00:00:00.000 When you let aero truffle bubbles melt, everything takes on a creamy, delicious, chocolatey glow.

00:01:41.820 Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:01:46.100 This isn't a podcast.

00:01:56.020 Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference.
00:01:59.740 And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.
00:02:20.800 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
00:02:50.800 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:57.160 Hello, America.
00:03:00.120 You know, Thomas Jefferson said where the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
00:03:07.660 So let's see if we can be well-informed.
00:03:09.900 let's just talk about the stories of the day that are happening and see if I can
00:03:14.500 take a few stories and connect them because they they might look disconnected but they're really
00:03:20.460 not and we'll start there here in just a couple of seconds first relief factor you know the human
00:03:25.240 body is an incredible machine it is capable of remarkable things healing adapting recovering
00:03:30.880 but like any machine when something starts building up in the system that shouldn't be
00:03:35.000 there, things stop running the way they should. And one of those things is inflammation. Inflammation
00:03:40.960 is part of your body's natural response to stresses and injury, and it lingers. And when
00:03:47.500 it doesn't settle down the way it's supposed to, it starts showing up as everyday aches and pains
00:03:51.600 and also illness. This is where Relief Factor comes in. Relief Factor is designed to support
00:03:58.240 your body's response to inflammation by using a combination of natural ingredients that work
00:04:03.120 with your body, not against it. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor. Two-thirds of
00:04:07.640 them have gone on to take more because when the system starts running smoothly, you notice the
00:04:12.260 difference. You'll notice it. In fact, take it from me. I've done it in personal experience. My
00:04:16.280 wife made me try the three-week quick start. This is before I was advertising, and I didn't advertise
00:04:21.280 for them because I didn't know if it worked. My wife said, you're taking this. I'm tired of hearing
00:04:25.560 you bellyache all the time about the pain. Just try it. You've tried everything else. Try this.
00:04:30.140 I didn't think it would work. It did. Relief Factor. 800-4-RELIEF. 800-4-RELIEF or ReliefFactor.com.
00:04:39.540 All right. I want to connect a few stories that on the surface look completely unrelated,
00:04:45.300 but they're actually not. They're all telling you the same thing about how power is working
00:04:49.960 in America right now. So let me start in Washington. The Senate now is preparing to
00:04:57.740 vote on the SAVE Act. This is a complete sham. Now, this is just a bill that says you have to
00:05:03.900 prove you're a citizen to vote in American elections. Think about that for just a second,
00:05:10.600 just this basic idea. If you're voting in the United States, you should be an American citizen.
00:05:18.120 That's it. But the Senate leadership is already warning that it might need 60 votes to pass.
00:05:24.580 well yeah if you don't do your job it will and that's where the game begins because technically
00:05:30.900 they are right practically they're hiding behind the rules the senate has called for something or
00:05:38.820 it has something called the filibuster and originally if you wanted to block a bill all
00:05:43.480 you had to do is stand on the floor and talk hour after hour day after day you know your voice giving
00:05:48.360 up your legs shaking mr stewart mr smith goes to washington okay that that that's the whole point
00:05:55.140 of that movie but today you don't have to do that anymore because it's hard you just threaten a
00:06:01.360 filibuster and then walk away and you need a 60 person vote to bring it back to the floor no
00:06:06.060 speeches no fight no accountability okay no courage just a zombie filibuster republican senators know
00:06:15.600 something most Americans don't. They could force the issue. They could keep the Senate in continuous
00:06:22.680 session for day after day after day. And if Democrats want to block voter citizenship
00:06:28.360 requirements, then let them stand there for 24 hours a day explaining why. Make them hold the
00:06:35.300 floor. Make them say it out loud. But that would require something rare in Washington. Effort.
00:06:42.780 conviction courage a belief in our system so instead the bill just will quietly die
00:06:53.560 and the public will never see the fight okay why does this matter well let me tie the next story
00:07:01.820 to this because at the exact same time this is happening the justice department is saying
00:07:06.340 something else that could stop the country should stop the country cold assistant attorney general
00:07:13.280 harmeet dylan says investigators now are finding tens of thousands of non-citizens on voter rolls
00:07:19.780 and hundreds of thousands of dead people still registered now maybe most of these people will
00:07:25.980 never vote but not one of them should you know when it comes to our our air travel we don't say
00:07:33.960 relax, most planes land safely. Have you ever heard anyone actually suggest that Boeing should
00:07:43.480 just come out and say, you know, we've had thousands and thousands of flights and it was
00:07:48.120 only one door that blew out in the middle of the flight. It was only one plane that crashed. Okay,
00:07:53.380 maybe three, but we've had hundreds of thousands of flights. No, zero tolerance because the system
00:08:02.560 only works if the public trusts it. Not only is the Boeing example ridiculous to think that we
00:08:09.420 would accept because of the loss of life, but even Boeing knows they have to fix that. They have one
00:08:15.900 more plane go down. If they don't restore the confidence in the system of Boeing and their
00:08:22.240 airplanes, no one will buy or fly a Boeing airplane. It's the same thing. Trust right now
00:08:30.100 is the rarest currency in america you have to have trust in the system look what else dropped
00:08:39.220 fbi director now says the bureau ran four secret counterintelligence operations from 2016 to 2025
00:08:47.220 that monitored over a thousand trump associates journalists lawmakers and advisors
00:08:54.820 excuse me what this makes nixon look like child's play some of these probes are now under civil
00:09:05.260 rights review the same institutions that tell you trust the system are quietly admitting the system
00:09:12.660 has been used to spy on political movements meanwhile in los angeles investigators just
00:09:20.460 uncovered something almost unbelievable and we are in the sea of unbelievable and incomprehensible
00:09:28.460 nearly half of the hospices in la county show fraud warning signs companies were billing
00:09:38.040 medicare your tax dollars that are supposed to go to the people who actually need it
00:09:43.760 they were billing with zero patients. Multiple hospices registered at the same buildings. This
00:09:51.980 is in LA now. Patients discovering that they were fraudulently enrolled in hospice care and they
00:09:57.680 didn't even know it. So somebody was using their name to get money to provide care that they never
00:10:04.500 got and no one did and every patient was billed to the taxpayer for $29,000 that's not a glitch
00:10:14.260 that's an industry and when government money flows without any accountability predators follow it
00:10:22.080 like sharks follow blood do you understand why they had to get rid of Elon Musk now and Doge
00:10:27.600 Do you see? Do you see? Now let me zoom out because something even bigger is happening.
00:10:35.940 While our institutions are fighting over Senate procedure to trust the system of voting and
00:10:43.820 Medicare fraud to trust that your tax dollars are going where they said, the world is moving
00:10:49.000 and the world is moving fast. The United States just sank 16 Iranian mine layers in the Persian
00:10:55.620 Gulf, 16. And Iran is threatening to mine the Strait of Hormuz. That is a 20, no, I'm sorry,
00:11:04.000 is it 20? I think it's a 20-mile stretch, okay, where one-fifth of the world's oil passes every
00:11:12.860 single day. And what Iran is saying is, you want this war? Good, enjoy $200 a barrel oil.
00:11:19.320 But here's what they didn't expect. Their submarines, the one they call black holes,
00:11:24.080 because supposedly they're invisible.
00:11:26.320 Yeah, they have giant black holes through them now.
00:11:30.860 And inside Iran itself, something really extraordinary is happening.
00:11:35.480 The Arab tribal leaders in the country's oil region,
00:11:39.540 this is the place that produces about 60% of Iran's crude,
00:11:43.480 just issued a statement calling for a free Iran and the end of the Islamic Republic.
00:11:49.160 That is massive.
00:11:51.620 That's like the oil workers in Soviet Russia demanding the fall of the Kremlin.
00:11:57.240 It tells you the regime is weaker than anyone realized.
00:12:02.520 But revolutions rarely happen cleanly.
00:12:06.600 Sometimes the regime collapses.
00:12:08.360 Sometimes it thrashes around for years.
00:12:11.380 And all the while, when that is unfolding overseas, back here at home,
00:12:16.480 we're arguing whether you should have to prove you're a citizen to vote.
00:12:20.880 what see that's the disconnect here the world is playing geopolitical chess
00:12:31.180 for the whole game and washington is arguing whether the players are even allowed to sit at
00:12:37.680 the board there's another lesson buried in today's headlines look at the media coverage of iran look
00:12:46.000 at the media coverage of the iranian the girls soccer team which i get into here in a minute
00:12:49.740 one major newspaper i just say the new york times led with photos of people mourning the ayatollah
00:12:57.740 but buried deep in the story are are the lines that show iranians are saying they actually hope
00:13:06.120 the bombing continues if it means the regime falls wait what when is the last time you heard
00:13:14.380 a people in a nation say, please, America, continue to bomb because you can't stop until
00:13:21.300 the job is done. Why does the New York Times show the 10% instead of the 90%? Because the story they
00:13:29.900 want to tell you is always the same. America, bad, enemies, misunderstood. So step back.
00:13:38.100 here is what the headlines today actually reveal the institutions that are supposed to protect
00:13:46.360 trust elections law enforcement government spending the media are all under strain at the
00:13:52.920 same time they're not broken beyond repair but they are deeply strained and jonathan martin uh
00:14:00.420 made a point about me today in politico he said how can one spend decades in and around american
00:14:06.080 politics and not understand the basic macro politics of midterm elections he's talking
00:14:10.700 about why i'm for the save act and he says it's going to hurt the republicans in the midterms
00:14:15.900 i don't i don't know your proof on that one but i don't care about the midterms
00:14:19.960 jonathan that's your job at politico politico you should be about the midterm elections
00:14:26.720 my job is to care about the principles of the republic you know only caring about the next
00:14:34.440 election which is very important don't get me wrong is what got us here in the first place
00:14:40.100 a strained system that wobbles more and more each passing day and when the systems are strained like
00:14:47.580 this there are only a few things that matter principles transparency and courage
00:14:56.620 transparency means letting americans actually see the fight whether it's a senate filibuster
00:15:04.620 or an fbi investigation courage means you have to be willing to stand there and defend your
00:15:11.440 position in the light and let the chips fall where they may because if you're not willing
00:15:16.860 to stand up and explain what you believe you know maybe you shouldn't be blocking the vote
00:15:21.600 in the first place.
00:15:23.720 And that's the real story.
00:15:26.260 Not just what happened,
00:15:28.100 but what it reveals about where our country is today.
00:15:31.880 A moment where the truth is fighting to surface
00:15:35.120 and the people running the system
00:15:37.680 are deciding whether or not
00:15:39.300 they're going to help it surface
00:15:40.620 or keep it sinking.
00:15:45.380 The truth is surfacing whether they like it or not.
00:15:48.600 I don't know how it all works out,
00:15:50.300 but the truth will always set you free our sponsor rush tax if you get a notice from the irs don't
00:15:59.040 ignore it okay that's what a lot of people feel like doing some people do because they just don't
00:16:03.700 know what else to do you know they see that envelope you know what it is and your first
00:16:08.260 instinct is to set it down on the corner you know on the counter and just tell yourself i'll deal
00:16:12.300 with that later but with the irs later's not a strategy tax problems don't get smaller when you
00:16:18.020 ignore them? Why don't you do your patriotic duty and just pay your tax? Oh, shut up. All of these
00:16:23.400 penalties and everything else, they can all add up and what is maybe manageable now becomes big

