[00:00:00]  War affects supply chains.
[00:00:01]  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.
[00:00:10]  About 20% of the world's oil passes through it.
[00:00:12]  And when conflicts in that region happen, it is effectively closed right now.
[00:00:18]  Consequences will ripple out fast.
[00:00:20]  Air freight costs have already soared by as much as 400%.
[00:00:24]  Some shipping routes now require detours that add close to a million dollars to a single voyage.
[00:00:30]  And those costs are passed right along to you.
[00:00:32]  Experts are warning that this could escalate before it even starts to settle down.
[00:00:35]  What happens the next time you need a prescription and the pharmacy can't get it?

[00:01:45]  Now let's get to work.
[00:02:28]  The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
[00:02:34]  This is the Glenn Beck program.
[00:02:38]  Glenn Beck is on.
[00:02:42]  Holy cow, there is a ton that is happening.
[00:02:45]  I mean, breaking news right now.
[00:02:48]  A final blow, which is what the press is calling it, a final blow is about to be delivered to Iran.
[00:02:56]  What does that mean?
[00:02:58]  I'm going to show you the options.
[00:02:59]  And quite honestly, none of them sound like a final blow to me.
[00:03:02]  So it may be just the press, but we are preparing to do something because Iran rejected the Trump outreach.
[00:03:12]  And in fact, it got a little worse.
[00:03:14]  But things are changing in the Middle East and things are changing here as well.
[00:03:18]  We have that and so much more to cover.
[00:03:21]  Just in the first hour, we can begin here in 60 seconds.
[00:03:24]  First, let me tell you about my Patriot supply.
[00:03:26]  Let's talk about how your brain handles risk.
[00:03:29]  You know, when something feels immediate, a car drifting into your lane or a sudden noise in the night, you react without hesitation because your body knows what's at stake.
[00:03:38]  When the threat is quieter, more distance, your mind has a way of acknowledging it and then tucking that away for later.
[00:03:45]  That's how people, you know, end up knowing they should be prepared without actually ever getting prepared.
[00:03:50]  This is where my Patriot supply comes in.
[00:03:54]  They're going to send you long-term emergency food kits that are designed to last for years, store easily, and give you real meals when you actually need them.
[00:04:02]  Not just calories, but food you can rely on when everything else gets unpredictable.
[00:04:06]  They've taken some people, you know, most people, keep putting off and turned it into something you can handle right now without overthinking it or wondering if you've missed something important.
[00:04:15]  So you've been thinking about getting prepared.
[00:04:16]  Now is the time.
[00:04:17]  Go to preparewithglenn.com.
[00:04:18]  Find a limited time special offer that'll help you get ready for whatever might be coming our way.
[00:04:23]  It's preparewithglenn.com.
[00:04:24]  See our preparedness special offer, preparewithglen.com.
[00:04:33]  You know, as I'm reading that commercial, I'm thinking to myself, gee, I wonder what could be coming our way.
[00:04:37]  I think real trouble is coming our way.
[00:04:39]  I hope not.
[00:04:40]  I hope not.
[00:04:41]  But you know how I've told you, if you're a long-time listener, you know, I've always told you that I get more optimistic and I don't know.
[00:04:53]  I go into a different mode when things start to get bad.
[00:04:57]  I'm in a different mode.
[00:05:00]  I just kind of realized as I was writing some stuff last night, I have a really hard time writing, you know, some things that are uplifting and else I'm like a doom,
[00:05:14]  I am the guy that you don't want to be on the first half of the ride on the Titanic.
[00:05:21]  You don't want me anywhere near you from England to the iceberg.
[00:05:26]  But then you want to be standing right next to me once the boat is sinking because I'm very, very, you know, encouraging.
[00:05:32]  And I'm starting to become very encouraging.
[00:05:34]  And that always makes my staff nervous.
[00:05:36]  In fact, somebody said on the insider feed last night, I saw, I'm very, what is it?
[00:05:44]  I'm very nervous because Glenn's not nervous or something like that.
[00:05:50]  I think it should be made into a t-shirt, quite honestly.
[00:05:52]  But something is, something is coming our way.
[00:05:57]  And we're going to make it through it.
[00:05:58]  And it's going to be fine, but it's going to be tough.
[00:06:00]  It is going to be tough.
[00:06:01]  Let me give you the news from the Middle East today.
[00:06:04]  Iran has rejected our ceasefire proposals.
[00:06:08]  Not a surprise there.
[00:06:09]  They've made some concessions, such as allowing some fuel tankers through the Straits of Hormuz, but that's not going to, that's not going to.
[00:06:17]  Axios is reporting today, this morning, that, quote, a final blow is being prepared for launch.
[00:06:26]  Okay, that doesn't sound really good.
[00:06:28]  A final blow?
[00:06:31]  Now, in the story, they are outlining the four possibilities.
[00:06:36]  And I don't think these are the, I mean, who's going to is Heg Seth calling up Axios and saying, I got, look, we're looking at four possibilities here.
[00:06:43]  So you don't have any idea what is real and what's not here.
[00:06:46]  But they're describing the four objectives or options.
[00:06:50]  One, invading or blockading Karg Island.
[00:06:54]  Okay.
[00:06:55]  Invading a different island that is a main IRGC base to shut down the strait.
[00:07:01]  So there's Karg Island where they actually are loading all of the oil and everything else.
[00:07:06]  And it's also a defensive island for the strait.
[00:07:10]  And then there's apparently another island that has the IRGC base, but why would we occupy it?
[00:07:16]  Why wouldn't we just blow up the base?
[00:07:18]  It's just me, maybe.
[00:07:20]  Then option three is to invade and seize two other islands in the strait.
[00:07:28]  I don't like any of those options, quite honestly.
[00:07:30]  I don't like the idea of boots on the ground, but I understand if in a limited way we have to do it, slippery slope.
[00:07:39]  And then the other one is blocking or seizing ships that are carrying Iranian oil.
[00:07:43]  None of those sound like a final blow.
[00:07:46]  They sound like an expansion, but they don't sound like a final blow to me.
[00:07:50]  Maybe it's just me.
[00:07:51]  Jason, do these sound like a final blow to you?
[00:07:54]  I mean, that on its own does not sound like a final blow, but we don't know what the Israelis have in mind.
[00:07:58]  So if this coincided with, you know, opening up the straits with also the Israelis targeting the, you know, security forces on the ground, that sounds more of like it.
[00:08:07]  But this seems just like the next step in the operation, really, to me.
[00:08:12]  Yeah, it does.
[00:08:13]  It just seems like an expansion of this.
[00:08:15]  Speaking of Israel, they just announced that last night they killed the IRGC naval chief.
[00:08:22]  This is the guy who was in charge of closing the Strait of Hormuz in the first place, and they killed him last night.
[00:08:31]  Yeah, you know the rest of this.
[00:08:33]  So we got that going for us.
[00:08:35]  They are, they're deadly.
[00:08:38]  They're deadly.
[00:08:38]  Has anybody seen the, what is it, on Apple?
[00:08:43]  Yeah, Tehran.
[00:08:44]  It came out a couple of, I think a couple of years ago, and I just, I wasn't interested, didn't watch it.
[00:08:51]  And my wife said, hey, I've talked to a friend.
[00:08:53]  They said, Turan, they've been watching Tehran.
[00:08:55]  It's really good.
[00:08:56]  It is really good.
[00:08:57]  Have you seen it, Jason?
[00:08:58]  Have you seen it, Ricky?
[00:09:00]  I mean, I've seen the poster for it.
[00:09:03]  I thought about diving in, but because I am concerned about the war, I actually didn't want to watch it.
[00:09:09]  I thought it would freak me out.
[00:09:10]  It's actually, it's very clarifying.
[00:09:14]  And it's also, if you like those old Cold War movies where about spies and how we got behind the Iron Curtain and everything else, this is like the Cold War.
[00:09:24]  It's the spying of the Mossad on Iran and what Iran tries to do to stop Israel.
[00:09:31]  And it's hair raising.
[00:09:33]  It is really, really hair raising.
[00:09:35]  I have no idea.
[00:09:36]  It looks like it was all filmed in Iran.
[00:09:38]  I don't know how they got that to happen because it's not really positive, you know, on Iran, but maybe it's just me.
