00:00:30.000
Here's something uncomfortable. You don't always realize that you're missing things. You just notice
00:00:34.480
you're working a little harder. You lean in a little bit more during conversations or you ask
00:00:38.580
people, can you say that again? You then pretend you caught it the second time even though you didn't.
00:00:44.340
By the end of a long dinner or family gathering, you're worn out not from talking but from straining
00:00:49.200
just to keep up. This is what gradual hearing loss feels like for a lot of people. You're still
00:00:54.660
present, you're still engaged, but everything takes more effort than it used to. What holds
00:00:59.640
people back from doing something about it isn't just pride. It is honestly the hassle,
00:01:03.880
the appointments, the tests, the follow-ups, the price tags that make hearing feel like a major
00:01:08.520
medical product. Audion Hearing is trying to make that first step a lot simpler. Their Atom series
00:01:14.280
over-the-counter hearing aids are designed to be approachable, easy to use, without prescriptions,
00:01:18.600
no complication, no fittings. You just get started. You put them in, charge them, and then you're hearing
00:01:24.600
better than you have in a long time and you hear what you've been missing. Don't wait. Go to
00:01:28.840

00:01:55.240
big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast.
00:02:00.880
This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing,

Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.
00:02:25.240
Spark the flame. Pass it on. Crank the game. Glenn Beck is on. Glenn Beck is on.
00:02:47.340
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:03:15.380
of the world. And we're going to try to do that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about
00:03:18.920
American financing. Sometimes your finances can feel like a tire with a slow leak. You know,
00:03:24.020
nothing explodes, but little by little things start getting rougher and rougher and you're
00:03:27.700
still moving forward, but every mile takes a little more effort than it should. That's why
00:03:31.780
high interest debt is bad. That's because that's what it does. It doesn't always hit all at once.
00:03:37.280
It just sits there letting air out of your financial momentum month after month until
00:03:40.880
you look up one day and you realize I'm spending too much energy, you know, just trying to just
00:03:45.920
trying to make it and keep the cost down, but the cost keeps spiraling out of control.
00:03:50.860
Look, everybody is almost in this same position right now. And you just need somebody to help
00:03:56.380
you. This is not uncommon. I want you to call American financing at American financing.net
00:04:01.780
800-906-2440. They'll look at your entire financial picture and they'll find out if there's anything
00:04:07.840
that you can do or can be done to get you out from underneath those high interest rate
00:04:13.380
debts, because that's the real problem here. American financing.net, American financing.net
00:04:19.820

00:04:37.840
So last night I looked at my wife, she said, are you okay? And I said, uh, yeah, I just have to go
00:04:46.380
back into the jaws of hell again tomorrow. And she said, what do you mean? I said, you know, I've,
00:04:53.440
I always have this, I leave on Friday and I have a day or so where I pretty much don't think of the
00:05:00.880
news, but I always, it's, it runs 24 hours a day. So I always have to kind of pay attention. But then
00:05:06.100
on Friday after or Saturday, sorry, Sunday afternoon, I've really got to get back in and
00:05:10.420
see what I've missed and everything else. And with everything that is going on in the world,
00:05:14.780
uh, it's just, it's very daunting and more so because I don't feel like anybody.
00:05:22.080
I've been watching the news since the war began. What a pile of crap that is. How do you get anything
0.98
00:05:29.760
out of that? How do you get anything useful? And then we have all of these problems internally
00:05:36.080
with our own side, just fracturing. And everybody is playing this game of, you know, who's the biggest
00:05:43.840
traitor in the world? Who's, who's for this war? Who's against this war? You're a traitor. No,
00:05:49.240
you're a traitor. Oh my God. So let me try to do something different because I think there's
1.00
00:05:59.540
a question that I know I'm asking myself. I don't have the answers. I'm searching just
00:06:06.000
like you are. But my job requires me to come up with an answer. So let me give it a shot. First
00:06:21.820
of all, you're not crazy. If you're asking, wait a minute, wait a minute. I thought we were done
00:06:26.080
with all these wars. I thought America first meant no more endless wars in the Middle East,
00:06:31.480
no more, no more disasters. Why are we involved with Iran now? Boots on the ground. Did I hear
1.00
00:06:37.380
the president say boots on the ground? Does that mean body bags are coming home? Gas prices are now
00:06:42.360
exploding. Is this a 20 year war that no one can explain again? You remember how it started in Iraq?
0.69
00:06:49.640
So do I. I've been watching the news and it is absolutely worthless because it's just about politics,
00:06:58.440
but this is principle driven. What is actually happening? Not which answers is going to make me
00:07:07.300
more popular or a traitor to one side or another. What's actually happening? What does it mean?
00:07:13.780
Because not only do you deserve to understand what is actually happening, you're an American citizen.
00:07:19.740
Listen, you have to understand this. So let me first recognize what you're feeling. 20 years for
00:07:28.520
20 years, the United States did something that we all know now was a huge mistake. I don't care what
00:07:35.600
side of the aisle you were on. I mean, maybe unless you're Lindsey Graham, we all know that was a
00:07:40.740
mistake. And what was the mistake? Was it going? Was it trying to punish Afghanistan for 9-11? What
0.56
00:07:58.740
was it? Here was the mistake. We tried to replace governments. We didn't go after the bad guys and
00:08:04.840
then just knock them out. We went into an Iraq. We went into Iraq. We went into Afghanistan and we
00:08:11.640
nation built. Okay. And the theory was really, really simple. Remove the dictator, build democracy
00:08:17.920
because everybody loves democracy and that will stabilize the region, but it doesn't work that way.
00:08:23.900
And toppling a regime is super easy, but building a stable country afterwards is almost impossible,
00:08:33.160
especially if you're a bunch of guys from a think tank in the West and you're going to a tribal state
00:08:39.980
in Afghanistan. And that lesson cost us trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives. So when
00:08:50.320
you hear the word Iran and war, every alarm bell in your head goes off. And frankly, it should
1.00
00:08:56.140
because Iraq was bad. Afghanistan was bad. We should never, ever do that again. And especially
1.00
00:09:05.200
do it again and expect different results. That's the definition of insanity.
00:09:11.720
So what is this? Is this not Iraq or Afghanistan again? Is there anything different that we're trying?
00:09:19.560
What is it? What's the strategy? Let me try to explain this. The strategy that appears to be
00:09:29.400
unfolding right now is not regime change. It is something else entirely. It's called regime
00:09:37.200
containment. And those two things are night and day different. Regime change means this. You drop bombs,
00:09:46.840
then you send troops in, you invade, you occupy, you overthrow the government, and then you try to
00:09:53.240
play that, put a new government in and you rebuild the country. That's Iraq. That's Afghanistan.
0.58
00:10:00.900
And the American people know Donald Trump knows. No, we're not doing that ever again. Well, wait a
00:10:07.000
minute. I know I said that. You said that he said that. Why are we doing this then? What are we doing?
00:10:11.900
Do you remember about, it must've been about 2004, maybe 2003, we got into Iraq and it starts going
0.96
00:10:21.060
poorly. And we're like, why didn't we just go in and kill the bad guys and then leave? Why didn't we
00:10:27.960
just go in and kill Osama bin Laden and the people that were responsible for it, teach them a lesson,
1.00
00:10:34.300
hit them hard, kill them, kill them quickly, and then get the hell out. Remember that?
1.00
00:10:41.000
We didn't do it then because the old thinking is you break it, you fix it. You break it, you own it.
00:10:49.500
Well, that doesn't work. So the new thinking is what if we just break it, contain it, disable it,
00:11:00.380
and go home? What happens if we just go over and kill the bad guys, wipe out their ability to
0.98
00:11:09.260
destroy other things, wipe out their military, and then leave? And that's what's happening.
0.99
00:11:18.180
Containment. Containment is not nation building. Containment is different. Containment. We went
00:11:25.140
into Venezuela. Do you remember thinking, wait a minute, we just let the vice president who's just
00:11:30.320
as bad as the other president, Maduro, we let her just stay in. We're keeping the regime. What?
0.93
00:11:35.760
Yes, that's called containment. And I guarantee you, here's how that conversation went. Guess who
00:11:41.920
the next president is? You are. And you know what? You don't do what we need you to do on these
00:11:48.720
particular issues. Get the hell out of bed with China and Russia. You're not to let anyone, any
0.99
00:11:55.480
terrorist organizations like Hezbollah into Venezuela to train. You're getting rid of all of that stuff,
1.00
00:12:03.120
and you're stomping out your drug trade. And you know what? Congratulations, Mrs. President.
00:12:08.960
You'll be president of Venezuela. You don't do it. It's a red line for us. You're next.
00:12:16.100
That's containment. Now we've let her do it. And guess what happened this weekend? She was singing
00:12:22.720
the praises of the United States. Isn't that weird? You break the regime's ability to threaten the world.
00:12:30.860
You destroy the military capability. You target weapons programs. You stop nuclear development.
00:12:38.920
But you do not invade the country. You don't occupy it. There's no boots on the grounds.
00:12:44.500
You don't try to rebuild it. You let the people inside the country decide their own future,
00:12:49.520
even if it's a future you don't really love. That is a very different doctrine.
00:12:55.580
And we've used it before. We've used it before and it's successful. It's called the former Soviet
1.00
00:13:02.940
Union. We didn't invade Moscow. We contained it until the regime collapsed under its own weight.
00:13:12.240
Boots on the ground? None. Now, Trump has said this weekend, in a very specific way, he said,
00:13:20.920
yes, there will be boots on the ground. Wait, wait, what? Boots on the ground? What does that mean
00:13:27.660
to the average person? Boots on the ground? That means guys with guns go in and they're fighting
00:13:33.600
in the streets and they're trying to, what? I don't even know what. What did we do in Afghanistan?
00:13:39.620
Nation build. No, no boots on the ground. But you didn't listen or the media didn't listen. Or if they did,
00:13:47.160
they kept this from you because they're only about fear. And by the way, I want you to know,
00:13:54.460
you should be afraid of this. This is war. It's not just war. We are both now engaged in a holy war.
00:14:04.960
Iran's been engaged in a holy war since 1979. We're the big Satan. They're coming for it. We're going to
1.00
00:14:11.260
kill all the Americans. We're going to kill Israel. We're going to kill all the Jews. We'll wash the
1.00
00:14:17.440
world in blood. Everyone who's against us will burn in the fires of the Islamic fury. That's a
1.00
00:14:23.920
holy war. We just denied it and never engaged. Well, we've engaged and we're in a holy war now.
00:14:32.160
Okay. How do you deal with a holy war? How do you deal with a holy war when there's nuclear
00:14:39.480
material on the ground? You know, when we went in and we bombed, what happened? We bombed. We said,
00:14:46.120
we got all their nuclear facilities. Did we? I don't know. But we said we got them. But you know
00:14:52.940
what we didn't get? What we didn't get is the uranium that's been enriched. Okay.
