The Glenn Beck Program - Justin Barclay filling in for Glenn- Massive Fraud Uncovered in Minnesota's Social Services Programs

00:00:00.000 Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies,

00:00:04.460 the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

00:00:09.060 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this

00:00:14.540 fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck

00:00:19.420 podcast? Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break

00:00:24.380 through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This

00:00:29.100 isn't a podcast. This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe

00:00:43.720 Now let's get to work.

00:00:59.100 Down the road where shadows hide. Feel the dark on every side. Stand your ground when times get dark.

00:01:04.400 gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

00:01:31.460 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:42.760 Well, it's never the moment. Usually I say it's like drinking from a fire hose. The news never stops.

00:01:50.760 It's constantly coming at us. And today is, it's no different. Even though we're in kind of a holiday

00:01:57.140 weekend, sort of weak, weird time between Christmas and New Year's when people forget what day it is,

00:02:03.360 I guarantee you won't forget the stories that are breaking today. The big one, in fact, is the Somali 1.00

00:02:10.060 daycare fraud out of Minnesota. It's a story so massive. What we're hearing and seeing now,

00:02:16.000 just breaking over the weekend, I believe just the tip of the iceberg. When I get into it,

00:02:20.600 break it off and let you know what we are expecting to see and what we're hearing already.

00:02:25.340 It's so big. I'm just telling you, strap in. It's not a one-off. It's the blueprint. And it's

00:02:31.440 finally being exposed. If you thought maybe it stops at Minnesota, you're not paying attention.

00:02:38.500 We'll get into it after this. Justin Barkley, NDA for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:51.280 Hello. We'd like to ask where the money's going. What do you guys think about the fraud that's

00:04:03.480 taking place here in Minnesota? I don't think anybody is enabling fraud to happen.

00:04:07.080 Governor Walz is accountable for this. What was this money spent on it?

00:04:10.460 $1.26 million. What was that money spent on it? Ask about it. Do you earn any kids? Answer the question.

00:04:16.680 Are there children? There's no children inside this building. Potentially the largest fraud scandal

00:04:22.320 in U.S. history is taking place in Minnesota as literally billions of dollars have been funneled

00:04:27.980 through Somali-ran fraudulent businesses. So much fraud, it could actually almost replace the entire GDP 1.00

00:04:34.700 of Somalia. These fraudsters have worked hand-in-hand with the Minnesota government

00:04:39.500 as they enabled billions of dollars to be given to fraudulent businesses underneath welfare purposes.

00:04:45.460 Nick Shirley is his name. By the way, the report, they're full 40-some-odd minutes. I highly recommend

00:04:51.620 you go check out what he's got to say and the story that is, like I said, just the tip of the iceberg.

00:04:58.720 You're finding out millions upon millions upon millions, hundreds of millions of dollars,

00:05:02.400 probably billions before it's all said and done with. And it is taxpayer money that has been stolen

00:05:12.280 and given out. Sounds like Democrats in some sort of, I believe there's an election scam involved here

00:05:19.080 too. You're going to learn a little bit more about that as well. But it all works together. And it's

00:05:25.200 an NGO issue. It's one that we've been seeing through the years now that is finally starting

00:05:31.500 to see the light of day. It only took a man with a camera. I think he's in his 20s. Nick is something

00:05:42.400 else. Vice President J.D. Vance saying, you know, this guy beats all anybody that's been honored for

00:05:47.840 a Pulitzer in years. I mean, the guy goes out, one man with a camera essentially, and knocks on the

00:05:53.000 doors. All he had to do is go knock, knock on the doors of these daycare centers. Nobody's home.

00:05:59.900 And yet they're being fed millions upon millions of dollars in order to, well, do something that

00:06:08.520 you would think is noble, right? Take care of kids. That's the goal here. But there's something

00:06:14.740 much bigger happening. And this, this isn't anything new. Elon's been ringing the alarm

00:06:22.240 on this for a while now. Doge and the rest of the project. This is back from the Cutter

00:06:26.900 Economic Forum, Elon, talking about the track records of NGOs and how they've used kids to

00:06:34.960 funnel this money essentially from your pocket into the pockets of those politicians, the folks

00:06:42.340 that contribute to their campaigns, the corrupt and more. Many times over with USAID and other

00:06:47.360 organizations, when they said, oh, well, this is going to help children or it's going to help some

00:06:52.100 disease eradication or something like that. I say, well, please connect us with this group of

00:06:57.580 children so we can talk to them and understand more about their issue. We get nothing. But they

00:07:01.700 don't even try to come up with a show often. It's sort of like, well, can we at least see a few kids?

00:07:07.760 I don't. Listen, it's not a funny. I'm just laughing because it's so ridiculous. But he's

00:07:16.060 right. I mean, can we, can we just, I'd love to help some people. Can we at least just see a few

00:07:20.480 kids? That's what happened when they went knocking on the door of these daycare centers, Nick Shirley

00:07:27.040 and so folks with the camera, they saw that they'd knock, but nobody was home.

00:07:36.000 Now this story, as I mentioned, the Somali daycare fraud out of Minnesota under Tim Wall's watch, 0.58

00:07:41.640 Ilhan Omar and the red that you, you're starting to see some things kind of come together here.

00:07:47.760 Hopefully you can start to see the pattern emerge, but I'm going to tell you it's, it's this thing

00:07:52.840 blowing up on the weekend is, is like I just said, it's just the beginning. It's not a one-off.

00:07:59.320 It's a warning flare. These viral videos making arounds over the weekend, all over social media.

00:08:05.980 And I'm glad to see it. Finally, we're starting to see some coverage on some of the mainstream.

00:08:12.120 In fact, one of the local, I think one of the local folks, maybe CBS did a story. I don't know.

00:08:16.620 I, I've got to tell you it's, it's crickets for a lot of this stuff. They don't want to admit it

00:08:22.080 because this is, if you really want to pull the curtain back and see how the sausage is made,

00:08:26.620 this is what they do. This is how they've done it. Like parasites sucking you dry in the country

00:08:33.980 thus for years upon years. I mean, this is, this is the blueprint. So Nick and another guy with a

00:08:43.140 camera and one of the folks that kind of tipped him off to this, they pull up to the childcare

00:08:47.640 centers there in Minnesota and they go knocking on the doors. And as you see in the video, nobody's

00:08:55.800 home and they get, they get met with some mad folks too. Some of this money eventually landed

00:09:04.660 in the hands of terrorist groups in Somalia, like the Al-Shabaab and others enriched themselves

00:09:10.420 all at the U S taxpayers expense. And in this video, we will break down all of the fraud from

00:09:15.720 start to finish from going to the fraudulent businesses and confronting the people who are

00:09:20.260 making millions of dollars from the government. And we will also be confronting the incompetent

00:09:25.260 government leaders who let this fraud happen. And to make this happen, I met up with a man who's

00:09:29.660 been doing his own investigation for years now. Again, this guy's a 20 year old case, a 20 year old kid.

00:09:35.900 You're telling me, you're telling me that a 20 year old kid, some odd year old kid can do this,

00:09:43.780 but massive, you know, billion dollar mega media corporations with all kinds of resources and

00:09:51.560 money, they, they can't, they can't get it done.

00:09:55.560 It's either incompetence or maybe they're involved. I don't know. Maybe,

00:10:03.820 maybe they don't want you to know what's really happening there. President Trump talking about

00:10:09.500 Somalians and the fraud, the billions being ripped off. 1.00

00:10:12.520 Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars, billions every year, billions of dollars. 0.54

00:10:21.900 And they contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88%. They contribute nothing.

00:10:30.840 I don't want them in our country. I'll be honest with you. Okay. Somebody would say,

00:10:34.320 Oh, that's not politically correct. I don't care. I don't want them in our country. Their country is 0.52

00:10:38.980 no good for a reason. Their country stinks. And we don't want them in our country. I could say that

00:10:44.960 about other countries too. The fraud is massive. And on a level, like I said, they,

00:10:50.940 they knock on these doors. All of it kind of looks empty. The lights off, no kids, no activity.

00:10:57.420 And yet they're still pulling down big money, your money. You know, some of the most,

00:11:05.100 maybe the worst, like most insulting part of the people are struggling, had been under Biden for

00:11:14.560 years, trying to get things back, Bidenflation and the cost of childcare, the cost of childcare alone

00:11:24.040 has been a big problem for many, many folks. And yet you have places where money was supposed to go

00:11:31.320 to help people. Somalians, not Americans. Imagine that. They, well, we're going to help 1.00

00:11:37.200 Somalians, not Americans here. But they're doing this all over in different places. The state where 1.00

00:11:42.660 I'm at, by the way, I'm in Michigan, a snowy, white covered Michigan today. And they're doing

00:11:49.160 very similar things here. They're doing it in states all across the country. Democrats, this is the

00:11:54.480 playbook. They've got money for everyone else, but they don't have money for the people who need it

00:12:00.840 most, apparently. And the people who would nine times out of 10, probably be voting for them

00:12:04.980 until they discover what's really going on behind the scenes. Fraud is fraud. Criminals should go to

00:12:12.380 prison. And that's, that's the point you can't ignore. We've can't just talk about this. This,

00:12:19.720 this isn't just, oh, well, let's, let's, let's hold some press conferences. You know, let's shine a

00:12:26.500 camera and the light spotlight on this and talk about it and be outraged. We've got to see 0.98

00:12:32.500 accountability. This is not just one daycare. It's a pattern across programs, across years.

00:12:42.680 And like I said, it's not just Minnesota. It happens other places too.

00:12:50.920 I want to talk about this. We're going to dig into a deep, in fact, somebody running for

00:12:56.080 governor in Minnesota, somebody who you'll know for his pillows wants to be your governor.

00:13:03.120 If you're in Minnesota, we'll talk to Mike Lindell a little bit later on in the program today, but

00:13:07.360 I want to dig through to talk about why this is happening and more importantly, how you stop it

00:13:13.680 from happening, how you cut this cancer out once and for all, because that, that's where the real,

00:13:19.680 I think the real conversation needs to happen. Cutting out the noise and getting really to the

00:13:28.000 solution of it all. Part of it, yes, is the awareness. You're hearing about this now. People

00:13:32.860 are finding out about it. You ought to be mad, right? Yes. But we ought to also take action in

00:13:36.940 the situation where we're in right now. We've got to see investigations, but we need to see arrests.

00:13:42.440 We need to see these people held accountable. We're not just talking about the fraudsters on the

00:13:46.040 ground. I'm talking about the politicians who enabled it, who allowed it to happen. It happened

00:13:50.460 right under their noses. And then how do you make sure that this kind of thing never happens again?

00:14:00.340 That's the key to it all. Again, Nick Shirley with the bombshell videos over the weekend that continue

00:14:08.140 to get people excited talking about this story. And I hope they don't stop. I'm just telling you,

00:14:13.780 I think it may be just the beginning. I certainly know the story is just the beginning of what

00:14:19.580 we're going to learn in states all across the country. But it is a story that many are calling

00:14:27.380 today. In fact, Senator Ron Johnson calling it this the tip of the iceberg. But folks,

00:14:33.900 this is a story that needs to be shared loud and clear. Let everyone get on the phone and tell

00:14:38.680 somebody to listen today. Well, first of all, we need to put all kinds of pressure on the state

00:14:42.200 agencies to give us their records. I'm chairman of the permanent subcommittee investigations. This

00:14:47.120 will be a primary focus of ours. We're already reaching out to Nick Shirley and David and other

00:14:51.840 people who can provide testimony for this. But we also need documents. So, you know, these agency

00:14:56.440 heads who funnel the federal money to the state agencies, they have to demand that the state

00:15:01.640 agencies are transparent. And unfortunately, particularly in Democrat controlled states,

00:15:05.520 they're not. They're refusing to turn over those records. I've got subpoena power. I will use

00:15:10.640 that subpoena power to obtain these records because we have to get to the bottom of this.

00:15:14.360 Understand, Somalis have just been in this country a few years. They're amateurs when 1.00

00:15:19.700 it comes to fleecing the federal government. And let's face it, the federal government is

00:15:22.880 probably the easiest consumer, the easiest payer to fleece. And states do it time and time

00:15:28.540 again. So this is just the tip of the iceberg.

00:15:30.940 Senator Ron Johnson. Again, I wanted to get to it because it's going to be easy to point the

00:15:37.140 finger at Somalis here. But don't think that they came up with this scam on their own, folks.

00:15:45.420 That's not that's not how this worked. How do you stop it? We'll talk about all of it next.

00:15:51.460 Quick break. Back after this, Justin Barkley and for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:58.760 Relief Factor loves hearing from pain free customers and hopes that you will be their next

00:16:04.020 person. Bill wrote in and said, I have been crawling under sinks and working long hours

00:16:07.980 for decades. My back and my knees took the punishment. And I thought my pain was just

00:16:12.700 part of the trade. But Relief Factor surprised me. Within weeks, I was working without wincing.

00:16:18.560 I could get down on the floor and get back up again without thinking twice. Bill knows hard

00:16:22.980 work. He knows pipes, tools, long days on the job. What he didn't know is how good life feels

00:16:28.440 when pain stops tagging along. It's Relief Factor. Relief Factor didn't change Bill's

00:16:34.140 trade. It changed his tomorrow. They've changed mine, too. And this is why I recommend you give

00:16:39.380 Relief Factor a try today. Relief Factor 100% drug free targets the inflammation that causes pain

00:16:44.540 so you can move better, feel better and actually enjoy life again. Try the three week quick start

00:17:09.100 Barkley, in for back today, it's Justin. And by the way, you catch up with me,

00:17:12.040 justinbarkley.com. I'm at Mr. Justin Barkley on social media everywhere from Grand Rapids,

00:17:16.640 Michigan Day, filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Love to hear from you, too. You can

00:17:21.780 email me, justin at justinbarkley.com. Carol just did. Thank you for checking in.

