On this episode of The Glenn Beck Program, host Glenn Beck talks about the weekend and what happened in the past, the present, and the future. He also talks about how to prepare for the holidays and what to do if you don't have enough ammunition.
00:01:42.900You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:01:44.720We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:01:50.740We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:55.960But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:01:58.460Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:02:01.760Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:05:53.300As I am searching for the answers myself, depending on, you know, what happens next, what happens now.
00:06:02.740You know, did the president have, you know, really, really good intel on this?
00:06:08.980I 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.
00:06:21.940Every single president said they would strike Iran.
00:06:26.760But he is the only one that did it, and he is the only one that I think has the balls to do it.
00:06:32.600And 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.
00:06:48.980But if we're going to do this accurately, let me lay out all the cards on the table.
00:06:52.900It's not a justification, you know, for the strike or one way or another, because the White House authorized it.
00:10:34.660But 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.
00:10:44.060He said, Glenn, no matter what, you know, no matter what happens, you know, whoever sits in this chair is going to know.
00:10:50.040He'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.
00:11:00.820That said to me there's deep state long before anybody was talking about deep state.
00:11:04.960That just really rubbed me the wrong way.
00:11:09.160So the questions that we all have, there's logic behind all of them.
00:11:13.420But the strike this weekend did happen, and ignoring the facts of the past will only give us half of our answers.
00:11:20.040Now, 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.
00:12:21.680These pilots are the best of the best.
00:12:24.320And we had about 12 of them up in the sky.
00:12:27.060That 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.
00:14:57.540Because we needed to see how far these bunker busters, could they actually penetrate and close that nuclear facility down?
00:15:07.500So, we have been running this practice run for 15-plus years.
00:15:14.560We have been very, very serious about it.
00:15:16.580Again, when everybody said, you know, only the United States could do this, that's because we built this bomb for this run.
00:15:24.340And we have been rehearsing it over and over and over and over again.
00:15:29.940So, finally, the president gave the go.
00:15:34.640Now, 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.
00:15:45.900It can also, it has a backup system that's coming from the plane that can't be jammed.
00:15:51.600And it's running two systems because this bomb has to be accurate enough to go down a shaft.
00:15:58.580If 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.
00:16:10.220And it's exactly like what you saw in Top Gun.
00:16:13.260They had a shaft that was about a 10-foot square.
00:16:17.960And they needed, from 50,000 feet, they needed to drop these bunker busters down that shaft.
00:16:24.920Now, I have been told that this bunker buster is so accurate, it can hit the top of a soda can from 50,000 feet.
00:16:35.300So, we dropped the missiles, 14 of these bunker busters, all sites connected to Iran's nuclear program, presumed to be destroyed.
00:16:49.780If you look at the maps before and after, you know, the satellite imagery, you know, it looks pretty bad.
00:16:57.940I 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.
00:17:03.820But we have to have somebody down on the ground to actually verify.
00:17:07.380And I would imagine those are the Israelis that are doing that.
00:17:10.560So, now, that is what's happening on the ground, you know, over the weekend, past, present.
00:22:02.000And, over the weekend, at least 100 religious dissidents have already been executed, called spies, for Israel.
00:22:12.220The U.S. Embassy in Qatar has issued an emergency shelter-in-place for all Americans living there amid the tensions.
00:22:21.080The alert was issued, quote, out of an abundance of caution, according to the embassy.
00:22:26.480There is a potential for demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests abroad.
00:22:30.040The Department of State advises U.S. citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution.
00:22:36.080China now is condemning the U.S., as is Russia, in one of the more disturbing developments.
00:22:42.420I read this morning that one of the top officials from Iran is going to Russia today to meet with Putin.
00:22:48.580That means their alliance is not being deterred.
00:22:51.440But, 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.
00:23:02.020So, our past, our present, and our future is complicated.
00:23:05.980What happens in the coming days, the weeks, and months is even more complicated.
00:23:11.080And it will either be an amazing success or lead us toward a very dark future.
00:23:17.240But anybody who wants to blame Donald Trump, you can blame every president since 2000.
00:23:23.020And actually, before that, I think Bill Clinton was saying it.
00:23:25.960As was almost every single serious candidate for president, they have always said that they would never allow Iran to get a nuclear bomb.
