00:00:14.820 Today on the podcast, it's a podcast for adults.
00:00:18.920 You have to put on your thinking cap and actually listen and look at things from a different point of view.
00:00:26.600 A lot of people are saying that Donald Trump was duped by the Israelis.
00:00:32.200 I don't think so.
00:00:33.980 We're fighting Israel's war.
00:00:35.900 Again, I don't think so.
00:00:38.740 I think Donald Trump is fighting his view, his war, to try to change the world and get us out of the movies.
00:00:49.140 I'm going to give you an opinion.
00:00:51.060 It's not based on any fact.
00:00:52.460 It's just looking at what Donald Trump has been saying about the attacks with Israel, especially today.
00:00:59.920 Is he playing a different game?
00:01:01.900 Was he not duped?
00:01:04.860 But did he choose to get in to be able to shape this war?
00:01:10.280 Listen to this theory.
00:01:11.720 Also, Liz Wheeler joins us to discuss Joe Kent's claims on why we went to war with Iran.
00:01:16.620 And Senator Tuberville has made some comments about radical Islam, and he is super, super clear.
00:01:25.100 And you should hear it, especially today, as we do our special at 8 p.m. tonight, 8 p.m. Eastern Time at glenbeck.com slash torch.
00:01:33.460 It's the blueprint of our own destruction.
00:01:35.780 You don't want to miss it tonight, only at glenbeck.com slash torch.
00:01:41.120 First, let me tell you about American financing.
00:01:43.040 Remember when you first got your credit cards?
00:01:44.620 remember telling yourself i'm never gonna let these get out of hand yeah then life happened uh
00:01:50.900 it's never one big dramatic moment it's a little here a little there you know inflation goes up
00:01:55.640 and you're like i gotta use my credit card for this something you don't plan for uh and then
00:02:00.360 the balance gets unmanageable because the interest rates just keep going up and up and now you're
00:02:05.340 paying 20 25 interest that you'll never get out from underneath that you need somebody to help
00:02:10.340 you do that and if you're a homeowner american financing can help they will work with you to
00:02:14.480 consolidate high interest debt into one loan, potentially lowering your monthly payment and
00:02:19.060 helping you actually make progress instead of just treading water. If you're not moving,
00:02:24.360 you're moving numbers around. Give yourself a real plan, one that's built around you.
00:02:29.340 I want you to go to AmericanFinancing.net, AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440,
00:02:35.200 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net. Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every

00:03:33.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:37.760 Coach Tupperbill, how are you, sir?
00:03:39.580 Morning, Glenn. How's it going?
00:03:40.960 It is great.
00:03:42.640 The enemy is inside the gates.
00:03:44.660 When you did that, I agree with you.
00:03:46.640 Did you have any idea what this would turn into?
00:03:49.640 No, I really didn't.
00:03:50.920 You know, I've been speaking on the Senate floor for the past four or five months
00:03:53.920 about the cancer that's inside our country.
00:03:57.100 And this mendamy is just making it worse and worse.
00:04:00.120 And, you know, it's been 25 years since 9-11.
00:04:04.780 We all remember that horrific day and who is responsible for that.
00:04:09.340 And now we've got somebody that he doesn't think really anything happened back at that time.
00:04:15.360 And he's going to ruin one of the top cities, not just in our country, but the world, because he wants the Islam to take over New York City.
00:04:24.820 So, Glenn, I love this country and I've got young kids and grandkids.
00:04:28.980 And I tell you what, I'm going to fight it to the end because they are trying to take this country over just like they did Europe.
00:04:36.160 And it's time for not just me to fight back or you to fight.
00:04:39.520 It's for the entire world that loves this country to fight back.
00:04:43.240 You dulled down a few days later.
00:04:46.660 You said radical Islam is not a race or a religion.
00:04:49.820 It's a death cult.
00:04:51.160 100% true.
00:04:52.520 What used to be common sense is now considered racist.
00:04:55.700 100% true.
