Summary
Airstrike kills Iranian general and deputy commander of Iran's elite Quds Force, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandiz, in response to an attack on a U.S. military base in Iraq. Iran says the attack was in retaliation for an earlier strike on an Iranian military base.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
Iraqi TV and three Iraqi officials said that General Qasim Soleimani, head of Iran's elite
00:00:22.540
Quds Force, has been killed in an airstrike at Baghdad's international airport.
00:00:27.840
The official said the strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandiz, the deputy commander of
00:00:35.420
Iran-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces.
00:00:40.580
So those two very influential, big officials in Iran are gone.
00:00:49.900
Their deaths are probably going to spark some chaos, I would guess.
00:00:58.460
You know, it does seem that way, and Iran has, you know, pretty much said as much.
00:01:03.580
But, look, we, you know, we killed these two men from Iran in response in Iraq, another country.
00:01:18.040
Well, what they were doing there was the general was planning attacks against U.S. forces.
00:01:33.180
So, President Trump's take on this is he should have been taken out many years ago.
00:01:42.180
So we'll see what they have, you know, what they're going to do about it.
00:01:49.560
Do you just keep taking it and taking it and taking it?
00:01:52.340
Or do you finally put a stop to it as President Trump has tried to do here?
00:02:10.400
It does seem like this has escalated things, though, again.
00:02:13.780
And that's at a time when we were talking about getting out.
00:02:18.600
It's time to actually pull out the remaining forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.
00:02:23.500
And after 18 years, who can be opposed to that?
00:02:29.660
Maybe, you know, maybe there are people who are opposed to that.
00:02:37.820
But now, you can't just up and leave now because things are going to get a little more dicey over there.
00:02:43.900
And so, they're talking about putting thousands of extra forces in there now.
00:02:51.260
Didn't I hear another 4,000 are being prepped to maybe go back in?
00:02:58.000
And that's probably prudent because, you know, you can expect some sort of retaliation effort on the part of Iran.
00:03:04.640
You know, so all the countries that make up the U.N. Security Council are all yelling about it.
00:03:15.480
None of them, I don't know that any of them support it.
00:03:32.220
So, get your crap out of it, load it onto a cargo plane, and get out.
00:03:41.840
And if there's a president who would do it, it's this one.
00:03:45.020
There's nothing I want more than to have Donald Trump say, you know what?
00:03:49.500
And what I've done is I've rented U-Hauls and just have them rode up on the front of the U.N.
00:03:57.560
I don't want to see a single diplomat here in that building and left.
00:04:05.900
And just to rub salt in everybody's wound, it's going to be Trump condos.
00:04:20.040
You know, headquarter the U.N. in Belgium like every other one-world government organization.
00:04:37.440
The U.S. and Israel receive nothing but condemnation.
00:04:40.900
And we're the only two countries in the world who care about human rights, anybody's rights.
00:04:46.260
And we just get slapped around for it all the time, backstabbed all the time.
00:05:14.820
First of all, who was it that was talking about the fact?
00:05:21.020
Beto O'Rourke was talking about the fact that Texas is only nine seats away from Democrat control in the legislature.
00:05:28.540
Besides that, there just seems to be a feeling and a force in Texas that is pushing us towards being a blue state.
00:05:38.100
It's turning a little bit purple, people believe.
00:05:49.580
If Texas goes blue, if Texas goes to Democrats, Republicans won't win national elections.
00:05:58.000
It's the most populous conservative state in the country by far.
00:06:02.700
That's a fight we need to have because, I mean, the thought of, ah, that could never happen in Texas.
00:06:13.020
A year ago, year and a half ago, I would have been right there with everybody else.
00:06:21.520
I mean, all the major metropolitan areas all are.
00:06:34.080
But San Antonio, you know, El Paso, they're they're all Democrat.
00:06:38.500
And then in the suburbs, you still we still got Republican control of the suburbs.
00:06:43.040
But even that the Republicans are loosening their grip on that.
00:06:46.540
And the problem is, is that we're allowing people from other states to move here.
00:06:50.400
And I don't know if you know this bad or not, but and I just this was just broke right now.
00:07:03.420
Maybe the wall we should be worried about is the one between us and California.
00:07:09.640
I mean, people look, that's what happens to a number of states and a number of cities
00:07:14.100
and a number of places, you know, all over the country.
00:07:18.980
And instead of realizing that, hey, maybe we need to, you know, rethink the way we did
00:07:23.540
things before, because that's why we had to move.
00:07:25.700
No, they fall right back into the same thought and process of, yeah, it'd be just like we
00:07:33.820
It just doesn't make any sense that you would leave California because California sucks.
