Chapter 1: What is the significance of Trump's WEF speech?
It's Super Davos Day. It's Super Davos Day. It's Super Davos Day. Yeah, Davos in Switzerland. Yeah. You had Donald Trump show up and I mean, he torched the place. I have never seen anything like it. On the full show, you're going to be able to hear Liz Wheeler talk about it. We talk as a group, and I go over all of his speech at Davos. It was intense.
I also, on today's podcast, go over how Davos became the center of government ideas and leadership, what Davos really is. An amazing conversation with the new head of NASA about Artemis II. Also, the rescue. I don't even know if you knew this. This is the first time this has ever happened in space history. I don't know what it is because of, you know, HIPAA requirements.
But one of our astronauts at the space station had a major problem, medical problem. Don't know what it was, but it was enough to get all of the astronauts off of the space station. We did it in lightning time with SpaceX back at home, and that astronaut has been stabilized. Wait until you hear the story and the future of the moon, which is just a few weeks away, with Jared Isaacman.
All that and so much more on today's podcast. We are in the middle of one of the worst flu seasons we've seen in decades, and I don't think most people really understand that yet. But this isn't the kind of year where a couple of people you know get sick and everybody moves on. This one is different. Forty-five states are reporting abnormally high flu activity.
Millions of people have already caught it, and it hasn't even peaked yet. Now think about how fast a normal flu can turn serious when you're stuck in You know, waiting, waiting to get to a doctor's office, waiting in a packed pharmacy or waiting to find out too late that the medication you need is on back order. That's why I believe in Jace Medical.

Chapter 4: What medical emergency occurred on the International Space Station?
And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. I got to tell you, I think today is very consequential. I don't know how it's all going to work out. I hope that it works out in our favor. But I've never heard a president speak to the world like this. And he means it. And he knows he is carrying a very, very large stick. He knows it.
And, you know, there are parts of the speech that he was the typical Donald Trump, you know, and I'm the greatest and you all know it, which always makes me a little uncomfortable. I wish you were a little more humble, but that's Donald Trump. But he did say over and over and over again, probably six times how much he loved and respected Europe, how he is.
His family is from Germany and Scotland and how important they are. And how much the history between us and how much Western culture means. However, Western culture is dying in Europe because you refuse to stand up for it. When he got into Greenland, he really started to... He said, Europe has turned their backs on things that have made us strong.
He took on Canada in a way I have never heard before. He talked about how Greenland is important because we're going to use it to defend not just the United States, but also Canada and Europe. And he said... Uh, you know, the Canadian prime minister spoke yesterday and I didn't think he did very well. And then he said, he's probably in here, Mark.
I wouldn't speak that way again or something like that. And it, it was shocking the way he didn't, he didn't even show him the deference of being prime minister. It was Mark. You should watch your words. Um, he is not. fooling around and he is declaring an end to this glow new world order, this globalist kind of thing, uh, that the world has been building, uh, been building.
He did, like I said, a minute ago, he said, I will not use force on Greenland. Uh, I don't want to use it and I won't use force, which I think is, uh, uh, significant, uh, So let's start with Greenland. Jason, I just heard you talking on the Insider broadcast. By the way, the Insider, it is still free this week. Next week, it'll start going into... You'll have to subscribe to get it.
But if you go to glennbeck.com, you get the Insider. When the radio show goes into commercial breaks, Jason joins us from behind the scenes, and he is... He's giving more information on what we're talking about and deeper analysis. And we work together a couple of hours before the show. So we are in sync and he gives all the information. I just don't have time to give.
But you gave a great stat a minute ago about how Greenland pledged During the Trump first term, he went to Europe and said, NATO allies, you need to pony up for your own defense. We are paying for all of it and we're done paying for all of it. And he went to Greenland and he said, it's time for you to step to the plate.
And they pledged to pay, which is a lot for Greenland, $200 million in their own defense. And so he accepted that. Jason, tell me what happened as soon as Trump left office. How much did they pay of that $200 million?

