EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk Returns from Greenland & Explains Trump’s Plan | Guest: Charlie Kirk | 1/8/25

2h 10m
Greenland, the Panama Canal, and Canada. Is Trump serious about all these territories becoming part of America? Glenn outlines what he believes Trump is doing with all of these territories. Glenn explains how Trump’s confidence is one of his greatest strengths. Glenn and Stu continue to discuss Trump’s intent to take back the Panama Canal and why it’s in America’s best interest, while also going through the history of Panama and America’s involvement. Glenn and Stu expose CNN pathetically altering the headline of an article that began as truth but was too optimistic about Donald Trump. Why was Beyoncé allowed to do a football halftime show while her husband is accused of horrific crimes against children? The CEO of YouTube has labeled the site as a free-speech platform, but Glenn’s own experience with the site begs to differ. TPUSA founder and CEO Charlie Kirk flew to Greenland with Donald Trump Jr., and he joins the program for an exclusive interview to share what the trip entailed.

Down the road where shadows hide, till 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 Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.

Big show.

I'm going to try to make sense of the whole Canada 51st state, Greenland,

Hamas, you're in trouble.

Oh, and Panama, we need the canal back.

I'm going to make sense of all of that here in 60 seconds.

Standby first.

Wayne wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor.

He said, I've been suffering from a lot of pain in my back and my right foot for over two decades.

I tried a bunch of different things to make it go away, but really nothing worked.

Then about a year ago, I heard Glenn, I don't know who he's talking about, but whoever it is, he sounds handsome, talking about Relief Factor.

And I thought, I'd give it a shot.

Not only did my pain go away, it stayed away ever since.

Thank you, Glenn, and thank you, Relief Factor.

You got it.

I'm so glad that you just tried it out.

That's all it's required.

And they even tell you it doesn't work for everybody.

So just try it for three weeks.

Take it exactly as directed.

It's $19.95 right now, 100% drug-free.

All you have to do is just go to relieffactor.com.

ReliefFactor.com or call 800 for relief.

800, the number for relief.

Well, hello, Stu.

How are you?

Glenn, perfect.

How about yourself?

Oh,

my

goodness.

I'm good.

Spent some time yesterday

with an ultrasound machine.

It was very exciting.

I thought I had a Charlie horse.

Yeah, I thought I had a Charlie horse the last couple of days.

And you said to me yesterday off air,

the Charlie horses don't last.

And I'm like, yeah, they do.

You don't know, Stu.

And

I never heard of a person having a Charlie horse for multiple days before.

I mean, well, you know,

yeah, anyway, apparently that's a sign of a blood clot.

Don't get old, kids.

Don't get old.

And just to make it even more fun, they said, actually, you don't look, you don't appear to be somebody who like would clot blood, you know?

And I'm like, oh, okay, thank you.

I guess I, do I get a gold star for that?

I said, yeah, it's just you have a problem with your knee that's crushing some of your veins, and that's what's causing the clots.

And I'm like, oh,

good,

good.

So

can I get out of here now?

So, yes.

So, everything, you know, what worked out, you know, when you hear blood clot, you think, that could go right to my heart or my brain and kill me or give me a stroke.

Now, apparently, apparently, no.

I mean, it can happen, but it doesn't usually.

And important lesson, kids, I want to start the show with.

Charlie horses don't last two days.

Just

want you to know.

All the science you need right here.

All the science you need.

Maybe you should be HHS secretary.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The surgeon general has come out today and said, hey, Charlie horses don't last a couple of days.

Okay, so

let's start with Greenland, shall we?

Greenland, Panama, and Canada.

I have to tell you, let's start with his Donald Trump's

press conference yesterday.

They are always fun.

Cut one.

This is a Greenland man.

So like if you could tell Trump anything, what would it be?

Buy us.

Buy Greenland?

Buy Greenland.

Why do you want Trump to buy Greenland?

Because we don't want to be colonized by Danish government anymore.

We get ripped every year about

our minerals from Greenland.

We are the richest nation in the world and we don't get to use it that much, using us too much.

Do you like America?

I love America.

But people are too familiar with the

right.

Okay, so stop.

So

here's the thing.

Greenland, they've got like 12 people and Denmark owns it.

And

they have no intention of giving it up.

But

it's like Alaska.

I mean, it is rich with rare earth minerals.

As he said, it's the richest nation in the world, but Denmark won't let anything be explored.

It is also a strategic place for bases, et cetera, et cetera.

There's been like four or five presidents that have tried to buy Greenland in the past, and it's never been done.

I'm going to get to why all of this makes sense here in a second and how you're supposed to read it, because he also went in yesterday about Canada.

And they asked him,

Would you rule out military strikes to take Alaska?

Here's his response.

No.

Economic force.

Because Canada and the United States, that would really be something.

You get rid of that artificially drawn line and you take a look at what that looks like.

And it would also be much better for national security.

Don't Don't forget, we basically protect Canada.

Okay.

So he's just, all he's doing is, well, let me say, let me give you the third one, and that is

Panama.

But before we get to Panama, why not stop at the Gulf of America, Cut 3?

Mexico is really in trouble, a lot of trouble.

Very dangerous place.

And we're going to be announcing at a future date, pretty soon, we're going to change because we do most of the work there and it's ours.

We're going to be changing sort of the opposite of Biden where he's closing everything up, essentially getting rid of $50 to $60 trillion worth of assets.

We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

which has a beautiful ring that covers

a lot of territory.

The Gulf of America, what a beautiful name.

And it's appropriate.

It's appropriate.

And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.

They can stop them.

And we're going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada, because Canada, they come through Canada too, and the drugs that are coming through are at record numbers.

Okay.

So now the press is freaking out.

This is an imperialist president.

He's trying to create new Rome.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Do you have absolutely no brain cells that work in your head anymore?

The final one is Panama.

And I've told you this.

In fact, I'm doing a prediction show tonight.

And I've been telling you for the last few weeks, Panama is going to be a problem for the United States.

And there is going to be...

There's going to be some serious things happening in Panama this year, and I'll get into that a little later.

But he's also talking about the Panama Canal.

Okay, why is that?

Because he

wants to take over all these countries and these places?

He wants war everywhere?

No.

No.

The one thing you have to understand about Donald Trump is he's a negotiator.

He's merely negotiating.

That's all that's happening here.

You

speak softly and carry a very large stick.

Hey, Mexico, by the way, you're so irrelevant.

You know, you're going down the tubes.

We're even thinking about changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

That's how irrelevant you are, okay?

And you've got some serious problems.

It's a very dangerous place.

Well,

there goes tourism if the president keeps saying things like that.

And, you know, we're going to have to put some tariffs on it.

But, you know,

I just think the Gulf of America is just a beautiful, beautiful name.

All he's doing is signaling,

you're a speed bump to me.

I don't need to do anything.

I've just got these giant tariffs and we'll probably end up owning you anyway because you're a failing state.

Okay.

He's negotiating.

He's setting the table.

On Greenland, the same thing.

He's just setting the table.

He is saying to Greenland, you know, I think we should take it.

Now, is he serious on that one?

Yes, not take it, but buy it.

Is he serious?

Yes.

And it would be,

I got to use a word that, you know, the New York Times has been talking about for a long time.

They just used it in a different context.

It would be a huge coup if Donald Trump could buy Greenland.

It would be huge for America.

All the rare earth minerals and everything else, all of the riches of Greenland and the strategic placement of Greenland would be a very, very smart move.

Again, New York Times, Glenn Beck did say Donald Trump would pull off a coup.

I mean it in a different context than you worry about.

That is smart.

And if we could buy it, great.

If we could just negotiate to have some bases there and to be able to

sell and buy some of their rare earth minerals, that would be very smart and strategic.

Now, Canada.

Okay.

Canada is

being the 51st state.

Okay.

Would it be great to have all of us combined?

Greenland, Canada, the United States combined?

Yes.

A 51st state?

No.

No.

Canada responded with, well, maybe we'll buy Alaska and Minnesota.

All right, let's open up those talks.

How much for Alaska?

I'm willing to negotiate.

And I tell you what, negotiate for Alaska.

I'd give you Minnesota for a sandwich.

So I'm good.

All he's doing there is, again, throwing out a big idea.

negotiating because

you're not paying for your own defense.

We are paying for your defense.

What are we getting

in return?

Well, right now we're getting open borders from you in Canada, and we're getting a lot of crap from you, too.

So

we're still friends.

We still like Canada.

We're not going to take military action to take Canada.

It's not what he's doing.

He is again negotiating.

If you forget that Donald Trump is possibly the greatest negotiator to be in our lifetime, you might begin to understand what he's doing here.

But if you forget that he's a deal maker,

that's what he does.

He walks in and says, you know what, I'm going to vaporize that little dude over.

And then they end up having tea in a communist country.

That's negotiation.

What is he doing with Russia?

What is he doing right now?

The only place I think he's absolutely clear.

I mean, he doesn't

make threats.

He makes promises.

And he's not threatening anything but Panama, which we'll get into here in just a second.

Panama is a problem, a real problem.

And we need to talk about that.

The other real problem is Hamas.

And yesterday, he said about Hamas that there's going to be hell to be paid.

Hamas doesn't release those hostages.

The gates of hell are going to open up.

And I believe him.

The thing is, with a negotiator, you have to be able to see...

I mean, Trump always kind of means things.

You don't win.

You don't become a good negotiator if the people on the other side always think you're bluffing because you always are.

That's why America is in the dumpster fire we're in right now, because the rest of the world just thinks that, you know, oh, you know what?

Well, don't do this, or we're going to give you a strongly worded letter.

If the world or anybody sitting across from the negotiating table from you, whether this is in your life or in global politics, if they believe you're someone who will do what they say,

you have all the negotiating power.

Because, you know what, I would love to work here,

but I can't work here and I won't work here unless these things happen.

He's just negotiating.

Really?

Watch me walk out and I will.

And no offense, no problems.

I don't hate you.

You shouldn't hate me.

I'm not trying to hold a gun to your head.

I'm just saying

I can do better and these things are a requirement for me.

When Donald Trump says, look, you're going to have to close the border, he means that.

Now, when he says, we're also going to, you know what, we might just annex Mexico or Canada.

That's part of the negotiation process.

Because,

honestly, he just might do it.

This is the kind of president we have always wanted.

