 And you know he's not going to leave.

00:11:07.100 So what's your plan?

00:11:08.820 What is your plan?

00:11:10.340 Your plan is more chaos.

00:11:12.900 Well, this is how republics rot.

00:11:16.700 And they really rot when people shrug.

00:11:19.480 Okay.

00:11:19.900 It's not a coup.

00:11:20.740 It's a shrug.

00:11:21.320 Most people are like, I don't know.

00:11:22.680 I didn't pay attention.

00:11:24.680 Let me be absolutely clear here.

00:11:28.120 You have a right to protest.

00:11:30.180 And I will stand up even if I despise the things you say.

00:11:34.300 Even if you are picketing ICE and you are shouting slogans at ICE and you're demanding that the government respond to X, Y, and Z, all of those things are your right.

00:11:49.300 And I'm 100% behind you.

00:11:52.300 100%.

00:11:52.780 May not agree with you.

00:11:54.040 In fact, may really disagree with you.

00:11:56.420 This is not about crushing dissent.

00:11:59.380 It's not about silencing protest.

00:12:01.640 This is not about blind loyalty to authority until you hear me talk about the shooting today.

00:12:07.500 But this is something far more fragile.

00:12:10.840 This is talking about legitimacy.

00:12:13.220 Because law only works when people believe that it's real.

00:12:19.380 When it's real for the powerful, real for the connected, real for the activist, real for the bureaucrat, real for the federal agent, real for the protester, and real for the governor.

00:12:32.320 One standard.

00:12:33.860 The moment Americans believe that justice depends on ideology, the argument's already lost.

00:12:41.620 The street takes over.

00:12:43.480 So what does that tell you, America?

00:12:46.500 What does that tell you, Pam Bondi?

00:12:49.900 I'm not against Pam Bondi.

00:12:52.820 I'm not against any of it.

00:12:55.820 I'm for law and order because I understand how valuable it is.

00:13:00.920 If you don't prosecute both Republicans and Democrats, and hell, I'll just throw them in, independents, if you don't process and prosecute everybody with the same laws, nobody's going to believe in anything. 0.87

00:13:16.460 And then you have nothing left.

00:13:17.880 The center doesn't hold.

00:13:19.800 So, no, Minnesota, you don't get away with saying that you believe in law and order.

00:13:23.740 While fraud is largely unpunished, and you're not doing anything about it, riots are rebranded as a peaceful moment, and enforcement is treated like the real crime.

00:13:36.860 Belief without action is theater.

00:13:39.640 Law and order is not proven by words or words that are spoken after chaos.

00:13:43.840 It's proven by what you do before chaos and what you refuse to excuse after the chaos.

00:13:50.620 The good news is we haven't crossed the Rubicon yet, but we're close, you know.

00:13:57.820 Only if leaders remember somehow what we used to know instinctively will we survive.

00:14:03.900 A republic survives, not because everybody agrees, but because the law applies even when we don't agree.

00:14:10.540 That's not authoritarianism.

00:14:13.040 That's called civilization.

00:14:15.000 And if we forget that, Minnesota will not be the exception.

00:14:20.020 It will be the warning.

00:14:23.060 And hear me.

00:14:24.000 We're not talking about the republic.

00:14:26.740 We are talking about civilization.

00:14:31.280 Now, I'm going to show you next.

00:14:33.960 We've taken another step to cross the Rubicon.

00:14:37.500 We're not there yet, but we are close to that bridge.

00:14:40.800 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:14:49.160 Let me tell you about American Giant.

00:14:51.860 Many clothes today made to look good on the rack, but not to hold up in real life.

00:14:56.680 They might feel fine at first, and then the fabric starts to thin quickly.

00:15:00.040 The shape goes, and before you know, you're replacing, you know, something that really,

00:15:03.740 I mean, should have earned its place, but never earned its place in your closet.

00:15:09.820 American Giant.

00:15:10.920 They were built to push back against that entire model.

