The Glenn Beck Program - Minnesota ICE Shooting: Do Tim Walz & Jacob Frey WANT Civil War? | 1/8/26

Episode Date: January 8, 2026

Tragedy unfolded in Minnesota when an ICE agent fatally shot a woman who was trying to evade in her car after running into the ICE officer. Glenn examines the incident and provides critical context that the ICE officer had that contributed to his split-second decision. The Left's reaction, however, including Minnesota's leadership, only raised the political temperature. Glenn and Stu further explain how the Minnesota woman left few options for the ICE officer with the decisions she made. President Trump announced that he is moving to ban giant corporations from buying private homes, but Glenn warns this isn't a solution and will only lead to more problems. Glenn and Glenn's chief researcher, Jason Buttrill, discuss America's seizure of a Russian oil tanker. Glenn admonishes ABC News' coverage of the Minnesota ICE shooting. Glenn goes through the difference between rugged individualism and the "warmth of collectivism." Glenn warns of what you're consuming while on social media. You become what you engage with, so be wary of consuming dark and negative press.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I want to start with thanking my staff for loving you as much as I love you, for caring about you and your day as much as I love you, for caring about you and your day as much as I do and caring about the quality of the content on the show. The reason why I say that is if I have one more staff member of this show, one more producer walk in and tell me, Glenn, this is the biggest story of the day and you've got to lead

with this. I think I'm going to have an aneurysm. Everyone is passionate about like six different stories today. My job is to do. to be passionate about all of them, and I am, now which order do we go? Do we start with, you know, Black Rock or, what is it? Blackstone, Blackstone not being able to buy housing? Yay!

Do we start there? Do we start with the tankers? Do we start with what the heck is happening with the defense industry? We start there? or do we start with Minnesota? I think we're going to start right there because we are in a constitutional crisis and Tim Walsh is right at the center of it.

We'll talk about that in 60 seconds. First, most people don't wake up one morning and decide to be stressed about money. It happens slowly over time. Life stacks up, a car, a house, you know, a few emergencies, that starts eating away at all of your options. And at first, you're like, you don't notice it or you notice it, but you're like,

I don't have any other option. And now you're kind of out, really out of options. This is what American financing do. American financing, they will help you step back and look at the whole picture, not just the next payment coming due, because that's where, that's, I know, if I get buying and stuff, that's what I focus on. Yeah, but tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. They specialize in helping people restructure debt in a way.

that will actually make sense using tools like home equity to lower your interest and create real monthly breathing room again. You've got a really low rate on your house. The last thing you want to do is refinance your house. You've got a really good rate. But you can take some of that equity and put it into like a 6% loan to be able to pay off your credit cards, which are charging you over 20%. No upfront fees.

You know, I arrived at the studio at 5 a.m. I'm in a great mood. It's my 26th wedding anniversary today. In a great mood. Totally at peace with the world.

Read all of the stories. what was going on, reading it at 4 a.m. I'm reading all the stories. Yep, got it, got it, got it. And by the time the staff started rolling in about six, I'm not stressed by the stories. I'm stressed by my own staff. Everybody is so passionate about everything that is going on. Let me just say this. It's all going to be okay. It's all going to be fine. It's all going to work out. here's how I know. Let's start with Minnesota. Let's start with NBC.

What? NBC breaks down the ice shooting in Minnesota. Normally, I would not say let's go to NBC, but they actually did it fairly. So here they are breaking down what happened in Minnesota and the ice incident yesterday. Listen. Stuff we were learning from the get-go.

Again, the police chief saying this vehicle was blocking the federal agents right there. That's right, Tom. And a big caveat, we don't know what happened before this, but they're definitely going to look at the fact this is an unmarked vehicle, but the lights are on. These are clearly members of law enforcement. So that's at least known to this driver. Let's play the video because something else happens right here. Those officers approach the vehicle, they try to open the door, let's stop it here. How will this help the investigators? Whatever is said here, what these officers say, if the driver said anything or not, could really help them understand whether or not they thought there was some sort of an imminent threat.

Was this person trying to listen to them? Were they scared? Or was this going to be a problem? And then, of course, what the driver does next? Let's play that video, trying to leave there. One of the officers felt like they were forced to fire, and they do. We want to show another angle, reverse angle of the same incident here. We're going to freeze it.

This is that same angle here. And what does this show us, Tom? Well, this appears to show an officer right in front of the vehicle. That in between the way that the vehicle was moving. And the timeline of that, how is the officer responding in that split second? Could it be critical for investigator? Finally, one more piece of evidence we want to talk about here, and it is the bullet hole in the front of the windshield. What will this tell investigators?

You look at this. You look at ballistics. You look at witness statements. You look at other video. All going to be part of this investigation. But Tom, it's going to take some time. Okay. That's basically what happened. That's what happened yesterday. Now, it's not why it happened, but it is what happened. Why did this happen? Well, let me give me one scenario. one of the ice agents, one of the agents involved, somebody had already tried to ram their car into him at another incident, tried to run him over because he's one of them damn ice people.

So if somebody's tried to run me over once before, and I'm in exactly the same kind of situation, I don't know. I think I tend to generally think, oh dear God, it's happening again. especially if it's in a split second, okay? Number one. Number two, if I'm an ICE officer and I have the mayor, the governor, and everyone else, I'm going to get to this here in just a second, I think you're going to love the National Guard comments that I have. If you have all of these forces making you into the villain,

A, you are on knife's edge every time you go out to do your job. Knife's edge. You are razor sharp and quite honestly, would be much more likely to defend yourself than you would be if, you know, if everything, if everybody was cool, you'd see an isolated incident. Somebody might come up, but you'd be like,

okay, relax everybody. But because everything has been ratcheted up to ice is, the evil ice, these guys are on edge. And they should be because they're constantly under attack, as are their families. Okay. Why are they constantly under attack? Why? Let me give you a couple of things. First, let me play cut three, uh, no, cut two. This is Mayor Frye. Um, right after the shooting. Here's what he said. But I do have a message. for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE. To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite. Hmm. Okay. Now, can I ask you, what else is going on in Minneapolis? They're going into the Somali community. Why Somali? Somali, Somali, Smalley, Smalley.

Is that in other news? Oh, yes, that's right. The biggest scandal of the state and possibly the biggest heist of taxpayer money in the history of our country is going on in the Somali community. Who are the most likely, you know, Tim Wall said some white people better go to jail. Oh, I know two white people that probably will go to jail. the governor and the mayor. So do they have any incentive at all to make the federal government into the bad guy? Absolutely.

Beyond just the fact that that's what Democrats do, I guess, now, is you just make the federal government. I thought we were the ones that hated the federal government. No, no, no. We've never hated the federal government. We hate the federal government out of control. We hate the federal government when it is being unlawful. unconstitutional, we do not hate the federal government. Anarchists, communists, people who are trying to actively overthrow our government

by causing chaos in our streets, they hate the federal government. To me, that sounds like Democratic Socialists of America. Sounds like the people who are really in charge. Not necessarily the voters, but the people who actually have been doing. duped and believe that the Democrats actually care about the Constitution are not trying to overthrow things. So, Tim Walsh comes out. After saying, get the F out of the city from the mayor, the governor comes out. And the government makes a statement saying that, let me see if I have it here.

Shoot, where is it? At the top. Here it is. here it is. No, it's not. At the very top of this? Yeah, Minnesota's terrible. Okay.

Oh, here. Here he said, I actually want the whole statement. I don't have it. I said yesterday, we're at war with our federal government. We're at war with our federal government. We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Christy Noam,

you've done enough. There's nothing more important than Minnesota. Sootan's safety. I have issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary. I remind you, a warning order is a heads up for folks. A heads up for who? A heads up for who?

There is no other way to read this other than, then I am training our National Guard to stand up against our federal government. Gang, this is the beginning of a civil war unless everybody remains calm and does the constitutional thing. First, let me take on his statement in 60 seconds. Patriot Mobile. Most of us are pretty careful about the big decisions in our life. but the small ones, the monthly automatic ones, we have a way of just, those just slip by without any thought.

