00:01:59.500 Now let's get to work.

00:02:00.440 We'll be right back.

00:02:30.440 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.

00:02:52.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:57.000 What a historic day.

00:03:03.020 President Trump has just greeted all of the hostages.

00:03:07.520 They all have been returned.

00:03:09.560 Anyone alive.

00:03:11.480 They are still getting the bodies of those that they say they know where the bodies are.

00:03:18.260 But they haven't been able to check them.

00:03:21.340 They are still checking for bombs in the coffins, et cetera, et cetera.

00:03:25.760 Hopefully nothing is there and we can have real peace.

00:03:31.140 The hostage square is what they call it in Tel Aviv.

00:03:35.580 It was a crazy, crazy scene.

00:03:41.180 People were, I mean, they were booing Benjamin Netanyahu and cheering Donald Trump.

00:03:47.700 They were a lot of them wearing MAGA apparel, holding up signs with, you know, Donald Trump's image and Nobel Peace Prize.

00:03:55.480 It is, it's quite a scene in Israel.

00:04:00.100 Now, the president is on his way.

00:04:02.220 He just spoke to the Knesset.

00:04:03.540 We'll give you some highlights of that.

00:04:04.960 He's on his way to Egypt to sign this peace deal that includes the entire Middle East.

00:04:11.900 First, what the president has done is nothing short of miraculous.

00:04:17.020 And I want to give you the kind of a background so you understand how historic this is.

00:04:23.420 We'll give you pieces of the president's speech and how it all came together in 60 seconds.

00:04:29.560 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

00:04:31.340 Ever notice how your car runs better, you know, when you keep up the maintenance?

00:04:35.560 You don't have to wait for the engine to seize before, you know, changing the oil.

00:04:39.380 It gives you what it, it gives, if you give it what it needs, all you have to do is drive

00:04:45.800 it and just take care of it and it'll go and go and go.

00:04:48.120 And your body deserves the same approach instead of white knuckling through everyday discomfort

00:04:51.980 and hoping it's going to work itself out.

00:04:54.780 Build a simple daily routine that supports the systems that carry you through life.

00:04:59.980 And relief factor is that routine developed by doctors.

00:05:03.300 It is a daily supplement that is designed to support your body's response to inflammation.

00:05:07.560 Common driver of the pain that tends to derail the plans.

00:05:11.240 No shocks, no hype, no just, no complicated rituals, just consistent targeted support that

00:05:17.260 fits between your morning coffee and the rest of your day.

00:05:20.460 Take it consistently and watch the results.

00:05:23.560 Sitting without wincing, a workday without midday afternoon, I'm done, and an evening walk

00:05:28.660 that doesn't require a debate.

00:05:30.100 Like any good maintenance plan, the goal is simple.

00:05:33.540 Keep everything running the way it should.

00:05:35.720 Try the three-week quick start now from relieffactor.com.

00:05:41.080 Take it for three weeks and see if it doesn't make a difference with you.

00:05:44.120 800-4-RELIEF.

00:05:45.380 That's 1-800, the number four, RELIEF.

00:05:49.880 All right, so let me start here.

00:05:51.800 For the first time in living memory, the guns have gone quiet in Gaza.

00:05:58.540 Hostages that have been held now for over two years have just walked free.

00:06:03.500 And for the very first time, not in decades, but perhaps a millennia or two, the descendants

00:06:10.180 of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob have signed something that might resemble more than just a ceasefire.

00:06:17.720 You have to understand, before we start, how significant and how impossible it is to reach this point.

00:06:28.160 This is not like anything we've ever seen before.

00:06:30.660 The conflict did not begin in 1948.

00:06:33.920 It didn't begin with the British mandate and the creation of the state of Israel.

00:06:38.640 The story really begins with the ancient people of Israel and the sands of Canaan,

00:06:44.960 where the people of Israel and the people called the Philistines clashed over the same spot of earth called Gaza.

00:06:55.760 The Bible records Gaza as one of the five cities of the Philistines.

00:07:01.700 And this is the place, Gaza is the place, where the Philistines gathered their strength.

00:07:06.660 It was in Gaza that Samson, the judge of Israel, was betrayed, captured, blinded, and paraded through the streets

00:07:15.680 as the Philistines mocked him, much like you saw on October 7th.

00:07:22.180 It was in Gaza that he brought the temple down on them, you know, one man against the empire.

00:07:28.060 History has a very long memory in that land.

00:07:35.100 We call it the Gaza Strip today, but it has seen conquerors come and go,

00:07:40.040 the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Ottomans, the British.

00:07:45.000 And yet, somehow or another, the one rivalry that is from, you know, 2,000, 3,000 years ago

00:07:51.760 remains, the one between the children of Israel and those who dwell along the sea.

00:07:57.940 That's an important thing.

00:07:59.820 Palestinians of the ancient world, in biblical context, are different than the Palestinians.

00:08:08.800 They were the group, they were not Semitic, they weren't Jewish,

00:08:12.660 and they concentrated on the coast of Israel, Gaza.

00:08:16.820 The modern Palestinian identity came, you know, a millennia later.

00:08:23.940 And that was shaped by the Arab, Islamic, and historic developments in that area.

00:08:30.820 It's not directly connected to the Philistines.

00:08:34.080 However, Philistine and Palestinian both mean people that dwell on the coast.

00:08:39.680 The word Hamas is an acronym, which means, you know, in their language, the Islamic resistance movement.

00:08:49.740 But in Hebrew, Hamas means something altogether different.

00:08:53.720 It means violence.

00:08:55.540 And this is in Hebrew, in Genesis 6-11, the earth was filled with Hamas, violence, corruption, wickedness.

00:09:02.780 It was because of Hamas that the rains came and Noah had to build the ark, because of Hamas.

00:09:12.200 So when you hear the word Hamas, understand what it means to the Israeli ear compared, you know, to the Palestinian ear.

00:09:21.520 It's not just an enemy, it's a biblical echo, a spiritual warning from deep, deep time.

00:09:28.880 So for 75 years, they have been trying to make peace between these ancient adversaries.

00:09:35.700 Everybody has tried to do it.

00:09:37.620 In my lifetime, the Camp David Accords were in 1978.

00:09:42.740 The Oslo Accords in 1993.

00:09:46.020 Endless roadmaps, summits, UN resolutions, and nothing.

00:09:50.560 Every single one of them hailed as historic, and each one declared a new chapter, and every one of them failed.

00:09:56.300 And it's not because the diplomats lack skill, but because too many on, you know, one side, the entire Arab world, didn't believe Israel had a right to exist.

00:10:08.880 And everyone was looking for a political solution.

00:10:13.080 Then comes Donald Trump.

00:10:16.180 Donald Trump didn't approach this, you know, as a professor of Middle East studies.

00:10:21.460 He didn't approach this with the hundred years of expertise from the State Department.

00:10:29.320 In fact, he looked at the State Department expertise and went, you guys aren't really experts at anything.

00:10:33.900 You haven't solved anything.

00:10:35.300 And you keep trying the same thing.

00:10:36.660 What are we doing?

00:10:38.040 He took a business approach.

00:10:40.640 He knew all of the players because of business.

00:10:43.600 He knew all of the big players.

00:10:45.040 And so he got in with all of the players and found out, what do you really want?

00:10:52.880 And what they really want is stability.

00:10:55.580 If you look at what's being built in the Middle East, they are these incredible modern cities.

00:11:04.020 Incredible modern cities.

00:11:06.080 They want prosperity.

00:11:08.700 The Middle East does.

00:11:10.580 Hamas doesn't.

00:11:11.940 He saw a region, Donald Trump did.

00:11:15.340 He saw a region that was addicted to U.S. aid, endless negotiation.

00:11:21.100 And so he just tore up the whole rule book.

00:11:22.920 And he recognized Jerusalem, first thing, as the capital of Israel.

00:11:27.880 A move every single president before has been told by the State Department, you can't do that.

00:11:33.220 It'll cause war.

00:11:34.180 And you know what?

00:11:34.800 It didn't.

00:11:35.640 He moved the embassy.

00:11:36.860 He then walked away from the Iran deal and he told the world that America is no longer going to apologize for standing with the only democracy in the Middle East.

00:11:47.760 And that's where all of the anti-Semitic stuff comes.

00:11:51.840 Because now, see, Israel is controlling our foreign policy.

00:11:55.720 Israel is controlling Donald Trump.

00:11:57.780 Donald Trump is doing the bidding of the Jews.

00:11:59.660 No, no, no, no, he didn't.

00:12:04.400 No, he wasn't being controlled.

00:12:06.200 And no, they weren't controlling him.

00:12:08.080 It was actually seemingly quite the opposite because he did something extraordinary.

00:12:16.020 He took the entire region and brought them together.

00:12:21.320 First, he did it with the Abraham Accords.

00:12:24.380 That is the first genuine realignment of the region in a generation or maybe two.

00:12:31.440 And it wasn't about ideology.

00:12:33.780 It was all about survival, prosperity, and the shared fear of Iran's growing shadow.

00:12:40.920 When we drop the bombs on Iran, Americans and people in the West and people who have been educated in our universities and been indoctrinated with all this garbage,

00:12:52.460 they looked at that and said, oh, my gosh, look it, he's doing Israel's bidding.

00:12:56.740 No, he was actually doing Israel's bidding.

00:12:59.200 He was doing Saudi Arabia's bidding.

00:13:01.760 He was doing Turkey's bidding.

00:13:03.620 He was doing a bidding of Egypt.

00:13:05.860 Everyone in the Middle East.

00:13:08.660 Everyone in the Middle East.

00:13:10.500 The Middle East hates Iran.

00:13:12.520 They know how dangerous Iran is.

00:13:15.140 They wanted somebody to put Iran in its place.

00:13:19.960 So when Donald Trump did, the Middle East, the Arab world, celebrated.

00:13:27.740 Now, obviously not all of it, but a lot of it.

00:13:30.820 The ones that are now at the table.

00:13:33.660 He did something else.

00:13:35.420 He proved himself to be an honest broker and not doing the bidding of just Israel.

00:13:45.260 And I would love to hear all of the people who are now standing up and saying, see, we're just a puppet.

00:13:52.580 I would love for you to understand.

00:13:54.140 I would love to hear your explanation of this.

00:13:56.580 When Israel went after Qatar, which I don't have any love at all for Qatar, but they went after Qatar.

00:14:05.620 And that was going to blow this whole thing up.

00:14:09.940 What happened?

00:14:12.080 Donald Trump went to Benjamin Netanyahu and said, you need to apologize to Qatar.

00:14:19.200 Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel is not going to apologize.

00:14:21.760 They ended up apologizing to Qatar.

00:14:24.080 It won't happen again.

00:14:25.460 That gave Donald Trump the image in the Middle East of not being the little boy toy, but the other way around.

00:14:34.600 He has some control of what Israel is going to do.

00:14:40.280 He can tell them, knock it off.

00:14:42.620 Then when everybody came to the table, the Middle East all came to the table and said, okay, we'll handle Hamas.

00:14:49.200 You handle Israel.

00:14:51.740 So they got Hamas to the table and said, you're going to take this and we're going to guarantee the peace.

00:14:58.800 And Donald Trump went to Benjamin Netanyahu and Benjamin Netanyahu said, we have to finish the job.

00:15:04.220 We have to finish them off.

00:15:06.060 And Donald Trump said, no, you're going to take this deal now.

00:15:09.380 And Benjamin Netanyahu said, no, we have to finish them off.

00:15:12.140 And he said, I don't think you hear me.

00:15:13.620 You're going to take this deal.

00:15:16.960 That's how this happened.

00:15:18.200 That's a miracle.

00:15:24.460 He didn't try to make them friends.

00:15:27.880 He tried to make them partners.

00:15:30.600 They all want prosperity.

00:15:33.180 And now we are looking at the fruits of the labor that started with the Abrahamic Accords.

00:15:41.680 The Arab states signed it to enforce peace rather than to sabotage it.

00:15:48.160 For the first time in 4,000 years, the blood-soaked sands of Gaza whispers something today that has been forgotten for 4,000 years, and that is hope.

00:16:03.240 If it holds, even if it holds for a year, 5 years, 10 years, it means centuries of hatred has been overtaken by something stronger than hate.

00:16:23.100 And even if we just start with survival, that's good.

00:16:29.560 It means that the children of Abraham, which is both the Arab and the Jew, the descendants of Abraham, long divided by faith and pride, have decided, choose life over death, trying to prove you're right.

00:16:49.120 It means the biblical land of Gaza, where Samson fell, where violence has filled the earth, might finally learn the meaning of peace.

00:17:00.240 But if it doesn't, and the rockets return, and the lies reawaken, then this will just be another tombstone in the desert of broken promises.

00:17:12.000 But the Bible says, blessed are the peacemakers.

00:17:14.740 The Lord hates the hands that shed innocent blood.

00:17:21.420 So if this holds, if this holds, if courage triumphs over chaos, let's remember that peace is not the absence of war.

00:17:34.800 It's the presence of righteousness, and righteousness, true moral clarity, demands that we call evil by its name.

00:17:45.860 And we stand with truth, even when it's costly.

00:17:49.280 And we defend the innocent, even when the world looks away.

00:17:53.760 And now it is our job, as long as this holds, to rebuild.

00:17:59.680 I am so happy to say, we are not being asked to rebuild.

00:18:06.320 Not our money.

00:18:08.060 The Middle Eastern money is coming in now, to rebuild the region.

00:18:13.360 As it should be.

00:18:19.420 Men haven't suddenly become good.

00:18:21.560 But for once, maybe they are choosing life over death and survival.

00:18:29.420 Or perhaps they've remembered and seen God's warning and chosen mercy over their rage.

00:18:36.680 All right, we're going to give you some of the sounds from the Middle East here in just a second.

00:18:42.140 First, let me tell you about LifeLock.

00:18:43.240 Our online footprint is bigger than you think.

00:18:45.420 It's in your banking, it's shopping, it's your health information, your taxes, your kids' school accounts,

00:18:55.860 It's your whole household, spouses, parents, even your kids' information.

00:19:03.900 It gets passed around like currency.

00:19:05.460 LifeLock monitors for uses of your personal information in places that don't make sense.

00:19:11.140 Credit applications, dark web listings, data leaks.

