the Glenn Beck program.
Hey, you sick freak.
Oh, gosh darn it.
The days of doom and gloom seem to be behind us.
Oh, yeah, Stu, it's true.
I mean, I love the doom and gloom.
I know.
I like to come on and say, hey, here are all the ways we could quickly be destroyed.
But today, I mean, I'm going through the show prep that you can get at gleinbeck.com.
I'm going through today's show prep, and
I'm like, I don't have enough time to tell you about all of the amazing things that are happening.
Thank you, Donald Trump.
We get there in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
We have a lot of work to do in this country, and thankfully, we've got somebody up at the top now doing a lot of work.
Really, really good work.
Thanks to the new administration stepping in.
But the battle is always uphill.
Yesterday, I was talking to Glenn Story, who runs Patriot Mobile.
My gosh, these people are good.
I mean, we spent the time flying back from
Washington, D.C.
to Dallas, and I don't think there was any part of the conversation that wasn't about God and country.
These people passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms, and
they are there every step of the way.
Now, if you want to switch your mobile service, there is no good reason not to.
You're going to save money.
You're going to get the same exact coverage, and you're going to get it with a company that takes their profits and plows it back into saving the nation.

All right.
Hello, Stu.
Glenn.
Your take on today's show and the feeling of the country is...
Fascinating and kind of where I am right now, too.
It's like it feels weird coming in and not having 46 bad stories to
tell everybody.
America, I don't know how to tell people this.
Yeah, this sucks.
And this is how it's going to ruin your life.
Like it's not.
It's a lot of good things today.
A lot.
Like a lot of really good things.
Now it's Jay.
Well, we should be clear.
No, it's.
And they're going to do everything they can to
try to reverse this and make all of our lives miserable.
But
hey, you know,
I don't know how long this lasts.
Hopefully for four years.
Hopefully for eight, maybe 12.
Yeah, let me just get the one dark thing out.
And this should piss off everybody.
And all you have to do is call your congressmen and your senators.
The New York Times.
To say that they are journalists
is like saying...
you know,
a Christmas carol is a true story of Christmas.
They are not journalists.
They are not printing facts.
This is a propaganda machine, and they know these are not facts.
Let me give you the latest.
Julie Turkin,
Sarah Fitzpatrick, and Courtney Cube have all worked together on a story that just came out about
Danielle Hegseth.
Now, who's Danielle Hegseth?
Well, that is Pete's former sister-in-law.
So she's right there.
Okay, she's a former sister-in-law.
And according to these, quote, reporters,
Danielle
says, oh, you don't even know.
You don't even begin.
Pete was involved in behavior that caused his second wife to fear for her safety.
And she describes in an affidavit allegations of volatile and threatening conduct by Hegseth that made his second wife, Samantha, fear for her safety.
Now, I want you to know,
Samantha denies all of this.
Zamantha was fearing for her safety.
Okay, I was there.
I saw it kind of, not really, but I saw it.
Ninth paragraph in.
Ninth paragraph in, they report something that should probably be in the headline.
Samantha's response to Danielle's allegations.
she says, first,
I never asked anyone to share or speak about the details of my marriage on my behalf.
She wrote a letter
to Danielle and said, please stop speaking on my behalf.
Your information is not accurate, and I have CC'd my lawyer.
Okay?
There was no, quoting, there was no physical abuse in my marriage.
This is the only further statement I will make to you.
I have to let you know that I am not speaking and will not speak on my marriage to Pete.
Please respect this decision.
But that's not good enough for the New York Times.
No, the person who was allegedly, allegedly abused in their marriage.
Who says, I wasn't abused and please stop speaking for me.
I've contacted my attorney to make it stop.
No, you don't believe that person.
You believe the far-left Democrat who's no longer part of the family.
You believe that person.
Now if that's not damning enough, several paragraphs past the ninth paragraph,
they report both Pete Hegseth and Samantha Hegset signed a 2021 court document that said neither parent claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse.
So
in a court of law, they both signed a legally binding document that said, yeah, that's not what this is about.
Kind of
important.
Now,
what the New York Times would have you believe is that Pete, the abused wife, and everybody else involved in this marriage and the dissolution of this marriage, including the attorneys and the judge, they're all lying to you.
They're all lying to you.
It's just Danielle that is telling the truth.
This is, I think, the clearest way that the media executes their plan of bias.
Yes.
Right.
It's who they decide to take the word.
Yes.
Whose word are they taking?
You know, it's like we have had
accusers against Doug Emhoff, right?
For physical abuse.
No time for them at all.
They didn't even mention them.
If they were mentioned at all, it was was to just miss that question.
The person who actually was supposedly hit in the face
in front of witnesses.
Yep.
No, no time for them at all.
None.
You know, women who claim to be raped by Bill Clinton,
Joe Biden, Joe Biden.
Joe Biden.
They don't have time for any of these people.
No.
But if some rant, not even the person, the person is saying it didn't happen.
Right.
Another person who is an ex of an ex of an ex comes out and says, yeah, this is really bad stuff.
It gets a whole giant news treatment from the New York Times, as if it's a credible assessment.
It's pathetic.
You try to go to court against the United States government on things that they're doing, and you will be deemed not having standing.
Meaning, it's not really affecting you.
It's not about you.
How many times have you heard this was rejected because you didn't have standing?
You hear that all the time, and the government just steamrolls over people.
This woman does not have standing.
She wasn't there.
That's not her.
Everybody else who is under oath is denying what she said.
Do I need to remind you of Kavanaugh?
These people have one mode.
One.
That's it.
This is why the left
can never actually gain rule.
Now they just did, and you saw what happened.
What was happening to our country?
They were destroying it.
Why?
Forget all of the philosophical reasons.
The real reason is that's all they can do.
They cannot build.
They can't actually create anything.
They only destroy.
So what are they doing?
They're not actually creating anything.
They're not actually doing anything.
They're just destroying.
Now they're destroying Pete Hagseth and his ex-wife.
Because what are they doing?
They're not only saying he's an abuser, they're saying she's a pathetic woman.
These are the people standing up for women.
She's a pathetic woman who just doesn't have the courage to stand up against this brute.
Are you kidding me?
And they can tell that story over and over again.
They can tell it exactly on partisan lines the same way over and over again.
They never have to admit it.
They never have to come to some come to Jesus moment where they say, gosh, we've been doing this wrong the whole time.
And you know what?
When it comes to the success of the conservative movement in America, good.
It's probably the reason why Trump won.
It's probably the reason why these things are happening today, because they have been so terrible for so long that it finally woke up a bunch of people who don't even believe in conservative principles.
And I tell you, what Trump is doing this week, it is going to backfire on the left like crazy.
People are not against the deportation of illegals.
No, it's quite popular, actually.
And people are polling.
I mean, what is the most popular policy in America?
What is it?
Voting, the checks on voting, right?
Like voter ID is one of the most popular.
And
what is the
mid to high 80s?
Mid to high 80s.
This is in the 70s, I believe, with the conservatives and like 68% approval with the left, right?
With Democrats.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's that high with the left.
Overall, it might be that high, though.
Okay.
I mean, it is.
It's high.
It is high.
It's popular.
And well over 50% for the Democrats.
Well over 50%.
This is not unpopular.
And these guys trying to thwart our safety.
I mean,
you're going to now block the CIA.
The guy who's going in to lead the CIA.
You're blocking the appointment for homeland security.
This is not going to end well for you, Democrats.
It's not.
Your time is over.
You lost.
Reasonable Democrats, absolutely.
Come on in.
But those who are leftists, those who only seek to destroy what has been built, those who want to change and throw out policies that haven't been working, come on, join us.
As long as you want to save the things that have been working or the things that are our mission statement
and say, you know what, we've never really made it to all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights and all of the Bill of Rights.
We are striving to build a more perfect nation, meaning we're never going to make it.
We always have to strive to be better.
You understand that concept as a Democrat?
Come on in.
Let's strive to be better without throwing out the baby.
But for those of you who are just obstructing,
your time and days are numbered.
It's over.
Read the room.
Back in just a second.
First,
let me tell you about Lear Capital.
My gosh, so much is happening.
Did you hear what
Donald Trump talked about when it came to TikTok?
He said, and I don't know how this is going to happen.
I don't even know if it can, but he was talking about TikTok and he said, TikTok's value goes to zero if it's shut off in America.
So who's going to buy it?
Now, I still think somebody should buy it, but I also think because we protect it, we should get half of it.
He said it's probably worth a trillion dollars.
Why aren't we getting half of it?
Now, it kind of sounds like a public-private partnership, unless it's just a giant tax on TikTok, which I'm all for.
I'm all for.
It's the Chinese government.
Go for it.
He's making some really bold moves that might
be able, in the end, to save the dollar if we can get these things through.
But I'll tell you,
Investing Haven is now predicting that silver is going to test its former all-time high of $50 an ounce.
Gold is not going anywhere.
I mean, down.
It's going up.
There is still the reality that the damage we have done to the U.S.
dollar is too great to overcome.
Now, silver is something that is used by industry, and they're now saying that it's going to go over its all-time high of $50 an ounce, moving all the way to $77 an ounce.
That's in the next couple of years.
That's from Investing Haven.
I don't know what it's going to do, but I know this.
I would have some of my life savings in gold or silver.
I think it's so important.
And the people to call Lear Capital, call them today, 800-957-GOLD.
Be a part of building the new chapter of America.
Have some wealth to do it by protecting what you've saved.
800-957 Gold.

