When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners,
00:00:08.520
Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.
00:00:33.220
Pat, Stu, and I look back on 14 years ago today.
00:00:36.520
Plus, CNN is amazed that their polls don't confirm their bias.
00:00:42.960
We also have more information on the Colorado anti-Semitic attack from over the weekend.
00:00:47.920
If we don't speak out against this evil, it's going to boil over on all of us soon.
00:00:52.940
And Sarah Adams on what Tom Holman was talking about, a 9-11 terrorist attack.
00:01:03.720
If there's one thing we've learned just in the last few years is that the world doesn't
00:01:09.000
send out a save the date before it falls apart.
00:01:14.320
They don't wait to get you, well, let's wait and let's get you through this busy season to show up.
00:01:22.740
Whether it's a cyber attack, a grid failure, supply chain, any kind of collapse, or something that nobody saw coming.
00:01:29.640
If you don't have food on hand, you're relying on a system that is proven time and time again that it will break.
00:01:37.800
My Patriot Supply is still running their Memorial Day sale.
00:01:41.940
You can save up to 60% on their emergency gear that matters most.
00:01:45.800
Long-term food kits, water filtration systems, off-grid power sources, and so much more.
00:01:53.080

So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:03:01.760
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:07.920
Every day I get to work with two of my best friends, Stu and Pat.
00:03:15.500
And Pat, it was 14 years ago today that I announced I was leaving Fox News and starting GBTV.
00:03:27.660
I mean, you remember how scared we were of that?
00:03:41.140
I mean, we have some audio from the press when I announced this and said, you know, were mocking me and saying, you know, good luck on the internet.
00:03:50.140
Because nobody was, I mean, it was weirdos that were doing podcasts.
00:03:53.740
I mean, it's still weirdos doing podcasts, but it was weirdos doing podcasts at the time.
00:03:58.020
There weren't, the podcasts were not like they are now.
00:04:06.880
And my goal then, 14 years ago, was to crack the back of the mainstream media and give other voices a chance to be heard.
00:04:20.780
Glenn, I pitched you in the break a story I wanted to do for you and Pat.
00:04:28.860
So, there was a story that I think years and years ago would have been a major story.
00:04:33.180
Like, we would have been talking about it maybe over multiple days.
00:04:37.580
We would have been going back in the history of it.
00:04:40.820
And I don't think either one of you even know it occurred.
00:04:53.160
Literally zero reaction whatsoever, which I think 10 years ago, 15 years ago, would have been a big story that we would have been talking a lot about.
00:05:03.980
So, last night, last night, they debuted a new permanent anchor of NBC Nightly News.
00:05:51.300
I have to tell you, I want to thank this audience.
00:06:01.940
They're like, I was one of the founding members.
00:06:05.420
I mean, people were subscribed six months before we even had a product.
00:06:11.080
And I just can't thank you enough for everything you did.
00:06:19.020
Look at the impact that Blaze, Blaze paved the way for Daily Wire, for all of it.
00:06:35.860
I mean, and think about, because it was totally unrelated, had no idea it was the 14-year anniversary of this.
00:06:42.780
It is the exact thing you were talking about back then, that we're going to get to a period where none of this matters.
00:06:50.040
None of what the mainstream media doing even matters.
00:06:56.860
It was a thing that everyone watched every night.
00:07:00.820
I think nobody in this audience had any idea that they had just switched permanent anchors of that.
00:07:13.700
And a lot of it comes to do with the transition, Glenn.
00:07:28.520
And you guys, I just, I wanted to say not only thank you to the audience, but thank you.
00:07:36.220
You guys have been with me through war, it seems.
00:07:39.780
And you have always been loyal to me, always watched my back.
00:07:46.540
And I can't thank you enough for all of the years that you've been with me.
00:07:52.480
Keep going because your voice is starting to waver.
00:07:57.460
Let me play something now from CNN, which just shows you how out of touch they are.
00:08:05.500
Look at the veteran pollster from CNN as he's going through the latest polling about Republicans and Democrats.
00:08:15.800
The first five months of the Donald Trump presidency, right?
00:08:18.840
The first four months of the Donald Trump presidency that you expect that Democrats would have this massive lead on the economy.
00:08:26.360
The party that is closest to your economic views.
