00:01:09.920Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:01:12.920We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:01:18.920We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth, because you deserve it.
00:01:24.120But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:01:26.600Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:01:30.300Give us five stars and lead a comment, because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm
00:01:36.180to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:01:39.120This isn't a podcast. This is a movement.
00:01:42.120And you're part of it. A big part of it.
00:01:43.840So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:07:47.780But they're expanding also, not just because, I guess I'm correct, we're going to get to that Politico story here in a second, but also because they're seeing the bigger picture, or do you think it's because of what is happening on the ground and people getting hit?
00:10:08.960President Donald Trump's latest attack on Iran takes a big economic bite out of one of America's chief rivals, China.
00:10:17.420I told you yesterday that if you didn't understand the big picture, you're not going to.
00:10:23.780Everybody was arguing about whether we should go into Iran or not and what this means for Iran, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:10:29.320And I said, the Iranian part of it is very important.
00:10:33.140But if you don't understand crink, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, that that axis power is called crink.
00:10:43.380If you don't understand that and what this is going to do to crink and that axis power, you don't understand the big vision of what Donald Trump is doing.
00:10:55.200Now, over the span of two months, Trump administration has removed the leaders of two countries that both shared China as one of their most important crude oil customers.
00:11:05.000Although China buys oil from all nations across the Middle East, Iran was second only to Saudi Arabia as its supplier last year.
00:11:13.960Almost all of Iran's exported oil and more than half of Venezuela's went to China last year,
00:11:21.940which remained one of the only purchasers of goods from the too heavily sanctioned nation.
00:11:26.740The two countries combined represent, listen to this, 17% of China's overall oil purchases, a meaningful share for the world's largest importer of crude oil.
00:11:42.140Did you hear what that, what the news is between Venezuela, which I told you when we went into Venice, Venezuela, this is all about Russia and China.
00:20:58.440But so I, I, I get their strategy because that's been their strategy probably since 1979.
00:21:05.300That's what they're going to hope for, but that's not what they're going to get from China.
00:21:08.860I don't see them getting too far into it, but you can see China's eventual, you can see everything that they've been setting up for the, for multiple decades, all coming to a close here.
00:21:17.520You've already talked about Venezuela, um, multiple other areas like Panama, which directly, uh, influences China or hurts China.
00:21:25.800But now Iran, which is a major corridor for the Belt and Road initiative that this was a big, big deal economically for their plans to eventually, you know, overturn the dollar, uh, as the global reserve currency, everything hinges on all these different flashpoints.
00:21:41.080We're seeing the Trump administration look at it is a brilliant strategic move all happening at once.
00:21:47.560And as you pointed out, much larger, much larger.
00:21:51.380I, I have to tell you, Jason, I said this yesterday.
00:21:53.960I, I spent the weekend looking at all of this and seeing the larger picture that I think he's playing for.
00:21:59.320And I thought I could never be president of the United States because I wouldn't have the balls to do it.
00:22:03.140I mean, this is, this is, you, you've got to be humble enough to listen and yet confident enough to say, yeah, I'm pulling the trigger.
00:22:19.540I think, you know, everybody says when, when Ronald Reagan said, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
00:22:24.760And then he sat in the negotiations and said with Gorbachev, I'm not negotiating.
00:22:30.300I'm not let let's, you know, let let's, let's dismantle the entire nuclear arsenal or I'm not interested in anything and we'll just pursue star Wars.
00:22:51.900Oh, a hundred percent, but it's, it's, but don't mistake balls for reckless because I mean, over the past multiple administrations, they've been extremely reckless and it's usually manifested in things like big time saber rattling over things like Taiwan, things like that, that are designed specifically to antagonize the heck out of the Chinese.
00:24:06.880It's high interest debt that is quietly eating away at your momentum.
00:24:10.380The credit cards at 20 something percent loans stacked on top of each other payments that keep you treading water.
00:24:15.920Instead of moving forward, this is where American financing can help you their salary, their, their employee owned, um, and their mortgage consultants.
00:24:24.920And they focus on what makes sense for you, not on commissions because they're not getting commissions.
00:24:29.700You can review your current mortgage and see whether consolidating high interest debt into a lower rate home loan could reduce your monthly payments and help you start building again.
00:24:38.660If you feel like you're behind it, you probably are.
00:24:41.620And it's, it just may mean that your structure needs to change.
00:24:44.700No upfront fees to find out if you qualify, just talk to them, see if they can help American financing, 800-906-2440.
00:25:30.060Um, what the UN and the W E F and everybody else took 30 years to put together.
00:25:36.840Donald Trump is, has taken the last 13 months and he is redesigning everything himself, destroying that framework.
00:25:45.660So we don't go into a global system and coming up and looking at all of our allies and everything else and saying, what is the future of America?
