00:00:00.740 After 19 years, they're back.
00:00:04.060 Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and the rest of the family reunite in Malcolm in the Middle, Life's Still Unfair.
00:00:09.880 After 10 years avoiding them, Hal and Lois demand Malcolm be at their anniversary party, pulling him straight back into their chaos.
00:00:16.820 Malcolm in the Middle, Life's Still Unfair, a special four-part event.
00:00:20.660 Stream now on Hulu on Disney+.
00:00:22.620 on today's podcast the never-ending adventure of chicken hawk war criminal oh my gosh i cannot take
00:00:34.180 i can't take people i just can't we try to give you the decoding ring for everything that is going
00:00:40.180 on also how the president can have adult conversations and we should be questioning
00:00:46.000 these things although i guess the new york times is trying to make this look really really bad
00:00:50.220 and what should we take from the book of Esther.
00:00:55.900 I know that sounds boring as snot, but it's not.
00:00:59.200 It relates directly to your life.
00:01:01.320 All that and more on today's podcast.
00:01:09.760 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:13.780 do you remember back in the day you know when there was always that one guy that could predict
00:01:23.240 the weather he didn't need an app didn't need a forecast just ow my grandmother was like this
00:01:28.160 my knee it's gonna rain i'm like grandma we live in seattle it always is going to rain anyway uh
00:01:34.940 you know there's i guess i guess if you're in pain that's a good thing you can figure out when
00:01:39.620 it's going to rain, you know, uh, I would prefer to leave that to the forecasters and get out of
00:01:44.920 pain. And that is what relief factor may be able to help you do. If you're in pain and it's caused
00:01:49.700 from inflammation, man, this thing was developed by doctors who focus on inflammation, the source
00:01:55.000 of most of our pain and disease. And they've come up with a supplement that will help your body
00:01:59.820 react naturally and differently. Two thirds of the people who have taken this, have tried it,
00:02:05.160 have gone on to order more month after month, and I am one of those.
00:02:08.620 This is your moment.
00:02:10.000 Take it.
00:02:10.540 They've got a new advanced formula.
00:02:12.300 If you're already taking it, you're getting the new advanced formula,
00:02:14.660 but it works better with your body than it ever has before.
00:02:18.800 Start with our three-week quick start.
00:02:20.120 It's 1995.
00:02:21.660 Relieffactor.com.
00:02:22.700 Call 800-4-RELIEF.
00:02:24.360 800, the number 4, relief.
00:02:26.760 It's relieffactor.com.
00:02:31.660 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:35.160 so let me continue with iran and the amazing chicken warmonger uh i just i'm astounded by
00:02:52.880 what is happening and uh in in this next segment i'm going to tell you the only thing that will
00:02:59.120 stop us from winning the only thing you have to worry about okay uh so let me pick it up because
00:03:08.220 i just went through let's just tally up the wins and losses here where are we 13 dead horrible gas
00:03:15.820 prices horrible and then what's happened to iran i think it's pretty clear who's winning here okay
00:03:24.580 what's hardest for me to understand is the reaction that is happening here at home
00:03:31.780 we have more people in this country that seem more invested in proving that donald trump
00:03:38.400 is the central threat than acknowledging what is happening with a regime that has spent the last
00:03:44.860 47 years exporting violence suppressing its own population executing its own people for dissent 0.66
00:03:53.620 or because they were improperly dressed as a woman, 0.55
00:03:57.220 marrying nine-year-olds off to older men, 0.54
00:04:01.900 genital mutilation, killing homosexuals because they're homosexuals,
00:04:06.460 and Donald Trump is the bad guy?
00:04:08.760 There is kind of an inversion going on here that I don't understand.
00:04:13.360 If he pushes, he's reckless.
00:04:15.240 If he pauses, he's weak.
00:04:16.800 If he strikes, he's immoral.
00:04:18.900 If he holds back, well, he's afraid.
00:04:20.820 gang i want you to hear anybody who is telling you these things today that's not analysis that's
00:04:27.880 a deep illness you can oppose the president you can oppose this war you can you can question all
00:04:35.720 of the decisions that's part of being an american that's part of the system but if every possible
00:04:43.920 outcome is suddenly automatically framed as failure or evil, you're not evaluating reality
00:04:52.080 anymore. You're just reacting to a person, and you're just trying to frame that person
00:04:56.900 into whatever you believe about that person. Meanwhile, there are Iranians who have been 0.98
00:05:02.820 living under that system, who have protested it, who have paid for it with their lives. 0.64
00:05:07.700 tens of thousands of overtime women students people asking for basic dignity between 30 and
00:05:16.260 40,000 of them were killed for marching in the street this should not be controversial that's
00:05:21.940 to say that weakening that kind of regime is not a bad thing
00:05:26.280 now let's get down to what happened last night let me give you this key to understanding
00:05:36.640 This isn't over. Hear me, hear me clearly. Anyone, anyone that is talking to you today, including me, that is outside of the room where the president gets briefed, no one knows the details of what is being discussed.
