Best of the Program | Guest: Ryan Mauro | 1/9/26

Glenn Beck and Ryan Morrow investigate Minnesota Ice Watch, alleging Governor Tim Walz empowers a Marxist group engaging in domestic terrorism like arson and officer assaults. The discussion expands to Iran's headscarf protests amid internet blackouts and warns of miscalculated war between Russia and NATO following Alexander Dugin's strategic comments. Finally, Beck urges state-level action against Chinese land acquisitions, framing these threats as existential challenges requiring Western courage. [Automatically generated summary]

Why Switch to Patriot Mobile 00:02:20
We start again in Minneapolis.
There is something I think is really truly evil of Tim Waltz to do.
Yesterday I told you about how he was saying he was setting up the National Guard to go against the U.S. federal agents, which is absolutely unconstitutional and wildly illegal.
He will go to jail if he does that.
But I told you yesterday he's actually not doing that.
He is sending a signal to his own revolutionary guard, the Marxists and the anarchists that are on the streets, and he needs them for protection so he doesn't go to jail for all of the other things that he is doing.
It's amazing selfishness.
Ryan Morrow is here because we found something in the news yesterday and it didn't seem right.
We called him as a researcher and said, can you look this up?
He was up all night and it's big.
You don't want to miss a second of today's podcast.
Patriot Mobile, most of us are pretty careful about the big decisions in our life, but the small ones, the monthly automatic ones, we have a way of just, those just slip by without any thought.
Your cell phone service is a perfect example.
It's essential.
It's always on.
It's something you pay for without ever really revisiting the decision very often.
And you don't want to switch because it's a pain in the butt, right?
I don't want to lose my number.
I don't know.
I just, I'm fine.
I don't want to switch.
Patriot Mobile was built for people who want a different kind of relationship with the companies that they rely on.
I don't want to continue to fund companies that are, you know, today cheering for the governor and the mayor of Minnesota.
I don't want to do business with them.
I don't want my money going to these companies.
With Patriot Mobile, you're going to get a company that is the only Christian conservative wireless company in existence.
And they make it very uncomplicated to switch.
You keep your phone, you keep your number, your service just works.
The only real change comes every month when you're paying actually a little less in your phone bill.
And what you are paying, you're paying to a company that is actually aligned with you, not working against you and everything you believe in.

And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
You're listening to the Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We have Ryan Morrow joining us because I want to go over a story that we called him about late last night and the guy has not slept.
He is, I mean, this guy is a warrior for truth.
Let me give you the story.
This is from the post.
Renee Nicole Goode, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE warrior and part of a group of activists who worked to document and resist the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
Goode, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the Anti-ICE activists through her six-year-old son's woke charter school that boasts they put social justice first and prioritizes involving kids in political and social activism.
My gosh, why would you put your six-year-old kid into a school that says that we're going to involve them in political activism?
Oh my gosh, these guys are dangerous revolutionaries.
She was a warrior doing what she knew was right.
Okay, so we called Ryan and we said, Ryan, can you help us out on this group that she's involved with?
Because they were making it sound like this group is just observing.
Well, you don't take your car and block a street if you're an observer.
That's not what observers do.
Okay.
Observers do exactly what's his name from Blaze that was at January 6th.
Baker.
Steve Baker.
They do exactly.
They do that.
They stand off to the side and they watch and they write down and they record.
Okay.
That's what an observer does.
They don't block roads with their cars.
So we called Ryan.
Ryan, tell us what you found out about this group.
Ryan Morrow from the Morrow Institute.
He's the director counterterrorism expert.
You can help his group.
And I urge you, if you want to stop Islamic extremism and you want to get to the bottom of stuff, we've just partnered with Ryan.
He is part of our research team now.
His team is so good.
But please, it's a nonprofit and you can support by going to ryanmorrow.com and finding out more information.
Ryan, what'd you find last night?
Sure.
Well, according to the New York Post, she became involved with this group called Minnesota Ice Watch through this school, this charter school, which I'm still looking into and have some stuff that I want to verify before we get to that.
