Trump Puts Davos Elites ON NOTICE That America is Back

President Donald Trump recently gave a televised address to the Davos elites at the World Economic Forum, and it was everything Glenn wanted to hear. He made it clear that America is “a strong, sovereign nation” again, that we’re done with DEI, and that “there are only 2 genders.” But Glenn doesn’t believe he was JUST talking to the elites. Glenn explains why he’s convinced this was a message to the people of Europe who are tired of globalist overlords and the destruction of their cultures.

GLENN: Let me give you a couple of things from the Davos meeting yesterday. President Trump spoke at Davos. He talked about the revolution of common sense and confronting the economic chaos. Which we covered yesterday.

And then he talked about what he did on day one. Which was, he cut the ridiculous -- and I'm quoting, wasteful, green new deal, which he calls a scam. Withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord, ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate, and he said, he's begun the largest deregulation campaign in history.

So let's pick it up right after that. Trump at Davos. Cut ten.

Here's why companies, he said, should come to America.

DONALD: To further unleash our economy, our majorities in the House and Senate, which we also took along with the presidency, are going to pay us the largest tax cut in American history.

Including massive tax cuts for workers and family.

And big tax cuts for domestic producers and manufacturers.

And we're working with the Democrats, on getting an extension of the original Trump tax cuts, as you probably know.

By just reading any paper.

My message to every business and the world is very simple.

Come make your product in America. And we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on earth.

We're bringing it very substantially even from the original Trump tax cuts. But if you don't make your product in America. Which is your prerogative.

Then very simply, you will have to pay a tariff, differing amounts. But a tariff, which will direct hundreds of billions of dollars and even trillions of dollars into our Treasury, to strengthen our economy and pay down debt.

Under the Trump administration, there will be no better place on earth to create jobs, build factories, or grow a company, than right here in the good old USA. Already, Americans, economic -- you can see this, I think maybe in your -- in your wonderful, wonderful room that you're all gathered together. So many of my friends.

But Americans, the economic confidence is soaring like we haven't seen in many, many decades. Maybe not at all.

Upon my election, it was just announced, a small business optimism skyrocketed by 41 points in a single month.

That's the highest ever. There's never been anything like that.

GLENN: So he's right about that.

And he is -- he is carrot and stick, come to America. Build your products.

Which is not something the World Economic Forum had been concentrating before.

He also talked about the green new deal. Saying, we need three times the energy, just for AI.

So we're going to be making energy. We are unleashing the kraken, when it comes to energy.

He also said something about bringing American -- America back. And ending the border chaos.

This is cut 12.

DONALD: America is back and open for business.

And this week, I'm also taking swift action to stop the invasion at our southern border.

They allowed people to come in at levels that nobody has ever seen before.

It was ridiculous.

I decided and declared to -- to do, and very, very importantly, a national emergency, on our border immediately halted, all entry of illegal border crossers. Of which there were many.

And began promptly returning the illegal trespassers back to the place which they've came.

That action as you've already seen. Have already started, have deployed active duty US military and National Guard troops to the border to assist in repelling the invasion. It was really an invasion.

We will not allow our territory to be violated, after long years, the United States is strong and sovereign and a beautiful nation once again. It's a strong, sovereign nation.

GLENN: Strong, sovereign nation.

Who is receiving that message?

Who is that aimed toward? He's speaking to the leaders of the world. The World Economic Forum.

But these are the same leaders of the world, that had been pushing for loss of sovereignty.

They've been pushing all of these illegals, all throughout Europe.

Well, Europe, the Europeans, they don't like it.

That's what's causing the uproar, and so many of the elections, that they're now trying to control.

Because people are saying, I want my country. I believe in my country. As it is. I don't want to lose all of my traditions and my history. And I don't want it to be an Islamic country, period!

And so people are starting to rise up. This is a shot across the bough. This is not delivered just to the leadership.

We're not playing that game anymore! This message is for the people of Europe.

This is the first time I have seen America pick the torch back up, to say, we're going to be the shining city on the hill.

We are going to lead the world back to freedom. You can choose not to. We're not going to force you into it. But we're not going down the crazy path anymore. And that's going to resonate with all kinds of people, all around the world. That's -- we are once again in the position of giving the world hope.

This is a very, very big deal. And should shake the foundations of the World Economic Forum. Anybody who is smart, who is a politician knows, uh-oh. I'm in real trouble. Because now there is a leader on the other side, saying, no! Don't have to do it. We're not going to.

And it's not Javier Milei. Javier Milei, what he's doing, I hope we're going to do a lot of the things that he's doing in Argentina.

But it's Argentina. So it's not getting the kind of global -- you know, exposure. That it has -- that happens immediately, because Donald Trump is somebody who just controls the media. They can't help themselves.