One that is a hard negotiator.

on our side,

on our side.

When he says America first, he means it which brings me back to Panama when you understand Panama you'll understand Donald Trump entirely and you will look at Donald Trump in a completely different way

I'll explain in 60 seconds first

let me tell you about real estate agents I trust calm

I started this company, I don't know, 10 years ago.

We've done billions of dollars in business now.

And

we don't charge you.

I don't charge you for this service.

This is a free service.

You call, and we pass on the name of a real estate agent.

And that real estate agent is the one that we have vetted.

We have looked at.

I started doing business with the 500

most successful real estate agents in the country, a list according to the Wall Street Journal.

And I learned from them and I learned their best practices.

I learned what they did that sets them apart.

And then we went to look.

Is there more than 500 of them?

Yes, but you have to know what you're looking for.

So, all I do is you tell us where you're looking to buy or sell, and we'll find the real estate agent in your area that you can trust to do the job, do it right, get you the most amount of money for your home into the next home for the least amount of money, whether you are

moving across the street or across the country.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

Go there now, realestate agentsitrust.com.

10 seconds station ID.

All right.

Panama.

We know of Panama Canal as the place that we built.

It was the biggest undertaking.

It was probably the biggest human achievement at the time.

Making a canal so you didn't have to go all the way down

to South America, to the tip of South America, almost to Antarctica, and come back to the

to get to the Pacific Ocean or to get to the Atlantic if you're going the other direction.

We made the Panama Canal.

Teddy Roosevelt was the one who did it.

Jimmy Carter sold it to Panama for a dollar.

Now, when you make a deal like that,

you don't expect to be screwed afterwards.

You know, you kind of have like, hey, favored nation, you know, you're going to be our pal.

Well, Panama has been paling up with China.

And the president of Panama had just said,

there are no Chinese at the canal.

Nobody is, no, no, there are no Chinese soldiers in the canal.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

So Donald Trump on Christmas sent a message, again,

negotiating letting everyone know where he stands Merry Christmas to all including the wonderful soldiers of China who are lovingly but illegally operating the penan the Panama Canal

now if you don't know anything about the Panama Canal you might think this is crazy

this is this shows how much homework Donald Trump has done

This shows that this is the first time I have seen since maybe Reagan where we are are actually

talking about our national security, not in a reactive way.

We have now a president who's looking at real national, our national security is not in Ukraine.

Our national security is here at the home front.

And

why is he so obsessed with Panama?

It's just not that we're having our eyes pushed into our heads and being gouged.

It is also because China

has purchased a lot of the Panama Canal operating permits.

So, in other words, the one that is the last, I think Locke, I don't know enough about it, but the last area of the Panama Canal going into the Pacific, it's now run by a Chinese company.

Now, Is that honestly Chinese soldiers?

No,

no.

But it is the People's Liberation Army that can take over that business because that's the deal.

Do you really think all of these investors just got together on their own, which doesn't happen in China, and went, you know what, we should buy up all of the land surrounding the Panama Canal?

It would be a good idea, but good investment for us.

No.

And Glenn, clarification on that, we were okay with Hong Kong taking it over, not China.

Yes.

It was before that transition happened.

So we were like, okay, Hong Kong, we're working with them all the time.

Okay.

And then China basically takes over Hong Kong and now China has it.

We weren't okay with China having it even back then.

Yeah.

You cannot have, this is a huge strategic asset.

If our fleet, our Atlantic fleet, needs to get over to the other side and into the Pacific,

You want them to get there as quickly as possible, and that's why we built the Panama Canal.

This is a Cuban missile crisis moment, and this is honestly,

it might even go back to JFK, to where you have a president who is forward-thinking enough to go, this is a real threat to our national security, an actual threat to our national security.

All they have to do is close the Panama Canal or cause trouble at the Panama Canal.

And the United States is in real, real trouble.

So

the one that you should pay attention to that is actually trouble is the Panama Canal.

The rest of it negotiation.

Glenn Beck.

All righty, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Every day, the IFCJ is doing vital work to provide for the security needs of the Israelis, both in the Holy Land and around the world.

Look, I don't want to go in and fight Israel's war.

I'm not going to do that.

I'm not for that.

I am for letting them fight their own wars.

I'm for standing up for Jewish people and saying, hey, you know what?

They have a right to exist.

I want to back them on, I don't know, actual history.

There's never been a Palestinian state, okay?

Never.

It's called Judea for a reason, Because there were Jews there.

Anyway, they have problems.

All I want to do is support the people and give the hand of friendship and love that Christians owe to them as our brothers and sisters.

They can't do it alone.

They need your help.

Support Israel and her people.

It's critical.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

So

another thing you can learn from Donald Trump today, if you're a business person,

is

how you control a room.

You know, when Donald Trump walks into a room before,

before he was the president of the United States,

the room stopped.

I remember because I met him back in 2010 or something, 2008.

And when he walked into the room full of celebrities and high-powered business people, the room stopped.

Okay.

It is his mere presence that changes things.

Have you noticed how he's just assumed the office of the president of the United States?

It's like he's not sworn in, but you would swear if you were watching, he's the president.

Yeah, he's the one doing the press conferences.

He's the one talking about policy.

He's seemingly the president of the United States right now, two weeks before he's supposed to be.

And if you remember right, Barack Obama tried to do this.

He came up with a new seal that looked like the presidential seal and said president-elect of the United States of America.

He put it on his podium.

You can't do that.

You don't just make up your own seal.

And so he tried to give all the trappings of it and tried to make himself legitimate.

Donald Trump just walks in and does a press conference with the flags behind him, and he just

acts as though he's president, and everybody just goes along with it.

He doesn't need anything, but his presence.

He doesn't need anything except the attitude.

Let me tell you a story of something I learned that is absolutely amazing.

My wife and I, and I think, Stu, you might have been with me.

Yeah.

My wife and I were going to Pittsburgh and we're on the way from some other event.

I don't remember, some speaking event.

And I was flying home

when I lived in New York and flying home, but we're flying over Pittsburgh.

And Brooks and Dunn, who were big fans,

said, hey, why don't you come to our concert if you can stop by in Pittsburgh?

If you can just land and go to our concert, we'd love to meet you.

And you can even watch the show from backstage.

Okay.

So

we're trying to get out into the airport on time so we can get to this concert.

And the speech ran long or something happened.

And so we were running really far behind, but the concert hadn't started yet.

We land.

We're just making it by the razor's edge.

And we get there.

And of course, it's before a concert.

So there's this huge line of cars.

My head of security at the time

looked at the Uber driver and said, yeah, just put on your emergencies and go into the other lane.

Now, this is the oncoming traffic lane.

All right.

Now, there's no oncoming traffic because of all the roadblocks and everybody was turning into this place way up.

So it wasn't like there were cars coming at us.

But he said, yeah, just put on your

emergencies and just drive in the other lane.

And the driver looked at him and said, I can't do that.

And he's like, oh yeah, yeah, you can.

Just put it on.

Now he spoke with such authority.

He didn't have a badge.

He had nothing.

He just acted as if, yeah,

we do this all the time.

And the driver just went along with it.

So the driver is driving now on the other side of the road.

And we get up to the front of the line.

And we're trying to go in not to the regular parking, but to this special entrance for the backstage.

And it's just chaos and confusion up there.

And head of security gets out of the car.

And as he does, he says, look, those traffic cones, I'm going to move those traffic cones.

You just drive through.

And he's like,

there are cops everywhere here.

And do we have a pass for this?

He's like, no, no, no.

It's okay.

They know we're coming.

And they did, but we didn't have a pass.

We had nothing official.

And so he gets out of the car.

And I'm like, this is what he's insane.

What is he doing?

And he goes and he picks up a couple of the traffic cones.

And the cop comes over and says, hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?

Now, this is a police officer.

Comes over and says, hey, what are you doing?

He says, I got a couple of guests in that car.

They need to get in through here.

They need to go backstage.

And the cop says well you you can't do that you have a you have a uh you know a permit or anything that you can show me and he's like no and he keeps while the talk cop is talking to him he's still picking up the traffic cones

and the cop is like uh i don't i don't think now i'm in the car dying i'm like okay we can't let's not go to jail or let's what are you doing and uh He continues to pick up the traffic cones.

The cop is telling him you can't do that.

And he's like, no, really, it's okay.

And then he points to the driver and says, come on in, come on through.

My guy says, just come on through.

And the cop just throws up his hands like, okay,

shakes his head and walks away.

My guy puts the traffic cones back.

We're backstage.

It was the most incredible thing ever.

And we got into the car and I said, what the hell just happened?

And he said, Glenn,

even people with badges or authority, if you just walk in, show absolute confidence, like you know what you're doing,

you are supposed to be here, most people will just go, oh,

okay, go ahead.

That's what Donald Trump is doing.

He's walked in,

President of the United States.

I don't need the oath of office.

I mean, you know, that's a formality and I'm going to, you know, I play by the rules here.

I'm not actually usurping any powers, but I'm just, I'm the president now.

And most people are like,

well, yeah, he's the president now.

It's the most amazing thing.

Donald Trump is a genius.

He is truly a genius.

He's really good at that, and he does.

He just wrestles the attention of the world away at a whim, whenever he wants it.

It's really an incredible skill.

Amazing.

Now, amazing.

Part of this might be that the actual president technically is still Joe Biden.

And there's

like, what is Joe Biden doing right now?

He's not doing press conferences.

He did do an interview yesterday where he was asked, Hey, what about the Hunter Biden pardon that you did?

You know, you think that might be open to abuse in the future because of what you did?

He says, I hope not.

Goes on, kind of describes it, and he says, Look, he was fighting a drug problem and he beat it.

He's been square and sober for almost six years now.

These tax problems and stuff, that was back in 1980.

I mean, excuse me, in 2000.

And

what year was it?

Wait.

Anyway, long time ago.

Now, the correct answer was 2017 and 2018.

So he thought it was 1980 or 2000.

So there is a little bit of an asterisk here, but I don't think who the president was.

He's going to take over the room.

So I think that you're right on that, that it does take a power vacuum.

It takes a bunch of people who don't have control of the situation.

They're not in control or they don't believe they're in control of the situation.

You know what I mean?

Somebody walks in with an alpha dog attitude and you're like, okay, he's in charge.

You know what I mean?

And

that's absolutely what he's doing.