00:19:14.960 It alerts you if something looks off.

00:19:17.840 Unlike credit monitoring alone, LifeLock looks beyond new account fraud to catch the subtler stuff.

00:19:28.100 LifeLock's U.S.-based restoration team works to fix it.

00:20:02.680 Station on you.

00:20:03.060 Welcome to Stubber Gear, our executive producer.

00:20:15.780 A historic day.

00:20:17.500 An incredible day.

00:20:18.280 One that many people did not think was possible.

00:20:20.600 Oh.

00:20:20.760 And, I mean, there's going to be a lot of people that are going to bring up questions about what comes after this, and I think those are totally legitimate.

00:20:27.800 But the bottom line is the hostages that are alive are back.

00:20:31.340 This isn't something we have to predict anymore.

00:20:33.300 This isn't something we have to, you know, cast doubt on, worry about.

00:20:38.260 It's occurred.

00:20:39.760 The families are all over social media hugging their relatives.

00:20:42.920 That's actually happening today, which is incredible.

00:20:46.340 After two years.

00:20:47.740 Two years of just, you know, the guy who famously we saw him digging his own grave, like he's back.

00:20:55.600 Imagine that.

00:20:56.700 I mean, I can't even imagine.

00:20:58.680 Certainly over two years, you have to be resigned to the fact that you're never seeing them again.

00:21:04.620 If you're a family member, you're sitting there and you go on TV all the time and plead for them to come back and hope and pray and work and do everything you can.

00:21:12.540 But there has to be part of you, certainly in dark moments, where you just realize you're never going to see them again.

00:21:19.180 And then here we are.

00:21:20.560 This is happening.

00:21:21.900 Miracles obviously start from a higher place than Donald Trump, but he was used as a conduit here, and I'm glad that this has occurred.

00:21:29.180 You know, it's amazing.

00:21:30.260 I'm watching Air Force One getting ready to take off from Tel Aviv because it's now heading over to Egypt, which is about a 20-minute trip, I think.

00:21:38.960 It is, this is leadership.

00:21:46.000 Remember everybody said, oh, there's going to be a laughing stock of the world.

00:21:50.060 We're just going to be a war all the time.

00:21:52.600 Look, this is leadership.

00:21:54.900 This is America and our president leading the world to peace.

00:22:01.100 I've never seen anything like this.

00:22:02.980 This is beyond what Ronald Reagan did with communism.

00:22:07.100 I really believe that.

00:22:08.560 This guy has solved eight wars.

00:22:11.460 Now, communism, well, I can't say communism.

00:22:14.220 Communism affected more people than this did to some degree.

00:22:18.480 You know what I mean?

00:22:19.920 But this is crazier.

00:22:23.360 This is 4,000 years.

00:22:25.200 Yeah, yeah.

00:22:27.700 I mean, that's interesting.

00:22:28.660 That's an interesting, I'd have to put a little bit more thought into that if I was going to rank them, but it's really, really important.

00:22:33.800 It's really important.

00:22:34.500 Yeah.

00:22:34.740 I mean, you could argue either way.

00:22:36.640 Sure.

00:22:37.680 I think, like, you know, there's a lot of stuff you can talk about there.

00:22:42.240 I think one of the things that's fascinating about this moment is Donald Trump loves this.

00:22:47.360 Like, this is by far his favorite part of this job.

00:22:53.260 He's a dealmaker.

00:22:54.600 Yeah.

00:22:55.000 Yeah.

00:22:55.180 He's a dealmaker.

00:22:56.060 If you like Donald Trump and you want to see Donald Trump at his happiest, watch this speech today.

00:23:02.600 He is so in his element.

00:23:05.560 He is so thrilled to be talking about this.

00:23:08.000 He's busting on the people in the Knesset.

00:23:10.540 He's, you know, roasting his relatives.

00:23:13.440 He's just, he is thrilled and deserves this moment of adulation and credit.

00:23:20.920 Everyone's laughing at all of his jokes.

00:23:22.720 Everyone's clapping for everything he says.

00:23:24.960 Because it's an incredible achievement.

00:23:26.620 It's a wonderful day.

00:23:27.680 It really is.

00:23:28.180 And we should be thankful.

00:23:29.180 Back in a minute.

00:23:31.400 This is Glenn Beck.

00:23:35.420 Yeah, I don't really know who loves the idea of buying or selling a home.

00:23:38.440 I really don't.

00:23:39.200 I guess some people do.

00:23:40.560 You know, and then you get into the middle of it and you're like,

00:23:42.780 ah, appraisals, inspections, closing costs, you know, a mountain of paperwork.

00:23:47.120 It feels like it was designed to test your sanity, really.

00:23:49.980 And through it all, you start wondering, who's actually on my side here?

00:24:56.820 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:25:15.880 Quite an incredible day.

00:25:19.400 And, you know, I would just like to hear from those people today that have been saying, you know,

00:25:25.120 Donald Trump is going to get us in all kinds of wars and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:25:28.360 Uh, no, apparently not.

00:25:30.760 Um, you know, the, the real problem is, is that people, when, when George W. Bush told me in the Oval Office back in 2007 or eight,

00:25:41.720 he said, don't worry, Glenn, the next person that gets in here, no matter what party they're from,

00:25:48.040 they're going to realize they're going to have to do pretty much the same thing because they'll have the same advisors

00:25:55.120 and they'll know that their hands are really tied as president.

00:25:57.780 And that scared the hell out of me.

00:26:00.440 I mean, he was trying to make me feel better, but I didn't feel better.

00:26:04.120 Wait a minute.

00:26:04.760 The president really doesn't have any power to do anything.

00:26:07.820 We're going to continue to go down this road, even though it doesn't work.

00:26:10.840 That's why when Obama got in, nothing really changed.

00:26:13.960 He didn't shut anything down or do anything big because he was going for the same advisors.

00:26:20.200 And so all these advisors that are like, you know, we've got a hundred years of experience.

00:26:24.700 We've been working on these things and it's going to pass.

00:26:27.780 Donald Trump came in and said, I don't agree with any of this stuff.

00:26:31.840 We're going to try something different.

00:26:34.240 And so he got rid of those advisors.

00:26:36.960 He's like, who'd you just marry?

00:26:39.180 Honey?

00:26:40.060 Yeah.

00:26:40.300 Okay.

00:26:40.520 Bring him over here.

00:26:41.240 We're going to send him to the Middle East.

00:26:42.320 I mean, he just, he broke all of the rules and he's a negotiator and he's a business guy and

00:26:52.660 he's, he's a builder.

00:26:54.600 So he thinks differently.

00:26:57.640 And look at the difference.

00:26:59.960 I mean, if you, you want to look at the way he has changed the world, he has greatly changed

00:27:07.900 the world.

00:27:08.240 We're not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination, but he is greatly changing

00:27:13.220 the world.

00:27:13.780 He is breaking everything that the state department and the years of the guys who have been thinking

00:27:19.060 exactly the same way, what they've been building.

00:27:21.900 He's breaking all of that.

00:27:23.440 And he's like, no, we're going to build it a different way.

00:27:26.060 We're not going to be a global community where everybody is answering to, you know,

00:27:30.640 the United Nations.

00:27:31.680 We're going to be our own states.

00:27:33.320 And that's the way it should be.

00:27:35.540 Now, if you don't like that, if you want to be a global community, that's fine.

00:27:38.620 But that doesn't mean we all go to war with each other as you're seeing.

00:27:43.420 If you find a way for everybody to work together, if you find a way that where everybody wants

00:27:48.480 to be successful and have some peace.

00:27:50.480 Now there are going to be some people like Iran.

00:27:53.840 I don't know what's going to happen with Iran, but I'm hoping that there is some sort of

00:27:57.960 mutual agreement between the Arab states that, you know, if Iran starts something.

00:28:05.760 It's not going to just be, you know, it's not just going to be Israel that has to respond

00:28:12.860 or the United States.

00:28:14.900 It's time for the Middle East, now that they're together, to take that on themselves

00:28:21.000 if there is trouble there, because that one hasn't been solved yet.

00:28:24.740 But he reached out and said, look, Iran, we don't have to be enemies.

00:28:30.140 We, we, now is the time for you to come to the table as well.

00:28:35.280 It's so clear that this is how he actually sees the world, right?

00:28:39.180 He does see the world.

00:28:41.260 Peace through strength is something that he really believes in.

00:28:44.920 He talked about it quite a bit in the speech about how this is, this didn't happen because

00:28:50.680 he was decided to let everyone have what they want or to be super nice to everyone.

00:28:56.460 This happened because they have really big weapons that are really powerful, that hit

00:29:00.380 the targets they want to hit.

00:29:01.680 And many of them he shared, as he pointed out, shared with Israel, many of which that they

00:29:07.180 have themselves to use when needed.

00:29:09.940 And he didn't, that is the approach here.

00:29:13.560 This is not a, it's, it's so weird because I think the left and the media see Donald Trump

00:29:19.220 as a guy who is either this maniacal hawk that is going to go just blow up everything

00:29:24.800 all the time.

00:29:25.380 That's one of the worries that they said.

00:29:27.400 And we said at the time, that's, none of his history points to this.

00:29:30.200 Nothing in his history.

00:29:31.160 What are you talking about that?

00:29:32.220 But also.

00:29:32.900 Back to when he was 20 years old, he talked about this stuff.

00:29:35.380 He hates war.

00:29:36.500 Yeah.

00:29:37.140 And I think some other establishment criticism comes to him because, you know, you look at

00:29:43.220 like what Russia did with Ukraine, right?

00:29:45.680 And you say, okay, well, Russia invaded Ukraine and, and there's a lot of people like on the

00:29:49.760 hawkish, you know, right, who would say, okay, like they're in the wrong here.

00:29:53.900 What are we going, why are we going to go and do anything with them and say that, you

00:29:57.720 know, he's too weak on these issues.

00:29:59.780 He's constantly trying to give everyone what they want.

00:30:02.080 He's always negotiating.

00:30:03.540 And like, neither of those are really true.

00:30:05.400 Like there, some, there are elements of those.

00:30:08.540 Like Donald Trump will attack a country he believes is in the wrong if he needs to.

00:30:13.900 You've seen it with Soleimani back in the day.

00:30:15.560 He'll do the things he believes he needs to do, but he's not ideologically committed

00:30:19.740 to doing that all the time.

00:30:21.260 The same thing with negotiating.

00:30:21.960 And he's also, he's also limited in his scope.

00:30:24.360 Yeah.

00:30:24.760 Usually limited in his scope.

00:30:26.460 Same thing with, but like not limited in his scope when it comes to ISIS.

00:30:30.940 No.

00:30:31.220 Right.

00:30:31.360 Like he came in and was like, he talked about that in the speech too.

00:30:33.500 He's like, I talked to General Raising Cain and everyone told me it was going to take

00:30:38.920 four or five years.

00:30:39.680 He told me it would take four weeks, but we'd probably have time left over.

00:30:43.100 And he was right.

00:30:44.420 We went in, we did it his way.

00:30:45.900 He found a general who was on the ground who said, look, I don't want to talk ill about

00:30:49.440 my superiors, but here's what I think we could do.

00:30:51.540 And he picked him and he said, we'll do it your way because your way makes sense.

00:30:55.080 And then it was over in a month.

00:30:56.900 Right.

00:30:57.380 Incredible.

00:30:57.920 That is a totally different way of looking at these things.

00:31:00.280 And because he just doesn't have that, he doesn't, he's not involved in that, that

00:31:06.120 world where there's just calcification over ideas.

00:31:08.980 Like we exactly, we talked about when it, when it comes to George W. Bush, right?

00:31:12.740 Like, uh, you know, this is kind of where we are and the same advisors advise the same

00:31:16.760 things.

00:31:17.180 And it doesn't always mean that it works out perfectly.

00:31:20.500 It doesn't always mean he's always right.

00:31:22.200 He is a guy, I think with that type of stuff, at least when he, when it does go down the

00:31:27.100 wrong road, oftentimes he'll reconsider, you know?

00:31:30.140 I mean, I think that's what happened with Russia.

00:31:31.720 He went down that road with Russia.

00:31:33.640 He really, and again, he talked about this in the speech, believed he could solve that

00:31:36.740 immediately.

00:31:37.060 He said it before the election.

00:31:38.800 He said we could get that done in a couple of days.

00:31:40.400 He said, I talked, I called over and, uh, and Whitcoff was in there talking and it was

00:31:46.300 15 minutes in and I called him like, what's going, why is this taking so long?

00:31:50.100 And they're like, he's still in there.

00:31:51.500 And he talked to him for five hours and it didn't happen.

00:31:54.160 And he admitted it didn't happen.

00:31:55.900 And you saw the change that he had there where he was all of a sudden saying, well, you know

00:32:00.180 what, maybe Russia isn't serious about this and we should start doing more to, to put

00:32:04.220 pressure on them in other ways.

00:32:05.920 But like, that's oftentimes just mocked his failure, right?

00:32:09.120 He went in there with this big approach and it didn't work.

00:32:11.700 Well, he's trying something else.

00:32:14.200 He's trying things that he believes will end these conflicts.

00:32:17.060 And that is consistent with who he's been for a very long time.

00:32:20.040 I mean, you can come up with criticisms for Donald Trump, but this stuff has been pretty

00:32:23.380 successful.

00:32:24.640 The stuff that he's done, particularly in the Middle East, has been incredibly successful.

00:32:28.600 Name the president that has not moved us closer to war or brought us into war in the last,

00:32:36.760 you know, five, where we've had troops on the ground.

00:32:39.600 We're sending troops everywhere.

00:32:41.600 Name the last president that didn't do that.

00:32:44.120 I mean, you know, I guess you could say, you know, Joe Biden, who's withdrew a bunch of

00:32:53.120 troops from Afghanistan, that didn't work out very well.

00:32:55.760 It didn't get us just slaughtered.

00:32:56.940 It made everything worse.

00:32:58.240 Yeah.

00:32:58.620 No, you're right.

00:32:59.460 I mean, I, it's, it's not his, he has a priority for this not to occur.

00:33:06.380 It's very important to Donald Trump, I think quite clearly.

00:33:09.180 And he believes he can get it done.

00:33:12.060 And in, in some circumstances, it's worked, which by the way, nothing else we try typically

00:33:18.080 works.