And it's also the United States. Making big, bold statements. Now, here's what he said about DEI. Cut 13.

DONALD: In addition, I'm pleased to report that America is also a free nation once again. On day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship. No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as misinformation or disinformation.

Which are the favorite word of sensors and those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas and, frankly, progress. We have saved free speech in America, and we have saved it strongly. With another historic executive order this week, I also ended the weaponization of law enforcement against the American people, and frankly against politicians. And restored the fair, equal, and impartial rule of law.

My administration has taken action to abolish all discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion nonsense. And these are policies that were absolute nonsense.

Throughout the government and the private sector. With the recent, yet somewhat unexpected great Supreme Court decision, just made, America will once again become a merit-based country. You have to hear that word. Merit-based country.

And I have made it official, and official policy of the United States, that there are only two genders. Male and female.

And we will have no men participating in women's sports, and transgender operations, which became the rage. Will occur, very rarely.

GLENN: Okay.

Think of -- think of this. I want you to put this in the role of an average British citizen. And then put yourself in the role as the head of the labor party.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Which one is celebrating?

STU: The average citizen. Yeah.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: What is -- basis interesting. Let's say you're the average left-wing European leader. Political leader. And you've gone through. You've been doing this a long time. You have been on this arc, which is bringing the world to your side for a very long time.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

STU: And I think 2016 happens, and it -- you look at it, as sort of a one-off.

GLENN: Yes. You hope it's a fluke.

STU: Like, this is crazy. He's really famous. She was a bad candidate, somehow she got in there. Got in there.

GLENN: But you also have to write off as a fluke, Brexit.

STU: Yeah. Yeah. That's true.

GLENN: Those happened at the same time.

So there was a warning sign both places. This is not -- this is not where the people are going. Okay. Go ahead.

STU: So now this happens in 2024.

What is the difference in your reaction. If you're that person.

GLENN: Run for the hills. Hide. Become a chameleon. Switch. Do everything you can, to blend in.

And do all you can to talk a different game.

And regroup. That's what I would do, if I were a scumbag, you know, left-wing politician in Europe. Okay?

If I'm honest and I would look at this and say, you know what, I really thought this stuff would work.

But it's just not going to happen!

The people do not want any of this stuff.

I would be leading the campaign for my side to stop it. Stop it.

Because what's at the other end, if you don't stop it, is revolution.

STU: But this has never been about what the people want.

GLENN: No!

STU: It was always, we know better for you. What you need. And what I want.

We're the experts.

We're at the top.

GLENN: And they would have gotten away with it. Had it not been for. Well, the Scooby-Doo van. And the internet.

STU: Those pesky kids.

GLENN: Those damn kids.

STU: But past Shaggy and Scooby, there is this element of this. Where this is -- this isn't a minor thing.

This is your grand experiment going down in flames.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

So the only thing that the leadership of the WEF, who believe that -- and this is why -- this is why Sam Altman is so scary.

The only thing you have going for you, is if you can get AI fast enough online, to create a cage for those who are not in control of AI. Okay?

That's, I believe, why Larry Ellison. Sam Altman. Everybody else. Suddenly. I mean, Sam Altman gave lots of money to the left.

And Biden's campaign.

He was is not a Trump supporter. All of a sudden, he was a Trump supporter?

And Trump is giving him this access. And saying, hey.

Create AI. For us?

That is extraordinarily dangerous.

STU: Don is getting a lot of friends these days. Good friends.

And there's a lot of positives to that. Obviously, a lot of concerns too.

GLENN: When it comes to AI, there's nothing he should be more careful with. Because that is the only thing left they can do.

Is create an absolute cage, that humans just can't escape from.

STU: Put this in historical perspective, Glenn.

Bring me back to Christmas 1991. Right?

The Soviet Union collapses.

Is this the biggest event since then? On that -- on that sort of, wow! The whole world is changing directions.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: There's lots of warnings. Maybe we're not to that point.

Maybe we're in 1989 or 1988. How do you --

GLENN: No, I think we are just at the point of the wall coming down. Donald Trump broke the wall.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: So I think we're there.

But what you don't understand, is we are on the other side of that wall, as we now walk forward.

Is the biggest event of all mankind. And I'm going to talk about that next hour, a bit. But you have to understand, there is a new world, just on the horizon!

If you read what Sam Altman is saying. And others are saying.

You cannot convince me, that they don't know how to make ASI.

They just don't have the computing power, the cloud system, they don't have the computing power. And they don't have the power.

2027 is when they're supposed to plug this thing in.

