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

00:02:47.340 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.

00:03:11.380 Glenn Beck is on.

00:03:12.860 Glenn Beck is on.

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

00:04:37.840 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

00:20:42.960 ifcj.org, 10-second station ID.

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

00:40:49.220 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 declarations and big moments in history, and that's all good. But there's another group of

00:42:48.560 people who built this country, too. People who never signed a document. They just showed up before

00:44:29.820 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:33.740 Glenn Beck is on.

00:44:36.600 Hello, America.

00:44:38.020 Welcome to the program.

00:44:39.260 Thank you for being here today.

00:44:41.360 You know, it's easy to say, gosh, when did it become so hard to be an American?

00:44:46.860 I just want to go back to normal.

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.

00:44:58.920 But you know what?

00:44:59.960 We had a period of about 30, 40 years where we didn't deal with it.

00:45:03.800 And that's what caused all of this.

00:45:06.000 We weren't paying attention.

00:45:07.420 This is the way I think life is supposed to be when it comes.

00:45:10.740 I mean, we're in crisis center right now.

00:45:13.220 But you have to pay attention.

00:45:15.340 So thank you for being here.

00:45:16.840 Thank you for paying attention.

00:45:18.760 Our nation is in real trouble.

00:45:21.180 You know that.

00:45:22.220 But what is your job as a citizen?

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.

00:45:46.200 We'll do that here in 60 seconds.

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.

00:45:54.460 We work all day.

00:45:55.520 We stay connected in the evening.

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.

00:46:04.240 You're thinking about tomorrow.

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.

00:46:13.460 Your body needs rest.

00:46:49.800 You have so much you're dealing with every day.

00:46:53.540 And I know it.

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.

00:47:15.720 I mean, AI comes in.

00:47:17.080 Do you even have time to think about AI?

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.

00:47:35.160 Well, that would be nice.

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

00:47:48.020 Okay.

00:47:48.340 That's what you're doing every single day.

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.

00:48:04.740 What does all that mean?

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?

00:48:17.600 Nobody really knows, but we do know this.

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.

00:48:56.180 Do you remember this chalkboard?

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,

00:49:17.500 work together to overturn stability.

00:49:20.340 Let it be my tombstone.

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

00:54:25.680 they were executed and they were tortured

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

00:57:07.720 so let me say something really super clear

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

00:57:30.840 but it's happening

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

00:57:47.700 and that openness cannot mean blindness

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

00:58:12.920 enough is enough

00:58:15.980 this isn't about your religion it's not about your race

00:58:21.020 ideology matters

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

00:58:35.360 iran learned that lesson in 1979

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

00:58:50.100 no if not hatred hatred gratuitous

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,

00:59:27.960 no matter what side.

00:59:29.080 It means having the courage to discuss the problem honestly,

00:59:32.660 even when it's uncomfortable.

00:59:34.640 Because the most dangerous moment any civilization ever faces

00:59:40.300 is not when the extremists appear,

00:59:44.680 because the extremists have always been here.

00:59:46.200 They've always existed.

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.

00:59:56.300 That's how societies drift into disaster.

01:00:00.700 And we cannot.

01:00:02.060 It's not too late to pull back on the reins, but it is growing late.

01:00:07.840 The stakes are not politics.

01:00:09.640 It's not.

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

01:00:18.020 with certain inalienable rights.

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.

01:00:36.800 No, that's not the problem.

01:00:38.420 Because you know who gave me those rights?

01:00:39.960 That's God.

01:00:40.820 So how are you telling me that God is against me having rights?

01:00:45.940 Doesn't really work, does it, Satan?

01:00:48.420 Oh, gosh.

01:00:49.280 Let me add one thing to this.

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

01:01:18.800 Marxist, you think you're so smart. 0.97

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.

01:01:31.620 But I will tell you this.

01:01:33.760 He's the nexus.

01:01:36.300 He's the nexus.

01:01:37.900 He's the one that can put them both together.

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

01:01:50.760 Both need to be stopped. 0.66

01:01:52.420 Back in just a minute.

01:01:53.320 Realestateagentsitrust.com is my company.

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.

01:03:07.600 Torch Insiders.

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

01:03:26.340 Today, I have a podcast that I'm recording.

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?

01:03:51.680 We'll start 1215, and then that will happen.

01:03:54.840 We'll sit down.

01:03:55.600 You'll see all the behind the scenes stuff, and then the actual podcast.

01:03:59.760 You'll be able to get it for free.

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.

