00:00:12.600 There is one thing most people don't even realize can be stolen, and that is the title of your home.

00:00:18.960 Criminals can forge documents. They can file them online. They can make it look like your property is theirs.

00:00:24.680 And from there, they can try to take out loans against it, and you may not know anything about it until the collection agencies and the bank notices start showing up, and then the sheriff.

00:00:34.020 By then, you're the one trying to prove you didn't do something that was wrong. You didn't even know it was happening.

00:01:12.920 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

00:01:18.920 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth, because you deserve it.

00:01:24.120 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

00:01:36.180 to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

00:01:39.120 This isn't a podcast. This is a movement.

00:01:42.120 And you're part of it. A big part of it.

00:01:43.840 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

00:01:50.660 Together, we'll make a difference.

00:01:52.780 And thanks for standing with us.

00:01:54.040 Now let's get to work.

00:01:54.980 Spark the flame

00:02:16.800 Pass it on

00:02:19.380 Crank the game

00:02:21.880 Glenn Beck is on

00:02:24.380 Glenn Beck is on

00:02:26.380 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:02:43.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:47.360 Glenn Beck is on

00:02:49.160 My gosh, there is so much happening today.

00:02:55.400 I don't even know where to begin.

00:02:56.920 You know, there was that Foreign Service officer that went berserk, started shooting people.

00:03:06.360 Sorry, not shooting people, stabbing people.

00:03:08.380 We're going to give you the story on that.

00:03:10.880 We've kind of self-embargoed this story.

00:03:13.140 We have some insider information that we want to share with you.

00:03:16.340 We just want one more check to verify that it is real.

00:03:19.820 But it will explain an awful lot on what is going on and raise even more questions.

00:03:25.360 Also, we have more on what is happening overnight, what the allies now are doing.

00:03:36.400 This is expanding, which is both good and bad.

00:03:43.220 But we just have to take it one day at a time.

00:03:47.120 I also, if I have time, I would really like to debunk this nonsense that, you know,

00:03:53.680 that Donald Trump is being led by the nose by Benjamin Netanyahu. 0.96

00:03:58.240 This is one of the most ridiculous, tell me, tell me who can lead Donald Trump by a ring in his nose. 0.96

00:04:06.600 Give me the one person on the planet that you think that man answers to. 0.96

00:04:11.900 For the love of Pete, can we stop this?

00:04:16.740 See, Christy Noem is up on Capitol Hill talking about Coast Guard, what they are facing,

00:04:22.460 also what DHS is facing.

00:04:24.320 It's really important that the Democrats release the funding so DHS can do their job.

00:04:30.860 Also, the amazing video for the F-15 pilots over Kuwait,

00:04:35.520 which I can't even imagine coming down and seeing people running towards me.

00:04:39.600 If you're an American in the Middle East, you have no idea what you're facing.

00:04:44.760 It turned out to be, you know, good.

00:04:47.900 Also, we had a cyber attack on us yesterday.

00:04:51.740 I want to get into that just a little bit because there is something going on.

00:04:56.360 We're having to hire a security firm now, a forensic cyber security firm,

00:05:02.960 because we can only track it to the last jump.

00:05:08.100 And that last jump is telling us exactly where this is coming from.

00:05:12.040 But we have had now two serious cyber attacks on Torch and GlennBeck.com.

00:05:18.320 And they have both coincided with big days about Iran.

00:05:23.120 So we have a feeling we know what it's about.

00:05:28.140 We just don't know who is coordinating this attack on our business.

00:05:31.880 And we'll give you more on that coming up.

00:05:33.460 But thank you if you are a supporter of GlennBeck.com and Torch.

00:05:37.220 Thank you for putting up with the cyber attack a couple of weeks ago and the cyber attack that we had yesterday.

00:05:42.700 Somebody is trying to destroy us.

00:05:45.880 And it seems to be related to, I guess, my support for freedom in Iran, I guess, maybe.

00:05:55.960 We'll talk about that and so much more in 60 seconds.

00:05:59.100 First, let me tell you about Rapid Radios.

00:06:00.600 If you've ever tried to put together a big, complex project with a lot of people involved,

00:06:05.200 you know keeping everybody in communication with the other is, I mean, it's like herding cats.

00:06:10.520 You got people in different locations, different teams handling different pieces, delivering.

00:06:15.160 You know, deliveries are arriving.

00:06:17.240 You know, they're shifting.

00:06:18.280 Somebody's always like, who has eyes on that?

00:06:20.580 Did anybody call so-and-so?

00:06:22.100 It can get really frustrating and mistakes will happen.

00:06:24.500 Texts get missed.

00:06:25.300 Calls go to voicemail.

00:06:26.540 Group threads turn into confusion.

00:06:28.480 Every little miscommunication costs time.

00:06:31.800 Rapid Radios cut through all of that.

00:06:34.040 No apps, no complex setup, no programming.

00:06:36.720 You take them out of the box, you turn them on, and you're all connected.

00:06:39.940 Instant push-to-talk communication with nationwide coverage that lets your team coordinate in real time.

00:06:45.920 So whether you're running a job site, a large event, you know, a property, a family trip,

00:06:52.120 clear communication is not a luxury.

00:06:54.360 It is the difference between chaos and control.

00:06:56.580 So I want you to go to rapidradios.com.

00:06:59.820 See the new RAD-1.

00:07:00.940 It's officially live.

00:07:02.320 Rapidradios.com.

00:07:03.780 Get radio that's built for real life.

00:07:06.740 Communication now been redefined.

00:07:09.380 Rapidradios.com.

00:07:11.720 Let me bring Jason in.

00:07:13.760 Jason, the war is expanding.

00:07:16.020 England and France have...

00:07:19.720 They're now sending...

00:07:21.580 France, I think, is sending an aircraft carrier.

00:07:23.760 Who knew they had one?

00:07:24.720 England is now getting involved as well.

00:07:29.980 Why is this expanding?

00:07:32.980 It's expanding primarily, I think, because you apparently were exactly correct pretty much in everything.

00:07:39.960 And this is from Politico, actually.

00:07:42.460 Not in so many words.

00:07:43.740 I don't think they said Glenn Beck, but basically they did.

00:07:46.860 Right.

00:07:47.420 Okay.

00:07:47.780 But 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?

00:08:07.760 Why is England and France?

00:08:09.760 Why are they involved?

00:08:11.080 Is it because they're seeing the bigger picture?

00:08:12.660 So, I think that's where it's leading to.

00:08:16.400 The bigger picture is definitely where it's leading to eventually.

00:08:19.240 And it behooves Iran to make this a larger conflict because that makes it end quicker, in their view. 0.93

00:08:26.740 To do that, they're striking at multiple different bases that they say enabled us and or Israel to attack them.

00:08:34.920 So, they're looking at places where we might have taken off or sent weapons.

00:08:38.120 So, they're looking at, specifically for the Brits, they targeted the Royal Air Force Base in Cyprus.

00:08:44.620 That is now why the Brits are sending over a destroyer.

00:08:47.760 A lot of people are criticizing the Brits for doing this way too late.

00:08:51.060 But it kind of shows you, maybe NATO and maybe our supposed allies. 0.86

00:08:56.340 Yeah, maybe it's just useless. 0.99

00:08:57.880 It's useless. 0.79

00:08:58.660 Look, here's the thing about Europe, and you need to understand this. 0.91

00:09:01.640 If you're going to take on Islam, NATO is not going to be an ally. 1.00

00:09:07.080 They're not.

00:09:07.560 They have to placate because they are overrun with Islamists, not just Muslims, Islamists. 1.00

00:09:17.740 And they know this means trouble on the streets.

00:09:21.440 And so, they're not going to be able to take clear stance.

00:09:25.720 They're just not.

00:09:26.580 It's why NATO, we got to get out of NATO.

00:09:28.580 We just have to get out of NATO.

00:09:29.800 But stay with me.

00:09:31.900 By the way, if you're a new listener or haven't joined us for a while, thank you for checking in with us.

00:09:37.320 Jason Buttrill is my chief researcher.

00:09:39.960 He's been chief researcher for over a decade, I think, now.

00:09:44.040 And he does something called the Torch Insider Show, which happens during this show.

00:09:50.100 When I go into break and reset for the radio show, he's giving more information that I just don't have time to fit into the show.

00:09:57.880 So, you get a really full look of the day's news.

00:10:00.720 But stay with me here, Jason, because I want to go through this Politico article.

00:10:04.980 And maybe you can help go through some of this.

00:10:07.580 I'm just going to read the article.

00:10:08.960 President Donald Trump's latest attack on Iran takes a big economic bite out of one of America's chief rivals, China.

00:10:17.420 I told you yesterday that if you didn't understand the big picture, you're not going to.

00:10:23.780 Everybody was arguing about whether we should go into Iran or not and what this means for Iran, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:10:29.320 And I said, the Iranian part of it is very important.

00:10:33.140 But if you don't understand crink, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, that that axis power is called crink.

00:10:43.380 If 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.

00:10:53.240 Now, listen to what Politico said.

00:10:55.200 Now, 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.

00:11:05.000 Although China buys oil from all nations across the Middle East, Iran was second only to Saudi Arabia as its supplier last year.

00:11:13.960 Almost all of Iran's exported oil and more than half of Venezuela's went to China last year,

00:11:21.940 which remained one of the only purchasers of goods from the too heavily sanctioned nation.

00:11:26.740 The 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.

00:11:40.820 By the way, they're very green.

00:11:42.140 Did 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.

00:11:54.200 It's not about Venezuela.

00:11:55.760 It's about taking this hemisphere and kicking Russia and China out. 1.00

00:12:01.540 I told you on that day, Cuba is going to fall.

00:12:05.000 They're not going to get the Russian support.

00:12:07.660 It's going to fall because he's taking this hemisphere back. 1.00

00:12:11.740 Donald Trump is, and this is going to hurt them when it comes to oil.

00:12:18.040 Then I told you last week, did you see what happened with India? 1.00

00:12:22.300 India was going after the shadow fleet. 0.77

00:12:25.540 What is the shadow fleet?

00:12:27.480 Those are all of the oil tankers that, um, that are out, that are not supposed to be out.

00:12:33.820 That are, um, uh, taking sanctioned oil and shipping it over to China.

00:12:41.260 Well, India is now going after the, the shadow fleet. 0.98

00:12:47.060 Yes.

00:12:47.620 As of last week, he has taken the eye out of bricks.

00:12:52.720 Bricks was Brazil, Russia, India, uh, Chile. 0.85

00:12:58.160 No, what was the other one?

00:12:59.040 China.

00:12:59.480 And, uh, I don't know.

00:13:01.180 Uh, anyway, the, but they were the ones that were coming up and saying, we're going to have

00:13:05.380 a secondary monetary system.

00:13:08.340 We're going to have a new bricks dollar that will compete against the U S dollar.

00:13:13.720 Well, India was the one who came up with that. 0.84

00:13:16.720 India last week has switched sides and they're coming over with us.

00:13:21.860 So India is going after the shadow fleet. 0.60

00:13:24.980 Um, we shut down Venezuela and now we're shutting down, uh, we're shutting down Iran and their 1.00

00:13:34.620 oil.

00:13:34.920 That's 17%.

00:13:36.740 What is the one thing that we cannot happen?

00:13:40.880 God cannot have happened here in the United States, especially if you want to be, um, uh,

00:13:47.760 strong with AI.

00:13:50.600 What is it?

00:13:51.420 You can't lose energy.

00:13:55.620 You have to have the energy to be able to fuel the processing centers for AI.

00:14:02.200 They're losing 17% of all of their oil.

00:14:06.840 That's remarkably bad for China.

00:14:10.320 Now, so, you know, that is going to make China more aggressive. 0.74

00:14:14.780 It's also going to make Russia more aggressive, possibly North Korea, more aggressive. 0.62

00:14:21.120 However, they are not doing anything to help Iran right now.

00:14:27.280 Why?

00:14:27.900 Because Iran is saying we're going to shut down the Straits of Hormuz.

00:14:32.120 You can't shut down the Straits of Hormuz.

00:14:34.500 If you're China, you cannot afford that because you just lost 17% of your oil.

00:14:40.260 If you shut down the Straits of Hormuz, you lose all the oil from Saudi Arabia and the

00:14:45.440 UAE and Oman.