00:23:36.780President Trump is just the first one to not send him a pallet of cash to try to bribe them.
00:23:42.980This was decisive, bold, and courageous action.
00:23:48.220Now, let's prepare for fire and pray, pray, pray for peace.
00:25:24.500You know, we are entering such difficult times, and I'm going to try to do something different than what I would normally do.
00:25:47.360You know, I don't normally try to just throw bloody red meat at the audience.
00:25:52.640I 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.
00:26:06.400It's not because I don't have an opinion.
00:26:08.020My opinion is, I'm actually glad we did this.
00:26:11.360I am worried what the response is going to be, but this may have been one of the last chances to do it.
00:26:18.220If they ever did get a bomb, the world would be a much, much scarier place.
00:26:25.120And this is something that every president has said they were going to do.
00:26:29.720For instance, let me take this on real quick.
00:26:32.640The whole thing about the War Powers Act, does the president have the right to do this?
00:26:39.980According to the Constitution, you know, back in the old timey days when we followed it, no, not really.
00:26:47.220However, 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,
00:26:59.880the Congress, within 30 days, can then cut off all of the money and say, Mr. President, I'm sorry, you're pulling everybody home.
00:27:08.320So there is that, and that is in the Constitution.
00:27:11.980The problem is, is that every single president, I think since maybe Eisenhower, definitely the Kennedy administration,
00:27:22.900they 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.
00:29:47.220We 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.
00:30:00.980So this has been well planned for a very, very long time, and it was really well executed.
00:30:06.960But, you know, what comes from this now, I'm not really sure.
00:30:49.480I think that it was the right thing to do.
00:30:52.800I'm nervous, definitely, as you stated, on what comes next.
00:30:56.220My hope is that everything that we feared about Iran's capabilities has been overblown, or we were just very, very, maybe overly cautious.
00:31:08.740I 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.
00:31:22.800So you mentioned at the top of the hour, you know, the Straits of Hormuz.
00:31:58.940And that will bring the international community in.
00:32:01.380And 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.
00:33:04.220If 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.
00:35:09.120And 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.
00:35:21.480It's such a key program that they really needed to have for no other reason than energy generation.
00:35:28.020I mean, look, I think we can't lose sight of them, Iran, as a threat.
00:35:34.820And 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.
00:35:47.760These people have killed a lot of our countrymen.
00:35:52.540And 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.
00:35:59.120But I don't think we would have done this if Israel hadn't done what they have done, right?
00:36:05.900Like, we wouldn't, I don't think, have been in there saying, okay, well, here we go.
00:36:09.360We're flying over there today on a Tuesday for no reason.
00:36:12.960I 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.
00:36:21.680The 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.
00:36:47.380You 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.
00:36:56.160And I think and hope the president wants to hold that line.
00:36:59.220And 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.
00:37:08.740It'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.
00:37:16.360But I think when you weigh the positives and negatives here, I think it was the right move.
00:37:54.000You 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.
00:38:09.180I 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.
00:38:21.640And that's a pretty big air force that Iran has.
00:38:25.180How sure of that are you, that it's the most successful?
00:38:29.100Like, I mean, I know that's what, obviously, the government is saying, and I hope it's true.
00:38:33.280Well, I would say that let's just qualify it with just this.
00:38:40.780Forget about did they get everything in there, okay?
00:51:25.320I saw probably a dozen of these attempts over my years there.
00:51:29.120All failed, either in the markup process, on the House floor, the Senate floor, in the conference.
00:51:35.580So Congress had the opportunity to stop this if they wanted.
00:51:38.980And they always said, no, we want the president to have the ability to strike Iran if and when it's necessary.
00:51:45.840And, you know, I have to tell you, the world has changed.
00:51:49.840It's not like I have to send a ship to go sailing across the ocean anymore.
00:51:54.160Within 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.
00:52:08.620And 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.
00:52:23.580And then if it turns into something else, you know, Congress can, you know, reprimand him if they want.
00:52:30.260Or, you know, isn't there something in the Constitution that's like 30 days or 60 days?
00:52:35.080They can shut off all the money if he hasn't declared war and gone to Congress.
00:52:39.700They can just say we're shutting off all the money.
00:52:41.580So, you know, that's not accurate in this particular case because you'd have to have ongoing things.
