00:00:18.860 And your Tampa Bay vacation includes good times, relaxation, and great Gulf Coast weather.

00:00:25.240 Visit flyporter.com and actually enjoy economy.

00:00:30.000 Why is Donald Trump talking about adding Greenland and Canada to the U.S.?

00:00:35.720 Well, he actually has a point, and it goes back to his negotiation tactics.

00:00:41.360 You have to hear today's show.

00:00:43.160 Also, why is he so interested in Panama?

00:00:46.680 CNN also changed the headline throughout the morning of January 6th, proving they haven't learned a darn thing.

00:00:51.640 And Charlie Kirk was in Greenland. We talked to him on today's podcast.

00:00:57.180 Let me talk to you a little bit about Jace Medical.

00:01:00.000 Jace Medical's been around for a while. In fact, Stu used it. Didn't you use it on vacation, Stu?

00:01:04.880 No, I wanted to use it on vacation, and I didn't have it with me on vacation because I'm an idiot. 0.98

00:01:10.480 My son actually had to... He was sick, and it was late at night, and we were in an area where there wasn't, like, a lot of 24-hour pharmacies or anything. 0.92

00:01:18.860 Like, you know, and we had to wind up driving over an hour to get him the medicine that he needed.

00:01:23.860 If I just had my Jace case with me, that would have made things a little bit easier.

00:01:28.180 I will say that we always talk about Jace as a preparation thing, which is, you know, probably the main thing that you want to think about when you think about preparing yourself for medication,

00:01:36.000 if there's a shortage or if there's a supply chain disruption, but also travel is a great way to think about it,

00:01:41.620 especially if you're going overseas to, you know, one of these, you know, centralized health care systems you don't want anything to do with.

00:01:48.780 Great to bring your Jace case.

00:01:50.200 Make sure you go check it out.

00:01:51.240 It's jace.com, J-A-S-E dot com.

00:02:10.040 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:14.400 Let's start with Greenland, shall we?

00:02:17.880 Greenland, Panama, and Canada.

00:02:20.360 I have to tell you, let's start with his, Donald Trump's press conference yesterday.

00:02:27.740 They are always fun.

00:02:30.100 Cut one.

00:02:31.280 This is a Greenland man.

00:02:33.000 So, like, if you could tell Trump anything, what would it be?

00:02:35.800 Buy us.

00:02:37.240 Buy Greenland?

00:02:38.180 Buy Greenland.

00:02:39.040 Why do you want Trump to buy Greenland?

00:02:40.560 Because we don't want to be colonized by the Danish government anymore.

00:02:43.640 We get ripped every year about our minerals from Greenland.

00:02:47.760 We are the richest nation in the world, and we don't get to use it.

00:02:51.080 Denmark's using us too much.

00:02:53.040 Do you like America?

00:02:54.460 I love America.

00:02:55.900 But people are too far over there.

00:02:58.340 Right.

00:02:58.820 Okay.

00:02:59.120 So, stop.

00:03:00.000 So, here's the thing.

00:03:01.500 Greenland, they've got, like, 12 people.

00:03:04.060 And Denmark owns it.

00:03:06.080 And, you know, they have no intention of giving it up.

00:03:09.240 But it's like Alaska.

00:03:11.840 I mean, it is rich with rare earth minerals.

00:03:15.680 As he said, it's the richest nation in the world.

00:03:18.640 But Denmark won't let anything be explored.

00:03:22.040 It is also a strategic place for bases, et cetera, et cetera.

00:03:27.860 There's been, like, four or five presidents that have tried to buy Greenland in the past.

00:03:32.340 And it's never been done.

00:03:34.380 I'm going to get to why all of this makes sense here in a second and how you're supposed to read it.

00:03:39.700 Because he also went in yesterday about Canada.

00:03:46.360 And they asked him, would you rule out military strikes to take Alaska?

00:03:55.940 Here's his response.

00:03:57.840 Since you're considering military force to acquire Panama and Greenland, are you also considering military force to annex and acquire Panama?

00:04:07.060 No. Economic force.

00:04:09.480 Because Canada and the United States, that would really be something.

00:04:14.440 You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like.

00:04:19.720 And it would also be much better for national security.

00:04:22.260 Don't forget, we basically protect Canada.

00:04:24.100 Okay. So, he's just, all he's doing is, well, let me say, let me give you the third one, and that is Panama.

00:04:36.560 But before we get to Panama, why not stop at the Gulf of America? Cut three.

00:04:41.860 Mexico's really in trouble. A lot of trouble.

00:04:44.560 Very dangerous place.

00:04:45.640 And we're going to be announcing at a future date, pretty soon, we're going to change, because we do most of the work there, and it's ours, we're going to be changing sort of the opposite of Biden, where he's closing everything up, essentially getting rid of $50 to $60 trillion worth of assets.

00:05:05.820 We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory.

00:05:17.440 The Gulf of America, what a beautiful name.

00:05:20.240 And it's appropriate. It's appropriate.

00:05:24.180 And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.

00:05:28.520 They can stop them, and we're going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada, because Canada, they come through Canada, too, and the drugs that are coming through are at record numbers.

00:05:42.040 Okay. So, now the press is freaking out.

00:05:45.140 This is an imperialist president. He's trying to create new Rome, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:05:50.940 Are you, are you, do you have absolutely no brain cells that work in your head anymore? 0.98

00:06:00.340 The final one is Panama, and I've told you this. 0.99

00:06:03.460 In fact, I'm doing a prediction show tonight, and I've been telling you for the last few weeks, Panama is going to be a problem for the United States. 1.00

00:06:13.280 And there is going to be, there's going to be some serious things happening in Panama this year, and I'll get into that a little later.

