00:00:00.000 Most people think preparedness is just about what you buy ahead of time.

00:00:04.240 You get the kit, you put it somewhere safe, and you say, okay, I'm covered.

00:00:07.660 But let's be honest, that's really only half of it, because when something actually happens, the question is, do I have this?

00:00:13.380 The question is, do I know what to do with it?

00:02:40.760 Hello, Happy Warriors.

00:02:42.840 Hello, America.

00:02:43.980 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:45.560 It is Monday, and we've heard a lot recently about how this war is not good for America.

00:02:54.040 It's not America first. 0.99

00:02:55.460 Donald Trump is a chicken. 1.00

00:02:57.540 Donald Trump is a bloodthirsty warmonger. 1.00

00:03:01.200 I mean, the whole thing. 0.97

00:03:03.160 I mean, it's been hysterical to watch unless you've been arguing it back and forth.

00:03:08.340 And I've been trying to tell you don't argue.

00:03:10.580 Don't argue about it.

00:03:11.820 Let's just keep your powder dry.

00:03:14.140 just look at the facts look at the numbers and it'll all explain itself in time and it's beginning

00:03:20.980 to do that now you're going to hear a lot of people talk about the 21 hours in islamapod

00:03:26.100 and oh my gosh what was donald trump thinking and we're going back into war and it's going to

00:03:30.920 be a never-ending war oh my gosh can you please please hold the hounds back for a minute let's

00:03:40.680 actually just look at the facts and the numbers because it'll tell you exactly where we are headed

00:03:46.520 and we do that in 60 seconds first for 250 years americans have believed in one simple powerful

00:03:52.240 idea and that is that we were meant to be free to work hard to free to move free to enjoy life

00:03:58.260 without something holding us back and there's a very personal side of that idea as well because

00:04:03.500 if you're dealing with everyday aches and pains you know exactly what it feels like to have

00:04:06.860 things a little less free things that aren't as easy as they used to be and you don't realize

00:04:12.240 how much it's changed your day until you step back and look at it and that is why relief factor

00:04:52.740 talks in islamabad collapsed yesterday uh jd vance called it bad news for iran everybody else said i

00:05:01.000 don't know it looks like donald trump is gonna get us out oh it's like honestly it's like the

00:05:10.980 internet has rabies stop it stop it remember last week everybody's saying oh donald trump

00:05:19.120 donald trump he's just wimping out he's gonna give in to all of it he's gonna be a whip and

00:05:24.680 We did this all for another.

00:05:26.100 Did you see why Iran walked away?

00:05:29.800 Because everybody who said he was a chicken hawk last week

00:05:33.760 looks like you were proven wrong because we walked away

00:05:38.480 because we said, no, you have to end all uranium enrichment.

00:05:44.180 Dismantle all major nuclear enrichment facilities.

00:05:47.180 Retrieve highly enriched uranium.

00:05:49.420 Accept a broader peace, security and de-escalation framework

00:05:52.220 that includes your regional allies.

00:05:54.680 and funding for terrorist proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis,

00:05:58.520 and fully opened the Strait of Hormuz, charging no tolls for passage.

00:06:04.260 That was our red line.

00:06:06.460 I told you that last week.

00:06:07.620 Donald Trump told you that weeks and weeks and weeks ago.

00:06:10.840 But everybody online...

00:06:12.340 There's a really important reason I am starting with the rabid dogs.

00:06:21.720 because it is why these talks fell apart yesterday i'll explain first let me just

00:06:28.120 continue on on the talks here trump immediately announced the u.s navy was going to enforce a

00:06:33.660 full blockade of the strait of her moves now what does that mean because i thought we were here

00:06:38.020 i'm saying we got to keep the strait of her moves open yeah okay for the water feet think people

00:06:45.280 think he's meaning he is going to make sure that it is open but if you get any oil from Iran you're

00:06:54.040 not moving if you are paying a toll to Iran you're not going anywhere but he will keep the straight

00:07:00.100 open for everybody else that's what he's talking about he's going to interdict any ships paying

00:07:06.980 the illegal tolls he's clearing the mines he did that as soon as they sat down on the table he went

00:07:11.540 in there and he started clearing the mines and he's going to prevent entry and exit for any ship

00:07:16.700 that is headed towards iran two-week ceasefire now on life support especially with israel still 0.51

00:07:23.560 hammering hezbollah and lebanon but you know iran is saying we don't control them yeah well we can

00:07:29.840 say we don't control israel one of us is telling the truth the other one's not um this is exactly

00:07:36.700 the leverage that Trump telegraphed. He said it was coming. Iran came ready to negotiate,

00:07:43.200 but believed it held enough cards. And when you look at it, you got to ask yourself,

00:07:48.460 what cards do they think they hold? What cards do they hold? Oh, I'll tell you here in a second.

00:07:55.960 But here's what we learned. So far, Iran is not suicidal in the conventional sense, okay?

00:08:02.260 I told you these are 12ers, they believe, you know, that chaos and martyrdom will hasten the return of the promised one and end of the times and blah, blah, blah. 1.00

00:08:11.520 They still believe all of that crap, okay? 0.99

00:08:15.200 However, it's not hardline, hardline. 0.99

00:08:20.860 What's happening here is they are looking at this and saying, that's real.

00:08:28.420 However, there's enough people at the table who are like, yeah, you can frame suffering as sacred destiny, but we'd rather not all die.

00:08:39.060 The delegation that showed up proves that they calculate survival.

00:08:45.940 There were enough people at the table.

00:08:47.480 They brought everybody they needed to bring.

00:08:49.320 This was not a joke of a ceasefire or a peace hearing.

00:08:55.300 But they weren't purely death cult. They're a hybrid. They're also not purely regime preservation and proxy leverage. They're a hybrid.

00:09:08.000 So I'll show you here in a minute. We have a guest who's done the math, and he'll show you the suffering that they will actually have.

00:09:17.900 The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is going to cost Iran approximately $276 million a day in lost exports, $159 million a day in imports.

00:09:29.280 That's a combined economic damage of $435 million a day or $13 billion a month.

00:09:38.020 90% of their annual trade comes through there.

00:09:43.080 So they are in trouble.

00:09:46.000 They're in real, real trouble.

00:09:47.420 So why?

00:09:48.520 Because collapse is coming.

00:09:50.660 Pain is insured.

00:09:52.700 What do they see that we don't?

00:09:57.700 You're not going to like the answer.

00:09:59.900 It's not missiles.

00:10:01.380 It's not that they have secret weapons.

00:10:05.080 What do they see that we don't?

00:10:08.400 They see us.

00:10:09.660 they see our domestic divisions more clearly than we do social media has turned the fog of war

00:10:19.740 into a superpower it really is every oil price tweet every anti-war clip every mega versus neocon

00:10:28.100 argument is amplified and it's heard all over the world they believe that trump is transactional

00:10:36.180 and he hates forever wars they believe that other podcasters don't but they do and they know that

00:10:44.040 they he might settle for a face-saving deal if the pain gas prices stock market hits you they

00:10:52.820 also know america is really tired of these wars we're polarized and sustained pressure could

00:10:59.120 fracture U.S. support the way it did in Iraq and in Afghanistan. They also see that global

00:11:06.720 dependence on oil gives them asymmetric power, close to the strait, even partially. You close

00:11:15.100 that and the world screams at Washington, not Tehran, and they know that. They also know China

00:11:21.940 and Russia will backstop them. Weapons, diplomatic cover, oil purchases, or so they think. Now,

00:11:28.940 here's what they really see.

00:11:31.320 They believe their people will endure hardship under martyrdom narrative

00:11:35.940 longer than the Western public will tolerate high gas prices.

00:11:41.040 So this isn't,

00:11:42.360 they don't have any real power in a military sense because they're way

00:11:45.880 overmatched.

00:11:46.420 They're done.

00:11:47.820 Their power comes in time.

00:11:50.900 They believe time and pain on our side will win the war for them.

00:11:58.940 That's what's really happening here, okay?

00:12:02.540 When you look at all of this, you have to realize it's us that they see.

00:12:11.800 It is us.

00:12:13.480 That's why it is so incredibly critical to make sure that we are, we can argue amongst ourselves.

00:12:22.440 But when you go online, that is global now.

00:12:27.000 That's all global, okay?

00:12:28.780 so what do we do well we we listen to the warning that the fog of war is now amplified

00:12:38.700 tiktok x instagram everywhere mega voters especially don't let podcasters or party

00:12:48.440 loyalty you know march you into a team war don't wait just wait process the facts the 0.70

00:12:58.340 Iranian regime is a civilizational threat. It is. It's rooted in this 12-er eschatology that says 0.99

00:13:08.480 the Antichrist, they think it's coming from us, we think it's coming from them, the Antichrist

00:13:14.440 is coming and they will hasten the return of all of that. So process the facts, know what they

00:13:21.540 actually believe, and then stand up for us defending what is important to us

00:13:29.500 without becoming the world's policeman. We don't need to be the world's policeman. I don't want to

00:13:35.420 be the world's policeman. I don't want to be in another war, okay? I don't. But when you're playing

00:13:40.200 big stakes, buck up, buck up. And I want to show you the numbers here in just a few minutes,

00:13:47.160 because those numbers are staggering

00:13:49.620 on what they're facing.

00:13:51.420 And then at the top of next hour,

00:13:53.140 I want to show you a bigger picture.

00:13:56.940 I want you just to step back and go,

00:13:59.540 wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:14:01.420 Let's stop thinking like podcasters.

00:14:04.680 Let's stop thinking like CNN.

00:14:08.260 Let's stop thinking today, today, today.

00:14:12.200 I hate to say this,

00:14:13.680 but can we stop thinking like McDonald's Americans for a while?

00:14:16.720 Let's actually step back and look at the bigger picture because it's already beginning to happen.

00:14:22.080 There is some facts here I want to give you, and this came from Jesus Rojas.

00:14:33.820 He says, hundreds of super tankers, the kind that carry 2 million barrels each, are currently racing toward, where do you think?

00:14:41.040 the U.S. Gulf Coast from every direction the Atlantic Indian Ocean around Africa

00:14:50.140 Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz everyone panicked oil hit 126 dollars a barrel gas hits four dollars

00:14:56.560 a gallon cable news does a thing where they put the red banner on the screen and they say crisis

00:15:02.000 and everybody should start hoarding toilet paper and then something happened that nobody in the

00:15:07.480 seemed interested in reporting for obvious reasons. The world, did it just switch suppliers?

00:15:15.340 Like changing your internet provider, except the internet provider is the entire global energy

00:15:21.120 economy. American oil exports are now approaching record levels. Gulf Coast refineries are running

00:15:28.980 at 95 percent capacity. Super tankers that were mid-ocean on their way to the Persian Gulf

00:15:37.020 literally turned around and headed towards Texas. This is not a metaphor. Ship tracking data shows

00:15:44.480 them doing U-turns in the Indian Ocean. Meanwhile, in China, which is getting 45 percent of its oil

00:15:52.480 imports through Hormuz and paying basement prices for sanctioned Iranian crude, is now competing

00:15:57.620 with japan and europe for the same expensive american barrels chinese manufacturers are

00:16:02.540 already raising prices 20 on goods so to summarize iran has played its biggest card and the main 0.79

00:16:10.840 result is that the united states has become the world's emergency gas station and china's cheap

00:16:17.740 energy subsidy has evaporated either that's the most elaborate coincidence in the history of the

00:16:24.980 world or something good is working for america and those who put america first i'll go into a

00:16:32.840 little bit more of this with jason here in just a second first let me pause for 60 seconds and

00:16:37.420 tell you about z factor it's the end of the day nothing left for you to do everybody's in bed the

00:16:42.220 lights are out and you're lying there with your head on the pillow ready for that please sweet

00:16:46.360 jesus come and give me the release of some sleep here and you're just staring and staring and

00:16:51.720 you're exhausted but you're wide awake watching the clock doing the math on how little sleep you're

00:16:55.500 about to get wondering is it even possible to be this tired and still not sleep that's the part

00:17:00.920 that always gets you isn't it because you did everything right you showed up you worked you

00:17:05.540 made it through the day and now your body is supposed to naturally do what it's supposed to

00:17:09.080 do and that's sleep this is why z factor exists it's a sleep supplement from the makers of relief

00:17:14.240 factor it's designed to help you fall asleep faster stay asleep longer so your body can actually

00:17:19.080 do what it's supposed to do when you hit the pillow because when the sleep when the day is

00:17:23.820 over sleep needs to show up right now save 46 off your first order it's 1995 for a 30-day supply

00:17:31.120 call 1-800-4-RELIEF that's 1-800 the number for relief or visit relieffactor.com 10 seconds

00:17:49.080 so last week in a tweet nobody talked about because i don't think anybody understood it

00:17:56.540 i did i don't think anybody understood it donald trump tweeted out world's most powerful reset

00:18:04.760 president djt what does that mean

00:18:09.540 i have been telling you since maybe day 70 of his regime oh my gosh do you see what he is doing

00:18:21.460 i didn't even expect this do you see what he is doing he is resetting the entire world

00:18:28.600 what the wef took 30 years to set up and then not accomplish yet what the what the united nations

00:18:38.060 spent almost 100 years trying to accomplish and hasn't. Donald Trump has done in his first year

00:18:45.640 and a half. And it's about to close the door here. He is resetting everything into an America first

00:18:53.500 position. Now, yes, it's costing us money. It's costing us money and treasure and possible blood.