00:52:47.020But a president just can't start a war.
00:52:54.020So back in 1973, at the height of the Vietnam War, Congress was concerned that a lot of that had been sort of unauthorized.
00:53:01.500So they passed what was called the War Powers Resolution, and that did two things.
00:53:06.280First, 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.
00:53:17.840And so I expect President Trump is going to do that today.
00:53:22.500The 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.
00:53:37.440The Supreme Court has never ruled that resolution constitutional.
00:53:41.380And every single president since 1973, Democrat and Republican, have all asserted that it is an unconstitutional resolution that was passed in the law.
00:53:54.700If Congress wants, they have the power of the purse.
00:53:57.240At any point, they can defund any war.
00:53:59.920They can defund the Pentagon if they wanted to.
00:54:02.420And they can force the president to bring back troops because they don't have money.
00:54:05.120And Congress has never done so because Congress has always basically, you know, passed the buck to the president.
00:54:13.480The 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?
00:54:27.060I mean, I know he went to the, you know, the leaders of Congress just minutes before the bombing started.
00:54:35.720And quite honestly, if I were the president, I would have done exactly the same thing.
00:55:05.840So, 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.
00:55:15.160Now, there's a tradition that sort of the big secrets get briefed to them.
00:55:20.180Things like Chinese espionage, Russian nuclear war heads.
00:55:23.940But there's not any legal requirement on this.
00:55:28.160And I'll tell you, when President Obama killed Osama bin Laden, there wasn't a notification to Congress on that either.
00:55:35.740And so it's more of a tradition of deference to Congress.
00:55:42.140If you want to tell them special things, you can.
00:55:46.380It's really just sort of the way things are often done for big intelligence things.
00:55:52.600But this is a military operation more than an intelligence operation.
00:55:56.760So I don't even think this applies in this case.
00:56:00.140So let me ask you about something that people like Steve Bannon are saying right now.
00:56:06.240They suggested that our intel was deep state or informed by Mossad.
00:56:13.240What 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?
00:56:25.100You know, a lot of it, you don't even have to get the intelligence reports from it's the fact that they promised.
00:56:33.260And at the highest levels of leadership, they promised to wipe Israel off the map.
00:56:38.760So you have intentions there in terms of capability.
00:56:42.260What we saw was that they were retaining a secret archive of everything needed to build a nuclear weapon.
00:56:49.400And they never declared that during Obama's Iran deal.
00:56:53.220And so even in Obama's Iran deal, they were breaking that from day one by having this secret archive.
00:56:59.340And 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.
00:57:10.500And so all of that has been public knowledge for years.
00:57:15.840And 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.
00:59:36.660It'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.
00:59:53.960And the emotional step is we're going to go attack American bases, extract revenge.
00:59:59.640And 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.
01:00:13.860You will see the rest of your ballistic missile program wiped out, and you're not going to get good terms of negotiations.
01:00:20.640So 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.
01:00:49.080They'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.
01:00:59.840And they've arrested hundreds, hundreds more.
01:01:03.040I can't remember the name of the religious police.
01:01:25.980Do you think there's a chance that the people can rise up?
01:01:32.420And why hasn't the president encouraged them to rise up yet?
01:01:38.360You know, I think the Iranian people want to get rid of this regime.
01:01:43.200But I will tell you, hearing from Iranians myself, I also hear that they're that they're pretty afraid for themselves.
01:01:49.800They are trying to evacuate their families.
01:01:52.500They're trying to find a safe shelter.
01:01:54.400They don't know what's going to happen.
01:01:56.660And so they're probably not going to take to the streets and overthrow the government right now.
01:02:01.640But 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.
01:02:11.220And 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.
01:02:22.980So 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.
01:02:34.280They're destroying all these institutions, which used to be the ones that massacred the Iranian people.
01:02:39.800And 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.
01:02:58.500I saw President Trump tweet, I think yesterday, he sort of providing an opening for regime change.
01:03:04.660And 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.
01:03:15.200So 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.
01:03:44.980It means incredibly hot most places, and it can make a really rough sleeping.
01:03:50.020My 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.
01:04:01.380You can boil under the covers at night and throw them off, or you can get Cozy Earth.
01:04:07.100This stuff is luxury that you live inside.
