=== Hearing Aid Revolution (14:37) ===

[00:00:00]  For years, I have heard the same story from listener after listener after listener.
[00:00:04]  They know they need help with their hearing, but they are intimidated by the process of getting that help.
[00:00:10]  And it's also really expensive.
[00:00:11]  The tiny budget, the little gadget apps that you have to fight with, it's too much.
[00:00:15]  Well, somebody finally said, why don't we just make this simple and affordable?
[00:00:20]  It's called the Atom X, and it's from Audion.
[00:00:22]  It is the first over-the-counter hearing aid with a touch screen built right into the case.
[00:00:28]  You don't need a prescription.
[00:00:29]  There's no confusion.
[00:00:30]  You just open it, you put it in, and you tap the screen, and you're hearing clearly.
[00:00:34]  Even the settings and the volume just feel obvious.
[00:00:38]  It's like something you might have used your whole life.
[00:00:40]  Audion built this around real people, not technical gimmicks, designed with input from audiologists, meaning really good, smart people to help you live your everyday life.
[00:00:51]  Family, dinner, church, work, watching TV, whatever.
[00:00:53]  I want you to get this now at Audion.
[00:00:56]  All you have to do is just go to audienhearing.com, audianhearing.com.
[00:01:02]  Hello, America.
[00:01:03]  You know, we've been fighting every single day.
[00:01:05]  We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
[00:01:11]  We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
[00:01:16]  But to keep this fight going, we need you.
[00:01:18]  Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
[00:01:22]  Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
[00:01:31]  This isn't a podcast.
[00:01:32]  This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
[00:01:36]  So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
[00:01:41]  Rate, review, share.
[00:01:43]  Together, we'll make a difference.
[00:01:45]  And thanks for standing with us.
[00:01:46]  And now let's get to work.
[00:02:36]  This is the Glenn Beck program.
[00:02:40]  Glenn Beck is on.
[00:02:41]  Hello, America.
[00:02:42]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[00:02:44]  Last night, I went on a little financial jihad.
[00:02:53]  I'm looking at the news and I'm especially looking at Somalia and I about lost my mind.
[00:03:00]  And so, yes, I did put on the headband and dressed all in black and started doing things like because it was a little jihad.
[00:03:13]  And I think you're going to like who my jihad is on because it is the real story that everybody is missing.
[00:03:20]  Get to that here in 60 seconds.
[00:03:22]  First, let me tell you about the Bern a Launcher.
[00:03:24]  Strange gap in the way most people think about personal safety.
[00:03:27]  On one hand, we all agree the world feels a little less predictable than it used to.
[00:03:32]  I'd say a lot less predictable.
[00:03:34]  On the other, a lot of us still tell ourselves, I'll figure it out if something happens.
[00:03:38]  It's never going to happen to me.
[00:03:40]  You know, as if danger schedules an appointment.
[00:03:43]  Oh, by the way, I've got danger on your calendar next Thursday.
[00:03:46]  The reality is when a moment goes sideways, you don't get time to think.
[00:03:50]  You have to react.
[00:03:52]  You know, one of the things that people misunderstand is character is not built in times of trouble.
[00:04:02]  Character is revealed only when you have worked on something over and over again.
[00:04:08]  I'm not going to be a jerk.
[00:04:09]  I'm not going to be, believe me, because I used to be a jerk.
[00:04:12]  I kind of still am, but I used to be a really jerk and I'd get really jerky when stress was on.
[00:04:18]  And I didn't want to be that way anymore.
[00:04:20]  And so I've worked really hard not to be a jerk.
[00:04:23]  And I'm, I hate to say this, but I'm kind of proud of myself when we get into problems and we're under stress and I'm not a jerk.
[00:04:31]  But that didn't happen because I'm just not a jerk.
[00:04:35]  I'm naturally a jerk.
[00:04:37]  I had to work on that.
[00:04:38]  Character reveals itself when you're under stress.
[00:04:42]  Same thing with shooting.
[00:04:44]  You're not just suddenly going to turn into Superman.
[00:04:46]  You're not going all of a sudden go, you know what?
[00:04:48]  I'm here to save the day.
[00:04:50]  Unless you've thought it through and you have a plan.
[00:04:53]  So what is your plan if something happens?
[00:04:56]  My plan is the Berna launcher.
[00:04:58]  My backup plan is my gun.
[00:05:01]  But the Burna Launcher is something my kids have.
[00:05:04]  They have it in their backpack, keep it in the glove box of the car.
[00:05:07]  My wife carries one in her purse.
[00:05:08]  I have one in the small of my back.
[00:05:10]  You can carry it in all 50 states.
[00:05:12]  There are no permits that are required.
[00:05:15]  No background checks, no paperwork, nothing.
[00:05:17]  Just go to burnabyrna.com.
[00:05:20]  It hits somebody up to 60 feet away with tear gas.
[00:05:26]  Well, that'll stop them for about 45 minutes.
[00:05:28]  Bernabyrna.com slash Glenn.
[00:05:30]  Berna.com slash Glenn.
[00:05:36]  Okay, so let me do a little bit of a jihad here because I was thinking last night about what's happening in Somalia.
[00:05:44]  I'm thinking about ICE.
[00:05:45]  I'm thinking about, you know, the president now being sued.
[00:05:49]  I love this one.
[00:05:50]  Minnesota, guess, guess who?
[00:05:54]  A name from the past that, you know, I just always feel warm and fuzzy inside when I hear Keith Ellison's name.
[00:06:03]  Keith Ellison, I think personally, kind of a bad guy.
[00:06:06]  By the way, if you're looking at the chalkboard, guys, I'm seeing in the control room, chalkboard, that's Mo and Ming's Apple Farm.
[00:06:14]  That's for China a little later.
[00:06:16]  You don't want to miss that.
[00:06:18]  But let me talk to you about Minnesota.
[00:06:23]  Keith Ellison, he is, he's suing the Trump administration because he said, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin Cities and Minnesota is happening now and it has to stop.
[00:06:39]  DHS agents have sewn chaos and terror across the metropolitan area and in cities all across the state of Minnesota.
[00:06:48]  No, they haven't.
[00:06:49]  They've shown up to do their job.
[00:06:51]  And what is their job?
[00:06:52]  Their job is, well, ICE is there to make sure that people who have criminal records are no longer there.
[00:07:03]  And you have, I'll give you a list in a little while of all the people that they're arresting, trying to arrest.
[00:07:09]  They're really, really bad guys.
[00:07:11]  But it's really not even about the Somalis.
[00:07:15]  Even the Somalis that were laundering money or, you know, stealing money from the Minnesota people.
[00:07:21]  It's not even about that.
[00:07:23]  I'll tell you who it's really about here in just a second.
[00:07:26]  But let me take you through the story.
[00:07:29]  Because last night I heard about the lawsuit and then I'm thinking, you know, that damn airport.
[00:07:34]  How did they miss this at the airport?
[00:07:36]  A million dollars a day in cash in a suitcase for up to two years.
[00:07:43]  $700 million went through that airport.
[00:07:48]  And I'm thinking, you know, if I have a suitcase and it's got $5,000 in cash and I'm just taking it through the x-ray machine, I have a feeling we should do this.
[00:07:59]  Let's go see if we can get $10,000 and let's just try to go through.
[00:08:03]  Let's just see what DHS says.
[00:08:04]  I'm going to take a suitcase.
[00:08:06]  We'll put $10,000 cash in it and I'll just go through.
[00:08:08]  Let's just see if they say anything besides, whoa, wow, that's a lot of cash there.
[00:08:13]  And then let me go on.
[00:08:15]  I doubt they do.
[00:08:17]  Are you claiming this?
[00:08:19]  What's happening with this money?
[00:08:20]  Where's this money going for?
[00:08:22]  It's the law.
[00:08:24]  So how did they put a million dollars through that airport?
[00:08:28]  Well, it didn't start with the airport.
[00:08:30]  It didn't start with a suitcase.
[00:08:31]  It started with a check.
[00:08:34]  A check.
[00:08:35]  A check written by the state of Minnesota.
[00:08:38]  That if you're listening to us in Minnesota, I'd like to remind you, is your money.
[00:08:43]  Money that you could have used to put your kids through school, put your kids in new clothes, put your kids in a better school, take a vacation, pay down the credit card, whatever it is.
[00:08:55]  That's your money meant to feed children and support daycare centers that are supposed to be, and I know this is a very high bar, supposed to be real places with real kids, real meals, real receipts.
[00:09:10]  But before the check was ever written, you have to understand this whole system of welfare, of this whole thing, it was designed to ask basic questions because we expect humans to be humans.
[00:09:25]  We expect fraud to happen.
[00:09:27]  Okay.
[00:09:28]  So they ask questions like, this is a tough one.
[00:09:32]  Is this a real center?
[00:09:34]  Is this, are there, actually, forgive me for asking this.
[00:09:38]  This is really tough.
[00:09:39]  You'll have to do the math.
[00:09:40]  Are there any real children in this real center?
[00:09:46]  Here's one.
[00:09:46]  Do the numbers actually make sense?
[00:09:49]  Those questions are not really philosophical.
[00:09:52]  They're program controls.
[00:09:55]  And they're put in, again, because we know people, when nobody's looking, people sometimes steal and do bad things.
[00:10:02]  And they exist specifically to stop exactly what happened in Minnesota.
[00:10:07]  And yet the first payment went through.
[00:10:09]  Okay, mistake.
[00:10:10]  Then the second, then the third.
[00:10:12]  And the third is bigger than the first and the second.
[00:10:15]  And each time they get bigger and bigger and more absurd until the numbers stop being suspicious and just become impossible.
[00:10:24]  You can't feed that many kids.
[00:10:26]  How big is this daycare?
[00:10:28]  No daycare feeds that many children.
[00:10:30]  No profit, no nonprofit grows that fast.
[00:10:34]  No honest program explodes overnight into tens and then hundreds of millions without tripping every single wire the system has because it just doesn't happen.
[00:10:47]  So last night I was thinking about the odds because this is the only honest way to deal with how could nobody know?
[00:10:57]  What are the odds that nobody knew?
[00:11:00]  Well, let's start with the state-level program.
[00:11:02]  The odds that people noticed and chose not to stop it are incredibly high.
[00:11:10]  And that's not because I'm cynical.
[00:11:12]  It's because what the scale does, okay, this is something at this scale, everybody noticed.
[00:11:19]  When a program starts paying amounts that dwarf normal baselines, it's not hidden in the noise.
[00:11:25]  It becomes the noise.
[00:11:27]  You know, if you're doing, if, if you're doing banking and you're somebody and you're bringing in, you know, a million dollars every month to the bank, do you think if you're just going up to the counter and you're just waddling up to the counter and like, I got another million dollars to deposit this month, do you think none of the tellers just say, what does that guy do?
[00:11:47]  Of course they do.
[00:11:49]  Of course they do.
[00:11:51]  So it's not hidden in the noise.
[00:11:54]  It is the noise.
[00:11:55]  And that means that memos, escalations, exceptions, and approvals all had to happen.
[00:12:01]  This means humans were involved making decisions.
[00:12:05]  And the Justice Department has just described this as the largest COVID fraud scheme in the state.
[00:12:16]  Now they've charged dozens of people.
[00:12:18]  Dozens.
[00:12:20]  Dozens of people.
[00:12:22]  Somalis, because you hate Somalis, remember?
[00:12:25]  So by the time you're witnessing nine figures, we're not debating a miss.
[00:12:30]  How did you miss this?
[00:12:31]  We're debating whether the failure was cowardice, incompetence, or complicity.
[00:12:38]  Okay, that's just at the writing of the checks.
[00:12:41]  Now let's stop at the bank for a second, because the money eventually has to hit the bank because it's a check.
[00:12:47]  So somebody has to take that check and put it in the bank, get the cash back out.
[00:12:53]  Now, this is where the American public still believes that, you know, this comforting fairy tale that the bank is just a neutral pipe.
[00:13:03]  You know, the money goes in, the money comes out, nobody knows anything.
[00:13:06]  And that's not how modern banking.
[00:13:08]  Were you alive during 9-11?
[00:13:12]  Do you remember banking before 9-11?
[00:13:14]  Do you remember what they did to the banks after 9-11?
[00:13:16]  Do you know what they did to the banks after 2008?
[00:13:20]  You practically can't move a dime without people knowing exactly what you're doing, at least in the banks.
[00:13:27]  Because the bank runs on compliance, pattern detection, liability management.
[00:13:34]  You know, this one I love.
[00:13:35]  You know, what's a liability management?
[00:13:37]  That's a group of lawyers in a room that goes, okay, hang on just a second.
[00:13:41]  If we don't report this, are we going to be liable?
[00:13:44]  If we do continue them with a customer, are we in trouble?
[00:13:47]  Okay, they don't care about you, the state, nothing.
[00:13:51]  Their only job is to make sure the bank isn't liable for anything you might be doing.
[00:13:57]  Okay.
[00:13:58]  They also track velocity.
[00:14:01]  How fast is that money coming in and going out?
[00:14:04]  They track any anomalies.
[00:14:06]  They track behavior that doesn't match the account story.
[00:14:11]  I'm a daycare center.
[00:14:13]  Really?
[00:14:15]  This is the entire point of what is called the Bank Secrecy Act, which gave us SARS, the yellow tickets, CTRs, all the surveillance architecture that we have all came out of 9-11 and then.
[00:14:32]  And that's the entire point is to be able to find and track everything.

