Host critiques Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's law-and-order claims, citing $700 million sent to Somalia and daycare fraud as leadership failures. He analyzes the shooting of Alex Predty, contrasting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's account of a nine-millimeter handgun with BBC footage showing an agent removing a weapon before bystander shouts triggered shots. While condemning Antifa recruiter Kyle's call for armed resistance, the host links Minnesota unrest to global instability, noting gold prices rising to $5,100 per ounce and Japan's economic struggles. Ultimately, he warns that targeting federal agents violates the First Amendment, risks fascism, and could trigger the Insurrection Act. [Automatically generated summary]
Hey, update on what's really going on in Minnesota, how things are accelerating and why that's bad.
Also, $5,100 for gold and all of the possible tripwires.
Why is this happening and what does it mean to you?
And the lead up to Alex Predty getting shot by Border Patrol.
Where do you stand on that?
What's right?
What's wrong?
We'll give that to you all on today's podcast.
So let me tell you about Relief Factor.
I want to tell you about Brian.
He lives in Alabama.
He says, after taking Relief Factor for just three weeks, 90% of my pain is gone.
My pain started to limit me at work and then at home, and I am amazed at what it has done and the relief that I've gotten.
I can tell you that Brian's story is similar to my own and so many other people that write in and talk to us about it.
The amazement part really is everything we all have in common.
I can't believe this actually worked.
When I first tried Relief Factor, I didn't expect it to do anything at all, but you can bet I was incredibly surprised when it not only helped, but it basically helped me get my life back.
And it could help you too.
It's created by doctors.
Relief Factor is 100% drug-free product using four key ingredients that support the body's natural inflammatory response.
Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor like Brian and me, and two-thirds of them, you know, go on to order more month after month because I'm not dealing with the kind of pain I was dealing with before.
Relief Factor.
See if Relief Factoring can help get you out of pain.
Call 800, the number four relief.
800 for relief.
Relief Factor.
How will it feel to be out of pain?
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, Willis.
Now let's get to work.
Hey, update on what's really going on in Minnesota, how things are accelerating and why that's bad.
Also, $5,100 for gold and all of the possible tripwires.
Why is this happening and what does it mean to you?
And the lead up to Alex Predty getting shot by Border Patrol.
Where do you stand on that?
What's right?
What's wrong?
We'll give that to you all on today's podcast.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
So Tim Wall said over the weekend, what's your plan, Donald Trump?
What's your plan?
Well, the plan is to go get the bad guys and then leave your state.
But that doesn't seem to be working because you have a different plan.
He said, what do we need to get these federal agents out of our state?
Let them do their job.
Just let them do their job.
He said, if fear, violence, and chaos is what you wanted from us.
No, that's not what he wanted from you.
No, that's what you're giving, but that's not what he wanted.
Then you clearly underestimated the people and this state and nation.
We're tired, but we're resolved.
We're peaceful, but we'll never forget.
We're angry, but we won't give up on hope.
And above all, we're clearly unified.
I wonder about that one.
I wonder about that one.
I mean, I think people who are not thinking are unified, but this is a time for all Americans.
These are the times that try men's souls.
He said, we believe in law and order in this state.
Hmm.
You know, that one, that kind of stuck to me.
You know, Minnesota believes in law and order.
I want to believe that.
Really do, because Americans want to believe that about themselves.
I want to believe.
I believe in law and order, but it's hard sometimes.
But belief is not proven by slogans or words from some leader.
It's proven by what you tolerate and what you punish.
Law and order is not a yard sign that you put up.
It's not a press release, okay, after something's burned down, you don't say, we don't believe in burning cities down unless you've arrested those people.
Law and order is discipline.
It's quiet.
Honestly, it should be very boring.
It's relentless.
And yeah, sometimes it's really unpopular.
So, Governor Walsh, can I just talk about the record here for a second?
Because that one really stuck out.
Minnesotans believe in law and order.
You just lived through what prosecutors and investigators themselves have called the largest fraud scheme in American history.
Hundreds of millions siphoned through daycare programs meant for the poor.
Children used as cover.
Taxpayers robbed blind.
$700 million just going through the airport to Somalia.
Can I ask you, if you believe in law and order, how many people at the state level, how many people has your attorney general prosecuted and arrested?