00:33:18.820 You know, sometimes war will end the, the thing you're dealing with at that given moment.

00:33:23.720 We have seen that happen, but oftentimes does turn into something worse in the longterm.

00:33:29.740 And to be clear here, you know, one of the problems that if we were going to poke holes

00:33:34.220 in this at all as to what happens so far, there is always a completely ridiculous ratio of how

00:33:41.440 many Palestinians get released compared to how many Israelis get.

00:33:45.200 20 to 2000.

00:33:46.480 To 2000.

00:33:47.220 It's a hundred to one in this case.

00:33:48.760 And it's always 50, a hundred, 150 to one.

00:33:51.640 It's always something like this.

00:33:52.780 And you look at the guys who are coming back from Israel and they're all healthy and

00:33:56.280 well-fed, look like they've just been at a resort.

00:33:59.420 And then you look at the hostages coming back from Hamas and they just look horrible.

00:34:03.420 Many, you know, they look either bad to horrible.

00:34:06.520 Yeah.

00:34:06.800 And the issue here is all of the people that were taken hostage by Hamas will return back

00:34:14.100 to life in Israel, hopefully be able to adjust to life with their families, going to church,

00:34:19.900 living as, as they were, or at least as close as they can get to that.

00:34:24.960 It'd be weird if the Jews started going to church.

00:34:27.320 Well, you know, whatever.

00:34:28.740 I don't know if they're all Jews.

00:34:30.340 I mean, there was people from other countries as well.

00:34:32.780 But the opposite will happen likely with the 2,000 Palestinians.

00:34:39.660 Many of these were hardcore terrorists.

00:34:43.840 Many of them were real criminals.

00:34:45.980 Many of them were, you know, either involved or suspected to be involved heavily in the

00:34:53.280 October 7th attacks.

00:34:54.480 What do these people do in the future?

00:34:56.460 There's a lot to come here.

00:34:57.520 So there's a difference, though.

00:34:59.500 They're releasing, many of them that are being released did not have charges against

00:35:04.180 them.

00:35:04.620 They were scooped up and not charged with something.

00:35:07.860 So, you know, they were holding these to keep combatants off the battlefield, but they

00:35:13.300 were not necessarily charged.

00:35:14.900 They didn't have them.

00:35:15.720 They were the ones on video murdering children.

00:35:18.440 Right.

00:35:18.700 Like it wasn't them.

00:35:19.740 Correct.

00:35:19.900 But again, some of them were suspected.

00:35:22.900 They believed they had planning, you know, possibilities.

00:35:27.420 They were in groups with the people who were doing these things.

00:35:30.520 And there is certainly a risk, as we've seen after 9-11, that when you take terrorists and

00:35:36.280 you put them in Guantanamo for a few months and then you release them back, they become

00:35:40.260 the heads of ISIS.

00:35:41.480 Right.

00:35:41.740 This stuff does happen.

00:35:42.820 Right.

00:35:42.960 So there's a long road ahead.

00:35:44.200 This is not a, it's a victory lap for a very small piece of this, but a very important

00:35:49.300 piece of it.

00:35:50.240 If they can keep the peace between the Arab world, forget about Hamas, you keep the peace

00:35:56.400 and you hold together a coalition of the Arab world with Israel, that's worth all of it.

00:36:04.260 Massively important.

00:36:05.460 Massive.

00:36:05.980 And while it might not necessarily solve Hamas or Hezbollah or any of these other groups,

00:36:13.260 it, if we have a place where Israel and these, and many of these Arab nations are in a good

00:36:20.160 place together.

00:36:21.260 Trading with each other.

00:36:22.200 And maybe some of these countries are actually overseeing Gaza.

00:36:26.760 Yeah.

00:36:27.460 And they are the ones that need to come in and be the bad guys when Hamas does these things.

00:36:32.980 It's a totally different dynamic.

00:36:34.520 There's no way to turn against Israel if that situation is true, if that relationship can

00:36:42.460 be maintained.

00:36:43.220 And that'll be difficult.

00:36:44.760 There will be times where that's going to be really difficult to maintain.

00:36:48.080 But again, it's a path.

00:36:49.520 It's like a possibility of success.

00:36:52.040 We were in a situation, I mean, as long as we've done the show together, Glenn, 100% of

00:36:56.300 the time I was convinced this was never going to occur, where there would even be a chance

00:37:01.780 where Arab nations and Israel would be buddy-buddy or at least something close to it.

00:37:06.420 I would say 99.9% of the time, because the Arab Accords were so historic.

00:37:11.440 You're like, wait, what just happened?

00:37:13.240 Yeah, the Abraham Accords.

00:37:14.480 Yeah, I agree with that.

00:37:15.900 And of course, there's always the possibility of a miracle.

00:37:18.200 That's the only thing really I held out hope for.

00:37:20.220 This might be it manifesting itself.

00:37:23.120 And that's great.

00:37:23.760 Here's what Hillary Clinton said.

00:37:26.020 I really commend President Trump and his administration, as well as Arab leaders in the region, for

00:37:30.300 making the commitment to a 20-point plan and seeing path forward for what's often called

00:37:34.880 the day after.

00:37:35.960 It's going to take a lot of work.

00:37:37.320 It's going to take a lot of coordination.

00:37:39.280 But the U.S. took advantage of an opening that was available, and we were able to be successful.

00:37:45.660 That's great.

00:37:46.680 Good for her.

00:37:47.580 Not what Biden said.

00:37:49.420 No, the Biden administration is like, Donald, what?

00:37:51.740 Who?

00:37:52.180 Duck?

00:37:52.440 Are you?

00:37:53.220 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:37:54.840 But congratulations, Hillary Clinton, for at least being honest, which you know who's

00:37:59.940 honest today.

00:38:00.940 If you're not saying, wow, good job, Donald Trump, well, you know, you're not an honest

00:38:06.920 broker of anything.

00:38:07.940 All right, back in just a second.

00:38:09.740 Every meal tells the story, where it came from, who raised it, and whether it was done

00:38:13.960 right.

00:38:14.960 Most people don't think about, you know, their food anymore.

00:38:17.980 They just grab whatever's on sale, wrapped in plastic, shipped from God only knows where.

00:38:23.320 But when you sit down to a steak or a burger, and it's from Good Ranchers, you know exactly

00:38:29.660 what you're getting.

00:38:30.420 100% American meat raised on family farms and packed right here in the USA.

00:38:41.920 quality, honest work, and feeding families here in America the right way.

00:39:24.480 Welcome to the table.

00:39:26.840 The rope may break, but the ride goes on.

00:39:31.760 This is Glenn Beck.

00:39:43.160 So maybe you've done the work before.

00:39:45.420 You've counted and cut and measured and pushed yourself, and all the calorie talk has been

00:39:50.260 there, and you've tried every plan that's promised a fresh start, only to watch the

00:39:54.640 weight creep back, slow and steady, like a tide that you can't turn back.

00:39:58.560 And every time, it gets a little harder to believe the next attempt will be any different.

00:40:02.820 The truth is, weight loss isn't just about your effort.

00:40:05.480 It's about what happens beneath the surface.

00:40:07.800 How your body handles blood sugar, and hunger cues, and stored fat, and all sorts of stuff.

00:40:13.160 That's where Lean comes in.

00:40:15.000 It is a non-prescription oral supplement designed to basically help you through this by medical

00:40:20.820 professionals to support metabolic health in a way that your body actually understands.

00:40:25.760 It helps balance blood sugar, it helps reduce cravings, and it helps improve the way your

00:40:30.680 body uses fat for energy, all without injections or clinic visits or burnout that comes with chasing

00:40:37.320 results that you can't sustain.

00:40:38.680 Because the real victory isn't losing the weight, it's losing the cycle, and the endless back

00:40:44.580 and forth that leaves you feeling like you're starting over every few months is not what

00:40:48.540 you want.

00:40:49.100 Lean is about stability.

00:40:50.640 It's about finally giving your body the consistent support it needs to stay where you've worked

00:40:55.600 so hard to get.

00:40:57.000 If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and keep it off, add Lean to your

00:41:01.180 diet and exercise lifestyle.

00:41:24.500 I am so excited for the M1 Gala For His Glory.

00:41:29.360 It's happening on Saturday, October 18th.

00:41:31.740 This is the gala that we do once a year to pay for all the light bills and everything

00:41:37.820 else, pay the staff salary.

00:41:39.560 So when I come on the air and I say, hey, there's a hurricane, every dime goes to that,

00:41:43.880 you know it's happening.

00:41:45.300 It's a really important thing.

00:41:46.720 It also helps us fund a pile that we have that we can use for anything.

00:41:54.860 So before I start raising money for a hurricane or some event, we have a million dollars or

00:42:01.960 so in the bank that we can use for anything.

00:42:05.160 So I can say, get the planes off and fill them with food and get them there now.

00:42:10.200 And we have that money to be able to start things before I can get to the air and get

00:42:17.180 to you to ask you for help.

00:42:20.040 It's a really incredible evening.

00:42:22.200 It is happening on October 18th.

00:42:25.620 That is this Saturday, right?

00:42:28.160 This Saturday here in the Dallas area.

00:42:31.580 Uh, it's our maximum impact fund together, restoring the human spirit, Mercury one, because

00:42:37.200 when help is needed, we answer the call because of you, uh, get your tickets now at mercury

00:42:43.080 one.org, mercury one.org.

00:42:46.560 Uh, all righty.

00:42:48.240 There's something else I wanted to tell you about.

00:42:51.140 Um, Barry Weiss, the reporting over at CBS is remarkably different.

00:42:59.680 Starting to change already.

00:43:00.880 Yeah.

00:43:01.600 Before she got there, I was, I had heard that she was just demanding employees tell her

00:43:06.920 what they do, like some sort of tyrant.

00:43:10.320 Yeah.

00:43:11.240 Authoritarian.

00:43:11.900 Uh, here's, here's before the reporting from CBS news before hospitals and health clinics

00:43:17.220 in Gaza city are on the brink of collapse.

00:43:19.000 Nearly two weeks into the offensive, two clinics have been destroyed by airstrikes.

00:43:22.040 Two hospitals shut down after being damaged with medicine equipment and food and short supply.

00:43:25.800 According to the Gaza health ministry, this is after she arrives Israel retaliatory

00:43:30.660 war in Gaza against Hamas, which is the U S and Israel consider a terrorist organization

00:43:35.520 has killed more than 67,000 people.

00:43:37.740 According to the Hamas run Gaza ministry of health, which does not distinguish between

00:43:42.200 civilian and combatant casualties.

00:43:44.200 Uh, that's quite a difference, quite a difference.

00:43:48.700 CBS may actually have a chance of survival.

00:43:54.000 This is Glenn Beck.

00:43:56.540 You know, there was a time when chips were cooked in tallow beef tallow.

00:43:59.920 It was real food, rich, flavorful, satisfying.

00:44:02.780 People loved them.

00:44:03.420 And then in the nineties, Oh, you can't have tallow.

00:44:06.520 That's a big corporations traded flavor for profit, swapping out tallow for cheap industrial

00:44:11.960 seed oils.

00:44:12.740 And we know about seed oils now, and they told us it was healthier, but no, it wasn't.

00:44:17.440 It wasn't.

00:44:18.400 So masa is a, is a chip now that decided to go back.

00:44:22.060 They make tortilla chips with three ingredients, organic corn, sea salt, and 100% grass fed beef

00:44:29.240 tallow.

00:44:29.640 So that's it.

00:44:30.880 No seed oils, no sluggish feeling after you snack, just a chip that's crunchy, satisfying

00:44:35.240 and strong enough to hold a dignified amount of guacamole.

00:44:39.120 May I just say, it's not just a better chip.

00:44:41.380 It's a better choice overall.

00:46:13.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:19.720 Named one of the hundred most influential people in the world by Time Magazine in 2024,

00:46:24.860 he also oversees the eighth largest economy in the world.

00:46:27.780 And I think he's the man who really broke the back of the Biden Open Border debacle

00:46:31.740 by sending busloads of border crossers to New York City.

00:46:35.720 A brilliant, brilliant move.

00:46:38.720 And then he sent the National Guard, the Texas National Guard to the border,

00:46:44.060 which made them the perfect people when the phone rang with the governor last week.

00:46:51.120 And Donald Trump called and said, we need the Texas National Guard.

00:46:56.280 Or National Guard.

00:46:57.760 And his response was, where do you need them?

00:47:00.620 I'm going to talk to the governor here next.

00:47:02.540 Just a second, first 60 seconds.

00:47:04.480 When you shop for a phone plan, you're given a lot of information up front.

00:47:07.280 Data plans, coverage, things like that.

00:47:09.140 But what you don't see is what that company is going to do with your money.

00:47:11.940 The donations that put your dollars in the pocket of leftist activists.

00:47:17.000 Patriot Mobile wants to empower you and change that.

00:47:19.660 They use the same nationwide network as the big carriers.

00:48:07.040 Governor Abbott, welcome to the program.

00:48:10.440 Hey, Glenn.

00:48:11.540 Hey, how are you?

00:48:12.960 Man, I'm doing great. How are you doing?

00:48:14.420 I'm good. I'm good.

00:48:15.500 I just wanted to ask you a couple of questions.

00:48:18.640 First, any thoughts on the peace deal in Israel and the Arab world today?

00:48:26.360 It's just remarkable.

00:48:29.640 I haven't seen anything like this before.

00:48:33.160 As you know, the Middle East is one of the most complicated areas in the entire world.

00:48:38.160 And to see President Trump be able to go in there,

00:48:41.180 work with other countries across the entire region,

00:48:44.060 as well as over in Europe and other places like that,

00:48:46.580 to galvanize countries literally across the globe and say,

00:48:50.940 this is what we have to do.

00:48:53.560 We have to have peace there.

00:48:55.300 We have to stop the shootings, stop the killing.

00:48:57.840 We have to release the hostages, all of that.

00:49:00.340 And to do that in such a short period of time and to see the effectuation of it begin overnight is just stunning.

00:49:09.840 And so I would say so far, so good with the relief of the hostages.

00:49:17.400 The test will be tougher when we get to the next stage where Hamas actually has to step down from running Gaza,

00:49:29.600 controlling Gaza.