01:04:15.720 So make sure you join us right after the show.

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.

01:05:04.820 Join us.

01:05:05.780 Get this today, live, right after this broadcast.

01:05:09.840 That will begin at 12 Eastern.

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.

01:05:40.980 She doesn't know what to do.

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.

01:05:58.760 It's information.

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.

01:06:17.320 $28 provides one ultrasound.

01:06:19.520 $140 helps five mothers, and every dollar goes to help save babies and moms and gives them hope.

01:06:26.680 Hit pound 250, say the keyword baby.

01:06:28.580 Pound 250, keyword baby.

01:06:31.100 Torch Insider just wrote in,

01:06:32.920 The torch is making it hard for me to get anything else done.

01:06:35.420 I'm loving all these extra features.

01:06:36.720 Don't miss out.

01:06:37.700 Glennbeck.com slash torch.

01:06:39.240 I want to talk to you about something that makes a lot of people very uncomfortable.

01:06:59.320 Makes me 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.

01:07:23.980 What the conservative movement actually is.

01:07:25.940 What America First actually means.

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.

01:07:32.220 It's not about names.

01:07:33.220 It's about principles.

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.

01:07:49.340 They love their families.

01:07:50.500 They can feel something in the world is profoundly wrong.

01:07:53.740 They don't really know what it is.

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.

01:08:06.100 And all of those things are real.

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.

01:08:34.680 And yet he's not obvious to a lot of people.

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.

01:08:46.480 And most people have never heard of him.

01:08:47.980 His name is Alexander Dugan.

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.

01:09:05.360 But it is actually real.

01:09:08.280 And let me get into that.

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.

01:09:26.820 I agree with all of that.

01:09:28.220 Um, because he talks about protecting tradition.

01:09:31.440 He talks about resisting global elites.

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?

01:09:53.240 Um, because that's how they get you.

01:09:55.600 Okay.

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.

01:10:08.420 His worldview is not about liberty.

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.

01:10:35.020 We must have that choice.

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.

01:10:49.220 Okay.

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

01:11:10.020 China leads to an Asian sphere.

01:11:12.700 And the West just collapses.

01:11:14.700 And liberal democracy disappears.

01:11:17.160 That's not what a conservative believes.

01:11:19.980 If you believe any of that stuff, you're not a conservative.

01:11:23.720 Okay.

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.

01:12:28.740 And his warning at the base is really simple.

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.

01:13:09.940 Um, I don't have time to get into all of 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?

01:13:29.560 There are a few warning signs.

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.

01:13:47.020 Second warning sign.

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.

01:13:58.080 So you remain in control.

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.

01:14:13.260 You're seeing this on the left.

01:14:15.760 It's grievance.

01:14:17.220 That is nothing but a grievance party.

01:14:19.620 Okay.

01:14:20.280 And solutions are no conversations are no longer about solutions.

01:14:25.840 Okay.

01:14:26.620 They're, they're just about grievance.

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.

01:14:48.740 Maybe I agree with you.

01:14:50.360 Do you have another solution?

01:14:52.440 What is your solution?

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.

01:15:05.540 And every disagreement is betrayal.

01:15:07.280 And suddenly the only thing holding the group together is resentment.

01:15:11.520 That's not a healthy political movement.

01:15:13.800 It's an emotional trap.

01:15:16.260 Once you start dividing and saying that person is a traitor.

01:15:19.680 So I don't want to talk about anybody.

01:15:21.880 I don't want to talk about names.

01:15:22.940 I want to talk about principles.

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.

01:15:33.680 That's it.

01:15:34.180 And when anger is the foundation, it can be steered anywhere.

01:15:39.160 And history, again, shows it clearly.

01:15:41.640 The American experiment is the only one. 0.69

01:15:44.520 France did it with anger.

01:15:46.060 We didn't.

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.

01:16:01.100 Those ideas are super fragile.

01:16:03.680 And we only survive if we defend those, even when we're frustrated, when the world feels chaotic.

01:16:13.660 Be careful, please.

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.

01:16:27.980 You will end up being on the wrong side.

01:16:31.980 You won't even notice it.

01:16:34.420 Things are going to become so fuzzy, so murky, so easily sold.

01:16:41.080 Be careful.

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.

01:17:01.040 Let me end where I began here on this.

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.

01:17:18.440 It's all real.

01:17:20.520 You have a reason to be very concerned.

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.

01:17:53.980 That's the line we cannot ever, ever cross.

01:17:57.860 And if somebody is only giving you anger, question them.

