=== Forged Titles and Stolen Homes (15:02) ===

[00:00:00]  There is one thing most people don't even realize can be stolen, and that is the title of your home.
[00:00:05]  Criminals can forge documents.
[00:00:08]  They can file them online.
[00:00:09]  They can make it look like your property is theirs.
[00:00:12]  And from there, they can try to take out loans against it.
[00:00:15]  And you may not know anything about it until the collection agencies and the bank notices start showing up and then the sheriff.
[00:00:21]  By then, you're the one trying to prove you didn't do something that was wrong.
[00:00:25]  You didn't even know it was happening.
[00:00:27]  Home Title Lock monitors your home's title and alerts you to suspicious activity so you can act before a bad situation turns into a financial nightmare.
[00:00:36]  Because your home isn't just an asset, it's the foundation.
[00:00:39]  Use the promo code Glenn at home titlelock.com.
[00:00:42]  You'll get a free title history report and a free trial of their million-dollar triple lock protection.
[00:00:47]  24-7 monitoring of your title records, urgent alerts.

[00:00:55]  Use the promo code Glenn.
[00:00:57]  Hello, America.
[00:00:58]  You know, we've been fighting every single day.
[00:01:00]  We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
[00:01:06]  We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
[00:01:11]  But to keep this fight going, we need you.
[00:01:13]  Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
[00:01:17]  Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
[00:01:26]  This isn't a podcast.
[00:01:27]  This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
[00:01:31]  So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
[00:01:36]  Rate, review, share.
[00:01:37]  Together, we'll make a difference.
[00:01:39]  And thanks for standing with us.
[00:01:41]  Now let's get to work.
[00:02:12]  is This is the Glenn Beck program.
[00:02:34]  Glenn Beck is on.
[00:02:37]  My gosh, there is so much happening today.
[00:02:42]  I don't even know where to begin.
[00:02:44]  You know, there was that foreign service officer that went berserk, started shooting people.
[00:02:53]  Sorry, not shooting people, stabbing people.
[00:02:56]  We're going to give you the story on that.
[00:02:58]  We've kind of self-embargoed this story.
[00:03:00]  We have some insider information that we want to share with you.
[00:03:03]  We just want one more check to verify that it is real, but it will explain an awful lot on what is going on and raise even more questions.
[00:03:13]  Also, we have more on what is happening overnight, what the allies now are doing.
[00:03:24]  This is expanding.
[00:03:27]  Which is both good and bad, but we just have to take it one day at a time.
[00:03:34]  I also, if I have time, I would really like to debunk this nonsense that, you know, that Donald Trump is being led by the nose by Benjamin Netanyahu.
[00:03:45]  This is one of the most ridiculous.
[00:03:47]  Tell me.
[00:03:48]  Tell me who can lead Donald Trump by a ring in his nose.
[00:03:53]  Give me the one person on the planet that you think that man answers to.
[00:03:59]  For the love of Pete, can we stop this?
[00:04:03]  See, Christy Noam is up on Capitol Hill talking about Coast Guard, what they are facing, also what DHS is facing.
[00:04:11]  It's really important that the Democrats release the funding so DHS can do their job.
[00:04:18]  Also, the amazing video for the F-15 pilots over Kuwait, which I can't even imagine coming down and seeing people running towards me.
[00:04:26]  If you're an American in the Middle East, you have no idea what you're facing.
[00:04:31]  It turned out to be, you know, good.
[00:04:35]  Also, we had a cyber attack on us yesterday.
[00:04:39]  I want to get into that just a little bit because there is something going on.
[00:04:43]  We're having to hire a security firm now, a forensic cybersecurity firm, because we can only track it to the last jump.
[00:04:55]  And that last jump is telling us exactly where this is coming from.
[00:04:59]  But we have had now two serious cyber attacks on Torch and Glenbeck.com, and they have both coincided with big days about Iran.
[00:05:10]  So we have a feeling we know what it's about.
[00:05:15]  We just don't know who is coordinating this attack on our business.
[00:05:18]  And we'll give you more on that coming up.
[00:05:20]  But thank you if you are a supporter of Glenbeck.com and Torch.
[00:05:24]  Thank you for putting up with a cyber attack a couple of weeks ago and the cyber attack that we had yesterday.
[00:05:29]  Somebody is trying to destroy us, and it seems to be related to, I guess, my support for freedom in Iran, I guess, maybe.
[00:05:43]  We'll talk about that and so much more in 60 seconds.
[00:05:46]  First, let me tell you about rapid radios.
[00:05:47]  If you've ever tried to put together a big complex project with a lot of people involved, you know, keeping everybody in communication with the other is, I mean, it's like herding cats.
[00:05:57]  You got people in different locations, different teams handling different pieces, delivering.
[00:06:02]  You know, deliveries are arriving.
[00:06:04]  You know, they're shifting.
[00:06:05]  Somebody's always like, who has eyes on that?
[00:06:07]  Did anybody call so-and-so?
[00:06:09]  It can get really frustrating, and mistakes will happen.
[00:06:11]  Texts get missed.
[00:06:12]  Calls go to voicemail.
[00:06:13]  Group threads turn into confusion.
[00:06:15]  Every little miscommunication costs time.
[00:06:18]  Rapid radios cut through all of that.
[00:06:21]  No apps, no complex setup, no programming.
[00:06:23]  You take them out of the box, you turn them on, and you're all connected.
[00:06:27]  Instant push-to-talk communication with nationwide coverage that lets your team coordinate in real time.
[00:06:32]  So whether you're running a job site, a large event, you know, a property, a family trip, clear communication is not a luxury.
[00:06:41]  It is the difference between chaos and control.
[00:06:44]  So I want you to go to rapidradios.com, see the new RAD one.
[00:06:48]  It's officially live.
[00:06:49]  RapidRadios.com.
[00:06:51]  Get radio that's built for real life.
[00:06:53]  Communication now been redefined.
[00:06:56]  RapidRadios.com.
[00:06:59]  Let me bring Jason in.
[00:07:00]  Jason, the war is expanding.
[00:07:03]  England and France have, or they're now sending, France, I think, is sending an aircraft carrier.
[00:07:10]  Who knew they had one?
[00:07:13]  England is now getting involved as well.
[00:07:17]  Why is this expanding?
[00:07:20]  It's expanding primarily, I think, because you apparently were exactly correct pretty much in everything.
[00:07:27]  And this is from Politico, actually.
[00:07:29]  Not in so many words.
[00:07:30]  I don't think they said Glenn Beck, but basically they did.
[00:07:34]  Right.
[00:07:34]  Okay.
[00:07:36]  But they're expanding also, not just because I guess I'm correct.
[00:07:40]  We're going to get to that politico story here in a second, but also because they're seeing the bigger picture, or do you think it's because of what is happening on the ground and people getting hit?
[00:07:56]  Why is England and France?
[00:07:57]  Why are they involved?
[00:07:58]  Is it because they're seeing the bigger picture?
[00:08:00]  So I think that's where it's leading to.
[00:08:03]  The bigger picture is definitely where it's leading to eventually.
[00:08:06]  And it behooves Iran to make this a larger conflict because that makes it end quicker in their view.
[00:08:13]  To do that, they're striking at multiple different bases that they say enabled us and or Israel to attack them.
[00:08:22]  So they're looking at places where we might have taken off or sent weapons.
[00:08:25]  So they're looking at specifically for the Brits.
[00:08:27]  They targeted the Royal Air Force Base in Cyprus.
[00:08:31]  That is now why the Brits are sending over Destroyer.
[00:08:34]  A lot of people are criticizing the Brits for doing this way too late, but it kind of shows you maybe NATO and maybe our support.
[00:08:43]  Yeah, maybe it's useless.
[00:08:46]  Look, here's the thing about Europe, and you need to understand this.
[00:08:48]  If you're going to take on Islam, you are not going.
[00:08:52]  NATO is not going to be an ally.
[00:08:54]  They're not.
[00:08:55]  They have to placate because they are overrun with Islamists, not just Muslims, Islamists.
[00:09:05]  And they know this means trouble on the streets.
[00:09:08]  And so they're not going to be able to take clear stance.
[00:09:12]  They're just not.
[00:09:13]  It's why NATO, we got to get out of NATO.
[00:09:15]  We just have to get out of NATO.
[00:09:18]  But stay with me.
[00:09:19]  By the way, if you're a new listener or haven't joined us for a while, thank you for checking in with us.
[00:09:24]  Jason Buttrill is my chief researcher, has been chief researcher for over a decade, I think now.
[00:09:31]  And he does something called the Torch Insider Show, which happens during this show.
[00:09:37]  When I go into break and reset for the radio show, he's giving more information that I just don't have time to fit into the show.
[00:09:44]  So you get a really full look of the day's news.
[00:09:48]  But stay with me here, Jason, because I want to go through this Politico article and maybe you can help go through some of this.
[00:09:54]  I'm just going to read the article.
[00:09:56]  President Donald Trump's latest attack on Iran takes a big economic bite out of one of America's chief rivals, China.
[00:10:04]  I told you yesterday that if you didn't understand the big picture, you're not going to.
[00:10:11]  Everybody was arguing about whether we should go into Iran or not and what this means for Iran, blah, And I said, the Iranian part of it is very important.
[00:10:20]  But if you don't understand Krink, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, that Axis power is called Krink.
[00:10:30]  If you don't understand that and what this is going to do to Krink and that Axis power, you don't understand the big vision of what Donald Trump is doing.
[00:10:40]  Now, listen to what Politico said now.
[00:10:43]  Over the span of two months, Trump administration has removed the leaders of two countries that both shared China as one of their most important crude oil customers.
[00:10:51]  Although China buys oil from all nations across the Middle East, Iran was second only to Saudi Arabia as its supplier last year.
[00:11:01]  Almost all of Iran's exported oil and more than half of Venezuela's went to China last year, which remained one of the only purchasers of goods from the two heavily sanctioned nation.
[00:11:14]  The two countries combined represent, listen to this, 17% of China's overall oil purchases, a meaningful share for the world's largest importer of crude oil.
[00:11:27]  By the way, they're very green.
[00:11:31]  Did you hear what the news is?
[00:11:34]  Between Venezuela, which I told you when we went into Venezuela, this is all about Russia and China.
[00:11:41]  It's not about Venezuela.
[00:11:43]  It's about taking this hemisphere and kicking Russia and China out.
[00:11:48]  I told you on that day, Cuba is going to fall.
[00:11:52]  They're not going to get the Russian support.
[00:11:55]  It's going to fall because he's taking this hemisphere back.
[00:11:58]  Donald Trump is.
[00:12:00]  And this is going to hurt them when it comes to oil.
[00:12:05]  Then I told you last week, did you see what happened with India?
[00:12:09]  India was going after the shadow fleet.
[00:12:13]  What is the shadow fleet?
[00:12:14]  Those are all of the oil tankers that are out, that are not supposed to be out, that are taking sanctioned oil and shipping it over to China.
[00:12:28]  Well, India is now going after the shadow fleet.
[00:12:34]  Yes, as of last week, he has taken the eye out of BRICS.
[00:12:39]  BRICS was Brazil, Russia, India, Chile.
[00:12:45]  No, what was the other way?
[00:12:46]  China and I don't know.
[00:12:48]  Anyway, but they were the ones that were coming up and saying we're going to have a secondary monetary system.
[00:12:55]  We're going to have a new BRICS dollar that will compete against the U.S. dollar.
[00:13:01]  Well, India was the one who came up with that.
[00:13:03]  India last week has switched sides and they're coming over with us.
[00:13:09]  So India is going after the shadow fleet.
[00:13:13]  We shut down Venezuela and now we're shutting down Iran and their oil.
[00:13:22]  That's 17%.
[00:13:24]  What is the one thing that we cannot happen, cannot have happen here in the United States, especially if you want to be strong with AI?
[00:13:38]  What is it?
[00:13:40]  You can't lose energy.
[00:13:43]  You have to have the energy to be able to fuel the processing centers for AI.
[00:13:49]  They're losing 17% of all of their oil.
[00:13:54]  That's remarkably bad for China.
[00:13:57]  Now, so you know, that is going to make China more aggressive.
[00:14:02]  It's also going to make Russia more aggressive, possibly North Korea more aggressive.
[00:14:08]  However, they are not doing anything to help Iran right now.
[00:14:14]  Why?
[00:14:15]  Because Iran is saying we're going to shut down the Straits of Hormuz.
[00:14:19]  You can't shut down the Straits of Hormuz.
[00:14:21]  If you're China, you cannot afford that because you just lost 17% of your oil.
[00:14:27]  If you shut down the Straits of Hormuz, you lose all the oil from Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Oman.
[00:14:34]  You lose all of it.
[00:14:36]  They cannot afford to have that happen.
[00:14:40]  That's why China is not going to get involved as we take out the Iranian Navy because we want it to be open as well.
[00:14:50]  So China, strangely, China is on the same side of the United States when it comes to Russia, I'm sorry, when it comes to Iran closing down the Straits of Hormuz.

