The Glenn Beck Program - The Iran Strategy that No One Is Talking About ｜ Guest Host： Justin Barclay ｜ 3⧸5⧸26

00:00:00.000 When you let arrow truffle bubbles melt, everything takes on a creamy, delicious, chocolatey glow.

00:00:06.340 Like that pile of laundry. You didn't forget to fold it.

00:00:09.240 Nah, it's a new trend. Wrinkled chic.

00:00:12.120 Feel the arrow bubbles melt. It's mind-bubbling.

00:00:15.120 Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. 0.99

00:00:17.880 We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

00:00:24.160 We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

00:00:28.940 But to keep this fight going, we need you.

00:00:31.620 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

00:00:35.280 Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

00:00:44.100 This isn't a podcast. This is a movement. And you're part of it. A big part of it.

00:00:48.940 So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

00:00:54.040 Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference.

00:00:57.360 And thanks for standing with us.

00:00:58.940 Now let's get to work.

00:01:28.940 Glenn Beck is on.

00:01:31.280 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:01:47.780 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:51.700 Glenn Beck is on.

00:01:53.700 Well, hello, America. It's not Glenn. It is Justin in for Glenn today.

00:01:59.280 And we're still going to have a heck of a ride.

00:02:02.300 I mean, the news never stops.

00:02:03.560 I took a week off last week.

00:02:06.460 The free state of Florida.

00:02:08.060 I've got some observations from that.

00:02:09.780 But one of the biggest is that, gosh, you know, the news never stops and we've got it.

00:02:14.820 So we're here for you today to make sure we keep you up to speed with all the news that you need to know.

00:02:20.920 And it's breaking even as we speak, making history with what's happening in Iran.

00:02:25.860 Of course, the latest piece of that with the submarine torpedoes away.

00:02:30.700 You're going to want to hear that coming out.

00:02:32.020 We're going to get into that. 0.79

00:02:32.860 Plus, he's the only Democrat in the Senate that has any sense and has brain damage.

00:02:40.020 That's why we're going to talk about what Fetterman's done now and more all on the way this hour.

00:02:47.140 And as we gear up for a fantastic program, it's always an honor and a pleasure to be here with you today.

00:02:51.600 Justin Barclay in for Glenn Beck today on the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:58.920 We have all become completely desensitized to the dozens of notifications on our phone every single day.

00:03:06.580 We're all just too busy, too active to react anymore.

00:03:09.400 But what if that ignored ping was from your security camera?

00:03:12.440 Picture this.

00:03:12.920 Somebody's breaking in, but you're giving a huge presentation at work.

00:03:15.980 You're at the movies.

00:03:16.640 You're on a flight 30,000 feet.

00:03:18.220 You'll see the footage in a couple of hours, but by then it's too late.

00:03:20.900 That's why I have SimpliSafe.

00:03:23.240 I've chosen SimpliSafe for my family because it is a customizable whole home security system

00:03:28.020 backed by 24-7 monitoring agents that can act even when I can't.

00:03:32.500 SimpliSafe is so confident that you're going to love it, they don't lock you into a contract,

00:03:36.080 and they back it with an anti-theft guarantee.

00:03:39.020 Other security companies will trap you.

00:03:40.800 SimpliSafe earns your trust every single day.

00:03:43.540 It's no wonder millions trust SimpliSafe and why U.S. News & World Report just named SimpliSafe

00:03:48.120 the best home security system once again in 2026.

00:03:51.800 Right now, you can get 50% off a new system by visiting SimpliSafe.com slash Beck.

00:03:56.980 That's SimpliSafe.com slash Beck.

00:03:59.040 There is no safe like SimpliSafe.

00:04:01.080 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today, coming to you from, well, it's not necessarily frozen today,

00:04:11.940 but it has been the frozen tundra of Michigan.

00:04:15.520 We got rain today, but, you know, the interesting thing is I was just down in Florida,

00:04:21.020 in the free state of Florida.

00:04:21.940 I got some observations, spending some time in Fort Myers and the fantastic affiliate there, 92.5,

00:04:30.960 and you got a chance to listen to that stage.

00:04:33.760 What a great place.

00:04:35.240 Man, Florida is red.

00:04:37.260 And, yes, it's conservative, but even bigger than that, it's on fire.

00:04:41.020 It's booming in ways that states like Michigan and, of course, People's Republic of California

00:04:47.200 and some of these others just aren't.

00:04:48.580 And I've got some observations of that I want to share with you today

00:04:53.100 because there's things that I think we can learn from the standpoint nationwide,

00:04:57.360 state by state, that I think are really going to make a difference.

00:05:01.100 And, you know, I just, it was hard.

00:05:06.120 It was almost hard to come back.

00:05:07.200 So it's no wonder why folks are moving there in droves and businesses, too.

00:05:10.560 In fact, we're going to talk with somebody a little bit later on in the program,

00:05:14.540 one of the mayors there, who's seeing it happen in real time right now.

00:05:18.580 And he's going to kind of give us a little bit of an insight on that.

00:05:22.580 We're going to talk a little bit about, obviously, what's happening around in the situation

00:05:27.060 that continues to develop, history being made,

00:05:31.340 some of the pieces that you may not even heard.

00:05:33.600 We've got some pieces of polling that I want to talk about, too.

00:05:36.460 In fact, there's some things that came out in the last day or so that I think help us

00:05:41.800 make a little bit better sense of what's happening, at least politically.

00:05:49.140 And that is one of the biggest pieces, specifically as we get into the midterms here.

00:05:59.180 And folks really look at what, we'll talk about Texas, too, what just happened there and more.

00:06:04.400 But that's something that I think has to be examined.

00:06:09.380 And then, of course, the War Powers Act, the vote that took place yesterday.

00:06:12.860 But what about the SAVE Act?

00:06:15.660 And did they ever find Nancy Gossery?

00:06:18.520 That's just how fast the news moves now.

00:06:21.180 And I hate to say it, but it's just coming at you every day.

00:06:24.340 I say on my program, it's like drinking from a firehouse.

00:06:26.660 You can't, it's just never, we never have enough time to keep up with it all.

00:06:31.440 And what is it doing to our brains, by the way?

00:06:35.240 I mean, what, what, what is the, is the human brain meant to take in all the information

00:06:41.080 that we're getting on a daily basis?

00:06:44.000 And how do you, how do you survive that?

00:06:46.180 Really, it's about making sure that you cut through the noise.

00:06:49.100 You get straight to the heart of the matter or what matters most.

00:06:52.100 We're going to attempt to do some of that today.

00:06:53.560 And I know this Glenn does that on a daily basis.

00:06:56.020 So we will, we'll dive in.

00:06:57.820 First, I want to start with some of the latest polling that's come out.

00:07:02.960 And I talked about this yesterday on my program in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

00:07:08.540 I am at Wood Radio, News Radio 1300 and 106.9 FM.

00:07:14.500 And I noted this because I've seen some of this flying around and I've seen the conversation,

00:07:19.080 probably the same that you have.

00:07:20.380 All the, the MAG is done.

00:07:25.700 You know, there's no support for what's happening in Iran right now.

00:07:29.260 It's just the end of the world.

00:07:30.420 You've seen it.

00:07:31.100 It's doom and gloom.

00:07:31.940 Sky is falling.

00:07:32.700 Chicken little black pill.

00:07:33.740 This is all the things that, that you see.

00:07:35.980 And it's all coming from the same people.

00:07:37.520 By the way, it's every subject.

00:07:39.560 You ever notice this?

00:07:40.580 It's every subject, every story.

00:07:42.460 It's the same thing.

00:07:44.220 And I, I mean, I don't know how to shake it other than to tell you that if you're watching

00:07:51.480 it, if you're seeing it happening, you don't necessarily feel the same way.

00:07:54.700 Don't let it infect you because that's exactly what some of this is.

00:07:59.000 A little bit of a mind virus.

00:08:02.200 I'd like to sort of, I can pull the curtain back that and explain how that works.

00:08:08.320 But first, let me give you the polling.

00:08:10.340 So this is essentially, and there's several different polls, by the way, this is aggregated.

00:08:18.200 I've seen this put together in a number of different places, but it was my, it was my

00:08:23.840 initial gut reaction when I saw some of this coming out.

00:08:26.060 You know, I don't necessarily think, and it's Democrats, it's RINOs, it's some of the black 1.00

00:08:33.020 pill, doom and gloom folks that, that have, that have walked down this road.

00:08:37.660 Now I'm not, I won't tell you this at the same time.

00:08:39.660 But I'm not, as I mentioned these things, I'm not discounting that we are walking in

00:08:48.560 very, very critical times.

00:08:53.120 I'm not going to discount that we're in a crucial moment here, not just in the, in the

00:08:59.100 history of our nation.

00:09:00.060 As we come up to the 250th year celebration here on July 4th, we, we, we, we're in a very

00:09:07.100 precarious moment.

00:09:10.100 I don't have to tell you that.

00:09:11.520 You can feel it.

00:09:12.400 Everything that's led us up to this point.

00:09:17.540 And it's hard to, it's, it's really hard.

00:09:20.200 Sometimes you have to force yourself to go back and think of, even I want to talk about

00:09:23.600 this stuff on a daily basis, but you have to force yourself to go back and confront it.

00:09:27.880 Think about where we are and how we got here.

00:09:30.400 Think about what the last four years was like.

00:09:37.120 I mean, it was a dumpster fire.

00:09:39.100 That's putting it lightly.

00:09:41.580 On the daily.

00:09:42.560 The Biden administration, whoever was running autopilot, I don't know, at the end of the

00:09:48.080 day, they were doing everything they could and it warps speed to undo everything Trump

00:09:55.400 had done in his previous four years.

00:09:58.980 And the honest with you, I think that's the only reason why Americans woke up and felt

00:10:03.140 it got involved because it happens so fast.

00:10:06.760 Usually these progressives, they use the slow and steady wins the race.

00:10:13.000 Strategy.

00:10:15.040 It's slow and over time, like a frog in a boiling pot of water, they just gradually bring that

00:10:22.100 heat up and then eventually you turn around and you got men in the women's dressing rooms. 1.00

00:10:28.700 You got men, grown men with hair on their faces trying to change in the locker room with

00:10:33.940 your wife at the gym and they're trying to go in the bathroom with your daughter at the

00:10:40.380 grocery store.

00:10:42.560 Enough is enough is enough.

00:10:44.360 And the American people stood up and said, I can't do this anymore.

00:10:47.400 That's how fast it flew.

00:10:51.940 Anyway.

00:10:55.460 Don't forget how far we've come.

00:10:57.800 It is my conviction that we are in this moment for such a time as this, that the president,

00:11:19.140 Donald J.

00:11:20.180 Trump, his life was spared for the exact intersection in history where we're at right now.

00:11:28.900 There's no doubt about it.

00:11:30.440 Not when I saw it happen back July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.

00:11:36.080 And then when we find out the specifics of what actually happened and how, as my good friend

00:11:45.080 Pastor Lorenzo Sewell likes to call it, the millimeter miracle occurred.

00:11:48.860 You know, we're just millimeters away from a completely stark different reality that we,

00:11:58.660 we, I don't even want to imagine what it would have been like.

00:12:04.000 Why do I mention all of this?

00:12:06.860 Because it's important to lay the groundwork as we look every day at what we faced and how

00:12:11.520 fast the Trump administration is moving, what they're doing.

00:12:14.480 Will they break things?

00:12:15.580 Will they always get it right?

00:12:16.680 Yeah.

00:12:16.820 Now there's probably going to be some times where maybe, maybe they make some mistakes.

00:12:23.380 Why am I willing to forgive that?

00:12:25.200 I'm not a Trump apologist, by the way.

00:12:28.160 I just see the bigger picture.

00:12:30.220 And that's why I just reminded you of it.

00:12:35.600 There are some folks that are missing the forest for the trees in this situation.

00:12:40.900 I think there's some folks that are missing the 30,000 foot viewpoint on all of this.

00:12:44.580 There are some folks who I agree with on quite a bit of few, actually quite a bit of things

00:12:49.980 that, and, and, and policies and principles.

00:12:52.420 And we, we, we agree with quite a bit on, on a lot of things, but they're missing.

00:12:57.260 And what they're missing is the lot of the, the thinking they do, a lot of the determinations

00:13:02.680 they do.

00:13:07.380 Well, it plays out great in the classroom, but when you get into the real world,

00:13:13.460 all bets are off.

00:13:20.580 So it is no doubt in my mind that we are where we are at right now

00:13:24.960 only because of the grace of God.

00:13:30.640 And folks, if we acknowledge that, I think we've got to acknowledge that wherever we go

00:13:35.040 forward will be only, but by the grace of God.

00:13:39.440 And this is something that I think we have unplugged from through the, the years.

00:13:46.820 And hopefully in, as we celebrate 250 years here in America, we can be reminded by that

00:13:54.000 and get back on track.

00:13:54.920 So why do I bring all of that up?

00:13:56.140 The polling is important.

00:13:58.780 MAGA unity polls show Republicans opposed to Trump's Iran strikes are loud, but small

00:14:06.460 minority.

00:14:06.940 In fact, I got the details here.

00:14:09.360 I want to dig into the numbers and tell you why I think this is important, why you need

00:14:12.880 to hear this.

00:14:14.940 And so you don't get sort of pulled by the nose, like I'm seeing happen in so many different

00:14:19.860 ways for so many different people right now.

00:14:24.380 Don't get pulled around by the nose, by social media, by algorithms, by billionaires who want

00:14:29.000 to, and insist on shaping the way, the world, the way they want it to go.

00:14:37.840 No, don't do that.

00:14:43.880 Lock in.

00:14:44.440 So let me get to those numbers.

00:14:49.800 We'll break it down for you.

00:14:51.100 Come on up here in just a little bit and tell you why I think this matters and what happens

00:14:55.240 next as we also do some breaking news here on the Iran situation.

00:15:00.220 We'll be back quick break.

00:15:01.500 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program right after this.

00:15:05.260 We'll be right back.

00:15:35.260 A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and is the only company I trust and recommend

00:15:38.860 if you're facing IRS trouble.

00:15:40.460 When you mention my name, Rush will provide a free IRS transcript investigation, a service

00:15:44.620 that other firms typically charge about 500 bucks for, often without even confirming that

00:15:48.760 they can help you or not.

00:15:49.760 Rush offers this upfront and for free, and they'll only take your case if they know they can help

00:15:54.580 you, period.

00:15:55.400 So don't wait or hope the problem disappears.

00:15:57.140 Get a Rush tax attorney and protect yourself today.

00:15:59.740 877-554-RUSH.

00:16:01.960 877-554-7874.

00:16:04.660 Or go to RushTaxResolution.com.

00:16:14.100 All right, let's get these numbers broken down as it were.

00:16:20.900 So we've been hearing about how unpopular everything.

00:16:23.260 In fact, there was a poll that came out the other day that said, this whole thing's unpopular.

00:16:26.920 It's only 27% of the people.

