Transcript
00:00:00.000
You just had to have that late night gas station burrito, didn't you?
00:00:03.380
You told yourself it was a bad idea, but you're like, I'm an adult.
00:00:06.800
And then you walked away because, you know, nobody makes it quite like they do at 1147 p.m.
00:00:12.260
And now you're standing there waiting for change and the door swings open and the guy with a knife decides this is his big moment.
00:00:18.060
The only thing you have right now is that big burrito.
00:00:21.520
You could throw it at his open mouth, hoping that maybe you would put him in the john for a while so you could get out.
00:00:27.200
Or you have a non-lethal option right there in your back, and that's the Burna Launcher.
00:00:32.320
It fires powerful chemical irritant projectiles designed to disrupt a threat and create distance without using deadly force.
00:00:39.000
Now, tear gas, if you've already eaten the burrito, maybe you'll come prepared with that yourself.
00:00:49.780
And right now, Burna is offering 10% off site-wide.
00:00:53.400
Try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse location near you.
00:01:03.760
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:01:10.020
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:17.460
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:01:20.800
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:01:34.800
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:02:17.560
The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
00:02:41.920
I have been studying and been in prayer all weekend for today's show.
00:02:52.900
I understand where we are as a society, where you may be, where many of your friends may be, and how divided we are.
00:03:03.160
And, you know, every time I would turn on television and I would watch, I would see somebody who was saying, on one side or the other, you're a traitor if you don't believe this.
00:03:21.160
Um, so I'm not going to put you in that position where you're a traitor if you don't agree with me.
00:03:27.920
Um, I, I want to answer a few things today for me, but I want to show you how I thought about these things.
00:03:38.600
So you can then do your own homework and you can decide.
00:03:42.480
I do not want to convince you one way or another, because quite honestly, I don't know how this is going to end.
00:03:52.080
Uh, and so I'm not, I don't think we should do anything like this because, yeah, our side, whatever.
00:04:00.760
Um, I wanted to answer a couple of questions, actually four of them.
00:04:04.420
One, is this a just war using the just war theory is, does this even fit the category?
00:04:12.840
More importantly, actually, what should be number one is, is this America first?
00:04:22.340
One of my principles is I am not for these forever wars.
00:04:28.080
I don't want to get involved in everybody else's business that ties to the first two.
00:04:34.300
And then the last one, is this, is this a distraction or is this big vision?
00:04:48.040
We also are going to take you, uh, to the middle East with Jack Carr and see if Jack can give us any kind of perspective on what he sees and what happened.
00:04:57.420
And also, uh, want to talk to, uh, the former spokesperson for the IDF because there's some amazing claims coming out.
00:05:06.620
Uh, I don't know if you heard about the dentists that put tracking devices in some of their teeth.
00:05:12.140
I will tell you this, the United States is not to be messed with second on that probably would be Israel.
0.66
00:05:22.240
Anybody who says I'm not going to give them my iris scan.
00:05:29.260
But anybody who thinks they can just fall off the grid.
00:05:32.620
I think this weekend shows there is no place to hide.
00:05:35.540
God help us if this technology ever falls into hostile hands, because there's no place to hide on earth.
00:05:45.120
There is no place they can't kill you easily kill you.
00:05:51.360
Uh, we're going to start with a kind of a tick tock rundown on what happened this weekend and what is still going on.
00:06:07.740
Um, Tom wrote in and this is what he said about rush tax resolution.
00:06:16.040
We make precision parts with tight, tight tolerances and no margin for error.
00:06:31.680
I had to keep my guys employed and the payroll taxes got away from me.
00:06:36.740
Next thing I knew, I was looking at a levy on my business accounts, the money that I used to pay employees.
00:06:47.260
They got the collections paused and negotiated an arrangement I could actually afford without shutting my doors.
00:06:55.600
When you mention my name, Rush is going to provide a free IRS transcript investigation,
00:07:01.260
a service other firms typically charge $500 for, often without even confirming that they can help you.
00:07:09.820
And they'll only take their case, your case, if they can promise that they can help you.
00:07:25.760
Let me bring Jason Buttrell in, who is the host of our Behind the Scenes Insider podcast,
00:07:37.580
which coincides with this show, to give more information.
00:07:41.660
And today you're going to be really busy today in breaks because we can't get to all the information we've just spent about 90 minutes talking about in highlight form.
00:07:58.040
First, let me see if I can take us through kind of a tick-tock on what happened.
00:08:06.740
Uh, and all of this was conducted here at Mar-a-Lago.
00:08:12.260
Um, and he gave a speech early in the morning where he said, we have launched an attack.
00:08:18.860
Um, and we struck 500 plus targets across Iran, uh, including missile sites and command centers.
00:08:26.260
Uh, the, the Supreme leader, the Ayatollah, uh, Khamenei was killed in that air, uh, campaign.
00:08:36.180
They didn't verify that, but he and 40 leaders in a, in something that should tell you, man, there is no place to hide.
00:08:44.280
And we knew exactly where this guy was, the CIA did, and we gave the information to Israel and said, you want to go get that guy, go get that guy.
00:09:00.440
Um, the other thing that people are talking about is the primary school in Southern Iran.
00:09:05.760
It was hit in the attacks and scores of children were killed.
00:09:10.920
Um, that just heightens, you know, the crime, you know, these are war crimes.
0.90
00:09:18.380
There's nobody that is trying to avoid those things.
00:09:21.120
I mean, look at the precision strikes we're making.
00:09:23.680
Do you really think that we actually targeted a school?
00:09:29.080
I mean, just think this through gang, what would our motive be for that to be the pariah of the world?
00:09:36.360
I mean, even if, even if we had evil in our hearts and we're like, yeah, and then we're going to kill all the children.
00:09:43.860
You'd never do that openly, especially on the first day.
00:09:46.960
And that's assuming you had evil in their hearts.
00:09:54.340
And the way this is being fought is for the very first time in my lifetime, um, we have a president, uh, and you can disagree with all of this and the way he's fighting, but we have a president who knows how to carry a very big stick.
00:10:11.200
He is, I have always believed, I was explaining to Ricky today about the fuel air bomb.
00:10:18.120
Fuel air bomb is one of the most devastating things we have.
00:10:21.940
Um, it sprays a mist of fuel over the battlefield.
00:10:30.080
And what that does, you know, if you're standing on the battlefield, you look up suddenly and the whole sky is on fire.
00:10:35.720
But what that does is it takes the oxygen out, literally out of the lungs of every soldier on the battlefield.
00:10:48.860
Um, and I have always felt, I mean, that's such a horrible thing, but I have always felt that, um, metaphorically, that's the way you have to fight war.
00:10:59.420
If you're going to fight war, there is no such thing as a fair fight.
00:11:04.320
You want to make it as unfair and lopsided as possible.
00:11:10.600
And the fastest way to get through war is to have every person on the planet go, take the air out of their lungs.
00:11:23.880
But you don't keep the peace by intentionally killing children in school houses.
00:11:32.100
Uh, so that's pretty much what happened on Saturday.
00:11:36.020
You want to give me some color and play by play here on this, uh, Jason?
00:11:41.820
So as everyone knows, we've been watching this military buildup for quite a while now.
00:11:46.340
And just to get some context on some of that military buildup, producer Matt, throw this up super quick, um, for everyone to see.
00:11:51.960
This is a breakdown that was done of all the military hardware that was put in theater.
00:12:00.240
By the way, if you, if you're just listening, we'll try to describe it on radio, but today is the day you should have torch, uh, glenbeck.com slash torch.
00:12:07.760
Cause we're going to be showing you a lot of stuff that is a little overwhelming when you see it.
00:12:13.620
Um, and, and to put that even to even more context, producer Matt, throw this map up there.
00:12:17.800
This shows the firepower of that entire arsenal when in terms of missiles, uh, combat aircraft, it is significant more than we've seen in a very, very long time.
00:12:30.920
And you haven't to say that Jason is one thing.
00:12:34.220
Do you have, because I don't think we saw this in Iraq.
00:12:38.140
Did we, we, we, we did, uh, for the, for the invasion that it's, it's very similar to, at least in terms of air power and naval power.
00:12:46.780
Um, what we're missing here is the ground combat element.
00:12:50.340
If there is some kind of special forces, uh, element that are on the ground, we won't get confirmation of that.
00:12:56.000
But, but that would not, may I say when anybody says we won't have anybody on the ground, just hear this.
00:13:03.220
I find that, um, highly unlikely because if there is nuclear material, we are going to have to get it out.
00:13:14.960
If there is nuclear material, if there are, um, any kind of missile material that is left,
00:13:22.140
we will have to send ground troops in just to secure it and to get it out of there.
00:13:28.660
Not necessarily to fight, but to secure the nuclear, uh, facilities.
00:13:33.520
And hopefully if there are any centrifuges left to secure all of those and either destroy them or get them out.
00:13:42.100
There's also the matter of just how air, uh, air to ground combat works usually.
00:13:47.260
And we saw this the last time when Israel and the United States struck the nuclear targets, uh, you know,
00:13:52.860
a few months ago, they had Israeli special forces on the ground, picking targets out.
00:13:57.880
I would assume there's something similar to that, but we also, Glenn, I don't know how much time you,
00:14:03.780
Uh, wait, there's also the idea of what happens to a lot of these radicals as they try to flee out of the area.
00:14:09.720
My guess is they're probably going to go to Iraq and that's a whole nother discussion of what happens in the fallout.
00:14:20.320
I mean, we may just, I mean, this is why anybody who was definitively saying this is the greatest thing ever,
00:14:30.380
or definitively saying this is the worst thing ever, they're fools.
0.60
00:14:42.920
What you have to ask is, do you trust the person who is in command of this?
00:14:51.800
I happen to believe the president has earned my trust that he is not a forever war guy.
00:14:57.400
He knows how to handle, uh, the military in a very effective way and use it quickly, deadly, and get the hell out of there,
00:15:08.300
which is the way I want our military to be used.
00:15:10.680
So I'll, I'll get into this later, but he has bought the credibility, at least from me.
00:15:15.680
You, maybe not you, but I think you should look at that.
00:15:23.660
Has he bought enough credibility to, at least for you to say, I'm not in the situation room.
00:15:30.560
I don't know all of the information, but I trust this guy has the best intention.
00:15:37.440
If you believe that, then you have to just let go of the outcome for a little while, at least, and say, let him do his job.
00:15:50.140
He, to me has proven he can do this job and it's a much bigger picture.
00:15:56.180
So relax, but also don't write a blank check of support because things could go bad.
00:16:07.540
Remember we went into Iraq and it was looking really good and then it got horrible and they never changed strategy.
00:16:17.960
So, you know, this could turn into a nightmare, but it also could turn into something good.
00:16:22.920
Look for the principles and then take it one day at a time.
00:16:29.800
There's no reason to write a check to support or to be against anything other than right now.
00:16:45.640
Your principles have to be locked in, but your support does not have to be, or your being against does not have to be.
00:16:54.640
It, that changes with the conditions on the ground, but your principles must never change.
00:16:59.800
And I'll outline those, uh, here in a little while.
00:17:05.760
We'll go back to Jason so he can show us some more of what happened.
00:17:09.420
At some point, your kitchen counter starts looking like a, you know, a supplement aisle.
00:17:13.580
You've got bottles of pills for joint wellness, bottles of pills for inflammation, bottles of pills for absolutely everything.
00:17:21.340
The general phrase, general wellness, you're taking a little of this.
00:17:25.780
You're taking a little that hoping that some combination will finally make a difference.
00:17:28.940
And half the time, you know, the stuff you're taking doesn't really even help.
00:17:32.420
And it may not even be very good as a product itself.
00:17:37.360
Relief factor was created to simplify all of that.
00:17:40.160
Instead of juggling a handful of different products, relief factor combines key ingredients designed to help address inflammation in very specific ways.
00:17:49.080
And nobody else has put all of these combinations together.