00:08:28.700
In November of 2023, it was the Republicans by 11 points.
00:08:31.640
Now it's still within that range, still within that margin of error, plus eight point advantage for the Republican Party.
00:08:40.260
If it was just this one CNN poll, that would be one thing.
00:08:48.080
Well, in May of 2024, just before Donald Trump was reelected president, Republicans had a nine point advantage.
00:08:57.000
The advantage actually went up by three points.
00:08:59.880
The Democrats are down by 12 points on the economy.
00:09:02.220
This speaks to Democratic problems on the economy better than basically anything that you could possibly look at.
00:09:10.700
He's then trying to explain this is a problem for the Democrats, but he doesn't even understand how that's happening.
00:09:16.860
I mean, I don't understand how he doesn't understand.
00:09:20.340
He's like, how is this possible, Democrats, that they have a better economic plan and people are liking it?
00:09:26.340
I don't know what is the Democratic economic plan.
00:09:41.020
You know, here's the here's I mean, he answers his own question here.
00:09:48.320
Which is the party of the middle class has been a huge advantage for Democrats.
00:09:51.940
I have polling from NBC going all the way back since 1989 when Democrats had a 23 point advantage.
00:09:58.680
But by this decade, we already started seeing declines back in 2022 where you saw that Democrats led, but only by four points, well within the margin of error.
00:10:07.020
And now in our latest CNN poll among registered voters, which is the party of the middle class.
00:10:12.460
This, I think, speaks to Democratic ills more than anything else.
00:10:15.420
They have traditionally been the party of the middle class.
00:10:19.100
Donald Trump and the Republican Party have taken that mantle away.
00:10:21.520
And now a key advantage for Democrats historically has gone adios amigos.
00:10:25.860
And now there is no party that is the party of the middle class.
00:10:35.100
And of the people over at CNN, Harry is actually a pretty darn good data analyst.
00:10:44.500
I mean, how can you be a pollster and not see how, you know, look at they're not the party of the middle class.
00:10:56.100
It is all elites and wild, rich people that are completely out of touch with anyone who even relates to Donald Trump liking working behind the counter at McDonald's.
00:11:07.760
And who was it this on who was it talked about during the campaign?
00:11:11.980
The price of eggs, the price of gas, the price that middle class people care about.
00:11:24.540
He said, although I've seen this written about elsewhere, I was honestly surprised about how strong the relationship is.
00:11:31.320
The in the demographics on who takes antidepressants and goes to therapy.
00:11:37.760
Among voters who report poor mental health, liberals outnumber conservatives 45 percent to 19 percent.
00:11:46.660
Those who report excellent mental health, conservatives outnumber liberals 51 to 20.
00:11:55.480
So the young men that Democrats have trouble with aren't necessarily the ones who have been captured by the conservative manosphere or have been looking for a helping hand.
00:12:04.440
Rather, it's those who report relatively high mental health and see Democrats as being too neurotic and perhaps constraining their opportunity to compete and reap rewards of their work.
00:12:23.600
And they need a study to figure out what they're doing wrong.
00:12:26.600
I will say, though, I think, like, Harry Enten, in some ways, echoes that, though, right?
00:12:35.660
The reason for that transition is Donald Trump.
00:12:40.160
I mean, this is what this is the change he's brought to the party.
00:12:43.160
And that is that is the reason for that success, because Donald Trump has been able to connect to those voters.
00:12:54.580
I think Donald Trump reflected the change that was already there.
00:12:59.580
I mean, he really is the Tea Party candidate in many ways.
00:13:04.900
He was he embodies what so many people were saying and feeling.
00:13:12.680
You just, you know, when everybody else was taken down time and time again, and they would then start to, you know, fudge and melt in their spine would go crooked.
00:13:24.520
And I think that's why he's the leader, because he acted like a leader who actually believed in what he was saying.
00:13:36.640
I don't think he's the Tea Party candidate at all.
00:13:38.880
I don't I don't think it's I think it's a totally different view of of the role of government.
00:13:46.620
And I think, yes, he is connected to a lot of those voters who maybe didn't like the Tea Party approach.
00:13:53.840
I mean, this is a chart I was looking at yesterday.
00:14:00.560
What I meant what I mean by Tea Party is the one that is is disconnected from the government and saying the government is out of control.