00:16:28.440 And I thought to myself, you know, it's actually a good warning sign for a lot of these folks

00:16:32.500 that are saying, yeah, this is the same old, same old, he said no more foreign wars and

00:16:36.780 no more this and no more that.

00:16:37.780 He's doing the same thing.

00:16:39.020 He's just in the Ocon. 0.90

00:16:40.040 All these people jumping ship on the Trump administration.

00:16:45.300 And I want to prove to you just with the polling numbers, that initial poll, why that's not

00:16:50.720 the case.

00:16:51.660 Think back to Iraq and, excuse me, Afghanistan and all of these others that they, through the 1.00

00:17:00.100 years, pushed us into.

00:17:01.840 There was a drumbeat of war that you couldn't ignore.

00:17:06.800 And the polling for that war, for sending our kids off, et cetera, the polling was much

00:17:14.320 higher.

00:17:14.680 In fact, that was the point of this poll that came out.

00:17:16.500 It was kind of the subheadline of it.

00:17:18.780 Well, this thing's not even as popular as the Iraq war.

00:17:21.920 But it's because the CIA and the government and everybody that does what they do behind

00:17:27.520 the scenes, along with the Mockingbird media, et cetera, they were busy.

00:17:32.420 They were busy behind the scenes, getting you all frothed up, foaming at them out, ready

00:17:37.300 for war.

00:17:37.840 That's not what happened here.

00:17:39.540 If we're going to believe what the Trump administration tells you, I have no reason not to.

00:17:44.660 This was an opportunity that presented itself.

00:17:48.300 They were in diplomatic negotiations.

00:17:50.700 Iran comes to the table and says, hey, we got all this. 0.78

00:17:55.020 We're going to make 11 nuclear weapons with what we got now.

00:18:00.680 Almost like they're bragging about it.

00:18:02.220 We got your number.

00:18:03.720 And so, can you imagine what that was like for folks sitting on the Trump side of things

00:18:09.280 in the United States here?

00:18:12.160 Iran thought that that would scare us away.

00:18:14.160 In fact, that actually scared us into action.

00:18:17.980 They realized we had to act.

00:18:19.320 And when we got the intelligence that the old Ayatollah was having a bombed brunch, well, 0.57

00:18:23.840 it wasn't getting bombed with mimosas.

00:18:25.620 It was something else that was raining from the sky that day.

00:18:31.060 It just happened.

00:18:32.520 And imagine the hubris those folks had to have. 0.98

00:18:38.100 It just so happened that they were able to make that strike and take out, what was it,

00:18:44.440 40, 50 people that day?

00:18:45.720 It's incredible.

00:18:46.200 So, yes, they constantly have war plans and plans of attacks and counterattacks and all

00:18:52.880 these things they have to do planned behind the scenes.

00:18:54.720 That's obvious.

00:18:55.960 And that's, you know, that's wise to do.

00:18:58.940 That's prudent.

00:18:59.460 But at the same time, this thing came out of the blue.

00:19:04.280 That's if we're to believe everything they told us.

00:19:06.100 And again, I don't have any reason not to.

00:19:07.440 But what I will tell you is this.

00:19:09.520 That, to me, tells us it's not the same old, same old, what you're watching here.

00:19:14.340 In fact, there's a different, the Don Road Doctrine, we've got other military, and we're

00:19:19.640 going to talk about this, too.

00:19:20.760 Military operations, he's got different strategies.

00:19:25.500 Trump, it seems like, if we're watching history, at least recent history, what he did in Venezuela,

00:19:30.580 goes in, surgically, strategic, pulls the trigger, and moves on.

00:19:40.920 Gets the job done.

00:19:44.300 Most folks, I think when they're asked about that, they're not really opposed to that.

00:19:48.660 Now, you don't want protracted, you don't want boots on the ground, you don't want Americans 1.00

00:19:51.900 in harm's way ever, but you definitely don't want Americans over there fighting.

00:19:57.140 And I get that.

00:19:57.920 I understand that.

00:19:58.800 I feel the same way.

00:20:00.580 But I don't think that's what we're watching right now.

00:20:02.240 And only time will tell.

00:20:03.080 We'll have to see how everything develops.

00:20:04.460 But at the end of the day, here's the thing.

00:20:08.080 We elected the guy.

00:20:10.420 And I don't know about you, but I hate to think of what it'd be like if Kamala Harris were the 0.97

00:20:13.680 president right now.

00:20:16.060 Can you even imagine?

00:20:19.880 So I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

00:20:21.560 I'm giving him the grace.

00:20:22.560 And I like what I see so far.

00:20:24.060 I'm just telling you, the other piece of this is another piece that we haven't really dug in

00:20:28.680 too much.

00:20:29.060 And maybe we'll do that coming up here in just a little bit.

00:20:31.020 But the other piece of this is what happens behind the scenes.

00:20:35.500 Yes, you have the people of Iran, Persia, etc.

00:20:38.560 Being liberated.

00:20:41.780 My heart just breaks for the things that they've gone through.

00:20:44.280 We've actually seen a Christian revival happening in that country in a lot of ways from the reports

00:20:48.180 we've seen.

00:20:49.900 Mosques being closed because people just don't show up anymore.

00:20:52.780 Some of the reports I've heard.

00:20:53.960 And that's fantastic.

00:20:57.360 So you've seen a lot of the pressure, the things happening behind the scenes as a resistance.

00:21:00.960 These folks have been fighting in ways that we've just we probably haven't heard.

00:21:04.940 But it's it's critical.

00:21:09.060 That's a great thing.

00:21:10.120 I love that.

00:21:12.560 I also love the fact that they're not going to be able to do any damage to this country

00:21:16.020 anymore.

00:21:17.880 If all of this goes through, we completely crippled their air defenses.

00:21:20.980 They're flying B-52s for the first time.

00:21:23.500 Over over.

00:21:24.500 And low flying drones because they've got no way to hit back. 0.94

00:21:29.520 It's incredible what they've done.

00:21:31.240 It's sunk all those Navy ships, the torpedo in the other day.

00:21:34.020 Yet we'll talk about that coming up here in just a little bit, too.

00:21:37.140 So taking out the threat to America and Americans. 0.88

00:21:41.860 From the folks.

00:21:42.760 I don't know about you, but I stand with the people who didn't chant death to America.

00:21:46.420 From the folks who chanted death to America.

00:21:49.680 When people say these things, you need to take them for their word, folks.

00:21:54.500 But there's one other piece of this, too, that's very important.

00:21:58.800 And it has to do with China.

00:22:00.760 So we'll talk about that coming up here in just a little bit as well.

00:22:03.720 I want to make sure that we get into it because it's one of the bigger pieces.

00:22:06.340 It's just it's quietly not being talked about behind the scenes as much as I think it deserves

00:22:12.100 a little bit more attention coming up on the program today.

00:22:16.500 Plus, I want to talk about that SAVE Act that's just sort of disappeared off the radar

00:22:20.040 as well.

00:22:20.440 There's a few of these stories that we need to check in on.

00:22:22.500 China.

00:22:22.940 Yeah, that's right.

00:22:23.880 We'll do it.

00:22:24.780 Coming up after this, the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:28.920 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today.

00:22:30.340 Love to connect with you at Mr. Justin Barkley all over social media.

00:22:34.300 JustinBarkley.com.

00:22:36.280 Back next in the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:37.920 You've been hearing about the struggles with the country's housing market for a couple

00:22:52.260 of years now.

00:22:53.020 Higher mortgage rates have led to stagnation and home sellers and buyers are sitting on the

00:22:57.740 sideline.

00:22:58.260 Well, the Fed has dropped the rates, but it really hasn't solved the issue home buyers and

00:23:02.300 sellers are facing.

00:23:03.300 And if you need to sell or buy a home, I strongly urge you to check out my company, realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:23:10.940 Our agents are remarkable.

00:23:12.800 And equally important is that they're just good and decent people.

00:23:16.000 They're like-minded.

00:23:16.880 They share your values, my values, and they excel in helping people when the market is

00:23:21.620 really tough.

00:23:22.440 Our network of agents has helped us have our best year ever in 2025.

00:23:26.960 We have served more of you than any other year since we started almost 15 years ago.

00:23:31.380 In fact, Tanya and I used our agents in Florida and in Texas to sell our home in Texas, buy

00:23:37.120 a home in Florida.

00:23:39.140 Just go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:23:41.220 We'll show you how to sell or buy a home even in this tough market.

00:23:45.460 The name says it all.

00:23:47.860 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:24:01.380 Back after it on the Glenn Beck program, Justin Barclay in for Glenn today.

00:24:14.860 And we still need to talk about this China piece.

00:24:20.080 Let me do that coming up here because I think this is the biggest, this is kind of the biggest

00:24:26.300 piece of the puzzle that a lot of people aren't talking about.

00:24:28.660 And what's actually getting done, just think about, just a little bit of a preview for

00:24:33.600 you, but just think about what's happened here in the first year of this Trump administration.

00:24:40.920 You have, well, number one, we get back to Panama Canal.

00:24:47.460 Number two, Venezuela, who knows how far Cuba is behind.

00:24:51.320 Now Iran. 0.96

00:24:52.460 If you look at what is happening, these are chess moves.

00:24:58.660 And President Trump is making the take away cheap oil from China.

00:25:07.400 Why does this matter?

00:25:09.440 That's what I want to get into and I want to dig in a little bit further because it's

00:25:12.200 the things you're not hearing about behind the scenes.

00:25:14.660 There's a lot of stuff that's loud out there right now.

00:25:16.820 And I get it.

00:25:21.380 There's a lot of stuff that even pulls me sometimes, pulls me, what is that?

00:25:25.420 Pulls me in that direction.

00:25:26.400 Am I being distracted from the distracted?

00:25:28.200 Let me get back from the distraction now.

00:25:30.040 I'm going to go back to my other distraction.

00:25:31.300 So that's part of what we have to sort of consider as we're watching all of these things and ask

00:25:37.160 the question, okay, what am I not hearing?

00:25:39.680 What do I need to pay a little bit more closer attention to?

00:25:45.700 Because you've got everybody yelling and screaming and does he have the power to do this?

00:25:50.620 Well, I mean, that's a whole other conversation and I say yes.

00:25:56.020 But I want to walk that out a little bit further before we're really going to go down that road.

00:26:00.080 In the meantime, what is he doing?

00:26:02.320 It all goes back to China. 0.89

00:26:05.800 It has to.

00:26:07.480 And if you put the pieces together, you start to see the picture getting a little more clear.

00:26:12.660 So one of the other things that we've completely forgotten and poor Nancy Guthrie, in the middle 1.00

00:26:21.360 of all of it, we were wall to wall with Nancy Guthrie.

00:26:23.440 Everybody was on Nancy Guthrie watching.

00:26:25.280 I pray they find her.

00:26:26.640 I mean, this is, we still don't have answers, right?

00:26:29.960 But you notice how fast you moved because they pulled you off of her?

00:26:34.320 We've even had some Epstein files to talk about in the middle of this.

00:26:37.300 We've got all these different things.

00:26:38.960 And everybody's wondering, well, what's the distraction?

00:26:40.700 Maybe I'm being, like I said, distracted from the distraction.

00:26:44.620 Anyway, what I'm saying is there are other things that need to happen.

00:26:47.420 We were full in save act mode.

00:26:51.980 We were full in save act mode.

00:26:53.580 Talking about the vote just took place.

00:26:55.180 Is it going to come up in the center?

00:26:56.340 Are they going to bring it up?

00:26:57.160 And, of course, to save America, we've got to make sure that these elections are overhauled.

00:27:03.460 We've got to make sure they're buttoned up.

00:27:04.840 And I don't care where you stand on 2020.

00:27:07.800 We don't even have to go back there to talk about.

00:27:10.460 But we've got to make sure that we're buttoned up and there is never even appearance of impropriety in our elections.

00:27:19.420 Lots of different ideas and ways of how we get there.

00:27:22.100 I personally love the ID.

00:27:24.680 I think you need to prove you're an American citizen.

00:27:26.620 I think if I need to show ID to buy some cold medicine at the drugstore, well, you ought to be able to find it and present it to vote.

00:27:37.040 I don't really think making it harder to vote is a bad thing in a lot of ways.

00:27:42.420 I just think there ought to be a little effort, especially if you consider what all went into founding this country and, of course, for keeping us free all of these years.

00:27:53.420 So, anyway, this is a massive piece of what needs to happen behind the scenes.

00:28:00.680 And we do have some updates on nationally what's happening.

00:28:04.080 But let's go to Georgia right now because they're looking at doing this, in fact, on a state level in Georgia, a state who's, let's be honest, no stranger to some shenanigans.

00:28:17.540 Craig joins us right now.

00:28:18.680 Craig Dolezal is in Georgia as we speak.

00:28:21.360 Craig looking at putting a piece of this together right now in Georgia.

00:28:24.760 And you're the state in Fulton County, Fannie Willis and the rest of it, of course.

00:28:31.280 How are your pipes doing this morning?

00:28:33.120 I probably should ask, Greg.

00:28:34.260 Are the pipes leaking there as everything could in Georgia this morning?

00:28:38.940 Justin, pipes only leak in November.

00:28:40.900 So we're good so far today.

00:28:43.760 This is incredible.

00:28:45.620 Well, you know, it's not much worse than what happened here in Michigan, you know, where I'm at, in Detroit, at the TCF Center at the time where they're counting these votes.

00:28:54.160 And the shenanigans start to happen.

00:28:56.020 They start putting pizza boxes up on the window.

00:28:58.660 I don't know about you, but nothing, nothing says transparency, like closing off the windows.

00:29:04.800 So people are trying to see what's going on inside where all this stuff is happening.

00:29:09.440 They can't see and their view is blocked.

00:29:11.940 It's incredible.

00:29:13.800 What's in your version of what you'd like to see happen in Georgia?

00:29:18.920 Yeah, I've got two bills in Georgia that will be on the floor of the state Senate tomorrow.

00:29:22.880 The first is the save amendment.

00:29:25.120 So we want to amend the Georgia Constitution to do what D.C. seems incapable of doing, which is to take a lead on voter ID in the Constitution, the state Constitution, and requiring people to prove that they're an American citizen to register to vote.

00:29:40.260 This should be low-hanging fruit, but it's going to be incredibly controversial.

00:29:43.660 I believe every Democrat will probably vote against the bill on the floor, just like they did in committee.

00:29:49.320 But the second piece of what I'll move to tomorrow is to get rid of the Dominion machines in Georgia and move to a hand-marked paper ballot so that we'll vote in Georgia the same way they vote in Florida, which is on a hand-marked paper ballot.

00:30:01.380 And then we put a number of other audit provisions and other kind of back-end election security into place.

00:30:08.020 The bill would levy significant fines on counties like Fulton County that refuse to clean their voter rolls.

00:30:14.660 I've traveled around Fulton County and done some X videos showing that we've got thousands of people illegally registered to vote in Fulton County using UPS stores, abandoned buildings, parking lots, homeless shelters that have been closed for a decade.