But as for Minnesota Ice Watch, which is the group that would be actually on the streets as opposed to the school, it was actually fairly easy research to do because they were openly radical.
It turned out this isn't really about the issue of protecting undocumented migrants, illegal immigrants, and protecting people from the abuse of the law enforcement.
It's actually about doing things like eliminating America and setting cops, cop cars on fire.
You go to their social media page and it doesn't take much work, actually, to find instructions on how to assault police in order to get free people, open up cop car doors and pull people out.
They do not recognize the United States as a legitimate country.
They oppose that referral to it as Turtle Island.
Oh my gosh, they're Turtle Island people.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Okay.
So you want to explain what that is?
You go ahead.
So Turtle Island, I'm not even sure it has a ton of merit, but it goes to this belief that a lot of the anarchists and communists spread out there saying that just like Israel should be referred to as Palestine, then all of North and Central America should be referred to as Turtle Island because they say that the indigenous people, the Native Americans, that's what they all referred to it as.
And I'm not finding a ton of verification that that's actually true.
But that's what they say in order to basically indirectly call for the destruction of the United States, which is a more uncomfortable thing to say than, hey, destroy Israel.
It's a little bit less popular.
And so when they start talking about liberating Turtle Island, that's what they're calling.
And that's why I've been calling the Turtle Island Intifada.
So they believe in that.
But their language goes even is even more aggressive than that, where you actually have posts where the one that's really alarming to me, it says, how to start a community defense center in your neighborhood.
And them and their allies usually say, oh, that just means we're watching, defending in terms of like, we'll give you the number to a lawyer.
Well, that's hard to say when your post has a depiction of a cop car on fire.
So when they say set up your community defense center in your local neighborhood, that's a violent intention.
That's how you build an insurgency.
Okay, hang on just a second.
Let me just tie this together.
You just heard what Ryan just said just there on that thing about protecting your neighborhood.
Can we please play the audio of Governor Walsh from yesterday we played just a few minutes ago and listen with that information in mind.
Listen to what he said.
Our history.
When things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota first that held that line for the nation on that July 3rd, 1863.
And I think now we may be in that moment that the nation's looking to us to hold the line on democracy, to hold the line on decency, to hold the line on accountability, and more than that, to rise up as neighbors and simply say we can look out for one another.
That I told you 25 minutes ago, what he's doing is he is empowering and activating a neighborhood revolutionary guard.
That's exactly what Ryan was just saying in different words.
This is a group that is telling you as neighbors, here's how we get together and protect your neighborhood from these evil police.
This is what's happening.
And the governor is encouraging it and speaking the same language.
Would you agree with that, Ryan, or am I off base?
No, I agree.
I think he's using the language that is comfortable to him.
And he may not even know the origin of where that rhetoric is coming from, that it is seditious in nature.
If you look at the groups on Glenbeck.com in my article, I go into some more detail about them.
I mean, they're anarchists.
They're anarcho-communists and kind of open about it.
The material that this group posts comes from groups that are quite open about that.
And they actually say, you know, as part of setting up your community defense centers in neighborhoods, you know, wherever you can do it, after you pick out a spot, the next step is you find local organizations to bring into your alliance.
And then you identify nearby vulnerable sites for developing strategic patrol routes, like for intelligence gathering and stuff.
And what they name are things like car washes and vendor hubs and churches.
So I suspect there's an increasing presence of the Christian anarchists.
And sometimes they'll ally with open Satanists.
I've seen that.
So ally with what?
Don't be surprised if it ally with what?
With like Satanists, like people who are, I'm a member of the Church of Satan type people.
And you'll see them, they'll cross over between them within this Turtle Island movement and with Christian anarchists.
And so this mentioning of churches as vulnerable spots that need protection is just a data point to keep in mind for whatever they're envisioning.
But they're envisioning something because their post, one of their most recent posts, which was written with another more openly violent anarchist group, actually calls for reinforcements, people to show up at a certain location, and they ask people to bring their Christmas trees to burn and anything that they can use to barricade the streets.
This is Ricky.
Thanks for working on this all night.
By the way, he didn't get a drop of sleep.
