00:00:00.700 We start again in Minneapolis. There is something I think is really truly evil of Tim Walsh to do.
00:00:09.340 Yesterday I told you about how he was saying he was setting up the National Guard to go against the U.S. federal agents,
00:00:17.280 which is absolutely unconstitutional and wildly illegal. He will go to jail if he does that.
00:00:22.740 But I told you yesterday he's actually not doing that. He is sending a signal to his own Revolutionary Guard 0.77
00:00:29.260 the Marxists and the anarchists that are on the streets, and he needs them for protection
00:00:35.380 so he doesn't go to jail for all of the other things that he is doing. It's amazing selfishness.
00:00:41.220 Ryan Morrow is here because we found something in the news yesterday, and it didn't seem right.
00:00:46.340 We called him as a researcher and said, can you look this up? He was up all night, and it's big.
00:00:50.600 You don't want to miss a second of today's podcast.
00:00:54.380 Patriot Mobile. Most of us are pretty careful about the big decisions in our life,
00:00:57.820 but the small ones, the monthly automatic ones, we have a way of just,
00:01:01.120 those just slip by without any thought.
00:01:03.180 Your cell phone service is a perfect example. It's essential. It's always on.
00:01:06.820 It's something you pay for without ever really revisiting the decision very often.
00:01:10.820 And you don't want to switch because it's a pain in the butt, right? 0.97
00:01:13.880 I don't want to lose my number. I don't know. I just, I'm fine. I just want to switch.
00:01:18.020 Patriot Mobile was built for people who want a different kind of relationship
00:01:22.060 with the companies that they rely on.
00:01:24.160 I don't want to continue to fund companies that are, you know, today cheering for the governor
00:01:31.360 and the mayor of Minnesota. I don't want to do business with them.
00:01:35.900 I don't want my money going to these companies.
00:01:38.420 With Patriot Mobile, you're going to get a company that is the only Christian conservative wireless company
00:01:45.300 in existence, and they make it very uncomplicated to switch.
00:01:49.780 You keep your phone, you keep your number, your service just works.
00:01:53.800 The only real change comes every month when you're paying actually a little less in your phone bill.
00:01:59.360 And what you are paying, you're paying to a company that is actually aligned with you,
00:02:04.180 not working against you and everything you believe in.
00:02:06.740 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, 972 Patriot, 972 Patriot, PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
00:02:11.960 Call them now, make the switch today.
00:02:14.120 Get a free month of service with the promo code Beck,
00:02:16.240 and make sure you switch today.
00:02:19.780 Hello, America.
00:02:22.520 You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:02:24.480 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:02:30.660 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:02:35.660 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

00:02:47.740 to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:02:50.680 This isn't a podcast.
00:02:52.020 This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:02:55.520 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:03:00.620 Rate, review, share.
00:03:02.220 Together, we'll make a difference.
00:03:03.940 And thanks for standing with us.
00:03:05.580 Now let's get to work.
00:03:14.680 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:18.960 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:20.920 We have Ryan Morrow joining us because I want to go over a story that we called him about late last night,
00:03:26.840 and the guy has not slept.
00:03:28.040 I mean, this guy is a warrior for truth.
00:03:32.300 Let me give you the story.
00:03:34.060 This is from the Post.
00:03:36.220 Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him,
00:03:41.260 was an anti-ice warrior and part of a group of activists who worked to document and resist the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
00:03:50.940 Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ice activists through her six-year-old son's woke charter school
00:03:58.400 that boasts they put social justice first and prioritizes involving kids in political and social activism.
00:04:05.260 My gosh, why would you put your six-year-old kid into a school that says that?
00:04:10.480 We're going to involve them in political activism.
00:04:14.620 Oh my gosh, these guys are dangerous revolutionaries.
00:04:18.620 She was a warrior doing what she knew was right.
00:04:22.180 Okay, so we called Ryan and we said, Ryan, can you help us out on this group that she's involved with?
00:04:29.680 Because they were making it sound like this group is just observing.
00:04:33.360 Well, you don't take your car and block a street if you're an observer.
00:04:38.540 That's not what observers do.
00:04:40.700 Okay?
00:04:41.620 Observers do exactly what, what's his name from Blaze that was at January 6th?
00:04:49.760 Baker.
00:04:50.020 Steve Baker, they do exact, they do that.
00:04:52.700 They stand off to the side and they watch and they write down and they record.
00:04:57.100 Okay?
00:04:57.540 That's what an observer does.
00:04:59.140 They don't block roads with their cars.
00:05:02.840 So we called Ryan.
00:05:04.800 Ryan, tell us what you found out about this group.
00:05:07.660 Ryan Morrow from the Morrow Institute.
00:05:10.340 He's the director of counterterrorism expert.
00:05:12.900 You can help his group.
00:05:14.240 And I urge you, if you want to stop Islamic extremism and you want to get to the bottom of stuff, we've just partnered with Ryan.
00:05:23.380 He is part of our research team now.
00:05:25.640 His team is so good.
00:05:26.740 But please, it's a non-profit and you can support by going to ryanmorrow.com and finding out more information.
00:05:34.260 Ryan, what did you find last night?
00:05:35.660 Sure.
00:05:37.600 Well, according to the New York Post, she became involved with this group called Minnesota Ice Watch through this charter school, which I'm still looking into and have some stuff that I want to verify before we get to that.
00:05:52.420 But as for Minnesota Ice Watch, which is the group that would be actually on the streets as opposed to the school, it was actually fairly easy research to do because they were openly radical.
00:06:04.640 It turned out this isn't really about the issue of protecting undocumented migrants, illegal immigrants, and protecting people from the abuse of the law enforcement.
00:06:15.300 It's actually about doing things like eliminating America and setting cop cars on fire.
00:06:23.220 You go to their social media page, and it doesn't take much work, actually, to find instructions on how to assault police in order to get free people, open up cop car doors, and pull people out.
