00:00:30.000
Welcome to the program. We've got a lot coming up today.
00:00:34.160
And in fact, so much that we can't even know what to schedule.
00:00:37.940
We were talking about this. There's so many news stories going on right now that like stories that used to lead the news for a week or two weeks.
00:00:45.320
Now we don't even get to. We don't even get to. They're not even stories anymore.
00:00:50.120
It is fascinating. And we have so many important performances to get to.
00:00:56.320
There's so many incredible performances, people vying for Emmys and Oscars and Tony Awards.
00:01:02.260
Of course, Gavin Newsom, one of the leaders of the pack with his performance of his incredible one man play, Come Arrest Me Tough Guy.
00:01:13.140
And then there is, of course, Alex Padilla getting into the mix yesterday with an incredible performance as he was able to lower himself down to the street.
00:01:21.660
But I think they were saying they were so proud of him for standing up when the entire story was about him lying down.
00:01:29.680
So that's a whole nother situation. We'll get to that here and so much more in just a moment.
00:01:37.180
Hello, America. You know, we've been fighting every single day.
00:01:40.180
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:01:46.200
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:51.400
But to keep this fight going, we need you right now.
00:01:54.440
Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:01:57.580
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.
00:02:11.100
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:02:41.100
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
00:03:25.320
It is Friday and we have a very special episode of Masterpiece Theater.
00:03:30.860
Yes, with some of the greatest thespians and lesbians, perhaps, on America's stage.
00:03:42.440
We like to call this one The Trail of Tears, starring Elizabeth Warren and Senator Padilla.
00:03:53.500
But we got to get to what the heck just happened in the world.
00:03:57.000
We get to Israel and what happened just last night.
00:04:02.200
Why this is not Iraq and why it still terrifies the crap out of me.
00:04:10.580
Do you remember when preparation meant, you know, having a flashlight, maybe a can of chili in the pantry?
00:04:16.980
Well, welcome to 2025 where stranger danger is real and the guy at the door may not be selling you good Girl Scout cookies, even though he's dressed as a Girl Scout.
00:04:26.280
That's why you want to check out the Burna Launcher.
00:04:28.320
It's a non-lethal weapon that fires high-powered Connecticut pepper and tear gas projectiles, the kind that stops someone in their tracks without taking their life in the process, but protects you and your family.
00:04:39.460
There's no permit necessary, no background check, legal in all 50 states.
00:04:45.900
It is designed for normal people, which means it is easy to use, easy to carry, and easy to keep on hand in your car, your nightstand, or even your backpack.
00:04:53.320
They even make a compact version, so it's really small.
00:04:58.980
It makes it easy to, you know, carry it in your handbag.
00:05:08.940
Would somebody use it on me if I ever carry a merse?
00:05:14.840
But if I do, my family does, I'll be glad we had it on hand.
00:05:18.280
Go to Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com, use their retail store locator to find the nearest location near you, offering live demonstrations, including select sportsman's warehouse stores, Berna, their retail stores, and authorized premier dealers, Berna.com.
00:05:37.680
Let me just say this, because I have quite a monologue.
00:05:42.060
I spent about three hours on about one o'clock in the morning I started it.
00:05:46.160
And I will tell you, maybe some anger therapy might have been better, but I took it all out on a monologue, and I'm going to unleash that onto some people that I actually still refer to as friends.
00:06:05.340
I just don't know what the hell people are thinking.
00:06:08.720
But let's start with why this war is not Iraq, and yet why it terrifies me.
00:06:18.200
I used to be, you know, in my youth, a little more war happy, you know, because I wasn't going to fight it.
00:06:24.500
And, yeah, we should do that, and we should go, and we've got to police the world.
00:06:31.320
And I have learned from, you know, my first 30, 40 years of my life that what I was for was absolutely wrong.
00:06:46.220
For one, it's not only wrong for America, but it is also, I've seen too many people come home broken or not come home at all.
00:06:58.580
And those who do come home, nobody seems to care about them.
00:07:01.280
And I just think it is absolutely abhorrent the way we treat our soldiers.
00:07:05.920
And I've watched our country send generation after generation off to foreign battles with no clear ending.
00:07:16.520
Tell me who our enemy was besides Osama bin Laden for 20 years.
00:07:25.440
Well, it's the ideology of, what is that ideology?
00:07:30.860
And then we were told that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
00:07:34.260
You know, we were told we can't afford to wait, and so we went.
00:07:37.360
And in the end, whether you believe the cause or not, it became another drawn-out conflict, another wound in our national spirit.
00:07:44.660
And far too many American families were touched by it.
00:07:47.940
And once again, the world is holding its breath.
00:07:50.840
Israel yesterday struck Iran hard, precisely, and quietly.
00:07:58.780
And before the screaming starts from the headlines, the chambers of the UN, the cable news panels,
00:08:04.120
let's stop and ask ourselves a few hard questions, shall we?
00:08:26.380
Well, let me tell you what makes this moment unlike anything else we have faced before.
00:08:36.160
This is not a campaign to topple a regime and then sit around for 20 years trying to rebuild a culture that doesn't want what we have.
00:08:42.940
Even though Iran, the Iranian people are good people, the Persians are great people, and they do want a life like ours.
00:09:00.300
Against the very real, very stated intentions of a regime run by men who do not think like we think.
00:09:27.380
The Ayatollahs, the supreme leader, the mullahs, the puppet masters of the so-called Islamic Republic and their Sharia law.
00:09:36.640
I have said this for years and years and years.
00:09:39.160
If you don't understand this, you don't understand Iran.
00:09:43.820
They are followers of a branch of Shiite Islam that believes not just in the return of the messianic figure called the Mahadi,
00:09:51.860
but also that his return can and must be, in their words, hastened or accelerated.
00:09:58.020
And the only way to do that is to, quote, using their words, wash the world in blood.
00:10:06.060
You know, that's my first stop on the train, and I'm like, I'm going to get off here, please.
00:10:11.580
The highest religious leader who actually is in charge of the entire country,
00:10:17.280
the one who commands the Revolutionary Guard, who fund the terror groups by Hezbollah and Hamas,
00:10:24.160
the ones who train children to chant death to America in the streets,
00:10:28.240
believe the world must be engulfed in destruction and flames to usher in the end times.
00:10:37.800
And that this is the regime trying to build a nuclear bomb.
00:10:43.280
Now, I have a problem with this because I've been talking about this since 2000, maybe 2002.
00:10:51.660
You know, I stopped listening to John Bolton a long time ago.
00:10:54.460
It was a kind of cute little oldie thing that he would, you know, he'd bring up once in a while.
00:10:57.900
But I don't know if they were close to the bomb.
00:11:00.160
I don't know if anybody knows they were close to the bomb.
00:11:04.880
I will tell you what Benjamin Netanyahu told me in, like, 2010.
00:11:09.980
I had a meeting with him, and I'm like, are they close to a bomb?
00:11:13.620
But when we believe that they are truly close to a bomb, it doesn't matter what the world will say.
00:11:24.500
Okay, so they want a nuclear bomb because they want to wash the world in blood.
00:11:31.860
Now, contrast that with the doctrine of mutually assured destruction that has kept peace between nuclear superpowers for over a half century.
00:11:41.880
The Chinese Communist Party, they don't even want to die.
00:11:45.500
Even North Korea, as crazy as that fat dude is, he doesn't want to lose power and his life.
00:11:52.220
But Iran, they're not afraid of death because they've got all those virgins coming their way.
