Best of the Program | Guests: Peter Schweizer & James Brown | 1/20/26

Peter Schweizer and James Brown dissect the alleged "civilizational jihad" against the West, detailing China's exploitation of U.S. birthright citizenship through 100,000 annual births and elite surrogacy programs. The discussion critiques Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein case and Democratic scandals while highlighting Britain's abandonment of Diego Garcia as a sign of European decline. Ultimately, the episode argues that unaccountable global management threatens Western sovereignty, urging President Trump to declare an end to these forces at the World Economic Forum.

Relief Factor vs. Civilizational Jihad 00:03:31
So I said I wouldn't say anything about Pam Bandi for a year, and I was pretty okay on that.
I wasn't exactly, I had a few outbursts during the year, but I held it together as much as I could.
The case against Pam Bandi, the case that she needs to be fired now.
And believe it or not, trying to be fair, the case against making change.
But you decide on that.
Also, Peter Schweizer, his new book is out on the invasion of America.
And it's amazing.
Today we talk about China and what is happening with China and Islam, the civilizational jihad here in America.
You'll learn things you've never heard.
And Diego Garcia, more important for the U.S.
And makes sense on why Donald Trump is talking about Greenland.
But you need to hear about what Great Britain has just done with Diego Garcia.
I guess we're all cool with it.
Good luck with that one, Great Britain.
All on today's podcast.
Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
A lot of people don't realize how much energy they're spending just managing discomfort, shifting in a chair, avoiding certain movements, planning around what your body's going to tolerate that day.
You know, can we do that early?
Because I don't know if I'll be there, you know, in the afternoon.
Relief Factor was designed especially for you.
It's a daily supplement designed to support the body's response to inflammation, which is one of the most common sources of everyday pain and stiffness.
Consistency is the point here.
If you take it daily, you take it as directed, Relief Factor helps reduce that friction that makes simple things harder than they need to be.
And when your body cooperates, you get more of your day back, get more of your life, less adjusting, more moving forward.
And over time, that adds up.
You think less about what hurts and more about what you want to do.
Days feel less negotiated and the background noise that pain creates starts to fade.
I want you to call Relief Factor right now and get their 100% drug-free supplement.
It's a three-week quick start, $19.95.
Go to relieffactor.com or call 800 for Relief.
800, the number 4 relief, relieffactor.com.
Hello, America.
You know, we've been fighting every single day.
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
But to keep this fight going, we need you.
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
Rate, review, share.
Together, we'll make a difference.
And thanks for standing with us.
Now let's get to work.
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
Peter, welcome back to the Internet.
Great to be back with you, Glenn.
Thanks so much for having me.
Yeah, congratulations on number one in all books.
That's remarkable on Amazon.
Yeah, appreciate it.
China's Birthright Citizenship Plot 00:12:15
Yeah.
So yesterday, we talked about Mexico, and you shared some things that this is a long time coming, this invasion.
You know, I remember when people were saying, it's an invasion from Mexico, and Biden and everybody said, it's not an invasion, blah, blah, blah.
And that is a loaded word because that is a military word.
If it's an invasion, then you can act differently.
But everybody was saying it's not an invasion.
And I think you proved yesterday, and you'd prove it in your book, just based on their own words, it is an invasion.
Yeah, that's right, Glenn.
I mean, you know, people can have their opinions on what the right phraseology is, but the people, the foreign adversaries that are engaging in this behavior, they use military terminology.
I mean, as we talked yesterday, there's numerous quotes from people in the Mexican elite who talk about reconquering the territories that they say were taken from them in the 19th century.
Reconquering is a military term.
If you look at China, China believes, and again, I quote in the book, that they are engaged in not just a military competition with the United States or a technological one.
They believe that they are engaged in a civilizational warfare against the Judeo-Christian West.
That's what one of the leading thinkers in the Chinese Communist Party says.
And so what that means is, yes, we need to have tanks.
We need to have aircraft carriers.
We need all of that.
We need to be concerned about our technology.
But we also need to be concerned about our civilization.