00:15:01.280
I just want, I want to ask you, I want to ask you before I go any further, I want to ask you this.
00:15:09.960
What would happen if we would have done nothing?
00:15:15.320
To me, here's the most likely thing. We would have bought maybe a year, maybe two, maybe five,
00:15:21.600
maybe, I don't know. We would have bought time. But if we did nothing, Iran would eventually become
1.00
00:15:27.600
a nuclear power. The Middle East becoming a nuclear powder keg overnight because they are
1.00
00:15:34.660
fighting a religious war. These are not you. They're not me. They're not China. They're not
00:15:40.040
Russia. They want to wash the world in blood. They don't care. Why do you think they're hitting
00:15:46.160
all of their neighbors? Because they need a holy war. If they would have gotten nuclear material,
00:15:55.660
then Saudi Arabia needs to go nuclear. Turkey would go nuclear. Egypt would go nuclear.
0.63
00:16:02.300
Israel would respond. Now, suddenly you have the most unstable region in the world with five or six
0.91
00:16:07.740
nuclear powers. All of them, or damn near all of them, bat crap crazy. That's a nightmare.
0.98
00:16:18.040
So stopping that before it happens is not an endless war. You're preventing a larger one.
00:16:24.140
Now, should we have waited longer? I don't know. I don't know. I don't get the briefings. So I don't
00:16:30.080
know. And quite frankly, neither do any of these boobs that are telling you they do know for sure.
0.63
00:16:36.060
None of them do. I'm so sick and tired of people like me telling you they know for sure that this
00:16:42.540
is what's going on. I have no idea what's going on. And I have pretty good access. I have no idea.
00:16:48.860
I have no idea what's right, what's wrong. I have no idea. I have principles. And I'm trying to hold
00:16:55.960
on to my principles. But what do you do when you've bombed a country and you have enriched
0.92
00:17:03.560
weapons-grade uranium? You send scientists in. But you can't send a bunch of nerds in by themselves.
00:17:12.100
Now, where's the enriched uranium? They're not going to do anything with it. They might find it,
00:17:19.160
but you're going to need protection and military-grade aircraft to lift it out.
00:17:26.120
That's what he means by boots on the ground. Scientists with guys with guns and airplanes
00:17:31.520
able to go find that stuff and get it the hell out of the Middle East. Now, again, let me ask you,
0.98
00:17:37.620
what are the other options? If you let somebody else do it, who are you going to let? You know,
00:17:43.860
you're going to trust the people in Europe? Not me. The Middle East? Not me. Do you know how many
00:17:52.920
dirty bombs this could make? Let alone, I think it was, what was it, four nuclear warheads? Do you
00:17:58.880
know how many dirty bombs that could make? By the way, Alexander Dugin is saying that Russia
0.91
00:18:03.740
should provide any nuclear technology to anyone who will fight against the West? Yeah, we live in a
00:18:11.120
very dangerous world today. But here is the most important difference between this moment and the
00:18:19.080
wars Americans remember. There is no American invasion plan. There is no 200,000 troop occupation
00:18:30.760
force. There is no nation-building fantasy. You leave that to the Iranian people. And millions of
1.00
00:18:38.700
them hate the regime that rules them. They've protested. They've risked their lives marching
00:18:44.560
out in the streets. Women have cut their hair in defiance. I mean, it's pretty clear, students
0.74
00:18:49.840
rising up, entire cities pushing back. The real future of Iran, not going to be decided by American
00:18:56.000
soldiers. There's not going to be any parades like there were in France in World War II for us.
00:18:59.640
It's going to be decided by the Iranian people. And the strategy appears designed to avoid crushing
0.82
00:19:06.540
that possibility with an American occupation, because once we're there, it's over.
00:19:13.060
Now, that doesn't mean there aren't risks. There are. Absolutely are.
00:19:18.600
And I'm going to go into that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
00:19:23.000
Our sponsor this half hour is the International Fellowship. Imagine something just for a moment.
00:19:27.600
You're sound asleep when the siren rips through the night. Not a car alarm, not an ambulance, a missile
00:19:33.760
siren. The kind that gives you just enough time, about 40 seconds, to get you, your kids, into a
00:19:41.680
shelter. That's what's happening every night all over the Middle East and in Israel. That sound means
00:19:47.600
drop everything. Parents scoop up their kids, light snap on. They run for the shelters. Even after they
00:19:52.980
reach safety, the night's not over. Some people remain in those shelters all night long. I think
00:19:57.760
I would sleep in one, honestly. This is what families in Israel are living with right now,
0.95
00:20:02.500
sometimes up to 40 times a day. This is where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
00:20:07.640
steps in. They're working on the ground to help provide food, emergency supplies, care for children
00:20:11.600
who are just terrified, support for people who, you know, can't simply run every time the alarm sounds.
00:20:17.720
They're also making sure that bomb shelters and medical centers have the basic resources
00:20:21.540
that people need in moments like these. Please join, join, will you? It's Christians and Jews
00:20:27.960
working together to help. $45 right now. You can rush life-saving essentials to the vulnerable under
00:20:33.800
fire right now in the Middle East, 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ, or go online now to ifcj.org. That's
00:20:57.240
Okay, so there are problems, real risks, and I want to talk to you about oil and everything else
00:21:06.580
that's going on, but let me just start with this. I told you last fall, all world wars, all wars,
00:21:17.560
all wars are started by miscalculation, okay? When you get into a big war, people begin to
00:21:25.760
miscalculate, and I'm sure world wars have other factors involved, but it's usually a miscalculation.
00:21:32.600
What happens if China steps in? Did we miscalculate or have they? Russia escalates,
00:21:40.440
conflict spreads. You probably don't know this because, again, the news media is worthless,
00:21:46.720
but that's why the president asked the Kurds, please don't get involved. They have really good
00:21:52.400
reason to get involved. Can't get the Kurds involved. He's asked the same thing of Azerbaijan.
0.90
00:21:57.880
Azerbaijan. Nobody in the media has told you this that I know of. Did you know that Iran
00:22:02.540
bombed Azerbaijan? Azerbaijanis were like, what the hell have we done? Bombed them. They're on the
0.99
00:22:08.460
border. They struck a school. Everybody was talking about the school we struck. Nobody talked about
00:22:13.540
the school that Iran struck, okay? And Azerbaijani started to mass their troops on the border. They
00:22:22.160
were going to go in, and the president called and said, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Please don't do
00:22:26.600
that. And they didn't. The next several months, weeks, I don't even know. There are three things
00:22:35.560
to watch for. First, does Iran's military start to collapse? It looks like it is, but have we seen
00:22:44.340
mass defections yet? I don't think so. Two, soon, we should start to see protests. Are they going to
00:22:52.460
begin to grow again? And third, does China and Russia stay out of direct involvement? Those two
00:23:00.260
are huge. I would think Russia will for a while, although they said this weekend they're not neutral
00:23:08.240
on this. They're not. They can't be. They get all the drones from Iran, okay? But they can't
0.82
00:23:16.980
be neutral on this, although I think they will be for a while, and that's because of oil, and I'll
00:23:22.900
explain that here in a few minutes. Look, I understand the anxiety. You have every right to
00:23:29.720
be skeptical. You should be. You've been told things over and over again that turn out not to be true,
00:23:34.700
but that doesn't mean panic. It doesn't mean assuming the worst. It means ask careful questions,
00:23:41.460
look at the strategy, look at the historic differences, and understand the lessons that
00:23:47.840
were learned from the last 20 years. All right. Our sponsor is SimpliSafe. Every neighborhood
00:23:55.880
has that moment. Somebody posts in the community group, and suddenly everybody is paying attention,
00:24:01.260
and usually it's like, did somebody else see somebody walking around last night trying
00:24:04.520
door handles? In my neighborhood, somebody broke into a house, very well-fortified house,
00:24:11.100
and stole a whole bunch of stuff. I mean, it took them three days. The guy was gone for three days.
00:24:17.560
The thieves broke in, spent three days inside trying to jackhammer the safe out and got it,
00:24:24.560
and that freaked everybody out. And we had a neighborhood meeting, and I wasn't there, but
00:24:30.820
one of my security guys was there, and somebody said, you know what we should be doing? We should be
00:24:35.260
doing what Beck has done. Have you seen that? That thing's a freaking fortress. Yes, it is. May I suggest
00:24:43.160
build yourself a little fortress? SimpliSafe makes a lot of sense. Designed to protect your home with

00:25:09.120
radio show today. Do not miss out. It's an exciting podcast. It will be live. GlennBeck.com slash Torch.
00:25:15.020
It's Monday. I want to continue our conversation about Iran, and this is kind of the theme of the
00:25:35.220
show today. It's just making sense of the world. I'm going to go take you to New York and what
00:25:38.500
happened in New York this weekend, but it's all tied together, and that's the thing that I think
00:25:42.780
everybody is missing. This is all tied together, and if you listen to today's show, you'll
00:25:49.500
understand. Now, if we're going to do something we've never done before, I'm going to continue the
00:25:55.320
stream for the Insiders. If you belong to the Torch, GlennBeck.com slash Torch. I'm going to continue
00:26:00.460
the stream, and you're going to hear my meeting that we have after the show every day. It's going to be
00:26:07.080
kind of an abbreviated one because I have a podcast to record, and next week we are doing
00:26:13.820
a special on the blueprints of the Islamic Revolution to take down the United States of
00:26:19.980
America and the entire West. There is a blueprint, and I'm going to show it to you. I'll show you
00:26:24.320
exactly what's happening. I'll show you the people involved, everything else, and we have done months
00:26:30.860
of research on this, and there is a guy named Bill Cloud who has written a new book out, and it's
00:26:37.980
really, really, really good. It's all about the spread of Islam and how biblical prophecies have shown
0.96
00:26:47.400
all of this, and what is the Bible saying about all of these things? By the way, did you notice
00:26:53.620
that the name Haman is in Khamenei? Isn't that bizarre? I mean, just interesting, at least,
00:27:04.340
but it seems like there are signs everywhere. We're going to get into the Twelvers, who these
1.00
00:27:08.840
people in Iran actually are. When you say you're in a religious war, uh-huh, you are in a religious war
00:27:13.960
with people and an ideology that must be wiped off the face of the earth. I'm sorry, but if you're a
0.80
00:27:20.700
Twelver, Twelvers are so crazy and dangerous that even the original Ayatollah Khomeini, the one in
1.00
00:27:27.920
1979, said Twelvers cannot be a part of this government. They are too dangerous. Um, that's
1.00
00:27:35.540
who's running Iran right now, Twelvers, and they believe wash the world in blood, create, uh, a global
1.00
00:27:43.780
war to wash the entire world in blood. That's why, and if you heard anybody talk about this, why are
00:27:49.920
they hitting their allies? Why do you think? They're Twelvers. This is, they know this is their
1.00
00:27:55.580
last opportunity to wash the world in blood. They've got to create a global war. That's what
0.52
00:28:02.120
they're going to try to do with their very last breath. That's why they have to be wiped out.