00:07:39.320
And then you would come to Texas and try to make it California.
00:07:46.880
Californians have gone to Oregon, Washington, and tried to turn those.
00:07:53.200
They've gone to Boise, Idaho, and they're turning that into California.
00:07:59.040
It just, I mean, stop infecting these states with your liberalism, please, by all that is
00:08:04.400
But that's what gives the feel that Texas is closer than I think it is flipping.
00:08:19.460
And if we do give up, then you'll see some changes.
00:08:27.840
It's a time for renewed vigor and renewed effort.

Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $100,000 in the Sandy Hook case.
00:09:25.300
Some of the parents, of course, in that tragic event took real exception to that.
00:09:30.460
He was being sued for defamation in Austin by the parents of a six-year-old who was among the 26 people killed in the Newtown, Connecticut attack.
00:09:45.020
State District Judge Scott Jenkins ruled that Jones and his defense team intentionally disregarded an earlier order to provide witnesses to attorneys representing the Sandy Hook father who brought the lawsuit.
00:10:00.860
Jones also denied – Jenkins also denied Jones' request to dismiss the lawsuit.
00:10:05.860
I mean, here's what he said that they took issue with.
00:10:11.020
They have staged events before, but then you learn the school had been closed and reopened, and you got video of the kids going in circles in and out of the building, and they don't call the rescue choppers for two hours.
00:10:22.400
And then they tear the building down and seal it, and they get caught using blue screens, and an email by Bloomberg comes out in a lawsuit where he's telling his people, get ready in the next 24 hours to capitalize on a shooting.
00:10:36.620
Yeah, so Sandy Hook is a synthetic, completely fake, with actors, in my view, manufactured.
00:10:47.440
I knew they had actors there, clearly, but I thought they killed some real kids.
00:10:50.900
And it just shows how bold they are that they clearly used actors.
00:10:56.640
I mean, they even ended up using photos of kids killed in mass shootings here in a fake mass shooting in Turkey.
00:11:09.580
Walking in circles, demolition of the building.
00:11:24.340
Which, of course, no, they didn't have actors there.
00:11:28.160
And I don't know where any of that stuff came from, but so that cost him $100,000.
00:11:33.440
Uh, but, uh, I, I don't know that he's, I think he's changed his tune a little bit on Sandy Hook now.
00:11:39.660
I think he, I think he now, I think he now admits it was an actual event.
00:11:45.660
And then it was just a, it was just a show that he was doing.
00:11:49.180
Well, it used to be he denied ever saying what you just heard.
00:12:08.080
And, uh, and we heard him when he said all of this.
00:12:27.800
Folks, we gotta, we gotta get good people to stand up against these people.
00:12:41.360
I probably shouldn't even have done this radio show today.
00:12:50.380
For how I just hate the globalists, but it's more than that.
00:12:53.540
And I got, I just get flippant and angry, but it's because deep down folks, I can see what
00:12:59.120
And I, uh, we have a responsibility to stop these globalists.
00:13:10.600
We just offer our children up to the system with the fluoride and the water and the GMO
00:13:16.000
And we let fat perverts grab them at the airport to train them for the pedophile government.
00:13:29.860
I'd forgotten how a lot of stuff there was there.
00:13:35.760
I don't even know where you started in that if you wanted to dissect it, uh, cause there's
00:13:50.340
They've all been poisoned by fluoride, I think.
00:14:13.700
And by the way, he should not be taken off of Twitter and all the platforms that he was
00:14:21.880
I don't know how I feel about him being fined for the Sandy Hook stuff.
00:14:30.400
I mean, it's, I know he was saying, you know, the stuff that nobody really liked or believed,
00:14:40.360
What you have to believe is that it rose to the level of defamation.
00:14:45.060
That these people who were in this tragic, tragic situation were just doing it with actors
00:15:02.700
You know, he's not just going to say, okay, here's a hundred thousand dollars.
00:15:05.620
Obviously you're going to, you're going to appeal that to the, to a higher court and we'll
00:15:09.840
see, we'll keep an eye on it and see where that goes.
00:15:13.360
I mean, it's ridiculous that he doesn't have any platforms to broadcast on or do you know,
00:15:24.540
This is what ticks me off about the, about the, about the social media stuff is that, you
00:15:29.160
know, I know that you have your algorithms and you're, you know, you're doing it for
00:15:32.240
my good and letting me see what you think I should see because you've decided that this
00:15:45.500
It's progressives who know better than the rest of us and what we, what we can consume
00:15:55.240
I can decide whether I buy into Jones and info wars and all that stuff.