00:30:29.140 And Fulton County just refuses to clean up their voter rolls.

00:30:32.360 So we've got to put the force of law behind that to force their hand on cleaning those rolls. 1.00

00:30:38.020 Yeah, I mean, I couldn't agree more.

00:30:39.740 When you look at this and we've got the same problem here in Michigan, our Secretary of State, who I believe is one of the most lawless in the history of the state, she's been told a number of times by judges that she's breaking the law, breaking the law.

00:30:52.640 And she is.

00:30:53.280 One of the things that we go back to 2020 where she told them we had this massive, you know, these ballots coming in, absentee and whatnot, mail-in, in historic levels, she told the local clerks, the county clerk, you don't have to inspect those signatures on that debt.

00:31:08.480 Wouldn't that be the time you'd want to take a closer look just to make sure that everything's on the up and up?

00:31:14.440 So we've got that and we've got her padding the voter rolls, refusing to clean them up. 1.00

00:31:21.060 Many of the same problems you have.

00:31:22.660 Sounds like they're all running the same playbook.

00:31:25.820 Yeah, I do think it's the same playbook.

00:31:27.580 Like, you know, Fulton County currently, they're required by law to have two Republicans, two Democrats, and one person nominated by the Fulton County chairman on their board of elections.

00:31:40.220 So you're supposed to have essentially two, two, and one.

00:31:42.520 And the reality is in Fulton County, the one is always going to be a Democrat.

00:31:46.200 So they already have a three to two structural advantage on their county election board.

00:31:51.880 But they are refusing to confirm the appointment by the Republican Party of one of the Republican nominees.

00:31:59.840 So you've got now a three to one advantage because they refuse to seat one of the Republicans.

00:32:05.720 They've been ordered by a judge three separate times to seat the Republican.

00:32:09.960 They refuse to do it.

00:32:11.080 They've been fined by the courts $10,000 a day for refusing to seat the Republican.

00:32:18.220 And they still refuse to do it.

00:32:20.240 So this is banana Republic level stuff happening in Fulton County. 0.93

00:32:23.720 I've actually called on the state election board to take over the Fulton County elections because they refuse to follow the plain reading of Georgia law.

00:32:33.960 And we've got to restore confidence in these elections.

00:32:36.460 And we're, you know, we're one of these states that has, you've got essentially one massive city and then everyone else.

00:32:43.480 And that massive city for Atlanta being in Fulton County, that one county sways the election statewide.

00:32:50.680 And so if that county ignores the law, you really end up in a situation where no one trusts the outcome of the elections because Fulton County refuses to play by the rules.

00:33:00.880 Let me switch gears if I can just a little bit here because, Greg, you're in Georgia.

00:33:08.880 You're a state senator there.

00:33:10.720 You're also looking at proposing banning Sharia law there.

00:33:15.500 How bad is it in Georgia right now?

00:33:19.120 It's definitely not Michigan or Texas, but you do see attempts really in every state in the union to allow parallel legal systems through these tribunals.

00:33:31.120 And I introduced a law to ensure that we only have American laws in American, well, in Georgian courts.

00:33:37.020 And I think that's something we should be looking to do statewide because a lot of times, or sorry, nationwide, every state should be looking at doing this.

00:33:44.040 Because oftentimes what you see is a parallel legal system gets set up through these tribunals where they will adjudicate cases based on Sharia law.

00:33:53.720 And in some of those cases, the outcomes of the ruling will violate constitutional rights given specifically oftentimes to women under the United States Constitution that is not protected in Sharia law.

00:34:07.180 And so that is just the camel nose under the tent. 0.68

00:34:10.640 And we need to ensure that we push back against that injection of Sharia law into American courts in every state in the union. 0.99

00:34:18.980 Now, you are in Georgia right now.

00:34:22.960 You're also – did they see you qualified for a lieutenant governor?

00:34:28.080 I did.

00:34:28.560 Just qualified two days ago to run statewide in this year's election.

00:34:32.320 So how does it work, Terry?

00:34:34.720 It works a little bit differently here in Michigan, but you're on the ballot then?

00:34:40.620 You're on the ballot separate.

00:34:42.020 You guys may have like a co-ticket where the governor picks the lieutenant governor.

00:34:45.200 Yeah, we actually have two – it's a completely separate constitutional office.

00:34:49.480 So conceivably, you could have a scenario where the lieutenant governor and governor are from opposite parties.

00:34:56.820 And so I'm running for lieutenant governor, and I believe that we're in a fight to save Western civilization.

00:35:02.840 I think that we save the West by saving America.

00:35:05.340 And providentially, I think that we save America by saving Georgia.

00:35:08.780 Georgia is ground zero really for every nationwide election right now.

00:35:12.920 The control of the United States Senate runs through Georgia.

00:35:15.860 The road to the White House runs through Georgia.

00:35:18.020 Georgia, we've got – every single constitutional officer in Georgia is a Republican, and we've got two Democrat United States senators, largely due to what happened in the 2020 election.

00:35:29.100 And so we are a hinged state, I believe, in the fight to save the republic.

00:35:33.360 I don't have enough time to talk to you.

00:35:35.960 You sound like a very interesting individual, Greg.

00:35:37.980 And, you know, it's interesting, sir.

00:35:39.120 I just read in your bio, probably the piece that is one of the most interesting is that you spent 11 years working as a tour manager for Christian artist Chris Tomlin, who I'm familiar with.

00:35:53.540 That's got – I bet you've got some stories.

00:35:56.820 Man, I've got some stories.

00:35:57.900 I tell people I spent 10 years sleeping two feet away from Chris Tomlin, but we were in separate – we were separated by a curtain and a piece of plywood.

00:36:04.800 So nothing nefarious there, but, yeah, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to be on the road with Chris from 2005 to 2016, really, as his career was getting started and then was a rocket ship.

00:36:17.080 And got to see him share the gospel all over the world, and it was really, really a lot of fun.

00:36:22.540 Yeah, there's so much happening right now, even in Iran as we speak, as we've heard about Christian revival happening there and all over the place.

00:36:32.720 Well, I bet we could talk for hours about some of these things.

00:36:35.540 But thank you for taking the time.

00:36:36.940 Before I let you go, what's the best way people can catch up, maybe stay up to date with things that are happening, whether they're in Georgia or beyond with you?

00:36:44.180 Best option is Dolezal for GA on X.

00:36:47.700 That's where we're exposing all of the illegal shenanigans of Fulton County and a lot of the stuff that we're working on in real time.

00:36:54.980 We keep everybody updated there.

00:36:56.740 There you go.

00:36:57.180 Just gave you a follow myself.

00:36:58.820 Dolezal for GA.

00:37:00.040 Thank you, Greg.

00:37:00.620 Appreciate you being here with us today, Senator.

00:37:03.000 Thanks, Josh.

00:37:03.580 It was a pleasure.

00:37:04.420 You got it.

00:37:04.980 God bless.

00:37:06.200 Dolezal for GA.

00:37:07.400 That's D-O-L-E-Z-A-L for GA over on X. 0.99

00:37:13.300 Like I said, I want to talk about China.

00:37:19.000 I want to talk about what's really going on with some of the things we're watching in Iran.

00:37:24.740 And there's pieces of this that maybe we're not even privy to just yet.

00:37:28.900 We'll do just that.

00:37:29.820 But I felt it important at least to bring up the SAVE Act on a national level.

00:37:33.900 We'll get some updates on what's moving there.

00:37:36.360 But it is interesting to see that states are looking at some of these versions as well.

00:37:41.880 We need to have election integrity locked down.

00:37:46.380 And now more than ever, folks, as we continue to move into the future.

00:37:49.960 Look, I say this quite often.

00:37:52.380 Unfortunately, Republicans, folks on the right, I don't think want to save the country as much as Democrats, progressive and the left, mostly the radicals really, want to destroy it.

00:38:03.360 And it's time for us to get into action.

00:38:06.520 So we'll talk more about that coming up today on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:09.240 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today, back after this on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:15.940 You're going to have to hold that thought, my friend.

00:38:18.860 We got a schedule to keep back.

00:38:22.000 We'll be back.

00:38:33.360 We've all done it.

00:38:36.820 We tried to save a buck or two buying a knockoff that ends up being more costly to fix or replace.

00:38:41.500 Hopefully, we've learned in the end, knockoffs are not a good idea.

00:39:35.900 All right, we're talking oil prices.

00:39:50.500 In fact, that's some of what we have on the radar today to keep an eye on with everything that's happening, obviously, in Iran.

00:39:59.220 And I think it ties into China and what I want to talk about.

00:40:01.820 In fact, coming up, we'll do just that in the next hour.

00:40:06.860 But this is what the press secretary had to say about oil prices yesterday.

00:40:13.980 To your first question about oil prices, thank God we have a president who has exuded American energy dominance over the past year,

00:40:21.880 an administration that is wholeheartedly focused on keeping prices stable as best as we can.

00:40:27.380 Of course, this operation is temporary to protect the homeland, but crude oil prices did fall yesterday.

00:40:33.600 They remain stable today after the president announced steps to ensure the stability in global energy markets.

00:40:39.480 Again, those include the DEC offering reasonably priced political risk insurance and the potential for the U.S. Navy to provide protection for the flow of energy through the state through the Strait of Hormuz.

00:40:50.700 It is the president's belief and his economic team's belief that the economy continues to be very strong.

00:40:56.620 It's robust and will be able to weather any of the temporary impacts of Operation Epicure.

00:41:01.680 Now, we're talking oil here.

00:41:02.880 We're talking gas prices here in America.

00:41:04.860 And I know that matters to your wallet.

00:41:06.600 But guess who else that matters to?

00:41:08.820 China.

00:41:09.860 We'll talk about that and dig into why all of this, the secret reason maybe some of this is happening behind the scenes.

00:41:16.740 Next hour, Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:20.820 Back next.

00:41:21.600 Glenn Beck is on.

00:41:46.740 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:42:15.420 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:20.500 Glenn Beck is on.

00:42:22.640 Barkley in for back today on the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:25.580 And man, oh man, the news never stops.

00:42:28.940 That's why we've got the latest.

00:42:30.420 We're going to talk about what's happening around, of course.

00:42:32.220 I want to share with you what I think is really happening.

00:42:36.360 We're going to break down what you're not seeing behind the curtain.

00:42:39.000 Speaking of what's happening behind the curtain, you're about this vote that took place in Congress yesterday.

00:42:44.100 Well, the mainstream media really quiet on this one.

00:42:50.060 And they've got no excuse now talking about the Epstein files at all when they're held accountable for this vote.

00:42:57.020 We'll talk about that and more all coming up.

00:42:59.680 So strap in.

00:43:01.320 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

00:43:04.180 Somewhere, right now, there's a dog resting on a couch somewhere.

00:43:10.700 Not sick, not in crisis, just maybe a little slower than they used to be.

00:43:14.280 Maybe stiff getting up, maybe less excited at mealtime.

00:43:17.420 Most pet parents, you know, just assume that's just part of the dog getting older.

00:43:20.880 But what many pet parents don't realize is that a lot of dogs are missing key nutrition from their food.

00:43:26.460 And it just, their food doesn't provide it anymore.

00:43:28.780 That's why Rough Greens was created.

00:43:30.540 Rough Greens is a nutritional supplement that you sprinkle right on top of your dog's existing food.

00:44:13.000 Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything.

00:44:16.140 Like packing a spare stick.

00:44:17.920 I like to be prepared.

00:44:19.520 That's why I remember 988 Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline.

00:44:23.440 It's good to know, just in case.

00:44:25.040 Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a trained responder.

00:44:29.800 Anytime.

00:44:31.000 988 Suicide Crisis Helpline is funded by the government in Canada.

00:44:34.300 All right, so let me, if I may, get to some of the things that, this is one of my favorite things to talk about.

00:44:50.980 Pull the curtain back and show you how the sausage is made.

00:44:53.820 Get into some of these things.

00:44:55.020 And I think, again, you just don't hear or see on the nightly news.

00:45:02.280 You're just not going to hear, certainly not on MSDNC 13 or whatever they're calling it now.

00:45:08.640 You're just not going to see some of this.

00:45:10.220 And, you know, other than, obviously, Glenn and just a very few small places, you're not getting the full context, the full picture.

00:45:19.240 Justin Barclay, by the way, in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:22.220 You can find me at Mr. Justin Barclay all over social media.

00:45:26.260 JustinBarclay.com.

00:45:27.120 Love to hear from you, too.

00:45:28.080 You can email me, Justin, at JustinBarclay.com.

00:45:31.720 And love to chat.

00:45:33.340 I love hearing from folks.

00:45:34.720 This is the brightest audience in radio.

00:45:38.960 It's the torch burns brighter.

00:45:40.600 I'm telling you, I've had the pleasure of feeling every single time it's an honor since 2019.

00:45:46.720 I just love talking with you folks in this audience.

00:45:50.220 It's like a breath of fresh air.

00:45:53.020 So you are going to, I am sure you're going to see a lot of what I'm about ready to tell you.

00:45:58.460 And some of this may be me preaching to the choir, but I'm going to endeavor to do this because there are people listening, believe it or not, who don't always agree with what we agree with.

00:46:10.700 And we welcome them in, you know, with open arms.

00:46:13.300 We want you, we want you.

00:46:14.380 Actually, you disagree.

00:46:15.500 I'd love to hear from you, too.

00:46:16.580 But listen, it's important that you're here.

00:46:20.840 It's important we have these conversations and that we keep conversations going in the country.

00:46:26.280 And maybe now more than ever.

00:46:29.040 So here's what I want to take you behind the scenes so that you can understand.

00:46:35.380 A lot of times the mainstream media and the folks, it's certainly that you may read online.

00:46:42.900 And social media is big with this now, too.

00:46:44.860 I mean, it's the new media.

00:46:49.280 They do a lot of talking about things that you don't necessarily, you may even call them distractions.

00:46:55.120 And they see surface on a lot of it and we're pulled around very easily because the algorithms that's talked about that earlier in the program.

00:47:03.740 But there are things that we must consider and there are things that need to be talked about.

00:47:10.440 Like, why Iran? 0.97

00:47:11.300 Why now?

00:47:11.860 And I see a lot of the low-hanging fruit.

00:47:17.280 And to be honest with you, some of it's pretty lazy in the explanation about what's going on and why we're there and what's happening.

00:47:24.840 And I understand some of it.

00:47:27.380 Look, we're so overwhelmed with everything that it's easy to jump, you know, conspiracy theories.

00:47:34.540 And look, I own a tinfoil hat, okay?

00:47:37.700 So don't get me wrong.

00:47:40.180 I'm not using that word in a pejorative, but I'm saying that because we don't know, and quite often, now more than ever, and we've got access to all kinds of information.

00:47:51.560 But because we don't know things, we're always looking for answers and it just doesn't feel good.

00:47:56.240 You know, it doesn't feel good in your bones.

00:47:59.240 It hurts your brain, in fact, when you don't have answers to things.

