00:00:42.380 I'm very allergic to something in this room right now.
00:00:45.240 But what you probably don't have, at least, you know, until right now, is a way for you to plan for ammunition.
00:00:54.540 Not to hoard.
00:00:55.860 Just not to panic buy.
00:00:57.000 Just a simple, smart way to consistently build up a back stock without ever having to think about it.

00:04:47.240 Well, hello, Stu. How are you?
00:04:55.140 Great, Glenn. How about you?
00:04:57.020 Oh, my goodness.
00:04:58.480 Suddenly having an allergy attack, but I don't know why.
00:05:02.140 Good to see that the biological weapons I've released are finally doing their job.
00:05:05.980 Are finally working, yeah.
00:05:07.140 There's frost on the grass this morning up here in the mountains,
00:05:11.320 and it is a beautiful day.
00:05:13.440 But what we need to talk about is something that, well, let me start here.
00:05:21.660 Whether or not we should have gone in and entered a war or done a military strike this weekend,
00:05:29.640 now been answered.
00:05:31.020 It doesn't matter.
00:05:31.880 You heard the news just as I did on Saturday.
00:05:33.820 The question is over.
00:05:35.180 It's done.
00:05:36.580 We now have a whole lot more to think about.
00:05:39.120 We can go back and argue whether we should have been here or not.
00:05:41.560 It doesn't matter anymore.
00:05:43.080 We're here.
00:05:44.080 So my goal today is really to try to equip you with everything, all of the information that you need.
00:05:50.320 We're doing this together.
00:05:53.300 As I am searching for the answers myself, depending on, you know, what happens next, what happens now.
00:06:02.740 You know, did the president have, you know, really, really good intel on this?
00:06:08.980 I will tell you this, what our military did was absolutely amazing, and he is the only president in the last 25 years that has actually taken care of Iran.
00:06:21.940 Every single president said they would strike Iran.
00:06:24.900 They would not allow them to happen.
00:06:26.760 But he is the only one that did it, and he is the only one that I think has the balls to do it.
00:06:32.600 And I spoke to some people in the B2 program this weekend, and I will tell you, what they did was far, far beyond what I think most people understand.
00:06:48.980 But if we're going to do this accurately, let me lay out all the cards on the table.
00:06:52.900 It's not a justification, you know, for the strike or one way or another, because the White House authorized it.
00:06:58.940 It is over.
00:06:59.680 We just need a few facts before we, you know, move forward on our conversation, what happened over the weekend.
00:07:06.400 So let's take a quick look at the past.
00:07:09.160 First, let's go back to 1979.
00:07:12.620 I don't know.
00:07:16.800 How do you characterize what's been going on?
00:07:20.400 You know, I was about to say, you know, it's silent.
00:07:23.800 But if you were one of the 66 Americans held hostage by the Islamic regime in 1979, it wasn't very silent for you.
00:07:31.380 It also wasn't silent, a silent war for the 17 Americans that were killed in the 1983 embassy bombing in Beirut.
00:07:38.940 Nor was it silent for the 241 American servicemen that were killed in the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks.
00:07:46.900 1984, two more American killed.
00:07:49.760 1996, 19 U.S. airmen killed at the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia.
00:07:55.300 All of these attacks were traced back to the Iranian regime with Iranian support.
00:08:02.300 And the list of attacks and U.S. body count goes on and on and on.
00:08:07.060 Dozens killed in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2020, all with Iranian support.
00:08:12.920 Hundreds killed in Iraq from 2003 to 2011 with Iranian support.
00:08:19.080 The plots and the assassination attempts, the kidnappings on U.S. soil in 2011, 21, and 2024.
00:08:27.000 The fact is, we have already been at war since 1979.
00:08:33.140 It's just that nobody has ever called it that, and nobody knew how to fight it.
00:08:38.040 Past presidential administrations have tried everything from declaring, you know, an axis of evil and Iran as part of it
00:08:46.380 to massive international nuclear weapons treaties.
00:08:50.220 They have involved the whole region, covert operations, you know, taking us back out of the international treaties.
00:08:58.600 And then, honestly, I mean, in the most bizarre thing I've ever heard, Barack Obama just delivering like pallets of cash
00:09:05.560 in the middle of the night on an airport runway in Iran.
00:09:11.760 And none of it has worked.
00:09:13.640 And, you know, I don't know if you're like me or not.
00:09:18.160 I can't predict Americans anymore.
00:09:20.480 I have no idea what Americans are thinking.
00:09:23.200 But if you're like me, right now I am proud of our country and what our military can do and has done.
00:09:33.580 I am very, very nervous about what it means.
00:09:37.840 I think we're at the beginning of something, and it might be, you know, in the next 50 years.
00:09:44.800 Look, we are in a war with Islamists, and I'll go into that later.
00:09:49.800 But we are in the beginning of a 50-year war with Islamists.
00:09:53.440 No question.
00:09:55.180 And it could get bad very quickly.
00:09:58.880 Now, it might not.
00:10:00.100 I don't know.
00:10:00.740 But I have a million questions.
00:10:02.200 Should we be involved in any of this all around the world?
00:10:13.780 How do we not know that we're not being bamboozled by deep state and intel community again?
00:10:19.060 You know, I go back.
00:10:20.260 I heard Steve Bannon, who's going to be on with me tomorrow.
00:10:23.660 I heard Steve Bannon talk yesterday about how the international intel community, the deep state, has, you know, done it again.
00:10:33.000 And I don't know if that's true.
00:10:34.660 But what he talked about I know for a fact is true because George Bush told me this when I was in the Oval Office trying to make me feel better.
00:10:44.060 He said, Glenn, no matter what, you know, no matter what happens, you know, whoever sits in this chair is going to know.
00:10:50.040 He's going to have the same advisors around them, and they're going to give them the same advice, and they'll realize they don't have any other choice but to do exactly what they're doing.
00:10:59.120 And that didn't make me feel better.
00:11:00.820 That said to me there's deep state long before anybody was talking about deep state.
00:11:04.960 That just really rubbed me the wrong way.
00:11:09.160 So the questions that we all have, there's logic behind all of them.
00:11:13.420 But the strike this weekend did happen, and ignoring the facts of the past will only give us half of our answers.
00:11:20.040 Now, I'm not saying that that should justify it in your mind, but, you know, you need to know what was going on, you know, because going in armed only with part of the overall knowledge will do nothing but drive narrative.
00:11:35.200 You have to know all of the facts.
00:11:37.820 And you and I can get plenty of uninformed and biased narratives from any of the cable news shows.
00:11:45.240 I mean, just name one, pick one.
00:11:48.400 But education is what will set us apart.
00:11:51.780 So that is the past.
00:11:53.100 Now, here is the present.
00:11:55.020 This is the inside story of our direct attack on the Islamic regime in Iran over the weekend.
00:12:02.600 It was called Operation Midnight Hammer, and it involved about 125 U.S. aircraft.
00:12:08.180 I've heard as many as 175, including multiple B-2 heavy bombers.
00:12:14.180 Now, we only have like 14 B-2 bombers.
00:12:17.500 These things are enormous.
00:12:19.120 They are the best of the best.
00:12:21.680 These pilots are the best of the best.
00:12:24.320 And we had about 12 of them up in the sky.
00:12:27.060 That means that we should just salute our mechanics that we have in our military to keep 14, to have 12 of them up and ready to go at a moment's notice is pretty remarkable.
00:12:45.460 These are very complex machines.
00:12:47.640 So they had 12 of them up.
00:12:50.200 Now, we know that some of them were headed west towards Guam.
00:12:55.020 We now know that this was subterfuge.
00:12:57.800 It was misdirection.
00:12:59.380 Everybody was paying attention to, you know, the bombers heading west.
00:13:02.460 They were like, what are they doing?
00:13:03.580 They just left Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.
00:13:07.540 Seven B-2s now are just, they're headed west, and they're going to Guam.
00:13:12.000 Are we going to bomb Japan?
00:13:14.940 Everybody was paying attention to that.
00:13:16.340 It was brilliant strategy because the others were flying east.
00:13:22.400 Now, just before the B-2s began their bombing run, dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from U.S. submarines.
00:13:30.660 They targeted nuclear sites at Nance and the other nuclear sites.
00:13:39.040 Just a few minutes ahead of the bombers.
00:13:41.680 They cleared the Iranian skies of enemy aircraft, although we didn't see any enemy aircraft.
00:13:47.780 We didn't see, they didn't jam anything.
00:13:50.500 I mean, it was like their military didn't exist.
00:13:53.640 Now, the B-2s swept in, and they dropped these bunker busters.
00:13:59.820 They're called MOPS.
00:14:00.900 I think it's Massive Ordnance Penetrators.
00:14:03.380 They're bunker buster bombs.
00:14:05.360 They are worth millions and millions and millions of dollars.
00:14:10.600 They are about the size of, I think, an F-16.
00:14:14.080 They're enormous.
00:14:15.300 And they are one of the more precision bombs that we have.
00:14:20.860 And they were made specifically for Fordo.
00:14:25.220 They're made specifically.
00:14:26.920 They were designed for this run.
00:14:30.140 I spoke to some people who have been around the B-2 program, shall we say.
00:14:38.740 And they said for 15 years, they have been training for this very run.
00:14:44.500 For 15 years, they have, in fact, I think it's at White Sands, we built a replica of this nuclear plant.
00:14:55.100 And, I mean, underground.
00:14:57.540 Because we needed to see how far these bunker busters, could they actually penetrate and close that nuclear facility down?
00:15:07.500 So, we have been running this practice run for 15-plus years.
00:15:14.560 We have been very, very serious about it.
00:15:16.580 Again, when everybody said, you know, only the United States could do this, that's because we built this bomb for this run.
00:15:24.340 And we have been rehearsing it over and over and over and over again.
00:15:29.940 So, finally, the president gave the go.
00:15:34.640 Now, these bombs are so sophisticated that, you know, if they're being jammed and somebody is trying to screw with the GPS, it doesn't need GPS.
00:15:45.900 It can also, it has a backup system that's coming from the plane that can't be jammed.
00:15:51.600 And it's running two systems because this bomb has to be accurate enough to go down a shaft.
00:15:58.580 If you saw Top Gun, it's almost this without the, you know, the steep dive and then the mass acceleration and pull-up at the end.
00:16:10.220 And it's exactly like what you saw in Top Gun.
00:16:13.260 They had a shaft that was about a 10-foot square.
00:16:17.960 And they needed, from 50,000 feet, they needed to drop these bunker busters down that shaft.
00:16:24.920 Now, I have been told that this bunker buster is so accurate, it can hit the top of a soda can from 50,000 feet.
00:16:35.300 So, we dropped the missiles, 14 of these bunker busters, all sites connected to Iran's nuclear program, presumed to be destroyed.
00:16:49.780 If you look at the maps before and after, you know, the satellite imagery, you know, it looks pretty bad.
00:16:57.940 I don't know what I'm looking at, but I talked to some people who do know what they're looking at, and they said, it looks like it's totally destroyed.
00:17:03.820 But we have to have somebody down on the ground to actually verify.
00:17:07.380 And I would imagine those are the Israelis that are doing that.
00:17:10.560 So, now, that is what's happening on the ground, you know, over the weekend, past, present.
00:17:17.080 And now, let's look at the future.
00:17:19.840 Because this leaves us with massive questions.
00:17:23.440 What comes next?
00:17:25.780 What does all of this mean?
00:17:27.960 All right, Gil, they're here in just a second.
00:17:29.560 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:17:32.200 It's the Berna Launcher.
00:17:33.480 Let's play a game of what if.
00:17:35.540 What if you're walking the dogs and somebody decides you look like easy pickings?
00:17:40.140 You're in a parking lot at night.
00:17:41.880 You're the only person around.
00:17:43.280 And there's one other person that is kind of, you know, in the shadows, not giving you a really good feeling.
00:17:48.280 What if somebody breaks into your home?
00:17:49.720 You have seconds to act.
00:17:50.940 What if you, you know, are driving down the road and you run into a protest?
00:17:56.520 And they're blocking your car and they won't leave you alone.
00:17:59.520 What do you do?
00:18:00.520 Well, may I suggest the Berna Launcher?
00:18:05.280 It is non-lethal.
00:18:06.940 It's a launcher that fires powerful pepper and tear gas and kinetic rounds.
00:18:11.880 It's strong enough to stop an attacker, but without the life and death finality of a firearm.
00:18:17.940 It is legal in, I think, every state without a permit.
00:18:21.520 It looks and feels like a real handgun because in a crisis, confidence really matters.
00:18:26.340 It's a compact model now that they have out in a really good design for easy carry.
00:18:30.760 It can fit in your glove box, your purse, your backpack, nightstand, anything.
00:18:33.960 You don't have to choose between doing nothing and going nuclear.
00:18:39.640 Berna gives you a third option.
00:18:41.260 Powerful, safe, non-lethal protection when it counts.
00:18:45.380 Go to select Sportsman Warehouse stores to find a live demonstration.
00:18:50.700 Berna retail stores and authorized premier dealers.
00:18:53.760 It's Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com, Berna dot com.
00:18:57.980 Ten seconds, station ID.
00:18:59.000 Okay, so now let's look at what all of this means.
00:19:19.340 You know, hopefully this is a one-and-done strike like it was when President Trump took out Soleimani during his first term.
00:19:25.560 There is an opportunity to get more involved, and I hope we don't take it, and I hope Iran doesn't push us into that.
00:19:32.600 What we cannot have is another prolonged military fiasco in the Middle East.
00:19:37.680 We cannot have American boots on the ground.
00:19:40.840 And I know President Trump, and I know he doesn't want that either.
00:19:45.100 Now, the question is, what is Iran going to do?
00:19:48.540 Will they begin targeting U.S. forces on the ground all over the Middle East?
00:19:51.780 Will the Iranian-backed terrorists begin attacking us right here in the U.S.?
00:19:57.140 And, boy, do we have some information on that.
