For years, I have heard the same story from listener after listener after listener. They know they need help with their hearing, but they are intimidated by the process of getting that help. And it's also really expensive. The tiny budget, the little gadget apps that you have to fight with, it's too much. Well, somebody finally said, why don't we just make this simple and affordable? It's called the Adam X, and it's from Audion. It is the first over-the-counter hearing aid with a touchscreen built right into the case.

You don't need a prescription. There's no confusion. You just open it. You put it in and you tap the screen and you're hearing clearly. Even the settings and the volume just feel obvious. It's like something you might have used your whole life. Audion built this around real people, not technical gimmicks designed with input from audiologists, meaning really good, smart people to help you live your everyday life.

Family dinner, church, work, watching TV, whatever. I want you to get this now at Audion. All you have to do is just go to Audien. Thank you.com. Audionhearing.com. Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and

review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement. And you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference.

And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have a lot to talk about today. There is new news on who is actually funding all of this, what these organizations. are already doing. We're going to break some news today and expose a very complex network and one of the leaders in this network. We're going to do that here in just a second. Also, we're going to go over Donald Trump's art of the deal, the deal that he made yesterday.

A lot of people feel like this is not so good. I know that's the way I felt about it until I started looking into it and then I started thinking about Donald Trump and the art of the deal and I'm not sure and I actually think it might be really good, might be genius, but I want to make sure that I put a caveat on that. I wrote down some things that we have to watch for. It is a genius move if certain things happen in the future. It's a retreat if those things don't happen and that's going to lead to some very, very bad things, I think. But this could again be another one of those moments where, you know, the guy has made so many genius moves where you're like, what is he doing? And then he wins. And you're like, wow, what? That I don't want to count him out. I want to

give him the benefit of the doubt until we see what is actually going on. And so I'm going to give that to you here in just a second. Also, I spent a lot of time yesterday just thinking about who are we fighting and how do you fight this? I'm talking about Minnesota. And I came up with a plan, but I don't sure anybody's going to like it. Oh, man. I am the only talk show host that I think has ever done a talk show host where it's like, yeah, you know the audience probably won't like that.

Yeah, but I think it's right. So what the hell? Why don't we just blow ourselves up? So I'm going to share something that I think is absolutely, feels absolutely right, but it's going to take you a second to breathe and go, let me see if I understand that. But we'll talk about that coming up in about an hour.

Also, Data Republican is going to be joining us for hour number three on today's podcast. We begin in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about the burner launcher. With everything we've seen recently, including some stark sobering moments of violence in places like Minneapolis, a lot of people are forced to think through the possibilities that they'd rather not contemplate. In a true life or death emergency, there are moments where people have no choice but to use legal force to protect themselves or their families. That, unfortunately, is a really heavy reality, and it's something that you shouldn't take lightly, and I know you don't. But not every dangerous situation calls for a lethal response.

Sometimes you need distance. Sometimes you need time. Sometimes you need a way to stop a threat without making a decision you just cannot undo. That's where the Burn a launcher comes in. It's a less lethal CO2 projectile launching self-defense tool that is designed to help disrupt a threat and create the opportunity to get to safety. The Burna Compact Launcher takes that step further. It's a smaller, easier to carry, easier to conceal, and it makes it practical for everyday life. It launches tear gas, pepper spray, and, you know,

a dramatic punch. Go to Burnah.com slash Glenn. B-Y-R-N-A dot-com slash Glenn. Learn more. You can try before you buy it, a sportsman's warehouse located near you. You'll find that location at Burna, B-Y-R-N-A, burner.com slash glen.

Azra Nomani has exposed a network yesterday of far-left organizations, and it is comprehensive. The free beacon also came out yesterday and exposed the sunrower movement that is funded by the usual suspect Soros Tides Ford. O'Keefe said yesterday, he was in Minneapolis and he said there is a territory that is

absolutely absence of police. They knew his license plate. They said, you're driving this. And if you're not out of the city within one hour, you're dead. He said, somebody frisked him and the Marine that he was with as if they were the police. I mean, Minneapolis is out of control. It is important for people to understand what is going on because this is not a protest. This is an insurgency.

On today's podcast and at glenbeck.com, I want to take that torch and light our way here and expose another one of the organizing engines behind this unrest. And once you see it clearly, you'll understand this is not about immigration, compassion, or civil rights. this is an insurgency, not a protest. It's about power. It's about ideology. It is about a movement that doesn't believe that America even has a right to exist. We have been working alongside with the nonprofit Morrow Institute, which this is what they do for a living. And they have uncovered the operational and ideological footprint of a group quietly embedded in the anti-ice organizing network in Minnesota. I just have to tell you that I am, I I am so happy to see what people have done with their spare time. When I started exposing these things back in the early 2000s, nobody was on it. Very few people. I shouldn't say nobody.

Very few people were on it. And it was very hard to track these things down. Now with the internet and chat GPT and everything else, you can move pretty quickly. You still are required to have some investment. of footing and knowledge. But it is a lot easier than it was. And like I just said, you have O'Keefe, you have the free beacon, you have Osro Nomani,

you have us at glenbeck.com. And you're seeing these networks in real time. So the one that the Morrow Institute tipped us off on today, and you'll find this article at glenbeck.com in Minnesota is the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Committee. It's known as Mirac, Minnesota, Immigrant Rights Action Committee, I think it is. And you're not going to hear that name on cable news and you're not going to see it in press releases from City Hall, but you will find it inside the signal chats that were used to organize resistance to federal law enforcement and not casually. Mirac is listed as a recommended training resource.

And that's all in the documents that are circulating among all the activists, documents in instructing participants to, and I quote, train up community members in rapid response and intervention, end quote. And here's their speciality. Immigrant response training, I'm sorry, immigration raid response trainings. Now that sounds benign, I guess, until you read what Mirac actually believes, okay? And this was important during BLM. People were used by BLM and it didn't catch on for a while until it just started, people started going to jail. But, you know, we told you at the very beginning of BLM, you have to know what they stand for.

They are for the destruction of America and the destruction of the nuclear family. And when you go back and you look at their founding documents and their own words and what they are currently for, it should open your mind and open your eyes and say, wait a minute, I don't want to partner with these guys. Okay. What they expose about themselves in their posts, you know, in their own words, in their alliances, is this. And this is really important. This leads to something from next hour that I really am anxious to talk to you about and get your opinion on. But they're not about seeking reform.

they're not about reconciliation. They're not about fixing the problem. They are seeking abolition. And abolition of borders, any deportation, no enforcement in the United States, and the abolition of the United States as it is presently constituted. So no America. They openly call the American immigration system and the criminal justice system, fundamentally unjust, racist, and white supremacist.

They declare solidarity with popular movements abroad. They explicitly expose U.S. action anywhere in the world. So this is not civil disobedience. This has nothing to do with what's happening in Minneapolis. None of it. This is a revolutionary ideology. And behind all the soft language is something far harder. The Morrow Institute, the researchers there, identify Mirac, is part of what they call, and we've talked about this here recently a lot, the Turtle Island infatada.

Turtle Island is what the ancient natives used to call America. Okay, this whole continent was Turtle Island. And so if you're part of Turtle Island, they're trying to make this, they're trying to take, the entire continent of North America and make it into Palestine, an occupied territory. And this Turtle Movement, the Turtle Island movement, denies the idea of America's right to exist in any way, the same way the radical groups deny Israel's right to exist. And one Mirac Post made it really, really explicit. They said, from Turtle Island to Palestine,

is a crime. Turtle Island, again, what they call North America, they believe it has to be liberated. And if that language sounds familiar, it should because we know exactly how liberation movements operate when they adopt the language of resistance, intifada, and occupation. October 7th should have ended any ambiguity at all.

I mean, it didn't, but it should have. But it certainly didn't, with Mirak. Their response to the October 7th massacre was not grief. There was no condemnation, not even an acknowledgement of Israeli civilians murdered in their homes. Instead, Mirak declared solidarity with Palestine and endorsed the so-called right of return and repeated the chant on October 7th, from the river to the sea. Then they went further. In April 2024, Mirak co-published a statement praising Iran's missile attack on Israel, calling it justified under international law and lauding Iran's support for the Palestinian existence. So you have

this so far? The people in Minnesota, they say America has no right to exist, Israel has no right to exist, and one of their partners in this utopian society are, you know, anybody who is trying to destroy America, and that includes Iran that I remind you, yesterday, the last two days, now it's up to 35,000 people they have executed. Okay. So this organization that is part of the problem, part of the crime, I believe, the insurrection in Minnesota that is whipping people into a frenzy, they are for the Iranian government.

Now, they're partners in the statement, including groups previously identified by researchers as pro-terrorism, including organizations with documented links to foreign influence and revolutionary communist movements. And it's not a coincidence. This is a coalition. Later, Mirak announced a march for Iran. They condemn the United States for bombing innocent Iranians and Venezuelans. They have promoted pro-Cuba activism.

They have joined coalitions whose own website supported. October 7th attack, frame Russia and China as victims of America? Okay, I mean, it, and this is all before we get to any violence. Because Mirak doesn't just merely tolerate violent rhetoric, it amplifies it. There is a flyer published by Mirac that features the phrase bash the fash, alongside with an image of a bloodied, severed head, and a slogan, long as so associated with, you know, Antifa-style street violence.