[00:09:47]  Maybe they're thinking, oh, I like this because it says who they really are.
[00:09:51]  But at the same time that we are talking about winding things down and having a final blow, multiple Arab countries that are aligned with us are now publicly urging that the conflict cannot end yet.
[00:10:07]  I'm sorry, Glenn, can I interrupt you here?
[00:10:09]  Yeah.
[00:10:11]  What do you mean?
[00:10:12]  Since when do Arab Gulf leaders want to destroy Iran as much or more than Israel?
[00:10:17]  This does not square for me.
[00:10:20]  They're wanting to get involved.
[00:10:22]  The reason why they haven't wanted to get involved in the past is not because they don't, not because they like Israel, because they don't want to set the Middle East on fire between Sunni and Shia.
[00:10:32]  Correct me if I'm wrong on this, Jason.
[00:10:34]  Love your analysis on this.
[00:10:35]  They don't want to set the world on fire between Sunni and Shia, but they have no love at all.
[00:10:40]  They are enemies with Iran, especially the 12vers in Iran.
[00:10:45]  They are concerned this time around because Iran has struck their cities, their oil, in particular, their oil rigs and distribution centers, et cetera, et cetera.
[00:10:59]  If that falls, if they shut down the Strait of Hormuz and Saudi Arabia and these other countries can't get their oil out and sold, they begin to collapse.
[00:11:11]  The reason why those Arab nations are so peaceful, you know, look, they all get along.
[00:11:17]  Everybody gets along.
[00:11:19]  And it doesn't look like the rest is because of the money.
[00:11:21]  They have so much money.
[00:11:23]  They pretty much just put their extremists to sleep with money, I think.
[00:11:31]  And so they kind of buy peace.
[00:11:33]  If that money system falls apart, they're in real trouble.
[00:11:38]  So got to get rid of the Shias, the 12ers in the Shia movement, according to any Sunni.
[00:11:47]  And then also, we can't let this disrupt our system.
[00:11:51]  It will set our own nation on fire.
[00:11:53]  What do you think of that, Jason?
[00:11:54]  Is that a good answer or not?
[00:11:55]  Yeah, yeah, I think it is.
[00:11:57]  I think the Saudis have a huge Shia population within Saudi Arabia, and a lot of them have seen exactly what I read would want to do with a lot of these Gulf kingdoms is what they did to Yemen,
[00:12:10]  utilizing their proxies all over the country, all over the region.
[00:12:14]  And that's a legitimate threat for all of these Gulf kingdoms.
[00:12:18]  So they're worried about that for sure.
[00:12:20]  But also, the Gulf kingdoms have become...
[00:12:22]  I am.
[00:12:22]  Excuse me.
[00:12:23]  Hang on just a second.
[00:12:24]  Excuse me.
[00:12:25]  Excuse me for...
[00:12:27]  I'm going to pretend I don't know what they did to Yemen.
[00:12:32]  What did they do to Yemen?
[00:12:34]  So through groups like the Houthis, one of the stupidest terror group names in modern history.
[00:12:41]  Right.
[00:12:43]  They have a hard time taking them seriously at all.
[00:12:46]  They effectively pressured the Yemeni government into being a full-on proxy of Iran.
[00:12:55]  That's exactly what happened in Lebanon through Hezbollah.
[00:12:57]  This has been the strategy for Iran to slowly turn the entire region Iranian and dominated by Twelver Shiism.
[00:13:05]  So they're all aware of that threat.
[00:13:07]  But also, I am so sick and tired of some of these Gulf Arab countries sending these strongly worded letters.
[00:13:14]  We beat it this time, guys.
[00:13:16]  They just did this yesterday.
[00:13:17]  All of us, and they put all the countries on there, every Gulf Arab kingdom, we're getting pissed.
[00:13:22]  Okay, if you are, why don't you take responsibility for your own region for once, for once, and not wait on us to do it for you.
[00:13:32]  But I think that's what Donald Trump was trying to do with the peace accords, trying to get them to step up and take responsibility for their own region.
[00:13:42]  And I think that's also kind of the leverage that he has when he's like, guys, we're not here.
[00:13:48]  We're not going to fight your war anymore.
[00:13:50]  We're not going to get entangled in a long, drawn-out war.
[00:13:53]  This is on you.
[00:13:54]  This is exactly what he's doing to Europe, too.
[00:13:57]  We're not here to fight your war anymore with Russia.
[00:14:00]  You're buying oil from them.
[00:14:03]  So don't expect us to hold them at bay anymore.
[00:14:06]  That's your deal, not ours.
[00:14:08]  And I think he's saying the same thing to the Arab world.
[00:14:10]  And that message is coming through loud and clear, perhaps for the very first time.
[00:14:16]  I'm so glad you brought up Europe in that strategy because we know the Trump doctrine at this point.
[00:14:20]  It is to empower these regions to do it themselves, whether that be Europe, even whether that be in Southeast Asia, countries like Japan.
[00:14:26]  Why is Japan still operating like it's still 1950 and they're still in Reconstruction?
[00:14:31]  The entire world is operating like it's still post-World War II reconstruction.
[00:14:35]  That's got to end.
[00:14:36]  It's got to end today.
[00:14:38]  Well, it is.
[00:14:39]  You saw what's happening with Japan.
[00:14:41]  I mean, this is, you know, anybody who says, this isn't America First.
[00:14:45]  Yeah, it is.
[00:14:46]  It's just not necessarily the obvious version of America First.
[00:14:52]  The obvious and utopian, but almost cartoonish version of America First is we just withdraw from everywhere.
[00:15:01]  That can't happen.
[00:15:02]  You cannot build a world with American troops on the ground all over the world and then just bring them all home.
[00:15:11]  The world would collapse into chaos.
[00:15:14]  So you have to first, I mean, you know, before you take something away, especially if somebody is dependent on it, you have to give them either something else to become dependent on or you have to get them to be strong enough to wean themselves off of that dependence.
[00:15:34]  That's what he's been doing, and he's doing it in a remarkably fast way.
[00:15:39]  Remember, this has been since 1945.
[00:15:42]  And in two years, less than two years, he has said to Europe, you're going to be on your own soon.
[00:15:50]  Well, soon in, you know, global government terms is, you know, glacier-like movement.
[00:16:00]  It's, you know, it would take decade or decades to move.
[00:16:05]  He's saying it's going to happen soon.
[00:16:07]  It's going to happen maybe by the end of the term.
[00:16:10]  You better get yourself prepared for us not being here.
[00:16:13]  And he's doing the same thing with Saudi Arabia and the entire Middle East and Israel and everybody.
[00:16:20]  We're going to take care.
[00:16:21]  So there's no nuclear missiles because Donald Trump knows nukes are the absolute worst.
[00:16:26]  It means we're all vaporized.
[00:16:28]  So we're going to take care of that, but we're not here to solve this problem.
[00:16:32]  That's your job.
[00:16:34]  And so he's holding them right now both at bay.
[00:16:37]  But I have a feeling that if this is a final blow, if that language is actually coming from the White House, that's another signal.
[00:16:48]  Look, we're not going to get involved deeper than this.
[00:16:53]  We are delivering what we can deliver.
[00:16:56]  We will make sure that that strait is open and the flow of oil is happening.
[00:17:02]  We will help there because we have the largest Navy in the world.
[00:17:06]  That is a responsibility we volunteer to take on because it helps us as well as the rest of the world.
[00:17:13]  But we're not solving your problem in the Middle East.
[00:17:15]  You got this Sunni Shia thing going on.
[00:17:17]  You got the terrorism thing going on.
[00:17:19]  Yes, it affects us.
[00:17:21]  We've just dropped a lot of ordinances on that country.
[00:17:26]  We have taken them and neutered them as much as we can.
[00:17:30]  The rest of it is up to you.
[00:17:32]  And I think that is a win if that's what he's doing.
[00:17:36]  All right.
[00:17:37]  Let me tell you about our sponsor.
[00:17:41]  Our sponsor is Rush Tax Resolution.
[00:17:46]  Let's say there's a letter sitting at your desk at home.
[00:17:48]  Okay.
[00:17:49]  You know the one.
