Transcript

00:00:00.000 Well, it's amazing how fast we, you know, we can get signs now here in America printed by unions overnight from Saturday night to Sunday morning.
00:00:09.660 Somewhere there's a print shop, a union print shop that will make all kinds of anti-America, pro-Iranian signs.
00:00:17.320 I got to know what print shop that is because, wow, that's amazing.
00:00:21.120 What did those signs cost to have union workers come in over the weekend and do it overnight?
00:00:25.600 Man, those are pricey signs.
00:00:26.840 And another problem for the left, where to get all of these flags?
00:00:32.860 I mean, they just got the, you know, they just got the Palestinian flag.
00:00:37.640 Now over the weekend, how do we find an Iranian flag?
00:00:41.220 Those must be in short supply here, but they found a lot of them over the weekend.
00:00:45.640 Plus, we've seen all of this play out before and don't think, Islamists, we won't put a boot in your ass, as Toby Keith said, once again, because we will.
00:00:56.140 And the idea of Donald Trump going against the Constitution and not notifying Congress.
00:01:05.740 First of all, I don't trust any of those people anyway.
00:01:08.760 I think he did the right thing.
00:01:09.800 It's what I would have done.
00:01:11.120 However, did he break any laws?
00:01:13.680 What is the truth behind all of this?
00:01:16.340 Gabriel Nirona, who used to be with the State Department, he lays the whole case out and what really happened on today's podcast.
00:01:23.300 Let me tell you about our sponsor.
00:01:26.060 It's Preborn.
00:01:26.980 You don't have to imagine what a miracle sounds like.
00:01:29.860 It is the sound of a heartbeat, tiny, quick, fragile, and undeniably alive.
00:01:35.240 And for a woman who is unsure or being pressured into that abortion, that sound can be the turning point.
00:01:41.240 Preborn is making that moment possible.
00:01:44.560 All they do is they provide free ultrasounds to moms in crisis and compassionate counseling that helps them choose life.
00:01:52.400 These women, they don't want to kill their baby.
00:01:54.700 They've been either convinced that it's not a baby yet because they want to believe that and everybody in their life is telling them that.
00:02:01.780 And they don't feel like they have any kind of, they don't have any kind of choice in front of them because nobody will help them.
00:02:08.080 But when they hear that heartbeat, the number is 80% of the time she'll choose life.
00:02:14.240 But it doesn't happen without you.
00:02:16.280 $28 provides an ultrasound to a woman who desperately needs one.
00:02:20.980 And when you give to Preborn, you're not just saving a baby.
00:02:23.600 You're saving mom, too.
00:02:25.620 You're giving her hope.
00:02:26.920 You're giving her financial support.
00:02:28.400 You're giving her the truth.
00:02:30.020 You're giving her a life free of just a horrific regret.
00:02:34.460 Preborn has already rescued over 350,000 babies, but there are so many more that need our help.
00:02:41.080 Your tax-deductible gift makes this mission possible.

00:03:39.940 Now let's get to work.
00:03:48.980 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:52.940 Gabriel, welcome to the program.
00:03:54.760 Polaris National Security President, former State Department Special Advisor for Iran.
00:03:59.880 Did the president need to have congressional permission before striking Iran over the weekend?
00:04:06.500 No, he did not.
00:04:07.960 It would have been nice to have.
00:04:09.700 It strengthens the president's hand when he does have a congressional authorization for the use of military force.
00:04:15.800 But the Constitution grants him the powers as commander-in-chief to take all necessary actions, especially in a limited fashion like he just did.
00:04:26.720 There are no forces being entered into conflict.
00:04:29.860 There's no boots on the ground.
00:04:31.460 This isn't us invading Iraq and toppling the government.
00:04:35.480 This is a limited taking out their nuclear program.
00:04:38.920 And so he's under full legal authorization.
00:04:42.420 The Constitution grants him to do this.
00:04:44.660 And they never said anything about ISIS when he went after ISIS and shut them down, right?
00:04:50.820 I mean, we didn't hear this argument.
00:04:52.280 Why is this, why all of a sudden is this one so different than all of the limited strikes we have seen from all of the presidents recently?
00:04:59.980 You know, you go back to Libya, 2011.
00:05:04.520 You go back to ISIS, 2014-15.
00:05:07.840 Same scenario.
00:05:09.760 But actually, in those cases, those were even more intense military conflicts that we were involved in.
00:05:17.140 And Democrats didn't say anything.
00:05:18.880 Republicans, a few Republicans said a few things.
00:05:22.080 But the reason here is because they want to find something to attack President Trump for, but there's nothing on the policy because this went so well.
00:05:31.140 So they're going on to the legal crutch just because they don't have anything else.
00:05:35.180 But here's another thing.
00:05:36.400 I was in Congress for four years.
00:05:38.600 There were votes by Democrats where they said, we want to strip the president of the ability to attack Iran.
00:05:45.140 And they introduced amendment after amendment after amendment, and they all failed.
00:05:49.620 Not a single one passed.
00:05:51.240 I saw probably a dozen of these attempts over my years there.
00:05:55.020 All failed, either in the markup process, on the House floor, the Senate floor, in the conference.
00:06:01.480 So Congress had the opportunity to stop this if they wanted.
00:06:04.900 And they always said, no, we want the president to have the ability to strike Iran if and when it's necessary.
00:06:11.740 And, you know, I have to tell you, the world has changed.
00:06:15.760 It's not like I have to send a ship to go sailing across the ocean anymore.
00:06:20.080 Within 36 hours, we can leave, you know, our base here in America, be over in Iran, drop bombs, and be back at home, you know, time for dinner the next day.
