=== Back Pain Becomes Routine (04:33) ===

[00:00:00]  You know what's strange about back pain?
[00:00:01]  It usually doesn't show up with blaring sirens and crashing cymbals.
[00:00:05]  It just sort of becomes a part of your daily routine.
[00:00:08]  And before you realize, you've totally changed.
[00:00:10]  You sit a little more carefully than you used to.
[00:00:12]  You avoid certain movements.
[00:00:14]  You get up slower.
[00:00:15]  You plan your day around what your spine might decide to do.
[00:00:20]  That's not the way it's supposed to be.
[00:00:23]  Here's the reality.
[00:00:24]  The chirp contour is designed for that exact kind of everyday wear and tear.
[00:00:30]  Long hours sitting, sleeping wrong, working too hard, sometimes not moving enough.
[00:00:36]  It uses targeted spinal decompression, deep massage and pressure, optimal heat to help you and your back actually relax and reset.
[00:00:44]  You lie down automatically, it adjusts to your back, and it does all the work for you.
[00:00:48]  No guessing, no twisting yourself into positions that feel like a yoga class gone wrong.
[00:00:52]  This is really great.
[00:00:53]  I use it all the time.

[00:01:01]  Hello, America.
[00:01:02]  You know, we've been fighting every single day.

[00:01:15]  But to keep this fight going, we need you.

[00:01:30]  This isn't a podcast.
[00:01:32]  This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it.
[00:01:35]  So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

[00:01:42]  Together, we'll make a difference.
[00:01:44]  And thanks for standing with us.
[00:01:45]  Now let's get to work.
[00:02:35]  This is the Glenn Beck program.
[00:02:39]  Glenn Beck is on.
[00:02:41]  Hello, America.
[00:02:42]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[00:02:43]  I believe there is no such thing as a coincidence.
[00:02:46]  You are here for a reason, and I hope to be an answer to that reason for you.
[00:02:52]  I want to draw a picture of America using six different news stories today that you might have read about, and everybody will tell you that they're separate, they're not connected, they're all connected.
[00:03:03]  And what do they say about us?
[00:03:05]  The news of the day, what picture is it painting?
[00:03:09]  We begin there in 60 seconds.
[00:03:11]  First, let me tell you about Leaf Filter.
[00:03:13]  The annoying home problems, you know, oh my gosh, they just never, ever, ever stop.
[00:03:21]  Can we stop with the problems at the house, please?
[00:03:25]  Here's one.
[00:03:26]  You can stop with gutters.
[00:03:28]  You know, most of the time they're out of sight, they're out of mind, but when they fill up with leaves, then the rainwater stops flowing away and it starts flowing right into your foundation and your siding in your basement.
[00:03:41]  A lot of people have to deal with that by climbing up a ladder a few times a year, cleaning them out, but that's not really the solution.
[00:03:46]  It's a chore that you're just going to be doing forever.
[00:03:48]  And I hate yours.
[00:03:50]  I've got enough George in my life.
[00:03:54]  I'd like to suggest Leaf Filter.
[00:03:56]  Their system is designed to keep leaves and debris out while still allowing water to flow through and away from your home the way it's supposed to.
[00:04:03]  So instead of clogged gutters, you've got no weekend on the ladder.
[00:04:08]  Everything's flowing and you've got your feet up on the couch.
[00:04:12]  Start protecting your home today with LeafFilter, America's number one gutter protection system.

=== Six Stories Connected (13:12) ===

[00:04:33]  Okay, what have I told you?
[00:04:35]  The biggest story in America right now is not just one story.
[00:04:39]  It's six.
[00:04:40]  And maybe not the six that you think.
[00:04:43]  Six different headlines, scattered, unrelated, easy to scroll past.
[00:04:48]  But every single one of them is telling you the same thing.
[00:04:51]  And let me show you, because you'll see it.
[00:04:54]  Once you step back, you'll see it.
[00:04:57]  Right now, you're being told stories about fraud, about courts, about China, about crime, about debt, about war.
[00:05:05]  And they all seem separate, but they are not.
[00:05:08]  They are one story.
[00:05:09]  And the story, it's a story about the system itself.
[00:05:17]  We know, quietly, buried, almost as an afterthought, that the U.S. intelligence had evidence, Joe Biden had evidence, that China was accessing now American voter registration data in 2020.
[00:05:34]  We now know this to be true.
[00:05:36]  We have the evidence.
[00:05:37]  We have the documents.
[00:05:39]  And it was hidden.
[00:05:40]  And it was hidden from members of Congress, hidden from the people.
[00:05:45]  Now think about this.
[00:05:46]  This is not a conspiracy theory.
[00:05:48]  This is not a guess.
[00:05:49]  This is a conspiracy fact.
[00:05:52]  It's known and it was filed away and ignored.
[00:05:55]  And while the country argued about everything else at the same exact time, now a new national fraud task force is being launched.
[00:06:06]  First story, number one.
[00:06:10]  We have voter fraud.
[00:06:11]  We knew about it.
[00:06:12]  China was hacking all of our voter data in 2020.
[00:06:19]  No one knew about it.
[00:06:21]  I'm sorry.
[00:06:22]  Some people knew about it.
[00:06:24]  They didn't tell anybody else.
[00:06:25]  And they told us this is the safest election ever.
[00:06:29]  Story number two.
[00:06:30]  There is so much fraud in this country that I believe if we found even half of it, we would balance the budget.
[00:06:39]  Stop.
[00:06:41]  Sit with this for a second.
[00:06:42]  We are $39 trillion in debt.
[00:06:47]  And the claim is not that we need to grow our way out or cut our spending, but that the money is already there.
[00:06:55]  It's just being stolen.
[00:07:04]  New task force started.
[00:07:06]  Donald Trump says he's going to get to the bottom of it.
[00:07:12]  He's got JD Vance on it.
[00:07:14]  I'm going to go into this story.
[00:07:16]  I'm going to expand on all of these stories.
[00:07:18]  Okay.
[00:07:23]  But the question is, is our money being stolen?
[00:07:27]  Is our money being lost?
[00:07:29]  Is it hidden?
[00:07:32]  I think we need to know.
[00:07:33]  Are we being robbed or are we just going broke?
[00:07:39]  I think we should know that because those are two different things, two different countries.
[00:07:44]  And while that question now hangs in the air, let me give you the third story.
[00:07:49]  The Supreme Court is quietly, patiently reconsidering something most Americans have never even heard of.
[00:07:54]  It's called qualified immunity, a doctrine in plain English that means government officials can violate your rights and you can't do anything about it unless someone else has already been violated in exactly the same way.
[00:08:13]  I mean, exactly the same way.
[00:08:15]  Now think about that standard.
[00:08:18]  Not was it wrong, but has this exact wrong been done before and then written down?
[00:08:28]  That's the standard.
[00:08:31]  That's been the standard now for a couple of decades.
[00:08:34]  Why?
[00:08:35]  Why?
[00:08:36]  That's the Constitution protecting the government, not protecting you and your rights.
[00:08:44]  So at the exact same moment that we're discovering possible foreign access to our elections in 2020, massive systematic fraud, exploding debt, the one question that actually matters is, will anyone be held accountable?
[00:09:01]  Well, the answer, until now, has largely been no.
[00:09:09]  This isn't just happening in Washington.
[00:09:12]  It's happening on your street.
[00:09:14]  Listen to this story.
[00:09:16]  In Las Vegas, police refused to release a violent offender.
[00:09:20]  35 arrests.
[00:09:24]  Manslaughter.
[00:09:25]  Conviction.
[00:09:27]  A judge said, release him.
[00:09:30]  The police said, not on your life.
[00:09:36]  The judge said, well, I'll hold you in contempt.
[00:09:39]  They said, go ahead, hold us in contempt.
[00:09:44]  Excuse me, what's happening here?
[00:09:46]  You understand how extraordinary this is?
[00:09:49]  This is not a policy disagreement.
[00:09:51]  This is the system breaking in real time.
[00:09:55]  Because when the people inside the system stop trusting the system, they have to start choosing something else.
[00:10:06]  Survival.
[00:10:10]  And all of this is happening, all of this is happening while the world outside our borders is shifting just as fast.
[00:10:17]  The United States is now asking our allies to stand with it in one of the most critical choke points on earth, the Straits of Hormuz.
[00:10:24]  Okay, now this part I love, because what is Donald Trump doing?
[00:10:27]  Donald Trump is doing what he did to the Democrats at the State of the Union.
[00:10:33]  We don't need Europe.
[00:10:35]  What does Germany have?
[00:10:36]  One ship?
[00:10:38]  France, he said yesterday, France is helping.
[00:10:41]  And I love this quote from Donald Trump, but it's France.
[00:10:45]  But the UK won't help.
[00:10:47]  What is he doing?
[00:10:48]  He's saying, I don't need your help.
[00:10:50]  We don't need your help.
[00:10:51]  But you're our ally, right?
[00:10:53]  And the world's oil is at stake.
[00:10:56]  You want to send down some help to help us guard the Strait of Hormuz?
[00:11:01]  And they're saying no.
[00:11:03]  No, not our war, not our problem.
[00:11:05]  Germany, the UK, stepping back, not leading in.
[00:11:10]  Well, wait a minute.
[00:11:11]  What is our alliance all about?
[00:11:14]  NATO, partnerships, unity.
[00:11:16]  That's what we always have heard.
[00:11:18]  Now when it matters, hesitation, distance, excuses.
[00:11:21]  So let me line these six stories up for you, because here's where it all starts to change if you look at it from a distance.
[00:11:29]  We have a system that is compromised and China is accessing our voter data and nobody in Washington told you or the lawmakers about it.
[00:11:40]  We have a system that is corrupted, massive fraud draining our resources.
[00:11:45]  Somebody is stealing.
[00:11:46]  Do we know who?
[00:11:47]  We have a system that is mathematically unsustainable, $39 trillion in debt.
[00:11:55]  We have a system that avoids accountability, qualified immunity.
[00:12:01]  We have a system now breaking down locally, police defying courts to protect citizens, and a system losing global cohesion.
[00:12:12]  Our allies stepping back in real time.
[00:12:15]  What is happening here?
[00:12:17]  Because this isn't politics.
[00:12:19]  This isn't left versus right.
[00:12:20]  This is not even policy.
[00:12:22]  This is structural.
[00:12:25]  This is what happens when the things you were told were solid are liquid.
[00:12:32]  And everything starts to shift.
[00:12:34]  Everything starts to move.
[00:12:36]  So here's what you need to think about.
[00:12:39]  When the people you listen to or watch stand too close to the news, they can't see the actual picture.
[00:12:48]  It's hard.
[00:12:49]  It's hard to see the real picture because human nature tells you, look away.
[00:12:54]  It's called the normalcy bias.
[00:12:55]  Just these are separate stories.
[00:12:57]  Don't look at them.
[00:12:58]  But when you see a story, you think it's bad but not connected.
[00:13:03]  In reality, they are connected.
[00:13:05]  Each dot makes up a picture.
[00:13:10]  And a picture like this doesn't happen all at once.
[00:13:12]  It happens slowly.
[00:13:13]  It happens quietly.
[00:13:15]  It happens individually.
[00:13:17]  And each piece is explainable in itself.
[00:13:20]  So every story by itself is dismissible until one day you realize they were never separate stories at all.
[00:13:28]  They were all what?
[00:13:31]  They're not stories.
[00:13:33]  They're signals.
[00:13:35]  They're sirens.
[00:13:36]  They're warnings.
[00:13:39]  And now here we are.
[00:13:42]  The moment where you have to decide when you're looking at the news, what am I actually looking at?
[00:13:50]  Am I looking at now these stories because all of them are being uncovered?
[00:13:57]  So that means the government is actually starting to do its job and uncovering these things.
[00:14:02]  So is this a correction?
[00:14:05]  Is the system finally cleaning itself up?
[00:14:08]  Finally confronting fraud, confronting corruption, restoring accountability, having our allies take a stand one way or another?
[00:14:18]  Or is this what it looks like when a system begins to lose control of itself?
[00:14:26]  Because empires don't collapse because of one event.
[00:14:30]  They collapse because trust erodes, systems fail, accountability completely disappears, and people stop believing.
[00:14:40]  And when that happens, you don't get chaos overnight.
[00:14:44]  You get something more dangerous.
[00:14:45]  You get drift.
[00:14:47]  Institutions that drift apart.
[00:14:49]  Allies drift away.
[00:14:51]  Truth drifts out of reach.
[00:14:53]  And the average person sitting at the kitchen table looking at the bills, looking at the headlines, looking at the world says, something's not right.
[00:15:00]  I don't know what it is.
[00:15:01]  I can't take it anymore.
[00:15:06]  because you've stopped believing when you stop looking at all of the stories as broken up and separate stories and you look at them at one yes it can be overwhelming but then the answer is clearer The question is, what is this moment?
[00:15:28]  Because if this is a correction and we lean into it, we fix it.
[00:15:33]  We demand the truth.
[00:15:34]  We rebuild.
[00:15:37]  But if this is collapsed, then the most dangerous thing we can do is pretend it's normal.
[00:15:43]  So what is the solution?
[00:15:45]  There's the picture in six stories.
[00:15:48]  What's the solution?
[00:15:50]  The solution is wake up if you're not awake, wake up and recognize where we are in history.
[00:15:58]  Look at the two choices in front of us.
[00:16:01]  Are we correcting it?
[00:16:02]  Because there is a movement to correct it right now.
[00:16:06]  Are you part of that movement?
[00:16:09]  Or are you part of the movement that says, I just can't do anything about it, just let it slide.
[00:16:14]  It's over.
[00:16:15]  I know which side I've chosen.
[00:16:19]  I demand we tear down the corruption while others try to tear down the system.
[00:16:26]  We tear down the corruption.
[00:16:29]  I demand we believe that this country is worth saving and taking the steps every day to preserve her principles in our own families, in our own neighborhood, in our own town, in our own state.
[00:16:41]  There's six stories, six stories today.
[00:16:44]  That's all it is.
[00:16:45]  Six headlines.
[00:16:48]  But if you read them separately, you're not going to get it.
[00:16:51]  When you see them together, those six stories become everything.
[00:16:57]  More in a minute.
[00:16:59]  Somebody out there right now knows your full name, your address, date of birth, your social security number, because so much of your personal information is floating around in dark corners of the internet.
[00:17:08]  You can be living a normal life, going to work, paying your bills, mining your own business, while somebody you've never met is trying to open credit cards, apply for loans, or even commit crimes using your name.
[00:17:19]  You may not find out until the damage is already done.
[00:17:22]  And that's why services like LifeLock exist.
[00:17:24]  Lifelock monitors millions of data points every second for signs that your identity is being used in ways it shouldn't be, like new accounts being opened up in your name or somebody using your information in a way that could impact your credit.
[00:17:36]  And if you do become a victim, LifeLock provides access to a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist who will work to fix the problem or your money back.
[00:17:45]  So protect yourself with Lifelock.