[00:17:51]  You brought the mail in, you flip through it without really thinking and you set it down and you're like, oh, it says IRS on it.
[00:17:57]  I know what that's about.
[00:17:58]  I'll get to it later.
[00:17:59]  And at the time, that felt perfectly reasonable.
[00:18:01]  But what's inside of it?
[00:18:02]  It's back taxes and they've been accruing.
[00:18:05]  And, you know, if it's a notice, the clock has been moving and it's something maybe you don't even fully understand.
[00:18:11]  It hasn't been getting simpler.
[00:18:12]  It's only going to get worse and worse and worse.
[00:18:14]  You've got to have somebody to negotiate.
[00:18:17]  If you go in and try to do this yourself, you're going to be screwed.
[00:18:20]  You got to work with people who have experience working with complex or confusing, you know, returns and taxes and everything else and people who have been avoiding them.
[00:18:30]  They'll give you clear practical paths to get back into compliance, to deal with the IRS directly, save a buttload of money and start moving forward again.
[00:18:39]  Mention my name.
[00:18:40]  Rush is going to provide a free IRS transcript investigation that usually is $500.
[00:18:45]  That's what typical firms cost.
[00:18:47]  They're going to give it to you for free and there's nothing up front.
[00:18:51]  They will do it.
[00:18:53]  They will not take your case until they know they can do it and actually save you money and get you out of the mess you might be in.
[00:18:59]  Rush tax attorney, get one right now.
[00:19:01]  Protect yourself.
[00:19:02]  877-554-RUSH, 877-554-7874 or go to rushtaxresolution.com.
[00:19:11]  10 seconds, station ID.
[00:19:24]  So there is something else on this.
[00:19:27]  Russia also announced yesterday that they are preparing to send drones to Iran.
[00:19:37]  That is marking a shift from indirect to direct military support.
[00:19:44]  That's not a good sign if you're looking to bring things down.
[00:19:48]  We have proxy tensions now becoming direct alignments and major powers all over the world thinking I'm going to get involved or not.
[00:19:57]  I hope we are thinking, let's end this soon and come on home and let everybody else deal with it, but we'll see.
[00:20:06]  Huge red flags in Europe on free speech.
[00:20:12]  They have a problem in their country in England, in Germany, in all of Europe, has a problem.
[00:20:21]  The Islamists have moved in and they are taking control.
[00:20:26]  I don't know if you really understand what happened with the latest election with the Green Party in England, but the Green Party, you know, green for the earth, is now green because of Islam.
[00:20:40]  It is an Islamic party now, and it is becoming quite frightening what's going on, especially with the return of blasphemy laws now in England.
[00:20:54]  They're not traditional laws that are being passed by parliament.
[00:20:57]  You know, they're doing regulatory guideline crap, but I mean, it is really, really bad.
[00:21:03]  You mock, you joke, you question, you have legitimate questions about Islamic policies, traditions, practices.
[00:21:14]  You know, hey, I think somebody's raping my child.
[00:21:18]  If it makes a Muslim feel uneasy, unwelcome, or uncomfortable, they're saying now you'll go to prison.
[00:21:26]  How does anybody, how does, that's not a free society anymore.
[00:21:31]  That's not a free society.
[00:21:33]  How is Tommy Robinson going to be able to hold his rally?
[00:21:36]  How's he ever going to be able to go home or voice legitimate concerns and not spend the rest of his life in prison?
[00:21:43]  The answer is he can't.
[00:21:46]  And that has been the plan all along.
[00:21:49]  This is not about protection of minorities or religion.
[00:21:53]  This is about silencing any watchman on the wall that sees trouble coming and says, hey, we should talk about this.
[00:22:03]  This is happening in America.
[00:22:05]  Let me give you just a few.
[00:22:06]  Let me just give you a few examples.
[00:22:08]  We just did this special.
[00:22:09]  It's at glenbeck.com slash torch.
[00:22:13]  I want you to see this.
[00:22:15]  It's really in-depth.
[00:22:16]  People don't understand how close this is.
[00:22:20]  Let me give you this.
[00:22:21]  This is Islamic protesters in Philadelphia.
[00:22:25]  Cut four, please.
[00:22:26]  Listen to what he's saying.
[00:22:28]  Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy for every U.S. military base that crumbles and for every U.S. soldier who returns home in the casket.
[00:22:43]  We cheer!
[00:22:46]  Since when do we allow this kind of stuff?
[00:22:49]  They're talking about overthrowing America and cheering for our soldiers coming home in caskets killed by Hezbollah or Hamas.
[00:22:59]  That's in Philadelphia, gang.
[00:23:01]  That's in Philadelphia.
[00:23:02]  And I got a long list of this stuff.
[00:23:04]  We'll get into here in a second, but we're going to go to somebody who actually knows what's actually going on in the ground with the people in Iran next.
[00:23:12]  And if you are a torch subscriber, I am sorry to say we are being attacked again.
[00:23:19]  We are being cyber hacked again.
[00:23:22]  And I'm telling you, it has everything to do with what we're talking about right now.
[00:23:28]  All right.
[00:23:29]  Please stand by for more on that.
[00:23:33]  Let me tell you about the Bernal Launcher.
[00:23:35]  You're in an emergency situation, the kind where you have to protect yourself or your family from somebody dangerous, and there's no time to overthink it.
[00:23:41]  You know, I wish I had a gun.
[00:23:43]  Okay, that's a serious, sober thought, and in a lot of cases, it's the right one.
[00:23:48]  But a gun comes with real trouble.
[00:23:51]  When you pull that trigger, you're making the decision that can't be undone.
[00:23:55]  And most people don't think a lot of you know, spend a lot of time thinking about the moment where you need to act, but also don't necessarily want to kill somebody.
[00:24:03]  What do you do?
[00:24:04]  How do you stop it?
[00:24:06]  That's where the Burna launcher comes in.
[00:24:08]  It gives you a non-lethal option, something that you can use to defend yourself and your family from a distance using powerful pepper, tear gas, and kinetic projectiles.
[00:24:18]  It will stop a threat for up to 40 minutes, giving you guys a chance to escape.
[00:24:22]  It's legal in all 50 states.
[00:24:24]  Anyone over 18 can use it.
[00:24:26]  Doesn't require a permit.
[00:24:28]  Get one now.

[00:24:41]  Torch Insiders Get It Early.
[00:24:43]  Go to Glendeck.com/slash Torch.
[00:24:59]  We have been very outspoken about what is happening in Iran, who the bad guys are.
[00:25:09]  And this has been going on long before the war was there.
[00:25:14]  And we had the Crown Prince on with us, and it was the first time that we had had a serious, major cyber attack on our systems.
[00:25:28]  We have had them now four times.
[00:25:30]  Yesterday was another day where we were having a DDOS attack, and we're having it again today.
[00:25:38]  If you are an insider, thank you for putting up with this.
[00:25:41]  It seems like the more we talk about radicalized Islam in the Middle East, especially with Iran in particular, somebody is trying to take our site down.
[00:25:54]  So we appreciate it.
[00:25:55]  That is the importance of this network's radio family.
[00:26:01]  They can't take us off of the radio, but we appreciate your patience with this.
[00:26:07]  We are being told that it is a major attack that would have to be at this level some sort of a massive,
[00:26:18]  if not state-directed kind of DDoS attack.
[00:26:23]  So I guess it makes our next guest even more important.
[00:26:28]  Hosro Isfahani is the National Union for Democracy in Iran Research Director.
[00:26:37]  He grew up, was raised in Tehran.
[00:26:39]  He lived there for 30 years.
[00:26:41]  He worked as a journalist and a frontline human rights defender until 2021.
[00:26:46]  This guy is braver than I think most of us put together.
[00:26:49]  He has infiltrated secret missile facilities.
[00:26:51]  He smuggled classified documents out and he delivered aid quietly to the communities placed deliberately in harm's way over the years.
[00:27:01]  And I have been watching what he has to say.
[00:27:04]  He has sources on the ground in Iran.
[00:27:07]  Welcome.
[00:27:08]  How are you, Josro?
[00:27:10]  Hi, Gelen.
[00:27:11]  Thanks for having me.
[00:27:12]  And thank you very much for your kind words.
[00:27:15]  And more importantly, thank you for bringing light and attention to this very important story.