And these adversaries, Mexico, the Muslim Brotherhood, or China, they all use different methodologies, different strategies to undermine our civilization through immigration.
And again, that's not me saying that.
That's the culprits themselves saying and explaining exactly what they're doing.
So in the case of Mexico, you have people streaming across the border.
They view this as a demographic and a political reconquista of the United States.
Again, that's their word, not mine.
They organize these networks in the United States.
China, as one would be, that would be befitting for them, is much more sophisticated, in some respects, even more scary.
So let's talk about China.
China, we seem to completely, Donald Trump has said, you know what, we need these Chinese students in our schools.
Well, they're taking all kinds of Chinese money.
We have police stations in New York that are Chinese police stations to go after Chinese citizens in the United States, completely illegal.
They have been very, very clear that the United States is an enemy.
And I mean, I think 2027 is their year that they say that they are going to start to express their dominance in the world.
What are they doing specifically on this invasion, Peter?
Well, Glenn, you've talked about this.
And of course, there's a Supreme Court case on the issue of birthright citizenship, the idea that if you're born in the confines of the United States, wherever you're from, that child will become a U.S. citizen.
China has really exploited this on an industrial scale over the last 13 years.
And what do I mean by that?
Well, the first thing is on birthright citizenship, the federal government, the United States government has no idea how many birthright children have been born in the country because on birth certificates, they don't take the nationality of the parents.
So you ask the smartest people in the federal government, they have no idea how many there are.
The Chinese government has calculated how many Chinese nationals have done this, and it is stunning.
The Chinese government says over the past 30 years, every year, roughly 100,000 Chinese children have been born in the United States that are then taken back to China where they are raised.
Now, they are quote-unquote U.S. citizens.
And when they turn 18, they're going to have the right to vote.
They're going to have the right to get government jobs.
They're going to have the rights of any ordinary U.S. citizen, but they're being raised inside China.
And that means we are going to have a wave of more than 1 million Chinese, quote-unquote, American citizens who are living in China who are going to have the right to vote, get government jobs.
And let's remember the 2016 election with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was settled by 80,000 votes.
So this is a massive, massive problem of U.S. citizens en masse that are being hired in China.
They're going to have this influential effect.
But it gets worse, Glenn, because that is the sort of traditional birthright citizenship model.
You now have this problem, and I know you've talked about it, of surrogacy, these surrogates where Chinese nationals are finding what they call carriers, which is women in the United States that will carry their child.
So, you know, the Chinese man donates his sperm, an American woman carries the child.
The child is then brought back to China to be raised as the child of this Chinese member of the elite, and that child will be a U.S. citizen.
And again, we have absolutely no idea how many people have done this.
Now, the Wall Street Journal reported just a couple weeks ago, one man in China, a businessman who is close to the CCP elite, has more than 100 children who are U.S. citizens, who is he has conceived this way.
And in the researching my book, we found just in Southern California itself, 107 Chinese-owned companies that are in this surrogacy business.
So this is a massive, massive national security threat done cleverly in a way that you would expect the Chinese do it that demands immediate attention.
Peter, go back.
You and I are of the age that we remember the Soviet Union.
We know what communism is.
But if you're younger, you have no idea what communism is.
You have no idea this Manchurian candidate, this Manchurian generation, people have no idea what they're dealing with.
They think they're just dealing with another country.
Can you explain communist China?
Yeah, well, I mean, the first thing to know about this issue of surrogacy and birthright citizenship specifically is that the CCP has told members of the elite, do this.
You have a quote-unquote constitutional right.
They've actually written about this in Chinese government newspapers.
And what happens is that members of the elite, that's the Chinese military, the Chinese intelligence services, are the ones that have exploited this.
Now, people may think, well, you know, why does this matter?
They turn 18 from China.
They come to the United States.
Everything is fine.
Maybe they'll become American like everyone else.
The problem is, is that the same tools that they use to exert control over Chinese students living in the United States, they are going to apply to these children.
So what do I mean by that?
Well, Chinese students that are in the United States, they are only supposed to use and only allowed to use Chinese apps to communicate, things like WeChat.