[00:17:56]  lifelock.com promo code Beck 10 seconds station ID uh let me play a quick little game of who'd we kill last night and uh bring in Jason Jason, we killed two big leaders in Iran last night or yesterday.
[00:18:26]  Can you tell me who they were?
[00:18:28]  Yeah, so the first big one was a man named Larenjani, which is not an easy name to pronounce, but Larenjani was pretty much under the old...
[00:18:38]  Wait, which leader are we under, right?
[00:18:39]  It's getting hard to keep track of all the leaders, but the original one, Khomeini, he was probably number two right underneath Khomeini.
[00:18:49]  You might want to, you might want to, because of now the information that's coming out about his son, you might want to not use the phrase underneath.
[00:19:00]  Just want to just point that out.
[00:19:05]  I'm not going to be able to.
[00:19:06]  Okay, all right.
[00:19:07]  Let's go ahead.
[00:19:08]  Tell me about Mr. Laryngitis or whatever his name is because he's not speaking anymore.
[00:19:11]  So we'll just call him that.
[00:19:13]  Yeah, it's Larajani.
[00:19:15]  He was number two right underneath Khomeini.
[00:19:17]  And then right when Khomeini got taken out, a lot of people thought there was going to be a power struggle no matter who they declared to be the leader.
[00:19:23]  They always thought that Laranjani was going to be the one that was pulling the strings behind the fact.
[00:19:28]  And it was really interesting that he was not in that first weekish period of time where he was not targeted.
[00:19:34]  They probably just could not find him.
[00:19:36]  I do not know how they ended up finding him now, but he has now been confirmed to be taking out yesterday.
[00:19:43]  So that is a big, big blow to the core of the IRGC fanaticals.
[00:19:48]  He's one of the original OGs of the IRGC.
[00:19:52]  So that is a big, big get.
[00:19:53]  They also took out the head of the besieged forces.
[00:19:56]  So the besieged forces are the security forces inside Iran, and they would be the people that are sending out security forces to put down any uprising if the, as the Crown Prince told you, the boots on the ground, the Iranian demonstrators, when they do actually come out, he is a big hit to the effort to stop them.
[00:20:16]  So big, big developments last night.
[00:20:18]  I feel like there's huge developments almost every single day, but that is the pace of the war, and it's a positive for the U.S. Let me bring Ricky in on this too.
[00:20:29]  I'd love to hear your opinions on what's happening with NATO, because I think Donald Trump is just doing what he did at the State of the Union and just revealing to the world, oh, look who stands, look who doesn't.
[00:20:46]  Germany, they want all of our troops.
[00:20:48]  They want all of our money.
[00:20:50]  They want all of our protection.
[00:20:51]  They want us to help them protect against Russia while buying Russian oil.
[00:20:58]  And now we're asking them for a little help down in the Straits of Hormuz.
[00:21:03]  Not just for us, but the Strait of Hormuz, 20% of all of the Earth's oil that we use every day goes through that strait.
[00:21:12]  We just want to have a coalition together and everybody stand together.
[00:21:16]  And they're not doing it.
[00:21:18]  And I think he's using this to make the point.
[00:21:20]  Ricky, do you agree or disagree with that?
[00:21:23]  Yeah, he's being framed in the media, though, as being revealed to be alone.
[00:21:30]  The U.S. stands alone.
[00:21:31]  How embarrassing that the U.S. is all alone in their war when Trump this whole time said, we don't need NATO.
[00:21:39]  But you're right.
[00:21:39]  I think he is revealing that NATO has no clothes.
[00:21:43]  We don't need NATO.
[00:21:44]  And by the way, we're alone.
[00:21:46]  Did you see the story in Al Jazeera?
[00:21:50]  That, by the way, is Qatar.
[00:21:53]  For anybody who is in love with Qatar, you might want to check because Qatar in Al Jazeera just ran an article that talked about how this is working, that this is a really good thing for Qatar and the Middle East.
[00:22:09]  And all of the allies of the Middle East are all coming to aid and coming to the conclusion now, this is a great answer to the problems of the Middle East.
[00:22:22]  Yet Europe's not.
[00:22:23]  It is just bizarre, just bizarre.
[00:22:27]  Yeah, what's interesting about that op-ed published by a scholar is that you know that Al Jazeera, which is really run by the government, did not publish that without given free reign.
[00:22:41]  So why?
[00:22:45]  Because I think, I mean, Qatar either takes its orders or gives orders to the Muslim Brotherhood.
[00:22:51]  No matter what anybody says about Qatar, Qatar is not a friendly country.
[00:22:56]  But they run the Muslim Brotherhood or the Muslim Brotherhood is run out of there or the Qatari robes that are running absolutely everything.
[00:23:05]  So this wasn't just one guy going, you know what?
[00:23:08]  We in Qatar love it.
[00:23:11]  This was a signal to the rest of the world.
[00:23:13]  Even the Qataris are on side with this action in Iran.
[00:23:20]  Matt Gray joins us next.
[00:23:21]  First, some of the most expensive mistakes in life don't happen because you made a bad decision.
[00:23:26]  They happen because you trusted the wrong person to help you make a good one.
[00:23:30]  Real estate is full of moments like that.
[00:23:33]  You're buying or selling a house and you're expecting to pick the right agent.
[00:23:36]  Sometimes after just a couple of conversations and a business card, you get that choice wrong.
[00:23:41]  And it will cost you opportunities that slip by because somebody didn't see the market clearly.
[00:23:47]  That's why realestateagentsitrust.com exists.
[00:23:51]  You just tell us where you're buying, where you're selling, and we will sort through all of the names.
[00:23:57]  We have sorted through names for so long here that we've been in business, I don't know, 10 years.
[00:24:02]  We have a proven track record.
[00:24:04]  Our agents are really good.
[00:24:05]  They don't work for me.
[00:24:06]  I just vet them.
[00:24:08]  My team has really, we started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, and we learned from them.
[00:24:16]  And then we started to go out, find people in your area that are like that, that have those same traits.
[00:24:22]  They know the same business practices and are really super honest.
[00:24:25]  They're fans of the show.
[00:24:26]  You're really going to like them.

[00:24:58]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program, and welcome to Mr. Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed.
[00:25:04]  Thank you.
[00:25:05]  Hello, Pat.
[00:25:06]  Hello, Glenn.
[00:25:06]  Love your Ascot today.
[00:25:07]  That's nice.
[00:25:08]  Thank you.
[00:25:11]  It is so cold in this state.
[00:25:14]  It is so cold in this state.
[00:25:16]  And it's supposed to be like 98 on Friday.
[00:25:19]  Yesterday it was 38.
[00:25:21]  Yes.
[00:25:21]  Going to Texas, the weather is like no offense to women, but it's like being married to a crazy woman.
[00:25:30]  You get up every day.
[00:25:32]  Again, no offense to women.
[00:25:32]  But no offense to women.
[00:25:34]  Crazy women.
[00:25:34]  Yes, take offense.
[00:25:35]  But it's like being married to a crazy woman.
[00:25:37]  You get up in the morning.
[00:25:38]  You're like, I don't know what I, I don't even know how to dress.
[00:25:40]  I don't know what I'm in for today.
[00:25:42]  I have no idea.
[00:25:44]  Could be 90, could be one.
[00:25:47]  That's Texas weather.
[00:25:49]  So anyway, how are you?
[00:25:50]  Happy St. Patrick's Day.
[00:25:52]  Yeah, thank you.
[00:25:52]  Sure and big aura.
[00:25:54]  Whatever that means.
[00:25:55]  Yeah.
[00:25:56]  But did you see that the Ayatollah son might be gay?
[00:26:02]  Yes, which is impossible, of course, because there's no gay people in Iran.
[00:26:05]  Right.
[00:26:05]  We know that.
[00:26:07]  Yeah, President Ahmadinejad said, we are a country that has no gay people, mainly because they were throwing off off the roof.
[00:26:14]  Yeah.
[00:26:15]  Oh, you're, oh, it's one of the fairies.
[00:26:17]  Let's see you fly.
[00:26:18]  And they would take them off and throw them off of roofs.
[00:26:21]  And they couldn't fly because that's not the way that works.
[00:26:25]  But then they would behead them or execute them in the public square.
[00:26:28]  So they were thinning them out.
[00:26:30]  What they missed, do you think it was the beard?
[00:26:32]  It might have been.
[00:26:33]  Might have been the beard.
[00:26:34]  It was so manly, that beard.
[00:26:36]  And it's weird that he, it's a beard because it's a beard.
[00:26:42]  He's not apparently really a devout Muslim.
[00:26:46]  He's because he's having sex with men, apparently.
[00:26:49]  And that might be why his dad wasn't that excited about him taking over.
[00:26:53]  You think?
[00:26:54]  Yeah.
[00:26:54]  Yeah.
[00:26:55]  Because he's gay.
[00:26:56]  And that's not a thing.
[00:26:58]  He's not as scary, though.
[00:27:01]  If we could just get him in, you know, like, I am going to give Trump such a hit.
[00:27:06]  Such a hit.
[00:27:06]  Don't even think about it.
[00:27:08]  I was reading some of his father's disturbing lines and I'm thinking they don't ring the same.
[00:27:12]  Like the author and all involved are sentenced to death and I call on all zealous Muslims to execute them wherever they find them.
[00:27:20]  The author and everybody involved, sentenced to death, and I call on zealous Muslim to execute them wherever they find them.
[00:27:28]  I don't think that's a scary.
[00:27:29]  I think this is a step in the right direction.
[00:27:32]  I think it's a step in the right direction.
[00:27:37]  Maybe it's just me.
[00:27:38]  Plus, he could redecorate the palace as well.
[00:27:42]  It needs some redecorating at this point.
[00:27:44]  Yeah.
[00:27:45]  Well, maybe you can make the beard look a little better.
[00:27:47]  Look a little better.
[00:27:48]  Yeah.
[00:27:51]  So what do you think of this?
[00:27:53]  We talked the other day about the war.
[00:27:57]  I am to this place, Pat, where I don't like the endless wars.
[00:28:02]  Yeah.
[00:28:03]  I don't, I don't like war, obviously.
[00:28:06]  I'm not.
[00:28:07]  And we've come a long way in that, right?
[00:28:09]  I used to be.
[00:28:10]  We were all gung-ho about going into Iraq and Afghanistan, and that's just not the case now.
[00:28:15]  Not the case.
[00:28:16]  And I'm torn on this one.
[00:28:18]  I know I wouldn't have had the guts to do it because it's risky.
[00:28:22]  Don't you think this is the riskiest thing you've seen a president do?
[00:28:25]  Yeah.
[00:28:27]  Knowingly step into it.
[00:28:28]  I mean, the riskiest thing was, well, we did it.
[00:28:31]  We hired Biden.
[00:28:32]  That was probably the riskiest thing I've seen anybody do is make him the president of the United States.
[00:28:38]  But for a president, this is probably the most risky thing.
[00:28:41]  I have absolutely no idea if this is going to turn out to World War III.
[00:28:45]  Could.
[00:28:46]  Or it could be one of the greatest things ever done.
[00:28:49]  Could be that too.
[00:28:50]  Right.
[00:28:50]  Yeah.
[00:28:51]  Where do you stand on it?
[00:28:53]  Now that we're in it, I just want to finish the job because it would be horrific, I think, now to leave it undone.
[00:29:01]  I think that might send the wrong message.
[00:29:02]  I think it might.
[00:29:03]  I think so.
[00:29:03]  Yeah, I think we've said that message a time or two, and it didn't turn out well.
[00:29:07]  Really?
[00:29:08]  And so, you know, and President Trump said yesterday that a former president had told him he wished he did it.
[00:29:15]  And I think it was Bill Clinton.
[00:29:17]  And I think that's probably true.
[00:29:18]  I'll bet Bill Clinton wishes he had done this a long time ago.
[00:29:22]  Bill Clinton wanted to go after, remember, he wanted to go after Osama bin Laden.
[00:29:27]  Yeah.
[00:29:27]  Wouldn't let him let him.
[00:29:29]  Right.
[00:29:29]  Wouldn't let him.
[00:29:30]  He went after, bombed the aspirin factory.
[00:29:32]  And then I believe they had a drone targeted him.
[00:29:35]  And the CIA said, no, you can't.
[00:29:37]  It was the CIA or I can't remember.
[00:29:39]  It's one of them said, legally, you can't do that.
[00:29:41]  You can't just drone him.
[00:29:43]  And it's like, hell, I can't.
[00:29:45]  Which is pretty amazing.
[00:29:47]  Really amazing.
[00:29:47]  What have you done?
[00:29:49]  We were droning American citizens in Yemen.
[00:29:52]  I know.
[00:29:52]  And so that's.
[00:29:54]  I know.
[00:29:55]  It's amazing.
[00:29:56]  But I think we have to finish the job now.
[00:29:59]  And I wasn't super excited about going into Iran in the first place and start the bombing campaign.
[00:30:06]  But when they made the case, they kind of won me over with it.
[00:30:11]  What was the case?
[00:30:12]  Because I don't know if I heard the case.
[00:30:14]  Help me out.
[00:30:15]  I don't think I remember the case.
[00:30:16]  Well, the case is kind of that they were again trying to enrich uranium to the point where they're getting.
[00:30:22]  You bought that?
[00:30:22]  Nuclear.
[00:30:23]  Yes, I have to in order to be okay with this.
[00:30:26]  So I mean, I don't know that it's not true.
[00:30:29]  I just can't accept it.
[00:30:30]  I mean, my feeling on that is show me the evidence.
[00:30:33]  Otherwise, I don't want to hear it.
[00:30:34]  Yeah.
[00:30:34]  Because I've been saying that since 2000.
[00:30:38]  I know.
[00:30:38]  And I get it from great sources.
[00:30:40]  And they're all like, Glenn, they are 10 minutes away from creating a bomb.
[00:30:43]  And you're like, we've heard that for a long time.
[00:30:45]  Forever.
[00:30:46]  For 25 years, I've heard that.
[00:30:48]  That by next week, they might have 150,000 nuclear weapons.
[00:30:53]  You're like, really?
[00:30:54]  By next week?
[00:30:55]  We should go in now.
[00:30:57]  And now, so they say this again.
[00:30:59]  Yeah.
[00:30:59]  And, you know.
[00:31:00]  Yeah.
[00:31:01]  And we already did the bombing campaign in last summer.
[00:31:04]  And they said we got it.
[00:31:05]  And they said they got it.
[00:31:06]  Right.
[00:31:07]  So I believed it then.
[00:31:08]  Right.
[00:31:09]  And now I do believe that they could be restarting their program, though.
[00:31:14]  You know who you are, Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz.
[00:31:17]  I do believe.
[00:31:21]  And they've got this.
[00:31:23]  They've had this coming for a long time.
[00:31:25]  I mean, nothing about it.
[00:31:26]  Clear that it's clear they're an enemy.
[00:31:29]  And the difference to me is this president looked to the end first.
[00:31:36]  You know, he put the coalition together in the Middle East, not a bunch of Western countries, but the coalition in the Middle East and is pretty much saying, you guys are going to deal with this.
[00:31:46]  I'm going to come in and I'm going to make them impudent.
[00:31:52]  Sorry, it might be a good thing for the, but I'm going to make sure they can't do any harm and then you guys are going to take care of it.
[00:32:01]  And they seem to be.
[00:32:02]  Did you see the Al Jazeera thing today?
[00:32:04]  No.
[00:32:05]  Al Jazeera just ran an editorial that said, we're with the action in Iran.
[00:32:12]  Oh, wow.
[00:32:12]  Qatar.
[00:32:14]  Wow.
[00:32:14]  Qatar.
[00:32:15]  Al Jazeera.
[00:32:16]  Could be because Iran keeps attacking them.
[00:32:19]  Maybe that's part of it.
[00:32:20]  Yeah, it could be.
[00:32:20]  And everybody else.
[00:32:21]  I mean, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates.
[00:32:26]  Why are you attacking Dubai?