00:26:39.120Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, yada, yada, yada.
00:26:42.220And quite honestly, I, I dismissed the whole nuclear weapon talk.
00:26:46.600It is real, but I don't know how real and how close they were because I've heard that for 30 years and sorry, I just don't, I'm just not going.
00:26:56.780There that's, I'm not going to, you will not get my support based on that.
00:27:01.220You can get my support on, yes, they're going to be a danger someday with nuclear weapons, but you're not going to get my support on.
00:27:43.580Um, and then the Islamic Republic, you know, took root and Hezbollah came in and, uh, it's been a very dangerous, uh, country for a very long time.
00:27:54.700And they have never gone against Hezbollah because Hezbollah was so strong.
00:28:18.160Tells me that Iranians influence spread out all over the middle East has really diminished.
00:28:24.400And they have all that to thank for the brutality of October 7th, uh, a severe miscalculation, completely dismantled the regime before they even knew it was dismantled.
00:28:37.500But not only the Iranian influence, but as you're going through with the overall plan between, you know, countries like China, countries like Russia and Iran's place in that, everything started to crumble on October 7th.
00:28:52.920But the, uh, the, the, the, the Lebanon completely would have been a different country if not for the Iranians.
00:29:00.280Iranians actually introduced suicide bombings into Iran back in the early eighties, um, just spiraled out of control, completely built up that network, uh, for years to where Hezbollah rivaled the actual Lebanese government.
00:29:14.840Hezbollah was in control of that country.
00:29:16.700It is no longer, there's still a threat.
00:29:18.780And that's what Israel is, is, is, is, uh, is addressing now.
00:29:22.920But this is also going to be a threat because this was never addressed in the Obama administration.
00:29:26.600This is when we were partly while we were screaming at them, why are you doing this deal?
00:29:30.700Because they can, uh, the Iranians can now not only shut off the Straits of Hormuz, but also the other Straits, uh, the other waterway off the coast of Yemen through the Houthis.
00:29:41.640But this is carbon copied all over the Middle East.
00:30:29.820Overnight, the Israeli Air Force struck a lands Iran's leadership complex.
00:30:34.320The IDF says around 100 fighter jets dropped over 250 bombs.
00:30:39.640The buildings targeted in the complex included Iran's presidential bureau, the headquarters of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, a compound used by Iran's most senior forum for meetings, as well as an institution for training Iranian army officers.
00:30:53.640This is interesting because, Jason, I thought we got most of them.
00:30:56.740And in fact, last night, Trump said we had ideas about who could help with the transition in Iran and, uh, Israel actually took out our second and third choices already.
00:31:11.000So Iran has been setting up for a very long time, a very complex and, but easily implemented success, succession, uh, to keep the regime alive.
00:31:21.920And they, they are implementing that as we speak.
00:31:25.280Um, I, it's, it's, it's going to be kind of like whack-a-mole, but there's a lot of the people that are still involved with the Iranian government at the highest levels, uh, even the mid-tier, uh, people that were still around for the 1979 religion, uh, revolution.
00:32:13.480I mean, boy, this is really, uh, you know, and the one thing that keeps going through my mind, unrelated, unrelated, but unrelated to this longer term, anybody who ever thought I'm just going to unplug from the system.
00:32:26.900I'll just go live in the mountains and they'll never find me really, really, uh, there is no place to hide at this point.
00:53:45.300But presidents have always asserted the right to respond to what they consider to be threats to the national security.
00:53:55.220And courts have largely deferred to presidents in that sense and deferred to Congress in taking steps.
00:54:02.420So but taking the War Powers Act at its face, 60 days is ample, very likely, for this operation.
00:54:10.560And that's the reason why today you have Senator Kaine and others putting forward a War Powers Resolution to cut that period down and to say, we hereby order you to stop all combat operations in Iran.
00:54:29.580The problem with that is it's a tough sounding resolution until you get to the final line.
00:54:37.180And the final line says, nothing in this section restricts you in dealing with imminent attacks.
00:54:50.140I mean, the Iranian government is firing missiles randomly at other countries.
00:54:55.960So the question is, what does this resolution even do?
00:54:59.500And can't the president veto this anyway?
00:55:02.800I mean, he could pass both the House and the Senate and then get to his desk and he can veto it, can't he?
00:55:07.960Right. And the other thing is that it just I don't even think it will pass.
00:55:12.500I think the interesting dynamic here on the Hill is to see how many of these members are willing in the middle of combat operations to say, even symbolically, even though it's sort of a paper tiger, you better stop now.
00:55:28.980But the other combination with that, the sort of companion to that is that there's also a vote this week scheduled to fund Homeland Security and TSA.
00:55:40.260So it'll be very interesting how many of these Democrats, we've already had some of them come forward, like Murphy and Durbin and others saying, no, we're not going to fund Homeland Security, the Coast Guard, TSA until you give us compromises on ice.