00:48:04.960 There is a piece, and by the way, this is a faith thing for me, but there is a piece beyond understanding that only comes when you sort of rest in the fact that you can't know it all.

00:48:18.580 And only God does.

00:48:19.780 In fact, that's a whole other conversation for a whole other time, but it's the subject of the book that I wrote, Good News, Hope and Encouragement for Trying Times.

00:48:34.520 So I won't get into all of the machinations of it, but I will tell you that that's part of why we see so much of the rise.

00:48:41.180 And you see people, you know who I'm talking about.

00:48:43.060 You see people on a daily basis, you go, what happened to them?

00:48:47.720 You know, we could become victims.

00:48:53.380 You have, more than ever before in the history of the world, have weapons aimed at you on a daily basis that you don't even realize.

00:49:01.440 I'm not talking about nukes.

00:49:05.540 I'm talking about weapons of mass destruction.

00:49:11.520 That's what we're talking about.

00:49:13.020 I mean, it's the phone that you're carrying, it's the TV that you're watching, it's the radio every now and then you'll get things that'll come through.

00:49:20.680 And, you know, I'm even guilty of it every now and then we try our best.

00:49:24.360 And I know Glenn goes above and beyond to make sure that everything you hear is right and everything you hear is accurate.

00:49:30.840 But in the fog of war, sometimes we don't get it.

00:49:32.560 I think I posted something the other day.

00:49:33.960 I found out, oh, that was AI.

00:49:35.560 Or it's part of a video game.

00:49:36.900 I'd take it down immediately.

00:49:38.020 And I was like, oh, no, that wasn't good.

00:49:40.140 But even I got, God, it's going to happen, right?

00:49:45.960 So that's why I bring some of this up to tell you when we look behind the curtain here, like we're going to do, there's a reason for it.

00:49:55.760 So what's happening in Iran?

00:49:57.140 Well, we have, you know, the nuclear threat.

00:49:59.720 We have freeing and liberating the people.

00:50:01.920 All those things are great, just cause, and particularly defending the country, I think that's major.

00:50:08.860 We know that these people shouted death to America.

00:50:10.840 We know they had massive attempts and several on the president's life.

00:50:14.580 I mean, these are all things that played into it.

00:50:16.880 You take one thing or the other, and like I said, it's kind of lazy just to go, it was this.

00:50:22.560 And particularly if it's something along the lines of, well, Israel made us do it or whatever.

00:50:28.300 It's not the case.

00:50:29.900 It's just not the case.

00:50:31.080 Now, I'm sure they're very pleased that we're involved, but you have to see the fuller picture here, folks.

00:50:37.620 And one of those pieces that I think a lot of people are missing here is this.

00:50:45.660 Go back a couple of days.

00:50:48.200 Here's a whole other thing.

00:50:49.440 I slept in on Saturday.

00:50:51.660 I wake up, everything's buzzing, and I think to myself, oh, no, I missed it.

00:50:57.120 The president was up late, and all of these things were happening on the other side of the world.

00:51:04.260 It's funny because, you know, the whole world shifts right before you've even had your morning cup of coffee.

00:51:08.780 That's just the world we live in now.

00:51:12.740 But Operation Epic Fury was underway.

00:51:15.880 They had coordinated strikes deep inside Iran, and you know, and I know now, what it took to make that possible. 0.59

00:51:26.020 In fact, I saw some really interesting pieces that they actually used intelligence from traffic cameras to track the Ayatollah.

00:51:32.980 They used Iran's own panopticon, their own digital prison, against them to track these guys, know exactly where they were going to be. 0.96

00:51:44.020 That's fascinating to me.

00:51:49.020 But to know all the pieces and how it all went down, that's one thing.

00:51:53.860 To know why is a whole other.

00:51:55.160 And let me just, if I may, suggest another piece of the puzzle that hasn't been talked about as loudly in the news, and I think there's a reason for that.

00:52:05.220 But I want you to understand so you have a full grasp of what we're dealing with and what the president is trying to accomplish.

00:52:13.260 And it all centers around one piece.

00:52:20.400 So when it went in, they didn't nibble around the edges with this attack.

00:52:24.000 They went to the throat.

00:52:25.040 Nuclear facilities, you got missile factories, naval bases, and like I said, the DTAP capitation, you got those 49, 50, whatever it was, people that worked at the very top, the very top of the whole thing.

00:52:38.080 The Supreme Leader gone.

00:52:41.740 The Mueller's terror machine bleeding out in real time, and in fact, it keeps changing.

00:52:47.260 Every now I see another update.

00:52:48.400 Have they picked one?

00:52:49.000 I saw the meme the other day, the black smoke rising from the building there, and they said, black smoke means, kind of like they picked the Pope.

00:52:57.860 They have not picked another Ayatollah. 0.64

00:53:00.240 They were unsuccessful.

00:53:02.120 They keep bombing the people when they try to meet to do this.

00:53:07.280 Anyway, here's what the media is not going to tell you.

00:53:10.080 Here's what the dots, they're not going to connect on this, okay?

00:53:12.480 This isn't just about stopping a nuclear Iran. 0.78

00:53:21.700 It's about something much, much bigger.

00:53:27.380 Essentially, we're talking about shifting global powers, and it is America first in ways that many people couldn't even begin to imagine. 0.59

00:53:37.500 It is proactive, and yet it is defensive all at the same time, and it all centers around China. 0.74

00:53:50.940 Energy dominance.

00:53:53.860 Keeping China in check. 0.99

00:53:56.480 Yes, it's connected to Venezuela.

00:53:58.520 It's connected to the Panama Canal, and it's all one seamless masterstroke.

00:54:03.840 But you have to realize Trump is playing checkers, and people are trying to explain this.

00:54:12.560 He's playing chess.

00:54:13.520 Everybody else is playing checkers.

00:54:14.880 They're trying to explain this in a completely different way.

00:54:17.660 That's why you hear all these explanations.

00:54:19.740 They just don't add up.

00:54:22.680 I'm not going to do the 4D, 5D chess or any of that stuff.

00:54:25.400 I'm just saying what we're watching is a different game than what people are actually explaining it for.

00:54:33.920 Let me break it down, okay?

00:54:35.080 Let me make it as plain as simple, okay?

00:54:36.560 China is the world's largest importer of oil.

00:54:43.560 And for years, you know, they've been buying nearly 90%, 80, 90% of Iran's crude.

00:54:48.120 It's incredible.

00:54:49.140 Massive discounts.

00:54:49.960 And they do it all through shadow fleets, backdoor deals, because, of course, you know you've got these sanctions and everything else.

00:54:58.020 Well, aside from Obama dropping off pallets of cash and Biden doing very similar, this is how they survive.

00:55:11.100 They're still supplying drones to Russia.

00:55:13.740 And all of this, the cheap oil, the drones, et cetera, it keeps the Ayatollahs in power. 0.97

00:55:25.300 And it fuels China's factories.

00:55:32.080 All while they laugh at us.

00:55:38.440 But not anymore.

00:55:40.240 Not after what happened this weekend.

00:55:43.740 There's more to this.

00:55:46.820 I want to dig in a little bit further to explain what happened over the weekend and what continues to happen.

00:55:54.760 So that you can understand when you hear the argument, this isn't America first.

00:56:01.720 You can understand what really is going on behind the scenes and why it matters.

00:56:09.720 Back after this, Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:56:13.740 When an emergency hits, it doesn't send out a warning.

00:56:17.660 The power goes out, cell towers overload, and then suddenly your phone is nothing but a flashlight.

00:56:21.820 The one thing you need most, communication, is gone.

00:56:24.480 That's why you need Rapid Radios, and especially the new RAD-1.

00:56:27.640 It cuts through the chaos with long-range, crystal-clear communication.

00:56:31.300 So during a blackout, evacuations, or any severe weather, Rapid Radios keeps you connected to family, neighbors, and help when it matters most.

00:56:37.980 Be prepared today. Visit RapidRadios.com.

00:56:40.300 Emergencies don't wait, so be ready.

00:56:41.800 Only at RapidRadios.com.

00:56:57.160 All right, so think of this.

00:56:58.900 As I just mentioned, the piece, China, that most are missing when it comes to Iran, and Russia, too, really.

00:57:03.860 People are saying, we don't need any more new wars.

00:57:07.060 This isn't a new war.

00:57:08.880 It's one that's been waged for the last 50 years.

00:57:14.060 And yes, I think we're already in World War III.

00:57:16.540 I think part of what we're watching, it just doesn't look the same as it used to.

00:57:20.600 Part of what we're watching is just that.

00:57:23.600 It's played out through proxies.

00:57:24.880 I mean, Iran even has its own proxies, right?

00:57:26.700 And Iran is a proxy of China and Russia, and, of course, that axis. 0.89

00:57:37.040 So what we're watching play out, the shift is massive.

00:57:46.440 So you got China, the largest oil importer, 90% coming from Iran.

00:57:56.700 And it's been effectively shut off.

00:58:04.020 That straight-o-hormuz that we're hearing a lot about, the narrow choke point, carries one-fifth of all the planet's oil.

00:58:12.640 Tinker traffic is down there.

00:58:14.140 President Trump making sure that they are going to see traffic moving.

00:58:18.020 That's why you've seen some oil prices jump and prices at the pump.

00:58:22.080 A lot of it's, you know, some of it's a reality, but a lot of it's based in, you know, people freaking out.

00:58:27.700 That's, some of that is going to happen.

00:58:29.780 And then some people trying to make a little money, too.

00:58:32.900 Opportunistic.

00:58:34.500 You got ships stranded.

00:58:35.900 You got insurance rates exploding.

00:58:37.080 And every barrel China counting on.

00:58:40.260 From what I've heard, and I, again, encourage you everything I talk about, everything Glenn talks about.

00:58:46.640 But do your due diligence.

00:58:47.780 Check in it.

00:58:48.300 We try to do our best.

00:58:49.200 But everything I've heard, they've got about 100 days worth of oil right now.

00:58:54.040 They have been stockpiling because they sense some of this is coming.

00:58:59.640 And I think they've got 100 days to get by.

00:59:02.360 And then we got big meetings coming up with China as well.

00:59:04.340 Beijing is scrambling right now.

00:59:07.660 Those refineries getting desperate.

00:59:10.360 They'll have to bet against the world for replacement crude from Russia or Saudi Arabia at full market price.

00:59:15.800 And that's, that's not a minor inconvenience.

00:59:21.720 It's a big deal.

00:59:23.380 It's an economic gut punch.

00:59:25.520 And by the way, to the very folks there in China who've been building that anti-American axis, don't forget BRICS. 0.96

00:59:34.920 Don't forget all the things they've been doing behind the scenes.

00:59:37.920 They've largely been allowed to do because the Biden administration better sleep at the wheel.

00:59:42.080 Jill or someone else.

00:59:43.200 Maybe it was Hunter, you know, out of his mind running the auto pen.

00:59:47.400 Lord only knows.

00:59:48.460 By the way, President Trump didn't just start this week.

00:59:56.160 He started with Venezuela and, of course, before that, the Panama Canal.

01:00:01.580 Did you saw what happened with Maduro?

01:00:03.480 And yes, it's great to see that dictator taken out.

01:00:05.880 And those are all, I think, moral reasons for doing what we did.

01:00:14.880 You know, the fentanyl and all the drugs and everything coming here.

01:00:19.540 You know, all that's great.

01:00:21.600 And if you, if you factor that in, you know, hundreds of thousands of people are dying because of it.

01:00:25.360 You know, those are, those are, those are reasons by themselves to do this.

01:00:29.460 But now we know American oil companies, the best in the world, are already moving in billions to rebuild those fields there in Venezuela.

01:00:39.600 It's heavy crude.

01:00:40.440 It's a little different, but it's beginning to flow again.

01:00:42.180 And this time at fair market prices, not the fire sale discounts Maduro was giving to China.

01:00:47.920 And the same goes with Iran. 0.73

01:00:51.780 So what is this boiled down to?

01:00:53.640 Another reason, just another reason to consider China just lost another cheap oil lifeline.

01:00:59.460 Two major suppliers, Iran, Venezuela, both cut off from that discount pipeline.

01:01:08.220 Something that was keeping Beijing's economy artificially propped up.

01:01:16.180 And like I said, that next piece was the Panama Canal.

01:01:19.060 For years, China had its hooks in through Hong Kong, linked companies running the ports at both ends of the canal.

01:01:25.580 And Trump called it what it was from day one.

01:01:27.520 We didn't give the canal to China.

01:01:30.960 We gave it to Panama and we're taking it back. 1.00

01:01:34.220 All of these things, when you start to look at the bigger picture, the strategy at the high level, it starts to unfold.

01:01:40.780 Control the oil choke points.

01:01:43.480 Secure the shipping lanes.

01:01:44.520 Starve the adversary of cheap energy.

01:01:49.460 And you can restore American energy supremacy.

01:01:55.960 And that is America first. 0.95

01:01:59.580 While China burns through all that expensive emergency oil and watches that Belt and Road dream crack. 0.93

01:02:08.260 Along with bricks, the rest of it.

01:02:12.760 Our producers are ready.

01:02:14.240 Our allies are going to be breathing a little easier at night.

01:02:18.360 Resting.

01:02:18.740 The days of rogue regimes and their communist paymasters running the global energy game are coming to a rapid, decisive end.

01:02:27.200 And don't forget, how much were you paying under Biden?

01:02:30.160 It was all of this uncertainty that was making it so.

01:02:33.500 Along with pushing us to the green pipe dream.

01:02:35.900 So, when you're watching this, it's not like the mainstream media proposes.

01:02:41.720 Trump didn't just stumble into this.

01:02:44.320 He planned it.

01:02:45.500 Again, he's playing chess.

01:02:47.900 He's been warning about it.

01:02:49.260 He's been talking about it from the very beginning.

01:02:52.680 And now, we're seeing it play out.

01:02:55.800 Executed with precision.

01:02:57.000 Our enemies reeling.

01:02:58.840 Friends standing tall are the ones still standing with us.

01:03:01.180 And many of them are.

01:03:02.000 Beyond the scenes.

01:03:02.720 Americans absolutely head over heels with what they see happening.

01:03:08.900 But this is what it looks like, folks.

01:03:10.500 This is winning.

01:03:11.480 Winning in the 21st century.

01:03:13.200 Energy's power.

01:03:14.120 You've known that.

01:03:14.820 I know that.

01:03:16.020 America's back.

01:03:16.840 China's on notice.

01:03:18.680 And the American people are about to reap the benefits for decades to come.

01:03:22.240 This is America first. 0.74

01:03:25.920 And, in fact, it's probably one of the best examples of it.

01:03:31.500 What your kids and mine will be talking about for years to come.

01:03:35.020 Barkley and for Beck today.

01:03:36.040 We're back after this on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:03:45.320 You know, one of the most rewarding parts of sharing Relief Factor with you is hearing real stories like Sandra.

01:03:50.860 She wrote in to me.