So their close allies publicly pledged to defend activists politically and physically, if necessary. They openly endorse the unified Palestinian resistance. They called October 7th morally justified. And they draw a line really clearly. Violence against ICE isn't violence, it's resistance. When a protester is shot,

Mirak rejects any attempt to condemn the unrest. This is what they've just recently wrote. There is violence and there is resistance to violence. They must never be equated. Days earlier, they issued a message to the Minnesota leadership. ICE is waging war on our city. Fight back. If you won't, keep MPD out of our way.

So in other words, they're telling people, if you're not going to get violent, we will. you just keep the Minnesota Police, Minneapolis Police Department out of our way. Another post celebrated the activists that were quote, organized, militant, and ready to fight back. They brag about forming human chains

to stop federal vehicles. They boast about mobilizing hundreds within an hour. They promise more training for the next confrontation. And they provide resources that support all arrestees, regardless of the charge, rejecting any kind of distinction between peaceful protest and criminal destruction.

And the most, I think, chilling is this comparison. This was published on the Mirak-linked social media. ICE is equated with the Israeli military. Now, this is why it's chilling. If you understand what Mirak partners want done to the Israeli military, you understand the implication. This is not a protest. This is pre-justification.

This is rhetorical framework that transforms law enforcement into enemy occupiers and then calls killing them resistance. So here's the truth that the media is not going to say. And quite honestly, some people, you know, on our side are not going to say. But it is really important. Please, please listen to our number two of today's show, please. Because I'm going to take you places that I don't think anybody else will take you. and I mean anybody else will take you. And I think it's really important.

But here's what you need to hear right now. America can debate immigration policy. We can debate that all the way on. We've been debating it since almost the beginning of our country. We can argue about enforcement priorities. America can reform laws. We can condemn the police or understand the police. We can condemn protesters.

and we can understand protesters. But this is an organized ideological assault and one that rejects the legitimacy of the United States itself, aligns itself with foreign adversaries, excuses terrorism, and normalizes violence as a political tool. This is not part of a civil society. What they're trying to do is seize civil society.

and let me give you the missing piece because this is where people get fooled. Let me do that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Rough Greens. A lot of dog owners think that they've done their job as long as the bowl is full and their, you know, and their dog is eating on the surface. That seems great. The problem is that, you know, you pick a good food and you stick with it and your dog seem happy.

But really, most dog food is highly processed. And during that process, a lot of the nutrients actually, you know, they don't survive, at least in a form where their body can really use it. And over time, that shows up as digestive issues, lower energy, a dog that just isn't vibrant. And you just chalk that up to, well, he's getting old. And that's not true. I mean, it might be getting old, but there is something else going on as well. They need nutrients.

Don't change your dog's food. Rough Greens will close that gap. It's offering a free jumpstart trial bag right now. You just cover shipping. Use the discount code back right now and claim your free jumpstart trial bag at roughgreens. That's rUFFgreens.com promo code back. Just add rough greens and watch the health benefits. Come alive.

Back in 10 seconds. Okay. If you're standing in Minnesota right now and you're angry about the immigration policy, I can understand that. You're worried about overreach. I can understand that. You believe enforcement should be humane, limited, and constitutional. I'm behind that.

You, if that's what you believe, are not the problem. But you are standing next to people who are playing a very different game for a different outcome, and you deserve to know that. Most protesters don't wake up believing in Turtle Island. Most protesters in America don't want a borderless world. Most do not believe America is illegitimate occupation that has to be liberated. But the people who are organizing you do believe those things.

And they're not handing out pamphlets to say we want to overthrow the United States. lead with, we deny America's right to exist, they don't, they don't lead with that stuff. They lead with, they lead with raid response, community defense, rapid intervention. That's the on-ramp. And once you're on that on-ramp, the language slowly changes and you're slowly boiled. Ice isn't law enforcement anymore, it's an occupying force. Enforcement isn't policy, it's state violence. Stopping vehicles. Stopping vehicles. is not obstruction, it's resistance. Violence is in violence, it's liberation.

That's not accidental. That is ideological conditioning. Once you step onto that on-ramp where you don't know what their intent is, you're cooked. And here's the critical question that everybody needs to ask themselves right now. How many people in that crowd actually believe what Mirak believes? I don't know. And that is the danger. because Mirak does not require everybody to agree.

All it requires is cover. Every single peaceful protester becomes camouflage for them. Every well-meaning neighbor becomes legitimacy. Every chant about compassion shields an ideology that openly praises Iran, excuses October 7th, and aligns itself with groups that justify terrorism as self-defense. And when an organization says North America is occupied territory, when it calls liberation from Minnesota to Palestine, when it celebrates a diversity of tactics, it leads not to anything other than our destruction. That's not activism. More in just a second.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's American Giant. Most clothing today is built for speed and cost and not for long-term use. It's made overseas. It's made quickly. and it's made to be replaced not to last. Well, American Giant is different. They were founded to do the opposite.

Their clothes were made right here in the United States of America, supporting American workers, American factories, and the kind of manufacturing base this country used to be known for. And that commitment to America shows up in the quality, in the fabric. The fabric, it's substantial without being stiff. The stitching is built to hold up. The fit is designed for real people living real lives, not just for a photo shoot or a season trend.

This is the kind of clothing that you can wear. You can wear it hard. You can wash it often and you can keep it for years and it doesn't fall apart after a few months. And it doesn't lose its shape after a handful of wears. When you buy American from American Giant, you're not just getting better clothes. You're supporting a company that believes in quality manufacturing

But as we break, Jason, our chief researcher, he goes in and he talks to the insiders.

It's a really cool community as well. And kind of sweeps things up. I was just listening to him and he was talking about what Trump did yesterday with Minnesota and how he felt a little angry yesterday. And quite honestly, I agree because what I see here happening in Minnesota is an insurrection. Clearly, it's an insurrection. I mean, and we've got the paperwork. We have the goods on it. And I want those people arrested.

I want them tried. And if they're found guilty, I want them in jail. but I think Trump does too. He's not stupid. He's not stupid. When I first saw this story yesterday, what he was doing? I thought, is he waving the white flag? What is he doing? What is he doing? Is this all about the election and getting reelected and he's got to make nicey nice? And I don't think it is. It is if you are reacting emotionally, and I want to say this, I could be wrong on this, so I don't mean to belittle you or have you think that I'm smarter than you because I can guarantee you. I'm not in almost all, but Al Gore's case. I'm not smarter than you. I just look at things

differently and I could be wrong, but I'll give you a lens to see this through and then a chart on how we're going to know whether it is a red, it is a white flag or not. Okay. And I don't think it is a white flag. If you're looking at this through the lens of traditional political or cable news, you're going to look at this and say this is a retreat. However, if you look at it as a counterinsurgency, if you look at it through that lens of counterinsurgency, federalism, and an optics war lens, then it's different.

Okay? Let me walk you through this. Because what we're seeing Trump shift the battlefield, not abandon it. And let me take you through this cleanly and tactically here. First, what would a surrender or a blink actually look like? If Trump was blinking, this is what would happen. He would end the enforcement nationwide.

He would call off ICE operations. He would publicly repudiate Homan or Miller. He would emit wrongdoing or illegality. And he would accept the Gestapo snatching people off the streets narrative. of that happened. Instead, and now think of him in Art of the Deal, he narrowed the enforcement criteria. Political pressure is rerouted. Optics cooled, legal authority, preserved, responsibility transferred back to the states. This is not a surrender. I believe this is a reframing of the fight, and it's really smart. If this is what it is, it's really smart. If this is what it is, it's

really smart. The real, the strategic objective here that I think most people are going to miss is, you know, when I, when I just said, you know, he would, he narrowed the enforcement criteria. Let me ask you, what was his criteria? Because I had a problem with it when he said it months ago. What was the enforcement criteria? Was it to go scoop up every, illegal on the streets? Was it? Was it to send everybody who came here to send them home? Is that what ICE was doing?

Because it wasn't. Because I remember when he said it, I'm like, what? We should be sending everybody that was here home. And he said, no, no, no. The goal here is to get the really bad criminals off the streets. That's what he wanted. So the goal was never ICE agents, everywhere all the time.

The goal was this. Force Blue State leadership to choose publicly and unmistakably between protecting violent criminals or cooperating with federal law enforcement. That's what he's been saying the whole thing. How are you people defending this? These are rapists in your community.

So what Trump has just done is he has separated into three groups. One, the violent criminal, illegals, easily moral. Everybody's for that. Okay. Two, the local state officials who shield them. There's another group. And three, the protest movements trying to provoke a legitimacy crisis. So he's now broken those three up. Minnesota was sliding towards a designed confrontation. Street chaos, viral clips, allegations of federal overreach, the Senate damage, were threatening a shutdown, the media was building an authoritarian.

We were headed towards everything that there's no way out, okay? And that environment only benefits one side, and it isn't the Trump side. It's not our side. The only thing he could have done was escalate. And do you think that's what they didn't want? That's exactly what they wanted. So he changed the terrain. He also, and this is telling to me,

he also went and relieved the U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino. So this was part of it that really bothered me, okay, because it's the hardest part emotionally. Here's a guy who was very, very clear on things, but it is the clearest tactically. Bovino was a guy who was saying, I mean, he even said something. It was absolutely wrong this weekend.