=== Arab World Turns On Them (06:53) ===

[00:32:28]  What is that about?
[00:32:29]  It's killed like seven people in Dubai.
[00:32:33]  Yes.
[00:32:34]  I mean, you know, we've killed, we've had seven of our soldiers.
[00:32:37]  I think that's the latest count that I heard.
[00:32:39]  Seven, seven.
[00:32:41]  They've had seven citizens killed in Dubai.
[00:32:44]  That's a pretty big deal.
[00:32:45]  It is.
[00:32:46]  And it's tough to support a country that's doing that to you.
[00:32:49]  So I guess that's probably not really surprising that the Arab world is starting to turn on them.
[00:32:55]  Let me play the American think tank that is Joy Reed.
[00:33:01]  Oh, geez.
[00:33:02]  Oh, man.
[00:33:03]  Play her view here on Iran.
[00:33:06]  Our regime has secret police.
[00:33:08]  They have secret police.
[00:33:09]  Our regime is oppressing women, taking away abortion rights, taking away women's rights in like 26 countries, 26 states, some states where they're trying to have the death penalty for having an abortion.
[00:33:19]  They also oppress women.
[00:33:21]  They have the highest rate of women who are in STEM careers.
[00:33:24]  We're kicking women out of the military, out of university.
[00:33:28]  We're saying that DEI means women can't be hired for high positions in the sciences.
[00:33:34]  So we're marginally better and we're doing it for Christianity.
[00:33:37]  They're doing it for Islam, right?
[00:33:39]  So it's like we don't get told those things because it would take away the kind of American exceptionalism narrative.
[00:33:47]  I don't think I've ever heard anybody that wrong in one sentence.
[00:33:51]  I know.
[00:33:51]  I mean, it just went on and on.
[00:33:53]  It was a run-on sentence, so there was a lot to digest there, but she was wrong on everything.
[00:33:59]  We're marginally better on women.
[00:34:02]  Let's have a conversation with the women of the Middle East.
[00:34:05]  Let's have a conversation with the women who are in the streets here in America celebrating that are Iranian, celebrating what we're doing over in Iran.
[00:34:16]  And let's talk to those people, Joy.
[00:34:18]  Let's see what they say and compare America to the Middle East.
[00:34:22]  Did you see the video of the Iranians celebrating in Iran?
[00:34:27]  Yeah.
[00:34:28]  When we were bombing, they were still in their homes and you could hear the celebrating and somebody recorded it.
[00:34:34]  It was, I think, like the night or maybe two nights after the original bombing campaign.
[00:34:39]  And they were celebrating the death of the Ayatollah then because they're so done with what's going on there.
[00:34:46]  What I'm waiting for, and I hope we get to see this.
[00:34:49]  I'm waiting for when the president or whoever says, go, go out in the streets tonight, go out in the streets.
[00:34:56]  And they go out to protest in the streets.
[00:34:59]  And as they're walking down a street, you see the IRGC at the end of the street.
[00:35:04]  And then a drone flies over the top of the crowd and blows up the IRGC.
[00:35:11]  You do that one time.
[00:35:14]  And that will, that changes the world.
[00:35:16]  Nobody's ever done that before.
[00:35:18]  That would be game-changing historically.
[00:35:20]  Nobody's ever done that before.
[00:35:22]  But you imagine IRGC would crap their pants.
[00:35:26]  Anytime there was anybody out on the street, you do that a couple of times.
[00:35:29]  Oh, really?
[00:35:30]  You think you're going to round these people up?
[00:35:31]  Yeah.
[00:35:32]  We're here.
[00:35:33]  Yeah.
[00:35:33]  I mean, that would send quite a message.
[00:35:35]  Why to the Iranian people, too?
[00:35:38]  Yeah.
[00:35:39]  That we really are standing with them.
[00:35:42]  Yeah.
[00:35:42]  I wonder if it's going to happen.
[00:35:44]  Have you been watching Cuba?
[00:35:46]  I've been listening to the president on Cuba.
[00:35:48]  What do you think is going to happen there?
[00:35:51]  I guess we're going to overthrow Cuba as well.
[00:35:55]  I mean, is there a single country on the planet that we're not going to overthrow right now?
[00:36:01]  China.
[00:36:01]  China?
[00:36:02]  China.
[00:36:02]  We won't overthrow China.
[00:36:04]  Yeah, that's not going to happen.
[00:36:04]  Are you pretty sure?
[00:36:05]  I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.
[00:36:07]  Pretty sure.
[00:36:07]  Russia, not going to happen.
[00:36:09]  All right.
[00:36:09]  So there's two countries.
[00:36:10]  There's two countries overthrowing.
[00:36:12]  Yeah, so we're not doing them all.
[00:36:13]  And that's, you know, that's what makes it a little more difficult is that we're talking.
[00:36:17]  I mean, we just did Venezuela.
[00:36:19]  We're talking, we basically take it over Greenland.
[00:36:22]  But we're not leaving chaos in the wake.
[00:36:25]  Yeah, that's true.
[00:36:26]  I mean, that's the difference between George Bush and all of these wars.
[00:36:30]  We left chaos in the wake because we said, we're going to get, we're saying you're going to that leader out.
[00:36:39]  Yeah.
[00:36:39]  And then we're not even picking the leader.
[00:36:43]  And I can get behind that.
[00:36:45]  I can.
[00:36:46]  I can't get behind nation building again.
[00:36:48]  Oh, no, I can't either.
[00:36:49]  So if that's what's ahead in Iran, I'm not ready for that.
[00:36:55]  You look 20 years ahead.
[00:36:57]  If this works, 20 years ahead, does this look like what it used to look like when America was just picking the leaders for these countries and saying, you're in charge, you're in charge, you're in charge?
[00:37:10]  Have we gone back to that?
[00:37:14]  I hope not.
[00:37:15]  I hope not.
[00:37:16]  It's hard to imagine the alternative, though, because we've never done it the right way.
[00:37:21]  I mean, when was the last time we did this the right way?
[00:37:24]  What is the right way?
[00:37:27]  Win the war and leave.
[00:37:29]  Oh, yeah.
[00:37:29]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:37:29]  Yeah.
[00:37:30]  We've never done that.
[00:37:31]  We've never done that.
[00:37:32]  World War II, maybe.
[00:37:34]  Oh, but World War II, that was a guild there.
[00:37:36]  That was Persia.
[00:37:37]  Yeah.
[00:37:39]  That was partly us going, you know what?
[00:37:41]  The Shah, he's the guy.
[00:37:42]  And we left.
[00:37:43]  Yeah.
[00:37:45]  Yeah.
[00:37:46]  So I don't know.
[00:37:47]  It just doesn't work out well.
[00:37:48]  It's going to be interesting to see all this work out, isn't it?
[00:37:51]  It is.
[00:37:52]  Hopeful, more hopeful than you were.
[00:37:54]  I am because, you know, I think Trump is really trying to do it the right way.
[00:37:59]  Yeah.
[00:37:59]  So I think the thing that happened yesterday with JD Vance on the fraud thing?
[00:38:04]  Fraud thing.
[00:38:05]  Oh, my God.
[00:38:06]  That's great.
[00:38:07]  Yeah.
[00:38:07]  I got something on that.
[00:38:08]  I think Trump's a genius.
[00:38:10]  Just an absolute genius the way he played that yesterday.
[00:38:14]  But I think that's the 2028.
[00:38:18]  That's the rabbit out of the hat.
[00:38:20]  I think they are going to find so much fraud in these states, Democrat fraud, that they are just, it's going to be overwhelming.
[00:38:27]  And everybody's going to go, well, can't vote for those guys because look at what they're doing.
[00:38:31]  Right.
[00:38:32]  Because eventually some number, I think, pisses the American people off.
[00:38:35]  I don't know what that number is, but I think there's some number that they have taken and stolen from you.
[00:38:42]  I hope there is a number.
[00:38:43]  I mean, there's got to be a number.
[00:38:45]  We've been pretty okay with pretty high numbers.
[00:38:48]  I know.
[00:38:49]  I know.
[00:38:49]  I hope there is a number where we say, okay.
[00:38:52]  Okay, enough.
[00:38:53]  Enough.
[00:38:53]  Enough.
[00:38:53]  Now somebody's got a paper.
[00:38:55]  Stop stealing from us.
[00:38:56]  All right.
[00:38:56]  Pat Gray from Pat Gray, Unleashed.
[00:38:58]  Thanks.
[00:38:58]  America's about to celebrate its 250th birthday, two and a half centuries since a group of people decided that freedom was worth building an entire country around.
[00:39:06]  Anniversaries, you know, are exciting.
[00:39:10]  Now, what do we do next?
[00:39:11]  The direction of this country is being decided right now in our culture, our economy, even in the companies we choose to support.
[00:39:18]  And most wireless companies don't care what you believe.

=== New Attitude In America (02:50) ===

[00:39:21]  They just want your monthly payment.
[00:39:23]  Patriot Mobile was built differently.
[00:39:26]  For more than 12 years, they stood with Americans who believe freedom is worth defending, helping support the Christian conservative movement when a lot of other companies couldn't.
[00:39:35]  In fact, they're co-sponsoring the Seed a Shining Sea event on Ellis Island on May 2nd with Moms for Liberty and the American Journey Experience.
[00:39:42]  I will be there.
[00:39:44]  The function on all three major, they function on all three major U.S. networks.

[00:40:25]  Most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about what may or may not be in our tap water.
[00:40:31]  You turn the faucet on, you fill a glass, and you assume it's fine.
[00:40:34]  And it's been that way all of our lives, right?
[00:40:35]  Right, right.
[00:40:37]  Well, when you were a kid, you didn't even think about filling your water from a glass from the tap with water.
[00:40:43]  Of course not.
[00:40:43]  And maybe you haven't as an adult either.
[00:40:45]  But there are studies looking at, what is it, atrazine that is a common agricultural pesticide.
[00:40:50]  You know, there are all sorts of weird things that happen with animals of this stuff, and it's known to run off into water sources.
[00:40:57]  There's fluoride that the government puts into water.
[00:41:00]  Of course, you know, for teeth, but like, you know, do you want that?
[00:41:02]  Do you not want it?
[00:41:03]  Do you want to take it out?
[00:41:04]  You can.
[00:41:05]  That's why many people are turning to Cove Pure.
[00:41:07]  Cove Pure is a countertop system that filters water through four stages, and it's certified to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants, including tiny particles that many cheaper filters simply miss.
[00:41:20]  It's built for everyday convenience too, by the way.
[00:41:22]  It's just really easy to get hot water, cold water, room temperature water instantly.
[00:41:26]  The press of a button.
[00:41:27]  And the good news is you do have a choice.
[00:41:29]  No matter what you have in your drinking water, you can take that out.
[00:41:32]  Pure drinking water is one of the best investments you can make.