00:49:30.760 And we have to see them live up to that component of the peace deal.

00:49:35.280 If they're able to pull that off and if international troops will be the ones who will be ensuring the safety of it

00:49:44.400 and ensuring that it's not U.S. international troops, but from other countries,

00:49:49.280 that will be stabilizing Gaza as opposed to Hamas,

00:49:54.660 then it may be an extraordinarily valuable deal.

00:49:59.280 Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed on that.

00:50:01.460 I wanted to talk to you because Pritzker and the courts have just said to the National Guard,

00:50:08.180 to the Texas National Guard, you can't do anything.

00:50:11.460 Now, last week, I think they said you couldn't deploy them there.

00:50:14.340 You did because of what the Constitution actually says.

00:50:17.240 But now you've got a hold on them protecting ICE.

00:50:20.860 What's the status on this?

00:50:23.180 All right.

00:50:23.640 So let's go back to fundamentals here because what I have found is everybody in the country doesn't understand the fundamentals.

00:50:30.160 I'll rip through it real quick.

00:50:31.900 One is they are obviously the, quote, National Guard.

00:50:36.000 And the president has the authority under the Constitution, under federal statutes,

00:50:41.460 to be able to call up the National Guard and to deploy them under certain circumstances.

00:50:45.880 One of which is to deploy the National Guard to prevent interference with execution of federal law.

00:50:53.040 And that's exactly what the president has done in Illinois, in Oregon, in California, and places like that.

00:51:01.380 And as you kind of pointed out, and this is detailed, you've got to be kind of a lawyer to figure out what these courts said.

00:51:07.680 But very importantly, the Federal Court of Appeals in California, the Federal Court of Appeals in Illinois,

00:51:15.500 all said that the president is fully authorized to call up these National Guard for purposes that were articulated by the president of why they were needed.

00:51:25.560 What happened, and this actually occurred before the National Guard were even sent to Illinois because the trial court judge there said,

00:51:35.460 the trial court wanted to hear evidence about whether what was actually going on the ground satisfied the criteria of preventing interference with execution of federal laws.

00:51:47.540 And so that's all that's going to happen.

00:51:51.300 You've got to prove that that's exactly what they are for, because if they do that, they will be allowed not only to be discharged there,

00:51:59.560 which they are allowed by the courts to do, but they will also be able to be there to carry out the function of protecting ICE

00:52:06.900 as ICE is trying to perform its duty to enforce federal law.

00:52:12.360 Now, listen, Glenn, what we've all seen on TV screens across the entire country, the way that people in communities,

00:52:20.200 it could be protesters, it could be assassinators in these communities across the country, are interfering with ICE performing their jobs.

00:52:28.260 And so this is fundamental.

00:52:30.620 And I know whether it be at these Federal Court of Appeals or when it gets to the United States Supreme Court,

00:52:36.540 President Trump is going to be judicially authorized to fully enforce Title 10 of the federal law to make sure that these National Guard troopers are going to be able to be deployed

00:52:50.400 and protect ICE members who are coming under assault in states across the entire country.

00:52:58.580 He's not allowed to have them do police duties, though, right?

00:53:03.900 I mean, that's the difference, right?

00:53:06.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:53:06.900 And that's the deal.

00:53:08.000 And that's one of the evidence issues that the trial court wants to hear.

00:53:12.360 So the president doesn't have the authority to call up National Guard to act like police officers there.

00:53:19.680 But that's not what he's doing.

00:53:21.240 He's never even said he's trying to do that.

00:53:23.240 But, of course, that's the bogus arguments being made by Prisker and by people like Gavin Newsom.

00:53:29.000 I mean, and you know as well as I do, Prisker and Gavin Newsom, they are sanctuary city governors, and they are more than happy having chaos in their communities.

00:53:40.000 And the last thing they want to do is to push down that chaos and allow some National Guard soldier to come in and make the communities more safe.

00:53:49.340 And it's just disgusting that we have governors in this country who actually promote crime and chaos in their own communities.

00:54:00.120 Now, these are governors who are promoting endangering federal officials who are trying to carry out the functions of their office.

00:54:07.960 And I'm telling you, Glenn, if any of these people, any of these ICE agents or any federal employees, if they are injured in any way whatsoever,

00:54:16.300 then Governor Prisker and Mayor Johnson of Chicago, they are an accomplice in the crime that would injure one of our National Guard or one of the ICE agents trying to carry out the functions of federal law.

00:54:27.780 Now, tell me why Donald Trump chose Texas, because I know he always does.

00:54:34.820 Everything he does is for a reason. Why did he choose the Texas National Guard?

00:54:40.520 President Trump knows that the Texas National Guard is the most elite National Guard that we have in the United States,

00:54:47.200 whether it be serving on our homeland or serving on foreign lands.

00:54:51.740 He knows that they have the expertise of dealing with civil riot control.

00:54:59.700 They have done that on the border in the harshest developments and the toughest of times.

00:55:05.300 They have been deployed around the state of Texas by me to deal with situations like this,

00:55:11.340 where we needed the National Guard to have the back of our law enforcement officers during the George Floyd protests, during other protests.

00:55:20.600 And so these are proven and tested National Guard, who we have a very large number of them.

00:55:28.760 And he knew also that if we sent our guard there, we would still have plenty of guard, thousands of them on the border, as we do right now,

00:55:37.500 as well as plenty of other National Guard to be able to perform whatever other function that I, as governor, would need them to be able to provide.

00:55:46.200 And so this is just easy math for him, coming from a state that has the kind and quality and training of National Guard that President Trump respects.

00:55:59.900 The rules of engagement, I've always concerned about, you know, the National Guard kind of just being sitting ducks.

00:56:05.300 They can't really do anything.

00:56:06.820 What are you going to do?

00:56:07.460 Shoot.

00:56:07.660 What are the rules of engagement?

00:56:11.460 Yes, it's very simple and a great question.

00:56:15.080 But there are rules of engagement that our guard had been very well trained on for literally years.

00:56:21.240 And then when they arrived in Illinois, they went back over the rules of engagement.

00:56:26.760 And that is, they don't go proactively and shoot somebody or anything like that.

00:56:32.120 But their mandate is to protect the ICE agents.

00:56:37.080 But in protecting ICE agents and other federal employees, if they come under assault, they have certain tactics and strategies that they can use to make sure that they're going to maintain safety around them.

00:56:51.720 Some easy examples.

00:56:53.540 They would, and I haven't been told exactly what they are down there, but I'm going to tell you generally what they do.

00:56:58.800 They would have tear gas capabilities, flashbang capabilities, pepper ball capabilities, less than lethal force capabilities to make sure that they're going to be able to maintain crowd control in ways that will protect the safety of the federal officials,

00:57:16.280 while at the very same time not doing any physical harm to anybody in the community who is threatening them.

00:57:22.920 But also, Glenn, remember this.

00:57:25.880 It was just a few weeks ago where, you know, guard needed to be there, but they were not there at the time of the shooting in Dallas, Texas,

00:57:34.300 when there was an assassination attempt by a gunman trying to kill, murder, the national, I'm sorry, the ICE agents there.

00:57:45.860 And, you know, are you supposed to just stand back and say, yeah, have at it, take your best shot?

00:57:52.980 Of course not.

00:57:54.700 They would have been in charge of trying to eliminate that shooter before that shooter shot what turned out to be two illegal immigrants who were in detention.

00:58:07.900 You know, there's there's there's this second incident here in Texas, and I know the first one, the first one, I think everybody but one has been arrested.

00:58:19.120 And that was that's, you know, quite a quite the accomplishment on that to get make sure you get everybody involved.

00:58:27.620 Let me let me switch to the border here real quick.

00:58:31.460 I read a story today about how the drug cartels have, at least in Baja, have declared war on Americans.

00:58:40.980 Are we seeing anything, any upswing in dangerous engagement from the drug cartels on our border?

00:58:49.460 Well, it depends on where you are, because, you know, the border runs from the Gulf of America to the Pacific coast.

00:58:58.400 And you were talking about in the California area.

00:59:02.680 And we have not yet seen in Texas anything exactly like that.

00:59:07.740 We are prepared for it in Texas, which is why we still have thousands of National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety officers on the border.

00:59:15.540 And it's also why we are working in a very close collaboration with the Trump administration to make sure that we're going to be able to push back on anything like this.

00:59:25.400 But I'll tell you about two things further in response to this.

00:59:29.020 One, remember, Trump has publicly stated what is also privately stated, and that is he is looking to take out the heads of the cartels in Mexico.

00:59:41.860 And he has not backed off of that in any way whatsoever.

00:59:47.060 The other thing is that we all know that we need to be prepared in every region of the border about a new form of engagement by the cartels, and that will be active drone warfare.

01:00:02.700 And I know in Texas we're prepared for it, and we're gearing up.

01:00:06.080 The other thing, something that just came out over the weekend, but they've been working on it in a couple of weeks.

01:00:11.940 Do you remember back when Biden was president and I was doing everything I could to protect the border?

01:00:18.000 Yeah.

01:00:18.340 And I deployed those big orange buoys into the water, into the Rio Grande that prevented people from being across the border.

01:00:25.380 There was an announcement made by the Trump administration that they are putting down about 80 miles of those big orange buoys, especially in the Eagle Pass area, that would prevent people from being able to cross.

01:00:40.020 And they're looking at other spaces where they would be adding in the aggregate more than 100 miles of those buoys.

01:00:46.400 One thing about those buoys, they are fully effective at preventing people from crossing in those areas, but they're about, I don't know, about a tenth of the cost of a border wall.

01:00:57.300 And so it's a very effective tool for the federal government to continue to deny illegal entry.

01:01:03.880 But there's also, we know the commitment of President Trump to make sure that we're going to have zero people crossing the border during his administration.

01:01:12.020 But what I told President Trump is, listen, we want to work with you for the next three years to make sure that we stop the flow coming across the border.

01:01:21.600 But we need to do it in a way so it's effective for more than just three years for the next 30 years is what we need to do.

01:01:30.160 And those buoys on the border, the border wall that he's building, some other things they're doing in the state of Texas, is ensuring that what he has done during this term in presidency is going to have a lasting effect to deny illegal entry into the United States of America.

01:01:47.540 Governor Greg Abbott, I know you need to run, but I do want to congratulate you on what you've done with Epic City.

01:01:53.440 And, you know, you immediately sprung into action the minute we started hearing about these Muslim Sharia laws that he's possibly springing up.

01:02:00.900 And I want to thank you for that.

01:02:02.220 And we'll keep our eye on the Attorney General to make sure that he enforces those laws.

01:02:07.360 Thank you.

01:02:08.560 You got it.

01:02:09.420 Great to be busy, Glenn.

01:02:10.240 You bet.

01:02:10.560 Bye-bye.

01:02:11.180 Let me tell you about the Tunnel to Tower.

01:02:12.700 Somebody who puts a uniform on and walks out the door of his or her home knowing it might be their last shift.

01:02:17.780 That is a hero knowing it might be the last time.

01:02:22.280 A first responder running towards the flames, a soldier deploying far from home, a police officer kissing his family goodbye, stepping into the unknown.

01:02:30.220 Most of us will never have to make that kind of choice.

01:02:32.640 But thanks to them, we get to live in a country they protect and we get the benefit of their sacrifice.

01:02:38.320 Tunnel to Tower's offers is honoring those families and paying off the mortgages for Gold Star and fallen first responder families by providing the adaptive smart homes for severely injured.

01:02:52.280 Veterans, they make sure that the people who sacrifice the most are never left behind.

01:02:57.740 Every donation, large or small, builds a future for somebody who gave everything for ours.

01:03:02.660 Its gratitude turned into action because just remembering the fallen isn't enough.

01:03:06.880 We owe it to them to take care of the living.

01:03:09.480 Don't forget the sacrifices of our greatest, greatest heroes.

01:03:13.420 Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.

01:03:16.460 That's T, the number two T, dot org.

01:03:20.200 Ten seconds.

01:03:20.780 Station ID.

01:03:31.320 Donald Trump has just arrived in Egypt for his summit on Gaza's future.

01:03:36.740 The plane just landed.

01:03:38.140 His car is now driving down one of the central avenues in Egypt to meet with the leaders of Egypt and sign the treaty.

01:03:46.880 It is a remarkable day.

01:03:49.820 I got an invitation over the weekend to be with the president on Tuesday.

01:03:53.840 That's tomorrow.

01:03:55.220 He's going to be back in Washington doing something entirely different.

01:03:57.940 I'm like, what?

01:03:59.280 I'm tired.

01:04:00.520 I'm tired just watching you.

01:04:02.100 I'm tired.

01:04:02.840 What are you doing?

01:04:03.560 He is an amazing man of energy.

01:04:07.600 Just incredible what he's doing.

01:04:11.260 But we'll see.

01:04:12.800 Now he's at the Middle East Peace Summit following the release of all of the hostages from Hamas.

01:04:21.440 Just this today is remarkable.

01:04:25.240 Yeah.

01:04:25.500 We don't know where it goes from here.

01:04:26.620 But, like, this is something that I think we all consider to be really a remote possibility without real divine intervention.

01:04:34.480 Because, you know, Hamas, if you think about their position here, they have now put themselves in a place where whatever leverage they felt they had with hostages now is completely gone.

01:04:49.040 And, you know, the rest of this arrangement for them doesn't look all that positive.

01:04:53.900 It seems to allow them to potentially escape to a third party country and avoid the imminent death that they're facing.

01:05:04.260 But it does not allow them to reconstitute as a government, to rule this land at all, to govern this land at all, to be armed at all.

01:05:16.240 And there's a lot coming.

01:05:18.200 A lot coming.

01:05:19.780 That they're not, that they obviously would not like.

01:05:22.780 But also now don't have any leverage with hostages to even negotiate.

01:05:26.960 Right.

01:05:27.360 And they don't have any place to go because the entire Middle East, except for Iran, is not happy with them.

01:05:37.380 You know, it's.

01:05:37.980 No, that's true.

01:05:38.760 They don't really.

01:05:39.720 They're not going to get cover anymore from members of the Middle East.

01:05:44.880 Yeah.

01:05:45.300 I mean, part of the agreement seems to hint to some path for them to be able to leave.

01:05:52.300 You know, you think about, like, when a dictator falls and they go to a third party nation.