=== The Entire Point of Yellow Tickets (04:05) ===

[00:14:37]  Okay.
[00:14:38]  This is the, do you remember, what was it, a couple of years ago under Biden, the Financial Crimes Center, they wanted to make sure that every single business was registered with them to make it easier for them to understand exactly that you're not money laundering.
[00:14:58]  So they care about this.
[00:15:00]  They care about this.
[00:15:02]  The own numbers show the system is massive.
[00:15:07]  4.7 million yellow tickets just in 2024.
[00:15:12]  Now that means that Fred's not just sitting in the back going, well, let me just run the numbers here.
[00:15:17]  That is a complex system.
[00:15:20]  Now, here's the brutal truth.
[00:15:22]  These yellow tickets, you do something wrong.
[00:15:25]  Let's say the bank thinks that you're depositing money offshore.
[00:15:30]  It produces a yellow ticket.
[00:15:33]  And then that yellow ticket goes to the bank.
[00:15:35]  It goes to that group of lawyers I told you about a minute ago going, geez, if we keep taking money from Epstein, are we going to be liable for anything?
[00:15:44]  Okay.
[00:15:45]  The yellow ticket then goes from the bank to the Treasury Department and it runs through the system.
[00:15:51]  Now, I love this part of it.
[00:15:54]  Only the banks could do this.
[00:15:56]  It's an alarm bell.
[00:15:57]  It's not a break.
[00:15:59]  It doesn't freeze things.
[00:16:03]  Every time there's a problem, every time it says, oh, this doesn't look right, an alarm bell goes off.
[00:16:10]  It doesn't guarantee an investigation.
[00:16:12]  It guarantees that it's going to go to the higher ups in the bank.
[00:16:15]  And they're like, okay, do we want to look into this?
[00:16:19]  Or do we just move on?
[00:16:20]  Send it to the treasury.
[00:16:21]  We're just going to move on.
[00:16:23]  Okay.
[00:16:23]  That way the bank can keep servicing their customer.
[00:16:27]  Because if you don't take my $4.7 million for my daycare, I'll take my money elsewhere.
[00:16:33]  And they want that money.
[00:16:37]  So this is how banks, this is how bad guys get away with bad things for a long time.
[00:16:42]  And I'm on this jihad because they know about China.
[00:16:46]  Wait until I tell you about Mo and Ming's apple farm and how, you know, I've wondered, how is China getting this oil?
[00:16:54]  I thought we banned all oil exports.
[00:16:57]  Are they just bringing in?
[00:16:58]  No, wait until I tell you that story.
[00:17:01]  They know about the financial crimes that are happening in Venezuela.
[00:17:04]  They know who's taken the gold and where the gold is.
[00:17:08]  The banks know.
[00:17:09]  The banks know who the drug lords are.
[00:17:12]  They know where the money is.
[00:17:14]  They knew about Epstein.
[00:17:15]  They knew about all of these things.
[00:17:17]  Okay.
[00:17:18]  All of them.
[00:17:23]  And that's how bad guys keep getting away with it.
[00:17:27]  So the common thread in all of this stuff is how the banks have optimized, the system is optimized to document suspicion, to manage it, manage the bank's exposure, but not actually stop any criminal activity.
[00:17:42]  Unless you're unpopular, unless the federal government is like, no, this has to be stopped.
[00:17:48]  Okay.
[00:17:49]  Now layer in 2008 with what I just told you.
[00:17:52]  Epstein made off all of this stuff.
[00:17:54]  The banks didn't miss the risk.
[00:17:58]  The banks created the risk.
[00:18:00]  The banks created CDOs and derivatives and instruments designed to slice, rate, sell, and then resell risk while everyone in the banking community in Wall Street collected fees.
[00:18:14]  And then when it blew up, who paid?
[00:18:17]  You did.
[00:18:18]  You did, the taxpayer.
[00:18:20]  You paid it.
[00:18:24]  When this all blew up in Minnesota, who's left holding the bag?
[00:18:28]  Who actually paid for all of this?
[00:18:32]  You did.
[00:18:33]  The banks got their fees.
[00:18:35]  People got away with terrorists got their fees.
[00:18:39]  Everybody seemed to get their money.

=== Who Actually Paid for the Crisis (02:14) ===

[00:18:42]  You lost money.
[00:18:43]  And this is what just is grinding at me.
[00:18:46]  There's something really wrong.
[00:18:48]  And I'll get to that in 60 seconds.
[00:18:50]  Let me tell you about Legacy Box.
[00:18:51]  Somewhere in a closet or a basement, there's a box that you haven't opened in years.
[00:18:55]  It's your family's history sitting there.
[00:18:57]  Tapes, films, photos slowly faded, slowly decaying, and completely at the mercy of time.
[00:19:04]  Most of us mean to deal with that box.
[00:19:06]  We tell ourselves we'll get to it one day when things slow down.
[00:19:09]  Have you ever noticed you don't have a free weekend?
[00:19:11]  Things never really slow down.
[00:19:13]  You know, we're going to do it when it's less overwhelming right now.
[00:19:15]  Well, your memories are fading and they're fading quick, and you have to be the one that's responsible in the family for being the one who is keeping those memories alive.
[00:19:24]  Legacy Box exists because they understand that problem exactly.
[00:19:27]  They take all those VHS tapes, the camcorders, the film reels, the photos, the slides, all the stuff most of us no longer even have the equipment to play.
[00:19:36]  They professionally digitize it and preserve it before it's too late.
[00:19:40]  They convert it to digital.
[00:19:41]  You get the digital and the originals back, and it's all done here in America.
[00:19:46]  Kick off the new year by rescuing your family's most cherished memories that haven't been watched or enjoyed in years.
[00:19:51]  Go to legacybox.com slash records.

[00:19:55]  That's legacybox.com slash records.
[00:19:58]  10 seconds station idea let me now take you to the airport on my jihad This is where the, this is where this story becomes physically insulting.
[00:20:22]  Because I've watched grandma get searched at the airport.
[00:20:26]  I've watched toddlers be patted down.
[00:20:30]  I've watched milk from a baby taken from a baby as they're drinking it and thrown away.
[00:20:39]  Okay, it's ridiculous.
[00:20:42]  And yet, I'm asked to believe that suitcases full of $700 million in cash, a million dollars every day, went through that airport in a suitcase and nobody noticed.

=== Why You Need the Vesta Heater (03:34) ===

[00:20:56]  Here's the thing.
[00:20:57]  I'm not asking you to believe in a script for a Hollywood movie.
[00:21:01]  I'm asking you to accept something more mundane, more damning.
[00:21:06]  Patterns that are visible, patterns that are discussable, patterns that generate paperwork.
[00:21:14]  So again, let me ask you the odds question again.
[00:21:18]  What are the odds that the people on the front line standing there by the scanners and the screens notice these anomalies at least some of the time?
[00:21:30]  If they didn't notice it every time, again, I'm pissed off and want another jihad on DHS and Department of Homeland Security.
[00:21:39]  TSA.
[00:21:40]  Why?
[00:21:40]  Why aren't they, why weren't they aware of it every time?
[00:21:44]  And if they were and they noticed this pattern and it's repeated every single day, what are the odds the supervisors weren't aware of this pattern?
[00:21:57]  The odds that no one in the chain ever connected the dots?
[00:22:02]  Wow.
[00:22:03]  That's got to be never, right?
[00:22:05]  It's got to be never.
[00:22:06]  And if it's not, you should be pissed off for security reasons because they're ripping you off on security and patting down your toddler and grandmother while they're letting this happen.
[00:22:19]  So you're left in the same fork in the road, negligence, paralysis, or protection.
[00:22:27]  Then right when the citizens should be demanding clarity and consequences, you get a second fight layered over the first.
[00:22:37]  Minnesota's leadership are framing the federal presence as harmful and they're trying to start something.
[00:22:45]  The governor ordered the National Guard staged and emphasized keeping the peace during the demonstrations.
[00:22:51]  The Attorney General has just filed suit.
[00:22:54]  Why?
[00:22:55]  Why?
[00:22:56]  Because they're responsible?
[00:22:58]  No.
[00:22:59]  It's cover-up.
[00:23:01]  It's cover-up.
[00:23:03]  It's to get your attention to stop looking at who enabled this theft.
[00:23:09]  Who did this?
[00:23:10]  Instead, they're asking you to pick a side in a street fight.
[00:23:14]  Oh, I'll show you who we should be targeting next.
[00:23:22]  You know, most people don't think about heat until the moment you don't have heat, until the power goes out.
[00:23:28]  You know, it'd be really tough camping on the moon because you could camp in the moon.
[00:23:32]  You're like, oh, it's going to be so beautiful here.
[00:23:34]  Then the sun goes down, you know, and it's 400 degrees below zero.
[00:23:38]  And you're thinking, wow, we got to pull up the stakes and get out of this tent because it's a little cold.
[00:23:43]  You should have some heat in that tent if you're camping on the moon.
[00:23:46]  Problem is, whether you're on the moon camping or you're in your house and the grid fails, it doesn't fail conveniently.
[00:23:53]  It fails at night.
[00:23:54]  It fails during storms.
[00:23:55]  It fails when the temperatures drop and options disappear.
[00:23:58]  That's why you need the Vesta heater from My Patriot Supply.
[00:24:02]  It makes sense.
[00:24:03]  It's portable.
[00:24:04]  It's an indoor safe heater and a stove that doesn't rely on electricity.
[00:24:08]  And you can pack it, you know, if you're traveling and you're in a rocket and you have very little space.
[00:24:13]  It's very small.
[00:24:14]  Best part is right now you can get the Vesta and a bunch of other preparedness gear as free gifts when you order the winter survival kit from my Patriot Supply.
[00:24:22]  Just go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn, see if everything is included.
[00:24:27]  You're going to be impressed.

