DataRepublican reframes Minneapolis unrest as an insurgency led by the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Committee, which he claims promotes revolutionary ideology to abolish borders and the US. Citing Osra Nomani and James O'Keefe, he details how this group equates ICE with the Israeli military, endorses October 7th attacks, and allegedly trains healthcare workers to incapacitate agents with saline or succinylcholine. While describing an autonomous zone that threatened press freedom, the speaker concludes by proposing a disciplined compassion solution involving 350 unarmed individuals to break the conflict's spell and save Western civilization.

Okay, on today's podcast, we have got a lot to cover.
First of all, an update on Minneapolis, what is going on.
Also, a lot of people are thinking that Donald Trump retreated from Minneapolis.
I think he's actually reframing.
I could be wrong on this, but I don't think so.
I think this is, again, the art of the deal.
You just have to see what the deal is and how he is using his art to get there.
And what I believe is the only solution to this situation in Minneapolis.
It's getting more and more clear to me and becoming less and less likely that we're going to find somebody to do it.
And I lay that out in today's podcast.
You don't want to miss today's podcast.
Here it is.
Let me tell you about a Burna launcher.
Most people think seriously about self-defense and they're not looking to make that process more complicated.
In an emergency, you're looking for something that gives them control of the situation.
They want an option that buys them time and space and a way out when a situation turns bad without warning.
Burna makes guns, these less lethal self-defense tool.
They look just like guns.
They operate like a gun, except they don't kill people, but they make them in black so it looks like a gun and they make them also in orange so they don't look like a gun.
And I have to tell you, I've always, I bought the black ones.
I think it's probably pretty wise to buy one that is orange because if you're in a street and you pull out something that looks like a gun, you could get shot.
I want it to be very, very clear.
This is not a gun.
What matters to a lot of people is access.
The Burna launcher is legal in all 50 states, doesn't require a permit anywhere.
It means you don't have to navigate a complicated process or wait on permissions just to have a responsible option available.
Burna is not, it is about preparedness.
It's not about panic, not about expecting trouble, but recognizing when seconds matter, you've got to have a tool that gives you control of that situation.
It makes all the difference.

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.
All right.
Osra Nomani has exposed a network yesterday of far-left organizations, and it is comprehensive.
The Free Beacon also came out yesterday and exposed the Sunrise Movement that is funded by the usual suspect, Soros Tides Ford.
O'Keefe said yesterday, he was in Minneapolis, and he said, there is a territory that is absolutely absence of police.
They knew his license plate.
They said, you're driving this, and if you're not out of the city within one hour, you're dead.
He said, somebody frisked him and the Marine that he was with as if they were the police.
I mean, Minneapolis is out of control.
It is important for people to understand what is going on because this is not a protest.
This is an insurgency.
On today's podcast and at Glennbeck.com, I want to take that torch and light our way here and expose another one of the organizing engines behind this unrest.
And once you see it clearly, you'll understand this is not about immigration, compassion, or civil rights.
This is an insurgency, not a protest.
It's about power.
It's about ideology.
It is about a movement that doesn't believe that America even has a right to exist.
We have been working alongside with the nonprofit Morrow Institute, which this is what they do for a living, and they have uncovered the operational and ideological footprint of a group quietly embedded in the anti-ICE organizing network in Minnesota.
I just have to tell you that I am so happy to see what people have done with their spare time.
When I started exposing these things back in the early 2000s, nobody was on it.
Very few people.
I shouldn't say nobody.
Very few people were on it.
And it was very hard to track these things down.
Now with the internet and ChatGPT and everything else, you can move pretty quickly.
You still are required to have some investigative footing and knowledge, but it is a lot easier than it was.
And like I just said, you have O'Keefe, you have the Free Beacon, you have Osro Nomani, you have us at Glenbeck.com.
And you're seeing these networks in real time.
So the one that the Morrow Institute tipped us off on today, and you'll find this article at Glenbeck.com in Minnesota is the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Committee.
It's known as Mirak, Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee, I think it is.