[00:27:21]  And obviously, the regime is not happy about what you're doing.
[00:27:24]  Thank you.
[00:27:26]  Yeah, well, I have to tell you, I think every American, everybody in the world should be concerned about what's happening to the Iranian and the Persian people.
[00:27:34]  They have been living under this dictatorship forever, and you don't have to be pro-war or anti-war.
[00:27:41]  You just have to be, you have to have some compassion for what the people have been going through between the women, the children, homosexuals.
[00:27:51]  I mean, anybody that they don't happen to agree with, they slaughter.
[00:27:56]  And I wanted to talk to you because I'd like to get a feeling of what is the mood on the ground in Iran.
[00:28:04]  I mean, they came out in droves, about 30,000 of them were slaughtered after that.
[00:28:10]  Now they're inside.
[00:28:11]  The president is saying, stay inside, but will they come back out?
[00:28:17]  Is there an appetite for coming out on the streets and risking it all again?
[00:28:24]  Here's the thing.
[00:28:25]  People in Iran already are back out.
[00:28:28]  Right now, we are celebrating Nowruz, the Persian New Year.
[00:28:33]  The actual celebrations, the main one happened a couple of days ago on March 20th.
[00:28:38]  Before Nowruz itself, we have this fire festival in Iran.
[00:28:42]  Every year, people get together, make bonfires, jump over them, making good wishes for the next year, dancing, singing.
[00:28:50]  That's the usual.
[00:28:51]  This year, Crown Prince Reza Pa Alavi, the leader of the opposition, issued a call asking people to celebrate this national moment, this national moment that we have held dear in our hearts,
[00:29:03]  despite the Islamic Republic trying to erase the Iranian history, Iranian culture, Iranian heritage.
[00:29:10]  He called on Iranians to not engage security forces, just celebrate the occasion in your neighborhood.
[00:29:18]  And people listened, as always.
[00:29:20]  They took to their streets in their neighborhoods.
[00:29:24]  They were singing, dancing, chanting against the supreme leader, against the new supreme leader, Mini Mushtabo, and the whole regime against the IRGC in support of the Crown Prince, all of that.
[00:29:37]  There is a video that came out the same night.
[00:29:40]  A woman is addressing Prime Minister Netanyahu, saying, Bibi Jun, dear Bibi, we know that you won't let them touch us.
[00:29:49]  And this trust, this trust that people took to the streets celebrating was not in vain.
[00:29:56]  The regime actually had issued threats telling people that we are going to kill you if you come to the streets to celebrate.
[00:30:03]  And they dispatched forces, Basij militia was dispatched.
[00:30:07]  And each of them, each convoy of these militiamen that tried to approach the celebrations, they were taken out by Israeli drones.
[00:30:17]  The United States and Israel have finally stepped in, providing the Iranian people with a fighting chance against this Islamist occupation of Iran that has lasted for almost five decades.
[00:30:31]  We have been fighting this regime non-stop.
[00:30:34]  Since its inception, we have been on the streets.
[00:30:38]  March 1979, women took to the streets in Iran, opposing the imposition of the Sharia law.
[00:30:44]  We have been out every year, every day, fighting this regime.
[00:30:49]  So many people have died in Iran.
[00:30:51]  We have very loved ones.
[00:30:53]  You don't have, in Iran, you don't have any weapons whatsoever.
[00:30:59]  And Americans are not going to put boots on the ground.
[00:31:02]  They're expecting the people to be the boots on the ground.
[00:31:04]  But again, you don't have any weapons.
[00:31:07]  So how does the boots on the ground actually work?
[00:31:11]  What does it look like with the Iranians just coming out of their houses?
[00:31:15]  Because I mean, it could be really bad.
[00:31:18]  The IRGC is still, you know, somewhat in control.
[00:31:23]  Let me give the answer to you in three parts.
[00:31:26]  Part when, in January, Crown Prince Jaza Paul issued a call on people and people took to the streets in millions.
[00:31:35]  They brought with themselves to the protests the actual flag of Iran with the lion and the sun.
[00:31:42]  Hundreds of flags flooded the streets of Iran.
[00:31:46]  Those flags don't grow on trees.
[00:31:48]  People have been preparing and those flags are the lowest hanging fruit on that preparation tree.
[00:31:56]  Much more has been done.
[00:31:58]  I cannot go into very much the details, but a lot of technologies have been deployed and drones and all that we are seeing.
[00:32:07]  These are just the start of it.
[00:32:10]  A lot more is ready to go.
[00:32:12]  The Iranian people are the boots on the ground.
[00:32:15]  But the next two parts of my answer one, what the United States and Israel have achieved during this military campaign.
[00:32:23]  A lot of naysayers in the West after three weeks.
[00:32:27]  We are not even at four week milestone.
[00:32:30]  The United States and Israel have dismantled the Islamic Republic leadership to great extent.
[00:32:36]  A lot of targets are still there, Ahmad Wahidi, Khali Bauf, the parliament speaker Ejei, the judiciary chief.
[00:32:44]  These are the actors that are holding the regime together.
[00:32:48]  Targeted killing of these individuals will lead to the collapse of the leadership of the Islamic Republic, which already is happening.
[00:32:57]  A lot of military bases.
[00:33:00]  The commanders have deserted their posts.
[00:33:02]  That's one side but, more importantly, the arms of oppression of the Islamic Republic has been targeted repeatedly by Israel and the United States.
[00:33:13]  So far, hundreds of Basij militiamen have been taken out in targeted drone strikes, many more have been injured and many, many more are not showing up for service.
[00:33:26]  They are scared and the regime cannot even pay them.
[00:33:30]  The situation that the regime is facing is dire and they cannot hold it together for long.
[00:33:36]  But back to your actual question.
[00:33:39]  Iranians have been preparing.
[00:33:41]  A couple of two weeks ago, I think, Crown Prince Rezafa Al Avi finally publicly announced the existence of the Immortal Guard.
[00:33:50]  Guard the job.
[00:33:51]  I don't a decentralized, self-organized group of people multiple circles across the country that have been trained and are ready to go.
[00:34:03]  Iranians are the boots on the ground when trained by who?
[00:34:09]  I cannot go into details of that too much is at stake and we are talking about a war zone.
[00:34:18]  Okay well, that is good news.
[00:34:22]  I had not heard that before.
[00:34:23]  One of the things I have heard to try to discourage those who want Iran to be free is that the people are turning on the United States and Israel because Of the bombing, that they're saying, now you're killing us.
[00:34:43]  And now they're turning on us.
[00:34:45]  Is there any truth to that?
[00:34:48]  In every society, you have outliers.
[00:34:51]  Before this whole military operation started, the Islamic Republic and a bunch of lunatic leftists organized a pro-Pally rally outside Tehran University.
[00:35:04]  They were able to get 20, 30 people outside Tehran University to chant in support of Hamas and Hezbollah and other terrorist groups.
[00:35:14]  And more importantly, we are dealing with a situation that internet has been caught.
[00:35:20]  Yes, some dissidents have received satellite internet and technological tools that is enabling them to circumvent the blockade.
[00:35:29]  But a lot of the noise that is coming out of the Islamic Republic is generated by the Islamic Republic.
[00:35:38]  Remember, a couple of months ago, there was a story all over the news about white SIM cards, SIM cards that the regime removes all online limits for and give it to influencers to push its line.
[00:35:52]  There is also another piece of evidence of them doing the same thing.
[00:35:56]  When the regime's foreign minister was on air giving an interview using internet, he was questioned, why do you have internet while the whole nation is offline?
[00:36:07]  He responded, I'm the voice of the nation.
[00:36:10]  They are providing internet to these types of influencers to push an anti-U.S., anti-Israel narrative.
[00:36:19]  But what we hear from people in Iran is that with every missile hitting this regime, people are rejoicing.
[00:36:27]  When Nowruz was happening, traditionally people visit the graves of their loved ones.
[00:36:32]  When you kill tens of thousands of protesters in cold blood, hundreds of thousands are going to visit their graves, and they did.
[00:36:42]  There is a video of a mother, a mother at the grave of his son killed, and she's shouting, addressing the United States and Israel and telling them, God bless you,
[00:36:55]  you made our hearts happy after this darkness.