00:17:26.320 This morning, I appreciate it. The story's so big. Again, we're just scratching the surface.

00:17:31.620 The Somali fraud. The Somali fraud is just being exposed in Minnesota, but it's not. This 0.99

00:17:41.440 goes bigger than Somalis, folks. This is a Democrat scam. This is the blueprint they use with NGOs all 0.95

00:17:49.140 across the board. And it's what Doge tried to explain and explore and exploit exposed, but

00:17:57.740 they were kind of, you wonder why. You wonder why. I think now it's becoming more and more obvious. Here

00:18:03.580 he was. I think this was over the weekend on Fox early talking with the panel on the big weekend show.

00:18:09.000 Yeah, there better be change. People are demanding it. The investigations have been launched just from

00:18:15.680 that video alone. And so there better be change because, like I said, we work way too hard to be

00:18:20.500 paying taxes. We work way too hard to be not knowing where our money's going. And at the end of the day,

00:18:25.720 people in the government, they work for us. We don't work for them. And so it's their responsibility

00:18:29.260 to hold these people accountable. And so if there's not something that's happened, people are going to be

00:18:34.240 very frustrated. And so if President Trump's watching this, it's time to really get down to nitty-gritty

00:18:39.880 and to make a difference in this place of Minnesota that is pretty much like Somaliland, right?

00:18:45.420 We've seen that already start to take place. We've seen that Kelly Loeffler with the Small Business 0.74

00:18:51.920 Association has already started to take some moves as far as pulling back, clawing back some of the money.

00:18:58.540 So the Small Business Administration dropping the hammer on Somali fraud cuts off all of Minnesota

00:19:06.540 because you just don't know where this starts and where it ends. She's telling Benny Johnson that she is

00:19:14.840 disgusted from a report on X here and sickened by the expose, small business fraud. It's taking immediate action.

00:19:22.800 SBA cutting off and clawing back all SBA grants to Minnesota effective immediately.

00:19:27.020 says this is due to Tim Walls and his refusal to enforce laws governing small businesses

00:19:33.100 and the governor's allowance and facilitation of fraud. Loeffler says the SBA was able to uncover

00:19:41.120 half a billion dollars of fraud within days. Let's think in half a billion dollars of fraud within

00:19:49.020 days in Minnesota alone. I'm beginning to think we wouldn't have all this debt. We wouldn't have as

00:19:56.060 much as we have. And folks, we wouldn't be in debt if we didn't have all this fraud here in this country.

00:20:02.540 Imagine what your taxes would be next to nothing. She notes Trump administration will focus on the

00:20:10.300 state officials who built an industrial scale crime ring to rip off hardworking Americans.

00:20:16.940 The scope of this international scam is still unknown. Likely billions pending further review.

00:20:23.340 And that piece that I played earlier for you from Nick, just part of it, they shared that we've

00:20:33.740 already known that some of this money has gone to terrorists overseas, back in Somalia, back home.

00:20:42.300 Imagine that. We're funding with your taxpayer dollars. It's enough to, you ought to be upset about it,

00:20:52.460 each and every one of us. So what do you do? This is the, this is the find out era.

00:20:59.340 So once we find out and things are exposed, you got to move forward. There's got to be accountability.

00:21:03.980 These people have to be investigated. They've got to be charged. I want to see them in jail. And I

00:21:08.860 understand you're frustrated too. This is by the way, the system isn't broken. This is exactly

00:21:17.020 how this thing was set up to work.

00:21:21.420 And why? Because when you got politicians who love nothing more to cut ribbons and go out and pat

00:21:28.140 each other on the back and see what we did for the community here and there and the other,

00:21:32.380 this is easy. It's easy to throw around money, especially when it's not yours.

00:21:37.420 Well, it's not theirs. It is yours. And you have programs like this that had low barriers,

00:21:45.260 minimal records requirements. Of course, they're susceptible to fraud. So what do you, what do you do?

00:21:52.300 What do you do? You can't just, you can't just give press conferences. There has to be action.

00:21:58.700 So here's some of the things we ought to see. And we ought to ask the Trump administration moving

00:22:02.380 forward in Congress to take action on. But this is, this is just, what I'm telling you is just sort of

00:22:09.020 barrier to entry. We need prepayment verification on high-risk claims. We need cross checks, audits

00:22:15.100 with teeth, public transparency, and folks, probably the biggest prosecutions,

00:22:21.980 prosecutions that don't just stop at small fish. We need to follow the money all the way down the rabbit 0.79

00:22:28.700 hole. This is Glenn Beck. We are only a few weeks into winter and already brutal cold, huge snowstorms,

00:22:38.540 and of course, power outages. Think about this. If the power goes out when it's really cold, do you

00:22:43.340 have a way to keep yourself and your family warm? Winter power outages can even be life-threatening.

00:22:48.620 We learned this in Texas not too long ago. That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta

00:22:53.900 off-grid heater from MyPatriotSupply. It's a space heater. It doesn't use electricity or propane. It

00:22:59.900 runs on something called canned heat, and it's an indoor safe fuel. With Vesta, if you have it

00:23:05.660 stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm, keep your kids warm no matter what. And it even

00:23:10.060 doubles as a stove to cook your food in case you have an electric cooktop. The best part is right

00:23:14.540 now you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts when you order the

00:23:19.980 winter survival kit from MyPatriotSupply. Go to MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn. See

00:23:25.340 everything that's included. The offer is not going to last long, so go to MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn.

00:24:12.300 Well, I don't know if you've seen it. It really, like I said, it's been one of those

00:24:16.460 wild weekends. And again, it's like drinking from a fire hose. I always say never a dull minute.

00:24:25.020 We got another headline that broke over the weekend that's worth exploring. Iran declares

00:24:29.100 total war on America and Europe in huge World War III alerts. Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on

00:24:37.420 the Glenn Beck program. You can email justinatjustinbarclay.com, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y.

00:24:41.900 Justin at justinbarclay.com. I'm all over all the social places at Mr. Justin Barkley. But

00:24:49.820 wanted to reach out to someone who could maybe give us a little bit more insight

00:24:54.380 into what's going on. Obviously, Iran's been an issue. They have been a problem. The government there

00:25:00.780 for quite some time now. The goal to get the nuclear weapons. You've seen President Trump in

00:25:07.180 the strike and obviously the moves that he's made recently. Let's dig into this with us right now.

00:25:13.900 Ali Reza, Jeff Rosada is with us. He's the deputy director of the U.S. Office of National Council

00:25:18.780 of Resistance of Iran. And we appreciate you taking the time to be here with us, the author of The Iran

00:25:23.660 Threat. Sir, thank you for being here with us this morning and digging into this story. It is a big one.

00:25:29.980 Thank you so much, Justin. I really appreciate the opportunity to be on your show.

00:25:39.740 So, you know, digging into this, it doesn't seem like this is the headline is new, right? But to me,

00:25:49.100 is there anything new about some of the sort of the extremist rhetoric and language coming out of the

00:25:57.420 government there? Well, just to put things in a proper perspective, one has to understand the

00:26:07.820 behavior of the Iranian regime when it comes to their external actions is part and parcel of their

00:26:15.900 status inside the country. This regime has survived over the past 40 plus years only through war and

00:26:27.420 terrorism and nuclear development of nuclear weapons, firing missiles and drones. And for a good 0.83

00:26:37.420 reason, they are declared that the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. But at the same time,

00:26:43.980 they are very repressive on their own population inside the country. That's how they have survived and

00:26:51.100 stayed in power. The problem the regime is facing increasingly is that they have lost the grip of

00:26:59.020 power inside the country. A vast majority of the Iranian population are opposed to the regime,

00:27:07.340 and they want change. They want to end the rule of the clerks because, you know, Iran is a very rich

00:27:14.220 country with tremendous amount of resources. One of them is actually oil. We have the second largest oil

00:27:21.820 and gas reserves combined in the world, yet 80% of the Iranian population live below the poverty line.

00:27:30.380 People are rejecting the clerks who are very corrupt, very oppressive, and use the resources of the country

00:27:38.300 to pursue their own agenda, which is export of terrorism. That's why the more the regime gets in trouble

00:27:46.460 in order to hide their weakness and to deviate attention, they step up their rhetoric or their threat

00:27:55.020 externally. At the same time that they are threatening the United States and all the countries in the region,

00:28:01.260 the rest of the world, at the same time as we speak right now, this is the second day of major protests

00:28:09.660 breaking out in Tehran. Business people are shutting down their stores, the bazaar, which is, you know,

00:28:16.540 the business sectors of the city are shutting down because the Iranian currency has severely plunged and lost

00:28:25.900 its value. Today, the currency was 145,000 two months for a dollar. Just to give you a comparison,

00:28:38.940 when the mollusk came to power, with only seven two months, you could buy a dollar. Now it takes 145,000

00:28:48.460 to buy one dollar. That's how terrible things are. And the currency is really plunging. It's just an

00:28:56.460 indication of the disastrous economic state that the country is facing, and people feel that they need

00:29:06.300 to end this. And Ali Reza, Jeff Rosado with us right now. He's the deputy director of the U.S. Office of the

00:29:13.180 National Council of Resistance here in Iran. And we got a little bit of an echo here on the other end of

00:29:21.260 the line here. So I just want to see if maybe we can fix it, correct that here for folks listening,

00:29:28.300 so it makes it a little bit easier to hear. Yeah, this is interesting because we hear and see certain

00:29:34.700 things on the news in headlines that may paint a certain picture. But do they really give us the

00:29:42.540 full details, the breakdown of what you just talked about, the financial issues inside the economic

00:29:47.100 issues inside the country, what the will of the people actually involved there is? And again,

00:29:54.700 very different, it seems like in a lot of ways, from the extremist government.

00:29:58.460 Absolutely. You know, the Iranian population are exactly diametrically opposite to what the 1.00

00:30:05.660 mullahs, you know, the clerics who rule the country represent. There is a very deep rooted desire on the

00:30:12.700 part of the Iranian population to have a free society that would not be Islamic extremist. You know,

00:30:23.980 over 98% of the Iranian population are Muslims, but the vast majority of them are vehemently opposed

00:30:31.340 to Islamic extremism, how the mullahs are misusing religion to justify their fascist policies,

00:30:38.860 their terrorist policies under the name of the regime, the religion. And that's why people are fed up

00:30:45.020 and have done with it. You know, since December 2017, there have been several rounds of major uprisings

00:30:53.340 in Iran, people asking for change. And those uprisings were not just in one area of the country or just

00:31:01.100 the capital. It engulfed all 31 provinces of the country all over Iran. And it's not limited to only

00:31:08.860 intellectuals or certain sectors of the society. Everyone is involved. In fact, the most recent

00:31:15.740 uprisings engulf the poor, the deprived, you know, those are smaller towns and cities who used to be

00:31:22.860 the bedrock of support for the regime. And all of them are now turned against the regime. So you have

00:31:30.300 a regime that is extremely weak, is troubled, is rejected by its own people. But the only thing

00:31:35.820 they have in their hand is their nuclear weapons program, their missile program, their proxies 0.83

00:31:43.900 outside of Iran. The good news is that a lot of those assets, so-called assets for the regime,

00:31:50.700 are gone. You know, a lot of those proxy groups have been shattered, you know, from Hezbollah in 1.00

00:31:56.060 Lebanon to, you know, the Shia militias in Iraq to Houthis in Yemen. Their biggest ally in the region,

00:32:03.580 Assad in Syria is gone. And their nuclear weapons program, which we played a huge role in exposing 0.87

00:32:11.420 them since 2002, has been shattered. And that's why I think the world has to understand that this

00:32:19.180 is a troubled regime that makes, you know, threatens the rest of the world. But we need to understand,

00:32:27.260 this is not the same regime five years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago. This is a regime that is

00:32:33.340 so unstable, so weak. And the world has the opportunity to side with the people of Iran

00:32:40.620 to undermine their ruling regime and establish freedom and democracy in the country.

00:32:46.460 What needs to happen next? I mean, we've seen the attack, obviously, the strike on the nuclear

00:32:55.660 facilities there. But what's the next piece of this? Obviously, as you know, people don't want

00:33:02.380 to see war. Obviously, that's one thing that Americans have made clear. But at the end of the day,

00:33:07.660 this regime, who seems like, as you mentioned, he has weakening, needs to be dealt with.