00:17:51.760
Quite like a relief factor has, uh, it's one plan, one routine, one clear focus over a million people have tried it.
00:18:01.720
Two thirds of the people who try it, go on to order more and you'll know whether it's going to work for you in about three weeks.
00:18:07.420
That's why they give you a three week quick start.
00:18:10.120
If you see no difference at all, then you don't stop taking it.
00:18:16.440
But if you were like me and I'm like, I think I see a difference.
00:18:19.840
And I did over, cause I, then I hit about a month and a half into it.
00:18:31.240
And the number 800 for relief or go to relieffactor.com.
00:18:50.840
So I want to, I want to throw this map up to show where the, the assault started and where we're likely to go to next.
00:18:59.500
As you can see, it was the strike on the Supreme Leader's compound.
00:19:02.580
Now that was an operational dictate depending on, you know, new information that happened at the time.
00:19:07.760
I don't feel like they wanted to strike at the moment, but they found an opportunity that they really could not pass up.
00:19:14.280
And that was a multitude of large officials meeting at the Supreme Leader's house.
00:19:20.200
But as you can see, some of these other squares that were popping up, these are IRGC locations, command and control type areas within Tehran.
00:19:29.080
Now, this area right here, this little oval is very, very familiar to people that military analysts have been watching this for a while.
00:19:37.940
This is one of the most heavily guarded areas in the world.
00:19:40.840
Uh, if it's not named Moscow or Beijing, um, these, and we can go into the actual military hardware and equipment later if you want.
00:19:49.700
But, um, all of these areas really should not, they were deemed unable to be hit by a lot of people in the world.
00:19:58.800
And for good reason, cause they were heavily fortified, but the attack started there.
00:20:02.540
But I want to show you this map and this is from the New York times.
00:20:05.960
Uh, this was where it, the entire operation expanded to targets all over Iran.
00:20:12.400
And I want to show you, these are, uh, basically twice, twice the size of Texas.
00:20:19.280
I mean, it's a massive landmass, massive landmass.
00:20:23.060
And that's a lot of areas where, that have hidden missile, uh, bunkers, places that they, that the regime can use to counterattack, hit places like Israel, hit places like the Straits of Hormuz, our Navy.
00:20:34.660
Uh, you know, and on that point, I want to give this context because you will not hear this from the mainstream media.
00:20:39.540
I want to show you, producer Matt, throw this back up really quick.
00:20:42.420
This is the Southern area where that school, um, was reportedly hit.
00:20:46.920
And I don't know the situation of everything surrounded there with, whether it was a mistake, whether it's some of this is propaganda.
00:20:52.580
I don't know, but look at the location of where that's at.
00:20:58.660
If you want to know why that area is being targeted in multiple different spots, that's right at the Strait of Hormuz.
00:21:07.900
That's where we, the military, uh, our military is sinking their Navy right now.
0.59
00:21:13.620
They, yesterday, Trump said they sunk nine ships.
00:21:16.200
They have dozens of ships, um, and you really have to sink them all.
00:21:20.060
But that is exactly at the point where that is on the edge and the coast there.
00:21:29.100
Uh, and I know we are going after their ships in that area.
00:21:32.220
And we are also looking for the, the, the smaller boats that are laying mines.
00:21:36.720
So there's a lot of activity, most likely happening right there on both sides.
00:21:44.800
And where the operation is right now is the United States and Israel are attempting to grain, gain air superiority over the entire battle space.
00:21:52.560
They're also trying to attempt to knock out their ability to respond to other countries within the Middle East, to Israel, or to our, our bases.
00:22:06.240
I do not think you will see any ground element.
00:22:09.820
And let's, when I say ground element, I mean, protesters out in the streets that are starting to take over and rebel against the Iranian regime.
00:22:16.520
Although we did see some of that this weekend, they preemptively came out and they were cheering for the death of the Supreme leader, but I do not think you'll see them come out until that initial phase happens.
00:22:27.420
So I'm saying at least, maybe as soon as next week, maybe two weeks from now, that's when the air superiority portion will be complete.
00:22:37.880
And, uh, that's when I will tell you, that's, that's where the president said over the weekend, stay inside your houses.
00:22:50.680
Um, he hasn't really, he has said, this is going to be up to you.
00:22:53.960
And thank God, because we're not going to nation build.
00:22:58.400
If we start nation building, um, we, we don't nation build that's for them to do.
00:23:03.380
You can give people the opportunity to open the door of freedom, but you can't force them to walk through it.
00:23:09.880
It's up to them to do it and that will be coming, I think in the next few days.
00:23:15.160
Also, I want to talk to Jason about what, what does this mean with Russia and China far as their defense systems failed again?
00:23:26.920
If you're like most people, your phone buzzes all day long, emails, texts, news alerts, group chats.
00:23:32.060
And after a while you stop reacting to half of them, but that next notification from your home security camera, ignoring it could be a very expensive mistake.
00:23:40.120
Imagine getting alert while you're in a meeting or in, you know, in a movie or on a flight at 30,000 feet, you can see the footage, but you can't do anything about it.
00:23:48.240
And by the time you land or you walk out of that presentation, the damage is already done.

00:24:59.120
Jason, you have any more charts to show us here?
00:25:01.760
So I've got what it took in the Venezuela compound.
0.73
00:25:07.640
And it's really interesting when you think about what the kind of hardware that was used to harden Venezuela and Maduro versus later an upgraded version of that for Iran.
00:25:21.940
I think this goes to my point on a bigger vision.
00:25:36.940
And when you understand his bigger vision of building a more peaceful, robust West and reducing the power of Crink,
0.99
00:25:49.600
this strike over the weekend really makes an impact.
00:25:55.340
And this is just one of the impacts shown what happened in North Korea, then how they upgraded everything in Iran and how well that worked.
00:26:03.480
I think you meant Venezuela, not North Korea, but in Venezuela.
00:26:09.040
So this is – so in Venezuela, they had – so we were just talking about this, the insiders and I were about – this is one of those areas that was considered –
00:26:15.880
producer Matt, throw that back up really quick – this is one of those areas that was supposed to be so hardened that it was basically untouchable.
00:26:21.900
Now, they did this, the Venezuelans, they hardened it.
0.90
00:26:29.880
Now, they did this or the Venezuelans tried to repel something like this with Chinese, a serviced Arab missile system called the HQ-9 and the Russian S-300 system.
00:26:42.120
Now, they're specifically designed to thwart stealth technology.
00:26:47.120
That's the entire reason that you get them is because of that.
00:26:52.020
So the Iranians, what they decided to do was – and I'll throw this back up again – was to harden this unhittable area with upgraded versions of what was in Venezuela.
1.00
00:27:10.300
These were supposedly designed to go after stealth aircraft and to make their area the hardened of hard areas to where you cannot do anything about.
00:27:19.760
Well, now we have seen both models of that, and this stuff is – it's being sold and used all over the world as completely ineffective, completely ineffective.
00:27:31.200
So now everybody all across the world is wondering what an actual guarantee of safety from nations like China and Russia – what the heck does that even mean this morning?
00:27:43.000
I think that's why you are seeing the typical fence-sitters, the people who are friends but not friends.
00:27:53.660
And they kind of play – India is one of them.
00:27:57.640
They play us off of Russia, et cetera, et cetera.
00:27:59.640
I think just militarily speaking – and there's a lot of other reasons for it – but just militarily speaking, we have, through Donald Trump and his use of the military and Pete Hegseth and the way he has put this together with our Joint Chiefs of Staff,
00:28:14.120
they have demonstrated the U.S. military has prowess over the rest of the world unlike anything I think we have had, well, since World War II.
00:28:27.460
And I think we might have been – we are more ahead than we were in World War II from the rest of the world.
00:28:34.040
The only thing that put us way ahead was a nuclear weapon.
00:28:38.260
We had to use that twice, and that was just so deadly.
00:28:40.760
That's not what's putting us ahead, not some big deadly weapon, although we may have one of those.
00:28:46.620
It's the way we're skirting around everyone else's technology that is making us a mofo, and the world is figuring that out.
00:28:59.080
And that's got to be freaking the people in Russia and China out just for the sales.
00:29:07.820
Imagine being a rep that is going to these big defense seminars and these big conventions where people are selling national defense.
00:29:17.920
And imagine the U.S. booth and then the China and Russia booth that is selling all the stuff we've just defeated in two different places.
00:29:29.240
I don't think we need anything except just a little screen behind us showing what has happened in Venezuela and Iran.
00:29:38.760
Can you imagine trying to sell that stuff against us?
00:29:42.840
I mean, there's no guarantee of any of that, any of that.
00:29:51.360
I want to take you through this list of things that I went through this weekend.
00:30:06.740
What do we have to look out for if things go well?
00:30:12.060
And what do we have to look out for if things go horribly?
00:30:17.900
And, you know, the things that even if it goes well, we saw what's going to happen.
00:30:22.300
We are going to have things like we had in Austin yesterday, a shooter who is just was just a crazy man.
00:30:28.180
But, you know, he gave his life to Allah and enjoy those virgins, buddy.
00:30:35.980
But he gave his life for Allah and killed three people yesterday in Austin, Texas.
00:30:41.940
Those people are here and we have to have a conversation with that.
00:30:46.280
We also need to see, you know, what's happening with our own Congress.
00:30:52.940
You know, Congress has shut off the funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
00:31:07.740
There will be holes in the system because we're not paying the people.
00:31:11.360
And if they don't show up, they don't show up because they're having to work for free.
00:31:15.220
And I don't know if you've noticed this, but those aren't the rich people in our in our society.
00:31:19.400
The people who are working there are clearly being paid a livable wage.
00:31:24.740
And for them to work without income is asking an awful lot.
00:31:34.300
The Democrats should the first thing they should do when they return to town.
00:31:38.400
I think on Wednesday, they're not even working today when they when they return to town.
00:31:43.960
The first thing they should do is fund the Department of Homeland Security because agree or disagree with the war.
00:31:53.200
And we need all hands on deck right now, by the way, it also defunds the Coast Guard.
00:31:59.120
So don't worry, but nothing comes nothing comes in on our beaches, nothing at all.
00:32:06.180
But let me take you through one thing of this long list of mine, and that is what does a win look like?
00:32:14.680
You don't take any action unless you say, OK, well, what does it look like?
00:32:20.700
Before we even start planning it, before I ask any other questions, what does it look like in the end if we if we win?
00:32:28.860
I don't have a grandiose version of of what it looks like if we win.
00:32:34.860
I mean, I guess I guess I guess I guess I do in some ways.
00:32:41.720
OK, that would be nice if it returned to, you know, the Iran of 1975 and it was stable and Western.
0.77
00:32:49.760
And the intellectuals were there and it became a powerhouse.
00:33:02.680
And I've got I've got three different versions of what a win looks like.
00:33:20.560
Anyway, here's the greatest that it would be stable.
00:33:23.940
It would free and it would be Western and they would be our allies and they would they'd start to rebuild themselves.
00:33:32.420
Uh, and they unleash this pent up intellectual power and they become the Persian people and the Iranian people that they've always been, uh, you know, without the oppression.
00:33:44.000
That would be great, but I will take a stable and more free non-hostile, but what each of these must include.
00:34:01.200
We take all of the, um, uh, uh, uh, cascading, what do you call those things where there's enriching uranium.
00:34:12.360
Um, we take and we get rid of those and we destroy them.
00:34:16.300
So they don't have, they cannot enrich in uranium.
00:34:19.320
We take away all of their ability to produce missiles and enrich uranium and make a bomb.
00:34:25.620
That is, if we can't get that in the end, then we've completely lost, uh, no nukes.
00:34:32.780
This isn't still in my, the best version, stable, free, non-hostile, no nuke capability, no oil to China, no drones to Russia.
00:34:45.440
And no terror proxies that's, I would walk away going, wow, what a success it's stable.