01:03:51.460 She said, Glenn, I've been hearing about Relief Factor on your radio show for a couple of years.

01:03:54.640 I finally decided to try it because nothing else was helping with my back pain.

01:03:58.460 With the three-week quick start, I went for it.

01:04:01.160 I feel like a new person.

01:04:03.300 Sandra's own words.

01:04:04.620 And it's gratifying to hear.

01:04:05.820 Thank you, Sandra.

01:04:06.900 When I read stories like this, I remember how I was starting to lose hope.

01:04:11.060 And it feels good to help people all over America live pain-free again.

01:04:14.300 It was created by doctors.

01:04:16.220 Relief Factor is a 100% drug-free product using four key ingredients that supports the body's natural inflammatory response.

01:04:23.080 And hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor.

01:04:25.640 And like Sandra and me, over two-thirds of these people go on to order more month after month.

01:04:30.540 So try it yourself.

01:04:31.400 The three-week quick start.

01:04:32.600 See how Relief Factor could be a game-changer for you as well.

01:04:36.200 Call the number 800-4-RELIEF.

01:04:39.080 1-800-4-RELIEF.

01:04:41.240 Or go to relieffactor.com.

01:04:42.760 Don't wait any longer.

01:04:43.600 Get out of pain today.

01:05:07.300 Barkley and for Beck today on the Glenn Beck program.

01:05:10.060 By the way, speaking of which, I just stumbled across this.

01:05:12.600 Somebody sent this to me.

01:05:13.540 And it's Phanteks. 1.00

01:05:14.500 Peter Schweitzer making the point about China that I've just been making this hour.

01:05:19.900 It now means we have a chokehold on the strait.

01:05:24.100 Look, assume that China wanted to move on Taiwan, right?

01:05:27.740 There's a military response.

01:05:29.340 But now we have a massive energy response, which is we simply don't allow any tankers to ship

01:05:35.820 oil from the Persian Gulf through the strait of Hormuz.

01:05:38.720 We can do it.

01:05:40.040 It might have been a little bit dicey had we not taken out the Iranians. 1.00

01:05:44.020 That's roughly half of their oil.

01:05:45.880 Forty to fifty percent of their oil is now suddenly not available to them.

01:05:50.340 So those are enormous methodologies.

01:05:53.040 And look at what happens in terms of military technology, Jesse.

01:05:57.940 China provided their most advanced air defense capabilities to Iran.

01:06:03.540 We completely destroyed them.

01:06:05.600 They didn't shoot down one American or Israeli plane.

01:06:09.740 This is reminiscent of 1982 when the Israelis flying F-15s went up against the Syrians flying

01:06:16.780 MiGs and the Israelis beat them 81 aircraft to zero. 0.96

01:06:21.380 What happened after that?

01:06:22.940 They couldn't give the MiGs away. 0.70

01:06:24.680 So China now has the problem that their military technology is not recognized as being up to

01:06:31.160 part of the United States.

01:06:32.400 That's going to have huge implications with a whole host of other contracts.

01:06:36.500 Peter Schweizer there with Jesse on Fox News.

01:06:40.140 So I want to talk about the fact Tudor Dixon joins us now, host of the Tudor Dixon podcast.

01:06:44.760 He was a candidate for governor here in Michigan as well.

01:06:48.860 And friend, I got to say, Tudor, I know you've talked to Peter before, but this is the point

01:06:54.560 that China is making.

01:06:55.200 When we look at what's happening in Iran, there's a lot more happening behind the scenes

01:07:00.740 that I think folks are actually getting a glimpse of when they watch the nightly news.

01:07:04.640 Welcome in, by the way, to the Glenn Beck program.

01:07:07.020 Thank you so much for having me.

01:07:08.360 Yeah, absolutely.

01:07:09.280 I agree.

01:07:09.900 And I think this is where you see a lot of people right now saying, well, wait a minute.

01:07:13.960 What was this really a threat?

01:07:15.380 Should we have really done this?

01:07:16.640 And to Peter's point about China, I think you need to also understand the connection between

01:07:23.340 Iran and China and North Korea and Russia.

01:07:27.200 And you have to understand that even hitting their nuclear facilities, that wasn't going

01:07:32.440 to stop North Korea from sending them missiles.

01:07:35.200 That wasn't going to stop China. 0.76

01:07:36.900 They have the uranium mines.

01:07:38.660 They have the centrifuges.

01:07:40.260 They were going to rebuild.

01:07:41.440 They were clearly in those conversations with the administration saying, we're not going

01:07:46.400 to back down.

01:07:47.140 We're not going to stop heading toward a nuclear weapon.

01:07:50.880 And so for anyone who is questioning President Trump's choices in this situation, I would

01:07:56.960 say to you, what did you need?

01:07:58.340 What kind of evidence did you need?

01:07:59.760 Did you need a nuclear attack?

01:08:01.100 What did a bomb need to detonate for you to say, OK, now we're ready?

01:08:04.260 Because I would prefer to have the person in power who's telling me they're going to stop

01:08:08.400 it before it happens.

01:08:09.520 Then wait until they get to the point where they have destroyed entire countries.

01:08:13.980 Yeah, there's so many pieces of this.

01:08:17.180 And I know you're sort of navigating it, too, because you're in that podcast world and watching

01:08:24.420 this stuff on social media.

01:08:26.260 I just want people to have the full understanding of what's really going on behind the scenes

01:08:31.400 here and why this is another such a critical move.

01:08:36.460 President Trump, you're in contact with some of those folks in the administration.

01:08:40.500 I mean, what's that happening like behind the scenes?

01:08:42.300 They get this information that most people don't.

01:08:44.820 We don't know.

01:08:45.840 And they try to do their best to let us know what they can.

01:08:48.400 Let me argue back.

01:08:49.800 We do know.

01:08:50.920 We are listening to some of these people who are pontificating, not doing the research,

01:08:56.240 not doing the facts.

01:08:57.460 They want the clicks.

01:08:58.520 They love the clicks.

01:08:59.440 They love the drama.

01:09:00.440 They love the division.

01:09:01.800 And I'm sorry, but you're not for the country if you're for yourself and your podcast.

01:09:06.120 Let me tell you, we have the information.

01:09:08.060 And I will tell you, it's not been a secret that we have the information.

01:09:11.280 If you look back, even Obama said, my gosh, they're so close.

01:09:15.080 Once they get to that 90 percent uranium enrichment, we have weapons grade uranium there.

01:09:20.760 And they have enough.

01:09:22.280 In 2023, they had enough uranium already.

01:09:25.840 And it was reported by international agencies.

01:09:28.280 The International Atomic Energy Agency was reporting they have enough uranium in 2023 for three nuclear bombs.

01:09:35.820 2025, that same agency came out and said now they have enough uranium for nine atomic bombs or nine nuclear bombs.

01:09:45.060 And it's not just that they have that.

01:09:46.920 They also have the centrifuges in place.

01:09:49.000 They are working to make sure they enrich that to 90 percent.

01:09:53.300 They had found particles that were at 83.7 percent, very close to 90 percent.

01:09:58.540 Ninety percent is weapons grade.

01:10:00.320 We know that it wasn't 47 years in the making.

01:10:03.160 This is the last five years we're talking about.

01:10:05.860 This is the last five years we're talking about that they're getting to the point where they actually have a nuclear bomb.

01:10:11.340 And people will say, oh, what about the 12-day war?

01:10:14.800 Yes, we took a massive amount of their ability to create a nuclear bomb away in the 12-day war.

01:10:20.880 But that doesn't stop them.

01:10:22.620 They had other centrifuges.

01:10:24.160 They could get started back up.

01:10:25.920 Like I said, they have the connections with North Korea and China.

01:10:29.920 And we haven't heard North Korea or China or Russia say they're going to back away from Iran. 0.75

01:10:34.980 Quite the opposite.

01:10:36.060 We know that they're going to be on board with them.

01:10:38.720 They're going to continue to supply them with the missiles that they need.

01:10:42.120 And you had some of the top negotiators in the world in the Trump administration sit down with them and say, are you going to stop this?

01:10:52.560 But they won't.

01:10:53.580 And they have a form.

01:10:55.540 What their religion is, is radical Islam.

01:10:59.060 And they are under the belief that if they even wipe out the whole world, that that will ultimately cleanse the world.

01:11:05.940 And then the world will be a better place.

01:11:08.600 And they can bring enough evil that there will be a cleansing. 0.99

01:11:12.180 This is a twisted, sick way of thinking. 0.98

01:11:16.260 You can't even imagine as an American. 0.99

01:11:18.440 This is not like negotiating with Americans. 0.99

01:11:20.760 This is negotiating with sociopaths. 0.94

01:11:23.820 And they are not willing to stop.

01:11:26.040 They have it at their fingertips.

01:11:27.720 And regardless of how many times we take out their facilities, they have more ability underground to rebuild and go back after that bomb.

01:11:36.840 And they have the knowledge now.

01:11:38.260 They know where to mine.

01:11:39.400 They know where to get the missiles.

01:11:41.220 They connect the uranium and the missile with the warhead.

01:11:45.840 And that's it.

01:11:47.040 It lights out.

01:11:48.420 You know, and who's first?

01:11:49.920 I mean, they can reach Israel, but they can also reach Eastern Europe.

01:11:53.320 For anybody who's saying this is about Israel, you know, bite your tongue.

01:11:57.400 You have no idea what you're talking about.

01:11:59.000 If you're that naive, you haven't done any research on what Iran can actually do, because they can actually reach Eastern European countries.

01:12:07.620 And they will.

01:12:08.800 There's no barrier.

01:12:10.100 There's no reason for them to stop.

01:12:11.860 There's no conscience like we have in the United States.

01:12:15.040 And life means nothing to them.

01:12:16.580 This is a regime that just a week or two weeks ago took out 40,000 of their own people, mowed them down with machine guns.

01:12:24.860 They have no, no care for life whatsoever.

01:12:28.740 And anybody who is saying we weren't there yet, like I said, I'll go back to what does it take to get there?

01:12:36.280 What does it take to get the Democrats on board with protecting us?

01:12:40.500 Does it take a nuclear bomb going off?

01:12:42.680 Because that's insane.

01:12:43.900 Now, the same people were making decisions back in World War II.

01:12:47.680 We'd all be speaking German right now.

01:12:49.680 This is clear.

01:12:52.500 And I don't think it's ever more clear.

01:12:54.100 We've got a leader who is uniquely designed for this moment in time for such a time as this.

01:12:59.760 Here's the polling.

01:13:00.560 Maggie Unity, despite what you're watching or seeing, maybe on social media from some of those vocal minorities,

01:13:06.620 it shows Republicans opposed to Trump's Iran strikes are loud but small minority.

01:13:12.600 And then even CNN says it.

01:13:15.220 Listen to this.

01:13:16.380 Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president's own party supporters love them at this particular point.

01:13:23.800 In his administration, even CNN says so.

01:13:27.380 Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president's own party supporters love them at this particular point.

01:13:34.880 Just take a look here.

01:13:35.660 OK, own party supporters, 21st century presidents, own party approval about at this point in the second term.

01:13:41.180 Bush was at 77 percent.

01:13:43.140 Obama was at 77 percent.

01:13:44.720 Look at this.

01:13:45.540 Eighty-six percent of Republicans approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing at this point.

01:13:51.260 Now, why do I bring this up?

01:13:52.740 Because we're hearing lots of other things from the other side and when I say even within the party.

01:13:58.260 So this whole conflict and some of the doom and gloom skies falling black pill stuff may cost us some midterm elections.

01:14:09.480 And this is why I bring it up, because it is so important.

01:14:13.520 We are united, many of us.

01:14:16.040 But the damage some of these folks are doing, well, it could have tremendous consequences.

01:14:22.720 You know, I think this is a good moment for people to believe that there is a chance of that happening because we're early on it.

01:14:30.040 And politics is like things happen overnight in there and they're also stretched out for years.

01:14:35.320 Right. So right now in the world of elections, I mean, when you think about the general election, there's a lot that can happen between now and then.

01:14:42.980 And what I think you are going to see happen is right now the Democrats are trying to use this to divide us.

01:14:49.380 And you do have some of these rogue people that claim to be a part of the GOP or the Republican Party in the past who clearly haven't been and aren't and are just rabble rousers.

01:14:58.780 And they're not actually bringing any good facts to the table.

01:15:02.120 And potentially they're getting paid by certain countries to do this.

01:15:05.380 So I don't think that I think people have caught on to that as well.

01:15:08.740 And they're not taking that as seriously.

01:15:10.060 But then look at what you have in the Democrat Party.

01:15:12.880 They're about to elevate a guy who believes there are six genders in Texas that tells us that your neighbors might have a uterus and then therefore they're being discriminated against.

01:15:23.920 I mean, this is a guy who says he can't define a woman.

01:15:26.760 This is a man who says that the story of Jesus' birth and the immaculate conception is a story of abortion and why God supports abortion. 0.99

01:15:39.580 I mean, James Tallarico is a total lunatic. 0.97

01:15:42.500 And I'm so glad that they elected him. 0.95

01:15:45.680 I mean, you know, I think Jasmine would have been just as great.

01:15:48.400 I would have taken Jasmine Crockett, too.

01:15:49.960 But this guy is such a radical extremist that if the Democrat Party embraces him and they say, yes, we're about his trans agenda and we're about his radical gender and everything else that he stands for.

01:16:06.340 And his blasphemous approach to the Bible.

01:16:09.700 If they stand behind the the absolutely demonic things that James Tallarico puts out on a regular basis and that we have him on film and on tape saying there's no backing out of the crazy things that he said.

01:16:24.840 If the Democrat Party is going to stand behind him and the AOCs of the world that go on the world stage and cannot even talk about foreign policy and fall flat on her face and does it can't even say who brought horses to North America.

01:16:40.220 A woman who shares the same name as the Spanish conquistador who brought them to Mexico and she doesn't know this.

01:16:49.680 I mean, if this is what they're going to do, then yeah, I'm telling you, we've got this in the bag.

01:16:55.540 We're good.

01:16:56.760 Tudor Dixon, host of Tudor Dixon podcast and always a pleasure.

01:17:01.060 But you also are doing something locally back home in West Michigan where I'm at, part of a great conversation, Cornerstone University.

01:17:09.020 So we don't have a lot of time here, but it's called Wisdom Conversations, America at 250.

01:17:18.720 Yep.

01:17:19.080 Grand Rapids, Michigan at Cornerstone University is a great university.

01:17:23.260 They are always sharing their Christian values.

01:17:26.920 They have Robert P. George and Cornel West sitting down tonight for a conversation.

01:17:31.480 I've had them both on the podcast.

01:17:33.220 It's an amazing conversation when you get the two of them together and you can see it live in person tonight at Cornerstone.

01:18:17.800 Got to grab a couple of phone calls and some emails coming in as well.

01:18:21.480 And the conversation continues.

01:18:23.020 There's something that happened that we must talk about here coming up in the program yesterday.