How many?
How many?
Because that doesn't seem like law and order.
It seems like you are trying to not let people investigate that.
The way you're behaving is not law and order.
It's permission.
Now, let's rewind a few years ago.
Police precincts overrun.
Entire neighborhoods burned.
Small businesses erased in a single night.
And what did you and the leadership say in effect?
Stand down, de-escalate, understand the anger, and release those, anybody who was, you know, caught.
We have to become really, really clear on a few things.
Anger is not a defense in a republic.
Arson is not speech.
A society that believes in law and order doesn't hesitate to defend the innocent because it's afraid of the headlines.
Now, fast forward today.
Activists coordinating.
Wait till you see the news.
We'll show you in just a few minutes.
Actually coordinating to mark and track down federal agents.
Shadow networks warning of enforcement actions.
Open calls to stop the federal government by force if necessary.
In fact, let me just play that here real quick.
Let me see if I can find it.
Let's just play here.
Here's an Antifa recruiter.
Cut to please.
My name is Kyle.
I'm Antifa.
And there's so much rage in me that I've had to record this like 15 times trying to get the message out.
They fed up.
Okay.
Go watch my other videos.
Doesn't matter if you're not here and you're not caught up.
You've missed the fight.
But if you are, it's time to suit up.
Boots on the ground.
Show up.
Ready to go.
Okay.
I'm not talking about peaceful protests anymore.
We're not talking about having polite conversations anymore.
I am talking specifically to my followers.
This is everything I have talked about.
And this is exactly what I said was going to happen.
This is not a joke.
There's nothing fun to chant about it.
Get your guns and stop these people.
Is that law and order?
Notice what he started with.
I am so enraged.
When you're enraged, you're not making good decisions.
You're not.
You're just not.
I know, because those are the things I usually have to go back and apologize for.
Those are the things when I get really, really pissed off.
Those are the things that my wife usually says to me.
I wouldn't say that right now.
I wouldn't do that right now.
I would relax.
I would, you should pause.
And I don't do it and I get in trouble every single time.
You don't make good decisions when you're enraged.
Okay.
Now, again, the message from the top is, is not the law will be enforced.
It's this.
It's the problem is the enforcement.
Well, that's an inversion of everything we know because law and order is not about whether you like the law.
It's about whether or not the law applies even when you don't like it.
So here's the hard truth.
Minnesota does not have a law and order problem because the people hate order.
Minnesota has a law and order problem because its leadership has taught a generation that law is optional if your cause feels righteous enough.
And that's why it's becoming deadly.
And history is very clear on this point.
We're not the first ones to go through this.
Can somebody, for the love of Pete, I shouldn't say these things when I get angry.
Can somebody please read a history book?
Just pick one up anyplace.
Anyplace.
When violence is excused as contextual, when enforcement is treated as provocation, when prosecutors calculate politics before justice, the center doesn't hold, okay?
It just doesn't.
You don't get peace.
You get what we have in Minnesota.
You get escalation.
Because once a group learns that pressure works, that intimidation stalls the state, another group is going to learn it too.
And then another and then another.
You know, what do you want?
Minnesota, what do you want the federal government to do?
What do you want them to do?
We want them to leave.
You think they're going to leave?
Do you think they're going to leave?
Let's just talk about this rationally.
Do you think they're going to leave if you are having uprisings in the street?
No, they can't leave.
Why?
Well, does anybody remember 1982, Beirut?
There were two terrorist bombings.
Reagan's like, no, we got to pull out.
Everybody else was like, no, don't, don't pull out.
He lasted a couple of years, but eventually pulled the Marines out because they were killing.
They were just kept hitting us with terror.
So he's like, you know what?
We just don't need to be there anymore.
Pulls them out.
Who does that teach?
A very important lesson.
Osama bin Laden.
Osama bin Laden saw that and went, oh, we can push around the federal government.
So he's not going to leave.
And you know he's not going to leave.
So what's your plan?
What is your plan?
Your plan is more chaos.
Well, this is how republics rot.
And they really rot when people shrug.
Okay.
It's not a coup.
It's a shrug.
Most people are like, I don't know.
I didn't pay attention.
Let me be absolutely clear here.
You have a right to protest.
And I will stand up even if I despise the things you say.
