Davos elites CONFRONTED by citizen journalist. Here are the BIGGEST takeaways

Our overlords are meeting in Davos to plan our future and "misinformation" is their greatest concern. But Rebel News founder Ezra Levant is on the ground to expose them. Ezra joins Glenn live from the streets of Davos to describe what he's seen, starting with a disturbing contradiction: While global elites want to restrict your air travel, they have no problem flooding the local airport with planes. Ezra discusses some of the "Masters of the Universe" that he's been able to question on the streets, including the president of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He also reveals the main thing he's learned while in Davos and why he believes that a lot more censorship is coming.

GLENN: All right. Our overlords are meeting in Davos to plan our future, and it sounds great. The number one priority is not global climate change. It's not wars. It's not inflation. It's not food. It's nothing except misinformation and disinformation. And they're trying to get all the global leaders to come together like this. And make sure that the voices, quite honestly, like mine and TheBlaze and people like Ezra Levant from Rebel News up in Canada, are silent. Yesterday, at the conference, there was a meeting on, how do we shut these people up?

And the head of the Center of Democracy and Technology, his name is Alex Reeve Givens. He said, there's something bizarre happening in America. Listen to this.

VOICE: Even as we're living in this heightened threat environment. A number of the social media companies have actually been scaling back their investments and trust in safety.

In particular, around elections. And those that are still keeping up the work, are facing more political scrutiny and pressure to disband those efforts than of before.

So in the United States, for example. We have congressional investigations and lawsuits against people that study mis and disinformation about elections on social media platforms.

There is currently an injunction in place stopping the Biden administration from communicating with social media platforms about interference threats, on the topics of elections.

That's actually going before the United States Supreme Court this year.

So we're in this bizarre environment, where right as the threats are ticking up, the investments in actually doing the day-to-day work of online trust and safety for our information environment is being scaled back, and is under attack.

And those are all things we need to recalibrate right now, to try to address the threats.

GLENN: Yeah. Sorry. I thought for sure, Alex identified as a man. Apparently, he's now identifying as a woman.

It is bizarre, that we don't want government. It's just out in our Constitution.

But other than that, don't worry about it.

We have Ezra Levant, who is on the ground, in the cold right now, at the World Economic Forum at Davos. How are the hookers, Ezra?

EZRA: I'm the wrong guy to ask, Glenn. A friend of mine did a story of how every single escort within 100 miles was booked up by the World Economic Forum.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. They're good people. They're good people.

EZRA: You know what, this is a place of excess.

Let me give you an example: There's a small private airfield about an hour and a half away from here. And I went there to film the private jets landing.

And the airport told me that 150 private jets per day land at this air trip, just for the World Economic Forum. They say that one week basically pays for the entire year.

That's like a city of half a million people. That's how many flights might be there in an average day. And it's more than that.

There's not enough room to park 150 jets of this small airfield.

So they fly in, drop off the VVIP. Then they fly out to another airfield to park, and then they come back to pick up their person.

And then many of them take the helicopter for that last one hour drive. To not be on the streets with the peasants. That's the kind of luxury you see here. But they're the ones telling us to reduce our carbon footprint. They're the ones telling us not to fly as much.

Let me tell you what we're doing here.

We are not accredited journalists. We applied, and they obviously rejected us.

And that's fine, so we can't get into the sessions like the one you just played the clip from. The word on the street in this town in Davos, which is like a ski resort, high in the Alps. And it's full of -- I'm not going to say celebrities. But sort of political celebrities. And because they feel like they're amongst friends and it's so hard to get here, they let their guard down. So just standing on the street and reading name tags, some people you can recognize. Like yesterday, I asked some questions of John Kerry about the private jet. Today, my colleague Abby, asked Dr. Tedros of the World Health Organization some questions.

So these people don't have big entourages. And the Swiss police have a very light touch.

Penny Pritzker was here. And I asked her some questions about Harvard.

And so, there's no way you would get this kind of access in almost any other place.

And I will say, the cops here are so gentle. They have not stopped us from scrumming anyone.

Yesterday, I walked with the president of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, peppering him with questions. He did not have any answers. But, boy, I asked my questions. And that video has been viewed a million times overnight, Glenn.

I tell you, it's a crazy place where the masters of the universe get together to make the rules for the rest of us, and there's only about half a dozen citizen journalists here. The rest of them are regime journalists, who pay to be here as official delegates.

