Glenn Beck is back with another hour of the best of the Glenn Beck Show! Today, Glenn talks about the slowdown in growth, what it means for the stock market, and why the president is not a stupid son of a bitch.
00:00:00.000Hey, another great show today. Another great, great podcast. You don't want to miss a second of it.
00:00:05.300We talk a lot about the Great Reset and what's coming with the economy.
00:00:09.300It's really important that you understand and understand what just happened in a war game with just about every Western country in the world.
00:00:19.620It's very important that you understand that. We give you the report from Reuters that nobody is looking at.
00:00:26.120But also, you know, people look at things that are happening around the world, especially if you are a Christian and you believe in end times stuff.
00:00:36.900You look at that and you're like, oh, man, that's the end of the world. It's not actually. It's actually really good stuff.
00:00:41.840And to put this into perspective, we have found a scholar in Israel that I think you're really going to enjoy in hour number two.
00:00:52.740An hour number one happened so long ago. I have absolutely no idea what we did.
00:00:57.260Talked about hostess pancakes. What if they took cupcakes, made them into pancakes and grilled them for breakfast?
00:01:04.900It's a great. We have to do that hour. Write that down. Here's the podcast.
00:01:09.500You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:24.540Well, it looks like growth. The growth slowdown, Morgan Stanley says now, is going to spark a 10 percent stock plunge.
00:01:32.980That would be that would be fine, wouldn't it?
00:01:36.280They're saying that investors need to understand the collision between tightening the Federal Reserve and slowing growth.
00:01:46.760They say that with what's happening already in the stock market, we could be headed for more trouble because the growth is not there.
00:01:56.960Now, it's weird that people are talking about growth because I don't know about you, Stu, but I have not heard anybody talking about growth, you know, actual economic growth for two years.
00:02:06.200And that didn't seem to affect the stock market.
00:02:08.280No. Yeah. Seems like we were just pumping money into it to make it go up and stay up.
00:02:14.080Yeah, exactly. Eventually, that doesn't work, though.
00:02:18.640It would be great if we just printed money forever and everything went up and everything got better.
00:02:22.960There are usually consequences to those actions.
00:02:25.540Yeah. OK, so Joe Biden has put together a group of experts, which I love.
00:02:31.700I don't know about you, but I haven't had enough of experts telling me what's coming and telling me what to do and how they're going to fix things.
00:07:25.240He's a kind old doddering grandfather who probably should have a little bit more of his medication.
00:07:31.700Now, again, my problem is not with this doddering old man who absolutely has no clue as to what's going on and is angry most of the time because I don't think he understands.
00:07:43.200He doesn't understand what's happening in the world anymore.
00:07:50.380So, he believes his own bullcrap as the solution.
00:07:54.140He said yesterday, not a thing is going to be changed.
00:07:57.800He's not changing course at all because he's right.
00:08:00.160I just would like to remind you again of, I don't remember, was it his last year before the re-election or his at the end of his first year?
00:10:00.480Now he said back in 2018, calling a journalist a son of a bitch.
00:10:05.520It was wrong when Trump was just a candidate and it's even worse now that he's POTUS.
00:10:09.900And it's a clip from his own newsletter where I guess he said that and he highlighted potential journalists to threats and intimidation, which is the way he saw that back in 2018.
00:11:53.120It's really all of this were conservatives.
00:11:55.260It's all about you just covering for Bill Clinton.
00:11:59.020Bill Clinton's only trying to get off the front page.
00:12:01.060That's why he bombed the baby aspirin company.
00:12:04.820It has nothing to do with the danger of this guy called Osama bin Laden.
00:12:09.580And when I said, no, you should read his words within 10 years, blood, body and buildings will be in the streets of New York City and it'll have this guy's name on it.
00:12:18.420They said, no, it's different this time.
00:15:39.640So thank you so much for being on the program.
00:15:42.140I have not read your book yet, but I have talked to friends who have and it is on my list of books to read because they they have all said to me, you have an amazing perspective and a different perspective when you're looking at, you know, Bible prophecy.
00:16:01.020And you say we are the luckiest generation to live since the time of Christ.
00:16:10.040I believe that we are not only the luckiest, we are the greatest generation.
00:16:15.380Now, I know that that term reserved to veterans of World War Two for what they did, but I'm talking about being the greatest generation by ways of looking at what God is doing.