And you don't want to switch because it's a pain and a butt, right? I don't want to lose my number. I don't know. I just, I'm fine. I don't want to switch.

Patriot Mobile was built for people who want a different kind of relationship with the companies that they rely on. I don't want to continue to fund companies that are, you know, today, cheering for the governor and the mayor of Minnesota. I don't want to do business with them.

So when this happened yesterday, I wanted to reach out to some friends who, you know, know the Constantine. institution and ask them, what, how does the National Guard actually work? A governor cannot

block the Department of Justice in any criminal investigation. The governor cannot block the Department of Homeland Security enforcement action. A governor cannot block immigration and customs enforcement deportations carried out under federal statute. Federal authority in these areas come directly from what's called the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution. It means the federal law is supreme over what the governor says and what the state law is. State consent for federal law enforcement is not required. So when a governor says we don't need any further help from the federal government. That's all political. There's nothing legal in that. Nothing. Now, a governor can refuse cooperation, but it can't interfere. A governor can say, we declined to assist federal agents. They can do

that. I don't like it, but they can. They can withdraw all state resources, not against the constitution. They can instruct state agencies you're not to participate. A governor can do that, but a governor cannot obstruct any federal officers, cannot threaten force to stop federal investigations, use state military assets to interfere with federal law enforcement, cannot do that, and the moment the governor crosses this line from non-cooperation to interference, they've just violated the Constitution and put us on the edge of a

constitutional crisis or civil war. Using the National Guard as a warning is the brightest red line you can find. Because there is no authority in the Constitution. In fact, the Constitution talks specifically about this and what he's trying to do. I've issued a warning to prepare Minnesota National Guard, prepared to be deployed if necessary. Once the governor said that, everything has to change. The Minnesota Guard, the National Guard, is a state force under the governor unless it's been federalized. But it cannot ever be used to obstruct federal officers.

The reason why Trump could call on the National Guard in California is because he was using them to protect federal officers. It can be nationalized by the president if the... the state cannot protect the federal investigations or federal officers. That's the only way he can just take control and say, nope, I'm calling up the National Guard and they're under my orders now, and they have nothing to do with the governor. He can call it up and nationalize them to protect federal officers carrying out federal law. That's the only way it can happen. That's why Donald Trump, they could cry a river that he was violating the Constitution, but he wasn't. That's why they lost every time in court because that's the Constitution. That's what the National Guard

is allowed to do, protect federal officers. Here's what they can't do. They can't obstruct federal officers. They can't enforce state political objections against the federal law. They cannot deploy or be threatened to deploy against DOJ, DHS, or ICE because that violates the supremacy clause. Also, posse comitatus. If they are, if they are deployed as police officers, if they are deployed to go against federal law enforcement, posse comitatis comes in. Also, federal criminal charges come in of obstruction of justice.

So it's not an issue of state rights. once he says I'm threatening to use the National Guard, that's constitutional defiance. Now, what does the federal government? What should our response be from the federal government? Federal authority continues anyway. It doesn't matter what the state does. Investigations and deportations need to proceed. No matter what the governor says. Okay, whatever. Federalization of the Guard does become an option. I don't like it, but if it has to, if it has to, to be done, then it has to be done. The president can do it, stripping the governor of command if he's threatening to use it illegally or not protecting the federal officers. The third thing

that we have an option is obstruction consequences. Federal injunctions, contempt of court, criminal exposure for obstruction. This all has precedent and it should be considered. Now, here's what Walsh is actually doing. He's not going to call up the National Guard and do that because he knows he'll go to jail. And he's avoiding. He's trying to avoid going to jail. That's why he and the mayor are doing this because of all of the corruption in Minnesota. This has nothing to do.

Do you think they're doing this because they're protecting the Somali citizens? That's what they're saying. But they have been involving Somali citizens. knowingly in deep corruption. And they also know I can never be elected here if I don't look strong on the Somalis. If we don't change the flag in Minnesota to look like the Somalian flag, I can't be governor anymore. Okay. What he's actually calling up is not the National Guard.

He is calling up the Democratic National Guard. He is calling up the honor. he is calling on people like Nicole Renee Good. He is trying to get people who are so zombie-like on the Democratic side to go up and put their bodies

and to obstruct. He's using them as soldiers. That's not just unconstitutional on the National Guard side. That is just morally reprehensible. More in a minute. Sorry, I reversed her name.

It's Renee, Nicole Good, by the way. All right. Burn a launcher. The Burna Launcher, personal safety is a hard subject because most people are looking for something practical, responsible, and realistic for the life you actually live. Something that gives people an option without turning every situation into a permanent decision. That's what the Burna Launcher is designed to be.

You cannot separate the shooting yesterday in Minnesota from the border, corruption, and the investigation of that corruption. You cannot separate them. Otherwise, you'll get very, very lost. Let me give me an example from history on what's really going on here. Let me tell you a story. It was outside of this courtroom. It was in 1931, and the reporters were all jammed in, shoulder to shoulder.

they had their notebooks and those flashbulbs ready. And here comes the star of the day. The guy who's under arrest needs to go face the consequences, I guess. But he didn't come in shackles. He arrived smiling. He wore a really nice tailored suit. It was expensive, but it wasn't flashy over the top. And when he saw the press, he stopped.

Fellas. He starts talking. opens up his hands, like, you know, like you start to say, look, this is all a misunderstanding. Okay. Fellas. Why me? Why now? You know, I've spent the best years of my life feeding people in this city, helping the underprivileged in this city.

Best years of my life. Giving, giving people what? What? What? The light pleasures that they want. That's it. and all I get is abuse, abuse, abuse, and a federal government and a government

that we all know is corrupt trying to squash me. All I get is abuse. The reporter said, Mr. Capone, so you're not guilty? Fellas, guilty of what? Guilty of what? Errors on my income tax?

Paperwork? You know, they say all kinds of things about me, but they don't bring those charges. They're taking me out on paperwork, things that everybody does. You know what really gets me? And he lowers his voice, so now all the reporters are leaning in like he's going to share a secret with them. You know what really gets me? The same people, the same politicians that are yelling about law and order right now, Half of them were drinking my booze.

Some of them even took my money. We all know they're corrupt. Now I'm the fall guy, and the reporters reported on it that way. People in the bars that day when reading the stories, they were all saying to each other, you know he's right. You know he's right. I'm just a businessman. I just give people what they want.

What's wrong with that? You know, maybe they should fix it. the laws and not try to hang everything on me. Mr. Capone, do you feel hunted? Do I feel hunted? You try being successful in this town without somebody trying to tear you down. You can't make it. There it is. Not a confession? A complaint.

Not a defense. An accusation. The government wasn't enforcing justice. It was jealous. It was corrupt. It was hypocritical. He's standing there in his silk suit saying, I'm a victim. I'm a victim here. Okay. Why does this matter? Why am I telling you the story of Al Capone and income tax? By the way, he went to prison. And by the way, we all know who Al Capone is, a bloodthirsty animal. What Al Capone understood then and nothing has changed. What he understand is, if you can convince people that law enforcement is unjust, you never have to prove yourself innocent, you only have to prove yourself targeted.

That's it. What have they been saying in Minnesota? We're being targeted. We're being targeted. They're only targeting me because the Republicans don't have any answers. They're only targeting me because they can't win any other way. They're only targeting me. The DOJ is doing this investigation.

You know why? Because they don't want immigrants here. The only reason the federal government is doing this is because Donald Trump hates Somalis. They're only doing this because they're racist. They're only doing this because, well, they don't like anything that's not white. They were born to oppress. They're afraid they're going to lose their precious white America. You say those.

things enough, you don't ever have to say you're innocent and prove that you're innocent. Because you've created an army of people that go, yeah, you know what, that's right. Al Capone didn't get away with it. And neither will Tim Wals.

Neither will the Somalis that have been taking money from the taxpayers of Minnesota tax money that they worked three months out of the year. to be able to pay their taxes. They pay their taxes.

