The Glenn Beck Program

What ACTUALLY Led to the Alex Pretti ICE Shooting | 1/26/26

26 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the significance of medical freedom in America?

0.301 - 11.515 Glenn Beck

One of the things that I've always loved most about this country is freedom. You know, the ability to think for yourself, to do your own research and make informed decisions about your own life and then take responsibility for that life.

0

12.216 - 30.403 Glenn Beck

One of the most overlooked forms of that is medical freedom, the freedom to ask questions, the freedom to learn, the freedom to decide what makes sense for you and your body instead of being told that you don't get a say. That's why I respect what Jace Medical is doing. Their doctors understand the importance of medical self-reliance.

30.423 - 43.605 Glenn Beck

And when it comes to ivermectin, which has been in the news constantly for both its potential uses and how politicized it became, they actually make serious, responsible approaches to it. And they provide six different types of ivermectin, including topicals, compounded,

options, ivermectin by itself, because different situations require different tools and you can get it prescribed and delivered to you all from home without jumping through endless hoops or giving up control.

The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment and empowerment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

116.35 - 141.092 Glenn Beck

Hello America, it's Monday. I've got a lot to talk to you about today. I'm going to talk to you first about accelerization. It is something that is happening that is the part of the chalkboard I laid out in 2009 where I said, you know, the socialists and the communists and the, you know, Islamists and the anarchists will all work together to destabilize, to overthrow

141.072 - 165.053 Glenn Beck

the Middle East, Europe, and the Western world here in America. We are now in the last phase of that. We're all seeing that they are working together. And thank God there are many people like Data Republican and our own administration that are looking for all of the connections that are tying things together. so you understand what is really happening.

165.593 - 200.339 Glenn Beck

But we're in the final phase of this and if we don't behave, if we don't get our side right, it could spell real, real trouble in America. I don't know how you go back from here if we make critical errors at this point. So far, So good, but we have to be very, very careful. Also, gold hit, not $5,000 an ounce, $5,100 an ounce on Friday. $5,100. That's not good.

200.359 - 221.048 Glenn Beck

I've been saying forever, you don't want to see the world and how much chaos it is going to be in at $5,000 an ounce. Well, we're here and look at the chaos. They're now saying that it is going to go up to $7,000 an ounce. I want to explain why this is happening, because it is about what people believe.

Chapter 2: What are the current threats to law and order in Minnesota?

538.68 - 567.152 Glenn Beck

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 Network's 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.

0

567.373 - 568.174 Glenn Beck

Cut to please.

0

569.455 - 591.919 Kyle (Antifa member)

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 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. No, not talking about peaceful protests anymore.

0

591.939 - 612.779 Kyle (Antifa member)

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.

0

616.422 - 636.136 Glenn Beck

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.

636.156 - 658.773 Glenn Beck

I wouldn't do that right now. I would relax. I would, you should pop 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 not the law will be enforced. It's this. The problem is the enforcement.

660.015 - 679.232 Glenn Beck

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.

680.253 - 704.839 Glenn Beck

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?

705.059 - 729.051 Glenn Beck

Just pick one up any place, any place. When violence is excused as contextual, when enforcement is treated as provocation, when prosecutors calculate politics before justice, the center doesn't hold. It just doesn't. You don't get peace. You get what we have in Minnesota. You get escalation.

Chapter 3: Why is gold's price increasing dramatically?

739.232 - 764.447 Glenn Beck

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?

0

764.468 - 782.671 Glenn Beck

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?

0

783.151 - 811.642 Glenn Beck

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.

0

812.964 - 844.628 Glenn Beck

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... picketing ICE 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.

0

845.654 - 867.612 Glenn Beck

This is not about crushing dissent. It's not about silencing protest. This is not about blind loyalty to authority, 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's real.

868.739 - 896.603 Glenn Beck

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, Pambondi?

898.338 - 927.248 Glenn Beck

I'm not against Pam Bondi. 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.

927.802 - 955.294 Glenn Beck

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 that are spoken after chaos. It's proven by what you do before chaos.

955.493 - 983.492 Glenn Beck

and what you refuse to excuse after the chaos. The good news is we haven't crossed the Rubicon yet, but we're close. 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.

Chapter 4: How does the unrest in Minnesota reflect larger societal issues?

1537.888 - 1561.608 Glenn Beck

These are all your rights and I'll fight to the death for your right to do it. But when you are targeting people, when you are actually... Well, let me... Look... I've been warning about several things for a very long time. One of them is the Bubba effect that I think will affect the right more than the left. And you're starting to see pieces of it.