[00:25:01]  So let me take you back to Somali and my jihad.
[00:25:05]  My jihad is on several things, and I believe these are the right things that we should be worried about.
[00:25:13]  Look how many Somalis were involved in this.
[00:25:16]  Okay, and everybody's concentrating on Somalis.
[00:25:18]  I'm going to give you a list of just who I believe should be dragged in front of a court of law and answer questions.
[00:25:26]  And I'm not even concentrating on the Somalis because the Somalis involved in this is a smaller number than everybody else that had to be involved in this.
[00:25:36]  My jihad is on banks, but that will kind of be a theme throughout the entire show today.
[00:25:42]  Banks are really, really pretty.
[00:25:46]  They're great.
[00:25:47]  They do a lot of great things.
[00:25:49]  And there's a lot of great people at a lot of great banks.
[00:25:52]  But the system itself protects itself.
[00:25:56]  And they seem to always get rich while everybody else has to pay the price.
[00:25:59]  They got their fees.
[00:26:02]  And they knew, they had to have known.
[00:26:05]  You don't run $700 million through an airport in cash.
[00:26:11]  I tried to get $10,000 out of my bank at one point because I wanted to bury it in my backyard next to my dog's bones.
[00:26:18]  And, oh, crap, now I got to read.
[00:26:22]  I've got to shovel it up now.
[00:26:24]  Anyway, try to get that.
[00:26:26]  It took me two weeks.
[00:26:27]  Took me two weeks.
[00:26:28]  Now it can go faster than that, but they were like, we have to let the treasury know the treasury, the bank doesn't have that much cash.
[00:26:34]  And I'm like, you don't have $10,000?
[00:26:36]  What kind of crappy bank?
[00:26:37]  They're like, the Federal Reserve, it goes to the Federal Reserve every night.
[00:26:41]  Now we're in Dallas, but every night it goes to the Federal Reserve and we have to ask for the amounts of cash.
[00:26:46]  So the money came from the Federal Reserve.
[00:26:48]  That wasn't an easy, that wasn't like Mildred going into the back and just pulling out 10 grand.
[00:26:54]  There were all kinds of paperwork that that, so you're telling me $700 million in cash came out of a bank over a two-year period and nobody noticed it.
[00:27:06]  Hmm.
[00:27:07]  Then nobody noticed it at the TSA.
[00:27:10]  Nobody noticed that.
[00:27:11]  Nobody noticed that these daycare centers are remarkable, serving more children than even exist in that community.
[00:27:23]  Nobody said anything.
[00:27:24]  Nobody noticed.
[00:27:26]  And now, the last part.
[00:27:30]  I am so sickened by the leadership of Minnesota.
[00:27:37]  I mean, I would move from Minnesota.
[00:27:39]  I mean, I know Minnesotas are now cheering.
[00:27:42]  They were like, wait, he was living here the whole time.
[00:27:43]  We didn't know it.
[00:27:44]  They're cheering that I wouldn't live in Minnesota.
[00:27:46]  And I understand that.
[00:27:47]  But I wouldn't live in Minnesota.
[00:27:49]  You couldn't pay me to live there, not because of the politics, but because the society is accepting this corruption.
[00:27:56]  And now your governor and the whole apparatus that stole money from you are now trying to get you riled up for a civil war.
[00:28:08]  At least civil, the worst case scenario is civil war.
[00:28:12]  Those are your governor's words, not mine.
[00:28:15]  The best case scenario is civil unrest.
[00:28:20]  They already let one of your cities burn to the ground.
[00:28:23]  Why not burn the whole state down to the ground?
[00:28:25]  Why?
[00:28:26]  So they aren't called into question so they don't have to go to court.
[00:28:30]  So possibly they can get away with stealing your money?
[00:28:35]  Is it Stockholm syndrome?
[00:28:37]  Honestly.
[00:28:38]  Now, I know that involves hostages, but it's almost the same thing.
[00:28:42]  And I was thinking about it, and it's not Stockholm Syndrome.
[00:28:45]  But how do you get good people to do what people are doing up there?
[00:28:50]  Well, you have to condition them for a very long time.
[00:28:53]  And this happens on both sides.
[00:28:54]  I want you to know you have to be careful on our side.
[00:28:57]  You're conditioned to go, Orange Man, bad.
[00:29:01]  Tim Walt, bad.
[00:29:03]  Okay.
[00:29:03]  You're conditioned.
[00:29:05]  And so when something happens, you're immediately conditioned to go, no, you're bad side, me, good side.
[00:29:15]  Okay.
[00:29:16]  So that plays a role in it.
[00:29:18]  But the other part that plays a role is if you have been this wrong and you have defended somebody like this for so long and you've turned a blind eye to local reports and everything else and you went, ah, that can't be true.
[00:29:32]  And you're so deeply into it, it is almost impossible for you to admit that you were that wrong for that long.
[00:29:42]  Especially if the other side says, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong.
[00:29:46]  Instead of saying, you're looking at this, I think, the wrong way.
[00:29:49]  Can I give you another way to look at this?
[00:29:52]  Instead of welcoming people and saying, no, no, no, I understand how you're feeling.
[00:29:57]  I get it.
[00:29:58]  If we are on our side saying, you're wrong, you're part of the problem.
[00:30:02]  You never, they'll never change their mind.
[00:30:05]  They only harden their positions and you will have civil unrest or civil war.
[00:30:11]  In the meantime, we have to pursue this.
[00:30:14]  The federal agents cannot be turned around.
[00:30:17]  You have to change this because if you don't, if you can't break the spell and there is no accountability ever, then, you know, the predators will just do it again.
[00:30:28]  They'll do it bigger.
[00:30:28]  They'll do it in the daylight.
[00:30:30]  You know, guardrails are real until somebody decides they're not.
[00:30:36]  Okay.
[00:30:38]  So I started making a list last night until I had no more lead in the universe to put into a pencil and write it down.
[00:30:50]  Start making a list.
[00:30:51]  I'm a little like Santa if he were on a jihad.
[00:30:56]  And because I made a list and it's a long list and I've checked it twice.
[00:31:02]  Now, this is just the list of the system.
[00:31:06]  Okay.
[00:31:07]  Everybody is freaking about Somalis.
[00:31:10]  I suggest we start looking at the system because this far outnumbers the Somalis that were involved, I think.
[00:31:19]  So.
[00:31:20]  Who should be called in for questioning?
[00:31:23]  Who should be worried tonight?
[00:31:24]  This is another reason why they can set the state on fire and nobody in government's going to say a word.
[00:31:31]  So who needs to be questioned?
[00:31:33]  Who most likely at least knew and failed to say anything?
[00:31:37]  I'm not saying they're complicit, but they at least knew and failed to say anything.
[00:31:42]  You got to question the program directors, the division directors who oversee child nutrition, daycare reimbursement, grant or the grant administration, the payment approval managers and supervisors.
[00:31:56]  These are the people who can override a hold and approve exceptions.
[00:32:01]  If something's hinky, you got to talk to the people who went, now don't worry about it.
[00:32:05]  Okay.
[00:32:07]  The contract grant officers and their supervising chain, because there's exceptions.
[00:32:13]  Something was hinky and all of somebody said, hey, this doesn't look right.
[00:32:17]  And somebody else had to say, don't worry about it.
[00:32:20]  Okay.
[00:32:21]  The internal audit leadership that is assigned to all of those agencies.
[00:32:27]  These are people who possibly will face jail time if the universe worked the way it should.
[00:32:32]  The compliance and integrity units inside the agencies.
[00:32:38]  Anybody who is involved in integrity and the integrity office.
[00:32:43]  The agency general counsel.
[00:32:46]  All of the people in the agencies who are like, are we doing anything illegal here?
[00:32:50]  Can we get by with all of this stuff?
[00:32:52]  Any legal review staff involved in the escalations.
[00:32:57]  The state finance people, the budget oversight personnel, anybody who would see abnormal burn rates of that money and the concentrations of that money and go, something's not right here.
[00:33:08]  Because the system, remember, the system is designed to look for things outside of the pattern.
[00:33:15]  That's how you spot fraud.
[00:33:17]  So everything has been designed to spot this.
[00:33:20]  This isn't something like, well, we never saw airplanes flying into buildings.
[00:33:24]  Nobody ever thought of that.
[00:33:26]  We thought of fraud.
[00:33:27]  So there are tripwires everywhere.
[00:33:30]  You need to question the inspector general, anybody who had oversight functions, okay?
[00:33:37]  Federal funding and oversight interfaces.
[00:33:39]  So now this is the next level.
[00:33:41]  This goes from the state to the federal.
[00:33:43]  The USDA program oversight and compliance liaisons tied to the program streams.
[00:33:49]  The federal and state coordination points responsible for responding to audit findings or corrective action plans.
[00:33:56]  So now the auditors who are like, hey, there's something hinky here.
[00:34:01]  Then you go to the banks, the bank managers at the branches, the regional operations manager where high volume cash activity was occurring.
[00:34:12]  The Bank Secrecy Act, the AML investigators assigned to the accounts, anybody where there was a yellow ticket that went up, who was advised, who was assigned to look into that and why didn't you act on that?
[00:34:26]  The yellow ticket committees, the governance groups, the senior compliance leadership, that's regional and the local and the state bank, the risk officers, the compliance officers, anybody who was looking at legal and risk.
[00:34:43]  You know, should we keep this customer?
[00:34:45]  Because there is a risk here.
[00:34:46]  Are we going to be held responsible?
[00:34:48]  the correspondent banking, the wire risk teams.
[00:34:53]  When you send a wire, I want to look at everybody who was involved in sending that wire.
[00:34:57]  I want to look at all of the risk teams and what they said, what they did.
[00:35:01]  Anybody who is moving money internationally or through high-risk corridors, how did you do that?
[00:35:08]  How did you move money just to Somalia?
[00:35:11]  That alone sends up red flags.
[00:35:15]  Then you get to the TSA and the airport.
[00:35:19]  I want to question everybody in the TSA, the supervisory chain, anybody who was responsible for noticing patterns.
[00:35:28]  The airport security operations management.
[00:35:32]  The people who are responsible for reporting and receiving the reports on anything out of line.
[00:35:39]  Any joint task force liaison roles that interfaced with repeated cash move.
[00:35:44]  You know they were getting calls.
[00:35:46]  And if they didn't, I want to know why.
[00:35:47]  Who made that call to say don't make the calls anymore?
[00:35:51]  The currency reporting enforcement from our border patrol, from our customs, why didn't they, why weren't they involved?
[00:36:04]  Or were they?
[00:36:05]  Any kind of outbound international cash?
[00:36:07]  That should have shown up with our customs.
[00:36:10]  Why did no one in customs say anything?
[00:36:14]  Then you have the prosecutors, the agency investigators who documented early red flags.
[00:36:21]  Why weren't they listened to?
[00:36:22]  Who said, shut up about this?
[00:36:24]  Supervisors who decided whether to refer, escalate, or pause payments.
[00:36:29]  Was there anybody in line that said, hey, we need to check this out before we send any more money here?
[00:36:35]  Any task force leadership coordinating multi-agency response timelines?
[00:36:41]  Okay.
[00:36:43]  That's me at home last night just ranting.
[00:36:49]  You know who else?
[00:36:50]  What happened to this people?
[00:36:51]  Why in customs doing it?
[00:36:53]  Why did the person on the front line, who did they report to?
[00:36:56]  Who did they report to?
[00:36:57]  Who stopped them from $700 million?
[00:37:00]  Who in Washington was saying, uh-uh, uh-uh, don't look into, did it make it to Washington?
[00:37:05]  If it didn't make it to Washington, how come it didn't make it to Washington?
[00:37:09]  This shows the banking, the state, and the feds were completely every at best, every tripwire failed.
[00:37:21]  And there are hundreds of them.
[00:37:24]  I don't believe they failed.
[00:37:26]  People intentionally were either involved or they intentionally chose not to get involved.
[00:37:33]  You couple that with a state full of people that don't want to look into it now that it's been exposed and are willing to look at the people who did this to them and say, yeah, I want to march in the streets.
[00:37:51]  I want to put my body in front of the feds who are doing investigations, who are trying to do this.
[00:37:56]  I want to put my body in front of them to protect Tim Walz and his cronies or the people at the airport or the people at the banks.
[00:38:05]  There's something deeply wrong.
[00:38:07]  And you do not heal this society until you heal the people who were not involved, but who are willing to look the other way at this point.
[00:38:19]  There's no hope for Minnesota unless you can turn the people and have them go, wow, I'm sorry.

=== Healing Society Through Radical Accountability (03:31) ===

[00:38:26]  I was blind for a minute.
[00:38:27]  I don't know what happened to me.
[00:38:30]  You'll never solve this.
[00:38:31]  And it will only get worse.
[00:38:35]  Do not accept the lies that Tim Walz and Keith Ellison are now trying to get you to believe that this is all the feds and their hatred for Muslims or their hatred of Somalis.
[00:38:47]  It's not.
[00:38:48]  I haven't even mentioned the Somalis.
[00:38:52]  They're the least of my worries.
[00:38:55]  Back in just a minute.
[00:38:59]  So we've all gotten used to communication that assumes everything else is working just fine.
[00:39:03]  You know, the cell towers are up.
[00:39:05]  Internet is stable.
[00:39:06]  Power is on.
[00:39:08]  And, you know, as long as all that holds, we're fine.
[00:39:12]  We don't even think twice about it.
[00:39:13]  The problem is when things start to go wrong, communication is usually one of the first things that go down along with it.
[00:39:19]  Towers get overloaded, signals drop, batteries die, and then suddenly the one thing you really need, a way to reach people, is gone.
[00:39:29]  That's why rapid radios were invented.

[00:40:24]  more glenn back straight ahead one of the first purchases i ever made when i made any money at all was a really nice bet and And I had this bed for a really, really long time to the point where my wife was driving me crazy, saying that we need to get rid of it.

[00:42:30]  She's my chief content officer on Torch and all things, Glenn Beck.
[00:42:35]  You were doing research while I'm talking.
[00:42:36]  What were you doing?
[00:42:37]  Yeah, I'm listening to you talk about, you give this list of everyone that should be convicted.
[00:42:42]  And so I asked Grock while you were talking to give me a list of everyone that has been convicted and what their occupations are because I'm trying to see if there's any real white callers here.
[00:42:52]  Nonprofit executives, meal site operators, service providers, business owners and social services, consultants, vendors, or shell company operators.
[00:43:02]  No banking.
[00:43:03]  Yeah, so what's going to happen long term if we don't actually roll some banking heads?
[00:43:08]  Well, if you don't roll banking heads, the same thing that's going to happen that happened after 2008 will happen again.
[00:43:16]  They don't learn.
[00:43:19]  The banking system has no way to learn.
[00:43:22]  Ow, don't touch the stove because nothing's ever hot for them.
[00:43:26]  They get away with everything.
[00:43:29]  We must be looking at the banking services.
[00:43:33]  Why the hell weren't you raising red flags and saying, I can't do business here.
[00:43:39]  This is wrong.

[00:45:43]  Hello, America.
[00:45:44]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[00:45:46]  If you missed last hour, it is epic.
[00:45:49]  You need to listen to it.
[00:45:51]  Make sure you just go and find it at Glennbeck.com today and watch the podcast because I went in on a jihad, a banking jihad.

