Justin Barclay fills in for Glenn Beck to expose alleged $9 billion fraud in Minnesota's social services, where Somali-run daycares allegedly operated without children while enriching groups like Al-Shabaab. The discussion highlights Mike Lindell's campaign against Governor Tim Walz, contrasts Florida's political shift with Chicago's chaos under Mayor Brandon Johnson, and critiques Kwanzaa's origins involving Ron Everett. Ultimately, the episode frames these scandals as evidence of a broader Democratic playbook involving identity politics, election integrity failures, and systemic government incompetence.

Minnesota Daycare Fraud Scandal00:17:45
The big one, in fact, is the Somali daycare fraud out of Minnesota.
It's a story so massive, what we're hearing and seeing now, just breaking over the weekend.
I believe just the tip of the iceberg.
When I get into it, break it off and let you know what we are expecting to see and what we're hearing already.
It's so big.
I'm just telling you, strap in.
It's not a one-off.
It's the blueprint and it's finally being exposed.
If you thought maybe it stops at Minnesota, you're not paying attention.
We'll get into it after this.

What do you guys think about the fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota?
I don't think anybody has enabled that to happen.
What was this money spent on?
$1.26 million.
What was that?
Answer the question.
Are there children?
There's no children inside this building.
Potentially the largest fraud scandal in U.S. history is taking place in Minnesota as literally billions of dollars have been funneled through Somali ran fraudulent businesses.
So much fraud, it could actually almost replace the entire GDP of Somalia.
These fraudsters have worked hand in hand with the Minnesota government as they enabled billions of dollars to be given to fraudulent businesses underneath welfare purposes.
Nick Shirley is his name, by the way.
The report gets full 40 some-odd minutes.
I highly recommend you go check out what he's got to say and the story that is, like I said, just a tip of the iceberg.
You're finding out millions upon millions upon millions, hundreds of millions of dollars, probably billions before it's all said and done with.
And it is taxpayer money that has been stolen and given out.
Sounds like Democrats in some sort of, I believe there's an election scam involved here, too.
You're going to learn a little bit more about that as well.
But it all works together.
And it's an NGO issue.
It's one that we've been seeing through the years now that is finally starting to see the light of day.
It only took a man with a camera.
I think he's in his 20s.
Nick is something else.
Vice President JD Vance saying, you know, this guy beats all anybody that's been honored for a Pulitzer in years.
I mean, the guy goes out, one man with a camera, essentially, and knocks on the doors.
All he had to do is go knock, knock on the doors of these daycare centers.
Nobody's home.
And yet they're being fed millions upon millions of dollars in order to, well, do something that you would think is noble, right?
Take care of kids.
That's the goal here.
But there's something much bigger happening.
And this, this isn't anything new.
Elon's been ringing the alarm on this for a while now, dodging the rest of the project.
This is back from the Cutter Economic Forum, Elon, talking about the track records of NGOs and how they've used kids to funnel this money essentially from your pocket into the pockets of those politicians, the folks that contribute to their campaigns, the corrupt and more.
Many times over with USID and other organizations, when they said, oh, well, this is going to help children or it's going to help some disease eradication or something like that.
I say, well, please connect us with this group of children so we can talk to them and understand more about their issue.
We get nothing.
Would they even try to come up with a show orphan?
This sort of like, well, can we at least see a few kids?
Listen, it's not a funny thing.
I'm just laughing because it's so ridiculous.
But he's right.
I mean, can we just love to help some people?
Can we at least just see a few kids?
That's what happened when they went knocking on the door of these daycare centers.
Nick Shirley and some folks with the camera, they saw that they'd knock, but nobody was home.
Now, this story, as I mentioned, the Somali daycare fraud out of Minnesota under Tim Wall's watch, Ilhan Omar and the rest, you're starting to see some things kind of come together here.
Hopefully you can start to see the pattern emerge.
But I'm going to tell you, this thing blowing up over the weekend is, like I just said, it's just the beginning.
It's not a one-off.
It's a warning flare.
These viral videos making arounds over the weekend all over social media, and I'm glad to see it.
Finally, we're starting to see some coverage on some of the mainstream.
In fact, one of the local, I think one of the local folks, maybe CBS did a story.
I don't know.
I've got to tell you, it's crickets for a lot of this stuff.
They don't want to admit it because this is, if you really want to pull the curtain back and see how the sausage is made, this is what they do.
This is how they've done it, like parasites sucking you dry in the country thus for years upon years.
I mean, this is the blueprint.
So Nick and another guy with a camera, one of the folks that kind of tipped him off to this, they pull up to the child care centers there in Minnesota and they go knocking on the doors.
And as you see in the video, nobody's home.
And they get met with some mad folks, too.
Some of this money eventually landed in the hands of terrorist groups in Somalia, like the Al-Shabaab, and others enriched themselves all at the U.S. taxpayers' expense.
And in this video, we will break down all of the fraud from start to finish from going to the fraudulent businesses and confronting the people who are making millions of dollars from the government.
And we will also be confronting the incompetent government leaders who let this fraud happen.
And to make this happen, I met up with a man who's been doing his own investigation for years now.
Again, this guy's a 20-year-old kid, a 20-year-old kid.
You're telling me, you're telling me that a 20-year-old kid, some odd-year-old kid can do this, but massive billion-dollar mega-media corporations with all kinds of resources and money, they can't get it done.
It's either incompetence or maybe they're involved.
I don't know.
Maybe they don't want you to know what's really happening there.
President Trump talking about Somalians and the fraud, the billions being ripped off.
Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars, billions.
Every year.
Billions of dollars.
And they contribute nothing.
The welfare is like 88%.
They contribute nothing.
I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you, okay?
Somebody would say, oh, that's not politically correct.
I don't care.
I don't want them in our country.
Their country is no good for a reason.
Their country stinks.
And we don't want them in our country.
I could say that about other countries, too.
The fraud is massive and on a level, like I said, they knock on these doors.
All of it kind of looks empty.
The lights off.
No kids, no activity.
And yet they're still pulling down big money, your money.
You know, some of the most, and maybe the worst, like, most insulting party, people are struggling, had been under Biden for years, trying to get things back by inflation and the cost of childcare.
The cost of childcare alone has been a big problem for many, many folks.
And yet you have places where money was supposed to go to help people, Somalians, not Americans.
You imagine that.
We're going to help Somalians, not Americans here.
They're doing this all over in different places.
Stay where I'm at.
By the way, I'm in Michigan, a snowy, white-covered Michigan today, and they're doing very similar things here.
They're doing it in states all across the country.
Democrats, this is the playbook.
They've got money for everyone else, but they don't have money for the people who need it most, apparently, and the people who would nine times out of ten probably be voting for them until they discover what's really going on behind the scenes.
Fraud is fraud.
Criminals should go to prison, and that's the point you can't ignore.
We can't just talk about this.
This isn't just, oh, well, let's hold some press conferences.
You know, let's shine the camera and the light spotlight on this and talk about it and be outraged.
We've got to see accountability.
This is not just one daycare.
It's a pattern across programs, across years.
And like I said, it's not just Minnesota.
It happens other places too.
I want to talk about this.
We're going to dig into it deep.
In fact, somebody running for governor in Minnesota, somebody who you'll know for his pillows, wants to be your governor if you're in Minnesota.
We'll talk to Mike Lindell a little bit later on in the program today, but I want to dig through to talk about why this is happening and more importantly, how you stop it from happening, how you cut this cancer out once and for all, because that's where the real, I think the real conversation needs to happen.
Cutting out the noise and getting really to the solution of it all.
Part of it, yes, is the awareness.
You're hearing about this now.
People are finding out about it.
You ought to be mad, right?
Yes, but we ought to also take action in the situation where we're in right now.
We've got to see investigations, but we need to see arrests.
We need to see these people held accountable.
We're not just talking about the fraudsters on the ground.
I'm talking about the politicians who enabled it, who allowed it to happen.
It happened right under their noses.
And then how do you make sure that this kind of thing never happens again?
That's the key to it all.
Again, Nick Shirley with the bombshell videos over the weekend that continue to get people excited talking about this story.
And I hope they don't stop.
I'm just telling you, I think it may be just the beginning.
I certainly know the story is just the beginning of what we're going to learn in states all across the country.
But it is a story that many are calling today.
In fact, Senator Ron Johnson calling it this the tip of the iceberg.
But folks, this is a story that needs to be shared loud and clear.
Let everyone get on the phone, tell somebody to listen today.
Well, first of all, we need to put all kinds of pressure on the state agencies to give us their records.
I'm chairman of the permanent subcommittee investigations.
This will be a primary focus of ours.
We're already reaching out to Nick Shirley and David and other people who can provide testimony for this, but we also need documents.
So, you know, these agency heads who funnel these the federal money to the state agencies, they have to demand that the state agencies are transparent.
And unfortunately, particularly in Democrat-controlled states, they're not.
They're refusing to turn over those records.
I've got subpoena power.
I will use that subpoena power to obtain these records because you have to get the bottom of this.
Understand, Somalis have just been in this country a few years.
They're amateurs when it comes to fleecing the federal government.
And let's face it, the federal government is probably the easiest consumer, the easiest payer to fleece, and states do it time and time again.
So this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Senator Ron Johnson.
Again, I wanted to get to, because it's going to be easy to point the finger at Somalis here.
But don't think that they came up with this scam on their own, folks.
That's not how this worked.
How do you stop it?
We'll talk about all of it next.
Quick break back after this.
Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.
Relief Actor loves hearing from pain-free customers and hopes that you will be their next person.
Bill wrote in and said, I have been crawling under sinks and working long hours for decades.
My back and my knees took the punishment.
And I thought my pain was just part of the trade, but Relief Factor surprised me.
