The Glenn Beck Program - Chris Hansen Catches Predators with... ICE?! | Guest: Chris Hansen | 2/4/26

Episode Date: February 4, 2026

Glenn looks at the ideological collapse of transgenderism in children, which appears to have been started by one singular lawsuit where a woman was awarded a settlement after receiving gender-affirming care as a minor. Is America finally coming to its senses? Glenn lists off everything that requires an ID to participate in, so why does the left treat voter ID like it’s Jim Crow? Glenn urges Congress to pass the SAVE Act, or else America will forever suffer the consequences. Glenn announces a Torch event taking place at Ellis Island in New York to celebrate and honor the beauty of American immigration. Glenn speaks with investigative journalist Chris Hansen to discuss how he's teamed up with ICE agents to help combat child predators. Glenn dives further into his upcoming event at Ellis Island and what attendees can expect. Glenn brings back the author of ‘The Next Big Crash,’ Justin Haskins, to further break down the state of the economy and what a significant economic crash will look like. Glenn and Justin also discuss a man called William Dentzer and why you should be aware of who he is. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Your phone bill is one of the few things you pay every single month without really thinking about it. It runs in the background, even though it touches almost every part of your daily life.

Tickets are going on sale for our first big torch event, and believe me, this one is epic. This is kind of in the style of the shows and events that we used to do, restoring honor, restoring love, restoring courage, the one that happened in the mall in Washington, D.C.

slash Torch. Listen to this program in a completely different way. All right. We got a lot to talk about. Looks like the cowards in the medical field are even bigger cowards than I thought they were before. I'll explain, but it looks like this whole trans, you know, gender-affirming care stuff is flying out the window quickly. Why? Not because they had a conversion, but because they're afraid again. Also, the Vegas Biolab. And, uh, Melinda Gates. What did she say yesterday? That's pretty remarkable. And Charlie Kirk, the killer in court yesterday. We'll talk about all of that this hour. First, give me 60 seconds to tell you about rush tax resolution. Tax problems don't usually start big. You know,

it's a year where things were really tight. There was a forum you didn't fully understand or a balance you meant to circle back when life slowed down, you know, or you made a choice as a small business owner. I mean, I have been there where you look at it and you're, like I could either pay my taxes or I could pay the employees and keep the doors open. And you might have chosen wrong and said, I'll keep the doors open and then I'll make it up. And then it didn't happen. And now you're in arrears with the government. The government is a tax collector that you cannot ignore.

They will collect on that. They have guns and jails. That's what makes the government so fun to work with. If you have back taxes, don't mess around with this. I want you to go to tax resolution.com. It's rush tax resolution.com. Rushtaxresolution.com. These people are, I've fully vetted them.

I really, really believe they are the people to help you on something like this. If you're serious and you've got a serious problem, call them 877-554 rush. 877-554 rush. They're not going to take your case or charge you anything unless they know they can help you. Rush tax resolution.com. All righty then. Let's talk about the cathedral of transgender. The transgender ideological cathedral that is coming down brick by brick.

And what is taking it apart? Well, first, let me tell you what has happened. We just found out earlier that a New York jury awarded a transitioner, our name is Fox Varian she accused her psychologist and plastic surgeon of not obtaining all of the consent and giving her the real understanding at 16 years old,

giving her the understanding of what she was facing for the rest of her life and all of the risks that were involved. 10% of those who are kids are now asking to detransition. This is going to cause all kinds of problems for any of these surgeons, any of these people that made life-altering cuts or life-altering prescriptions to these kids. Okay.

So $2 million from a jury in New York, $2 million judgment against these doctors, the plastic surgeon and the psychologist. Now, so what happens after that? Well, yesterday, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, they come out and they say, the, we now recommend against transition surgery for youth. We now recommend against transition surgery for youth. Well, that's a pretty big deal, because weren't these guys part of the AMA that was just leading the band? They were leading the band.

They had a way to make more money leading the band. Yep, it's all good. It's all good. Don't worry about it. This is gender affirming care. Otherwise, they'll kill themselves. Now, all of a sudden, they're saying, uh, we recommend against it. Why?

What changed? I can guarantee not their heart. What changed were the lawyers that are now saying, you know what? You're going to get, you're going to have lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit. Then right after that. the AMA comes out and says the evidence for gender affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient. Let me say that again. The evidence for gender affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient.

The AMA agrees with the American plastic surgeons that surgical intervention should generally be deferred to adulthood. Well, wait a minute. What happened there? Because that's not what you guys were saying. You guys were the band and the band leader. Why suddenly is the AMA coming out and saying this? You know what? We agree with the plastic surgeons.

First of all, let me just show you the levels of cowardice on this. They're coming out now, not because they had a change of heart, but because they were afraid of the mobs at first. Now they're afraid of the court system and jury. So all of this was based on fear. The whole thing has been based on fear. Not medical science. Fear.

But the AMA doesn't even have the courage to be first. They needed somebody else to come out and go, ah, you know what? We don't think that's a good idea. And then they come out and say, you know, we generally agree with the plastic surgeons. Really? Do you now? Huh. Right after that, Children's Minnesota Hospital. The Children's Hospital of Minnesota, Children's Minnesota, comes out and they say they will stop this all yesterday. We're going to stop prescribing puberty blocking drugs or hormones to minors. Why? Due to federal action directed at health systems like Children's Minnesota.

Hmm. So you're only doing it because you're afraid you might go to jail. So I want to make the first point here, nobody's had a change of heart. Okay. Nobody's had a change of heart here. This is something that if we lose the next election, they will all go right back into it. They are afraid that the tides have changed on them and they don't control the court systems everywhere. and there are enough people now that are going,

you know what, this is just wrong. It's insanity and it's wrong. And so now they're coming out and they're towing the line. Cowards. Every single one of them are cowards. First, don't say no because the mob will get us. Now, well, don't say yes because the courts will get us. You know what?

What was it that made them believe in the first place that the courts wouldn't come after them? I think that's an interesting question. What was it that made these cowards take something that they know they did not have... I mean, Europe long ago admitted there's not enough evidence for any of this stuff. But yet the AMA and everybody else,

they all decided, oh yeah, there's plenty of evidence. Even though the whole world said there's not enough, and remember, we're supposed to be more like Europe. we're supposed to be more open-minded like Europe. We went our own way with the AMA. Why? What made the American Medical Association believe that the court system and these kids, as they detransition, as they wake up to the reality of, I've just mutilated my body.

I'm going to be like this forever now. I'm going to have to take medication forever. I can't have children. And it was a phase I was going through. what made you think you would be protected? Because you're not stupid. What was it that gave you courage? And I know because it used to be whiskey that gave me courage.

What was your whiskey, AMA? All right. So that's the latest on that. Now there's something else that is happening that is really disturbing from Las Vegas. several people became sick from an illegal biolab that was being run out of a Las Vegas home, an Airbnb. Wait, so you had an illegal bio lab in an Airbnb in Vegas? What's that all about? By the way, this is not the first time.

As soon as I saw this a couple of days ago, I said, you watch. It's going to be China. It's going to be China. And lo and behold, it's China. In fact, the same guy that was running these biolabs out of, you know, storage units in California. Remember about two years ago they found these bio labs leaking all kinds of crap in these storage units. The CDC and the DOJ came in and shut these things down. And they found that it was China behind him. one of the guys involved in that is the same guy.

He just went to Vegas and opened up an Airbnb and was cooking stuff up. I don't know. In the garage? In the locked guest room of the house? Where was it? It was in the garage, right? I mean, the arrogance. And then people are getting sick from it.

Hmm. I'm telling you, China. China, they're just, if we don't wake up soon, China is just, they're just going to walk in and just take it. They're just going to walk in and take it. This is a Chinese citizen with potential ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Federal charges now for allegedly manufacturing and distributing misbranded medical devices. Oh, okay. Okay, good.

The room smelled like a hospital, but not like a clean hospital, but more of a foul, stale, stagnant air smell. Yeah, you know why? two people are deathly ill. They couldn't get out of bed. Somebody tipped the police off, said the house contained many dead crickets, and many people who had been in or around the house became deathly ill. That's how we found this place. I mean, what is happening?

Well, I hope there's no protesters that are thinking that we're just picking on this poor communist immigrant. that is here. Hopefully everybody will let the police do their work. The feds do their work on this one. More in just a second. First, let me tell you about, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor is Legacy Box.