00:55:59.200And that is going to be breathtaking if the Democrats maintain that position in the middle of this conflict.
00:56:06.040So it's so it's so it's so weird because I am, you know, I don't like the Patriot Act.
00:56:16.560However, two things, the War Powers Act, if you want to actually say and and make a statement, the president must act with Congress and it has to be declared every time the time to do that was two months ago or in two months, hopefully, if this thing is over, you do it when you're not at war.
00:56:37.000It's completely irresponsible to do it right now.
00:56:42.300This the messages it sends to our enemies, the the the idea that you're just going to turn this thing off is insane.
00:56:51.560The same thing with Department of Homeland Security.
00:56:54.400You can't just do that at the most critical time of Homeland Security, because that's how we're our security is geared now.
00:57:08.880Well, I think that's a fascinating thing, Glenn.
00:57:11.800You're a student of history and you know this as well as I do, that from the very beginning, from Thomas Jefferson, presidents have been able to box in Congress on this power because they have the inherent power to dedicate U.S. armed forces.
00:57:26.660So presidents have the right to initiate a fight.
00:57:31.240If they if they judge someone threatening the country, they don't have to wait for anyone.
00:57:35.620But once that fight has started, I it's very difficult for Congress to throw a flag on the play and say, OK, walk away when you're literally in the grips of an opponent.
00:57:47.400And so what these what what Cain is suggesting in this resolution is that as hundreds of ballistic missiles are flying, as attacks are occurring around the world, the U.S. military is supposed to disengage.
00:58:02.460And basically, it's a choice between fight or flight.
00:59:12.280You need somebody in something watching over the threats.
00:59:14.880You can't see LifeLock monitors millions of data points every single second for risk risk to your identity.
00:59:22.100And they can detect and alert you to the potential threats that you may not spot on your own, like loans taken out in your name or crimes committed by somebody pretending to be you.
00:59:29.460And if you do become a victim, they have a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist, a whole team that will work to fix it.
00:59:48.160Back in 10 seconds with Jonathan Durley.
00:59:50.380There are a couple of books that I know written about the founding of our nation that are critical.
01:00:07.400One of them, and I would put this at the top of your list, you're looking for a book to read about the founding of our country and really understand, especially I love the way you've treated Thomas Paine, really understand all of the people.
01:00:19.560In the real way, not somebody looking back 200 years, but understanding them from their time period, from their perspective and their time period.
01:00:30.020It's Rage and the Republic by Jonathan Turley.
01:00:34.240It just went on sale a couple of weeks ago, and it is really, really good.
01:00:38.080Jonathan, talk to me about the Barbary pirates.
01:00:40.900Thomas Jefferson said this was our first foreign war.
01:00:43.740And he said, you know, if you understand the, I think he called them the Mohammedans or something, the Islamists back in the day, the Barbary pirates, and you understand what they believe, they're not going away.
01:00:56.920And we either finish this now, or it'll be our first foreign war.
01:01:02.620And if we don't finish it, it will be our last foreign war at some point, because they're not going to give up.
01:01:14.180I mean, it's a fascinating analogy, because, you know, this, on both political and strategic terms, you know, we were, Congress essentially was yielding to the Barbary pirates.
01:01:27.780It actually voted to appropriate 80, I'm sorry, $800,000, which is almost $20 million.
01:01:44.180And Jefferson and others began to balk and say, look, we can't do that.
01:01:50.380George Washington also expressed shock that we were going to pay tribute.
01:01:56.060And negotiations, and this is very similar to the Iranians, it was clear from negotiations that these pirates were going to stay pirates.
01:02:04.580You know, they just basically got you to pay appropriate money for ransom.
01:02:10.540And so Jefferson decided to act on his own and sent a fleet to engage the Barbary pirates.
01:02:20.880Now, the other analogy that's interesting here is, and it shows you, as you were noting, Glenn, this sort of continuity of this issue, is even back then, it was murky.
01:02:32.460Congress passed a law that appropriated support for Jefferson to protect American shipping with the Barbary pirates in mind.
01:02:44.440So it was, yeah, at the very beginning, Congress was adopting these type of murky halfway measures rather than declaring a formal war.
01:02:56.380They have always been spineless weasels.
01:03:06.860And, you know, ultimately, you know, it still remained fluid even after the peace treaty with these pirates.
01:03:17.840But, you know, ultimately, I think Jefferson was right in the sense that Congress's approach was truly crazy.
01:03:27.860I mean, the idea that you're going to appropriate a tribute or ransom to pirates is just moronic.
01:03:37.160And so Jefferson would have none of it.
