00:00:24.080 Okay, on today's podcast, we have got a lot to cover.
00:00:26.740 First of all, an update on Minneapolis, what is going on.
00:00:29.300 And also, a lot of people are thinking that Donald Trump retreated from Minneapolis.
00:00:32.980 I think he's actually reframing.
00:00:35.040 I could be wrong on this, but I don't think so.
00:00:37.540 I think this is, again, the art of the deal.
00:00:40.380 You just have to see what the deal is and how he is using his art to get there.
00:00:46.300 And what I believe is the only solution to this situation in Minneapolis.
00:00:52.740 It's getting more and more clear to me.
00:00:54.640 And it's becoming less and less likely that we're going to find somebody to do it.
00:01:00.580 And I lay that out in today's podcast.
00:01:02.800 You don't want to miss today's podcast.
00:01:04.340 Here it is.
00:01:05.180 Let me tell you about a Berna launcher.
00:01:07.700 Most people think seriously about self-defense.
00:01:10.380 And they're not looking to make that process more complicated.
00:01:14.060 In an emergency, you're looking for something that gives them control of the situation.
00:01:17.600 They want an option that buys them time and space and a way out when a situation turns bad without warning.
00:01:23.860 Berna makes guns these less lethal self-defense tools.
00:01:29.440 They look just like guns.
00:01:30.940 They operate like a gun, except they don't kill people.
00:01:33.180 But they make them in black, so it looks like a gun.
00:01:35.800 And they make them also in orange, so they don't look like a gun.
00:01:38.080 And I have to tell you, I've bought the black ones.
00:01:41.260 I think it's probably pretty wise to buy one that is orange.
00:01:44.680 Because if you're in a street and you pull out something that looks like a gun, you could get shot.
00:01:50.240 I want it to be very, very clear.
00:01:52.060 This is not a gun.
00:01:53.720 What matters to a lot of people is access.
00:01:56.220 The Berna launcher is legal in all 50 states.
00:01:58.540 It doesn't require a permit anywhere.
00:02:00.140 Berna means you don't have to navigate a complicated process or wait on permissions just to have a responsible option available.
00:02:06.560 Berna is about preparedness.
00:02:08.940 It's not about panic.
00:02:10.460 Not about expecting trouble.
00:02:11.780 But recognizing when seconds matter, you've got to have a tool that gives you control of that situation.
00:02:17.000 It makes all the difference.
00:02:17.900 Go to Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.
00:02:20.500 Learn more.
00:02:21.020 Try before you buy it at a sportsman's warehouse located near you.
00:02:23.980 You'll find one at Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

00:03:12.960 Now let's get to work.
00:03:21.680 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:25.620 All right.
00:03:28.580 Asra Nomani has exposed a network yesterday of far-left organizations, and it is comprehensive.
00:03:39.240 The Free Beacon also came out yesterday and exposed the Sunrise Movement that is funded by the usual suspects, Soros Tides Ford.
00:03:48.800 O'Keefe said yesterday, he was in Minneapolis, and he said there is a territory that is absolutely absence of police.
00:03:57.780 They knew his license plate.
00:04:00.520 They said, you're driving this, and if you're not out of the city within one hour, you're dead.
00:04:06.760 He said somebody frisked him and the Marine that he was with as if they were the police.
00:04:12.940 I mean, Minneapolis is out of control.
00:04:15.180 It is important for people to understand what is going on because this is not a protest.
00:04:24.100 This is an insurgency.
00:04:26.820 On today's podcast and at glennbeck.com, I want to take that torch and light our way here and expose another one of the organizing engines behind this unrest.
00:04:37.320 And once you see it clearly, you'll understand this is not about immigration, compassion, or civil rights.
00:04:43.620 This is an insurgency, not a protest.
00:04:46.460 It's about power.
00:04:47.360 It's about ideology.
00:04:48.660 It is about a movement that doesn't believe that America even has a right to exist.
00:04:52.920 We have been working alongside with the nonprofit Morrow Institute, which this is what they do for a living, and they have uncovered the operational and ideological footprint of a group quietly embedded in the anti-ice organizing network in Minnesota.
