It's a new day, I tell you right
Welcome to the fusion
of entertainment
and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
This may be the
most important
monologue of my career as of today.
And I ask that you listen carefully.
You
share this with friends.
You read between the lines.
Make sure you're really listening.
Some of these things are going to get harder and harder to say and
I may only say them once.
That monologue begins in 60 seconds.
Burna is
something that is non-deadly force.
Deadly force is needed a lot, but there are those situations to where you'd like to have non-deadly force.
And quite honestly,
you know,
the electronic shock or the pepper spray that you have on your key ring is...
You're very close to that when that happens.
Burna has a launcher that I think you're going to want.
I have one for each member of my family.
It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will teach someone a very painful but non-lethal lesson.
It's legal in all 50 states.
No premier permits or background checks are required, and it can be used by all age groups over 18.
The Burna launcher has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds that have a 60-foot range.
One One shot can
incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.
Government agencies, law enforcement are using these all around the country.
It is a great addition to your home's defense.
It gives you the extra options you might need.
Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com/slash/glen.
That's burna.com/slash glenn.
All right, let me.
I want to piece this together together as best I can.
There's a lot of factors on this, but I want you to listen carefully.
This week, you have the Davos gathering.
And in Davos, the most important thing,
this is above climate change and everything else, is miss and disinformation.
The president of the European Union just spoke at Davos, said, our freedom comes with risks.
The top concern is disinformation and misinformation as the boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner.
The top concern for the next two years is not conflict.
It is not climate.
It is disinformation.
and misinformation.
The Global Risk Report says that that addressing misinformation and disinformation take priority even over extreme weather events.
War, terrorist attacks, and
inflammation, inflation.
Got it?
Global warming is an existential threat.
Terror attacks like what happened in Israel and war,
inflation, which can collapse your dollar.
all of those things are now secondary
to miss and disinformation for the global business community the top concern for the next two years is not conflict it's disinformation and misinformation
The boundary between online and offline is getting thinner and thinner and it is more important than ever in the era of generative AI.
The World Economic Forum's global risk report puts artificial intelligence as one of the top potential risks of the next decade, but of the next two years, it's you.
They also called for a global regulatory body to oversee artificial intelligence, in other words, take control of AI
and digital ID systems, akin to
vaccine passports.
It is important, she said, to harness and guide this technology responsibly.
So what does all that mean?
I believe that we are now measuring things in my world by days and months, not by years.
We are now looking at
people labeling us,
me,
the Daily Wire, anybody you trust
as mis and disinformation.
And it is happening in real time.
We told you a couple of weeks ago that our spy agencies and our Pentagon are
in league with the five eyes and they are doing misinformation, disinformation editing, and also cognitive training.
So they are training the way you think by controlling what you're seeing.
Let me give you this story that just came out from the Independent.
This is new today.
Climate misinformation is rapidly mutating across social media, allowing nefarious actors to skirt restrictions and continue to profit, according to a new report.
With climate-driven disasters now impossible to ignore, outright denials of climate climate change no longer hold up with most people.
That's not true.
The people who believe in climate change, the people who are believing that this is some sort of disaster, is actually
going down.
It has less credibility than ever before.
In the murky online realm of climate misinformation, there is a shift in tactics that is in motion.
Researchers, notice that word, researchers
analyzed thousands of hours of YouTube content from the past six years and found that old climate crisis denial, which claims that global heating is not happening and burning fossil fuels is not the cause, is giving way to a new type of misleading content intended to muddy the waters.
The report by the nonprofit research group, Center for Countering Digital Hate.
This is the Media Matters, if you will, the new replacement, I think, for media matters.
It comes out of England, but there's also an office here in America.
We'll get into that on a later episode.
They found that this new denial falls into a few broad groups, that the impact of global warming or global heating are beneficial or harmless.
The second group is climate solutions won't work.
and that client science climate science and the climate movement can't be trusted.
Those are all myths and disinformation.
Client scientist and author Michael Mann describes these new misinformation strategies as the five Ds of inactivism, deflection, delay, division, despair, and doomism.
They found that videos containing new denials doubled since 2018 on YouTube.
In total, there were more than 34,000 climate crisis denial claims on 96 channels that were analyzed, amounting to more than 325 million views.
The shift has been rapid and stark.
As old climate denial narratives declined across YouTube, new denial
has surged.
The later now accounts for 70% of climate misinformation on YouTube, while old denial has dropped 30%.
The Amrad Ahmed, the CCDH's chief executive, explained, so this story from The Independent has one source,
and it is media matters, if you will, this new group that is trying to counter digital hate.
There has been a clear shift in the climate misinformation on YouTube in the last six years, blah, blah, blah.
Mr.
Ahmed said the new findings were somewhat optimistic because they showed that scientists and activists have been successful in conveying the facts of climate change to people.
Climate advocates and policymakers must recognize this shift or risk losing the information battle necessary to deliver climate solutions.
Let me say that word, that sentence again.
Climate activists and policymakers must recognize this shift or risk losing the information battle necessary to deliver climate solutions.
While climate denial trends were evident across social media, blah, blah, blah, the study focused on YouTube, which is owned by Google, a platform that has formidable presence as information resource for billions of people while at the same time
being able to
reward people on that channel.
Using AI tools trained on climate denial, the study found YouTube has made up to $13.4 million in revenue on videos espousing new types of climate crisis.
Google's current policies, which are intended to demonetize and de-amplify climate misinformation, do not tackle the new denial.
YouTube continues to serve ads on old forms of climate crisis denial barred under its policies.
Google also announced in 2021 that it would stop monetizing climate crisis denial content.
In a statement to the Independent, a YouTube spokesperson said, our climate change policy prohibits ads from running blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
However, when content crosses the line into climate change denial, we stop showing ads on those videos.
The shift from older tropes on conservative outlet Blaze TV to a brand new climate denial.
The study analyzed videos made by fossil fuel lobby groups, media companies, and individual pundits.
One of those highlighted in the report is Jordan Peterson, a psychiatrist with 7.5 million YouTube subscribers.
His channel typically takes the format of interviews with fellow climate change deniers, where posts have included titles such as The Great Climate Con and The Killing The Poor to Save the Planet.
The Independent contacted Dr.
Peterson for comment.
Blaze TV, founded by conservative firebrand Glenn Beck, regularly features climate change denial.
The media company has also shared false claims about the 2020 presidential election along with hosting Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
In a video published July 2022 and watched 71,000 times, Mr.
Beck claims the Biden administration is using the climate crisis as a cover for government control and a great reset, an online conspiracy theory that claims the global elite is trying to dismantle capitalism and create a new social order.
They do not care about saving the planet.
They know climate change is not going to kill millions around the world.
This is about gaining power and control over you.
They are using this so-called emergency to justify a great reset, Mr.
Beck said on the video.
The Independent, much to my surprise, has contacted Blaze TV for comment.
The CCDH, the Center for
Disarming Hate, study found that in some cases, YouTube splits ad revenues with a channel reportedly paying 55% to the content creator and retaining 45%.
The ads served on the new denial were major brands like Hilton Hotels, Global Charities, Save the Children, and International Rescue Committee.
They called on YouTube and other social media platforms to update their policies to keep up with the new forms of climate crisis denial, along with removing any financial incentives and reducing their reach and visibility.
People have the right to post this content, but do you have to reward them with money and give them a megaphone?
They added, we're not blaming Google for not recognizing this, but we want to make some small changes to their policies.
Don't reward this content and profit from it.
More in 60 seconds.
Let me ask you a personal question.
Are you living with pain?
If so, how bad is it?
If we're talking 10 out of 10, been there, brother.
Now, here are more important questions.
How long are you going to put up with it?
And have you tried everything to get rid of it?
My answer five years ago was yes, I tried everything because I went to all the specialists and everybody else.
And the one thing I didn't try was something called Relief Factor that I had heard about on the radio.
And I'm like, this is not going to work.
This is not for me.
I got serious pain.
Well, Relief Factor worked for me.
In horrible pain, I got my life back.
Relief Factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight that pain by fighting inflammation.
100% drug-free, developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain.
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start Kit, and 70% of them have gone on to order it again.
So see how Relief Factor just might help you with their three-week quick start kit.
It's $19.95 and comes with a Relief Factor feel better or your money back guarantee.
So you have nothing to lose but your pain.
Give it a try.
ReliefFactor.com, 1-800-4 Relief.
1-800, the number 4, relief.
When you feel the difference, you know it works.

10 seconds, station ID.
Let me ask you this.
When was the last time you saw Russell Brand in your feed?
Since he was destroyed by smear tactics, and do we know they're true?
Yes.
Did the BBC know they were true back then?
Yes.
Did he say they were true?
You know, did he allude that, yeah, I was that kind of guy and I'm not that kind of guy anymore long before the charges?
