00:05:26.940See their preparedness special offer right now.
00:05:29.600prepare with glenn.com let me go to jason uh who is uh with us today he is our chief researcher he
00:05:35.680has been working feverishly uh on this special which we'll get to here in uh just a minute um
00:05:41.940but uh jason i want you to give me an update on everything that happened with iran this weekend
00:05:47.400friday when we were broadcasting we told you a major hit was coming because that's what the
00:05:52.180president said um and this is something that he talked about i think in 1980 82 something like
00:05:59.160that he was out uh pushing his book uh the art of the deal and he somehow or another got talking
00:06:07.400about iran and what he would do and what he said is i would take that island i'd take that island
00:06:13.060they they hit us we take that island and that island it he's talking about we took it this
00:06:17.800weekend uh and it is where 80 or 90 percent of all iranian oil have to pass through this island
00:06:25.260And so we have greatly diminished their ability to do anything for money because they are running on oil money.
00:06:35.280Jason, give me an update on this, would you?
00:06:37.240Yeah, so when we broke on Friday, the biggest developments we were looking at was the Israeli drones that were starting to hit checkpoints within Tehran.
00:06:45.260So we were looking at the next stage of the fight being them taking the battle straight to the oppressors, the security forces that were going to push back on demonstrators as they were, you know, eventually when they start to come out in the streets and be the ground troops, as the crown prince told you.
00:07:00.680That's the biggest developments we were looking at then.
00:07:02.900But then there was a huge strike on Karg Island, what you were just talking about.
00:07:06.920So roughly 90 percent of all the oil that's taken out of Iran, the mainland Iran, is taken to Karg Island.
00:07:14.480It's an island off the coast in northwestern Iran, and all that oil gets taken to Karg Island, and then it gets put on tankers and then sent down through the Straits of Hormuz.
00:07:26.160So if you cripple Karg Island, you essentially cripple the entire country.
00:07:32.780So it's amazing to me that there are 90 military targets on Karg Island, and they hit them.
00:11:21.480The civilian coalition that needs to come out and also that coalition that has to be there before the collapse, not after.
00:11:34.680Have you seen any signs of any coalition beginning?
00:11:38.660So the crown prince has made a couple of statements signaling to the coalition of the people inside
00:11:45.020Iran that it's not quite time for them to mobilize, but that is coming. So he's telling
00:11:51.460them to prepare. The problem is also on the weekend, the regime did the same thing. They
00:11:55.840called for all their supporters to get out into the streets. And their supporters are still
00:12:00.840significant. You're going to have thousands of people. So both sides are appearing like they
00:12:06.020are getting ready for that phase so that's coming soon so why would they ask their supporters out
00:12:12.040on the streets so it wasn't a clear kill you know what i mean it wasn't you wouldn't know it would
00:12:18.620be more confusing if you were going to defend those people you wouldn't know necessarily who
00:12:22.940you were defending a couple of reasons for one it helps to suppress the anti-regime coalition that's
00:12:30.440one uh for fear through fear and intimidation but for two it's human shields uh you know in the
00:12:36.680symbol in the typical hamas uh tactics it's human shields so that we can't now that you have israeli
00:12:43.180drones targeting checkpoints they're going to be less likely to do that if there's about a thousand
00:12:48.640supporters that are around those checkpoints so it's it's both it's both factors how do you see
00:12:55.940this ending today as it stands today and i said you have a thousand dollars you have to put it
00:13:02.640down on the table how would you bet i would bet closer to a 12 month campaign but regime would
00:13:12.880fall but i think it's going to take a lot longer but yeah i would say i would okay better my money
00:13:18.460would be safer on a 6 to 12 month campaign that's what my money would be on so it's we still have
00:13:23.820quite a ways i believe well that's what they're counting on yeah yeah that's what they're counting
00:13:28.960on i mean you know uh it's clear if if i were if i were going against the united states and i
00:13:37.420and i have war game this and i won't share a lot of it with you on the air because i'm not going
00:13:41.560to help anybody out but um uh i've war game this how would i defeat the united states of america
00:13:47.900And I'll leave it at this. Step one is I would have terror cells here, and I would have clear objectives and targets. And I could tell you in 10 minutes targets that would cripple us, that are easy, that would cripple us in three days. Three days, we would be crippled.
00:14:10.960um and so there's number one and they they have that the other is keep the regime alive long
00:14:19.920enough until donald trump is either out of office or until the american people just say i can't we're
00:14:26.880not doing this anymore i can't do this anymore we are sending them such a clear message that we are
00:14:33.320so divided on this that that gives them hope all they you know they are having those conversations
00:14:40.500these guys are exactly the same every time they get into war it's it's the vietnam story over and
00:14:47.480over and over again all we have to do is just hold on they will give up and go home
00:14:53.560those two things that's their strategy agree or disagree 100 agree and the iranians have
00:15:01.640been preparing for this ever since 1979 they they knew that what they were all about and how they
00:15:08.400did it, was going to someday have what's happening right now happen. So they've been preparing
00:15:14.800everything from their command control structure, how to keep the IRGC going, even if their
00:15:21.040leadership has been decapitated and splintered. It's designed to continue to run indefinitely.