Even if you are, you are picketing IC and you are shouting slogans at ICE and you're demanding that the government respond to X, Y, and Z. All of those things are your right.
And I'm 100% behind you.
100%.
May not agree with you.
In fact, may really disagree with you.
This is not about crushing dissent.
It's not about silencing protest.
This is not about blind loyalty to authority.
Wait until you hear me talk about the shooting today.
But this is something far more fragile.
This is talking about legitimacy.
Because law only works when people believe that it, when people believe that it's real.
When it's real for the powerful, real for the connected, real for the activist, real for the bureaucrat, real for the federal agent, real for the protester, and real for the governor.
One standard.
The moment Americans believe that justice depends on ideology, the argument's already lost.
The street takes over.
So what does that tell you, America?
What does that tell you, Pambandi?
I'm not against Pambandi.
I'm not against, I'm not against any of it.
I'm for law and order because I understand how valuable it is.
If you don't prosecute both Republicans and Democrats and hell, I'll just throw them in independents.
If you don't process and prosecute everybody with the same laws, nobody's going to believe in anything.
And then you have nothing left.
The center doesn't hold.
So, no, Minnesota, you don't get away with saying that you believe in law and order while fraud is largely unpunished and you're not doing anything about.
Riots are rebranded as a peaceful moment.
And enforcement is treated like the real crime.
Belief without action is theater.
Law and order is not proven by words or, you know, the words that are spoken after chaos.
It's proven by what you do before chaos and what you refuse to excuse after the chaos.
The good news is we haven't crossed the Rubicon yet, but we're close.
You know, only if leaders remember somehow what we used to know instinctively will we survive.
A republic survives not because everybody agrees, but because the law applies even when we don't agree.
That's not authoritarianism.
That's called civilization.
And if we forget that, Minnesota will not be the exception.
It will be the warning.
And hear me, we're not talking about the Republic.
We are talking about civilization.
Now, I'm going to show you next, we've taken another step to cross the Rubicon.
We're not there yet, but we are close to that bridge.

The Yen Carry Trade Explained00:08:32
American financing.
Most people track their budget month to month, but very few ever step back and look at the structure underneath it all.
Really peel back all the later layers.
I mean, there are loan terms, the interest, the single decision that you might have made years ago.
It still can shape every paycheck today.
And that's where American financing comes in.
Their entire approach is built around helping people understand the math of their own finances, not rushing them into something new, but making sure that what they have still makes sense.
And for a lot of homeowners, that conversation opens up options that they really didn't even know they were there.
Options that can mean more flexibility, more stability, more control over how much money moves through your household every month.
This is not about quick fixes or shortcuts.
It's about aligning your financial structure with real life.
So your money is working for you instead of quietly working against you.
When the foundation is solid, everything built on top of it feels a lot more steady.
There are no upfront fees.
You just find out if you're qualified.

This is the best of the Glenbeck program.
Gold, $5,100 an ounce.
Okay, why is this happening?
Well, the first thing that you need to understand is gold is a barometer.
Gold is a barometer of belief.
And what happened last week?
What was the consensus that came out of the World Economic Forum for the entire world to see?
I want you to think of this like a guy who has billions of dollars that you could invest because to stay safe, to stay ahead of the game, you have to think like that and then act in your own world.
And if I have time today, otherwise I'll do it tomorrow.
I'm going to show you how you interpret this and how you can act at all levels.
Okay.
But you have to think like a billionaire.
And the billionaires are moving money.
Okay.
Why are they moving money?
What happened last week?
What happened last week was at the WEF.
The WEF openly came out and said the old system doesn't work and it's failing.
So it was a consensus around the world that what the West has built no longer is any good and it won't work.
Got to find a way out.
That's what all smart money, all central banks, the entire world that's paying attention.
That is the message that they heard last week at the WEF.
Okay.
Now let me layer on a couple of other things that you probably don't know.
We are headed towards a tripwire and it's a race to the finish line.
So let me give you the first tripwire and that is Japan.
Japan is imagine an old man on a treadmill.
Okay.
This old Japanese man on a treadmill.
It was supposed to be temporary, him on this treadmill, but it turned into a life support machine.
And now he's got to keep running.
If he's not running, everything dies.
Okay.