[00:42:06]  So there's a retweet from BeatXF yesterday that just is worth playing here.

=== Instant Hot Water Choice (14:22) ===

[00:42:12]  Watch, listen.
[00:42:13]  Hey, I don't know who need to hear this.
[00:42:16]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:42:17]  I see a lot of people be talking about America.
[00:42:20]  Hey, if you don't like America, go to another country.
[00:42:23]  I love this country.
[00:42:24]  I'll protect this.
[00:42:26]  I'll protect this bitch.
[00:42:28]  Okay.
[00:42:29]  Love that.
[00:42:30]  Love that.
[00:42:35]  There is a new attitude, I think, that is happening in America.
[00:42:40]  And it is a healthy attitude.
[00:42:42]  And that is not one of just, you know, crazy out-of-control jingoistic chanting.
[00:42:50]  It is under a deeper understanding of how much trouble we're in.
[00:42:54]  And that I'm willing to take a stand for it.
[00:42:57]  I'm willing to do that.
[00:42:58]  Now, is that happening in Washington?
[00:43:01]  No.
[00:43:02]  But a data Republican, who is a friend of the program and one of the best researchers out there, she digs into corruption.
[00:43:10]  And she, we called her up because she was putting some dots together.
[00:43:15]  and I asked her, would you please write an article for Glennbeck.com about what you found on why is the Save America Act not passing?
[00:43:28]  Why are they so out of step?
[00:43:29]  I'm going to share that with you next.
[00:43:31]  It's an article now at Glennbeck.com.
[00:43:34]  You don't want to miss it.
[00:43:35]  I'll give you the whole thing in just a couple of minutes.
[00:43:37]  It's worth hearing.
[00:43:44]  As America turns 250 this year, there's a lot of talk about the founding fathers and declarations and big moments in history, and that's all good.
[00:43:52]  But there's another group of people who built this country too.
[00:43:55]  People who never signed a document.
[00:43:56]  They just showed up before the sun even came up.
[00:43:59]  American Ranchers, their legacy is what Good Ranchers is built on.
[00:44:03]  They're 100% dedicated to America every single step.
[00:44:07]  Every cut is sourced from local American farms and ranches, from the pasture to the final seal on the box.
[00:44:13]  And the packaging and fulfillment happens right here in the United States as well.

[00:45:34]  This is the Glenn Beck program.
[00:45:38]  Glenn Beck is on.
[00:45:40]  Well, today is the day that the Save America Act is actually supposed to be presented for debate.
[00:45:46]  Why has this happened?
[00:45:48]  Why is this stalling?
[00:45:50]  Why something this popular is not easy to get through?
[00:45:55]  Well, I'll tell you.
[00:45:58]  Data Republican started tracing something, I think it was last week, and I was following her.
[00:46:04]  And Ricky reached out and said, hey, would you kind of put all this together and write an essay on this for Glenn Beck.com?
[00:46:15]  So she did.
[00:46:15]  We just published it.
[00:46:17]  It is really good.
[00:46:18]  I want to take you through it.
[00:46:19]  You'll understand how this system works in a way you didn't even know.
[00:46:24]  You just even know.
[00:46:25]  And it will explain why the people in Congress are just saying, no, it can't be done.
[00:46:32]  It can't be done.
[00:46:34]  It's too hard.
[00:46:36]  Is it?
[00:46:37]  Wait until you see what we found behind the curtain with Data Republican.
[00:46:42]  That's coming up next.
[00:46:42]  First, let me tell you about my Patriot supply.
[00:46:44]  Sometimes, you know, normal life just makes it too comfortable.
[00:46:48]  You go to work, you come home, you run the errands, you know, that you need to run.
[00:46:51]  Most days, you know, it's a familiar pattern.
[00:46:54]  Every now and then, something happens that reminds you that the routine can quickly change.
[00:46:59]  A big storm rolls through.
[00:47:01]  The power goes out.
[00:47:02]  Stores are closed or picked over.
[00:47:04]  And all of a sudden, people are driving around town trying to find things they just always assumed would be there.
[00:47:13]  That's really the moment when a lot of people wish they had prepared a little earlier.
[00:47:16]  But you'll be prepared.
[00:47:18]  Oh, my Patriot supply if you haven't already.
[00:47:20]  They built their entire mission around helping people just take a few simple steps.
[00:47:24]  So if life does get disrupted for a while, you're not scrambling to figure out what to do next.
[00:47:29]  When you've taken care of the basic, those moments really don't feel like a crisis.
[00:47:36]  If you've been thinking about it, been thinking about getting prepared, now is the time.
[00:47:41]  Go to preparewithglenn.com.
[00:47:42]  You're going to get a limited time special offer that will help you get ready for whatever's coming your way.
[00:47:47]  That's preparewithglenn.com.
[00:47:48]  See their preparedness special offer, preparewithglen.com.
[00:47:55]  You know, there was a time in this country where corruption, I think, required a meeting in a dark room and everybody had to be smoking cigars.
[00:48:03]  You know, the doors were closed, the voices were lowered, and money changed hands.
[00:48:08]  That's corruption.
[00:48:10]  If you wanted to control power, you had to hide it.
[00:48:16]  But that's no longer necessary for a couple of reasons.
[00:48:19]  One, we don't seem to care.
[00:48:20]  I mean, how much money has to be stolen from you, the taxpayer, before you start to care about the corruption that's going on.
[00:48:29]  Data Republican has just published something at GlennBeck.com that shows, well, it's also because corruption in the system doesn't technically have to be corruption.
[00:48:42]  It runs on alignment.
[00:48:45]  And once you see it, it's hard to unsee it.
[00:48:49]  The Save America Act is what has brought this to light.
[00:48:52]  That's just a proof of citizenship vote.
[00:48:55]  That's it.
[00:48:55]  It's not radical.
[00:48:56]  It's not experimental.
[00:48:57]  It's not fringe.
[00:48:58]  83% of Americans support it.
[00:49:01]  84% in another poll.
[00:49:03]  Republicans, Independents, even the majority of Democrats.
[00:49:06]  The House passed it.
[00:49:08]  And in any sane system, that bill gets debated in the Senate and it's passed.
[00:49:14]  It gets a vote.
[00:49:16]  And then the president signed it.
[00:49:18]  But it may not get a vote.
[00:49:23]  And we have been told before a fight had even begun, it's already over.
[00:49:28]  There's no chance.
[00:49:29]  Dead on arrival.
[00:49:30]  Move along.
[00:49:31]  Nothing to see here.
[00:49:32]  Wait a minute.
[00:49:32]  What?
[00:49:34]  Why?
[00:49:36]  You remember hearing that and thinking, why?
[00:49:39]  Most people are still saying, why?
[00:49:42]  That didn't come from a protest.
[00:49:45]  It didn't come from the voters.
[00:49:47]  80% of us are all for it.
[00:49:50]  So where did that come from?
[00:49:54]  Data Republican shows it comes from a newsletter.
[00:49:58]  It's called Punch Bowl News.
[00:50:01]  This is a name pulled from the secret service code for the Capitol, Punch Bowl.
[00:50:08]  The publication, Punch Bowl News, I've never heard of.
[00:50:13]  Most Americans have never heard of this, and you'll understand why here in a minute.
[00:50:17]  But everyone in Washington on Capitol Hill, they read it.
[00:50:21]  Every congressional office, nine out of 10 staffers read every day Punch Bowl News.
[00:50:28]  Lobbyists, corporate policy teams, legislative directors.
[00:50:33]  How many people read it on a daily basis?
[00:50:35]  You ready?
[00:50:37]  7,500 people.
[00:50:41]  7,500, that's the audience, not millions.
[00:50:46]  7,500.
[00:50:50]  Now, if journalism were the business, the readers would be the customers, and there's not enough to keep that in business.
[00:50:59]  They're not the customers.
[00:51:01]  90% of Punch Bowl's revenue comes from corporate sponsorships.
[00:51:09]  Wall Street, big tech, finance.
[00:51:12]  Industries with billions on the line, depending on what happens in the Senate, right?
[00:51:19]  The subscribers, they're not the customers.
[00:51:22]  They're the product.
[00:51:25]  Corporations are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars not to inform the public, not to reach out and say, look at us, we're such a great 7,500 people in the real world make no difference at all unless it's the right 7,500 people.
[00:51:41]  And that's what they're paying for to reach that very specific group of people.
[00:51:47]  And this is a room where the staffers decide what matters, where senators are briefed, where legislative priorities live or die before you even hear about them.
[00:52:00]  But everybody on the inside understands this.
[00:52:03]  The Senate majority leader doesn't just vote.
[00:52:07]  He decides what gets a vote.
[00:52:10]  He decides what lives and what will never reach the floor.
[00:52:14]  So when a bill like Save America comes along with overwhelming public support, it doesn't need to be defeated.
[00:52:23]  It just needs to be declared unrealistic.
[00:52:28]  And that's exactly what happened in Punch Bowl News.
[00:52:31]  And once that label is applied, the machine does all the rest.
[00:52:35]  A reporter just has to write, no path forward to this.
[00:52:39]  A leader says, we just don't have the votes.
[00:52:42]  And before a single senator is forced to stand and be counted, the people who shape Washington's daily reality move on.
[00:52:51]  Meetings aren't scheduled.
[00:52:52]  Pressure isn't applied.
[00:52:53]  Momentum disappears.
[00:52:55]  Not because the people rejected the bill, but because the system never allowed it to exist.
[00:53:04]  Now, here's the part that should really bother you, and not because it's illegal, because it's not illegal.
[00:53:09]  Nothing about this is illegal.
[00:53:13]  Not even that it's coordinated.
[00:53:16]  What really should bother you is it works perfectly without either of those things.
[00:53:23]  The same corporations funding the news environment are funding the campaigns.
[00:53:29]  The same publication shaping the daily conversation is funded by the same interest that benefit from that conversation.
[00:53:38]  The same senators reading the conventional wisdom every morning built their careers in that same ecosystem.
[00:53:47]  Nobody has to pick up the phone.
[00:53:48]  Nobody has to issue an order.
[00:53:50]  Nobody has to break the law because everyone is already operating inside the same set of incentives.
[00:53:59]  This is sick.
[00:54:04]  It's not a conspiracy.
[00:54:06]  It's a business model.
[00:54:08]  And business models don't fail because of scandal.
[00:54:12]  They succeed because they don't need one.
[00:54:18]  Now you're in this story as well.
[00:54:20]  Whether you know it or not, you're in it.
[00:54:23]  You're not going to like this.
[00:54:26]  Your representative, Congress, spend over a million dollars of your money to be in that 7,500 people group.
[00:54:40]  Over a million dollars of your tax dollars to buy access to Punch Bowl News.
[00:54:48]  They pay to be in the room with your money.
[00:54:52]  You fund the subscription.
[00:54:55]  You paid the cover charge.
[00:54:58]  But you're not invited inside.
[00:55:00]  You have no idea.
[00:55:05]  There are so many divides in America, but there are a few really important ones.
[00:55:09]  And this is the modern divide in America that really counts.
[00:55:13]  It's not left versus right.
[00:55:15]  It's not Republican versus Democrat.
[00:55:18]  It's those inside the room versus those outside the room.
[00:55:25]  Inside the room, consensus is manufactured.
[00:55:29]  Outside the room, you're just told, what's possible?
[00:55:33]  This isn't possible.
[00:55:34]  This is just not possible.
[00:55:35]  Why?
[00:55:36]  It's just not.
[00:55:37]  Why?
[00:55:38]  It's just not.
[00:55:39]  Why?
[00:55:40]  It's just not.
[00:55:42]  You people don't get it.
[00:55:43]  No, because we don't get Punch Bowl news.
[00:55:48]  Inside the room, priorities are decided before debate.
[00:55:52]  Outside the room, you're told the debate already happened.
[00:55:57]  And if you're wondering why something supported by 80% of the country can vanish without a vote, now you know.
[00:56:06]  And that's not the system failing.
[00:56:09]  It's working exactly as it was designed.
[00:56:15]  So the question isn't what happened, because now we know.
[00:56:21]  The question is, what are you going to do about a system where you paid for the seat, but you were never meant to get one?
[00:56:33]  Thank you, Data Republican.