00:19:00.440 It is costing us money at the gas station. I went yesterday to fill up the gas tank of the car and

00:19:06.560 oh my gosh, I don't know how the average person is affording any of this. I don't know. It can't

00:19:12.160 last. We can't continue down this way. But if we can hold on, we win. It is a great reset,

00:19:21.020 but a good one, a good great reset, if you will. And the president in his tweet just verified this

00:19:27.560 last week. So I'll explain all of that coming up in just about 45 minutes from now. I wanted to

00:19:34.300 check with Jason. What am I missing here, Jason? Part of the, I mean, most of it's right on. I

00:19:40.880 think part of this reset has just been analyzing the Strait of Hormuz. And I mean, you've said

00:19:46.660 this earlier in the week when you said, watch the Strait of Hormuz. It will tell you so much

00:19:52.000 about where this war is going, the eventual outcome, and what this potential next reset of

00:19:59.480 how things are operated, especially in this region. But the president is doing this all

00:20:04.160 over the world, whether it's in Western Europe, all over. And we're looking at the Middle East

00:20:09.560 now, but it has always been a major trump card for Iran to play this right now and shutting down 0.62

00:20:16.540 the Strait of Hormuz. It's really what has kept them in power for as long as they have been, 0.77

00:20:20.820 this threat. Well, the Iranians completely miscalculated this. They played their 0.98

00:20:25.400 one and only card and now they're watching it shatter right before their eyes for one we look

00:20:31.240 at just the state of oil production and where it's traveling right now after the closure of

00:20:37.100 the strait well what's happening within the gulf kingdoms is they're just looking at ways to

00:20:41.320 diversify they are they already wanted to do this on diversify how they get their oil out of the

00:20:46.120 country but what iran has forced them into doing is accelerating these plants you look at the

00:20:51.580 Saudis. The Saudis have what they call the East-West pipeline. They are now running that

00:20:56.240 at almost top capacity, redirecting vast amounts of their oil production across the country,

00:21:04.840 and it exits out the Red Sea. UAE is doing the same thing. They're looking at alternate ways.

00:21:11.140 They are doing that right now. About 30%, roughly 30% of the oil is completely bypassing the Strait

00:21:17.520 of Hormuz, not even going out of tankers. And there's other countries like Kuwait, Bahrain

00:21:22.760 that are looking into doing the same thing. This is just accelerated that entire process. And you

00:21:29.240 and you spoke about the tankers. I wish I could pull up the the maybe I can. I don't know this

00:21:36.300 map right now. The map. This is there. It is crazy. Look at that. These are all the tankers

00:21:43.080 that are saying okay screw it we are now headed from all directions they are now headed towards

00:21:48.400 the gulf coast of the united states it is wild i can't i can't see it from where i am jason

00:21:54.620 are there the actual can you see the actual u-turns on some of these you can't see the

00:21:59.080 u-turns you probably could if you're watching it live but yeah it's they're going around the

00:22:03.740 horn of africa all the way to i mean it is just insane what this has accelerated and that's what

00:22:10.160 it has done it is accelerated where this goes from here i think iran is looking at this as saying

00:22:15.220 pretty much the jig is up pretty much the jig is up not only are they losing uh you know in the

00:22:21.240 future as far as what they have as far as options are to keep their regime alive but they're also

00:22:27.480 they're also losing daily about roughly a little over 200 million dollars as soon as this embargo

00:22:35.040 happens, which is in about 30 minutes, over $200 million a day to keep them afloat.

00:22:43.040 It's pretty remarkable what is happening. I want to give you the numbers. I mean, look,

00:22:47.500 I can give you an opinion. Everybody has an opinion today. We don't have enough facts.

00:22:52.020 I can give you an opinion, but I want to really leave you with the facts of the day.

00:22:59.200 We've given you some facts.

00:23:00.700 Let me go to another expert who's got even more facts to back this up,

00:23:05.600 that this is not a loss here, gang.

00:23:08.480 This is actually working quite well.

00:23:11.780 Would it have been nice to have a peace deal?

00:23:15.280 Yes, if they would have given in to all those demands, but they're not going to.

00:23:19.420 So, is this working?

00:23:21.280 Next.

00:23:21.960 First, let me tell you about pre-born.

00:23:23.720 There is no photo on a milk carton.

00:23:26.240 There's no headlines with a name in it.

00:23:29.160 There's no search party combing the woods. 0.88

00:23:31.080 And yet, a life is missing because of abortion.

00:23:35.960 Abortion was had in fear, without hope, without fully realizing there was another way.

00:23:41.820 So often that decision is about the lack of truth.

00:23:45.180 Lack of somebody stepping in and saying, wait, wait, wait, you're not alone.

00:23:48.040 You're not. There is a way.

00:23:50.180 This is why pre-born exists. 0.84

00:23:51.380 They provide free ultrasound so a mom can hear her baby and hear that heartbeat. 1.00

00:23:55.320 and then they stay with her.

00:23:57.760 They stay with her through the pregnancy

00:23:59.120 and up to two years after her child's birth,

00:24:01.800 offering real support,

00:24:03.240 sharing the hope of the gospel,

00:24:04.580 sharing, I mean, anything from clothes to food to books

00:24:08.220 and actual one-on-one help to help raise the child.

00:24:12.840 It's amazing.

00:24:13.700 Now, Preborn has a goal of 11,000 gospel conversations

00:24:17.480 in a Preborn network clinic this month,

00:24:21.020 trusting God to bring increase

00:24:22.940 as they remain faithful to speak.

00:24:24.820 So you make that possible.

00:24:26.760 Sponsor an ultrasound right now. 1.00

00:24:28.420 Just $28 will provide one ultrasound for a mom in need. 1.00

00:24:32.460 $140, five moms. 0.97

00:24:34.800 Preborn.com slash Beck.

00:24:36.440 Preborn.com pound 250.

00:24:38.700 Say the keyword baby.

00:24:40.340 Pound 250, keyword baby.

00:24:41.820 A lot more coming up in just a second.

00:24:43.880 Stand by and grab it all at glennbeck.com slash torch.

00:24:54.820 so there's a couple of things that you know if you just watch donald trump over the years

00:25:04.320 there's a couple of things that you can learn from him um he he doesn't bluff

00:25:10.000 um when he negotiates he negotiates from a position of strength and uh when he knows

00:25:17.700 that's the best deal he can get he leaves um those are important because he has a lifetime

00:25:26.660 record of that so he's not bluffing and we rejected a deal and the world is freaking out a lot of

00:25:34.240 people online are freaking out saying oh we're gonna be on an endless war and it's easy to say

00:25:40.000 well wait a minute we have just taken apart their military we have destroyed them what do they have

00:25:46.240 What do they have that they think can beat us now?

00:25:50.400 And my thought is they see us.

00:25:54.480 They see us panicking.

00:25:55.880 They see us.

00:25:56.580 They know that we don't like never-ending wars.

00:25:59.400 They know that we can't handle high gas prices.

00:26:02.060 We'd sell our mother for low gas prices, especially when we don't understand what's going on.

00:26:07.520 And so they think they can wait us out.

00:26:09.460 But what Donald Trump knows that we have that they don't is time as well.

00:26:18.040 The amount of money that they are losing and what is happening right now in the straight and what is now coming our way, we are changing the way oil and the oil business is being done.

00:26:32.480 We have Miod Malecki on with us.

00:26:35.220 He is from the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, senior fellow there.

00:26:39.460 He has been involved in this.

00:26:41.460 He played a central role with the Treasury Department's sanctions, the campaigns against Iran, and the proxy networks.

00:26:49.160 He is also the assistant director for counterterrorism, nonproliferation, Middle East sanctions.

00:26:54.920 He has been deeply in this for a very long time.

00:26:58.700 And I wanted to get him on because he is seeing things that we fail to look at.

00:27:03.860 You have to look at the numbers and what is actually happening with oil and the Strait of Hormuz.

00:27:10.960 Miod, how are you?

00:27:13.700 Good, how are you? Great to be with you.

00:27:16.740 Yeah, great to have you.

00:27:18.280 Tell us the story as you see it.

00:27:20.760 What is actually happening here?

00:27:24.980 Well, I mean, just very quickly, just setting the stage here, you know, before the war,

00:27:29.700 Before we started the strikes with our Israeli partners jointly against the Iranian regime, their state of economy was already in a state of crisis.

00:27:39.860 You know, they had an inflation of 60 percent and the food inflation was just accelerating.

00:27:46.400 Unemployment rate, I mean, you're looking at somewhere between 20 to 30 percent. 1.00

00:27:50.860 And that's a number that comes out of Iran. 1.00

00:27:53.340 So I would take that with a grain of salt. 0.75

00:27:55.500 I mean, they're doing more propaganda than anything else.

00:27:58.720 The real, the currency value, was $1.4 million per dollar.

00:28:04.980 I mean, this is the lowest since 1979.

00:28:07.700 So they're already in a significant state of crisis.

00:28:12.840 And then we go through this round of war, and there's the damage that they're taking from the strikes, but also internally they shut down their internet.

00:28:21.920 Now, that's been overlooked because that's a major economic revenue generating kind of sector in Iran.

00:28:28.940 And they have shut down the Internet for 47 years.

00:28:31.840 That comes with major economic costs for Iran.

00:28:35.980 And then now we're discussing this whole blockade.

00:28:38.180 Now, let me tell you this.

00:28:39.900 The Iranian oil that goes to the market, it's about 1.3 to 1.5 barrels a day.

00:28:46.080 And that only goes to China.

00:28:47.820 It actually goes at a discounted rate to the teapot refineries.

00:28:52.300 These are small to medium-sized refineries in China.

00:28:55.620 They buy the oil at a discounted cheap rate, and then they produce petrochemical products that are actually competing with the petrochemical products that we produce and our partners.

00:29:06.880 And we just can't keep up with the pricing that the Chinese producers are putting out in the market because they're buying cheap Iranian oil.

00:29:13.340 So the cheap Iranian oil in the market is not feeding the formal market.

00:29:17.980 It's not really helping us or any of our allies, but it's helping the Chinese to compete with our own petrochemical production.

00:29:29.200 So would you say in some ways, I mean, the real target here is to stop the proxies and stop the terror coming out of Iran and the nuclear weapons, etc., etc. 0.93

00:29:42.020 But I think an equal or slightly lower priority is to stop China. 0.72

00:29:50.960 I mean, China had this plan to collapse the American currency by going in and getting the oil from Venezuela and then Iran and then making their own petrodollar, if you will, which would harm us. 0.83

00:30:04.100 We've taken away Venezuela.

00:30:05.740 We take this away. 1.00

00:30:07.320 We've really hurt China, have we not?

00:30:09.240 that's absolutely right i mean they're gonna have to accept that they need to buy oil at the same

00:30:18.100 rate that we are buying or our allies and partners are buying or reselling

00:30:22.580 they need they need to to compete in a fair manner with us and i'm hoping that you know

00:30:29.800 when they can't get iranian oil at such a discounted rate then they're going to have to face

00:30:34.480 the reality in the market that other, you know, the West is facing. 0.59

00:30:37.760 Now, on the terrorism side, you know, it's a very good question that you ask, a point

00:30:43.940 that you raise. 1.00

00:30:45.000 Listen, Iranians are causing a lot of issues in the Middle East for us. 1.00

00:30:48.120 They've killed our uniformed personnel. 1.00

00:30:50.540 They've targeted our allies and our interests in the region. 1.00

00:30:53.920 But the way that Iranians, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or the Zahmic Republic operates, they 1.00

00:31:00.460 bring conflict and pain to their adversaries, to the borders. 1.00

00:31:03.740 See what they've done in Israel. 0.65

00:31:05.240 They've set up Lebanese Hezbollah, Hamas, 0.61

00:31:07.220 Khao-Sinai Islamic Jihad around Israel.

