00:00:00.000 You know, it's it's weird. I don't know. I mean, I don't know how to feel. I know how to feel about this Israel thing. I don't know what to what to hope for with our country. 0.99

00:00:14.760 I mean, we can't send them armaments. We can't only because we've already sent everything we have over to Ukraine. You know, they can buy them, I suppose, and we can make more. But we're already so far behind in our stash.

00:00:30.620 I mean, if if you were China, in the minute the United States would get involved in one of these two conflicts, wouldn't you take Taiwan? What we're going to fight in Ukraine, in Israel and Taiwan? No, no, no, no. Elections have such consequences. This is the most pain for it. Yeah. This is the most consequential election of my life.

00:00:58.660 We don't have the armaments. We can't hit the numbers of recruitment. We don't have the oil, the fuel. We don't have the money to replenish it. We have. We got nothing. It's amazing how fast this thing has has gone down.

00:01:14.480 I think the next election might be our last. So hurry, figure out who to vote for. Our podcast today brought to you by Relief Factor. Relief Factor is a great way to lose the pain that you might have if your pain is caused by inflammation. And most pain is.

00:01:34.900 Most of our disease is also right directly from inflammation. Why don't you try Relief Factor? I know it probably is not going to work for you. That's what I thought.

00:01:47.220 70% of the people who have ordered Relief Factor go on to order more month after month. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor.

00:01:53.760 I know I didn't think it would work. And I take it every day because it does work for me. Relief Factor dot com. 800, the number four relief. 800, the number four relief. It's Relief Factor dot com. Feel the difference.

00:02:07.500 The accusation is that Iran's posture, excuse me, that the U.S., your administration's posture towards Iran has helped contribute to this. I want to get you, give you a chance to respond.

00:02:32.720 Well, there are two things here. First, with regard to the funds that you mentioned that were released to or were made available to Iran for humanitarian purposes as part of getting Americans back or being held and detained in Iran.

00:02:50.820 Let's be very clear about this. And it's deeply unfortunate that some are playing politics when so many lives have been lost and Israel remains under attack.

00:02:58.220 The facts are these. No U.S. taxpayer dollars were involved. These were Iranian resources that Iran had accumulated for the sale of its oil that were stuck in a bank in South Korea.

00:03:10.440 They have had from day one under our law, under our sanctions, the right to use these monies for humanitarian purposes.

00:03:16.040 Okay, so now they've gone from, no, that $6 billion was not, uh-uh. Now it is, but that wasn't U.S. taxpayer dollars. That $6 billion, that wasn't, that's what he's saying there.

00:03:31.600 That the $6 billion was held in a foreign bank, the United States held it back, we released it to them, but that was their money to do with what they want.

00:03:43.140 So we didn't directly contribute to the murder and rape of these citizens?

00:03:46.660 I think that's what he's saying!

00:03:47.480 Oh, wow, that's wonderful. What a wonderful policy.

00:03:50.600 Yeah, so, uh, former State Department Special Advisor for Iran and Polaris National Security Executive Director is Gabriel Narona, and he is, uh, with us now.

00:04:04.040 Is, uh, Gabriel, is that, is that what he was saying there?

00:04:07.500 He is actually claiming that when we give $6 billion to terrorists, it all gets used for food and medicine.

00:04:15.600 And let me tell you, I would like to sell that guy a bridge, uh, because if he believes that, it's, it's simply, you know, I've, I've, I've worked on Iran's budget for five years.

00:04:25.160 That's not how this works.

00:04:26.980 It's when you get $6 billion in your savings account, you can draw down from your checkings account really, really easily.

00:04:34.100 And that's exactly what's happened here.

00:04:37.520 So it is ridiculous to think that they would not pull from another, you get $6 billion, great, pull from another account, exactly what you said.

00:04:48.620 Is there any doubt in your mind that, uh, that $6 billion gift, uh, from the Biden administration, uh, uh, spurred this on or helped this go through?

00:05:03.580 You know, one thing that's really interesting is the Wall Street Journal has reported that in August, Iran started planning and ultimately approved these attacks.

00:05:13.440 August is exactly when the Biden administration announced that they were going to give Iran the $6 billion.

00:05:19.600 Um, I, I don't think that is a coincidence.

00:05:22.440 And here's why, because Iran has been looking for currency stability.

00:05:27.060 They've been looking for financial stability and they didn't, haven't had that recently.

00:05:32.160 Their economy has been up and down, but this infusion of cash gave them the confidence that they could say, Hey, we know that we can backfill our bank accounts.

00:05:41.060 Um, and so these decisions are not made in a vacuum.

00:05:44.500 Um, they are made after you look at all the factors and you say, you know what, we've gotten everything that we want from the U S now.

00:05:51.160 Um, now we can go in and carry out these attacks and we don't have to worry about annoying the United States.