00:17:16.300 i want to take you in fact if you happen to be watching us on the blaze go ahead and roll the
00:17:31.500 footage of this the the hotel corridor in sydney australia it was late at night
00:17:38.940 The fluorescent lights are humming overhead, the kind of lights that make everything pale and unreal.
00:17:51.000 Five young women are standing there with hockey bags slung over their shoulders.
00:17:56.640 Athletes.
00:17:57.860 They are members of Iran's national women's hockey team.
00:18:02.200 Girls who have spent their lives training for the privilege of representing their country.
00:18:06.160 In that moment, they understood something their coaches and their government handles also understood.
00:18:14.500 Once they stepped outside that door, they may never see home again.
00:18:20.460 And yet, they walked.
00:18:23.600 Quietly, carefully, down a hallway, down a flight of stairs, into a future that did not exist.
00:18:31.620 what we know now is australian police helped them slip away from the officials assigned to
00:18:37.700 monitor them and without within hours uh the players requested asylum five girls chose a
00:18:45.280 life of uncertainty over the certainty of control you know it's it's a different world we as
00:18:53.660 americans we just don't get it we just don't get it there are many countries like this but iran is
00:19:01.140 one of them, where sports are never just sports. And as much as the left has tried to do that to
00:19:06.860 our sports, I think Americans are tired of it. Here, if a football player takes a knee on our
00:19:12.260 national anthem, they just become more famous and rich, okay? That's not oppression. But we try to
00:19:20.180 make it into oppression. But in places where real oppression lives in Iran, every athlete who
00:19:27.680 travels abroad represents the state of iran they are monitored they are guided they are reminded
00:19:33.400 constantly that their behavior reflects on the regime and they're also constantly reminded you
00:19:39.240 have family back at home so be careful the women carry even a heavier burden every public appearance
00:19:47.280 is all about conforming to strict rules about dress conduct speech careers depend on obedience
00:19:54.180 and your family is back at home.
00:19:59.120 Which brings me to the part of the story
00:20:00.880 where the headlines barely even mention.
00:20:02.980 Several of the teammates returned home.
00:20:06.320 Those girls now live under a cloud they didn't create.
00:20:10.840 And the authorities are going to ask them questions.
00:20:13.180 Security services are going to conduct interviews
00:20:15.340 that might last hours or days.
00:20:17.860 None of them sang the national anthem.
00:20:20.640 So they're all traitors to the regime.
00:20:24.180 sources say now that in iran families find themselves under quiet surveillance
00:20:32.320 reports now speculate that some family members may have already been arrested detained or
00:20:37.760 questioned we don't know but authoritarian systems protect themselves through pressure
00:20:44.200 and that pressure spreads outward from any act of defiance one athlete leaves the regime has to
00:20:53.240 remind everyone else there's a cost. And yet, something important is happening inside Iran
00:21:02.280 right now. For years, the Islamic Republic maintained control through that fear, and
00:21:08.560 it was immovable. There were consequences that were way too severe, the risk too great.
00:21:14.740 But the foundation is weakening. Women are refusing the hijab. Students are marching
00:21:22.820 through the universities. Workers are striking in oil fields and factories, and now athletes,
00:21:28.240 people chosen to represent the nation itself, decide freedom is worth more than the career
00:21:33.660 they were given. And every single act on its own, but together they begin to form a pattern.
00:21:43.900 Something is happening in the world, and history moves quietly at first. A few people step outside
00:21:51.000 of the lines. But everybody else is watching carefully. And then the realization spread
00:21:56.940 that the walls surrounding them might not be so permanent after all. You're seeing it
00:22:03.180 now in Cuba. And you saw it with five hockey players walking down a hotel hallway. It might
00:22:10.220 look insignificant from a distance. But in Iran, oh, it was noticed. Young girls all
00:22:17.160 across the country will hear about it
00:22:18.880 for decades.
00:22:20.800 They'll understand exactly what those players
00:22:22.980 risked and exactly
00:22:24.780 why they did it.
00:22:27.140 And somewhere, maybe,
00:22:28.880 among the next generation
00:22:31.080 of women,
00:22:32.820 they'll decide that life
00:22:35.080 under the Islamic Republic
00:22:36.820 is no longer the only future
00:22:38.880 available.
00:22:40.260 And that is how real change
00:22:42.920 begins.
00:22:45.400 I hope for
00:22:46.540 the women in Iran and all other repressed countries, I hope they see this example.
00:22:55.440 More, I really hope those who claim to be for the rights of women and homosexuals begin to see the
00:23:02.080 hypocrisy of their own actions. How can you claim to be against the repression of women and not
00:23:07.220 celebrate what's happening in Iran and hold these women up as the lionesses that they are?
00:23:12.640 the left is just continuing to expose themselves as much as they did during the state of the union
00:23:18.300 they don't care about the people or individuals they really care about the great satan we are
00:23:23.380 the world's oppressor to them with our values and our capitalism meanwhile the states of cuba
00:23:28.300 venezuela and iran are the oppressed and we're the oppressor that's all they see collectivism
00:23:33.380 at its absolute worst it's about to fail the walls are coming down all right let me tell you
00:23:39.820 about our sponsor? Our sponsor is Preborn. For much of the 20th century, abortion was the subject
00:23:46.720 of a deep moral debate. And then in 1973, the Supreme Court's decision in Roe versus Wade
00:23:53.640 changed the legal landscape for the entire country. Do you know that our founders actually
00:23:57.960 debated this? They had debated and they had decided. The decision that was made changed
00:24:06.560 the national conversation about life, about choice, and what our laws should say about both in 1973.
00:24:12.680 Today, even after the decision was overturned, the debate still goes, you know, not just in
00:24:17.220 courts and legislatures, but in the real life moments when a woman is faced with a difficult
00:24:21.020 and really frightening decision. That is where pre-born is making a real difference. They help
00:24:27.900 provide free ultrasounds to women who are facing an unplanned pregnancy so they can see their baby,
00:24:32.680 They can hear the heartbeat.
00:24:34.200 They can have the information and support that they need to make the decision for life.
00:24:40.780 Help them out, will you?
00:24:41.780 It's pre-born.
00:24:42.800 $28 will provide a free ultrasound.
00:24:45.020 $140 will save five moms and babies.
00:24:47.840 Donate.

00:25:02.680 you know as i i go over the news of the day and we talk about the save america
00:25:25.280 or we debate what's happening in Iran.
00:25:34.180 We're forcing each other into making trades
00:25:38.600 and we're not thinking about that.
00:25:42.020 When you're choosing one over another
00:25:45.260 and both of them may be true,
00:25:48.160 what are you trading?
00:25:49.720 What are you trading?
00:25:50.580 What value?
00:25:51.260 What principle are you trading away?
00:25:54.520 because society has taught you that two things cannot be true at once.
00:25:59.800 And that is a huge lie.
00:26:01.460 Two things can be true at once.
00:26:03.740 I am not for war, but I think this limited action may be right.
00:26:13.020 Notice I say, may be right.
00:26:15.100 I don't know.
00:26:16.280 I don't know because I can't see the future.
00:26:18.960 I can see what I believe the intent is, but I can't see the future.
00:26:23.460 So it may be a huge mistake.
00:26:25.860 Okay, Glenn, you think it's a huge mistake?
00:26:28.100 Maybe a huge mistake.
00:26:29.640 Well, then why would you do it?
00:26:31.100 Well, because I can't see the future.
00:26:33.140 It may not be a huge mistake.
00:26:35.300 It may be the right thing to do because of all of the ramifications of what comes if you don't make that move.
00:26:42.320 But everybody acts so sure.
00:26:44.860 And we're trading so much away.
00:26:53.460 We were just talking about the Iranian girls.
00:26:58.820 I don't understand how the men on the left,
00:27:03.400 do you not have somebody in your life,
00:27:06.120 a woman, a daughter, a mom, a wife, a sister,
00:27:11.820 that you can't see what these women are going through
00:27:15.100 over in Iran and you can't empathize with them?
00:27:18.960 How can you say you want to stand up against the great oppression here in America on homosexuals and yet you will not say anything about this regime that throws homosexuals off building tops or executes them in the public square?
00:27:42.720 What have you traded?
00:27:44.300 let me tell you how what i'm thinking why why i'm thinking this way yesterday it was my
00:27:54.640 my mother-in-law's 83rd birthday
00:27:56.840 she lives with us during the winter now
00:28:02.780 as she was younger than i am now when we first met and that seems like yesterday
00:28:12.460 I watch her and I listen to her now and I think, where has the time gone?
00:28:20.840 When we first met, she was a dynamo.
00:28:25.140 She still is, but she was a dynamo, very successful in what she does, very powerful.
00:28:31.140 And I was young and stupid and full of nothing but wide open highways to dreams and worlds yet to be explored and built.
00:28:42.460 And a long list and seemingly never-ending time to do those things.
00:28:50.160 I was 35 years old when we met.
00:28:54.100 And I was a young man who already had lived a very harsh and fast life.
00:29:00.060 And I wanted to marry her 26-year-old daughter.
00:29:03.800 I told her at the time, I wouldn't be for that.
00:29:06.360 I understand your reluctance here.
00:29:08.300 but I promised her
00:29:12.780 I would love and cherish her daughter
00:29:15.180 and I would treat her right
00:29:19.500 and I hope I have
00:29:24.180 I tried really hard
00:29:25.620 but so much time has passed
00:29:28.840 so much has happened
00:29:30.400 and now just sitting with her
00:29:32.780 I feel like
00:29:34.740 I've missed it all
00:29:38.100 people bitch about their mother-in-law all the time
00:29:45.840 it's a joke
00:29:46.440 but she has brought such
00:29:53.700 wisdom
00:29:54.740 she has brought
00:29:58.260 prayer
00:30:01.160 calm
00:30:02.300 steady
00:30:03.580 quiet foundation
00:30:06.460 almost every day she says to me i hope that you slow down i hope that there's going to come a
00:30:16.040 time when you slow down and at first when she was saying that i keep thinking i have got to speed up
00:30:22.040 i there's not a lot of time left
00:30:24.000 but this is the first time i've lived with a parent since i was 18 and maybe it's just that
00:30:34.760 I'm getting to the age where I am starting to get it, but I'm starting to see things wildly differently.
00:30:45.280 We both realize that time is speeding up, that time is shorter than either of us think.
00:30:51.180 But I think only with time, with age, can you understand the value of those things you trade for time.
00:31:00.840 my grandparents my parents told me when i was younger
00:31:06.620 they told me things that i i just didn't understand you know
00:31:10.780 those are the things they told me when i was younger i heard but didn't understand
00:31:17.520 maybe you can't under understand until you've lived long enough to see the pattern
00:31:22.640 but older people
00:31:26.980 older people used to tell me
00:31:29.140 all of the time
00:31:30.080 that
00:31:30.880 they would say
00:31:33.680 time just goes by so fast
00:31:35.980 it just goes so fast
00:31:37.820 well
00:31:38.780 when you're young
00:31:41.060 that really sounds ridiculous
00:31:42.600 a year feels
00:31:45.300 like forever when you're 20
00:31:47.200 10 years feels like an entire
00:31:49.660 lifetime
00:31:50.360 but i'm beginning to understand what they meant life does not move at a constant speed
00:31:59.660 it moves really slowly until it doesn't
00:32:04.520 jason said something to me jason who does our research for the show and also is the host of
00:32:13.060 our insider broadcast that happens during this show on torch he said something this week that
00:32:19.280 He was quoting something you've probably heard, I heard a million times, but it hit me differently this week for two reasons.
00:32:26.780 One, with everything that's happening in the world.
00:32:28.740 He said, there are decades where nothing happens and then weeks where decades happen.
00:32:37.340 And that is very true in the world that Jason and I are living in right now on the radio and podcasting and news.
00:32:43.320 That's what's happening right now to the world.
00:32:44.980 But when it comes to life, it doesn't quite fit what I see in my life with my wife and kids and my mom celebrating her 83rd birthday.
00:33:03.580 Last night to celebrate her birthday was really simple.
00:33:06.020 We went to a small gelato shop in a small town called Stewart, Florida.
00:33:14.980 And I watched her pick out the flavors of gelato she wanted.
00:33:18.400 And we sat there and she said, why am I always the last to finish?
00:33:24.800 And my wife said, because you talk a lot.
00:33:28.840 But what she was doing was she was talking about the days that have just slipped by while life happened.
00:33:38.820 And that's when I heard that axiom differently.
00:33:41.220 Perhaps it's better stated, in everything that really matters, there are years where nothing seems to change.
00:33:54.220 And then there are these moments when everything has already changed before you even noticed it.
00:34:02.820 When did my children get taller?
00:34:05.940 Oh, I know, when I was busy working.
00:34:07.860 Our parents get older while we're busy planning.
00:34:15.680 The world is quietly rearranging itself while we're focused on the next thing.
00:34:22.000 And one day you realize that thing that people told you but never really explained clearly enough,
00:34:32.600 time is not something you spend.
00:34:35.020 It is something you trade.
00:34:37.860 and no one tells you that every day you're making trades.
00:34:46.440 You're trading your morning for a meeting,
00:34:51.280 dinner for returning phone calls or emails.
00:34:55.280 You trade patience for exhaustion.
00:34:57.860 You tell yourself, how many times have I said this?
00:35:00.260 It's just this season.
00:35:01.800 It'll slow down.
00:35:02.980 you trade a bedtime story
00:35:05.960 for just one more thing
00:35:08.240 you trade
00:35:14.240 walks
00:35:15.840 to get the laundry done
00:35:18.780 you trade
00:35:21.180 being really present
00:35:23.600 for just getting through the day
00:35:26.140 and it feels normal
00:35:29.660 and everybody does it
00:35:32.180 but here's the part you don't get
00:35:36.640 until you notice things have passed
00:35:40.400 trades don't cost you right away
00:35:44.080 they compound and they show up later
00:35:47.620 when your children move out
00:35:51.780 or your child doesn't reach for your hand as much
00:35:54.040 when you can't remember the last time
00:35:59.140 you were really excited
00:36:01.500 when your life is really loud but somehow empty.
00:36:13.320 You don't notice it week to week.
00:36:16.560 You notice it once years have passed.
00:36:23.080 I saw this Instagram post last night.
00:36:26.800 It said, you notice it when the photos on your phone
00:36:30.540 carry more memories than your body does.
00:36:39.840 I don't remember anybody sitting me down and saying,
00:36:42.460 be careful what you trade away,
00:36:45.560 because the quiet trades are the permanent ones.
00:36:49.720 And I don't know if I would have gotten it.
00:36:55.100 So let me just say this.
00:36:56.800 today be aware of what you're trading
00:37:01.120 hold their hand a second longer
00:37:05.260 put your phone down mid-scroll
00:37:08.940 say no to something that doesn't matter
00:37:12.580 and say yes to something that does
00:37:14.600 just today
00:37:15.720 because
00:37:17.480 life isn't made in the big moments
00:37:22.520 and that's what I have lived my whole life thinking
00:37:25.120 it's made of all the tiny ones you didn't realize
00:37:29.880 were important until they were gone
00:37:31.480 and you've traded it away for
00:37:34.060 money, ambition, comfort, convenience
00:37:38.340 peace of mind
00:37:40.100 and some of those trades just are not worth it
00:37:44.280 some of them you only realize
00:37:48.400 were real mistakes years later
00:37:50.180 be careful what you trade away
00:37:54.880 Be careful what you trade your time for
00:37:58.660 because time doesn't give refunds.
00:38:05.460 Thanks for teaching me that, Mom.
00:38:14.400 Even though I don't think you knew you were teaching me that.
00:38:20.060 We love you.
00:38:24.880 I really love having you down the hall.
00:38:28.820 And thanks for the years of worry, the prayers, and your wisdom.
00:38:36.500 Back in a minute.
00:38:43.280 Sleep.
00:38:45.540 You can't bank it.
00:38:47.320 You can't say, you know what, I'm going to give 12 hours tonight so I can skip sleeping tomorrow.
00:38:53.020 It would be amazing if you could do that, but the sad truth is it doesn't work that way.
00:38:56.720 Your body needs real rest night after night, and when you don't get it, when your sleep is shallow or interrupted, you feel it the next day.
00:39:04.160 Your thinking isn't as sharp, your energy isn't the same, and everything just feels a little harder than it should.
00:39:09.460 That's why so many people have started paying more attention to how well they're actually sleeping.