=== American Financing Strategy (10:01) ===

[00:15:02]  This is a remarkable, remarkable thing.
[00:15:07]  Brent crude oil began trading, opening on Sunday, $81 a barrel.
[00:15:13]  That's a 12% jump from last week's closing price.
[00:15:19]  OPEC says they're going to boost oil production starting in April by 206,000 barrels a day.
[00:15:26]  I wrote down, yeah.
[00:15:29]  So, you know, they're going to increase 2,006 barrels a day.
[00:15:34]  5 billion barrels, 5 billion barrels a day are coming from Iraq, UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia to China through the Straits of Hormuz.
[00:15:50]  5 million barrels a day.
[00:15:55]  So when they say we're going to increase by 206,000 barrels a day, that's nothing.
[00:16:03]  That is absolutely nothing.
[00:16:05]  Jason, can you take me through some of these charts?
[00:16:07]  I can barely see them.
[00:16:08]  My screen is way too small here.
[00:16:10]  Yeah, sure.
[00:16:11]  Producer Matt, you want to throw this up here really quick.
[00:16:13]  Or they might have a better version of that.
[00:16:15]  Oh, yeah, that's probably the better one over at the regular stream.
[00:16:20]  You've got 1.2 million coming from Iraq, 395,000 from Kuwait, 1.5 million from Saudi Arabia.
[00:16:27]  It goes on, Qatar, UAE, Oman.
[00:16:30]  All of this effectively stops.
[00:16:32]  And as you pointed out, the IRGC pretty much effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, or in their eyes, they said any tankers going through will be fired upon.
[00:16:41]  We're going to do our best to stop that.
[00:16:43]  And it hasn't stopped all traffic coming out of the Straits of Hormuz.
[00:16:46]  But this has always been Iran's big ace in the hole.
[00:16:49]  And you can see what they're doing specifically with China, as you're pointing out, because the strategy is to shut the straits down.
[00:16:57]  And whatever conflict is happening, that will get enough international support to say, guys, enough, stop it.
[00:17:03]  There is too much pain on the rest of the world.
[00:17:05]  You need to stop whatever conflict you're in.
[00:17:08]  That's Iran's strategy here.
[00:17:09]  Specifically, it's a big signal to China to get involved.
[00:17:13]  They want China involved.
[00:17:14]  They want diplomatic, economic, I guess they would love military as well, but that's not going to happen.
[00:17:21]  But they're looking for some kind of intervention to happen from China.
[00:17:25]  But what is there, I mean, how could they possibly say we're going to mine?
[00:17:29]  Because that's what they're talking about.
[00:17:30]  The Strait of Hormuz is very, very narrow.
[00:17:33]  It's like this little elbow.
[00:17:35]  And so it's very, very narrow.
[00:17:37]  And they want to mine that whole strait right there.
[00:17:44]  How is China going to be supportive of something like that?
[00:17:48]  They cannot have the straits mined.
[00:17:50]  We are saying, let's take out all of the Iranian Navy so they can't mine the straits of Hormuz because we agree with China that has got to remain open.
[00:18:03]  I'll ask for your answer here in 60 seconds.
[00:18:05]  First, let me take a quick break, tell you about Rush PACS.
[00:18:07]  Here's something that's kind of scary.
[00:18:09]  The most expensive tax mistake is the one you didn't know you made.
[00:18:12]  You know, it's the line item that you caught and fixed.
[00:18:15]  It's the form that you filed incorrectly three years ago.
[00:18:19]  You didn't even realize there was a problem until the letter starts showing up.
[00:18:22]  Penalties, interest, legal language that feels like it was written in another language.
[00:18:26]  And suddenly you're not just dealing with a small error.
[00:18:28]  You're dealing with a federal agency has the power to levy accounts, garnish wages, take everything over.
[00:18:34]  This is where a rush tax resolution steps in.
[00:18:38]  They know how to read the notices.
[00:18:39]  They know how to file the right paperwork.
[00:18:41]  They know how to pause collections, how to negotiate realistic arrangements so you can move forward.
[00:18:46]  I just got an email in from one of our listeners, owns a small company.
[00:18:51]  They had to make a choice.
[00:18:52]  I'm either going to keep the doors open or I'm going to pay my taxes.
[00:18:55]  They didn't pay the taxes and they kept the doors open.
[00:18:58]  Now the IRS stepped in and the guy doesn't know what to do.
[00:19:01]  I mean, it's what so many businesses have faced.
[00:19:03]  He doesn't know what to do.
[00:19:04]  He called tax resolution Rush Tax Resolution.
[00:19:09]  They took care of it.
[00:19:10]  They negotiated everything.
[00:19:11]  Don't delay on any of these things.
[00:19:13]  Please, just hire the experts.
[00:19:15]  Rush TaxResolution.com.
[00:19:17]  You can call them now at rushtaxresolution.com or 877-554.
[00:19:23]  Rush, 877-554-7874.
[00:19:27]  More on Iran and China in just a second.
[00:19:29]  Standby.
[00:19:42]  We have so many things that we got our fingers in today.
[00:19:46]  We're going to bring you up to speed on.
[00:19:51]  Standby.
[00:19:52]  There's just a lot of breaking stuff happening.
[00:19:54]  All right.
[00:19:54]  Let me go back to Jason.
[00:19:56]  Jason, how is China, why would China support Iran in this?
[00:20:03]  What is Iran's thinking?
[00:20:06]  Because they want to mine the strait.
[00:20:08]  Yeah, so that's going to be it.
[00:20:12]  I see the Iranian regime as desperate at this point.
[00:20:15]  Any kind of intervention they're looking for, that's what they would be hoping for, whether that's diplomatic through the UN, that's going to go nowhere.
[00:20:22]  Through economic, that probably will go nowhere.
[00:20:26]  China doesn't have too many options here, and they've been very, very reluctant to do anything beside just providing radars and service air defense.
[00:20:34]  That's pretty much as far as they have anything.
[00:20:37]  That wasn't helpful.
[00:20:38]  Yeah, that was not too helpful.
[00:20:40]  That was not helpful for Venezuela or Iran.
[00:20:43]  Not helpful.
[00:20:44]  Thank you, China.
[00:20:45]  Yeah, right.
[00:20:46]  So I get their strategy because that's been their strategy probably since 1979.
[00:20:52]  That's what they're going to hope for, but that's not what they're going to get from China.
[00:20:56]  I don't see them getting too far into it.
[00:20:57]  But you can see China's eventual, you can see everything that they've been setting up for multiple decades all coming to a close here.
[00:21:04]  You've already talked about Venezuela, multiple other areas like Panama, which directly influences China or hurts China.
[00:21:13]  But now Iran, which was a major corridor for the Belt and Road Initiative, this was a big, big deal economically for their plans to eventually overturn the dollar as the global reserve currency.
[00:21:25]  Everything hinges on all these different flashpoints we're seeing the Trump administration look at.
[00:21:30]  It is a brilliant strategic move, all happening at once.
[00:21:35]  And as you pointed out, much larger, much larger.
[00:21:39]  I have to tell you, Jason, I said this yesterday.
[00:21:41]  I spent the weekend looking at all of this and seeing the larger picture that I think he's playing for.
[00:21:46]  And I thought I could never be president of the United States because I wouldn't have the balls to do it.
[00:21:50]  I mean, this is you, you've got to be humble enough to listen and yet confident enough to say, yeah, I'm pulling the trigger.
[00:22:04]  I mean, this is the biggest move I think, you know, everybody says when Ronald Reagan said, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
[00:22:12]  And then he sat in the negotiations and said with Gorbachev, I'm not negotiating.
[00:22:17]  I'm not.
[00:22:20]  Let's dismantle the entire nuclear arsenal or I'm not interested in anything and we'll just pursue Star Wars.
[00:22:28]  Everybody said that was dangerous.
[00:22:31]  Not like this.
[00:22:32]  This is the ballsiest thing I think I've seen a president do, maybe in my lifetime.
[00:22:38]  Would you agree with that?
[00:22:39]  Oh, 100%.
[00:22:41]  But don't mistake balls for reckless because, I mean, over the past multiple administrations, they've been extremely reckless.
[00:22:49]  And it's usually manifested in things like big-time saber rattling over things like Taiwan, things like that, that are designed specifically to antagonize the heck out of the Chinese.
[00:22:59]  This is more like the Cold War.
[00:23:00]  This is more like the Cold War where go after interests all around the world, not direct confrontation with the big enemy.
[00:23:07]  It's amazing.
[00:23:08]  All right.
[00:23:09]  We're going to get into more on this.
[00:23:11]  Also, the cyber attack that happened yesterday.
[00:23:14]  We'll talk about that and so much more with you and the insiders next.
[00:23:18]  First, let me tell you about American financing.
[00:23:20]  NMLS 182334.
[00:23:22]  NMLS consumeraccess.org.
[00:23:23]  APR for Ritz in the Fox starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
[00:23:27]  Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
[00:23:32]  You ever have that moment where you look over your finances and think, what the hell is happening?
[00:23:38]  You know, we were doing fine, and then all of a sudden, we're not doing fine.
[00:23:43]  What do we do?
[00:23:45]  American financing can help.
[00:23:47]  You know, you did the right things.
[00:23:48]  You worked hard.
[00:23:49]  You took responsibility.
[00:23:50]  You paid the bills.
[00:23:50]  And a lot of times the culprit isn't lack of effort.
[00:23:53]  Okay.
[00:23:54]  It's high interest debt that is quietly eating away at your momentum.
[00:23:57]  The credit cards at 20-something percent, loans stacked on top of each other, payments that keep you treading water instead of moving forward.
[00:24:04]  This is where American financing can help you.
[00:24:07]  They're salary, they're employee-owned, and they're mortgage consultants.
[00:24:12]  And they focus on what makes sense for you, not on commissions, because they're not getting commissions.
[00:24:17]  You can review your current mortgage and see whether consolidating high-interest debt into a lower-rate home loan could reduce your monthly payments and help you start building again.
[00:24:26]  If you feel like you're behind it, and you probably are, and it just may mean that your structure needs to change.
[00:24:31]  No upfront fees to find out if you qualify.
[00:24:34]  Just talk to them, see if they can help.
[00:24:36]  American Financing 800-906-2440.
[00:24:39]  That's 800-906-2440.
[00:24:42]  It's AmericanFinancing.net.
[00:24:57]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
[00:24:59]  Thank you so much for listening.
[00:25:00]  Trying to give you a bigger picture of what is going on.