00:15:13.800 Their clothes are made here in the United States with an emphasis on durability and fit

00:15:18.260 and materials that are meant to last through the years of actual wear.

00:15:21.780 This is the way America used to make clothing, and it holds up and washing,

00:15:25.760 and it feels substantial without being stiff or uncomfortable.

00:15:28.720 It's the kind of clothing that disappears on your body because it just does what it's supposed to do.

00:15:32.780 When something is really made well, you stop thinking about it.

00:15:36.680 You put it on, you go about your day, and you just trust it'll keep up with you without falling apart.

00:15:41.760 That's what American Giant is all about, making things the right way here in America

00:15:46.100 so you don't have to keep buying the same thing over and over again.

00:16:09.560 Gold, $5,100 an ounce.

00:16:12.120 Okay, why is this happening?

00:16:14.400 Well, the first thing that you need to understand is gold is a barometer.

00:16:21.540 Gold is a barometer of belief.

00:16:23.760 And what happened last week?

00:16:26.580 What was the consensus that came out of the World Economic Forum for the entire world to see?

00:16:32.760 I want you to think of this like a guy who has billions of dollars that you could invest.

00:16:38.700 Because to stay safe, to stay ahead of the game, you have to think like that and then act in your own world.

00:16:45.740 And if I have time today, otherwise I'll do it tomorrow, I'm going to show you how you interpret this and how you can act at all levels.

00:16:53.000 Okay?

00:16:53.580 But you have to think like a billionaire.

00:16:56.200 And the billionaires are moving money.

00:16:59.400 Okay?

00:16:59.680 Why are they moving money?

00:17:01.040 What happened last week?

00:17:03.680 What happened last week was at the WEF.

00:17:06.480 The WEF openly came out and said, the old system doesn't work.

00:17:14.060 And it's failing.

00:17:16.320 So it was a consensus around the world that what the West has built no longer is any good and it won't work.

00:17:25.580 Got to find a way out.

00:17:27.020 So that's what all smart money, all central banks, the entire world that's paying attention, that is the message that they heard last week at the WEF.

00:17:38.240 Okay?

00:17:39.700 Now let me layer on a couple of other things that you probably don't know.

00:17:43.600 We are headed towards a tripwire.

00:17:46.600 And it's a race to the finish line.

00:17:49.240 So let me give you the first tripwire, and that is Japan. 1.00

00:17:52.300 Japan is, imagine an old man on a treadmill. 0.99

00:17:59.340 Okay?

00:18:00.360 This old Japanese man on a treadmill. 0.64

00:18:02.680 It was supposed to be temporary, him on this treadmill, but it turned into a life support machine.

00:18:08.020 And now he's got to keep running.

00:18:09.840 If he's not running, everything dies.

00:18:11.940 Okay?

00:18:12.640 For 40 years, Japan has been like that little guy on the treadmill, told, you got to keep moving. 0.95

00:18:18.800 You can't stop.

00:18:19.560 Stay.

00:18:20.440 Stay.

00:18:20.700 Because if you stop, it means recession.

00:18:25.020 So what's wrong with recession?

00:18:28.000 Here's the part that nobody's ever really told you, Americans don't realize.

00:18:33.140 If he stops, it's bad.

00:18:35.200 If he speeds up, it's bad.

00:18:37.260 And not bad for Japan, but us.

00:18:39.840 Here's why.

00:18:41.800 Japan's government has piled up so much debt that even normal interest costs become dangerous.

00:18:50.700 That's why Japan has spent decades now making money too easy at home.

00:18:57.020 Okay?

00:18:57.540 Zero percent.

00:18:58.540 At some point, they were in negative interest rates.

00:19:02.220 Okay?

00:19:02.800 Please take the money.

00:19:03.960 We'll pay you to take the money.

00:19:05.460 Interest rates, if borrowing ever gets expensive, the bill will swallow the budget in Japan and here.