You don't have a right to carry a gun at a, at a protest. No, you don't have a right to interfere with police. Once you engage with police and you're carrying a gun, then that's a different story. But he said a lot of things. He was defending some things that I thought were a little indefensible. But he was a lightning rod. He was a walking headline. He was a pretext for the Senate Democrats. I mean, he was a symbol. Whether it was fair or not, doesn't matter. Perception is reality. He was rogue federal officer. officer escalating online while operating in a blue city. That's poison if you're in an optics war. And every war must worry about optics. If you're going to win, you have to worry about optics.

So what does what does Trump do? He rotates that guy out. Well, now the Senate shutdown talks. That weakens that. How are you going to shut down? He's giving, right? The media narratives loses the villain. The Department of Homeland Security regains message discipline and the fight moves from personality back to policy. This is classic Trump. What does Trump

say in Art of the Deal? We've seen him do it over and over and over again. Never die on someone else's hill. If it isn't the hill you chose, don't die on a hill they're choosing. Only die on the hill you choose.

So when, he talks to Walls and Fry, I don't think this is capitulation. I think these were traps. Let me read the three-point plan again carefully, okay. What he didn't ask for. He didn't ask for sanctuary repeal. He didn't ask for universal cooperation. And he didn't ask for mass raids.

He asked for one narrow, morally defensible thing, okay, turn over the illegal immigrants already in prison and in jail for rape and murder and everything else. That's it, which is what he said he wanted in the first place, okay? I think this whole push, again, has been over to the window. He wanted the ones who were on the streets raping. That's who they were arresting. Now he's just said, give me the ones you already have in prison. Okay. This does two things. It isolates the extremists. because if Walson Fry refused that, well now, excuse me, I said you do it. I'm not asking for everybody, you know, all the Somalis that live on the street.

I'm asking for the rapist and the traffickers and the violent offenders, the ones that you have already arrested. Why are you defending them now? They have to go on record, no ambiguity. That takes all of the political weight off of them and shifts it back to Trump. It shifts accountability. Now Trump can actually truthfully say, look, I offered a focused, humane, criminal only solution, and they're still standing in the way. That's devastating in court.

That's devastating in Congress. That is devastating in public opinion. When. Next, agents are leaving many. What does that mean? When I read that, I'm like, what? This line is doing enormous psychological work for the left. Or is it? Because what's likely happening is metro surges are scaling down. The overt presence is reduced. The intelligence warrants and targeting is continuing. but cooperation is demanded through custody and transfers instead of street ops.

Get those guys first. In other words, less spectacle, same authority, cleaner lanes. You know, I've been saying for the last few days. Trump wants this to be boring. He wants this to be boring. This should not be a daily spectacle. This should be boring. We're going and getting the good guys.

I'm sorry, we're going to get the bad guys and the good guys are winning. But that's not what's happening now. Trump does not need ice agents clashing with protesters on camera to deport criminals. Have you been watching this at all and thought, what is the rest of the world seeing this through their eyes? Through the BBC and everybody else. You know how this is making America look. We look like Iran because of the way it's being spun around the rest of the world. And I'm not saying that's true.

But optics matter. He needs paper trails, custody chains, and, legal clarity. Now, he pulls one guy out and he says, we're sending in somebody else that can work with you. And who does he send? This is the real tell. Tom Holman? If this was a retreat or a white flag, Holman would not be the guy who's being sent in. Okay? Instead, Holman is sent in. He's the face. He's the negotiator. He's the enforcer after all the political dust settles. Homan is not a cupcake. I don't know if you've noticed that. Okay. That should tell you every that to me is a signal to you who are like, I think he just, I think he just surrendered. No, he sent in Tom Holman.

That's like sending into Iran, you know what? We're going to negotiate. We're sending Raisin Kane. Homan's role is just really simple. You don't have to like us. Just hand over the criminals. I'm just here to get the criminals you already have. Just hand him over. And if Minnesota complies, Trump wins quietly. If Minnesota refuses, Trump wins loudly. That's not blinking. That's checkmate positioning. And here's a deeper play. They're denying the left a legitimacy crisis. The left wants and needs images of federal agents versus crowds of civilians. They need claims of unconstitutional mass arrest. They're not happening. You know it's not happening. But does the world know that? Does America need that? The left needs a moral panic, a shutdown showdown,

international condemnation narratives. Trump, once again, boring enforcement, narrow targets, governors on the hook, courts on his side, public exhaustion with the activists, not with him, and the law enforcement side. So he did what they hate most, I think. He de-escalated without conceding any authority. So what is this moment actually? I feared, and I said this yesterday before this was announced, I fear, you know, you have to go after them. Otherwise, if you leave, you're Reagan and Beirut. And that's really bad.

This is not Reagan and Beirut. This is Grant pausing before the next push, letting the other side step forward and expose itself. Trump did not blink. He lowered the noise. He tightened the rules. He moved the burden. He preserved legitimacy. He forced his opponents to make their own choices,

loudly and publicly on center stage. And now Minnesota's leaders are standing alone saying, will not help remove criminals? I've been looking for things that are going to break spells. Because honestly, I think it's a spell. I do. You know, you can look at it in the old, you know, the old way or you can look at it just as words and media are so powerful. It's like casting a spell.

But how do you break the spell of reasonable people who don't hate America? They don't want, you know, they don't look at America as Turtle Island. They don't want to destroy everything.

We are going to talk about what is happening in Minneapolis,

and I spent a long time thinking about what is the possible motivation on what's going on, other than the destruction of America. And I couldn't come up with one, because everything that the left is doing now in Minnesota does not lead to what Martin Luther King used to say, reconciliation because at the end you can't have a winner and a loser you can't have you know can't have a winner and a loser with us because if we if we don't change people's hearts then you have half the country that still believes what they do and they want to kill you and we need reconciliation so that's what martin luther king was doing so how do you wake people from this spell that

they're under. And it's a bad spell. And I'll talk about that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about rush tax. I don't endorse tax resolution companies lightly. You know, this is an industry with a lot of really bad actors and a lot of people that, you know, end up worse off than when they started before they called this tax resolution company. And I've done my homework. And when a company asked me, you know, to represent them, especially somebody who says I can represent you with serious IRS problems, they got to look, they got to go through a lot of hoops. with me and my staff first. We ask hard questions. We look at track records. We make sure they're the real deal. And that is exactly what happened with Rush Tax. Rush Tax, they get in the trenches

with people who are dealing with levies, garnishments, back taxes, serious pressure from the IRS, and they build a real plan forward. And when you mention my name, Rush is going to provide a free IRS transcript investigation. This is a service that firms usually charge about 500 bucks, often without confirming they can help you at all. Rush offers this upfront and for free, and they will only take your case if they know they can help you, period. They don't wait or hope the problem just disappears, and you shouldn't do that either.

So half the country is under a spell, and I think it's why the scriptures say we don't fight flesh and bone. We fight principalities. We fight evil because only evil. This is not human that is making somebody say this.

This is a health care worker in Virginia. Her name is Melinda. She works at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. And she has posted a series of TikToks. And I want you to listen to what. what she is saying. Listen to this. Cut for.

I thought of something good. I think it's something weird. Sabotage tactic or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers grab some syringes with needles on the end. Have them full of saline or sucks in a colon. You know, whatever, whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.

Are the single ladies where these ice guys are going have a chance to do something, you know, not without risk, but could help the cause for sure. Get on Tinder, get on Tinge, find these guys. They're around. They're an ice agent. Bring some X-lax and put it in their drinks. Get them sick. Nobody's going to die.

Just enough to incapacity them get them off the street for the next day. Okay. So she's saying spike their food, get them sick. She was talking about filling a syringe with a paralytic just to scare them. That's sick. That's, I mean, is anybody for that? Listen to this. This is James O'Keefe yesterday.

He wrote yesterday, I've never experienced anything quite like today in my life. I've interacted with a cartel. I've witnessed crazy things. But what strikes me in Minnesota is how. organize these agitators in Minneapolis are. They have spotters everywhere in the city and the suburbs on street corners, even 30 minutes away from downtown. They have people at hotels that work with them and signal to them, which made it making it difficult for us to lose our tail once my

cover was blown. I usually lose a tail, not this time. I switched locations three times. I recorded and posted this while leaving this area while they were still surveilling, uh, surveying, uh, surveying, uh, We all agreed we must take these threats public as soon as possible, even if we had people still in the field with hidden cams. Earlier around noon, Cam Higby released his report on signal threads. I was inside of what appeared to be a fully autonomous zone. Remember that in Seattle? The Chad autonomous zone. No police presence.

The police had been told to leave. I identified myself as press and they said they would kill press and they would not let me leave. My skin was fully covered because it was so cold, but because they couldn't verify who I was, they screamed and started throwing ice bottles at us. One hit the Marine who was with me. They patted him down like they were the authorities attempting to confiscate any weapons. They were set to destroy our vehicle before we even got to it. I have a full video report shortly.

this is an insurrection. And so I've been thinking for the last few days. So how do you stop this? Because it's going to force the president to declare an insurrection. And that's going to give them what they want. They're very well organized. And you go to civil war. And I thought, how does anybody buy into this stuff?