For 40 years, Japan has been like that little guy on the treadmill, told, you got to keep moving.
You can't stop.
Stay, stay.
Because if you stop, it means recession.
So what's wrong with recession?
Here's the part that nobody's ever really told you.
Americans don't realize.
If he stops, it's bad.
If he speeds up, it's bad.
And not bad for Japan, but us.
Here's why.
Japan's government has piled up so much debt that even normal interest costs become dangerous.
That's why Japan has spent decades now making money too easy at home.
Okay.
0%.
At some point, they were in negative interest rates.
Okay.
Please take the money.
We'll pay you to take the money.
Interest rates.
If borrowing ever gets expensive, the bill will swallow the budget in Japan and here.
And the world has gotten used to a place where Japan was the place to go borrow cheap money.
Now, here's where the story becomes our problem.
Japan is not just a country.
Japan is a country we've kept alive for a couple of reasons.
One of them is they are a gigantic buyer of American IOUs.
You'll hear them talked about as bonds, okay?
But they're IOUs.
We're like, hey, we want to build this train to nowhere.
We're only going to build a mile's worth of track and we're going to be $4 billion over budget.
But we're telling you up front, it's not going anywhere.
We need the $4 billion.
Okay.
And Japan, because they needed us, Japan would go, we'll buy that.
We'll buy that.
They now hold about $1.2 trillion in treasuries.
They're the largest foreign holder.
It's not China, thank God.
It's Japan.
And that matters because their purchasing helps keep our borrowing costs from rising even faster.
But the treadmill is starting to wobble.
In late 2025 into this month, 2026, Japan's long bond yields have surged.
Japan's 40-year government bond yield moved above 4% since the first time that the bonds existed.
What does that mean?
That means if you borrowed money from Japan, you are you are now or if you yeah, if you want to borrow money from Japan, it now is going to cost you 4%.
It used to be zero.
This means the market doesn't want to play pretend anymore with Japan.
Okay, they're not satisfied with that.
And when Japan's yields rise, the temptation begins.
I can get 4% in Japan if I buy a bond.
Why would I lend to America when I can lend to Japan for more?
So the money that used to flow outward can come home.
Now, let me explain Tripwire without all the Wall Street language.
For years, people borrowed in yen because it was cheap.
So what did they do?
Because it was 0% interest or negative percent interest, you would go over and you'd say, I want to borrow a billion dollars.
And people would borrow a billion dollars, a billion yen.
And they would buy it and they'd get it.
Sometimes they were making money on borrowing it, but at least it was zero.
And they would trade those yen into U.S. dollars.
And then they would buy things that paid more.
So the stock market or a U.S. bond or whatever.
Okay.
This is called the yen carry trade.
Here's what you need to know about it.
It doesn't work.
Okay.
It's so unbelievably immoral.
It's just frightening.
So what they were doing was they're buying a bunch of cheap yen printed over in Japan.
They would then take that yen, which they sometimes, again, were making money on borrowing.
Think of Goldman Sachs going over, a big bank going over and saying, I want a billion yen.
And we're going to take that billion yen.
We're going to get out of that, you know, half a billion dollars.
And we're going to take that half a billion dollars and we're going to invest it in Wall Street.
We're making money from Japan because they're giving us 1% on borrowing that.
They're giving us an additional 1% every year for holding those yen and taking that loan out from them.
And then we go to Wall Street, we make 6% or 8% or 10%.
So we're making 11%.
This is great.
We win.
Unless things change, if the yen suddenly swings the other way, if it strengthens, the borrowers panic, okay?
And they rush to undo the trade.
Escalating Gun Situation00:15:31
Why?
Why?
Because that money's not free.
And when you rush to undo it, you sell the things you bought with dollars and you get back into the yen.
That pushes U.S. markets around.
That pushes U.S. interest rates up.
That turns a problem over there into a problem over here.
So Japan is trapped.
And the trap has a wire running across the Pacific tied to the exact same global system America sits inside.
So that's the first reason why gold is screaming.
It's saying, wait, wait, wait, what's happening with Japan?
Japan can't move.
And Japan's going to have to move.
But they can't move.
Now, there's another side of this.
From Japan, go across the sea and you go to China.
China is much, much worse.
Okay.
Much, much worse.
And nobody's willing to talk about this.
