The Glenn Beck Program - What ACTUALLY Led to the Alex Pretti ICE Shooting

00:00:00.000 One of the things that I've always loved most about this country is freedom, you know, the ability to think for yourself, to do your own research and make informed decisions about your own life and then take responsibility for that life.

00:00:11.820 One of the most overlooked forms of that is medical freedom, the freedom to ask questions, the freedom to learn, the freedom to decide what makes sense for you and your body instead of being told that you don't get a say.

00:00:23.920 That's why I respect what Jace Medical is doing.

00:00:26.560 Their doctors understand the importance of medical self-reliance.

00:00:30.340 And when it comes to ivermectin, which has been in the news constantly for both its potential uses and how politicized it became, they actually make serious, responsible approaches to it.

00:00:39.440 And they provide six different types of ivermectin, including topicals, compounded options, ivermectin by itself, because different situations require different tools.

00:00:49.060 And you can get it prescribed and delivered to you all from home without jumping through endless hoops or giving up control.

00:01:49.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:52.780 Glenn Beck is on.

00:01:56.020 Hello, America.

00:01:57.100 It's Monday.

00:01:58.400 I've got a lot to talk to you about today.

00:02:00.360 I'm going to talk to you first about accelerization.

00:02:02.520 It is something that is happening that is the part of the chalkboard I laid out in 2009, where I said, you know, the socialists and the communists and the, you know, Islamists and the anarchists will all work together to destabilize, to overthrow the Middle East, Europe and the Western world here in America.

00:02:24.760 We are now in the last phase of that.

00:02:29.080 We're all seeing that they are working together.

00:02:31.260 And thank God there are many people like Data Republican and our own administration that are looking for all of the connections and are tying things together so you understand what is really happening.

00:02:44.940 But we're in the final phase of this, and if we don't behave, if we don't get our side right, it could spell real, real trouble in America.

00:02:57.100 I don't know how you go back from here if we make critical errors at this point.

00:03:02.520 So far, so good, but we have to be very, very careful.

00:03:07.640 Also, gold hit, not $5,000 an ounce, $5,100 an ounce on Friday.

00:03:16.080 $5,100.

00:03:19.260 That's not good.

00:03:20.480 I've been saying forever.

00:03:22.320 You don't want to see the world and how much chaos it is going to be in at $5,000 an ounce.

00:03:27.540 Well, we're here and look at the chaos.

00:03:29.680 They're now saying that it is going to go up to $7,000 an ounce.

00:03:33.720 I want to explain why this is happening because it is about what people believe.

00:03:41.620 But I also believe if you watched our special on capital controls on the torch at glenbeck.com, which it's free this week, if you watch that, this is the beginning of capital controls.

00:03:52.780 This is the first sign that smart money, big money, like people my grandparents used to talk about.

00:04:00.600 You know, if we just knew what the rich people knew back in the Depression, maybe we wouldn't have been so badly off.

00:04:08.820 This is the first sign.

00:04:10.220 They know something you don't know.

00:04:11.640 So let me tell you what they know coming up.

00:04:14.660 But we're going to start in Minnesota in 60 seconds.

00:04:17.040 First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:04:18.440 I want to tell you about Brian.

00:04:20.080 He lives in Alabama.

00:04:21.080 He says, after taking Relief Factor for just three weeks, 90% of my pain is gone.

00:04:27.060 My pain started to limit me at work and then at home.

00:04:30.560 And I am amazed at what it has done and the relief that I've gotten.

00:04:34.720 I can tell you that Brian's story is similar to my own and so many other people that write in and talk to us about it.

00:04:40.840 The amazement part really is everything we all have in common.

00:04:44.200 I can't believe this actually worked.

00:04:45.620 When I first tried Relief Factor, I didn't expect it to do anything at all.

00:04:49.600 But you can bet I was incredibly surprised when it not only helped, but basically helped me get my life back.

00:04:55.840 And it can help you too.

00:04:56.820 It's created by doctors.

00:04:57.920 Relief Factor is a 100% drug-free product using four key ingredients that support the body's natural inflammatory response.

00:05:04.500 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor like Brian and me.

00:05:07.800 And two-thirds of them, you know, go on to order more month after month because I'm not dealing with the kind of pain I was dealing with before.

00:05:14.040 Relief Factor.

00:05:15.320 See if Relief Factor can help get you out of pain.

00:05:17.320 Call 800-4-RELIEF.

00:05:18.900 800-4-RELIEF.

00:05:20.760 Relief Factor.

00:05:21.960 How will it feel to be out of pain?

00:05:25.980 So Tim Wall said over the weekend, what's your plan, Donald Trump?

00:05:29.820 What's your plan?

00:05:30.660 Well, the plan is to go get the bad guys and then leave your state.

00:05:38.900 But that doesn't seem to be working because you have a different plan.

00:05:42.560 He said, what do we need to get these federal agents out of our state?

00:05:45.760 Let them do their job.

00:05:47.260 Just let them do their job.

00:05:48.440 He said, if fear, violence, and chaos is what you wanted from us.

00:05:53.920 No, that's not what he wanted from you.

00:05:55.480 No, that's what you're giving.

00:05:57.040 But that's not what he wanted.

00:05:58.680 Then you clearly underestimated the people and this state and nation.

00:06:02.100 We're tired, but we're resolved.

00:06:03.600 We're peaceful, but we'll never forget.

00:06:06.120 We're angry, but we won't give up on hope.

00:06:08.840 And above all, we're clearly unified.

00:06:11.840 I wonder about that one.

00:06:13.440 I wonder about that one.

00:06:14.440 I mean, I think people who are not thinking are unified, but this is a time for all Americans.

00:06:20.840 These are the times that try men's souls.

00:06:23.820 He said, we believe in law and order in this state.

00:06:27.380 Hmm.

00:06:28.360 You know what?

00:06:29.140 That one, that one, that kind of stuck to me.

00:06:31.800 You know, Minnesota believes in law and order.

00:06:35.060 I want to believe that.

00:06:36.580 I really do.

00:06:38.480 Because Americans want to believe that about themselves.

00:06:40.880 I want to believe I believe in law and order.

00:06:42.900 But it's hard sometimes.

00:06:45.380 But belief is not proven by slogans or words from some leader.

00:06:50.860 It's proven by what you tolerate and what you punish.

00:06:55.920 Law and order is not a yard sign that you put up.

00:06:58.360 It's not a press release.

00:07:00.380 Okay.

00:07:00.660 After something's burned down, you don't say, we don't believe in burning cities down.

00:07:04.380 Unless you've arrested those people.

00:07:06.840 Law and order is discipline.

00:07:09.080 It's quiet.

00:07:10.080 Honestly, it should be very boring.

00:07:12.060 It's relentless.

00:07:13.200 And yeah, sometimes it's really unpopular.

00:07:16.240 So, Governor Walz, can I just talk about the record here for a second?

00:07:19.240 Because that one really stuck out.

00:07:22.280 Minnesotans believe in law and order.

00:07:25.200 You just live through what prosecutors and investigators themselves have called the largest fraud scheme in American history.

00:07:33.420 Hundreds of millions siphoned through daycare programs meant for the poor.

00:07:38.680 Children used as cover.

00:07:40.720 Taxpayers robbed blind.

00:07:42.760 Seven hundred million dollars just going through the airport to Somalia.

00:07:47.240 Can I ask you, if you believe in law and order, how many people at the state level, how many people has your attorney general prosecuted and arrested?

00:07:56.080 How many?

00:07:58.500 How many?

00:08:00.700 Because that doesn't seem like law and order.

00:08:02.920 It seems like you are trying to not let people investigate that.

00:08:08.120 Okay.

00:08:08.360 The way you're behaving is not law and order.

00:08:10.520 It's permission.

00:08:11.280 Now, let's rewind a few years ago.

00:08:14.700 Police precincts overrun.

00:08:16.640 Entire neighborhoods burned.

00:08:18.920 Small businesses erased in a single night.

00:08:21.900 And what did you and the leadership say, in effect?

00:08:26.580 Stand down.

00:08:28.200 De-escalate.

00:08:29.540 Understand the anger.

00:08:31.040 And release those, anybody who was, you know, caught.

00:08:33.900 We have to become really, really clear on a few things.

00:08:42.320 Anger is not a defense in a republic.

00:08:45.580 Arson is not speech.

00:08:48.700 A society that believes in law and order doesn't hesitate to defend the innocent because it's afraid of the headlines.

00:08:55.000 Now, fast forward today.

00:08:58.580 Activists coordinating.

00:09:00.340 Wait till you see the news.

00:09:02.020 We'll show you in just a few minutes.

00:09:03.520 Actually coordinating to mark and track down federal agents.

00:09:08.900 Shadow networks warning of enforcement actions.

00:09:12.280 Open calls to stop the federal government by force if necessary.

00:09:18.220 In fact, let me just play that here real quick.

00:09:20.940 Let me see if I can find it.

00:09:22.640 Uh, let's just play, um, here.

00:09:25.700 Here's an Antifa recruiter.

00:09:27.340 Cut two, please.

00:09:29.120 My name is Kyle.

00:09:30.280 I'm Antifa.

00:09:31.160 And there's so much rage in me that I've had to record this like 15 times trying to get the message out.

00:09:36.280 They f***ed up.

00:09:37.600 Okay?

00:09:38.100 Go watch my other videos.

00:09:39.080 Doesn't matter if you're not here and you're not caught up.

00:09:40.940 You've missed the f***ing fight.

00:09:42.060 But if you are, it's time to suit up.

00:09:44.580 Boots on the ground.

00:09:45.780 Show up.

00:09:47.540 Ready to go.

00:09:48.760 Okay?

00:09:49.120 Not talking about peaceful protests anymore.

00:09:51.800 We're not talking about having polite conversations anymore.

00:09:55.560 I am talking specifically to my f***ing followers.

00:09:58.620 This is everything I have f***ing talked about.

00:10:00.780 And this is exactly what I said was going to happen.

00:10:03.120 This is not a f***ing joke.

00:10:05.500 There's nothing fun to chant about it.

00:10:08.260 Get your f***ing guns and stop these f***ing people.

00:10:12.680 Is that law and order?

00:10:18.940 Notice what he started with.

00:10:20.320 I am so enraged.

00:10:21.860 When you're enraged, you're not making good decisions.

00:10:25.040 You're not.

00:10:25.460 You're just not.

00:10:26.100 I know because those are the things I usually have to go back and apologize for.

00:10:30.660 Those are the things when I get really, really pissed off.

00:10:32.960 Those are the things that my wife usually says to me.

00:10:35.000 I wouldn't say that right now.

00:10:36.060 I wouldn't do that right now.

00:10:37.200 You should pause.

00:10:39.580 And I don't do it.

00:10:40.440 And I get in trouble.

00:10:41.760 Every single time.

00:10:42.960 You don't make good decisions when you're enraged.

00:10:47.100 Okay.

00:10:48.140 Now again, the message from the top is, is not the law will be enforced.

00:10:54.140 It's this.

00:10:55.900 It's the problem is the enforcement.

00:10:59.580 Well, that's an inversion of everything we know.

00:11:02.100 Because law and order is not about whether you like the law.

00:11:05.840 It's about whether a law, whether or not the law applies, even when you don't like it.

00:11:12.320 So here's the hard truth.

00:11:14.200 Minnesota does not have a law and order problem because the people hate order.

00:11:19.920 Minnesota has a law and order problem because its leadership has taught a generation that law is optional if your cause feels righteous enough.

00:11:30.340 And that's why it's becoming deadly.

00:11:32.960 And history is very clear on this point.

00:11:35.160 We're not the first ones to go through this.

00:11:37.440 Can somebody, for the love of Pete, I shouldn't say these things when I get angry.

00:11:42.300 Can somebody please read a history book?

00:11:44.980 Just pick one up.

00:11:45.940 Any place.

00:11:46.900 Any place.

00:11:47.600 When violence is excused as contextual, when enforcement is treated as provocation, when prosecutors calculate politics before justice, the center doesn't hold.

00:12:04.020 Okay?

00:12:04.440 It just doesn't.

00:12:05.340 You don't get peace.

00:12:06.220 You get what we have in Minnesota.

00:12:07.740 You get escalation.

00:12:08.800 Because once a group learns that pressure works, that intimidation stalls the state, another group is going to learn it too.

00:12:17.760 And then another and another.

00:12:19.280 You know, what do you want, Minnesota, what do you want the federal government to do?

00:12:23.720 What do you want them to do?

00:12:24.620 We want them to leave.

00:12:25.740 You think they're going to leave?

00:12:27.140 Do you think they're going to leave?

00:12:28.200 Let's just talk about this rationally.

00:12:30.180 Do you think they're going to leave if you are having uprisings in the street?

00:12:37.420 No, they can't leave.

00:12:38.920 Why?

00:12:39.860 Well, does anybody remember 1982 Beirut?

00:12:44.160 There were two terrorist bombings.

00:12:47.100 Reagan's like, no, we got to pull out.

00:12:49.120 Everybody else was like, no, don't pull out.

00:12:50.780 He lasted a couple of years, but eventually pulled the Marines out because they were killing.

00:12:54.840 They were just kept hitting us with terror.

00:12:56.220 So he's like, you know what, we just don't need to be there anymore.

00:12:59.320 Pulls them out.

00:13:00.360 Who does that teach a very important lesson?

00:13:03.120 Osama bin Laden.

00:13:04.720 Osama bin Laden saw that and went, oh, we can push around the federal government.

00:13:10.400 So he's not going to leave.

00:13:12.520 And you know he's not going to leave.

00:13:15.100 So what's your plan?

00:13:16.560 What is your plan?

00:13:18.160 Your plan is more chaos.

00:13:20.960 Well, this is how republics rot.

00:13:23.300 And they really rot when people shrug.

00:13:27.480 Okay.

00:13:27.900 It's not a coup.

00:13:28.780 It's a shrug.

00:13:29.480 Most people are like, I don't know.

00:13:30.680 I didn't pay attention.

00:13:32.580 Let me be absolutely clear here.

00:13:36.060 You have a right to protest.

00:13:38.320 And I will stand up even if I despise the things you say.

00:13:42.300 Even if you are picketing ICE and you are shouting slogans at ICE and you're demanding that the government respond to X, Y, and Z, all of those things are your right.

00:13:57.720 And I'm 100% behind you.

00:14:00.220 100%.

00:14:00.820 May not agree with you.

00:14:02.340 In fact, may really disagree with you.

00:14:04.440 This is not about crushing dissent.

00:14:07.680 It's not about silencing protest.

00:14:10.340 This is not about blind loyalty to authority.

00:14:13.660 Wait until you hear me talk about the shooting today.

00:14:16.460 But this is something far more fragile.

00:14:19.160 This is talking about legitimacy.

00:14:22.340 Because law only works when people believe that it's real.

00:14:27.380 When it's real for the powerful, real for the connected, real for the activist, real for the bureaucrat, real for the federal agent, real for the protester, and real for the governor.

00:14:40.320 One standard.

00:14:43.440 The moment Americans believe that justice depends on ideology, the argument's already lost.

00:14:49.620 The street takes over.

00:14:51.480 So what does that tell you, America?