00:04:56.560 deport every islamic terrorist 100 true but the question is how how do we do that
00:05:05.420 when we catch them in the act or what do we do well yeah people have to be educated on what's
00:05:13.640 going on i don't i think there's so many things going on and we have such a great country
00:05:17.840 sometimes people just try to you know i don't want to get involved in that you know i want to
00:05:22.420 live my life and i and i agree with that to some point but when people are inside the gates are
00:05:28.720 here they're in our communities they're walking our streets they're running for public office
00:05:34.640 folks we need to wake up because there's five million muslims in this country and i want to say
00:05:40.780 this i've got some muslim friends and i i talk to them regularly but they do not they do not
00:05:48.360 study sharia law or worship the quran they are more of a christian belief or they are atheists
00:05:57.660 they don't they don't go by the death cult that is taught by sharia law and the quran and if you
00:06:04.860 want to assimilate here and make this country better hell i'm all for you and and that's what
00:06:09.240 this country is made on but do not come here and try to change our culture our way of life uh you
00:06:15.460 know they said well it's freedom of religion no it isn't because they believe in killing everybody
00:06:20.560 else's religion in this country if you believe if you're a baptist or you're a catholic or your
00:06:25.880 church of christ or methodist they want you dead and so to me is that is that freedom of religion
00:06:31.760 hell no it's not and so it's time to fight back i will tell you if there was a christian religion
00:06:38.180 that was preaching kill everybody else of other faith i think we'd all be clear on that i think
00:06:43.000 we would have stopped it immediately we would not let it just start coming into our schools and to
00:06:48.800 our communities and um and taking over our communities like we have in Dearborn and a
00:06:54.900 whole buttload of other places it's all over um the west and you're right what what's happening
00:07:02.080 in Europe I I don't know your thoughts on this but I think I don't think Europe can rebound from
00:07:07.900 this um you know maybe england but it's going to be really ugly and the longer we wait here the more
00:07:15.020 time we say ah it's not really a problem i'll deal with that later ah it's the the later it
00:07:21.540 becomes for us and the harder it's going to be to save the nation and that's what they want glenn
00:07:27.520 they want you to kick the can down the road to think this is not happening but they're slowly
00:07:31.320 moving into power in this country we've got some some uh people that are absolute morons in the
00:07:38.740 in the house that believe that this is a bad country and it we should change it to something
00:07:45.460 else and guess what that's not going to happen not on your watch or my watch we're going to fight it
00:07:50.520 but at the end of the day if you believe in having four or five wives if you believe in selling your
00:07:56.880 six or seven eight-year-old daughter to somebody and have them married off at that young of age
00:08:02.660 you got some kind of problem and it's not going to work here i'm telling you it is not if you
00:08:07.840 you have got to make this country better and they're making it worse every day and so people
00:08:13.360 need to start understanding it is not going away obama and biden brought them in here by the
00:08:18.780 hundreds of thousands unvetted they're stealing us blind they're going to live off the taxpayers
00:08:24.840 were broke as it is, and we'd need them gone as soon as possible. President Trump's trying to do
00:08:31.500 it, but how do you run that many people out of a country? It's very, very hard.
00:08:36.000 You say, another tweet of yours, wake up, they want every single freedom-loving Christian and
00:08:40.920 Jew dead. I will not back down. You're old enough to know what that means. I will not back down.
00:08:48.860 We're not dealing with simple politics here, and you're not dealing with a foreign threat
00:08:55.440 that is an ocean away.
00:08:59.700 Yeah, well, chapter 8, verse 12 of the Quran says, Allah will instill fear in the heart
00:09:05.460 of those who disbelieve, therefore strike them upon the neck.
00:09:09.900 Fight non-Muslims until the faith of Allah is fully established.
00:09:14.460 Folks are coming, okay?
00:09:16.060 You've got other problems and you've got families and you've got a job and all that.
00:09:20.160 It just needs to be in the back of your mind.
00:09:22.400 They are going to try to take over your kids' and your grandkids' country.
00:09:26.800 And we have to talk about it now when it's starting to grow because, as you said earlier, Glenn, England, France, Germany,
00:09:36.700 all these European countries are going to have to fight on the streets to get their country back.
00:09:41.840 Their kids are going to have to fight to the death to get their country back.
00:09:45.820 because it is that far gone and it can't happen in this country and so that's reason we start now
00:09:51.600 when the tree is starting to grow uh we see all these muslim mayors being uh you know elected all
00:09:58.840 over the country texas has 300 to 400 mosques and these are not churches these are organizational
00:10:06.480 places where people can indoctrinate teach and bring kids to a point where they believe in this
00:10:13.640 nonsense of hate all non-Muslims. Let me switch, kind of, because I think the same people who
00:10:22.280 are allowing this are the same people fighting in the Senate against the SAVE Act.
00:10:26.840 83% of Americans support it, 71% of Democrats, and we've got Republicans,
00:10:34.860 i i don't even know what their ration or reason is other than i'm lazy or i have some other
00:10:44.400 desire that keeps power on my side by not pushing this i can't think of any good reason why this is
00:10:51.860 not uh happening the way it needs to happen with a standing filibuster where do we stand on the
00:10:59.100 Save America Act, and what do you see coming? It's not good. It's really not good. The thing
00:11:08.500 that I was with President Trump yesterday for a day and traveled with him to Delaware, and we
00:11:13.280 brought back some young people that had lost their lives, one from Alabama, and that's the reason I
00:11:17.680 was with him yesterday. We talked. We all, there's four or five senators. Mike Johnson was with us,
00:11:22.940 And we talked about it. And, you know, the one area that I think most people in the Republican side disagree with President Trump on this is the mail in ballots.
00:11:32.360 And I understand that to a degree, because we have even in Alabama, we have people that are 30, 40 minutes away from a polling station.