01:03:39.920But I think that the analogy of the Iranians is really sort of telling that if you listen to Marco Rubio and others, you know, they said last night we heard from the negotiators that the Iranians came in and said, we have enough enriched uranium now to make 11 nuclear bombs.
01:03:57.420And that was their starting position in negotiation.
01:04:00.620But that is not the way to start this negotiation.
01:04:17.980So and I know you can't speak for them, but for for the way you look at the founders and what you know in the deep study that you've done and the understanding of the Constitution.
01:04:27.820Would the Thomas Jefferson's of the day look at what we're doing now and going and say, I mean, Barack Obama was kind of doing what Congress was doing and it just doesn't work.
01:04:41.760I mean, I know they wouldn't have been lockstep on this, but would would some of the big ones be fighting for what Trump is doing or not?
01:04:51.080Well, I only have to disagree with you, Glenn, on one point.
01:04:54.980I've always maintained that only I can speak for the framers, particularly James Madison.
01:04:59.900But my students will tell you that I that I've asserted that authority repeatedly.
01:05:06.820But I know we all try to talk for the framers.
01:06:52.360But if that discomfort is being driven by inflammation, then accepting it is, you know, as normal as, you know, driving a car with a check engine light on and, you know, just turning the radio up when you start to hear knocking.
01:07:04.160My question is, are you one of those people?
01:07:07.180Relief Factor was built to go after that root issue.
01:07:10.420It's a daily supplement designed to help your body address inflammation so you're not just managing the symptoms and hoping for the best.
01:07:16.520Over a million people have tried Relief Factor and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more.
01:07:21.380You've probably learned how to compensate.
01:09:08.880Well, first of all, the framers were very practical people.
01:09:12.340In some ways, the Barbary pirates really did resonate with many of the framers, even though the dude did not like foreign entanglements, because they were all about capitalism.
01:09:46.320The biggest issue, I think, that the framers would be focused on today is how war has changed.
01:09:53.260Back then, Jefferson would send off ships that would take a month to get anywhere they needed to go.
01:10:00.420Today, in the time of ballistic missiles, the presidents can have as little as minutes.
01:10:07.620And so there's never been any question since the forming of the republic that presidents could respond to imminent attacks under Article II.
01:10:16.160And so in all practical purposes, I think the framers would look at this as a natural type of tension between the branches, but perhaps an unavoidable one, that presidents are going to have to exercise this power even when Congress disagrees.
01:10:35.720But then Congress will have to have the courage, if they disagree, to pass limitations on the use of that power.
01:10:42.480It's just that presidents know that once they are in the thick of it, this country has to rally around our troops and finish the fight.
01:10:54.280How do you think it should be written, Jonathan?
01:11:22.480Well, the most important thing is that if the Congress, which is clearly the case, is unwilling to go back to declarations of war,
01:11:30.100they have got to perfect the AUMF system, this authorization of military force.
01:11:35.840What happened with the last AUMFs from 2001, 2002, is that presidents just adopted these wild interpretations that an AUMF directed at Iraq could apply anywhere around the world.
01:11:50.460Those have to be much tighter than Congress has done.
01:11:56.720They've used general language for a reason.
01:11:58.860They want this cup to pass from their lips.
01:12:01.520But to the extent that they're willing to use congressional authority, we have to make sure that they use it more judiciously and to be more concrete in this language.
01:12:11.960You were just talking to me about, you know, you don't want to speak for the founders.
01:12:32.400It has to memorize, unlike regular AI, you know, chat GPT or whatever.
01:12:39.140It doesn't memorize everything because it can't memorize that much.
01:12:42.040We are now approaching a petabyte of documents, their writings, everything that influenced them.
01:12:50.580And from that day, not somebody a hundred years from now saying this is what it meant, just their actual writings and the books and things that we know influenced them.
01:13:10.000And I have asked a few people to test it before we unleash it to the population.
01:13:18.360We have created a few things, and I'd love to send you a George AI where it's George, based on their writings alone, talking in today's language about how he or the founders would look at war.
01:13:36.580And I would love to get your opinion on, you know, just the whole thing ethically in the first place.
01:13:43.040But also, as we add more things, it's so important to me that we don't ever say, I mean, there's going to be a big warning label on this one that goes out today.
01:13:52.500This does not imply he is the founders would have been for or against the action in Iran.
01:13:59.840This is just trying to get people to think, how did the founders think of things based only on their own writing?
01:14:09.580The use of AI like that, if it is guarded and has no influence except for their original words, is that a good thing or a bad thing if it's policed and taken care of?
01:14:25.520No, I think that, look, AI is here to stay.
01:14:28.480And, by the way, I do love the limitation, because my students will tell you I've never felt comfortable outside the 18th and 19th centuries.