10 seconds station ID.
Man, there are so many great things that are happening today.
We're just going to spend the time going over them.
Also, I would like to put your phone call in if you have something to say over this week.
888-727-BECK.
888-727-BECK.
Also, let me tell you tonight at 9 p.m.
on the Glenbeck Wednesday night special on Blaze TV,
the president has been talking a lot about Greenland and the Panama Canal.
Critics are ridiculing Donald Trump about the Greenland thing and saying that we're going to invade Greenland.
And then they just don't even understand the Panama Canal.
He's just power hungry.
No, no, this is strategic maneuvering to counter Chinese and Russia ambitions, both places, Greenland and the Panama Canal.
I'm going to explain to you what's at stake in these two things and why the president is right about these.
I'll take you through the history, which is the key to understanding the Trump administration's ambitions for both regions that are vital to protect America from our biggest enemies.
All part of the growing struggle to protect America's economic and national security.
Join me tonight.
The real reason Trump wants Greenland and the Panama Canal.
That's tonight at 9 p.m.
Eastern.
This is going to be a very large battle.
And
by saying that, I don't mean a military battle.
Well, Panama could.
But
it is going to be, it's strategically important for us.
So if you want to be on the cutting edge and be able to explain this to your friends, join me tonight, the real reason Trump Wants Greenland and the Panama Canal tonight, 9 p.m.

You know, we promised all these good things.
And so far, all we've done is complain about the media and the one bad thing that's going on.
I know, I know.
Well, I wanted to get that out of the way.
Out of the way.
Out of the way.
Now it's gone.
Oh, my gosh.
Now there's good things to talk about.
I am looking through.
I don't even know where to begin.
I mean, let's just
start at some little things.
The Trump administration has ordered all federal employees in DE offices to be placed on paid leave and shut DEI down.
Gosh darn it.
The Office of Personal Management, the government's top human resources agency, notified all federal department heads in a memo.
DEI programs must be notified by 5 p.m.
today.
Their administrative leave is effective immediately.
Also, all outward-facing media, such as web pages and social media accounts, focused on DEI programs all gone by 5 p.m.
today.
Cancel all employee diversity trainings, terminate any DEI-related contracts by 5 p.m.
today.
Also, OPM, listen to this, they are asking all agency heads to ask employees if they know of any efforts to disguise
DEI programs with coded or imprecise language and report their findings back
by January 31st.
And any employee caught trying to skirt this,
they will have, quote, adverse consequences.
I would like them to, I would like it just to be, no, you're going to be fired.
But I guess adverse consequences could mean more than fired.
I like this too, because this is the Thomas Sowell book, Thinking Beyond Stage One.
Yes.
That's what you have going on here.
They know what they're going to try with DEI.
They're going to try to change the language.
They're going to try to hide it with imprecise things.
They're going to do all that.
They're already looking for what the response will be to all this, which is really, really positive.
If anyone doesn't think Donald Trump was prepared,
look at just this week.
You've never seen anything like this.
I've never seen it.
From any precedent, right?
Whether you like it or not, you have to admit he's coming in here with a real plan and attempting to execute it quickly
in an overwhelming way.
I tend to like a lot of the stuff he's doing, but even if you even if you look at this,
because we've looked at this from the other side with a sort of like
admiration in a way, right?
An annoyed admiration of what the left has done.
They've built things, they prepared for moments, they're ready to go.
That's what this feels like.
Yeah, I will tell you that I was talking to somebody who was in in on the planning yesterday, and they said that President Trump made a list of every campaign promise that he made.
He asked for everybody, remember what I said, put it on a list.
He made the list too.
And he is really checking it twice and marking them off.
When they do them,
he is determined to keep every campaign promise.
So you want to know, left, what he's going to do.
Take him at his word.
And to be clear, they attempted to do this.
Steve Bannon did the same thing in the first administration.
He came in with a big list.
He had it, you know, it's been well covered.
This didn't get a lot of it done.
They didn't know what they were doing.
I mean, Bannon.
They do.
They know.
This time they do.
Wait until you hear what they've done just yesterday
and what's coming today.
Next.
This is Glenn Beck.
So So the Verna Launcher was started and designed by the guy who designed it is a guy who was
on the freeway and somebody had road rage and they were following him and, you know, trying to race him and everything else.
And he was really disturbed.
And he tried.
He went over to the slow lane, slowed way down.
The guy did the same thing.
So he decided, I'm just going to pull over.
The guy's not going to pull over.
He'll just pass me.
Well, when he pulled over, so did the other guy.
And the other guy just flew out of his car and it was, and he looks in his rearview mirror and he says, oh my gosh, this guy's coming at me.
He reached to his glove box and almost pulled out his gun, decided not to, decided to de-escalate the situation.
And he walked out and he was beaten on the side of the street within an inch of his life.
And he said, I'm not going to shoot somebody for road rage.
You know, I'm just not.
He said,
but I would have pulled the gun if I had to do it over again, but I don't want to kill somebody for it.
So he created the Burna launcher, which would have stopped that from happening.
Have one of these.
And in honor of Inauguration Week, they put together a custom curated bundle, discounted 15% off right now.
Get it right now.

According to the Blaze today, the new chairman of the FCC,
who I love, Chairman Brendan Carr,
has announced the end of all diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at the FCC.
He said he was erasing DEI as a priority of the Commission's strategic plan.
He said he would end DEI advisory group at the FCC and any mention of DEI in the Commission's budget.
Also,
DEI will be excised from the performance reports at the FCC as well as all economic plans.
Amen.
Now, let's go to Trump ending affirmative action for federal contractors and universities.
He's just signed an executive order rescinding Lyndon Johnson's executive order of 11-246, which established affirmative action and bans all federal contractors and publicly funded universities from practicing race-based discrimination, including DEI.
This is a massive shift that came under Lyndon Johnson.
These guys,
thank God,
they are going for the roots of these problems.
This is not somebody that is just
cutting the hedges.
These guys are going down into the soil and pulling it up by its roots.
The Coast Guard,
as soon as he took his oath of office,
just within hours, the head of the Coast Guard
was relieved of command.
The Commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Linda Fagan,
Apparently, Department of Homeland Security first reported her ouster a minute after midnight on Tuesday.
She was fired and told she was going to be fired right after he was sworn in.
Leftist outlets and everybody else is like, oh, you can't do that.
She's the first female leader of a military service.
Yeah, and she sucked.
Okay, she sucked.
She didn't address any of the threats of border security.
She didn't hit any of her recruitment or retention goals.
She did not
adequately equipped the Coast Guard stations in the Arctic.
Why do you think we're going for Greenland?
Because China and Russia are coming over the pole into the Arctic and
she didn't protect that.
She also mishandled the
Operation Fouled Anchor, which was an investigation into the cover-up of sexual misconduct at the Coast Guard Academy
and excessive focus on DEI.
She said one of her famous quotes is something like,
Our diversity is our strength.
Our diversity only makes us stronger.
Does it?
Does it?
Or does our unity make us stronger?
We can be diverse, but not in everything.
Not in everything.
Like to be diverse in thought, but not on principles.
What do you think?
And I don't care about your skin color.
Nobody does.
Stop it.
Now, let's see.
What else?
Republicans.
I love this.
Chip Roy.
Thank you.
Is making a move to repeal the FACE Act.
He said, and Mike Lee is about to introduce it in the Senate.
It's got to get past the House, and then he'll pick it up in the Senate.
Their case is
you don't need the FACE Act.
There is no constitutional right to abortion.
So what constitutional constitutional right are they enforcing?
None.
You don't have that right.
So, and you certainly have the right of speaking your mind,
gathering and protesting as long as it's lawful and you're not, you know,
doing anything, breaking the law and harassing people.
But you certainly can gather.
And so they now want to take
the FACE Act and get rid of it.
Do you know what that would mean?
You know how great that is?
And it's happening through Congress and the Senate.
So
they're hitting on all fronts so far.
The Trump administration told all of the State Department through Marco Rubio, all of the State Department, every embassy, you are no longer allowed to fly the LGBT Pride or BLM flags at the embassies.
You can fly the POW flag, but that's it.
It's the flag of the United States of America, and that's the only other flag you're allowed to fly, is POW.
I think that's fantastic.
I mean, we're in countries now where they do not want to hear the preaching from the United States of America,
especially in places like Africa.
Uh-uh.
They don't want to hear that.
Just common sense.
You know, it's not, even if you completely support every one of those causes, why on earth would we be hanging the flag of them in our foreign embassies?
It makes no sense.
It's an American political issue.
What does that have to do with this?
So
Marco Rubio issued the statement, starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S.
facilities, both domestic and abroad,
and featured in U.S.
government content.
So in other words, you can't put any of those markings now on any of our websites.
The flag of the United States of America united all Americans under the universal principle of justice, liberty, and democracy.
These values are the bedrock of our great country and are shared by all American citizens past and present.
The U.S.
flag is a powerful symbol of pride and it is fitting and respectful that only the U.S.
flag be flown or displayed at U.S.
facilities both domestically and abroad.
Anyone who transgresses this new policy will face disciplinary action, including termination of employment, contract, or reassignment to their home agency.
Now, this stands in Lincoln said that for May and June,
the rainbow flag had to be flown at all U.S.
embassies all around the world for Pride Month.
Wait, May and June?
Yeah, May.
He announced this on May 17th, which is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.
Of Of course it is, obviously, Clennam.
We all know.
December 25th and May 17th.
We know the big holidays.
Right.
And so they have that May 17th.
And he's like, just put it up on May 17th.
And then it just don't take it down until the end of June.
So now you get a month and a half.
A month and a half.
A month and a half.
Right.
So that's not going to happen anymore.
Let me show you how deep
this is going.
Donald Trump, remember, is a real estate guy.
He's also a builder.
And somebody in this administration understands Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson said, if you want your society and your civilization to live on, you must embed its values in its architecture.
Okay.
Well,
ugly, brutalist,
and Soviet-style architecture is everywhere.
If you've gone to Washington, D.C.,
there's there's some beautiful architecture, and then there's all that ugly new architecture that just means nothing.
It's just brutalist.
Donald Trump has just issued another executive order on his first day
asking the heads of departments to provide recommendations on how to advance the cause of an architectural renaissance in America that would see all the federal buildings prioritize beauty over anti-traditional hang-ups or egos of radicals.
Toward the end of his first term, he issued an executive order mandating that new federal buildings should not only be designed to serve the American people, but should be designed to uplift and beautify public spaces, inspire the human spirit, ennoble the United States, command respect from the general public, and, as appropriate, respect the architectural heritage of the regions of the United States.
Joe Biden immediately canceled that.
I mean, you know, we are having architect fights now.
And so
they have now taken, you know, the design.
The J.
Edgar Hoover building is a really good example of this, just ugly and meaningless.
And so they rescinded Trump's order and they started to put into place
all of these
new plans for new buildings.
And Trump just stopped that and said, sorry,
we are not going to build ugly buildings anymore.
They mean nothing and they're Soviet in style.
It's not happening.
That's how deep this is going.
That's how well thought out this is.
That's something that's been important to him for a long time.
Oh, because he does like a little bit of that ceremony, right?
He likes he wants big, he's talked about big parades, this festival coming up or whatever it is, celebration of our,
in 2026, is a big one that he's talking about.
You know, this has been important to him for a while.
And again, like it's a great illustration of how well this stuff has been thought out.
It should be important to all of us.
You know, I lived through the bicentennial.
I remember it.
Yeah.
That bicentennial stuff, it was out by, you know, 1972.
We knew the logo.
You remember that red, white, and blue star logo, that rounded star logo?
I don't know if you're old enough to remember it.
I was born as I'm a bicentennial baby, Clem.
Oh, okay.
So you got to say, my mom used to talk about it.
But it was out.
Congratulations.
that's icky.
Let's talk about your mom creating you.
That's when I was born, not conceived, weirdo.
Anyway,
but you didn't tell me.
Hey, by the way, oh, it was a wonderful night.
Let me tell you all about it.
That wasn't part of the analysis.
Oh, I got to tell you, sometimes when the kids get really out of control, I start down that road.
They shut up really quickly.
They do.
They shut up really quickly and run.
But we had, I mean, by 1972, we were talking about the bicentennial, and it was a big buildup.
Here we are, 18 months away, not even that.
We're 15 months away from the 250th birthday.
There's no logo.
There's nothing.
There's nothing.
There's a lot of plans out there, but we haven't even started that.
He believes in not being embarrassed.
by the United States.
We talked about this yesterday with renaming Mount McKinley, Mount McKinley again.
You know, exactly, he is the exact opposite of Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama said, and Barack knows we're going to have to change our
traditions, history, our history.
Do you have it?
Go ahead, play that again.
And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices.
We are going to have to change our conversation.
We're going to have to change our traditions, our history.
We're going to have to move into a different place.
He knows that, and he is systematically dismantling it.
I'm telling you, this guy,
if they can keep this going
and withstand the
just the stupid attacks from the left and the media that is coming,
he's going to be remembered as an Abraham Lincoln.
He is going to be a re-founder of this country.
And I, for one, am thrilled.
We'll go back to the changes being made here in just in the last 24 hours coming up in just a second.

