Glenn Beck, Sen. Mike Lee, and Bill O'Reilly dissect Iran's alleged drone threats to California and the mysterious theft of military drones from Fort Campbell. They debate the SAVE Act's legislative hurdles, expose LA corruption schemes costing millions, and analyze a potential U.S.-China oil deal involving Iran. The trio warns of a shifting global axis, predicts regime changes in Cuba and Venezuela, and critiques European allies while promoting an exposé on Islamic expansionism and its perceived blueprint for Western destruction.

Well, hello, America.
Welcome.
It's Wednesday, which means everything is downhill from here.
And that has a different kind of meaning when you look at the news of the day, especially the war headlines.
Yeah, it looks like it's all downhill from here.
So we're going to get into that here in just a second.
I want to give you some meaning behind all of the headlines because there's a lot going on with the war, the corruption that is happening in our country.
Mike Lee is joining us here.
I want to know which senators just don't want this thing to build, just don't want, you know, the START Act to pass.
I doubt he's going to give me names because he's too nice for that, but I'm going to do everything I can to squeeze them out of him because I want names.
I want to know who is standing against this besides Thune and Corny.
Who's standing against it?
All right, we'll get into that here in a second.
First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
Spring is here.
Summer's right around the corner.
And for a lot of people, this time of the year is when you start looking at the yard and thinking about everything you want to do out there.
Maybe it's a garden that you've been planning.
Maybe it's cleaning up the flower beds, trimming the hedges, or finally getting the yard back into shape after a long, winter.
There's something deeply satisfying about that kind of work, being outside, using your hands, you know, seeing real progress by the end of the day.
But maybe for you, the problem isn't motivation.
Maybe it's pain.
Maybe your back, your knees, your shoulders, they start objecting after, you know, just a few minutes or even a half an hour before the work is done.
That's one reason why so many people have decided to try Relief Factor.
It was designed to help reduce everyday joint and muscle discomfort so you can actually stay active and do the things you really enjoy.
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more.
I'm one of them.
Begin your three-week quick start and see what Relief Factor can do for you.
Call 800 for Relief, 800, the number four relief.
It's relieffactor.com.
Oh my.
I got to just tell you just on a side note before we start.
I just looked up into the monitor and I saw myself and you have no idea what a horrible thing is that you have to look at yourself.
I mean, you're looking at me, so you know, but imagine you having to look at you looking like me every day.
It's not a, it's not a play.
Every day I look up at the monitor and I'm like, oh my gosh, woo.
So you might, this might be talking you out of joining Torch because you do get the visuals along with it, which doesn't necessarily make this show all that much better.
All right.
Let me tell you about the headlines today, what's going on.
The FBI now has quietly warned that Iran has been exploring the possibility of launching drones from a vessel positioned off the California coast.
Well, good news.
We have the Coast Guard.
Oh, no, the Democrats have defunded DHS.
So good luck with that one, Coast Guard.
Good luck with that one, California.
This is not theoretical warfare.
This is the modern battlefield, asymmetric, deniable, and designed to bypass the strongest military on earth.
At the same time, Iranian officials are promising what they call a painful response.
And their commanders are warning civilians in parts of the Middle East to stay away from banks and economic centers.
They are openly signaling that financial infrastructure is going to be treated now as a battlefield.
Also, the cyber attacks have already begun.
A group tied to Tehran has reportedly struck a major American medical company, knocking the internal systems offline and seizing massive data sets.
When banks and hospitals and shipping lanes and energy supplies all become targets, you're no longer talking about a traditional war.
This is the war of the future.
You're looking at a systems war.
And this is the kind of war that aims to destabilize the entire society rather than defeating an army.
Then, let's throw in the Strait of Hormuz, the latest on that.
Roughly one-fifth of the world's oil supply now comes through that 20-mile corridor of water every single day, a fifth, 20% of everything.
For decades, it has been the most sensitive choke point in global trade.
I mean, we have been guarding that since World War II.
Saudi Arabia yesterday began warning of catastrophic consequences if shipping disruption continues.
Iran is already threatening that oil could reach $200 a barrel if the conflict escalates.
Those numbers are not abstract.
They're not made up.
They translate into a price of diesel that moves the food across our country.
They translate into airline tickets and heating bills and the cost of every product that relies on transportation.
This is now something that we are in, whether you are for it or against.
This cannot go on.
Energy shocks are the fastest ways to push the global economy into recession.
And at $200 a barrel, you're talking about complete global upheaval, upheaval.
You're looking at a possible reset of the economy and of the U.S. dollar and every other currency on earth.
Remember, I warned back in 2017-ish.
I said the only things that really are left are assassinations and war.
And we've had our assassinations and we've had our assassination attempts and we're not done with that, I fear.
But we are now in war.
Meanwhile, vessel tracking shows that while Iran is threatening to cut off the oil to the west, millions of barrels are continuing to flow to China through the same waters.
The diesel, that matters because it reveals the geopolitical fault lines forming beneath the conflict.
Energy supply is a strategic weapon, and nations are positioning themselves accordingly.
And the United States and the G7 are now discussing naval escorts for shipping in the Persian Gulf.
This is a step that begins to resemble the convoy system that were used during the world wars.
We're in a different world, gang.
When the global economy requires warships to protect commercial shipping lanes, it tells you how fragile the situation actually is.
Now, Donald Trump is still saying that we're going to make short order of this.
He has now said that anybody who is an Iranian or living on the coastline of Iran, you should get out of there as soon as possible, which means we're just going to strafe that whole area.
Now, inside of Iran, there are signs of real instability as well.
Reports suggest the Revolutionary Guard may be pressuring clerics to install Khomeini as the next supreme leader while he remains absent from public views, view after his reported injuries.
Now, I love this because remember we told you yesterday that he was, they put up a cardboard cutout of him.
We found out, we said yesterday, this might be an AI, but it looked really, really good.
And I could believe this too, but that they put this cardboard cutout at an IRGC rally where he was supposed to be because they said he couldn't attend because he had some injuries, but nothing to worry about.
Well, I don't know about that.
So it was just a cardboard cutout.
It was not real, turns out.
However, he didn't show up for that because of injuries.
Now, they said he just has a little boo-boo on his leg.
I think it's The Guardian is reporting today that he is in a coma and has lost his leg after being seriously injured in airstrikes.
I would suggest if you're up for that role, you don't attend any meetings.
You know, you might want to stay deep, deep, deep underground.
But we don't know what the truth is on that yet.
Now, there's one other thing that you need to know as we tie all of this stuff together to give you a real feel and sense of what's happening in the world.
Between November 21st and November 24th of last year, we are just finding out now that somebody walked into the one of the most famous military installations in the United States, Fort Campbell, that's the home of the 101st airborne, and they walked out with four military drones.
Now, I don't know who actually goes in and steals from the 101st airborne, but a couple of guys did.
By the 24th, they were seen.
The last time they were seen was the 21st.
By the 24th, they were all gone.
We have security footage that shows the two suspects.
Can we bring up there?
There they are.
There they are.
Two guys.
And they seem to be carrying guns.
They're wearing hoodies, balaclavas, or baklavas, which I think I would rather be wearing baklava all over my face myself, but whatever.
And they're wearing gloves and they appear to be carrying rifles.
Now, who goes in to the 101st airborne carrying a rifle?
Kind of a death sentence.
How did they get in?
How did they get out with four drones?
We're not talking about the kind of drones, you know, that you buy, you know, at Best Buy.
These drones are worth up to $100,000, $125,000.
And the criminal division, the criminal investigation division of the Army has now just offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of these thieves.
A 5,000?
That's all we're doing?
A 5,000?
Let me tell you why this is so important and worth maybe more than $5,000 for information.
These are not hobby drones, okay?
These are called, I think, Skydoo or Skydo X-10D autonomous reconnaissance drones.
These are built specifically for government use.
They're equipped with advanced cameras, thermal sensors, AI navigation systems.
They are designed for surveillance and battlefield reconnaissance.
So what you're seeing over and around, how we're tracking people, how we're knowing where everybody is, is because we're using these drones.
Again, these are different.
What they are capable of and what the threat might imply is really what you need to pay attention to.
Here's the first concern.
These systems are AI-assisted autonomous drones.
They're designed to fly in environments where GPS doesn't work, okay, or where there's a geofencing.
They can go through that.
They navigate obstacles, map terrain.
They conduct surveillance without constant human control.
That means anybody who understands this system can use them to map infrastructure, energy facilities, ports, public venues.
Beginning to understand the first concern.
Here's the second one.
These drones contain military sensors and payload modules, thermal cameras, high-resolution imaging systems.
This is the equipment that actually locates people and vehicles can track them and lock onto targets.
They can track heat signatures through buildings and through darkness.
This technology alone, because it's military, just the technology, has huge value on the black market.
Drones Targeting Our Homeland00:02:12
And the people who buy that are not hobbyists.
They're not the ones who are like, I'm going to fly my drone over my neighbor's house.
Here's the third concern.
Who walks into the 101st airborne armed?
Okay, most thieves stealing electronics don't walk into a military building.
Period.
Hard stop.
If you're stealing stuff from the military, you better know what you're stealing and where you're going.
How is that happening?
How'd you get the information into what is happening in this military installation?
And the third part of this is you don't walk in with rifles because if you're walking in dressed like they're dressed with a rifle, you're going to get shot if you're caught.
So this means these are a different kind of thief.
Is that possibly drug cartels?
Is that possibly somebody who is selling these who has just bought a lot of property near one of our military bases?
Did I mention that these can drop bombs as well?
Now, here's the fourth concern, timing.
Because the theft occurred during a period when U.S. intelligence agencies were warning about the possibility of Iranian-linked actors trying to attempt drone strikes here in the United States.
Iran's leadership has already made public threats, blah, blah, blah.
And they're talking about our own homeland.
And they're talking about, what did I just say?
Banks, economic infrastructure, energy facilities.
These drones are the kind of drones that can target those kinds of targets, make it very easy.
And they have been warning of this several times just in the past year.
The Changing Nature of Warfare00:06:33
Now, I want you to hear something really clearly.
The Army says there's no confirmed link between this threat and any foreign actor.
None.
Okay.
All right.
I believe we don't have any information.
I'll take that.
But does that make it better?
Let me tell you why in 60 seconds.
NMLS 182334, NMLS ConsumerAccess.org.
APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
Okay, you know what most people don't realize about high interest debt is not just that it's super expensive.
It's slow.
It slows everything down.
The plans you have, the goals you've set, even the simple things that you'd like to do with your money slows down.
A big chunk of your money every month is going towards high interest credit cards.
And it can feel like you're really running hard every day and you're staying in the same place.
I know.
Everybody's experiencing this right now.
American Financing will help you look at your mortgage and see whether you can use your home's equity to pay off some of this high interest debt and roll it into one lower monthly payment.
The goal is really simple.
Less money going to interest, more room in your budget.
And if you've been trying to dig out from a mountain of credit card debt, it might be worth having a conversation with the salaried non-commissioned mortgage consultants at American Financing.
They can walk you through your options.
They can see whether a refi or just reorganization will put you back in control of your money again instead of the other way around.
There are no upfront fees.
You can find out if you're qualified right now.
Just call American Financing at 800-906-2440.