00:19:16.220 And the world has gotten used to a place where Japan was the place to go borrow cheap money. 0.71

00:19:23.360 Now, here's where the story becomes our problem.

00:19:28.820 Japan is not just a country.

00:19:31.400 Japan is a country we've kept alive for a couple of reasons.

00:19:34.640 One of them is they are a gigantic buyer of American IOUs.

00:19:40.260 You'll hear them talked about as bonds.

00:19:42.940 Okay?

00:19:43.200 But they're IOUs.

00:19:44.520 We're like, hey, we want to build this train to nowhere.

00:19:48.600 We're only going to build a mile's worth of track and we're going to be $4 billion over budget.

00:19:55.380 But we're telling you up front, it's not going anywhere.

00:19:58.300 We need the $4 billion.

00:19:59.440 And Japan, because they needed us, Japan would go, we'll buy that. 0.99

00:20:07.240 We'll buy that.

00:20:09.540 They now hold about $1.2 trillion in treasuries.

00:20:14.040 They're the largest foreign holder.

00:20:15.820 It's not China, thank God. 1.00

00:20:17.060 It's Japan.

00:20:18.020 And that matters because their purchasing helps keep our borrowing costs from rising even faster.

00:20:25.860 But the treadmill is starting to wobble.

00:20:27.380 In late 2025 into this month, 2026, Japan's long bond yields have surged.

00:20:38.480 Japan's 40-year government bond yield moved above 4% since the first time that the bonds existed.

00:20:46.700 What does that mean?

00:20:47.760 That means if you borrowed money from Japan, you are now, or if you, yeah, if you want to borrow money from Japan, it now is going to cost you 4%.

00:21:05.620 It used to be zero.

00:21:08.300 This means the market doesn't want to play pretend anymore with Japan, okay? 0.97

00:21:14.680 They're not satisfied with that.

00:21:16.440 And when Japan's yields rise, the temptation begins.

00:21:20.560 Because I can get 4% in Japan if I buy a bond, why would I lend to America when I can lend to Japan for more?

00:21:33.560 So the money that used to flow outward can come home.

00:21:38.560 Now, let me explain Tripwire without all the Wall Street language.

00:21:43.180 For years, people borrowed in yen because it was cheap.

00:21:47.220 So what did they do?

00:21:49.160 Because it was 0% interest or negative percent interest, you would go over and you'd say, I want to borrow a billion dollars.

00:21:57.800 And people would borrow a billion dollars, a billion yen.

00:22:00.960 And they would buy it, and they'd get it.

00:22:04.800 Sometimes they were making money on borrowing it, but at least it was zero.

00:22:08.480 And they would trade those yen into U.S. dollars, and then they would buy things that paid more.

00:22:15.420 So the stock market or a U.S. bond or whatever, okay, this is called the yen carry trade.

00:22:22.780 Here's what you need to know about it.

00:22:24.080 It doesn't work, okay?

00:22:25.680 It's so unbelievably immoral, it's just frightening.

00:22:28.400 So what they were doing was they're buying a bunch of cheap yen printed over in Japan.

00:22:36.240 They would then take that yen, which they sometimes, again, were making money on borrowing.

00:22:42.420 Think of Goldman Sachs going over, a big bank going over and saying, I want a billion yen.

00:22:46.820 And we're going to take that billion yen, and we're going to get out of that half a billion dollars,

00:22:51.360 and we're going to take that half a billion dollars, and we're going to invest it in Wall Street.

00:22:54.640 We're making money from Japan because they're giving us 1% on borrowing that.

00:22:59.840 They're giving us an additional 1% every year for holding those yen and taking that loan out from them.

00:23:06.860 And then we go to Wall Street, we make 6% or 8% or 10%.

00:23:10.020 So we're making 11%.

00:23:11.620 This is great.

00:23:14.240 We win.

00:23:14.720 Again, unless things change, if the yen suddenly swings the other way, if it strengthens, the borrowers panic, okay?

00:23:25.420 And they rush to undo the trade.

