On this episode of the Glenn Beck Show, host Glenn Beck is joined by Peter Schweitzer and Harmeet Dillon to discuss the protests in Minnesota and the call for the "Face Off" on CNN's Don Lemon. Also, Harmeet talks about her new book, "The Devil Next Door" and why she thinks Donald Trump is crazy.
00:01:45.520It's not a single moment or a single appointment.
00:01:47.640They connect moms with counseling, resources, support, giving them real options and hope for up to two years after the birth of their baby.
00:01:56.480So they stay with the women through the journey.
00:02:24.080You know, we've been fighting every single day.
00:02:26.020We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:02:32.440We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:02:37.100But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:02:39.680Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:02:43.060Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:03:13.060So I'm watching all of this stuff unfold over the weekend.
00:03:24.140Gosh, with Canada, I can't wait to get into that with Mark Carney and what Mark Carney is doing up in Canada, cozying up with China in a big way.
00:03:51.380And then I'm seeing this stuff about Greenland and, you know, the German chancellor saying, we might hold back some athletes, you know, coming to World Cup.
00:06:23.800And let it settle just in an empty room for a second.
00:06:27.900Before you start putting all the other thoughts that you have in it, just hear it out.
00:06:31.620He believes, rightly or wrongly, that the American system built by Woodrow Wilson and then again after 1945 with Bretton Woods has been captured.
00:06:43.540It was hollowed out and it was used and turned against the United States, the nation that created it.
00:06:52.400So globalization, which was supposed to spread prosperity, concentrates power.
00:06:57.840The institutions it created no longer stabilize.
00:07:02.660All they do is delay collapse because they're not looking forward anymore.
00:07:10.900And that if you wait politely while the debt explodes, while supply chains fracture, while rivals prepare, that's the important one.
00:07:21.560While rivals prepare, that's not wisdom.
00:07:36.220If you, everything that you've learned since 2008 about the Tides Foundation and about Soros and about the DSA and all of the things you've learned about, that's taken us 25 years to learn about.
00:07:51.220If we would have seen them do this in 12 months, how overwhelming would it feel, right?
00:09:01.580We've been saying something's got to do something to stop it.
00:09:03.860That's why everybody's so focused on the DOJ.
00:09:06.800And I'm going to get to the DOJ, especially tomorrow, but I'm going to get to the DOJ in a minute.
00:09:10.900But Trump has done 20 years of work in one year.
00:09:17.780I don't think any president has done more, like it or not.
00:09:21.500I don't think any president has done more in 12 months, one year, than Donald Trump.
00:09:27.860And you may not like it, but you need to understand it.
00:09:31.860Because you know and I know we are looking at the possible end of America and the Western civilization, right?
00:09:42.120Isn't that what we're all fighting for?
00:09:44.080I was fighting for my country, but I believe Western civilization is at stake.
00:09:48.060And he is mobilizing all of the resources that he has to prepare for that so when that big battle comes, when that thing breaks, we don't go the way of the Great Reset.
00:10:02.140Remember, that's what the Great Reset is.
00:10:04.760The Great Reset was to overwhelm the system, to destroy our borders, to get people out on the streets and everything else, and put all of this framework in so when it did collapse, it would fall into that framework of the WEF.
00:10:20.860That's exactly what Donald Trump is doing.
00:10:24.080But I also believe he sees war coming on the horizon.
00:13:33.340He sees the future, and unlike the polite architects of multilateral management, thank you, Woodrow Wilson, he doesn't trust committees to secure the choke points in a world of scarcity.
00:13:48.900That's what we're headed for, a world of scarcity.
00:13:52.060When you are, when you are a world that is collapsed on its own weight, because I've told you, everyone is collapsing.
00:14:00.780This has never happened in world history.
00:17:47.100We've had the conversations about how immigration affects the economy, how it affects our culture.
00:17:52.100But when we realize this is actually something that's being wielded against us by countries like China, but also Mexico with a real agenda behind it, an agenda, by the way, that I quote them as explaining in the book, I think it puts the immigration debate in a whole different level.
00:18:09.340I have to tell you, I learned more in the first two chapters about Mexico that horrified me because I've always felt good about Mexico.
00:18:17.940You know, they have problems with the drugs and I felt bad for it.
00:18:29.080And if you don't mind, Peter, I may have to ask you to come over and join me tomorrow as well, because I don't know if we're going to get past the first two chapters.
00:18:37.200There's so much meat in here in chapter in chapter one is proof of concept.
00:18:43.840And it starts with Jimmy Carter and Fidel Castro.
