The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Tracey Holmes ｜ 3⧸13⧸26

00:00:00.000 Hey, some really important things today that you just don't want to miss.

00:00:05.160 You might want to listen to the whole show because there's a couple of turning points.

00:00:09.340 Today was a turning point. We talked about, you know, the terror attacks that happened yesterday

00:00:13.680 and what they mean. I started with, you know, Islamism is cancer. That's what it is. And we 0.99

00:00:21.900 have to start treating it like that. And you're going to start seeing people as pushback comes

00:00:27.440 back because of this war, you're going to start seeing people say, we were better off before we

00:00:31.600 were fighting it. Where we listen to that monologue, Islamism is cancer. Also, we had the woman who is 1.00

00:00:40.180 the lady in Australia who has been doing the main coverage on the escape of those Iranian soccer

00:00:46.600 players, the girls. What were they facing? What was really happening when they didn't salute the

00:00:53.640 flag and they didn't sing the national anthem what happened and how did they get out she tells

00:00:58.900 a riveting story on that and so much more you don't want to miss on today's podcast war affects

00:01:05.380 supply chains and right now one of the most important shipping routes in the world the

00:01:09.620 Strait of Hormuz along Iran's southern border is under massive strain about 20 percent of the

00:01:15.880 world's oil passes through it and when conflicts in that region happen it is effectively closed

00:01:22.380 right now consequences will ripple out fast air freight costs have already soared by as much as

00:01:27.800 400 some shipping routes now require detours that add close to a million dollars to a single voyage

00:01:34.080 and those costs are passed right along to you experts are warning that this could escalate

00:01:38.680 before it even starts to settle down what happens the next time you need a prescription and the

00:02:59.340 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:03.280 I want to give you a couple of pieces of audio here from the FBI yesterday during a press conference after the shooting at Old Dominion University.

00:03:14.400 The FBI gave an update.

00:03:16.940 And here is cut one from the FBI on the terrorist shooter at Old Dominion, Virginia.

00:03:23.700 I can tell you that we have confirmed reports that prior to him conducting this act of terrorism, he shouted or stated Allah Akbar, and he was formerly a subject of a FBI investigation in material supporting terrorism.

00:03:43.360 i'd like to know when that actually happened was that under the biden administration or the trump

00:03:50.480 administration because i know that one administration likes to excuse people who are

00:03:55.320 like oh well you know they're not really terrorists i'd like to know exactly what

00:03:59.240 happened to that investigation from the fbi when it happened will tell us an awful lot

00:04:03.280 and here is the fbi again on the students the rotc that uh stopped the shooter listen

00:04:11.440 uh the there were students were in that room that subdued him and uh rendered him no longer

00:04:20.540 alive i don't know else to say it but they basically were able to terminate the threat

00:04:26.680 so he was not shot he was not shot he shot three people uh correct we have information that he shot

00:04:34.440 three people um and he's no longer alive amen um now in uh michigan we had another terrorist attack

00:04:46.640 this time on a synagogue and i'm going to later talk to you about what happened there and how the

00:04:52.120 media new york times msnbc or whatever the hell they're calling it now um what they are now saying

00:04:58.640 who's responsible and i'll give you i'll give you two guesses jews and republicans if that's what

00:05:04.420 you guessed, you're absolutely right. We'll get into that here in a minute. But I want to spend

00:05:09.700 some minutes being very, very clear on something, because you are now going to start hearing blame

00:05:17.200 on this, all these terror attacks, because more are coming. And all these terror attacks,

00:05:23.140 they didn't have to happen, yada, yada, yada. So let me be very clear.

00:05:27.080 please hear me america please hear me on this the war in iran did not begin yesterday

00:05:36.980 yesterday was a pivot point and i'll explain in a minute but it didn't begin you know with

00:05:44.040 donald trump declaring war didn't with the latest missile strike or the intelligence briefings or

00:05:49.280 the latest headline scrolling across your phone that's not when it started this war began in 1979

00:05:56.080 When the Shah fell and the Marxist students gathered with the Islamists, they worked together to destabilize Iran and overthrow the country of Iran. 0.82

00:06:09.560 When the diplomats were blindfolded from America and marched through the gates of the embassy and they held them there for 444 days, that's when this started.

00:06:21.200 From that moment forward, Iran declared something really simple, and they've been shouting it and chanting it in their streets since 1979. 0.62

00:06:31.960 Death to America.

00:06:33.960 They chanted it.

00:06:35.100 And every president, from Reagan to Bush to Clinton, all of them, even those who were just candidates, including Hillary Clinton and Al Gore, have all said the same thing.

00:06:52.520 Iran is the central engine of terror in the modern world. 1.00

00:06:57.080 They are a death cult. 0.99

00:06:58.380 and all of them have said on both sides of the aisle if it's not stopped the day will come when

00:07:04.380 we're going to face a nuclear armed iran diagnose the diagnosis has been delivered by doctor after

00:07:10.740 doctor that the american people have hired and it's the same thing and i think those doctors

00:07:17.080 those presidents have all in their own way been a little bit cowardice and maybe they they made

00:07:23.620 the decision i'm not going to say that they were cowards they they didn't have the guts to pull

00:07:28.200 the trigger because they thought there were other options on the table and the american people said

00:07:33.160 well maybe it's not that serious okay i'm going to be the doctor that you don't want to hear from

00:07:39.000 today i'm sorry islamism this revolutionary apocalyptic ideology that is behind the iranian 1.00