00:23:28.460 Why?

00:23:30.060 Why?

00:23:31.580 Because that money's not free.

00:23:33.680 And when you rush to undo it, you sell the things you bought with dollars, and you get back into the yen.

00:23:42.860 That pushes U.S. markets around.

00:23:45.280 That pushes U.S. interest rates up.

00:23:47.760 That turns a problem over there into a problem over here.

00:23:52.440 So Japan is trapped, and the trap has a wire running across the Pacific tied to the exact same global system America sits inside.

00:24:01.360 So that's the first reason why gold is screaming.

00:24:05.400 It's saying, wait, wait, wait.

00:24:07.700 What's happening with Japan?

00:24:09.540 Japan can't move, and Japan's going to have to move. 0.93

00:24:13.820 But they can't move.

00:24:16.200 Now, there's another side of this.

00:24:19.680 From Japan, go across the sea, and you go to China.

00:24:25.420 China is much, much worse, okay? 1.00

00:24:29.220 Much, much worse.

00:24:30.460 And nobody's willing to talk about this.

00:24:33.280 And this leads to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

00:24:37.280 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:24:41.740 Gosh, I want to take you through some of the stuff that happened up in Minnesota before I get to this video of Alex Preddy and him being shot.

00:24:53.660 So let me, first of all, I played this earlier.

00:24:58.280 Let me just play just a little bit.

00:25:00.120 This is a woman who was somehow or another on an ICE database on the left.

00:25:04.380 And to show you how well coordinated this is, there's this database, and this woman and her husband, she's a journalist.

00:25:11.920 She was being followed by these ICE protesters because she was on a database, and they thought she was ICE.

00:25:19.860 And every time she would stop someplace, they would start to gather around and go, you're ICE, you're ICE.

00:25:24.140 Get out.

00:25:24.460 How shame on you, all this stuff.

00:25:26.120 Well, she eventually pulls over, and she's like, we're not ICE.

00:25:28.980 Okay?

00:25:29.240 We're not ICE.

00:25:30.360 We have nothing to do with ICE.

00:25:31.680 I just want to play a little bit of this because I want to show you how dangerous this situation is becoming.

00:25:35.820 Cut three.

00:25:39.020 So she's pulled over, and she is now being honked at by one of the cars.

00:25:49.440 We aren't ICE.

00:25:50.880 And they're looking off.

00:25:52.960 We're not ICE.

00:25:54.760 We're not ICE.

00:25:56.720 I'm showing my face.

00:25:57.900 So she's coming out.

00:25:59.520 We're not ICE.

00:26:00.120 They've been following us for over an hour.

00:26:03.040 We're not ICE.

00:26:04.600 Now the whistles start, and if you're watching the video, you will see all of these people start just to descend around her car.

00:26:12.240 Right.

00:26:13.100 And nothing she says is going to satisfy this mob.

00:26:21.120 We're not ICE.

00:26:24.820 Because they've been following us for over an hour.

00:26:28.280 We didn't even know they were following us until they came up and said, we're going to spend following you in your eyes.

00:26:32.000 Why are they following you because you're eyes?

00:26:33.720 I mean, it's just ridiculous.

00:26:34.720 Okay, stop.

00:26:35.900 So what else happened this weekend?

00:26:39.560 Well, I showed you earlier a video of a self-proclaimed Antifa member saying, get your guns.

00:26:45.880 You got to stop these people.

00:26:47.040 Now is the time for violence.

00:26:48.540 Um, and you have an ICE agent who had his finger bit off.

00:26:54.840 We have that full screen.

00:26:56.340 You put that up.

00:26:58.100 Here's the ICE agent and protesters grabbed him and bit his finger off.

00:27:03.020 I mean, that's, uh, I don't know.

00:27:04.720 That's a little insane.

00:27:05.840 Then, uh, then you have this, uh, let me play the, the, um, geez, the ICE agent who's bloodied in front of a hotel because they thought there were ICE agents in the hotel.