10 seconds, station ID.
It is Wednesday, is it?
Oh, it's Thursday?
Ricky just said you've misinformed everybody it's Wednesday.
Oh my gosh, it's Thursday.
Oh, that makes me so happy.
Big fact check coming.
Oh, that is great.
I stand corrected.
I told you I'd lead with my mistakes.
It's Thursday.
Thank God.
You know, it's nothing worse than thinking it's Thursday and it's actually Wednesday, and nothing better than thinking it's Wednesday and it's actually Thursday.
Well, yes, you thinking that it's Thursday when it's actually Friday.
That's actually better.
But anyway, okay.
So let me tell you, I told you earlier this week, what is AI?
How does AI work?
The way AI works is it just looks for patterns.
Intelligence, artificial or actual intelligence, is all about pattern recognition.
So let's look at the pattern of this.
This is why people are really concerned: the pattern.
Ask questions on the pattern.
How did the individuals enter the military base and a building on the base and remove four big drone systems without immediate detection?
There's dot number one that's kind of glaring.
Here's dot number two.
Were they familiar with the facility?
How did they know where those things were?
Dot number three, did somebody inside help them?
Were the drones the target?
Or was the technology inside the drone actually the target?
Because modern conflicts no longer begin the way they used to.
The battlefield has changed.
A small drone can, you know, scout the power plant or the rail yards or the or or the fuel terminals or the ports or a stadium filled with people.
This is the uncomfortable reality of modern warfare.
And you're, I mean, it's easily easy for us to now find ourselves in conflict way before the first missiles launch.
It's the quiet preparations.
It's the disappearance of these drones back in November and none of us knew.
And then take small pieces of that technology.
Systems acquired and then pieced together piece by piece, reproduced.
The truth is, most Americans still imagine war as something that is far away from here.
Uniforms and battlefields and front lines.
The world that has emerged in the last decade looks very different.
Do you remember seeing any of those drones?
These were little drones.
Imagine the videos of the drones in Ukraine that were chasing the guys in the tanks.
There was no escape.
That's the kind of warfare that the world is changing to.
And four of those very expensive, very powerful drones have just disappeared.
Who took them?
Well, don't worry, our government's on it.
They're offering $5,000 reward for any information.
$5,000?
That's all it's worth.
I think we need to up that and find out what the hell happened to these military drones.
How did people get on to one of our most sensitive bases and take them?
Who were they?
Terrorists?
Interior terrorists?
People who are just trying to make a buck?
Or drug cartels?
Who took these drones?
Kind of an important question.
Maybe we should look at all the dots.
All right, people are often at their very best when something goes wrong.
You know, a flood hits town, fire rips through a community, and a family loses everything in a storm.
Suddenly, people who have never met before just start showing up with trucks and food and supplies and help.
It is honestly one of the best things about our country.
When people are hurting, others just automatically step in.
It is the Judeo-Christian values that we hold.
The problem is some of that response in some areas when it's really devastating requires some coordination, you know, and groups that know how to navigate this.

We have Senator Mike Leon to talk to us about the SAVE Act.
What the hell is going on?
Excuse my language, Senator Mike Lee.
How are you?
Doing great.
Thank you, Glenn.
Good to be with you as always.
Okay, now, Mike, you're the nicest guy I know.
You're the most senatorial kind of guy I know.
You don't ever like to kick up dust and dirt.
But I got to ask you, what the hell is going on?
Who in the Senate just does not want this thing to come to the floor and actually have their vote counted?
Come on.
Who?
You know, that's the most curious thing, Glenn.
We know that there are three who are opposed to the bill.
They've been public about that.
Sundays, Murkowski, McConnell, and Tillis.
What we don't know is who else might be among those reputed to be against bringing up the talking filibuster, using the talking filibuster to bring up the Save America Act, to pass the Save America Act.
Look, we've got basically zero chance of passing this without invoking the talking filibuster.
If we do invoke it, we've got a chance.
Now, we can't guarantee exactly what it will look like.
We can't guarantee exactly what the outcome will be, but we know we've got a chance, a decent chance to pass it if we do it this way in the same way that they had a decent chance of passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, if and only if they used the talking filibuster.
They did.
It passed.
We should do the same thing here.
Yes, it takes work.
Yes, there's uncertainty.
Yes, it'd be a pain in the neck.
But you know what?
That's our job.
And thank heavens.
For those who are grateful for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the protections that it brought with it, they should all be very grateful that the Senate didn't whuss out then.
They should be very grateful that they didn't let a few senators say, well, I'm going to vote against cloture, so don't even try.
Or just force a failed, you know, failure theater cloture vote at the front end, and then we'll move on.
Thank heavens they didn't do that.
They stuck with it.
They stuck with it for 60 days.
And do you know what happened?
It brought people to the table.
It made people think.
It made people realize they were on the wrong side, the losing side of history.
And they ended up negotiating some changes to the bill to save face, and they got the thing passed.
We have to do the same thing here.
We don't know who the other three other people are other than those initial three who have identified themselves as against the bill.
I strongly disagree with them, but at least they've got the courage to say what they're doing.
There are others who are under the cover of night for reasons I don't understand.
They're not required to identify themselves.
Instead, take pot shots from the cheap seats and say, we don't want to do it.
But let's see, American people feel differently, and we ought to do this.
The American people are with us on this, Glenn.
It doesn't come this way very often.
These ships don't pass this way very often.
Where we've got the House, we've got the Senate, we've got the White House, and we've got 85% of the American people on our side, only congressional Democrats and a few miscellaneous others are against this.
So let's take advantage of it.
And don't let these people hide in silence in secrecy and not even identify themselves, much less articulate their reasons for not wanting to do it.
This is absurd.
So Jonathan Martin at Politico came after me the other day and he said, how can one spend decades in and around American politics and not understand the basic macro politics of midterm elections?
He was taking me on because I said, it'll be the death of the Republic and it might be the death of the Republicans if they don't take this up and pass it.
And my producer Ricky tried to answer some of his questions because sometimes people care more about principles than politics.
And he seemed to miss the point entirely when he replied.
He said, midterms are historically difficult for the party in power.
It has nothing to do whether a voter ID passes six months before the election.
Stop with the apocalyptic nonsense and learn some basic history.
I'm not sure what history he's looking for other than, yeah, midterms are tough for the party that's in.
But he seems to miss that I really believe the voters that go out and actually vote, the base of your party, that care, are tired of this back and forth political nonsense.
And they're saying, here's a principle that you have the chance to actually pass that everybody in America is for.
Mike, tell me, is anybody in the Senate concerned that maybe by not doing these things, you will lose your base and people are not going to go out and fight and even fight the traffic to go out and vote for you people.
And I'm sorry to lump you in on that, but the GOP, they're not going to go out and vote for you because you don't stand for anything.
This is the biggest clear victory I have ever seen.
And the GOP is not going to take advantage of it.
And they won't tell us why.
And they don't even want to be on record on which ones vote for it, which ones vote against.
Something's terribly wrong here.
Yeah.
Because we're addicted to comfort.
We're addicted to convenience.
We, meaning the Senate as an institution, we've gotten so accustomed to predictability and ease and comfort and being able to plan ahead and saying, well, I want to be on this city on this day.
I want to give a speech here on that day.
Sometimes you have to do things in this job that are difficult.
Sometimes you have to take a lot of votes.
Sometimes you have to give a lot of speeches.
Sometimes you have to devote a lot of time at inconvenient times in order to do things before you run out of time.
We're about to run out of time.
And yeah, that reporter is right.
Things can be very difficult for the party that's got the majority in both houses of Congress and the White House.
And that's all the more reason why we've got to do everything we can to make sure our elections are secure and do everything we can to make sure that our base shows up and they're not going to show up unless we fight their battles, unless we make clear that we're with them.
This one should not be hard, Glenn.
There are things in this job that are hard that are really hard.
This isn't one of them.
And I literally do not understand this has been one of the more perplexing things in 15 years in the United States Senate that I've seen.
I literally don't have a legitimate explanation for this.
I mean, I get it.
The radical left hates this bill.
They hit it with a white-hot passion.
And we can all make an educated guess as to why they hate it.
But regardless, that doesn't mean that the rest of us who are not part of the radical left have to go along with it.
And so I'm dumbfounded by the fact that we as Senate Republicans are resisting this.
Now, all that said, look, if we move forward, and I've spoken to Senator Thune, the Senate Majority Leader, as recently as last night about this, and we'll move to it and we'll debate it, regardless of whether he wants to call it a talking filibuster.
I don't care what he calls it.
But we've got to get onto the bill and we've got to not move right ahead to filing cloture and going forward with what would at this point be a failed cloture vote.
We've got to make them speak.
We've got to make them hold the floor.
We've got to make them defend their indefensible position in front of the American people under the white hot lights of the Senate floor.
And we've got to make them do it for a significant amount of time.
I don't know how much time it's going to take, but you subject them to that for enough time.
And I'm very confident some of them are going to start to see the light on this.
Some of them are going to start coming to the negotiating table on this because they don't want to have to defend the indefensible very long.
So Thune says he'll bring it to a vote.
But what does that mean?
Does that mean the cloture thing?
Well, if it means he's going to bring it up, we'll have a motion priest.
See, that's the beauty of this bill, the procedural status of the bill.
It's coming over from the House of Representatives in the form of a message.
There are all these weird rules that relate to the interplay between the House rules and the Senate rules.
The House sends us a bill in the form of a message.
That means that we don't have to take a cloture vote at the front end to get onto the bill.
With many bills, you've got to cast a vote on what's called cloture on the motion to proceed.
And that takes 60 votes to get us to the point where we can proceed to a bill.
We don't have that here.
So he's going to bring it up.
Getting onto the bill will occur at a simple majority vote threshold.
And we just need to debate the bill for a while, for a considerable amount of time, without filing cloture, without going to the next step of bringing debate to a close on the bill itself, because that takes 60 votes.
We don't have that yet.
Following back to our example from the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they were 32 votes shy of cloture when the bill arrived from the House of Representatives in March of 1964.
They spent 60 days debating it.
And lo and behold, those people who were opposed to it, mostly Democrats, by the way, they started to negotiate after a few weeks of this.
And they were eventually able to negotiate some changes that allowed them to save enough face that they were able to and willing to vote for cloture at the end of the process.
And as a result, that bill passed.
This is one of those moments.
I don't want to compare the two bills.
They're different bills, but this one should be way easier to pass than that one.
It's simpler.
It's way more popular than that one.
And so we ought to get that.
I have to tell you.
It just pissed me off so much when Thune came out and said, yeah, well, they still needed 60 votes.
Yes, they didn't have the 60 votes when they started.
60 days later, as you said, the 34 votes suddenly were found.
I mean, oh, just so agonizing.
Donald Trump seems to be really clear on pushing and saying, get this done.
They don't seem to care.
Thune doesn't seem to care.
McConnell, of course, doesn't.
Murkowski, tell us they don't care.
Has he done everything he can?
Well, look, no, nobody's done everything that they can until they have gone through the steps that we've described.
And again, I don't care what we want to call it.
If he doesn't like calling it a talking filibuster, I really could not care less.
What I care about is getting this damn bill on the floor, debating it and debating it for a long time.
I mean, two weeks ought to be the bare minimum and then reassess at that point where we are and what we need to do to keep the momentum going and what we need to do to keep bringing about consensus.
But the one thing we cannot do is bring it to the floor and then say, oh, gee, we're tired.
We want to take a recess.
It's time for recess.
We need to recess for a couple of weeks for Easter, and then, you know, some of us want to go to the Bahamas or whatever ridiculous thing they've got planned.
That will result in failure.
And so I can't emphasize enough the importance of continuing to talk about this, continuing to encourage your senators, regardless of where you think they may be on this, whether you think they're staunchly against it or already for it.
I promise you, they need encouragement.
They need to be told, you need to be in Washington.
You need to not leave Washington until this is done and the Department of Homeland Security is funded.
I've only got about 60 seconds.
Mike, is there any procedure that allows JD Vance to take the leadership role?
JD Vance can come to the Senate anytime he wants and immediately assume the position in the presiding officer chair.
There is, I've long believed, significant and underutilized authority that comes with sitting in that chair.
Just the ability to call the shots from moment to moment to make procedural rulings upon receiving, but not necessarily always guided by the advice of the parliamentarian, the presiding officer, especially if the vice president can do what he wants.
But I would certainly welcome the vice president coming to do that.
And I would also welcome each and every Republican senator weighing in on this and encouraging Senate Republicans to do the right thing.
Look, I don't want to speak for anyone else.
I don't want to put words into any senator's mouth.
Protect Your Home Title00:04:09
It is not my place to do that.
But I will say this.
I do think that Jonathan wants to win the November elections.
I do think he wants to keep both chambers of Congress in Republican hands.
And based on my most recent conversations with him, including last night, I think he gets the fact that we can't get on this bill and immediately start heading to cloakure.
Let's continue to encourage him to prolong debate on this as long as it takes to get it passed.
Thanks, Mike.
I'm going to say something and Mike didn't.
I think Thune is a piece of garbage myself on this and worthless.
And I would encourage the White House to encourage JD Vance to go over and assume the role.
Get this done.
If they're not going to do it, encourage the vice president and the president to have the vice president walk in and say, Thune, sit down.
Here's what we're going to do.
If that is constitutionally, if he's able to do that constitutionally, it should be done.
That did not come from Mike Lee.
Mike, thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
Let me tell you about our sponsor.
It's Lifelock.
Stealing used to mean physically taking something, a wallet, a checkbook, maybe a credit card.
And if those things were still in your pocket, you were good.
The world has changed.
However, today, a thief doesn't need to touch your wallet at all.
They just need information, a date, a name, a birth, birth date, social security number, a password that might have been exposed in a data breach that you've never even heard about.
With just a few pieces of information, someone you've never met can start opening accounts, taking out loans, committing crimes using your name.
That's why services like LifeLock exist.
Lifelock monitors millions of data points every second for signs that somebody may be trying to use your personal information.
And if they detect a threat, they alert you.

Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.
We lock the doors, we install the cameras.
But there's another way that your home can be targeted, and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property.
It is actually called home title fraud, and it's exactly what it sounds like.
Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county, they transfer ownership of your home into their name.
And then once all that happens, they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under you.
The scary part is like you don't really know much about this as it's going on.
Regular homeowners' insurance doesn't typically protect you from this.
And the mortgage company isn't looking for it either.
That's why you need Home Title Lock.
They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud.
So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem.
Something suspicious shows up, you can immediately act and you can get it out, you can knock it out quickly.
I've partnered with Home Title Lock for a while now because I want you to be able to protect your equity.
I want you to be able to find out if you're already a victim of this because it's devastating if you get caught up in it.
The promo code is Blaze.
Blaze is the promo code at home titlelock.com.
You'll get a free title history report, plus a free trial of their million-dollar triple lock protection, 24-7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts to any changes.
And if fraud occurs, a U.S.-based restoration team will spend up to a million bucks to fix it for you.

Hearing Aid Promo Code00:03:27
There is some, there's a couple of things that are breaking.
Probably next week, Data Republican is on a really strong theory that she said she can prove about Politico and Punch Bowl and everything else and how the Senate actually is working, Congress is actually working.
We'll get into that later.
Also, the Ayatollah has just made a statement.
I don't know how he did it in a coma, but he's just made a statement.
Attacks on the U.S. and our bases, et cetera, et cetera, is going to continue.
They're going to avenge the blood of martyrs.
And they are considering opening other fronts if necessary.
I would say a storefront, maybe selling coffins would be a good one.
Here's something uncomfortable.
You don't always realize that you're missing things.
You just notice you're working a little harder.
You lean in a little bit more during conversations or you ask people, can you say that again?
You then pretend you caught it the second time, even though you didn't.
By the end of a long dinner or family gathering, you're worn out, not from talking, but from straining just to keep up.
This is what gradual hearing loss feels like for a lot of people.
You're still present, you're still engaged, but everything takes more effort than it used to.
What holds people back from doing something about it isn't just pride.
It is honestly the hassle, the appointments, the tests, the follow-ups, the price tags that make hearing feel like a major medical product.
Audi and hearing is trying to make that first step a lot simpler.
Their Atom series over-the-counter hearing aids are designed to be approachable, easy to use without prescriptions, no complication, no fittings.
You just get started.
You put them in, charge them, and then you're hearing better than you have in a long time.
You hear what you've been missing.
Don't wait.