00:07:48.620 regime is cancer islamism is cancer and just like cancer at first you may not notice it you you can 1.00

00:07:57.720 dismiss the early symptoms. You can tell yourself that you're just tired or maybe that lump was 0.71

00:08:03.720 there before. Whatever it is, you tend to go into denial. Maybe you even begin to blame your own

00:08:11.540 habits. Maybe I caused this. I've smoked my whole life. I didn't eat right. I'm just probably

00:08:16.720 overreacting. All of these things, that's normal to happen. But cancer does not care about your

00:08:23.920 denial in fact it's its favorite environment to grow in while you're denying it it continues to

00:08:31.060 grow and it grows while you argue whether or not it even exists and it spreads as you debate with

00:08:38.340 yourself whose fault is it it feeds while you reassure yourself that everything is still

00:08:44.920 basically normal all the while it's doing one thing it is eating the healthy parts of your body

00:08:52.460 It is taking it cell by cell, slowly, quietly, patiently.

00:08:57.620 It is just eating.

00:08:59.940 And one day you go to the doctor and the doctor looks at the scan and says something that you never, ever want to hear.

00:09:08.000 It's no longer isolated.

00:09:10.260 It's everywhere.

00:09:12.100 At that point, you have a choice to make.

00:09:15.040 And that's the pivot point.

00:09:16.820 That's where we are right now.

00:09:19.200 It is everywhere.

00:09:20.740 And so now your options change, okay?

00:09:25.160 The treatment has to change.

00:09:26.600 It's no longer a simple surgery that you could have had a few years ago.

00:09:29.840 It's something much, much harsher.

00:09:31.740 It becomes radical because the cancer has become radical.

00:09:35.240 So now you need chemotherapy and radiation and radical invasive surgery.

00:09:40.720 None of these are good.

00:09:42.520 None of these are going to make you feel good.

00:09:44.620 But it's designed to purge the body of something that is eating you from the inside out.

00:09:50.740 And each of the treatments are brutal, but let me just concentrate on one. Let me just talk to you

00:09:55.240 about chemo. Let me liken chemo to what we're facing right now, this war and the effects of it.

00:10:03.660 Okay. So war is the chemo that we're putting it, putting through the hair falling out is the terror

00:10:10.000 attacks that you're seeing. Now you have a choice. Are we going to treat this or not? Are we just

00:10:14.860 going to deny that it was really a problem but really the choice is this do you want to live

00:10:21.460 or not because when the cancer becomes this bad that is the choice do you want to live or do you

00:10:29.480 want to just live your remaining days feeling good but they're going to be short days

00:10:35.000 chemo will weaken you and it is it will weaken us it will make you sick we'll have protests in the

00:10:43.260 streets we'll be arguing with each other we will deplete our armed forces it's going to make us

00:10:48.180 weaker it will lose we will lose hair all kinds of effects that we really don't want we'll be

00:10:54.420 vomiting all the time those things are the terror attacks that are happening and you will feel worse

00:11:00.200 during the treatment and then some people will say which in a very narrow sense is absolutely true

00:11:06.820 you know what we were better off before the chemo started that's absolutely true you were kind of

00:11:12.840 kind of you were dying but you were feeling better but if you wouldn't have done anything

00:11:19.960 you were dead in a very short period of time you'd be dead now it it doesn't matter um and

00:11:29.740 it may even piss the patient off when the doctor like i come in come in and tell the truth but

00:11:34.460 here's the truth none of this had to happen we didn't have to do this i've been i've been on the

00:11:39.200 air for 50 years so i've been on the air in fact uh it was i was on the air a couple of years before

00:11:46.700 we went into before they took our hostages in iran i've been talking about iran forever

00:11:51.920 and if we would have done the things at the time we should have none of this would have happened

00:11:57.800 but now we have no good options left there's nothing it's death or this and that's where we

00:12:03.360 are and this confrontation is not a sudden war okay it's 47 years of ignored warnings

00:12:11.120 finally reaching the stage where the disease can no longer be contained with polite diplomacy and

00:12:17.200 hopeful secrets and so the side effects are ugly there will be retaliation there will be terror

00:12:23.140 there will be more terror attempts and more terror there will be economic shocks okay

00:12:29.660 but we weren't better than we were before we started the treatment we were just in denial

00:12:36.240 and the effects of it being in every organ of our body was just starting to show signs of a problem

00:12:42.160 but if you waited and continued to do nothing it would kill us for sure now what would have

00:12:49.800 happened if ronald reagan one of my heroes would have gone in and said beirut nothing and punish

00:12:57.200 them at that point. He didn't. He said, we can negotiate. We can do all kinds of things. The

00:13:02.900 tumor was small. We'll try other things. We chose to delay. We chose negotiations for the last 47

00:13:10.260 years without consequence. We chose sanctions without enforcement. We chose to hope that

00:13:15.540 cancer just might stop growing. It would choose to stop growing. Cancer never makes that decision

00:13:24.040 because cancer to live must feed on something and so it's spread through hezbollah and hamas

00:13:32.400 and the houthis through militias in iraq and syria now in our universities now in our media

00:13:37.880 it's infected every organization our government it's in our neighborhoods it's in many of american

00:13:44.300 mosques it's here gang and it is the most radical form of cancer and the body of western civilization 0.95

00:13:52.620 has a long history of fighting this kind of cancer. And so we have a long history of knowing

00:13:58.620 what happens if it goes untreated. So yes, what comes next is going to make you vomit. It's going

00:14:04.320 to make your hair fall out. It's going to make you feel like crap. It's going to be painful. 1.00

