00:00:27.100 SUVW. German engineered for all.

00:00:30.000 There is so much. There's the war, the bang bang that's going on in the war, and then there's the 0.90

00:00:35.160 bang bang happening with Eric Swalwell. Gosh, what a surprise. Good thing that CNN is on the

00:00:41.420 case saying, this is good journalism that ratted that out. No, it's not. It has nothing to do with

00:00:46.660 journalism. It has everything to do with he was hurting the progressives in California, and so

00:00:51.640 they decided he's no longer worth it. Let's go ahead and let him pay for all of the mistakes

00:00:57.980 that we have been covering up.

00:00:59.340 But you'll notice there's 50 people that came out and said

00:01:03.180 that he was sexually abusing me while he was in office.

00:01:07.200 You will never see anybody go after who covered this up.

00:01:11.760 Never.

00:01:12.380 Because it's only about the gubernatorial race in California at this point.

00:01:18.260 Also, we talk about the Strait of Hormuz,

00:01:20.160 how it may end up actually benefiting us.

00:01:23.140 Is there another way that the president may be looking at this?

00:01:26.000 And Ezra Levant talks to us about what happened in Ireland.

00:01:30.780 There are protesters on the streets and freedom and freedom of speech is really on the rocks in Ireland.

00:01:39.560 We'll bring you up to speed on that and so much more on today's podcast.

00:01:43.780 First, let me tell you about our sponsors, Patriot Mobile.

00:01:46.980 Sometimes you make a change and almost immediately you have that thought.

00:01:51.140 Why did I wait so long to do that?

00:01:53.180 Because it wasn't hard.

00:01:54.720 It wasn't risky.

00:01:56.000 You know, once you've done it, it feels really, really obvious.

00:01:58.600 Like it was the right move all along.

00:02:00.700 Okay.

00:02:01.280 That's what this is with switching over to Patriot Mobile.

00:02:04.000 It's really simple.

00:02:05.120 And you're going to say to yourself, why didn't I do that a long time ago?

00:02:08.900 You're going to get the same exact reliable coverage because they are on all three major

00:02:14.180 carrier networks.

00:02:15.320 They have plans that fit your life, a hundred percent us-based customer support.

00:02:24.820 know some of that money that you pay to verizon goes to planned parenthood okay i'm not for that

00:02:31.420 uh when it goes to patriot mobile that money goes to defend our bill of rights our constitution

00:03:15.880 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

00:03:18.540 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

00:03:26.740 big tech's algorithm to reach more americans who need to hear the truth this isn't a podcast

00:03:31.900 this is a movement and you're part of it a big part of it so if you believe in what we're doing

00:03:37.120 you want more people to wake up help us push this podcast to the top rate review share together

00:03:42.880 we'll make a difference and thanks for standing with us now let's get to work

00:03:51.840 you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program how many of you pull from the insiders

00:04:02.300 and this does not reflect I think the average American but it shows if you are told the the

00:04:10.220 bigger picture if you understand what I told you a few minutes ago about oil prices and what Donald

00:04:16.700 Trump is actually doing in the Middle East, which would explain his tweet from last week that nobody

00:04:22.020 talked about, the biggest reset in history. Once you understand what he's doing, you have more

00:04:28.860 tolerance. So we ask, are temporary high gas prices acceptable in the fight against Iran? 0.76

00:04:35.180 Most people knee-jerk no. But if you understand what's going on and see the bigger picture,

00:04:42.480 95% of the insiders say, yes, I'll tolerate high gas prices if it resets the world toward America.

00:04:49.940 No, Americans are already struggling.

00:04:52.320 We shouldn't be forced to struggle more.

00:04:54.180 5%.

00:04:54.780 I think that's wildly out of step with the average American.

00:04:59.260 But that shows once you have an understanding, you begin to say, I'll take the short-term hit.

00:05:07.800 Now, in Ireland, and it's beginning in France,

00:05:13.380 they are having so many problems with the price of oil.

00:05:19.180 To fill up a truck now in Ireland is about $1,000,

00:05:22.420 if you're a semi, $1,000 to fill up a truck.

00:05:24.820 It's $200 to fill up an average car.

00:05:28.000 How are you going to do that?

00:05:28.960 Especially in Ireland, where the economy has been decimated for so long.

00:05:33.840 The problem is not the price of oil, per se.

00:05:36.120 The problem is just like California, half of what they're paying is going to taxes.

00:05:41.480 And so the people started standing up against this to say, you got to give us tax relief here.

00:05:45.860 And the government started to say, we're going to arrest these protesters.

00:05:49.360 And it's only gotten worse.