[00:56:40]  All of it is exposed.
[00:56:42]  This is why it was just decided.
[00:56:45]  And we were like, when did they decide this?
[00:56:46]  It was decided in the pages.
[00:56:49]  And she tracks it all down and shows you all of the receipts at glennbeck.com.
[00:56:54]  By the way, she also has a new book out.
[00:56:56]  She is so good.
[00:56:57]  If you don't know who Data Republican is, she is deaf and mute and somebody who is just relentless.
[00:57:07]  She was in high-tech, relentless.
[00:57:09]  She started just digging for money trails.
[00:57:14]  And boy, has she found the money trails.
[00:57:18]  She's going to play a very important role, I think, in the saving of this country.
[00:57:22]  Anyway, you can pre-order her new book, Unelected, How You Paid a Sinister Elite to Take Over America.
[00:57:30]  Unelected, her new book, you can pre-order it now at Amazon.com.
[00:57:34]  All right.
[00:57:35]  Every society eventually has to answer a simple question.
[00:57:39]  You know, when somebody is in a moment of real need, who shows up?
[00:57:43]  When a person is scared, overwhelmed, doesn't know what to do next, who's there?
[00:57:48]  Who's there to offer help and who's there to offer pressure?
[00:57:52]  For thousands of women every year, that moment comes when they find out that they're pregnant and they are completely unprepared for what comes next.
[00:58:00]  The first voice they hear can make a huge difference.
[00:58:03]  It's why Preborn partners with pregnancy clinics all across the country.
[00:58:06]  And their goal is simple.
[00:58:08]  Make sure women have a chance to see an ultrasound of their baby, to talk to somebody who cares about them and their future.
[00:58:16]  Because when a mom sees the heartbeat for the very first time, something changes.
[00:58:20]  Suddenly, this is not an abstract decision anymore.
[00:58:24]  It's a moment of connection.
[00:58:26]  And in many cases, that moment is what leads to a mom choosing life.
[00:58:31]  Just $28 provides one ultrasound.
[00:58:34]  $140 helps five moms, and every dollar helps save babies and share hope.
[00:58:38]  To donate, dial pound250, say the keyword baby, pound250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com/slash back, sponsored by pre-born.
[00:58:46]  10 seconds.
[00:58:49]  Now, let me give you the next story that is connected.
[00:59:06]  By April 2020, U.S. intelligence knew something explosive.
[00:59:12]  China had gained access to American voter registration data across multiple states.
[00:59:19]  Not ballots, but names, addresses, driver's license, partial social security numbers.
[00:59:26]  Think of this, how dangerous this is.
[00:59:28]  They have your name address, driver's license, and social security number.
[00:59:32]  Do you know what could be done by fraud alone?
[00:59:37]  This is the kind of data you don't need to change a vote.
[00:59:41]  You need it to influence vote, to impersonate, to target, to manipulate.
[00:59:47]  And they didn't just take it.
[00:59:49]  They analyzed it.
[00:59:50]  China took it.
[00:59:52]  They studied it.
[00:59:53]  They mapped American voters like a battlefield.
[00:59:56]  When you have this kind of information, they can influence what you read, what you see all the time.
[01:00:05]  Here's the part that's really frustrating.
[01:00:07]  Our government knew this in 2020.
[01:00:10]  There were clear intelligence reports that we're just finding out now.
[01:00:14]  In 2026, there were briefings.
[01:00:18]  There was even a presidential daily briefing that talked about it.
[01:00:23]  Congress wasn't told.
[01:00:25]  The American people weren't told.
[01:00:27]  And according to whistleblowers, now even the president of the United States wasn't fully informed, but I don't think that guy knew his shoes were on at times.
[01:00:35]  The reports were blocked.
[01:00:37]  They were buried.
[01:00:38]  They were hidden.
[01:00:38]  And at the same time, you were told something very different.
[01:00:42]  You were told, this election is the most secure in history.
[01:00:46]  There is no real foreign interference to worry about, so don't question it.
[01:00:51]  How is that possible?
[01:00:53]  How is that possible?
[01:00:56]  China is, is, not was, is harvesting voter data.
[01:01:03]  Chinese-linked groups are running influence campaigns.
[01:01:08]  Not was, are.
[01:01:10]  Thousands of fake driver's license are being seized, mostly from China.
[01:01:16]  And an FBI intelligence report raising concerns about fraudulent mail-in voting schemes, that's pulled back.
[01:01:24]  Told to be deleted.
[01:01:27]  And the day after testimony, day after testimony said, nothing to see here.
[01:01:35]  Nothing happened.
[01:01:36]  No, there's nothing happening.
[01:01:38]  Let me be clear about something.
[01:01:42]  There is no smoking gun like this.
[01:01:47]  The voting machines were hacked.
[01:01:48]  Not like this.
[01:01:50]  That's not the story.
[01:01:52]  This story is much more dangerous than that because you don't need to hack a machine when you can hack people.
[01:02:00]  Here's the question that our press should be asking.
[01:02:04]  How is it we can secure our nuclear weapon systems?
[01:02:10]  How is it we can secure our military networks, our SWIFT global banking system, our intelligence infrastructure all around the world, but we cannot secure my ID and my vote?
[01:02:26]  Don't tell me it's too complicated.
[01:02:28]  Don't tell me it's too expensive.
[01:02:29]  Don't tell me it's impossible.
[01:02:32]  We put a rover on Mars.
[01:02:35]  We track trillions of dollars across continents in milliseconds.
[01:02:39]  Milliseconds.
[01:02:41]  We can verify your identity to open a bank account, board a plane, buy a house, but voting, that's too hard.
[01:02:48]  What?
[01:02:51]  No, it's not that we can't secure it.
[01:02:53]  It's that for some reason, and maybe I should check Punch Bowl News, for some reason, the people in charge don't want it secured, which leads to the only question that matters.
[01:03:05]  Why?
[01:03:07]  Why hide this intelligence from Congress?
[01:03:13]  Why keep the public in the dark?
[01:03:16]  Why fight basic safeguards?
[01:03:19]  Why resist voter ID?
[01:03:21]  Why resist citizenship verification?
[01:03:24]  Chain of custody protections.
[01:03:26]  Look, the Save America Act is not a silver bullet.
[01:03:31]  It will not fix everything.
[01:03:33]  But it has done something critical.
[01:03:35]  It says at a minimum, you have to prove you're a citizen to vote.
[01:03:40]  You have to show identification.
[01:03:42]  Well, is that identification coming from China?
[01:03:46]  We have to treat the vote as the sacred right that it is.
[01:03:50]  That's not a radical, that's not a radical idea.
[01:03:54]  That's baseline civilization.
[01:03:58]  Not left or right.
[01:04:00]  This is about whether you believe in self-government at all.
[01:04:03]  Because if foreign governments can access foreign data, if intelligence is hidden from Congress and oversight, if the system resists basic security, then you don't have a republic.
[01:04:17]  You have a system where people are asked to trust, but never allowed to verify.
[01:04:23]  Trust, yet verify.
[01:04:26]  You have a system you can't question.
[01:04:29]  And that is a system you no longer control.
[01:04:32]  So again, not as a Republican, not as a Democrat, but as an American, we should be asking, what is it they are afraid of?
[01:04:44]  What is it they are protecting?
[01:04:48]  What is it they are hiding?
[01:04:53]  Because that was supposed to be the most secure election in all of American history.
[01:04:57]  We knew it wasn't.
[01:04:59]  But now we know they also knew.
[01:05:05]  They were hiding it.
[01:05:08]  They were lying about really our biggest enemy, China.
[01:05:16]  Hacking all of our information, hacking the information of citizens, the voting information.

=== What Are They Hiding (02:35) ===

[01:05:26]  You know, information is power.
[01:05:30]  Knowledge is power.
[01:05:33]  You don't have the knowledge.
[01:05:35]  You're not getting the information.
[01:05:37]  But guess who's hacking into it?
[01:05:40]  China is getting all of your information.
[01:05:43]  All of the knowledge of you.
[01:05:47]  What kind of power have we given China?
[01:05:52]  And what kind of power are our own politicians trying to preserve by not protecting you?
[01:06:01]  More in a minute.
[01:06:22]  APR for Rits in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
[01:06:26]  Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
[01:06:30]  You know, most people don't realize how much of their financial life is decided by one number, the interest rate.
[01:06:36]  You know, it doesn't, you know, it doesn't look like much when you see it written on paper, 4%, 6%, 8%, few digits, but that number decides how high your payment actually goes, you know, towards your future, how much of it disappears into interest.
[01:06:52]  You know, a loan, a small change in that rate, can mean tens of thousands of dollars one way or the other.
[01:06:58]  Yet people sign the mortgage or debt agreements without really having somebody walk them through what those numbers mean or what the other options might be.
[01:07:06]  That's where American Financing comes in.
[01:07:08]  They are a family-owned company that specializes in helping homeowners restructure their mortgage or tap into their equity in ways that can lower the interest costs.
[01:07:18]  You know, 6 or 8% interest is a lot.
[01:07:20]  How about a 20, 25, 30% credit card that you're never going to get out from underneath that?
[01:07:26]  You need American financing.

=== Irresponsible Financial Choices (14:59) ===

[01:08:01]  Jason, I'd like you in on this, if possible.
[01:08:03]  Jason, our head researcher, and he watches over, you know, global military.
[01:08:13]  He used to be in military Intel.
[01:08:16]  There's something that has just happened that is remarkably historic.
[01:08:24]  I want to read it to you.
[01:08:26]  President Trump, this comes from the director of National Intelligence and National Counterterrorism Center, Joseph Kent.
[01:08:36]  President Trump, after much reflection, I've decided to resign from my position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center effective today.
[01:08:44]  I cannot, in good conscience, support the ongoing war in Iran.
[01:08:48]  Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
[01:09:01]  I know this is so damaging.
[01:09:06]  This is Pentagon paper stuff.
[01:09:09]  This is as important as the Pentagon Papers.
[01:09:12]  This is going to possibly change the course of America.
[01:09:18]  I support the values of foreign policies that you campaigned on in 16, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term.
[01:09:26]  Until June of 2025, you understood that wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation.
[01:09:35]  In your first administration, you understood better than any modern president how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into a never-ending war.
[01:09:42]  You demonstrated this by killing Soleimani and defeating ISIS.
[01:09:47]  Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your American First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran.
[01:10:04]  This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States.
[01:10:13]  This is incredible that you can say a lot of things, but to say that Donald Trump is a dupe and has been duped by a foreign power because he wasn't smart enough to figure it out is absolutely insane.
[01:10:29]  Insane.
[01:10:32]  Deceive you that you should strike now when there was a and that there was a clear path to a swift victory.
[01:10:41]  This was a lie, and it is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into a disaster Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women.
[01:10:52]  We cannot make this mistake again.
[01:10:55]  This is going to set the world on fire.
[01:10:58]  As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a gold star husband who lost my beloved wife, Shannon, in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.
[01:11:18]  I pray you will reflect upon what you are doing in Iran and who we are doing it for.
[01:11:24]  The time for bold action is now.
[01:11:26]  You can, no, you can't.
[01:11:28]  You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation.
[01:11:31]  You can allow, you can, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos.
[01:11:37]  You hold the cards.
[01:11:38]  It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation, Joseph Kent.
[01:11:45]  This is a senior official in intelligence saying in real time that the United States has entered a war under false pretenses, that Israel got us into the first war in Iraq, and now they duped the American president into fighting this war.
[01:12:08]  This is going to fracture public trust.
[01:12:12]  This is the worst letter that could be done that I have ever seen if you want to hold, if you're trying to win an election.
[01:12:24]  This is the worst thing.
[01:12:26]  Our allies now are going to be questioning our judgment.
[01:12:31]  Our enemies are going to exploit this like crazy.
[01:12:36]  The war effort now, if you don't think you have given aid and comfort to Iran, you just have.
[01:12:43]  You've told them exactly what I'm telling you right now.
[01:12:46]  It's going to be bad.
[01:12:48]  It's going to be bad.
[01:12:49]  I don't know how you survive things like this because this guy has just taken gasoline and thrown tanks of it into a bonfire that was already burning.
[01:13:02]  And that fire that is burning is not the Islamic fires, but the Jews are bad fires.
[01:13:17]  This is probably the most serious break, internal breaks over a war decision in modern history.
[01:13:24]  Never seen anything like this.
[01:13:29]  And there's going to have to be investigations on it.
[01:13:32]  And, you know, I hope we get to the truth on this.
[01:13:39]  But now we've just added that one to the fire that was already burning out of control, I thought.
[01:13:47]  Jason, your analysis on this?
[01:13:49]  I think that we need an immediate statement from DNI Tulsi Gabbard immediately to go into the details that they probably did not even want to go into at the moment, but they're going to have to now.
[01:14:04]  This is incredibly irresponsible, and it needs to be cleared up five minutes ago.
[01:14:11]  They need to go into rapid damage control mode and explain exactly every, you know, point by point, encounter everything Joe Kent just said.
[01:14:20]  Now, I don't have a problem with, so Joe Kent has always, he's always seemed to me to be kind of like a, you know, a very libertarian voice within the administration.
[01:14:30]  And his wife dying in Syria, I'm sure that pushed him further towards the no war camp.
[01:14:38]  And I can get that.
[01:14:38]  I like having, you know, an anti-Bolton style group of people within there.
[01:14:44]  We need those voices.
[01:14:45]  But this is so irresponsible.
[01:14:47]  You might as well just say that, you know, I read the protocols of the elders of Zion and, you know, the Jews control the world.
[01:14:54]  He basically said that.
[01:14:58]  Jews control the United States of America.
[01:15:00]  Come on.
[01:15:02]  This is so irresponsible.
[01:15:04]  I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this.
[01:15:06]  And the only reason I saying something like this, you might as well, it's got to be an intention grab.
[01:15:11]  It's got to be.
[01:15:13]  I don't know.
[01:15:13]  He's throwing it.
[01:15:14]  And again, unlike the Pentagon papers, where's the evidence of this?
[01:15:20]  Yep.
[01:15:20]  None.
[01:15:21]  There's no evidence of this.
[01:15:23]  So he has just taken, and this was my problem.
[01:15:26]  And I said this yesterday.
[01:15:27]  I've said this every day since the war started.
[01:15:30]  I don't need more opinions.
[01:15:31]  I need more facts.
[01:15:33]  I'm tired of opinions.
[01:15:35]  I want facts.
[01:15:37]  If this is true, back it up with facts.
[01:15:41]  Show me how this happened.
[01:15:44]  You know, he's made charges here that they deceived the president in believing that Iran, I'm sorry.
[01:15:53]  Have you ever talked to the president of the United States?
[01:15:57]  Do you, I mean, do you have any understanding of who this guy is?
[01:16:01]  I have, I can't imagine anyone being able to deceive him into, you know, hey, go fight Iran, I mean, Israel's war.
[01:16:19]  You might deceive him on, hey, there are some, but I'd like to see the evidence.
[01:16:24]  You might be able to, with evidence, say, Mr. President, see the pictures that they showed you here.
[01:16:32]  See the stats that they showed you here.
[01:16:34]  Here are the stats that say that's not true.
[01:16:38]  I could see somebody coming, you know, a group of people coming into the Oval and briefing the president and saying, Mr. President, here is the information.
[01:16:46]  But I also believe somebody like Joe Kent, and this is why he was important, you know, a libertarian point of view, is important to go into the Oval Office because that's when you go into the Oval Office and say, Mr. President, these things are not true.
[01:16:58]  Then the president would have said, I'm just guessing here, but I know Donald Trump well enough to know he's not a dupe.
[01:17:09]  That's when somebody like Joe Kent would have come in and said, Mr. President, these things are wrong.
[01:17:14]  And the president would have said, Joe, can you show me the evidence that this is wrong?
[01:17:22]  Can you prove that?
[01:17:23]  Because I have this evidence over here, and I don't want to go to war.
[01:17:27]  I don't want to do that.
[01:17:28]  He would have said that.
[01:17:29]  I don't want to do this, but I have this.
[01:17:31]  Can you prove that to be wrong?
[01:17:34]  No.
[01:17:35]  Well, then, Joe, what do I do?
[01:17:38]  Do I take Joe's word for it?
[01:17:42]  Or do I take the evidence that has been presented by my own intel?
[01:17:49]  That's exactly what the president would have done.
[01:17:52]  Ricky, I want to bring you in on this.
[01:17:54]  Yeah.
[01:17:56]  One thing to point out is that I'm pretty sure Vice President JD Vance is aligned in his foreign policy worldview with Joe Kent.
[01:18:04]  But what you don't hear from JD Vance is it was an honor to serve the president, but also he's lying to you.
[01:18:12]  We are all lying to you.
[01:18:14]  So there's that.
[01:18:15]  And then the other thing I'd like to know is who is pulling Trump by the nose?
[01:18:20]  Is it Israel or is it the Arab leaders?
[01:18:23]  Just in the last 24 hours, we have headlines stating that several Gulf states are urging Trump to keep going on Iran and to fully dismantle them.
[01:18:32]  No.
[01:18:33]  No, no, no.
[01:18:34]  Iran.
[01:18:34]  No, no, that's not possible because Israel is doing this so they can destroy their Arab neighbors and keep them, you know, keep them under their toe.
[01:18:46]  So that's not true.
[01:18:48]  None of those things actually happened.
[01:18:50]  Do you have any evidence that those things happened, Ricky?
[01:18:56]  Don't get me started.
[01:18:58]  I just want to bring this story to you.
[01:19:00]  You do know you do have the evidence.
[01:19:02]  You have the written word from those allies that are all Arabs.
[01:19:08]  Yes, I have that.
[01:19:10]  Do you have the evidence to the other side that Israel is trying to do this war to destroy the Arab world?
[01:19:20]  No, you have an opinion.
[01:19:23]  Well, I've got an ass and an opinion.
[01:19:26]  They're both worth exactly the same thing.
[01:19:32]  They're not worth a damn thing.
[01:19:34]  Give me the facts.
[01:19:38]  That is the problem with this country.
[01:19:40]  You have too many people like me who are paid to give you an opinion and perspective on what the hell all of this means.
[01:19:52]  Unfortunately, there are so many of us that some people have to get a leg up on somebody else.
[01:20:00]  I've got to get more clicks.
[01:20:02]  I've got to get more advertisers.
[01:20:03]  I've got to get more followers.
[01:20:04]  I've got to get whatever it is.
[01:20:06]  And so they no longer attach themselves to facts.
[01:20:10]  I have some things that I think I know about this situation that I think is really important, but I'm not going to share them because I don't have any facts to back them up.
[01:20:26]  I don't have any evidence to back it up.
[01:20:30]  I have gut feelings.
[01:20:31]  So, Glenn, why don't you say it?
[01:20:33]  Because they're gut feelings.
[01:20:36]  They're not facts.
[01:20:38]  And when you're talking about the destruction of people, when you're talking about war and killing people, when you're talking about the possibility of World War III, when you're talking about dividing this nation into two groups, I hate them, Jews.
[01:20:59]  And I just want to know what the truth is.
[01:21:02]  I don't want to get involved in anybody else's.
[01:21:06]  When you're dividing us this hard on something this dark, produce the damn evidence, Joe.
[01:21:17]  Produce the evidence.
[01:21:19]  If you're right, I'll stand with you.
[01:21:23]  But produce the damn evidence.
[01:21:27]  All you did was while other people were just pouring gasoline over our entire nation, all of our institutions, you just sat in the corner just like, I'm just going to flick matches.
[01:21:41]  I'm going to flick matches.
[01:21:42]  Let me tell you what I know, but I'm not going to tell you how I know it.
[01:21:46]  I can't prove anything.
[01:21:48]  It's just my gut feeling.
[01:21:51]  Produce the evidence, Joe.
[01:21:58]  Back in a minute.
[01:22:03]  Golly, let me tell you about our sponsor.
[01:22:07]  Our sponsor is the Berna Launcher.
[01:22:09]  You're driving home late one night, long, quiet stretch of highway.
[01:22:13]  You notice a car sitting on the shoulder with its hazard lights blinking.
[01:22:17]  One of those moments where you pause for a second.
[01:22:19]  Part of you wants to help.
[01:22:21]  Somebody might be stranded, but what do you do?
[01:22:24]  I mean, you're going to pull over on the dark road.
[01:22:26]  People you don't know put you in a situation you didn't plan for.
[01:22:30]  You slow down, you take a look, you have to decide whether to stop or not.
[01:22:34]  If you do, wouldn't you feel a lot better knowing that you had a way to protect yourself just in case?
[01:22:39]  It's a Burna launcher.
[01:22:40]  It's a compact non-lethal device that fires Kinetic and Pepper projectiles designed to stop a threat and create distance without using an actual firearm.
[01:22:49]  It's legal in all 50 states, no permit required.
[01:22:52]  It's a way to have a practical layer of protection whenever you might need it.