Within weeks, I was working without wincing.
I could get down on the floor and get back up again without thinking twice.
Bill knows hard work.
He knows pipes, tools, long days on the job.
What he didn't know is how good life feels when pain stops tagging along.
It's Relief Factor.
Relief Factor didn't change Bill's trade.
It changed his tomorrow.
They've changed mine too.
And this is why I recommend you give Relief Factor a try today.
Relief Factor, 100% drug-free, targets the inflammation that causes pain so you can move better, feel better, and actually enjoy life again.

It's Justin.
And by the way, you catch up with me, JustinBarkley.com.
I'm at Mr.Justin Barkley on social media everywhere from Grand Rapids, Michigan today, filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
Love to hear from you too.
You can email me, justin atjustinbarkley.com.
Carol just did.
Thank you for checking in this morning.
I appreciate it.
The story's so big.
Again, we're just scratching the surface.
The Somali fraud, the Somali fraud is just being exposed in Minnesota, but it's not, this goes bigger than Somalis, folks.
This is a Democrat scam.
This is the blueprint they use with NGOs all across the board.
And it's what Doge tried to explain and explore and exploit expose, but they were kind of, you wonder why.
You wonder why.
I think now it's becoming more and more obvious.
Here he was.
I think this was over the weekend on Fox Shirley talking with the panel on the big weekend show.
Yeah, there better be change.
People are demanding it.
Investigations have been launched just from that video alone.
And so there better be change because, like I said, we work way too hard to be paying taxes.
We work way too hard to be not knowing where our money is going.
And at the end of the day, people in the government, they work for us.
We don't work for them.
And so it's their responsibility to hold these people accountable.
And so if there's not something that's happened, people are going to be very frustrated.
And so if President Trump's watching this, it's time to really get down to nitty-gritty and to make a difference in this place of Minnesota that is pretty much like Somaliland right now.
You know, we've seen that already start to take place.
We've seen that Kelly Loeffler with the Small Business Association has already started to take some of those as far as pulling back, clawing back some of the money.
So the Small Business Administration dropping the hammer on Somali fraud cuts off all of Minnesota because you just don't know where this starts and where it ends.
She's telling Betty Johnson that she is disgusted from a report on X here and sickened by the expose, small business fraud.
It's taking immediate action, SBA cutting off and calling back all SBA grants to Minnesota effective immediately.
Says this is due to Tim Walz and his refusal to enforce laws governing small businesses and the governor's allowance and facilitation of fraud.
Loeffler says the SBA was able to uncover half a billion dollars of fraud within days.
Let's think in half a billion dollars of fraud within days in Minnesota alone.
Fraud, Debt, and Accountability00:04:19
I'm beginning to think we wouldn't have all this debt.
We wouldn't have as much as we have.
And folks, we wouldn't be in debt if we didn't have all this fraud here in this country.
Imagine what your taxes would be.
Next to nothing.
She notes Trump administration will focus on the state officials who built an industrial-scale crime ring to rip off hardworking Americans.
The scope of this international scam is still unknown, likely billions pending further review.
And that piece that I played earlier for you from Nick, just part of it.
They shared that, and we've already known that some of this money has gone to terrorists overseas, back in Somalia, back home.
Imagine that.
we're funding with your taxpayer dollars this it's it's it's enough to you ought to be you ought to be upset about it each and every one of us So what do you do?
This is the find-out era.
So once we find out and things are exposed, you got to move forward.
There's got to be accountability.
These people have to be investigated.
They've got to be charged.
I want to see them in jail.
And I understand you're frustrated too.
This is, by the way, the system isn't broken.
This is exactly how this thing was set up to work.
And why?
Because when you got politicians who love nothing more to cut ribbons and go out and pat each other on the back and see what we did for the community here and there and the other, this is easy.
It's easy to throw around money, especially when it's not yours.
Well, it's not theirs.
It is yours.
And you have programs like this that have low barriers, minimal records requirements.
Of course, they're susceptible to fraud.
So what do you do?
What do you do?
You can't just give press conferences.
There has to be action.
So here's some of the things we ought to see, and we ought to ask the Trump administration moving forward in Congress to take action on.
But this is, this is just, what I'm telling you is just sort of barrier to entry.
We need prepayment verification on high-risk claims.
We need cross-checks, audits with teeth, public transparency.
And folks, probably the biggest prosecutions.
Prosecutions that don't just stop at small fish.
We need to follow the money all the way down the rabbit hole.
This is Glenn Beck.
We are only a few weeks into winter and already brutal cold, huge snowstorms, and of course, power outages.
Think about this.
If the power goes out when it's really cold, do you have a way to keep yourself and your family warm?
Winter power outages can even be life-threatening.
We learned this in Texas not too long ago.
That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off-grid heater from MyPatriot Supply.
It's a space heater.
It doesn't use electricity or propane.
It runs on something called canned heat, and it's an indoor safe fuel.
With Vesta, if you have it stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm, keep your kids warm no matter what.
And it even doubles as a stove to cook your food in case you have an electric cooktop.
The best part is right now, you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts when you order the winter survival kit from MyPatriot Supply.
Go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn, see everything that's included.
The offer is not going to last long, so go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn.

It really, like I said, it's been one of those wild weekends.
And again, it's like drinking from a firehouse.
I always say that for a dull minute.
We got another headline that broke over the weekend that's worth exploring.
Iran declares total war on America and Europe in huge World War III alerts.
Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.
You can email Justin at JustinBarklay.com, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y, Justin at JustinBarklay.com.
I'm all over all the social places at Mr. Justin Barklay.
But we wanted to reach out to someone who could maybe give us a little bit more insight into what's going on.
Obviously, Iran's been an issue.
They have been a problem, the government there for quite some time now.
The goal to get the nuclear weapons, you've seen President Trump and the strike, and obviously the moves that he's made recently.
Let's dig into this with us right now.
Ali Reyza Jefferseta is with us.
He's the deputy director of the U.S. Office of National Council of Resistance of Iran.
And we appreciate you taking the time to be here with us, the author of Iran Threat.
Sir, thank you for being here with us this morning and digging into this story.
It is a big one.
Thank you so much, Just.
I really appreciate the opportunity to be on your show.
So, you know, digging into this, it doesn't seem like this is the headline is new, right?
But to me, is there anything new about some of the sort of the extremist rhetoric and language coming out of the government there?
Well, just to put things in proper perspective, one has to understand the behavior of the Iranian regime when it comes to their external actions is part and parcel of their status inside the country.
This regime has survived over the past 40 plus years only through war and terrorism and nuclear development of nuclear weapons, firing missiles and drones.
And for a good reason, they're declared as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.
But at the same time, they are very repressive on their own population inside the country.
That's how they have survived and stayed in power.
The problem the regime is facing increasingly is that they have lost a grip on power inside the country.
A vast majority of the Iranian population are opposed to the regime and they want change.
They want to end the rule of the clerics because, you know, Iran is a very rich country with tremendous amounts of resources.
One of them is actually oil.
We have the second largest oil and gas reserves combined in the world.
Yet 80% of the Iranian population live below the poverty line.
People are rejecting the clerics who are very corrupt, very repressive, and use the resources of the country to pursue their own agenda, which is export of terrorism.
That's why the more the regime gets in trouble in order to hide their weakness and to deviate attention, they step up their rhetoric or their threat externally.
At the same time that they are threatening the United States and all the countries in the region, the rest of the world, at the same time, as we speak right now, this is the second day of major protests breaking out in Tehran.
Business people are shutting down their stores, the bazaar, which is the business sectors of the city, are shutting down because the Iranian currency has severely plunged and lost its value.
Today, the currency was 145,000 tumans for a dollar.
Just to give you a comparison, when the molas came to power, with only seven tumans, you could buy a dollar.
Now it takes 145,000 to buy one dollar.
That's how terrible things are.
And the currency is really plunging.
It's just an indication of the disastrous economic state that the country is facing.
And people feel that they need to end this.
And Ali Reza Jefferson with us right now.
He's a deputy director of the U.S. Office of the National Council of Resistance here in Iran.
And we got a little bit of an echo here on the other end of the line here.
So I just want to see if maybe we can fix or correct that here for folks listening.
So it makes it a little bit easier to hear.
Yeah, this is interesting because we hear and see certain things on the news in headlines that may paint a certain picture, but do they really give us the full details?
The breakdown of what you just talked about, the financial issues inside, the economic issues inside the country, what the will of the people actually involved there is.
And again, very different, it seems like, in a lot of ways from the extremist government.
Absolutely.
You know, the Iranian population are exactly diametrically opposite to what the mullahs, the clerics who rule the country, represent.
There is a very deep-rooted desire on the part of the Iranian population to have a free society that would not be Islamic extremist.
You know, over 98% of the Iranian population are Muslims, but the vast majority of them are vehemently opposed to Islamic extremism, how the mullahs are using, misusing religion to justify their fascist policies, their terrorist policies under the name of the religion.
And that's why people are fed up and have done with it.
You know, since December 2017, there have been several rounds of major uprisings in Iran, people asking for change.
And those uprisings were not just in one area of the country or just the capital.
It engulfed all 31 provinces of the country all over Iran.
And it's not limited to only intellectuals or certain sectors of the society.
Everyone is involved.
In fact, the most recent uprisings engulf the poor, the deprived, you know, those smaller towns and cities who used to be the bedrock of support for the regime.
And all of them have now turned against the regime.
So you have a regime that is extremely weak, is troubled, is rejected by its own people, but the only thing they have in their hand is their nuclear weapons program, their missile program, their proxies outside of Iran.
The good news is that a lot of those assets, so-called assets for the regime, are gone.
A lot of those proxy groups have been shattered, from Hezbollah in Lebanon to the Shia militias in Iraq to Houthis in Yemen.