By the way, Ricky is our executive producer of all of the Glenbeck stuff.
We dialed back some of the language on how we framed the headline of this.
We could definitely ascertain that it's an extremist violent group, IceWatch is, but you went so far as to call it a domestic terrorist group that fits the definition of the FBI.
Can you explain that?
Because that's pretty loaded.
And if we're going to make this claim about her reported ties to IceWatch being a domestic terrorist group, please back that up.
Yes, absolutely.
I happen to have the FBI definition up here, actually.
So you go to FBI.gov, you look at the definition of domestic terrorism, and it reads as follows.
And again, this is dependent on the New York Post reporting saying Wait, wait, wait.
You broke up.
I don't know if you're going from your bedroom to the bathroom.
I'm not.
Wait, okay.
Okay, you're back.
Okay, go ahead.
Tell us what.
Okay, good.
So, yeah, the New York Post says that she's connected to this group, and so I'm saying that this group meets the FBI's definition of domestic terrorism, and it reads as follows.
Violent criminal acts committed by individuals and or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, social, racial, or environmental nature.
So ideologically motivated violence that is criminal in nature, which if you're telling, if you're teaching your supporters how to free people from being in the possession of the police, I would say that fits the definition.
Wow.
So Ryan, have you seen anyone else?
I mean, because yesterday they tried to make her look like just a simple mom who, you know, just really cares about Somali people and justice and everything else.
And then when this came out, all I heard all day yesterday was she was just, she's all she is an observer.
She was just observing.
She's there with this group that they help out with making sure that nothing is wrong and they report on the police and everything else.
Is anyone else reporting this?
Who this group is that she's actually with?
New York Post touched on it a bit.
They focused more on the charter school, which is apparently, according to their reporting, where she connected with Minnesota Ice Watch.
But I think that came out pretty quickly.
And so maybe it just was a matter of time before people combed through it all.
But no, that narrative is still there forming.
And as you well know, when there's controversies like this, if you're late with the facts at all, it doesn't take long for things to cement in people's minds at the moment and then in their memories a few weeks later when things fade.
And so it's important that we react rapidly with the truth and with these types of facts as these things form so people understand what's really going on, that the issue you're being told is the issue often isn't actually the issue.
It never is.
It never is.
Thank you so much, Ryan.
Just keep us up to speed.
The article you can find it at Glennbeck.com.
He just broke a story with us yesterday about another domestic terror group that everybody needs to be aware of that is on the Sharia law side of what's happening to America.
This one is just the radical anarchists and communists and Marxists that are involved.
And that is apparently who she was involved with.
She was not just somebody who is there to observe.
Again, you don't park your car across the road to block it if you're just an observer.
That's insanity, and we all know it.
Will anyone actually admit to that in the press?
We'll see.
Ryan, thank you so much.
Where do people go to help you?
I got to write this down so I have it.
Sure.
It's just myname.com.
RyanMorrow.com is the easiest way to do it.
So thank you for that.
You bet.
You bet.
Ryan Morrow, I have to tell you, there are several people that we have been watching over years and we rely on and look at as really good, solid, reasonable people that we know do their homework, that we have worked with over the years.
And one of the things that I'm doing with my new torch project is a couple of things.
One, we're not holding back.
You know, when we would do these Wednesday night specials, it would take us about two weeks to do a Wednesday night special.
So we were always two weeks ahead on whatever it was.
And there's so much going on that what we found was by the time we would get there, there would be another story in the news that was so big that this one kind of fell by the dust.
And we don't have time to wait.
And so we've taken our Wednesday night specials and we're just putting them on radio every day.
And when we find it, we don't hold it.
We just give it to you right away because I just feel that's the right thing to do for time.
But we're also more than doubled our efforts on research.
And Ryan is one of our new partners.
And we are working closely with them to make sure that their research is seen and heard.
And we work together because I also don't think any of us have time to duplicate efforts.
We have to work together if we're going to make progress and save not just America, Western civilization.
So if you want to support him beyond what we're doing, please go to Ryan Morrow, Ryan M-A-U-R-O, RyanMorrow.com.