And he's doing this with Mexico.

He's doing with Panama.

He's doing it with...

Do you think he's really the

Canada thing?

He's trolling Trudeau

at the same time, instead of saying, I've got tariffs that are going to hurt the people of Canada so much, why not just say, while trolling, why not just say, you know what?

You guys should be the 51st state.

We love you.

You love us.

You got a lot of great things going for you.

We'll give you a couple of senators.

Why don't you come in and join the family?

That's so much better than being the guy who's like, I'm going to screw your people so bad.

I mean, it's great.

It's amazing.

And he has this unique power to do this and do it in the way that he does it.

The other thing too that struck me, Glenn, remember back in like the late 90s or so, after Madonna had been around for a million years, you know, she's already been a star for 15 years or whatever.

And she would still come out with stuff and, you know, quote unquote reinvent herself and still sort of like wrestle the entire pop culture world to like pay attention to her.

She was at the point, if I remember right, this is past the just I'm an average skank to I'm really icky and probably disease-ridden, but somehow or another I can still make you make a pay attention to me, right?

Is it that period?

There's a bunch of periods in there.

There's a bunch of different vibes.

Like remember, she even had like the elegant, I'm going to sing slow and nice dresses phase.

She had

the sex book phase, which I think is the one you're referring to.

Yeah, that's the disease era.

Nice dresses was the, you're a skank, but I don't know, not so bad.

And she went through all of these things.

And every time, you'd kind of like, I remember after she'd fade away, you'd be like, okay, like that was an experience and now we're done.

And then she'd come out again.

You'd be like, is she trying this again?

And she yet again would wrestle away the nation's attention somehow.

It's different, but similar in a way with Trump.

Like, you'd think after him being around, I mean, he came down.

I was in New York the other, a few weeks ago, over vacation.

We went to Trump Tower.

We saw the escalator.

Like, you know, I was taking my kids around.

They saw the big picture.

They took pictures in front of the big Donald Trump photo inside.

Gosh, I never thought of that.

I should do that.

It's worth it.

I've never been there.

Because you've seen it so many times

with the video with him coming down those escalators.

And you go in there and

it

takes you to this whole thing.

You're like, this has been now.

10 years.

I mean, that was 10 years ago that happened.

And he's basically been able to dominate the news coverage every single time he's wanted to since then.

I mean, and he had it obviously before that, too, in the 80s and 90s and going on.

But that is an incredible skill.

I mean, I don't know anyone else who's able to do that.

And he continues to do it.

And like, you'd think, okay, we've already been through this.

He's president already.

He's already been president.

He's already done a lot of these things where he's talked these big, you know, this big game, as you pointed out, kind of like in a negotiation sense.

And you'd think people would be be like okay well you know he's just trolling trudeau they don't it immediately turns into

hey what would the mechanism be of them becoming a 51st state

it's like how does this happen

okay so here's another this another thing you need to understand about donald trump he is a uh he went to church with uh norman vincent pee You know who that is?

No, yeah.

He's the kind of like speak it into existence type of guy.

Yes.

Positive power, positive thinking.

Right.

Yes.

And so that's what he does.

Instead of talking about the negatives on things like this, he just states, I mean, would he take Canada as a 51st state?

Yes.

Would is he serious about that?

I mean, he'd take it.

It'd be great.

Might as well throw that out there.

Sure.

You want to join us?

Join us.

Is he willing to do, you know, military over?

Absolutely not.

Greenland, would he love that?

Yes.

Is he going to use military force?

No.

He's speaking that into existence.

Okay.

He did this.

He's serious about Greenland.

And he would love to buy it, but that's a deal.

That's like walking by somebody's house and saying, man, I'd love to buy that house.

Hey, is your house for sale?

Because I'm going to own it one day.

That's what he's doing.

Okay.

to see if there's any interest at all, he's going to make that happen if there is any interest at all.

He's speaking things into existence while also making promises.

Panama,

mainly, I just want you to get this message to China.

We will take the Panama Canal back.

This is in our strategic interest on our coast.

You know that whole thing that everybody's been saying Russia is so worried about with Ukraine because that's a red line.

They've got to have that.

They can't have NATO there.

Well, we can't have China at the Panama Canal running it.

That one shows he's a serious player.

He knows about our security, our strategy, as George W.

Bush used to say.

He's a serious player.

The rest of them, it's Norman Vincent Peel.

He's just speaking it into existence.

And I don't know.

Let's spin the wheel.

Let's see.

Let's see what shakes out.

Back in just a second.

Jackie wrote in about her dog's experience with rough greens.

She said, we ordered a sample bag of rough greens that you were talking about, and our little Chihuahua absolutely loves it.

She used to take forever eating her food.

Of course, I mean, kibble food to a Chihuahua, that's like a watermelon, isn't it?

Now she gobbles it down and actually begs for her food every night.

Oh, yeah.

Hello, and welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're so very glad that you joined us today.

Thank you for doing that.

I guess our border patrol has seized a rocket launcher at the Arizona port.

You know, just rocket-propelled grenades.

No big deal.

No big deal.

They actually said, you know, we think this is for cartels.

Oh, well, then let it in.

As long as they're not targeting citizens, let it in.

It's just cartels needing a rocket launcher.

Well, glad to see we found it.

By the way, do you see Joe Biden yesterday take credit for the border?

I mean, the border security the way it is?

Because I was doing so many agreements, but now the border is completely same.

Oh.

Oh.

What did he say again?

Yeah, what an embarrassment.

I mean, you know, I was thinking about the George Soros Medal of Freedom Award

and then that you go to the Barack Obama Nobel Prize.

They've just so sullied themselves and, you know, just been giving each other hugs and high fives and awards.

It's just, it's an embarrassment.

Imagine you're Barack Obama and you look at that Nobel Prize and you think,

I really didn't do anything for this.

I mean, I wasn't even in office yet.

How did I possibly get this?

Imagine how empty your your life really is when you realize you didn't earn a damn thing.

Yeah.

Kind of makes me happy.

As we go out every day and try to earn everything that we have.

Makes me happy.

I've seen the checks he's getting from Netflix, and I kind of want to see what it's like.

I just want to see what it's like to not have earned anything.

You try it

a couple weeks ago.

Well, we have already.

Yeah, that's true.

I'm saying we should aspire to actually earning our money, doing something difficult, you know, and then getting paid.

Someday,

this is Glenn Beck.

Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

This is

the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

You know, it's interesting to me that we're not talking about scandal.

We're not talking about the economy.

We're not talking about anything.

What we're talking about is,

hey, should we expand?

Should we make an investment in a place like Greenland?

You know,

why don't we put a man on the moon and bring him back in the next 10 years?

Donald Trump is quickly becoming the moonshot president that I have wanted for my whole life.

The last time we had it was the guy who pointed to Russia and said, that's an evil empire and the wall is coming down.

One before that was JFK that said we're going to put a man on the moon and return him back to Earth within 10 years.

Donald Trump is doing the same thing.

He's saying, we are going to lead the world again.

We're going to be successful.

And we're not going to be involved in everybody else's business, but there's some business things that we should do.

What do you think about investing in Greenland?

And the negotiations took an interesting turn yesterday.

Charlie Kirk is going to join us today.

He was just in Greenland with Donald Trump Jr.,

who arrived in

Greenland very subtly in Air Force Trump.

A giant plane lands in Greenland with 60,000 people.

The plane with Trump on the side lands and everybody in Greenland is like, what the hell's going on?

Is he going to set up a podium and just say he's president of Greenland now?

Yeah, he might.

He might.

He might.

I'm just saying, he might.

All negotiation.

We're going to talk about that coming up in 60 seconds.

Well, it's this time of year where my happiness is dictated solely by whether the Philadelphia Eagles win or lose.

Although that's changing a little bit with prize picks.

Now, prize picks is the place to go to win cash while watching the playoffs.

And if you're going to watch and enjoy the game anyway, why not walk away with some cash?

And that's not really the way I look at this because I want to win a thousand times my money on PrizePicks, of course, but I look at it now as just hedging my happiness and sadness.

Like if I'm just going to put a prize pick ticket together with like less on all the Eagles players and more on all the Packers players, and then so if I lose, at least PrizePicks is paying me to watch an Eagles defeat.

PrizePicks invented the flex play as well, so you don't even have to hit every one of those picks.

You'll still get paid.

And they're now offering MasterCard for quick and easy deposits into your account this season.

Prize picks, run your game.

All right.

Welcome to Tuesday.

No, it's Wednesday.

It's Wednesday today.

Sorry.

I just lost today.

That's great.

Yes, Mr.

President.

Biden, you're right.

It's still, it's Tuesday.

It's my 25th wedding anniversary today.

My wife and I have been married for 25 years.

Isn't that amazing?

Wow, congratulations.

Yeah, she put up with me for 25 years.

Yeah, not for her.

No, it's condolences to Tanya.

But

I just

don't dismiss

marriage.

Don't settle when you're looking.

There is somebody out there who's just right for you.

And it may come, it may come later in life, but they're just right for you.

And when you

actually love each other

and look at your marriage, my wife was, she's so smart.

She said,

Because I had just come out of a bad marriage and

so I wanted a prenup.

And you remember this still?

Remember this turmoil?

And I said to Tanya, I said, you know, I'd like you to sign it.

Not that this is going to happen.

And she said, well, I'm not marrying you.

And I said, what?

And she said, I'm not negotiating an end for something I don't think has an end.

And I said, well, just in case.

And she said, there is no just in case.

We are either marrying each other and we're going to weather all the storms and we're going to get through it or we're not.

And I'm not doing a pre-nob.

That's important to know.

Your net worth at the time did have a lot of commas in it, but there was a negative sign before it.

So

you should know this was not.

She was not.

You know, that's the other thing I'm really lucky.

I was a loser at the time.

I was just talking to my mother-in-law.

And my daughter said, we were talking because mom came to the house for Christmas.

And we were talking.

And I told my daughter, I said, you know, grandma was not a big Glenn fan.

And she said, what do you mean?

And I said, oh, her and dad did not,

they did not

favor this.

And so my daughter asks, grandma, did you really not like my dad at first?

And so she brings it up at dinner.

We were talking about it.

And I said, I just stopped her.

And I said, Mama, mom, I would have done exactly the same thing.

I was a giant capital L loser.

I was divorced, an alcoholic, two kids, a DJ.