Their biggest ally in the region, Assad in Syria, is gone.
And their nuclear weapons program, which we played a huge role in exposing them since 2002, has been shattered.
And that's why I think the world has to understand that this is a troubled regime that makes you know threat threatens the rest of the world.
But we need to understand this is not the same regime five years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago.
This is a regime that is so unstable, so weak.
And the world has the opportunity to side with the people of Iran to undermine their ruling regime and establish freedom and democracy in the country.
What needs to happen next?
I mean, we've seen the attack, obviously, the strike on the nuclear facilities there.
But what's the next piece of this?
Obviously, as people don't want to see war, obviously, that's one thing that Americans have made clear.
But at the end of the day, this regime, who seems, as you mentioned, is weakening, needs to be dealt with.
Definitely, Justin.
You know, Iran is not any other like other countries in the region.
Iran is not Iraq.
Iran has a very organized opposition force inside the country and also outside of Iran.
You know, almost all of the major nuclear sites of Iran were exposed by the main Iranian opposition, the Parliament in Exile, the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
That has a clear platform both for the overthrow of the regime, but also for the transition after the fall of the Ayatollahs.
This movement is headed by a woman, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi.
She's headquartered in Paris, but she has gained tremendous support both inside Iran but also outside of Iran.
She has introduced a 10-point platform for the future of Iran that says ballot box is the only criteria for legitimacy in the future of Iran.
She has called for the separation of religion and state, for freedom of religion, equality for men and women, free market economy, a non-nuclear republic form of government in Iran, supporting peace in the Middle East.
These are the things that are the desire of the people of Iran.
Now, unfortunately, over the past three, four decades, the outside world, you know, Europe and mostly in the United States, they were just interested in reaching out to the regime, finding a way of cutting a deal with the Ayatollahs, searching for so-called moderate elements within the regime that actually, at the end of the day, help the regime survive.
That era is over.
I think it's the opportunity for the outside world, short of war or appeasement, to be able to side with the organized resistance in Iran, recognize the reality that this is the Iranian people reject this regime.
They want change.
We have a lot of support on the hill.
In the House, there's a resolution, Resolution 166, that has the support of bipartisan support of over 227 House members.
A similar resolution is also in the Senate, which has a significant bipartisan support.
That they're saying that, you know, U.S. and Europe, everybody needs to stand on the side of the people.
There's no need for boots on the ground or appropriation of money.
That's the change we need to see.
And the prospect for change has never been so bright.
Ali Reza, Jeff Rosena, the latest on this story out of Iran.
And of course, the deputy director there, U.S. Office of National Council Resistance of Iran.
Thanks for shining a light on it and continue to pray for the folks there, obviously under the thumb of that extremist regime and continue to pray for peace and, of course, prosperity eventually in that region.
New York Exodus to Florida00:15:38
Thank you so much.
We really appreciate you taking the time to be here with us today.
Thank you so much, Justin.
Always a pleasure.
And again, Happy New Year.
And I'm very hopeful that the new year, 2026, would be a totally different prospect for both the people of Iran, but everybody else in the region and the world.
Think about it, Justin, a free Iran, a democratic Iran, a non-nuclear, non-belligerent Iran.
What a difference it will make, not just for the people of Iran, but for the whole world.
Yeah, you got it.
Appreciate it.
Thank you, sir.
And, you know, as we talk about some of those major moves towards peace, President Trump has made in the last year, he's working on one this weekend.
Ukraine and Russia.
We have the latest from that.
We'll dig into it after this.
Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.
The rope may break, but the ride goes on.
This is Glenn Beck.
The older I get, the more I think about trust.
I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.
I know we're alike in that way.
We don't trust a lot of people anymore.
It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.
I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly.
And that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.
I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.

Hey, Justin, and for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.
Email coming in from Aaron.
Thank you for your email.
Stop talking about Minnesota.
No one's going to jail.
You're wasting time and breath.
This, and I will warn against it, and thank you for the email.
If you want to email me, Justin at Justin Barkley, B-A-R-C-LA-Y.
Justin at JustinBarkley.com.
Love hearing from you.
But that's called the black pill.
Sky is falling, chicken little.
I got to warn against it.
You got to be careful because this type of philosophy or idea will make you think I just sit on my hands, do nothing, get my popcorn, watch, and then just wait.
You know, because the plan, you know, got to follow and trust the plan.
Something's going to happen.
I don't have to do anything or the vice versa.
It's really, you can't do anything.
And folks, that's what the enemy wants you to think.
We wrestling out against flesh and blood.
We know that about the fight that we're in right now.
It is good and evil.
We've got to be active.
We've got to be involved.
So the story about Minnesota isn't just about Minnesota, and we do need to see arrests.
In fact, we are seeing some movement, probably not as much as you want to see.
I share your frustration and a lot of that.
But I would encourage you to stay in the fight.
It does matter.
Over the weekend, President Trump asked about the question, how things are looking in Ukraine and Russia.
Ukraine security guarantees.
What number are we at right now?
Well, I think we're, look, you know, you can say 95%, but I don't like to say percentages.
I just think we're doing very well.
We're very, we could be very close.
There are one or two very thorny issues, very tough issues, but I think we're doing very well.
We've made a lot of progress today, but really we've made it over the last month.
This is not a one-day process deal.
It's very complicated stuff.
But I think when the president says 95, I think, you know, it could be close to 95%.
Darius at Mar-a-Lago with the meeting.
And of course, Zelensky.
One kind of funny moment in all of it, by the way, that's very similar to what we've heard in the past coming out.
But another funny moment is the press is there.
They're all sitting in the dining room and they're about to have probably lunch.
And he's asking the press if they'd like some food.
Listen to this.
Are you okay?
Is everyone fine?
Margo, if you would.
I think you could sit outside and have some food.
Would you like to have some food?
Or do you consider that a bribe?
And therefore, you cannot write honestly.
Therefore, you have to write a bad story.
Because if you'd like, would you like something to eat at this time?
Yes or no?
You can speak.
Yes, okay.
Margo, take him outside.
Tell the chef.
Serve him a little unchicked.
The chef's going to serve him something nice for Marlaga.
Then he goes on and tells Zelensky, you know, they're still going to write a bad story about me anyway.
This is Glenn Beck.
Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Yeah, it is.
It is a sad scenario what's happening in New York City right now.
Somebody might die because of this, in fact.
Oh, and we're also watching shenanigans happen in Chicago.
It's these blue, Democrat, lefty cities where things continue to spiral out of control.
The latest, in fact, Elon says because of this, people will die out of New York City.
We'll bring you the latest and the stories you won't want to miss this hour.
Justin Barkley, and for Glenn today, the Glenn Beck Program, full speed ahead.
Relief Factor loves hearing from pain-free customers and hopes that you're going to be the next that writes in.
Kim wrote in and said, Before trying Relief Factor, Glenn, I struggled just to make it through my workdays.
I'd collapse on the couch at night, aching everywhere.
Within a few weeks of starting Relief Factor, that daily pain began to fade.
Now I'm keeping up at work.
I still have energy left for my family.
My life has changed.
Kim's is the story of thousands of kitchens and office desks and factory floors.
The story of parents having more love to give because they have strength to share it.
Relief Factor doesn't just ease pain, it restores your evening, your laughter, and the simple joy of just being present.
Relief Factor has given me a big part of my life back, whether in the cold and elevation of our ranch or walks along the beaches with my wife in Florida.
Relief Factor is 100% drug-free and targets the inflammation that causes pain so you can move better and feel better and actually enjoy life again.
Try their three-week quick start, 1995.
Go to ReliefFactor.com-1-800-4 Relief.
1-800-4-RELIEF and see if you're not the next to get out of pain.
People are going to die.
That's what Elon says.
Well, it's happened before.
This isn't the first time that things like this, unfortunately, part of that find-out era that we're in.
You fool around, you do find out.
These types of things have consequences.
We've seen it with DEI and several other issues before.
This person with no experience as a firefighter has just been named the head of the, and you'll find out why here in just a moment, the head of the fire department there in New York City, the commissioner.
Noor is a career first responder.
In just nine days, she'll be running the world's busiest fire department, one of the most important appointments of the incoming administration.
It's just a glowing report here, by the way.
They deserve a leader who cares about their work because she did it herself, who understands every detail, and who will fight tirelessly to empower FDNY and make it the best firefighting force in the world.
Lillian Bonsignor began her career as an EMT in 1991 and was ultimately promoted to chief of the city's EMS division, where she served for three years before retiring in 2022.
Although she never served as a firefighter, she's confident that won't matter.
I know the job.
I know what the firefighters need, and I can translate that to this administration who's willing to listen.
I know what EMS needs.
I have been EMS for 30 plus years.
Monsignor is a trailblazer for the LGBTQ community who will serve as the FDNY's first openly gay commissioner.
She's a highly respected, detail-oriented manager whose style has been compared to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who will remain in her post in the new administration.
For these people, Zoron and the left, and the rest of them, you know, identity politics, the DEI stuff is, well, it's the biggest issue for them.
Getting the job done, being fully able to get the job done, is a second place.
Well, maybe even last place.
It takes a back seat in that fire truck, unfortunately.
Scott Singer is here with us right now.
He's the mayor of Boca Raton and probably seeing a lot of folks fleeing New York to the free state of Florida, where I'm sure he's welcoming with open arms.
With some conditions, I'm sure Dumb.
Don't bring any of the voting for the leftist policies our way, he might say.
He's also announced to run for Congress.
Mayor, we appreciate you being here with us today.
Thanks for having me.
Delighted to be here.
You know, this is one of the reasons, but so many people have talked about the fleeing that's happening from New York City.
Just one of the many reasons.