00:05:57.160 Um, so absolutely, um, this is connected.

00:06:00.460 Um, and frankly, it's really interesting that the Biden administration is going out on TV actively saying, Hey, uh, this is all, this is all nonsense.

00:06:10.400 You're all making things up.

00:06:11.980 And it's really because their Iran policy has failed.

00:06:15.040 They're trying to cover up for the fact that, uh, they have given billions and billions of dollars away, not just the 6 billion, but tens of billions of dollars through oil sales.

00:06:26.180 Um, they are now, Iran is exporting, uh, 2 million barrels of oil per day at something like $85 a barrel.

00:06:35.360 That is an enormous amount of money that goes straight to the IRGC, which is Iran's terror arm.

00:06:41.000 Um, Republicans, and even some Democrats have been criticizing them for this.

00:06:45.940 Um, and so they feel this administration feels extremely, uh, vulnerable on this.

00:06:50.460 And so they're going on TV and saying, Nope, Iran had nothing to do with this.

00:06:54.440 How, how close to a nuclear weapon are they?

00:07:00.040 So there's two parts to this.

00:07:02.420 They are about 10 days away from having the fissile material for a bomb.

00:07:06.960 That's all that uranium at a highly enriched level, but they aren't still quite a ways away from actually being able to take that uranium and make it a functioning bomb that can explode.

00:07:17.060 That's more like nine months, maybe a year away.

00:07:19.820 Um, so we should be, we should be concerned, but we don't have to worry that something's about to explode tomorrow.

00:07:26.200 So Iran has, we suspect they haven't admitted it yet. 0.95

00:07:32.460 Um, but they, we suspect them, uh, of being involved according to the wall street journal.

00:07:38.480 They were, um, they have said that if Israel puts boots on the ground in Gaza, they will get involved.

00:07:48.260 What is our response to this?

00:07:52.420 Do you suppose?

00:07:54.320 You know, when I was working for secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, we had a pretty clear policy.

00:07:59.420 We said to Iran, if you or any of your proxies like Hamas or Hezbollah touch a hair on the head of an American citizen, we will hold you Iran responsible for that. 0.99

00:08:10.760 Um, now what we've seen is these attacks have killed nine Americans.

00:08:15.000 Uh, now I am not saying there should be U S boots on the ground anywhere, but we can do something to Iran that makes them pay for, for what they did and makes clear to them. 0.97

00:08:25.180 They do not get to threaten Israel.

00:08:26.940 There are 200,000 Americans living in Israel today.

00:08:30.480 Um, we are not going to accept this and we will put our foot down.

00:08:33.920 Um, right now, president, you know, secretary Blinken is out there calling for ceasefires and deescalation.

00:08:41.100 Let me tell you, if, if the United kingdom or any country after nine 11, September 13th had said, Hey, we, we call for deescalation.

00:08:50.340 We call for a ceasefire.

00:08:51.780 We would have told them to, you know, what, um, the idea that after 700 of your daughters and sons are massacred after your grandparents are massacred in their homes,

00:09:02.340 that we should deescalate or have restraint that, that is incredible statement to me.

00:09:10.460 And so, um, no, Israel deserves to have its defense.

00:09:14.840 They deserve to defend themselves as long as it takes.

00:09:17.620 However, they see fit.

00:09:19.240 They are a democracy.

00:09:20.260 They can make these decisions themselves.

00:09:22.800 How do you deal with an enemy that cannot, uh, live next to you?

00:09:28.540 I mean, all of the charters, Hezbollah, uh, Hamas, um, Iran is deeply into this, uh, Jew hatred. 0.72

00:09:38.780 When they say they are going to annihilate Israel and they will destroy and kill every Jew, they mean it. 1.00

00:09:48.540 So they do.

00:09:49.700 And, and I think, you know what, if there's one thing that the last century taught us, it's that we should believe dictators when they tell us that they're going to do something.

00:09:58.140 When they tell us their plans and intentions, we should take them at face value.

00:10:02.700 And, and so one thing I've heard a lot in the last two days is a lot of people who were supportive of the two state solution,

00:10:09.920 simply coming around and saying, you know what, I just don't believe in that anymore.

00:10:13.640 I just don't see how that's possible after they've done something like this.

00:10:17.540 Um, we'll see how that evolves.

00:10:20.120 Um, but to me, this changes everything.

00:10:22.940 This, uh, this changes last 50 years of Israeli politics.

00:10:28.140 I do not think we can go back.

00:10:30.660 Uh, I don't think there's really a political body can go back to this and, and, uh, treat like this, like this didn't happen.

00:10:39.100 And there's some path to a two state solution anymore.

00:10:42.000 I think that's, I think that's gone.

00:10:43.400 I think that there's plenty of people in Washington that would love to disagree with you on that.