00:15:26.700And it's designed not just for military victory, or not really for military victory, but to prolong
00:15:32.540And almost like a mass guerrilla style conflict so that whoever is attacking them, I think they always assumed it would be us and Israel, exactly what's happening, is politically at home to make it so politically damaging that we would have to stop.
00:15:52.080So that's what the Straits of Hormuz are about.
00:15:53.700Not only make it politically damaging for the sitting president of the United States with his domestic audience, but also the entire world eventually will say, this is going to take 6 to 12 months.
00:16:04.880We cannot have 150, however many dollars a barrel it is, we cannot have that go for a year.
00:16:37.200We're saying that we will insure the ships.
00:16:39.660Other than fear, what is driving this?
00:16:43.320yeah it i mean it's pretty much just all fear right insurance companies and they are being
00:16:51.160successful like every it doesn't make a whole lot of news i don't know why but every once in a while
00:16:55.000every there was just a just a few days ago last week i saw that there was like three or four
00:16:58.740tankers were engulfed in flames and they they were successfully hitting a few of them so they are
00:17:03.520being successful in in certain ways but oil is a global commodity so anytime that you even there's
00:17:09.040the fear of 20% of the world's supply going offline, you're going to see these crazy prices.
00:17:17.540I think today it's around like $95 a barrel. So it's still not spiking exactly what they thought
00:17:23.480it would be. But Iran really hasn't started mining the Strait of Hormuz. That's part of
00:17:30.200the reason why we attacked Karg is so they don't start doing that in mass. But yeah, it might take,
00:17:38.620And this is the scary part, especially if you're worried about American ground troops.
00:17:42.480It might take some kind of large presence on the ground eventually to thwart this continuing to go forward.
00:17:51.700I don't want to see that, but that will be something the president will be juggling, especially as he starts losing political support around the world and at home.
00:18:01.720What is the one thing that I can do to stop this now?
00:18:06.500And it would be something like ground troops and Carrick.
00:18:09.180I will tell you, the president is going to have an uphill battle.
00:18:15.500And in many ways, because of what the right is doing to itself, we're just shooting ourselves in the foot over and over and over again.
00:18:23.140If I hear one more podcaster yapping about how much they hate another podcaster, I can't take it anymore.
00:18:33.120Trust the American people to figure this out.
00:18:35.240The American people are not stupid. And if the conservative audience is this stupid that you need somebody like me to beat the drum every day about how this person is just a traitor, if that's what it's going to take to win, then we're not going to win. We're not going to win.
00:18:57.280You're smart enough to know, you're smart enough to listen to people and say, that is, that's wrong. That's wrong. I don't agree with that. I think that's, you know, that's not going to, that's not helpful. That's not helpful. Or, you know, this is absolutely true.
00:19:15.000I will tell you that there are people being trapped more and more into this weird new, they say that it's right-wing, but it's not.
00:19:25.440It's left-wing ideology, and people are being discouraged.
00:19:32.500And it's time for us just to gather around principles and what we need to happen.
00:19:39.120You know, let's just focus on the things that we have to have happen in our country to save the
00:19:46.000republic. I don't care about the personalities. I really don't, and neither should you. You
00:19:51.420shouldn't care about me or any other personality you listen to. You should care about the truth.
00:19:57.120What is the truth? And who is encouraging us to do more so we can win and save the republic?
00:20:05.040so let me try to encourage you a bit on uh what happened with the save act it's it's going to be
00:20:12.640introduced tomorrow what does this mean i'll tell you about that in 60 seconds first for years i've

00:21:46.740number four relief 10 seconds station id
00:21:55.480so i got a note from mike lee over the weekend and he said hey some good news
00:22:05.540it's moving forward the you know save act and uh then i read what is happening and i'm like okay
00:22:12.420baby steps maybe but let me let me just give you the update this is from cleta mitchell she said
00:22:18.680john thune has announced he is putting the save america act on the floor and he is not immediately
00:22:23.980moving for cloture, which would instantly kill the bill. That was the original plan until John
00:22:29.120Thune ran into a buzzsaw of the American people going berserk about that idea. Listen, you made
00:22:35.540a huge difference. Do not discount this. I mean, we haven't won, but we are taking a baby step
00:22:41.820towards winning, and it's all because of you, okay? Also, she said the determination of real
00:22:47.880Donald Trump to change the plan, that's what's going to happen this week. He's going to move
00:22:51.820tomorrow to consider the House message on Save America Act. The Senate will start the
00:22:57.580consideration of the bill, series of procedural motions, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It will
00:23:03.100be on the floor for consideration. None will require 60 votes, but this is the beginning of
00:23:10.760it. It is not what we were looking for. It's not a talking filibuster, but it is an ongoing debate
00:23:16.880for consideration keep on top of it we will and let you know all right uh our sponsor here is
00:23:24.320rough greens there's something dog owners learn pretty quickly your dog doesn't care you know
00:23:28.920what's on the bag they don't care about the brand name the marketing you know which company spent
00:23:33.160the most on that commercial but it it it uh what means something to them is what's in the bowl
00:23:40.840a i think they they care about taste i know uno did he really he wouldn't eat his food
00:23:46.540But also, I think they reject some of the food because while they're hungry and it fills them up, it's not giving them the things they need because it has to have long shelf life.
