5 min readWho’s Laughing at Trump’s Historic Greenland Deal Now?
On September 21, 2026, Greenland announced that the United States had secured permanent control over the security of the island. Denmark and Greenland both signed off at the United Nations. Glenn Beck opened his show with a simple reaction: "This guy is fricking amazing."
The deal means no non-NATO country can build anything on Greenland. Denmark keeps the title. America keeps the keys. Beck argued this was always the goal—not buying the island as a 51st state, but securing the Arctic: the shipping lanes opening at the top of the world, the minerals under the ice, and a guarantee that China and Russia never put a base there.
The Diesel Crisis No One Sees Coming
Beck devoted the first hour to explaining a crisis he believes most Americans haven't noticed yet. Diesel prices are spiking—national average $6.29 a gallon, over $8 in California, $17 in Europe. For the first time in history, every region in the country is over $6 a gallon for diesel.
The problem is not crude oil. Beck was explicit: "This is not a crude problem you can drill your way out of. We are not short of oil. We are short of the ability to turn oil into diesel worldwide all at once."

Show Notes
The national average for diesel fuel has nearly doubled since last year, the first time in the history of the number. Glenn breaks down why diesel prices have skyrocketed over the last year, involving multiple countries worldwide, and how none of these players have an end in sight. Glenn also lays out what President Trump can do now to help the situation immediately. President Trump announced last Friday that he secured a deal with Greenland granting the United States permanent control over Greenland's security. Center for Humane Technology co-founder Tristan Harris joins to discuss the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and the legal safeguards that can protect society from AI gone awry. Glenn warns that unearned knowledge given away too soon will ruin the world but reveals the only thing that can stop it. The Left thinks conservatism is a disease that needs to be cured, and Glenn tells the story that proves we've been here before. Glenn calls out the attacks on TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk and the higher education system, which he argues is now built to shelter students from differing opinions.