01:14:37.540But the funny thing is, in Rage in the Republic, I talk about AI and how AI, in combination with robotics, is going to create a huge challenge to our republic in the 21st century,
01:14:52.700a challenge that we have to be prepared for, including what is likely to be a massive loss of jobs.
01:14:58.600We've already seen just a couple of days ago, you had one of the founders of social media say that he's laying off almost half of his workforce in his new company because of AI.
01:15:12.980We've never faced that, of a large population of unemployed, potentially unemployable people, which is what I talk about in the book.
01:15:22.720And I do believe the solution is going to be what I call liberty-enhancing economy, that is to still remain firm on our market orientation in the system.
01:15:33.320But AI is here to stay, and one of the things that the book cautions against is the most likely response of Congress and politicians,
01:15:43.220which is to subsidize failing industries, try to preserve jobs that are not going to come back,
01:15:50.180instead of being more nimble and shifting with the new technology.
01:15:54.800Wasn't it Hamilton that, we just talked about this the other day, I think it was Hamilton that talked about a form of UBI, in a way.
01:16:06.320No, it was Milton Friedman, I know that, but there was another one that was...
01:16:17.880That kind of flirted, yeah, Thomas Payne, that flirted with, you know, kind of a national, you know, gift to every citizen, et cetera, et cetera.
01:16:27.280I mean, they, these ideas are not new.
01:16:30.040Now it's becoming vital that we figure this one out.
01:16:46.080And Rage in the Republic actually talks about UBI, Milton Friedman, but also Thomas Payne.
01:16:52.300You're absolutely right that this goes back to the foundations of the Republic, at least that period.
01:17:00.200The cautionary note that I include in Rage in the Republic is we cannot be a kept citizenry.
01:17:07.600That is, we, we cannot accept UBI so that a large percentage of our citizens are basically live on the subsistence, subsistence that is, that is supplied by the government.
01:17:19.860Our Republic was not designed for that.
01:17:24.520Explain why that's so dangerous, Jonathan.
01:17:26.880Because it's going to change, you know, one of the differences with Rage in the Republic and some other books is I'm more concerned about, less the economic, as much as the political impact of AI and robotics.
01:17:38.800If we have a UBI for a large percentage of our population, it changes the relationship of citizens to the state.
01:17:46.440Our republic is based on a fierce sense of individuality and independence.
01:17:51.860You know, this is not just the 250th anniversary of our independence.
01:17:57.000It's the 250th anniversary of the publication of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.
01:18:06.700They recognized his economic theory based on a market system as perfect for their political theory.
01:18:14.280They knew that unless people were economically independent, they would never truly be free.
01:18:20.100And so that's what I talk about in Rage in the Republic, is that we cannot create this kept citizenry model.
01:18:30.860We also can't allow for the creation of sort of arts and crafts population, where the government just pays for us to blow glass and make pots.
01:18:40.320And that's going to affect how citizens view the relationship to the state in a way that is going to undermine our republic.
01:18:53.380I know you're an optimistic guy, but I mean, there has to be times in, you know, especially when you're researching.
01:18:59.560This book takes the stories of the founders and you understand them, and then you tie them to the things that are going on today to show a, not necessarily a new problem, but a new age.
01:19:12.860And we have to deal with these things now.
01:19:15.660There had to be times that you're like, I don't know if we're going to make it.
01:19:20.000You know, there are times where you have doubts.
01:19:22.500I talk about in the book, after I go through the French Revolution, and I then move to the, to looking forward.
01:19:29.400And I start that second half by saying that when I was finishing my chapter on the French Revolution, all of a sudden I started to hear guillotine, guillotine, guillotine.
01:19:40.240And I had this moment of confusion, like I was being pulled into my work.
01:19:45.340And I realized that this was coming from outside my office at the law school.
01:19:50.660There was a pro-Palestinian demonstration going on, and they had a guillotine.
01:19:56.140And I sat there in sort of disbelief, but there was that moment of doubt.
01:22:22.840Simply Safe is a customizable whole home security system backed by 24 seven monitoring agents who can act when you can't even active guard outdoor protection.
01:23:43.660Maybe a big chunk of your day just opened up and you no longer have any excuse whatsoever not to actually go to the gym.
01:23:49.880And yet the scale barely moves for you or it moves for a minute and then it creeps right back.
01:23:54.820It's usually when people assume the problem is discipline.
01:23:57.760But a lot of the times it can be biology.
01:24:00.340When your blood sugar isn't stable, your body keeps nudging you to eat, to snack, to store energy instead of burn it.
01:24:07.780And you can fight that willpower for a while, but usually you wind up failing in the end.
01:24:10.960Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition was developed to support your metabolism in a smarter way.
01:24:16.540It's a doctor supplement formulated with research ingredients that help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, support fat being used for energy, and reduce appetite cravings.
01:24:27.280So instead of feeling like you're battling your own system every day, you're actually supporting it.