00:14:47.420 You lose all of it.

00:14:48.840 They cannot afford to have that happen.

00:14:53.300 That's why China is not going to get involved as we take out the Iranian Navy because we want 1.00

00:15:01.140 it to be open as well.

00:15:03.680 So China, strangely, China is on the same side of the United States when it comes to Russia.

00:15:11.080 I'm sorry, when it comes to Iran closing down the Straits of Hormuz.

00:15:15.060 This is a remarkable, remarkable thing.

00:15:19.980 Brent crude oil began trading opening on Sunday, $81 a barrel.

00:15:26.220 That's a 12% jump from last week's closing price.

00:15:32.260 OPEC says they're going to boost oil production starting in April by 206,000 barrels a day.

00:15:39.340 I wrote down, yeah, so you know, they're going to increase 2006 barrels a day.

00:15:45.820 So 5 billion barrels, 5 billion barrels a day are coming from, uh, Iraq, UAE, Oman, and

00:15:58.240 Saudi Arabia to China through the Straits of Hormuz, 5 million barrels a day.

00:16:07.800 So when they say we're going to, we're going to increase by 206,000 barrels a day, that's

00:16:15.240 nothing.

00:16:16.080 That is absolutely nothing.

00:16:18.040 Jason, can you take me through some of these charts?

00:16:19.880 I can barely see them.

00:16:21.100 My, my screen is way too small here.

00:16:23.740 Yeah, sure.

00:16:24.140 Um, producer Matt, you want to throw this up here really quick.

00:16:26.160 That's a, or they might have a better version of that.

00:16:28.020 Oh yeah, that's, that's probably the better one over at the, the regular stream.

00:16:32.480 Yeah, you've got 1.2 million coming from Iraq, 395,000 from Kuwait, 1.5 million from Saudi

00:16:39.480 Arabia that goes on Qatar, UAE, Oman, all of this effectively stops.

00:16:45.540 And as you pointed out, the IRGC pretty much effectively closed the Straits of Hormuz or

00:16:50.820 in their eyes, they said any tankers going through will be fired upon.

00:16:53.980 Um, we're going to do our best to stop that.

00:16:55.800 And it hasn't stopped all traffic coming out of the Straits of Hormuz, but this has always

00:16:59.760 been Iran's big ace in the hole. 0.95

00:17:01.960 And you can see what they're doing specifically with China, as you're pointing out, because

00:17:06.520 the strategy is to shut the Straits down and whatever conflict is happening, that will

00:17:12.160 get enough international support to say, guys, enough, stop it.

00:17:16.640 There is too much pain on the rest of the world.

00:17:18.720 You need to stop whatever conflict you're in.

00:17:20.900 That's Iran's strategy here. 1.00

00:17:22.760 Specifically, it's a big signal to China to get involved.

00:17:26.240 They want China involved.

00:17:27.560 They want diplomatic, economic.

00:17:29.020 Like, uh, I guess they would love military as well, but that's not going to happen.

00:17:34.140 But they're looking for some kind of intervention to happen from China.

00:17:38.140 But what is there?

00:17:39.260 I mean, how could they possibly say we're going to mine?

00:17:42.000 Cause that's what they're talking about.

00:17:43.020 The, the, the, the straight of Hormuz is very, very narrow.

00:17:46.220 It's like this little elbow.

00:17:47.860 And so it's very, very narrow.

00:17:49.820 Um, and they want to mine that, that whole, uh, straight right there.

00:17:57.060 How is China going to be supportive of something like that?

00:18:00.820 They cannot have the Straits mind.

00:18:03.000 We are saying, let's take out all of the, the Iranian Navy. 1.00

00:18:08.380 So they can't mine the Straits of Hormuz. 0.81

00:18:11.560 Cause we agree with China that has got to remain open.

00:18:16.160 I'll ask for your answer here in 60 seconds.

00:18:18.200 First, let me take a quick break.

00:18:19.440 Tell you about rush tax.

00:18:20.520 Here's something that's kind of scary.

00:18:21.860 The most expensive tax mistake is the one you didn't know you made.

00:18:25.500 You know, it's the, the line item that you caught and fixed.

00:18:28.700 It's the form that you have filed incorrectly three years ago.

00:18:32.040 You didn't even realize there was a problem until the letter starts showing up penalties,

00:18:35.780 interest, legal language that feels like it was written in another language.

00:18:39.140 And suddenly you're not just dealing with a small error.

00:18:41.360 You're dealing with a federal agency has the power to levy accounts, garnish wages,

00:18:46.120 take everything over.

00:18:47.460 This is where a rush tax resolution steps in.

00:18:51.160 They know how to read the notices.

00:18:52.820 They know how to file the right paperwork.

00:18:54.520 They know how to pause collections, how to negotiate realistic arrangements.

00:18:57.600 So you can move forward.

00:18:59.100 I just got an email in from, uh, one of our listeners owns a small company.

00:19:03.700 They, they had to make a choice.

00:19:05.380 I'm either going to keep the doors open or I'm going to pay my taxes.

00:19:08.040 They didn't pay the taxes and they kept the doors open.

00:19:11.040 Now the IRS stepped in and the guy doesn't know what to do.

00:19:14.080 I mean, it's what so many businesses have faced.

00:19:16.540 You don't know what to do.

00:19:17.640 He called a tax, uh, resolution rush tax resolution.

00:19:22.140 They took care of it.

00:19:23.280 They negotiated everything.

00:19:24.440 Don't delay on any of these things, please.

00:19:26.820 Just hire the experts, rush tax resolution.com.

00:19:30.200 You can call them now at rush tax resolution.com or 877-554 rush 877-554-7874.

00:19:39.800 More on Iran and China in just a second.

00:19:42.640 Stand by.

00:19:43.680 10 seconds.

00:19:44.060 We have so many things that we are, uh, got our fingers in today.

00:19:59.180 Uh, we're going to bring you up to speed on, um, stand by.

00:20:05.040 There's just a lot of breaking stuff happening.

00:20:06.840 Um, all right, let me go back to Jason.

00:20:09.080 Jason, how is China?

00:20:12.380 Why would China support Iran in this?

00:20:16.320 What is Iran's thinking?

00:20:18.420 Well, China want to mine the straight. 1.00

00:20:21.380 Yeah.

00:20:22.140 So that's going to be it.

00:20:24.100 I, I, I, I, I, I see the Iranian regime as desperate at this point.

00:20:28.400 Any kind of intervention they're looking for, that's what they would be hoping for.

00:20:31.600 Whether that's diplomatic through the UN, that's going to go nowhere, um, through economic that probably will go nowhere.

00:20:39.100 China doesn't, it doesn't have too many options here.

00:20:41.680 And they've been very, very reluctant to do anything besides just providing radars and service to their defense.

00:20:46.960 That's, that's, that's pretty much as far as how they have, how they have.

00:20:50.600 That wasn't helpful.

00:20:51.500 Yeah, that was not, that was not too helpful.

00:20:53.640 Not helpful for Venezuela or, uh, Iran.

00:20:56.480 Not helpful.

00:20:57.020 Thank you, China.

00:20:57.840 Yeah, right.

00:20:58.440 But so I, I, I get their strategy because that's been their strategy probably since 1979.

00:21:05.300 That's what they're going to hope for, but that's not what they're going to get from China.

00:21:08.860 I 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. 0.92

00:21:17.520 You've already talked about Venezuela, um, multiple other areas like Panama, which directly, uh, influences China or hurts China.

00:21:25.800 But 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.

00:21:41.080 We're seeing the Trump administration look at it is a brilliant strategic move all happening at once.

00:21:47.560 And as you pointed out, much larger, much larger.

00:21:51.380 I, I have to tell you, Jason, I said this yesterday.

00:21:53.960 I, I spent the weekend looking at all of this and seeing the larger picture that I think he's playing for. 0.97

00:21:59.320 And I thought I could never be president of the United States because I wouldn't have the balls to do it. 0.78

00:22:03.140 I 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. 0.95

00:22:17.120 I mean, this is the biggest move.

00:22:19.540 I think, you know, everybody says when, when Ronald Reagan said, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

00:22:24.760 And then he sat in the negotiations and said with Gorbachev, I'm not negotiating.

00:22:30.300 I'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.

00:22:41.320 Everybody said that was dangerous.

00:22:43.800 Not like this. 0.78

00:22:45.180 This is the ballsiest thing I think I've seen a president do maybe in my lifetime.

00:22:50.720 Would you agree with that?

00:22:51.900 Oh, 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. 0.96

00:23:12.100 This is more like the cold war.

00:23:13.400 This is more like the cold war where go after interests all around the world, not direct confrontation with the big enemy.

00:23:19.580 It's, it's amazing.

00:23:20.520 All right.

00:23:22.100 We're going to get into more on this.

00:23:24.320 Also the cyber attack that happened yesterday.

00:23:27.000 We'll talk about that and so much more with you and the insiders.

00:23:31.320 Next.

00:23:31.640 First, let me tell you about American financing.

00:23:33.640 NMLS 1-823-34 NMLS consumeraccess.org.

00:23:36.780 APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

00:23:40.560 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

00:23:44.140 You ever have that moment where you look over your finances and think, what the hell is happening?

00:23:51.340 You know, we were doing fine.

00:23:52.860 And then all of a sudden we're not doing fine.

00:23:55.680 What do we do?

00:23:58.240 American financing can help.

00:23:59.960 You know, you did the right things.

00:24:01.420 You worked hard.

00:24:01.960 You took responsibility.

00:24:02.880 You paid the bills.

00:24:03.780 And a lot of times the culprit isn't lack of effort.

00:24:06.380 Okay.

00:24:06.880 It's high interest debt that is quietly eating away at your momentum.

00:24:10.380 The credit cards at 20 something percent loans stacked on top of each other payments that keep you treading water.

00:24:15.920 Instead of moving forward, this is where American financing can help you their salary, their, their employee owned, um, and their mortgage consultants.

00:24:24.920 And they focus on what makes sense for you, not on commissions because they're not getting commissions.

00:24:29.700 You 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.

00:24:38.660 If you feel like you're behind it, you probably are.

00:24:41.620 And it's, it just may mean that your structure needs to change.

00:24:44.700 No upfront fees to find out if you qualify, just talk to them, see if they can help American financing, 800-906-2440.

00:24:52.400 That's 800-906-2440.

00:24:54.960 It's American financing.net.

00:25:10.300 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:25:12.120 Thank you so much for listening.

00:25:13.080 Trying to give you a bigger picture of what is going on.

00:25:16.620 Everybody else is talking about Iran and everything else.

00:25:19.140 And, um, and I, you know, while that is really important, that is not the story.

00:25:23.180 Iran is not the story.

00:25:24.580 The bigger picture is what is happening all around the world.

00:25:27.860 The whole world is being reshuffled.

00:25:30.060 Um, what the UN and the W E F and everybody else took 30 years to put together.

00:25:36.840 Donald Trump is, has taken the last 13 months and he is redesigning everything himself, destroying that framework.

00:25:45.660 So 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?

00:25:54.340 How does the future of America work?

00:25:56.380 How do we still lead the world or how are we at least even competitive?

00:26:00.960 Um, instead of just decline, decline, decline, he is reshaping everything.

00:26:06.120 And you may not like it.

00:26:07.620 You may not agree with it.

00:26:09.000 It is very, very dangerous, but I do believe it is our only chance.

00:26:13.540 Um, because if you don't like this, honestly, if you don't like this, can I ask you what alternative is there?

00:26:21.880 Kick the can down the road, continue on decline.

00:26:26.780 Because we have been talking about these problems since 1979 and every single president has said, this cannot continue.

00:26:37.540 This has to stop.

00:26:39.120 Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, yada, yada, yada.

00:26:42.220 And quite honestly, I, I dismissed the whole nuclear weapon talk.

00:26:46.600 It 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.

00:26:56.780 There that's, I'm not going to, you will not get my support based on that.

00:27:01.220 You 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.

00:27:09.180 This was the last moment we had.

00:27:11.440 Cause I've heard that over and over and over again, prove it to me.

00:27:15.880 And then I'll play that game, but I'm not playing that game, uh, here.

00:27:20.100 We've been burned too many times.

00:27:22.380 Um, but there are other things that are going on and the world is changing.