00:06:02.920 We don't even know if the people we're negotiating have the power to make things stick.
00:06:08.360 Anyone who is telling you that we are settling or we won last night, at this point, they are lying to you.
00:06:17.340 They have an agenda because they don't know.
00:06:20.580 I can't tell you we won.
00:06:22.340 I can't tell you we lost.
00:06:23.760 I can tell you my concerns.
00:06:25.600 I can tell you my hopes.
00:06:28.140 But I can't tell you what's happening.
00:06:29.940 My guess is, and this is honest, the president doesn't know for sure.
00:06:35.920 But he, at least, is trying to exercise hope.
00:06:40.980 Now, listen to this.
00:06:43.640 Exercise hope, Glenn, what do you mean?
00:06:46.080 I don't know.
00:06:47.320 A hope that maybe we can make the world safer and we can stop the killing.
00:06:55.100 Ask yourself this.
00:06:58.260 What are you hoping for?
00:06:59.940 Just ask yourself, what am I hoping for?
00:07:03.180 What are those who are pushing this narrative of taco actually hoping for?
00:07:11.740 Let me say this.
00:07:14.440 Maybe this holds.
00:07:16.220 Maybe it collapses.
00:07:18.220 Maybe we're right back where we were yesterday in two weeks.
00:07:22.460 But right now, there's a pause.
00:07:25.780 it may end in 20 minutes, but there's a pause where there wasn't one. The shipping lane that
00:07:33.800 matters to a huge portion of the world's energy flow is opening, even if temporarily.
00:07:40.060 The pressure hasn't disappeared. Our forces haven't gone away. Everything is just being
00:07:45.780 redirected. From where I sit, that looks like a position of leverage, not retreat.
00:07:50.680 I don't know about you, but I don't cheer war.
00:07:54.760 But I also am not afraid of fighting when you are up against evil.
00:08:00.020 Here's what I'm done with.
00:08:01.500 I'm done with the idea that we are supposed to rebuild every country we break
00:08:06.180 while our problems stack up at home.
00:08:09.500 If there is a path, any path, that keeps a dangerous regime contained and weakened
00:08:15.800 without dragging us into another decade-long occupation
00:08:19.620 and quagmire, I say we take a long, hard look at it.
00:08:24.080 And if it works, we avoided something far worse.
00:08:27.800 If it doesn't, we haven't lost the ability to act again.
00:08:32.900 That's what you call a win-win.
00:08:36.180 But I want you to understand, if we do go back,
00:08:40.640 the same voices are going to flip right back.
00:08:42.880 weakness right now he's weak he's a chicken it's going to become reckless he's cautious he's too
00:08:50.720 cautious it's going to become dangerous the labels will change the certainty from the people saying it 0.57
00:08:57.100 will not that part is not about Iran that part is about us
00:09:08.160 Let me give you one more thought on this.
00:09:19.500 Have you been watching what our military is capable of?
00:09:23.860 It should be something that you look at with admiration and just a wee bit of horror.
00:09:31.880 because if this is what we're capable of today,
00:09:36.960 imagine when we get robotics and AI.
00:09:41.520 This has always been the most powerful military
00:09:44.480 in the history of the world.
00:09:46.200 Not like this.
00:09:48.020 Not like this.
00:09:50.480 There is no place to hide.
00:09:52.900 If the United States government wants you dead,
00:09:56.080 you will be dead.
00:09:58.640 There is no question in my mind.
00:10:01.880 what this military can do.
00:10:07.040 Again, horror and pride, or gratitude, better, gratitude.
00:10:21.120 What's going to stop this military? 1.00
00:10:24.400 What is going to stop us from beating Iran, of all places? 0.93
00:10:29.420 Because there is something. 1.00
00:10:30.740 There's one thing.
00:10:31.400 It'll stop us. It'll stop us dead in our tracks. We are guaranteed to lose because of one thing.
00:10:38.780 What is that one thing that would cause us to lose?
00:10:45.380 The American people. That's it.
00:10:51.040 There's nothing that's going to stop this military.
00:10:53.840 There's nothing that's going to make sure that's going to stop the Strait of Hormuz from being open.