01:05:56.000 It seems to indicate something like that.

01:05:58.420 Now, that's, of course, very risky because they could start a new organization.

01:06:01.400 They can, you know, build back up.

01:06:03.260 And I'm sure, honestly, some of these people, I'm sure those people are going to attempt that.

01:06:08.460 One of the things I think is interesting, though, is these are not, you know, this is not the A team we're dealing with with Hamas anymore.

01:06:15.320 No, it's not even the B team or C or D.

01:06:17.540 We're like the, you know, L team.

01:06:19.520 I don't know.

01:06:19.960 We're way down the list because a lot of their leadership has been killed already.

01:06:23.360 Over and over and over again.

01:06:24.460 Yeah, so you don't know.

01:06:25.480 Some of these people might be, they might have been involved in this.

01:06:28.840 They might have thought it was a good idea on October 7th.

01:06:30.720 They might be now thinking, hey, if I can get out of this without getting killed, this will be incredible.

01:06:34.600 Everybody I know is dead.

01:06:36.200 Right?

01:06:36.480 Everybody in my organization is dead.

01:06:38.040 Maybe we can get out of this.

01:06:39.460 So, you know, again, winning the war has a good path to help you to get a path to peace.

01:06:45.720 When you actually execute the war with intent, this stuff tends to happen.

01:06:49.820 This is Glenn Beck.

01:06:54.080 You know, debt has a way of feeling normal after a while.

01:07:07.720 The mortgage, the credit cards, you know, the student loans, the home repairs that turned into a balance that you never quite shaved down.

01:07:14.640 You make the payments.

01:07:15.880 You juggle the rates.

01:07:16.980 And you tell yourself it's fine until one day you realize how much money is, you know, left, is left, you know, left your house every single month.

01:08:24.520 Bill Scope.

01:08:32.160 The remarkable president has, you know, just landed in Egypt.

01:08:37.100 He was just in Jerusalem.

01:08:39.400 I mean, it is.

01:08:44.340 I find myself saying this every day.

01:08:47.040 Didn't expect this to happen.

01:08:49.080 Never expected this to happen.

01:08:51.160 Never seen this before.

01:08:52.480 uh we live we are so blessed to live at these outrageous times i mean i mean honestly think

01:09:02.620 about you know it's not that you want to live in times like this but if you actually face up to

01:09:11.900 what we're dealing with what an honor to be selected to live at this time and then to know

01:09:19.760 who you really are you know you live in times not like this you're not thrown up against the wall

01:09:25.200 you don't know you know you you're not a defender of the faith you don't have to be a defender of the

01:09:31.240 faith you know um because you don't have anything to defend i mean everybody's okay with it everything's

01:09:37.800 cool um look at what we're going through it's it's an amazing time to be alive and president trump i

01:09:46.880 mean say what you want about the guy but boy if he wasn't built for these times you know i've always

01:09:53.560 said ever since i was a kid why don't we run this more like a business and here we have a business

01:09:58.560 guy who is in and look at the peace deals he's brokering it's incredible uh can i give you uh

01:10:04.480 a choose your own adventure here for a second yeah yeah okay um which one is the right take

01:10:10.900 for us to to talk about for for for a conservative to feel today number one

01:10:18.160 the president deserves the nobel peace prize he is obviously the guy who achieved this and only the

01:10:26.460 dumb left wing and the stupid you know nobel committee that it has nothing to do with actual

01:10:31.380 peace wouldn't give it to him number two we shouldn't want him to get the nobel peace prize

01:10:39.020 because these organizations are uh an element of the past and we should leave them behind and stop

01:10:46.520 praising them or want their stupid awards we should want them we should want them to give it to some

01:10:51.900 other crazy person that doesn't deserve it we should want the organization to go away we shouldn't kiss

01:10:57.340 their ass and and and hope that he wins what's the right i don't really care if he wins or not it's

01:11:03.860 it's it is nice that they have to bow the knee you know they have they have to like all right gotta

01:11:10.880 give it to him because you know how much they don't want to do it right so it's satisfying in that

01:11:15.860 way um but you know who cares i mean it lost all credibility you know him better than i do

01:11:23.080 yeah i think he'd like to win this yeah i think that's how he i mean yeah you know i saw an interview

01:11:29.400 with uh with him just recently and you know what are your goals what are your goals he said well my

01:11:34.940 goal you know was to be president and what are your goals now you know what do you what do you want to

01:11:39.280 accomplish now i want to be a great president um and so you know i think you know these are milestones

01:11:46.740 that that happen you know you you know and especially in his era the nobel prize meant something

01:11:55.500 right you know my era it meant something now it doesn't really mean anything at all uh but it's

01:12:02.080 still a milestone and it is recognition of what he has done um that is you know nobody thought was

01:12:11.540 possible nobody thought was possible yeah i'm gonna do a terrible job on my own choose your own

01:12:15.840 adventure to say that like i kind of want it's i think both of them are right yeah i do too you know

01:12:20.480 i mean it's like i really i want him to win but i don't care yeah i kind of want him to win

01:12:24.420 because i want to just go through the cycle to see how people would react yeah like yeah like how

01:12:30.260 people are reacting today like let's say you're on the nobel prize committee and you've decided you

01:12:35.160 know everyone you you know the talk everyone's talking hey donald trump should get this and you

01:12:39.020 and they even said like we don't give this award to these terrible people like they had some statement

01:12:43.560 like that and so you're not giving it to donald trump under any circumstances in your own mind

01:12:47.900 and then you decide instead we're not giving it to donald trump we're going to give it to this

01:12:51.300 venezuelan woman and then she comes out and she's like i want to dedicate this award to donald trump

01:12:56.160 immediately happens which is great and by the way again another good example is that one of the

01:13:04.060 eight that he cites i don't remember but venezuela because he's taken a really strong stance on that

01:13:10.000 you know the people who are fighting for freedom there see him in an incredibly positive light he's

01:13:15.700 been you know dedicated i'm anxious to see who he inspires you know who comes out of this in the

01:13:23.020 next 20 30 years who is inspired by him uh and they go you know what i i learned a lot here and this is

01:13:33.400 the way to to deal with things because he's changing everything and you know he is teaching people

01:13:41.600 a lot yeah a lot about courage uh you know a lot about just suck it up just do it it's funny because

01:13:50.920 i was thinking about his uh talking to somebody this weekend about just the presidency of donald trump

01:13:57.160 particularly the second term and i was thinking about how much has happened i mean it's been there's

01:14:02.960 been so many things that have occurred you know like nine months yeah and that's where i landed i was

01:14:08.660 like holy crap we're not even a year into this i know and it's funny because i think the first term

01:14:14.820 of of trump was and like there's a lot of good things there's some things i didn't like as much

01:14:20.280 you know but there was but there was a lot that happened then too i think one of the reasons why

01:14:24.460 biden won in 2020 was because some people looked at that and just said god there's too much chaos

01:14:31.600 there's too much stuff happening all the time there's a tweet every day and things are changing all the

01:14:34.820 time this seems like the first term times 10 and and i don't mean it's not chaotic sense it's just

01:14:42.120 that how much is happening and you know you look back at this and i think after the first term there

01:14:47.700 was a thought and there's some reason to agree with this if you're looking back historically of like

01:14:52.360 trump coming in at a very unique time and winning a race that most people didn't think he could win

01:14:58.380 including me i didn't think he was going to beat hillary in that election um he takes the

01:15:02.880 presidency he he has four years they're like totally unique you know what i mean like he's

01:15:09.960 a totally different personality and then you know he doesn't win in 2020 and i think there's a there's

01:15:17.000 a thought maybe you look back at trump historically as like wow that was a crazy thing that happened

01:15:21.720 right like you know right here's a guy who came in and i was a celebrity and he just won and you know

01:15:27.460 he had a term and a lot of stuff happened and wow i don't think there's any way just after nine

01:15:32.880 months of the second term that you don't look back at trump as one of the most significant presidents

01:15:37.440 of all time and you might not like you might say that in a negative way i mean if you're on the left

01:15:45.120 you might look at this and say that's a it was a terrible outcome we didn't like a lot of the things

01:15:48.680 that happened in that period but like the same way i would look at barack obama and say

01:15:52.680 very significant president in a bad way for me um i think you have to look at trump and and you have

01:15:59.800 to say it it's even more so most important i would say barack obama was like woodrow wilson nobody really

01:16:06.780 knew all of the things that he yeah okay um i think donald trump is now at least fdr

01:16:15.200 may that's incredible fdr again i look at him as a massively negative influence in almost every way

01:16:22.360 20 years yeah he's done this in nine months i think because he he's changed one of the two

01:16:32.520 parties in focus you know some of the things are the same but like there's a real change in the in

01:16:38.140 the right i think you i don't think anyone would argue that in fact trump would would brag about that

01:16:43.320 like you say this is you know what i wanted to do and that you know just that is a really significant

01:16:48.320 thing to happen and i don't think it had happened fully at the end of his first term especially when

01:16:54.100 you know he wasn't able to do two in a row coming back for this next term after everything that

01:16:59.580 happened and then him adding on to this with all of this stuff here in just the first nine months god

01:17:05.180 knows what's happening in the next three years you know the significance of this presidency is i mean

01:17:10.160 it's changed the country change the world yep let me tell you something else it's changed uh let me

01:17:16.000 start with this uh cut five here here are the uh the new talking points for the media on uh antifa

01:17:24.120 listen to this there's no antifa this is an entirely imaginary organization there is not an antifa like i

01:17:30.440 don't even know what antifa is there is no group it's not even like far right groups like the proud

01:17:34.680 boys and oath keepers compared to right-wing extremists antifa linked violence is rare and limited it isn't

01:17:40.200 an organization it is a it is a in in many ways mythology it's not like the proud boys or the

01:17:46.820 oath keepers you know sort of uh defined terrorist organizations with leadership uh that led that you

01:17:54.200 know leads violence it's not a highly organized movement it's a moniker it's literally it's it's not

01:18:00.360 a unified group like the proud boys are things like antifa are things that are thought up it's all in this

01:18:06.120 guise of going after antifa which is nothing there's no organization called antifa nobody's a member of

01:18:11.840 antifa because it doesn't exist they are just declaring into existence something that doesn't

01:18:18.340 exist there is no antifa organization so uh maybe that's good for social media um but it really has is

01:18:27.720 non-existent they uh exist on the internet and chat rooms and in 4chan and uh discord in places like

01:18:35.880 that where they run discussion boards trade tactics documents things like that but none of them are

01:18:41.620 called antifa what i don't even know what they're talking about i mean you want to talk about living

01:18:46.780 in a different world uh but that's what's going around now let me just tell you this last week i did

01:18:54.800 a tv show that apparently got the fbi's attention um the topic was was initial investigation a jumping

01:19:05.100 off point shattering the myth that antifa just you know uh it's it's uh it's just leaderless and

01:19:11.920 decentralized uh-huh uh we thought no it's really not so we dove in headfirst and we analyzed the

01:19:19.940 antifa network and we went from the street thugs to the support groups eventually to the funding okay

01:19:27.420 to say the fbi was interested in this might be an understatement uh let's just say the fbi is turning

01:19:37.300 over every single stone it is so clear to me that they are exploring all angles of this and they are

01:19:46.720 talking to anyone and everyone that can give them any kind of information how do i know

01:19:52.320 saturday i get a phone call uh the director would like to uh send over some agents to speak to you

01:20:02.920 glenn and i'm like the direct fbi agents yes you said some things that uh they need to talk to you

01:20:11.700 about and i'm like well good things are bad you know they'll be over so they sat in my living three

01:20:17.200 agents sat in my living room on saturday afternoon for almost two hours uh and i immediately called

01:20:24.360 jason i'm like jason you're the researchers your fault i'm gonna throw you under the bus you better

01:20:28.660 get your butt over so jason was there and my wife and jason and i sat there uh and it was surreal at

01:20:36.340 one point i i talked to him for about 15 minutes just going over the tides foundation and saying if

01:20:41.320 you understand tides you'll understand how difficult your job is going to be um and this is information

01:20:47.080 that i first gave on fox years ago let me just say this finally we have an administration and an

01:20:55.580 fbi director that is willing to go in deep not surface but deep i can only imagine what we could

01:21:03.980 have avoided if anyone in an administration would have done this in 2011 but if i were in that

01:21:12.140 imaginary group of antifa which by the way has imaginary leaders leaving the country to go

01:21:20.380 maybe to imaginary countries outside of the u.s right now i would be very concerned if i were part of

01:21:27.440 anything that was uh sending money their way or assistance their way i don't know i might be a

01:21:34.480 little concerned because the fbi is dead ass serious thank you thank you thank you donald trump

01:21:44.440 cash patel and all of the agents at the fbi all right back in just a second let me tell you about

01:21:50.040 the burner launcher there's a big difference between being careful and being ready careful is double

01:21:55.360 checking the locks ready is knowing you can handle what happens if those locks don't hold and that's

01:22:00.780 where the burner launcher and the new compact launcher comes in these are non-lethal co2 powered

01:22:06.360 launchers that you that give you control or without the consequence of a firearm they're small they're

01:22:13.660 light they're legal in all 50 states no permit or background check no red tape they fire pepper or

01:22:19.020 kinetic projectiles that can disable uh you know an attacker long before they get close and because

01:22:25.600 they're non-lethal it's the kind of protection that you can actually keep close in a bag glove box

01:22:30.760 or beside you without you know any warning uh you know or any worrying about what if scenarios

01:22:36.340 turning into the headlines um you are you're required to protect yourself and your family

01:22:44.240 you have to be responsible and maybe the best way for you is with the burner launcher byrna.com

01:23:48.740 i saw the crowd it's incredible yeah she did a great great job i'm so proud of her she just is

01:23:53.720 killing it um but we'll try to get to some of those clips because they're really really good we'll get

01:23:58.700 to some of those uh a little later on in the uh in the program you know stew and i were just talking

01:24:03.520 about how antifa doesn't exist and you know that's like saying honestly it's like saying al-qaeda

01:24:09.860 doesn't exist well you're right there is no you know 501 broadway you know where you go to al-qaeda's

01:24:18.420 office that doesn't happen but it does exist and it's an it's an ideology and while they may not

01:24:25.340 they may not take their direction from the same person at the office i don't know i there's no hr

01:24:31.860 so they don't exist they exist they exist uh and they're loosely affiliated and sometimes they are

01:24:39.140 getting money you know uh and and for the press and everybody else to say when you're watching them

01:24:46.820 all over the country and they're doing exactly the same thing same tactics every every everywhere

01:24:54.000 you know to say they don't exist is just infantile yeah it's like a it's a real it's i don't know

01:25:01.000 there should be a word for this if there isn't but it is a a real point used in an intentionally

01:25:07.040 dumb way to mislead is is that malinformation yes is that what that is because it because it really is

01:25:13.420 like yeah there's a real point there that they are disengaged from a centralized thing this makes

01:25:17.500 them more dangerous it's how you had to deal with terrorist cells right uh back in the day however

01:25:21.900 they're using it in a way to make it seem like it's not a threat which is not accurate like and

01:25:26.080 they know it's not accurate and they're trying to mislead people with a piece of why would you

01:25:31.360 why would you support why would you try to brush antifa under the rug i mean it's just perplexing

01:27:05.900 We'll be right back.