00:14:15.940
It's when I say that I don't mean the Tea Party solution.
00:14:19.660
I mean the the thing that he is a reflection of what the Tea Party felt was the problem.
00:14:26.000
His solution is different, but he's responding to the same problems.
00:14:33.920
I think what I was going to, I think, does disagree with that.
00:14:37.920
That doesn't mean that aren't elements of what you're saying that are completely accurate.
00:14:42.500
This is the question that has been asked for a very long time.
00:14:45.800
Some people think the government is trying to do too many things.
00:14:50.000
It should be left to individuals and businesses.
00:14:51.760
Others think that government should do more to solve our country's problems, which is closer to your view.
00:14:57.200
That number of people saying the government's trying to do too much, like I want it out of my life.
00:15:04.440
OK, it was a well over 60 percent of Americans.
00:15:08.040
Since that moment, that has totally, we're on a roller coaster drop on that poll.
00:15:20.940
It dropped down to under 50 to 48 percent in like 2023 and is now dropped again to 41 percent.
00:15:31.320
So now we are overwhelmingly a country that believes the government has to do more.
00:15:38.280
And the movement there is not on the left, is not on the left.
00:15:42.140
The left already believed the government needed to do more.
00:15:47.100
Let me ask you if if this is just me trying to look at, you know, the glass half full.
00:15:54.240
Is that a response of the government isn't doing anything?
00:16:08.560
I mean, I'm wondering if that response is not that we want more Medicare, Medicaid, everything else.
00:16:15.380
It's that we want the government to do what it's supposed to.
00:16:28.620
Yeah, I think there's some of that that's probably worked in there, though.
00:16:33.460
And these numbers have never looked like this in this country.
00:16:36.980
Ever since they've been asking this poll, it has never looked like this.
00:16:40.180
This is a different country than we've ever lived in.
00:16:45.400
Might be something that everybody's excited about.
00:16:49.360
I'm not excited about that particular development, though.
00:16:52.000
Some of the stuff we've talked about in this break, I am excited about.
00:16:58.940
You remember this and bring this up next hour because I'm going to show you some things next hour and the hour after that make that number disturbing.
00:17:06.720
I didn't know that number, and that makes it very, very disturbing.
00:17:11.880
And thanks for your friendship and all the years of support.
00:17:14.880
There's a sad little world hiding in your freezer right now.
00:17:20.280
It's a, well, it's an abandoned half bag full of peas stuck together with frozen green brick and a mysterious Ziploc bag labeled Thanksgiving stuffing.
00:17:36.700
Single pizza roll shriveled, curled into itself like a retired MMA fighter who's seen too much.
00:17:42.960
These are the forgotten foods, the cold, unloved survivors, the meals that never happen, and they're lonely.
00:17:50.080
Because the one thing in your freezer that you should be full of, the thing that makes all of those other ingredients worth using, is meat.
00:17:59.820
Every cut they sell is 100% American, raised on U.S. farms by U.S. ranchers and delivered right to your door.
00:18:08.140
Top fresh, good quality, flash frozen for freshness.
00:18:12.100
Packaged so you'll never have to wonder what's inside or where that thing came from.
00:18:19.720
But you can fill your freezer with something worth eating, something worth cooking, something worth sharing.
00:18:38.040
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:18:41.740
Let me talk to you about a story that was developing yesterday, and we're at a boiling point.
00:18:46.600
You remember the story about the frog in the pot, how if you raise the heat slowly enough, it'll never jump out before it's boiled alive.
00:19:00.400
The bubbles are breaking the surface, and we're just still sitting there.
00:19:04.040
You know, we're like, nope, I guess we're in a hot tub.
00:19:08.300
Yesterday, I told you about what happened in Boulder, Colorado.
00:19:10.540
A man, an illegal immigrant, twice overstaying his visa, set a Jewish grandmother on fire.
00:19:18.360
An illegal alien from Egypt that the Biden administration ignored the expiring visa two times, shouting,
00:19:34.220
free Palestine, sets this Jewish grandmother, survivor of the Holocaust, on fire in America.
00:19:49.660
No, Mohammed Salman had planned it for over a year.
00:19:56.560
He waited until his daughter had graduated so he could burn the Jews alive with a clean
00:20:10.160
He said if he had given the chance again, he'd do it again and again and again.