00:05:51.120 This weekend in Ireland was our good friend Ezra Levant.

00:05:55.340 He is from Rebel News up in Canada.

00:05:58.620 And Ezra, thank you for going and helping us understand exactly what's happening.

00:06:03.460 tell me tell me the press is going to make these people into dangerous radicals and revolutionaries

00:06:11.660 who are the people that are protesting well i tell you first of all thanks for having me on

00:06:17.260 the show second of all i've become such an ireland fan boy i've been there nine times over the last

00:06:23.480 two years and i've it's a small country only five million people you can drive across the whole

00:06:28.020 island in less than a day. So they have a real communal connectedness. It's almost like everyone

00:06:34.860 knows a cousin somewhere. And the reason I mentioned that is it's almost as if the whole

00:06:40.060 country has collectively over their dining room table decided enough is enough. And it's sort of

00:06:47.620 incredible because all across the country, ordinary farmers and truckers, it's almost like

00:06:53.320 a spontaneous movement because, you know, they're not represented in Parliament, either by the

00:06:58.900 government or the official opposition, but just grassroots ordinary Irish farmers and truckers

00:07:04.480 have started blocking roads and blocking other key infrastructure, slowing the whole country down to

00:07:11.160 a crawl. But here's the incredible thing, the people who are inconvenienced by it, they're

00:07:16.080 supportive of it. Most Irish support, I'd almost call it a national strike. And we were on the

00:07:23.080 highways and it was extremely inconvenient and we would stop and chat with the people blocking the

00:07:28.460 roads none of them have ever been to a protest before in their lives they're all wearing their

00:07:33.380 working clothes like farmers dressed in their high-vis vests and like it's the realest people

00:07:39.320 you've ever met i asked every one of them two questions the first is why are you here and they

00:07:45.000 all said the fuel taxes are just too much so this is a tax revolt sort of like you know the tea party

00:07:52.020 or the, you know, it's, it's a little bit, uh, I don't, I don't want to call it American style 0.99

00:07:56.380 because the Irish are rebellious in their own way. And the second question I asked each, 0.80

00:08:00.920 each one, like these people are blocking major highways, I understand. So I said to every one

00:08:05.920 of them, what are the cops saying to you? Every single one said the cops are giving them the

00:08:12.640 thumbs up, not telling them to move. Now there have been some incidents where the cops have

00:08:16.680 gotten a little rough but in the main the country is being shut down it's almost like a general

00:08:22.860 strike so the the uh the government is not reacting well to this i mean first they started

00:08:33.560 to go after them now they're starting to go after the media and saying that the media is distorting

00:08:39.080 this i mean what is happening to freedom in ireland well if ireland is such a disconnect

00:08:46.060 between the people and the government.

00:08:48.480 Let me give you three quick examples. 0.93

00:08:50.980 Mass immigration.

00:08:52.640 I mentioned there's 5 million people in Ireland.

00:08:55.380 1 million of them are foreign-born,

00:08:57.500 and there's such mass immigration.

00:09:00.080 It's the fastest mass immigration in the Western world.

00:09:04.060 It's astonishing, and that's driven up the price of housing 0.99

00:09:08.340 and everything out of reach for the ordinary Irish.

00:09:11.860 Like most places, mass immigration is deeply unpopular,

00:09:15.460 but both the government and the opposition support it so what's an irishman to do you can't really

00:09:20.940 vote for any of the main parties so that's one factor here's another they had a constitutional

00:09:27.940 referendum i don't know if you've ever read the irish constitution that's not something most

00:09:31.920 people do but it's actually an amazing document there's a section on motherhood can you believe

00:09:38.200 it they talk about the value of mothers and protecting mothers and their right to be to

00:09:44.700 raise kids at home like it's an incredible i've never seen that in any world constitution ever

00:09:50.240 well for some weird reason the entire establishment thought let's get rid of that

00:09:56.440 so they had a referendum what do you think what do you think the people said it was an overwhelming

00:10:02.140 rebuke of the entire establishment of course they didn't want to get motherhood out of the

00:10:07.620 constitution because you know what that means that gets rid of the definition of a woman 0.97

00:10:11.680 the definition of like it was crazy so that's strike two and then strike three i let me throw

00:10:17.500 this one last thing at you glenn because it's the craziest part of it all so they elect their

00:10:21.680 president there it's more of a symbolic role but still it's like the the the mascot of ireland

00:10:28.760 let's say but with more gravity it's a closed loop though you have to get the support of of

00:10:35.360 incumbent members of parliament before you're allowed to run so there was this conservative

00:10:39.460 woman who wanted to run named Maria Steen, she was not allowed on the ballot, but more than 200,000

00:10:48.000 Irish either spoiled their ballot or wrote her name in. So those are three crazy examples of the 0.88

00:10:55.780 entire Irish establishment being against the people. And I think this fuel tax was just the

00:11:02.140 straw that broke the camel's back. And the whole country at the same time said, enough.