Electing somebody like Zorhan Mamdani, you know, communist, but obviously extreme in a lot of other ways, got people really concerned and quite frankly, freeing because they're afraid for their lives.
Yes, and we've been seeing people flee New York and their high taxes, high regulations for decades.
I stepped up after COVID.
Boca Raton was the beneficiary of a lot of job creators and innovators moving corporate headquarters here.
We now have nearly 40, we have more than 40 publicly traded corporate headquarters in our cities.
And in June, after Momdani won the primary, we actually had targeted advertising trying to grow our job base here.
Boca Raton is a successful city, 100,000 people.
We can't accommodate everyone who's going to want to flee New York and more are going to want to leave, but we are trying to focus on the job creators and innovators, and that's helped us maintain a strong corporate presence and the lowest property tax rate of any full-service city in Florida.
Scott Singer with us right now, the current mayor there of Boca Raton, and he is also chair of America First Policy Institute's Mayor's Council, just announcing his run for Congress there to unseat the Democrat in his district here at Moscow.
So let me ask you, because I want to talk about your run too, but as a mayor and part of the council there, what are you seeing this administration and the ability to work?
Because there's a massive difference.
In fact, I got a story today here coming up just a little bit.
It's kind of funny, but you think about it, it's downright disturbing.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson doubling down what's the name, a taxpayer-funded snowplow, abolish ICE.
Now, he's got to do cute little stunts like this.
At the same time, they've got folks getting murdered right and left in what they call Chirac these days.
It's just a shame that this type of stunt would be something that he'd take more time and interest in doing.
At the same time, we've got mayors who care about their cities.
They're working with the administration.
You know, if these guys did, maybe they welcome in ICE and didn't take the sanctuary policy.
They'd see a lot better response.
Well, I don't think there's anything cute about it.
That's why I'm honored to work with nearly 50 mayors across the country who are focused on trying to get common sense solutions implemented at the city level and work better with the administration to advance an America-first agenda.
Let's talk about immigration.
President Trump shut down the border miraculously compared to what people said was not possible.
He did be possible.
And our streets are safer as a result.
And I have mayors on my council who have been able to partner effectively with the help from the Trump administration to drive out trained al Wagra, trained al Ragra gang members from their cities.
And these are not massive cities.
These are smaller cities.
That cooperation with the federal government to enhance policies that make streets safer is what we're about.
It's about common sense solutions.
And it's part of the reason why I'm inspired to run for Congress, because we need people focused on doing things, not just grabbing headlines, not being obstructionists, not trying to shut down the government over extreme ideas like funding health care for people who don't need it when Americans don't have it.
These are just some of the things that we need to take back our country.
I'm inspired by so many things that have been accomplished by this first year of the Trump administration, but we need other people who are going to advance this agenda beyond the executive orders, enact policies that are going to keep us safe, lower costs, bring jobs home, and do all the other great things that are going on right now.
You know, I got to ask you, too, as we talk with the mayor of Boca Raton, who's running for Congress, Scott Singer, with us right now.
Momdani will be sworn in later this week.
I think Bernie Sanders, part of that whole ceremony, which just makes you, I think, emphasize even more the sort of the clownish nature of it all.
But the circus continues.
You've been front row for some of the things that are happening, obviously, in New York City, the things that you're hearing people as they want to leave that area.
Chicago's another place.
We're also hearing now in Minneapolis and Minnesota, some of the things that are happening in that city.
And this weekend, massive news breaking about the fraud that's happening there.
And these folks, it's not just happening because they ignore it.
It looks like they're a part of this.
This is a whole nother piece of what's being exposed that seems like it's straight out of the Democrat playbook and the blueprint for how to sell out America.
It's heartbreaking to see the massive amounts of fraud and how deep this is going.
And I even think back to what in Florida, when I had to take my kids to pre-K through, you know, the organization, I paid for it, but the organization got funding from the state.
Ford Fraud and the Democrat Playbook00:11:46
You had to sign in each student in a blue pen.
So to see reports of, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars going to entities that have no students is staggering.
And it is a part about what are we really focused on?
Are we focused on what's best for the American people?
Are we focused on a long-term plan to try to sway votes by allowing more immigration and then convincing people to vote for one party?
That's not what we're about.
It is concerning.
Going back to what you said at the beginning, yes, we welcome people who have the right mindset in Florida.
That's why.
But people are coming here.
They're voting for better policies, and they're voting on the right way.
We've gained 1.7 million more Republicans over the last seven years net over other parties.
And it's helped turn this state from a purple state to a red state.
And part of the reason that I hope to earn a lot of those votes coming in the August primary and November election.
Like I said, Scott's running for Congress.
One of those big, I think it's going to be a big push here, obviously, in 2026 to make sure that President Trump continues with the ability to have that path and has Congress to help.
You know, if Democrats take control of the House, they've already said they're going to impeach him.
They've already talked about some of the things that complete deadlock in a roadblock with all the policies and the things that he's ready.
He's already been able to get done.
I mean, all of that's going to come to a screeching halt and we're going to have chaos again.
And if they get control, it's going to be a nightmare.
I don't think folks understand how bad it's going to be.
And it's why it's important folks like you are able to win and help enlarge that majority.
Well, I appreciate that.
And I think you're exactly right.
You know, the Democrats have made clear about what their objectives are.
It's not about new policy over the next two years.
It's impeach Trump, which won't go anywhere and just gets us in deadlock.
We saw this with a 43-day shutdown that accomplished very little.
And we have more threats of shutdowns.
If we really care about democracy, then you have to give some deference to the party that actually won.
But in 2026, we're going to be on the ballot again.
And I think it's so important that people turn out.
We can't take our foot off the gas.
We need to move full speed ahead.
President Trump has done amazing things already for our economy.
The one big beautiful bill will be transformative, and we're going to see major impacts.
No taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime.
We've become the party of the middle class.
And I want people to understand that.
And I think they are.
But it's important that we turn out the vote.
And I hope people will be voting for me.
You can find out where and how at scottsingerusa.com, my website.
We're going to put more information as we get closer there.
But we want people involved now.
We have a moment in our history where we can continue gains or we can backslide.
We can go back to the four years of Biden inflation, four years of unsecured borders, and we can't allow that to happen.
We need to get everything we can to keep our country moving forward, improve our defense, improve our economy.
And that's why I'm excited to go try to do all I can to make us get on the right side of things.
Scott Singer is the mayor of Boca Recton in Florida, obviously running for Congress as well.
The website, ScottSingerUSA.com.
Scott, can you, I have another question, but it's completely unrelated to what we're talking about.
I'm just so curious.
I have to ask.
Can you hang on for a moment?
We take a quick break.
Absolutely.
Back right after this on the Glenn Beck program.
Don't go anywhere, 60 seconds.
The older I get, the more I think about trust.
I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.
I know we're alike in that way.
We don't trust a lot of people anymore.
It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.
I find it a little exhausting.
quite honestly, and that's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.
I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes.
So we built Real Estate Agents I Trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with that we have verified that they will help you have the most successful and good real estate transaction possible.

name says it all realestateagentsitrust.com i i just couldn't leave this My apologies.
I don't know if you're trying to talk about this.
This is okay.
You don't have to answer.
Scott Singer, the mayor of Boca Raton, and running for Congress, we talked about a number of things this morning, but I just was looking at your information here.
Were you really a Jeopardy champion?
Yes, I was.
It was a fun thrill of a lifetime to be able to go on a show that I watched my whole life.
It was on about 12 years ago.
Wow.
And a great experience.
Was that when Alex was hosting?
It was when Alex was hosting, yes.
And actually, in Law School, I had the chance to be on Who Wants to be a Millionaire with Meredith VR2.
So made more from game shows than I did my first four years of public service as a councilman.
But obviously, this is not a career you go into because for the money, you go into it because you love serving.
Yeah.
Oh, I can imagine.
What was that like to be on Jeopardy and to be a champion?
I had to admit it.
Quite the experience.
Quite a thrill.
You know, it's fun to actually play for real, the game you watch at home when, you know, everyone watches at home and do you know the answer in time?
Well, you're competing with two other great contestants who you almost all know all the answers to all the questions.
It's just a matter of whether you can ring in first.
You got to be quick on that buzzer, huh?
I mean, that's got to be it, huh?
It is about being quick on the buzzer, but it's helped me in public life.
You know, when I've had town halls, get questions on all sorts of things.
When I'm interviewing with you, you get questions from different directions.
You got to be ready to respond and think about the question a little differently.
That's incredible.
So you were a champion.
How much did you end up taking home from that?
From Jeopardy, $42,000.
That's good.
That's a good haul.
Man, that's incredible to make it on a show like that and actually be able to do it.
Well, I'm sorry.
I had to ask.
I saw that here and I thought, is there any game show that you'd like to go on that you haven't been on yet?
I think my days are over.
Jeopardy was what I watched as a kid, and it was a real thrill to be able to go on that.
And Who Wants to Be a Millionaire happened by luck when I was in law school.
I just happened to see that they were looking for contestants and went over the next day and they picked me.
I think I'm done in my game show career, plus they don't really have candidates there.
But now, you know, I'm focused on what I can do to improve our nation.
I feel like this is a critical time, and that's why I'm stepping up.
I had no plans to, this is not something I planned out.
I got involved in my local community to improve our job base here.
And frankly, with the terrible policies that you're going to see in New York, we have a great opportunity to really accelerate that because I want to create more jobs for my kids and for other people's kids.
But nationwide, I think we have an opportunity to bring back American manufacturing, restore our job base, make sure we have better employment opportunities for everyone, and so much more.
And again, inspired by what's happened last year and understand that we're at a critical juncture.
And that's why I hope people will turn out to vote because we can't lose the enthusiasm.