00:12:07.940
So ask yourself, what happens when those beliefs collide with the power of a nuclear warhead?
00:12:14.460
And by the way, you should answer this now because we're going to have to answer this when France topples to the same kind of radicals
00:12:20.000
and when England topples to the same kind of radicals.
00:12:25.300
Because you do not want these regimes with nuclear weapons.
00:12:29.420
Now, with all that said, I don't want my son going off to war.
00:12:33.240
I don't want America, again, to play the policeman or be dragged into another theater of blood and sand.
00:12:41.100
But I also do not want to be the father who has to tell his children, yeah, we saw it coming.
00:12:50.160
We saw what they were building, but we didn't do anything, you know, because, well, I mean, who are we to say?
00:12:56.020
When the only country most affected by this did something last night surgically, they are the tip of the spear.
00:13:07.240
They're the ones that are going to get speared first, vaporized first, and they're the ones that are like, you know what?
00:13:38.720
Now, I got on the social media spheres last night, and I just gave a few opinions, and none of them were bloodthirsty.
00:13:51.560
But, boy, I got to tell you, I am a warmonger and a Jew lover, I found out, from a lot of people.
00:13:59.200
I've listened to you for years, and I've always known you were a Jew lover.
00:14:04.640
You haven't listened to me for years then, okay?
00:14:10.080
But what Israel did matters because they didn't wait for the mushroom cloud.
00:14:19.240
Tell me the last time our country, even, that you can say, I used to say this all the time.
00:14:24.760
Look, we have never been in it for land or oil or anything else.
00:14:36.420
But are you telling me that our government, we haven't done a war or two here recently where we haven't had greedy eyes on the wealth of another nation?
00:14:48.580
They killed their top scientists, and they killed the leaders of their military, and then they took out the installation that was making the bomb.
00:15:04.540
That is really good, but it doesn't mean that it's, you know, the Middle East isn't going to spiral out of control, and it doesn't mean our streets in Europe or in America are going to get more peaceful, okay?
00:15:24.260
But let me quote Thomas Jefferson poorly, but after he stopped our first foreign war with the Barbary pirates, which was Islam, who just were coming on the seas and taking everybody's ship and their stuff, and then they were enslaving or killing any infidel.
00:15:41.100
Because, you know, you're not a Muslim, and if you won't submit, I can either kill you or use you as, you know, a sex slave or some other kind of slave.
00:15:52.220
And, you know, everybody's like, we got to get out of that war.
00:15:56.360
But he said, at the end, you know, I just got to warn you, it's our first foreign war, but if we don't understand the ideology that these people have, it will be our last war as well.
00:16:10.540
And I think we are going to find, I mean, look at what's happening in Europe.
00:16:14.020
Look what's happening in our own streets with the Palestinian crap.
00:16:19.300
If you don't think we're going to eventually have a war with Islam, you are mistaken.
00:16:26.180
And I don't want one, because I think it is going to be ugly.
00:16:45.880
And not every country has people in it that don't want what we, they don't think like, you know, we think.
00:16:57.680
And they have spent two decades slow walking this game, smuggling uranium, building enrichment centrifuges.
00:17:08.740
They are slaughtering protesters in their own streets.
00:17:11.740
The difference is now Israel felt the clock was up.
00:17:15.880
And Israel knew if they waited, there'd be no second chance.
00:17:36.100
I do not want us to get involved in another war.
00:17:42.600
But peace doesn't come from pretending evil doesn't exist.
00:17:48.220
You know, you're not being asked to rush the gates.
00:17:52.100
You're being asked, can you just stop holding the gates open for these people?
00:17:58.380
And that's exactly what is happening on our streets, in our universities, in our business, in our government.
00:18:05.660
We are holding the door open every time somebody else comes across our border.
00:18:10.540
Every time you say, I don't want to get rid of those people.
00:18:13.120
We have 8,000 people that we know of that are here, that are Islamists, that are also on the terrorist watch list.
00:18:25.060
If you don't think that we're going to be fighting this at some point, because we can't seem to get serious,
00:18:31.020
nobody will even say, I can't tell you how much trouble I'm going to be in for saying Islamists are evil.
00:19:00.160
And, you know, what happens is, you know, you have to stop it coming, you know, you have to stop it before it gets a bomb.
00:19:24.160
And I was so happy to see how surgical this strike was.
00:19:30.560
We're going to go to Jason Buttrell here in just a second and get his take on what happened last night.
00:19:35.540
But first, let me tell you about Leaf Filter, our sponsor.
00:19:44.580
And one of the biggest culprits is clogged gutters.
00:19:46.980
Leaves, pine needles, shingle grit, they all build up over time and they stop water from flowing.
00:19:52.600
And before you know it, you're looking at rotten boards, damaged siding, or even foundation issues.
00:19:57.800
It's not real fun and it's not cheap to deal with.
00:20:02.820
Their system uses stainless steel micro mesh that attaches right to your existing gutters.
00:20:13.140
No more ladders, no more Saturdays spent scooping black sludge out while hoping you don't fall off the ladder.
00:20:21.240
So if you've been putting it off and you're tired of having to clean your gutters every time you get a storm in your area, now is the time.
00:20:28.220

This is an amazing thing that happened last night.
00:20:57.260
Welcome Jason Buttrell, who is the best week for you and I just to hang out.
00:21:02.240
First, the week of everything in LA and now this.
00:21:08.280
That was astounding what Israel did last night.
00:21:12.920
This is what we expected when Russia targeted Ukraine.
00:21:22.640
I don't know how many militaries in the world are modern after analyzing what happened last night.
00:21:31.800
I was looking at this for an hour, but it felt like analyzing war plans that are supposed to go on for an entire week.
00:21:40.000
That's what they did in about 60 minutes, which included over 200 war planes hitting precision targets.
00:21:47.120
And my military mind was thinking, okay, this is how conventional warfare looks.
00:21:53.140
Because at first, there were still reports of hitting the nuclear sites.
00:21:55.580
And I was like, well, they're hitting anti-air capabilities.
00:22:01.800
But then we started seeing the precision strikes.
00:22:06.400
We know some of the nuclear scientists were hit.
00:22:10.340
But Iran's chief of staff of the armed forces, basically their chief of staff, taken out within about 60 minutes.
00:22:17.100
And that one was like somebody had to see him go into his house, right?
00:22:22.360
I mean, they hit these people as they arrived at places.
00:22:26.800
They had to have somebody on the ground saying, he's there.
00:22:35.480
And then, so another one, their central headquarters deputy chief of staff.
00:22:40.240
It's not a good time in modern history to be a chief of their IRGC.
00:22:49.660
Now, the new one, General, his name is awesome, General Salami.
00:23:03.680
They haven't taken out Mrs. Pepperoni, haven't they?
00:23:09.360
All the people that were around for the original revolution, you know, the Islamic revolution in Iran.
00:23:15.160
They are getting systematically just taken out.
00:23:21.060
It's my understanding that the mullahs put out an order, everybody stay in your house.
00:23:29.080
But they're telling everybody, stay in your house because they're afraid the people will rise up because they have been so weakened.
00:23:39.880
And the Democrats do everything they can to, you know, prop this regime up.
00:23:48.600
But, wow, what they did last night was phenomenal.
00:23:56.460
And we'll continue that conversation because what was our involvement?
00:24:03.860
You know, when the dollar starts to crack, the people who get hurt first are the ones who did everything right.