00:14:54.580 What does that tell you, Pam Bondi?

00:14:57.380 I'm not against Pam Bondi.

00:15:00.820 I'm not against any of it.

00:15:03.740 I'm for law and order because I understand how valuable it is.

00:15:09.040 If you don't prosecute both Republicans and Democrats, and hell, I'll just throw them in, independents, if you don't process and prosecute everybody with the same laws, nobody's going to believe in anything.

00:15:24.300 And then you have nothing left.

00:15:25.900 The center doesn't hold.

00:15:27.380 So, no, Minnesota, you don't get away with saying that you believe in law and order.

00:15:31.960 While fraud is largely unpunished and you're not doing anything about, riots are rebranded as peaceful moment, and enforcement is treated like the real crime.

00:15:43.220 Belief without action is theater.

00:15:46.660 Law and order is not proven by words or words that are spoken after chaos.

00:15:51.880 It's proven by what you do before chaos and what you refuse to excuse after the chaos.

00:15:58.620 The good news is we haven't crossed the Rubicon yet, but we're close, you know, only if leaders remember somehow what we used to know instinctively will we survive.

00:16:11.920 A republic survives not because everybody agrees, but because the law applies even when we don't agree.

00:16:18.000 That's not authoritarianism.

00:16:20.000 That's not authoritarianism.

00:16:20.500 That's called civilization.

00:16:23.000 And if we forget that, Minnesota will not be the exception.

00:16:27.620 It will be the warning.

00:16:29.680 And hear me, we're not talking about the republic.

00:16:34.660 We are talking about civilization.

00:16:39.360 Now, I'm going to show you next.

00:16:41.480 We've taken another step to cross the Rubicon.

00:16:45.320 We're not there yet, but we are close to that bridge.

00:16:48.840 And let me explain that coming up in just a second.

00:16:51.760 First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

00:16:53.700 Real estate is a skill most people, you know, they don't get to practice very often, which makes it one of the easiest places to get taken advantage of.

00:17:01.180 The decisions are huge.

00:17:02.320 The timing matters.

00:17:03.360 The bad advice can cost you a big time.

00:17:05.820 And that's why real estate agents I trust exist.

00:17:08.680 This is a network of experienced, vetted agents who know their local markets.

00:17:13.160 They understand that buying or selling a home is a major life event.

00:17:16.420 This is my company.

00:17:18.040 And we started it, oh my gosh, 10, 12 years ago.

00:17:21.820 And when we started it, my brother believed in this.

00:17:24.400 He's like, Glenn, there's got to be a better way to find a real estate agent.

00:17:26.940 Because we were just guessing.

00:17:27.860 We didn't know how to find them.

00:17:28.940 Started working with the 500 best real estate agents across the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.

00:17:35.800 And we learned from them.

00:17:37.340 We quizzed them.

00:17:38.560 We questioned them.

00:17:39.300 We really learned.

00:17:40.160 What does it take?

00:17:41.880 When you have the right agent in your corner, the process feels completely different.

00:18:06.600 10 seconds.

00:18:07.200 Station ID.

00:18:07.620 Okay, so Minnesota believes in law and order.

00:18:31.420 But do they?

00:18:32.960 Do they?

00:18:33.680 Just play the Antifa guy.

00:18:36.180 He's wearing a bulletproof vest.

00:18:37.980 He's saying those things.

00:18:39.860 Then you have, let's play this.

00:18:41.980 This is cut three.

00:18:42.740 This is an independent journalist.

00:18:45.140 She posted a video on X showing anti-ice protesters following her truck for over an hour.

00:18:52.260 Listen to this.

00:18:53.580 Would they turn with us?

00:18:56.760 Here they come.

00:18:57.640 We aren't ice.

00:19:08.100 We are not ice.

00:19:09.420 We're not ice.

00:19:11.340 We're not ice.

00:19:12.080 So these are people following her.

00:19:13.800 I'm showing my face.

00:19:14.660 I'm not ice.

00:19:14.920 We're not ice.

00:19:16.880 They've been following us for over an hour.

00:19:19.580 We're not ice.

00:19:20.600 We're just letting them know and they.

00:19:26.440 Not ice.

00:19:27.120 Not in an ice vehicle, right?

00:19:28.700 No.

00:19:28.920 Right.

00:19:29.300 Right.

00:19:29.700 Get in your truck and get the f*** out.

00:19:31.120 Why?

00:19:31.780 Because you need to go.

00:19:32.960 Confirmed ice.

00:19:33.680 Get the f*** out.

00:19:34.520 Confirmed ice through who?

00:19:35.840 We're American citizens.

00:19:37.080 We're not ice.

00:19:38.460 Look at these people.

00:19:39.320 So they're all surrounding these people.

00:19:41.680 Because they've been following us for over an hour.

00:19:44.780 We didn't even know they were following us until I came up and said, you've been following

00:19:48.020 you.

00:19:48.120 What are you going to do?

00:19:48.820 Where do you live?

00:19:50.120 Where are you from?

00:19:51.120 I'm from the water.

00:19:52.160 There's some protests.

00:19:53.460 I don't need to play any more of this.

00:19:58.240 Listen, this is a woman who has gotten her name on a database.

00:20:03.200 Somebody's gotten her truck.

00:20:04.340 They said that it was ice.

00:20:05.740 They're not ice.

00:20:06.660 They're not ice.

00:20:08.620 And they were followed for an hour.

00:20:10.380 And when they stopped, did you see the number of people that were there just to pull out?

00:20:14.540 And surround their truck?

00:20:16.560 Do you think that's law and order?

00:20:20.220 Is that law and order?

00:20:21.320 Or is that vigilante justice?

00:20:24.560 This is the stuff we used to watch.

00:20:26.580 When I was a kid, we'd watch Gunsmoke.

00:20:28.880 And we'd see these vigilantes come to town.

00:20:32.640 And they were going to right some wrong.

00:20:34.880 And law and order had to correct that.

00:20:38.040 You don't want people who are vigilantes.

00:20:40.640 I would be saying this, and I've warned about the Bubba effect for a long time.

00:20:47.020 You don't want this as a Bubba effect.

00:20:49.740 You certainly don't want this from any side where everybody is just coming together, and they've got their own rules and their own information.

00:20:59.860 You can't trust any of this information.

00:21:03.720 And they're surrounding you.

00:21:05.220 This is not the only one that has had this happen to them.

00:21:09.200 People are having these people show up at their homes.

00:21:11.820 Do we have the video yet of the hotel that was closed down?

00:21:15.280 Somebody reported that ice was staying at this hotel in downtown Minnesota.

00:21:19.440 They trashed the place.

00:21:21.360 They went and trashed the place.

00:21:22.860 There were no ice there.

00:21:24.480 None.

00:21:25.220 None.

00:21:25.560 Where were the police?

00:21:27.880 Where were the police?

00:21:32.000 You can trash a hotel, and nobody's being held accountable for it.

00:21:37.380 Why not?

00:21:39.260 Because the state has decided, not the people, the state has decided, we are not for law and order.

00:21:48.060 We are actually for get them.

00:21:53.100 Because chaos and violence is now a rule.

00:21:57.300 It's now something that you can use, and you can claim that it is right and righteous to use it.

00:22:04.020 So, this is something that is a new step, and we've been waiting for it and warning you about it.

00:22:12.540 And I've got a chalkboard on accelerationalism.

00:22:15.700 It is a warning step, and I believe the last step before you step onto the bridge called the Rubicon, that every American needs to take a deep breath and listen.

00:22:32.520 We'll do that next.

00:22:33.720 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:22:37.920 It's Rush Tax.

00:22:39.080 Tax problems don't always show up as letters in the mail.

00:22:42.040 Sometimes they show up at a door slamming shut, you know, right when you need it open.

00:22:46.460 That's what happened to Mr. R.

00:22:47.820 He's a world-renowned portraitist, and he found the IRS had frozen his passport over unpaid individual taxes.

00:22:56.580 Problem was, his work required international travel, and he had, you know, critical commitments coming in.

00:23:02.500 He just couldn't cancel or delay, and by the time he called Rush Tax, the stakes were really high, and the timeline was really tight.

00:23:09.280 Within 30 days.

00:23:11.540 First thing that happened, they got a passport freeze lifted, negotiated a complete resolution of $500,000 tax liability, settling it for over $20,000 over time.

00:23:23.120 Okay?

00:23:25.220 If you have a real problem, go to RushTaxResolution.com.

00:23:54.860 Sign up with your email.

00:23:56.220 It's at GlennBeck.com.

00:23:57.900 Coming on.

00:23:59.700 Coming on.

00:24:00.100 Yeah, we're talking about the first amendment number one.

00:24:18.380 This is something new coming to GlennBeck.com and the Torch.

00:24:34.860 How to learn the amendments of the Constitution.

00:24:37.860 But listen to this.

00:24:39.120 This is five in the first.

00:24:40.540 Let's just, Minnesota, hear this.

00:24:42.780 Freedom of religion.

00:24:45.620 I can choose what I believe.

00:24:47.600 Get on my speech.

00:24:48.660 Say my thoughts honestly.

00:24:50.160 Think of the press.

00:24:51.420 Print the truth.

00:24:52.440 Let it flow.

00:24:53.240 Let it assemble.

00:24:54.240 Meet in peace.

00:24:55.340 Let them know.

00:24:56.040 And petition.

00:24:57.020 Yeah, we get to disagree.

00:24:58.820 Ask the government to change things.

00:25:00.540 That's democracy.

00:25:01.600 That's five in the first.

00:25:02.920 Five in the first.

00:25:04.560 Five in the first.

00:25:06.200 Protecting you and me.

00:25:07.420 So you notice those five.

00:25:11.440 Doesn't mean be rude.

00:25:14.640 It means your voice can matter.

00:25:17.420 In the way you speak and dream.

00:25:20.960 From YouTube to a notebook.

00:25:23.460 So this is the thing that Minnesota doesn't get.

00:25:27.520 I'm for you protesting as long as it's actually peaceful.

00:25:32.340 Not mostly peaceful.

00:25:33.420 Actually peaceful.

00:25:34.360 I am for you questioning the government.

00:25:37.840 These are all your rights.

00:25:39.020 And I'll fight to the death for your right to do it.

00:25:41.700 But when you are targeting people.

00:25:44.300 When you are actually.

00:25:46.000 Well, let me.

00:25:46.480 Let me.

00:25:47.460 Look.

00:25:49.320 I've been warning about several things for a very long time.

00:25:53.720 One of them is the Bubba effect.

00:25:56.280 That I think will affect the right more than the left.

00:25:59.940 And you're starting to see pieces of it.

00:26:01.600 But you're also seeing something different happening on the right.

00:26:05.420 That is just as dangerous.

00:26:07.200 And could spell the end of.

00:26:09.500 Not just the Republic.

00:26:11.320 Civilization.

00:26:12.300 Okay.

00:26:14.060 Things have begun to accelerate.

00:26:16.780 So let me give you three facts here.

00:26:19.400 That are absolutely true.

00:26:21.860 One.

00:26:22.680 Fact number one.

00:26:23.940 There is a group of people.

00:26:25.580 And it is growing larger and larger.

00:26:27.340 And it is very well connected.

00:26:28.720 That believes society is corrupt and beyond repair.

00:26:33.960 Two.

00:26:34.840 That institutions are illegitimate.

00:26:38.140 Three.

00:26:38.600 That chaos is a legitimate tool.

00:26:41.720 And four.

00:26:42.840 Violence is an accelerant.

00:26:44.860 Okay.

00:26:45.860 There's been a group of people ever since I put up on the chalkboard.

00:26:48.660 That socialists and communists and anarchists and Islamists will work together.

00:26:51.620 Back in 2009.

00:26:52.800 They've always believed those things.

00:26:55.120 But now you're starting to see a couple of things.

00:26:58.300 One.

00:26:59.020 They're starting to come out.

00:27:00.260 But they're coming out in droves.

00:27:01.940 And this is where the change is.

00:27:05.040 They are now more connected than ever.

00:27:08.080 And you can follow the connections.

00:27:10.680 I mean.

00:27:11.480 I don't know if.

00:27:12.940 Did I show earlier the.

00:27:16.320 The signal group.

00:27:18.120 I mean this Cam Higby released this over the weekend.

00:27:23.040 And he said I have infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding, assaulting and obstructing them.

00:27:35.080 Each area of the city has a signal or several signals.

00:27:38.000 Let's start with a screen recording of all members in the south side group.

00:27:42.060 So he's revealing how these groups are all together and they're all connected and they're coordinating to make sure they're obstructing or harassing or impeding the federal government.

00:27:55.280 That is their sole intention.

00:27:58.100 So.

00:27:59.780 They've now connected in a very organized fashion.

00:28:04.260 So that leads me to fact number two.

00:28:06.200 Fact number one is there's a group that believes these things and they are now connected more than ever before.

00:28:12.160 Fact number two.

00:28:14.100 The line between protest and insurgent behavior is now blurred.

00:28:18.600 And this is where it becomes extraordinarily dangerous.

00:28:23.000 Okay.

00:28:23.580 Because society has a line.

00:28:26.720 And we are crossing that line.

00:28:29.400 So all of this stuff now.

00:28:32.380 Is happening in real time.

00:28:35.200 And for a long time, America treated, you know, political violence like a weather event.

00:28:40.780 You know, it was rare.

00:28:42.280 It was localized.

00:28:43.400 It was tragic.

00:28:43.980 And then it was over.

00:28:45.420 But law enforcement and researchers have been warning for years about the mindset that is different from normal extremism.

00:28:53.640 It's not just, I want my side to win.

00:28:56.400 It's, I want the system to break.

00:28:59.220 And it has that set of recognizable logic points.

00:29:06.300 Society is corrupt and beyond repair.

00:29:08.860 Institutions are illegitimate.

00:29:10.440 Chaos is a tool.

00:29:12.500 Violence is an accelerant.

00:29:13.880 That's not theory.

00:29:15.000 That's an observable ideological pattern across multiple movements and decades.

00:29:21.700 And the key change is it's now more connected than it used to be.

00:29:26.540 Not necessarily more disciplined.

00:29:28.280 Not necessarily bigger in raw numbers.

00:29:30.460 More connected.

00:29:31.860 More quickly mobilized.

00:29:33.760 More capable of spreading tactics, targets, and narratives.

00:29:37.400 And that changes the entire risk profile for the republic.

00:29:41.060 Second fact, protest and insurgent behavior being tested.

00:29:46.420 Protest now is, it's a protected right and should always be.

00:29:50.660 Even really loud protest.

00:29:52.940 Even the most offensive protests.

00:29:55.900 Even protest that makes you absolutely furious.

00:29:59.400 It is protected in America.

00:30:02.480 But there is that line that every stable society has to defend or it is no longer stable.

00:30:07.720 And that line is being crossed.

00:30:09.780 When any group begins to coordinate to obstruct lawful operations as strategy, not an accident.

00:30:16.360 When they begin to track or identify government personnel for intimidation.

00:30:22.100 When they build parallel communication networks specifically designed to evade accountability.

00:30:28.980 And when they justify targeting state actors as morally necessary.

00:30:34.240 These are not theoretical markers.