=== Banking Jihad in Minnesota (14:52) ===

[00:46:03]  I am so disgusted by what is happening in Minnesota.
[00:46:08]  And it's not the Somalis.
[00:46:11]  You know, it is what the administration, you know, the governor and his cronies are doing just to cover their tracks.
[00:46:20]  But I am so disgusted by the banks because the banks, for instance, do you think the banks don't know who the cartels are?
[00:46:29]  You don't think the banks know where the money is?
[00:46:32]  You don't think the banks are, there's somebody in the banks like, look, somebody's going to take this money.
[00:46:38]  It might as well be us.
[00:46:39]  But what is our liability?
[00:46:40]  I don't know.
[00:46:41]  get with the lawyers, find out what the liability is, and just reduce our risk, but take the money.
[00:46:46]  Of course, of course, that's happening.
[00:46:48]  Wait until I show you a chalkboard I did earlier this morning about Mo's Apple Farm and Ming's Apple Juice Company and how the banks are involved in getting the Apple's aka oil from Iran to China.
[00:47:05]  The banks were involved and they know and they're they're doing everything they can to circumvent and short-circuit all of our laws so people are in compliance.
[00:47:17]  It's despicable.
[00:47:20]  Banks are going to be involved in this this hour as well because we have Seamus Bruner on.
[00:47:26]  He is the Seamus is a guy with the Government Accountability Institute.
[00:47:30]  That's Peter Schweizer's Institute.
[00:47:33]  These guys are holding the government accountable.
[00:47:36]  And I will tell you in the next few minutes, you're going to understand why Elon Musk was the number one target of the left.
[00:47:45]  You'll understand why they had to break that team up, why they had to discredit.
[00:47:50]  You'll understand why when they came after, you know, USAID that you had Chuck Schumer and everybody else just reading them the riot act.
[00:48:03]  How dare you take down this institution started by John F. Kennedy?
[00:48:07]  Because it is a funding source.
[00:48:09]  I'm going to show you how these riots and the things that are going on in America are funded with hundreds of millions of dollars from the usual suspects, but he's going to outline 100 million of it at least is coming from you and your tax dollars.
[00:48:28]  You are funding some of the riots on the streets.
[00:48:33]  That's why you have to get rid of Elon Musk.
[00:48:35]  That's why you have to shut Donald Trump down.
[00:48:38]  That's why you have to have riots on the streets to distract everybody from what really happened in Minnesota.
[00:48:45]  We're going to talk to Seamus here in just a minute.
[00:48:47]  We'll do that.
[00:48:48]  First, let me tell you about SimplySafe.
[00:48:50]  Security is one of those things most people put off because it feels really complicated.
[00:48:54]  Contracts, installations, cameras, you have to wire, monitor, maintain.
[00:48:58]  So a lot of homes just hope for the best.
[00:49:02]  If that's not the problem, you just think it's going to be wildly expensive and you can't afford it and nothing's going to happen to me.
[00:49:08]  Problem is, hope is not a plan.
[00:49:10]  And by the time you realize you need a plan, it's too late to set it up.
[00:49:13]  SimplySafe was built to fix those problems.
[00:49:16]  It is a home security system designed to be easy to install.
[00:49:20]  I've done it.
[00:49:21]  Now, they say it takes 30 minutes.
[00:49:23]  I am not handy at all.
[00:49:25]  It took me about 45 minutes.
[00:49:27]  I can do it.
[00:49:27]  I mean, honestly, frogs could install this.
[00:49:32]  No locked-in contracts, just sensors, cameras, monitoring, and it works the way you expect it to work at a price that is so much lower than everybody else.
[00:49:42]  Set it up yourself in minutes.
[00:49:43]  Customize it for your home.
[00:49:44]  Monitor everything from a single app, doors, windows, motion cameras, and everything.
[00:49:49]  And professional monitoring to respond 24-7.
[00:49:53]  Right now, get 50% off any new system this month only at simplysafe.com slash back.
[00:49:59]  That's simplysafe.com slash back.
[00:50:01]  There is no safe like simply safe.
[00:50:05]  Seamus.
[00:50:06]  Seamus, how are you, sir?
[00:50:08]  I am very well, Glenn.
[00:50:10]  How are you?
[00:50:10]  I am very good.
[00:50:11]  Seamus, isn't Seamus the name of the guy, this is a weird reference.
[00:50:16]  Do you remember Back to the Future where they go back to the Wild West and I think his relative is Seamus?
[00:50:22]  Yes, Uncle Seamus.
[00:50:24]  That's right.
[00:50:25]  A few popular culture up there.
[00:50:27]  Yeah, okay, good.
[00:50:28]  So, Seamus, thank you so much.
[00:50:31]  I so respect your partner in Peter Schweizer.
[00:50:37]  You guys have done such groundbreaking work, and I love it because honestly, a few years ago, you were hated by both sides.
[00:50:47]  Now you're just really despised by the left because they think you're in the bag for the left, but you guys go after the right as well.
[00:50:54]  And that is always a sign to me that we're dealing with honest people.
[00:50:59]  This story that you are going to share with us is really disheartening, but at least we're uncovering it and something that Peter has been working on.
[00:51:13]  I've been working on to uncover for a very long time.
[00:51:17]  And now it looks like we have the receipts.
[00:51:18]  And is it because of Scott Besend?
[00:51:22]  Well, he is a shining star in the administration.
[00:51:25]  I didn't think I'd say that knowing he had been in business with Soros previously, but he is really doing amazing work.
[00:51:33]  I met with him between you and me last week.
[00:51:35]  He's got a task force.
[00:51:37]  We can't really talk about this on the air.
[00:51:39]  We are on the air, so you know.
[00:51:41]  Well, this is top secret stuff.
[00:51:44]  There is a task force.
[00:51:46]  He mentioned it in the Rufo interview, which is fantastic.
[00:51:49]  Sorry about that, Glenn.
[00:51:50]  I thought we were on break.
[00:51:51]  But it's great to chat with you in front of everybody.
[00:51:55]  Yeah, well, thank you, Glenn.
[00:51:57]  The Treasury Department is the number one place to take out what we are calling Riot Inc., which is completely integrated with the Election Inc. and the Migration Inc.
[00:52:08]  What happens is the radical left, these big funding networks, which, by the way, Glenn, you have done more than anybody to expose the Arabella network, Soros Network.
[00:52:17]  You've been at it for a long time.
[00:52:19]  We're just really picking up where you've left off in some cases.
[00:52:22]  But they use your money as a force multiplier for their agenda.
[00:52:27]  Tides, for example, gets $50 plus million dollars of your taxpayer money.
[00:52:32]  The Rockefeller Network gets your taxpayer money, even the Soros Network.
[00:52:37]  And so what they do is they use that money.
[00:52:38]  They funnel it into, for example, migration to bring all these new voters in because these migrants will vote eventually.
[00:52:47]  And so when they, and just because of apportionment, by the way, there's 13 to 15 Democrat representatives in Congress from places like California.
[00:52:56]  So apportionment, illegal non-citizen voting, and then even after a couple of years, they get to vote legally.
[00:53:03]  That is the number one name of the game here.
[00:53:05]  And so it's the same investors, the Arabella Soros in the election, in the migration, and now with the rioting.
[00:53:11]  I think what Secretary Bessend has been saying, which is amazing, is that he's finally going after the investors in this.
[00:53:18]  The Treasury Department is going to be investigating the funders of chaos.
[00:53:23]  You know, we believe in the First Amendment right to protest reassemble.
[00:53:27]  But the things like, you know, who is providing the gas masks?
[00:53:30]  Who's providing the bricks and the tear gas and pepper spray?
[00:53:35]  This is very coordinated.
[00:53:37]  We saw it in Los Angeles.
[00:53:39]  We've seen it in Chicago, in Seattle, in Portland.
[00:53:42]  So I applaud what Secretary Besson's doing.
[00:53:45]  So, Seamus, I mean, I have been saying this since Occupy Wall Street, and I've said, where are these things coming from?
[00:53:53]  And I could lead tides all the way to a certain point, and I could lead the Occupy people to a certain point, but I could never get this is the purchase.
[00:54:04]  This is how I could always, I could always say, I mean, it doesn't take a moron to see that this is probably happening.
[00:54:11]  Have you been able to show, yes, this is how it's happening?
[00:54:15]  This is what is happening.
[00:54:18]  100% and example after example.
[00:54:20]  And you're right, it is very hard.
[00:54:21]  A lot of this is done in cash.
[00:54:23]  A lot of the Antifa, you know, the really, really violent bad guys, that's all cash, very hard to trace.
[00:54:29]  However, there's an example in Atlanta.
[00:54:32]  It was called Stop Cop City, where Rockefeller, Tides, they all funded this entity called Network for Strong Communities.
[00:54:40]  It was kind of just a pop-up shell company, shady address, looked like it might have been a Somali daycare type thing down in Atlanta.
[00:54:48]  But the Networks for Strong Community, its entire board and executive leadership were indicted on RICO, on domestic terrorism, on assaulting law enforcement.
[00:54:57]  And so that was an example where if you took away the Tides funding and you took away the Rockefeller funding and a couple other entities that all get Soros type money, this thing wouldn't exist.
[00:55:08]  And so that is probably, I would say, the most direct path to violence.
[00:55:11]  I mean, they were organizing and like with buying ammunition and guns and planning to kill law enforcement.
[00:55:20]  And so this is the kind of activity.
[00:55:21]  It's not peaceful protests.
[00:55:23]  It is violence.
[00:55:25]  And what you're hearing Secretary Besant say when he says that we're going to take them down like the mafia is RICO.
[00:55:33]  President Trump was the first to kind of put that out there with Need to Investigate Soros and George and his son Alex, much more important, his son Alex, because if Alex lives to the age of his father, we've got Soros as influencing our system for another 50 years.
[00:55:49]  That's the kind of thing that could really bring down the funding of violence and chaos.
[00:55:54]  Again, we support peaceful protests, but this kind of stuff out in Minneapolis and elsewhere is not that.
[00:56:00]  So take me through.
[00:56:02]  I mean, your research through Government Accountability Institute shows $100 million taxpayer funding.
[00:56:11]  It's gone to groups that are doing the protests and their riots across the country.
[00:56:16]  And these are groups like Arabella, Open Society, Towns Foundation, Tides Foundation.
[00:56:20]  So let's just say, play a game with me.
[00:56:22]  You're Arabella and you want to create some anti-ICE protests.
[00:56:27]  How are you getting the federal funding?
[00:56:30]  How are you getting the dollars from the federal government?
[00:56:32]  How do you get the ball rolling?
[00:56:34]  I mean, how do you get the money to the organizers on the ground?
[00:56:38]  How do you do that and stay clean?
[00:56:42]  Yeah, it's a great question.
[00:56:43]  And it's a lot cleaner a path than one might think.
[00:56:47]  Take the Tides, the whole Tides nexus.
[00:56:50]  I mean, there's half a dozen entities under any one of these umbrellas, whether it's Arabella, Soros, Tides, or others.
[00:56:57]  But Tides will have the Tides Center, and they'll say that we want to do education-related activities.
[00:57:03]  We want to get DEI textbooks into school.
[00:57:06]  Well, our foolish federal government will say, that sounds like a great idea.
[00:57:10]  Here's $5 million.
[00:57:11]  And then you add up all of these grants that they receive from the federal government.
[00:57:15]  They also get quite a bit from state governments, especially states like California.
[00:57:20]  And so it's ostensibly for some sort of education initiative or something like that.
[00:57:26]  USAID, obviously, was a huge funder of various activities in these networks.
[00:57:31]  They'll get that federal money, but then it goes into an account, and then they pay out from the same account.
[00:57:37]  I mean, Tides admitted this in court relating to BLM, that it's all just one bank account.
[00:57:43]  They'll pay out to a violent organization.
[00:57:46]  Now, I'll be clear, we've talked with the Arabella attorneys.
[00:57:50]  They say that, oh, we're totally clean here because we make every grant recipient sign a contract that I promise not to do a legal activity.
[00:57:58]  There's a couple problems with that, though, is one, you continue to fund them even after they've been exposed as committing illegal activity.
[00:58:06]  And number two, these same networks, Arabella, Soros, Tides, et cetera, are funding the bail funds.
[00:58:13]  So you can't really say that you don't know these guys are up to no good.
[00:58:18]  You're trying to get them back onto the streets as quickly as possible.
[00:58:22]  So when I was looking at Tides and some of these things in 2008, I remember because we had to do it before any kind of AI was assisting us at all.
[00:58:34]  And I remember getting a, uh, from a researcher, a, I mean, computer printout paper back in the day.
[00:58:42]  Um, and it was probably, I don't know, six or eight inches tall as a book, huge book.
[00:58:49]  And it was just who's donating, et cetera, et cetera.
[00:58:53]  And it was very complex and it was hard to track everything together.
[00:58:57]  Is it is it the use of AI and the tools that we have, or are they getting sloppy or a combination of both?
[00:59:04]  Well, I think they've gotten extremely confident that they're just above the law.
[00:59:09]  And you mentioned banks earlier.
[00:59:11]  I mean, they have the same lawyers that the banks have.
[00:59:14]  And those lawyers are people like Eric Holder, James Comey, the people who ran the Justice Department and FBI.
[00:59:21]  And so I think that they just believe that they're above the law.
[00:59:24]  I think they know that they will get a slap on the wrist because they've got the best attorneys money can buy.
[00:59:30]  But as far as going through and following the money, like you, I used all paper copies back on the Clinton cash investigation.
[00:59:38]  Schweitzer handed me a stack six inches thick of Clinton Foundation 990s and went through those by hand.
[00:59:45]  Once you can get them into some of these database tools, Power BI, Excel, too much nerd language for your audience, the sorting and the filtering and the totaling becomes much easier.
[00:59:57]  So we haven't used too much AI.
[00:59:58]  We built some Python scripts to help scrape the 990s faster.
[01:00:02]  But other than that, it's just digging through and then choosing entities and say, hey, networks for strong communities sound suspicious.
[01:00:09]  Let's look into them.
[01:00:10]  And I'm telling you, Glenn, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
[01:00:14]  More often than not, there is something shady going on, something corrupt, just like in Minneapolis with these daycares.
[01:00:20]  It's amazing to me.
[01:00:21]  And I'd love to get your comments.
[01:00:22]  I'm going to take a quick break, but I'd love to hear your comment on it's always the same, like 25 people.
[01:00:29]  It's always the same.
[01:00:31]  It's not that big.
[01:00:33]  It seems huge, but when you get to the very top of it, it's the same group of people.
[01:00:39]  Is it still that way?
[01:00:41]  It is.
[01:00:42]  It's actually not a very big club.
[01:00:44]  It's a pretty small club at the top of the radical left funding networks.
[01:00:48]  And obviously we're not in it.
[01:00:50]  Okay.
[01:00:51]  Back in just a second, more on this.
[01:00:52]  I'm going to have him take you through a chart here in just a second.