00:24:09.580
The savers, the retirees, the families just trying to protect what they've built.
00:24:13.720
That's why I've been talking about gold and silver for years now.
00:24:18.200
By the way, have we seen, can you tell me the price of oil?
00:24:29.560
The people who have been helping you move a portion of your savings into physical precious metals, they are the people that can really help you.
00:24:44.560
The people that did that, they stored things safely and they were in your control and they rolled over things and just got into assets that they could have on hand.
00:25:16.940
Listen anytime at glennbeck.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:25:19.880
So, what was our involvement in the bombing of Iran?
00:25:55.440
He tells you exactly what, you know, cards he's holding in his hand.
00:26:01.620
You know, you can play that and you can look for his twitchy eye.
00:26:08.880
And I'm going to be, in his case, in Donald Trump's case, he said to Iran, you have 60 days.
00:26:17.560
You have 60 days to come to the table and make a deal.
00:26:23.100
And we've sent people over and we were negotiating with him.
00:26:29.800
And, you know, he kept saying to Benjamin Netanyahu, nope, nope, nope, don't do anything.
00:26:38.540
And held Benjamin Netanyahu off on bombing until the end of day 60.
00:26:47.280
And last night before the bombing, he made a statement, there's still time for them to negotiate.
00:26:54.980
They obviously didn't get that message, didn't call.
00:27:10.120
Donald Trump, I mean, this is, this is him 15 hours ago.
00:27:14.240
We can, we are committed to a diplomatic resolution to an Iran nuclear issue.
00:27:19.260
My entire administration has been directed to negotiate with Iran.
00:27:22.640
They could be a great country, but they must first completely give up hopes of obtaining nuclear weapon.
00:27:28.860
Then just this morning, I gave Iran a chance, a chance after chance after chance to make a deal.
00:27:35.240
I told them in the strongest words to just do it.
00:27:37.940
But no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn't get it done.
00:27:42.360
I told them it would be much worse than anything they know or anticipated or were told.
00:27:47.860
And the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the world by far.
00:27:53.380
And that Israel has a lot of it with much more to come.
00:27:59.240
Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen.
00:28:07.340
There has already been a great deal of death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter with the next already planned attacks being more brutal come to an end.
00:28:16.860
Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire.
00:28:29.360
Two months ago, I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to make a deal.
00:28:41.700
He held the enemies of Iran at bay, who were going to do it because it's Israel.
00:28:47.780
And when they feel threatened, they're going to do what they have to do.
00:28:56.620
And on day 61 or the morning of day 61, they go in.
00:29:11.500
I don't think this was just a setup for him to say, you know what, and then on day 61, I think he actually wanted a deal.
00:29:25.320
Israeli officials say Trump's approval of the Iran attack.
00:29:29.860
We had a clear U.S. green light, adding reports of Trump restraining Israel.
00:29:34.320
They were planted to deceive while Trump and Netanyahu coordinated the attack in private.
00:29:44.120
And I don't think that it was meant to deceive.
00:29:46.580
I think if they would have come to the table with a deal, Trump would have said, take it.
00:29:59.300
What was really weird was the 24 to 48 hours before all this happened.
00:30:04.360
The very public leaks of the U.S. pulling out diplomatic personnel, putting every embassy on high alert.
00:30:12.740
That seemed very odd to me and very coordinated.
00:30:15.700
With Pete Hegseth going in front of Congress and saying they are now actively going forward towards a nuclear weapon.
00:30:25.240
At least if we're taking out the deceive stuff, if anything, it was meant to, this is pushing towards a diplomatic deal.
00:30:37.800
How many times has this come to bite people in the ass that work with me?
00:30:44.680
I will negotiate something or I will be talking about something.
00:30:47.880
And I will say, because I learned, what is it worth to you?
00:31:05.200
Now, just tell everybody at the table, look, it's only worth this to me.
00:31:08.600
So, you have to beat this number or you have to make my life different because I'm not willing to do anything other than this.
00:31:17.980
And when you know that, it scares the hell out of people.
00:31:23.460
And that's what the rest of the world is dealing with right now.
00:31:25.820
A negotiator like Donald Trump, he tells you, this is what I'm going to do.
00:31:32.720
This is what's going to happen if we do a deal.
00:31:39.880
Now, a good negotiator knows that at any time the other side can come to the table.
00:31:47.640
And a good negotiator knows that somebody could come to the table and then not do a deal.
00:31:51.580
So, you better be ready to do whatever it is you said.
00:31:54.020
Because if you don't, this is a problem with most people.
00:31:56.560
When they go to their boss and they're like, you know what?
00:32:07.940
Because you have no chance of having any authority at all.
00:32:13.640
Because the boss will never look at you the same.
00:32:16.200
You have to mean what you say and say what you mean.
00:32:19.060
And the rest of the world has not seen that from a president of the United States or quite
00:32:28.940
Donald Trump says what he means and means what he says when he's negotiating.
00:32:40.640
We're used to a politician who says, you know, my red line is 60 days.
00:32:46.360
Why do you think Iran didn't pay any attention?
00:32:52.600
They say this and then we cross their red line and they do nothing.
00:32:55.980
If Donald Trump would have said 60 days and then nothing would have happened after, can
00:33:02.060
Everybody would have said, he's got no credibility.
00:33:06.200
He was always saying, you know, Barack Obama has no red lines that mean anything.
00:33:10.960
He just gave them a red line and now it doesn't mean anything.
00:33:17.980
I think the attempts to deceive, I think that's bad language.
00:33:23.300
I do think though, this is what I think happened.
00:33:25.260
I think this happened right after the inauguration.
00:33:28.400
I believe that Net Yahoo and Trump got together and they said, let's give them an ultimatum.
00:33:34.200
I am going to push like hell for a diplomatic solution.
00:33:37.720
I will push like hell after anything goes kinetic.
00:33:41.040
But I think they both agreed at that point that after that 60 days, something will happen.
00:33:47.720
Look, if you're negotiating for a house and you know somebody on the other side is, you
00:33:53.780
know, a shark or not really, you know, a decent person, but you want the house and
00:34:00.100
so you're negotiating with them and they're playing this game.
00:34:06.240
You know, we can, we can eat around the edges here or there, but you know, in 20 days, if
00:34:11.940
we don't have a deal, I'm walking from the house and they're just keep dragging it out
00:34:16.120
because they think they're, you're just going to eventually give.
00:34:19.740
What do you do if you're in that, in that situation, you either sign up for, I'm just
00:34:26.440
going to end up paying whatever it is they want.
00:34:40.640
That's not deceiving the guy on the other end of the table because you're going out to
00:34:45.580
You already told them, look in 20 days, I'm going to, I'm going to go and find another
00:34:52.800
So let's negotiate, but I'm not going to be sitting behind the eight ball.
00:34:57.280
When he said 60 days, and then he even said, you don't want to know what's going to happen
00:35:05.220
But I'm telling you have 60 days to do the deal.
00:35:09.060
He is telling them the most powerful people in the world.
00:35:14.540
We have this problem with, we had it with Osama bin Laden.
00:35:19.020
The most powerful people in the world say, you know what?
00:35:22.340
I'm going to get an atomic bomb and I'm going to burn Israel in the fires of the Islamic fury.
00:35:26.680
And everybody's like, they're never going to do that.
00:35:28.580
Well, just because you wouldn't do that doesn't mean that one won't.
00:35:36.540
Do they have a record of doing things like that?