When Beck is on This is the Glenn Beck program.
Glenn Beck is on.
Hello, America.
Welcome.
I got a few questions.
It just had Mike Lee on talk about the Save Act.
And Ricky said to me, you know, it's things like you just said that don't make you popular in Washington.
You want to know why we don't have anybody of any note on the show from Washington?
Because you say things like that.
And so that got me thinking.
And I actually think I'm okay with that.
But I want to talk about this.
I also want to talk about the latest on the oil, the drones that are missing now from the 101st Airborne.
Why Washington Shuns Glenn Beck00:15:21
How did that happen?
How do we just lose these really, really sensitive drones with crypto loads?
So it's got all, it can break through GPS boundaries, everything.
It's highly sensitive and four of them were just taken by two guys that came in in masks and guns onto Fort Campbell.
What?
How did that happen?
We'll talk about that and so much more here.
Oh, and there's a new statement from the Ayatollah.
We had to translate it from gibberish, which I think is the official language of the clerics over there.
But we have an unofficial translation coming up here in just a second to give you the latest because things are heating up.
And we'll talk about that and so much more in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
Every day you pay for a service, you know, and you should stop and ask yourself occasionally, if I were choosing this today, would this be the company that I would pick again?
Most people are still using the same cell phone company that they signed up, you know, with a long, long time ago.
They just walked into a store, picked a plan, never really thought about it again.
You really should because a lot has changed.
Big wireless companies have gotten a lot bigger, more political, and a lot more comfortable in spending billions of dollars supporting causes that you probably don't agree with.
It's a fair question because look at it this way, with all the corruption that is going on right now, you're already paying your taxes and I'll bet you 30% of your dollar, your tax dollars going to corruption.
So you're already funding all of those corrupt things.
Why pay for it with your phone bill too?
Patriot Mobile offers dependable nationwide service.
They're on all three major networks so you can keep the coverage that you have.
Also, you're supporting a company that's working to protect the values you believe in.
So go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot, 972Patriot, patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
Get a free month of service, patriotmobile.com slash Beck, 972 Patriot.
Okay, Jason.
Yes.
I just asked you to create a poll for the insiders.
And you got to tell me when it's up because I really, I'm interested in this because I might be doing the people of America a disservice by not kissing everybody's ass in Washington and not actually saying what I mean, but playing nice, playing the game.
I just said a minute ago.
You know what Roger Ailes said, you know what your problem is?
When I was at Fox, you know what your problem is?
I said, no, Roger, I don't know what my problem is.
Your problem is you won't play the game.
And I said, you're right, because to me, it's not a game.
Okay.
I mean what I say and say what I mean.
And I'm tired of all the people playing the game because he was talking to me about, you know, he said, you know, when Al Sharpton came to protest Don Imos, do you think I didn't know about that?
And I was like, you did?
And he said, of course I knew about that.
He called me.
We do this from time to time.
He'll need a pound of flesh from somebody over here.
And then I'll tolerate it to a certain extent.
And then he'll go away.
And then I'll need a pound of flesh.
And I'll call him.
And I'm like, you're admitting this?
That's the way the system works?
No, thank you.
Want nothing to do with that.
So I was just on with Mike Lee and he was very nice, as Mike Lee is, because he's not controversial.
And I mean, he did say, what did he say?
Hell or damn?
Damn.
Damn.
Really harsh.
Yeah, really harsh.
That's like the F word for him.
That's like him just steaming mad.
Damn, pass the damn bill.
But anyway, and so he finished and I said, okay, Mike, well, I'm going to say the things that you're not going to say.
You know, Thun is a worthless piece of crap.
And, you know, I think you should call the White House or write to the White House and suggest to the president maybe JD Vance just exercises his constitutional power and goes in and says, hey, Thune, sit down.
We're going to take care of this bill now.
Because the vice president can do that.
He can assume the position because I, and I think the rest of the country are tired of assuming the position.
So maybe we take another position and have JD Vance take that position because Thune's not going to get it done.
These guys are not going to get it done.
And as I said the other day, that's because they're lazy.
They're all freaking lazy and they don't care.
They want to go on their little junkets.
They want to go, you know, and do this fundraiser or this speech.
They want to go home because they've got to be with their families.
And so they don't want to spend 60 days in Washington on call 24 hours a day because to them, nothing is important enough to do that.
But to me, it is.
To you, it is.
So I asked Jason, I said, I want you to take a poll of the insiders and just ask.
Would you rather have me play the game so I can have Jon Thune on, so he can say all his bull crap that he says everywhere else.
And then I go, well, I don't know if I actually agree with that.
You know, technically, I think, John, maybe we disagree on this.
And we keep it really nice and polite.
And he gets away with saying all the same bull crap that he says everywhere else.
This is what Ricky Ricky's shaking her head like.
No, You can have on people that you disagree with.
I can.
You've done it before.
I've seen you lean on your better angels.
You can have them on and then you can ask smart questions that get them in a box and force them to either lie or spin or make news.
But when you know that's all they do anyway.
No, but you can corner them.
There is a way to be fair, but also make them look like idiots and still be polite about it.
We can do this.
I believe that you can do this.
But can I just say that.
Wait, I don't know if it's worth doing, though.
I mean, because that's what everybody else does.
No, they don't.
Anyways, we're not going to, the insiders are going to disagree with me, and that's fine.
I'm happy to be the enemy today, but I just want to say your theory, you're a traitor.
Yes.
I'm a communist traitor who went to Cuba and lived in Canada.
Okay.
Anyways, Politico basically said yesterday, what you've been saying, they just used more words.
You've been saying Congress is lazy.
That's why they don't want to do the talking filibusters.
Can I sum up yesterday's article from Politico?
Yeah.
They said senators have conveyed to Trump there isn't support inside the GOP ranks to successfully deploy a talking filibuster.
Doing so would require the majority to maintain attendance and control of the floor on a constant basis for weeks on end.
So how is that different?
From what I just said.
How's that different?
Is this written by the same guy at Politico who yesterday was like, Glenn Beck just doesn't get it?
I don't think it's the same author.
No, it's not the same author.
But good news, Data Republican.
She's digging into, she has a big expose coming for Glennbeck.com about three big congressional media launderers.
Politico is one of them.
So say, I can't wait.
And I don't have to say nice things about Data Republican because she's deaf, so she can't hear it.
But I say this from my heart.
I love that woman.
She is the best.
And she's working on, she's been in touch with us and she's like, I'm working on some things.
Okay, good, good.
Can't wait to see it.
Next week's going to be kind of a big week of shows here on the Glenbeck program because not only will we be hopefully exposing that with data, but we also are going to be doing our big expose on Islam and the blueprint for, you know, our destruction.
Eh, no big deal.
It's maybe a special you can miss or not.
We're going to expose what is actually going on in the West.
And, you know, the question, the question really is, who's going to win this battle?
Well, I can tell you who's going to win this battle.
The ones who are actually engaged in the battle, who know it's a battle, who will admit this is what we're doing or this is what's being done to us.
The ones who admit it and then go, ah, no, it's worth going the other way.
Or, you know, like the Islamists, now they're all saying the same thing.
You know what?
We're here in America.
We're here in Europe because we're going to take over because this needs to be a continent that is dedicated to Allah and Islam.
Sorry, not this continent over my dead body.
And it may end up over my dead body because not enough people wake up.
But we're going to try to wake you up next week.
So join us.
That will be on Torch.
The premiere is live March 19th.
That's next Thursday, a week from tonight at 8 p.m.
By the way, speaking of this, I mean, it couldn't just, it couldn't come at a better time.
We've been working months on this, and it couldn't come at a better time because we now have the Ayatollah, who, which, which was it, The Guardian that came out?
It was the Daily Mail.
Daily Mail.
Not really known for being like a premier journalism outlet, but right, right.
And not conservative.
And Daily Mail came out.
And what did they say about the Ayatollah?
Oh, Glenn's putting me on the spot.
Let me pull this up again.
They basically said, you guys are going to be shocked to hear this, that Iran's new supreme leader is, quote, obsessed with the end of days.
What?
What?
And, quote, believes he has a special part in hastening humanity down that path.
What?
Where's he heard that?
Return of the promised one.
What are you saying?
So finally, at least the Daily Mail is like, hey, this guy's a religious zealot and wants the end of the world.
Maybe we should pay attention to that.
Anyway, he's just come out.
There's a new statement.
Now, when I say he has come out with this, I'm not sure it's him or a cardboard cutout because, you know, the Guardian is reporting that the new Ayatollah is actually in a coma and has lost his leg.
The IRGC and state-run media in Iran is saying, he's totally fine.
He has a scratch on his leg.
He's got a little boo-boo on his leg, nothing a little band-aid.
You know, I am stuck on Band-Aid and Band-Aid stuck on me.
That's what he's singing right now.
It's no big deal.
And so we're not sure who this statement came from, but Reuters has now taken this and translated it from, I think the official language of the Mahadi is gibberish.
And so they have taken this now and translated it from gibberish to English.
He said in his statement, Iran will continue using the leverage of closing the Strait of Hermuz.
Attacks on U.S. bases in the region are going to continue unless the bases are immediately closed.
I don't see that one happening.
Iran believes in friendship with its neighbor, but it is only targeting U.S. bases.
That's a hard one to get past because you're hitting, you know, downtown area, way away from our bases.
You're hitting apartment buildings.
So they're also going to continue to avenge the blood of martyrs.
That's a top priority and will not be foregone.
So, you know, that's, you know, somebody said, you think this, this Ayatollah is going to be better than the last one?
I don't know.
We did just kill his dad.
So I'm not sure.
It's like, you know, if Iran would have killed Donald Trump and then we selected Don Jr. to be president, I don't think he would have gone softer on Iran than his father.
But, you know, maybe that's just me.
And Iran is considering opening other fronts if necessary.
So we got that going for us.
Now, Jason, I want to bring you in here in a second.
I want to take a quick break and then I want to bring you in and just get an update on what's happening in the straits of in the strait of Hormuz and oil prices because it's a little spooky, but I also want to talk to you about the crypto load on the drones that have been stolen.
We have pictures of two guys wearing masks and gloves.
Going into a secure facility at a military base of the 101st airborne and stealing four drones.
And these aren't like, these aren't the, you know, it's not like going to Home Depot and getting a little drone.
These are massive, really important drones with big technology.
We don't know who stole them.
We don't know where they went.
They were stolen a few months ago and the government's offering a $5,000 reward.
Wait, what?
A $5,000 reward for any information that leads.
I think we should up that maybe just a little bit.
I don't know.
Just me.
I mean, we're printing money anyway.
Why not offer a little bit more if we can get the drones back?
I want to talk to you about that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
It's Relief Factor.
Let me throw you a strange question.
If somebody could follow you around for a week, like a documentary, you know, and that crew is got a camera on you just observing your daily life.
Would they notice some things that you don't even think about?
You know, you might say, nothing much, nothing much, but an outside observer would probably see the little things that you stop noticing.
Like, I don't know, the way your hand automatically reaches for the handrail when you go down the stairs, the way you take a brief pause before standing up from your chair, the way you gravitate towards the seat with armrests without really thinking about why.
I don't even think about it.
Not much, not much going on there.
The little compromises here and there, certain movements, certain activities, certain parts of life that get edited out without even having a, being a conscious decision anymore.
It's one of the reasons that Relief Factor exists.
Relief Factor was helped to create a situation where your body can reduce the everyday joint and muscle discomfort so you can stay active and do the things that you enjoy.
And over a million people have tried Relief Factor.
Two-thirds of them have gone on to take more.
I'm one of the two-thirds.
My wife made me take it.
And I mean, I wasn't doing advertising for them because I didn't know if it worked or not.
And I wasn't going to try because it's all natural.
And, you know, I grew up in the air, in the era of better living through Dow Chemicals.
What a scam that was.
Anyway, three-week quick start.
I tried it because my wife told me she wasn't going to listen to me whine anymore.
It actually worked for me.
I still take it.
Relief Factor, see what it can do for you.
800 for relief, 800, the number four relief, or go to relieffactor.com.
Relief Factor Scam Exposed00:14:56
10 seconds, station IP.
All right, Jason.
Yes, sir.
Tell me about why these drones are so important.
What does crypto load mean?
So these drones would have been loaded with some kind of crypto.
So basically being able to mix the signals so that anyone can't either access these drones or listen in to anything else that's being relayed through these drones.
So it's very common on radios, multiple other equipments.
What I would be concerned about is if there is a crypto load that has been loaded onto these drones and if that could be accessed in some way.
If you're in the military, you probably have been in a situation on a training exercise or whenever when some piece of equipment with a crypto load in it has gone missing and then everything shuts down until they find it.
That would be one of the biggest things that I would be concerned about on this.
And as of now, we don't really know.
There's been like zero mainstream news reporting on this.
It's all just been local news and nothing else.
Why?
If something with a crypto load will stop the base, everybody's like, stop, find this before we do anything else.
How can four of these drones, how can somebody, two guys walk in with rifles and they had to have known, I assume, known what they were looking for, known where it was, walk on the base with rifles?
That's nuts.
The more I look at it.
And we don't even hear about it for four months.
So the more I look at this, and I pulled up the story or the reward flyer from the Criminal Investigation Division, from the Department of Army, and they actually don't mention rifles on that.
And we were analyzing this in one of the insider segments.
By the way, if you're not subscribed, you really should go to glemic.com slash torch and subscribe.
One of the users, I think, has used the piece of equipment that is shown in one of the pictures.
And they say it looks like a fire department halogen tool.
And I looked that up, and that's exactly what it looks like.
It does kind of look like a rifle from the picture, but it looks specifically like a, it's like basically a big pry bar.
But so used to pry doors open or pry safes or whatever they need to, a cage.
That's what it is.
That's better.
Yeah.
And it makes more sense.
I mean, it makes more sense because if you walk onto a military, I would imagine, you know, it's like walking into a police station with a mask and a rifle.
I think they're going to shoot you.
Yeah.
And why you would, I mean, that would automatically set you up as a bad guy.
Of course, the masks do that themselves.
And there's these pictures, these clear pictures of these guys wearing masks.
You know, and they don't look Norwegian, let's put it that way.
But I don't know.
I mean, I don't know.
And I don't know why we wouldn't have heard about this.
How can something this sensitive just go missing on a million on the 101st Airborne's base?
How can they go missing and us only have local news reports?
Yeah, it's pretty wild.
And maybe one possible reason is because on military bases, there are roughly on a size like this base in Fort Campbell, there's probably around two to three to sometimes 4,000 contractors, private contractors on these bases.
And theft does happen pretty much all the time.
Something will happen.
It won't go to national news.
But that's exactly what I was going to say is not, I guess they're just not being thinking it through.
Drones that could have crypto and plus some kind of AI, military AI that they're using.
That's a whole nother ballgame right there.
Yeah, I would imagine this is worth a lot on the black market.
And as I said earlier, you know, I think this is, you know, possibly cartels.
And if it's not cartels, then it's, it may be a nation state.
That's even worse.
But the cartels would love to have this technology on our own border.
Bernal Launcher.
Last night I was having dinner and my niece came into town and we were having dinner and she was talking to me about this school she goes to up in the northeast.
And she was saying, yeah, so, you know, just off campus, we have, you know, we just had like four murders and a stabbing and a partridge in a pear tree.
And I mean, it was like, what the hell?
Where are you going to school?
And she's like, actually, it's a really good school.
And I'm like, yeah, but it doesn't sound good.
She's like, no, we've got to stay on campus.
I said, do you have a gun or a Burna launcher or anything?
And she said, no.
I said, I'm getting you and your sisters a burner launcher.
And I said, I want you to put it in your backpack or your purse or wherever you are.
Carry it and keep it.
Because, I mean, these states are going to burn themselves to the ground.
And you have to protect yourself.
This is legal in all 50 states.
You don't need a permit.
It's non-lethal or less lethal.
And it protects you from real harm, gives you time to get away.
I want you to go to burna.com, burna.com, learn more about it.