So I saw, for example, Richard Quest from CNN. I think he's a great idealist 90 percent of the time, by the way. But we scrummed him going in there. And we said, how come you only ask softball questions of Klaus Schwab?

Well, it's because CNN paid a quarter of a million dollars for them to get in, as sort of a member.

You're not going to stink up the joint, if you have the golden invitation.

GLENN: I don't know. I might pay.

I might pay for that.

You might write the check to go and have all of them come on my show.

EZRA: Well, they might kick you out if you do that. By the way, I'm standing in the promenade, and a huge bunch of military vehicles are passing through. I'm not sure if that's just normal Switzerland stuff, or if that's because Vladimir Zelinsky is in town. And Emanuel Macron is in town. And the Secretary General of the United Nations is in town. These aren't just VIPs. They're VVIPs and VVVIPs. And they let you know it.

GLENN: So what is the main thing you've taken from this?

EZRA: Well, look, there are some people here that are just here to sell goods and services. Because there are so many politicians. And wow, there's such a military convoy going through downtown here. I don't even know what's happening. Maybe Zelinsky is on the move.

I mean, wanted to tell you that, I'm live from the promenade in Davos right now, and I just -- and it's like a whole military, not a parade. But a series of big trucks. Imagine juxtaposing that with your five-star celebrities.

Anyway, the number one message, as Klaus Schwab says, is information.

They say their theme is rebuilding trust.

Which -- because they know they've shattered trust with ordinary people, over the last few years. Whether it's COVID or lockdowns. Or junk science. Or inflation. Or immigration. Or whatever.

So they know they have to fix trust. But at the same time, they believe in censorship. I scrummed a few different officials with meta.

And my colleague was scrumming an official from Google, just a minute ago.

And all our questions are about: Are they trying to strangle free discussions in the year of the 2024 elections?

Every one of them is aware of Trump's victory in the Iowa caucuses. And I'm talking about people all around the world.

This is not just Americans. This is a very international.

GLENN: Oh, no.

My understanding, is that yesterday, a lot of the discussions at Davos, centered around, this is a real threat to our agenda.

This can't happen.

EZRA: Oh, oh, absolutely.

If you were to take a poll of the VVIPs here at Davos, 90 percent of them would be against Trump.

Not necessarily for Biden.

They're just for anyone who wouldn't upset the international order that they've established here.

And so, basically these Europeans and these globalists, and these elites, want to have a vote, without having a vote.

Here's what I mean. For example, Klaus Schwab recently said, AI is so progressed.

You don't really need elections anymore. Because AI can figure out what the people want.

I have seen WEF presentations about how AI, Artificial Intelligence, can replace courts and judges.

Because you just enter all the data, and they will just replicate what a good judge would do.

So the real political bias in artificial intelligence.

I said, those are the two emphases I can see just on the streets here.

Censorship of the, quote, misinformation.
And artificial intelligence. When you combine those two things, and I saw, you're in a Brave New World right there.

GLENN: So, Ezra, I want to talk to you about one thing that came to my attention yesterday.

There's a story in the independent, climate misinformation is mutating on YouTube, and the platform is profiting.

And it is a story, that mentioned two people. One of them is me and TheBlaze.

And TheBlaze, I guess, is making money from YouTube, because they're not canceling us, and putting us where we belong. Which is nowhere.

Because we are discussing things like climate crisis denial content.

We also -- we're talking about the -- the last election.

And saying that the last election had many questions, behind it.

The Great Reset. An online conspiracy theory. That claims global elites trying to dismantle capitalism, and create a new social order.

Which they are.

And the other person was Jordan Peterson.

Now, they're -- they're targeting us, through Google and Facebook. My Facebook page is down 95 percent in the best year I've ever had, including the years at Fox.

Never had a bigger footprint than thousand. But Facebook is down 95 percent.

Why?

The other thing. The other part of it is -- is -- yeah. Go ahead.

KEVIN: That's deliberate. They're trying to demonetize you.

We scrummed Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of ADL.

And we asked them, why have you tried to kill advertising on Twitter, but never on TikTok?

And he wouldn't answer that. So that's why they're trying to do to you and Jordan Peterson.

And, by the way, they will invent new, quote, crimes.