00:11:39.060 We have farmers. We have Montana, Wyoming. You have Alaska that that people are not close to polling places.
00:11:46.680 So they need mail-in ballots. So as President Trump said, hey, I can I can give in on that to a certain degree, but I'm not giving in on photo ID, which I totally agree with.
00:11:57.040 I'm not going to give in on a citizenship, proof of citizenship. And I totally agree with that. And they do, too.
00:12:02.760 So I think we can pick a few votes up maybe with going that route. But again, you know, we have senators stand up to the tradition of of the Senate.
00:12:13.160 And I want to stand with the tradition of the Senate.
00:12:15.900 And as I tell them, I don't work for the Senate.
00:12:18.580 I work with people of Alabama, people of this country.
00:12:21.400 If it takes us busting a damn filibuster, let's go, because they're going to do it the first days when they take over.
00:12:26.820 And it's going to be over for all of us.
00:12:28.600 And as President Trump said, this is this is the final stand here for for true Americans in this country to continue to keep hold of the country that they love.
00:12:38.260 And so we can't be hardheaded enough to think that they're not going to do it.
00:12:42.360 And if we want to get anything done, Glenn, we've only got one thing done since President Trump's been in.
00:12:47.720 That's the one big, beautiful bill.
00:12:49.100 And it took 18 hours, 18 hours on the Senate floor, nonstop, to finally convince 51 Republicans, no Democrats, 51 Republicans to vote for it.
00:13:02.480 And so you think today, I'll tell you, it's not going to pass.
00:13:07.440 We don't have the votes.
00:13:08.560 Now, things are going to have to change.
00:13:10.020 we're going to have to have an adjustment or two on some things on the bill but again it scares me
00:13:17.580 to death because 15 states you can count them up 15 states in this country are going to cheat the
00:13:22.480 hell out of us every year because they're ran by blue mayors and governors okay they it's rampant
00:13:28.180 so that leaves you 35 states that you got to win and uh it's hard to do that and president trump
00:13:35.620 As I tell everybody, folks, President Trump got union workers.
00:13:40.360 He got a lot of minorities.
00:13:42.060 He won by he won 77 million votes.
00:13:45.340 But 77 million votes didn't come from Republicans.
00:13:49.520 They come from Americans.
00:13:51.480 They come from Americans.
00:13:53.980 Wake up and smell the roses.
00:13:55.600 This is not a Democrat Republican deal.
00:13:57.660 This is an American issue that we have to solve.
00:14:00.940 And if we don't do it, we're getting ready to get our ass beat.
00:14:03.980 Can I ask, and I think I know the answer, but why are you leaving the Senate going to run the state and become governor?
00:14:15.260 You know, up here, Glenn, the way they have the rules set up, you've got to be up here forever to get any kind of chairmanship, to have any kind of power.
00:14:24.400 We don't do it by merit, which is what I disagree with.
00:14:27.200 And I disagree with just because you've been up here 21 years means you get to be a committee chair.
00:14:34.700 And if you did away with with that point and just say, listen, you've got to be qualified, you know, to be the education chair or the health care chair or over armed services.
00:14:46.980 You know, I wouldn't be a good chair on armed service.
00:14:48.900 I've never in the military.
00:14:49.880 Now, I love the country. My dad was in the military. But you put people in charge of something because of what you know and the good things you can do. You wouldn't put an offensive guard just because he's been five years on your football team at quarterback just because he had more seniority because you never win a damn game. Well, that's what happens here. Everybody says, you need term limits. No, you don't. You need to do things on merit.
00:15:15.040 And if you did it that way, you'd have a lot of these people up here going, hell, I ain't never going to have any power up here, so why would I stay?
00:15:22.160 That's the reason they stay so long, is to get power.
00:15:25.500 And you look around at some of these chairmen we've got going, how in the hell did they get a chairmanship?
00:15:31.360 It's because of seniority and not merit.
00:15:36.440 Well, Senator, I'm glad you're there while you're there.
00:15:40.340 And I wish you best of luck in Alabama on your drive to become the governor.
00:15:46.700 We need great, strong, very clear governors because I don't know what's going to happen to our country nationwide in Washington, D.C.
00:15:57.900 But if we can get good, strong governors in as many states as possible, at least the republic can last in certain areas, state by state.
00:16:09.080 We'll take it that way.
00:16:10.340 Thank you so much, Senator.
00:16:12.240 Thank you, Glenn.
00:16:13.060 And that is the last stand for this country of strong governors,
00:16:16.800 and that's one of the reasons I'm running,
00:16:18.160 because you can protect your people in your country from that area
00:16:21.140 more than you can a senator.
00:16:22.960 If people want to get a hold of you and get a hold of your campaign
00:16:26.320 and find out or help, how can they do that?
00:16:28.980 Do you have a website?
00:16:30.700 Yeah, it's either at Senator Tuberville or at Coach for Gov.