=== Lebanon, Hezbollah, and the Prime Minister (15:15) ===

[00:25:03]  Everybody else is talking about Iran and everything else.
[00:25:06]  And while that is really important, that is not the story.
[00:25:10]  Iran is not the story.
[00:25:11]  The bigger picture is what is happening all around the world.
[00:25:15]  The whole world is being reshuffled.
[00:25:18]  What the UN and the WEF and everybody else took 30 years to put together, Donald Trump has taken the last 13 months and he is redesigning everything himself, destroying that framework so we don't go into a global system and coming up and looking at all of our allies and everything else and saying, what is the future of America?
[00:25:41]  How does the future of America work?
[00:25:43]  How do we still lead the world or how are we at least even competitive?
[00:25:48]  Instead of just decline, decline, decline, he is reshaping everything.
[00:25:53]  And you may not like it.
[00:25:54]  You may not agree with it.
[00:25:56]  It is very, very dangerous, but I do believe it is our only chance.
[00:26:01]  Because if you don't like this, honestly, if you don't like this, can I ask you, what alternative is there?
[00:26:09]  Kick the can down the road?
[00:26:12]  Continue on decline?
[00:26:15]  Because we have been talking about these problems since 1979.
[00:26:20]  And every single president has said this cannot continue.
[00:26:24]  This has to stop.
[00:26:26]  Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, yada, yada, yada.
[00:26:29]  And quite honestly, I dismiss the whole nuclear weapon talk.
[00:26:33]  It is real, but I don't know how real and how close they were because I've heard that for 30 years.
[00:26:41]  And sorry, I just don't, I'm just not going there.
[00:26:44]  That's, I'm not going to, you will not get my support based on that.
[00:26:48]  You can get my support on, yes, they're going to be a danger someday with nuclear weapons, but you're not going to get my support on this was the last moment we had, because I've heard that over and over and over again.
[00:27:02]  Prove it to me, and then I'll play that game.
[00:27:04]  But I'm not playing that game here.
[00:27:07]  We've been burned too many times.
[00:27:10]  But there are other things that are going on, and the world is changing.
[00:27:13]  For instance, Lebanon.
[00:27:14]  Let me bring Jason Buttrell in again.
[00:27:17]  Jason, Lebanon, I mean, Lebanon has really been controlled by Hezbollah for a very long time.
[00:27:25]  Lebanon used to be a Christian country.
[00:27:27]  Used to be very, very safe.
[00:27:29]  It was a great country.
[00:27:31]  And then the Islamic Republic, you know, took root and Hezbollah came in.
[00:27:36]  And it's been a very dangerous country for a very long time.
[00:27:41]  And they have never gone against Hezbollah because Hezbollah was so strong.
[00:27:47]  Lebanon came out yesterday.
[00:27:49]  And if I would have said this a year ago, people would have said, no way, that's crazy.
[00:27:53]  They came out and said, Lebanon, I mean, Hezbollah, stand down.
[00:27:59]  We're not tolerating this anymore.
[00:28:02]  What does that tell you?
[00:28:05]  Tells me that Iranians' influence spread out all over the Middle East has really diminished.
[00:28:11]  And they have all that to thank for the brutality of October 7th.
[00:28:16]  A severe miscalculation completely dismantled the regime before they even knew it was dismantled.
[00:28:23]  Just absolutely nuts.
[00:28:24]  But not only the Iranian influence, but as you're going through with the overall plan between countries like China, countries like Russia, and Iran's place in that, everything started to crumble on October 7th.
[00:28:39]  So just wild.
[00:28:40]  But Lebanon completely would have been a different country if not for the Iranians.
[00:28:47]  Iranians actually introduced suicide bombings into Iran back in the early 80s, just spiraled out of control, built up that network for years to where Hezbollah rivaled the actual Lebanese government.
[00:29:01]  Hezbollah was in control of that country.
[00:29:04]  It is no longer.
[00:29:04]  There's still a threat, and that's what Israel is addressing now.
[00:29:10]  But this is also going to be a threat because this was never addressed in the Obama administration.
[00:29:13]  This is why we were partly why we were screaming at them.
[00:29:16]  Why are you doing this deal?
[00:29:18]  Because the Iranians can now not only shut off the Straits of Hormuz, but also the other Straits, the other waterway off the coast of Yemen through the Houthis.
[00:29:29]  But this is carbon copied all over the Middle East.
[00:29:32]  Look at Iraq next.
[00:29:33]  Look very, very closely.
[00:29:35]  The Prime Minister of Iraq.
[00:29:37]  It makes me really nervous.
[00:29:38]  Really nervous.
[00:29:39]  Now, Prime Minister Al-Maliki, who basically handed after the Iraq war over to the Iranians, he is now getting back into politics.
[00:29:47]  He now wants to run Iraq again.
[00:29:49]  Big-time red flag.
[00:29:51]  Watch that closely because a lot of those Iranian militias have home bases right there in Iraq.
[00:29:57]  So while they're leaving, if this happens and a lot of the IRGC looks to run, they'll go right to Iraq.
[00:30:03]  So bear that in mind and keep an eye.
[00:30:06]  Iran, do we have an update on that?
[00:30:07]  Is an important update?
[00:30:08]  Hang on, we just got an update.
[00:30:10]  The remaining leadership have just been struck again by the United States?
[00:30:15]  No, it's not by the United States.
[00:30:16]  Overnight, the Israeli Air Force struck Iran's leadership complex.
[00:30:21]  The IDF says around 100 fighter jets dropped over 250 bombs.
[00:30:27]  The buildings targeted in the complex included Iran's presidential bureau, the headquarters of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, a compound used by Iran's most senior forum for meetings, as well as an institution for training Iranian army officers.
[00:30:40]  This is interesting because, Jason, I thought we got most of them.
[00:30:43]  And in fact, last night, Trump said we had ideas about who could help with the transition in Iran.
[00:30:50]  And Israel actually took out our second and third choices already.
[00:30:55]  So what does this mean, Jason?
[00:30:58]  So Iran has been setting up for a very long time a very complex but easily implemented succession to keep the regime alive.
[00:31:09]  And they are implementing that as we speak.
[00:31:13]  It's going to be kind of like whack-a-mole, but there's a lot of the people that are still involved with the Iranian government at the highest levels, even the mid-tier people that were still around for the 1979 revolution.
[00:31:24]  So they're hardliners.
[00:31:26]  They're very much down for the cause.
[00:31:29]  So that is going to take.
[00:31:30]  Is the possibility that we get somebody worse than we had?
[00:31:34]  Oh, 100%.
[00:31:35]  Yeah, 100%.
[00:31:37]  it is full of those kinds of people within the clerical regime so yeah that's well just keep having meetings I hope they just keep having meetings.
[00:31:46]  Keep gathering in one spot.
[00:31:48]  If I would be like, hey, we have a, even if it was like, hey, it's a parent-teacher meeting, I'd be like, I'm not going.
[00:31:54]  I am not going to any meetings right now in Iran.
[00:31:58]  Or I might get all my teeth removed.
[00:32:00]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:32:00]  I mean, boy, this is really, you know, and the one thing that keeps going through my mind, unrelated, I mean, related, but unrelated to this, longer term, anybody who ever thought, I'm just going to unplug from the system, I'll just go live in the mountains and they'll never find me.
[00:32:17]  Really?
[00:32:19]  Really?
[00:32:21]  There is no place to hide at this point.
[00:32:24]  Imagine adding more AI into this.
[00:32:28]  There is no place on God's green earth any human can hide anymore.
[00:32:33]  If a country as powerful as ours wants you dead, you will be dead.
[00:32:41]  And that is shocking.
[00:32:43]  Jason, we had a couple of things going on.
[00:32:46]  We were looking for Osama bin Laden for a long time.
[00:32:49]  We found him finally.
[00:32:50]  Obama took, do you remember this?
[00:32:52]  Obama took a year to decide go ahead and kill him or get him.
[00:32:57]  A year.
[00:32:57]  He said it was the hardest decision he ever had to make.
[00:33:00]  Donald Trump was told, what was it, Friday?
[00:33:04]  Hey, we know of a meeting.
[00:33:05]  He's all going to be there and everybody's going to be there.
[00:33:07]  He immediately said, yeah, send the planes, kill him.
[00:33:11]  He didn't hesitate.
[00:33:13]  But what I really want to talk about is, do you think with the technology that we have today that is being used here, do you think we would have found Osama bin Laden quickly and killed him quickly?
[00:33:27]  Possibly.
[00:33:29]  The issue with Osama bin Laden was the heavily infiltrated nature of the Pakistani intelligence services.
[00:33:37]  And I think that when you have a nation state like that that is being manipulated and guarding, like the Pakistanis are not allies, no matter how many times we cut deals or whatever.
[00:33:47]  I know it's a total shocker.
[00:33:50]  But I mean, I felt really dirty.
[00:33:52]  I don't know if I've ever told this story on the air.
[00:33:53]  I felt really weird.
[00:33:55]  Who was it that was the head of Pakistan, the prime minister of Pakistan, when we were pulling out of Afghanistan?
[00:34:05]  And we get a call because we could not get anyone out of Afghanistan.
[00:34:10]  The United States was not allowing anybody to cross the borders.
[00:34:15]  So we had Pakistan sitting there and we're like, we're not going to be able to get through Pakistan.
[00:34:21]  And somebody said, let me call the prime minister of Pakistan, see if we can get anybody through.
[00:34:27]  And I'm like, yeah, right.
[00:34:28]  And they'll all be rounded up and killed on the other side of the border.
[00:34:32]  No, the guy said, he calls me back and he says, Glenn, he'll help us.
[00:34:40]  The prime minister will help us, but only if he talks to you.
[00:34:44]  And I'm like, me, what the hell?
[00:34:46]  I mean, how does he even know who I am?
[00:34:48]  What are you talking about?
[00:34:49]  Talks to me.
[00:34:50]  And he knew he was being targeted by his own people.
[00:34:54]  And he said, listen, I'm going to help your people out.
[00:34:58]  I'm going to help get your people out.
[00:35:00]  But will you at least put a good word in for me with your friends on Capitol Hill when all of this comes down to at least say, hey, he was helpful on getting our people out?
[00:35:13]  And I said, I have no juice, but sure, I'll give it a whirl.
[00:35:18]  And he let, he let, he got our people out.
[00:35:23]  I remember this.
[00:35:25]  You had to write a letter.
[00:35:26]  Yeah, that's what I was saying.
[00:35:27]  Remember that?
[00:35:27]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:35:28]  And I was pretty uncomfortable with it.
[00:35:30]  I was.
[00:35:31]  You were.
[00:35:32]  Well, and it kind of became a bit of an international incident.
[00:35:36]  It did?
[00:35:37]  Yes.
[00:35:38]  That's died down.
[00:35:39]  I remember.
[00:35:40]  Right now, Pakistan's got Taliban to deal with.
[00:35:42]  So, you know, yeah, that was a weird time.
[00:35:44]  It was a really weird time.
[00:35:46]  I wonder if we still have that letter.
[00:35:47]  I'd love to see that letter.
[00:35:48]  Because I remember wording everything really carefully.
[00:35:51]  Like, I am very uncomfortable with this.
[00:35:55]  But if you're just asking me to go, hey, he did us a solid once.
[00:36:01]  Can't vouch for anything else.
[00:36:03]  You left out an important detail.
[00:36:04]  He was a fan.
[00:36:06]  That's right.
[00:36:07]  He was.
[00:36:08]  I don't know how he got the Glenn Beck program in Pakistan, but yeah.
[00:36:11]  We're in like watching Torch membership.
[00:36:14]  We're in 147 different countries now.
[00:36:18]  147 different countries.
[00:36:21]  It is incredible.
[00:36:23]  It's incredible.
[00:36:24]  Which one do you think the cyber attacks are originating from?
[00:36:30]  My guess here.
[00:36:33]  My guess here.
[00:36:36]  We have just, in case you don't know, we've had two massive cyber attacks.
[00:36:40]  And by the way, so you know, every bit of information is secure because we don't hold any information.
[00:36:47]  We don't hold anything about you, your credit card or anything else.
[00:36:52]  That is all done by somebody else and it's super, super secure.
[00:36:56]  We don't want responsibility for any of that.
[00:36:59]  We don't have responsibility for any of that because it has to be bank level grade security.
[00:37:06]  So, but we, what we're getting is denial of service attacks.
[00:37:10]  So when you try to log on, you can't log on to Glennbeck.com.
[00:37:14]  And I always know we're doing something right when it seems like Satan puts up roadblocks.
[00:37:23]  You know what I mean?
[00:37:24]  Always, this always happens.
[00:37:25]  Jason, you know this because you've been around me for so long.
[00:37:29]  It's always this way.
[00:37:30]  Something really, really bad or tough or danger happens right before we do something really big.
[00:37:37]  So we have the crown prince of Iran on and we're just going to talk to him about what the people in Iran are saying and what is the plan and, you know, hey, support the people of Iran to rise up themselves before, you know, war.
[00:37:54]  And, you know, they're on the streets.
[00:37:56]  Well, the day he's on, we have a massive denial of service attack.
[00:38:03]  And our people say that it had to be state level because it was so massive and so complex, so sophisticated.
[00:38:15]  So we fix it.
[00:38:16]  We make sure they can't do that again.
[00:38:18]  And then yesterday, surprise, surprise, on another huge day to stand up and say, hey, the people of Iran could be free, we're hit by another denial of service attack.
[00:38:31]  And again, we don't know who it is.
[00:38:33]  Apparently, we've hired some people and they have tracked it to, what is it?
[00:38:38]  I'm sorry, I'm so green at this, but it's like the last jump.
[00:38:41]  We can take it to the last jump.
[00:38:44]  And that last jump is, you know, we need probably the government to, you know, get in involved on that.
[00:38:52]  But it is somebody who is absolutely pro-Islamist, pro-Iran or Palestine, I think.
[00:39:12]  I think.
[00:39:12]  I don't know who it is, but we thank you for being a member of Glenbeck.com and Torch.
[00:39:19]  If you'd like to sign up, we'd use your support.
[00:39:23]  But you get all kinds of information.
[00:39:25]  And apparently that information is important to somebody.
[00:39:28]  Somebody is trying to make sure that whatever the information is that we are giving, and by the way, you want to talk about attack.
[00:39:35]  We are doing something on March.
[00:39:37]  Hang on, Sarah, just give me 30 seconds.
[00:39:38]  We're doing something on March 19th, exposing the Islamic blueprint for the conquering of the West.
[00:39:45]  I'm going to get into it next hour.
[00:39:47]  I'll get into it a little bit also with the insiders during one of the breaks to give more information.
[00:39:52]  But this is a vital, vital special.
[00:39:56]  We have spent months doing research on this.
[00:39:59]  We have hired research teams outside of our own to go and look for things.
[00:40:04]  It is really important.
[00:40:06]  If you want to see what we're fighting and what they're planning, that'll be on March 19th only on Glennbeck.com slash torch.
[00:40:15]  Join us now, Glennbeck.com/slash torch.
[00:40:17]  All right, back in just a second.

[00:41:43]  It's a countertop water purifier certified to remove up to 99.9% of impurities.
[00:41:49]  I mean, that includes everything from fluoride to PFAS to fertilizer runoff.
[00:41:54]  Ugh, that's disgusting.
[00:41:56]  Pharmaceuticals?
[00:41:57]  I'll take that in pill form.
[00:41:59]  I don't really want it in my water.
[00:42:02]  The first thing I noticed with Cove Pure is you'll notice the taste.
[00:42:05]  You know, it's what water is supposed to taste like, like pure and clean without the aftertaste.
[00:42:10]  You actually want more water and it's easy as well.

[00:42:17]  Best part is you can choose any temperature, hot or cold, with one tap.
[00:42:20]  If you want fluoride, you've got the toothpaste, you've got the mouthwash.
[00:42:23]  You don't have to deal with all this stuff that you don't want maybe in your water.
[00:42:27]  So don't wait for the government to sort out your pure water.