I saw this phrase ecocide, being bandied about here.

So the same way, you couldn't be a skeptic or have a contrary point of view on COVID evacuation, they will do the same thing for climate. They basically telegraphed that that's the plan.

GLENN: Well, one of the -- one of the disturbing things. They did this last year, to Russell Brand. You don't even see him anymore.

He is still doing a podcast, but he never shows up on anyone's feed.

When was the last time you saw Russell Brand in your feed?

EZRA: Well, I seek them out. But you're right, they're trying to kill him financially.

GLENN: Correct. And the next thing is Jordan Peterson. He lost in court, yesterday, his appeal on having to go to some sort of reeducation camp. Because he said, and this is a quote.

The -- the woman who was obese, on Sports Illustrated bikini, was not beautiful. It was sick. And now he has to have reeducation.

EZRA: Yeah. And that's -- that's in some ways, a lot scarier. The woke economic forum is a bunch of people coming up with bad ideas. But they don't actually have the legal or judicial power to enforce them.

The trouble is all the VVIPs here go home, and go home to their legislatures or courts or businesses, and implement it back home. But the WEF itself doesn't have the power to do that here in Davos. But what you're talking about, what happened to Jordan Peterson, that was a real court. And the college of psychologists of Ontario is a regulator, that has the power to deny someone their profession.

Now, Jordan Peterson doesn't take patients anymore. He hasn't in many years.

But they're trying to destroy his professional reputation.

Again, the colleges there for doctors who were abusive, or who take advantage of their clients. You know, it's a professional organization to make sure that psychologists in Ontario are amicable. They are using that for lawfare, to silence him on completely unrelated matters.

And it's not atrocious that they're meddling with his political views. It's their command, their order to him, is that he basically go to a political reeducation. I mean, he has to go to some, I don't know, what the phrase is, a coach, or a remedial social media class or something.

GLENN: Yeah. Whatever the Chinese call it, it's still a reeducation camp.

And here's -- here's the --

EZRA: Struggle session.

GLENN: Yeah. And here is my struggle. I wonder who used that.

The -- the other thing though, that is disturbing, is they are trying to scare doctors into silence. They have already purged all of the doctors that would say something about the COVID vaccine.

The nurses, all of them. Anyone with a conscience, that's different with the state. They're purging them. That's very dangerous, as you know.

EZRA: What Jordan Peterson, he's the most famous psychologist in Canada. He's also very wealthy. And in some ways influential and powerful. So if they can do this to him, imagine what they can do to you. This is (foreign language). This is to scare everybody else. Yeah. They want to shut up Jordan Peterson. I don't know if they'll succeed. That guy doesn't shut up easily.

But what they're going to do is terrify a thousand other psychologists and doctors and nurses. You know, there happens to be another nurse in the Canadian province of British Columbia, who sponsored a sign that just said, I heart J.K. Rowling. But that's all she did. They took her before the professional association for the same sort of thing.

And so how many nurses, how many doctors, how many people of any profession are being terrorized into silence? And it's all part of the same cultural Marxism. Or wokism.

Hey, yesterday.

I scrummed the president of State Street. Do you know what that is?

It's BlackRock. It's a huge asset manager.

And I asked him. That's what it is like in Davos. You never know what you will bump into.

And I said to him, aren't you putting your own politics of your fiduciary duties to -- to your show. I said, you're promoting ESG, environmental and social governance, basically cultural Marxism. I said, how can you do that and claim to be a response to the shareholders.

GLENN: His response?

EZRA: Well, he said, we're doing both. He said, we're not going to stop with ESG. But it's shareholder value.

GLENN: Right. Okay. Quickly.

EZRA: I pressed on. And he wouldn't talk much more.

GLENN: Yeah.

EZRA: But that's what Davos is like, in the World Economic Forum.

GLENN: Thank you so much. Ezra Levant from Rebel News up in Switzerland right now, with the elites.

Will Trump’s Release of MLK & JFK Files Reveal the DARK TRUTH

President Trump has ordered officials to start the process of releasing the JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr. files. But the family of MLK has requested the opportunity to review the files before their release. What dark secrets may be hidden in them? Glenn and Stu review the rumors that the files may contain proof that MLK had affairs with 40 different women, among other heinous acts. But would this destroy his legacy and message of unity? Glenn and Stu also review JFK’s grandson’s response to Trump’s plan and why Glenn believes the truth MUST come out.