00:30:36.540 These are not just part of some group.

00:30:40.300 These are historically recognizable markers of an end of a civilization.

00:30:46.720 When the behaviors appear to question no longer, is this a demonstration?

00:30:54.120 The question becomes, is someone trying to build veto power over law enforcement through fear?

00:31:01.080 That's how we describe terrorism.

00:31:05.220 Once a movement believes it can control outcomes by making enforcement too costly, too dangerous, too politically radioactive.

00:31:14.840 Then law becomes optional.

00:31:17.880 And when the law is optional, what is the next step?

00:31:21.640 It's not persuasion.

00:31:25.180 It's escalation.

00:31:28.880 Third fact.

00:31:30.340 Cities are now laboratories when enforcement is inconsistent.

00:31:35.320 This is the part that's really hard to say out loud because it sounds like an insult to the city, but it isn't.

00:31:40.400 It's sociology.

00:31:41.080 When you have an environment with deep political polarization, a high distrust of institutions, uneven persecution or prosecution, sorry, activist ecosystems with strong NGO infrastructure and money coming from the state and a constant media feedback loop.

00:32:02.160 Those conditions don't automatically produce violence, but they do produce something else.

00:32:08.320 They produce a repeated stress test, not one riot, not one clash, but a series of them.

00:32:16.160 And they start to probe how fast can we mobilize?

00:32:19.620 What are police allowed to do?

00:32:21.800 Will any of the prosecutors follow through?

00:32:23.800 Will federal authorities pull back if we make it ugly enough?

00:32:27.200 Can we create martyrs?

00:32:28.960 Remember their name.

00:32:29.760 Remember their name.

00:32:30.520 Can we flood the zone with a narrative before the facts catch up to us?

00:32:36.300 This is what laboratory means.

00:32:38.380 Not that everybody is guilty, but that the environment is ideal for testing the boundaries of the state and the state has no choice.

00:32:45.380 It can respond, you know, a couple of ways.

00:32:48.040 Overreach, which manufactures recruits for the other side or paralysis, which manufactures militias.

00:32:55.960 Then you have a recipe for a replication.

00:33:00.580 You're watching a legitimacy war.

00:33:05.540 This is not a street conflict.

00:33:07.540 This is a legitimacy war.

00:33:10.320 Most people misread this as left and right.

00:33:13.080 The deeper problem is this.

00:33:15.480 When large number of Americans across different tribes believe enforcement is political, courts are selective, bureaucratic power is unaccountable, rules change depending on who you are.

00:33:31.080 Then extremists don't have to convert the nation.

00:33:34.760 They only need to convince a small percentage that the system doesn't deserve obedience.

00:33:39.760 All those things I just said, I know people in many of them, I believe.

00:33:46.480 Once this idea spreads, violence starts to sound like a tool and not a taboo.

00:33:53.000 Now, here's where we cross the Rubicon.

00:33:55.200 If any of this becomes normalized, when people start, let me ask you this, this weekend, how many people, how many conversations when you were with people, how many conversations discussed anything seriously about what we're facing?

00:34:18.440 Did anyone's church talk about this as the end of civilization or warning signs or how we're to behave at this point?

00:34:31.660 Did any church, did anything?

00:34:34.260 Because my weekend didn't include any of that.

00:34:37.760 And I saw people all weekend long.

00:34:39.660 I had quick conversations.

00:34:42.720 But most people were like, yeah, I'm not following it.

00:34:45.360 I'm just so tired of it.

00:34:46.560 You're done.

00:34:47.540 You're done.

00:34:48.160 As a nation, you're done.

00:34:50.620 Not an instant civil war, but something quite honestly quieter and more corrosive.

00:34:57.080 Because intimidation now can become routine.

00:35:01.000 Doxing becomes standard.

00:35:02.740 Threats become organizing tools.

00:35:05.120 Violence becomes understandable.

00:35:07.900 And every incident gets absorbed into the propaganda engine before the facts are ever known.

00:35:13.520 This is how countries fracture and die.

00:35:15.940 Not in one dramatic way, but in a slow permission slip.

00:35:20.060 So, what do we do?

00:35:26.920 We're in the most dangerous phase.

00:35:28.820 The early phase.

00:35:30.400 And history is really blunt here.

00:35:32.520 This is the phase that destroys republics.

00:35:38.000 It's not when violence is everywhere.

00:35:39.620 It's this phase.

00:35:40.600 When violence is still sporadic.

00:35:42.440 But it is being justified.

00:35:43.780 But it is being justified.

00:35:44.780 It's being romanticized.

00:35:47.180 It's being excused.

00:35:48.360 And it's being operationalized.

00:35:51.200 That's when recruitment grows.

00:35:53.600 That's when copycats appear.

00:35:55.900 That's when people stop trusting investigations.

00:35:58.560 That's when each side begins preparing for the worst.

00:36:01.660 And preparation itself becomes self-fulfilling.

00:36:04.820 So, if we want to stop this, if we want to avoid the slow fracture, there have to be things that are not negotiable.

00:36:16.360 One, uniform consequences for political violence.

00:36:21.580 Never our side exceptions.

00:36:25.280 No moral licensing.

00:36:27.320 No, mostly peaceful.

00:36:29.460 No.

00:36:30.060 If you're trying to terrorize a community into compliance, if you're burning buildings down, if you are shouting and intimidating, no.

00:36:37.600 That's not a peaceful protest.

00:36:39.340 That's not what that is.

00:36:41.260 Lawful, restrained, visible enforcement.

00:36:44.500 Listen to this again.

00:36:46.760 Lawful, restrained enforcement.

00:36:50.480 Precision matters.

00:36:52.700 Because overreach creates martyrs.

00:36:55.340 Weakness creates paramilitaries.

00:36:58.220 The state has to be both firm and disciplined.

00:37:01.880 This is a really razor's edge knife that our federal government is on.

00:37:07.380 Almost, I mean, this is, I'm going to get into the shooting this weekend.

00:37:14.500 You're putting them in impossible situations.

00:37:19.320 We need radical transparency after any serious incident.

00:37:23.520 We need body cams, timelines, independent review, and we need them lightning fast.

00:37:29.160 Because legitimacy doesn't survive in an information vacuum.

00:37:33.340 Because there is no vacuum anymore.

00:37:35.200 Nature hates a vacuum, and so does China.

00:37:37.380 And they are filling it up.

00:37:38.380 We also need sunlight on funding and coordination of networks.

00:37:43.940 Not to criminalize you as a civic group.

00:37:46.560 America needs civic groups.

00:37:48.200 But to expose when money and organization and street pressure merge into something coercive.

00:37:54.200 If you are funding this, your name should be known.

00:37:58.120 And you should be questioned by the federal government.

00:38:00.840 Also, a new national re-tabooing of political violence.

00:38:07.960 You know, the fastest way a country loses itself when citizens start saying,

00:38:11.280 well, I don't like it, but I understand it.

00:38:13.000 No, you don't understand.

00:38:14.240 You never should understand political violence.

00:38:17.080 You don't understand it into a safer country.

00:38:19.860 You don't.

00:38:20.160 You condemn it.

00:38:21.200 You prosecute it.

00:38:22.160 You deny it any cultural permission.

00:38:25.260 Period.

00:38:25.620 We're not doomed, but we are right there on the Rubicon.

00:38:32.620 We are at the threshold moment where a minority of people are trying to normalize the idea

00:38:38.080 that power can be taken or blocked through fear.

00:38:41.480 And if that threshold is crossed, you don't get freedom.

00:38:46.180 You get factional control.

00:38:48.180 You get selective enforcement.

00:38:49.900 You get vendettas.

00:38:50.800 You get a country where the quiet, decent people withdraw from public life

00:38:54.240 because it's too dangerous to speak.

00:38:56.660 That's not America's future unless we continue to allow it.

00:39:02.800 And the way to prevent it is not with rage.

00:39:05.420 It's not with denial.

00:39:06.660 It's with one standard applied evenly to everyone in the daylight

00:39:11.260 because the only thing stronger than an angry street

00:39:14.540 is a public that actually understands and believes the law is real.

00:39:21.340 More in a minute.

00:39:22.280 Let me tell you about a fertile launcher.

00:39:24.800 Most people think seriously about self-defense

00:39:27.540 and they're not looking to make that process more complicated.

00:39:31.200 In an emergency, you're looking for something that gives them control of the situation.

00:39:34.760 They want an option that buys them time and space

00:39:37.540 and a way out when a situation turns bad without warning.

00:39:41.020 Berna makes guns these less lethal self-defense tools.

00:39:46.600 They look just like guns.

00:39:48.020 They operate like a gun except they don't kill people.

00:39:50.340 But they make them in black so it looks like a gun and they make them also in orange so they don't look like a gun.

00:39:55.260 And I have to tell you, I've bought the black ones.

00:39:58.420 I think it's probably pretty wise to buy one that is orange because if you're in a street

00:40:03.020 and you pull out something that looks like a gun, you could get shot.

00:40:07.400 I want it to be very, very clear.

00:40:09.220 This is not a gun.

00:40:10.660 What matters to a lot of people is access.

00:40:13.380 The Berna launcher is legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a permit anywhere.

00:40:17.320 It means you don't have to navigate a complicated process or wait on permissions just to have a responsible option available.

00:40:23.740 Berna is about preparedness.

00:40:26.120 It's not about panic, not about expecting trouble, but recognizing when seconds matter,

00:40:31.060 you've got to have a tool that gives you control of that situation.

00:40:34.160 It makes all the difference.

00:40:35.080 Go to Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

00:40:37.680 Learn more.

00:40:38.200 Try before you buy it at a sportsman's warehouse located near you.

00:40:40.800 You'll find one at Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.

00:40:47.320 You know, the host does have to pee every now and then.

00:40:53.480 Glenn Beck will be right back.

00:41:06.800 A lot of people judge their sleep by how many hours they get, but that's just part of the story.

00:41:12.000 You can spend a full night in bed and still wake up stiff, overheated, you know, weirdly unrested,

00:41:18.440 like your body never really settled into recovery mode.

00:41:21.660 That's usually not about discipline or bedtime routines.

00:41:25.080 It's about what you're sleeping on, and that's where Ghostbed stands out.

00:41:29.540 Their mattresses are designed to regulate temperatures so you're not waking up hot and kicking covers on and off all night.

00:41:36.000 And that, you know, instead of the soft but unsupportive foam thing that's been going around lately,

00:41:42.040 Ghostbed focuses on keeping your body properly aligned while still feeling comfortable the moment you lie down.

00:41:49.000 The result is sleep that actually feels restorative.

00:41:52.420 You fall asleep faster, you stay asleep more consistently,

00:41:55.040 and you wake up feeling like your body did what it was supposed to do overnight instead of fighting the mattress the entire time.

00:42:01.540 With tens of thousands of positive reviews, award-winning designs, and a 101-night sleep trial,

00:42:08.880 Ghostbed gives you plenty of time to feel the difference for yourself.

00:42:12.900 I have a Ghostbed downstairs from where I am right now.

00:42:15.120 I love it.

00:42:16.140 Every Ghostbed comes with a 101-night sleep trial, so if you don't love it,

00:42:19.740 you can return it for free and get your money back.

00:42:21.500 It's nice and easy, no risk.

00:42:23.180 Ghostbed is giving you their best deal of the year,

00:42:25.520 plus an extra 10% off when you use the code Blaze at ghostbed.com slash Blaze.

00:42:33.040 Promo code is Blaze.

00:42:44.940 So, I guess the nation is debating whether or not you can bring a gun to a protest.

00:42:50.920 I don't know what the debate is.

00:42:52.900 The answer is yes.

00:42:55.160 Now, you might debate whether that's a smart idea or not.

00:42:58.740 That's different, but yeah, you have a right to carry a gun to a protest.

00:43:02.300 But I want to talk about that and gold next.

00:43:07.680 You know, a lot of back discomfort comes from one big movement,

00:43:11.140 and it comes from repetition.

00:43:13.480 Sitting too long.

00:43:14.500 Standing too long.

00:43:15.380 Moving the same way every day.

00:43:16.900 And over time, that tension just settles in and starts to feel normal,

00:43:20.480 even though it shouldn't.

00:43:21.220 What Chirp does is go straight to the source of that tension.

00:43:25.180 Their wheel-style back rollers are designed to target the muscles that run along your spine,

00:43:30.320 the ones that really get tight and overworked and become stiff from daily life.

00:43:34.640 You lie back, you roll slowly, and you let those muscles finally start to release.

00:43:38.920 It's so satisfying.

00:43:40.520 The design is smart and intentional.

00:43:42.240 There's a groove down the center, so you're never putting pressure on your own spine itself.

00:43:45.280 Just the muscle on either side.

00:43:47.600 And with the multiple wheel sizes, you can control how deep the stretch goes,

00:43:51.440 whether you want it something gentle or more targeted.

00:43:53.820 Simple tool, but it addresses the problems a lot of people have been living with for a lot of years.

00:43:58.620 If that's you, please go to gochirp.com slash Beck.

00:44:02.820 That's gochirp.com slash Beck.

00:44:45.280 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:44:57.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:01.280 Glenn Beck is on.

00:45:03.620 Hello, America.

00:45:05.040 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:06.980 I've been saying, look out for gold when it hits $5,000 an ounce.

00:45:10.120 You don't want to know what the chaos is like.

00:45:13.340 Well, we're here.

00:45:14.780 It's a pretty chaotic world.

00:45:17.320 I think we can all agree.

00:45:18.920 Gold, yes, last week, Friday, hit $5,110 an ounce.

00:45:25.580 Excuse me?

00:45:28.120 Uh, wow, that's a, that's kind of a big gain.

00:45:31.280 $5,110 an ounce.

00:45:34.260 They're now saying it's going to be up at $7,000 an ounce.

00:45:39.120 Why?

00:45:39.980 Why is this happening?

00:45:41.780 Well, it's very important that you understand this because everything that you're seeing in the news.

00:45:48.160 Look, my, my job is to not tell you what happened yesterday.

00:45:54.020 My job is to explain why what happened yesterday matters and what it means to tomorrow.

00:46:00.540 So you're prepared.

00:46:01.840 Okay.

00:46:02.120 If you want to know what happened yesterday, go, you know, go find some other show.

00:46:06.260 This is, why is this so important and how does this affect tomorrow?

00:46:10.620 And I'm going to show that to you in just 60 seconds.

00:46:13.780 First, you know, your phone is one of the few things you rely on every day, all day long.

00:46:18.420 Uh, you know, it calls, it texts, it maps, you know, uh, work, family, all run through one device.

00:46:24.580 And that one device, and most people never stop to think about the company behind it.

00:46:28.000 That one device is your connection to everything.

00:46:30.140 But what you don't realize is that most of the big mobile companies use your money to support causes and agendas that you probably don't agree with.

00:46:39.240 You're, you're paying the bill, your service works, and your dollar is just going to places that you would never choose for your dollar to go to.

00:46:46.700 Patriot Mobile exists to change that.

00:46:49.200 They offer nationwide coverage on the same major networks that you're already using, but they operate with a clear set of values that align with their customers.

00:46:57.000 Let me tell you something.

00:46:58.120 Why?