00:23:56.780It has to be able to sit on a shelf for up to two years, according to the federal government.
00:24:01.840That's why it doesn't have all of the live nutrients and ingredients that it really needs.
00:24:07.260Rough Greens is a nutritional supplement that you put right on whatever you're feeding your dog right now, and it helps add back the important vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and other nutrients that processed food can be missing.
00:24:20.060So, your dog still gets the food they're used to, but with all the nutrition they need.
00:24:24.740Don't change your dog food, just add Rough Greens.
00:26:53.560But without question, this has been ramped up because of the war in the Middle East that has brought in, gosh, some 14 countries have been attacked in one way or another.
00:27:02.200this war and this conflict is without question spreading right now.
00:27:07.980Okay. So in some ways he's right. First of all, notice he mentions the Department of Justice and
00:27:14.340not DHS. Why aren't you mentioning DHS doing their job? How important it is for DHS to do
00:27:19.860their job? Because people like him are stopping all funding for DHS. It's not going to change
00:27:26.340ICE. ICE is fully funded. So what are you doing besides putting the homeland in jeopardy?
00:27:31.560I'm not a fan of DHS. I'm not a fan of the Patriot Act, etc., etc., but it is in place, and that is the system. I'd like to change that, and I would like to reimagine things on how we do security, but right now, that's the way we do internal security.
00:27:52.780You can't just turn that off and expect everything to be fine.
00:28:34.440Do you think that they were just waiting until Donald Trump did something?
00:28:38.700They may have been waiting for the call, but they have been preparing for this for a very long, very, very long time.
00:28:46.880Let me give you an Islamic scholar here, warning the West, and this is part of our special, not this particular thing, but you will understand this on our special this Thursday.
00:29:00.780Listen to this imam and what he is talking about when he's warning the West and America. Listen.
00:29:06.500Islam is very clear. The Quran is very clear. The Hadith is very clear. All humankind must submit under Islam, period.
00:29:16.880So this is about worldwide domination.
00:29:21.240It's about getting rid of the Jews and the Christians, but it's also about taking over the world.
00:29:45.700This has to be understood. This is a global jihad, and they will take everyone. I heard somebody say this, well, Christians want to convert the whole world. Not by sword, not by tax, not through jihad, but yes, would we like to see everybody realize that Jesus Christ is the Savior, and he can change your life and make sense of your life?
00:30:15.700Yes, I would love for the world to come across that, but not by force.
00:30:21.160If the Christians said today, you know what, it's time we start jailing people who aren't Christians, I would fight against those Christians, and I think most of us would.
00:30:32.380That's the difference between the two, because again, here's another Islamic scholar on how humanity must submit to Islam.
00:30:43.440So when we look around and say, what's the silver lining to all of this, that every day
00:30:51.520we hear this terrible news of one of our leaders getting killed, why is the other side not
00:31:32.040Every time you kill a leader, for instance, the caliphate was going to be through ISIS, remember?
00:31:38.360And for a while there, everybody in the Islamist world were all getting behind ISIS.
00:31:45.620Before that, they were all getting behind Al-Qaeda.
00:31:48.640But they believe that Allah is blessing.
00:31:53.060And so if they start to expand, if they start to win, that is a signal to Islamists that Allah is behind this.
00:32:01.240As soon as they start to lose, as soon as they start to be decapitated, that's Allah saying they weren't pure enough.
00:32:08.360So as you start to take these organizations out, they diminish. That doesn't wipe it out. I mean, again, I said last week, Islamism, political Islam is a cancer, and it must be entirely removed because it will kill the Western civilization body, if you will.
00:32:29.680it will eat and it's in every organ we have right now and we don't see it because we're not geared
00:32:36.940this way we're not geared to think this way and you need to because this is a very well laid out
00:32:44.400blueprint and plan which we will lay out for you on thursday but the one thing if you don't know
00:32:49.820what the red green alliance is think of my chalkboard from 2008 where i said the marxist
00:32:57.360and the communists and the islamists will work together to overthrow israel destabilize europe
00:33:04.300and america and eventually overthrow the western world that's what the red green alliance is this
00:33:11.600is actually a cut i think from the special this may have may have even met on the edit room floor
00:33:17.240this is yasmin mohammed on mamdami and the ayatollah from 1979 listen to this when the
00:33:26.600Islamists took power, they murdered, imprisoned, disappeared all of the useful idiots that had
00:33:34.480helped them get to power because they weren't useful anymore. And what's really interesting
00:33:39.040now is you'll find Iranian people on social media telling us over and over and over again
00:33:45.120that the way Mamdani speaks in New York City is exactly the way the Ayatollah was speaking
00:34:18.680Green then organizes the mosques and all of the Muslims, and they combine their efforts and begin to work together.
00:34:28.380That's why this strange alliance between Marxists that are against religion or against God suddenly can find themselves in bed with a totalitarian theocratic state because they've made a deal in blood.