You can support him there.
You can find his article now at glennbeck.com.
Make sure there's a link on all of his articles to him so people can support.
We're supporting him as well, but also you can support us 10% once we start doing subscriptions.
I've always tithed 10% of everything that I personally make.
I have made a new rule.
Not only am I doing that, but my company, every dime our company makes, 10% will go to charity and to people like Ryan beyond what we do to make sure that we are giving back to the community.

Now back to the podcast.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
All right.
We are going to start taking.
Can I go now, Sarah?
Is that okay if I go now?
It's my own show.
I mean, showing me when I can talk.
My gosh, Zionist Master is bullcrap.
No, it's Sarah who controls everything that's happening here.
Oh, I'm on to you, Sarah.
Now the American people are too.
Anyway, sorry about that.
We're going to take your phone calls, 888-727-BECK.
All next hour, all your phone calls wall to wall.
I just, we have not gotten all of the news that we need to.
By the way, it looks like the tariff ruling from the Supreme Court is not coming today.
I don't know if that's good news or bad news.
I don't know which.
I know where I fall constitutionally and I know where I fall in hopes.
And they're diametrically opposed to each other.
So we'll see what happens on this.
Also, we have to talk about the president saying yesterday about Mexican land strikes.
The GDP, the Atlanta Fed has said now we're going to, they're expecting the fourth quarter to come in at 5% GDP growth.
So you know, we started the year at, what was it, 0.5?
I think it was 0.5, minus 0.5 in GDP growth.
And then it has just kept going up and going up.
I want to give you a history of what 5% GDP growth means.
When China was really doing well, they were between 8 and 9% GDP growth.
This is stunning if you have that kind of growth.
And I know it doesn't feel that way yet, but something is happening.
To give you an understanding of 5% growth, our recovery from the financial crisis, our recovery happened in 2014.
So between 2008 and 2014, by 2014, that year, one quarter at least, we had 5% GDP growth.
It took that many years.
Let me give you another stat.
In 1984, Reagan finally really kicked in, and it was about 8% GDP growth.
8%.
If you lived in the 1980s, you know what that felt like.
But it took him four years to get there.
We are just over 11 months of Trump in office, and we have gone from negative growth to five.
We could be facing a very good election period economically.
And that will change everything.
Economic Shifts and New CEO 00:02:01
But we're going to continue to watch.
Also, unemployment is down again.
It's slight, but it's down again.
The last thing I want to talk to you about is Iran and what happened last night.
Jason, who is doing, how's the insider behind the scenes broadcast going?
So good.
I'm missing all the comments right now, but I mean, from where they started on Monday, they were just starting to trickle in, I guess, as they were trying to figure out what this was all about.
Now I can't even keep up with it.
Now it's like a huge feature, right?
They're like, Jason, can you, can you yell into Glenn and ask him about this?
And it's just amazing.
The audience, I love that.
I love the audience.
They're just amazing.
You know, and I want to say this, and I mean this sincerely, and whether you believe me or not, I don't care.
But I truly love this audience.
Every time I meet you, I feel like we've known each other forever.
Even though we're meeting for the first time, it is the most caring group of people ever.
And I'm building what I'm building now called the torch, but it's actually glennback.com.
I'm building all of this stuff as my torch.
And it is my way of lighting something and then giving it to you so you can light the way.
And what we have planned for you to be involved and actually have this one-on-one conversation.
Are we doing in two weeks?
Are we doing the town hall?
We're going to have to talk to your new CEO about that.
But we're money.
Forget it.
Forget it.
We're going to do it.
We're going to do it.
Everybody's like, it's going to cost so much money.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Abra cadabra.
We'll make money at some point.
But anyway, we'll have to start taking subscriptions to make money, I know.
But we really want your help on building it.
So we're building something that is actually useful to you.
And, you know, we haven't even had a chance to mention this.
The Open Has Changed 00:15:59
And have you seen anybody mention this yet?
The open has changed.
Our theme song changes every year.
Oh, they've noticed.
Have they?
Not the theme song.
For the very first time since 2020, the verbiage has changed.