00:19:19.760And this was really the first modern example of weaponized immigration, because what Fidel Castro recognized was we can actually attack the United States by sending them criminals, people that are mentally ill, but also people that are going to set up criminal networks and drug networks inside the United States.
00:19:43.580And so what we thought was a sort of random humanitarian event was actually a targeted attack.
00:19:49.820And I quote from a government panel that later looked at the Mariel boat lift and concluded that it was probably the third most lethal foreign attack on the United States.
00:20:01.320Besides Pearl Harbor and 9-11, the Mariel boat lift was probably the third most lethal attack.
00:20:07.080And the thing that's so genius about what Castro did is, you know, Pearl Harbor and 9-11, you attack us, what happens?
00:20:16.040We strike you back harder than you hit us.
00:20:28.120And this became a template for a lot of modern Latin American leaders in the summer of 1980, when this was unfolding, Fidel Castro goes to Nicaragua to meet with Sandinista leaders.
00:20:41.680And there's a young revolutionary there named Lula, who later today is the president of Brazil.
00:20:48.720And he sets up an entity called the Sao Paulo Forum with Fidel Castro, which includes progressive leaders from across Latin America and in the United States, the Democratic Socialists of America, which is Bernie Sanders and AOC's group.
00:21:04.420And the Sao Paulo Forum has weaponized immigration against us today, and that includes the Morena Party of Mexico and Petro, the leader of Colombia, and a whole host of other countries who have adopted this as their strategy to defeat the United States.
00:21:24.100OK, so so lay that out more carefully so people understand you're not just making that statement.
00:21:30.400This is a very well-organized, well-financed, and well-executed plan that is out in the open.
00:21:40.860Just none of us have ever seen it or heard of it.
00:21:44.880And look, again, this is not Peter Schweitzer asserting this.
00:21:48.540I mean, there are quotes throughout the book from leaders explaining what's going on.
00:21:53.700You mentioned Mexico, and I always thought of Mexico in the context of, OK, you've got kind of this hapless government, and it's corrupt, and they're kind of glad for mass migration because now they don't have to feed their own people.
00:22:07.200The reality is, in their own words, they view immigration very differently.
00:22:12.900Glenn, this is from a government report.
00:22:15.700This is a report written by one of President Scheinbaum's top aides in December of 2024.
00:22:43.180Here's a powerful senator who's also a member of the Marina Party who sits on the National Defense Committee, which is the most powerful committee in the Mexican Senate.
00:22:52.660Quote, we Mexicans are in our territories, California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Wyoming.
00:23:03.000We're going to take back the territory that was stolen from us.
00:23:07.140And, you know, Glenn, you hear these quotes and you think, OK, well, maybe this is just bravado.
00:23:13.120But as I point out in the book, they have actually created a network and infrastructure inside the United States.
00:23:20.160And this infrastructure, this includes Mexican government officials inside the United States who are organizing violent protests like those that hit Los Angeles, those that are in Minneapolis.
00:23:30.780And they are actively participating in our politics.
00:23:35.980They are working to elect Democrats who are sympathetic, a foreign government, to elect Democrats who are sympathetic to them on immigration and working to defeat President Trump through Mexican consulates that are across the United States.
00:23:51.820Peter, I have to ask you a question, it is it's when I first started talking about George Soros, I just thought I had discovered something new and I hadn't just there were very few people that were dumb enough to take him on.
00:24:10.080I didn't know the rules you don't take on George Soros, you know what I mean?
00:24:12.980So I exposed all this stuff and I because I thought it was new.
00:25:54.640The head of the Mexican news agency, which is like their sort of associated press, he says, quote, we are quietly carrying out the reconquest of our territories in the U.S.
00:26:05.660And the day that the gringos realized this, their diabolical fundamentalism will become macabre.
00:26:20.160But in other words, we need to keep this quiet.
00:26:22.680We don't want to talk about it publicly, because when the gringos, as he says, find out, they're going to be really, really angry about it.
00:26:30.340So we need to recognize what's going on, have an honest conversation about it.
00:26:35.820There are dozens of these quotes in the book from Mexican officials.
00:26:39.080And we go through and name the Mexican government officials who were at the center of the L.A. riots last year, who are manipulating our politics.
00:28:14.380Before we put our next guest on, I leave her off for a sec because I don't want to put her in a situation where she has to comment on anything.
00:28:31.840But you know how I feel about the Justice Department.
00:28:34.660I feel like it hasn't been doing its job.
00:28:36.580But there is one person there who is really kicking ass.
00:29:47.480But let me say, I was actually, you know, it's kind of a holiday weekend.
00:29:50.600I was on a plane back from giving a speech in Florida when the attorney general reached out to me and alerted me to this situation.