00:11:00.260 nothing, nothing, except us. The Iranians are not going to push us back. 0.96
00:11:12.720 The Iranians are not going to suddenly get an upper hand militarily. It will be us.
00:11:22.740 Because somehow or another, somehow or another, it's not that we don't want war. That's not enough.
00:11:30.260 I understand not wanting war.
00:11:32.800 I get that.
00:11:34.840 We are in a place now where a lot of Americans don't want us to win.
00:11:41.660 They want the other side to win.
00:11:49.640 I don't even know how to deal with that.
00:11:57.860 I don't even know how to deal with that.
00:12:01.080 Because that's lunatic thinking.
00:12:05.920 These are lunatics you're dealing with.
00:12:08.740 These are religious zealots, out-of-their-mind religious zealots,
00:12:12.880 who get up every day and pray for the end of the West and America.
00:12:20.660 And somehow or another, they're the oppressed.
00:12:23.820 They're the ones that people are rooting for.
00:12:26.020 And I don't even think you're actually even rooting for them.
00:12:29.080 You are just rooting for our president to fail.
00:12:32.360 You know what I said the day that Barack Obama was elected
00:12:37.120 and everybody on the right was so upset.
00:12:39.660 And I said, gang, it's going to be tough
00:12:43.160 because you're going to do a lot of things we don't like.
00:12:45.300 But we cannot root for his demise
00:12:48.260 because his demise means our demise.
00:12:59.080 let me give you one other thing and this this is the one thing that i really want you to take
00:13:08.600 from all of this i said earlier nobody knows how this is going to turn out god does we don't we
00:13:14.520 have no idea how this is going to turn out i know this if we allow them to you know build nukes and
00:13:22.700 and rich uranium, if we allow them to control the Strait of Hormuz, then I will clearly say,
00:13:29.200 that's a loss. That's a loss. But we're not there yet. Not even close to that.
00:13:35.780 You don't even know what's true and what's propaganda from either side. You have no idea.
00:13:41.300 Why do we constantly borrow trouble? Why are we constantly worrying about things we can't do
00:13:48.200 anything about it it is it is such a puzzlement to me that we sit here and we worry about
00:13:56.900 negotiations that we have no idea what's going on we worry about all of these yesterday how many
00:14:06.320 people i saw a woman on the side of the street holding a sign that said he's gonna get us all
00:14:12.080 killed and it had a nuclear mushroom cloud. Do you realize how out of your mind you have to be
00:14:20.320 to really believe that he was going to launch a nuke yesterday? But everybody's worried about
00:14:25.880 things they cannot control. Meanwhile, the things like the Islamization of America, 1.00
00:14:33.440 nobody wants to worry about. The things that you actually need to pay attention to, 1.00
00:14:39.500 that you actually can do something about people don't want to worry about.
00:14:44.000 They don't even want to think about it.
00:14:45.320 But they will think about nuclear war yesterday and worry about that 0.59
00:14:50.280 or worry about how we're going to give Iran the Strait of Hormuz,
00:14:54.700 which is insanity to even think.
00:14:56.940 But who knows?
00:14:57.800 Crazier things have happened lately.
00:14:59.660 Maybe it does.
00:15:00.960 Why not wait until it actually happens?
00:15:04.820 Why not wait?
00:15:06.160 Why not save all of that frustration for something that matters?
00:15:11.600 That will matter if it happens.
00:15:15.140 If it doesn't, why are you wearing yourself out?
00:15:17.820 Of course everybody is tired.
00:15:19.600 We're fighting battles we don't even have to fight.
00:15:23.820 Stop fighting useless battles.
00:15:27.000 Stop looking for trouble.
00:15:29.000 Stop imagining things that you can't, no one can tell you what the truth even is today.
00:15:42.380 Why don't we just hope and pray for the right outcome?
00:15:49.360 Whatever the Lord wants it to be, let's pray for the right outcome.
00:15:54.520 let's hope for that i don't know have we lost the ability to hope because i haven't
00:16:04.020 and i refuse to i am hoping that this actually works out and i am leaving room still for it
00:16:12.340 could go horribly but today this is all i know and i'm going to live in that little world where
00:16:19.100 I can have hope today. Let me tell you about American financing. Ever notice how easy it is
00:16:25.460 to get used to a number, your monthly payment? Okay. I mean, at first they feel big, you know,
00:16:32.060 you really notice them and then you think about them. And then over time, they just become part
00:16:36.220 of the background because you're used to it and it comes out every month and you pay it every month
00:16:39.380 and you stop questioning them. You stop asking, hey, could this be lower? Could this be structured
00:16:44.200 differently? You know, could it be working in my favor instead of against me? You just accept them.