The really unfortunate thing is buying and selling your home is the biggest decision you'll ever make in your life.
And you probably don't have any idea.
what a good real what makes a good real estate agent.
I didn't.

We've been talking a while about a crime called house stealing or home title fraud.
It is one of those things where if you own a property, your title and all the hard-earned equity that you've built is at serious risk.
This really fast-growing crime has been a very serious problem for property owners.
A California district attorney recently stated that known title fraud attempts over the past year and a half has jumped from zero to almost 80.
So how do these criminals do it?
First, they find your home's title online, and then they print out documents to transfer ownership.
Then they forge your signature, file it with the local recorder's office, and they get ownership of your home transferred out of your name into theirs.
That's all it takes for your property to become their property, at least on paper.
You might still be living there, but they can take out loans and do all sorts of damage.
Home title lock has triple lock protection.
They provide 24-7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts if there are anything's going on.
And if the worst thing happens, their U.S.-based team works fast to restore your title at no additional cost to you.
And our friends at Home Title Lock have a special offer going on now.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
I have to tell you, I think this is one of the most exciting times to be alive in America right now.
I mean, I think it would have been scary, you know, in the founding era, but it would have been incredible knowing that that change was coming.
Same thing for
probably more scary because of the number of people that died,
the freedom of slaves and the Lincoln presidency.
I think the Industrial Revolution, you know, the mid to late 1800s had to be incredible.
And I think right now, maybe the 1950s in some ways, because we've found our strength, but it was filled with so many bad things.
Right now,
with what Trump is doing, just in the last two days, if he keeps this up,
this is a redesign and a reclaiming and a refounding of America.
The golden age is really here.
And I just find it thrilling, absolutely thrilling.
Wait until you hear.
I mean, we've got two more hours of stuff that he has done in the last you know 24 36 hours that are incredible and everywhere and deep deep deep deep stuff
that's uh you don't normally say things like that and no uh you know obviously there are the limitations we've discussed many times on executive orders like you know god forbid some terrible you know josh shapiro or pete butige become president in 2028 that stuff could be reversed and that's why you have to work hard to get this stuff through congress as well.
But look, you know,
we're still at the beginning of this.
You know, it's a four-year term, and you can get a lot done in four years, as we've just seen from Joe Biden.
You know, I mean, to be fair to Joe Biden, who is an absolutely terrible president in every single way, unless you happen to be a hardcore progressive.
And then I think you look at his presidency, while disappointing because of the lack of reelection and the failure of what happened in the election,
he got two terms of stuff done in that first term
from a progressive perspective.
So a lot of this is going to have to be reversed.
There's a lot of work to do just to get us back to
normal post-Barack Obama presidency levels.
Here's what is so exciting about this is he's not just cutting, he's building at the same time.
And only the progressives
have been doing that in a very well-orchestrated and really thought out way.
For the first time in my life, we're doing that.
And that's coming from a businessman who has done massive projects in the private sector, now learned how the public sector works, and is doing exactly the same thing.

And I'll explain here in 60 seconds.