00:05:09.400 I just have to tell you that I am so happy to see what people have done with their spare time.
00:05:21.160 When I started exposing these things back in the early 2000s, nobody was on it.
00:05:29.960 Very few people.
00:05:30.620 I shouldn't say nobody.
00:05:31.420 Very few people were on it, and it was very hard to track these things down.
00:05:36.200 Now with the internet and ChatGPT and everything else, you can move pretty quickly.
00:05:40.520 You still are required to have some investigative footing and knowledge, but it is a lot easier than it was.
00:05:47.480 Like I just said, you have O'Keefe, you have the Free Beacon, you have Osro Nomani, you have us at glenbeck.com, and you're seeing these networks in real time.
00:06:01.820 The one that the Morrow Institute tipped us off on today, and you'll find this article at glenbeck.com, in Minnesota is the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Committee.
00:06:12.400 It's known as MIRAC, Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee, I think it is.
00:06:19.640 And you're not going to hear that name on cable news, and you're not going to see it in press releases from City Hall, but you will find it inside the signal chats that were used to organize resistance to federal law enforcement, and not casually.
00:06:32.780 MIRAC is listed as a recommended training resource, and that's all in the documents that are circulating among all the activists, documents instructing participants to, and I quote,
00:06:45.360 train up community members in rapid response and intervention, end quote.
00:06:51.240 And here's their speciality, Immigrant Response Training, I'm sorry, Immigration Raid Response Trainings.
00:07:01.120 Now that sounds benign, I guess, until you read what MIRAC actually believes, okay?
00:07:07.220 And this was important during BLM.
00:07:09.300 People were used by BLM, and it didn't catch on for a while until it just started, people started going to jail.
00:07:14.200 But, you know, we told you at the very beginning of BLM, you have to know what they stand for.
00:07:19.880 They are for the destruction of America and the destruction of the nuclear family.
00:07:24.800 And when you go back and you look at their founding documents and their own words and what they are currently for, it should open your mind and open your eyes and say, wait a minute, I don't want to partner with these guys, okay?
00:07:36.320 What they expose about themselves in their posts, you know, in their own words, in their alliances, is this.
00:07:51.620 And this is really important.
00:07:53.220 This leads to something from next hour that I really am anxious to talk to you about and get your opinion on.
00:08:00.080 But they're not about seeking reform.
00:08:05.320 They're not about reconciliation.
00:08:10.360 They're not about fixing the problem.
00:08:12.960 They are seeking abolition.
00:08:16.220 And the abolition of borders, any deportation, no enforcement in the United States, and the abolition of the United States as it is presently constituted.
00:08:28.980 Okay?
00:08:29.420 So no America.
00:08:30.420 They openly call the American immigration system and the criminal justice system fundamentally unjust, racist, and white supremacist.
00:08:41.000 They declare solidarity with popular movements abroad.
00:08:45.680 They explicitly expose U.S. action anywhere in the world.
00:08:49.940 So this is not civil disobedience.
00:08:51.680 This has nothing to do with what's happening in Minneapolis.
00:08:56.540 Okay?
00:08:56.740 None of it.
00:08:57.500 This is a revolutionary ideology.
00:09:01.200 And behind all the soft language is something far harder.
00:09:04.860 The Morrow Institute, the researchers there, identify MIRAC, is part of what they call, and we've talked about this here recently a lot, the Turtle Island Infantata.
00:09:18.880 Turtle Island is what the ancient natives used to call America.
00:09:25.600 Okay?
00:09:26.400 This whole continent was Turtle Island.
00:09:29.320 And so if you're part of Turtle Island, they're trying to make this, they're trying to take the entire continent of North America and make it into Palestine, an occupied territory.
00:09:42.460 And this Turtle Island movement denies the idea of America's right to exist in any way, the same way the radical groups deny Israel's right to exist.
00:09:58.020 And one MIRAC post made it really, really explicit.
00:10:01.560 They said, from Turtle Island to Palestine, occupation is a crime.