00:11:07.620 so i am really concerned you know i'm i'm going over with tommy robinson i'm going to be speaking

00:11:13.360 at his rally in london oh they expect this to be the largest rally ever in england um and uh i'm a

00:11:22.360 little nervous about it honestly because i don't know exactly who is also going to be speaking etc

00:11:27.600 etc and i know that they are going to blame anything on this group of people and so i just

00:11:34.320 want to be really really careful and i know tommy is being very very careful to make sure the right

00:11:40.320 message is sent because the freedom of speech over in england and great britain is to say it's on the

00:11:47.920 ropes is almost a comedic understatement um the the go ahead no no you're so right and i i think

00:11:58.500 that the u.s administration has scolded the uk for its censorship and but ireland is even worse

00:12:06.940 than the uk by some measures so tommy's half irish but he really is um i think uh his home base is the

00:12:15.620 uk which is where you'll be speaking i didn't know you'd be speaking and that's amazing ireland

00:12:20.120 is still in the european union and that means a whole bunch of crazy things ranging from their

00:12:26.620 obligation to take in mass immigration and asylum seekers to um they're part of the european wide

00:12:34.900 censorship program they are ireland is at war with elon musk because ireland is part of the

00:12:40.840 european union they they get involved with europe wide censorship and elon musk is public enemy

00:12:48.020 number one and by the way as you know elon musk is now helping tommy by covering his legal fees

00:12:52.060 My point, Glenn, is that Europe, I mean, Ireland and the UK are sort of a race to be who can be the worst censor.

00:13:00.220 But the thing to remember is neither of them have the First Amendment, neither does Canada, neither does Australia and New Zealand with their censorship.

00:13:07.760 Glenn, if there's only one message I would have your listeners remember, it's do not give up that First Amendment.

00:13:14.380 It is the strategic freedom upon which all other freedoms are based.

00:13:19.040 What use is an election if you don't have free speech?

00:13:21.880 What use is freedom of association or freedom of assembly if you don't have the right to speak freely at those assemblies?

00:13:28.540 Never give up your First Amendment. Never.

00:13:31.700 So are you seeing, because I saw France, there are truckers now that are doing exactly the same thing that is Ireland.

00:13:42.360 Two questions. You've alluded to it. I just want a clear yes or no answer on this one.

00:13:47.700 this is tied now it's gasoline was the straw but this is now about all of this stuff that

00:13:56.120 trump has been fighting against all of this wef nonsense um and is are you seeing this starting

00:14:03.500 to spread because it looked like it was happening now in france as well this weekend it hasn't

00:14:09.980 spread on the scale of ireland ireland really is right in general strike mode i asked every single

00:14:16.620 person what's on your mind almost everyone said fuel that's the straw that broke the camel's back

00:14:21.360 but you cannot ignore those other things i mentioned of the political class just being

00:14:25.540 out of touch the ireland for some reason is ngo central there are 50 000 ngos in a country of

00:14:34.760 five million they're all government funded and and they work to squelch these grassroots people

00:14:40.800 there is also a there's a class issue here i mean i'm not a marxist but you can see the elite

00:14:46.480 dublin-based globalists look down their nose at these farmers and truckers and it's sort of the

00:14:52.680 deplorables they they don't use the word the deplorables but you can sense they feel it

00:14:56.980 they would rather and keir starmer the british prime minister said this he said he would and

00:15:01.820 he's the same cut from the same cloth he said he would rather be at davos in the world economic

00:15:06.420 forum than in his british parliament and i think the irish leaders are the same way

00:15:11.040 they want to swan about with other eu leaders that's another reason to break up the eu

00:15:16.420 is you need your politicians to listen to their own people that's part of sovereignty don't run

00:15:22.820 errands for foreign uh organizations i'm excited about ireland because they have that rebellious

00:15:28.480 spirit just like americans do more than others anyhow sorry i'm going on because it's very

00:15:33.620 exciting well i mean you know the eu just last week or the week before just passed uh in their

00:15:38.900 own parliament um a a rejection of the open borders and started saying some of these people

00:15:46.060 have to start now being deported and get out i mean it was very trumpian in a european standard

00:15:51.520 um and it it looks like there is a beginning of something so is this how does this end ezra is