00:39:59.580 you ever notice how we'll research a car for like three months and we'll compare every feature and
00:40:15.620 read reviews and watch videos endlessly and then when it comes to a mattress the thing we spend a
00:40:21.240 third of our life on we just sort of lie down on one for 30 seconds at a store and go yeah that
00:40:26.820 seems fine i guess that used to be me i didn't think about much honestly about what i was sleeping
00:40:32.140 on uh i wasn't you know if i wasn't falling off the edge i figured it was doing its job right but
00:40:36.660 i actually tried a ghost bed and i realized how much i had been settling now i some changes have
00:40:43.200 happened recently in my life which allowed me to actually sleep in for once and thank god i have a
00:40:48.880 ghost bed because it's not just like softer or firmer it felt like it was built to support your
00:40:54.080 body instead of just existing under it you know it's not like waking up stiff you're not overheating
00:40:58.300 in the middle of the night you're not constantly shifting around to find the one position that
00:41:02.600 worked ghost bed designs uh what they call engineered sleep systems and it's you know
00:41:07.600 kind of what it feels like it's basically something built for recovery uh not just comfort
00:41:11.740 and you get 101 nights to try it out at home which means you can't blow it right it can't be a 30
00:41:16.900 second experience that you enjoy and then wind up hating it for 30 years this is something really
00:41:21.380 really uh you're gonna be able to be thorough on it turns out a mattress isn't just a mattress
00:41:25.120 it's either helping you reset or it's working against you so try ghost bed it's offering

00:41:38.720 jason and ricky let's catch up with the insiders comments from this hour
00:41:56.300 oh glenn you had everyone bawling including me i don't know how you did that because i had already
00:42:03.040 heard the monologue, seen the monologue,
00:42:05.500 and somehow you made me cry again.
00:42:06.620 But some of the insiders are saying
00:42:08.320 one girl named Torchy,
00:42:09.840 wonder where she got that name.
00:42:11.340 She said, oh, so you're telling me
00:42:13.520 I should put my phone down
00:42:14.580 and stop listening to you.
00:42:15.700 No, no, no.
00:42:16.700 Let's not be, let's not be crazy.
00:42:20.080 Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:21.080 Let's not be nuts.
00:42:22.040 Keep watching, Torchy.
00:42:23.780 And then Sandra, she says,
00:42:25.540 Glenn makes himself depressed.
00:42:27.260 And I don't think that's quite true.
00:42:29.180 No, you have no idea what it's like
00:42:30.540 to live in my head.
00:42:31.400 You don't want to live in here.
00:42:32.180 You don't want to live in here.
00:42:33.320 It's not a fun place to be.
00:42:35.840 Actually, I just feel things deeply sometimes.
00:42:38.720 And wish I would have said more to those who I love.
00:42:47.920 Or, I don't know.
00:42:49.660 I don't know.
00:42:50.120 I don't know what I'm feeling.
00:42:51.160 I don't know what I'm feeling.
00:42:52.040 But it's just.
00:42:53.180 Well, insiders are relating to it.
00:42:55.820 And I just heard Jason talk about it in the break where you were saying,
00:42:59.320 uh you you made a really good point on how we are we spend our life just trying to get through the
00:43:06.780 week just make it through to the weekend so you can relax or whatever and how was it you said
00:43:12.880 this jason that we wish our time away and how true that is yeah we're just we're just all trying
00:43:21.080 to get through today get through the week get through the month and things will change and
00:43:27.780 And everything changes, but it's not the stuff we wanted to change.
00:43:33.900 You know what I mean?
00:43:35.620 100%.
00:43:36.060 Yeah, I was reading a comment from Tammy that said,
00:43:38.040 be like a child because children live in the day, in the immediate,
00:43:41.760 and they don't worry about the future.
00:43:43.500 And we find ourselves constantly worrying about the future
00:43:45.920 until everything's gone.
00:43:47.740 That is something else that I've been thinking about a lot is worry.
00:43:52.140 The amount of time we have spent worrying about things that never happened,
00:43:56.960 let's stop worrying so much everyone in your family needs a plan for personal safety
00:44:04.520 i've got one your parents your children your spouse uh not everybody is comfortable carrying
00:44:12.900 a firearm that doesn't mean that they should be left without protection this is tear gas in uh
00:44:18.300 in my gun okay most situations do not carry do not call for a gun and if you're in the wrong
00:44:24.420 state and you pull a gun, you're in real trouble. The Burna launcher fires non-lethal deterrents
00:44:29.760 like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a range of up to 60 feet. One shot can incapacitate an
00:44:34.800 attacker for 40 minutes. That gives you time to escape. Legal in all 50 states, no permits,
00:44:40.460 no background checks. Compact launcher, small enough to conceal carry without drawing attention

00:45:53.980 is there's a handful of journalists that i really really respect and at the top of that list is
00:46:02.060 cheryl ackerson uh cheryl five-time you know emmy award winner recipient of the edward r murrow
00:46:09.180 award for investigative reporting she was loved by everybody everybody until the world changed
00:46:17.020 and she refused to change with it she was like no i'm going to continue to tell the truth on
00:46:23.740 both sides and let the chips fall where they may. They tried everything they could to destroy her,
00:46:30.140 but instead she has built an empire for bestsellers, Follow the Science, How Big Pharma
00:46:35.780 Misleads, Obscures, and Prevails, Slanted, How the News Media Taught Us to Love Censorship and Hate
00:46:41.800 Journalism, The Smear, How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See,

00:46:52.860 award-winning Sunday morning national TV program, Full Measure, which focuses on investigative and
00:46:59.600 accountability reporting. And we need more journalists like Cheryl Atkinson. She joins me.
00:47:05.380 We're going to talk a little bit about illegal immigration and what is really going on. Hope to
00:47:11.580 touch on the SAVE Act and maybe some of the news of the day with Cheryl Atkinson here in 60 seconds.
00:47:17.060 First, my commercial sponsor is my company.
00:47:20.360 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:47:23.400 You know, real estate agents make a huge difference.
00:47:28.700 You know, there's a great real estate agent that is waiting for you to call.
00:47:33.160 I mean, maybe they're not literally sitting by the phone, but they, you know, hopefully
00:47:36.400 they have other clients, but they're out showing homes, negotiating offers, trying to keep
00:47:40.500 a deal from falling apart over something like a leaky faucet.
00:47:43.960 But there are great agents out there.
00:47:46.720 And the challenge is finding those agents.

00:47:55.420 They'll walk into a house where you really like it, and they know you like it.
00:47:58.820 And they'll say, not the one to get.
00:48:00.500 Don't trust me on this.
00:48:01.500 Not the one to get.
00:48:02.240 It's so important to have that.
00:48:04.960 When you do settle on a house, somebody that has negotiated a great price for your house,
00:48:10.060 So you've sold that one and a great agent that can help you get the best price and the
00:48:15.400 best deal on the new house.