They actually do care. You know, Minnesota is practically, well, it is, a socialist state for a reason. It's in the culture of the people who originally populated that state. They want to help. They care about people. And they've had that good instinct taken and used by politicians against them. Why? because the federal government put Somalis for some reason all in one place, all there in Minnesota,

and the politicians realized we can't get elected unless we do something for the Somalis. We got to give them something. And what they have to give them now is protection. We have to protect them because if we don't, they're not going to vote for us again. And we also have to make ourselves the victim because otherwise, the DOJ is coming in and they're going to see we knew about all of this

and we should be in jail can't be that story Al Capone the dead bodies were behind him but the narrative was in front of him the corruption is behind Tim Walsson

Fry and everybody else that's all that corruption is behind them they want you to look at the narrative in front. Don't do it. Don't. Don't be dup. Don't, you know, if I have time today, I want to talk to you about why you were born. And I can't tell you the reason you were born. I mean, I'm 61. I just discovered, I think, in the last three months, I've discovered why I was born. I know why I was born, what I'm supposed to accomplish. And it has nothing to do with business or

anything else. But I know that. And that's for me to know. And you, you have a calling of something. I don't know what it is. I barely know what mine is. But I do know why you were born, and it's the same reason I was born, to act. To act. It's why free will was given to each of us. Every single human being is born with a free will. And so you are born to act. Human beings who want power need you to not act, but to be acted upon. I refuse to be acted upon. I make the choice in my life.

I make the choice of what I believe, what I do. Nobody else does. I am not going to have somebody just convince me of one thing and not do my own homework, not firmly believe in something before I. act. But people have been acted upon so much. I've got to share this whole thing with you later on in the show because it all goes to the warmth of collectivism.

You want somebody to put a blanket around you and go, it's okay, I'm going to take care of everything. The warmth of collectivism, don't worry. You don't really have any responsibility. I don't want that. That's not what we were born for. It's so incredibly destructive. So you have a choice today.

You can either look at the whole story and not get emotional because I'm going to tell you a story next hour that I did, and I'll bet you you did too. When I heard it, I went, yes, finally. Donald Trump did something yesterday that I said, yes, finally. And then I took a breath and went, wait. what? I was emotional. Justice. I want justice.

And then I realized that's not justice. That's not. That's not even solving a problem. That might create more problems because we're not actually addressing. When you want to go after ice and stop ice, you're not addressing the problem. You're fixing a symptom.

The problem is we have illegals here. We have people who are dangerous here. We also might have illegals who are perfectly fine and great. Great. But we don't know which ones which. In Minnesota, you also have deep corruption and millions of dollars being sent overseas to Somalia. So we want to stop ICE from coming in. We want to stop the DOJ from coming in.

That makes no sense. Makes no sense whatsoever. Step away from the emotion. Look at the facts. Remember your principles. Remember who we're supposed to be. And then act. Then speak.

More in a minute. First, let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust. Real estate is one of the few places where a small mistake can follow you for a very long time. Price was just a little off. A negotiation that could have gone better. a decision made quickly when it should have been made carefully. Most people only do this a handful of times in their life,

which means you're making a very high-stakes decision without the benefit of experience. And unfortunately, not every agent in real estate is somebody that can bring you through that moment. It's why real estate agents I trust.com exists. It's not about who advertises, you know, the most or who promises the moon. It's about finding the professionals who know their market, their local, market. They understand timing. And, you know, they actually, they treat your home like the financial major decision that it actually is. You're connected with agents who have been vetted for experience and the ability to advise and not just push a deal through. So go to real estate agents.Itrust.com.

This is my company. We'll show you who can help you sell and buy your home even in a tough market. The name says it all. Free service to you. Real estate agents, I trust.com. You know, the host does have to pee every now and then. Glenn Beck will be right back. A lot of people think the hardest part of eating well is discipline. In reality, it really can be something called decision fatigue. You're constantly asked to evaluate labels and trends and expert opinions that seem to change every 15 minutes. And eventually, even well-intentioned people just give up and grab what's ever easiest.

I don't know anybody like that. But my understanding is unhealthy people do things like that. What health code does is just remove all that, right? They don't have to, you don't have to worry about the constant negotiation. It's designed to have basically a path to make you have choices that are easy, but are still really positive. The work has already been done on the front end by the health code. They have a clear focus on how the body actually processes fuel.

Dr. Ben Bickman, he's a metabolic scientist. He developed this. He built health code after years of studying why this is happening, why people feel unsatisfied, even when they're trying to eat responsibility. And again and again, came back to the same thing. Metabolic health. How blood sugar is managed, how insulin responds, whether your meals are helping your body, stay steady, or constantly recover from spikes and crashes.

Health code can help you with this, and it's easy. It is a nutritionally complete shake. And if you want to save some money on it, go to shakesavings.com. shake savings.com.

Oh, you didn't give some important advice to our listeners, which is don't drive cars at police officers. Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. I didn't know that until yesterday. Look, you know, I really want to be careful here because, you know, the left,

I don't want to do what the left did to Ashley Babbitt. Ashley Babbitt, January 6th, she shot. She's a part of this uprising. She's in the crowd. She's not behind a deadly weapon. They shoot and kill her. And they made her into this horrible, horrible monster. I don't want to do that with this woman.

Because, you know, the difference here is she was behind a deadly weapon. A car can be a deadly weapon. She was behind a daily weapon, a deadly weapon. However, I don't know what her mental state. She probably was all hyped up on this. You know, her wife came to the scene and was crying and saying, it's my fault. It's my fault.

I told her to be here. So I don't know what the conversations were like beforehand, but she was driven to, you know, to, you know, to speak her peace, let it be seen, I've got to stand up and stop this, whatever. You're going to get in trouble. And, you know, I don't want to demonize her like the left demonized Ashley Babbage.

I don't think I'm demonizing her at all. Oh, I don't know. But the fact is she tried to stop federal officers. The fact is, when you watch the video in slow motion, she accelerates with her wheel turned to the left. The only reason she doesn't hit the, cop a lot harder is because she slips on the ice and she doesn't turn the wheel until after the gun is out.

Yeah. This is all stuff that is going to come through in the trial. I know. You know, it does not mean that you should sit here and make her into the worst person in the world. But it is, I think, some valuable advice to at least half of our country today to remember that if you drive your car at an officer, there's a good chance something like this happens. Especially ICE, who people keep driving into.

Yeah. You know, you can't expect them to take the beatings over and over and over again and risk their life without responding. You start acting like a hostile. You're going to be shot. You're going to be shot. I mean, I remember when I was, I grew up in Mount Vernon, the small little town, you know, 30,000 people at the time. And, you know, if you were pulled over, you'd get out and you'd go back and you'd meet the officer halfway. I'm 18.

I moved to Baltimore, Maryland. I'm pulled over. I get out of my car to go meet the officer halfway and he's got a gun on me. Get back into your car. And I'm like, what the hell? He comes up and he's like, do not ever do that. I'm like, I'm sorry.

I'm from a small town. That's, I'm sorry. I had no idea. You cannot do those things. No. Can't do it. And I can picture that scene happening, but could you just paint a little bit more color?

Was it in the DeLorean? No. No. Because you did? If those doors popped up and he fell out, like, oh, that would have been made so much better. Yeah, the steam rolled out. I was in my white coat. Great. Oh, you sick freak. Welcome to the program. My name is Glenn Beck. And I want to talk to you about something that Donald Trump suggested yesterday.

And I cheered when I first heard. Cheered. Finally. Yes. And then I stepped back and I went, wait, wait, wait, wait. Is that the problem and is that the fix? And I want to talk to you about what happened with corporations buying up homes. Finally, we're addressing it. Good. We'll get there in 60 seconds. Every power outage turns the same strange experience.

Everybody repeats it. I mean, it's the same. Suddenly everybody becomes very where they're standing, what they're wearing, what room of the house is actually habitable without electricity. and that's when you realize how much modern life assumes the grid is just going to be there. No questions are asked ever. You know, heat, cooking, comfort, it's all there. And once it disappears, you're left improvising like, you know, a bad camping trip that you didn't plan at all.