I'll be giving you all of the details to the general public and they'll go on sale for the general public. You don't want to miss this. This is going to be a crazy history moment. So another story I saw yesterday was Melinda Gates. What was she on NPR, I think? And Melinda Gates, Melinda French Gates said that, well, she said, what she said, what she doesn't say matters just as much as what she did say. Let me put it that way. She doesn't say, you know, Bill is innocent.

she doesn't say this is all a lie she doesn't say i never suspected anything instead she says this listen for me it's personally hard whenever those details come up right because um brings back memories of some very very painful times in my marriage but i have moved on from that i purposely pushed it away and I moved on. So whatever questions remain there of what I can't even begin to know all of it, those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband.

They need to answer to those things, not me. I wonder what your dominant emotion is when you read these news articles with these details. Sad. Just unbelievable sadness. Unbelievable sadness, right? She goes on to talk about

how her children she knows her, you know, how older children were. She remembers how young, when she was young, that age of these abuse victims. That is an amazing, amazing statement. Very, very painful times in my marriage that I just had to push away from. I mean, that's a strange phrase if Bill Gates wasn't involved in if nothing was wrong. You know, whatever questions remain, pause, pause, pause. those questions are for those people and even my ex-husband to answer for and they have to answer for it.

Wow. Not the media, not the public, not conspiracy theorists. Him, he needs to answer for it. She's not defending Bill Gates. This is not the language of somebody drawing a line and, you know, stepping away from fire that she knows is real. She talked about Epstein's victims, remembers being that age, remembers her daughters. and it's a very, very painful memory and time in my... I mean, that's... Wow. Wow.

Then she goes on to say, I'm so happy to be away from all the muck that was there. Muck. Not rumor, not gossip. Muck. Something you had to live in. She never accuses... She, you know, is not trying to convict.

She never claims, you know, knowledge she didn't have, I think because she probably had a very, very strict, you know, document she had to sign in that marriage. But, you know, I think this interview confirms that Jeffrey Epstein was not a harmless detour in that marriage. It confirms there were questions she couldn't answer then and she still can't answer now. And she wants nothing to do with it. She got away from all of that because it was too ugly to look at. wow, wow. This isn't proof, but it is a signal. I don't know how, you know, it was weird. I was talking to Pierce Morgan yesterday, and he said, what's happening in America with Epstein? And he said, you know,

we've had Prince Andrew no longer a prince. I mean, he's been dethroned. And then we had one of the heads of the labor party resign in shame. And I said, what's happening in America? Apparently, there is no shame. I mean, at least English still have some shame revolving around this. Bill Gates, he's not going to lose anything. Is Bill Gates going to lose anything? Do you think Bill Gates is going to do anything?

He's going to keep going. He's still going to be accepted by all of the powerful people. And, you know, I don't know what happened, but you don't know what happened with Prince Andrew. I mean, there's some fire there. You don't know what happened with the guy from the labor union, or from

the labor party. But The English were like, you know what? There's enough there to say, I don't want you around us anymore. Bill Gates, is that ever going to happen to Bill Gates? With all of the things that he has done with the WHO and all of this, is he ever going to feel shame? Ever? We ever going to hold the man responsible at least enough as a society to say,

you know what, Bill? Can't put you in jail, but you're a creep. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor, the Bernal Launcher. Most of us hope we'll never find ourselves. in a situation where we have to protect ourselves and our family. But hope isn't a plan. The world is very unpredictable. And there's a big gap between doing nothing and carrying something that you're not comfortable

with. A lot of people want a way to feel prepared without crossing a line. They're not ready to cross. I mean, one of the first lessons I learned in training with my gun is never pull your gun unless you're prepared to kill someone. That's a pretty heavy line, man. I mean, I want to stop. But am I prepared to kill?

Burn a launcher is a really nice step down from that. It's less lethal self-defense. It fires powerful pepper and kinetic projectiles, tear gas from 60 feet away. It will stop a threat from a distance without using a firearm. It's legal in all 50 states. It does not require a permit, which makes it an option for people who want extra layer of security, but they don't want the responsibility that comes with shooting somebody.

If you don't want FOMO, join Blenbeck.com now. So Donald Trump yesterday afternoon signed the bill to get the government so we didn't shut down yet again. Thune is saying that he's not sure if we have time for a standing filibuster if the Democrats do a standing filibuster. John, all we have is time.

Okay? No, I should say. All you have is time. You guys in the GOP, you're running out of everything else. You're running out of everything else. If you don't pass the Save Act, we may not have a country to save. They're 80% 80% of Americans want the Save Act. What the Save Act is, so you know, is you have to present ID to go vote.

Well, that's just Jim Crow. No, it's not. Are you telling me that black people, brown people, don't have access to ID? Please, if you go pick up a prescription at CVS, you need an ID. You're going to put your kids in school. You need an ID. You're going to drive a car. You need an ID.

You're going to go into a federal building. You need an ID. You're going into any building in places like New York City. You need an ID. You're going to buy booze. You need an ID. You're going to cash a check. You need ID.

You're going to get a job. You need ID. Why is it you need ID for everything except for voting? except for voting. Why is it Jim Crow when it comes to voting, but not everything else? There's only one answer to that. And 80% of Americans across the board, Hispanic, black, white, Democrat, independent, and Republican, the number is in the 70 to 80% range in all categories they believe voter ID is necessary.

So there's only one reason why you wouldn't have this. There's only one reason why you would not pass this. And I can't think of the reason why the GOP wouldn't pass this. John Thune, I'm begging you, please, for the love of Pete, stand up for the, enforce the standing filibuster. What it means is, like the old time, days, you have to stand up and filibuster and you can take 30 days where you're just yapping about it, you know, day and day out. You don't have time. There's too many things to do. What have you

people done? That's an honest question. What is it you have gotten done? Tell me the big mountains that you have moved, because I don't see a single damn mountain that has moved. I've seen you wait until the very last minute to keep the government from shutting down. That's not a mountain. this is a mountain that must be moved. There's nothing more important. And GOP, let me just speak to you selfishly. If you don't pass this, you're destroyed yourself. You'll have no credibility.

You have no credibility already. None. No credibility. It's just a matter of time before somebody's like, you know what, forget the GOP entirely. Let's do this. It's going to happen. It's going to happen.

It happened before with the Whig Party. You were the ones that put the Whig Party out of business. Do you really think that's not going to happen to you? No one has any trust for you. Nobody has any belief in what you say. The days of, well, we can't do anything until we have the House and the Senate and the White House. You got them all. Well, we only have a thin margin.

Pass the Save Act. That solves all of the problems. pass the Save Act. Please. I hate asking you to call your congressman. I hate asking you to call your senator because this has happened over and over and over again. But I want you to call them politely and plead with them. Please, pass the Save Act. This may be our last chance to save the Republic. If you don't verify who's voting, you're going to lose your country. And again, you're going to save the GOP, you'll save the Republic and you will save the GOP because at least you'll have people out here going, well, at least they did that. And that was a hard thing and a big thing. And it's, you already have the

votes. You already have the votes. But Schumer has said over his dead body, now think of that. Something with 80% support across all boundaries, about 80% support over your dead body. wow, you're willing to destroy everything. For what? For something that only 20% of the American people are for? That shows me you have something more important than the voters to gain from this or to lose. You have a rigged system to lose. That's why they're not going for it.

Please, beg John Thune, please. He said yesterday, I'm not sure we have time. for a 30-day filibuster. Yes, you do. The Republic's at stake. Yes, you do. Please, please pass the Save Act. It may be our only chance.

Honestly, if we don't pass it, this corruption is going to continue, and you're not going to be able to trust the polls. And then the other option is what Donald Trump is suggesting, and that is, well, maybe we should federalize the election. No, we shouldn't do that. what we should do is pass the save act and it requires John Thune one guy John Thun to say fine go ahead filibuster filibuster all you want you got 30 days do it but once you're done once you've run out of senators to be able to stop talking because they can only talk twice each

and it's got to go around the clock so soon as you run out of guys that can stand up there and speak once they've all spoken twice we're voting and we're going to pass it because he has the votes to pass it now. And believe me, if they are forced to talk about this for 30 days, it's not going to go their way. Americans will understand exactly who stands between them and the fair vote. I mean, let me see. I was going to talk about this now.

I was going to talk about next hour, but let me just pull this out. Let me show you this. This is how stupid the GOP is. Okay. Let me give you a latest poll. 68% of Democrats, 68% of Democrats want to defund ICE. 58% however of all voters oppose that. So that's Republicans and Independence.

You're not elected with 68% of Democrats. You are elected with anything over 58% and you need independence to do that. 58% of all voters oppose defunding ICE. Okay. 61% of midterm voters support deportation. 61. 67% of Democrats oppose it. That is, that's the grand canyon between those two things.