00:10:07.840 Turtle Island, again, what they call North America, they believe it has to be liberated.
00:10:12.460 And if that language sounds familiar, it should, because we know exactly how liberation movements operate when they adopt the language of resistance, intifada, and occupation.
00:10:25.360 October 7th should have ended any ambiguity at all.
00:10:30.700 I mean, it didn't, but it should have.
00:10:33.480 But it certainly didn't with MIRAC.
00:10:35.760 Their response to the October 7th massacre was not grief.
00:10:39.440 There was no condemnation, not even an acknowledgement of Israeli civilians murdered in their homes.
00:10:45.880 Instead, MIRAC declared solidarity with Palestine and endorsed the so-called right of return and repeated the chant.
00:10:54.080 On October 7th, from the river to the sea.
00:10:56.920 Then they went further.
00:11:00.120 In April 2024, MIRAC co-published a statement praising Iran's missile attack on Israel, calling it justified under international law and lauding Iran's support for the Palestinian existence.
00:11:11.520 So you have this so far.
00:11:12.820 The people in Minnesota, they say America has no right to exist.
00:11:16.840 Israel has no right to exist.
00:11:19.440 And one of their partners in this utopian society are anybody who is trying to destroy America, and that includes Iran, that I remind you, yesterday, the last two days, now it's up to 35,000 people they have executed.
00:11:37.820 So this organization that is part of the crime, I believe, the insurrection in Minnesota, that is whipping people into a frenzy, they are for the Iranian government.
00:11:53.680 Now, they're partners in the statement, including groups previously identified by researchers as pro-terrorism, including organizations with documented links to foreign influence and revolutionary communist movements.
00:12:12.500 And it's not a coincidence.
00:12:14.220 This is a coalition.
00:12:16.440 Later, MIRAC announced a march for Iran.
00:12:19.760 They condemned the United States for bombing innocent Iranians and Venezuelans.
00:12:24.840 They have promoted pro-Cuba activism.
00:12:27.280 They have joined coalitions whose own website supported October 7th attack, framed Russia and China as victims of America.
00:12:37.080 Okay, I mean, it...
00:12:38.300 And this is all before we get to any violence.
00:12:42.440 Because MIRAC doesn't just merely tolerate violent rhetoric.
00:12:46.600 It amplifies it.
00:12:47.860 There is a flyer published by MIRAC that features the phrase, bash the fash, alongside with an image of a bloodied, severed head and a slogan long associated with, you know, Antifa-style street violence.
00:13:04.940 So their close allies publicly pledged to defend activists politically and physically, if necessary.
00:13:11.560 They openly endorsed the unified Palestinian resistance.
00:13:15.020 They called October 7th morally justified.
00:13:18.840 And they draw a line really clearly.
00:13:22.920 Violence against ICE isn't violence, it's resistance.
00:13:27.380 When a protester is shot, MIRAC rejects any attempt to condemn the unrest.
00:13:32.700 This is what they've just recently wrote.
00:13:35.100 There is violence and there is resistance to violence.
00:13:38.420 They must never be equated.
00:13:40.160 Okay, days earlier, they issued a message to the Minnesota leadership.
00:13:45.280 ICE is waging war on our city.
00:13:47.540 Fight back.
00:13:48.560 If you won't, keep MPD out of our way.
00:13:52.320 So in other words, they're telling people, if you're not going to get violent, we will.
00:13:56.400 You just keep the Minnesota police, the Minneapolis Police Department out of our way.
00:14:00.440 Another post celebrated the activists that were, quote, organized, militant, and ready to fight back.
00:14:09.100 They brag about forming human chains to stop federal vehicles.
00:14:12.660 They boast about mobilizing hundreds within an hour.
00:14:15.520 They promise more training for the next confrontation.
00:14:18.000 And they provide resources that support all arrestees, regardless of the charge, rejecting any kind of distinction between peaceful protest and criminal destruction.
00:14:28.780 And the most, I think, chilling is this comparison.
00:14:33.660 This was published on the Mirac-linked social media.
00:14:39.160 ICE is equated with the Israeli military.