[00:37:00]  This is the mood that we are seeing coming out of the country.
[00:37:05]  Is there something that the people are waiting for?
[00:37:10]  Is there a signal they're waiting for?
[00:37:12]  Is it Donald Trump just coming out and saying now?
[00:37:17]  It's multiple elements.
[00:37:19]  One, the decapitation at the top needs to continue.
[00:37:23]  Multiple individuals are still in place.
[00:37:26]  They have been engaged, apparently, or who knows what's happening in negotiations.
[00:37:33]  Those individuals are actual terrorists.
[00:37:36]  And the United States have been saying that it doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
[00:37:41]  We need to stop talking with these people and also let our allies finish the job of taking them out.
[00:37:47]  That's one element.
[00:37:48]  And two, two weeks of targeted campaign taking out the Islamic Republic's arms of oppression would turn the tide, give the Iranians an actual chance in this uphill battle.
[00:38:02]  We have been fighting this for the past five decades.
[00:38:05]  I have been involved with it for 17 years.
[00:38:08]  We are unrelenting.
[00:38:11]  This is you're saying that there's still a lot of targets left before that signal can be given.
[00:38:18]  Yes.
[00:38:18]  And that's my understanding from every military and security source that we talk with, that the military campaign is far from over.
[00:38:28]  And which war against a major terrorist sponsor like the Islamic Republic, a state that has killed so many people inside and outside the country, has occupied land beyond the borders of Iran.
[00:38:41]  Look at Lebanon.
[00:38:42]  Look at Syria.
[00:38:43]  Look at Yemen.
[00:38:44]  Look at Iraq.
[00:38:46]  How a war against such a regime can be over in three, four weeks.
[00:38:52]  The timeline is not too far from being over.
[00:38:57]  But there is much more needed to be done for the call to arrive.
[00:39:02]  And President Trump has repeatedly told the Iranian people, stay home, stay safe while the bombs are falling.
[00:39:10]  When they stop, the call will arrive from the leader of the opposition, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.
[00:39:16]  And Iranians have shown that when that man speaks, they listen.
[00:39:21]  Osra, I appreciate it.
[00:39:22]  I pray that your people will be free.
[00:39:26]  This is probably it.
[00:39:28]  I mean, if the people don't in the end rise up, if we don't weaken them enough and give you the opportunity to rise up, it may unfortunately be another half century before you have this opportunity again.
[00:39:40]  So I pray this goes well.
[00:39:42]  Osro, thank you very much.
[00:39:43]  God bless you.
[00:39:43]  God bless you.
[00:39:43]  Thank you for having me.
[00:39:44]  You bet.
[00:39:45]  You bet.

[00:39:52]  Let me tell you about Leaf Filter.
[00:39:54]  You could use a bunch of those brightly colored pool noodles just to keep the leaves and the junk out of your house's gutter.
[00:39:59]  I mean, in theory, they block, you know, all the water, but, you know, it would be, you know, engineering adjacent, I guess, from that standpoint.
[00:40:09]  It might even kind of work in a way to keep the leaves out.
[00:40:12]  At some point, you got to step back, look at your house, and ask yourself a simple question.
[00:40:16]  What are the neighbors going to say about the pool noodles in your gutters?
[00:40:19]  The gutters don't need something that, you know, kind of keeps debris out.
[00:40:22]  It needs something that consistently keeps the leaves and the pine needles and all the little stuff from building up while letting the water flow freely.
[00:40:28]  That's what Leaf Filter is designed to do.
[00:40:30]  It's a professional installed gutter protection system that uses a stainless steel micro mesh to keep all of the smallest debris out of the gutter so water can flow where it's supposed to, away from your home.

[00:41:15]  Boy, I think some big breaking news happened with our last guest talking about somebody is training the Iranian people to fight right now.
[00:41:26]  Don't know who.
[00:41:27]  He didn't say who, but somebody is preparing them.
[00:41:30]  Wonder who that might be.
[00:41:32]  Also, we're going to have a conversation coming up in a second that I think America needs to have.
[00:41:38]  Is there a difference between a Muslim and an Islamist?
[00:41:42]  Some people say no difference.
[00:41:45]  I disagree.
[00:41:47]  And I want to bring somebody on who has been trying to lead a reform movement of Islam forever, one of the bravest guys I know.
[00:41:57]  And I want him to break this down for us, see if we can get closer to a solid answer on is there a difference?
[00:42:04]  And if so, what is the difference?
[00:42:06]  We do that.
[00:42:07]  Coming up.
[00:42:12]  You know what's strange about back pain?
[00:42:14]  It usually doesn't show up with blaring sirens and crashing cymbals.
[00:42:17]  It just sort of becomes a part of your daily routine.
[00:42:20]  And before you realize, you've totally changed.
[00:42:22]  You sit a little more carefully than you used to.
[00:42:24]  You avoid certain movements.
[00:42:26]  You get up slower.
[00:42:27]  You plan your day around what your spine might decide to do.
[00:42:32]  That's not the way it's supposed to be.
[00:42:35]  Here's the reality.
[00:42:37]  The Chirp contour is designed for that exact kind of everyday wear and tear.
[00:42:42]  Long hours sitting, sleeping wrong, working too hard, sometimes not moving enough.
[00:42:48]  It uses targeted spinal decompression, deep massage and pressure, optimal heat to help you and your back actually relax and reset.
[00:42:56]  You lie down, automatically, it adjusts to your back, and it does all the work for you.
[00:43:00]  No guessing, no twisting yourself into positions that feel like a yoga class gone wrong.
[00:43:04]  This is really great.

[00:44:08]  Hello, America.
[00:44:09]  Every time we talk about what is going on with Iran or we have big guests on, it started with the Crown Prince of Iran, and we just had one of the main opposition leaders,
[00:44:25]  you know, for the people, the Persian people and the Iranian people on the ground.
[00:44:30]  We just had him on a minute ago, and he told us some interesting information that there are troops being trained, if you will, Iranians that are being trained.
[00:44:40]  He wouldn't say who is training them, but they are preparing for the go signal, and they're hoping that it'll come soon, maybe in the next couple of weeks.
[00:44:48]  But every time we talk about these, especially around the special that we did last week, we get hit on our servers.
[00:45:00]  We're under cyber attack again today.
[00:45:03]  I've done this for a very, very long time.
[00:45:05]  We have never had this kind of cyber attack on us.
[00:45:10]  I am told by experts that this is complex and state-level kind of cyber attacks.
[00:45:21]  Nobody is hacking into the system, but they are stopping anybody from accessing our system.
[00:45:27]  So if you are a member of the torch, wear this as a badge of honor.
[00:45:30]  Somebody doesn't want you to be involved and hear any of this.
[00:45:34]  But thank you so much.
[00:45:35]  And thank you to our radio facilities, all of our radio stations.
[00:45:39]  Nobody can cyber attack our radio stations, at least.
[00:45:43]  You know, not as one giant organism.
[00:45:46]  And I appreciate that.
[00:45:48]  This is why AM and talk radio is so vital to the nation to keep it going.
[00:45:56]  We're going to continue our conversation on what is happening to our country, the war that we're actually in.
[00:46:02]  And I don't mean in Iran.
[00:46:03]  I mean, I've said this for several years.
[00:46:06]  I think we are at the beginning of World War III and most people just don't know it yet.
[00:46:10]  And there's a chance to do it without guns, but we have to have honest conversations about Islamism.
[00:46:19]  Political Islam will be the poison, the cancer, the death of the West.
[00:46:25]  Europe is almost gone, but America is really close.
[00:46:29]  I want to show you some evidence of that, and then I want to bring somebody in who can help answer the question, is there a difference between Islam and Islamism?
[00:46:39]  I have friends on both sides of this aisle.
[00:46:43]  I think I know my answer, but I want to hear from one side from a dear friend of mine.
[00:46:51]  Is there a difference?
[00:46:53]  We'll go into that here in 60 seconds.
[00:46:56]  First, let me tell you about Lifelock.

[00:47:20]  It didn't exist yesterday.
[00:47:21]  Wait a minute, I didn't take out that loan.

[00:48:02]  Let me take you through just a couple of things that are happening here in America.
[00:48:07]  Cut 4.