Next week's live torch special will chill you to the bone.
Don't miss it.
Join today, glennbeck.com slash torch.
I'm going to start with some bad news.
I'm going to give you some good news and then I'll give you some bad news.
And then I probably will give you some good news.
But let me give you some bad news.
We're talking about the numbers of the debt and our deficit.
We just released some more numbers that, you know, were made-up numbers when I was a kid.
We have just run a trillion dollar deficit in the first five months of this fiscal year.
Now, here's the good news.
That's better than it was last year.
So we're making some progress.
But buried inside of this report is another number that should wake us all up.
And that is $79 billion.
In the first five months, $79 billion.
That's what we paid in interest.
Not in the first five months.
We paid that in February, $79 billion.
We paid in interest on our debt that is now approaching $39 trillion, just interest.
That is, you know, that's more expensive than everything except three other categories, Social Security, income security programs, and healthcare.
Any civilization that is borrowing money just to pay interest on money it already borrowed at that debt is not going to survive.
So let me ask you, we're $39 trillion in the hole.
We just paid $79 billion last month for just service of the debt.
Let me ask you.
Those numbers are so huge.
Is your life getting better?
Do you feel like your life is getting better?
Is your airport in your town brand new?
How about your roads and bridges for all those infrastructure projects that we've done?
Are they better?
How about your hospital?
Is it new?
Is it expanded?
Lots of extra room, you know, in the hospital.
Are your children better educated?
In any way, shape, or form, we've spent $39 trillion.
Can you tell me where that money has gone to make your life better?
Because I don't see the result of it.
I see it in the military, and that's it.
That's it.
So where's the money actually going?
Well, let's step away from the spreadsheets here a bit and let's go just looking around, poking in cities like Los Angeles, because the answer begins to emerge.
And it is far uglier than most Americans are even prepared to admit.
Maybe, maybe, or maybe they don't care.
I don't know.
But let me start with the hospice scandal that we talked about yesterday in Los Angeles County.
This is one county.
Investigators and journalists have now uncovered what appears to be one of the largest hospice fraud schemes in modern American history.
Notice we're hearing it's the largest hospice.
It's the largest autism scheme.
What are all these schemes?
The largest medical scheme.
Hospice care, you know, I'd feel a little guilty stealing from the hospice system.
You know, final chapter of life, families gather, pain is eased, dignity is preserved, and you're stealing from that?
Wow.
Okay, Medicare pays for that.
No, let me rephrase that.
You pay for that, your tax dollars, and you pay for that because you have compassion.
Okay.
But in Los Angeles County, hundreds of hospice companies suddenly appeared almost overnight and nobody noticed.
Many of them are run out of small little offices and storefronts and residential homes, like 30, 30 of these companies in one little office.
Really?
And they were enrolling patients who are not dying.
In fact, they existed, but they didn't know they were enrolling in this.
They weren't terminal.
People had no idea they had been signed up for hospice at all.
Once somebody is falsely enrolled in hospice, the money then begins flowing from Medicare to whom?
Where?
Tens of thousands of dollars per patient.
Some patients allegedly cycled through multiple fraudulent hospital providers or hospice providers like inventory.
The dying turn into billing codes.
The elderly turned into profit centers.
Is this a victimless crime?
Hospice fraud means that real care is denied.
Pain medication is withheld.
Proper treatment is delayed.
Families misled.
And it's not theft of just money.
It is the theft of dignity at the end of human life.
And when this scandal broke, the response was predictable, wasn't it?
Political response was finger-pointing, blame shifting, anything except what the public deserves, and that is a ruthless house cleaning.
Ruthless house cleaning.
Now let's stay in Los Angeles just for a minute because the second story is just as revealing.
City of Los Angeles, again, we went from the county now to the city.
They have approved $106 million to a nonprofit organization that provides legal services to tenants facing eviction.
So now on the surface, helping people who can't afford legal representation sounds compassionate, right?
But let's take a look a little closer.
The organization receiving the money is LAFLA, the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles.
Over the next three years, they will receive $106,572,543.69 from the taxpayer.
Lawyers connected to the same organization have repeatedly filed lawsuits that prevent the city from clearing homeless encampments.
Encampments that are blocking sidewalks.
Encampments that create unsafe conditions for residents.
Encampments that make companies and storefronts that are actually paying tax dollars from being able to do business.
Entire neighborhoods in zones of disorder.
The city can't enforce its own municipal codes because the lawyers are constantly suing the city and the city is paying for those lawyers.
And those lawyers are building $1,025 an hour.
$1,025 per hour taxpayer funded to obstruct the taxpayer.
I mean, the system is a joke.
It's a loop.
Government tries to do its job.
Government then funds the lawyers who want to stop it from doing its job.
Lawyers sue the government.
Government pays the settlement.
Crisis continues.
This is Cloud and Piven, and the bill just keeps growing.
Now step back.
Forget about the corruption in Minnesota or New York or Illinois or anywhere else.
I'm telling you, we're going to find this all over the country.
But just focus on the headlines of today.
One story is hospice fraud targeting the elderly and the dying.
The second is taxpayer money funding legal warfare that perpetuates urban collapse in the same city and county as the other fraud.
And above both of them sits the third number, a trillion dollar deficit in five months.
Interest payments that rival entire federal programs.
That's the real story.
Because if this level of corruption can happen in just one county, in just one city, in one set of programs, you have to ask the question nobody wants to actually ask reason why Elon Musk was chased out of town.
What if Los Angeles is not the exemption or the exception?
What if it is actually the rule?
What if Los Angeles is the model?
Corruption in Los Angeles00:05:41
We spend roughly $6.5 trillion every year.
Do you feel that?
Is your life getting easier?
Let's just do the numbers.
If just 10% of that is lost to fraud, waste, and corruption, that's $650 billion.
If it's 20%, that's $1.3 trillion.
That's the entire deficit.
This is deeply unsettling.
It should be.
If what we're seeing in places like Los Angeles reflects the broader system, then 20%, maybe one-third of the federal deficit every single year may simply be because of corruption.
Not policy disagreements, not things that they're funding that we all think are crazy, not defense spending, not Social Security, corruption.
It is robbery from you, the taxpayer, the quiet siphoning of money from you through programs that are meant to be compassionate, noble, necessary, until you look closely enough and see the machinery underneath.
And how many people were involved for this kind of corruption to happen?
How many people turned a blind eye?
How many people were told, sit down, shut up, or you'll lose your job?
This is the mob.
And it's the moral condition required for it to continue.
Hospices stealing from the dying.
Legal rackets profit from homelessness.
Cities paying organizations to obstruct the enforcement of basic law and order.
And what's the reaction from the public?
Meh.
Shrug a headline.
Another day.
What are you going to do about it?
Got news for you.
Republic's not going to stand with that level of indifference.
It can't.
Can't.
Corruption doesn't begin with greedy officials.
It begins when a society decides, eh, we don't need to look that closely.
When voters stop demanding answers.
When outrage is selective.
When the most vulnerable people in society, do you know how poorly history is going to judge us?
When you have elderly patients, the homeless who are struggling, when you're stealing from the dying and they become revenue streams instead of human beings.
Oh my gosh, that's the real bankruptcy.
Forget about our money.
This isn't financial bankruptcy.
This is moral bankruptcy.
Throughout history, lots of countries go bankrupt.
They run out of money.
Most of them run out of money because they ran out of virtue first.
Rome had corruption.
Late-stage empires always do.
Rome's real problem was eventually the citizens just didn't care enough to stop it.
They were fine with the circuses and the cakes.
Are we fine with the circuses and cakes?
What are the circuses that are happening in your life right now?
What circuses are happening that the media is pushing?
What circuses are you seeing on social media every day?
Because we're all watching the circus.
And we're learning to live with it.
And we're learning to accept it as our treasury is being, your bank account is being robbed.
Warning, the world's largest robbery is happening right now.
It is the warning flare so big it should be able to be seen from space.
If hospice fraud can flourish in the shadows, if taxpayer money can fund legal warfare against you with your money, if billions can move through programs with no accountability, then the deficit we see on paper is only part of the story.
The real deficit is something harder to repair.
A deficit of courage, a deficit of attention, a deficit of moral clarity.
And unless we rediscover those things really soon, gang, the most dangerous line in the federal budget will not be the interest payments.
It will be that silent line item that's been growing for decades.
The cost of looking the other way.
More in a minute.
You tell you about leaf filter.
You know, you only notice your house's gutters when they stop doing their job.
And I guess that's a good thing, but they shouldn't stop doing their job.