00:06:31.380 I mean, it's very, very different.
00:06:34.520 And I think it's only logical to say the president should have a limited ability to not declare war, but to respond or to do a limited strike if it is in the national interest.
00:06:49.480 And then if it turns into something else, you know, Congress can, you know, reprimand him if they want.
00:06:56.160 Or, you know, isn't there something in the Constitution that's like 30 days or 60 days?
00:07:01.320 They can shut off all the money.
00:07:02.600 If he hasn't declared war and gone to Congress, they can just say, we're shutting off all the money.
00:07:07.500 So, you know, that's not accurate in this particular case because you'd have to have ongoing things.
00:07:13.060 But a president just can't start a war.
00:07:17.020 Congress can act.
00:07:18.100 You're right.
00:07:18.560 Correct?
00:07:19.420 You're right.
00:07:19.960 So back in 1973, at the height of the Vietnam War, Congress was concerned that a lot of that had been sort of unauthorized.
00:07:27.460 So they passed what was called the War Powers Resolution.
00:07:30.500 And that did two things.
00:07:32.080 First, it said within 48 hours of military forces entering a conflict, the president needs to come to Congress and basically tell them what legal authorization was used.
00:07:43.760 And so I expect President Trump is going to do that today.
00:07:46.800 There'll be a legal report filed.
00:07:48.420 The next thing is that Congress said they have 60 days to pass an authorization for force.
00:07:56.580 Or if it doesn't happen, then the president has to withdraw the forces.
00:08:01.840 But here's the thing.
00:08:03.340 The Supreme Court has never ruled that resolution constitutional.
00:08:07.680 And every single president since 1973, Democrat and Republican, have all asserted that is an unconstitutional resolution that was passed in the law.
00:08:17.280 So Congress has the option.
00:08:20.600 If Congress wants, they have the power of the purse, at any point, they can defund any war.
00:08:25.840 They can defund the Pentagon if they wanted to.
00:08:28.340 And they can force the president to bring back troops because they don't have money.
00:08:31.300 And Congress has never done so because Congress has always basically, you know, passed the buck to the president.
00:08:37.440 The idea that the president has to go to the gang of eight and alert them before anything happens, does that mean before the decision is made or right after the decision is made?
00:08:52.980 I mean, I know he went to the, you know, the leaders of Congress just minutes before the bombing started.
00:08:59.980 And quite honestly, if I were the president, I would have done exactly the same thing.
00:09:05.840 I can't trust members of Congress.
00:09:07.560 I mean, look at what they're doing.
00:09:08.940 These members of Congress are so radicalized now.
00:09:11.960 You know, they're marching in the streets with people who are burning our cities to the ground.
00:09:16.880 I don't know what I would have done other than exactly what Donald Trump did.
00:09:21.660 Did he violate any laws or anything with how he handled himself with the members of Congress, the leadership?
00:09:29.980 No, no, he didn't.
00:09:31.740 So, you know, the gang of eight for folks that don't know is the Democrat and Republican Senate majority leaders, minority leaders, House leaders and the leaders of the intelligence communities.
00:09:41.260 Now, there's a tradition that sort of the big secrets get brief to them.
00:09:46.060 Things like Chinese espionage, Russian nuclear war heads.
00:09:50.520 But there's not any legal requirement on this.
00:09:53.520 And I'll tell you, when President Obama killed Osama bin Laden, there wasn't a notification to Congress on that either.
00:10:01.640 And so it's more of a tradition of deference to Congress.
00:10:08.040 If you want to tell them special things, you can.
00:10:10.920 But there's no legal requirement.
00:10:12.300 It's really just sort of the way things are often done for big intelligence things.
00:10:18.500 But this is a military operation more than an intelligence operation.
00:10:22.680 So I don't even think this applies in this case.
00:10:27.060 So let me ask you about something that people like Steve Bannon are saying right now.
00:10:32.140 They suggested that our intel was deep state or informed by Mossad.
00:10:39.140 What intel did you receive during the first Trump administration that would lead you to believe that this is a sincere threat to American interest, not just a justification to help Israel?
00:10:52.420 You know, a lot of it you don't even have to get the intelligence reports from.
00:10:56.260 It's the fact that they promised and at the highest levels of leadership, they promised to wipe Israel off the map.
00:11:02.720 They promised to destroy America.
00:11:04.740 So you have intentions there in terms of capability.
00:11:08.420 What we saw was that they were retaining a secret archive of everything needed to build a nuclear weapon.
00:11:14.960 And they never declared that during Obama's Iran deal.
00:11:18.720 And so even in Obama's Iran deal, they were breaking that from day one by having this secret archive.
00:11:24.580 And then they had a bunch of nuclear scientists working on weaponization activities of the kinds of things that you need to actually physically assemble a warhead and make something explode.
00:11:36.680 And so all of that has been public knowledge for years.
00:11:41.120 And so with, you know, 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.
00:11:59.520 I think that that defies logic, frankly.
00:12:02.160 It was, you know, I'm hearing from both sides that, you know, Trump was negotiating and trying to negotiate.
00:12:11.340 And the other side, Iran says they were never serious.
00:12:15.180 In fact, we'd show up and then they never show up.
00:12:17.880 Can you give me any insight on what the negotiations were actually like prior to the strikes?
00:12:23.920 And do you think things are different now?
00:12:25.840 And if so, how?
00:12:26.680 I think President Trump was genuinely interested in solving this the diplomatic way.
00:12:34.100 And I'll tell you, he he he gave Iran very generous terms.
00:12:39.980 He gave them a lot of what they had asked for.
00:12:43.220 He came back a long ways from his position in 2018 to 2020, where he had those 12 demands on Iran.