00:16:34.820 Okay, good.
00:16:36.160 Thanks, Coach.
00:16:36.840 Appreciate it.
00:16:37.920 God bless.
00:16:38.360 Thank you, Glenn.
00:16:38.920 God bless.
00:16:39.620 Thank you.
00:16:40.340 war affects supply chains and right now one of the most important shipping routes in the world
00:16:46.780 the Strait of Hormuz along Iran's southern border is under massive strain about 20 percent of the
00:16:53.320 world's oil passes through it and when conflicts in that region happen it is effectively closed
00:16:59.820 right now consequences will ripple out fast air freight costs have already soared by as much as
00:17:05.220 400%. Some shipping routes now require detours that add close to a million dollars to a single
00:17:11.040 voyage and those costs are passed right along to you. Experts are warning that this could escalate
00:17:16.100 before it even starts to settle down. What happens the next time you need a prescription and the

00:17:44.600 to the best of the Glenn Beck Program. I'm going to get into some of the things that happened,
00:17:51.940 but did you see how Donald Trump yesterday came out and he tweeted, stop it, Israel. Bad Israel,
00:18:00.600 Stop. Israel is being reckless right now. The oil refineries that they were hitting, the oil
00:18:09.760 structure that they're hitting, that's not helpful, Israel, who said that last week. Why are they
00:18:14.840 doing that? As I was thinking this through yesterday, it occurred to me, and I went and I
00:18:22.600 did some homework, has this ever happened in history before? And yes, it has. And so I want
00:18:29.320 to present a theory because the story being told to you right now is really neat it's really simple
00:18:33.720 it has a villain and a victim a manipulator and a man who is supposedly led it says one leader
00:18:41.080 whispered into the other lies and the other leader was duped into it oh my gosh i've got to follow
00:18:49.260 history almost never works that way nations don't drift into wars of this scale because somebody
00:18:56.140 whispered a lie alone. Most times, if not almost all times, it's because pressure has been building,
00:19:04.820 sometimes for years, sometimes for generations, until the moment arrives when someone decides
00:19:10.620 the cost of waiting is greater than the cost of acting. And to understand this, you have to begin
00:19:18.380 where the pressure is the greatest. Where is the pressure greatest in the world when it comes to
00:19:23.680 Iran. Some will say, well, it's Iran because they're being bombed. No, Israel. Israel looks
00:19:32.240 at Iran differently than the West does. The West is, Iran is a policy problem. Israel sees Iran
00:19:44.500 as a deadline. I wrote a chalkboard today, just divvied it up into three, Iran, Israel, and the
00:19:52.940 us we're big satan but who do they promise to kill first little satan right little satan that's
00:20:03.660 israel we're big satan they have said over and over going the israelis the jews will burn in
00:20:09.600 the fires of the islamic fury and as they're saying that they're building nukes they have
00:20:14.500 400 to 600 kilograms that's about a thousand pounds of enriched uranium and they're 12ers
00:20:22.520 You'll really understand this if you've been following it all on the program.
00:20:26.660 This is what the Iranians believe.
00:20:28.840 The Iranian regime has spent decades funding proxies, building capability,
00:20:34.440 repeatedly, openly, consistently saying and acting in the way that follow their words
00:20:42.260 that Israel will cease to exist, that the Jews will die.
00:20:47.380 Now, that can be rhetoric to us here on this side of the planet.
00:20:51.100 But if you're an Israeli and you've got a state just, you know, a California distance away, and that state is the size of two Texas, you know, you look at things differently.
00:21:11.680 History has taught them something that Americans have just the luxury of debating.
00:21:17.800 When someone tells you repeatedly they intend to destroy you and kill you,
00:21:22.380 eventually you have to decide whether to believe them or not.
00:21:26.360 So inside Israel, this is not a conversation about strategy.
00:21:31.220 When do we go in?
00:21:32.540 Well, I don't know.
00:21:33.300 Is it going to cost us more for gasoline?
00:21:35.960 This is a question of survival for the Israelis in their mind.
00:21:42.480 So when a nation believes its survival is at stake,
00:21:45.880 especially a nation that was built so the Jew can survive, it doesn't wait for global
00:21:54.260 consensus. It acts. And it's happened before. 1981, Israel struck Iraq's nuclear reactor
00:22:01.320 without permission. 2007, it destroyed Syria's, quietly, decisively. Because in their doctrine,
00:22:09.520 if a threat is existential, delay is the most dangerous choice of all.
00:22:14.280 So now I want you to imagine this mindset, and it's really hard. You have to imagine to get in this mindset. Imagine that Mexico had been bombing us over and over again, had killed thousands of Americans, and they were across the border saying all the time, we're going to kill every one of you.