And you're not going to hear that name on cable news, and you're not going to see it in press releases from City Hall, but you will find it inside the signal chats that were used to organize resistance to federal law enforcement and not casually.
Mirak is listed as a recommended training resource.
And that's all in the documents that are circulating among all the activists, documents instructing participants to, and I quote, train up community members in rapid response and intervention, end quote.
Now, that sounds benign, I guess, until you read what Mirak actually believes.
Okay.
And this was important during BLM.
People were used by BLM and it didn't catch on for a while until it just started, people started going to jail.
But, you know, we told you at the very beginning of BLM, you have to know what they stand for.
They are for the destruction of America and the destruction of the nuclear family.
And when you go back and you look at their founding documents and their own words and what they are currently for, it should open your mind and open your eyes and say, wait a minute, I don't want to partner with these guys.
Okay.
What they expose about themselves in their posts, you know, in their own words, in their alliances, is this.
And this is really important.
This leads to something from next hour that I really am anxious to talk to you about and get your opinion on.
But they're not about seeking reform.
Okay.
They're not about reconciliation.
They're not about fixing the problem.
They are seeking abolition and the abolition of borders, any deportation, no enforcement in the United States, and the abolition of the United States as it is presently constituted.
Okay, so no America.
They openly call the American immigration system and the criminal justice system fundamentally unjust, racist, and white supremist.
They declare solidarity with popular movements abroad.
They explicitly expose U.S. action anywhere in the world.
So this is not civil disobedience.
This has nothing to do with what's happening in Minneapolis.
Okay.
None of it.
This is a revolutionary ideology.
And behind all the soft language is something far harder.
The Morrow Institute, the researchers there identify Mirak as part of what they call, and we've talked about this here recently a lot, the Turtle Island Infetada.
Turtle Island is what the ancient natives used to call America.
Okay, this whole continent was Turtle Island.
And so if you're part of Turtle Island, they're trying to make this, they're trying to take the entire continent of North America and make it into Palestine, an occupied territory.
And this turtle movement, the Turtle Island movement denies the idea of America's right to exist in any way, the same way the radical groups deny Israel's right to exist.
And one Mirak post made it really, really explicit.
They said, from Turtle Island to Palestine, occupation is a crime.
Turtle Island, again, what they call North America, they believe it has to be liberated.
And if that language sounds familiar, it should, because we know exactly how liberation movements operate when they adopt the language of resistance, intifada, and occupation.
October 7th should have ended any ambiguity at all.
I mean, it didn't, but it should have.
But it certainly didn't with Mirak.
Their response to the October 7th massacre was not grief.
There was no condemnation, not even an acknowledgement of Israeli civilians murdered in their homes.
Instead, Mirak declared solidarity with Palestine and endorsed the so-called right of return and repeated the chant, on October 7th, from the river to the sea.
Then they went further.
In April 2024, Mirak co-published a statement praising Iran's missile attack on Israel, calling it justified under international law and lauding Iran's support for the Palestinian existence.
So you have this so far?
The people in Minnesota, they say America has no right to exist.
Israel has no right to exist.
And one of their partners in this utopian society are, you know, anybody who is trying to destroy America.
And that includes Iran that I remind you yesterday, the last two days, now it's up to 35,000 people they have executed.
Okay.
So this organization that is part of the problem, part of the crime, I believe, the insurrection in Minnesota, that is whipping people into a frenzy, they are for the Iranian government.
Now, their partners in the statement, including groups previously identified by researchers as pro-terrorism, including organizations with documented links to foreign influence and revolutionary communist movements.
And it's not a coincidence.
This is a coalition.
Later, Mirak announced a march for Iran.
They condemned the United States for bombing innocent Iranians and Venezuelans.
They have promoted pro-Cuba activism.
They have joined coalitions whose own website supported October 7th attack, framed Russia and China as victims of America.
Okay, I mean, and this is all before we get to any violence.
Because Mirak doesn't just merely tolerate violent rhetoric, it amplifies it.