00:14:09.900 And here's the thing you really don't want to hear. And because we waited so long, we may die

00:14:14.480 anyway but if the body has a chance of survival it must be cut out completely and every cell

00:14:24.300 well you know when the surgeons go in for surgery like this when they're when they think they're

00:14:28.840 finished they leave the body open and they say send everything out and let's look at the margins

00:14:33.860 and then they get it back did they cut everything because if there's one cell of the cancer left

00:14:40.100 behind it grows back and it grows stronger more aggressive and more determined and you're in the

00:14:45.340 same situation this is where we're at now america this is it this is what history is demanding of

00:14:55.600 western civilization right now not denial not delay not pretending the diagnosis is wrong or

00:15:01.720 never came not pretending that cancer maybe isn't so bad doctors have warned us for 40 years the

00:15:09.500 patient is finally open on the operating table and like it or not the time for debate is over

00:15:16.460 here's my change i have told you this is you know i'm not gonna i'm not trying to sway you and i'm

00:15:23.220 still not trying to sway you but i have i have not been clear where i stood today after the terror

00:15:28.840 attacks yesterday i'm very clear i'm very clear the body is open the surgery has begun whether

00:15:36.480 you were for the surgery or against the surgery the body is on the table and the surgeons have

00:15:43.000 their hands and their scalpels in and they are cutting the cancer out this isn't exploratory

00:15:48.580 surgery you know back when i was growing up before we had cat scans and everything else

00:15:52.780 you had to exploratory surgery where they just cut somebody open we think he might have cancer

00:15:57.460 cut them open the worst thing that would happen is the surgery would be very short and the doctor

00:16:02.660 would come out and say we just sewed him back up it's too far gone okay we we're already in the

00:16:10.400 surgery we know exactly how bad this answer is we're not exploring to see how bad we know how

00:16:16.740 bad it is and this might sound like a justification for war but it is not it is a justification for

00:16:24.960 getting all of the margins you already have the body open so it doesn't matter do you think it

00:16:31.760 gets better or worse if we now sew the body back up do you think they learn the lesson of oh we 0.74

00:16:38.040 better not screw with america or do they learn the lesson you just hit them and they're such 0.99

00:16:42.460 cowards they're so weak they will never come for us it doesn't go away it only reinforces what 1.00

00:16:51.460 reagan sent in beirut it only gets worse and we're all in denial if we think we didn't know 0.97

00:17:00.220 exactly what we're dealing with my question to you today is

00:17:05.140 are we really at the point in our country where we have family members our brothers and sisters

00:17:13.800 saying stop the surgery sew him back up and let him die

00:17:18.760 are we really in that place or can we find ourselves growing back into a nation that is

00:17:29.400 strong enough to say this patient is worth saving it's worth the radical steps that we have to take

00:17:38.180 and the pain we will endure because life this life is worth saving that's your choice america

00:17:45.580 you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program

00:17:48.520 we welcome tracy holmes now sports journalist host of the sports ambassador in australia thank

00:17:57.140 you for staying up so late for us i know it's very late in australia not at all pleasure to

00:18:02.740 be on your program thanks for having me you bet so tracy we've been watching we've been watching

00:18:08.660 from afar this amazing story can you tell us from the beginning let's i mean let's start with

00:18:14.760 the national anthem when the girls soccer team was out we had just started bombing uh iran and

00:18:21.700 the soccer team is standing on the field the national anthem is played and they don't sing

00:18:26.900 start there how shocking was that and how much trouble were they in and did they well they're

00:18:34.180 in a lot of trouble yeah so if i rewind even further back in the qatar fifa world cup in 2022

00:18:41.100 the men's team did the same thing they had turned up to play uh on the back of a massive protests

00:18:47.820 in their country and when the anthem played they did not sing uh they were then instructed they

00:18:53.660 must sing by game two, otherwise they would face consequences when they got back home.

00:18:58.800 So when the women did the same thing, it was an act of bravery. It was a real statement. But I

00:19:07.220 think we also need to pull back and look at the wider context. As you say, 48 hours earlier,

00:19:13.020 the bombing campaign had started in their country. So their country was essentially at war.

00:19:18.500 And there were pockets of celebrations in the streets, even here in Australia, where quite a large Iranian expat community lives.

00:19:29.100 And so there was all of this feeding into them and feeding into where they stood on this.

00:19:34.720 So game number one, national anthem plays, they don't sing, and there were repercussions.

00:19:40.280 We know that because by game two, not only had we seen the security apparatus tighten around the team at their team hotel, but by game two, they not only sang the anthem, they also saluted the flag.

00:19:54.340 Wow. So any idea? We've heard rumors their families, some of them may have been taken or taken in for questioning or at least the message was sent. You will behave. We have your families. Correct?

00:20:10.020 Yeah, pretty much. They also had to sign statements before they left, which was tying them from what we believe to some sort of financial commitment that these girls would all return home. 0.82

00:20:22.720 Otherwise, there would be a penalty for the family to pay, financial or otherwise.

00:20:28.160 And also, after the incident, we also heard from one of the state spokespeople on state television, basically saying that these women were not just traitors, they were wartime traitors, the worst of the worst, and they should be punished sufficiently, given that tag.