Why is that, Glenn?
Because it's monitored by the Chinese government.
They're required to check in.
If you do not do what they tell you to do, they will do terrible things to your family.
This is how they exert control over individuals that are thousands of miles away.
And the Chinese system is not predicated on the greatness of China.
It is predicated on the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, which is an elite which runs that country.
So individuals can have their own desires and their own views, but as long as you have any tire connection to mainland China, they are going to exert control.
And their model for control, they've been very explicit about it.
This is not Peter Schweitzer saying it.
They've been very explicit about it.
Their goal is supremacy over the United States and the destruction of Western civilization.
That is what they view as their goal, and they are dead set on achieving it.
By the way, the number that he gave you of, you know, 100,000 children, it started 13 years ago.
That means the first 100,000 are four years away from voting here in the United States.
Peter, is anyone taking this seriously in our government?
I mean, we seem to, even Trump, he's really tough on China in some ways, and he's really easy on China in other ways.
Well, what I appreciate is that Trump has taken on the issue of birthright citizenship square on.
You know, the notion that people have when it comes to birthright citizenship is this is kind of a random thing that sort of happens.
Somebody sneaks across the border and oh, they give birth and oh, what's the big deal?
But China has created this industrial model, and I think that is going to get, you know, the attention of this administration.
And I have reason to believe, I won't go into details, that the material in this book will figure in the case that the administration brings before the Supreme Court.
In other words, this is how this situation is being manipulated.
But let's also go on, by the way, to some of the U.S. enablers, because China started doing this, as you pointed out, 2011, 2012.
That's when it really kicked off.
They've had enablers inside the United States.
Barack Obama in November of 2014 made Chinese birth tourism easier because he announced a 10-year visa program with the Chinese.
And he also said that individuals who were coming from China who were pregnant, that was not a reason to not allow them in the United States.
And so what that means is once they got the first visa, they did not have to check in with authorities when they came back.
And so there are numerous instances in the book where you have military officers who had senior Chinese military officers who had three children in the United States using these 10-year visas.
And I quote in the book, Professor Bobonis, who's a professor in Australia, who studied this, he says, quote, young Chinese women granted renewable tenure U.S. multiple entry visas have as much as 25 years of fertility ahead of them.
And his prediction was that as a result of this and where we're heading, if we don't deal with this, we are literally looking at millions upon millions of Chinese nationals who get U.S. citizenship through birthright citizenship who are going to be playing central roles in American society by voting, by dictating the direction we go, and by taking crucial government jobs.
So we absolutely have to stop this in the tracks when it comes to birthright citizenship and the case before the Supreme Court.
We are dealing with some of the biggest issues.
Literally, I believe life and death is what is at stake for Western civilization.
Peter has written The Invisible Coup.
It covers all of it, and you really need to read it.
It is available everywhere.
Again, my highest recommendation, and I can't name another book that I think you should read over this one, The Invisible Coup.
The Invisible Coup 00:04:19
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
To hear the rest of this interview, check out the full podcast.
More coming up.
There's a moment that comes for a lot of people when they realize, wow, my finances are running my life instead of supporting it.
Not because you've been irresponsible, but because, you know, time has passed, rates have changed, things happened, old decisions, you know, never got a second look.
Well, American financing exists for that moment.
They help people step back and reassess the structure of their money, the mortgage, the debt, the payments, the interest, and they figure out whether it still makes sense for their life, you know, that they're living now or if there needs to be a change made.
And then they help make that change with you.
For some, that means paying off high interest debt.
Others, it just means lowering monthly payments and creating actual room to move.
This is all about alignment.
When your finances are structured well, everything starts to get easier for you.
Decisions are clearer.
Stress loses its grip and progress stops feeling like a fight.
American Financing.
They specialize in helping people just like you.
So you can focus on what comes next.
It's American Financing at 800-906-2440.

Now back to the podcast.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
I got a lot to say about Pam Bond.
And let me just start with this.
Just to be fair, we gave the DOJ some notice.