00:06:22.940 But he's also talking about the Panama Canal.

00:06:26.120 Okay. Why is that?

00:06:28.140 Because he wants to take over all these countries and these places?

00:06:33.140 He wants war everywhere? No.

00:06:35.620 No.

00:06:36.040 The one thing you have to understand about Donald Trump is he's a negotiator.

00:06:44.720 He's merely negotiating.

00:06:48.260 That's all that's happening here.

00:06:50.860 You speak softly and carry a very large stick.

00:06:56.340 Hey, Mexico, by the way, you're so irrelevant. 1.00

00:06:59.440 You know, you're going down the tubes.

00:07:00.760 We're even thinking about changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

00:07:04.820 That's how irrelevant you are, okay?

00:07:08.240 And you've got some serious problems.

00:07:10.460 It's a very dangerous place.

00:07:12.520 Well, there goes tourism if the president keeps saying things like that.

00:07:16.960 And, you know, we're going to have to put some tariffs on it.

00:07:20.200 But, you know, I just think the Gulf of America is just a beautiful, beautiful name.

00:07:26.440 All he's doing is signaling you, you're a speed bump to me.

00:07:35.280 I don't need to do anything.

00:07:39.160 I've just got these giant tariffs and we'll probably end up owning you anyway because you're a failing state, okay?

00:07:46.080 He's negotiating.

00:07:47.900 He's setting the table.

00:07:49.960 On Greenland, the same thing.

00:07:52.520 He's just setting the table.

00:07:54.560 He is saying to Greenland, you know, I think we should take it.

00:07:57.660 Now, is he serious on that one?

00:07:59.500 Yes, not take it, but buy it.

00:08:01.540 Is he serious?

00:08:02.560 Yes.

00:08:02.820 And it would be, I got to use a word that, you know, the New York Times has been talking about for a long time.

00:08:09.280 They just used it in a different context.

00:08:11.500 It would be a huge coup if Donald Trump could buy Greenland.

00:08:16.780 It would be huge for America.

00:08:19.300 All the rare earth minerals and everything else, all of the riches of Greenland and the strategic placement of Greenland would be a very, very smart move.

00:08:30.100 Again, New York Times, Glenn Beck did say Donald Trump would pull off a coup.

00:08:37.260 I mean it in a different context than you worry about.

00:08:42.060 That is smart.

00:08:44.260 And if we could buy it, great.

00:08:46.040 If we could just negotiate to have some bases there and to be able to sell and buy some of their rare earth minerals, that would be very smart and strategic.

00:08:57.400 Now, Canada, okay, Canada is, being the 51st state, okay, would it be great to have all of us combined, Greenland, Canada, the United States combined?

00:09:15.540 Yes.

00:09:16.660 A 51st state?

00:09:18.500 No.

00:09:19.940 No.

00:09:20.400 Canada responded with, well, maybe we'll buy Alaska and Minnesota. 0.94

00:09:25.580 All right, let's open up those talks.

00:09:28.240 How much for Alaska?

00:09:29.760 I'm willing to negotiate.

00:09:31.620 And I tell you what, negotiate for Alaska.

00:09:34.600 I'd give you Minnesota for a sandwich.

00:09:38.040 So, I'm good.

00:09:39.860 All he's doing there is, again, throwing out a big idea, negotiating, because you're not paying for your own defense.

00:09:51.900 We are paying for your defense.

00:09:53.820 What are we getting in return?

00:09:58.440 Well, right now, we're getting open borders from you in Canada. 0.99

00:10:01.780 And we're getting a lot of crap from you, too. 0.98

00:10:04.400 So, we're still friends. 0.99

00:10:06.960 We still like Canada.

00:10:08.000 We're not going to take military action to take Canada.

00:10:13.140 It's not what he's doing.

00:10:14.820 He is, again, negotiating.

00:10:17.600 If you forget that Donald Trump is possibly the greatest negotiator to be in our lifetime, you might begin to understand what he's doing here.

00:10:29.060 But if you forget that he's a dealmaker, that's what he does.

00:10:34.220 He walks in and says, you know what, I'm going to vaporize that little dude over.

00:10:39.180 And then, they end up having tea in a communist country.

00:10:45.340 That's negotiation.

00:10:47.480 What is he doing with Russia?

00:10:49.700 What is he doing right now?

00:10:51.840 The only place I think he's absolutely clear.

00:10:55.060 I mean, he doesn't make threats.

00:10:59.280 He makes promises.

00:11:01.300 And he's not threatening anything but Panama, which we'll get into here in just a second.

00:11:06.480 Panama is a problem, a real problem.

00:11:10.480 And we need to talk about that.

00:11:12.320 The other real problem is Hamas. 0.95

00:11:16.680 And yesterday, he said about Hamas that there's going to be hell to be paid.

00:11:23.240 Hamas doesn't release those hostages.

00:11:26.500 The gates of hell are going to open up.

00:11:28.420 And I believe him.

00:11:29.280 The thing is, with a negotiator, you have to be able to see – I mean, Trump always kind of means things.

00:11:40.900 You don't win.

00:11:42.360 You don't become a good negotiator if the people on the other side always think you're bluffing because you always are.

00:11:48.060 That's why America is in the dumpster fire we're in right now because the rest of the world just thinks that, you know,

00:11:55.920 Oh, you know what?

00:11:56.960 Well, don't do this or we're going to give you a strongly worded letter.

00:12:01.500 If the world or anybody sitting across from the negotiating table from you, whether this is in your life or in global politics,

00:12:08.800 if they believe you're someone who will do what they say, you have all the negotiating power.

00:12:18.060 Because, you know what?

00:12:21.320 I would love to work here, but I can't work here, and I won't work here unless these things happen.