00:14:42.880 Now, this is why it's chilling.
00:14:44.340 If you understand what Mirac partners want done to the Israeli military, you understand the implication.
00:14:49.220 This is not a protest.
00:14:50.440 This is pre-justification.
00:14:54.640 This is rhetorical framework that transforms law enforcement into enemy occupiers and then calls killing them resistance.
00:15:05.820 So here's the truth that the media is not going to say.
00:15:11.360 And quite honestly, some people, you know, on our side are not going to say.
00:15:15.420 But it is really important.
00:15:17.020 Please, please, please listen to our number two of today's show.
00:15:20.780 Please.
00:15:22.080 Because I'm going to take you places that I don't think anybody else will take you.
00:15:25.380 And I mean anybody else will take you.
00:15:27.800 And I think it's really important.
00:15:34.240 But here's what you need to hear right now.
00:15:37.100 America can debate immigration policy.
00:15:39.600 We could debate that all the way along.
00:15:40.780 We've been debating it since almost the beginning of our country.
00:15:43.260 We can argue about enforcement priorities.
00:15:47.440 America can reform laws.
00:15:50.860 We can condemn the police or understand the police.
00:15:55.080 We can condemn protesters and we can understand protesters.
00:15:58.260 But this is an organized ideological assault and one that rejects the legitimacy of the United States itself, aligns itself with foreign adversaries, excuses terrorism, and normalizes violence as a political tool.
00:16:16.500 This is not part of a civil society.
00:16:20.840 What they're trying to do is seize civil society.
00:16:24.460 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:16:30.900 Here we are in 2026 and it seems like time is moving really fast.
00:16:36.180 But a lot can change in a year.
00:16:38.020 And one thing that stays the same is the need to be prepared.
00:16:41.880 Resolve in 2026 with a clear mind that you are protecting what matters most, the health and safety of those you love with Jace Medical.
00:16:50.200 The Jace case is an emergency kit equipped with medications and prescription antibiotics.

00:17:30.980 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:17:33.300 So half the country is under a spell, and I think it's why the scriptures say we don't fight flesh and bone.
00:17:42.260 We fight principalities.
00:17:44.180 We fight evil because only evil.
00:17:49.220 This is not human that is making somebody say this.
00:17:53.000 This is a health care worker in Virginia.
00:17:56.040 Her name is Melinda.
00:17:56.960 She works at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia, and she has posted a series of TikToks, and I want you to listen to what she is saying.
00:18:09.120 Listen to this.
00:18:10.180 Cut forward.
00:18:11.100 I thought of something good.
00:18:12.240 I think it's something weird to spot.
00:18:13.900 Sabotage tactic or at least scare tactic.
00:18:17.380 All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end.
00:18:22.100 Have them full of saline or succinylcholine.
00:18:25.600 You know, whatever, whatever.
00:18:28.800 That will probably be a deterrent.
00:18:32.880 Be safe.
00:18:33.760 Are the single ladies where these ICE guys are going have a chance to do something, you know, not without risk, but could help the cause for sure?
00:18:45.720 Get on Tinder.
00:18:46.600 Get on Hinge.
00:18:47.120 Find these guys.
00:18:48.520 They're around.
00:18:50.220 They're an ICE agent.
00:18:51.120 Bring some X-Lax and put it in their drinks.
00:18:55.600 Get them sick.
00:18:58.840 You know, nobody's going to die.
00:19:01.020 Just enough to incapacity them to get them off the street for the next day.
00:19:05.340 Okay.
00:19:06.220 So she's saying spike their food.
00:19:10.800 Get them sick.
00:19:11.860 She was talking about filling a syringe with a paralytic just to scare them.
00:19:19.780 That's sick.
00:19:22.780 That's, I mean, is anybody for that?
00:19:27.280 Listen to this.
00:19:28.160 This is, this is, uh, this is James O'Keefe yesterday.
00:19:31.700 He wrote yesterday.
00:19:32.820 I've never experienced anything quite like today in my life.
00:19:35.900 I've interacted with a cartel.
00:19:37.620 I've witnessed crazy things.