So, oh, you just hit refresh, did you?
Ricky.
Ricky, who is our director of content on the programs?
I just asked for a poll to be taken from the insiders.
And I said, you know, because I said something about Jon Thune in an interview with Mike Lee, and Mike, I'm sure, was very, you know, not happy that I said it with him on the show.
But, you know, I just think, I just think Thun is a piece of worthless, worthless politician.
Let's say that.
And I said it afterwards, Ricky said, well, that's why we don't get Jon Thune on the air.
And I'm like, you know, I'm tired of hearing these people.
I don't need to hear their bull crap.
And she said, well, you could box them in and by asking them questions.
And that would be neat.
But yeah, I'm just, I'm just, I just, I just know I have no tolerance.
So I said, let's take a poll.
So what are the, what do the listeners say?
Well, a minute ago, 11% agreed with me.
Don't burn bridges so we can interview them and then burn them on air.
But now it's up to only 10% or down to 10% agree with me.
90% agree with you.
Burn it all down.
No holds hard.
So I don't, that's not my position.
It's not burn it all down.
It's like, look, if you want to hear these blowhards say that crap, listen, they'll be on every show, every news network.
They can say all that bullcrap elsewhere.
You know, and I know they're full of bullcrap when they say it.
Why would I inflict that on you, my beloved audience?
Say, hey, listen to this guy for 10 minutes so I can have one minute going, you know, technically, gotcha.
I think you're just insecure about your interview skills.
No, they're better than you.
I just, I do not like, I don't like those people.
I just don't like liars.
Clamback is on.
You know what's strange about back pain?
It usually doesn't show up with blaring sirens and crashing symbols.
It just sort of becomes a part of your daily routine.
And before you realize, you've totally changed.
You sit a little more carefully than you used to.
You avoid certain movements.
You get up slower.
You plan your day around what your spine might decide to do.
That's not the way it's supposed to be.
Here's the reality: the chirp contour is designed for that exact kind of everyday wear and tear.
Long hours sitting, sleeping wrong, working too hard, sometimes not moving enough.
It uses targeted spinal decompression, deep massage and pressure, optimal heat to help you and your back actually relax and reset.
You lie down automatically, it adjusts to your back, and it does all the work for you.
No guessing, no twisting yourself into positions that feel like a yoga class gone wrong.

So if you know Donald Trump, I mean, really know him.
You know he does not believe in forever wars.
He does not believe in these foreign excursions that our country has been going on.
He despises them.
You also know, if you really know Donald Trump, he knows how important this next election is.
But he also knows that it will hinge on the economy and he knows how to fix economies.
So if you know those things and you know this election matters and the only thing that's going to matter is a true, verifiable election, how do you explain what is happening in America?
How does one make sense of what Trump is doing with the war, with what it could mean to the economy and the Save America Act?
Somebody who actually knows Donald Trump and has known him as a good friend for a long time may be able to give some insight as Bill O'Reilly.
He joins me next.
He's the host of Will Do It Live, which I love.
I absolutely love Bill O'Reilly will do it live.
We're going to talk to him here in just a second for some insight on this war and Donald Trump and what's coming our way.
More in just a second.
First, give me 60 seconds.
Communication is one of the things that you assume will always be there.
You know, right until the moment it isn't.
Your phone battery dies or, you know, you're out on a property or you're traveling with families in multiple vehicles.
Maybe you're hunting or camping.
You know, you're working a job site where everybody needs to stay in touch and all of a sudden you can't get a hold of anybody.
That's where something like Rapid Radios makes a lot of sense.
The new RAD 1 from Rapid Radios is built to make communications simple again.
You turn it on, you press the button, you talk.
No programming, no complicated setup, and no license is required.
The RAD1 lets people talk across the country with clear push-to-talk communication, not just a few miles like traditional walkie-talkies.
This is built to be rugged, water-resistant, long battery life, and excellent audio.
In other words, when you need to talk to somebody, whether across a farm, across the city, or across the country, you just press a button and you talk.
It's just that simple.
The new RAD1, officially live.
Head on over to rapidradios.com.

Communication redefined.