GLENN: Big weekend this weekend. All right, we will talk about -- let's talk about what's happening in Washington, DC. The Martin Luther King family has reacted to Trump's executive order. And as has the JFK family.

They both say, this is a political stunt. I don't know how it's a political stunt. It was supposed to come out in 2027.

No. It was supposed to come out, when?

In the teens. Twenty teens? And then it kept getting delayed. Delayed. Then Donald Trump delayed it last term. Joe Biden, I -- he might have thought he was JFK for a while.

I'm not really sure.

Or Martin Luther King. And then it's come up again.

And people are tired of secrets.

And so Donald Trump said he would start releasing some of the secrets, that should be released.

And a few of those are the RFK files.

The JFK files.

And the MLK files. So hmm. What do they say?

Well, the Martin Luther King family, they would like to see everything first.

I don't know if you get that privilege. But okay.

Why?

Oh. Do you happen to remember what was said about these files last time.

Last time, they were about to come out.

The guy who is the Martin Luther King authorized biographer, has come out and said, really bad things are in this file.

We all know that he was a philanderer.

And I have to tell you, as I get older, I have more to do for people who did amazing things.

Because I don't -- perfect people aren't the ones that usually stand up and say, I'm going to risk my life for that cause.

Perfect people are usually the ones that are like, no, I've got way too much to lose here.

Martin Luther King was not the first guy that was approached to lead this movement. Just like Rosa Parks wasn't the first one approached on the bus. The first one was too flawed.

She was a teenager that was pregnant, and they didn't think she would garner enough sympathy. The other pastors that were approached to lead this movement all said, no, I've got way too much to lose.

No. They knew what it meant! Martin Luther King was the first one that stood up. And I think the same could be said about Donald Trump. He's not a perfect guy. But he's the first one that would say, yeah. I'll risk my life for it.

I'll do it. I'll stand.

I mean, who else gets up from an assassination, and looks at the crowd, and says, fight!

That's pretty amazing.

So they're not perfect people.

But Martin Luther King, you know, we know he was unfaithful, but apparently what is in this file, is really not good.

STU: Yeah. That's one way to state it. Uh-huh.

GLENN: First, it looks like there's an FBI letter that was trying to blackmail Martin Luther King. So something bad on the government. Trying to blackmail him. Saying, basically kill yourself or this is coming out.

But then there is information on intimate relationships with at least three women. One in Atlanta. One in Mount Vernon. One in New York. One in Washington, DC.

Another memo refers to a recording where King looked at -- this is according to his biographer, where King quoting looking on and laughed as the pastor of Baltimore's Cornerstone Baptist church allegedly raped a woman in the Willard Hotel.

Now, that pastor died in 1991. So there's no way to verify the FBI's information. It's not clear whether the agents involved were transcribing the true reality of his private life, or creating gossip. We don't know. But --

STU: They did, obviously, try to hurt him. And his reputation. That's kind of known. And it's been known for a long time. The question is, is this stuff true? As you point out, the guy who came out with this information in 2019, I think it was, is a very reputable guy. Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer. Right?

GLENN: Again, and authorized by the King family. So this is the guy the King family has said is credible.

STU: And it's hard to believe this lands in any other place than them saying, well, the government did this. And, you know, they will deny it, I think.

GLENN: Well, and does a tape exist? The letter is 500 words. Claims to be from an African-American who supported the civil rights movement.

It was, however, written by the FBI. It accuses King of immoral conduct lower than that of a beast. I'm quoting. And a giant liability to all of us Negroes. Quoting.

STU: Yeah. You didn't have to tell that was a quote.

GLENN: Well, I wanted to make sure.

STU: Unless I don't know something about your background. I don't know.

GLENN: It encourages King to listen to an endorsed -- an enclosed tape, so we don't know if the tape exists.

The writer tells King, it's all there on the record. Your sexual orgies. Listen to yourself, you filthy abnormal animal. You are on record. You have been on record, all of your adulteress acts. Sexual orgies, extending far into the past. But this someone, but a tiny sample. You have 34 days in which to do, dot, dot, dot. There is only one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy, fraudulent self is bared before the nation.

I mean, it's not going to make the FBI look good. And it may not make Martin Luther King look good.

STU: The other one you mentioned too, was affairs, which are well-known.