And this leads to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
And we really want to thank you for listening.
Gosh, I want to take you through some of the stuff that happened up in Minnesota before I get to this video of Alex Predty.
and him being shot.
So let me, first of all, I played this earlier.
Let me just play just a little bit.
This is a woman who was somehow or another on an ICE database on the left.
And to show you how well coordinated this is, there's this database and this woman and her husband, she's a journalist.
She was being followed by these ICE protesters because she was on a database and they thought she was ICE.
And every time she would stop someplace, they would start to gather around and go, your ice, your ice, get out of the house.
Shame on you, all this stuff.
Well, she eventually pulls over and she's like, we're not ICE.
Okay.
We're not ICE.
We have nothing to do with ICE.
I just want to play a little bit of this because I want to show you how dangerous this situation is becoming.
Cut three.
So she's pulled over and she is now being honked at by one of the cars.
We are not ice.
We're not ice.
We're not ice.
So she's coming out.
We're not ice.
They've been following.
We're not ice.
Now the whistles start.
And if you're watching the video, you will see all of the things that we're doing.
We're just letting them know in that descend around her car.
Right.
And nothing.
Nothing she says.
She's been reasoning.
Nothing she says is going to satisfy this mob.
Let's go.
Because they've been following us for over an hour.
We didn't even know they were following us and then we came up and tell you guys you hadn't following.
What are you going to do?
They're following you because you're ice.
I mean, it's just ridiculous.
Okay, stop.
So what else happened this weekend?
Well, I showed you earlier a video of a self-proclaimed Antifa member saying, get your guns.
You got to stop these people.
Now is the time for violence.
And you have an ICE agent who had his finger bit off.
We have that full screen.
Put that up.
Here's the ICE agent.
And protesters grabbed him and bit his finger off.
I mean, that's, I don't know, that's a little insane.
Then you have this.
Let me play the ICE agent who's bloodied in front of a hotel because they thought there were ICE agents in the hotel.
Turns out there were no ICE agents in the hotel.
But you can see one of the hotel.
And then you're seeing the one ICE agent with a bloody nose, blood all over his mask, down his shirt and onto his hands.
Don't know how he got bloodied, but I'm guessing it wasn't that he fell and had a boo-boo.
So you have all of this stuff happening.
And we now know this weekend, it's been confirmed.
It is being coordinated on signal.
Very, very dangerous.
Now let me take it from the other side.
Alex Predty is this guy who shows up.
He's part of the protests and he's got the whistle and he's obnoxious and everything else.
And he is starting to go after ICE agents and really get into their face.
They push him back.
He pushes back.
They push him harder.
And it just gets into, honestly, it's like a little seventh grade pushing match at first.
It's just so stupid that any of this happened.
Well, he gets shot.
Play cut nine here.
This is the ice shooting video from Alex Pretty.
There's his whistle.
Oh, it's so great.
Okay, now you're going to see him, all these people, all they're doing is just trying to, you know, stop ICE from doing their job.
And the ICE agent pulls out a gun and shoots Alex as he's laying down on the ground.
Here he comes.
They're pushing him.
They grab him.
They put him down on the ground and there's a bunch of them.
What's wrong with you?
Honestly.
Now listen because you'll hear one of the cops say, gun, gun, gun.
Then you hear the shots, okay?
And they shoot him.
Okay, let me take this from the BBC perspective because they show the other side of this crowd from a different perspective.
And I think this is important.
Here's the BBC's perspective on what happened.
Go ahead and roll that.
Rosakin's report contains footage, which, again, you may find distressing.
The first video we have of Alex Pretty, he's in the road, holding a phone and talking with a federal agent.
The officer pushes him and he steps backwards.
Christy Noam is U.S. Homeland Security Secretary.
This is her account of why Alex Pretty died.
An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a nine millimeter semi-automatic handgun.
The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently.
But in this video, as in others, Alex Pretty had nothing in one hand, a phone in the other.
We see two people interacting with an agent.
We then see an agent push one of those people, then push the second person.
Alex Pretty steps between them and the agent and is pepper sprayed.
He's wrestled to the ground by a number of agents.
He's on his knees, bent over.
His hands are on the floor and he's struggling against being held down.
One agent repeatedly strikes in the direction of his head.