=== Homeland Security in Combat (15:14) ===

[00:45:40]  Hello, America.
[00:45:40]  We have some breaking news.
[00:45:43]  Israel has just announced that they have taken out the next level of leadership at Iran.
[00:45:56]  You know, just like we took out the supreme leader and, you know, what was it, 40 people?
[00:46:00]  They were just having a meeting of who are we going to elect to be the next supreme leader?
[00:46:06]  And they were all together.
[00:46:07]  It was like a, you know, it was like the conclave at the Vatican, and Israel just killed them all.
[00:46:14]  So, you know, and apparently that had, you know, our second and third choice of who was going to lead the country.
[00:46:21]  Well, those people are gone.
[00:46:24]  So Israel is not messing around.
[00:46:28]  And nor would I, honestly, with Twelvers.
[00:46:32]  I'm going to get into that here in a minute.
[00:46:34]  But I also want to talk to you about a declaration of war and the War Powers Act.
[00:46:40]  Jonathan Tourley, he has written a great book called Rage and the Republic, which if you want to understand the founding of our nation, you want to understand what they were really trying to do, how they did it, and see the parallels in today's world.
[00:47:00]  It is going to blow your mind how closely aligned things were back then as they are now.
[00:47:06]  All this stuff that you've ever heard of, oh no, they were in lockstep, they were in agreement, they were all uh-uh, uh-uh.
[00:47:13]  It was as dicey as it is now.
[00:47:17]  And Rage and Republic is his new book, which is perfect for America's 250.
[00:47:23]  We're going to talk to him about that specifically the War Powers Act.
[00:47:28]  How would they have viewed the War Powers Act?
[00:47:32]  And I like Jonathan because, you know, in a world today where everybody's like, you got to agree with me 100% or you're a traitor.
[00:47:43]  You know how I know that's bull crap?
[00:47:45]  I know that's bull crap because I'm a fan of the Constitution and I can't tell you how many times the Constitution says, I can't do things that I want to do.
[00:47:57]  You know what I mean?
[00:47:58]  And I don't say the Constitution, well, we got to read it a different way.
[00:48:01]  I'm like, nope, that's what the Constitution says.
[00:48:03]  So when somebody who is reading the Constitution, you know they're legit when half the time you want to carry them on your shoulders and the other half you're like, oh crap, can't we say that quieter?
[00:48:16]  Because that's the way the Constitution is.
[00:48:18]  That's the way Jonathan Turley is.
[00:48:19]  So we're going to talk to him about the War Powers Act.
[00:48:22]  How would the founders have looked at this situation in Iran with him in 60 seconds?
[00:48:26]  First, let me tell you about RealEstateAgentsitrust.com.
[00:48:29]  This is my company.
[00:48:30]  I started this, I don't know, 10, 15 years ago.
[00:48:32]  Our real estate agents, we started with the 500 best real estate agents, according to the Wall Street Journal, and I learned from them.
[00:48:38]  And I said, why are you the best?
[00:48:41]  What made you the best?
[00:48:42]  What is it about your practices that are different from, you know, everybody else?
[00:48:48]  Well, part of it is they take it seriously.
[00:48:51]  This is their full-time gig, and they've been doing it for a long time, but they also understand advertising and how much that has changed.
[00:49:00]  They understand the market.
[00:49:01]  And I learned from them, and then we started going out and looking for people that had those same qualities so I could build a company that is a free service to you, that I could recommend somebody that could get your house sold on time for the most amount of money and help you get a great deal on your next house, whether you're moving across the street or across the country.
[00:49:20]  Our agents have had the two best years in their careers in the last two years.

[00:49:46]  Professor Turley.
[00:49:49]  Welcome, sir.
[00:49:50]  How are you?
[00:49:50]  How are you?
[00:49:52]  I am great.
[00:49:53]  It is great to have you on.
[00:49:54]  Your book, Rage and Republic, is fabulous.
[00:49:58]  It's just really, really good.
[00:50:01]  How would the founders have looked at the situation in Iran?
[00:50:08]  Well, they would not have looked kindly upon it.
[00:50:10]  You know, the framers divided the power over war between Congress and the president.
[00:50:19]  And so under Article II, Section, sorry, Article II, Section II, the President is declared the Commander-in-Chief.
[00:50:26]  But under Article I, Section 8, Congress alone may declare war.
[00:50:31]  So the framers wanted to make it difficult to go to war.
[00:50:35]  They didn't like foreign entanglements, and they divided the power accordingly.
[00:50:41]  The problem is that we haven't had a declared war since World War II, and the Congress has largely evaded its responsibility by passing resolutions, the authorization of the use of force, and the courts have largely deferred to the political branches.
[00:51:01]  So in looking at this issue, part of the question is, is the president acting according to established authority?
[00:51:10]  The answer is, yeah.
[00:51:12]  I mean, in the sense of the interpretation, the modern interpretation of the Constitution, not quite if you look at the original intent.
[00:51:21]  But there's no question that he is using the authority used by past Democratic presidents, including President Barack Obama.
[00:51:32]  I mean, I've actually been somewhat amazed by the comments of people like Nancy Pelosi, Senator Blumenthal.
[00:51:43]  I represented members of Congress opposing the Libyan war unilaterally launched by Barack Obama.
[00:51:51]  There was no claim of a threat against the United States, imminent or otherwise.
[00:51:56]  It was a regime change attack on the capital city, on the Libyan military.
[00:52:02]  We lost that case.
[00:52:04]  But at the time, Pelosi said no authorization is required for President Obama.
[00:52:09]  And Blumenthal actually praised the unilateral attack.
[00:52:13]  Both of them have come out this week expressing horror at the thought that a president can commit this type of attack.
[00:52:22]  So here's what I want to ask you.
[00:52:25]  You know, it's my understanding.
[00:52:26]  I know I'm oversimplifying this, but it is my understanding under the current reading of war powers, the president has to file the paperwork and say to Congress, I've notified you early.
[00:52:39]  I'm filing this paperwork.
[00:52:41]  We are engaged now in hostilities.
[00:52:44]  And he has 60 days, right?
[00:52:47]  But he can then say, at the end of 60 days, I need another 30.
[00:52:52]  So he can actually go 90 days before they actually have to do anything.
[00:52:56]  But the problem has been not a single president has ever filed the paperwork, and Congress doesn't insist on the filing of the paperwork.
[00:53:03]  So the clock never starts, correct?
[00:53:08]  Well, that is a part of the problem.
[00:53:09]  The War Powers Act has always been contested by both Democratic and Republican presidents.
[00:53:15]  Some of the restrictions on a president in carrying out these types of initial combat operations has run against the grain of Article II.
[00:53:27]  And presidents have said, you cannot require us to go through these steps.
[00:53:31]  You have the right to declare war.
[00:53:33]  But presidents have always asserted the right to respond to what they consider to be threats to the national security.
[00:53:42]  And courts have largely deferred. to presidents in that sense and deferred to Congress in taking steps.
[00:53:49]  So, but taking the War Powers Act at its face, 60 days is ample, very likely for this operation.
[00:53:58]  And that's the reason why today you have Senator Kaine and others putting forward a war powers resolution to cut that period down and to say, we hereby order you to stop all combat operations in Iran.
[00:54:17]  The problem with that is it's a tough-sounding resolution until you get to the final line.
[00:54:24]  And the final line says, nothing in this section restricts you in dealing with imminent attacks.
[00:54:32]  Well, every attack now is imminent.
[00:54:34]  Every attack we launch is preemptive.
[00:54:37]  I mean, the Iranian government is firing missiles randomly at other countries.
[00:54:43]  So the question is, what does this resolution even do?
[00:54:47]  And can't the president veto this anyway?
[00:54:50]  I mean, he could pass both the House and the Senate and then get to his desk and he can veto it, can't he?
[00:54:55]  Right.
[00:54:55]  And the other thing is that it just, I don't even think it will pass.
[00:54:59]  I think the interesting dynamic here on the Hill is to see how many of these members are willing in the middle of combat operations to say, even symbolically, even though it's sort of a paper tiger, you better stop now.
[00:55:16]  But the other combination with that, the sort of companion to that, is that there's also a vote this week scheduled to fund Homeland Security and TSA.
[00:55:28]  So it'll be very interesting how many of these Democrats, we've already had some of them come forward like Murphy and Durbin and others saying, no, we're not going to fund Homeland Security, the Coast Guard, TSA, until you give us compromises on ICE.
[00:55:47]  That is going to be breathtaking if the Democrats maintain that position in the middle of this conflict.
[00:55:56]  So, you know, it's so weird because I am, you know, I don't like the Patriot Act.
[00:56:02]  I don't like any of this stuff.
[00:56:04]  However, two things.
[00:56:06]  The War Powers Act.
[00:56:07]  If you want to actually say and make a statement, the president must act with Congress and it has to be declared every time.
[00:56:16]  The time to do that was two months ago or in two months, hopefully, if this thing is over.
[00:56:22]  You do it when you're not at war.
[00:56:24]  It's completely irresponsible to do it right now.
[00:56:29]  The messages it sends to our enemies, the idea that you're just going to turn this thing off is insane.
[00:56:39]  The same thing with Department of Homeland Security.
[00:56:41]  You can't just do that at the most critical time of Homeland Security because that's how our security is geared now.
[00:56:50]  You want to dismantle it.
[00:56:51]  I'm all for it.
[00:56:51]  Dismantle it.
[00:56:52]  But not now.
[00:56:54]  Is that reasonable, Jonathan?
[00:56:56]  That's a fascinating thing.
[00:56:57]  Well, I think that's the fascinating thing, Glenn.
[00:56:58]  You're a student of history and you know this as well as I do that from the very beginning, from Thomas Jefferson, presidents have been able to box in Congress on this power because they have the inherent power to dedicate U.S. armed forces.
[00:57:13]  So presidents have the right to initiate a fight.
[00:57:17]  They simply do.
[00:57:18]  If they judge someone threatening the country, they don't have to wait for anyone.
[00:57:23]  But once that fight has started, it's very difficult for Congress to throw a flag on the play and say, okay, walk away when you're literally in the grips of an opponent.
[00:57:35]  So what Kane is suggesting in this resolution is that as hundreds of ballistic missiles are flying, as attacks are occurring around the world, the U.S. military is supposed to disengage.
[00:57:50]  And basically, it's a choice between fight or flight.
[00:57:53]  And it says, choose flight.
[00:57:57]  Jonathan, I need to take a one-minute break and then come back.
[00:58:01]  And I want to talk to you about Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary pirates and how that all worked out.
[00:58:08]  What system did he use?
[00:58:10]  Because that turned out to be very unpopular and they stopped early, at least as I remember.
[00:58:15]  And I know you have this.
[00:58:17]  You have this down.
[00:58:18]  So can you hang for just 60 seconds and we'll come back?
[00:58:21]  Of course.
[00:58:22]  All right.
[00:58:23]  Let me tell you about LifeLock.
[00:58:24]  Massive data leak recently exposed 6.8 billion email records compiled from older breaches and stolen data collections.
[00:58:34]  Research has found that 3 billion of those addresses are now vulnerable, many of those linked to exposed passwords.
[00:58:41]  Cyber criminals can use that information to send really convincing phishing scams now, reset accounts, even spread malware, all built around data that may have been just sitting out there for years.
[00:58:53]  It is a reminder that cybercrime is not some distant possibility.
[00:58:57]  It is a constant background risk.
[00:58:59]  You need somebody and something watching over the threats you can't see.
[00:59:03]  LifeLock monitors millions of data points every single second for risk to your identity, and they can detect and alert you to the potential threats that you may not spot on your own, like loans taken out in your name or crimes committed by somebody pretending to be you.
[00:59:16]  And if you do become a victim, they have a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist, a whole team that will work to fix it.

[00:59:35]  in 10 seconds with Jonathan Durley.
[00:59:47]  There are a couple of books that I know written about the founding of our nation that are critical.
[00:59:54]  One of them, and I would put this at your top of your list, you're looking for a book to read about the founding of our country and really understand, especially, I love the way you've treated Thomas Paine.
[01:00:04]  Really understand all of the people in the real way, not somebody looking back 200 years, but understanding them from their time period, from their perspective and their time period.
[01:00:17]  It's Rage and the Republic by Jonathan Turley.
[01:00:20]  Pick it up.
[01:00:21]  It just went on sale a couple of weeks ago, and it is really, really good.
[01:00:25]  Jonathan, talk to me about the Barbary pirates.
[01:00:28]  Thomas Jefferson said this was our first foreign war.
[01:00:31]  And he said, you know, if you understand the, I think he called them the Mohammedans or something, the Islamists back in the day, the Barbary pirates, and you understand what they believe, they're not going away.
[01:00:44]  And we either finish this now or it'll be our first foreign war.
[01:00:49]  And if we don't finish it, it will be our last foreign war at some point because they're not going to give up.