00:10:49.600 There's plenty of people in Washington that are, uh, I think this administration has a lot of them in the internal machine that are not fans of Israel and, uh, will not want to, will not want to help them.

00:11:04.920 Um, you're absolutely right.

00:11:08.540 And that's, you know, one, one evidence for that is, uh, the first tweet that came out of the Biden administration is the state department's office of Palestinian affairs.

00:11:17.400 Um, and again, right after Israelis had been massacred, they were calling for restraint and deescalation.

00:11:24.640 Um, look, I, I worked with a lot of diplomats.

00:11:27.500 There's a lot of really fine Americans there.

00:11:29.400 There's also a lot of, uh, of rot in that system where they don't understand, um, they don't have moral clarity on these issues.

00:11:37.560 And it's really unfortunate that we see that.

00:11:40.120 Um, and I think Israel is perhaps their major blind spot of anywhere in the world. 1.00

00:11:45.580 Um, having this sort of intellectual both sides is that both sides are at fault.

00:11:53.020 Um, no, one side here is, is going in and killing 260 young people at music festivals.

00:12:01.180 Um, that's barbarian.

00:12:03.800 Um, there's nothing civilized about it.

00:12:06.720 Um, and they, and they shouldn't be treated, um, like normal combatants because they're not.

00:12:12.460 So do you think they've shot their wad here?

00:12:14.540 Is this, is this it or are there more things you think coming?

00:12:19.640 What I'm really concerned about is the Northern front, uh, of Hezbollah starting to, uh, make inroads. 0.84

00:12:28.680 Uh, what we've just seen is Israel's reported that, um, operatives have infiltrated the Northern border.

00:12:34.500 They're urging Israeli civilians to stay inside their homes, to lock their doors.

00:12:39.720 Um, Israel's military is, is gearing up for a fight.

00:12:43.280 I hope, and we should all hope and pray that nothing happens there.

00:12:47.320 Um, but there's a really significant possibility that this turns into a multi-front war, um, kind of like we saw 50 years ago in the Yom Kippur War.

00:12:58.220 Um, if that happens, it is an existential threat for the state of Israel.

00:13:02.480 Um, it's one I believe it will win, um, but it will be extremely painful, uh, and costly in human lives.

00:13:09.360 Iran wants to see that war happen. 0.62

00:13:11.820 They want to see Israel destroyed and they want to have other people do it themselves. 0.98

00:13:16.400 And that's why we can't treat Iran as just, you know, another guy out on the street.

00:13:20.960 You have to hold them responsible.

00:13:23.140 Um, the head of Saudi Arabia once called them the head of the snake.

00:13:26.620 Right.

00:13:26.740 And that's what you have to treat them as.

00:13:28.040 So, the, but, Iran is now an ally with Russia.

00:13:34.380 Uh, I mean, you can see a global kind of war shaping up if everybody starts to get involved.

00:13:42.780 No?

00:13:44.880 Um, it's possible.

00:13:46.200 Look, I don't think the U.S. wants boots on the ground.

00:13:48.380 I don't think Russia wants boots on the ground. 0.85

00:13:50.000 I don't think China.

00:13:50.660 Um, but it's clear which side each of these are on.

00:13:55.020 Russia and China are putting out statements, basically, um, both sides are to blame.

00:14:01.260 Iran, of course, is on the wrong side. 1.00

00:14:03.360 It really is up to the United States.

00:14:06.560 Um, Israel has always had to rely just on the United States and just on itself. 0.70

00:14:11.880 Europe, you know, I've been surprised European countries have been a little bit better than

00:14:15.400 I thought they would be.

00:14:16.860 Um, it will last for only a little bit though.

00:14:20.100 As soon as Israel starts retaliating, as they have every right to, you're going to start 0.99

00:14:25.560 seeing signs from the Europeans saying, oh, we need to de-escalate. 0.93

00:14:28.800 Oh, we, we condemn this violence.

00:14:30.740 Oh, yeah.

00:14:31.120 Um, that's, that's just how it's going to happen.

00:14:34.260 So, Israel's defense minister has just ordered a complete siege of Gaza.

00:14:40.120 So, that, uh, that, uh, sentiment that you were just talking about is going to start very,

00:14:46.460 very soon.

00:14:47.560 Um, thank you so much, Gabriel.

00:14:49.120 I, I really appreciate it.

00:14:50.760 Thank you for paying attention to these things and all the work that you did, um, earlier

00:14:55.980 with Iran.

00:14:57.280 Appreciate it.

00:14:58.080 Absolutely.

00:14:58.600 Thank you for having me on, Glenn.

00:14:59.880 You're welcome.

00:15:01.580 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:15:04.220 So, I have, for years, um, probably since 2008 or 9, I started doing research on Iran and

00:15:20.240 the Twelvers.

00:15:21.620 And we've gone through this before.