00:27:25.840 And for instance, Lebanon, let me bring, uh, Jason Buttrell in again, Jason, Lebanon.

00:27:32.660 I mean, Lebanon has really been controlled by Hezbollah for a very long time.

00:27:38.700 Lebanon used to be a Christian country, used to be very, very safe.

00:27:42.300 It was a great country.

00:27:43.580 Um, 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. 0.98

00:27:54.700 And they have never gone against Hezbollah because Hezbollah was so strong.

00:28:00.480 Lebanon came out yesterday.

00:28:01.980 And if I would have said this a year ago, people would have said, no way, that's crazy.

00:28:06.560 They came out and said, Lebanon, I mean, uh, Hezbollah stand down.

00:28:11.940 We're not tolerating this anymore.

00:28:14.960 What does that tell you?

00:28:18.160 Tells me that Iranians influence spread out all over the middle East has really diminished.

00:28:24.400 And 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. 0.88

00:28:36.600 Just absolutely nuts.

00:28:37.500 But 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.

00:28:51.680 So just wild.

00:28:52.920 But the, uh, the, the, the, the Lebanon completely would have been a different country if not for the Iranians. 1.00

00:29:00.280 Iranians 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.

00:29:14.840 Hezbollah was in control of that country.

00:29:16.700 It is no longer, there's still a threat.

00:29:18.780 And that's what Israel is, is, is, is, uh, is addressing now.

00:29:22.920 But this is also going to be a threat because this was never addressed in the Obama administration.

00:29:26.600 This is when we were partly while we were screaming at them, why are you doing this deal?

00:29:30.700 Because 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. 0.98

00:29:41.640 But this is carbon copied all over the Middle East.

00:29:45.000 Look at Iraq next. 1.00

00:29:46.800 Look very, very closely.

00:29:48.200 The prime minister of Iraq.

00:29:49.640 Iraq makes me really nervous. 1.00

00:29:51.080 Really nervous.

00:29:51.920 Now, uh, prime minister Al-Maliki, who basically handed after the Iraq war over to the Iranians, he is now getting back into politics.

00:30:00.320 He now wants to run Iraq again.

00:30:01.900 Big time red flag.

00:30:04.300 Um, watch that closely because a lot of those, uh, Iranian militias have home bases right there in Iraq.

00:30:09.980 So while they're leaving, if this happens and a lot of the IRGC looks to run, they'll go right to Iraq.

00:30:15.920 So bear that in mind and keep, keep an eye.

00:30:18.920 Iran, do we have an update on that?

00:30:20.300 Is it an important update?

00:30:21.180 Hang on.

00:30:21.400 We just got an update.

00:30:22.800 Uh, the remaining, uh, leadership have just been struck again by the United States.

00:30:27.960 No, it's not by the United States.

00:30:29.820 Overnight, the Israeli Air Force struck a lands Iran's leadership complex.

00:30:34.320 The IDF says around 100 fighter jets dropped over 250 bombs.

00:30:39.640 The 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.

00:30:53.640 This is interesting because, Jason, I thought we got most of them.

00:30:56.740 And 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.

00:31:08.120 So what does this mean, Jason?

00:31:11.000 So 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.

00:31:21.920 And they, they are implementing that as we speak.

00:31:25.280 Um, 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.

00:31:37.240 So they're hardliners.

00:31:38.800 They're, they're, they're, they're very much down for the cause.

00:31:41.880 So that, that, that is going to take a while.

00:31:44.380 Possibility that we get somebody worse than we had?

00:31:47.060 Oh, a hundred percent.

00:31:48.320 Yeah.

00:31:48.620 A hundred, a hundred percent.

00:31:50.340 It is full of those kinds of people within the clerical regime.

00:31:54.580 So yeah, that's.

00:31:55.600 Well, just keep having meetings.

00:31:57.040 I hope they just keep having meetings.

00:31:59.120 By the way.

00:31:59.460 Keep gathering in one spot.

00:32:00.460 If I would be like, Hey, we have a, even if it was like, Hey, it's a parent teacher meeting.

00:32:05.560 I'd be like, I'm not going, I'm not going to any meetings right now in Iran.

00:32:11.080 Or I might get all my teeth removed. 0.98

00:32:12.940 Yeah.

00:32:13.080 Yeah.

00:32:13.480 I 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.

00:32:26.900 I'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.

00:32:36.860 Imagine adding more AI into this.

00:32:40.500 There is no place on God's green earth.

00:32:43.800 Any human can hide anymore. 1.00

00:32:45.720 If, if a country as powerful as ours, once you dead, you will be dead. 0.99

00:32:53.700 And that is shocking. 0.96

00:32:54.900 Shocking, uh, Jason, we had a couple of things going on.

00:32:59.500 We were looking for Osama bin Laden for a long time.

00:33:02.120 We found him.

00:33:03.060 Finally, Obama took, you remember this? 0.99

00:33:05.200 Obama took a year to decide, go ahead and kill him or get him. 0.97

00:33:09.960 Um, a year.

00:33:10.860 He said it was the hardest decision he ever had to make.

00:33:13.340 Donald Trump was told, what was it?

00:33:16.060 Friday.

00:33:16.840 Hey, we know of a meeting.

00:33:18.400 He's all going to be there.

00:33:19.540 Everybody's going to be there. 1.00

00:33:20.400 He immediately said, yeah, send the planes, kill him. 0.99

00:33:23.120 I mean, he didn't hesitate. 0.79

00:33:26.000 But what I really want to talk about is, do you think with the technology that we have

00:33:32.120 today that is being used here, do you think we would have found Osama bin Laden quickly

00:33:37.680 and killed him quickly?

00:33:38.800 Possibly. 0.79

00:33:41.120 Possibly.

00:33:41.760 The issue with Osama bin Laden was the heavily infiltrated nature of the Pakistani intelligence

00:33:49.120 services.

00:33:50.180 And I think that when you have a nation state like that, that is being manipulated and guarding,

00:33:55.600 like the Pakistanis are not allies, no matter how many times we cut deals or whatever.

00:34:00.040 I know it's a total shocker, but I mean, I felt really dirty.

00:34:05.120 I don't know if I've ever told this story on the air.

00:34:06.760 I felt really weird.

00:34:08.120 Um, who was it?

00:34:09.320 That was the head of the Pakistan, uh, head of Pakistan, the prime minister of Pakistan

00:34:14.800 when we were pulling out of Afghanistan and we get a call cause we could not get anyone

00:34:21.380 out of Afghanistan.

00:34:22.780 The United States was not allowing anybody to cross the borders.

00:34:27.460 Okay.

00:34:28.300 So we had Pakistan sitting there and we're like, we're not going to be able to get through 1.00

00:34:33.000 Pakistan.

00:34:33.860 And somebody said, let me call the prime minister of Pakistan.

00:34:37.920 See if, see if we can get anybody through.

00:34:40.280 And I'm like, yeah, right. 0.99

00:34:41.800 And they'll all be rounded up and killed on the other side of the border.

00:34:44.680 Uh, no, the guy said, he said, he calls me back and he says, Glenn, um, he'll help us. 0.89

00:34:53.440 The prime minister will help us, but only if he talks to you.

00:34:57.400 And I'm like me, what the hell?

00:34:59.560 I mean, how does he even know who I am?

00:35:01.120 What are you talking about?

00:35:02.040 Talks to me.

00:35:03.140 And he was, he knew he was being targeted by his own people.

00:35:07.540 And he said, listen, I'm going to help your people out.

00:35:10.960 I'm going to help get your people out.

00:35:12.560 But will you at least put a good word in for me with your friends on Capitol Hill?

00:35:19.740 When all of this comes down to at least say, Hey, he was helpful on getting our people out.

00:35:26.340 And I said, I have no juice, but sure.

00:35:29.920 I'll give it a whirl.

00:35:31.560 And he let, he let, uh, he got our people out.

00:35:36.100 I remember this.

00:35:38.040 You had to write a letter.

00:35:39.660 Yeah.

00:35:39.900 That's what I remember that.

00:35:40.700 Yeah.

00:35:40.820 Yeah.

00:35:40.960 And I was pretty uncomfortable with it.

00:35:43.380 I was.

00:35:43.940 You were.

00:35:45.460 Well, and it kind of became a bit of an international incident.

00:35:49.440 It did.

00:35:50.120 Yes.

00:35:50.960 That's died down.

00:35:52.360 I don't remember that.

00:35:52.800 Right now, Pakistan's got Taliban to deal with.

00:35:55.260 So, you know, yeah, that was a weird time.

00:35:57.540 It was a really weird time.

00:35:58.780 I wonder if we still have that letter.

00:35:59.980 I'd love to see that letter.

00:36:00.960 Because I remember, I remember wording everything really carefully.

00:36:04.560 Like I am very uncomfortable with this, but if you're just asking me to go, Hey, he did

00:36:13.460 us a solid once camp out for anything else.

00:36:16.280 You left out an important detail.

00:36:17.740 He was a fan.

00:36:19.060 Oh, that's right.

00:36:19.920 He was.

00:36:21.020 I don't know how he got the Glenn Beck program in Pakistan, but yeah.

00:36:24.520 We're in like, watching Torch membership, we're in 147 different countries now.

00:36:32.380 147 different countries.

00:36:34.180 It is incredible.

00:36:36.260 It's incredible.

00:36:36.840 Which one do you think the cyber attacks are originating from?

00:36:40.240 Um, my guess here, my guess here, um, we have just in case you don't know, we've had

00:36:51.540 two massive cyber attacks.

00:36:53.380 And by the way, so, you know, you're every bit of information is secure because we don't

00:36:58.700 hold any information.

00:37:00.280 We don't hold anything about you, your credit card or anything else that is all done by somebody

00:37:06.940 else.

00:37:07.320 And it's super, super secure.

00:37:09.140 We don't want responsibility for any of that.

00:37:12.080 We don't have responsibility for any of that because it has to be bank level grade security.

00:37:19.160 So, but we, what we're getting is denial of service attacks.

00:37:23.020 So when you try to log on, you can't log on to glennbeck.com.

00:37:27.500 And I always know we're doing something right when it seems like Satan puts up roadblocks.

00:37:36.100 You know what I mean?

00:37:37.000 Always is always happen.

00:37:38.340 But Jason, you know, this cause you've been around me for so long.

00:37:41.100 Um, it it's always this way, something really, really bad or tough or danger happens right

00:37:47.740 before we do something really big.

00:37:49.380 So we have the crown prince of Iran on and we're just going to talk to him about what the people

00:37:57.640 in Iran are saying and what is the plan and, you know, Hey, support the people of Iran to rise up

00:38:04.540 themselves.

00:38:05.040 This is before, you know, war and, you know, they're on the streets.

00:38:08.920 Well, the day he's on, we have a massive, uh, denial of service attack and our people say that

00:38:18.120 it, it was had to be state level because it was so massive and so complex, so sophisticated.

00:38:26.520 So we fix it.

00:38:29.080 We make sure they can't do that again.

00:38:31.120 Uh, and then yesterday, surprise, surprise on another huge day to stand up and say, Hey,

00:38:37.680 the people of Iran could be free.

00:38:39.680 We were hit by another denial of service attack.

00:38:43.660 Um, and again, we don't know who it is.

00:38:46.580 Apparently we've hired some, some people and they have tracked it to what is it?

00:38:51.220 I'm sorry.

00:38:51.960 I'm so green at this, but it's like the last jump.

00:38:54.700 We can take it to the last jump.

00:38:57.080 Um, and that last jump is, you know, we need probably the government to, you know, get in

00:39:04.020 involved in on that.

00:39:05.240 But, uh, it is, it is somebody who is absolutely, uh, pro, uh, Islamist, uh, pro, um, Iran or

00:39:23.320 Palestine.

00:39:23.880 I think, I think, I don't know who it is, but we thank you for being a member of glenbeck.com

00:41:16.080 Glenn Beck.

00:41:17.220 If you have a family, you know, you want to make choices that are healthy.

00:41:30.600 And a lot of times you look at what your kids might be drinking out of like a, you know,

00:41:34.860 one of those juice boxes or something.

00:41:36.420 You don't even know what's going in there.

00:41:38.260 And then you try to get them to drink some water and you realize you don't really know

00:41:42.220 what's going in there either.

00:41:43.240 That's a bizarre, uh, revelation for a parent.