And it has always been the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenbeck program.
I added and changed that for the first time in 26 years.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment and empowerment, because my goal is to empower you with knowledge and information, the facts on everything.
And we are coming up with delivery systems that nobody has done before.
And you can find those and play around with some of them at Glenbeck.com right now.
Anyway, let's talk about what happened last night in Israel.
Or, I mean, sorry, in Iran.
It felt to me like it might fall last night, but it didn't.
I was watching last night, and I completely agree with you.
I was like, we might see the regime go down tonight.
The things that we saw back in 2022, 23, the things that we saw back in 2009, where this started to kick off.
I remember looking at the faces of some of the protesters that were out in the streets, looking at some of the things they were willing to do.
That is nothing compared to what we saw last night.
I saw a woman last night.
She was probably 75 to 80 years old.
She was walking down the street.
She was holding up her arm in defiance, and her mouth was pouring blood down her face and down her clothing.
And she was still marching to whatever objective.
I was like, I cannot believe Time magazine or whoever else wasn't there to take that photo because it's the photo of the year.
Absolutely crazy.
And keep in mind, all these thousands of people that are actually, it spread to Tehran.
There were thousands, tens of thousands marching down the street in Tehran.
170 plus cities.
170 plus cities.
And another images for Time magazine are the young women without their hijab on smoking a cigarette, lighting the Ayatollah's image on fire.
Those are starting to go viral now all over Iran.
No headscarf, smoking the cigarette, and lighting his own.
Three things they're not supposed to do right now.
I mean, they would be killed.
Well, they still might be.
That's why we have to pray for the Persian people.
I wish people knew more about the Persian people.
This civilization is a remarkable civilization that was way ahead of everybody else.
And Tehran was like Paris.
I mean, all the good parts and good things about Paris.
It was very enlightened.
It was very smart, very well educated, very free.
The women, you look at pictures from the 1970s of Iran, and the women were beautiful.
You know, it was a very Western country.
And the Marxist and the Islamists got together and overthrew the Shah.
And they've been living in this hell since 1979.
Since I was born.
Speaking of the Shah, I remember when we were talking about this back when there was the Israeli campaign and when we bombed nuclear sites, some people were talking about the Shah as being the person to take over or lead this.
And I was very skeptical of that.
I didn't think that the people would go for it.
The stuff that was happening last night was actually called for by the Shah.
In fact, whoever he's working with, they were working with an organization that was providing like a QR code so that you could scan the QR code and film what you were doing.
They were chanting in the streets yesterday, last night, the Shah's name.
I mean, he was their battle cry.
So here's the bad thing.
So let me give you the good thing.
I told you at the beginning of the week, here's what you watch for.
I think I did.
I had a list.
I don't even know if I got to this list, but I had a list of all of the things that we have to watch for, you know, if you want to know what's going on.
And one of them was, is it growing in labor unions?
What is happening at the docks and the ports?
Are you seeing police starting to, you know, put their clubs away?
Are you starting to see the morality police kind of back off?
And all of those things you're starting to see and it's getting better.
But on the bad side, I said what you need to watch for is, is the internet still up?
Are the phones still working?
Does it look like the mullahs are digging in and about to oppress?
And last night, the internet was shut off and phone service was shut off.
So you can't even call each other.
That's really frightening.
Yeah, that's frightening.
And that is confirmed.
Those two things did happen.
And that makes sense.
Are they still out?
That is not sure.
I have to look at it.
I would assume so, but they're clearly not wanting the world to see how they're going to respond to all these people.
But there are just the wildest reports that still need to be confirmed.
But there were multiple reports that several Iranian officials were looking to get out of the country.
There was a report that the Ayatollah's ejection plan is to go to Russia.
There were reports that I think it was the main foreign minister, like their secretary of state, went to Beirut in Lebanon, took his family with him with no plans to leave at the current time, which I don't blame him.
What is Russia, what are they thinking?
You know, Russia has a population problem.
Nobody's having babies.
And so that culture is dying quickly.
And yet the Islamic culture is growing.
They're having 10 babies.
And so that's growing.