I would have never walked my daughter down the aisle to give her away for that.

You got nothing to apologize for.

I come, Paul.

I'm with you 100%.

But anyway,

she didn't marry me for my money or surely my looks.

And so

she's kept me alive.

She has

she is the brightest light.

And I am so glad we're going to spend eternity together.

Because it only gets better every year.

Every year it gets better.

And to reiterate your earlier message to Tanya, don't settle.

I mean, if anyone could make that point quite clearly to America, don't settle.

Don't settle.

Well, she kind of said that, you know, if you start drinking or you are a dirtbag,

I won't settle.

You know what I'm saying?

She's like, I will take you to court.

I'll get a divorce.

And

I will not settle.

I'm taking all of it.

I'm like, okay, I won't drink.

All right.

Let's go into

what happened yesterday.

I'm watching

Twitter and Charlie Kirk, and all of a sudden he's in Greenland.

And I'm like, how the hell did he get in Greenland?

And I see him on this plane in the cockpit where there's a little bobblehead Trump doll on the

you know shelf there in the cockpit.

What do you call it?

The dashboard.

And

and i'm like whose plane is that and then it shows him landing it's donald trump's trump force one okay

now if if you are trying to lay low you know you're trying to uh

uh you know not make a big deal out of this you're not you're not really serious so let's not kick up dirt

You don't, when your son comes to you and says, hey, dad, I want to do a podcast, but I I want to do it in Greenland.

Can I borrow the plane?

Dad says no.

Dad said, oh, sure.

You know what?

Take the big red, white, and blue one that no one can miss that has my name on it.

So when it lands, everybody in Greenland's like, what the hell is happening?

Is he?

He's going to set up the podium.

He's already the president of the United States.

They haven't even sworn him in, but he's already the president of the United States.

Is he just going to land, set up shop here and go, yeah, I'm the president of Greenland too and it's great nobody said it could be done but i'm the president i mean you know uh so they uh they go and they're just doing he's just doing a podcast um and talking to the people of of greenland now

i want to spend a couple of minutes here on the aspect of

have you ever heard in business if you're not growing you're dying

you know what that means too Yeah, you don't.

You have an example of that?

Example.

You're not expanding, you're contracting.

Yeah, you can't, there's no stasis, right?

Like, you can't just stay in the same spot forever.

Oh, we're third place, and it's fine, and we'll stay there forever.

Now, we've done that successfully for

anybody.

You don't want to be number one, and number two is always like, we try harder.

I don't want to try harder.

I just want to park right there at number three.

We're good.

That's hard to do.

It's a real talent to stay there.

To stay in number three?

Yeah.

Yeah, you can do it.

Because, of course, everyone else is trying to grow, right?

So

as they grow, you know,

your

share of things tends to go away and you fall farther and farther behind.

I mean, think of, you know, like something like

BlackBerry, right?

Like they kept, they were there.

They had this big lead.

No, not Blackberry Pie.

The device.

They had this big lead and they were out ahead of everybody when it came to.

And they just kind of sat there and

other

people, Apple, obviously the big one, came in and just started taking that share and they could never get it back and they just kept shrinking and shrinking and shrinking.

I think the biggest example of this is Kodak.

When Kodak, when Digital came out, Kodak rejected digital.

One of the guys on the board said, we got to get into this digital game.

It's a fad.

We're a film company.

And within two years, Kodak was done.

I mean, two years, Kodak was out.

And interestingly, if

you're not looking to the future,

you're not doing anything.

And we are a reactive country.

Everything we do is just reaction.

That's not a successful country.

No, you want to lead.

And that's certainly, if you want to throw that back into the Trump world, that's exactly what he's trying to do.

You know,

he wants to drag everyone else into the conversations he wants people to have.

And he does it.

And they're not all the time.

They're not self-serving conversations.

We talked about Panama last hour.

That shows

he's a strategist.

He is actually concerned about

our national security.

You know, when was the last time, Stu,

you thought

a president was bringing something up because he actually truly believed this was in our national security and it wasn't something that was going to benefit all of the cronies that are building war machines.

Yeah, there's nothing there as far as that goes.

This would help our economy, it would help our military if we were able to make this a better situation.

And even if it is just negotiation, just trying to lower the rates of our ships passing through it.

It's not.

It's not.

So you think he wants to actually now re-operate it, essentially?

Or is it just kicking China out?

It's kicking China out, getting good rates and kicking China out.

He won't rest until China is out of the Panama Canal.

I mean, this is a Cuban missile crisis kind of thing.

If China can take control of the Panama Canal,

we're done.

How are you going to fight China when all of our ships and all of our supplies are on the East Coast and we now have to go from the East Coast with all of our ships from the West Coast of Europe?

all the way across the Atlantic and then down,

you know,

at at the bottom of South America, then come back up.

That's not

reasonable.

We have to have the shortcut of the Panama Canal.

That's what we built it for.

So now to have China doing it, can you imagine if the Soviet Union would have had the Panama Canal?

We would have never put up with that.

No, it's impossible.

I mean, the history of it is amazing.

I mean, we, the only reason Panama is a country is because of us, first of all.

It wasn't even a country.

It was part of Colombia.

The only reason it's even a country is because we supported a rebellion and then we put our troops there to defend the

Panamanian government as it was forming.

France tried to build a Panama Canal and failed.

And then we came in and actually did it.

And it was us who operated it for decades.

And then stupid Jimmy Carter,

as he lays in state today, it's not a great time for this discussion, but stupid Jimmy Carter just gave it to them because they wanted, because there was this thing at the time was like, oh, you know, the U.S.

is a little imperial.

What are they doing?

People are upset.

And

we should, as

a good, a gesture of goodwill, we should just kind of give it to them and they'll keep it neutral forever.

And like, okay, like, I mean, so far that has, you know, I think been bad for us as a trade, but it could be much, much, much worse.

And the positions are in place with China having control and running the two ports on either side of this thing.

The conditions are in place for it to be much, much worse.

It's important to get out in front of this.

And I'm glad he's taking this on.

Yeah, back in just a second with more.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Lear Capital.

I don't know if you saw, last week the dollar was spiraling out of control.

This week it's back up.

And it's all because of fake news, both times fake news.

Donald Trump is going to fill fill in the blank and then the dollar collapses and then donald trump is going to and then the dollar rises can we just operate on in reality here's here's the thing if we don't start making smart moves investments and start running this country like a business like you have to run your home we're done uh and that's clear because uh

the dollar the shape we're in with the debt that we're making do you know at the end of four years if we keep keep spending like this, we'll bid $51 trillion in debt?

$51 trillion.

When Obama got in, what were we?

Six or seven trillion dollars in debt?

This won't last.

This just won't last.

So we got to do the right things.

Hopefully we will, but there are so many bumps in this road.

We have to be very, very careful.

And when it comes to all of the stuff that you have, all of the money that you have saved so you and your wife wife or you and your husband can actually retire and have some money so when you're older, you don't have to work or at least if you have to supplement with work, you don't have all of it based on what you can bring in in income.

Well, you can lose all of that if the dollar collapses.

And that is a real possibility.

Please, gold or silver is the place that the world always returns.

Always.

All right, so we're talking about Panama and how strategically important it is.

But I want to go back because

it's so rare for me to be optimistic.

And it's so rare for me to be excited, truly excited about something that's happening with our country that's coming out of Washington.

I mean, Stu, have have you ever known me to be like this?

We've known each other since what, 96?

Yeah, you're not typically the, you don't get excited.

You kind of just, there's a bit of pessimism that's built into watching the world for a few decades.

And it reflects in your, in your view sometimes.

And I have been asking over and over again.

I have been saying, we need a moonshot president.

This president is making the right calls on, look at this just as a business.

As we started out the hour, I said, you know, you're either expanding or contracting.

Well, we've been contracting, and it seems like all of the leadership in the United States is just cool with that.

They're like, yeah, you know what?

But let me get some of mine out before, you know, the whole thing collapses.

Let me make a buck or two

and maybe I can help rule the new world.

Where Donald Trump is coming in and saying, that's not inevitable.

It doesn't have to be that way.

And all we have to do is make some smart things.

Tell me, you know, you look at Greenland, first of all, he's not the first president to want to buy Greenland.

The first president that wanted to do it, I think was Buchanan.

Was it Buchanan or Jackson?

But it was around 1828 or something like that.

And he wanted to buy Greenland and the Congress

wouldn't go for it.

Then the next president, I think it was Truman or Eisenhower, I think it was Truman, that offered $100 million.

And Denmark said, no,

we want it.

We love it.

You can go skiing there and stuff.

And Denmark has, you know, they do have a kind of a claim to it because of, you know, the Vikings.

The Vikings were the first ones to go and settle Greenland for all of its fun in the snow.

And so they've had it since, I think officially they took it in the 17, like 1725 or something.

And it is rich with minerals.

It is strategically very, very smart.

When was the last time this country spent, I'd offer a trillion dollars.

And then also everybody who is a citizen, you get a percentage, just like Alaska, you get a percentage of everything we pull out of the ground.

So you'd make everybody in Greenland happy, Denmark, but I mean, really, what does Denmark do?

Go make Danish or whatever it is you do.

But make offer them a trillion dollars.

We've spent a trillion dollars on bailouts.

Do you think that was a good investment?

This is a great investment, just like Alaska was until we decided not to look at it as an investment.

These are investments.

This is a country.

We need to continue to grow.

It's a great idea.

This is Glenn Beck.

And now with the rates as low as 5%, you can get out of a 25% interest rate and down to a 5% and pay those things off.

So critical.

You could save up to $800 a month.

That's the average is $8.36 a month for our listeners.

That's like a $10,000 raise.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We are so glad that you're here.

Next hour, I'm getting into the latest on meta and YouTube.

Some things that YouTube's like, we're an open platform.

We agree with freedom of speech.

Do you?

I got a great example,

first-hand example

about freedom of speech here in America coming up in just a second.

So stand by for that.

But let's talk about the state of the overall media.

And we've got two examples on this, the New York Times, but let's start with the latest from CNN.

This is...

This is such an amazing story about a changing headline.

Not a changing story, just a changing headline.

Listen to this.

Exact same story.

I'll take you on a little journey of CNN.com.

And the story is basically, this is from January 6th, from Monday.

So he's, you know, they're going to certify the election.