00:33:12.860 Definitely, Justin, you know, the Iran is not any other, like other countries in the region,

00:33:21.740 Iran is not Iraq. Iran has a very organized opposition force inside the country and also

00:33:30.460 outside of Iran. You know, almost all of the major nuclear sites of Iran were exposed by the main

00:33:37.900 leading in opposition. The parliament in exile, the National Council of Resistance of Iran is that has

00:33:45.820 a clear platform, both for the overthrow of the regime, but also for the transition after the fall

00:33:53.260 of the Ayatollahs. This movement is headed by a woman, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi. She's headquartered in Paris,

00:34:02.540 but she has gained tremendous support both inside Iran, but also outside of Iran. She has introduced

00:34:09.020 a 10-point platform for the future of Iran that says ballot box is the only criteria for legitimacy

00:34:16.700 in the future of Iran. She has called for the separation of religion and state, for freedom of

00:34:22.620 religion, equality for men and women, free market economy, a non-nuclear republic form of government

00:34:30.540 in Iran, supporting peace in the Middle East. These are the things that are the desire of the

00:34:36.300 people of Iran. Now, unfortunately, over the past three, four decades, the outside world, you know,

00:34:42.700 Europe and mostly in the United States, they were just interested in reaching out to the regime,

00:34:48.380 finding a way of cutting a deal with the Ayatollahs, searching for so-called moderate elements within

00:34:54.540 the regime that actually, at the end of the day, helped the regime survive. That era is over. I think

00:35:01.580 it's the opportunity for the outside world, short of war or appeasement, to be able to side with the

00:35:09.180 organized resistance in Iran, recognize the reality that this is, Iranian people reject this regime,

00:35:16.220 they want change. We have a lot of support on the Hill. You know, in the House, there's a resolution,

00:35:22.300 resolution 166 that has the support of bipartisan support of over 227 House members. A similar

00:35:31.900 resolution is also in the Senate, which has a significant bipartisan support that they're saying

00:35:39.340 that, you know, U.S. and Europe, everybody needs to stand on the side of the people. There's no

00:35:44.940 need for boots on the ground or appropriation of money. That's the change we need to see.

00:35:49.980 And the prospect for change has never been so bright.

00:35:54.540 Well, I raise Jeff Rosada, the latest on this story out of Iran. And of course,

00:35:59.420 the deputy director there, U.S. Office of National Council of Resistance of Iran.

00:36:03.580 Thanks for shining a light on it and continue to pray for the folks there, obviously under the

00:36:09.180 thumb of that extremist regime and continue to pray for peace and, of course, prosperity

00:36:13.420 eventually in that region. Thank you so much. We really appreciate you taking the time to be here

00:36:17.980 with us today. Thank you so much, Justin. Always a pleasure. And again, Happy New Year. And I'm

00:36:24.940 very hopeful that the new year, 2026, would be a totally different prospect for both the people of

00:36:32.620 Iran, but everybody else in the region and the world. Think about it, Justin, a free Iran, a

00:36:39.260 democratic Iran, a non-nuclear, non-bullition Iran. What a difference it will make, uh, not just for

00:36:45.980 the people of Iran, but for the whole world. Yeah. You got it. Appreciate it. Thank you,

00:36:50.140 sir. And, and, uh, you know, as we talk about some of those major

00:36:54.220 moves towards peace President Trump has made in the last year, he's working on one this weekend,

00:36:58.300 Ukraine and Russia. We have the latest from that. We'll dig into it after this. Justin Barkley

00:37:02.780 in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program. The rope may break, but the ride goes on. This is Glenn Beck.

00:37:12.620 The older I get, the more I think about trust. I think about the people in my life who have my trust

00:37:29.820 and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused

00:37:35.260 that trust. I know we're alike in that way. We don't trust a lot of people anymore. It's like we're all

00:37:40.380 Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake. I find it a little

00:37:45.420 exhausting, quite honestly. And that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com. I didn't have

00:37:50.620 good experiences with buying and selling my homes. So we built real estate agents. I trust to introduce

00:37:55.420 you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with, that we have verified

00:38:01.500 that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible. Our network

00:38:07.900 agents share our sensibilities, have great track records, are good and decent people, and I trust

00:38:13.500 them to help you with your real estate needs. So whether you're moving across town or across the

00:38:18.140 country, visit realestateagentsitrust.com. The name says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:38:24.940 Hey, Justin, and for the day on the Glenn Beck program, email coming in from Aaron. Thank you for

00:38:39.340 your email. Stop talking about Minnesota. No one's going to jail. You're wasting time and breath.

00:38:45.740 This, and I will warn against it, and thank you for the email. If you want to email me,

00:38:50.460 justinatjustinbarclay, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y, justinatjustinbarclay.com. Love hearing from you.

00:38:55.320 But that's called the black pill. Sky is falling, chicken little. I got to warn against it. You got

00:39:00.380 to be careful because this type of philosophy or idea will make you think I just sit on my hands,

00:39:06.760 do nothing, get my popcorn, watch, and then just wait, you know, because the plan, you know,

00:39:10.220 got to follow and trust the plan. Something's going to happen. I don't have to do anything or the vice

00:39:14.380 versa. It's really, you can't do anything. And folks, that's what the enemy wants you to think.

00:39:20.460 We wrestle a lot against flesh and blood. We know that about the fight that we're in right now.

00:39:25.240 It is good and evil. We've got to be active. We've got to be involved. So the story about

00:39:30.560 Minnesota isn't just about Minnesota, and we do need to see a rest. In fact, we are seeing some

00:39:35.860 movement, probably not as much as you want to see. I share your frustration in a lot of that.

00:39:41.760 But I would encourage you to stay in the fight. It does matter. Over the weekend,

00:39:46.720 President Trump asked about the question, how things are looking in Ukraine and Russia.

00:39:50.760 Ukraine security guarantees. What number are we at right now?

00:39:54.500 Well, I think we're, look, you know, you can say 95 percent, but I don't like to say percentages. I

00:39:59.660 just think we're doing very well. We're very, we could be very close. There are one or two

00:40:04.020 very thorny issues, very tough issues. But I think we're doing very well. We made a lot of progress

00:40:09.040 today, but really, we've made it over the last month. This is not a one day process deal. This

00:40:14.240 is very complicated stuff. But I think when the president says 95, I think, you know,

00:40:19.340 it could be close to 95 percent. Yeah.

00:40:21.200 There he is at Mar-a-Lago with the meeting. And of course, Zelensky. One kind of funny

00:40:27.140 moment in all of it, by the way, that's very similar to what we've heard in the past coming

00:40:30.400 out. But another funny moment is the press is there. They're all sitting in the dining

00:40:35.360 room and they're about to have probably lunch. And he's asking the press if they'd like some

00:40:40.560 food. Listen to this. Are you okay? Is everyone fine? Margo, if you would. I think you could

00:40:47.780 sit outside and have some food. Would you like to have some food? Or do you consider

00:40:51.960 that a bribe? And therefore you cannot write. Honestly. Or therefore you have to write a

00:40:57.160 bad story. Okay. Because if you'd like, would you like something to eat at this time? Yes

00:41:03.160 or no? You can speak. Yes? Okay. Margo, take him outside and tell the chef to serve him

00:41:09.500 a little like chicken. The chef's going to serve him something nice for Mar-a-Lago. Then

00:41:13.180 he goes on and tells Zelensky, you know, they're still going to write a bad story about me anyway.

00:41:16.220 This is Glenn Beck.

00:43:14.180 Oh, and we're also watching shenanigans happen in Chicago.

00:43:17.120 It's these blue Democrat lefty cities where things continue to spiral out of control.

00:43:39.700 Relief Factor loves hearing from pain-free customers in hopes that you're going to be

00:43:50.120 the next that writes in.

00:43:51.240 Kim wrote in and said,

00:43:52.320 Before trying Relief Factor, Glenn, I struggled just to make it through my work days.

00:43:56.020 I'd collapse on the couch at night, aching everywhere.

00:43:58.700 Within a few weeks of starting Relief Factor, that daily pain began to fade.

00:44:02.560 Now I'm keeping up at work.

00:44:04.160 I still have energy left for my family.

00:44:06.080 My life has changed.

00:44:06.940 Kim's is the story of thousands of kitchens and office desks and factory floors.

00:44:15.980 Relief Factor doesn't just ease pain.

00:44:17.640 It restores your evening, your laughter, and the simple joy of just being present.

00:44:46.100 People are going to die.

00:44:55.260 That's what Elon says.

00:44:58.080 Well, it's happened before.

00:45:00.020 This isn't the first time that things like this, unfortunately,

00:45:03.980 part of that find-out era that we're in,

00:45:06.580 you fool around, you do find out.

00:45:08.900 These types of things have consequences.

00:45:10.940 We've seen it with DEI and several other issues before.

00:45:13.500 Well, this person with no experience as a firefighter

00:45:16.320 has just been named the head of the,

00:45:19.880 and you'll find out why here in just a moment,

00:45:22.380 the head of the fire department there in New York City, the commissioner.

00:45:26.400 Nor is a career first responder.

00:45:29.320 In just nine days, she'll be running the world's busiest fire department, 0.70

00:45:33.100 one of the most important appointments of the incoming administration.

00:45:37.240 It's just a glowing report here, by the way.

00:45:39.480 They deserve a leader who cares about their work

00:45:42.260 because she did it herself, who understands every detail,

00:45:46.540 and will fight tirelessly to empower FDNY

00:45:49.740 and make it the best firefighting force in the world.

00:45:52.900 Lillian Bonsignor began her career as an EMT in 1991 1.00

00:45:56.920 and was ultimately promoted to chief of the city's EMS division,

00:46:00.800 where she served for three years before retiring in 2022.

00:46:05.160 Although she never served as a firefighter, she's confident that won't matter.

00:46:10.700 I know the job.

00:46:12.120 I know what the firefighters need,

00:46:14.460 and I can translate that to this administration who's willing to listen.

00:46:18.900 I know what EMS needs.

00:46:20.400 I have been EMS for 30-plus years.

00:46:23.300 Bonsignor is a trailblazer for the LGBTQ community,

00:46:26.960 who will serve as the FDNY's first openly gay commissioner.

00:46:30.900 She's a highly respected, detail-oriented manager,

00:46:34.720 whose style has been compared to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish,

00:46:38.980 who will remain in her post in the new administration.

00:46:41.860 For these people, Zoran and the left and the rest of them,

00:46:44.920 you know, identity politics, the DEI stuff is,

00:46:49.060 well, it's the biggest issue for them.

00:46:53.080 Getting the job done, being fully able to get the job done,

00:46:56.560 is a second place, well, maybe even last place.

00:47:00.180 It takes a back seat in that fire truck, unfortunately.

00:47:04.560 Scott Singer's here with us right now.

00:47:06.220 He's the mayor of Boca Raton,

00:47:07.820 and probably seeing a lot of folks fleeing New York to the free state of Florida,

00:47:14.160 where I'm sure he's welcoming with open arms with some conditions, I'm sure.

00:47:18.540 Don't bring any of the voting for the leftist policies our way, he might say.

00:47:24.400 He's also announced a run for Congress.

00:47:25.960 Mayor, we appreciate you being here with us today.

00:47:28.740 Thanks for having me. Delighted to be here.

00:47:30.580 You know, this is one of the reasons,

00:47:32.820 but so many people have talked about the fleeing that's happening from New York City,

00:47:38.560 just one of the many reasons.

00:47:41.400 Electing somebody like Zoran Mamdani, you know, communist,

00:47:45.260 but obviously extreme in a lot of other ways,

00:47:48.700 got people really concerned and, quite frankly, freeing,

00:47:53.700 because they're afraid for their lives.

00:47:55.960 Yes, and we've been seeing people flee New York and their high taxes,

00:48:00.960 high regulations for decades.

00:48:02.540 I stepped up after COVID, and Boca Raton was the beneficiary of a lot of job creators

00:48:06.920 and innovators moving corporate headquarters here.

00:48:09.080 We now have nearly 40, we have more than 40 publicly traded corporate headquarters in our cities.

00:48:13.280 And in June, after Mamdani won the primary, we actually had targeted advertising trying to grow our job base here.

00:48:20.560 Boca Raton is a successful city, 100,000 people.

00:48:23.320 We can't accommodate everyone who's going to want to flee New York and more are going to want to leave,

00:48:27.540 but we are trying to focus on the job creators and innovators,

00:48:29.800 and that's helped us maintain a strong corporate presence and the lowest property tax rate of any full-service city in Florida.

00:48:36.060 Scott Singer with us right now, the current mayor there of Boca Raton,

00:48:40.240 and he is also chair of America First Policy Institute's Mayor's Council,

00:48:46.380 just announcing his run for Congress there to unseat the Democrat in his district, Jared Moskowitz.

00:48:51.880 So let me ask you, because I want to talk about your run, too, but as a mayor and part of the council there,

00:48:57.180 what are you seeing, this administration and the ability to work?

00:49:00.920 Because there's a massive difference.

00:49:02.340 In fact, I got a story today here coming up just a little bit.

00:49:05.960 It's kind of funny, but when you think about it, it's downright disturbing.

00:49:10.060 Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson doubling down, what's the name, a taxpayer-funded snowplow, abolish ICE.

00:49:17.440 Now, he's got to do, you know, cute little stunts like this.

00:49:20.220 At the same time, they've got folks getting murdered right and left in what they call Chirac these days.

00:49:25.340 It's just a shame that this type of stunt would be something that he'd take more time and interest in doing.

00:49:33.580 But at the same time, we've got mayors who care about their cities.

00:49:36.220 They're working with the administration.

00:49:38.500 You know, if these guys did, maybe they welcome in ICE and didn't take the sanctuary policy.

00:49:43.620 They'd see a lot better response.

00:49:47.080 Well, I don't think there's anything cute about it.

00:49:49.120 That's why I'm honored to work with nearly 50 mayors across the country

00:49:51.780 or focused on trying to get common-sense solutions implemented at the city level

00:49:56.500 and work better with the administration to advance an America-first agenda.

00:50:00.420 Let's talk about immigration.

00:50:01.780 President Trump shut down the border.

00:50:04.260 Miraculously, compared to what people said was not possible, he did be possible.

00:50:08.380 And our streets are safer as a result.