00:34:49.680They have made a deal with the devil, and each of them think they're going to kill the other one in the end.
00:34:56.120We'll use them. And this is what the Marxist communist thinks. We're going to use them and then we'll just keep them under control. You're not going to keep them under control. I would put my money on those who actually will die for God every single time. Marxist, you're rookies. You have no idea what you're dealing with.
00:35:13.820you should read history because in 1979 when they did the red green alliance in iran that it did
00:35:20.700overturn the government of iran and it gave them this theocratic state and then they executed all
00:35:27.560of the marxist that's what's going to happen to you again we'll lay all of this out and i i will
00:35:34.740tell you we got a note from let me see if i can find it here we got a note from youtube about the
00:35:42.880special this weekend just the commercial for the special okay um and uh it says after conducting
00:35:52.160additional reviews of your video we've determined it's not suitable for all advertisers so as a
00:35:58.700result it will be uh run limited and no ads okay that's the commercial wait until they see the
00:36:09.420special we know to and we want it to have a wide enough audience that can everybody can see it
00:36:16.900but to help pay for it we have to put commercials in it we do not on the torch but we have to put
00:36:22.800commercials in it for youtube but commercials are the least of our concern the concern is when we
00:36:29.800put this if it's even going to be allowed on youtube once they see the special it is going
00:36:36.300going to have to be so highly edited that you will not see the truth. I've done this before.
00:36:44.200I did. Remember, my first special I ever did was on this alliance, and I did it on CNN.
00:36:51.780So I know how to say what is true, what is not. I know how to make sure that we are buttoned up
00:37:01.300and we're only telling you verifiable facts, and this is full of verifiable facts.
00:37:08.040CNN had to eventually give in because every time they tried to stop me, I'd say,
00:37:16.100wait a minute, but this fact, this fact, this fact, are you telling me those aren't facts?
00:37:20.940Well, no, we're not saying that. Well, but how are you presenting it? Had to go through all of that.
00:37:25.960I know how to do it so it is accurate. That's not going to be the only problem with places like
00:37:34.280YouTube. We invite you to join us now, support this effort, and make sure you're watching on
00:37:40.280Thursday night. This is one of the reasons I started the torch. I started the torch for two
00:37:48.000reasons. One, and you're just beginning to see just little pieces of this. It'll be a year before
00:37:52.580you really understand this. Education. Make sure that we can disrupt education and teach our youth
00:37:59.800the principles and the truth about our country and Western civilization. And two, to do specials
00:38:07.800the way I want to do them. We have spent four months on this special. We have three teams of
00:48:30.220He knows this stuff inside and out because he has been studying it forever.
00:48:35.460And he has been a very reliable source for over a decade.
00:48:39.700for me and for us. Jason, our chief researcher, I asked him if you could put a dream team together
00:48:47.980of researchers for this special, who would be on it? And the first name that came out was Ryan
00:48:52.940Morrow. And so we've partnered with Ryan to be able to get his researchers to work on this special
00:49:00.280for four months. We have been working on this special for you. I'm going to give you a sneak
00:49:05.680peak. Ryan joins us along with Jason here in just a second to talk about the decades-long plans
00:49:12.380to infiltrate, subvert, and defeat the United States of America. We'll get into that here in
00:49:18.740just a second. First, the Berna launcher. People don't spend a lot of times thinking about how far
00:49:28.300away can you stop a threat because in a dangerous situation, distance does matter. The closer
00:49:33.560somebody gets the fewer options you have and the faster things can escalate into something you
00:49:37.880never wanted in the first place. That's one of the reasons the Berna launcher has become so popular.
00:49:43.000Berna is a non-lethal self-defense tool that launches powerful pepper and kinetic projectiles
00:49:51.880allowing you to stop a threat from a safe distance without having to use lethal force.
00:49:57.640i want to tell you a true story and a sad story my daughter i was out to see her on
00:50:04.600friday and she lives on her own now in a different state and uh she was out taking
00:50:11.880a friend to the hospital at about midnight and her friend had a mono or something and had to
00:50:18.280get to the hospital and so she goes over to the house picks her up and somebody starts to follow
00:50:24.520her and her and her friends start to freak out and they change lanes on the freeway they get off
00:50:30.360an exit he gets off an exit they blow through a red light he blows through a red light well
00:50:35.120they're smart enough to drive right to a police station um and uh he pulls up right next to them
00:50:42.580the windows are smoked so dark she couldn't see who it was but he pulls up right next to her
00:50:50.420And she couldn't get a license plate number, but today is the day we're getting the license plate number from the police department because they have videos in front of the police department.
00:51:01.040But she told me this and she said, Dad, I know I told you before I was carrying it and I didn't.
00:51:09.200And I've got it with me now and I will always carry with me my Berna launcher.