00:34:53.920
It's free or free ish, maybe not America, but in their own interpretation of that, it's standing on its own two feet, no oil to China, no drones to Russia, no nukes and no terror proxies.
00:35:06.620
That's an absolute slam dunk, but I would take stable and more free.
00:35:13.940
But still, uh, I mean, uh, an Islamic state, I guess if we have to, but no nuclear program and reduced terror proxies.
00:35:26.140
But all of this also has to happen with something else.
00:35:35.300
I think this is why, you know, when I was looking into, is this a just war and looking at the just war theory, you, you have to have a plan of success and peace.
00:35:47.160
And part, so that's what has to happen in, uh, Iran, but you also have to have a more united Middle East.
00:35:59.760
Donald Trump, you remember when he, you know, put his thing out with all the hotels and the golf courses and you're like, you're going to make a Trump resort out of Gaza.
00:36:09.720
What that was, was to show the Middle East, look, you can either keep bombing.
0.96
00:36:16.600
You can either keep pouring money and lives down the drain, or we can show you how to make this very, very prosperous.
00:36:24.720
And we don't even really have to show you, you've already done it.
00:36:27.720
You've done it in, you know, the UAE, you've done it in, uh, Dubai, uh, you've done it in Saudi Arabia.
00:36:36.260
And what happens when your country is prosperous?
00:36:42.020
If you make this a stable region, Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, all of you, all of you can actually be wealthy and prosperous.
00:36:53.600
And your people can get out of this cycle of death, adding Iran to that and actually having this coalition actually hold together is a huge, huge win.
0.99
00:37:08.500
You also will still have, you'll still have, uh, Qatar.
0.73
00:37:17.340
And soon within, I predict within six to eight months, you're going to see some stuff come out about Qatar.
00:37:25.880
Anybody who is trying to tell you now, Qatar is good.
00:37:30.340
Um, because it, it's going to be so clear to every American, how bad Qatar actually is to us here in America.
0.86
00:37:39.040
Um, but you'll have Qatar, Iraq, that's going to be real trouble, but hopefully a win looks to me that you have now made this more united Middle East to where they're policing their own area.
00:38:01.940
It doesn't have to be perfect, but it can't involve nukes.
00:38:09.720
And we also have to unite the Middle East enough to where they're taking care of and policing their own area.
0.94
00:38:17.440
So we don't have to, because I don't want to be there for more than a few weeks and I don't want any troops on the ground.
00:38:28.940
This would be America first, which goes to answer that second question.
0.85
00:38:38.420
And I want to play that out for you, uh, coming up in just a few minutes.
00:38:41.440
So standby first, let me tell you about rapid radios.
00:38:46.080
You can open your garage, you know, uh, with an app.
00:38:49.900
Uh, you really can't check your bank statement without an app and a password.
00:38:56.000
You can't turn on a light without a log on, you know, and a login and a passcode.
00:39:01.300
Um, by the time you've verified everything, good heavens, man, what time is it now?
00:39:10.840
You've forgotten why you picked up your phone in the first place.
00:39:13.500
By the time you do all that, there is a bill, a world that has been built now on constant connection
00:39:22.200
When you need communication quickly, rapid radios feels refreshingly primitive in the
00:39:32.380
You take them out of the box, you turn them on, and then you talk to somebody.
00:39:38.160
They provide nationwide coverage, clear push to talk communication, and a really simple way
00:39:43.280
Whether you're on a job site or on a road trip or spread out across the country in a world
00:39:47.880
where everything demands an update, sometimes the most advanced things you can own, you
00:40:00.820
It's communication redefined at rapid radios.com.

Torch members get exclusive access to audio series, an insider show, documentaries, and
00:40:32.360
Join your friends at glennbeck.com slash torch.
00:40:36.080
So some of the questions coming in from some of the insiders are, Glenn, what do you mean
00:40:39.680
by a more free-ish, you know, a more free nation?
00:40:44.960
I think you're seeing this indicated by President Trump.
00:40:55.540
He is saying no nukes and stop killing your people.
00:41:02.240
He's not saying you can't be an Islamic country.
00:41:05.220
And so when I say, for me, it would be perfect to have them, you know, adopt the American Bill
00:41:13.460
of Rights, and everybody has the Bill of Rights, but we're the only country with the Bill
00:41:20.320
So I don't expect them to adopt all of our freedoms.
00:41:23.760
However, I think it's unacceptable to at least to claim a win if you can still be killed
00:41:35.980
You're killed because you wouldn't wear the burqa.
1.00
00:41:50.320
I would love them to be free like they used to be free before this nightmare started.
00:41:55.520
But I don't know what the odds are, and I don't say that is the absolute.
00:42:03.540
No nukes, reduced terror ties, and more free than they are right now.
00:42:12.520
We have built a world where almost everything is on demand.
00:42:19.900
There's one thing that doesn't always show up on demand, and that is medical care, especially
00:42:24.440
when the system gets strained or when you're farther away from help than you expected to be.
00:42:30.760
We just assume that our pharmacy is always going to be open.

the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
00:44:06.020
i am so confused because i i thought we were taking marching orders from israel and then i heard
00:44:15.900
today that uh saudi arabia was the one who finally convinced donald trump to go in and conduct this he
00:44:24.480
was the one who said please just go in i'm not going to support you publicly at front but go in
00:44:29.880
and do it and so i guess we're taking wow we're taking marching orders from saudi arabia or is
00:44:35.020
it israel or does the president have a mind of his own and sometimes things line up
00:44:42.920
uh we're going to tell you how this happened and some of the amazing things uh that are going on
00:44:48.440
and also some of the things we should be paying attention to and worried about because there are
00:44:53.780
you know this even no matter how well this goes you still have millions of people that are like
00:45:01.480
12ers that believe they have to wash the world in blood to be able to hasten the return of the
1.00
00:45:06.980
promised one and usher in the end times i mean they're scary scary religious zealots uh and there
00:45:14.200
are millions of them that believe this so it's this is not an easy thing and i don't want to try to
00:45:20.760
convince you one way or another i just want you to use critical thinking and principles and say
00:45:29.060
this is where we're at today is this right is this wrong uh and not marry into i'm not going to tell
00:45:36.380
you that this is the greatest thing ever and this is you know you know what this is going to work out
00:45:40.680
fine because i have no idea i hope it does and i trust the leaders but i'm not writing anybody a blank
00:45:48.160
check on this nor should you all right we're going to talk to a former israeli defense force spokesperson
00:45:53.640
uh on some of the things that happened this weekend what it all means and some of the technology that
00:46:00.660
i'm hearing we have or israel has that we used because again it was almost like venezuela all of
00:46:07.500
their defenses failed what is going on and how did we know exactly where the 40 leaders were going to
00:46:14.160
be when some of them came to the table blindfolded because the ayatollah was so freaked out about leaks
00:46:21.520
that he wanted everybody to show up blindfolded how did we know this we'll get some of those uh
00:46:27.980
insights possibly from uh retired lieutenant colonel jonathan uh conricus in just a second
00:46:34.460
stand by 60 seconds and we'll be with him let me tell you about pre-born you know we've lived with
00:46:40.560
the left's lies about abortion for so long in this country that you know if we're not careful we may
00:46:45.280
even start to absorb them we're told it's really simple we're told it's just a procedure we're told it's
00:46:50.760
not really life it's just a cluster of cells it's a technicality it's a private decision
00:46:55.540
you know science science has moved forward ultrasound technology shows us you know what only
00:47:03.780
what early generations could only imagine a beating heart movement form a brain a developing child with
00:47:11.600
distinct human features when a mom sees that image the abstraction falls away the slogans fade and it
00:47:19.020
becomes real pre-born partners with clinics all across the country to provide free ultrasounds to
00:47:23.940
women who may feel pressured you know confused or alone giving them a chance just to see for themselves
00:47:29.620
before making a life-altering decision they'll be screaming politics at them or you're a bad person
00:47:34.560
if they say no just love and support and truth 28 provides one ultrasound 140 will it will help

Jonathan Conricus welcome to the uh welcome to the program what is your first take uh on this weekend
00:48:07.560
and what you saw well thanks for having me on Glenn always a pleasure and i in i really enjoy the intro
00:48:14.740
music first time i hear it it is impressive uh and now to uh two more serious matters uh i just came out
00:48:22.460
of a bomb shelter a few hours ago. So it's a very, you know, real environment here. We are
00:48:27.980
at war again. My take is as follows. I am very happy we are doing this together, the US and
0.71
00:48:34.820
Israel. I think it is much better that we are attacking the Iranian regime together. That is
1.00
00:48:41.300
more than twice the firepower, the intel and the coordination. And I think that's a very positive
00:48:47.400
thing. And I think that's a stabilizing factor. That's one. Two, initial success, quite high
00:48:53.900
in terms of personnel. You touched on it in the intro, almost the entire command and most
00:49:02.660
of the defense establishment senior figureheads in Iran were wiped out, including the supreme
00:49:09.260
leader himself, which was quite an establishment and a really positive thing. Three, we are
00:49:16.800
on our third day of the war. And yes, we've been down in shelters many times and countless
00:49:22.680
alarms. We've had 11 civilian civilians killed. But when I compare that to June 25, the previous
00:49:33.180
round with Iran, I can see that the Iranians are firing less missiles and they're struggling
00:49:39.820
to deliver in. And we are surprised with the amount that they're actually getting away.
00:49:46.360
We anticipated more. And that could be because they're either calculating and trying to run
00:49:55.320
an economic number here and not to run out of missiles, or that they're simply not able
00:50:02.940
to because US and Israeli planes are taking out the missile launchers. Whatever the reason,
00:50:09.120
it's a relatively positive thing. Four, last thing, this is widening and the Iranian regime is escalating
0.85
00:50:17.780
and it is now regional. Iran has fired more than 500 ballistic, sorry, more than 150 ballistic
00:50:25.640
missiles at the United Arab Emirates, dozens at Saudi Arabia, including oil facilities at Qatar,
00:50:32.680
at Kuwait, at Bahrain, at Jordan, at Cyprus, an EU country. So Iran is lashing out, and they're doing
00:50:41.320
it sooner than what I thought they would, which I interpret as a sign of despair, and perhaps panic.
00:50:49.880
And when your enemy is panicking, that's usually an indication that good things are happening,
00:50:55.520
which tells me, really floor it and keep the pressure on. And that is how we will achieve the
00:51:06.400
How much did the Mossad infiltrate the regime? And there's claims, and I don't know if they're true,
00:51:12.880
but claims going around this weekend that Mossad agents were posing as dentists
00:51:17.260
and they were implanting miniature... Is there any truth to that?
00:51:25.180
You know, after the beeper operation, I read that tweet. Yeah, I read the tweet a few days and a half
00:51:33.020
ago and I chuckled at it. But I mean, after the beeper operation, nothing seems outlandish anymore
00:51:40.600
because of how high-tech and, you know, James Bondy the beeper operation was. And then people,
00:51:46.480
you know, can think that it's reasonable that the Mossad was able to infiltrate to such an extent.
00:51:53.020
I actually checked when I read it with a friend in the Mossad, and he chuckled well, and he said,
00:51:58.960
you know, that's a nice idea. We'll cultivate that for the future, for the next enemy.