00:19:39.340 But what strikes me in Minnesota is how organized these agitators in Minneapolis are.
00:19:44.360 They have spotters everywhere in the city and the suburbs on street corners, even 30 minutes away from downtown.
00:19:50.820 They have people at hotels that work with them and signal to them, which made it making it difficult for us to lose our tail.
00:19:58.480 Once my cover was blown.
00:19:59.600 I usually lose a tail.
00:20:01.620 Not this time.
00:20:02.340 I switched locations three times.
00:20:04.720 I recorded and posted this while leaving this area while they were still surveilling, um, uh, surveying.
00:20:12.160 Um, we, uh, all agreed.
00:20:14.920 We must take these threats public as soon as possible.
00:20:18.880 Even if we had people still in the field with hidden cams earlier around noon, Cam Higby released his report on signal threads.
00:20:26.820 I was inside of what appeared to be a fully autonomous zone.
00:20:31.640 Remember that in Seattle, the Chad autonomous zone, no police presence.
00:20:37.200 The police had been told to leave.
00:20:39.720 I identified myself as press and they said they would kill press and they would not let me leave.
00:20:46.060 My skin was fully covered because it was so cold.
00:20:49.240 Um, but because they couldn't verify who I was, they screamed and started throwing ice bottles at us.
00:20:55.140 One hit the Marine who was with me.
00:20:57.620 They patted him down.
00:20:59.200 Like they were the authorities attempting to confiscate any weapons.
00:21:03.100 They were set to destroy our vehicle before we even got to it.
00:21:06.720 I have a full video report, uh, shortly.
00:21:10.800 This is an insurrection.
00:21:12.900 And, and so I've been thinking for the last few days.
00:21:16.740 So how do you stop this because it's going to force the president to declare an insurrection and that's going to give them what they want.
00:21:25.980 They're very well organized and you go to civil war.
00:21:30.740 And I thought, how does anybody buy into this stuff?
00:21:33.480 How, how are these people?
00:21:34.820 Because they've been slowly boiled like a frog.
00:21:38.400 Okay.
00:21:38.880 They, they, they don't know who they're standing next to.
00:21:43.160 And how do you break that spell?
00:21:45.020 Well, there's only one way to break a spell like this.
00:21:50.020 And I want to give it to you.
00:21:51.740 I would ask that you just give me 10 minutes and hear me out.
00:21:54.460 You may not like it when I first start talking about it, but I think it is the only answer.
00:21:59.420 Your, your thinking and mine has been, we have got to send in more troops.
00:22:05.940 We have got to send it.
00:22:07.040 We've got to take control of this situation.
00:22:09.920 That's what they want.
00:22:14.060 So what if we thought of something completely different?
00:22:17.140 And I want you just to imagine for a second, imagine some, what would happen if we imagine something different that wasn't louder, not angrier, you know, not more certain of our own rights.
00:22:29.420 Righteousness, but higher.
00:22:33.500 As I look through history, it tells us the greatest moments of change did not come when one side finally crushed the other.
00:22:44.580 When real change comes is when ordinary people choose a courage that felt almost unreasonable at the time.
00:22:53.700 Two figures in history have proven this.
00:22:56.120 Martin Luther King, he called it unarmed truth and unconditional love.
00:23:01.620 Gandhi called it truth force.
00:23:05.000 Both of them believed in something totally radical, that the strongest force in human affairs is not domination, but a disciplined compassion that is so visible, so undeniable when it shows up that it actually unsettles.
00:23:20.120 Even those who are prepared for violence, it's unsettling.
00:23:23.120 It breaks spells.
00:23:27.680 So for just a minute, imagine, not instruct, not demand, but imagine, what if in a moment like this, a third presence appeared?
00:23:37.920 You have ice, you have all the people that are angry on that side, and then you have these agitators and insurrectionists on the other side that are willing to do anything.
00:23:49.380 Okay?
00:23:49.520 What if there were men and women who would step forward not to confront, not to shout, not to accuse, just to stand?
00:24:10.820 What if there was a group of people that locked arms, not in hostility, but in resolve?