=== George Washington and the Barbary Pirates (15:51) ===

[01:00:55]  How did that happen?
[01:00:57]  What?
[01:00:57]  Go ahead.
[01:00:59]  No, you're quite right.
[01:01:01]  I mean, it's a fascinating analogy because, you know, this on both political and strategic terms, you know, we were, Congress essentially was yielding to the Barbary pirates.
[01:01:15]  It actually voted to appropriate 80,000 $800,000, which is two-thirds of our budget.
[01:01:25]  Right.
[01:01:26]  To release American prisoners.
[01:01:30]  It was breathtaking.
[01:01:31]  And Jefferson and others began to balk and say, look, we can't do that.
[01:01:37]  George Washington also expressed shock that we were going to pay tribute.
[01:01:43]  And negotiations, and this is very similar to the Iranians.
[01:01:47]  It was clear from negotiations that these pirates were going to stay pirates.
[01:01:53]  They just basically got you to pay to appropriate money for a ransom.
[01:01:58]  And so Jefferson decided to act on his own and sent a fleet to engage the Barbary pirates.
[01:02:08]  Now, the other analogy that's interesting here is it shows you, as you were noting, Glenn, the sort of continuity of this issue, is even back then, it was murky.
[01:02:19]  Congress passed a law that appropriated support for Jefferson to protect American shipping with the Barbary pirates in mind.
[01:02:32]  So it was, at the very beginning, Congress was adopting these type of murky halfway measures rather than declaring war.
[01:02:43]  They have always been spineless weasels.
[01:02:45]  It's amazing.
[01:02:51]  It's never really the curse.
[01:02:53]  Yeah.
[01:02:54]  And, you know, ultimately, you know, it still remained fluid even after the peace treaty with these pirates.
[01:03:06]  But, you know, ultimately, I think Jefferson was right in the sense that Congress's approach was truly crazy.
[01:03:15]  I mean, the idea that you're going to appropriate a tribute or ransom to pirates is just moronic.
[01:03:24]  And so Jefferson would have none of it.
[01:03:27]  But I think that the analogy of the Iranians is really sort of telling that if you listen to Marco Rubio and others, you know, they said last night we heard from one of the negotiators that the Iranians came in and said, we have enough enriched uranium now to make 11 nuclear bombs.
[01:03:44]  And that was their starting position in negotiation.
[01:03:47]  Well, that is not the way to start this negotiation.
[01:03:51]  Not with Donald Trump.
[01:03:52]  Yeah.
[01:03:53]  Exactly.
[01:03:54]  And so I think that it's very similar to the Barbary pirates who are saying, you know, don't mess with us.
[01:04:00]  This is our area.
[01:04:01]  Everyone has to pay us tribute.
[01:04:05]  So, and I know you can't speak for them, but for the way you look at the founders and what you know and the deep study that you've done and the understanding of the Constitution, would the Thomas Jeffersons of the day look at what we're doing now and going and say, I mean, Barack Obama was kind of doing what Congress was doing and it just doesn't work?
[01:04:29]  I mean, I know they wouldn't have been lockstep on this, but would some of the big ones be fighting for what Trump is doing or not?
[01:04:39]  Well, I only have to disagree with you, Glenn, on one point.
[01:04:42]  I've always maintained that only I can speak for the framers, particularly James Madison.
[01:04:47]  But my students will tell you that I've asserted that authority repeatedly.
[01:04:54]  But no, we all try to talk for the framers.
[01:04:58]  And of course, you're absolutely right.
[01:04:59]  I know.
[01:05:00]  No one quite knows what would happen if we were able to sort of bring them through time.
[01:05:06]  I think that some figures would certainly support this.
[01:05:10]  I think that Jefferson, ironically, could well support Trump in this.
[01:05:15]  People like Alexander Hamilton, I think, would definitely support this action.
[01:05:21]  I think George Washington would probably support the action.
[01:05:25]  I think that others like Mason would not support it and argue that you have to, Congress has got to step up, put on the big boy pants, and actually declare war.
[01:05:40]  Part of the issue here, to give the other side of this, is that many people have said, look, the fact is.
[01:05:48]  Jonathan, Jonathan, I've got, hang on, I've only got about 15 seconds.
[01:05:52]  I'm going to have to ask you to hold on if you can, and we'll get into that.
[01:05:56]  I really appreciate your time.
[01:05:58]  Jonathan Turley is with us.
[01:06:00]  The name of the book is Rage and the Republic.
[01:06:04]  Get it.
[01:06:04]  It is a great book on the founding of America.
[01:06:07]  You will understand our founders.
[01:06:09]  And he brings them to life, unlike I think many have ever done before.
[01:06:14]  Jonathan Turley, Rage and the Republic.
[01:06:17]  More in just a second.
[01:06:19]  Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
[01:06:20]  Have you ever noticed how you can get used to almost anything?
[01:06:23]  A car that pulls a little to the left, a phone with a cracked screen, a door that sticks if you don't just lift it just right.
[01:06:29]  You don't like it, but you adjust, you compensate, and eventually it just becomes normal, even though it's not.
[01:06:36]  A lot of people do the same thing with pain.
[01:06:38]  They just try to get used to it.
[01:06:39]  But if that discomfort is being driven by inflammation, then accepting it is, you know, as normal as driving a car with a check engine light on and just turning the radio up when you start to hear knocking.
[01:06:51]  My question is, are you one of those people?
[01:06:54]  Relief Factor was built to go after that root issue.
[01:06:57]  It's a daily supplement designed to help your body address inflammation so you're not just managing the symptoms and hoping for the best.
[01:07:03]  Over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more.
[01:07:08]  You've probably learned how to compensate.
[01:07:10]  Stop compensating.
[01:07:11]  Begin your three-week quick start and see what Relief Factor can do for you.
[01:07:14]  Call 800 for Relief or go to ReliefFactor.com.
[01:07:18]  It's ReliefFactor at relieffactor.com, 1-800, the number 4 relief.

[01:07:57]  We are lucky enough to have Jonathan Turley on the show today.
[01:08:02]  His book is Rage and the Republic.
[01:08:04]  It is a great book to understand the founding of the nation and how our founders thought.
[01:08:10]  And Jonathan, I want to go back to where we were when we just left off a second.
[01:08:16]  You were in the middle of answering a question, but I want to kind of frame it this way.
[01:08:23]  Reading your book, knowing about the founders, looking at what the reality was back then, we look at our founders as these giant marble statues, and they weren't.
[01:08:35]  We look at them as like they were all in lockstep.
[01:08:37]  They weren't.
[01:08:38]  In fact, they're very much, we're having the same big government, small government, war powers act, the same exact arguments.
[01:08:48]  They got through it.
[01:08:50]  We're struggling to get through it.
[01:08:52]  What's the difference between us?
[01:08:55]  Well, first of all, the framers were very practical people.
[01:09:00]  In some ways, the Barbary Pirates really did resonate with many of the framers, even though the did not like foreign entanglements, because they were all about capitalism.
[01:09:12]  They were all about the free market.
[01:09:13]  They were about expanding American markets.
[01:09:16]  The Barbary pirates were a choke point on those markets because all of our goods went by ship.
[01:09:24]  That's a very interesting analogy to Iran, which is trying to close off the Strait of Hormuz.
[01:09:30]  So it's a very close comparison.
[01:09:33]  The biggest issue I think that the framers would be focused on today is how war has changed.
[01:09:40]  Back then, Jefferson would send off ships that would take a month to get anywhere they needed to go.
[01:09:47]  Today, in the time of ballistic missiles, the presidents can have as little as minutes.
[01:09:54]  And so there's never been any question since the forming of the Republic that presidents could respond to imminent attacks under Article II.
[01:10:04]  And so in all practical purposes, I think the Framers would look at this as a natural type of tension between the branches, but perhaps an unavoidable one, that presidents are going to have to exercise this power even when the Congress disagrees.
[01:10:22]  But then Congress will have to have the courage, if they disagree, to pass limitations on the use of that power.
[01:10:30]  It just said, you know, presidents know that once they are in the thick of it, this country has to rally around our troops and finish the fight.
[01:10:41]  How do you think it should be written, Jonathan?
[01:10:43]  I mean, I go back and forth.
[01:10:45]  If we have Congress to it, they'll never do anything.
[01:10:48]  We'll all die if they had to declare everything.
[01:10:51]  You know what I mean?
[01:10:51]  We'd all be dead.
[01:10:52]  And then one of them would be like, okay, I think it's pretty popular.
[01:10:55]  We could probably vote for that now.
[01:10:57]  But I don't want to give the president a blank check.
[01:11:00]  I mean, any president, not this president, any president.
[01:11:03]  I don't want the president to have a blank check.
[01:11:07]  How should this happen?
[01:11:09]  Well, the most important thing is that if the Congress, which is clearly the case, is unwilling to go back to declarations of war, they have got to perfect the AUMF system, this authorization of military force.
[01:11:23]  What happened with the last AUMFs from 2001, 2002 is that presidents just adopted these wild interpretations that a AUMF directed at Iraq could apply anywhere around the world.
[01:11:38]  Those have to be much tighter than Congress has done.
[01:11:43]  They've used general language for a reason.
[01:11:45]  They want this cup to pass from their lips.
[01:11:48]  But to the extent that they're willing to use congressional authority, we have to make sure that they use it more judiciously and to be more concrete in this language.
[01:12:02]  You were just talking to me about, you know, you don't want to speak for the founders.
[01:12:06]  And boy, I don't either.
[01:12:07]  And Jonathan, I'm working on something now that I built a proprietary AI and it is all blocked off.
[01:12:20]  It has to memorize, unlike regular AI, you know, chat GPT or whatever.
[01:12:26]  It doesn't memorize everything because it can't memorize that much.
[01:12:29]  We are now approaching a petabyte of documents, their writings, everything that influenced them.
[01:12:38]  And from that day, not somebody 100 years from now saying this is what it meant, just their actual writings and the books and things that we know influenced them.
[01:12:49]  And we've put it all into this AI, and it is remarkable.
[01:12:54]  It doesn't know anything past 1820.
[01:12:57]  And I've asked a few people to test it before we unleash it to the population.
[01:13:05]  We have created a few things, and I'd love to send you a George AI where it's George, based on their writings alone, talking in today's language about how he or the founders would look at war.
[01:13:24]  And I would love to get your opinion on, you know, just the whole thing ethically in the first place.
[01:13:30]  But also, as we add more things, it's so important to me that we don't ever say, I mean, there's going to be a big warning label on this one that goes out today.
[01:13:39]  This does not imply he is, the founders would have been for or against the action in Iran.
[01:13:47]  This is just trying to get people to think, how did the founders think of things based only on their own writing?
[01:13:55]  A couple of things.
[01:13:56]  The use of AI like that, if it is guarded and has no influence except for their original words, is that a good thing or a bad thing if it's policed and taken care of?
[01:14:12]  No, I think that, look, AI is here to stay.
[01:14:15]  And by the way, I do love the limitation because my students will tell you I've never felt comfortable outside the 18th and 19th centuries.
[01:14:24]  But the funny thing is in Rage from the Republic, I talk about AI and how AI in combination with robotics is going to create a huge challenge to our republic in the 21st century, a challenge that we have to be prepared for, including what is likely to be a massive loss of jobs.
[01:14:45]  We've already seen just a couple of days ago, you had one of the founders of social media say that he's laying off almost half of his workforce in his new company because of AI.
[01:15:01]  We've never faced that, of a large population of unemployed, potentially unemployable people, which is what I talk about in the book.
[01:15:09]  And I do believe the solution is going to be what I call a liberty-enhancing economy, that is, to still remain firm on our market orientation in the system.
[01:15:20]  But AI is here to stay.
[01:15:22]  And one of the things that the book cautions against is the most likely response of Congress and politicians, which is to subsidize failing industries, try to preserve jobs that are not going to come back instead of being more nimble and shifting with the new technology.
[01:15:44]  Wasn't it Hamilton that we just talked about this the other day?
[01:15:47]  I think it was Hamilton that talked about a form of UBI in a way.
[01:15:53]  No, it was Milton Freeman.
[01:15:54]  I know that, but there was another one.
[01:15:57]  Yeah.
[01:15:58]  But there was another one that was that they kind of flirted with a, was it Payne?
[01:16:04]  Thomas Paine.
[01:16:05]  They kind of flirt.
[01:16:06]  Yeah, Thomas Paine.
[01:16:07]  That flirted with, you know, kind of a national, you know, gift to every citizen, et cetera, et cetera.
[01:16:14]  I mean, these ideas are not new.
[01:16:17]  Now it's becoming vital that we figure this one out.
[01:16:21]  What are we going to do?
[01:16:23]  Now, jobs and the ability to earn, it is changing.
[01:16:29]  It is going to change.
[01:16:32]  That's right.
[01:16:33]  And Rage and the Republic actually talks about UBI, Milton Friedman, but also Thomas Paine.
[01:16:39]  You're absolutely right that this goes back to the foundations of the Republic, at least that period.