That's why the Vesta, the Vesta heater from my Patriot Supply, is so good and so clever. It is compact, self-contained. It's a heater that runs without electricity. It can also be used for cooking, which means you're solving two problems. with one piece of gear. You set it up, it does the job, your house stops feeling like a science experiment gone wrong. The best part is right now you can get the Vesta and a bunch more other preparedness gear as free gifts when you order the winter survival kit for MyPatriot Supply. Just go to Mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn. See everything that is included. The offer's not

going to last long. So go to Mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn. Do it now. Mypatriotsupply.com slash blend. All right. I want to say something really, really careful because this matters. A conversation is happening in our country right now about housing, about corporations being able to buy homes and whether they should be allowed to do that at all. And my first instinct is no, because the pain this is causing and the pain is real. Young families are locked out, rents rising faster than wages, communities hollowed out, and

you have governments all around the world who are pushing for, you will own nothing and you'll like it, meaning somebody owns everything. You're just a constant renter. You're a serf. Yesterday, Donald Trump said, we should pass a law that will ban corporations from buying houses. And at first I was like, yes, because the problem is real. Finally, somebody is recognizing this problem. But every libertarian bone in me went, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait. Because banning ownership is not freedom. It's just not. What is the difference between

Mamdani saying you're going to have a different, if you're white, you're going to have a different relationship with ownership than you've had before because you're not going to be able to buy things that others can buy. That's not a free society. Once you decide who can own property, you've crossed a line that history tells us is not easily crossed back in the other direction. But here's the part that we have to be honest with ourselves about, because pretending otherwise is honestly how we lose the country. What is happening in our country right now is, not a free market. You can look at it that way.

If you squint really, really hard and lie to yourself every day, you can go, yeah, we're a capitalist country. It's a free market. It's not. And until we admit that, we will just put Band-Aids on and we will start making decisions that are not right for a free people. We've built something entirely different from the free market. Anybody who was born in, I don't know, past 2000, I don't think you've never lived under a free market. You don't know what it's like, especially if your first memories are from 2008 plus.

The free market is gone. Here's what a free market does. A free market, a real market, risk matters. In a real market, price signals mean something. You can look at a corporation's paperwork and you can go, oh, I see what's going on here. Nope, that stock's going to go down because of this X, Y, and Z. But when X, Y, and Z show really bad news and the stock goes up, you're not in a real market. In a real market, if you make a bad bet, you lose.

But that's not what's happening, at least not at the corporate level. Okay, that's not happening in housing. Housing has been transformed into a financial instrument. It's not about a house for a family. It's about a financial instrument. And this isn't by accident. This is policy. It comes from years of zero interest rates,

trillions of cheap dollars, government-backed mortgages, pipelines that are all securitized, regulatory advantages that favor the size or the lawyers and the leverage that you don't have access to. Our federal government didn't just invite Wall Street into housing. It pulled it by the caller and said, you are doing these things because it's good for our re-election and I'll protect you if there's a problem. That's not a free market.

So when a hedge fund goes in and buys 10,000 single family homes, competing against first-time buyers, that's not capitalism. It's not because they don't have any risk. That's state distorted concentration of capital. Then when the government turns around and says, you know what, this is out of control. We have to ban ownership. That's not a solution. It'll feel good.

It felt good to me yesterday when he said that. I was like, yes, finally. It'll feel good, but it's not really a solution. That's like the state breaking your leg and then saying, here, I got a wheelchair for you. You're the one who broke my leg. How about we stop breaking people's legs instead of giving them wheelchairs? The problem is not corporate ownership.

The problem is privileged ownership. The problem is when government quiet, rigs the game. When, I mean, we saw this in 2008. When a government socializes the losses and all the gains are privatized, you win, you keep the money. You lose. I'm going to spread that to the taxpayer. That's not free market.

That's rigging. When financial instruments are guaranteed because you're large, you've got a huge, you've got a huge, huge system behind you, you've got a lot of money. When that is guaranteed for the large and the small guy can't afford it, then you've rigged the game again. Again, when risk is absorbed by you, but profit is captured by the institution. That's not liberty. That's not capitalism.

That's corporatism. and you know people used to say oh the governments are just for the corporations not for the corporations I don't like corporatism I don't like fascism that's a public private partnership that is literally what the W.EF the World Economic Forum and Joe Biden was talking about in speech after speech we're going to have a public private partnership that is the literal definition of fascism Corporatism leads to someplace really, really dark that we don't want to go to. Once people are priced out of ownership, once property becomes something that you can only rent from institutions. Remember, communism, the government just takes it all and they tell you where you're going to live.

And everybody gets a house, but I mean, depends on how popular you are with the state. That's communism. Fascism is when the government gets into. to bed with giant corporations, and the corporations are allowed to own everything, but only under the direction of the government. They play ball with the government. And again, in fascism, you really don't own anything. Everybody else owns something, and you don't. Once property is something that you only rent from institutions, then you've changed the relationship between the citizen and the state. You're no longer independent. You're, you're, you're no longer independent. You're

You're no longer rooted. You're no longer secure in anything. You're managed. And that's what we've been fighting against. I have been. I don't want to be managed by the progressives. I don't want to be managed by the World Economic Forum. I don't want to be managed by a conservative who believes people should be managed.

That's when all of the warning lights should start going off. You know, this week we have dealt with constitutional issues over. and over and over again. Sometimes they cut your way. Sometimes they, the constitution comes in and says, no, that would be a violation and you just can't do that. And you're like, crap, because that's an easy solution. But that's, that's not who we are. We're not, we're not a country that believes in easy solutions. We look for the right solution. There are really powerful global voices who are speaking openly about a future where ownership is obsolete, where everything is nothing but a service, and where permanence is replaced with permission, stakeholder capitalism comes to mind,

efficiency, sustainability comes to mind. But history has another word for that, and that is feudalism. The serfs that don't own their land, the lords of the manor own everything, and you live at the pleasure of the lords. I am not willing to sit here and watch or help or remain quiet if America takes a single sleepwalk step back into feudalism. Not one inch goes that way. And especially not because you're afraid to tell the truth or you're afraid to be unpopular. Whatever. So what is the truth? Here is the truth. You don't fix a rigged market, by banning ownership. You fix it by removing the rigging.

We lose, if you believe in the Constitution, you lose by denying that corporations are coming in and buying housing, and there's a shortage of housing, and a lot of it is happening because of things that have been rigged and the government getting into bed with all these corporations. If we deny that that's happening, we say, no, the Constitution won't allow you to do that, but you don't offer a solution, you lose.

Because the problem is real. So how do you fix it? One, no more government backstops for bulk buying of anything. No. A government has no, there's no backstop for you. If an institution wants to buy 10,000 homes, fine. But you do it with real rates, real risks, real consequences. You get no hidden guarantee.

no taxpayer insurance, no socialized downside. You lose, you lose. And you go out of business, just like I would with one house. Second, tax neutrality. There should be no special depreciation tricks. No accelerated write-offs. No advantages that only exist at scale. If the average person can't get it,

you shouldn't get it because you have, scale. If you rent a house, you play by the same rules. I don't care if you own one house or a thousand houses or 10,000 houses. And here's the big one. Third, zoning laws. We have to unleash supply. Zoning laws, minimum lot sizes, endless environmental reviews, parking mandates. All of this is written by, for a different sense. honestly, and they're artificial constraints that are strangling housing and protecting the incumbents. They benefit the large and they punish the young. If supply were actually allowed to respond, hoarding wouldn't work as a strategy.

Last one, watch concentration, not ownership. Antitrusts exist for a reason. When any entity, whether it's corporate or otherwise, begins to dominate a regional housing market, that's again, not freedom, that's control. No one can dominate that. That's antitrust, transparency, reporting, friction as concentration rises, not bans, but boundaries. What we should be defending is really simple and non-negotiations. property ownership must be easier for citizens than it is for institutions. And right now it's the other way around.