00:20:29.260
Because on American soil, in a college town, in the New West, you know, I think, I don't
00:20:36.160
know if you know who Primo Levi was, but he was a Holocaust survivor.
00:20:42.320
And he's the guy who coined the term gray zone.
00:20:46.280
And he described the gray zone as a murky moral space that happened in the concentration
00:20:52.020
camps where the victims were often coerced into morally compromising situations, you know,
00:21:04.560
Let me transpose that idea into modern day America.
00:21:09.960
I think many people in America today are not silent because they're indifferent.
00:21:15.460
A lot of people seem to be indifferent, but a lot of people are also remaining silent, not
00:21:21.600
They're silent because speaking out, especially online, could destroy their career, their reputations,
00:21:28.220
their families, doxing, blacklisting, swatting, losing your job for a single comment, just
00:21:38.440
Fear in that kind of environment becomes the governing force.
00:21:43.720
And fear is the soil in which totalitarianism grows best.
00:21:48.600
So, yes, Americans who instinctively recoil from today's overt anti-Semitism but keeps
00:21:56.240
quiet out of self-preservation are not morally equivalent to the aggressors, but they are
00:22:02.420
perhaps inside a digital gray zone, one where the cost of conscience is rising and silence
00:22:13.240
I kind of hope that it's more apathy in a way because maybe we can wake people up from
00:22:18.980
But if you're already feeling that I'm not speaking out because I'm in a moral gray zone,
00:22:31.760
The anti-racism advocates scroll by in silence.
00:22:35.920
The very people who claim to be defenders of truth and tolerance just can't seem to summon
00:22:55.280
Not, well, I don't understand what his motivate.
00:23:08.460
If this had been the other way around, if a white man had firebombed a mosque while screaming
00:23:13.800
ethnic slurs, this country would be on fire today.
00:23:23.900
We'd have blue ribbon panels, ribbon hashtags, every anchor on every channel, you know, in
00:23:30.080
black ties and solemn tones, warning, warning, warning.
00:23:34.740
But a Jewish woman in her 80s gets burned alive by a radicalized illegal.
00:23:42.700
And the media just kind of pretends not to see it.
00:23:50.800
I mean, you told me years ago that when I warned, warned that this was going to, what
00:23:57.900
we saw in the 1930s on the streets of Germany and Europe, we would see again on the streets
00:24:14.920
Well, I ask you now, should I still be sitting down?
00:24:23.000
You can't fight darkness if you can't name the darkness.
00:24:26.200
You can't stop the flames if you refuse to admit that the match has already been struck.
00:24:35.280
The deeper truth here is this is not about one man.
00:24:40.760
This is about systems that we have allowed to rot.
00:24:48.180
The ideologies that we no longer even challenge.
00:24:51.840
The universities that have surrendered and now have become a church and our real churches
00:25:04.180
This is what happens to a civilization when you abandon truth for tribalism.
00:25:10.760
When you trade your civilization for a hashtag or a slogan.
00:25:14.040
When you embrace nihilistic, intersectional worldviews that sees Jews as oppressors,
00:25:20.440
Christians as relics, and America as the villain.
00:25:24.000
I don't say this lightly because I know what this word actually means, at least from Ezekiel.
00:25:53.720
And let me ask you, do you think Boulder, what happened in Boulder, do you think that's going
00:25:59.620
Do you think Solomon is the only one that was doing this kind of planning?
00:26:12.780
And it doesn't stop with one grandmother or one synagogue.
00:26:23.340
And if we don't put this fire out right now, open our eyes and close our borders, clean out
00:26:33.160
our house, clean out our house ideologically, then this is just a dress rehearsal for something
00:26:45.520
And what will happen to a country like ours if we're hit like 9-11 again?
00:26:50.920
Will we just go right immediately into blame or will we unite?
00:26:58.800
It would be great if we could unite, but I don't think we do anymore.
00:27:07.980
But the fire is not going to be put out this time by sending soldiers overseas.
00:27:20.920
We still have Democrats saying, well, you've got to let them in.
00:27:37.480
This time, unlike 9-11, when it comes, it's going to come with AI generated lies, deep
00:27:44.420
fakes, bot armies, mobs so drunk on grievances that they will light the match, set you on fire
00:27:54.960
We really have reached the moment where the old west needs to rise up again or be reduced to myth.