=== Why We Cannot Be a Kept Citizenry (04:58) ===

[01:16:47]  The cautionary note that I include in Rage and the Republic is we cannot be a kept citizenry.
[01:16:54]  That is, we cannot accept UBI so that a large percentage of our citizens are basically live on the subsistence that is supplied by the government.
[01:17:06]  Explain why.
[01:17:06]  Our republic was not designed for that.
[01:17:11]  Explain why that's so dangerous, Jonathan.
[01:17:14]  Because it's going to change.
[01:17:16]  You know, one of the differences with Rage and the Republic and some other books is I'm more concerned about less the economic as much as the political impact of AI and robotics.
[01:17:26]  If we have a UBI for a large percentage of our population, it changes the relationship of citizens to the state.
[01:17:33]  Our republic is based on a fierce sense of individuality and independence.
[01:17:39]  You know, this is not just the 250th anniversary of our independence.
[01:17:44]  It's the 250th anniversary of the publication of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.
[01:17:50]  And the founders embraced Smith.
[01:17:53]  They recognized his economic theory based on a market system as perfect for their political theory.
[01:18:01]  They knew that unless people were economically independent, they would never truly be free.
[01:18:07]  And so that's what I talk about in Rage and the Republic is that we cannot create this kept citizenry model.
[01:18:17]  We also can't allow for the creation of sort of arts and crafts population where the government just pays for us to blow glass and make pots.
[01:18:28]  That's going to affect how citizens view the relationship to the state in a way that is going to undermine our republic.
[01:18:39]  Can we make it, Jonathan?
[01:18:40]  I know you're an optimistic guy, but I mean, there has to be times, you know, especially when you're researching.
[01:18:46]  This book takes the stories of the founders and you understand them and then you tie them to the things that are going on today to show a, not necessarily a new problem, but a new age.
[01:19:00]  And we have to deal with these things now.
[01:19:02]  There had to be times that you're like, I don't know if we're going to make it.
[01:19:07]  You know, there are times where you have doubts.
[01:19:09]  I talk about in the book after I go through the French Revolution, and I then move to looking forward.
[01:19:17]  And I start that second half by saying that when I was finishing my chapter on the French Revolution, all of a sudden I started to hear guillotine, guillotine, guillotine.
[01:19:27]  And I had this moment of confusion, like I was being pulled into my work.
[01:19:32]  And I realized that this was coming from outside my office at the law school.
[01:19:37]  There was a pro-Palestinian demonstration going on, and they had a guillotine.
[01:19:44]  And I sat there in sort of disbelief, but there was that moment of doubt.
[01:19:50]  You know, could it happen?
[01:19:52]  You know, is it possible that after everything this republic has been through, that it won't survive us?
[01:19:58]  It won't survive this century.
[01:20:01]  I think it will.
[01:20:02]  I think that we have the perfect system to not only survive, but thrive in the 21st century.
[01:20:09]  My book suggests the opposite about the EU.
[01:20:12]  I think the EU is going to collapse in a spectacular and dangerous fashion.
[01:20:17]  But we have the ability to be nimble.
[01:20:22]  But the big challenge is we have to answer a question I talk about in the book from the beginning of our republic.
[01:20:29]  There was a Frenchman named Krev Kour who wrote under the name Farmer John.
[01:20:35]  And he wrote a book for Europe, particularly France, about this weird new nation.
[01:20:42]  And in his book, he asks, what then is this American?
[01:20:48]  And I talk about that question and ask if we can answer that today, not just who we were back then, who we are today.
[01:20:57]  If we can't answer that question, this republic will not last.
[01:21:02]  But we have to be able to remember who we were and who we are.
[01:21:06]  And if we do that, we will not just survive, but thrive in this century.
[01:21:13]  Jonathan, you always give me hope to talk to you that, you know, there's somebody who understands it.
[01:21:19]  Your warnings about the law schools and what's happening in our law schools is chilling.
[01:21:25]  But I appreciate you ringing the bell and bringing it and rooting it to history.
[01:21:28]  Thank you so much, Jonathan.
[01:21:29]  I appreciate it.
[01:21:30]  It's always a pleasure, my friend.
[01:21:31]  Thanks for having me out.
[01:21:33]  You bet.
[01:21:33]  Jonathan Turley, Rage and the Republic is the name of the book.
[01:21:38]  You will learn a lot and you will see critical thinking in practice.

=== Simply Safe: Supporting Your Home (03:23) ===

[01:21:45]  All right, let me talk to you about Simply Safe.
[01:21:47]  Here's something to think about.
[01:21:49]  You insure your car.
[01:21:50]  You insure your health.
[01:21:51]  You pay every single month to protect things you hope will never happen, but you protect against them.
[01:21:57]  Your home deserves the same logic.
[01:21:59]  If you're like most people, your house is your biggest asset.
[01:22:02]  It holds your families, your memories.
[01:22:03]  It holds everything.
[01:22:05]  And yet a lot of security systems react only after somebody has broken in.
[01:22:08]  It's too late.
[01:22:10]  SimplySafe is a customizable whole home security system backed by 24-7 monitoring agents who can act when you can't.
[01:22:17]  Even active guard outdoor protection.
[01:22:20]  Somebody, you have a fence, somebody jumps your fence, somebody's approaching your house.
[01:22:24]  The alarm goes off.
[01:22:25]  They can actually talk to them before they even reach the house.
[01:22:28]  Say, what are you doing here?
[01:22:30]  Who are you?
[01:22:31]  You're not supposed to be here.
[01:22:32]  Police are on the way.
[01:22:34]  That is a game changer.
[01:22:36]  They protect over 4 million people, 20 years of experience, just named best home security system of 2026 by U.S. News and World Report.
[01:22:43]  They win that almost every year.
[01:22:45]  They get better and better every year.

[01:23:29]  You're trying to move more.
[01:23:30]  Maybe a big chunk of your day just opened up and you no longer have any excuse whatsoever not to actually go to the gym.
[01:23:36]  And yet the scale barely moves for you, or it moves for a minute and then it creeps right back.
[01:23:41]  It's usually when people assume the problem is discipline, but a lot of the times it can be biology.
[01:23:47]  When your blood sugar isn't stable, your body keeps nudging you to eat, to snack, to store energy instead of burn it.
[01:23:54]  And you can fight that willpower for a while, but usually you wind up failing in the end.

=== Pray, Believe, and Act America First (03:45) ===

[01:25:08]  Uh, let's, Let's see.
[01:25:10]  Our live insider poll shows, do you support the action in Iran?
[01:25:17]  74%.
[01:25:18]  Our community page, which is just taken throughout the day, shows 80% that this is, do you believe this action is America first?
[01:25:29]  There's a lot of people that don't believe this action is America first.
[01:25:34]  And, you know, I think you can be honest about that, and we can honestly disagree.
[01:25:40]  I think that I would urge those people to look at the bigger picture of crinks, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, crink.
[01:25:51]  That is the Axis power.
[01:25:53]  And there's a great story that really, I mean, verifies with facts and figures the monologue I gave you yesterday, where I said, if you're looking at this Iranian thing and you're only looking at Iran, you're missing the bigger vision of what Donald Trump is trying to do.
[01:26:11]  And that involves crink.
[01:26:14]  And there's a great story.
[01:26:16]  It's available in our show prep.
[01:26:18]  You can get that just by going to glennbeck.com.
[01:26:20]  It's free.
[01:26:20]  You'll get it in your email box every day.
[01:26:22]  You get the show prep, all of the news stories that I think that are important that we're going to talk about.
[01:26:26]  Also, you can get the in-depth analysis at glennbeck.com slash torch.
[01:26:32]  Join us now, 147 countries, millions of people all around the world.
[01:26:39]  glennbeck.com slash torch
[01:27:38]  Just going, looking down the list of things that I still have to talk to you about, the foreign service officer that stabbed a bunch of people yesterday.
[01:27:48]  It's a really disturbing story.
[01:27:50]  I haven't talked about it.
[01:27:51]  I'm waiting for one more confirmation on something that kind of changes this story dramatically.
[01:27:59]  But I don't want to give it to you until I have just one more source to verify.
[01:28:05]  but hopefully we'll have that by the end of the hour.
[01:28:09]  Also, this war is, my gosh, it is the, this is why I could never be president.
[01:28:17]  I would never have the guts to do something this bold because I wouldn't know.
[01:28:22]  I mean, it's a really weird thing to be president of the United States.
[01:28:26]  You have to be confident enough, I would say egotistical enough, but better word maybe is confident enough to believe you got it, but also humble enough to go, yeah, but am I sure I've talked to everybody I should.
[01:28:42]  I mean, this is a game-changing development that could go any way.
[01:28:48]  We just should all not play politics with it.

=== Pray for This Dangerous Time (02:48) ===

[01:28:54]  We should just pray for everybody involved, including us.
[01:28:58]  This is a very dangerous time.
[01:29:01]  Pray for wisdom and clarity for everyone involved.
[01:29:07]  You know, world wars and giant wars don't stop, don't start in obvious ways.
[01:29:13]  They always start with somebody making a basic miscalculation.
[01:29:19]  And we should be aware of that and pray that no one miscalculates on this.
[01:29:25]  By the way, just to make it even more fun, let's bring the spiritual into it.
[01:29:29]  Blood moon on Purim.
[01:29:31]  Today is Purim.
[01:29:33]  And Blood Moon on Purim, I guess, means the wicked will be vanquished or something.
[01:29:40]  I just hope we're not the wicked.
[01:29:42]  Anyway, we'll get into all of that here, but I have some really good news, an update on the event that we're doing at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on May 2nd.
[01:29:54]  This is going to be such an epic, epic moment.
[01:29:58]  And, you know, Ellis Island, people came to America and came through Ellis Island because America gives you a chance to be who you really are.
[01:30:09]  It gives you a chance to forget all of the lies of your past, all of the mistakes of your past, all of the things that everybody said.
[01:30:17]  Oh, well, you know, in my family, I will always be to my sisters their younger stinky brother.
[01:30:24]  And that's the way I'm treated because it's my family.
[01:30:26]  And I can never break that with my sisters.
[01:30:29]  I'm always the younger stinky brother, okay?
[01:30:33]  America gives you a chance to be who you want to be, not what society tells you you have to be.
[01:30:42]  And that's why people came here.
[01:30:43]  And on May 2nd, we're going to celebrate that at Ellis Island, but we're giving three people a chance to be who they want to be, to live a dream.
[01:30:53]  Maybe they've always wanted to be a singer, but they never thought they would have the chance.
[01:30:58]  We're not only going to give you that opportunity, we are going to find three singers and then we're going to have you train with the best vocal expert in the world.
[01:31:09]  He has worked with everyone.
[01:31:11]  His name is Roger Love.
[01:31:14]  You may not know him, but believe me, anybody who is a high-level vocalist or a high-level actor, they know his name because he has helped everybody.
[01:31:25]  We're going to get you into a session or two with him to have him work on your voice with you to give you the absolute best shot of knocking it out of the park as you're standing there looking at the Statue of Liberty and you're covered on a global broadcast.