00:12:50.980 Here, he only had three or four things that he said were really essential.
00:12:55.140 But what the Iranians did, and they've always done this, is they tried to negotiate every single point.
00:13:01.860 They tried to get more and more and more.
00:13:04.520 And every time they agreed to something, they'd come back and they'd renege on it.
00:13:08.700 And so this wasn't the behavior of someone that wants to solve this.
00:13:14.240 This was the behavior of someone that wanted to delay for time, that wanted to try to extract every concession.
00:13:20.920 Not the behavior of someone that genuinely wanted to live in peace with the United States and Israel.
00:13:28.460 I am so impressed with the team around Donald Trump, especially with Marco Rubio.
00:13:35.480 I didn't know what to expect from Marco Rubio.
00:13:37.560 As a Secretary of State, I think he has been just outstanding.
00:13:41.820 What should his message be to Iran now?
00:13:47.280 You know, I think it would be this.
00:13:49.260 You guys have the option to respond logically or respond emotionally.
00:13:55.180 The logical path would be to say, look, all our air defenses are gone.
00:13:59.500 Our ballistic missiles are mostly gone.
00:14:01.200 Our nuclear program is gone.
00:14:02.560 It's time to negotiate the terms of surrender in a way that gives us dignity, in a way that allows our government to survive and to save our people from more destruction and economic misery.
00:14:17.780 That would be the logical step.
00:14:19.940 And the emotional step is we're going to go attack American bases, extract revenge.
00:14:25.360 And I think what Secretary Rubio should do is lay out really clearly for Iranian leaders the consequences of that emotional path and say, if you do this, you will see your leadership wiped out.
00:14:40.180 You will see the rest of your ballistic missile program wiped out.
00:14:42.960 And you're not going to get good terms of negotiations.
00:14:46.040 So if you can box in Iran's leaders, give them a good off-ramp saying, hey, here's a realistic path that you can take to preserve your interests and attain peace, but don't take that hard path.
00:15:00.460 So Rick Grinnell said that he spoke to somebody, an Iranian source on the ground, who said things on the ground are really, really bad.
00:15:11.160 They're locking everybody up in their house.
00:15:13.620 You know, it's martial law.
00:15:15.040 They've already rounded up a group of religious dissidents that they say were spies for Israel, but executed like a hundred of them over the weekend.
00:15:26.160 They've arrested hundreds, hundreds more.
00:15:28.540 I can't remember the, I can't remember the name of the religious police.
00:15:31.480 It's the raw, I can't remember.
00:15:33.740 Maybe you know, but.
00:15:35.360 But probably the besiege or the, yeah, probably the besiege.
00:15:39.580 Yes, yes, exactly right.
00:15:41.540 And they are on the streets pretty mercilessly right now, checking everybody's phone, their car.
00:15:50.100 I mean, it's, it's very dangerous.
00:15:51.880 Do you think there's a chance that the people can rise up and why hasn't the president encouraged them to rise up yet?
00:16:04.240 You know, I think the Iranian people want to get rid of this regime.
00:16:09.100 But I will tell you, hearing from Iranians myself, I also hear that they're, that they're pretty afraid for themselves.
00:16:15.680 They are trying to evacuate their families.
00:16:18.380 They're trying to find a safe shelter.
00:16:20.280 They don't know what's going to happen.
00:16:21.920 And so they're probably not going to take to the streets and overthrow the government right now.
00:16:27.820 But a month from now, if this war is over, that is really the time where they could see their whole leadership crippled and say, we want a new future.
00:16:37.540 And one of the things that Israelis are doing right now, which is really smart, is they are destroying the internal government bureaucracy that is used to suppress the Iranians.
00:16:48.820 So they're destroying, you know, the Gestapo stations, for lack of a better term, all the units which torture people, which arrest people, which monitor people to their high tech surveillance.
00:17:00.100 They're destroying all these institutions, which used to be the ones that massacred the Iranian people.
00:17:05.680 And so they're paving the way that if the Iranians decide to take to the streets down the road, that they will be empowered, that they'll be able to gain momentum and that they would be actually successful in those efforts to overthrow the regime.
00:17:20.120 Gabriel, I saw a president.
00:17:21.880 Oh, go ahead.
00:17:22.480 Go ahead.
00:17:23.100 No, no, please go ahead.
00:17:23.920 I saw President Trump tweet, I think yesterday, he's sort of providing an opening for regime change.
00:17:30.540 And he's sort of saying, look, if the government is not going to do the smart thing, the Iranian people should take control of their own future and change the regime themselves.
00:17:41.040 So that's the first time we've seen that from President Trump in the second administration, where he's sort of encouraged the Iranian people to to overthrow this regime.
00:17:49.980 I think that's a smart thing to do.
00:17:51.720 I don't think we can get a full resolution to the nuclear threat while this regime is in power.
00:17:59.780 Right now, you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:18:02.480 And don't forget, check out the full show for even more.
00:18:05.660 We're back with more after a word from our sponsor.
00:18:13.780 Let me tell you about our spot, our sponsor.
00:18:16.000 It's my company, Real Estate Agents.
00:18:17.860 I trust, you know, moving shouldn't feel like gambling in a casino.
00:18:21.600 Where you don't know the rules.
00:18:22.820 But too often, that's exactly what buying or selling a home feels like.
00:18:26.300 Where you're blindly trusting some real estate agent that happened to have a nice smile on a billboard.
00:18:32.840 Realestateagentsitrust.com takes out the guesswork.
00:18:35.260 This is my company.
00:18:36.320 And I started over a decade ago with my brother, Robert, because I'd had so many bad experiences buying and selling homes, as did he.