00:15:58.620 this just a quick fire that's put out or does this spread do you think well i sure hope it spreads

00:16:06.260 ireland is pretty small place just five million people um and so i don't know if it's going to

00:16:11.760 spread in france because there's the different language the different demographics so there's

00:16:16.000 so many differences but if ireland is able to stand up and shake off its globalist government

00:16:23.300 i think that'll at least be an inspiration to other countries super quick comment about the

00:16:27.860 other eastern side of europe as you know victor orban of hungary finally lost an election after

00:16:34.160 15 years and i was sort of depressed about that because he held the line on immigration well the

00:16:38.380 good news, a white pill moment for the kids would be that the man who won, he supports

00:16:46.460 Orban's view on immigration. So that wasn't, he was part of the party. That's right. Yeah. So I

00:16:52.640 think that it was about corruption. Exactly. And you know, 15 years, any, any government's going

00:16:59.000 to get a little bit stale and a little bit too accustomed to power. So I'm hopeful for Ireland.

00:17:04.460 they have a problem that a lot of the farmers told this idea it is almost completely ireland

00:17:14.420 there's only one small independent outlet called gripped and they're wonderful by the way if you're

00:17:19.200 not following them g-r-i-p-t dot i-e that's their internet suffix there they're a great little band

00:17:27.140 of uh citizen journalists but other than but there's only like half a dozen in them other than

00:17:32.020 gripped i don't i mean it's just their state broadcaster is so dominant and it's such a

00:17:38.200 propaganda tool for the government they need independent journalists bad okay so what is the

00:17:44.440 address again g-r-i-p-p-t g-r-i-p-t gripped yeah g-r-i-p-t dot i-e i know it's a little unusual

00:17:55.140 So that's the Irish version of .com.

00:17:58.000 So G-R-I-P-T dot I-E.

00:18:01.740 I love those guys.

00:18:03.380 And by the way, they come from a Christian point of view sometimes on issues like pro-life and motherhood.

00:18:10.760 So I think they're right up your alley, Glenn.

00:18:13.580 I will look him up.

00:18:15.600 And I urge everybody to support Ezra and what he does.

00:18:18.660 He's rebelnews.com, rebelnews.com.

00:18:21.320 I want to have you back later this week because Canada has like literally gone insane.

00:18:26.380 Ezra, you know this, but boy, it is getting scary what's happening, how fast it's happening.

00:18:30.840 We'll have you on later this week if you have time.

00:18:32.840 I know you're going back to Ireland.

00:18:34.900 Rebelnews.com, rebelnews.com, actual news from Canada.

00:18:39.740 Ezra Levant.

00:18:40.260 Thank you, Ezra.

00:18:40.860 We'll talk again.

00:18:43.580 Most people think preparedness is just about what you buy ahead of time.

00:18:47.920 You get the kit, you put it somewhere safe, and you say, okay, I'm covered.

00:18:51.320 But let's be honest, that's really only half of it, because when something actually happens, the question is, do I have this?

00:18:57.060 The question is, do I know what to do with it?

00:18:59.400 This is the idea behind Jace Plus.

00:19:44.240 Now back to the podcast.

00:19:45.920 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:50.180 21 hour face-to-face talks in islamabad collapsed yesterday uh jd vance called it bad news for

00:20:00.320 iran everybody else said i don't know it looks like donald trump is gonna get us out

00:20:05.160 oh it's like honestly it's like the internet has rabies stop it stop it remember last week

00:20:18.940 everybody's saying oh donald trump donald trump he's just whipping out he's gonna give in to all

00:20:24.240 of it he's gonna be a whip and we did this all for nothing did you see why iran walked away

00:20:30.720 because everybody who said he was a chicken hawk last week looks like you were proven wrong because

00:20:38.460 we walked away because we said uh no you have to end all uranium enrichment dismantle all major

00:20:46.980 nuclear enrichment facilities. Retrieve

00:20:49.180 highly enriched uranium.

00:20:51.060 Accept a broader peace, security and de-escalation

00:20:53.460 framework that includes

00:20:55.040 your regional allies. End funding

00:20:57.120 for terrorist proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah

00:20:59.260 and the Houthis. And fully

00:21:01.000 open the Strait of Hormuz,

00:21:02.980 charging no tolls for passage.

00:21:05.860 That was our red line.

00:21:08.100 Told you that last week.

00:21:09.280 Donald Trump told you that. Weeks and weeks

00:21:11.220 and weeks ago. But everybody

00:21:13.220 online...

00:21:13.940 Oh, there's a really important reason I am starting with the rabid dogs.