00:52:03.180
Okay. But, uh, but I don't think that's the case. Um, yeah, I heard that the CIA was the one that gave
00:52:10.800
the coordinates, uh, to your airplanes because it was your airplanes that actually took out,
00:52:17.640
um, the Ayatollah. Um, the thing I walk away with is there, you know, the people who say I'm going
00:52:26.760
to go off grid. Cause I've always thought that, well, I'll just go off grid. There is no off grid
00:52:30.160
anymore. If we want to find you and kill you, we will, we will find you and kill you. That's not
00:52:35.260
a good thing, but that's true. No, it's a great thing. If you are a person, well, it's a great
00:52:41.220
thing. Yes. Yeah. As long as it doesn't fall into the wrong hands, it's exactly. But the issue here
00:52:48.360
is, you know, the, the, the compounded effects of the two intelligence agencies, CIA and Mossad,
00:52:55.100
coupled with visual intelligence from IDF and from various us, uh, uh, satellites and other visual
00:53:02.480
assets. And then the X factor is personnel on the ground, the human component, human intelligence
00:53:09.200
and agents. And I can say that, you know, the Mossad has spent a lot of years investing in building
00:53:16.200
infrastructure on the ground networks and, um, people that they have recruited, uh, who are providing
00:53:23.760
the, you know, the real X factor, the real golden nugget in the specific time that it's needed.
00:53:30.500
And I understand that this is what made it all possible here. It's a fusion of American Intel and
00:53:36.960
Israeli Intel, and then delivered this case specifically Israeli plane or Israeli pilots
00:53:42.960
flying American planes, American made planes, but the Israeli planes, uh, and delivering those weapons
00:53:49.560
at the time that they were supposed to be delivered and the location. And I think it's a very good
00:53:55.140
example of how Intel and targeting and counter-terrorism is supposed to be done.
00:54:01.840
So there's a couple of things that I've heard for the last 25 years, and I'm sick of hearing it.
00:54:07.040
Um, one, they had weapons of mass destruction, and that's why we had to go in right now because
00:54:12.220
they have weapons of mass destruction. When you show me the pictures, I'll believe the weapons of mass
00:54:15.900
destruction thing. Um, uh, you know, I, I do know that they would use them. I do know they were
00:54:21.580
enriching radium, but I have heard we're days away for 25 years. Uh, so, you know, uh, I'll believe
00:54:28.780
it when I see it. Um, the, um, the second thing that I've heard is we'll be welcomed as liberators.
00:54:35.720
Now people are saying we don't have any information at all about what the people on the ground want.
00:54:40.560
Well, I find it hard to believe that we can track the leadership and we know where everybody is,
00:54:44.680
but we have no clue as to what people want it. This can, we, we cannot, this can't turn into Iran
00:54:51.580
or Afghanistan. The people have to take it at some point and build their own nation. We're not nation
0.89
00:54:59.360
building any idea, the likelihood of the people standing up and being able to take this into a
00:55:06.700
peaceful direction. I think your skepticism of, um, government issued information is well in place
00:55:16.680
and deserved. Um, I looking at Iran and with the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan, I think it's,
0.98
00:55:25.280
we're, we're starting in a good location because the president has said, and so has the prime minister
00:55:30.380
that this isn't about, you know, uh, repeating mistakes of the past. And it's very clear that
00:55:39.040
the future of the, of Iran will be determined by the Iranian people. But also equally clear is that
00:55:48.280
we've had tens of millions of Iranians marching on the street in various cities of Iran calling for
00:55:55.860
the demise of the dictator. Death to the dictator was the most popular chant and, uh, trying to get
00:56:02.460
free from the, the tyranny of that dictatorship. Uh, unfortunately they were gunned down brutally.
00:56:08.120
As the president also mentioned, more than 32,000 were murdered by the regime, uh, yet they continue
00:56:14.600
to go out in numbers. And only a week and a half ago, we had, uh, dozens of protests around the country
00:56:21.520
in different universities, uh, again, facing mortal danger, but they were still out on the street. So
00:56:28.080
I think that there's authentic will to, uh, by, by Iranians, by tens of millions of Iranians.
00:56:36.740
Granted, there are people in Iran who are diehard regime supporters, who are religious fundamentalists,
00:56:42.580
who are people who want and believe that the regime is, uh, how they want their country to be
00:56:48.580
governed. I don't think anybody can tell us and give, you know, an empiric number of how many they
00:56:54.660
are versus how many freedom or revolutionary Iranians there are, but it looks as if the people
00:57:00.980
who want change are the overwhelming and vast majority, uh, but time will have to tell. Uh, but
00:57:07.040
at the end of the day, you know, there won't be American boots on the ground. Definitely won't be
00:57:11.440
Israeli boots on the ground. There might be, uh, Israeli agents behind, you know, Mossad, et cetera,
00:57:16.980
maybe CIA, but, uh, in terms of, you know, doing things that like happened in Iraq, I don't think
00:57:23.960
we're in that situation at all. And I'm happy that that isn't the scenario. Bottom line, the Iranian
1.00
00:57:29.700
people will have to move forward and they will have to chart the future. If you ask me, honestly,
00:57:36.120
is it going to be benign and peaceful? I doubt it because the Iranian regime has spent significant
1.00
00:57:43.660
efforts at, uh, cementing their control over the Iranian people and building very robust, uh,
0.58
00:57:50.860
oppression, oppressive infrastructure. By the way, some of that infrastructure is now being unraveled by
00:57:56.680
Israeli airplanes. That is there were bombing, uh, those headquarters, the Basij, IRGC, uh, internal
00:58:04.180
police, and they're called the so-called judiciary, uh, and they're being, uh, targeted as we speak.
00:58:09.940
Um, and, and the objective here is to pave the way, but change will only come. The regime will
00:58:15.420
only fall if the Iranian people rises up and seizes the opportunity very much like what the
1.00
00:58:20.260
president said. Are you seeing difference? You know, the one thing that is different now between
00:58:25.400
Iraq and Afghanistan is we went in with this utopian view. Um, and I don't think there was a real plan
00:58:32.200
for how peace was really going to work and without us. Um, and, um, and this time it seems as though
00:58:41.100
Trump started even in his last, uh, term with the, um, you know, the Abrahamic cords, um, and, and the,
00:58:51.340
you know, council of peace and everything else that he's been doing. It seems as though he's tried to
00:58:56.480
knit together a coalition of nations that are not necessarily run by us, but, but by them, he's
00:59:03.600
looks like he's tried to convince people, look, you can be prosperous and safe and it'll change your
00:59:08.840
world for the better. And they seem to be, you know, making friends with Israel and wanting to
00:59:15.560
coexist, et cetera, et cetera. It, it, uh, is it different in the middle East with Saudi Arabia and
00:59:22.920
Egypt and, uh, and UAE and everybody else? Is this different than it has been in the past?
00:59:30.160
I would say so. And I think that the region, um, the various Arab and Muslim leaders and people
00:59:37.360
are responding to president's Trump leadership and his style of leadership. I think it resonates
00:59:44.680
and it's clear it's relatable, understandable for people in the area and they get what he's saying
00:59:50.480
and they get what he's doing. Uh, it's, it's not, you know, uh, fancy words and lofty statements and
00:59:58.100
a lot of stuff, you know, about democracy and values, et cetera. It's very clear. Uh, the man says
01:00:03.800
exactly what he means. And, uh, then he usually follows up with action that is, uh, uh, that is
01:00:09.560
correspondent with what he said he would do. And that's, that's relatable people here in the middle
01:00:14.280
East, uh, understand, I think. And, uh, you could see that, uh, countries leaders and, and, and
01:00:20.720
organizations, they, they align with that. So I, I, it's still early days, you know, when you look at
01:00:26.160
the big picture, uh, in the, in the region under now president Trump, where would the board of peace
01:00:31.740
go and what will the situation in Gaza be? But I think that the move here is, it looks to be,
01:00:38.040
you know, like legacy defining for, for the president. And I think that it's a very bold move,
01:00:43.860
very bold move by the president to put his, uh, legacy on the line and say, I'm going to go for
01:00:50.100
it. I'm going to go for making sure once and for all that Iran won't have nuclear weapons,
0.78
01:00:56.280
that they're not going to be a regional menace. They're not going to be a future threat to America.
01:01:01.200
Currently, they're a threat to American interest in the region in the future. They could become a
01:01:05.620
threat to domestic, uh, the, to, to, to continental us. Uh, and, um, he's, uh, stopping that on his
01:01:13.480
watch. So it's a, it's a very brave move. Thank you very much, Jonathan. I appreciate it. God
01:01:19.060
bless you. Thank you. Stay safe. You too. Thank you. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan, uh,
01:01:23.240
Conricus. We have Jack Carr coming up in just a second. He's going to take a look from, uh,
01:01:27.760
special operations and a guy who writes this kind of stuff as, as fiction. Uh, I always found fiction
01:01:35.160
writers to be the best people to talk about on how things are going to end because truth is stranger
01:01:40.620
than fiction because fiction has got to make sense. Okay. It's got to make sense. Sometimes
01:01:45.860
truth doesn't make sense. Um, and so they are really based on all of their research on what
01:01:51.420
makes sense, what's the most likely to happen. And we're going to talk to him in just a few
01:01:55.980
minutes. First, let me tell you about leaf filter. You've seen knockoff products that look convincing,
01:02:01.360
same look, same claims, lower price. And then a few months later you realize, oh, that's why it's
01:02:06.040
cheaper. Yeah. Cause it wasn't built to last. Gutter guards are no different. There are plenty
01:02:12.700
of companies that say their product works just like leaf leaf filter. It doesn't, you know,
01:02:17.540
some hood style guards can keep up, you know, in heavy rains, uh, so water can pour right over the
01:02:23.060
edge and straight down towards your foundation or landscaping in lighter rain, the leaves and the
01:02:27.700
debris can still find their way in. Leaf filter is engineered completely differently. It is topped with
01:02:32.280
a surgical grade stainless steel micro mesh that channels water into your gutters while filtering
01:02:37.980
out all the debris. Clog gutters aren't just annoying. They can cause serious water damage.

So, uh, we're going to talk to Jack here in just a second. Um, Ricky, any news come out of that
01:03:37.500
conversation here? And Jason, I would ask you the same thing. You learn anything from that last
01:03:42.580
conversation with Conricus? I thought he was a little too coy on the dentist question.
01:03:51.660
I thought he was, I thought he was saying clearly, no, no, but you know, why not? Why not let people
01:03:58.540
believe Jason? What'd you get from that? Yeah, I, I don't think, I actually absolutely think that
01:04:04.380
Colonel Conricus is still tapped in to a lot of different areas. I don't think they're going to
01:04:09.120
give away too much of what, you know, they did or didn't do in that, but I'm sure it's a lot and
01:04:13.940
it's still happening. Yeah. Yeah. It, it, it, uh, it has to be because there's a lot of other bad
01:04:20.980
guys that are going to have to go down. Operation Epic Fury. It is day three. Uh, we're going to
01:04:27.080
continue our conversation with Jack Carr here in just a few minutes. And then I want to take you
01:04:32.900
through just war. Is this America first crank? What to worry about? All of that coming up before
01:04:40.620
the show is over today is a big, big show. Make sure you don't miss a second of it by going to

01:04:52.140
uh, as operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world is watching and wondering what comes next.
01:04:57.860
You know, people of faith doing what they always do in those moments. They're praying for freedom.
01:05:03.580
They're praying for safety. They're praying for innocence to be protected in the Holy land.
01:05:12.300
Red alert sirens give you 15 seconds to reach a bomb shelter, 15 seconds to grab your child,
01:05:18.440
15 seconds to move in moments like this. Freedom and faith stopped being abstract ideas and become
01:05:24.040
the foundation that people stand on the international fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground
01:05:28.720
right now, preparing large-scale distribution of life-saving food, first aid, emergency essentials
01:05:33.840
for security personnel, while also helping ensure that hospitals, emergency rooms, and shelters are
01:05:39.160
stocked with critical medical supplies. This aid is focused on the sick, the elderly, the children,
01:05:44.980
and families in great need. In a time of crisis, prayer matters, but so does action.