00:16:50.980 But that number isn't fixed. If you're a homeowner, you may have equity built up that could be working
00:16:55.400 for you right now, helping you pay off the high interest debt, consolidate payments, free up
00:17:01.160 monthly cash flow. And the important part is you don't have to guess at it and it doesn't have to
00:17:06.560 reset your very low mortgage that you might have gotten years ago. American financing has a salary
00:17:13.500 based mortgage consultant waiting for you right now that can walk you through all of the options
00:17:17.360 and see what's actually possible because sometimes the biggest financial shift is just revisiting the
00:17:22.040 number you stopped looking about and looking at and thinking about a long time ago there are no
00:17:26.300 upfront fees find out if you're qualified right now at american financing 800-906-2440 it's 800-906-2440

00:17:43.320 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
00:17:48.420 Kind of out of the blue, I guess.
00:17:51.740 You know, it's interesting to me that we are living history over again.
00:17:59.780 It seems to me, and I have been, I've wondered for 20 years,
00:18:04.980 I remember talking about 1968-69, what was going on,
00:18:08.820 and the strife that was happening in the country,
00:18:11.760 and the riots in Chicago, and Altamont,
00:18:15.080 and all of the things that, they were so close to winning.
00:18:19.780 And then NASA launched a rocket, and we put a man on the moon.
00:18:26.780 And it was that summer, I think, that really everything changed.
00:18:30.120 And after that, something else happened.
00:18:35.920 The Jesus movement happened.
00:18:38.820 I mean, Time Magazine called it the Jesus Revolution.
00:18:41.460 It was like 1970, 71, and we swung from this really radical destroy everything to this
00:18:50.540 beautiful Jesus movement, and I'm just seeing all of the pieces repeat themselves, or at
00:18:57.800 least rhyme.
00:18:59.140 A lot of it is rhyming, and this last week, we've heard a lot of talk about God, and we've
00:19:06.640 heard a lot of talk about God in space. So the NASA astronaut, Victor Glover, as they were getting
00:19:14.360 ready to go to cut communication and go to the dark side of the moon, where they are alone in
00:19:19.880 space with just their thoughts, 250,000 miles out in space, farther than anybody's ever been.
00:19:26.280 he talks about god and um so rational reasoner i don't know who that is um he replies
00:19:38.160 no respect for victor keep it to yourself just enjoy the 100 scientifically managed ride around
00:19:45.200 the moon you're not praying the rocket into space victor the foxhole stuff is factually incorrect
00:19:51.700 respect and it does as if it discounts bravery. Um, if anything, it lowers your respect even
00:19:58.020 further. Okay. So he goes on and he's all hostile about it. And I don't know why people have to be
00:20:03.380 so hostile. I mean, you don't believe in God. You don't believe in God. That's fine. Um, why do,
00:20:08.380 why do you have to be right? Why do you have to be right? Um, and you know, honestly it gives
00:20:14.660 people, I mean, I'm just looking at it as, as somebody who, if I were atheist, this way I would
00:20:18.500 look at it. It lets people feel good. It helps them be better people. What is the problem?
00:20:24.840 I've said to people who have a problem with my faith, okay, it has made me a better man.
00:20:31.560 How can you possibly be against that? Even if it's a lie, which it's not, even if it was a
00:20:37.580 total lie, it has made me a much better man. That's a good thing, isn't it? Shouldn't we be
00:20:44.500 cheering that on. And if your atheism makes you a better person, great. I cheer you on. Good for
00:20:50.680 you. But the response to this, the really great response came from George Rush. He's a guy who
00:20:59.020 works and I can't say where he works because I don't know what his deal is because we're trying
00:21:04.120 to get him on tomorrow. I think maybe he'll be on tomorrow with us. And I know where he works.
00:21:09.940 He builds rockets, okay? And he said, when I was building the spacecraft, one of our engineers
00:21:17.880 would stand behind us while we were laying wire harnesses and read from the Bible. We would
00:21:24.160 sometimes pray before a large operation. He brought his Bible into the clean room and privately
00:21:31.780 prayed over a vehicle before we sent it into test. I'm pretty sure he prayed over the Orion
00:21:38.600 that is being flown on Artemis II as well.
00:21:40.960 The Orion team was just as religious,
00:21:44.300 if not more religious, than we were.
00:21:46.860 We are the science,
00:21:49.120 and we're glad astronaut Glover is as faithful as us.
00:21:54.660 They didn't pray the rocket into space.