00:46:58.440 We already give enough taxpayer money to these NGOs.

00:47:02.340 Why would you spend a dollar with one of these big mobile phone companies that are doing the same thing and propping up all these things you disagree with?

00:47:10.440 Go to the only Christian conservative mobile phone company, I think in the world, but definitely here in America.

00:47:15.340 It's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:47:17.840 That's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

00:47:20.260 972-PATRIOT.

00:47:22.020 972-PATRIOT.

00:47:23.020 Use the promo code Beck.

00:47:23.980 Get a free month of service.

00:47:29.800 Well, let me first quickly say hi to Stu, our executive producer, who's been an executive producer of mine for how many years, Stu?

00:47:38.060 How many years?

00:47:39.100 28 big ones, Glenn.

00:47:40.880 I can't hear you.

00:47:41.720 Well, that's a dream come true.

00:47:43.200 Stu, he's not coming through.

00:47:44.820 I can't hear him.

00:47:45.260 Not hearing him?

00:47:45.440 I can't hear him.

00:47:46.080 Does America hear him?

00:47:47.040 Because I can't hear him.

00:47:47.780 America always hears me, Glenn.

00:47:49.100 Gosh darn it, I can't hear you.

00:47:50.300 Oh, well, going to have to move on.

00:47:51.860 Anyway, we'll be back with Stu.

00:47:53.920 I really, honestly, I can't hear him.

00:47:55.800 So make sure you check the feed, but we'll have, it's unfortunate, Stu.

00:48:01.100 It's almost like that was planned, but it wasn't.

00:48:02.880 Strangely enough, God is intervening.

00:48:06.260 We're going to talk to Stu a little later on in the program, and it's his last week on the program, so we're going to be celebrating some of that as well.

00:48:14.320 Not that it's his last week.

00:48:15.600 Celebrate some of this stuff.

00:48:16.860 Well, a little of both, I guess.

00:48:18.280 Anyway, let me get to gold.

00:48:20.880 Gold, $5,100 an ounce.

00:48:23.180 Okay.

00:48:23.980 Why is this happening?

00:48:25.100 Well, the first thing that you need to understand is gold is a barometer.

00:48:32.460 Gold is a barometer of belief.

00:48:35.480 And what happened last week?

00:48:37.420 What was the consensus that came out of the World Economic Forum for the entire world to see?

00:48:43.620 I want you to think of this like a guy who has billions of dollars that you could invest.

00:48:49.320 Because to stay safe, to stay ahead of the game, you have to think like that, and then act in your own world.

00:48:57.040 And if I have time today, otherwise I'll do it tomorrow, I'm going to show you how you interpret this and how you can act at all levels.

00:49:04.060 Okay.

00:49:04.600 But you have to think like a billionaire.

00:49:07.300 And the billionaires are moving money.

00:49:10.460 Okay.

00:49:10.700 Why are they moving money?

00:49:12.060 What happened last week?

00:49:14.800 What happened last week was at the WEF.

00:49:17.520 The WEF openly came out and said, the old system doesn't work.

00:49:25.100 And it's failing.

00:49:27.320 So it was a consensus around the world that what the West has built no longer is any good and it won't work.

00:49:36.560 Got to find a way out.

00:49:38.500 That's what all smart money, all central banks, the entire world that's paying attention.

00:49:45.660 That is the message that they heard last week at the WEF.

00:49:49.300 Okay.

00:49:50.760 Now let me layer on a couple of other things that you probably don't know.

00:49:54.480 We are headed towards a tripwire and it's a race to the finish line.

00:50:00.280 So let me give you the first tripwire.

00:50:02.400 And that is Japan.

00:50:04.740 Japan is.

00:50:06.160 Imagine an old man on a treadmill.

00:50:10.080 Okay.

00:50:11.160 This old Japanese man on a treadmill.

00:50:13.760 It was supposed to be temporary, him on this treadmill, but it turned into a life support machine.

00:50:18.900 And now he's got to keep running.

00:50:20.900 If he's not running, everything dies.

00:50:22.880 Okay.

00:50:23.700 For 40 years, Japan has been like that little guy on the treadmill told, you got to keep moving.

00:50:29.840 You can't stop.

00:50:30.580 Stay.

00:50:31.420 Stay.

00:50:31.760 Because if you stop, it means recession.

00:50:36.080 So what's wrong with recession?

00:50:39.040 Here's the part that nobody's ever really told you.

00:50:41.540 Americans don't realize.

00:50:44.180 If he stops, it's bad.

00:50:46.140 If he speeds up, it's bad.

00:50:48.460 And not bad for Japan, but us.

00:50:50.900 Here's why.

00:50:52.620 Japan's government has piled up so much debt that even normal interest costs become dangerous.

00:51:01.760 That's why Japan has spent decades now making money too easy at home.

00:51:08.080 Okay.

00:51:08.580 Zero percent.

00:51:09.720 At some point, they were in negative interest rates.

00:51:13.260 Okay.

00:51:13.780 Please take the money.

00:51:15.000 We'll pay you to take the money.

00:51:18.300 Interest rates.

00:51:19.380 If borrowing ever gets expensive, the bill will swallow the budget in Japan and here.

00:51:27.280 And the world has gotten used to a place where Japan was the place to go borrow cheap money.

00:51:35.360 Now, here's where the story becomes our problem.

00:51:39.760 Japan is not just a country.

00:51:42.220 Japan is a country we've kept alive for a couple of reasons.

00:51:45.500 One of them is they are a gigantic buyer of American IOUs.

00:51:51.360 You'll hear them talked about as bonds.

00:51:53.760 Okay.

00:51:54.220 But they're IOUs.

00:51:55.420 We're like, hey, we want to, we want to build this train to nowhere.

00:51:59.480 We're going to, we're only going to build a miles worth of track and we're going to be $4 billion over budget.

00:52:06.220 But we're telling you up front, it's not going anywhere.

00:52:09.440 We need the $4 billion.

00:52:11.380 Okay.

00:52:12.300 And Japan, because they needed us, Japan would go, we'll buy that.

00:52:18.080 We'll buy that.

00:52:20.600 They now hold about $1.2 trillion in treasuries.

00:52:25.080 They're the largest foreign holder.

00:52:26.860 It's not China.

00:52:27.680 Thank God.

00:52:28.120 It's Japan.

00:52:28.680 And that matters because their purchasing helps keep our borrowing costs from rising even faster.

00:52:36.940 But the treadmill is starting to wobble.

00:52:38.640 In late 2025 into this month, 2026, Japan's long bond yields have surged.

00:52:49.680 Japan's 40-year government bond yield moved above 4% since the first time that the bonds existed.

00:52:57.320 What does that mean?

00:52:59.120 That means if you borrowed money from Japan, you are, you are now, or if, let's see, if you, yeah, if you want to borrow money from Japan, it now is going to cost you 4%.

00:53:16.660 It used to be zero.

00:53:20.940 This means the market doesn't want to play pretend anymore with Japan.

00:53:25.240 Okay.

00:53:25.720 They're not satisfied with that.

00:53:27.320 And when Japan's yields rise, the temptation begins.

00:53:32.340 I can get 4% in Japan if I buy a bond.

00:53:38.680 Why would I lend to America when I can lend to Japan for more?

00:53:44.600 So the money that used to flow outward can come home.

00:53:49.620 Now, let me explain tripwire without all the Wall Street language.

00:53:54.240 For years, people borrowed in yen because it was cheap.

00:53:58.280 So what did they do?

00:54:00.280 Because it was 0% interest or negative percent interest, you would go over and you'd say, I want to borrow a billion dollars.

00:54:08.220 And people would borrow a billion dollars, a billion yen, and they would, they would buy it and they'd get it.

00:54:15.740 Sometimes they were making money on borrowing it, but at least it was zero.

00:54:19.300 And they would trade that, those yen into U.S. dollars.

00:54:23.320 And then they would buy things that paid more.

00:54:25.820 So the stock market or a U.S. bond or whatever, okay?

00:54:31.200 This is called the yen carry trade.

00:54:33.840 Here's what you need to know about it.

00:54:35.160 It doesn't work, okay?

00:54:36.680 It's so unbelievably immoral, it's just frightening.

00:54:39.460 So what they were doing was they're buying a bunch of cheap yen printed over in Japan.

00:54:47.280 They would then take that yen, which they sometimes, again, were making money on borrowing.

00:54:53.460 Think of Goldman Sachs going over, a big bank going over and saying, I want a billion yen.

00:54:57.860 And we're going to, we're going to take that billion yen.

00:54:59.700 We're going to get out of that, you know, half a billion dollars.

00:55:02.380 And we're going to take that half a billion dollars and we're going to invest it in Wall Street.

00:55:05.700 We're making money from Japan because they're giving us 1% on borrowing that.

00:55:11.000 They're giving us an additional 1% every year for holding those yen and taking that loan out from them.

00:55:17.900 And then we go to Wall Street, we make 6% or 8% or 10%.

00:55:21.080 So we're making 11%.

00:55:22.680 This is great.

00:55:25.300 We win.

00:55:26.860 Unless things change.

00:55:29.620 If the yen suddenly swings the other way, if it strengthens, the borrower's panic.

00:55:35.700 Okay.

00:55:36.460 And they rush to undo the trade.

00:55:39.480 Why?

00:55:41.080 Why?

00:55:42.580 Because that money's not free.

00:55:46.160 And when you rush to undo it, you sell the things you bought with dollars and you get back into the yen.

00:55:53.860 That pushes U.S. markets around.

00:55:56.320 That pushes U.S. interest rates up.

00:55:58.760 That turns a problem over there into a problem over here.

00:56:03.420 So Japan is trapped.

00:56:05.620 And the trap has a wire running across the Pacific tied to the exact same global system America sits inside.

00:56:12.760 So that's the first reason why gold is screaming.

00:56:16.320 It's saying, wait, wait, wait.

00:56:18.740 What's happening with Japan?

00:56:20.700 Japan can't move.

00:56:22.540 And Japan's going to have to move.

00:56:24.260 But they can't move.

00:56:27.300 Now, there's another side of this.

00:56:30.620 From Japan, go across the sea and you go to China.

00:56:36.540 China is much, much worse.

00:56:39.680 Okay?

00:56:40.300 Much, much worse.

00:56:41.960 And nobody's willing to talk about this.

00:56:44.320 And this leads to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

00:56:48.260 I'll explain that here in just a second.

00:56:49.940 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:56:53.260 Our sponsor this half hour is Z Factor.

00:56:57.640 A lot of people are in bed for eight hours a night.

00:56:59.700 Not sleeping.

00:57:00.480 Technically in bed, but still not getting real rest.

00:57:02.720 The lights are off.

00:57:03.840 The house is quiet.

00:57:05.060 You know, the body never really powers down.

00:57:07.000 You want to fall asleep.

00:57:08.860 Maybe you fall asleep for a minute and then you wake up again and you start the day feeling like you never really reset anything.

00:57:14.040 That's happening.

00:57:14.840 If that's happening to you, all you have to know about is Z Factor.

00:57:18.320 Z Factor.

00:57:18.900 It is a sleep supplement made to help your body move into a calmer, more stable state at night.

00:57:24.760 So sleep does what it's supposed to do.

00:57:28.780 It comes from the same team that makes Relief Factor and it's built with the goal of supporting natural sleep without leaving you feeling heavy or disconnected the next morning.

00:57:36.460 When your nervous system actually gets a break, rest feels different and you wake up clear.

00:57:56.500 Start the new year with Z Factor.

00:57:58.880 10 seconds and back to the chalkboard.

00:58:00.880 Okay, I want you to, for a minute, when we talk about China, I just want you to imagine a city made of mirrors.

00:58:18.960 And from a distance, it looks like a giant skyline.

00:58:23.420 But the closer and closer you get to it, you see this is just reflections stacked on reflections.

00:58:31.660 None of this is real.

00:58:32.740 That's China's debt story.

00:58:36.120 And if you think our debt is bad, you ain't heard nothing yet.

00:58:45.300 China, you know, built a modern miracle.

00:58:49.380 We saw all of these things they were building.

00:58:51.400 We're like, look at what China is doing.

00:58:53.140 But it was built at speed and the speed of desperation.

00:58:58.200 And the foundation of all of it is just borrowing and crazy borrowing.

00:59:03.220 The simplest hard fact that can explain China is China's total borrowing.

00:59:09.820 Government plus households plus companies has gotten enormous relative to the size of its economy.

00:59:17.700 One estimate, we only can work on estimates because you can't trust what China says.

00:59:22.360 One estimate, reputable, says China's overall debt to GDP is around 290% by the end of 2024.

00:59:32.840 And what is secret and nobody talks about is the local government hidden debt.

00:59:38.980 Also, the data shows China's credit to the private non-financial sector, about 200% of GDP.

00:59:48.940 Okay, but that's not the real story.

00:59:50.860 The number is not the story.

00:59:52.040 It's the structure.

00:59:53.000 Listen how crazy China has done this.

00:59:57.060 China has two big pressure chambers.

01:00:00.620 One, property as the national savings account.

01:00:04.660 For years, apartments weren't just homes.

01:00:08.420 They were the main store of wealth.

01:00:10.900 So the system kept building and building and building and telling people, buy these apartments and we'll take the money.

01:00:18.980 But you can't have the apartment until you totally pay for it.

01:00:22.020 And you'll pay for it in 25 years, then you'll get the apartment.

01:00:25.300 The apartment's already built, okay?

01:00:27.140 But nobody's living in them because everybody's buying them and you don't get it until you pay it off.

01:00:32.340 The local governments were the ones doing all of this.

01:00:37.940 They were borrowing money through side doors.

01:00:41.380 So China has got its own debt.

01:00:43.500 Then China pressured the local governments because they needed money for these projects and growth targets.

01:00:50.280 So they just went and created these, quote, special vehicles off to the side that's not as visible as the normal government debt.

01:00:59.180 The IMF just said their off-the-side debt is about 46% of their GDP.

01:01:06.500 And that's the end of 2023.

01:01:09.540 So when property sales fall, local governments are losing a key revenue source.

01:01:17.460 What do they do when they lose that?

01:01:19.660 So they lose this key revenue source and their ability to pay for things weakens.

01:01:29.680 And safe investment products start to look, I don't know, less safe.

01:01:33.480 So China is so close to the edge because not only is their federal government way overloaded, but their consumers have bought all this stuff that may have been sold two or three times and they don't actually own it.

01:01:48.840 And the money to pay for all of the building of these ghost cities is on the locals.

01:01:54.800 And just the local debt is 46% of GDP.

01:01:59.720 Okay.

01:02:01.800 Margin of error here is so thin.

01:02:05.160 And the moment, just like anything else, remember gold is a barometer.

01:02:08.980 And what is it a barometer of?

01:02:10.940 Trust.

01:02:11.540 The moment that public belief, the moment ordinary people in China believe the guarantees are not guarantees, the danger isn't math.

01:02:22.760 The danger is a rush for the exits on everybody.

01:02:26.640 See the video.

01:02:28.020 It's free yet this week on glenbeck.com for the torch.

01:02:31.800 See the educational video I did, Capital Controls.

01:02:35.960 I'm telling you these things now because no one else will.