01:05:48.780
The fellowship is asking for a generous gift today to help make this work possible. Now's

01:06:18.780
Jack Carr is with us. Uh, Jack is a military operator himself, uh, best-selling author of the
01:06:33.400
Terminal List series. You can also, he's also the executive producer of that series on TV. If you've
01:06:39.900
never watched it, you've never read the Terminal List, you need to. Um, but he is also, uh, the author
01:06:44.400
of a book, a nonfiction book called, uh, targeted Beirut. And he came out with this and this is, uh,
01:06:51.880
really kind of the genesis of how all of the, how we got here. And I wanted to talk to Jack about,
01:06:58.820
you know, the operation, uh, that happened this weekend and is still going on. Donald Trump just said
01:07:04.460
the big wave is yet to come in war with Iran. Um, what he thinks about what's happening, uh, you know,
01:07:13.740
uh, what the things that happened maybe this weekend that the average person might've, um, missed
01:07:19.540
and also ask him as a fiction writer, the most likely way this ends. But first let me talk to him
01:07:25.640
about, you know, the setup. Why is this happening? You know, if you look at targeted Beirut, Jack,
01:07:30.740
um, explain this situation in that context. Well, Beirut really was in our response to what
01:07:38.700
happened in Beirut in 1983 was so pivotal to everything that was going to happen afterward.
01:07:43.420
Meaning we had an attack on our embassy in April of 1983, killed 63 people, 17 Americans. And then
01:07:50.720
that led to the October, uh, bombing of the barracks and headquarters building of our Marines there who
01:07:56.120
were there as peacekeepers that killed 241 servicemen. Now it taught Iran a couple of things
0.57
01:08:01.700
in particular. It taught them one, that terrorism works and two, that it works even better through
01:08:06.980
proxies because in the aftermath of that event, the Reagan administration did a lot of tough talk,
01:08:12.220
but then in early 1984, they left the region. So that taught not just Iran, but, and not just the
01:08:19.220
region really, but the world, uh, that terrorism works. So how do we responded differently back then?
01:08:24.280
Um, the, the history moving forward from 1983 would have been vastly different because there
01:08:30.980
is a direct line between that and September 11th, 2001, but I was not surprised to wake up
01:08:36.820
on Saturday morning to a host of text messages, uh, letting me know that, uh, military operations
01:08:42.500
had started against Iran. And, uh, my first thought was really one of, of sadness. Well, it wasn't,
01:08:48.820
it wasn't unexpected of course, because the, uh, the maximum pressure campaign against Iran was
01:08:55.160
really never going to work because the three things that were non-negotiable, uh, Iran acquiring
01:09:00.280
nuclear weapons, the ballistic missile program, and their support of terrorist organizations through
01:09:04.520
proxies, any, any acquiescence, uh, to any of those would make the regime look weak. And they've really
01:09:12.020
been in power since 1979 through coercion, fear, threat of violence and actual violence
01:09:18.360
on any protests. And we saw that most recently here in January. So, uh, it made me sad because
01:09:24.160
diplomacy had failed also covert action had failed. So any covert action we'd attempted over the last
01:09:29.400
year or through in previous administrations over the past decades that has failed also. And now we're
01:09:35.200
in a full scale, uh, military engagement with Iran. So, you know, I, I, I saw these people and I would
01:09:41.360
love it if, you know, if, if we could have all come to the negotiating table and work something out,
01:09:45.860
but I saw people say, you got to give negotiation a chance 49 years, Jack. Right. And, and it's the,
01:09:52.480
you know, the, the, the exact definition of insanity. Follow me. Jimmy Carter said, this can't stand.
01:09:59.440
They got to stop. Ronald Reagan said, they got to stop. This can't stand HW Bush. They can't,
01:10:04.240
it's got to stop. We've got to get to the negotiating table. Clinton said that W Bush said
01:10:09.120
that Obama said that Trump said that in the first term, Biden said that, I mean, at some point you're
01:10:15.140
like, this is insane. We've tried giving them billions of dollars. We've tried holding money
01:10:21.320
back. We've tried carrots and sticks and nothing works. It's just that this president is the first
01:10:27.820
one to say, I'm not kicking the can down to the next president. It's over. Exactly. So each of those,
01:10:33.520
each of those administrations from both parties have had the, the same red line. They've had the
01:10:38.960
same policy pillar of our foreign policy in regards to Iran, the same one, they just had different ways
01:10:44.720
of dealing with it. And none of them effective. Some of them actually helped Iran get either more
0.95
01:10:52.520
powerful or gave them more options when it came to, to building up these different weapons programs
0.62
01:10:58.520
to, to crushing any popular uprising or protests. So it is, it, I'm not surprised that we got to this
01:11:08.040
point. And we should have learned from Al Qaeda. When someone declares war on you, pay attention.
0.97
01:11:14.800
Al Qaeda did it in 1996, 1998, attacked the USS Cole, of course. And none of those things made us treat
01:11:22.860
that terrorist organization as anything other than a, uh, uh, essentially a criminal enterprise.
01:11:29.020
And only after September 11th, 2001, where our hand was essentially forced to treat it as a military
01:11:33.840
problem. When people declare war on you and tell you that they want to destroy you, uh, you probably
01:11:39.020
don't want that person to have a nuclear weapon or to have options, uh, that can, uh, can lead to your
01:11:43.800
demise. So, um, you know, you, you look at, uh, you look at everything that has been going on and,
01:11:52.700
you know, everybody's trying to make it about, they were close to a nuclear weapon. I've heard that
01:11:55.960
for 30 years. I'll believe it when I see that. Um, I think this is, I think, um, that this is much
01:12:04.980
bigger than that. This is about Trump redesigning the entire world, uh, and going after, uh, crank,
01:12:13.960
um, to take the eye, you know, there is no eye in team. Well, the access team is crank and he's
01:12:21.420
taking the eye out of that, which hurts, uh, oil, uh, for, uh, China hurts money through the oil for
0.86
01:12:29.520
Russia. Also, you know, they've been, Iran's been giving them all the drones, et cetera, et cetera.
01:12:34.980
I mean, it really starts to break crank apart. Um, and I think this is much, I think to look at
01:12:42.280
this just as Iran, I think is, you'll never understand why we did this. Do you believe
0.99
01:12:48.580
that's true or am I wrong? Oh, I think you're a hundred percent sure. And I've been, uh, up before
01:12:53.100
dawn on shows and, uh, the last couple of days just been going all day. So I haven't been able to,
01:12:57.340
uh, to look at or listen to or read your analysis. So I was really excited to hear your analysis of what's
01:13:02.960
been going on, but you're absolutely right. Um, with China buying so much oil from Iran, getting
01:13:09.060
around sanctions from the United States, uh, from other allied countries. And then there's this $400
01:13:14.940
billion investment that China has in Iran. And part of that is technological, meaning they are
01:13:20.800
sharing at, well, selling, uh, the, the apparatus by which they control their populace in China
01:13:26.380
to the Iranians. Um, and that's really been propping up this regime. So without, uh, without
0.99
01:13:33.780
that in play, and, uh, it really allows us now, well, we'll see how this plays out, but, uh, to
01:13:40.920
focus on the Pacific, on China, on Taiwan, on the semiconductors that are built in, in Taiwan, uh,
01:13:47.520
and then the Russian side as well. So you're exactly right. This is not just about Iran. I would be
01:13:53.460
surprised if, uh, if, uh, we read something in the future that, uh, where someone makes that,
01:13:57.900
that argument down the line, because right out of the gate here, I'm not seeing that this is
01:14:02.460
definitely a reshuffling of the world order, uh, and really putting Russia and China on, on, uh,
0.78
01:14:09.920
uh, we'll bring, we'll bring them into this, into this fold, realigning some of these alliances
01:14:15.400
and allowing us to focus on Russia, China, and Iran, not just the Middle East as we have for the
01:14:21.340
previous 25 plus years. Jack, we've talked to each other for years and I, I've always loved talking
01:14:26.440
to fiction writers because you can be honest, you're not playing politics. You have to come up
01:14:31.060
with a scenario that in the end may be more believable than actual reality because fiction
01:14:37.660
has got to make sense. Um, and so you look at things, um, and you're like, what makes the most
01:14:43.160
sense? What is most likely to happen if this, this, and this happened, have you had time to noodle
01:14:50.000
this on what is the most likely outcome of all of this? I have, and, uh, it's really becomes down
01:14:57.120
to cope is not a course of action. Hope is not a good strategy. And what we're seeing right now,
01:15:02.180
uh, and I'm going to be very curious as to how this plays out in the weeks, months, and even,
01:15:06.220
even years ahead is that if this is a decapitation, a regime decapitation, if this is a, uh, regime
01:15:12.800
alteration or the hope of a regime alteration that, uh, brings Iran into the U S camp and away from the
0.83
01:15:18.520
China and Russia camp. Um, if we had, or the, uh, Israelis had, or some other entity had a primary,
01:15:26.540
a secondary, a tertiary person that we've been back channeling with who has the support of the
01:15:32.560
military, who can purge that military and intelligence apparatus of those loyal to the regime
01:15:37.700
and bring then Iran into the U S camp. Um, I would think we've done that. And I would think that
1.00
01:15:44.660
we've learned from the past, uh, 20 years in Afghanistan and all our years in Iraq, because
01:15:49.680
we have people in the administration who fought at the tactical level in those countries. Uh, but
01:15:55.380
once again, I don't know. And like you, I've, uh, I am, we've, we've heard so much about regime change
01:16:00.840
and weapons of mass destruction and all of these things. So I'll be very curious to know what lessons
01:16:06.040
they took from Iraq and Afghanistan and applied to this present problem set. So, uh, is there someone
01:16:12.080
waiting in the wings that is going to bring Iran into the U S camp or not, or are they just hoping
01:16:18.300
that someone's going to step up? I'm very curious as to, uh, as to that, you know, we have defunded,
01:16:25.460
the Democrats have defunded DHS. That means TSA TSA, I think ran out of money this weekend.
01:16:31.960
Um, that means the coast guard. Uh, and, uh, you know, I can't imagine if I were in Congress,
01:16:38.200
I don't care if I agreed with this war or disagreed with this war, I would be worried
01:16:41.380
that we were going to be hit in internally because we have so many people inside, you know,
01:16:46.280
we already saw the crazy guy, you know, wearing the, you know, owned by Allah t-shirt and the
0.92
01:16:52.820
Iranian flag underneath, uh, that shirt. Um, we saw shooters because of this action up in Canada
0.82
01:17:00.800
over the weekend. Uh, how likely is it? What should we be preparing for here in the mainland?
01:17:07.340
Because honestly, Jack, I have to tell you, I could come up with a thousand scenarios that about
01:17:12.780
25 people could do that would put us on our knees within a week. And I'm shocked that nobody has done
01:17:19.120
them. Um, I know how, how, I know how, why hasn't that happened and how, how likely is it to now
01:17:27.620
happen because of stuff like this? Well, it's, it is, uh, it certainly takes the, the attention of
01:17:33.520
people out there, um, that are just looking for a reason to lash out. So there's, there's different
01:17:38.380
categories here, but, uh, the sleeper cells are the ones that we typically talk about. Um, and, uh,
01:17:43.840
that's certainly possible, especially with the wide open borders of the, the previous years. So we
01:17:49.220
have that to think about something that's really thought through, um, that hits multiple targets,
01:17:54.020
um, uh, at any given time across the United States, or you have that lone wolf type person
01:18:01.120
that's radicalized online. Like, uh, maybe like we saw with, with a Charlie Kirk, just someone who
01:18:05.360
wants to lash out and, and it's been made acceptable for them to do so because of the, uh, the insane
01:18:11.420
rhetoric that's floating around out there on these platforms that really democratized, uh, free speech,
01:18:16.800
meaning you don't have to invest anything in what you say anymore. You can just say it,
01:18:21.880
or a bot can say it, or an algorithm can feed it to you. Um, so we're in a very dangerous time.
01:18:27.360
You have to invest nothing in order to, uh, destroy or degrade what was once an extremely
01:18:33.720
proud country, the United States of America. So it's, uh, I don't have a good answer on that front.
01:18:39.880
It just, uh, it makes me sad for the future, but these platforms are tools and any tool is a weapon.