We can't go backwards to an economy that drags, borders that are porous, and American defense and national security weak.
That's why he's a Jeopardy champ, folks.
Scott, thank you so much for taking the time to be here with us today, Mayor.
I really appreciate it.
Well, thank you.
You got it.
Mayor Scott Singer, Boca Raton, and I had to, I'm sorry, I had to ask that.
I just looked down at my notes.
I thought, I didn't realize he was a champ, Jeopardy champ, and he was on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
So I had to ask about that.
But another one of those candidates, you're going to hear more and more of some of these folks, obviously, running for Congress, but also maybe in the next day or so, we can talk with some of these folks running for Senate.
There are 10, I saw released today, there are 10 seats, at least that are critical when it comes to the Senate story that came out the other day.
We'll dig into that probably.
I'll be back with you tomorrow and maybe even get a chance to talk with somebody in one of those very critical races.
2026, 24 was about obviously getting President Trump back into office and a miracle that really had to take place to get him there.
But your next question is, okay, now that we've gotten there, how do we continue to not only see, you know, because we're just beginning to start to say, look, we can talk about it till we're blown the face.
They'll, you know, and I think a lot of this, we need to, but they'll tell you that things aren't changing.
They'll tell you that things aren't working.
But I just disagree with that.
I paid $254 a gallon.
Now, I'm in Michigan.
$2.54 a gallon for gas the other day.
That's unheard of.
We've been paying upwards $320, $350, who knows for the last four years, Joe Biden.
And every one of these folks on the left is, you know, there are a lot of these people that had their medical degrees over the last four or five years.
You probably remember hearing from those folks online.
Well, they've all got their degrees now, apparently in gas and oil.
And they all come out saying the same thing.
They all come out and say, well, the president doesn't control the price of gas.
And I find this to be incredible.
So Ford, which story I'm following closely here because I'm in Michigan.
But Ford just announced they got billions upon billions of dollars.
They're throwing away because of the unpopularity, I guess probably the best way to put it, of the Ford Lightning, which is the F-150, the electric F-150.
And I know we're talking about billions of dollars of money that they're just, they've flushed down the drain.
Now they're backing out of it because they say, well, the market didn't bear it out.
Well, it was policy changes.
President Trump comes in and says, we're not going to do this green new scam thing again.
We're done with it.
The green pipe dream, we're done with it.
We're going to get rid of it.
And we're not going down this road anymore.
And they're forced to because the policies in real life had teeth.
They actually bared out.
And that is the same when it comes to oil and gas, the policies of the president and how he has said, we're not going down this electric vehicle road again.
We're done.
We're putting the brakes on this.
How dare you?
Yeah, Chicran is not happy either.
But you're telling me that Ford will switch gears.
In fact, will a U-turn, billions of dollars.
President can impact that industry and his policies do, but they don't impact the price of gas at your pump.
That's just incredible.
Ridiculous.
Peak insanity.
More truth, logic, and common sense coming up next on the Glenn Beck program.
Just get in for weather.
We are only a few weeks from the past.
This is Glenn.
Huge snowstorms, and of course, power outages.
Think about this.
If the power goes out, when it's really cold, do you have a way to keep yourself and your family warm?
Winter power outages can even be life-threatening.
We learned this in Texas not too long ago.
Vulnerable Patients and Fraud00:09:47
That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off-grid heater from MyPatriot Supply.
It's a space heater.
It doesn't use electricity or propane.
It runs on something called canned heat, and it's an indoor safe fuel.
With Vesta, if you have it stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm, keep your kids warm no matter what.
And it even doubles as a stove to cook your food in case you have an electric cooktop.
The best part is right now, you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts when you order the winter survival kit from MyPatriot Supply.

It's not just many Minnesota, by the way, many Samoa.
It's not just Minnesota where the fraud is happening.
I'm talking about this morning, but Scott, or excuse me, Nick Shirley and the expose, he's done a kid with a camera, has done more to expose the truth about what's happening and the scam Democrats and, of course, those folks in Minnesota are doing with this daycare fraud.
It's not, I told you, it's not just, in fact, you're going to see other states.
These stories will begin to become more and more prevalent.
You're going to hear more and more about it.
Ohio attorney is talking about it in this video, I think, for Bright Party, confirming massive fraud in another situation, the hotbed for Somalis.
This is Ohio.
They run a fake, quote, home health service and bill $250,000 per year per family when no one and no one's working.
Nothing's actually being done.
Also happens in Pennsylvania.
And I think you're going to start seeing more on these stories in the days ahead.
But here's a little bit of the coverage on this from this attorney.
So these individuals tried to report the fraud that was happening in Ohio and then eventually came to me to say that we're watching providers rubber stamp paperwork for home health.
So in Ohio, and there's many states like this, Pennsylvania and other states too, where you can go in and you can say my aging parent needs a home health care and I want to provide it.
So the state will, as long as a doctor has approved it, continue to pay you.
It could be for 10 hours, 12 hours, up to 24 when it's critical care.
So you could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn't need it, make about $75,000 to $90,000 a year.
Now you add two parents, that's $180,000.
Now you add your in-laws, $250,000.
You continue to add this and you wonder what are the services being provided.
Where do I sign up?
That's the other.
Where do I sign up for this?
So a lot of providers came and said fraud is occurring because we said we weren't going to rubber stamp this paperwork.
So they went to other providers, their home health care networks saying we'll make it worth your while.
Well, sounds like a kickback to me.
So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it's increased since the Somalian population came and who really needs critical care because that's meant for our disabled, our elderly, and people who really need it, not to just live off our system.
And that's what's happening in Ohio.
I think it's ridiculous.
I think it's despicable.
But authorities are now looking at it from the Attorney General's office to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
I flagged them all because this is Ohio tax dollars and we have to take it seriously.
I'm tired of people telling me, well, this is the way it's always been.
It's subjective and we can't really check.
No, you can.
Audit America, Audit Ohio now.
And I'm pushing for that in every single state.
You know, it's a really good point.
And one that she makes here.
This, this, when these things happen, it's you got a couple of victims.
Not only are we as taxpayers victimized by this corruption, but we're also seeing that happen with the people who need it most.
This all came out with the food stamps, the snap, and all that.
You talk about you're putting the most vulnerable.
You're putting the most vulnerable amongst us at risk.
These people may not get the help and the care that they need because you got people gaming the system.
Because you've got people that are out there trying to in corruption, trying to just suck us dry all of this money.
Now, I think this might be a local news report out of Minnesota.
If so, this might be the first I've seen.
They're finally starting to cover it.
I started by visiting Quality Learning Center Daycare.
So it is that 14B, which sits right in the heart of downtown Minneapolis.
Between 2019 and 2020.
By the way, it's a busted up door/slash window with a board over the top and graffiti on it.
Looks quality to me.
2023, the Minnesota Department of Human Services found 95 violations at this location.
They range from failure to keep hazardous items away from children to no records for 16 children, which include things like immunizations, emergency contacts, and medical needs.
So state investigators placed Quality Learning Center on a conditional license in 2022.
I went to the daycares location several times and only once did I see people there.
Oh, that's your daycare.
But I did not see any children.
80 kids in the room?
No, not.
No, not.
No, no.
After school?
Okay, gotcha.
All right, thank you.
DHS declined, but in a statement, acknowledged Quality Learning Center was put on a conditional license because of its poor safety record.
But it's still received nearly $8 million in taxpayers' money since 2019.
That's incredible.
That is incredible.
It looks like this is Eyewitness News 5 ABC who did this report.
I just the tip of the iceberg.
We've been talking about this throughout the show, and I guarantee you're going to hear more and more about this.
It's just another one of these stories that you're finally starting to bloop the blueprint, starting to see it come to light here.
This is how they've gotten away with it for years.
They've gotten away with this for years.
And the NGO, the whole game is starting the shell game, starting to crumble.
And good.
And good.
Justin at JustinBarkley.com is my email.
You can shoot me.
What I'd love to hear from you during the program today.
Fill in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
Justin atjustinbarkley.com is the email.
Well, what else is happening in some of these Democrat blue cities?
I mentioned when we talked to Mayor Boca Raton earlier about some of the really bad things.
Mountain Donnie and the DEI hires there and some of the really bad things that are coming for New Yorkers.
Things are already happening.
I think his approval rating is in the single digits.
The Mayor of Chicago, Chirac, as they call it, Mayor Brandon Johnson.
A cute stunt wants to name a taxpayer-funded snowplow, abolish ice.
He wants to put that on, I guess, on the signage for the snowplow.
Meanwhile, how many people were murdered over the Christmas weekend alone?
In fact, every weekend.
This isn't every, unfortunately, everyday thing in places like Chirac.
Quote, abolish ice.
It's funny and it's clever.
What are citizens saying both about naming the plow and about ICE's actions in the city?
Reverend Al Sharpton.
Well, you know, you know, Robert Al, you know, from the very beginning of this administration, I made a commitment to ensure that we protect working people.
But really, you know, this was really about protecting our democracy and, you know, when putting a sticker on a snowplow.
Oh, yeah.
That's the resistance right there, buddy.
The Trump administration moved on, you know, the big nasty bill.
Now, I don't know if enough people actually realize this, but the amount of money that the ICE division of our government has received as a result of this administration is quite significant.
In fact, there are only two other entities that have a larger budget than ICE.
It's the United States military and it's China's military.
And he has used it as a privatized force to enact terror.
So this is the problem.
Law enforcement is the problem.
Enforcing the law is the problem, not the criminals.
That's where they get all of this backwards.
Real People vs. ICE Budget00:03:32
By the way, this guy knows.
He's got folks, black, Hispanic, et cetera, showing up at these city council meetings, absolutely just enraged with the fact that he won't allow President Trump to come in and do the things that need to be done to restore law and order and peace in the city of Chicago.