00:31:09.520 They've done the same thing with the Saudis and Emiratis.

00:31:11.860 They're funding the Fusi militias to target them.

00:31:14.900 And here's what's been overlooked. 0.81

00:31:16.760 Iranians have been building drone manufacturing sites 0.95

00:31:20.000 in Venezuela, in our backyard. 1.00

00:31:21.960 Some of these drones that they were producing

00:31:23.760 or they were putting together in Venezuela,

00:31:26.280 their range includes southern U.S., Texas, and Florida. 0.96

00:31:30.620 So it is in the Iranian regime's blood 0.96

00:31:33.500 to to look into what how they can export the revolution to the borders of their adversaries 0.93

00:31:41.180 and that's exactly what they were doing in venezuela that was keeping me up at night just

00:31:44.620 thinking and knowing that they were setting up those capabilities in venezuela in our border

00:31:50.780 and uh that's a threat that the campaign the war and they can't the blocking campaign is going to

00:31:56.940 to stop. So Miod, I think everybody was looking at this and saying, what do they have? And people

00:32:05.120 are immediately going to, well, they're going to plot a big terrorist attack or whatever. And that

00:32:08.820 might be part of it. I don't know. I hope to God not. But what do they have? And my answer today

00:32:14.600 for my audience has been, they see us as their greatest tool. They see the divisions, they see

00:32:22.320 gas prices and they think they can hold out longer than we can hold out and i'm not talking

00:32:29.020 about a long period of time i'm talking about you know a month that they just think that we will not

00:32:35.360 we don't have the stomach for war and we certainly don't have the stomach for gas and donald trump

00:32:41.160 will fold because he'll see this starting to hurt the polls etc etc do you find that to be a valid

00:32:47.780 uh idea for them as that's their greatest weapon is us

00:32:53.860 oh absolutely right i gotta tell you iranian regime has focused more head they've invested

00:33:01.880 more in propaganda and messaging here in the u.s and messaging the u.s audiences as a matter of

00:33:08.940 fact yesterday uh the head of iran's parliament muhammad bagar ghalibov who was in islamabad in

00:33:15.600 Pakistan, negotiating with Mr. Vance, J.D. Vance and Mr. Witkoff and Kushner, he was

00:33:22.840 back in Iran.

00:33:23.840 And the one tweet that he sent out yesterday was a screenshot of gas stations and gas prices

00:33:30.400 around the White House.

00:33:32.200 And that tweet was in response to President Trump's message about the blockade.

00:33:37.860 And he was directly talking to the Iranians about the, I'm sorry, to the U.S. audiences

00:33:44.880 that the gas price is going to go up. 0.93

00:33:47.480 So, right, so that's exactly the type of messaging

00:33:50.200 they have invested in.

00:33:51.260 That's the only hope right now

00:33:53.800 that President Trump would give in

00:33:58.500 to the pressure domestically and pull out.

00:34:02.520 And that's exactly what they're hoping for.

00:34:06.260 So, and I know nobody knows,

00:34:08.560 but with just a guess at looking at the numbers,

00:34:11.680 if Donald Trump can get in there

00:34:13.880 And close, open it up for anybody taking oil from anyone else but Iran, but close the strait for anybody trying to get in or out to take oil from Iran.

00:34:27.580 If they can, if he can do that, how long before the people just can't take it in Iran?

00:34:34.860 They just, it just is not viable for them anymore.

00:34:41.040 Well, Glenn, I mean, that's, that's again, that's a really good point. 1.00

00:34:44.880 I think Iranians have been fed up.

00:34:46.460 I mean, we had the January protests in Iran.

00:34:48.660 The regime had to kill over 40,000 Iranians in a matter of two days.

00:34:53.040 I mean, that number, just think about it.

00:34:55.340 Historically, you can't find a government that would kill 40.

00:34:59.120 I mean, ISIS, the Sony terrorist organizations in Iraq and in Syria,

00:35:04.640 none of them came close to this number of killing 40,000 innocent protesters or civilians.

00:35:10.820 That's how the regime managed to get out of the month of January.

00:35:13.880 And then we have this sort of this strikes against against Iranian regime.

00:35:17.940 Now, it makes sense that you don't see protests right now because because there is a campaign of airstrikes that has been going on.

00:35:26.500 Actually, SEMCOM commander went out and asked Iranians to stay home and don't take it to the streets yet.

00:35:31.880 I think the regime has reached a point that it knows that economically it just can't sustain running a country, running the country. 0.98

00:35:40.820 And that's why they keep buying time. They wanted these negotiations. They were trying to get some type of relief. Now, if the blockade is successful, you know, there's six Persian Gulf ports that handle about 90 percent of the entire Iranian trade.

00:35:55.000 Now, if all those get blocked, you have the daily export loss of about $276 million a day, and you have a daily import disruption of about $160 million in import that goes into Iran.

00:36:10.820 Now, what is going to really be affected here is Iran's ability to produce oil, because they have about 13 days of the storage left to keep storing oil.

00:36:22.060 After that, they're going to have to stop extracting oil.

00:36:27.120 They're going to have to shut down some of these oil wells.

00:36:30.680 And that would be a huge effect, a huge impact to their oil production.

00:36:36.280 And it's going to take a month, if not years, to go back to the level that they're extracting oil right now.

00:36:42.620 So that's kind of a situation they're going to be facing with a blockade.

00:36:46.760 any idea at all and i know this is kind of out of your wheelhouse but um what is it going to take

00:36:56.100 for the people to actually rise up and come back out i mean after killing 40 000 people

00:37:02.100 even in a country our size with the population of 350 million you kill 40 000 people and you've got

00:37:09.940 americans not wanting to go out on the streets

00:37:12.840 yeah i mean here's here's the reality and president trump has been very right about this

00:37:19.460 uh the iranians uh they don't have guns they don't have weapons if they go on the street

00:37:24.820 they're going to have to face machine guns by the rgc the islamic revolutionary guards

00:37:29.160 and their militias on the streets i've seen reports of the regime bringing in some of his

00:37:34.540 militias from Iraq to help the regime crack down on any protest. The internet has been shut down

00:37:40.600 for 47 days in Iran. Just imagine not having internet for 47 days. We don't hear from Iran.

00:37:46.920 I get messages from some Iranians when they get their hands on a Starlink or some type of internet

00:37:52.260 that is not really reliable because regime keeps blocking them. But I think Iranians have been fed 0.87

00:37:58.980 up. I think very soon 1.00

00:38:01.040 you're going to see 1.00

00:38:02.900 Iranians taking it back to the streets. 1.00

00:38:05.280 I'm usually very skeptical 1.00

00:38:07.120 or I try not to predict these

00:38:08.920 types of things because they're very difficult to

00:38:10.920 predict. But looking at the economic

00:38:13.040 numbers, I

00:38:14.940 think we're very close to the end

00:38:16.920 of this regime. It's coming if

00:38:18.340 the pressure continues.

00:38:20.820 There's no way these guys can

00:38:22.700 continue to govern 1.00

00:38:24.640 a country and Iranians are ready

00:38:26.820 to take their government back.

00:38:28.980 Miod, thank you very much

00:38:32.040 I really appreciate your perspective

00:38:33.560 Thank you for giving this information

00:38:35.280 Miod Maleki

00:38:36.740 He is from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies

00:38:40.360 He's a senior fellow there

00:38:41.380 He has been one of the main architects

00:38:43.520 over the years

00:38:45.120 on all of the sanctions that we have done

00:38:47.120 mainly in Iraq

00:38:49.140 Alright, back in just a second

00:38:50.600 Let me tell you, sometimes you spend so long

00:38:53.140 straining under a really heavy burden

00:38:54.900 that you actually forget what good old-fashioned

00:38:56.720 sigh of relief feels like

00:38:58.980 Take that credit card that you've been dealing with, for example.

00:39:01.420 Every month, you pay that thing.

00:39:03.600 You're doing what you're supposed to, and yet it just feels like you're just treading water.

00:39:07.240 Most of that money is going to interest, and the actual balance barely moves.

00:39:10.600 And now, with gas prices the way they are, how much more are you going to have to put on your credit card?

00:39:15.500 This is so frustrating and so hard because it's two steps forward, three steps back, it seems.

00:39:20.580 Like you're not making any progress.

00:39:22.040 This is where American financing can change the equation.

00:39:25.440 If you are a homeowner, you may have equity that can be used to pay off the high interest debt

00:39:30.520 and consolidate those payments and actually start making real progress

00:39:34.140 so your money is working for you, not just disappearing into interest.

00:39:38.100 And that's when it starts to happen, that sigh of relief that you forgot about.

00:42:04.600 Yale professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld cut three.

00:42:07.960 Here's what he was saying this weekend about Trump.

00:42:09.720 Is Jeffrey Sonnenfeld from Yale telling us that Donald Trump is actually a rational actor?

00:42:16.380 He is rational.

00:42:17.740 It doesn't mean that he always makes the right choices.

00:42:20.200 It doesn't mean he's going to read, you know, win the geography contest at the University of Virginia or Yale or Harvard or Duke. 0.98

00:42:25.880 And there are areas where he's ignorant. 0.99

00:42:27.380 But boy, he is not dumb. I argue with people on another network who could like to talk to say that he's dumb. 1.00

00:42:33.220 He is dumb like a fox. He's very strategic and sometimes gets it wrong and it backfires. 1.00

00:42:39.180 Can we give the mailing address in New Haven so that they can just send all the angry letters to you?

00:42:44.660 And listen to that. He's not saying he's right all the time.

00:42:50.220 He's just saying he's not an idiot. And of course, the angry letters are going to come in. 0.99

00:42:53.500 But meanwhile, the left is on this big kick because of Viktor Orban.

00:42:58.700 Here's Hillary Clinton.

00:42:59.880 The end of Viktor Orban's autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary,

00:43:03.040 but for the people who value democracy around the world.

00:43:05.680 Barack Obama, the victory for opposition in Hungary yesterday.

00:43:08.540 The Polish election in 23 is a victory for democracy.

00:43:11.920 Akeem Jeffrey, far-right authoritarian Viktor Orban lost the election.

00:43:15.660 Trump sycophants and MAGA extremists in Congress are up next in November.

00:43:19.320 Winter is coming.

00:43:20.680 These guys have no idea what they're talking about.

00:43:22.400 That is not the story in Hungary. And I was paying attention to this because I thought, oh, this could be really bad. It's actually not bad. It's what you take from it. There is a lesson there that we as MAGA people and conservatives need to take from that. But it is not panic. The left didn't win in Hungary.