01:24:33.860It's not dropping a few pounds before vacation necessarily.
01:24:36.980It's about people who really have a need and a desire to lose some weight, keep it off for a long period of time instead of starting all over again.
01:24:45.720So you can get started right now with 20% off.

01:26:05.860And there's a great story that's really, I mean, verifies with facts and figures, the monologue I gave you yesterday, where I said, if you're looking at this Iranian thing and you're only looking at Iran, you're missing the bigger vision that of what Donald Trump is trying to do.
01:28:41.740I would say egotistical enough, but better word, maybe it's confident enough to believe you got it, but also humble enough to go, yeah, but am I sure I've talked to everybody I should?
01:28:55.720I mean, this is a game-changing development that could go any way.
01:29:01.420We just should all not play politics with it.
01:29:07.300We should just pray for everybody involved, including us.
01:29:54.580Anyway, we'll get into all of that here, but I have some really good news.
01:29:59.680An update on the event that we're doing at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on May 2nd.
01:30:07.480This is going to be such an epic, epic moment.
01:30:11.660And, you know, Ellis Island, people came to America and came through Ellis Island because America gives you a chance to be who you really are.
01:30:21.860It gives you a chance to forget all of the lies of your past, all of the mistakes of your past, all of the things that everybody said.
01:30:30.820Oh, well, you know, in my family, I will always be, to my sisters, their younger, stinky brother.
01:30:36.720And that's the way I'm treated, because it's my family.
01:30:39.640And I can never break that with my sisters.
01:30:42.360I'm always the younger, stinky brother.
01:37:08.280Roger, at first, the contestant started coming in slowly and I was a little worried.
01:37:15.320I don't know if you've seen the last batch that's come in over the last few days.
01:37:19.340But there are, I mean, from kids who are 15 years old to this, I don't even know how old she is, but mom of four, you know, mom that is also a, you know, started her own business and everything else, not a professional singer.
01:37:36.820To somebody who has done some professional singing, all the whole range and Roger, you are going to be able to, I mean, you're going to, you're going to change somebody's life when they're finished with you and they're singing there.
01:37:51.340I think it's going to be game changing for them.
01:39:22.760Most of them are connecting with the song in French.
01:39:25.660So they must, these people, I'd have to know because they sing it so well, they must have spoken French, um, to begin with.
01:39:33.420I don't know, but they all say the minute I heard this song, it connected with me so deeply that it's just, it's part of me.
01:39:43.360Almost all of them are saying something like that.
01:39:46.880Um, and that's how, you know, it's really going to be good.
01:39:49.220Cause it's not just somebody just singing a song.
01:39:51.240It is, it is going to be people who are connected deeply to the message.
01:39:57.320I mean, I would have a hard time singing it, not just bursting out in tears, standing in front of the Statue of Liberty, singing some of these things, you know.
01:40:02.840The first time I heard the songs, the first time I heard the songs, so beautiful, I was moved.
01:40:08.960I think we're getting more people who speak French because people don't always like to compete and, and, and they're, they have special skill sets.
01:40:17.500So they're hoping that the, their ability to speak French moves them up the ladder, but we're, yes, looking for someone that speaks French, but not just that.
01:40:27.620We're really looking for someone who has a passion to sing and wants to showcase it.
01:40:31.340But it's really weird because the ones that I think the songs that I thought would be the easiest are the, is the song that is more contemporary.
01:40:41.160Um, you know, they came for the hope and it's very contemporary, almost a, almost a, in some ways, almost a Phineas kind of sound.
01:40:49.900Um, and, uh, and it's weird because that's the one, especially with men, we're not getting as many submissions.
01:40:58.380Sarah, do you have a little bit of, of that song?
01:42:19.880What do you have to lose other than the opportunity to be a part of a historic event?
01:42:26.260You'll have a video at the end that your, your grandkids will watch, you know, 50 years from now, your grandkids will watch and go, wow, you did that?
01:42:38.180Believe me, I know, cause I've been working with the parks department, the rules, uh, of what you can and cannot do on that island to those two islands is phenomenal.
01:42:48.000So believe me, you'll have an opportunity.
01:43:12.320I also want to give a shout out to the thousands of comments we've already gotten from people that have seen the documentary and they're, they're so loving.
01:43:21.660People are saying they're either crying, happy tears all the way through it, or they're laughing while they're crying, happy tears all the way through it.
01:43:30.180So, so thanks to, thanks to, to your family, to your community for, for embracing the documentary,
01:43:35.780understanding that we're just trying to help people find their voice and, and use it to make a better life.
01:43:42.780Did you get the note that somebody said, I have a, I think their child had cerebral palsy and they wanted to talk to you about helping them.