00:27:19.020 Turns out there were no ICE agents in the hotel.

00:27:21.200 Um, but you can see one of the, uh, there they are, this hotel.

00:27:30.600 And then you're seeing that the one ICE agent with a bloody nose, blood all over his mask, down his shirt and onto his hands.

00:27:39.800 Don't know how he got bloodied, but I'm, I'm guessing it wasn't that he fell and, you know, had a boo-boo.

00:27:46.060 So you have all of this stuff happening.

00:27:47.980 And we now know this weekend it's been confirmed.

00:27:51.120 It is being coordinated on signal.

00:27:54.580 Very, very dangerous.

00:27:56.640 Now let me take it from the other side.

00:28:01.120 Alex Petty is this guy who shows up.

00:28:03.600 He's part of the protests and he's got the whistle and he's obnoxious and everything else.

00:28:07.800 And he is starting to go after ICE agents and really get into their face.

00:28:12.800 They push him back.

00:28:13.980 He pushes back, push him harder.

00:28:16.060 And it just gets into, honestly, it's like a little seventh grade pushing match at first.

00:28:20.740 It's just so stupid that any of this happened.

00:28:23.960 Well, he gets shot.

00:28:25.640 Play, uh, cut nine here.

00:28:27.060 This is the, uh, ICE shooting video from Alex Petty.

00:28:33.700 There's his whistle.

00:28:34.920 And then, oh, that's so great.

00:28:36.340 All these people, all they're doing is just trying to, you know, stop ICE from doing their job.

00:29:01.140 And, uh, the ICE agent pulls out a gun and shoots, uh, Alex as he's laying down on the ground.

00:29:11.760 Here he comes.

00:29:12.660 They're, they're pushing him.

00:29:14.500 They grab him.

00:29:15.880 They put him down on the ground and there's a bunch of them.

00:29:18.480 Now, listen, because you'll hear one of the cops say, gun, gun, gun.

00:29:33.860 Then you hear the shots.

00:29:35.260 Okay.

00:29:35.540 And they shoot him.

00:29:36.160 Okay.

00:29:38.740 Let me take this from the BBC perspective because they show the other side of this crowd, uh, from a different perspective.

00:29:45.820 And I think this is important.

00:29:47.520 Here's the BBC's perspective, uh, on what happened.

00:29:51.220 Go ahead and roll that.

00:29:52.120 Rose Atkins' report contains footage, which again, you may find distressing.

00:29:58.300 The first video we have of Alex Petty.

00:30:00.380 He's in the road, holding a phone and talking with a federal agent.

00:30:04.600 The officer pushes him.

00:30:06.160 And he steps backwards.

00:30:07.580 Christy Noem is U.S. Homeland Security Secretary.

00:30:10.380 This is her account of why Alex Petty died.

00:30:13.040 An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a nine millimeter semi-automatic handgun.

00:30:18.800 The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently.

00:30:25.100 But in this video, as in others, Alex Petty had nothing in one hand, a phone in the other.

00:30:31.160 We see two people interacting with an agent.

00:30:33.700 We then see an agent push one of those people.

00:30:37.080 Then push the second person.

00:30:39.480 Alex Petty steps between them and the agent and is pepper sprayed.

00:30:43.580 He's wrestled to the ground by a number of agents.

00:30:46.080 He's on his knees, bent over.

00:30:47.820 His hands are on the floor and he's struggling against being held down.

00:30:51.340 One agent repeatedly strikes in the direction of his head.

00:30:54.620 And take note of this agent.

00:30:56.300 He has nothing in his right hand, reaches down and removes what appears to be a gun from Alex Petty's waistband.

00:31:02.740 Then he steps back, holding the pistol, which appears to match this image shared by the authorities.

00:31:08.760 Carrying this type of gun is legal in Minnesota with a valid permit.

00:31:12.440 The police say they believe Alex Petty had one.