00:16:27.260Never in the history since the first century, a generation witnessed so many Bible prophecies being fulfilled as our generation is.
00:16:37.520And when I wrote this book together with my friends, this book is a picture of what is going on in the Middle East, but it's also a picture of the faithfulness of God to his word and his promises.
00:16:54.720You know, I actually mentioned a drone attack on on the Burj Khalifa.
00:17:01.320I mentioned that in my book, and this is the talk right now all over the news from the side of the Houthis, by the way.
00:17:09.200And the reason why I think that it's important is because the Bible gives us tools to understand the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, but also to understand what is really going on all around the world.
00:17:25.020See, I'm not surprised by any of those things that are happening now, because I believe in Bible prophecy.
00:17:37.760I know just by looking at what God said, sometimes 2,600 years ago, sometimes 2,000 years ago, but it's all written for us not to scare, but to prepare.
00:17:52.140Okay, so let me go into you a bit, because you, if I'm not mistaken, you were in an orphanage for a while, and then as a teenager, you just became very depressed and wanted to end your own life.
00:18:30.480And then I remember I studied together for the final exams in high school with a friend of mine, whom I found to be a Jew who believes in the Old and the New Testament, a Messianic Jew, a Jewish believer in Yeshua, in Jesus.
00:18:46.160And I started asking questions, because, you know, for me, it's very odd.
00:18:49.980It's very, you know, Jews don't believe in Jesus.
00:19:03.820So I started reading the books of Isaiah and Jeremiah and Micah and all of them.
00:19:10.820And I could not believe that I can see—I mean, literally, I could see everything that the New Testament later on said already there in the Old Testament.
00:19:21.140And I realized that God provided 2,000 years ago for me not only a way to have peace with him.
00:19:31.920I mean, that's—one of the names of Jesus is Prince of Peace, Sal Shalom in Hebrew.
00:19:37.720There is no more war between us and God.
00:23:09.920I will tell you that I really, it cemented in my mind that this is the new global religion.
00:23:15.660When Notre Dame came out and said, we are redesigning Notre Dame to be a temple for the earth and a temple for social justice, it was very clear that this is a religion.
00:25:12.940And they tell him all the bad things that happened that weekend.
00:25:16.880And he called his own disciples, oh, foolish ones and slow of heart, to believe that which the prophets have said.
00:25:27.380Ought not the Messiah to have suffered all of these things?
00:25:29.980In other words, Jesus said, if you only believe, not just read in the synagogue, if you believed that which the prophets have said, you would have understood that I had to die for you.
00:25:42.780This is exactly what Isaiah 53 is all about.
00:25:45.700You would have understood that I am to resurrect, because Isaiah predicted my resurrection.
00:25:50.540You would have understood that that was the price that had to be paid.
00:25:53.760There is no first coming Messiah to reign and rule over sinful people, and that's it.
00:27:02.180What are you seeing that is being fulfilled so rapidly?
00:27:07.900Well, first of all, most of Bible prophecy is talking about the area where I'm from in the Middle East.
00:27:15.380You know, in fact, Bible prophecy is not about nations and their relations between themselves.
00:27:21.360It's about nations and their relations to Israel, the people, or the land.
00:27:24.920So in order to understand fulfillment of Bible prophecy, we have to zoom out of America, fly all the way to the Middle East, zoom in, and look at what is going on there.
00:27:35.840Now, our generation is seeing fulfillment of Ezekiel in chapter 36 and 37, and we're on the verge of chapter 30.
00:27:43.300We're watching the rebirth of Israel, which is something no one can explain in earthly explanation.
00:27:53.120Even Israelis don't have a way to explain that.
00:27:56.820I mean, we're a country almost 74 years old, surrounded by enemies all around.
00:28:01.820Even the Yemenite Houthis are saying today that they're thinking about start sending ballistic missiles towards Israel also.
00:28:10.780There's always someone around there that wants to destroy us.
00:28:13.800But God, and that's it, but God, God rescued us from the ashes of the Holocaust.
00:28:20.120He brought us physically to the land, and he revived the land that was dead for 2,000 years.
00:28:26.180He revived the language that was forgotten for 2,000 years.
00:28:29.640And he connected the people with the land again, just as he said.
00:28:34.200And now we're watching Israel on the verge of another big war, a war that will, and that is exactly what Ezekiel in chapter 38 talks about.