Yes.
Why is it that when he was all over
Davos, ESG, and the global warming thing, why is it he cannot be found anymore?
He's still doing his broadcast, but you don't hear anything about him.
This is what I called about three or four years ago and got hammered for it,
a digital ghetto.
That they were going to ghetto any voices they didn't, it's what the Germans did to the Jews.
Look, you have a right to be out and, you know, have your place and you can have your say just behind this wall.
wall they were called ghettos and after they were not seen they could easily be liquidated now I don't I hope nobody's thinking about liquidation
however there is a digital wall that is being built for voices that disagree
reasonably
and read things differently than the governments want you to read.
For instance, Elon Musk, Elon Musk, this digital hate organization, do you know who they're after?
Their number one threat?
Is Elon Musk.
If you care about global warming, why would you go after Elon Musk?
Because they care about countering hate, you see.
And Elon Musk won't play their game.
By the way, our disinformation,
the one that we were called
all kinds of names for,
liars, dangerous liars.
We told you that
the laptop of Hunter Biden was real.
Did you know that just yesterday, the Department of Justice has acknowledged Hunter Biden's laptop content is legitimate for the first time
yesterday.
Now, who is engaged in disinformation?
The government or us?
by the way the January 6th videos from Capitol Hill prove now the Blaze has proven it that the Capitol police officer lied in the oath keepers trial and he wasn't the only one and we have released the video
have you tweeted it have you put it on Instagram is it trending anywhere
or is that too being suppressed because it's misinformation even though the video shows it to be absolutely 100%
provably accurate?
No.
So who's lying to you?
Us or the government?
There's a story out, is corporate ESG investing over?
Here's my answer.
No, it's just going to change names and they're going to do what they always do.
How about this story from reason?
The fiscal hawks were right about debt and interest rate.
We are told that there is financial disinformation, that those who disagree with what the government is saying, that we are a danger to you because we disagree with them.
How about COVID?
Did you know that Fauci just last week finally admitted that that wasn't a conspiracy theory, that it came from the Chinese labs, that that wasn't missing disinformation?
Who lied to you, the government or us?
By the way, news story out today from the New York Post: COVID-19 strain kills 100% of infected mice in a new Chinese lab study.
They're still doing it.
Who's lying to you?
Us or them?
World leaders met this week.
They're still doing it to
thrash out a plan to protect against disease X, which they say is a coming pandemic.
And they need all kinds of power.
By the way, Open AI CEO Altman was at Davos.
He said, future AI depends on energy breakthroughs.
But We all know how dangerous AI is.
We all know it.
We've watched the movies.
It's the elites that want control of it.
That's one of their objectives this week at Davos, to control it.
And at Davos, the Microsoft CEO said, there's nothing that cannot be controlled by humankind.
Basically, let me translate, we are
gods.
There is only one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
One God.
And they do not serve them.
Now an important warning coming next.
Glenn Beck.
Cybercrime is the gift that keeps on given even after you get what they've taken back, if you get it back.
You can still be looking at a damaged credit rating, compromised employment background checks, things like that.
You might not even be able to pay your bills on time.
And then that piles up.
That's why it's so much better to have Lifelock.
Your personal information is exposed so often, making it really easy for cyber criminals to steal your identity.
But protecting yourself can be easy with Life Lock by Norton.
Life Lock detects and alerts you to the threats you might not spot on your own, things like loans taken out of your name or cyber criminals pretending to be you.
Don't become a victim of identity theft.
Get a U.S.-based restoration specialist to work to fix it if somehow or another they miss something at LifeLock.
They can't stop everything, but they're the best in the business.

American hostages still held in Gaza day 103.
Welcome to the Glen Beck program.
If you missed the first half hour of this broadcast, I urge you to go back and listen to that first half hour on the podcast today.
It's wherever you find your podcasts currently,
and it is a very important monologue.
Let me pick it up now on part two of it.
Let me tell you what just happened in Canada.
Jordan Peterson
has,
in his attempt to have the Ontario justice system prevent the College of Psychologists of Ontario from ordering him to undergo remedial social media training
has lost his bid.
Panel of three judges in the Court of Appeals dismissed his motion for leave to appeal an earlier decision by the Ontario Divisional Court.
No reason was given.
So this is giving Canada and Trudeau,
it's giving all of the regulatory bodies and any organization that has a, you have to have a license, a much broader uh
field to be very very aggressive now
there is no free speech in canada this is now codified by that court over the course this is what they got him on over the course of 2022 the college which governs the conduct of psychologists practicing in ontario received a number of complaints about peterson's online behavior the concerned tweets include his tweet about a plus-side sports illustrated model whom he said was not beautiful,
Elliot Page's gender transition, who he said had her breasts removed by what he called a criminal physician.
There are also complaints about his views on climate change.
and aggressive conduct towards Gerald Butts, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's former principal secretary.
They investigated those complaints and felt that he needed to go into a re-education camp or lose his license.
Why doesn't he just give up his license?
Because then you abandon
a very
important,
licensed group of people,
doctors.
Once you get people of conscience out,
you can do anything.
They've already purged the doctors who disagreed with listening to the government and listening to Big Pharm about only one way to treat COVID.
They've already gotten rid of those people.
They got rid of the doctors and the nurses that wouldn't wear masks, wouldn't distance six feet, said that was nonsense.
We now know it is.
They got rid of the doctors who said, this does not look like it came from bats.
This looks like it was designed in a laboratory.
They got rid of all of those people.
You cannot keep getting rid of doctors and psychiatrists who have a conscience.
But that's what's happening.
And they're doing it to now those of us who speak out to try to tell you the truth as we perceive it.
These are opinions, but you cannot have opinions anymore.
They say that I'm a climate denier, climate change denier.
No, look, climate is always changing.
Always.
I disagree, and I have since an inconvenient book, which was printed, what, 2008?
I thought it was a couple of years before that, actually.
Okay, so since this, I mean, I wrote a whole book about climate change and Al Gore, and I say in it
that I agree the climate is changing.
It always does.
And I can read a thermometer.
At that time, it was going up.
But I think that all of the solutions are insane because it will cripple,
cripple society, cripple all modernity.
What did they get me on here, Stu?
From the report?
Yeah, from the report that was the Independent is now reporting that I'm being monitored and watched because I'm dangerous.
As if you don't know your evils.
This is, I'm looking through the report.
Here's one of the things they say makes you guilty.
Quote, if we try to go without fossil fuels in our lifetime, you're going to see the standard of living plummet.
You're going to see our security plummet, and it's going to be a disaster, end quote.
Yep, that's my opinion.
But apparently that's misinformation.
I mean, that's an incredible one because
in our lifetime, what are you?
I mean, you're going to be five years from death?
I mean, we're not going to be able to turn this around.
I'm not suicidal, by the way.
No, but seriously, what you're talking about, the next 40 years, right?
Yeah.
That would be a hell of a transition.
Sure.
By any standard, that if you transition completely away from fossil fuels in the next 40 years, and by the way, the way you phrase this, you're not even limiting
a transition possibility.
You're just saying it can't happen that quickly.
Yeah, I was talking about 2030 and 2035.
So I think that's a pretty defensible opinion, but also it's just an opinion.
It's just what you think might happen.
This is what I do for a living.
Then we have,
let's see.
Beck, this is incredible.
Beck falsely claims there's been zero warming for over a decade.
Media Matters for America is the source of this claim.
April 23rd, 2010.
Now, I happen to just, just for the fun of it, go back to 2010.
When you made this claim, you would be talking about the
2009 would not have been released yet.
You'd be talking about
the decade of 1998 to 2008.
In 1998, we were plus 0.63 degrees Celsius.
In 2008, we were plus 0.55 degrees Celsius.
So actually, there was a very slight, again, you were not saying there was no climate change.
You were just saying in the decade you were talking about, there had been no warming across the globe.
That is from the NOAA.
NOAA.gov.
You can check that out.
You can see this information because it disagrees.
Now, listen, here is the important thing.
I can't believe I'm telling you this, and I've been subtly telling you for a while that it is coming.
It is no.
no longer coming.
It is here.
I started the Blaze to be the Alamo, to only rely on you, that they would crush us every way they can.
And they are going to.
They are starting to.
My Facebook page is down 95%.
Now there's no way that is true.
We are having our best year ever.
The last three years have been tremendous growth.
We have more listeners and viewers than we've ever had, even when we were at Fox.
And yet my Facebook page is down 95%.
The only metric that is down is social media.
Isn't that weird?
Everything else is skyrocketed up.
Social media is down.
By the way, Facebook at one point, they brought me out to Silicon Valley to talk to their people.
Correct me if I'm misstating this, to find out how we were over-indexing Facebook.