00:18:43.320 And we realized, we don't know what we're doing.
00:18:46.140 I mean, here's one of the biggest financial moves of our life, and we don't know what we're doing.
00:18:50.980 Well, we started working with the 500 best real estate agents in America, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:18:56.720 And we learned from them.
00:18:58.680 And we went out and we tried to find more people that had their principles, their values, and their business expertise.
00:19:06.360 What they knew and executed as, you know, best business practices was so important.
00:19:13.420 So whether you're buying or selling, moving across town or across the country, the way to go with confidence is by going with a real estate agent from realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:19:25.360 Realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:19:26.720 Get the job done right the first time.
00:19:29.040 Now back to the podcast.
00:19:31.500 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:19:37.060 Welcome to the program.
00:19:38.700 So far, some good news.
00:19:39.960 No federal judge has issued any ruling ordering President Trump to reverse the airstrike or return the munitions deployed in the operation.
00:19:50.440 So, you know, it's coming.
00:19:52.040 It's coming.
00:19:52.640 But so far, that hasn't happened.
00:19:55.340 Stu, I don't know if you saw this, but, man, the protesters were out.
00:19:59.120 And they have new signs.
00:20:00.360 New signs and new slogans.
00:20:01.940 Really?
00:20:02.700 Which, oh, yeah.
00:20:03.980 They had the drum team all ready to go, and they were out.
00:20:06.700 And, I mean, it would be hard to be a protester now because I wouldn't know.
00:20:11.380 I don't think I could keep up with the changes, you know, because it just seems to always be whatever is in the news and whatever Trump is doing, we have to march and protest.
00:20:24.320 And it's the biggest thing of all time.
00:20:26.500 So, and it's getting confusing, and I thought I would be helpful.
00:20:30.300 I wrote a little speech for, you know, let's say, you know, Zezer Comrade River Rain is going to go out today, you know, and he's good.
00:20:40.460 Okay.
00:20:41.200 By the way, his pronouns are they, them, and fury.
00:20:44.220 So, but I thought, you know, somebody's going to give a speech, I should help them because it's really difficult to keep up with all of it.
00:20:52.440 So, may I suggest, you know, when River Rain comes out today, he says, siblings, comrades, organisms of resistance, I come to you as a non-gender, neuro-spicy, trauma-infused survivor of heteronormative weather patterns and cis-assigned parking spaces.
00:21:12.060 And I come to you to speak truth, not truth as in fact-based, colonialist logic, but emotional truth, which is always more valid because I cried when I wrote this today.
00:21:23.520 But we are gathered here on stolen land, under a sky colonized by Elon Musk and SpaceX, which we're very much against, in solidarity with anyone who has ever been oppressed by anything except, like, accountability.
00:21:38.740 But let me be very, very non-binary, crystal clear.
00:21:44.500 We stand with Hamas because imperialism must fall.
00:21:49.200 But I also want to remind you that we stand with the LGBTQIA2+, and any other letters that we haven't invented yet.
00:21:58.160 That community.
00:21:59.340 And I know what you're thinking.
00:22:00.360 River.
00:22:00.900 Hamas throws queers off of the rooftops.
00:22:03.580 Yes.
00:22:03.860 And I say to that, don't center yourself here, Karen.
00:22:06.780 Don't do it.
00:22:07.360 Don't do it.
00:22:08.280 Oppression is intersectional.
00:22:11.200 So what's happening to gays here in America is much worse than being thrown off a rooftop in Iran.
00:22:17.420 And what's happening to women in America is worse than the stoning for adultery or the hijab now that has to cover their eyes, you know, their inability to, inability to, you know, work or even drive a car or sometimes even leave the house.
00:22:31.080 Because, yes, they're problematic.
00:22:32.440 But let's be frank, so is RuPaul, you know.
00:22:35.800 He's a little problematic for us.
00:22:37.920 This is nuanced activism.
00:22:40.340 So we say no to war, except in Ukraine and Gaza, you know, and anybody else, maybe Venezuela.
00:22:49.460 I mean, they can do whatever they want.
00:22:51.160 We say no to borders, except for those emotional borders, which are sacred and have to be Venmo verified.
00:22:57.860 I need a safe room for those.
00:22:59.380 We say no to violence, except, you know, the mostly non, you know, nonviolent, mostly peaceful bricks that we're throwing through capitalist windows or the firebombing of cities or anything like that.
00:23:14.080 That is, that's mostly peaceful.
00:23:16.120 But silence, I want to remind you, is violence.
00:23:20.940 You know, unless it's us canceling you for saying something problematic in 2012, then you need to be silenced.
00:23:27.560 I am proudly anti-vice, anti-ice, anti-Freon, anti-Tesla, anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-accountability.
00:23:37.600 I'm also pro-gluten-free revolutionary in socialism.
00:23:42.540 We demand free health care, free college, free Palestine, free Wi-Fi all across the country, especially in those places where those colonious pigs, you know, have just taken over the farmland.
00:23:54.200 And free therapy for our collective trauma caused by billionaires and boomers and comedians that have opinions, you know.
00:24:01.820 And I'm here today to honor the sacred struggle of all the peoples, including but not limited to the indigenous TikTokers, the vegan anarchists, the queer baristas with master's degrees, the cis-guilt allies who Venmo us monthly,
00:24:16.820 and the brave Hamas freedom fighters who we will not mention the rape of women that they were doing.
00:24:24.240 They're learning, okay?
00:24:25.140 They're growing.
00:24:26.000 Growth is not linear, I'll just say.
00:24:28.020 So in conclusion, we are the movement of everything and yet at the same time the movement of absolutely nothing.
00:24:35.080 You know, we fight for contradictions over consistency.