0.99
00:28:05.660
Anyway, right after the show, uh, at noon Eastern time, if you are part of glenbeck.com slash torch,
00:28:13.240
uh, you will, uh, hear this podcast that I'm recording. It will be released later, but we're going to do
00:28:19.260
this live. And the reason why I want you to hear this now, um, is because I think it puts everything
00:28:26.480
into perspective. I think it's really important. Um, and you know, I know this is not, you know,
00:28:33.380
mass mainstream kind of stuff because there's going to be so many people that don't get it.
00:28:39.720
They're not going to see what we're in, but I've told you for a long time, we are in world war three.
00:28:45.100
We are going to fight an Islamic holy war at some point, whether it's us or our children,
0.98
00:28:50.080
it's already begun. Whether it goes hot, I don't know, but it's going to happen.
00:28:58.020
And I do believe at least the 12ers are part of the army of absolute Satan.
1.00
00:29:04.200
Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I am glenbeck.com slash torch. If you're not a member, join us now.
00:29:13.180
It's coming up right after this show only on the torch. Um, all right, let me go over a tweet
00:29:19.500
that Charlie Kirk, um, tweeted in April, 2025. That's going around making the rounds right now.
00:29:24.980
I want to try to give it some perspective. Um, here's what he tweeted. It's going unnoticed
00:29:32.460
because so much other news is happening, but the war drums are beating again in DC. The warmongers
00:29:36.840
worry. This is their last chance to get the white whale. They've been chasing for 30 years and all
00:29:41.000
out regime change war against Iran. The new middle East war would be catastrophic. Our military
00:29:47.020
stockpiles are depleted from three years backing Ukraine. Our effort to reshore manufacturing has
0.99
00:29:52.920
only just begun. It will take years to bear fruit. War would worsen our already immense deficit and
00:29:57.700
national debt. Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined. A war would not be easy
00:30:03.860
and could easily become a calamity. Thanks to president Trump's restraint during his first term,
00:30:09.240
America has a golden opportunity to pull away from the middle East quagmires for good.
1.00
00:30:13.020
We shouldn't throw that opportunity away. So some DC has-beens can feel tough by sending young men to
00:30:18.760
die yet again. So everybody's tweeting this going, Whoa, look, Charlie Kirk knew, you know,
00:30:24.000
before his wife killed him. Um, and, um, yeah, Charlie Kirk, this, this Charlie Kirk did know
00:30:31.260
April, 2025. Where was Charlie Kirk in April, 2025? Most likely joined to the hip with Donald Trump.
00:30:38.560
Okay. They were inseparable. And when Charlie disagreed, he called the white house and talked
00:30:44.800
to president Trump about it. Okay. That's just the way it was. Um, this wasn't written in a vacuum.
00:30:50.940
He's not in his underpants at, you know, club med he's, he's writing this. I can guarantee you this
00:30:57.320
is part of the strategy with Donald Trump at the time. Okay. This is what's happening. Donald Trump
00:31:04.000
is saying we cannot let the Lindsey Graham's of the world get us into another war. Okay. Will he use
00:31:11.380
the Lindsey Graham's? Yeah. He'll use the Lindsey, but not for, what did he say? Regime change and all
00:31:18.140
out war against Iran regime change. That's not what we're doing. We're doing containment. That
0.60
00:31:22.740
is different. Whether it works, that's another story, but it's, it is not regime change and not
00:31:32.860
what we had in Iraq. And I got to tell you, Lindsey Graham and these, what did he call them?
00:31:38.120
DC has-beens. That's exactly what they would have done. They would have gone in for another,
00:31:42.560
they wouldn't have learned anything. They would have gone in exactly the same way.
00:31:45.380
Donald Trump is trying to get us out of these Middle East quagmires for good. That's why he
0.99
00:31:51.320
built what he built, that peace, you know, that peace mechanism over in the Middle East. That's
00:31:58.180
why you're seeing Saudi Arabia and Egypt and the UAE and everybody coming together and condemning
00:32:03.560
Iran. They're not neutral this time. That's not happened before. That again is part of the
0.86
00:32:10.000
strategy for this particular action with Iran. And it's very dangerous. Don't get me wrong. I'm not
0.99
00:32:21.060
cheerleading. I'm not downplaying. I'm just telling you, let's have some perspective on it. It may not
00:32:30.000
work, but that's what we're trying to do. Now, one of the things that's going to hit you on this
00:32:36.420
is oil, gas prices. They've hit $102 a barrel. Brent crude is what? What is it now, Jason? Do you
00:32:44.880
have a number? 104? I know it hit 110. It just dropped back below a hundred. So it's at 99 right
00:32:51.660
now. Okay. 99. It has spiked up to 119. This is not good. Our economy is built for under $120 a barrel.
00:33:02.940
Anything over that, we begin to really start to hemorrhage things. Remember, I told you this in
00:33:09.040
2008, $120 a barrel. It hits this. It's going to be a problem. Well, we were at 120 plus. I think it
00:33:16.840
hit 147 from April to August in 2008. So it has to be a sustained number. If we hit a sustained number
00:33:24.880
over 120, 130 for three, four months, you're going to see massive problems with the United
00:33:32.520
States. And everyone knows that. But fear comes first. Okay. Now, why is this happening? Because
00:33:39.360
the Straits of Hormuz are partially shut down. Most important 21 mile stretch in the world,
00:33:44.680
because that's where a lot of the oil comes from, from the UAE and Saudi Arabia and Iran.
00:33:52.420
And so they're trying to shut this down. 20% of the world's oil supply comes through that every
00:33:58.880
single day. Now the tanker traffic has dropped dramatically and Iran hit an oil tanker this
00:34:06.120
weekend and set it on fire with a drone. Some Gulf production has halted or reduced. So
00:34:13.120
we don't actually have a shortage. This is the thing that really pisses me off. These speculators
00:34:18.480
the market's not pricing oil right now. It's pricing risk. And what the speculators are doing
00:34:26.640
is really clear. The, the, the oil market, the traders are paying huge premiums because they want
00:34:33.120
the oil delivered right now. Future prices are lower, but right now it's, it's about 30% higher.
00:34:41.100
Okay. That's a pretty steep price. And so the traders are starting, I think it's such a good
00:34:47.980
name for them. Traders. The traders are, are saying there's going to be a physical shortage
00:34:54.100
here soon. This is not going to go well. So the speculators are betting and here are the bets that
00:35:00.140
they're laying. Okay. Scenario a Straits of Hormuz stays disrupted and the price goes from where it is
00:35:07.060
now to 120 to $150 a barrel. That would be catastrophic. Okay. Banks are already warning
00:35:15.400
of this level of disruption. Scenario two, partial naval reopening and prices stabilize between 90 and
00:35:27.060
110. And I think that's the most likely scenario three of full reopening. And that would bring prices
00:35:35.120
down to about 70 to $85 a barrel. But what, why, why, why? Not because we're getting more because
00:35:43.260
the risk premium disappears. Okay. This is the real problem. You don't want to go into Iran. Okay,
0.99
00:35:50.260
fine. What is the risk premium you're willing to pay? Here's, here's some of the things that happen.
00:36:00.220
The real problem is the shipping insurance. Insurance companies have said, nope, too big of a risk. I'm
00:36:07.160
not insuring all of that oil and that ship. So nope, I'm out. And so that just leaves them in dock
00:36:13.480
or out in the sea and they can't move because they no longer have insurance. So don't move, stay in
00:36:19.720
place. And the insurance company, and this is the part media misses, the Straits not blocked just by
00:36:26.320
missiles. It's blocked by the insurance markets. Okay. War risk insurance has gone up by 300%.
00:36:35.380
That's about one and a half percent value of the entire shipment. Okay. No insurance means you just
00:36:44.860
can't sail. So even if the strait were open right now, because of the war, nobody's affording the
00:36:52.200
insurance. So Donald Trump is looking at some like 1980s Ronald Reagan style solution here.
00:37:01.160
He's saying we're going to escort the tankers with our Navy. The insurance risk will collapse
00:37:07.820
overnight. And if not, then you know what? We'll back the insurance. Okay. Government will guarantee
00:37:14.580
the shipping losses. I don't love that, but I like that better than high prices over here because
00:37:21.180
we're going to pay for it one way or another. If Iran is neutralized, this is the big win.
0.99
00:37:29.140
The scenario completely changes because the risk changes. Oil, the price of oil right now pays
00:37:37.820
between 20 and $40 per barrel in risk alone because of that 21 mile stretch right there with Iran.
00:37:46.020
So oil could be down to, I've heard as low as $40 a barrel. If the United States would get back to a
00:37:54.460
World War II position where we controlled the Straits of Hormuz, oil could be as low as $20 a barrel.
00:38:02.500
Do you know what $20, you know what $40, you know what $60 a barrel does to Russia?
00:38:07.220
Russia collapses. It collapses. That's what that means. So risk disappears, insurance drops, shipping cost
00:38:20.480
falls, China loses their leverage, Russia probably collapses. I mean, it's a good scenario. We just have
0.97
00:38:30.280
to make it through there. And you either trust that our Navy can control that 21 mile straight or not.
00:38:39.020
Donald Trump is betting we can control that 21 mile straight. It's just going to take us some time,
00:38:43.600
but we can control it. If we can control it, then all of this changes dramatically. And you're not
00:38:49.900
looking at California prices for oil or gas. You're looking at prices we have maybe never seen in our
00:38:56.760
lifetime, or at least since I was very, very young, but it's going to take time. But that's
00:39:03.700
what's happening with oil. More in just a second. Stand by. Let me talk to you about Patriot Mobile.
00:39:10.040
There's an old rule in doing business with people. If you want to understand a company, don't just
00:39:14.420
listen to what they say. Look at what they do. What do they fund? Money is really honest. It tells you
00:39:22.220
what a company really believes in. Over the last few years, a lot of the big mobile carriers in this
00:39:26.300
country have been, I'd say, pretty open about where their money goes, supporting political causes,
00:39:33.280
activist groups, agenda that I don't agree with. Do you agree with that? I mean, look at who they're
00:39:39.460
supporting. No, thank you. I don't want my money going to that. But if I'm on one of the big carriers,
00:39:44.620
I'm paying for all of that. So I'm actually helping destroy the things that I'm trying to work hard to
00:39:49.980
protect. Patriot Mobile was built as a different kind of company. They provide dependable nationwide
00:39:55.820
coverage on the same major networks that you're already using, but their mission is different.
00:40:01.040
They support organizations that defend faith and family and freedom and the values that made your
00:40:05.900
country what it is today and keep it strong. Others will offer just the competitive plans.