00:12:29.680 He's just negotiating.

00:12:31.160 Really?

00:12:31.640 Watch me walk out, and I will.

00:12:33.660 And no offense, no problems.

00:12:35.600 I don't hate you.

00:12:36.560 You shouldn't hate me.

00:12:38.140 I'm not trying to hold a gun to your head.

00:12:40.400 I'm just saying I can do better, and these things are a requirement for me.

00:12:46.600 When Donald Trump says, look, you're going to have to close the border, he means that.

00:12:54.300 Now, when he says, we're also going to, you know what?

00:12:57.880 We might just annex Mexico or Canada. 0.73

00:13:01.140 That's part of the negotiation process.

00:13:04.360 Because, honestly, he just might do it.

00:13:08.780 This is the kind of president we have always wanted, one that is a hard negotiator on our side, on our side.

00:13:19.820 When he says, America first, he means it. 0.88

00:13:22.900 Let me talk to you a little bit about our sponsor.

00:13:27.700 It's My Patriot Supply.

00:13:28.840 With the Trump administration coming in, I feel pretty good.

00:13:32.500 But you know as well as I do, the last thing we should do is let our guard down.

00:13:36.480 We're still in real trouble.

00:13:37.620 They left us with a lot of problems.

00:13:39.560 And the Panama thing really could be the Cuban Missile Crisis of our day. 0.60

00:13:45.840 And it shows the intent of China.

00:13:49.080 Anyway, how do you prepare?

00:13:52.020 Well, the best thing you could do is go to My Patriot Supply and get emergency food in your home.

00:13:57.100 And it's the best time to do it because you don't want to do it when you're worried about everything else.

00:14:03.480 Just do this and get this worry off your plate.

00:14:06.180 It lasts for 25 years.

00:14:07.740 You can get $100 off their three-month emergency food kit right now, 2,000 calories per day for three whole months, plenty of time and plenty to get you through, even a prolonged emergency.

00:14:19.320 They come in rugged, weatherproof buckets.

00:14:21.680 Just go to MyPatriotSupply.com to order your three-month emergency food kit.

00:14:26.420 You're going to save money on it.

00:14:29.060 MyPatriotSupply.com.

00:14:30.940 Good now.

00:14:31.540 Now back to the podcast.

00:14:32.440 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

00:14:38.840 Let's talk about the state of the overall media.

00:14:43.240 And we've got two examples on this, the New York Times.

00:14:45.720 But let's start with the latest from CNN.

00:14:49.520 This is such an amazing story about a changing headline.

00:14:55.360 Not a changing story, just a changing headline.

00:14:59.100 Listen to this.

00:14:59.680 Exact same story.

00:15:00.680 We'll take you on a little journey of CNN.com.

00:15:04.540 And the story is basically, this is from January 6th, from Monday.

00:15:08.340 So he's, you know, they're going to certify the election.

00:15:10.980 They're covering that basic story.

00:15:12.660 So same story all day.

00:15:14.700 Here is the headline at 5 a.m.

00:15:18.400 Today marks the most stunning comeback in U.S. political history.

00:15:23.280 Okay, stop.

00:15:24.420 Stop.

00:15:25.300 True?

00:15:26.060 Yeah.

00:15:26.520 Absolutely.

00:15:27.420 Totally legitimate headline.

00:15:29.640 Yeah.

00:15:29.760 So January 6th was supposed, and this is kind of the story, was supposed to be the end of Donald Trump.

00:15:35.260 There was, you know, people all blamed him for it at the time.

00:15:39.080 And not only, he was dead.

00:15:41.480 I mean, metaphorically at the time, in January 6th, 2020.

00:15:44.620 The guy was politically dead.

00:15:46.980 And he's Lazarus.

00:15:49.060 He's now bigger than he ever has been.

00:15:54.940 And I can't think of anyone in political history, at least in the United States, that has had this kind of turnaround.

00:16:02.120 Yeah.

00:16:02.340 I mean, it's a totally legitimate headline.

00:16:03.520 So the headline's completely accurate.

00:16:04.620 Yeah.

00:16:04.960 Right.

00:16:05.200 A good headline for a story about this, right?

00:16:07.160 But it was written, I'm sure, by the overnight people who are not part of the in crowd, you know, and they were doing some actual headline writing, journalistically, actual headlines.

00:16:19.960 So then the morning people come in.

00:16:22.820 Yeah.

00:16:23.080 6 a.m., the headline changes to, Trump is more powerful than ever.

00:16:29.080 Okay.

00:16:29.620 I mean.

00:16:30.180 Okay.

00:16:30.640 True.

00:16:30.960 You could kind of still argue.

00:16:32.320 I mean, he's not president of the United States currently.

00:16:34.060 So, but he will be soon.

00:16:36.140 And you could argue he's maybe at the peak of his powers.

00:16:39.060 Like, I mean, I think it has different meanings for both sides.

00:16:42.740 Right.

00:16:42.980 You might have.

00:16:43.360 That's a headline.

00:16:45.020 Right.

00:16:45.300 That's a headline.

00:16:46.140 If you're a supporter, you go, yeah, that's true.

00:16:47.900 If you're a negative, you look at that and go, yeah, and that's concerning.

00:16:51.740 Yeah.

00:16:51.960 That's scary.

00:16:52.420 It's getting a little scary.

00:16:53.540 It's no longer a stunning comeback.

00:16:55.980 It's now like, it could be kind of scary to at least half the country.

00:16:59.440 Okay.

00:16:59.780 Correct.

00:17:00.100 That's 6 a.m.

00:17:00.640 So still a valid headline.

00:17:02.260 Yeah.

00:17:02.600 But now they've added the negativity.

00:17:04.380 Yeah.