It's going to become a Muslim country at some point.
Why would you bring the revolutionary mullahs into your country?
What are they thinking?
I think what they're thinking is they're seeing the empire they thought they were building slowly crumbling.
We are seeing major geopolitical shifts in the world right now, and they're all happening simultaneously.
South America, a big part of their key to their entire eventual takeover going away.
Gone.
Iran, another huge part, not only of their empire, like militarily through drone production, stuff like that, but also money, a lot of oil.
A lot of these pieces are just getting taken off the board.
And I think they're in desperation mode right now, which could be very dangerous.
I think I heard with you talking about being backed into the corner with the ambassador.
Oh, yeah.
Did you see Alexander Dugan's tweet?
Oh, I did.
There is no international law.
We should go.
Well, I didn't see it about Iran.
I saw it about Venezuela, and he said, we should go in and take Zelensky and bring him to Russia and try him.
Yeah, I encourage everyone to go to his Twitter account just to see the mind of some of these people.
Be very careful.
He is very good at making sense.
And you'll read some of his stuff and you'll be like, yeah, I agree with that.
You have to know what he actually believes.
He is an agent of chaos, and I believe an agent of evil, literal evil.
He's very dangerous.
Be careful.
His response was very, very foreboding because he said that with the Russian military losing so much credibility, they're going to be forced to hit and hit hard very soon just to make an example.
I got to tell you, I think NATO wants war.
They're making moves that scare the hell out of me.
Russia wants war because they've got to, I mean, when they start to collapse, that's when people become very dangerous.
And, you know, I think every war, you know, I can't say this, but I think 99% of wars are started by a miscalculation.
Somebody miscalculates and the whole world's set on fire.
And that's what we have to pray that no one miscalculates right now because this is a tight rope that we are walking right now and it is extraordinarily dangerous.
What are we expecting tonight?
Do you have any idea what we is are we expecting maybe a possible roundup of people or more of what we saw last night in Iran?
It'll be very interesting to see in the closing hours of daylight over there if we get any information whatsoever.
But I don't, I expect more of what we saw last night.
I expect more of people hitting the streets, pushing further and further.
They were doing things last night that I never would have expected that they would do.
They were burning actual government buildings.
They were charging IRGC, you know, Revolutionary Guard Corps.
They were charging their headquarters in multiple different cities.
By Monday, we could see a free Iran or you could see us being in a corner of, are we going to protect the people of Iran from this regime from slaughtering them?
I mean, this weekend is going to be, just pray.
Spend a lot of time praying for peace and praying for the people of Iran.
The Persian people are amazing.
And if they could get that culture back and they could be free, the source of good that Iran would be in the world would be remarkable, remarkable.
But we are be very, very, very, very careful.

It's Friday.
Let's take some more phone calls.
I want to hear your voice.
Clint, you're up next.
What's on your mind?
Hey, Glenn.
Hey.
Hey, I was just calling about Venezuela and getting the Chinese out of there, and I agree with all that.
The one comment I have, though, is I live here in Utah, and just 100 miles from my house, Smith-Filled Foods went out of business, called the hog farm down, and a Chinese came in and bought that, and it's thousands and thousands of acres, and it's still groundwater.
It's everything.
How come we're not focused on getting them out of our own country, including Venezuela, getting them out of Venezuela as well, but they're right here in our own country.
That'd be something I would ask your so ever lovable governor.
But also, it should be for the federal government.
But, you know, there's some things that our states need to step up and do themselves.
Even in Texas, we have this problem.
Up in the Northeast in New England, it is really bad what's going on with the Chinese buying up property.
And we're allowing them to buy property all around some of our biggest bases in America as well.
This has got to stop and stop now.
And the federal government should be doing it.
But if the federal government's not doing it, our states should be leading the charge as well.
When it comes to Venezuela, though, I want to urge people to start, and I don't think you're doing this at all, Clint, but I do hear people give us these false either ors.
You know, we should be doing this, not that.
No, we should be doing both of those things.
And we need more than one person leading the charge.
That's why I encourage, you need to encourage your states, get off your ass and do something because we're losing our country and we're losing the Western way of life, the Western world.