00:53:40.820people just haven't caught up to it yet. Ryan, thanks for joining us. Would you agree with that
00:53:46.400statement? Oh, absolutely. I think that people, I think people recognize that there's a global
00:53:52.000conflict, but as for it's actually being a world war, I don't think people understand the gravity
00:53:58.200of it or that it's happening or how expansive it is because all of our adversaries are talking
00:54:04.320about defeating us the exact same way. And it's through using the model that we're going to be
00:54:10.240exposing on on the torch through this special um so it's the islamists and then everyone else is
00:54:16.200taking their cues from them because they've been so darn successful so ryan you and i i can't
00:54:22.180remember the first time we met but you and i we you helped me on stuff when i was at fox did you
00:54:27.660not i mean we've known each other for a very long time yes i think i was just communicating with you
00:54:33.540by email back then and then more subsequently short shortly after like 2014 or something like
00:54:38.540Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, you know, I did not know what I was talking about when I said the Islamists, the communists, the Marxists will all work together, you know, to destabilize the Middle East, Israel, Europe, and then eventually the United States.
00:54:55.340I didn't realize that was called the Red-Green Alliance at the time. When did we know about the Red-Green Alliance, really, really know about it? Has that been a long-term thing?
00:55:06.840we should have known about it during the cold war i mean the example that you have to mention
00:55:12.960is the islamic revolution in iran being such a key example so the information was there but people
00:55:19.180weren't putting it together and realizing how solidified of a threat it was um until like
00:55:26.040really your show on fox is really the one that made it normalized for people to start talking
00:55:29.960about it um saying that there's this red green alliance and actually something you said that
00:55:34.600you were criticized for that you may have even forgotten was you mentioned that they're also
00:55:40.380anarchists. So it's a red-green alliance, but there's also an anarchist element that's
00:55:44.500increasingly prominent. And so when we talk about the Islamist threat, there's this interesting
00:55:50.600fusion happening where they not only ally with anarchists and the communists, but I would say
00:55:56.400it's no longer a horseshoe theory where they just get closer together. I call it the oval theory
00:56:01.980now that there's been an actual fusion into a single entity people said at the time when i
00:56:09.520said that they said anarchists don't work with anyone communists and marxists and socialists
00:56:15.580won't work with a religious theocracy so you don't know what you're talking about
00:56:20.740why do they all work together the part of it is just the enemy of my enemy is my friend
00:56:29.520But I think the affection has grown since then.
00:56:36.540They both they all believe in essentially the anarchist goal of destroying the authority in the United States.
00:56:42.840And then from the ashes, they'll be able to rebuild what the land should be modeled on in their mind, because they know so much better than the founding fathers.
00:56:52.240And that's the kind of commonality there.
00:56:54.340But I must say, from monitoring their internal chats for so many years, it's more than just, oh, we have a common enemy.
00:57:02.120There's very often brotherly affection, and they put their differences off to the side because they each believe it's so inevitable that their ideology will prevail once they defeat the West that it's not really worth arguing about.
00:57:14.620You know, the Islamists say, well, when America is defeated, you're going to see the glory of Allah, and you will join us.
00:57:21.560You'll either become a Muslim or you'll accept that we're right, so we don't need to fight about it.
00:57:26.860And then the communists and anarchists will say, well, the reason the Islamists are so radicalized is because the Jews are doing it, the Zionists are doing it to them.
00:57:35.180And so you remove the Western and Zionist influence.
00:57:38.700Well, they won't be radical anymore, and then we can all get together and enjoy paradise on earth as they see it.
00:57:44.020And do they not see what happened? Explain for anybody who doesn't know what happened in 1979 in Iran.
00:57:52.260That's an exceptionally aggressive example. So what they would say is what happened in 1979 is that you had the basically the far left of Iran, which was the communists and the Marxists teaming up with the Islamists.
00:58:03.740And then there were a lot of people who genuinely want to move the country in a more liberal direction and weren't part of either of them.
00:58:10.460But those were the two main camps, was the Marxists and the Islamists.
00:58:15.060And so we call the Islamic Revolution now, but during then it was just a revolution against the Shah.
00:58:21.360And so he gets overthrown and you have a joint red-green alliance come to power.
00:58:28.200And very quickly, Ayatollah Khomeini and the theocrats then slaughtered and destroyed the communists and then sidelined them.
00:58:37.460But even in the inner circles of on the Islamist end, they'll say, oh, well, you know, we'll necessarily have to be that aggressive next time around.
00:58:45.620They would find some way of saying, well, that example doesn't apply.
00:58:50.600OK, I want to address something that I'm hearing a lot that people say, you know, we had four terrorist attacks since Operation Epic Fury began.
00:59:02.860the austin bar shooting the new york press uh protest bombing the michigan synagogue uh and
00:59:09.260old dominion university three of those happened last week um and people are saying this wouldn't
00:59:15.440have happened if it wasn't for donald trump and operation epic fury well it may not have happened
00:59:21.520last week but i want to take a quick break and then i want you to address um is this a reaction
00:59:29.580to war if we just would have left this alone would this have not happened um and we'll continue our
00:59:37.320conversation here in just a second by the way our special is on thursday night 8 p.m only
00:59:42.220at glennbeck.com slash torch make sure you get it all right as i've been telling you i you know i
00:59:50.260don't think we're getting close to world war three we're already living world war three it doesn't
00:59:55.620mean it looks like the first two world wars, but it might someday. They're not massive armies
01:00:00.480marching across European fields, and thank God for that. But look at the world right now. You see
01:00:06.280the global powers all testing each other, proxy wars, cyber warfare, terror attacks, regional
01:00:12.380conflicts that could spread like wildfire if the wrong domino falls. The level of tension in the
01:00:20.260world right now is the kind of tension that historically leads to world-shaping conflict.