=== Words As Accelerants (02:10) ===

[01:23:01]  Try before you buy at sportsman's warehouse located near you, burna.com/slash glenn.
[01:23:08]  You're gonna have to hold that thought, my friend.
[01:23:11]  We got a schedule to keep back.
[01:23:14]  We'll be back.
[01:23:33]  You know, sometimes words are not just words.
[01:23:39]  Sometimes words are accelerants.
[01:23:43]  They either steady people or they set them on fire.
[01:23:48]  And this is one of those moments.
[01:23:50]  And if you just join us, you don't know what I'm talking about.
[01:23:55]  I'll give you the news here in just a few minutes.
[01:23:59]  But a quick recap: a senior intelligence official has just stepped forward and made a charge that is so sweeping about this war that if it is true, it could bring down the country.
[01:24:17]  I really believe that.
[01:24:18]  It is that devastating.
[01:24:22]  Absolutely devastating.
[01:24:26]  And I don't believe it.
[01:24:30]  I think it is, I'm going to hold on to my opinion for a few more minutes.
[01:24:38]  Let me.
[01:24:40]  Let me, you know, make sure I'm sure of exactly the words that I want to use.
[01:24:47]  But this is a very dangerous moment.
[01:24:50]  Very dangerous moment.
[01:24:52]  May God save the Republic.

=== War Affects Supply Chains (02:14) ===

[01:25:11]  War affects supply chains.
[01:25:13]  And right now, one of the most important shipping routes in the world, the Strait of Hormuz, along Iran's southern border, is under massive strain.
[01:25:21]  About 20% of the world's oil passes through it.
[01:25:24]  And when conflicts in that region happen, it is effectively closed right now.
[01:25:30]  Consequences will ripple out fast.
[01:25:32]  Air freight costs have already soared by as much as 400%.
[01:25:36]  Some shipping routes now require detours that add close to a million dollars to a single voyage.
[01:25:41]  And those costs are passed right along to you.
[01:25:43]  Experts are warning that this could escalate before it even starts to settle down.
[01:25:47]  What happens the next time you need a prescription and the pharmacy can't get it?
[01:25:51]  Jace Medical.
[01:25:52]  This is why they exist.

[01:27:08]  Hello, America.
[01:27:09]  Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
[01:27:11]  There's a lot going on today.
[01:27:13]  We are facing a whirlwind of huge issues that all have to be decided and discussed, but we need to be adults as we talk about them and not bury our heads in the sand.

=== AI Era Not Just Hype (15:14) ===

[01:27:26]  Since the 90s, I've been talking about the coming of AI, and most people didn't even believe me, and I had no credibility because I'm not a tech guy.
[01:27:35]  I'm just somebody who reads a lot, and I can see the dots on the horizon and put them together and see this is what it means.
[01:27:45]  I remember saying to Stu back in the 90s, there's going to come a time where you will not be able to believe your eyes or your ears.
[01:27:53]  You'll be able to develop video and audio so well that you just will not know what's true or not.
[01:27:59]  And that'll happen sometime between 2020 and 2030.
[01:28:02]  And here we are.
[01:28:03]  Do you believe your eyes?
[01:28:05]  Do you know what's real?
[01:28:06]  What's not anymore?
[01:28:08]  AI is here.
[01:28:10]  And we're doing something.
[01:28:14]  And I don't know what's right.
[01:28:15]  I should say that.
[01:28:16]  I don't know what's right.
[01:28:18]  But I have gone into AI with my eyes wide open.
[01:28:22]  I know exactly what it could be.
[01:28:25]  But I also know it is the most powerful tool that man has ever come up with.
[01:28:31]  And as long as you treat it like a tool and use it like a tool and keep it in a toolbox, it's a powerful tool.
[01:28:39]  And if we don't use it, you're going to be left behind in such ways so profound.
[01:28:46]  And it's going to happen so fast that you will be Amish before you know it.
[01:28:52]  And I don't think that is necessarily the right answer either.
[01:28:57]  So what is it?
[01:28:58]  There's a new book.
[01:28:59]  I was at a fundraiser with Peter Schweizer.
[01:29:02]  And he said, Glenn, have you read Code Red?
[01:29:04]  And I said, no, when did it come out?
[01:29:06]  And he said, well, it comes out in a couple of weeks.
[01:29:08]  And I said, no, then I haven't read it because it's not out.
[01:29:11]  Anyway, it is Code Red, The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI.
[01:29:17]  And it was written by Winton Hall.
[01:29:20]  And Peter said, Glenn, I think this is the most important book of the year.
[01:29:26]  And I have been reading it, and I would tend to agree.
[01:29:31]  There was, you know, Elon Musk came out, said yesterday that, or came out on Sunday, and said, universal basic income is right around the corner.
[01:29:41]  They're talking now in the next 12 months to five years, 50% of our jobs going to start disappearing.
[01:29:51]  That's going to change quickly.
[01:29:53]  So what do we do?
[01:29:54]  What should we be talking about?
[01:29:56]  Winton is going to join me here in just a second.
[01:29:58]  First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
[01:30:02]  Some nations are forced to live with a permanent alertness.
[01:30:05]  Israel is one of those places.
[01:30:07]  Imagine sending your kids to school knowing that there are rocket shelters built into the building.
[01:30:12]  I was over in Israel and a rocket was launched and I was with a mayor of some town.
[01:30:19]  I don't remember what it was.
[01:30:22]  And we were walking and the alarms went off.
[01:30:25]  The sirens went off.
[01:30:26]  And I said, what does that mean?
[01:30:28]  He said, we got to get into the shelter.
[01:30:30]  And there was a shelter.
[01:30:30]  We were at a school and there was a shelter on the playground.
[01:30:34]  These shelters are everywhere.
[01:30:36]  Imagine, you know, playing kickball and you have to run into the bomb shelter and all the kids are in the bomb shelter.
[01:30:43]  And then they come back out and they start kickball again.
[01:30:45]  It is the most bizarre way to live your life.
[01:30:48]  They're not shelters everywhere they're needed.
[01:30:52]  And one of the things that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews does is to provide shelters, food, and comfort for those people who are living under these kind of conditions every day.
[01:31:05]  Call 888-488-IFCJ.