00:31:15.160 Less than a second after the gun is removed, an agent fires the first shot.

00:31:20.860 As Alex Petty lies motionless, further shots are fired while agents are standing clear.

00:31:25.840 So this is compelling video because what this BBC reporter is saying is true.

00:31:33.620 It's absolutely true.

00:31:35.540 He is, he is getting in between him, the police and somebody else, the police are shoving.

00:31:42.020 He is only holding a phone.

00:31:43.980 He is down on the ground.

00:31:45.720 He is resisting arrest, but his hands are down on the ground.

00:31:49.000 His head is down on the ground.

00:31:50.360 Then another agent reaches over on top of the other agents who are closest to him on the ground,

00:31:56.160 reaches into his back where he sees an exposed gun, pulls the gun out, and then walks away with the gun.

00:32:03.560 So he's no longer armed unless he has two guns and they don't claim that he had two guns, only one.

00:32:08.940 And pulls it out and walks away.

00:32:11.380 Right after that, somebody yells gun, gun, gun, gun.

00:32:16.580 That's when the police officer fires at him.

00:32:18.960 Now, the other police officer did not know that somebody reached in and took his gun.

00:32:24.820 It might have been somebody who was saying gun, might have been saying it because they saw the other guy,

00:32:30.140 because he's not marked as a federal agent, the other guy pulled the gun out and walking there with a gun.

00:32:37.020 So somebody might have seen him with a gun and said, gun, gun, gun.

00:32:40.700 All the cops think that it's pretty and they shoot him.

00:32:44.980 Okay, this is not something that you deal with as an eight-year-old.

00:32:54.200 This is a conversation for adults to have.

00:32:57.400 And I'm not hearing the adults.

00:32:59.200 First of all, what Noam said is not true.

00:33:02.780 If you want to say technically he approached carrying a nine-millimeter, he did, but it was holstered and in his back.

00:33:11.460 And you have a right to carry a gun at a protest.

00:33:15.080 I don't think that makes you smart, but it is perfectly legal and constitutionally protected.

00:33:21.920 So I'm sorry, just because you have a gun in your back, if you reach for the gun, if you pull for the gun,

00:33:29.840 then you could probably be expected to be shot if you are pushing the police around.

00:33:36.440 But if you have a gun and you don't have your hands on it, you should not be shot.

00:33:41.340 You have a right to carry that gun peacefully.

00:33:44.520 Okay?

00:33:44.680 The minute you start pointing it at people, you're in trouble.

00:33:48.720 He did not.

00:33:50.180 He did not.

00:33:52.820 So this idea that he was foolish for walking into this protest with a gun, well, you have a right to carry it.

00:34:05.680 And quite honestly, if I'm walking into places like that and I'm not going to get involved, I probably do carry my gun.

00:34:11.620 Um, if I'm going to get involved, I think of the consequences and think, boy, that's, that's probably going to get me killed unless I'm planning on killing somebody, assuming I'm going to get involved.

00:34:23.280 There's the way I would think would be, I'm not carrying my gun because that could get me killed.

00:34:29.460 Okay.

00:34:29.900 Cause I don't, I'm not going to, when I'm in a, when I'm in a dangerous situation, it's not going to be with the other Antifa people.

00:34:36.340 I'd be in a dangerous situation because of the police and I make my decision right then and there.

00:34:41.900 Am I willing to pull the gun on the police?

00:34:43.740 No, I'm not.

00:34:45.320 So leave the gun at home, but he has a right to do it.

00:34:49.180 And he has a right to carry it and even be in a confrontation with the police as long as he never reaches for it.

00:34:56.160 But this is where I go to the cop side.

00:34:59.760 You're in a chaotic situation.

00:35:02.140 This is why I would not carry a gun in a situation like this because you're in a chaotic situation.

00:35:08.220 Nobody really knows what's going on.

00:35:10.700 You have a group of people who have been all day been told, we're going to kill you.

00:35:15.420 We're going to kill you.