00:48:25.660 We'll help you find the right agent, realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:48:32.380 Cheryl, welcome to the program.
00:48:34.900 Great to be here.
00:48:36.320 It's been a while.
00:48:37.180 Nice to be back.
00:48:38.160 I know.
00:48:39.500 it's it's always good to have you um we i guess we we should just start with the
00:48:46.240 illegal immigration uh problem um the the problem that i don't understand is first people will say
00:48:54.340 you know illegal immigrants they don't commit crimes half at the number that the citizen uh
00:49:02.560 actually commits and yet we're seeing people now killed on the streets uh robbed raped etc etc
00:49:10.660 by illegals and i'm not saying all illegals are like this i'm not saying all any group is like
00:49:15.280 this but we have lost the ability to seemingly even care about the crime if it's an illegal
00:49:24.400 doing it can you set the record straight on what the numbers actually say and what's really
00:49:30.960 happening and why we don't care i'm so surprised that more people haven't reported this and i
00:49:37.900 started reporting it at cbs news and i've continued at full measure so we'll go over a couple of facts
00:49:43.880 because this is hard evidence a lot of when a lot of what you hear when you hear people say
00:49:47.960 they're more law abiding than u.s citizens comes from partial data misconstruing all kinds of
00:49:56.200 problems with their, you know, partial reports. But there's really hard evidence that a lot of
00:50:01.240 people are ignoring for some reason that came in a 2018 analysis by the GAO. And it looked at how
00:50:09.280 many illegal immigrants are in our prisons and jails. That's a great hard measure of how many
00:50:15.480 compared to U.S. citizens are caught committing crimes and serving time. Well, in 2011, listen to
00:50:21.620 this. The criminal alien proportion of the total estimated federal inmate population was 25%.
00:50:29.180 So think about that. 2011, this is even before the big surge. One in four federal inmates was
00:50:36.580 an illegal immigrant, but they only accounted for something like less than 7% of the population.
00:50:43.100 So they're committing crimes, if you look at the data in prisons and jails, at a huge rate compared
00:50:49.400 to u.s citizens and by the way that's partial data because not all prisons and jails were
00:50:55.500 reporting illegal immigrants so gao was basically taking what information was reported it's
00:51:01.560 significantly worse since we we just know about the subset so um then look at the cost again
00:51:08.040 wait wait wait before you move on let me play step let me play devil's advocate the media on
00:51:14.120 the left and everybody else would say no that's just that they go to jail more you know other
00:51:18.960 people get away with it that's what they would say well yes you can spend the numbers however
00:51:25.160 you wish um however the hard numbers i just think are evidence of you know that's evidence for me
00:51:32.440 that's hard to argue with um these are people you know you look at they also will tell you how many
00:51:38.080 have committed what crimes let's look at a different number than before we go on to cost
00:51:43.240 they track some of this like in official data since 2000 we know illegal immigrants have
00:51:50.240 committed 5 million serious crimes approximately including 200,000 robberies 100,000 rapes sexual
00:51:58.080 assaults 30,000 murders which I tried to find a city about that size that's equivalent to the
00:52:04.320 population about of Santa Fe New Mexico murdered by illegal immigrants that we know of since 2000
00:52:10.580 And there's examples you never hear on the news, in part because a lot of reporters won't report when they're illegal immigrants.
00:52:18.760 A lot of prosecutors' offices won't say when their suspects are.
00:52:22.960 But, for example, there's triple murders, you know, quadruple murder spree in 2015, a five-time murder.
00:52:31.660 Did you hear about that in 2023?
00:52:34.060 In Cut and Shoot, Texas, an illegal immigrant deported five times, murdered five people when he came back.
00:52:40.780 So I just think this is a serious issue we too often have been propagandized into not talking about because we've been told the facts are uncomfortable.
00:52:51.620 And I just think facts are facts.
00:52:57.160 So why, when you see these, I am so shocked.
00:53:01.840 I was shocked by the State of the Union, you know, on several things.
00:53:06.100 But when you don't have people stand up and say, no, the American citizen has to be protected first because we're Americans, not the illegals.
00:53:17.560 And you see the crimes that have been committed, and you couldn't get the people on the left to stand up and recognize the victims.
00:53:29.620 What is wrong with us, Cheryl?
00:53:31.080 What has happened to half of the country?
00:53:36.100 I just think we've been, you know, as you and I have discussed in the past, almost wholly taken over in terms of our information landscape by a minority of people who want things to look a certain way and convince many others not to talk about things or bully them into keeping their mouth shut or spin things in a way that becomes so ubiquitous that the American public really doesn't know the difference if they're not doing their own research.
00:54:02.860 and you know it's frightening to see people spending so much time and effort for example
00:54:08.560 some of our political leaders protecting illegal immigrants and yet not devoting any attention to
00:54:16.020 the people they've murdered and to the families i mean there are so many you know this is another
00:54:21.140 issue that i just don't see covered very much there are so many unintentional drunk driving
00:54:27.700 and driving accidents that kill people by illegal immigrants you i tried to quantify them of course
00:54:33.680 again nobody's tracking them by status of their citizenship but i've reported on so many i've
00:54:40.140 interviewed so many victims this is commonplace that they come to this country and get in accidents
00:54:44.520 or have duis and kill people um again it's having a huge i believe it's having a huge impact on our
00:54:51.100 country based on the evidence in ways that are really not focused on and even if you want to
00:54:57.060 even if the numbers hang on just a second even if the numbers were not what you just showed them to
00:55:03.400 be people will say well there's more crime yeah but this is all unnecessary crime this is all
00:55:09.420 unnecessary this crime these killings these the the drunk driving none of those would have happened
00:55:15.340 if they weren't here i mean i mean hello this is so unnecessary
00:55:23.040 i mean to lose a loved one for any reason horrible but to lose a loved one at the hands of somebody
00:55:32.320 that you know shouldn't have been here and if we'd have been doing our job enforcing the law
00:55:36.280 wouldn't be here that just must be really hard to live with
00:55:39.740 how how do you think the save act plays out
00:55:45.900 look i'm not a great political expert i'd love to hear your thoughts but it sounds like it's
00:55:52.780 not going to go anywhere you know despite having a majority big majority of the american public
00:55:57.520 behind it this shows you glenn i think as well as anything that congress does not serve the will of
00:56:04.360 people. I've long argued and I've had members up there even say so in interviews. Their agenda is
00:56:11.380 now set by, their bills are now written by lobbyists for specific interests, not by what we
00:56:17.460 want. If it's something that the public wants, a lot of times it's just going to go by the wayside.
00:56:22.680 But if it's something that a powerful interest is lobbying for, a powerful company is paying
00:56:27.120 them to address, suddenly there's bills that are flying through as fast as can be. I was up on the
00:56:33.080 I talked to members of Democrats and Republicans doing some stories for full measure.
00:56:37.880 And as an aside, I mentioned to each one of these members that based on my research, I thought the plastics issue, you know, what's showing up in our bodies and our environment, how serious it is, deserves immediate emergency attention.
00:56:53.340 But the plastic, except for critical services and medical purposes, should be banned immediately.
00:57:00.280 And every single member agreed with me.
00:57:03.080 But there's nothing moving on the Hill about that because that's an interest of the people, but there's no lobbyist up there trying to get them to, you know, pay them to ban plastic.
00:57:12.800 So it's just a great example of where their priorities lie.
00:57:17.260 They're set by corporate interests who donate to them and rule their committees.
00:57:21.900 They're not set by us and what we want.
00:57:24.900 And I think this is a, you know, I read a quote from Thomas Jefferson the other day, where the people are well informed.
00:57:33.080 they can be trusted with their own government.
00:57:35.840 He didn't say well-educated.
00:57:37.300 He said well-informed.
00:57:39.920 Our people are not well-informed.
00:57:45.340 A lot of that is due to the changing landscape,
00:57:50.080 I believe, with the internet.
00:57:52.100 It just made it where the people wanting to manipulate information,
00:57:56.400 that's been going on forever.
00:57:59.320 It became easier when they understood on the front end
00:58:02.500 and studied how to manipulate social media wikipedia our sources of information google
00:58:09.300 they got on that right away before we knew what to do about it and you know if you can manipulate
00:58:15.280 information at the source how easy does it become to influence the masses compared to in the past
00:58:22.220 do you think we're getting better or worse i mean i've i've noticed what cbs is doing and i don't
00:58:28.320 know if cbs can you know bail themselves out and redeem themselves but there are times when i'm
00:58:33.080 looking at cbs and i'm like wait what i mean that's legitimate news um are we getting better
00:58:40.480 or is it or we just keep going down down a rabbit hole i mean with ai coming it you know goodbye to
00:58:48.880 the question is yeah is the pendulum swinging or is it stuck you know it's always you wonder but
00:58:54.740 But I will tell you, there are four news groups, national news groups, and a very, very liberal graduate school of journalism that will ask me to apply to lead them in the last year.
00:59:09.100 And they explicitly were saying this is at the corporate level.
00:59:12.680 They understand they have a problem and they want to send a message.
00:59:16.340 These are main big organizations you've talked about, and you just talked about one of them, that are really trying to pull back from where they've been and let the public know and understand and send a message that they're changing.
00:59:29.420 I don't know if that's because Trump's president now or because the pendulum's swinging.
00:59:33.380 They understand they've gone so far.
00:59:35.320 But I think that's a really – that's a potentially positive sign.
00:59:38.820 The problem is, you know, in these newsrooms, the inmates are running the asylum.
00:59:43.380 And as I discussed with some of the people that I just I talked about, it's impossible at this stage for one person to write the ship.
00:59:52.900 It's you know, they get it. You see what happens at The New York Times.
00:59:56.300 There's been stories in the past 10 years of, you know, when there's an editorial person trying to do the right thing and the crazies that are, you know, speaking out and trying to set agendas instead of reporting the news, they win.
01:00:08.980 And it's you know, I think that's happened in a lot of newsrooms. It's just gone too far.
01:00:12.660 So it'll be interesting to see if the corporations stick with it and stand behind the people, for example, at CBS that are trying to put things back closer to the middle.
01:00:23.220 I don't know how that ends.
01:00:26.160 Cheryl, if you don't mind hanging on for one minute, I want to go back to illegal immigration.
01:00:29.680 And I want to talk to you about some of the things we're seeing now with possible sleeper cells, et cetera, et cetera, again, that we're ignoring.
01:00:38.120 and what are the ramifications of no DHS money at the same time?
01:00:43.140 Cheryl Atkinson joins us in just a second.

01:01:00.140 your identity.

01:01:04.560 take out a loan, buy a house, even file your taxes.
01:01:07.020 And if somebody else gets access to it, they can start doing those things in your name.