01:27:35.900 I'm so excited to be able to introduce you to our next guest.

01:28:01.420 You may have seen him a million times on Fox News.

01:28:04.620 He was a foreign correspondent from 2011 and I think until about 20.

01:28:08.900 He's now the host of On Balance, the News Nation chief Washington anchor.

01:28:15.120 But there's so much you don't know about this guy that is remarkable, just remarkable.

01:28:23.400 Can't wait for you to hear his story.

01:28:25.240 Leland Vitter joins us in just a second.

01:28:27.060 First, the promise God made to Abraham, the covenants he established, the law that reveals

01:28:31.740 his character, the prophets who spoke his word, and the gospel that changed the world, all

01:28:35.760 of it came through the Jewish people.

01:28:37.180 And as Christians, we share roots.

01:28:38.760 We share scripture.

01:28:39.620 We share the story of God who kept his word through the people, even under persecution

01:28:44.240 and exile.

01:28:45.340 They preserve that for us.

01:28:47.000 Supporting the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, how gratitude becomes

01:28:51.200 action.

01:28:51.780 How thank you turns into a real help for people in need.

01:28:55.060 When you stand with the fellowship, I do.

01:28:57.700 I not only meet practical needs, the food, the heat, the care, and the vulnerable for Jewish

01:29:02.140 communities, but also honor those who guarded our spiritual foundation.

01:29:06.220 I'm saying we remember, we're with you, and never again is now.

01:29:09.800 Your faith was shaped by the promise of Abraham, the words of the prophets, and the gospel you

01:29:14.240 carry today.

01:29:16.000 That's your connection.

01:29:17.900 Discover the top reasons why Christians all over the world support Israel.

01:29:21.500 Visit ifcj.org.

01:29:23.540 That's ifcj.org.

01:29:27.240 Leland, great to have you on.

01:29:29.760 How are you, sir?

01:29:31.280 Pleasure to be with you, Glenn.

01:29:32.780 I remember when you and I worked together at Fox.

01:29:35.320 Absolutely.

01:29:36.200 Absolutely.

01:29:37.840 You, first, I want to start before I get into your story, because your story is so great.

01:29:44.180 Before we get into that, tell me your analysis, because you were a foreign correspondent based

01:29:49.340 in Jerusalem forever.

01:29:50.380 What is your take on what's happening right now over in Egypt and also in Israel?

01:29:58.100 That we don't understand right now, and that's fine in real time, how historic and seismic

01:30:06.340 the shift in the Middle East is right now, because Trump turned 50 years of conventional wisdom

01:30:13.940 on its head.

01:30:15.200 Jared Kushner understood and explained to Trump that the root of all the problems in the Middle

01:30:20.540 East is not the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

01:30:22.860 It is Iran.

01:30:23.740 And I think what we saw over the past eight months, and to be fair, over Trump's first

01:30:28.240 term, but it culminated in the past eight months, is the isolation and degradation of

01:30:33.680 both Iran's ability to act militarily on its own and its proxies.

01:30:38.320 And thus has allowed a total sea change in the power dynamic of the Middle East away from

01:30:46.020 Iran and towards the Gulf countries and towards Israel.

01:30:50.760 So that has totally changed everything.

01:30:57.260 And we're seeing, I think, the beginning of it, not the end of how much is going to change

01:31:02.420 in the Middle East for the good.

01:31:04.040 What does it mean?

01:31:05.200 What does today mean in five years or 10 years?

01:31:09.360 Look, the one thing I learned about being in the Middle East is if you want to predict

01:31:12.580 the future in the Middle East, okay, you must be a prophet himself.

01:31:17.500 You will be proven a fool.

01:31:18.880 And here's why, is because things change.

01:31:24.140 If two years ago I had told you after October 7th, Hezbollah and Hamas would be destroyed,

01:31:30.240 Iran's nuclear program would be in ashes, but the real threat both in Europe and in the

01:31:35.820 United States would be this wild rise of anti-Semitism and radical Islam terror now calling for the death

01:31:45.340 of Jews and attacks on Jews around the world, you would have called me crazy because everybody

01:31:50.260 would have said, oh, you know, everybody's going to rally around Israel.

01:31:52.240 It's the exact opposite of what has happened.

01:31:54.160 So I can't predict the future.

01:31:56.000 But what I can say is, is that for the first time, I think, since the Iranian revolution,

01:32:01.000 1979, there is a realization of where the real evil in the Middle East is and a willingness

01:32:07.380 by the United States to confront it honestly.

01:32:10.960 And boy, looking at how quickly things are changing.

01:32:13.760 There are people on the right, Leland now, that do not recognize Hamas as evil.

01:32:19.840 They are so down this rabbit hole of the Jews controlling the world and Donald Trump and, you know,

01:32:29.480 all of this stuff that they don't, I don't think they actually see the evil in the Middle East.

01:32:40.140 They see it coming from Israel.

01:32:42.340 It's bizarre, and I'm trying to get my arms around it to understand it and understand where

01:32:47.740 it's coming from, but have you noticed it in the right?

01:32:53.060 And what is the solution here?

01:32:56.860 Well, I think the solution, Glenn, is exactly what you're doing, which is calling it out for

01:33:01.780 what it is, which is it's not some new age critical way of thinking.

01:33:07.000 It's rank, anti-Semitism, and Jew hatred.

01:33:11.100 There's a difference.

01:33:12.220 You would agree with me that you can dislike what Israel, how Israel fought the war.

01:33:17.740 You can say, I don't want to fight their wars.

01:33:19.620 I don't want anything to do with it, and I disagree with them.

01:33:21.780 That's different than the message of, I'm for Hamas, or Israel has to be, you know, destroyed

01:33:29.880 because they're just, they're the source of all the problems in the world.

01:33:36.900 Yeah, and I'll go one step further.

01:33:38.760 It's different than saying Hamas is anything other than an evil terror organization.

01:33:44.980 There is good and evil in the world.

01:33:52.300 Yes.

01:33:52.620 There is a difference between the two, and I don't necessarily like the term moral clarity,

01:33:59.740 but I don't have a better one for what is required in these situations.

01:34:04.540 And this sort of Hamas-adjacent talking points or agreeing with these talking points, it's

01:34:09.680 no different than Mamdami, who sort of, it's like, well, Hamas may be bad, but they have

01:34:15.920 legitimate grievances.

01:34:17.420 No, they don't.

01:34:19.300 And I'm sorry.

01:34:20.200 Once you start raping and pillaging and waging war against civilians, I don't care what your

01:34:26.440 grievances are.

01:34:27.160 You must be destroyed, and then we can deal with whatever the other issues are later.

01:34:32.620 So what do you think happens to this Palestinian movement here in America now that this is

01:34:37.160 over?

01:34:38.640 I don't know, but it scares me, number one.

01:34:40.720 And I think, number two, what we've seen is it's not really a Palestinian movement.

01:34:45.620 It was an anti-Jew movement.

01:34:47.000 It was the sort of graphon of BLI, of the neo-Marxist oppressed oppressor worldview that

01:34:56.240 just grafted on to the pro-Palestinian movement.

01:35:01.140 But at their core, they're neo-Marxist anti-Semites.

01:35:05.180 And we know that because now that there is a peace deal in Gaza, okay, and ceasefire, and

01:35:10.180 if anything, it's going to help the Gazan people who they said were starving and so terribly

01:35:14.720 oppressed.

01:35:15.500 Well, they're not anymore.

01:35:17.000 But yet these people are still marching around calling for the death of Jews, right?

01:35:21.640 You know, when we knew a peace deal was happening on October 7th, there were thousands in the

01:35:25.440 streets of New York saying we needed another October 7th, this one even stronger.

01:35:31.720 So that's who we're dealing with.

01:35:34.160 And I appreciate you calling it out from the right, because I think there is an element

01:35:38.680 of the right.

01:35:39.280 But thank God there are people like you, Glenn, who on the right are saying this is crazy and

01:35:45.600 this is wrong and this is despicable.

01:35:47.720 That doesn't happen on the left.

01:35:49.360 You've got Kathy Hochul endorsing Mamdami in New York City.

01:35:52.660 That's the governor of the second or third largest state in the country endorsing a guy

01:35:57.820 who is Hamas adjacent.

01:35:59.060 That doesn't happen in the Republican Party or on the right.

01:36:02.440 Can it, though?

01:36:03.140 I mean, on the left, can it?

01:36:05.020 I mean, they have let this go for so long that it is really powerful.

01:36:09.680 And those are the kinds of people that do kill people.

01:36:14.220 And so it is so empowered on the left.

01:36:17.960 Can the politician expect to live if they go against this?

01:36:24.960 I think, Glenn, it requires politicians with actual moral courage.

01:36:29.900 And people can take from that what they will.

01:36:31.940 But if you are, if you're more concerned, if you're so concerned about your own political

01:36:35.800 future, as so many on the left are, that you are unwilling to name, shame, call out, whatever

01:36:44.160 you want to use the term as, people who are Hamas adjacent and those who endorse people

01:36:50.680 who are Hamas adjacent, that pretty much says everything about who you are and what you care

01:36:55.180 about.

01:36:56.120 I'm not sure it's just about your career politically, though, anymore.

01:37:00.880 I think we're, you know, we've entered a, you know this, we've turned a page.

01:37:04.580 And the violence is real now.

01:37:07.880 And there are people that are unhinged that will, they'll, they'll take you out.

01:37:14.580 They will take you out.

01:37:17.380 That, I think that's very true.

01:37:19.400 And I think where we are seeing the most of that language is from the left, but that is

01:37:25.200 a different discussion.

01:37:26.220 Yeah.

01:37:26.820 Let me take a one minute break because I don't want to introduce, I don't want to interrupt

01:37:29.760 you when you start on, on, on your story.

01:37:33.220 Because I don't think people understand what you've gone through to get where you are.

01:37:38.520 It is remarkable.

01:37:40.460 So we'll begin that here in just a second.

01:37:42.140 First, let me tell you about my Patriot Supply.

01:37:43.580 Every year, winter reminds us that our comfort is incredibly fragile.

01:38:36.060 and purified it and you could drink it.

01:38:38.960 I mean, I didn't.

01:38:40.100 We had an intern do it, but he was fine.

01:38:42.320 Anyway, you don't want the cold temperatures to catch you off guard or your family off guard

01:39:34.180 No, no, I was just going to say thank you.

01:39:35.560 Um, you know, I think what you're talking about is the fact that when I was five years

01:39:39.080 old, I was diagnosed with what we now know to be autism.

01:39:41.380 Um, and Born Lucky is the story of my dad adapting me to the world rather than the world to me.

01:39:50.220 And the reason, you know, we debuted on the New York Times bestseller list at number four,

01:39:54.400 and we've sold out three times on Amazon back in stock now is not because of me.

01:39:59.580 Um, you know, Glenn, I'm a television anchor, but I'm not that narcissistic to think it's

01:40:03.120 about me.

01:40:03.920 It's about this story.

01:40:05.360 And Born Lucky is proof for every parent of a kid who's having a hard time.

01:40:09.520 It doesn't matter if it's autism, anxiety, ADHD, anything.

01:40:13.460 It is proof for every parent of a kid who's having a hard time, how much power they have,

01:40:18.280 how much agency they have, what they can do.

01:40:21.360 And it's not anything that the experts tell you.

01:40:24.360 So when you were in fourth grade, you did an IQ test for the school and your spread was

01:40:29.160 68 points.

01:40:30.200 You were borderline retarded on the low end when it was your verbal test, but nonverbal, you

01:40:37.500 were in the genius category.

01:40:39.880 That's phenomenal.

01:40:41.460 Well, now my wife would tell me I'm probably still borderline many things, um, right now.

01:40:48.300 But so you pick up on this moment in the book where my parents are told they need to get

01:40:54.340 me evaluated, which is what no parent wants to hear.

01:40:57.360 Right.

01:40:57.520 And I was having terrible issues in school.

01:40:59.360 So I never got invited to a birthday party or anything like that.

01:41:02.060 But if a kid touched me in line, I would turn around and hit them.

01:41:05.360 Uh, you know, kids would make jokes and I would try to be serious.

01:41:07.840 I would run into kids on the playground.

01:41:09.300 It just, nothing worked and had really terrible sensory issues.

01:41:13.420 You know, uh, I had my socks on the way I didn't like or a jacket or anything like that.

01:41:17.420 I would completely melt down.

01:41:18.820 And then obviously what was all these learning disabilities.

01:41:21.480 So the parents take me to this medical office building for all this testing, linoleum floors,

01:41:27.340 bad magazines, old coffee, whatever.

01:41:29.920 They wait for two hours.

01:41:31.180 They're terrified.

01:41:31.920 I'm their son.

01:41:33.880 Uh, who's that my sister at the time was one or two years old.

01:41:36.680 So they bring me back from all the testing and they say to my parents, we really don't

01:41:43.220 understand what's going on inside his head.

01:41:45.580 Um, you know, severe learning disabilities, terrible behavioral problems, awful sensory issues,

01:41:49.940 all the things of what we now know to be autism.

01:41:53.720 And my dad said, what do we do?

01:41:55.640 And the woman said, there's not much.

01:41:57.440 And he said, is there anything we can do?