00:35:39.680
Are they throwing gay people off of rooftops because they don't believe in homosexuality?
00:35:44.900
Do they throw battery acid in women's faces because they looked at a man?
00:35:49.480
Do they stone a woman to death, but let the man go free if there was a case of an adultery?
00:35:56.780
So what makes you think that they won't burn Israel in the fires of the Islamic fury?
00:36:02.780
You must take people, especially when they're threatening to kill you.
00:36:15.980
Everybody is negotiating and nobody's really telling the truth.
00:36:19.860
And then when a guy who comes in and tells everybody the truth, look, this is what I'm going to do.
00:36:33.700
It's like it's like his promises that he's made on the campaign trail.
00:36:58.560
So, I find it really irresponsible and reprehensible that there were, I guess these were, were these
00:37:15.800
I find that really reprehensible, really reprehensible.
00:37:26.600
What do you think he was doing over with the UAE and Saudi Arabia and even Syria?
00:37:36.360
Let's not have the entire Middle East turn on us.
00:37:42.780
Let's try to lay some foundation here so we don't have the whole Middle East set on fire.
00:37:48.080
And by the way, is anybody in the press willing to recognize, you know, who's not crying bloody
00:37:59.560
You don't hear anybody in Saudi Arabia screaming bloody murder.
00:38:16.540
They don't have the balls to stand up and say it.
00:38:20.360
Because they're afraid of their own extremist population.
00:38:25.560
That's what you're dealing with in the Middle East.
00:38:33.660
I pray hard for the Persian people in Iran that are friends of ours and they're friends
00:38:41.640
But I hope those mullahs and those clerics and the Ayatollah and all of those people that
00:38:47.580
think that it's cool just to kill people because they don't believe your faith.
00:38:51.100
I hope they burn in the fire of their own Islamic fury.
00:38:56.080
I guarantee you guys, they're not getting any virgins.
00:39:00.840
Well, I mean, hell might just give you 70 really domineering, ugly, fat ass.
00:39:11.720
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:39:14.520
I don't think most people understand what a woman's really facing when she walks into
00:39:22.000
And then I started listening, started learning, started hearing.
00:39:29.320
There's confusion and far too often loneliness.
00:39:34.280
They don't want to make this decision most times, but they don't know what else to do.
00:39:38.660
When that same woman walks into an abortion clinic, she gets an abortion.
00:39:44.240
When she walks into a pre-born clinic, pre-born offers her a free ultrasound.
00:39:49.880
And if you're considering this, let's just take an ultrasound, see what we have here.
00:39:53.500
And when mom hears the heartbeat and sees the baby, she's like, oh my gosh.
00:39:58.480
And it changes her, doubles the chance she chooses life.
00:40:02.060
The only remaining obstacle nine out of 10 times is I can't afford diapers.
00:40:11.060
You know, one woman was like, I can't get to work.
00:40:15.180
The clinic was like, how about if we get you a car?
00:40:18.380
If we could get you a car, would you, it would take you to work.
00:40:21.760
And they found somebody to donate, you know, a used car.
00:40:24.340
And she was like, she just cried and cried and cried.
00:40:29.340
I can't take the bus because I already have two kids and I can't do it with three.
00:40:33.020
One of them, one of the women's problem was I need a three baby carriage carrier.
00:40:40.760
I have three babies and I need something to do all three of them.
00:40:45.380
And she's like, okay, then I want to have this child.
00:40:52.300
May I suggest now you go to preborn.com, preborn.com slash back and make a donation of anything
00:41:01.300
$28 or $29 is the price of an ultrasound doubles the chances.
00:41:09.000
That's pound 250 keyword, baby, or visit preborn.com slash back sponsored by preborn.
00:41:22.300
Have you ever stopped to think about how your investments might quietly support policies
00:41:33.080
that conflict with traditional American values?
00:41:35.880
It's surprising, but many standard investment portfolios actually include companies actively
00:41:43.800
And without realizing it, investors' hard-earned dollars could be funding causes they fundamentally
00:41:47.680
disagree with and even undermining the values that they hold dear.
00:41:51.020
If you're anything like me, you know, that idea can be pretty frustrating and honestly
00:42:01.500
Well, investors can use strategic investment choices and proactive shareholder advocacy to
00:42:10.980
Their advisors don't just understand conservative values.
00:42:13.540
They actively respect and uphold what matters to you.
00:42:17.940
Unlike typical financial firms, Constitution Wealth intentionally screens companies based
00:42:22.620
on their alignment with conservative American principles, making sure your investments genuinely
00:42:29.560
By partnering with Constitution Wealth, you join a growing movement of Americans who are
00:42:34.520
committed to aligning their financial decisions with their core values.
00:42:38.200
Don't wait until your investments have unintentionally funded the very things you work so hard to
00:42:43.080
It's your money, it's your values, and your future.
00:42:47.600
Take control of the future of America and everything it stands for.
00:42:56.820
You know, I think America, you need to wake up to the fact, and I'm not beating the drums
00:43:19.080
I am warning you, pray for peace, but prepare for fire.
00:43:23.080
You look at all of the things that are happening all over the Western world right now, the streets
00:43:30.640
that are on fire, and it's 9 out of 10 Islam, communism, anarchists, or Palestinian stuff.
00:43:41.260
You see the Europe, where did all these refugees come from?
00:43:49.300
You know, the United States took on 400,000 people in World War II, 400,000 refugees.
00:44:03.360
And if you think that we're not going to eventually fight in our own streets, you're crazy.
00:44:09.480
Now, the best thing we can do is deport, send people back, restore the rule of law, make sure
00:44:16.060
we know who is here, and then we don't have to fight a war.
00:44:27.940
There is a growing number of Americans who want to be protected in situations, but violence
00:44:47.800
could break out at any time, and they just don't want to carry a firearm.
00:44:50.720
For those people, and for just about anybody who wants additional options for protection
00:44:55.840
available, or if you live in California, you see what's happening around you, and you can't
00:45:02.880
It looks and feels like a handgun, scary handgun.

Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
00:46:01.080
She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her
00:46:06.000
Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers

00:49:24.580
to be on your show and discussing what we're about to discuss glenn um a lot of people were praying for
00:49:31.040
you last night a lot of americans are a little freaked out i i kind of i'm not freaked out but
00:49:36.380
i'm very concerned you know one of the things that you know the president one of the things he really
00:49:41.620
ran and won on is we're going to stop all these endless wars uh and we don't have an end in sight
00:49:47.060
for russia uh and ukraine and this one while this is your battle and a very important one it is going
00:49:55.500
to affect the entire world what happened um how what was the convincing evidence if you can tell us
00:50:03.420
how close were they to a bomb yeah i think you're right and i think the concerns of the americans that
00:50:12.080
you referred to they are very valid that this will affect other people in the world i think what israel
00:50:18.860
has the potential to affect significant positive change in the region and currently the ball is in
00:50:27.420
the iranian hands they have now the option to choose how to respond to what you i think correctly
00:50:35.060
described as a quite a magnificent and unprecedented military strike surprise against iran taking out
00:50:42.560
more than 20 of their senior leaders conducting hundreds of strikes in all across iran about
00:50:49.980
eight nine hundred a thousand miles away from israel we struck and all of our pilots have come home
00:50:56.280
safely many months of preparations and many years of collecting intelligence mossad and i israeli air
00:51:05.020
force cooperating together here maybe also special forces on the ground but bottom line this is a
00:51:10.700
really i think an historic operation that will be studied by military experts but we'll leave that
00:51:16.600
aside for a second and address the concerns of people now the iranians have to decide what are
00:51:22.920
they going to do how are they going to respond they've tried to respond by sending about 100 drones
00:51:28.180
they've been intercepted and now we're going to see how the iranians are responding and the president
00:51:33.080
i think very correctly tell them well you got the option of going and making a deal because you
00:51:39.380
the iranians are not going to have a nuclear bomb and if you continue going down the path of
00:51:45.120
violence then this will end badly for you that's what the u.s president is saying now in terms of
00:51:50.580
what you know the tipping point was iran has been dashing for the bomb for a long period of time i think
00:51:58.600
the atomic agency report that verified that iran is not only enriching uranium to weapons grade and has
00:52:07.600
enough fissile material for at least 10 bombs but that iran is also in non-compliance when it comes
00:52:15.140
to their obligations to allow international supervision of their sites and i think that and a lot of
00:52:22.340
intelligence that we will i think have declassified in the future was the tipping point and at the end
00:52:28.500
of the day this is has been you know months if not years in the making iran has an open goal to
00:52:34.380
annihilate the state of israel they say it clearly in farsi in their language we know that they mean
00:52:40.820
business and we also know that if we allow them to develop the tools to do so they might be tempted
00:52:46.380
to use them and that is what israel has today started to unravel in terms of those iranian
00:52:52.540
capabilities so i was a little disappointed today uh two israeli officials that's all it said in this
00:52:58.440
axios uh article that they said that president trump was instrumental in all of this etc etc but uh
00:53:06.860
he and benjamin netanyahu were engaged in deception and i i read this as i don't think israel would have
00:53:15.720
done something this massive without the united states you know in their corner um but i don't think
00:53:21.140
it's deceptive when the president says you have 60 days to negotiate and you don't want to see what
00:53:26.340
happens on day 61 uh i don't think that's deceptive to make plans to go in on day 61 he kept giving them
00:53:34.980
the same warning over and over again do you read that as deception or a negotiator that is telling you
00:53:41.560
the truth i think actually it's both it's deception in the good way of how to wage war and how to catch
00:53:52.080
your enemy unaware and unprepared and that is what israel did has the u.s president been deceptive no i
00:54:00.440
don't think so i think he's been very straightforward telling the iranians time and time again this is the
00:54:06.440
best deal that you're going to get you should relinquish all attempts to enrich material in iran and
00:54:13.720
you should allow full comprehensive inspection of all of your sites nuclear as well as weapons
00:54:19.940
development and if you do that nothing bad is going to happen and we will probably
00:54:24.320
freeze sanctions and good things will happen to iran the iranian leadership heard that but didn't
00:54:30.400
do it and as you said correctly we are today on day 61 of the presidential ultimatum right and this is
00:54:37.680
what happens yeah it's just a president that draws a red line and then actually means it ben rhodes came
00:54:42.940
out today and said war is breaking out because donald trump pulled out of the iran deal and got humiliated
00:54:48.080
by netanyahu while trying to negotiate his own and he's going to have a military parade for his
00:54:52.600
birthday this is the weakest strongman ever is that why this happened because because donald trump
00:54:58.540
pulled out of the iran deal i think that sounds like a very bitter former person of influence
00:55:05.820
who you know was part in devising a lousy deal for america a lousy deal for the world
00:55:14.500
and he's bitter because the other perspective and the other line of thought is prevailing and i think
00:55:23.140
that if we look at the current situation in the middle east the biggest destabilizing and terror
00:55:28.780
supporting country in the region that has its tentacles or had its tentacles in lebanon gaza
00:55:35.940
yemen iraq syria and that was trying to develop nuclear weapons iran is now being right-sized and
00:55:43.140
put in a tight spot maybe mr rhodes has sympathy for the iranian regime i do not i do not wish to be
00:55:51.400
to to see what happens if that regime is allowed to develop weapons because i know that they are a
00:55:57.660
genocidal and absolutely crazy regime that might do the most horrible things and of course mr rhodes
00:56:04.740
probably doesn't assess it like that because he lives far away and he isn't israeli but for us
00:56:10.660
israelis it is as tangible and as existential as it gets so i think contrary i think just one thing
00:56:19.900
you know president trump in his first presidency he gave the bri the brave and correct order to take
00:56:26.960
out qasem soleimani the very important iranian general at the time there was an entire chorus
00:56:32.680
around the world american media blaming president trump for escalating opening world war three and
00:56:38.860
all matter of other fabricated nonsense none of that happened and what president trump did what he ordered
00:56:45.920
and what u.s troops did was to take out the most important mastermind of iranian expansionism and i think
00:56:53.280
that today that is also important because had he been around custom soleimani i'm pretty sure that
00:56:59.400
the iranians would have fared better since october 7 and we would have had a more difficult situation
00:57:05.080
he is not around and i give credit to president trump for doing that and i give credit to president trump
00:57:10.640
for supporting israel and for working together with israel of course keeping america's interest first and
00:57:17.880
israel's interest second that's what the u.s president should be doing but the interest here
00:57:22.860
they are aligning and i think we're in a very good situation i hope good things will come i hope
00:57:28.780
prosperity i hope freedom for the iranian people is just around the corner and i hope prosperity for
00:57:35.200
all the people in the middle east is around the corner it can happen because the iranian regime was
00:57:41.020
standing in between that progress and now there's a different time for the iranian regime it would be
00:57:48.740
amazing if we saw the uh regime actually topple and the people were free um because the the persian
00:57:54.900
people are wonderful let me ask you um you know we're seeing we're seeing riots on our streets uh we're
00:58:01.680
seeing it in europe and it always has either a communist socialist anarchist and an islamicist uh uh tint
00:58:09.840
to them um the palestinian protests are growing everywhere and i i just look at this and say this
00:58:16.620
is our future for the entire western world um should we be concerned that this activity now the green
00:58:25.260
lights will be given to let's say the 8 000 terrorists that we know are here in america let alone all over
00:58:31.520
europe yeah i think that the west europe to a more severe extent and the u.s to a certain extent in
00:58:42.980