00:15:58.900
I already have decided on my social media site, who I follow, who I like, what I do.
00:16:04.780
And you can also say, and we, we've done this in the past.
00:16:07.640
We've talked about this before, but you can also say, well, they're private businesses.
00:16:11.260
They can decide who's on their platform and who's not.
00:16:15.980
Because they haven't made, they have made an agreement with the government that they
00:16:26.440
And if they're not, if they're not done biased, they can be held accountable for what's on
00:16:34.140
Right now they're having it both ways and they are biased.
00:16:37.440
They're not kicking anybody in the left off of their platforms.
00:16:40.080
Just people like Alex Jones, uh, Michelle Malkin, you know, whoever they decide has done something
00:16:47.460
really evil that they don't like, and they just boot them off.
00:16:50.260
Well, that's nonsense and it shouldn't be happening.
00:16:53.520
You should allow them their free speech and let us decide what we'll consume and what we
00:17:01.200
If I don't want to listen to InfoWars or read their stuff, I just don't.
00:17:07.980
When something is linked on Drudge and it goes to InfoWars stories, I just click off of it.
00:17:13.780
And look, a lot of times, you know, it's their algorithms that set you up.
00:17:17.640
You know, they've got the algorithm set up for, you know, for your safety and for, for
00:17:23.200
I mean, you know, and it works so well because, uh, my wife posted a picture of her mixer making
00:17:31.540
cookies, uh, in the kitchen going around and around and around, um, Instagram and Sony
00:17:37.980
decided that that could possibly be something that's owned by them, uh, musically.
00:17:43.300
So they blocked that, uh, post what now she could argue that she could argue that they
00:17:48.820
could say musically, they could argue that and say, Hey, um, we disagree.
00:17:54.880
And that post should be up, which you have, you know, up until they have up until seven
00:18:11.580
And what was it supposed to musically infringe on whatever sound it was making?
00:18:16.140
Again, the algorithm said, Ooh, that's something that could be illegal music.
00:18:46.140
Uh, we've been talking about this infant who's 11 months old at cook, uh, children's medical
00:18:58.900
And a judge has just ruled that, uh, the baby's life support can be turned off against the parents
00:19:09.160
Uh, and, and the medical personnel have said, nah, there's no reason for it.
00:19:17.960
I don't know where you draw that line or what I, I don't, I mean, I, well, to me, you draw
00:19:22.400
the line with, you know, I'm the parent and we've got to, yeah, the parents decide, right.
00:19:28.320
Um, uh, let's, let's go to, uh, Ron in New Mexico.
00:19:31.680
Hey, Ron, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.
00:19:39.380
So, I mean, I completely support the family wanting to keep their child alive, but I also
00:19:43.660
don't think that they have the right to subjugate their, uh, their wishes onto the hospital.
00:19:49.160
I mean, the hospital, maybe if they don't want to be, uh, involved in continuing something
00:19:54.920
that they see as being unethical, they shouldn't be forced to.
00:19:59.400
Well, uh, you're talking about the life of a person though.
00:20:06.020
Isn't that, isn't it kind of ethic, unethical to, to give up a treatment when the, when the
00:20:11.120
family's wishes are that the, you keep the patient alive.
00:20:15.160
I mean, I support them moving the child to another hospital.
00:20:21.080
Like you wanted, uh, the hospital to perform a sex change on an eight year old.
00:20:25.960
Well, are you going to then force the hospital to do what you want just because it's what you
00:20:31.260
No, but that's not a, that's not a life and death matter for one thing.
00:20:36.720
Well, that's what the, the trans people would say is that it is.
00:20:44.700
But, uh, according to one of the articles I read, uh, the child has a heart defect,
00:20:50.700
high blood pressure, and a chronic lung condition.
00:20:58.360
The possibility of an actual recovery is pretty low.
00:21:01.780
And for them, it seems like we're just doing stuff to her.
00:21:04.240
We're not really improving her overall condition.
00:21:06.940
And they do, they do claim, they do claim the baby's in pain as well.
00:21:18.600
Um, you know, we, we had another situation sort of like this, uh, uh, was it a year or
00:21:24.320
two ago where there was a hospital, uh, that wanted to deny treatment to an ailing patient
00:21:38.080
There've been so many of these stories together, but they do blend together, but there was an
00:21:42.700
alternative hospital and they, they had somebody who was going to give them care and the
00:21:47.200
hospital wouldn't even let them move the patient because they made their decision.
00:21:52.900
We're turning off the, we're shutting in, we're shutting down life support.
