On today's show, Stu is very upset with this program because it took 40 minutes to get to Andrew Cuomo's "choke job" in the New York City mayoral race. And we have to point out what a pathetic loser that guy is. Now, something new is also coming in 2026, hopefully new for me, a new way to view and learn history and the news. And I'll have much more information on that as we get closer to the launch.

00:00:30.000Well, on today's podcast, Stu is very upset with this program because it took 40 minutes to get to, you know, dunking on Andrew Cuomo's choke job in the New York City mayoral race.
00:00:41.880And we have to point out what a pathetic loser that guy is, huh?
00:03:14.020You know we've been fighting every single day.
00:03:15.940We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:03:22.160We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:03:27.120But to keep this fight going, we need you.
00:03:29.300Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:03:33.340Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:05:00.940Yeah, so he was, he got here, he entered the U.S. on a marriage visa, and then he didn't adjust his immigration status, and so he's got to go.
00:05:12.640The sniper, we're going to take the sniper out?
00:05:16.060And then another guy who was reportedly arrested carrying a loaded firearm when ICE captured him in Houston, he entered the country on a student visa and was arrested the following year for assaulting his wife.
00:05:56.680Now, I want to also tell you, yesterday I was talking to Steve Bannon on the program, and he was saying the war between Israel and Iran could be part of the first kinetic moves toward World War III.
00:06:10.800But, I mean, is Iran the threat to America here, or is it something else?
00:06:19.160Tonight I'm going to explore this on my Wednesday night special.
00:06:22.340You don't want to miss it, because it's weird.
00:06:26.380This threat is spreading all across Europe, and the new relationships that are now being exposed between communists, radical leftists, and Islamists.
00:07:57.320Radicals, Islamists, communists, and socialists will work together against Israel, against capitalism, and work together to overturn stability.
00:08:05.360There are radicals, globalists, Islamists, all working together.
00:08:09.620Radicals, Islamists, communists, and socialists will work together against Israel, work against capitalism, work together to overturn stability.
00:09:01.560We've got a new candidate for mayor of New York, free buses, grocery stores run by the city, $30 minimum wage, higher taxes on the wealthy and businesses, of course.
00:12:21.500He got every endorsement, he got every piece of party apparatus outside of the hardcore pro-Hamas wing of the party to back him.
00:12:32.380He got all of the establishment, the unions, he got everybody on his side.
00:12:41.600And for some reason, the people of New York City decided, you know, maybe we shouldn't select the person who murdered our grandparents this time.
00:12:53.100Maybe, maybe we all make jokes about how our relatives drive us crazy at Thanksgiving, but maybe we shouldn't vote for the person who killed them.
00:13:04.380That was the decision apparently made.
00:13:19.700Of course, I am thinking about killing myself today, but they...
00:13:23.860Now, I will say, the people of New York might be surprised, once this socialist becomes mayor of their city, that he may also kill a lot of them.
00:13:34.380That's usually what happens when socialists take over places.
00:13:48.560This is a man who's literally proposing city-owned grocery stores, as you noted, and they may have convinced themselves that, you know what?
00:13:59.960Hey, the constant corruption, the murdering our grandparents, the grope-a-thon that's going to happen, apparently, in Manhattan is okay.
00:14:07.740We're going to take Andrew Cuomo anyway, yet they...
00:20:03.020We're in for a great awakening, honestly.
00:20:06.000Because if you haven't seen what's happening in Europe, if you haven't seen what's coming on our own streets, if you're not reading the tea leaves and seeing how this is going, hello, New York City.
00:20:56.480So, because it's important, I want to talk to you about, I want to talk to you about what's happening with Iran and everything else, but I really think that we should start with your childhood.
00:21:07.100I mean, it is, it's remarkable the life that you lived and have lived through and with no help from Canada, you know, had to endure as a childhood.
00:21:20.700Can you start, you were born in Vancouver to an Egyptian mom and a Palestinian father, and then your parents got a divorce at six, you stayed with mom, and then mom married an Egyptian who she was one of two wives, right?
00:21:50.700So, first of all, Glenn, thank you so much for having me on, and thank you so much for reading my book and for helping to bring light to this darkness.
00:22:01.900My childhood was, unfortunately, something that is quite common around all over North America, Europe, obviously the Middle East, but we don't hear the stories because people are afraid to speak.
00:22:16.440So, as you mentioned, my parents were, you know, they grew up secular Muslims, my mom in Egypt, my dad in Gaza, and they moved to San Francisco, got married, you know, had my sister, and then eventually moved to Canada where their marriage fell apart.
00:22:34.980And, like you mentioned, my mom married an Egyptian man who, at this point, was what people are calling an Islamist or a political Muslim.
00:22:48.220Because this is something I'm going to talk about tonight, and it is so important to understand the difference between a Muslim and an Islamist.
00:22:54.900Islamists are wickedly dangerous because it is political in Islam and does not necessarily have anything to do with regular Muslims, correct?