They're covering that basic story.

So same story all day.

Here is the headline at 5 a.m.

Today marks the most stunning comeback in U.S.

political history.

Okay, stop.

Stop.

True?

Yeah, I mean, absolutely.

Absolutely.

Legitimate headline.

Yeah, so January 6th was supposed, and this is kind of the story, was supposed to be the end of Donald Trump.

People all blamed him for it at the time.

And not only, he was dead, I mean, metaphorically at the time in January 6th, 2020.

The guy was politically dead.

And he's Lazarus.

He's now

bigger than he ever has been.

And

I can't think of anyone in political history, at least in the United States, that has had this kind of turnaround.

Yeah, I mean,

headline is completely accurate.

Yeah, a good headline for a story about this, right?

But it was written, I'm sure, by the overnight people who are not part of the in-crowd, you know, and they were doing some actual headline writing, journalistically, actual headlines.

So then the morning people come in.

Yeah, 6 a.m.

The headline changes to Trump is more powerful than ever.

Okay, I mean,

you could kind of still argue.

I mean, he's not president of the United States currently, but he will be soon.

And you could argue he's maybe at the peak of his powers.

I mean, I think it has different meanings for both sides, right?

You might have hear of that.

That's a headline.

Right.

That's a headline.

If you're a supporter, you go, yeah, that's true.

If you're a negative, you look at that and go, yeah, and that's concerning.

Yeah, that's scary.

It's getting a little scary.

It's no longer a stunning comeback.

It's now like, it could be kind of scary to at least half the country.

Okay.

Correct.

That's six a.m.

So still a valid headline.

Yeah.

But now they've added the negativity.

Yeah.

Okay.

8 a.m.

comes, and the same story.

The headline is now, the message Trump sends by inciting a riot and regaining power.

So again, he's still, the power story is still in the middle.

Same story.

But now

Nothing's changed in the story, right?

I think there were occasional updates to the story as the day went on, but it's the the same story, same telling.

It's the same basics,

bone structure of the story.

And they've changed it from a, hey, wow, look how this has turned around in four years, to now

he incited a riot and somehow or another he's finagled himself back into power.

What is that going to teach our children?

Right, right.

Like,

now it's like a moral play, right?

Like,

they've turned this into,

they've made a judgment.

They've called,

he made they've put held him responsible for January 6th, the riot.

Without ever charging, right?

Without ever charging.

Again, like there are some people who make the argument he had some culability there, but like

certainly a judgment that you make.

Most of the country, I think, as we saw in the election, if they believed he was responsible for that riot, he wouldn't have been elected, right?

Like, they don't believe it.

It was an 11-point swing.

I think CNN, on its own air, by the way, Harry Anton, highlighted that only like 5%

of people

identified January 6th as the most important part of the Trump presidency, the first term.

5%.

Right, 5%.

This is a massive mistake on their front to highlight this all the time to try to make this the issue to defeat Donald Trump.

Didn't work, but yet that's where they are.

And then it ends up with this.

Four years after his supporters invaded the U.S.

Capitol, Trump is more powerful than ever.

Oh, Stu.

Wow.

CNN doesn't use the word invade very often.

Right.

When 10 million people cross the southern border,

it's not an invasion.

That's racist to call it an invasion.

But when there's 400 people inside the U.S.

Capitol, 300 of which are grandparents, like not knowing where they are, that is now apparently an invasion.

And it's funny, if this isn't the story of the elites, I don't know what is.

You got the overnight people that are writing a story.

They do a good headline.

Then the morning people come in and they're like, that's, I mean, we got to have,

let's make sure we're not forgetting who brought us to the party.

They all hate Trump.

So let's at least balance it a little bit and give it a dual meaning.

Okay, fair.

All right.

Then eight o'clock comes, the third headline, who's in their car at eight o'clock or just arriving at the office at eight o'clock?

All of the higher ups,

all of the bigwigs are in.

And they're driving in or getting up in the morning and they're hearing you know or reading that headline that has just been changed already and they're like what the hell

no it can't be that

and then as the day goes on they just become more and more solid as more and more elites come in and go i cannot believe we are selling our souls I can't believe we're not talking about the invasion and how this man started and brought us to our knees.

I mean, it's crazy.

What a great example of how the elites work.

It's totally true.

It's the way the media works.

And you also see sort of a preview of how this is going to go, right?

Like, if you think there's going to be this big mea culpa or some sort of self-reflection, I don't think any of that seems to be coming.

It does seem to be coming.

You mentioned Meta before.

Like, you could make the argument that some of those companies are doing it.

You know, I think it was McDonald's today announced a big reversal on their DEI policies.

So there is a lot of that happening, but I don't think it's happening over at CNN.

All right.

So can I ask you,

let me say something about that McDonald's thing.

Okay.

This, again, is a sign that our republic is sick.

Okay.

I've told you in the past when the rules were reversed that no person should be afraid of the president of the United States.

Okay.

No business should be afraid of the President of the United States or Congress unless you're in the crack business.

Then maybe you should.

Hey,

I'm in the murder business.

I don't like to change policies, but we've got somebody who's strongly against murder.

Okay, that would change.

But our republic is so out of balance where the...

Where a company like McDonald's, because the power center was saying you need to do this and teach all of these things, not passing laws, just pressure,

they change their business practices.

Then when the winds change, they change back.

That shows you these companies have no principles at all.

Stu have we changed anything in our broadcast with an exception of being more careful on comedy?

In 30 years, have we made any big changes because we were afraid of the government?

No, no, I don't think so.

Right.

No.

We wanted to make sure that we were doing the best business practices so, you know, companies like, or people like Media Matters couldn't just put us, I didn't want to do them, give them any gifts, you know, by saying things through comedy that would kill us overnight.

We haven't changed anything.

You don't change.

You are who you are.

You're a company that

builds a product or makes a product.

You believe in that product.

You make it the best.

And it has nothing to do with politics.

When these companies are flip-flopping this dramatically, it shows we are way out of whack.

That should never happen in America.

That's what happens in fascistic or authoritarian states, not the United States of America.

Now, let me go back to the second story here.

This one's from the New York Times.

Listen to this headline and tell me,

tell me of a more shocking

headline

than this.

What is the UK grooming gang scandal that's been seized on by Elon Musk?

What an incredible headline.

Okay, there they are admitting in the first part of that headline that their audience is not aware of

the grooming gangs story in UK, which has been brewing for a decade.

It has been in the news over and over again.

In fact, it is what Tommy Robinson and all of these people that they've said is Nazis, they're Nazis.

This is the reason why they've been called Nazis, okay?

The grooming gangs.

So they are admitting, the New York Times is admitting, you as a reader probably don't know anything about this, okay?

Because it's no big deal.

It's just about Nazis.

Okay.

So they're saying we haven't covered it.

And if we have, you wouldn't understand it this way because

we suck at our job.

Then they make the story, which is about the sexual molestation by,

let's be honest,

Muslim crazy

migrants that have come in and are raping the children and grooming the children.

Okay.

That story

is now being seized on by Elon Musk, inferring that he's only doing this for more power.

He's only, he's taken this little story that you haven't even heard because it's not the story of grooming children.

And Elon Musk is using this to gain more power.

How evil and out of touch can these people be?

They don't have a problem.

I mean, I have a problem with the Diddy thing.

Does anybody else still have a problem with that?

I have a problem.

Well, I mean, I have two problems.

Did you see when Beyonce came out on the stage for whatever playoff game that was, Christmas, I think it was?

And she came out in a big cowboy hat and she was doing country.

I'm like, oh, dear God.

This is not country.

Anyway, so I have a problem with that.

But why was she allowed to do a huge

halftime show, Beyonce,

when her husband

is,

you know, you remember

Louis C.K.

He got permission from women to touch himself in front of them.

All right.

But he couldn't perform.

He can't perform.

Well, I mean, he could perform, but that's in a different way.

You got to get him off television.

You got to get him out.

Okay?

It's so bad.

Beyonce's husband is accused of raping children, blackmailing all kinds of people, and having these huge baby oil parties that were called Diddy parties that apparently everybody knew about.

There's no way everybody knew about them, but Beyonce didn't.

How did Jay-Jay-Z?

Wait, you're talking about...

Or Jay-Z.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

So Jay-Z is the guy, the guy with the sex parties.

Jay-Z is the one married to Beyonce, right?

Right.

But Jay-Z is also involved in the Diddy sex parties.

Is he not?

There was some accusation, I think, about that.

Yeah, I haven't followed it all that closely, but yeah, I think there was some accusation.

But there's no way she didn't know about those sex parties.

No way.

No way.

If the accusations are true.

Yes.

I mean, I'm not going to try them.

I'm not saying put him in jail without a trial.

That's clear.

But I mean, I think we can look at stories and go, hey, I don't have all the details about Epstein, but

the guys that were hanging out with Epstein a lot

probably

were involved or at least knew about this and were cool with them.

I think, again, I'm not just trying to cover ourselves from Beyonce's lawyers.

I think it is important to make a distinction from a guy who's in prison currently and another guy who's had one accusation against against him.

Correct.

Okay, so this story is happening here and abroad.

There is something to say about,

well, I better not say this out of context because it will be taken out of context and misunderstood.

So

let me take a quick break and I'll come back and say it in context so you understand.

This is in our psyche as a nation.

And

that's important to recognize.

And we'll go there next.

Hang on.

First, let me tell you about Cozy Earth.

Normally, I don't use the word luxury and affordable in the same sentence.

Real luxury is, you know,

a Mercedes, Bentley, a Rolls-Royce.

Not really affordable.

But they're the best of the best.

This is true luxury with Cozy Earth that revolutionizes the game because it also comes with a 40% discount.

These are sheets that I would say, honestly, I would be at a store and go, we're not buying those sheets.

They're way too expensive.

40% off, they're actually affordable.

They're not cheap.

They're affordable.

Why?

Because they are amazing.

These are the kinds of sheets that you would find.

only at the very best hotels.

It's honestly, it's like fabric I've not never felt before.

And it's not just their sheets, it's the bedding products, it's their towels are super, super soft.

Again, top, top, top of the line.

And how do I know?

Because they come with a 10-year warranty.

Have you ever had sheets that had a 10-year warranty?

And a 100-night sleep trial.

So you're not going to send these back.

These are the best.

Go to Cozy Earth right now.