All right.
Politico has a fascinating article today that I want to start the hour with.
And it is from John Harris.
He is the founding editor and global editor in chief of Politico.
He says, Donald J.
Trump, in his second inaugural address, was everything his supporters hoped he would be.
breathtakingly expansive about his intention to reshape the vast federal government around his vision, raucously jingoistic in proclaiming that the country will do whatever it wants to do to advance its interests around the world, openly triumphal in asserting his belief that
his survival from an assassination's bullet or from an assassin's bullet and his victory show that he is God's chosen instrument to lead an American revival.
I don't think that's exactly what he said or how it came across to his supporters.
It didn't with me, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here.
I understand what he's trying to say as somebody who's never supported Donald Trump.
Trump was also everything his adversaries feared.
Messianic in tone, lovingly protective of his grievances, wholly uncharitable to the people sitting just feet from him under the Capitol Rotunda, who he defeated so convincingly.
But
The second occasion of Trump taking the oath of office also put him in an entirely new light.
For the first time, he is holding power under circumstances in which reasonable people cannot deny a basic fact.
He is the greatest American figure of his era.
Let's quickly exhale, he writes.
Great in this context is not about a subjective debate over whether he is a singularly righteous leader or a singularly menacing one.
It is now simply an objective description about the dimensions of his record.
He began a decade ago by dominating the Republic Party.
He soon advanced to dominating every discussion of American politics broadly.
Now his astonishing comeback after his defeat by Joseph Biden in 2020 and the notoriety of January 6 riot makes it clear there are certain things he is not and one big thing he is.
He is not a fluke who got elected initially in 2016 almost entirely because of the infirmities of his opponent.
That's not true.
He is not someone the American public somehow misunderstands
as through Democrat, as though Democrats and news media have not spent 10 years forcefully highlighting the risks of his record in character.
He is someone with an ability to perceive opportunities that most politicians do not and forge powerful, sustained connections with large swaths of people in ways that no contemporary can match.
In other words, he is a force of history.
This is something his most ardent supporters, still shy of a national majority, have never doubted, but something others, myself included, have been slow to reckon with.
This is an article, by the way, from the global editor-in-chief of Politico.
The inaugural address and a raft of hundreds of executive orders Trump has promised for his opening days in office make it impossible to avoid.
For Democrats and most excruciatingly, Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris, the inaugural ceremony and all it symbolizes were a meal made of ingredients scraped off the kennel floor.
Once they gargle and spit, however, the opposition party may find something liberating about this moment.
That is, because they can no longer place confidence in a strategy that once looked plausible but has now been exposed as an illusion.
That's a massive statement.
They cannot push Trump to the margins by treating him as a
momentary anomaly or simply denouncing him as a lawless or illegitimate president.
Some voters bought that, but not enough to win the election.
Opponents have no choice but to acknowledge he and his movement represent a large historic argument, and then they rally similarly large arguments to defeat it.
Trump in 2020 showed himself ready to undermine democracy for his own purposes.
Trump in 2024 showed that he is also a potent expression of democracy.
The most flamboyant rhetoric of Donald Trump's inaugural address, Drill Baby Drill, retaking the Panama Canal, renaming Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, sending federal troops to the border, are all expressions of his genuine worldview.
Thank you for acknowledging at least just that.
I can't tell you how many times I heard CNN in the last couple of days say, he doesn't believe any of this stuff.
He absolutely believes all of this stuff.
What part of this is giving you any indication he doesn't believe this?
And how, explain to me exactly how both he doesn't believe any of it and he's a Nazi.
Yeah.
From what I understand, Hitler had some pretty strong beliefs.
Jeez.
That leaves plenty of room for argument.
Trump has transcended his vulnerability to criminal penalties for January 6th.
It is not possible for him to transcend a genuine contest over competing visions of the better America.
The contest may be more effective if opponents embrace the reality that Trump has already demonstrated some familiar signatures of the most consequential presidents.
Like influential predecessors, his arguments have shifted the terms of debate in ways that echo within both parties, in this case on issues such as trade, China, and the role of big corporations.
Like other large presidents, Trump has been communications innovator and exploited technological shifts more effectively than his rivals.
In that sense, Trump's use of social media recalls Franklin D.
Roosevelt's mastery of radio, John F.
Kennedy and Ronald Reagan's mastery of television, and even as his banter and insults don't aspire to anything like traditional president's eloquence.
One more signature shown, the most consequential presidents only.
Uncommon psychological toughness.
Have you ever known anyone who is facing similar legal hurdles?
In many cases, even if people ultimately win the case, they end up being consumed and shrunken by the searing nature of the experience.
Now, listen to that.
The same guy who's making the case that he's, you know, he can't shake his grievances is saying in many cases, even if people ultimately win the case,
they end up being consumed and shrunken by the searing nature of that experience.
So he's recognizing what he just went through.
Imagine running for president amid huge civil suits, criminal prosecutions, even felony convictions, then emerging from the morass as a larger figure than before.
No one needs to admire the achievement to recognize that Trump is possessed by some rare traits of denial, combativeness, and resilience.
About that combattiveness,
could someone so zealously divisive ever join the roster of presidents who even schoolchildren can typically recite as the nation's greatest?
My mind goes back to a conversation just before Bill Clinton.
In his second term, the liberal historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., he had inherited a tradition from his father, also renowned scholar, conducting surveys of historians asking him to rank American presidents from best to worst.
Clinton was promising in his second term to be a great national
unifier.
Schlesinger, who wished greatness for Clinton, but mistrusted his ideological centrism, was skeptical.
Great presidents are unifiers mostly in retrospect.
Of course.
Because he is changing things.
He is trying to bring people along.
FDR said, I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.
That is the same thing.
Aren't we judging Donald Trump a lot on the enemies that he has made?
Now we're starting to see him and do things that you're like, okay, he understands the enemies, but more importantly, he understands what the enemies have done to our country and can stop those and what we need to do to build a more unified and better country to form a more perfect union.
I'm telling you, I said this.
to him and I even said, I can't believe I'm saying this to you,
but
if you accomplish these things, you will be
on the same ground as some of our founders and Abraham Lincoln and the greatest presidents to ever live.
He is going to do more in fundamental transformation of this country than Barack Obama did by far, than Joe Biden did in destroying it.
I hope that's a high bar.
That's a very high bar.
But he is, you know, he sat in the church yesterday
and just took that sermon.
Nobody should be surprised by that sermon.
That's an Episcopal church.
Hello.
And did you see how she walked out?
I mean, she was practically a rainbow and her shoes were pots of gold.
I mean, she was, she's clear in her stance, just the way she was dressed as a high priestess.
And then on top of that, this is the National Cathedral.
The National Cathedral is
practically
an un-American cathedral.
I mean, it does not rejoice in anything except progressivism.
It's the burial site.
Literally inside the church are the bones of Woodrow Wilson.
So, I mean, nobody should be surprised.
And if this is being done for tradition.
It's the opposite of hallowed ground.
Yes, it is.
It's like a poltergeist house.
Right.
It's hallowed ground for progressivism.
So
for him to go into the National Cathedral,
that is tradition.
Well, you know what?
It's time to end some of those traditions because some of those traditions are bad traditions.
Unlike just saying all American traditions should be abandoned like Barack Obama.
He should look at
each tradition and say, you know, why would I go to the National Cathedral?
The National Cathedral stands against most of the things that Americans are for.
I'm not going there.
I'm going to go to another church to celebrate this occasion, not that one.
And it'll be interesting to see how he responds to this in a bigger picture because
what my perception is right now is
Trump 2.0, the second administration, is more to that side.
You know what?
We're done with that tradition.
We're done with that whole thing.
We're going in this direction than what I think he would have been in 2017,
where he, now he did put up a message about her, kind of an angry sort of truth.
Well, it wasn't speaking truth to power.
It was
absolutely an act
of fame.
It was somebody who was selfish
with this person that just wanted fame.
You're not going to change his mind.
But like,
I really hope he doesn't let this stuff bother him.
This is the type of stuff that, like, you know,
it would have, I think he would have been, it would have been a week of just bashing this woman, and
she is nothing.
Forget her and move on.
Yeah.
With the exception of, you know what, maybe this is,
why do we go there?
You know, he did that in the first term with the press, the correspondence dinner, right?
He's like, no, I'm not going to that.
It's stupid.
Yeah.
And like, that's the type of stuff he should do.
But don't let that, don't let crap like that, because it's going to happen to him throughout his four years.
Don't let that derail you.
I'd like to know why the Washington, the White House Press Corps even exists.
The White House, you know, it's the White House Press Corps that does the dinner and they decide who gets the seats and what the rules are.
Why?
Why, who the hell are they?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, and we've seen, you know, we saw that with the debate commission, right?
Correct.
Why?
Well, who the hell are they?
Well, Biden was like, I don't want to do it that way.
Right.
And he didn't.
You know, he probably should have.
Probably should have stuck by that one.
But, you know, I remember this in the Kamala debate with Trump, where, you know, really her only maybe successful point of the entire campaign was to goad him on the crowd size of his first inauguration, right?
To to taunt him, to try to get him off track.
And
it seems to me that he is
really mostly beyond that.
I mean, it's obviously tempting.
I mean, it's like the person, you know, I'm in this situation.
I know you are too, Gleb.
You hop on social media.
You know, the dumbest thing you can do with your display is fight with idiots online.
You know it.
Then you read a comment, you're like, oh, come on.
I know.
And you type it and hopefully you don't click send.
But like, it's just this stupid thing that we do as human beings.
It's got
100 times worse for Trump to have to do it.
I'm not kicked myself for posting about CNN.
Because it's like nobody's watching it.
There's like four people that are watching it.
It doesn't matter.
And three of those are cameramen.
And the fourth and fifth cameramen aren't watching it as they're filming it on camera.
And we knew those cameramen, they weren't always excited about what was going on there either.
No, they were not.
I got to tell you,
I did the same thing.
I'm like,
and I just blew up and I went live on X or wherever I went and said a few things about CNN.
It's so beneath us.
It doesn't need to be said.
It just doesn't need to be said.
It doesn't need to be said.
And we are morons who have plenty of time to waste.
He's the president of the United States.
I'm an alcoholic.

All right, tonight on our Wednesday night special on Blaze TV, why President Trump has been talking so much about Greenland and the Panama Canal.
These are important for you to understand.
It's not that he's some imperialist president, whatever.
Your friends are going to make that case.
Well, probably not.
The media is going to make that case, and your stupid friends are going to say, God, GG, I'm just an imperial president.
You need to understand what's going on.
These are both vital
regions that are under threat from America's biggest enemy.
It is why...
It's why one of the first things he did was fire the commander or the commandant of the Coast Guard because one of the things she wasn't doing was protecting the Arctic Circle.
And we are under attack.
There is a war going on at the Arctic Circle that nobody is talking about.