[01:31:23]  Winton is a distinguished fellow at Government Accountability Institute with Peter Schweizer.
[01:31:29]  He is also a former visiting fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, lives in Tallahassee with his family.
[01:31:35]  Where do we even begin, Wynton?
[01:31:36]  I mean, you have covered all of it in this book.
[01:31:39]  Really, really well done.
[01:31:41]  Well, thank you, Glenn.
[01:31:43]  No, and, you know, I want to thank you.
[01:31:45]  I mean, you've been ahead on this issue so many years.
[01:31:48]  And actually, it was your book, Propaganda Wars, that really focused my attention for Code Red on the deep fake political implications.
[01:31:58]  So thank you for all of that.
[01:32:00]  I think the thing to begin with is just really understanding for conservatives the importance of understanding that this is not hype.
[01:32:10]  And one of the problems I'm seeing a lot in the circles of these conversations is people say, you know, look, I've tried ChatGPT.
[01:32:18]  I got a hallucination.
[01:32:20]  It's not there yet.
[01:32:22]  That's not AI.
[01:32:23]  That's not AI.
[01:32:25]  That's right.
[01:32:26]  Exactly.
[01:32:28]  And so when you just have that kind of an understanding, that surface level, you don't realize that there is so much more than just a simple chat bot.
[01:32:37]  As you said, Elon's saying there is a supersonic tsunami headed towards humanity.
[01:32:42]  Now, when you hear that, you either have to decide, is that all hype marketing to raise capital for investors, or is one of the richest people that's ever inhabited the planet giving us a real warning shot?
[01:32:54]  I think that when you think of a tsunami, and you're sitting on the beach shore, the question is, how long do you have to get ready and prepare?
[01:33:03]  And then what are the political power grabs that are about to happen?
[01:33:07]  Because what I want people to understand, particularly conservative Americans, is that whether you think it's all hype and fear-mongering or whether it comes to fruition, it really doesn't matter from a political perspective because the forces for redistribution and UBI, universal basic income, will weaponize that fear to build public support one way or the other.
[01:33:33]  I couldn't agree with you more.
[01:33:36]  I absolutely believe it is not hype.
[01:33:40]  I think it's coming faster than anyone expected.
[01:33:43]  I know it is, but I don't believe it's hype.
[01:33:46]  But even if it is, just think of the hype of global warming.
[01:33:51]  This is the new global warming for any kind of, you know, it's laying the railroad tracks for any kind of policies like UBI, you know, socialized everything.
[01:34:04]  This is building the railroad tracks right now, and nobody sees it.
[01:34:08]  You are exactly right.
[01:34:10]  And I call it a control grid, just as a metaphor.
[01:34:14]  It's the ability to scan and ban what you say.
[01:34:17]  We all know in the conservative movement what has happened with the global disinformation index and demonetizing and delisting conservative media and silencing the president.
[01:34:28]  That control grid remains.
[01:34:30]  And so right now, of course, they're going to play along, and there's a Republican House and Senate and White House and President Trump.
[01:34:37]  But the powers in Silicon Valley have been building this control grid and have been organized on these topics for many years.
[01:34:44]  Let me give you one example that I think is really striking.
[01:34:48]  So I spent two years deep diving into this world, and one that stood out to me.
[01:34:52]  In 2016, a young man went on a blog and he said, I'd like to fund a study, and I want to give $1,000 every single month, and I want to give it to low-income people, and I want no strings attached, otherwise known as what you and I would call universal basic income, Glenn.
[01:35:08]  And he said, I want to see what will happen.
[01:35:10]  Will they create new jobs?
[01:35:13]  Will they just waste time?
[01:35:15]  And then he said, the reason I want to do this study is because I think in the future, technology is going to require some type of replacement income.
[01:35:23]  The young man who funded that study funded a longitudinal study, $60 million, put in $14 million of his own dollars.
[01:35:31]  And that young man's name was Sam Altman.
[01:35:35]  Now, why in 2016 is Sam Altman funding the largest UBI study in American history six years before the front-facing arrival of ChatGPT in November of 2022?
[01:35:48]  It is because Silicon Valley has viewed this technology as a way to remake and reset capitalism, free markets, the entire economic structure, what they would call a post-labor society.
[01:36:01]  And when you think of the Judeo-Christian Protestant work ethic, one of the things he said in that note, he says, I think we will view it as silly that we ever considered work, fear of not being able to eat a motivation for why you should work.
[01:36:18]  I mean, that is the hinge of human motivation that we have used.
[01:36:22]  And certainly if you look at scripture, the idea of striving for economic flourishing for your family.
[01:36:28]  So they really are remaking the world.
[01:36:30]  And the reality is they've been at this a long time.
[01:36:33]  You saw it coming early.
[01:36:35]  I'm very concerned that people haven't, on our side, really understood the 5D chess game and the speed with which this is happening.
[01:36:44]  And that's why I called it Code RED.
[01:36:45]  Two reasons.
[01:36:46]  One, an alert flare.
[01:36:47]  And two, our side, the Red Team, needs a code.
[01:36:50]  We need a set of principles of how we're going to get through this for our kids and ourselves and our country.
[01:36:54]  Hit that basically.
[01:36:56]  Just quickly, because you really outline it in the book.
[01:37:00]  But hit, how do we deal with this with our kids?
[01:37:04]  Glenn, I think the future is not teaching our kids how to find jobs, but how to create them.
[01:37:12]  And that's one of the more hopeful parts of this AI era.
[01:37:15]  You will have superpowered for those people who have fire in the belly for entrepreneurship a real opportunity to do way more with way less.
[01:37:24]  And so I would say there's three pieces for parents and grandparents.
[01:37:28]  Number one, I know you're very concerned about the erosion of critical thinking and education.
[01:37:34]  The trivium has served us for centuries, the trivium, logic, grammar, and rhetoric.
[01:37:39]  And I think that classical model of really building strong, independent minds that can seek out truth and know when they're being spun and when they are actually dealing in truth, that has served humanity for so long and we have to keep that.
[01:37:53]  So that's your base layer of your pyramid.
[01:37:55]  Second layer is the entrepreneurial tools, showing your daughter or your son or your grandchild how to build a business regardless of whatever their passion or their God-given calling is in their life, so they know how to set up an LLC.
[01:38:13]  They know how to set up a website, they understand advertising.
[01:38:17]  Those skills will be a great template that can move with where the world is going in AI.
[01:38:23]  And then the third layer is the AI tools, because you rightly said, we don't get to opt out of this.
[01:38:28]  I mean, I think one of the misconceptions people think is, oh, I don't have to use AI.
[01:38:32]  First of all, you already do use AI.
[01:38:34]  99% of us use AI every single day, even though 64% of people don't know when they're using it.
[01:38:40]  How is that?
[01:38:40]  Your weather apps, your streaming service, social media algorithms.
[01:38:45]  And so if we're going to have to use it in a modern world, we might as well learn to use it well.
[01:38:50]  So I think if we have that mindset of strong minds with the trivium, the entrepreneurial layer and the AI piece, that's the best way to build moats for our children and grandchildren to really teach them how to create those jobs, not just how to fill out a resume.
[01:39:06]  I have to tell you, I'm probably a year away from the AI that I've been working on being even close to right.
[01:39:14]  And I'm getting so much heat from people.
[01:39:16]  And they're like, why are you using AI?
[01:39:17]  And don't you know AI is evil?
[01:39:19]  And yada, yada, yada.
[01:39:20]  And I'll never use AI.
[01:39:22]  And I'm telling you, this is what this is going to lead to is a world where you're going to use AI, whether you like it or not, unless you're Amish.
[01:39:37]  You're going to use AI, and it's going to be somebody else's AI, just like we used the media that was built by someone else.
[01:39:47]  And we were like, oh, well, I don't need to be in a media.
[01:39:49]  I've got the three channels.
[01:39:50]  I got the networks, ABC, NBC, CBS, and now I've got CNN and MSNBC.
[01:39:55]  And it's all got to be fine.
[01:39:57]  You're using something that somebody else is building.
[01:39:59]  And I'm telling you, if the conservative movement doesn't get on to AI, I don't think you're ever going to catch up.
[01:40:08]  This time, you'll just be boxed out.
[01:40:10]  You just won't catch up.
[01:40:13]  The conservative movement must be involved in this.
[01:40:18]  Do you agree or disagree?
[01:40:19]  Oh, you are.
[01:40:20]  I'm grateful that you just said that, and we should say it often.
[01:40:25]  Look, the left would love nothing more than for conservatives to unilaterally disarm with the greatest and most powerful information weapon ever devised by human minds and put on the battlefield of ideas.
[01:40:40]  I mean, so, yes, on the one hand, we can lament this reality, but we have to accept this reality.
[01:40:49]  And I think that means understanding that this bullet train has already left the station, and we have to be on it.
[01:40:56]  And we have to really understand what I call the roses of possibility and there are.
[01:41:01]  And I don't want to suggest that it's all doom.
[01:41:04]  But we have to understand that we also have numerous landmines, political new landmines that we are going to have to learn how to navigate around.
[01:41:11]  And you can't do that if you don't understand the technology.
[01:41:14]  So you're absolutely right, Glenn.
[01:41:17]  And it's one of those buffers.
[01:41:18]  I mean, look, as conservatives, you know, we want to stand athwart history yelling, stop.
[01:41:23]  But Buckley wasn't saying that we stop technological innovation.
[01:41:28]  He was saying we stop the erosion of the diminution of the values that have instantiated human history for millennia.
[01:41:36]  So I think that we have to adopt these tools.
[01:41:40]  And one of the things, though, that we really do need to understand is just how woke and biased they are and how the left has very specific agenda for weaponizing these tools against us.
[01:41:53]  And you get Trump out of there, and it is going to come back with a vengeance.
[01:41:58]  You're just not going to understand.
[01:42:01]  It's coming with a vengeance the minute he or the Republicans leave.
[01:42:07]  We're talking to Winton Hall.
[01:42:09]  The name of the book is Code Red: The Left, The Right, China, and the Race to Control AI by Windenhall.
[01:42:16]  You can get it wherever you get your books.
[01:42:17]  Go to Amazon and grab a copy.
[01:42:20]  I want to talk to you about one more thing.
[01:42:21]  I got to take a one-minute break.
[01:42:22]  If I have time, I want to talk to you about AI God and the coming crisis of meaning because it's a fabulous chapter.
[01:42:29]  But I don't know if we have time because I want to talk to you about war and the use of this with war and what the Pentagon is going through right now.
[01:42:36]  We'll talk about that in just a second.
[01:42:38]  Give me 60 seconds and back to the conversation.

=== Code Red Book Review (06:23) ===

[01:42:40]  First, sleep is one of the strangest things about the human body.
[01:42:42]  When it's working right, you know, you don't think about it at all.
[01:42:45]  You lay your head down, night passes, you wake up ready for the day.
[01:42:48]  But when it's not working, it starts affecting absolutely everything in your life.
[01:42:52]  Your energy drops.
[01:42:53]  Your focus isn't what it should be.
[01:42:55]  Even the small things during the day start feeling harder than they need to be.
[01:42:58]  And you get grumpy when you go to bed, honestly, don't you?
[01:43:02]  You feel the problem in everything.
[01:43:05]  Well, Z-Factor is not something to knock you out, make you groggy, make you feel heavy the next day.
[01:43:11]  It's a different approach.
[01:43:12]  It's a sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor, and it's designed to support the kind of natural restorative sleep that your body actually needs.
[01:43:20]  That means not just falling asleep, but staying asleep and waking up feeling like you actually rested.
[01:43:25]  Right now, you can save 46% on your first order, just $19.95 for a 30-day supply call 800 for Relief, 800, the number four relief, or visit relieffactor.com.
[01:43:36]  That's relieffactor.com, 10-second station ID.
[01:43:48]  I mean, the stuff about, you know, beating China with AI but not becoming China is so important.
[01:43:56]  And the final chapter about God is so important.
[01:43:59]  But we know now that the Maduro raid and what's happening over in the Middle East right now, we know that our military is using AI.
[01:44:10]  Do you know how deeply that is being used?
[01:44:14]  And how do we balance this use of AI for keeping humans still the ones on the trigger, but also this techno-surveillance state that is, I mean, there is no place in the world to hide.
[01:44:33]  No, that's exactly right.
[01:44:35]  It is a whole new world.
[01:44:36]  We've got to be coached up fast so that we can preserve our constitutional principles, the values that we as Americans hold dear, but at the same time that we give our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines, and our military leadership the ultimate superiority on the battlefield possible.
[01:44:54]  So for the first part on Maduro, Iran, all of that, one of the things that people need to understand that's, I think, it's not nearly as cinematic as thinking of a Terminator with big old laser beam eyes and the rest of it, but is enormously useful, is AI that is able to do massive pattern recognition at scale, particularly for intelligence.
[01:45:17]  So when you're gathering all this intercepted communication, optics, imagery, audio, visuals, target locations, it would take teams of hundreds, if not thousands, of Intel officers months to sift and sort through that.
[01:45:32]  When you're talking about huge AI systems and deep learning and machine learning that can scan and go through that at warp speed, that really does give us a speed advantage.
[01:45:42]  Now, you made the right exact point, and we have to emphasize it, which is you have to make sure that you not just have human in the loop, but you have human override.
[01:45:51]  And so those generals, those commanders, they have to be the ones that are looking at that data assessment to figure out if that target needs to be hit.
[01:46:00]  But there is no question that it will help also to reduce civilian casualties and also get us out of forever wars because you're able to have battlefield advantage very quickly.
[01:46:10]  So there are upsides in this.
[01:46:12]  The downsides, I think, are the obvious things, right?
[01:46:14]  Which is when you start moving into fully autonomous AI weaponry, how do you make sure that the AI doesn't start to do things that are misaligned with human interests and even life?
[01:46:28]  So it is a new matrix and it's moving extremely fast.
[01:46:32]  And that's you're exactly right.
[01:46:33]  What I wanted to lay out, here are the stakes and here's what I think we need to do in this new AI warfare world.
[01:46:40]  Wynton, I'd love to have you back on again.
[01:46:42]  I think this is just, I think this is one of the most important things.
[01:46:48]  I mean, there's probably three or five topics now that are just like critical, as you say, code read.
[01:46:54]  And this is one of them.
[01:46:56]  I'd love to have you back on.
[01:46:57]  Maybe we'll do a podcast or something long form.
[01:46:59]  Winton Hall, the name of the book is Code Red, The Left, The Right, China, and the Race to Control AI.
[01:47:06]  This is a very important book.
[01:47:08]  Pick it up now, wherever you get your books, and begin to digest because it is coming faster than you can possibly imagine.
[01:47:18]  I think the war in Iran, what's happening right now, I think it would look wildly different, wildly different than it looks right now.
[01:47:28]  The difference is AI, and you don't even know it.
[01:47:31]  But it's coming fast.
[01:47:34]  Wenton, thank you so much.
[01:47:35]  We'll be back with more in a minute.
[01:47:46]  Let me share something a listener sent in recently.
[01:47:49]  They said a big storm rolled through their area, kind of takes out power lines, knocks trees down, and leaves the whole neighborhood in the dark.
[01:47:54]  And soon the cell network was useless.
[01:47:57]  But they wrote, the rapid radios kept me working the entire time.
[01:48:02]  One button, and they could talk instantly with family members miles away, making sure that everybody was safe and coordinated and could get things that needed to be done done.
[01:48:13]  That's because rapid radios use a nationwide LTE network, which means you get coast-to-coast communication with unlimited range.
[01:48:22]  They're easy to use.
[01:48:23]  There are no licenses, no programming, no contacts, just the radio.
[01:48:29]  That's it.
[01:48:30]  No monthly fees.
[01:48:31]  You turn them on and you start talking.
[01:48:34]  There's a reason that more than half a million people across the country are using them, including law enforcement, border control, even NASA.