certain states and certain cities mostly along the coasts unless inside the country perhaps
00:58:49.140
barring chicago and the uh a few areas of the great lakes but by and large there's a significant
00:58:57.640
threat to the western based system of democracy civil liberties law and order and it is being
00:59:07.280
implemented on the ground and carried and pushed forward by many rogue elements one of them being
00:59:14.540
islamists that are espousing terrorist ideologies and that deep down do not agree with the judeo-christian
00:59:22.680
values that are today governing the world and led by free democracies and they are trying to import
00:59:30.340
their failed system of governance and their outlook on life which they brought from the middle east and
00:59:38.600
from other places and enforce that on free democratic societies and they're abusing the system the
00:59:45.640
liberties the freedoms and the rights that democracies like the u.s and in europe avail people
00:59:51.720
they're marching on the streets under the guise of free speech they are advocating violence they are
00:59:58.180
trying to undermine the social fabric of society they're espousing terrorism they are glorifying
01:00:04.060
violence and of course anti-semitism is always also in that bag of of negative things and i think it is
01:00:11.760
high time that there's a serious debate in the u.s and in the west i think the situation in europe is far
01:00:19.320
worse than it is in the u.s and i think americans can look at the streets of london and paris and heed
01:00:25.780
warning and say if we want to reach a situation where the streets are dominated by islamists and where
01:00:31.960
an ordinary white christian or jew or someone who isn't a muslim extremist cannot walk the streets safely
01:00:39.840
in the cities of their home in the streets of their home country then we better look at what's happening
01:00:45.520
in europe and take action before now to be clear i am not branding all muslims as terror supporters
01:00:53.280
there are many great americans who are of muslim heritage who are loyal american citizens who are
01:01:00.360
not espousing terrorism but those who do those who seek to undermine western democracy those who seek
01:01:07.260
to undermine law and order and a free and right based society and to import dark world views from
01:01:15.140
the middle east based on all kinds of extremist ideologies they should be met with a firm response
01:01:22.440
and in most cases they are not met with firm responses and then they expand lieutenant colonel i know
01:01:29.420
you have to run you've got a busy day um thank you for spending time is this is this over now or is
01:01:35.160
there more to come no no that is this is not even the end of the beginning okay um lieutenant colonel
01:01:42.180
thank you so much appreciate it god bless you bet bye-bye all right let me tell you about our sponsor
01:01:47.440
this half hour it's relief factor that you know there comes a point in time where you just start
01:01:50.740
you start measuring time differently not in years or holidays but in distances can i make it all the way
01:01:56.660
there without you know uh causing all kinds of pain uh yesterday i had to go in i'm getting some
01:02:03.660
stuff done with my back i'm you know i could take the elevator or i could walk and i looked at the
01:02:08.420
stairs and i normally pick the stairs and i'm like i'm gonna risk it and i walked up the stairs i
01:02:14.880
regretted it as soon as i got to the top of the stairs but um that's the way you measure things you
01:02:19.380
know and i'm telling you it doesn't have to be that way relief factor is a daily 100 drug-free
01:02:24.560
supplement that fights inflammation the root cause of so many forms of our pain and our disease
01:02:30.120
little by little uh it it will feel like you're getting your pieces back now for me it is knocked
01:02:36.180
out it's knocked out some major pain for me uh with my back it helps my back um but i have to tell you i
01:02:43.200
i i swear by this stuff and it doesn't work for everybody about 70 of the people that take it feel
01:02:49.400
the same way i do for 1995 get it for three weeks just try it for three weeks you're going to feel the
01:02:55.700
difference within three weeks if you don't you're going to be part of that 30 it doesn't work
01:02:58.960
and yeah you'll be out 19 bucks but boy if it works if you're part of the 70 you will thank me
01:03:05.000
forever relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF that's 1-800-4-RELIEF
01:03:13.900
jason you know the lieutenant colonel what did you get from that
01:03:28.300
i think that uh he's just so great lieutenant colonel is just so great and i think he's really
01:03:36.060
really outlining the the full threat that they are leading the charge for the entire world to stop and
01:03:42.100
it is significant and i think that um something that i really wish we could have gotten your last
01:03:46.660
question about in the streets and everything that's going to happen the actual counter-attack
01:03:52.320
has not really happened yet and i think that's going to be clearly on the iranian regime once they feel
01:03:57.480
like they're about to lose it i kept getting yelled at in my ear he's got to go he's got to go he's got
01:04:02.260
to go so i couldn't answer yeah i just did my best but but that is the point where i'm really
01:04:06.700
concerned about what happens when hezbollah is activated in south america what happens when the
01:04:12.060
proxies are directed to shut down the straits of hormuz and the other what happens then i mean
01:04:17.500
75 a 10 surgeon oil now 10 just on based on what happened last night if they start to do
01:04:24.520
anything with oil fields shutting down the straits of our moves any of that stuff you could see
01:04:30.140
overnight 150 200 barrel uh per barrel oil if that happens we remember thank you joe biden we don't
01:04:40.560
have any strategic oil reserve we have very what do we have half is it up to half now it's half so
01:04:46.300
that's better than it was thank you donald trump um but you know that that doesn't last very long
01:04:52.040
and remember in 2008 the collapse came because the world is based on 120 barrel oil that's the cap
01:05:02.360
you can't go past 120 a barrel uh for very long because then the economies and all of the metrics
01:05:10.520
just start falling apart we were at 130 i think for a month and that is what triggered the that was the
01:05:19.240
last straw that broke the camel's back we're talking about 150 200 a barrel gal a barrel oil
01:05:26.200
that is um that won't be good for the entire world i mean we're really facing you know and i
01:05:34.180
anybody who's saying you know well i can't believe that you are for what israel did i'm not gonna i'm
01:05:40.640
not here to tell israel what to do and what they can't do okay i i think that's their country and they
01:05:45.900
can do what they need to do i think we're stupid for not recognizing the riots on the street those
01:05:54.100
are communist socialist and islamicist movements that's what that is that's what this whole
01:06:00.520
palestinian thing is this is a movement to capture our children and get them to view us as the aggressor
01:06:08.560
to be able to have our own children say america is a monster and they're close to doing that already
01:06:14.980
um and your kids they will either bow to islam and sharia law or they will be executed and if you
01:06:22.500
don't recognize this you're living in a dream world look at what's happening in europe just look at that
01:06:30.240
i mean it's you know when when the swedish uh are having a hard time when they can't keep control of
01:06:38.580
their own streets now this is their prime minister said we have lost control of our own streets when
01:06:45.620
you have women as long as you're white and as long as you're not muslim they can rape you and they do
01:06:53.960
and nothing happens we're foolish to think that that's going to go on for very long before one of
01:07:02.260
us has to break one of us is either going to stand up and say enough is enough and hopefully it won't be
01:07:07.240
too late by then you know or they'll just stand up and say enough of you guys what are you even doing
01:07:12.420
here anymore it's what's happening and uh you know you've you you don't like what's happening here
01:07:18.380
well that's fine i don't want you to fight and i don't want to fight israel's war um but i will tell
01:07:24.480
you you know the real problem is everything is on the edge we've made so many bad choices for so long
01:07:30.620
it's all on the edge and then on top of it you have you have islamists you have uh communists and
01:07:37.980
socialists and anarchists and then you have big business and big government with a wef that they
01:07:44.060
all want to change the world i mean it's just honestly it's just the people of the world the
01:07:50.660
average person in the world that doesn't want to change it everybody else does not have your
01:07:55.620
motivation prepare this is glenn beck all right so there are a few words in the english language that
01:08:04.780
unleash uh feelings you know there's probably not one that unleashes more dread than this one
01:08:10.480
move you gotta move suddenly your head is full of paperwork appraisals closing costs worries about
01:08:16.680