00:43:44.280 one of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that can it can make you really feel

00:43:51.300 disconnected without ever announcing itself you're still in the room you're still nodding along still

00:43:56.800 showing up but you're working a lot harder just to keep up and sometimes you're guessing more than

00:44:02.520 you'd like to admit and you're just hoping don't ask me anything because i don't know what we're

00:44:06.500 talking about anymore uh what stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial

00:44:11.740 it's the process it's the doctor appointments the multiple visits the adjustments the price tag that

00:44:17.500 makes you go how what so people wait and you shouldn't have to audion was built to remove

00:46:07.320 hello america welcome to the glenn beck program we are glad that you are here so very happy thank

00:46:16.060 you so much for listening i've got three things i want to cover this hour i want to talk to you

00:46:19.880 a little bit about victor orban and what happened in hungary it's not what the left is saying it is

00:46:24.480 and quite honestly it's not what uh people on the right are saying it is oh victor orban lost and

00:46:31.040 no no no there is a very clear reason but you have to understand hungarian politics which i

00:46:38.140 really don't but i have enough of a handle on it to be able to give some insight on this and a very

00:46:44.160 important lesson to learn for the republicans what happened to orban can happen here but not

00:46:53.080 because people were tired of the border fence or anything else it's really an important lesson i'll

00:46:57.980 get to that here also uh everybody's looking at the lemons you know they're looking at the

00:47:03.200 middle east they're like this is horrible this is going to be horrible lemon lemon lemon lemon

00:47:06.620 lemon i'd like to turn that into lemonade and show you what actually is happening uh the president

00:47:11.720 tweeted something last um last week something like the mother of all great resets or something like

00:47:17.900 that and it was disconnected from everything i'd like to connect that to what happened this weekend

00:47:23.540 and what is happening at the gas station as well that is a giant lemon and what is happening over

00:47:31.520 in europe in in ireland last week they started having protests the government went out of

00:47:37.760 control started arresting the protesters now they're going after the media it's not going

00:47:43.280 to be good in ireland we'll explain all of that and talk to ezra levant who is with us in about

00:47:49.060 30 minutes he was just in ireland over the weekend covering it so we'll get it from him first 60

00:47:54.800 seconds let me tell you about leaf filter there are two types of home homeowners the first type

00:47:59.500 that sees a problem and fixes it gutters clogged they're up there taking care of it something

00:48:03.380 starts to go wrong they handle it before it becomes a bigger issue those are the grown-ups

00:48:07.480 of the world and that's not me quite honestly then there's a second type me people watch problems

00:48:12.060 like they're a nature documentary and go yeah that is a real problem and your wife is like you

00:48:16.660 probably should fix that and you're like yeah i'm going to isn't nature truly majestic as it's

00:48:21.100 coming over your gutters i'm in the second category and you might be as well uh which is

00:48:27.040 why leaf filter makes so much sense because it solves the problem at the source it keeps leaves

00:48:31.960 and debris out while letting water flow and so you're not climbing up the ladder every few months

00:49:01.060 going to get to Hungary here in a second, but let me just wrap this up on Iran, a conversation that

00:49:04.660 we had in our number one of the podcast. If you missed it, give you some real numbers that are

00:49:09.920 associated with everything that is going on. Don't listen to people that aren't giving you

00:49:15.440 the actual fact. Just watch the Strait of Hormuz. That's all you have to do. Watch the numbers of

00:49:21.540 the Strait of Hormuz and then watch the traffic that is coming into the U.S. Gulf Coast because

00:49:27.160 everything is changing. I'm not trying to convince you this war is good or bad. You make your own

00:49:32.720 decision. I just want to give you the facts and I want to give you another way to look at this

00:49:37.820 situation because everyone's looking at it and like oh ran just another middle east long

00:49:42.520 extended war we're gonna be in there you know okay we've been in that chapter stuck in that

00:49:47.180 chapter for decades now bomb this sanction that ceasefire violation rinse and repeat i'm so sick 1.00

00:49:53.360 of it and so are you so let's let's just assume that donald trump is not an idiot and and assume 0.99

00:50:03.560 that he's looking at it differently. What if the real story isn't about winning in the Middle East, 0.98

00:50:09.080 but the real story is about no longer needing the Middle East? Because that changes everything.

00:50:18.580 Think about your own life here. Think about what happens when you are dependent on somebody that

00:50:22.780 you don't trust. Maybe that's a business partner that's unstable. Maybe it's a supplier that can

00:50:29.600 cut you off. Maybe it's just a job where your paycheck depends on somebody that doesn't share

00:50:34.980 your values. You don't feel secure. You feel trapped. It's always a problem, and it's always

00:50:41.100 in the back of your head. Well, that's the Middle East for us. Now, if you're smart,

00:50:47.680 you don't just manage the relationship. What do you do? You don't create a vacuum. You just don't

00:50:53.640 like, I quit. You don't do that. You're smart. You build a bridge. You build a way out. And I

00:51:00.980 believe that's what Donald Trump is doing here. Most people don't grasp the reality here. The

00:51:07.700 United States is no longer the country it was in the 1970s when it comes to energy. We're not

00:51:12.480 begging for oil from the Middle East anymore. We are producing more oil than any country in the

00:51:18.360 world. That's not theory. That's reality. We are exporting energy, not just crude, but refined

00:51:25.220 products, natural gas, the kind of fuel that keeps lights on and factories running all over the

00:51:30.560 world. Now layer something else on top of that. Look at the map of resources. If you look at the

00:51:38.400 map, the United States, Canada, specifically Alberta, which is thinking about breaking away

00:51:44.960 from canada and venezuela you strip away all of the politics and you just look at raw numbers

00:51:53.300 under the ground that cluster this hemisphere holds an absurd amount of the world's oil

00:52:00.760 enough to matter and enough to shift leverage if you're smart so now imagine a world where

00:52:11.080 the Western Hemisphere, becomes something different. We're not consumers of energy alone

00:52:17.180 anymore. We become the suppliers. We become the reliable supplier. No Strait of Hormuz. No

00:52:25.220 choke points controlled by regimes that openly talk about chaos as a strategy. No constant threat

00:52:32.360 that a tanker gets hit and suddenly your gas price jumps a dollar or two dollars overnight.

00:52:36.520 just flow predictable, stable, and close. Now bring that to your life.

00:52:46.120 Why does energy matter so much? Why does this matter to you, this war in Iran? Why are you so

00:52:53.380 concerned about it? You're concerned because you know it's your grocery bill. It's the cost to heat

00:53:01.140 your house. It's what it takes to build anything, move anything, grow anything. If energy is cheaper

00:53:09.580 and more stable, then everything starts to stabilize with it. What would happen to your

00:53:15.080 life if the United States becomes not just energy independent, but hear me, a primary supplier to

00:53:22.800 its allies and the rest of the world? Well, first of all, you start changing relationships. Europe

00:53:29.240 doesn't have to rely on europe now listen to this just this one alone they could i mean they could

00:53:35.500 pay the tax and get the oil out of the strait of hormuz okay expensive unstable and you're in bed

00:53:40.700 with dirtbag people that just want to light the world on fire but they don't have to pretend that

00:53:47.860 this is stable you now have a choice and if they choose they could buy it from us they would stop

00:53:54.700 bleaching off of us with NATO, because now we're just paying all that money over to NATO.

00:54:02.620 No, no, no. Well, you want our oil? You're going to have to pay for it. Now they become

00:54:09.080 a paying customer. Now take that a step further into a country that is not an ally of ours,

00:54:16.480 China. China's entire system, its manufacturing base, its growth model runs on imported energy

00:54:23.980 moving through the Strait of Hormuz.

00:54:26.880 They get cheap oil from Iran.

00:54:30.140 If they don't, everything costs them a fortune. 0.75

00:54:33.040 Their plan of collapsing the petrodollar is over.

00:54:36.720 And their advantage of cheap oil

00:54:38.480 that nobody else in the world can get

00:54:40.280 is a thing of the past. 0.67

00:54:41.380 So China's vulnerability quietly increases 0.97

00:54:44.360 without us having to fire a single shot. 0.94

00:54:48.720 And then you come to us, the United States.

00:54:50.860 we we don't we're not as vulnerable anymore we you know choose us or let him pay for oil and

00:54:59.980 and the security that it would take to get it go ahead but we become the driver so if energy

00:55:06.820 becomes more regional more hemisphere based our wars for oil in the middle east come to an end

00:55:12.500 you don't like forever wars this is a way to end them you don't have to announce the strategy

00:55:18.720 because Donald Trump doesn't do that.

00:55:21.060 He's just building it.

00:55:23.800 Now, let me talk about the dollar

00:55:25.280 because this is where people either overcomplicate things

00:55:28.360 or just oversimplify them.

00:55:30.280 The dollar is powerful

00:55:31.760 because the world trusts it,

00:55:35.700 uses it, and needs it.

00:55:37.660 It's called the petrodollar.

00:55:38.760 A lot of global trade, especially petrol, oil,

00:55:43.260 moves through dollars.

00:55:44.900 It has to.

00:55:45.620 If more of the world's stable energy starts flowing from places aligned with the United States in this hemisphere, it doesn't just magically save the dollar, it reinforces it.

00:55:57.280 It keeps the system centered where it already is.

00:56:00.240 One of my biggest concerns has been, what are you going to do about the dollar?

00:56:04.480 This is like being the bank in a small town.

00:56:07.260 You don't cover and control every transaction, but you control and cover enough of them, and they all run through that system, and it keeps circling back to you.

00:56:19.660 Now, it's not clean. It's not perfect.

00:56:22.780 There's always friction in reality. 0.75

00:56:25.960 Venezuela is not a plug-and-play partner.

00:56:28.300 That country needs rebuilding politically, economically, physically.

00:56:31.560 Alberta right now is in an insane country.

00:56:35.060 I don't know if you've been following what's happening in Canada or just over the last week.

00:56:38.540 It's insane what's going on there.

00:56:41.560 And infrastructure takes time.

00:56:43.560 Pipelines don't appear overnight.

00:56:45.080 Refineries aren't interchangeable.

00:56:46.600 But here's the big one people miss.

00:56:49.160 Oil money, even a lot of it, doesn't erase a $30-plus trillion debt.

00:56:54.720 But what does Donald Trump always say about our debt?

00:56:57.760 Grow the pie.

00:56:59.760 Grow the economy.

00:57:01.740 You're not going to get out whether it just cuts.

00:57:03.700 You've got to grow the economy.

00:57:04.740 That's AI and that's energy. 0.94

00:57:07.840 The Middle East, you can't just walk away from it. 0.92

00:57:11.160 You can't just leave it in a vacuum. 1.00

00:57:13.660 Even if we don't need their oil the way we used to, the world reacts to what happens there.

00:57:18.380 Prices move, market shakes, allies panic.

00:57:21.020 So you don't disappear.

00:57:22.300 You just stop being the only adult in the room that will do anything.

00:57:26.640 You'll notice how the Middle East, how Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE,

00:57:32.900 all of them are now saying, okay, we're prepared to take a little larger role here. We're going to

00:57:37.780 get involved here. Let the countries that depend on that region for oil take responsibility for

00:57:44.720 securing it. That's not our job anymore. That's a very different world than the world we've been

00:57:50.900 living in for the last half century or so. Now pull it all together. This is not a master plan

00:57:57.640 with perfect execution.

00:57:59.960 It's a direction.

00:58:01.980 Less dependency on unstable regions,

00:58:04.860 more production at home and nearby,

00:58:07.740 more leverage with allies,

00:58:10.740 make us the source of energy and AI

00:58:13.940 and everything else,

00:58:15.640 and handle adversaries

00:58:17.160 without direct confrontation.

00:58:19.100 It's a quieter kind of power.

00:58:21.820 In fact, it may explain,

00:58:23.920 nobody explained this tweet,

00:58:25.120 nobody really noticed this tweet.

00:58:26.520 came from donald trump last week he just tweeted this world's most powerful reset

00:58:33.880 president donald j trump the hell is he talking about this this and if you're wondering why any

00:58:44.260 of this all matters to you is because the world you're living in right now the instability the

00:58:49.620 inflation shocks the constant sense that everything is so fragile that all ties back to systems like

00:58:56.380 this. Energy, currency, trade. That's what this is all about. Those three things. And they sound

00:59:04.940 distant until they show up at your grocery store. So maybe the question isn't, is this a grand secret

00:59:12.380 strategy? Maybe the better question here is, are we finally, slowly, after decades of being stuck

00:59:19.240 in the same loop, starting to build a bridge out of it? Not clean, not guaranteed, but real enough

00:59:25.260 to see? And if that's true, then what looks like chaos on the surface might be something else

00:59:32.600 entirely. A shift. The kind of shift we've been begging for forever. And the kind of shift that

00:59:42.260 you only recognize when you stop staring at the headlines and you start looking at the map and

00:59:50.320 all of the other dots that have been placed on the map recently. All right. I want to reframe

00:59:57.560 Victor Orban's loss because what you're hearing in the news, what you're hearing from, 0.99

01:00:03.640 really, I think from everybody is so much garbage. And don't get me wrong. I got caught up in it on 0.99

01:00:10.020 Saturday, Friday or Saturday. I'm seeing the election coming. I'm seeing he's going to lose

01:00:13.820 and I'm like, wait, wait, wait, what does that mean? I started doing research. It's not what

01:00:17.260 everybody is saying it means, especially Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and everybody else.

01:00:21.400 And it's really important. It could be a giant warning to the right, but you have to understand

01:00:27.760 it. And then also we'll go to Ireland with Ezra Levant here in just a minute. First,

01:00:33.440 let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.com. You really have to hand it to mediocre

01:00:38.220 real estate agents. I mean, it takes a certain kind of confidence to decide you're great at

01:00:42.240 something, mostly because mom said you were. That's fine for a lot of people and a lot of

01:00:47.820 things in life, but it's not fine when you're dealing with one of the biggest financial

01:00:51.200 transactions you'll ever make. Because real estate is not about good intentions or positive

01:00:56.440 thinking or they're just jealous of you, sweetheart. No, it's about knowing what you're

01:01:00.000 doing. It's about pricing a home correctly in a market that is always moving, negotiating in a

01:01:05.540 way that actually protects your interest and understanding all of the little details that

01:01:10.380 can cost you time and money if you get them wrong. This is why I started realestateagentsitrust.com

01:01:15.720 because you shouldn't have to wonder whether the person helping you is actually good at what they

01:01:19.140 do. They have been vetted. They know your market. They know how to get results. Please check out

01:01:25.940 realestateagentsitrust.com. We're just going to show you an agent in your area that is, according

01:01:32.460 to what we are looking for, the people who really have integrity and know what they're doing,

01:01:36.400 that they're the best in your area.