=== Anti-Semitism Claims Unravel Country (14:31) ===

[01:49:03]  Glenn blows open the court documents and FBI recordings that show Islam's blueprint to take over the West.
[01:49:09]  join glenbeck.com torch to see this special thursday night
[01:49:25]  uh so about an hour ago news broke uh that we had a senior intelligence official and i mean senior um step forward and issue a statement It's not a quiet one.
[01:49:47]  In the statement, he makes charges so sweeping that it doesn't just question policy, it questions the very legitimacy of war.
[01:49:59]  He has said in plain language that the United States was drawn into this war under false pretenses, and it was Israel that did it.
[01:50:13]  That alone is bad.
[01:50:15]  But he didn't stop there.
[01:50:18]  He pointed the finger at Donald Trump saying that he was duped and he was duped by, of course, you know who, you know, the Jews.
[01:50:35]  Anti-Semitism is not theoretical.
[01:50:38]  This is actual.
[01:50:40]  It is rising.
[01:50:41]  It is visible.
[01:50:43]  It is dangerous.
[01:50:45]  And he has chosen to frame his accusation in a way, you know, that risks pouring fuel on something already burning.
[01:50:55]  And he did it without any facts at all.
[01:50:58]  Now, the White House is responding.
[01:51:00]  I'll get to that here in a second, but the cats are already out of the bag.
[01:51:10]  You don't put this one back in.
[01:51:14]  You know, this is not a small decision here that he made.
[01:51:19]  You know, it's not just a careless sentence here.
[01:51:22]  This is something that is going to echo for a long, long time because we are currently arguing about them Jews.
[01:51:34]  And I don't understand it.
[01:51:36]  I understand you can argue about Israel and everything else, and that is totally fine, but it's different.
[01:51:43]  This is different.
[01:51:45]  And if you're going to make a claim about the United States being manipulated into war, if you're going to suggest that powerful interests, not just strategic mistakes, not just bad intelligence, but deliberate influence drove us into bloodshed, then you're no longer offering an opinion.
[01:52:05]  You are alleging a scandal of historic magnitude.
[01:52:10]  And the kind of scandal that, if proven, will not just end careers.
[01:52:15]  It will shake the presidency.
[01:52:17]  It will fracture our alliances, force a reckoning that this country has not seen in generations.
[01:52:24]  And if it's true, then let the chips fall where they may.
[01:52:30]  This is the weight of what has been said.
[01:52:34]  And when something carries that kind of weight, I think there's a kind of a pretty good rule.
[01:52:43]  You don't make an accusation without bringing the evidence.
[01:52:48]  Not later, not eventually, not hinted at, now.
[01:52:55]  Because without evidence, something else happens.
[01:52:58]  Trust collapses, institutions fracture, and people, good people, look for somebody to blame.
[01:53:06]  And history is, you know, full of moments where fear and anger were given a target.
[01:53:18]  Those moments don't end well.
[01:53:21]  They never have.
[01:53:24]  If he is right, if he can prove that this nation was led into war through deception and pressure, then he has a duty to lay that proof before the American people immediately.
[01:53:37]  And not for politics, not for positioning, not for a book, but because the truth, in that case, would be a matter of national survival.
[01:53:48]  And if he cannot produce the proof, then what he's done is so incredibly reckless and dangerous.
[01:53:57]  He has released a charge powerful enough to divide our nation in half.
[01:54:05]  He has introduced suspicion and whispers where clarity is needed.
[01:54:13]  He has taken a moment of real danger and he has taken nitroglycerin and strapped it to a paint shaker.
[01:54:31]  There are times that you speak.
[01:54:37]  And there are times that you do not speak, even if you have all kinds of suspicion.
[01:54:47]  Unless you have proof, you do not speak, because that is a form of recklessness at a biblical scale.
[01:54:56]  This is not a cable news segment.
[01:55:00]  This is not a policy disagreement.
[01:55:03]  This is the kind of claim that can unravel a country if it's true.
[01:55:09]  It can wound it deeply if it's not.
[01:55:16]  The line I think is really simple and it's non-negotiable.
[01:55:20]  Bring the evidence.
[01:55:23]  Lay it out.
[01:55:24]  Let it be examined.
[01:55:25]  Let it stand or fall in the light.
[01:55:29]  You want to say Donald Trump was duped by the Jews?
[01:55:34]  Bring the evidence.
[01:55:36]  I'll stand with you if it's true, but bring the evidence.
[01:55:49]  And why did it take you this long to say something?
[01:55:53]  Why?
[01:55:54]  Were you hoping that it would just go away in a few days?
[01:55:57]  So it was okay if it was a few days?
[01:55:59]  I don't understand.
[01:56:01]  When the stakes are this high, the American people deserve more than accusations.
[01:56:07]  They deserve the truth fully, completely, and without delay.
[01:56:11]  Now, the White House has come out and they have made a statement about Joe and his volcano.
[01:56:21]  Ricky, what is the White House saying now?
[01:56:25]  To clarify, the White House hasn't officially said something.
[01:56:29]  What they did do is they, yes, they retweeted a former White House staffer who said Joe Kent is a crazed egomaniac who is often at the center of national security leaks.
[01:56:41]  He also said he spent all of his time working to subvert the chain of command and undermine the president.
[01:56:46]  It's not some principled resignation.
[01:56:47]  He just wanted to make a splash before getting canned.
[01:56:50]  Now, the rapid response director for the White House retweeted that, I assume, in lieu of the White House being able and ready to make a formal statement.
[01:56:59]  That's on when he goes on Tucker's podcast this week?
[01:57:02]  Don't answer that.
[01:57:04]  Yeah, he will be there.
[01:57:06]  Maybe today.
[01:57:08]  Maybe today.
[01:57:10]  And this is, again, look, I am for the truth.
[01:57:14]  I want the truth.
[01:57:16]  Israel is not my country.
[01:57:19]  I have no horse in that race other than what I feel is the right thing on how to treat people.
[01:57:30]  But I don't like their policies.
[01:57:33]  I don't like their government, quite honestly.
[01:57:35]  I mean, they're very socialist.
[01:57:38]  I don't like it.
[01:57:39]  But I don't have to like it.
[01:57:44]  But I love the fact that people are saying, you know, Zionism is just as dangerous as Islamism.
[01:57:50]  It is?
[01:57:52]  Can we just think about that for a second?
[01:57:54]  If the Zionist, and I mean the crazy Zionist, got everything they wanted, what would the world be like?
[01:58:03]  It would be a world that Jerusalem or Israel would be a little bigger than it is now.
[01:58:08]  It would have all of the historic land.
[01:58:11]  It might even take some of it, let's just be crazy, take some of it from the neighbors.
[01:58:15]  It would maybe oppress any neighbor that was trying to kill it.
[01:58:19]  And it would pass all kinds of laws to protect it and, you know, pass anti-Semitism laws and things that I'm not for.
[01:58:28]  It would do all kinds of stuff.
[01:58:29]  And it would work through pressure and negotiation, kind of like the U.S. State Department works right now, because it would be its country and it would be doing all it could to get other countries to do its bidding.
[01:58:45]  That is if they got everything they wanted.
[01:58:49]  What would happen if Iran got its way?
[01:58:53]  It would be a global caliphate.
[01:58:57]  And anyone who opposed it would be beheaded.
[01:59:01]  They would claim there are no more gays in the world and they would kill them all.
[01:59:06]  They would marry your nine-year-old daughter off to some 40-year-old man.
[01:59:12]  So I don't think it's the same.
[01:59:16]  Look, you can oppose a war without hating Jews.
[01:59:21]  You can oppose Netanyahu without hating Jews.
[01:59:24]  You could say America shouldn't fight every conflict in the Middle East.
[01:59:28]  I agree with that.
[01:59:29]  But you don't have to hate the Jews.
[01:59:31]  None of that is anti-Semitism.
[01:59:34]  That's foreign policy judgment.
[01:59:38]  Anti-Semitism is real.
[01:59:40]  And I'm not saying that Joe is an anti-Semite for saying these things.
[01:59:46]  I'm not saying that.
[01:59:48]  I'm saying he's making it really difficult because there are a ton of anti-Semites that are like, see, I told you, the Jews are behind it all.
[01:59:59]  Anti-Semitism begins when Jews stop being treated like human beings and start being treated like a mythical explanation for everything.
[02:00:09]  When I oppose a policy, it's fine.
[02:00:13]  Unless that becomes, you know, these people run everything.
[02:00:18]  When the criticism of a government becomes about, are they Jews?
[02:00:23]  When Israel is not judged by the standards that no other nation is judged by, when a Jew becomes not a neighbor or a citizen or a family, but a symbol where everything, this war is going badly, you know why?
[02:00:35]  The Jews.
[02:00:37]  That's the line.
[02:00:39]  That's the line.
[02:00:40]  And you know what?
[02:00:41]  We're confused about that line right now.
[02:00:44]  And you know why we're confused?
[02:00:46]  Because Iraq left scars on us.
[02:00:48]  So did Afghanistan.
[02:00:49]  Deep, deep scars.
[02:00:51]  And that's absolutely fair.
[02:00:53]  We should talk about that.
[02:00:55]  Iraq taught Americans governments can oversell a war, blur the evidence, underestimate the cost, you know, and that lesson is absolutely real.
[02:01:06]  But the lazy version of that is poison.
[02:01:11]  That war was sold badly, so every threat is a fake.
[02:01:17]  And one ally has interests, and that ally therefore must be the puppet master of every American action.
[02:01:28]  Okay, really?
[02:01:29]  That's not wisdom.
[02:01:30]  That is trauma dressed up as sophistication.
[02:01:34]  That's what that is.
[02:01:35]  Iran threatened America and American forces for decades through proxies and terror.
[02:01:41]  Now, it doesn't prove automatically that every strike is wise, that this war is even wise.
[02:01:47]  But it does mean that the argument cannot honestly begin with what Joe says, there was no threat at all.
[02:01:54]  Serious people start with the truth, not a slogan that flatters their side.
[02:01:59]  There was a threat.
[02:02:01]  Now, was it something that we should have gone in and bombed?
[02:02:05]  That's open for discussion.
[02:02:07]  As I said earlier, I want to see the evidence.
[02:02:11]  Okay?
[02:02:13]  That's the truth.
[02:02:15]  That's the truth.
[02:02:17]  You have to ask yourself three questions.
[02:02:19]  Am I assigning collective guilt to a people?
[02:02:23]  Am I applying a standard to Israel that would never apply to Turkey or Pakistan or Jordan or China or to my own country?
[02:02:29]  Am I following evidence or am I reaching for the oldest temptation in politics and that's just to make the Jew the grand unifying answer to a very complicated world?
[02:02:42]  If you can answer those honestly, you can disagree and you can stay clean.
[02:02:47]  You can disagree forcefully and stay clean.
[02:02:51]  But once you tread into it's because they run the world.
[02:02:57]  Really, who runs the world?
[02:02:58]  You're really telling me that the Jews run the world over the United States of America?
[02:03:06]  The Jews run the world over America and China?
[02:03:10]  Wow, that is a fabulous magic trick.
[02:03:14]  That the Jews somehow or another have a magic spell that they can make Donald Trump listen to him when no one on the planet, maybe not even Melania, can make him listen?
[02:03:27]  What a magic trick that is.
[02:03:29]  They must have mystical powers.
[02:03:31]  I read about them in the Elders of Zion.

=== Feared Time For You (03:05) ===

[02:03:35]  Back in a minute.
[02:03:38]  Your body is doing maintenance all the time while you're working, while you're sleeping, even while you're just sitting there listening.
[02:03:44]  You know, cells are repairing.
[02:03:46]  You know, our little systems inside our body are constantly trying to keep everything running the way it is supposed to.
[02:03:53]  And sometimes that process gets overwhelmed and inflammation builds up and muscles take longer to recover than they used to.
[02:03:59]  And suddenly your body feels like it's working harder to do just the same thing it's always done.
[02:04:03]  Relief Factor has created something that can help you put that, support your natural process.
[02:04:11]  It's a daily supplement.
[02:04:12]  It's designed for your body and it will help your body manage the inflammation and support joint and muscle comfort so you can keep doing the things you want to do.
[02:04:20]  And over a million people have tried it and over two-thirds of them have gone on to take more.
[02:04:25]  So if you've been listening to me talk about Relief Factor for a while, maybe this is the moment you try it.
[02:04:30]  If you're ready, you're ready to get out of pain.
[02:04:34]  If you're already taking it, you'll get an enhanced formula designed to work even smarter now.
[02:04:39]  But if you haven't taken it, try their three-week quick start.
[02:04:42]  This might be the time for you.
[02:04:43]  1995, relieffactor.com, 800 for relief, 800, the number four relief.
[02:04:48]  It's relieffactor.com.
[02:04:50]  Dividers can call us names.
[02:04:52]  We're a threat to the world towards a democracy.
[02:04:55]  Silly greasy pig.
[02:04:56]  We just call each other neighbor and friend.
[02:04:59]  We'll be right back.
[02:05:16]  This whole time, we've feared.
[02:05:19]  We fought against Islamic terrorism.
[02:05:23]  But the Islamist threat is even more terrifying than that.
[02:05:27]  They're here.
[02:05:29]  They've been here.
[02:05:30]  They've waited.
[02:05:32]  And faster than ever, they're making their moves.
[02:05:35]  They're Islamists.
[02:05:37]  Islamists want the United States to resemble Islamic republics in the Middle East.
[02:05:43]  Our goal is to make America Islam.
[02:05:45]  Real god.
[02:05:45]  Islamic statements.
[02:05:46]  They're among us.
[02:05:47]  They're among our politicians, among our city leaders.
[02:05:50]  There's a template and a playbook that is in motion.
[02:05:53]  We're living here to shift this country's political direction.
[02:05:56]  Engaging in dawah, and dawah is essential.
[02:05:59]  And most of the Western world isn't even aware of what's happening.
[02:06:03]  As a doctor, I don't just treat symptoms.
[02:06:05]  Terrorism is a symptom.
[02:06:07]  The disease, the cancer is political Islam.
[02:06:10]  It's incompatible with everything that America and the Western world stands for.
[02:06:16]  Honor violence, honor killings, child marriage.
[02:06:20]  We have this idea that, oh, we can't judge other cultures.
[02:06:23]  And it's happening in more ways than you could imagine.
[02:06:26]  This is economic jihad.
[02:06:28]  So which side will win the ideological battle for the West?