And take note of this agent.
He has nothing in his right hand, reaches down and removes what appears to be a gun from Alex Pretty's waistband.
Then he steps back, holding the pistol, which appears to match this image shared by the authorities.
Carrying this type of gun is legal in Minnesota with a valid permit.
The police say they believe Alex Pretty had one.
Less than a second after the gun is removed, an agent fires the first shot.
As Alex Pretty lies motionless, further shots are fired while agents are standing clear.
So this is compelling video because what this BBC reporter is saying is true.
It's absolutely true.
He is getting in between him, the police and somebody else.
The police are shoving.
He is only holding a phone.
He is down on the ground.
He is resisting arrest, but his hands are down on the ground.
His head is down on the ground.
Then another agent reaches over on top of the other agents who are closest to him on the ground, reaches into his back where he sees an exposed gun, pulls the gun out, and then walks away with the gun.
So he's no longer armed unless he has two guns and they don't claim that he had two guns, only one.
And pulls it out and walks away.
Right after that, somebody yells, gun, gun, gun, gun.
That's when the police officer fires at him.
Now, the other police officer did not know that somebody reached in and took his gun.
It might have been somebody who was saying gun might have been saying it because they saw the other guy, because he's not marked as a federal agent.
The other guy pulled a gun out and walking there with a gun.
So somebody might have seen him with a gun and said, gun, gun, gun.
All the cops think that it's pretty and they shoot him.
Okay.
This is not something that you deal with as, you know, an eight-year-old.
This is a conversation for adults to have.
And I'm not hearing the adults.
First of all, what Noam said is not true.
He didn't approach.
If you want to say technically, he approached carrying a nine millimeter, he did, but it was holstered and in his back.
And you have a right to carry a gun at a protest.
I don't think that makes you smart, but it does.
It is perfectly legal and constitutionally protected.
So I'm sorry, just because you have a gun in your back, if you reach for the gun, if you pull for the gun, then you could probably be expected to be shot if you are pushing the police around.
But if you have a gun and you don't have your hands on it, you should not be shot.
You have a right to carry that gun peacefully.
Okay.
The minute you start pointing it at people, you're in trouble.
He did not.
He did not.
So this idea that he was foolish for walking into this protest with a gun, well, you have a right to carry it.
And quite honestly, if I'm walking into places like that and I'm not going to get involved, I probably do carry my gun.
If I'm going to get involved, I think of the consequences and think, boy, that's probably going to get me killed.
Unless I'm planning on killing somebody, assuming I'm going to get involved.
There's the way I would think would be, I'm not carrying my gun because that could get me killed.
Okay.
Because I don't, I'm not going to, when I'm in, when I'm in a dangerous situation, it's not going to be with the other Antifa people.
I'll be in a dangerous situation because of the police and I make my decision right then and there.
Am I willing to pull the gun on the police?
No, I'm not.
So leave the gun at home.
But he has a right to do it.
And he has a right to carry it and even be in a confrontation with the police as long as he never reaches for it.
But this is where I go to the cop side.
You're in a chaotic situation.
This is why I would not carry a gun in a situation like this, because you're in a chaotic situation.
Nobody really knows what's going on.
You have a group of people who have been all day been told, we're going to kill you, we're going to kill you, your life means nothing, get out of our city, whatever.
And they're violent towards you.
When you are coming at them and they are pushing you down to the ground, get down on the ground.
Get down on the ground.
Stop resisting.
See, this is not Martin Luther King.
That's what the left has forgotten.
They're trying to make this as moral as Martin Luther King, but they can't do it because it's not as moral as Martin Luther King.
And it's none of the tactics of King.
King knew the only way to win is to go peaceful, nonviolent, always.
King would have let that guy rot in prison and wouldn't have marched for that guy because he had a gun.
Because he made the rest of the movement look dangerous.
Even though he had a right to have a gun, Martin Luther King said, would have said, you don't bring a gun.
You don't push back.
You don't do it because that's the way peaceful protests win.
And everybody who knows anything about protesting knows this.
The left, they've been preaching Martin Luther King forever.
They know this.
This is not the tactic of Martin Luther King.
This is the tactic that escalates, not de-escalates things.
So, where do I stand on the gun thing?
I don't know what Alex, I don't know anything about him.