01:01:51.040 10 seconds.
01:01:51.820 Station ID and back with Sherry.
01:02:03.880 Cheryl, years ago when I was on Fox, I was mocked and mocked and mocked for what is now known as the Green-Red Alliance.
01:02:10.600 I said the Islamists, the Marxists, the communists, the anarchists will all work together to destabilize the Middle East, Europe.
01:02:18.420 And their real target is Israel and the United States.
01:02:24.120 And it will spread over here.
01:02:26.540 We now see that in play like crazy.
01:02:29.360 And it's quite obvious.
01:02:30.520 but we have turned a blind eye to it i think the administration is looking into the uh the
01:02:37.740 the financial ties to all of these which i hope but we have you know i don't even know how many
01:02:44.040 illegals we have let come in 10 million 15 20 million come in over the last you know few years
01:02:49.840 how many of them could be sleeper cells and what happens if we don't get serious
01:02:58.320 and let our DHS do their job and actually start deporting some of these people as well
01:03:07.460 i mean that's a serious concern and once again i just feel like it's on the back burner that we're
01:03:15.320 cajoled into not talking about it or told that it's racist to bring these things up or that
01:03:22.920 you're painting everybody with a broad brush which is not what's happening at all when you
01:03:27.040 discuss these realities but that's that's what we're led to think so that we can't have the
01:03:32.420 discussion it's a it's a serious concern i heard a number the other day by an official i think he
01:03:36.880 said 10 000 known terrorist linked people coming into the u.s in the last couple of years
01:03:43.920 um something like 1500 of them from iran these are these are huge numbers and those are just
01:03:50.400 the ones that we know of yep um let me play uh let me play a clip this is abby phillips from cnn
01:03:57.540 talking about the uh the attempted terrorist attack in new york over the weekend listen
01:04:04.100 how she describes this i'd love to hear your analysis of this abby phillips cnn go ahead
01:04:09.480 Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted terror attack against New York's mayor, Zoran Mamdani.
01:04:17.340 And the House Speaker, Mike Johnson, says nothing really to condemn those comments.
01:04:22.200 Another special guest is going to be with us at the table.
01:04:24.980 OK, stop. Did you hear how she how she couched that after a attempted terrorist attack on New York City Mayor Mamdani?
01:04:35.580 He wasn't the target of that attack.
01:04:39.480 it's just uh part and parcel what we expect today from the news media they're not news reporters and
01:04:47.820 they're being taught in journalism schools to do this and they're being rewarded for taking a
01:04:53.180 position and you see political operatives are being hired at the news stations there's fewer
01:04:59.060 and fewer so-called reporters you can still find straight reporting done on cnn and fox and all
01:05:05.820 but it's harder because the main figures, they tend to be, you know, political operatives who've
01:05:12.100 now gone into news and are rewarded for the commentary. And there's very little separation
01:05:17.600 between them anymore. But yeah, that how they characterize and cover things, you wouldn't have,
01:05:24.680 when I worked at CNN a long time ago, we wouldn't have dreamed as anchors, we didn't have to be told
01:05:31.220 to keep our opinions out of the news. We wouldn't have dreamed of putting them in. Who cares what
01:05:35.680 our opinions were. It's just so shockingly different now to see in a pretty short period
01:05:40.500 of time how much everything's changed with that. Yeah, I've said recently, I'm just so tired of
01:05:47.020 everybody having an opinion, including me. I mean, I just like America has too many opinions. I mean,
01:05:53.640 you don't need my opinion. It has too many opinions. What we need are facts. That's what
01:05:58.320 we need. Less opinion, more actual hard facts. And I appreciate you bringing that to the country
01:06:04.940 every day thank you so much cheryl god bless you well i appreciate you as well thanks glenn
01:06:09.180 you bet cheryl atkinson uh investigative reporter and host of full measure if you've never seen that
01:06:16.060 you need to find it uh you can find her at cheryl atkinson.com that's cheryl atkinson.com
01:06:22.080 or follow her on x at cheryl atkinson more in a minute we have uh former dhs uh big wig chad
01:06:30.100 wolf on with us he's going to talk about what we were just saying with cheryl what's coming
01:06:36.380 all right our international fellowship of christians and jews is the sponsor sometimes
01:06:41.340 there's a moment in history that tests nation it tests communities and sometimes it tests
01:06:46.560 ordinary families who have never expected to be living through extraordinary moments and right
01:06:52.080 now in israel there are families trying to live their lives in the middle of one of those
01:06:55.240 extraordinary moments parents are doing their best to keep their children calm elderly are
01:07:00.220 trying to hold on to a sense of normal life just getting to the shelter for a lot of these elderly
01:07:04.640 people is so tough and communities are leaning on each other in ways they never imagined they'd
01:07:09.140 have to and in the middle of all that the international fellowship of christians and
01:07:12.840 jews is there working on the ground to provide food emergency supplies care for children support

01:07:52.620 people talk about islam in the west become a member today to watch it live only at glennbeck.com
01:07:57.780 slash torch all right welcome to the uh welcome to the program we're talking to chad wolf he is
01:08:19.320 the America First Policy Institute, Homeland Security Immigration Chair.
01:08:23.120 He's also the former DHS acting secretary.
01:08:26.960 And I wanted to get him on because the Democrats still are not, you know,
01:08:32.860 are not allowing DHS to be funded.
01:08:36.400 And that is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
01:08:39.380 I mean, at this time, what are you trying to get us all killed?
01:08:44.220 Chad Wolf is here with us now.
01:08:46.100 um chad the headlines today in some cities are you got to get to the airport super super early
01:08:52.460 because you might be in line for several hours because people are you know not showing up for
01:08:58.520 work i mean i don't know if i would either but not showing up for work uh you know it's it's
01:09:04.260 overwhelming the system that i don't think should be the headline i think the headline is what's
01:09:09.400 being missed at the airports because of the shutdown how safe are we chad yeah well thanks
01:09:16.480 for having me on i i agree with you i think there's two issues at play here one is requiring
01:09:22.560 dhs workers and in this case uh you know airport officers and screeners to do have to go to have
01:09:29.700 to go to work do their job but not get paid to do it and then the second piece that you rightfully
01:09:34.900 point out is the security aspect of that. And so this hits hardest probably in our airports,
01:09:40.740 but there are other parts of DHS that are impacted as well, because a lot of these screeners at
01:09:47.240 airports are living paycheck to paycheck. And after they miss one or two paychecks,
01:09:54.520 you know, what we're starting to see, and you indicated long lines at airports, is they start
01:09:59.200 to call out. They start to call out sick because they have to go drive an Uber. They've got to pick
01:10:03.760 up another part-time job to pay the rent, the mortgage, or put food on the table. And so that
01:10:10.000 becomes a problem. It becomes a problem for the traveling public, and it becomes an inconvenience.
01:10:14.860 But the security aspect of it is, even if they show up for work, I would want them totally
01:10:22.060 focused and committed on their job at hand. What I don't want are screeners at the airport
01:10:27.480 going through the motions, but really their mind is, how do I support my family? How do I support
01:10:33.160 my family and and pissed off i know you know if i'm pissed off at a company i don't do my best
01:10:39.040 work and i don't think that these people you know intentionally would let something go through or
01:10:44.660 anything like that i mean they're still americans and they're human beings but it is it's just part
01:10:49.920 of being human you know it is wrong to ask them to step up to the plate and come in for a long
01:10:57.220 period of time because there doesn't seem to be any indication that this is going to end soon
01:11:01.100 Democrats just don't seem to care about. Yeah. No. And I think what's the frustrating thing is
01:11:06.980 this is entirely preventable. It's, you know, particularly at a time when we have conflicts
01:11:11.260 with Iran and, you know, very, very dangerous world in which we live in the fact that we would
01:11:17.100 not fund the Department of Homeland Security that is hand in glove with the Department of War,
01:11:22.600 making sure that we're keeping the homeland and everyday Americans safe is just bizarre.
01:11:28.620 It's bizarre to me that the Democrats can continue to hold out on this position.
01:11:34.020 And it's a little, you know, I don't know.
01:11:36.100 I haven't seen any polling or anything, but I suspect that the American people do not support this.
01:11:42.180 No. And as the lines get longer, it's going to get worse.
01:11:45.680 And then people will know who's responsible because, I mean, I was just talking to Cheryl Atkinson and she said, you know, she had just seen a report.
01:11:54.460 10,000 known terrorists, uh, have been on our radar that have come into the country,
01:12:00.520 1500 from Iran. Um, how bad is the possible terror network here in America?
01:12:11.580 Well, uh, it's bad, right? We, we talked about four years of the Biden administration. So over
01:12:16.900 the course of four years, you had, you had over 11 to 12 million individuals come into the United
01:12:23.020 States, over 18,000 known or suspected terrorists, right? The National Counterterrorism Center just
01:12:28.500 testified about that. Over 18,000 known or suspected terrorists tried to enter the country
01:12:33.880 during Joe Biden's tenure, and a variety of them made it in. And so you combine that with the
01:12:40.960 existing networks of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other proxies that have been here in the United States
01:12:47.180 since the 80s, more or less. And it starts to paint a picture of a real kind of heightened
01:12:54.820 risk and threat environment. Now, we have an outstanding law enforcement apparatus, FBI,
01:13:00.760 Joint Terrorism Task Forces, and other things that keep the American people safe. But we're
01:13:04.900 asking so much of them because we don't know who really is in the country. Because I said it at
01:13:11.760 the time, and I think we're facing it right now, is the four years of the Biden administration,
01:13:16.480 We won't really know the destructive nature of their immigration policies for years and years to come.
01:13:23.240 And I think we are staring down the barrel of that right now.
01:13:27.540 Big time.
01:13:28.500 I have to tell you, I would never talk about this on the air.
01:13:31.220 I would love to be a part of a red cell team just on terror because I have wargamed this out since 2001.
01:13:37.180 And there are things that I don't understand why terrorists haven't done.
01:13:41.900 Again, I wouldn't say any of it on the air.
01:13:43.720 But I got to tell you, we are very vulnerable and it doesn't take a lot of people to pull off some really, truly devastating things in our country.
01:13:56.500 Again, I would agree with that.
01:13:57.980 I think we have, again, certainly a risk of, you know, either cells or loaned individuals doing a variety of different things here in the United States.
01:14:08.540 And we've seen some of that, unfortunately, and we'll continue to do that.
01:14:12.500 I think the threat environment that we're in today is as high as we've probably seen it.
01:14:18.580 And you see that with the IEDs in New York City and elsewhere. So again, I go back to not funding
01:14:26.320 the department is absolutely crazy that you're going to have the airport workers, you're going
01:14:32.180 to have the men and women of the Coast Guard, also very junior, live paycheck to paycheck in
01:14:38.180 some instances as well you know they're hand in glove overseas with with the navy down in the
01:14:42.940 caribbean and again you want them totally focused and they're professionals they will be focused but
01:14:47.840 they're human as you indicated and they're going to be worried about their family because when
01:14:51.780 they're deployed you know that paycheck needs to come in to make sure that their their wife their
01:14:56.760 kids their family are taken care of and that's going to be on their mind as well are you are
01:15:03.040 Are you more concerned about places like Dearborn and Minneapolis, or is it all around the country?
01:15:10.460 I mean, are there particular hotspots that we should be watching and concerned about?
01:15:17.900 Yeah, I think my concern is throughout the country.
01:15:20.980 I understand the Dearborn reference, but I think if you are an individual with bad motives that you're going to target,
01:15:32.060 You could target iconic landmarks, things that get high visibility, obviously New York City, Los Angeles, your big cities pop up there.
01:15:42.020 But those cities also have the best infrastructure in law enforcement, right?
01:15:46.540 And those targets have been hardened over the past several decades.
01:15:50.200 So maybe you're perhaps looking to a softer target.
01:15:52.980 Or perhaps you're going to lay in wait, right, because the threat environment and law enforcement is on their guard right now.
01:16:00.000 But perhaps you wait until the summer, until the World Cup arrives and you decide to do something there at a stadium and a mass gathering of some kind.
01:16:09.260 So you can see all of the implications out there of really kind of what the challenge is today here and here in the homeland.
01:16:18.700 We are sitting at a time where we are now at war with the biggest terror organization and funder of terrorism in the world with Iran.
01:16:27.320 And, you know, they have allies of China and Russia.
01:16:32.660 And doesn't DHS also look at all of our cyber protection?
01:16:38.420 I mean, how vulnerable are we with cyber now?
01:16:42.200 Yeah, absolutely.
01:16:43.460 They certainly have a, you know, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, or CISA, as it's referred to, has a big role there.
01:16:50.920 Now, it's mainly defensive posture because what they try to do is not only protecting government networks, but it's important to remember that about 85 percent of our critical infrastructure, such as water, you know, waste treatment plants, water plants and the like, are privately owned.
01:17:08.060 And so CISA provides a lot of intelligence and a lot of capabilities to those private sector companies to make sure that their cybersecurity hygiene and measures are up to date.
01:17:18.520 And you've got about two-thirds of that agency that are not working because of the shutdown today.
01:17:24.140 So that's really, really concerning as well.
01:17:26.560 So aviation, cyber, obviously the border and others that DHS does, it's all being impacted.
01:17:35.900 Now, look, 85% of the employees at DHS are exempt from the shutdown, which means they have to go to work.
01:17:42.740 Even if they're not getting paid, they still have to work.
01:17:45.200 That's so wrong.
01:17:46.020 As we've talked about, as this drags on, you know, they could be six weeks without getting a paycheck.
01:17:52.520 And even when the government opens back up, it's not like they get paid the next day.
01:17:56.960 It's going to take two to three weeks for that back pay to come in.
01:18:01.060 So, again, you can see how this could draw out for eight weeks.
01:18:05.000 And we're asking these agents and officers, 75,000 law enforcement officers at the Department of Homeland Security,
01:18:11.740 We're asking them to risk their lives every day to protect Americans, and Congress can't even give them the pay.
01:18:19.080 I would say the low pay that we paid them, but they can't even do that.
01:18:24.060 I think it sends absolutely the wrong message on a variety of different fronts.
01:18:30.580 We heard last week that one of the last things that happened as we were bombing Iran at the very beginning
01:18:37.440 was there seemed to be some encrypted message that went out
01:18:41.120 and they were talking about the possibility
01:18:42.920 that that was an activation of sleeper cells.
01:18:46.280 Do you have any indication that's real?
01:18:49.940 Yeah, I saw that public reporting as well.
01:18:52.520 And just what I saw, I can't ascertain on how real that is,
01:18:56.800 on whether that's just some reporting
01:18:58.860 or whether that is truly what the intelligence community has picked up on.
01:19:03.900 But regardless of that, I think as soon as, you know, as soon as conflicts, kinetic conflicts start to happen overseas in Iran, the Department of Homeland Security goes, shields up, right, on a variety of different fronts.
01:19:19.980 So even whether or not this went out or not, they are doing everything that they can during a shutdown, mind you, to protect a variety, you know, all the different, you know, from a maritime perspective or a cyber perspective or a border perspective, or how do we screen travelers coming into the country?
01:19:40.480 Obviously, CBP does that on a real world basis. And so they will augment all of their apparatus to look for suspicious activities around proxies tied to the Iranian regime and others.
01:19:58.880 And so the threat environment as a threat environment picks up the alertness and what you're looking for across the department as you screen travelers and do other things also picks up as well.
01:20:13.680 Chad, if you were still the, you know, acting DHS secretary, what advice would you give to the American people today?
01:20:21.420 yeah i would say look you know continue your lives continuing what you do each and every day but
01:20:30.060 but have some awareness around what you do um it's you know if you go out and you you want to
01:20:38.000 go out to dinner and you want to eat on a sidewalk that's fine just have a little bit more awareness
01:20:43.960 of your surroundings and and where you're at and um making sure that you're you know continuing to
01:20:50.920 understand kind of the threat environment the United States is. And I wouldn't say you need
01:20:58.020 to disrupt or change your pattern. I think that's what the terrorists want us to do. So don't give
01:21:04.560 them that satisfaction, but be aware of your surroundings and understand kind of the situation
01:21:10.940 that we're in. Are we at more risk because of the funding coupled with Mullen in transition?
01:21:20.920 Does that compound this problem?
01:21:24.420 I, you know, the transition of a new secretary coming in, I hope it happens very soon because it helps.
01:21:31.100 It does help to stabilize the department.
01:21:32.720 But look, there are a lot of professionals at the department underneath the secretary at all of the operating components that are doing their job right now.
01:21:41.480 Um, and, and so I have a lot of faith because I know a lot of them, um, that they're going
01:21:47.080 to do that regardless of, of what is happening at the secretarial level.
01:21:51.280 Now we need to get Senator Mullen in there and in there quickly to again, stabilize.
01:21:56.460 And hopefully because he's coming from Congress, hopefully can break the log jam on DHS funding.
01:22:01.980 But I would say my overall concern is just the overall threat environment that we are
01:22:07.540 now in, tied with
01:22:09.520 the lack of funding for the department.
01:22:12.960 Thank you
01:22:13.520 so much, Chad. I appreciate it. Really appreciate it.
01:22:15.620 Thanks for all that you do. God bless.
01:22:17.360 Yep, thanks. Appreciate it.
01:22:18.980 That's Chad Wolf, former
01:22:21.360 acting secretary of
01:22:22.860 DHS. I have to tell you, I'm
01:22:25.380 flying, I have to be
01:22:26.820 in two different cities this week by
01:22:29.300 Friday afternoon,
01:22:30.880 and my first stop is in Phoenix
01:22:32.940 to give a speech here on Thursday. So I'm
01:22:35.420 going to be flying through these airports, and
01:22:37.140 I have to tell you, please, if you're traveling, thank the TSA that are showing up.
01:22:43.720 The stress that they're under right now with their own families.
01:22:47.660 None of these people make a lot of money.
01:22:49.480 The stress that they're under thinking they got to go to work here, but what are they going to do now that they're not getting paid?
01:22:56.080 Can you imagine that stress?
01:22:58.280 I mean, you are under enough stress as it is.
01:23:01.140 Imagine the stress of, yeah, well, I have to go to work.
01:23:03.760 I can't get a second job because I have to go to work.
01:23:07.140 doing this and they're not paying me thank them for showing up to work all right back in a minute
01:23:13.480 how long could your household run if the grocery store didn't open tomorrow you know not forever
01:23:20.020 but maybe a week maybe two because most of us live in a world where food is always there trucks
01:23:25.260 arrive 18 times your average grocery store is restocked 18 times a day and if you need something
01:23:31.560 that you know you have to drive just a few minutes and pick it up no problem but that system works
01:23:36.840 only as long as everything is running perfectly a major storm a supply disruption or any kind of
01:23:41.880 serious emergency can change that very quickly that's why so many families including mine keep