And I'm sorry. But I do not believe that they -- they aren't going to be able to go to ASI almost immediately.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Your Actions Matter More Than Words in the Eyes of God

Glenn Beck and Eric Metaxas expose the spiritual crisis gripping America’s churches — a moment they compare to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning before World War II. As the culture descends into moral confusion, too many Christians retreat into silence, claiming faith while refusing to act. Together, they argue that true belief demands courage — that “faith without works is dead” — and warn that neutrality in the face of evil is itself a form of complicity.

The American Dream is in CRISIS - How Freedom Was Replaced by Comfort

The American Dream used to mean freedom and the chance to build your own life through hard work, faith, and independence. But today, it’s been replaced by comfort, consumption, and debt. Glenn Beck breaks down how America traded liberty for lifestyle, why socialism is gaining ground, and what it will take to reclaim the real American Dream before it disappears for good.

GLENN: I don't know if you saw the visualizing the American dream, Stu.

You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can forge your own way.

You can -- you know, you can have a scrap of land, and grow your own food if up.

You can, you know, go to school. Not go to school.

You can find a job. If you're qualified for it, you have an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit.

But the percentage of Americans who say the American dream is retirement is 86 percent. Health care, 86 percent. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets, 66. A wedding, 55 percent. That's the American dream, I can get married.

The American dream, if that's what you think, they've now estimated, the cost per household over the cost -- over the lifetime, retirement is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20 percent you want to, is $957,594. Owning a car, buying and finance to begin with new cars every ten years is now $900,000 over your lifetime. Raising two kids to 18, plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids. Health care, over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations, annual vacation from '22 to '85, $180,000. One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000!

That's more expensive than a wedding. The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.

There's a reason socialism is doing well. You look at that, and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American dream. And for a lot of people, that is the American dream!

That's not what the American dream is supposed to be, but, you know, once -- you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom. It became stuff. And, you know, when there's a new report out. Let me see if I have that.

There's a new report out now that shows, first time home buyers made up just 21 percent of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record.

The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all-time high of '62. The median downtowns, reaching 23 percent.

The highest since 2023.

And also, where is it?

The last one is -- the median age for first time home buyers, in 1981, it was 29 years old.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Twenty-nine years old. In 2021, it was 33 years old.

What is it this year?

Median age, first time homeowner, forty.

You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home. That puts these things that people want, dream about, out of reach, until you're 40?

You know, 29 is one thing. But if you're not seeing -- you're not seeing your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I -- I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work.

Because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you.

Or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you.

And everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you're not is patient.

And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah. Well, socialism is neat because capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that?

STU: I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for. But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.

That's not -- that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.

GLENN: But they're not learning that anywhere.

They're not -- that is our responsibility! To teach those things. Because they're not learning it anywhere.

Glenn Beck Warns of 3 Economic Outcomes That Could Change EVERYTHING | Ep 467

Socialism is spreading fast among America’s youth, and the shocking election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City marks a major cultural and economic shift. Glenn exposes how runaway debt, record home prices, AI job disruption, and the collapsing stake in capitalism have led many Millennials and members of Gen Z to embrace socialism and communism. He reveals the three possible economic futures for 2026: two that are disastrous and one that could change everything if the Trump administration’s global financial overhaul succeeds. Plus, Justin Haskins, president of the Heartland Institute, joins to reveal some terrifying truths about why young Americans are embracing socialism from a poll he conducted with Rasmussen Reports.

GLENN: From New Jersey, it's Brian. Hello, Brian.

CALLER: Hello!

GLENN: Hey.

CALLER: Yeah. Thanks for taking the calls today.

GLENN: Sure.

CALLER: Yeah. I'm worried that we are headed towards another French Revolution-style because we have entire generations. Or actually people just not being heard by their representatives.

GLENN: Hmm.

CALLER: And it's not just here. It's around the world.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

I -- actually, I had scheduled for this time, I'll just do it some other time. Talking about what's happening in -- in England.

I think England is headed for a Civil War. And -- and it's very close.

I mean, you can't put 4,000 people. 4,000 people, in jail, or try them for hate crimes. And speech crimes.

You can't -- you can't do it. In England!

You can't do that in one year. And expect people to just put up with it!

You can't -- you know, we're -- we're -- America doesn't understand yet.

The world doesn't understand.

We're in World War III. We're already in World War III.

I don't know when it becomes a hot war. Or even a war that we on our side recognize. But we are in World War III. And that -- that foe is not China.

That foe is militant Islam, period. And, you know, when we have a situation to where people are -- when the government is just like, no. It's not a problem.

It's not a problem. You know. You've got illegals all over.

It's not a problem.

It's not a problem.

It is a problem. Don't tell me what -- what the problems are not!

Because we're the ones living it!