We said Glenn has addressed criticism.
The DOJ has fallen short of MAGA's expectations for justice over the past year.
Glenn wants to give the DOJ the benefit of the doubt and present his audience with reasons why there might be a backlog.
One of those reasons being the amount of district attorneys, it's actually, I think, federal investigators that Democratic senators are holding up in confirmation.
You have the number estimate of federal prosecutors that are being held up by Democrats.
Deadline is 8 a.m., blah, blah, blah.
We have not received anything.
And I say that because it's not unusual for us not to get a response from the DOJ.
For instance, we have yet to receive anything from our FOIA on the Jeffrey Epstein case.
I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but when I saw what was happening with the Epstein case, I noticed there seemed to be a real tiff between Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi.
And so I know there had to be things that were being exchanged back and forth.
And that would help us get to what really happened.
So we requested copies, including, this is actually from the FOIA that we put out July 11th, copies of all records, including but not limited to emails, memorandums, notes, text messages, correspondence, meeting minutes, call logs, or any other communications sent or received by Dan Bongino that mention, discuss, or relate to any of the following topics.
The Epstein files, Jeffrey Epstein's client list, any documents, investigations, or releases related to Jeffrey Epstein's activities, associate or estate.
Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, DOJ, Kash Patel.
This includes communication where these topics are discussed in combination.
Bongino's references to the Epstein files in contexts of Bondi or Patel or individually.
The search should include any electronic or paper records in Bongino's custody, as well as those involving him as the sender, a sender, recipient, or CCBCC participant.
The time period of this request is from November 5th, 2024 until present day, July 11, 2025, requesting these records in the public interest as they pertain to a high-profile promises made by Bongino, Bondi, and Patel regarding transparency on Epstein-related matters, which have been wildly discussed, widely discussed in the media and public forums.
Disclosure would contribute to public understanding of government operations, accountability, and potential conflicts of interest involving senior officials.
I am not seeking these records for commercial purposes.
I request a waiver of all fees associated, blah, Crickets, we have not heard a thing from the DOJ.
It is my right as a journalist to request with a FOIA request.
DOJ Accountability and FOIA Failures 00:10:44
The government is supposed to respond quickly to a FOIA request.
Usually they do.
When they don't respond quickly to a FOIA request, it sometimes can be dragged out for a very long time because the government doesn't want to do it.
And so they'll come up with all kinds of excuses.
I would think that a DOJ that wants to let the American people know what's going on would have honored that FOIA request.
But again, it's not unusual.
So let me first make a case.
I want to make two sides of this case.
And one I believe is that Pam Bondi needs to be replaced right now.
But I want to make a case that, wait a minute, there might be some things we don't understand.
So you can make your own decision.
And no straw man arguments.
I'll give you both sides of this.
First, let me make a case for accountability and action and why patience at some point can become complicity.
A republic doesn't die only from chaos.
It dies from tolerance of the intolerable.
There comes a point when process stops being prudence and becomes protection.
And that's what I'm concerned about, that we are in this place to where protection is happening.
And history is merciless on this question of where this line is.
The Roman Senate, you know, they didn't fall just because they lacked laws.
They weren't enforcing it.
The laws were enforced selectively.
Politicians, the Senate, everybody delayed.
And so there was no justice.
And the people noticed that.
And that's when people stopped believing in the republic.
So faith collapses before an empire or a country does.
Same thing over and over throughout history.
I don't need to bore you with all of the details.
But this is the moment that we're living in right now, when small offenders are jailed swiftly.
When the IRS will hire 85,000 agents to go over your records, but nobody will talk about Hunter Biden.
No one will talk about the Clintons.
No one will talk about anybody in power.
Those just get swept away.
When process crimes are aggressively pursued, when whistleblowers are crushed, which they have been, but sprawling, massive, well-documented corruption in government produces years of nothing but hearings and no results on those hearings.
Okay.
When that happens, the public starts to say, you know what, I'm going to draw a conclusion here.
And it's not irrational to do it.
It's not hysterical to do it.
But people see this pattern and go, the whole system is rigged.