00:21:24.660 Because it is why these talks fell apart yesterday.

00:21:28.100 I'll explain.

00:21:29.000 First, let me just continue on with the talks here.

00:21:32.100 Trump immediately announced the U.S. Navy was going to enforce a full blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

00:21:37.140 Now, what does that mean?

00:21:38.660 Because I thought we were here to stay.

00:21:40.100 We've got to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

00:21:42.200 Yeah.

00:21:42.620 think people think he's meaning he is going to make sure that it is open but if you get any oil

00:21:54.620 from iran you're not moving if you are paying a toll to iran you're not going anywhere but he

00:22:00.840 will keep the straight open for everybody else that's what he's talking about he's going to

00:22:07.000 interdict any ships paying the illegal tolls he's clearing the mines he did that as soon as they set

00:22:12.320 down on the table he went in there and he started clearing the mines and he's going to prevent

00:22:16.240 entry and exit for any ship that is headed towards iran two-week ceasefire now on life support

00:22:23.680 especially with israel still hammering hezbollah and lebanon but you know iran is saying we don't 0.98

00:22:29.800 control them yeah well we can say we don't control israel one of us is telling the truth the other

00:22:35.400 one's not. This is exactly the leverage that Trump telegraphed. He said it was coming. Iran

00:22:43.120 came ready to negotiate, but believed it held enough cards. And when you look at it, you got 0.70

00:22:49.540 to ask yourself, what cards do they think they hold? What cards do they hold? Oh, I'll tell you

00:22:56.140 here in a second. But here's what we learned. So far, Iran is not suicidal in the conventional

00:23:02.760 sense okay i told you these are 12ers they believe you know that chaos and martyrdom will hasten the 1.00

00:23:10.020 return of the promised one and end of the times and blah blah blah they still believe all of that 0.84

00:23:15.360 crap okay however it's not hard line hard line what's what's happening here is um they are looking

00:23:27.340 at this and saying that's real however there's enough people at the table who are like yeah you 0.97

00:23:34.080 can you can frame suffering as sacred destiny but we'd rather not all die okay the delegation that

00:23:42.240 showed up proves that they calculate survival there were enough people at the table they brought

00:23:49.440 everybody they needed to bring this was not a joke uh of a of a ceasefire or a peace hearing okay

00:23:57.260 But they weren't purely death cult. They're a hybrid. They're also not purely regime preservation and proxy leverage. They're a hybrid.

00:24:09.660 So I'll show you here in a minute. We have a guest who's done the math, and he'll show you the suffering that they will actually have.

00:24:19.520 The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is going to cost Iran approximately $276 million a day in lost exports, $159 million a day in imports.

00:24:30.840 That's a combined economic damage of $435 million a day or $13 billion a month.

00:24:39.660 90% of their annual trade comes through there.

00:24:44.660 So they're in trouble.

00:24:47.640 They're in real, real trouble.

00:24:49.040 So why?

00:24:50.160 Because collapse is coming.

00:24:52.300 Pain is insured.

00:24:54.320 What do they see that we don't?

00:24:59.340 You're not going to like the answer.

00:25:01.540 It's not missiles.

00:25:03.000 It's not that they have secret weapons.

00:25:06.720 What do they see that we don't?

00:25:10.040 They see us.

00:25:11.300 they see our domestic divisions more clearly than we do social media has turned the fog of war

00:25:21.380 into a superpower it really is every oil price tweet every anti-war clip every maga versus neocon

00:25:29.740 argument is amplified and it's heard all over the world they believe that trump is transactional

00:25:37.800 and he hates forever wars they believe that other podcasters don't but they do and they know that

00:25:45.680 they he might settle for a face-saving deal if the pain gas prices stock market hits you they

00:25:54.460 also know america is really tired of these wars we're polarized and sustained pressure could

00:26:00.740 fracture U.S. support the way it did in Iraq and in Afghanistan. They also see that global

00:26:08.340 dependence on oil gives them asymmetric power, close to the strait, even partially. You close

00:26:16.720 that and the world screams at Washington, not Tehran, and they know that. They also know China

00:26:23.560 and Russia will backstop them, weapons, diplomatic cover, oil purchases, or so they think. Now,

00:26:30.580 Here's what they really see.

00:26:32.960 They believe their people will endure hardship under martyrdom narrative longer than the

00:26:39.040 Western public will tolerate high gas prices.

00:26:42.820 So this isn't, they don't have any real power in a military sense because they're way overmatched.

00:26:48.060 They're done.

00:26:49.480 Their power comes in time.

00:26:52.580 They believe time and pain on our side will win the war for them.