00:15:23.640 The Twelvers are the ones that believe in the 12th, the mom, the 12th, the mom, after 1.00

00:15:29.680 the death of the, uh, prophet Muhammad crawled into a well because he needed to be protected

00:15:37.180 from those who wanted to kill him.

00:15:38.900 So, he was a little boy.

00:15:40.580 He crawled into a well and they still, these 12ers believe that someday he's going to crawl 1.00

00:15:47.480 out of that well and he's going to lead the march.

00:15:52.280 And, uh, he'll be part of what we know as the apocalypse.

00:16:00.540 He will be, he'll be on the march and he'll be with what, again, we know as the Antichrist.

00:16:10.600 They say that that's the good guy.

00:16:13.820 We say it's the bad guy.

00:16:16.080 The Twelvers are the most dangerous Muslim, uh, sect out there. 1.00

00:16:27.900 They're so dangerous that the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979 outlawed Twelvers. 0.50

00:16:37.820 The problem with that is elections have consequences.

00:16:42.180 Almost everybody now in the regime in Iran is a twelver.

00:16:48.960 So, the first thing you have to do is take these religious people very seriously.

00:16:58.740 And, literally, they believe they can hasten the return of the promised one by washing the 0.92

00:17:10.120 world in blood.

00:17:11.420 They're scriptural words, not mine.

00:17:15.460 That they are going to bring the fires of the Islamic fury to Israel. 1.00

00:17:22.720 And, when they kill all of the Jews, the promised one will come. 1.00

00:17:30.300 We are also known to them as the great Satan.

00:17:34.600 They are serious about destroying Israel and us. 0.99

00:17:41.580 Try not to think of that open border where about four million people are coming through.

00:17:51.540 So, where did this come from?

00:17:53.820 The hatred for the Jews in the Middle East has been going on for a very long time.

00:18:04.740 But there's one guy who is great at propaganda, who really solidified the nationalism, if you will,

00:18:14.660 of the Palestinians, his name was Haj Amin al-Husani.

00:18:28.040 He was the grand mufti back in the 20s and the 30s of Jerusalem.

00:18:35.840 So, he's the kingpin.

00:18:38.420 And he starts hearing things about Hitler and Hitler coming to power.

00:18:45.280 Hitler and he loves it. 0.99

00:18:49.040 He thinks this guy has got it down.

00:18:53.000 Remember, he's a nationalist.

00:18:55.460 Hitler is also a nationalist. 0.89

00:18:58.160 But he thinks he can work with Hitler because they both hate Jews.

00:19:05.300 So, he went up to Berlin and he stayed in Berlin from 1941 to 1945.

00:19:14.220 And he became friends and was seen at the Reich Chancellery.

00:19:21.060 The first thing he did was ask Hitler for a public statement or a secret but formal treaty. 0.72

00:19:30.000 Three, what he was looking for was a pledge not to occupy Arab land.

00:19:36.780 Two, recognize the Arabs strive for independence.

00:19:43.300 And three, support the removal of the proposed Jewish homeland in Palestine.

00:19:51.360 Well, Hitler was like, there can't be a two-state solution here. 0.94

00:19:55.400 Now, remember, this is before Israel even exists.

00:20:00.000 So, it's not like we're oppressed by this Jewish state.

00:20:06.480 What his goal was was to get rid of all of the Jews in the same way that Hitler wanted to get rid of all of the Jews. 0.51

00:20:16.900 So, this is before the state of Israel, which the Palestinians say is the problem.

00:20:24.220 No, it's not the problem.

00:20:26.860 And anyone who says that they will go for a two-state solution doesn't understand the history and also doesn't understand the religiosity of this problem.

00:20:38.760 So, Hitler confirmed that the struggle against the Jewish homeland in Palestine would be part of the struggle against the Jews. 0.64

00:20:48.240 And he said, quote, he would continue the struggle until the complete destruction of the Jewish communist European empire.

00:20:57.720 And when the German army was in proximity to the Arab world, Germany would issue an assurance to the Arab world that the hour of liberation was at hand.

00:21:08.480 It would then be Al-Husani's responsibility to unleash Arab action that he had prepared. 0.93

00:21:15.840 The Fuhrer stated that Germany would not intervene in any eternal Arab matters and that only the only German goal at the time would be the annihilation of Jews.

00:21:28.660 Again, his name was Haj Amin.

00:21:36.160 And his role in shaping Muslim perception of Jews is probably the most important thing that he did in his life.

00:21:47.820 He also was the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.

00:21:50.740 But him shaping the views of Arabs, of Arabs, of Arabs minds when they look at a Jew comes from him. 0.82

00:22:02.120 He did political activism in Palestine, in Germany, and he was also a writer.

00:22:11.000 And he wrote a little booklet, and he made it for Muslim soldiers that would enlist in a very special Nazi SS division in Bosnia.