=== Find Your Voice Contest (12:01) ===

[01:31:42]  This happens May 2nd.
[01:31:44]  The last day to sign up is this Friday at glennbeck.com slash contest.
[01:31:51]  We'll give you all the details and I'm going to give you a sneak peek of a couple of things that we've heard.
[01:31:55]  We've heard some really good people with Roger Love here in just a second.
[01:31:59]  First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
[01:32:03]  Our sponsor, this half hour, let me look it up real quick, is Patriot Mobile.
[01:32:11]  Loyalty should run both directions.
[01:32:13]  If you're faithful to a company, you know, month after month, paying your bills, you know, staying through the rate changes, tolerating the occasional drop call, whatever, you'd think your company would at least respect your values.
[01:32:24]  But a lot of corporations don't.
[01:32:26]  And it's not just phone companies.
[01:32:27]  They just don't.
[01:32:29]  They expect, especially with phone companies, they know you're never going to make a change.
[01:32:33]  Nobody likes to change their phone service and nobody thinks it's a big deal.
[01:32:37]  But if you are somebody that doesn't necessarily want to support Planned Parenthood, if you're with Verizon, they take a good portion of their money, which is their choice, and they go and donate it to Planned Parenthood.
[01:32:51]  Well, that's fine for them, but I don't want my money going to Planned Parenthood, so I don't want to do business with them.
[01:32:58]  Who can I trust?
[01:32:59]  Well, there is a phone company out there that is designed just for you.
[01:33:02]  It's called Patriot Mobile.
[01:33:03]  It is the world's only Christian conservative mobile phone company.
[01:33:07]  And they take some of their profits and they put them towards the First Amendment.
[01:33:12]  They put it towards freedom of speech and freedom of education, freedom of religion.
[01:33:18]  They fight for some of the things you fight for every day.
[01:33:21]  So when you're making a call, let that money go to work in other ways that you support.
[01:33:26]  PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.
[01:33:28]  PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot.
[01:33:31]  972Patriot, patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
[01:33:38]  Mr. Roger Love, who has played a really wonderful role in my life for a long time.
[01:33:45]  We met probably 15 years ago.
[01:33:47]  We were introduced through Premier Radio Networks because I have a really weird set of vocal cords that are pretty wussy and I can blow them out at any time.
[01:33:58]  And he is a guy who doesn't say, no, no, whisper.
[01:34:02]  He says, don't whisper.
[01:34:04]  Let's get through this.
[01:34:05]  And I have gone from absolutely not being able to speak to full voice in 15 or 20 minutes with this guy.
[01:34:12]  And he has done it with Elton John when he was having problems and Beyonce and everybody who's anybody.
[01:34:20]  He used to help Rush Limbaugh and he's helped everybody.
[01:34:27]  And he has become a very dear friend.
[01:34:29]  He is one of the nicest guys I know.
[01:34:32]  And we were talking last summer about something else.
[01:34:35]  And I said, you know, Roger, I'm starting something called The Torch.
[01:34:37]  And one of my goals is to just show inspiration, be able to show people making it, living their dreams, conquering things they never thought that they could conquer.
[01:34:52]  And he said, you know, I can help people who stutter.
[01:34:56]  I don't remember how we got into that, but he said, I do lots of things and I can help people stop stuttering.
[01:35:01]  What?
[01:35:02]  And I said, well, why don't we start a little documentary series, run about a half hour called Find Your Voice.
[01:35:08]  And when we find somebody who you can help find themselves and walk into their real voice and change their lives, let's do that.
[01:35:18]  And so the first Find Your Voice on torch at glenbeck.com is about a guy in Tampa who, bless his heart, man, has stuttered his whole life and he had a hard time finding friends, love life, everything else.
[01:35:35]  And working with Roger two days and then doing a lot of work on his own, his life changed.
[01:35:41]  And it was so cool to watch because you could see happiness and joy in his eyes by the time it was over.
[01:35:50]  He had a totally different view of life.
[01:35:51]  It was so cool.
[01:35:52]  You can see that mini doc at glennbeck.com slash torch.
[01:35:55]  It's called find your voice.
[01:35:56]  Roger joins me now.
[01:35:58]  Hello, Roger.
[01:36:00]  Good morning.
[01:36:01]  You look very handsome today.
[01:36:03]  Oh, thank you very much.
[01:36:05]  And you look, well, like it's early in the, in the West Coast.
[01:36:08]  I mean, thanks for putting on pajamas.
[01:36:10]  No, I'm kidding.
[01:36:12]  So, Roger, you, you said to me when I called you up and I said, I have something that I'd love to do.
[01:36:22]  I'd love to find somebody who is not a professional singer, but has always wanted to sing, no matter what their age.
[01:36:30]  And I need three singers for this major event on May 2nd at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
[01:36:42]  And I said, can you, if we find some people, can you help them get there and knock it out of the park?
[01:36:48]  And you were, you're so amazing.
[01:36:51]  You're like, absolutely, that's that.
[01:36:53]  We can do that with my eyes closed.
[01:36:56]  Roger, at first, the contestants started coming in slowly and I was a little worried.
[01:37:02]  I don't know if you've seen the last batch that's come in over the last few days, but there are, I mean, from kids who are 15 years old to this, I don't even know how old she is, but mom of four, you know, mom that is also a, you know, started her own business and everything else, not a professional singer, to somebody who has done some professional singing, all the whole range.
[01:37:30]  And Roger, you are going to be able to, I mean, you're going to, you're going to change somebody's life.
[01:37:36]  When they're finished with you and they're singing there, I think it's going to be game-changing for them.
[01:37:41]  Have you seen some of them?
[01:37:43]  Absolutely.
[01:37:44]  The submissions are so, they're so genuine.
[01:37:48]  These are people that have found their voice and they're all ages.
[01:37:58]  The 14, 15-year-old, so authentic, so passionate about singing.
[01:38:04]  The mother of four who started her business, like you said, beautiful voice.
[01:38:09]  Yeah, I'm going to tweak it, but the bottom line is that these are people that love to sing and have already realized the importance of voice in their life.
[01:38:16]  This is an amazing opportunity.
[01:38:18]  What we are missing is we haven't had enough submissions of men.
[01:38:24]  So look, as a voice coach, I realize more women sing than men.
[01:38:28]  I don't know why that is.
[01:38:30]  Women are more prone to learning, but I really want to make sure that we have enough men.
[01:38:38]  We need a man who wants to showcase his voice too.
[01:38:43]  So we could definitely use more submissions of men.
[01:38:46]  Again, you don't have to be the most incredible singer on the block.
[01:38:51]  You just have to have a voice and a passion and I'll tweak it.
[01:38:56]  You have to love to sing.
[01:38:57]  You have to want to be part of something that's historic.
[01:39:00]  You know, one of the things that I have found interesting is all of the submissions that I have seen so far.
[01:39:08]  And it's weird.
[01:39:09]  Most of them are connecting with the song in French.
[01:39:12]  So they must, these people, I'd have to know, because they sing it so well, they must have spoken French to begin with.
[01:39:20]  I don't know.
[01:39:21]  But they all say, the minute I heard this song, it connected with me so deeply that it's just, it's part of me.
[01:39:30]  Almost all of them are saying something like that.
[01:39:34]  And that's how you know it's really going to be good because it's not just somebody just singing a song.
[01:39:39]  It is going to be people who are connected deeply to the message.
[01:39:44]  I mean, I would have a hard time singing it, not just bursting out in tears standing in front of the Statue of Liberty singing some of these things, you know?
[01:39:50]  First time I heard the songs, the first time I heard the song, so beautiful, I was moved.
[01:39:56]  I think we're getting more people who speak French because people don't always like to compete and they have special skill sets.
[01:40:04]  So they're hoping that their ability to speak French moves them up the ladder.
[01:40:09]  But we're, yes, looking for someone that speaks French, but not just that.
[01:40:14]  We're really looking for someone who has a passion to sing and wants to showcase it.
[01:40:19]  It's really weird because the ones that I think, the songs that I thought would be the easiest is the song that is more contemporary.
[01:40:28]  You know, they came for the hope.
[01:40:30]  And it's very contemporary, almost a, almost a, in some ways, almost a Phineas kind of sound.
[01:40:37]  And it's weird because that's the one, especially with men, we're not getting as many submissions.
[01:40:45]  Sarah, do you have a little bit of that song?
[01:40:48]  Could you play a little bit of that?
[01:40:49]  Look for it real quick.
[01:40:50]  And they came for the hope.
[01:40:53]  And you can hear all of the songs and then record them.
[01:40:58]  Please don't write to us and say, hey, I know somebody.
[01:41:01]  Tell them.
[01:41:02]  This is a merit-based contest.
[01:41:04]  If they can't get on and do it themselves, then, you know, I can't help you.
[01:41:10]  They got to put in the effort and record the song.
[01:41:13]  But here's a bit of it.
[01:41:23]  When once you build is truly your own, and the past can finally be overthrown.
[01:41:30]  They stayed within.
[01:41:31]  So Roger, what exactly are we looking for in a man?
[01:41:35]  Is there anything that, you know, what are we looking for?
[01:41:41]  We're looking for a man that's in our family because we want to stay within.
[01:41:47]  We want to support the people that are in our community.
[01:41:51]  And the female songs are a little bit harder than the male songs.
[01:41:57]  So don't shy away if you don't think that you have the greatest range in the world.
[01:42:04]  I just say, submit yourself.
[01:42:06]  What do you have to lose other than the opportunity to be a part of a historic event?
[01:42:13]  You'll have a video at the end that your grandkids will watch.
[01:42:17]  You know, 50 years from now, your grandkids will watch and go, wow, you did that?
[01:42:23]  I mean, nobody gets this opportunity.
[01:42:25]  Believe me, I know because I've been working with the Parks Department.
[01:42:28]  The rules of what you can and cannot do on that island, those two islands, is phenomenal.
[01:42:35]  So believe me, you'll have an opportunity nobody else has.
[01:42:40]  Roger, can we make a find your voice based on this too when we get the contestants?
[01:42:44]  We're going to start voting next week.
[01:42:47]  The cutoff is this Friday.
[01:42:49]  Can we make a find your voice with you working with them?
[01:42:52]  And are you coming to New York with us?
[01:42:55]  I'm going to be there, of course.
[01:42:56]  Oh, good, I want to be there.
[01:43:00]  I also want to give a shout out to the thousands of comments we've already gotten from people that have seen the documentary.
[01:43:07]  And they're so loving.
[01:43:08]  People are saying they're either crying happy tears all the way through it or they're laughing while they're crying happy tears all the way through it.
[01:43:17]  So thanks to your family, to your community for embracing the documentary, understanding that we're just trying to help people find their voice and use it to make a better life.
[01:43:28]  Real quick, I've only got about 30 seconds.
[01:43:29]  Did you get the note that somebody said, I have a, I think their child had cerebral palsy and they wanted to talk to you about helping them.
[01:43:40]  And I just, I read this and I thought, oh my gosh, that would be so great if we could help.

=== Helping Families Find Their Voice (02:45) ===

[01:43:44]  Did you get that note?
[01:43:45]  I did that.
[01:43:46]  I don't remember if it was cerebral palsy, but some challenge.
[01:43:50]  And I totally responded saying, I'm here for you.
[01:43:54]  Okay, good.
[01:43:54]  Well, if you hear back, let me know because I'd love to hear the progress on that.
[01:43:57]  Maybe we can make that a find your voice as well.
[01:43:59]  Roger love, thank you so much.
[01:44:01]  You can find the documentary, find your voice at glennbeck.com slash torch.
[01:44:08]  Also, this contest, again, the deadline is Friday.
[01:44:13]  And so you have to go to glenbeck.com slash contest.
[01:44:17]  You'll find the music, the lyrics, how to apply.
[01:44:20]  Please don't tell us about somebody.
[01:44:23]  Tell them about the contest.
[01:44:25]  They've got to actually submit and apply for it themselves.
[01:44:29]  So, Roger, thank you.
[01:44:31]  We'll talk next week as we start going and having the audience vote for who's going to be there.
[01:44:36]  God bless you.
[01:44:37]  See you soon.
[01:44:38]  You got it.
[01:44:39]  All right.
[01:44:39]  Let me tell you about My Patriot Supply.
[01:44:41]  If your grocery store was closed for a week, you know, not forever, just a week, would your household notice?
[01:44:47]  Most of us live on a kind of just-in-time system.
[01:44:51]  You know, we don't have food.
[01:44:53]  We plan to get food.
[01:44:54]  We have a list on the fridge and, you know, we have a store that's five minutes away.
[01:44:57]  Hey, on your way home, pick this up.

[01:45:47]  10 seconds station ID.
[01:46:02]  So, uh, earlier today, as I was talking with the insiders, um, uh, I had to, while I'm doing this today, I also have to monitor something that is happening.
[01:46:13]  Um, as we're recording the string section for this event, um, It's going to be a, I think it's a 57-piece orchestra, and the strings were being recorded over in Prague today during the show.
[01:46:27]  The only time we could get it done was during the show.