Use the promo code Beck for 40% off.

You ever seen a liberal's hands?

Smoother than a snake on oil.

Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word female than the word work.

Glenn Beck will be right back.

You've heard me talking about despicable crimes such as the FBI.

The way they say it is house stealing, which kind of sounds like, I don't know, like a fake thing.

House stealing.

Home title fraud is another way people have talked about this.

If you own a home or a property, your title and the hard-earned equity you've built is at serious risk.

This fast-growing crime is a very serious problem for property owners.

And in fact, a district attorney in California said that the known title fraud attempts in just his small county have gone from virtually none to over 73 in just the past 18 months alone.

How do they do it?

Well, you know, with just one document they can download online, they can forge your signature, they can file it with the local recorder's office, and get the ownership of your home transferred out of your name to theirs.

And that's literally all it takes for your property to become their property, at least on paper.

Triple lock protection, 24-7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts of any changes.

And God forbid, if the worst thing happens, their U.S.-based team over at Home Title Lock works fast to restore your title at no additional cost to you.

And Home Title Lock has a special offer going on right now.

If you go to home titlelock.com, use the promo code Blaze, you get 30 days of Triple Lock Protection for free.

You'll get a free title history report as well.

You can make sure you're already, you know, not already caught up in something like this.

It's home titlelock.com.

The promo code is Blaze.

Protect your home, protect your equity, and your peace of mind.

Home TitleLock.com.

The code is Blaze.

Okay, so here's the controversial statement.

The

Pizzagate guys kind of had a point.

Now,

that sounds horrible unless you have the context.

And the context is this.

They were wrong about Pizzagate, but there's something in our psyche, there's something in man right now in England and in the United States where we know our children are being groomed and abused.

They are being raped, whether it's over the border and everybody's turning a blind eye.

So

it shows that this is deeply embedded in us, that we know something isn't right.

That's why the government needs to pursue Epstein, Diddy, and everything else.

Let me talk to you a little bit about our sponsor.

It's My Patriot Supply.

With the Trump administration coming in, I feel pretty good.

You know, but you know as well as I do, the last thing we should do is let our guard down.

We're still in real trouble.

They left us with a lot of problems.

And, you know, the Panama thing could be the, really could be the Cuban missile crisis of our...

of our day.

And it shows the intent of China.

Anyway,

how do you prepare?

Well, the best thing you could do is go to MyPatriot Supply and get emergency food in your home.

And it's the best time to do it because you don't want to do it when you're worried about everything else.

Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.

Stand your ground when times get tight.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America.

You know, a lot of people can give you the news,

but very few places can give you a real understanding of the news, how it impacts you, why it's important, what it really means, and give you perspective on what's to come.

We try to do that every day, and we're going to do that with the freedom of speech argument that Meta kind of kicked off yesterday.

We begin in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about the Bernalancha at the start of a new year.

Great time to think about new types of emergency situations you could potentially face.

I mean, that's what I like to do.

I start to, you know, just make a list of all the ways that, you know, you could lose your life.

You know,

you need some kind of protection, but most times you don't need a gun.

95% of the times that you have problems,

you don't need a gun, but you would like a tool for those situations, and that tool is the Berna launcher.

It looks just like a gun.

It's legal in all 50 states.

You can carry it in Manhattan.

You can carry it in California.

You don't need anything except you have to be of age.

You have to be 18 to have it.

It's a powerful deterrent.

It'll put people down for like 40 minutes.

So you need something where you're in a dicey situation, but you don't want to kill anybody.

Defend yourself against these potential threats with something that is not life-threatening to them.

All right.

Let's talk a little bit about Zuckerberg and what happened yesterday.

I mean, I think it was the Babylon B that said that this is so, it's, it's not even comedy.

It's just true.

Guy who said Facebook was not suppressing free speech announces Facebook will stop suppressing free speech.

That's the Babylon B.

Yeah, that's exactly what happened.

It's exactly what happened.

And there's a couple of things on this that I think are

important.

One of which is,

do you believe him?

You know,

if I were to be really generous,

I would say that perhaps my first impression of Mark Zuckerberg when I met him

was correct,

except

he doesn't know how out of step he is because he lives in a world where everyone is out of step.

You know what I mean?

If you live in Silicon Valley and you're in his world and you're running his company surrounded by a bunch of liberals, Marxists, people that just don't believe in, you know, they just look at America in a different way and freedom in a different way, et cetera, et cetera.

You might be the most conservative person there, but when you get into a room with real conservatives or in a red state, they all look at you and go, you're not conservative, dude.

You know what I mean?

It's like when people move from California, they're like, I'm conservative.

Well, are you?

Really?

I mean, you might have been crazy conservative in California, but that still probably makes you a liberal in Texas, you know?

And so is he

changing or is he just doing this just for,

you know, to fit in and make sure that he can get some AR and VR money from the United States government?

That's a possibility, and I'm sure that probably played a role.

And is it possible?

What do you think of this idea, Stu, that maybe he's just growing up?

I mean, he's a young guy.

How old is he?

30?

I think he's 40 or 39, 40, something like that.

It is an interesting thought in that a lot of people go from really far left to center or right in a process of 20 years.

I mean, because he's been in our lives for so long, basically since college, right, with Facebook, you kind of forget that he's, you know, he's only 40 years old or so.

So, I mean, maybe it's

not like he's not having an awakening.

It's not Bill Gates, who is now, I don't know, 900 years old and just entrenched in his viewpoint of,

you know, maybe

the Malthusians were right, you know?

Yeah.

And when I met him,

I did have the impression of him that he wanted to do the right thing.

He just didn't have anyone around him

that...

understood the right thing.

You know what I mean?

Does that make sense?

It was not in his daily conversation.

It just, he was not around those guys.

Yeah, and it's kind of interesting, too.

If you go back, there's the Ben Mesrick book that was the movie The Social Network was based off of.

And if you read that book, you kind of come up with a person who seems a little more

like he really wanted free speech, right?

Like that's what he wanted at that time.

Now, again, I think there's been a lot of evidence to the

opposition of that in the the last 20 years.

Oh, yeah.

But you could see there is a theoretical arc that could be explainable where someone who started out with these big ideas, big aspirations, I want everyone in the world to be able to communicate and all those things.

You get really, really rich.

You sit back and you think, well, maybe, you know, this is the way the world is.

Everyone's around me telling me we need to, you know, suppress this and stop that.

And I got to play the game.

And you could see how that might happen through your 20s and 30s.

And maybe you get to a point where, hey, I'm a multi-billionaire.

The world's changing.

Why not go back to the way I, you know, the way we started in his eyes?

Again, this isn't exactly how I see it, but you could see that as an arc that is believable.

And I think, you know, a lot of us would go back to our early days with Elon Musk showing some conservative views.

And we were probably, I know I was, very skeptical of that at the time.

And it seems to me that.

Oh, I'm not skeptical of that now.

I was with you on that, but I'm still skeptical of Elon Musk.

I don't know what his long-term intentions are.

I think he believes in freedom of speech, where I wasn't sure at the beginning, but I am now convinced

with his actions over the past few years that this is real.

Like,

I still don't agree with him on a lot of things, you know, certainly the climate is one of them.

But, like, I think this, where he is, it's a real thing.

A lot of it's transition.

A lot of it's probably things he kind of had nuggets of believing, but never really expressed.

And, you know, the Trump era, if nothing else, seems to, at least this time, be giving people the courage to say those things that they actually had kernels of belief of.

That's a good thing.

That's a really good thing.

These billionaires are so different now, aren't they?

I mean, Elon Musk, he's just a different kind of guy.

You know,

to be really, really, really super rich, you had to build the train system,

you know, and play, you know, and you were a stuffed shirt and you had all the trappings.

These guys, you look at Elon Musk, he's like a guy you could hang out with.

You look at Mark Zuckerberg.

He walks into a store next to you.

You don't think anything.

It doesn't scream, you know, the way he's dressed or anything else doesn't scream billionaire.

Unless you look really close at his watch.

Then you might know.

I did see that.

Did you see this?

I did see that.

In this video he did yesterday.

Somebody caught it.

I don't know who it was, but

the watch he's wearing, and you tell me, Glenn, because you know watches, but it's like a $900,000 watch.

Yeah, yeah.

So this is a watch brand like

Patek Philippe is the brand that anybody who knows watches would go, that is the pinnacle of watches.

Okay.

And they make 250 to $2 million watches because of their complications, but

they're not like this brand.

They'll make 50 to 70,000 watches and they're hand assembled and some of them are handmade, et cetera, et cetera.

But the watch he was wearing, this is an amazing fact.

The watch that he was wearing yesterday is 100% handmade.

Every gear, every screw, everything handmade.

And because it's so complicated, it's a turbillion, which

do you know, do you know what that is?

This is an amazing thing.

They're useless now.

They were made, you know, we couldn't navigate the world until we had a clock.

Our maps are in degrees and time, okay?

So you couldn't navigate the world until we had a stable clock.

Well, the problem with stable clocks on a ship back then was,

you know, it was a grandfather clock.

So as everything was, the boat was shifting, you know, the time would speed up or slow down and it would all be screwed up.

So you didn't have good time.

So they needed to make a watch and not a watch originally, it was just a clock, but then it became a watch

with what's called a turbulent.

It's an engine of the watch that can actually spin inside 360 degrees.

So when, for instance, when you have, this is the old way we used to have watches, when you had a pocket watch, you didn't need one because it would always be with a 6 p.m.

down in your pocket or near.

Okay.

So it was relatively stable to keep time for you.

But a wristwatch, you're constantly moving it.

Okay.

And so it would screw things up.

So you needed a little engine in a cage that could be able to turn.

So it was always, no matter how it was moving, the time would be consistent.

No gravitational force would affect it.

Okay.

It's an amazing thing.

And they're really difficult and only in very expensive watches.

That watch has a terbillion, but it is also handmade.

Everything handmade.

Do you know how long it takes to make the watch that he was wearing?

This will blow your mind.

No, how long?

Okay.

You think of a watch.

What would be a long time to make a watch, do you think?

You mean

six months to a year would be

a long time to work.

That watch takes six years

to make

six

years how many watches do they does this company make

uh i i can't remember i it's not a lot obviously no it's it's it's

i don't know maybe under a thousand i think i it's got it's it's let me gotta be right i mean first of all at nine hundred thousand dollars a watch there's probably not a massive market for them yeah i think that they make like a hundred

and fifty i can't see, let me see.