00:27:00.580 That's what's really happening here, okay?

00:27:04.160 When you look at all of this, you have to realize it's us that they see.

00:27:13.440 It is us.

00:27:15.120 That's why it is so incredibly critical to make sure that we are, we can argue amongst ourselves.

00:27:24.140 But when you go online, that is global now.

00:27:28.640 That's all global, okay?

00:27:30.400 so what do we do well we we listen to the warning that the fog of war is now amplified

00:27:40.320 tick tock x instagram everywhere mega voters especially don't let podcasters or party loyalty

00:27:50.500 you know march you into a team war don't wait just wait process the facts the iranian regime 0.72

00:28:00.920 is a civilizational threat it is it's rooted in this twelver eschatology that says the the 0.99

00:28:10.760 the antichrist they think it's coming from us we think it's coming from them the antichrist is

00:28:16.280 coming and they will hasten the return of all of that okay so process the facts know what they

00:28:23.160 actually believe and then stand up for us defending what is important to us

00:28:31.120 without becoming the world's policeman we don't need to be the world's policeman i don't want to

00:28:37.040 be the world's policeman i don't want to be in another war okay i don't but when you're playing

00:28:41.800 big stakes. Buck up, buck up. And I want to show you the numbers here in just a few minutes,

00:28:48.800 because those numbers are staggering on what they're facing. And then at the top of next hour,

00:28:54.600 I want to show you a bigger picture. I want you just to step back and go, wait a minute,

00:29:01.580 wait a minute. Let's stop thinking like podcasters. Let's stop thinking like CNN.

00:29:08.560 And let's stop thinking today, today, today.

00:29:14.120 I hate to say this, but can we stop thinking like McDonald's Americans for a while?

00:29:18.340 Let's actually step back and look at the bigger picture because it's already beginning to happen.

00:29:24.360 There is some facts here I want to give you.

00:29:29.620 And this came from Jesus Rojas.

00:29:34.100 uh he says hundreds of super tankers the kind that carry two million barrels each are currently

00:29:40.560 racing toward where do you think the u.s gulf coast from every direction the atlantic indian

00:29:50.240 ocean around africa iran closed the strait of harmuz everyone panicked oil hit 126 a barrel

00:29:57.040 gas hits four dollars a gallon cable news does a thing where they put the red banner on the screen

00:30:02.700 and they say crisis and everybody should start hoarding toilet paper.

00:30:07.360 And then something happened that nobody in the media

00:30:09.400 seemed interested in reporting for obvious reasons.

00:30:12.280 The world, did it just switch suppliers?

00:30:16.540 Like changing your internet provider,

00:30:19.060 except the internet provider is the entire global energy economy.

00:30:24.660 American oil exports are now approaching record levels.

00:30:28.240 Gulf Coast refineries are running at 95 percent capacity. Super tankers that were mid-ocean on their way to the Persian Gulf literally turned around and headed towards Texas. This is not a metaphor. Ship tracking data shows them doing U-turns in the Indian Ocean.

00:30:49.820 Meanwhile, in China, which is getting 45% of its oil imports through Hormuz

00:30:55.300 and paying basement prices for sanctioned Iranian crude,

00:30:58.400 is now competing with Japan and Europe for the same expensive American barrels.

00:31:02.380 Chinese manufacturers are already raising prices 20% on goods. 0.94

00:31:08.200 So to summarize, Iran has played its biggest card, 0.95

00:31:11.960 and the main result is that the United States has become the world's emergency gas station. 0.93

00:31:17.640 and China's cheap energy subsidy has evaporated.

00:31:22.860 Either that's the most elaborate coincidence

00:31:25.360 in the history of the world

00:31:26.880 or something good is working for America

00:31:30.240 and those who put America first.

00:31:33.520 You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck program

00:31:35.640 and you can find full episodes

00:32:15.540 with that sweet cccp smile placed an intern close stayed for a while on the intel committee guarding 0.64

00:33:10.860 Talking great potential while she played host

00:33:14.280 Ethics probe cleared, FBI briefing

00:33:17.340 I cooperated

00:33:18.600 Yet the second those files might see the light

00:33:21.000 He detonates poetic justice for the king of the Russia hunt

00:33:25.040 Got played by Beijing while calling everyone up front

00:33:28.580 He says it's Trump revenge, a desperate attack 0.62

00:33:32.000 But bro, you were the one who let her get that close on your back

00:33:36.860 Now the whole world's laughing at the Swalwell special 0.84

00:34:17.260 Don't bang, don't bang, don't bang, don't bang, bang, bang, bang.

00:34:20.340 That's right.