Hello and welcome to the Going Back Program.
Man,
what a week this has been.
And not because of the, you know, going up in Washington, and I recommend you don't do that.
It's just not worth it.
But
nothing is worth it going to Washington anymore.
But what a week it has been to see the transformation of not only our policies happening so rapidly, but the transformation in Donald Trump.
I mean, Donald Trump is not the same president we had as 45.
That one was fun to watch.
That one made a lot of difference.
This one is fundamentally changing everything.
Everything.
And it is amazing to watch.
I just
hope he's going to show mercy to the LGBTQQIA2 plus community.
Oh, yeah.
Have we heard about that yet?
Does he have official executive order on that yet?
Do you have, what was her name?
Marion Edgar Buddy.
Booty?
Booty.
I think it's Booty, as in she has a nice booty.
I don't think that's that.
I think so.
I think it's Pastor Booty or Priestess Booty.
Priestess Booty?
Priestess Booty.
I think that's what, I think that's how, you know, that's, in fact, that is the way I believe everyone should pronounce it.
Booty.
Yeah, just remember, she's got a nice booty.
I don't even know.
I haven't seen her booty, so I don't know.
Would you be interested in seeing it?
Not really.
Well, no.
You can see it on shockingly The View, where she's going to be going on.
They're going to have somebody who's anti-Trump?
Yeah, I don't know where they came up with an idea like that.
My guess is they probably already had her booked before that.
Yeah.
It's like, let's get a random priestess to come on the show.
And she is, and I think it's important to call her a priestess because she is a high priestess of the new religion.
Yes.
Yeah.
So she is preaching that religion.
And preach on, sister booty.
This is like, you know, they just come up with these figures.
Uh-huh.
These figures that they,
like, Mary Trump was like this.
Yeah, yeah.
She was going to make a big difference.
Remember her?
Yeah.
Oh, she's got the last name Trump.
Yeah.
And she's saying bad things about Trump.
She's now our biggest celebrity.
What about the guy?
Remember the guy who was Stormy Daniels' lawyer?
Yeah.
Remember?
Can't, I am proud to say can't even remember his name.
I don't even have a guess.
I could see his face in my head.
I can't even get a fancy.
I can't even have a guess.
Can we look that up real quick?
See who that is?
Because remember he was going to run for president?
Is he a presidential contender?
Now he's in prison.
And Donald Trump is not.
No.
No.
No.
Anyone got that?
Yeah.
No, she's.
CJ's just looking at us.
He's not even trying.
The high priest.
CJ's in there just staring blankly at his computer.
What's his name?
Michael Avenatti is the name.
Michael Avenatti.
Remember this guy?
Yo, yeah.
He was like the hero of the left for like three weeks.
And then they, you know, then they started, he got really popular.
They were promoting him to be president.
Every single time this happens,
what's the name of the lady that he supposedly sexually assaulted at Bergdorf's?
I am happy to say I don't even remember her.
I don't remember her name either.
Gosh, what is it?
This is terrible.
I mean, it's good.
It's good as a human development, but I probably should remember it.
But her, too.
Again, I think she's forgotten.
Every show.
She's a celebrity.
She's someone you need to hear about because she said something bad about Donald Trump.
Well, I have to tell you,
Priestess Booty, I think everybody will remember her for her nice booty.
You know what I mean?
Because she's...
I don't know.
I think she wants to be upheld as a sex symbol, Stu.
I would not be surprised.
Frankly.
Look at the way she dressed while she was preaching.
I know.
It was interesting, I guess.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's like pretty.
Really don't care.
Don't care.
Really don't care.
And just Donald Trump should just,
you know, I really do think he should just calmly come out and say, we're not going to do anything else at the National Cathedral when I die.
And I know some people will celebrate this, but
I don't want to be carried down the aisle right next to the bones of Woodrow Wilson.
Not interested.
Thank you very much.
Maybe turn it into an office building or something.
E.
Gene Carroll, by the way.
E.
Gene Carroll is the one we were doing.
Oh,
I thought that's who wrote Alice in Wonderland.
Well, same kind of fiction.
You're thinking of J.K.
Rowling.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, it's a different one.
Yeah, you're thinking of
Harry Rowdy.
Sorry, sorry.
This is a dumb thing we do up here.
I apologize for derailing us.
Okay.
All right.
Marco Rubio has told the diplomats that he's ending the State Department programs that open the door to censorship.
I think it does a little more than opening the door to censorship.
I mean, just maybe a little bit.
He said he's ending the agencies and programs of our own government that are engaged in censorship, suppression, and misinformation.
He is remaining on the lookout for enemy propaganda under his watch.
Any programs that lead to or in any way open the door to censorship of the American people will be terminated.
I am back to terminate.
Then Trump, the DHS, has dissolved its advisory boards.
Donald Trump, acting Homeland Security Chief, has ordered the dismantling of all department advisory boards to guard against the misuse of resources after the Biden administration's
disastrous attempt to create a Big Brother-style disinformation governance board.
In a memo dispatched Monday evening,
Benjamin
Huffman mandated the termination of all current memberships on advisory committees with DHS effective immediately.
Future committee activities will be focused solely on advancing our critical mission to protect the homeland and support DHS strategic priorities.
Biden administration was ripped for the spring of 2022 for coming up with their disinformation governance board.
They said they got rid of it, and then just a few weeks after they were discontinued, they just renamed it something else.
Donald Trump is all over this.
All of these
dictates now are all saying the same thing.
And by the way, if anyone knows of it changed to a different name to hide,
you tell us now.
Otherwise, we're coming after you as well when we find out.
And they will find out.
They will find out.
Trump also came out with an AI
declaration yesterday, which I found interesting.
Let me see if I have this.
It's
cut two, please.
Well, Mr.
President,
last month I came to celebrate your winning and promised that we would invest $100 billion.
And you told me, oh Masa, go for $200.
Now I came back with $500.
Because this is the, as you said yesterday, this is the beginning of golden age.
Golden Age.
of America.
This is one great example, I think.
Right?
We wouldn't have decided to do that.
This is the beginning of the golden age.
We wouldn't have decided unless you want.
And yesterday, we agreed, we signed to make this happen.
So that is the
CEO, the SoftBank Group CEO
from
Japan,
who is working now on AI infrastructure.
And they're putting in
$500 billion.
It's incredible.
$500 billion.
Now, some people will look at this and say, I don't like this because he's working with Open AI and who is the other one that they're working with to build the AI infrastructure.
And yes, that is true.
You know, what this is going to do is create a lot of jobs to build, you know, extra power plants and server farms and everything else so we can do and really be
the leader in the world of all of this stuff.
And I don't like the government being involved in this,
but
what we had was the government saying to all of the industry of AI, forget about doing anything.
We own all of it.
And now Donald Trump is saying, well, we're going to help you build it
because we have to lead in it, which is true.
The days of good choices are over.
We have no good choices anymore when it comes to AI.
There's nothing you can do to stop it.
And there's nothing you can do to keep the bad guys from owning it.
And I include that as the United States government and places even like Open AI.
I just don't trust any of them and any of the goals of theirs and goals of
AI in the end.
But this is probably the best out of the worst options that we have.
There's something else that happened yesterday.
Was it yesterday?
Yeah, yesterday was Tuesday.
This is how deep the president is going.
The president is not only going to be speaking at Davos this week via satellite, one of the first to do that.
And I can't wait to hear his message.
I hope that it is very, very clear to that organization that we are independent and out of all of that nonsense.
But he's not only going to do that this week, he is also
yesterday, his staff was on the ground in California looking at all of the damage and talking to all of the leaders in the community and the fire and the police to find out exactly what the president can do to help.
So they were on the ground yesterday
going through everything to prepare for his trip.
It's today, Wednesday, Friday.
He's going to be Friday in California doing that.
This guy is on all of it.
All of it.
And it's impressive to see.
And
maybe part of the excitement, I don't think so, but maybe is part of the excitement, Stu, that the fact that he's not like,
Is that a medical diagnosis?
Yeah, that's a medical diagnosis of our last president.
Yeah.
I mean, again,
he's not the youngest guy in the world, but man, seems like a totally different person.
And this idea was about age discrimination all of those years.
Yeah.
And we talked about this yesterday.
There is a real
need for a deep investigation as to what happened the last couple of years with Biden in there.
The fact that they were hiding this from the American people.
It's treason.
It really is treason.
You cannot take the power of the president without alerting everyone.
He is the duly elected president of the United States, and you don't set up a cabal to keep people out of the loop.
I want to see every text message,
every email,
every WhatsApp message, every other messaging platform they decided to hide their messages on about what they were doing and what they really thought about this guy while it was happening.
There has to be something done about this.
We can't just be a country that's like okay with just turning off the executive branch's brain for multiple years.
That's not okay.
Whether you like the guy's policies or not, whether you like what Susan Rice and Anthony Blinken were doing as president of the United States, they weren't elected for that role.
So we need to really figure out what happened there and we need to know who was responsible for it and we need to know how to stop it for next time.
All right, more in just a second.
Man, last night I got home.
I think my son may have changed our sheets.
I mean, getting ready for us to come home.
It was like, what is, what the hell is, what do you want?
What do you want?
But anyway,
I climbed into bed.
Now I've had the Cozy Earth
comforter.
I got it last week.

Have you ever found yourself like something really soft and you're petting it?

I knew they were going to be nice because I felt them before.
I've never, honestly, never felt anything like it.
I don't even know how to describe these sheets.
They are so incredibly soft.