What's he doing?
He's naming a plow truck.
Abolish ICE.
I mean, I just, you can't make this stuff up.
At the same time, at least 28 people shot, I think six killed.
Was that Christmas the last few days alone in Chicago?
I believe that's the head.
Let me fact check that and I'll get back.
It sounds about right, but let me fact check it and I'll get back to you on that.
It's insane to see what is happening with the folks in some of these leftist cities.
Folks, we'll get to that coming up in just a moment.
Take a quick break.
It's Justin Barkley.
We're back for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.
Teach your kids right.
Shoot.
You know schools won't do it for you.
This is Glenn Beck.

Here we have found that while the mayor of Chicago is busy putting stickers on snow plows, they ought to make people feel safer.
Stickers that say abolish ICE.
the mayor's town is being inundated by real violence.
At least 28 shot, that was the number we got, Chicago Sun-Times since the start of the holiday stretch, Wednesday, December 24th through the 28th, Chicago Sun-Times.
28 shot six dead.
So the mayor and his cute little stunt, unfortunately, backfiring in a big way for folks there in Chicago.
Neighbors Demonized by Somali Fraud Scam00:04:20
And it's, you hate to see it because every one of those numbers, you're talking about real people.
No matter what, what they do or what they say, we're talking about real people.
And this, this, it's so unnecessary.
It's so needless.
I mean, it's obvious.
It's clear what needs to be done here.
And anybody with a couple of brain cells would tell you.
That's what we're watching.
It's all part of the scam.
Elon puts it this way, by the way.
So there's just a trans amount of money being sent to non-governmental organizations.
But actually, this, by the way, is, I think, one of the biggest sources of fraud in the world is government-funded non-governmental organizations.
This is a gigantic fraud loophole where the government can give money to an NGO and then there are no controls over that NGO.
So your money just, you basically, well, it's flying away in the wind.
That's the best way I can put it, without saying things that I can't say it on the air here.
Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.
We continue by, this is an old video, but it's worth showing Tim Walz doubling down on bringing that.
Now we know why he's so end up bringing the Somalis in.
Governor Walsh, what can you say about the latest on the Somali fraud that happened under your watch?
Governor, have you been able to apologize yet to the people of Minnesota for allowing this Somali fraud to continue under your watch?
Is it time to apologize?
How about the whistleblowers that you have allegedly retaliated against?
Would you like to respond to the whistleblowers?
And right now, our neighbors are being demonized.
Our neighbors are being terrorized.
Our neighbors are being picked up off the street.
The antidote to that is positive actions to improve lives that go against what they're trying to do.
So instead of demonizing our Somali community, we're going to do more to welcome more in and welcome people back.
This is going to come in, Corporate.
We're going to do it with more money.
We are going to suck more money out of the taxpayers of this great country.
That's essentially what Tim Walz wants to do.
And I think it's Frontlines, a TPUSA thing that they put out there.
Now this piece is starting to come together.
I don't think it's ever been more obvious why they're doing it and exactly what they're doing.
By the way, a guest coming up next hour talk about this in his home state of Minnesota as he gears up for a run.
A run for governor.
We'll talk with Mike Lindell on the way.
And I'm sure he'll have a thing or two to say about this and maybe even how it ties into the election issues.
Now, have you seen Ilhan Omar?
She refuses to talk about it.
She doesn't want to say.
Apparently, her husband's firm, $30 million, quietly scrubbing names from the website as the squad member faces mounting questions on sudden wealth.
I wonder what happened.
How did she suddenly get so wealthy?
How did that possibly happen?
I can't imagine.
Any idea?
No, no.
It's just absolutely baffling to me.
How did her and her husband get so wealthy there?
Now, when I say husband, I don't mean her brother.
That's the other one.
This is the new one, I think.
I know, it's so confusing.
All of this is just so confusing.
You know, you got to put the pieces together here.
And it's hard to keep up with on some of this.
But her husband's venture capital firm quietly scrubbing key officer details, including former Obama officials as scrutiny grows.
The New York Post writes over the family's skyrocketing wealth.
The Post has learned.
Scams, Guns, and Dark Shadows00:14:53
Omar went from being nearly broke to worth up to $30 million in just a year.
Well, I'm sure that was just luck.
You know, a massive up to $9 billion fraud scheme involving the Somali community in her district unfolding right under her nose.
Nothing to see here, folks.
Nothing to see here.
Sparkly Infra Beck today.
We continue back with Mike Lindell after this on the Glenn Beck Program.
Glenn Beck.
Down the road where shadows hide, till the dark on every side.
Stand your ground when times get dark.
Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
The fraud is at levels maybe never really uncovered a scene before, yet I believe it's happening in more and more places.
The story, Nick, surely just uncovered over the weekend in Minnesota.
All of these fraudulent daycare situations, getting millions upon millions of dollars, taxpayer money, and there are no kids.
When they go knock on the door, there's nobody to be found.
It's the latest scam, and I wonder if it ties in to elections as well.
He's running for governor in the state of Minnesota.
We'll talk with our good friend Mike Lindell.
Once the pillow guy now wants to be your governor.
From my pillow to my governor.
That'd be a heck of a change.
We'll talk to him right after this.
Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.
We are only a few weeks into winter and already brutal cold, huge snowstorms, and of course power outages.
Think about this.
If the power goes out when it's really cold, do you have a way to keep yourself and your family warm?
Winter power outages can even be life-threatening.
We learned this in Texas not too long ago.
That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off-grid heater from MyPatriot Supply.
It's a space heater.
It doesn't use electricity or propane.
It runs on something called canned heat, and it's an indoor safe fuel.
With Vesta, if you have it stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm, keep your kids warm no matter what.
And it even doubles as a stove to cook your food in case you have an electric cooktop.
The best part is right now, you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts when you order the winter survival kit from MyPatriot Supply.
Go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn, see everything that's included.
The offer is not going to last long, so go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn.
MyPatriotSupply.com slash Glenn.
From my pillow to my governor.
I think it has a nice ring to it.
Mike Lindell joining us now on the Glenn Beck program.
Justin and for Glenn today.
Mike, welcome in.
Appreciate you being here with us.
Well, thanks for having me on.
Hey, it's a heck of a day to have you on.
Wanted to talk to you about your run for governor, and we got this massive story breaking over the weekend from Nick Shirley and the governor's there, Tim Walz, trying to hide from it.
But there's massive amounts of fraud, millions upon millions of dollars, at least it appears, for daycare centers that are empty.
Here in your child care?
Which jacket man is Minnesota child care right here?
It's from the state of Minnesota's website.
We're just wondering where the children are.
Yeah, where are the children?
It says you have 102 children here and you got 2.66 million dollars this year in funding and 2.5 million last year.
We're just wondering where the kids are.
This is incredible.
Eventually, the woman that closes the door slams the door on them.
But Mike, it's incredible to watch this.
Well, it really is.
And it's something everybody can understand going, okay, you can't even argue your way out of this one.
There's no kids.
We've been dealing with this Somalia and with this fraud in Minnesota for a long time.
And not just with children, with autisms, with education, Medicaid, housing.
It's one welfare thing after another, and they just scam it.
And it's a scam, scam, scam.
The New York Post reported on December 21st, just a week ago or whatever, they said it looks like it could be as high as you're ready for this, $9 billion with a B.
Now that's half of Minnesota's $18 billion that came from the federal government funding over the last six years.
That means that over half of it was stolen in these frauds and fraud schemes.
And by the way, the country of Somalia, that's their whole national economy is around $9,10 billion.
But what I really like is it's the silver lining here, it's exposing this stuff's been going on all over the country with our welfare programs.
And as we all know, and it's popping up now in Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington State.
So Nick's, but Nick and him getting in there right there, going door to door basically.
And then there's one of them that was shut down, you guys.
One of them was shut down for, or no, not shut down.
They were warned.
They had all these violations.
And I guess they were only then part of their license was taken away.
So then they had no kids, but they were paid $7.8 million over that course when they were kind of on probation.
And, well, it's easy to not get another violation if you don't have any kids.
This is one that actually had kids, but there were so many violations and they couldn't account for half the kids.
But most of them have just no kids.
And the one that I got a kind of a, I look at, I go, you got to be kidding me.
It says Child Learning Center.
And they took, they didn't have the N in there.
It was Learing Center.
They spelt it wrong.
I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
And in Minnesota, our politicians there, you either say, was governor, was our, I believe we have the worst governor in history.
I think he's so corrupt.
I think he's evil.
And he, the stuff he's done, I could spend two hours on your show and we still wouldn't get to the list of what he's done to our state and blatantly to what, you know, like even back with the virus where they had, he called out the guard or whatever to shoot paintballs if people get them back in their house during the virus.
And then he made, if you were in Thanksgiving, if you had more than eight, I believe it was eight people in your house, your neighbor could turn you in and you get 90 days in jail.
Yeah, he had a hotline, didn't he?
Yeah, he had a hotline.
And at Christmas, we, Christmas, he threw us a bone.
We got to have 12 people.
Thanks to him.
And, you know, and this, and him and I went round and round for years that this guy, now put it this way, everybody, either he, let's just say he really didn't know, then you've got to be the most incompetent governor in history.
You should be fired immediately.
You should step down.
But what is he doing?
He's doubling down.
He's saying, oh, there's no problem here.
Donald Trump's attacking us and coming after these nice Somalians that are in Minnesota.
But we've got to get rid of our guns.
Then he deflects to, we've got to get rid of our guns.
We've got to get rid of, you know, trying to ban guns now in Minnesota.
But he's something else.
And, you know, this is all the Minnesota media, too.
You've got to put a lot of blame on that.