00:22:32.240 and then they're building nuclear weapons and your intelligence forget about anybody else
00:22:38.540 your intelligence says they're building missiles and they have a thousand pounds of
00:22:44.280 enriched uranium which will be enough missiles to wipe us off the face of the earth a thousand times
00:22:51.920 over and they keep saying they're going to do it and you know because you're living here and the
00:22:58.300 Mexicans have been bombing, they have invaded, and they've killed thousands of us while saying
00:23:03.780 this. It's different. So Benjamin Netanyahu, let's say he comes to the White House, which he did,
00:23:15.200 sits across from the American president, and the intelligence is laid out,
00:23:19.680 And the clock, real or perceived, is ticking.
00:23:27.180 And he makes it clear.
00:23:29.980 We're going in with or without you because we believe this intelligence.
00:23:37.500 We're going in.
00:23:39.420 And, Mr. President, we're going to take care of this once and for all.
00:23:44.980 We can't do it the way you can.
00:23:48.460 But, Mr. President, if we wait and they get a nuke, what's your reaction?
00:23:53.620 Your reaction will be, I'm not firing a nuke.
00:23:56.920 We have to lay off them now.
00:23:59.060 I will not be the first to nuke.
00:24:01.700 But we believe that they will nuke us first.
00:24:06.120 So if they're close to a nuke and we can't finish it, we will nuke them.
00:24:11.320 It is in our best interest.
00:24:14.040 My job is to protect the Israeli people and Israel, and they are not some sort of a math problem like they are in the rest of the world.
00:24:24.800 They're a real threat to us. This is not theater.
00:24:30.820 This has happened before.
00:24:34.000 So now the decision shifts.
00:24:36.760 not whether Israel will act but will Israel is the United States going to have any influence
00:24:48.120 over how that action unfolds because the president has spent all of this time trying to tie the
00:24:55.440 Middle East together he was going to go in at some point he had said it I'm going in but you have
00:25:02.580 an ally now that is saying, we know you're going to go in, but the job has to be finished. And if
00:25:10.360 you don't do it, that's okay. We're fine. We'll do it. But we're going to pulverize them. We will
00:25:17.640 destroy their ability. And the president knows that will put the entire Middle East into chaos
00:25:24.080 because we just learned from Iraq and Afghanistan.
00:25:30.820 Please, let us do it our way.
00:25:34.780 Mr. President, we will go in with you.
00:25:38.080 We have the same goal here.
00:25:40.160 But this is where the story changes, and it's not being duped
00:25:43.760 because we were going to do it anyway.
00:25:48.340 But things change.
00:25:50.060 we've seen this moment before 1956 during the Suez crisis Israel Britain France moved to seize
00:25:58.560 the canal they believe they were acting rationally even even that they had to do it
00:26:04.220 Eisenhower saw something else he saw chain reaction that could pull the Soviet Union
00:26:10.140 and fracture the world so America stepped in not against its enemies but against our own
00:26:16.960 allies of France and forced them to stop. Everybody's like, why are we getting involved
00:26:23.180 in that? To force them to stop so we could control the situation. 1973, Yom Kippur War.
00:26:30.960 United States rushed to support Israel when it was on the brink. But Israel, it began to win
00:26:37.060 decisively. Washington grew concerned that victory might trigger something larger. So Henry Kissinger
00:26:42.780 worked to slow the momentum and to contain, not defeat, but contain success.
00:26:50.700 1962, Cuban Missile Crisis.
00:26:53.460 Greatest pressure was not just between the two nations, but within one.
00:26:58.900 The military here in the United States urging immediate strikes.
00:27:03.460 Hit them. Hit them hard. Hit them now.
00:27:06.360 John F. Kennedy chose something else.
00:27:08.940 He chose the path that restrained his own side as much as it confronted the Soviets
00:27:15.140 because he understood how quickly action could become annihilation.
00:27:21.680 So the pattern is here.
00:27:23.280 This is the way we do things.
00:27:25.540 When allies feel existential danger, they move quickly,
00:27:30.420 and they're willing to go further than anyone else is comfortable with
00:27:34.580 because they believe they are the target.
00:27:38.180 We don't believe that.
00:27:40.340 Every president has said that they believe that,
00:27:43.600 but nobody has had the stones to do anything.
00:27:47.440 Why?
00:27:49.300 Because you don't believe that.
00:27:52.560 The American people don't see this as an actual threat.
00:27:58.160 When a superpower sees the broader system,
00:28:01.280 the dominoes, the alliances, the escalation ladder,
00:28:05.140 it moves to control the scope of that action, and sometimes from the outside, but sometimes
00:28:10.640 from within. So consider this possibility, just a theory. The United States didn't enter this
00:28:16.080 conflict because it was misled. It's because we face the choice of two wars. One, it could
00:28:23.760 influence, that we were going to do anyway, and one, it could not. If America stands aside,
00:28:31.360 Israel acts alone and when a nation believes its survival its very survival is on the line
00:28:38.340 it doesn't calibrate for global stability it calibrates for certainty wipe it out that means
00:28:46.360 what wider targets deeper strikes faster escalation fewer constraints oils oil fields on fire what
00:28:54.180 happened just last week they hit oil fields we were being led by the nose by Benjamin Netanyahu
00:29:00.720 That makes no sense.