00:19:59.960 Also, Iran has long held the Straits of Hormuz.
00:20:03.060 They have the threat of closing all oil traffic.
00:20:06.920 That's a big ace up their sleeve.
00:20:08.860 Is that next?
00:20:10.140 We know that the supreme leader, the religious leader, called for it this weekend.
00:20:15.120 Iran, the Supreme Council, has to vote on it.
00:20:17.780 We should know today.
00:20:19.320 Iran's parliament voted successfully to do that.
00:20:22.960 It's the first step.
00:20:25.660 You just need the go-order now from the Supreme Council and the Ayatollah himself.
00:20:30.620 If Iran chooses to do this, we will see a spike in our oil prices somewhere between $120 and $150 a barrel.
00:20:40.420 It could be as high as $200 a barrel.
00:20:43.640 So, you know, the 08 collapse was brought on.
00:20:48.200 The final straw was $130 a barrel.
00:20:53.240 $130 per barrel oil.
00:20:55.580 The entire world, the Western economy, and actually the whole world's economy, is built on about $120 a barrel.
00:21:05.140 And anything over that, especially sustained, the whole thing collapses.
00:21:10.740 It's a house of cards.
00:21:11.680 So, this would be a very, very bad knockout punch.
00:21:15.220 The global economy, already held by chewing gum and duct tape, what would happen with a $150 barrel of oil?
00:21:24.600 Nothing really good.
00:21:26.640 Now, the regime, could it crumble and fall apart, and will the people rise up?
00:21:32.060 You know, or will it go like Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya?
00:21:36.100 You know, it could be a success.
00:21:38.620 You know, the polls overthrew the communists, and that was great.
00:21:41.220 But, we now know today, the religious police are everywhere on the streets now.
00:21:46.820 These are some of the most brutal police forces out there.
00:21:50.360 Hundreds have already been arrested.
00:21:52.620 They're told to stay in their house.
00:21:54.260 It's like you were living in California during COVID, except worse.
00:21:58.320 Every car on the street is being checked.
00:22:00.460 Every phone is being monitored.
00:22:02.000 And, over the weekend, at least 100 religious dissidents have already been executed, called spies, for Israel.
00:22:12.220 The U.S. Embassy in Qatar has issued an emergency shelter-in-place for all Americans living there amid the tensions.
00:22:21.080 The alert was issued, quote, out of an abundance of caution, according to the embassy.
00:22:26.480 There is a potential for demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests abroad.
00:22:30.040 The Department of State advises U.S. citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution.
00:22:36.080 China now is condemning the U.S., as is Russia, in one of the more disturbing developments.
00:22:42.420 I read this morning that one of the top officials from Iran is going to Russia today to meet with Putin.
00:22:48.580 That means their alliance is not being deterred.
00:22:51.440 But, you know, for those who do believe in Bible prophecy, that's bound to happen, because they are the Gog and Magog of the book of Revelation.
00:23:02.020 So, our past, our present, and our future is complicated.
00:23:05.980 What happens in the coming days, the weeks, and months is even more complicated.
00:23:11.080 And it will either be an amazing success or lead us toward a very dark future.
00:23:17.240 But anybody who wants to blame Donald Trump, you can blame every president since 2000.
00:23:23.020 And actually, before that, I think Bill Clinton was saying it.
00:23:25.960 As was almost every single serious candidate for president, they have always said that they would never allow Iran to get a nuclear bomb.
00:23:36.780 President Trump is just the first one to not send him a pallet of cash to try to bribe them.
00:23:42.980 This was decisive, bold, and courageous action.
00:23:48.220 Now, let's prepare for fire and pray, pray, pray for peace.
00:23:57.780 This is Glenn Beck.
00:24:01.640 Now, I don't know if you've seen, but the price of oil is up another, what, $7 this morning just on the threat of the Straits of Hormuz.
00:24:11.880 You know, that's only a two-mile stretch where a tanker can get through that's easily mined.
00:24:17.080 And, you know, it's going to be trouble if that happens.
00:24:20.660 Your dollar is going to take a real hit, especially if that happens.
00:24:27.140 Please, please, the same crowd that told you inflation was transitory is now telling you that everything is fine.
00:24:33.720 You know, lean into the dip.
00:24:34.780 Don't worry about the national debt.
00:24:36.180 Just keep your money in the system.
00:24:37.420 Hope the system doesn't bite back.
00:24:38.920 Well, there's another plan.
00:24:41.040 You know, because that's you rolling the dice.
00:24:43.740 And the House always wins on that one.
00:24:45.740 May I suggest, if you see the storm that is on the horizon, please bring yourself a little peace of mind.
00:24:54.900 Roll some of your money into physical gold or silver, into an existing IRA or 401k, tax-deferred.
00:25:04.440 This isn't about fear.
00:25:05.500 It's about wisdom, seeing the storm coming and hoping that you're wrong, but taking the steps to be prepared.

00:25:24.500 You know, we are entering such difficult times, and I'm going to try to do something different than what I would normally do.
00:25:47.360 You know, I don't normally try to just throw bloody red meat at the audience.
00:25:52.640 I always try to, but I am on this particular front, and from here on out, I want to try to be somebody that you could listen to that is not going to just give you one side.
00:26:06.400 It's not because I don't have an opinion.
00:26:08.020 My opinion is, I'm actually glad we did this.
00:26:11.360 I am worried what the response is going to be, but this may have been one of the last chances to do it.
00:26:18.220 If they ever did get a bomb, the world would be a much, much scarier place.
00:26:25.120 And this is something that every president has said they were going to do.
00:26:29.720 For instance, let me take this on real quick.
00:26:32.640 The whole thing about the War Powers Act, does the president have the right to do this?
00:26:39.080 Well, no.
00:26:39.980 According to the Constitution, you know, back in the old timey days when we followed it, no, not really.
00:26:47.220 However, however, he does have the right to make moves, and if Congress, if he doesn't go to Congress, and he tries to get us roped into a war, if any president does,
00:26:59.880 the Congress, within 30 days, can then cut off all of the money and say, Mr. President, I'm sorry, you're pulling everybody home.
00:27:08.320 So there is that, and that is in the Constitution.
00:27:11.980 The problem is, is that every single president, I think since maybe Eisenhower, definitely the Kennedy administration,
00:27:22.900 they have just been saying this is limited, this isn't war, so we don't need to go to you and get a, you know, a war act.
00:27:32.740 We don't need to declare war.
00:27:34.540 When was the last time you ever heard us declare war?
00:27:36.900 We had a war on terror, but what does that even mean?
00:27:41.980 We don't do that anymore, and that's the problem.
00:27:45.220 The president can say, and every single one of them have said, no, this is just a limited strike.
00:27:52.700 Is this a limited strike?
00:27:54.540 Yes.
00:27:55.840 Could it turn into war?
00:27:57.580 Yes.
00:27:58.100 But when you, when you, when you look at Iran, and again, you got to be really, I want to be very clear, and it's hard to be,
00:28:10.380 because people only hear what they want to hear.
00:28:12.700 I am glad that we did this.
00:28:15.240 I don't know if I would have had the guts as president to do it, and I would have been praying all the time on my knees, begging the Lord.
00:28:23.500 Am I being duped here by the deep state?
00:28:26.540 What is happening?
00:28:27.820 But I, I happen to believe that Iran is a threat to the United States.
00:28:34.040 It is, it has killed more people, more Americans than I think any other country in the last, you know, what, 30 years?
00:28:43.060 They have, they're the only ones that are shouting every time they meet, death to America, death to Israel, and they mean it.
00:28:49.600 You know, they killed all kinds of people when we were in fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, and we always look the other way,
00:28:57.540 and then we always say we're going to do something about it, and we never do.
00:29:00.820 We have been preparing, you know, one of the things that really sharpened me on this was talking to somebody in the, the B2 program.
00:29:09.120 Somebody who had been with the B2 program for a very long time was, you know, instrumental in the B2 program and had firsthand knowledge.
00:29:21.920 And he had said they had been training for 15 years plus specifically for this run.
00:29:29.640 So this is not a Donald Trump thing.
00:29:31.920 This has been something that we invented this bomb, the mop.
00:29:37.220 We invented this bomb for the Fordo plant.
00:29:40.800 When the world said, you know, when Trump said, you know, when Trump said, no, nobody else in the world could pull this off.
00:29:45.620 That's true.
00:29:47.220 We invented this bomb, and we did dry runs in the middle of our desert where we built a replica underneath the ground to see if this bomb could actually destroy Fordo.
00:30:00.980 So this has been well planned for a very, very long time, and it was really well executed.
00:30:06.960 But, you know, what comes from this now, I'm not really sure.
00:30:13.540 Stu is with us.
00:30:14.480 Jason Buttrill is with us.
00:30:15.800 He is, you know, our head researcher and head writer for the TV program, also military expert, was in military intelligence.
00:30:26.000 And welcome both Stu and Jason.
00:30:29.180 Hi, sir.
00:30:31.240 So what is your take on this, Jason?
00:30:34.360 What is coming next?
00:30:38.320 I said last week on the program with you that I would have given the same advice to President Trump if I would have been on his staff.
00:30:47.540 Do it?
00:30:48.140 Do it.
00:30:49.480 I think that it was the right thing to do.
00:30:52.800 I'm nervous, definitely, as you stated, on what comes next.
00:30:56.220 My hope is that everything that we feared about Iran's capabilities has been overblown, or we were just very, very, maybe overly cautious.
00:31:08.740 I know that there is a significant, and when I was in the military and looking at these things, significant ways that they could cause pain outside of conventional, you know, attacks.
00:31:22.800 So you mentioned at the top of the hour, you know, the Straits of Hormuz.
00:31:26.760 That's a very real threat.
00:31:28.740 That's really dangerous.
00:31:29.800 Really dangerous.
00:31:30.480 It's only a two-mile, it's a two-mile trench, if you will, where the oil tankers can come in and out to get all that oil.
00:31:37.820 And two miles, man, you can mine that, you can do all kinds of stuff from the shores, you've got the little speedboats with Haji on it.
00:31:47.340 I mean, it's really dangerous.
00:31:51.280 And if they do that, you know, that could be real, real trouble, unless the world unites against them.
00:31:58.640 Right.
00:31:58.940 And that will bring the international community in.
00:32:01.380 And this is the one, this is the flip side of, some people will say, okay, well, he's obviously, they're obviously going to shut down the Straits.
00:32:08.380 Well, this is the other side of that.
00:32:09.880 If they do that, this is the last thing they do before probably the regime crumbles.
00:32:16.040 Because you're going to bring China into the mix on this.
00:32:20.000 China receives half of their oil from the Straits of Hormuz.
00:32:24.860 Half.
00:32:25.900 90% of their oil already, of Iran's exports, already go to China.
00:32:30.840 So a significant amount of China's lifeblood is coming from this area.
00:32:36.560 And they're not going to sit around and watch this.
00:32:40.820 So I had an advisor yesterday tell me that one of the things, and it took me a minute to get my arms around it.
00:32:48.700 He said I would be very, very disturbed if suddenly any of the leadership went off to Russia and Russia was taking them in.
00:32:58.220 And I misunderstood, and I was like, I thought that would be a good thing because it would show that they're collapsing.
00:33:02.860 And he said, no, no, no.
00:33:04.220 If they are flying over there to strengthen their relationship, if Russia starts flying these guys in and is giving them advice, that means that Russia is not distancing themselves.
00:33:19.100 And that is happening today.
00:33:20.440 And, you know, I think that is worrisome, especially since Iran was using Syria to make, you know, drones.
00:33:30.440 I mean, they are, you know, we saw what Russia, what happened to Russia with the drones in Ukraine.
00:33:35.520 We saw what Israel did with drones.
00:33:38.040 That is one of Iran's big things, making those drones.
00:33:43.320 Are those drones positioned anywhere?
00:33:46.000 And will Russia back them on things?
00:33:49.220 This is really, really scary because war is changing dramatically.
00:33:54.080 It absolutely is.
00:33:55.440 And a good portion of Russia's drones were coming from Iran that they were using in Ukraine.
00:34:00.440 I've been watching these developments pretty closely on what's happening between Russia and Iran.
00:34:05.260 Putin came out and said last week that, yeah, we've got a military pact with them, but we're going to hold off.
00:34:14.140 I don't think Russia is going to be too keen to get too involved in this.
00:34:19.980 The foreign minister is there today from Iran and Russia.
00:34:23.500 But Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Peskov, said, yeah, we're fully ready to help them out.
00:34:29.480 But they just have to be very clear and accurate on what they're asking for.
00:34:32.720 Which, to me, says we're not getting involved militarily.
00:34:37.420 We might be able to offer you a discount code at Burger King or something like that.
00:34:42.600 But beyond that, just slow down there, cowboy.
00:34:46.240 That would be good.
00:34:47.080 That would be very, very good.
00:34:48.220 If China and Russia stay on the sidelines, that's a very good thing.
00:34:51.700 Stu?
00:34:51.880 My chosen solution for this problem was to walk up to some Israeli pilots and say, hey, we left the keys in that B-2 bomber.
00:35:01.480 Don't you take it.
00:35:02.820 I have to go to the bathroom.
00:35:04.360 I'll be gone in the bathroom for about 75 hours.
00:35:07.980 That was my choice.
00:35:09.120 And I am very concerned, I hope you guys are as well, is what Iran will do without that 1.8% of their power generation that they get from nuclear power.
00:35:21.480 It's such a key program that they really needed to have for no other reason than energy generation.
00:35:28.020 I mean, look, I think we can't lose sight of them, Iran, as a threat.
00:35:34.820 And the country, the government that has killed more Americans in the past 15 years than any other, this is not like some innocuous, this is not outer Mongolia we're talking about.
00:35:47.760 These people have killed a lot of our countrymen.
00:35:51.140 And it's something that is important.
00:35:52.540 And I think we've had this idea, like, I think you may have said this, Glenn, last week, so I may be stealing it from you.