[00:48:07]  These are Muslim protesters in Philadelphia.
[00:48:12]  They are protesting our soldiers and our stance on Israel and Palestine.
[00:48:21]  I want you to listen to this.
[00:48:22]  Cut 4, Philadelphia.
[00:48:24]  Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy.
[00:48:33]  For every U.S. military base that crumbles and for every U.S. soldier who returns home in the casket, we cheer.
[00:48:42]  Okay, stop.
[00:48:42]  Notice that's an American accent.
[00:48:44]  That's not a foreign accent.
[00:48:46]  It's an American accent.
[00:48:47]  We cheer for every soldier that comes back in a body bag.
[00:48:50]  And let's not forget the enemy.
[00:48:52]  The enemy, he says, there is the United States.
[00:48:55]  We will bring it to its knees.
[00:48:58]  Here in Philadelphia, again, this was posted by a great service out of the Middle East called Memory.
[00:49:05]  What they do is they take videotape from all over the world that is in Arabic and they translate it so people know exactly what's happening in their areas.
[00:49:14]  We thank Memory TV.
[00:49:18]  This is from Philadelphia.
[00:49:20]  These are Islamist kids.
[00:49:23]  Listen to what they are singing and a little skit that they're doing.
[00:49:29]  Go ahead and play a little bit of this.
[00:49:33]  This is not in English.
[00:49:39]  In this Philadelphia mosque, we will chop their heads off.
[00:49:44]  We will liberate the sorrowful and exalted Al-Aqsa.
[00:49:48]  That's Jerusalem.
[00:49:49]  We will subject them to torture.
[00:49:52]  Rebels, rebels, rebels.
[00:49:54]  They're talking about the great Satan and the little Satan.
[00:49:57]  That's in Philadelphia.
[00:50:00]  Here's a North Carolina scholar defending child marriage.
[00:50:03]  Listen to this.
[00:50:05]  Now, what's the age of marriage in the U.S.?
[00:50:09]  Every state has a different age.
[00:50:10]  There are some countries outside in the world.
[00:50:13]  Girls can marry at 12 years old.
[00:50:16]  Okay, what's the issue of this?
[00:50:18]  If in Africa, girls reach maturity much, much younger, even here in the U.S.
[00:50:26]  I know we have some students from our families, from our acquaintances, the girls grade five and they reach maturity, they reach puberty.
[00:50:36]  Very briefly, the worst enemies of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in his own time, did not object on this and did not say to him, oh, look, he's marrying a young lady.
[00:50:50]  And in Islam, it's understood by consensus.
[00:50:53]  You can marry a child.
[00:50:55]  So you can marry a child.
[00:50:58]  You can marry a child.
[00:50:59]  That is a scholar at North Carolina State University.
[00:51:07]  What is happening to us?
[00:51:09]  We have been invaded.
[00:51:11]  And I laid this out on my special last week.
[00:51:14]  If you have not seen it, does it come out today?
[00:51:18]  Do we have the what part do we have coming out?
[00:51:21]  We'll have it by tomorrow.
[00:51:22]  We got bonus content coming up.
[00:51:23]  We have bonus content tomorrow.
[00:51:24]  You're going to see these full interviews.
[00:51:26]  Plus, you have the entire special.
[00:51:28]  You'll have about an hour to two hours more bonus material yesterday and a booklet that will help you understand this that you'll be able to share with your friends.
[00:51:38]  You'll be able to get it if you're at glennbeck.com/slash torch.
[00:51:42]  Just join us, torch, that hopefully will all be out tomorrow so you can share this information.
[00:51:48]  But in our special, we have Dr. Zudi Jasser.
[00:51:52]  Zudi is a dear friend of mine.
[00:51:54]  I've known him for, I don't even know, 20 years, probably.
[00:51:59]  It wasn't, I think I was at CNN when I first met him.
[00:52:02]  He is a primary care physician.
[00:52:06]  He is, he used to be a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy, physician to Congress and the Supreme Court justices.
[00:52:16]  He is also the founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy and the Muslim Reform Movement.
[00:52:23]  Reason why I like him so much is this guy has paid and his family have paid such a heavy price because he's a Muslim, but he says there's a big difference between a Muslim and an Islamist.
[00:52:37]  And he is trying to reform Islam.
[00:52:40]  Imagine being that guy.
[00:52:42]  He is also now running for Congress.
[00:52:44]  I fully support him.
[00:52:47]  He is running for Arizona's fourth district.
[00:52:50]  It's a swing district.
[00:52:51]  You can find more about him at Z4AZ.
[00:52:56]  Z, the number 4AZ.com.
[00:52:59]  Zudi, thanks for coming on.
[00:53:02]  Oh, anytime, Glenn, it's great to be with you.
[00:53:04]  Thanks for talking about this.
[00:53:05]  It's the most important discussion in the 21st century.
[00:53:09]  So I'm going to push back hard on you because I really want to have an honest discussion about this.
[00:53:17]  You said in the special there is a difference, and I wasn't sure.
[00:53:21]  Honestly, at the beginning of the special, I wasn't sure that I fully agreed with that.
[00:53:26]  I thought I did, but I didn't fully agree with it.
[00:53:28]  I wasn't married to it until I heard some other things in the special, and then I think I'm there.
[00:53:33]  But I want to play pushback and devil's advocate because in the special, you said there is a difference between Muslims and an Islamist.
[00:53:42]  One is political and one is religious, I guess.
[00:53:50]  Yes, you know, and this is a construct.
[00:53:53]  You know, as you know, as somebody who believes there's some deep need for reform in Islam, and we haven't gone through the anti-theocratic movement yet, you can't admit as a Muslim that you need reform unless you realize that the general consensus,
[00:54:08]  the leadership, the establishment of the faith has a cancer in it, and that is theocracy.
[00:54:13]  So you can call it political Islam, theocratic Islam, Sharia supremacism, all those things are the same thing.
[00:54:20]  And is it the predominant Islam?
[00:54:23]  Absolutely.
[00:54:23]  There's no doubt that normative Islam, as you played an audio earlier, most of the Imams, 95% of the Imams globally are problematic.
[00:54:34]  They are evil as far as their concept of humanity, of human rights.
[00:54:39]  Their values are incompatible with America, with the West.
[00:54:42]  And no different than our founding fathers that fought against theocracy.
[00:54:47]  I, as a Muslim, have a moonshot.
[00:54:50]  I have a sense that this is where I think we can go.
[00:54:52]  I believe in liberty.
[00:54:54]  I believe in that first liberty.
[00:54:56]  But even after our founding fathers fought for a revolution, it took them 13 years until they had a legal document and that they agreed upon and recognized that first liberty as being religious liberty.
[00:55:07]  So as an American and as a Muslim, I say, you know what?
[00:55:11]  We have to recognize that there's a table.
[00:55:14]  We're not going to rename the religion.
[00:55:16]  The definitions, Islam is the faith.
[00:55:19]  Muslims are those who follow it.
[00:55:22]  The problem is the entire establishment, the leadership, the people that are making money from Islam, the Petro-Islamists of Saudi Arabia, of Iran, of Pakistan, the establishment that has dug their heels in the sand for the last thousand years.
[00:55:37]  But let's also not have an ahistorical approach to Islam like any other faith and say, listen, if the recipe was wrong, the first three, 400 years would not have been an era of enlightenment on the planet in which the Greek philosophers and so many philosophers are translated into Arabic and other languages while the West was still grappling with the Dark Ages if the recipe was wrong.
[00:56:01]  But it went from 4,000 schools of Sharia to essentially four.
[00:56:06]  And you had basically now for 1,000 years.
[00:56:09]  This is why what's happening in Iran is so amazing.
[00:56:11]  If you don't separate Islamism from Muslims and a possibility of reform, who are the people in Iran, the people on the street that reject theocracy, are they in a vacuum?
[00:56:24]  Do they not have a faith?
[00:56:26]  Are we going to disenfranchise them from their relationship with God?
[00:56:29]  And I want to end this comment with what you and I, we've become such good friends.
[00:56:33]  And I can tell you that as you met my wife, you met my kids.
[00:56:38]  You know, my kids are God-fearing, moral, sentient human beings who have a strong relationship with morality.