00:28:10.380
And I don't mean the gun-slinging, well, new sheriff in town.
00:28:15.360
I mean the west where the towns gathered to stop the bad guys, where there were still pioneers,
00:28:22.220
there were still people who believed in the ever-expanding sky of the west.
00:28:50.540
We've let the lamps go out, and the wolves are watching, and they are here.
00:29:14.980
We have to stop saying USA, USA, USA and wave the flag.
00:29:19.860
And start understanding what that flag stands for.
00:29:29.020
Do we know our rights and our responsibilities?
00:29:32.020
Do we know what we have to do to remain a decent civilization?
00:29:41.340
Because I tell you, if it happens this time, Patriot Act is going to look like a puppet show.
00:29:46.480
This time, it is going to come with AI and surveillance of literal, possibly biblical proportions.
00:29:56.500
And I mean the kind of biblical surveillance that you find at the end of the book.
00:30:08.380
Or are we just going to sit here quietly, hoping that maybe, just maybe, the fire is going to pass us by?
00:30:14.560
You know, that Donald Trump can solve this one, too.
00:30:22.640
And strangely, that is right up the alley of many people on the left.
00:30:29.140
A fire that will consume and burn it all down to the ground.
00:30:35.240
Now, if I were Jewish today, I'd kind of be panicking.
00:30:41.840
Look at what's happened to America in three weeks to Jews.
00:31:02.960
It's about standing up right now, while we still can, and say, no, no, no.
00:32:00.860
but in our hearts, our institutions, our resolve.
00:32:25.380
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:32:40.680
And she's also a former CIA intelligence analyst and targeter,
00:32:45.080
which I think, Sarah, means that if you watch the old show 24,
00:32:59.060
I read a response from you yesterday on a tweet that was talking about
00:33:11.040
And you said, quote, it's going to get a lot worse.
00:33:15.320
Coming from you, that carries a little more weight than it would coming from me.
00:33:20.840
Why do you believe the attacks are about to escalate?
00:33:26.940
One is just the fact that we've allowed kind of like this radicalization
00:33:34.140
And as you know, if you don't nip that in the bud,
00:33:40.560
But the other thing is, you know, because of how we left Afghanistan
00:33:46.460
Bin Laden's sons are planning another 9-11 on U.S. soil.
00:33:51.880
we have something much bigger than obviously what we saw in those two places,
00:33:56.900
So do you believe that people are already here?
00:34:03.180
How many terrorists do you think have come in in the last four years?
00:34:08.320
Yeah, so I think the majority of them are already here.
00:34:14.380
So according to Al-Qaeda, they sent 1,000 people here to participate in that one event.
00:34:20.000
According to ISIS, they have 2,500 terrorists in the United States who are not here on a legal status.
00:34:26.560
So that doesn't even account any ISIS members who are U.S. citizens, green card holders, or U.S. visa holders.
00:34:33.420
According to the former head of Afghans Intelligence Services,
00:34:37.440
1,000 Afghans here who are linked to a designated terrorist organization.
00:34:42.000
So when you start putting these numbers together, we know other terrorist groups have come in,
00:34:47.020
A lot of the Pakistani terrorist groups have come in.
00:34:49.800
You know, the numbers probably in the last four years are easily over 8,000 terrorists have come in.
00:35:04.440
Any parts of these groups coordinated, do you think?
00:35:09.420
There are some, like, joint agreements between ISIS and al-Qaeda.
00:35:13.820
Like, ISIS is supposed to do the attacks in the United States kind of in mid-tier cities.
00:35:18.260
While al-Qaeda's goal is going to be, like, Washington, D.C., aviation.
00:35:23.200
So they did divvy up some types of different attacks they would do.
00:35:27.860
And as you know, then there's just a lot of people that are bad actors, that hate our country.
00:35:35.440
Because they just don't like the way we live, the way women have rights, all those type of things about, you know, how society works here.
00:35:42.960
I did a show back in the old days when I was on CNN around the turn of the century, and it was about Beslan.
00:35:51.400
And that has been the thing that has really terrified me, the idea that actors could be here
00:35:59.920
and then go after our small cities and our schools and just cause terror in several small cities,
00:36:07.940
unlike America has ever seen before, like Beslan.