01:04:09.460It's made from ultra-soft, breathable fabric that regulates temperature naturally.
01:04:13.980Cozy Earth sheets will stay cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and comfortable in every way you didn't know you even needed.
01:04:21.220They also have apparel lines, like their all-day t-shirt and their studio pant collection.
01:05:37.860It'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.
01:05:49.220And that makes it really tough for them.
01:05:52.000What 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.
01:06:00.200The regime would have to basically collapse under its own weight, under its own corruption, and under its own weakness.
01:06:07.020If 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?
01:06:21.180You know, there's a good shot that the people would have it.
01:06:24.420But 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.

01:07:23.400Maybe it looks fine from the curb, but on inside of the floor is crooked, the foundation's cracked, there's a busted pipe leaking all over the place.
01:07:30.140If what I describe sounds pretty accurate to you, then I want you to know something.
01:07:59.720So whether you're refinancing or consolidating high-interest debt or just trying to catch up, they will walk you through all the options without junk fees or high-pressure sales tactics.
01:08:49.220No federal judge has issued any ruling ordering President Trump to reverse the airstrike or return the munitions deployed in the operation.
01:09:13.240They had the drum team all ready to go, and they were out.
01:09:15.980I mean, it would be hard to be a protester now because I wouldn't know.
01:09:20.660I 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.
01:09:33.740And it's the biggest thing of all time.
01:09:50.460By the way, his pronouns are they, them, and fury.
01:09:54.160So, but I thought, you know, somebody's going to give a speech.
01:09:57.820I should help them because it's really difficult to keep up with all of it.
01:10:01.580So, 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.
01:10:21.340And 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.
01:10:32.800But 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.
01:10:48.020But let me be very, very non-binary, crystal clear.
01:10:53.780We stand with Hamas because imperialism must fall.
01:10:58.480But I also want to remind you that we stand with the LGBTQIA2+, and any other letters that we haven't invented yet.
01:11:20.640So what's happening to gays here in America is much worse than being thrown off a rooftop in Iran.
01:11:27.220And 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.
01:12:08.640We 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.
01:12:36.840I am proudly anti-vice, anti-ice, anti-Freon, anti-Tesla, anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-accountability.
01:12:46.960I'm also pro-gluten-free revolutionary in socialism.
01:12:51.040We 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.
01:13:03.620And free therapy for our collective trauma caused by billionaires and boomers and comedians that have opinions, you know.
01:13:10.680And 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.
01:14:08.000Well, 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.
01:14:54.700And, 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.
01:15:11.720Like, why are they so for war in Ukraine, but so against it and so other places?
01:15:21.060But, again, like, unless it's, you know, of course, we all get a purge day on October 7th.
01:15:26.060That's totally fine with violence on that day.
01:17:09.500I mean, how could you pay for the, you imagine the overtime those unions had to put in to do them overnight.
01:17:14.560Well, 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.
01:17:27.640I mean, it's not easy to be a protester, except for them, strangely.
01:17:32.500Yeah, they're able to not only, you know, do the protests, but show up at multiple protests all across the country.
01:17:39.540Like, I don't know if they've got private jet service.
01:17:41.720I'm not exactly sure how they pull this off so easily, but they do.
01:17:44.740Oh, and it's, it's really, I feel bad for them.
01:19:30.240I don't think I would be capable of pulling that off currently.
01:19:34.080I would have a hard time on a Monday at noon finding a place that could sell those.
01:19:39.800And, 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.
01:20:42.680But 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?
01:20:58.980Cause 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.
01:21:12.500Who have, you know, who can't stand what's going on there.
01:21:14.920Like you could be a patriotic person, Patrick, but David, but even, even those people hate the current Iranian flag because they changed it.
01:21:23.320So there really is no reason to do it.
01:21:35.800You 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.
01:21:47.160I'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.
01:21:57.660And if we were on the left, we could find a federal judge that would go along with it.
01:24:15.600I 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.
01:24:22.380If you have bold summer weight loss goals and injections, maybe just not for you, the doctors who formulated lean have a message for you.
01:24:30.660This supplement is as close as we've come to the benefits of those popular injections.
01:24:34.480And 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.
01:24:44.420But with lean, there's no needles required.
01:24:48.900And finding a way to lose weight has always been difficult.
