00:01:15.120We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:19.920But to keep this fight going, we need you right now.
00:01:23.120Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:01:26.280Give 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.
00:01:34.960If this isn't a podcast, this is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:01:39.900So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:02:55.380Tell us what you were thinking this week, what the big story of the week was.
00:02:58.280Maybe we missed something you need to tell us about, or you want a deeper understanding or explanation of whatever is happening in the news.
00:11:25.220But, I mean, it's like saying, you know, FDR going and saying, look, we're not going to get into a long, we're just going to go over and kick Hitler's ass and then come back and then we'll just elect a bunch of Republican presidents or just like Hitler.
00:11:38.640You know, you know, you just don't know how it's going to go.
00:11:41.800And it concerns me because, you know, Iran is not, they're not good.
00:11:53.720You know, and they got a lot of assets all around the world, I think, including here in America.
00:12:01.180Yeah, well, and that's probably one of the biggest things that we should worry about is asymmetrically what the Iranian regime is going to do because that will be their main, I guess, point of attack on us to see if they can pull that off.
00:12:12.760So that's whatever sleeper cells they have in both South America and within our own country.
00:12:16.600But not only that, but cells within our close to military bases all over the Middle East.
00:12:23.880You also got to look at the big one, shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, which has always been their major trump card.
00:12:30.040And they've already signaled that they plan on doing that while talks were going on in Iman a couple of weeks ago or a week ago.
00:13:14.100Donald Trump, the one thing is, I mean, the one reason why I think J.D. Vance could possibly get away with saying that is because he knows possibly what we don't know.
00:15:18.660I mean, it's got to be really difficult, got to be really difficult, especially with that, which, I mean, he did such a good job at that.
00:15:26.880I don't remember even seeing any expressions on his face or what's his face from the Speaker of the House.
00:15:33.700I don't remember seeing an expression from either one of them, which says an awful lot because I remember seeing Nancy Pelosi sitting behind him and rolling her eyes and everything else.
00:15:44.440There was no, there's no memory of what they did.
00:15:47.040But they allowed Donald Trump to do, I mean, that was such, Stephen Miller was responsible for that, wasn't he, Ricky?
00:25:50.240Proposition 10 will allow us to put this on the Texas Constitution, which prevents the use of Sharia law as a law.
00:26:01.400Instead of our Constitution and the Texas Constitution, the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution as law.
00:26:09.720It would prevent them from overriding our current laws.
00:26:14.100And it would stop them from doing things like circumcising your daughters, raping your daughters if they're not Muslim, preventing businesses from selling alcohol, preventing pornographic material in businesses, but not forced on people.
00:27:48.540If you don't pass this bill, do you know what they're doing in Dearborn, Michigan now?
00:27:53.800I think it's Dearborn, where they are now trying to pass a resolution that all of the city's documents and everything else will be in Arabic first.
00:31:36.600They, cause they didn't believe in the violent revolution that everyone else was preaching.
00:31:41.820Remember there was the Paris communes in the 1800s and everything else.
00:31:45.480And so there was these, there, there was just this list of, of blood, uh, and, and, and skirmishes and riots and everything else that people in America were like, I don't want that.
00:32:44.500Well, when he started doing all kinds of things that were progressive and taking the constitution, because people understood the declaration of independence, the constitution and our founding fathers, unlike we do now, they rejected and they were like, holy cow.
00:33:01.640So by 1930, the word progressive, progressive was erased.
00:33:08.420FDR comes in and he's now taking liberal.
00:33:11.660Now, liberal used to mean somebody who believed in the bill of rights, somebody who was, uh, you know, for, uh, empowering the people and living by the, the bill of rights and the constitutional order as understood by, you know, maximum amount of freedom.
00:33:28.460Um, but FDR changed that that's what they do.
00:33:32.600They always come in under cloak and it's like they're termites.
00:33:37.080They, they come in and they destroy whatever it is.
00:33:40.380And then they have to get into another mask and then they destroy that.
00:33:44.340And then another mask until they're finally revealed.
00:33:47.060So watch this history starts a communist, then they're progressives.
00:33:50.800Then Woodrow Wilson scares the hell out of people.
00:33:53.160So they, they morph and they put a new mask on and they say they're liberals until we get to this point.
00:33:58.900You know, we're in around 2000 where Hillary Clinton finally says, I'm a proud early 20th century American progressive because liberal, they had destroyed the word liberal so much that everybody was like, I don't want to vote for a liberal.
00:34:15.080So they became progressive again because you had forgotten what progressive meant under Woodrow Wilson in the early part of America.