00:29:02.060 If we were duped into the war and we're fighting Israel's war,
00:29:05.080 why then would President Trump say, stop it?
00:29:08.260 Stop hitting the oil fields.
00:29:10.540 They have different goals than we do.
00:29:13.840 We came in, and quite honestly, again,
00:29:19.160 imagine we've been hit by Mexico,
00:29:23.680 and NATO decided to step in and said,
00:29:25.900 okay, okay, we'll help you solve this problem.
00:29:28.620 Because it's a problem for us, too,
00:29:30.060 because Mexico and the cartels are coming for us next.
00:29:33.640 So we'll do it.
00:29:34.980 But Europe wouldn't see that as a threat to Europe.
00:29:38.140 Germans would be like, it's America.
00:29:39.700 Who cares?
00:29:40.320 We're not involved in that.
00:29:41.480 Why would we get involved?
00:29:42.860 Just like we do.
00:29:44.920 They say the same thing.
00:29:46.760 And if we saw that Europe was starting to fold
00:29:50.380 and Europe was like starting to say,
00:29:52.480 we don't want anything to do with this war.
00:29:53.940 Why are we in this war?
00:29:54.660 We got to get out of this war.
00:29:55.760 and we saw that maybe NATO was starting to weaken
00:30:00.320 and they were not going to finish the job,
00:30:02.960 what the hell do you think we would do?
00:30:04.860 We would do exactly what Israel is doing.
00:30:07.900 We would burn Mexico to the ground if we had to,
00:30:12.020 if we believed that they were going to burn us to the ground.
00:30:19.060 This is not simple.
00:30:21.640 War is not simple.
00:30:23.040 killing people is horrible and it's not simple solving things where people want to wipe a whole
00:30:30.420 group of people off the face of the earth has happened over and over and over again and why
00:30:36.400 is it we just expect expect to have a simple little answer you're listening to the best of
00:30:43.600 the Glenn Beck program. See, I'm telling you, continuing major combat operations in Iran,
00:30:55.140 Israel just hit more, you know, a gas field struck by Israel. And I can guarantee you the
00:31:02.000 president's going to come out and say, stop it. Stop it. If you missed my theory last hour on
00:31:08.960 what is really happening, trying to make sense of, you know, Benjamin Netanyahu, he's a zombie
00:31:15.180 doctor. He can put everybody in a trance just by walking in the room. And all these Israeli spies
00:31:20.560 are whispering their plans in the ears of our politicians at night. You want to make sense of
00:31:27.340 the world? Let's talk reality and history. If Israel was influencing us, how did that happen?
00:31:37.120 And I'll show you, history would show you, exactly how something like that could have happened.
00:31:44.220 And it's not that. It's not that.
00:31:47.740 But it could happen because we have the same goal and kind of different goals.
00:31:53.520 Make sure you check it out if you missed it.
00:31:55.940 It's on the podcast today, first hour, hour number one.
00:31:59.220 You can find that at glenbeck.com slash torture, wherever you get your podcasts.
00:32:02.640 Liz, welcome to the program, host of the Liz Wheeler Show on Blaze TV.
00:32:06.680 Hi, Liz.
00:32:07.280 Hi, Glenn. How are you?
00:32:08.180 I'm good. I'm good.
00:32:11.480 Liz, are you as tired as I am of dealing with the crap instead of the real issues?
00:32:22.740 Yes, times about 100.
00:32:26.840 I just listened to your full first hour monologue, and it's a fascinating theory, by the way.
00:32:33.660 very plausible, very complex, which I think you said at the very beginning of your monologue,
00:32:40.540 you have to be an adult in the room to be able to parse through this because it is complex.