=== The Radical Left Funding Chart (14:58) ===

[01:00:55]  First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
[01:00:57]  Most of us don't notice how much pain shapes our day until we've been doing it for a long, long time.
[01:01:01]  You wake up stiff, you move a little slower than you used to.
[01:01:03]  Eventually, that becomes the normal.
[01:01:05]  Not because it should be, but because you've lived around it.
[01:01:09]  You've learned to just function and just dismiss it.
[01:01:14]  Relief Factor was created for people who are tired of managing pain and would rather address what's causing it.
[01:01:19]  It's a daily supplement designed to help your body fight inflammation, which is at the root of so many of our aches and our pains, our joint issues, et cetera.
[01:01:27]  It's not a quick mask or a temporary distraction.
[01:01:30]  It is about supporting your body over time so you can move more freely, sleep more comfortably, and get back doing the things without constantly negotiating with your own joints.
[01:01:40]  It's Relief Factor, 100% drug-free, targets the inflammation that causes pain so you can move better, feel better, and actually enjoy life again.
[01:01:47]  Try the three-week quick start.
[01:01:48]  It's 1995.
[01:01:49]  Go to relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or call 800 for relief.
[01:01:53]  See if you're the next person that can get out of pain.
[01:01:55]  It's relieffactor.com.
[01:01:57]  1-800-4-RELIEF.
[01:01:59]  10 seconds.
[01:01:59]  Station ID.
[01:02:11]  Seamus Bruner is with us from the GAI.
[01:02:15]  That is Peter Schweitzer's organization, the Government Accountability Institute, and they do unbelievable work.
[01:02:23]  You guys have been working on this for a long time, looking into Riot Inc. and who is funding all of this stuff.
[01:02:29]  Can you take us through the chart?
[01:02:30]  Can we put this up?
[01:02:31]  We'll have to explain it to the radio audience, but if you're watching as an insider at GlennBeck.com, put the chart up and explain what this chart is.
[01:02:42]  Overall breakup of the chart is Election Inc., Migration Inc., Riot Inc.
[01:02:48]  Yeah, so this started, Glenn, with the anti-ICE riots, our investigation here.
[01:02:54]  I mean, I wrote a book, Control Guards, all about the radical left NGOs that was a couple of years ago.
[01:03:00]  So I've been tracking these guys.
[01:03:02]  But when the anti-ICE riots broke out, right basically when Donald Trump came in and throughout the spring and summer of last year, we said, enough is enough.
[01:03:13]  We've got to really dig into who's funding this.
[01:03:15]  So we started looking into Riot Inc.
[01:03:18]  And you notice there on the chart, it's that little green sliver.
[01:03:23]  And what became increasingly obvious, because we've done a number of election integrity investigations and found, you know, just like you, it's the same people funding the get out the vote and the ballot harvesting and all of that.
[01:03:36]  And then just because of like, why is there this distinct anti-ICE flavor to these protests?
[01:03:42]  And why does it have the same investors in the migration and the election and the riot?
[01:03:46]  And it seems pretty obvious.
[01:03:48]  And the final piece, I believe, is this what Nick Shirley exposed in Minnesota with these child day, you know, these empty daycare centers is it's obvious.
[01:03:58]  It's right in our face.
[01:03:59]  The left, they bribe new voters with welfare.
[01:04:03]  They try to create a new dependent class.
[01:04:04]  They're hoping that they'll vote blue for the rest of their lives.
[01:04:08]  And so by bringing in more people, that's that biggest slice, or the big, you know, the blue slice, bringing more people.
[01:04:15]  The orange slice there, the biggest part of the pie, more than half, is the election.
[01:04:19]  And so it's this pipeline from the border to the ballot box.
[01:04:24]  And how they can believe that these new migrants are going to vote blue is they just bribe them with welfare.
[01:04:30]  I mean, millions and billions of dollars of welfare with zero oversight, zero accountability.
[01:04:36]  And so it's really insidious.
[01:04:38]  I mean, this is a whole subversion, like wrapped into one.
[01:04:42]  And these people need, you know, these funders really, they know what they're doing, obviously.
[01:04:47]  Oh.
[01:04:47]  I mean, you're just this guy, this attorney general talking about how they were meeting every single day looking how to thwart Donald Trump.
[01:04:56]  And I think the major thing they're concerned about is him disrupting this border-to-ballot box pipeline.
[01:05:03]  So, Seamus, I am about to go on a Pambandi jihad here in the next couple of weeks because I'm just not seeing our DOJ doing enough.
[01:05:14]  Are we going to see people go to jail for this?
[01:05:17]  Well, if we don't, Glenn, it's going to be the end of our country.
[01:05:20]  I mean, if people don't go to jail, I mean, Americans are fed up.
[01:05:24]  They feel like suckers.
[01:05:26]  They look at the massive amounts of fraud everybody's going into work.
[01:05:29]  People are at work right now, you know, busting their tails, trying to make ends meet.
[01:05:34]  And then you get these non-citizens who come to our country, set up a fraudulent daycare.
[01:05:39]  They need to be rounding them up by the thousands, but not just the low-level.
[01:05:44]  I mean, it's kind of expected that you bring someone from a country like Somalia where fraud and bribery is all endemic and it's just kind of part of the culture, as even the New York Times reported, by the way.
[01:05:53]  Even the New York Times reported that, well, this is kind of part of the culture over there.
[01:05:57]  I don't really so much blame them as much as I blame the Tim Walzes and ultimately the funders.
[01:06:03]  Seamus, thank you so much.
[01:06:05]  I'd love to have you back.
[01:06:06]  I'd like to have you into the studio with charts and everything.
[01:06:09]  And maybe we can even do a special with some of this information.
[01:06:13]  It is so important.
[01:06:14]  Thank you so much.
[01:06:15]  We'll talk again, my friend.

[01:06:37]  We'll try to have this up for you as a story today.
[01:06:40]  Money stress has a way of hiding in plain sight.
[01:06:43]  It's not always a crisis.
[01:06:44]  It's more of a constant hum in the background.
[01:06:46]  The credit cards that never seem to go down, the payments that stack up, the feeling that you're working hard, doing everything right, and you're still not getting ahead.
[01:06:52]  For a lot of people, that stress is tied directly to their mortgage.
[01:06:56]  Rates change, life changes.
[01:06:58]  But the loan you took out years ago just keeps chugging along.
[01:07:01]  So whether you're in that situation now or you soon will be, take that stress and get rid of it.
[01:07:07]  There's American financing, and these people are really, really good.

[01:07:37]  What does Glenn AI have to say regarding who's funding these revolutions?
[01:07:41]  Glenn's done many chalkboards on this.
[01:07:43]  Listen to that podcast now only at glennbeck.com.
[01:08:09]  I want to talk to you.
[01:08:11]  Well, I don't know.
[01:08:12]  I've got so many things on my plate today that I don't know if we can finish everything.
[01:08:16]  I have, and I just need a real quick call from Ricky and Jason.
[01:08:21]  And Jason, you've been talking to the insiders all day at Glennbeck.com with the torch.
[01:08:27]  Can you tell me I've got some stuff on Sharia law that's happening here in America and how important that is.
[01:08:39]  And I also have the story of Ming and Mo and how it's a chalkboard on what's really happening in Iran and the responsibility the banks play a little bit.
[01:08:53]  Well, as a producer, I like flow.
[01:08:57]  And so this segment on the chalkboard of flows nicely out of this Seamus segment.
[01:09:02]  Okay.
[01:09:04]  Jason, what are the insiders saying today?
[01:09:06]  Well, I told the insiders at the very beginning, if I had to put a theme on this broadcast, I was saying it was making complicated subjects easy to understand.
[01:09:15]  And that screams the tale of Ming and Mo to me.
[01:09:19]  Okay.
[01:09:20]  All right.
[01:09:21]  So I was thinking of Iran yesterday and where are they in the cycle of collapse?
[01:09:31]  Is it going to happen?
[01:09:33]  How likely is it going to happen?
[01:09:36]  And a friend of mine, a dear friend of mine, sent me something that is kind of a white paper on oil and Iran and what's really going on in Iran.
[01:09:49]  And I'm reading this last night and I'm like, oh my gosh, this is fabulous.
[01:09:52]  But it took me a while to get through it and understand it.
[01:09:55]  So I'm going to do my best to break this down into a way that you can understand.
[01:10:01]  And I'll give you an important part of it.
[01:10:05]  Because something happened in China with oil and it revolves around the teapot refineries.
[01:10:13]  You can look that up.
[01:10:14]  The teapot refineries.
[01:10:16]  So let me tell you a story.
[01:10:20]  We're going to tell you the story of Mo, definitely not Mohammed, and Ming, Mo and Ming.
[01:10:26]  Mo is an apple farmer and he starts out small.
[01:10:31]  He has a few trees, a few crates.
[01:10:33]  He works hard and everything.
[01:10:36]  And he reinvests all the time.
[01:10:37]  He plants more trees.
[01:10:39]  He buys more land.
[01:10:40]  He takes out loans for trucks and storage and refrigeration.
[01:10:43]  And he's not reckless.
[01:10:45]  He's doing what everybody tells him to do.
[01:10:47]  Grow.
[01:10:48]  Just keep growing your business.
[01:10:51]  And he becomes bigger and bigger.
[01:10:54]  And it becomes like the thing.
[01:10:58]  You got to have the apples selling to be able to keep his community stable.
[01:11:03]  Well, one day something incredible happens.
[01:11:06]  A massive single grocery chain picks up Mo's apples.
[01:11:12]  Not a few apples, all of the apples, which is good because what I didn't tell you about Mo is he thinks he's a good guy, but he's pissed every other apple store off in the world.
[01:11:24]  Nobody wants Mo's apples.
[01:11:27]  So he's got like this big farm and he's got all these apples and nobody wants to buy his apples.
[01:11:32]  And Ming shows up and he's like, you know what?
[01:11:34]  We love that.
[01:11:35]  Of course, we take your apples.
[01:11:36]  We're going to make them into apple cider and apple juice.
[01:11:38]  So we're going to refine them a little bit, but we love your apples.
[01:11:43]  Well, suddenly he's not selling at the roadside anymore.
[01:11:46]  He's scaling.
[01:11:47]  He's expanding.
[01:11:48]  He's borrowing more because the demand is guaranteed.
[01:11:50]  Demand is guaranteed.
[01:11:52]  He's got somebody who wants to buy it forever.
[01:11:54]  The trucks are finances, the finance, the warehouses are leased.
[01:11:57]  The future looks locked in and it's great.
[01:12:00]  As long as Ming needs apple juice, he's got the apples for Ming.
[01:12:06]  Keeps planting trees, producing apples, keeps moving.
[01:12:11]  But he doesn't have cash piling up in the vault.
[01:12:15]  He's operating on assumed flow.
[01:12:19]  As long as apples are leaving his farm, as long as the trucks keep rolling in, as long as the store keeps accepting deliveries, that's fine.
[01:12:26]  The bank is calm.
[01:12:27]  The lenders are satisfied.
[01:12:29]  The workers get paid.
[01:12:30]  Everything is great.
[01:12:31]  But then one day, without any warning, look up teapot refineries, the store calls.
[01:12:39]  Ming calls and says, ah, yeah.
[01:12:41]  He's not angry.
[01:12:42]  He's not being political.
[01:12:43]  It's not a moral thing.
[01:12:45]  It's just business.
[01:12:46]  Ming says, yeah, we can't take any more apples.
[01:12:50]  We're at capacity.
[01:12:51]  And Mo's like, what do you mean you're at capacity?
[01:12:54]  Don't you need apples?
[01:12:55]  Yeah, we need lots of apples, but we have to make them into apple cider and apple juice.
[01:12:59]  And we're just at capacity right now.
[01:13:01]  So we can't take them because we have a very bureaucratic system.
[01:13:04]  And, you know, global warming.
[01:13:06]  And Mo's like, global warming?
[01:13:09]  Yeah, yeah.
[01:13:09]  So we can't take any more of your apples.
[01:13:13]  Well, Mo is like, what the hell am I going to do?
[01:13:17]  You need apples.
[01:13:18]  Yep, yep, but we can't take the volume anymore.
[01:13:21]  Suddenly, the problem is not demand, it's capacity.
[01:13:26]  There's nobody that will take his apples except them and they're out of space.
[01:13:30]  They can't take them anymore.
[01:13:32]  No alternative.
[01:13:33]  There's nobody else that wants to buy, nobody big enough to absorb the volume and no other store can take them.
[01:13:40]  Nobody's buying.
[01:13:42]  The apples are still coming off the tree, but they have nowhere to go.
[01:13:45]  In fact, they are in the trucks.
[01:13:48]  Let's say they're shadow fleet of trucks.
[01:13:53]  And he's got them all over the world.
[01:13:55]  And now he's shipping them, but nobody can take the oil.
[01:13:59]  He can't transport oil.
[01:14:00]  He's got nothing.
[01:14:02]  So he's got these trucks that were on their way to Ming's and now they're just parked on the sides of the road.
[01:14:09]  And they're just sitting there.
[01:14:11]  And now the police are like, why are all these trucks on the sides of the roads?
[01:14:16]  I mean, check that truck out.
[01:14:17]  What are you doing there?
[01:14:18]  Then they realize, wait a minute, you don't have a license to ship apples.
[01:14:22]  In fact, you don't have a license on this truck.
[01:14:25]  This truck isn't, what are you doing?
[01:14:27]  They impound the trucks.
[01:14:29]  They lose the trucks.
[01:14:32]  The trucks begin to stack up.
[01:14:35]  Everything's gone because now he's also losing the trucks.
[01:14:39]  Okay.
[01:14:41]  He didn't fail because he was bad at farming.
[01:14:44]  His entire operation was built around one buyer and that buyer hit a ceiling and it happened all at once.
[01:14:52]  Okay.
[01:14:53]  Now.
[01:14:54]  What we don't think about is that he never actually owned any of the trucks.
[01:14:59]  He never owned anything.
[01:15:01]  Okay.
[01:15:01]  He didn't own the tractors or the warehouses.
[01:15:03]  The banks did.
[01:15:05]  And the banks never trusted the farmer.
[01:15:07]  The banks trusted his business partner.
[01:15:10]  And so his business partner had the insurance policy.
[01:15:14]  Every truck, every warehouse, everything.
[01:15:16]  The business partner was the one.
[01:15:18]  Oh, and I forgot to tell you, this is a part that'll piss you off if you know that we're talking about oil and Ming is actually the refinery in China and Mo is the oil in Iran.
[01:15:29]  But I didn't say that.
[01:15:30]  I'm talking about apples.
[01:15:32]  Once you understand this and I say, wait a minute, what do you mean the bank didn't trust Iran?
[01:15:39]  I mean, Mo.
[01:15:40]  What do you mean they trusted Ming?
[01:15:43]  And they were the ones writing the loans.
[01:15:45]  They were the ones covering the insurance.
[01:15:47]  They were doing everything.
[01:15:48]  They covered everything so Mo could exist.