How are these people, because they've been slowly boiled like a frog? okay they they they don't know who they're standing next to and how do you break that spell well there's only one way to break a spell like this and i want to give it to you um i'm going to take a one minute break and then i'm going to come back i'm stations i'm breaking early because i don't want to interrupt this thought and i want to give it to you and uh i would ask that you just give me 10 minutes and hear me out. You may not like it when I first start talking about it, but I think it is the only answer. 60 seconds. A lot of people look at their mortgage and just assume that it's kind of what it is. You know, the rate is the rate, the payment is the payment, and you just keep sending

that check every month, hoping things get easier someday. But a mortgage isn't supposed to be a life sentence. It's a financial tool, and like any tool, it should work for you and not the other way around. That's where American financing comes in. They focus on helping homeowners restructuring. their loans in a way that can lower monthly payments. Pay off the high interest debt or simply just make the numbers fit in your real life a little better. They don't start with a sales script. They start with your situation, your goals and your budget and what would actually take the pressure off your household every single month. They walk you through all those options so you can make a decision that makes sense for you. It's easy. Your home should be a place of

stability, not a source of constant financial stress. There are no upfront fees. You can find out if you qualify now, just call American financing 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to Americanfinancing.net. NMLS-2334. NMLS Consumer Access.org. APR for Rates in the 5 starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers. Call 800-906-2440

for details about credit costs and terms. Now 10 seconds. Okay, so your thinking and mine has been, we have got to send in more troops. We have got to take control of this situation. That's what they want. So what if we thought of something completely different? And I want you just to imagine for a second.

Imagine something, what would happen if we imagine something different that wasn't louder, not angrier, not more certain of our own righteousness, but higher. As I look through history, it tells us the greatest moments of change did not come when one side finally crushed the other.

When real change comes is when ordinary people choose a courage that felt almost unreasonable at the time. Two figures in history have proven this. Martin Luther King, he called it unarmed truth and unconditional love. Gandhi called it truth force. Both of them believed in something totally radical that the strongest force in human affairs is not domination. but a disciplined compassion that is so visible, so undeniable when it shows up, that it actually unsettles, even those who are prepared for violence. It's unsettling. It breaks spells. So for just a minute, imagine, not instruct, not demand, but imagine what if in a moment like

this a third presence appeared? You have ice, you have all the people that are angry on that side, and then you have these agitators and insurrections on the other side that are willing to do anything. And then a third presence, not aligned with rage, not aligned with fear, not aligned with vengeance or defiance, just aligned with human dignity. What if there were men and women who would step forward not to confront, not to shout, not to accuse, just to stand? what if there was a group of people that locked arms not in hostility but in resolve? What if there were a group of people that became a living boundary? Not against people, but against chaos. What if there was a group of people that would not carry weapons?

They would not chant insults. They would not demand surrender. They would not respond. They would say nothing at all. They would just simply stand between anger and authority, between accusation and response, bearing their own bodies as witnesses to a simple truth, that no worker, whether you're an ice agent or an ice cream vendor, should ever have to fear for their life in doing their job. That no protester, however passionate, should ever be manipulated into becoming a pawn in someone else's strategy of escalation. that human life is not a prop. Tragedy is not a tactic.

Imagine the cameras. Not capturing fists or fear. Just faces. Faces calm in the storm. Faces resolved, not reactive. Faces that refuse to mirror the violence that they stood against. Imagine the confusion that would cause. And it wouldn't it wouldn't cause outrage.

cause hesitation. People would all of a sudden go, wait, what is happening here? Because Martin Luther King and Gandhi both knew this kind of action does something extraordinary. Okay. It denies, it denies both sides their expectation of conflict. King taught nonviolence is not the absence of tension. It is the creation of a moral tension that is so pure it demands reflection instead of retaliation. When they were sick in the dogs on Martin Luther King's people, when they were beating them, when they were fire hose, the rest of the country looked at that and said, wait, what is happening? See, there were real racists in the 1960s, obviously, and there still are, but there were real

racists. And then there were people like probably like my grandparents who had grown up being told things and it was just the way it was. And they weren't racists, but they were kind of asleep. They were just, you know, that's just the way it was. And then Martin Luther King came along and then they saw people that they related to because, you know, we shouldn't have interracial marriage or whatever they were thinking at the time. And then they saw Martin Luther King come. come along and he breaks all of everything that they've ever thought or ever been told about black people. And then they see that, wait, wait, my side is hosing these people down. My side is sicking dogs on them. They're not my side. And it breaks the spell.

If they were violent, it would have done exactly the same. It just would have divided everybody more. Martin Luther King realized you've got to win the hearts of the other side and break the spell. And so the narrative shifts, not us versus them, not oppressors versus victims, but a different question begins to rise in the mind of the public. Why are these people willing to risk themselves? Why aren't they fighting? Why not fight? Why are they standing there to protect? What do they see?

What do they have that I don't know or have forgotten? Martin Luther King said it over and over again because people argued with them that surrender. It's not weakness. It's not surrender. It's strength. It's strength so composed that it refuses to be dragged down. And Gandhi believed that when truth is embodied, not shouted, embodied, lived, it becomes unavoidable. King believed love, when disciplined and public, will shame injustice without humiliating the unjust.

And perhaps, just perhaps, this is. how nations change. Not when one side breaks the other, but when enough people remember, the goal was never victory. The goal was reconciliation. I don't want victory over my family members that don't talk to me anymore. I want reconciliation. I want to come back together. I want peace, but I want peace with justice. I want a future where our children can inherit it something better than just anger at one another. So I ask you today, what would happen if we remembered that? What if we allowed ourselves to believe again that there still is a higher third road?

And walking that road just might be the most powerful thing we could ever do. Not because it's easy, not because it guarantees success, but it reminds us who we are capable of being. could we in a country of 350 million people find 350 people that would be willing to do that? Who would be mentally and spiritually prepared enough to do that? This terrified me when I thought about this last night. I'm not sure. Can we find? Because I don't think I'm one of them.

I don't think I'm spiritually or mentally prepared to stand and just be called names and stand as a shield for somebody and and love the people who are spitting at you. Can we find 350 million people in, sorry, 350 people out of 350 million that could actually do it and would do it? Let me ask you this. Do you think you could find 50 pastors that would do it? 50. 50.

there are 100,000 pastors plus in this country. Could you find 50 of them that would do this? I'm not sure. Because that's who should do it or should lead it. Because this is a spiritual thing. We're not fighting flesh and bone. We are not fighting these people. Again, let me just go back to the one thing I just said.

I have people in my family that will no longer speak to me. And it has been the biggest heartbreak of my life. And I weathered this storm for 20 years. And in the last five years, it just broke apart, fell apart, and I have people who I dearly love. I don't want to win. I don't need them to win. don't need them to say, you're right. You were right. You won. I don't need that. I don't want

that. I just want them back at the table. I just want them to know, I love them, and that's more important than anything else. And I want them to say, I love you. And that's more important than any politics or anything else. Every single tactic, if you will, that we play out. If it's not led by God, it will fail. We are now at the moment of saving Western civilization. It's not saving our country. It's not saving our Constitution. This is saving Western civilization. The Judeo-Christian principles that built half the world. That's what this is about. And if you want to save Judeo-Christian values, you must demonstrate. Love for those who hate you.

I can't believe I'm saying this. And I'm not the guy for this. But that is the only answer. I can sit here and give you other political answers and everything else, but that is the only answer. This will not be one. We have to reconcile with people who are under this spell of lies. The spell that makes a medical practice,

petitioner say, get a syringe and poison them. Give them a paralytic to scare them. I hope that person no longer works in the medical field is banned for all time, but that's a spell. All right, let me tell you about my Patriot supply. If you've been through any of these winter storms that we've had, you know, lately lost heat, even for a little while, I genuinely hope you had a Vesta heater from my Patriot supply sitting somewhere in your home because the Vesta heater is designed for those exact moments. It's safe. It's an indoor heater. It doesn't rely on electricity. Even when the grid is down, you still have a way to create warmth in the room you need it most. It's not about panic. It's about learning from previous bad experiences now. If you think to yourself, yeah, I should have had one of

those. Ah, well, it's not going to happen again. It's going to happen again. It's going to happen again. Get it. Please. If you don't have a Vesta heater, think about it before the next storm arrives. Not while you're shivering through it and going, geez, that's two times. I should have had that. Best part is right now you can get the vest in a bunch more preparedness gear free if you just order the winter survival kit from My Patriot Supply. Go to MyPatriot Supply.com slash Glenn.

I go to my executive producer who has been my executive producer now for 25 plus years.