00:50:10.240 And I have mayors on my council who have been able to partner effectively with the help from the Trump administration

00:50:16.480 to drive out Trin-Delawagra gang members from their cities.

00:50:22.660 And these are not massive cities.

00:50:23.840 These are smaller cities.

00:50:25.140 That cooperation with the federal government to enhance policies that make streets safer is what we're about.

00:50:30.420 It's about common-sense solutions.

00:50:31.600 And it's part of the reason why I'm inspired to run for Congress, because we need people to focus on doing things,

00:50:36.520 not just grabbing headlines, not being obstructionists, not trying to shut down the government over extreme ideas

00:50:42.300 like funding health care for people who don't need it when Americans don't have it.

00:50:47.020 These are just some of the things that we need to take back our country.

00:50:51.020 I'm inspired by so many things that have been accomplished by this first year of the Trump administration,

00:50:56.620 but we need other people who are going to advance this agenda beyond the executive orders,

00:51:00.740 enact policies that are going to keep us safe, lower costs, bring jobs home,

00:51:04.980 and do all the other great things that are going on right now.

00:51:07.800 You know, I've got to ask you, too, as we talk with the mayor of Boca Raton,

00:51:10.920 who's running for Congress, Scott Singer with us right now.

00:51:14.780 Mom Donnie will be sworn in later this week.

00:51:16.560 I think Bernie Sanders is part of that whole ceremony,

00:51:19.320 which just makes you, I think, emphasize even more the sort of the clownish nature of it all.

00:51:24.620 But the circus continues.

00:51:27.840 You've been front row for some of the things that are happening, obviously, in New York City.

00:51:33.740 The things that you're hearing people as they want to leave that area.

00:51:37.900 Chicago's another place.

00:51:39.240 But we're also hearing now Minneapolis and Minnesota,

00:51:42.180 some of the things that are happening in that city.

00:51:44.980 And this weekend, massive news breaking about the fraud that's happening there.

00:51:50.440 And these folks, it's not just happening because they ignore it.

00:51:53.800 It looks like they're a part of this.

00:51:56.480 This is a whole other piece of what's being exposed.

00:52:00.740 That seems like it's straight out of the Democrat playbook and the blueprint for how to sell out America.

00:52:06.940 It's heartbreaking to see the massive amounts of fraud and how deep this is going.

00:52:14.660 And I even think back to what in Florida, when I had to take my kids to pre-K through, you know, the organization.

00:52:21.180 I paid for it, but the organization got funding from the state.

00:52:23.720 You had to sign in each student in a blue pen.

00:52:25.660 So to see reports of, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars going to entities that have no students is staggering.

00:52:32.600 And it is a part about what are we really focused on?

00:52:35.020 Are we focused on what's best for the American people?

00:52:37.120 Are we focused on a long-term plan to try to sway votes by allowing more immigration

00:52:44.060 and then convincing people to vote for one party?

00:52:46.460 That's not what we're about.

00:52:47.540 It is, it's concerning.

00:52:50.280 Going back to what you said at the beginning, yes, we welcome people who have the right mindset in Florida.

00:52:55.480 That's why.

00:52:55.980 But people are coming here, they're voting for better policies, and they're voting on the right way.

00:53:00.680 We've gained 1.7 million more Republicans over the last seven years net over other parties.

00:53:06.160 And it's helped turn the state from a purple state to a red state.

00:53:09.120 And part of the reason that I hope, you know, to earn a lot of those votes coming in the August primary and November election.

00:53:15.580 Like I said, Scott's running for Congress.

00:53:18.440 One of those big, I think, it's going to be a big push here, obviously, in 2026 to make sure that President Trump continues with the ability to have that path and has Congress to help.

00:53:30.240 You know, if Democrats take control of the House, they've already said they're going to impeach him.

00:53:34.140 They've already talked about some of the things.

00:53:35.640 I mean, complete, you know, deadlock in a roadblock with all the policies and the things that he's already been able to get done.

00:53:43.140 I mean, all of that's going to come to a screeching halt and we're going to have chaos again.

00:53:46.520 And if they get control, it's going to be a nightmare.

00:53:48.520 I don't think folks understand how bad it's going to be.

00:53:53.480 And that's why it's important folks like you are able to win and help enlarge that majority.

00:53:59.800 Well, I appreciate that.

00:54:02.100 And I think you're exactly right.

00:54:03.840 You know, the Democrats have made clear about what their objectives are.

00:54:06.580 It's not about new policy of the next two years.

00:54:08.400 It's impeach Trump, which won't go anywhere and just gets us in deadlock.

00:54:11.700 We saw this with a 43 day shutdown that accomplished very little.

00:54:14.600 And we have more threats of shutdowns.

00:54:17.060 You know, if we really care about democracy, then you have to give some deference to the party that actually won.

00:54:21.360 But in 2026, we're going to be on the ballot again.

00:54:23.660 And I think it's so important that people turn out.

00:54:25.680 We can't take our foot up the gas.

00:54:27.900 We need to move full speed ahead.

00:54:29.780 President Trump has done amazing things already for our economy.

00:54:33.260 The one big, beautiful bill will be transformative.

00:54:35.540 And we're going to see major impacts.

00:54:37.680 No taxes on tips.

00:54:39.040 No taxes on overtime.

00:54:40.200 We've become the party of the middle class.

00:54:42.280 And I want people to understand that.

00:54:43.840 And I think they are.

00:54:44.940 But it's important that we turn out the vote.

00:54:46.960 And I hope people will be voting for me.

00:54:48.600 You can find out where and how at scottsingerusa.com, my website.

00:54:52.900 We're going to put more information as we get closer there.

00:54:55.080 But we want people involved now.

00:54:56.880 We have a moment in our history where we can continue gains or we can backslide.

00:55:00.980 We can go back to the four years of the Biden inflation, four years of unsecured borders.

00:55:05.280 And we can't allow that to happen.

00:55:06.620 We need to get everything we can to keep our country moving forward,

00:55:09.520 improve our defense, improve our economy.

00:55:12.100 And that's why I'm excited to go try to do all I can to make us get on the right side of things.

00:55:16.900 Scott Singer is the mayor of Boca Raton in Florida,

00:55:20.320 obviously running for Congress as well.

00:55:22.120 The website is scottsingerusa.com.

00:55:26.300 Scott, can you hang?

00:55:26.980 I have another question.

00:55:28.760 But it's completely unrelated to what we're talking about.

00:55:31.300 I'm just so curious.

00:55:32.480 I have to ask.

00:55:33.580 Can you hang on for a moment?

00:55:34.700 We take a quick break.

00:55:36.440 Absolutely.

00:55:36.840 Back right after this on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:55:39.980 Don't go anywhere.

00:55:40.600 60 seconds.

00:55:44.280 The older I get, the more I think about trust.

00:55:47.160 I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust.

00:55:51.360 And the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.

00:55:56.120 I know we're alike in that way.

00:55:57.500 We don't trust a lot of people anymore.

00:55:59.340 It's like we're all Ronald Reagan.

00:56:00.940 Trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.

00:56:04.220 I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly.

00:56:06.820 And that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:56:09.920 I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.

00:56:12.780 So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents

00:56:44.380 All right, I just couldn't leave this.

00:56:56.380 And my apologies.

00:56:57.920 I don't know if you're tired of talking about this as well.

00:56:59.580 This is okay.

00:57:00.300 You don't have to answer.

00:57:01.300 But Scott Singer, the mayor of Boca Raton and running for Congress.

00:57:05.160 We talked about a number of things this morning.

00:57:06.700 But I just was looking at your information here.

00:57:09.920 And were you really a Jeopardy! champion?

00:57:15.120 Yes, I was.

00:57:15.960 It was a fun thrill of a lifetime to be able to go on a show that I watched my whole life.

00:57:20.340 It was on about 12 years ago.

00:57:22.260 Wow.

00:57:23.020 And a great experience.

00:57:24.800 Was that when Alex was hosting?

00:57:27.020 It was when Alex was hosting, yes.

00:57:29.160 Oh, no.

00:57:29.500 And actually, in law school, I had the chance to be on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire with

00:57:32.840 Meredith Vieira, too.

00:57:34.160 So I made more from game shows than I did my first four years of public service as a

00:57:38.700 councilman.

00:57:39.580 But obviously, this is not a career you go into because for the money, you go into it

00:57:44.180 because you love serving.

00:57:45.460 Yeah.

00:57:45.760 Oh, I can imagine.

00:57:46.800 What was that like to be on Jeopardy! and to be a champion?

00:57:51.160 And it had been quite the experience.

00:57:54.060 Quite a thrill.

00:57:54.980 You know, it's fun to actually play for real the game you watch at home when, you know,

00:57:59.200 everyone watches at home and you know the answer in time.

00:58:02.340 Well, you're competing with two other great contestants who you almost all know all the

00:58:06.960 answers to all the questions.

00:58:07.820 It's just a matter of whether you can ring in first.

00:58:10.460 That, you got to be quick on that buzzer, huh?

00:58:12.600 I mean, that's got to be it, huh?

00:58:15.980 It is about being quick on the buzzer, but it's helped me in public life.

00:58:19.080 You know, when I've had town halls, you get questions on all sorts of things.

00:58:21.880 When I'm interviewing with you, you get questions from different directions.

00:58:24.980 You got to be ready to respond and think about the question a little differently.

00:58:28.460 That's incredible.

00:58:29.460 So, you were a champion.

00:58:32.280 How much did you end up taking home from that?

00:58:35.420 From Jeopardy! $42,000.

00:58:37.820 That's good.

00:58:39.480 That's a good haul.

00:58:40.540 Man, that's incredible to make it on a show like that and actually be able to do it.

00:58:44.460 Well, I'm sorry.

00:58:45.660 You know, I had to ask.

00:58:46.780 I saw that here and I thought,

00:58:47.960 is there any game show that you'd like to go on that you haven't been on yet?

00:58:52.360 I think my days are over.

00:58:55.240 Jeopardy! was what I watched as a kid and it was a real thrill to be able to go on that.

00:58:59.020 And Who Wants to Be a Millionaire happened by luck when I was in law school.

00:59:02.340 I just happened to see that they were looking for contestants and went over the next day and they picked me.

00:59:06.440 I think I'm done in my game show career.

00:59:08.100 Plus, they don't really have candidates there.

00:59:09.640 But now, you know, I'm focused on what I can do to improve our nation.

00:59:13.560 I feel like this is a critical time.

00:59:15.800 And that's why I'm stepping up.

00:59:16.980 I had no plans to this is not something I planned out.

00:59:20.240 I got involved in my local community to improve our job base here.

00:59:23.500 And frankly, with the terrible policies that you're going to see in New York,

00:59:26.360 we have a great opportunity to really accelerate that because I want to create more jobs for my kids and for other people's kids.

00:59:31.940 But nationwide, I think we have an opportunity to bring back American manufacturing, restore our job base,

00:59:38.320 make sure we have better employment opportunities for everyone and so much more.

00:59:43.380 And again, inspired by what's happened last year and understand that we're at a critical juncture.

00:59:48.020 And that's why I hope people will turn out to vote because we can't lose the enthusiasm.

00:59:52.220 We can't go backwards to an economy that drags borders that are porous and American defense and national security weak.

01:00:01.460 That's why he's a Jeopardy champ, folks.

01:00:03.560 Scott, thank you so much for taking the time to be here with us today, Mayor.

01:00:06.800 I really appreciate it.

01:00:08.740 Thank you.

01:00:09.600 You got it.

01:00:10.100 Mayor Scott Singer, Boca Raton.

01:00:12.080 And I had to, I'm sorry, I had to ask that.

01:00:14.560 I just looked down at my notes.

01:00:15.760 I thought, I didn't realize he was a, he was a champ, Jeopardy champ, and he was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

01:00:21.000 So I, I, I had to ask about that.

01:00:24.920 But another one of those candidates, you're going to hear more and more of some of these folks obviously running for Congress,

01:00:29.380 but also maybe in the next day or so we can talk with some of these folks running for Senate.

01:00:33.600 There are 10, I saw released today, there are 10 seats at least that are critical when it comes to the Senate story that came out the other day.

01:00:42.900 We'll dig into that probably.

01:00:44.760 I'll be back with you tomorrow.

01:00:45.780 And maybe even get a chance to talk with somebody in one of those very critical races.

01:00:52.220 2026, 24 was about obviously getting President Trump back in the office and a miracle that really had to take place to get him there.

01:01:02.640 But your next question is, okay, now that we've gotten there, how do we continue to not only see, you know,

01:01:10.260 because we're just beginning to start to say, look, we can talk about it until we're blue in the face.

01:01:14.500 They'll, they'll, you know, and I think a lot of us, we need to, but they'll tell you that things aren't changing.

01:01:19.400 They'll tell you that things aren't working.

01:01:21.620 But I just disagree with that.

01:01:23.080 I paid $2.54 a gallon.

01:01:25.500 Now I'm in Michigan.

01:01:27.720 $2.54 a gallon for gas the other day.

01:01:32.640 That's unheard of.

01:01:35.340 When we've been paying upwards $3.20, $3.50, who knows, for the last four years, Joe Biden.

01:01:40.820 And every one of these folks on the lefties, you know, there are a lot of these people that had their, you know, medical degrees over the last four or five years.

01:01:47.760 You probably remember hearing from those folks online.

01:01:50.300 Well, they've all got their degrees now, apparently, in gas and oil.

01:01:56.720 And they all come out saying the same thing.

01:01:59.260 They all come out saying, well, the president doesn't control the price of gas or, and I find this to be incredible.