01:00:25.020And one of the places feeling that pressure most is in Israel,
01:00:28.940a nation surrounded by enemies, constantly facing security threats,
01:00:32.940and yet filled with families who just want to live their lives,
01:00:35.760raise their children, and build a future.
01:00:37.740That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists.
01:00:45.720I don't care what you think about Israel.
01:00:47.420I don't care if you like Benjamin Netanyahu.
01:00:49.560I don't care if you like the war or don't like the war.
01:00:51.640Those are all reasonable things to like or not like.
01:00:57.880Jews, as a group, have a right to exist, a right to live.
01:01:06.720That's what it means to stand by the Jewish people.
01:01:10.940I'm not talking about their homeland or anything else, their war, anything else, their policies.
01:03:31.620If you look at the justification, very often it comes down to, well, I've committed a lot of sin, I really want to get into paradise, and there's only one guaranteed way I can cleanse my sins so that Allah will love me enough to let me in, and that's to kill people.
01:03:46.340And send them to hell so that I can get in.
01:03:49.880I mean, that's the mindset that you're dealing with on top of the apocalyptic ideology and everything else.
01:03:55.060And so one of the interesting contrasts I think people will see due to the special is that you have this crazed ideology, you have these selfish impulses that are just unbelievable that they even exist.
01:04:07.660But then you look at the plans that they've had for decades, the level of detail and how rational they kind of are, almost like a business manager would put together for a long-term investment.
01:04:22.000And that's a contrast. I think most people have trouble accepting that that can all exist in within one single threat.
01:04:29.940And it's not just Muslim Brotherhood. So if someone's out there saying, well, I've heard about the Muslim Brotherhood because I've been a fan of the Glenn Beck program for a long time.
01:04:39.120I think what you'll see is that ideologically for Islamism as a whole, there are phased plans, and then groups within that pool like Muslim Brotherhood then have their own more tailored phased plans, and so that's how they all can coordinate without even necessarily having to talk with each other.
01:04:58.040And, you know, you and Frank Gaffney, me and others, you know, back in 2000, you know, eight, nine, six, whenever we started, we were warning about this stealth jihad and that it was entering all of our institutions.
01:05:15.760and we we now have i mean obama just called me all kinds of names but we now have the documents
01:05:22.360you have the documents that show the fbi we're saying exactly the same thing that we were
01:05:28.280i mean smoking gun of smoking guns is what we're going to be releasing um because because i have
01:05:35.940obtained declassified fbi documents and other u.s government documents uh just as you described
01:05:42.260almost taking word for word the type of stuff that yourself and frank gaffney myself were saying and
01:05:47.700without giving anything away um you have to relate to muslim brotherhood and related groups
01:05:53.700um but what you see is that there is an entire network doing this long before 9-11 calling
01:05:57.920people an islamophobe before even people even knew that term yep and then stuff was going on
01:06:03.280that we can now prove on 9-11 and in the weeks and months following it that is going to blow
01:06:10.260people's minds. You won't believe it. It'll change
01:15:44.640Number two, human dignity before ideology.
01:15:48.620That means you don't ever turn people into abstractions.
01:15:52.340Whether they're Jews or Arabs or immigrants or protesters or soldiers or political opponents, talk radio hosts, whoever it is, we have to start looking at people as individuals.
01:29:02.020We'll show you how to buy or sell a home, get your home sold for the right amount of money, and get you into the house for the right amount of money as well.
01:29:09.640The name says it all, realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:29:17.620Armed man wearing tactical gear walked into a Texas elementary school last Tuesday through an improperly closed door and asked about the security presence on campus.
01:29:29.760kyle chris 39 hey uh jason is jason in there no kyle chris isn't that an interesting name
01:29:41.08039 years old also known as muhi mohaned najame was arrested at his home i'm sure i said that
01:29:52.080properly too was arrested at his home wednesday night and faces a felony charge for unlawfully
01:29:58.160carrying a weapon in a prohibited place after the incident at Zawink Elementary School.
01:30:05.620Chris, originally from Baghdad, Iraq, became a naturalized citizen on August 24th, 2022.
01:30:16.140That's when he changed his name to Kyle Chris.
01:30:20.160i said chris chris kyle was a an amazing sharpshooter was he not sarah uh from texas
01:30:34.760and somebody who was over in iraq and killed a lot of people in iraq and was under threat
01:30:41.160all the time from people in iraq he comes over and doesn't name himself chris kyle he names
01:30:48.260himself kyle chris came from baghdad he was arrested at his home located minutes from the
01:30:56.040school uh he allegedly told authorities he was a security guard he was actually unemployed
01:31:03.660what happened was he got caught in the they call it a kill box it's a little security zone
01:31:12.360you can't get in through one doors until the other doors behind you are closed and then you
01:31:18.040have to have the security buzz you one way or another. And he got in because a parent was
01:31:26.420walking out and he grabbed the door before it clicked shut. He got into the kill box. He was
01:31:32.780wearing a uniform. He was wearing his gun on his hip. And he said, I'm just here to check on
01:31:39.780security. Well, the school was smart enough, you know, they're in Texas. So they were smart enough
01:31:45.620to go, really? Why don't you stay there? We're going to have our armed security come out and
01:31:52.900meet you. And so while he's in the box, the armed security said, who are you exactly? What exactly
01:31:58.980are you looking for? Knew it didn't make sense. They called police. He fled. And then the police
01:32:05.940showed up at his house. They found him. I'm wondering how this one's going to turn out.