01:02:39.060 Everybody was asking me last week, what does it mean?

01:02:40.940 What does it mean?

01:02:41.400 What does it mean?

01:02:41.980 I'll tell you what it means.

01:02:43.460 It's much more complicated than, you know, just like, well, things are getting crazy.

01:02:48.140 This is things are getting crazy and people who have money know it.

01:02:53.900 China's leaders, they have tools, they have controls, they have state banks, they have directed rescues.

01:02:59.240 Those can slow down the crash, but they've already done most of those.

01:03:02.720 But they also confirm the problem.

01:03:04.480 You don't need emergency tools unless something is breaking.

01:03:07.000 And when the world senses that China's growth engine is no longer a growth engine, when it becomes a debt engine, what are we going to do without China?

01:03:17.560 China, United States, we're the only ones growing.

01:03:21.020 Do you understand that?

01:03:21.860 When Donald Trump said, we're the only ones, that's what he meant by that.

01:03:25.940 Everybody in that room understood China is on the verge.

01:03:31.640 But the United States is on the verge because of Japan.

01:03:34.080 Japan, so where do you go?

01:03:38.100 Well, you go to the thing that is older than promises, and that is gold or silver.

01:03:43.760 And that's what's happening to gold.

01:03:46.260 That's what's happening to gold.

01:03:48.380 But I'm not done yet.

01:03:52.540 Let me give you some good news.

01:03:55.600 Gold rises not because people are greedy, but because people, they get sober.

01:04:01.640 They sober up.

01:04:02.980 So what's happening with gold is people are sobering up.

01:04:06.960 All right?

01:04:07.740 This is the sound of people buying fire insurance in a neighborhood where everybody smells smoke and everybody's house is on fire.

01:04:16.380 And so they're buying fire insurance.

01:04:19.140 Okay?

01:04:19.340 The world's drowning in debt, not just America.

01:04:23.320 The global debt, by the way, is $251 trillion.

01:04:27.220 That means the entire system is just going to melt down.

01:04:32.360 And so you can't cut rates without consequences.

01:04:35.120 You can't stimulate because of currency weaknesses.

01:04:38.940 So who's buying it?

01:04:40.280 First of all, the central banks are buying it by the ton.

01:04:45.820 And people who know are buying it because they know something really bad is around the corner.

01:04:53.780 But we're the safest house in the burning neighborhood.

01:04:58.660 Remember, every house is on fire.

01:05:00.320 But we're not the worst house.

01:05:02.960 We're still the safest house.

01:05:04.600 Not because we're perfect.

01:05:06.020 Not because we got it down.

01:05:07.360 But because everybody else, including China, Europe is worse.

01:05:12.320 China, Europe, Japan, everybody has these deep vulnerabilities.

01:05:19.100 And we're sitting here worried about the guy on the treadmill in Japan.

01:05:25.840 Everybody else, they're worried about the fire that is burning their whole house down.

01:05:31.160 So what does this have to do with Minnesota?

01:05:33.420 I'll tell you next.

01:05:37.360 So new research is confirming something deeply heartbreaking.

01:05:47.660 Millions of American women carry lasting emotional pain after an abortion.

01:05:52.340 Lingering regret that often goes unseen and unaddressed.

01:05:55.920 And they don't want to talk about it.

01:05:58.000 The people at Preborn see this reality close up every day.

01:06:01.080 This is why I love working with Preborn.

01:06:03.560 Because it's not just about saving the baby.

01:06:06.200 They recognize mom is in deep trouble herself emotionally.

01:06:11.560 They work in side clinics where women are not just making the medical decision.

01:06:15.500 They're facing fear and pressure and uncertainty in one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

01:06:21.720 But there's hope.

01:06:22.540 And it starts with something simple and powerful.

01:06:24.920 When a woman sees her baby on an ultrasound, most likely everything changes.

01:06:29.400 That one moment can double a baby's chance at life and give mom the space to pause and really see the life that is in front of her.

01:06:36.900 That's what Preborn does.

01:06:38.440 They provide free ultrasounds, compassionate counseling, gospel-centered support through their network of clinics.

01:06:44.400 If you believe that every child matters, no woman should walk this road.

01:06:48.260 She is a child of God as well.

01:06:50.480 If you need to help Preborn, if you will, make a donation.

01:06:53.820 Just hit pound 250, pound 250.

01:06:56.060 Say the keyword baby.

01:06:57.460 Preborn.com slash baby.

01:07:00.600 It's your last week to get free content from The Torch.

01:07:04.000 Get it now at glennbeck.com.

01:07:05.880 Coming on, yeah.

01:07:30.780 So I've been going down this chalkboard here in the studio today,

01:07:34.420 which is honestly one of the reasons why I started The Torch and started this new work ethic for me and my staff,

01:07:44.220 is we would sometimes have to wait until Wednesday and prepare a whole show, etc., etc., until we got there.

01:07:50.700 And so I wasn't giving you the information.

01:07:53.140 Sometimes I felt like I wasn't giving you the information in a timely manner.

01:07:56.140 I was waiting sometimes three weeks before I could get it to you in a television form.

01:08:01.700 And I don't like that wait.

01:08:04.420 And so now, like every day, I mean, practically every day, this is my second chalkboard of the day.

01:08:10.520 I can explain things to you when they're happening.

01:08:13.960 And I've made this change because things are happening more rapidly than they have before.

01:08:20.800 And everything matters.

01:08:22.800 And they are connected.

01:08:24.420 I'm going to show you how gold is connected also to what you're seeing in Minnesota here in a second.

01:08:29.280 But, you know, I have five things, six things on this chalkboard.

01:08:33.300 Japan, explain it.

01:08:34.760 It's a treadmill.

01:08:36.240 It's a crazy treadmill.

01:08:37.780 And they can't get off it.

01:08:38.880 They can't speed up and they can't slow down.

01:08:41.260 China is a house of mirrors.

01:08:43.880 Gold is insurance.

01:08:46.620 We're the safest house on the block.

01:08:49.380 But that changes with number five, civil unrest.

01:08:53.240 Okay.

01:08:54.240 What we're seeing in Minnesota is so incredibly dangerous if this spreads.

01:09:01.420 Let me first remind you that our DOJ, FBI, CISA, all of these things have been issuing public warnings for a few years now saying, look, disinformation, disinformation.

01:09:15.700 We know we have the videos of these giant server farms where they all have iPhones plugged into them.

01:09:22.580 And, I mean, there are thousands, tens of thousands of phones, and these bots are just sending out, you know, posts and reposting and reposting from the other bot and everything else.

01:09:36.080 And you're not getting the truth anymore.

01:09:38.460 You think you're getting something real, but you're not.

01:09:41.340 The algorithms are all being affected because China and Russia are two biggest enemies and Iran are all, they have these giant farms where they are pushing fake social media out.

01:09:54.920 And what are they doing?

01:09:57.120 Why would China benefit from chaos here in America?

01:10:02.260 How does that possibly benefit them?

01:10:05.580 Well, what is our greatest strength?

01:10:07.380 A lot of people will say our weapons systems, but it's not.

01:10:12.380 It's not.

01:10:13.600 Our greatest strength as a country comes from certain rules of law.

01:10:19.840 The law of contracts, the law of property, that we are stable, that we're generally a well-educated, I don't know if I can say this one anymore, but well-educated group of people, and that we're hard workers.

01:10:33.180 If America fractures into constant street conflict or a national divorce, what happens?

01:10:41.680 What happens?

01:10:42.900 What has Donald Trump been doing for the last 12 months?

01:10:46.560 And he's been bragging about it, and people don't seem to care because I don't think they understand what this means.

01:10:51.960 But he's been saying, I've got $18 trillion of investment coming in, $18 trillion, never been done before.

01:11:00.020 You're right, never been done before.

01:11:01.540 Not even close, never been done before.

01:11:03.960 But what does that actually mean?

01:11:06.900 That means that foreign companies are investing in America.

01:11:11.300 They're building factories here in America.

01:11:14.140 Now, why would they do that?

01:11:17.000 They do that for a couple of reasons.

01:11:18.480 One, the tariffs.

01:11:19.520 I'm going to make it so expensive you're not going to be able to sell a truck in the United States.

01:11:24.100 Build them in the United States, and I'll help you out.

01:11:25.720 There's one reason.

01:11:27.060 The other reason is every other market is collapsing.

01:11:31.940 And so they're looking for something stable, something where nobody's going to come and grab their company.

01:11:38.540 Nobody's going to put new rules on them and make them go out of business.

01:11:41.940 They're looking for something that has constitutional order and is stable.

01:11:47.460 So it's worth their while to do two things.

01:11:50.060 One, make sure that the biggest market or now second biggest market in the world is still buying our products without tariffs.

01:11:56.980 And let's hedge our bet that some of the places we do business in, for instance, even Germany, Japan, it may not work.

01:12:06.880 And we, we may have to be, we may have to be offshore someplace that is stable so we don't lose everything.

01:12:15.200 Okay.

01:12:17.640 If America fractures, that investment is no longer good.

01:12:23.840 That investment from all over the globe is bad.

01:12:26.620 They take that money and they're like, I'm not investing there because you can't trust that.

01:12:31.200 That thing's about to collapse.

01:12:32.840 What happens?

01:12:33.940 Credit tightens.

01:12:36.380 Insurance costs explode.

01:12:38.900 Retirement accounts get hammered.

01:12:41.180 And the people who suffer first are not the powerful.

01:12:43.660 They're the ordinary ones.

01:12:46.180 Civil disorder does not punish the system.

01:12:49.080 It punishes the family.

01:12:50.840 And I want you to hear this clearly.

01:12:53.000 I don't care if it was the left or the right that is doing what the left is now doing in Minnesota.

01:12:57.140 There are no winners in this path.

01:12:59.040 I'd be giving this exact same monologue if it was a bunch of quote unquote patriots that were doing it.

01:13:04.120 No, you're not.

01:13:05.340 America loses.

01:13:07.140 Every American loses and some will lose everything.

01:13:11.880 And China and Russia and everybody else will watch and they will smile.

01:13:16.780 Why?

01:13:17.220 Because all of that money, all of that business will have to find some other place to invest.

01:13:24.300 It will have to go some other place.

01:13:26.620 Where do you think it's going to go?

01:13:29.460 It's going to go to China.

01:13:32.120 That's why China is pushing civil unrest.

01:13:39.800 Half of what you see is manufactured.

01:13:44.300 And it's either manufactured online or it's manufactured as these, these, these, these, uh, riots.

01:13:52.580 This is not spontaneous.

01:13:53.880 This is all a show it's planned and it's paid for largely in part by China.

01:14:04.200 So we are on this really dangerous ice ice cliff.

01:14:07.960 And that's why gold is at $5,100 because this thing could crumble at any time.

01:14:13.860 Now, what are you going to do about it?

01:14:17.340 What are you going to do about it?

01:14:18.700 I mean, how do you possibly weather a storm like that?

01:14:24.180 Well, there's a few things and I want to get into this.

01:14:26.780 I'll get into it briefly.

01:14:27.960 And if I don't have time to finish it up, I'll, I'll hit on it tomorrow, but universal rules for everybody.

01:14:34.740 That's why I've been saying we got to have equal justice under law, equal justice, universal rules for everybody, the rich and the poor.

01:14:42.740 You also need to build a runway and, you know, they always say have 30 days of cash.

01:14:50.140 That's a lot for most people.

01:14:51.820 You're going to be able to cover all your bills for 30 days.

01:14:54.780 I'm saying, uh, you got to have a runway of cash, you know, some kind of money that will cover not, you know, the, the fantasy life, the fantasy budget, but the stuff that is crucial that you have just crucial.

01:15:07.800 Um, and it should be for months, not weeks, um, kill right now, any kind of fragile debt, variable rate, consumer debt.

01:15:18.100 If you can get out of it, if you can consolidate it into a lower, get out of it right now.

01:15:23.020 Okay.

01:15:24.140 Don't rely on constant credit.

01:15:26.320 If there is any other option, cut, cut, cut, assume that lenders are going to tighten exactly when you need them.

01:15:35.080 So you got a credit card you can count on.

01:15:37.020 You may not be able to count on it soon.

01:15:40.740 Then you also have to have the practical resilience.

01:15:43.660 You need to focus on your skills.

01:15:47.740 What skill do you, I, I hang, I hung some lights this weekend in my house and my wife was like, what are you doing?

01:15:54.180 You're going to electrocute yourself.

01:15:55.540 And I'm like, honey, I know how to hang basic lights for the, I mean, I know how to hang basic lights for the love of Pete.

01:16:02.480 Um, but I have very few skills, real life skills, very few.

01:16:06.360 Cause I've done this my whole life.

01:16:07.500 And I thought, oh, there's always be like this.

01:16:09.700 I gotta be like that.

01:16:10.580 What do I, what skills do I actually have?

01:16:14.420 Strengthen your community ties.

01:16:16.000 Know people build local networks and you know, you need to diversify not ideology, but assets, income streams, uh, skills, anything you can do.

01:16:32.560 So you're not relying on just one thing and stay employable.

01:16:38.900 You know, the next era is going to reward adaptability over titles.

01:16:46.420 Let me take a quick break.

01:16:47.720 And then I think I come down.

01:16:48.580 I'll just break it down into age groups because I think this is really important.

01:16:52.300 What do I do?

01:16:52.960 I'm glad I'm 35.

01:16:54.380 I don't own a house.

01:16:55.260 I don't, whatever.

01:16:56.120 Great.

01:16:56.520 Let me try to explain this to what you need to do to be prepared for this next phase.

01:17:02.640 We'll come back.

01:17:04.540 First, let me tell you about rapid radios.

01:17:06.260 Communication breaks down, you know, sometimes, you know, it's not always dramatic.

01:17:11.160 Most of the time it just shows up as a missed handoff, a delayed update, you know, not being able to reach the right person when timing actually matters.

01:17:18.340 That's frustrating.

01:17:19.220 Um, and rapid radios exist for whichever type of situation you're in or your group finds themselves in could be something that, you know, I don't want to miss any of these calls or whatever.

01:17:29.920 Uh, but it also could be like, help, help, help, help.

01:17:32.800 And they let you talk directly without having to manage a complicated system just to get a message through.

01:17:38.440 Um, you just turn them on, you press a button and you're talking to the person you need to talk to.

01:17:42.500 You're connected for businesses and teams.

01:17:45.040 Simplicity is critical.

01:17:46.560 I can use them out of my ranch.

01:17:49.480 Uh, they're a vital part of the everyday equipment there.

01:17:51.840 When we need to coordinate something quickly, we're moving cattle or, you know, or we're going hiking and we haven't been seen for a while.

01:17:58.420 Hey, is anybody still alive out there?

01:18:00.580 We know.

01:18:01.580 Difference between staying on track and losing time.

01:18:04.720 Rapid radios.

01:18:05.780 They are offering now a 60% discount for business owners.

01:18:09.580 Makes them a practical tool, not just backup.

01:18:12.040 They're offering a discount of up to 60% for businesses right now.

01:18:15.940 It's rapid radios.com rapid radios.com.

01:18:19.240 Secure your exclusive savings and elevate your business communication with rapid radios.com rapid radios communication redefined.