00:40:12.860
They do too. And the U.S.-based service. Patriot Mobile goes the step further. They are the
00:40:19.220
country's only Christian conservative mobile phone company. Support the people who are supporting you

So, Gavin Newsom, who now has an approval rating of 28, good luck with that campaign, has an approval
00:41:10.720
rating of 28, has just tweeted that if Kamala Harris were president, this whole situation in the
00:41:18.220
Straits or Hormuz wouldn't have happened. Yeah, because she wouldn't know where the Straits are.
00:41:25.880
I mean, Straits of Hormuz, who are all these Straits and why are they oppressing Hormuz? We've got to get
00:41:33.740
involved. That should never happen. I mean, that's probably what would be going on right now if Kamala
0.66
00:41:38.940
Harris were. Can you imagine the chaos we would be in right now if Kamala Harris, oh my gosh.
1.00
00:41:45.040
Just think of the corruption alone. I cannot wait for our government to finally start to get down to
00:41:54.140
brass tacks on California, New York, Chicago, Minnesota, and any other state, red or blue,
00:42:04.240
that is involved in fleecing the American people. I cannot wait for people who have been stealing our
00:42:12.040
tax dollars to go to jail. And that, by the way, is being done at the same time that we are fighting
00:42:19.120
this war with Iran. Pray. Pray for everyone involved. I ask you pray for me as well to hear his voice and
00:42:30.180
know what to say to you every day. But pray, because only God can save the republic.
00:42:36.040
As America turns 250 this year, there's a lot of talk about the founding fathers and
00:42:45.020

You know, it's easy to say, gosh, when did it become so hard to be an American?
00:44:49.940
And a lot of people who are, you know, under 30 don't even know what that means.
00:44:55.240
Where you didn't have to deal with this every day.
00:44:59.960
We had a period of about 30, 40 years where we didn't deal with it.
00:45:07.420
This is the way I think life is supposed to be when it comes.
00:45:24.060
I want to put everything that is happening this weekend from Tehran to oil to the price of groceries to what happened in New York City over the weekend.
00:45:35.280
I want to put it all into perspective for you and show you what it actually means and what the big picture is that you should pay attention to.
00:45:47.600
First, you know, your brain was not designed to run nonstop, but somewhere along the way, that's, you know, what we all started doing.
00:45:57.080
And by the time your head finally hits the pillow, your mind is still going, you know, replacing, replaying all of the conversations that we've had.
00:46:05.380
You're running through a list of things you didn't quite finish.
00:46:07.700
And that's when you realize something really important.
00:46:10.000
Being tired and being able to sleep are two very different things.
00:46:19.820
Pay more attention to your sleep by not having to think about it all the time.
00:46:27.140
It's a support supplement from the makers of ReliefFactor.
00:46:30.680
It's helped your body do what your body was naturally meant to do.
00:46:33.920
Settle down at night and rest the way it's supposed to.
00:46:49.800
You have so much you're dealing with every day.
00:46:56.020
And as I start to do my work every night, getting ready for this show, I think about what you're facing every day.
00:47:04.220
From just simple things like going and getting a hamburger at the drive-thru and how expensive that is.
00:47:11.400
You are dealing with issues of affordability and job stability.
00:47:18.780
It's just the beginning of the things you have to worry.
00:47:22.440
We are people now that we have to start juggling many things at the same time.
00:47:30.580
You know, we have to, you know, the old saying is, I can walk and chew gum at the same time.
00:47:36.040
Walk and chew gum plus play tennis, maybe bowling night, have a parent-teacher conference so teachers can't put your kids on gender hormones.
00:47:42.280
Fight your way through an Antifa protest, you know, so you can vote to stop Sharia law.
0.96
00:47:50.960
I just did an hour, a minute ago on what this means when Donald Trump says boots on the ground.
00:47:59.820
Boots on the ground to this, a holy war and oil prices.
00:48:07.880
It's so much easier when you realize everything is connected.
00:48:10.840
You know, one of the things that, you know, as I've tried to find out, figure out, how does AI do what it does?
00:48:20.340
We've put all of our lessons, all of our work, everything into an AI system.
00:48:26.200
And what it does is it looks for patterns and then it puts them together.
00:48:33.220
That is the, that's the definition of intelligence, being able to spot patterns and then put them together.
00:48:40.280
So if you're looking for something intelligent, let's look for patterns.
00:48:46.460
Do you remember when I was at Fox, I told you this prediction and it wasn't really a prediction.
00:48:52.340
I knew it to be true because I looked at the patterns.
00:48:57.700
I put this up and said, radicals, Islamists, communists, and socialists will work together against Israel,
00:49:03.980
against capitalism, and work together to overturn stability.
00:49:07.700
There are radicals, globalists, Islamists, all working together.
00:49:12.320
Radicals, Islamists, communists, and socialists will work together against Israel, work against capitalism,
00:49:22.200
i was hammered for it radicals islamists communists socialists all working together
00:49:27.620
against israel this has nothing to do with israel this has everything to do with freedom
00:49:32.540
and they all said that they would never work together that chalkboard is everything you need
00:49:38.960
except there's one thing that i left off that chalkboard that i'm going to add today
00:49:42.540
but let's start here all of the players their motives their objectives if you miss this one
00:49:48.420
giant chalkboard dot you're going to be lost and let me show you something happened this weekend in
00:49:55.600
new york city that you know should have stopped the entire country dead in his tracks if you knew
00:50:01.160
the chalkboard outside gracie mansion the official residence of the mayor of new york protests two of
00:50:07.400
collided one was protesting what organized called the islamification of the city and the other
00:50:13.660
counter protest was against them okay in the middle of that clash according to the new york
00:50:19.520
police department a man lit and threw an improvised explosive device an ied when's the first time you
00:50:26.240
ever heard of an ied oh that's right that's what iran created to blow up our soldiers okay
0.91
00:50:33.020
police later confirmed it was not a smoke bomb or a hoax it was a real device it was a jar packed
00:50:41.000
with screws and nuts and bolts and a fuse and if it would have gone off it would have caused
00:50:46.280
massive injury and death okay two suspects were arrested federal authorities have opened a terror
00:50:53.340
investigation thankfully it failed to detonate but that's not the troubling part of the story
00:50:59.860
the most troubling part is what happened afterward the new mayor of new york condemned the protest
00:51:07.580
itself as hateful and racist but he avoided acknowledging the ideological context behind
00:51:15.380
the attack on the other side at the same time there are reports circulating that the mayor's own wife
0.97
00:51:22.100
had a previously liked social media post uh celebrating the october 7th hamas attack against israel
00:51:28.820
post ranging from the breach of israel's border to describing it just simply as resistance okay so why
00:51:36.540
does any of this matter well because leadership matters tone matters and what leaders excuse or
00:51:44.580
refuse to confront often becomes what a society learns to tolerate but that's not enough america today
00:51:54.880
is facing a problem that many of our political leaders refuse to even describe because they're cowards
00:52:00.020
mom donnie's not a coward he's different there is this growing ideological alliance between two movements that have
00:52:08.120
historically had two very different worldviews radical marxism and radical islamism okay at first glance if
0.98
00:52:17.260
you're an idiot or a boob that has studied this the whole time and then you get on and you're like ah i'm bill
0.94
00:52:24.280
crystal and i know those two groups never worked together okay bill one is secular one is revolutionary
1.00
00:52:32.500
one is religious one is authoritarian or are they both because history will show us something really
00:52:39.540
really important when movements share the same enemy that enemy being western civilization capitalism
00:52:46.520
or liberal democracy which when i mean liberal democracy what i mean is that people choose their own
00:52:53.520
future these two groups always form a temporary alliance okay notice i said temporary alliance
00:53:01.100
political scientists call it the red green alliance and the most important example of that alliance
00:53:07.680
happened in iran in 1979 when the iranian revolution happened in 1979 i was a kid i barely remember this but
00:53:16.140
it wasn't just the the clerics that were protesting the shah who else was there and played a maximum role in that
00:53:24.900
it was students and marxists and communists and secular revolutionaries and they band together with the
00:53:32.300
islamic clerics and they all marched arm in arm hand in hand left-wing guerrilla groups and communist parties
00:53:39.940
helped destabilize iran then the islamist networks mobilized all of the mosques
0.96
00:53:47.520
so this has been talked about over and over and over again it is the red green alliance and intellectuals
00:53:58.300
have gone into it with all kinds of you know all kinds of books and everything else is this is really
00:54:04.820
well known but nobody will talk about it okay and together they overthrew the shah and then something
00:54:11.260
predictable happened once the islamists consolidated power under the ayatollah khomeini they turned on
0.74
00:54:18.940
their former marxist allies the communists were imprisoned the revolutionaries were purged
00:54:28.620
hmm wait a minute i thought they were partners in this glenn you just said they work together
00:54:36.240
mm-hmm i did to destabilize the western world i didn't go into what happens after did i i was just
00:54:48.120
trying to say look at these people they are connected this is a connected movement and that was that
00:54:55.120
nobody could understand that at the time because it was 15 years ahead but now you can see it they
00:55:01.680
are connected so now it's time to add something else to the chalkboard history recorded this lesson
00:55:10.760
very clearly temporary revolutionary alliances often end with one side eating the other and the pattern
00:55:18.980
didn't end in iran you can see the echoes of it in a whole bunch of other places parts of europe
00:55:24.520
particularly france and great britain analysts have warned about the political cooperation between
00:55:29.720
segments of the far left and the islamist activist movements inside urban political coalition coalitions
00:55:36.140
do you know who just controls the green party now in england who just took over
00:55:44.300
the radical islamists the green party is now an islamist party but they're also marxist
00:55:53.680
see they'll work together these alliances form around the shared opposition
00:56:00.280
to the west israel capitalism and national identity
00:56:06.060
the left provides the political shield the islamists provide the mobilization and the grievance
1.00
00:56:14.180
narrative and together they build a coalition powerful enough to reshape our institutions
00:56:19.680
we're watching versions of this emerge in western cities today look at the map in the united states
00:56:26.080
new york dearborn minneapolis parts of texas and those are just a couple of them these are places
00:56:34.520
where radical political movements and radical religious ideologies are marching under the same banner
00:56:40.740
and when the violence happens the first instinct is not to confront the ideology it's to silence the discussion
00:56:48.940
that's what's going to get us all killed and anyone who raises the concern is either a conspiracy theorist
00:56:56.740
or a bigot or whatever but refusing to talk about the ideology and what's actually happen
00:57:03.440
happening does not make it disappear it allows it to grow
00:57:12.520
i don't have a problem with muslims there's a lot of muslims in america in america that want to live
0.97
00:57:20.640
moved away from that crap they know exactly what it is they're americans they work they raise families
0.99
00:57:26.720
they want the same thing that you and i want and they don't want any of that crap
0.99
00:57:34.120
america should always remain open to immigrants who want to become americans it's one of our greatest strength
00:57:41.700
but the islamist and the marxist are shipping people here that don't want to be an american
0.84
00:57:50.520
because among the millions who cross our borders or enter our political institutions
00:57:55.640
there are a lot of them now that want to not join america but change it into something else entirely
00:58:03.520
and when these people openly celebrate terrorism justify violence throw bombs into crowds
00:58:09.460
you have to have the courage to say enough is enough
00:58:15.980
this isn't about your religion it's not about your race
00:58:25.240
because history shows that civilizations don't collapse from a single attack they collapse
00:58:30.840
when they lose the ability to recognize the attack for what it is
00:58:38.120
europe is learning it right now and america is seeing the early warning signs
00:58:43.120
the solution of course is not hatred hatred destroys nations the solution is also not naive or
00:58:52.200
no no no we can chew gum and walk at the same time we can see the danger and also not hate
00:59:02.980
welcome those who come here to be americans the right way and remove those who came here the wrong way and those
00:59:14.220
especially, who have come here to change or harm America.