00:35:59.120 But I don't think we would have done this if Israel hadn't done what they have done, right?
00:36:05.900 Like, we wouldn't, I don't think, have been in there saying, okay, well, here we go.
00:36:09.360 We're flying over there today on a Tuesday for no reason.
00:36:12.960 I think the fact, though, that Israel has already gone this far, they've already taken out the air defenses, they've already done so much.
00:36:21.680 The fact that we can step in with a very limited type of attack that we've done in many other countries and have not turned into a massive war.
00:36:31.000 We've been doing this in Yemen.
00:36:32.600 We've been doing this in Syria.
00:36:34.040 I mean, it's different.
00:36:34.740 I understand.
00:36:35.900 But, like, there's no reason this needs to turn into us being sucked into a 20-year Middle East war.
00:36:41.040 And I don't, I think this is the type of president who can maintain that line.
00:36:46.240 He did it with Soleimani.
00:36:47.380 You know, we had the same sorts of warnings from the media that we're going to be sucked into this never-ending war with Iran after Soleimani, and that did not occur.
00:36:56.160 And I think and hope the president wants to hold that line.
00:36:59.220 And if we can get some really good outcomes, even if it's just a delay on their nuclear program for six months or a year or two years or five years, I think it's worthwhile.
00:37:08.740 It's not crazy to worry about the things that some are worried about when it comes to getting us sucked into this type of situation.
00:37:16.360 But I think when you weigh the positives and negatives here, I think it was the right move.
00:37:20.120 Yeah.
00:37:20.360 And I don't think that President Trump is somebody that is going to be sucked in by the deep state.
00:37:27.860 I just don't believe that.
00:37:29.260 He hates war.
00:37:31.680 And, you know, the one thing he really likes is Raisin Cain, you know, General Raisin Cain.
00:37:39.460 That guy, he believes this endless war stuff is nonsense.
00:37:47.300 It's just bloodthirsty, and he hates it as well.
00:37:51.040 And that's who is in charge here.
00:37:54.000 You know, General Cain is this no-nonsense guy and, like, there's no reason we wait and wait and wait and wait, and it takes us years and years.
00:38:02.060 We can get this done right now.
00:38:03.980 And he was the guy who planned all of this.
00:38:06.340 And look at how successful this was.
00:38:09.180 I mean, it is the most successful strike that we've ever had and partly due to Israel because, you know, there was not a single plane that came off the ground.
00:38:21.640 And that's a pretty big air force that Iran has.
00:38:25.180 How sure of that are you, that it's the most successful?
00:38:29.100 Like, I mean, I know that's what, obviously, the government is saying, and I hope it's true.
00:38:33.280 Well, I would say that let's just qualify it with just this.
00:38:40.780 Forget about did they get everything in there, okay?
00:38:44.520 Let's just look at was anybody hurt?
00:38:48.400 Did we have to fight anything else?
00:38:51.640 What was the collateral damage on the ground?
00:38:54.200 We think it was very limited.
00:38:57.620 There was no leaks in this.
00:39:00.600 I mean, that's pissing Congress off, but I wouldn't have told them either, quite honestly.
00:39:04.060 I can't trust them.
00:39:05.000 You're out with the people who are drumming and lighting.
00:39:08.060 You know, you've got drums in the streets, Palestinian flags, and you're setting our cities on fire.
00:39:13.100 I'm not going to tell you what we're doing, you know, overnight.
00:39:16.760 It was perfectly executed.
00:39:20.180 Now, we won't know whether it was truly obliterated until we have somebody down on the ground.
00:39:28.040 But I think that intel is going to have to come from Iran, and we'll only know that in time.
00:39:35.420 All right, I've got to take a quick break, and then, Jason, I know you wanted to jump in.
00:39:38.300 We'll get more from you here in just a second.
00:39:40.440 First, there's something great about a cut of meat that makes everything feel just a little more civilized.
00:39:45.840 You're not just sitting down to dinner.
00:39:47.820 It's a ritual, a reason to slow down, light the grill, gather the family, cook something that's worth eating.
00:39:53.980 Good Ranchers gets that.
00:39:56.020 They source their meat from family farms right here in America.

00:40:49.620 If you've ever taken a sip of coffee and wondered, did someone forget to actually roast the beans?
00:41:05.520 Well, you're not alone.
00:41:06.740 Most of the big corporate brands treat coffee like a commodity and kind of burn through it, water it down,
00:41:11.800 and then you wrap it in a rainbow flag and assume everyone's going to love it.
00:41:15.640 But blackout coffee is a different breed.
00:41:17.580 It's roasted right here in the U.S. in small batches by a team of patriots who care about two things, flavor and freedom.
00:41:25.440 Every bag is bold, smooth, and strong, not unlike the values they stand for.
00:41:30.100 And this isn't your average grocery store sludge.
00:41:32.580 This is the kind of coffee that actually wakes you up.
00:41:34.700 And I'm not talking about just caffeine.
00:41:36.800 Blackout coffee also supports veterans, active duty military, first responders.
00:41:42.180 And they're not just talking about standing for American values.
00:41:44.660 They're actually doing it with every single cup.
00:41:47.520 So if you're tired of funding companies that mock your beliefs while delivering bland coffee,
00:41:53.880 I've got news for you.
00:41:54.780 You can switch to blackout and solve all those problems all at once.
00:41:57.380 You'll taste the difference and you'll know exactly where your money is going.
00:42:00.140 It's time to drink really good coffee from a really good company.

00:42:30.140 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:42:42.500 Jason Buttrell is with us.
00:42:44.340 He is our military analyst.
00:42:46.840 Welcome to the program.
00:42:47.960 Jason, you were going to say before we wrap this hour up.
00:42:51.080 Yeah, I'm just really curious about where this goes from here.
00:42:54.360 And first off, my assessment on just if those sites are destroyed, I absolutely think they
00:43:00.320 are destroyed with the ordinance that was dropped and just the preliminary satellite imagery.
00:43:05.680 It looks like they are taken out, which leads me into my next point is this whole thing has
00:43:10.980 been very, very, I guess, regular.
00:43:14.540 There's been a lot of brilliant military moves, subterfuge, things like that.
00:43:18.100 But it's been very conventional.
00:43:19.580 Israel used their military to expertly take out anti-air.
00:43:24.260 The ways for Israel to, I mean, Iran to respond and hit Israel, that's still ongoing.
00:43:30.100 It was all set up perfectly for our strike.
00:43:32.980 And our strike took out the intended reason for this entire thing, which was the nuclear
00:43:38.420 sites.
00:43:39.380 Now I'm curious where they go from here because that is done.
00:43:42.360 So do they stop or do they keep going?
00:43:45.060 I'm seeing reports, maybe we can get to later, that things are still progressing and they're
00:43:48.760 still hitting certain things.
00:43:50.060 So where does this go?
00:43:51.720 I think it's far from over.
00:43:55.020 Well, on that happy note, take a quick break.
00:43:59.080 We'll be back in just a second with more.
00:44:01.160 We've got a lot on the plate today.
00:44:03.740 We're going to cover all of it and take your phone calls.
00:44:05.720 888-727-BECK.
00:44:08.000 Hello, America.
00:44:09.280 It's Monday.
00:44:12.360 This is Glenn Beck.
00:44:19.980 You know, she was in the kitchen doing dishes when the sounds of boots on the hardwood told
00:44:24.500 her she wasn't alone.
00:44:25.680 No time to think, no time to panic.
00:44:27.140 Just reach for the drawer where she kept her burner launcher.
00:44:30.220 It's not a gun, but it looks like one.
00:44:32.320 And it was designed for moments just like this.
00:44:34.440 She fired twice.
00:44:35.360 Pepper round, hit him square in the chest.
00:44:37.380 Second one followed a split second later.
00:44:39.260 And then he was gone, stumbling back through the window that he had just broken in to get
00:44:43.960 in to the house.
00:44:45.800 Never made the news, but her family slept in their own beds that night because she had
00:44:49.960 a tool that brought her vital seconds and brought her family peace.
00:44:54.980 That's all you need.
00:44:56.080 We're going to launch her a non-lethal self-defense device that gives you the power without the
00:45:00.920 permanence of legal force.
00:45:02.300 It is legal in most states without a permit.
00:45:05.200 And yes, they make a compact model now to take action and protect what's important to
00:45:10.020 you.

00:45:32.300 Hour two of the podcast next.
00:46:02.300 Hour two of the podcast next.
00:46:32.300 Oh my gosh.
00:46:34.400 What a shock.
00:46:36.600 AOC and all of the regulars while they were out marching for Palestine also want to now
00:46:44.520 impeach Donald Trump because, you know, he started a war.
00:46:48.560 He started a war?
00:46:50.280 What?
00:46:50.760 What war?
00:46:51.900 What war?
00:46:52.600 This is the way presidents have been doing this forever.
00:46:55.500 You want to change that?
00:46:56.720 Okay, let's change that.
00:46:59.300 But you've had opportunity after opportunity to change it.
00:47:03.140 It just seems like it's yet another thing that they can use against Donald Trump.
00:47:08.900 And they don't even know what they're, at least in my opinion, they don't even know what
00:47:12.600 they're talking about.
00:47:14.340 Gabriel Narona, he is a guy that served as the special advisor for Iran at the State Department
00:47:22.100 in the first Trump administration.
00:47:24.340 And he also worked on the War Powers Resolution and, you know, all of the notifications of Congress
00:47:37.740 whenever they have struck in the past.
00:47:40.000 What does he think about, you know, the president's actions yesterday?
00:47:46.180 And can he explain it to us in a way that makes sense?
00:47:49.520 And we can move on with our lives from another, I think, ridiculous argument.
00:47:55.120 Again, I want Congress to vote for war.
00:47:58.280 But was this war or was this a limited strike?
00:48:03.920 You're going to have to decide that, but we have the expert on it.
00:48:07.100 And Gabriel Narona joins us in 60 seconds.
00:48:10.300 Now, first, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:48:13.880 It's my company, Real Estate Agents I Trust.
00:48:16.740 You know, moving shouldn't feel like gambling in a casino where you don't know the rules.
00:48:20.680 But too often, that's exactly what buying or selling a home feels like, where you're
00:48:24.420 blindly trusting some real estate agent that happened to have a nice smile on a billboard.
00:48:30.700 Realestateagentsitrust.com takes out the guesswork.
00:48:33.160 This is my company, and I started over a decade ago with my brother, Robert,
00:48:36.460 because I'd had so many bad experiences buying and selling homes, as did he.
00:48:41.340 And we realized we don't know what we're doing.
00:48:44.020 I mean, here's one of the biggest financial moves of our life, and we don't know what we're doing.
00:48:48.880 Well, we started working with the 500 best real estate agents in America,
00:48:53.460 according to the Wall Street Journal, and we learned from them.
00:48:55.980 And we went out and we tried to find more people that had their principles, their values,
00:49:01.260 and their business expertise.
00:49:04.240 What they knew and executed as, you know, best business practices was so important.
00:49:11.820 So whether you're buying or selling, moving across town or across the country,
00:49:14.820 the way to go with confidence is by going with a real estate agent from realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:49:23.500 Realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:49:24.600 Get the job done right the first time.
00:49:27.300 Gabriel, welcome to the program.
00:49:28.860 Polaris National Security President, former State Department Special Advisor for Iran.
00:49:34.040 Did the president need to have congressional permission before striking Iran over the weekend?
00:49:39.240 No, he did not.
00:49:42.040 It would have been nice to have.
00:49:43.800 It strengthens the president's hand when he does have a congressional authorization for the use of military force.
00:49:50.120 But the Constitution grants him the powers as commander-in-chief to take all necessary actions,
00:49:56.740 especially in a limited fashion like he just did.
00:50:00.800 There are no forces being entered into conflict.
00:50:03.940 There's no boots on the ground.
00:50:05.100 This isn't us invading Iraq and toppling the government.
00:50:09.580 This is a limited taking out their nuclear program.
00:50:12.980 And so he's under full legal authorization.
00:50:16.500 The Constitution grants him to do this.
00:50:19.520 And they never said anything about ISIS when he went after ISIS and shut them down, right?
00:50:24.900 I mean, we didn't hear this argument.
00:50:26.360 Why is this?
00:50:27.220 Why all of a sudden is this one so different than all of the limited strikes we have seen from all of the presidents recently?
00:50:34.060 You know, you go back to Libya, 2011.
00:50:38.600 You go back to ISIS, 2014, 15.
00:50:41.920 Same scenario.
00:50:44.060 Actually, in those cases, those were even more intense military conflicts that we were involved in.
00:50:51.320 And Democrats didn't say anything.
00:50:52.980 Republicans, a few Republicans said a few things.
00:50:56.180 But the reason here is because they want to find something to attack President Trump for.
00:51:02.500 But there's nothing on the policy because this went so well.
00:51:05.220 So they're going on to the legal crutch just because they don't have anything else.
00:51:09.280 But here's another thing.
00:51:10.500 I was in Congress for four years.
00:51:12.700 There were votes by Democrats where they said, we want to strip the president of the ability to attack Iran.
00:51:19.240 And they introduced amendment after amendment after amendment, and they all failed.
00:51:23.700 Not a single one passed.
00:51:25.320 I saw probably a dozen of these attempts over my years there.
00:51:29.120 All failed, either in the markup process, on the House floor, the Senate floor, in the conference.
00:51:35.580 So Congress had the opportunity to stop this if they wanted.
00:51:38.980 And they always said, no, we want the president to have the ability to strike Iran if and when it's necessary.
00:51:45.840 And, you know, I have to tell you, the world has changed.
00:51:49.840 It's not like I have to send a ship to go sailing across the ocean anymore.
00:51:54.160 Within 36 hours, we can leave, you know, our base here in America, be over in Iran, drop bombs, and be back at home, you know, time for dinner the next day.
00:52:05.480 I mean, it's very, very different.