=== Global Banks Keep Bad People (06:08) ===

[01:15:53]  Yeah.
[01:15:54]  They covered all the transit insurance, everything.
[01:16:00]  Because Mo wasn't actually selling the apples to Ming.
[01:16:08]  He was doing a barter system.
[01:16:13]  This is why I'm on a jihad for the banks.
[01:16:15]  He did a barter system.
[01:16:17]  Wait a minute.
[01:16:17]  Hang on just a second.
[01:16:19]  What do you mean he didn't pay for the China didn't pay for that oil, the apples?
[01:16:23]  No.
[01:16:24]  No, because that would be illegal.
[01:16:28]  There's an embargo on that oil.
[01:16:30]  You can't buy that oil.
[01:16:32]  Banks knew that.
[01:16:34]  The insurance companies knew that.
[01:16:36]  You can't put that tanker out there because you're going to buy this oil.
[01:16:39]  No, no, no, says the bankers.
[01:16:42]  You know what?
[01:16:44]  If you don't pay cash, if there's no money exchanging hands, well, you can take that oil.
[01:16:52]  Yeah, but how do I pay Mo?
[01:16:53]  Well, you could pay Mo by giving him more trucks.
[01:16:57]  You could pay him by, you know, setting him up in business and helping him buy other things that he needs.
[01:17:04]  You could give those to him.
[01:17:05]  You could barter.
[01:17:06]  You can do those things.
[01:17:07]  You can send people in to help him build his infrastructure.
[01:17:10]  You can do that.
[01:17:11]  And instead, he just gives you that oil.
[01:17:13]  So there's no money changing hands.
[01:17:15]  That way, we haven't violated any international law, says the banker.
[01:17:22]  And we're fine.
[01:17:23]  We have no exposure here.
[01:17:25]  The banks are fine.
[01:17:27]  The insurance companies in Switzerland, they're fine because there's no exposure.
[01:17:32]  They're not breaking the law.
[01:17:35]  Oh my gosh.
[01:17:36]  This is enough to give me a brain aneurysm.
[01:17:44]  Wait, what?
[01:17:47]  So here's where the story turns a little darker than that.
[01:17:51]  The farmer, Mo, he has sons, and each one ran a different part of his farm.
[01:17:57]  One handled security, one handled distribution, one handled the relationship with the big store.
[01:18:02]  One was just skimming off the top and built himself a nice little house at the edge of the property.
[01:18:08]  Every single, and he had a lot of relatives.
[01:18:10]  Every single relative had something to do with that farm.
[01:18:14]  And for years, they all got along because they loved each other.
[01:18:18]  No, they actually just were selling apples and everybody could get along.
[01:18:21]  They'd kill each other at night if they could, but now the apples aren't selling.
[01:18:26]  So the arguments have begun.
[01:18:28]  One son says, sell them land while it's worth something.
[01:18:30]  Another says, no, hold on, the store might come back.
[01:18:32]  Another one says, no, you know what?
[01:18:34]  I'm not with either of you and starts moving equipment out of the barn in the middle of the night.
[01:18:38]  And he's just going to get onto a plane and disappear at some point.
[01:18:42]  Everybody's still wearing the Moe's Apple Farm uniform, but nobody believes in the farm anymore.
[01:18:51]  This is when things fracture.
[01:18:53]  This is when countries go down because each son stops asking, how do we save the farm?
[01:18:58]  And they start asking, how do I get out before it collapses?
[01:19:03]  The farm doesn't change hands in a ceremony.
[01:19:05]  It just empties out.
[01:19:07]  And it empties out of the sons first, the ones who were kind of owning, had a big role in the farm.
[01:19:17]  Because the farm workers, the other ones, they never liked Mo.
[01:19:21]  And they're on strike because now they're not making any money.
[01:19:24]  Everything is seemingly collapsing and they're stuck there.
[01:19:27]  They can't get on a plane in the middle of the night.
[01:19:29]  They haven't been paid.
[01:19:30]  They're angry.
[01:19:31]  They're tired of promises.
[01:19:32]  They're tired of Mo.
[01:19:34]  The farmer now can't even walk the orchard at night because his security won't even keep him safe.
[01:19:40]  There's still pockets that will do it.
[01:19:43]  He can't inspect the trees.
[01:19:44]  He can't fix what's broken if he ever could.
[01:19:48]  And he's distracted instead of paying attention to the next person.
[01:19:52]  He is having to pay attention to the protests that are out in front of his gate and everything begins to rot.
[01:20:02]  This is what's happening in Iran.
[01:20:06]  The banks kept them alive.
[01:20:09]  The banks found a way with China to get around the international law and keep that oil flowing.
[01:20:15]  And there is a kill switch.
[01:20:17]  And I'll get into that some other point.
[01:20:18]  There is a kill switch that if they flip that switch, then those sanctions actually get serious and then it's over.
[01:20:25]  And it'll be over in a month.
[01:20:27]  It'll be over in a month.
[01:20:29]  If this scenario is right, because there's something wrong with the teapot refineries, I don't know what it is yet, but I'm just trying to make sense of this white paper that I read about the teapot refineries.
[01:20:41]  And I don't know exactly, because they're saying it's partly global warming.
[01:20:45]  No, it's not.
[01:20:45]  That's bullcrap.
[01:20:46]  And you and I both know it.
[01:20:47]  China doesn't care about global warming.
[01:20:50]  So what is happening?
[01:20:52]  All I can tell you is what I got out of this whole story was you were sitting here watching again another story about global banks keeping really bad people in position because they get a cut and they'll walk away in the end and they'll have their cut.
[01:21:13]  They'll have made their money.
[01:21:15]  Screw Mo and Ming.
[01:21:18]  Screw the workers.
[01:21:19]  They don't even come up on anybody's radar.
[01:21:22]  That's why we need to pray for the workers.
[01:21:24]  We need to be supporting the workers because Mo and Ming have never been honest and the bankers certainly have never been honest.
[01:21:33]  It's seemingly every day I find another reason to look at these banks and say, we got to clean these places out.
[01:21:42]  From Epstein to China to Venezuela, the drug cartels, all over to Riot Inc.
[01:21:51]  I think the problem is really starting to be very apparent.
[01:21:54]  The problem is at the bank.
[01:21:58]  They're enabling everybody.
[01:22:01]  More in a minute.

=== Burn a Launcher for Metabolic Health (04:15) ===

[01:22:02]  Let me tell you about burn a launcher.
[01:22:03]  Boy, try to beat me and get a loan today.
[01:22:05]  One of the biggest mistakes people make about personal defense is thinking that it has to be extreme to be effective.
[01:22:11]  And it doesn't.
[01:22:12]  It doesn't have to be complicated, heavy, hard to live with, or deadly.
[01:22:15]  It doesn't.
[01:22:17]  You know, there is something if you, if you know, if you really, if it's deadly, you're out at the range all the time.
[01:22:24]  If you don't have time, then it sits in a drawer because you don't want it.
[01:22:27]  You don't want to pull that thing if you're not ready to use it.
[01:22:29]  Real safety doesn't have to be that way.
[01:22:31]  Tools that actually help are the ones that you will carry, the ones that you don't have to psych yourself up to use, the ones that will fit into your day without ever taking your day over.
[01:22:40]  And it's exactly why Burna has their compact launcher.
[01:22:43]  It's why they exist.
[01:22:44]  It's small enough to go with you anywhere, light enough that it's not a burden, simple enough that you don't have to overthink it.
[01:22:50]  And when something feels off, you don't need a manual.
[01:22:53]  You need options.
[01:22:54]  And that option is right there.
[01:22:55]  It's the compact launcher from Burna, non-lethal, legal in all 50 states, and does not require a permit anywhere.
[01:23:03]  That means no red tape, no second guessing, and no, I'll deal with this one later.
[01:23:08]  It's ready when you are.

[01:23:34]  We'll be right back.
[01:23:46]  One of the biggest frustrations people have with food isn't hunger.
[01:23:50]  It's the predictability of it all, right?
[01:23:51]  Like you see, you eat something that you think is going to be good, and for an hour later, you're foggy or you're sluggish or you're reaching for something else just to get you through the afternoon.
[01:24:00]  That cycle wears you down a lot faster than people realize.
[01:24:03]  Health code was built to break that pattern by focusing on how your body actually responds to what you eat, not how impressive the label looks.
[01:24:12]  It's designed to provide steady fuel so that you're not riding waves of energy and crashes all day long.
[01:24:17]  This is developed by Dr. Ben Bickman.
[01:24:20]  He's a metabolic scientist.
[01:24:21]  He created Health Code a while ago after researching why so many people feel tired and unfocused despite making good choices.
[01:24:30]  What kept showing up in the data over and over again was metabolic health, you know, blood sugar stability, insulin response, and whether meals were helping the body stay balanced or if they were putting them in a constant state of recovery.
[01:24:42]  Health code is a nutritionally complete meal shake built around those findings.
[01:24:47]  It prioritizes protein, healthy fats, low carbs, no sugar.
[01:24:53]  And, you know, this is really important stuff.
[01:24:55]  It helps support your metabolic health, your gut health, your brain health, all at the same time without relying on artificial fillers or empty calories.
[01:25:02]  For a lot of people, it becomes the most reliable meal of the day, and that consistency makes a big difference.

[01:25:13]  ShakeSavings.com I am sorry to be the one that may be the first to tell you that we have lost a dear, dear friend and an icon.
[01:25:42]  Scott Adams has just passed away.
[01:25:45]  He was the creator of Dilbert and so much more.
[01:25:49]  And he has been fighting a battle very publicly.
[01:25:54]  And he just lost his fight.
[01:25:56]  And give me a second to collect myself.
[01:25:59]  And I want to share a message about his life and what it meant to me and so many of us all around the world.
[01:26:13]  Sleep well.
[01:26:15]  Live again.
[01:26:16]  Scott Adams.

[01:28:40]  Glenn Beck is on.
[01:28:46]  So the little guy, the white shirt and the tie and the coffee mug, Gilbert, we watched for years, and he was us.
[01:29:01]  And there was a lot of wisdom in him because there was a lot of wisdom in his creator, Scott Adams.
[01:29:07]  Scott Adams, we just found out a few minutes ago, has passed on.
[01:29:12]  He's been very ill for a very long time.
[01:29:16]  And I want to spend a few minutes just talking about him, his life, and his meaning.
[01:29:24]  At least my life and maybe yours.
[01:29:27]  We'll do that here in 60 seconds.
[01:29:28]  First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
[01:29:30]  Most people don't think about their phone bill as a values decision.
[01:29:34]  It just feels, you know, neutral.
[01:29:36]  Just another thing that comes out of your account every month.
[01:29:38]  But here's the reality.
[01:29:39]  The money doesn't disappear.
[01:29:40]  It goes somewhere.
[01:29:42]  And with most of the big mobile company, it's just being used to fund causes and organizations and activists that you don't agree with.
[01:29:49]  And quite honestly, they're getting enough of my tax dollars, we're finding out now, and enough from George Soros.
[01:29:55]  I don't need to pay them while I'm paying my phone bill.
[01:29:58]  Kind of pisses me off.
[01:30:00]  I'd like to do business with people who reflect my values and offer a great service and save me money at the same time.
[01:30:09]  Stop pouring profits into ideology that, you know, you don't agree with.
[01:30:13]  Support Patriot Mobile.
[01:30:15]  Support causes that align with faith and family and freedom and do it without sacrificing coverage, quality, or service to make that switch.