Yeah, especially if you're only building one sixth of a watch a year.

Yeah, they make 150 watches, no more than 150 watches a year.

Wow.

So the clientele is very, very, very small.

Yeah.

But it's for somebody who wants, it's somebody who appreciates truly handmade, handbuilt, and can appreciate the, I mean,

this company says they don't make watches, they make art.

And they do.

There is an art to cars, you know, that are really built right and everything is just special in its own way.

And then a car.

You know what I mean?

There's a difference.

Yeah.

And if you have his kind of money, I guess why not?

Yeah.

And I, by the way, have no problem with a guy in Mark Zuckerberg's position buying a $900,000 watch.

First of all, it means absolutely nothing to him.

He's got all this, you know, all the money in the world.

He should buy the stuff that he wants.

And I hope this is a beginning of a period where maybe we're not getting preached to about it.

And

the people wearing the $900,000 watch start talking to us about incoming inequality.

That I can't.

When I saw that, I wondered what was the take

from people.

Why was this such a big deal to people?

Because I was curious because I know the brand.

I know the watch.

Yeah.

You're watching that.

And, you know, I'm a watch nerd.

And so it was cool.

But my question is,

how was the how do you why do you think this was important?

Was it watch nerds or was it people who are gatekeepers on wealth?

I think it's more, I think it's more of look at these elitists.

You know, we hear, especially from people, especially from, I mean, the right is going to complain about this every single time that someone on the left does it who's preaching about income inequality and telling you how you should be spending your money and how you're doing the wrong things.

And then they spend $900,000 on a watch.

The hypocrisy was big on the right.

Yes.

As you know, on the left, it's like,

there is,

especially with Zuckerberg now taking a position the left doesn't like, right?

Like he is showing disloyalty to the cause here, Glenn, even just saying these things, even if he doesn't mean it, the fact that he would acknowledge that now you can debate gender.

on Facebook.

I mean, that was a very specific thing and something where he is taking a stand, not just in a generic, like, hey, we should be more open to free speech, but saying, like, we've been too restrictive about this particular conversation that the left says is medical science, and the right says, wait a minute, what are you talking about?

A boy can't become a girl with a few magic words.

He specifically cited that in the video.

And to acknowledge something like that, he is now a band, he's going to be seen as a traitor, like Elon Musk is.

Yeah, yeah.

And

may think that it won't affect him, but it'll be interesting to watch him, how he threads this needle.

I mean, Elon Musk, I'm sure he never thought the left would abandon him.

You know,

I'm sure he was completely confused by that because he was just talking common sense.

And, you know,

as the founder of Facebook, you've been around that.

that kill squad yourself.

I bet he's never thought it could turn on him, but it'll be interesting to watch.

I want to give you a great example of what you just said

on how you couldn't talk about gender.

And now YouTube comes out and they said, we don't have to do any of these things.

We're a free speech platform already.

Oh, really?

Are you, YouTube?

We'll go there in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It is Cozy Earth.

When your home is your castle, when you can make it actually feel like a castle, and I don't mean like, you know, you have suits of armor, but someplace that is protected as shelter from the storm, a fortress for your family.

It's a great thing.

From 5 p.m.

to 9 a.m., that's the bulk of your day.

You're at home.

And home should be more than a place of rest.

It should be your sanctuary.

And those are the hours when, you know, do you have comfy clothes?

You know, it's time for my comfy clothes.

That's when I don't care.

Nobody's coming into the house.

I'm just in my comfy clothes and I'm just going to be comfortable.

It should always be that way.

And Cozy Earth makes it that way.

The hours when you unwind, recharge, prepare to face the world again, that's where you can make your home a retreat with Cozy Earth.

Their bedding, their pajamas.

Tanya got a pair of their pajamas for Christmas.

I gave them to her.

And they are like, they're so soft.

It's unlike fabric I've ever felt.

It is just so soft.

And they're breathable, made with the highest quality materials.

Oprah has had them

on her favorite things seven times.

This is luxury now that is affordable.

This isn't something that, you know, is like luxury and they found a way to make it cheap.

They're really a responsible company and they have made it at the best price they can, but they're offering a 40% discount right now, which makes it affordable.

But it's true luxury.

Luxury that is affordable.

All you have to do is go to cozyearth.com/slash Beck.

Find their products.

They're just amazing.

okay so uh

the ceo of uh

of youtube has come out and you know

described youtube as a bastion of free speech where the world's most pressing debates can thrive uh because it's an open platform it

It doesn't mean that anything goes, but just about anything goes.

Well, does it?

We have been trying to figure out why

a particular podcast that I did

with,

oh, what's his name?

We had him on, he was in the week of Christmas.

He's this extraordinary guy, a black kid.

He's 25 years old now, who is just changing his

whole town.

he's extraordinary and we saw that it performed very very poorly and i thought why did this because it was it's so uplifting so hopeful and uh maybe it was because he wasn't a known name maybe that was it well we started to do digging uh and we found out that we had been demonetized and when you're demonetized uh for an episode it means it doesn't it bypasses the algorithm so it's not pushed out out.

It not only loses money,

you can't charge ads, which I don't really care,

but it also

it doesn't expand.

There's nothing behind it to push it out.

So when this thing got, I don't know, 40,000 views, I'm like, what the, why?

We find out that they demonetized us.

and kicked us out of the algorithm.

Why?

Because a warning, trigger warning, I'm going to use a word that is not friendly.

He was speaking about how he had been treated by the left as his words, not mine, a coon.

Okay?

Horrible, horrible.

Now, if I'm saying that word and I'm saying it and calling him that, that's horrible.

But you really don't expect it when a liberal would say it.

People who are standing up, right?

I mean, I'm shocked that anybody would say it, but the liberals would say only conservatives.

He was talking about how the racism against him from liberals

was just outrageous and shocking to him.

Why were we demonetized?

Because a black man used that word that was used against him by liberals.

So don't talk to me about a free speech platform, YouTube.

You're a joke.

Glenn Beck.

All right.

We have

just amazing potential in this country right now.

And

we are either going to grow

or, you know, die, one of the two.

I'm hoping we grow.

But we also are going to go through some real pains because we have made decades of mistakes, especially financially, as a country, which means our dollar is going to be really

in trouble.

One of the best things Texas is doing and Floridians are following right behind us is trying to develop our own token, which would be backed by gold and could be used in all transactions.

Utah is also doing this.

You know, when the states realize that, hey, we're going to be beholden to the government if their dollar falls and we don't have our gold, we're in trouble.

You need to do the same thing in your own home.

And the way you can do that is by going to Lear Capital and investing in gold or silver today yourself.

Have it as a backstop to your savings.

800-957-GOLD.

Call them now, 800-957-GOLD.

Be proactive and grow.

Hello, America stations.

Just a

show note here: we're going to take our next break extraordinarily early.

We have to take a network network break, but our guest, Charlie Kirk, could not uh join us until uh the time we normally take a break.

So, we're gonna take the break here in just a couple of minutes and then uh spend the last 20 minutes with Charlie Kirk.

Um, Charlie was in Greenland, uh, what, yesterday?

Uh, I mean, assuming that this came out in real time, he was there yesterday, uh, with Donald Trump Jr.

And uh, I just want to get the

feel

on what's really happening there.

Charlie's an amazing guy.

He is extraordinarily young.

I think he's now in his 30s, but when he started, he was, you know, he was in college.

And he has now become, I think,

a real power broker in Washington, D.C.

And

that kind of success at that age can really make you into an egomaniac

and could really cause some real problems.

You could become a real danger.

And Charlie is level-headed.

He really

lives his faith

and tries to remain humble.

And he is.

I have a great deal of respect for Charlie.

He would be a...

He would be, since I was in the hospital yesterday with a blood clot, which was nothing, by the way, you know, I was thinking as I'm driving there, who's going to do the show?

Because it's not going to be Stu.

So maybe it's Charlie.

So

he would be a guy.

He would be a guy.

Well, I'm just saying, Stu.

I mean, Charlie and Stu.

It could work.

Could work.

Could work.

It sounds like we're a 1940s like traveling act.

It's Charlie and Stu.

Like we're going to have canes and like hats.

Yeah, I know.

We're WC Fields.

Yeah, it would be great.

It would be great.

You know, bring vaudeville back.

Anyway, he's a really good guy, and he's gonna be joining us here in just a second.

Tell us what happened in Greenland, what his take on all of this is, and what he thinks is really happening.

That's next.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor, This Half Hour.

It's pre-born.

We have so much work to do in this country to change the hearts and minds of the American people.

So it's no longer just an accepted notion that unborn life is disposable.

It's not.

It's taken us decades

to battle against Roe versus Wade, but the battle is changing now.

You don't have to go to Planned Parenthood and have a doctor do this.

You can just send in for the abortion pill.

60% of all abortions now are available 24-7 in your kid's bathroom without your knowledge.

Pre-Born Rescues has rescued now 300,000 babies from abortion, and every day they rescue 200 more.

When a woman is considering an abortion, she hears her baby's heartbeat and sees that baby on an ultrasound, the baby's chances at life are doubled.

Then they also add to the fact that these women feel trapped and alone and they have nobody supporting them.

They don't know how they're going to support the child.

That's where Preborn steps in again and says, we're going to be there for you for the first two years.

It's a remarkable thing, and you can be involved.

Would you donate $28, a cost of a dinner?

dinner, you could sponsor an ultrasound.

All you have to do is go to preborn.com, preborn.com, and find out all the information.

Or just, if you want to donate easily, dial pound250, say the keyword baby.

Pound250, keyword baby, preborn.com/slash Beck.

Well, I guess we'll give you a minute to let all that sink in.

You know, the best things about growing older is you're able to watch people grow and come into the business and

witness the mistakes and how they pick themselves back up and how they do things and what they really turn into as they grow.

Charlie Kirk is a guy I've been watching for a very long time and is really remarkable,

has his head on right,

is playing a very big role and none of it is going to his head, at least that I have seen.

And that is extraordinarily difficult when you are as young as he is and up against so much power and fame all around you.

Charlie Kirk was in Greenland yesterday.

He joins me now.

Hello, Charlie.

Hey, Glenn, honored to be here.