00:24:18.960 What if there were a group of people that became a living boundary, not against people, but against chaos?
00:24:27.420 What if there was a group of people that would not carry weapons, they would not chant insults, they would not demand surrender, they would not respond, they would say nothing at all.
00:24:38.420 They would just simply stand between anger and authority, between accusation and response, bearing their own bodies as witnesses to a simple truth.
00:24:50.600 That no worker, whether you're an ice agent or an ice cream vendor, should ever have to fear for their life in doing their job.
00:24:57.400 That no protester, however passionate, should ever be manipulated into becoming a pawn in someone else's strategy of escalation.
00:25:07.440 That human life is not a prop.
00:25:10.960 Tragedy is not a tactic.
00:25:13.920 Imagine the cameras.
00:25:15.680 Not capturing fists or fear, just faces.
00:25:19.720 Faces calm in the storm.
00:25:22.120 Faces resolved, not reactive.
00:25:24.180 Faces that refused to mirror the violence that they stood against.
00:25:29.420 Imagine the confusion that would cause.
00:25:34.020 And it wouldn't cause outrage, it would cause hesitation.
00:25:38.660 People would all of a sudden go, wait, what is happening here?
00:25:42.900 Because Martin Luther King and Gandhi both knew this kind of action does something extraordinary.
00:25:48.420 It denies, it denies, it denies both sides their expectation of conflict.
00:25:57.280 King taught, nonviolence is not the absence of tension.
00:26:04.160 It is the creation of a moral tension that is so pure it demands reflection instead of retaliation.
00:26:12.580 When they were sick in the dogs on Martin Luther King's people, when they were beating them, when they were firehose, the rest of the country looked at that and said, wait, what is happening?
00:26:25.760 See, there were real racists in the 1960s, obviously, and there still are, but there were real racists.
00:26:33.120 And then there were people like, probably like my grandparents, who had grown up being told things and it was just the way it was.
00:26:43.140 And they weren't racists, but they were kind of asleep.
00:26:47.520 They were just, you know, that's just the way it was.
00:26:50.360 And then Martin Luther King came along and then they saw people that they related to because, you know, we shouldn't have interracial marriage or whatever they were thinking at the time.
00:27:00.700 And then they saw Martin Luther King come along and he breaks all of everything that they've ever thought or ever been told about black people.
00:27:09.040 And then they see that, wait, wait, my side is hosing these people down.
00:27:15.080 My side is sicking dogs on them.
00:27:16.760 They're not my side.
00:27:18.240 And it breaks the spell.
00:27:21.200 If they were violent, it would have done exactly the same.
00:27:24.560 It just would have divided everybody more.
00:27:26.880 Martin Luther King realized you've got to win the hearts of the other side and break the spell.
00:27:32.840 And so the narrative shifts, not us versus them, not oppressors versus victims, but a different question begins to rise in the mind of the public.
00:27:44.800 Why are these people willing to risk themselves?
00:27:48.100 Why aren't they fighting?
00:27:50.040 Why not fight?
00:27:51.960 Why are they standing there to protect?
00:27:53.480 What do they see?
00:27:55.340 What do they have that I don't know or have forgotten?
00:28:00.600 Martin Luther King said it over and over again because people argued with him that surrender, it's not weakness.
00:28:05.640 It's not surrender.
00:28:06.940 It's strength.
00:28:08.240 It's strength so composed that it refuses to be dragged down.
00:28:14.540 And Gandhi believed that when truth is embodied, not shouted, embodied, lived, it becomes unavoidable.
00:28:21.900 Well, King believed love when disciplined and public will shame injustice without humiliating the unjust.
00:28:31.380 And perhaps, just perhaps, this is how nations change.
00:28:38.120 Not when one side breaks the other, but when enough people remember the goal was never victory.
00:28:45.580 The goal was reconciliation.
00:28:47.860 I don't want victory over my family members that don't talk to me anymore.
00:28:52.200 I want reconciliation.
00:28:53.240 I want to come back together.
00:28:58.980 I want peace, but I want peace with justice.