01:24:51.580But at lean, the doctors have created a healthier way to lose weight by capturing the power of natural ingredients.
01:24:57.740So 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.
01:25:05.120Get started with 20% off right now if you use the code BLAZE20 at TakeLean.com.
01:25:43.420Ah, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
01:25:53.500Boy, Stu, you know, I can't, I can't figure out what is happening with the right.
01:25:59.260You 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,
01:26:09.080including many of our Democratic billionaires and, you know, and the left.
01:26:16.440But it doesn't seem like in the last few weeks, everything, everything has been divisive for the right.
01:26:25.360All of a sudden, there's all these people who are like, hey, wait a minute now.
01:29:15.060It was cold and dispassionate, but I wasn't.
01:29:18.960But it finally gave me the information, and we checked it through and made sure that it was accurate and no half-truths.
01:29:27.600And I want to share with you some of this information that I got from it.
01:29:31.520But more importantly, what is the message that I want to deliver around this information?
01:29:39.160Because we've seen this movie before, and we begin there in 60 seconds.
01:29:44.180Somewhere 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.
01:29:53.100He 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,
01:30:03.640Eat the rich, love wins, next to a tax the church's one.
01:30:08.860And that's who your cell phone bill is helping keep employed.
01:30:13.380It's not fun to think about it, but unfortunately it's true.
01:32:31.200They have tentacles across the Middle East, Europe, and now here.
01:32:34.700They plotted the demise and the assassination of our president, President Trump.
01:32:40.260I thought it was very restrained of him not to target their leader, seeing that their leader targeted him just last summer.
01:32:47.840And while we're sitting here and we're arguing about pronouns and all of the ridiculous things that we are arguing about,
01:32:55.640they're busy building drone factories in Syria and terror tunnels under Gaza and sleeper cells in the West.
01:33:02.240We have so many sleeper cells because of Joe Biden that our FBI cannot keep up.
01:33:10.040I 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.
01:33:20.000It is so out of control that we no longer have time to really track down and stop the terror cells outside of America.
01:33:28.140So, what happened this weekend is we opened a gate.
01:33:34.280But 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.
01:41:47.400It went into softness and tolerance and everything else.
01:41:52.700We didn't know how to define our enemy back then.
01:41:56.860We just thought, hmm, Muslims, trouble on planes.
01:42:02.120At least that's the way we were painted.
01:42:05.680But most of us didn't know anything about the Middle East or Islam or anything else.
01:42:10.300And we couldn't believe that, you know, they could come over here and do any more than just the hijacking of planes.
01:42:18.900We never imagined 25 years ago what could happen to a place like Europe or our own streets.
01:42:29.820We 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.
01:42:45.620I was called crazy for saying that this would happen in 2008, 9, 10, 11, 12.
01:44:07.880Is it okay to line you up against the wall and shoot you because you don't agree with communism?
01:44:12.880These ideologies have an awful lot in common and it's all on the dark side and death.
01:44:17.880The time to think things through is right now.
01:44:27.820Most people don't want to even look at this.
01:44:31.700Most people don't want to think this could even happen.
01:44:34.300But I urge you to look at what is happening in Europe.
01:44:38.540I don't know if we're going to do it this week or next week.
01:44:42.660I 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.
01:45:38.840That 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.
01:47:56.020So, you know, because it's, that's not the right answer either.
01:47:59.720It'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.
01:48:21.060We must remain a constitutional republic and a God-fearing people, but, and we must work within the law.
01:48:28.400But I'll tell you, there are, there are trouble times.
01:48:31.240They start coming after our kids and it'll be bad.
01:48:36.620It will be very bad, but it could destroy the republic for all time if we're not very, very careful.
01:48:43.400So, 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.
01:49:12.800Why 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?
01:49:21.100And every time, you are one step away from becoming a neighborhood legend.
01:51:36.420Mrs. 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.
01:51:56.100It 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.
01:52:04.100And I saw they had truffle Anglinati or something.
01:52:08.000I don't even know what that is, but it has truffles in it.
01:53:55.560Sure, sure, you know, certainly an issue, you know.
01:54:00.100And then, you know, it's funny because there is a pretty direct...
01:54:03.260It may not be the first thing that jumps out to everybody.