00:23:07.620So, a regular Muslim could be somebody who is open to, you know, democracy and freedom, somebody like Dr. Zutty Jasser, who I co-founded the Clarity Coalition with.
00:23:21.220But then, of course, there's Islamists, which can go, you know, anywhere from a political Islamist like Mamdami in New York all the way to jihadis like ISIS and Hamas, etc.
00:23:35.780So, those are people who are wanting to—
00:23:37.800You would put this new mayor of New York or the new mayoral candidate that won his primary last night in the category of an Islamist?
00:24:20.120Hamas are more like they're jihadis because they're using violence.
00:24:23.640But an Islamist won't necessarily use violence, but they will use duplicitous, insidious means, like exactly like what Mamdani is doing, which is using secular laws against itself.
00:24:37.500Which is, you know, these thinly veiled calls to globalized intifada.
00:24:47.360That is a thinly veiled incitement to violence.
00:24:50.440You know, I've spoken to people who have survived intifadas in Israel.
00:24:53.520And what we're talking about here are people riding on a bus and the bus is blowing up.
00:24:58.420People sitting, having a pizza, and then the pizza parlor gets blown up.
00:25:03.480This is what they're saying they want to globalize.
00:25:06.040So, I don't even know how thinly veiled that is.
00:25:08.720But when somebody is your mayoral candidate and is calling to globalize the intifada, and then for that person to win is really disheartening.
00:25:17.860It really makes me feel so sad and angry and terrified about the future of our world.
00:25:23.840Okay, so let's get back to your childhood.
00:25:26.700So, you are, you know, with this new father riding a bike, listening to music, celebrating birthdays, swimming lessons, playing with non-Muslim friends, not happening.
00:26:10.400And at one point, there was just a brief moment of time where I was able to go to a public school because the Islamic school did not yet have a high school in place.
00:26:22.640And in that year, I was able to connect with one of my teachers, Mr. Favreau, who wrote the foreword for my book.
00:26:31.640Before you get there, tell people when you failed at home, tell people what happened to you with your feet and your ankles and everything else.
00:26:41.940So, they have an understanding of what you were going through when you met this teacher.
00:27:21.120She's preferring their way of writing her name instead of our way of writing it.
00:27:27.340So, we need to teach her a very strong lesson so that she learns and understands that they are evil and we are good.
00:27:37.060And so, their way of doing that was to hang me upside down in the garage.
00:27:45.700And, you know, Muslims have the celebration of Baid where they slaughter an animal every year and they hang it up in the garage.
00:27:57.040And that was the hook that they used to hang me up on and whipped me.
00:28:03.080And they whip places where it will be hidden.
00:28:07.940When I was younger, it was the bottom of my feet.
00:28:11.140But later, when I started wearing hijab and my body was covered anyway, then they could whip more, you know, more comfortably wherever they wanted.
00:28:20.980And her husband hung me upside down and whipped me to the point of me passing out because I was crying so much and I couldn't breathe.
00:28:30.640Because my whole, you know, my face, my nose, my throat, my eyes, everything was filled with me okay.
00:28:38.200And I woke up from my being, from passing out and I could hear them talking.
00:29:22.180I can't forget a lot of the things that she said and done.
00:29:28.180It's really important for me to highlight here that she wasn't like this.
00:29:34.340She was, nobody in her family was like this.
00:29:38.600Nobody in Cairo where she grew up was like this.
00:29:41.240But once she became indoctrinated into this ideology and once she married this Islamist man, she turned into this monster who, her, she was so, such a zealot.
00:29:55.880And her ideology and her, you know, anti-West, pro-Islam, you know, it just possessed her mind.
00:30:08.640And even her own kids were nowhere near.
00:30:13.900Like, we didn't even register in her, you know, in the things that she cared about.
00:30:18.320All she wanted was to, for Islam to win and for the West to be dismantled.
00:30:25.400And if it meant that she had to, you know, beat her daughter up to get her daughter to understand that that's what needed to be done, then she was fine to do that.
00:30:38.680When I took off my hijab, I had to, I had to escape from her and run for my life because she was so angry at the fact that I would take off my hijab and act like the infidels, act like the non-Muslims and to be like them.
00:30:57.600Um, so it was, you know, it's so hard to explain how somebody's mind can be so brainwashed, so indoctrinated, so possessed with an ideology, but hers was.
00:31:10.040So, Yasmin, I have to tell you, my heart just breaks for you and all of the people that are in this situation because, you know, we hear these stories, you know, they're bad parents, really bad parents, really, really, really, really, really dark people that have children.
00:31:28.380That's, that's, that's, this is, explain the difference.
00:31:33.580Well, I don't, you know, I guess the best way for me to describe it was, this was an analogy that Sam Harris made one time, and I thought this was, this was a really good way of describing it, so I'm going to borrow it from him.
00:31:45.320But he was saying, when you have a Jehovah's Witness family, for example, and they've got a little daughter, and she's going to die if she doesn't have a blood transfusion.
00:31:53.480If they refuse for their daughter to get a blood transfusion, you don't look at those parents and say, those are evil people, those are bad people.