01:18:28.560 Congress voted on it.

01:18:29.520 You're probably not going to hear it.

01:18:30.440 They have no leg to stand on talking about the Epstein files from now on.

01:18:33.700 And we'll get into that, too, coming up.

01:18:35.920 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:39.200 Dividers can call us names.

01:18:41.160 Right.

01:18:41.380 Right to the world.

01:18:42.160 It's a democracy. 1.00

01:18:43.380 It's a greasy pig. 0.98

01:18:45.300 We just call each other neighbor and friend. 0.99

01:18:49.800 We'll be right back.

01:18:51.700 Glenn Beck is on. 0.51

01:18:52.800 Are you a fraud-paying American?

01:19:04.900 It's a fact that one in four honest, hardworking, tax-paying Americans has been a victim of identity theft.

01:20:19.020 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

01:20:21.600 I just, going through some of the things that are out there, thinking, okay, gotta make sure we get to this, gotta make sure we get to that.

01:20:28.180 Here's one of the, I don't know if you saw, this was insane.

01:20:31.340 They had a hearing yesterday in the Senate, and the senator there actually has to jump in.

01:20:37.060 And one of the protesters, the guy just lost his mind, is a Marine.

01:20:42.920 I don't know for how long, because this is, this is way above and beyond anything you'd expect to see.

01:20:51.620 Getting an altercation, fighting with U.S. Capitol Police, and this is the back and forth.

01:20:56.980 They're trying to get him out.

01:20:58.540 Eventually, his hand gets stuck inside the door.

01:21:04.060 They say it got broken.

01:21:04.980 I don't know if it got broken or not, but this is part of this.

01:21:07.820 They're saying he broke his hand.

01:21:09.480 He broke the hand of a Marine.

01:21:11.040 I don't know if that's what actually happened.

01:21:14.300 But I saw this, and I thought to myself, holy cow, what an incredible back and forth.

01:21:20.820 And then it also made me think, you know, we are in the find-out era.

01:21:23.840 And Iran is finding out.

01:21:26.200 Swaya's finding out.

01:21:27.860 And folks are finding out.

01:21:28.960 You don't mess with U.S. Senator and Navy SEAL Tim Shaheed.

01:21:31.380 He just, I just, if you're going to interrupt the hearing, I'd probably pick one.

01:21:38.160 Senator Tim Sheehy is not in.

01:21:40.140 I would just say that's probably the best route to go.

01:21:43.120 Now, here's some information on the guy, in case you're wondering.

01:21:46.220 The guy lost his mind at the Marine there.

01:21:48.880 Unfortunately, it sounds like he lost it a while back.

01:21:51.080 Here he is, a sympathizer, Hamas and whatnot.

01:21:54.160 Congratulations to Hamas and the Gazans for repelling their oppressor, the Israelis, and causing these things. 0.95

01:22:02.660 People's brains are breaking, folks.

01:22:04.460 Protect your brain.

01:22:06.380 Truth, logic, and common sense with Daily Doses.

01:22:09.840 Another one's coming up next.

01:22:11.040 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today as we continue.

01:22:14.680 Back next on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:17.000 Got PC Optimum Points?

01:22:28.240 Visit Shoppers Drug Mart for the bonus redemption event and get more for your points.

01:22:34.160 Valid in-store and online.

01:22:35.300 We'll see you next time.

01:23:05.300 Glenn Beck is on.

01:23:07.720 Glenn Beck is on.

01:23:10.160 Na-na-na-na-na.

01:23:12.660 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:23:15.220 Na-na-na-na-na.

01:23:19.260 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

01:23:26.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:30.660 Glenn Beck is on.

01:23:31.760 Oh, we've heard about the files.

01:23:36.180 Lots and lots about the files.

01:23:37.860 And, yes, they are important.

01:23:39.000 The whole issue is important.

01:23:40.480 But I don't want to hear it.

01:23:41.480 Not another single word from some of these members of Congress.

01:23:44.900 The vote they took yesterday.

01:23:47.600 Oh, you haven't heard about this yet?

01:23:49.140 Just wait.

01:23:49.820 We'll get to it.

01:23:50.640 It's important news you may not hear anywhere else.

01:23:53.720 That's coming up.

01:23:54.600 Plus, what's it like in places like the free state of Florida?

01:23:59.640 I just returned, and I want to shine a light.

01:24:01.740 What I think is a road map for the rest of the country.

01:24:04.760 Some things that we're seeing play out that you need to know about.

01:24:08.460 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:12.120 We'll talk about that with you after this.

01:24:15.580 Back next.

01:24:16.120 Glenn Beck is on.

01:24:19.160 When you're paying for your credit card every month, I want you to look at the interest rate.

01:24:22.780 I don't want you to get used to that.

01:24:24.240 What is it, 20%, 25%?

01:24:25.860 That's not normal, and that's not good.

01:24:27.560 You're never going to get out of it.

01:24:28.840 High interest debt has a way of quietly draining your future, and you're making payments.

01:24:33.560 You're being responsible, but it's not doing anything but paying the interest.

01:24:37.320 This is where American Financing can help you.

01:24:39.160 Their salary, they're an employee-owned company, so the mortgage consultants focus on what makes sense for you, not on commissions,

01:24:45.960 and they can look at your current mortgage and see whether consolidating high interest debt into a lower rate

01:24:50.880 could lower your monthly payments and save you money over time.

01:24:54.120 You don't have to accept financial pressure as a permanent condition.

01:24:57.180 Don't.

01:24:57.560 I want you to call right now, 800-906-2440.

01:25:01.400 It's AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

01:25:08.500 NMLS 1-82334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

01:25:11.800 APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

01:25:15.560 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

01:25:26.660 Enjoy the program, whatever you like, 888-727-BECK, 888-727-BECK.

01:25:30.980 We'll try and grab a phone call or two.

01:25:32.380 You can email me, too.

01:25:33.300 I'd love to hear from you, Justin at Justin Barclay, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y, Justin at JustinBarclay.com.

01:25:39.280 I'm at Mr. Justin Barclay all over social media, and I love those conversations.

01:25:44.580 I'm filling in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program, and I got to tell you, every

01:25:49.340 time I'm here, it is an honor and a pleasure, a privilege to be here with you, and I love

01:25:54.500 talking with Glenn's audience, the best of the best, just say that.

01:25:59.440 But I was in the free state of Florida last week.

01:26:04.040 In fact, I was just coming back about a week ago, and spent about a week down there with

01:26:07.600 some good friends, and I got to see some family and have a good time.

01:26:10.840 Now, this is a big, by the way, it's a big shock when you go from a place like the People's 1.00

01:26:17.560 Republic of Michigan to a Florida.

01:26:21.100 And this time of year, it's not just about weather.

01:26:24.840 Where you're leaving, well, it's snowing.

01:26:28.480 I think we did come back to snow and cold.

01:26:31.720 This time of year, you just never know what you're going to get into.

01:26:33.640 Where I'm at in West Michigan, broadcasting out of the studios of NewsRadio Wood 1300 and

01:26:40.100 1069 FM, and landing in the free state of Florida.

01:26:44.900 We were at Fort Myers, Naples, Venice, that area, and had a blast.

01:26:50.080 But there were some things that I noticed, and it wasn't just the weather, although it

01:26:53.680 was gorgeous this time of year, particularly.

01:26:55.500 They know they're in season.

01:26:56.700 And people are making their way down in record numbers right now.

01:27:02.480 But for the obvious reasons, the weather, the fun of the sun, the vacation, take your

01:27:06.480 kids.

01:27:06.720 It was our first trip for our girls.

01:27:08.820 First time on an airplane and had a quick nonstop flight, which was fantastic for their

01:27:15.860 first.

01:27:17.020 A lot of firsts.

01:27:17.680 They got to see some gators, got to eat some gator bites.

01:27:21.620 I don't know if the locals get into the gator bites or not.

01:27:24.840 We certainly did.

01:27:26.700 And we had a blast.

01:27:29.460 But one of the things I kept noticing, and very similarly, like Texas, there's always,

01:27:34.920 you know, in Texas, like the construction never stops.

01:27:37.420 And that might be frustrating for some of you who live in Texas.

01:27:40.620 But it is a sign of massive growth and just incredible.

01:27:49.100 It's wild to watch the differences, because in Michigan, it's not like that.

01:27:54.380 We've lost population growth.

01:27:56.700 Over the years, largely due, I believe, to the policies of the Democrat governor who's

01:28:03.540 been in charge almost the last eight years.

01:28:05.760 So that's why, as I get a chance to go down to Florida and see what's happening down there,

01:28:10.300 it's obviously more friendly.

01:28:12.420 The people over there, it's walking around with my sweatshirt on that said, One Nation

01:28:15.440 Under God, and I got several compliments.

01:28:18.660 It took me a second, because I could wear that around here, and I get every now and then,

01:28:21.540 I get, hey, I like your shirt.

01:28:22.400 But I got, so we got one guy said, Amen.

01:28:23.940 And I think, what is he?

01:28:25.240 Amen to me.

01:28:25.760 Oh, the shirt.

01:28:26.320 So it was fantastic to just to see that be in that environment in the free state of Florida.

01:28:34.000 I don't have to tell you that if you live there, but folks, I think throughout the rest

01:28:37.180 of the country just don't have an understanding, an idea of how good it is, the expansion, the

01:28:42.140 business, et cetera.

01:28:42.860 And we just had a story the other day, showed more businesses living here, our state, where

01:28:46.780 I'm at, and all over the country, in fact, heading into Florida.

01:28:50.060 I thought it would be a good idea to talk to the mayor of one of those great cities in

01:28:55.160 the free state of Florida, Boca Raton.

01:28:56.800 Scott Singer with us on now.

01:28:58.960 Mayor, thank you, and welcome in to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:29:03.320 Justin, thanks so much for having me.

01:29:04.760 We have great things happening in Boca Raton, and you're seeing this with our latest corporate

01:29:08.200 relocation from Michigan.

01:29:10.260 We're drawing from lots of states because of our low taxes, low crime, great quality of life,

01:29:14.520 and the lowest property tax rate of any full-service city in Florida in Boca Raton.

01:29:18.920 And you know what's wild, is it, Mayor, while I was there?

01:29:23.080 You know, first of all, we know you don't have the income tax, and that's huge, right?

01:29:27.140 And while I was there, I believe it was the Senate that voted to get rid of property taxes.

01:29:32.640 And I thought to myself, holy smokes, if it's not already on fire already, and in a good way,

01:29:39.000 people are going to be moving in droves when this gets done.

01:29:43.320 They are.

01:29:43.960 And in Boca Raton, we've done our best to maintain the quality of life for a city of

01:29:47.460 100,000 people, but attract a ton of businesses.

01:29:50.380 And it isn't just the latest coming from Michigan Concord Investment Services, which is adding

01:29:54.840 to our robust financial services stock.

01:29:57.140 But we had D-Wave Computing, a quantum computing company, moved from Palo Alto.

01:30:01.280 We've been attracting companies from New York since the June primary, when we had a targeted

01:30:05.800 campaign focused on Mamdani.

01:30:07.700 And I'm just one of many mayors across the nation who are trying to govern with low-tax,

01:30:12.960 pro-business, common-sense policies.

01:30:15.300 That's why I'm happy to run, or excuse me, chair the America First Policy Institute Mayors

01:30:19.720 Council, where we have about 50 mayors advancing this America First agenda in our cities.

01:30:24.620 And I think we need this at the national level.

01:30:27.240 That's why I'm also running for U.S.

01:30:28.320 Congress right now.

01:30:29.800 That's fantastic.

01:30:31.240 I, um, well, listen, you know, and you've seen it up close and personal what the differences

01:30:36.940 are.

01:30:37.340 First, I mean, obviously, the sunshine, right?

01:30:39.380 You got the lifestyle.

01:30:41.000 Um, and that's, that's one of the things that people love so much.

01:30:44.060 But, you know, another thing there that I saw, and one of my friends down there, um, got

01:30:49.220 an eighth grader, and they just started homeschooling her, and they said, you know, the money moves

01:30:52.660 with the student here.

01:30:53.400 I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, I think they told me that they get $10,000 a year per

01:31:01.140 student.

01:31:01.980 And even as, as she's homeschooled, that money could go towards tutors.

01:31:05.540 It could go towards piano lessons.

01:31:07.640 It could go towards educating that child.

01:31:10.120 And why shouldn't it?

01:31:11.400 I mean, it's your money.

01:31:12.640 Shouldn't it go and follow the student?

01:31:14.460 I thought that was another fantastic point.

01:31:18.020 It is.

01:31:18.720 Florida's been a leader on school choice.

01:31:20.340 Those accounts that put $10,000 in the home of every parent for every student for private,

01:31:25.660 parochial, religious, homeschooling, has been a game changer.

01:31:29.440 And I think President Trump's, one of the great things President Trump was able to accomplish

01:31:33.600 in the House leadership and Senate leadership in one big, beautiful bill are the tax credits

01:31:38.000 that are going to go to everyday residents across America for the states that opt in, where

01:31:42.920 you're getting an actual tax credit.

01:31:44.580 So you can deploy that for educational institutions in your state.

01:31:49.000 It's going to turbocharge school choice and take out some of the indoctrination we've seen

01:31:53.400 on the left.

01:31:54.260 And I think it's just giving a great opportunity for parents to educate the children they see,

01:31:58.360 their children, the way they see fit, and really enhancing parental rights.

01:32:02.240 Imagine that.

01:32:03.140 I mean, to me and you, it sounds like common sense, but we've been so far removed from it.

01:32:09.080 And it's just, I think when you hear it, it's so refreshing.

01:32:13.540 And that's one of the things about spending the time that I did during that week on vacation.

01:32:19.600 And I, you know, I just see it.

01:32:22.780 I see the success in Florida.

01:32:24.280 And then obviously you're running for Congress.

01:32:25.680 So you'll be trying to export some of that truth, logic, and common sense to Congress.

01:32:30.640 And good luck, my friend.

01:32:31.620 But, you know, the rest of the country could really learn some lessons from what you've

01:32:37.900 done there as mayor and what the governor has done in the state of free state of Florida

01:32:41.960 and all the rest of the folks that have been together to make sure that you've got some

01:32:46.400 of these common sense policies in place that do so much to attract people to Florida and

01:32:51.600 businesses too.

01:32:53.340 Well, yes.

01:32:54.380 And voters across America are going to have a choice in November.

01:32:57.340 Do they want to continue on the path of success we've had the last year under President

01:33:01.080 Trump with a secure border, stronger national defense, the biggest tax cut in history, unleashing

01:33:06.460 American energy production, unleashing our economy with cutting regulations?

01:33:10.400 Or do they want to go to the failed model of cities like New York, where even with a

01:33:14.540 budget for a city of New York that's larger than our entire state budget, and we have 23

01:33:18.560 million people to their eight and a half, they're still proposing a 9.5% property tax increase.

01:33:24.560 What happened to the free buses and free supermarkets that were going to be there?