00:41:47.360 You're trying to help your kids, uh, and you're trying to get them to do something healthy.

00:41:51.300 And then you realize you don't really even know what they're drinking.

00:41:53.700 This is why my family uses Cove Pure.

00:41:56.000 It's a countertop water purifier certified to remove up to 99.9% of impurities.

00:42:02.000 I mean, that includes everything from, you know, fluoride to PFAS to, uh, fertilizer

00:42:06.680 runoff.

00:42:07.400 Ugh, that's, that's disgusting.

00:42:09.880 Pharmaceuticals.

00:42:10.740 I'll take mine, that in pill form.

00:42:12.520 I don't really want it in my water.

00:42:14.220 Um, the first thing I noticed with Cove Pure is you'll notice the taste, you know, it's what

00:42:19.340 water is supposed to taste like, like pure and clean without the aftertaste.

00:42:23.540 You actually want more water and it's easy as well.

00:42:26.620 No drilling, no plumbers, no other hassle.

00:42:28.520 You just kind of fill it and you plug it in.

00:42:30.100 Best part is you can choose any temperature, hot or cold with one tap.

00:42:33.440 If you want fluoride, you've got the toothpaste, you get the mouthwash.

00:42:36.420 You don't have to deal with all this stuff that you don't want maybe in your water.

00:42:39.940 So don't wait for the government to sort out your pure water.

00:42:42.720 Do it yourself.

00:43:00.100 Jonathan Turley joins me in just a few minutes.

00:43:10.620 Stand by, uh, one of the smartest constitutionalists out there.

00:43:14.500 I want to talk to him about the War Powers Act.

00:43:18.140 Um, this is an absolute show.

00:43:20.000 I believe in the War Powers Act, but what's happening in Congress is a show and I'm sick

00:43:25.500 and tired of it when our people are at stake, stop, you know, having, uh, you know, a little

00:43:31.840 show for America, actually do something.

00:43:35.560 And we're going to talk to Jonathan Turley about that.

00:43:37.800 Also his great book on the founding of America as we celebrate America's 250.

00:43:43.160 Jonathan Turley coming up next.

00:43:44.600 You know, it's strange about back pain.

00:43:57.320 It usually doesn't show up with blaring sirens and crashing symbols.

00:44:00.960 It just sort of becomes a part of your daily routine.

00:44:03.740 And before you realize you've totally changed, you sit a little more carefully than you used

00:44:08.040 to, you avoid certain movements, you get up slower, you plan your day around what your

00:44:12.480 spine might decide to do.

00:44:14.600 Um, that, that's, that's not the way it's supposed to be.

00:44:19.140 Here's the reality.

00:44:20.440 The chirp contour contour is designed for that exact kind of everyday wear and tear long hours

00:45:24.400 Glenn Beck is on.

00:45:26.480 Glenn Beck is on.

00:45:28.840 Na, na, na, na.

00:45:31.360 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:45:33.620 Na, na, na, na.

00:45:37.780 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:45:45.460 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:49.320 Glenn Beck is on.

00:45:50.720 Hello, America.

00:45:53.760 We have some breaking news.

00:45:56.240 Israel has just announced that they have taken out the next level of leadership of Iran.

00:46:09.600 You know, just like we took out the supreme leader and, you know, what was it, 40 people.

00:46:13.380 They were just having a meeting of who are we going to elect to be the next supreme leader,

00:46:19.320 and they were all together. 0.81

00:46:20.160 It was like a, you know, it was like the conclave at the Vatican, and Israel just killed them all. 0.93

00:46:27.180 So, you know, and apparently that had, you know, our second and third choice of who was going to lead the country.

00:46:34.580 Well, those people are gone.

00:46:35.680 So, Israel is not messing around, and nor would I, honestly, with 12ers. 1.00

00:46:45.140 I'm going to get into that here in a minute.

00:46:47.240 But I also want to talk to you about a declaration of war and the War Powers Act.

00:46:52.860 Jonathan Turley, he has written a great book called Rage and the Republic, which, if you want to understand the founding of our nation,

00:47:03.260 you want to understand what they were really trying to do, how they did it, and see the parallels in today's world,

00:47:12.800 it is going to blow your mind how closely aligned things were back then as they are now.

00:47:19.160 All this stuff that you've ever heard of, oh, no, they were in lockstep, they were in agreement, they were all the, uh-uh, uh-uh.

00:47:25.700 Yeah, it was as dicey as it is now.

00:47:29.460 Um, and Rage and Republic is his new book, which is perfect for America's 250.

00:47:36.000 We're going to talk to him about that, specifically the War Powers Act.

00:47:41.020 How would they have viewed the War Powers Act?

00:47:44.980 Um, and I like Jonathan because, you know, in a world today where everybody's like,

00:47:51.880 you've got to agree with me 100% or you're a traitor. 0.97

00:47:55.700 You know how I know that's bullcrap? 0.99

00:47:58.240 I know that's bullcrap because I'm a fan of the Constitution, 0.55

00:48:01.300 and I can't tell you how many times the Constitution says,

00:48:07.060 I can't do things that I want to do.

00:48:10.260 You know what I mean?

00:48:11.020 And I don't say, the Constitution, well, we've got to read it a different way.

00:48:14.240 I'm like, nope, that's what the Constitution says.

00:48:16.080 So when somebody who is reading the Constitution, you know they're legit,

00:48:21.280 when half the time you want to carry them on your shoulders, 0.91

00:48:24.520 and the other half you're like, oh, crap, can't we, shh, say that quieter. 0.82

00:48:29.180 Because that's the way the Constitution is, that's the way Jonathan Turley is.

00:48:32.360 So we're going to talk to him about the War Powers Act.

00:48:34.860 How would the founders have looked at this situation in Iran with him in 60 seconds?

00:48:39.220 First, let me tell you about real estate agents, I trust.com.

00:48:42.160 This is my company.

00:48:43.160 I started this, I don't know, 10, 15 years ago.

00:48:45.600 Our real estate agents, we started with the 500 best real estate agents,

00:48:49.160 according to the Wall Street Journal, and I learned from them.

00:48:51.800 And I said, why are you the best?

00:48:54.160 What made you the best?

00:48:55.440 What is it about your practices that are different from, you know, everybody else?

00:49:01.740 Well, part of it is they take it seriously.

00:49:04.460 This is their full-time gig, and they've been doing it for a long time.

00:49:07.980 But they also understand advertising and how much that has changed.

00:49:12.840 They understand the market.

00:49:13.840 And I learned from them, and then we started going out and looking for people that had those same qualities

00:49:19.060 so I could build a company that is a free service to you,

00:49:22.820 that I could recommend somebody that could get your house sold on time for the most amount of money

00:49:27.800 and help you get a great deal on your next house, whether you're moving across the street or across the country.

00:49:33.020 Our agents have had the two best years in their careers in the last two years.

00:49:39.000 How is that possible in this market?

00:49:40.900 Because these guys know how to get the job done.

00:49:44.920 They know how to sell your house in a tough market and know how to get you into the right house at the right price.

00:49:51.700 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:49:52.880 Just let us know where you're moving to and from.

00:49:54.980 We'll help you find the right agent.

00:49:57.460 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:49:59.620 Professor Tourley.

00:50:02.080 Welcome, sir.

00:50:02.800 Hi, Glenn.

00:50:03.080 How are you?

00:50:03.620 How are you?

00:50:05.200 I am great.

00:50:06.300 It is great to have you on.

00:50:07.620 Your book, Rage in the Republic, is fabulous.

00:50:11.360 It's just really, really good.

00:50:14.320 How would the founders have looked at the situation in Iran?

00:50:20.840 Well, they would not have looked kindly upon it.

00:50:23.760 You know, the framers divided the power over war between Congress and the president.

00:50:31.440 And so under Article 2, Section 2, the president is declared the commander-in-chief.

00:50:39.280 But under Article 1, Section 8, Congress alone may declare war.

00:50:44.360 So the framers wanted to make it difficult to go to war.

00:50:48.560 They didn't like foreign entanglements. 0.98

00:50:50.920 And they divided the power accordingly.

00:50:53.360 The problem is that we haven't had a declared war since World War II.

00:50:59.560 And the Congress has largely evaded its responsibility by passing resolutions, the authorization of the use of force.

00:51:09.080 And the courts have largely deferred to the political branches.

00:51:13.280 So in looking at this issue, you know, part of the question is, is the president acting according to established authority?

00:51:23.000 The answer is, yeah.

00:51:25.140 I mean, in the sense of the interpretation, the modern interpretation of the Constitution, not quite if you look at the original intent.

00:51:33.760 But there's no question that he is using the authority used by past Democratic presidents, including President Barack Obama.

00:51:45.540 I mean, I've actually been somewhat amazed by the comments of people like Nancy Pelosi, Senator Blumenthal.

00:51:55.860 I represented members of Congress opposing the Libyan war, unilaterally launched by Barack Obama.

00:52:03.760 There was no claim of a threat against the United States, imminent or otherwise.

00:52:08.920 It was a regime change attack on the capital city, on the Libyan military.

00:52:14.920 We lost that case.

00:52:16.780 But at the time, Pelosi said no authorization is required for President Obama.

00:52:22.420 And Blumenthal actually praised the unilateral attack.

00:52:26.440 Both of them have come out this week expressing horror at the thought that a president can commit this type of attack.

00:52:33.760 So here's what I want to ask you.

00:52:37.820 You know, it's my understanding.

00:52:39.460 I know I'm oversimplifying this, but it is my understanding under current the current reading of war powers.

00:52:45.920 The president has to file the paperwork and say to Congress, I've notified you early.

00:52:51.900 I'm filing this paperwork.

00:52:53.540 We are engaged now in hostilities.

00:52:57.280 And he has 60 days.

00:52:59.360 Right.

00:53:00.100 But he can then say at the end of 60 days, I need another 30.

00:53:04.640 So he can actually go 90 days before they actually have to do anything.

00:53:08.680 But the problem has been not a single president has ever filed the paperwork.

00:53:14.160 And Congress doesn't insist on the filing of the paperwork.

00:53:16.500 So the clock never starts.

00:53:19.100 Correct.

00:53:20.800 Well, that is a part of the problem.

00:53:22.900 The War Powers Act has always been contested by both Democratic and Republican presidents.

00:53:27.780 Some of the restrictions on a president in carrying out these types of initial combat operations has run against the grain of Article 2.

00:53:40.260 And presidents have said, you cannot require us to go through these steps.

00:53:43.840 You have the right to declare war. 0.98

00:53:45.300 But presidents have always asserted the right to respond to what they consider to be threats to the national security.

00:53:55.220 And courts have largely deferred to presidents in that sense and deferred to Congress in taking steps.

00:54:02.420 So but taking the War Powers Act at its face, 60 days is ample, very likely, for this operation.

00:54:10.560 And 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.

00:54:29.580 The problem with that is it's a tough sounding resolution until you get to the final line.

00:54:37.180 And the final line says, nothing in this section restricts you in dealing with imminent attacks.

00:54:44.740 Well, every attack now is imminent.

00:54:47.500 Every attack we launch is preemptive.

00:54:50.140 I mean, the Iranian government is firing missiles randomly at other countries.

00:54:55.960 So the question is, what does this resolution even do?

00:54:59.500 And can't the president veto this anyway?

00:55:02.800 I mean, he could pass both the House and the Senate and then get to his desk and he can veto it, can't he?

00:55:07.960 Right. And the other thing is that it just I don't even think it will pass.

00:55:12.500 I 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.

00:55:28.980 But 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.

00:55:40.260 So 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.

00:55:59.200 And that is going to be breathtaking if the Democrats maintain that position in the middle of this conflict.

00:56:06.040 So it's so it's so it's so weird because I am, you know, I don't like the Patriot Act.

00:56:15.220 I don't like any of this stuff.

00:56:16.560 However, 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.

00:56:37.000 It's completely irresponsible to do it right now.

00:56:42.300 This the messages it sends to our enemies, the the the idea that you're just going to turn this thing off is insane.

00:56:51.560 The same thing with Department of Homeland Security.

00:56:54.400 You can't just do that at the most critical time of Homeland Security, because that's how we're our security is geared now.

00:57:02.660 You want to dismantle it.

00:57:04.060 I'm all for it.

00:57:04.800 Dismantle it.

00:57:05.720 But not now.