The buyer first says, it's been well-known for 35 to 40 years, that there have been multiple other girlfriends.

I always thought that there were probably ten or 12 over the course of four to five years. This new material makes clear that the total is more like 40 to 45.

GLENN: Wow.

STU: I mean, that's getting a lot of work there. You're a busy bee. Forty to 45, plus the civil rights thing. That's a busy schedule.

GLENN: When do you have time to eat?

STU: Right!

GLENN: The 32-year-old grandson of JFK made an announcement yesterday about JFK's assassination file being opened.

He said, that this is nothing more than a grand scheme. Let's see here.

STU: Grand scheme?

GLENN: Yeah. He said, there is no grand scheme to kill the president. Or, JFK.

And this scheme is just being a political prop, using John F. Kennedy as a political prop for Trump.

STU: How? Why?

GLENN: I don't know. I have no idea.

STU: It's hard to even understand the -- look, why would you not want to know this? What year is this? It's 2025. This happened a long time ago. It's about time we know what actually went on there.

And, look, there will be, I'm sure, some bad things. Some things that probably look for these guys. And some that look bad.

GLENN: Who cares?

STU: They're historical figures.

GLENN: We just want the true history. That's all I want. That's all I want.

STU: We already did a movie about it. It's time to find out what's going on.

GLENN: Yeah. And if you want the country to survive, we have to transparent. I want to know all the things. Even if everybody was pardoned. I want to know who was involved in the January 6th thing. I want to know all the facts.

STU: True.

GLENN: Even if we can't put everybody in jail, I want to know all the facts on -- on the Russia, Russia, Russia thing. On the Joe Biden, you know -- we have to expose these things.

STU: I want to know who hid and how they hid Joe Biden's mental time line from the American people.

GLENN: Big time.

STU: I want to know that. I want an investigation on that.

GLENN: Those people -- those people should go to jail, because I don't think they've been pardoned.

STU: That's true. Exactly.

It needs to be investigated. We need to know how far that went. This is one of the reasons, it feels like to me, hearing you over the years, that you put together the museum.

To unearth things like this. Good or bad, either way, the American people deserve to know the truth.

GLENN: Hello! You have to know the truth, and especially the dark sides of ourselves.
Otherwise, there's bitter and sweet. I mean, I will talk to you a little bit about AI, and AI is offering us a perfect world. Okay?

That's what this is going to be, a perfect life.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: The Garden of Eden. It already existed. Okay?

And we gave it up, for knowledge. Of good and evil.

There is oppose to everything. Good, evil, pleasure, pain. All of that.

And you have to have both sides.

Otherwise, you don't know really what you have.

So right now, Americans haven't seen a lot of pain in our lives. I mean, whatever you're going through, might seem like a lot of pain. But as a country, nothing like the Great Depression.

Nothing like World War II. We haven't experienced that. So we don't really appreciate what we have.

We have to know both sides. And, you know, when it comes to Martin Luther King, that's a holiday.

We took away the Abraham Lincoln holiday. And the George Washington holiday. To make it, a combined holiday for presidents, which presidents?

And then gave Martin Luther King his holiday.

Okay. Was that right? Was that a mistake?

I don't know. Let's just know who we're holding up here. And that doesn't mean that his ideas of America live up to your promises as important. It's probably more important now than ever before. Because the people who have been oppressed in the past, are being convinced that you're still oppressed, and now the only way to not be oppressed is to take Martin Luther King's message, and flip it upside, on its head.

And say, you've got to be a racist to be an antiracist. The only way to fix racism is to engage in racism. These are important conversations for us to have.

And I for one, applaud the president for doing this. And I think we should get all of it. Absolutely all of it. And I hope it doesn't stop here.

The REAL Reason Trump Wants Greenland and the Panama Canal | Glenn TV | Ep 407

Glenn Beck debunks the hysterical claims that President Trump wants to conduct military invasions because of his interests in Greenland and the Panama Canal. His critics ignore the big picture. This isn’t some imperialistic power play — it is strategic maneuvering to counter Chinese and Russian ambitions. The U.S. has a long history of planting a flag in Greenland to combat threats from Nazis and the Soviet Union. Greenland also has some of the world’s largest untapped deposits of rare earth minerals, including graphite, copper, and lithium, that are essential for making all kinds of tech, vehicles, and planes. Glenn argues that it’s in our national security interest to collapse China’s stranglehold on mining and refining the world’s rare earth minerals. Trump’s critics also forget the history of the Panama Canal. Ronald Reagan reminded us in 1976: “We bought it. We paid for it.” So why shouldn’t we keep it? The U.S. is still the number one customer of the Canal, but China is number two. President Trump knows the canal is a chokepoint for our economy and fired a warning shot at China in his inaugural address. At the end of the day, the two places are high stakes real estate deals, and who better to negotiate those deals than our new 47th president?