00:35:16.240 Your life means nothing.

00:35:17.580 Get out of our city, whatever.

00:35:19.260 And they're, they're violent towards you when they are, when you are coming, uh, at them and they are pushing you down to the ground, get down on the ground, get down on the ground.

00:35:31.160 Stop resisting.

00:35:32.200 See, this is not Martin Luther King.

00:35:33.920 That that's what, that's what the left has forgotten.

00:35:37.260 They're trying to make this as moral as Martin Luther King, but they can't do it.

00:35:42.260 Um, because it's not as moral as Martin Luther King.

00:35:45.020 Um, and it's none of the tactics of King King knew the only way to win is to go peaceful, nonviolent, always King would have let that guy rot in prison and wouldn't have marched for that guy because he had a gun because he made the rest of the movement look dangerous.

00:36:05.680 Even though he had a right to have a gun, Martin Luther King said, would have said, you don't bring a gun.

00:36:12.800 You don't push back.

00:36:16.160 You don't do it because that's the way peaceful protests win.

00:36:21.220 And everybody who knows anything about protesting knows this.

00:36:24.860 The left, they've been preaching Martin Luther King forever.

00:36:28.720 They know this.

00:36:29.640 This is not the tactic of Martin Luther King.

00:36:32.440 This is the tactic that escalates, not deescalates things.

00:36:39.860 So where do I stand on the gun thing?

00:36:44.980 I don't know what Alex, I don't know anything about him.

00:36:47.900 So I don't know what his intention was.

00:36:50.300 I can look at the video and say his attention, his intention was to protest, was to be obnoxious, uh, was to be one of those people that were right up there, but not necessarily up in the face of the cops.

00:37:02.440 Until he sees cops starting to push people around.

00:37:05.040 And then he decides I'm going to get between them and whoever it was they were pushing.

00:37:09.480 He doesn't like that.

00:37:10.420 So he gets involved.

00:37:11.600 The minute he gets involved, the roles change.

00:37:14.980 He is now somebody that cops in this situation could and should look at as a danger to themselves.

00:37:22.020 So he made that choice.

00:37:25.000 I don't know if that was a choice that he made when he got up in the morning.

00:37:28.020 I don't know what his intentions were, but, uh, once he made that choice, he's going to end up on the ground because it's such a chaotic situation.

00:37:38.780 I have to side with both him for carrying a gun and being there and seemingly from only footage that I've seen seemingly not being a real violent guy, but being a dirt bag, but you have a right to be a dirt bag, being a dirt bag, but not a violent guy.

00:37:57.660 I side with him, but I also side with the cop that shot him because it's a chaotic situation.

00:38:06.120 Somebody pulls his gun, a cop pulls his gun, somebody else then yells, gun, gun, gun.

00:38:14.020 What do you expect the cops to do?

00:38:17.500 You've created this situation.

00:38:19.740 That's why this didn't happen with Martin Luther King protest because they didn't create this situation.

00:38:28.500 Unfortunately, I think more of this is going to happen, but we have to be very careful with our words and speak the truth at all times.

00:38:35.920 Even if it hurts our side, that guy, I don't think he should have been shot, but I also don't think they should prosecute these guys because it's a chaotic situation.

00:38:47.120 What would you do in that situation?

00:38:49.260 It's just a really nasty, bad situation.

00:38:53.340 And more of those are going to happen.

00:38:55.220 If this doesn't stop, it requires leadership.

00:39:00.060 Back in just a second with more.

00:39:01.500 First, let me tell you about simply safe security should fit into your life.

00:39:04.460 Uh, without turning into a daily project.

00:39:07.020 Hey, can you play the first amendment song when we come out of this 10 seconds here?

00:39:11.960 Um, it should work quietly in the background, you know, adapt when your routines change, be ready when it actually matters.

00:39:18.360 Simply safe was built with that in mind.

00:39:21.200 The system is straightforward, easy to adjust, easy to set up, designed to grow with your home.