01:32:11.320Watch yourself, America. You should be on different footing. Watch yourself. We are in troubled times. And there's a lot of people that would like to dismiss all of the warning signs.
01:32:24.280You know the guy who was accused of attacking the synagogue in Michigan last week?
01:34:06.420This is the hometown of Ayman Mohamed Ghazili.
01:34:11.860The suspect, who on Thursday, attacked the synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, ramming his car into the building and opening fire.
01:34:22.880The FBI says the 41-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after he was confronted by the synagogue's security officers.
01:34:31.560Ghazili had lived in the United States for more than a decade
01:34:35.760But he kept strong ties with his relatives
01:34:38.680Including his brother, who was a commander in Hezbollah
01:34:43.860Four members of his family were killed in Israeli airstrikes
01:44:27.160We witnessed one of the greatest political comebacks of all time.
01:44:30.980We won the presidency. We won the Senate. We won the House. We won the demographics
01:44:35.100nobody thought were possible. We won in places nobody
01:44:38.680thought were winnable at all and then somehow the most influential voices on our side decided
01:44:46.980that the most important thing to do with that historic mandate was to tear each other apart
01:44:52.780right now as you read this the democrats are doing exactly what they always do after they lose
01:44:59.360they're not bitching or moaning at each other they're not pointing fingers on podcasts and
01:45:04.080they're definitely not busy demoralizing their base they're organizing you see all the paid
01:45:09.320protesters right you think they aren't good at organizing think again on the other hand our
01:45:17.260podcast crowd is in full-blown public meltdown that would make real housewife producers look
01:45:24.260like total bitches zero people in the conservative base have asked for this not one person
01:45:33.020i can't thank you enough matt for writing this not a single person not any of us have ever talked
01:45:44.440to in real life somebody who is sitting there going you know what we really need to do right
01:45:49.880now is watch my favorite podcasters go to war with each other nobody's thinking that they're
01:45:55.740thinking about the mortgage their kids their country they want to win and they want results
01:46:02.380they want the people with the biggest platforms and the loudest voices to wake up every single
01:46:07.780morning with their guns drawn and all the guns to be pointed at exactly the same target but instead
01:46:13.540we're getting this crap and everyone every single person on the right is exhausted
01:46:19.660this is obvious if you spend five minutes outside of a podcast studio talking to actual conservatives
01:46:26.320You know this to be true. We on the right, the real people are tired, but we're not tired of fighting. We're tired of watching the fight go in the wrong direction. We want the border secured. We want our grocery bill to come down. We want our kids to get a real education. We want Democrats out of power at every level, school board, state legislator, Congress, all of it. That's the assignment. That's always been the assignment.
01:46:52.980That's what we care about most of all.
01:46:56.360But instead, what we have are grown-up adults with eight-figure audiences spending their airtime on personal beef that does absolutely nothing for a single voter anywhere.
01:47:12.080Every minute spent on intra-podcast drama is a minute not spending on helping flip a house seat.
01:47:19.000every episode built around attacking somebody on the same team is an episode that could have
01:47:25.180explained to a persuadable voter why they should never vote Democrat again this opportunity cost
01:47:32.800is staggering and nobody is willing just to say it we are sick of it and it's insanely dangerous
01:47:44.160you know who doesn't do this crap the democratic party they're ruthless about one thing when it's
01:47:52.300time to win they fall in line they swallow their pride they campaign with people they can't stand
01:47:56.980and they win they're not confused about who the enemy is that you're right more on this in a minute
01:48:14.160Let me tell you about one of the strangest crimes that exists today. It's called being you.
01:48:20.700Except you're not the one being you. Somebody else is being you. They're using your name,
01:48:25.420your credit, your social security number. They're opening accounts, applying for loans,
01:48:29.620maybe even committing crimes. And as far as the paperwork is concerned, it all looks like you.
01:48:35.400It's one of the weirdest things about the modern world. Somebody can live an entire financial life
01:48:40.520under your identity while you're just going about your day completely unaware that any of this is
01:48:45.660happening and many people don't find out until a bill arrives for something they never bought
01:48:49.540or a collection agency calls for a debt that they never created or worse yet somebody comes
01:48:54.520knocking on your door to repossess your house this is why lifelock exists lifelock monitors
01:49:02.000millions of data points every single second looking for signs that somebody may be trying
01:51:12.040thoughtful on what we are doing you know when when the country goes to war
01:51:21.640You know, your job is not to become blind with patriotism or blind with resentment. You know, a journalist can never become a stenographer for the state. He is not the laundry service for propaganda from foreign governments either.