Stu Bregear. Welcome, Stu. How are you? Doing well, Glenn. I brave the quarter inch of snow through, you know, a lot of people are saying it's heroic. I didn't, you know, I wouldn't call it that, but I'm here at the studio, you know, in the legendary fashion to make sure I can make it here for the last four days of the program. Yeah. At least in my... Everybody else has been at the studio for days, but you keep calling yourself a hero. So, Stu, this is Stu's last week. Yeah. And he's going to announce what he's going to be doing. He's, he's leaving the program to go do his own thing, which normally I would recommend against. But this, honestly, when I heard the idea of like, this is him. This is so him. I think it will be, you know, it's just what he has to do. And, you know, I didn't know that Nick Fuentes was looking for a producer for a show, but he's, or. Or so. something. I don't know exactly. He's going to announce that later this week on what he is actually going to do. Thank you. Thank you for that. You know what? I'm really going to miss you. Can I say that?

I'm going to miss you so much on a day-to-day basis. You know, one of the things that was the very first thing that I think I taught you on my show, this is when we were doing mornings and you were a producer on my morning show, is you wreck me. If I can't take wrecking me, I shouldn't be able to wreck anybody else. And people, long-term listeners understand new people are like, what is happening here? We are good friends. We love each other to death. And there's nobody, you me and Pat, there's nobody that can wreck us harder than ourselves. And I'm going to miss it. It's true. I will say there was the beginning of all of that. You did say that very early on. And you just don't know whether to believe the person when they say, hey, no, just wreck me as hard as you can. I'll be

fine with it. And you actually are, which is stunning, frankly, because we've hit you very hard over the years. I will destroy you now. There have been times like whatever that this bad superhero show is on Amazon Prime with the laser eyes. There are times, I think, you're just going to bust out the laser eyes and make us all explode. But you haven't. So, far. So I haven't yet. I haven't yet. You know, glad I was thinking to your last, your last segment. And it was fascinating. I am in, I will say, in a bit of a reminiscent mode right now. As this has been 28 years I've been working with you. And everything I now see through the lens of this weird journey we've been on. But like your last break was essentially your entire life.

your entire journey all encapsulated into one segment, which is this battle, right? And I think it's a real battle that people face all the time, which is this battle between you. I know you. I know what you just said is completely true. Like, you really want, there's a great part of you that wants to be able to stand there and just like, hey, like, can't we just figure this out? Isn't there a way that we don't have to be completely insane? And, but you're also a person who recognizes, and I heard this in the first hour as I was bravely driving into the studios, this, this part of you that also recognizes there are groups of people out there that are united and organized and doing everything they can to destroy everything that you love, that this country was built on. Yeah.

And those two parts of you and I think two parts of this real situation are really difficult to square. How do you do that? Well, because it's not, you're not going, you're not going to convince them. If they want to destroy them, you're not going to change their, they belong in jail. What I'm talking about are, again, like I said, the people like maybe our grandparents or great-parent grandparents might have been. That they just grew up believing one thing. And then Martin Luther King came along and they're like, wait, wait, wait. He's actually a good guy.

He's, I'm on the wrong side. And they weren't dug in. They weren't racist. They were just kind of going along with it because that's what they thought. It takes something earth shattering to break that spell. And it takes what Martin Luther King and Gandhi talked about. It takes this bravery. I mean, you know, I was just listening to Jason in the, in the insider feed.

And he said some of the, some of the responses, Stephen wrote in and said, these people would be eaten alive if they did that. if they stood between the protesters and ice and just locked arm. That time is passed. They'd be bashed and beaten. Yeah, they probably would, but that's exactly the point. That's what's so shocking. Why would somebody, Martin Luther King again,

why would somebody walk in and put themselves in that situation where they know they're going to be hosed down by firehorses? They're going to be punched in the face. they're going to, and they will not react. It's almost inhuman. And it's beyond stupidity. It's, it's, it is only an act of something that most people go, I don't understand what is happening here.

Why are those people doing it? Because those people believe in something bigger than themselves, bigger than their own pain, bigger than their own loss. You know, they believe that, they believe that you are worth reconciling with. even though you might hate them, you're worth enduring that. So we can get to a place to where we can actually talk to one another again. Because we don't think, Martin Luther King knew that America wasn't a racist country. It had racist policies and there were racist that lived here.

But he knew the foundation was not racist. It was a system of government and the declaration. He challenged you. live up to the declaration, where the approach now of the left is the exact opposite of Martin Luther King. So they've become the aggressors on society. And that's what we have to get people to wake up to. The people you think are standing with you that, you know, just want an end to, you know, these racist policies or whatever, they don't want the same thing that you want.

They will punch and kill and take a syringe and fill it with a paralytic and jam it into your neck because it might delay you. That's not human. That's not American. That's not anything anybody would ever recognize. But you can't sit there and just talk to people and say, come on, you don't believe in that. Because they will dismiss that. They will just immediately dismiss. But when they see their side punching somebody in the face who refuses to punch back, fairness and justice, just roars inside of each of us.

That's interesting, Glenn, because I think certainly when you talk about the types of people you talked about in the first hour, right? These groups that are angrily going out there and trying to attack ICE agents. And there's a lot of those, they are they are not working towards. you know, the Martin Luther King solution. No, they're not. That's what gave me, that's what brought me here, those, do is that everything they're doing does not lead to anything other than balkanization. That's not what Americans want.

And I agree with you on that. However, let me just push back a little bit on this part, part of it. The actions, let's say, of Alex Pretty, for example, I don't know what his involvement was on the levels you're talking about in hour one. Maybe he was deep inside of all of these groups and was angrily trying to overthrow the government. We might find that out. I mean, we don't know yet. But what we do know, I think, what the American, I don't see that in the video.

What I see in the video, again, this is, I'm trying to think about how the American people are seeing this. They're not watching every single angle. They're only seeing what the mainstream media is presenting to them or what TikTok is presenting to them. What they see in that moment is exactly what you're talking about with Martin Luther King. They see a guy who's who's helping a, you know, kind of helping a woman across the road, then jumps in between an altercation after an agent pushes a woman to the ground and he jumps in between them. Again, when you're- Martin Luther King would have, Martin Luther King would have condemned him for that. If he was arrested, he would have let him sit in jail for that.

Look, I don't do that. I, you know, there's, I'm trying to take my own personal opinion out of this and just put into what I think the American people would see, certainly a good chunk of them. And I think what they would argue here is they are doing what you're suggesting. They, he's there. Why is he there? We keep saying like, hey, why are you going out to these things? You're going to get in the way and there's a chance that something like this happens.

And their responses, and I think this is actually sort of your point, which is they are trying to take that mantle. they are trying to take the Martin Luther King mantle. They are trying, not all of them, but many of them are trying to look at that. They look at Alex Prattie as a person who put principle above his own safety. I'm not saying I agree with all of that, but like I do think that's how it's being, you know, pitch to the American people. Yes. And I think the average person when they saw Prattie and they saw what he did, because I, that was my reaction.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. What is happening? He is just trying to stand between the police, but he is getting involved, but he's standing between the police, and then there's a shoving match, and then they pull him down to the ground, and then they shoot him. Okay, he's carrying a gun, which, you know, he has a very right to do, but I would suggest if anybody wanted to do it the right way, Martin Luther King did not carry a gun. And you don't get involved in pushing back. They tell you to go down on the ground, you go down on the ground. they tell you to do something, you do it. You do it.

You take, if they beat you with a club, you take the beating with the club. That's Martin Luther King. And that's what breaks the spell, not the whistles. They're showing up with whistles. They're antagonizing. And they are also obnoxious with it. And so if you're watching that, you on the other side, you might be able to see and go, well, you know, he didn't do, but you'll immediately go, yeah, but he's one.

I mean, he was with the whistle. What is he? He was probably with them anyway. deeply. My guess is he wasn't deeply with them. I could be wrong, but my guess is the way he behaved, he wasn't deeply with the radicals. He was more of a, hey, I just think this is wrong. Okay. And then he had no discipline at all. There's nobody leading that discipline. In fact, the other side is pushing for chaos, not discipline. So he had no rules and, you know, anything. And he gets him killed because that's what happens when you engage in stuff like that.

But I think average person saw that. And that's what the press wants you to see. That's what the press wants you to believe. But a disciplined action like that, protecting people who are doing their job, that's it. And I'm not judging either side. I'm just saying this is not the answer. I think that would break a spell. It'd be really hard. Honestly, I thought about it last night. I don't think you could get, I mean, remember, Martin Luther King had thousands of people that joined him in several cities. I don't know if you could get it today.

And you certainly won't get it unless you have pastors leading it. But, you know, are the pastors even brave enough to do that? A movement like that would require a leader with incredible bravery. And I'm not going to sit here and just say that I'm the guy for the job. you know, after my drive today. Well, you're, after your drive, yeah. You know, you have demonstrated your heroic. I just can't believe a lot of people are saying it.

That's, you know, I was surprised by people bringing that up to me and saying what a hero I was and I should lead a movement in a nation. What, that's just not what I, what I'm looking to do here, Glenn. There's a man of the people. I can't tell you how much I'm going to miss this. I really can't tell you how much I'm going to miss this. By the way, Stu is starting to start. lying liars ink. We'll be explaining that coming up in just a second.

Eragant liars ink. First, let me tell you about Patriot mobile. Every month you pay your cell phone bill is, you know, it's just another automatic charge. Like utilities, streaming services, all of it. They're just part of the game you play every month and you just don't even think about it. You pay what, you know, you pay it and you move on. A lot of mobile companies turn around and use that money to support causes and policies that you probably don't agree with and you never know it by looking at your phone.