00:22:26.380 When he was in with Hitler, he spent time with Heinrich Himmler.

00:22:33.900 Himmler had a fascination with Islam and the zealous support for the Nazi cause from the Grand Mufti.

00:22:44.820 They started talking about common interests and enterprises.

00:22:49.700 And that led to the all-volunteer Waffen SS division in Bosnia made up mostly of Bosnian Muslims.

00:22:59.600 This is, if you happen to be watching, I'll describe it if you're not, this is a fez. 0.82

00:23:08.960 Now, fez is associated with Arabs.

00:23:12.820 This is a fez from World War II.

00:23:16.840 This is a fez from that Muslim division that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem started with Hitler. 0.97

00:23:26.940 And you can see it has the eagle on it and the death skull.

00:23:33.520 And it is green instead of red, has a black tassel on it.

00:23:40.780 But what's inside is important as well.

00:23:46.940 You can't see it.

00:23:48.580 I don't think I can get the light to shine in it bright enough.

00:23:51.640 But it's where they, where this hat was made that's important.

00:23:56.640 This particular hat was made in Dachau by the Jews. 0.91

00:24:02.060 So while they were interned and being brutalized and killed, they were also forced to make the Muslim hat, the fez, that the SS officers from the Arab descent would wear.

00:24:21.880 This went on and on.

00:24:25.760 Some people say that it was his idea to have the death camps.

00:24:32.660 But more likely it was Himmler talking to him about the death camps because he wanted to build them all over the Middle East.

00:24:43.380 When the war was over with Germany, then Germany would help them build death camps for Jews all over the Middle East and get rid of them there. 0.75

00:24:52.540 When they say, we are, for instance, this is the great day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on Earth.

00:25:10.460 That is the Hamas commander over the weekend.

00:25:13.480 This is the day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on Earth.

00:25:23.540 When they speak like that, you have to take them seriously and know what they're talking about.

00:25:32.980 There is a battle called Al-Mamahat Al-Kubra, and I'm sure I'm saying that right. 1.00

00:25:40.540 It is a great battle, one of the greatest battles, to end the last occupation on Earth.

00:25:50.820 It is an end times battle, according to Muslim eschatology. 0.96

00:25:59.040 It's the greatest battle.

00:26:01.300 And it has considerable atrocities and killing, a bloody conflict and massacre.

00:26:12.480 And it goes against Israel and all those who fight with them. 0.94

00:26:20.160 When we're talking about Ukraine, yes, we're talking about evil. 1.00

00:26:33.160 Russia comes in and slaughters women and children, and it's evil. 0.95

00:26:38.660 And I believe there is evil all over the world.

00:26:42.800 But when you talk about going up against Israel with these particular people, Iran, Hamas, Palestinians, and Hezbollah,

00:26:58.040 you are talking actual, biblical evil.

00:27:03.480 They don't see themselves as that.

00:27:08.980 But I have spent years comparing the two end-time philosophies.

00:27:17.720 And their bad guy is our good guy, and our good guy is their bad guy.

00:27:23.960 I mean, listen to this.

00:27:25.340 This is from a forum in the Middle East where they were talking about the Grand Mufti.

00:27:34.480 I found this today, and I started reading them like, oh, my gosh.

00:27:38.280 Yeah, they just want a two-state solution.

00:27:41.420 Listen to this.

00:27:41.920 For us Muslims, it is unworthy to utter the word Islam in the same breath with Judaism,

00:27:49.240 since Islam stands high over its adversary. 0.99

00:27:53.080 Therefore, it would be wrong to carry out compassion of those two generally different counterpoints or comparison.

00:28:02.240 Unfortunately, it is insufficiently known that animosity between Islam and Judaism is not of recent date.

00:28:11.300 It reaches long back in history, all the way to the time of the Prophet Muhammad.

00:28:16.360 I'd say it actually goes back to Abraham, but that's just me.

00:28:19.860 This short historical overview will demonstrate the importance and perfidiousness of Jewry 1.00

00:28:27.900 and its animosity toward the founder of Islam.

00:28:30.760 Now, listen how they start this.

00:28:33.060 Jews are known in history only as a subjugated people.

00:28:38.260 Their vulgar nature and insufferable stance towards nations that offered them any hospitality

00:28:44.800 and toward their neighboring nations are the reason that those same nations had to resort

00:28:50.740 to certain measures in order to suppress a Jew's efforts to obtain his desire by force. 0.86

00:28:58.000 The history of antiquity shows us the pharaohs were already forced to use all means against Jewish usury 1.00

00:29:04.960 and Jewish immorality.

00:29:07.020 Ancient Egyptians finally expelled the Jews from their land, led by Moses. 0.99

00:29:12.700 The Jews then arrived at the Sinai Desert, and they wanted to kill their leader and their savior, Moses,

00:29:21.160 when he came back from Mount Sinai.