[00:56:45]  They aren't morally inverted like all these satanic, cultish, death cult folks of the Islamists.
[00:56:51]  They would die for their fellow Americans regardless of their faith.
[00:56:55]  They believe in God and fast and pray.
[00:56:59]  And who are they praying to?
[00:57:00]  It must be a faith that has some type of moral compass.
[00:57:05]  And if we say that's not a faith and we don't even want to call it Islam, we recognize that we're a minority report within that faith.
[00:57:12]  But we also have to, we can't leave, you know, I recognize that the seats at the table are empty, that the most majority of Muslims are silent and we have given them a pass.
[00:57:24]  No, don't give them a pass.
[00:57:26]  Put fire under their feet.
[00:57:27]  Tell them that they're like the silent Nazis in Germany, you know, silent Germans under Nazi Germany.
[00:57:32]  Yes, tell them that.
[00:57:34]  Get them awakened, but don't deprive them and disenfranchise them of their relationship with God and the faith of Islam.
[00:57:41]  You know, that was something that we did in World War II.
[00:57:44]  You know, I said I was someplace speaking, and it just kind of came out of my mouth, and I thought, well, that's going to cause some problems.
[00:57:50]  But let me repeat it now to a bigger audience.
[00:57:54]  You know, when we went into Germany, you know, we knew who the enemy was.
[00:58:01]  And we knew who the Germans were that were good, because not all Germans were Nazis.
[00:58:07]  But the ones that were good were the ones that were like, the Nazis are over there.
[00:58:11]  Get those guys.
[00:58:12]  Help us.
[00:58:13]  help us.
[00:58:13]  We knew because the good guys would self-identify and help.
[00:58:19]  The bad guys didn't.
[00:58:22]  And, you know, you get to a point to where this is going to get so bad if we can't have logical conversations, if we can't just be shouted down every time we try to have this conversation, it's going to get to the point, Zudi,
[00:58:38]  where everybody's just going to, everybody's just going to assume that.
[00:58:42]  Every Muslim is bad.
[00:58:44]  And in the special that I saw, you know, one of the things that really convinced me or helped convince me was the number of Muslims that when the Muslim Brotherhood and others were taking over and buying all of the American mosques,
[00:58:58]  most people don't even know this happened.
[00:59:00]  Buying all of these mosques and taking them over.
[00:59:04]  It was the American Muslim that were standing up, reaching out to our government and everybody else going, help, help, help, help.
[00:59:10]  We're being taken over by really bad people.
[00:59:13]  And they were, and we didn't do anything.
[00:59:15]  And now what do you do?
[00:59:17]  If you're in that community, now how do you speak out?
[00:59:22]  Exactly.
[00:59:23]  And that we have to recognize that America really has the answer and that Europe, you can almost put a fork in it because their version of democracy is a racial version in which, for example,
[00:59:35]  one of the founding scholars of the concept of Islamism that understands it was Bassam Tibi, a German scholar.
[00:59:42]  He retired in America because he said, you know, I lived in Germany for 40 years and I never felt German because they didn't have a culture of absorbing folks of all different origins,
[00:59:54]  ethnic origins that could then become American or become German.
[00:59:58]  So he retired in America.
[01:00:00]  He said Americanism as that anti-theocratic religious liberty is the only way to create a strategy against political Islam, against these viral movements.
[01:00:11]  So let's look at the threat.
[01:00:12]  1.8 billion Muslims globally.
[01:00:15]  30 to 40 percent are died in the wool Islamists, which is 500 to 600 million people.
[01:00:21]  So that's a massive movement.
[01:00:22]  So yes, people who say that Islam is a problem are right.
[01:00:26]  There's not that much daylight between them and me.
[01:00:28]  But the issue is, what is our strategy?
[01:00:31]  As a West, to save the West, we have to have a strategy of an offense.
[01:00:36]  And the head of the spear of that offense, I'm not alone.
[01:00:39]  The people of Iran are more on the offense than me because I've been protected by a country that has gone through this revolution.
[01:00:46]  And by the way, the woke, the bigotry of low expectations, all of that needs to go away because it's giving Muslims a pass in America so they do become more passive and sort of let, you know,
[01:00:59]  the Iranians fight the battle against Islamism when in fact it's coming here to our shores.
[01:01:03]  So we have to fight it here in this laboratory that we can do it better than anywhere on the planet against theocracy.
[01:01:10]  Sudi, I want to push back on something you said a minute ago.
[01:01:14]  So give me 60 seconds.
[01:01:15]  We're back with Dr. Zudi Jasser.
[01:01:18]  He is running for U.S. House.
[01:01:20]  That's not why he's on.
[01:01:22]  He's a dear friend of mine and one of the bravest people that I know.
[01:01:25]  And he is running for, what is it, the fourth district in Arizona, which is a swing district.
[01:01:33]  You can find out about him at z4az.com.
[01:01:37]  But I want to push back on something you said.
[01:01:40]  And we'll do that in 60 seconds.
[01:01:42]  First, time for you to take back your life from the pain that has been keeping you down.
[01:01:45]  And you know who you are.
[01:01:46]  You know how long this has been going on.
[01:01:48]  You've tried to work around it.
[01:01:49]  You've tried to push through it.
[01:01:50]  You ignore it when you can, manage it when you can't.
[01:01:53]  And if you're being honest, it's been calling the shots more often than you'd like.
[01:01:57]  But it doesn't have to.
[01:01:58]  Relief Factor is a daily drug-free supplement that was designed to help reduce or eliminate your pain by addressing the inflammation that is in your body, which is often the root of not only our pain, but a lot of our disease as well.

[01:02:41]  10 seconds station ID.
[01:02:54]  So, Zudi, I want to talk to you here, and we're going to have a short period of time here, and then we'll open it up after the next commercial break.
[01:03:01]  But I want to talk to you about, you know, how do you separate because politics is part, I mean, it is a system of laws, just kind of like the Mosaic laws were at the beginning with Judaism and still are in some ways,
[01:03:17]  some of those things in the Old Testament.
[01:03:19]  But more importantly, you said 90% of the mosques or the imams at the mosque, 90% of them are radicalized.
[01:03:30]  If I said that 90% of the priests in the Catholic Church were radicalized, I would have a hard time then saying, I trust Catholics.
[01:03:42]  Because, I mean, if you're going to that and you know that priest is radicalized, how do I trust that you're not either radical or slowly being radicalized yourself?
[01:03:55]  We would warn against those Catholics.
[01:03:58]  Why is this different?
[01:03:59]  Absolutely.
[01:04:01]  It's not necessarily different, and you're not wrong.
[01:04:04]  The problem is in a very Trumpian way, the problem is the establishment.
[01:04:09]  We are fighting.
[01:04:10]  We need to fight against the establishment.
[01:04:12]  Nobody who's making money from Islam should be trusted, whether it's governmental folks, Petro-Islamists, academicians, whatever it might be.
[01:04:21]  But in order to get back that control of our faith and who defines it, we need legitimacy.
[01:04:29]  We need some religious legitimacy.
[01:04:31]  And I'm not making ideas up.
[01:04:33]  There are many academicians.
[01:04:35]  Wait, I want to stop you.
[01:04:38]  I want to stop you.
[01:04:39]  I want to get into religious legitimacy because I think I understand what you're saying, but I want you to clarify that when we come back in just a second.
[01:04:48]  Unless your dog gets to sit there and look at a menu and pick out what's for dinner every night, let's be honest, it's not happening.
[01:04:55]  Everything that goes into his body is pretty much on you.
[01:04:59]  And I know you take that seriously because you want him to be happy.
[01:05:01]  You want him to be healthy and you want him or her to know what he is eating.
[01:05:07]  You want to know that it's actually doing him some good.
[01:05:09]  The problem is a lot of dog food loses much of its nutrition during the processing.
[01:05:13]  It's just like feeding your kids processed, you know, a really overly processed food that could sit on the shelf for two years and not go bad.
[01:05:22]  You would never feed that to your kids every single day, three meals a day.
[01:05:26]  That's what we do with our dogs.
[01:05:28]  We just feed them this ultra-high-processed stuff that has all of the nutrients, everything, all the live stuff that their body needs.
[01:05:36]  All of it is cooked out at very high temperatures.