64% of voters believe illegal immigration is a problem. 61% of Democrats say it's not. Same pattern. 73% of midterm voters say coming to the U.S. without permission means you broke. the law. Seventy-three percent say, yes, illegal immigration means you came here without permission. You did it the wrong way. Seventy-three percent say that means you broke the law. Only 45 percent of Democrats disagree with that. Again, a chasm. They're on the wrong side of the American people.

Forget history. I think they're on the wrong side of history on a myriad of things. But forget about that. Only history can judge that. I can look at the numbers. You can look at the numbers. Politicos can look at the numbers and say, you're on the wrong side with the American people. You throw this chaos, this chaos at the American people and say, they want rapist and killers on the streets and they are willing to burn the cities down to get it. And they want to make sure that those people can also go and vote because there is no voter ID. And they were willing to shut the government down through a filibuster for 30 days, trying to make the case that no voter ID is the right way to go.

Nobody's going to believe that. They lose. They lose. Please pray for John Thune. Please. He's the guy who is going to either make it happen or stand in the way. if you can be polite and nice and really super nice, let's bring them in with honey and kindness. Please call John Thune's office, please call your GOP senators and say pass the Save Act.

Okay. I was going to talk to you about Charlie Kirk and what happened yesterday with Charlie Kirk, because this is insane. insane. The prosecution has a prosecutor in the office that was part of the arrest who had a daughter, I think, that was at the Charlie Kirk event.

And so now the lead prosecutor, he's saying you got to throw all of this out because the lead prosecutor knew that he had somebody on his team that had a daughter there at the event. And that's the only reason why he was asking for the death penalty. That's the only reason why he's going after this so hard. Are you kidding me? Really? And the lead prosecutor, I mean, the county prosecutor, he was very clear. I thought he did a great job at handling this.

But then again, also, they're, you know, going after the camera thing, we got to talk about that. We have so much to talk about. Oh, and who's our guest at the top of the hour, Ricky? Chris Hansen. Chris Hansen, I saw him talking a couple of weeks ago about these ice rays. and who we're picking up. We are picking up child predators. And he's the guy who, you know, kind of wrote the book on child predators. And he's been out on ice raids.

He's going to tell us about what we're actually picking up, what's actually out there, and also something called roadblocks. It's a gaming system your kids are on. And believe me, if you've been with me for a while, one of my children was, hours or days away from being taken, I believe, by a predator because he was on a gaming system. And you learn a lot about gaming systems when you have the FBI in your house.

Luckily, we had the FBI in the house to go get the bad guy because we caught the bad guy before anything happened. And we learned a ton. Do not let your kids on these gaming systems. And he says roadblocks is where all of the predators are right now. He's going to talk about that coming up in just a minute. And we also have that major announcement for our first big event. You know, it's going to be epic. We're going to make that announcement.

Tickets are on sale for insiders only right now. If you're a member of Torch at glenbeck.com, you can grab your tickets. All of the information is up now on Insider. And if you're not an insider, you're not a member of the Torch yet. Please join us at glenbeck.com slash torch. There's lots of things that are coming. This one is really, really exciting.

I'll tell you about that coming up in just a minute. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor. Who's our sponsor here, Sarah? Oh, it's American Giant. Let me tell you about American Giant. American Giant, you can tell a lot about a company by, you know, what they refuse to cut corners on. Most companies that are clothing brands just spend their time chasing trends, finding cheaper factories, you know, figuring out how to make things look good, just long enough to get them out the door and they're not made to last.

And the result is a closet full of stuff that never quite fit right, never quite lasts, you know. American Giant took the opposite approach. They decided to make essential clothing, hoodies, teas, teas, sweets, sweets, sweets, sweets. sweats, pants, shirts, make them exceptionally well and make them all here in the United States. When they started doing this, nobody was doing this. In fact, they were told, it can't be done. Can't be done. When you put on anything from American giant, you will feel the difference. I mean, it was made to be worn hard, worn often, not babyed, and not wear out. It's the kind of clothing that becomes part of your daily life because it's really, really

comfortable, it's reliable, and it's built to hold up. In a throwaway culture, it is nice to wear something that was made with the expectation that you're not going to throw it away soon. And it's my kids wear my American Giant T-shirts, my daughter especially. And I love, I love the fact that she's got my American Giant sweatshirts that she can wear forever and ever and ever, and she'd probably pass them on to her daughter.

You're going to be thinking about that for a couple minutes, huh? Glenn Beck will be right back. Your home's title, it's just really just a document that's sitting in some digital file somewhere. It's proof that you own what you work so hard to build. But that's exactly what makes it such an easy target. Cybercriminals have learned how to find those records online and forward. your signature and transfer ownership right out from under you. And once they do, they can borrow against your home, they can rack up massive debt in your name, and they leave you to fight the

nightmare of legal battles trying to improve. It was not you. Home title theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. It's one of the biggest real estate scams in America. And you might not even know that it's happened until you're getting late notices or foreclosure warnings for loans that you never took out.

And they knew. And you knew. So it's not like I have no idea any gaming system. any of it is about. But it's Roblox, and Chris Hanson is going to be joining us on that and ice and so much more coming up. Also, today is a really important day. In February 4th, 1789, we answered a question, who gets the power?

The war was over. You know, the enemy was gone. The weapons were still warm. We really didn't know what we were going to do. Who comes next? And history usually says the revolutionary. But this time we had a revolutionary that was a hero. And usually when it's a hero and a general, it hardens into a really nasty regime.

But there was one man that everybody trusted because he had the army, he had the loyalty, he had the myth. But he also had something else. He had humility. and after the war, he went home. So months later, it's now February 1789, months later, everybody has to get together and vote, and the electoral college has to vote for the very first time. They cast the votes, no rallies, no speeches, no promises.

237 years ago, today, every single elector chose the same man. In the last 200 years, that has only happened twice. George Washington and the second term of George Washington. Even the landslides of FDR and Reagan and Obama, hundreds of opposing votes. This all happened because one man, they knew who he was and knew that he did not want it for power or glory. He was just trying to do what was right for America. Happy anniversary to the Electoral College. 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 CHRP does is go straight to the source of that tension. Their wheel-style back rollers are designed to 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 it 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 back.

So for 30 years now, almost 30 years, I have asked you at rare moments to stand with me and not casually, you know, not symbolically, but physically present at places where history just comes alive.

I asked you the first time back in, I think, 2008 or 2009 to join me at the National Mall in the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I said something extraordinary is going to happen there, but I didn't even know. over half a million people came. And if you were there, I bet you don't remember the speeches, but you remember the feeling. You remember the sense that something unseen had just undeniably passed through the crowd. It was more extraordinary than I had imagined. The next year, I decided to go to Jerusalem, and I asked you to meet me at the Western Wall on the steps of Solomon's Temple, because I said something extraordinary is going to happen.

no one had been permitted to speak there as I did for nearly 2,000 years. It was amazing and more powerful and humbling, more historic than words could carry. 16,000 people followed me from America to Jerusalem for that and people watched it all over the globe. Then the next year after that, we ended a weekend that became the largest service event in the history of Texas. 70,000 Americans, not protesting, not demanding, just serving, painting houses, cleaning yards, building ramps so the elderly could, you know, leave their homes again. We closed that weekend of service out with a sold-out Cowboys Stadium, the first sold-out speaking event in the history of Cowboys Stadium.

I remember writing the check for Cowboys Stadium before any tickets went up for sale, and I thought, I don't know if anyone's going to come. And then Birmingham, a couple years after that, Birmingham, Alabama, we did Restoring Unity. And it was proclaimed in the Birmingham newspaper, the next morning is the largest civil rights march that had been in Birmingham since Martin Luther King in the 1960s. People came from all around the world to help launch the Nazarene Fund, which its purpose is to rescue, and we went on to rescue, tens of thousands of Christians that were targeted for extermination by ISIS at the time. None of these were planned with certainty, okay?

but I just, I have a feeling on certain things, and I ask you to join me. And I'm asking you again, in the next couple of weeks, I'm going to be announcing two major events. Today, I'm excited to announce the first, and it's happening on May 2nd, another extraordinary night, this time on Ellis Island. Now, for security reasons, I can't tell you everything. I can't list all the guests that may be there. I can't reveal every moment, but I can tell you what the night is going to be about. It's part of Freedom 250, the government's celebration of America. I partnered with Moms for Liberty and the American Journey experience.