01:02:08.460 So Ford, which, a story I'm following closely here because I'm in Michigan.

01:02:13.940 But Ford just announced they got, you know, billions upon billions of dollars they're throwing away because of the unpopularity, I guess, probably the best way to put it, of the Ford Lightning, which is the electric F-150.

01:02:30.420 And I don't know, we're talking about billions of dollars of money that they're just, they've flushed down the drain.

01:02:38.580 Now, they're backing out of it because it, they said, well, the market didn't bear it out.

01:02:44.220 Well, it was policy changes.

01:02:46.540 President Trump comes in and says, we're not going to do this green new scam thing again.

01:02:50.740 We're done with it.

01:02:51.760 The green pipe dream, we're done with it.

01:02:53.720 We're going to get rid of it.

01:02:54.700 And we're not going down this road anymore.

01:02:57.560 And they're forced to because the policies in real life had teeth.

01:03:05.420 They actually bared out.

01:03:08.300 And that is the same when it comes to oil and gas.

01:03:12.460 The policies of the president and how he has said, we're not going down this electric vehicle road again.

01:03:19.000 We're done.

01:03:20.680 We're putting the brakes on this.

01:03:22.860 How dare you?

01:03:23.820 Yeah, Shkrat is not happy either. 0.96

01:03:25.640 But you're telling me that Ford will switch gears.

01:03:30.960 In fact, will a U-turn billions of dollars.

01:03:35.260 President can impact that industry and his policies do, but they don't impact the price of gas at the pump.

01:03:42.860 That's just incredible.

01:03:45.000 Ridiculous.

01:03:46.180 Peak insanity.

01:03:48.120 More truth, logic, and common sense.

01:03:49.700 Coming up next on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:03:51.520 Just get in for Glenn today.

01:03:52.540 We are only a few weeks.

01:03:54.000 This is Glenn Beck.

01:03:56.420 Huge snowstorms and, of course, power outages.

01:03:58.800 Think about this.

01:03:59.480 If the power goes out when it's really cold, do you have a way to keep yourself and your family warm?

01:04:04.540 Winter power outages can even be life-threatening.

01:04:07.620 We learned this in Texas not too long ago.

01:04:09.740 That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off-grid heater from MyPatriot Supply.

01:04:15.000 It's a space heater.

01:04:16.520 It doesn't use electricity or propane.

01:04:18.680 It runs on something called canned heat.

01:04:20.700 And it's an indoor safe fuel.

01:04:22.940 With Vesta, if you have it stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm, keep your kids warm no matter what.

01:04:28.400 And it even doubles as a stove to cook your food in case you have an electric cooktop.

01:04:31.820 The best part is, right now, you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts when you order the winter survival kit from MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn.

01:04:43.960 See everything that's included.

01:04:45.440 The offer is not going to last long, so go to MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn.

01:05:23.960 January 5th at GlennBeck.com.

01:05:26.820 It's not just Minnesota, by the way.

01:05:34.720 Minnesota, by the way.

01:05:36.640 It's not just Minnesota where the fraud is happening.

01:05:40.200 I've been talking about it this morning, but Scott, or excuse me, Nick Shirley and the expose he's done.

01:05:45.380 A kid with a camera has done more to expose the truth about what's happening in the scam Democrats.

01:05:51.200 And, of course, those folks in Minnesota are doing with this daycare fraud.

01:05:57.080 It's not, I told you, it's not just, in fact, you're going to see other states.

01:06:01.040 These stories will begin to become more and more prevalent.

01:06:05.200 You're going to hear more and more about it.

01:06:06.680 Ohio attorney is talking about it in this video, I think, for Breitbart.

01:06:12.100 Confirming massive fraud in another situation, a hotbed for Somalis. 1.00

01:06:17.500 This is Ohio.

01:06:18.520 They run a fake, quote, home health service and bill $250,000 per year per family when no one, and no one's working.

01:06:30.200 Nothing's actually being done.

01:06:31.540 Also happens in Pennsylvania.

01:06:33.260 And I think you're going to start seeing more on these stories in the days ahead.

01:06:38.580 But here's a little bit of the coverage on this from this attorney.

01:06:42.720 So these individuals tried to report the fraud that was happening in Ohio and then eventually came to me to say that we're watching providers rubber stamp paperwork for home health.

01:06:54.400 So in Ohio, and there's many states like this, Pennsylvania and other states, too, where you can go in and you can say, my aging parent needs a home health care, and I want to provide it.

01:07:05.740 So the state will, as long as a doctor has approved it, continue to pay you.

01:07:10.100 It could be for 10 hours, 12 hours, up to 24 when it's critical care.

01:07:14.000 So you could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn't need it, make about $75,000 to $90,000 a year.

01:07:21.420 Now you add two parents, that's $180,000.

01:07:23.100 Now you add your in-laws, $250,000.

01:07:24.960 You continue to add this, and you wonder, what are the services being provided?

01:07:29.360 Where do I sign up?

01:07:32.240 That's the other guy, where do I sign up for this?

01:07:35.420 So a lot of providers came and said, fraud is occurring because we said we weren't going to rubber stamp this paperwork, so they went to other providers.

01:07:44.160 Their home health care network saying, we'll make it worth your while.

01:07:46.900 Well, sounds like a kickback to me.

01:07:48.720 So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it's increased since the Somalian population came, and who really needs critical care?

01:07:57.600 Because that's meant for our disabled, our elderly, and people who really need it, not to just live off our system.

01:08:03.780 And that's what's happening in Ohio.

01:08:05.120 I think it's ridiculous.

01:08:06.620 I think it's despicable.

01:08:07.740 But authorities are now looking at it from the Attorney General's office to the U.S. Attorney's office.

01:08:12.860 I flagged them all because this is Ohio tax dollars, and we have to take it seriously.

01:08:17.700 I'm tired of people telling me, well, this is the way it's always been.

01:08:20.240 It's subjective, and we can't really check.

01:08:22.540 No, you can.

01:08:23.640 Audit America.

01:08:24.540 Audit Ohio now.

01:08:25.520 And I'm pushing for that in every single state.

01:08:27.640 You know, it's a really good point, and one that she makes here.

01:08:34.260 When these things happen, you've got a couple of victims.

01:08:39.500 Not only are we as taxpayers victimized by this corruption, but we're also seeing that happen with the people who need it most.

01:08:49.300 This all came out with the food stamps, the snap, and all that.

01:08:52.360 But you're putting the most vulnerable amongst us at risk.

01:09:01.720 These people may not get the help and the care that they need because you've got people gaming the system.

01:09:09.480 Because you've got people that are out there trying to, in corruption, trying to suck us dry, all of this money.

01:09:27.060 Now, I think this might be a local news report out of Minnesota.

01:09:31.380 If so, this might be the first I've seen.

01:09:34.580 They're finally starting to cover it.

01:09:35.780 I started by visiting Quality Learning Center Daycare.

01:09:38.840 So it is that 14B, which sits right in the heart of downtown Minneapolis.

01:09:43.520 Between 2019 and...

01:09:44.700 It's a busted-up door-slash window with a board over the top and graffiti on it.

01:09:49.740 Looks quality to me.

01:09:50.900 2023, the Minnesota Department of Human Services found 95 violations at this location.

01:09:56.720 They range from failure to keep hazardous items away from children to no records for 16 children,

01:10:03.760 which include things like immunizations, emergency contacts, and medical needs.

01:10:08.760 So state investigators placed Quality Learning Center on a conditional license in 2022.

01:10:14.540 I went to the daycare's location several times and only once did I see people there.

01:10:19.400 Oh, that's your daycare. 0.54

01:10:20.500 But I did not see any children.

01:10:23.060 So there are 80 kids in there?

01:10:24.460 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:10:27.700 After school?

01:10:28.580 Okay, gotcha.

01:10:29.600 All right, thank you.

01:10:30.920 DHS declined.

01:10:32.040 Sure, sure.

01:10:33.520 After school?

01:10:34.300 Okay.

01:10:34.700 But in a statement acknowledged Quality Learning Center was put on a conditional license because

01:10:40.060 of its poor safety record.

01:10:41.920 But it still received nearly $8 million in taxpayers' money since 2019.

01:10:47.920 That's incredible.

01:10:51.400 That is incredible.

01:10:52.760 It looks like this is Eyewitness News 5 ABC who did this report.

01:11:00.140 I just, just the tip of the iceberg.

01:11:04.120 We've been talking about this throughout the show and I guarantee you're going to hear more

01:11:09.020 and more about this.

01:11:10.280 It's just another, another one of these stories that you're finally starting the blueprint,

01:11:19.040 starting to see it come to light here.

01:11:20.620 This is how they've, they've gotten away with it for years.

01:11:24.440 They've gotten away with this for years.

01:11:26.860 And the NGO, the whole game is starting the show game, starting the crumble.

01:11:33.720 And good.

01:11:35.500 And good.

01:11:36.060 Justin at JustinBarkley.com is my email.

01:11:38.720 You can, you can shoot me one.

01:11:40.240 I'd love to hear from you during the program today.

01:11:42.600 Phone in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:11:44.460 Justin, Justin at JustinBarkley.com is the, the email.

01:11:48.300 Well, what else is happening in some of these Democrat blue cities?

01:11:52.960 I mentioned when we talk to Mayor Boca Raton earlier about some of the really bad things,

01:11:59.220 Mount Donnie and the DEI hires there and some of the really bad things that are coming for New Yorkers.

01:12:05.080 Things are already happening.

01:12:06.580 I think his approval rating is in the, in the single digits.

01:12:09.600 The mayor of Chicago, Chirac as they call it, Mayor Brandon Johnson.

01:12:13.640 A cute stunt wants to name a taxpayer funded snowplow, abolish ice. 1.00

01:12:20.920 He wants to put that on, I guess, on the signage for the snowplow.

01:12:26.520 Meanwhile, how many people were murdered over the Christmas weekend alone?

01:12:32.180 In fact, every weekend.

01:12:33.440 This isn't every, unfortunately, everyday thing in places like Chirac.

01:12:39.600 Quote, abolish ice.

01:12:41.540 It's funny and it's clever.

01:12:44.240 What are citizens saying both about naming the plow and about ice's actions in the city?

01:12:50.600 Reverend Al Sharpton.

01:12:53.920 Well, you know, you know, Reverend Al, you know, from the very beginning of this administration,

01:12:59.840 I made a commitment to ensure that we protect working people.

01:13:04.460 But really, you know, this was really about protecting our democracy and, you know, when putting a sticker on a snowplow.

01:13:12.600 Oh, yeah.

01:13:13.240 That's the resistance right there, buddy.

01:13:15.240 The Trump administration moved on, you know, the big nasty bill.

01:13:20.360 Now, I don't know.

01:13:21.160 I don't know if enough people actually realize this, but the amount of money that the ice division of our government has received as a result of this administration is quite significant.

01:13:32.800 In fact, there are only two other entities that have a larger budget than ICE.

01:13:37.900 It's the United States military and it's China's military.

01:13:41.560 And he has used it as a privatized force to enact terror.

01:13:46.640 So this is the problem.

01:13:48.380 Law enforcement is the problem.

01:13:51.740 Enforcing the law is the problem, not the criminals.

01:13:55.100 That's where they get all this backwards.

01:13:56.660 By the way, this guy knows.

01:13:59.180 He's got folks, black, Hispanic, et cetera, showing up at these city council meetings.

01:14:08.240 Absolutely.

01:14:09.800 Just enraged with the fact that he won't allow President Trump to come in and do the things that need to be done to restore law and order and peace in the city of Chicago.

01:14:20.520 What's he doing?

01:14:21.240 He's naming a plow truck.

01:14:26.160 Abolish ICE.

01:14:27.100 I mean, I just, you can't make this stuff up.

01:14:32.420 At the same time, at least 28 people shot.

01:14:36.540 I think six killed.

01:14:39.600 Was that Christmas the last few days alone in Chicago?

01:14:44.800 I believe that's ahead.

01:14:45.980 Let me fact check that and I'll get back.

01:14:48.780 It sounds about right, but let me fact check it and I'll get back to you on that.

01:14:53.720 But it's insane to see what is happening with the folks in some of these leftist cities.

01:15:02.440 Folks, we'll get to that coming up in just a moment.

01:15:04.420 Take a quick break.

01:15:05.340 It's Justin Barkley.

01:15:06.440 We're back for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:16:31.880 See Blinds.com for details.

01:16:36.320 All right.

01:16:44.780 Here we found it.

01:16:45.820 While the mayor of Chicago is busy putting stickers on snowplows, you know, to make people feel safer.

01:16:53.520 Stickers that say abolish ICE.

01:16:55.280 The mayor's town is being inundated by real violence.

01:17:01.340 At least 28 shot.

01:17:02.620 That was the number we got.

01:17:03.460 Chicago Sun-Times.

01:17:05.700 Since the start of the holiday stretch, Wednesday, December 24th through the 28th.

01:17:11.620 Chicago Sun-Times.

01:17:13.040 28 shot.

01:17:14.440 Six.

01:17:16.080 Dead.

01:17:16.560 So the mayor and his cute little stunt, unfortunately, backfiring in a big way for folks there in Chicago.

01:17:29.160 And it's, you hate to see it.

01:17:33.860 Because every one of those numbers, you're talking about real people.

01:17:37.060 No matter what they do or what they say, we're talking about real people.

01:17:44.460 And this idiot, it's so unnecessary.

01:17:49.260 It's so needless.

01:17:50.160 I mean, it's obvious.