[01:30:36]  Today is January 13th, and we pause for a minute.
[01:30:42]  Not for a punchline.
[01:30:45]  And not for a cartoon square with a tie-wearing everyman and a coffee mug.
[01:30:53]  We pause for a man who quietly became something far more important than most people ever realized.
[01:31:01]  Scott Adams, for most of his life, was just a cartoonist.
[01:31:05]  as if just a cartoonist is a small thing.
[01:31:14]  He was a cartoonist that connected with us because there was so much wisdom in that little man, that every man.
[01:31:30]  We saw, especially in the days when there was a water cooler in our office, when we would stand around in the kitchen or we would work in big offices where we all knew somebody that looked like that cartoon figure.
[01:31:50]  We related to him.
[01:31:51]  We understood him.
[01:31:52]  We saw him in ourselves at times.
[01:32:00]  But not often did I think at the time of the cartoonist that was behind it.
[01:32:08]  He wasn't just a cartoonist.
[01:32:10]  Scott Adams was a translator.
[01:32:12]  He was a translator of human weakness, of power, of persuasion.
[01:32:19]  He was a translator of self-deception.
[01:32:24]  He took the chaos of our modern day life and reduced it in a small little square in the old days in a newspaper or in a calendar.
[01:32:36]  He took all of that and reduced it into something that we could see.
[01:32:46]  And then he did something amazing.
[01:32:49]  When he could have stayed safely inside that little box, Scott stepped out.
[01:33:04]  I think the first time I had Scott on the show was during COVID.
[01:33:13]  He lived in California.
[01:33:15]  He was a guy we all loved.
[01:33:18]  After you heard his political views, I'm sure half of the country did not love him.
[01:33:23]  But he became a guiding light for so many, for so many people who are just willing to think honestly.
[01:33:31]  You didn't have to agree with him.
[01:33:32]  He just asked you to think.
[01:33:37]  He became a mentor, in a way, to so many people just trying to understand how influence really works.
[01:33:46]  He was a guy who was changing his life.
[01:33:51]  And he would mentor us through our lives by watching how he was dealing with things.
[01:34:01]  He really was a philosopher who was disguised as a stick figure artist.
[01:34:13]  He was just quietly asking questions most people were too afraid or too tired to ask.
[01:34:24]  Let me play a couple of interview pieces from Scott here recently.
[01:34:33]  Let's play first his Christianity, his transformation, his conversion to Christianity.
[01:34:43]  Listen.
[01:34:44]  Whenever I talk about this simulation, and especially when I talk about my own impending death, many of my Christian friends and Christian followers say to me, Scott, you still have time.
[01:35:00]  You should convert to Christianity.
[01:35:03]  And I usually just let that sit because that's not an argument I want to have.
[01:35:11]  I've not been a believer.
[01:35:14]  But I also have respect for any Christian who goes out of their way to try to convert me.
[01:35:21]  Because how would I believe you believe your own religion if you're not trying to convert me?
[01:35:27]  So I have great respect for people who care enough that they want me to convert and then go out of their way to try to convince me.
[01:35:38]  So you're going to hear for the first time today that it is my plan to convert.
[01:35:46]  So I still have time, but my understanding is you're never too late.
[01:35:52]  And on top of that, any skepticism I have about reality would certainly be instantly answered if I wake up in heaven.
[01:36:02]  I do believe that the dominant Christian theory is that I would wake up in heaven if I have a good life.
[01:36:11]  I don't necessarily have to state something in advance.
[01:36:16]  And so, to my Christian friends, yes, it's coming.
[01:36:22]  So you don't need to talk me into it.
[01:36:25]  I am now convinced that the risk reward is completely smart.
[01:36:31]  If it turns out that there's nothing there, I've lost nothing.
[01:36:36]  But I've respected your wishes, and I like doing that.
[01:36:40]  If it turns out there is something there, and the Christian model is the closest to it, I win.
[01:36:47]  So with your permission, I promise you that I will convert.
[01:36:58]  I have to tell you, there are going to be Christians that are going to argue about that all day long.
[01:37:07]  I love that.
[01:37:09]  Because even there, he's being honest.
[01:37:14]  I've always wondered, I've joked with Pendillette about that.
[01:37:18]  I mean, you know, you're an atheist.
[01:37:21]  You don't believe, you don't believe.
[01:37:23]  Just hedge the bat in a joke.
[01:37:28]  But while Scott said that lightly, I doubt he took that lightly.
[01:37:37]  He was a deep thinker.
[01:37:41]  Here he is just a few weeks ago talking about the end.
[01:37:48]  So this is going to be a tough week because I'm doing some goodbyes in person.
[01:37:55]  And for the most part, it's people I know I'll never see again.
[01:38:00]  And that's very tough.
[01:38:02]  Pretty tough.
[01:38:06]  All right.
[01:38:07]  I think I slurred my way across this enough.
[01:38:12]  I think that's what I need to say for now.
[01:38:15]  Thank you for listening and watching.
[01:38:19]  I'll try to keep things off my chin.
[01:38:22]  All right.
[01:38:24]  Bye for now.
[01:38:25]  I hope I'll see you later, but it might not be.
[01:38:35]  That's how he ended things.
[01:38:38]  And I can say with full confidence that, Scott, we will see you later.
[01:38:55]  Scott was a friend to this program.
[01:39:00]  Because Scott was a friend to truth.
[01:39:06]  Not the fashionable kind.
[01:39:08]  Not the crowd-pleasing, crowd-approved kind.
[01:39:14]  But the kind of truth that actually costs you something.
[01:39:20]  We reached out to him recently.
[01:39:24]  I asked if he would just sit down with me for one last conversation, probably a couple months ago.
[01:39:33]  He said something that none of us will ever forget.
[01:39:40]  I would love to.
[01:39:43]  But there's justn't any more gas left in this tank.
[01:39:49]  No drama.
[01:39:50]  No self-pity.
[01:39:53]  Just honesty.
[01:39:58]  Truth.
[01:39:59]  He didn't save anything.
[01:40:01]  He gave everything that he had.
[01:40:03]  He didn't save it.
[01:40:04]  He didn't ration it.
[01:40:07]  He burned through all of it for all of us.
[01:40:11]  And when the tank finally ran dry, as you just heard, he was still giving, still teaching, and only running on vapors.
[01:40:25]  To me, the remarkable thing about Scott is even his vapors were more than most of us give in a lifetime.
[01:40:40]  Let his life challenge you to think clearer, to question everything, question the narratives, to be peaceful, to be kind, to be giving.
[01:40:53]  to understand persuasion so you're not enslaved by it, to laugh.
[01:41:00]  Not because things are trivial, but because humor sometimes is the only way to survive reality without surrendering to it.
[01:41:09]  He knew something that I think most people never learn.
[01:41:13]  Clarity is compassion.
[01:41:16]  Truth can be delivered with wit and can reach places anger never will.
[01:41:23]  And courage doesn't always roar sometimes.

=== Courage That Doesn't Roar (06:05) ===

[01:41:25]  It just keeps showing up day after day until there's nothing left to give.
[01:41:34]  Today, celebrate.
[01:41:36]  Mourn, but celebrate.
[01:41:38]  A man, a man whose life was spent emptying itself out over and over every day for others.
[01:41:48]  Scott Adams finished his race.
[01:41:50]  He didn't quit early.
[01:41:52]  He didn't coast at the end.
[01:41:54]  He crossed the line on fumes, and for that, and for the light he left behind, for the questions he taught all of us to ask, for the honesty he modeled when it mattered most.
[01:42:08]  Scott, thank you.
[01:42:12]  Thank you.
[01:42:13]  You carried more than your share.
[01:42:17]  And my friend, we will indeed see you again.
[01:42:24]  Sleep is one of the few things in life we're trying harder.
[01:42:27]  We're trying harder is actually making it worse.
[01:42:30]  You know, you try really hard.
[01:42:31]  Okay.
[01:42:32]  Okay, tonight I'm really going to sleep.
[01:42:33]  That's usually the bad.
[01:42:34]  That's a bad indication you're not going to sleep.

[01:43:45]  You know, the one thing I like about Scott, and I like this about, I like this that I'm seeing this more in everyday life, from everyday citizens, not just celebrities or people that everybody knows, but from.
[01:43:59]  but from real people every day.
[01:44:01]  I'm seeing more courage than I've seen in a long, long time.
[01:44:05]  People are not afraid to stand up.
[01:44:09]  They're not afraid to say, and maybe it's just because they're tired of it all.
[01:44:12]  I don't know.
[01:44:14]  I spoke here in Dallas.
[01:44:17]  Was it Friday?
[01:44:18]  Yeah, it's Tuesday.
[01:44:19]  It was on Friday I spoke at Dallas at this event that Patriot Mobile put on, and it was about Sharia law.
[01:44:27]  And I was talking about courage, and I was talking about the Knights of Malta, which I can't wait.
[01:44:33]  We have got to do a special on the Knights of Malta because there's so much to learn with the Knights of Malta and their honor and their integrity and how they live their life, their code of ethics.
[01:44:44]  Let me play a little bit of this speech here.
[01:44:47]  Play the long version, please.
[01:44:49]  Under constant siege for over 30 days, they killed 10,000 Ottomans.
[01:45:00]  Every single one of them died.
[01:45:06]  But you know how they died?
[01:45:09]  They refused to bow to the Ottoman Empire.
[01:45:14]  They refused to bow to Sharia law.
[01:45:18]  When they came in and they finally found all of the knights, they had taken their broadswords and shoved them into the ground and draped themselves over the cross of the broadsword so they were still standing and still upright.
[01:45:40]  Faith before life.
[01:45:45]  First loyalty to God, not my survival.
[01:45:51]  Loyalty to God to honor above outcome.
[01:45:58]  We live in a society where the ends justify the means.
[01:46:02]  Stand firmly against that.
[01:46:05]  Courage without illusion.
[01:46:08]  I am not here to tell you this is going to be easy.
[01:46:12]  I am not here to tell you Donald Trump's going to save us.
[01:46:16]  I am not here to tell you some won't fall, that Europe is going to be fine, that Texas will even be fine.
[01:46:25]  I'm telling you, it could be the fight of our lives and brotherhood unto death.
[01:46:32]  No man fought alone.
[01:46:38]  We're in this together.
[01:46:41]  It's a really, as always, I walk up to the, I walk up to the podium and I think I got nothing.
[01:46:49]  And it's a really powerful speech.
[01:46:54]  And it was right after Gert Welder's, his speech from the Netherlands.
[01:46:59]  He's as brave as they come.
[01:47:01]  And then Steve Bannon came and it was like, I don't know, it was like a rally.
[01:47:06]  And then I walk on stage and I got nothing.
[01:47:10]  But it's a really, you'll learn a lot in the speech.
[01:47:14]  And I think you'll find a lot of courage in it and you will find a lot of inspiration in it.
[01:47:21]  I talk about this battle that we are all fighting right now.
[01:47:26]  And whether you know it or not, it's coming.
[01:47:29]  And we're already in it.

=== 20 Episodes on the American Story (04:20) ===

[01:47:31]  And if you don't make your decision right now and you don't start shaping your life in the way that you want it to be, you want, who do you really want to be?
[01:47:44]  Who is the best you?
[01:47:47]  When the crap hits the fan, who do you want to be at that moment?
[01:47:53]  And I take you through how to be able to shape yourself into that because great change is coming.

[01:48:24]  Geez, I did admit to something I never shared with anybody.

[01:48:30]  It just kind of came out of me.
[01:48:31]  This speech.

[01:48:43]  Let me tell you about blinds.com.
[01:48:44]  You know, there's a point where a house stops feeling finished.
[01:48:48]  You know, usually it's the windows.
[01:48:50]  Everything else can be dialed in, but if the light is wrong, if the privacy is off, or the room just feels a little, I don't know, just unsettled when the windows aren't right.
[01:48:59]  You know, you notice it every single day.
[01:49:01]  The problem is a lot of people put window treatments off because they expect it to be a pain and very expensive.
[01:49:06]  Blinds.com was built to make that process really simple and something you can afford.
[01:49:11]  Customized blinds, shades, shutters to fit your exact windows, your style, and your needs.