01:18:45.820
So, uh, I would definitely say that, uh, we need to remain vigilant, but not just because of what's
01:18:50.660
happening in Iran. Uh, these things can happen at any given time for any reason. So, uh, people
01:18:56.240
really need to, to take, take, uh, responsibility for, uh, for their really their own protection
01:19:01.340
and that of their families. Somebody said on TV, you know, they, they had enough material
01:19:05.900
to make a dirty nuke and get it into the U S how difficult is that? Uh, not as difficult
01:19:12.060
as one would think, uh, because it's really just, uh, a normal explosive that one can, uh,
01:19:17.660
can make with, uh, material on the open market. And that's just placed near, uh, whether it's,
01:19:24.180
uh, uh, uh, nuclear debris, uh, waste, whatever there's, there's all sorts of ways to do it
01:19:32.320
at all sorts of different scales. So, um, at that end, but you probably kill more people
01:19:37.400
in a bunch of other different ways. That one just really uses the imagination of the public.
01:19:41.520
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jack, thank you. Appreciate it. God bless you. We'll talk again. You bet.
01:19:48.240
Take care. You bet. Bye-bye. All right. Let me talk to you about, uh, Z factor here with
01:19:52.200
everything that's going on in the world right now. Just, uh, you know, make perfect sense.
01:19:55.820
You might have trouble getting a good night's sleep. You may have a hard time getting sleep.
01:20:00.140
Headlines don't shut off just because you turn off the light. Your brain just keeps replaying
01:20:03.520
conversations and numbers and scenarios. And what ifs, you know, long after the day is supposed
01:20:09.880
to be over your body may be tired, but your mind is still on duty all the time. And when that happens
01:20:15.400
night after night, it starts to catch up with you. You wake up groggy, groggy, you're shorter with
01:20:19.620
people than you want to be. Uh, and you're a step behind before the day even starts. Z factor is a
01:20:25.220
sleep supplement from the makers of relief factor. And it was designed to help help you fall asleep
01:20:29.740
faster, stay asleep longer and wake up feeling rested, not drug. It's not about knocking yourself out.
01:20:35.480
It's about supporting healthy sleep. So your body can just do what it was supposed to do.
01:20:39.880

01:21:14.680
Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways. We lock the doors,
01:21:19.260
we install the cameras, but there's another way that your home can be targeted and it doesn't
01:21:23.440
involve anyone stepping foot in your property. Uh, it is actually called home title fraud and it's
01:21:28.380
exactly what it sounds like. Criminals forge documents. They file them with the County.
01:21:32.780
They transfer ownership of your home, uh, into their name. And then once all that happens,
01:21:37.680
they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under
01:21:41.980
you. The scary part is like, you don't really know much about this as it's going on. Regular
01:21:46.680
homeowners insurance doesn't typically protect you from this. And the mortgage company isn't looking
01:21:51.180
for it either. That's why you need home title lock. Uh, they monitor your home's title and
01:21:55.840
alert you to any changes that could signal fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact,
01:22:01.800
which is a big problem. Something suspicious shows up. You can immediately act and you can get it out.
01:22:08.040
You can knock it out quickly. I've partnered with home title lock for a while now, because I want you
01:22:12.380

01:23:09.000
saying, so Glenn, are you for this or are you against this? I mean, I don't understand where you stand.
01:23:13.500
Um, I'm going to explain my stance. You know, Jack said, I, I've been, you know, I've been waiting
01:23:21.920
to hear your stance on this. I'll give it to you next hour. Um, I have been studying, praying and
01:23:29.500
thinking about what I need to do as my job. What is my job today to tell you? And I've thought over and
01:23:41.760
over this weekend, personally, Glenn Beck, are you for this? Here's how I begin to answer this
01:23:48.600
all weekend. I thought, dear God, I am glad I am not the president of the United States
01:23:55.020
because I know the threat that Iran poses to the world. And it's none of this nuclear crap. I mean,
0.87
01:24:03.220
yes, that's a threat. And I believe that could happen at some point, but I don't believe that,
01:24:08.080
you know, I've heard that they've been on the verge of that forever. So I just dismissed that,
01:24:12.540
but I know the threat that they are. I truly believe these 12ers are the army of the antichrist.
1.00
01:24:19.420
I really believe that, um, they are dangerous, dangerous people. Um, but I also know the huge
01:24:27.660
risk that taking them on directly to Europe, to us in the homeland, to the middle East, what that
01:24:34.640
could cause. And I thought I, I, I, I, if I were president, I would do what every other president
01:24:42.140
did. And that is kick the can down the road. At some point, somebody has to say, sorry,
01:24:48.300
I'm not going to do that anymore because we keep getting the same results. And that's the definition
01:24:52.620
of insanity. This guy has just had the guts to do it. Now, why is it arrogance? I don't think so.
01:25:02.120
And I'll, I'll explain how I made my decision. So maybe it can help you with critical thinking
01:25:32.120
The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
01:26:06.780
Well, hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Uh, I want to spend the hour
01:26:11.260
talking to you about how I look at this, uh, this operation, um, our attack on Iraq. What
01:26:23.820
does it mean? What, what, I'm sorry, Iran. What does it mean? Why are we doing it? What
01:26:32.580
do we expect a win to look like? And I can't answer any of those questions except from my
01:26:38.980
point of view. And so I want to take you through the things that I asked myself this weekend.
01:26:45.660
And I'll give you the conclusions I came up with. I'm not trying to convince you that this is right
01:26:49.960
or wrong. I just want to show you how I thought about it and maybe we'll help you think it through
01:26:55.420
as well. But I took in a couple of things. What does a win look like? What is the just war theory?
01:27:02.220
Um, is this a just war? Um, is this America first and also crink? And I will explain all of those
0.67
01:27:12.480
here in just a minute. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. Remember we sent a whole
01:27:17.380
buttload of money, uh, money, uh, to a country called Iran, hoping they were going to use it for
01:27:21.440
good. Yeah. Yeah. That didn't work out. Did it? Now I want you to ask yourself, are you making the
01:27:27.300
same mistake by sending your money to people who are using it for things you don't agree with your
01:27:32.040
mobile company? For example, a lot of the big wireless companies are not, you know, open about
01:27:36.580
all the causes they fund and political positions they take. Uh, you know, Verizon has funded, uh,
01:27:42.240
Planned Parenthood. A lot of money has gone to Planned Parenthood. You're on auto pay. You're with
01:27:46.720
Verizon. What are you doing? Your money has consequences. Your money is your time. So Patriot Mobile
01:27:54.320
offers reliable nationwide coverage on the same major networks with competitive pricing and U S
01:28:00.760
based customer service. So you're not giving up quality to make a change. Best of all, they use
01:28:05.220
your money that you give to them. Some of their profits they use for causes of freedom. So go to

01:28:25.360
you, uh, I come to you today. Um, and I want you to hear me clearly. I am not trying to sell you on
01:28:34.440
anything. Uh, I have been down this road so many times over the last 30 years, and I have seen things
01:28:41.920
that I absolutely believed were happening that we're not. I think we have been betrayed by our
01:28:46.600
government over and over again. Um, and I believe too many people I shouldn't have. Um, I, I started
01:28:55.720
this weekend with why would I give my trust to Donald Trump? Donald Trump is not the Donald Trump of 2016.
01:29:03.280
Uh, Donald Trump did not do this in 2016, but Donald Trump ran and said, no more of these wars.
01:29:11.460
Okay. So I want to get into that here in a second, but when I say Donald Trump is not the Donald Trump
01:29:16.440
of 2016, Donald Trump came in and he just kind of, you know, he's got such a good gut on him. He was
01:29:23.120
like shooting from the gut and he's like, I want to do this and I'm going to do that. What Donald Trump
01:29:27.600
has done in the last year has been remarkably coordinated and consistent. Now you may not agree
01:29:35.360
with it and that's fine. You may not like it. Um, and that's fine, but you should understand it
01:29:41.740
before you make a judgment on it. And I have, it's my job to try to figure out what the hell
01:29:49.420
is happening and then tell you my opinion on it. I'm not going to give you, well, I guess I will give
01:29:55.760
you my opinion because I'm going to show you how I thought of this, but I don't want to give you my
01:29:59.420
opinion. So you follow my opinion. That's not my goal. My goal is to help you think this through
01:30:05.720
because we all, you cannot just glob onto somebody else's opinion. Okay. You're going to get lost.
01:30:11.920
If you do that, you're going to, if you do that and you do this about feelings or winning or my team
01:30:18.340
versus their team, you're going to get lost and you cannot afford to get lost. So let me start
01:30:23.700
with principle. Number one, can you hate war and still fight one?
01:30:32.160
Yes. And in fact, I believe that is the only moral way to fight a war. I despise war,
01:30:40.860
but this must be done. Okay. There is a difference between loving war and accepting that sometimes
01:30:48.940
you have to fight a war. And I'm not saying this is one of those times I'm just explaining.
01:30:53.720
Can you hate war and fight one? Yes. A surgeon does not have to love the knife or cutting people
01:31:00.760
up, but he does it because he has to. Any, a nation doesn't love war. If it does, it is already
01:31:08.180
become something dark and evil, but a nation that refuses to act when evil calcifies into permanence
01:31:16.000
is not peaceful. That's not, that makes you peaceful. That makes you negligent. So yes,
01:31:21.300
being pro peace and being willing to fight can coexist. In fact, I believe they must. And I saw
01:31:29.680
that everywhere. I thought you were pro peace. I thought you were against war. I am. I am. Can we be
01:31:36.060
adults and have an adult conversation? The deeper question is not, are you for war? The question is,
01:31:46.000
what kind of peace are you trying to secure? And there, there, there are, there are places where
01:31:53.320
you go, I'm going to accept that peace. And maybe this for you is one of those places,
01:31:58.980
but you can't jump to conclusions instead of just reacting. Like I saw everybody on TV this weekend
01:32:08.640
reacting. Can we think like an adult for a second? First, what is the objective? This kind of goes
01:32:16.440
into the just war theory. And I spent a lot of time on the just war theory. I want to know, is this
01:32:21.360
just, is this right? When do we have to step in and when do we not, why do we step in here and not in
01:32:28.840
Sudan? Okay. First is the objective conquest? No. Is it regime change? Not sure. Is it humiliation?
01:32:40.220
No. Is the objective, the removal of a destabilizing terror sponsored nuclear seeking
01:32:46.880
command structure that has choked its own people and threatened an entire region? Yes,
01:32:52.400
I believe that's it, but not only that. And that's really important. If the aim is limited and
01:33:01.500
strategic, disable the head of the system that fuels regional chaos, then it is categorically
01:33:09.360
different from marching divisions into a country to rebuild that country in our image.
01:33:14.640
Iraq was nation building. Okay. This appears at this point to be decapitation and deterrence.
0.90
01:33:24.100
You'll notice that he has not dictated that this will not be an Islamic state. Did you notice that?
01:33:32.980
These, this is not the same as Iraq. I'm not saying it's better or that you have to agree with it.
0.99
01:33:39.240
I'm just, please understand. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I'm just trying to help
01:33:43.940
you think it through. And I imagine there's going to be a lot of people that disagree with me and
01:33:48.100
that's okay. My job is to help you think it through, not agree with me. Second thing was peace attempted
01:33:55.600
first. This one matters enormously. You can't just rush into war. Uh, and in the past we have rushed
01:34:04.760
into military action without creating a regional structure capable of sustaining peace afterward.