So I don't know what his intention was.
I can look at the video and say his intention was to protest, was to be obnoxious, was to be one of those people that were right up there, but not necessarily up in the face of the cops until he sees cops starting to push people around.
And then he decides, I'm going to get between them and whoever it was they were pushing.
He doesn't like that, so he gets involved.
The minute he gets involved, the roles change.
He is now somebody that cops in this situation could and should look at as a danger to themselves.
So he made that choice.
I don't know if that was a choice that he made when he got up in the morning.
I don't know what his intentions were.
But once he made that choice, he's going to end up on the ground.
Because it's such a chaotic situation.
I have to side with both him for carrying a gun and being there and seemingly from only footage that I've seen, seemingly not being a real violent guy, but being a dirtbag, but you have a right to be a dirtbag.
Being a dirtbag, but not a violent guy.
I side with him.
But I also side with the cop that shot him because it's a chaotic situation.
Somebody pulls his gun.
A cop pulls his gun.
Somebody else then yells gun, gun, gun.
What do you expect the cops to do?
You've created this situation.
That's why this didn't happen with Martin Luther King protests because they didn't create this situation.
Unfortunately, I think more of this is going to happen.
But we have to be very careful with our words and speak the truth at all times, even if it hurts our side.
That guy, I don't think he should have been shot.
But I also don't think they should prosecute these guys because it's a chaotic situation.
What would you do in that situation?
It's just a really nasty, bad situation.
And more of those are going to happen if this doesn't stop.
It requires leadership.
Simply Safe: Security Without Chaos00:03:48
Back in just a second with more.
First, let me tell you about Simply Safe.
Security should fit into your life without turning into a daily project.
Hey, can you play the First Amendment song when we come out of this 10 seconds here?
It should work quietly in the background.
You know, adapt when your routines change.
Be ready when it actually matters.
Simply Safe was built with that in mind.
The system is straightforward, easy to adjust, easy to set up, designed to grow with your home, whether it means adding sensors, moving things around, or simply knowing it's paying attention when you're not.
You know what's happening.
You don't have to constantly be paying attention because you know the home is monitored and you're not left wondering whether the system is doing what it's supposed to do.
It is.
That peace of mind changes how home feels.
You move through your day with less background noise and background worry.
And at night, you can relax knowing your house is, you know, it's not on its own.
It's safe.
System this easy.
I mean, it's really, really phenomenal.
It's called SimplySafe and you can get it now.
SimplySafe.com is the special still going on.
You have 50% off this system.
This week only it ends.
Go to simply safe.com slash Beck.
That's simplysafe.com slash Beck.
There is no safe like SimplySafe.
10 seconds station ID.
Yeah, we're talking about the first amendment number one.
The founders wrote it down so freedom wouldn't come undone.
It's not just history, it's something that we use.
So let's count the five big freedoms we're allowed to choose.
So turn it up, say it loud, these are rights we should be proud of now.
Freedom of religion, I can choose what I believe on my speech.
Say my thoughts on it.
They are the press.
I'll print the truth, let it flow.
Assemble, meet in peace, let them know when petition.
Yeah, we get to disagree.
Ask the government to change things, that's democracy.
That's five in the first, five in the first.
Those first five rights in the First Amendment, first five in the first.
That gives you the answer of what could happen on the streets.
That gives you everything you need to know on who's right and who's wrong.
Okay?
These people have a right to protest.
They do.
They don't have a right to be violent in their protest.
They don't have a right to target people in their protest.
They have a right to question the government.
They should question the government.
What are you doing?
Or you have warrants for this?
Where are your warrants?
You have a right to ask for those things.
But again, peacefully.
That's not what's happening.
So this is the part that everybody is getting confused on.
I have a right.
Yes, you do have a right.
And I support you doing all of those things, just not the way you are doing them.
You have a responsibility to society to do it the right way.
The reason why Martin Luther King did the protest the way he did is he believed in the system.
He believed we can make the system better.
These people don't believe in the system.
They want to destroy the system.
The whole thing has to come down.
And so chaos and killing and riots, it works to their advantage.
And unfortunately, that is why it's going to put our federal government into a position that they're actually going to love because they're going to turn it into fascism.
But, you know, the Insurrection Act is going to have to be called out.