00:17:04.660 Okay.

00:17:05.200 8 a.m.

00:17:05.860 comes and the same story.

00:17:07.640 The headline is now the message Trump sends by inciting a riot.

00:17:13.360 And regaining power.

00:17:15.500 So again, he's still, the power story is still in there.

00:17:18.140 Same story.

00:17:18.680 But now.

00:17:19.640 Nothing has, nothing's changed in the story, right?

00:17:22.260 Right.

00:17:22.600 I think there were occasional updates to the story as the day went on.

00:17:25.720 But it's the same, it's the same story.

00:17:27.160 Same, tell the same story.

00:17:27.820 But same basics.

00:17:28.580 Yeah.

00:17:28.920 Bone structure of the story.

00:17:30.640 And they've changed it from a, hey, wow, look how this has turned around in four years

00:17:36.300 to now he incited a riot and somehow or another he's finagled himself back into power.

00:17:45.380 What is that going to teach our children?

00:17:47.520 Right.

00:17:47.860 Right.

00:17:48.360 Like, now it's like a moral play, right?

00:17:51.540 Like they've come out, they've turned this into, they've made a judgment.

00:17:55.060 They've called, they've held him responsible for January 6th, the riot.

00:18:01.180 Without ever charging.

00:18:02.280 Right.

00:18:02.680 Without ever charging.

00:18:03.860 Again, like there are some people who make the argument.

00:18:06.560 He had some culpability there.

00:18:08.260 But like.

00:18:08.600 Sure, sure, sure, sure.

00:18:09.480 That's certainly a judgment that you make.

00:18:10.960 Most of the country, I think, as we saw in the election, if they believed he was responsible

00:18:14.880 for that riot, he wouldn't have been elected.

00:18:17.240 Right.

00:18:17.420 Like they don't believe it.

00:18:18.680 It was an 11 point swing.

00:18:19.920 I think CNN on its own air, by the way, Harry Enten highlighted that only like 5% of people

00:18:25.340 identify January 6th as the most important part of the Trump presidency, the first term.

00:18:31.040 5%.

00:18:31.920 Right.

00:18:32.320 This is a massive mistake on their front.

00:18:34.660 Correct.

00:18:34.980 To highlight this all the time, to try to make this the issue, to defeat Donald Trump

00:18:39.080 didn't work, but yet that's where they are.

00:18:41.280 And then it ends up with this.

00:18:43.960 Four years after his supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol, Trump is more powerful than ever.

00:18:50.680 No, Stu.

00:18:52.240 Wow.

00:18:53.160 CNN doesn't use the word invade very often.

00:18:57.260 Right.

00:18:57.740 Like when 10 million people cross the southern border, they're like.

00:19:02.920 It's not an invasion.

00:19:03.980 That's racist to call it an invasion.

00:19:06.260 Yeah, yeah.

00:19:06.460 Right, right.

00:19:06.700 But when there's 400 people inside the U.S. Capitol, 300 of which are grandparents, like

00:19:11.940 not knowing where they are, that is now apparently an invasion.

00:19:16.200 And it's funny, if this isn't the story of the elites, I don't know what is.

00:19:22.460 You got the overnight people that are writing a story.

00:19:25.100 They do a good headline.

00:19:26.380 Then the morning people come in and they're like, that's, I mean, we got to have, let's

00:19:31.500 make sure we're not forgetting who brought us to the party.

00:19:35.080 They all hate Trump.

00:19:36.080 So let's at least balance it a little bit and give it a dual meaning.

00:19:40.480 Okay, fair.

00:19:41.500 All right.

00:19:42.580 Then eight o'clock comes the third headline.

00:19:45.440 Who's in their car at eight o'clock or just arriving at the office at eight o'clock?

00:19:49.940 All of the higher ups, all of, all of the big wigs are in and they're driving in or getting

00:19:56.820 up in the morning and they're hearing, you know, or reading that headline that has just

00:20:01.020 been changed already.

00:20:02.160 And they're like, what the hell?

00:20:04.340 No, it can't be that.

00:20:06.540 And then as the day goes on, they just become more and more solid as more and more elites

00:20:12.220 come in and go, I cannot believe we are selling our souls.

00:20:15.860 I can't believe we're not talking about the invasion and how this man started and brought

00:20:20.800 us to our knees.

00:20:22.840 I mean, it's crazy.

00:20:24.580 What a great example of, of how the elites work.

00:20:28.500 It's totally true.

00:20:29.780 It's the way the media works.

00:20:31.320 And you also see sort of a preview of how this is going to go, right?

00:20:34.880 Like if you think there's going to be this big mea culpa or some sort of self-reflection,

00:20:40.760 I don't think any of that seems to be coming.

00:20:42.720 It does seem to be coming.

00:20:43.720 You mentioned Meta before, like you could make the argument that some of those companies

00:20:47.460 are doing it.

00:20:48.380 You know, I think it was McDonald's today announced a big like reversal on their DEI

00:20:53.660 policies.

00:20:54.700 So there is a lot of that happening, but I don't think it's happening over at CNN.

00:20:58.520 All right.

00:20:59.160 So can I ask you, can I, let me say something about that McDonald's thing.

00:21:03.940 Okay.

00:21:04.720 This again is a sign that our Republic is sick.

00:21:09.820 Okay.

00:21:10.260 I've told you in the past when the roles were reversed, that no person should be afraid

00:21:17.680 of the president of the United States.

00:21:20.620 Okay.

00:21:21.560 No business should be afraid of the president of the United States or Congress, unless you're

00:21:30.080 in the crack business.

00:21:31.140 Then maybe you should, um, you know, Hey, I, you know, I'm in the murder business.