00:21:57.520 They used science,
00:21:59.360 but they prayed that they would do things right,
00:22:03.100 that they would be at the top of their game,
00:22:05.180 that there would be a bigger purpose for all of this.
00:22:11.780 How is that a problem?
00:22:12.960 You don't believe in magic?
00:22:16.480 You know, if you listen to podcasts,
00:22:19.020 if you're online at all, watching X,
00:22:21.760 you might have heard people talking about
00:22:23.900 the book of Esther recently
00:22:26.800 and how this is just a story of Persian genocide
00:22:33.520 and it shouldn't even be in the Bible because God's not even mentioned in the Bible and they
00:22:38.040 don't even know why. I'm not going to get involved in any of the podcast wars. I think it's ridiculous
00:22:43.700 that, you know, stop telling people who you're supposed to hate today. Okay. I don't care. I
00:22:48.840 don't care, but I do care about facts and I do care about this story and I do care about this
00:22:54.860 being discussed and it's good that it's being discussed, but can I add some context to this
00:22:59.900 conversation because it's really important. To say that the book of Esther is about Persian
00:23:06.760 genocide is ridiculous. It means you really don't know the story. It's the story of God
00:23:13.600 using the bravery of everyday people to save them from genocide. Esther was a Jewish woman.
00:23:21.800 She was raised by her uncle Mordecai in the Persian empire. She was plucked from obscurity
00:23:27.880 and given to the king of Persia in a marriage because she was so beautiful.
00:23:33.740 But it wasn't her beauty that saved her in the end.
00:23:36.220 It was her courage.
00:23:38.680 An advisor to the king, her husband, named Haman,
00:23:42.320 plotted to kill and plotted a genocide to kill every Jew.
00:23:48.840 And Esther was asked to risk her life to go to the king.
00:23:53.440 But you don't go to the king unless you're summoned.
00:23:56.000 If you're summoned, then you can go, and then you can do whatever you want.
00:24:00.060 You can talk to him and plead for the king to intervene.
00:24:02.800 But if she's not summoned, he could execute her.
00:24:05.760 And she went in there knowing that she was probably going to be executed.
00:24:10.680 Her uncle came to her and said one of the most famous lines in the Bible to convince her,
00:24:16.720 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance from the Jews will arise from another place. 0.59
00:24:22.780 And who knows, but you have come to your royal position for such a time as this. 0.98
00:24:32.800 You were put here for the time in which you find yourself.
00:24:38.980 She goes to the king. He doesn't execute her.
00:24:42.540 She says, look, Haman is trying to kill.
00:24:46.540 The king eventually kills him, but there's a catch.
00:24:50.100 The king had signed a decree, and in that system, once you had a decree and it was issued,
00:24:55.900 you could not reverse it or call it off. The law stood. So the killing of the Jews planned by Haman
00:25:02.420 was still scheduled, and so the king wanted to stop it, but he couldn't, so he said,
00:25:08.020 I'm going to put a second decree out, and that will give Jews the legal right to defend themselves 0.59
00:25:14.100 if a person, if a person, Persian comes to kill them. And that is what happened. It was violent. 1.00
00:25:21.720 It was ugly. And the death toll was large enough to get anybody to stop and think twice. But it
00:25:28.520 was not a campaign to wipe out Persians. It was a response to a state-backed plan to wipe out the
00:25:34.280 Jews. You can call it a lot of things. You can call it civil conflict, bloodshed, self-defense,
00:25:42.260 but calling it genocide flips the entire story on the head and shows that you don't know what
00:25:45.920 you're talking about and it treats the response as if it were the original intent and it wasn't
00:25:52.040 the intent was already written down it was stamped it was sent out before esther ever stepped forward
00:25:56.880 okay that's not the important part for me of esther that's not why i'm telling you i just
00:26:02.320 want to correct the story but i want to talk to you about why i think the story was written down
00:26:08.520 in the first place, because this is the stranger part. This podcaster said, you know, God's not
00:26:14.920 even mentioned in this. Why would you put it in the Bible if God's not even mentioned? He's
00:26:18.840 nowhere in the book. Not once is he mentioned. Yeah. And if you knew history, you would know
00:26:26.100 that the author of this book did that most likely on purpose. Everywhere in the Bible, you know,
00:26:33.180 it's always like God going, Glenn, you need to build an ark. And I'm like, I don't know how to
00:26:38.980 do that. Build an ark. And so you go, I'm building an ark. But how many times has that happened to
00:26:44.200 you? Because it doesn't happen to me like that. I don't know anybody where it happens like that.
00:26:50.720 Esther is to show you how God works in everyday life.