Chapter 5: What are the details of the Artemis II mission?
We did all these things and said, you know what? We're going to spread the wealth some. And you all benefited from that. Most importantly, you benefited from the shield of the United States military. You want to know what the world is like without the United States. I think Donald Trump should say no more protection for anyone but the United States. And the American people would cheer.
We're not footing the bill for a single war, not a single tank, not a single airplane, nothing. You get nothing from the United States in defense.
That is almost exactly what he said in much shorter form. What he said? His quote was, Canada lives because of the U.S. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements. That's really direct and clear.
And have you ever heard, Stu, have you ever heard a president of the United States speak like that?
No, but how common is this, Glenn? I've been doing this for a long time. How common is it when we cover another nation who has received all sorts of bounty and gifts and protection and favors and all sorts of things from the United States? come up and do their speech in front of the UN, in front of Davos, whatever it is, and bash us over and over and over and over again.
It feels good to have a president that stands up and says, no, you're not doing that anymore if you want anything from us. Good. And they really should be a little more careful with the way that they treat us. You can argue with some of the stuff that Trump does and whether he should be treating allies in certain ways. All those conversations can be valid at times.
But we never hold these people to those standards. They're constantly trashing us. They're constantly telling us we're involved in genocides around the world. I'm sick of it. I'm done with it.
Glenn, do you think that Carney has found this newfound confidence and boldness and bravado because of this strategic alliance he's trying to build with China?
No, I think he believes in the new world order. He believes in the power of the banking community. You know, he believes in he believes in the WEF. He also believes that China, you know, is is a great, you know, is a great ally for China, at least to threaten with. But China will eat you. Canada, China will eat you. Good luck with that.

Chapter 6: How does the Artemis program aim to establish a moon base?
Are you going to put it in the United States, in the United States stock market, or are you going to pull it all out and put it someplace else? You're not going to do that. I mean, you will only hurt your own people, but that is the only threat that could possibly, um, come up against the United States.
Chapter 7: What are the economic implications of lunar exploration?
So I think Carney is, is wildly mistaken. You know, you've got to remember how Donald Trump negotiates. Donald Trump negotiates. He first says it nicely. And he's like, Hey, let's work together on this. I'd like to do this. What do you think about this? How can we make a deal for both of us here? That's good on this.
Once you say no, if he is determined to get it done, then he starts upping the ante. Then he starts saying, you know what? Well, you don't do that. I'm going to do this. And he makes promises. He never makes threats. He makes promises. I am going to do this if you don't do that. Venezuela, Maduro, leave or we'll come and get you.
Iran, knock it off or we will put your power plants, your nuclear power plants out of business and knock you back into the Stone Age in that department. He says what he means and means what he says, and he starts making promises, not threats. So when President Trump is all he's asking for here, and you may not like the way he's asking for it,
But it's high time that somebody in America has stood up for us in America when he says, look, we are only asking for something that is good for your security, good for my security, the United States security, you and Canada's security.
Chapter 8: Why is American leadership in space important?
We have not asked you for anything since 1945. And you guys have been living off of us and living on our teat since 1945. All of these things, the United States agreed to and developed and made the world stable so you could rebuild Europe. Will you rebuild Europe, you know, 20 years after the war? And you've been sucking us dry ever since. We're asking for one thing.
Give it to us or we will remember. It is the toughest love I have ever seen. But I would put my money on Donald Trump. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. So let me start here. The president just spoke. He made some really big news. He is still on stage. He's fielding questions now, and some of them are about Greenland. Most of them are about Greenland and war.
He just said that he felt that the world was in a very precarious situation because of all the miscalculations that were done by the previous administration. He said, honestly, I think if Kamala Harris would have been elected, we might be in World War III right now. He said, but it is our duty to avoid war at all costs. We don't want war. He's been talking about ending war a lot today.
But he also is talking about negotiating now for Greenland. And he's being very, very tough on it. But he made the announcement today, I will not use force to take Greenland. But he was also very clear. You have the opportunity, Europe. to say, yes, we're going to work with America, or you have the choice to say, no, we won't. And if that's your choice, we will remember.
Um, really, really strong language. Uh, but he is couching it all as national and international security imperatives. So this is all happening up in this little Swiss town in the Swiss Alps called Davos. And, um, you know, this was a place that if you had tuberculosis years ago, you would go to, because it was really clean air up in the mountains.
And so, you know, it would, it would clean out your lungs and your soul and, um, And it was cold and inconvenient, and it was neutral on all things. And that mattered. In 1971, an economics professor named Klaus Schwab decided, you know, I'm going to invite some people up to Davos for a meeting. And it wasn't a summit. It wasn't a conclave at the time.
It was just a meeting of minds that he respected. He believed in something radical at the time, that corporations had obligations not just to shareholders, but to society. And he came up with something called stakeholder capitalism. It completely reversed the idea of capitalism and how it worked. And so he invited European business leaders to come up and talk.
No heads of state, no grand ideology at this point, just managers comparing notes on how to survive changing worlds. Now, this is in 1971. What happens in 1971? The world goes to hell in a handbasket. All of a sudden, we have the energy crisis. We get off the gold standard. Everything changes. Oil shocks, inflation, and it's a slow collapse of the post-World War II world order.
And so all of a sudden he thinks, oh, you know, we're even more important because governments don't understand the markets and markets don't trust government. So he thought, you know what? I think we start bringing everybody together and we can really change the world. Now, I'm saying this as a story form, but I want you to know I'm not neutral on this.