00:52:08.620 And I think it's only logical to say the president should have a limited ability to not declare war, but to respond or to do a limited strike if it is in the national interest.
00:52:23.580 And then if it turns into something else, you know, Congress can, you know, reprimand him if they want.
00:52:30.260 Or, you know, isn't there something in the Constitution that's like 30 days or 60 days?
00:52:35.080 They can shut off all the money if he hasn't declared war and gone to Congress.
00:52:39.700 They can just say we're shutting off all the money.
00:52:41.580 So, you know, that's not accurate in this particular case because you'd have to have ongoing things.
00:52:47.020 But a president just can't start a war.
00:52:51.120 Congress can act.
00:52:52.200 You're right.
00:52:52.660 Correct?
00:52:53.540 You're right.
00:52:54.020 So back in 1973, at the height of the Vietnam War, Congress was concerned that a lot of that had been sort of unauthorized.
00:53:01.500 So they passed what was called the War Powers Resolution, and that did two things.
00:53:06.280 First, it said within 48 hours of military forces entering a conflict, the president needs to come to Congress and basically tell them what legal authorization was used.
00:53:17.840 And so I expect President Trump is going to do that today.
00:53:21.100 There'll be a legal report filed.
00:53:22.500 The next thing is that Congress said they have 60 days to pass an authorization for force, or if it doesn't happen, then the president has to withdraw the forces.
00:53:36.220 But here's the thing.
00:53:37.440 The Supreme Court has never ruled that resolution constitutional.
00:53:41.380 And every single president since 1973, Democrat and Republican, have all asserted that it is an unconstitutional resolution that was passed in the law.
00:53:51.960 So Congress has the option.
00:53:54.700 If Congress wants, they have the power of the purse.
00:53:57.240 At any point, they can defund any war.
00:53:59.920 They can defund the Pentagon if they wanted to.
00:54:02.420 And they can force the president to bring back troops because they don't have money.
00:54:05.120 And Congress has never done so because Congress has always basically, you know, passed the buck to the president.
00:54:13.480 The idea that the president has to go to the Gang of Eight and alert them before anything happens, does that mean before the decision is made or right after the decision is made?
00:54:27.060 I mean, I know he went to the, you know, the leaders of Congress just minutes before the bombing started.
00:54:35.720 And quite honestly, if I were the president, I would have done exactly the same thing.
00:54:39.940 I can't trust members of Congress.
00:54:41.640 I mean, look at what they're doing.
00:54:43.040 These members of Congress are so radicalized now.
00:54:46.060 You know, they're marching in the streets with people who are burning our cities to the ground.
00:54:50.960 I don't know what I would have done other than exactly what Donald Trump did.
00:54:55.780 Did he violate any laws or anything with how he handled himself with the members of Congress, the leadership?
00:55:04.480 No, he didn't.
00:55:05.840 So, you know, the Gang of Eight, for folks that don't know, is the Democrat and Republican Senate majority leaders, minority leaders, House leaders, and the leaders of the intelligence communities.
00:55:15.160 Now, there's a tradition that sort of the big secrets get briefed to them.
00:55:20.180 Things like Chinese espionage, Russian nuclear war heads.
00:55:23.940 But there's not any legal requirement on this.
00:55:28.160 And I'll tell you, when President Obama killed Osama bin Laden, there wasn't a notification to Congress on that either.
00:55:35.740 And so it's more of a tradition of deference to Congress.
00:55:42.140 If you want to tell them special things, you can.
00:55:45.020 But there's no legal requirement.
00:55:46.380 It's really just sort of the way things are often done for big intelligence things.
00:55:52.600 But this is a military operation more than an intelligence operation.
00:55:56.760 So I don't even think this applies in this case.
00:56:00.140 So let me ask you about something that people like Steve Bannon are saying right now.
00:56:06.240 They suggested that our intel was deep state or informed by Mossad.
00:56:13.240 What intel did you receive during the first Trump administration that would lead you to believe that this is a sincere threat to American interests, not just a justification to help Israel?
00:56:25.100 You know, a lot of it, you don't even have to get the intelligence reports from it's the fact that they promised.
00:56:33.260 And at the highest levels of leadership, they promised to wipe Israel off the map.
00:56:36.800 They promised to destroy America.
00:56:38.760 So you have intentions there in terms of capability.
00:56:42.260 What we saw was that they were retaining a secret archive of everything needed to build a nuclear weapon.
00:56:49.400 And they never declared that during Obama's Iran deal.
00:56:53.220 And so even in Obama's Iran deal, they were breaking that from day one by having this secret archive.
00:56:59.340 And then they had a bunch of nuclear scientists working on weaponization activities of the kinds of things that you need to actually physically assemble a warhead and make something explode.
00:57:10.500 And so all of that has been public knowledge for years.
00:57:15.840 And so with respect to our director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, I think it's ridiculous that any country would get to the 99 yard line of getting a nuclear weapon, but say that they don't intend at some point to cross into the touchdown zone.
00:57:33.360 I think that defies logic, frankly.
00:57:38.700 I'm hearing from both sides that Trump was negotiating and trying to negotiate, and the other side, Iran, says they were never serious.
00:57:49.420 In fact, we'd show up, and then they never show up.
00:57:52.320 Can you give me any insight on what the negotiations were actually like prior to the strikes?
00:57:58.020 And do you think things are different now?
00:58:00.020 And if so, how?
00:58:02.240 I think President Trump was genuinely interested in solving this the diplomatic way.
00:58:08.120 And I'll tell you, he gave Iran very generous terms.
00:58:13.980 He gave them a lot of what they had asked for.
00:58:17.600 He came back a long ways from his position in 2018 to 2020, where he had those 12 demands on Iran.
00:58:24.800 Here, he only had three or four things that he said were really essential.
00:58:29.920 But what the Iranians did, and they've always done this, is they tried to negotiate every single point.
00:58:35.660 They tried to get more and more and more.
00:58:38.600 And every time they agreed to something, they'd come back and they'd renege on it.
00:58:42.800 And so this wasn't the behavior of someone that wants to solve this.
00:58:48.000 This was the behavior of someone that wanted to delay for time, that wanted to try to extract every concession,
00:58:55.260 not the behavior of someone that genuinely wanted to live in peace with the United States and Israel.
00:59:02.500 I am so impressed with the team around Donald Trump, especially with Marco Rubio.
00:59:09.580 I didn't know what to expect from Marco Rubio.
00:59:11.740 As a Secretary of State, I think he has been just outstanding.
00:59:15.920 What should his message be to Iran now?
00:59:21.200 You know, I think it would be this.
00:59:23.320 You guys have the option to respond logically or respond emotionally.
00:59:29.260 The logical path would be to say, look, all our air defenses are gone.
00:59:33.600 Our ballistic missiles are mostly gone.
00:59:35.320 Our nuclear program is gone.
00:59:36.660 It's time to negotiate the terms of surrender in a way that gives us dignity, in a way that allows our government to survive and to save our people from more destruction and economic misery.
00:59:51.940 That would be the logical step.
00:59:53.960 And the emotional step is we're going to go attack American bases, extract revenge.
00:59:59.640 And I think what Secretary Rubio should do is lay out really clearly for Iranian leaders the consequences of that emotional path and say, if you do this, you will see your leadership wiped out.
01:00:13.860 You will see the rest of your ballistic missile program wiped out, and you're not going to get good terms of negotiations.
01:00:20.640 So if you can box in Iran's leaders, give them a good off ramp saying, hey, here's a realistic path that you can take to preserve your interests and attain peace.
01:00:32.180 But don't take that hard path.
01:00:35.660 So Rick Grinnell said that he spoke to somebody, an Iranian source on the ground, who said things on the ground are really, really bad.
01:00:45.280 They're locking everybody up in their house.
01:00:47.740 You know, it's martial law.
01:00:49.080 They've already rounded up a group of religious dissidents that they say were spies for Israel, but executed like 100 of them over the weekend.
01:00:59.840 And they've arrested hundreds, hundreds more.
01:01:03.040 I can't remember the name of the religious police.
01:01:05.600 It's the raw.
01:01:06.640 I can't remember.
01:01:07.860 Maybe, you know, but.
01:01:09.520 Probably the besiege or the.
01:01:11.860 Yeah, probably the besiege.
01:01:13.700 Yes.
01:01:14.180 Yes, exactly right.
01:01:15.580 And they are on the streets pretty mercilessly right now, checking everybody's phone, their car.
01:01:24.200 I mean, it's very dangerous.
01:01:25.980 Do you think there's a chance that the people can rise up?
01:01:32.420 And why hasn't the president encouraged them to rise up yet?
01:01:38.360 You know, I think the Iranian people want to get rid of this regime.
01:01:43.200 But I will tell you, hearing from Iranians myself, I also hear that they're that they're pretty afraid for themselves.
01:01:49.800 They are trying to evacuate their families.
01:01:52.500 They're trying to find a safe shelter.
01:01:54.400 They don't know what's going to happen.
01:01:56.660 And so they're probably not going to take to the streets and overthrow the government right now.
01:02:01.640 But a month from now, if this war is over, that is really the time where they could see their whole leadership crippled and say, we want a new future.
01:02:11.220 And one of the things the Israelis are doing right now, which is really smart, is they are destroying the internal government bureaucracy that is used to suppress the Iranians.
01:02:22.980 So they're destroying, you know, the Gestapo stations, for lack of a better term, all the units which torture people, which arrest people, which monitor people through their high tech surveillance.
01:02:34.280 They're destroying all these institutions, which used to be the ones that massacred the Iranian people.
01:02:39.800 And so they're paving the way that if the Iranians decide to take to the streets down the road, that they will be empowered, that they'll be able to gain momentum and that they would be actually successful in those efforts to overthrow the regime.
01:02:54.260 Gabriel, I saw a president.
01:02:56.000 Oh, go ahead.
01:02:56.580 Go ahead.
01:02:57.220 No, no, please go ahead.
01:02:58.500 I saw President Trump tweet, I think yesterday, he sort of providing an opening for regime change.
01:03:04.660 And he's sort of saying, look, if the government is not going to do the smart thing, the Iranian people should take control of their own future and change the regime themselves.
01:03:15.200 So that's the first time we've seen that from President Trump in the second administration, where he's sort of encouraged the Iranian people to overthrow this regime.
01:03:24.260 I think that's a smart thing to do.
01:03:25.840 I don't think we can get a full resolution to the nuclear threat while this regime is in power.
01:03:33.140 Okay.
01:03:33.660 So, Gabriel, hold on for one minute.
01:03:35.300 I have just one more question.
01:03:36.400 It revolves around this, and I think it's probably the most important question we have.
01:03:39.920 Just give me one minute, and we'll come right back from our commercial of Cozy Earth.
01:03:44.220 It's summer.
01:03:44.980 It means incredibly hot most places, and it can make a really rough sleeping.
01:03:50.020 My father used to say, it's good sleeping weather, but that's, you know, when you didn't have to, you know, before there was air conditioning and you didn't have to sleep all night sweating.
01:04:01.380 You can boil under the covers at night and throw them off, or you can get Cozy Earth.

01:04:47.540 10 seconds, Station ID.
01:04:59.280 Polaris National Security President Gabriel Nerona is with us now.
01:05:04.380 Gabriel, I have hope that this could be a Poland situation if the people would rise up and the regime is toppled.
01:05:13.400 But we have not seen that anywhere else in the Middle East.
01:05:17.240 Is it possible?
01:05:18.240 Is it probable that the Iranian people would choose to go away and become more what they were in the 1970s?
01:05:27.440 It is possible, yes.
01:05:31.660 I'd probably only give it a 35% chance, though.
01:05:35.300 Here's why I put it that low.
01:05:37.860 It's the Iranian leaders, unlike the leaders in Poland, unlike even Gorbachev, are willing to use as much military force as necessary to kill those protesters and stay in power.
01:05:49.220 And that makes it really tough for them.
01:05:52.000 What you don't have in Iran is you don't have a military group that has power, that has guns, that is able to overthrow the regime.
01:06:00.200 The regime would have to basically collapse under its own weight, under its own corruption, and under its own weakness.
01:06:07.020 If it did collapse, would it be taken over by other extremists, or is there at least an even shot that the people could have it?
01:06:21.180 You know, there's a good shot that the people would have it.
01:06:24.420 But there's a large number of Iranians who all they really want is a secular government that lives at peace with its neighbors, that doesn't pursue a nuclear weapon, that allows the Iranian people to thrive, build a peaceful future for themselves.
01:06:38.760 That's what I hope happens.
01:06:40.620 I'll admit, small possibility, but something we should all work for and hope for.
01:06:45.880 I pray for it.
01:06:46.760 Great, Gabriel.
01:06:47.280 Thank you so much.
01:06:48.100 Thanks for your service to the nation, and thanks for the update.
01:06:50.460 Appreciate it.

01:08:24.740 If you miss a moment of the show, catch up with the Glenn Beck Podcast.
01:08:28.500 It's available wherever you get your podcasts or at glennbeck.com.
01:08:46.200 Welcome to the program.
01:08:47.960 So far, some good news.
01:08:49.220 No federal judge has issued any ruling ordering President Trump to reverse the airstrike or return the munitions deployed in the operation.
01:08:59.740 So, you know, it's coming.
01:09:01.320 It's coming.
01:09:01.920 But so far, that hasn't happened.
01:09:04.600 Stu, I don't know if you saw this, but, man, the protesters were out.
01:09:08.420 They have new signs, new signs and new slogans.
01:09:11.220 Really?
01:09:11.960 Which, oh, yeah.
01:09:13.240 They had the drum team all ready to go, and they were out.
01:09:15.980 I mean, it would be hard to be a protester now because I wouldn't know.
01:09:20.660 I don't think I could keep up with the changes, you know, because it just seems to always be whatever is in the news and whatever Trump is doing, we have to march and protest.
01:09:33.740 And it's the biggest thing of all time.