01:27:27.060 but there is no internet at all it's completely dark and so i dm'd uh elon musk and asked him
01:27:36.980 if he had plans to position any starlings over cuba well i want to give you his answer and then

01:29:10.660 amazing how quiet the media and everybody else is on Cuba. You're about to see Cubans be free.
01:29:19.620 I mean, something that we just didn't think could happen.
01:29:24.020 Cubans are, uh, Cuba, the government of Cuba is under such stress right now because, you
01:29:30.040 know, the Trump administration said, ah, you know what?
01:29:32.860 Uh, you're not gonna, you're not gonna get any help from, uh, Russia or China or anybody
01:29:37.540 else.
01:29:37.920 And, um, you're kind of on your own now and we're going to enforce that.
01:29:41.740 And you know what you should do is you should free your people and step down and they're
01:29:48.400 actually considering it now and people are out on the street now that remember these are people who
01:29:52.780 have no communication to the outside world okay if you're in cuba ricky you went to cuba recently
01:29:59.600 didn't you oh glenn don't get me in trouble it was back in 2014 communist um yeah when when you
01:30:05.020 could go to cuba it was for journalism yeah when you could go to cuba uh you went to cuba and uh
01:30:11.780 and how how good was the internet there oh my gosh it was terrible i was staying in
01:30:15.760 an airbnb that's a whole nother story um but you have to go what are you insane
01:30:22.100 yeah long story anyways i went to an airbnb i couldn't get internet there i said where do i
01:30:27.700 get internet and they said you got to go to these big sort of american-like hotels or you know
01:30:32.780 hotels where canadians and americans or yeah westerners tend to go and they will have a way
01:30:38.440 for you to access the internet it is very cumbersome it's expensive it's it was basically
01:30:44.260 dial up now this was you know a little over 10 years ago it's possible it's improved now
01:30:48.700 but it's very very hard to get uh basically footage out from the protest the footage that
01:30:55.620 you've seen coming from cuba recently it's very limited so if if they have internet it's crap
01:31:02.120 and i'm sure they don't have the kind of internet that would help you broadcast a revolution
01:31:07.880 Yeah. So, um, I just DMed Elon Musk and I said, do you have any plans to position Starlinks over Cuba? Because you know, that that's what they need is information. If they could see what's happening around the world, it will only empower the people. And if we could see what they're seeing on the streets, it would empower the rest of the world.
01:31:31.360 And he said, yes, already done.
01:31:33.900 It works there.
01:31:35.180 The problem is terminals.
01:31:37.060 And I thought, well, what if somebody bought a bunch of terminals and then others took them and, you know, got them in?
01:31:52.500 Now, this is not what Elon would say, but it is dumb enough for me to say it.
01:32:00.500 There has got to be people that have connections in Cuba that live here in the United States.
01:32:07.860 I mean, think of all the people.
01:32:09.260 Do you know what's going to happen to Miami if Cuba falls?
01:32:13.000 Do you know what, how, I mean, it is going to be just a massive celebration.
01:32:18.280 Yes, but I'm also thinking about what would happen if people tried to smuggle terminals, Starlink terminals, into Cuba.
01:32:24.700 Because wasn't there a recent example?
01:32:27.000 Smuggle is such a harsh word.
01:32:28.640 People got shot at?
01:32:29.560 smuggle is a very harsh word and i would not encourage anyone to smuggle them in but if you
01:32:36.900 happen to be going and one happened to fall out with your family i don't know how that would happen
01:32:43.460 but uh i mean what are starlink you can get them like at home depot for what 300 400 something like
01:32:50.600 that right starling terminals uh retail at home depot around 350 and then go up to 600 yeah
01:32:57.280 i'm just saying and i might be willing i'd have to talk to my wife about this and probably an
01:33:03.780 attorney but i might be willing to buy you know the first batch i'm just saying i'm just saying
01:33:10.680 and that's all i'm saying that's all i'm saying it's just conjecture just it's it's a thought
01:33:19.980 experiment right we could find a an address where people could drop off these potential donated
01:33:27.740 starlink terminals well we would need somebody first that knew of a way and i don't want to
01:33:34.240 know about it i mean i don't want to be involved in anything like that that would be wrong but i'm
01:33:41.280 saying it would be cool if we had a system to where we could get the terminals and then you
01:33:51.120 would take them for free because you just need them for, I don't know, some farmland in Kansas.
01:33:59.800 And then we found out later that they actually somehow or another found their way into Cuba
01:34:05.360 and we're helping liberate Cuba. It would be wrong. And I'd be very disappointed if that
01:34:10.840 happened, but I'm just saying, I'm wondering, I think we need to talk to an attorney. I think
01:34:18.880 maybe we should talk to an attorney. I may have spoken too soon because I feel right now I'm very
01:34:24.380 against that. I'm very, very against, and I would be disappointed if anybody was out there thinking,
01:34:30.300 gee, I don't know, Glenn, I think there might be a way. You might express that to me,
01:34:35.540 but I might have to respond immediately. I would be very disappointed if you were involved in
01:34:40.800 anything like that i'm just saying because imagine imagine what it would be like if you could see
01:34:48.320 what was happening in venezuela you could see what was happening really see what was happening
01:34:52.900 in venezuela you could really see what was happening uh in um in iran and you could see
01:34:59.440 what the united states was doing in all of these places you would be like this is the moment would
01:35:05.800 Do not.
01:35:06.780 This is the moment.
01:35:08.480 You're not hearing any of that.
01:35:10.060 If you're living in Cuba, you're getting bits and pieces of it.
01:35:13.280 And just in the bits and pieces, they're already out on the streets.
01:35:17.920 I mean, this is really an exciting time to be alive.
01:35:21.720 Scary as hell, but an exciting time to be alive.
01:35:26.240 We're going to see things that, I mean, think about this.
01:35:29.240 I mean, I always, I mean, I know, I know I always, you know, if you listen to me every day, you probably spend.
01:35:35.800 three quarters of your life completely bummed out um because i tell you the things that i think are
01:35:41.240 gonna come and and sometimes actually that happened uh somehow we found uh a clip of you
01:35:48.160 back in june 2025 when you were hanging out of the ranch and you had a prediction about the war
01:35:52.820 in iran we have when june 2025 you predicted that it it could happen and uh we have that cut
01:36:02.840 it's play that cut now the american people are looking at donald trump going he just might do
01:36:09.660 it are we going to war he just might do it what do you think iran is saying
01:36:14.640 iran is saying the same thing good god he just did he just told us 60 days he's not bluffing
01:36:23.220 the guy doesn't bluff he's nuts he's insane whatever you want to say about him he's a
01:36:29.740 negotiator. And the one thing that Iran really doesn't understand, I think, is negotiating
01:36:36.020 from the best negotiator in the world. But I am afraid the American people don't understand that
01:36:42.340 either. Now, I could be wrong. So I'm not saying this is what's going on, but I believe this is
01:36:48.180 what's happening. I believe he's negotiating. And he will follow it up. But what did he say
01:36:56.180 soon as the bombs went out, he said, I told him 60 days, a established credibility. Then the very
01:37:02.580 next statement was, please come back to the table or it's only going to get worse. Okay. Then while
01:37:09.200 the whole world is watching the G7, something happens and he flies back. He leaves the G7 and
01:37:16.660 he flies back at 3am. He arrives and he goes directly into the situation room and they're
01:37:23.480 moving assets around the world and then he says hey iran you should negotiate you should negotiate
01:37:30.320 we're still at the negotiation table i would suggest you get back how freaked out do you
01:37:36.520 think they are i i don't know what i i i don't know i have no inside information
01:37:41.640 i just think i know donald trump and what he abhors i know donald trump on what he is
01:37:50.660 terrified of, and that is nuclear war and global war. He knows that will be the end of us,
01:37:58.300 all of us. I just don't see him as that guy. And so I have to ask, is the world's best negotiator
01:38:06.680 now negotiating? And I believe the answer is yes. For the first time, you have a president that is
01:38:13.080 a good negotiator stop blinking that doesn't mean i'm for war it just means stop blinking
01:38:22.360 let's have these conversations amongst ourselves and not online what do you say
01:38:29.360 I, I, uh, I don't know if I predicted, I mean, I did predict that he is not, he's, he, he, yeah,
01:38:46.140 I guess I did say he's negotiating and if it doesn't work out, he will follow through and
01:38:51.260 that's exactly what happened. So yeah. Yeah. It happens, you know, not quite a year later.
01:38:55.700 So, okay. So, all right. I can bum you out. I can bum you out, but let me give you some good
01:39:02.400 things that are going on. Uh, first of all, I just have to stop for just a second at the new
01:39:09.480 Ayatollah in Iran because they got the IRGC together. You know, that's the army of the
01:39:17.240 Mahadi, which we talked to you about yesterday, the, uh, the hidden 12 or cleric. Um, and, uh,
01:39:25.700 he, he couldn't make it to stage because apparently he has a boo-boo on his leg and we
01:39:31.900 don't know what that boo-boo is. Uh, but he was injured. I don't know if he was attending in a
01:39:36.480 meeting or if I were him, I would not be attending any meetings, but he was going to go meet and do
01:39:42.560 a big deal with the IRGC and he couldn't make it. And so he sent, and I'm not kidding. We had to
01:39:48.780 check to see if this, this has to be a deep fake. Nope. Nope. We don't, everything that we could
01:39:55.500 find is nope. This is absolutely real. He sent a cardboard cutout of himself to this meeting with
01:40:02.560 the IRGC. If you're watching torch, uh, watch this. There he is a big cardboard cutout. I mean,
01:40:10.600 he looks like a south park character and the one of the irgc guys is kissing his arm and where his
01:40:18.740 hand should be uh i don't know better cardboard than a goat i mean this is crazy this is crazy
01:40:27.020 uh but you know i can't make it uh don't send the body double just send the cardboard cut out can
01:40:34.400 you imagine if donald trump was like they were celebrating him and somebody brought on stage a
01:40:40.280 cardboard. I'm going to do that. I am going to do that at some point. I might do that at Ellis
01:40:45.140 Island. I might say, ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States, and they will
01:40:50.340 just bring out a cardboard cutout of him. Uh, he may not be so healthy. I'm just saying that it may
01:41:01.300 be that he's, he's a little peaked. He's looking a little peaked right now. All right. Let me tell
01:41:07.300 you about our sponsor this half hour it's the burner launcher imagine you just gotten uh out
01:41:11.440 of your car and you're walking up to your house late one night it's quiet streets empty everything
01:41:15.120 looks normal but as you get closer something just feels off your spider senses are tingly
01:41:19.360 maybe the garage door is open when you absolutely knows you closed it earlier maybe a light is on
01:41:24.820 side that shouldn't be maybe the front door isn't quite shut all the way in that moment you realize
01:41:30.580 something important you're about to walk into a situation you don't fully understand i have
01:41:35.280 walked into these situations before uh with my teenage kids and uh i have to tell you it's
01:41:41.860 frightening when you don't know what's going on and you have a loaded weapon you've got to be
01:41:48.280 very very careful um i mean i i got to the point to where i said last warning
01:41:54.560 identify yourself i have a loaded gun and i will shoot to kill and it was my son who was up in the
01:42:03.040 middle of the night prowling around the house he's like dad it's me and i'm like you almost got
01:42:07.580 yourself killed so it's much better to have a burner launcher it is a non-lethal self-defense
01:42:13.120 because i would have hit him with i would have hit him with a tear gas dad it's me oh really
01:42:16.940 boom and hit him with a tear gas but that's just me burner is a non-lethal self-defense option
01:42:21.960 designed to help you protect yourself from you know uh from a distance using powerful connecticut
01:42:27.900 kinetic and pepper projectiles and tear gas legal on all 50 states.
01:42:32.120 No permit is required.
01:42:33.880 Burna,