00:36:14.300
And obviously, terrorists have long been focused on schools.
00:36:17.420
You know, we haven't talked a lot to administrators at schools,
00:36:20.360
but we've had a lot of discussions over the last six to eight months over different church surveillance incidents.
00:36:25.520
And in some cases, they do have schools attached to them,
00:36:28.980
and there are people that are asking questions about the schools
00:36:31.920
or trying to access the schools who don't have children, right?
00:36:35.560
Why would you want to know anything about how a school operates
00:36:38.440
if you don't even have children to put into the school?
00:36:47.380
I'm worried we've dropped the ball a little on counterterrorism, especially on al-Qaeda, right?
00:36:51.840
There really is no government collection or understanding of what al-Qaeda senior leadership is doing.
00:36:58.540
We have no collection or focus on the bin Laden's at all.
00:37:06.980
And then, as you know, when you divert all your focusing resources to one thing,
00:37:12.200
then obviously you lose capacity in other areas.
00:37:14.680
And the way we left Afghanistan, you know, the commander of CENTCOM said this.
00:37:22.380
So we don't have the information to even get ahead of this, unfortunately.
00:37:28.660
The group that is most active in targeting us, I saw something from, who was it,
00:37:37.440
One of the countries overseas said yesterday that they blamed this attack on the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:37:44.580
Well, so the individual showed, you know, support to the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:37:50.120
The thing with the Muslim Brotherhood is almost like a fabric of, like, the terrorist movement, right?
00:37:55.800
So almost all of them support the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:37:59.740
The Muslim Brotherhood is almost like the PR firm of terrorists, right?
00:38:07.180
They create organizations, could be sports clubs, could be NGOs.
00:38:11.140
And they bring that influence into these countries.
00:38:13.820
We've seen them have a lot of effect in Spain, in France,
00:38:19.360
to where those governments now actually can't tackle the Muslim Brotherhood influence.
00:38:23.340
So it's kind of like two sides of the same coin, if that makes sense.
00:38:27.180
But probably the United States is we've never banned the Muslim Brotherhood,
00:38:31.180
so nobody's doing anything effective against them.
00:38:35.300
What happens if we're – how do you see this unfolding?
00:38:39.100
First of all, you know, I've got a story next hour about – what is it?
00:38:44.620
Holland, I think, that is just on the verge of collapse.
00:38:47.560
And they're just – they just will not, you know, do the right thing.
00:38:56.600
And I'm very concerned that Europe is just a ticking time bomb,
00:39:04.700
And, you know, the Muslim Brotherhood or whomever gives word go, go, go,
00:39:16.320
Are they first or are we first or does it matter?
00:39:23.760
So I do think there's probably some more near-term ISIS-related attacks in Europe
00:39:28.660
before, like, a huge attack in the United States, you know, especially in Germany.
00:39:32.660
But there is very large plots, like, in the United States,
00:39:36.000
and they're in Sweden, France, United Kingdom, and Norway.
00:39:41.880
So they do – are targeting certain countries,
00:39:44.660
and they're targeting the countries, as you can imagine,
00:39:53.440
Like, they'll pick up these guys and put them in prison for five years.
00:39:56.740
Because just, like, about 10 days ago, Germany picked up a terrorist.
00:40:02.000
He is actually slotted to be one of the U.S. homeland attack commanders.
00:40:06.640
The crazy part is they pick him up, and then they publicly say,
00:40:11.900
He's a Libyan from an al-Qaeda-affiliated group.
00:40:14.720
So they don't even know the people they're arresting, which is really scary.
00:40:17.900
And this is a problem all across Europe, especially in Sweden's a nightmare.
00:40:21.540
There is a terrorist attack, like, every day in Sweden.
00:40:28.060
Gosh, it's funny, because I left Iraq and was going to do a show in Sweden.
00:40:34.280
This was probably 10 years ago, because I thought Sweden is the canary in the coal mine.
00:40:39.120
They are so open, they're so friendly, they take everybody in, and my crew was accosted on the streets.
00:40:49.280
It happened later to 60 Minutes, and everybody, you know, talked about that one.
00:40:53.360
But the exact same thing happened to us in the same place a year before.
00:41:05.960
And I think this thing, if it happens, is just going to happen so rapidly,
00:41:12.060
it will be hard for the West to catch its breath.