timing showing how are you going to pack the house are you going to get out all of this stuff
01:08:20.680
everything in your life becomes a question mark and it sounds expensive and even if
01:08:25.560
you're excited there's still that knot in your stomach because you know
01:08:28.680
oh so much can go wrong this is why i built real estate agents real estate agents i trust
01:08:34.700
what if you walk in through that process with confidence because you had an agent who you knew
01:08:40.800
knew the market returned your phone calls who cared about the outcome more than their commission
01:08:47.100
would it make things better we have hand selected uh agents all across the country based on
01:08:54.340
performance integrity and a history of actually getting things done for people like you so whether
01:08:59.400
you're buying selling upsizing downsizing just trying to get unstuck let us connect you with somebody who
01:09:04.900
knows what they're doing real estate agents i trust dot com that's real estate agents i trust dot com
01:09:12.400
get every story we talk about every day as part of the free email newsletter at glennbeck.com
01:09:57.100
you know as i'm looking at everything that is going on uh by the way it's friday hi thanks so
01:10:04.060
much for listening um with when you look at everything that is going on the the choice in
01:10:08.860
front of us is so clear and it is so easy to make it's just which do you choose life or death
01:10:14.660
life or death are you part of a culture of death or a culture of life are you fighting for life in all
01:10:19.980
of its forms or are you fighting for death in all of its forms uh and it's really clear to see which side
01:10:26.800
is which it really is um you know isn't that what uh isn't that what god said when the israelites
01:10:37.080
now what lakayim means lakayim to life to life lakayim i think it is choose life i don't know
01:10:43.760
everything i learned about hebrew i learned from fiddler on the roof but that's a different story
01:10:47.280
um not exactly true but almost true true in this case anyway um you have to choose life
01:10:56.360
and the left is becoming more and more about death in every way today the more enlightened left
01:11:04.620
i mean the more enlightened they become the more left the doctrine the more barbaric it actually
01:11:10.940
becomes we've seen it on the streets in la right look at that that's not about life that's about
01:11:17.800
destruction of everything according to their doctrine the left believes that the only you know that
01:11:24.600
that not doing a thing to police uh illegal immigration is the only solution to compassionate
01:11:34.280
you know service you know you just can't do anything about it because that that way we're
01:11:40.160
compassionate and we're we're loving and we're handling the situation okay and you can't do anything
01:11:45.740
about it and if not well we're going to prove how compassionate and loving we are through mob violence
01:11:51.820
and arson and theft and assaulting federal officers it doesn't make any sense let alone standing up for
01:11:58.300
the people who have who have horribly raped 14 year old children i don't understand how are you doing
01:12:07.300
that how is that choosing life at all now in new york things are even worse in the legislature
01:12:15.620
where the people's representatives have passed a bill to make it easier for people to kill themselves
01:12:22.500
the u.s surgeon general's office calls loneliness and isolation in america an epidemic how many people
01:12:30.720
do you know that have either killed themselves or have had their children almost kill themselves
01:12:37.480
i don't think i can count them on two hands my mother uh killed herself when i was a child and
01:12:45.460
she was the only one i had ever heard of doing that except in tv shows and movies now it's an epidemic
01:12:53.400
yet new york is choosing to declare open season on anybody vulnerable this bill is assisted suicide
01:13:02.980
and it is dressed up as always as compassion but it's not mercy it is absolute madness it's now
01:13:12.800
sitting on the governor's desk of new york kathy hochel it's waiting for her signature to make it law
01:13:17.760
but this bill is an absolute nightmare um it requires no waiting period after the first
01:13:24.820
after the person's first request to die so in other words hey i've got some bad news for you
01:13:30.300
uh you have cancer uh and it's probably untreatable i just i just want to die okay no waiting period
01:13:40.200
nurse can we bring that in no waiting period somebody who has a terminal diagnosis one day can be handed
01:13:50.280
the lethal cocktail the very next day unlike unlike other states that are at least nodding to some health
01:13:57.680
evaluations you know no new york is just gonna check make sure that's an informed decision you know
01:14:03.280
what you're saying right you want to kill yourself yeah i do okay good you're informed i mean when people
01:14:09.360
are staring death and depression in the face despair and depression clouds everything you don't make a
01:14:17.480
decision when you're like that as somebody who has had major depression when i was young
01:14:23.200
you it is insane it's insanity and as somebody who is older who has i mean this week my back has been
01:14:32.480
so bad i i went to my doctor and i said i can't live this way i just i can't walk i could barely breathe i
01:14:40.000
just can't live this way now i didn't mean i want to kill myself but i understand how people can get there
01:14:48.060
i get that but is that who we are is that as a society is that who we are
01:14:53.880
i mean it's crazy you know since when is the left concerned about patients being informed
01:15:02.120
they don't want a woman who's considering an abortion to see an ultrasound of their baby i don't know is
01:15:07.940
that informed consent one guy he's a bioethicist from washington state he's tracked these laws now for
01:15:15.220
40 years he says new york bill the bill in new york is probably the worst law of its kind in the u.s
01:15:21.760
what a surprise their last governor was killing people in nursing homes
01:15:26.020
the language that is in this bill the lies are disgusting they call prescribing poison
01:15:35.120
a quote medical practice and the poison is medication now listen to this it also prohibits
01:15:45.000
referring to this practice as suicide hmm in the worst part of this bill and remember we're talking
01:15:55.340
about killing people this shows you how they know they're lying even when you write out the death
01:16:03.660
certificate of a person who dies through assisted suicide you are only allowed to list the person's
01:16:11.240
underlying illness or condition as the official cause of death you cannot say it had anything to
01:16:17.220
do with suicide suicide or any medical aid in dying so if i have cancer and i'm not going to treat it i just
01:16:25.440
want to die if i have depression i just want to die i would die of depression or cancer you know what
01:16:32.740
that does that hides the actual stats it hides the crime you won't be able to track how bad is this
01:16:41.260
getting they're trying to memory hole suicide making doctors lie about it no helping doctors lie but i'm
01:16:50.220
sorry but if you're a doctor and you are going along with this and you are not standing up where is your
01:16:55.660
hypocritical first do no harm are you kidding me abortion you excuse that now we're going to get it on the
01:17:05.260
other side you excuse that and you don't even have to you don't even have to medically evaluate the person
01:17:15.420
new york state has been you know developing this culture of death since 1970 three years before
01:17:25.180
roe versus wade they were doing it more than half a century of pro-choice messaging
01:17:30.260
it greased the slippery slope and we are now at the bottom of it if according to the left the
01:17:36.340
compassionate thing toward a pregnant woman is to allow her to kill her unborn child that's just a
01:17:43.680
short jump to assisted suicide being considered the compassionate way out for the terminally ill or
01:17:49.300
the mentally ill after all it's my body my choice right dr lydia dugate dugale she's from columbia
01:17:58.740
presbyterian hospital new york city she wrote an op-ed last month and she said this is not compassionate
01:18:04.960
policy instead of investing in the infrastructure of support for the lonely the depressed the disabled
01:18:10.360
and the poor we just offer them a prescription for death and we call it autonomy but it's nothing
01:18:16.580
but abandonment the art of dying well cannot be severed from the art of living well and that includes
01:18:23.520
caring for one another especially when it's hard when it's inconvenient or costly it's not enough to
01:18:30.300
offer the the dying control we have to offer them dignity and not by affirming their despair but by
01:18:36.540
affirming their worth life is worth it she went on and said even when they're suffering even when they
01:18:45.620
are vulnerable even when they are in worldly terms a burden
01:18:49.740
to anyone who has common sense left in new york and california i mean you seem to be outnumbered by
01:19:00.100
barbarians it must be an awfully hopeless feeling i'm glad we can be there for so many of you every day
01:19:05.540