00:28:43.800A war that now will be with Rosh, which is Russia, with Gomer and Togamor, which is Turkey of today, and Iran, Persia.
00:30:16.060According to the Bible, Jerusalem has to come back to our hands.
00:30:20.000There's no doubt, because Messiah has to come back to the Jewish people, to Jerusalem.
00:30:25.320The Antichrist wants to build the temple in Jerusalem and to declare himself as God.
00:30:30.520Israel must be back in the land, and the temple has to be rebuilt.
00:30:35.040Okay, so President Trump declared Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, like no other president before.
00:30:41.460He not only did that, he moved the embassy to Jerusalem,
00:30:43.940and by that, he put an end to this charade of where the embassy of the superpower of the world is going to come.
00:30:52.700This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:31:04.080One thing, my good friend, Billy Halliwell at Faithwire, who brought our guest to my attention, Amir Soufati.
00:31:11.980He is the founder and president of Behold Israel.
00:31:15.880He's written a book called Operation Yolkton, and we were just talking about the significance of Donald Trump
00:31:25.760declaring the capital of Israel, Jerusalem, and how that plays, and so does Joe Biden plays a role in the future, you think?
00:31:38.020Yes, I believe so, but let me just say one last thing about President Trump.
00:31:44.600Because a lot of people tend to ridicule him as someone who is not, I don't know, intellectual enough or smart enough for the political work.
00:31:54.760I think he's by far the most brilliant president I've ever seen sitting in the White House.
00:31:59.480And I tell you why from an Israeli perspective.
00:32:01.880He could see what's going on with Russia right now.
00:32:04.520He could see that Russia will threaten the energy supply into Europe.
00:32:09.500And he already worked hard that the Israelis will extract their gas and have another alternative gas pipe to Europe.
00:32:17.220And as of yesterday, we learned that the current administration is against that alternative gas pipe.
00:32:25.080Now, we have the East Mediterranean pipe.
00:32:28.700Germany wanted to have another one with Russia, the Nord Stream 2, which unfortunately the Biden administration agreed to.
00:32:36.020And now we see that Russia becomes, once again, the major player in not only what's going on in the Middle East, but in what's going on in Europe.
00:32:45.000And now I'm moving to the role of President Biden, I believe.
00:32:50.340Because, look, again, I have to remind you that Bible prophecy is about what is going on in the Middle East.
00:32:56.980And we see that the only way Russia could pose a threat to Israel together with Iran and Turkey is when there is someone weak in the White House.
00:33:10.760And what we see today is exactly happening.
00:33:14.880We see that in the White House, there is someone that is no longer seeing Israel as the greatest ally in the Middle East, that is no longer interested in helping the greatest ally that they have in the Middle East.
00:33:28.200We are seeing that they don't think ahead like 45th did.
00:33:33.220They're just managing crisis one after the other.
00:33:35.740And now we are at the point where, like never before in the last 20 years, Russia is gaining strength and is scaring.
00:33:47.060Once again, we're back to the Cold War, where all the countries that were added to NATO after 97 are scared because Russia is demanding all of them to be out of NATO.
00:33:57.880Any country that was added after 97 should be out.
00:34:01.140Russia put a paper of demands on the table, and if America is not going to comply, Russia is going to make the move, and everybody knows that they're ready.
00:34:09.620And so what I'm trying to say, when there is a strong person in the Oval Office, we can see that things are moving in the Middle East in that positive way.
00:34:20.260And not only that we see that Jerusalem is back, our capital, you know, legitimately also in an international way, but also we see peace between Israel and Gulf states and a warmer relationship between Israel and the Saudi Arabians, which is, by the way, prophetically prescribed.
00:34:39.880The Bible says in the same Ezekiel 38, that Sheba and Dedan, which is the biblical name of Saudi and the Gulf states, will actually protest the coming attack of Russia, Iran, and Turkey on Israel.
00:34:57.560Arab Muslim states are protesting the attack on Israel, and this is the work of President Trump.
00:35:04.620God used him to bring, to reshape the Middle East in ways we've never seen before.
00:35:09.940And now, at the same time, we're watching this progressive, liberal, demonic attack on the whole world, changing everything, and changing also the way the White House is handling itself when it comes to Israel and the Middle East.
00:35:28.160Everybody saw what happened in Afghanistan.