I went, I thought I was going to join a meeting and I was going to ask them how we could better, and they said, no, we called you here.
You didn't call this meeting.
We called you here.
We wanted to know how you were over-indexing.
What is it that you're doing?
We want to study this.
Okay.
We've gone from that to down 95%.
Wow, that's weird.
All of a sudden, we've become morons on social media, even though we run a social media empire.
Hmm, that's weird.
Listen,
first thing you have to do
is go to my email newsletter.
It's free.
This story is, I think, the last story in it, or you can find it at the Independent
and
go look for all of the shows we have done recently on what our government is doing.
This is the Canadian and the European.
government targeting Google to silence us.
Now we also have this pressure in the United States.
You need to know what's true and what's not.
You need to alert your friends.
You can do it on social media, but I would private DM them.
I would put it on X because you know that it will go through on X.
I would subscribe to my free email newsletter, not because I want to tell you, but I need to know how to contact you if we lose touch.
I would also switch primarily to X.
That is troublesome as well because while this
organization planted or did this story independently with the Independent,
I went to their website.
Their number one target is Elon Musk.
This is not going to happen because of global warming.
This is a priority, mainly in America and the rest of the world, because of Donald Trump.
Look at what they're doing to Trump.
You don't think they'll silence people?
It will be troublesome for them.
As they've said in their own words, it will be troublesome because they have large audiences.
But the private sector needs to figure it out.
And that's why Google and YouTube and everybody else is going to receive the pressure already have Facebook down 95%
because our voices must be silenced
because Donald Trump this year poses a great threat to their power.
I would also have some money in Bitcoin.
I would begin to listen for what must become subtle.
I have a ham radio, do you?
I have a CB, do you?
I think I'm learning to play the piano now, but I think I should stop and learn smoke signals.
We must be able to communicate with each other.
The last is
my piece of advice to you that I urge you, please listen.
Get close to Christ.
Clear out all of the things you fear could be exposed.
Clear out all of the mistakes that you have made.
Use the atonement and redemption.
Use it.
It's a free gift.
It will take away many of your fears of, well, I got to do this because this could come out.
Get rid of it.
Stop it.
Just clean it up right now.
Because
as much as many of us in this business like to think we are replaceable or unreplaceable, we are very replaceable.
And I am urging you.
to become my replacement.
I am urging you now to do the things where you will be a credible source
in your own circle.
You must do research.
You must not just hop a bandwagon.
You must root yourself in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence if you want to save our country.
If you want to save souls, and people, then root yourself in the gospel.
My recommendation is both.
But I am very replaceable.
You won't like the replacement.
You must become the replacement.
Peace of mind can be a hard thing to find, especially in troubled times.
And if you're a prepper like I am.
No, Your Honor, I said pepper.
I said pepper.
I was spicy.
If you're a prepper like I am, it's hard to feel certain that you have prepared enough.
I know I haven't.
And I think about things all the time, and I haven't prepared enough.

Hello, America.
It is I,
the most talked about and name-dropped
in all of Davos.
The Glenn Beck program is here.
We have Kevin Roberts on with us in just a second.
He wrote a great, great op-ed that you need to hear because he's speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos tomorrow.
Why would the guy who's running the Heritage Foundation possibly speak at the World Economic Forum?
Well, if his speech is anything like his op-ed he wrote for the Blaze, I think it was last week, it's going to be a fireworks show.
We're going to talk to him in 60 seconds.
Having a cell phone in your pocket shouldn't be a ringing endorsement for leftist causes.
Unfortunately, these days, if you're hooked up with one of the big networks, chances are pretty good that that's exactly what's going on.
Look, you and I are part of a movement dedicated to creating a parallel economy and saving freedom, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence.
We need an art marketplace of ideas where everyone's free to express those ideas and goods and services from companies that don't sell out to the woke mob.
I want you to strongly consider today switching your phone service to Patriot Mobile.
Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.
On top of having everything you could possibly want in a mobile phone plan, one of the three major networks, Patriot Mobile, doesn't send your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of
America.
That is unusual today.
Well, I like the unusual.
I like the less beaten path, if you will.
They have affordable plans for your budget, excellent coverage, top-notch U.S.-based customer service.
It's patriotmobile.com slash Beck, patriotmobile.com slash Beck, or call them now at 972 Patriot.
They'll give you free activation when you use the offer code Beck.
It's 972 Patriot or patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
Heritage Foundation Heritage Action for America President Dr.
Kevin Roberts joins us now.
Are you in Davos?
I am.
I landed a few hours ago.
I've been walking around looking for cricket protein.
I haven't seen any yet, but basically in the safe confines of my hotel room, because there are thousands of knucklehead people out there, Glenn.
So how did you
how were you invited or did you have to buy your way in?
How is the Heritage Foundation
president invited to speak?
I'm still wondering that myself, honestly.
So we definitely would not have bought our way in.
The letter invitation came in sometime before Christmas.
And I, honest to God, when my chief of staff mentioned it to me, I guffawed because I thought he was playing a joke on me.
And he said, no, Kevin, I mean, this is a dead serious invitation.
We've vetted it.
They want you to speak on their theme, rebuilding trust in what the next conservative presidential administration will do.
And I said, man, I have no desire whatsoever.
to go to Davos.
So I went home and I mentioned my wife and she laughed at me and said, there's no way you're going to Davos.
Well, after sleeping on it, Glenn, to get to the point here, I realized that when you have the privilege that I do of Leading Heritage, which, as you know, has millions of supporters, that when you get invited to something like that, we don't want to just sit around the table.
We want to go and preach the truth.
We want to speak truth to power.
And I said, on behalf of all the people who support us, our friends who support us informally, I'm going to go to Davos and I'm going to speak the truth about what the elites are doing to us and our freedoms.
And that's why I'm here.
So what is it you're going to say?
Do you care to reprieve you a bit?
Absolutely.
The main thrust of my comments will be that the political elites, almost all of whom are here this week, have intentionally disconnected their plans from
what is good for the average person.
And I'm going to cite three or four, maybe even five policy areas where that's been the case, where the elites tell us we're actually troglodytes for believing A, that men are men and women are women.
B, that China is our number one adversary, not our friend.
C, that we believe that we ought not be investing in wind and solar with government subsidies because in fact it costs people their lives, especially in Europe.
D, that migration and open borders, especially here in the United States, but also all across Europe, is an intentional reordering of society.
And ultimately, what I'm going to be driving at is that the next conservative presidential administration just needs to take every idea ever mentioned in the history of the World Economic Forum and oppose them.
Oh my gosh.
I'm thinking there won't be a lot of applause.
Oh my gosh.
We've got to get videotape of that.
That is, I mean, that's crazy.
You know, you're in the room with a bunch of like bond villains.
They're a cat away on their lap from being a bond villain.
So these people.
Wow, that is brave.
So what are you expecting?
Did you tell them this?
No, I
graciously accepted the invitation.
I have received their guidance on what the discussion will be.
And, you know, I'll be well-behaved, but I can be well-behaved and also get to the point.
I'm not there to exchange pleasantries.
I anticipate that the response from the in-person attendees will be just horror.
And we've got security detail to whisk me out of that room.
But the point is that they need to hear that message.
Most importantly, the people who really need to hear the message are people who listen and watch your shows, Glenn.
Our fellow Americans who, not just for years, but for decades, have put up with the crap that comes out of Davos.
I mean, I didn't see John Kerry in person as I was walking around town earlier, but I just saw he was doing an interview, and he's talking about how basically you and I, or people like us, are backwards because we don't understand that the earth is on fire.
Someone has to come here and read them the Riot Act.
And I didn't wake up one day and decide that I wanted to be that person, but having received the invitation, having the job that I have, which you know I love, and loving the people most of all I represent, I am happy to be here.
Kevin, I have to tell you,
my respect for you has, I mean, it's always been
very high, but my respect for you has gone off the charts on this one.
I'd be vomiting blood if I were you at this point because you are walking into, you know, self-proclaimed most powerful people on the planet.
And you are telling them,
I oppose you, when
their number one priority is to regain trust.
That's the theme of it, regain trust.
And by doing so, what they're talking about is their number one priority is to silence those who are spreading mis and disinformation.
So So you're calling them on.
And I mean, you know, I've done it.
It's not fun, but you're calling them on and you're calling them on to their face.
God bless you.
Well, that's the best part, right?
I mean, it reminds me when I was a public school kid playing football, and
you kind of
understand what the other guy means, not by what he says, but when he punches you in the face or slaps you in the helmet.
And I'm certainly going to be well-behaved tomorrow.
I don't imagine they all will.
But that's what it's come to, right?
And the good news is, amid the depths of Western civilization, I believe that Providence is leading us into potentially turning the corner.