00:32:46.380 But you were speaking a couple of weeks ago, and I mean, we're less than three weeks from
00:32:51.220 when President Trump began his military action in Iran. And you were pointing out that his action
00:32:56.780 in iran following the military action in venezuela from what a month or two ago aren't just isolated
00:33:04.660 military operations but they're part of a larger geopolitical play against china to dilute china's
00:33:12.720 power without militarily or even with a trade war directly confronting them and i thought you know
00:33:20.400 what this is the brilliance of donald trump parsed by the brilliance of glenn beck and your monologue
00:33:27.220 today is the exact same way obviously there's no proof that those conversations that you were
00:33:32.820 laying out happened in the exact way that you were laying out no but if that was the case if that is
00:33:40.040 what happened then it's actually funny that they gave and it's always funny that they gave barack
00:33:45.580 obama the the nobel peace prize because it's donald trump who shows protection defensiveness
00:33:52.740 strength self-control and restraint using the u.s military to actually do what we in america
00:34:00.600 are supposed to do which yes is protect the world's moral order to a certain extent without
00:34:07.040 being uh neocons it's a brilliant hypothesis well thank you i mean i don't again like you said i
00:34:15.300 don't know if that's true um but i don't you know that and that is the problem with uh joe kent
00:34:20.100 he claims and my sources in the white house told me that this is not true um for a myriad of reasons
00:34:29.820 uh he was asked not to be in any of the briefings um but he claims that he was there at the white
00:34:37.460 house he has firsthand knowledge he saw things go down but he's not giving proof i'm i'm a i'm a
00:34:44.400 podcaster i'm a i'm not even a journalist i'm somebody who my job is to take all of the
00:34:50.780 information that i can see all of the facts and everything else and then make sense of it and try
00:34:55.920 to help people make sense of it but he comes from the national security world and if you're coming
00:35:01.620 out and saying uh israel duped the president you damn well better have proof you can't just say
00:35:09.240 you're not a podcaster man you have implied knowledge and implied experience so come out
00:35:17.580 otherwise i think you're just being absolutely reckless reckless would you agree yes there's
00:35:26.080 one other word that i would use to describe i think what has happened over the course of the
00:35:31.700 past 48 hours with joe kent and i will wait to use this word for one moment while i lay this out
00:35:37.760 I'm a very open-minded person about allegations against politicians. I am willing to believe
00:35:44.940 almost anything about any politician on either side of the aisle as long as there's evidence.
00:35:50.360 So when Joe Kent, very high-ranking official, obviously now the former director of the National
00:35:56.020 Counterterrorism Center, comes out and makes these allegations, two of them specifically in
00:36:00.820 his resignation letter, that President Trump was somehow tricked or duped by Israel into
00:36:07.620 this military action with Iran, and that there is no evidence of any threat that Iran poses.
00:36:16.100 And he wasn't perfectly clear about whether that's a threat that Iran poses to the world
00:36:19.720 or to Israel or to the United States or to citizens of the United States abroad.
00:36:23.840 When he makes these claims, and then in his appearance on Tucker Carlson last night, he
00:36:28.460 added a third very significant claim to these two that were contained in the resignation
00:36:33.660 letter the third claim being that there was a foreign nexus or an international nexus
00:36:38.800 to the charlie kirk assassination that he was told not to investigate these are if these claims are
00:36:45.820 true by all means show us why they're true i will i mean if these claims were true glenn you and i
00:36:52.860 actually should know if these claims were true he actually should reveal them to the american people
00:36:57.980 he shouldn't keep them to himself liz i said when he first came out i said if these things are true
00:37:03.580 these are actionable these are things that you must act on they must be exposed and we must
00:37:11.620 know and correct but if you don't have the proof you're just throwing matches on gasoline
00:37:19.100 that's exactly right so that's where of course i become very skeptical of these claims because
00:37:25.000 in his position he would have access to evidence to substantiate each one of these claims and he
00:37:32.760 provided none now none but what he did was immediately run to two podcasts last night he
00:37:41.340 was on Tucker Carlson I believe he's scheduled to be on Candace Owens today podcasts with enormous
00:37:45.740 audiences but coincidentally podcasts where he is the least likely to be asked the one question
00:37:51.400 that he should be asked which is Joe where's the proof of your claim where's the proof and so that's
00:37:57.360 where I get to the word that I would use to describe and this is just my analysis as someone
00:38:01.820 who's been in this industry for over a decade. I've watched a lot of people pursue a lot of
00:38:05.740 opportunities, some in good faith, some in bad faith. This seems very opportunistic. This seems
00:38:12.100 to me like someone, and I know there were reports yesterday that he is under FBI investigation for
00:38:16.620 leaking classified information. The details of that remain murky. We don't know all the details
00:38:21.820 yet. I will tell you, and I'm sure you know this as well, Glenn, it is an open secret in Washington,
00:38:26.900 in D.C. that Joe Kent is a leaker. I personally know information that Joe Kent has leaked,
00:38:32.340 not related to these allegations, but related to other things, that he has leaked to other
00:38:36.740 people. This is the thing that I'm surprising the nation by saying today. This is a well-known
00:38:43.380 fact. This man, if he is under investigation and he wants to avoid a potential prosecution,
00:38:51.660 what would be the best way to do that? The best way to do that would be go on a podcast tour
00:38:55.780 with hosts who are not going to challenge him for the evidence to substantiate his claim.
00:39:00.800 So are you saying then he would charge the reason why they're coming after me
00:39:04.960 is because I said these things, I revealed Israel as the bad guy?
00:39:11.460 I believe so. I believe that's what we'll see in the days and weeks.
00:39:15.100 I hope that's not true.
00:39:16.220 He's also trying to discourage them from actually coming after him
00:39:19.200 by getting a certain segment of the public opinion on his side.
00:39:23.620 You know, Liz, my kids never did that in the background.
00:39:26.080 My kids were perfect angels.