There is a flyer published by Mirak that features the phrase, bash the fash, alongside with an image of a bloodied, severed head and a slogan, long associated with, you know, Antifa-style street violence.
So their close allies publicly pledged to defend activists politically and physically, if necessary.
They openly endorse the unified Palestinian resistance.
They called October 7th morally justified.
And they draw a line really clearly.
Violence against ICE isn't violence, it's resistance.
When a protester is shot, Mirak rejects any attempt to condemn the unrest.
This is what they've just recently wrote.
There is violence and there is resistance to violence.
They must never be equated.
Days earlier, they issued a message to the Minnesota leadership.
ICE is waging war on our city.
Fight back.
If you won't, keep MPD out of our way.
So in other words, they're telling our people, if you're not going to get violent, we will.
You just keep the Minnesota Police, Minneapolis Police Department out of our way.
Another post celebrated the activists that were, quote, organized, militant, and ready to fight back.
They brag about forming human chains to stop federal vehicles.
They boast about mobilizing hundreds within an hour.
They promise more training for the next confrontation.
And they provide resources that support all arrestees, regardless of the charge, rejecting any kind of distinction between peaceful protest and criminal destruction.
And the most, I think, chilling is this comparison.
This was published on the Mirak Link social media.
ICE is equated with the Israeli military.
Now, this is why it's chilling.
If you understand what Mirak partners want done to the Israeli military, you understand the implication.
This is not a protest.
This is pre-justification.
This is rhetorical framework that transforms law enforcement into enemy occupiers and then calls killing them resistance.
So here is the truth that the media is not going to say.
And quite honestly, some people, you know, on our side are not going to say, but it is really important.
Mirak Link's Chilling Comparison00:06:01
Please, please listen to our number two of today's show, please.
Because I'm going to take you places that I don't think anybody else will take you.
And I mean anybody else will take you.
And I think it's really important.
But here's what you need to hear right now.
America can debate immigration policy.
We could debate that all the way along.
We've been debating it since almost the beginning of our country.
We can argue about enforcement priorities.
America can reform laws.
We can condemn the police or understand the police.
We can condemn protesters and we can understand protesters.
But this is an organized ideological assault and one that rejects the legitimacy of the United States itself, aligns itself with foreign adversaries, excuses terrorism, and normalizes violence as a political tool.
This is not part of a civil society.
What they're trying to do is seize civil society.
This is the best of the Glenbeck program.
Here we are in 2026, and it seems like time is moving really fast, but a lot can change in a year.
And one thing that stays the same is the need to be prepared.

You're listening to the best of the Glenbeck program.
So half the country is under a spell.
And I think it's why the scriptures say we don't fight flesh and bone.
We fight principalities.
We fight evil because only evil, this is not human that is making somebody say this.
This is a healthcare worker in Virginia.
Her name is Melinda.
She works at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia.
And she has posted a series of TikToks.
And I want you to listen to what she is saying.
Listen to this.
Got four.
I thought of something good.
I think it's in the weirdest spot.
Sabotage tactic, or at least scare tactic.
All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end.
Have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever, whatever.
That will probably be a deterrent.
Be safe.
All right, the single ladies where these ICE guys are going have a chance to do something, you know, not without risk, but could help the cause for sure.
Get on Tinder, get on hand, find these guys.
They're around.
They're an ICE agent.
Bring some XLACs and put it in their drinks.
Get them sick.
Nobody's going to die.
Just enough to incapacitate them and get them off the street for the next day.
Okay.
So she's saying spike their food.
Get them sick.
She was talking about filling a syringe with a paralytic just to scare them.
That's sick.
I mean, is anybody for that?
Listen to this.
This is James O'Keefe yesterday.
He wrote yesterday, I've never experienced anything quite like today in my life.
I've interacted with a cartel.
I've witnessed crazy things.
But what strikes me in Minnesota is how organized these agitators in Minneapolis are.
They have spotters everywhere in the city and the suburbs on street corners, even 30 minutes away from downtown.
They have people at hotels that work with them and signal to them, which made it making it difficult for us to lose our tail once my cover was blown.