How to Expose WOLVES in the Second Trump Era | Glenn Beck at TPUSA’s AmFest 2024

Donald Trump has returned as the 47th President of the United States of America. But the fight to make America free again has just begun. Speaking at Turning Point USA’s 2024 AmericaFest, Glenn Beck highlights a million ways the country could tear itself apart and the ONE way it can stay together. Glenn heads to the chalkboard to explain how to figure out who’s really on Team Truth and who’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Plus, he breaks out plenty of historical artifacts that help tell the story: Darth Vader’s helmet, a cup from the Mayflower, a “Batman Begins” cowl, the Holy Grail from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” and more …

Illegal Immigrants FLEE America as Trump Deportations Begin

President Trump’s mass deportation operation has begun and reports are already coming out that illegal immigrants are voluntarily deporting themselves! But the legacy media is in full panic mode, insisting that Americans should shed tears as Trump and the military rip children from their mothers. But is that actually what he’ll do? Glenn and Stu review what Trump’s real plan is. Plus, Glenn has a message for “sanctuary cities” like Chicago: “You’re only getting more people deported quicker.”

GLENN: Oh, boy. Stu, Al Sharpton is very upset. Very upset today.

STU: Oh, no.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He is very upset that companies are dropping the enforcement of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. He said, why did we have DEI? We have DEI because you have denied us diversity. You denied us equity. You denied us inclusion.

If you want to put us in the back of the bus, we're going to do the Dr. King/Rosa Parks on you. I don't know if that's a new dance move or what.

STU: It's a TikTok dance.

GLENN: It's a TikTok dance. But, you know what, I really don't fear Al Sharpton.

STU: No?

GLENN: You know, used to be a fear of Al Sharpton with some. And no.

I don't think -- you watch how insignificant that is going to be.

Americans have heard it all. They've done it all.

They're not afraid of it anymore. Oh, my gosh. They're marching in front of us. Calling us racist.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, let's give them a little something to make them go away. They don't go away. Okay?

They don't go away!

You hire, and you take activists, bringing them into your company. Or you play ball with those activists.

Revolutionaries. That's all you're going to have left in the end. So congratulations with that. Saw that. It doesn't work.

No interest. It's not going to make a difference.

STU: It's a mindset change. You know.

GLENN: It is. It is.

STU: I remember the first time we got protested by one of these organizations.

And it was like, gosh, what's happening.

Wait a minute.

I didn't understand it. We came from a -- we started a local radio show, that wound up going national.

When you get to that level. These things start happening. And then like, I don't know. A few times after it occurs.

GLENN: You roll your eyes.

STU: You roll your eyes. When I go on Twitter. And you see something negative about you or whatever.

You just don't -- generally speaking, you just don't care.

It comes and goes. You just get to that point, none of it makes any difference to you. It becomes a superpower.

Because you just don't care about any of it.

GLENN: And especially now, nobody cares about it. Nobody cares about it. You know, do you mind being called -- now people are wearing that as a badge of honor.

Oh, Al Sharpton. Yeah. He came after me because I believed in actual diversity. Because I believed in actual racism. Was bad. I believed in that idea, and the best way to fight it, is to forget about color. And to just look for merit.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm scared. It's not going to change anything.

Let me give you a couple of other things that Donald Trump -- in fact, I could go a full hour of the stuff just remaining in the last two hours, of the things he's done in the last 24.

President Donald Trump declared the global corporate minimum tax. Did you know we had one?

Yeah.

The Biden administration signed us up for this one.

A global minimal tax.

So, in other words, companies we promised. We promised the whole world, we're never going to have a tax rate lower than 15 percent.

The global minimum tax. Because that would be unfair. And Donald Trump said, yeah, screw you. We're not doing that. And let everyone know, that uh-uh. No. We're not going to do that.