00:26:57.420 You look back on what you did. You're like, I don't know. Should I do that?
00:27:00.800 I am in this position. Should I say something? Should I not? And then you have the courage to
00:27:06.420 do it, and then that's one piece, and that triggers something else, and it's all a string
00:27:12.640 of coincidence. That's how God works. God doesn't say, hey, do this. Most of us don't get a burning
00:27:20.860 bush moment like that. We get an idea. We get a feeling we should do the right thing, and then
00:27:25.900 we have to run with it. If the text had plainly just said, God did this, God moved here, God told
00:27:34.360 them to do this, you'd read it and move on and you'd be like, God never told me to do anything.
00:27:38.400 And you'd file it under miracle and close the book. But Esther is like us. When you read her
00:27:47.200 story, it just seems like everything falls into place. A queen at the right place, a well-timed
00:27:54.920 advice from an uncle, a sequence of decisions that, you know, taken one at a time, each of them
00:28:01.140 are ordinary. But when you step back from it, do this with your life, step back from your life.
00:28:08.380 It's pretty miraculous that you are where you are. And if you don't recognize that, you need to take
00:28:14.240 a look at your life again, because a lot of things have come together to put you into the good
00:28:19.060 position that you're in. Even if you think you're in a horrible position, you're really not.
00:28:24.920 this writer wrote it for you, the common person.
00:28:32.500 This writer forces you into a corner.
00:28:35.580 Either this is just a chain of coincidence that just happens to save an entire people
00:28:40.680 at the exact moment they're marked for death,
00:28:43.500 or God works in a different way without announcing himself.
00:28:48.780 this is so important because this is where we are i am convinced that god is working through
00:28:59.060 all of us all of us and we have to wrestle with the invisible the unnamed hand guiding everything
00:29:07.060 in our own lives
00:29:09.340 you don't need to read the word god in esther's story to see god everywhere in it
00:29:16.700 God shows up in the humanness of the doubt, of the humanness of the fear, and then God is the
00:29:25.020 clear force that drives Esther to make the impossible choice to risk her life to save
00:29:30.220 people when she could have stayed quiet and lived a life of luxury while everyone else was massacred.
00:29:37.960 God's not written in the words.
00:29:39.800 It's written in their actions, in human actions, in your actions.
00:29:50.100 We need Esther in the Bible to remind us to do the right thing,
00:29:53.560 even when we're not sure God is even looking.
00:29:59.640 And if you do that throughout your life, I promise you,
00:30:02.760 you will look back on your life and you will see how everything just lined up perfectly
00:30:09.400 and you will see God everywhere.
00:30:14.740 That, my friend, is why God is not mentioned in Esther.
00:30:21.420 That, my friend, is why Esther is included in the Bible. 0.53
00:30:28.460 Hello, America.
00:30:29.420 You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:30:31.220 We push back against the lies, the censorship,
00:30:33.980 the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:30:37.240 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:30:42.460 But to keep this fight going, we need you right now.
00:30:45.480 Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:30:48.640 Give 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.
00:30:57.440 This isn't a podcast.
00:30:58.780 This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:31:02.160 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:31:07.240 Rate, review, share.
00:31:08.980 Together, we'll make a difference.
00:31:11.100 And thanks for standing with us.
00:31:12.360 Now let's get to work.
00:31:13.540 So Maggie Haberman in the New York Times has a story out now that says that everybody,
00:31:20.620 everybody in the cabinet was against the war in Iran.
00:31:26.460 And she's got all these inside quotes and everything else.
00:31:29.160 And everybody was telling Donald Trump not to do it, but he just wouldn't listen to them.
00:31:33.700 And apparently this is supposed to be a bad thing. Can I just point out a couple of things?
00:31:41.340 the the democrats don't allow dissent you are not allowed to disagree you disagree on life
00:31:55.520 you're out you disagree on you know uh dei you're out you disagree on global warming
00:32:04.420 you're out you disagree on anything and you are out you're an enemy here is the cabinet
00:32:14.840 according to Maggie Haberman whether it's true or not she usually has good sources but whether
00:32:18.980 it's true or not I don't know but she's claiming that the cabinet it was against the war okay
00:32:26.760 hey, why is that a problem?
00:32:30.160 This is probably the most important thing we should talk about.
00:32:35.360 This is probably the most important thing we should all not be in lockstep on,
00:32:41.740 and we should have a debate.
00:32:44.140 So the president walks into the cabinet room and they debate it.
00:32:48.120 Isn't that what a cabinet should do?