01:18:27.820 You're going to have to hold that thought.

01:18:29.560 My friend, we got a schedule to keep back.

01:18:33.880 We'll be back.

01:18:35.000 Most people don't realize how much of their day is spent negotiating with food.

01:18:52.440 What won't spike blood sugar, what won't actually, you know, hold you over, what won't leave you foggy an hour later, and what won't take an energy crash to ruin your entire day that you have to power through.

01:19:05.980 By the time that you've solved all of these puzzles, you're already tired.

01:19:10.940 Health code was built to remove the constant friction.

01:19:14.280 Instead of meals that send your metabolism on a roller coaster, it's designed to support steadiness from the first sip.

01:19:21.080 When blood sugar stays stable, your energy feels more reliable.

01:19:26.440 Hunger shows up when it's supposed to, and your body isn't spending the day correcting what you just ate.

01:19:32.680 That philosophy comes from the research of Dr. Ben Bickman.

01:19:35.960 His work on metabolism is, you know, pretty well known.

01:19:40.420 And the goal isn't, you know, restriction or dieting.

01:19:43.560 It's giving your system the right structure so it can work the way it's meant to.

01:19:48.200 Health code is nutritionally complete.

01:19:49.940 It's a meal shake.

01:19:50.940 It's built around those principles.

01:19:52.740 It emphasizes protein and healthy fats.

01:19:55.340 It keeps carbs low.

01:19:57.100 It avoids added sugar and supports metabolic gut and brain health all at the same time.

01:20:02.120 So food stops becoming something that you have to manage all day and starts being something that you quietly supports everything else you're trying to do.

01:20:09.640 Go to shakesavings.com.

01:20:11.000 You can save now on these shakes.

01:20:12.380 It's shakesavings.com.

01:20:40.380 Hopefully later today I'll have this out as an article at glenbeck.com.

01:20:58.920 But let me tell you, we've been talking about the economy and what's coming and why gold is so high, what all of that means.

01:21:06.900 And I want to tell you how to prepare.

01:21:08.660 And I want to get a little age-specific here.

01:21:10.300 If you're between 15 and 25, you need the portable life plan.

01:21:15.940 And I think you're in the best place.

01:21:18.600 Because you are now in the decade where you become hard to really destroy.

01:21:22.580 If you know what to do.

01:21:26.260 First, what to study.

01:21:28.560 Anything.

01:21:29.460 Anything that builds real-world capability and stays valuable in any economy.

01:21:34.420 I can guarantee you, gay and lesbian studies is not going to be of any value to anybody when things get tough.

01:21:42.320 That's a total waste of time and money.

01:21:45.080 Find things that are real-world.

01:21:48.040 Engineering, skilled trades, software maybe, energy and power systems, any trade.

01:22:02.340 Medical is going to be big.

01:22:05.100 Nursing, paramedic, imaging tech.

01:22:07.660 Those things are still going to be big for a long time.

01:22:11.260 Logistics, supply chain, accounting.

01:22:14.140 I mean, still going to need some accounting, but I would stay away.

01:22:18.720 I would really look at where is the world headed.

01:22:23.660 The main thing you have to know is you have to add one anchor skill to one economic leverage skill.

01:22:31.040 And here's what I mean by that.

01:22:32.820 An anchor skill is a trade or a credential that will pay anywhere.

01:22:36.560 Leverage is something scalable.

01:22:40.480 Design, sales, content, entrepreneurship.

01:22:46.320 When you add one, you have to add the other.

01:22:49.220 And keep adding them as you go along.

01:22:51.200 Because you're going to need lots of skills in the future.

01:22:54.240 But you're young.

01:22:54.960 You still know how to figure out a remote control.

01:22:56.940 When you get to be my age, you can't figure out the remote control anymore.

01:22:59.720 You're still pliable.

01:23:00.900 So learn as much as you possibly can.

01:23:04.200 Going to college, look, it's not a religion.

01:23:06.700 It's really a math problem.

01:23:08.340 I mean, I would not go.

01:23:09.960 I mean, unless you want to be a doctor or something that directly has to have a college degree.

01:23:16.300 But do not go if you're trying to find yourself or you really don't know.

01:23:19.560 Don't.

01:23:19.840 Don't spend that money.

01:23:21.180 Don't.

01:23:21.740 Find an internship or an apprenticeship.

01:23:24.600 Get into those things early.

01:23:26.260 Okay?

01:23:27.060 Especially if you have to borrow a lot of money.

01:23:29.440 Don't do it.

01:23:31.680 20 to 40, you're kind of in this moat decade.

01:23:35.820 And this is a frustrating decade.

01:23:37.240 This was my most frustrating decade, 20 to 40.

01:23:40.880 Because this is when you're building things that keep the storms out.

01:23:45.080 This is when you're working your hardest.

01:23:47.920 And you're like, I'm not making any progress.

01:23:51.080 It will.

01:23:51.440 It will catch up to you.

01:23:52.640 It will.

01:23:53.580 But you have to become the person that can solve ugly problems.

01:23:56.800 And you have to stack skills as well.

01:23:58.920 Management, technical, sales, product, ops, finance, all of that stuff.

01:24:03.300 You need a side income stream that can grow.

01:24:06.520 If you want to buy a house, I guess you buy a house.

01:24:09.220 But please don't get cash poor on that.

01:24:11.460 Don't buy a house because you should own a house by this time.

01:24:15.060 If it's right for you, it's right for you.

01:24:16.760 If it makes sense financially.

01:24:18.520 But understand, small, small, small, small, avoid becoming house poor.

01:24:24.800 And you want flexibility over status.

01:24:29.800 You need affordability with your family.

01:24:35.480 You need lower fixed expenses.

01:24:37.820 And you need to build community ties.

01:24:40.300 That is the best insurance you can buy.

01:24:43.300 People you can trust and count on.

01:24:47.580 Okay, you're over 50.

01:24:49.260 You're in the fortify and simplify plan.

01:24:53.760 This is not about preserving freedom and not about any more chasing maximum return.

01:24:58.760 Don't do it.

01:25:00.580 Reduce all of your exposures.

01:25:03.840 Be really, really careful.

01:25:05.380 De-risk your life at this point.

01:25:07.760 Fewer big monthly obligations.

01:25:10.320 Retirement, unfortunately, you're going to have to assume volatility and plan for it.

01:25:15.160 Focus on things that are durable.

01:25:19.320 Keep a sleep at night allocation.

01:25:23.100 Because emotional stability is a financial asset here.

01:25:27.540 And the biggest thing you can do is transfer skills.

01:25:31.080 Teach younger family members the skills and the financial basics that you have learned that they don't have.

01:25:37.340 And then you've got to do your, you know, wills and all of that stuff.

01:25:42.620 Look, we'll put this out at glenbeck.com so you can look at it.

01:25:46.900 And I don't know how helpful it is to you.

01:25:49.000 I'm not a financial planner, so don't listen to me on that.

01:25:53.500 But I am telling you that trouble is coming and you have to, you have to mentally shift into that gear now.

01:26:00.340 I mean, one of the reasons why, to be really honest with you, one of the reasons why I'm doing The Torch and glenbeck.com, I know you're going to have to choose.

01:26:09.820 I know you're going to have to choose, you know, Netflix or whatever over me because it's going to get there.

01:26:14.960 But I wanted to do things on this that will have lasting value to your life to make us a little, you know, inflation-proof a little bit to be able to make sure that we are providing exactly what you need when things get tough.

01:26:36.060 Things are going to get tough.

01:26:37.960 Prepare for it.

01:26:38.700 Let me tell you about Burn-A Launcher.

01:26:44.460 There is a difference between feeling safe and being prepared.

01:26:47.480 Feeling safe is what you have when nothing's happening.

01:26:49.840 Prepared is what you have when something does.

01:26:52.620 Burn-A Compact Launcher, built for that second category.

01:26:55.480 It's a non-lethal personal defense tool designed to give you options in moments where you need distance and time and a way out without escalating the situation further than it needs to go.

01:27:04.180 The Compact Launcher is small, lightweight, and easy to carry, which is the entire point.

01:27:09.420 It's a tool that stays at home, and that doesn't help you when you're on the road.

01:27:14.520 This is not a tool.

01:27:15.500 This one fits into real life so you can actually be there when it matters.

01:27:18.980 And because it's non-lethal, legal in all 50 states, it doesn't require a permit.

01:27:23.180 There's no paperwork and no second-guessing.

01:27:25.360 You don't have to overcomplicate it.

01:27:26.860 You just have to have it with you.

01:27:28.660 This is not about living in fear or expecting trouble.

01:27:30.800 It's about closing the gap between bad moment and a safe exit.

01:27:34.580 This is a tool that can help you do that.

01:27:36.220 I want you to go to burnabyrna.com slash Glenn.

01:27:39.240 Learn more about it.

01:27:40.680 I carry one.

01:27:41.320 My kids all have one.

01:27:42.420 My wife has one in her purse and a glove box.

01:27:44.780 We are prepared, and we don't want to take somebody's life unless we absolutely have to.

01:27:50.180 But this is the first line of defense.

01:27:52.440 Stop them in their tracks.

01:28:31.740 Glenn Beck is on.

01:28:37.200 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

01:28:39.740 Na-na-na-na-na-na.

01:28:43.740 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

01:28:51.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:55.180 Glenn Beck is on.

01:28:57.200 Hello, America.

01:28:58.700 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:59.880 There are a lot of things going on.

01:29:02.660 I want to take you back this weekend to the really big story out of Minnesota, and that

01:29:11.300 is the shooting.

01:29:13.560 And there is, as always, as always, whom do you trust?

01:29:17.980 I want to take you through the video and tell you my opinion on this, and it is just that,

01:29:23.980 an opinion, because it's causing a lot of controversy.

01:29:27.980 They shoot him in, you know, cold blood.

01:29:30.360 They have no credibility on this.

01:29:32.800 They say that about absolutely everything.

01:29:34.660 I mean, if you'd listen to them, you know, Al Capone was shot down in cold blood, too.

01:29:41.180 But you have that.

01:29:44.000 And then you have some people on the right saying you shouldn't be carrying a gun.

01:29:48.820 Well, now, wait a minute.

01:29:51.800 I believe in the Second Amendment.

01:29:54.280 However, there are certain things that go along with the Second Amendment that we should discuss.

01:29:58.440 We'll do that here in 60 seconds.

01:30:00.240 First, let me tell you about American financing.

01:30:01.840 Most people track their budget month to month, but very few ever step back and look at the

01:30:05.820 structure underneath it all.

01:30:07.680 Really peel back all the layers.

01:30:09.520 I mean, there are there are loan terms, the interest, the single decision that you might

01:30:14.920 have made, you know, years ago.

01:30:16.480 It still can shape every paycheck today.

01:30:19.000 And that's where American financing comes in.

01:30:20.760 Their entire approach is built around helping people understand the math of their own finances,

01:30:25.360 not rushing them into something new, but making sure that what they have still makes sense.

01:30:29.800 And for a lot of homeowners, that conversation opens up options that they really didn't even

01:30:35.460 know they were there.

01:30:36.220 Options that can mean more flexibility, more stability, more control over how much money

01:30:41.180 moves through your household every month.

01:30:43.260 It's not about quick fixes or shortcuts.

01:30:45.080 It's about aligning your financial structure with real life.

01:30:48.660 So your money is working for you instead of quietly working against you.

01:30:52.460 When the foundation is solid, everything built on top of it feels a lot more steady.

01:30:56.940 There are no upfront fees.

01:30:58.620 You just find out if you're qualified.

01:31:00.580 Call American financing now, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

01:31:19.700 All right.

01:31:20.360 I want to take you through some of the stuff that happened up in Minnesota before I get to

01:31:28.700 this video of Alex Preddy and him being shot.

01:31:35.400 So let me, first of all, I played this earlier.

01:31:39.580 Let me just play just a little bit.

01:31:41.420 This is a woman who was somehow or another on an ICE database on the left.

01:31:45.700 And to show you how well-coordinated this is, there's this database and this woman and her

01:31:51.700 husband, she's a journalist.

01:31:53.420 She was being followed by this, these ICE protesters because she was on a database and they thought

01:32:00.520 she was ICE.

01:32:01.540 And every time she would stop someplace, they would start to gather around and go, you're

01:32:04.800 ICE, you're ICE, get out.

01:32:05.760 How shame on you, all this stuff.

01:32:07.380 Well, she eventually pulls over and she's like, we're not ICE.

01:32:10.280 Okay.

01:32:10.520 We're not ICE.

01:32:11.680 We have nothing to do with ICE.

01:32:13.000 I just want to play a little bit of this because I want to show you how dangerous this situation

01:32:16.460 is becoming.

01:32:17.140 Cut three.

01:32:20.340 So she's pulled over and she is now being honked at by one of the cars.

01:32:30.800 We aren't ICE.

01:32:32.180 And they're looking for off.

01:32:34.180 We're not ICE.

01:32:36.080 We're not ICE.

01:32:38.040 I'm showing my face.

01:32:39.200 So she's coming out.

01:32:40.680 We're not ICE.

01:32:41.440 They've been following us for over an hour.

01:32:44.360 We're not ICE.

01:32:45.900 Now the whistles start.

01:32:47.180 And if you're watching the video, you will see all of these people start just to descend

01:32:52.060 around her car.

01:32:53.540 Right.

01:32:54.420 And nothing.

01:32:57.160 Nothing she says.

01:32:58.780 She's been reasonable.

01:32:59.720 Nothing she says is going to satisfy this mob.

01:33:02.420 We're not ICE.

01:33:02.900 Give to the people that you're abducted.

01:33:04.160 Get out.

01:33:05.480 Please go.

01:33:06.040 Because they've been following us for over an hour.

01:33:09.840 We didn't even know they were following us until we came up and told you to spend following

01:33:12.820 you.

01:33:12.900 What do you guys do?

01:33:13.360 Well, they're following you because you're ICE.

01:33:15.040 I mean, it's just ridiculous.

01:33:16.100 Okay, stop.

01:33:17.200 So what else happened this weekend?

01:33:20.900 Well, I showed you earlier a video of a self-proclaimed Antifa member saying, get your guns.

01:33:27.220 You got to stop these people.

01:33:28.360 Now is the time for violence.

01:33:29.860 Um, and you have an ICE agent who had his finger bit off.

01:33:36.160 We have that full screen and put that up.

01:33:39.400 Here's the ICE agent and protesters grabbed him and bit his finger off.

01:33:44.340 I mean, that's, uh, I don't know.

01:33:46.040 That's a little insane.

01:33:48.840 Uh, then you have this, uh, let me play the, the, um, geez, the ICE agent who's bloodied

01:33:57.060 in front of a hotel because they thought there were ICE agents in the hotel.

01:34:00.240 Turns out there were no ICE agents in the hotel.

01:34:03.480 Um, but you can see one of the, uh, there they are this hotel.

01:34:11.920 And then you're seeing that the one ICE agent with a bloody nose, blood all over his mask,

01:34:19.260 down his shirt and onto his hands.

01:34:21.100 Don't know how he got bloodied, but I'm, I'm guessing it wasn't that he fell and, you

01:34:25.420 know, had a boo-boo.