00:57:07.440 Is that reasonable?

00:57:08.880 Well, I think that's a fascinating thing, Glenn.

00:57:11.800 You'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.

00:57:26.660 So presidents have the right to initiate a fight.

00:57:30.140 They simply do.

00:57:31.240 If they if they judge someone threatening the country, they don't have to wait for anyone.

00:57:35.620 But 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.

00:57:47.400 And 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.

00:58:02.460 And basically, it's a choice between fight or flight.

00:58:06.780 And it says choose flight.

00:58:10.800 Jonathan, can I need to take a one minute break and then come back?

00:58:14.200 And I want to talk to you about Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary pirates and and how that all worked out.

00:58:21.600 What system did he use?

00:58:23.020 Because that turned out to be very unpopular and they stopped early, at least as I remember.

00:58:28.620 And I know you have this.

00:58:30.120 You have this down.

00:58:31.180 So can you hang for just 60 seconds?

00:58:32.880 We'll come back.

00:58:34.180 Of course.

00:58:35.580 All right.

00:58:35.960 Let me tell you about LifeLock.

00:58:37.320 Massive data leak recently exposed six point eight billion email records compiled from older breaches and stolen data collections.

00:58:46.680 OK, researchers found that three billion of those addresses are now vulnerable.

00:58:51.520 Many of those linked to expose passwords.

00:58:54.720 Cyber criminals can use that information to send really convincing phishing scams.

00:58:59.300 Now reset accounts, even spread malware, all built around data that may have been just sitting out there for years.

00:59:06.600 It is a reminder that cyber crime is not some distant possibility.

00:59:10.260 It is a constant background risk.

00:59:12.280 You need somebody in something watching over the threats.

00:59:14.880 You can't see LifeLock monitors millions of data points every single second for risk risk to your identity.

00:59:22.100 And 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.

00:59:29.460 And if you do become a victim, they have a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist, a whole team that will work to fix it.

00:59:35.980 Guaranteed.

00:59:48.160 Back in 10 seconds with Jonathan Durley.

00:59:50.380 There are a couple of books that I know written about the founding of our nation that are critical.

01:00:07.400 One 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.

01:00:19.560 In the real way, not somebody looking back 200 years, but understanding them from their time period, from their perspective and their time period.

01:00:30.020 It's Rage and the Republic by Jonathan Turley.

01:00:33.260 Pick it up.

01:00:34.240 It just went on sale a couple of weeks ago, and it is really, really good.

01:00:38.080 Jonathan, talk to me about the Barbary pirates.

01:00:40.900 Thomas Jefferson said this was our first foreign war.

01:00:43.740 And 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. 0.78

01:00:56.920 And we either finish this now, or it'll be our first foreign war. 0.73

01:01:02.620 And if we don't finish it, it will be our last foreign war at some point, because they're not going to give up. 1.00

01:01:08.340 How did that happen?

01:01:10.080 What?

01:01:10.720 Go ahead.

01:01:12.320 No, you're quite right.

01:01:14.180 I 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.

01:01:27.780 It actually voted to appropriate 80, I'm sorry, $800,000, which is almost $20 million.

01:01:38.500 Right.

01:01:39.340 Wasn't it?

01:01:39.740 To release American prisoners.

01:01:42.100 It was breathtaking.

01:01:44.180 And Jefferson and others began to balk and say, look, we can't do that.

01:01:50.380 George Washington also expressed shock that we were going to pay tribute.

01:01:56.060 And negotiations, and this is very similar to the Iranians, it was clear from negotiations that these pirates were going to stay pirates. 0.62

01:02:04.580 You know, they just basically got you to pay appropriate money for ransom.

01:02:10.540 And so Jefferson decided to act on his own and sent a fleet to engage the Barbary pirates.

01:02:20.880 Now, 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.

01:02:32.460 Congress passed a law that appropriated support for Jefferson to protect American shipping with the Barbary pirates in mind.

01:02:44.440 So it was, yeah, at the very beginning, Congress was adopting these type of murky halfway measures rather than declaring a formal war.

01:02:56.380 They have always been spineless weasels.

01:02:58.780 It's amazing.

01:02:59.640 No, I think that's true.

01:03:03.980 Never really the current.

01:03:06.180 Yeah.

01:03:06.520 Yeah.

01:03:06.860 And, you know, ultimately, you know, it still remained fluid even after the peace treaty with these pirates.

01:03:17.840 But, you know, ultimately, I think Jefferson was right in the sense that Congress's approach was truly crazy. 0.97

01:03:27.860 I mean, the idea that you're going to appropriate a tribute or ransom to pirates is just moronic. 0.96

01:03:37.160 And so Jefferson would have none of it. 0.81

01:03:39.920 But 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.

01:03:57.420 And that was their starting position in negotiation.

01:04:00.620 But that is not the way to start this negotiation.

01:04:04.120 Not with Donald Trump.

01:04:05.340 Yeah.

01:04:05.820 Yeah, exactly.

01:04:06.480 And so I think it's very similar to the Barbary pirates who are saying, you know, don't mess with us.

01:04:12.640 We're going to because this is our area.

01:04:14.380 Everyone has to pay us tribute.

01:04:17.980 So 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.

01:04:27.820 Would 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.

01:04:41.760 I 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?

01:04:51.080 Well, I only have to disagree with you, Glenn, on one point.

01:04:54.980 I've always maintained that only I can speak for the framers, particularly James Madison.

01:04:59.900 But my students will tell you that I that I've asserted that authority repeatedly.

01:05:06.820 But I know we all try to talk for the framers.

01:05:10.900 Of course, you're absolutely right.

01:05:12.620 I know.

01:05:12.880 I know one quite knows what would happen if we were able to sort of bring them through time.

01:05:18.580 I think that some figures would certainly support this.

01:05:23.320 I think that Jefferson, ironically, could well support Trump in this.

01:05:28.660 People like Alexander Hamilton, I think, would definitely support this action.

01:05:33.920 I think George Washington would probably support the action.

01:05:38.560 I think that others like Mason would not support it and argue that you have to.

01:05:46.600 Congress has got to step up, put on the big boy pants and actually declare war.

01:05:53.760 Part of the issue here, to give the other side of this, is that many people have said, look, it's the fact is.

01:06:01.420 Jonathan, Jonathan, I've got hang on.

01:06:03.140 I've only got about 15 seconds.

01:06:05.140 I'm going to have to ask you to hold on if you can.

01:06:07.300 And we'll get into that.

01:06:09.160 I really appreciate your time.

01:06:11.560 Jonathan Turley is with us.

01:06:13.820 The name of the book is Rage and the Republic.

01:06:16.920 Get it.

01:06:17.560 It is a great book on the founding of America.

01:06:20.340 You will understand our founders.

01:06:22.320 And he brings them to life, unlike I think many have ever done before.

01:06:27.600 Jonathan Turley, Rage and the Republic.

01:06:30.160 More in just a second.

01:06:32.200 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

01:06:33.280 Have you ever noticed how you can get used to almost anything?

01:06:36.440 A car that pulls a little to the left.

01:06:38.600 A phone with a cracked screen.

01:06:39.960 A door that sticks if you don't just lift it just right.

01:06:42.800 You don't like it, but you adjust.

01:06:44.480 You compensate.

01:06:45.380 And eventually it just becomes normal, even though it's not.

01:06:49.160 A lot of people do the same thing with pain.

01:06:51.200 They just try to get used to it.

01:06:52.360 But 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.

01:07:04.160 My question is, are you one of those people?

01:07:07.180 Relief Factor was built to go after that root issue.

01:07:10.420 It's a daily supplement designed to help your body address inflammation so you're not just managing the symptoms and hoping for the best.

01:07:16.520 Over a million people have tried Relief Factor and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more.

01:07:21.380 You've probably learned how to compensate.

01:07:23.380 Stop compensating.

01:07:24.360 Begin your three-week quick start and see what Relief Factor can do for you.

01:07:27.460 Call 800-4-RELIEF or go to ReliefFactor.com.

01:07:57.460 We are lucky enough to have Jonathan Turley on the show today.

01:08:14.920 His book is Rage and the Republic.

01:08:17.640 It is a great book to understand the founding of the nation and how our founders thought.

01:08:23.360 And Jonathan, I want to go back to where we were when we just left off a second.

01:08:28.800 You were in the middle of answering a question, but I want to kind of frame it this way.

01:08:36.020 Reading your book, knowing about the founders, looking at what the reality was back then,

01:08:43.240 we look at our founders as these giant marble statues, and they weren't.

01:08:47.960 We look at them as like they were all in lockstep.

01:08:50.580 They weren't.

01:08:51.060 In fact, they're very much.

01:08:53.880 We're having the same big government, small government, War Powers Act, the same exact arguments.

01:09:01.000 They got through it.

01:09:03.200 We're struggling to get through it.

01:09:05.520 What's the difference between us?

01:09:08.880 Well, first of all, the framers were very practical people.

01:09:12.340 In 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.

01:09:25.200 They were all about the free market.

01:09:26.640 They were about expanding American markets.

01:09:29.040 The Barbary pirates were a choke point on those markets, because all of our goods went by ship.

01:09:36.760 But that's a very interesting analogy to Iran, which is trying to close off the Strait of Hormuz.

01:09:42.900 So it's a very close comparison.

01:09:46.320 The biggest issue, I think, that the framers would be focused on today is how war has changed.

01:09:53.260 Back then, Jefferson would send off ships that would take a month to get anywhere they needed to go.

01:10:00.420 Today, in the time of ballistic missiles, the presidents can have as little as minutes.

01:10:07.620 And so there's never been any question since the forming of the republic that presidents could respond to imminent attacks under Article II.

01:10:16.160 And 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.

01:10:35.720 But then Congress will have to have the courage, if they disagree, to pass limitations on the use of that power.

01:10:42.480 It'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.

01:10:54.280 How do you think it should be written, Jonathan?

01:10:56.760 I mean, I go back and forth.

01:10:57.980 If we have Congress, they'll never do anything.

01:11:00.520 We'll all die if they had to declare everything.

01:11:04.340 You know what I mean?

01:11:04.740 We'd all be dead.

01:11:05.640 And then one of them would be like, okay, I think it's pretty popular.

01:11:08.060 We could probably vote for that now.

01:11:09.540 But I don't want to give the president a blank check.

01:11:13.640 I mean, any president, not this president, any president.

01:11:16.380 I don't want the president to have a blank check.

01:11:19.840 How should this happen?

01:11:22.480 Well, the most important thing is that if the Congress, which is clearly the case, is unwilling to go back to declarations of war,

01:11:30.100 they have got to perfect the AUMF system, this authorization of military force.

01:11:35.840 What 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.

01:11:50.460 Those have to be much tighter than Congress has done.

01:11:56.720 They've used general language for a reason.

01:11:58.860 They want this cup to pass from their lips.

01:12:01.520 But 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.

01:12:11.960 You were just talking to me about, you know, you don't want to speak for the founders.

01:12:19.160 And, boy, I don't either.

01:12:20.560 And, Jonathan, I'm working on something now that I built a proprietary AI.

01:12:29.080 And it is all blocked off.

01:12:32.400 It has to memorize, unlike regular AI, you know, chat GPT or whatever.

01:12:39.140 It doesn't memorize everything because it can't memorize that much.

01:12:42.040 We are now approaching a petabyte of documents, their writings, everything that influenced them.

01:12:50.580 And 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.

01:13:02.300 And we've put it all into this AI.

01:13:04.560 And it is remarkable.

01:13:06.800 It doesn't know anything past 1820.

01:13:10.000 And I have asked a few people to test it before we unleash it to the population.

01:13:18.360 We 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.

01:13:36.580 And I would love to get your opinion on, you know, just the whole thing ethically in the first place.

01:13:43.040 But 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.

01:13:52.500 This does not imply he is the founders would have been for or against the action in Iran.

01:13:59.840 This is just trying to get people to think, how did the founders think of things based only on their own writing?

01:14:07.880 A couple of things.

01:14:09.580 The 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?

01:14:25.520 No, I think that, look, AI is here to stay.

01:14:28.480 And, 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.

01:14:37.540 But 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,

01:14:52.700 a challenge that we have to be prepared for, including what is likely to be a massive loss of jobs.

01:14:58.600 We'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.