I usually lose a tail, not this time.
I switched locations three times.
I recorded and posted this while leaving this area while they were still surveilling, surveying.
We all agreed we must take these threats public as soon as possible, even if we had people still in the field with hidden cams.
Earlier around noon, Cam Higbee released his report on signal threads.
I was inside of what appeared to be a fully autonomous zone.
Remember that in Seattle, the Chad Autonomous Zone?
No police presence.
The police had been told to leave.
I identified myself as press, and they said they would kill press, and they would not let me leave.
My skin was fully covered because it was so cold, but because they couldn't verify who I was, they screamed and started throwing ice bottles at us.
One hit the Marine who was with me.
They patted him down like they were the authorities attempting to confiscate any weapons.
They were set to destroy our vehicle before we even got to it.
I have a full video report shortly.
This is an insurrection.
And so I've been thinking for the last few days, so how do you stop this?
Moral Tension Over Retaliation00:12:30
Because it's going to force the president to declare an insurrection, and that's going to give them what they want.
They're very well organized, and you go to civil war.
And I thought, how does anybody buy into this stuff?
How are these people, because they've been slowly boiled like a frog.
Okay?
They don't know who they're standing next to.
And how do you break that spell?
Well, there's only one way to break a spell like this.
And I want to give it to you.
I would ask that you just give me 10 minutes and hear me out.
You may not like it when I first start talking about it, but I think it is the only answer.
Your thinking and mine has been, we have got to send in more troops.
We have got to send.
We've got to take control of this situation.
That's what they want.
So what if we thought of something completely different?
And I want you just to imagine for a second.
Imagine something.
What would happen if we imagined something different that wasn't louder, not angrier, you know, not more certain of our own righteousness, but higher?
As I look through history, it tells us the greatest moments of change did not come when one side finally crushed the other.
When real change comes is when ordinary people choose a courage that felt almost unreasonable at the time.
Two figures in history have proven this.
Martin Luther King, he called it unarmed truth and unconditional love.
Gandhi called it truth force.
Both of them believed in something totally radical, that the strongest force in human affairs is not domination, but a disciplined compassion that is so visible, so undeniable when it shows up that it actually unsettles even those who are prepared for violence.
It's unsettling.
It breaks spells.
So for just a minute, imagine, not instruct, not demand, but imagine, what if in a moment like this, a third presence appeared?
You have ICE.
You have all the people that are angry on that side.
And then you have these agitators and insurrectionists on the other side that are willing to do anything.
Okay.
And then a third presence, not aligned with rage, not aligned with fear, not aligned with vengeance or defiance, just aligned with human dignity.
What if there were men and women who would step forward not to confront, not to shout, not to accuse, just to stand?
What if there was a group of people that locked arms not in hostility, but in resolve?
What if there were a group of people that became a living boundary, not against people, but against chaos?
What if there was a group of people that would not carry weapons?
They would not chant insults.
They would not demand surrender.
They would not respond.
They would say nothing at all.
They would just simply stand between anger and authority, between accusation and response, bearing their own bodies as witnesses to a simple truth, that no worker, whether you're an ICE agent or an ice cream vendor, should ever have to fear for their life in doing their job.
That no protester, however passionate, should ever be manipulated into becoming a pawn in someone else's strategy of escalation.
That human life is not a prop.
Tragedy is not a tactic.
Imagine the cameras not capturing fists or fear, just faces.
Faces calm in the storm.
Faces resolved, not reactive.
Faces that refused to mirror the violence that they stood against.
Imagine the confusion that would cause.
And it wouldn't cause outrage.
It would cause hesitation.
People would all of a sudden go, wait, what is happening here?
Because Martin Luther King and Gandhi both knew this kind of action does something extraordinary.
Okay?
It denies, it denies both sides their expectation of conflict.
King taught nonviolence is not the absence of tension.
It is the creation of a moral tension that is so pure it demands reflection instead of retaliation.