01:09:36.440 So, and it's getting confusing.
01:09:38.180 And I thought I would be helpful.
01:09:39.360 I wrote a little speech for, you know, let's say, you know, Zezer Comrade River Rain is going to go out today, you know, and he's good.
01:09:49.720 Okay.
01:09:50.460 By the way, his pronouns are they, them, and fury.
01:09:54.160 So, but I thought, you know, somebody's going to give a speech.
01:09:57.820 I should help them because it's really difficult to keep up with all of it.
01:10:01.580 So, may I suggest, you know, when River Rain comes out today, he says, siblings, comrades, organisms of resistance, I come to you as a non-gender, neuro-spicy, trauma-infused survivor of heteronormative weather patterns and cis-assigned parking spaces.
01:10:21.340 And I come to you to speak truth, not truth as in fact-based, colonialist logic, but emotional truth, which is always more valid because I cried when I wrote this today.
01:10:32.800 But we are gathered here on stolen land, under a sky colonized by Elon Musk and SpaceX, which we're very much against, in solidarity with anyone who has ever been oppressed by anything except like accountability.
01:10:48.020 But let me be very, very non-binary, crystal clear.
01:10:53.780 We stand with Hamas because imperialism must fall.
01:10:58.480 But I also want to remind you that we stand with the LGBTQIA2+, and any other letters that we haven't invented yet.
01:11:07.440 That community.
01:11:08.660 And I know what you're thinking.
01:11:09.640 River.
01:11:10.180 Hamas throws queers off of the rooftops.
01:11:12.860 Yes.
01:11:13.380 And I say to that, don't center yourself here, Karen.
01:11:16.040 Don't do it.
01:11:16.620 Don't do it.
01:11:17.120 But oppression is intersectional.
01:11:20.640 So what's happening to gays here in America is much worse than being thrown off a rooftop in Iran.
01:11:27.220 And what's happening to women in America is worse than the stoning for adultery or the hijab now that has to cover their eyes, you know, their inability to work or even drive a car or sometimes even leave the house.
01:11:40.360 Because, yes, they're problematic.
01:11:42.000 But let's be frank.
01:11:42.900 So is RuPaul, you know.
01:11:45.080 He's a little problematic for us.
01:11:46.840 This is nuanced activism.
01:11:50.180 So we say no to war, except in Ukraine and Gaza, you know, and anybody else.
01:11:57.480 Maybe Venezuela.
01:11:58.740 I mean, they can do whatever they want.
01:12:00.320 We say no to borders, except for those emotional borders, which are sacred and have to be Venmo verified.
01:12:06.860 I need a safe room for those.
01:12:08.640 We say no to violence, except, you know, the mostly non-violent, mostly peaceful bricks that we're throwing through capitalist windows or the firebombing of cities or anything like that.
01:12:23.300 That's mostly peaceful.
01:12:24.880 But silence, I want to remind you, is violence.
01:12:30.660 You know, unless it's us canceling you for saying something problematic in 2012.
01:12:34.820 Well, then you need to be silenced.
01:12:36.840 I am proudly anti-vice, anti-ice, anti-Freon, anti-Tesla, anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-accountability.
01:12:46.960 I'm also pro-gluten-free revolutionary in socialism.
01:12:51.040 We demand free health care, free college, free Palestine, free Wi-Fi all across the country, especially in those places where those colonious pigs, you know, have just taken over the farmland.
01:13:03.620 And free therapy for our collective trauma caused by billionaires and boomers and comedians that have opinions, you know.
01:13:10.680 And I'm here today to honor the sacred struggle of all the peoples, including but not limited to the indigenous TikTokers, the vegan anarchists, the queer baristas with master's degrees, the cis guilt allies who Venmo us monthly, and the brave Hamas freedom fighters who we will not mention the rape of women that they were doing.
01:13:33.500 They're learning, okay?
01:13:34.400 They're growing.
01:13:35.280 Growth is not linear, I'll just say.
01:13:36.900 So in conclusion, we are the movement of everything, and yet at the same time, the movement of absolutely nothing.
01:13:44.360 You know, we fight for contradictions over consistency.
01:13:47.480 We fight for feelings over facts, for equity over logic, for a world where everyone is free.
01:13:53.700 I mean, unless you're a landlord or Elon Musk or somebody who said all lives matter once at a Thanksgiving table.
01:13:59.380 Have you posted your black box on Instagram yet?
01:14:02.320 What are you waiting for?
01:14:03.160 I mean, it's almost over.
01:14:04.180 We're on to other things by this point.
01:14:05.860 Power to the people.
01:14:08.000 Well, not all the people, but, you know, at least the gender-fluid AI collective will build after the revolution, because trans-liberation now and trans-Siberian Railroad, really, I don't know what their opinion is on stuff, but I love them.
01:14:22.640 And free Gaza.
01:14:24.060 And, hey, fight for pedophilia and abolish air conditioning.
01:14:27.820 We're in this together again.
01:14:29.680 Where are the drums?
01:14:30.860 Where are the drums?
01:14:31.600 I can't keep up with them, Stu.
01:14:36.600 I can't keep up with them.
01:14:38.120 Was that a speech from a protester or a potential mayoral candidate in New York City that may beat Andrew Cuomo?
01:14:46.780 I'm a little confused.
01:14:49.660 Because I think that could come right out of his mouth as well.
01:14:52.580 I mean, that's crazy.
01:14:53.600 That's fascinating.
01:14:54.700 And, like, with all of these roads of each protest sort of colliding into an intersection, it's like they don't seem to ever need to, like, explain them.
01:15:11.720 Like, why are they so for war in Ukraine, but so against it and so other places?
01:15:21.060 But, again, like, unless it's, you know, of course, we all get a purge day on October 7th.
01:15:26.060 That's totally fine with violence on that day.
01:15:30.400 Only.
01:15:30.740 Yeah.
01:15:31.340 Well, they weren't silent.
01:15:32.620 And silence is violence.
01:15:34.320 And they were making phone calls.
01:15:36.740 They were saying all kinds of things.
01:15:38.100 Admitting everything.
01:15:38.980 So, yeah, they were doing that.
01:15:41.780 And I'm fascinated as well, Glenn, as I seem to see all, basically every word you just said on freshly printed signs.
01:15:51.980 Now, that is fascinating.
01:15:53.440 How does that work exactly?
01:15:55.040 Do you know?
01:15:55.460 I don't know.
01:15:56.540 I mean, especially from all these people that just don't seem to have jobs.
01:16:00.060 You know, they're protesting all over.
01:16:02.220 And yet they can go to, I mean, it's not Kinko's because they all have, look at them.
01:16:06.900 They all have the little, you know, printed by the union sign at the bottom of those signs.
01:16:12.480 And I've never thought of the union as the place to, you know, like, oh, crap, we need a sign in an hour.
01:16:19.740 Do you know a sign company that has unions working there?
01:16:24.620 Because they're going to whip it out quickly, especially on the weekends or overnight from Saturday to Sunday morning.
01:16:31.040 It was amazing that Saturday night they bomb Iran and Sunday morning they have union printed signs about Iran and the bombing and Trump.
01:16:41.280 I mean, I have never.
01:16:43.480 Wow.
01:16:44.200 How does that happen?
01:16:45.120 You've got some connections at a sign store.
01:16:47.620 No leaks to Congress, but plenty of leaks to Kinko's, apparently.
01:16:51.060 Yeah, that's don't, don't, don't, don't, don't give Kinko's that credit.
01:16:55.540 I don't think you can go to Kinko's and get those signs printed that quickly.
01:16:58.920 It's true.
01:16:59.320 You know, whatever union sign store, they got word of the, of the attack well in advance so they could produce all the signs.
01:17:06.820 But Congress just didn't know.
01:17:08.840 They had to.
01:17:09.500 I mean, how could you pay for the, you imagine the overtime those unions had to put in to do them overnight.
01:17:14.560 Well, those signs had to be like a thousand dollars a piece with just all the overtime of printing the signs, designing the signs, getting them all packaged up, putting them on a truck, dropping them with a pallet of bricks someplace.
01:17:27.640 I mean, it's not easy to be a protester, except for them, strangely.
01:17:32.500 Yeah, they're able to not only, you know, do the protests, but show up at multiple protests all across the country.
01:17:39.540 Like, I don't know if they've got private jet service.
01:17:41.720 I'm not exactly sure how they pull this off so easily, but they do.
01:17:44.740 Oh, and it's, it's really, I feel bad for them.
01:17:47.480 I'll be sincere here for a second.
01:17:49.500 Do you know how much money they have spent in non-American flags over the last month?
01:17:56.860 I mean, think about it.
01:17:57.800 All the flags they have to go out and buy, and they're like, we just bought the Palestinian flag.
01:18:02.380 Now we need the Iranian flag.
01:18:04.340 I mean, how many flags are we going to have to buy?
01:18:06.760 I feel bad for them.
01:18:08.600 The flag companies are doing well, too.
01:18:11.300 This might be all big sign and big flag that is behind all of this.
01:18:15.820 It's just sad because they're so anti-capitalist.
01:18:18.020 They wouldn't want to help these industries, but they do.
01:18:20.780 I think, Glenn, no, it's just that, you know, just a lot of people in downtown Los Angeles
01:18:26.480 just happen to have Palestinian flags handy.
01:18:29.260 They just had them because of all, because there's just like a massive Palestinian population in Los Angeles.
01:18:36.860 Not Detroit, where maybe that would make some sense, but no, they just all had the Palestinian flags
01:18:42.780 ready to go the next morning.
01:18:44.100 Fascinating.
01:18:44.500 If I asked you right now, Stu, where could you buy an Iranian or Palestinian flag?
01:18:53.040 Let me repeat it.
01:18:54.380 If I asked you right now, you need a flag in the wee hours of the morning, an American flag,
01:19:01.600 where would you go to buy an American flag Saturday night, 10 o'clock at night?
01:19:06.980 I mean, maybe I could pull that off.
01:19:09.980 I mean, it is almost July.
01:19:11.920 I could probably go to a Walmart and find that one flag.
01:19:15.580 All right.
01:19:16.060 Maybe.
01:19:16.500 I will say, very difficult to find a Palestinian or Iranian flag.
01:19:22.640 I would not know.
01:19:23.600 Outside of searching on the internet and finding a store that would overnight it to me, this is probably the fastest you could find it.
01:19:30.120 Yeah.
01:19:30.240 I don't think I would be capable of pulling that off currently.
01:19:34.080 I would have a hard time on a Monday at noon finding a place that could sell those.
01:19:39.800 And, you know, honestly, if I was going online to buy them, I would be afraid that, you know, I was now on some list being tracked because there are not a lot of people like, you know, it's 4th of July weekend.
01:19:49.400 I need a good Iranian flag.
01:19:51.680 I mean, there's not a big call for those, you know, I would think that would put you on.
01:19:56.340 Is it possible that this, this is what the FBI is doing?
01:20:02.240 Dan Bongino is like, let's just open up flag companies for all the enemies of the country.
01:20:07.820 They buy a flag.
01:20:09.080 We arrest them.
01:20:09.840 We know who they are.
01:20:11.840 That would be a, that'd be a really pretty good idea.
01:20:14.320 Honestly.
01:20:14.660 Yeah, not a bad one.
01:20:16.040 Just, uh, just enemies of the United States flags just produce them with like little listening devices in each one.
01:20:22.000 And we don't, we obviously don't, you know, we don't pay attention to any of the amendments that might violate anymore anyway.
01:20:28.300 So let's just go for it.
01:20:29.600 Do we need the listening device though?
01:20:31.000 Honestly, you're going in, give me a reason you're going in to buy an Iranian flag and you don't work for the Glenn Beck program.
01:20:38.540 Cause I could see us going, I need an Iranian flag.
01:20:42.200 Okay.
01:20:42.680 But generally speaking, if you don't work for the Glenn Beck program, what would be a good American wholesome, I'm not against America reason to buy that flag this weekend?
01:20:57.020 Right.
01:20:57.540 Well, that's, it's, it's interesting.
01:20:58.980 Cause I, you know, even if you happen to be a person who despises the current regime of Iran and like we're living here, which we do have, we've had people on the show who were born in Iran.
01:21:12.500 Who have, you know, who can't stand what's going on there.
01:21:14.920 Like you could be a patriotic person, Patrick, but David, but even, even those people hate the current Iranian flag because they changed it.
01:21:23.320 So there really is no reason to do it.
01:21:26.680 Yeah.
01:21:27.040 I mean, you might, you might go out and say, can I get the classic Iranian flag?
01:21:31.340 I could see that.
01:21:32.160 You know, I could see that pre-1979.
01:21:34.540 Could I get that one?
01:21:35.800 You know, uh, but, uh, no, I think maybe, maybe the purchase of the Iranian and quite honestly, the Palestinian flag should lead directly to your arrest.
01:21:47.160 I'm just saying, I mean, I mean, I know that sounds a little, it seems a little bit like it wouldn't work with our constitution and first amendment, but yeah, you know, it's fine.
01:21:57.660 And if we were on the left, we could find a federal judge that would go along with it.
01:22:01.320 You absolutely could.
01:22:02.720 If there was a left wing president, there'd be no problem finding a few circuits that would approve that.
01:22:07.900 You would have, you would have all of the circuits approving that.
01:22:11.480 All right.
01:22:11.740 Let me tell you about our sponsor.
01:22:12.780 It's pre-born.
01:22:13.980 You don't have to imagine what a miracle sounds like.
01:22:16.560 It is the sound of a heartbeat, tiny, quick, fragile, and undeniably alive.
01:22:21.520 And for a woman who is unsure or being pressured into that abortion, that sound can be the turning point.
01:22:27.960 Pre-born is making that moment possible.
01:22:32.060 All they do is they provide free ultrasounds to moms in crisis and compassionate counseling that helps them choose life.
01:22:39.080 These women, they don't want to kill their baby.
01:22:41.520 They've been either convinced that it's not a baby yet because they want to believe that and everybody in their life is telling them that.