00:21:36.780 I, you know, I, I don't like to change policies, but we've got somebody who's strongly against

00:21:42.760 murder.

00:21:43.400 Okay.

00:21:44.000 That would change.

00:21:45.060 But our Republic is so out of balance where the, where a company like McDonald's, because

00:21:53.100 the power center was saying, you need to do this and teach all of these things, not passing

00:22:00.000 laws, just pressure.

00:22:02.700 They change their business practices.

00:22:05.380 Then when the winds change, they change back.

00:22:09.120 That shows you these companies have no principles at all.

00:22:14.280 Stu, have we changed anything in our broadcast with an exception of being more careful on comedy

00:22:22.320 in 30 years?

00:22:24.300 Have we made any big changes because we were afraid of the government?

00:22:29.620 No, no, I don't think so.

00:22:31.240 Right.

00:22:31.420 No, no, um, we wanted to make sure that we were doing the best business practices.

00:22:36.680 So, you know, companies like, or people like media matters couldn't just put us, I didn't

00:22:42.640 want to do them, give them any gifts, you know, by saying things through comedy that would

00:22:47.640 kill us overnight.

00:22:49.260 Um, we haven't changed anything. 0.98

00:22:51.740 You don't change.

00:22:53.180 You are who you are.

00:22:54.620 You're a company that is a, builds a product or makes a product.

00:22:58.560 You believe in that product.

00:23:00.180 You make it the best.

00:23:01.840 And it has nothing to do with politics.

00:23:04.580 When these companies are flip-flopping this dramatically, it shows we are way out of whack.

00:23:11.320 That should never happen in America.

00:23:13.780 That's what happens in fascistic or authoritarian states, not the United States of America.

00:23:19.380 Now, let me go back to the second story here.

00:23:22.000 This one's from the New York Times.

00:23:23.400 Listen to this headline and tell me, tell me of a more shocking, uh, headline, uh, than this.

00:23:36.880 What is the UK grooming gang scandal that's been seized on by Elon Musk?

00:23:44.820 What an incredible headline, okay?

00:23:50.840 They are admitting in the first part of that headline that their audience is not aware of

00:23:57.520 the grooming gang's story in the UK, which has been brewing for a decade, okay?

00:24:03.300 It has been in the news over and over again.

00:24:06.240 In fact, it is what Tommy Robinson and all of these people that they've said is Nazis. 0.96

00:24:11.460 They're Nazis. 0.61

00:24:12.780 This is the reason why they've been called Nazis, okay? 0.98

00:24:16.960 The grooming gangs.

00:24:17.960 So they are admitting the New York Times is admitting you as a reader, probably don't know anything

00:24:24.940 about this, okay?

00:24:26.380 Cause it's no big deal.

00:24:28.560 It's just about Nazis. 0.74

00:24:31.200 Okay.

00:24:31.980 So they're saying we haven't covered it. 0.96

00:24:34.220 And if we have, you wouldn't understand it this way because we suck at our job. 0.89

00:24:39.980 Then they make the story, which is about the sexual molestation by, uh, by let's be honest, 1.00

00:24:49.560 um, uh, Muslim, crazy, uh, migrants that have come in and are raping the children and grooming 1.00

00:24:59.540 the children. 1.00

00:25:01.800 Okay.

00:25:04.080 That story is now being seized on by Elon Musk.

00:25:09.980 Inferring that he's only doing this for more power.

00:25:15.040 He's only, he's taken this little story that you haven't even heard because it's not the

00:25:22.340 story of grooming children.

00:25:23.720 And Elon Musk is using this to gain more power.

00:25:31.320 How evil and out of touch can these people be?

00:25:35.660 They don't have a problem.

00:25:37.380 I mean, I have a problem with the Diddy thing.

00:25:40.040 Does anybody else still have a problem with that?

00:25:42.120 I have a problem.

00:25:43.120 Well, I mean, I have two problems.

00:25:44.180 Did you see when Beyonce came out on the stage for whatever playoff game that was Christmas,

00:25:49.180 I think it was.

00:25:50.500 Um, and she came out in a big cowboy hat and she was doing country. 1.00

00:25:53.400 I'm like, Oh dear God, this is not country.

00:25:55.940 Um, anyway, uh, so I have a problem with that, but why was she allowed to do a huge, uh, uh, 1.00

00:26:04.080 halftime show Beyonce when her husband is, uh, you know, you, you remember, uh, uh, Louis CK.

00:26:13.920 He got permission from women to touch himself in front of them. 0.71

00:26:19.260 All right.

00:26:20.040 But he couldn't perform.

00:26:21.940 He can't perform.

00:26:23.460 Well, I mean, he could perform, but that's in a different way.

00:26:25.900 He, you got to get them off television.

00:26:27.440 You got to get them out.

00:26:28.200 Okay.

00:26:29.020 It's so bad. 0.98

00:26:30.020 Beyonce's husband is accused of raping children, blackmailing all kinds of people and having 0.96

00:26:41.980 these huge baby oil parties that were called Diddy parties that apparently everybody knew 0.95

00:26:48.220 about.

00:26:49.360 There's no way everybody knew about him, but Beyonce didn't.

00:26:52.720 Well, you're talking about Jay-Z or you're talking, wait, you're talking about Jay-Z.

00:26:55.940 Sorry, sorry, sorry. 0.84

00:26:56.760 So Diddy is the guy, the guy with the sex party.

00:26:59.040 Jay-Z is the one married to Beyonce, right? 0.89

00:27:01.680 Right. 0.93

00:27:02.140 But, but Jay-Z is also involved in the Diddy sex parties.

00:27:07.100 Is he not?

00:27:07.760 There was some accusation, I think, about that.

00:27:10.040 Yeah.