00:29:57.400So she's actually been engaged with this from the beginning.
00:29:59.860And I immediately activated prosecutors and FBI agents to go to the scene and start investigating both the FACE Act as well as related criminal offenses.
00:30:09.540That could include conspiracy charges, material support, and many others.
00:30:23.800It's only a question of when can we get a judge to sign off on arrest warrants and exactly what the charges will be.
00:30:29.540And those judges have to be in Minnesota, don't they?
00:30:31.760They have to be federal judges in Minnesota, and I have to go in front of them, so I'm not going to, you know, say what is on my mind sometimes.
00:30:41.200But let's just say that this isn't Texas and we aren't getting exactly rapid fire support for charges there on the PACE.
00:30:53.040People need to understand that, that there could have been arrests yesterday if Keith Ellison, the attorney general of Minnesota, enforced his own laws and Mary Moriarty, the district attorney of Hennepin County, enforced her own laws.
00:31:09.540Instead, we see Keith Ellison being interviewed by Don Lemon yesterday expressing his support for the victims of ICE.
00:31:18.700So we know exactly nothing is going to happen over there.
00:31:20.820So you have to understand the federal government has to jump through some additional hurdles.
00:31:24.920It isn't our job to enforce state law.
00:31:27.120And we're stepping in to do this here when the state refuses to enforce its own laws.
00:31:32.440So I don't know if you have an opinion on this, but, you know, looking back at the Shays Rebellion, you know, at the beginning of our country, the laws in where was it?
00:31:55.940And while it's not just the people on the streets, the court has been hijacked.
00:32:01.020They are not following through on the law.
00:32:04.700Um, the same with the, you know, the district attorney, uh, the attorney general, the governor.
00:32:09.540So is this a case for the insurrection act?
00:32:16.600Um, well, I think, I think I agree with the premise that law enforcement and law and order have broken down in Minnesota.
00:32:23.960I mean, I'm personally doing the state over their breakdown of their voting rights laws.
00:32:29.680I'm also investigating Mary Moriarty for systematic violations of racial discrimination in her plea agreements.
00:32:36.780I am probably now given the inaction by local law enforcement on some other fronts, going to open up another investigation into the failures of the local police there to do their job or do it only selectively on the basis of race or politics.
00:32:50.720And so it is a breakdown, but I mean, in terms of the insurrection act, I'm not an expert on that.
00:32:56.740Um, I do think that you are seeing multiple incidents of violence.
00:33:00.220And I do think that the attack on the church yesterday, thank God for the pastor who was so calm and the godly people inside that building.
00:33:09.240It could very well have tipped into violence, uh, very quickly.
00:33:16.380But what are people supposed to do when, you know, the last place you should, the place of sanctuary, the house of God was invaded by these thugs.
00:33:25.400And so I think that certainly some more law enforcement, whoever's doing it, would be most welcome in Minnesota.
00:33:37.880It is, um, uh, it was disturbing to see them coming to the church and very frightening, quite honestly.
00:33:45.200Um, and I just think Don Lemon is just one of the most irrelevant human beings on the planet.
00:33:51.760Um, and, uh, you know, I would like to say, you know, I think of him as an irrelevant guy, but I actually don't ever think of him.
00:33:58.300So it's even more irrelevant than that.
00:34:00.420But I'm not sure if he was in violation unless he was part of it.
00:34:05.760Is it, I mean, you wouldn't, do you go after the journalist that's reporting it or do you view him as something that was not just reporting it?
00:34:13.540Okay. Well, I, I, I'm going to reserve comment on that specific fact pattern, but let's just take a hypothetical.
00:34:22.360Okay. A hypothetical where a podcaster wants a news anchor is deciding that, um, he, he's, he's learning of a crime in progress.
00:34:33.740It's a bank robbery. Okay. And he's friends with the bank robbers and he sympathizes with them because he agrees with what they're going to spend the money on.
00:34:41.260So he, he, the bank robbers call him because they'd like some PR because they think what they're doing is great, whatever.
00:34:48.820And you decide to go along and you know that the group of people you're with are breaking into a building and they're going to commit a crime inside.
00:34:57.820And then you're going to stream it inside. Uh, that fact pattern is as much more dubious than how you put it.
00:35:03.040Um, and so I think, I think, you know, we're, we're investigating our facts. Um, Mr. Lemon has put several hours of video on the internet yesterday saying a very, a variety of things.
00:35:16.860Um, and I would, you know, if I, if I were his lawyer, I would probably say, you know, that, that, you know, maybe you should lawyer up before you do things like this.