First of all, Bill, how are you?
We thought you died, but apparently not.
Nope.
Just like a vampire.
Gonna keep rising.
Who's singing that bag song?
That sounded like the monkeys.
Did you get the monkeys back together again?
Yeah, yeah, we did.
We did.
We did.
So, Bill, first of all, seriously, how are you feeling?
I'm feeling okay.
Thank you for asking.
And we're launching today Do It Live.
And here's something you'll enjoy, Beck.
Are you ready for enjoyment?
I am.
I'm already enjoying a lot of this.
Because, you know, that's one of the reasons I'm on the planet is to give you enjoyment.
Yes.
My staff turned on me.
So I run an operation.
You know that, billo Reilly.com knows the news and all that.
And I got about 60 people working for me, a lot of people.
And so they're hounding me.
You got to do long form.
They call it a podcast.
Podcast to me, two guys sitting in the basement smoking pot.
You know, we don't do that here.
So, but it's long form.
And then they go, we have a perfect name.
And I go, oh, it's going to be like the Riley Factor 2 or something.
No, we'll do it live.
Now, for those of you who don't know what that means, when I was 12 years old, I was anchoring Inside Edition.
That program is still on the air.
But I'm 12.
And I got a little heated one day because the technology just screwed up.
All right.
And I launched a few F-bombs with We'll Do It Live.
Right.
Now.
Right.
Secretly.
Never heard that story.
And then somebody at Inside Edition sold it for a lot of money, I understand, to one of these smear websites.
And then it got out.
And now it'll haunt me for the rest of my life.
So that's what the staff demanded to call this program, which debuts today with Rob Schneider.
And I have to tell you.
Wait, you're doing it with Rob Schneider?
Yeah.
Oh, that's even better.
That's even better.
Yeah, you love it.
Okay.
So you love it.
So, Bill, so Bill, here's the thing.
I know that story.
And I have been told for years, never by you, but by others, do not mention We'll Do It Live to Bill.
Do not ever mention that.
So, like, people have been afraid to mention that to you forever because, I don't know, thought you would go, you know, ballistic on whoever mentioned it.
So, how do they bring this up to you?
Well, you know, you figure the statute limitations would run out when you're 12 years old.
Okay.
But no.
Okay.
So I missed these cycles.
So I just surrendered, Beck.
I just said, okay.
I love it.
I'll be humiliated every day of my life.
No, That's what I stay on.
I love the fact.
I love the fact that you're actually embracing it and just using it for humor.
It's the most effective way to do it.
And I just love it, Bill.
All right.
Let me talk to you about the news of the day.
Right.
You know, Donald Trump.
You know he hates forever wars.
Trump Hates Forever Wars00:15:44
You also have been around enough wars to know this one could be very, very, very dicey.
It could also hurt the economy.
You know that this election coming up is really important, and we can't do anything to hurt the economy just on a political front, let alone what it actually means to the average everyday person.
How do you read this war, what we're doing, what is coming, and what it's going to mean?
Okay, so a big gamble by President Trump, a big dice roll.
And he reached a period in time in history where the CIA, NSA, all of our intel jobed with the United Nations and said, look, we knocked out a lot of their nuclear capacity in June of last year, but they have satellites and are close to being able to put together 10 nuclear bombs.
Okay?
10.
And so that intel came in.
And that obviously got Trump's attention.
So there was a massive discussion for months about, all right, what do we do?
Because what the mullahs did was they decentralized their new Khmer capacity.
They spread it out rather than having it in one place.
So then Mossad went in and Netanyahu, and I don't think the Trump administration is going to mind me saying this, even though it hasn't been made public, but I'm a reporter and I have the information.
So Mossad went in and said, look, on this Saturday, the Ayatollah and 25 of the thugs are going to be in this place at this time.
So what do you want to do?
Now that was after three months of negotiations with the Iranians to stop their nuclear weapons program.
And the last negotiation in Geneva, Switzerland, the guy, the foreign minister of Iran, walks in and says, you know what?
We're not stopping.
Blank you, we don't care what you say.
We're not stopping.
And Witkoff, our chief U.S. negotiator, had a report back to Trump.
So that's the information Trump has.
Number one, they're close to 10 bombs.
Number two, they're all going to be drinking tea on Saturday morning in this spot.
And number three, they're saying blank you to the U.S. government.
They're not going to stop.
That's how the decision was made.
Now, Ancillary, everybody knows the midterms are coming up, and Americans will largely vote on a motion and how they are feeling about their financial portfolio.
But the president believes that he will be victorious in the next month or so.
Puts us into April, puts us into China with Xi.
And he believes he's going to have momentum after basically dismantling Iran because that's what they're doing now.
They're just wiping out its capacity to do anything, which is not easy, and that's why you're seeing this short-term pain.
Now, people believe what they want to believe, and the president is no exception.
If it comes his way, then he becomes a great president, which he wants, his legacy.
If it doesn't, then the Republicans will probably lose in November.
So that's where we are.
Knowing what you know, Bill, after watching so many, you know, so many wars, you know, you were here, I think, for the British-American war.
After seeing so many wars fought, how does this look in a pattern of wars?
I mean, it's not looking good.
How are you sensing this is going to shape up?
His way.
I'm not as pessimistic as many Americans are.
And of course, the media wants Trump to fail, if you can imagine that.
Sure.
I mean, they want Iran to win.
So give me the reason why.
Give me the reason that makes you go, don't worry about that.
Well, I wouldn't say don't worry about it.
It's certainly a worry, and it's a big gamble.
And no other president in modern time would have done it.
Nobody.
Okay.
So you got a dice thrower in there running the country, but that's not a bulletson.
Everybody knows that Donald Trump is a risk taker.
The problem is he's taking a risk of 350 Americans, a million Americans, and that's very serious.
But history has changed.
But he's not a gambler.
He's a businessman.
He will throw the dice on the table, but only when he knows the odds are in his favor.
So he's not like some.
But the odds are in his favor.
The odds are in his favor.
But it just doesn't, it just matters how the timeline is going to go out.
Look, Iran is not going to be able to wage offensive war.
That's why Trump's going around going, we won already.
So that's a fact.
They will never in, I'd say, decades, be able to launch an offensive war against anybody.
And their weaponry and everything else, their infrastructure has collapsed.
Now, there was a hope that the Persian people would rise up as they did in 1979.
And this dovetails right into my book, Confronting Evil, because we explain how the Shah got overthrown by these Mollahs, and the same thing could happen now.
But when you kill 30,000 people, as the Mullahs did, 30,000.
And people are scared over there.
So it doesn't look like the regime change coming from within is going to happen.
But certainly, and there is no question.
May I disagree with you on that?
I think, you know, Trump has, he is still bombing.
And from what I understand, we are now just starting to encourage them.
He said, stay in your homes.
It's too dangerous.
And they were now just starting to encourage them to come out.
So I would say give that a week.
It's very hard.
Look, in 1945, the German people were getting pounded from every area, and they still didn't rise up against Hitler because the SS would have killed him, shot him down the streets.
So you're facing 30,000 dead in Iran.
Everybody knows somebody who got killed.
But let's pray that it does happen.
It's possible, but it's not as possible as the victory over Iran's military mechanism.
That is assured.
So what does the country become then?
Just this dictatorship that still is brutal, but it doesn't have the reach?
Well, the wargaming is this.
And again, I don't think I'm giving anything away.
So the war gaming that's coming out of the Pentagon is that Iran is going to, and they may have already done this, ask for a resumption of negotiations.
Okay?
And I think that will happen.
And it could happen anytime.
And so they'll trot over to Geneva and they'll hammer at a deal where the theocracy stays there, but at a much lesser rate that they promise to do X, Y, and Z. Of course, they'll break their promises.
We all know they will.
But they'll be humiliated to the extent that they'll be weakened.
And then Trump will go in like Venezuela and basically run the show.
And the CIA and the American intel will basically tell the Iranians, you can do this, but you can't do that.
And the sweetener will be, you know, we'll rebuild your economy, particularly your oil economy.
We'll spend the money to rebuild that infrastructure.
Remember, that infrastructure is being torn apart now.
So the Iranian people, you know, it's going to be like Cuba.
What are we going to have to eat today?
So that is one of the likely scenarios that the Mollahs themselves will ask to come to the table.
And then Trump, of course, would say, okay, but you're going to have to accede to everything we want.
Let me take a quick break and come back with Bill O'Reilly.
He's starting a new show today called We'll Do It Live.
It's Bill O'Reilly and Rob Schneider, which should be just a scream.
BillO'Reilly.com.
That's billorilly.com.
Going to come back, Bill, and I want to continue our conversation on this, but I also want to expand it to Cuba and what is happening in Cuba right now.
How do you see that playing out?
More in just a second.

One agent will walk through a place, you know, and it feels like a checklist.
Here are the bedrooms, a square footage next house.
Another agent walks through that same front door and suddenly you're seeing something different.
They're pointing out the way the light hits the kitchen in the morning.
They know the story of the neighborhood.
They can tell you why the homes on this street sell faster than the ones two blocks over.
Same house, same price, completely different experience.
That is what we look for in an agent.
Great real estate agents don't just open doors.
They're part negotiator.
They're part market analyst.
They're part strategist.
Somebody who knows how to position a home so it sells well.

Name says it all.
It's realestate agentsitrust.com.
10 seconds station id so bill let's look around the globe I mean, it is an amazing time to be alive right now.
The president, one thing about President Trump, I realized when he went into Iraq, I realized I could never be president of the United States because I would never have the guts to do some of the stuff that he has done that I think is probably the right decision.
But, you know, like you said, it affects not only 350 million Americans, it affects everybody on the planet.
Some of the things that he's doing.
And that change is remarkable.
The change in Venezuela, the possible change in Cuba.
What do you see happening with Cuba?
Well, Cuba is going to fold and we'll run the country.
And there'll be an enormous amount of money going out of Dade County, Florida, into Havana.
That's already underway.
Wait, when you say we're going to run it, you mean Marco Rubio is going to run it?
The State Department will run it.
Just like they're doing in Venezuela.
Venezuela and Caracas, they can't do anything without getting permission.
And then it'll be the same thing in Havana, and it'll be another deal.
So they'll fold up the communism apparatus.
The United States will promise to redevelop a lot of the industries in Cuba.
The Cuban people will be dancing around the street.
They'll dismantle the secret police.
And they'll be a satellite of the United States.
That's going to happen.
And when you say we're going to run it, should we be running those countries?
Is this a long-term thing?
Is this like a Puerto Rico thing?
What do these states become?
Well, it depends on who the next president is and then down the lane.
But Trump's vision is that the United States controls the Western Hemisphere.
He's obviously stated that.
And that we're not going to tolerate unfriendly governments and governments that are harming Americans, like the drug cartel people.
And we're just going to run the show here.
That's what it is.
So how long that lasts depends on what administration is there and all.
But Cuba is not a difficult place to run.
And that place has got unbelievable.
I was there a few years ago.
Unbelievable beaches.
And I mean, it'll be Vegas South.
And so that's what's going to happen there.
But once you get into the Middle East, it's way more complicated.
But you're asking good questions because the world is changing now.
And here's a tip on it.
So Trump is going to go to Beijing at the end of March.
And I've been involved with that.
As you may know, I was over in Beijing in May and talking to the Politburo over there at their request because they watch me on YouTube and they know that I have access to President Trump.
So anyway, you haven't heard China say a word about this Iran thing.
And China gets a lot of its oil from Iran.
You would think they'd be screaming and yelling.
They haven't said a word.
What does that say?
It says a deal has already been made between the United States and China to supply China with oil.
They'll buy our oil.
They'll buy Venezuelan oil.
So Trump's vision is that we are such an economic power here in America that we have to run the show now because no one else will.
I mean, Europe's cowardly.
Spain, are you kidding me?
I don't think I'll ever go to Spain again.
They won't let U.S. planes refuel there?
Are you kidding me?
I mean, that's just spitting in our face.
I tell you, the world has divided, and you're seeing a new Axis and allied powers.
I mean, all of the old allies are being reassessed everywhere.

Thanks for having me.
All right.
Let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
For most of us, history feels like something that happened a long time ago.
You read it in books.
You see it in documentaries and moments that are distant from your own life.
But sometimes history is happening right now.
We are living in history.
Whether it turns out well or poorly depends on what people choose to do in any given moment.
The people of Israel are living through one of those moments right now, especially with the war in Iran that is heating up.
Families who are already living a very difficult part of the world and difficult times in their world now have the daily reality of rocket attacks and uncertainty and the kind of fear that most of us can only imagine if we even think about it at all.
That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists.
For decades, they have built a bridge between Christians and the Jewish families in Israel and around the world, providing food and shelter and security and life-saving aid when people need it the most.

You do not want to miss it.