01:43:52.780Um, and I just, I, I read this and I thought, oh my gosh, that would be so great if we could help.
01:45:11.820Well, trucks, if they ever stop running or shelves got stripped faster than they can be restocked, you find out quickly whether you have a built-in buffer or just a habit.
01:45:21.100My Patriot supply helps you with that built-in buffer, long-term food designed to store for years and be ready when you need it.
01:45:28.800They have helped millions of Americans prepare.
01:45:31.300And with over 90,000 five-star reviews, they have earned the trust from that comes from actually delivering on that.
01:45:36.940Right now, you can get their best-selling three-month emergency food supply for $100 off.
01:45:42.320My Patriot supply rarely makes deals on things.
01:45:45.680These are really good programs and really good deals.
01:46:01.660So earlier today, as I was talking with the insiders, while I'm doing this today, I also have to monitor something that is happening as we're recording the string section for this event.
01:46:31.660It's going to be a, I think it's a 57-piece orchestra, and the strings were being recorded over in Prague today during the show.
01:46:40.320The only time we could get it done was during the show.
01:46:43.040And so I've been kind of monitoring back and forth and listening to that.
01:46:47.940Usually, I'm, you know, that's all I'm doing is just paying attention to that.
01:46:51.400But luckily, I have a great staff that has been working on that since 3 o'clock this morning.
01:46:55.380Um, and, uh, this, this, this music is just going to be epic, just epic.
01:47:01.400And this event is going to be remarkable.
01:47:05.040Um, but before we get to that on May, March 19th, we are doing a show and I'll explain this to you next because this one is market down on your calendar.
01:47:20.720Um, and I think it's actually, we've been talking about, I think it's important enough to gather friends, like-minded friends around because you need to understand it's called exposing the Islamic blueprint for conquering the West.
01:47:34.700And there is a plan of conquering the West and it is well underway.
01:47:41.220Did you hear Jonathan Turley say last hour, he thinks that the EU is going to implode in epic fashion.
01:47:50.260Now, I don't know what made him say that we did.
01:47:52.620We ran out of time for me to have a follow-up question on that, but that's quite a statement.
01:47:56.620And I believe that epic fashion is because the barbarians are in the gates and there is a plan and it is happening here in America faster than people realize.
01:48:09.820Um, and today is election day in Texas.
01:48:12.740You have a chance to vote and say, I want this on the ballot, banning of Sharia law in Texas.
01:48:20.540If you haven't voted in Texas, go out and vote today.
01:48:23.980Ban Sharia law in Texas, but this special is coming on March 19th.
01:48:30.780I'll tell you about it and show you some of the things we found in just a second.
01:48:34.000First, the International Fellowship, what has been called Operation Epic Fury by the United States and Operation Lion's Roar by the Israeli government has triggered a retaliatory missile and drone attack all over the Middle East.
01:48:50.520First, sirens are sounding, I don't know if you saw last night, I was watching Fox News and whoever the guy is that is there on top of one of the buildings.
01:48:59.100Every time he's there, he's like, look at the number of alerts that I have on my phone and the alarm, no matter when he's on, it always seems sirens go off.
01:49:08.460And I think yesterday, people in Tel Aviv were in the shelter, in and out of the shelter, like 37 times.
01:50:39.180We're hiring a new security team just for the DDoS attacks.
01:50:43.780None of your information or anything is at stake on this.
01:50:46.380It is just shutting us down so people can't connect online to us.
01:50:51.160Somebody is trying to shut our voice down.
01:50:55.840And we just appreciate if you happen to be an insider and a Torch member, we thank you for putting up with those DDoS when you try to sign on and you can't connect to the server.
01:51:05.920That is because somebody, it's a very large operation.
01:51:10.680Our people believe that it is probably nation-state directed.
01:51:19.320I personally wonder if it's nation-state.
01:51:22.700I could see other people that would really like to shut us down that have a lot of money on this.
01:51:29.360But thank you for subscribing and thanks for having patience through all this.
01:51:33.320We will get to the bottom of it if we can.
01:51:35.900It may be something that only the government can deal with.
01:51:39.560But thank you for joining us and being part of the community and the family at glenbeck.com slash torch.
01:51:45.840I want to talk to you a little bit about this special that we're doing on March 19th.
01:51:49.880This is something, please put this down on your calendar.
01:51:51.920This is so important, our special, you know, I used to do these Wednesday night specials and we would do them once a week and a couple of things graded on me.
01:52:02.380One, sometimes there would be news and, you know, we'd have to wait a week to get you the information when really you needed the information right away.
01:52:11.900Um, the other was, um, a week is not enough time to do something of real deep, deep, uh, work and understanding and exposing.
01:52:23.140So when I moved to the torch, one of the things that I wanted to do was my old contract, uh, required me to do one show a week.