This
is
Glenn Beck.
Welcome to the Glide Guy program.
I think the most important thing, and I hate to come in halfway through the show and drop this like
a bomb on you, but I think the most important thing that we could talk about today
is cut one.
Could we please play cut one?
This is the Philadelphia mayor.
E L G
S E S Eagles.
Let's go first.
Yeah, she does that chant all the time, you can tell, and can spell.
Look, I am a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
I do not defend the voting abilities of the people of Philadelphia.
They don't vote well.
You know, they vote as if they're drunkenly celebrating an Eagles win.
And that's not the time.
That's That's the mayor.
That's the mayor there.
And
not good.
There is no A in Eagles.
I just want you to know.
There's what?
There is no A in Eagles.
Just like there is no I in team.
There is no A in Eagles?
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles.
I have a.
Could we play this again, please?
Uh-huh.
Play it again, please.
Okay, let's hear it.
E.
Come on.
It's E.
Go ahead, push the start button.
It's E.
E.
L.
E.
G.
S.
E.
S.
Eagles.
E-L-E-L.
Eagles.
There is no A in Eagles.
Okay, I think you're right.
Okay, she has taught us.
She has taught us.
I was at the stadium
this last game.
Yeah.
And one thing that Philadelphia Eagles can do, no matter how inebriated they are, is spell that team's name.
They know.
Yeah.
They say it often.
I love it more than life itself.
But
anybody who is a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles can do basically at least one thing, and that's it.
Spell that name.
Yeah, you can be in full-fledged blackout mode.
Yeah, absolutely.
You'll be drinking to the point where you're poisoning your body and everything is shutting down, but you can still spell Eagles.
But apparently the mayor can't.
No.
It's a proud, proud moment there for Philadelphia.
Congratulations.
Good, good.
Good many of them in the past, and here's just another one on top of it.
Yeah, good, good voting there.
Go Birds.
This is Glenn Beck.
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
Stand your ground when times get dark.
Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is
the Glenn Beck program.
How do you spell Eagles?
Cut one.
How do you spell Eagles?
E.
E.
L.
L.
G.
G.
S.
Eagles.
Yes.
S.
Eagles.
Yes.
It is fantastic.
And,
you know, Stu, I know you're a big Eagles fan, and that's quite a representation.
Thank you.
For the Eagles.
I think that's.
We're only sending our best, Glenn.
Yeah, right.
It's like, you know, it's me, C, H,
E,
F,
S, O,
Chefs.
I don't, I'm not the best speller in the world, but gosh, it's good to be in such good company with
the mayor of Philadelphia who can't spell Eagles.
But I'm only sharing that with you now because it makes Stu very, very unhappy.
I don't care who they have as their mayor.
As long as they win Super Bowls, I don't care what they do to that city.
I love the team.
The city is where the team is.
If they burn it down, it might actually be an improvement.
Mass portions of this.
I drove through it.
Mass portions.
Most of the citizens would like them to be burned to the ground.
All right, let me tell you about International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, our sponsor this half hour.
Two days ago, the American people swore into office once again the most pro-israel president we've had in my lifetime and maybe even ever up until you know probably the founders were a little more pro-Israel
thank god for that because the Jewish people aren't just our closest allies in the world they're also our brothers and sisters under the same god that we worship that's one of the many reasons I've partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and we're coming up next week on January 27th, Holocaust Remembrance Day.
And the fellowship is doing their part, not only helping to remember remember and providing food, shelter, and safety to Jews in Israel and around the world, but also those remaining Holocaust survivors.
There are still some alive.
Would you donate?
Can you help provide food, water, basic necessities, medicine to Jewish communities?
Give a gift to show your support of the Jewish people by visiting supportifcj.org.
That's one word, supportifcj.org, or you can call 888-488-IFCJ.
888-488-IFCJ.
Oh, boy.
Stu Al Sharpton is very upset.
Very upset today.
Oh, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He is very upset that companies are dropping the enforcement of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
He said, why do we have DEI?
We have DEI because you denied us diversity.
You denied us equity.
You denied us inclusion.
If you want to put us in the back of the bus, we're going to do the Dr.
King Rosa Parks on you.
I don't know if that's a new dance move or what.
It's TikTok.
It's a TikTok dance.
It's a TikTok dance, yeah.
But you know what?
I really don't fear
Al Sharpton.
No.
You know, used to be a fear of Al Sharpton with some.
And now, I don't think you watch how insignificant that's going to be.
Americans have heard it all.
They've done it all.
They're not afraid of it anymore.
Oh, my gosh, they're marching in front of us calling us racist.
Oh my gosh.
Well, let's give them a little something to make them go away.
They don't go away.
Okay.
They don't go away.
You hire and you
take activists, bring them into
your company, or you play ball with those activist revolutionaries.
That's all you're going to have left in the end.
So congratulations with that.
Saw that.
Doesn't work.
No interest.
It's not going to make a difference.
It's a mindset change, right?
It is.
You know, I remember the first time Wii got like protested by one of these organizations and it was like, gosh, what's happening?
Like, wait a minute.
Like, I didn't understand it.
I mean, we came from a, you know, we had started a local radio show that wound up going national.
When you get to that level, these things start happening.
And then, like, I don't know, a few times.
After it occurs, you just roll your eyes.
You just roll your eyes.
Like, when I go on Twitter and you see someone saying something negative about you or whatever, like, you just don't, I mean, generally speaking, you just don't care.
Like, it comes and it goes, and you just get to that point where none of it makes any difference to you.
Yeah.
And it becomes a superpower because you just don't care about any of it.
And especially now, nobody cares about it.
Nobody cares about it.
You know, do you mind being called?
I mean, now people are wearing that as a badge of honor.
Oh, Al Sharpton.
Yeah, he came after me because
I believed in actual diversity,
because I believed in actual racism was bad.
I believed in that idea, and the best way to fight it is to forget about color and just look for merit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ooh, I'm scared.
It's not going to change anything.
Let me give you a couple of other things that Donald Trump.
In fact, I could go a full hour on just the things remaining that we haven't talked about in the last two hours of the things he's done in the last 24.
President Donald Trump declared
the global corporate minimum tax.
Did you know we had one?
Yeah.
The Biden administration signed us up for this one, a global minimal tax.
So, in other words, companies, we promise, we promise the whole world, we're never going to have a tax rate lower than 15%,
the global minimum tax, because that would be unfair.
And Donald Trump said, yeah, screw you, we're not doing that.
And let everybody know that
no, we're not going to do that.
Now, that doesn't mean we're going to have a tax lower than 15%.
Let's do it.
But we could.
Let's embrace it.
I'd love it.
I will say, when it comes to economic competition, I want to be unfair.
I want to be the country where everyone else is like, gosh, I got to get there.
How do we get involved with them?
Yes.
That's exactly who I want to be.
Yes.
Not to mention it really benefits the people here in the United States
more than all.
Now, not everybody agreed to it because after Biden agreed to it,
the Pillar One talks, that should really scare you.
This was Pillar One.
The Pillar One talks stalled because we just kind of lost interest, I guess, and countries Italy, France, and the UK, Spain, Turkey,
you know, weren't really excited about reinstating their digital taxes.
And now with Donald Trump in, there's no way they're going to do it.
So congratulations to the rest of the world.
We have helped set you free again.
Now,
Rand Paul has introduced some legislation to repeal Corporate Transparency Act.
This is
so important.
The CTA, Corporate
Transparency Act, we talked about this.
This is...
This will protect small businesses.
And it was signed into law as part of fiscal year 2021, the National Defense Authorization Act.
What does this have to do with national defense?
It requires individuals with an ownership interest in a limited liability company, an LLC, to disclose all their personal information to the U.S.
Treasury Department's financial crimes enforcement network.
And they go after American small business owners.
And any failure to comply could result in up to two years in prison and up to $10,000 per violation.
So they are repealing that, or at least that that has been introduced
because, you know, farmers, restaurants, gyms, law and service companies, all of these people,
I have to register with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Unit?
I don't think so.
No.
That's a big one.
And we talked a lot about
when it happened.
Yeah, that's a big, big, big one.
Pain.
A giant pain at the very least going away, hopefully.
All right.
Also,
an an update on the border.
The southern border apparently witnessed an outflow of persons
that came into the United States over the last four years.
I don't know if you heard that.
There was an outflow of persons.
Even on Inauguration Day,
illegal aliens were voluntarily deporting themselves and saying,
Yeah, you know, that's good, first of all.
That's that's you, if you're here illegally, you should leave.
You should leave and you should leave on your own.
Yes.
You know, it was interesting.
There's a poll Axios had today, which is the share of
Americans who agree with immigration policies like deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally, the number overall 66%.
So a popular
policy.
But the take from Axios is they they don't agree with the ways to do it, right?
And so they say, here are their examples of this.
Using active duty military to find undocumented immigrants, only
let's see, 38% agree with that.
Deporting immigrants that came to the U.S.
illegally as children, 34% agree.
Quickly deporting detained immigrants, even if it involves separating families or sending people to countries other than their country of origin, 34%.
Using money allocated to pay for the U.S.
military for deportation, 28%.
Deporting immigrants who are in the country legally, 11%.
Who the hell is talking about deporting people who are in the country legally?
And who's 27% or 25% there for that?
It was 11%.
Okay.
It's 11.
Right.
But like, are any of those, any of those policies really the policies you're talking about on a day-to-day basis?
There are waves of this, right?
It starts with, obviously, criminals that have committed other crimes.
Then you have people who come in contact with law enforcement for other things that they may have done.
Like if you are
busted, let's say, in
a raid of a factory,
those people would get deported now as opposed to just released and then they go to another factory, right?
Like those types of things are
the interactions that would lead to a deportation.
Like this, they're trying to paint this picture.
I heard all sorts of coverage on this this morning.
That like we're going to have military members going school to school to find children who are illegal immigrants and deport them.
That is not like that.
And what these policies are going to do, and what more likely, the overwhelming majority of these quote-unquote deportations are going to be of the self-deportation variety.
When people start seeing that, hey, I got pulled over for, you know, I got, because I got in a car accident or whatever, and
you know police came over and they investigated found out somehow that you know we're illegal immigrants you're gonna get deported for something like that well when people start seeing that they're gonna say like wait a minute there's no longer this giant welcome mat
for us to come here illegally right it's going to be too much stress on the family too much you know and they say what are we going to do with the children Take them back home with you.
Yeah, you shouldn't just leave them here.
Yeah, what is wrong with you?
Wait, like, what do you do when you leave?
I don't know, when you leave a park, you don't just leave them at the park.
What am I to do with the children when I take them to the park?
You take them home with you, right?
And that is what
a large portion of this will be people saying, you know, and when we talk about this, like
they say, oh, well, they're just coming here to do jobs that Americans just won't do.
You know, like when we say those jobs aren't here, they're not going to come.
Right?
When we're not rewarding companies for giving jobs to illegal immigrants who are paying them less than the minimum wage.
The majority of people are going to self-deport.
Also, the cities that are sanctuary cities are only making it worse.
Because if they won't turn over the criminals when they're released or they're in jail, if they won't do that, then they release them and our ICE needs to go find them.
And if they're hiding with a family and stuff like that or a different family, when we do find them, they'll bust everybody.
They'll bust everybody.
So, you know, any sanctuary city that's saying, we're not going to help ICE, you're only getting more people deported quicker.
And
you're not really helping.
Now, let me give you this from the Chicago Tribune.
When reports surfaced over the weekend that mass deportations could potentially begin in the Chicago area on Tuesday, Martin Ramos informed his boss he was taking time off from work.
He stocked up on groceries and decided his kids would skip soccer practice this week.
Ramos, who immigrated from Guadalajara, Mexico without the necessary work permits, spent the first full day of Donald Trump's second presidency hunkered down with his family trying to avoid being picked up by ICE agents.
An arrest, he knows, would destroy everything that he and his wife have worked for and force their two boys into an uncertain future.
Force their two boys into an uncertain future.
They're staying home from school because they play soccer and they can't play soccer.
We have to do everything possible to keep our children safe.
What will they do if we get deported?
They will go home with you.
ICE agents did not show up at the Joliet factory where Ramos and his wife both work on Tuesday, but fear inflicted upon the employees there was evident.
A co-worker told Ramos that only 10 out of the typical 40 to 50 workers showed up.
In Little Village, one of Chicago's largest Mexican immigrant communities, streets were mostly deserted and quiet.
Tamale vendors, a hardy group used to braving all kinds of weather, weren't lined up on the sidewalks.
The hardware store parking lots where day laborers searched for work were also largely empty.
So in other words, they're not hanging out with a sign that says, we'll work for food, we'll work for anything, and picked up by construction workers that don't want to pay union workers in Chicago.
Is that what I'm hearing from the Chicago Tribune?
The possibility of mass deportations have terrified some of the area's roughly 400,000 undocumented immigrants, prompting many to skip work, keep their kids out of school, and stay hidden until the promised raids end.
They're not going to end.
They are not
going to end.
Now,
Chicago is saying that they're not going to help at all.
That's okay.
That's okay.
Sunday, Mass at St.
Agnes of Bohemia Catholic Church was unusually empty.
And the the church personally advised a group of street vendors based on the southwest side to stay home during the week until they learned how ICE will operate.
Out of the 13 street vendors, only one was out there.
Most vendors declined to speak to the Tribune out of fear they might be identified and targeted.
People are hiding.
They call me and ask me what to do, but my hands are tied.
I don't think anyone knows what to do.
Yeah, here's what you do: you tell them to go home.
You tell them that this government is serious about applying the laws equally and holding on to those laws.
And you then tell all minorities in Chicago,
you know, I got to tell you, if your city continues to defy federal law, then your city's going to get funding cut off from the federal government.
Let the minorities know that they are embraced by the federal government, but due to the city and the state's stance on protection of those who come here illegally and took your jobs and receive things that Democrats would have never given to you or any other American, the federal government only has one lever and that is to shut off the funding to Chicago.
So recognize who the bad guy is here.
It's up to you, Chicago.
It's up to you to stand up.
Now, the question is, are you going to stand up with illegals?
Are you going to stand up for the absolute vast minority?
Are you going to stand up against the minorities in your city that are Americans?
Because they've been protesting this whole time saying, wait, why are we getting the shaft and these guys are getting hotel rooms and free food and everything else?
You never gave us any of that stuff.
Yeah, well, it's time for Chicago to wake up.
And these states are either going to be absolutely left behind or they're going to wake up.
And that goes for California, too.
And you're going to see that choice on on Friday.
Let me tell you about our sponsor.
It's Lifelock.
Do you hear about all the big data breaches that happened last year?
Loan Depot, the Evolve Bank and Trust, people like that.
Millions of records were stolen.
It means millions of people's data compromised.
If your information was among any of the set that has been opened up by information and identity thieves, Don't wait a second.
You're probably already compromised.
It's an important thing to understand that cybercrime is a part of your life.
LifeLock offers advanced, empowering monitoring of your identity, personally alerts you that any personal information is out there.
And if somebody is trying to use that personal information, they track hundreds of millions of data points every second to detect and alert you to a wide range of threats.