00:32:01.140You say, oh my God, they have been, they have been indoctrinated to believe that killing their daughter is the right thing to do, that allowing their daughter to die is the correct thing to do.
00:32:13.420So, you, you recognize that they're, that they have been possessed by this ideology, and it is making their humanity, it is suppressing their humanity, and it is suppressing it to the point that they're willing to watch their daughter die.
00:32:25.920And that's really the best way to describe this, Islamist ideology is the exact same thing.
00:32:33.780It is, it is coming from a religion, but it is so toxic, and it forces people to completely diminish their humanity and put this ideology first, regardless of who's going to be a victim.
00:32:46.520You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck.
00:32:48.800To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts wherever you get podcasts.
00:32:53.520So, I've been talking to you the last few weeks about some stuff, and I, you'll understand, I, I don't mean to be coy about things, but, well, let me just get into it here.
00:33:05.420You know, the news has been tough, a tough news week, a tough news month, tough news year.
00:33:11.240I mean, you know, more and more people are tuning out to the news.
00:33:14.680It's almost 50% now that don't even watch the news anymore, and that's really, really dangerous.
00:34:53.760When people call you haters or anything else, you know you're not because you're engaged every day.
00:34:59.280You know when I asked you, could we do something to help these Christians that are being deserted and are dying?
00:35:07.060Do you know that the Nazarene Fund, which we started just a few years ago, because of you, you have rescued 260,000 people from persecution.
00:37:05.440And I spent my life digging through it, so you don't have to.
00:37:08.000But we have to know what is happening and what is coming, because we have to be ahead of it.
00:37:16.140So I've been talking to you a while about something that I'm building, and I want to give you a little bit more information on it today.
00:37:25.900Next year, just so you know, I'm not walking away from radio or the stories that matter.
00:37:30.760In fact, I'm going to be doubling down on that.
00:37:32.280But I have told you now for nearly two years that something is shifting inside of me, and I feel like I'm, my calling has changed, and I feel like I'm being called to something different.
00:37:42.960And I've only felt this twice in my life.
00:37:46.240I felt it after I sobered up, and I just knew.
00:37:49.500And then I felt it again when I left Fox News, and I just knew.
00:37:56.980On January 1st of 2026, something new begins, and I have named it The Torch.
00:38:03.820You know, we started the blaze together, and I think it's time now that we take a bit of that fire and light, and we put it on a torch, and we lead our kids out of this darkness into a brighter future.
00:38:18.400And I wish I could tell you every detail today, but the truth is, some things are still being built.
00:39:58.560It is going to include a new kind of museum, a physical and a digital museum, preserving the story of America in ways that we never thought was possible just 10 years ago.
00:40:13.300And it will give you and your family the opportunity to learn through original artifacts, original sources, real stories from real people who are doing real things.
00:40:22.780You know, right now, I don't know if you know this, we handpick about 100 young adults from over 1,000 plus applicants to spend two weeks with us in an immersive learning thing at the American Journey Experience.
00:40:38.820Now, for the very first time, we have built a way for anyone, anywhere in the world, in any language, to do the same thing.
00:40:48.480And I have seen this transform young adults, totally transform them.
00:40:54.940We're also partnering with people of faith and business leaders and educators and innovators, people who know the truth and know how to live it.
00:41:04.920And we're all coming together in January for not to sell you something, but to empower you.
00:41:12.960And I want you to know I'm not asking you for anything today.
00:41:19.600I want you to stay connected and watch what's coming, because I promise you, this will be worth your time.
00:41:27.480Now, if you want to be one of the first people to sign on, join the newsletter at glennbeck.com.
00:41:33.820But only, you know, I suggest that if you are serious about knowing what's coming, being a part of a solution, discovering what your purpose is, wanting to teach your children, lighting a fire that doesn't go out, but that torch that can be passed from generation to generation.
00:41:51.360Sign up now at glennbeck.com, because honestly, I don't want to build new tools or new platforms.
00:41:59.820What I want is renewal of the human spirit.
00:42:03.580And that is honestly what the torch is.
00:42:06.280That is my next mission, and we begin in January.
00:42:10.500And I hope when the time comes, you'll pick up that torch and carry it with me, because we are entering a brave new world.
00:42:20.540And for those of us who have courage and see the handwriting on the wall, it's going to be a very dynamic and exciting times, and the world is going to need people that can lead.
00:42:49.260There's so many aspects of this thing that are just incredible.
00:42:55.100Today, I wanted to tell you a little bit about the history in education, but there's so much more to come, and we'll tell you about it as we go.
00:43:08.400At the same time, I'm scared out of my mind.
00:43:11.340But I just know when you do the right, when you try to do the right thing, no matter how hard it is, when you just, no, I shouldn't say that.
00:43:21.500When you try to do the right thing, and then you pray about it.
00:43:25.920You know, I told you a couple of weeks ago, you have to make the decisions.
00:43:29.420God just told me about a year and a half ago, it's not right, it's not right, it's got to change, things are going to change.