00:06:39.080 They do not recognize the United States as a legitimate country.
00:06:42.560 They have posted that referred to as Turtle Island.
00:06:45.640 Oh, my gosh.
00:06:46.280 They're Turtle Island people.
00:06:48.140 Oh, my gosh.
00:06:48.960 Yes.
00:06:49.520 Okay.
00:06:51.240 Okay.
00:06:52.380 Oh.
00:06:53.500 So.
00:06:54.280 You want to explain what that is?
00:06:55.600 You go ahead.
00:06:57.440 So, Turtle Island, I'm not even sure it has a ton of merit, but it goes to this belief that a lot of the anarchists and communists spread out there saying that just like Israel should be referred to as Palestine,
00:07:09.220 then all of North and Central America should be referred to as Turtle Island because they say that the indigenous people, the Native Americans, that's what they all refer to it as.
00:07:18.840 And I'm not finding a ton of verifications that that's actually true.
00:07:21.380 But that's what they say in order to basically indirectly call for the destruction of the United States, which is a more uncomfortable thing to say than, hey, destroy Israel.
00:07:31.500 It's a little bit less popular.
00:07:32.640 And so when they start talking about liberating Turtle Island, that's what they're calling, and that's what I've been calling Turtle Island Intifada.
00:07:43.020 So they believe in that, but their language is even more aggressive than that where you actually have posts where the one that's really alarming to me, it says how to start a community defense center in your neighborhood.
00:07:57.060 And them and their allies usually say, oh, that just means we're watching, defending in terms of like, we'll give you the number to a lawyer.
00:08:04.180 Well, that's hard to say when your post has a depiction of a cop car on fire.
00:08:12.240 So when they say set up your community defense center in your local neighborhood, that's a violent intention.
00:08:19.360 That's how you build an insurgency.
00:08:21.620 Okay, hang on just a second.
00:08:22.920 That's what people watching.
00:08:23.480 Let me just tie this together.
00:08:25.100 You just heard what Ryan just said just there on that thing about protecting your neighborhood.
00:08:30.300 Can we please play the audio of Governor Walz from yesterday we played just a few minutes ago?
00:08:35.620 And listen, with that information in mind, listen to what he said.
00:08:38.820 Our history, when things looked really bleak, it was Minnesota's first that held that line for the nation on that July 3rd, 1863.
00:08:49.020 And I think now we may be in that moment that the nation's looking to us to hold the line on democracy, to hold the line on decency, to hold the line on accountability.
00:08:58.980 And more than that, to rise up as neighbors and simply say, we can look out for one another.
00:09:07.300 That, I told you 25 minutes ago, what he's doing is he is empowering and activating a neighborhood revolutionary guard.
00:09:21.440 That's exactly what Ryan was just saying in different words.
00:09:27.260 This is a group that is telling you, as neighbors, here's how we get together and protect your neighborhood from these evil police.
00:09:37.240 This is what's happening.
00:09:39.380 And the governor is encouraging it and speaking the same language.
00:09:43.560 Would you agree with that, Ryan, or am I off base?
00:09:45.880 No, I agree.
00:09:47.980 I think he's using the language that is comfortable to him, and he may not even know the origin of where that rhetoric is coming from, that it is seditious in nature.
00:09:56.920 If you look at the groups on glenbeck.com in my article, I go into some more detail about them.
00:10:02.200 I mean, they're anarchists.
00:10:03.120 They're anarcho-communist and kind of open about it.
00:10:06.640 The material that this group posts comes from groups that are quite open about that.
00:10:12.000 And they actually say, as part of setting up your community defense centers in neighborhoods, wherever you can do it, after you pick out a spot, the next step is you find local organizations to bring into your alliance.
00:10:23.620 And then you identify nearby vulnerable sites for developing strategic patrol routes, like for intelligence gathering and stuff.
00:10:31.260 And what they name are things like car washes and vendor hubs and churches.
00:10:35.780 So I suspect there's an increasing presence of the Christian anarchists, and sometimes they'll ally with open Satanists. 0.95
00:10:48.140 I've seen that.
00:10:49.500 Ally with what? 0.91
00:10:50.600 Don't be surprised.
00:10:51.120 I'm sorry.
00:10:51.740 Ally with what? 0.91
00:10:52.440 With, like, Satanists, like people who are, I'm a member of the Church of Satan type people.
00:10:57.020 And you'll see them, they'll be cross over between them within this Turtle Island movement and with Christian anarchists.
00:11:04.900 And so this mentioning of churches as vulnerable spots that need protection is just a data point to keep in mind for whatever they're envisioning.
00:11:14.520 But they're envisioning something because their post, one of their most recent posts, which was written with another more openly violent anarchist group,
00:11:23.600 actually calls for reinforcements, people to show up at a certain location, and they ask people to bring their Christmas trees to burn,
00:11:30.580 and anything that they can use to barricade the streets.
00:11:33.660 This is Ricky.
00:11:35.800 Thanks for working on this all night.
00:11:37.240 By the way, he didn't get a drop of sleep.
00:11:38.620 By the way, Ricky is our executive producer of all of the Glenn Beck stuff.
00:11:43.140 We dialed back some of the language on how we framed the headline of this.
00:11:48.400 We can definitely ascertain that it's an extremist violent group, Ice Watch is.
00:11:53.600 But you went so far as to call it a domestic terrorist group that fits the definition of the FBI.
00:12:00.560 Can you explain that?
00:12:02.240 Because that's pretty loaded.
00:12:04.600 And if we're going to make this claim about her reported ties to Ice Watch being a domestic terrorist group, please back that up.
00:12:13.000 Yes, absolutely.
00:12:14.320 I happen to have the FBI definition up here, actually.
00:12:17.980 So you go to FBI.gov, you look at the definition of domestic terrorism, and it reads as follows.