Patriot Mobile was built as an alternative. Same nationwide coverage, same reliable service, but a very different set of values behind the company. They're Christian conservative wireless provider that puts their support behind first responders and veterans and parental rights and religious freedom. Issues that matter to a lot of people who feel like their own dollars have been working against them for years. You don't have to sacrifice quality to make a switch. You can keep your phone, keep your number, and keep dependable service while knowing your money is supporting things you actually believe. even. So go to Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot.

real hunger, but that urgent need something right now feeling that shows up after an hour or two after you eat. And it makes really hard to focus. When your metabolism is running on quick spikes and drops. You're not really in control. Your next snack is the one that's in control. Health code was created to change that dynamic. Instead of meals built around fast-burning carbs or that, you know, kind of leave you chasing the next boost. It's designed to help your

body rely more on steady fuel. When blood sugar stays stable and insulin swings aren't running the show, cravings calm down and it gets easier to not constantly think about food. This research comes from Dr. Ben Bickman, he's a metabolic scientist who focuses on how the body processes fuel and how metabolic health can help shape everything from energy to appetite. The goal isn't to eat less per se. It's to eat in a way that helps your system balance itself instead of being balancing constant, you know, from extreme to extreme to extreme. Health code is a nutritionally complete meal shake that's built around that idea, emphasizes protein and healthy fats, and keeps carbs very low, voids added sugar, and support.

You know, I remember trying to expose these networks, you know, 25 years ago, and it was almost impossible. And nobody was doing it. And now because of the internet and because of the internet and because, there are so many, and mainly young people, wide awake, we can actually expose things. I mean, look at what it's being exposed on this network up in Minnesota. We expose something. It's at glenbeck.com.

Fox News did an expose. Who else? Free Beacon did an expose just yesterday. And we have Data Republican who's also going to do an expose for us here in a second. And everybody has got like a different angle or a different group. You know, we all have the same, but we also have others because it is so well laid out, so well planned. And there's no way, there's nowhere to hide anymore. There's just there's too many people on it. And if we have the DOJ willing to go after these people who are breaking the law, who are being,

influenced by foreign nations, then we can actually make some progress. But that is yet to be seen. I know the Trump administration says they are going after them. I'd like to see that start to happen, Pam Bondi. But, you know, it takes time to build cases, I guess. But the case is really being built. Data Republican joins us here in just a minute.

And also, we're just four days away from the fundamental transformation of this program, the cutting loose of Stu. And Stu's going to join us in next hour as well, one of his favorite memories from the show, which, oh, man, I don't know how I could pick, you know, one of the favorite things that I have done that Stu has witnessed. But I'm going to ask him to pick. I'm going to ask him to pick. Yeah, we talked about doing that segment. I couldn't come up with anything. So if you have, I don't know if you maybe we could get AI to create one. Like, that was the favorite memory?

I don't know. It's only been 28 years. The Republican joins us next. You know, a lot of back discomfort comes from one big movement. And it comes from repetition, sitting too long, standing too long, moving the same way every day. And over time, that tension just settles in and starts to feel normal, even though it shouldn't. What chirp does is go straight to the source of that tension. Their wheel-style back rollers are designed to talk.

Target the muscles that run along your spine, the ones that really get tight and overworked and become stiff from daily life, you lie back, you roll slowly, and you let those muscles finally start to release. It's so satisfying. The design is smart and intentional. There's a groove down the center, so you're never putting pressure on your own spine itself, just the muscle on either side. And with the multiple wheel sizes, you can control how deep the stretch goes, whether you want something gentle or more targeted. Simple tool, but it addresses the problems a lot of people have been living with for a lot of years. If that's you, please go to

gochurp.com slash Beck. That's geochurp.com slash Beck. Check out my picks for back pain relief. Gochurp.com. I'm a big fan of people with courage, usually much more courage than I have. People who have paid a very high price just to do what they believe is the right thing.

There's a woman that I know. She just goes by the name Data Republican. nobody nobody's supposed to know her real name she is she is mute and she is deaf and we're having her

on the show here in a minute with her interpreter so the voice you will hear will be her interpreter but this woman she first I think became known because she predicted or made a prediction with data that went really viral

right before the election. She said Nevada was going to Trump and it was 10 days early just based on the data that she saw. And she built a website called data republican.com and it was to look into federal award searches. And that went viral as well. And she is just, she's one of these people who just is a mole. She just gets, something gets in between her teeth and she just bothers her and she just digs and digs and digs and digs and digs. She has done so much good and paid a high price personally, and I'm a big fan of hers. Data Republican joins us to talk about what is happening in Minnesota in 60 seconds. First, real estate agents I trust. People make a strange assumption about real estate. They think

because they're smart, capable adults. So just figure out when's the time to buy or sell a home. But this isn't something that most people do every day. Market shift, timing matters, price matters, negotiation matters and one bad decision can cost you thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. And that's why I tell people about real estate agents I trust. This is a network of agents that my team has personally vetted people with a proven track record, strong experience in their local market and a commitment to actually serving their clients, not just closing a deal. They understand that for most families, this is one of the biggest financial decisions they'll ever make and they take the time to get the pricing right, the marketing strategy, you know, and get your home sold fast for the

most amount of money and then get you into the right house. Your decision, we're just going to give you the names of some people in your area that we think are the very best. You interview them. It's free service to you. I don't charge you anything for these names. I just want to make sure that you have a great experience and it makes all the difference. The name says it all.

It's real estate agents. I trust.com. That's real estate. agents I trust.com. Data Republican, welcome to the program. Thank you so much, Glenn. I'm so happy to be here and talk to you again. How have you been?

I've been great. I'm glad you're probably maybe a little warmer than you were in Davos last week. Tell me quickly about that. Your big takeaway from that. Oh, yes. Yeah. You know, what really surprised me was

we assume that they would have big pointy teeth and fangs and we thought it would be full of lizard people, but it's just these people who live in an absolute bubble that's completely separate from the world. And they make all these policies and the policies that they make that affect the rest of us just don't affect them. It's so far removed that they just live in this bubble

in this world they think they're changing. You do think that there are those who know exactly what they're doing. For instance, let's go to Minnesota. There are people that absolutely know what they're doing and are hiding it because they have a different, I mean, I'm talking about one of the things you're just revealed is the connection of tending the soil. They know exactly what they're doing. They're not in a bubble, right? Oh, yes, absolutely. That's exactly right. You know, you have to understand the whole group there. I mean, I don't really like this term, but they're called globalists. And they're the ones who want to control everything. And then we have the real communist, right? The actual real communist workers with other countries and they're doing deals with other governments. And yes, they know exactly what they're doing. For example, Antifa.

has relationships with all of these organizations and they make plans together. So a research file that directs people with money to a website, stand with Minnesota, then directs donors to a campaign run by tending the soil on chuffed. What are they raising money for specifically? Well, the goal is, quote, unquote, to support protesters, front line protesters, right, to support the front lines of that. But quote unquote, right?

So what concerns me more about that is that, you know, the platform in Canada has been run by a union person, a man called Johnny Suppoetic. I'm sorry, pronouncing his name. I'm not exactly sure. You know, I'm deaf. But he was actually the first person to donate. Because I don't know how to say it either. Hang on just a second. It's S-O-P-P-O-T-I-U-K.

I don't know how to pronounce it either, but a Canadian. Anyway, go ahead. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Plus, I'm deaf. I wouldn't know how to pronounce it anyway. But what that tells me is that that man, Donnie, that's a point-tick or whatever his name was, he was the first person who donated,

which means that he's controlling the finance for these protesters there. He was the first person to donate to that organization. And this Canadian organization, and because he's Canadian, it's proof that outside nations have been influencing these quote-unquote organizations that are supporting protesters. So what is chuffed? The far left platform that encourages finances for, like yesterday, I saw that they had, they were scrapping all of the roles and all of the. the, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry. So I'm scrapping. I was trapping their databases. Sorry, I just wanted to say I was scrapping their databases yesterday.

And what I found was they're supporting a lot of things like, so there's obviously they're making money there because they're being supported by a lot of, they don't have any processes. That's the problem. They don't have any processes there. Oh, they don't have any processes there. Oh, they don't have any. I'm so sorry. I'm really missing this. That's okay. So the video is bad. I'm sorry. Our video is stalling. That's okay. Why don't, why don't we skip to the next?

Let don't we skip to the question. They don't have any. Okay, go ahead. So when all this money is coming in, sorry, the video was slow, Glenn, forgive me. So what's happening is when all this money is coming into these organizations, there's no processing fees. So there's no way to really track any of this. So when this money is coming through and going to these activist organizations, there's no fees. there's no way to follow it. So let me go back to the signal data here for a second, the signal chats.

They're using a website called sign up genius. And it looks like we have some high-level Democrats in Minnesota have been present as for some of these chats. Can you tell me anything about that? Yes, yes, that. So the chats, I have proof that the people are in these chats. they're going through the system in such way that you see car license plates information in real time. They're pulling people's license plate information, and that is completely illegal. And that's happening.