01:52:31.960Um, and I want to do them when we're ready.
01:52:34.600Um, and so I have guaranteed that there will be at least four documentaries that we will be doing these deep dives into different topics.
01:52:42.740And the first one is coming on March 19th.
01:52:45.360Um, and it's exposing the Islamic blueprint for the conquering of the West.
01:52:50.220Um, we have hired a couple of research teams, uh, to help us along with my research team.
01:52:57.060And we have been digging now for months and finding things.
01:53:01.100Um, I want to play just, just some of the voices that are here in our own country and around the West that are telling you what they're doing, telling you what is in store for us if we don't wake up.
01:53:17.400Um, so when you see the special, you will then recognize, okay, all right, those are the people that are doing it, but here's the actual blueprint.
01:53:28.180This is not just, uh, you know, a crazy guy saying something.
01:53:31.400So let me play a couple of, uh, voices here.
01:53:35.560Uh, Sarah, if you would go to, uh, cut number seven, these are three different professors from Virginia public universities, Virginia talking about taking down the U S through violence.
01:53:52.440Listen, listen, in the moment that you grab the gun, like Fanon says, you're no, you're, you're, you're no longer oppressed.
01:54:04.180Just to say that in the class, my students' heads explode, right?
01:54:09.940To tell them about violence, you know, as a revolutionary tool, as an, as sometimes a revolutionary essential.
01:54:19.800We actually need to crash the U S settler state, which has incredible reverberations and literally strangles the tentacles, um, that are reaching into the Israeli state.
01:54:32.580So we must stand with the armed resistance and work right now to end this impunity by disrupting the flow of weapons to Zionists.
01:54:39.420Cause trust the armed resistance will defeat Zionism if it was open battlefield.
01:54:44.400Yeah, I've been humbled since October 7th, particularly being in community with folks, particularly when you're someone who has been doing this work.
01:55:32.700And it just usually so huge that we have to cut it and like by about nine tenths.
01:55:38.580Um, and I don't know if we get to in this special, are we going to be able to get to the fact that Islam and, uh, and socialist Marxists are the key.
01:55:51.860They always, this is what happened in Iran in 1979.
01:56:36.360Not only do we cover it, we actually whittle it down very specifically to certain administrations and show where it was happening in certain administrations.
01:56:44.360But we even go beyond the red-green alliance.
01:56:47.540We also talk about, we have intercepted foreign intelligence communications that talk about how certain Islamist groups were reaching out directly to, I don't want to give away too much, other groups within the United States, not particularly left-wing, specifically to try to get them and enlist them in their cause.
01:57:10.040This is, Glenn, this has been going on since the early 90s, at least.
01:57:43.500So, so you know, we have already informed the White House and other agencies of things that we have found in this special, and because we're not waiting to make sure that the good guys know what we have found.
01:58:01.100We just want to put it together in a cogent package for you to be able to share it with your friends, because like it or not, gang, we are in World War III.
01:58:10.820We are, and I really hope, because I believe, ah, what the hell, I really believe that the 12ers in particular, those who are running Iran, and many of the really diehard Islamists are going to be used as the army of the Antichrist.
01:58:41.720I could be wrong, obviously, and everybody can disagree with me, but I think the tools and the people that would be needed for an end-of-days-style war are on the table.
01:58:58.940Whether that means it's going to happen that way or not, the better case scenario is we're going to be fighting World War III, because this is, as you will see in this special here in a couple of weeks, this is coordinated.
01:59:15.260You know, how dare you say replacement theory?
01:59:24.020And if you want to just go along with your own demise and have your children wearing burkas or having their heads cut off because they won't, just keep going down the road you're going.
01:59:37.680Just pay no attention to it, but I'm telling you, we are in the beginning of World War III or the end of days, but it doesn't have to be this way if we wake up and turn it around.
01:59:54.300Europe is not going to be able to do it.
01:59:57.080Did you notice in all of the backing of, you know, they all said, hey, we're, you know, we, we agree with the United States and, you know, but they never really backed this with Iran.
02:00:09.740That's because they have to placate their own population.
02:00:12.880They know they have an Islamist problem in their own nations.
02:00:17.220You know, Germany tried to, uh, uh, you know, build a bigger army.
02:00:21.900They're worried about building a bigger army because they've got nothing but young men from foreign countries and they don't want to arm those young men.
02:00:37.840Uh, and it is a well thought out plan.
02:00:41.300So mark this down on your calendar, uh, cause you're going to get the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth on March 19th, exposing the Islamic blueprint for the conqueror.
02:00:51.900Spring of the West, uh, you will get that, uh, on that night.
02:00:57.580A bonus is when the special ends, we're actually not going to end.
02:01:02.520We're going to keep Jason, um, one of our researchers, Ryan Morrow, who's an expert on extremism.