01:15:12.980 We've never faced that, of a large population of unemployed, potentially unemployable people, which is what I talk about in the book.

01:15:22.720 And 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.

01:15:33.320 But AI is here to stay, and one of the things that the book cautions against is the most likely response of Congress and politicians,

01:15:43.220 which is to subsidize failing industries, try to preserve jobs that are not going to come back,

01:15:50.180 instead of being more nimble and shifting with the new technology.

01:15:54.800 Wasn'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.

01:16:06.320 No, it was Milton Friedman, I know that, but there was another one that was...

01:16:09.260 Milton Friedman, yes.

01:16:10.800 Yeah, but there was another one that was, that they kind of flirted with a, was it Payne?

01:16:17.340 Thomas Payne.

01:16:17.880 That 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.

01:16:27.280 I mean, they, these ideas are not new.

01:16:30.040 Now it's becoming vital that we figure this one out.

01:16:34.100 What are we going to do?

01:16:35.180 Because now jobs and the ability to earn, it is changing.

01:16:42.060 It is going to change.

01:16:43.560 That's right.

01:16:46.080 And Rage in the Republic actually talks about UBI, Milton Friedman, but also Thomas Payne.

01:16:52.300 You're absolutely right that this goes back to the foundations of the Republic, at least that period.

01:17:00.200 The cautionary note that I include in Rage in the Republic is we cannot be a kept citizenry.

01:17:07.600 That 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.

01:17:19.280 Explain why.

01:17:19.860 Our Republic was not designed for that.

01:17:24.520 Explain why that's so dangerous, Jonathan.

01:17:26.880 Because 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.

01:17:38.800 If we have a UBI for a large percentage of our population, it changes the relationship of citizens to the state.

01:17:46.440 Our republic is based on a fierce sense of individuality and independence.

01:17:51.860 You know, this is not just the 250th anniversary of our independence.

01:17:57.000 It's the 250th anniversary of the publication of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.

01:18:02.780 And the, the founders embraced Smith.

01:18:06.700 They recognized his economic theory based on a market system as perfect for their political theory.

01:18:14.280 They knew that unless people were economically independent, they would never truly be free.

01:18:20.100 And so that's what I talk about in Rage in the Republic, is that we cannot create this kept citizenry model.

01:18:30.860 We 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.

01:18:40.320 And that's going to affect how citizens view the relationship to the state in a way that is going to undermine our republic.

01:18:49.740 Do we make it, Jonathan?

01:18:53.380 I know you're an optimistic guy, but I mean, there has to be times in, you know, especially when you're researching.

01:18:59.560 This 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.

01:19:12.860 And we have to deal with these things now.

01:19:15.660 There had to be times that you're like, I don't know if we're going to make it.

01:19:20.000 You know, there are times where you have doubts.

01:19:22.500 I talk about in the book, after I go through the French Revolution, and I then move to the, to looking forward.

01:19:29.400 And 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.

01:19:40.240 And I had this moment of confusion, like I was being pulled into my work.

01:19:45.340 And I realized that this was coming from outside my office at the law school.

01:19:50.660 There was a pro-Palestinian demonstration going on, and they had a guillotine.

01:19:56.140 And I sat there in sort of disbelief, but there was that moment of doubt.

01:20:03.000 You know, could it happen?

01:20:05.160 You know, is it possible that after everything this republic has been through, that it won't survive us?

01:20:11.780 It won't survive this century?

01:20:13.900 I think it will.

01:20:15.640 I think that we have the perfect system to not only survive, but thrive in the 21st century.

01:20:22.480 My book suggests the opposite about the EU.

01:20:24.700 I think the EU is going to collapse in a spectacular and dangerous fashion.

01:20:30.700 But we have the ability to be nimble.

01:20:34.900 But the big challenge is we have to answer a question I talk about in the book from the beginning of our republic.

01:20:41.900 There was a Frenchman named Creve Coeur who wrote under the name Farmer John.

01:20:47.300 And he wrote a book for Europe, particularly France, about this weird new nation.

01:20:54.880 And in his book, he asks, what then is this American?

01:20:59.980 And I talk about that question and ask if we can answer that today, not just who we were back then, who we are today.

01:21:10.400 If we can't answer that question, this republic will not last.

01:21:14.880 But we have to be able to remember who we were and who we are.

01:21:19.020 And if we do that, we will not just survive, but thrive in this century.

01:21:24.400 Jonathan, you always give me hope to talk to you, that, you know, there's somebody who understands it.

01:21:32.520 Your warnings about the law schools and what's happening in our law schools is chilling.

01:21:37.940 But I appreciate you ringing the bell and bringing it and rooting it to history.

01:21:41.580 Thank you so much, Jonathan.

01:21:42.540 I appreciate it.

01:21:43.120 It's always a pleasure, my friend.

01:21:44.520 Thanks for having me out.

01:21:45.300 You bet.

01:21:46.640 Jonathan Turley, Rage and the Republic is the name of the book.

01:21:51.540 You will learn a lot and you will see critical thinking in practice.

01:21:58.340 All right.

01:21:58.620 Let me talk to you about Simply Safe.

01:22:00.540 Here's something to think about.

01:22:02.040 You insure your car.

01:22:03.180 You insure your health.

01:22:04.260 You pay every single month to protect things you hope will never happen, but you protect against them.

01:22:09.900 Your home deserves the same logic.

01:22:11.980 If you're like most people, your house is your biggest asset.

01:22:14.920 It holds your families, your memories.

01:22:16.520 It holds everything.

01:22:18.040 And yet a lot of security systems react only after somebody has broken in.

01:22:21.620 It's too late.

01:22:22.840 Simply 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.

01:22:33.280 Somebody, you have a fence.

01:22:34.300 Somebody jumps your fence.

01:22:35.200 Somebody is approaching your house.

01:22:36.720 If the alarm goes off, they can actually talk to them before they even reach the house.

01:22:41.740 Say, what are you doing here?

01:22:43.260 Who are you?

01:22:44.340 You're not supposed to be here.

01:22:45.280 Police are on the way.

01:22:46.500 Okay.

01:22:46.680 That is a game changer.

01:22:48.680 They protect over 4 million people.

01:22:50.680 20 years of experience.

01:22:51.880 Just named best home security system of 2026 by U.S.

01:22:55.060 News and World Report.

01:22:56.080 They win that almost every year.

01:22:57.960 They get better and better every year.

01:23:00.840 Look, I want you to try it out.

01:23:02.520 I want you to find out all the information and get your family protected with Simply Safe.

01:23:26.700 Glenn Beck is on.

01:23:28.240 Now, there's a point in almost every weight loss attempt where you start questioning yourself.

01:23:41.080 Maybe you're eating better than you used to.

01:23:42.820 You're trying to move more.

01:23:43.660 Maybe a big chunk of your day just opened up and you no longer have any excuse whatsoever not to actually go to the gym.

01:23:49.880 And yet the scale barely moves for you or it moves for a minute and then it creeps right back.

01:23:54.820 It's usually when people assume the problem is discipline.

01:23:57.760 But a lot of the times it can be biology.

01:24:00.340 When your blood sugar isn't stable, your body keeps nudging you to eat, to snack, to store energy instead of burn it.

01:24:07.780 And you can fight that willpower for a while, but usually you wind up failing in the end.

01:24:10.960 Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition was developed to support your metabolism in a smarter way.

01:24:16.540 It'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.

01:24:27.280 So instead of feeling like you're battling your own system every day, you're actually supporting it.

01:24:32.340 Lean isn't about a crash diet.

01:24:33.860 It's not dropping a few pounds before vacation necessarily.

01:24:36.980 It'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.

01:25:06.060 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:25:22.160 Let's see.

01:25:22.980 Our live insider poll shows do you support the action in Iran 74%.

01:25:31.740 Our community page, which is just taken throughout the day, shows 80% that this is, do you believe this action is America first?

01:25:42.240 There's a lot of people that don't believe this action is America first.

01:25:46.100 And, you know, I think you can be honest about that and we can honestly disagree.

01:25:51.900 I think that I would urge those people to look at the bigger picture of crinks, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, crink. 0.96

01:26:04.100 That is the axis power.

01:26:05.860 And 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.

01:26:24.240 And that involves crink.

01:26:27.240 And there's a great story.

01:26:29.140 It's available in our show prep.

01:26:30.780 You can get that just by going to Glenn Beck.com.

01:27:34.780 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

01:27:45.320 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:27:49.260 Glenn Beck is on.

01:27:51.060 Just going looking down the list of things that I still have to talk to you about.

01:27:55.700 The Foreign Service officer that stabbed a bunch of people yesterday.

01:28:01.680 It's a really disturbing story.

01:28:03.600 I haven't talked about it.

01:28:04.560 I'm waiting for one more confirmation on something that kind of changes this story dramatically.

01:28:11.700 But I don't want to give it to you until I have just one more source to verify.

01:28:17.840 But hopefully we'll have that by the end of the hour.

01:28:21.780 Also, this war is, my gosh, it is the, this is why I could never be president.

01:28:30.600 I would never have the guts to do something this bold because I wouldn't know.

01:28:35.620 I mean, it's a really weird thing to be president of the United States.

01:28:39.080 You have to be confident enough.

01:28:41.740 I 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?

01:28:55.720 I mean, this is a game-changing development that could go any way.

01:29:01.420 We just should all not play politics with it.

01:29:07.300 We should just pray for everybody involved, including us.

01:29:11.580 This is a very dangerous time.

01:29:14.520 Pray for wisdom and clarity for everyone involved.

01:29:20.120 You know, world wars and giant wars don't start in obvious ways.

01:29:25.880 They always start with somebody making a basic miscalculation, and we should be aware of that and pray that no one miscalculates on this.

01:29:38.240 By the way, just to make it even more fun, let's bring the spiritual into it.

01:29:41.920 Blood moon on Purim.

01:29:44.040 Today is Purim, and blood moon on Purim, I guess, means the wicked will be vanquished or something.

01:29:53.260 I just hope we're not the wicked one.

01:29:54.580 Anyway, we'll get into all of that here, but I have some really good news.

01:29:59.680 An update on the event that we're doing at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on May 2nd.

01:30:07.480 This is going to be such an epic, epic moment.

01:30:11.660 And, 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.

01:30:21.860 It 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.

01:30:30.820 Oh, well, you know, in my family, I will always be, to my sisters, their younger, stinky brother.

01:30:36.720 And that's the way I'm treated, because it's my family. 0.77

01:30:39.640 And I can never break that with my sisters. 0.97

01:30:42.360 I'm always the younger, stinky brother. 0.98

01:30:44.380 Okay? 0.95

01:30:46.040 America gives you a chance to be who you want to be, not what society tells you you have to be.

01:30:54.140 And that's why people came here.

01:30:56.500 And on May 2nd, we're going to celebrate that at Ellis Island.

01:30:59.620 But we're giving three people a chance to be who they want to be, to live a dream.

01:31:06.700 Maybe they've always wanted to be a singer, but they never thought they would have the chance.

01:31:10.900 We're not only going to give you that opportunity, we are going to find three singers.

01:31:15.060 And then we're going to have you train with the best vocal expert in the world.

01:31:22.720 He has worked with everyone.

01:31:24.760 His name is Roger Love.

01:31:26.920 You may not know him, but believe me, anybody who is a high-level vocalist or a high-level actor,

01:31:34.560 they know his name because he has helped everybody.

01:31:38.140 We're going to get you into a session or two with him to have him work on your voice with you

01:31:43.560 to give you the absolute best shot of knocking it out of the park

01:31:47.600 as you're standing there looking at the Statue of Liberty

01:31:50.760 and you're covered on a global broadcast.

01:31:55.720 This happens May 2nd.

01:31:57.260 The last day to sign up is this Friday at glennbeck.com slash contest.

01:32:04.020 We'll give you all the details and I'm going to give you a sneak peek of a couple of things

01:32:08.260 that we've heard.

01:32:08.780 We've heard some really good people with Roger Love here in just a second.

01:32:12.180 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

01:32:16.160 Our sponsor, this half hour, let me look it up real quick, is Patriot Mobile.

01:32:24.180 Loyalty should run both directions.

01:32:26.040 If you're faithful to a company, you know, month after month, paying your bills, you know,

01:32:30.200 staying through the rate changes, tolerating the occasional drop call, whatever,

01:32:34.100 you think your company would at least respect your values.