01:34:10.260
Okay. And maybe we haven't exhausted the, uh, the road to peace. So this one is different. First of
01:34:20.480
all, beginning at Jimmy Carter, we have exhausted peace. I mean, 49 years of peace talks. Okay. Um,
01:34:28.860
and what's different, why I believe Donald Trump did not take this on the first time
01:34:34.500
is because he hadn't done the work. He had done the Abraham Accords, but he had not done the rest of
01:34:41.760
the work that is needed. The Abraham Accords fundamentally altered the United, the, um,
0.90
01:34:48.160
Middle East diplomacy. It brought key Arab States into open normalization with Israel. And for the first
01:34:55.400
time, major Sunni powers publicly aligned around coexistence rather than we got to wipe Israel off the face of
0.58
01:35:04.440
the map. So they kind of joined the Western world and went, we can kind of coexist here.
01:35:10.520
Also Hamas's military capacity severely degraded since October 7th attacks and the, also the war in
01:35:18.320
Gaza that shifted the strategic balance in the region. Also Sarah, uh, several Arab nations and
01:35:25.540
governments have become stakeholders in stability rather than chaos. They're no longer standing on the
01:35:31.480
sidelines. They are now saying we want peace. Okay. That's not a small shift. That is a tectonic
01:35:39.500
shift. Here's what we have done in the past. We have gone in and said, we're going to bring peace.
01:35:45.040
We're a freedoms on the March and we're going to bring freedom to these people. You cannot bring
01:35:49.440
freedom to these people. I thought we could in Afghanistan. I even kind of thought we could in Iraq.
01:35:54.620
That's absolutely idiot, idiocy to think you can bring people freedom. They must fight for it
01:36:01.360
themselves. They must want it themselves. So if we were going into nation build, I'm absolutely dead set
01:36:07.860
against it. If you remove a destabilizing regime after regional powers are economically and politically
01:36:16.440
invested in peace, the odds of a vacuum of chaos shrink dramatically. They don't go away. It still could
01:36:25.200
become horrible in the end. This doesn't guarantee success, but it changes the probability curve. Okay.
01:36:36.700
can you be anti-war and still use force effectively? Yes. Look at Donald Trump. This one,
01:36:45.680
this one is key. This is not, can you fight a war and be anti-war? This is, can you be against war
01:36:51.760
and fight it effectively? During Donald Trump is not pro-war. I don't care what any of the other
01:36:59.540
pundits say that are now turned on Donald Trump. And I am not here to shovel garbage for,
01:37:05.440
I'm not carrying any weight, any water for Donald Trump. He's a big boy. He can handle himself. Okay.
01:37:12.420
I'm here just to tell you how I think about things and what I have noticed. During his first term,
01:37:19.420
Donald Trump authorized this, uh, the, uh, strike that killed, uh, Soleimani. Okay. That was,
01:37:26.160
this is the guy that was the architect of the Iran regional proxy war. This is the guy who was
01:37:31.620
responsible for killing many U S soldiers. Okay. When he did it, people said, going to set the whole
01:37:38.280
Middle East on fire, but it didn't. Then ISIS, ISIS, we Barack Obama tried to fight ISIS for two terms.
01:37:49.960
Couldn't fight it. Couldn't fight it. Couldn't fight it. Hillary Clinton goes over. She actually
1.00
01:37:53.800
helps create it, make it more powerful. I mean, it was horrible. Remember ISIS was burning
01:37:59.400
Christians in cages and we did nothing about it. Donald Trump, they were killing our soldiers.
01:38:06.120
And Donald Trump said, we got to do this. And all the generals said, it's going to take us two years.
01:38:11.060
And he said, bull crap. It's going to take us two years. Is there anybody who has less than a two
01:38:15.260
year plan? That's what he found raising cane. General cane came in and said, I can get it done in four
01:38:21.000
weeks. And he explained the plan. And Donald Trump said, you're either crazy or you're my guy.
01:38:28.180
Uh, and he convinced him he wasn't crazy. And what happened? We wiped ISIS out. The control of ISIS
01:38:35.840
collapsed almost overnight. Okay. Far, far, far faster than even the most optimistic people
01:38:42.560
predicted possible because Donald Trump started to surround himself with the people who knew what
01:38:47.820
they were doing, weren't part of the system of bull crap and were fighting to win. Okay. And that's when
01:38:57.560
the message was sent by him. It was clear. Restraint does not mean weakness. There is a pattern here.
01:39:08.080
He disdains prolonged occupation paired with a willingness to use unrelenting, overwhelming,
01:39:18.980
precise force with a great strategy. That's not neocon nation building. Okay. That is completely
01:39:27.620
different than what we've did. This is coercive leverage.
01:39:31.340
Fourth question, the capability that we have, does that matter morally? Yes, it does. I don't
01:39:44.160
believe in a fair fight when it comes to war. I don't want a fair fight when it comes to war. I want
01:39:48.580
to be so overwhelmingly powerful that it takes the oxygen out of the lungs of our enemies all over the
01:39:56.440
world. And they go, Oh my gosh, don't ever mess with them. That's the way to fight war. Now, one of
0.83
01:40:03.200
the just war criteria is the probability of success. If you launch a war that you cannot win, you are not
01:40:12.760
moral. You are reckless. If this president had demonstrated that when he uses force, it's
01:40:22.000
targeted short duration, strategically defined, followed by negotiation. Then the moral calculus
01:40:30.880
shifts, a limited strike backed by regional diplomatic architecture is not the same species of action
01:40:38.180
as open-ended occupation boots on the ground. But in that, how we all get into all these foreign
0.99
01:40:45.100
wars, I asked myself, all these forever wars. Well, let me explain that in 60 seconds.
01:40:50.660
First, NMLS 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org. APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for
01:40:59.060
well-qualified borrowers. Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
01:41:04.380
When you're paying for your credit card every month, I want you to look at the interest rate.
01:41:10.360
I don't want you to get used to that. Okay. Look at that interest rate. What is it? 20, 25%,
01:41:15.800
maybe even higher. That's not normal. And that's not good. And you're never going to get out of it.
01:41:20.740
High interest debt has a way of quietly draining your future. Um, and you're making payments. You're
01:41:26.640
being responsible, but it's not doing anything but paying the interest. This is where American
01:41:31.040
financing can help you, uh, their salary, their employee owned company. So the mortgage consultants
01:41:36.520
focus on what makes sense for you, not on commissions. And they can look at your current
01:41:40.860
mortgage and see whether consolidating high interest debt into a lower rate, a home loan
01:41:45.380
could lower your monthly payments and save you money over time. You don't have to accept
01:41:49.700
financial pressure as a permanent condition. Don't sometimes just takes different structure
01:41:54.340
for your money. I want you to call right now. Um, 800-906-2440 it's American financing.net
01:42:01.540
800-906-2440, or go to American financing.net and see how they can help you. 10 seconds station ID.
01:42:27.520
Every American carries Iraq and Afghanistan in their bones. Now we always will. No one wants 20
1.00
01:42:33.580
more years of ambiguity drift and defeat and asking yourself, what the hell was that all about?
01:42:40.860
But here's the question that we have to model. Honestly is refusing to act even when action
01:42:49.400
might prevent something larger, actually be the safer path. If a regime funds proxies across
01:42:57.640
Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Iraq, if it arms militias, threatens choke points for maritime, uh, travel, uh,
01:43:05.860
pursues advanced weapons capability, you know, like ballistic missiles. And I am discounting all
01:43:13.440
the nuclear talks. I've heard that for 30 years. What, at what point does our inaction create the
01:43:20.240
very forever war we fear? I come at this differently. So, you know, so when you're trying to make your
01:43:26.580
decision, you understand mine, I believe we're already in world war three, I believe we are going
0.91
01:43:32.320
to be fighting the armies of Islam, uh, in the future. And, uh, the head of that snake, a very
1.00
01:43:41.480
dangerous, dangerous head of that snake are the 12ers that were running, uh, Iran. They are the most
1.00
01:43:49.220
dangerous of any Islamic cult. Okay. And sometimes refusing to act early guarantees a bigger conflict
0.96
01:43:57.180
later, but it's, this is not a, Oh, yep. I know this is it, but peace is not being passive. Peace
01:44:04.820
is stability enforced. Okay. Also, we have the people that were killed on the streets, but yeah,
01:44:13.820
but what, why not Sudan then this one I wrestled with this weekend, and this is so uncomfortable
01:44:19.480
because thousands have been slaughtered in Sudan just for being Christian. Okay. Christians
1.00
01:44:26.520
persecuted horrors everywhere. So why not, why not take that on? This is a really nasty thing,
01:44:37.200
but this has to be said. We have to understand this. A nation cannot survive and act purely on moral
01:44:46.280
horror. Okay. We can't, or we would be everywhere. Strategic impact, regional domino effects,
01:44:55.880
alliance commitments, nuclear proliferation risks, direct threats to our citizens. What makes this
01:45:05.780
different than the Sudan is Iran sits at the center of multiple global global pressure points
01:45:11.920
simultaneously entered energy shipping lanes, proxy networks, nuclear ambition, terrorism, uh, and
01:45:18.680
crink, which I'll get into in a little while, which is so important. If you miss crank, you don't
01:45:23.460
understand what he's doing at all. Sudan is tragic, horrific, and tragic. Iran is systemic.
0.99
01:45:33.100
That doesn't make the suffering unequal in value at all. It just makes the geopolitical stakes
01:45:41.260
unequal in scale. And that is not hypocrisy. It is States craft. Okay. So is this different?
01:45:52.140
It may be, and not because war is good, but because peace groundwork, I believe was laid first. If you
01:46:04.440
look at what he's trying to do in the middle East, regional players were brought into the ownership,
01:46:10.040
like I've never seen before. The strike appears to be limited and precise. There is no declared ambition
01:46:16.820
for occupation. We don't want to be there. The president has a record of preferring leverage
01:46:22.060
over quagmire. This could end badly. Zealots are patient. Retaliation likely. Sleeper networks are
01:46:30.120
real. But it is equally possible that removing the head of this regime while surrounding it with
01:46:36.940
economic normalization will produce a collapse inward rather than an explosion outward. And that
01:46:45.440
didn't exist in 2003. All right. More in just a minute. First, our sponsor is Real Estate Agents
01:46:51.740
I Trust. There is a big difference between activity and progress. You can list a house. You can host open
01:46:59.100
houses every Saturday. You can field offers. You can tour properties every weekend. That's activity.
01:47:04.820
Progress is walking away from the closing table, knowing that you made a smart decision,
01:47:10.060
that you did not overpay, that you didn't undersell, and that you didn't miss something
01:47:14.800
that was going to cost you later. Real estate is full of moving parts, pricey strategy, negotiation,
01:47:22.200
inspections, timing, market, all of these conditions. Even if one of those things is misjudged,
01:47:28.480
it can turn an exciting move into a very expensive lesson. That is why I built Real Estate Agents
01:47:34.320
I Trust. Honestly, I built it for me before I built it for you. I wanted to know, how do I find a good
01:47:40.280
real estate agent that can help me buy and sell my house because I've moved all over the country?
01:47:46.080
This is a list of vetted professionals who can make that happen for you. I don't charge you a dime for

01:48:27.880
I have prayed all weekend that I could serve you in a way that would be helpful. And I am trying
01:48:37.800
really hard to not tell you what to think because this is war and people are going to die and some
01:48:47.880
of our own people will die. And this could go horribly. This could go great. This could cause
01:48:53.080
terror strikes in our own country that would be horrific. And you cannot make your decision based
01:49:00.640
on somebody else's opinion. Okay. You have to do what I did this weekend and stop listening to
01:49:08.960
everybody else and start looking at your principles. I am somebody who does not like these endless wars.
01:49:16.200
I'm absolutely against these endless wars. So how could I be for this one? If I am, I am, uh,
01:49:22.020
absolutely wanting to get out of the Middle East. So how could you possibly be for this one?
01:49:26.420
Um, I, I don't want to nation build. So how could you possibly be for this one? I worry about the
01:49:33.600
people in Sudan. So why aren't we in Sudan? Uh, all of these things. Okay. And, and we have to make
01:49:41.960
sure that we've answered all of those questions. So I tried to give you the framework on how I was
01:49:46.100
looking at that, just not to convince you, but just so you can think about it yourself. So you can
01:49:53.020
decide you must be the person that makes the decision. This opinion must be yours. Nobody else's. Okay.