00:24:38.260 We fight for feelings over facts, for equity over logic, for a world where everyone is free.
00:24:43.760 I mean, unless you're a landlord or Elon Musk or somebody who said all lives matter once at a Thanksgiving table.
00:24:50.120 Have you posted your black box on Instagram yet?
00:24:53.040 What are you waiting for?
00:24:53.900 I mean, it's almost over.
00:24:54.900 We're on to other things by this point.
00:24:57.240 Power to the people.
00:24:58.620 Well, not all the people, but, you know, at least the gender-fluid AI collective will build after the revolution
00:25:06.040 because trans-liberation now and trans-Siberian Railroad, really, I don't know what their opinion is on stuff,
00:25:12.460 but I love them and free Gaza and, hey, fight for pedophilia and abolish air conditioning.
00:25:18.540 We're in this together again.
00:25:20.400 Where are the drums?
00:25:21.600 Where are the drums?
00:25:23.200 They are—I can't keep up with them, Stu.
00:25:27.320 I can't keep up with them.
00:25:28.780 Was that a speech from a protester or a potential mayoral candidate in New York City that may beat Andrew Cuomo?
00:25:37.500 I'm a little confused because I think that could come right out of his mouth as well.
00:25:43.300 I mean, that's crazy.
00:25:44.400 That's fascinating.
00:25:45.420 And, like, with all of these roads of each protest sort of colliding into an intersection,
00:25:56.640 it's like they don't seem to ever need to, like, explain them.
00:26:02.620 Like, why are they so for war in Ukraine?
00:26:08.300 Ukraine.
00:26:09.280 But so against it and so other places.
00:26:11.780 But, again, like, unless it's—you know, of course, we all get a purge day on October 7th.
00:26:16.820 That was—that's totally—we're fine with violence on that day.
00:26:20.940 Only fine.
00:26:20.960 Only.
00:26:21.460 Yeah, it's—
00:26:22.180 Well, they weren't silent, and silence is violence.
00:26:24.860 So—and they were not—they were making phone calls.
00:26:27.440 They were saying all kinds of things.
00:26:28.780 Admitting everything.
00:26:29.780 So, yeah.
00:26:30.600 Yeah, they were doing that.
00:26:32.100 And I'm fascinated as well, Glenn, is I seem to see all—basically every word you just said on freshly printed signs.
00:26:42.680 Now, that is fascinating.
00:26:44.240 How does that work exactly?
00:26:45.740 Do you know?
00:26:46.000 I don't know.
00:26:47.260 I mean, especially from all these people that just don't seem to have jobs.
00:26:50.760 You know, they're protesting all over.
00:26:52.900 And yet they can go to—I mean, it's not Kinko's because they all have—look at them.
00:26:57.620 They all have the little, you know, printed by the union sign at the bottom of those signs.
00:27:03.200 And I've never thought of the union as the place to, you know, like, ah, crap, we need a sign in an hour.
00:27:10.480 Do you know a sign company that has unions working there?
00:27:15.460 Because they're going to whip it out quickly, especially on the weekends or overnight from Saturday to Sunday morning.
00:27:21.580 It was amazing that Saturday night they bomb Iran, and Sunday morning they have union-printed signs about Iran and the bombing and Trump.
00:27:31.960 I mean, I have never—wow, how does that happen?
00:27:35.820 You've got some connections at a sign store.
00:27:38.260 No leaks to Congress, but plenty of leaks to Kinko's, apparently.
00:27:42.100 Yeah.
00:27:42.700 That's—
00:27:43.100 Don't give Kinko's that credit.
00:27:46.260 I don't think you can go to Kinko's and get those signs printed that quickly.
00:27:49.600 It's true.
00:27:49.820 You know, whatever union sign store, they got word of the attack well in advance so they could produce all the signs, but Congress just didn't know.
00:27:59.500 They had to.
00:28:00.220 I mean, how could you pay for the—you imagine the overtime those unions had to put in to do them overnight?
00:28:05.600 Well, those signs had to be like $1,000 apiece 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.
00:28:17.980 I mean, it's not easy to be a protester, except for them, strangely.
00:28:24.220 Yeah, they're able to not only do the protests, but show up at multiple protests all across the country.
00:28:30.240 Like, I don't know if they've got private jet service.
00:28:32.440 I'm not exactly sure how they pull this off so easily, but they do.
00:28:35.340 I know, and it's really—I feel bad for them.
00:28:38.140 I'll be sincere here for a second.
00:28:40.780 Do you know how much money they have spent in non-American flags over the last month?
00:28:47.520 I mean, think about it.
00:28:48.480 All the flags they have to go out and buy, and they're like, we just bought the Palestinian flag.
00:28:53.080 Now we need the Iranian flag?
00:28:54.420 I mean, how many flags are we going to have to buy?
00:28:57.480 I feel bad for them.
00:28:59.320 The flag companies are doing well, too.
00:29:02.020 This might be all big sign and big flag that is behind all of this.
00:29:06.540 It's just sad because they're so anti-capitalist.
00:29:08.720 They wouldn't want to help these industries, but they do.
00:29:11.480 I know.
00:29:11.600 I think, Glenn, no, it's just that, you know, just a lot of people in downtown Los Angeles
00:29:17.200 just happen to have Palestinian flags handy.
00:29:19.820 They just had them because of all—because there's just, like, a massive Palestinian population
00:29:25.620 in Los Angeles.
00:29:27.560 Not Detroit, where maybe that would make some sense, but no, they just all had the Palestinian
00:29:33.080 flags ready to go the next morning.
00:29:34.740 Fascinating.
00:29:35.500 If I asked you right now, Stu, where could you buy an Iranian or Palestinian flag?