=== Exposing the Islamic Blueprint (15:35) ===

[01:46:30]  And so I've been kind of monitoring back and forth and listening to that.
[01:46:35]  Usually I'm, you know, that's all I'm doing is just paying attention to that.
[01:46:38]  But luckily, I have a great staff that has been working on that since 3 o'clock this morning.
[01:46:43]  And this music is just going to be epic, just epic.
[01:46:48]  And this event is going to be remarkable.
[01:46:53]  But before we get to that, on March 19th, we are doing a show, and I'll explain this to you next because this one is mark it down on your calendar important.
[01:47:08]  And I think it's actually, we've been talking about it.
[01:47:10]  I think it's important enough to gather friends, like-minded friends around because you need to understand, it's called exposing the Islamic Blueprint for Conquering the West.
[01:47:22]  And there is a plan of conquering the West, and it is well underway.
[01:47:28]  Did you hear Jonathan Turley say last hour?
[01:47:30]  He thinks that the EU is going to implode in epic fashion.
[01:47:37]  Now, I don't know what made him say that.
[01:47:39]  We ran out of time for me to have a follow-up question on that, but that's quite a statement.
[01:47:44]  And I believe that epic fashion is because the barbarians are in the gates, and there is a plan, and it is happening here in America faster than people realize.
[01:47:57]  And today is Election Day in Texas.
[01:48:00]  You have a chance to vote and say, I want this on the ballot.
[01:48:04]  Banning of Sharia law in Texas.
[01:48:06]  That happens today.
[01:48:07]  If you haven't voted in Texas, go out and vote today.
[01:48:11]  Ban Sharia law in Texas.
[01:48:13]  But this special is coming on March 19th.
[01:48:17]  I'll tell you about it and show you some of the things we found in just a second.
[01:48:21]  First, the International Fellowship, what has been called Operation Epic Fury by the United States and Operation Lions Roar by the Israeli government, has triggered a retaliatory missile and drone attack all over the Middle East.
[01:48:37]  Sirens are sounding.
[01:48:39]  I don't know if you saw last night, I was watching Fox News and whoever the guy is that is there on top of one of the buildings, every time he's there, he's like, look at the number of alerts that I have on my phone and the alarm, no matter when he's on, it always seems sirens go off.
[01:48:55]  And I think yesterday, people in Tel Aviv were in the shelter, in and out of the shelter, like 37 times.
[01:49:01]  I mean, it's bad.
[01:49:02]  It is really bad.
[01:49:03]  The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they don't wait for a crisis.
[01:49:08]  They prepare for it.
[01:49:09]  They have mobile bomb shelters that are ready for deployment.
[01:49:13]  They have hospitals that are being supported for rapid emergency transition, food packages, emergency supplies.
[01:49:19]  You can be a part of helping and being a peacemaker and helping people when they're really in need.
[01:49:25]  Go to ifcj.org, ifcj.org.
[01:49:29]  Stand with the most vulnerable or call 888-488-IFCJ.
[01:49:34]  Don't miss our first big live torch special on Islam.
[01:49:38]  Get it today at glenbeck.com slash torch.
[01:49:41]  up now hey just a note This is the second time Glenbeck.com slash Torch has come under a cyber attack.
[01:50:06]  We're getting a DDOS.
[01:50:07]  This happened yesterday.
[01:50:09]  It also happened a couple of weeks ago when we had the Prince of Iran on.
[01:50:16]  His father was the Shah of Iran.
[01:50:18]  We think it is Iranian centered.
[01:50:22]  I don't know where it is coming from.
[01:50:26]  We're hiring a new security team just for the DDoS attacks.
[01:50:30]  None of your information or anything is at stake on this.
[01:50:33]  It is just shutting us down so people can't connect online to us.
[01:50:39]  Somebody's trying to shut our voice down.
[01:50:43]  And we just appreciate if you happen to be an insider and a torch member.
[01:50:46]  We thank you for putting up with those DDOS when you try to sign on and you can't connect to the server.
[01:50:54]  That is because somebody, it's a very large operation.
[01:50:58]  Our people believe that it is probably nation state directed.
[01:51:04]  I can't imagine who that is.
[01:51:06]  I personally wonder if it's nation state.
[01:51:12]  I could see other people that would really like to shut us down that have a lot of money on this.
[01:51:16]  But thank you for subscribing and thanks for having patience through all this.
[01:51:20]  We will get to the bottom of it if we can.
[01:51:23]  It may be something that only the government can deal with.
[01:51:26]  But thank you for joining us and being part of the community and the family at Glenbeck.com slash torch.
[01:51:33]  I want to talk to you a little bit about this special that we're doing on March 19th.
[01:51:37]  This is something, please put this down on your calendar.
[01:51:39]  This is so important.
[01:51:41]  Our special, you know, I used to do these Wednesday night specials and we would do them once a week.
[01:51:46]  And a couple of things graded on me.
[01:51:49]  One, sometimes there would be news and we'd have to wait a week to get you the information when really you needed the information right away.
[01:51:59]  The other was a week is not enough time to do something of real deep, deep work and understanding and exposing.
[01:52:10]  So when I moved to the torch, one of the things that I wanted to do was my old contract required me to do one show a week.
[01:52:19]  And I want to do them when we're ready.
[01:52:22]  And so I have guaranteed that there will be at least four documentaries that we will be doing these deep dives into different topics.
[01:52:29]  And the first one is coming on March 19th.
[01:52:32]  And it's exposing the Islamic Blueprint for the Conquering of the West.
[01:52:38]  We have hired a couple of research teams to help us, along with my research team.
[01:52:44]  And we have been digging now for months and finding things.
[01:52:49]  I want to play just some of the voices that are here in our own country and around the West that are telling you what they're doing, telling you what is in store for us if we don't wake up.
[01:53:05]  So when you see the special, you will then recognize, okay, all right, those are the people that are doing it, but here's the actual blueprint.
[01:53:14]  This is what they're doing.
[01:53:15]  This is not just, you know, a crazy guy saying something.
[01:53:18]  So let me play a couple of voices here.
[01:53:23]  Sarah, if you would go to cut number seven, these are three different professors from Virginia public universities, Virginia, talking about taking down the U.S. through violence.
[01:53:39]  Listen.
[01:53:40]  In the moment that you grab the gun, like Van Mon says, you're no longer oppressed.
[01:53:47]  You're now free.
[01:53:49]  How do we teach that in the class?
[01:53:51]  Just to say that in the class, my students' heads explode, right?
[01:53:57]  To tell them about violence, you know, as a revolutionary tool, as sometimes revolutionary essential.
[01:54:07]  We actually need to crash the U.S. settler state, which has incredible reverberations and literally strangles the tentacles that are reaching into the Israeli state.
[01:54:19]  So we must stand with the armed resistance and work right now to end this impunity by disrupting the flow of weapons to Zionists.
[01:54:26]  Because trust, the armed resistance will defeat Zionism if it was open battlefield.
[01:54:32]  Yeah, I've been humbled since October 7th, particularly being in community with folks, particularly when you're someone who has been doing this work.
[01:54:40]  Why stop?
[01:54:41]  This is a profound moment for us, right?
[01:54:43]  And we need to dig in and go harder.
[01:54:46]  I think putting our bodies on the line sometimes to protect those who are more vulnerable, right?
[01:54:52]  To eat tear gas when we should be doing that and not students.
[01:54:58]  I think that's essential.
[01:55:02]  Notice what they all have in common.
[01:55:06]  They all have American accents.
[01:55:08]  These are all Americans.
[01:55:11]  And I want to bring Jason in because Jason is working on, you know, whittling down.
[01:55:18]  I'll give an idea.
[01:55:19]  And it's just usually so huge that we have to cut it by about nine tenths.
[01:55:26]  And I don't know if we get to in this special, are we going to be able to get to the fact that Islam and socialist Marxists are the key.
[01:55:39]  They always, this is what happened in Iran in 1979.
[01:55:42]  They always bind together.
[01:55:46]  And Islamists have really adopted this Marxist philosophy at the beginning.
[01:55:54]  Then they go all Sharia.
[01:55:56]  And what happened in Iran was about 30,000 Marxists were killed.
[01:56:02]  After the revolution was over, they were done with them and they killed them.
[01:56:05]  Useful idiots.
[01:56:07]  But that's what's happening here.
[01:56:08]  It's not just the Islamists.
[01:56:11]  It is also the Marxists here.
[01:56:14]  And that was one group of just the Marxists.
[01:56:17]  Do we cover that at all, Jason, in this?
[01:56:20]  Did we get a chance to cover it?
[01:56:21]  Do we cover it?
[01:56:23]  Not only do we cover it, we actually whittle it down very specifically to certain administrations and show where it was happening in certain administrations, but we even go beyond the Red-Green Alliance.
[01:56:34]  We also talk about, we have intercepted foreign intelligence communications that talk about how certain Islamist groups were reaching out directly to, I don't want to give away too much, other groups within the United States, not particularly left-wing, specifically to try to get them and enlist them in their cause.
[01:56:57]  This is Glenn.
[01:56:57]  This has been going on since the early 90s, at least.
[01:57:01]  At least.
[01:57:02]  I know.
[01:57:02]  I know.
[01:57:03]  Well, they came up with this plan in the 70s after it failed the first time.
[01:57:07]  The Marxists knew they had to retool everything, and they started developing this in the 1970s.
[01:57:13]  So you know, there's nothing I hate more than when somebody says, ah, there's something really going on.
[01:57:19]  You know, I saw the president stabbing people at night in the hallways of the White House.
[01:57:25]  I didn't say anything, but my new book is out and it's in my new book.
[01:57:28]  I hate that.
[01:57:29]  I hate that.
[01:57:31]  So you know, we have already informed the White House and other agencies of things that we have found in this special.
[01:57:39]  And because we're not waiting to make sure that the good guys know what we have found, they are already informed.
[01:57:48]  We just want to put it together in a cogent package for you to be able to share it with your friends because like it or not, gang, we are in World War III.
[01:57:58]  We are.
[01:57:59]  And I really hope, because I believe, ah, what the hell.
[01:58:07]  I really believe that the 12vers in particular, those who are running Iran, and many of the really die-hard Islamists are going to be used as the army of the Antichrist.
[01:58:27]  I really believe that.
[01:58:28]  I could be wrong, obviously, and everybody can disagree with me, but I think the tools and the people that would be needed for an end of days style war are on the table.
[01:58:46]  Whether that means it's going to happen that way or not, the better case scenario is we're going to be fighting World War III because this is, as you will see in this special here in a couple of weeks, this is coordinated.
[01:59:02]  You know, how dare you say replacement theory?
[01:59:05]  How dare you say it's an invasion?
[01:59:07]  They're saying it.
[01:59:09]  They're saying it.
[01:59:11]  And if you want to just go along with your own demise and have your children wearing burqas or having their heads cut off because they won't, just keep going down the road you're going.
[01:59:24]  Just pay no attention to it.
[01:59:27]  But I'm telling you, we are in the beginning of World War III or the end of days.
[01:59:35]  But it doesn't have to be this way if we wake up and turn it around.
[01:59:41]  Europe is not going to be able to do it.
[01:59:43]  It's too late for them.
[01:59:44]  Did you notice in all of the backing of, you know, they all said, hey, we're, you know, we agree with the United States and, you know, but they never really backed this with Iran.
[01:59:56]  That's because they have to placate their own population.
[02:00:00]  They know they have an Islamist problem in their own nations.
[02:00:04]  You know, Germany tried to, you know, build a bigger army.
[02:00:10]  They're worried about building a bigger army because they've got nothing but young men from foreign countries and they don't want to arm those young men.
[02:00:20]  That's a problem, gang.
[02:00:22]  That's a real problem.
[02:00:25]  And it is a well-thought-out plan.
[02:00:28]  So mark this down on your calendar because you're going to get the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth on March 19th, exposing the Islamic blueprint for the conquering of the West.
[02:00:41]  You will get that on that night.
[02:00:44]  A bonus is when the special ends, we're actually not going to end.
[02:00:49]  We're going to keep Jason.
[02:00:51]  One of our researchers, Ryan Morrow, who's an expert on extremism.
[02:00:55]  He's fantastic.
[02:00:56]  And Glenn, and our insiders will be able to interact and ask questions live with Glenn and the team after.
[02:01:03]  So you're going to want to sign up for that.
[02:01:04]  Yeah, I would like to see, and I know I'm piling stuff on you, Ricky and the staff, but I would like to see if we can even go an hour early before the special and just play the things like I just played so people understand it's already here and they're not one-offs.
[02:01:22]  It's, I mean, you were on the email channel.
[02:01:24]  I don't even think I sent you everything.
[02:01:26]  I think I sent you about a third of what I sent to Bowie and Jason.
[02:01:31]  But I mean, I had to finally just say stop because I could have done a thousand more of those.
[02:01:39]  When you start going down that rabbit hole and you're looking, what are people actually saying in the United States?
[02:01:44]  Let me give you another one.
[02:01:45]  Here's a dearborn resident asked by Nick Shirley, would you, Muslim, would you support America or Iraq?
[02:01:55]  This was the question at the time, or Iraq if there was another a war.
[02:01:59]  Listen to this.
[02:02:00]  Now you have all these Islam men yelling all Akbar.
[02:02:04]  I have a question for you guys.

=== Would You Defend America? (02:02) ===

[02:02:05]  If America were to get in a war with someone with a country like Iraq, who would you guys defend?
[02:02:09]  America or Iraq?
[02:02:12]  We won't get a war.
[02:02:13]  That's not permissible for us.
[02:02:14]  But at the same time, who would you defend?
[02:02:18]  We would support our brothers in Iraq.
[02:02:20]  That's the only way.
[02:02:21]  So you wouldn't defend America.
[02:02:22]  We would not defend America.
[02:02:23]  But you're American.
[02:02:24]  But at the same time, listen, at the same time, America is our country.
[02:02:28]  We were born here.
[02:02:29]  But in our Islamic book, we're not allowed to fight with people that are against our religion.
[02:02:34]  So we just take up the jail time.
[02:02:37]  So you would not go to America.
[02:02:39]  I would go to jail instead of fighting for America.
[02:02:43]  Very good answer.
[02:02:45]  Very good answer.
[02:02:46]  Not the answer that everybody was giving.
[02:02:49]  That was more of a Muhammad Ali or Cassius Clay answer.
[02:02:52]  I'll go to jail because it's against my religion.
[02:02:55]  Okay, that is totally cool.
[02:02:58]  You don't want to fight?
[02:02:59]  That's totally cool.
[02:03:00]  But don't fight against your country.
[02:03:02]  That's the best answer I could find because many of them are saying, and you're seeing it now.
[02:03:11]  I mean, I'd really like to, do we have any verification of that?
[02:03:16]  Other?
[02:03:17]  I can tell you, Glenn's talking about the foreign service officer who went on a stabbing rampage in D.C. on Sunday, a day after the attacks.
[02:03:28]  A lot of people wondered at the time, is this tied to Iran?
[02:03:31]  Is this similar to what happened in Austin with that shooter?
[02:03:35]  We don't have confirmation that it is.
[02:03:37]  I do have a source in the State Department who says a lot of people who are hired in the Foreign Service department for the state, they're wackos.
[02:03:49]  They're left-leaning typically.
[02:03:52]  Not left-leaning.
[02:03:53]  Not left.
[02:03:54]  There's left-leaning.
[02:03:54]  I know a lot of good people that are left-leaning.
[02:03:57]  There are people that are certifiable.
[02:04:00]  And I think this guy might be one of them.
[02:04:02]  He has an online footprint that we're looking into to verify just how left-wing he was.

=== Verifying Glenn Beck's Footprint (02:00) ===

[02:04:08]  Okay.
[02:04:08]  Hopefully we will have confirmation of that because I've seen the footprint and the guy.
[02:04:13]  There is no way.
[02:04:14]  This guy should have had a citizenship test.
[02:04:16]  Okay.
[02:04:16]  There's no way this guy.
[02:04:18]  And this again is not an Islamist.
[02:04:22]  This is just a guy who seems to be very, very left.
[02:04:26]  And you're not going to hear that from the media, but you need to hear it.

=== President Meets Germany on Iran (00:49) ===

[02:06:09]  We don't need to agree on everything.
[02:06:11]  Just enough to stand shoulder to shoulder.
[02:06:14]  Glenn Beck is back in a minute.
[02:06:34]  So much I just still didn't get a chance to talk about.
[02:06:37]  President is meeting with Germany about Iran now in the White House.
[02:06:42]  Also, Christy Noam was up on Capitol Hill talking about the funding for the Coast Guard and DHS.
[02:06:47]  Democrats, you have to do that.
[02:06:49]  And we're going to give you an update on the SAVE Act.
[02:06:52]  We'll do that on tomorrow's broadcast.
[02:06:54]  We'll see you then.
[02:06:55]  Thank you so much for listening.
[02:06:56]  May God save the Republic.