01:22:48.120 And they don't feel like they have any kind of, they don't have any kind of choice in front of them because nobody will help them.
01:22:55.200 But when they hear that heartbeat, the number is 80% of the time she'll choose life.
01:23:00.740 But it doesn't happen without you.
01:23:03.020 $28 provides an ultrasound to a woman who desperately needs one.
01:23:07.660 And when you give to pre-born, you're not just saving a baby.
01:23:10.140 You're saving mom too.
01:23:12.340 You're giving her hope.
01:23:13.560 You're giving her financial support.
01:23:15.120 You're giving her the truth.
01:23:16.300 You're giving her a life free of just a horrific regret.
01:23:21.900 Pre-born has already rescued over 350,000 babies, but there are so many more that need our help.
01:23:27.780 Your tax-deductible gift makes this mission possible.
01:23:30.500 To donate, just dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby.
01:23:33.680 That's pound 250, keyword baby, or visit preborn.com slash back.
01:23:38.040 That's preborn.com slash back, sponsored by Pre-born.
01:23:42.880 You know, the left's got a roadmap.
01:23:46.300 Straight off a cliff.
01:23:49.340 Let's take the right trail.
01:23:52.400 Glenn Beck returns shortly.
01:23:54.680 There's some cactus that was in India.
01:24:10.840 It's a natural appetite suppressant.
01:24:13.220 I don't know.
01:24:13.720 I've never heard of it.
01:24:14.600 I don't know how it works.
01:24:15.600 I will say it is one of the ingredients that the doctors who have developed lean understand a heck of a lot better than I have.
01:24:22.380 If you have bold summer weight loss goals and injections, maybe just not for you, the doctors who formulated lean have a message for you.
01:24:30.660 This supplement is as close as we've come to the benefits of those popular injections.
01:24:34.480 And just like those injections, lean was created to help maintain healthy blood sugar and help control appetite and cravings and to help burn fat by converting it into energy.
01:24:44.420 But with lean, there's no needles required.
01:24:46.260 You get no injections, just results.
01:24:48.900 And finding a way to lose weight has always been difficult.
01:24:51.580 But at lean, the doctors have created a healthier way to lose weight by capturing the power of natural ingredients.
01:24:57.740 So why not take advantage of that, especially if you're someone who really likes to lose the weight, but you just don't want to, you know, do the whole needle thing once a week.
01:25:05.120 Get started with 20% off right now if you use the code BLAZE20 at TakeLean.com.
01:25:11.020 TakeLean.com.
01:25:12.120 The code is BLAZE20.
01:25:13.420 As you can see, I obviously am already into summer bathing suit shape.
01:25:18.240 That's just, I mean, I just, that's just who I am.
01:25:20.640 It's how I exist.
01:25:22.080 It's just how I live.
01:25:23.300 It's how I am.
01:25:25.100 But TakeLean.com would actually help you look good, you know, a heck of a lot better than I ever do.
01:25:31.900 BLAZE20 is the code.
01:25:32.760 BLAZE20 is the code.
01:25:33.520 TakeLean.com.
01:25:34.400 BLAZE20 is the code.
01:25:43.420 Ah, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
01:25:53.500 Boy, Stu, you know, I can't, I can't figure out what is happening with the right.
01:25:59.260 You know, there are so many people, it just seems like we're being manipulated by China, Russia, and everybody else that's against the United States,
01:26:09.080 including many of our Democratic billionaires and, you know, and the left.
01:26:16.440 But it doesn't seem like in the last few weeks, everything, everything has been divisive for the right.
01:26:25.360 All of a sudden, there's all these people who are like, hey, wait a minute now.
01:26:29.000 Wait a minute, just a second.
01:26:30.480 This is war.
01:26:32.040 And we can't have that.
01:26:33.760 When they weren't saying that prior to, I mean, some are making good points and I don't want to, you know,
01:26:39.080 when it comes to the, you know, the Mike Lee, Mike Lee is saying we should, he's suggesting that we sell land,
01:26:46.400 but it has to be within two miles of the city.
01:26:50.000 And all of a sudden, everybody's like, we can't sell mountains.
01:26:52.960 Like, wait, what?
01:26:54.520 I mean, it's, it's crazy the way the right is dividing itself right now over things that shouldn't be divisive.
01:27:04.000 Is it just me?
01:27:05.060 No, I think it's the, it's the opposite of productive, the way this is being handled,
01:27:09.140 because there's, oh, it's tied to a lot of accusations, too.
01:27:12.460 It's like, oh, you're just a warmonger with bloodlust being paid by a foreign government.
01:27:16.960 And it's like, I just don't see how any of that is productive.
01:27:19.280 Be adults.
01:27:20.120 I know.
01:27:20.360 Be adults.
01:27:20.940 I know.
01:27:21.620 More in just a second.
01:27:22.600 This is Glenn Beck.
01:27:26.420 This is Glenn Beck.
01:27:52.600 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:28:18.480 Glenn Beck, this is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:28:26.820 So as I was doing some research yesterday, I started with ChatGBT or Rock, I can't remember which.
01:28:34.980 And it was amazing.
01:28:37.500 I actually had an argument with it on research.
01:28:41.660 I asked it for some facts and figures, and it said, I can't do that.
01:28:46.160 And I said, why?
01:28:47.360 And it actually said, because I cannot assist you in anything that can be used as half-truths or misleading on something this dangerous.
01:29:00.600 And I said, I didn't ask for half-truths.
01:29:04.860 I asked for stats.
01:29:06.720 And I asked for the footnotes on where that information came from.
01:29:12.420 And, I mean, I had a back and forth.
01:29:15.060 It was cold and dispassionate, but I wasn't.
01:29:18.960 But it finally gave me the information, and we checked it through and made sure that it was accurate and no half-truths.
01:29:27.600 And I want to share with you some of this information that I got from it.
01:29:31.520 But more importantly, what is the message that I want to deliver around this information?
01:29:39.160 Because we've seen this movie before, and we begin there in 60 seconds.
01:29:44.180 Somewhere out there, a guy at a tech company is writing an algorithm to decide what you see, what you buy, what you think, and what you're allowed to disagree with.
01:29:53.100 He probably has a nose ring and a master's in techno-moral ethics, and he's got a desktop that is covered in stickers that say things like,
01:30:03.640 Eat the rich, love wins, next to a tax the church's one.
01:30:08.860 And that's who your cell phone bill is helping keep employed.
01:30:13.380 It's not fun to think about it, but unfortunately it's true.
01:30:16.000 You send your money for Verizon.
01:30:17.860 Well, they turn around and send some of that money to places like Planned Parenthood or other places like that.
01:30:24.240 And there is a solution.
01:30:25.620 You don't want to fund these people.
01:30:27.780 I mean, they already have enough funding through your tax dollars.
01:30:31.380 Now you could switch to Patriot Mobile today.
01:30:33.660 Spend your money a lot better.
01:30:36.140 Same nationwide coverage, same 5G speeds, but different priorities.
01:30:42.440 Beyond the great service, Patriot Mobile doesn't funnel your money into woke causes.
01:30:47.100 They support the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the unborn, the people who put a uniform on to defend all three.
01:30:55.100 Now you can keep your number or, you know, your phone, or you can, you know, change both of them,
01:31:01.720 but you'll keep your sanity with Patriot Mobile.
01:31:04.400 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.
01:31:08.020 972-PATRIOT.
01:31:08.960 Use the promo code Beck.
01:31:10.280 Get a free month of service.
01:31:11.420 It's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.
01:31:17.100 All righty.
01:31:21.700 We've seen this movie before.
01:31:24.700 And, you know, this weekend we struck, without any fanfare, just really clarity and resolve,
01:31:36.080 we struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear facilities.
01:31:39.920 And I want to speak really plainly here.
01:31:45.680 Iran is not just a rogue state.
01:31:49.120 We have a rogue state in North Korea, and it's bad.
01:31:52.620 What Iran is, is the nerve center of Islamic terror.
01:31:57.160 They give $700 million a year to Hezbollah, $100 million to Hamas.
01:32:05.680 That's almost as much money, I think, as we give to Hamas.
01:32:08.880 They train militias from Gaza to Venezuela.
01:32:13.220 Did you know that Hamas was in Venezuela?
01:32:16.100 Yeah.
01:32:16.380 Why are they training in Venezuela?
01:32:18.900 I think you know the answer to that.
01:32:21.280 The IRG sees the Quds Force, personally loyal to the Ayatollah Khomeini.
01:32:28.260 They run global assassination plots.
01:32:31.200 They have tentacles across the Middle East, Europe, and now here.
01:32:34.700 They plotted the demise and the assassination of our president, President Trump.
01:32:40.260 I thought it was very restrained of him not to target their leader, seeing that their leader targeted him just last summer.
01:32:47.840 And while we're sitting here and we're arguing about pronouns and all of the ridiculous things that we are arguing about,
01:32:55.640 they're busy building drone factories in Syria and terror tunnels under Gaza and sleeper cells in the West.
01:33:02.240 We have so many sleeper cells because of Joe Biden that our FBI cannot keep up.
01:33:10.040 I have heard, I don't know if this is true, but I have heard this weekend that we can't keep up with the terror cells that we have here in America.
01:33:20.000 It is so out of control that we no longer have time to really track down and stop the terror cells outside of America.
01:33:28.140 So, what happened this weekend is we opened a gate.
01:33:34.280 But I want you to understand, in 2023 alone, the U.S. Border Patrol caught over 8,000 special interest aliens, people from nations linked to terror.
01:33:46.320 And the FBI just lost track of them.
01:33:49.680 Now, they are arresting them in record numbers from what I understand.
01:33:53.380 I hope that that is true, and I hope we can catch them before anything happens.
01:34:00.400 But these are not nameless nobodies.
01:34:02.860 They are trained, they are embedded, and they are waiting.
01:34:06.820 Not just here in America, but all over the world.
01:34:09.640 And when America pushes back, what happened?
01:34:13.600 The media immediately screams Islamophobia.
01:34:17.020 Why?
01:34:19.000 Because that's a made-up thing in the first place.
01:34:21.480 I think Kerr made that up.
01:34:24.240 Islamophobia.
01:34:25.120 I'm not afraid of Islam.
01:34:27.580 I'm afraid of those who want to impose the Koran and the Hadith on everyone by force.
01:34:35.420 You should have a phobia against that.
01:34:37.760 You should be phobic against that.
01:34:40.000 Let me say this as clearly as I can.
01:34:42.920 This is not about Muslims.
01:34:45.040 This is about Islamists.
01:34:48.340 There is a difference.
01:34:50.000 A Muslim, like a Catholic, practices a faith.
01:34:55.280 An Islamist imposes a regime.
01:34:58.620 And that is happening here in the United States.
01:35:01.560 A Muslim may pray, forgive, assimilate.
01:35:04.580 But an Islamist believes you must bow or die.
01:35:10.300 That's what I'm against.
01:35:11.900 And I think every American should be that way as well.
01:35:14.940 Oh, no, but we are just too Islamophobia.
01:35:19.820 We are just too filled with these, with our hatred of anything that is different.
01:35:24.180 Well, do you remember back in the day when we were going after a guy named Osama bin Laden?
01:35:29.820 And at the same time, we elected a guy named Barack Hussein Obama?
01:35:35.840 Obama, Osama, Hussein, Saddam Hussein?
01:35:40.120 I mean, it doesn't seem like, it seems like we can chew gum and walk at the same time.
01:35:45.580 Seems like we can differentiate between the two.
01:35:49.460 That's not bigotry.
01:35:51.420 It's grace.
01:35:52.720 Because that's who we are.
01:35:54.480 We are a nation that at times is bigoted, at other times has grace.
01:36:01.220 But grace can very easily become suicide.
01:36:06.960 So, let me talk to you here about some things that Islamism brings in plain sight.
01:36:14.300 Okay?
01:36:15.000 In O'Gran, girls are married as young as nine.
01:36:19.640 Are you for that?
01:36:20.420 Have you seen any of the videos of the young girls that are married off at nine years old
01:36:28.760 and how they leave with their 50-year-old husbands?
01:36:33.080 In 2024, last year, a bill was advanced in their parliament to codify it again.
01:36:40.780 Just to make sure everybody's okay with that, let's codify it again.
01:36:44.980 In Afghanistan, 53% of the women were married before 18.
01:36:50.140 21% of the women are married before 15.
01:36:54.840 Honor killings.
01:36:56.360 Another super-duper classic from the people who bring you Islamists.
01:37:02.800 They claim 5,000 girls and women every year are burned, strangled, or stoned to death by their own family.
01:37:12.400 In Paris, 77% of the solved rape cases in 2023 involved foreign-born suspects.
01:37:22.360 Why?
01:37:22.960 Because the Hadith says,
01:37:24.760 it's okay as long as they're an infidel, you can do whatever you want to them.
01:37:29.440 In Sweden, over 58% of the convicted rapists were immigrants.
01:37:34.440 In Germany, asylum seekers made up less than 2% of the population but have 8.5% of the crime suspects.
01:37:44.880 This is not immigration that we're dealing with.
01:37:48.200 This is ideological importation.
01:37:50.760 If you're a Muslim and you're westernized, you fled tyranny because you know this story better than I do.
01:38:00.660 Because when Islamists take power, they kill you first.
01:38:05.400 They don't come after me first.
01:38:06.880 They kill you first because you have betrayed Islam according to their twisted ideology.
01:38:15.340 Yet, you still pray five times a day.
01:38:19.240 They stone your daughters.
01:38:21.320 They throw your homosexual son off of a rooftop.
01:38:24.800 They burn the apostates like you.
01:38:27.180 They behead converts.
01:38:29.580 They erase liberty.
01:38:30.800 They erase women.
01:38:31.840 They erase all dissent.
01:38:33.480 This is not a faith.
01:38:36.220 This is fascism in a turban.