00:29:43.820 Let me—if I asked you right now, you need a flag in the wee hours of the
00:29:49.800 morning, an American flag, where would you go to buy an American flag Saturday night,
00:29:56.680 10 o'clock at night?
00:29:57.680 I mean, maybe I could pull that off.
00:30:00.660 I mean, it is almost July.
00:30:02.600 Maybe.
00:30:03.060 I could probably go to a Walmart and find that one flag.
00:30:06.220 All right.
00:30:06.720 Maybe.
00:30:07.200 I will say, very difficult to find a Palestinian or Iranian flag.
00:30:13.340 I would not know.
00:30:14.320 Outside of searching on the internet and finding a store that would overnight it to me, this
00:30:18.180 is probably the fastest you could find it.
00:30:20.580 Yeah.
00:30:21.060 I don't think I could—I don't think I would be capable of pulling that off currently.
00:30:24.800 I would have a hard time on a Monday at noon finding a place that could sell those.
00:30:30.620 And, you know, honestly, if I was going online to buy them, I would be afraid that, you know,
00:30:34.220 I was now on some list being tracked because there are not a lot of people like, you know,
00:30:38.720 it's Fourth of July weekend, I need a good Iranian flag.
00:30:43.020 I mean, there's not a big call for those, you know?
00:30:45.500 I would think that would put you on—is it possible that this, this is what the FBI is doing?
00:30:53.140 Dan Bongino is like, let's just open up flag companies for all the enemies of the country.
00:30:58.520 They buy a flag, we arrest them.
00:31:00.520 We know who they are.
00:31:02.460 I mean, that would be a—that'd be a really pretty good idea, honestly.
00:31:05.360 Yeah, not a bad one.
00:31:06.760 Just enemies of the United States flags.
00:31:09.200 Just produce them with, like, little listening devices in each one.
00:31:12.900 And we don't—we obviously don't, you know, we don't pay attention to any of the amendments
00:31:16.820 that might violate anymore anyway.
00:31:19.020 So let's just go for it.
00:31:20.220 Do we need the listening device, though?
00:31:21.700 Honestly, you're going in—give me a reason you're going in to buy an Iranian flag
00:31:26.940 and you don't work for the Glenn Beck program because I could see us going,
00:31:30.600 I need an Iranian flag.
00:31:32.960 Okay.
00:31:33.360 But generally speaking, if you don't work for the Glenn Beck program,
00:31:37.700 what would be a good American, wholesome, I'm-not-against-America reason to buy that flag this weekend?
00:31:47.840 Right.
00:31:48.240 Well, it's interesting because, you know, even if you happen to be a person who despises the current regime of Iran
00:31:57.720 and, like, we're living here, which we do have, we've had people on the show who were born in Iran
00:32:03.200 who have, you know, who can't stand what's going on there.
00:32:05.680 Like, you could be a patriotic person.
00:32:06.900 Good friend Patrick Bet-David.
00:32:07.760 But even those people hate the current Iranian flag because they changed it.
00:32:14.140 So there really is no reason to do it.
00:32:17.380 Yeah.
00:32:17.540 I mean, you might go out and say, can I get the classic Iranian flag?
00:32:22.100 I could see that.
00:32:22.880 You know, pre-1979, could I get that one, you know?
00:32:27.960 But, no, I think maybe the purchase of the Iranian and, quite honestly, the Palestinian flag
00:32:35.100 should lead directly to your arrest.
00:32:37.940 I'm just saying.
00:32:39.160 I mean, I know that sounds a little...
00:32:41.640 It seems a little bit like it wouldn't work with our Constitution and First Amendment, but, you know.
00:32:47.920 We'd find a...
00:32:48.740 If we were on the left, we could find a federal judge that would go along with it.
00:32:52.020 You absolutely could.
00:32:53.460 If there was a left-wing president, there'd be no problem finding a few circuits that would approve that.
00:32:58.600 You would have all of the circuits approving that.
00:33:02.080 You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.
00:33:04.460 Need a little more?
00:33:05.100 Check out the full show podcasts, anywhere you download podcasts.
00:33:09.180 All right.
00:33:10.140 We've seen this movie before.
00:33:13.260 And, you know, this weekend, we struck, without any fanfare, just really clarity and resolve,
00:33:24.680 we struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear facilities.
00:33:29.020 And I want to speak really plainly here.
00:33:33.020 Iran is not just a rogue state.
00:33:37.500 We have a rogue state in North Korea.
00:33:39.660 And it's bad.
00:33:41.400 What Iran is, is the nerve center of Islamic terror.
00:33:46.380 They give $700 million a year to Hezbollah.
00:33:51.360 $100 million to Hamas.
00:33:54.100 That's almost as much money, I think, as we give to Hamas.
00:33:56.800 They train militias from Gaza to Venezuela.
00:34:01.180 Did you know that Hamas was in Venezuela?
00:34:04.460 Yeah.
00:34:04.960 Why are they training in Venezuela?
00:34:07.240 I think you know the answer to that.
00:34:09.620 The IRGC's, the Quds Force, personally loyal to the Ayatollah Khomeini.
00:34:15.980 They run global assassination plots.
00:34:19.560 They have tentacles across the Middle East, Europe, and now here.
00:34:23.640 They plotted the demise and the assassination of our president, President Trump.
00:34:28.300 I thought it was very restrained of him not to target their leader,
00:34:32.580 seeing that their leader targeted him just last summer.
00:34:35.380 And while we're sitting here and we're arguing about pronouns and all of the ridiculous things that we are arguing about,
00:34:43.980 they're busy building drone factories in Syria and terror tunnels under Gaza and sleeper cells in the West.