They're, you know, here with this, what did next thing have 100 million hits or something?
It's just bizarre.
And they can't hide it anymore because our Minnesota media, the Schooling, the Star and Tribune, they just, they used to report stuff like this.
They don't know.
It's like they're protecting this corruption that's going on right from our elections with the, you know, the Somalians.
There was a big problem in our election in 2020 in Minnesota.
And it all starts there, of course.
You know that with me.
That's my next question, Mike.
And by the way, Mike Lindell with us right now.
So you know, my pillow running for governor in Minnesota.
How much of this ties into the election issue?
Well, it all comes from our election.
The stolen elections, which, by the way, we're making great progress there, the president from the top down and my teams from the bottom up, all over our country.
Dallas counties go into paper ballots, hand-counted for the primary.
And that's one of the biggest counties in Texas.
But yeah, it all comes back to the elections.
I remember sitting up on the night of the 2020 election, or no, it was the day before, I think.
And I got the president on the phone and I said, you know, there's been reporting in Minnesota here because, you know, we have that early voting of all these Somalians and they had video, they were caught on videotape and everything else.
And of course, that wasn't that was a whole different kind of stuff not with the machines, which I really focused on after that, the computers.
But, you know, it's all tied into that.
And then let's just say, here's another thing, everybody.
Let's just say you don't believe that there's anything.
Oh, our elections are all secure, which we're only, there's 132 countries that banned electronic voting machine, and we're not one of them.
But anyway, let's just say, assume that they're all secure.
Well, then what you do then is you bring in what?
You bring in 100,000 Somalis.
How do you think that Elon Omar got elected?
Everyone says, why would you guys elect Elon Omar of Minnesota?
We didn't elect it.
There's 80,000 Somalians in her district.
And then plus you couple that with all the cheating that can go on.
And then remember, we have Keith Ellison, our attorney general, who's part of the Muslim Brotherhood.
And you look at his checker pass.
It's horrific.
He's come after me for the last year and a half to shut down my foundation and my Lindale Recovery Network because the foundation is a perfect replacement for all these welfare platforms.
Even if they are good, it's a replacement I worked on for eight years going back before these elections.
So when I'm governor, you put them in place.
It goes perfect with the private sector.
And I believe it'll replace these things nationwide because all they do is they just people come dependent on them if they're even if they're even used right.
And then otherwise it just sits an open door for the biggest.
They're calling it the biggest fraud scandal in American history.
And they're just touching the tip of the tip of the iceberg.
Mike Lindell with my pillow, now running for governor here in Minnesota.
And the story is it is explosive.
We're going to hear more.
I do believe we're just talking about tip the iceberg.
And I think we're going to see that this isn't about Somalia.
It's probably not even fully about Minnesota.
I think what we're seeing is a Democrat playbook, a blueprint of how the fraud and the corruption in the NGOs, as Elon's kind of pointed out with Doge and how they were able to find some of these things, that this is how they've been doing.
So tell me, I mean, obviously, Mike, we just talked about elections.
We talked about this fraud, but I want to talk about the run for guys.
We've got some good news in some of this as well.
I want to take a quick break if we can't and come back to you and talk about those things.
It's so important for us to stay encouraged, especially as things seem to be.
So you look at a story like this and gosh, how corrupt is it?
How bad is it?
I mean, how do we ever cut this cancer up?
But there is some good news.
Let's get to that.
We come back.
Absolutely.
Quick break.
60 seconds back on the Glenn Beck program.
Justin Barkley with Mike Lindell.

Perfect Prototype Strategy00:06:59
We've got to get some of this good news in because otherwise you hear the headlines and you think, well, it's hopeless.
It's helpless.
There's nothing to be done.
But at the end of the day, I think that's part of the strategy.
Make you feel like there is nothing that you can do.
That's just not the case.
Mike's been in the fight tirelessly over the last several years, been paying the price for it in numbers of ways that you can't even begin to mention and monetize, give you a figure for it.
But Mike, you're starting to see the tide change in a lot of ways.
And in fact, you're seeing that with some of these things that are getting exposed.
But also, as you decided to run for governor, you must feel like you really got a shot and the people are ready.
Oh, absolutely.
And you guys, let's just tell you the good positive news about our election platforms because that's what I've worked the hardest on for five years.
Like I said earlier, there is great progress there.
President, if you guys can see through the news, I would suggest you follow my feed, any of the platforms, Getter, Gab, Truth, X, Facebook, Vocal.
And we're always putting out what the president's going to put.
He's pouring stuff out of the DOJ.
I don't know.
You should all be aware that Georgia now has admitted there was 300,000 votes unaccounted for.
All the stuff we told you five years ago is all true now.
And that just came out a week ago.
It's going to be a big evidence stump of the 2020 election.
Everyone says, well, why?
Who cares?
Donald Trump's in power now.
Everything is great.
No, we need to secure our elections and get rid of the machines and go to paper ballots.
Well, we've got great progress.
We've got in Texas alone, like I said, five counties.
Dallas County is going to be a perfect prototype to the country.
Paper ballots, hand-counted, no machines.
And then you get in, let's go into Minnesota.
Now, I think right now, you know, I waited until the other candidates, they all announced earlier this year.
They've been campaigning for months.
But in August, you know, I guess my wife and I started, we're praying about it.
I'm going, you know, I don't think anyone else can get this done right.
There's so many things I know how to fix it, what's wrong, and because I've been there, seen that, done it.
And so as far as winning Minnesota, I really think the time is right.
Now, I'm going to get a lot of pushback from Republicans going, Mike, this is our perfect time to win.
Our traditional candidates and our establishment candidates can win because of all the bad things that Waltz has done.
Well, you guys, I'm sorry, but I don't trust that that's going to happen with you guys.
I think I'm a little bit of a marketer and the stuff that I was doing for the president that worked in the 2024 election.
That's just to get elected.
But I think the thing is being a CEO, you know, I've been through, I built businesses from scratch.
Nobody ever handed me anything from the ground up, mini businesses, including the Lindale TV during these last five years of the attacks on my pillow.
But then also to have a company under attack like my pillow was the most attacked company in history, not only by our own government under Arctic Frost, but by lawfare with these machine companies and my own attorney general, like I said, Keith Ellison attacking my pillow, all to shut off my voice.
Well, during that time, you had to go to each sector of my pillow and, hey, let's, you know, move this over here.
We have to stop this over here.
Imagine a ship getting blown full of holes, but to guide that through.
And I had to get to where my pillow was in a very safe place, secure.
I care about my employees.
And I wanted to make sure they were safe before I moved on to governor because that's going to be a fight of all fights.
And getting in there and getting things changed, getting things gone.
You put all these people that did this in prison.
You get rid of all the illegals immediately.
You hold the leadership, whether they were in on it or not.
If they belong in prison, I don't know.
Well, I don't even know if Waltz will be there by that time.
But you have programs that you could take anything like education, making the school safer.
I have a perfect prototype for that.
You have all these welfare programs are what I was working on for 10 years with the private and with the private sector involved.
And it's not really complex, but it actually works.
We tried it in Detroit.
I tried it in 100 and some different countries to test it back then before I got involved with all this political stuff.
And so I've got great solutions.
And I think that, you know, I've been, when I came out of addiction in 2009, I spent millions of dollars downtown Minneapolis where I live down there with the teen challenges and the homeless and the people in addiction and the mentally, people are mental problems in the streets.
And there's a program that Ben Carson had.
He's a friend of mine back when he worked for the government in 2016 to 2020.
And I have the blueprints to that program.
So I really believe I have solutions to all these things and solutions that aren't going to take years.
I think people want to see, you know, problem solution.
And here we want results.
And this is going to has proven results and it's going to work.
And I think everybody is ready in Minnesota.
I mean, this is like perfect marketing for me.
And we're under a critical, like right now, you can go to mikelindellgov.com and help out.
Right now, I have to get the, we have a primary in Minnesota and everybody wants the GLT blessing.
And that's, I think a lot of my pushback will come from that going.
Mike Lindell is a conspiracy theorist, isn't he?
Or, you know, all he wants is to get rid of the voting machines.
And, well, there's a lot more to that than that's just the biggest problem we have in this country, but we're solving that.
And then now, because everything comes from our elections.
And if it goes past this next election, I don't think you can ever get Minnesota back.
I don't think our country, we're at a very critical time in history.
These midterm, they could be some of the probably the most important midterm in history, but I think it's even beyond that.
I think once this isn't a thing of, we're not in a space anymore of, oh, Republican, Democrat, Republican, Democrat.
No, this is a new thing where the people, and it's a new party of common sense, and we have to stay with that.
It's Mike Lindell from my pillow now wants to be my governor.
Mike Lindell's January Launch00:02:31
And listen, I love this.
Mike, you can take that.
I don't know if you want to use that or not, but it's yours.
I can't wait to see what you do.
Minnesota needs you, and so is the rest of the country.
Well, thank you so much.
And you guys, if you can help out, it's MikeLindellGov.com.
I'm going to launch in January something I was going to do with the president.
It involves a marketing strategy.
I just talked to him about it again yesterday, and we didn't have a chance to even use it, but it's going to be so amazing and basically bring awareness to the people, educate the people that people need to be educated on the problems and educated on the solutions in spite of the media trying to block everything for the Democrats and the Unit Party.
Mike Lindell will get it up.
And of course, Mike, love to talk to you again when you get a little closer.

Back after this, Justin Barkley Information.
This is Glenn Beck.
Relief Factor loves hearing from pain-free customers and hopes that you will be their next person.
Bill wrote in and said, I have been crawling under sinks and working long hours for decades.
My back and my knees took the punishment.
And I thought my pain was just part of the trade.
But Relief Factor surprised me.
Within weeks, I was working without wincing.