00:35:26.520Um, but yeah, I have to tell you, I just, I just have to, I just have to make an aside here or for anybody who doesn't know who Harmeet Dillon really is, that would have put the fear of God in me.
00:35:38.220If I were Dodd Lemon and I heard Harmeet Dillon say that, I'd be like, holy cow, I'm going to prison because she does not mess around, but it's good.
00:35:47.760You know, he did see some of my tweets and he responded to them yesterday in a video mispronouncing my name and laughing and saying, this is the first amendment people.
00:35:57.100Um, look, the face, I have actually litigated this. I've represented, as you know, Glenn, a number of conservative journalists over the years, including flow, including pro-life journalists.
00:36:06.600Uh, I will say as an aside, Kamala Harris had no problem prosecuting a pro-life journalist, David Delighton, for exposing Planned Parenthood's fetal part trafficking.
00:36:18.920The United States Department of Justice under Merrick Garland had no problem prosecuting multiple January 6th protesters who had their cameras out and were filming and claimed journalistic privileges.
00:36:40.780You know, he doesn't understand the first amendment.
00:36:43.940He has, he has videos out there literally saying, uh, you know, F ice and F all the way off, you know?
00:36:52.500So there's no pretense of objectivity or what have you, but look, facts matter.
00:36:57.840And we're going to take a look at the exact facts there, but gosh, he keeps talking and, and, and adding to the record.
00:37:03.660And, and, and one of the organizers of this event, who he was outside kissing and bringing coffee to.
00:37:09.160What is a lawyer, uh, a NAACP lawyer, a black lives matters, nonprofit lawyer.
00:37:17.000Um, so, you know, the lawyer should have known better.
00:37:20.280This is, you, you, you just cannot, it, a privately owned house of worship, house of God is not a public forum for protest in the United States.
00:38:08.800I believe Todd, uh, Blanche has commented about that publicly, but it is, it is not legal to conspire to, uh, evade federal law, a federal law enforcement or obstruct it that I will just leave it at that.
00:38:23.860The, the governor saying he's going to put national guard into yellow vests.
00:38:28.960Does, does that not indicate that, you know, violence is coming to ice and you want to make sure that people know that these guys are on your side.
00:38:45.860I mean, ice is being obstructed in the state from, from arresting sex offenders, child sex offenders.
00:38:53.200These people are absolutely wink, wink, nudge, nudge signaling to the resistance in Minnesota that, uh, there's an us versus them mentality.
00:39:04.540And it is okay to be against the police and against law enforcement, federal law enforcement and get in their way and get up in their face.
00:39:13.440And frankly, I think it is, it is blood on their hands that people have already been injured and killed in Minnesota in this so-called struggle, uh, because people think this is a video game or something, you know, it isn't a video game.
00:39:29.640And when you threaten a law enforcement official, the test is an objective one.
00:39:34.280Did the law enforcement official reasonably fear for their lives, given all the circumstances and all the circumstances right now are that state officials in Minnesota are effectively putting a target on the backs of federal law enforcement with their rhetoric, with their actions, and, uh, people are getting hurt.
00:39:55.220Harmony, the, I did a monologue, I think last week and just went over the, just over the positions of power that had to have known or turned a blind eye to all of the corruption.
00:40:28.620But listen, let's talk about the timeline here.
00:40:31.020And this, this DOJ has continued a number of investigations and secured 62 prosecutions so far, convictions, I should say.
00:40:39.540There are other ongoing prosecutions going up.
00:40:42.180And what you do typically in federal law enforcement, even state law enforcement, is you get the lower level criminals and then you go up the food chain.
00:40:49.100So when there's plea agreements with these people, they have a requirement typically to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
00:40:55.200And I can assure you that you're just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
00:40:58.060Uh, so the, the, the, the, the rhetoric out there from, you know, my allies who are like, oh, nothing is happening.
00:41:08.140Uh, this DOJ has actually, first of all, sticking to the attacks on houses of worship.
00:41:13.920We in the civil rights division under Pam Bondi's leadership have convicted numerous people for attacks on Christian houses of worship, on beheading a statue of a Mary and, and, and, um, baby Jesus.
00:41:25.840And, uh, thwarted several attacks and on the Minnesota fraud front, numerous convictions, numerous investigations.
00:41:34.600Now we're dealing with this, um, and it's, it's a target rich environment.
00:41:39.500And we're dealing with frankly, some judges on the bench who slow, who slow roll signing arrest warrants, who don't agree with the politics and who don't frankly agree with federal law.
00:41:53.180And so we have to then get wrong rulings and then go to the court of appeals and get those corrected.