01:51:40.280is a very important role, and journalism has been so sullied.
01:52:05.440When it comes to war, your job becomes really, really hard. Your job is to tell the truth with enough courage to resist your own federal government and enough discipline to resist the enemy's invitation to become a useful idiot.
01:52:53.540in a war i support you 100 this is wrong we shouldn't be doing i support your right to say
01:53:00.460that i may disagree with you but i you have the right to say it as a journalist you also have a
01:53:05.540right to say it if you believe the public case to go into war is weak um and you don't believe it
01:53:12.220you have every right and duty to investigate okay if you believe one of our allies is pushing
01:53:23.100hardest for war uh and it has its own personal interests you have every right to expose them
01:53:31.680every right i mean i mean well you just have every right to expose them i think you're a little
01:53:39.840foolish to think that we don't push people our allies into wars you know and say hey no this
01:53:46.620is really good for you it's not necessarily great for them it's good for us i mean that's what a
01:53:51.200country does that's what every country does but anyway but you have a right to investigate that
01:53:55.760and to expose it you have that right if you believe um something's wrong that's journalism
01:54:03.580but you have to back it up with facts not just saying i know i know i know this to be true
01:54:14.340How do you know that to be true? When it comes to things that are shaping policy and shaping perception, especially when it is shaping perception away from your own country, even though you think that it's doing good for your country, and it might in the end if you're right, but you can't go with unverified claims.
01:54:40.140especially if they are from hostile sources you know you you have you have the right
01:54:48.900to go and meet with the other side okay you have a right to go meet with them you have a right to
01:54:59.360go do an interview with them you have a right to broadcast that you know but you you have to
01:55:05.380alert people. I can't believe I'm saying this. CNN actually did the right thing. CNN had
01:55:10.040sources in Iran. And before any time that reporter came on, they said, we want you to know
01:55:18.060that our reporter in Iran is only able to be there at the specific grace of the Iranian
01:55:26.380government. In other words, we're not vouching for anything. They're watching everything that
01:55:32.680he says okay so take it for what it's worth that's that's what they were saying and that's
01:55:38.660what you have to do if you want to have credibility you have to have that credibility and say those
01:55:44.940things you know um there are things that you can't do
01:55:53.940but one thing that you can do is have all these conversations with people overseas
01:56:03.340but then to come on and say and they're spying on me if you are having conversation this is
01:56:09.920the patriot act i don't like the patriot act i don't want the patriot act but the patriot act
01:56:15.360is current law i'd like it to be not current law i'd like to do everything we can to get rid of
01:56:21.260the Patriot Act, but it is current law. If you are talking to somebody that is from the country
01:56:29.740or somebody, an individual that has been deemed a foreign terrorist organization, that would be

02:03:29.460all right just writing to uh gad sad um uh gad made a comment earlier um on x i wrote
02:03:51.720Islamism is revolutionary apocalyptic ideology that is behind the Iranian regime and it is
02:04:01.460absolutely cancer. He wrote and he said, that is Islam and there is no distinction between the two.
02:04:13.700And while I see his point, there is reformation that can happen. That would be like saying
02:04:20.400There's no difference between, you know, somebody who is reading the Old Testament like, you know, I've got to have blood sacrifices and people who read the Old Testament the way it is.
02:04:30.320Now, there has not been a reformation period of Islam, but there are people pushing for that.
02:05:16.100But can we stop calling each other names and saying, this person is evil and they're a traitor, and start having real conversations?
02:05:26.240Because the questions that are being asked about this war, about our relationship with Israel, about the war with Islam, all of these things,
02:05:37.660there are valid questions that should be asked and answered, but you're not going to get it with bomb throwing.
02:05:46.100and I just maybe it's my age showing here but I am just so tired of the circus I just if we're
02:05:55.440going to solve it we are dealing with life and death issues for the republic can we have real
02:06:01.100conversations about it can we actually bring really smart people on I was going to say all
02:06:08.300sides but I don't need all I don't need the far left and I got it I know their point of view
02:06:13.920people who would agree with, hey, the republic is worth saving, and it's made a lot of mistakes,
02:06:20.780but it's worth saving. Can we get those people in a room and start having conversations
02:06:25.840and say, let's work out our difference without name-calling and straw men and all of that stuff?
02:06:31.280Because if you want the republic to go on, you believe in the founding fathers and the Bill of
02:06:37.820rights. I believe in that. Okay, so that's the big principle that can hold us together. Can we at
02:06:47.060least have a debate, a civilized debate on the other things, so we can at least learn from one
02:06:53.400another? I want to understand how you're thinking, and I don't claim to have the answer. I mean,
02:06:59.080what Gad said, there's no distinction between the two. I've had that thought myself, but then I know
02:07:03.920people who are reformers and i believe they're good people that believe in the bill of rights
02:07:10.060they do not want political islam so how do we solve that that's a conversation worth having
02:07:16.120and we will have it on this program and gad has already said i'm out this week but
02:07:21.920i will come on the program so we are going to have those kinds of conversations because they