00:12:23.120 And again, this is dependent on the New York Post reporting thing.
00:12:28.460 Wait, wait, wait.
00:12:29.160 You broke up.
00:12:29.740 I don't know if you're going from your bedroom to the bathroom.
00:12:32.940 I'm not.
00:12:33.620 Wait, okay.
00:12:34.320 Stay, okay.
00:12:34.940 You're back.
00:12:35.440 Okay, go ahead.
00:12:36.020 Tell us what...
00:12:36.840 Okay, good.
00:12:37.280 So, yeah, the New York Post says that she's connected to this group, and so I'm saying that this group meets the FBI's definition of domestic terrorism, and it reads as follows.
00:12:48.060 Violent criminal acts committed by individuals and or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, social, racial, or environmental nature.
00:13:00.060 So, ideologically motivated violence that is criminal in nature, which if you're telling, if you're teaching your supporters how to free people from being in the possession of the police, I would say that fits the definition.
00:13:14.880 Wow.
00:13:16.080 Wow.
00:13:17.040 So, Ryan, have you seen anyone else?
00:13:19.920 I mean, because yesterday they tried to make her look like just a simple mom who, you know, just really cares about Somali people and justice and everything else.
00:13:31.440 And then when this came out, all I heard all day yesterday was she was just, she's an, all she is an observer.
00:13:41.360 She was just observing.
00:13:42.620 She's there with this group that they help out with making sure that nothing is wrong, and they report on the police and everything else.
00:13:49.660 Is anyone else reporting this, who this group is that she's actually with?
00:13:56.440 New York Post touched on it a bit.
00:13:58.460 They focused more on the charter school, which is apparently, according to their reporting, where she connected with Minnesota Ice Watch.
00:14:07.100 But I think that came out pretty quickly, and so maybe it just was a matter of time before people combed through it all.
00:14:14.660 But, no, that narrative is still there forming.
00:14:17.320 And as you well know, when there's controversies like this, if you're late with the facts at all, it doesn't take long for things to cement in people's minds at the moment and then in their memories a few weeks later when things fade.
00:14:30.360 And so it's important that we react rapidly with the truth and with these types of facts as these things form so people understand what's really going on.
00:14:38.720 And that the issue you're being told is the issue often isn't actually the issue.
00:14:44.340 It never is.
00:14:45.280 It never is.
00:14:47.120 Thank you so much, Ryan.
00:14:49.000 Just keep us up to speed.
00:14:50.480 The article, you can find it at glennbeck.com.
00:14:53.100 He just broke a story with us yesterday about another domestic terror group that everybody needs to be aware of.
00:15:00.500 That is on the Sharia law side of what's happening to America. 0.99
00:15:06.160 This one is just the radical anarchists and communists and Marxists that are involved.
00:15:11.800 And that is apparently who she was involved with.
00:15:15.060 She was not just somebody who is there to observe.
00:15:19.560 Again, you don't park your car across the road to block it if you're just an observer.
00:15:26.680 That's insanity.
00:15:28.200 And we all know it.
00:15:29.440 Will anyone actually admit to that in the press?
00:15:34.500 We'll see.
00:15:35.940 Ryan, thank you so much.
00:15:36.820 Where do people go to help you?
00:15:38.940 I've got to write this down so I have it.
00:15:41.460 Sure.
00:15:42.140 It's just my name.com.
00:15:44.000 RyanMorrow.com is the easiest way to do it.
00:15:46.240 So thank you for that.
00:15:47.120 You bet.
00:15:47.540 You bet.
00:15:47.880 Ryan Morrow, I have to tell you, there are several people that we have been watching over years and we rely on and look at as really good,
00:15:59.720 solid, reasonable people that we know do their homework.
00:16:03.560 That we have worked with over the years.
00:16:07.460 And one of the things that I'm doing with my new Torch project is a couple of things.
00:16:12.840 One, we're not holding back.
00:16:16.460 You know, when we would do these Wednesday night specials, it would take us about two weeks to do a Wednesday night special.
00:16:21.040 So we were always two weeks ahead on whatever it was.
00:16:25.420 And there's so much going on that what we found was by the time we would get there, there would be another story in the news that was so big that this one kind of fell by the dust.
00:16:36.100 And we don't have time to wait.
00:16:40.340 And so we've taken our Wednesday night specials and we're just putting them on radio every day.
00:16:47.480 And when we find it, we don't hold it.
00:16:49.700 We just give it to you right away because I just feel that's the right thing to do for time.
00:16:55.440 But we're also we are more than doubling our efforts on research.
00:17:03.600 And Ryan is one of our new partners, and we are working closely with them to make sure that their research is seen and heard.
00:17:12.980 And we work together because I also don't think any of us have time to duplicate efforts.
00:17:18.940 We have to work together if we're going to make progress and save not just America, Western civilization.
00:17:26.620 So if you want to support him beyond what we're doing, please go to Ryan Morrow, Ryan, M-A-U-R-O, Ryan Morrow dot com.

00:19:23.380 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:19:27.760 All right.
00:19:29.280 We are going to start taking.
00:19:32.480 Can I go now, Sarah?
00:19:33.800 Is that OK if I go now?
00:19:35.360 My own show.
00:19:36.340 I mean, my gosh, Zionist master is bullcrap. 1.00
00:19:41.360 You know, it's Sarah who controls everything that's happening here.
00:19:44.880 Oh, I'm on to you, Sarah.
00:19:46.520 Now the American people are, too.
00:19:48.580 Anyway, sorry about that.
00:19:49.580 We're going to take your phone calls, 888-727-BECK, all next hour, all your phone calls, wall to wall.
00:19:56.480 I just we have not gotten all of the news that we need to.
00:19:59.580 By the way, looks like the tariff ruling from the Supreme Court is not coming today.
00:20:06.760 I don't know if that's good news or bad news.