00:35:30.340It emboldened every terrorist organization, every regime that is power-hungry.
00:35:37.740It emboldened them, and we are watching the result.
00:35:40.760What we see now in January of 2022 goes back to August of 2021.
00:35:46.280So let me, I have two questions, and we've got about five minutes.
00:35:50.740So let me ask you this question first.
00:35:54.020You know, a lot of people say America's not in the biblical prophecy, and I completely, I could buy that.
00:36:00.760But I have been wondering recently if we're not the great whore of Babylon.
00:36:05.800We're not the one who sold out everything we believed and just became the whore of the earth.
00:36:12.180Yeah, well, look, America is not, you're right, America is not mentioned per se in the Bible, but as we just saw, without America, God is using every empire, every superpower around the world.
00:36:26.640So without America, things that I just talked about could have not happened.
00:36:30.000Now, I believe that when it comes to mystery Babylon that the book of Revelation refers to, this is more of a system that is now being created in the world that at this point is led by America.
00:36:42.720But America, I don't have great news about your economy and about your growth.
00:36:49.300You just, in the previous segment, talked about that growth, that America will not stay the leader of all of this for the rest of history.
00:37:00.140We are talking about America now leading it, but then Europe will take the baton and continue.
00:37:06.080We are watching a system, it's a system that is completely ousting God and Christ out of the picture and will be indulging on compliance of people.
00:37:23.920Yep, it is the Great Reset, and it's the only way I can describe it.
00:37:28.920So let me ask you the second question.
00:37:31.140I have always looked at God's plan, and as you see it unfold, usually after, you're like, wow, look at the way he was working.
00:37:46.060Billy Graham was a friend of mine, and he used to say, you know, what God's doing, nobody knows.
00:37:51.580And in the end, you'll see this mosaic from all over the world, and you'll be like, only God could have done that.
00:37:58.320But I also feel as though, if I were a Jewish person in 1939, and somebody came to me and said, hey, but you know what, by 1947, Israel, I would be like, yeah, but I have to get from there to here, or from here to there.
00:39:38.820Are you there, ready to be out of here when he comes to take us?
00:39:43.640Are you ready to, can you say that you live now life that is ready for him?
00:39:52.000And that's the question, because, you know, we can fight many fights, but the most important fight that I think matters the most is our own life and the way not only we conduct our life, the way we conduct the life as a family, and that will project us as a society, as a nation.
00:40:11.640And I think that the more we want to leave God out, and the more we fight things that are not all the things of God, the less we find strength and energy to do the things that matters the most.
00:40:27.080And so, look, every Jew who survived the Holocaust, look back and understand that the Holocaust was inevitable.
00:40:36.580The Holocaust was inevitable because we were talking about things that progressed and happened, and that was the evil side of mankind that, you know, always, always was there.
00:40:53.140And by the way, the attempt to destroy Israel has been there from the moment they left Egypt, all the way until now.
00:41:00.920And even now, the only country that people want to destroy and openly say that and vow to do so is Israel.
00:41:08.140But again, look back and see what God did.
00:41:11.400Against all odds, we're now one of the strongest nations in the world, one of the strongest economies.
00:41:16.500We are the fourth country that landed a vehicle on the moon.
00:41:31.380And I always tell people, even when Babylon was allowed to take the Jews to exile, 70 years later, God judged them for it.
00:41:41.960So don't ever think that, you know, if God is allowing something to happen, he's not going to judge you for the evil intention that you had when you did it.
00:41:51.240And so this is, we need to stand before God every day and look at our own life and make sure that we remain agents of righteousness and do the things, not in the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of God, do the things that matters the most.
00:42:09.260And America, America is not going to go back to what it used to be.
00:42:16.440But America is in a great fight right now to at least keep God in the picture, to at least remain, you know, a country that will continue to show the light of God around the world.
00:42:32.320And unfortunately, as I said in the very beginning, what we see now is the elements of progressive liberal mindset, trying to get God out of the question, blame you for your prosperity, and even accuse you for not telling you that you don't even have the right to have happiness.
00:42:51.140Amir Safati, the founder and president of Behold Israel, beholdisrael.org, and on Instagram, Behold Israel, he has written a new fiction book that was written for people who don't normally would pick up a Christian book or whatever.
00:43:08.820But it talks about the days in which we're in.
00:43:13.000It's called Operation Yolkton, Operation Yolkton.