When they were sick and the dogs on Martin Luther King's people, when they were beating them, when they were firehose, the rest of the country looked at that and said, wait, what is happening?
See, there were real racists in the 1960s, obviously, and there still are, but there were real racists.
And then there were people like probably like my grandparents who had grown up being told things and it was just the way it was.
And they weren't racists, but they were kind of asleep.
They were just, you know, that's just the way it was.
And then Martin Luther King came along and then they saw people that they related to, because, you know, we shouldn't have interracial marriage or whatever they were thinking at the time.
And then they saw Martin Luther King come along and he breaks all of everything that they've ever thought or ever been told about black people.
And then they see that, wait, wait, my side is hosing these people down.
My side is sicking dogs on them.
They're not my side.
And it breaks the spell.
If they were violent, it would have done exactly the same.
It just would have divided everybody more.
Martin Luther King realized you've got to win the hearts of the other side and break the spell.
And so the narrative shifts, not us versus them, not oppressors versus victims.
But a different question begins to rise in the mind of the public.
Why are these people willing to risk themselves?
Why aren't they fighting?
Why not fight?
Why are they standing there to protect?
What do they see?
What do they have that I don't know or have forgotten?
Martin Luther King said it over and over again because people argued with him that surrender.
It's not weakness.
It's not surrender.
It's strength.
It's strength so composed that it refuses to be dragged down.
And Gandhi believed that when truth is embodied, not shouted, embodied, lived, it becomes unavoidable.
King believed love, when disciplined and public, will shame injustice without humiliating the unjust.
And perhaps, just perhaps, this is how nations change.
Not when one side breaks the other, but when enough people remember the goal was never victory.
The goal was reconciliation.
I don't want victory over my family members that don't talk to me anymore.
I want reconciliation.
I want to come back together.
I want peace, but I want peace with justice.
I want a future where our children can inherit something better than just anger at one another.
So I ask you today, what would happen if we remembered that?
What if we allowed ourselves to believe again that there still is a higher third road?
And walking that road just might be the most powerful thing we could ever do.
Not because it's easy, not because it guarantees success, but it reminds us who we are capable of being.
Could we, in a country of 350 million people, find 350 people that would be willing to do that?
Who would be mentally and spiritually prepared enough to do that?
This terrified me when I thought about this last night.
I'm not sure.
Can we find, because I don't think I'm one of them.
Don't think I'm spiritually or mentally prepared to stand and just be called names and stand as a shield for somebody and love the people who are spitting at you?
Can we find 350 million people in the, or sorry, 350 people out of 350 million that could actually do it and would do it?
Let me ask you this.
Do you think you could find 50 pastors that would do it?
50.
50.
There are 100,000 pastors plus in this country.
Could you find 50 of them that would do this?
I'm not sure.
Because that's who should do it or should lead it.
Because this is a spiritual thing.
We're not fighting flesh and bone.
We are not fighting these people.
Again, let me just go back to the one thing I just said.
I have people in my family that will no longer speak to me.
And it has been the biggest heartbreak of my life.
And I weathered this storm for 20 years.
And in the last five years, it just broke apart, fell apart, and I have people who I dearly love.
I don't want to win.
I don't need them to say, you're right.
You were right.
You won.
I don't need that.
I don't want that.
I just want them back at the table.
I just want them to know I love them, and that's more important than anything else.
And I want them to say, I love you.
And that's more important than any politics or anything else.
Every single tactic, if you will, that we play out, if it's not led by God, it will fail.
We are now at the moment of saving Western civilization.
It's not saving our country.
It's not saving our Constitution.
This is saving Western civilization.
The Judeo-Christian principles that built half the world.
That's what this is about.
And if you want to save Judeo-Christian values, you must demonstrate love for those who hate you.
I can't believe I'm saying this.
And I am not the guy for this, but that is the only answer.
I can sit here and give you other political answers and everything else, but that is the only answer.
This will not be one.
Breaking the Spell of Lies00:00:19
We have to reconcile with people who are under this spell of lies.
This spell that makes a medical practitioner say, get a syringe and poison them.