00:20:08.460 I don't know which I know where I fall constitutionally and I know where I fall in hopes.
00:20:15.740 And they're diametrically opposed to each other to each other.
00:20:19.780 So we'll see what happens on this.
00:20:22.080 Also, we have to talk about the president saying yesterday about Mexican land strikes.
00:20:27.300 The GDP, the Atlanta Fed has said now we're going to they're expecting in the fourth quarter to come in at five percent GDP growth.
00:20:35.480 So, you know, we started the year at what was it, point five?
00:20:41.460 I think it was point five minus minus point five in GDP growth.
00:20:46.700 And then it is just kept going up and going up.
00:20:49.540 I want to give you a history of what five percent GDP growth means.
00:20:52.960 When China was really doing well, they were between eight and nine percent GDP growth.
00:20:58.460 This is stunning if you have that kind of growth.
00:21:01.440 And I know it doesn't feel that way yet, but something is happening.
00:21:07.700 To give you a an understanding of five percent growth, our recovery from the, you know, the financial crisis, our recovery happened in 2014.
00:21:21.860 So between 2008 and 2014, but by 2014, that year, one quarter, at least we had five percent GDP growth.
00:21:32.300 OK, it took that many years.
00:21:34.900 Let me give you another stat.
00:21:36.920 In 1984, Reagan finally really kicked in and it was about eight percent GDP growth.
00:21:46.260 OK, eight percent.
00:21:47.180 If you lived in the 1980s, you know what that felt like, but it took him four years to get there.
00:21:55.540 We are just over 11 months of Trump in office and we have gone from negative growth to five.
00:22:04.300 We could be facing a very good election period economically that and that will change everything.
00:22:12.280 But we're going to continue to watch also unemployment is down again.
00:22:16.900 It's slight, but it's down again.
00:22:20.260 The last thing I want to talk to you about is Iran and what happened last night.
00:22:27.000 Jason, who is doing how's the insider behind the scenes broadcast going?
00:22:32.640 So good.
00:22:34.420 I'm missing all the comments right now, but I mean, from where they started on Monday, they were just starting to trickle in, I guess, as they were trying to figure out what this was all about.
00:22:41.440 Now I can't even keep up with it.
00:22:43.180 Now it's like a huge feature and they're like, Jason, can you can you yell into Glenn and ask him about this?
00:22:48.260 It's just amazing.
00:22:49.300 The audience.
00:22:50.680 I love them.
00:22:51.580 I love the audience.
00:22:52.460 They're just amazing.
00:22:54.220 You know, and I want to say this and I mean this sincerely and whether you believe me or not, I don't care.
00:22:58.900 But I truly love this audience.
00:23:02.280 I love every time I meet you.
00:23:04.840 I feel like we've known each other forever, even though we were meeting for the first time.
00:23:09.780 It is the most caring group of people ever.
00:23:12.460 And I I'm building what I'm building now called the torch, but it's actually glenbeck.com.
00:23:18.680 I'm building all of this stuff is my torch and it is my way of lighting something and then giving it to you so you can light the way.
00:23:28.840 And what we have planned for you to be involved and actually have this one on one conversation.
00:23:37.580 Are we doing in two weeks?
00:23:39.640 Are we doing the town hall?
00:23:42.360 We're going to have to talk to your new CEO about that.
00:23:45.020 But, you know, we're we're money.
00:23:47.200 That's our goal.
00:23:48.220 Forget it.
00:23:48.500 Forget it.
00:23:49.620 We're going to do it.
00:23:50.600 We're going to do it.
00:23:51.400 Everybody's like, it's going to cost so much money.
00:23:53.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:54.860 Abracadabra.
00:23:55.360 We'll make money at some point.
00:23:58.080 But anyway, we'll have to start taking subscriptions to make money.
00:24:01.360 I know.
00:24:01.800 But we're we really want your help on building it.
00:24:06.420 So we're building something that is actually useful to you.
00:24:10.020 And, you know, we haven't even had a chance to mention this.
00:24:14.620 And I have you seen anybody mention this yet?
00:24:16.640 The open has changed our our theme song changes every year.
00:24:20.980 Oh, they've noticed for the not the theme song for the very first time since 2020.
00:24:28.040 The verbiage has changed and it has always been the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:24:33.280 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:24:34.440 I added and changed that for the first time in 26 years, the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment and empowerment, because my goal is to empower you with knowledge and information, the facts on everything.
00:24:51.240 And we are coming up with delivery systems that nobody has done before.
00:24:56.140 And you can find those and play around with some of them at Glenn Beck dot com right now.
00:25:01.240 Anyway, let's talk about what happened last night in Israel.
00:25:05.200 I mean, sorry, in Iran.
00:25:06.620 What how it felt to me like it might fall last night, but it didn't.
00:25:13.180 I was watching last night and I completely agree with you.
00:25:15.920 I was like, we might see the regime go down tonight.
00:25:18.360 The things that we saw back in 2022, 23, the things that we saw back in 2009, this where this like started to kick off.
00:25:26.820 I remember looking at the faces of some of the protesters that were out in the streets, looking at some of the things that were willing to do.
00:25:32.640 That is nothing compared to what we saw last night.
00:25:35.480 I saw a woman last night. 1.00
00:25:37.740 She was probably 75 to 80 years old.
00:25:42.320 She was walking down the street.
00:25:43.840 She was holding up her arm in defiance and her mouth was pouring blood down her face and down her clothing.
00:25:53.680 And she was still marching to whatever objective.
00:25:56.240 I was like, I cannot believe Time magazine or whoever else wasn't there to take that photo because it's the photo of the year.
00:26:02.780 Absolutely crazy.
00:26:03.880 And keep in mind, all these thousands of people that are actually it spread to Tehran.
00:26:08.520 There are thousands, tens of thousands marching down the street in Tehran.