And that's the end of a republic.
And that's why Pam Bondi needs to answer or be replaced.
We must have the information that the American people can trust.
So let me just tell you, these are the things that just drive me out of my mind that Pam Bondi needs to answer for and be replaced for.
First, the Epstein case.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
I've never seen anybody handle anything.
No, I take that back.
Joe Biden, he handled his entire administration the way Pam Bondi has handled the Epstein case.
It is honestly like she's like, I got all the information on my desk.
I had a moment.
What am I doing here?
I mean, it was almost that bad.
I've got all the information and you're going to see it tomorrow.
It's sitting right here on my desk.
And then nothing, nothing, nothing.
Why did you say that, Pam?
You have to tell the American people because you were bluffing?
Because you hadn't done your homework, because you were looking for press that night?
Why would you say that and then have nothing?
And then the next day say, well, I don't have it because the FBI in New York, they won't release it.
They're holding the documents and then not send FBI to the FBI office and arrest those people that would not turn over the records that you said they were holding.
Why didn't that happen?
I personally think it was just another lie or gaff from you.
It was you were incompetent and not ready to deal with it and you opened your mouth.
That's what I think happened.
And that's the kindest I can get.
So the Jeffrey Epstein thing, complete bungling of it.
The lack of criminal prosecution for James Comey, for Clapper, for the lying under oath on so many things, but let's just say Russia Gate.
The collusion with the press and the use of the release of secret information to the press.
We know it.
We have the memos.
We've seen the memos.
Why hasn't anybody been charged?
Why haven't these two been charged?
Ricky, can you tell me, have they even lost their national security clearances?
I don't think they have, but I'll double check that while you're going off, yes.
Just check.
Yeah, okay.
Next, the lack of criminal prosecution against Adam Schiff or the New York Attorney General Letitia James or anyone else that tried to weaponize the justice system against political opponents.
Most prominently, that would be Trump.
Where is any case on that?
And you know what?
If you don't have a case, say you don't have a case, but don't just leave it hanging out there.
Lack of arrests for various Democratic scandals, including the Russia collusion hoax.
Where's that?
The Mar-a-Lago raid.
I mean, we keep finding out it's worse and worse and worse and nothing happens.
How about the 2020 election fraud?
That scandal.
At least the lack of investigations into and answers on whether there was fraud.
Nothing?
You got nothing.
A year in, you got nothing.
Okay.
How about the lack of action regarding Doge's fraud findings?
A lot of fraud there.
Who went to jail?
Who are you even considering putting in jail?
Do you know how much money has been stolen from the American people and it appears our DOJ doesn't give a flying crap?
You can't have a country run like this.
You can't.
And Pam, that's your responsibility.
That's your responsibility.
Where are all the arrests and investigations into all the state and federal government that participated in the Somali fraud?
I know you're going and you're getting the Somalis.
You got some Russians and I congratulate you on that.
But I want to see the people that were involved at the airport.
I want to see the bankers that knew.
I want to see the people that turned a blind eye.
I want to see people who actually planned it.
Where is that?
I know you're only a year into it.
How long do we have to wait here?
How about the failure to drain the swamp on the deep state actors working against the American people and their elected officials?
Do we have anything on that?
Anything.
Anything.
The failure to prosecute anyone involved in the Biden era weaponization of government.
Dare I even say COVID?
The Unjust Face Act arrests.
Everything the Twitter files exposed about what the government was doing.
Where is a single arrest?
Where and when will someone pay for any of this?
How about Biden's Auto Penn scandal?
Where the hell's that?
How about this?
How about the lies that happened under oath by the Capitol Police, proven to be lies by videotape about January 6th?
January 6th.
What about the pipe bomber?
Definitely not that guy.
We got this guy over here.
Uh-huh.
What about the FBI lying about the number of agents that were actually there at January 6th?
We're going to do anything about that.
Here's one of my favorites.
This is a recent hit.
The lack of going after the Clintons for non-Epstein-related reasons, like Gazprom and Uranium One.
We got that one dead to rights.