01:33:29.120 They can't even provide the basic services with such a bloated budget that they needed

01:33:33.280 to call for volunteers to shovel snow, or I mean, aid workers, but you don't have everyday

01:33:37.820 residents coming in to shovel snow and you don't raise taxes 9.5%.

01:33:42.120 People are going to continue to choose and businesses are going to choose the contrast between high

01:33:47.960 tax, higher crime, higher regulation cities in failing states or successful cities in states

01:33:53.180 like Florida and others across America.

01:33:56.680 Scott Singer is the mayor of Boca Raton running for Congress there in Florida's 23rd congressional

01:34:02.180 district, American first Republican candidate.

01:34:04.740 When you're talking with your colleagues that are mayors across the country, and obviously

01:34:09.300 conservatives, so they have a different vantage point of viewpoint, but what are the things

01:34:13.040 that stand out most that you hear?

01:34:14.820 Well, it's wild to me because where I'm at, while I was on vacation back home in Grand

01:34:20.660 Rapids, Michigan, we have the mayor making headlines here for saying you ought to be ashamed if you

01:34:26.100 own a gun.

01:34:26.640 And I'm thinking to myself, you know, Florida doesn't have that problem.

01:34:31.080 But to me, I think it's wild to watch how different and stark the contrast is between this leadership

01:34:37.660 styles.

01:34:38.320 Well, when I hear statements like that, it's another reminder that this is no longer our

01:34:44.060 parents' Democratic Party.

01:34:45.700 And the ideas that were mainstream among Democrats 15, 20 years ago, whether it was Schumer or

01:34:52.260 Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, all talking about a secure border and how to deal with

01:34:56.820 illegal immigration.

01:34:58.480 And now that that's anathema in the Democratic Party shows just how far to the left they've

01:35:03.000 gone.

01:35:03.240 And I think mainstream voters of all stripes, Democratic, Independent and Republican, are

01:35:07.640 understanding this.

01:35:08.820 It's a big reason why President Trump had such a resounding victory.

01:35:11.600 It's a reason why I'm optimistic in November that people are going to continue to see the

01:35:15.740 strength of the economy, especially as GDP is at record highs and why people are going

01:35:19.720 to be coming out to vote.

01:35:20.820 I wouldn't be running for Congress unless I thought we could win and govern in a majority. 0.92

01:35:24.480 And again, when the left keeps making just ridiculous statements like the one you just

01:35:28.620 quoted, it gives people more reason to vote more conservatively. 0.92

01:35:32.000 Absolutely.

01:35:34.240 Well, listen, I wish you the best, obviously, running for Congress.

01:35:40.320 You know, this is a world in which we need more.

01:35:43.460 In fact, we're going to talk a little bit later on some of the things that are happening

01:35:45.900 in Congress.

01:35:47.340 We need more good folks there.

01:35:49.140 And every single day, that becomes more apparent.

01:35:53.780 Folks want to find you online, Scott, particularly in your area there in the free state of Florida

01:35:58.540 or maybe across the country.

01:36:00.640 What's the best way they can do that?

01:36:02.980 Absolutely.

01:36:03.680 They can go to my website, scottsingerusa.com on all social media platforms.

01:36:08.080 I'm also scottsingerusa.

01:36:09.920 And there I also talk about, you mentioned education.

01:36:12.060 We talked about indoctrination.

01:36:13.640 I have a proposal there that we'll delve into more that people might like.

01:36:18.240 If you receive foreign money as an educational institution, no federal dollars for you.

01:36:25.180 Universities often start making a choice between who's funding them.

01:36:27.560 The American taxpayers are foreign entities. 0.98

01:36:29.380 And I think that could be a game changer, too, at all levels of education.

01:36:32.360 Mayor Scott Singer, Mayor Boca Raton, thank you so much for being here with us today.

01:36:36.460 Appreciate you taking the time.

01:36:37.520 God bless.

01:36:39.000 God bless you, and thank you.

01:36:40.180 So we move forward with more.

01:36:43.700 In fact, speaking of Congress, like I said, I don't want to hear it anymore, particularly

01:36:47.840 from some of these folks, Democrats especially.

01:36:51.320 When it comes to the files, a vote that took place yesterday that they have officially no

01:36:59.660 leg to stand on.

01:37:01.080 We're going to get into that conversation coming up here in just a little bit.

01:37:04.600 And I want to make sure you hear it because, again, I think it's one that sort of took place

01:37:10.180 under the cover of darkness.

01:37:11.560 And I really, I highly doubt, I really, I highly doubt that you're going to hear it on

01:37:21.600 the nightly news.

01:37:22.800 Also, boots on the ground at our end.

01:37:24.420 Well, we'll explain whose boots they are coming up after this.

01:37:28.560 Justin Barclay back in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program right after this.

01:37:34.940 80,000.

01:37:36.580 That's the number of babies that were rescued last year because of you.

01:37:39.920 Over 80,000 babies saved thanks to faithful supporters of pre-born.

01:37:45.440 Every day, thousands of women hear the same devastating lie that abortion is your only 1.00

01:37:49.620 option.

01:37:50.240 You're all alone.

01:37:50.880 There is no hope.

01:37:51.580 You're not going to make it.

01:37:52.380 All of those lies, all of that doubt.

01:37:54.280 But everything changes the moment a mom in crisis walks into a pre-born clinic and sees her 0.97

01:37:59.680 baby on an ultrasound.

01:38:01.080 That's one divine moment.

01:38:02.520 And it doubles her chances of choosing life because it's not just an image on a screen.

01:38:06.520 It's a baby made in the image of God.

01:38:08.500 A sacred life meant to be protected.

01:38:10.760 And when she hears the baby's heartbeat, maybe for the very first time, something holy

01:38:14.180 happens.

01:38:15.000 One of our pre-born donors shared this powerful truth.

01:38:17.320 My mother chose life and that's why I'm here.

01:38:19.380 And that's why I donate to pre-born to help other mothers choose life.

01:38:22.640 For $28, you can do that.

01:38:24.500 Let's make this the biggest baby saving year in history.

01:38:26.800 Call pound 250.

01:38:27.720 Say the keyword baby.

01:38:28.680 Pound 250.

01:38:29.340 Keyword baby.

01:38:30.060 Or visit pre-born.com slash Beck.

01:38:31.960 Pre-born.com slash Beck.

01:38:33.360 Sponsored by Pre-born.

01:38:34.160 All right.

01:38:46.880 So I want to talk about this is interesting because I noticed yesterday some of this came

01:38:51.420 out.

01:38:51.600 I don't know if you've got a chance to talk about it or not, but we keep hearing some of

01:38:55.880 this boots on the ground talk.

01:38:57.260 Well, apparently Trump has done it in a way, and actually, I'll be honest with you, I think

01:39:03.540 when I watch Iran and some of what they've been doing, this is kind of the last gasp of 1.00

01:39:08.800 this dying regime here.

01:39:11.020 They're involving all these other Middle Eastern, you know, their neighbors by lobbing off rockets 1.00

01:39:18.360 and missiles and whatnot.

01:39:20.220 And this is inevitably drawing more people into the conflict.

01:39:24.400 So the question is, boots on the ground, are they going to be boots on the ground?

01:39:28.340 And it turns out, yes, the headline was, there are boots on the ground.

01:39:34.600 But whose boots are they?

01:39:38.620 At this point, not American troops.

01:39:41.360 It's big.

01:39:42.060 A U.S. official telling Fox thousands of Iraqi Kurds have launched a ground offensive in Iran.

01:39:48.900 Decimated, destroyed, defeated.

01:39:53.540 All words the Pentagon used to describe Iran's various military forces on day five of Operation

01:40:00.140 Epic Fury.

01:40:00.780 Moments ago, President Trump touting in its big, a U.S.

01:40:04.640 Now, this is, again, you watch this, right?

01:40:08.060 And I'm with you.

01:40:09.980 I understand it.

01:40:11.140 You know, skeptical.

01:40:12.260 Some of us might even be cynical.

01:40:15.820 You know, I understand some of the reason to be, right?

01:40:20.260 You watch this, you know, I just don't want this to get a hand.

01:40:23.300 But everything we're watching, everything we're seeing play out.

01:40:28.200 Seems to me, at least, that the strategy here is unlike anything else we've ever seen before.

01:40:36.040 And, by the way, I got a message.

01:40:38.340 Email me, justin at justinbarclay.com, if you want to reach out to me.

01:40:41.540 I'd love to hear from you.

01:40:43.060 888-727-BECK.

01:40:45.200 But this question was about, oh, yeah, India agreeing to stop buying Russian oil.

01:40:54.960 Maybe leading into this, India gets iron beam from Israel. 0.69

01:40:59.680 India agrees to stop buying Russian oil.

01:41:02.540 No more money to wage war.

01:41:06.040 This person says, you know, I suspect a partial deal struck between Israel and India and U.S.

01:41:13.160 may be related to the Iran action, too.

01:41:15.800 Oh, no doubt about it.

01:41:17.360 I think there's so many pieces.

01:41:19.820 Look, there is all of the surface and the things that we're hearing, and some of that we just heard earlier this hour or last hour.

01:41:26.160 But I believe, you know, lots of those, the nuclear peace and the defense of the country, et cetera.

01:41:33.040 I mean, the people that chanted death to America for the last 50 years, obviously, what they were doing to their own.

01:41:38.660 I mean, that's a whole other piece.

01:41:40.340 All of those, I do believe, are all good reasons and part of the reasons why we may take action there.

01:41:50.220 But when you start to look at some of the other pieces that may, in fact, play into this, yeah, I think it's clear there's much more than meets the eye going on in some of these cases.

01:42:01.440 And it's important to note that what we're watching is historic.

01:42:06.940 And so there are folks out there that are criticizing.

01:42:10.520 There are some folks out there that are, you know, that are leading that charge.

01:42:15.420 I just don't think that's the right way to go about it.

01:42:18.220 I think at some point you have to trust the president you elected, and many of these folks did, in fact, vote for him to get that job done.

01:42:25.620 I'm not saying you can't disagree. 0.60

01:42:28.500 I'm not, I don't, that, of course, that would be ridiculous.

01:42:33.740 But it's how you go about it that matters most.

01:42:36.300 Speaking of history, saw this yesterday, Secretary of War, which has a nice ring to it, I like the Department of War,

01:42:43.980 said they did something for the first time that since they were actually called the Department of War,

01:42:51.200 they did something for the first time.

01:42:52.360 It's kind of wild to see this.

01:42:54.040 They sunk a ship with a torpedo from a submarine.

01:42:59.840 In fact, last night, we sunk their prize ship, the Soleimani.

01:43:05.840 Looks like POTUS got him twice.

01:43:09.620 Their Navy, not a factor.

01:43:11.220 Pick your adjective.

01:43:12.540 Wait a second, Pete.

01:43:13.480 I had coffee in my mouth there.

01:43:14.900 There's no more.

01:43:15.440 In fact, yesterday, in the Indian Ocean, and we'll play it on the screen there,

01:43:21.480 an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters.

01:43:29.400 Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo.

01:43:32.020 Quiet death.

01:43:33.500 Wow.

01:43:34.020 The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II.

01:43:37.560 Like in that war, back when we were still the War Department, we are fighting to win.

01:43:45.040 There you have it.

01:43:46.180 That's the history being made.

01:43:48.940 Speaking of which, they were all on record yesterday.

01:43:51.920 Congress in that vote, I think, well, they ought not be able to tell us what to think about any of these files in the future,

01:43:58.920 the way they voted yesterday.

01:43:59.860 We'll talk about that and the consequences of it.

01:44:03.580 Justin Barkley in for Glenn today.

01:44:05.960 Justin at justinbarkley.com.

01:44:08.000 At Mr. Justin Barkley on all the social media.

01:44:10.060 Back after this on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:44:27.800 Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

01:44:30.160 This year is a turning point.

01:44:31.900 I mean, do you feel it?

01:44:32.760 Those who hate America are not quiet.

01:44:34.980 They're aggressive.

01:44:35.640 They're confident.

01:44:36.600 And they're open about what they feel about America.

01:44:39.200 And, you know, we care more about the murderers on the streets than the moms. 1.00

01:44:42.880 The fight just doesn't happen just in Washington.

01:44:45.120 It shows up every day in decisions that you make, including who you choose to do business with.

01:44:50.060 Patriot Mobile has been on this front line of fighting for all of the amendments in our Constitution and the things that we hold dear.

01:44:57.040 They are America's only Christian conservative wireless company.

01:45:00.140 They don't just provide wireless service.

01:45:01.680 They actually support all of the causes that you care about.

01:45:04.900 Patriot Mobile is even co-sponsoring the American Journey Experience Sea to Shining Sea with Moms for Liberty on Ellis Island.

01:45:12.720 And I'll be there speaking because, you know, I believe in showing up on ideas that are, you know, built the country.

01:45:18.000 I want you to switch to PatriotMobile.com, PatriotMobile.com slash Beck. 0.69

01:45:21.600 Get a free month of service.

01:45:22.500 You know, I don't want to hear it anymore.

01:45:49.720 I don't know about you.

01:45:50.160 I just don't want to hear it.

01:45:51.600 I'm not saying it's not important.

01:45:52.920 It is.

01:45:54.300 There needs to be accountability.

01:45:55.840 We need full transparency.

01:45:57.140 We need justice for these folks involved in horrific things that we're reading.

01:46:04.380 Obviously, the Epstein files.

01:46:05.600 It doesn't matter, folks.

01:46:06.740 I'm just telling you right now.

01:46:09.440 After what we saw, and this was obvious from the very beginning.

01:46:16.240 After what we saw yesterday in Congress, what was it?

01:46:21.100 300, I just, let me, let me get, let me get the actual, the actual stat or the actual number here.

01:46:27.260 357 members of Congress voted not to release congressional sexual harassment and misconduct records.

01:46:37.660 Well, again, I understand some of this, you know, the records could just be allegations that weren't, it didn't go anywhere.

01:46:51.520 Some of it could be weaponized.

01:46:52.700 I understand there's got to be, got to be a little bit of prudence to it.

01:46:55.180 But all these Democrats and folks have been wagging their finger, all of us, interested in this case in these files, you know, because it's politically expedient now.

01:47:06.600 All that they can point it.

01:47:07.440 By the way, this is what Trump has meant the entire time.

01:47:09.580 I don't think he's done a great job of being able to communicate this.

01:47:12.480 But when he called it a hoax, it's a hoax.

01:47:16.080 Why?

01:47:16.880 He meant it was going to be used as a hoax.

01:47:18.660 Not that the thing, well, he was right in the middle of it.

01:47:20.680 He was one of the guys to rat out Jeffrey Epstein and all the things that were happening.

01:47:23.960 In fact, I think they only wanted to do it.

01:47:26.900 Working with law enforcement, as we've learned in the files.

01:47:32.740 Now, don't get me started on Bill and Hillary last week in the deposition, but the videos that have come out are really wild to see.