00:26:11.460 170 plus cities.
00:26:14.260 And another images for Time magazine are the young women without their hijab on, smoking a cigarette, lighting the Ayatollah's image on fire.
00:26:26.660 Those are starting to go viral now all over Iran.
00:26:29.700 No headscarf, smoking the cigarette, and three things they're not supposed to do right there. 1.00
00:26:34.960 I mean, they would be killed.
00:26:37.680 Well, they still might be.
00:26:39.620 That's why we have to pray for the Persian people.
00:26:42.240 I wish people knew more about the Persian people.
00:26:45.820 They, this civilization is a remarkable civilization that was way ahead of everybody else.
00:26:55.380 And Tehran was like Paris.
00:26:57.540 I mean, all the good parts and good things about Paris.
00:26:59.920 It was very enlightened.
00:27:01.220 It was very smart, very well-educated, very free.
00:27:05.620 The women, you look at pictures from the 1970s of Iran, and the women were beautiful.
00:27:12.200 You know, they were, it was a very Western country.
00:27:16.960 And the Marxists and the Islamists got together and overthrew the Shah.
00:27:22.980 And they've been living, you know, in this hell since 1979.
00:27:29.080 Since I was born.
00:27:30.240 Yeah.
00:27:30.460 Speaking of the Shah, I remember when we were talking about this back when there was the Israeli campaign and when we bombed nuclear sites. 0.96
00:27:38.360 Some people were talking about the Shah as being the person to, you know, you know, take over or lead this.
00:27:42.980 And I was very skeptical of that.
00:27:44.440 I didn't think that the people would go for it.
00:27:47.460 The stuff that was happening last night was actually called for by the Shah. 0.84
00:27:51.340 In fact, whoever he's working with, they were working with an organization that was providing like a QR code so that you could scan the QR code and film what you were doing.
00:28:00.180 They were chanting in the streets yesterday, last night, the Shah's name.
00:28:05.420 I mean, he was their battle cry.
00:28:08.840 So here's the bad thing.
00:28:10.040 So let me give you the good thing.
00:28:11.680 I told you at the beginning of the week, here's what you watch for.
00:28:14.820 I think I did a list.
00:28:17.560 I don't even know if I got to this list, but I had a list of all of the things that we have to watch for, you know, if you want to know what's going on.
00:28:24.520 And one of them was, is it growing in labor unions?
00:28:28.380 What is happening at the docks and the ports?
00:28:31.840 Are you seeing police starting to, you know, put their clubs away?
00:28:38.360 Are you starting to see the morality police kind of back off?
00:28:42.920 And all of those things you're starting to see, and it's getting better.
00:28:48.340 But on the bad side, I said, what you need to watch for is, is the Internet still up?
00:28:55.240 The phone's still working.
00:28:57.600 Does it look like the mullahs are digging in and about to oppress? 1.00
00:29:01.720 And last night, the Internet was shut off and phone service was shut off.
00:29:05.880 So you can't even call each other.
00:29:07.640 That's really frightening.
00:29:08.820 Yeah, that's frightening.
00:29:10.020 And that is confirmed.
00:29:11.680 Those two things did happen.
00:29:13.260 And that makes you still out.
00:29:15.240 That is not sure.
00:29:16.260 I would still I would assume so.
00:29:19.000 But they're clearly not wanting the world to see how they're going to respond to these people.
00:29:24.740 But there are just the wildest reports that still need to be confirmed.
00:29:28.720 But there were multiple reports that several Iranian officials were looking to get out of the country.
00:29:33.120 There was a report that the Ayatollah's ejection plan is to go to Russia.
00:29:37.920 There were reports that the main foreign minister, like their secretary of state, went to Beirut in Lebanon, took his family with him with no plans to leave at the current time, which I don't blame him.
00:29:49.980 What is Russia?
00:29:51.560 What are they thinking?
00:29:53.520 You know, Russia has a population problem.
00:29:56.400 Nobody's having babies.
00:29:57.560 And so that culture is dying quickly.
00:30:01.640 And yet the the Islamic culture is growing.
00:30:06.140 They're having 10 babies.
00:30:07.820 And so that's growing.
00:30:09.160 It's going to become a a Muslim country at some point.
00:30:14.000 Why would you bring the revolutionary mullahs into your country? 1.00
00:30:19.800 What are they thinking?
00:30:20.900 I think what they're thinking is they're seeing the empire they thought they were building slowly crumbling.
00:30:25.180 We are seeing major geopolitical shifts in the world right now, and they're all happening simultaneously.
00:30:31.300 Yeah.
00:30:31.580 South America, a big part of their key to their entire eventual takeover.
00:30:35.960 All of it.
00:30:36.580 Going away.
00:30:37.400 Gone.
00:30:37.760 Iran, another huge part, not only of their empire, like militarily through drone production, stuff like that, but also money, a lot of oil.
00:30:46.640 A lot of these pieces are just getting taken off the board.
00:30:49.400 And I think they're in desperation mode right now, which could be very dangerous.
00:30:53.800 I think I heard with you talking about being backed into the corner with the ambassador.
00:30:57.300 Oh, yeah.
00:30:57.800 Did you see Alexander Dugan's tweet?
00:31:00.780 Oh, I did.
00:31:02.040 There is no international law.
00:31:04.480 We should go.
00:31:05.080 I didn't see it about Iran.
00:31:06.660 I saw it about Venezuela.
00:31:09.220 And he said, we should go in and take Zelensky and bring him to Russia and try him.
00:31:15.320 Yeah.
00:31:15.560 I encourage everyone to go to his Twitter account just to see the mind of some of these people.
00:31:20.420 Be very careful.
00:31:21.480 Don't be very careful.
00:31:21.960 He is very good at making sense.
00:31:24.840 And you'll read some of his stuff and you'll be like, yeah, I agree with that.