They are doing a fundraiser that night, and we're gathering to celebrate something that I think the world is lying about. And that's legal immigration. America is not a nation that hates immigrants. America is immigrants. Men and women who crossed oceans with nothing but hope and a name written in pencil. People who left bloodlines and languages and certainty for the one impossible idea that here in America you could become who you actually were, not the person the rest of the world told you that you had to be. And through the gates of Ellis Island came the hands that built our cities and the minds that transformed our science and the souls that shaped our music and our medicine and our industry and faith and freedom.

But they came here legally. They came here gratefully. They came to willingly call themselves Americans proudly. And under the torch of the mother of exiles on this one night, we're going to remember who we are in extraordinary ways. Where we came from, those who stood before us and those who still wait just beyond the golden door yearning to breathe free. It is going to be a night of history, of dinner, of music, of unforgettable people and unforgettable moments, and then it ends with fireworks right next to Lady Liberty herself. Tickets are extraordinarily limited. There's only 800. They will go on sale right now for the general public at glenbeck.com slash events.

just FYI, every attendee, if you buy a ticket, you will need to undergo a Secret Service background check. Can't tell you why, but you're going to have to do that. But also, if you have the means to join us, this is all to raise money for moms for liberty and the American Journey experience. But I think it's going to be a night that we relight the American flame and stand beneath the torch for one epic night,

and I want you to be there. If you can't be there in person, you're going to see it all through your membership at glenbeck.com slash torch. But while others are lighting fires and spreading lies, while they tell the world that America despises immigrants, join us in lifting the bedrock of our strength, a nation that welcomes immigrants who wish to become part of this extraordinary American story. You are welcome here. Join us. You can get your tickets now at glenbeck.com slash events. You can become a founding member, help us preserve history, teach history, and, yes, create history as well a few times.

We have extraordinary things planned for that night, once in a lifetime. Get your tickets now for the dinner in the Great Hall where our forefathers arrived, the night of May 2nd, Ellis Island. I think this could be one of the most memorable nights I have ever been a part of. and I believe with everything I know about history, that these things matter long after the lights go out. So join me as we light the torch. It's what we were born to do. All right.

Chris Hansen's going to join me in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. And our sponsor is real estate agents. I trust.com. This is easy because this is my company, so I paid for this commercial, so I'm going to make it really short. You're buying and selling a house.

You want a great real estate agent. I don't charge anything. I'll give you the names of somebody that you can interview. And I'm telling you, you'll find the difference in them yourself. Real estate agents I trust.com. That's real estate agents. itrust.com. There, I got my money's worth. Now, let me go to Chris Hansen. Hello, Chris. How are you? Do 10 seconds. Good. I'm sorry. I need 10 seconds station ID and then we'll say hello. Okay. Sorry, Chris had a network thing. Chris, it's great to have you on. Thank you for the years of work that you've done. You bet. You bet. Nice. You appreciate it.

First of all, can we talk about the ice raids that you have been a part of? Yeah, we have embedded with ICE and Homeland Security on a number of different raids, specifically targeting predators, people who have committed crimes against women and children. And what we've seen routinely in our experience is that the HSI and ICE teams are going after bad people who should not be. in this country. They are illegal aliens who have committed crimes and have been convicted of crimes. And Glenn, I'll give you an example. We were along in a raid where they arrested a convicted sex offender, somebody who offended against a child, who was living next door to a daycare center and within a thousand feet of a school. Now, you have people complaining in this particular area

of San Diego about ICE operations near a school. But where are the complaints when you have a convicted sex offender living within a thousand feet of a school? That's the sort of people that ICE and HSI generally are going after. And one of the things I see happening here is that you have some sanctuary cities. And I can give you an example that I experienced firsthand in San Francisco that won't let federal authorities pick up criminals in jails who are here illegally. They can eliminate 75% of this problem by allowing federal agents to get the bad guys who are here illegally from the jail,

and they don't have to do raids. They don't have to have conflict with strident protesters in cities like Minneapolis. So some of this conflict is self-made in these sanctuary cities. so chris why is it that people don't understand i mean i even when you say look they're rapists their child rapists their criminals murderers etc etc broken the law why is it you think people are not processing that these are bad guys right you know look america is a place where immigrants as you just talked about your big event coming up on ellis island is a place where people should be welcome if they come here and follow the rules and don't break the law. And there's a process for this. But because of so many years of open borders, we created a very

volatile and dangerous situation. And you know, you look at the situation in Minneapolis, Glenn, you know, as a FBI agent told me many, many decades ago, there are three sides to every story. Now, these protesters believe in the cause. They are strident. And then you've got in some cases, border patrol agents who are trained to deal with illegal immigrants at the border. They're not necessarily trained to deal with strident domestic disputes. And so you create this volatile mix.

And you can go back and forth about the shootings and whether they were clean or dirty or, you know, investigations will sort that out in the months to come. But I can tell you that if you allow federal agents, to get illegal immigrants who've committed crimes from the jail where they're already locked up, right? The local authorities have arrested these people for committing crimes. Let them do their jobs in a safe environment. And two things would happen. One, you'd have less conflict in the street.

You'd have far fewer mistakes made when these agents have to go to a house and sort out who's there, who's not. You wouldn't have this dramatic video of a five-year-old child. Maybe he should have been swept up. Maybe not. and you would be more sympathetic in those cities to protesters if they had a gripe about what was happening after the bad guys were picked up at the jail. So if you get beyond that, then I would be more sympathetic to the protesters at that point. You know, we saw a situation in San Francisco.

We reported on this for both my streaming crime network, True Blue, and for Fox News, Jesse Waters. You had illegal Honduran immigrants running the fentanyl trade in San Francisco. they would be arrested and turn loose because of sanctuary city. Now, each of these gang leaders groups was making about $400,000 a year in San Francisco illegally, sending money back to Honduras, building mansions. We had crews over there getting these mansions being built. And basically, they do this until they get enough money. They leave and they hand off to the next Honduran illegal phenol dealer. And you go through the tenderloin district in San Francisco, and it's zombie land.

Now, this is improved because there's a new mayor, a new district attorney, and a re-invigorated law enforcement effort to clean up the tenderloid. I know there's San Francisco. I was there a few weeks ago on assignment, and I saw a big improvement because of the crackdown. And I also think because of the Super Bowl coming to the area. But, you know, it's not that hard to figure some of this stuff. out. Some of it's very complex. Some of it's very difficult. Some of it's very emotional. But if you do the basics, Glenn, I think you eliminate a lot of these troubling events we've seen.

Are we seeing the same kind of problems that they're seeing in Great Britain yet with some of the Islamic communities where they're just in Great Britain, at least, they're just these rings and no one was paying any attention to it until the people just their hair was on fire. Are we seeing any of that here in America? I've not personally seen it, Glenn, but I have reported, you know, over many years in the UK about, you know, radical elements who were able to get a foothold at a base in London or in England in general and create terror cells that, you know, we're plotting terrorist events against both the UK and the United States. So, you know, historically, yeah, that's been happening there. And we've seen a little bit of that.

here, but in my experience on the raids that we've been on, I have not seen it. But, you know, these are stone cold predators. And when we do a sting operation, you know, we do the predator investigations on my streaming crime network, true blue. We call them takedown now. And every Thursday, a new episode drops. And every time we do a sting, almost routinely, we find illegal immigrants who show up to exploit a 13, 14, 15, 15, 15, or no child. I saw one just a couple of weeks. ago I saw one. And the guy was just sobbing these crocodile tears. I mean, there are no tears or anything, but he was like, oh, you could tell it was complete performance. I mean, complete performance. They don't want to be, you know, that's part of the personality profile. You know, you look back,

we've been doing predator stings now on and off for 22 years. The very first sting will be 22 years in March of this year. We set up in Long Island, Bethpage Long Island. And I remember at the time wondering if anybody was going to show up. And two and a half days later, we had 17 men, including a New York City firefighter who surfaced in this investigation. And the whole immigration issue was really not on our radar at that point. We didn't even have law enforcement involved in that first day. And I thought to myself, well, we should do it again. And we did. And we did it a third time with law enforcement. And I figured, well, maybe we'll do four or five, but after that, who's going to show up? You know, and here we are, 22 years later.

And, you know, I'm out every month in a different place in the United States conducting these stings. And, you know, we had a sting in Marion County, Florida over the summer. Glenn 41 guys showed up in six days. Oh, my gosh. Can you imagine? You know, I'd love to have you on again, Chris, to talk about this in depth and what it says about our society. I mean, I knew you have had to ponder that. But I also want to talk about your special that you're doing. I, my, we had a situation in my family. My son was playing on, I think it was a PlayStation.