Benghazi, dead to rights.
Hillary's email server, dead to rights.
Claims of fraud in Haiti with the Clinton initiative, dead to rights.
Anything the Clinton Foundation has touched, I'm pretty sure you can find something.
And what happens?
You don't do anything.
So Congress has a little show trial to enrage the left and the right based on a phishing expedition that you're not going to get anything from, except you're going to get people riled up on teams.
That's not helpful to the republic.
How about the lack of apparent investigations into George Soros and all of his foundations?
I know you're just starting that.
Can we get an update at all?
Why does this man have so much influence in our politics?
Everyone knows.
And there's zero pushback from anybody in power.
I mean, you could go back to the Ukraine color revolution of 2014, you know, which of course led them to try to impeach Trump, but, you know, the lack of investigations in COVID is astounding.
No one went to jail.
You know how many people died?
Because you all colluded.
You colluded.
You knew this was untested.
You knew it had dangers.
You didn't tell us about it.
Collusion, Consequences, and Sovereignty 00:15:56
Instead, you said, you have to take it.
Nobody goes to jail for that.
No one.
No one pays a price.
How many people in this world, let alone this country, died because of that?
And by the way, what about buddying up with China and being partially responsible for COVID?
Is anybody going to pay a price for that?
Or do we just not care?
Because it's science.
You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.
Need a little more?
Check out the full show podcasts anywhere you download podcasts.
Let me start with Europe.
Then I'm going to take you to a chalkboard.
Europe is going to fall, period.
And it's not going to fall because it was conquered.
It's going to fall because it's decided it's not worth standing.
NATO is worthless.
It exists as a press release more than a deterrent.
Its power is nothing but theoretical, conditional.
It's wrapped in footnotes, domestic politics, all of this crap.
It depends openly on the United States to do what Europe won't do.
What they won't pay for, what they won't prepare for, what they won't provoke, and if necessary, what they won't believe, what they will not bleed for.
And I'm not bleeding for anybody else.
And this is nowhere as clear as it is in Great Britain, especially today.
Britain is now speaks the language.
I mean, I think this is the nation of Winston Churchill that used to speak with resolve.
Now their language is all international law and managed transition.
That's really important.
Managed decline and managed transition.
And they're giving up strategic ground here, not because they have to, but because they don't believe it should carry the moral weight of power anymore.
Let me tell you about Diego Garcia.
Diego Garcia is one of the most strategic bases in the world.
Diego Garcia is equidistant.
It's in the middle of the ocean, equidistant from the Middle East, East Africa, India, Pakistan, Southeast Asia, and Western China.
You can strike any of our foes in this area without flyovers because it's out in the ocean.
It's not easy to get to.
We have everything staged there in case there's a problem with Taiwan, in case there's a trouble with Japan or South Korea or in the Persian Gulf.
This is where our aircraft carriers are stored.
This is where our nuclear submarines sit.
I mean, it is a deepwater port.
And it's strategic.
You can strike anything at any time from this location.
And it doesn't have a host nation.
There is no government.
It's this little spot of land that we made into an Air Force base and a naval base.
And so there's no protests.
There's nothing.
It's just pure position of power.
Airbase, deepwater port.
It's pre-positioned for wars.
It's a listening station.
It has our nukes.
It watches for nuke launches from China, North Korea, Iran.
It is also when we had the space shuttle, when it would take off, they would always say they're now past turning around.
They can't land at any place else.
They have to go to Diego Garcia because it's on the other side of the planet.
And that's where sometimes our space shuttles would re-entry.
So it is important for space as well.
Most importantly, it is the strategic point for all of international shipping.
The reason why we have such stable international shipping to and from China and the Far East is because of this.
It is also the reason why we have protected oil from the Straits of Ormuz, because of Diego Garcia.
Last year, when the prime minister was here in Washington, D.C. with our president, he said, by the way, the international courts, they're very upset.
They say that we're colonialists and we don't want to be a colonialist country anymore.
So we're going to have to give up Diego Garcia.
But we expect you're not going to do it.