00:31:28.120 You have to know what he actually believes.
00:31:31.060 Yeah.
00:31:31.280 He is an agent of chaos.
00:31:32.660 And I believe an agent of evil, literal evil.
00:31:36.840 He's very dangerous.
00:31:37.940 Be careful.
00:31:39.180 His response was very, very foreboding because he said that with the Russian military losing
00:31:44.620 so much credibility, they're going to be forced to hit and hit hard very soon just to make
00:31:50.960 an example.
00:31:52.200 I got to tell you, I think NATO wants war.
00:31:57.260 They're making moves that scare the hell out of me.
00:32:00.380 Russia wants war because they've got to, I mean, when they start to collapse, that's when people
00:32:06.800 become very dangerous.
00:32:08.400 And, you know, I think every war, you know, I can't say this, but I think 99% of wars are
00:32:17.900 started by a miscalculation.
00:32:20.500 Somebody miscalculates and the whole world set on fire.
00:32:25.540 And that's what we have to pray that no one miscalculates right now.
00:32:29.940 Because this is a tight rope that we are walking right now.
00:32:35.040 And it is extraordinarily dangerous.
00:32:39.360 What are we expecting tonight?
00:32:40.900 Do you have any idea what we, are we expecting maybe a possible roundup of people or more of
00:32:48.580 what we saw last night in Iran?
00:32:50.360 It'll be very interesting to see in the closing hours of daylight over there if we get any information
00:32:56.020 whatsoever.
00:32:56.880 But I don't, I expect more of what we saw last night.
00:32:59.620 I expect more of people hitting the streets, pushing further and further.
00:33:04.760 They were doing things last night that I never would have expected that they would do.
00:33:09.500 They were burning actual government buildings.
00:33:11.660 They were charging IRGC, you know, Revolutionary Guard Corps.
00:33:15.200 They were charging their headquarters in multiple different cities.
00:33:20.300 We could be, we could see, by Monday, we could see a free Iran. 0.95
00:33:24.420 Or you could see us being in a corner of, are we going to protect the people of Iran from this regime,
00:33:34.940 from slaughtering them?
00:33:36.080 I mean, this weekend's going to be, just pray.
00:33:39.700 Spend a lot of time praying for peace and praying for the people of Iran.
00:33:45.300 The Persian people are amazing.
00:33:48.140 And if they could get that culture back and they could be free, the source of good that Iran would be in the world 1.00
00:33:56.920 would be remarkable, remarkable.
00:34:00.320 But we are, be very, very, very, very careful.
00:34:03.680 Thank you, Jason.
00:34:04.300 I appreciate it.
00:34:04.880 You can hear Jason while we go into commercials.
00:34:07.900 If you're watching on glennbeck.com, Jason gives you a ton of information.
00:34:13.300 We have, we have added 50% more a show to this show.
00:34:18.900 If you're watching it only on glennbeck.com.
00:34:22.100 You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.
00:34:24.560 Need a little more?
00:34:25.600 Check out the full show podcast anywhere you download podcasts.
00:34:28.980 It's Friday.
00:34:30.040 Let's take some more phone calls.
00:34:31.860 I want to hear your voice.
00:34:33.040 Clint, you're up next.
00:34:35.400 What's on your mind?
00:34:38.400 Hey, Glenn.
00:34:39.140 Hey.
00:34:40.780 Hey, I was just calling about Venezuela and, you know, getting the Chinese out of there. 1.00
00:34:45.540 And I agree with all that.
00:34:46.440 But the one comment I have, though, is I live here in Utah and just a hundred miles from
00:34:51.880 my house, Smith filled food, went out of business, closed the hog farm down.
00:34:55.700 And a Chinese came in and bought that. 0.99
00:34:58.220 And it's thousands and thousands of acres.
00:34:59.980 And it's so groundwater.
00:35:01.040 It's everything.
00:35:01.780 How come we're not focused on getting them out of our own country, including Venezuela? 1.00
00:35:07.140 You know, getting them out of Venezuela as well.
00:35:08.300 But they're right here in our own country.
00:35:10.160 That'd be something I would ask.
00:35:11.800 You're so ever lovable governor.
00:35:15.360 But also, it should be for the federal government.
00:35:18.280 But, you know, there's some things that our states need to step up and do themselves.
00:35:23.620 Even in Texas, we have this problem.
00:35:25.820 Up in the Northeast, in New England, it is really bad what's going on with the Chinese 1.00
00:35:32.620 buying up property.
00:35:34.300 And we're allowing them to buy property all around some of our biggest bases in America
00:35:42.400 as well.
00:35:42.840 This has got to stop and stop now.
00:35:46.720 And the federal government should be doing it.
00:35:49.060 But if the federal government's not doing it, our states should be leading the charge as well.
00:35:53.600 When it comes to Venezuela, though, I want to urge people to start, and I don't think you're
00:36:01.500 doing this at all, Clint, but I do hear people give us these false either ors.
00:36:08.700 You know, we should be doing this, not that.
00:36:11.100 No, we should be doing both of those things.
00:36:14.000 And we need more than one person leading the charge.
00:36:18.380 That's why I encourage, you need to encourage your states.
00:36:21.320 Get off your ass and do something because we're losing our country and we're losing the
00:36:28.480 Western way of life, the Western world.
00:36:31.540 So all hands on deck on this.
00:36:34.700 But let me give you the case on Venezuela and why and what people really need to understand.
00:36:40.500 You know, there are two ways to fight.
00:36:42.540 And both both fronts should be fought because you knock them out when your states are stepping
00:36:48.720 up or somebody else in the federal government steps up and Congress decides to do their job
00:36:52.940 and they pass a law that says, if you're from China, you're not buying you're not buying
00:36:57.620 anything anymore.
00:36:58.620 No land.
00:36:59.340 No land can be sold to the Chinese. 1.00
00:37:03.200 Anybody who is a Chinese business or anything else.