It's a week from tonight on Glennbeck.com slash torch.
And it is the blueprints of the destruction of the West, the Islamic Blueprints for the Destruction of the West.
And we take you through it, and we have all kinds of experts.
Have done literally probably what three or four months worth of research just for this 90-minute special.
It's a live documentary.
Um, and uh, we have really tried to up our game.
You know, he was doing these weekly specials, and then we could get them really good, but we couldn't get them exactly right because we just never had the time because we were churning them out, you know, every week.
And I wanted to take a deeper look so I could go what we call internally a deep dive on certain subjects.
And so, this first deep dive is on the blueprints of how Islam is planning on taking over.
The Islamists are planning on Sharia law throughout the world, and America is a prime target.
Remember, we're the great Satan.
Let me, you know, let me hear, let me give you this.
Here is a Chicago Islamist.
He is a Islamic scholar, and he is explaining why Islamists are coming to America.
Cut seven.
This is Chicago.
Listen: Islam did not come to coexist, and Islam is raised high, and nothing is raised above Islam.
We can't think of Islam that it came to live with these other religions in the sense that Islam is a religion amongst those religions, and they have a share with the truth, and they have a share of justice.
Islam came to correct all of that, Islam came to remove all those religions, and it is the only truth, and it is the only way to justice.
Now, let me ask you, if this were being said by a political person that is engaged in, you know, in advocacy, and he was Christian, and he said, Christianity is here.
It's above all other religions, and it will wipe out all other religions and replace all other religions.
And that is why Christians are here in America to destroy and correct all other religions.
Do you think the media would be on it?
Do you think the media would be on it?
The answer is, of course, they would.
Of course, they would.
They seem to be able to handle any kind of religious extremism unless it's just ordinary Christians who are like, yeah, we're going to have a prayer meeting in the Capitol.
Let me give you something else.
New York City's first Muslim mayor, Mamdani, hosted a traditional Iftar dinner on Thursday in the historic blue.
Sorry?
Yeah, oh, sorry, sorry, yesterday.
I got my days all screwed up.
Anyway, in the blue room with Muslim influencers featuring prayer rugs and floor-to-floor, you know, floor seating amid all the American flags and the George Washington portrait and everything else.
And I want to play a video of what happened at this Iftar dinner Wednesday in the blue room.
Here it is.
Okay.
So what's happening here?
He's having this prayer dinner with everybody.
Not a problem.
Except he was just recently.
Do we have the video of him speaking at the mosque?
Just recently, he was speaking at a mosque that's been linked to the, what is it, the Al Avi Foundation, which the DOJ has accused being affront for the Iranian government.
He just spoke there.
And if we have the audio, can you play the prayer?
Here's the audio.
Last Ramadan, I was with many of you here at the procession on the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali.
It is a privilege to be here with you once again.
I stand before you as the first Muslim mayor in our city's history.
And this here is the first Jum'ah that I have attended in that new position.
Snappy number that they've performed.
Okay, so what is that?
What is the Imam reciting here?
You know, it's not a Frank Sinatra hit.
It is something called the sword verse.
It's from the Quran.
It's the verse that calls for the death of all infidels by the sword.
And Mamdani is standing there listening to this, knowing what it is.
Okay.
Jason, you just finished up some of the interviews and the pre-interviews that we have for the special next week.
And these are all experts on this.
And you asked him about Mamdani.
What was the general feeling on him?
Some of the experts that we interviewed for this, some of them were Muslims as well, like more on the line of like reformist Muslims.
They're all against political Islam.
But not only between the Muslim experts that we talked to and the others, every single one of them that I asked said that, yes, he is an Islamist.
Yes, there is something else going on here.
And I did not expect that at all.
Well, if you remember right, who was it?
Sarsour?
Linda Sarsour, who is a deep Islamist or involved with deep Islamists.
She said, how do you think he got in?
He got in with our money, and he is going to be executing our philosophies or there will be hell to be paid.
So, I mean, she admitted that that's how he got in.
And everybody is, listen to how, okay, so they just had the prayer rug meeting.
Let me see if I can get the this is from the New York Times in February.
Mamdani ushers in a new tradition, Ramadan in City Hall.
Ramadan also comes at a particularly fraught time for Muslim immigrants who fear being targeted by federal agents while gathering for prayers or iftar dinners.
Show me the iftar dinner that has been targeted by federal agents because I'll stand with you.
I'll stand with you.
Show me one.
Show me one in New York Times.
But the allies of Mr. Mamdani are hoping this year's Ramadan could inspire more pride among the city's Muslims who after the September 11th attacks have had to contend with heightened surveillance, harassment, and increased Islamophobia.
You got to be kidding me.
That includes Mr. Mamdani.
He has endured such hell.
That man has endured such hell that he has had to go vacation at his parents' very wealthy compound in other countries.
He has come back only to be so oppressed that he becomes the mayor of New York City.
Oh my gosh, what a horrible life this man has led.
He's faced an onslaught of faith and ethnicity-based attacks during the mayoral campaign.
He has expressed concern that current political climate has made Muslim New Yorkers less safe.
Right.
You mean kind of like those Muslim New Yorkers that just tried to kill a bunch of protesters?
Oh, no, wait.
Those were anti-Muslim protesters that they were trying to kill.
This period of piety as mayor could present the opportunity to showcase the realities of fasting and living one's faith as a political leader.
New York Times, show me the other time that a Christian has had their political views as a political leader, their religious views married in that you said, you know, the realities, we should showcase the realities of fasting and living one's Christian faith as a political leader.
You can't show me either of those things because you never ever do that.
I can't take it.
And that's, in a nutshell, what this special is going to be like if I don't learn to, maybe I, maybe I'll need a tranquilizer dart just off the stage.
And somebody like Ricky who has more control can just shoot me with a dart in my neck halfway through the show because I think I might lose it.
Burn a launcher coming in hot.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
This is this when, when America, when will the majority of us stand up and say, I don't hate anybody.
I don't hate anybody.
But you're not taking over our culture.
You're not taking over our country.
If you want to believe that, believe that.
But you're not jamming it down our, I was going to say our necks.
You try the throat, but if you have a head, they'll just jam it down your neck after they behead you with it.
No, it is absolutely incompatible with Western society.
It is incompatible.
You know, let me just give you something.
Let's just go through the Ten Commandments here.
Let me go through the Ten Commandments.
Judeo-Christian belief.
No gods, no gods.
You'll have no gods before me.
We believe that.
Okay, as Christians.
Now, you may not, because you may not be a Christian.
You may not believe in, you know, religion or whatever.
But Judeo-Christian values, which is what we're based on.
And by the way, that doesn't mean necessarily, you know, you can't have Ralph, your Wednesday God.
It means what gods do you serve?
Your mortgage, your job, your reputation?
What is it that you serve?
Because whatever it is that you spend all your time on, all your attention on, that's the God you serve.
Okay.
So Islamists believe it too, except, I mean, it's a little different because they believe in genies and jinns.
Now, as a recovering alcoholic, I believe in jinn too, but it's not the same kind.
No graven images.
Yep, we both believe that.
No use of God's name in vain.
We believe that.
They don't.
Remember the Sabbath.
Yep.
Honor your father and mother.
Yep.
Thou shalt not murder.
Yep.
Except if you're an infidel.
If you're an infidel, then I can murder you.
You shall not commit adultery.
Yep.
Well, actually, not for everybody.
Guys can have as many wives as they want.
And you know what?
If that's an infidel and she just looks sexy because she's trying to trick me, might be a genie.
She's trying to trick me into it.
I can rape her, but that's not adultery.
That's just her sin, not mine.
Thou shalt not steal.
Yep.
Well, not the Islamist.
You know, if you're an infidel, I can steal from you.
Shall not bear false witness.
Yep.
Well, unless you're an Islamist, then, you know, I can lie to you.
You know, if you're an infidel.
You shall not covet your neighbor's house.
Yep, except for, well, the infidels.
So you see, it's not really the same thing.
It's not the same God.
God has standard rules.
Not, hey, if you believe in me, then you're good.
If you don't believe in me, you could rape them.
Sure.
Incompatible with Western civilization.

Dog Nutrition Special00:03:36
Back in a minute.
Tell you about rough greens.
If dogs could talk, it would be weird, wouldn't it?
They would also probably have a few things to say about what you're feeding them.
Not complaints, exactly.
Questions like, really?
This is it?
I mean, same bowl, same kibble every day, forever.
If you think about, if you think about what we feed our dog, it's most dry food, and it's designed for shelf life and convenience.
It's not necessarily anything really that your dog's body might benefit from.
I mean, it'll fill them up, but where's the nutrition?
Rough greens.
This is where it comes in.
Rough greens, not a dog food.
It's a nutritional supplement you sprinkle right on top of your dog's existing food.
It makes it taste better.
They love it.
But it's also designed to add many of the vitamins and minerals and nutrients that are missing from processed kibble back into their food.
So your dog still gets the food that they're used to, but with a lot more nutrition in the bowl.
And I think it tastes better.
Whatever is in it, they love it.
For a lot of dog owners, it's just a simple change that can make a big difference in their dog's energy, the coat, the way they behave, how their body is working, whether they're honestly stinking up the house with their stinky dog farts or not.
Rough greens.
I mean, it's a miracle on that front.

Glenn Beck is our Thank you so much for listening today.
Let me get a quick recap on the poll.
Ricky was yelling at me earlier because I said something right after Mike Lee.
Mike had nothing to do with it.
And I just, I started going off on Jon Thune.
Worthless piece of crap when it comes to getting anything done in Congress.
And Ricky was like, you know, that's probably why you don't get Jon Thune on the air.
Okay, you're rewriting history.
You said, was I too harsh on Jon Thune?
And I said, no, I didn't say that.
You're rewriting history.
What I said was that probably wasn't the thing to say with Mike Lee on the phone.
Did I hurt Mike Lee with John Thune?
Okay, maybe you're right.
But yeah, we took a poll and you're still winning.
But because the poll was.
How should Glenn approach his insults about Rhino Congress members?
87% said burn it all down.
No holds barred.
13% agree with me.
We shouldn't burn bridges so we can interview them and then burn them on air.
Dracarius!
Burn it all down.
Jason, quick comments from the insiders.
The top three comments.
Number one, come on, baby, light my fire.
Number two, burn, baby, burn.
And number three, the best one ever, Disco Inferno.