If you look at the election of Javier Millet in Argentina, Berg Wilders in the Netherlands, think about the fact that in 2024, we might very well be able to do that in our own country.
These people are running scared.
And I think one of the reasons that they wanted to increase their number of conservatives attending this year's conference from zero to three or four, Malay, the Hungarian president, Kristen Novak, and me, is because they realized the right is politically ascendant.
And so one of the messages that I want to convey is you're correct about that.
And it's probably too late for all of you to change your capital investments and your political proclivities.
But just know, the right is taking names.
And when we come back into power in the United States, we are going to wield that authority appropriately and ethically, but every last ounce of it until we reclaim our country.
So what does that look like with your mission at Heritage?
Our mission at Heritage, as we have discussed a couple of times, is of course to effect the revitalization of self-governance through good public policy at the federal and state levels.
And our big project is Project 2025, which, as you will remember, spans the entirety of the center-right movement in the United States.
And the whole point is to prepare the next president, next conservative president, with the people and the policies, the executive orders, the defenses against lawsuits in a way that the conservative movement has never done.
And so if you think about it, given that that's where a plurality of our resources at Heritage are being spent right now, that that is a perfect way to connect the dots between the big themes I'll talk about tomorrow and what we expect the next conservative president to do.
Because you know that while we can't be certain about the outcome of this election, we also understand that if a conservative wins, there's going to be a huge set of high expectations that we not wait until year two or year three or year four.
But to the heart of your question, what does that look like?
It looks like completing the oath of office, giving a very quick but aspirational inaugural address, and starting to dismantle the administrative state root and branch.
Because I think the president, I think the number was 40,000 appointments he has to make, pretty much right out of the chute.
Are you helping
assemble those names and do you have names that would work with Donald Trump?
That's some people's fear is that they have so isolated him and destroyed all the attorneys and everybody else that's been around him that people are afraid to work with him.
Have you found that?
Well, I've heard that claim, and I know that that claim
is offered by people who are thoughtful.
Honestly, Glenn, we have not found that to be true.
And
let me give you some evidence and numbers.
The president has roughly 4,500 political appointees that he makes, and that could be up to 40,000.
That depends, but 4,500 is the number that we're working with.
We already have more more than 7,000 names in our personnel database, all of whom, by submitting their application, knowing that, and of course, most of them did this before the Iowa results, knowing that President Trump was the frontrunner, but also that it might be Governor DeSantis or Ambassador Haley, they want to work with whoever that conservative president is.
Most of them are ideologically, philosophically...
Trumpian conservatives.
And so I'm very optimistic that there's great alignment there between them and President Trump if he ends up being the nominee and the victor.
And I also know that these are people who come from a variety of backgrounds.
They aren't just D.C.
swamp creatures.
You know, we do have to have a few people who know how agencies are run, but we put a real premium at Heritage on going around the country and recruiting normal people from the state so that they can come in, serve two or four years, eight years if the vice president is able to win a first term and really get about the work of restoring common sense in D.C., which is a way of restoring self-governance for the American people.
The administrative state is going to fight back hard.
They're already talking about it, that the Democrats and the White House are doing everything they can to find ways for the administrative state to fight back and to resist what the president wants to do.
How are you going to find all of those people and root them out?
Well, a few ways.
The first is that it would be fantastic if we're able to get so-called Schedule F reform, which allows the president to fire.
But we can't count on that the first day.
Do you believe in Vivek Ramaswamy's premise that if you don't work for the government, if you don't work for the president, then you work for Congress?
Absolutely.
I mean, that's ⁇ I went round and round with a New York Times reporter about this.
You can imagine which side she was on a couple weeks ago.
And I said, it is, you know, remember, I'm an early American historian, that it was the intention of the founders that the president runs the executive branch.
And so the whole premise of heritage is that the president has control of the executive branch.
And therefore, because
the reality of your point, it just can't be overstated, which is that 98% of the employees in the federal government aren't just philosophically opposed to conservatives.
They're going to be working actively against it.
We have
a team of attorneys.
the largest team of conservative attorneys, almost all of them working pro bono.
I won't go into a lot lot of detail here because I don't want to tip our hand, but they are prepared.
They're prepared.
They're prepared for the attacks that the left are going to make.
The political right, Glenn, has never done this in our history.
And I'm just hoping and praying, and obviously we're working really hard at Heritage with all of our organization friends in the coalition to make that happen.
Well,
I'm anxious to hear and see your speech.
I hope it's on videotape that will be released.
I don't know if it will be.
It's live streamed.
It'll be live streamed and that information's on our website, but obviously we'll get it out on all of our socials.
Yeah, great.
Hopefully there are some fireworks.
Yeah, hopefully.
Yeah, hopefully.
That sounds like it's going to be a powerful speech.
Don't back down.
Know that people will be praying for you.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
Thanks, Glenn.
God bless you.
God bless you.
Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, who is going to be speaking tomorrow at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
You know, Glenn, the best best way to keep someone like that away from Davos the second time is to not let him leave the first time.
So I
get on the first flight after that speech, is all I'm saying.
Yeah.
Oh, there was a bad snow bunny accident that happened.
I want to take a moment and tell you about Charlotte.
She didn't find out she was pregnant until she was about seven weeks along, and still, it was
she had enough time to get an abortion, and she figured that would be the best solution for her.
Thankfully, Charlotte wound up at a pre-born clinic where she was introduced to the sight and sound of her own unborn child.
In that moment, is the moment she chose life for her baby instead of the abortion she had been planning.
The child is alive and well today.
Charlotte's heart is filled with gratitude for people just like you who made a contribution to pre-born that made that ultrasound free.
Each of these babies is truly miraculous, and every day pre-born celebrates 200 miracles.
$28 a month can be the difference between life and death of a child.
When a mom meets her baby on an ultrasound and hears the heartbeat, it is a divine connection that doubles a baby's chance at life.
Together, let's join and help moms choose life and help moms for the first two and a half years of the baby's life so they don't feel alone.
Just dial pound250, say the keyword baby, that's pound250 keyword baby, or visit preborn.com slash Beck.

If you didn't read the op-ed
on Blaze, you should go back to theblaze.com.
And look for this from Kevin Roberts.
He says the media, the academy, government agencies, international organizations, corporations, the arts have all traded in centuries' worth of public trust in exchange for unaccountable ideological exploitation of the people they claim to serve.
Sooner or later, the everyday citizen, workers, and families who shoulder the burdens of the Davo-style global elitism will reclaim their individual rights and national sovereignty.
National leaders at this conference openly reject the nation-state.
They refuse to secure their own besieged borders.
Scholars and journalists openly subordinate facts to serve partisan ends that undermine transparency and the choice for their citizens.
Generals promote woke politics over military readiness.
Corporate executives ship jobs overseas to tyrants like China's Zizen Jinping while lecturing their own countrymen about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Artists and entertainers celebrate each other's sneering contempt for the people and values that fuel their privileged lives.
There's no mystery here.
Around the world, people distrust global elites because they hate us.
They use their power to disempower us and their cultural influence to smear anyone who questions their self-serving corruption.
This is the common virtue of constitutionalism, republicanism, nationalism, and free enterprise as they are traditionally practiced in the United States.
They are the subject elites' ambitions to the authority of the people instead of the other way around.
This arrangement is good for the world and for every person who's ever embraced it, but it's uniquely frustrating to
elites who resist checks on their power and resent accountability to the unwashed masses, which of course is the point.
To regain trust, Davos must accept the moral virtues, practical benefits, and natural rights of individual nations and ultimately families and individuals to govern themselves.
No serious person believes the global elite's
grand moral stand over the last generation, bowing to China, erasing borders, worshiping climate extremism, just so happen to serve their classed interest at the direct expense of ordinary people's democratic sovereignty and economic opportunity.
What we need is nothing more than the freedom to govern ourselves.
That's what Brexit, Donald Trump, Victor Orban, Javier Millay, Gert Wielders, and the rising global tide of populist patriotic conservativism represents.
Nationalism, the love of one owns nation and culture and policy-making preference from one owns people and customs cannot be erased and will not be trampled.
It must be respected.
Trust is a choice.
This is what he's the theme of what he's planning on saying tomorrow.
We will have that speech for you, hopefully, tomorrow by the time of the broadcast, so you can hear it ahead of the Heritage Foundation.
More in just a minute.

Our overlords are meeting in Davos to plan our future, and it sounds great.
The number one priority is not global climate change.
It's not wars.
It's not inflation.
It's not food.
It's nothing except misinformation and disinformation.
And they're trying to get all the global leaders to come together on this and make sure that voices, quite honestly, like mine and
the Blaze and people like Ezra Levant from Rebel Rebel News up in Canada are silenced.
Yesterday
at the conference, there was
a meeting on how do we shut these people up.
And the head of the Center for Democracy and Technology, his name is Alex Reeve Givens.