00:20:49.740 well i mean we know what i mean in america the the only crime that comes with a

00:20:56.840 a constitutional punishment is traitor um it's very hard to prove in america but it is it's

00:21:05.080 constitutionally required death i gotta believe that's the kind of punishment they were talking

00:21:11.060 about in iran yeah well you would hate to think that that's uh what they were going to face but

00:21:17.480 we're in a situation now where six of the women stayed in Australia. They have sought asylum and

00:21:23.500 been given visas. The Australian government offered emergency visas to any female in that team 0.65

00:21:29.400 that wanted one. There was one other who originally accepted one and then changed her mind.

00:21:35.720 Now, those that didn't accept them have flown to Malaysia. They were supposed to get on a flight to

00:21:41.100 go onwards to Turkey and then bus across the border into Iran, but they've been prevented

00:21:45.980 from doing that. They can't find plane access to be able to get back into the vicinity of Iran,

00:21:53.400 so they're still in Malaysia. And there are rumours that there are some people in Malaysia

00:21:57.780 now, perhaps another three, who are also seeking asylum. So what has happened if they do

00:22:07.420 get home? Do you have any idea why they would have chosen to go home? Was it family or were they

00:22:14.140 believers in the regime. Do you know? Well, we don't know the breakdown of that,

00:22:19.820 but I imagine there may have been some that were regime supporters. We have seen

00:22:24.560 one woman in particular, one of the players who has put up a very pro-regime message on her

00:22:31.320 Instagram account, but you don't know whether that is done through coercion. But if you have

00:22:38.640 to think about that choice to make as a young female, do I stay in a foreign land where I

00:22:43.960 don't speak the language and know nobody but I will have a freedom that I do not have at home

00:22:49.220 or do I go back to my family who was under threat because of my position we've also seen a change

00:22:54.900 in state television broadcasting who have said that any girl that comes home will be celebrated

00:23:02.360 as a national hero so they're being put in this terrible psychological position where they've got

00:23:07.760 to be you know back flipping on what they want and what they think and what they're being

00:23:11.960 threatened with and how they have to pretend if they don't believe so i saw one of your reports

00:23:18.980 and i can't believe this is true i mean donald trump had to get involved and say and i and i

00:23:24.540 hope it wasn't too much pressure um that it took but he said look guys if you don't take them we

00:23:30.000 will but i've heard reports from you that your secretary of foreign affairs have some kind of

00:23:36.920 deal that if somebody wants to defect that he his office has to be alerted and then he alerts

00:23:43.360 the country of origin is that true no that's not true no so so what happens is thank god

00:23:50.720 i thought boy australia is lost if that's happening

00:23:56.380 no the home affairs minister um has has just stated that you know the government

00:24:02.320 they can't coerce people into seeking asylum so it has to come from the person themselves

00:24:07.560 and you know once that approach has been made they do everything in their power to facilitate

00:24:15.240 that which is what happened the Home Affairs Minister actually flew to the Gold Coast where

00:24:20.420 the team was staying to be able to meet with those who were seeking asylum and then they did

00:24:24.640 organise within the next 48 hours or so individual meetings with each of the girls to determine which

00:24:30.940 way they thought to try and give them some space away from the very tight security around them who

00:24:37.180 were trying to prevent them from, you know, making such decisions. So President Trump didn't have to

00:24:43.900 get involved? Well, it was good that he did, I think, because that highlighted the situation to

00:24:49.760 a whole lot of other people and around the world. It got further headlines because of that. But the

00:24:54.940 time he rang where he said um you know basically if you don't do it we will uh the prime minister

00:25:01.500 said to him thanks very much we've already got this under control our our home affairs minister

00:25:06.360 is in a room with them right now and that's when uh donald trump then put out another truth saying

00:25:11.840 he's got this the australian prime minister's all over it um i saw a video of protesters actually

00:25:19.580 laying down in front of the bus at one point. And I thought, well, there's a group of protesters I

00:25:25.200 actually applaud for the first time in a long time. These protesters that were saying, don't

00:25:30.740 ship them back. Don't allow that bus to move. Have you seen any, what is the reaction in Australia?

00:25:38.620 Is it pro saving them or are you getting pushback? And, you know, we're unfortunately having terror

00:25:45.100 attacks because of the war here in america um are you seeing any signs of trouble for you guys for

00:25:51.940 saving them um no but as you know we've we've had trouble recently you know building up in the last

00:25:59.280 few months we've had some attacks on um you know synagogues we've had uh the the bondi beach

00:26:05.780 shooting you know there there is this but we've also had you know months and months of of protests

00:26:11.220 as well. But, you know, one thing I should mention is the public support for the women's football

00:26:16.700 team of Iran has been overwhelmingly positive and very receptive to the government offering them

00:26:24.020 these asylum visas, these emergency visas. But at the same time that this was happening,

00:26:30.040 the government took a position where temporary visa holders in the Middle East region,

00:26:35.340 and I think there's about 12,000 maybe more they have now been restricted so even if they have a

00:26:42.260 visa to come here because they are now at war they will be restricted and it's up to the Home

00:26:48.420 Affairs Minister as to whether he will allow those visas visa holders to actually come into the

00:26:54.620 country so it's like he was giving visas to the women on one hand but those that already had visas

00:27:00.320 but are not in the country yet are being restricted from coming here.

00:27:04.460 And that's understandable given that war changes everything.

00:27:10.180 So FIFA begins in, what, less than 100 days, I think.

00:27:15.600 What are the ramifications on FIFA?

00:27:18.380 Because it's co-hosted here in America.

00:27:21.740 It is, and there's been a lot of focus on America

00:27:25.040 because we know that, again, immigration has been in the news for a long time.

00:27:30.320 you know, deportations as well.