01:34:27.440 So you have all of this stuff happening.

01:34:29.680 And we now know this weekend it's been confirmed.

01:34:32.300 It is being coordinated on signal.

01:34:35.960 Very, very dangerous.

01:34:38.040 Now let me take it from the other side.

01:34:42.480 Alex Preddy is this guy who shows up.

01:34:44.900 He's part of the protests and he's got the whistle and he's obnoxious and everything else.

01:34:49.120 And he is starting to go after ICE agents and really get into their face.

01:34:54.040 They push him back.

01:34:55.280 He pushes back, push him harder.

01:34:57.600 And it just gets into, honestly, it's like a little seventh grade pushing match at first.

01:35:01.960 It's just so stupid that any of this happened.

01:35:05.040 Well, he gets shot play a cut nine here.

01:35:08.380 This is the, uh, ice shooting video from Alex.

01:35:11.120 Alex Preddy.

01:35:14.720 And there's his whistle.

01:35:16.240 And then, oh, that's so great.

01:35:21.780 Okay.

01:35:22.460 Now you're going to see him.

01:35:29.240 Go.

01:35:29.680 All these people, all they're doing is just trying to, you know, stop ICE from doing their job.

01:35:44.860 And, uh, the ICE agent pulls out a gun and shoots, uh, Alex as he's laying down on the ground.

01:35:53.060 Here he comes.

01:35:53.980 They're, they're pushing him.

01:35:55.820 They grab him.

01:35:56.860 They put him down on the ground and there's a bunch of them.

01:35:59.800 What the f*** is wrong with you?

01:36:02.660 Honestly.

01:36:07.620 Now listen, because you'll hear one of the cops say, gun, gun, gun.

01:36:15.180 Then you hear the shots.

01:36:16.580 Okay.

01:36:16.860 And they shoot him.

01:36:19.320 Okay.

01:36:20.080 Let me take this from the BBC perspective.

01:36:22.580 Cause they show the other side of this crowd, uh, from a different perspective.

01:36:27.500 And I think this is important.

01:36:28.860 Here's the BBC's perspective, uh, on what happened.

01:36:32.620 Go ahead and roll that.

01:36:33.720 Rose Atkins' report contains footage, which again, you may find distressing.

01:36:39.620 The first video we have of Alex Pretty.

01:36:41.700 He's in the road, holding a phone and talking with a federal agent.

01:36:45.920 The officer pushes him and he steps backwards.

01:36:48.900 Christy Noem is U.S. Homeland Security Secretary.

01:36:51.280 This is her account of why Alex Pretty died.

01:36:54.200 An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a nine millimeter semi-automatic handgun.

01:37:00.400 The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently.

01:37:06.260 But in this video, as in others, Alex Pretty had nothing in one hand, a phone in the other.

01:37:12.480 We see two people interacting with an agent.

01:37:15.380 We then see an agent push one of those people.

01:37:17.580 Then push the second person.

01:37:20.800 Alex Pretty steps between them and the agent and is pepper sprayed.

01:37:24.920 He's wrestled to the ground by a number of agents.

01:37:27.400 He's on his knees, bent over.

01:37:29.140 His hands are on the floor and he's struggling against being held down.

01:37:32.960 One agent repeatedly strikes in the direction of his head.

01:37:35.940 And take note of this agent.

01:37:37.620 He has nothing in his right hand, reaches down and removes what appears to be a gun from Alex Pretty's waistband.

01:37:43.860 Then he steps back, holding the pistol, which appears to match this image shared by the authorities.

01:37:50.100 Carrying this type of gun is legal in Minnesota with a valid permit.

01:37:54.020 The police say they believe Alex Pretty had one.

01:37:56.480 Less than a second after the gun is removed, an agent fires the first shot.

01:38:02.240 As Alex Pretty lies motionless, further shots are fired while agents are standing clear.

01:38:07.160 So this is compelling video because what this BBC reporter is saying is true.

01:38:14.940 It's absolutely true.

01:38:16.880 He is getting in between him, the police, and somebody else.

01:38:22.020 The police are shoving.

01:38:23.400 He is only holding a phone.

01:38:25.520 He is down on the ground.

01:38:27.040 He is resisting arrest.

01:38:28.600 But his hands are down on the ground.

01:38:30.340 His head is down on the ground.

01:38:31.680 Then another agent reaches over on top of the other agents who are closest to him on the ground, reaches into his back where he sees an exposed gun, pulls the gun out, and then walks away with the gun.

01:38:44.940 So he's no longer armed unless he has two guns, and they don't claim that he had two guns, only one.

01:38:50.300 And pulls it out and walks away.

01:38:52.740 Right after that, somebody yells, gun, gun, gun, gun.

01:38:57.940 That's when the police officer fires at him.

01:39:00.260 Now, the other police officer did not know that somebody reached in and took his gun.

01:39:06.160 It might have been somebody who was saying gun, might have been saying it because they saw the other guy, because he's not marked as a federal agent, the other guy pulled the gun out and walking there with a gun.

01:39:18.360 So somebody might have seen him with a gun and said, gun, gun, gun.

01:39:22.020 All the cops think that it's pretty, and they shoot him.

01:39:26.320 Okay, this is not something that you deal with as an eight-year-old.

01:39:35.000 This is a conversation for adults to have, and I'm not hearing the adults.

01:39:40.560 First of all, what Noam said is not true.

01:39:44.460 He didn't approach.

01:39:45.800 If you want to say technically he approached carrying a nine millimeter, he did, but it was holstered and in his back.

01:39:53.100 And you have a right to carry a gun at a protest.

01:39:56.180 I don't think that makes you smart, but it does, it is perfectly legal and constitutionally protected.

01:40:03.780 So I'm sorry, just because you have a gun in your back, if you reach for the gun, if you pull for the gun, then you could probably be expected to be shot if you are pushing the police around.

01:40:17.480 But if you have a gun and you don't have your hands on it, you should not be shot.

01:40:22.580 You have a right to carry that gun peacefully.

01:40:25.540 Okay.

01:40:26.840 The minute you start pointing it at people, you're in trouble.

01:40:29.940 He did not.

01:40:31.220 He did not.

01:40:34.140 So this idea that, you know, he was foolish for walking into, you know, this protest with a gun.

01:40:41.920 Well, you have a right to carry it.

01:40:47.060 And quite honestly, if I'm walking into places like that and I'm not going to get involved, I probably do carry my gun.

01:40:54.180 If I'm going to get involved, I think of the consequences and think, boy, that's, that's probably going to get me killed unless I'm planning on killing somebody.

01:41:01.480 Assuming I'm going to get involved, there's the way I would think would be, I'm not carrying my gun because that could get me killed.

01:41:10.820 Okay.

01:41:11.220 Because I don't, I'm not going to, when I'm in a, when I'm in a dangerous situation, it's not going to be with the other Antifa people.

01:41:18.120 I'd be in a dangerous situation because of the police.

01:41:20.780 And I make my decision right then and there.

01:41:23.220 Am I willing to pull the gun on the police?

01:41:25.060 No, I'm not.

01:41:26.660 So leave the gun at home.

01:41:28.260 But he has a right to do it and he has a right to carry it and even be in a confrontation with the police as long as he never reaches for it.

01:41:37.900 But this is where I go to the cop side.

01:41:41.100 You're in a chaotic situation.

01:41:43.480 This is why I would not carry a gun in a situation like this because you're in a chaotic situation.

01:41:49.560 Nobody really knows what's going on.

01:41:51.940 You have a group of people who have been all day been told, we're going to kill you.

01:41:56.780 We're going to kill you.

01:41:57.500 Your life means nothing.

01:41:58.920 Get out of our city, whatever.

01:42:00.760 And they're, they're violent towards you.

01:42:04.060 When they are, when you are coming, uh, at them and they are pushing you down to the ground, get down on the ground, get down on the ground.

01:42:12.520 Stop resisting.

01:42:13.500 See, this is not Martin Luther King.

01:42:15.260 That that's what, that's what the left has forgotten.

01:42:18.340 They're trying to make this as moral as Martin Luther King, but they can't do it, um, because it's not as moral as Martin Luther King.

01:42:26.600 Um, and it's none of the tactics of King King knew.

01:42:30.280 The only way to win is to go peaceful, nonviolent, always King would have let that guy rot in prison and wouldn't have marched for that guy because he had a gun.

01:42:42.860 Because he made the rest of the movement look dangerous.

01:42:47.040 Even though he had a right to have a gun, Martin Luther King said, would have said, you don't bring a gun.

01:42:53.580 You don't push back.

01:42:57.420 You don't do it because that's the way peaceful protests win.

01:43:02.900 And everybody who knows anything about protesting knows this.

01:43:06.280 The left, they've been preaching Martin Luther King forever.

01:43:10.180 They know this.

01:43:11.160 This is not the tactic of Martin Luther King.

01:43:13.920 This is the tactic that escalates, not deescalates things.

01:43:18.640 So where do I stand on the gun thing?

01:43:26.320 I don't know what Alex, I don't know anything about him.

01:43:29.220 So I don't know what his intention was.

01:43:31.640 I can look at the video and say his attention, his intention was to protest, was to be obnoxious, uh, was to be one of those people that were right up there, but not necessarily up in the face of the cops until he sees cops starting to push people around.

01:43:46.280 And then he decides I'm going to get between them and whoever it was they were pushing.

01:43:50.820 He doesn't like that.

01:43:51.760 So he gets involved.

01:43:52.940 The minute he gets involved, the roles change.

01:43:56.320 He is now somebody that cops in this situation could and should look at as a danger to themselves.

01:44:04.480 So he made that choice.

01:44:06.280 I don't know if that was a choice that he made when he got up in the morning.

01:44:09.360 I don't know what his intentions were.

01:44:10.940 But, uh, once he made that choice, he's going to end up on the ground because it's such a chaotic situation.

01:44:20.260 I have to side with both him for carrying a gun and being there and seemingly from only footage that I've seen seemingly not being a real violent guy, but being a dirt bag.

01:44:34.920 But you have a right to be a dirt bag, being a dirt bag, but not a violent guy.

01:44:39.060 I side with him, but I also side with the cop that shot him because it's a chaotic situation.

01:44:48.160 Somebody pulls his gun.

01:44:49.940 A cop pulls his gun.

01:44:52.000 Somebody else then yells gun, gun, gun.

01:44:55.360 What do you expect the cops to do?

01:44:57.880 You've created this situation.

01:45:01.060 That's why this didn't happen with Martin Luther King protests because they didn't create this situation.

01:45:09.940 Unfortunately, I think more of this is going to happen, but we have to be very careful with our words and speak the truth at all times.

01:45:17.260 Even if it hurts our side, that guy, I don't think he should have been shot, but I also don't think they should prosecute these guys because it's a chaotic situation.

01:45:27.880 What would you do in that situation?

01:45:30.620 It's just a really nasty, bad situation.

01:45:34.700 And more of those are going to happen if this doesn't stop.

01:45:38.140 It requires leadership.

01:45:41.420 Back in just a second with more.

01:45:42.860 First, let me tell you about SimpliSafe.

01:46:50.100 That's SimpliSafe.com slash Beck.

01:46:52.080 There is no safe like SimpliSafe.

01:46:54.780 10 seconds.

01:46:55.280 Station ID.

01:46:55.680 Yeah, we're talking about the first amendment number one.

01:47:01.460 The founders wrote it down so freedom wouldn't come undone.

01:47:07.080 It's not just history.

01:47:08.900 It's something that we use.

01:47:13.340 So let's count the five big freedoms we're allowed to choose.

01:47:18.600 So turn it up, say it loud.

01:47:20.440 These are rights we should be proud of now.

01:47:26.740 Freedom of religion.

01:47:28.420 I can choose what I believe.

01:47:30.140 Get on my speech.

01:47:31.060 Say my thoughts honestly.

01:47:32.620 Take on the press.

01:47:33.840 Print the truth.

01:47:34.880 Let it flow.

01:47:35.820 Assemble.

01:47:36.680 Meet in peace.

01:47:37.700 Let them know.

01:47:38.500 And petition.

01:47:39.460 Yeah, we get to disagree.

01:47:41.260 Ask the government to change things.

01:47:43.000 That's democracy.

01:47:44.020 That's five in the first.

01:47:45.360 Five in the first.

01:47:46.880 Those first five rights in the first amendment.

01:47:51.480 First five in the first.

01:47:53.740 That gives you the answer of what could happen on the streets.

01:47:57.100 That gives you everything you need to know on who's right and who's wrong.

01:48:01.600 Okay?

01:48:01.760 These people have a right to protest.

01:48:04.100 They do.

01:48:05.040 They don't have a right to be violent in their protest.

01:48:08.260 They don't have a right to target people in their protest.

01:48:12.980 They have a right to question the government.

01:48:15.280 They should question the government.

01:48:17.320 What are you doing?

01:48:18.440 Do you have warrants for this?

01:48:19.640 Where are your warrants?

01:48:20.460 You have a right to ask for those things.

01:48:22.820 But again, peacefully, that's not what's happening.

01:48:28.180 So this is the part that everybody is getting confused on.

01:48:32.220 I have a right.

01:48:33.420 Yes, you do have a right.

01:48:35.320 And I support you doing all of those things, just not the way you are doing them.

01:48:41.240 You have a responsibility to society to do it the right way.

01:48:45.940 The reason why Martin Luther King did the protest the way he did is he believed in the system.

01:48:53.280 He believed we can make the system better.

01:48:56.680 These people don't believe in the system.

01:48:59.160 They want to destroy the system.

01:49:01.400 The whole thing has to come down.

01:49:03.420 And so chaos and killing and riots, it works to their advantage.

01:49:11.300 And unfortunately, that is why it's going to put our federal government into a position

01:49:16.300 that they're actually going to love because they're going to turn it into fascism.

01:49:21.360 But, you know, the Insurrection Act is going to have to be called out.

01:49:25.240 It has to.

01:49:26.880 This has to stop.

01:49:28.580 It has to stop.

01:49:33.420 All right, let me talk to you about your dog.

01:49:40.960 A lot of people assume that if your dog is eating every day, you know, it must be getting

01:49:44.560 everything they need.

01:49:45.360 And then they go out and they eat grass and you're like, you know, that doesn't seem right.

01:49:49.520 You know, most of the food that we feed our dogs are heavily processed.

01:49:53.800 And you know what they're saying about our processed food.

01:49:55.440 In that process, a lot of nutrition is gone.

01:49:59.040 The dogs actually need all of it.

01:50:00.660 It's all cooked out.

01:50:02.020 That can cause lower energy, digestive issues, dog that just isn't firing on all cylinders

01:50:08.160 anymore.

01:50:08.520 And we just look at it.

01:50:09.460 Well, he's getting older.

01:50:10.560 Well, no, he shouldn't be behaving like that.

01:50:12.980 And I learned that with Uno.

01:50:13.980 We started feeding Uno Rough Greens, giving him Rough Greens on his food.

01:50:20.600 He was probably eight, maybe nine.

01:50:22.320 And we thought, ah, he's slowing down.