00:59:17.840
And that means deporting the individuals who openly support terrorism.
00:59:22.600
That means refusing to tolerate violent ideological movements, period,
00:59:29.080
It means having the courage to discuss the problem honestly,
00:59:34.640
Because the most dangerous moment any civilization ever faces
00:59:47.540
The most dangerous moment is when leaders and citizens convince themselves
00:59:52.160
that speaking about the threat is worse than the threat itself.
01:00:02.060
It's not too late to pull back on the reins, but it is growing late.
01:00:10.300
The stakes are the survival for the American idea.
01:00:13.660
The idea that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator
01:00:19.600
You know that there are Marxists now, and there are those,
01:00:22.700
I'm going to get into the fraction on the right here today.
01:00:26.000
There are those in the right who are saying the problem is liberal democracy.
01:00:32.740
The problem is that people have too many rights.
01:00:40.820
So how are you telling me that God is against me having rights?
01:00:55.280
The Islamics, the socialists, the communists, the radicals will work together to destabilize
1.00
01:01:03.980
Israel, Europe, and the entire Western world.
0.99
01:01:08.520
Then, here's the addition, then the most vicious will kill, torture, and imprison the others.
0.98
01:01:20.760
Momdani, I'm not sure if he is a Marxist or a Islamist.
01:01:27.700
I have my own view on that, but I don't know what's true or not.
01:01:40.480
Half of that crowd is going to be very, very disappointed when they're being tortured and killed in the end.
0.91
01:01:59.720
I started a while back because I didn't know how to pick a good real estate agent.
01:02:04.680
I was having a really hard time selling my house.
01:02:12.720
Comparables, escalation causes, contingencies, appraisals, inspections.
01:02:18.680
It's one of the most important decisions that you'll make in your financial lifetime.
01:02:25.960
And you have to know how to navigate that, especially in bad economies or economies where it's hard to sell a house.
01:02:35.560
We built a network of experienced, vetted agents across the country who have proven they know how to help you succeed in today's housing market.
01:02:44.740
We'll show you how to buy a home even in a tough market.
01:03:08.740
If you are a Torch Insider, we have something really cool today.
01:03:11.260
We've never done this before, but I think it's really important.
01:03:14.300
It's going to come out later this week in preparation for next week's special on the blueprints of radical Islam and how they are going to destroy us and the Western world destroys if we don't wake up.
0.95
01:03:29.920
I've never done one live before, and I just think it's too important.
01:03:35.200
So right after this show, we're just going to keep the stream going.
01:03:38.740
You're going to actually get a behind the scenes of my after show meeting with all of my producers, and you'll see what that's like.
01:03:46.580
And then the show prep for the guest, and then the guest, I think about what time is it?
01:03:55.600
You'll see all the behind the scenes stuff, and then the actual podcast.
01:04:01.280
It's not going to be recorded and saved in that condition.
01:04:05.040
So if you wait until Thursday, it will come out on Thursday when we normally release podcasts, but it'll be the edited version without all of the stuff in front of it.
01:04:18.160
This is Bill Cloud, and he's talking about radical Islam.
01:04:21.580
He's going to be talking about exactly what I told you, except he's going deeper into what these people, especially the 12ers, actually believe.
1.00
01:04:31.460
The religiosity that we are facing, we are facing a danger of, I need to just be honest with you.
01:04:44.900
I think the 12ers are the army of the Antichrist.
1.00
01:04:48.800
I mean, they have every mark of it, and Bill will explain all of that to you.
01:04:51.840
But what does the Bible say about the buildup of Islam?
01:04:56.160
All today, right after the show, join us right now, glenbeck.com slash torch, glenbeck.com slash torch.
01:05:05.780
Get this today, live, right after this broadcast.
01:05:17.120
You know, in any difficult situation, there is always a right choice and a wrong choice.
01:05:22.480
And the problem is, right choice isn't always obvious, you know, especially when you're scared or confused or you feel like you're alone.
01:05:32.280
Imagine a young woman sitting in a clinic waiting room.
01:05:34.600
She's there right now, and she just found out over the weekend that she's pregnant, and her mind is racing.
01:05:41.980
There are voices coming at her from every direction.
01:05:44.240
Some of them are urging her one way, you know, others another, and she feels like everything is happening too fast to think even clearly.
01:05:53.500
Sometimes the most important thing a person needs in that moment is not pressure.
01:05:59.460
It's support to see what's actually happening inside, and that's what pre-born does.
01:06:04.520
They help provide free ultrasounds for women who are facing that moment of uncertainty.
01:06:09.240
And then when she says, I can't, but I can't afford, I can't do this, I would need this, then they make all of that happen for her for the first two years.
01:06:19.520
$140 helps five mothers, and every dollar goes to help save babies and moms and gives them hope.
01:06:32.920
The torch is making it hard for me to get anything else done.
01:06:39.240
I want to talk to you about something that makes a lot of people very uncomfortable.
01:07:00.180
But when something makes me uncomfortable, I start to think,
01:07:04.240
maybe that's something that's really important that we should talk about here.
01:07:10.000
Right now, we are having a fight inside the American right.
01:07:15.040
And not the fight that you see on TV, not Republicans versus Democrats, but what it means to be conservative.
01:07:28.280
And I want to approach this really carefully, and I'm not going to bring names into it, because it doesn't matter.
01:07:34.180
And I don't want to accuse people who I think some, some, few, but some might be acting in good faith.
01:07:43.300
Many people are just drifting into this conversation and are doing so because they love the country.
01:07:50.500
They can feel something in the world is profoundly wrong.
01:07:55.900
And they're worried about the collapse of our culture, the loss of national identity, the erosion of faith, chaos in politics, a system that feels totally rigged.
01:08:08.480
And if that's you and you feel that way, you're not crazy for feeling them.
01:08:13.480
But when you, when you just been hit in the face over and over again, which this country has been hit in the face over and over again, you know, you're a little disoriented and dangerous things can happen because you can be drawn into circles that are giving ideas that sound familiar and good at first.
01:08:30.680
Let me start with, let me start with the most obvious one.
01:08:36.920
One of the people whose ideas are increasingly echoing in certain corners of Western politics is a guy that we've been talking about for almost a decade or two.
01:08:50.260
And if you've heard that name before, you know, because he was called Putin's philosopher for a while, Putin's brain.
01:08:57.660
And, you know, there's a simplistic, you know, thing that he starts with all the time.
01:09:09.660
He is a Russian political theorist who has spent decades now developing an ideology called Eurasianism.
01:09:16.940
And at first glance, when you listen to what he says out in the public at first, or you read any of his books, the first chapter, you're going to be like, this guy is really good.
01:09:28.220
Um, because he talks about protecting tradition.
01:09:34.000
He talks about defending national culture against technocratic power.
01:09:38.540
And you hear things, you're like, well, I agree with that.
01:09:40.980
I mean, his book was, you know, I've read a few of them.
01:09:43.520
The first one I read was so disturbing because I think I was two or three chapters in before it started.
01:09:48.140
But before I started going, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what does that mean?
01:09:56.420
And it's how ideology spread quietly because everything sounds familiar and most people are on the surface.
01:10:03.020
But when you go deeper, something very different and evil emerges.
01:10:10.720
It's not about the constitution and it is definitely not about individual rights.
01:10:15.760
It is not about the Christian understanding of the dignity of the individual.
01:10:20.640
I just have to say, we were all born and created.
01:10:24.300
Our founding fathers declared, and I believe it to be true, all of us endowed with certain unalienable rights.
01:10:30.460
We were sent down here to choose between good and evil.
01:10:37.000
And anyone who is taking the choice of your individual freedom to make decisions for yourself, they're on the road to evil, if not evil itself.
01:10:50.520
Dugan believes liberal democracy itself is the enemy.
01:10:54.680
He believes that individual liberty is the problem.
01:10:58.520
And he believes society should be organized around civilizational blocks ruled by strong centralized authority.
01:11:05.700
His model, Russia leads to an Eurasian empire.
0.53
01:11:19.980
If you believe any of that stuff, you're not a conservative.
01:11:24.180
That's a form of authoritarian, civilizational nationalism.
01:11:28.500
And it rejects the core of the American idea that rights come from God and belong to you, the individual.
01:11:35.660
Now, here's where it gets really uncomfortable, because some of the language used by Dugan for years now has started to echo in Western conversations and online in the form of people that you have formerly trusted and may still trust.
01:11:52.360
Um, and it is in academic circles, it is in political commentary, uh, sometimes it's even in our churches and it does not arrive labeled.
01:12:02.640
It arrives disguised as something else concern about cultural collapse, concern about national identity, concerned about moral decay.
01:12:11.320
All of these things are legitimate, but they also can become a doorway to something much, much darker.
01:12:19.220
There's a whole bunch of scholars who have warned about this for years.
01:12:22.460
One of them is James Lindsay, who has spent a lot of time studying how ideologies infiltrate institutions.
01:12:32.060
Ideological capture rarely begins with the extreme version of the idea.
01:12:36.380
It begins with a soft entrance, something adjacent, something that feels like it solves the problems you already see.
01:12:44.180
But before you realize it, the conversation, the conversation has shifted.
01:12:48.520
And instead of defending liberty, people start defending power.
01:12:52.120
Instead of defending the constitution, they're defending authority.
01:12:55.100
Instead of defending individual rights, they start defending civilizational struggle.
01:13:00.160
And that is the shift to watch for whole bunch of thinkers have thought about this for a long time and have been warning about it.
01:13:13.200
Um, maybe I'll punish, I mean, I'll publish, punish you with the publishing of this story.
01:13:18.160
Um, but I've done my homework on this and there's a lot of people that have talked about this, but what's important here is how do you spot it?