I can't remember which one it was. And a predator called the house in the middle of the night. We found out this is a guy that was working in Anaheim. Let's leave it at that. Who had a record of these kinds of things. things and we found out thank God at two o'clock in the morning we picked up the phone and called the FBI immediately they went out got the guy we saved my son but it I mean it was freaky and it when the FBI sitting in your yeah oh I know and when you're watching we're sitting in the

FBI and they're like don't let your kids ever on these games you have no idea the games were ended in our house but you say wrote you're doing something on Roblox. Well, Roblox has been around for many years. And, you know, more than 100 million children go on this gaming platform every single day. And Roblox is, I guess the best way to describe it is it's a wildly popular gaming platform within a gaming platform. So games exist and creators can put games on there with approval. It's a huge publicly traded multi-company based in San Mateo, California. And our investigation has revealed, and we've been at this since last summer, and the documentary will come out later this month on True Blue. I'll have more on my streaming

crime never. I'll have more in that in the next few days. But we have found routinely predators going on Roblox and grooming, seducing children. It's a currency on Roblox called Robux. and they use this currency to get children to meet them in some cases. We've had children who were picked up in Iowa and taken to Tennessee. We had two sisters just the other day who were found after a guy from Roblox groomed them and pick them up in Florida. Every day there are cases. We had a woman reached out to me on TikTok whose daughter caught the dad grooming a 15-year-old girl in California from Texas. Oh my gosh.

Not to me. I go on to the interview. I confront the dad. And just last week, they arrested him. And this has been going on for 15 years. There's a guy we interviewed in Texas. Go ahead. Chris, I'm sorry to cut you off.

I've just got a hard network break. But please come on when you're closer to this special. So I want to talk to you more about it. Find, Chris, and all that he does. YouTube.com slash Chris Hansen.

of the details for the big torch event on Ellis Island at glenbeck.com slash events so a few minutes ago we announced a major event a part of freedom 250 that's uh the trump administration's um you know celebration of america and our 250th anniversary uh this is an official sanctioned event now um and it's happening on ellis island tickets have gone on sale this morning today a few minutes ago, there are very few tickets available. It's only 800 people can be on the island and in the, in Ellis Island, in the actual great hall where there will be a dinner provided and everything else. But this event is going to be amazing. And I want you to know the tickets are pricey. This is a fundraiser. They're just really, really rare. And it's a fundraiser. But I want you to know,

I'm not making a dime on it and neither is torch. We are not charging. In fact, we're seemingly going to hemorrhage money on this one, but I think it's so incredibly great. It's worth it. I partnered with Moms for Liberty and A.J.E. who are receiving some of the funds from the tickets because I believe in both of those,

you know, strongly American Journey experience and Moms for Liberty is just great. But those tickets are on sale now at glenbeck.com slash events. Get your tickets now. It's May 2nd. you are going to have to be, if you do get tickets, you will most likely get a phone call to be vetted for security purposes. But I'm sure you'll understand that. Just want you to know that in advance. Or if you're an illegal, probably not a good thing to buy a ticket for.

But also, there's several things that I'm going to be announcing along with this. And today, I want to put out the notice so you can alert people that you might know, but there are times. in history when, you know, we don't need another argument, you know. We need a voice, but a voice that is clear enough to carry across the water and strong enough to rise above time. On this night, May 2nd, at one of the most sacred places in American history, Ellis Island, right there at the foot of the Statue of Liberty, we are asking you if you're a musician to step forward. This is a place where hope arrived with an accent and courage was carried in suitcases and the future of this country stepped out onto a dock with nothing but faith and work in its hands.

And so we are searching for three world class singers to join me to sing backed up by a 51 piece orchestra, which I think I'm also paying for. Join you? No, not singing. I'm not singing. I'll be there. I'm not singing. You'll be singing backed by a 51 piece orchestra. And we need three singers. We need first a duet male and female for an original song written by me. I'll play for in just a second called They Came for the Hope.

It is a song that is about arrival and sacrifice and the unbroken promise that pulled people across the ocean. You can be a couple and submit as a couple. You can be an individual. If you do submit as a duo, you may be asked if you're being willing to pair with somebody else if needed. But the second or third voice, the second song, is a solo performance. It's another original. It was inspired by, I watched Celine Dion at the Olympics, and I was so inspired by that song until I read the words. And I'm like, okay, that's French. But this one is about the mother of exiles.

and it's going to be sung in French because that's the language in which her promise was first written. But the words are so incredibly powerful. And we need a singer of real heart, Celine Dionysh, because what's planned to follow that song that night renews the promise and renews the flame of her torch, and it's going to be epic. So beginning next week, we're invited. musicians to submit a video of themselves singing one of these two songs for consideration. The winners are going to be selected by a panel of expert judges by the audience also. And you're

not chosen just to perform. You are going to be selected and work with and train with Roger Love, who is widely regarded as one of the most influential vocal coaches in the world. He is an amazing guy. His client list includes John Mayer. Stephen Tyler, Gwen Safani, Selena Gomez, Beyonce, Elton, John. You name it. He's worked with him. But he's also the man who worked to prepare Bradley Cooper for a Star is born.

Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon for Walk the Line as well as Joaquin a second time with Lady Gaga for Joker. So he's going to work with you to be at your highest level. Nobody gets to work with this guy. Trust me. He's very expensive. This keeps coming back to money, doesn't it? Anyway, I'm going to fly you to New York City after you've worked with him, all the transportation, hotel accommodations, everything is included. You're going to stand on May 2nd, on Ellis Island before a V-VIP audience to sing and have your performance broadcast globally on Torch and other affiliated channels.

This is going to be intense work for whoever gets this. It's not a contest for fame. This is a call to those singers who love this country enough to sing it honestly and who understand that America is not an idea handed down. It's a song to be carried forward. So if you or someone you know is a world-class musician, it doesn't have to, you don't have to have a resume, you just have to be able to pull it off. Somebody that can shake the patina off the Statue of Liberty, share this page with them. It is at glenbeck.com slash events. Submissions open next week.

And we'll take it from there. But you can hear the two songs on that page. You go down to the bottom of that page and it will talk about music. And can we play? Can we play? They came for the hope. Here's the one song at glenbeck.com you will find. This is a demo that I want you.

This is what you will be singing if you're one of the singers. This is one of the songs. Listen. the stars they And through the fog and iron morning She rose from the harbors gray Not with thunder Not with shouting But calm as the break of day

With mild eyes and protecting arms She said when no tiring Ellis Island on May 2nd Obviously we have great world-class singers That can perform this And I'll go to them if that's what we need But the torch and the principle behind Ellis Island is to be who you are. America is about an opportunity to do something you can't do anywhere else.

And I want to give three great singers who are not necessarily professional, who can do it, who know they, can do it and can prove that they can do it and then work hard for it to sing that song and then one other on Ellis Island for this event. America is always about the opportunity that no one else can give. If you are a singer, if you know of one, please make sure you go to glenbeck.com slash events and pass that page onto them all the information is down there. We begin accepting submissions by video next week. More details will come. Also, if you want to be there, I just found out a good portion of these tickets are already sold out. They may even be sold out by the end of the show. I don't know. Maybe everybody who wants to go has already bought a ticket. So who knows.

But they just went on sale about half an hour ago. It is going to be an epic night. You want to be there. You can get your tickets now at glenbeck.com slash events. All right, more in a second. Your cell phone bill is one of those things that just runs in the background of your life. You pay it, you expect good service, you don't think much about it. A lot of people don't realize is that some of the big wireless companies take the money you send them every month and turn it around and support causes in activism that you strongly disagree with. Patriot Mobile was created as a different option. They offer the same reliable nationwide coverage and competitive pricing, but they have a mission that stands for faith and family and freedom. And when you switch,

you keep your phone, you keep your number, you can switch them all up, doesn't matter. You keep the same service that you like and love and the service that you expect, except you're going with a company that supports organizations and values that line up with yours instead of working against you. If you're going to pay for a self-service anyway, do it with a company that's on your side, but putting money towards things you actually believe in. Go to Patriotmobile.com slash Beck.

What the Save Act is, is Congress and the Senate trying to pass a law that says you must have ID, picture ID to be able to vote. That only makes sense to do that. Here's John Thune on this yesterday. Cut 11. It's an enormous difficulty of doing that. In fact, the biggest majority is not been able to things. Right. Well, you know, I guess, and I would just remind people that the coin in the realm and the Senate is floor time.