Oh, thank you.
Okay.
It's just better for us if we are not part of that anymore.
Okay.
So Trump said, I can see your point, I guess.
So, I mean, we'll take care of that.
And so we did.
Well, now, now that Greenland, everybody's like, why do you want Greenland?
You're just an aggressor.
No, now he's brought this up and said, this is why we want Greenland.
Okay?
Because you don't want an alliance.
You want dependency with a smile.
We are not doing all of this for you so you can sit back and go, oh, well, we're not an aggressor.
We're not a colonialist country because we get that crap too.
We just fight it.
But they gave in to the international court.
Okay.
So, you know, they inherited security, a lot of it from us.
They outsourced their defense from us.
They convinced themselves that their history was over.
They dismantled their armories, their armies.
They mocked their borders, treated their sovereignty as a social construct.
And now, look at the situation they're in.
They've welcomed millions of people in, as have we, with no intention at all of assimilating.
And then they're shocked.
What?
There's a parallel society happening?
What?
I can't.
Well, we don't want to be colonizers.
Well, what the hell are they?
They're colonizing your country.
They cut deals with Russia, even though they know that's really bad, but they do it anyway.
They're financing the regime, Russia, that they fear the most.
They've chained themselves to China for manufacturing.
They've hollowed out their own economies.
And they've lectured the United States for being too strong.
Oh, okay.
Well, you know what?
I think the West needs a good, strong defender myself.
And here's what's happening.
Donald Trump does not believe the West is a social construct.
He believes it as a civilization.
He believes it is something that has been good.
And he believes that it's worth defending.
But it'll only be defended by people who are willing to bear the cost.
And Europe is not.
Let me tell you, really, seriously.
You know, Canada is thinking about sending a few troops to Greenland too.
Oh, boy, you scare me, Canada and France and Denmark.
The only country over there that scares me is Germany.
And that's just because I know what those sick freaks do.
Everybody else, oh, wow, you're really frightening.
You're really frightening.
I don't want to take it.
I don't want to send planes to Greenland.
I'm not for any of that.
I don't want war.
I don't want any of it.
I would like to buy it.
I'd like to do a treaty.
But Donald Trump, I am telling you now, he sees war on the horizon and not a war that he is causing, a war because all of these countries are collapsing.
I've been talking about this for almost 20 years.
The last stage is war because that's how you change governments, currency, and borders.
So what America should be asking itself right now is whether or not NATO is going to survive.
Is NATO going to be survival?
Is it going to survive?
Is Europe going to survive?
Are they doing the things to make themselves stronger?
Or are they just a bunch of nations that just give speeches and resolutions?
You know, because the world will once again measure things the way it used to measure things.
Who showed up?
Who paid?
Who acted?
Who bled?
Who died?
And who hesitated?
Right now, Great Britain and much of Europe are signaling something I think very unmistakable.
They expect the United States to stand alone again while they preserve comfort, avoid confrontation, and hope history grants them one more exemption.
But it's not going to.
It's not going to.
History doesn't grant exemptions.
It doesn't.
It only tests resolve.
And they have no resolve to stand and be who they were born to be.
I think, I mean, this is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
When I got up this morning and I saw in the news, Diego Garcia is trending.
I'm like, for what?
I look into it and they're giving it up?
They're what?
I mean, a year ago, President Trump was like, I get it.
I understand.
He was being a diplomat.
No more time for diplomats.
That now, now Greenland, too.
You're telling us, hey, will you watch our back over in Greenland?
Because we really, oh, we're kind of scared of the international court.
So you watch our back over here with Diego Garcia because you guys can take care of stuff.
But damn it, we want Greenland.
Oh, because when the going gets tough, what?
What?
Let me tell you.
Tomorrow, Donald Trump is going to be at the World Economic Forum.
And there is a speech that I want him to give.
I want him to look the international European community right directly in the eye and say, you know what?
For more than three decades, a single idea shaped global policy.
And that idea, that idea is just wrong, and we're not going to do it.