00:34:23.180 From Torch Tunes.

00:34:26.260 With one hand tied behind my back and half my mind lost from drugs long ago,

00:34:31.220 I don't even know. It's don't bang bang with fang fang, which those are all it's all alleged.

00:34:38.380 I mean, we have no idea. You know what? No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

00:34:41.880 If it wasn't for the great work from these, well, I would call them detectives, but they're they're just real dyed in the wool reporters.

00:34:54.680 These journalists who have taken every stone and turned it over and said, what is crawling underneath here? 0.80

00:35:01.440 And they found out, thank God, just in time that Eric Swalwell is a dirtbag. 0.53

00:35:08.040 And allegedly he has been a dirtbag with a lot of people for a very, very, very, very, very long time. 0.95

00:35:19.040 In fact, it's weird that more than 50 former staffers, more than 50 former staffers have claimed shocking sexual assault allegations against Eric Swalwell.

00:35:38.180 And now the media says that they are credible and serious.

00:35:41.700 50.

00:35:42.780 How did you keep that a secret?

00:35:45.600 Answer, it wasn't a secret.

00:35:47.180 Everybody knew.

00:35:49.040 Absolutely everybody knew.

00:35:50.640 The left knew, the press knew, but he was useful.

00:35:55.300 He was useful.

00:35:56.180 He could help them accomplish other goals.

00:35:58.000 And the minute he became not so useful, in fact, he was standing in the way,

00:36:03.480 as soon as he became number three in the California polls,

00:36:07.660 where number one and number two are two Republicans,

00:36:11.680 and then Eric Swalwell, they knew he can't win.

00:36:14.740 We got to get him out of there.

00:36:16.040 So immediately, oh, wait a minute, we should start listening and believing these women.

00:36:21.320 And now here is the absolute, I mean, look, the Lord does not make mistakes.

00:36:29.300 But I do believe once in a while, he might look, he might look at this guy at CNN and go, you know, maybe, I don't, maybe, listen to this.

00:36:46.040 yeah do you have it sarah or or jason you were just playing it

00:36:50.780 here it is play it please he has dramatic end of the weekend news in california and a real

00:36:58.040 testament to the power of investigative reporting eric swalwell ending his campaign for california

00:37:03.000 governor just about 48 hours after cnn and the san francisco chronicle both reported on

00:37:08.660 allegations of sexual misconduct in his past oh my gosh wow in his past and did it happen recently

00:37:15.400 no no it's been happening forever this is the only reason this is the only reason this is a

00:37:21.840 coordinated hit that's what this is no sympathy for eric swalwell he should have been taken out

00:37:27.700 a long time ago the truth was just hidden because the truth in media has an agenda and if you are on

00:37:35.880 the side of furthering that agenda you're fine you can be a monster what was it what's the guy's 0.75

00:37:44.100 that's running uh for the senate who has the ss tattoo on his chest you can be a monster and

00:37:52.060 they'll excuse you as long as you're furthering their agenda and they need you the minute they 0.51

00:37:58.060 don't need you you're toast and eric he just thinks he could stand up you know what was it

00:38:04.180 friday he's like i'm not going anywhere i'll tell you that right now really really you they will 0.82

00:38:10.780 destroy you they'll destroy your family they'll destroy everything and even it what's so crazy 0.78

00:38:18.380 about this eric is this stuff is true about you it's most likely absolutely true about you now

00:38:26.360 let's see it proven in a court of law but most likely the stuff they say about other people is

00:38:32.100 not true and they will use it to destroy so they think that if they have stuff that is true they

00:38:37.980 have 50 staffers 50 how did you none of these women none of them wanted to come out and say

00:38:45.340 anything come on 50 women no here's what happened somebody was like a you know he just sexually

00:38:53.520 assaulted me i know stand in line well we should say something no no i want you to talk to so and

00:39:00.200 so and then so and so from the dnc or whoever steps in is like look look let's just make this

00:39:06.720 with this that we understand this is really bad but you know we really need him right now you

00:39:12.740 don't want to be hurting the party you don't want to hurt that we're up against a nazi right now

00:39:17.520 we're up against donald trump and you know if you don't want to play along if you play along

00:39:23.080 there's all kinds of possibilities for you if you don't play along i mean nobody's going to believe

00:39:27.400 you who's going to believe you because they're not coming out well who's going to come out and

00:39:31.940 say anything and that is exactly what has happened it's exactly what has happened i i bet i can't

00:39:44.640 not one wanted to come out of course not they see what happens to women who stand up against 1.00