Not forbidden to institutions, just no longer privileged. You shouldn't have any of these privileges. If I don't get those privileges, you shouldn't get those privileges. And we should defend the free market. But don't defend this because this is not the free market. And if you're defending this as the free market, nobody who has never lived under the free market, will go your way.

Because this is not the free market. This is all rigged. It's all a game. And we all know it. So don't even suggest that this is a free market. If the left solves things by banning things and banning ownership, they'll destroy the foundation of the republic. They'll destroy the free market.

And that's not a small issue. It's not about housing. It's whether the American experiment rooted in, you, the private citizen, the private property owner, the one who has personal sovereignty, whether that continues or not, or we just trade it quietly away for managed comfort, the, what was it? The warmth of collectivism and permanent rent. I won't go there.

I'm glad he addressed it. I'm glad he said it has to be a law, but I won't go there. I want laws that remove the rigging of this system. Back in just a second.

I think I made the call on Monday or Tuesday, but it just came out in the Toronto Sun. And so I just want to give you the update on this.

Let me just read the article from the Toronto Sun. There is no question this date on the calendar was circled as the day a Canadian citizen was legally allowed to die. And if not for American Glenn Beck and his audience, Canadian Jolene Van Alstein would have been dead today. The date is January 7th, 2026, the day Jolene was eligible to end her life with medical assistance under the supervision of Canada's medical assistance in dying program. Thankfully, and here's the update, it is not happening. Instead, the 45-year-old Saskatchewan wife and mother has not only chosen to live, but is fighting hard. And she's getting a lot of help and prayers from across Canada and the United States. Jolene said, yes, today was the original day they gave me, but I'm not doing that.

She says, I don't need to read this, you know, there are people who helped her, blah, blah, blah, but we put out a cold call to the American medical community to see if they would assist her in staying alive and help her deal with her chronic gland issues, best described as rare and extremely painful. There is currently no Saskatchewan surgeon able to perform the surgery she requires. Beck offered to fly Jolene and her partner Miles to the Norman parathyroid Center near Tampa, which pledged to cover the cost of her surgery and treatment. Is it another surgery? She said, I've been taking high doses of calcium and vitamin D. This was recommended by some of the specialists from Toronto,

and the surgeon in Florida agreed it should be tried first. She said, if this brings me down to low normal, then I don't need another surgery. But she's still looking for an endocrinologist up in Canada. They were supposed to help her with that, but that looks like an empty promise. But we have endocrinologists here in the United States that will help her. But the good news is, because you made this into a story, because you cared, this woman is alive today. And she has hope that tomorrow will be better. All right, more in a minute.

He was a military intelligence guy. I don't know how he got that job, but he's with us now. And Jason, I want to bring you in because didn't you think the tanker thing? When you came in this morning, didn't you tell me the first, the big story is the tanker story? Can't hear him. It's like a movie, Glenn. It really is. The tanker story. You

thought that was the biggest story? Yes. That's why he's not in charge of picking stories. and the one thing that I agree with is this story is like a movie. You know, there were, I think it was 16 tankers in port in Venezuela or somewhere in the world that once Maduro fell, these tankers just fled like rats. They just, they and the reason why they got past, many of them got past our military and the blockade. is because there were 16 of them. And we just didn't have enough people to pursue all 16 of them. And so they've been chasing. But this one particular tanker, we got two of them yesterday.

One of them was actually was going towards Venezuela, but it was from Iran. Wasn't it? Wasn't it? Yeah, it originated in Iran. It published its shipping path beforehand. So that was out, that information was out there. It had nothing on board. air quoted nothing on board.

We don't even really know, but they don't think that it actually had oil or anything like that on board. Okay, so wait a minute. Hang on just a second. When you say air quoted, who's doing the air quotes? I got theories. Okay, all right. Okay, okay, all right, okay. So it's no official.

It's Jason air quotes, nothing on it. Okay. You know, and then go ahead and share this theory because I think that's a possibility. Yeah, so, I mean, so I know how. And when I say it's just me, there's a lot of other open source intelligence, like, accounts, organizations that are just wondering what the heck's going on. Because this is not how shadow shipping works. Now, shadow shipping is how you get around international sanctions. So if you're Venezuela and you're sanctioned and you need oil, if you're Cuba or Russia or whatever, you use this system.

So you get a really crappy oil tanker. It is rusted out. It sucks. they don't care what happens to it. So if it ends up getting interdicted and taken in the middle of the ocean, who cares? They never lost anything. It didn't loss anything. It doesn't matter.

And if there's anything on it that you don't want there to be caught or whatever, and it's not that valuable, you just throw it over the side. And who cares? You factor that into the loss. That is not how this situation played out as per the norm. Now, this, immediately, the ship altered course, Russia said, hey, I'll take responsibility. for this. Like, yeah, paint the flag, which I think is exactly what they did. Yeah, they did.

This is, by the way, once you're, if you're a flagship, if you're a Russian ship, when you're in port, you have to have the Russian flag. You're a Russian flag ship. It is illegal against international maritime law to change flags once under, once underway. You can't do that. And so this ship is underway. And, you know, they get into trouble with America and they put out a call. And they This is the strange part of this. They put out a call and Russia says, you can flag it with a Russian flag. So they literally on the side, somebody took, you know, three colors of paint, shimmied down, I don't know, the anchor chain and painted the Russian flag while they were sailing while they were out in the middle of the ocean and painted the Russian flag on it. So when when people say, we boarded a Russian ship, no, he didn't. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. Not in any way shape or form did we take a Russian ship. Yeah, it's like almost backwards, right?

Like, it was a kind of a Russian ship that was hiding it. And then they painted it illegally on there. Correct. Which then they called it a Russian ship. So whatever they needed to serve their needs. That was what they're going to say. Exactly right. Exactly right.

Okay. So go ahead and tell the rest of the story. Oh, so the drama continues. And the irregularities continue. So Russia sends out a. submarine. Again, this is like a... So painting the, repainting and reflagging the ship, that's straight out of Lord of

War with Nicholas Cage. There's your movie there. Meanwhile, the Russian Navy goes into overdrive to try and get out there and protect this ship. That's Humpharet October. It's a script. It's a movie script being written. So meanwhile, some of the other drama is, the UK they stopped providing

intel and any kind of corporation as far as these ship tankers go in the Caribbean, because they didn't know if their laws kind of jive with our laws, international shipping and everything. So they just said, you guys are on your own doing that stuff. Well, they made an exception here. They said, and they made it very, very public, that they helped providing intelligence, whatever else we needed. They were like, go after that ship. I think you're reading too much in it. They're staying out of the Caribbean and Venezuela,

because, A, we have a blockade. Why get involved in something like that? We're not going to get involved. We're not going to share information or anything. We're not doing any of that. That's in the Caribbean, that's Venezuela. This was, it was not in their waters, but it is in their protected or protection zone. It was in the North Atlantic, which is, was right off the coast, again, in international waters, but right off the coast of, I think Scotland. And so, because I saw a British official say yesterday, no, it was absolutely the right thing for the United States to call us and ask us to be involved in this because it is in our part of the North Atlantic. That's part of our job. is to protect that part of the North Atlantic.

But you don't buy into that. Well, I mean, I think your theory could be correct. It could be how it just lines up with both countries' national security. It's not my theory. That's what the British government said. I mean, it could be wrong, but I don't want you to know. It's not my theory. That's what they said.

So my counter would be, if this was just a normal shadow, you know, sanctioned ship that happens every single day. Yeah. They don't make a public statement of this. They don't even get involved. they don't care because it happens every single day. But this seems to be the one exception. It just seems to be the one. So what is your what is your theory that why is this, why is this bothering you? So I guess I'm curious and you can counter this. I think I think I know what your counter would be to this. Come on. We play chess for a very long time. Go ahead. Make your move. Put your pawn there.