01:17:51.360 It's clear what needs to be done here.

01:17:53.520 And anybody with a couple of brain cells would tell you.

01:17:57.740 That's what we're watching.

01:17:59.200 It's all part of the scam.

01:18:00.240 Elon puts it this way, by the way.

01:18:02.240 What we saw there is just a tremendous amount of money being sent to non-governmental organizations.

01:18:08.800 But actually, this, by the way, is I think one of the biggest sources of fraud in the world,

01:18:13.220 is government-funded non-governmental organizations.

01:18:16.620 This is a gigantic fraud loophole where the government can give money to an NGO,

01:18:24.100 and then there are no controls over that NGO.

01:18:26.560 So your money just, you basically, well, it's flying away in the wind.

01:18:40.000 That's the best way I can put it, without saying things that I can't say on the air here.

01:18:45.160 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

01:18:48.740 We continue by, this is an old video, but it's worth showing.

01:18:54.340 Tim Walz doubling down on bringing, now we know why he's so, he ended up bringing the Somalis in. 0.98

01:19:00.660 Governor Walz, what can you say about the latest on the Somali fraud that happened under your watch, sir?

01:19:05.860 Governor, have you been able to apologize yet to the people of Minnesota for allowing this Somali fraud to continue under your watch? 1.00

01:19:12.340 I can't be able to apologize of the people of Minnesota.

01:19:13.560 Is it time to apologize?

01:19:15.180 How about the whistleblowers that you have allegedly retaliated against?

01:19:20.160 Would you like to respond to the whistleblowers?

01:19:22.560 And right now, our neighbors are being demonized.

01:19:25.440 Our neighbors are being paralyzed.

01:19:27.120 Our neighbors are being picked up off the streets.

01:19:30.100 The antidote to that is, is positive actions to improve lives that go against what they're trying to do.

01:19:37.020 So instead of demonizing our Somalis community, we're going to do more to welcome more in and welcome people in there.

01:19:43.020 If you've got a comment for me, we're going to do a new set.

01:19:47.740 With more money.

01:19:48.620 We're going to suck more money out of the taxpayers of this great country.

01:19:52.660 That's, that's essentially what Tim Walz wants to do.

01:19:57.420 And, and I think it's front lines, the TPUSA thing that they, they, they put out there.

01:20:04.000 I, I, uh, you know, now this piece is starting to come.

01:20:08.260 I don't think it's ever been more obvious why they're doing it and exactly what they're doing.

01:20:17.060 By the way, a guest coming up next hour, talk about this in his home state of Minnesota as he gears up for a run.

01:20:25.020 A run for governor.

01:20:26.240 We'll talk with Mike Lindell on the way.

01:20:28.460 And I, I'm sure he'll have a thing or two to say about this and, uh, maybe even how it ties into the election issues.

01:20:36.200 Now, have you seen the Ilhan Omar?

01:20:37.840 She refuses to talk about it.

01:20:39.380 She doesn't want to say apparently her husband's firm, $30 million, quietly scrubbing names from the website.

01:20:48.320 As the squad member faces mounting questions on sudden wealth.

01:20:53.820 I wonder what happened.

01:20:55.300 How did she suddenly get so wealthy? 0.80

01:21:00.360 How did that possibly happen?

01:21:03.540 I can't imagine.

01:21:05.020 Any idea?

01:21:05.920 No, no.

01:21:06.520 It's just absolutely baffling to me.

01:21:08.800 How did, how did her and her husband get so wealthy there? 0.58

01:21:14.520 Now, when I say husband, I don't mean her brother.

01:21:16.280 That's the other one.

01:21:16.900 This is the new one.

01:21:17.640 I, I think.

01:21:22.920 I know.

01:21:23.560 It's so confusing.

01:21:24.440 All of this is just so confusing.

01:21:26.120 You know, you've got to put the pieces together here.

01:21:28.240 And it's hard to keep up with on, on some of this.

01:21:32.440 But her husband's venture capital firm, quietly scrubbing key officer details, including former Obama officials, as scrutiny grows.

01:21:42.440 The New York Post writes, over the family's skyrocketing wealth.

01:21:47.720 The Post has learned, Omar went from being nearly broke to worth up to $30 million in just a year.

01:21:57.320 Well, well, I'm sure that was just luck.

01:22:02.520 You know, a massive, up to $9 billion fraud scheme involving the Somali community and her district unfolding right under her nose. 0.96

01:22:13.160 Nothing to see here, folks.

01:22:16.040 Nothing to see here.

01:22:18.780 It's Barkley in for Beck today.

01:22:21.040 We'll continue back with Mike Lindell after this on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:25.060 This is Glenn Beck.

01:22:38.880 We'll be right back with Mike Lindell.

01:23:08.880 We'll be right back with Mike Lindell.

01:23:38.880 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:44.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:50.880 The fraud is at levels maybe never really uncovered or seen before.

01:23:57.520 Yet, I believe it's happening in more and more places.

01:24:00.880 This is a story Nick surely just uncovered over the weekend in Minnesota.

01:24:05.920 All of these fraudulent daycare situations, getting millions upon millions of dollars, taxpayer money, and there are no kids.

01:24:15.740 When they go knock on the door, there's nobody to be found.

01:24:17.880 It's the latest scam.

01:24:19.880 It's the latest scam, and I wonder if it ties in to elections as well.

01:24:24.880 Now, he's running for governor in the state of Minnesota.

01:24:28.880 We'll talk with our good friend Mike Lindell.

01:24:30.780 Once the pillow guy, now wants to be your governor. 0.51

01:24:38.240 From my pillow to my governor.

01:24:39.940 That'd be a heck of a change.

01:24:41.080 We'll talk to him right after this.

01:24:43.360 This is Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:52.360 We are only a few weeks into winter and already brutal cold, huge snowstorms, and, of course, power outages.

01:24:59.040 Think about this.

01:24:59.700 If the power goes out when it's really cold, do you have a way to keep yourself and your family warm?

01:25:04.820 Winter power outages can even be life-threatening.

01:25:07.600 We learned this in Texas not too long ago.

01:25:10.000 That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off-grid heater from MyPatriotSupply.

01:25:15.500 It's a space heater.

01:25:16.740 It doesn't use electricity or propane.

01:25:18.920 It runs on something called canned heat, and it's an indoor-safe fuel.

01:25:23.120 With Vesta, if you have it stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm, keep your kids warm no matter what.

01:25:28.620 And it even doubles as a stove to cook your food in case you have an electric cooktop.

01:25:32.060 The best part is, right now, you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts when you order the Winter Survival Kit from MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn.

01:25:44.200 See everything that's included.

01:25:45.680 The offer is not going to last long, so go to MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn.

01:25:50.560 MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn.

01:25:52.800 From my pillow to my governor.

01:26:03.120 I think it has a nice ring to it.

01:26:06.120 Mike Lindell joining us now on the Glenn Beck program.

01:26:09.640 Justin in for Glenn today.

01:26:10.740 Mike, welcome in.

01:26:11.560 Appreciate you being here with us.

01:26:13.620 Well, thanks for having me on.

01:26:15.280 Hey, it's a heck of a day to have you on.

01:26:17.560 Wanted to talk to you about your run for governor,

01:26:19.360 and we got this massive story breaking over the weekend from Nick Shirley and the governors there, Tim Walls, trying to hide from it.

01:26:27.480 But there's massive amounts of fraud, millions upon millions of dollars, at least it appears, for daycare centers that are empty.

01:26:34.780 Children here in your child care?

01:26:36.500 Which child care name is?

01:26:38.360 Minnesota Child Care right here.

01:26:40.320 It's from the state of Minnesota's website.

01:26:42.460 We're just wondering where the children are.

01:26:45.300 Where the children are?

01:26:46.860 Yeah, where are the children?

01:26:47.740 It says you have 102 children here, and you got $2.66 million this year in funding, and $2.5 million last year.

01:26:56.720 We're just wondering where the kids are.

01:26:58.820 This is incredible.

01:26:59.740 Eventually, the woman that closes the door slams the door on them. 1.00

01:27:03.480 Right.

01:27:04.140 But, Mike, it's incredible to watch this.

01:27:08.240 Well, it really is, and it's something everybody can understand, going, okay, you can't even argue your way out of this one.

01:27:16.120 There's no kids.

01:27:18.140 We've been dealing with this Somalia and with this fraud in Minnesota for a long time, and not just with children, with autisms, with education, Medicaid, housing. 1.00

01:27:32.200 It's one welfare thing after another, and they just scam it, and it's a scam, scam, scam.

01:27:38.400 The New York Post reported on December 21st, just a week ago or whatever, they said it looks like it could be as high as you're ready for this, $9 billion with a B.

01:27:52.160 Now, that's half of Minnesota's $18 billion that came from the federal government funding over the last six years.

01:28:01.420 That means that over half of it was stolen in these fraud schemes.

01:28:08.680 And, by the way, the country of Somalia, that's their whole national economy is around $9, $10 billion.

01:28:15.040 But what I really like is the silver lining here, it's exposing this stuff that's been going on all over the country with our welfare programs, and as we all know,

01:28:30.020 and it's popping up now in Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington State.

01:28:35.740 So Nick's – but Nick and him getting in there, right, and they're going door-to-door, basically, and then there's one of them that was shut down, you guys.

01:28:47.680 One of them was shut down for – or no, not shut down.

01:28:51.860 They were warned.

01:28:52.640 They had all these violations, and I guess they were – only then part of their license was taken away.

01:28:58.880 So then they had no kids, but they were paid $7.8 million over that course when they were kind of on probation.

01:29:06.480 And, well, it's easy to not get another violation if you don't have any kids.

01:29:10.100 This is one that actually had kids, but there were so many violations, and they couldn't account for half the kids.

01:29:15.940 But most of them have just no kids.

01:29:18.920 And the one that I got a kind of a – I looked at, I go, you've got to be kidding me.

01:29:24.160 It says Child Learning Center, and they took – they didn't have the N in there.

01:29:28.540 It was Leering Center.

01:29:29.660 They spelt it wrong.

01:29:31.460 I mean, you can't make this stuff up.

01:29:34.280 And Minnesota, our politicians there, you either say was governor – I believe we have the worst governor in history.

01:29:42.260 I think he's so corrupt.

01:29:43.500 I think he's evil.

01:29:45.180 And he – the stuff he's done, I could spend two hours on your show, and we still wouldn't get to the list of what he's done to our state.

01:29:52.400 And blatantly to what, you know, like even back with the virus where they had – he called out the guard or whatever to shoot paintballs people, get them back in their house during the virus.

01:30:05.720 And then he made – if you were in Thanksgiving, if you had more than eight – I believe it was eight people in your house, your neighbor could turn you in, and you get 90 days in jail.

01:30:16.000 Yeah, he had a hotline, didn't he?

01:30:18.340 Yeah, he had a hotline.

01:30:19.660 And at Christmas, we – Christmas, he threw us a bone.

01:30:23.260 We got to have 12 people.

01:30:24.920 Thanks, Jim.

01:30:25.500 And, you know, and this – and him and I went round and round for years that this guy – now, put it this way, everybody.

01:30:33.500 Either he – let's just say he really didn't know.

01:30:38.020 Then you've got to be the most incompetent governor in history.

01:30:43.020 You should be fired immediately.

01:30:44.520 You should step down.

01:30:45.680 But what is he doing?

01:30:47.100 He's doubling down.

01:30:48.200 And he's saying, oh, there's no problem here.

01:30:51.040 Donald Trump's attacking us and coming after this – these nice Somalians that are in Minnesota. 0.68

01:30:58.280 And – but we've got to get rid of our guns.

01:31:00.760 Then he deflects to, we've got to get rid of our guns.

01:31:04.000 We've got to get rid of, you know, trying to ban guns now in Minnesota.

01:31:08.680 But he's something else.

01:31:10.440 And, you know, this is all the Minnesota media, too.

01:31:13.720 You've got to put a lot of blame on that.

01:31:15.400 They're, you know, here with this – what did the next thing have, 100 million hits or something?

01:31:21.340 It's just bizarre.

01:31:23.240 And they can't hide it anymore because our Minnesota media that's ruling the Star and Tribune, they just – they used to report stuff like this.

01:31:32.280 They don't now.

01:31:33.140 It's like they're protecting this corruption that's going on right from our elections with the – you know, the Somalians. 0.94

01:31:39.920 It was a big problem in our election in 2020 in Minnesota.

01:31:42.440 And it all starts there, of course.

01:31:45.120 You know that with me.

01:31:46.540 That's my next question, Mike.

01:31:48.540 Is – by the way, Mike Lindell with us right now.

01:31:50.920 So, you know, my pillow running for governor in Minnesota.

01:31:53.360 How much of this ties into the election issue?

01:31:57.340 Well, it all comes from our election.

01:31:59.460 The stolen elections, which, by the way, we're making great progress there.

01:32:04.040 The president from the top down and my teams from the bottom up, all over our country.

01:32:09.580 Dallas County is going to paper ballots, hand counted for the primary.

01:32:13.460 And that's one of the biggest counties in Texas.

01:32:15.640 But, yeah, it all comes back to the elections.

01:32:18.320 I remember sitting up on the night of the 2020 election – or, no, it was the day before, I think.

01:32:24.600 And I got the president on the phone and I said, you know, there's been reporting in Minnesota here because, you know, we have that early voting of all these Somalians.

01:32:35.000 And they had video – they were caught on videotape and everything else.

01:32:38.880 And, of course, that wasn't – that was a whole different kind of theft, not with the machines, which I really focused on after that, the computers.