01:32:36.960 But a lot of corporations don't.

01:32:39.260 And it's not just phone companies.

01:32:40.640 They just don't.

01:32:42.100 They expect, especially with phone companies, they know you're never going to make a change.

01:32:46.840 Nobody likes to change their phone service and nobody thinks it's a big deal.

01:32:50.520 But if you are somebody that doesn't necessarily want to support Planned Parenthood,

01:32:56.180 if you're with Verizon, they take a good portion of their money, which is their choice,

01:33:01.080 and they go and donate it to Planned Parenthood.

01:33:04.840 Well, that's fine for them, but I don't want my money going to Planned Parenthood.

01:33:08.580 So I don't want to do business with them.

01:33:10.900 Who can I trust?

01:33:12.280 Well, there is a phone company out there that is designed just for you.

01:33:15.060 It's called Patriot Mobile.

01:33:16.100 It is the world's only Christian conservative mobile phone company,

01:33:20.040 and they take some of their profits and they put them towards the First Amendment.

01:33:25.160 They put it towards freedom of speech and freedom of education, freedom of religion.

01:33:31.700 They fight for some of the things you fight for every day.

01:33:34.520 So when you're making a call, let that money go to work in other ways that you support.

01:33:39.620 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

01:33:41.620 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.

01:33:44.480 972-PATRIOT.

01:33:46.140 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

01:33:50.940 Mr. Roger Love, who has played a really wonderful role in my life for a long time.

01:33:57.180 We met probably 15 years ago.

01:34:00.300 We were introduced through Premier Radio Networks because I have a really weird set of vocal cords

01:34:08.160 that are pretty wussy, and I can blow them out at any time.

01:34:10.640 And he is a guy who doesn't say, no, no, whisper.

01:34:15.340 He says, don't whisper.

01:34:17.420 Let's get through this.

01:34:18.540 And I have gone from absolutely not being able to speak to full voice in 15 or 20 minutes with this guy.

01:34:25.120 And he has done it with Elton John when he was having problems and Beyonce and everybody who's anybody.

01:34:32.460 He used to help Rush Limbaugh, and he's helped everybody.

01:34:40.880 And he has become a very dear friend.

01:34:42.880 He is one of the nicest guys I know.

01:34:45.160 And we were talking last summer about something else.

01:34:47.740 And I said, you know, Roger, I'm starting something called The Torch, and one of my goals is to just show inspiration,

01:34:57.220 be able to show people making it, living their dreams, conquering things they never thought that they could conquer.

01:35:04.860 And he said, you know, I can help people who stutter.

01:35:08.780 I don't remember how we got into that, but he said, I do lots of things, and I can help people stop stuttering.

01:35:14.060 And I'm, what?

01:35:15.520 And I said, well, why don't we start a little documentary series, run about a half hour, called Find Your Voice.

01:35:21.700 And when we find somebody who you can help find themselves and walk into their real voice and change their lives, let's do that.

01:35:31.440 And so the first Find Your Voice on Torch at glenbeck.com is about a guy in Tampa who, bless his heart, man, has stuttered his whole life.

01:35:41.800 And he had a hard time finding friends, love life, everything else.

01:35:48.000 And working with Roger two days and then doing a lot of work on his own, his life changed.

01:35:54.020 And it was so cool to watch because you could see happiness and joy in his eyes by the time it was over.

01:36:02.880 He had a totally different view of life.

01:36:04.580 It was so cool.

01:36:05.520 You can see that mini doc at glenbeck.com slash torch.

01:36:08.700 It's called Find Your Voice.

01:36:09.440 But Roger joins me now.

01:36:11.380 Hello, Roger.

01:36:12.880 Good morning.

01:36:14.600 You look very handsome today.

01:36:16.740 Oh, thank you very much.

01:36:17.900 And you look, well, like it's early in the West Coast.

01:36:21.820 I mean, thanks for putting on pajamas.

01:36:23.860 No, I'm kidding.

01:36:24.180 So, Roger, you said to me when I called you up and I said, I have something that I'd love to do.

01:36:35.020 I'd love to find somebody who is not a professional singer but has always wanted to sing no matter what their age.

01:36:42.360 And I need three singers for this major event on May 2nd at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

01:36:54.500 And I said, can you, if we find some people, can you help them get there and knock it out of the park?

01:37:01.720 And you were, you're so amazing.

01:37:04.200 You're like, absolutely.

01:37:05.680 That's that.

01:37:06.220 We can do that.

01:37:07.200 When my eyes closed.

01:37:08.280 Roger, at first, the contestant started coming in slowly and I was a little worried.

01:37:15.320 I don't know if you've seen the last batch that's come in over the last few days.

01:37:19.340 But 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.

01:37:36.820 To 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.

01:37:51.340 I think it's going to be game changing for them.

01:37:54.420 Have you seen some of them?

01:37:56.260 Absolutely.

01:37:56.900 The submissions are so, they're so genuine.

01:38:00.560 These are people that, that, that have, have found their voice and, and, and, and they're, they're, they're all ages.

01:38:10.600 The, the 14, 15 year old, so, so authentic, so passionate about singing.

01:38:17.500 The mother of four who started a business, like you said, beautiful voice.

01:38:22.420 Yeah.

01:38:22.560 I'm going to tweak it.

01:38:23.560 But the bottom line is that these are people that love to sing and have already realized the importance of voice in their life.

01:38:29.360 This is an amazing opportunity.

01:38:31.020 What we are missing is we haven't had enough submissions of men.

01:38:36.820 So look, as a voice coach, I realize more women sing than men.

01:38:41.320 I don't know why that is.

01:38:43.660 Women are more, are more prone to learning, but I really want to make sure that we have enough men. 1.00

01:38:50.200 We need, we need a man who, who, who wants to showcase his voice too.

01:38:55.900 So we could definitely use more submissions of men.

01:38:59.260 Again, you don't have to be the most incredible singer on the block.

01:39:03.720 You just have to have a voice and a passion and I'll tweak it.

01:39:08.980 You have to love to sing.

01:39:10.280 You have to want to be part of something that's historic.

01:39:12.000 You know, one of the things that I, um, have found interesting is all of the submissions that I have seen so far.

01:39:20.900 And it's weird.

01:39:22.760 Most of them are connecting with the song in French.

01:39:25.660 So they must, these people, I'd have to know because they sing it so well, they must have spoken French, um, to begin with.

01:39:33.420 I 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.

01:39:43.360 Almost all of them are saying something like that.

01:39:46.880 Um, and that's how, you know, it's really going to be good.

01:39:49.220 Cause it's not just somebody just singing a song.

01:39:51.240 It is, it is going to be people who are connected deeply to the message.

01:39:57.320 I 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.

01:40:02.840 The first time I heard the songs, the first time I heard the songs, so beautiful, I was moved.

01:40:08.960 I 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.

01:40:17.500 So 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.

01:40:27.620 We're really looking for someone who has a passion to sing and wants to showcase it.

01:40:31.340 But 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.

01:40:41.160 Um, 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.

01:40:49.900 Um, and, uh, and it's weird because that's the one, especially with men, we're not getting as many submissions.

01:40:58.380 Sarah, do you have a little bit of, of that song?

01:41:00.960 Could you play a little bit of that?

01:41:02.300 Look for it real quick.

01:41:03.280 And they came for the hope.

01:41:05.620 Um, and you can hear all of the songs, um, and, and then record them.

01:41:11.760 Please don't write to us and say, Hey, I know somebody tell them this is a merit-based contest.

01:41:17.520 If they can't get on and do it themselves, then, you know, I can't help you.

01:41:23.260 They got to put in the effort and record the song, but here's a bit of it.

01:41:27.500 So, Roger, what exactly are we looking for in a man?

01:41:48.420 Is there anything that, you know, what are we looking for?

01:41:54.240 We're looking for a man that's in our family because, uh, because we want to, we want to stay within.

01:42:00.220 We want to support the people that are in our community.

01:42:03.400 And the, this, the, the female songs are a little bit harder than the male songs.

01:42:10.480 So don't shy away if you don't think that you have the, the greatest range in the world.

01:42:16.220 I just, I just say, submit yourself.

01:42:19.880 What do you have to lose other than the opportunity to be a part of a historic event?

01:42:26.260 You'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?

01:42:36.440 I mean, nobody gets this opportunity.

01:42:38.180 Believe 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.

01:42:48.000 So believe me, you'll have an opportunity.

01:42:50.780 Nobody else, uh, has Roger.

01:42:53.480 Uh, can we make a, find your voice based on this too?

01:42:56.500 When we get the contestants, we're going to start voting next week.

01:42:59.720 The, the cutoff is this Friday.

01:43:01.920 Can we make a, find your voice with you working with them?

01:43:05.440 And are you coming to New York with us?

01:43:07.280 I'm going to be there.

01:43:08.760 Of course.

01:43:09.740 Oh, good, good, good, good, good, good.

01:43:11.260 I want to be there.

01:43:12.320 I 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.

01:43:21.660 People 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.

01:43:30.180 So, so thanks to, thanks to, to your family, to your community for, for embracing the documentary,

01:43:35.780 understanding that we're just trying to help people find their voice and, and use it to make a better life.

01:43:40.840 Real quick.

01:43:41.500 I've only got about 30 seconds.

01:43:42.780 Did 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.

01:43:52.780 Um, and I just, I, I read this and I thought, oh my gosh, that would be so great if we could help.

01:43:57.300 Did you get that note?

01:43:58.620 I did that.

01:43:59.460 I'm, I don't remember if it was cerebral palsy, but there was some, some challenge and I, I totally responded saying I'm here for you.

01:44:06.300 Okay, good.

01:44:07.740 Well, if you hear back, let me know.

01:44:09.100 Cause I'd love to hear the progress on that.

01:44:10.680 Maybe we can make that a find your voice as well.

01:44:12.660 Roger love.

01:44:33.000 Please don't tell us about somebody, tell them about the contest.

01:44:38.260 They've got to actually submit, uh, and, uh, apply for it themselves.

01:44:51.060 You got it.

01:44:51.900 All right.

01:44:52.340 Let me tell you about my Patriot supply.

01:44:53.860 If your, uh, grocery store was closed for a week, you know, not forever, just a week.

01:44:58.520 Would your household notice?

01:45:00.180 Most of us live on a kind of just in time system.

01:45:04.180 You know, we don't have food.

01:45:06.120 We plan to get food.

01:45:07.200 We have a list on the fridge and, you know, we have a store that's five minutes away.

01:45:10.280 Hey, on your way home, pick this up.

01:45:21.100 My Patriot supply helps you with that built-in buffer, long-term food designed to store for years and be ready when you need it.

01:45:59.220 Preparewithglenn.com.

01:46:00.680 10 seconds.

01:46:01.200 Station ID.

01:46:01.660 So 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.

01:46:31.660 It'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.

01:46:40.320 The only time we could get it done was during the show.

01:46:43.040 And so I've been kind of monitoring back and forth and listening to that.

01:46:47.940 Usually, I'm, you know, that's all I'm doing is just paying attention to that.

01:46:51.400 But luckily, I have a great staff that has been working on that since 3 o'clock this morning.

01:46:55.380 Um, and, uh, this, this, this music is just going to be epic, just epic.

01:47:01.400 And this event is going to be remarkable.

01:47:05.040 Um, 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.

01:47:19.160 It's very important.

01:47:20.720 Um, 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. 0.95

01:47:34.700 And there is a plan of conquering the West and it is well underway.

01:47:41.220 Did you hear Jonathan Turley say last hour, he thinks that the EU is going to implode in epic fashion.

01:47:50.260 Now, I don't know what made him say that we did.

01:47:52.620 We ran out of time for me to have a follow-up question on that, but that's quite a statement.

01:47:56.620 And 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.

01:48:09.820 Um, and today is election day in Texas.

01:48:12.740 You have a chance to vote and say, I want this on the ballot, banning of Sharia law in Texas. 1.00

01:48:19.140 That happens today.

01:48:20.540 If you haven't voted in Texas, go out and vote today.

01:48:23.980 Ban Sharia law in Texas, but this special is coming on March 19th. 1.00

01:48:30.780 I'll tell you about it and show you some of the things we found in just a second.

01:48:34.000 First, 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.

01:48:50.520 First, 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.