And there's some, like you said, high-level people in these signal chats that are connected with the Minnesota government. So they're pulling in license plate information from the state? Yes, and it's completely against the terms of service. The contract, the contract terms of service is completely against. that. So it's completely illegal that they're giving personal information. So they're putting pressure on an air table. They're putting pressure on signal and air table. So you said you're getting much less sanitized spreadsheet. And you're getting that to the powers that be is as cash Patel or anybody. Are they opening investigation into the signal chats? Do you have anything?

People are getting frustrated because they don't think that the government is moving. Are you seeing movement from your perspective on the government? Well, obviously, you know, I can't really talk about who the powers that be are here in this situation, Glenn. But they are doing something. And I am seeing some traction because they are very serious. And, you know, this is something that has to be handled delicately as well. And so I have a feeling that I'm getting the feeling that it's trying to get all the organizations at the same time, right? It would be kind of a waste of time for Cash Patel and the FBI to really just go against this one organization because the more important thing to understand here, Glenn, is that it's an entire network.

So it would be easier to get it on a whole network scale as opposed to just going after one individual organization. Any sense at this moment how much of that network is inside the government and how much, inside the United States and how much might be outside of the United States? I'm not going to like, Glenn. It's huge. And almost every, almost every institution, almost every institution is captured by it. It's, it's infiltrated almost everything that you can possibly think of. And the other important thing to understand is that all of these organizations that have been set up for some,

purpose in the past, that purpose has changed and been infiltrated by these type of systems. Do you see a way out? Yes, absolutely. And in fact, I wrote it in my upcoming book. So to explain it longer, but to explain it longer in the book, but it's not what you think. And it's already happening. In fact, I'm going to present this solution in about two weeks. In fact, I have a presentation.

Can we eavesdrop on that or can we get you to come back in a couple of weeks after you've made that presentation? Yes. Oh, of course. Absolutely. I'm actually going to be doing the presentation itself at the old state saloon. And it'll be broadcasted on X. But afterwards, I would love to come back and have a longer, deeper discussion with you, Glenn. We always get the best information out on Glenn Bet. Yeah, well, thank you. And I just, I adore you. And we pray for you. And may God keep you safe. And I just, I can't tell you, you have done so much for the nation. And it's just a, there are a few people like you that are brave, willing to endure whatever comes your way and just won't stop.

And I, I just so admire you. So thank you so much. Thank you so much, Glenn. Yeah, I really appreciate that. And I would love to really dive into this at you later. Great. We'll talk again. Thank you so much.

God bless you. That was a little disturbing, wasn't it? And because of the translation, it's a little, it's hard because you're like, you're standing at the doctor's office and he's like, well, I have some bad news. Okay, what, what, what, what? It looks like you have, what, what, what, what, what. It's true. It's true.

It is, it is amazing, honestly. It's an exercise. exercise in patients. Yes, it is. She's a remarkable woman. And it's legitimately amazing. You're able to communicate with someone like that in that way. I can, I'm sure if you're listening on radio, especially if you didn't hear the beginning of that. And you're talking, you're basically having a conversation with someone who's deaf and mute, you said. So really difficult to have that conversation through a translator in real time. I know it's a little difficult. That information is really important. And what I really liked is that we're doing on a on radio, but we were communicating through video so she could see my mouth as well. That's a lot. That's a very complicated interview, very complicated interview. Anxious to have her back in a couple of weeks. All right.

We'll move on. Let me talk to you a little bit about rapid radios. Most of us take communication for granted until we, you know, we really need it when we're traveling with family or coordinating an event or managing a job site or just trying to keep a group connected, you know. cell phones aren't always the simple solution when they're supposed to be. So I've been telling you about rapid radios. These are long range radios that work right out of the box, no license, no programming,

no monthly fees. You turn them on and you're connected. The range is incredible. Clarity is really what surprises people, I think, whether you're across town or across the state, you can stay in touch with people who matter without relying on a cell service or complicated apps. And if you run a business, this gets even more practical.

Rapid Radio's offer is up to a 60% discount for businesses, which makes it cost effective to keep teams connected on job sites and, you know, at events, large, across large properties. Sometimes the best technology is the kind that just works when you need it to, and that's a rapid radio. RapidRadios.com. Secure your exclusive savings. Elevate your business communication now.

You can go in and you can poke around and listen to America's 250th. It's based on a book by David and Tim Barton called America's Story. And it is a 20-part audio series, fully produced.

I mean, and it is produced in a way that you hear the bullets whizzing by. It is really the audio on this. Nick Daly did it. It has worked for me for years. And honestly, he is, I mean, I think he's turned down a job at industrial light and magic. I mean, he is really, really good. Terrible decision by him, but yeah, he's great. Oh, horrible decision.

What a moron. But really good. And you need to hear that. It's, again, the first five episodes are out, America's Story. That is available. Also, find your voice is out. We released that last week. And this is really uplifting.

story about Alex who his whole life he's been a stutterer and he just really kind of gave up started looking for jobs where he didn't have to talk to people he had a hard time keeping a girlfriend or even friends and it was getting worse and worse and worse and he tried everything but nobody ever has an answer on stuttering in this show find your voice with roger love roger is a dear friend of mine and he is the world's best voice talent i mean he's worked with me in russia Limbaugh, but he's also worked with Elton John and Beyonce and Lady Gaga and I mean, everybody in Hollywood that has ever, you know, they try to play Johnny Cash. He teaches them how to sing like Johnny Cash. He's an amazing guy and biggest heart I know. And he can correct speech impediments.

He can correct things like stuttering. And he did it in one session, actually two, one half hour sessions, but in under an hour. And this. guy's life is changing. And it's, it's so amazing to watch. You see him kind of like this closed down guy. And by the end of the episode, he is full of life and speaking without any stuttering. It's, it's an amazing thing. You can find that also at glendbeck.com, part of our torch experience. Glenn, correct me if I'm wrong, when you said Roger Love worked with Rush Limbaugh, that was when Rush was losing his hearing, right? Is that how, was that why they work together? I think that's for Roger to talk about, not me, but I mean, he worked with him through all kinds of, all kinds of stuff.

I thought I remember that. I'm not. Yeah, I'm not sure, and I don't want to speak for Roger on that. But I know that he did a lot of work with Russia and helped him a great deal. As me, I mean, you know, I have these vocal cords. I go into vocal cord paralysis, and he's the only guy that can change him. Doctors are like full bed rest, you know, just don't speak for a month. and just leave it at that.

And it's strange because the sorrows people say the same thing, but don't speak at all. But Roger can take me from that, where complete paralysis of my vocal cords to full voice. I mean, I've had to speak in front of 25,000 people, and I had a half an hour. I was in full vocal paralysis. In 15 minutes, he had me back to full voice

Go there now. Okay. Let me tell you about preborn. New research is revealing that millions of women are living with deep lasting emotional. pain after abortion is something we've all known, but everybody is always denied. Preborn sees that pain close up every single day, clinics all across the country. But they provide hope. And it begins with that moment that changes everything.

When a mom sees a baby on the ultrasound, when she walks in, she might be thinking, I can't carry this baby to term. And then she sees the baby and hears the heartbeat and the world changes for her. Baby's chance at life doubles after mom sees that image. Preborn, they have their network clinics, and they provide those ultrasounds free of charge, along with the compassionate counseling and support for women who feel alone and overwhelmed. This is real care, practical help, emotional support, and a reminder that they're not without options. And if you believe that I do, that every child matters and no woman should walk this road alone,

and mom matters as much as the baby, then you want to get involved. hit pound 250 say the keyword baby 25 bucks pays for an ultra sound go to preborn.com preborn.com slash Beck preborn.com slash Beck pound 250 baby.

and the deal that apparently Donald Trump made yesterday and some people think that that is a weakness they think that he caved or waved the white flag. I do not and I explain that. I'm going to also if I have time this F hour I want to give you the

things to watch for to see if it is a white flag or if it was just another really genius move on the way to winning but we'll see. you know, six weeks will tell us everything we need to know. Stu is joining us. It's, we're only got four more days left.

He's going to announce where he's going. He's starting his own thing soon and he'll be talking to us by the end of the week about that. I'm going to miss you, Stu. You know what I'm going to miss most about you? What's that? No, I was hoping you're as a producer and writer had something you could fill here. No. No.

The thing I'm going to miss most is when you say the meanest and harshest thing you can think of, in the most tender of moments on this program. You know, when it's just, when I'm just so heartfelt and you just find four words that can just tear me apart.

I actually am going to miss that. That legitimately, sincerely means so much to me because it is one of my favorite things about this show that you would put up with it. There have been times where I, even after 20-something years, you'd be in the middle of this really a heartfelt, really powerful, great thing that it wasn't

like I thought it sucked or anything. It was incredible. And then I would have to come in as I believe my role on the program was to, no, anyone ever told me it was my role, but I believed it was to just come in and just, just ruin it right before commercials. That's what I always felt was important. And I tried to bring that to you. It's my favorite. But you know, somebody said, you know, how are you going to replace Stu? And I'm like, you're not going to replace Stu. There's no replacing Stu. There's nobody, and I'm not going to hire somebody to fill in for Stu because that has taken 30 years to master the timing and knowing exactly when to say something thoroughly inappropriate and mean. And I just, I'm going to miss it, Stu.