0

1562.129 - 1581.648 Glenn Beck

But you're also seeing something different happening on the right that is just as dangerous and could spell the end of not just the Republic civilization. Okay. Things have begun to accelerate. So let me give you three facts here that are absolutely true.

0

1582.309 - 1604.511 Glenn Beck

One, fact number one, there is a group of people, and it is growing larger and larger, and it is very well connected, that believe society is corrupt and beyond repair. Two, that institutions are illegitimate. Three, that chaos is a legitimate tool. And four, violence is an accelerant.

0
0

1606.16 - 1627.979 Glenn Beck

There's been a group of people ever since I put up on the chalkboard that socialists and communists and anarchists and Islamists will work together back in 2009. They've always believed those things. But now you're starting to see a couple of things. One, they're starting to come out, but they're coming out in droves. And this is where the change is. They are now more connected than ever.

1628.56 - 1654.375 Glenn Beck

And you can follow the connections. I mean, I don't know if... Did I show earlier the... Uh, the, the signal group, I mean, this Cam Higbee released this over the weekend. Um, and he said, I have infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding assaulting and obstructing them.

1655.435 - 1678.506 Glenn Beck

Each area of the city has a signal or several signals. Let's start with the screen recording of all members in the South Side group. So he's revealing how these groups are all together and they're all connected and they're coordinating to make sure they're obstructing or harassing or impeding the federal government. That is their sole intention. So...

1679.988 - 1706.198 Glenn Beck

They've now connected in a very organized fashion. So that leads me to fact number two. Fact number one is there's a group that believes these things, and they are now connected more than ever before. Fact number two, the line between protest and insurgent behavior is now blurred. And this is where it becomes extraordinarily dangerous, okay? Because society has a line.

1707.275 - 1736.228 Glenn Beck

And we are crossing that line. So all of this stuff now is happening in real time. And for a long time, America treated political violence like a weather event. It was rare. It was localized. It was tragic. And then it was over. But law enforcement and researchers have been warning for years about the mindset that is different from normal extremism. It's not just I want my side to win.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of gold prices rising?

3782.722 - 3805.728 Glenn Beck

But they also confirm the problem. You don't need emergency tools unless something is breaking. And when the world senses that China's growth engine is no longer a growth engine, when it becomes a debt engine, what are we going to do without China? United States, we're the only ones growing. Do you understand that? When Donald Trump said we're the only ones, that's what he meant by that.

0

3806.069 - 3835.133 Glenn Beck

Everybody in that room understood China is on the verge, but the United States is on the verge because of Japan. So where do you go? Well, you go to the thing that is older than promises, and that is gold or silver. And that's what's happening to gold. That's what's happening to gold. But I'm not done yet. Let me give you some good news.

0

Chapter 6: How does civil unrest relate to economic stability?

3835.614 - 3862.286 Glenn Beck

Gold rises not because people are greedy, but because people, they get sober. They sober up. So what's happening with gold is people are sobering up, all right? This is the sound of people buying fire insurance in a neighborhood where everybody smells smoke and everybody's house is on fire. And so they're buying fire insurance. The world's drowning in debt, not just America.

0

3863.908 - 3893.264 Glenn Beck

The global debt, by the way, is $251 trillion. That means the entire system is just going to melt down. And so you can't cut rates without consequences. You can't stimulate because of currency weaknesses. So who's buying it? First of all, the central banks are buying it by the ton. And people who know are buying it because they know something really bad is around the corner.

0

3894.105 - 3918.445 Glenn Beck

But we're the safest house in the burning neighborhood. Remember, every house is on fire. But we're not the worst house. We're still the safest house. Not because we're perfect, not because we got it down, but because everybody else, including China, Europe is worse. China, Europe, Japan, everybody has these deep vulnerabilities.

0

3919.626 - 3930.74 Glenn Beck

And we're sitting here worried about the guy on the treadmill in Japan. Everybody else, they're worried about the fire that is burning their whole house down.

0

Chapter 7: What happened during the ICE protest shooting?

3931.3 - 3960.972 Glenn Beck

So what does this have to do with Minnesota? I'll tell you next. So new research is confirming something deeply heartbreaking. Millions of American women carry lasting emotional pain after an abortion. lingering regret that often goes unseen and unaddressed and they don't want to talk about it. The people at preborn see this reality close up every day.