00:39:51.020 progressives who are in favor you're toast you're a slut you're a whore you're whatever you're a 1.00

00:39:58.460 liar your life is destroyed but now now that he has to be destroyed oh they'll believe you 1.00

00:40:06.000 we have to believe women am i wrong on any of this ricky jason disagree with any of this i'll 0.68

00:40:13.260 tell you glenn i i have not heard journalisming done this hardcore since jake tapper broke that

00:40:20.620 amazing book that it was you know the rumor is joe biden wasn't fully cognitively there

00:40:25.880 that i mean journalism is on a roll this is crazy oh my gosh oh my gosh yeah yeah it's i mean

00:40:33.680 this is journalism to then it was funny that um on i think it was on it was on friday

00:40:40.840 all of a sudden and all of this really started coming out once swalwell was really digging his

00:40:46.440 heels in and saying i'm not going anywhere you know i'm still running all of a sudden you get

00:40:50.740 Politico report talking about how multiple people were starting to back out of Eric Swalwell's

00:40:57.500 campaign. Then, like clockwork, not too long after that, there was a message from the California

00:41:03.560 Teachers Association, which I'm sure are a very conservative group, like the most conservative

00:41:10.340 of all groups. The California Teachers Association said the allegations are incredibly disturbing and

00:41:16.960 unacceptable immediately suspending their report then like clockwork cnn also four women described

00:41:24.480 sexual misconduct by eric swanwell including a former staffer who says he raped her but none of

00:41:30.100 this was ever you know even on the radar of being reported it was all just kind of getting i guess

00:41:36.180 saved yeah let me ask you this one listen to the story one one of the women former staffer claimed

00:41:43.400 he raped her when she was drunk and left her bruised and bleeding during an alleged 2024

00:41:49.260 attack in New York. The Manhattan DA has now launched an investigation. Another woman alleged 0.68

00:41:55.960 she also awoke next to him in a hotel room after a drunken night out, adding he allegedly kissed

00:42:02.220 her and touched her without consent, touched her leg without consent. How do you get to a rape 1.00

00:42:09.880 accusation, if 1.00

00:42:11.680 50 women have been saying

00:42:13.920 sexual assault, sexual 0.99

00:42:15.340 inappropriate behavior,

00:42:17.760 50 women have said that. 1.00

00:42:19.820 That's because you said nothing 1.00

00:42:22.060 and this guy starts

00:42:23.840 to think, I can get away with anything.

00:42:26.640 Once you

00:42:27.240 say your politics are more important

00:42:29.860 than our principles, you train

00:42:31.820 him, I am invincible.

00:42:33.820 Don't you know who I am? Don't you

00:42:35.840 know I could rape you and no 1.00

00:42:37.760 one's going to listen. 1.00

00:42:39.880 that's the monster, that's the monster the left creates every single time.

00:42:48.380 That's the monster that is created when you don't have equal justice under the law.

00:42:53.180 And I'd be saying this if it was a Republican.

00:42:55.840 If it was a Republican that was doing this, I'd be saying exactly the same thing.

00:43:01.040 You must tell people immediately and prosecute these people

00:43:07.060 because you will create monsters.

00:43:11.440 It's the only reason you can't have 50 allegations

00:43:14.420 and then expect him not to rape.

00:43:19.760 Of course, he thinks he can get away with anything

00:43:21.800 because nobody's going to say anything.

00:43:23.660 This machine will keep you quiet.

00:43:26.160 What's amazing is he thought he could keep going up the ladder.

00:43:29.880 And then when they said, hey, you're actually hurting us in California,

00:43:33.780 that he thought he could betray them.

00:43:36.260 like he didn't know that that's how arrogant and how monstrous his ego has gotten he's so out of

00:43:42.340 control that he thought it was him and not the system that was keeping him propped up

00:43:47.600 it's nuts yeah i and i was suspiciously quiet quiet ricky well you know i'm just over here

00:43:57.460 by myself in florida i was just gonna say he he sounds like a monster but um i'm a little bit

00:44:02.940 worried about the next gal who's waiting in the wings in the Democrat primary in 0.91

00:44:06.540 California Katie Porter she has allegedly poured boiling hot water on her 0.99

00:44:13.620 husband's head and we've seen her yell at her staffers like what kind of people

00:44:18.780 are is this party producing our next best hope in California is Tom Steyer

00:44:25.140 who's destroyed that state with all the environmental regulations and look we

00:44:50.140 democrats a better chance um i don't know how much time we have before the break but there is

00:44:53.940 breaking news that president trump has deleted the jesus post so this is probably because you

00:45:00.480 You texted him, I'm sure that's why that happened.