00:41:16.100
Yeah, and that's the way you need to do it, right?
00:41:18.220
So obviously the fall of Afghanistan happened rapidly.
00:41:23.420
They're trying to make the fall of Mogadishu happen rapidly.
00:41:25.960
It's going to Florida, and I expect, like, the terrorists are starting to realize
00:41:29.160
these blitzkrieg type of events are the better way to do some of these operations.
00:41:35.020
And so they're planning them a lot more aggressively.
00:41:36.820
I think we're still stuck in, like, a 2001 terrorist mindset, that they move slow,
00:41:44.060
And I think it's become a lot more aggressive, and I don't think our assessments have evolved
00:41:50.440
You know, I really wonder, because, you know, you see what Ukraine did in Russia over the weekend.
00:41:57.260
I mean, they took out, the estimates are, they took out a third of the Strategic Air Command
00:42:03.720
That's something we would have loved to have been able to do years ago.
00:42:10.800
And here's this almost now third world country with no army to speak of doing that kind of damage
00:42:17.440
miles, thousands of miles inside of the borders.
00:42:26.400
They took out, like, 7 billion of equipment just using drones, which is so low cost.
00:42:31.400
And low cost is obviously great alternatives for terrorists, right?
00:42:37.240
And it's no secret terrorists have used drones, right?
00:42:41.220
Obviously, they even recorded themselves doing attacks with drones.
00:42:45.660
And Al-Qaeda, they have a camp solely focused on drones and using them to deliver bombs and
00:42:52.880
So, yeah, that's going to be the future, unfortunately.
00:42:55.320
It doesn't have to just be nation states, right?
00:42:59.160
If you were in charge today, what would you be, what advice would you be giving the American
00:43:08.460
Well, the way I look at it is, obviously, we don't exactly know where the attack's going
00:43:14.720
to happen, but we know what different things the terrorists trained on.
00:43:22.280
They trained on attacking, like, shopping centers.
00:43:30.140
If you harden those type of locations, then if the terrorist was going to hit you, now they
00:43:40.360
You made it harder for them, and hopefully easier for law enforcement to pick up something
00:43:45.320
in the casing or something in advance to help sort this, right?
00:43:50.740
And then another thing is really just be a force multiplier.
00:43:57.180
Be able to help someone in an emergency, because it's going to take time for first responders
00:44:01.160
to arrive, and the terrorists are likely going to attack first responders like they did
00:44:08.940
You just recently tweeted, there have been multiple incidences of suspected terrorist
00:44:15.980
If this happens at your parish, don't brush it off.
00:44:20.280
Well, a lot of churches have started to make these security and safety teams.
00:44:27.860
The best part is, if you have any sort of visitors, they have to do some sort of registering
00:44:35.940
Anything you can do external is the best way to do it.
00:44:40.580
If people show up with weird questions, and I'll just tell you, there are some similar
00:44:44.120
situations, a lot of the situations, it's two to four men teams that come in, they are
00:44:52.460
Some of the cover stories are like, oh, my religious elder told me I need to go explore
00:44:56.600
And then they say they're Muslim, or they say they're Hindu.
00:45:00.000
And then they start asking questions about the security team, which would be very strange
00:45:05.100
And then the main question that's been most concerning that we've seen in a lot of different
00:45:13.200
So we do think like some of those items, if they're talking about those, get their photos,
00:45:21.920
And the more people who can do pieces of this, hopefully law enforcement can put it all
00:45:26.700
And see where things are connected and get ahead of it.
00:45:30.540
Remember, there's crime rings targeting these churches, so you can protect yourself in multiple
00:45:35.180
So you're thinking that the live streaming is a problem because they want it to be viewed
00:45:43.320
It's just a very strange question, as you can imagine, if they're not intending to join
00:45:50.780
Thank you so much for everything that you're doing, Sarah, and have done in the past.
00:46:00.260
We'd love to get any warnings that we can help people prepare for.
00:46:13.360
There's another great city that starts with a T.
00:46:18.840
Fly to Tampa on Porter Airlines to see why it's so T-rific.
00:46:22.840
On your way there, relax with free beer, wine, and snacks, free, fast streaming Wi-Fi, and
00:46:30.320
You've never flown to Florida like this before, so you'll land in Tampa ready to explore.