01:54:05.420No, not everybody, not everybody, certainly on the left.
01:54:08.640The thing that would probably honestly pop up in so many directions, I wanted to go there with this.
01:54:16.280But 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.
01:54:39.700One 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.
01:54:48.600Could you stop saying Anthony Weiner's laptop?
01:54:57.680And she's, I guess, at some level seen as a victim.
01:55:00.520But part of the reason why those emails were known was because she was forwarding campaign emails, if I remember the story right.
01:55:08.460It 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.
01:55:19.980So the whole issue was kind of, there's a direct line there.
01:55:23.860And he had all those emails, he had all those emails on his private servers.
01:55:29.460Again, 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.
01:55:44.400She, however, has been embraced and brought into the Soros camp of all things.
01:56:51.180This 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.
01:57:02.240The current mayor, who does not seem to have any chance of winning, certainly a Republican, God forbid.
01:57:07.060I mean, when have they ever elected a Republican that was a good mayor in New York City?
01:59:15.860I 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.
01:59:23.700And this is a guy who is, in his advertisements, currently proposing New York City-owned grocery stores to be popping up across the city.
01:59:43.880Like, I know a lot of people who can't stand Andrew Cuomo.
01:59:47.580If you go to andrewcuomoisawful.com, that is –
01:59:51.840That explains my views on Andrew Cuomo.
01:59:54.500And 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.
02:01:00.860See, again, you're the one bringing us down these dark roads.
02:01:03.620But, like, I'm pretty skeptical of polling ability to be able to navigate eight rounds of ranked choice voting.
02:01:10.600I am on record as being skeptical of that.
02:01:13.860He loses – Mondani loses the first seven rounds of ranked choice voting in this poll.
02:01:20.500Now, 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.
02:01:31.240So, wait, you're saying that he's either number one and nobody's number two.
02:01:35.860So, the way ranked choice voting works, you can vote up to, you know, all these candidates.
02:01:40.560I think they can name five in the New York City system.
02:01:43.660So, the first round has Cuomo at 36.4 and Mondani at 33.7.
02:01:49.860Now, that's closer than most polls have it in the first round.
02:01:53.840Then, as the other candidates get taken off, the lowest-ranked candidate gets eliminated.
02:01:59.980Those votes are then applied to the next candidate in the rankings.
02:02:04.960Mondani slightly closes the gap with each round, but doesn't actually catch Cuomo until round eight.
02:02:13.520He's still losing in round seven by 0.9 points.
02:02:17.660And then, when the last third candidate gets eliminated and those votes are applied, finally, Mondani wins and pulls it off by three points.
02:02:27.880I mean, I'm pretty skeptical that you're going to be able to project that, though.
02:02:30.880That's really, really difficult to successfully project.
02:02:35.100And most polling shows that Cuomo is ahead by a lot more than three points in that initial round.
02:02:40.760So, I'd still put Cuomo as the significant favorite, but I don't think it's impossible that this socialist actually wins.
02:02:46.900But 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,
02:03:03.220I can't let that guy become—I mean, do you think the others will vote for him?
02:03:10.320The other Democrats would vote for him?
02:03:12.320I mean, I would think that in a sane world, people would go, yeah, I'm not going to—no.
02:03:18.840The 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.
02:03:32.300Yeah, I think that's where New Yorkers finally land.
02:03:36.040I 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.
02:03:41.240I think that's probably where they land.
02:06:23.100It's about whether your investments are quietly supporting causes that go against everything you believe in.
02:06:28.720Most people never stop to ask, you know, what's my money actually funding?
02:06:33.120At Constitution Wealth, that is the first question they ask because they believe you shouldn't have to compromise your principles just to grow your portfolio.
02:06:41.520These guys don't just talk about freedom.
02:06:43.120They actually structure your investments around it.
02:06:45.240And Constitution Wealth can help you build a personalized financial strategy rooted in biblical values, conservative principles, and real economic sense.
02:06:54.340Whether you're planning for retirement, building a legacy, or just trying to make sense of the markets,
02:06:59.320they walk you through all of it without the Wall Street nonsense.
02:07:01.860You still get the tools, the IRAs, the tax strategies, the estate planning.
02:07:06.360But with a team that shares your worldview, they don't just manage your wealth, they help you wield it wisely.