01:01:38.800 The name says it all.

01:01:40.880 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:01:42.320 10 seconds, station ID.

01:01:54.880 All right, so I want to talk to you about Victor Orban

01:01:57.920 and what happened there.

01:01:59.820 The Hungarian voters went in and after 16 years said,

01:02:04.980 no more Orban.

01:02:06.400 But who did they replace him with?

01:02:08.220 This is what you're not going to really hear and understand.

01:02:11.640 They were not rejecting the border fence.

01:02:14.740 They're not suddenly in love with open borders and woke globalism.

01:02:18.900 The winner actually came from the party of Viktor Orban.

01:02:24.720 He's still saying no to EU migrant quotas.

01:02:28.280 The voters were rejecting something far more dangerous,

01:02:31.900 and that's fatigue with their own side.

01:02:34.700 16 years of the same team in charge and then cronyism friends and family getting rich while

01:02:41.700 everybody else feels the squeeze on groceries and health care and hope and so they were like

01:02:46.900 you know they were they were fans of victor for a long time and now they're like we could you drain

01:02:50.940 the swamp well i am draining the swamp really are you because it doesn't look like it to the people

01:02:55.360 so one of the guys were on his side he said i recognize the this and we can we can solve this

01:03:02.780 The pressure that you feel every single day, the economy that doesn't feel like it's working for you, when you see people who you voted for letting criminals get away with things, not actually protecting your country, doing things that are unexplainable unless they've got some other side game going on, that's what flipped Hungary.

01:03:25.120 And if we don't learn from it, it's exactly what will come for us in 2028 and maybe this next election.

01:03:35.400 So, if you forget the people that elected you didn't elect you to be their new king, they elected you to be their servant, you lose.

01:03:50.800 Orban's team delivered on the big cultural fights and they liked that and still like it 0.89

01:03:57.220 but after a decade and a half too many Hungarians felt like okay but what else are you doing you're 1.00

01:04:02.460 not taking care of some of the other things this is the same disease that is eating around

01:04:07.460 trust here in America we have corruption corruption that is so blatant and so weaponized

01:04:14.860 but what are we doing about it has anybody gone to jail this i believe is why donald trump put

01:04:23.120 jd vance in charge of corruption because i think that's going to be the 2028 thing

01:04:29.000 corruption putting people who have stolen from you in jail

01:04:33.100 our founding our founding fathers did not say hey put these ideas in and then coast

01:04:40.000 They said eternal vigilance, eternal vigilance.

01:04:44.580 That's responsibility, okay?

01:04:47.680 So what do you take from this?

01:04:51.160 Three hard lessons.

01:04:53.680 Power without constant renewal becomes corruption.

01:04:57.540 Even conservatives in power, yes, we know that.

01:05:00.640 The republic wasn't designed for permanent ruling parties left or right.

01:05:05.080 Two, voters will forgive almost anything

01:05:08.940 except the feeling that you stopped fighting for them

01:05:12.580 and started fighting for your own club or team.

01:05:16.300 Does that sound familiar, Republicans?

01:05:19.020 Economy, corruption, everyday pain.

01:05:21.500 Those are the battlefields where civilizations are actually lost or saved.

01:05:26.920 And the Republicans must learn that lesson.

01:05:29.440 lesson three the fight for western civilization isn't just against the left it is against

01:05:36.960 something i have been railing on against here for the last few maybe two months complacency

01:05:44.260 complacency on our own side if we become what we once opposed or we fail to serve the public

01:05:54.940 for not standing against those things we once opposed,

01:05:59.880 the republic dies from within.

01:06:03.680 That's the lesson.

01:06:05.420 So when you're seeing, you know, Hillary Clinton,

01:06:08.000 the end of Viktor Orban's autocratic regime is a victory,

01:06:10.980 not just for Hungary, but for the people who value democracy around the world.

01:06:14.940 No, that's not the truth.

01:06:17.000 That's not what happened here.

01:06:18.460 Barack Obama, the victory for opposition in Hungary yesterday,

01:06:21.260 like the Polish election in 23, is a victory for democracy.

01:06:23.980 Again, not what happened, not what happened.

01:06:29.360 They were against corruption, and they wanted somebody to do something about it.

01:06:34.960 That is what the Republicans need to concentrate on.

01:06:38.720 Put people in jail that belong in jail, and you will win. 1.00

01:06:43.880 That's the lesson from Hungary. 1.00

01:06:46.700 Learn it or live it.

01:06:48.940 all right uh the international fellowship of christians and jews would like to remind you

01:06:54.940 that in israel right now there is a man named phineas who as a child served um or lived in

01:07:01.160 germany and survived the holocaust and he didn't survive by accident he survived because there

01:07:06.240 were christians willing to risk everything to hide him and keep him alive he's now in his 80s

01:07:12.360 he can't get around much on his own he can't leave his home for medical care and sirens go

01:07:16.420 off missiles start falling he doesn't have the luxury or the time or the strength to find shelter

01:07:20.260 here we are again but here's the part that gets me christians are showing up for him

01:07:25.420 again through the international fellowship of christians and jews there are mobile clinics

01:07:30.600 bringing doctors and medicine right to his door making sure he's not forgotten in a moment where

01:07:34.820 it'd be very easy to forget about him when he says christians saved my life then and they're

01:07:40.680 saving my life again now, that's not a line. That's a life. And it's a life that we all have

01:07:47.460 a chance to stand up for. You have $45 right now to rush life-saving essentials to the vulnerable

01:07:53.140 under fire. 888-488-IFCJ. 888-488-IFCJ. Or online at ifcj.org. ifcj.org.

01:08:03.500 One reviewer of the American Story podcast says, I'm learning more about our founding than I ever

01:08:08.220 new in my 65 years. Torch Insiders can get 10 episodes now at glennbeck.com slash torch.

01:08:28.360 I'm going to give you a poll from the insiders. And this does not reflect,

01:08:32.680 I think the average American, but it shows if you are told the bigger picture, if you understand what I told you a few minutes ago about oil prices and what Donald Trump is actually doing in the Middle East, which would explain his tweet from last week that nobody talked about, the biggest reset in history.

01:08:53.140 um once you understand what he's doing you have more tolerance so we ask are temporary high gas

01:09:00.800 prices acceptable in the fight against iran most people knee-jerk no but if you understand what's

01:09:08.060 going on and see the bigger picture 95 of the insiders say yes i'll tolerate high gas prices

01:09:15.420 if it resets the world toward america no americans are already struggling we shouldn't be forced to

01:09:21.840 struggle more, 5%. I think that's wildly out of step with the average American, but that shows

01:09:29.280 once you have an understanding, you begin to say, I'll take the short-term hit. Now,

01:09:37.420 in Ireland, and it's beginning in France, they are having so many problems with the price of oil.

01:09:47.800 To fill up a truck now in Ireland is about $1,000.

01:09:51.060 If you're a semi, $1,000 to fill up a truck.

01:09:53.540 It's $200 to fill up an average car.

01:09:56.640 How are you going to do that?

01:09:57.620 Especially in Ireland where the economy has been decimated for so long.

01:10:02.480 The problem is not the price of oil per se.

01:10:04.920 The problem is just like California.

01:10:06.940 Half of what they're paying is going to taxes.

01:10:10.100 And so the people started standing up against this to say,

01:10:12.460 you got to give us tax relief here.

01:10:14.020 and the government started to say we're going to arrest these protesters and it's only gotten worse

01:10:19.440 this weekend in ireland was our good friend ezra levant he is from rebel news up in canada

01:10:26.580 um and ezra uh thank you for going and helping us understand exactly what's happening tell me

01:10:33.540 tell me the press is going to make these people into dangerous radicals and revolutionaries

01:10:40.300 who are the people that are protesting well i tell you first of all thanks for having me on

01:10:45.900 the show second of all i've become such an ireland fan boy i've been there nine times over the last

01:10:52.120 two years and i've it's a small country only five million people you can drive across the whole

01:10:56.660 island in less than a day so um they have a real communal connectedness it's almost like everyone

01:11:03.500 knows a cousin somewhere and the reason i mention that is it's almost as if the whole country has

01:11:09.360 collectively over their dining room table decided enough is enough and it's sort of incredible

01:11:16.680 because all across the country ordinary farmers and truckers it's almost like a spontaneous

01:11:22.700 movement because you know the they're not represented in parliament either by the

01:11:27.540 government or the official opposition but just grassroots ordinary irish farmers and truckers

01:11:33.140 have started blocking roads and blocking other key infrastructure, slowing the whole country down to

01:11:39.800 a crawl. But here's the incredible thing. The people who are inconvenienced by it,

01:11:44.460 they're supportive of it. Most Irish support, I'd almost call it a national strike. And we were on

01:11:51.600 the highways and it was extremely inconvenient. And we would stop and chat with the people blocking

01:11:56.900 the roads. None of them have ever been to a protest before in their lives. They're all wearing

01:12:01.820 their working clothes, like farmers dressed in their high-vis vests. It's the realest people

01:12:07.960 you've ever met. I asked every one of them two questions. The first is, why are you here?

01:12:13.400 And they all said, the fuel taxes are just too much. So this is a tax revolt, sort of like the

01:12:20.020 Tea Party. It's a little bit, I don't want to call it American style because the Irish are 1.00

01:12:25.900 rebellious in their own way. And the second question I asked each one, like these people 1.00

01:12:30.580 are blocking major highways i understand so i said to every one of them what are the cops saying to

01:12:37.100 you every single one said the cops are giving them the thumbs up not telling them to move now

01:12:43.520 there have been some incidents where the cops have gotten a little rough but in the main the

01:12:48.600 country is being shut down it's almost like a general strike so the the um the government is

01:12:58.440 not reacting well to this i mean first they started to go after them now they're starting

01:13:04.020 to go after the media and saying that the media is distorting this i mean what is happening to

01:13:09.920 freedom in ireland well if ireland is such a disconnect between the people and the government

01:13:17.020 let me give you three quick examples mass immigration i mentioned there's five million

01:13:22.680 people in ireland one million of them are foreign born and there's such mass immigration it's the

01:13:29.320 fastest mass immigration in the western world like it's astonishing and that's driven up the 0.97

01:13:36.020 price of housing and everything out of reach for the ordinary irish like most places mass immigration 0.90

01:13:42.840 is deeply unpopular but both the government and the opposition support it so what's an irishman

01:13:48.580 to do you can't really vote for any of the main parties so that's one factor here's another

01:13:54.060 they had a constitutional referendum i don't know if you've ever read the irish constitution that's

01:13:59.980 not something most people do but it's actually an amazing document there's a section on motherhood

01:14:05.760 can you believe it they talk about the value of mothers and protecting mothers and their right to

01:14:12.600 be to raise kids at home like it's an incredible i've never seen that in any world constitution

01:14:18.200 ever well for some weird reason the entire establishment thought let's get rid of that

01:14:25.100 so they had a referendum what do you think what do you think the people said it was an

01:14:29.820 overwhelming rebuke of the entire establishment of course they didn't want to get motherhood

01:14:35.520 out of the constitution because you know what that means that get gets rid of the definition

01:14:39.480 of a woman the definition of like it was crazy so that's strike two and then strike three i let

01:14:45.940 throw this one last thing at you glenn because it's the craziest part of it all so they elect

01:14:50.100 their president there it's more of a symbolic role but still it's like the the the mascot of

01:14:56.800 ireland let's say but with more gravity it's a closed loop though you have to get the support of

01:15:03.520 of incumbent members of parliament before you're allowed to run so there was this conservative

01:15:08.120 woman who wanted to run named maria seen she was not allowed on the ballot but more than 200

01:15:15.680 thousand irish either spoiled their ballot or wrote her name in so those are three crazy examples

01:15:23.620 of the entire irish establishment being against the people and i think this fuel tax was just

01:15:30.580 the straw that broke the camel's back and the whole country at the same time said enough

01:15:36.300 so i am really concerned you know i'm i'm going over with tommy robinson i'm going to be speaking

01:15:42.000 at his rally in london oh they expect this to be the largest rally ever in england um and uh i'm a

01:15:51.020 little nervous about it honestly because i don't know exactly who is also going to be speaking etc

01:15:56.240 etc and i know that they are going to blame anything on this group of people and so i just

01:16:02.980 want to be really really careful and i know tommy is being very very careful to make sure the right

01:16:08.980 message is sent because the freedom of speech over in england and great britain is to say it's

01:16:16.180 on the ropes is almost a comedic understatement um the the go ahead no no you're so right and i

01:16:26.680 think that the u.s administration has scolded the uk for its censorship and but ireland is even worse

01:16:35.580 than the uk by some measures so tommy's half irish but he really is um i think his home base

01:16:43.900 is the uk which is where you'll be speaking i didn't know you'll be speaking and that's amazing

01:16:47.580 ireland is still in the european union and that means a whole bunch of crazy things ranging from

01:16:54.780 their obligation to take in mass immigration and asylum seekers to um they're part of the european

01:17:03.160 wide censorship program they are ireland is at war with elon musk because ireland is part of the

01:17:09.480 european union they they get involved with europe wide censorship and elon musk is public enemy

01:17:16.680 number one and by the way as you know elon musk is now helping tommy by covering his legal fees

01:17:20.720 my point is that europe is i mean ireland and the uk are sort of a race to be who can be the worst

01:17:28.000 censor but the thing to remember is neither of them have the first amendment neither does canada

01:17:33.080 Neither does Australia and New Zealand with their censorship. Glenn, if there's only one message I would have your listeners remember, it's do not give up that First Amendment. It is the strategic freedom upon which all other freedoms are based. What use is an election if you don't have free speech? What use is freedom of association or freedom of assembly if you don't have the right to speak freely at those assemblies? Never give up your First Amendment. Never.