00:34:51.100 We have so many sleeper cells because of Joe Biden that our FBI cannot keep up.
00:34:58.320 I have heard, I don't know if this is true, but I have heard this weekend that we can't keep up with the terror cells that we have here in America.
00:35:08.580 It is so out of control that we no longer have time to really track down and stop the terror cells outside of America.
00:35:18.180 So what happened this weekend is we opened a gate.
00:35:21.500 But I want you to understand, in 2023 alone, the U.S. Border Patrol caught over 8,000 special interest aliens, people from nations linked to terror.
00:35:34.660 And the FBI just lost track of them.
00:35:38.040 Now, they are arresting them in record numbers from what I understand.
00:35:42.400 I hope that that is true, and I hope we can catch them before anything happens.
00:35:48.420 But these are not nameless nobodies.
00:35:50.980 They are trained, they are embedded, and they are waiting, not just here in America, but all over the world.
00:35:57.980 And when America pushes back, what happened?
00:36:01.920 The media immediately screams Islamophobia.
00:36:05.420 Why?
00:36:07.360 Because that's a made-up thing in the first place.
00:36:09.960 I think CARE made that up.
00:36:12.600 Islamophobia.
00:36:13.460 I'm not afraid of Islam.
00:36:15.420 I'm afraid of those who want to impose the Koran and the Hadith on everyone by force.
00:36:23.780 You should have a phobia against that.
00:36:26.120 You should be phobic against that.
00:36:28.360 Let me say this as clearly as I can.
00:36:31.260 This is not about Muslims.
00:36:33.400 This is about Islamists.
00:36:35.300 There is a difference.
00:36:38.360 A Muslim, like a Catholic, practices a faith.
00:36:43.620 An Islamist imposes a regime.
00:36:46.960 And that is happening here in the United States.
00:36:49.900 A Muslim may pray, forgive, assimilate.
00:36:52.940 But an Islamist believes you must bow or die.
00:36:58.640 That's what I'm against.
00:37:00.260 And I think every American should be that way as well.
00:37:04.400 Oh no, but we are just too Islamophobia.
00:37:08.140 We are just too filled with these, with our hatred of anything that is different.
00:37:12.540 Well, do you remember back in the day when we were going after a guy named Osama bin Laden?
00:37:17.720 And at the same time, we elected a guy named Barack Hussein Obama?
00:37:25.080 Obama, Osama, Hussein, Saddam Hussein?
00:37:28.460 I mean, it doesn't seem like, it seems like we can chew gum and walk at the same time.
00:37:33.920 Seems like we can differentiate between the two.
00:37:37.780 That's not bigotry.
00:37:39.760 It's grace.
00:37:41.160 Because that's who we are.
00:37:42.820 We are a nation that at times is bigoted, at other times has grace.
00:37:49.560 But grace can very easily become suicide.
00:37:55.300 So let me talk to you here about some things that Islamism brings in plain sight.
00:38:02.640 Okay?
00:38:03.380 In O'Gran, girls are married as young as nine.
00:38:07.960 Are you for that?
00:38:08.760 Have you seen any of the videos of the young girls that are married off at nine years old
00:38:17.100 and how they leave with their 50-year-old husbands?
00:38:21.420 In 2024, last year, a bill was advanced in their parliament to codify it again.
00:38:29.100 Just to make sure everybody's okay with that.
00:38:31.680 Let's codify it again.
00:38:33.320 In Afghanistan, 53% of the women were married before 18.
00:38:38.480 21% of the women are married before 15.
00:38:43.180 Honor killings.
00:38:44.700 Another super-duper classic from the people who bring you Islamists.
00:38:51.140 They claim 5,000 girls and women every year are burned, strangled, or stoned to death by their own family.
00:39:00.740 In Paris, 77% of the solved rape cases in 2023 involved foreign-born suspects.
00:39:10.700 Why?
00:39:11.300 Because the Hadith says,
00:39:13.100 it's okay as long as they're an infidel.
00:39:15.940 You can do whatever you want to them.
00:39:17.780 In Sweden, over 58% of the convicted rapists were immigrants.
00:39:22.780 In Germany, asylum seekers made up less than 2% of the population but have 8.5% of the crime suspects.
00:39:31.140 This is not immigration that we're dealing with.
00:39:36.540 This is ideological importation.
00:39:40.380 If you're a Muslim and you're westernized, you fled tyranny because you know this story better than I do.
00:39:48.200 Because when Islamists take power, they kill you first.
00:39:53.740 They don't come after me first.
00:39:55.220 They kill you first.
00:39:57.360 Because you have betrayed Islam according to their twisted ideology.
00:40:04.340 Yet you still pray five times a day.
00:40:07.040 They stone your daughters.
00:40:09.520 They throw your homosexual son off of a rooftop.
00:40:12.960 They burn the apostates like you.
00:40:15.520 They behead converts.
00:40:17.200 They erase liberty.
00:40:19.140 They erase women.
00:40:20.160 They erase all dissent.
00:40:21.820 This is not a faith.
00:40:24.520 This is fascism in a turban.
00:40:28.960 What we are going up against in the world is not a faith.
00:40:34.780 If anything, if I want to put it into the category of faith,
00:40:37.720 when you're talking about Islamists and Islamism,
00:40:40.420 it is evil.
00:40:42.800 It is the faith of the Antichrist.
00:40:46.100 I'm convinced of it.
00:40:47.380 Now, that doesn't mean Muslims.
00:40:49.620 That means those who want the regime to impose this.
00:40:55.600 And we in the West, America in particular, we are asleep at the wheel.
00:41:01.620 Look at Europe.