Oh, boy.
Oh, shoot.
Well, it looks like Mexico's not going to go along with us with the Gulf of America.
Darn it.
Shoot.
What are we going to do?
Well, we're going to print maps that say Gulf of America.
Move on.
Donald Trump responded and said,
we have a massive deficit with Mexico.
We help Mexico a lot, but they're run by cartels, and Mexico's in real trouble.
It's a very dangerous place.
And, you know, good luck to them.
But
we have the right to rename our Gulf whatever we want to.
So
sad to see Mexico.
You know, if I were a cartel
member right now, I think I would be checking out.
I think I might be saying, ah,
you know what?
I think I have enough money.
I'm going to leave this now.
Because when special forces, and believe me, I know some of the people that are involved,
and they won't talk to me or tell me anything, but other than, oh yeah, we're going to take them out.
And I know these people well enough to know, oh yeah, they're going to take them out.
You have no idea what's coming your way, cartels.
You have no idea.
I might stop pissing off the United States of America because this time the sheriff is back and this time he's pissed.
All right,
yeah, Glenn.
I got it.
I know that.
Why does he keep telling me that?
Your dog doesn't know the difference between healthy and unhealthy food, but his body does.
When you're feeding him dry kibble food, for instance, it's telling him everything in it is dead.
It's empty.
Kibble food has to be sterilized for a long shelf life.
That means your dog's body is missing out on key things it needs.
You need something that brings his food back to life and gives him all of the vitamins and probiotics and enzymes and omega oils, antioxidants that your dog needs.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Right after Donald Trump raised his hand and took the oath of office, some things began to happen.
One of the first steps he took, didn't really get a lot of attention, was his firing of four leaders of the Executive Office of Immigration Review.
He let these people go right away.
Bye-bye.
The DOJ bylines, their
bios, no longer active.
They were just gone.
And
this is the president trying to remake American
immigration and the way we operate with illegals
and the way we oversee things in courts.
He's changing all that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He promised that.
I don't know if you, did you miss that?
Also, yesterday, he pardoned the founder of the Silk Road, Robert Ulbrich.
Now,
Robert is a guy who
really early on in the internet, he,
yeah, sorry, Ross.
He is a guy that
started this online,
I don't even know what's like a marketplace.
Silk Road, yeah.
Right.
And, you know, it could sell drugs and, you know, and people, it was just, I think it was kind of like Craigslist, wasn't it?
Where you could post and people could buy and sell.
It was a Craigslist that used Bitcoin as the payment service and
or currency, I guess.
So it was used at times for things like drugs.
It also also had all lots of other things.
But not him.
But not him.
Yeah.
I don't know.
He didn't.
Yeah, that wasn't what he was.
That wasn't what he was putting.
You don't get put in jail for as long as he was just for that.
Right.
And, but he was somebody who said, you know, people should have control of their own bodies.
He's a libertarian.
Yeah.
People should have control of their own bodies and put in their bodies what they want.
And so they were, you know, prescription drugs and everything else were available online.
Now, what do you get for that?
Well, he's been in prison now for 10 years.
and
he was pardoned now and his sentence commuted because he got two life sentences plus 40 years.
That's insane.
Come on.
That's absolutely insane.
It was very, very long.
And now it's not.
It's over.
Yeah.
And he's walked out.
He's out of prison.
Can you imagine that?
After 10 years in prison, facing two life sentences and 40 years, you're never getting out.
I mean, he had children and everything else.
Now he's out.
Yeah.
My understanding is you get even just the one life sentence and theoretically, you're never getting out.
I never understand why the second one's there.
Because they know that life sentence doesn't mean life sentence.
You have to spend, what are you, a cat?
Two life sentences and 40 years.
Come on.
Trump's SEC
is now launching a crypto task force.
This is going to be very good for cryptocurrency.
He is finally moving the SEC and saying you have to come up with a regulatory framework that is clear, concise,
and regulates things so we know exactly where the government is going.
That's been one of the problems
with cryptocurrency is we didn't know where cryptocurrency really sat with the United States government.
Well, they're going to define it, and I don't think they're going to define it in a way that's going to make Bitcoin go down.
I wouldn't think so.
Elizabeth Warren is not on the committee.
Oh, really?
Like, she's not going to be heading this up.
She's wanted to head this up the entire time to destroy it.
And that has not been the way.
And, you know, I think like
Trump understands, I think, now the importance of this.
He is obviously involved in it.
He had a lot of donors who were there.
He's worked with a lot of people who care about it.
And like, you know, Putting something together that's smart, that allows this to still be an innovative field, that allows it to be as dynamic as possible.
And to let the United States lead the world in this emerging technology is something he's trying to do, seemingly with AI as well.
Really, really important.
And if they can nail this, which is, of course, not always easy when it comes to legislation, but if they can nail this, it's going to be really, really good, not only for the industry, but also America.
So
they're now saying, who was it that said yesterday it's going to be in the millions?
The coins will be, Bitcoin will be in the millions.
Yeah, millions to several millions.
That was Brian Armstrong.
He's the CEO of Coinbase.
Now, Brian is like not, because you can find people saying Bitcoin's going to a million tomorrow all over the internet.
You know, Brian is much more balanced than that.
Has an interest in cryptocurrencies, obviously.
And them going up is obviously good for him.
But this is a really smart guy.
A guy, by the way, who was way ahead of all of the DEI and politics at work and all of that.
That company led the way on that.
And they said, look,
you can
volunteer on the weekends to go out and be an activist all you want.
Don't worry about Monday through Friday.
We're not doing any of that crap as a company.
We are a company that works on this thing, our product.
That's what we care about.
They led the way on that, and it seems like now a lot of companies are coming that way.
Well, cryptocurrency was up 106,000.
It's come down just a bit.
It's 104,000 per Bitcoin.
That's remarkable.
It's down to 104,000 something.
Wait until
when they finally put the framework in, that's going to be another reason why people are going to start coming in as, you know, industrial investors.
And then
I really believe the United States should
and will start to invest itself in Bitcoin.
You know, we have a bunch of Bitcoin now, not a ton, but it's all the stuff that we were.
we had taken from criminals.
Yep.
And our government was just going to flood the market with it, stupidly, sell it.
Hold it.
To get its own fiat currency that they know they're going to print money to debase.
I think Trump, I don't know what the odds of this are.
I know I've seen, there's some markets on it, what the odds of a strategic Bitcoin reserve are.
And I think that would be a great move.
We've seen this.
Obviously, El Salvador's done this.
A few countries have done this now.
Will it become
strategic?
Oh, that's the Texas ones.
I'm trying to see if there's one.
I don't see one
on Bitcoin particularly, but that a strategic Bitcoin reserve where, let's see, here we go, 64% chance is what the markets are saying on a national Bitcoin reserve this year.
If that happens,
Bitcoin will double overnight.
Well, number one, it will go up a lot.
Number two, a lot of countries will follow us.
Yes.
Like once we make that statement, and this is the time Trump can do this,
and we already have the Bitcoin, which doesn't mean that we have to necessarily add, though.
I think that would be wise for the country to do.
I think it would be wise if the United States quietly began buying it right now.
Oh, yeah.
We should have been doing it the whole time.
And some countries, by the way, are buying it quietly, not necessarily talking about it.
But this is a way to offset all of the dumb policies that the next 10 administrations might put in when it comes to debasing the currency.
Yes.
I really hope that we do that.
And that's one that Trump can really, I think, get over the finish line this year.
Also, he has unleashed American fossil fuels.
There are people that say they're going to sue him over this, but he's declared a national emergency to accelerate the permitting of oil, gas, and power projects.
He is going to use it.
It's development in Alaska.
He's reversed all of Biden's stuff to protect Arctic lands and coastal waters from drilling.
He revoked the EV adoption.
He suspended offshore wind lease sales.
Those things are killing the whales.
Just the vibration of that, you know, what a surprise, a consequence you didn't see coming is killing the whales.
He also lifted the freeze on LNG export permitting, which is absolutely fantastic.
There's also some other things that he has done to unleash American energy.
Section 2F in this says, it is the policy of the United States to safeguard the American people's freedom to choose from a variety of goods and appliances, including but not limited to light bulbs, dishwashers, washing machines, gas stoves, water heaters, toilets, and showerheads to promote market competition and innovation in between in within the manufacturing and appliance industries.
So all of the, I don't know if you know this, but your shower head, if you had a new showerhead, there was a regulator in that.
And it's what made your shower really, really wimpy because we have to save water.
Well, if you want to save water, save water.
I'm paying for my water, so I'm going to pay for it.
Oh, how dare you, you evil bastard.
Yeah, I'm going to.
In fact, I'm going to tell you the truth.
I went inside my shower head and took that little piece out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not saying I did that.
Well, I lost that piece in the lake.
I was going to put it right back.
I was trying to clean it.
Oh, yeah.
I was trying to clean it and I lost it in the lake.
You were always meticulous about that.
Yeah, I know.
You'd think just because it's like water, it's actually just water
that you're going to bathe yourself with is hitting it.
Why would it need to be clean?
I really wanted it clean, super, super clean.
But the good thing is, while I lost that in the lake, I found my guns.
I found my guns.
So you were looking for the piece from the shower head and then you found the guns?
No, I was just
finding the right place to lose, I mean, to
show it.
Oh.
To show it.
I was going to hold it over and say, look, little fishies, look at this is.
And I slipped and I dropped that shower piece.
Darn it.
And then did you go down to get that and then found the guns?
Yeah, found the guns.
Never found the shower piece.
Darn it.
Darn it.
Trump also has signed an executive order to crack down on pro-terrorist college students.
Now, this is going to, this is so hateful.
Just so hateful.
If a student group explicitly endorses terrorism or engages in criminality and its leader is here on a a visa, then that student doesn't deserve to be here benefiting from the country that he or she is assaulting.
Likewise, if a protester is explicitly endorsing terrorism or ideologically motivated crime and is here on a visa, they also will be removed.
I don't know.
It's
boy, he's crazy.
He is crazy.
Ted Cruz also introduced a bill expanding tax-deferred educational savings plans.
So, you know, you got, you got,
there is, there is so much
going on, and it's just fantastic.
It does feel like a lot of it's almost being lost, right?
Like, you know, we talked yesterday about the, the, the Paris Accord and, you know, the, the, the two genders situation.
Um, you know, there's so much that I think honestly we're missing a lot of it.
You know,
we didn't even, we didn't even talk about the fact that we have halted all U.S.
aid to countries until we can get our arms around it.
Did you know that?
We've halted all U.S.
aid to
all countries?
I believe so.
I believe so.
Until we figure out what's going on.
Until we can figure out exactly what's going on.
Like Iraq.
I mean, I love sending money to Iraq, especially now that they just passed the law to allow for child marriages.
But, you know.
Was that Iraq?
I thought that was somewhere else.
No, that was Iraq.
That's not the nine-year-old one, is it?
Iraq's parliament passed three divisive new laws, including amendments to the country's personal status law that opponents say will affect legalized child marriage.
The amendments give the Islamic courts increased authority over family matters, including marriage, divorce, and inheritance.
Iraqi law currently sets 18 as the minimum age of marriage in most cases.
The changes passed would let clerics rule according to their interpretation of Islamic law, which interprets marriage of girls in the early teens or as young as
nine.
There is nothing like a 30-year-old guy marrying a nine-year-old.
I mean, that's perfectly in line with God.
That's a quote from Chic Jared from Subway.
I didn't know he'd become a sheikh.
Yeah, yeah, that's interesting.
He's been busy.
Relief factor changed my life during a period where I didn't think anything could.
I had such pain in my hands, I didn't think I could.
I mean, I wasn't going to write or paint ever again.
And I can't wait to get home tonight after the show and do some painting.
I haven't done it in the last couple of weeks just because I haven't been around.
But Relief Factor has really helped my pain and it could help yours as well.