00:32:51.960 and you know what you notice what didn't happen two things really important did not happen
00:32:58.720 he didn't fire everybody because they disagreed with him
00:33:02.200 donald trump actually likes to have alternative voices it keeps him in check i know i've been
00:33:10.740 around him i've i've seen him talk to people i have friends who have talked to him and said
00:33:15.660 really bad idea Mr. President really bad idea why I have said really bad idea Mr. President
00:33:22.600 really why tell me and you will and he doesn't fire you he doesn't banish you to Siberia you're
00:33:31.840 no longer you know you can't be part of the party anymore that's what Democrats do he doesn't do
00:33:37.580 that isn't it important to have people who disagree especially on something like this war
00:33:45.080 shouldn't we applaud that there was a discussion first of all biden didn't have cabinet meetings
00:33:54.500 his cabinet never met this guy is having cabinet meetings and now we find out
00:34:01.500 that he had a discussion and they disagreed and then we find out and he chose his own path
00:34:10.440 Even though they disagreed, the president, who is the duly elected person, chose his own path and he didn't fire them. And here's the other thing, the second thing you need to take from this.
00:34:24.740 and what did they do like all good governments like all good teams do
00:34:32.640 when you you advise and consent you advise mr president i think this is a very bad idea
00:34:43.600 glenn tell me about that well this point this point this point this point i thought about it
00:34:48.700 i i disagree with you on point number one and two but i've also thought of that and i just
00:34:53.580 that third point because of this. So I'm going to do it anyway. Mr. President, it is your decision
00:35:01.040 to make. I'm not the president. I advise and I consent. Now, you can quit and that's perfectly
00:35:13.720 healthy. I really disagreed with this and I quit because I cannot be a part of that.
00:35:20.660 and that has happened in the past. They didn't quit and they weren't fired. They weren't stifled.
00:35:27.740 Instead, they did what all good teams do. You discuss it, you hash it out, you might even have
00:35:34.040 a brawl over it, but then once the decision is made, you work as a team to do and execute
00:35:41.300 what the decision maker has said we're doing. I haven't seen that in a long time.
00:35:50.660 I mean, without threats.
00:35:52.160 I haven't seen that in a long time.
00:35:55.300 That's the way an American team should work.
00:35:59.120 And Maggie, I'm glad you exposed this.
00:36:02.220 I'm glad that you show that the president doesn't fire people when they disagree with him, that he can have adult conversations.
00:36:13.360 That's the way it should be.
00:36:14.520 This is the most important thing any of us can talk about.
00:36:17.340 This is why I've been, since the day it happened, I have come on the air with you every day and I say, I don't know how this is going to work out. Here's what I feel. Here's what I'm thinking. Here's what I suspect is happening. Here's the way I'm looking at this. But I don't know. It could turn out horribly, and we should never silence.
00:36:36.040 you are not a traitor for being against the war. You're not. You are not a traitor for saying,
00:36:43.980 I disagree with this. I think this is dangerous. That doesn't make you a traitor. That makes you
00:36:48.840 a patriot. The same can be said and should be said by you to people who say, I've done my
00:36:55.360 thinking on this, and I think this is good. I think this is the right thing to do. You could
00:37:01.520 disagree with that, but they are a patriot as well. Where you fail to be a patriot is when you
00:37:07.020 try to silence the other side. And you notice that's what the president didn't do here. And if
00:37:17.440 we were living in a place where there was a king or he was a dictator, Maggie Haberman would be in 0.95
00:37:23.920 jail at best. No dictator, no king would allow that to be printed. It's printed. It's out.
00:37:35.940 And he's not going after Maggie Haberman. And he's not going after his cabinet. You know who
00:37:41.260 he is going after? Somebody who in his own either defense department or cabinet, we don't know who
00:37:48.080 it was. We don't know who it was, but somebody leaked and said, yeah, there's the second pilot
00:37:55.740 that is out that almost got one of our people killed because of that leak. That leak he's upset
00:38:04.080 about. And he's not upset at the press. He's saying, due to national security, I want to ask
00:38:11.060 the people that work at that press organization to tell me who leaked it, because that is a
00:38:17.220 violation of national security. That could have gotten that person killed and could have gotten
00:38:23.100 all of our troops killed. We had 100 special forces down on the ground looking in this one
00:38:28.700 area. They could have gotten everybody killed. You don't do that in war. But of course, he's a
00:38:36.980 dictator because of that. But they don't notice he's not a dictator when it comes to Maggie
00:38:41.620 Haberman. Isn't that odd? I think that's the theme of today's show, the hypocrisy. I can't
00:38:49.740 take it, even from our own side. I just can't take it. We should be able to have conversations
00:38:56.980 that are controversial and be able to still look at each other, have reasonable conversations,
00:39:02.800 and still look at each other and say, I really so strongly disagree with you, but
00:39:07.960 thank you for that point of view. Thank you. And then when the decision is made,
00:39:14.780 that's the other thing that's so frustrating about this whole thing to me is
00:39:17.620 the decision's been made. And we can advise, we can advise. But we've gone from,
00:39:28.540 hey, I don't think this is right. I should let my voice be heard to my senators, to my president.