00:39:28.600 It's her debut on national radio.
00:39:31.580 It's going to be a broadcaster.
00:39:33.160 She's got a lot to say.
00:39:35.560 So, you know, the one thing you just brought this up about Charlie Kirk.
00:39:39.480 And I'm so sick of hearing about Charlie Kirk and what his beliefs were, you know, right before he died.
00:39:49.400 because I had a conversation with Charlie Kirk right before he died and he said you know I really
00:39:54.240 hate Joe Kent he's just a bad guy and now I can't prove that I have no but I it was the last
00:39:59.980 conversation that I had with Charlie Kirk he said I really think Joe Kent's a bad guy can you stop
00:40:07.480 with this stuff stop with the Charlie Kirk's last conversation was fill in the blank please I can't
00:40:17.380 take it. Now, if you have a text from him, you have something and you can see the whole context
00:40:22.460 of it. Great. But can we stop saying, you know, his final words were, it was Israel that did it.
00:40:31.720 Can't take it. It's, it's so disrespectful to his legacy. It's so disrespectful to his family.
00:40:37.280 The funny thing about it, Glenn, is that we have an absolutely enormous library. That man was on
00:40:43.220 air constantly. And he opined on every topic on the face of the earth. And there's no doubt in
00:40:50.360 anybody's mind about what he thought about any particular topic, because he talked about them
00:40:54.280 all the time. So all the time. So the people who are trying to hijack his legacy, put words in his
00:41:01.720 mouth when he cannot correct them. It's I mean, it's despicable in a sense, because the worst
00:41:07.440 type of accusations that you make against someone are false accusations where they're unable to come
00:41:11.380 back and correct the record and that's essentially what's happening when people are trying to use
00:41:15.720 charlie kirk and the the grief that we all feel and the respect that we all had for him when he
00:41:22.360 was such an influential leader in our country they're trying to use that to push they're using
00:41:27.800 that as their mechanism of persuasion for their fringe ideas that they cannot sell on their own
00:41:32.840 merit it's it's despicable um you know there um we do know that charlie in his writings and public
00:41:40.100 podcast and everything else. He saw radical Islam as one of the biggest threats of the West. He also
00:41:46.720 saw neocons and endless wars, but those don't necessarily go hand in hand. They can. You can
00:41:54.700 have a neocon that uses that radical Islam as an excuse to get you into a never-ending war,
00:42:00.160 but there also may be wars that should be fought because of the threat of radical Islam to the
00:42:07.360 west so they don't always go together and that's the one thing that you know without the context
00:42:12.800 you could say three years ago yeah charlie said a year ago charlie said don't let us get into a war
00:42:19.140 with iran well but what is the build-up to that what are the actual facts on the ground that that
00:42:27.260 can change you know um and uh and i think we should be aware of you know the threat that radical islam
00:42:37.360 we're facing right now. Is this going to hurt this war? Is this going to hurt or help
00:42:41.980 wake people up in Europe and the United States on what is actually happening to the Western
00:42:47.620 civilization? Yes, I think that's correct. And actually going back to Joe Kent's resignation
00:42:53.780 letter, I think your point is substantiated in something that he said that struck me yesterday
00:42:59.220 when I was reading that letter multiple times to try to understand his perspective.
00:43:03.020 he joe kent in writing his resignation letter was already referring to president trump's military
00:43:09.860 action in iran which like i said let it's three weeks tomorrow less than three weeks
00:43:14.140 right at this moment he was referring to it as a forever war and i read this and i said what
00:43:21.140 exactly makes this a forever war when it's less than three weeks and a president whose entire
00:43:26.540 history of action has been limited military interaction to use the u.s military to go in
00:43:31.680 complete an objective and get out twice this year already he's done this or twice in the last year
00:43:36.340 i should say last summer with um the 12-day war and then in venezuela what exactly makes this a
00:43:42.060 forever war and it just kind of illuminated in my mind this fallacy that some of these isolationists
00:43:48.280 fall prey to which is to associate any use of the u.s military with a forever war therefore
00:43:55.420 rendering any use of the U.S. military as somehow immoral, which is not rational thinking, it's not
00:44:03.160 logical, and it's not reality. The reality is we have a U.S. military for a reason, and one of those
00:44:09.520 reasons is exactly what you're talking about in your special tonight, which is this looming,
00:44:15.160 growing, deeply embedded threat in the United States of America, which is the ideology, I don't
00:44:22.280 even want to call it a religion the ideology of islam which seeks to establish a global caliphate
00:44:29.660 seeks to turn the united states into an islamic state and if we don't use the u.s military to
00:44:36.240 take that threat out abroad while it's festering then we are going to quite literally be killed by
00:44:41.860 that threat in our own backyard yeah and it's coming faster than anybody knows liz thank you
00:44:46.340 always thank you god bless you uh host host of liz wheeler show on blaze tv you should watch and