So all hands on deck on this.
But let me give you the case on Venezuela and why and what people really need to understand.
You know, there are two ways to fight and both fronts should be fought because you knock them out when your states are stepping up or somebody else in the federal government steps up and Congress decides to do their job and they pass a law that says, if you're from China, you're not buying anything anymore.
No land.
No land can be sold to the Chinese, anybody who is a Chinese business or anything else.
Nope, not happening.
But when you look at the strategy that I think Donald Trump is using in Venezuela, you know, you look at what is Venezuela, what is the problems coming from Venezuela?
They are a source of deep Marxism.
Also, they're training camps.
They have an island.
We've told you about it for the last couple of years.
They have an island that is a training camp for Marxists and also Islamists.
You have this training camp where Hezbollah actually comes and trains people.
They're in Venezuela.
Where do those people go?
Well, they go back to Iran for more training and then they come back and then where do they go?
Most likely with us.
You also have the drugs and the cartels and the human trafficking.
You have China and Russia and Iran deeply involved in Venezuela.
They have basically set up a base in Central America and South America.
There's bases, you know, Panama Canal is one of them.
We just allowed China just to take the mouth and the butt end of the Panama Canal and control that damn thing and then buy property all up and down the Panama Canal.
Really bad idea.
If you can shut down Venezuela, you start changing things.
If you kick them out and you take the oil industry away and you say, nope, you're not going to sell oil to China, to Russia, to any of our any of our enemies in the world.
That cripples China.
And this is why this is so important.
By controlling the oil in Venezuela, you are crippling China that takes about 70% of all oil from Venezuela and uses it.
That cripples them on power.
It cripples them on any of their industry, any of their shipping.
They need to have oil just as much as everybody else does.
They buy a great share of that from Venezuela.
The other great share that they get is from Russia and Iran.
If you're now shutting down Iran, if Iran can topple this weekend, you have so degraded the power of China.
They're not going to go into Taiwan.
They won't have the energy to be able to go into Taiwan.
You're going to slow them down on all fronts.
Plus, Venezuela, you don't have to dig the gold out of the ground in Venezuela, but they have huge gold reserves still in the ground in the mountains of Venezuela.
By taking that out of the China or the BRICS column, by taking all of that mountain of gold away from them, that hurts them and slows them down at least from coming up with a currency that is a gold-backed currency that can knock the United States currency out of a leadership position, which again helps save our country.
Courage to Lose Everything 00:09:08
By crippling them financially, they don't have the money to buy up land here as well, to send people for training here.
You are fighting the WEF fight and you're fighting the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative right now.
And if you can do that, they don't have the money to send people in and send all that money to our universities to buy up land, to put terror on our own streets.
The Marxist movements that are currently being funded here in America, a lot of that is happening in our own country because they're sending all this money.
It's China, it's Iran, and it is Russia that is doing most of this.
We got to find a way to cripple them.
So don't make it either or.
We shouldn't, and you weren't doing this, but we shouldn't be doing, why are we doing this in Venezuela when we should be concentrating on this?
We should be doing both.
We need more than one person coming up with these things and doing it.
If Donald Trump dropped dead tomorrow, who's leading this?
We need other people in states.
You should be saying to your governor, why are you letting this happen in our own state?
We can go to Minneapolis and Minnesota.
Why aren't you at the governor's doorstep right now saying, how did you let this happen?
Why is he the only one that's not responsible for the biggest embezzlement or the biggest ripoff in possibly American history, but certainly the history of that state?
How is he not being held responsible?
How has no one lost their jobs?
Why is no one going to jail?
Because everybody is saying, well, Donald Trump will do it.
How come Donald Trump's not doing?
Where are you?
Where are you in your own state?
Where is your governor?
Where is your attorney general?
Where is anyone else?
Let me go to Jen in North Carolina.
Hi, Jen.
Thank you, Brother Beck.
Thank you for all your honesty over these years.
I mean, I've been listening to you since 2002.
Wow.
Holy smokes.
And I am really, really trying to live in Thanksgiving every day.