just don't give up don't give up you are not without hope as long as you're still in the fight
01:19:11.920
so you live in new york call your governor's office urge her to veto this evil bill of death
01:19:21.080
choose life do not give up on trying to salvage a culture of life because once you do we're completely
01:19:30.580
done choose life back in just a second every day someone you never meet puts on a uniform and
01:19:38.020
signs an unwritten contract that says i'm going to risk my life for people i don't even know and
01:19:41.700
sometimes they give everything a father lost in combat a mom taken in the line of duty a first
01:19:47.440
responder ran into the fire and never came back out they kept their promise and now we have a chance
01:19:54.200
to keep ours yeah it's unwritten the tunnel to towers foundation pays off mortgages for families
01:20:00.020
of fallen heroes so they don't lose their home on top of losing the breadwinner the the father the
01:20:06.580
mother they also build smart homes for severely wounded veterans so they can live with dignity and
01:20:12.140
independence this is choosing life this is action on a level that goes well beyond simply raising
01:20:19.080
awareness although they do that too this is bills paid keys handed over real lives changed and it
01:20:26.480
only happens because of people like you america's heroes have given so much and together we can say
01:20:31.520
thank you in a lasting and meaningful way please show your support now donate eleven dollars a month
01:20:37.100
will you tunnel to towers at t2t.org that's t the number two t dot org
01:20:44.180
freedom's like a wild horse if you don't grab the reins every once in a while you're liable to catch a
01:20:54.800
hoof to the face and trust me that ain't pleasant beck will be right back after this
01:21:14.180
well uh in 2025 finding coffee that matches your traditional american values can feel
01:21:20.040
increasingly challenging i mean i you know look i just don't want someone who's opposing everything
01:21:25.740
i stand for uh when i have a drink in the morning is that too much to ask a lot of popular coffee brands
01:21:31.440
today are kind of promoting these ideals that do not align with what matters to you that's where
01:21:36.860

welcome to the glennbeck program glenn you mentioned friday the governor of new york uh who's
01:23:00.520
just fabulous fantastic um can i ask you a question about the uh upcoming mayoral election
01:23:05.440
in new york though um i'm curious to get what what your opinion is on this because
01:23:12.260
right now you have andrew cuomo is also.com killer uh who is running for mayor uh he is for the first
01:23:20.000
time i had a poll come out where he is not leading uh he is losing uh in this one poll at least
01:23:26.680
to a guy who is purely a socialist like to the point he's doing commercials that he's going to
01:23:33.360
start new york city owned grocery stores throughout the city that is one of his proposals rent control
01:23:40.840
everywhere like every terrible socialist policy you can ever imagine we obviously know andrew cuomo
01:23:45.520
very very corrupt and uh you know depending on your view of the matter might be legally a murderer
01:23:52.340
so uh my question for you is if you were in in new york city yeah and and had to cast a vote
01:24:00.100
would you select a the socialist b andrew cuomo c jumping off the direct center of the george
01:24:08.680
washington bridge which which way would you go it's a very because you just made your position very
01:24:13.880
clear on suicide tough choice could i call a friend or could i call u-haul yeah uh no you can
01:24:22.320
not move i can't call u-haul i can't move you can drive a u-haul off of the top of the george
01:24:26.960
washington bridge if you'd rather do it that way but you cannot move i think i'd have to vote for the
01:24:31.660
killer i think i'd have to vote for the killer really uh yeah i think i would it is fascinating
01:24:36.600
just hope that i never get sick or old right don't get still in office uh yeah i have relatives
01:24:42.460
who are facing uh this decision and talking to them they are truly conflicted they think andrew cuomo
01:24:49.880
is one of the worst people that has ever existed in all of human history don't they move seriously
01:24:55.240
why don't they move i don't know i wish that i mean i i that's certainly what i have family that
01:25:00.300
lives in in washington state and they just won't do it and i have friends who live in washington state
01:25:04.940
and i'm like what are you waiting for what are you waiting for the confiscation of your wealth the
01:25:09.620
confiscation of your house for for you to get that thing so bad that you'll never be able to sell
01:25:15.520
your property there what uh what are you waiting for i don't know the torches at your house at night
01:25:20.700
they're not gonna be like cute little 1960s tiki torches by the pool gang it's bad but i mean i
01:25:27.940
just i just i don't know we've got to strengthen our communities that are strong you know uh my little
01:25:36.040
community here i just love my little community uh and uh boy i do everything i could to strengthen
01:25:42.660
this community because the people know each other they like each other they have the same you know
01:25:46.760
basic values we don't all go to the same church or anything else but we have the same values we all
01:25:51.680
believe in the same generally the same kind of america even though we don't all vote the same
01:25:56.280
uh you know and nobody's gonna cross into our town and go you know what i'm gonna set your town on fire
01:26:02.040
and loot it because everyone will show up with their hay balers and throw those guys in the back of the
01:26:08.020
hay baler i swear to you i just thought it would tie them up in a little square i didn't have any idea that it
01:26:12.500
would do that to them i mean we've got to strengthen ourselves because and you got to get out before
01:26:19.540
this because they are going to do it they are going to do it they you know if new york elects the
01:26:27.000
socialist cloward and piven is coming new york city will be an absolute hell hole hell hole california
01:26:35.140
you're i mean look at what you're looking at look at the difference between california
01:26:40.000
10 years ago and now look at it five years ago and now i mean you thought it was bad when trump
01:26:48.660
was in his first term right look at it now what do you think it's going to be in another five years
01:26:56.060
everything is speeding up you gotta get out of these places gotta get out so can we count that as an
01:27:02.240
andrew cuomo endorsement from you or does that yeah yeah can you put that i mean if i if if that's
01:27:07.720
the only choice i have are those two i think i go with the killer that's an incredible statement yeah
01:27:13.940
it really is but i mean you know what communists will do jeez communists will give that i mean they
01:27:20.260
will there'll be no chance to turn in that thing around you give that thing four years under a real
01:27:25.760
communist how you gotta turn that thing around that's fascinating i mean he said when asked he
01:27:30.040
uh he was asked who is his favorite mayor of new york and he said de blasio i mean can you imagine
01:27:36.160
uttering that word after that question it's it's incomprehensible who said that the socialist
01:27:42.440
candidate uh endorsed by aoc uh he said bill de blasio was his favorite u.s uh or his favorite
01:27:49.420
new york city mayor which again he left office with what an 18 approval rating something like that
01:27:54.700

01:31:32.640
I started reading some comments about a post I made on Israel.
01:31:38.340
Because I was up writing and rewriting and just venting.
01:31:42.520
You know, 3 o'clock in the morning, I'm just still venting.
01:31:45.680
And I want to share maybe a little toned-down version
01:31:55.420
and how they feel about me and Israel and maybe you too.
01:32:07.560
Someone got up before the sun, fed the herd, repaired the fence,
01:32:11.360
did a hundred other things while you and I slept in bed.
01:32:15.420
At least that's the story, you know, that they tell us all the time.
01:32:29.640
And when the work starts to happen, I'm like, you know what?
01:32:37.380
Everything that is sold by Good Ranchers comes from America.
01:32:43.200
Everything they sell is raised right here in America
01:32:45.280
by people who still believe in doing the job well.
01:32:49.500
All their beef, chicken, pork, and seafood delivered right to your door
01:32:54.460
I know from personal experience because I get my meat from Good Ranchers.
01:32:58.880
This is the way to put dollars back into American hands,
01:33:02.280
the ones that built this country and still feed it.
01:33:04.700

01:33:42.180
And some of these are from actual friends or people like...
01:33:46.180
I don't think they do based on what they're saying about me.
01:34:12.500
and some people just haven't been able to let that go.
01:34:24.720
Christians are the chosen people of God, Glenn.
01:34:28.120
You've been a neocon as long as you've been an alcoholic.
01:34:35.100
Ask the people you're praying for what they think about Jesus.
01:35:02.000
You know, blessing Israel does not mean bombing their enemies.
01:35:07.080
and I hate to bring you back to the word of God.