01:13:33.660
And the first is when the language of liberty disappears.
01:13:37.820
When you hear people talk about power and dominance and civilizational conflict, but you no longer hear them talk about individual rights, something has shifted.
01:13:48.340
When a democracy itself is dismissed as weak or obsolete.
01:13:52.540
America was never meant to be a pure democracy.
01:13:54.940
It was meant to be a constitutional republic with checks on power.
01:14:00.880
But when people start saying Liberty is the problem, you should pay attention.
01:14:06.440
The third warning sign is when grievance becomes the only glue holding a movement together.
01:14:20.280
And solutions are no conversations are no longer about solutions.
01:14:29.840
And notice when you're talking about Iran, how many of these are conversations are about solutions.
01:14:37.840
You can disagree with the war in Iran, but have you heard somebody come out with a different solution?
01:14:43.760
Other than we shouldn't be there because this is going to be okay.
01:14:55.980
If you don't start offering solutions and you have a reasonable conversation about them, then everybody is an enemy.
01:15:02.560
And every institution is corrupt and nobody can be trusted.
01:15:07.280
And suddenly the only thing holding the group together is resentment.
01:15:16.260
Once you start dividing and saying that person is a traitor.
01:15:26.240
You wake up one day and you realize the only thing I have in common with all these people is we're all angry, not faith, not principles, not Liberty, just anger.
01:15:34.180
And when anger is the foundation, it can be steered anywhere.
01:15:47.640
The founders believed that human beings were flawed, which meant power just had to be limited, not concentrated.
01:15:53.720
They believe liberty required self-government, not strongmen.
01:15:57.380
They believe the dignity of the individual that came from God, not the state.
01:16:03.680
And we only survive if we defend those, even when we're frustrated, when the world feels chaotic.
01:16:16.520
I am prompted to tell you, if you do not have the spirit as your constant companion, you will not make it through these days.
01:16:34.420
Things are going to become so fuzzy, so murky, so easily sold.
01:16:46.020
Because you're going to be tempted by the promise that somebody strong can just force everything back into order.
01:16:53.720
Because once liberty is traded for order, it doesn't come back.
01:17:03.460
The problems that you feel, and the problems that you and your family, and maybe your sons and daughters in college and everything else, everything that everybody is feeling right now about the world, it's all real.
01:17:23.380
Cultural confusion, institutional collapse, loss of trust, we have to confront all of those things.
01:17:31.620
But we cannot do it without abandoning the principles that made this country possible in the first place.
01:17:39.480
Because the cure for a failing republic is not authoritarianism.
01:17:44.280
The cure for a renewed commitment to the ideas that built the republic are liberty, faith, responsibility, self-government.
01:17:57.860
And if somebody is only giving you anger, question them.
01:18:05.320
If they are only giving you an analysis that is saying, you know what the problem is?
01:18:11.560
Honestly, Ricky said to me today, before you start that monologue, you might want to reintroduce why you're talking about this.
01:18:20.840
Because I just assumed you know what the problem is.
01:18:26.040
And so I had to make sure that I started the monologue with, okay, here's what's going on in the world.
01:18:33.760
But I just assume you know what the problem is.
01:18:36.040
I think what you need, what I need, what I'm desperate for, is to be able to listen to somebody who says, okay, here's a solution.
01:18:46.740
I disagree with the war, or I agree with the war, or whatever it is, and here's what we have to watch for.
01:19:12.900
I'm so sick and tired of hearing, it's Trump's fault.
01:19:22.980
But when you get to that point, somebody will come to you with something that sounds really super sweet.
01:19:41.260
And the minute we get swept away in a current about ideologies that begin by sounding familiar, you end up an ocean away from the land of the free.
01:20:01.080
When was the last time you really knew your financial house inside and out?
01:20:06.780
When you knew where every single dollar was going, you know, why it was going there, whether, you know, it was structuring the best way for you to live and, you know, and getting the biggest bang out of your buck so you could do the things you want to.
01:20:31.900
You accumulate a little debt here and a little there.
01:20:33.980
And before you know, you're operating on financial autopilot and you're making payments every month without really stepping back and saying, is there a smarter way to structure all of this?
01:20:43.660
It's one of the reasons why American financing exists.
01:20:46.160
Their salary-based team of mortgage consultants take the time to walk you through the full range and financial pictures that, you know, that you could choose from.
01:20:54.160
Maybe you should refinance your mortgage or consolidate that high interest debt or lower the interest that's been working against you.
01:21:00.560
Sometimes the biggest financial improvement isn't making more money.
01:21:03.140
It's understanding the money that you've already made and putting it to work for you.
01:21:08.780
Just call them, tell them your situation, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.
01:21:19.600
APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
01:21:23.380
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
01:21:26.940
Doesn't matter if you drive a truck or a Tesla.
01:21:41.020
All right, let me give you another look at this.
01:22:03.200
You know, I say, you know, is there anybody else who has a different answer?
01:22:06.920
Yeah, well, Senator Chris Murphy had an answer.
01:22:12.560
What I disagree with is that an aerial military campaign or even the insertion of ground forces
01:22:18.260
can permanently dislodge Iran from having a nuclear weapon.
01:22:30.200
Barack Obama negotiated an agreement in which Iran was more than a year away from getting a weapon.
01:22:40.160
Donald Trump's advisors told him it was working.
01:22:42.520
He threw that agreement into the trash, which precipitated the crisis that we are in today.
01:22:47.800
This is a place where diplomacy probably is the only true path to make sure that Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon.
01:23:01.200
Barack Obama, his strategy was working in Iran.
01:23:23.740
People, uh, that would disagree with that one, but okay.
01:23:28.440
At least he had a solution and it wasn't just, you know, we can't do this.
01:23:37.580
I don't agree with that because that's just standing around and hoping for, you know, a better outcome, doing exactly the same thing that we've done for, you know, forever.
01:23:47.820
And it, it's gotten us here, but what should we have done more in a minute?
01:23:53.980
We lock our cars, we set our alarms, we install cameras, but there is one thing most people don't even realize can be stolen.
01:24:20.440
They can make it look like your property is theirs and from there they can try to take out loans against it.
01:24:26.180
And you may not know anything about it until the collection agencies and the bank notices start showing up.
01:24:31.020
And then the sheriff by then you're the one trying to prove you didn't do something, you know, that was wrong.
01:24:38.480
Home title lock monitors your home's title and alerts you to suspicious activity.
01:24:42.640
So you can act before a bad situation turns into a financial nightmare because your home isn't just an asset.
01:24:53.560
You'll get a free title history report and a free trial of their million dollar triple lock protection.
01:24:58.740
24-7 monitoring of your title records, urgent alerts.
01:25:01.600
If anything changes, I want you to go to HomeTitleLock.com.
01:25:55.480
this is the glenn beck program glenn beck is on hello america today's been all about connecting
01:26:06.860
the dots uh and in about an hour from now i'm going to be doing a live uh podcast with a guy
01:26:13.920
named bill cloud he is going to really tie a lot of this stuff together something i've been talking
01:26:18.000
about for a very long time the twelvers uh and how people who uh are shia twelvers are the most
01:26:27.880
dangerous of all of the islamists because they believe their ideology their religion tells them
1.00
01:26:35.620
they have to start world war three they they have to wash the world in blood to hasten the return of
1.00
01:26:41.240
the promised one the the mahdi and um bill is going to talk a little bit about that he's an expert on
01:26:47.320
what's happening with the islamist islamization of the entire world and especially the western world
1.00
01:26:54.500
and i thought it was very appropriate this podcast has kind of come out the normal way on thursday
01:27:00.340
but i thought it was really important appropriate that we just continue the show um so in just under
01:27:06.280
an hour you will hear uh the you know what my day is like afterwards i get a post uh meeting on the
01:27:13.520
show uh from all of our producers and we talk a little bit about tomorrow's show and then i prep
01:27:18.460
for the next uh event and so about 12 15 eastern time i will be starting that podcast with bill and
01:27:26.540
you'll be able to hear that uh live and it will not be uh kept anywhere so this will be a live event
01:27:33.780
and then all of this stuff goes away and the podcast in its normal form will come out on uh thursday
01:27:39.280
for torch subscribers if you're not a torch subscriber make sure you do subscribe now i
01:27:44.480
gotta tell you you've missed a lot jason has done a exceptional job i haven't even had time to tell
01:27:48.640
you this yet jason but just an exceptional job he was talking about the red green alliance and giving
01:27:53.500
facts that i just didn't have time to get to um the chris wright energy secretary which i hope to get
01:27:58.920
with him tomorrow uh to talk about oil and going a little deeper than i could and manage decline
01:28:04.760
which we are now that that was our choice manage decline is that what you want because what you're
01:28:13.060
getting now is the opposite of manage decline but it takes a very big vision and i think that's what
01:28:19.900
you're not getting from the press and podcast is a big vision on what's going on so let me tell you
01:28:25.780
about something else that happened over the weekend and that's the shield of the americans because that
01:28:30.340
is big vision and that will explain cuba what's going on in cuba all of that will be explained
01:28:37.560
here in just a second first let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour it's rough greens you know
01:28:42.880
you think about your uh dog's health and you know we think about the big things is he eating is he
01:28:47.840
drinking is he getting outside running around all those things you know they matter of course they do
01:28:51.720
but what a lot of dog owners don't realize is that you know many of the health problems our dogs deal
01:28:56.420
always start in a much quieter place and that is in the bowl nutrition most dog food is designed to
01:29:01.460
be convenient and shelf stable and not necessarily provide everything your dog's body was designed to
01:29:06.700
need because it can't it has to be shelf stable so a lot of all of the nutritionals uh nutritional
01:29:12.720
stuff some of the probiotics you know things that are alive the enzymes the things that you know
01:29:17.440
have to be in there uh are not in processed food so way to get it back is with rough greens i want you
01:29:24.120

01:29:42.860
beck all right with the shield of america let me try to tell you what i think is going on and happening
01:29:48.860
because you're if you're getting your news from cable television you're seeing
01:29:51.780
all of the pieces on the board but nobody is showing you the whole board okay you're seeing
01:29:57.500
venezuela as one story you're seeing greenland as one story cuba it's another story mexico another
01:30:05.420
story china another story oil is another story it's not they're all one story okay one story and the
01:30:13.500
story is this this administration i believe is trying to redraw the strategic map of the western
01:30:21.720
hemisphere and say very very clearly that this side of the world will not be handed over to the
01:30:28.220
cartels the chinese uh government russians or any kind of transnational elite management that treats
01:30:36.420
nations like economic zones instead of homes for real people that's the big idea behind what trump
01:30:43.880
has just launched as the shield of the americas reuters reported he formally launched the coalition
01:30:51.120
in miami march 7th said 17 nations have entered the alliance now you notice what he's doing he is