01:32:47.420 But, you know, it's all tied into that.

01:32:50.360 And then let's just say – here's another thing, everybody.

01:32:52.500 Let's just say you don't believe that there's anything – oh, our elections are all secure, which we're only – there's 132 countries that banned electronic voting machine, and we're not one of them.

01:33:02.960 But, anyway, let's just say – assume that they're all secure.

01:33:08.520 Well, then what you do then is you bring in what?

01:33:11.720 You bring in 100,000 Somalis.

01:33:13.940 How do you think that Ilan Omar got elected?

01:33:16.920 Everyone says, why would you guys elect Ilan Omar in Minnesota?

01:33:20.880 We didn't elect it.

01:33:21.940 You know, there's 80,000 Somalians in her district, and then plus you couple that with all the cheating that can go on. 1.00

01:33:29.560 And then, remember, we have Keith Ellison, our attorney general.

01:33:33.980 He's part of the Muslim Brotherhood. 1.00

01:33:36.020 And you look at his checker pass.

01:33:38.100 It's horrific.

01:33:39.420 He's come after me for the last year and a half to shut down my foundation and my Lendell Recovery Network

01:33:45.800 because the foundation is a perfect replacement for all these welfare platforms.

01:33:52.340 Even if they are good, it's a replacement I've worked on for eight years going back before these elections.

01:33:58.060 So, when I'm governor, you put them in place, it goes perfect with the private sector.

01:34:03.300 And it's – I believe it will replace these things nationwide because they're – all they do is they just – people come dependent on them if they're even used right.

01:34:14.000 And then, otherwise, it just – it's an open door for the biggest – they're calling it the biggest fraud scandal in American history.

01:34:20.480 And they're just touching the tip of the iceberg.

01:34:24.120 Mike Lindell with MyPillow now running for governor here in Minnesota.

01:34:30.040 And the story is – it is explosive.

01:34:32.960 We're going to hear more.

01:34:33.500 I do believe we're just talking about the tip of the iceberg.

01:34:35.800 And I think we're going to see that this isn't about Somalia.

01:34:39.000 It's probably not even fully about Minnesota.

01:34:41.580 I think what we're seeing is a Democrat playbook, a blueprint of how the fraud and the corruption in the NGOs, as Elon's kind of pointed out with Doge, and how they were able to find some of these things, that this is how they've been doing.

01:34:55.360 Absolutely.

01:34:56.300 So, tell me – I mean, obviously, Mike, we just talked about elections.

01:35:00.680 We talked about this fraud.

01:35:02.440 But I want to talk about the run for governor.

01:35:04.200 You've got some good news in some of this as well.

01:35:06.440 Well, I want to take a quick break, if we can, and come back to you and talk about those things.

01:35:10.440 It's so important for us to stay encouraged, especially as things seem to be – so you look at a story like this, and gosh, how corrupt is it?

01:35:17.440 How bad is it?

01:35:18.320 I mean, how do we ever cut this cancer out?

01:35:20.660 But there is some good news.

01:35:21.640 Let's get to that.

01:35:22.900 We come back.

01:35:24.040 Quick break.

01:35:24.840 60 seconds.

01:35:25.860 Back on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:36:32.080 We've got to get some of this good news in because otherwise you hear the headlines and you think,

01:36:48.560 well, it's hopeless, it's helpless, there's nothing to be done.

01:36:51.000 But at the end of the day, I think that's part of the strategy,

01:36:54.760 make you feel like there is nothing that you can do.

01:36:56.680 That's just not the case.

01:36:57.500 Mike's been in the fight tirelessly over the last several years,

01:37:01.020 been paying the price for it in numbers of ways that you can't even begin to mention

01:37:05.260 and monetize, give you a figure for it.

01:37:08.020 But, Mike, you're starting to see the tide change in a lot of ways.

01:37:11.940 And, in fact, you're seeing that with some of these things that are getting exposed.

01:37:17.020 But also, as you decided to run for governor,

01:37:19.840 you must feel like you really got a shot and the people are ready.

01:37:22.480 Oh, absolutely.

01:37:24.940 And, you guys, let's just tell you the good positive news about our election platforms

01:37:29.460 because that's what I've worked the hardest on for five years.

01:37:32.920 Like I said earlier, there is great progress there.

01:37:36.740 President, if you guys can see through the news,

01:37:40.320 I would suggest you follow my feed in any of the platforms,

01:37:46.460 Scatter, Gab, Truth, X, Facebook, Vocal.

01:37:51.820 And we're always putting out what the president's going to put.

01:37:54.840 He's pouring stuff out of the DOJ.

01:37:57.840 Like, I don't know, you should all be aware that Georgia now has admitted

01:38:00.620 there was 300,000 votes unaccounted for.

01:38:04.520 You know, all the stuff we told you five years ago is all true now.

01:38:08.960 And that just came out a week ago.

01:38:11.420 It's going to be a big evidence dump of the 2020 election.

01:38:14.340 And everyone says, well, why?

01:38:15.720 Who cares?

01:38:16.260 Donald Trump's in power now.

01:38:17.600 Everything is great.

01:38:18.760 No, we need to secure our elections and get rid of the machines

01:38:21.680 and go to paper ballots.

01:38:23.200 Well, we've got great progress.

01:38:24.920 We've got, in Texas alone, like I said, five counties.

01:38:28.500 Dallas County is going to be a perfect prototype to the country.

01:38:32.460 Paper ballots, hand counted, no machines.

01:38:35.040 And then you get in, let's go into Minnesota.

01:38:38.500 Now, I think right now, you know, I waited until the other candidates,

01:38:42.940 they all announced earlier this year.

01:38:44.860 They've been campaigning for months.

01:38:46.240 But in August, you know, I guess my wife and I started,

01:38:51.940 we're praying about, I'm going, you know,

01:38:53.740 I don't think anyone else can get this done right.

01:38:56.660 There's so many things.

01:38:58.740 I know how to fix it, you know, what's wrong.

01:39:02.740 And because I've been there, seen that, done it.

01:39:05.100 And so as far as winning Minnesota, I really think the time is right.

01:39:09.660 Now, I'm going to get a lot of pushback from Republicans going, Mike,

01:39:13.220 this is our perfect time to win.

01:39:14.940 We are traditional candidates and our establishment candidates can win

01:39:18.700 because of all the bad things that Waltz has done.

01:39:21.400 Well, you guys, I'm sorry, but I don't trust that that's going to happen

01:39:25.180 with you guys.

01:39:25.960 I think I'm a little bit of a marketer in the stuff that I was doing for the

01:39:31.300 president that worked in the 2024 election.

01:39:35.400 That's just to get elected.

01:39:37.000 But I think the thing is, being a CEO, you know, I've been through,

01:39:41.140 I've built businesses from scratch.

01:39:42.940 Nobody ever handed me anything from the ground up, many businesses,

01:39:46.900 including the Lindell TV during these last five years of the attacks on MyPillow.

01:39:51.340 But then also to have a company under attack like MyPillow was the most

01:39:56.320 attacked company in history, not only by our own government under Arctic

01:40:01.400 Frost, but by lawfare with these machine companies and my own attorney general,

01:40:06.700 like I said, Keith Ellison, attacking MyPillow, all to shut up my voice.

01:40:11.260 Well, during that time, you had to go to each sector of MyPillow and, hey,

01:40:15.200 let's, you know, move this over here.

01:40:17.000 We have to stop this over here.

01:40:18.260 Imagine a ship getting blown full of holes.

01:40:20.240 But to guide that through, and I had to get to where MyPillow was in a very

01:40:25.140 safe place, secure.

01:40:27.000 I care about my employees, and I wanted to make sure they were safe before I

01:40:32.200 moved on to governor because that's going to be a fight of all fights.

01:40:36.620 And getting in there and getting things changed, getting things gone, you put all

01:40:42.100 these people that did this in prison, you get rid of all the illegals immediately, 1.00

01:40:46.180 you hold the leadership, whether they were in on it or not.

01:40:50.300 If they belong in prison, I don't know.

01:40:51.900 Well, I don't even know if Waltz will be there by that time.

01:40:54.580 But you have programs that you could take anything like education, making the school

01:41:01.300 safer.

01:41:01.860 I have a perfect prototype for that.

01:41:03.440 You have all these welfare programs, though, are what I was working on for 10 years, and

01:41:10.860 this with the private sector involved.

01:41:16.360 And this is, it's not really complex, but it actually works.

01:41:19.900 We tried it in Detroit.

01:41:21.300 I tried it in 100 and some different countries to test it back then before I got involved with

01:41:27.020 all this political stuff.

01:41:29.840 And so I've got great solutions.

01:41:32.440 And I think that, you know, I've been, when I came out of addiction in 2009, I spent millions

01:41:38.880 of dollars downtown Minneapolis where I lived down there with the teen challenges and the

01:41:44.440 homeless and the people in addiction and the people that have mental problems in the streets.

01:41:51.080 And there's a program that Ben Carson had.

01:41:53.300 He's a friend of mine back when he worked with the government in 2016 to 2020.

01:41:58.420 And I have the blueprints to that program.

01:42:01.640 So I really believe I have solutions to all these things and solutions that aren't going

01:42:06.640 to change years.

01:42:07.560 I think people want to see, you know, problem, solution, and here we want results.

01:42:14.500 And this has proven results, and it's going to work.

01:42:18.220 And I think everybody is ready in Minnesota.

01:42:21.020 I mean, this is, this is like perfect marketing for me to, and when we're under a critical,

01:42:26.680 like right now, you can go to MikeLindellGobb.com and help out.

01:42:30.180 Right now, I have to get the, we have a primary in Minnesota and everybody wants the GLP blessing.

01:42:37.540 And, and that's, I think a lot of my pushback will come from that going, Mike Lindell is a

01:42:43.100 conspiracy theorist, isn't he?

01:42:44.860 Or, you know, all he wants is to get rid of the voting machines.

01:42:47.560 And, well, there's a lot more to that than, and that's just the biggest problem we have

01:42:52.340 in this country.

01:42:52.920 But we're solving that.

01:42:54.460 And then now, because everything comes from our elections, and we, if it goes past this

01:43:00.920 next election, it's, I don't think there's, you can ever get Minnesota back.

01:43:05.860 I don't think our country, that we're at a very critical time in history, these midterms,

01:43:12.400 it could be some of the, probably the most important midterm in history.

01:43:16.720 But I think it's even beyond that.

01:43:19.260 I think if once, this isn't a thing of, we're not in a space anymore of, oh, Republican,

01:43:26.360 Democrat, Republican, Democrat.

01:43:28.440 No, this is a new thing where the people have even woke up, even waken the people.

01:43:33.600 And it's a, it's a new party of common sense.

01:43:35.920 And we have to stay with that.

01:43:37.380 It's Mike Lindell from my pillow now wants to be my governor.

01:43:41.780 Uh, and listen, I, I, I love this and Mike, I, you can, you can take that.

01:43:47.320 I don't know if you want to use that or not, but it's yours.

01:43:49.700 I can't wait to see what you do.

01:43:51.640 Minnesota needs you and so does the rest of the country.

01:43:54.960 Well, thank you so much.

01:43:56.360 And you guys, if you can help out, it's MikeLindellGov.com.

01:44:00.120 I'm going to launch in January, something I was doing, going to do for, with the president.

01:44:05.000 Um, uh, it involves some, a marketing strategy.

01:44:08.320 I just talked to him about it again yesterday.

01:44:10.380 And they, uh, um, we didn't have a chance to even use it, but it's going to be so amazing

01:44:14.920 and basically bring awareness to the people, educate the people that people need to be

01:44:19.800 educated on the problems and educated on the solutions in spite of the media trying to

01:44:25.080 block everything for the Democrats and, uh, the Uniparty.

01:44:28.420 Mike Lindell, we'll get it up.

01:44:30.260 And of course, uh, Mike, love to talk to you again when you get a little closer.

01:44:33.140 MikeLindellGov.com.

01:44:35.480 Back after this, Justin Barkley in for back today.

01:44:37.960 This is Glenn Beck.

01:44:41.820 Relief Factor loves hearing from pain-free customers and hopes that you will be their

01:44:46.800 next person.

01:44:47.740 Bill wrote in and said, I have been crawling under sinks and working long hours for decades.

01:44:52.380 My back and my knees took the punishment and I thought my pain was just part of the

01:44:56.340 trade, but Relief Factor surprised me.

01:44:59.080 Within weeks, I was working without wincing.

01:45:01.360 I could get down on the floor and get back up again without thinking twice.

01:45:06.440 He knows pipes, tools, long days on the job.

01:45:09.360 What he didn't know is how good life feels when pain stops tagging along.

01:45:13.900 It's Relief Factor.

01:45:15.280 Relief Factor didn't change Bill's trade.

01:45:17.840 It changed his tomorrow.

01:46:20.760 Barkley in for Beck today on the Glenn Beck program and got some good news.

01:46:26.360 Yes, in fact, I want to get to, before we wrap things, put the bow on it all today.

01:46:33.980 Like I said, there's a couple of things that are just still floating out there.

01:46:38.160 I want to make sure that I touch on.

01:46:40.640 We did a lot on the Somali fraud today. 1.00

01:46:42.680 I'm sure more will be coming out of the days ahead on that.

01:46:45.120 We'll make sure that you hear about it.

01:46:47.840 I'm in for Glenn tomorrow and Wednesday.

01:46:51.000 And we have a couple of good guests and great shows planned.