00:37:06.100 Nope, not happening.
00:37:08.560 But when you look at the strategy that I think Donald Trump is using in Venezuela, you know,
00:37:15.560 you look at what what is Venezuela?
00:37:18.800 What is the problems coming from Venezuela?
00:37:21.040 They are a source of deep Marxism.
00:37:24.740 Also, they are their training camps.
00:37:26.840 They have an island.
00:37:27.460 We've told you about it for the last couple of years.
00:37:29.140 They have an island that is a training camp for Marxists and also Islamists. 0.93
00:37:37.100 You have this training camp where Hezbollah actually comes and trains people there in Venezuela.
00:37:44.380 Where do those people go?
00:37:45.840 Well, they go back to Iran for more training and then they come back.
00:37:48.860 And then where do they go?
00:37:49.940 Most likely with us.
00:37:51.480 You also have the drugs and the cartels and the human trafficking.
00:37:55.500 Um, you have China and Russia and Iran deeply involved in Venezuela.
00:38:02.880 They have basically set up a base in, uh, uh, Central America and South America.
00:38:09.900 There's bases, you know, Panama Canal is one of them.
00:38:13.180 We just allowed China just to take the mouth and the butt end of the panic Panama Canal and 1.00
00:38:19.340 control that damn thing. 0.52
00:38:20.480 And then by property all up and down the Panama Canal, really bad idea.
00:38:26.160 If you can shut down Venezuela, you start changing things.
00:38:31.180 If you kick them out and you take the oil industry away and you say, no, you're not going to sell
00:38:38.500 oil to China, to Russia, to any of our, any of our, uh, our enemies in the world that cripples 1.00
00:38:47.540 China and this is why this is so important by controlling the oil in Venezuela, you are 0.85
00:38:53.360 crippling China that takes about 70% of all oil from Venezuela and uses it that cripples 1.00
00:38:59.560 them on power.
00:39:00.380 It cripples them on any of their industry, any of their shipping.
00:39:04.620 They need to have oil just as much as everybody else does.
00:39:08.160 They buy a great share of that from Venezuela.
00:39:14.260 The other great share that they get is from Russia and Iran.
00:39:19.800 If you're now shutting down Iran, if Iran can topple this weekend, you have so degraded
00:39:26.740 the power of China.
00:39:28.340 They're not going to go into Taiwan.
00:39:30.140 They won't have the energy to be able to go into Taiwan.
00:39:32.820 You're going to slow them down on all fronts.
00:39:36.160 Plus Venezuela, you don't have to dig the gold out of the ground in Venezuela, but they
00:39:40.860 have huge gold reserves still in the ground in the mountains of Venezuela by taking that
00:39:46.480 out of the China, uh, or the, um, uh, the bricks column by taking all of that mountain of
00:39:54.460 gold away from them.
00:39:56.480 Um, that hurts them and S and slows them down at least from coming up with a currency that
00:40:02.940 is a gold back currency that can knock the United States currency out of a leadership
00:40:09.400 position, um, which again, helps save our country by crippling them financially.
00:40:15.520 They don't have the money to buy up land here as well to send people for training here.
00:40:23.300 Um, you are fighting the W E F, uh, fight and you're fighting the Chinese belt and road 0.96
00:40:30.700 initiative right there.
00:40:32.400 And if you can do that, they don't have the money to send people in and send all that money
00:40:37.760 to our universities to buy up land, to put terror on our own streets.
00:40:42.140 The Marxist movements that are currently being funded here in America, a lot of that is happening,
00:40:49.460 um, in our own country because they're sending all this money.
00:40:54.120 It's China, it's Iran, and it is Russia that is doing most of this. 0.99
00:40:58.100 We got to find a way to cripple them. 0.98
00:41:00.300 So don't make it either or we shouldn't, and you weren't doing this, but we shouldn't be
00:41:05.060 doing, why are we doing this in Venezuela when we should be concentrating on this?
00:41:10.600 We should be doing both.
00:41:12.120 We need more than one person coming up with these things and doing it.
00:41:18.700 If Donald Trump dropped dead tomorrow, who's leading this?
00:41:23.620 We need other people in states.
00:41:26.660 You should be saying to your governor, why are you letting this happen in our own state?
00:41:32.520 We go to Minneapolis and Minnesota.
00:41:34.960 Why aren't you at the governor's doorstep right now saying, how did you let this happen?
00:41:39.140 Why is he the only one that's not responsible for the biggest embezzlement or the biggest,
00:41:46.080 uh, ripoff in possibly American history, but certainly the history of that state?
00:41:52.480 How is he not being held responsible?
00:41:54.220 How has no one lost their jobs?
00:41:57.280 Why is no one going to jail?
00:41:59.840 Because everybody's saying, well, Donald Trump will do it.
00:42:02.480 How come Donald Trump's not do it?
00:42:04.700 Where are you?
00:42:06.000 Where are you in your own state?
00:42:08.040 Where is your governor?
00:42:09.960 Where is your attorney general?
00:42:12.020 Where is anyone else?
00:42:15.160 Uh, let me go to Jen in North Carolina. 0.90
00:42:17.840 Hi, Jen.
00:42:20.160 Thank you, brother Beck.
00:42:21.860 Um, I'm thank you for all your honesty over these years.
00:42:24.980 I mean, I've been listening to you since 2002.
00:42:28.320 Wow.
00:42:28.860 Holy smokes.
00:42:29.680 Sorry for that.
00:42:30.500 I am really, really trying to live in Thanksgiving every day.
00:42:35.920 And a few days ago, you were speaking about acquiring real property.
00:42:40.300 And my husband and I are dual military.
00:42:42.480 And the army Navy game is awesome because of that dual military.
00:42:46.840 But we are trying, we are really trying to find farmland.
00:42:53.660 And retirement's coming soon.