00:39:26.160 Whether it means adding sensors, moving things around, or simply knowing it's, you know, it's paying attention when you're not.

00:39:32.740 You know what's happening.

00:39:34.320 You don't have to constantly be paying attention because you know the home is monitored and you're not left wondering whether the system is doing what it's supposed to do.

00:39:43.220 It is that peace of mind changes how home feels.

00:39:45.360 You move through your day with less background noise and background worry.

00:39:48.780 And at night you can relax knowing your house is, you know, it's not on its own.

00:39:52.420 It's safe system.

00:39:53.940 This easy.

00:39:54.600 I mean, it's, it's really, really phenomenal.

00:39:57.920 It's called simply safe and you can get it now.

00:40:00.120 Simply safe.com is a special still going on.

00:40:02.640 You have 50% off this system this week.

00:40:06.520 Go to simply safe.com slash Beck.

00:40:08.780 That's simply safe.com slash Beck.

00:40:10.760 There is no safe like simply safe.

00:40:13.480 10 seconds station ID.

00:40:14.360 Yeah, we're talking about the first amendment number one.

00:40:20.180 The founders wrote it down so freedom wouldn't come undone.

00:40:25.720 It's not just history.

00:40:28.280 It's something that we use.

00:40:32.000 So let's count the five big freedoms we're allowed to.

00:40:35.440 So turn it up and say it loud.

00:40:39.120 These are rights we should be proud of now.

00:40:45.420 Freedom of religion.

00:40:47.060 I can choose what I believe.

00:40:48.800 I'm a speech.

00:40:49.720 Say my thoughts honestly.

00:40:51.520 I print the truth.

00:40:53.520 Let it flow.

00:40:54.360 I assemble.

00:40:55.320 Meet in peace.

00:40:56.420 Let them know.

00:40:57.140 And petition.

00:40:58.100 Yeah, we get to disagree.

00:40:59.900 Ask the government to change things.

00:41:01.620 That's democracy.

00:41:02.660 That's five in the first.

00:41:04.020 Five in the first.

00:41:05.700 Those first five rights in the first amendment.

00:41:10.160 First five in the first.

00:41:12.560 That gives you the answer of what could happen on the streets.

00:41:15.920 That gives you everything you need to know on who's right and who's wrong.

00:41:20.200 Okay?

00:41:20.400 These people have a right to protest.

00:41:22.760 They do.

00:41:23.720 They don't have a right to be violent in their protest.

00:41:26.920 They don't have a right to target people in their protest.

00:41:30.520 They have a right to question the government.

00:41:33.920 They should question the government.

00:41:35.960 What are you doing?

00:41:37.080 Do you have warrants for this?

00:41:38.300 Where are your warrants?

00:41:39.100 You have a right to ask for those things.

00:41:41.480 But again, peacefully, that's not what's happening.

00:41:46.600 So this is the part that everybody is getting confused on.

00:41:50.880 I have a right.

00:41:51.840 Yes, you do have a right, and I support you doing all of those things, just not the way you are doing them.

00:41:59.780 You have a responsibility to society to do it the right way.

00:42:05.100 The reason why Martin Luther King did the protest the way he did is he believed in the system.

00:42:12.260 He believed we can make the system better.

00:42:15.640 These people don't believe in the system.

00:42:18.000 They want to destroy the system.

00:42:20.320 The whole thing has to come down.

00:42:22.040 And so chaos and killing and riots, it works to their advantage.

00:42:29.880 And unfortunately, that is why it's going to put our federal government into a position that they're actually going to love because they're going to turn it into fascism.

00:42:40.000 But the Insurrection Act is going to have to be called out.

00:42:43.920 It has to.

00:42:45.440 This has to stop.

00:42:47.280 It has to stop.

00:42:52.040 It has to stop.

00:42:57.820 It has to stop.

00:43:04.000 It has to stop.

00:43:08.820 It has to stop.

00:43:13.980 It has to stop.