00:27:32.700 So people were wondering if each of the teams that have qualified

00:27:36.180 would be able to get in there.

00:27:37.680 The President has said that any qualified team,

00:27:41.440 as long as, you know, the officials and the players pass

00:27:44.940 through rigorous security checks, will be allowed to come in.

00:27:49.360 The Iran team, on the back of the war,

00:27:52.720 the regime has said it's unlikely we will come.

00:27:57.480 Then, you know, there were statements coming out of the US saying they were still welcome

00:28:03.740 to come because they have qualified, and these are notes from FIFA as well.

00:28:08.560 Then the regime has come out in about the last 24 hours or so and said, how can we come? 0.89

00:28:14.140 That's ridiculous. 0.78

00:28:14.940 We're not coming. 0.87

00:28:17.040 Now, in the last hour, I've seen a statement from the team itself saying, hang on, we're

00:28:21.800 the players.

00:28:22.620 We qualified.

00:28:23.700 This only happens once every four years.

00:28:25.760 we deserve the right to be there so there's there's a lot of different you know the narratives

00:28:31.640 are all over the place uh tracy i would love to stay in touch with you i i found your reporting

00:30:51.540 because what we are witnessing now is the final phases of the islamization of the western world 0.91

00:30:59.980 it is happening whether you like it or not and we have to fight it and the the key to fighting it

00:31:06.860 is to understand it and nobody is willing to really tell you what's going on thank god for

00:31:12.320 social media because you can see videos and we've been showing some of these videos in fact let me

00:31:18.420 show one of them here real quick and then i'm going to get to robin's point um but how do you

00:31:24.020 expect not to have uh all kinds of terror attacks in a country where you have um muslims here in the 1.00

00:31:35.480 u.s here's one of them here in the u.s talking about why islam is here in the u.s cut six

00:31:43.720 why am i migrating here why am i in america the prophet sallallahu sallallahu sallam's companions

00:31:49.680 left mecca to go to a land that had no muslims we are in this country purely for the sake of 1.00

00:31:58.860 allah the moment you make this intention you will look at things different people will meet you

00:32:04.940 different. How could it be that

00:32:06.940 your co-workers know you as a Muslim for 10

00:32:08.940 years, not once you presented Islam

00:32:10.900 to them? You don't know why your purpose is here.

00:32:13.080 Are you guys together? We are in this country

00:32:15.060 for Allah. As we're here

00:32:16.860 living in the US, what is our role

00:32:19.040 now? What is the way forward?

00:32:22.340 Let me just

00:32:23.020 quote for you an ayah of the Quran

00:32:24.740 and I'm going to try to encapsulate it.

00:32:27.100 Allah is saying, do not obey 1.00

00:32:29.080 the disbelievers. Don't yield to 1.00

00:32:30.960 them. And then he gives us the process

00:32:33.140 of what to do next.

00:32:34.200 And so make jihad against them.

00:32:39.980 What is your duty as a member of the Ummah now that you are also an American?

00:32:46.620 It is our physical jihad duty to fight the entire earth until we enter it into the Ummah. 0.99

00:32:55.300 Until the whole world is under Islam. 1.00

00:32:58.780 That is the plan. Like it or not, that is the plan.

00:33:02.680 and we are in this war, whether you like it or not, if you choose to be awake and see it,

00:33:09.180 we have a chance of survival. If you choose to continue down this road of denial, of acquiescence,

00:33:17.500 we're dead. We're all dead. The Western world is dead. Look at Europe. It's over, gang. It is

00:33:22.140 over. They don't have the... Germany just tried to raise their army. They couldn't because anyone

00:33:29.320 who was going to join was a young foreign national they don't have enough young german 0.67

00:33:35.700 men to join the army and they're not going to hand them guns and weapons and all of this

00:33:42.380 information over to people who are not even citizens it's over it's over the question is

00:33:49.760 are you over you have to watch this special join uh torch now glennbeck.com slash torch that

00:33:56.680 special is next thursday believe me we've worked four months on this you don't want to miss this

00:34:02.300 it's truly amazing okay so i can talk a big game and i think this is what robin was saying in a

00:34:09.220 nice way she was saying you know glenn okay so her exact quote was when is baron and glenn's son

00:34:15.720 going to join the military well i can't speak for president trump and i can't speak for baron i can

00:34:20.880 speak for my son. My son and I had that conversation this week, this week. If you don't

00:34:29.140 know what you want to do, if you really, if you might want to consent, now is the time to join

00:34:36.380 the military. Why would you say that to your son? We're at war. Because I believe we have a president

00:34:43.480 who's not going to put our soldiers through an endless meat grinder without any thought. 0.99

00:34:48.580 he is not going to send a single soldier out without the ability to shoot back and kill them

00:34:54.620 okay if you're going to go into war you're you want to go in with a warrior you want to go in

00:35:00.800 with somebody who is saying i i value your life over the enemy's life and i'm going to take care

00:35:07.440 of you and do everything i can to equip you to survive while you're in that environment

00:35:13.160 he could be out in two years yes he might be he might be and if we switch directions in two years

00:35:22.600 we are so screwed we're so screwed but here's here's what people don't understand from the left

00:35:29.020 and i give robin the benefit of the doubt i'm not saying she's on the left by any stretch of the 0.97

00:35:33.740 imagination and please don't hammer her insiders don't hammer her um she's probably speaking from

00:35:39.300 the place of a mother and maybe a mom who has already faced this before and it didn't work out

00:35:45.080 well. So she's coming from a place, for instance, I was just telling Ricky this story off the air

00:35:55.360 and I said, Rafe and I had this conversation. And he said, what did Tanya say? And I said,

00:36:01.140 we're not having that conversation with Tanya. You don't bring your mom in on that kind of

00:36:05.820 conversation at that early stage. You don't because you know how moms are going to react. 1.00

00:36:10.500 What are you talking about? No, no, no, no, no. But people who are cut from our cloth actually

00:36:17.260 believe in something. We don't necessarily, we can look at the military as one of the benefits

00:36:24.220 of great education, great discipline. You'll have a different outlook on life and probably a better

00:36:32.800 outlook on life if you've gone through the military. But we also know that means you've

00:36:38.140 got to serve your country, and that may mean that you're fighting a war in today's world.