01:30:58.500
creating new alliances he is saying nato is not really something we should be a part of but he's not
01:31:05.900
saying we shouldn't be a part of a new strategic alliance he's saying all of the strategic alliances
01:31:10.300
have changed and we need to look for the ones that fit this century not last century so he's got 17
01:31:17.840
nations and at least a dozen regional leaders were at the summit and they signed the proclamation
01:31:24.060
you know beginning it now this is not just another slogan or another you know i'm gonna i'm gonna send
01:31:32.300
kamala harris down to find out what the problem is we know what the problem is presidents will tell you
01:31:39.040
what they believe with movement not just words president biden told us who he was and what he
01:31:44.300
believed by sending kamala harris who really never went down to find out what the problem was when we
01:31:49.740
all knew what the problem was okay but i want you to look at the moves this president has made in
01:31:55.140
venezuela the administration didn't posture it didn't talk about it u.s forces went in captured
01:32:01.040
nicholas maduro washington then moved quickly to shape the oil picture that followed including announcing
01:32:08.000
um access to as much as two billion dollars in venezuelan crude and seizing the tankers
01:32:14.020
that he said and everybody was saying were used to evade sanctions so what was he doing he was
01:32:21.500
hitting china and also iran he was preparing for that in greenland the white house openly treated the
01:32:29.740
island as a strategic security priority in the arctic and everybody was saying that's crazy what is he
01:32:35.620
toys get us into another war but what was he doing he said it was necessary to deter adversaries in the
01:32:44.920
region what adversary would that be russia also to open new shipping lines in the arctic circle that
01:32:53.360
we would control good idea for america first or bad idea cuba is in the news this weekend
01:33:00.140
administration administration trump has just been tightening the vice okay trump threatened tariffs
01:33:06.320
on any country supplying oil to cuba in january march 7th he said you know guess who's coming to
01:33:13.640
the negotiating table and quote marco rubio is at the end of the line the people were riding the
01:33:21.380
streets down with communism thanking america blah blah blah cuba's about to fall think of that
01:33:29.480
mexico what happened last week in mexico the pressure is no longer theoretical
01:33:36.020
mexican special forces with our intelligence support killed the cartel leader uh el mencho
01:33:44.080
um and what did that do oh my gosh that set mexico on fire but exposed just how deep the cartel problem
01:33:52.760
really is none of this stuff is random this is doctrine the theme of today's show really is
01:34:01.160
look for the big picture these none of these stories from the war in iran to this story none of these are
01:34:10.960
disconnected it is all one big vision now if you want the old name for you know uh what he started
01:34:18.440
this weekend with the shield of america uh or the americas it's the monroe doctrine you know but then
01:34:25.160
you know the monroe doctrine you know wearing the tri-cornered hat really this is the 21st century
01:34:30.780
version that sounds more like a marvel movie the original monroe doctrine said to europe the hemisphere
01:34:37.560
is not your chessboard this belongs to the west and new countries okay it's the new world the updated
01:34:45.260
version says to china and russia and to criminal empires and yes even the folks in davos uh i'm
01:34:54.600
sorry sovereignty is not an inconvenience this hemisphere is not open to hostile capture this
01:35:02.100
is a free zone that's what this is okay so why how does this matter to you why why can we just get
01:35:10.640
gas prices down can we just fix the price of groceries you have been taught your whole life
01:35:18.400
that you know foreign policy is something that happens over there and couple that with oh my gosh
01:35:26.340
and foreign policy always means nation building so we're building somebody else without building us
01:35:31.580
no longer is that true foreign affairs have come home
01:35:37.180
if china controls more strategic ports and infrastructure and debt and communications in
01:35:44.700
latin america that's not abstract china's trade with latin america reached about 520 billion dollars
01:35:51.760
in 2024 it extended more than 120 billion dollars in loans in the hemisphere why why would they do that
01:36:00.240
because they have energy projects they have ports and other strategic infrastructure here in our
01:36:08.120
hemisphere they would control it also we've been concerned about the chinese-backed facilities in
01:36:16.000
places like peru and argentina as well as chinese support for venezuela that can happen if you want a
01:36:24.280
secure nation if look if you want to continue the idea that we are a nation in decline then don't do
01:36:31.120
any of these things but if you say we cannot be a nation in decline the best still has to be in front of us
01:36:39.320
for our children if you don't mind the u.s dollar no longer being the world's reserve currency so we are
01:36:48.920
essentially mexico then don't do any of these things if russia can keep anti-american regimes alive in this
0.51
01:36:59.060
hemisphere through oil and shipping and intelligence ties or sanctions evasion that's not abstract
01:37:06.240
okay if cartels the next one on the list can control territory in mexico and i mean
01:37:14.080
a lot of territory in mexico they are the government of mexico and they can move fentanyl traffic human
01:37:22.240
beings intimidate local and state governments have their own private armies that's not a border issue
01:37:29.840
that's a parallel state on our border you know mexico described cartel retaliation as so intense
01:37:39.920
that the roads were blockaded and businesses burned and flights were suspended that's a parallel
01:37:47.620
government so when the president came out this weekend and said shield of the americas the real point
01:37:55.820
is that it's not just theater the real point is this the united states is trying to lock down
01:38:05.120
it's near abroad before the adversaries that we have lock us out of it and they were close because
01:38:11.920
nobody paid attention give me 60 seconds and i'll come back and tell you the part that cable news and
01:38:18.340
nobody else is explaining really well if at all okay first let me tell you about my patriot supply
01:38:23.260
unless you're ready to walk outside right now build a fire and some shelter and start living off the
01:38:28.420
land you probably should have some emergency food stored away and i mean unless you're really ready
01:38:34.940
not the romantic version you see in the movies i'm talking about do you know how to find food
01:38:40.000
preserve food get through weeks or days without a grocery store because the truth is most of us live
01:38:46.000
in a world that shows up and we are toast but a system that only works as long as everything is
01:38:52.980
running perfectly is trouble and that's why so many families keep emergency food from my patriot supply
01:38:58.140

yours now prepare with glenn.com 10 seconds station okay so
01:39:41.280
what the mainstream media is telling very poorly if at all is that this is not just about our enemies
01:39:50.340
this is also about competing systems brazil just ratified a deal with the eu a trade deal which
01:39:58.420
moves europe closer to a much deeper economic presence in south america that doesn't make brazil the
01:40:05.380
enemy doesn't make europe the enemy but it does tell you the hemisphere is being a contested economic
01:40:11.720
space and multiple power centers are trying to shape the future for them we must be america first
01:40:19.160
you've been there i hear this all the time that's not america yes it is there's nothing more america
01:40:24.440
first than some of these policies that he's implementing right now let me ask you this if
01:40:28.980
you were sitting in the oval office and you believed america had spent decades bleeding treasure in the
01:40:34.720
middle east while china built leverage in our own hemisphere russians are on our own doorstep
0.66
01:40:41.080
they're changing everything the eu with the wef is here what would you do what would you do as president
01:40:47.280
would you say well okay i'm just gonna eat around the edges or would you say enough is enough enough
01:40:52.560
neglect enough pretending that this is normal enough letting criminal networks become shadow governments
01:40:58.300
enough letting the strategic assets drift into hostile hands enough letting energy shipping migration
01:41:08.500
that's what the president said that's the pivot that you're watching the hardest question really is mexico
01:41:17.540
mexico is much worse than we thought it was and it's the key you cannot have the shield of the americas
1.00
01:41:26.160
if mexico is unstable you can't have border security if cartel power outruns state power you can't have
01:41:34.640
lower long-term prices safer supply chains serious manufacturing a renaissance in north america if
01:41:41.900
mexico is a half partner half hostage it doesn't happen so how does he get mexico to move well we've
01:41:49.720
already seen the beginning of it pressure leverage results mexican officials are already seen as trying
01:41:59.480
to appease washington um and when trump said you know what you need to step up after the almencho operation
01:42:08.660
otherwise you're going to get tariffs trade leverage intelligence uh uh cooperation security pressure
01:42:16.160
joint operations maybe one brutal message you can either be a sovereign partner of the united states
01:42:23.500
that crushes this power of the cartels or we will build a coalition all around you and fence you off
01:42:33.100
but subtle diplomacy is not really what you know this administration is all about or what it requires
01:42:40.080
cuba same principle starve the regime of support systems that keep it alive they have no power they have
01:42:47.740
nothing we threaten tariffs on countries supplying cuba with oil trump said this weekend guess who's at the
01:42:56.340
negotiating table i mean it is close to falling what does that do if we don't have cuba what does that do to
01:43:05.800
russia and china what does that do about our security america first anybody venezuela same principle
01:43:12.920
break the regime's external lifelines now notice they didn't do regime change because that's not what
01:43:20.700
this president does he's breaking it enough so they can fix it and he'll break it some more if they don't
01:43:28.020
fix it but he rerouted the energy map um he separated caracas from beijing and moscow and tehran
01:43:36.140
and and now the venezuelan oil flow severed all of its economic ties to china russia and iran
01:43:44.100
and now look what's happening he did that right before he took on
01:43:48.500
to everything there is a season everything has its place and timing is important he did that and then
01:44:00.980
greenland seems completely isolated unless you look at the map greenland is not ice it is an arctic
01:44:09.680
position minerals sea lanes deterrence it's keeping china and russia from dominating the top of the map
01:44:17.460
while america tries to secure the lower half okay greenland is a national security priority
01:44:23.600
and it is aimed to deter our adversaries in the atlantic china and russia
01:44:33.620
if this is successful the western hemisphere completely change it changes china you're not
0.97
01:44:42.780
going to sell it to china harder for russia to penetrate harder for cartels to dominate
01:44:47.480
more economically integrated around american industry and security
01:44:52.320
more manufacturing pulled closer to home more supply chains running through north america instead of
01:44:59.320
across the hostile oceans more energy leverage inside our own sphere less vulnerability
01:45:05.880
to distant choke points more jobs tied to production here in america shipping refining
01:45:12.140
logistics defense infrastructure all of that over time if it actually stabilizes the hemisphere
01:45:19.900
it would mean lower structural costs not not lower because washington waves of one lower because
01:45:26.960
what is he what is he really taking on what's he really taking on in iran
01:45:33.320
chaos chaos is the enemy i used to say this all the time on fox chaos is the operative word anything
01:45:43.160
that adds to the chaos get away from it because the author of all chaos you know it is chaos he is
01:45:49.320
fighting chaos chaos in iran by the strait of her moves is really expensive chaos at the border is
01:45:57.040
really expensive cartel power that's chaos expensive chinese leverage over our ports and
1.00
01:46:03.060
infrastructure expensive fragile supply chains expensive war risk shipping expensive energy