00:21:56.340
Well, no, I've got somebody who will treat them.
00:22:00.900
And so I don't know if that's the case, uh, with this baby.
00:22:05.180
If there's a hospital that they could transfer the baby to, then yeah, you should probably
00:22:12.040
Uh, you know, they said that they, you know, they said that they checked with 19 other
00:22:17.040
hospitals, all agreeing with the same diagnosis or the 19 hospitals in this area or were they
00:22:40.460
It's hard to take that decision away from the parents.
00:22:44.180
It sure is because we're told all the time that, uh, somebody knows better than, than
00:22:52.540
Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Mike Bloomberg, uh, Bill de Blasio.
00:22:57.360
Oh, they all, they all, we don't even know how to eat according to those progressives.
00:23:09.520
We're not capable of making decisions like this.
00:23:12.500
We understand you as a lowly, dumb human, want your child to live forever.
00:23:27.480
And when it's your child, of course, you don't want that to happen and you do anything to
00:23:36.180
And, and, and in some cases it might be unreasonable.
00:23:38.480
There might be no way for this baby to survive.
00:23:42.060
Um, but if they have the means, I think my answer to that would be so.
00:23:50.120
And I don't know, because this story, the story that we read, it doesn't say anything
00:23:56.980
Doesn't say whether they can afford it or they can't, whether they're paying their bills
00:24:07.600
That the hospital has now decided, well, you know, we take care of your patient, but you
00:24:13.800
I mean, there's, there's that argument as well, because people do.
00:24:18.940
Uh, who are able to afford better care, those evil rich people, uh, that are able to afford
00:24:30.620
The line is, you, you get the best that you can.
00:24:33.640
All I know is those people shouldn't exist because they're evil.
00:24:37.080
Those people with lots of money who can't afford all this stuff.
00:24:41.340
I didn't, I didn't want to say it, but I'm glad you did.
00:24:45.920
I mean, we've, if there's one thing we've learned from Democrats, it's that wealthy
00:24:50.080
people are evil and they should be shunned and they should be shamed and they shouldn't
00:25:01.780
And they should perhaps go to prison for the rest of their lives.
00:25:22.380
After you've given us everything you have, then you can work for the next 10 years and
00:25:38.280
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:25:43.900
You got some good news on the impossible burger front, huh?
00:26:05.580
The meatless burger that tastes just like meat, pretty much, it seems.
00:26:11.760
I mean, we, we heard, uh, we heard late last year, since we were in early, uh, 2020, that,
00:26:26.860
We know that the impossible whopper has 25 grams of protein.
00:26:30.220
The whopper has 28 grams, so it's darn near, darn near the same.
00:26:37.940
But we also know, according to, uh, this particular doctor, that, uh, it has a high amount of estrogen
00:26:48.020
The impossible whopper has 44 mg of estrogen, 44 milligrams.
00:26:56.720
It sounds, I don't know if that's a lot, but I don't know, but he said the whopper has
00:27:14.420
So that means that the impossible whopper, according to this doctor's math, has 18 million
00:27:32.580
According to this story now, six glasses of soy milk per day has enough estrogen for you
00:27:43.880
So, I don't know, you know, maybe you eat three or four impossible breasts.
00:27:47.220
Wait, how long, how long would I have to drink six glasses of soy milk before I grow breasts?
00:27:57.360
It doesn't, I mean, six glasses a day for 10 years, four years.
00:28:06.480
I've heard things about soy before where, yeah, there's something going on there.
00:28:12.740
I mean, that's, you know, I'm an example of that.
00:28:37.940
There have been some really ugly things coming out about this impossible burger lately.
00:28:40.860
Like you said, just a few weeks ago, they were talking about the dog food similarity because the ingredients are very similar to dog food.
00:28:49.960
Now, they're saying that you're getting high doses of estrogen every time you eat the thing?
00:28:54.080
It sounds, as you say, high dosages, 18 million times more than the Whopper itself.
00:29:01.820
That's, I mean, these two, I'm not even going to take the chance now.
00:29:05.800
And you have to specifically ask for it to be microwaved or they're just going to cook it on the grill that they're cooking the beef on, right?
00:29:15.060
I mean, your point of having the Impossible Burger is to not have beef.
00:29:21.660
But do you want dog food and breasts and to have it cooked where meat?
00:29:38.720
I'm sure if Stu were here, he would poo-poo this.
00:29:43.820
And then you'd have to say, well, take off your shirt.
00:29:50.040
Let's see what the Whoppers does and what the Impossible Burger has done, okay?