00:39:37.960 we've gone to letting the whole world know that we think our president is a war 0.52
00:39:46.960 monker. We think our hope, our president will vaporize everybody that we think he's a war
00:39:53.800 criminal. You know, WLW in Cincinnati, a legendary radio station, WLW in Cincinnati
00:40:02.540 uh was the first i think it was a million watt transmitter i'm trying to remember
00:40:08.580 is that a million watt or a hundred thousand watt it was something that's never been made
00:40:13.340 ever again i think it was a million watts um and it would have been heard not only coast to coast
00:40:19.740 700 wlw would have been heard around the world okay because at night because of the way am uh
00:40:29.020 radio works, it would hit the ionosphere and it would skip and you would be able to hear it
00:40:33.340 in Europe. So they spend all this money and RCA develops all this technology and they put this
00:40:41.760 million watt transmitter in. It was never used. It was never used. Why? Because Cincinnati was
00:40:51.680 known as heartland. Cincinnati was not reflecting the views of New York or Washington. It was the
00:41:01.360 views of the heartland. And FDR said, we cannot afford to have Germany or Italy or Spain hearing
00:41:10.620 the views of the heartland. We can't have that because it will give them information about how
00:41:19.040 our people are thinking that they shouldn't have. Let them at least work for it. But we are all on
00:41:26.100 X thinking that it's just going to be us. It's just going to be us. It's just, I'm just, I'm just
00:41:31.880 putting it out there. You are giving our enemies all kinds of ammunition. You are teaching them
00:41:40.620 everything they need to know on how to hit you, how to hit our country. And nobody's thinking
00:41:47.740 about that. Nobody's thinking about the power of them, the power of their one comment.
00:41:56.940 And you know what? We're not going to get people to think about it. We're just not.
00:42:01.740 I would like to challenge you to think about it. And not that you're what you're posting,
00:42:07.660 but who you're reading, who you're following. Start unfollowing some of these people.
00:42:13.520 If they told you yesterday that Donald Trump was going to nuke everything, they have no credibility.
00:42:20.900 You should just stop following them. Stop listening to them.
00:42:25.080 If they told you he was going to be a war criminal yesterday and now he's a chicken hawk, they have no credibility.
00:42:33.420 Stop. Stop putting those kinds of things into your mind.
00:42:38.580 Because not only do those tweets actually affect the whole world, it affects you personally.
00:42:49.720 Every time you put one of those messages into your head, it sticks there.
00:42:56.580 I want you to look at everybody you're reading today and say, what is it they're hoping for?
00:43:02.360 because there are those who are hoping for the destruction of Donald Trump over the destruction 0.92
00:43:08.440 of the evil regime in Iran. They're hoping for the destruction of Trump. 0.61
00:43:15.900 The way some people are presenting themselves, again, it is patriotic to disagree with war.
00:43:24.360 But the way you are being presented so much, so many people are presenting it,
00:43:30.600 It is the cheering on of the destruction of America, the loss for America.
00:43:38.740 We should all realize this war is happening.
00:43:41.880 We're in it.
00:43:42.900 We're in it.
00:43:43.680 We don't control the end of it.
00:43:45.960 We can protest.
00:43:47.340 We can speak out.
00:43:48.340 But we should do so responsibly because I don't want America to lose.
00:43:59.700 what is it that the people you're reading are hoping for today i am hoping for a peaceful
00:44:06.720 conclusion one that we can live with one that defangs declaws and hopefully i mean in my 0.97
00:44:13.200 wildest dreams the people of of iran are set free and can be themselves from these religious 0.64
00:44:20.700 zealot monsters but i don't know if that's going to happen but i don't want them controlling the
00:44:27.360 straights. I don't want them to be exporting terror. That's a win, and I'm very clear on that. 1.00
00:44:34.400 We can't do all this and then just go back to the way it was. That's not a win. That's not a win.
00:44:41.660 That's what I'm hoping for. Why is it everyone is either hoping or telling you that we've already
00:44:49.460 lost? Unfollow those people. Don't put that poison into your own head.