And a few days ago, you were speaking about acquiring real property.
And my husband and I are dual military.
And the Army-Navy game is awesome because of that dual military.
But we are trying.
We are really trying to find farmland.
And retirement's coming soon.
Yeah.
And we've been looking across four states.
Let me say if I can predict your problem.
It's really expensive because the Bill Gates and the corporations of the world are buying it all up.
And they're driving the prices up.
And we can't even get our foot in the door.
And I do not want to be a complainer.
I want to be wise and I want a game planned, but this is starting to feel too FOMO.
And I just need a little pick-me-up.
I know that we will walk through with our Heavenly Father, but I just need a little pick-me-up.
And what can we do?
Well, you keep looking, you don't give up.
And you also, again, encourage others to see the problem.
You know, this is why I said yesterday, and I just said it a few minutes ago, when it comes to this thing about corporations not being able to buy property, I celebrated when he said that.
I don't agree with the solution, but at least we're having this conversation.
And, you know, we need to, instead of just saying, you can't do that, well, let's be part of the solution.
What can we do?
And if the federal government won't do it, again, why aren't your states?
There has to be states.
I mean, I'm so impressed with DeSantis and the way he has run Florida and the balls that this guy has to take on things that everybody said were untouchable.
He has totally transformed.
And even, you know, towards the end here, he's still trying to get a property tax abolished.
And he's doing it in such a way where it's all being passed into law.
So it'll take a lot to undo them.
Where are the other people?
Are there really seriously that few governors that love their country?
Because I don't believe this, that love their country, that want to save the Western world, to save our way of life, to save the people of their own states from being overrun by giant corporations.
Really, there's nobody.
I believe there are tons of patriots who are there.
I know many of your state legislators and senators because I meet with them all over the country.
I believe there are tons of those people.
What we have a lack of is courage.
We have a lack of people in political positions that, especially in governors, that have the courage to stand up and say, we're not doing that.
I'm sorry, vote me out, but we're not doing it.
We have to have people who are willing to lose everything.
And it's hard.
It's really hard.
When I announced what I was doing a year ago to my staff and to everybody in my life, everybody's like, Glenn, what are you doing?
Why would you do that?
Why?
You could lose everything.
You're putting everything at this point in your life, you're going to put everything at risk and you're going to do that.
Why?
Why would you do that?
Because I think it's the right thing to do.
And I think it's the right thing for me to do.
And I don't really care.
I don't care.
If as long as I am prayerfully looking at everything, as long as I am using reason and logic and I'm doing my own homework, it may not work out the way I wanted it to work out.
But I'm old enough in my life to see that even my failures have turned into success and maybe not financial, but it has turned into success and led me to where I've needed to be.
And so when you start looking at the world that way, courage changes.
It changes because you're not, it's not this or that.
It's, I know it's all going to be fine and I'm going to be exactly where I'm supposed to be in life, learning the lessons I'm supposed to learn in life because I'm not here to be successful.
I didn't, I wasn't born to be successful and to, and to have all the money that I wanted and live the way I wanted, whatever.
That's not why I was born.
I was born to live, to live a good life, to learn, to work hard, to learn important eternal lessons and help others learn important.
My children, number one, to help them.
So we as people and me as an individual soul can grow.
When you start looking at things that way, courage changes.
You still might be afraid.
I mean, you know, especially after Charlie Kirk died, were there times that I was very nervous about going on stage someplace?
You damn right I was.
But I knew everything was going to work out.
Even if that means the worst, it's all going to be fine.
It's all going to be fine.
Our politicians need to start, we need to start voting people in who understand what courage is.
And what courage is, is just doing the next right thing because you know no matter what happens to you, it's going to be okay.
So when you get into office, we need to start voting for people and go, look, this is just the way it is.
We have to do these things.
They are constitutional.
I've mapped it all out and I'm not going to surrender.
And if that means they shoot me, if that means I lose the next election, if that means I lose everything, fine, so be it.
I was born to do what I am supposed to do.
And I am born to grow and to help others grow.
And at this point, Western civilization is up for grabs.