00:29:23.420 Because of that, God punished them, and they had to meander in the wilderness for 40 years.

00:29:28.100 Following that, listen to this, the Jews spread out like locusts all over the Arab Peninsula. 1.00

00:29:34.400 They came to Mecca, to Medina, to Iraq, to Palestine, which is the land of milk and honey. 0.74

00:29:43.020 When this is one of your educational tools on history, and you refer to people as a locust,

00:29:51.780 and a plague of locusts, I don't think you have a lot of compassion there.

00:29:58.000 And compassion is what you're going to start hearing.

00:30:01.240 Right now, you can't talk about this weekend without knowing that the many of those who were killed

00:30:14.280 were not killed in bombs from Gaza.

00:30:17.680 These terrorists went over into homes and shot families execution style.

00:30:23.620 Then they took as many as 700 people and kidnapped them.

00:30:32.060 What they're doing with them or plan to do with them is God only knows.

00:30:41.440 But they were brutally killing and dragging naked bodies through the streets.

00:30:47.700 That's not somebody who just wants a two-state solution.

00:30:54.740 And as Israel decides that they are going to, now they have said that they are going to bring in 0.96

00:31:03.640 their troops into Gaza, Iran says that'll be a trigger point for them.

00:31:11.180 God and Magog, what are those two ancient lands?

00:31:17.880 Russia and Iran.

00:31:21.840 Never before have they been allies.

00:31:24.620 They are allies right now.

00:31:27.120 When those two descend on Israel, trouble begins.

00:31:32.940 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:31:35.720 Alan, I thought of you all weekend and every Jew on the planet this weekend,

00:31:45.620 especially those directly in the line of fire in Israel.

00:31:51.820 Welcome to the program.

00:31:53.820 Well, thanks.

00:31:54.460 You know, it was just 10 days ago or so that I had a three-hour dinner with Benjamin Netanyahu.

00:31:59.620 And we talked about all the threats that Israel was facing, but nobody, nobody could have imagined this.

00:32:07.760 Raping, raping Jewish women, killing Jewish babies, and Harvard law students are supporting it. 1.00

00:32:15.100 Harvard law students are supporting it.

00:32:17.780 A group of about 30 Harvard Jewish, Harvard organizations has supported Hamas and said,

00:32:24.060 this is all the blame of Israel. 0.65

00:32:26.380 Women being raped is the fault of Israel. 1.00

00:32:30.620 Barack Obama hasn't said an effing word about this.

00:32:34.980 You can imagine if this were directed against any other minority.

00:32:40.320 The president of Harvard hasn't said a word about this.

00:32:43.560 The president of Yale, there's a demonstration today of Yale students.

00:32:49.020 City University of New York Law School students put all the blame for this on Israel.

00:32:56.100 These are our future leaders.

00:32:59.160 These are the people today who are being educated to become the heads of our legislative, executive, and judicial branch,

00:33:07.080 the heads of the New York Times.

00:33:09.040 We are a country in moral crisis.

00:33:12.100 When you get our future leaders defending rapists and murderers and putting the blame on innocent people who just went to a concert.

00:33:22.440 But let's remember where the real focus is.

00:33:25.100 The real villain here is Iran. 1.00

00:33:28.120 Iran put them up to it. 0.93

00:33:30.000 We now know from Wall Street Journal reporting that there were meetings in Lebanon in which Iran gave them the green light,

00:33:37.960 told them to go forward.

00:33:39.160 And this will never end unless there's regime change in Iran.

00:33:44.840 And the first step that should be taken is for the United States and Israel, together with the fleet that is now approaching the eastern Mediterranean,

00:33:55.720 to destroy Iran's nuclear reactor.

00:33:58.360 They cannot come out of this thing a winner.

00:34:01.600 Iran must come out of this thing losing its most valuable weapon, the nuclear arsenal.

00:34:07.420 The United States and Israel and Saudi Arabia all would like to see Iran's nuclear arsenal destroyed.

00:34:14.640 This is the time to do it, because the world will finally understand that Iran is behind all this, 1.00

00:34:22.760 and that, you know, Hamas and Hezbollah are puppets, mere surrogates,

00:34:26.420 that just do the bidding of this horrible, horrible Nazi regime in Iran that will never be satisfied with the two-state solution, 0.84

00:34:37.100 with the end of the occupation.

00:34:39.380 They want Israel wiped off the map, and every single Israeli Jew murdered.

00:34:45.080 And if there was ever, ever proof of that, it's this horrible genocide.

00:34:50.940 You know, more people were killed this weekend.

00:34:53.500 More Jews were killed during Kristallnacht.

00:34:56.040 And, you know, we keep forgetting that Harvard, places like Harvard, were a center of Nazi support during the 1930s.

00:35:02.980 Oh, yeah.