00:27:10.380 I haven't followed it all that closely, but yeah, I think there was some accusation.

00:27:13.340 But there's, there's no way she didn't know about those sex parties.

00:27:17.600 No way.

00:27:18.460 No way.

00:27:18.880 If the accusations are true.

00:27:23.640 Yes.

00:27:24.400 I mean, I'm not going to try them.

00:27:26.300 I'm not saying put them in jail without a trial, but I mean, I think we can, we can look at

00:27:32.200 stories and go, Hey, I don't have all the details about Epstein, but the guys that were

00:27:38.900 hanging out with Epstein a lot probably were involved or at least knew about this and were

00:27:46.020 cool with it.

00:27:46.620 I just, I think again, I'm not just trying to cover ourselves from Beyonce's lawyers.

00:27:50.280 I think it is important to make a distinction from a guy who's in prison currently, another

00:27:54.300 guy who's had one accusation against him.

00:27:56.620 Correct.

00:27:57.440 Okay.

00:27:58.000 So this story is happening here and abroad.

00:28:02.260 You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck program, and you can find full episodes wherever

00:28:06.620 you download podcasts.

00:28:08.880 You know, one of the best things about growing older is you're able to watch people grow and

00:28:15.020 come into the business and witness the mistakes and how they pick themselves back up and how

00:28:21.400 they do things and what they really turn into as they grow.

00:28:25.160 Charlie Kirk is a guy I've been watching for a very long time and is really remarkable.

00:28:31.720 Has his head on right, is playing a very big role, and none of it is going to his head,

00:28:39.840 at least that I have seen, and that is extraordinarily difficult when you are as young as he is and

00:28:46.080 up against so much power and fame all around you.

00:28:50.080 Charlie Kirk was in Greenland yesterday.

00:28:52.680 He joins me now.

00:28:53.700 Hello, Charlie.

00:28:55.100 Hey, Glenn.

00:28:55.700 Honored to be here, and I got to tell you that that is a introduction I never thought I'd

00:28:58.920 get in my life.

00:28:59.940 Charlie Kirk was in Greenland yesterday, so honored to be here.

00:29:03.720 Yeah, it doesn't usually happen unless, like, your plane is having an emergency, you know?

00:29:10.360 No, that's right.

00:29:11.260 Yeah, it's not always a destination, but Glenn, you're a friend and a teacher and a mentor

00:29:15.320 and honored by those words.

00:29:16.740 Thank you.

00:29:17.420 Yeah.

00:29:17.880 So how did this come about?

00:29:21.000 Did you just get a call from Don Jr. who's like, hey, let's go to Greenland?

00:29:24.580 Yeah, you know, it was in the news cycle, and Don's a big outdoorsman, and I'm very close

00:29:29.500 friends with him.

00:29:30.240 And he said, hey, you know, before the new administration comes in, he said, why don't

00:29:34.720 I just go do a trip to Greenland and just kind of go get to know the culture and get

00:29:38.040 to see what's, you know, going on there?

00:29:40.160 And one thing led to the other, and I was invited on this and took Trump Force One in

00:29:45.200 the middle of the night and flew all the way up to Nook.

00:29:48.160 You could only land within their little window of daylight there.

00:29:52.140 The sun rises at 11 a.m., and it sets at 3.30.

00:29:55.880 So for all of you listening right now in Minneapolis or Chicago, do you think you have it bad?

00:30:00.000 You have no idea.

00:30:01.520 It could get even worse.

00:30:03.260 But I got to say, Glenn, I was blown away at the worldwide movement that MAGA has created.

00:30:10.740 We were met by hundreds of people, people in MAGA hats in the streets of Nook, people that

00:30:16.940 love America, that will be part of America.

00:30:19.960 And Don wanted to go, and I wanted to go also to just learn, what is Greenland's place in

00:30:24.880 the world?

00:30:25.480 You know, what does it have to offer?

00:30:26.800 First of all, striking beauty.

00:30:28.880 There's only one state that I think compares, and that would be Alaska.

00:30:31.620 I mean, it's breathtaking, Glenn.

00:30:32.980 You would love it.

00:30:34.840 I mean, the pictures don't do it justice.

00:30:37.120 I'm talking about untouched, serene beauty.

00:30:40.960 That's number one.

00:30:41.780 Number two, incredible natural resources that the current Danish government who controls

00:30:45.980 Greenland does not allow locals to exploit or use or take advantage of.

00:30:50.760 I'm talking about resources we might not even be aware of, but they have gold.

00:30:54.480 They have rubies, they have oil, natural gas, just remarkable.

00:30:57.700 And number three, which I think is the greatest thing.

00:30:59.140 They have rare earth minerals.

00:31:00.560 It is wildly.

00:31:03.940 But, you know, the problem is Denmark won't let them do anything.

00:31:07.520 Well, the United States won't let Alaska do anything either. 0.84

00:31:10.440 I mean, we're taking advantage of some of it.

00:31:12.380 But, you know, I think this is the best investment America could make in my lifetime.

00:31:18.840 I think this would be a great investment.

00:31:21.520 But it would take a Donald Trump to let us actually use it responsibly, too.

00:31:26.380 Totally.

00:31:27.060 And, I mean, thankfully with President Trump, I think we'll get Anwar back in Alaska. 1.00

00:31:30.760 And so, but what I also saw, though, is that the people of Greenland, they can't stand Denmark.

00:31:35.880 They think that the Danes mistreat them, take advantage of them, and they want to be part of America.

00:31:42.400 And if this deal were to be brokered, which, you know, just looking at now as a tourist coming there and back,

00:31:47.320 I think it's totally possible, especially with President Trump coming in,

00:31:51.280 this would be such a net benefit for the United States for national security reasons.