The idea was that nations were outdated, that borders and sovereignty and culture and democratic consent should give way to permanent global management by unelected institutions.
Not going to stand for it.
And he needs to say tomorrow, that era is over.
You know, it's not over because of ideology and not because of politics, but because it is a failure.
It has hollowed out our middle class, not just in our country, but all over the world.
It has destabilized the democracies.
Are we stronger because of it now?
It rewards corruption.
It punished production and replaced accountability with bureaucracy.
Tell me how this is good.
And then when the financial crisis comes, any crisis, financial, medical, military, it was nations, not global panels that were forced to answer for the consequences.
It was individual nations that answered for it, except for COVID.
And look at your track record on that.
Donald Trump needs to look him right straight in the eye tomorrow and say, let me be very clear.
Cooperation is not over.
Trade is not over.
Engagement is not over.
But what is over is the belief that the world can be run by people who no one elected using rules no one voted on, enforced by institutions that no one can ever remove or stop.
What's begun is a return to reality.
And I'm your reality check.
A return to strong sovereign nations working together openly, directly, and with responsibility to their own citizens first, because that's the only model that has ever produced lasting peace and prosperity.
And it's not theory.
I'm not here to tell you, I hope he says something like this, to tell you a theory.
I'm here to take action because it's already underway.
In the Arctic Circle, in the North Atlantic, we are acting to secure critical shipping lanes, energy access, defense infrastructure, because the map matters.
Geography matters.
Greenland matters.
And ignoring that reality doesn't make it disappear.
In our own hemisphere, we are confronting the collapse of Venezuela, a country destroyed by corruption, criminal networks, and authoritarian rule.
And you want more of it.
It's not just a tragedy for its people.
It's a regional security and migration crisis.
And we're not going to pretend like you're pretending otherwise now.
Accountability has got to begin, and we begun it.
In the Middle East, we're dealing with Iran as it is, not as we wish it were.
Nuclear ambitions, terrorism, regional destabilization, they're not misunderstandings.
Those are clear choices, and choices have consequences.
And at the same time, we're restoring energy realism, industrial strength.
We're securing our borders.
We're trying to bolster our currency sovereignty at home because we cannot lead abroad if we're weak within.
What I want the president to say at the World Economic Forum tomorrow is this.
Let me say this directly to you.
I came here with all of my people because I want you to know America is done outsourcing its strength.
We're done outsourcing our security and our future.
We're done pretending that prosperity comes from paperwork instead of production or that peace comes from a conference instead of deterrence.
But no, we're not turning inward.
I invite every serious nation here to work with us, not through a distant bureaucracy, not through ideological frameworks, but nation to nation with clarity, fairness, and mutual respect.
If you believe in growth built on work, security built on strength, cooperation built on consent, then there's a place outside of America for what's coming next because you're denying what's coming next.
If you believe the old system can just be managed better, regulated more carefully, or explained more persuasively with your citizens, then understand this.
The world has already moved on from you.
You already have lost.
And I may be a temporary president, but I'm doing everything I can.
This is not a pause, and it's not a negotiation.
I'm here to announce a transition.
The era of unaccountable global management is over.
The era of sovereign cooperation has begun.
We're moving forward decisively, openly, and with confidence.
You want to join us?
We welcome you as a partner, but we're not waiting around because what's coming is not good and it's right around the corner.
The End of Global Management 00:00:58
You imagine the president coming in and saying that, I mean, that is a, that's a Gorbachev Tear Down These Walls speech.
And that's exactly what he needs to say.
That's what Reagan said by saying, you know, tear down this wall.
What he was saying was, your era is over.
And that's what the president needs to say tomorrow.
And I hope he's, I hope he's there.
I really hope he's there.
He, I mean, he's got to be.
I mean, everything he's saying, he knows what he's dealing with, but he is, he's bringing everybody.
We're having the largest delegation anyone has ever brought to Davos, and that's tomorrow.
And I think that's just to show strength and numbers.
Like, okay, we'll be on every single one of your little conference talks.
United States is going to be heard on this.
We're playing a different game.
Wouldn't that be nice?