00:35:03.400 Harvard University welcomed Nazis, gave them honorary degrees. 0.82

00:35:08.880 Columbia University did the same.

00:35:10.720 Same, and Italian fascists, too.

00:35:14.020 Columbia University named an Italian center in support of Mussolini.

00:35:20.480 So, you know, do not count on American academic institutions.

00:35:24.400 They produce our leaders.

00:35:25.880 That's a problem, not a solution.

00:35:28.060 So, Alan, I hate to say it, but I think that America is, you're right, we're in a moral crisis right now.

00:35:45.180 How you can watch this and not be just horrified at what you saw.

00:35:51.460 But I believe, now Stu said it would take a few days or maybe even a week or so, but I believe as soon as that number becomes more people killed in Palestine than they slaughtered in Israel,

00:36:09.780 I think people are going to immediately say, OK, OK, that's enough.

00:36:13.940 Now you're being a bully.

00:36:15.600 No, I mean, I don't know what the number is or how you're going to wipe this out.

00:36:21.060 But Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, those regimes have got to go.

00:36:28.180 They've got to go or you're never going to have any kind of peace.

00:36:31.260 You're right.

00:36:32.660 But already there are people calling for a ceasefire.

00:36:35.440 I know.

00:36:35.860 With almost a thousand Israelis, maybe even more murdered and perhaps as many as 100 holding hostage, they're calling for a ceasefire.

00:36:44.360 Let them first arrange for all the hostages to be sent back.

00:36:48.240 Then call for a ceasefire.

00:36:50.120 But don't call for a ceasefire while there are 100 Israelis and some Americans and some people from other countries, Brits and other countries that are being held hostage.

00:36:59.760 And these are not soldiers.

00:37:00.640 These are young women, babies, Holocaust survivors, people my age.

00:37:07.140 I wish I were young enough to go to Israel and fight for them, because this is an existential battle, not only for the survival of the nation state of the Jewish people, 0.60

00:37:16.240 but for the survival of democratic Western Judeo-Christian values, which are at stake here.

00:37:23.960 You know, the head, Muah, recently said Israel's first, but they're not the last.

00:37:30.640 Christianity is being attacked all over the Middle East by radical Muslims who will not rest until every Jew and every Christian is dead or converted. 0.99

00:37:42.460 So, you know, this is this is this is a fight for for the survival of everything that we believe in.

00:37:51.300 And America and Israel not only must stand together, but all Americans must stand together.

00:37:57.640 Barack Obama has to get up and make a statement.

00:38:00.260 Yeah, he's going to lose some friends among the Hamas people. 0.78

00:38:02.700 But the squad, the squad, the evil squad must stand up in support of American and Israeli values. 0.91

00:38:10.320 But they won't.

00:38:11.660 The Harvard students, the Yale students, the City University of New York.

00:38:16.580 I went to that university.

00:38:17.880 I went to Brooklyn College.

00:38:19.200 It was a great place.

00:38:20.400 It was a free school for children of immigrants.

00:38:23.040 Today, it's a radical hotbed of of progressive, woke and even communist involvement where everything is the fault of.

00:38:33.300 And by the way, they don't care about Israel.

00:38:35.080 Everything is the fault of America.

00:38:37.340 We're the villains.

00:38:38.660 You know, we're the big Satan, according to the students at the the at the City University of New York, paid for by me and you, by taxpayer money, federal and state money.

00:38:50.240 These are students and faculty and deans that are calling for the destruction of Israel.

00:38:56.240 You know, the faculty at City University of New York, the faculty of the law school unanimously voted for a boycott against Israel.

00:39:06.360 That's the faculty of of a major law school in New York City.

00:39:11.700 I mean, we are in a crisis of of unknown dimensions and and we have to we have to fight back with all of our moral force.

00:39:21.000 We have the majority, but we are silent.

00:39:23.420 It's it's the the the hundreds of students at these major universities that are speaking out the thousands and tens of thousands who support the United States and support Israel.

00:39:35.040 Now, let's remember here, this was as much an attack on the United States as it was in Israel. 0.84

00:39:39.580 The Israelis are the victims directly. 0.98

00:39:42.660 But this was an attempt to try to destroy efforts by the United States to bring about peace between the Saudis, the United States and Israel.

00:39:52.100 And so this is a direct attack on the United States.

00:39:54.900 I will tell you, Ellen, I am I am with you on everything you you say on this.

00:40:01.420 Israel is our closest and our best ally, I believe the there's all kinds of biblical reasons to support Israel and stand on their side.

00:40:12.860 But I am so concerned that our military has been so degraded.

00:40:18.320 We are out of cash.

00:40:21.240 We we are we've used seven years of our missiles and sent them over to Ukraine. 0.89

00:40:29.260 It'll take us seven years to be able to manufacture them and get them back online.

00:40:34.840 And now we're now $6 billion to the terrorist regime of Tehran.