My opening move is that you don't do. So this had this has this, this must. have had something on it. It must have had something. Now, if it was just something inconsequential, you throw it over the side. It doesn't matter. Now, you don't just throw it over the side if there's personnel, because they're not just going to throw people personnel over the side. These are despotic regimes, but they're going to respect that. They're also going to have, you know, if they are these people that were on board, they would have specific knowledge of something. Now, if they did, they're not going to want us to know or have the capability, or not, not, not, want to interrogate them to know exactly what, you know, their full intentions are. This is just a theory. It's some things throwing people. So why wouldn't the government, because here's where I think your theory falls apart. By the way, you moved onto a space where my bishop is. So let me take this piece away.

Why would the government not immediately release the information of what Iran was doing? A, it would only give us more power to collapse Iran. faster. If they were sending, let's say, nuclear, you know, scientists or terrorists in the hold of the ship, the world would be for us. And we would be able to say, see the connection between Iran and Russia. Look what they're doing against the United States. It would be a card that would be too big to hold. It's like Donald Trump was in the F-stein files. Why didn't they play that during the election? It would have taken him out. If they had that proof, they could have taken him out. Why wouldn't they?

Okay, so Glenn has made an incredibly risky chess move. So he's either checkmated me or I've checkmated him. Okay. So you're exactly right. If we do not hear within the next, I would say 48 to 72 hours. I would agree with that. I think we'll find out. So this game is not over, Glenn.

We are still playing. And you know what? And you could be right. The reason why I'm pushing up against this is I don't want to be a broadcaster that's coming out with just theory. without saying this is a theory and here's how we'll know. This is not an ongoing theory. You will know or you'll not know. And I think it's probably in the next 72 hours, 48 to 72 hours,

because our motivation to expose this would be too big. However, if that's true, that theory is true, they would be debriefing all those people right now. They wouldn't just come out and say, hey, we found Bob in the whole, along with Habib. We need to interrogate them know exactly who they are, know exactly what the intent is. I do think it's weird that Russia would all of a sudden step up and say,

that's our ship, we're sending a sub. That doesn't make sense unless another theory, unless Russia wants to sell to at least its people and allies, how evil the West and America is. Because, you know, there's, I hesitate to get into this. Maybe we should do this tomorrow or Monday. But there is this desire for war around the world. And it's coming, a lot of it's coming from NATO. And I told you yesterday, the way Donald Trump is just taking pieces off the board for China and Iran and Russia, it's going to put them into a corner.

And, you know, people become very dangerous when their, when their back is in a corner. and and and and and I also think Europe wants war. I really do. When they're talking about putting 2,000 NATO troops on the ground in Ukraine if Putin doesn't take this deal, that's insanity. It's insanity. You want war? That's a great way to get war. But I mean, we're not going to, I hope to God, we're not part of that.

That's your decision. But I told you years ago that when. When you get to the point we're at right now, where everything is on the verge of collapse, that's when you're historically when wars are started. Most, if not all wars, are started by a miscalculation. I should say most wars are because I don't believe World War I was a miscalculation. They miscalculated on how long and how many dead, but there was a group, the Fabian Socialist, They wanted that war to reset all of Europe.

They thought they could reset the boundaries and the kingdoms and everything else. And they did. But their miscalculation was they thought it would be easy and over quickly. It didn't. It killed millions of people. And I think there are those in Europe that are feeling exactly the same way the Fabian Socialists felt in 1913. This won't be hard. we've got to control our population.

Our population now is educated much more than they were five years ago. They're on to us. They know about this digital sovereignty crap and they are not going to put up with it. How do we do it? We need a war. And that will reset everything. I hope that's wrong. I hope that's wrong.

And let me just say, you should bet that it is wrong because it's betting on the worst of people. and I don't want to even admit that there are people who are hungry for war, but life has shown us there are. Putin wants to tell his own people that we're bad and make that case, that Europe is bad, England is bad, because they're going to go into war. Otherwise, I don't know. I don't know the answer why Russia would claim that ship and send subs out and threaten to sink our military ships if we approach that ship. It was from Iran. It had a painted flag on it. They painted it, you know, while after they launched.

Makes no sense at all. Back in just a minute. When debt starts piling up, the most stressful part isn't the numbers. It's the speed. Bills don't wait. interest doesn't pause and every month you spend, you know, sitting in the same place, stuck in the same spot month after month, the options start slipping away. At that point, you don't just need a solution. You need one that moves as fast as possible and that's where American financing comes in.

They specialize in helping people consolidate high interest debt and restructure their finances in a way that actually creates relief, not just another temporary bandage. You know, I, I, I, I respect this company so much because I've watched them operate for, gosh, geez, I think we're coming to, Stu, aren't we coming up to almost 20 years? We're like at 18 years with American financing, I think, because they started right after, yeah, right after the crash of 08 because I said, I'm not taking anybody that does anything with mortgages and they're like, we're not like that. I've watched them for years.

We've got a schedule to keep back. We'll be back. I got to talk to you about Jimmy Kimmel. That was last night. What a nightmare that guy is. Holding up a T-shirt that says Donald J. Trump will kill you. That's his response to what happened in Minneapolis. Donald J. Trump will kill you on a T-shirt.

No, I mean, I don't think that's bad for saying. Putting that on a T-shirt and encouraging everybody to wear a T-shirt that says that. No, for against a guy who's been, they've attempted to kill over and over again. Nah, Jimmy, I don't think you're turning up the heat at all. I don't think you're making things more uncomfortable for all of us at all. No, that's responsible. ABC should be ashamed of itself. No, the sponsors should also be ashamed of themselves.

The only reason why Jimmy Kimmel is still on the air, because he has no ratings, no ratings, is because the sponsors are still there and ABC agrees with him. That's the reason. That's the only reason. And I don't want him taken off the air. I don't want to boycott his sponsor. I don't want to do any of that. I believe the free market.

You should have all kinds of opinions. I just think he's reprehensible for doing that. How can you be so stupid to think that that's a responsible thing to do? Where was the punchline in that joke? Never has one. No, I don't. Does he tell jokes? I mean, I think his whole.

whole life is the joke now. Why do we still keep referring to him as comedian? I didn't. Make no mistake. I haven't referred to him as comedian in a very, very long time, if ever. Even when he was having women bounce up and down on a trampoline so he could watch their boobs flop around. Uh-huh. Yeah, I didn't call him a comedian even back then.

He's less funny now. All right, more in a minute. Things are feeling a little less human these days. aren't they? But isn't the whole point of progress to make things more human? That's why at TD, when we design a product, whether it's an app for making trading easier or monitoring your account for fraud, we ask one simple question, how does this help people? That's how we're making banking more simple, more seamless, and more intuitive. But most importantly, that's how TD is making banking more human.

There are two things I want to address this hour, and one of them is the warmth of collectivism, rugged individualism, and the other one is, I feel really good, and usually this is dangerous. The listeners, the insiders at glenbeck.com, have pointed this out all week. Glenn sounds like he's optimistic.

That's never a good sign. And that's actually fairly accurate. But I feel very optimistic. And I want to, I've been trying to figure out why. Is this genuine, what has changed in me, et cetera, et cetera. And I have some answers that I think affect you, that you should ask yourself some of these questions. And so we're going to share that in 60 seconds. First, there's a specific kind of frustration that comes from knowing that you communicated something clearly,

only to find out that nobody actually heard you. Texts get missed, calls go to voicemail, group threads turn into a mess, you know, of conversations that solve nothing. And all of a sudden, what should have been a 10-second exchange turns into 30-minute scavenger hunt for basic information.

That's rapid radios.com. Communication redefined. So what were you born to do? I can't tell you, I can't tell you what your calling is, you know, what specific skill you have. That's for you to decide. But I can tell you that you were born to act and not be acted upon. I want to, I want to get to the warmth of collectivism. I want to get to what why are these things happening so rapidly in Washington and mountains being moved and it all comes down to being somebody who acts or somebody who has acted upon so many of us have so many doubts that run through our head and we believe things that are not true but we believe them I'm going to say something that I probably

shouldn't say on the air. But I wrestle hard with a belief that I truly believe is real and no one that I know believes is. And that is that I'm a bad father. And I have my own reasons for believing that. But my children say that's not true. My wife says that not true. My friends say that's not true. But I believe it. Why? Why do I believe that? And I bet that you have something that you believe is absolutely true. I'm ugly. I'm not talented. I'm a failure. Whatever it is. I want you to ask yourself, who's teaching you that? I believe I'm the one. I'm the one teaching me that lie. Nobody's ever said that to me. It's been one of my big fears since I was a kid. and, you know, cats in the cradle song.