00:36:43.020 That's what that may mean. This is why people in red states join the military and blue states

00:36:50.200 don't. Because when you join, if you're in a leftist mentality, generally you think military

00:36:57.160 is stupid. The people who join it are losers. And the only reason to get into it, not for your 1.00

00:37:04.000 child, but maybe for a minority child, they can join the military to get free education. That's

00:37:09.480 not what that is. It's not what that is. And I believe that conservatives, whether they live in

00:37:14.280 red states or blue states, they understand that. And so they know the cost going in, but you don't

00:37:20.360 have that conversation with your mom at first. You have the dads and their sons have that

00:37:25.660 conversations. And then they sit at the table with mom at the table. And that's when your son

00:37:33.120 will say something like, dad and I have been talking about the military. And then your wife

00:37:37.100 looks at you and you look at your son like, you're dead to me. Why would you say you and I have been

00:37:41.400 talking about this? It's because they're stupid. They're young. They haven't been married yet. 1.00

00:37:46.260 They don't know. You don't say things like that to your mom. You just bring it up, son. You just

00:37:50.620 bring it up. You know, I've been thinking about what do you guys think? Anyway, because now you've

00:37:55.580 started another war in the house. Rafe and I had this conversation this week that it is a viable

00:38:03.980 option. And now is the time, if you ever thought about it, now is the time to get in. So I don't,

00:38:11.720 I would never, I mean, if you've listened to me for long at all, you know, I cry over Kleenex

00:38:18.860 commercials. I cry on everything. You don't think I feel empathy when we're sending people into

00:38:24.540 battle? You don't think that I don't think of the sons and the daughters and the moms and the dads

00:38:30.440 that have lost their kids or could lose their kids? I said to you just when Trump started this

00:38:37.400 and decided, green light, go in, take care of this, I said to you, I couldn't do that. I could

00:38:44.200 not be the president of the United States. That was my first thought. I could not be the president

00:38:49.000 in the United States, because I don't think I would have the courage, knowing what you know

00:38:54.940 about war, I wouldn't have the courage to say, these millions of lives are all going to change

00:39:02.360 because of my decision. I just don't think I could do it. It would take massive amounts of

00:39:07.480 prayer and God going, would you finally listen to me, before I would have the courage to do it.

00:39:12.680 so anybody who is making a case for war and would not send their kids in themselves don't listen to

00:39:22.920 them ever don't ever listen to them any anybody anybody who hasn't um who doesn't have real

00:39:31.720 respect for the military and looks at the military especially those war-hardened leaders the ones who

00:39:38.080 are generals now but have been through war and war over and over and over again if they look at

00:39:42.560 them like they're just warmongers don't listen to them those guys have been they've been there

00:39:47.520 they know what that meat grinder is they're the they're the least likely to want to go into war

00:39:53.240 they don't want it because they know what it means 0.98

00:39:56.640 but what this means is uh fight it or die from the cancer that is islamism that's it 0.98

00:40:07.200 we have islamists here they're in all of our institutions they're in our government 0.99

00:40:12.560 they have put us to sleep they have told us and fed us lies that there are nothing to worry about

00:40:18.000 nothing to see here and um and it's time for us to grow up it's time for us to grow up not because

00:40:27.400 i want this war not because i endorse this war but because i am at the point and i would hope

00:40:33.720 that a lot of people are coming to this point where you don't now have a choice whether you

00:40:38.620 wanted to be there or not you got to do it you may have been against this but let me ask you

00:40:46.680 what happens if we stop right now what happened do you think the terror attacks in the country

00:40:52.840 get worse or better do you think we have taught the people who want to attack us here in america

00:41:00.000 that they shouldn't do that, or if we would fold up our tent and go home and say, okay, we're sorry,

00:41:06.880 do you think that would make them more emboldened or less emboldened? I mean, just critical thinking

00:41:12.520 here on this. It's happening. So now, what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do

00:41:18.480 about it? Especially, you know, because we don't know anything. You know, today is Al-Quds Day, 0.94

00:41:24.320 And this was a holiday started by the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979.

00:41:29.640 And Al-Quds Day in Iran is a celebration of Al-Quds, okay? 0.97

00:41:36.840 The liberation of Al-Quds.

00:41:40.260 Quds is Jerusalem. 0.98

00:41:42.380 So this is the celebration of the liberating army that will march in and liberate Jerusalem.