00:31:55.820 The Arctic is becoming an increasing hot center with China and Russia.

00:32:00.260 And Canada has let Russia just walk all over the Arctic Circle. 0.81

00:32:05.720 That's right.

00:32:06.400 Exactly.

00:32:07.120 Exactly.

00:32:07.940 And the people are wonderful.

00:32:09.860 I mean, we also went to a cultural center, Glenn, kind of their local museum.

00:32:14.340 And they had drawings and pictures of people, you know, 600 years ago,

00:32:18.740 before any heating obviously existed, that were able to survive in these winters.

00:32:23.220 I mean, there are very tough people that have been through a lot.

00:32:25.780 That's a largely forgotten island.

00:32:28.380 And now it's one of the talks of the world.

00:32:30.780 And I think that's just really exciting.

00:32:32.200 And I think if, again, if the deal were to be brokered, only President Trump could do it.

00:32:37.780 And Denmark is not utilizing it.

00:32:39.700 Instead, they're actually, I think, harming the great people of Nook and Greenland.

00:32:45.120 And, hey, one day we might have lots of nonstop flights from New York and Chicago to Nook.

00:32:50.960 And I would love to welcome the people of Greenland and the United States of America.

00:32:54.660 It would be interesting because the real obstacle here is Denmark.

00:32:59.100 They have, you know, we've tried to buy Greenland several times, you know, back in the 1800s it began.

00:33:05.500 And Denmark is no, no, no, no, no.

00:33:08.420 But, you know, a trillion dollars.

00:33:10.660 We've given a trillion dollars away to the banks.

00:33:13.300 This would be the best expenditure of a trillion to a trillion and a half dollars that America could make.

00:33:23.080 That's a real investment.

00:33:25.280 But do you think the Danes would be interested at all?

00:33:29.260 Well, again, it's the art of the deal, right?

00:33:31.180 So just kind of thinking out loud here, number one, how much of a save the Danes actually have?

00:33:34.940 We pay for all their military defense, basically, through NATO.

00:33:37.520 We're the ones that are keeping, you know, Putin at bay.

00:33:40.660 We're the ones that continue to fund all of these military bases throughout Europe.

00:33:44.260 So maybe it's time that we flex a little bit of that muscle and use some of that leverage of all of these blank checks that we've been writing all throughout Europe.

00:33:51.000 That's number one.

00:33:52.020 Number two, though, is that Denmark is not even using the natural resources that are at their disposal to be able to, guess what?

00:33:59.560 Make Europe no longer dependent on Russian oil.

00:34:02.140 I mean, to make Europe no longer dependent on Middle Eastern oil.

00:34:06.000 So what you have is this incredible reservoir of oil and natural gas that is much closer in approximation to Europe than any of the other places they get oil from.

00:34:16.040 And then finally, I think you make this astute point.

00:34:19.380 Denmark is nowhere near as wealthy a country as America.

00:34:23.340 And the people, and this is the final kicker, the people of Greenland do not like their current rulers.

00:34:29.000 If it was held to a vote, they would vote to leave Denmark.

00:34:32.820 In fact, you saw the Greenlandic prime minister in the news saying, we want our independence.

00:34:37.680 We no longer want to be part of this.

00:34:38.900 We want to be our own sovereign nation.

00:34:40.480 That's a great first step.

00:34:41.800 That means they want to break free of the shackles of the Danish government who mistreat them.

00:34:47.380 And Glenn, you would really appreciate this.

00:34:49.200 There were young people of Nook.

00:34:51.520 I'm talking 18, 19, 20 years old that follow us on TikTok and follow us and their fans.

00:34:56.060 They said, when we go to Copenhagen, which is our, you know, we are mistreated.

00:35:00.340 We are called racist.

00:35:01.560 We're, they're, they're racist.

00:35:03.100 They don't like us.

00:35:03.880 They say, get out of Copenhagen, go back to your home.

00:35:06.200 Look, but when we meet Americans, we get, we are treated like human beings that have opportunity.

00:35:11.680 And isn't that the American story?

00:35:13.240 We don't care about where you're from.

00:35:15.040 We care about your potential.

00:35:16.960 And they finally said this.

00:35:18.420 They said, the nicest people that ever come to Greenland on the planet are always Americans.

00:35:22.380 They said, they always come and they're so warm.

00:35:25.760 And they said, the Europeans, they don't want anything to do with us.

00:35:28.340 And so there's a lot here, Glenn.

00:35:29.960 It's not as if that these people are thrilled with their current relationship with Denmark.

00:35:34.240 No, no.

00:35:34.780 And I think this deal could be brokered and it would, it would exponentially benefit the

00:35:39.340 United States of America.

00:35:40.280 So, um, you know, the things that Donald Trump is talking about now, Greenland, he is absolutely

00:35:46.760 serious about that.

00:35:47.940 And he should be, I think it would be a tremendous, I mean, that's a moonshot.

00:35:52.140 That's, that's a president looking to the future.

00:35:55.380 And the same with Panama Canal, Panama Canal is in the hands of China right now. 0.97

00:36:00.480 And this is a Cuban missile crisis kind of scenario that I haven't heard anybody talk about until

00:36:07.640 Donald Trump.

00:36:08.800 Um, it is true national security.

00:36:12.980 Um, Canada, I think he's just trolling Canada and negotiating, you know, he's serious about

00:36:19.060 the border, but what a great way to say, instead of saying, I'm going to, I am going to rake

00:36:24.820 your people over the coals with, uh, with, uh, all kinds of tariffs.

00:36:29.020 If you don't stop what's happening on the border, instead saying, you know, trolling Trudeau at

00:36:34.820 the same time saying, Hey, why don't you join the family, man?

00:36:37.460 We'd love you.