01:50:01.240
So what I came to in conclusion, uh, this weekend was I can celebrate that so far, very few Americans
01:50:10.920
have been hurt, um, or killed, and I can also mourn them. Um, I can also acknowledge the stunning
01:50:21.660
capability of the U S military. I can feel genuine hope for the Iranian women and the dissidents,
01:50:30.600
uh, you know, the homosexuals that have been thrown off rooftops by this administration. Um,
0.96
01:50:38.880
the children, the girls under nine, many multiples. Everybody talks about the kids that U S
0.99
01:50:45.560
accidentally bombed in a school and they thought, and that is a horrible, horrible, horrible tragedy.
01:50:53.200
But why are you not looking at the many multiples of girls who are married to old men in Iran at the
01:51:02.160
age of nine, 10 or 11, and their lives are completely destroyed. Why don't you care about those girls?
01:51:08.400
Now that can't be the only reason you say we can go, but it is a real reason, but it can't be the
01:51:17.240
only reason. Otherwise we'd be in Sudan and every place else. I can feel this hope. And at the same
1.00
01:51:25.640
time I can simultaneously say, I don't have any idea how this ends, but I believe this is just
01:51:37.180
but is that the end of the story? No, no, because if you're only making this about Iran, you're only
01:51:50.480
seeing a small picture. The thing that people don't understand with Donald Trump is he is a big vision
01:51:57.320
guy. Look, you don't build, you don't build what he has built. He's an empire builder. Okay. And
01:52:04.000
businessman. He builds empires. You don't have that kind of vision. And then look at everything
01:52:10.720
as a one-off. And in 2020, when he lost, he completely, he had time to go out to the wilderness
01:52:17.760
and he re-imagined what he was facing and then also what the country is facing. So his vision is
01:52:26.880
enormous. So you can look at Iran and you can say, okay, well that's causing terror in the Middle East and
1.00
01:52:33.480
well, that's why we're doing because of Israel. Is it, is it, is it, or is he also trying to get us
01:52:40.860
out of the Middle East? And that's why he's making all these peace deals there. And this, if it works,
01:52:47.680
could help bring and stabilize the Middle East even more and make the Middle East rely on themselves.
0.98
01:52:53.820
Exactly what he's asking the Germans and the French and the Italians and everybody else to do
01:52:58.780
in NATO, we're not going to be there for you. We cannot afford to do it. Middle East,
01:53:05.160
we cannot afford to do this. We're not going to be there for you. You must police your own
01:53:09.700
neighborhoods without leaving a vacuum. You saw what happened when we just left Afghanistan.
01:53:15.940
That's what vacuums do. So he is trying to get out of these places without leaving a vacuum and
01:53:22.180
building a framework for it to fall into that they can run. Okay. That's just one part of it.
01:53:31.560
The other part is cranks. There used to be the axis and allies powers and the axis powers were Germany
01:53:39.680
and Japan and Italy and all those that fought for, you know, the axis powers of, of Hitler. Okay.
0.52
01:53:47.500
That axis is now called crink and it crink C China, R Russia, I Iran and NK North Korea crink. Okay.
0.67
01:54:00.160
And that is this authoritarian group of States, um, and scholars and strategists and everything else
01:54:08.880
that are growing this anti-Western coordination and they have shared interests. They're not working
01:54:16.160
all in lockstep, but they work together. It's not a formal alliance like NATO or the Warsaw Pact,
01:54:21.460
but it is shorthand to understand who is on the opposing side of the West. Okay.
01:54:32.900
Now, why is this relevant? Because as we look to Iran in this conflict, what is he doing?
01:54:40.800
Well, by taking out Iran, China loses all of that oil that they must have. They're also sending, um,
0.79
01:54:55.920
they're sending tech to Iran, which will help Iran even slave more people. Um, but also they are
0.99
01:55:03.000
sending supersonic missile technology and they're working with Iran on that. Okay. You've got to stop that.
0.94
01:55:10.120
So you've hurt Iran with its financial, with its energy, with its oil, Russia, they, um, they need the
01:55:20.940
Russian oil for money. They sell their oil. They also work with Iran to get all of that oil, uh, to, uh, China.
01:55:31.900
But more importantly with Russia, they build all of Russia's drones. So when you look at the Russian
1.00
01:55:39.820
drones, knowing that they're all coming from Iran, this takes that out, which helps then the war in
1.00
01:55:47.660
Ukraine. Dugan just said, think of this Dugan just said, Alexander Dugan, he's, he was called Putin's
01:55:58.020
brain for a while. He just said that, um, if, if Iran falls, Russia falls as well.
01:56:10.440
Now, in a way, I hope that's not true because I don't want more destabilization, but I do want
01:56:15.300
the teeth pulled out of that tiger. Okay. So by hurting Iran, you are also trying to solve that.
0.81
01:56:25.160
You don't think he's going to have more leverage. You know, that Putin called Trump this weekend and
01:56:29.560
said, Hey, let's sit back down on the table and talk about Ukraine. Okay. It's already starting to
01:56:34.300
happen. This guy is like a nuclear chain reaction. He does one thing and all of these other things
01:56:41.240
happen because of that, all these dominoes start to fall. And if you don't, you can disagree with
01:56:48.140
that, but not that that is happening. You can disagree with, I don't think that's the right
01:56:53.040
thing to do, or I don't think it's going to work out, whatever, but you cannot deny that all of these
01:56:58.720
things are connected or you're just, you're, you're not worth talking to because you're not thinking
01:57:04.280
deeply enough. Okay. Just last week, we found out that India was switching. It's always been,
0.99
01:57:11.680
it's always played this middle ground, you know, Hey, I'm friends with Russia. Oh, Russia. I'm
0.60
01:57:16.100
friends with the United States. And they've played us back and forth for a long time. Trump just got
01:57:20.640
them to come into our camp. Now, why is that important? Because you've been hearing the dollar
01:57:26.280
is going to fall and China and Russia and the BRICS nations are trying to, uh, create their own
01:57:33.660
currency to collapse the American dollar. It's to have it stop being the world's reserve currency.
01:57:40.020
Who is the one that started BRICS? It's the I in BRICS, India. They're now on our side.
01:57:50.220
Plus you look at Venezuela. What did he do in Venezuela? What, what did he just say about Cuba?
01:57:56.760
It looks like Cuba is in so much trouble. They may just say, Hey, can we make a deal with the United
01:58:01.680
States that takes Cuba and Venezuela out of the China and the Russia camp? Are you beginning to
01:58:09.280
see how this is all connected? Plus all of the Iranian terrorist proxies are in Venezuela and Cuba
01:58:18.080
and also on our shores because they're being sent and trained in places like Venezuela.
01:58:24.320
So once you have all of this, then you begin to see the whole picture and you can come to the
01:58:32.480
conclusion being anti-war does not mean being anti-strength. We have to be strong. Being pro-peace
01:58:39.480
does not mean tolerating endless destabilization. Sometimes the most peaceful leader is the one
01:58:48.440
most willing to use force decisively, quickly force that does not become perpetual force.
01:58:56.440
Again, that takes the air out of people who are your enemies, it takes the air out of their lungs.
01:59:01.820
They go, Oh my gosh, don't ever do that again. Okay.
01:59:04.740
The test is going to be, does this shorten conflict or seed the next generation of conflict? And only
01:59:15.100
history can have no pundit. No, not me. Nobody else can say, can answer that. They all have their
01:59:21.160
opinions. You don't know what this is going to cause. And I said to the TV all weekend long, neither
01:59:25.920
do you, Jack, neither do you right now. Our job is to think clearly enough that when history does have
01:59:34.480
the answer, we recognize why. So after a whole weekend of prayer and study and thought, I came to
01:59:43.040
four conclusions and here they are. Most importantly, I trust God. I know one way or another, it's going
01:59:55.980
to work out the way he deems it. That does not mean I take my hands off the steering wheel in my own life
02:00:02.920
or in our country. It means I trust him. I remember the 2020 election. If that hadn't have happened,
02:00:13.480
we wouldn't have the president we have today. Like it or not, he's a different man.
02:00:20.080
Two, we have to search these things out. We have to be led by the spirit. We have to
02:00:27.260
use our own brain because it's required. We have to soul search, but soul search without politics.
02:00:38.940
Is this moral and just? Is this in our national interest? Is this America first? What does that
02:00:45.800
even mean? And for more reasons than I outlined here, I wrestled with this and I came up with,
02:00:54.280
yes, this is America first. Yes, this is a just war. That's my conclusion. Your conclusion may be
0.76
02:01:00.940
different and do not take my opinion as gospel. Third thing, this is not Donald Trump of 2016.
02:01:09.260
This president has made bold moves beginning with the moving of the embassy to Jerusalem,
02:01:15.240
which remember would set the world on fire, probably start World War III. That's what they said.
02:01:18.900
Killing of ISIS in less than four weeks. Best mindset couldn't be done in less than two years.
02:01:23.900
Then the killing of, uh, Solomay, whatever his name is world. What's his name? Solomany.
02:01:30.720
Solomany. Um, it was going to start World War III. Again, didn't then strike on the nuke plants in
0.66
02:01:36.660
Iran, start World War III. It didn't Venezuela can't be done. Look at the results. Now this prove this
1.00
02:01:41.820
president has proven to me that he understands peace through strength. And the best way to defend
02:01:47.480
enemies is with overwhelming force. He has proven to me that he does not like war, but he will act
02:01:53.900
when he believes it's in the nation's best interest for me. He has earned my respect enough to give him
02:02:01.740
the benefit of the doubt, not a blank check to nation build, but instead to stop the global threat
02:02:08.980
once and for all, give the people Iran a chance to rule themselves, take on China and Russia and
02:02:15.220
everything else and give our country a chance for a future. And four, while all of this, I believe
02:02:25.860
is true today, it still may end up in a way that is not to our liking, which brings me back to point
02:02:35.540
number one. I believe in God and all of it is going to end the way it is supposed to end. Just do your
02:02:52.340
Burn a launcher. Everyone in your family needs a plan for personal safety. I've got one. Your parents,
02:03:00.980
your children, your spouse, uh, not everybody is comfortable carrying a firearm. That doesn't mean
02:03:06.900
that they should be left without protection. This is tear gas in, uh, in my gun. Okay.
02:03:14.660
2022 FBI statistic, less than 0.01% of all alter altercations required a lethal response. 0.01%.
02:03:24.660
Most situations do not carry, uh, do not call for a gun. And if you're in the wrong state and you pull
02:03:29.700
a gun, you're in real trouble. The burner launcher fires non-lethal deterrents like tear gas and
02:03:35.060
kinetic rounds with a range of up to 60 feet. One shot can end, get incapacitated an attacker
02:03:40.180
for 40 minutes. That gives you time to escape legal in all 50 States, no permits, no background
02:03:45.540
checks, compact launcher, small enough to conceal carry without drawing attention right in the smaller
02:03:50.180
your back or in your purse or whatever. Uh, thousands have been sold worldwide. It is trusted
02:03:55.060
by hundreds of law enforcement, security professionals. I carry one myself. Uh, I have
02:04:00.580
kids living on college campuses or near college campuses. They're in their backtop, uh, they're in
02:04:06.420

So the president is giving a speech right now. He's saying that we are going to easily prevail
02:05:04.740
in war with Iran. Um, once we get control of the airspace, which is nice because you know,
02:05:12.180
they've protected the airspace with, I can't believe Russian and China, the best technology
02:05:17.140
they have. And we have just decimated it yet again. I mean, the military is so unbelievably
02:05:27.060
we have gone from running and looking like a joke with men in dresses, leaving Afghanistan
02:05:36.180
to this in one president. I tell you, it's why I worry about who's going to be the next president