01:46:55.380 So we'd love to have you back here for this.

01:46:58.140 Always a pleasure filling in for Glenn.

01:47:07.180 Justin at JustinBarclay.com.

01:47:09.040 Got a couple of good ones.

01:47:10.060 I had to try and make sure that I get back to you.

01:47:12.360 I will get back to everyone emailing in.

01:47:14.360 Thank you, Bernie, so much.

01:47:15.400 Ryan, John, Gary, Levi, for folks that have reached out today as well, and a few others on the email.

01:47:23.000 And at Mr. Justin Barclay over on Facebook, Twitter, X, Rump, let's see.

01:47:28.940 Basically all the places you can find me at JustinBarclay.com.

01:47:33.480 In fact, I'll be posting stuff we talked about and what I call the stack a little later on today.

01:47:37.020 But first, let's do this.

01:47:39.880 Because, as you know, the politicians are so fake and phony.

01:47:44.240 Every time something like this presents itself.

01:47:47.920 Can't help but chuckle.

01:47:48.960 You can't help but laugh.

01:47:49.900 Because, again, it does expose them.

01:47:51.820 Here is Governor Gavin Newsom.

01:47:56.340 Grusom Newsom.

01:47:57.620 Talking about how he and his wife have joyfully celebrated Kwanzaa.

01:48:05.860 You know, because we're still kind of in that Christmas mode right now.

01:48:09.240 I talked about, I talked about, I like Christmas.

01:48:12.920 I don't like how it just sort of abruptly ends after Christmas Day.

01:48:17.740 And I think I'm going to stick with the 12 days of Christmas.

01:48:20.920 And, in fact, I think that would end on January 6th.

01:48:23.820 The Feast of Epiphany is what they call it.

01:48:27.180 Now, I'm not Catholic, but I like that stretching it out. 0.65

01:48:30.940 I like that celebration.

01:48:32.960 Like making it last a little bit longer.

01:48:36.020 So I'm doing that this year.

01:48:37.000 I'm going to continue to say Merry Christmas.

01:48:40.140 Probably not going to catch me saying Happy Kwanzaa or whatever they say.

01:48:43.900 Happy New Year, I can say.

01:48:45.940 Happy Hanukkah, I can say.

01:48:47.220 I'm fine with all those.

01:48:49.120 Kwanzaa is just not real.

01:48:52.280 It's been made up.

01:48:53.500 And that's why it's so funny to see some of these folks get called out about it.

01:48:59.340 In fact, here's Governor Gavin Newsom getting called out by some folks commenting.

01:49:05.480 All those who celebrate.

01:49:06.740 Happy Kwanzaa.

01:49:07.700 This holiday was created to honor the rich history of the African-American community

01:49:11.660 and to invite all communities to come together, reflect on our past, its struggles, and triumphs,

01:49:17.540 and look ahead to our shared future.

01:49:19.340 Yeah, she says it.

01:49:20.800 This holiday was created.

01:49:25.320 It's not like a legitimate holiday.

01:49:27.700 The seven principles of Kwanzaa offer guidance as to how we can make the future bright,

01:49:32.180 reminding us to keep faith in ourselves and in each other.

01:49:35.520 So as families across the country gather to light the Canara, we wish you all a joy.

01:49:40.020 Sorry, the light the what?

01:49:42.020 A joyful Kwanzaa.

01:49:43.140 I don't, I don't, I don't even think they know what they're talking about.

01:49:49.600 I, I really don't know.

01:49:51.060 And who knows what they're lighting, Gavin and his wife.

01:49:53.300 I have no idea.

01:49:55.000 Is that legal in California anyway?

01:49:56.900 I think might be.

01:49:58.300 But the best thing is to watch how people respond.

01:50:04.920 It's one thing to hear them and to see what they, but it's, it's a whole nother thing.

01:50:10.200 The kids call this the ratio.

01:50:14.600 Representative Sarah McBride, who goes by Congresswoman Sarah McBride over on X.

01:50:22.560 You know the, the true story is that's a man, man.

01:50:27.100 That's, that's not, anyway, I won't, I won't belabor that.

01:50:32.600 I just tell you so you understand you can get the context of what these comments are going to be.

01:50:36.820 I'm wishing all in Delaware, here's the post.

01:50:46.060 I'm wishing all in Delaware who are celebrating the day a blessed, a blessed Kwanzaa centered on culture, family, and community.

01:50:55.280 May this time be one of reflection, unity, and a hope.

01:51:00.840 Oh my, you, you, you see this stuff and it just, it, it blows you away.

01:51:07.420 Some of the responses, a hundred proof over on X says, bruh, Coco's dad, fake holiday.

01:51:16.800 JWF.

01:51:17.360 Kwanzaa is a real holiday, like you're a real female, bro. 1.00

01:51:26.920 And then my favorite from Kyle Beckley, who says, couldn't you just call both of the people in Delaware who celebrate it?

01:51:37.820 It's dead.

01:51:38.580 Yeah, couldn't you just call both of the people there celebrating Kwanzaa instead of, instead of posting about it?

01:51:49.480 You can't make us, that's what they call, the kids call the ratio, which is the response.

01:51:56.860 That's where the kind of the, the truth, logic, and comments, since you have no, you really have, you just have the, no way to avoid it.

01:52:06.800 It must, you must be confronted by it, and that's, by speaking of which, I, I, the truth about this holiday is kind of funny, because again, I, I tried to remember, I don't remember this, anything about this as a kid.

01:52:19.980 I don't remember anybody talking about it, but you definitely see, like, the corporate types, you see the, like, the politicians talking about it.

01:52:29.220 It's just not, it's, none of it was real.

01:52:31.240 It's all sort of a made up, created thing.

01:52:36.800 It's been wrapped in this sort of package of, this glow of unity and African heritage, but the roots are really more tangled in deception, violence, and a man whose past reeks of hypocrisy more than anything else.

01:52:51.960 Kwanzaa is a seven-day, made up celebration from December, to 26th, to January 1st.

01:53:01.340 You're trying to, try to, you're all discombobulated at that time anyway.

01:53:04.740 They're trying to sort of pull you in every which direction.

01:53:07.160 They tout it as a beacon of black empowerment, but let's expose what it really is.

01:53:12.760 It wasn't born from ancient African traditions, handed down through generations.

01:53:19.560 No.

01:53:20.680 No, it goes all the way back to 1966.

01:53:25.640 A man named Malana Karinga, or Ron Everett.

01:53:32.060 This is his real name.

01:53:33.900 That's who he was born, Ron, Ronald, there in Parsonburg, Maryland, back in 1941.

01:53:38.220 Fresh off the Watts riots, co-founded the Black Nationalist Group, U.S. Organization, in 1965, and the very next year, he cooked up Kwanzaa, so-called Pan-African holiday modeled loosely on African first fruits harvest festivals.

01:53:57.920 Now, those are real, but Kwanzaa is not.

01:54:00.800 He claimed it was to give African Americans an alternative to Christmas.

01:54:04.960 So, it's really anti-Christian, but most Marxists are in a lot of ways.

01:54:13.420 Now, you're starting to see the reality of what we're really up against here, what you're actually facing.

01:54:19.260 Kwanzaa promotes seven principles we just talked about, or knew someone, his wife did.

01:54:24.100 Unity, self-determination, collect, all of that sounds great, right?

01:54:28.900 Noble.

01:54:29.340 But when you dig deeper, you find this master teacher.

01:54:39.240 Mulana.

01:54:40.720 It means in Swahili Arabic.

01:54:43.540 The master teacher, that's his name.

01:54:45.520 Mulana.

01:54:46.380 What he renamed himself.

01:54:47.560 He was no saint.

01:54:49.620 Dig into the roots of who this guy actually was, and the irony drips thick here.

01:54:53.220 Karenga preached empowerment, but in 1971, he was convicted of felony assault, torture, and false imprisonment.

01:55:02.180 Crimes had landed him a one to ten year sentence in a California prison.

01:55:06.420 Who were the victims?

01:55:07.440 Two black women from his own organization.

01:55:11.160 Deborah Jones, also known as Gail Davis, and another subjected to unimaginable brutality. 0.95

01:55:16.500 Because this man, paranoically believed they were plotting to poison him.

01:55:24.480 Fueled, some say, by police pressure and his own drug use.

01:55:29.740 Now picture this whore. 1.00

01:55:30.800 These women were stripped naked, whipped with electrical cords, beaten with karate batons, 1.00

01:55:37.860 burned with a hot soldering iron, pressed into one's mouth and against her face,

01:55:42.840 and had a toe crushed in a vice.

01:55:45.080 Force-fed detergent.

01:55:47.900 While horses, or excuse me, the hoses ran water down their throats, according to the reports I'm reading.

01:55:53.180 Bashed over the head with toasters.

01:55:57.460 The man who created this holiday, his associates, did it all in Englewood, in his home in California.

01:56:05.800 All while he denied involvement and cried political persecution.

01:56:09.100 Well, he served about four years before parole in 1975, emerging to later earn doctorates and teach African studies.

01:56:16.380 Again, where do you go when you fail in all these other places?

01:56:20.680 Like, that's academia.

01:56:23.200 As if a prison stint could wash away any of that blood.

01:56:26.980 Yet, Kwanzaa endures, celebrated by millions who might not know or maybe choose to ignore the dark underbelly.

01:56:35.800 And this man, all the while mutilating black women, police, I guess, accused him of being a police informant.

01:56:47.960 He's never fully atoned.

01:56:52.560 And the holiday, it's fabricated.

01:56:54.640 It's phony.

01:56:58.420 As much as Sarah McBride is.

01:57:03.820 According to the poster.

01:57:06.220 It's not an ancient right.

01:57:09.140 It's made up, peddled as cultural revival.

01:57:11.900 And his creator's hands are stained with the very violence he claimed to fight against.

01:57:16.880 So, next time you light the Kanara, I guess that's the candle that Newsom was talking about.

01:57:24.060 Just remember.

01:57:25.360 And remember who Newsom is honoring in this whole thing.

01:57:29.740 The roots of Kwanzaa aren't in Africa's soil.

01:57:33.000 They're buried in the shadows of a convict's twisted vision.

01:57:37.700 The truth sets you free, folks.

01:57:40.480 But only if you dare take a look.

01:57:43.640 More truth, logic, and common sense.

01:57:47.580 Up next.

01:57:48.780 Barkley in for Beck today on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:57:51.760 A wise man once said,

01:57:54.360 Trust in God and always keep watch on the gate.

01:57:58.620 I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me.

01:58:02.960 This is Glenn Beck.

01:58:04.560 The older I get, the more I think about trust.

01:58:22.700 I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust.

01:58:26.900 And the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.

01:58:31.600 I know we're alike in that way.

01:58:32.920 We don't trust a lot of people anymore.

01:58:34.920 It's like we're all Ronald Reagan.

01:58:36.500 Trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.

01:58:40.060 I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly.

01:58:42.360 And that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:58:45.440 I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.

01:58:48.340 So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you

01:58:51.220 to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with

01:58:55.040 that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful

01:58:59.240 and good real estate transaction possible.

01:59:02.840 Our network agents share our sensibilities, have great track records,

01:59:06.420 are good and decent people, and I trust them to help you with your real estate needs.

01:59:11.480 So whether you're moving across town or across the country,

01:59:14.000 visit realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:59:16.500 The name says it all.

01:59:17.380 realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:59:29.940 All right, I don't know if this is real, and I'd have to preface it by saying that,

01:59:33.520 but there's this guy on TikTok who did a video, conservative immigrant.

01:59:39.000 Apparently, he called one of those fake Somali daycare centers

01:59:43.220 that was exposed by Nick Shirley and the folks, and it turns out the number...

01:59:50.740 So, guys, this is absolutely mind-blowing.

01:59:52.880 Goes someplace familiar.

01:59:54.420 Watching the most recent video by Nick Shirley exposing these daycare centers.

01:59:58.420 Now, they're going daycare to daycare, and the next one that they go to

02:00:01.500 is called Sweet Angel Child Care.

02:00:05.140 This is where they show up to, and this is the business right here.

02:00:07.520 Now, he's pulled it up on Google.

02:00:10.760 This looks like a Google Maps, and he's calling the number.

02:00:14.160 This is what you hear when he calls.

02:00:16.240 State's Capitol at 75, Reverend.

02:00:19.040 Oh.

02:00:19.960 My.

02:00:20.840 God.

02:00:21.320 Thank you for calling Tim Wall's office.

02:00:25.340 Just wait for it.

02:00:26.280 Thank you for contacting the office of Governor Tim Wall.

02:00:31.360 Again.

02:00:32.480 I don't know.

02:00:33.620 Yeah, I don't know if it's real or not,

02:00:35.440 but nothing would surprise me these days if that's the case.

02:00:45.120 You just...

02:00:46.400 You cannot.

02:00:47.500 You cannot make this stuff up.

02:00:50.080 All right.

02:00:50.400 Now, I told you I got good news.

02:00:52.100 I only got a little bit of time to share it with you tonight,

02:00:56.040 but this happened at a New York Islanders game the other day.

02:00:59.380 A 104-year-old World War II veteran, Dominic Critelli,

02:01:04.100 performing the national anthem.

02:01:06.500 Staff Sergeant Dominic Critelli.

02:01:11.360 You can hear the crowd go wild for him.

02:01:15.140 He's got, I think, some sort of reed, woodwind instrument.

02:01:18.600 And here he goes.

02:01:22.040 We'll give you as much of this as we can as a crowd.

02:01:24.360 Just love it.