00:41:50.160 that's the IRGC is is they also have the Iranian Al-Quds force that's the Jerusalem army that will

00:42:00.300 march in kill all the Jews that's that's that's what you're dealing with here it's not like oh 1.00

00:42:07.460 we just wanted to coexist no no no no no kill all the Jews then kill all the Americans little Satan 1.00

00:42:15.060 great Satan. And they've been saying that, and they're clear. And anybody who doesn't 1.00

00:42:20.900 take people who want, let me just put you in this quick situation. You're living next door

00:42:28.000 to a neighbor who moves in, and then they move in, they say, they pop their head over the fence 1.00

00:42:34.160 and say, I'm going to kill you, and I'm going to kill every member of your family. And you're like, 1.00

00:42:39.300 dude, I don't even know, what are you talking about? I don't want any trouble with you.

00:42:42.460 I'm going to kill you and every member of your family 1.00

00:42:45.160 would you just ignore that 1.00

00:42:46.900 first you'd call the police

00:42:48.860 and if the police said well call us if there's a problem

00:42:51.120 but I can't do anything about him saying

00:42:53.080 would you take

00:42:54.960 steps to protect yourself and your family

00:42:57.200 would you be prepared

00:42:59.080 if that person ever came across

00:43:00.980 that fence would you take them

00:43:02.860 seriously because if you didn't

00:43:05.140 take them seriously

00:43:06.120 you would be the one responsible for your family's

00:43:09.160 death because anyone who says 1.00

00:43:11.180 that to you with meaning every day, they're going to kill you. What do you do about it? 0.99

00:43:19.520 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:26.800 There comes a time in every man's life and every nation's life when it has to stop pretending that

00:43:34.880 danger is just going to fade away. There comes a time where you hope it never arrives,

00:43:40.340 but i believe it now has arrived where you can no longer avoid it you can no longer say well i hope

00:43:46.940 this is pushed off for another 10 or 15 or 20 years and let somebody else deal with it america

00:43:53.040 is at that point i believe right now you know nearly uh half a century ago the world was facing

00:44:01.140 you know totalitarian ideology that believed that history belonged to it um communism it promised

00:44:09.760 a paradise. It spoke the language of justice and fairness, and it hid its iron fist behind

00:44:16.580 slogans about equality and peace and all of this garbage. And a lot of people just insisted that 0.92

00:44:23.000 it was misunderstood. And maybe, to give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe some of them believed

00:44:27.400 that, well, it will work, it will work, but it never has. And early on, you can understand those

00:44:34.060 arguments you can't anymore and by the 1960s we knew exactly who they were you know even though

00:44:40.920 intelligent people said it was misunderstood they said if we were patient if we would just

00:44:46.020 show them respect if we could just be more accommodating it would moderate history answered

00:44:52.300 that illusion with prison camps and secret police and a wall that cut halfway through a city

00:44:59.340 what we're living through right now is very familiar it's very familiar another ideology

00:45:08.780 has been growing quietly in the shadows of the modern world promising utopia it speaks the

00:45:15.760 language of faith and grievance it literally promises paradise it uses the language of justice

00:45:23.740 and it has in the past hit its iron fist behind slogans about equality and peace and again just

00:45:33.260 like in the past many intelligent people insist it's just misunderstood it's just misunderstood

00:45:40.080 again if we would just be patient if we would be respectful if we would just accommodate

00:45:45.820 it will moderate and unlike communism of the past which rejected religion this one wraps itself

00:45:54.640 in religion but its goal is just like the communism of the cold war and the national

00:46:00.320 socialism of the nazis it's just political power and political power over every nation

00:46:06.280 over every single person over every single person's individual choices and that that choice is

00:46:14.420 that force is islamism that is the political islamic ideology and that insists that government

00:46:26.540 and religion are one government law and even your thought must submit to this rigid and quite

00:46:36.400 honestly very violent religion and like communism before it it promises justice while delivering

00:46:44.660 tyranny like communism before it it believes history itself is moving inevitably towards

00:46:51.020 their victory and it isn't just like communism it literally joined ranks with communism and the

00:46:57.980 marxist and and the communists and the anarchists in 1979 we can prove it to you on film in iran

00:47:05.040 and for decades we have pretended that you know this was that it was something else that it wasn't

00:47:11.300 that we called it extremism we thought you know it was just a few angry individuals we called it

00:47:18.960 terrorism as though it was only a tactic misunderstood marginal not representative

00:47:25.100 but it's not a tactic or just an idea ideas don't fly airplanes into buildings

00:47:34.580 People do

00:47:36.660 Ideas don't inspire suicide bombers, global terror networks, and regimes that openly chant for the destruction of entire nations

00:47:46.960 Ideas drive people to do that

00:47:51.140 And the idea behind Islamism is painfully clear 1.00

00:47:57.760 it teaches that all the world must eventually be governed by a single religious authority

00:48:07.620 it teaches that war against unbelievers is justified until that goal is achieved until 1.00

00:48:14.980 you submit submit and if you don't you can be raped sold into slavery or killed if you don't 0.95

00:48:24.780 submit you can be lied to you can be used and abused and it doesn't matter and their god 0.98

00:48:29.580 endorses that chaos and bloodshed are not tragedies they are a necessary step toward a divine end

00:48:40.560 listen to that in the west we look at bloodshed we look at war as a tragedy we look at it something

00:48:49.320 we don't want in political islam it is a necessary step toward a divine end and you know who has 1.00

00:49:01.880 joined it those who believe the ends justify the means those who believe in collectives not

00:49:08.740 the individual none of this is a conspiracy theory none of this you know when i first started

00:49:15.780 laying this out back in the early 2000s. Everybody said I was a conspiracy theorist. I had nothing to

00:49:20.680 back it up. And I said, what they're saying backs it up. But now you see it. The red-green alliance,

00:49:27.580 it's there. And for years, the West has responded with denial. We convinced ourselves that if we

00:49:36.360 just avoided speaking out about the ideology itself, the problem would shrink. That maybe if

00:49:42.160 we would just accommodate it would get better we thought well we'll use diplomacy and we can

00:49:48.480 negotiate with it but ideology does not negotiate with reality reality it reshapes reality until it

00:49:59.440 fits the ideology have you noticed that's what's happening reality hasn't changed reality is

00:50:09.520 reality. But your idea of reality has been so hammered and so squashed that it now is reshaped

00:50:22.120 until it fits with an ideology. That doesn't make it real. It makes it a lie. And every year that we

00:50:31.840 delay in confronting the truth. By not calling it out by its name, the movement grows stronger.