There's a finite amount of it. And we have a lot of things we have to do. There's a housing bill that's awaiting action. Hopefully a market structure bill, possibly permitting reform, farm bill, highway bill. You can go right down the list. Russia sanctions are a whole bunch of things that could be teed up for action on the floor of the Senate. And so you have to make some judgments. And the conference will have a conversation about that.

I've committed to that that we will talk about that idea and determine whether or not their what the, um, conferences, views are about it and whether, how they want to proceed. As I said, we will vote on the save act, but, um, exercising or triggering a, uh, talking filibuster has ramifications implications that I think everybody needs to be aware of. So we, um, we will have those discussions, but that's, uh, obviously, it ties the, here's what he's saying. Here's what he's saying. I don't think I'm willing to, to trigger that, okay?

Because there's other things we have to do in the next 30 days. there is nothing more important to do than saving, making sure that every vote counts and is legal. There is nothing more important than that. I want you to call your GOP representative because they're going to talk about it in GOP conference, you know, and all of them will get together and talk about what's important. And do we have time for this or do we have to pass that transportation bill? For the love of Pete, you have to. you have time for a standing filibuster, let it run its course, people will not be for the Democrats,

you win twice, and you save the Republic. Call your senator, save act, tell them to do it. One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you feel completely disconnected without ever announcing itself. You're still in the room, you're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up, and sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit. What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial. It's the process, doctor appointments, multiple visits, adjustment, a price tag that'll make you wonder if it's even

worse starting. So people wait, even when they know they shouldn't have to. Audion was built to remove any barrier like that. Their atom X is over the counter.

Jekyll Island is the Federal Reserve. And that was the powerful people of the banking world and the political world scheming together on an island, taking a private train together to get there, and coming up with something called the Federal Reserve. It was brilliantly designed, but it was a takeover of the monetary system of the United States. And I believe one of the biggest problems that America faces is our central bank, the Federal Reserve. They control everything. Well, back in the 70s when Nixon said, hey, we should get off the gold standard, and he just violated everything, you know, and just got us off of Bretton Woods and changed

the rules overnight, really without talking to you about it, it was just announced. That was also planned in kind of a Jekyll Island, too. but there was something else that happened at the same time. And that is they changed things so you don't actually own any of the stocks you think you own. In case of financial Armageddon, you don't own any of the stocks. No, no, no, I've got my 401k. No, you don't actually own it because of what happened in the 1970s. We told you about that.

I'm going to have Justin Haskins who is here going to recap this for us quickly. because then I want to get into how did this happen? Who did this? What was the motivation? Your mind will be blown on this story. And that's all coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Rough Greens.

If you've had a dog for any length of time, you know how much they give you without asking for anything back. And as they get a little older, you start to notice the little signs that time is catching up. They move a little slower. They don't have the same energy, you know? And you wish there was an easy way. to help them feel a little bit more like their old selves,

but you just think, oh, they're getting older. That may not be the case. It may be that if you're feeding your dog kibble food, that's processed food. Imagine feeding your kids nothing but processed McDonald's, okay, for their entire life, breakfast, lunch, dinner. That's what we're doing to our dogs. You need the nutrition put back into that kibble. So that's where Rough Greens comes in.

It's a nutritional supplement to add to your dog's food, whatever you're feeding them, and to fill in all the gaps left by processed pet food. It's got vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omega oils, all of the nutrients that support your dog's health. And honestly, it'll be like turning back the clock on your dog, at least it was with my dog. And Pat's dog and Stu's dog as well

when we started feeding them rough greens. Not a dog food, it's a supplement you put on their food. Rough greens, offering a free jumpstart trial bag. You just cover the shipping.

Let's say hello to good friend, fellow co-author and author of a brand new book called The Next Big Crash.

It's available at Amazon. And I hear the audiobook is, you know, pretty good. It's great. I know somebody who wasn't asked to read the audiobook, but, you know, nobody. Are you referring to yourself? You didn't get that email? I mean, it's an honor to be asked. Oh, right?

Yeah, you love to say no. Justin is a, yeah. Justin is a good friend, been for a long, long time. We've known each other forever. He's the Heartland Institute, vice president. He's senior fellow for our republic and author of the new book, The Big Crash, the next Big Crash. So yesterday, quickly, in a nutshell, recap what you told us yesterday about how we don't

really actually own our stocks. Yes. So, 1960s and 70s, big Wall Street firms and other powerful interests. We're going to get into that. Lobbied Congress and state lawmakers to totally transform your relationship to your investments. When you make securities investments, meaning stocks, bonds, what you think of as Wall Street investments, you do not actually own directly the investment itself. You think you do, but you don't own it. They changed it so that one singular institution called DTC, the Depository Trust Company, is the single owner of virtually all securities investments in the United States today, more than $80 trillion worth of investments held by one institution, which they then put in the Federal Reserve. And then they built all these laws on top of it

so that if they really need to use it, they could bail out big institutions potentially using your investments. They have the ability to do this with just some minor, changes to the law, they could easily do this so that the too big to fail institutions survive and you may be crushed in the process, but oh well, that needs to happen in order to stave off what one of the experts involved in all this said, an Armageddon-like scenario. This is so shocking how, I mean, I really believe our biggest problems come from the greed of Wall Street and banking. I mean, it is, the banks are so unbelievably. self-centered and egotistical.

You know, well, we make the world possible. Well, yeah, except all the workers that are working for the money that is depositing in your bank. You know, they kind of make you possible. But, you know, it's, it's amazing how they just cut government, big corporations. This is fascism, by the way. Government, big corporations, and banking all colluding together where you really get the shaft every time. Hopefully, we don't have to ever see any of this happen. And hopefully, you know, you just bringing attention to it might really help to make sure it doesn't happen again or it doesn't happen a first time in this particular case.

Who was it that put all this together? How did this happen? Okay. So this is an incredible story. And it took me three years to put all of the pieces together. But some of this is a lot of this is fact. Some of it, there's theory. I'll explain when it's a theory and when I think it's a fact.

Okay. So what we know is this. The initial person who was put in charge of this project by all these powerful interests on Wall Street and banks was a guy named William Denser. William Denser has passed away. He's no longer with us. But William Denser was the guy who was put in charge of DTC when it first launched. And he ran it for two decades. Okay, stop.

So what made them want to do this? Because yesterday you said it was. getting bogged down because you can't print the stock certificates fast enough because there was just too much trading going on, et cetera, et cetera. And that makes sense that they would do that. Was that the only reason they stated that people started thinking about how do we fix that? Or were there other motivations? The other, yes, there were other motivations in addition to solving what they were calling the paperwork crisis that was happening on Wall Street. The other big motivations were by centralizing

ownership of all the securities. They essentially control those securities in the event of a catastrophic situation. They are the direct owners of it. So they can tap into that wealth if they need to. But on a day-to-day basis, these institutions are getting filthy rich off of this model. Because now, when you buy an investment, you're not really buying the investment. So they get to use the investments to do derivatives trading, to do stock lending, to do options and fees. And, you're not really buying the investment. So they get to use the investments to do derivatives trading, to do stock lending, to do options and futures and all these other things, and they're making a fortune off of it. Now let me explain this and correct me if I'm wrong. So what that means is if I have the

bank of Glenn and I convince you to put all of your stocks and bonds and everything into my bank and I'm holding them. And then I changed the law so you don't actually own them, but for your own good. I own them. You can have access to them at any time that you want and that you think everything is fine. But what you don't know is I'm sitting on $70 trillion. And so I can take that to other banks, other institutions and say, I've got this big asset here of $70 trillion. I need this loan. So I can go buy these other assets and make trillions of dollars on that. without using my own money, I'm using your assets to borrow against. And then I can also, right?

Is that right? Or wrong. They can do that if they were to change some of the rules and laws. They're not supposed to do that. They're not supposed to do that. They have been caught doing it in certain situations, like in 2008, there were institutions doing this where the laws that I'm talking about here were triggered. So this exact thing that I'm warning everybody about that happened with Lehman Brothers in 2008.

J.P. Morgan Chase Bank and Lehman Brothers. And the exact thing that I'm warning everybody about in this book, The Next Big Crash, happened in 2008. And it happened again in 2011 with another firm. And it's happened in other periods of time, too, in limited cases. So this isn't just theoretical. There are examples. It's in the book.

You can look it up. What I'm referring to when I'm talking about being able to pull from people's assets is if all of the securities are owned by one institution and they, and you get somebody who is on Wall Street and they're trading on margin, meaning, you know, and they're borrowing stocks so that they can, they're basically gambling on Wall Street.