He said there's something bizarre happening in America.
Listen to this.
Even as we're living in this heightened threat environment, a number of the social media companies have actually been scaling back their investments in trust and safety, in particular around elections.
And those that are still keeping up the work are facing more political scrutiny and pressure to disband those efforts than ever before.
So in the United States, for example, right now, we have congressional investigations and lawsuits against people that study mis- and disinformation about elections on social media platforms.
There is currently an injunction in place stopping the Biden administration from communicating with social media platforms about interference threats on the topics of elections.
That's actually going before the United States Supreme Court this year.
So we're in this bizarre environment where, right as the threats are ticking up, the investments in actually doing the day-to-day work of online trust and safety for our information environment is being scaled back and is under attack.
And those are all things we need to recalibrate right now to try and address the threats.
Yeah, sorry, I thought for sure that Alex identified as a man, but apparently he's now identifying as a woman.
It is bizarre that we don't want government.
I mean, it's just out in our Constitution, constitution, but other than that, don't worry about it.
We have Ezra Levant, who is on the ground in the cold right now at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
How are the hookers, Ezra?
I'm the wrong guy to ask.
A friend of mine did a story of how every single escort within 100 miles was booked up by the World Economic Forum.
They're good people.
They're good people.
You know what?
This is a place of excess.
Let me give you an example.
There's a small private airfield about an hour and a half away from here.
And I went there to film the private jets landing.
And the airport told me that 150 private jets per day land at this airstrip just for the World Economic Forum.
They say that one week basically pays for the entire year.
That's like a city of half a million people.
That's how many flights might be there in an average day.
And it's more than that.
There's not enough room to park 150 jets at this small airfield.
So they fly in, drop off the V V I P, then they fly out to another airfield to park, and then they come back to pick up their person.
So, I mean, and then many of them take the helicopter for that last one-hour drive, because, God forbid, they be on the streets with the peasants.
That's the kind of luxury you see here.
But they're the ones telling us to reduce our carbon footprint.
They're the ones telling us not to fly as much.
But let me tell you what we're doing here.
We are not accredited journalists.
We applied and they obviously rejected us and that's fine so we can't get into the sessions like the one you just played a clip from but we're on the streets in this town of davos which is like a ski resort high in the alps and it's full of uh
i'm not gonna say celebrities but sort of political celebrities and because they feel like they're amongst friends and it's so hard to get here they let their guard down so just standing on the street and reading name tags i mean some people you can recognize like yesterday, I asked some questions of John Kerry about his private jet.
Today, my colleague Avi asked Dr.
Tedros of the World Health Organization some questions.
So these people don't have big entourages, and the Swiss police have a very light touch.
Penny Pritzker was here, and I asked her some questions about Harvard.
And so there's no way you would get this kind of access in almost any other place.
And like I say, the cops here are so gentle, they have not stopped us from scrumming anyone.
Yesterday, I walked with the president of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for 10 minutes straight, peppering him with questions.
He did not have any answers, but boy, I asked my questions, and that video has been viewed a million times overnight, Glenn.
I tell you, it's a crazy place where the masters of the universe get together to make the rules for the rest of us.
And there's only about half a dozen citizen journalists here.
The rest of them are regime journalists who pay to be here as official delegates.
So I saw, for example, Richard Quest from CNN.
I think he's a great journalist 90% of the time, by the way.
But we scrummed him going in there.
And we said, how come you only ask softball questions of Klaus Schwab?
Well, it's because CNN paid a quarter million dollars for them to get in as sort of a member.
You're not going to stink up the joint if you got the golden invitation.
So
I don't know.
I might pay.
I might pay for that.
I might write the check to go and have all of them come on my show.
Well, I mean, they might kick you out if you do that.
By the way, I'm standing in the promenade, and a huge bunch of military vehicles are passing through.
I'm not sure if that's just normal Switzerland stuff or if that's because Vladimir Zelensky is in town
and Emmanuel Macron is in town, and the Secretary General of the United Nations is in town.
These aren't just VIPs, they're VVIPs
and VVVIPs, and they let you know it.
So
what is the main thing you've taken from this?
Well, look, there are some people here who are just here to sell products and services because there's so many politicians and wow, there's such a military convoy going through the downtown here.
I don't even know.
what's happening.
Maybe Zelensky's on the move.
I just wanted to tell you that I'm live from the promenade in Davos right now, and I just, it's like a whole military, not a parade, but a series of big trucks.
Imagine juxtaposing that with your five-star celebrities.
Anyways, the number one message, as Plauschwab says, is information.
They say their theme this year is rebuilding trust, which because they know they've shattered trust with ordinary people over the last few years, whether it's COVID or lockdowns or junk science or inflation or immigration or whatever.
So they know they have to fix trust, but at the same time, they believe in censorship.
I scrummed a few different officials with Meta and my colleague scrumming an official from Google just a minute ago.
And all our questions are about, are they trying to strangle free discussions in the year of the 2024 elections?
Every one of them is aware of Trump's victory in the Iowa caucuses.
And I'm talking about people around the world.
This is not just Americans.
This is a very international
discussions at Davos centered around this is a real threat to our agenda.
Absolutely.
This can't happen.
If you were to take a poll of the VVIPs here at Davos,
90% of them would be against Trump.
Not necessarily for Biden.
They're just for anyone who won't upset the international order that they've established here.
And so, I mean, basically these Europeans and these globalists and these elites want to have a vote
without having a vote.
Here's what I mean.
For example, Klaus Schwab recently said AI is so progressed, we don't really need elections anymore because AI can figure out what the people want.
I've seen WEF presentations about how AI, artificial intelligence, can replace courts and judges because you just enter all the data and they'll just replicate what a good judge would do.
So the room for political bias in artificial intelligence, I say those are the two emphases I can see just on the streets here.
Censorship of, quote, misinformation and artificial intelligence.
Well, you combine those two things, and I tell you, you're in a brave new world right there.
So, Ezra, I want to talk to you about one thing that came to my attention yesterday.
There is a story in The Independent.
Climate misinformation is mutating on YouTube, and the platform is profiting.
And it is a story that mentions two people.
One of them is me and the Blaze.
And the Blaze, I guess, is making money from YouTube because they're not canceling us and putting us where we belong, which is nowhere, because we are discussing things like climate crisis denial content.
We also were talking about
the last election and saying that the last election had many
questions behind it.
The Great Reset, an online conspiracy theory that claims global elites trying to dismantle capitalism and create a new social order, which they are.
And the other person was Jordan Peterson.
Now,
they're targeting us through Google and Facebook.
My Facebook page is down 95%
in the best year I've ever had, including the years at Fox.
Never had a bigger footprint than now, but Facebook is down 95%.
Why?
The other published a video.
The other part of it is...
Yeah, go ahead.
That's deliberate.
They're trying to demonetize you.
We scrummed Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the ADL, and we asked them, why have you tried to kill advertising on Twitter, but never on TikTok?
And he wouldn't answer that.
And so that's what they're trying to do to you and Jordan Peterson.
And by the way, they're going to invent new, quote, crimes.
I saw the phrase ecocide being bandied about here.
So the same way you couldn't be a skeptic or have a contrary point of view on COVID vaccines, they're going to do the same thing for climate.
They basically telegraph that that's their plan.
Well,
one of the disturbing things, they did this last year to Russell Bran.
You don't even see him anymore.
He's still doing a podcast, but he never shows up on anybody's feed.
When's the last time you saw Russell Brand in your feed?
Well, I seek him out, but you're right.
They're trying to kill him financially.
Correct.
And the next thing is Jordan Peterson.
He lost in court yesterday
his appeal on having to go to some sort of a re-education camp because he said, and this is a quote:
the woman who was obese on Sports Illustrated Bikini was not beautiful.
It was sick.
And now he has to have re-education.
Yeah, and
that's in some ways a lot scarier.
The World Economic Forum is a bunch of people coming up with bad ideas, but they don't actually have the legal or judicial power to enforce them.
The trouble is, all the VVIPs here go home and go home to their legislatures or courts or businesses and implement it back home.
But the WEF itself doesn't have the power to do that here in Davos.
But what you're talking about, what happened to Jordan Peterson, that was a real court.
And the College of Psychologists of Ontario is a regulator that has the power to deny someone their profession.
Now, Jordan Peterson doesn't take any patients anymore.
He hasn't in many years, but they're trying to destroy his professional reputation.
Again, the college is there for doctors who are abusive or who, you know, take advantage of their clients or whatever.
You know, it's a professional organization to make sure that psychologists in Ontario are ethical.
They're using that for lawfare to silence him on completely unrelated matters.
And it's not just atrocious that they're meddling with his political views.
It's their sentence to him, their command, their order to him is that he basically go through a political re-education.