My mother used to say, listen to this song. As a kid, that wasn't really healthy, mom. Thank you. But that's, I think that's where it came from. And now I'm saying it to me. Why, you know, so much stuff is subjective, like I'm ugly. That's pretty subjective. Why would you choose to believe that instead of,

I'm a pretty good looking guy? Because we always seem to choose the negative. We dwell on the negative. I mean, look at what's popular in social media. Negative. Why? Why don't good things, inspirational things, things that uplift and empower,

why aren't those the things we grab on? to because everything that we think we have a choice on. What is the difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden? I mean, lots of differences. But fundamentally, one, I believe truly is a victim. Donald Trump, I've never seen anybody victimized as much as this guy. But if I went up to Donald Trump and said, dude, you're a victim, he might punch me in the face. because that is not the way he sees himself.

He is not a victim. They have tried everything to victimize and stop him, and yet he has chosen who he is, and victim is not part of that. And so by believing that and speaking those things and speaking the truth that I'm a powerful guy, I'm a smart guy, I'm a powerful guy, I am a guy who gets things done,

I'm a businessman, and I'm a good businessman. he has spoken that into reality, and that's what's happening. And in believing that he's not a victim, he's teaching others don't be a victim. Where I think Joe Biden saw himself as a victim of the system. I've put in my time in the system, and they tried to thwart me and not give me this because they wanted to give it to Barack Obama, and it was my turn. and then I had to make a deal with Hillary Clinton. And he was a victim his whole life.

And he was playing the game so he could get, he believed in the warmth of collectivism. I can't do it myself. I got to tell you, you could put Donald Trump alone, absolutely alone. And that guy is going to figure out a way to get it done, no matter what the odds are. You put somebody like Joe Biden in.

If he doesn't have somebody that he can, you know, wheel and deal with, I don't think he's going to get it done. And because he believes those kinds of things, because of what he believes, he puts into words and actions and he's teaching and taught people you're a victim. The power only belongs in the hands of the collective. And that's what we're really facing right now. Domani said, I'm glad he said what he said, that we are going to, to replace, what did you say, rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

Because that is the honest choice that we're facing right now. But I want to show you how one instantly leads to failure. Because your words have real power. Whatever it is, you tell yourself it will become. You at least will believe it. If you keep speaking it into existence, you at least, you at least. least will believe it, and most likely you'll create that. So let's talk about these two phrases.

Rugged individualism. What does rugged individualism or rugged, just rugged, what does that imply? When you hear the word rugged, it implies, oh, geez, there's going to be struggle. I got to be tough. Always going to be helping me out. I got responsibility. Oh, toughen up, Jack. That's what rugged means.

What does warmth say to you? The warmth. Warmth shows you're loved. We're going to hug you. You know what? Sit here by the fire. I'm going to get a blanket for it. I'm going to put it around your shoulders.

Ease. Okay? You've worked so hard. You just sit down. Can I get you some cocoa? that's what warmth leads you to believe. Okay. Rugged is for people who act.

Warmth is for people who want to be acted upon. Can somebody bring me a blanket? Rugged, they're not asking for anybody to bring a blanket. They know they have to go get the blanket. The reason why I started this with, why were you born? I can tell you everyone on earth was born to act. That's why you have free will.

You were born to act not to be acted upon. Can somebody get me a blanket? Warmth of collectivism. I've got to go get the blanket myself. It's my responsibility. Rugged individualism. One is about comfort, warmth of collectivism. When you hear that, don't you think of a blanket.

Don't you think of sitting by a fire or somebody just holding you and just, I have a warmth of color. We're all going to just hug you. Rugged individualism always makes me think of, yeah, those were the guys who, you know, cross the mountains, right? One was growing and pushing. The other one is sitting down and relaxing by the fire. America has always been the one who pushes.

And there's one thing about growth that is absolutely true. There is no growth in comfort. And there is no comfort in growth. When you are working out at a gym, I hugged my wife. And she was like, ow, ow. And I'm like, what, what happened? Are you okay? And she's like, yeah, no, my arms are really sore.

I've been working out all day. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's. That's why I don't work out, honey. My arms never hurt. But she says the same thing, and I can't testify this is true. I've heard this from everybody who works out, but I've never worked out a day of my life, which is why I'll be dead probably in about 10 minutes. But she said to me just last week, she was not feeling well.

She was like in a mood. And I said, are you okay? And she said, yeah, I just don't feel good. And I said, mentally, physically. And she said, like, mentally, I'm just, I don't feel good right now. And then she paused for a minute and she said, and I think it's because I haven't worked out in two weeks because we were on vacation. I haven't worked out in two weeks. I'm thinking, I haven't worked out my entire life and that's why I feel good.

Okay. But everybody I know that works out, they always say two things. And they're supposedly diametrically opposed. Ow, I hurt. Ow, my legs really hurt. And then they always follow it with, I feel great, though, because I worked out today. it's true. It is true.

You feel better. And let me take it out of for the work. For those of you who are slugs like me and don't work out, let me change this. I believe growth is our natural state. And remember, there is no comfort in growth and no growth in comfort. Growth is our natural state. And it's why you feel good after you've put in a hard day's work. after you've accomplished something yourself, you learn something new and you pushed yourself and

you went past beyond where you thought you were going to be. You feel good about it, just like you're working out. You feel good about it because growth is what you were born to do. Comfort is a human desire. It's not what you were born to do. It's a human desire. So which do you want? Are you, were you born to get everything you desire and you'll end up feeling worthless in the end? Or were you born to grow? The reason why I bring this up is I felt optimistic this week. And that's such an unusual place for me to be. I've felt really optimistic this week.

And I've wanted to make sure, is this real or is this a high because things are. What am I actually think? Because I have to think these things because I have to share my thoughts with you. And so I want to make sure I'm not just feeling like, wow, I feel good about this policy. And it's not right. It's not real. It's just a high. And this week, I think we've had real growth.

And it's hard growth. It's hard growth. We had to debate constitutional questions this week. and I feel good because I feel like we've taken the right steps and the hard and scary steps as a nation, but they're the right steps to repair us long term. And so I think that's what I feel good about. But I want to bring you back to Donald Trump. What was one of the first things he said when he was, when he was sworn into office?

One of the first things he talked about. What was one of the first things he talked about? and it seemed nuts at the time and we're still talking about it and I'm telling you it's going to happen. I don't know how, but it's going to happen. And it's something that's been around for a hundred years. I never talked about it before. But people in the people in, you know, I don't know, think tanks or whatever been talking about for a hundred years. I have never uttered those words before and I think it's going to happen because he believes it. Let me share those words with you hear in 60 seconds first.

There comes a point where your body starts offering unhelpful feedback, usually at inconvenient times. You know, you stand up and something makes a noise that it definitely didn't make 10 years ago. You reach for the floor. You think Jesus is calling you home. That's why I rely on relief factor. It's not about pretending you're 20 again or powering through like nothing hurts. It's about supporting your body where a lot of these issues start, and that is the Department

of Inflammation. You know, you don't want. movement feeling like you're negotiating every time you change positions. This is a daily supplement and that part matters because real improvement really shows up gradually.

Because there's two versions of this, of the truth of America. We're racist or we're not. We hate immigrants or we embrace immigrants and the change they bring. We're either greedy, selfish, and built on the backs of others that we just stole from, or we actually have made mistakes in the past, try to learn from those mistakes. And yeah, well, some of us might be greedy here or there. That's not who we are as an overall people.

You're either irredeemable or you're not. You're either held responsible for the things that you never did, that somebody way in the past did, you because you're the same color of them, you are responsible for those mistakes, or you're not. We're either a failing empire or we're about to write a new chapter. That's the debate that we're really having. And half the country believes half of that. All cops are bad.