01:41:59.360 And she said, generally not.

01:42:00.840 And that began my dad's quest to adapt me to the world and to find things that I could

01:42:08.500 have self-esteem in and to, to help me earn self-esteem rather than given.

01:42:13.320 So I wasn't going to be good at school.

01:42:14.800 Wasn't going to have friends.

01:42:15.880 Wasn't going to be good at athletics, but he started me at that age a little bit earlier,

01:42:19.960 actually doing 200 pushups a day, five days a week, hard work, effort equals achievement.

01:42:25.500 It's something you can take pride in.

01:42:27.380 Um, your character was a huge part of his lessons.

01:42:29.960 Um, something you can take pride in.

01:42:32.420 And that was, that was this process.

01:42:34.460 And you write in the book about the pushups.

01:42:35.940 It was also so your dad, dad knew you were going to need to protect yourself, right?

01:42:40.060 Yeah.

01:42:40.580 No, I look at my sister who plays a really important role in this book.

01:42:44.640 And I think one of the things that people don't understand and so many families are suffering

01:42:49.180 silently right now and feel alone with their kid who's having a hard time.

01:42:53.820 Doesn't matter what the issue is, is how much the siblings are affected.

01:42:56.980 I mean, my sister's a PhD in math and professor at MIT and Harvard and, you know, unbelievable

01:43:02.140 in every way.

01:43:03.060 But, you know, her first memories of me, and I didn't know this until we interviewed her

01:43:07.280 for Born Lucky, is she was in kindergarten.

01:43:10.680 I was in fifth grade.

01:43:11.640 And I would come from my classroom downstairs to her classroom, pick her up, and then we

01:43:16.140 would walk home.

01:43:16.900 It's about a quarter mile.

01:43:18.060 And we would get to the back of the school where the PE fields were to the woods, which

01:43:22.400 led to our house.

01:43:23.880 And as we walked into the woods, Liberty said, the first memory of my brother ever was every

01:43:29.500 day when he got to the woods, he would start crying.

01:43:32.960 And I would hold his hand as I walked home with him.

01:43:36.840 And, you know, that was the bullying and the isolation and sort of the crushing issues

01:43:43.460 that came not only from the kids, but from the teachers as I grew up.

01:43:48.200 Because, you know, my dad never told anybody about this diagnosis.

01:43:51.160 No teachers, no counselors, nothing.

01:43:53.580 Wow.

01:43:53.980 And so take me through some of the things that your dad did, because I'm impressed with you

01:44:03.480 and what you've accomplished.

01:44:04.320 But your father is remarkable.

01:44:07.900 How did he come up with the things that he did?

01:44:10.600 Because you are more than fully functional in today's society.

01:44:16.740 You're a huge success.

01:44:18.900 What did he do to get you there?

01:44:21.580 Well, it's a great question.

01:44:22.680 I would just tell you, and I'll give you a story a little later, that I still deal with

01:44:26.980 this every day.

01:44:28.320 You know, autism is not something you're ever cured of.

01:44:30.280 This is a daily, almost hourly discipline of seeing the world as others see them, as

01:44:36.200 my dad taught me to interact and understand the social fabric.

01:44:40.460 But, you know, one thing he did, he knew I wasn't going to have any friends.

01:44:43.680 So as he said, I thought maybe I could be your friend.

01:44:46.100 So starting at five or six, he and I spent hundreds of hours together every month.

01:44:49.960 I mean, thousands of hours together.

01:44:52.680 And he would take me to lunches with his friends.

01:44:57.120 And I would have loved to have gone to a lunch like with Mr. Beck, right?

01:44:59.920 Because I was a mini me to my dad.

01:45:02.160 He talked to me about politics and news and events and on and on.

01:45:04.860 And we would get to lunch and you would be talking about, you know, your family or whatever you

01:45:11.100 were doing that weekend or whatever.

01:45:12.040 And I would interrupt like a thousand questions a minute where, you know, how do you pick your

01:45:17.580 topics?

01:45:18.100 How do you do your monologue?

01:45:19.500 Where do you get your advertisers from?

01:45:21.180 How much do you charge for ads?

01:45:22.360 On and on and on.

01:45:23.020 And my dad then would never say anything publicly to me, but he would tap his watch.

01:45:27.460 And that was my cue to stop talking, number one.

01:45:30.640 But number two, to kind of bookmark that, right?

01:45:33.440 And so now we're driving home in the car.

01:45:36.160 And he says, OK, Lucky, you know, when Mr. Beck was talking about his weekend plans or his lunch

01:45:40.880 with, you know, whoever, whatever it was, and you interrupted and asked about his commercials,

01:45:47.960 why did you think Mr. Beck wanted to talk about commercials at that moment?

01:45:51.680 Well, gee, dad, I don't know.

01:45:52.980 I thought it was interesting.

01:45:54.080 OK, well, what could we have talked about that Mr. Beck would have found interesting?

01:45:58.220 That was what he was talking about.

01:46:00.020 How do you connect with him?

01:46:01.160 And that was the basis of granularly teaching me the social and emotional connections of

01:46:11.420 everyday life.

01:46:12.480 And Born Lucky is that story of how my dad made me understand that he loved me, but that,

01:46:18.640 boy, there was so much work I had to do to fit in in the world.

01:46:24.000 At one point, you know, there was a kid, you write in the book, a kid in middle school who

01:46:30.900 kept pushing me, both figuratively, literally teachers wouldn't do anything, came home,

01:46:35.680 told my dad what the kids had done, blah, blah, blah.

01:46:38.400 I finally asked, can I hit him yet?

01:46:41.360 Right.

01:46:42.360 Tell that story.

01:46:44.160 So you have to understand that the school situation that I was in, I'd been pulled out

01:46:48.580 of two or three schools before I get started in seventh grade.

01:46:52.880 It was a seventh through twelfth grade school.

01:46:54.460 And two weeks into school, the principal calls my parents in.

01:46:58.000 So my parents think they're coming in for like a normal, like, hey,

01:47:00.980 how's two weeks going into school?

01:47:02.620 And they're sitting there and the principal sits my parents down in the little, you know,

01:47:10.420 office, looks across the desk at them and says, everybody at this school thinks Lucky

01:47:15.940 is really weird.

01:47:17.920 So that's arrow number one through my parents' heart.

01:47:20.920 And then she follows up and I do too.

01:47:24.340 So I had no protection, right?

01:47:26.900 There was an eighth grade art teacher who didn't think I was going to become Picasso

01:47:31.440 and said in front of the entire class, hey, Vitter, if my dog was ugly as you, I would

01:47:36.440 shave its bleep and make it walk backwards.

01:47:38.880 So that was the environment I lived in every day.

01:47:41.180 But there was this kid and he kept Maldon off and my dad had turned me into a pretty hefty

01:47:46.840 little fellow.

01:47:47.400 I was fat and kind of chunky and awkward, but I was pretty strong.

01:47:51.780 And, you know, my dad had said, you know, the way you deal with bullies, you eventually

01:47:55.200 just hit him in the nose.

01:47:56.240 And I didn't, I slammed his head down on the desk, but it was the beginning of me starting

01:48:06.060 to fight back.

01:48:06.940 And I think Born Lucky, people will see how fighting back affected me.

01:48:11.260 That was the last time you had to do that, correct?

01:48:15.460 It was the last time I was allowed to.

01:48:17.660 Okay.

01:50:05.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:50:11.340 Allie Bastuckey had her women's conference this weekend and it was fabulous.

01:50:16.900 There were 6,000 women, you know, in a very large arena.

01:50:23.480 And it was just so great.

01:50:26.260 So great.

01:50:26.840 And she's also on the Surrounded, you know, Jubilee Surrounded.

01:50:32.940 Oh.

01:50:34.300 Any desire to do that, you know, where they put you in a room with all these people who

01:50:40.100 disagree with you and they surround you and then one comes up to the table and then somebody

01:50:43.820 else comes up to the table and you just have to keep going?

01:50:47.020 I've seen the clips of this and it's interesting.

01:50:50.400 Allie just did this one and she did a very good job.

01:50:53.020 Very good.

01:50:53.540 And I've seen some other clips where other conservatives have done good jobs on it.

01:50:56.060 But like, Glenn, when I say to you that not only do I not want to do it, I really have

01:51:02.020 a tough time even watching a clip of it.

01:51:05.020 Thank you.

01:51:05.420 I don't know what it is.

01:51:06.320 I thought it was just me.

01:51:07.220 I, hey, I think it's become, with me.

01:51:09.400 It's a brilliant idea.

01:51:10.340 I grew up in a alcoholic family where I, and I was the one that would always try to make

01:51:18.560 a joke so I could break the tension in the family, you know?

01:51:22.560 And my gosh, I just, I hate, it's so strange that I do this for a living because I hate

01:51:30.060 conflict.

01:51:31.480 I hate it.

01:51:32.880 I can't make it through an episode.

01:51:34.400 I can't either.

01:51:35.060 I don't know what it is.

01:51:36.020 It makes, the whole setup makes me uncomfortable to watch.

01:51:38.520 And I don't, you know, some of the episodes, like the one I saw, I did see a clip of Allie's

01:51:43.160 and she was, she did a great job, but she was up talking to someone who was making a,

01:51:49.480 in my view, very wrong argument about abortion, but also very civil.

01:51:55.360 And it seemed like someone who had some thoughts on the issue that were relatively well thought

01:52:00.700 out, even though I thought they were wrong.

01:52:02.000 And that was a little bit better.

01:52:03.280 Some of the other ones I've seen have just been like, hey, here's a white supremacist.

01:52:06.780 It's like, you're like, I don't even know what I would get out of that.

01:52:10.160 But like, you're, there's something about the setup that is, it makes me very uncomfortable

01:52:13.460 to watch.

01:52:14.660 I don't like confrontation.

01:52:16.740 Might be that, I don't know.

01:52:18.260 Let me go to, you avoid that too.

01:52:20.280 You avoid confrontation.

01:52:21.720 We both do.

01:52:22.380 I don't, I mean, I try not to.

01:52:25.100 I don't, there's not.

01:52:26.220 Here's what you're talking about, that Allie unsurrounded about abortion.

01:52:32.760 My concern about the way that you present the abortion issue is you have claimed in

01:52:42.300 the past that the liberal pro-choice position is that we don't give the whole truth about

01:52:49.340 the abortion issue.

01:52:50.400 That's probably true.

01:52:51.900 And you liken it as violent.

01:52:53.320 You've described it here as killing.

01:52:55.360 Abortion is violent.

01:52:56.560 And painful.

01:52:57.540 Yes.

01:52:57.940 For the child.

01:52:58.840 Absolutely.

01:52:59.200 My problem, my concern is that you are doing the same thing by not telling women the truth

01:53:05.860 that when the majority of abortions happen, which is in the first six weeks of pregnancy,

01:53:11.160 that fetus has not developed pain receptors.

01:53:13.560 That doesn't happen till maybe of the earliest 10 weeks, Allie.

01:53:17.340 So are you saying that murder-

01:53:18.840 Most experts say 22 to 24 weeks.

01:53:20.920 Is killing only wrong if someone can feel pain?

01:53:23.500 It's wrong for you to characterize it as violent and painful when it's not.

01:53:29.400 It is violent.

01:53:30.300 Of course it's violent.

01:53:31.200 Even when you take the abortion pill, you are starving that human being.

01:53:34.280 If you want to call him or her a zygote or a fetus, that's all fine.

01:53:38.120 Those are all stages of development that all of us went through, that all children go through.

01:53:42.180 It is still the killing of a human being.

01:53:44.640 And when you take the abortion pill, the two-part abortion pill, you are starving that human

01:53:49.000 being of the nutrients that he or she needs to survive.

01:53:52.140 That they can't feel.

01:53:52.820 And that is violent.

01:53:53.500 That they can't feel.

01:53:54.200 Are you saying, there are a lot of people who are murdered who can't feel it.

01:53:57.260 Are you saying that that murder is justified because they can't feel it?

01:54:00.600 No, we're talking about abortion, Allie.

01:54:02.420 We're not talking about something else.

01:54:03.620 We're talking about abortion.

01:54:04.520 But I'm trying to understand your logic.

01:54:06.900 You are saying that abortion is okay because babies don't feel it.

01:54:09.440 So I'm asking you, is killing another innocent person when they don't feel it, is that justified?

01:54:14.620 Abortion is health care for women who need it, who have-

01:54:18.800 In what other case is killing an innocent person-

01:54:21.360 12-year-old girls who have been raped, who have experienced incest, Allie?

01:54:26.640 That's less than 1% of all abortions.

01:54:29.440 Can we agree?

01:54:30.020 So most of the abortions happen within the first six weeks.

01:54:32.380 If I said to you, okay.

01:54:33.700 And it's not painful and violent.

01:54:34.500 If I said to you, okay, fine.

01:54:35.720 This is not the clip I saw, actually.

01:54:37.360 We will only allow, which this is not my position, but if I said we will only allow abortion

01:54:41.260 in those 1% of cases in which it's rape or incest, would you agree with me to ban the rest of abortions?

01:54:47.180 The denial of abortion health care to women is 100% harmful to the woman who absolutely needs it.

01:54:54.860 And abortion is 100% harmful to the child.

01:54:57.240 Mental health care, physical health care.

01:54:58.900 Killing an innocent person is not health care.

01:55:01.180 Can you tell me another situation in which killing a person intentionally is health care?

01:55:05.160 All right, listen to this one.

01:55:06.160 Listen to this one.

01:55:07.100 This is Allie, unsurrounded, surrounded by Christians on LGBTQ.

01:55:12.140 So I'm a pastor of a church that is growing and not just with straight individuals, not just people that look like me,

01:55:20.220 but queer individuals that have some of the greatest fruit of the spirit that I've ever seen.

01:55:25.580 Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, self-control, all of those things.

01:55:29.200 First, I just would love to hear your thought on how someone so sinful could produce such wonderful fruit.

01:55:35.520 But I'm really happy to talk about this stuff.

01:55:37.220 But I just want to hear that because you've given really interesting and good arguments,

01:55:40.260 but that's one that I have a hard time reconciling.

01:55:42.640 Well, all of us sin and all of us struggle with sin.

01:55:45.820 And I've met lots of people from all different walks of life that are joyful and kind.