01:17:59.280 so are you seeing because i saw france there are uh truckers now that are doing exactly the same

01:18:08.200 thing that is ireland um two questions you've alluded to it i just want a clear yes or no

01:18:15.620 answer on this one this is tied now it's gasoline was the straw but this is now about all of this

01:18:24.020 stuff that trump has been fighting against all of this wef nonsense um and is are you seeing this

01:18:31.900 starting to spread because it looked like it was happening now in france as well this weekend

01:18:36.620 it hasn't spread on the scale of ireland ireland really is right in general strike

01:18:43.040 mode i asked every single person what's on your mind almost everyone said fuel that's the straw

01:18:49.160 that broke the camel's back but you cannot ignore those other things i mentioned of the political

01:18:53.320 class just being out of touch. Ireland, for some reason, is NGO central. There are 50,000 NGOs in

01:19:02.800 a country of 5 million. They're all government funded, and they work to squelch these grassroots

01:19:09.080 people. There is also a class issue here. I mean, I'm not a Marxist, but you can see the elite

01:19:15.160 Dublin-based globalists look down their nose at these farmers and truckers. It's sort of the

01:19:21.340 deplorables they they don't use the word the deplorables but you can sense they feel it

01:19:25.640 they would rather and kira starmer the british prime minister said this he said he would and

01:19:30.480 he's the same cut from the same cloth he said he would rather be at davos in the world forum

01:19:35.440 than in his british parliament and i think the irish leaders are the same way they want to swan

01:19:41.180 about with other eu leaders that's another reason to break up the eu is you need your politicians

01:19:47.120 to listen to their own people that's part of sovereignty don't run errands for foreign

01:19:52.720 organizations i'm excited about ireland because they have that rebellious spirit

01:19:57.580 just like americans do more than others anyhow sorry i'm going on because it's very exciting

01:20:02.600 well i mean you know the eu just last week or the week before just passed uh in their own parliament

01:20:08.280 um a a rejection of the open borders and started saying some of these people have to start now

01:20:15.440 being deported and get out i mean it was very trumpian in a european standard um and it it

01:20:21.960 looks like there is a beginning of something so is this how does this end ezra is this just a

01:20:28.380 quick fire that's put out or does this spread do you think well i sure hope it spreads ireland is

01:20:35.600 pretty small place just five million people um and so i don't know if it's going to spread in

01:20:40.820 france because there's the different language the different demographics so there's so many

01:20:45.020 differences but if ireland is able to stand up and shake off its globalist government i think that'll

01:20:53.020 at least be an inspiration to other countries super quick comment about the other eastern side

01:20:57.540 of europe as you know victor orban of hungary finally lost an election after 15 years and i

01:21:04.160 was sort of depressed about that because he held the line on immigration well the good news

01:21:07.660 A white pill moment for the kids would be that the man who won, he supports Orban's view on immigration.

01:21:17.260 So that wasn't.

01:21:18.120 He was part of the party.

01:21:19.760 That's right.

01:21:20.720 Yeah.

01:21:20.960 So I think that.

01:21:22.000 It was about corruption.

01:21:24.200 Exactly.

01:21:24.940 And, you know, 15 years, any government's going to get a little bit stale and a little bit too accustomed to power.

01:21:31.260 So I'm hopeful for Ireland.

01:21:33.480 They have a problem that a lot of the farmers told.

01:21:37.660 is media it is almost completely ireland there's only one small independent outlet called gripped

01:21:46.320 and they're wonderful by the way if you're not following them g-r-i-p-t dot i-e that's their

01:21:53.040 internet suffix there they're a great little band of uh citizen journalists but other than

01:21:58.200 but there's only like half a dozen in them other than gripped i don't i mean it's just their state

01:22:04.140 broadcaster is so dominant and it's such a propaganda tool for the government they need

01:22:09.280 independent journalists bad okay so what is the address again g-r-i-p-p-t g-r-i-p-t yeah g-r-i-p-t

01:22:21.240 dot i-e i know it's a little unusual that's the irish version of dot com so g-r-i-p-t dot i-e

01:22:30.240 i love those guys and by the way they they come from a christian point of view sometimes on issues

01:22:37.860 like pro-life and motherhood so they're i think they're right up your alley glenn i will look him

01:22:43.260 look him up um and i urge everybody to support ezra what he does he's rebelnews.com rebelnews.com

01:22:49.980 i want to have you back later this week because canada has like literally gone insane ezra you

01:22:55.300 know this but boy it is getting scary what's happening how fast it's happening we'll have

01:23:00.000 you on later this week if you have time i know you're going back to uh ireland rebelnews.com

01:23:04.540 rebelnews.com actual news from canada ezra levon thank you ezra we'll talk again let me tell you

01:23:10.640 about uh rapid radios you ever try to coordinate something with two or more people start simple

01:23:16.080 hey where are you i'm almost there then it's okay wait wait no the other way no pretty soon

01:23:21.160 you got three different conversations happening half of them are missed and everybody's got you

01:23:24.620 know they're living everything out of sync it's bad enough when the stakes are low but when

01:23:28.940 communication is important it's really bad rapid radios fixes that because now everybody is on the

01:23:35.520 same line you press a button and everybody hears the same thing same time no relaying messages no

01:23:40.640 waiting for callbacks no confusion about who knows what just clear instant communication for your

01:23:45.600 whole group you have family especially you could have this coast to coast family around you can

01:23:50.240 have conversations with your whole family around the country i mean it's amazing communication the

01:24:20.240 so the washington post has its uh its tail in a in a knot uh and they're probably right about

01:24:44.060 this one. Trump posted something that somebody sent to him and he saw it and thought it was funny

01:24:51.260 and it depicts him as Jesus healing some guy. Really not a good look. Please don't do that,

01:24:58.460 Mr. President. You have a very good sense of humor. You're very funny. I mean, I think the

01:25:03.600 guy trolls and I know he just loves anything that just, you know, upsets the apple cart. He loves to

01:25:10.720 do bad look on this one bad look on this one and and i will say um that's just shooting yourself

01:25:20.200 in the foot where iran might have done that for you and i i'll explain that you'll understand that

01:25:25.800 i i really want to explain um how the media is working today especially in regards to iran

01:25:33.320 it's really important you understand this next please trump is jesus no thank you mr trump

01:25:39.000 making the decision to shoot somebody is not somebody that you take like lightly i know you

01:25:44.880 don't um but it's also a decision that you don't get to take your time with because in real life

01:25:50.220 or death situations when somebody is threatening you or your family there's no pause button there's

01:25:54.260 no time out you know no moment where everybody was like can we have a little let's have a family

01:25:58.940 council on this one let's all get together you don't have time you just you react you have about

01:26:03.580 a half a second to respond to a violent threat and that's what makes it so difficult because

01:26:07.900 the consequences of lethal decisions are permanent that's why having another option matters the

01:27:32.480 hello america there is a uh retweet from the president uh the washington post is very upset

01:27:42.460 about this and you know i actually agree with i can't say that i uh i am upset about it in to some

01:27:49.420 degree in perspective um i'm upset about the retweet as well but since when has the washington

01:27:56.680 Post cared about the divinity of Jesus, the blasphemy against Jesus. Everybody has an angle

01:28:04.420 on everything, and that's the one thing I want you to know. We all are dealing with something new,

01:28:11.420 and it is a weapon much more powerful than a nuclear weapon. Why did we drop the nuke in

01:28:18.660 Hiroshima and Nagasaki? We did it because we knew it would end the war. It would break their 0.92

01:28:26.300 spirit and end the war there is a weapon that is much more powerful than the bombs we dropped

01:28:32.540 and it is new and we are dropping it i want to warn you about it in just a second first let me

01:28:39.780 tell you about rough greens have any idea what that bills cost these days i mean you walk in

01:28:57.000 It turns into a pattern, more visits, more issues, more money,

01:28:59.580 and you're always reacting to something that's already happened.

01:29:02.800 That's why I really like rough greens

01:29:04.220 because it's not about waiting for a problem and then dealing with it.

01:29:07.240 It's about supporting your dog's health.

01:29:09.020 So maybe you're not making many of those trips to the doctor

01:29:11.820 and the veterinarian as much as you do right now.

01:29:16.560 Your dog doesn't have the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and everything else,

01:29:19.960 the enzymes that support their overall health.

01:29:22.020 It's not in there.

01:29:23.040 So how are they getting it?

01:29:46.040 greens.com promo code is back all right so uh here's the washington post president donald

01:29:53.780 Trump's posting of a rendering that appeared to depict him as Jesus drew a rare criticism from

01:29:59.920 the religious right, prompting calls for him to take down the post and allegations of blasphemy.

01:30:05.680 Shortly after posting a screed against Pope Leo on Sunday night as he returned to Washington from

01:30:10.600 Florida, Trump shared an image that appeared to be AI generated in the style of a painting

01:30:14.540 depicting him in a long white robe. One hand was an orb glowing with light. Trump's other hand

01:30:19.900 rested on the forehead of a man

01:30:21.720 what resembled a hospital bed,

01:30:23.580 light beaming from the man's head

01:30:24.840 as Trump appeared to pray for his healing,

01:30:26.740 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:30:27.880 Okay, bad luck, Mr. President.

01:30:30.580 Don't do that.

01:30:31.340 Don't do that.

01:30:31.860 But I want to use this to explain

01:30:34.840 the most powerful weapon ever,

01:30:38.060 ever put in the hands of people,

01:30:41.780 and it's not a nuclear weapon.

01:30:44.600 To get there, let me start with

01:30:46.340 what happened over the weekend.

01:30:48.120 Over the weekend, 21 hours, Pakistan, the talks collapsed. 0.65

01:30:53.380 Iran's not giving up their nuclear program.

01:30:55.840 They won't give up their proxies or control of the Straits of Ramos.

01:30:59.640 I explained this all in hour one.

01:31:01.320 If you missed that, it's a really good explanation on what happened and why it's happening.

01:31:06.860 President Trump didn't blink.

01:31:08.340 He just ordered the U.S. Navy to blockade it, starting right now.

01:31:12.560 Mines were being cleared over the weekend.