01:47:40.120 There's one picture floating around, and it's from the video where Bill is looking down at this.

01:47:45.260 And I think it was him, the one where he's in the hot tub.

01:47:48.980 There's lots of discussion about Bill on the hot tub.

01:47:51.600 He's looking down, and he's got this look on his face with a smile.

01:47:55.220 He's grinning like a Cheshire cat from ear to ear.

01:47:57.920 And you go, there's Bill reliving some dates.

01:48:01.120 It was so bad.

01:48:02.120 It was such an awkward moment that his lawyer, the attorney, she had to reach over and grab that thing from him.

01:48:06.820 And they go, give me that back.

01:48:08.780 Bill, give me it.

01:48:10.120 And he snatched it back out of her hands.

01:48:14.360 One of the things he mentioned, though, is he didn't think that Trump was involved at all.

01:48:17.900 He never had any indication, et cetera, et cetera.

01:48:20.100 Do with that what you will.

01:48:21.220 But what I will say is that it's never been more obvious, I think, today, the way Congress voted yesterday, that these Democrats, they never really cared.

01:48:33.780 They never really cared about getting down to the bottom.

01:48:35.960 They didn't care about victims.

01:48:37.060 They don't care about any of these things.

01:48:38.100 It's all politics.

01:48:39.020 And particularly folks on the right.

01:48:42.360 So, or excuse me, on the left.

01:48:45.720 And what I want to do is walk through the vote, what exactly happened, and talk a little bit about that.

01:48:54.620 And our good friend, Kyle Olson, founder of the Midwestern, the Midwesterner.news, is with us right now.

01:49:00.360 Kyle, thank you.

01:49:00.980 Welcome on to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:49:03.020 Thanks for having me.

01:49:03.800 So, you know, I mean, you watch this vote.

01:49:07.700 I'm trying to make heads or tails of it, sense of it.

01:49:10.080 What am I missing?

01:49:12.840 Well, that's, I think that's what a lot of people are asking is, what are we missing?

01:49:16.260 Why would these 350-some members of Congress not stand up for people who survived pervert members of Congress and release this information?

01:49:30.160 Because what has been happening, and this really, I think, this really sort of came to light during the Me Too, the whole Me Too thing, which was in what?

01:49:40.000 Was it 17 or 18?

01:49:42.420 And people were saying, you know, there is this fund that members of Congress can use to pay off and basically pay settlements for people who are accusing them of, you know, terrible things, assaults and harassment and all kinds of things.

01:50:03.380 And what sort of justice is that, first of all?

01:50:07.200 Secondly, why are tax dollars being used for that?

01:50:11.200 And thirdly, why aren't taxpayers and voters allowed to know what these members of Congress are doing?

01:50:18.400 And my calculations were that over a period of about 20 years, nearly $20 million was spent this way.

01:50:29.720 After Me Too, they sort of, you know, tried to make it go away.

01:50:33.460 But clearly, there is still an issue.

01:50:37.200 Well, and, you know, when there is no accountability, there will continue to be an issue.

01:50:45.740 That's the problem here.

01:50:47.020 When these people think they can get it, well, it doesn't matter what it is, election fraud or fraud in Minneapolis.

01:50:53.520 In fact, I got some clips coming up here in a little bit.

01:50:55.900 I'm trying to get out there of Tim Walz testifying on this yesterday.

01:51:01.080 But when you allow these things to happen, you're going to just get more of it.

01:51:06.320 Right.

01:51:06.900 And so the vote yesterday, Nancy Mace and Tim Burchett sort of took the lead.

01:51:12.000 And they wanted they they had a they wanted a floor vote to force all of these files, which, again, they typically there's there's non-disclosure agreements involved.

01:51:22.760 There's, you know, a lot of secrecy to keep it away from taxpayers.

01:51:27.480 They wanted all of these files from the last 30 years to be made public.

01:51:31.580 And so there was a vote.

01:51:34.220 But but what happened was there was a it was sort of fashioned as a procedural vote where actually what they were going to do.

01:51:41.240 And when I say they, I mean, the majority that voted to do this, they voted to send it to the ethics committee.

01:51:48.200 And so then the ethics committee would decide, well, all this is is bad actors protecting bad actors.

01:51:55.920 And so the public taxpayers voters don't actually get to know what's going on.

01:52:02.100 And so Nancy Mace and Tim Burchett and the others who who voted to not send it to the committee, but they wanted it to, you know, they wanted these records out there.

01:52:13.400 They were very upset about it.

01:52:15.800 As you can imagine, they would be.

01:52:17.900 Now, listen, like I said, there's a lot of politics back and forth.

01:52:25.760 There's a lot of this, particularly when it comes to the folks on the left.

01:52:29.160 But listen, we know what happens both ways.

01:52:30.740 But on the left, they're raking Trump under the coals when it comes to the this whole Epstein situation.

01:52:38.860 There's not really that much there to to go on when it when it comes to the dumps, the things that we've learned and seen otherwise.

01:52:45.320 And by the way, we knew this.

01:52:46.340 We knew this the whole time.

01:52:47.320 Otherwise, they would have used it years ago.

01:52:48.560 I mean, that's obvious logic.

01:52:50.020 But yet they have had no problem really building this whole political strategy around and on the backs of these people who were victims.

01:53:04.740 Absolutely.

01:53:05.720 And when it comes to these the the allegations in Congress, this it knows no party. 0.99

01:53:12.160 There's Democrats and Republicans who are scumbags and who treat people like this. 0.90

01:53:16.680 And so, you know, the people and so I think Representative Mace and Burchett and the others were saying these the taxpayers and citizens of America deserve to know who is doing what in Congress and and then hold those people accountable. 0.97

01:53:35.680 And there was a moment to do that yesterday.

01:54:06.360 It is.

01:54:07.300 It is.

01:54:07.720 It's not a drop in the bucket.

01:54:09.260 And at the same time, it is.

01:54:11.240 It's it's horrific to think of.

01:54:13.460 And you wonder why people vote the way they do on certain things.

01:54:17.160 Well, it's clear.

01:54:18.640 And corporations don't get to operate like this.

01:54:23.440 They have to answer to shareholders.

01:54:25.700 Well, in this case, the taxpayers are the shareholders.

01:54:28.180 And so the Congress for decades has been able to cover this up, you know, abuse people and then pay for it to go away and use our tax dollars to do it.

01:54:41.820 Kyle Olson is a founder at the Midwestern or the Midwestern or dot news.

01:54:46.200 You've done extensive coverage on the national story that was Goshen, the Chinese Communist Party linked battery plant in Michigan where they were trying to put in this.

01:54:56.160 And of course, it was another one of these snow jobs.

01:54:58.420 And now you're seeing this kind of transition into, in fact, Goshen is doing the very same thing, trying to transition into this data center fight, which is happening.

01:55:09.700 People in little old Mecosta County in Michigan stood up, fought back against the not just the Chinese Communist Party, but also the state of Michigan.

01:55:17.780 Lots of folks wanted to push this project through so they could, you know, take their pictures and get their campaign photo ops and cut ribbons and things like that. 0.52

01:55:27.560 But those folks stood up and they fought back in an historic way.

01:55:31.700 Right now, we're watching a very similar issue happen with data centers.

01:55:35.860 And I just, you know, we don't have a lot of time here, but I just thought maybe I'd open that up for you is what you're seeing, in fact, play out.

01:55:42.740 There have been moratoriums, people starting back, and they're sort of saying to themselves, hang on, we've got to wait.

01:55:47.880 These township level folks are saying we've got to do a little more digging on this, which I think is a really good sign.

01:55:53.320 I know President Trump says we need data centers.

01:55:55.460 We need to win the fight AI against China.

01:55:58.060 We obviously need to take a closer look at these things.

01:56:01.900 But the way that it's happening, as fast as it's happening, I believe there's got to be making sure that we're doing the right thing here.

01:56:08.040 And it's an interesting tightrope to walk.

01:56:13.420 Yeah, and to me, that's the fundamental issue is we've got to make sure we're doing it the right way.

01:56:19.160 And to me, candidly, because one of the problems is that the vast majority of these are not being proposed in industrial areas.

01:56:27.860 They're being proposed on farmland and hundreds of acres of farmland.

01:56:32.040 And then, of course, once you've got a massive facility like that in farmland, you're not going to get rid of that.

01:56:38.040 But to me, one of the biggest scandals – so if a township wants to have that, then I think that they should be able to go through that process, just like what happened with Goshen.

01:56:49.220 The local residents were very clear they didn't want that.

01:56:52.720 And they didn't want that massive facility that had the potential to spy on the Air Force base.

01:56:59.360 They didn't want that to disrupt their rural environment.

01:57:03.060 They didn't want that.

01:57:03.900 And the local township said, well, we're going to do it anyway.

01:57:07.340 Well, then they threw those people out.

01:57:09.600 And the residents of Green Charter Township ultimately won.

01:57:13.680 And I think one of the bad lessons that the Gretchen Whitmer administration took away from that was, well, we know best, and so we're going to take local control away.

01:57:24.660 And so if there is a developer of a solar power plant or a wind farm or a data center and they want to put that on that farmland, they can come to Lansing and get the people she appointed to approve that.

01:57:44.100 And the local people have no say.

01:57:46.780 To me, I mean, that's just a crime.

01:57:49.180 And then, of course, there's questions about energy usage.

01:57:54.360 Is it going to force energy rates to go up? 0.72

01:57:57.620 What is the water usage like?

01:57:59.460 There's a lot of these questions.

01:58:01.240 And the Whitmer administration has no plan for any of this.

01:58:05.000 It's just a free-for-all.

01:58:06.980 And what we're seeing is the instances where local residents are standing up.

01:58:13.580 But a lot of times they don't have a lot to stand up on because the Whitmer administration took their local control away.

01:58:21.740 Kyle Olson, the founder at the Midwestern or the Midwestern or .news.

01:58:25.580 Bring it up because this is not just a Michigan story.

01:58:28.020 This is a story that will impact everyone across the country, folks, as this whole fight continues.

01:58:34.640 And, look, we've got to make sure we have all the information so we can make the best decisions.

01:58:39.620 That's just how it works.

01:58:40.860 Thank you, my friend.

01:58:41.400 Always a pleasure.

01:58:41.940 Happy to. Thanks.

01:58:44.020 You got it. God bless.

01:58:44.980 Back with more after this.

01:58:46.260 We lost a legend yesterday, folks.

01:58:49.960 Investing is all about the future.

01:58:51.960 So what do you think is going to happen?

01:58:53.980 Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point.

01:58:56.440 I think it would come down to precious metals.

01:58:59.040 I hope we don't go cashless.

01:59:01.140 I would say land is a safe investment.

01:59:03.760 Technology, companies.

01:59:04.880 Solar energy.

01:59:05.920 Robotic pollinators might be a thing. 1.00

01:59:08.260 A wrestler to face a robot.

01:59:10.180 That will have to happen.

01:59:11.460 So whatever you think is going to happen in the future, you can invest in it at Wealthsimple.

01:59:20.880 Next on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:59:22.560 Too many people have forgotten that we're not enemies.

01:59:26.220 We're Americans.

01:59:29.160 Glenn Beck returns in a moment.

01:59:30.720 Israel is a very hot topic right now, and with so many opinions and emotions surrounding it, it can feel hard to know where to even start.

01:59:51.320 The Bible tells us, I will bless those who bless you.

01:59:54.780 That isn't just a comforting promise.

01:59:56.540 It is a clear calling from God.

01:59:58.540 And today, with anti-Semitism rising around the world and here in our country, that calling is more urgent than ever.

02:00:03.620 It doesn't mean that you have to agree with the policies of Israel or defend wars or anything else.

02:00:08.000 But at a time when Jewish communities are experiencing more hostility, more threats, and more violence than ever, Christians have a powerful opportunity to respond with God's love and to say, you're not alone.

02:00:17.420 When Christians choose to bless Israel, they are not entering a political issue.

02:00:21.320 They're honoring the root of our faith and standing against hatred.

02:00:24.480 Supporting Israel is more than just a belief.

02:00:26.660 It's a biblical mandate.

02:00:28.020 And by partnering with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, you can push back against the darkness and be a light to God's people.

02:00:34.140 Learn how you can bless the people of Israel and be blessed in return.

02:00:47.420 Lost a legend yesterday, Lou Holtz, former football coach, but left a legacy much bigger than that, obviously, at Notre Dame and so many other schools.

02:01:09.080 Just like any other newspaper, you have front page for people who want to read the news.

02:01:14.160 This is Lou doing what's called the newspaper trick when he was speaking with, I believe, a football team down in Texas.

02:01:20.860 You have the comic where people can't read.

02:01:24.460 And you have the editorial page where people can't say.

02:01:29.020 But you can't let people tear you up.

02:01:32.660 You can't let people destroy you.

02:01:34.960 You can't let people say you aren't going to be great.

02:01:39.000 Lou's tearing up the newspaper here.

02:01:40.600 You can't do something.

02:01:42.800 My personal belief is there isn't any obstacle that's going to keep me from being successful.

02:01:49.700 Difficult?

02:01:50.320 You're doggone right.

02:01:51.200 That's why so few people achieve success.

02:01:54.600 Don't let people tear you up.

02:01:56.500 Don't let people tear you down.

02:01:57.860 Don't let people cause you to lose the faith and confidence you have in yourself.

02:02:02.160 Because if you really have a strong faith and a strong belief.

02:02:08.260 They're reacting because the newspaper is now full.

02:02:14.320 It's called the newspaper trick.

02:02:16.060 And he did that numerous times when he spoke.

02:02:18.740 Lou, one of the greatest, here he is, President, awarding him with the Medal of Freedom.

02:02:24.640 I will say this about Lou.

02:02:25.680 Everybody loves him.

02:02:26.680 Everybody respects him.

02:02:27.800 He's tough as hell.

02:02:29.820 And yet they all respect Lou.

02:02:31.980 They just, it's amazing.

02:02:33.740 They love him and they respect him.

02:02:35.580 Sometimes it's a combination that doesn't come together.

02:02:38.680 You know?

02:02:39.180 They respect.

02:02:40.580 But you are something.

02:02:42.680 I never coached football.

02:02:45.080 I coached life, he said.

02:02:46.440 And it's true. 0.56

02:02:47.120 His players really always loved him.

02:02:50.960 Here's what his son had to say, Skip.

02:02:52.780 My father passed away today.

02:02:55.320 Resting peacefully at home.

02:02:58.120 I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers over the last couple of months.

02:03:02.220 He was successful.

02:03:04.080 But more important, he was significant.

02:03:10.440 What a great reminder to go out, even though they don't make them like they used to.

02:03:14.800 Right, Lou?

02:03:16.500 Walk in those footsteps.

02:03:17.760 Be significant today.

02:03:22.060 Do something.

02:03:23.060 We all can.

02:03:24.080 God bless you, folks.

02:03:24.980 Justin Barkley and for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.

02:03:27.540 It's always a pleasure.

02:03:29.260 Always an honor to be here with you.