And I got to tell you, that is an introduction I never thought I'd get in my life.

Charlie Kirk was in Greenland yesterday.

So honored to be here.

It doesn't usually happen unless your plane is having an emergency, you know?

No, that's right.

Yeah, it's not always a destination.

But Glenn, you're a friend and a teacher and a mentor and honored by those words.

Thank you.

Yeah.

So

how did this come about?

Did you just get a call from Don Jr.?

He's like, hey, let's go to Greenland.

Yeah, you know, it was in the news cycle, and Don's a big outdoorsman, and I'm very close friends with him.

And he said, hey, you know, before the new administration comes in, he said, why don't I just go do a trip to Greenland and just kind of go get to know the culture and get to see what's going on there?

And one thing led to the other.

And I was invited on this and took Trump Force One in the middle of the night.

Flew all the way up to Nook.

You could only land within their little window of daylight there.

The sun rises at 11 a.m.

And it sets at 3.30.

So for all of you listening right now in Minneapolis or Chicago, if you think you have it bad, you have no idea.

It could get even worse.

But I got to say, Glenn, I was blown away at the worldwide movement that MAGA has created.

We were met by hundreds of people, people in MAGA hats in the streets of Nook, people that love America, that want to be part of America.

And Don wanted to go, and I wanted to go also, to just learn what is Greenland's place in the world.

What does it have to offer?

First of all, striking beauty.

There's only one state that I think compares, and that would be Alaska.

I mean, it's breastfeeding, Glenn.

You would love it.

I mean, the pictures don't do it justice.

I'm talking about untouched, serene beauty.

That's number one.

Number two, incredible natural resources that the current Danish government, who controls Greenland, does not allow locals to exploit or use or take advantage of.

I'm talking about resources we might not even be aware of, but they have gold, they they have rubies, they have oil, natural gas, just remarkable.

And number three, which I think is rare earth minerals.

It is wildly.

But, you know, the problem is Denmark won't let them do anything.

Well, the United States won't let Alaska do anything either.

I mean, we're taking advantage of some of it, but, you know,

I think this is the best investment America could make in my lifetime.

I think this would be a great investment, but it would take a Donald Trump to let us actually use it responsibly, too.

Totally.

And I mean, thankfully, with President Trump, I think we'll get Anwar back in Alaska.

And so, but what I also saw, though, is that the people of Greenland, they can't stand Denmark.

They think that the Danes mistreat them, take advantage of them, and they want to be part of America.

And if this deal were to be brokered, which, you know, just looking at now as a tourist coming there and back, I think it's totally possible, especially with President Trump coming in, this would be such a net benefit for the United States for national security reasons.

The Arctic is becoming an increasing hot center with China and Russia.

We're seeing

Canada has let Russia just walk all over the Arctic Circle.

That's right.

Exactly.

Exactly.

And the people are wonderful.

I mean, we also went to a cultural center, Glenn, kind of their local museum, and they had drawings and pictures of people, you know, 600 years ago.

before any heating obviously existed that were able to survive in these winters.

I mean, they're a very tough people that that have been through a lot.

That's a largely forgotten island, and now it's one of the talks of the world.

And I think that's just really exciting.

And I think, again, if the deal were to be brokered, only President Trump could do it.

And Denmark is not utilizing it.

Instead, they're actually, I think, harming the great people of Nook and Greenland.

And hey, one day we might have lots of non-stop flights from New York and Chicago to Nook.

And I would love to welcome the people of Greenland in the United States of America.

It would be interesting because the real obstacle here is Denmark.

They have, you know, we've tried to buy Greenland several times, you know, back in the 1800s, it began.

And Denmark is no, no, no, no, no.

But, you know, a trillion dollars.

We've given a trillion dollars away to the banks.

This would be the best expenditure of a trillion to a trillion and a half dollars that America could make.

That's a real investment.

But do you think the Danes would be interested at all?

Well, again, it's the art of the deal, right?

So just kind of thinking out loud here.

Number one, how much of a say do the Danes actually have?

We pay for all their military defense basically through NATO.

We're the ones that are keeping Putin at bay.

We're the ones that continue to fund all of these military bases throughout Europe.

So maybe it's time that we flex a little bit of that muscle and use some of that leverage of all of these blank checks that we've been writing all throughout Europe.

That's number one.

Number two, though, is that Denmark is not not even using the natural resources that are at their disposal to be able to, guess what?

Make Europe no longer dependent on Russian oil.

I mean, to make Europe no longer dependent on Middle Eastern oil.

So what you have is this incredible reservoir of oil and natural gas that is much closer in approximation to Europe than any of the other places they get oil from.

And then finally, I think you make this astute point.

Denmark is nowhere near as wealthy a country as America.

And the people, and this is the final final kicker, the people of Greenland do not like their current rulers.

If it was held to a vote, they would vote to leave Denmark.

In fact, you saw the Greenlandic prime minister in the news saying, we want our independence.

We no longer want to be part of this.

We want to be our own sovereign nation.

That's a great first step.

That means they want to break free of the shackles of the Danish government who mistreat them.

And Glenn, you would really appreciate this.

There were young people of Nook.

I'm talking 18, 19, 20 years old that follow us on TikTok and and follow us and they're fans.

And they said, when we go to Copenhagen, which is our, you know, we are mistreated.

We are called racist.

They're racist.

They don't like us.

They say, get out of Copenhagen, go back to your home of Nook.

But when we meet Americans,

we are treated like human beings that have opportunity.

And isn't that the American story?

We don't care about where you're from.

We care about your potential.

And they finally said this.

They said, the nicest people that ever come to Greenland on the planet are always Americans.

They said they always come, and they're so warm and they said the Europeans, they don't want anything to do with us.

And so there's a lot here, Glenn.

It's not as if that these people are thrilled with their current relationship with Denmark.

No, no.

And I think this deal could be brokered and it would exponentially benefit the United States of America.

So,

you know, the things that Donald Trump is talking about now, Greenland, he is absolutely serious about that, and he should be.

I think it would be a tremendous, I mean, that's a moonshot.

That's a president looking to the future.

And the same with Panama Canal.

Panama Canal is in the hands of China right now.

And this is a Cuban missile crisis kind of scenario that I haven't heard anybody talk about until Donald Trump.

It is true national security.

Canada, I think he's just trolling Canada and negotiating.

You know, he's serious about the border, but what a great way to say, instead of saying,

I am going to rake your people over the coals with

all kinds of tariffs if you don't stop what's happening on the border, instead saying, you know, trolling Trudeau at the same time saying, hey, why don't you join the family, man?

We'd love you.

We already love you.

Let's just come together.

I mean, brilliant strategy, I think.

Yeah.

And look, the Canadian thing, to be honest, as an American going, I don't know if I want all of Canada.

I don't either.

And if they want to buy Minnesota, I'll sell it to them for a cup of coffee and maybe a half a sandwich.

Exactly.

I think we could trade Alberta for Minnesota.

That would be

great.

I love the people of Minnesota, but Minneapolis is not great.

Edmonton is great, too, by the way.

Tons of natural resources and wonderful people.

But look, the Panama Canal, we could talk extensively about that.

I mean, the president is as serious as sin on that one.

That is the choke point right now.

We built it.

A lot of Americans died building it.

We never should have given away control of it.

It's what connects two hemispheres together.

And look, the Chinese are trying to build build another canal right now in a neighboring country because they're afraid that America might actually take back control of the Panama Canal.

So Greenland plus Panama would strengthen the northern hemisphere, our hemisphere here, the western and northern hemisphere, would strengthen it in a way for generations to come, especially as we are seeing the rise of the belligerent Chinese Communist Party.

I haven't been able to get a hold of Mr.

Rand or McNally.

Can the president just say it's going to be the Gulf of America?

You know, that's a really interesting question.

The answer is yes.

So there's these boards and commissions that rarely get any of attention.

You might remember Obama went through one of those boards and commissions and renamed Mount McKinley to Denalis.

And

it's just a naming commission, and the president has full authority of who sits on them.

And so the president is probably going to put five or six loyalists there and rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

I love that.

By the way, more

of our coastline is there.

Why is it that we named it the Gulf of Mexico?

So that one's getting done.

Out of all the ones, it is going to to be the Gulf of America and

President Trump that will be one of his many legacies.

So, Charlie, what is your role?

I mean,

are you part of the transition committee?

Are you just kind of just, you know, there from time to time?

My title is friend of the president.

Friend of the president.

No, I'm just here to be helpful.

I'm still running turning points, still doing the show.

And I'm just blown away, Glenn, at the opportunities that I'm being given and

the people I get to speak to.

It's just, I have to pinch myself.

I'm humbled by it.

I'm so excited by everything that Trump is doing.

I become more optimistic every single day in watching him and seeing where we're going.

Can I ask you something really self-serving?

Yes.

Okay.

Oh, God, yes.

I'd like to see how powerful you are.

I want to be on the 250th anniversary committee that is putting together the

anniversary anniversary of our country in 26.

And I got a lot I can bring to the table.

Who do I talk to?

I think you'd be spectacular, and there is going to be a special commission for that.

By the way,

it's not the bicentennial.

It has a very long name.

It's like the Quinton Bicentennial.

I can't remember.

Centennial.

I know, I know, I know.

You keep calling it the 250th.

No, no, that's right.

Just to educate the audience, though, coming up next July, not this July, next July, July 26th, is our 250th birthday.

And the president wants to do something spectacular

and bold.

And it will

be amazing.

I've got 40 seconds.

Any update on Dennis Prager?

Oh, boy.

You know, it's funny.

Dennis went to Greenland this last summer, so I called him from Greenland, and he was just thrilled to hear from me.

He's still in a very serious condition right now.

He's fighting every day.

I'm not at liberty to talk about all the medical details, but everybody in your audience, please.

Pray and fast for Dennis Prager.

We need that extraordinary mind back behind the microphone and finishing his Torah commentary.

But I'm communicating with him and his family on a daily basis.

So please pray for Dennis Prager.

Yeah, Charlie, as always, great to talk to you.

So proud of you and so happy for your success.

God bless.

Thank you.

All right.

We will see you tomorrow, tonight at 9 p.m.

Blaze TV, our Wednesday night special.

The predictions that I am making for 2025.

What is coming in 2025?

You don't want to miss it tonight on Blaze TV.

Here's Glenn Beck.