01:46:10.060
insecurity expensive stability lowers cost order lowers costs shorter supply chains lower cost you
01:46:19.740
see how this is beginning to see if you see the bigger picture it's not happening because they have
01:46:24.400
a magic wand and he can fix things overnight he's trying to fix them not only for us but for our
01:46:30.920
children that's what's happening this is all a long-term plan he's got four years to complete
01:46:39.100
it and convince you that it's the right thing to do not sure that can be done but i hope people begin
01:46:45.720
to see the bigger picture because it's the first plan i've seen that actually could work and save the
01:46:50.220
republic um international fellowship of christians and jews um wants to remind you that there's sirens

01:48:41.040
international women's day i've already put my tree up uh i've got the gifts everything ready to go so
01:48:47.880
it's it's beautiful anyway um i had ali bestucky on she was our podcast uh this weekend and she talked
01:48:55.480
about uh progressive christianity and i said you know there's a lot of talk about this especially
01:49:01.280
with james tallarico becoming the texas senate candidate for the uh democrats uh the democrats um
01:49:07.680
and she said this about progressive feminism listen to this well i don't think that we need
1.00
01:49:16.100
feminism i think we need christianity and i think christianity is what gives us this what was seen as
01:49:23.360
like a radical view of women this radical respect of women and that you know we we see we hear these
01:49:30.500
critics of the bible say well the bible is just compiled by these misogynistic men and that's why it
01:49:35.260
says the wives should submit to husbands but if that's true the writers of the gospels didn't have
01:49:39.960
to include all of these beautiful moments that jesus had with women the woman of the night washing
01:49:45.380
his hair or his feet with her hair the bleeding woman who touched him to be healed we didn't have
01:49:52.680
to honor mary we didn't have to hear about mary magdalene we didn't have to know about the woman at
01:49:56.680
the well who was brought to repentance by jesus paying attention to her but we did and we hear about
01:50:02.340
all of these women who played a part in the genealogy of jesus and bringing the message of
01:50:07.400
the gospel and even in that passage that i referenced in ephesians 5 where it says wives
01:50:11.960
submit to your husbands it also says husbands love your wives as christ loved the church and gave himself
01:50:17.040
up for her wow that was different at the time when men the patriarchs were given all of the rights
01:50:23.840
women were basically treated as property and their christianity comes in and says no no no
0.78
01:50:28.540
she's also an image bearer of god she also is a vessel of the gospel you have to love her and
01:50:34.160
cherish her to the point that you're willing to die for her just as christ died for the church
0.95
01:50:38.280
that was radical that changed how the world saw women christianity changed how the world saw
0.52
01:50:43.020
children all vulnerable groups i think we need more of that feminism well it may have had some good
1.00
01:50:49.540
intentions and some people say it had some pragmatic reasons it's given us abortion it's given us hormonal
01:50:55.940
birth control it's given us transgenderism it's confused us about the difference between a man
0.92
01:51:01.220
and a woman biologically but also socially um i think it's done more harm than good it's killed our
0.91
01:51:06.360
birth rate too right this is an amazing podcast that you should uh listen to i don't i don't understand
01:51:14.720

0.81
01:51:20.980
married twice so listen to me i have twice the experience you might have if you've only been married once

01:55:19.220
rip the band-aid off oh geez if you're watching i'm sorry i'll i mean i got look if you're watching
0.67
01:55:26.480
this show for good looks you're crazy uh i mean i'm riddled with face cancer and like i've got i had a
01:55:35.620
band-aid that keeps coming off it looks like skin is coming off it's not it's just a band-aid that keeps
0.83
01:55:39.620
coming off of my face i am i am a combination it's like if the portrait of dorian gray and phantom of
01:55:47.480
the opera had a child that would be me it's not going to get better as i age sorry gang i love that
01:55:54.520
you're you're a man of no vanity look at me uh let's get back to some serious stuff pawn sniper is
01:56:02.260
greenland still in play no i think we have that lockdown wow why um because i don't think i don't
01:56:10.480
i don't think trump was fooling around with that i haven't heard the final deal but i believe that
01:56:15.000
deal is being made um he's not the reason why that's not going to be in play one way or another
01:56:20.760
that's not going to be in play is nato is over and he knows that he knows that europe is going to fall
01:56:26.500
and nato is over we have no reason to be in bed with nato right now they are buying their oil from
01:56:33.040
russia while we're protecting them from russia they are not defending the uh the values that
0.62
01:56:40.520
you know nato is supposed to defend you know free speech non-authoritarianism all of that stuff
01:56:47.840
they are way down that road um and we just don't need to defend them anymore we've got our own thing
01:56:54.760
let's let's take care of our own thing we're not enemies but we're not going to get into a war with
01:57:00.580
that that's an old allyship and the thing to make sure that we could protect nato is greenland
01:57:08.260
and you have to have greenland especially if you're looking at the future for the next 100 years which
01:57:15.100
trump is that that is the problem he is doing such big things that most people won't even realize
01:57:21.840
if we don't lose the next election because if we lose the next election a lot of this stuff is just
01:57:27.640
going away and they'll i mean it'll be horrible but if we don't lose the next election if this stuff
01:57:32.960
can hold for another six to eight years you won't be able to reverse it and uh and you will see
01:57:41.420
the benefits of what he's doing the problem is it's not a quick fix he's not just giving you
01:57:47.200
because he knows this is structural what the reason why we're in decline is it's all structure
01:57:53.440
we have to change the structure to fix the problems that you feel every day at the gas pump in your
01:58:00.080
schools and everything else um and so uh these things he's getting them done quickly but it's going
01:58:07.880
to take time to see the benefits so i just hope that we don't change course before we actually get to
01:58:14.260
see the benefits of it another foreign policy question from a torch insider is cuba going to
01:58:18.640
be opened up to trade and free people yes and i think it's happening soon jason and i you want to
01:58:24.120
talk about buying cars jason and i we we got to get it we got to get down there as soon as that thing
01:58:28.740
goes we got to go i want one for the museum i want to find a cuban car that is in perfect condition
01:58:35.360
because they have put it together with scotch tape and chewing gum for the last 80 years there hasn't
01:58:42.200
been a new car in cuba forever so they have all these 1950s beauties down there i mean the museum
01:58:49.120
has to have one just because the uh the uh tale that it tells but the people were out on the streets
01:58:55.580
this weekend with signs down with communism i mean they are not afraid of this regime ish ish they know
01:59:04.720
that trump is paying attention uh and you know marco rubio you want to put marco rubio on this one
01:59:12.720
he oh he's gonna he's motivated for regime change in uh cuba okay this is a question from me why does
01:59:21.100
it benefit us if cuba's regime falls they they're kind of an isolated island they don't really talk to
01:59:27.980
us much you know simple again i go back to what i said a little while ago chaos everything that he
01:59:35.460
is trying to stop first is stop the chaos that is a beachhead for russia for china for extremism
0.99
01:59:44.080
uh it's you know people are going from iran to venezuela to cuba um i mean he is he is trying to
01:59:52.440
stop all of the chaos from happening and this this insidious network of some of these countries
02:00:02.200
that were aligned with china and and russia that don't wish us well so the first thing that happens
02:00:09.840
is um is the end of chaos that's going to depend a lot on what mexico does and what we have to do to
02:00:17.080
mexico but i think this is a great step the other is it seems to be maybe i'm wrong but it seems to be
02:00:24.180
a pretty easy fix for democracy freeing people do you mad can you imagine you imagine what happens if
02:00:33.380
cuba opens up how that will just change the northern hemisphere i mean the free people all of the all of
02:00:43.460
the investment that would go down there you know just think about your vacation what a great place to
02:00:49.280
vacation uh afterwards but you know it's all about ending the chaos ending the suffering of these people
02:00:57.160
um putting socialism again out of its ever-loving misery in a country that has had that since the 1950s
02:01:06.960
it doesn't work and unfortunately you know it's not going to teach the left the left any reasons
02:01:14.180
if anything you'll have more people coming from cuba that i'd like to hire as teachers
02:01:18.980
and say hey can you teach the spanish in these so you're there saying oh and by the way i'm from
02:01:25.740
cuba this was a nightmare stop with the socialism nonsense i wouldn't mind that all right back in just a
02:01:32.040
minute our sponsor is relief factor if you know somebody you love and they are in pain you do just
02:01:39.700
about anything you know to get them out of it right you look for answers you try different solutions
02:01:45.040
until you found something that actually helped because when you care about some somebody their
02:01:50.200
comfort matters their their happiness matters they're getting them out of pain matters this was
02:01:55.460
my wife this is my wife's story um she was um not willing to tolerate things i had just said i just
0.98
02:02:03.460
this way it's going to be and she's like no it's not and so we tried absolutely everything to get me
02:02:09.080
out of pain relief factor uh was the one that did it for me it broke the back of my pain it it was
02:02:14.920
really it was a miracle um it breaks the back of inflammation and it's all natural so it's not
02:02:21.980
something that covers you take it every day and it just boosts your body's ability to stop with uh
02:02:28.680
inflation and break that inflation that's the cause of most of our pain and most of our disease as well
02:02:33.720
get the quick start trial it's a three-week quick start you take it for three weeks if it's not working
02:02:38.480
for you stop taking it if it is showing any signs believe me continue to take it 1-800-4-RELIEF
02:02:45.480
1-800-4-RELIEF or go to relieffactor.com big tech wants clicks we want connection
02:02:55.000
there's a big difference glenn beck will be back after this
02:03:15.480
getting ready for a game means being ready for anything like packing a spare stick i like to
02:03:21.660
be prepared that's why i remember 988 canada's suicide crisis helpline it's good to know just
02:03:27.840
in case anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder
02:03:32.620
anytime 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in canada
02:03:37.580
can i can i ask what the definition of racism really is i mean i i really don't know because
02:03:58.820
i'm seeing so many things that are just so racist um and i'm like wait isn't that isn't that what
0.94
02:04:05.540
racism is when you just kind of categorize everybody as really really stupid or you know
0.98
02:04:11.760
you know they're the crime builders or whatever it is um last week was the last week of the week
0.99
02:04:18.880
before newsome comes out and he says you know i'm just like you i was a dummy in school i had you know
02:04:25.920
i had an sat score of i don't remember what he said 900 and basically what he was saying was
0.58
02:04:32.520
none and he said i can't read either so you're saying to a group of black people that
02:04:41.400
they can't read uh okay wow how racist is that and then joe biden does the same thing except in
02:04:52.320
the opposite direction here he is at jesse jackson's funeral listen to this if i told you all earlier
02:04:57.420
when i was a kid i had a cleft palate or club foot none of you would have laughed but it's okay to
02:05:04.140
laugh at stuttering i'm not being critical of you but think about it it's the one place where people
0.99
02:05:09.980
think you're stupid oh really i'm a hell of a lot smarter than most of you all kidding aside
1.00
02:05:18.460
no all kidding aside i am you're black i'm white uh i'm a lot smarter than you oh my gosh these guys