=== Why We Stripped Fat From Milk (15:37) ===

[01:51:52]  I want to bring in a friend of the program, and I just love her to death, Alex Clark.
[01:51:58]  She is the host of Culture Apothecary, and she is also a contributor for Turning Point USA.
[01:52:05]  And I was just on her show.
[01:52:06]  When was I on your show?
[01:52:07]  It was right before Christmas.
[01:52:09]  Was it not?
[01:52:10]  It just came out like a week ago.
[01:52:12]  Oh, did it really?
[01:52:13]  Oh, is it as bad as I thought it was?
[01:52:16]  No, it was very controversial, though, which is what we love about you, Glenn.
[01:52:20]  Really?
[01:52:20]  It was.
[01:52:21]  Oh, I don't remember that.
[01:52:23]  Well, I'll have to watch it.
[01:52:24]  Anyway, Alex, thank you for being on the program.
[01:52:28]  I wanted to talk to you about the new food pyramid because we've turned it upside down, literally upside down.
[01:52:37]  And everything that I grew up being told, no, no, no, you got to have breads, you know, and rice and pasta and all that stuff, which doesn't make sense to me.
[01:52:47]  I mean, just if you look at the human body as the body of an animal, no animals are making pasta.
[01:52:55]  You know, it's the stuff that they can grab and eat that is naturally out there.
[01:53:01]  And yet we've made pasta and rice and cereal and all of this stuff at the very bottom of the pyramid.
[01:53:07]  It's now at the tippy top, the little teeny point.
[01:53:10]  That's how much it's changed.
[01:53:12]  How did the food pyramid get this screwed up?
[01:53:15]  How did this happen?
[01:53:18]  Yeah, well, what is really crazy is that the food pyramid, and I grew up with this because I'm a 90s kid.
[01:53:23]  So when I was growing up, the food pyramid, it just came out in the 90s.
[01:53:26]  This was in every single textbook in public schools.
[01:53:30]  And it really wasn't designed for health like we all thought.
[01:53:33]  Come to find out, it was all designed for profit.
[01:53:36]  And so it was not just bad science.
[01:53:39]  It was completely rigged.
[01:53:41]  So the dietary guidelines were written by these committees that were riddled with conflicts of interest.
[01:53:47]  They were people that were tied to, tied financially to grain producers, the sugar interest groups, ultra-processed food companies.
[01:53:56]  It was all really to benefit them, not the American people.
[01:54:00]  And so once those guidelines exist and they're put in something like the food pyramid, which is the government saying, hey, this is what's healthy, they basically become law without ever even being voted on.
[01:54:11]  So like school lunches are using these guidelines for what they serve our children.
[01:54:15]  Hospitals are using these guidelines.
[01:54:17]  Nursing homes, the military, all of them have to follow them.
[01:54:21]  And so you really just needed lobbying to decide what food was given to American kids.
[01:54:28]  It wasn't about good nutrition.
[01:54:30]  And so that's kind of why the grains, like you're talking about, were put at the bottom of the pyramid saying, you know, we need more grains.
[01:54:37]  Not because, you know, human beings out of nowhere evolved to needing 11 servings of grain a day.
[01:54:45]  It was because they were cheap.
[01:54:48]  We were subsidizing them.
[01:54:50]  They were shelf stable and they were really profitable, right?
[01:54:53]  So that had nothing to do with health.
[01:54:55]  And we were also told that fat was the enemy.
[01:54:58]  So I'm sure you remember, Glenn, like everyone was saying low fat.
[01:55:01]  Yeah, yeah.
[01:55:02]  Remember that?
[01:55:02]  Yeah, and we got fat once everybody started going low fat.
[01:55:07]  Yes, yes.
[01:55:08]  So we were told butter was bad.
[01:55:10]  Eggs were the enemy.
[01:55:11]  Beef, you know, red meat was bad for you.
[01:55:14]  They're all dangerous.
[01:55:15]  And so it all kind of ends up leading to higher rates of heart attacks and heart disease.
[01:55:25]  And the group eating less fat had more heart attacks.
[01:55:30]  And they buried this data for 16 years.
[01:55:33]  We knew that this was happening because basically if we admitted the truth, the government knew and all of these industries knew that we would have like this entire, well, all of these rigged industries, right, would be very upset with us, essentially.
[01:55:50]  And so we told them, you know, we told people fear fat.
[01:55:53]  You got to replace it with sugar.
[01:55:55]  Replace it with ultra-processed food and carbs.
[01:55:59]  And we ended up going to high sugar.
[01:56:02]  And that's because when you remove fat, so when we told everyone to remove fat, you have to replace it with sugar because otherwise the food tastes like cardboard.
[01:56:10]  So the industry started adding in more sugar into our food.
[01:56:13]  Like even mayonnaise or deli ham has tons of sugar in it if you look closely at the ingredients now.
[01:56:20]  And so we added refined starches and chemical flavorings.
[01:56:23]  And then we were like, this is heart healthy.
[01:56:25]  You know, the American Heart Association was putting their little label on things saying this is heart healthy.
[01:56:30]  And then that's how you end up with cereal and fruit juice in schools.
[01:56:34]  And so that's kind of, there's so much I could say, but that's why the food pyramid was bad.
[01:56:39]  And this is why we really needed to change it in the first place.
[01:56:43]  And so now this is why the new dietary guidelines matter so much.
[01:56:48]  So do you want to know what we've done now and what's so great about it?
[01:56:52]  Okay, so basically, this is exciting.
[01:56:55]  For the first time, maybe ever, Glenn, the government is telling parents the truth, at least about this.
[01:57:01]  I don't know about a lot of other things, but at least about the food pyramid.
[01:57:04]  So we're saying, you know, in these new dietary guidelines, kids need real food.
[01:57:09]  They need protein, not cereal, real protein, eggs, meat, whole milk, not skim milk.
[01:57:15]  That's a huge thing.
[01:57:17]  You know, we were telling parents for a really long time that you want to strip fat out of milk and basically want them to drink flavored water.
[01:57:25]  But fat helps kids feel full.
[01:57:28]  It also slows sugar absorption.
[01:57:30]  It supports brain development.
[01:57:31]  So we really want that whole milk in there.
[01:57:34]  And the new protein recommendations are 50 to 100% higher.
[01:57:40]  So that is like a massive difference.
[01:57:44]  We shouldn't, obviously you want your kids to eat their vegetables and fruit is healthy too.
[01:57:48]  But the main thing, if your kids are struggling eating at the dinner table, I would say to parents, be like, let's eat our protein.
[01:57:55]  You know, whatever the meat is on the plate, like that's really what you should be focusing on getting them to eat more than anything.
[01:58:01]  And then, yeah, try to encourage them to try vegetables or whatever.
[01:58:05]  But the new guidelines, I mean, this is going to stop demonizing fat also.
[01:58:11]  Butter is back.
[01:58:13]  Full-fat dairy, like I said, is back.
[01:58:14]  Beef is back.
[01:58:15]  And that matters because when you remove fat from kids' diets, you really make them hungrier.
[01:58:21]  And hungry kids reach for sugar.
[01:58:23]  And so this is all leading to the obesity crisis that we find ourselves in, where nearly half of American teenagers are obese or overweight, which is really, really awful because that's leading to a lifetime of chronic disease.
[01:58:38]  And the guidelines are also for the first time acknowledging that ultra-processed foods are not harmless.
[01:58:43]  These are foods that are associated with diabetes, mental health challenges like enzyme depression, which of course we know is through the roof.
[01:58:52]  And so these will change what's served in school lunches, hospitals, daycares.
[01:58:57]  And so, yeah, it's just really an exciting time in America.
[01:59:00]  And no one should be upset about this.
[01:59:02]  Anyone who's upset about this, you should be questioning them because this benefits everyone, no matter if you're Democrat, Republican, whatever.
[01:59:11]  This should be a totally nonpartisan win.
[01:59:13]  You know, it's amazing.
[01:59:15]  What an exciting time to be alive.
[01:59:17]  I mean, I don't know how it's all going to come undone.
[01:59:20]  I mean, think of the billions of dollars that these corporations are making all the time and how they're all connected and using scraps that should never be used in food.
[01:59:33]  So I don't know how it ends, but what an exciting time to be alive where so much of our lives are completely being turned upside down.
[01:59:44]  And I think the truth is actually being exposed.
[01:59:47]  Did you hear about water?
[01:59:48]  They're now saying that this water thing is a lie, that you should have eight glasses of water.
[01:59:52]  They're like, no, drink when you're thirsty.
[01:59:55]  That whole water thing, at least that's what I heard.
[01:59:58]  Do you agree with that?
[01:59:59]  Or did you hear that?
[02:00:01]  I do.
[02:00:02]  So here's what's interesting.
[02:00:03]  We tell Americans to drink so much water and yet we're all so dehydrated and constipated.
[02:00:09]  And the reason is it's the type of water we're drinking, honestly, Glenn.
[02:00:13]  So we're drinking all of this bottled water that says purified on it.
[02:00:17]  And purified water is completely stripped of all of the vitamins and minerals that you want in water that actually hydrate you.
[02:00:24]  So really we should be looking for spring water.
[02:00:28]  So if you ever at an airport and you see like Evian, I'm not sponsored by any water brands, but if you see Evion or Barnes Valley or Saratoga or whatever, like those are, if they say spring water, that would be an optimal on-the-go water to grab, not purified.
[02:00:44]  What they're saying is with the water is that we are drinking so much of it, but we're not getting the vitamins and minerals, you know, even salt and everything else that we're supposed to get out of water.
[02:00:55]  And they're saying drink the right water, just drink regular water and drink when you're thirsty, and that's fine.
[02:01:02]  Yeah, so that's why drinking that spring water has all of the salt and the magnesium and the minerals that you need.
[02:01:08]  And if you have to drink purified water, because that's the only thing available to you is bottled purified, then you want to add electrolytes.
[02:01:15]  So those like electrolyte packets, you want to add that to your water because that will have those minerals.
[02:01:19]  Let me switch topics.
[02:01:21]  I could go on with you all day.
[02:01:22]  I'm going to do a special on this.
[02:01:24]  And, you know, you and I talked about, I'm going to see if I can biohack my own body because there's just, I need to.
[02:01:31]  Anyway, but I want to do a special on some of this.
[02:01:34]  And I'd love to have you out for it because there's just so much I could talk to you about.
[02:01:38]  The vaccines, can you just hit on that quickly?
[02:01:40]  What should because some parents are freaking out?
[02:01:43]  Can you talk about that at all?
[02:01:45]  Oh, this is so good for parents.
[02:01:47]  And the reason why is you should really feel encouraged and alleviated because now the government is saying, you know what, parents do know best.
[02:01:55]  You do know best for your own child.
[02:01:57]  We were at over 70 vaccines recommended, okay?
[02:02:00]  70 vaccines that a child should take between 0 and 18 years old.
[02:02:03]  That's correct.
[02:02:04]  Now it's at 11.
[02:02:05]  And this is really designed to protect kids earlier.
[02:02:08]  It's safer and smarter than before.
[02:02:10]  The CDC didn't just randomly add shots or move things around or take things away.
[02:02:15]  Everything is based on decades of research.
[02:02:17]  real-world evidence, what actually works to keep kids healthy.
[02:02:21]  And we're mimicking what Denmark does.
[02:02:23]  They have a really smart approach.
[02:02:25]  They focus on giving vaccines at the ages when a child's immune system is most ready to respond.
[02:02:31]  They're not overloading babies with multiple shots too early.
[02:02:34]  They're spacing things out carefully.
[02:02:37]  They only combine vaccines when it makes sense and they monitor safety closely.
[02:02:42]  So that is exactly what the new CDC schedule is moving towards now with these 11 vaccines.
[02:02:47]  They're spaced out in a way that matches how a child's body naturally develops immunity.
[02:02:52]  And it's all evidence-based.
[02:02:54]  It's thoughtful.
[02:02:54]  It's designed to make the schedule easier to follow.
[02:02:57]  And of course, what I love most of all is that this admin, the Trump admin, really believes that parents know best.
[02:03:03]  And they want parents to have the most up-to-date and non-compromised information so that you as a parent can make an informed decision for your child.
[02:03:11]  And the admin, Glenn, does not say this, but I will.
[02:03:14]  If what you believe is the best thing for your kid is no vaccines at all, you have that right and you should feel confident in that.
[02:03:23]  Isn't it odd that the guy who I believe is 95% McDonald's?
[02:03:30]  I mean, his body makeup is 95%, maybe 2% French fries from some other place, is the guy who is allowing this to happen.
[02:03:42]  And yet, these are so much of this is stuff that the left has been for for so long.
[02:03:48]  And now because it's Donald Trump that did it, and it's really not him, it's RFK.
[02:03:53]  Now that he's the guy who did it, so many people are just rejecting it out of hand.
[02:03:58]  It's nuts.
[02:04:00]  Yeah, what I love about President Trump is he really, he really shows what true freedom should look like when it comes to health.
[02:04:06]  So President Trump is saying, I want you to unlock and unleash all of the true evidence in science, get all of the corrupt, compromised studies out of here, let people see the truth, and then they decide for themselves.
[02:04:18]  And President Trump sees the truth and he decides for himself.
[02:04:20]  Now, I just read a quote from him the other day where he said, bring in the poison.
[02:04:24]  And somebody brought him like a case of candy bars or something.
[02:04:27]  And he said, he picked like one thing and he said, okay, get the poison out of here.
[02:04:31]  So like he's making just, you know, he might be, he might be slowing his roll on the junk food a little bit.
[02:04:36]  But yeah, he does love fast food McDonald's.
[02:04:38]  But you know what?
[02:04:39]  He sees the true science.
[02:04:41]  He knows the truth and he's making a decision for himself as an adult.
[02:04:44]  And that's what it should be about is we get to decide for ourselves.
[02:04:48]  That is true freedom.
[02:04:49]  Yes, yes.
[02:04:50]  Alex, so good to talk to you.
[02:04:51]  Thank you so much.
[02:04:52]  Thank you so much for everything you do.
[02:04:54]  I appreciate it.
[02:04:55]  Thanks, Glenn.
[02:04:56]  You bet.
[02:04:56]  You can find her youtube.com at realalexclark.
[02:05:00]  We watched the thing.
[02:05:01]  We did it at TPUSA.
[02:05:02]  I don't remember what was so controversial about it.
[02:05:05]  It was about Islam.
[02:05:06]  Oh, it was about Islam.
[02:05:07]  Oh, yeah, that's right.
[02:05:08]  Yeah, that one was a little controversial.
[02:05:10]  But you should see the speech I just gave on Friday, too.
[02:05:12]  Watch those back to back.
[02:05:13]  You won't sleep for a week.
[02:05:14]  Anyway, youtube.com at realalxclark.
[02:05:18]  All right, back in a minute.
[02:05:20]  Most of us just assume communication is a given until signals drop and the network gets jammed and everything we rely on just stops working the way it's supposed to.
[02:05:27]  I will tell you at the ranch, we don't do that.
[02:05:29]  I live up in the mountains.
[02:05:30]  We're up at about 7,000 feet.
[02:05:33]  And, you know, we're living in these fingers in between the fingers.
[02:05:36]  And there is like, there's no self-service up there at all.
[02:05:40]  And no kind of walkie-talkie works because you go down one hill and it's gone, you know, line of sight crap.
[02:05:46]  And we started using Rapid Radios, honestly, because last summer, one of the guys, Caesar, he was out riding and doing some work on the ranch.
[02:05:55]  And he was riding on one of our Forerunners.
[02:05:58]  And he accidentally went over kind of a cliff and ended up upside down in a tree.
[02:06:05]  He was fine.
[02:06:06]  Forerunner, I think, was fine, but he was fine.
[02:06:09]  But we didn't know it until the sun started going down.
[02:06:12]  Anybody seen Caesar?
[02:06:12]  We had to go look for him.
[02:06:13]  Rapid Radio solves that.
[02:06:15]  When you need communication, you can get it no matter where you are.
[02:06:18]  RapidRadios.com, secure you exclusive savings, elevate your business communication, save 60% now in business.
[02:06:24]  It's rapidradios.com.
[02:06:26]  Rapid Radios communication redefined.
[02:06:29]  Glenn Beck.
[02:06:30]  I got to tell you, we didn't even get to the gym goers versus body acceptance.
[02:06:57]  This video I saw yesterday, it is insane.
[02:07:00]  It is a bunch of really, really, really fat people.
[02:07:04]  And remember, there's a really, really, really fat guy in me screaming to get out who's talking about, no, you're a healthy fat.
[02:07:13]  And they barely get up out of the chair.
[02:07:15]  It is crazy.
[02:07:16]  Also, I'll continue my jihad a little bit tomorrow about the TSA in Minnesota.
[02:07:26]  We have a lot to talk about tomorrow.
[02:07:28]  Climb back program.