Think of it as gambling on Wall Street. You're making risky investments to maximize your gains. They don't need to go to anybody to ask permission, basically, because all of the stock in the whole world, essentially in America, is all owned by one institution.

So all the institutions on Wall Street, are part owners of this DTC institution. It's a corporation. But we're not. But we're not. No, the public can't. The only people who can own it, but really, DTC is a subsidiary of another company called DTCC.

DTCC is a corporation owned by Wall Street firms and banks who use it. You have to use the institution to be a part owner in it. Regular people can't buy it. So they're all benefiting from the fact that this property is being held in this one institution and they can all basically pull from it in order to do all kinds of crazy things on Wall Street. The entire derivatives market and in the book I've got example after example of example of people admitting this. The entire derivatives market, stock lending, options, futures, all of that stuff would not be possible. Explain what derivatives are. A derivative is an

investment that's derived from an underlying investment. It's not, the actual investment itself. So this is why when I say it's like gambling, it's kind of like gambling. Like if you imagine a football game and you've got two teams playing each other, you have the game. But then you have all of these other people

who might be betting on the outcome of the game, but it's not the game itself. It's the betting of what's going to happen. So then you have other people betting on the betters. This is how this works. And there's layer upon layer upon layer of basically betting on what's going to happen in the future. And there are. So in other words, let's let's say I have a pile of a AAA rated loans for houses.

AAA, they're never supposed to go. They're never supposed to go on it because they're all AAA. They're all the best. They're all the best people, as Trump would say, all the best people. They never seen anything like this before. Those people, people can come in and bet that, yeah, those are not going to go down. And some others can bet, no, we're going to have problems. and you're going to see AAA loans go down. And so they're actually gambling on what's going to happen to that series of loans. And that's all one way or another, all connected. So when it starts to fall, everything falls apart.

Yeah, this is, yeah. I mean, a lot of this was related to what happened in 2008. And there are legitimate reasons and good things that you can do with derivatives. You can hedge. And, you know, there are good reasons to have it as well. But whenever you hear people talk about credit default swaps or other kinds of swaps or futures trading or Shorting like people hear about the short and you have the movie the big short you know that was all about the 2008 crash all of this is derivatives trading All of that would not be possible or a lot of his derivatives a lot of that would not be possible at scale without this model because they would have to go out and ask permission to use other people's property when they've

got securities sitting in their own personal vault at home, you couldn't use that. So by centralizing it, you get to access all of that wealth and move it around. But I think there's also a lot more nefarious stuff going on, even more nefarious than that. Okay. So let me take a one minute break. Then we'll come back, talk about that and then get back to the story of how did this come together? Who did this? Coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about Mercury 1. When tragedy hits, it has a way of exposing how fragile normal life can be. One storm, one fire, one act of violence, and families are without homes, without supplies, without any idea at all what comes next.

In those moments, it's not about headlines or politics. It's about people who need help right now. And that is why I built Mercury 1. It's why they exist. They move quickly to provide practical help when disaster strikes, whether that's food, water, shelter, or other essential support for families who have lost almost everything. but they don't just show up for a few days and then leave. We help in the long term.

We are the first in and the last to leave. We rebuild people's lives after the cameras are long gone. It's neighbors, helping neighbors on a larger scale with compassion that turns into action. Bad news travels fast. Let me tell you this. This travels slow, but there are still really good people moving just as fast to bring hope and real help where it's needed most. And I would like to invite you to join us by becoming a monthly partner at Mercury 1 for just $15 or more a month.

$15 a month is game changing, really. Mercury1.org. Mercury1.org. Join us, will you, and help us restore the human spirit? Mercury1.org. 10 seconds. Come back. All right.

So tell me what's worse, more nefarious than what we were just talking about. Okay, so I think fundamentally, and some of this is fact, some of this is theory, and I'll explain that more, but I think fundamentally, this is about the most powerful people in America at that time and even to this day, wanting to control over the system and wanting to make sure that you, as the individual, don't have the ability to control your own property so that if there was a crisis, they would be prepared. In the meantime, they keep getting richer and richer off of the system. The reason this is, I think, one of the most incredible conspiracies of all time, creature of Jekyll Island type stuff, I think even crazier than that, is because of this man named William Denser. William Denser is the guy who they put in charge of controlling this institution DTC that owns all of the securities investments. When I first learned about William Denser, I realized there had to be something. wrong here because when they put him in charge, he was completely and utterly unqualified to run this Wall Street institution. He made no sense, no sense prior to- What'd you find about, what'd you

find out about him? Because I believe it made sense in the- So prior to running this institution, he was the chief bank regulator in New York. Okay, so he had no Wall Street experience, no experience doing stocks, had no experience working for a clearinghouse. He was the chief bank regulator, which maybe you could say, well, that's kind of the same thing, except being the chief bank regulator of New York

was also a position that he was completely unqualified for because he had no experience in banking, no experience working in economics, no experience in domestic policy, basically, before getting that position. And he only had it for a couple of years. So you go back one more layer.

what was he doing before that? Before that, he was running this new, he was part of this New York Economic Commission, which again, he was completely and totally unqualified for, made no sense, no domestic policy experience. How did he get that job? How did he get that job? All of this is happening within just a few years. He's jumping to all these jobs. Suddenly he's in charge of the most powerful institution in the world. So you go all the way back to William Denser's early days as a college student. This is where the story gets just crazy. He's a college student. He becomes the of this national student organization called the National Student Association, the NSA. Not the NSA like the intelligence agency, the NSA National Student Association, the largest one in the whole

country. At the time, nobody knew this. But at the time, William Denser created, possibly it was him that initiated it, but he was definitely doing this, had a relationship with the CIA, where the CIA was funding this National Student Association illegally to run propaganda operations in the United States. So for several years, nobody knew about this. They found out about it later, like 15 years after he left. He's running the student organization getting funded by the CIA. So then he leaves the Students Association after he's done with college.

He ends up getting drafted into the military in the mid-1950s. And the CIA comes and says, actually, you're not going to be in the military. You're coming to the CIA. So he goes and he works for the CIA. So now he's in the CIA. And what he's doing in the CIA? I'm not entirely sure, except there are some insane stories that I found in the book. One of them, for example, is one of his buddies who was also in the intelligence community,

working and previously was in the National Students Association. He winds up dead at a hotel in the late 1950s in New York City. They find him, the maid finds him naked on the floor with a belt around his neck. rule it a suicide. Okay? The family says no way it's a suicide. No chance whatsoever. So they go to the media at some point later on and they tell this story to the Los Angeles Times and they say, you know, at the funeral, this crazy thing happened. This guy came up to us at the funeral, swore us to secrecy, the father and the uncle, and said, your son was a hero. Maybe the Soviets assassinated him. If they did assassinate him, it wouldn't surprise me. And who

Who is this guy? It's William Denser. So then the family thought, well, actually, maybe the CIA killed him. I don't know. And the story only gets weirder and weirder from here. Well, that's perfect because that is exactly what's, that's par for the course here at the Glenn Beck program. We're going to take a quick break and then it will get weirder and weirder from here. And then we'll also talk about where can you safely put your money? Where can you for the next big crash?

where can you go? That's coming up. So there's family trips, there's job sites, there's events, there's road convoys. We all assume everybody's going to, you know, see the message and respond right away. That's what my wife says all the time. Why did you read my message? Why didn't you get my message? You get my message?

You get me? No, I don't looking at it all the time. One reason she loves rapid radios, she pushes a button and I'm on the other end.

For almost 30 years now, I have asked you to join me a handful of times for something really historic, something I believe history showed up for. And one of those was the mall in Washington, D.C. if you were at Restoring Honor, you may not remember a word anyone said, but you remember the feeling. And I think that's going to happen again. This time on Ellis Island, May 2nd. you'll be able to watch it on Torch and other affiliated outlets on May 2nd.

But you want to be there live. There are only 800 seats available. It's for dinner. It's a big fundraiser. I don't even know if it's black tie. It should be. It's going to be an amazing, amazing event in the great hall of Ellis Island where all of our immigrant forebears came. They went through that hall.

going to be having dinner there and I'm going to be telling you the story of Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty. We are going to be showing you pieces of history. We are also going to be doing some, I don't think ever, do you know any other time? You know what I'm talking about, Ricky, the one big thing that I'm talking about. I don't think that's ever been done before. The one big thing? The one, yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Towards the ending. Oh, yes. I don't think it's ever been done before. And it is, it's just going to be game changing, I think. And the message is so hopeful and so great, especially now, this is, we are a nation of immigrants.