00:40:41.320 First of all, there should immediately be a lawsuit brought by relatives of the victims of this terror, particularly Americans.

00:40:49.900 There are many Americans who were killed and captured lawsuits brought to freeze the $6 billion and use it to compensate the victims of the Iranian hostilities.

00:41:01.220 There's no reason why they should be able to get one penny.

00:41:04.500 And Secretary of State Blinken, who does he think he's fooling when he says, oh, this money isn't going to weapons.

00:41:10.260 It's going to to food. Iran's a rich country.

00:41:14.460 They don't need our money to get them food and medicine.

00:41:17.720 They can afford that. Just divert a little bit of it away from their terrorism and toward toward really humanitarian issues.

00:41:25.780 So not a single penny should be allowed to be unfrozen and given to Iran. 0.65

00:41:31.360 And we have to stop that. Lawsuits should be brought, and I would be happy to cooperate in any such lawsuit to freeze that money and make sure not a penny of it goes to support further terrorist acts.

00:41:43.320 When you pay $6 billion to release an American hostage, what you're simply doing is raising the price for hostage taking, and there'll be more hostage taking.

00:41:55.560 That's been in the history. I wrote a book many years ago called Why Terrorism Works, and the answer was very simple because we pay for it.

00:42:03.900 We reward it, and Iran is the winner here. They're sitting there in Tehran, and they're gloating, and they're laughing while Israelis and Palestinian mothers and children are suffering. 0.99

00:42:14.620 They don't care. Not a single Iranian has been killed in this. They're the winners, and we can't allow them to be the winners. 1.00

00:42:22.040 I have an article in today's New York Post saying that the only answer is to hold Iran completely responsible for this and treat them as if they were the ones who came to that art festival and raped and murdered innocent people.

00:42:38.320 This is one of the reasons, though, that I haven't voted for a Democrat, especially recently.

00:42:44.820 The whole Iranian bill that they passed and that Donald Trump brought back, I mean, they've lost their mind on Middle East politics, in my opinion.

00:42:58.920 And I know that you've...

00:43:00.840 I agree with you. I know I agree with you, but look, I want to commend President Biden for the statement he made yesterday.

00:43:06.100 It was a wholehearted, full-throated statement in support.

00:43:10.380 Sending the Gerald Ford group of aircraft carrier into the Middle East is a good thing. 0.83

00:43:18.080 So I don't want to make this into a partisan issue.

00:43:21.820 I want Americans of all political stripes to support it and marginalize the Barack Obamas who won't say anything.

00:43:30.320 I bet you Barack Obama will say something.

00:43:32.380 I mean, his people will call him and say, look, you're being attacked, you're being criticized.

00:43:36.880 He'll probably make some mealy-mouthed statement.

00:43:39.080 But Barack Obama is one of the great villains of this piece.

00:43:43.220 You know, he called me into the Oval Office just before his second election, and he said, Alan, you know me for a long time.

00:43:48.920 You know, I was a teacher. He was a student at Harvard.

00:43:51.540 He said, you know I have Israel's back. 0.63

00:43:53.360 What I didn't realize is that he was painting a target on it and allowing Israel to be used as the scapegoat.

00:44:00.400 As he was leaving office, he gave one last goodbye present to Israel.

00:44:06.020 He allowed the United Nations to declare the Security Council, with the United States vote,

00:44:11.420 to declare the Western Wall, the holiest place of Judaism, something that's been part of Judaism for thousands of years,

00:44:19.520 to declare that legally occupied territory.

00:44:22.600 Unbelievable.

00:44:22.880 The Hadassah Hospital, the Hebrew University, all of which he, Barack Obama, allowed to be called illegally occupied territory.

00:44:33.580 Shame on him.

00:44:34.420 Alan, best of luck.

00:44:37.940 So you know, our charity, my charity, is kicked into high gear, and we're doing everything that we can.

00:44:44.980 And if there's anything that we can help...

00:44:48.200 There's no better group supporting Israel today than evangelical Christians.

00:44:53.100 I don't speak on behalf of Jews or on behalf of Israel.

00:44:55.800 I only speak on behalf of myself.

00:44:57.100 But thank you.

00:44:58.440 Thank you, evangelical Christians.

00:45:00.380 Thank you, Christians of every stripe and every dimension, for being so supportive of Israel.

00:45:08.880 And I hope, I know you will continue to show that kind of support.

00:45:13.200 I know I took my family almost 10 years ago to Auschwitz, and I told my kids to read up.

00:45:23.800 They could pick anybody they wanted to pick, but they had to be one of the righteous among the nations.

00:45:29.160 And I told them then, now is the time to decide who we are.

00:45:33.460 And we stand proudly with Israel and the Jewish people.

00:45:37.380 Thank you.

00:45:38.020 Thank you.

00:45:38.460 Na, na, na, na, na.