You're the experts, who keep telling us, no. It's going to work out fine.

And it doesn't work out fine. And it just gets worse and worse.

Oh. We can spend this money. No. It looks like we can't spend this money. Oh, we can afford this. No. It looks like we can't afford this.

You know, if we do this with Ukraine, it will work out fine. No, it didn't, did it? These endless wars, all of this stuff, don't tell me what the problem is. Listen to the people and start talking to the people. Honestly, this is the reason why I'm doing this today. I -- I need to hear from you.

I need to know what's on your mind, so I stay focused and -- and clear on what America is saying.

Because I don't think -- look, you know, me taking phone calls is -- is not a true representation of anything, but it does give me a sense of -- of where you are, as an audience. Maybe not as America, but as an audience. And there are lots of things that concern me. But I want to hear it from you.
But I think you're right! We're headed for real, real trouble. All you need is real economic trouble.

You start getting real, true economic trouble. 1930s kind of depression stuff. And we're in Civil War.

Dan, Oregon. Welcome!

CALLER: Hello, Glenn. How are you?

GLENN: I'm great!

CALLER: Yeah. Good. It's been a long time.

I guess it's been over ten years, since I've had a chance to talk with you. I was one of your first insiders. I was listening to you, since you were in Florida.

GLENN: Wow. Wow.

CALLER: So it's been a long -- yeah. It has been. And I can't say I've enjoyed all of it.
(laughter)

GLENN: Neither have I!

STU: I can't say that either, I'll be honest with you.

CALLER: You know, you were talking on yesterday's show, reminiscing with Stu about how you guys started. And I remember those old shows. And, you know, at the end of the -- the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Right.

CALLER: And there was a lot more entertainment. I remember I laughed a lot.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. I know. I know. Those days are long dead.
(laughter)

STU: There's nothing to laugh about now.

CALLER: Yeah. I -- I'm 78. I still work 40 hours a week. I love my job.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: Been married for 55 years. I have seven kids.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: I've got a daughter -- I've got a daughter who is in her 40s. And she has severe TDS. She -- we don't -- I mean, we're not cutting each other off. She hasn't done that at all. We're still very close as a family. But she was down visiting the other day, and got into a conversation with my wife. And I wasn't in the room. But Kathy said it was just like listening to one of those young people out on the street that was being interviewed by the news media. And she was -- and she was in tears about it. My wife and my daughter both.

And, I mean, I love her, and I continue to support her. She's a single woman, not by choice. She just never found the right guy.

GLENN: Yeah.

CALLER: And I really think that's part of the problem. Because she started reading -- back when Trump was first running, she started reading all of this stuff about him being misogynistic and all of this stuff.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: And it's just gotten worse. I -- I'm at a loss. I really am. Because I -- like, I see the country doing better. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I still feel like that at least right now, we're doing better as a whole. But what do we do about -- what do we do about our kids about -- she went to Portland State University for the last two --

GLENN: Oh, jeez, for the love of --

CALLER: Well, yeah. For the last two years, she went to -- she went to a little college in Idaho called Ricks for the first two years, and Utah State.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

CALLER: And then she served a mission for our church in Brazil and came home, but then she went to Portland State University. And it just seems to have gone downhill from there.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. So, Dan, I think you are suffering from the same thing that almost all parents are suffering from. If you're not suffering from this, then, I mean, God bless you. You know, get on your knees and thank God. Because you are a lucky, lucky family. Everybody has in their family. I have it in my family.

And you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?

My -- what is your goal with your daughter? Your real goal?

CALLER: My real goal is for us to be united eternally. That's my goal. That's my goal as a father and has been to teach her --

GLENN: And how -- and how is that going to happen with politics?

CALLER: We just stay together as a family regardless of what politics does.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Exactly right.

I think we're in a place now where as parents, you can ask your kids, but it has to be honest. It cannot be trying to win. It has to be honest. How did you get there?

I mean, I remember. You know, we've talked about this before. And you didn't believe that before. What has changed?

Can you help me with that?

I would like to see what you're reading, or what that was.

And just ask questions. But they have to be honest. They can't be, you know, because I'm setting you up. Because I want to change your mind.

But keep a dialogue open with them. And just love them!

Just love them!

Because if you do anything else, you're going to drive them away. And then they're really lost. So just love them.

CALLER: Oh, I know that. Glenn, when she was young -- when she was young, I considered her one of the elect. And the Scripture says, that in the last days, even the elect are going to be deceived. And that's what I'm seeing. But everything you've said, I -- I am doing. I'm doing it that way. Because I know --

GLENN: Okay. Good. Then you didn't need to -- I appreciate it. I'm so glad you called me. But you didn't need to -- my advice, you already have it down. You're a very wise man.