00:41:02.400 But here in America, let's just stick to America for just a second.
00:41:07.400 Our cities are being overrun with anti-Semitic mobs calling for an infatata or intifada.
00:41:13.340 That means basically revolution and a killing of anybody who disagrees with them.
00:41:19.880 Our campuses echo chants from the river to the sea, which means wipe out all Jews.
00:41:26.080 That's what that means, you dopes.
00:41:28.960 Our government, overwhelmed, can no longer chase Islamic terrorists outside of our borders
00:41:34.540 because they're inside of our borders now.
00:41:36.880 But let me tell you, let me make a warning to both the Islamists and, honestly, to ourselves.
00:41:48.540 You want to see America unite again?
00:41:52.480 Let one of these mobs or several of these sleeper cells cross the wrong line.
00:41:57.680 It's one thing to march with a flag and chant death to America.
00:42:02.320 It's another to go into our malls, into our homes, into our schools, into our places of worship,
00:42:11.300 and just start killing people.
00:42:15.040 We're divided.
00:42:17.400 But right now, there's at least 100 million Americans who know what's at stake.
00:42:22.520 They're wide awake.
00:42:23.600 You start doing this, and Americans are not going to follow.
00:42:32.200 Americans are going to stand up against you.
00:42:34.160 Not all.
00:42:35.460 We have our crazies here, too.
00:42:39.000 And it's, what we're standing up for is not just our nation.
00:42:42.900 It's our civilization.
00:42:44.540 It's our daughters and their right to live free and unveiled.
00:42:48.200 It's the ability to walk our streets without being told, we've provoked our own assault.
00:42:55.020 And let me tell you, I think America is done importing abuse and calling it tolerance.
00:43:01.660 We're done.
00:43:04.000 I, for one, will always welcome those who love liberty and want to support and live under the light of liberty.
00:43:11.140 But it's time for us to stop bowing to those who wish to destroy that liberty.
00:43:18.920 And to the Islamists that are here, you might think that we are weak.
00:43:24.020 You might think that we are distracted.
00:43:26.580 But I believe you are terribly wrong.
00:43:30.920 See, we've seen this movie before.
00:43:32.920 And it had a different ending.
00:43:36.340 It went into softness and tolerance and everything else.
00:43:41.060 We didn't know how to define our enemy back then.
00:43:45.240 We just thought, hmm, Muslims, trouble on planes.
00:43:50.800 At least that's the way we were painted.
00:43:54.040 But most of us didn't know anything about the Middle East or Islam or anything else.
00:43:58.620 And we couldn't believe that, you know, they could come over here and do any more than just the hijacking of planes.
00:44:07.220 We never imagined 25 years ago what could happen to a place like Europe or our own streets.
00:44:18.140 We never, ever imagined at the time that we could see hundreds, if not thousands of people in the streets fighting and setting fires for communism and Islamism.
00:44:33.940 I was called crazy for saying that this would happen in 2008, 9, 10, 11, 12.
00:44:39.960 And here it is.
00:44:41.300 We've seen this movie before, but I promise you, we've written a new ending.
00:44:49.660 And this is a warning not just for Islamists, but also for all of us.
00:44:57.300 We have got to guard our liberty because they start causing trouble on the streets.
00:45:03.740 I mean real trouble.
00:45:04.880 You start to have a Beslan here and there.
00:45:06.840 We will go fascistic overnight.
00:45:13.560 And we can never become the thing that we despise, fighting those things we despise.
00:45:22.720 We have to be very, very careful, but it starts first with moral clarity.
00:45:28.720 Do you believe it's okay for a nine-year-old to be married off in an arranged marriage?
00:45:34.940 I don't.
00:45:36.060 I think it's pretty clear.
00:45:38.500 Do you believe it's okay to stone a woman for adultery, but the guy gets away?
00:45:44.260 Do you believe it's okay to stone anybody to death?
00:45:47.300 Do you believe it's okay to behead infidels or behead anyone who disagrees with you?
00:45:53.780 You don't have to be a member of Islam.
00:45:55.460 You'll be a communist.
00:45:56.500 Is it okay to line you up against the wall and shoot you because you don't agree with communism?
00:46:00.240 These ideologies have an awful lot in common, and it's all on the dark side and death.
00:46:06.200 The time to think things through is right now.
00:46:16.960 Most people don't want to even look at this.
00:46:20.020 Most people don't want to think this could even happen, but I urge you to look at what is happening in Europe.
00:46:26.840 I don't know if we're going to do it this week or next week, but I hope the Wednesday night special, either this week or next week, I hope it's this week if we have time, is to show you the footage that is coming out of these mass demonstrations and the craziness that is happening over in Europe.
00:46:45.980 You need to see it.
00:46:47.160 I mean, I wrote out a show last night I'm going to present to the producers today to see if we can pull it off this week, but I don't want to say very much.
00:46:56.500 I just want to show you what's happening all around the world because it is very clear.
00:47:01.080 We have been invaded, and in our tolerance, we are about to lose the Western civilization.
00:47:09.800 So, Iran, you should be put on notice.
00:47:13.440 You start unleashing these people on our streets.
00:47:17.540 You start coming in here, and you start doing terror.
00:47:22.000 What was that Toby Keith?
00:47:23.600 We'll put a boot up your ass.
00:47:27.180 That kind of American will show up again in righteous indignation, and we will put a boot up your ass because there's at least 100 million of us that are not going to live under that kind of tyranny ever.
00:47:43.440 Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
00:47:44.940 Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, na.
00:47:46.160 Nah, nah, nah.
00:47:47.520 Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
00:47:48.780 Nah, nah nah, nah, nah.
00:47:49.760 Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