Now, that doesn't mean we will have a tax lower than 15 percent.

STU: Let's do it! Let's embrace it.

GLENN: I would love it.

STU: I will say, when it comes to economic competition. I want to be unfair. I want to be the country, where everyone else is like, gosh, I've got to get there.

How do we get involved with them? That's exactly who I want to be. Not to mention, it really benefits the people here in the United States, more than all.

GLENN: Yeah. Now, not everybody agreed to it.

Because after Biden agreed to it, the pillar one talks. That should really scare you.

This is pillar one. The pillar one talks stalled. Because we just kind of lost interest, I guess.

Countries, Italy, France, UK. Turkey.

Weren't really excited about reinstating their digital taxes. And now with Donald Trump in, there's no way they will do it.

So congratulations to the rest of the world. We have helped set you free, again!

Now, Rand Paul has introduced some legislation to repeal Corporate Transparency Act.

This is so important. The CTA. Corporate Transparency Act.

We talked about this. This is -- this will protect small businesses, and it was signed into law as part of fiscal year 2021, the National Defense Authorization Act. What does this have to do with national defense?

It requires individuals with an ownership interest in a limited liability company. An LLC, to disclose all their personal information to the US Treasury Department's financial crimes enforcement network.

And they go after American small business owners. And any failure to comply could result in up to two years, in prison and up to $10,000 per violation.

So they are repealing that, or at least that has been introduced. Because, you know, farmers, restaurants, gyms.

Lawn service companies. All of these people -- what? I have to -- I have to register with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Unit. I don't think so. No.

STU: That's a big one. We talked a lot. That one when it happened.

GLENN: That's a big, big, big one.

STU: Pain. Giant pain at the very least going away, hopefully.

GLENN: Yes. Also, an update on the border. The Southern Border, apparently, witnessed an outflow of persons, that came into the United States over the last four years.

I don't -- I don't know if you heard that.

There was an outflow of persons. Even on inauguration day.

Illegal aliens were voluntarily deporting themselves.

And saying, I --

STU: Yeah. You know, that's -- good! First of all.

That's -- if you're illegally, you should leave. You should leave. And you should leave on your own.

It's interesting.

There's a poll Axios had today.

Which is, the share of Americans who agree with immigration policies, like deporting immigrants, who are in the country illegally.

The number overall, 66 percent. So a popular -- a popular policy.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

STU: But they -- the take from Axios is, they don't agree with the ways to do it.

Right? And so they say, here are their examples of this.

Using active duty military to find undocumented immigrants.

Only let's say 38 percent agree with that.

Deporting immigrants that came to the US illegally as children, 34 percent agree.

Quickly deporting detained immigrants, even if it involves separating families or sending people to countries, other than their country of origin, 34 percent.

Using money allocated to pay for the US military for deportation, 28 percent.

Deporting immigrants who are in the country legally, 11 percent.

Who the hell is talking about deporting people in the country legally?

GLENN: And who is 27 percent or 25 percent for that?

STU: Yeah, it was 11 percent.

Now --

GLENN: Very well. Eleven.

STU: Right. But are any of those -- any of those policies really the policies you're talking about on a day-to-day basis? There are waves of this, right?

It starts with, obviously, criminals. That have committed other crimes. Then you have people who come in contact, with law enforcement for other things that they may have done. If you are busted. Let's say in a -- a raid of a factory.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Those people would get deported now. As opposed to released and they would go to another factory.

Those types of things are the interactions that would lead to a deportation.

Like, they are trying to paint this picture. I heard all sorts of coverage on this, this morning. Like, we're going to have military members, going school to school, to find children, who are illegal immigrants and deport them.

GLENN: It's ridiculous.

STU: That's not what these policies are going to do.

And what more likely, the overwhelming majority of these, quote, unquote, deportations are going to be of the self-deportation variety.

When people start seeing that, hey. I got pulled over for, you know -- because I got in a car accident. Or whatever.

And, you know, the police came over. And they investigated. Found out, somehow, we're illegal immigrants.

You will get deported for something like that. People start seeing that.

They will be like, wait a minute. There's no longer this giant welcome mat. For us to come here illegally.

And that message --

GLENN: Right. It will be too much stress on the family. Too much.

And they will say, what will we do with the children? Take them back home with you. Yeah, what is wrong with you?