01:42:43.740 I got one for every member of my family and,
01:42:45.440 and I pray that they're,
01:42:47.320 they're keeping it with them at all times.
01:42:49.680 Burna,
01:42:50.020 B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.
01:42:53.080 10 seconds station ID.
01:42:57.900 so uh speaking of iran you know we just had the former secretary of um dhs on talking about you
01:43:14.080 know how many see if i have this uh 10 000 to 50 no sorry 18 000 known or suspected terrorists
01:43:23.100 got in or tried to get into our country under biden 1500 of them from iran we have no idea
01:43:30.480 how how many are actually here so we were talking to him about this because there is
01:43:34.840 the islamification of the west that is happening and um and they are very very serious especially
01:43:42.120 now that we're at war with iran and you have to keep your eyes open um but let's look at the
01:43:49.340 ideology that we're talking about um let me play this this is um uh an indian islamist
01:43:58.380 televangelist that is talking about how well it's talking about girls that get raped listen to this
01:44:07.960 cut four please question that is this not injustice to the girl who was raped and murdered
01:44:15.780 and i would say no because both the person who raped is undergoing a test in this world
01:44:22.660 the person who was raped also is undergoing a test
01:44:25.640 and let me explain to you that allah has given guidelines to the woman that they should dress
01:44:32.520 up modestly they should cover the complete body except those part can be seen that is the face
01:44:37.120 now if if after giving all these guidance and hypothetically if that girl doesn't
01:44:43.080 death of modestly she's dressed up immorally which people get excited and the rape is done
01:44:50.880 who's to blame yeah that's you know what hang on just a second you know we need more of this
01:44:57.360 kind of thinking in america more of this can you imagine can you imagine anyone saying anything
01:45:05.240 like that as a christian or whatever saying you know what a girl gets raped unless she's
01:45:13.200 covered everything but her eyes but i don't even know look at her smoky eyes um yes then then maybe
01:45:19.940 we can talk about who's at fault here but she's at fault if she's dressed immodestly yeah let's
01:45:25.860 bring more of that here more of that here's an islamic scholar in california we're doing a special
01:45:32.400 on march 19th that's next thursday you don't want to miss it it is a 90 minute live documentary it
01:45:41.340 is really really thorough we have spent months putting this together to show you the blueprints
01:45:46.320 of what is here in america so let me play this islamic scholar in california listen to this
01:45:54.380 He wants to put a Muslim ban. He wants to ban Muslims. We will tell him, this isn't your country to ban. This is the land of Allah. As every land is the land of Allah. And there are Muslims here, that are here, that are going to be here.
01:46:12.860 And if you don't like it, I would suggest he go somewhere else
01:46:15.980 But I don't know where he's going to go
01:46:17.420 If he goes back to Europe
01:46:19.560 A lot of Muslims in Europe
01:46:20.880 I've been there recently
01:46:22.280 You go to Africa, you go to South America
01:46:25.140 You go to China, you go to Malaysia
01:46:27.040 You go to Japan, you go to the Antarctic
01:46:29.040 There's Muslims
01:46:29.760 So I would make a suggestion
01:46:32.160 If he wants to go somewhere where there's no Muslims
01:46:35.040 I suggest he goes to hell
01:46:36.540 This religion of Islam will enter every household
01:46:40.700 Every household
01:46:42.560 hear this it will enter every household this is the land of Allah now I don't have a problem if
01:46:54.760 you practice another religion that I disagree with but when you come here and you try to
01:47:00.180 fundamentally change and you start saying that this is the land of Allah and your Allah tells
01:47:07.060 you that uh you know you can do extremist stuff you can marry girls who's young or as young as
01:47:12.940 nine you know girls have to be wrapped up from head to toe otherwise they're asking for rape
01:47:19.300 i i'm sorry um no no and i think a lot of americans are getting to the point now to where
01:47:28.620 we know that's not Islamophobia. That's common sense. That's common sense. I'm sorry. You don't
01:47:39.260 have the right to impose that or to just take over this land and turn us all and say,
01:47:46.920 because Islam will be in every single house. No. Over my dead body, it will not ever be in my
01:47:54.700 house. And this is the land of the God of Isaac, Abraham, and Jacob. All right, back in just a

01:48:14.500 I don't know how Isaac all of a sudden got top billing in that, but let me tell you about
01:48:18.440 American financing. Ever notice how people will spend hours comparing prices before they buy a
01:48:23.880 television, but they will sign a mortgage that lasts 30 years and never look at it again.
01:48:28.260 It's strange when you think about it, a family will research vacations for weeks. They'll make
01:48:33.040 sure they're getting the very best value. But at a mortgage, one of the biggest financial
01:48:38.500 commitments most people ever make often just sits there year after year without anybody asking a
01:48:44.500 simple question, is this still the best structure for our finances? Because interest rates change
01:48:49.320 and your financial situation evolves over time.
01:48:51.720 And sometimes just revisiting that structure
01:48:53.820 can make a real difference.
01:48:55.580 That's where American Financing comes in.
01:48:57.620 Their salary-based team of mortgage consultants
01:49:00.500 who take the time to walk you through
01:49:01.980 your entire financial picture
01:49:03.440 and see if there's a way to refinance your mortgage
01:49:05.480 or consolidate your high-interest credit card debt
01:49:08.020 and put you in a stronger position.