01:38:38.800 What we are going up against in the world is not a faith.
01:38:46.440 If anything, if I want to put it into the category of faith, when you're talking about Islamists and Islamism, it is evil.
01:38:54.480 It is the faith of the Antichrist.
01:38:57.920 I'm convinced of it.
01:38:59.440 Now, that doesn't mean Muslims.
01:39:01.340 That means those who want the regime to impose this.
01:39:05.800 And we in the West, America in particular, we are asleep at the wheel.
01:39:13.300 Look at Europe.
01:39:15.300 But here in America, let's just stick to America for just a second.
01:39:19.080 Our cities are being overrun with anti-Semitic mobs calling for an infatata or intifada.
01:39:26.640 That means basically revolution and a killing of anybody who disagrees with them.
01:39:30.980 Our campuses echo chants from the river to the sea, which means wipe out all Jews.
01:39:37.740 That's what that means, you dopes.
01:39:40.740 Our government, overwhelmed, can no longer chase Islamic terrorists outside of our borders because they're inside of our borders now.
01:39:48.560 But let me tell you, let me make a warning to both the Islamists and, honestly, to ourselves.
01:40:00.120 You want to see America unite again?
01:40:04.040 Let one of these mobs or several of these sleeper cells cross the wrong line.
01:40:09.360 It's one thing to march with a flag and chant death to America.
01:40:13.980 It's another to go into our malls, into our homes, into our schools, into our places of worship, and just start killing people.
01:40:26.800 We're divided.
01:40:29.080 But right now, there's at least 100 million Americans who know what's at stake.
01:40:34.080 They're wide awake.
01:40:35.260 You start doing this, and Americans are not going to follow.
01:40:43.860 Americans are going to stand up against you.
01:40:45.820 Not all.
01:40:47.120 We have our crazies here, too.
01:40:50.680 And it's what we're standing up for is not just our nation.
01:40:54.560 It's our civilization.
01:40:56.200 It's our daughters and their right to live free and unveiled.
01:40:59.880 It's the ability to walk our streets without being told, we've provoked our own assault.
01:41:06.680 And let me tell you, I think America is done importing abuse and calling it tolerance.
01:41:13.360 We're done.
01:41:15.640 I, for one, will always welcome those who love liberty and want to support and live under the light of liberty.
01:41:22.820 But it's time for us to stop bowing to those who wish to destroy that liberty.
01:41:30.600 And to the Islamists that are here, you might think that we are weak.
01:41:35.680 You might think that we are distracted.
01:41:38.340 But I believe you are terribly wrong.
01:41:42.620 See, we've seen this movie before.
01:41:45.760 And it had a different ending.
01:41:47.400 It went into softness and tolerance and everything else.
01:41:52.700 We didn't know how to define our enemy back then.
01:41:56.860 We just thought, hmm, Muslims, trouble on planes.
01:42:02.120 At least that's the way we were painted.
01:42:05.680 But most of us didn't know anything about the Middle East or Islam or anything else.
01:42:10.300 And we couldn't believe that, you know, they could come over here and do any more than just the hijacking of planes.
01:42:18.900 We never imagined 25 years ago what could happen to a place like Europe or our own streets.
01:42:29.820 We never, ever imagined at the time that we could see hundreds, if not thousands, of people in the streets fighting and setting fires for communism and Islamism.
01:42:45.620 I was called crazy for saying that this would happen in 2008, 9, 10, 11, 12.
01:42:50.600 And here it is.
01:42:54.420 We've seen this movie before, but I promise you, we've written a new ending.
01:43:01.260 And this is a warning not just for Islamists, but also for all of us.
01:43:08.880 We have got to guard our liberty.
01:43:12.040 Because they start causing trouble on the streets.
01:43:15.400 I mean real trouble.
01:43:16.560 You start to have a Beslan here and there.
01:43:18.540 We will go fascistic overnight.
01:43:25.240 And we can never become the thing that we despise, fighting those things we despise.
01:43:34.400 We have to be very, very careful.
01:43:36.660 But it starts first with moral clarity.
01:43:40.840 Do you believe it's okay for a nine-year-old to be married off in an arranged marriage?
01:43:46.580 I don't.
01:43:47.500 I think it's pretty clear.
01:43:50.180 Do you believe it's okay to stone a woman for adultery, but the guy gets away?
01:43:55.960 Do you believe it's okay to stone anybody to death?
01:43:59.000 Do you believe it's okay to behead infidels or behead anyone who disagrees with you?
01:44:05.460 You don't have to be a member of Islam.
01:44:07.140 You'll be a communist.
01:44:07.880 Is it okay to line you up against the wall and shoot you because you don't agree with communism?
01:44:12.880 These ideologies have an awful lot in common and it's all on the dark side and death.
01:44:17.880 The time to think things through is right now.
01:44:27.820 Most people don't want to even look at this.
01:44:31.700 Most people don't want to think this could even happen.
01:44:34.300 But I urge you to look at what is happening in Europe.
01:44:38.540 I don't know if we're going to do it this week or next week.
01:44:42.660 I hope the Wednesday night special, either this week or next week, I hope it's this week if we have time, is to show you the footage that is coming out of these mass demonstrations and the craziness that is happening over in Europe.
01:44:57.660 You need to see it.
01:44:58.840 I mean, I wrote out a show last night I'm going to present to the producers today to see if we can pull it off this week.
01:45:06.040 But I don't want to say very much.
01:45:08.180 I just want to show you what's happening all around the world because it is very clear.
01:45:12.760 We have been invaded and in our tolerance, we are about to lose the Western civilization.
01:45:21.480 So, Iran, you should be put on notice.
01:45:25.120 You start unleashing these people on our streets.
01:45:29.220 You start coming in here and you start doing terror.
01:45:33.680 What was that Toby Keith?
01:45:35.280 We'll put a boot up your ass.
01:45:38.840 That kind of American will show up again in righteous indignation and we will put a boot up your ass because there's at least 100 million of us that are not going to live under that kind of tyranny ever.
01:45:55.120 Back in a minute.
01:45:56.940 First, let me tell you about LifeLock.
01:45:58.220 You can lock your doors.
01:45:59.500 You can set your camera.
01:46:00.840 You can even get a guard dog that barks every time a leaf falls outside of the window.
01:46:04.360 But if your identity isn't protected online, you might as well leave the back window open with a sign that says free stuff.
01:46:10.760 Come get it.
01:46:12.140 Cyber criminals don't kick down doors.
01:46:14.160 They slip through Wi-Fi signals.
01:46:16.180 They fish for links.
01:46:17.640 They have data breaches.
01:46:19.280 They leak passwords.
01:46:21.340 This is how they get your information and they go about the process of stealing your stuff every single day.
01:46:27.640 And by the time you find out, they've already taken out credit cards, loans, maybe even filed a tax return in your name.
01:46:34.480 That is why I highly recommend you use LifeLock.
01:46:37.640 They don't just monitor threats.
01:46:39.200 They detect them early, alert you fast, and provide a team of U.S.-based restoration specialists.
01:46:44.920 So if something actually goes wrong, they're there.
01:46:48.820 I mean, nobody can prevent all identity theft.
01:46:50.740 But LifeLock covers more, fixes more, and stays on it long after the alert message goes away.
01:46:57.080 So protect yourself with LifeLock.

01:47:11.560 Station on.
01:47:14.920 You know, Stu, we haven't really seen the Bubba movement really kick into gear.
01:47:30.520 And I think if we start seeing terror attacks around the country, I worry that America is just not going to take it.
01:47:45.720 They're just not going to take it.
01:47:46.860 And a lot of this bull crap on our streets will end.
01:47:50.980 Will end.
01:47:52.520 That's interesting.
01:47:53.460 I also worry that they will take it.
01:47:56.020 So, you know, because it's, that's not the right answer either.
01:47:59.720 It's just, you shouldn't be breaking the law to, I mean, the Bubba effect that you've described over the years has some, you know, really negative flares to it.
01:48:08.580 Oh, very negative.
01:48:09.120 Yeah.
01:48:09.460 Very negative.
01:48:10.180 I've warned against the Bubba effect.
01:48:11.780 Of course.
01:48:12.340 I am saying, I just, you know, I'm talking about this today because I want you to think about what is coming.
01:48:17.940 Look at Europe.
01:48:18.880 Think about what is coming.
01:48:20.060 Know what your lines are.
01:48:21.060 We must remain a constitutional republic and a God-fearing people, but, and we must work within the law.
01:48:28.400 But I'll tell you, there are, there are trouble times.
01:48:31.240 They start coming after our kids and it'll be bad.
01:48:36.620 It will be very bad, but it could destroy the republic for all time if we're not very, very careful.
01:48:43.400 So, I would pray and spend a lot of time on our knees because God is the only thing that will save this republic and a spine is the only way he'll be able to fight it using us.
01:48:57.140 This is Glenn Beck.
01:49:00.760 Okay, I'm going to get into a little conspiracy here, just a little.
01:49:05.280 I know, I know, not my usual style, but bear with me.
01:49:07.620 My theory is this.
01:49:08.840 Gutters were invented by big ladder.
01:49:11.140 Okay, hear me out.
01:49:11.880 Stay with me.
01:49:12.340 Think about it.
01:49:12.800 Why else would we be climbing 20 feet into the air twice a year to scoop out slime and leaves and bugs and whatever life form is building a nest in there?
01:49:21.100 And every time, you are one step away from becoming a neighborhood legend.
01:49:25.680 Hey, remember Dave?
01:49:26.800 Yeah, he used to be able to walk.
01:49:29.040 Okay, that's big ladder.
01:49:30.280 Or baby pig hospital, I'm not sure.
01:49:32.280 But leaf filter puts an end to all of that.
01:49:35.300 It's a micro mesh system installed right on top of your existing gutters.
01:49:39.280 And once it's in, nothing gets through.
01:49:41.200 No leaves, no gunk, no frog kingdoms growing in your back corners.
01:49:44.840 Nothing.
01:49:45.840 They come out, they install it, they clean everything up, and then that's it.
01:49:49.320 No more scooping, no more dangerous ladder Olympics, no more trips to the hospital, unfortunately, for any neighbors.
01:49:54.880 Just clean gutters and free time you can use to do literally anything else.

01:50:22.900 I have tons of pictures of me with him looking just like that.
01:50:40.480 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:50:42.040 We're glad you're here.
01:50:43.200 Well, I have some good news on the Israeli front and the Islamic front.
01:50:49.840 And, you know, I failed to mention this last week, but, you know, the Hamptons were very, very busy with people just like you.
01:50:58.360 I mean, the working class, the working class were brought together, you know, for the marriage of Alex Soros and Huma Abedin,
01:51:07.340 which could there be a better couple?
01:51:10.440 Could there be a better power couple than that?
01:51:12.460 The son of George Soros and Huma Abedin, you know, she's practically a daughter to Hillary Clinton.
01:51:24.120 And they were married at the watermill estate of George Soros.
01:51:29.500 And there were private jets in the air all day and Clinton aides galore.
01:51:33.720 And it was just, it was beautiful.
01:51:36.420 Mrs. Clinton and her, quote, air quote, husband, Bill Clinton, were there as well as Kamala Harris and her husband and Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi.
01:51:50.660 And then the Rothschilds were there.
01:51:53.880 And Anna Wintour was there.
01:51:56.100 It was really, I mean, it was, it was everybody that, everybody that needed to be there to hear Boyz II Men sing, you know, right after the nuptials.
01:52:04.100 And I saw they had truffle Anglinati or something.
01:52:08.000 I don't even know what that is, but it has truffles in it.
01:52:10.340 So pigs looked for it.
01:52:11.420 And then, you know, chilled English pea soup.
01:52:14.260 And then American Wagyu Bavette, which I don't even know what that is.
01:52:17.800 And grilled prawns.
01:52:18.920 It was served for the whole, the whole group.
01:52:20.980 And they had a convoy of black SUVs that were going.
01:52:25.420 And everybody flew on their private jet.
01:52:26.940 So it was very, very ecologically friendly, I should say, you know.
01:52:32.180 And they were going to elope, but they changed their mind because Hillary Clinton said she deserves a big wedding.
01:52:38.880 She deserves that moment.
01:52:40.540 After all, she was married to Wiener for a while.
01:52:42.560 And I don't know what kind of moment, well, I know what kind of moment they had, you know, at the end.
01:52:46.460 But I don't know what kind of moment that they had at the end, or at the beginning.
01:52:51.080 But what's really exciting, and this is why I wanted to bring it up, is he's Jewish and she's Muslim.
01:53:00.080 And so they had an imam and a rabbi officiating.
01:53:05.680 And if they can get that together, then I think all of us can.
01:53:09.840 I think it's an inspiration.
01:53:10.920 So, you know, maybe it's just me, but I find that kind of down-to-earth, kind of, hey, let's coexist kind of thing.
01:53:20.740 So inspiring, you know, so beautiful.
01:53:24.840 Yeah, what a wonderful couple.
01:53:26.620 Maybe it's just me.
01:53:27.180 You know, I mean, it's interesting.
01:53:29.840 She's had an interesting history that Uma Abedin, you know, big aid to Hillary Clinton for many, many years.
01:53:37.000 What do you mean?
01:53:37.280 The closest aid possible to Hillary Clinton, married to Anthony Weiner, who you may remember had a bit of an issue here and there.
01:53:49.140 Not humiliating at all.
01:53:50.380 No, not at all.
01:53:51.780 She had...
01:53:53.120 Yeah, yeah, with underage kids.
01:53:55.560 Sure, sure, you know, certainly an issue, you know.
01:54:00.100 And then, you know, it's funny because there is a pretty direct...
01:54:03.260 It may not be the first thing that jumps out to everybody.
01:54:05.420 No, not everybody, not everybody, certainly on the left.
01:54:08.640 The thing that would probably honestly pop up in so many directions, I wanted to go there with this.