01:55:50.380 And God gives us what we call the gift of common grace,

01:55:53.360 that there are people who are not Christians who might exude some of the characteristics

01:55:56.980 that we want to embody as Christians.

01:55:59.220 But that doesn't mean that everything they do or everything they believe or everything they say

01:56:03.760 is in alignment with Scripture.

01:56:06.320 And so that's what I would say there.

01:56:07.720 I have no doubt that the people that you know who identify as LGBTQ are also really kind

01:56:13.000 and really patient and really joyful and might have characteristics that we all want to emulate.

01:56:17.700 But that doesn't mean that every part of their life is in alignment with what we see God say in His Word.

01:56:23.800 And because of that, they wouldn't inherit the kingdom of heaven,

01:56:26.140 like pretty much every one of those things.

01:56:27.600 None of us, if we don't pick up our cross and follow Christ,

01:56:31.400 by the grace of Christ, by the way, it's not our own merit.

01:56:34.300 None of us bring any...

01:56:35.440 None of these individuals, yeah, I'm with you.

01:56:37.220 Nothing that we could do could ever deserve salvation.

01:56:41.100 God gives it to us in Christ.

01:56:43.000 But because of that grace, because of that love that He has given us,

01:56:46.340 all of us are told to deny sin.

01:56:48.880 All of us are told to repent.

01:56:50.200 And so I think when we tell someone who says,

01:56:53.300 you know what, this is how I identify,

01:56:54.680 it's not in alignment with what God calls good and holy,

01:56:58.660 that we are actually burdening them with more sin.

01:57:02.400 Whereas we all need to be free of our slavery to sin.

01:57:06.820 She's so happy.

01:57:08.180 Yeah, well, that's the right approach.

01:57:09.400 She's always in those moments.

01:57:10.980 She's great.

01:57:11.520 And the questions were, I mean, again,

01:57:13.460 like the first guy made a lot of bad points.

01:57:16.520 And when he was called on the bad points,

01:57:18.120 just stopped answering them and went down other roads.

01:57:20.580 That's what frustrated me about that show.

01:57:22.160 That's what I see a lot on that.

01:57:23.660 Again, it's a brilliant idea.

01:57:25.040 And it's huge.

01:57:25.720 It's a huge podcast.

01:57:26.400 People really like it.

01:57:28.040 And she did a great job there.

01:57:29.340 The clip that I saw was a very calm guy.

01:57:31.960 Then they went back and forth very calmly.

01:57:33.440 That one was as well, I thought.

01:57:35.040 There's some good moments on it.

01:57:36.280 But you feel the same way I do about it.

01:57:38.100 I just can't, I don't know.

01:57:38.820 I can't, it's not for me.

01:57:39.420 So you know what the tip-off was in the first guy?

01:57:41.700 And if you were watching Blaze TV, you saw it.

01:57:43.980 His hands were shaking.

01:57:45.280 The whole time his hands were shaking.

01:57:46.880 And that's not from nerves.

01:57:48.600 That's from, I think it's from anger.

01:57:50.620 I think it's from anger.

01:57:51.280 You're trying to withhold yourself.

01:57:53.680 Yes.

01:57:54.560 Your anchor from the outburst.

01:57:55.200 Because I've been, were you in the meeting with the communist?

01:57:57.780 The very, very, very famous writer from Hollywood.

01:58:02.400 Comedic writer.

01:58:03.340 You know who he is.

01:58:04.600 Written some of the best sitcoms in the country.

01:58:07.540 Yes.

01:58:08.260 Were you in that meeting with him?

01:58:09.560 Yeah.

01:58:10.120 And remember he came in and his hands were shaking.

01:58:13.140 And he's like, I hate you.

01:58:15.960 I hate everything about you.

01:58:17.660 And I'm not going to fall for your traps.

01:58:19.660 He's like, everybody who meets you, they end up saying you're really likable and you're

01:58:23.540 a nice guy.

01:58:24.020 But I know it.

01:58:25.240 I'm not falling for your traps.

01:58:26.800 This was the beginning of a business meeting.

01:58:29.540 And he was just shaking.

01:58:31.780 He was so angry.

01:58:33.840 And I said, we can't have a meeting.

01:58:37.060 We can't.

01:58:37.680 You've got to get it off your chest.

01:58:39.080 And so he went on for 20 minutes and just went on.

01:58:42.380 And I just sat there and listened to him.

01:58:43.840 And okay.

01:58:44.560 All right.

01:58:44.880 And anyway, and then he said, okay, we can do our meeting now.

01:58:48.300 And I'm like, nah, I don't think so.

01:58:49.820 It's not all out.

01:58:50.620 And then he went for another 20 minutes.

01:58:52.020 We were 45 minutes into this meeting before.

01:58:54.940 And I only had 15 minutes left.

01:58:57.580 But we've ridden each other since.

01:59:00.560 Oh, really?

01:59:01.420 He fell for the act.

01:59:03.680 You tricked him.

01:59:04.500 No, but I mean, we're not buddies, but we're not enemies.

01:59:08.660 And when I saw that, I saw that guy's hands shaking.

01:59:12.180 And you could see there's so much rage inside.

01:59:14.740 I guess that's one of the things I can't handle, is the rage that is in people now.

01:59:21.120 Yeah.

01:59:21.860 Yeah.

01:59:22.100 I think you have to be really mentally prepared and be a certain type of person.

01:59:26.500 I think there's different roles for different people within the movement.

01:59:29.280 Yeah, that's not my role.

01:59:30.060 And that's Allie's role.

01:59:32.000 She's really good at that type of thing.

01:59:33.400 It was Charlie's role.

01:59:35.000 Charlie groomed her on that.

01:59:37.180 I mean, Charlie really taught her.

01:59:37.960 They worked together.

01:59:38.900 I know she tweeted some of their conversations about preparing for this particular thing.

01:59:44.900 You know, he was really good at that.

01:59:46.400 But that's not everybody.

01:59:48.100 You know, you have to have different...

01:59:49.480 There's different roles for different people.

01:59:51.680 And I think sometimes with that stuff, I can't...

01:59:54.780 It's not the type of content I want.

01:59:58.380 Like, I just...

01:59:58.960 I don't know.

02:00:00.000 I get more out of reading the best argument

02:00:03.400 from some really smart person on one side

02:00:05.460 and the best argument from some really person on the other side.

02:00:07.660 I love reading people who I firmly disagree with.

02:00:10.980 You know what I mean?

02:00:11.760 Yeah.

02:00:11.820 I love reading the other side and really reading it.

02:00:14.360 Yeah.

02:00:14.780 Because there's no rage.

02:00:15.840 There's no...

02:00:16.300 It's just...

02:00:17.040 I mean, if it's an honest argument.

02:00:18.580 Yeah.

02:00:19.320 I love that.

02:00:20.480 Well, because there's something about that format, and it's the same thing with presidential

02:00:23.760 debates, frankly, that boils down the policy and structural arguments that are going on

02:00:33.140 into a parlor trick of who can come up, who can access that information at the exact right

02:00:38.620 time and express it the best way.

02:00:39.960 That doesn't mean that they'll do it the...

02:00:42.200 It doesn't mean they'll be the best president, right?

02:00:44.240 Like, you know, if Barack Obama, you know, beats up on, you know, whatever, you know, I

02:00:48.800 can barely remember John McCain as a candidate, it doesn't mean that he's a better president.

02:00:53.140 It was just that, like, he might be a better debater, or he might just be better at accessing

02:00:57.220 that information in that moment or coming up with...

02:00:59.740 It's more of a...

02:01:00.560 You see how good J.D. Vance is at it.

02:01:03.040 He would be incredibly frustrating to me if I were a liberal, because he's so good at

02:01:09.500 finding all of the good arguments in quick moments and saying them calmly and effectively.

02:01:14.560 And, like, you might say, well, nope, that's the wrong policy.

02:01:17.720 It's the wrong thing for the country.

02:01:19.200 But it doesn't matter in those moments, because that format delivers not necessarily what is

02:01:23.800 the best policy or best argument, but who's best at that thing?

02:01:28.080 Who's best at the debate?

02:01:29.280 Who's best at it?

02:01:29.960 Allie, you know, I think wins all those arguments on its merit, but she's also very, very good

02:01:35.320 at maintaining the proper tone and accessing that information and delivering it in the proper

02:01:39.920 way.

02:01:40.420 She's good at both of those things.

02:01:41.600 Don't know how she does it.

02:01:42.440 No, she's great.

02:01:43.360 Don't know how she does it.

02:01:44.020 But I don't want to do that.

02:01:44.540 Because she's a softie, although she's not.

02:01:47.120 No, yeah, she's a softie.

02:01:48.940 She appears to be a softie.

02:01:50.960 She scares me.

02:01:52.380 She scares me.

02:01:52.940 If you're on the wrong case, she knows how to...

02:01:55.880 She is, yeah.

02:01:56.460 She can pick you apart, and that's great.

02:01:58.220 Yeah.

02:01:58.480 It's great.

02:01:58.860 All right, back in just a second.

02:02:00.820 Every life begins as a sound, a steady, flickering heartbeat.

02:02:04.280 That sound changes everything, because in that moment, a listening mom hears life.

02:02:09.480 Here's a heartbeat.

02:02:11.640 Preborn exists to make sure more mothers get to hear that sound.

02:02:14.860 They partner with clinics all across the country to provide free ultrasounds and counseling

02:02:18.680 for women who face unplanned pregnancies.

02:02:20.760 You know, there's a reason why people who are on the side of abortion do not want mothers

02:02:24.900 or Planned Parenthood or anybody else to offer an ultrasound.

02:02:28.240 I mean, they fought that and fought that and fought that.

02:02:30.220 No ultrasound, no ultrasound.

02:02:31.360 Reason why?

02:02:32.280 Because then you're like, that is a baby.

02:02:35.400 Statistics show when a mom sees her baby like that, she is much more likely to choose life.

02:02:40.180 And when she does, preborn is there, offering practical support, baby supplies, classes, compassion.

02:02:46.280 Every donation helps another heartbeat to be heard, another family given hope.

02:02:51.540 You're not just funding a machine or a program.

02:02:53.560 You're giving a mom a chance to hear her child say, Mom.

02:02:56.740 This is why the truth really matters now more than ever, because when a mom hears it, lives are saved.

02:03:03.040 $28 will provide a free ultrasound, and this is your chance to make a difference that will echo through the eternities.

02:03:09.260 Will you answer the call?

02:03:10.560 Go to preborn.com slash Beck.

02:03:12.280 That's preborn.com slash Beck, or dial pound 250 on your phone and say the keyword baby.

02:03:16.680 That's pound 250, keyword baby.

02:03:18.480 Do it now, because life matters.

02:03:20.900 Sponsored by Preborn.

02:03:21.720 A wise man once said, trust in God and always keep watch on the gate.

02:03:29.360 I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me.

02:03:33.660 This is Glenn Beck.

02:03:51.720 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

02:03:56.220 Watching what is going on at the Mid-Ace Peace Summit right now, all the world leaders are coming up to Donald Trump one at a time and getting their picture taken with him.

02:04:06.920 It is bizarre.

02:04:08.600 I've never seen anything like this again.

02:04:10.320 Usually, you know, all the leaders get together and take one big photo, but they're coming up one by one and greeting him and talking to him and then getting their picture taken.

02:04:23.080 It's remarkable.

02:04:24.800 Today has been a remarkable day.

02:04:26.220 All 20 living hostages have been returned.

02:04:28.460 The hostage crisis is now over.

02:04:31.040 It's over.

02:04:31.720 And he was in Jerusalem today in Tel Aviv, and then he got back on the plane and flew to Egypt, and now he's in Egypt meeting with all of the leaders, except for, you know, I don't think Syria is there, and I don't think Iran is there.

02:04:48.300 Obviously, Iran's not there.

02:04:49.420 But Egypt, Bahrain, you know, Saudi Arabia, all of these, Turkey, all of these countries are together working on a peace deal that is just epic, just epic.

02:05:07.220 And, you know, it's his business savvy that is the difference here.

02:05:13.240 He knows how to make a deal.

02:05:14.740 And his objective, I think maybe, like, unlike other presidents, some people wanted a two-state solution.

02:05:21.340 Some people wanted the Jews to win, the Palestinians to win, whatever.

02:05:24.980 Trump just wants peace.

02:05:26.840 Trump is like, look, we are all better off if we're not fighting.

02:05:31.440 And so why don't we come up with some peace deals so we can have peace in the region, and let's just keep working it until we get to solutions that everybody's happy with, which is remarkable.

02:05:42.340 Remarkable.

02:05:42.780 Yeah, and, you know, it's a tough process.

02:05:46.660 The whole thing feels like pie in the sky at some level, right?

02:05:51.160 There's so much still more to come.

02:05:52.660 But what's, I think, fascinating about this quickly is just that this is done.

02:05:57.240 This part of it is done.

02:05:58.460 The hostages are back.

02:05:59.840 They're not going to be returned.

02:06:01.440 There's not like no one's going to come over.

02:06:02.640 Hey, by the way, the peace talks broke down.

02:06:05.400 You got to come back to Gaza.

02:06:07.000 None of that's happening.

02:06:07.740 This part is over.

02:06:08.620 And it was the biggest part we talked about and massively crucial.

02:06:12.420 And no matter what comes forward from here, at least these families have their family member back home.

02:06:19.280 And I think for the first time the Middle East is on the same page that they know who the enemy is.

02:06:26.020 And the enemy is not Israel.

02:06:27.440 It is Iran.

02:06:28.220 And because they've been saying that for easy, a decade, kind of openly, but for decades behind the scene, you know, we knew who the real trouble was in the Middle East.

02:06:45.300 And the Arabs just didn't want to fight with other Arabs.

02:06:50.220 They're just like, leave it alone, leave it alone, leave it alone.

02:06:52.000 And they realize they can't leave it alone because it's becoming so toxic to everything.

02:06:57.420 And that's what he brought together.

02:06:59.120 That's how he's cobbled this coalition together.

02:07:02.100 And I pray that it lasts.

02:07:06.620 I mean, at least as long as the Lord will let it last.

02:07:10.540 I mean, we know how it ends in the end, but please let it last for a while.

02:07:17.020 This is Glenn Beck.