Or the other half believes, no, there are some cops that go bad, but generally speaking, cops are good. which is it because we're going to have to decide because a house divided against itself cannot stand. Let me go back to that one word that Donald Trump said when he first got in and that is Greenland. Did you even know that's been debated for 80 years before Donald Trump started talking about it?

I didn't. I mean, I probably heard it, but I didn't think about it. I mean, like, yeah, okay, we're going to buy Greenland. okay we've wanted to do this for 80 or 100 years and it makes perfect sense but we've never had a serious conversation about it that I know of okay I'm telling you I think it's going to happen now it's not going to happen over my dead body will it happen because we invade Greenland I'll be very against that but if we wanted to buy Greenland we wanted to negotiate with Greenland and whatever and I think that's what's going to happen

But it'll only happen because one guy believed it and then said it. There's lots of things that you can believe. But it only becomes real when you say it. I was thinking today about young Frankenstein when when Gene Wilder is about to pound on the chest of the monster. And he screams, My creature life. You know that scene?

That's what you should think every time you speak something. Because whatever you're thinking when you speak it, what's behind it is give that creature life. Greenland. I think we should have the resources of Greenland. We should buy Greenland. We should be the 51st state Greenland. They should be a protectorate. Give my creature life.

Because he is saying that with meaning and belief behind it, it's going to happen. So what does this mean for you? Next. Okay, let me tell you about life lock. Paying for things has become so effortless that you don't even have to touch anything anymore. You wave a card, you tap a phone, and you're done.

There's a couple of things happening today and tomorrow that we have to talk about. But I just want to sweep up on something on this.

You know, words have consequences. And I want you to recognize that words have consequences on you and from you. what you're watching on social media will affect you. And, you know, it's interesting is we blame social media, but actually it's not social media per se. It's not these companies. Yes, it is the algorithm, et cetera, et cetera. But it is millions of people putting really bad garbage out. I'm not the one responsible for social media, but I did my own video, but I don't get very many of

use. But there's millions of people that are doing that. And so that's when it becomes the collective. It's just pouring all this garbage. And we have a responsibility to guard our minds and guard from the garbage. And Ricky just said to me, you know, this sounds like a fru-foooo. What did you say? I said, woo-woo, millennial girl vision board crap. Yeah. Yeah, right. You're so positive. And the reason the difference is, what is a vision board? Why do you mock a vision board? And I'm not saying it you're wrong to mock it. But why would you mock a vision board?

Because it looks like a craft project. Like that's going nowhere. Okay, it's going nowhere. Okay, here's why it goes nowhere. Because I would agree with that. When you put a vision board together, that's supposed to then help people. you see it so you can define it and then you speak it and then it becomes action. Most vision

boards just remain on the board and you're not doing anything to get that into action. You know, I want to be an astronaut. Well, you know, unless I'm training like an astronaut, unless I'm studying, unless I'm doing the things I have to do to be an astronaut, I can have me in an astronaut suit on my vision board my whole life and never become an astronaut. And that's why I think the left is going to fail. Words, you believe it, then you speak it, and then that summons action. When you're speaking something, it defines what you believe, and then it summons action, which also your words carry with it responsibility.

Why, when you're trying to lose weight, why do they say, Tell everybody you know you're losing weight. So you have someone to hold you accountable. Hold you accountable. Do you notice that no one's held accountable for anything anymore? Why? Because they're under the blanket, the warmth of collectivism. So you're not being held responsible anymore because I really believe if what you believe doesn't produce action, it's not just a vision.

it's not a belief. It's a preference. I would really prefer to be an astronaut. But if it's not leading to action, it's not a belief. It's a preference. And if words never lead to action, then that belief and those words, listen to this carefully, progressives,

decay into performance. You're just performance. put that black box up there. Why don't you have that black box on your on your social media site? You got to have that black box on. You haven't put the black box on? No, I haven't put a black box. You should put the black box on.

Everybody's putting the black box on. Nobody believed any of it. People were performing. How much of our life is performance now without belief. Again, Greenland, it's going to happen because he believes it and he's speaking it. And then it's coming into action. You could say, Joe Biden said,

we ought to get Maduro and Maduro out. He's a dictator and he's got out of there and everything. He didn't believe that. It was a performance. Because look at what they're doing now. You get him out. You do it legally, constitutionally. You get him out.

And all of those same people that said he should get out, they were performing. They didn't actually believe that. They were performing it. And that performance didn't lead them to get him out. but it did Donald Trump because he believed it, he spoke it, it put it into action, and it happened. And that's where, I think that's really where we need to be. We need to know what we believe.

And that's one of the reasons why we're doing the torch. Because I believe in something. I believe in America. And I think you do too. But what do you believe about America? How is that formed? Do you just believe it because you've always believed it? Or can you back it up?

Can you back it up when it's challenged? And can you beat the people who like, you know what? That actually was really bad. Yeah, it was. In fact, let me sit down for a minute. I'm going to tell you how bad it was. But here's what you're overlooking. That bad, we learned our lesson from that.

And out of that came this, this and this. That only happens if you believe it and clarify it while you're speaking it. Speech helps you organize your belief. And even if you're starting with, I think I believe this, the more you speak it, the more you're trying to define it. I mean, one of the things that honestly, Ricky, year ago, I came to the staff and said, trust me, next year will blow your mind. What I'm going to build and what I want your help with. And everybody said in that meeting, correct me if I'm wrong, everybody said in that meeting and went, I don't have any idea what he's talking about, and I don't think this sounds like a good idea.

You're not wrong. It was like we were all Indiana Jones stepping out on an invisible bridge. Exactly right, right? What's everybody's attitude on the staff today? We are super invigorated. Right? Okay. I saw something that I believed.

I spoke it, even though I couldn't actually tell you at the time exactly what it was. Remember I kept saying? Oh, gosh. We almost got in a fight about it. I know. I'm like, I don't know. But trust me, I will find it. And people were like, but you can't describe it.

I know, but I can in my own head. And we'll get there. And we got there. And it's happening. So when you, it's, you don't have to have it fully formed. You just have to know, do I actually believe that direction is right? And then you keep honing it and honing it and honing it by speaking it and being challenged with it.

And that's how we're going to save our country, quite honestly. Just like social media, if you could convince half the people on social media to only push good things, do you think that would make a difference? I think it would. I'll only do uplifting things. I think that would make a huge difference in society. But I can't convince half the population to do that. Okay, how about I convince you not to do that? Just you not to do that.

How about if you say, I'm not going to seek those things out? Because I believe this is poison. So I'm not going to do it. I'm going to hold myself back. Then you change and other people see it and go, wow, why are you so happy? Why are you so different? Why are your children different? because they're struggling with what you were struggling with.

You say, you know what, I stopped? We stopped social media in the house. And our whole life changed. We feel like we have more time. We're talking. We're doing these things. We're not all screwed up. We're not so depressed.

Then they say, oh my gosh, I'm going to do that. It all starts with one person. Most people are followers. They are. Most people are not thinking of these things so deeply. You listen to shows like this, because you are somebody who thinks deeply about things. You want to understand how they work.

You're a builder. You're not a follower. You're a builder. And when things make sense to you, you'll do it. If somebody can't make that case, you won't do it. That's a strength that you have. And you're in a big, huge group of people just like you. This week, I feel good about the country.

I feel like we actually have a shot. because somebody is articulating a plan that I am understanding now for the first time. And I don't think a lot of people do understand it yet. But I'm seeing that. I'm seeing the outline of this plan. And I think it's genius. And I'm like, I could be wrong on that plan. But I believe I'm not.

But I'm not sure. But I think that's genius. And by me saying that, you're going to push back on me and go, well, are you missing this, this and this? And then I'll have to do my homework on that. And my belief will either get weaker or stronger. And I'm hoping it gets stronger because I like feeling good about the country. All right, back in just a minute.

No, I didn't know this one. I'm sorry. I didn't. Well, I don't know if I agree with everything on the list. Like, we just got out of the 24-7 carbon-free energy compact. Who made that deal? What is that? I'm going to miss it.