00:42:55.680 Yeah.
00:42:55.920 And we've been looking across four states.
00:43:00.240 I mean, let me say if I can predict your problem.
00:43:03.380 It's really expensive because the Bill Gates and the corporations of the world are buying it all up.
00:43:09.220 And they're driving the prices up and we can't even get our foot in the door.
00:43:15.840 Yeah.
00:43:16.240 And I do not want to be a complainer.
00:43:19.400 I want to be wise and I want a game plan.
00:43:24.460 But this is starting to feel too FOMO.
00:43:27.840 And I just need a little pick me up.
00:43:30.400 I know that we'll, we will walk through with our heavenly father, but I just need a little pick me up.
00:43:38.120 And what can we do?
00:43:41.700 Well, you keep, you keep looking, you don't give up.
00:43:44.760 And you also, again, encourage others to see the problem.
00:43:51.460 You know, this is why I said yesterday, and I just said it a few minutes ago,
00:43:55.660 when it comes to this thing about corporations not being able to buy property,
00:44:01.080 I celebrated when he said that.
00:44:03.640 I don't agree with the solution.
00:44:05.380 But at least we're having this conversation.
00:44:09.540 And, you know, we need to, instead of just saying, you can't do that.
00:44:16.300 Well, let's be part of the solution.
00:44:19.360 What can we do?
00:44:20.920 And if the federal government won't do it, again, why aren't your states?
00:44:26.300 There has to be states.
00:44:28.840 I mean, I'm so impressed with DeSantis and the way he has run Florida and the balls that this guy has
00:44:37.280 to take on things that everybody said were untouchable.
00:44:41.160 He has totally transformed.
00:44:44.640 And even, you know, towards the end here, he's still trying to get a property tax abolished.
00:44:51.180 And he's doing it in such a way where it's all being passed into law, so it'll take a lot to undo them.
00:44:58.720 Where are the other people?
00:45:00.340 Are there no, are there really seriously that few governors that love their country?
00:45:06.660 Because I don't believe this.
00:45:07.760 That love their country, that want to save the Western world, to save our way of life,
00:45:13.360 to save the people of their own states from being overrun by giant corporations?
00:45:20.040 Really, there's nobody?
00:45:22.480 I believe there are tons of patriots who are there.
00:45:26.120 There are tons.
00:45:26.620 I know many of your state legislators and senators because I meet with them all over the country.
00:45:32.820 I believe there are tons of those people.
00:45:36.620 What we have a lack of is courage.
00:45:40.520 We have a lack of people in political positions that, especially in governors,
00:45:46.580 that have the courage to stand up and say, we're not doing that.
00:45:51.000 I'm sorry, vote me out.
00:45:53.180 But we're not doing it.
00:45:55.600 We have to have people who are willing to lose everything.
00:45:59.760 You know, and it's hard.
00:46:02.820 It's really hard.
00:46:05.840 You know, when I announced what I was doing a year ago to my staff and to everybody in my life,
00:46:13.140 everybody's like, Glenn, what are you doing?
00:46:15.200 Why would you do that?
00:46:16.680 Why?
00:46:17.120 You could lose everything.
00:46:18.580 You're putting everything at this point in your life.
00:46:21.400 You're going to put everything at risk and you're going to do that.
00:46:24.100 Why?
00:46:24.580 Why would you do that?
00:46:27.200 Because I think it's the right thing to do.
00:46:28.880 And I think it's the right thing for me to do.
00:46:30.780 And I don't really care.
00:46:32.240 I don't care.
00:46:33.580 If as long as I am prayerfully looking at everything, as long as I am using reason, logic,
00:46:42.580 and I'm doing my own homework, it may not work out the way I wanted it to work out.
00:46:47.800 But I'm old enough in my life to see that even my failures have turned into success,
00:46:54.500 and maybe not financial, but it has turned into success and led me to where I've needed to be.
00:47:01.460 And so when you start looking at the world that way, courage changes.
00:47:06.880 It changes because you're not, it's not this or that.
00:47:13.460 It's I know it's all going to be fine and I'm going to be exactly where I'm supposed to be in life,
00:47:19.640 learning the lessons I'm supposed to learn in life because I'm not here to be successful.
00:47:25.780 I wasn't born to be successful and to have all the money that I wanted and live the way I want or whatever.
00:47:32.440 That's not why I was born.
00:47:34.040 I was born to live, to live a good life, to learn, to work hard,
00:47:40.200 to learn important eternal lessons and help others learn important, my children, number one, to help them.
00:47:49.980 So we as people and me as an individual soul can grow.
00:47:55.860 When you start looking at things that way, courage changes.
00:48:03.880 You still might be afraid.
00:48:04.960 I mean, you know, especially after Charlie Kirk died, were there times that I was very nervous?
00:48:10.200 About going on stage someplace?
00:48:11.860 You damn right I was.
00:48:14.100 But I knew everything was going to work out, even if that means the worst.
00:48:19.000 It's all going to be fine.
00:48:20.160 It's all going to be fine.
00:48:23.320 Our politicians need to start, we need to start voting people in who understand what courage is.
00:48:32.060 And what courage is, is just doing the next right thing because you know no matter what happens to you,
00:48:40.200 it's going to be okay.
00:48:43.480 So when you get into office, we need to start voting for people and go, look, this is just the way it is.
00:48:49.220 We have to do these things.
00:48:51.780 They are constitutional.
00:48:54.520 I've mapped it all out.
00:48:56.100 And I'm not going to surrender.
00:48:58.720 And if that means they shoot me, if that means I lose the next election, if that means I lose everything, fine, so be it.
00:49:08.240 I was born to do what I am supposed to do.
00:49:12.780 And I am born to grow and to help others grow.
00:49:17.240 And at this point, Western civilization is up for grabs.
00:49:22.020 And I'm not going to stand around and worry about me over that.