Oh, well, you know, I think, yeah, every once in a while you might just go to the phones and on the phone is someone saying the most inappropriate thing. It's good old Bob for Milwaukee is just going to be there. Right. He might sound a little bit like me. It just happens to be listening and had the same exact thought I might have had in that particular moment. You know, one of the things that I've always liked, and I did it, and I don't even know if it was ever entertaining for the audience, but it was so entertaining for me is I would say to you, here, I want you to get on the phone. Just follow me.

And you would get on the phone, and I'd say, we have on the phone, Biff Herfner. blur and and you'd go hello Glenn how are you and be good now Biff you milk cattle but you milk steers and then you would have to whatever I said you would just have to make it work and it was I don't know because we never said that's what we were doing nobody ever knew that this was just Glenn torturing stew and it was so far I will say if you If you'd like to know what that was like from my perspective, if you watch the Netflix special of the guy climbing Taipei 101 that was on the other night, taking the outside of a building with a free solo and just going all the way up 101 stories

to the needle at the top, that's what it felt like. Because I had no idea where you were going. I had no idea what I was participating in. And I just had to go. And those were that. I don't know if that was the most entertaining thing for the audience. It was the most torturous for me. It's so most entertaining for you.

You used to look at me right because we'd do it right before we'd crack a mic. I'd look at you. Grab the phone. I need you on the phone real quick. You'd look at me like, oh, dear God, no. Please, I don't know. And I go, it's Glenn Beck program. And we've got Biff on the phone.

He should have seen sometimes his eyes. I would say something to him and he would be like, what the hell am I supposed to do with that? He just looked at me like this poor sad little puppy dog. Like, yeah. I have nowhere to go here. Oftentimes it would devolve into this caller just being very angry at the host. It had nothing to do.

It would just, my real emotions would come out and that would be the entire call. I will say one of the things I will miss, I think, more than anything. One of my favorite things we ever did here, and I don't know that I've ever laughed harder was and we're only a couple weeks away from Valentine's Day, the Valentine's Day extravaganza we would do annually on this program, which was really designed to bring couples together. Oh, I believe we did. I think we did too.

I believe we saved marriages. Maybe destroyed a few as well. Well, probably because they deserve to be destroyed. They probably did destroy that. But we would take it. We would do it the day after Valentine's Day. and people we would solicit for callers, like if you screwed up, if you forgot Valentine's Day, if you forgot to book the restaurant, if you forgot to get a gift, and you're, you are now in that period

where you're in the silent treatment, everything has gone against you. You are in the doghouse, 100%. We will, if you are of the right moral character, bail you out with a one-time get-out-a-jail-free card called the couple of the year competition. Well, it was my effort to help stupid guys one time, but there were a few rules to it. For instance, I mean, if you had missed several things, you know, the cost started going up and you had to pay for. I would say we were going to send you out for this great dinner, but the guy had to pay for it. I wasn't paying for it because it was your mistake.

So you pay for it. And you won this dinner as couple of the year. And so we would announce what it was. And they would be, I'd get them on the phone. And it was a form letter that we would have them fill out. You just, it was, go ahead. You have to add into the point that you would first of all put, you would talk to the guy and you would, you'd hear the whole sob story about how they screwed up and how bad they felt.

And then you would promise to call the wife and say, have that you put them on hold so they could hear the broadcast. and you would fraudulently produce in real time a segment where you'd say, well, you know, and I just hope I just, this is a big surprise. So please, everybody hold on. So they would hear that and it would get what's going on, what's going on? And then you'd play this incredible music, this, was it Barry White? It was something.

It was something of that sort of tone, at least. And it would build up and there's this hype flowing. And then there's this amazing announcer that was. would come on with a big voice and introduce this extravagant contest for a couple of the year. And you would come on and with the most heartfelt sincerity, apologize to the woman because you told the husband not to celebrate Valentine's Day this one time because we had to do it in this incredible competition you had built up over an entire year looking for the most romantic couple in the entire nation. And you finally found it. It was her husband this whole time and he had to hold out on Valentine's Day and withhold all these. Because I was sick.

Yeah, you were sick. You were out. You missed the day. I was out. I couldn't make it. And so they would have this amazing, you know, a presentation. And then you would bring in this form letter that you would require the people, the guy to basically memorize with one really important part. at the end, depending on how bad they were to their spouse, depending on how egregious their violation of this relationship,

you would then determine the length of pause that they had to have on the air between honey. Saying their name. Yep. Yeah. And then space, maybe three seconds, maybe five, maybe seven, maybe nine. and then I love you. And if they didn't wait the full time, you promise you would blow the whole thing on them on the air.

You would ruin it on the air if they didn't wait the full seven or nine seconds. And seven or nine seconds in your life does not sound like a lot of time. When you are on radio, sweetheart. Because you're trying to muster this false, He's swelling up. He's about to cry. He's trying to hold it off. You had to time that perfectly.

And not only was that a complete nightmare for the guy trying to attempt it, because if he cut it short, you'd blow it on them. You'd blow the whole thing for them. I would have. The other thing was, we have radio affiliates that have silence sensors, like, if their air goes down. So, like, they have dead air sensors. And we already set them off all the time because of your pauses in the middle of your

crazy monologues. But in this contest, there would be designed seven second of nothing. That doesn't happen on radio. You're not supposed to do that. So the stations would be freaking out. The entire country would be freaking out. And if you're a listener, you're hearing this escapade go on over and over and over and over and over. The same thing.

The same words happen to people over and over 10, 12, 15 times in a show. All across the country. All across the country. and these poor women are like thinking they have this amazing thing happen to them. And it's just, you just heard it 12 other times with other guys. I just wanted them to believe. And I think one of the reasons why we stopped it was,

didn't one of the women like get the award and then decide to tune in? Yeah. And she tunes in and she hears me doing it with somebody else. She's like, what the hell happened here, Harold? Same script. Exactly. So, I mean, I would say percentage-wise, we probably saved more relationships than ruined,

but there were some collateral damages. Hey, you want to make an omelet. You know what I'm saying? You want to make an omel. If there's nothing else, we're always led by the words of Stalin. And I think that's the right heart for that bit. Okay.

By the way, Stu's going to be announcing where he's going later on this week on this program. And if you miss it, you can find him at YouTube.com Stoo does America, which I just noticed, Stu doesn't have, you know,

Stu also got his start on legendary broadcaster, really epic show, Glenn Beck, or nothing about, you know, I'm the executive producer of your show. And I don't see any of that on that. I don't understand the lack of gratitude there, it seems. I mean, when you're trying to hide something, you try not to put it in as many places as possible. It's like, why did you leave that off your resume?

Because I didn't want people to see it. Yeah, we still have three full shows. So, I mean, if that's where we're going to play, that's, okay, I got it. I got it. I just want to know the rules going in because tomorrow is going to be an interesting show. Well, if you want, I will allow you to rewrite the description of the channel to whatever you want for the next three days. Yes, yes. You, until we...

Oh, I would hate to do that, but I'm going to take you up on that. Oh, really? I like to see. Because that way you can glaze yourself in front of America appropriately. Yeah, I might have to have to have a couple of stabs at it. I might not get it right the first time. Oh, really? Yeah.

So I might have to change it once in a while. I mean, just so you know, we wouldn't necessarily, we could always just wait until you felt that you had it right before we posted it. No, no, no, no. I think this is important to get it on right away, but it might need a few updates. I'm saying. Okay. You know me, Stu. I don't like to wait.

I mean, look, I've got three more shows. What could possibly go more wrong? So we'll just, good luck, America. It might be some very interesting descriptions at the Sudas America YouTube page in the very near future. So, Stu, you know, I didn't get your opinion on what you thought of my. analysis of Donald Trump not waving the white flag with Minneapolis or Minnesota, but actually making a very smart reframing move. Yeah.

What did you think? Interesting. We talked briefly about this before the show started. And I was, I kind of made the point of like, you know, this does feel like a little bit like a back down in some ways. And you said, oh, no, you got to listen to what I'm going to be talking about coming up. And you went through and I was on my way in a heroic drive through ice. snow and sleet to get here this morning.

There's a quarter of an inch of snow on the ground. But it's, but it's solid, a solid quarter of an inch, except in some places where it's one eighth. And it was interesting, when you were laying that out, I agreed with what you were saying.

I think, you know, what maybe we had a, a little bit of a separation on us how to, how to, how to, how to,

how to look at it. Because I don't, I definitely don't think Donald Trump's backing down from being an immigration, illegal immigration hardliner, right? Like he is not, he is, this is something he's believed since way before he was running for president. And back in the 80s, he was talking about this stuff. Yeah. But it did to, when I, when I was trying to say a backing down, it wasn't as much as he's backing off of the policy.

But it does feel like he is acknowledging that this is being perceived in a way he does not want it to be perceived. Of course. He is, it's an acknowledgement of that, which is, I think it's a big moment. I think that's foolish, though. He's not a dummy. It's foolish not to recognize this is going in the wrong direction framing wise. And that's why I say, he's just reframing it. He's allowing it to be reframed. Because, you know, in his book, he talks about never die on the hill that somebody else wants you to die on. Die in the hill you chose. And that's not a hill he's choosing to die on. So he had to reframe the whole thing. I think it might.