01:50:24.060 And then he started getting all of this nutrition from Rough Greens and eating all the time and

01:50:29.540 running to his bowl.

01:50:30.680 And we thought, my gosh, look at him because he became like a puppy again.

01:50:34.740 See the difference.

01:51:50.620 We're five days away from the fundamental transformation of this program.

01:51:54.380 Stu is leaving us.

01:51:57.600 He has been, honestly, he's been looking to leave since the day he got here 30 years ago.

01:52:04.240 And, and is leaving now to start his, his own thing.

01:52:10.760 And he's going to announce that later this week.

01:52:14.080 And welcome to the program, Stu.

01:52:15.940 Thanks, Glenn.

01:52:17.500 Yeah, and I appreciate everyone who's been asking.

01:52:19.280 It's, you know, there's been some, we have to just wait until later in the week, but we will get you all the details coming up very soon.

01:52:25.940 It's been tough to not be able to interact with, with you, Glenn, here today, here with only a few more shows left.

01:52:31.800 But forces of nature have kept us away.

01:52:35.940 And then, of course, the technical demons that always pop up in these situations.

01:52:38.980 I did want to run one thing by you, though, listening to all your commentary, and it was kind of helpful to sit here and just be able to listen to what you were saying.

01:52:46.600 And one of the things that was interesting about this whole shooting situation is a dynamic that I noticed as I was thinking about all of the stories that have hit lately.

01:52:57.380 One of which being the shooting of Pretty, which you've, you've seen the reaction to that.

01:53:02.440 You had the shooting of Good before that.

01:53:05.180 And you have the five-year-old kid who was kidnapped by ICE being the three major headlines.

01:53:16.060 And what's interesting about all of that is I think you go and, you know, I listened to your commentary on Pretty, which is like, you know, this shooting shouldn't have happened.

01:53:23.580 But, you know, there's understandable, you know, reasons why people were on edge, and there's confusion in that moment.

01:53:30.780 And the Good shooting was, you know, sort of similar to that, but different, right?

01:53:35.840 Like, she really did take some action that could have very easily been translated as some aggressive action.

01:53:44.580 And while it was a tragic shooting, you know, it was something that was more understandable and maybe have fewer questions than the Pretty situation.

01:53:53.720 And then you have the five-year-old kidnapped by ICE, which we now know was not at all true.

01:53:58.640 It was not the situation at all.

01:54:00.580 The illegal immigrant parent ran away, and they were actually caring for the kid.

01:54:04.380 And you can see three different reactions from, I think, every conservative that I've listened to.

01:54:08.880 They've had different reactions to those different stories based on different facts in a different situation.

01:54:13.380 I have heard no difference from the left in their reaction to those three stories.

01:54:20.760 And, you know, it's fascinating.

01:54:22.080 They just continually react the exact same way.

01:54:26.860 It's Nazis.

01:54:27.800 It's, you know, it's Gestapo.

01:54:30.700 It's all of these terrible things.

01:54:32.860 And it's murder in every one of the cases or kidnapping are the worst possible thing.

01:54:37.300 And we have to react with force, get out in the streets, the walls of the world making everything worse, the Jacob Fries of the world making everything worse.

01:54:46.600 And, like, I see all that reaction from our side being very nuanced and trying to understand the situation, the opposite for them.

01:54:53.820 And then I throw in a fourth story, which was a man arrested in Georgia for raping an 11-year-old girl.

01:55:03.020 And, you know what, I see no reaction from them at all on that story.

01:55:10.300 It's impossible to take their analysis of the situation seriously because they're not analyzing it, Glenn.

01:55:15.940 They're trying to cause chaos.

01:55:18.140 So last week, you weren't here.

01:55:19.920 You were on vacation last week.

01:55:22.220 And one of the things that we talked about was you have to take things and separate them case by case.

01:55:30.880 Two things can be true at the same time.

01:55:33.020 You know, uh, and, and you're exactly right.

01:55:36.260 This is, they are not, it's the same reaction every time.

01:55:40.920 So that should tell you something.

01:55:42.880 If somebody is reacting the same way, even though the facts are different, but they're reacting the same way, they're telling you something.

01:55:50.700 They're telling you that the facts don't matter.

01:55:54.500 That, uh, what, what they are saying has to be done is the only point.

01:56:02.660 Whatever happens on the ground is either inconvenient or convenient, but it doesn't matter.

01:56:08.400 And that, that, that gets a civilization to shut down.

01:56:12.860 You know, there's no, there's no future in that kind of, uh, in that kind of, uh, thinking.

01:56:18.200 So what do you do, Glenn?

01:56:20.900 Because I, I see the reaction to this stuff, uh, and I see a lot of people talking about it on the right and saying, you know, basically acknowledging what I'm saying is true, right?

01:56:30.920 Like there's, there are a bunch of people on the right, I think, trying to determine these situations individually and the people on the left don't care.

01:56:37.740 They're out there for a greater mission, right?

01:56:39.880 If you will, they want a fundamental change of our society.

01:56:43.160 They want all of the, they want our system to be upended and that is their goal.

01:56:48.360 And so I, I can, you know, my reaction to that is we still have to do, we have to be ourselves.

01:56:55.240 We can't be them.

01:56:56.420 We can't do what they do.

01:56:57.980 I don't want to be them.

01:56:59.020 I don't want to do what they do.

01:57:00.920 Uh, but I mean, I do see the reaction and I, you know, there's some, I think, sense to it, which is if you don't, uh, if you, if you hold back, if you, if you don't change your tactics, we're going to wind up with the same situation and the same result.

01:57:16.340 And we're going to keep moving down this terrible road because we sit here on principle and they sit here and, and they just keep doing what they're, what they need to do to move the ball forward without care for that stuff.

01:57:26.980 It's inconvenient for them and they don't care about it.

01:57:30.020 Should we continue to care about it or should, do we need to change our tactics and realize some new world is here?

01:57:36.160 So, um, I repeat what I kind of said in the monologue and hour number one today, we have to be surgical.

01:57:43.080 The, the administration has to be surgical in its language.

01:57:46.300 Um, you can't, you can't, you cannot discredit yourself by saying he came at them with a nine millimeter gun.

01:57:53.640 And if that was your understanding at first, and then you see the evidence, you have to immediately come out and say, we correct that.

01:58:00.340 Um, you have to guard your credibility at all costs.

01:58:03.960 You have to be telling the truth.

01:58:05.600 Um, I think the administration also should be saying, look, if these facts are different, call our DOJ.

01:58:12.800 Here's a special hotline number.

01:58:14.800 Um, but if they overwhelm that with a bunch of stuff, if they're just putting that number out and they're having thousands of people call, well, then you can also then go on and say, well, we tried.

01:58:23.580 We tried, but they had, we've had a million calls and we know there's not a million charges.

01:58:28.780 So, um, you know, nobody is serious on that side, but we tried and we'll continue to do it.

01:58:33.920 We're just not looking at you as serious partners, but we'll continue to do it.

01:58:37.800 If there is a problem with ice, um, we will make sure that that is corrected.

01:58:42.700 These guys are under so much pressure right now, but they cannot get angry.

01:58:48.000 They have to be the best of us.

01:58:49.800 And this is really hard.

01:58:51.060 They have to be the best of us.

01:58:52.200 They can't be shooting off their mouth or, you know, pushing.

01:58:55.560 And that is really super hard.

01:58:58.020 I don't know how they're going to do it.

01:58:59.280 You've had too many people involved.

01:59:01.080 Accidents are going to happen.

01:59:02.420 Human conditions are going to be applied at some point.

01:59:05.080 And so that's a, that's a real issue.

01:59:07.440 Um, but we have to be super solid on the facts.

01:59:11.060 I think we are presented at this time with, uh, an opportunity to talk to those people who are not dieharders.

01:59:20.480 They're not the ones who are like, he's a Nazi and ISIS done everything wrong.

01:59:25.380 Just say, you just come to him and say, look, I hate all of this.

01:59:31.500 I hate all of this.

01:59:32.420 I don't want to be enemies.

01:59:33.600 And I, I agree with you.

01:59:35.100 You know, people saying that he shouldn't have brought a gun.

01:59:36.740 I think he has a right to carry a gun.

01:59:38.820 You know, that's, that's a constitutional right and he shouldn't have been shot.

01:59:43.000 However, can you go with me and look the other side?

01:59:47.080 You, can you at least see the point of view?

01:59:50.700 I'm not saying that you say that it's right, but can you see the reasonable point of view that that's a chaotic situation?

01:59:57.880 Somebody yells gun and the police shoot because they're all so high strung.

02:00:03.420 Yes.

02:00:04.080 Well, they got to be better than that.

02:00:05.720 I agree that they should try to be better than that, but would you be better than that?

02:00:12.560 You know, um, and have a, have a conversation because we have to find the center ground again where we can say, and this is true.

02:00:23.020 If these guys, if, if ICE were taking people, um, and they're just scooping them up off the street in the middle of the night and they are, you know, there's American citizens who have done no wrong.

02:00:34.440 Do you think I'd be on the side of the federal government?

02:00:39.560 No, but you also can't have it the other way.

02:00:43.360 You can't say that, uh, you know, January 6th is an insurrection and the worst insurrection since the civil war.

02:00:53.960 And then say with this going on and now more people killed on the streets in Minnesota than were in January 6th, you can't now say this isn't an insurrection and you don't have a right to have the insurrection act used.

02:01:10.400 Wait, wait, what made that an insurrection in this, not an insurrection because one was fighting the federal system to let the election go through.

02:01:19.520 And this one is fighting the federal system to give the ability to the federal government to actually go make arrests of really bad people.

02:01:26.800 Why is it not an insurrection?

02:01:29.000 And just try to find the logic points with people that you have a chance of saying, you know, look, we are, we're at the end of civilization here.

02:01:43.380 This is civilization enders.

02:01:45.240 If we don't figure this one out and none of us win, you don't, you don't win.

02:01:48.600 Your side doesn't win.

02:01:49.380 My side doesn't win.

02:01:50.160 We all lose.

02:01:50.780 We cannot be in this situation like that.

02:01:55.340 So can we just have a simple conversation and try to make that happen?

02:02:01.020 I don't know.

02:02:01.940 It might be too late, but I'm not giving up.

02:02:06.220 Yeah, I think you're right.

02:02:08.560 We can't give up, right?

02:02:09.600 But I will say that's why I brought up the five-year-old kidnapped by ICE story.

02:02:17.260 You know, that's one where I can understand if you're a left winger, right?

02:02:20.560 You see these pictures of a five-year-old in ICE custody and you're like, oh my gosh, they're picking up kids.

02:02:26.580 If you're on that side of the aisle and that's how you view this as a negative thing, we're not allowed to enforce our immigration law.

02:02:33.060 But you see them taking a five-year-old into custody.

02:02:35.180 I can understand how your immediate reaction to that would be, oh my gosh, they're out of control.

02:02:38.880 This is crazy.

02:02:40.020 And when I could get that.

02:02:42.320 But when you take a few seconds and you actually understand what has occurred here,

02:02:46.540 which is the parent of this child who is an illegal immigrant, ran from authorities and abandoned their child,

02:02:53.560 this should be something that you should be able to stop and say, okay, I get it.

02:02:58.800 This particular case isn't like that.

02:03:00.600 I still don't like what ICE is doing, but.

02:03:03.240 And there seems to be literally no ability for anyone on the left to get to that point.

02:03:08.180 I can talk to someone I know.

02:03:10.240 I can have a conversation with a person in my neighborhood who might be on the left, who I can get to that level.

02:03:15.860 But when you have politicians who are still out today saying this is a part of the problem,

02:03:22.680 everything from killing people on the streets to kidnapping five-year-old kids, politicians, news,

02:03:28.580 the media itself is still saying these things despite the fact that we know this was a completely false story

02:03:34.940 and totally taken out of context, it's really difficult to see how you can get over that hump.

02:03:41.460 And it's understandable why people are so despondent over our future as far as living with one another these days.

02:03:47.760 Because if you can't get basics down, there's just no way to have a shared truth.

02:03:53.240 And that's where I think the problem lies.

02:03:56.320 I agree with you.

02:03:57.260 More in just a second.

02:03:58.180 Let me tell you about American Giant.

02:03:59.320 Many clothes today made to look good on the rack, but not to hold up in real life.

02:04:05.320 They might feel fine at first, and then the fabric starts to thin quickly.

02:04:08.680 The shape goes, and before you know, you're replacing, you know, something that really, I mean,

02:04:13.640 should have earned its place, but never earned its place in your closet.

02:04:18.480 American Giant.

02:04:19.560 They were built to push back against that entire model.

02:04:22.300 Their clothes are made here in the United States with an emphasis on durability and fit and materials

02:04:27.520 that are meant to last through the years of actual wear.

02:04:30.540 This is the way America used to make clothing, and it holds up and washing, and it feels substantial

02:04:35.400 without being stiff or uncomfortable.

02:04:37.380 It's the kind of clothing that disappears on your body because it just does what it's supposed to do.

02:04:41.820 When something is really made well, you stop thinking about it.

02:04:45.580 You put it on, you go about your day, and you just trust it'll keep up with you without falling apart.

02:04:50.420 That's what American Giant is all about, making things the right way here in America

02:04:54.740 so you don't have to keep buying the same thing over and over again.

02:05:24.260 We'll be right back.

02:05:25.640 Glenn Beck is on.

02:05:48.580 Democrats are threatening to stall the funding bill because of the DHS.

02:05:53.780 Meanwhile, Tim Walsh has reached out to the president.

02:05:56.860 Donald Trump just responded saying they had a good conversation.

02:06:00.060 They're going to try to work things out, and he's putting Tom Holman in touch with,

02:06:03.320 that should be an interesting conversation, with Tim Walsh.

02:06:07.020 So we'll see what happens.

02:06:08.460 Stu, I have three stories.

02:06:10.280 Which one do you want to comment on?

02:06:11.800 Bank of England must plan for financial crisis sparked by aliens inside the bizarre conspiracy theory that Earth is losing gravity in the next two weeks.

02:06:25.320 Uh-oh.

02:06:25.920 And Michelle Obama complains people only know her for being married to Barack.

02:06:31.100 Oh, I would love to talk about Michelle Obama and her feelings about that.

02:06:38.900 I think, first of all, she's right.

02:06:41.880 100% accurate.

02:06:44.100 That's the only reason we know of her.

02:06:46.020 We would never have heard of her at all if it was not for her husband.

02:06:49.740 But I, along with her, Glenn, feel that's wrong.

02:06:54.420 We should not – there's something wrong with our society if that is to be true.

02:06:59.900 And there's only one way for us to solve this problem, which is to forget we ever knew about her.

02:07:05.580 I would argue that if she were to just go away and not speak again and not go on shows and leave us alone for just, let's say, 5 to 50 years in that period, I believe we would completely forget about her and this would all be solved.

02:07:20.900 I tend to agree.

02:07:23.300 And I wish she would, quite honestly.

02:07:25.360 You know what kills me is if it's not one thing she's complaining about, it's another.

02:07:29.640 And they're like the biggest, I don't know, rich person.

02:07:36.060 She was saying just the other day that, you know, and then when it became First Lady, it became all about my shoes and what I was wearing.