STU: You shouldn't just leave them here. What do you do, when you leave a park? You don't just leave them at the park. You take them with you.

GLENN: What do I do with children, when I take them to the park?

STU: You take them home with you.

And that is what a large portion of this, will be people saying. You know, and when we talk about this.

They say, oh, they're coming here to do jobs. And Americans won't do.

When we say those jobs aren't here.

They're not going to come. Right?

When we're not rewarding companies for giving jobs to illegal immigrants. Who are paying them less than the minimum wage.

GLENN: The majority of people are going to self-deport.

Also, the cities that are sanctuary cities are only making it worse. Because if they won't turn over the criminals. When they're released. Or they're in jail.

If they won't do that, then they release them. And our -- ICE needs to go find them.

And if they're hiding with the family and stuff like that or a different family, when we do find them, they'll bust everybody. They'll bust everybody.

So, you know, any sanctuary city that is saying, we're not going to help ICE. You're only helping more people get deported quicker.

And you're not really helping. Now, let me give you this from the Chicago Tribune.

When reports surfaced over the weekend, that mass deportations could potentially begin on the Chicago area on Tuesday.

Martin Ramos informed his boss he was taking time off from work. He stocked up on groceries and decided his kids would skip soccer practice this week.

Ramos, who immigrated from Guadalajara Mexico, without the necessary work permits, spent the first full day of Donald Trump's second presidency hunkered down with his family, trying to avoid being picked up by ICE agents.

An arrest, he knows, would destroy everything that he and his wife have worked for, and force their two boys into an uncertain future.

Force their two boys into an uncertain future. They're staying home from school because they play soccer. And they can't play soccer. We have to do everything possible to keep our children safe.

What will they do, if we get deported?
They will go home, with you!

ICE agents did not show up at the Juliet Factory where Ramos and his wife both work on Tuesday. But fear inflicted upon the employees there was evident.

A coworker told Ramos that only ten out of the typical 40 to 50 coworkers showed up.

In Little Village, one of Chicago's largest Mexican immigrant communities, streets were mostly deserted and quiet. Tamale vendors, a hardy group used to braving all kinds of weather, weren't lined up on the sidewalks.

The hardware store parking lots, where day laborers searched for work, were also largely empty.

So, in other words, they aren't hanging out with a sign that says, we'll work for food. We'll work for anything.

And picked up by construction workers that don't want to pay union workers in Chicago. Is that what I'm hearing from the Chicago Tribune?

The possibility of mass deportations have terrified some of the area's roughly 400,000 undocumented immigrants. Prompting many to skip work.

Keep their kids out of school. And stay hidden until the promised raids end.

They are not going to end. They are not going to end.

Now, Chicago is saying that they're not going to help at all.

That's okay.

That's okay.

Sunday mass at saint Agnes of Bohemia Catholic Church was unusually empty. And the church personally advised a group of street vendors, based on the southwest side to stay home during the week.

Until they will learn how ICE will operate. Out of the thirteen street vendors, only one was out there. Most vendors declined to speak to the Tribune out of fear, they might be identified and targeted.

People are hiding. They call me and ask me what to do. But my hands are tied. I don't think anyone knows what to do. Yeah. Here's what you do.

You tell them to go home!

You tell them that this government is serious about applying the laws, equally. And holding on to those laws.

And you then tell all minorities, in Chicago, you know, I've got to tell you, if your city continues to defy federal law, then your city is going to get funding, cut off from the federal government.

Let the minorities know that they are embraced bit federal government. But due to the city and the state's stance on protection of those who come here illegally and took your jobs and receive things the Democrats would have never given to you, or any other American.

The federal government only has one lever. And that is: To shut off the funding to Chicago.

So recognize who the bad guy here is. It's up to you, Chicago. It's up to you to stand up.

Now, the question is, are you going to stand up with illegals? Are you going to stand up for the absolute vast minority? Are you going to stand up against the minorities in your city, that are Americans?

Because they've been protesting this whole time, saying, wait.

Why are we getting the shaft, and these guys are getting hotel rooms, and free food, and everything else.

You never gave us any of that stuff.

Yeah. Well, it's time for Chicago to wake up. And these states will either be absolutely left behind, or they will wake up.

And that goes for California too. You are going to see that choice on Friday.