I mean,
he has to go to some, I don't know, the phrase is a coach or
a remedial social media class or something.
Yeah, whatever the Chinese call it, it's still a re-education camp.
Struggle session.
And here's the struggle session.
Yeah, struggle session.
And here is, ooh, my struggle.
I wonder who used that.
The other thing, though, that is disturbing is they are trying to scare doctors into silence.
They have already purged all of the doctors that would say something about the COVID vaccine.
The nurses, all of them.
Anyone with a conscience that's different than the state, they're purging them.
That's very dangerous, as you know.
Jordan Peterson is the most famous psychologist in all of Canada.
He's also wealthy and in some ways very influential and maybe even powerful.
So if they can do this to him, imagine what they can do to you.
This is pour encouragé les ultres.
This is to scare everybody else.
Yeah, they want to shut up Jordan Peterson.
I don't know if they'll succeed.
That guy doesn't shut up easy.
But what they're going to do is terrify a thousand other psychologists and doctors and nurses.
You know, there happens to be another nurse in the Canadian province of British Columbia who sponsored a sign that just said, I heart J.K.
Rowland.
Like, that's all she did.
And they took her before the Professional Association for the same sort of thing.
And so how many nurses, how many doctors, how many people of any profession are being terrorized into silence?
And it's all part of the same cultural Marxism or wokeism.
Hey, you know, yesterday I scrummed the president of State Street.
Do you know what that is?
It's like BlackRock.
It's a huge asset manager.
And I asked him, and that's what it's like here in Davos.
You never know who you're going to bump into.
And I said to him, aren't you putting your own politics ahead of your fiduciary duties to
your shareholders?
I said, you're promoting ESG, environmental and social governance, basic cultural Marxism.
I said, how can you do that and claim to be
the shareholders?
Well, he said, we're doing both.
He said, we're not going to stop with EST, but it's shareholder value.
And then I pressed on a little bit
and he wouldn't talk much more.
But that's what Davos is like at the World Economic Forum.
Thank you so much.

It's a new day, a time to rain.
Welcome to the fusion
of entertainment
and enlightenment.
This is the Glen Beck Program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Well, there's another scandal at the border and the White House has had it.
Let me tell you, I mean,
Greg Abbott, he came out and he said, we're not going to allow the Border Patrol on this property anymore.
We're shutting it down.
The Texas National Guard is going to be standing there and they're going to shut this border down.
Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness.
And then later that night, the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security said three migrants, including two children, drowned near a park after Texas officials physically barred Border Patrol agents from entering.
The Mexicans had to pull the bodies, each of them wearing jackets from the water on the other side of the Rio Grande.
Let me tell you something.
It's very, very upsetting.
When the White House comes out and says, look, they stopped us and
you're putting migrants at risk.
Except the truth is
completely different.
Now, nobody has really corrected this story in the mainstream press.
They all ran with it immediately.
White House said it.
Department of Homeland Security.

Todd Bentzman is with us.
He is the author of the book Overrun.
He's also at the Center for Immigration Studies.
He's a senior fellow there.
Todd, what really happened in Eagle Pass over the weekend?
Well, I mean, this is typical.
We have had a lot of drownings since the Biden administration opened the borders and started inducing people from around the world to come to it.
The migrants that they're talking about here, the intending illegal aliens, drowned upstream, floated down, and then got blamed on
usually Texas Department of Public Safety.
This is not the first time this has happened.
And they drowned before Texas took charge.
of that piece of property where they just seized it and kicked out all the Border Patrol.
Because the Border Patrol was there with a field processing station that was in just irresistible lure to thousands to just kind of pour through right there from Piedras Negroes.
So Texas decided to at least remove and deny that piece of property any longer to the Border Patrol.
So
keep in mind that there is context to this.
Just a few weeks ago, there was video taken by a Border Patrol agent.
He thought that he was catching Texas DPS boat Marine forces in the act of denying aid and assistance to drowning migrants right there at Eagle Pass also,
and put that out there.
And it created this firestorm and an investigation and accusations that Texas was letting people drown when actually they were saving those migrants and did save those migrants.
And
there was also
another case a couple months ago when, remember the river barrier, Glenn, where they put the floating river barrier in there?
Well, a couple of migrants floated down to it from upstream.
And the first thing the administration did, and also Democratic congressmen, lawmakers, everybody made a huge stink out of it is say that they drowned on that river barrier that Texas put up, that cruel and inhumane river barrier.
And just a little investigation, it didn't take much, showed that they had drowned upstream upstream and floated down and one of them got hung up on it, but they didn't drown on it.
And so this is just typical of the sort of, you know, disinformation campaign, I think is the way you put it, that the executive branch is engaging in right now in its war with Texas.
Everything that you hear.
about Texas DPS should be taken with a big grain of a big rock of salt
about
what's going going on because they're in a war.
It's a federal state war.
They're in war with each other where Texas is trying to shut down and deter and block illegal immigration into Texas.
The federal border patrol agents are under orders to let everybody in.
And so there's this sort of war going on.
That's why they took that piece of property.
And the Texans have done other things too.
And it's not just a physical
dispute, it's a legal one too, and lots of court action going on between these two parties.
So, are we actually slowing anything down?
No.
In fact, I have a piece up today.
It just broke at cis.org.
It's the only reporting you'll see like this anywhere
where the Biden administration has cut a deal with the Oberdor administration in Mexico.
And Mexico is actually getting aggressive on blocking illegal immigration through its territory now for the first time in really aggressive new ways.
They're rounding them up
across from Eagle Pass.
and putting them on buses and
shipping them to the south, to Capuchin, to the southern provinces.
They're flying them.
They're busing them, they are blockading on their side now, they are bulldozing migrant camps, they are shutting down all of those cargo freight trains for the first time in three years
that the immigrants have been using.
And the reason that they're doing this is because
remember, just a few weeks ago, Biden and Blinken went down there and had some shuttle diplomacy.
Majorcas went on a second trip on the 27th,
and then everybody came back and zipped their lips, didn't tell us what the deal was.
We still don't know what the deal was, but we know there was a deal now because of what Mexico is all of a sudden doing.
They've shut down the flow.
The Mexicans have slowed the flow from 14,000, 13,000 a day in December to 4,000 and 5,000 a day now, which, by the way, is still catastrophically high.
But this can only be said to be being done right now
through the December.
They're going to try to do this through December of this year, past the American election,
because they do not want those thousands of migrants under
news cameras that they were getting terrible visuals and optics.
across the country in December.
You remember this?
And that's really what the point of this is.
So, I mean, they can do it when they want to, when it's politically feasible.
We don't know what they paid the Mexicans.
I guarantee you, it was not some small payment.
Mexico was asking for $24 billion
for itself and some of its friends down there.
So something happened.
But be aware of that.
Todd, when we first
started talking about this massive migration up north.
We talked about it, it may have been 2017, 2018, when that first caravan came up.
And we did research and found that it was being organized by NGOs, some of them out of Chicago.
But now we have evidence, stunning evidence, that Doctors Without Borders, the UN,
the Red Cross are actually printing maps and showing people in South and Central America how to get here.
This is clearly a, I hate to use this word, but it's the best word, a conspiracy to overflow our borders.
Is it not?
It's absolutely accurate to say that those NGOs, lots of NGOs, there are actually hundreds of them on the south of the border, all the way into
South America and on our side of the border all the way up to Chicago and New York that are involved deeply in moving that traffic along facilitating it supporting it doing everything possible to make sure that nobody would ever feel deterred or go home
they they I've been there I've watched them personally watch them and videotape them handing out cash debit cards,
handing out cash-based assistance for hotels and buses, for
prescription drugs, for baby formula, for everything, all the way down there.
I have reported and written in the past,
not that long ago, that the number for 2023 was on the order of $450 million in UN funding for this.
what they call cash-based intervention.
This year, I'm looking at the documents.
I'll be writing about this next week.
It's $540 million.
Where is that coming from?
Where is that coming from?
It's online.
They publish it.
I can
direct you to
my...
No, no, no.
I mean, where is that money coming from?
Who is behind this?
Oh, the U.S.
Treasury.
That's coming.
That's U.S.
taxpayer money.
The U.N.
gets most of its money from the United States,
and then it passes through and is distributed by UN agencies to the NGOs.
And the documents that I'm writing about actually name them all.
It's got a big list, 248 different NGOs for 2024.
Keep an eye on my reporting.
I'll have a piece out on this next week.
You're right.
It's happening.
Now, the way they would couch it is
the UN, I've interviewed them, and they say, well, you know, they're coming anyway, so we need to save them from, you know, all the dangers out here.
But, you know, Republican lawmakers look at this in a very different way, and I think that it's valid,
that this is aiding and abetting, and it's material support for illegal smuggling.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
When you have that report out, call us back.