00:36:38.140 We, we already love you.

00:36:39.480 Let's just come together.

00:36:40.820 I mean, brilliant strategy, I think.

00:36:43.380 Yeah.

00:36:43.820 And, and look, the Canadian thing, to be honest, as an American going, I don't know if I want

00:36:47.580 all of Canada.

00:36:48.420 Uh, I don't either.

00:36:49.120 And if they want to buy Minnesota, I'll sell it to them for a cup of coffee and maybe a half a

00:36:53.020 sandwich.

00:36:54.020 Exactly.

00:36:54.380 I think we could trade Alberta for Minnesota. 1.00

00:36:56.300 That would, that would be a great, I love the people of Minnesota, but, uh, the Minneapolis

00:37:01.180 is not great.

00:37:02.320 Edmonton is great too, by the way, tons of natural resources and wonderful people.

00:37:05.640 But, uh, look at the Panama canal, we could talk extensively about that.

00:37:09.020 That, that, I mean, the president is as serious as sin on that one.

00:37:11.900 That, that is, that is the choke point right now.

00:37:14.760 We built it America.

00:37:16.120 A lot of Americans died building it.

00:37:18.020 We never should have given away control of it.

00:37:19.960 It's what connects two hemispheres together.

00:37:22.180 Uh, and look, the Chinese are trying to build another canal right now, um, in a neighboring

00:37:26.960 country because, you know, they're afraid that America might actually take back control

00:37:31.040 of the Panama canal.

00:37:31.740 So, uh, Greenland plus Panama would strengthen the Northern hemisphere, our hemisphere, the

00:37:37.520 Western hemisphere would strengthen it in a way for generations to come, especially as

00:37:42.400 we are seeing the rise of the belligerent Chinese communist party.

00:37:45.280 I haven't been able to get ahold of Mr. Rand or McNally.

00:37:49.240 Can the president just say it's going to be the Gulf of America?

00:37:53.200 You know, that's a really interesting question.

00:37:54.960 The answer is yes.

00:37:55.920 So there's these boards and commissions that rarely get any of attention.

00:37:59.640 You might remember Obama went through one of those boards and commissions and renamed

00:38:03.860 Mount McKinley to Denali.

00:38:06.240 Um, and it's just, it's just the naming commission and the president has full authority of who sits

00:38:11.000 on them.

00:38:11.820 And so the president is probably going to put five or six loyalists there and rename

00:38:15.360 the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

00:38:17.460 I love that.

00:38:17.920 By the way, more of our coastline is there.

00:38:20.100 Why is it that we named it the Gulf of Mexico?

00:38:21.920 So that one's getting done out of all the ones, it is going to be the Gulf of America and, uh,

00:38:27.080 President Trump that we want to have many legacies.

00:38:30.260 So Charlie, what is your role?

00:38:32.340 Are you, I mean, do you, are you part of the transition committee or are you just kind

00:38:36.920 of just, you know, there from time to time?

00:38:40.500 And my, my title is a friend of the president, friend of the president.

00:38:44.660 No, I'm just here to be helpful.

00:38:46.580 I'm still running turning points, still doing the show.

00:38:48.580 And I'm just blown away, uh, Glenn at the opportunities that I'm being given and the,

00:38:53.160 the people I get to speak to.

00:38:55.080 It's just, I have to pinch myself and I'm humbled by it.

00:38:57.960 I'm so excited by everything that Trump is doing.

00:39:01.880 I become more optimistic every single day in watching him and seeing where we're going.

00:39:07.180 Uh, can I ask you something really self-serving?

00:39:10.500 Yes.

00:39:11.840 Okay.

00:39:12.260 He's just listening to the puzzle.

00:39:13.620 Oh God.

00:39:14.160 Yes.

00:39:14.860 Uh, I'd like to see how powerful you are.

00:39:16.960 I want to be on the 250th anniversary committee that is putting together the, the anniversary

00:39:24.880 of our country in 26.

00:39:27.020 And I, I got a lot I can bring to the table.

00:39:29.200 Who do I talk to?

00:39:29.900 I think you would be, I think you'd be spectacular.

00:39:31.720 And there is going to be a special commission for that.

00:39:34.720 Um, by the way, it's not the by, it's not the bicentennial has a very long name.

00:39:38.160 It's like the Quinton by, I can't remember.

00:39:40.060 I know.

00:39:40.660 I know.

00:39:41.000 I know.

00:39:41.660 I keep calling it the 250th.

00:39:44.220 No, but no, no, that's right.

00:39:45.420 Just to educate the audience.

00:39:46.580 So coming up next July, not this July, uh, next July, July 26th is our 250th birthday.

00:39:52.580 And the president wants to do something spectacular and bold and it will be amazing.

00:39:58.720 I've got 40 seconds.

00:40:00.200 Any update on a Dennis Prager?

00:40:03.440 Oh boy.

00:40:04.160 You know, uh, it's funny.

00:40:05.120 Dennis went to Greenland this last summer.

00:40:06.680 So I called him from, uh, Greenland and he was just thrilled to hear from me.

00:40:10.780 He's still in a very serious condition right now.

00:40:13.060 Um, he's fighting every day.

00:40:14.720 I'm not at liberty to talk about all the medical details, but everybody in your audience, please

00:40:18.000 pray and fast for Dennis Prager.

00:40:20.060 We need that extraordinary mind back behind the microphone and finishing his tour commentary,

00:40:25.260 but I'm communicating with him and his family on a daily basis.

00:40:27.960 So please pray for Dennis Prager.

00:40:29.860 Yeah.

00:40:30.440 Charlie is always great to talk to you.

00:40:32.800 So proud of you and so happy for your success.

00:40:35.420 God bless.