00:34:25.760Now they've destroyed the word progressive again, and they've exposed themselves as who they really are to begin with communists, communist people who believe in giant state.
00:34:41.820They don't believe in the bill of rights.
00:34:44.320They don't believe in the U S constitution.
00:34:47.200When, when Donald Trump said at the state of the union this weekend, how do you, how do you not stand for that?
00:37:29.060Now, you get somebody who understands the structure and can think because they're not under the pressure and this is what they do for a living.
00:38:21.380Your membership in Torch's community means learning, empowering, and interacting with a growing community of like-minded people who believe in America.
00:39:40.500When Lama Ali Ahmad became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2021, she was eager to become a voter.
00:39:47.620In Lebanon, where she's from, elections were often derailed by crisis.
00:39:52.160But here she had faith in the process.
00:39:54.740She registered and voted in the municipal election the same day.
00:39:58.220That night, she gathered her family at the Dearborn home for special dinner of steak, chicken, and taboula and asked them how good it felt or told them how good it felt to finally be heard.
00:40:09.280That's the moment, quoting, that's the moment where I really felt that I was an American citizen.
00:40:15.000Last year, she celebrated another civic triumph, voting on a ballot printed in Arabic, her first language.
00:51:59.740Jimmy Stewart standing there, horse trembling, you know, collapsing under the weight of corruption and exhaustion, reading from the Constitution, from the phone book, from the soul of the Republic.
00:53:33.760What was happening was because of FDR, another progressive, they had grown the administrative state so large, Congress and the Senate still had to pass the laws, the rules for the administrative state.
00:55:11.940Tell the American people why you're shutting down the business of this government, the business of the people, to do something the people are against.
00:56:09.700In trying to prevent the paralysis, the Senate made paralysis easier because when obstruction no longer requires stamina, it no longer requires effort, it no longer even requires conviction, it only requires strategy.
00:56:30.840And strategy is always cheaper than sacrifice, and that was the pivot point in America.
00:56:38.060History is full of institutions that were destroyed by bad intentions.
00:56:42.800But sometimes, you know, in the name of practicality, really bad things happens, and this is one of those things.
00:56:53.080So it creates the modern zombie filibuster.
00:57:38.380If you require your elected senator to stand and talk and defend why he wants to obstruct something, especially this popular, are you really weakening the filibuster?
00:57:54.240You're restoring the demand that you actually believe in something because the American people do.
00:58:14.680Returning to a talking filibuster does not change the cloture threshold.
01:07:01.640If you missed, uh, what we were just talking about, uh, I, I got into the, um, the, uh, filibuster and, uh, and John Thune and what weasel.
01:07:17.600Uh, and I'd really prefer not to do it through executive order because I think he's going to include things that, you know, you, you just can't, you, I just don't want the federal guy.
01:07:28.320I'm not going to, I'm going to stop talking about this anyway, just make them stand and defend themselves.
01:07:52.580Uh, so I was just wondering, uh, I was told, so I've been talking to a bunch of, uh, people from my school who are, um, conservative, Republican, like, and, uh, they've had some, like, they've been wondering if like JD Vance, like next, uh, term, let's say like elected.
01:08:15.280Then, uh, like, will he be able to keep the ball rolling?
01:08:23.700Well, I, you know, I don't know, Zach, and I don't think you should assume that JD Vance is going to be the guy.
01:08:28.480I mean, I, I just talked to, uh, Rubio and Vance at the same time.
01:08:32.700We were in the hallway outside of the oval office and, uh, they both came one at a time.
01:08:37.260And then, and, uh, and the, uh, and secretary Rubio, he came out first.
01:08:43.580I was talking to him and I said, what, what is, I mean, I've always liked you, Marco, but man, you are becoming, you're just like a machine.
01:09:00.240And then JD Vance came in and, uh, and saw that Marco was there and we were talking and, and, uh, I said, uh, JD, we're just talking about how amazing this administration is.
01:09:12.340And he said, without hearing Marco, he said, it's him.
01:09:15.720He said, he is just, he is on it 24 hours a day.
01:09:19.320And he said, he just, every day he's like, what should we do next?
01:09:26.240And, uh, I just heard JD talk about this and said, you know, we need to take some time and say, Hey, this is what we've done.
01:09:32.020Donald Trump is not, he, he knows the clock is ticking.
01:09:36.620And, uh, and I'm not sure anyone will get that as much, but I do like the idea that JD Vance and, uh, Marco Rubio both were in this administration and saw how it can be done.
01:09:50.380But I wouldn't write off Ron DeSantis either.
01:09:53.620I mean, I think Ron DeSantis was remarkable and still is remarkable in Florida.