0

3961.072 - 3981.669 Glenn Beck

This is why I love working with preborn because it's not just about saving the baby. They recognize mom is in deep trouble herself emotionally and They work in side clinics where women are not just making the medical decision, they're facing fear and pressure and uncertainty in one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

0

3981.749 - 3998.122 Glenn Beck

But there's hope, and it starts with something simple and powerful when a woman sees her baby on an ultrasound. Most likely, everything changes. That one moment can double a baby's chance at life and give mom the space to pause and really see the life that is in front of her. That's what Freeborn does.

0

3998.162 - 4019.279 Glenn Beck

They provide free ultrasounds, compassionate counseling, gospel-centered support through their network of clinics. If you believe that every child matters, no woman should walk this road. She is a child of God as well. You need to help Preborn, if you will, make a donation. Just hit pound 250, pound 250, say the keyword baby. Preborn.com slash baby.

4020.681 - 4026.19 Tim Walz

It's your last week to get free content from The Torch. Get it now at glennbeck.com.

4051.094 - 4073.139 Glenn Beck

So I've been going down this chalkboard here in the studio today, which is honestly one of the reasons why I started the torch and started this new work ethic for me and my staff is we would sometimes have to wait until Wednesday and prepare a whole show, et cetera, et cetera, until we got there. And so I wasn't giving you the information.

4073.179 - 4090.289 Glenn Beck

Sometimes I felt like I wasn't giving you the information in a timely matter. I was waiting sometimes three weeks before I could get it to you. um, in a television form. And I didn't, I don't like that weight. Um, and so now like every day, I mean, practically every day, I'm just, this is my second chalkboard of the day.

Chapter 8: How do different narratives shape public perception?

4090.309 - 4114.718 Glenn Beck

I can explain things to you when they're happening. And, uh, and I made this change because things are happening now. more rapidly than they have before. And everything matters and they are connected. I'm going to show you how gold is connected also to what you're seeing in Minnesota here in a second. But, you know, I have five things, six things on this chalkboard. Japan, explain it.

0

4114.818 - 4142.02 Glenn Beck

It's a treadmill. It's a crazy treadmill and they can't get off it. They can't speed up and they can't slow down. China is a house of mirrors. Gold is insurance. We're the safest house on the block, but that changes with number five, civil unrest. What we're seeing in Minnesota is so incredibly dangerous if this spreads.

0

4142.422 - 4169.458 Glenn Beck

Let me first remind you that our DOJ, FBI, CISA, all of these things have been issuing public warnings for a few years now saying, look, disinformation, disinformation. We know we have the videos of these giant server farms where they all have iPhones plugged into them. And I mean, there are thousands, tens of thousands of phones. And these bots are just...

0

4170.451 - 4194.755 Glenn Beck

sending out, you know, posts and reposting and reposting from the other bot and everything else. And you're not getting the truth anymore. You think you're getting something real, but you're not. The algorithms are all being affected because China and Russia are two biggest enemies and Iran, um, are all, they have these giant farms where they are pushing fake social media out.

0

4195.396 - 4219.088 Glenn Beck

And what are they doing? Why would China benefit from chaos here in America? How does that possibly benefit them? Well, what is our greatest strength? A lot of people will say our weapon systems, but it's not. It's not. Our greatest strength as a country comes from certain rules of law.

4220.232 - 4246.508 Glenn Beck

the law of contracts, the law of property, that we are stable, that we're generally a well-educated, I don't know if I can say this one anymore, but well-educated group of people, and that we're hard workers. If America fractures into constant street conflict or a national divorce, what happens? What happens? What is Donald Trump been doing for the last 12 months?

4246.568 - 4266.355 Glenn Beck

And he's been bragging about it. And then people don't seem to care because I don't think they understand what this means, but he's been saying, I've got $18 trillion of investment coming in. 18 trillion, never been done before. You're right. Never been done before. Not even close. Never been done before. But what does that actually mean?

4267.347 - 4286.433 Glenn Beck

That means that foreign companies are investing in America. They're building factories here in America. Now, why would they do that? They do that for a couple of reasons. One, the tariffs. I'm going to make it so expensive you're not going to be able to sell a truck in the United States. Build them in the United States and I'll help you out. There's one reason.

4287.394 - 4310.073 Glenn Beck

The other reason is every other market is collapsing. And so they're looking for something stable, something where nobody's going to come and grab their company. Nobody's going to put new rules on them and make them go out of business. They're looking for something that has constitutional order and is stable. So it's worth their while to do two things.