The truth.
Stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm.

Today, para sabermás.
Welcome to the Lenbeck program.
Hey, Stu, what do you think of this?
It's a business idea just for the drug cartel areas in Mexico.
And I'm offering this as a franchise, okay?
Coffins.com.
I think it could be a big, I think it's a growth area in the cartel, in the cartel parts of
Mexico.
Really?
Yeah.
Coffins.com.
Just looking for an expanding new marketplace?
I am.
I'm looking for some entrepreneurs that see the drug cartels as maybe a potential revenue source for coffins.
I don't know.
What do you think?
What do you think?
That's going to be interesting.
Yeah.
I think it does seem like that's something that Donald Trump is not a fan of.
He's not a fan of the cartels.
No.
Not a fan.
Now, the Mexican president.
There's a lot of people that are fans of the cartels.
There There are plenty.
Yeah.
Across the world.
But he has
an
abnormally large distaste for them.
Let's put it that way.
He really hates it.
You know, seeing that we lost 300,000 children, don't come preaching to me about the children and how humane you are for keeping these borders open.
300,000 children have been lost.
Where do you think they are?
And 60% of those who are coming over, women and children,
pretty much belong to the cartel.
So I don't know.
I think we should stop empowering them.
And I am all for
killing all of them.
I don't know how Mexico is going to feel about that.
You know, the Mexican government has to be against it, but there's got to be a lot of people that don't want to answer to the cartels anymore.
There's got to be a way.
I mean, look, there's got to be a way to do this without...
You know, we're not looking to
start international wars.
With Mexico, I don't think they're going to.
Yeah, I'm not looking to start a war with anybody.
No, I know.
I mean, yeah, I know that.
We're just taking care of our own because you won't take care of it.
Right.
And there's got to be a way to do that, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's called airplanes and special forces.
You just go in and shoot them and then get out.
That'll be really interesting to watch.
It will be fascinating to see how the world reacts to that.
You think it's going to do that?
Uh-huh.
I do.
And I think it's coming to a country near us soon.
This is Glenn Beck.