01:48:59.100 Every 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.

01:49:08.460 And I think yesterday, people in Tel Aviv were in the shelter, in and out of the shelter, like 37 times.

01:49:14.000 I mean, it's bad.

01:49:14.880 It is really bad.

01:49:16.300 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they don't wait for a crisis. 0.99

01:49:21.100 They prepare for it.

01:49:22.480 They have mobile bomb shelters that are ready for deployment.

01:49:25.840 They have hospitals that are being supported for rapid emergency transition, food packages, emergency supplies.

01:49:31.700 You can be a part of helping and being a peacemaker and helping people when they're really in need.

01:49:37.960 Go to ifcj.org, ifcj.org.

01:49:42.060 Stand with the most vulnerable or call 888-488-IFCJ.

01:49:46.760 Don't miss our first big live Torch special on Islam.

01:49:51.400 Get it today at glennbeck.com slash Torch.

01:49:54.260 Sign up now.

01:49:54.820 Hey, just a note.

01:50:11.560 This is the second time glennbeck.com slash Torch has come under a cyber attack.

01:50:18.680 We're getting a DDoS.

01:50:20.620 This happened yesterday.

01:50:21.780 It also happened a couple of weeks ago when we had the prince of Iran on.

01:50:29.380 His father was the shah of Iran.

01:50:31.440 We think it is Iranian-centered.

01:50:35.420 I don't know where it is coming from.

01:50:39.180 We're hiring a new security team just for the DDoS attacks.

01:50:43.780 None of your information or anything is at stake on this.

01:50:46.380 It is just shutting us down so people can't connect online to us.

01:50:51.160 Somebody is trying to shut our voice down.

01:50:55.840 And 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.

01:51:05.920 That is because somebody, it's a very large operation.

01:51:10.680 Our people believe that it is probably nation-state directed.

01:51:14.920 I can't imagine who that is.

01:51:19.320 I personally wonder if it's nation-state.

01:51:22.700 I could see other people that would really like to shut us down that have a lot of money on this.

01:51:29.360 But thank you for subscribing and thanks for having patience through all this.

01:51:33.320 We will get to the bottom of it if we can.

01:51:35.900 It may be something that only the government can deal with.

01:51:39.560 But thank you for joining us and being part of the community and the family at glenbeck.com slash torch.

01:51:45.840 I want to talk to you a little bit about this special that we're doing on March 19th.

01:51:49.880 This is something, please put this down on your calendar.

01:51:51.920 This 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.

01:52:02.380 One, 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.

01:52:11.900 Um, the other was, um, a week is not enough time to do something of real deep, deep, uh, work and understanding and exposing.

01:52:23.140 So 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.

01:52:31.960 Um, and I want to do them when we're ready.

01:52:34.600 Um, and so I have guaranteed that there will be at least four documentaries that we will be doing these deep dives into different topics.

01:52:42.740 And the first one is coming on March 19th.

01:52:45.360 Um, and it's exposing the Islamic blueprint for the conquering of the West. 1.00

01:52:50.220 Um, we have hired a couple of research teams, uh, to help us along with my research team.

01:52:57.060 And we have been digging now for months and finding things.

01:53:01.100 Um, 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.

01:53:17.400 Um, 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.

01:53:26.640 This is what they're doing.

01:53:28.180 This is not just, uh, you know, a crazy guy saying something.

01:53:31.400 So let me play a couple of, uh, voices here.

01:53:35.560 Uh, 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.

01:53:52.440 Listen, listen, in the moment that you grab the gun, like Fanon says, you're no, you're, you're, you're no longer oppressed.

01:54:00.240 You're now free.

01:54:02.060 How do we teach that in the class?

01:54:04.180 Just to say that in the class, my students' heads explode, right?

01:54:09.940 To tell them about violence, you know, as a revolutionary tool, as an, as sometimes a revolutionary essential.

01:54:19.800 We 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. 0.99

01:54:32.580 So we must stand with the armed resistance and work right now to end this impunity by disrupting the flow of weapons to Zionists. 0.67

01:54:39.420 Cause trust the armed resistance will defeat Zionism if it was open battlefield. 0.58

01:54:44.400 Yeah, I've been humbled since October 7th, particularly being in community with folks, particularly when you're someone who has been doing this work.

01:54:53.840 Why stop?

01:54:54.600 This is a profound moment for us, right?

01:54:56.780 And we need to dig in and go harder.

01:54:58.960 I think putting our bodies on the line sometimes to protect those who are more vulnerable, right?

01:55:05.340 To eat tear gas when we should be doing that and not students.

01:55:11.160 I think that's essential.

01:55:15.720 Notice what they all have in common.

01:55:19.040 They all have American accents.

01:55:21.460 These are all Americans.

01:55:23.280 Americans and, um, I want to bring, uh, Jason in cause Jason is working on, you know, whittling down. 0.74

01:55:31.880 I'll give an idea.

01:55:32.700 And it just usually so huge that we have to cut it and like by about nine tenths.

01:55:38.580 Um, 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.

01:55:51.860 They always, this is what happened in Iran in 1979. 0.66

01:55:55.020 They always bind together.

01:55:58.120 Um, and, uh, Islamists have really adopted this, this Marxist philosophy at the beginning. 0.52

01:56:07.300 Then they go all Sharia. 1.00

01:56:09.000 And what happened in, in Iran was about 30,000 Marxists were killed after the revolution was over.

01:56:16.480 They were done with them and they killed them. 1.00

01:56:18.320 Useful idiots. 1.00

01:56:19.640 But that's what's happening here. 1.00

01:56:21.540 It's not just the Islamists. 0.92

01:56:23.980 It is also, uh, the Marxists here.

01:56:27.360 And that was one group of just the Marxists.

01:56:30.720 Do we cover that at all, Jason, in this?

01:56:33.100 Did we get a chance to put that in?

01:56:33.860 Oh, do we cover it?

01:56:35.500 Okay, good.

01:56:36.360 Not only do we cover it, we actually whittle it down very specifically to certain administrations and show where it was happening in certain administrations.

01:56:44.360 But we even go beyond the red-green alliance.

01:56:47.540 We 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.

01:57:10.040 This is, Glenn, this has been going on since the early 90s, at least.

01:57:14.420 At least.

01:57:14.860 I know.

01:57:15.800 I know.

01:57:16.140 Well, they came up with this plan in the 70s.

01:57:18.280 After it failed the first time, the Marxists knew they had to retool everything.

01:57:23.100 And they started developing this in the 1970s.

01:57:26.240 So you know, there's nothing I hate more than when somebody says, ah, there's something really going on.

01:57:32.360 You know, I saw the president stabbing people at night in the hallways of the White House.

01:57:37.620 I didn't say anything, but my new book is out, and it's in my new book.

01:57:41.620 I hate that.

01:57:42.720 I hate that.

01:57:43.500 So, 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.

01:57:59.460 They are already informed.

01:58:01.100 We 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.

01:58:10.820 We 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. 1.00

01:58:39.480 I really believe that.

01:58:41.720 I 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.

01:58:58.940 Whether 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.

01:59:15.260 You know, how dare you say replacement theory?

01:59:18.540 How dare you say it's an invasion?

01:59:20.680 They're saying it.

01:59:22.580 They're saying it.

01:59:24.020 And 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. 0.95

01:59:37.680 Just 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.

01:59:54.300 Europe is not going to be able to do it.

01:59:56.180 It's too late for them.

01:59:57.080 Did 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.

02:00:09.740 That's because they have to placate their own population.

02:00:12.880 They know they have an Islamist problem in their own nations. 0.95

02:00:17.220 You know, Germany tried to, uh, uh, you know, build a bigger army.

02:00:21.900 They'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.

02:00:32.760 That's a problem gang.

02:00:34.860 That's a real problem.

02:00:37.840 Uh, and it is a well thought out plan.

02:00:41.300 So 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. 0.95

02:00:51.900 Spring of the West, uh, you will get that, uh, on that night.

02:00:57.580 A bonus is when the special ends, we're actually not going to end.

02:01:02.520 We're going to keep Jason, um, one of our researchers, Ryan Morrow, who's an expert on extremism.

02:01:08.580 He's fantastic.

02:01:09.440 And Glenn and our insiders will be able to interact and ask questions live with Glenn and the team after.

02:01:16.220 So you're going to want to sign up for that.

02:01:17.700 Yeah, I would like to see, and I know I'm piling stuff on you, Ricky, um, and the staff,

02:01:21.700 but I would like to see if we can even go an hour early before the special and just play the things like I just played.

02:01:30.140 So people understand it's already here and they're not one-offs.

02:01:34.960 It's, I mean, you were on the email chain.

02:01:37.500 I don't even think I sent you everything.

02:01:39.040 I think I sent you about a third of what I sent to Bowie and Jason.

02:01:43.380 Um, but I mean, I had to finally just say stop because I could have done a thousand more of those.

02:01:52.120 When you start going down that rabbit hole and you're looking, what are people actually saying in the United States?

02:01:57.160 Let me give you another one.

02:01:57.880 Here's a Dearborn resident, um, asked by Nick Shirley.

02:02:04.040 Would you Muslim, would you support America or Iraq?

02:02:08.080 This was the question at the time or Iraq.

02:02:10.480 If there was another, a war, listen to this.

02:02:12.980 Now you have all these Islam men yelling all the Akbar. 1.00

02:02:17.200 I have a question for you guys.

02:02:18.780 If America were to get in a war with someone, with a country like Iraq,

02:02:21.900 who would you guys defend, America or Iraq?

02:02:24.180 Uh, we won't, we won't get in a war.

02:02:26.320 That's not permissible for us.

02:02:27.660 But at the same time.

02:02:28.740 Who would you defend first?

02:02:29.680 We would, that's not, we would support our brothers in Iraq.

02:02:33.100 That's the only way.

02:02:34.200 So you want to defend America?

02:02:35.500 We would not defend America.

02:02:36.560 But you're America?

02:02:37.220 But at the same time, listen, at the same time,

02:02:39.420 America is our country because we were born here.

02:02:42.640 But in our Islamic book, we're not allowed to fight

02:02:45.540 with people that are against our religion.

02:02:47.480 So we just take up the jail time.

02:02:49.720 So you would not defend America?

02:02:51.900 I would go to jail instead of fighting for America.

02:02:56.560 Very good answer.

02:02:58.140 Very good answer.

02:02:59.320 Not the answer that everybody was giving.

02:03:01.700 That was more of a Muhammad Ali or Cassius Clay answer.

02:03:05.080 I'll go to jail because it's against my, my religion. 1.00

02:03:08.320 And okay, that is totally cool.

02:03:10.960 You don't want to fight.

02:03:12.040 That's totally cool.

02:03:13.240 But don't fight against your country.

02:03:15.640 That's the best answer I could find.

02:03:19.420 Because many of them are saying, and you're seeing it now.

02:03:23.700 I mean, I, I really like to, can we, do we have any verification of that?

02:03:28.580 Other?

02:03:30.060 I can tell you, Glenn's talking about the foreign service officer who went on a

02:03:36.820 stabbing rampage in DC on Sunday, a day after the attacks.

02:03:40.900 A lot of people wondered at the time, is this tied to Iran?

02:03:44.240 Is this similar to what happened in Austin with that shooter?

02:03:48.000 We don't have confirmation that it is.

02:03:49.880 I do have a source in the State Department who says a lot of people who are hired in the

02:03:54.880 foreign service department for, for the state, they're wackos.

02:04:02.100 They're, they're left-leaning typically.

02:04:04.840 And so.

02:04:05.340 Left-leaning, not, not left.

02:04:06.900 There's left-leaning.

02:04:07.820 I know a lot of good people that are left-leaning.

02:04:10.520 There are people that are certifiable.

02:04:13.340 So.

02:04:13.660 And I think this guy might be one of them.

02:04:15.300 He has an online footprint that we're looking into to verify just how left-wing he was.

02:04:21.060 Hopefully we will have confirmation of that because I've seen the footprint and the guy,

02:04:26.140 there is no way, this guy should have had a citizenship test.

02:04:29.120 Okay.

02:04:29.680 There's no way this guy, and, and this again is not an Islamist.

02:04:34.900 This is just a guy who seems to be very, very left.

02:04:39.500 And you're not going to hear that from the media, but you need to hear it.

02:04:43.860 All right.