We'll put you on the program because I'd like to pursue this further.
You know, people just think, oh, this is just happening.
No, this is all
well financed and coordinated.
And it's not just happenstance that it's happening.
It's not.
Todd, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Good to be here.
Thank you.

well the justice department
Justice Department came out yesterday finally and told the truth about that accident.
Oh, whoops, we got that one wrong.
Yeah, I guess they were already dead and they didn't physically restrain us.
Oh, okay.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
You want to talk about the biggest
mis and disinformation campaign?
The headquarters are at the government agencies.
Period.
They are.
Let's see.
There's a couple of other things I want to hit.
To that point, Clint, before you do, you know, it's surely true that there are plenty of people on the internet saying all sorts of very false things.
Yes.
We all know that.
The difference is when the government says something false, it comes with all of the power and institutional authority that goes along with that.
It's different than some online conspiracy theorist saying something that's false.
Of course, those people exist.
They do.
So what?
You ignore them.
Everybody ignores them.
And here's the difference.
You know, when the government says something, they don't say, do your own homework.
Here's all the stats.
They don't.
We do.
I always tell you, do not trust me on anything.
I don't ask for your trust.
I'm glad that people do trust me, but I think that's just from over the years, you know, people really listening and knowing, is he right?
Is he wrong?
Building a reputation over a long period of time.
Correct.
And they've done everything to destroy that reputation.
Here's the thing.
They don't tell you.
They say don't think on your own.
I say do.
Question authority.
Question with boldness.
Everything.
That's the difference.
And we will correct it.
They fight to correct it.
They only correct it when they're caught and have to.
I correct it when we realize we're wrong for some reason or another.
That's...
honest reporting.
That is people who are trying to do their best.
They are not trying to do their best.
They're trying to do their best to keep you from the truth.
By the way, here's Trump yesterday.
Let me just play a couple of things.
Here's Trump yesterday on Vivek Ramaswamy.
Cut one.
Good to see you, Doug.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Wow, that's how was that?
Pretty good, right?
That was pretty good.
And he's a fantastic guy.
And he's really,
he's got something that's very special because he he started off with a zippo and he's got he ended up very strong he did a great job i was actually surprised when he called because he was doing well and it's an honor to have his endorsement he's going to be working with us and he'll be working with us for a long time
okay so there's there's trump on vivek ramaswamy uh remember secretary austin was just going in for elective surgery no big deal as i speculated at the time it was probably for penile reduction surgery he can't he just wants it as small as he possibly can make it.
But I was wrong, but it is in the area.
It's cancer for a prostate.
Here he is calling for an ambulance, the 911 call.
Listen to this.
Can I ask, can the ambulance not show up with lights and sirens?
We're trying to remain a little subtle.
Really?
In other words, we're trying to keep this out of the press.
We're trying to keep this even from the president.
We're trying to keep this even from the person that is my double, somebody that is supposed to take over when I'm incapacitated and stand in for me.
That person wasn't even notified until days after that call.
Oh, and by the way,
when she found out, she was on the beach in Puerto Rico and said, you know what?
I planned my vacation for a long time.
I'm on vacation.
If you have a problem, you call me.
That was who replaced our Secretary of Defense and the president didn't even know about it.
But no, no, no, you can trust them.
You can absolutely trust them.
How much time do I have here?
We told you also that there's a story.
Listen to the first
monologue in today's podcast, please.
It's very important.
Probably the most important monologue I've done to date.
And you'll find that wherever you get your podcast.
But I told you that that they're not only coming after certain people, they are really targeting Elon Musk.
Here's the foreign policy editor-in-chief of World Economic Forum speaking about Elon Musk.
And I think that's the right place for a lot of these questions around this to be centered with the support of technologists to help us help you better tell those stories and differentiate truth from fiction.
I'm going to let both of you jump in.
I just wanted to add, however, not all tech CEOs admit that they're not good at every single thing.
So I thank you for that.
At least one tech CEO hasn't been invited here
who likes to think he's very good at media as well.
That would be Elon Musk.
They're doing everything
they can, publicly and privately, to destroy Elon Musk.
You're going to see an increased effort.
This is what the WEF is all about
this year.
Miss and disinformation and silencing those who disagree.
Again, listen to today's podcast.
Tonight at nine o'clock, I'm going to give you real information and again show you the White House is giving you disinformation.
It is the truth on the economy, all charts and graphs tonight.
That's really exciting.
People love it when I see charts and graphs.
They're like, oh, really?

Well, if it isn't my good friend Brad Meltzer, the Emmy-nominated Brad Meltzer, number one New York Times best-selling author, the lightning rod, 12 other best-selling thrillers.
He also writes nonfiction books like The Nazi Conspiracy, which was fantastic.
Ordinary People Change the World kid book series, which has inspired the TV show.
And I'm not going to hold this against him because it does air on PBS, but that's, I'm not going to hold.
He is also
the author of Xavier Riddle and The Secret Museum, which is on PBS.
And he's just a good, good friend and a history lover.
Welcome, Brad Meltzer.
How are you, sir?
Good.
Always good to be back.
Yeah.
So you've written a new book for kids.
Ordinary people can change the world.
I know when you started this, you didn't know if this was going to be a big hit or not.
You were writing it for your kids.
I started this on your show.
We launched this.
You helped me launch this.
And you knew my love of history.
I just wanted my kids to have better heroes to look up to.
And because in America, what we've lost today are our values.
We've lost...
kindness.
We've lost, remember when humility was a great American value?
We've lost that, right?
That's gone.
And I was like, how do I I teach my kids to be kind, to be compassionate, to be, you know, to persevere and never ever give up?
And I was tired of them looking at millionaire overpaid athletes and people who are famous for being famous.
So we started with I'm Amelia Earhart and I'm Abraham Lincoln.
We launched it on this show.
Glenn, I think I had a full head of hair when we launched it.
But it's been 10 years.
I know I didn't actually.
But it's been 10 years since we've done this.
I didn't know if it was going to work.
And now we're 10 years into this experiment.
7 million copies.
7 million copies.
And you know why?
Because there's no politics to them at all.
I mean, I go on Fox News with them and I can go on NPR on them.
I can come here and I can go anywhere else.
And everyone realizes, oh, this is how history actually is.
It should not be an argument.
No.
And I love it.
Because everybody, all of our historic figures, all of them, even the ones we're creating today, are flawed.
They're people and they're flawed.
A hundred percent.
So I think we we do a huge disservice to our heroes.
You know, we did, we did, I am Rosa Parks.
I am Albert Einstein.
My son loves sports.
I was like, forget an overpaid athlete.
Meet I am Jackie Robinson.
Oh, yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
And again, these are, you can't, you know, my son who's.
Hang on just a second.
I just saw his application to play ball for somebody.
And he said, it said, personal goal.
And he said to get,
he didn't say African Americans.
I don't remember what he said, but to get African Americans to be able to play in the major leagues.
Spectacular.
I mean, just spectacular.
What?
Right.
I mean, great doctor.
And again,
you can't argue these.
These are heroes.
Now, and what we do as a disservice to them,
to your well-said point, is we build these monuments to them.
We carve them out of granite.
We worship at their feet like they're these lowercase G gods.
And we forget.
That anyone we've mentioned, Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson, Emil Yerhart, Abraham Lincoln, had moments.
moments.
Anyone you look up to had moments where they were scared, where they were terrified, and they didn't know if they could go forward, and they do.
Even Jesus said, My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?
Even Jesus.
I mean, that's the thing.
I always say, if you're looking for perfection in people, you will never find it.
The only thing that's perfect is God.
That's it.
Everything else, take a number, right?
And I say, every hero we've done, every single one, and we've done, you know, Walt Disney and Jim Henson.
We've done Muhammad Ali and, you know, you name it in between, Jane Goodall, Billie Jane King, sports heroes, athletes, and, you know, scientists.
And the one thing is they're all flawed, every single one.
And what I want, and what I love, though, is we don't shy from it.
I just had a woman, we've gotten a lot of reviews on these books.
There was a woman who just said, what I love about these books, it's the only kids' book series.
for young kids that actually cares about the kids who are reading it.
And we don't hide it.
We show you all the elections that Lincoln lost.
We show you the election George Washington lost.
I show you when Jackie Robinson lost his temper.
Why do I show that?
Because I want to show you that every single one of these people is just like us.
I want your kids to see that and say, these aren't the stories of famous people.
This is what we're all capable of on our best days.
So Mr.
Rogers is your new book.
I am Mr.
Rogers.
And
he's a very different dude.
He's a guy that if you watch and you don't know anything about him, you're like, okay, this guy's weird.
Especially today, you would be like, creeper.
But he was, by all accounts, so genuine and so honest and driven by God just to show people
by love.