We don't hate immigrants. We don't want illegal immigrants or immigrants coming here who don't want to become part of America. These immigrants, our forebears, came because they loved the idea of America. The idea is, just give me a shot. Just give me a shot. So that is happening on May 2nd. All of the details, including something for musicians. We're looking for a couple of singers.

You'll find everything, including the tickets. They are on sale right now at glenbeck.com slash events. Glenbeck.com slash events go there now, read all about it. Those tickets are going to go quickly. A lot of them are already gone. There's only 800. They are expensive. It's a fundraiser, and I'm not making any money on it or anything else.

I just really want you to come if you have the means to be there because, believe me, you won't regret it. It'll be like the moment you saw the geese if you were there at Restoring Honor. Okay, we have Justin Haskins in. Justin wrote the book, The Next Big Crash, which is out on Amazon, wherever you get your books, but the audio book and the book at Amazon.com. and we were talking about this thing that he released yesterday. He told us about yesterday about this organization held by all the big Wall Street bankers,

and now the Federal Reserve that actually controls what you think you own. You don't have a stock certificate. You have a receipt from Charles Schwab or something that says, yeah, we have these in your name, but you're not holding them. They're not in your name. They might be a Charles Schwab, but they're not where they're actually being held. they're owned by one institution that's part of the Federal Reserve. And it was built this way in case of catastrophic events and Armageddon, if you will,

they can use that to keep all the banks propped up. You lose, but they'll be fine. Any of this sound familiar? So we were talking about how weird it's getting because the guy who was put in charge of this did not have the resume to be in charge of this. What did you say holds $80 trillion now? That's right. Yep, over a million securities, $80 trillion worth of securities.

Yeah, he did not have the, he didn't have the resume for it. And then the job he had before that didn't have the resume. We find out that he was in the CIA. And you were just telling a story about somebody who dies in New York and family is alerted by this same guy. Hey, he was a hero. You know, maybe the Russians killed him. And then you said it got weirder from there. How does it get weirder from there?

Well, so while he's in the CIA, it seems, and he's doing things like that story, he's also still involved with the National Student Association doing what I think is illegal propaganda. Of course it is. Yeah, with the CIA. The CIA is not supposed to operate in the United States of America. That's right. And they were using students who had no money as a way to accomplish this mission. So I think that was one of his main responsibilities while he's in the CIA. then he leaves the CIA when Kennedy becomes president to be in charge of helping to start this little program that you've probably heard of. It's called USAID. So this guy... Oh my gosh. Yes. Oh my gosh. You've got to be kidding me. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. So he was one of the main people who helped create USAID. He didn't, he wasn't the top top person, but he was in charge of hiring the top 20 people for USAID.

And that really doesn't make any sense either unless you understand that USAID was basically a quasi-intelligence operation. So it makes sense that you would want someone from the CIA with the CIA background helping to do that. The reason again, you know, it's so, oh, it is so evil of these people. The Federal Reserve is named the Federal Reserve Bank because they wanted everybody to believe that that is a federal institution. It's not. It's a private organization. Same thing with USAID. The reason why they call it that is because people for a long time called it USAID.

It's not aid. It is a way for the CIA. Kennedy didn't mean it for this. He was taking apart a CIA operation and said that's got to stop. He created this one, but this one immediately became, again, a way to funnel money through the CIA to get all of their black ops. done. And we're still, nobody still won't admit that. Yep. So this guy leaves this to go right directly to start this other with the Federal Reserve or what? So throughout throughout the 1960s,

before he gets to DTC, he's in the state department doing different things. He's working for USAID. Then he's working for this thing called Alliance for Progress, which was another effort to do, basically have the CIA and the U.S. government manipulate things happening. in South and Central America. That was one of the main goals of all of this. He was in Central South America working on top secret things. I have some of the top secret documents with memos and things that involve him, where he's talking about how they were using the U.S. government was propping up regimes and trying

to stop other candidates from winning in various places in South America using USAID, and other institutions and propaganda efforts. They say propaganda in these memos. It's unbelievable. So he's involved in all of this. His last job in the State Department, this is where it's so important for people to understand. His last job in the State Department is he's in Peru.

He's the USAID director in Peru. Now, at the time, there was a friendly sort of leader, the president of Peru at the time, was friendly to U.S. interests. U.S. cared about Peru a lot at the time because they had a very important company that had access to the oil fields in Peru. And this was a super hot button issue in Peru. The Peruvian people were very unhappy with this because they felt like they were getting screwed with this deal with this U.S. company that had

this. The company is called IPC. This is the International Petroleum Company. Okay. So one of the main jobs for William Denser was making sure that people in Peru didn't go crazy and get rid of this president who was helping the United States and have this sweet oil arrangement that's going on there. The year that William Denser leaves, and I don't know exactly when he left, but I know it was the same year. The year he left, there is a coup in Peru. The military overthrows the existing government, the pro-American government. William Denser leaves sometime around this same exact period. And the big reason why was a controversy over this oil company. Now, the International Petroleum Company was a subsidiary of another oil

company called Standard Oil. Rockefeller. We're the Rockefellers. Okay. So he leaves this, and very shortly after he leaves the State Department, all he's ever known is CIA operations, student activism, State Department, all that kind of stuff. He leaves and he ends up in New York and suddenly he's doing all of these things in finance that he had no experience doing and no qualifications for. Well, remember, Rockefeller Oil Company in Peru, who is the person that brought him into New York? It was the governor of New York, Nelson Rockefeller. So Nelson Rockefeller brings him into New York, and now he's in New York

on all these economic commissions. He's appointed by the governor to be the chief bank regulator. All of that is happening by the Rockefellers in New York City. And if I'm not mistaken, wasn't the Rockefellers, they were big pushers of ending the gold standard as well. That's right. What was their involvement, if any, with this, you know, this group that you found that's now inside of the Federal Reserve? So they involved with that. Everything, all of these people are the same people.

It's all happening at the same time. The Rockefeller family, Nelson Rockefeller was really big into Republican politics. The whole Rockefeller Republican thing is named. after Nelson Rockefeller. Nelson Rockefeller becomes vice president. Nixon is president at the time that we end the gold standard and the Rockefellers who are heavy into banking and finance and all of that. David Rockefeller, Nelson's brother was the head of one of the big New York banks, Chase Manhattan. And so all of this is going on. They're all pushing for Nixon to end the gold standard. That's what they want. So they're doing that at the exact same time that they're centralizing

ownership of all of these securities investments and people don't even realize that it's happening. It's all occurring within just a couple of years. So this was a total transformation of the financial system, of who controls wealth, a lot of the money printing that happened after this is a result of the decoupling of the gold standard from the dollar. All of this is being driven by the Rockefellers and their allies. And the Rockefellers had high level people who worked with them in banking and other things who were running big parts of the State Department at the time. David Rockefeller himself had been offered to be the Treasury Secretary numerous times, and he turned it down because he could actually be more influential running banks than he could

be as Treasury Secretary. So all of this is going on at the same time, and the world had just no idea that these things were happening behind the scenes. So you've got to ask yourself, why would they put the CIA guy from the State Department in charge of this project when he had to. no, there was no qualifications. He had no reason to be in charge of it. Well, I think it's obvious. He was connected to the Rockefellers. He was an intelligence guy. He was a state department guy. And that's who they wanted running an app like this. Let me tie something else together.

I'm sure you tied together in the book. But here's the real reason you have that. This Rockefellers, you know, part of the banking system, who's making all of the money from these derivatives and everything else you can do if they can put together to DCC, right? Yeah, DTCC. Who makes the money? The banks make all of the money, okay? I had a banker who just left the banking world tell me very, very high up, New York banking. And he said, Glenn, you can't go back to the gold standard.

There's not enough money to finance everything that the world wants and needs if we were on the gold standard. And he said, that's why we got off of it. Well, there's another reason to get off the gold standard. If you're a banker, you want to write those loans because you make more money. You want to be able to have all of this money in one giant pile, $80 trillion, that you can manipulate to make yourself and your buddies rich. I mean, that's why that guy was in charge of it. I mean, that's clear.

He's doing the work of the... You know, I wonder... Justin, I wonder how much money, actual money of ours, that somebody's getting rich off of us, and how much are just our taxpayers, plus now this that you just exposed, how much of it is actually going to fund color revolutions now here in the United States? How much money has gone into black ops from this organization? I bet astounding amounts of cash. It's, and that's a thing.

All of this is shrouded in secrecy, and we don't have access to any of, this stuff because it's not government. All right. Justin, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