00:29:02.680 I want a future where our children can inherit something better than just anger at one another.
00:29:09.280 So I ask you today, what would happen if we remembered that?
00:29:13.280 What if we allowed ourselves to believe again that there still is a higher third road?
00:29:23.020 And walking that road just might be the most powerful thing we could ever do.
00:29:31.040 Not because it's easy, not because it guarantees success,
00:29:34.220 but it reminds us who we are capable of being.
00:29:52.000 Could we, in a country of 350 million people,
00:29:56.400 find 350 people that would be willing to do that?
00:30:04.220 Who would be mentally and spiritually prepared enough to do that?
00:30:07.860 This terrified me when I thought about this last night.
00:30:11.280 I'm not sure.
00:30:14.020 Can we find, because I don't think I'm one of them.
00:30:17.000 I don't think I'm spiritually or mentally prepared to
00:30:21.140 stand and just be called names and stand as a shield for somebody
00:30:28.100 and love the people who are spitting at you.
00:30:31.100 Can we find 350 people out of 350 million that could actually do it and would do it?
00:30:49.160 Let me ask you this.
00:30:51.540 Do you think you could find 50 pastors that would do it?
00:30:55.920 50, 50, 50, there are 100,000 pastors plus in this country.
00:31:05.320 Could you find 50 of them that would do this?
00:31:09.700 I'm not sure, because that's who should do it or should lead it,
00:31:20.160 because this is a spiritual thing.
00:31:23.400 We're not fighting flesh and bone.
00:31:26.340 We are not fighting these people.
00:31:28.280 Again, let me just go back to the one thing I just said.
00:31:31.160 I have people in my family that will no longer speak to me,
00:31:34.080 and it has been the biggest heartbreak of my life.
00:31:39.800 And I weathered this storm for 20 years.
00:31:46.600 And in the last five years, it just broke apart, fell apart,
00:31:51.180 and I have people who I dearly love.
00:31:57.260 I don't want to win.
00:32:02.980 I don't need them to say, you're right.
00:32:06.680 You were right.
00:32:07.960 You won.
00:32:08.780 I don't need that.
00:32:09.680 I don't want that.
00:32:11.940 I just want them back at the table.
00:32:17.320 I just want them to know I love them,
00:32:19.820 and that's more important than anything else.
00:32:21.520 And I want them to say, I love you,
00:32:24.320 and that's more important than any politics or anything else.
00:32:32.980 Every single tactic, if you will, that we play out,
00:32:40.100 if it's not led by God, it will fail.
00:32:43.480 We are now at the moment of saving Western civilization.
00:32:56.300 It's not saving our country.
00:32:57.940 It's not saving our Constitution.
00:32:59.440 This is saving Western civilization,
00:33:02.740 the Judeo-Christian principles that built half the world.
00:33:08.300 That's what this is about.
00:33:15.880 And if you want to save Judeo-Christian values,
00:33:19.260 you must demonstrate love for those who hate you.
00:33:24.580 I can't believe I'm saying this.
00:33:27.360 And I am not the guy for this.
00:33:34.460 But that is the only answer.
00:33:38.300 I can sit here and give you other political answers
00:33:41.200 and everything else, but that is the only answer.
00:33:44.780 This will not be won.
00:33:48.860 We have to reconcile with people who are under this spell of lies,
00:33:56.460 this spell that makes a medical practitioner say,
00:34:00.560 get a syringe and poison them,
00:34:04.080 give them a paralytic to scare them.
00:34:09.040 I hope that person no longer works in the medical field,
00:34:12.140 is banned for all time, but that's a spell.
00:34:17.920 Investing is all about the future.
00:34:19.940 So what do you think is going to happen?
00:34:21.980 Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point.
00:34:24.420 I think it would come down to precious metals.
00:34:27.040 I hope we don't go cashless.
00:34:28.880 I would say land is a safe investment.
00:34:31.720 Technology, companies.
00:34:32.860 Solar energy.
00:34:33.860 Robotic pollinators might be a thing.
00:34:36.460 A wrestler to face a robot?
00:34:38.160 That will have to happen.