That's what he stands for.
Love.
And we think again of Mr.
Rogers as perfect.
We say he's perfect in every way.
What we show at the beginning of the book is that Mr.
Rogers, when he's a little boy, is not perfect.
He gets bullied and boys chase him, chase him home from school and he loses his temper, mails away for that, you know, those things that are...
He sounded like a gosh darn it.
Yeah, well, I think it may have been worse than that.
I mean, it might have been a, you know, gold darn it.
I don't even know.
So he'd take it to the next level.
But the thing is, is he loses his temper, mails away in the back of a comic book for one of those, you know, kick sand in my face and get muscles if you mail away for this, you know, thing, mails away for it, does all the pull-ups, and he realizes right there that there's nothing.
All those things are useless.
There's nothing there.
It's his mother who he watches and gives him the best lessons.
His mom, and I know you'll appreciate this story, finds out about kids in Mr.
Rogers' school when he's a little boy.
And the kids in the school, the nurse says, there's a kid who can't afford sneakers.
So the mom sends sneakers.
They have money back then.
Then she finds another kid who can't afford clothes.
She sends in clothes.
Never takes credit.
Then she finds a kid who doesn't have furniture in their house, sends in furniture.
Never, ever takes credit for any of the donations.
Does he know that it's Mr.
Rogers?
What does he see?
He sees how to be a good neighbor.
It's his mother, right?
And when he starts getting scared of what he sees in the news, because it's scaring him, his mother gives him, to me, arguably the greatest advice he'll ever get, which is look for the helpers.
You can always find a helper.
And whenever there's a disaster in America, that quote floats around the internet.
And everyone says, look, look at Mr.
Rogers, look for the helpers.
It's not Mr.
Rogers.
It's his mom.
And I love the fact that he gets that when he's a little boy, that he learns that as a little boy.
And, you know,
that is so amazing now when he says, hello, neighbor.
It's the best.
It's his mom.
And he says, you know, he's with his grandfather.
His grandfather's the one who says, I just like being with you, just the way you are.
You know, people mistake him and say, oh, we're saying everyone's special.
He's not saying everyone's special.
He just meets you where you are.
And everyone you meet, and the funny part is we had Fred Rogers Productions help us with this.
We always have the expert help us with this.
And everyone's like, Brad, he's the only one that's the real deal.
This is the guy who's the real deal.
And I love the fact that when you see him, even when he's a young kid, his grandmother tells him,
you know, he's sick a lot.
So he has asthma.
He's got scarlet fever.
He's got all these diseases.
So his parents put him in bed and he stays home a lot.
And what does he do?
He basically uses his own puppets and toys to make his own stories, to entertain himself.
They give him a puppet theater that they build in the attic.
He starts doing puppet shows and he unlocks his imagination.
How did he get this job?
So this is the crazy part.
This is the best part of the story, actually.
So again, we think of Mr.
Raj as this fully formed human being.
He's on this show called The Children's Corner.
It's a children's show that he likes.
He loves television.
He knows that television is going to be something new.
But what he says is, I don't want to see people throwing pies in faces.
I want to see, actually, like we can help kids here.
There are kids out there who need help.
And he learns from his parents that love is the way to unlock it, right?
And he's obviously, you know, very strong man of faith.
And on the show,
on one of the first shows, there's a film reelist showing.
And the film reel snaps.
And just a moment of like sheer, whatever, it went wrong.
And they're like, Fred, you got to do something.
It's live TV.
And he's like, what do you mean I got to do something?
He's like, you got to do something.
So he puts the puppet on his hand that he has, this tiger puppet, and he shoves it through the...
the backdrop through the screen and suddenly starts talking through it.
And that's the first time Daniel Daniel Tiger talks on the air.
It's not a plan.
It's not some great mission.
It's totally him scrambling to make something work.
I want my daughter to have that lesson.
I want my sons to have a lesson.
When it goes wrong, try to, you know, you're going to have to sometimes scramble and make it right.
And what he does,
the woman on the show who's the host, starts talking to him and says one day, you know, I'm really sad today.
How can you help me?
And he talks through the puppet.
And when he talks through that puppet, all these kids are like listening.
They're suddenly listening.
And that's the moment Mr.
Rogers is born.
It's not a plan.
He never has it.
He's just being himself through this puppet doing the same thing he did when he was a little boy, sick in bed, unlocking his world of imagination.
And that's a lesson we all need.
So
I want to end here where you began.
You talked about humility.
And I think that is gratitude and humility are the two things we lack.
Completely lack.
We restore those two things and the whole world changes, gratitude and humility.
This was the quote of the day.
I talked about this story earlier and just barely pointed this out, but I find this astounding.
They were talking about AI and how AI can grow out of control in a big meeting in Davos yesterday.
And the Microsoft CEO gave a speech.
She said, there is nothing that cannot be controlled by humankind.
Oof,
we're in trouble.
We're in trouble.
I mean, listen, I go back to the historians.
Neil Armstrong never used the word I, used to use the word we.
We did this.
We accomplished it.
And he wasn't just talking about his fellow astronauts.
He's talking about the scientists, the women who did the math,
the tailors who sewed his spacesuit together.
We did this.
And again, remember when we talk like that?
Now everyone's aye, aye, aye, look at me.
The internet is all about look at me.
We write in all caps and triple exclamation points.
I am done with that nonsense.
I tell my kids, that is not how you ever should be writing.
You know, I'll give you one exclamation point.
You don't need three.
As a friend said to me, you get three exclamation points in life, right?
And Neil Armstrong is who I give my kids.
That book is all about humility.
And each of, you know, everyone says these are history books.
They've never been history books.
They're value books.
On the back of each one is a value that I think is important to America.
On the back of I am Amelia Earhart, it says, I know no bounds.
On the back of I am Abraham Lincoln, it says, I will speak my mind and speak for others.
On the back of I am Mr.
Rogers, it says, I accept you just the way you are.
And if we don't, you know, our kids are going to pick heroes whether we like it or not.
You might as well have some say in it.
And to me, this is my way of fighting back.
The name of the book is I Am Mr.
Rogers, Brad Beltzer.
These are great series for your kids.
One last thing.
You know who you reminded me of on
exclamation points?
Who's that?
Somebody who
was
vicious on exclamation points.
They have no place
in society.
And she wrote one letter in her life and used one exclamation point in her life, in her life.
And her letter went up for auction.
It talked about the things that were going on, Lady Diana's death, Charles, everything else.
It sold.
It's one of the most expensive letters she ever wrote because it's the only time she ever used an exclamation point.
The Queen?
Queen Elizabeth.
Of course.
Spectacular.
Thank you so much, Brad.
Appreciate it.
Love it.
God bless it.
Thanks.

So.
The World Economic Forum this week is meeting.
I want to do a whole special on Friday on Blaze TV on what everything happened this week on World Economic Forum.
But their number one priority is to censor people.
It's to stop misinformation and disinformation.
They say that's more important than global warming, financial situations, inflation, and even war.
And that's because of the elections.
There are big countries that are having elections, and it will decide their fate, and people are moving away from this this globalism that they are pushing.
So there is a story, surprise, surprise, that is coming out with the World Economic Forum fingerprints all over it from The Independent, which is a UK outlet.
It's been now shared by NBC News, Media Post, and some group called Grist.
It mentions Jordan Peterson.
who lost his bid to not go through an re-education camp yesterday in Canada's Supreme Court.
They're silencing him.
They've already
silenced one of the big voices against ESG and the Great Reset, and that's Russell Bran.
Ask yourself if you followed him, when's the last time you saw him in your feed?
He still exists, you know.
He's just nowhere to be found.
And then they mention me and Blaze TV,
and they are targeting us in particular.
And I know this
because they also targeted the Heartland Institute, which my co-author runs the Heartland Institute, their socialism section.
And he's the author with me of The Great Reset and all of my books about the World Economic Forum.
The reason why this is going to happen quickly, and please go and listen to today's podcast and share it with your friends.
It's not not going to catch fire because everything Glenn Beck is being suppressed.
Facebook down 95%.
So you're not going to get stuff from me.
But they are using this to isolate and put us into a digital ghetto.
And it's going to happen quickly because the other topic at the World Economic Forum is Donald Trump.
They know that Donald Trump will pull us out of all of these things preached by by the World Economic Forum like he did last time.
And they can't allow that to happen.
And so
the pressure is on
to quell what they would call disinformation, what you would most likely call the truth or logical thinking, logical questions, honest questions.
They have to have those all shut down and buttoned up by the summer.
Probably the most important monologue of my career to this day happened on hour one of today's podcast.
Please, this is the reason now why I built the Blaze.
To survive this, we need to stay in touch.

Tonight, a Wednesday night special, they'll call it disinformation.
It's the truth on our economy that you need to know.