01:18:03.900 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.

01:18:23.260 But a lot of people don't.

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.

01:18:54.860 Here's what we should be doing.

01:18:56.300 Or I vehemently disagree with this war.

01:18:58.940 But that's because we missed this opportunity.

01:19:03.020 We should have done X, Y, or Z.

01:19:05.140 And it's not too late.

01:19:09.400 Where are those people?

01:19:12.900 I'm so sick and tired of hearing, it's Trump's fault.

01:19:16.080 Or it's the Democrats' fault.

01:19:18.440 I don't care anymore.

01:19:20.080 I don't care anymore.

01:19:21.240 I just want a solution.

01:19:22.980 But when you get to that point, somebody will come to you with something that sounds really super sweet.

01:19:35.040 Listen carefully.

01:19:37.760 Because there are sharks all over the water.

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.

01:19:57.760 Back in just a second.

01:20:01.080 When was the last time you really knew your financial house inside and out?

01:20:06.260 19.

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.

01:20:26.000 It's been a while.

01:20:27.280 You're not alone.

01:20:28.540 Life moves really fast.

01:20:30.120 You set up mortgages years ago.

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?

01:20:42.840 There might be.

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.

01:21:06.780 No upfront fees to find out if you qualify.

01:21:08.780 Just call them, tell them your situation, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

01:21:33.520 Raising good kids takes the same kind of love.

01:21:38.580 More Glenn Beck, next.

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.

01:22:10.200 Here is his answer.

01:22:11.780 Go on.

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.

01:22:21.900 Again, you were talking about knowledge.

01:22:24.040 That can't be bombed out of existence.

01:22:26.120 So how do you stop it?

01:22:27.100 A diplomatic agreement.

01:22:28.740 We had a diplomatic agreement.

01:22:30.200 Barack Obama negotiated an agreement in which Iran was more than a year away from getting a weapon.

01:22:36.020 We had daily inspections scouring the country.

01:22:39.100 It was working.

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.

01:22:57.820 Okay, well, that is another look at it.

01:23:01.200 Barack Obama, his strategy was working in Iran.

01:23:04.240 Oh, okay.

01:23:05.720 All right.

01:23:06.320 Let's send him some more pallets of cash.

01:23:08.080 Uh, let's see how that works out.

01:23:09.860 Um, you know, maybe, maybe don't think so.

01:23:13.540 You know, maybe it's just me.

01:23:15.120 No, it's not me.

01:23:16.320 It's also the UAE.

01:23:18.300 It is also Oman.

01:23:20.180 It is also Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Israel.

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.

01:23:35.360 All right.

01:23:36.080 What should we do?

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.

01:24:14.640 And that is the title of your home.

01:24:17.000 Criminals can forge documents.

01:24:18.740 Um, they can file them online.

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.

01:24:36.700 You didn't even know it was happening.

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

01:27:53.500 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

01:28:47.840 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

01:29:51.780 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 stored at their home i'm one of them the kits are designed for long-term storage easy preparation real

01:39:24.400 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

01:41:04.660 all of those crisis becoming permanent enough

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

01:42:30.460 that's not subtle diplomacy

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

01:43:55.060 he took on the oil regime of iran

01:43:58.440 greenland same thing

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

01:44:29.840 so what is the big picture here

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

01:46:56.800 going off in the middle east and especially in israel about 40 times a day you know you're helping

01:47:02.600 your child with dinner finishing homework whatever you're just sitting down after a long day and then

01:47:07.080 the siren goes off and it's the 37th time of the day you don't have the luxury to wonder what it means

01:47:16.040 they know it means missiles means you have to move right now parents grab their kids neighbors shout to

01:47:22.760 one another people head for the nearest shelter fast but there are also people who can't move fast

01:47:28.100 the elderly woman who lives alone the man who needs a walker the grandparents who are doing their best

01:47:32.700 just to get across the room before the siren stops echoing the international fellowship of christians

01:47:37.200 and jews is there working on the ground to bring food emergency supplies and care for people who are

01:48:33.720 international uh women's day which is very exciting to me honestly it's very exciting because uh

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

01:55:39.620 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

02:04:41.400 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

02:05:25.840 the arrogance check the whiteness at the door uh really uh check the ego at the door what the hell 0.98

02:05:32.700 did that have to do with jesse jackson you know i don't know he might have said jesse jackson at some

02:05:38.140 point i just couldn't watch it but you see jesse jackson jr it excoriated bill clinton and biden and