00:50:44.480 Iran's revolutionary regime has spent decades exporting this doctrine all over, arming 0.95

00:50:50.380 militias, financing terror groups, destabilizing governments from Lebanon to Yemen, Europe.

00:50:56.700 look at the shape europe's in venezuela did you know that hezbollah was off the shore on an island

00:51:02.720 of venezuela training in venezuela did you know that hezbollah is in mexico is in cuba why do you

00:51:11.600 think we're going after these people in cuba and mexico and venezuela why do you think he's putting

00:51:19.040 all of that effort into that because we must get that and the chinese and the russia out of this 1.00

00:51:25.720 we are a nation under attack that is sleeping at the switch it's here we saw it yesterday with

00:51:34.340 terror attacks it is here it's here and other radical networks have spread the same kind of

00:51:44.260 doctrine through the mosques and the media and the universities around the world this is no longer

00:51:50.780 a military challenge those days are gone this is a civilizational challenge

00:51:56.940 which means the answer cannot come from bombs alone it won't it can't this no longer is a war

00:52:06.820 i've been telling you this for years we are in world war three you just don't know it yet well 0.55

00:52:12.800 i'm sorry to say we may be able to put this whoop ass back into its can but i'm not sure we can 0.61

00:52:19.560 we open that can up and i'm not sure we can now it may be stronger here and in the rest of the 0.85

00:52:26.700 world than we thought it was and i'm glad i know it now the real battlefield honestly is the same

00:52:36.940 one that ronald reagan spoke about in the 1960s when he said it's a time for choosing

00:52:42.460 it's a time now to confront communism and on the battlefield of ideas it's freedom

00:52:50.440 versus submission individual conscience versus enforced orthodoxy

00:52:57.400 government of for and by the people versus ruled by divine decree interpreted and held hostage

00:53:07.140 by men with guns which do you want because those are the stakes

00:53:12.540 you know the one thing that donald trump has done for half of the country is and i think i think if

00:53:23.900 you look the people of cuba you see the people in iran you see the people who are now protesting in

00:53:31.780 favor of the United States at the American embassies in Canada. Did you know that the

00:53:38.460 Iranian people had a pro-America rally in front of the American embassy in Toronto?

00:53:45.700 Probably never heard that. They don't want to cover that. But have you noticed that the West,

00:53:52.180 what the one thing he is doing is, while he is destabilizing things, he is also helping us

00:53:58.800 rediscover the confidence that we once had the confidence that liberty is not merely one option

00:54:05.620 among many options of government liberty is the only system that protects human dignity

00:54:11.960 it allows our faith without coercion it allows debate without imprisonment dissent without

00:54:22.520 death you know when the when the football players the iranian uh soccer team in australia when they

00:54:30.980 didn't sing the national anthem they were told you will face consequences because you are now a 0.94

00:54:38.720 war traitor that meant come home and we're going to execute you when we were at war all these 0.89

00:54:46.800 athletes here in america could not only not sing the national anthem they could turn their back on 0.96

00:54:51.880 the flag and take a knee on the field and they just got richer that's not oppression people

00:54:57.520 that's dissent without death in a free country and when people living under tyranny see the

00:55:08.160 difference as they are beginning to see it right now that there is somebody willing to stand up

00:55:12.660 when they see the difference history begins to move and that's what ultimately defeated communism

00:55:19.620 not military strength moral clarity the fall of the soviet union began the day

00:55:27.420 ronald reagan stood and said that is an evil empire and it must not survive that ideology

00:55:36.680 is evil and stands against everything that the western civilization teaches

00:55:42.100 And when that truth became real and undeniable and spoken, the ideology collapsed under the weight of its own contradictions.

00:55:56.200 Now, why could today possibly be any different?

00:55:59.880 Because it's almost the same ideology, just wrapped in different clothes.

00:56:04.260 well it will happen again if we have the courage to recognize the moment we were all born for

00:56:15.080 this isn't a clash with a religion this is a struggle with a political ideology that has

00:56:21.760 weaponized religion and the choice in front of us right now is the same one reagan described

00:56:27.020 decades ago whether we accept a slow surrender disguised as tolerance or we stand firmly with

00:56:34.620 the principles that built the free world because freedom has always required vigilance it requires

00:56:42.020 the willingness to stand up and defend it in the spoken word and god forbid sometimes with armies

00:56:48.380 but always with truth and every generation is eventually asked the same question

00:56:56.560 Will you preserve liberty for those who come after you?

00:57:03.360 Or are you going to let fear and confusion and denial slowly just trade it all away?

00:57:15.640 That is the time for choosing.

00:57:18.480 And I'm sorry to say I really am because I'm a lazy guy.

00:57:23.240 I'm tired.

00:57:24.420 I think you are too.

00:57:26.560 that time of choosing is here again, and it's here today.