01:49:17.600 March 19th, Glenn brings the receipts on Radical Islam's blueprint for our destruction.
01:49:22.800 Watch it live only at glennbeck.com slash torch.
01:49:40.840 Let me give you a couple of things.
01:49:42.360 You know, we were just talking about this special we're doing and, you know, what is what is coming our way?
01:49:49.260 And it's coming our way with Islamists who have every intention of overthrowing the United States of America.
01:49:57.340 There are a lot of people who are who are Muslim that have no intention of doing anything like that.
01:50:03.860 But there are a lot that do. And those are the ones you have to focus on.
01:50:08.040 And there is a blueprint to what their plans are.
01:50:11.340 And we're seeing it executed, you know, all over the world.
01:50:14.400 It is happening all over the world.
01:50:16.280 And unless we wake up, um, it's going to get worse and worse.
01:50:19.860 Now, let me show you one person that is absolutely dead asleep.
01:50:23.060 And that is Abby Phillips.
01:50:24.820 This is her.
01:50:25.820 Okay.
01:50:25.940 So we had the, the, um, two kids that were terrorists who built a bomb called the bomb
01:50:34.180 of satan which is filled with screws and nuts and bolts and it blows up and it just rips through
01:50:39.600 people's bodies they were throwing that at anti-muslim protesters in new york who i don't
01:50:47.640 think are were all that great i don't know everything they were saying but you know i don't
01:50:52.700 i don't want to i don't want to be with people who are saying every muslim is bad okay but you're
01:50:59.040 going to get there if you don't start sorting through the good ones and bad ones and showing
01:51:02.340 the difference between them um but so this these two terrorists come and they throw it at that
01:51:07.820 listen to what how cnn reported this listen to who she said the target was two republicans say
01:51:14.880 muslims don't belong here after an attempted terror attack against new york's mayor zoran
01:51:20.920 and the house speaker mike johnson says nothing really to condemn those comments so she has two
01:51:27.880 republicans say that muslims don't belong here two republicans and the speaker of the house won't say
01:51:34.200 anything about it but did you hear who she said the target of that bomb was mom donnie he was not
01:51:42.460 the target he was not the target in fact he came out and he targeted the anti-muslim people the
01:51:50.780 people that the bomb was thrown at not not the people who threw the bomb the people who were
01:51:56.340 supposed to be be ripped to shreds by the use of that bomb this is the kind of stuff that is going
01:52:02.740 to get us all killed because you're not hearing the truth you don't know how far down the road
01:52:08.920 we are and we're we're really far down the road especially texas hello texas you are next um wake
01:52:18.000 up texas um but that's what's happening all around the around the world and here in america and again
01:52:25.320 we will highlight all of it so you have a full understanding of what this means but just know
01:52:30.160 that at the same time this is happening there are people who have lived under this for a very long
01:52:35.660 time these these girls that were you know part of the uh iranian soccer or football team that
01:52:43.300 defected over in australia that's a remarkable story let me show you two pictures first let me
01:52:51.800 show you how they were when they all had their hijabs on they you know because it's very very
01:52:58.100 clear you have to wear your hijab you cannot allow your hair to be seen otherwise you know
01:53:03.860 you might deserve to be raped um so here they are and they're getting ready to play their game
01:53:10.840 and uh none of them sing the words of the national anthem well that causes all kinds
01:53:19.260 of problems with the regime in Iran. And that was happening at the same time we were starting to bomb
01:53:26.640 Iran. Now, five of them decide that they are going to leave and try to escape and defect to
01:53:36.040 Australia. Donald Trump gets involved because the foreign secretary in Australia is like, I don't
01:53:40.280 know, it seems kind of scary. And Donald Trump's like, what are you, out of your mind? You do it
01:53:45.500 or we'll do it. We'll take them if you won't take them. And so here next to them, side by side,
01:53:50.760 is a picture of the same team not wearing their hijab. There are people who have lived under this
01:53:58.840 regime who have had enough. And the New York Times will show you on the front page the picture of all
01:54:05.500 of the people out in the street that are mourning the death of their ayatollah. That's about 10%
01:54:10.780 of the population 90 are against the mullahs and where is that coverage where is that coverage
01:54:21.520 it's nowhere to be found why
01:54:25.780 why i said this earlier because of the oppressor and oppressed bullcrap that has been going on
01:54:36.200 They look not at the women, not at the homosexuals, not at the individuals who have been oppressed their whole lives, who have been tortured and killed.
01:54:46.980 Forget about the individuals.
01:54:48.680 They're looking at how the United States has oppressed the Iranian state for all of these years.
01:54:58.080 And they know, the Iranians know that capitalism is wrong.
01:55:01.500 The Iranians know that we are an aggressor nation.
01:55:06.860 They know we're the great Satan.
01:55:09.240 And so all they care about is the justice of destroying the United States
01:55:15.000 because we're the great oppressor.
01:55:16.840 We're the great oppressor in Cuba.
01:55:18.620 We're the great oppressor in Venezuela.
01:55:20.680 We're the great oppressor in Iran.
01:55:25.920 Really, are we?
01:55:27.640 Are we?
01:55:28.520 we've done more to those countries to oppress them than those regimes have.
01:55:34.280 But they can't admit that because that doesn't play into their narrative.
01:55:38.400 And also they don't see individuals.
01:55:42.640 That is the difference when, you know, we are the, the,
01:55:45.480 the pendulum swings really far and it's in a 40 or 70 year cycle.
01:55:51.800 I can't remember been a while since I read the theory on the pendulum,
01:55:54.540 but, um, it is a pendulum that swings from the me to the, we, we were the last time we were in
01:56:03.360 the, the Zenith of the me cycle. The pendulum was at that Zenith of me, me, me. It's all about me
01:56:10.760 during the Reagan years. That's when it was all greed is good. I'm going to make it, you know,
01:56:16.280 the individual, all power individual. Well, that pendulum always swings in a cycle and it's,
01:56:23.960 its zenith was around 2020 swinging the other direction the we cycle the individual doesn't
01:56:30.960 matter it's all about the we and when we get to these edges of this pendulum that's where there's
01:56:38.420 real problem that's where you have chaos so now you notice around 2020 what started to change we
01:56:46.280 started to wake up we started you started to see cracks and people getting more and more brave going
01:56:50.980 wait a minute this doesn't make sense and so it started to swing back now the problem with
01:56:55.680 pendulums is if somebody gets in charge and they want to keep that pendulum there they'll just grab
01:57:01.960 it and say it stops right here and that's where you have oppressive regimes and um and strangely
01:57:09.440 the people who want to grab that pendulum are the ones who say they're for the little guy but they're
01:57:15.060 not for the little guy or they would be the ones touting these these girls on the soccer team
01:57:22.560 they would be the ones that would be saying cubans are marching in the streets they want to be free
01:57:28.200 from oppression they would be the ones that would say the homosexuals are about not to be killed in
01:57:35.320 the public square in iran for being a homosexual but they're not they're not they're that misguided
01:57:44.020 and that's sad but it is changing it is changing and the world will eventually find its roots again
01:58:01.120 let me give you a story that i think is really sad but also really beautiful at the same time
01:58:11.840 a story from the new york post um there were these kids these teenagers
01:58:18.180 and this happened in gainesville georgia and these teenagers they decide they're going to
01:58:23.720 go out on a prank night now the school had said please stop with the pranks they're getting out
01:58:28.140 of control and these kids go out anyway at night and what is their prank they're tp-ing a house
01:58:36.100 of a teacher. I mean, all of us did something like that when we were kids. Okay. That's not
01:58:42.040 an out of control prank night, but stop at the pranks are getting out of control. Well, this
01:58:47.640 one teacher, um, he is said by his wife, Laura, um, he was excited to get out there and catch him
01:58:55.580 in the act. Okay. And he was, he's a beloved teacher. Um, and he was going to give him hell
01:59:02.420 in a fun way so the car pulls up they're throwing the tp on his trees and he comes out and he starts
01:59:09.440 giving him hell in a fun way it's raining they're starting to pull the truck and drive away but he
01:59:18.100 slips and he falls right in front of the truck and they run him over okay now in every story i have
01:59:26.780 heard like this, what do you expect to happen next? In all of the horrible stuff that we have
01:59:34.740 heard, what happens next? The kids just drive on. They just freak out and they drive on. These kids
01:59:41.180 didn't. They immediately stopped and then started to apply CPR and medical aid, call the police,
01:59:48.860 get help they wait there and then they're arrested
01:59:52.600 now horrible tragic story let me give you the really beautiful part of this story
02:00:03.540 so the wife laura she said
02:00:09.440 she he was not angry about this he was excited waiting to catch them in the act he had been
02:00:17.260 waiting for them all night. And she said, we've talked to the whole family and we support getting
02:00:24.320 the charges dropped on all of these kids. These kids face 15 years in prison. She said, this is
02:00:33.660 a terrible tragedy and our family is determined to prevent a separate tragedy from occurring,
02:00:39.180 ruining the lives of these students. This would be counter to Jason's lifelong dedication of
02:00:45.060 investing in the lives of these children.
02:00:48.440 Now, that's heroic.
02:00:52.880 But now let me tell you what the kid who is driving the truck,
02:00:57.400 who actually has got to be feeling horrible because he was the guy who ran
02:01:02.440 over this beloved teacher.
02:01:04.520 Let me tell you what he said.
02:01:15.060 I pledge to live out the remainder of my life in a manner that honors the memory of Coach Hughes by exemplifying Christ.
02:01:29.940 He will never be forgotten.
02:01:31.200 As you look at the world today, and it makes no sense whatsoever, and you think we are doomed, I want you to think of this amazingly horrific story out of Gainesville and the mercy and honor that has now appeared to replace that tragedy.
02:02:01.200 I pray for all of them involved, the kids and the family.
02:02:05.580 God bless you all.
02:02:07.860 More in a minute.
02:02:08.960 May I suggest we try a very simple test here.
02:02:12.040 Pick any company that you do business with, your bank, your grocery store, your phone company, and ask yourself,
02:02:18.620 if I sat down with the CEO of this company for 10 minutes, would I agree on anything?
02:02:23.560 Now, you don't have to agree with everybody and everything that you do business with.
02:02:27.360 that's not realistic, but it's different when a company is actually actively using your money to
02:02:33.760 push political and cultural causes that you don't believe in. And that's exactly what a lot of the
02:02:40.040 big mobile carriers in this country have been doing for a long time. Patriot Mobile was built
02:02:43.800 as an alternative. They provide dependable nationwide coverage using the same major
02:02:48.440 networks that you're already on, but with a mission that supports faith and family and freedom
02:02:53.600 and the values that made this country strong.
02:02:56.720 Because it's one thing to disagree with a company,
02:02:59.020 it's another thing to fund it every single month.

02:04:43.720 things i think it's because the goofball stew isn't around anymore and there's more estrogen
02:04:47.340 in the room. I guess maybe it is, maybe. Jason, what did we miss today?
02:04:53.300 A few people asking about the story that you mentioned at the top of the hour in the first
02:04:56.980 hour today about the fraud at LA County and the hospice centers there. I was just reading
02:05:04.980 to the insiders just now a few of the stats from that. And CBS looked at around 1,800 hospices in
02:05:13.120 LA County and they looked for multiple red flags and they have a list of the red flags. So all the
02:05:19.200 typical ones we see of these crazy progressive fraud groups, they all are in like, there's
02:05:23.720 multiple different groups. They try to sound independent, but when you look into them, they're
02:05:27.500 all in under the same address, you know, like 20 different companies and a couple of different
02:05:33.320 buildings, all at the same address. Out of 1800 of these hospices, 700 of these facilities tripped
02:05:41.720 multiple of these red flags 700 and this is just in la county and a little area in la county you
02:05:50.120 can imagine how deep this entire thing goes how much how much of our natural debt is because of
02:05:56.800 stuff like this yes i i will tell you i'll bet you when it comes to it our deficit every year
02:06:03.680 i will bet you a third of it maybe more is just corruption we haven't we haven't proven to be
02:06:11.600 serious about our our our corruption problem ever ever you'll hear about one little piece that's
02:06:18.740 corrupt and then they move on why do you think they went after elon musk and doge as hard as
02:06:23.620 they did yeah i'm telling you a third of our deficit every year is going to corruption if
02:06:29.500 that's what you're finding and each of those patients got like what was it supposed to get
02:06:34.500 twelve thousand dollars a piece and they had thousands of them in just there imagine what
02:06:40.760 it is all over the country you want to know how well funded the left is well just look at all the