01:31:14.240 tankers will be escorted, but the lanes that Iran says everybody has to use, he is blocking those,

01:31:22.500 okay? So what's coming here? Tomorrow, the next day, Navy warships are going to be

01:31:31.640 stopping ships that try to pay the illegal toll for Iran, if that happens. Oil tankers are

01:31:39.060 rerouting. They're slowing down. As I showed you in hour one, they are actually rerouting to the

01:31:44.420 United States. Prices at the gas pump are going to go up. They're already jumping. I mean, expect

01:31:49.680 another 50 cents or maybe even a dollar in the next week or so if it drags on. Groceries, diesel

01:31:56.100 trucks, all of that is going to go up. It's not good. It's not good. Heating oil, God bless you

01:32:01.400 if you're in the Northeast. How are you affording this? Your 401k, it's going to take a little bump

01:32:06.580 in the road probably you know this isn't somewhere else this is your grocery run your commute your

01:32:12.260 kids soccer fees and iran knows that iran knows that that's the bet they're making i said earlier

01:32:20.680 in the show what do they have that they think they can beat the united states because we're

01:32:26.100 wiping them out we're we're cleaning their clock on the field of battle what do they have it's not

01:32:32.700 missiles. It's what they see when they look at us through social media. Iran sees a divided America,

01:32:41.700 an exhausted America, 20 years of forever wars. They see an America that's ready to turn on

01:32:48.080 itself. The second price of gas goes up. They see social media turning every clip into a weapon,

01:32:55.440 and they're not wrong. They're not wrong. I told you this two weeks ago. Recent research from a

01:33:01.340 private intelligence firm tracking this exact conflict shows that 60% of the most viral post

01:33:07.980 on X about Iran in the first weeks of the fighting came from accounts based outside of the U.S.

01:33:16.220 Foreign accounts generated 155 million views compared to 93 million from real American viewers.

01:33:24.740 That's not organic outrage. That's Iran. That's Russia. That's China flooding the zone with deep 0.90

01:33:30.660 fakes doctored images of sunken ships scripted narratives designed to make us fight one another

01:33:37.400 the state department just sent a cable to every embassy push back against this coordinated

01:33:42.340 propaganda from tehran moscow and beijing okay this isn't a theory this is actually happening

01:33:49.480 right now and they don't care if you love trump or hate trump you love the blockade or you question

01:33:56.240 the blockade. They just need everybody at each other's throats. That's it. They need everybody

01:34:02.540 screaming that the other side is a traitor, that one side is weak and the other is anti-American. 0.89

01:34:09.060 Whatever it is, they don't care. They don't care. Anti-war voices calling pro-Israel voices 0.94

01:34:15.900 neocon warmongers, MAGA influencers turning on each other. That's why I don't talk about that war.

01:34:22.320 I'll talk about it in principles, but I'm not going to get involved calling out names and telling you who you should hate, because you shouldn't hate any of them, because this is all manufactured. 0.73

01:34:34.360 Podcast, viral clips on both extremes, pushing the exact same emotional buttons so we accuse each other instead of the regime in Tehran that is funding the terror, funding the dreams of chaos.

01:34:50.260 we used to call this the fog of war

01:34:53.980 but in the social media age

01:34:56.720 this is much more powerful than fog

01:34:59.000 and I believe more powerful than any nuclear weapon

01:35:02.580 I've been warning about this

01:35:04.940 this dynamic for years

01:35:07.000 the twelver ideology

01:35:08.940 lets them endure pain as a holy destiny

01:35:12.460 but their real strategy is a lot simpler

01:35:16.020 just wait

01:35:17.840 Just lob a few accusations out there.

01:35:23.200 Make it look like it's coming from each other here in America.

01:35:27.860 And just wait, it's a time bomb.

01:35:31.000 They watched our weariness in Iraq, our divisions after Afghanistan.

01:35:35.980 They think time and higher gas prices are going to do what their Navy could never do.

01:35:41.420 Sound familiar?

01:35:43.080 Should.

01:35:44.300 It should.

01:35:45.140 This is what happened with the Barbary pirates. 1.00

01:35:46.760 Barbary pirates, North African Muslim states

01:35:49.600 backed by the Ottoman Empire 0.67

01:35:51.020 seizing American ships, enslaving our sailors

01:35:53.900 demanding tribute

01:35:54.980 Jefferson said, I'm not paying anymore

01:35:57.220 because 20% of our budget was going 1.00

01:35:59.200 to the Muslim pirates 0.94

01:36:00.580 so we built a navy and the marines 1.00

01:36:03.660 we sent them over there

01:36:04.640 and there was propaganda too

01:36:06.440 some people wanted to keep paying

01:36:09.020 others screamed it would drag us into an endless war

01:36:11.100 I mean, all of this has happened before

01:36:12.640 we've been here before, gang

01:36:13.960 and foreign agents and domestic voices

01:36:16.660 tried to divide us then, but we held the line. We chose strength with principle. We won without

01:36:22.680 becoming an empire, and the republic survived. That's the history peg we need right now.

01:36:31.460 But we have to be aware. We have to look at social media differently. Differently. We have

01:36:41.740 to be able to spot things and understand who's winning in this. Like I said, they don't care

01:36:49.360 if you're pro or against. They need both sides screaming at each other. So I pulled a bunch of

01:36:56.540 stuff from X over the weekend. And in the last 24, 48 hours, since the blockade was announced

01:37:07.120 and the talks in Islamabad fell apart,

01:37:12.180 what was there?

01:37:14.400 What were the tweets?

01:37:16.040 What were the most popular tweets?

01:37:17.560 I found tweets that matched exactly

01:37:22.980 the pattern flagged in the recent reports.

01:37:25.840 That the IRGC operatives,

01:37:27.860 the state-affiliated accounts,

01:37:29.680 posing as Americans or neutral observers

01:37:32.440 while pushing content that is doing nothing

01:37:35.180 but exploiting our divisions.

01:37:38.040 Let me give you a few examples of these, okay?

01:37:40.520 This is just in, these are 12 hours,

01:37:44.560 tens of thousands of likes, okay?

01:37:47.040 The first one is from the, I can't remember,

01:37:51.440 one of the state officials, I think the prime minister

01:37:53.580 or the foreign minister of Iran.

01:37:55.680 As soon as those things fell apart

01:37:57.820 and he gets home to Iran, what does he tweet?

01:38:02.040 He tweets a picture of the price of gasoline around Washington, D.C.

01:38:08.980 Now, why would he care about the price of gasoline in Washington, D.C.?

01:38:11.860 Why would he tweet that?

01:38:13.220 Do you think his people care?

01:38:14.880 That was directed to you.

01:38:17.260 That was to you.

01:38:18.780 Okay?

01:38:19.680 This is a gun.

01:38:22.440 And we don't let our kids have guns, right?

01:38:26.600 We keep it in a safe, keep it locked up, keep guns out of the hands of children.

01:38:30.380 Why?

01:38:31.300 Because they think it's a toy.

01:38:33.560 They don't understand it is a lethal weapon.

01:38:38.080 So they can kill others or themselves because they think it's a toy.

01:38:42.820 Well, what do you think social media is?

01:38:46.280 It is a weapon.

01:38:50.180 It's a weapon.

01:38:52.280 And yet we let our kids play with it.

01:38:54.700 They think it's a toy.

01:38:55.960 It's not there to teach you.

01:38:57.440 It's not there to make your life easier or you to understand the world or make you stronger.

01:39:05.640 Social media exists to enrich the companies that provide social media.

01:39:12.800 Now, they can say they're going to help you and all kinds of stuff, whatever.

01:39:16.920 But I guarantee you, their main goal is to enrich themselves.

01:39:21.320 And they do everything they can.

01:39:23.460 This is all proven.

01:39:24.540 This is how we don't think of this.

01:39:27.440 This is not a conspiracy theory.

01:39:30.020 It's proven, some of it in court, some of it in front of Congress.

01:39:34.240 They've spent millions of dollars trying to figure out ways to enslave you,

01:39:40.100 to get you to never get off of their social media platform.

01:39:45.540 Meanwhile, what are they doing?

01:39:47.620 They're collecting information about you so they can get better at shaping you

01:39:53.000 because that's what it's about.

01:39:54.600 Social media doesn't make things easier.

01:39:56.640 huge global power shapes you your opinion and the world we all live in that's what's happening it

01:40:03.840 is the greatest propaganda tool of all time and now we're at war and now you're noticing it if

01:40:10.440 you're smart you're noticing it this is a 50 caliber machine gun aimed at your head and this 0.74

01:40:16.740 civilization every single day it's a nuclear weapon so let me give you here's another pro uh iran

01:40:23.640 account in just a couple of hours had 7,325 likes, 333,000 views. It's from an Iranian account

01:40:37.140 breaking. A standoff occurred between vessels of Iran's Revolutionary Guard and the U.S. Navy

01:40:42.880 near the Strait of Hormuz. Then the video of the alleged clash. So this one went mega viral by

01:40:50.560 implying imminent U.S. humiliation. Foreign accounts amplified this with the narrative of

01:40:57.580 we're losing, we're losing, we're losing to make Americans turn on Trump and Vance.

01:41:04.680 Next one, Iranian embassy, their account mocking the U.S. Navy. We don't hesitate even for a moment 0.69

01:41:12.260 in defending our country, the scene of the U.S. destroyer fleeing the Straits of Hormuz

01:41:16.960 with a video this is straight propaganda from an official embassy handle designed to humiliate and

01:41:23.520 divide trump is weak warmongers got us into this and it doesn't i mean it doesn't stop with the

01:41:29.640 official handle and it even goes into some people that you know we have watched for years and years

01:41:36.480 here's one uh trump says u.s will blockade straight of her muse after iran peace talks fail

01:41:42.980 Israel prepares troops for total war.

01:41:45.000 BlackRock is running the show

01:41:46.540 and the world economy is the real target.

01:41:48.580 This is COVID 2.0.

01:41:50.660 This is classic.

01:41:51.720 Our side is being played.

01:41:53.540 It's rage bait that pits MAGA against itself.

01:41:58.040 And it's not just the right that's doing that.

01:42:00.060 Left-leaning voices doing the same thing.

01:42:03.220 Here's another one from an influencer, a media type.

01:42:07.820 Trump is retaliating against Iran by double-closing the Straits of Hormuz.

01:42:13.940 That will hurt our economy very badly. 0.61

01:42:16.220 So ironic that it only increases Iran's leverage. 0.99

01:42:20.080 That is absolutely not true because I laid all of the numbers out for you.

01:42:26.760 But what does this do?

01:42:28.140 This fuels the Trumps.

01:42:29.900 It's Trump's fault.

01:42:31.240 Higher gas prices.

01:42:32.780 It's treason.

01:42:33.840 Anything to divide.

01:42:35.980 MAGA infighting example

01:42:39.000 that exploded

01:42:40.820 multiple accounts

01:42:44.260 Trump absolutely sinking Vance

01:42:46.260 by tying the Iran war around his neck

01:42:49.020 Vance has been leaking that he doesn't like the war

01:42:51.260 or MAGA

01:42:52.840 Obama nuke deal gave Iran millions

01:42:55.000 treason, Trump giving Iran

01:42:56.800 6 billion and control of the Ramos

01:42:58.620 none of those things happen but

01:43:00.180 what do you have? Traitor on our own team 0.93

01:43:03.320 these are not

01:43:05.320 random. This is exactly like the report from Clemson University that showed dozens of

01:43:13.280 accounts, hundreds of accounts of people tied to Russia, China, Iran, and people who are European

01:43:22.620 that are sowing this kind of discord. So let me go back to the Trump Jesus thing.

01:43:30.800 the washington post has never cared about somebody it's not like it's it's not like 0.97

01:43:36.980 jesus is mohammed you do whatever you want to jesus in this country and nobody cares it seems 0.89

01:43:42.420 since when did the washington post care about something that could be looked upon as blasphemy 0.96

01:43:50.540 for christians they only care because it's political now i don't know where that that

01:43:57.140 image came from, but he just retweeted it. But this is why you don't retweet things just even

01:44:02.920 if you think it's funny. You're like, oh, that's kind of funny. I'm sure that's what Donald Trump

01:44:06.920 did. Donald Trump doesn't think he's Jesus. He thinks it's funny and he likes things that are

01:44:13.760 controversial. He loves that. He's got a kind of a weird, dark sense of humor at times. He likes

01:44:20.220 that stuff um so who did that benefit if i were in iran that's exactly if i were dugan that's

01:44:28.860 exactly what i would want to put out put that out hope he grabs onto that or just put that out as a

01:44:34.040 mega supporter because then other supporters of donald trump will look at that who are christian

01:44:38.480 and go that's not right i can't support that and it divides divides divides divides that's why the

01:44:43.560 president should remove this because it's an easy tool of social media, which is today's

01:44:50.820 nuclear weapon. All right, more in just a second. Our sponsor this half hour is Mercury One. Most 0.75

01:44:59.300 charities want your attention. Mercury One wants a result. And those are not the same thing because

01:45:05.220 it's easy to show you the problem. It's easy to tell a story. It's easy to make you aware of

01:45:09.120 something that's gone wrong. The hard part is actually fixing it. It takes time. It takes

01:45:13.760 people. It takes money. It takes logistics. It takes a plan that exists before the crisis hit

01:45:18.800 and not when everybody else is scrambling. This is what Mercury One does. We build. We don't just

01:45:25.240 react. We prepare. So when something happens, whether it's a disaster or a community in need

01:45:29.800 or a situation where people have been left behind, they're not spending time trying to figure out how

01:45:34.340 to do it. We're already doing it. We get the trucks moving, the supplies distributed, the

01:45:39.080 people on the ground who know exactly what to do, where to go, when it's time to be there,

01:45:45.320 wherever it is. It's not about raising awareness. It's about taking actions and helping people when

01:45:50.440 they actually need it. Would you like to be part of a mission that actually does good?