I could get down on the floor and get back up again without thinking twice.
Bill knows hard work.
He knows pipes, tools, long days on the job.
What he didn't know is how good life feels when pain stops tagging along.
It's Relief Factor.
Relief Factor didn't change Bill's trade.
It changed his tomorrow.
They've changed mine too.

Barkley in for Beck today on the Glenn Beck program and got some good news.
In fact, I want to get to, before we wrap things, put the bow on it all today.
Like I said, there's a couple of things that are just still floating out there.
I want to make sure that I touch on.
We did a lot on the Somali fraud today.
I'm sure more will be coming out in the days ahead on that.
We'll make sure that you hear about it.
I'm in for Glenn tomorrow and Wednesday.
And we have a couple of good guests and great shows planned.
So we'd love to have you back here for those.
Always a pleasure filling in for Glenn.
You ever want to reach me?
I'd love to talk to you.
You can always email me, Justin at Justin Barklay, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y, Justin at JustinBarklay.com.
Got a couple of good ones here.
I need to try and make sure that I get back to.
I will get back to everyone emailing in.
Thank you, Bernie, so much.
Ryan, John, Gary, Levi for folks that have reached out today as well, and a few others on the email.
And Mr. Justin Barkley over on Facebook, Twitter, X, let's see.
Basically, all the places you can find me and at JustinBarkley.com.
In fact, I'll be posting the stuff we talked about in what I call the stagland liner on today.
But first, let's do this.
Because as you know, the politicians are so fake and phony every time something like this presents itself.
Can't help but chuckle.
You can't help but laugh because it again does expose them.
Here is Governor Gavin Newsom, Grusham Newsom, talking about how he and his wife have joyfully celebrated Kwanzaa, you know, because we're still kind of in that Christmas mode right now.
I talked about, I talked about, I like Christmas.
I don't like how it just sort of abruptly ends after Christmas Day.
And I think I'm going to stick with the 12 days of Christmas.
And in fact, I think that would end on January 6th, the Feast of Epiphany is what they call it.
Now, I'm not Catholic, but I like that stretching it out.
I like that celebration, making it last a little bit longer.
So I'm doing that this year.
I'm going to continue to say Merry Christmas.
Probably not going to catch me saying happy Kwanzaa or whatever they say.
Happy New Year, I can say.
Happy Hanukkah, I can say.
I'm fine with all those.
Kwanzaa's just not real.
It's been made up.
And that's why it's so funny to see some of these folks get called out about it.
In fact, here's Governor Gavin Newsom getting called out by some folks commenting.
All those who celebrate.
Happy Kwanzaa.
This holiday was created to honor the rich history of the African-American community and to invite all communities to come together, reflect on our past, its struggles and triumphs, and look ahead to our shared future.
Yeah, she says it.
This holiday was created.
It sounded like a legitimate holiday.
The seven principles of Kwanzaa offer guidance as to how we can make the future bright, reminding us to keep faith in ourselves and in each other.
So as families across the country gather to light the Canara, we wish you all a joyful day.
Light, the what? Joyful Kwanzaa.
I don't.
I don't even think they know what they're talking about.
I really don't know.
And who knows what they're lighting, Gavin and his wife.
I have no idea.
Is that legal in California anyway?
I think it might be.
But the best thing is to watch how people respond.
It's one thing to hear them and to see what they, but it's a whole nother thing.
The kids call this the ratio.
Representative Sarah McBride, who goes by Congresswoman Sarah McBride over on X. You know, the true story is that's a man, man.
That's not, anyway, I won't belabor that.
I just tell you, so you understand, you can get the context of what these comments are going to be.
I'm wishing all in Delaware.
Here's the post.
I'm wishing all in Delaware who are celebrating the day a blessed Kwanzaa centered on culture, family, and community.
May this time be one of reflection, unity, and a hope.
Oh, my.
You see this stuff, and it just, it blows you away.
Some of the responses, 100 proof over on X says, bruh, Coco's dad, fake holiday.
JWF, Kwanzaa is a real holiday like you're a real female, bro.
And then my favorite from Kyle Beckley, who says, couldn't you just call both of the people in Delaware who celebrate it instead?
Yeah, couldn't you just call both of the people there celebrating Kwanzaa instead of posting about it?
You can't make us.
That's what they call the kids call the ratio, which is the response.
That's where the kind of the truth logic and comments is no way to avoid it.
You must be confronted by it.
And that's that's by speaking of which, the truth about this holiday is kind of funny because again, I tried to remember.
I don't remember this, anything about this as a kid.
I don't remember anybody talking about it, but you definitely see like the corporate types.
You see the like the politicians talking about it.
It's just not, it's none of it was real.
It's all sort of a made-up, created thing.
It's been wrapped in this sort of package of this glow of unity and African heritage.
But the roots are really more tangled in deception, violence, and a man whose past reeks of hypocrisy more than anything else.
Kwanzaa is a seven-day made-up celebration from December 26th to January 1st.
You're all discombobulated at that time anyway.
They're trying to sort of pull you in every which direction.
They tout it as a beacon of black empowerment, but let's expose what it really is.
It wasn't born from ancient African traditions handed down through generations.
No.
No, it goes all the way back to 1966.
A man named Milana Karenga or Ron Everett is his real name.
That's who he was born, Ron, Ronald, there in Parsonburg, Maryland, back in 1941.
Fresh off the Watts riots, co-founded the black nationalist group, U.S. organization, in 1965.
And the very next year, he cooked up Kwanzaa, so-called pan-African holiday modeled loosely on African first fruits harvest festivals.
No, those are real, but Kwanzaa is not.
He claimed it was to give African Americans an alternative to Christmas.
So it's really anti-Christian.
Well, most Marxists aren't.
In a lot of ways.
Now you're starting to see the reality of what we're really up against here, what you're actually facing.
Kwanzaa promotes seven principles we just talked about some of, or Newsome and his wife did.
Unity, self-determination, collection.
All of that sounds great, right?
Noble.
But when you dig deeper, you find this master teacher Moana.
It means in Swahili Arabic, the master teacher.
That's his name.
Molana.
What he renamed himself.
He was no saint.
Dig into the roots of who this guy actually was.
And the irony drips thick here.
Karenga preached empowerment, but in 1971, he was convicted of felony assault, torture, and false imprisonment.
Crimes that landed him a one to 10-year sentence in a California prison.
Who were the victims?
Two black women from his own organization.
Deborah Jones, also known as Gail Davis, and another, subjected to unimaginable brutality because this man paranoidly believed they were plotting to poison him.
Fueled, some say, by police pressure and his own drug use.
Now, picture this, whore.
These women were stripped naked, whipped with electrical cords, beaten with karate batons, burned with a hot soldering iron, pressed into one's mouth and against her face, and had a toe crushed in a vise.
Force-fed detergent while horses, or excuse me, the hoses ran water down their throats, according to the reports I'm reading.
Bashed over the head with toasters.
The man who created this holiday, his associates, did it all in Englewood, in his home in California, all while he denied involvement and cried political persecution.
Well, he served about four years before parole in 1975, emerging to later earn doctorates and teach African studies.
Again, where do you go when you fail in all these other places?
That's academia.
As if a prison stint could wash away any of that blood.
Yet Kwanzaa endures, celebrated by millions who might not know or maybe choose to ignore the dark underbelly.
And this man, all the while mutilating black women, police, I guess accused him of being a police informant.
He's never fully atoned.
And the holiday, it's fabricated.
It's phony.
As much as Sarah McBride is, according to the poster.
It's not an ancient rite.
It's made up, peddled as cultural revival.
Its creator's hands are stained with the very violence he claimed to fight against.
So next time you light the Kanara, I guess that's the candle that Newsom was talking about.
The Solid Plan Behind Kwanza00:02:07
Just remember, and remember who Newsom is honoring in this whole thing.
The roots of Kwanza aren't in Africa's soil.
They're buried in the shadows of a convict's twisted vision.
The truth sets you free, folks, but only if you dare take a look.
More truth, logic, and common sense up next.
Barkley Infra Beck Today on the Glenn Beck program.
The wise man once said, trust in God and always keep watch on the gate.
I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me.
This is Glenn Beck.
The older I get, the more I think about trust.
I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust.
I know we're alike in that way.
We don't trust a lot of people anymore.
It's like we're all Ronald Reagan trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake.
I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly.

All right, I don't know if this is real or not.
Sergeant Dominic Exposes Daycare Scams00:03:57
I have to preface it by saying that, but there's a guy on TikTok who did a video, conservative immigrant.
Apparently he called one of those fake Somali daycare centers and that was exposed by Nick Shirley and the folks.
And it turns out the number.
So guys, this is absolutely mind-blowing.
So someplace familiar.
Watching the most recent video by Nick Shirley exposing these daycare centers.
Now, they're going daycare to daycare.
And the next one that they go to is called Sweet Angels, Sweet Angel Child Care.
This is where they show up to.
And this is the business right here.
Now, he's pulled it up on Google.
This looks like a Google Maps.
And he's calling the number.
This is what you hear when he calls.
Oh, my God.
Thank you for calling Tim Wall's office.
Just wait for it.
Thank you for contacting the office of Governor Tim Wall.
I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know if it's real or not, but nothing would surprise me these days.
If that's the case, you cannot, you cannot make this stuff up.
All right.
Now, I told you I got good news.
Only got a little bit of time to share it with you tonight.
But this happened at Newark Islanders game the other day.
104-year-old World War II veteran, Dominic Cratelli, performing the national anthem.
Sergeant Dominic Crottelli.
You can hear the crowd go wild for him.
He's got, I think, this some sort of reed woodwind instrument.
And here he goes.
We'll give you as much of this as we can as a crowd.