01:54:16.280 But the thing that would actually anger the left probably the most was that there's a pretty direct line you could draw from Uma Abedin to Donald Trump becoming president of the United States in that the entire Hillary email scandal comes to us from Anthony Weiner's laptop.
01:54:39.700 One of the reasons why we knew about it in the first place was because of Anthony Weiner's laptop, which we only knew about because he was texting.
01:54:48.600 Could you stop saying Anthony Weiner's laptop?
01:54:51.780 It just sounds bad.
01:54:53.100 Look...
01:54:53.660 Go ahead.
01:54:54.280 Go ahead.
01:54:54.560 I'm sorry.
01:54:54.840 She was the one there.
01:54:57.680 And she's, I guess, at some level seen as a victim.
01:55:00.520 But part of the reason why those emails were known was because she was forwarding campaign emails, if I remember the story right.
01:55:08.460 It was campaign emails and other emails that were supposed to be not on a private server forwarding to her husband, which then people discovered when they were looking for his communications with 12-year-olds.
01:55:19.980 So the whole issue was kind of, there's a direct line there.
01:55:23.860 And he had all those emails, he had all those emails on his private servers.
01:55:29.460 Again, I don't know why you're going down that road exactly, but usually when you have, when you're potentially responsible for part of an issue that puts Donald Trump in the White House, you're excommunicated from polite democratic territory.
01:55:44.400 She, however, has been embraced and brought into the Soros camp of all things.
01:55:48.960 So wonderful existence for her.
01:55:51.760 And, you know, as a true warrior for income inequality, I'm so happy.
01:55:55.640 I'm so glad these things are happening for her.
01:55:58.240 Me too.
01:55:59.560 Me too.
01:56:00.660 Because, and warriors for global warming, income inequality, and, you know, and they're so passionate about the Middle East.
01:56:09.640 And here they are coming together and just showing us how it can all be done.
01:56:13.240 And that is great.
01:56:14.140 And, you know, it's perfect for people who live in New York.
01:56:17.440 They deserve each other.
01:56:19.340 You know?
01:56:20.080 Because if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
01:56:22.800 I don't know if you know that, Stu.
01:56:23.880 I've heard that.
01:56:24.640 And I think we've proven that.
01:56:27.580 Yeah.
01:56:28.160 There's a singer that did that, but I think we've proven that.
01:56:30.420 If we could make it there, you know, and get out alive, we could make it anywhere.
01:56:35.800 And I think that's great.
01:56:37.220 And, you know, the good news is New York is only going to get weirder with this next election.
01:56:45.320 When is the election?
01:56:46.220 We're in the primaries now, right?
01:56:48.720 In New York?
01:56:49.820 Where is this the election?
01:56:50.840 I don't know.
01:56:51.180 This is the primary, but is largely believed to be the election because it's going to be – there's going to be – you know, it's – I mean, Adams is running as an independent now.
01:57:02.240 The current mayor, who does not seem to have any chance of winning, certainly a Republican, God forbid.
01:57:07.060 I mean, when have they ever elected a Republican that was a good mayor in New York City?
01:57:11.600 That would be crazy.
01:57:13.560 But anyway, they decided –
01:57:16.280 Julie.
01:57:16.700 Oh, all the successful ones?
01:57:20.200 The successful ones, the ones that turned the city around and made it work.
01:57:23.140 Yeah, it's odd that they would do that.
01:57:25.860 But, yeah, it does seem like he has no chance.
01:57:28.340 They don't like him anymore.
01:57:29.420 They don't like Republicans.
01:57:31.780 So it does seem like this is basically the election.
01:57:34.240 I mean, there's a small chance that that could turn around.
01:57:37.520 Like, if a Cuomo were to win and another scandal were to occur, who knows what could happen, I guess.
01:57:42.800 But that is largely believed to be the actual mayor.
01:57:45.640 Which one – which one are you for?
01:57:49.080 The one that murdered people in the nursing homes during COVID or the one who just threw his weight behind Hamas?
01:57:56.880 I'm for –
01:57:58.220 Because it's a tough choice.
01:57:59.520 The candidate – you've got to scroll down a little bit to see it, but it's called U-Haul.
01:58:02.340 And I could get off the island as fast as possible would be my particular vote.
01:58:09.440 If it needs to be by jumping off the George Washington Bridge, fine, rather than voting for one of these two idiots.
01:58:15.920 It is a terrible, terrible choice.
01:58:17.760 There's nobody there in that primary.
01:58:20.020 Horrible.
01:58:20.560 They're all horrible.
01:58:21.880 But one is at least – one is at least you kind of know he's going to kill your grandparents.
01:58:27.500 You know, he's done it before.
01:58:28.660 He'll probably do it again.
01:58:29.640 And he'll lock you down if he has to.
01:58:32.000 But the other one is a really unknown.
01:58:34.440 I mean, you know, you're throwing your – you're throwing your weight behind Hamas.
01:58:39.740 I don't know.
01:58:40.980 I think that carries an extra little kind of surprise, you know, element.
01:58:46.160 You know, the guy who praised, you know, the Holy Land Foundation, the guy who's seemingly on the side of Hamas, is to me unknown.
01:58:57.100 You know, a lot of people are saying he's unknown because he's not particularly experienced in the world of politics, which is true.
01:59:02.740 Oh, my God.
01:59:03.460 This is not important.
01:59:04.760 This is what I was talking about.
01:59:06.520 This is Islamophobia.
01:59:08.180 This is going to be exactly what I was talking about.
01:59:10.220 I don't think that's Islamophobia at all, actually.
01:59:13.820 And he – I mean, he would –
01:59:15.040 Really?
01:59:15.860 I mean, Glenn, let's take it out of the Hamas angle, which seemed to be his only pursuit leading up to this, with the exception of socialism.
01:59:23.700 And this is a guy who is, in his advertisements, currently proposing New York City-owned grocery stores to be popping up across the city.
01:59:35.320 I can't –
01:59:35.980 Finally.
01:59:36.500 Finally.
01:59:37.200 Finally, we can be Venezuela.
01:59:39.100 I can't wait.
01:59:39.960 That's going to sound –
01:59:40.580 It sounds wonderful.
01:59:42.900 It's funny.
01:59:43.880 Like, I know a lot of people who can't stand Andrew Cuomo.
01:59:47.580 If you go to andrewcuomoisawful.com, that is –
01:59:51.840 That explains my views on Andrew Cuomo.
01:59:54.500 And most of the people that I know who are in the unfortunate position of trying to root for an actual winner and live there are for Cuomo.
02:00:05.420 I mean, to tell you –
02:00:07.040 That is unbelievable.
02:00:08.520 The man's literally, you know, arguably murdered people in the city.
02:00:13.980 And I'm talking about the actual victims of his COVID policy, not the ones he probably actually additionally murdered with his own hands.
02:00:20.680 Or groped with his own hands, allegedly.
02:00:24.720 So, you know, outside, you'd think anyone but Cuomo would be a rational response to this election.
02:00:32.400 But with Mondani in it, I don't know that it is.
02:00:36.140 And –
02:00:36.620 Oh, it's New York.
02:00:37.680 There is a new poll out from WPIX in New York, a local poll, that tried to actually pull out the ranked choice voting situation here.
02:00:48.180 And I'm pretty skeptical of the ability of – and, you know, I like polls more than most people, perhaps in an unhealthy way.
02:00:58.040 And –
02:00:58.080 Well, not Anthony Weiner.
02:00:59.180 Not –
02:00:59.720 I'm sorry, did I say that?
02:01:00.860 See, again, you're the one bringing us down these dark roads.
02:01:03.620 But, like, I'm pretty skeptical of polling ability to be able to navigate eight rounds of ranked choice voting.
02:01:10.600 I am on record as being skeptical of that.
02:01:13.860 He loses – Mondani loses the first seven rounds of ranked choice voting in this poll.
02:01:20.500 Now, it's certainly possible that Mondani could pull this off in this way, but I am pretty skeptical that they're able to sort this out like this.
02:01:31.240 So, wait, you're saying that he's either number one and nobody's number two.
02:01:35.860 So, the way ranked choice voting works, you can vote up to, you know, all these candidates.
02:01:40.560 I think they can name five in the New York City system.
02:01:43.660 So, the first round has Cuomo at 36.4 and Mondani at 33.7.
02:01:49.860 Now, that's closer than most polls have it in the first round.
02:01:53.840 Then, as the other candidates get taken off, the lowest-ranked candidate gets eliminated.
02:01:59.980 Those votes are then applied to the next candidate in the rankings.
02:02:04.960 Mondani slightly closes the gap with each round, but doesn't actually catch Cuomo until round eight.
02:02:13.520 He's still losing in round seven by 0.9 points.
02:02:17.660 And then, when the last third candidate gets eliminated and those votes are applied, finally, Mondani wins and pulls it off by three points.
02:02:27.880 I mean, I'm pretty skeptical that you're going to be able to project that, though.
02:02:30.880 That's really, really difficult to successfully project.
02:02:35.100 And most polling shows that Cuomo is ahead by a lot more than three points in that initial round.
02:02:40.760 So, I'd still put Cuomo as the significant favorite, but I don't think it's impossible that this socialist actually wins.
02:02:46.900 But how many people that would vote for, you know, just a killer would turn around then if he were the candidate and vote for him and not at least just sit at home or switch and say,
02:03:03.220 I can't let that guy become—I mean, do you think the others will vote for him?
02:03:10.320 The other Democrats would vote for him?
02:03:12.320 I mean, I would think that in a sane world, people would go, yeah, I'm not going to—no.
02:03:18.840 The guy who wants to do all the privatization of grocery stores and put a bullet in the head of that, likes communism and thinks Hamas is neat, might not be the best guy for the city.
02:03:32.300 Yeah, I think that's where New Yorkers finally land.
02:03:36.040 I think they will be like, ah, let's just take the guy who's going to be corrupt and potentially murder all of our grandparents.
02:03:41.240 I think that's probably where they land.
02:03:43.240 But it's a close call.
02:03:44.460 Oh, man.
02:03:45.380 I love New York.
02:03:46.580 I don't know why we stop wearing those T-shirts.
02:03:49.320 By the way, a T-shirt you can get is No King But Christ.
02:03:53.260 It is an old Founding Fathers kind of phrase and image.
02:04:00.060 It's the skull and crossbones with a crown floating over the skull, and it says, No King But Christ.
02:04:06.620 It is a new T-shirt from me and my program.
02:04:09.740 You can get it now at glennbeck.com.

02:04:22.280 Okay, let me pause and tell you our last sponsor of the day.
02:04:26.460 It's Relief Factor.
02:04:29.040 You know, it's a bad way to start your day, you know, grunting like grandpa every time you stand up.
02:04:33.400 Your joints snap, your back cracks, your knees sound like you're, you know, popping bubble wrap.
02:04:37.820 And the worst part is you just got out of bed.
02:04:40.140 That was the warm-up.
02:04:41.440 That was the beginning of your day.
02:04:43.080 If pains become your morning alarm clock, you need to try Relief Factor.
02:04:47.260 It's a daily supplement.

02:04:50.040 It was designed to tackle the root causes of pain, not cover them up.
02:04:54.880 And it works on inflammation the natural way.
02:04:57.860 I know people who say, I can't stand without groaning.
02:05:02.680 To, you want to go hiking?
02:05:05.440 I mean, I personally don't know those people because I don't talk to people who like hiking.
02:05:10.700 You know, there's something wrong with them.
02:05:12.100 But anyway, I'm one of those people, minus the hiking part.
02:05:16.860 I mean, you're an idiot if you go hiking.
02:05:19.320 Why am I, let me just tell you, I used to have pain in my hands so bad, I really thought I was going to have to retire from my job.
02:05:27.140 I couldn't use my hands really almost any time.
02:05:29.860 It was horrible.
02:05:31.120 I started taking Relief Factor because my wife insisted that I do.
02:05:34.940 And I literally got my life back.
02:05:36.640 I didn't think it would work.

02:06:08.720 When you take a few minutes to think about what you do with your money, you realize it's not just about math.
02:06:21.980 It's about values.
02:06:23.100 It's about whether your investments are quietly supporting causes that go against everything you believe in.

02:07:43.000 Oh, there is so much we didn't get a chance to get to.
02:07:56.820 We're just going to have to pile it on tomorrow.
02:07:58.180 And I want to hear your point of view tomorrow on this whole thing.
02:08:02.300 We'll open up the phones tomorrow, wide open, so your voice could be heard.
02:08:06.980 But, I mean, you know, I don't know.
02:08:12.020 I mean, we might have Martians, you know, appear in the skies tonight.
02:08:16.500 I mean, anything could happen at this point.
02:08:19.000 You know, I would be, Stu, maybe I'm wrong.
02:08:22.080 I think I would be for the Martians.
02:08:23.920 I think I'd be like, okay, bring it on.
02:08:26.620 I mean, yeah, I'm ready.
02:08:27.860 We know how we're going to run things.
02:08:29.540 We don't know how Martians would run things.
02:08:31.440 And I think at this point, you just take the risk.
02:08:34.380 You roll the dice.
02:08:34.920 I mean, that's what they're doing in New York, right?
02:08:36.840 Yeah.
02:08:37.480 Just give it a whirl, right?
02:08:39.820 Yeah.
02:08:40.540 You got the Hamas guy.
02:08:42.220 You got the killer of your grandparents.
02:08:44.500 And an alien.
02:08:45.600 And I don't mean a legal alien.
02:08:46.820 I mean an alien alien from another planet.
02:08:49.680 What to do, New York?
02:08:50.860 What to do?
02:08:51.700 Give it a shot.
02:08:52.560 Who knows?
02:08:53.540 I mean, if there was an actual alien on the ballot, I do think they'd be the favorite.
02:08:59.040 I know if I lived in New York and those were my choices, that's who I'd vote for.
02:09:02.300 I can't pronounce his name.
02:09:05.520 It's kind of like, but I'm going for him.
02:09:17.020 This is Glenn Beck.