01:46:25.200 Hey, Ricky, do you happen to have that original tweet from Donald Trump?

01:46:32.040 i don't have it can you just currently i'm currently on his true social he didn't really

01:46:39.200 post any copy it was just the image of him looking like jesus oh so okay so it's not he didn't repost

01:46:46.780 it he took the image and posted it i'd like to know where that image came from um would you

01:52:30.440 Don't bang, don't bang, don't bang.

01:53:00.440 Well, I would call them detectives, but they're just real dyed-in-the-wool reporters.

01:53:08.200 These journalists who have taken every stone and turned it over and said,

01:53:12.920 what is crawling underneath here? 0.98

01:53:14.540 And they found out, thank God, just in time that Eric Swalwell is a dirtbag. 0.80

01:53:20.720 And allegedly he has been a dirtbag with a lot of people for a very, very, very, very, very long time. 0.95

01:53:32.320 In fact, it's weird that more than 50 former staffers, more than 50 former staffers have claimed shocking sexual assault allegations against Eric Swalwell.

01:53:51.220 And now the media says that they are credible and serious.

01:53:54.980 50.

01:53:56.080 How did you keep that a secret?

01:53:58.860 Answer, it wasn't a secret.

01:54:00.460 Everybody knew.

01:54:02.320 Absolutely everybody knew.

01:54:03.920 The left knew, the press knew, but he was useful.

01:54:08.580 He was useful.

01:54:09.460 He could help them accomplish other goals.

01:54:11.260 And the minute he became not so useful, in fact, he was standing in the way,

01:54:16.760 as soon as he became number three in the California polls,

01:54:20.940 where number one and number two are two Republicans,

01:54:24.960 and then Eric Swalwell, they knew he can't win.

01:54:28.020 We got to get him out of there.

01:54:29.300 So immediately, oh, wait a minute, we should start listening and believing these women.

01:54:34.620 And now here is the absolute, I mean, look, the Lord does not make mistakes.

01:54:42.580 But I do believe once in a while, he might look, he might look at this guy at CNN and go, you know, maybe, I don't, maybe, listen to this.

01:54:59.300 yeah do you have it Sarah or or Jason you were just playing it Ryan Skelter here it is play it

01:55:07.500 please yes dramatic end of the weekend news in California and a real testament to the power of

01:55:12.580 investigative reporting Eric Swalwell ending his campaign for California governor just about 48

01:55:17.980 hours after CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle both reported on allegations of sexual misconduct

01:55:23.500 in his past oh my gosh wow in his past and it did happen recently no no it's been happening

01:55:30.660 forever this is the only reason this is the only reason this is a coordinated hit that's what this

01:55:37.940 is no sympathy for eric swalwell he should have been taken out a long time ago the truth was just

01:55:43.220 hidden because the truth in media has an agenda and if you are on the side of furthering that

01:55:51.340 agenda you're fine you can be a monster what was it what's the guy's name that's running 0.73

01:55:58.040 uh for the senate who has the ss tattoo on his chest you can be a monster and they'll excuse you 0.93

01:56:06.360 as long as you're furthering their agenda and they need you the minute they don't need you

01:56:12.100 you're toast and eric he just thinks he could stand up you know what was it friday he's like

01:56:18.140 I'm not going anywhere, I'll tell you that right now.

01:56:20.900 Really? Really?

01:56:23.380 They will destroy you.

01:56:25.420 They'll destroy your family. 0.99

01:56:27.080 They'll destroy everything.

01:56:28.180 And even what's so crazy about this, Eric, is this stuff is true about you.

01:56:35.600 It's most likely absolutely true about you.

01:56:39.440 Now, let's see it proven in a court of law.

01:56:41.860 But most likely, the stuff they say about other people is not true.

01:56:46.140 and they will use it to destroy it.

01:56:48.500 So they think that if they have stuff that is true,

01:56:51.120 they have 50 staffers, 50.

01:56:54.860 How did you, none of these women,

01:56:56.580 none of them wanted to come out and say anything? 1.00

01:56:59.760 Come on, 50 women. 1.00

01:57:02.600 No, here's what happened. 0.53

01:57:03.940 Somebody was like, hey, you know,

01:57:05.900 he just sexually assaulted me. 0.78

01:57:07.720 I know, stand in line. 0.96

01:57:09.340 Well, we should say something.

01:57:11.120 No, no, I want you to talk to so-and-so.

01:57:13.720 And then so-and-so from the DNC or whoever steps in and is like, look, look, look, just make this, we understand this is really bad, but, you know, we really need him right now.

01:57:25.940 You don't want to be hurting the party.

01:57:27.840 You don't want to hurt them.

01:57:28.600 We're up against a Nazi right now.

01:57:30.860 We're up against Donald Trump.

01:57:33.620 And, you know, if you don't want to play along, if you play along, there's all kinds of possibilities for you.

01:57:38.200 If you don't play along, I mean, nobody's going to believe you.

01:57:41.340 Who's going to believe you?

01:57:42.320 Because they're not coming out.

01:57:43.720 well, who's going to come out and say anything?

01:57:45.920 And that is exactly what has happened.

01:57:48.240 It's exactly what has happened.

01:57:49.400 I bet, I can't tell you for sure,

01:57:52.140 I would bet that's exactly what happened. 1.00

01:57:54.880 You can't keep 50 women quiet on this. 1.00

01:57:58.200 Not one wanted to come out. 0.98

01:58:01.180 Of course not. 1.00

01:58:01.920 They see what happens to women who stand up against 0.99

01:58:04.320 progressives, who are in favor. 0.75

01:58:08.580 You're toast. 1.00

01:58:09.460 You're a slut. 1.00

01:58:10.180 You're a whore. 1.00

01:58:10.680 You're whatever. 1.00

01:58:11.460 You're a liar. 1.00

01:58:12.280 Your life is destroyed. 1.00

01:58:13.720 but now now that he has to be destroyed oh they'll believe you we have to believe women

01:58:20.660 am i wrong on any of this ricky jason disagree with any of this i'll tell you glenn i i have

01:58:28.140 not heard journalisming done this hardcore since jake tapper broke that amazing book that it was

01:58:35.700 you know the rumor is joe biden wasn't fully cognitively there that i mean journalism is

01:58:41.160 on a roll this is crazy oh my gosh oh my gosh yeah yeah it's i mean this is journalism to then

01:58:49.640 it was funny that um on i think it was on it was on friday all of a sudden and all of this

01:58:56.340 really started coming out once swalwell was really digging his heels in and saying i'm not

01:59:01.020 going anywhere you know i'm still running all of a sudden you get a political report a politico

01:59:05.700 report talking about how multiple people were starting to back out of the Eric Swalwell's

01:59:10.780 campaign. Then, like clockwork, not too long after that, there was a message from the California

01:59:16.840 Teachers Association, which I'm sure are a very conservative group, like the most conservative

01:59:23.640 of all groups. The California Teachers Association said the allegations are incredibly disturbing and

01:59:30.240 unacceptable immediately suspending their report then like clockwork cnn also four women described

01:59:37.760 sexual misconduct by eric swanwell including a former staffer who says he raped her but none of

01:59:43.380 this was ever you know even on the radar of being reported it was all just kind of getting i guess

01:59:49.420 saved yeah let me ask you this one listen to the story one one of the women former staffer claimed

01:59:56.700 he raped her when she was drunk and left her bruised and bleeding during an alleged 2024

02:00:02.540 attack in New York. The Manhattan DA has now launched an investigation. Another woman alleged 0.68

02:00:09.240 she also awoke next to him in a hotel room after a drunken night out, adding he allegedly kissed

02:00:15.520 her and touched her without consent, touched her leg without consent. How do you get to a rape 1.00

02:00:23.160 accusation if 50 women have been saying sexual assault sexual inappropriate behavior 50 women

02:00:31.760 have said that that's because you said nothing and this guy starts to think i can get away with

02:00:38.320 anything once you once you say your politics are more important than our principles you train him 0.98

02:00:45.440 i am invincible don't you know who i am don't you know i could rape you and no one's going to listen 0.99

02:00:52.200 that's the monster that's the monster the left creates every single time that's the monster that 0.96

02:01:02.960 is created when you don't have equal justice under the law and i'd be saying this if it was a if it

02:01:08.520 was a republican if it was a republican that was doing this i'd be saying exactly the same thing

02:01:13.400 you must tell people immediately and prosecute these people because you will create monsters

02:01:23.840 it's the only reason you can't have 50 allegations and then expect him not to rape

02:01:31.720 of course he thinks he can get away with anything because nobody's going to say anything

02:01:36.800 this machine will keep you quiet what's amazing is he thought he could keep going up the ladder

02:01:43.180 And then when they said, hey, you're actually hurting us in California, that he thought he could betray them like he didn't know.

02:01:51.200 That's how arrogant and how monstrous his ego has gotten.

02:01:54.540 He's so out of control that he thought it was him and not the system that was keeping him propped up. 0.99

02:02:02.340 It's nuts.

02:02:06.040 Suspiciously quiet, Ricky.

02:02:08.900 Well, you know, I'm just over here by myself in Florida.

02:02:11.560 i was just gonna say he he sounds like a monster but um i'm a little bit worried about the next gal

02:02:17.560 who's waiting in the wings in the democrat primary in california katie porter she has

02:02:23.080 allegedly poured boiling hot water on her husband's head and we've seen her yell at her staffers 0.97

02:02:30.520 like what kind of people are is this party producing our next best hope in california

02:02:36.360 is Tom Steyer, who's destroyed

02:02:39.300 that state with all the environmental

02:02:41.160 regulations.

02:02:43.860 We need to have

02:02:45.400 Steve Hilton. He is

02:02:46.960 a leading frontrunner in the primary

02:02:49.400 for the GOP for California governor.

02:02:52.020 We need to have him on.

02:02:53.280 Is there a chance?

02:02:55.240 I don't know.

02:02:58.260 They'll accept anything.

02:03:00.280 With Swalwell dropping out,

02:03:01.620 this actually gives Democrats

02:03:03.800 a better chance.

02:03:05.160 I don't know how much time we have before the break,

02:03:06.820 but there is breaking news that President Trump has deleted the Jesus post.

02:03:12.480 So this is probably because you texted him.

02:03:14.640 I'm sure that's why that happened.

02:03:17.160 Probably what it was.

02:03:19.880 That's good.

02:05:23.900 what Torch Insider has figured out in early January.

02:05:27.580 The American story in American history

02:05:29.260 doesn't have to be boring as snot.

02:05:31.160 Um, we put out the American story. It is a, um, a dramatic storytelling narrated by me audio of America's story. And it starts at Columbus and takes us all the way, all the way through. It is great. You've never really heard anything like it. Uh, we released it. Episode one is up at, uh, wherever you get your, your, uh, podcast episode one.

02:05:56.040 I'm just looking at what people commented

02:05:58.640 Glenn thanks so much I love history

02:06:00.580 I think you're a great storyteller

02:06:01.860 listened to you for a very long time

02:06:03.320 you make history really come alive

02:06:05.520 I've always loved history

02:06:07.900 but if I had been taught this way

02:06:10.000 who knows where I would have ended up

02:06:11.600 I'm so sorry I'm now learning this

02:06:14.020 keep up the fantastic work

02:06:15.540 Glenn I love this podcast

02:06:17.980 I listen on my phone and through my TV

02:06:21.260 but listening to it in my car is the best

02:06:23.880 because it's in an enclosed space

02:06:25.520 and you get the full effect of the audio

02:06:27.280 and you clearly hear the different sounds

02:06:29.420 from the different speakers.

02:06:30.840 I'm telling you, I don't know exactly

02:06:32.720 what kind of surround it's in,

02:06:34.600 but you can hear the bullets whiz by your head,

02:06:37.800 it feels like.

02:06:38.440 It's really an amazing thing.