[01:05:39]  This is a supplement that you sprinkle right on top of your dog's food.
[01:05:42]  It's designed to add back in all of the natural stuff, the minerals, the probiotics, antioxidants, and everything that will help your dog be healthy.

[01:06:26]  So I have been warning of this apocalyptic kind of Islamism that is cancer to the West since 1999.
[01:06:37]  I think I was the first person on radio in 99, at least, to say Osama bin Laden, what he believes.
[01:06:45]  There will be blood, body, and buildings in the streets of New York.
[01:06:48]  I was in New York on WABC saying this within the next decade, and it'll have his name on it.
[01:06:55]  And nobody believed.
[01:06:56]  Nobody wanted to believe.
[01:06:57]  Nobody wanted to pay attention to what's really going on.
[01:07:00]  And this is a really difficult question because we want to stick by our principles of freedom of religion.
[01:07:08]  Although I will stand against Satanism every day as an American citizen, I'm sorry.
[01:07:15]  No, because it's Satan.
[01:07:17]  It's a cancer.
[01:07:19]  And a lot of people will say, including me, that the way Islam is being practiced is absolutely, I mean, the Twelvers, the Shia Twelvers that are running around, that's Satanism.
[01:07:32]  I mean, it is just a death cult.
[01:07:36]  Now, I think, and this is, I want to bring Zudi Jasser back in on this.
[01:07:41]  Zudi, when you say we have to have religious legitimacy, are you saying that you're looking for or you're trying to start a kind of a Martin Luther thing?
[01:07:54]  Because he didn't give up Christianity.
[01:07:57]  He gave up the way Christianity was being interpreted by a church.
[01:08:02]  Is that what you're saying when you're talking about you have to have religious legitimacy for the Muslims that don't want to live like this?
[01:08:14]  Absolutely.
[01:08:15]  And every faith has its own historical arc of reformation and modernization and what that would include.
[01:08:22]  As you mentioned, Catholicism, the first hundreds of years of Catholicism, the church prevented the laity from even reading the scripture in Latin.
[01:08:30]  And ultimately, that was reformed and moved forward towards modernity until America was formed.
[01:08:36]  So as a Muslim, that spiritual legitimacy, I as a spiritual human being, you know, it's interesting, the Islamists will publish things about me nationally and globally, but locally here in Arizona,
[01:08:47]  they have a tough time doing it because I'm known in the community not only as a primary care doc, but as a medical ethicist who teaches an ethics program in the largest teaching institution here in Phoenix and have established credibility as a moral,
[01:09:03]  ethical human being.
[01:09:04]  And many people see that, know me as a man of faith, and that provides religious legitimacy.
[01:09:10]  And then I say, you know what?
[01:09:11]  On top of that, I don't deny the fact that we also have to debate the ideas.
[01:09:17]  I don't get my ideas from my own vacuum.
[01:09:20]  I've read scholars like Abdulay Naim, Abdul Karim Sarous, a Persian scholar that talks about liberty in Islam, Ashmawi from Egypt, Fatima Marnisi from Morocco who talks about Islam and democracy.
[01:09:32]  I formed coalitions.
[01:09:33]  I'm not alone.
[01:09:34]  We've not only formed the Muslim Reform Movement, and you know, Ezra Nomani, Rahil Raza, you've interviewed many times, and then our coalition of people like Yasmin Muhammad and others.
[01:09:44]  So it's not a movement by myself.
[01:09:48]  It's a larger movement.
[01:09:50]  But I also reject terms like Islamophobia.
[01:09:53]  We want people to recognize that Islam doesn't have rights.
[01:09:56]  It's an idea.
[01:09:57]  Muslims do.
[01:09:59]  But Islam, they use the term Islamophobia because they want to shut down free speech.
[01:10:04]  They want to shut down criticism and call that blasphemy and ultimately prevent us Muslims from owning our own faith and having legitimacy.
[01:10:13]  I used to debate Imams all across the country, and then they realized they were losing miserably when they had a layperson who's not an imam but yet understands the faith and the Quran and the scripture, debate them.
[01:10:26]  They tried to demonize me and target me and actually use passages that recognized assassination and other things.
[01:10:34]  And we just hunkered down and continued to debate them.
[01:10:37]  And now they realize they're trying to stay away from me rather than deal with me.
[01:10:41]  So, so, Zudi, is this kind of like, you know, I was a cafeteria Catholic.
[01:10:49]  I would pick and choose.
[01:10:51]  Can you actually hold to the Quran?
[01:10:56]  Because there's a lot of stuff in it.
[01:10:57]  Like, you know, there's a lot of stuff in the Old Testament that, you know, you don't hold to anymore.
[01:11:03]  But can you hold to the Quran and be, you know, not crazy?
[01:11:11]  You know, not violent?
[01:11:13]  Because there's a lot of stuff in the Quran that there's been no reformation.
[01:11:16]  That's what you're trying to bring about.
[01:11:18]  There's been no reformation.
[01:11:19]  So it's all kind of enforced, as you say, by like 90% of the Imams.
[01:11:26]  That's the most important question: do the Zudhi Jassirs of the world sort of make up their fantasy faith?
[01:11:33]  Or is it rooted in a new interpretation of the same scripture?
[01:11:36]  We as Muslims only call Quran what's in Arabic, not the English translation everybody's reading on the internet.
[01:11:43]  99% of those translations are Saudi Wahhabi radical or Khomeinist Iranian type theocratic radical.
[01:11:52]  My father translated the Quran.
[01:11:55]  You can find it on Amazon.
[01:11:56]  It's a modern translation that really helped me be the non-radicalized pro-American Muslim that would only die for America and never die for jihad.
[01:12:05]  There are passages in there.
[01:12:07]  You can separate what's in the Quran from what's historical versus what's for all times.
[01:12:12]  The prophet wore three hats.
[01:12:14]  One is as messenger, one is as the head of a military, and the other as a head of state.
[01:12:18]  We have to say that time in which the leader of a faith, like Abraham or Moses, was the head of a military or state, is done.
[01:12:26]  We no longer need a religious state.
[01:12:28]  We need to have, just like we have modernization in medical and computer science, we need to recognize modernization in political science, which the best system in the planet is the American system.
[01:12:40]  And if God wanted to tell us how to run government, he would have said so in the Quran.
[01:12:46]  And there's nothing in the Quran about that.
[01:12:48]  Yes, there's a lot of laws, but to me, as a Muslim, when we raised our kids, all the laws in there are between God and a human being.
[01:12:55]  So I need to live in a laboratory where I can decide not to drink because God tells me not to drink.
[01:13:00]  He needs to know that I made that decision volitionally, sentiently as a human being, not because I was forced by the theocrats or coerced.
[01:13:09]  So you can recognize that those laws apply to me personally.
[01:13:14]  And, you know, all the child marriage stuff, et cetera, that I don't believe is in the Quran.
[01:13:18]  It's not recognized specifically.
[01:13:20]  It's all from Hadith, most of that, which is sayings of the Prophet, that 90% of which is garbage.
[01:13:26]  We need to say was made up and not part of Islam.
[01:13:30]  But the Quran, it's hard to say anyone's a Muslim unless they recognize the Arabic of the Quran.
[01:13:36]  But the interpretation, the translation is human.
[01:13:39]  It's not from God.
[01:13:40]  And that's what we need to debate.
[01:13:41]  So when you say you don't believe it's in the Quran, you know the Quran.
[01:13:47]  It is either there or it's not.
[01:13:49]  What do you mean by I don't believe it's there?
[01:13:52]  Well, for example, the passage that says, you know, do not take Jews and Christians as friends.
[01:13:59]  The word friends that's there is not friends.
[01:14:02]  There's also passages that allow Muslims to intermarry between Christianity and with Muslims and Christians and Jews.
[01:14:08]  So if intermarriage is allowed, which is the holiest institution in our faith, how could it also say don't take them as friends?
[01:14:15]  Well, the Saudi Wahhabis intentionally put friends there in order to demonize and perpetuate anti-Semitic tropes.
[01:14:25]  So that is not friends.
[01:14:27]  It's auliyat, which has to do with legal scholars.
[01:14:29]  So just as in Catholicism, it talks about godparents.
[01:14:32]  You would not want a non-Catholic to be the godparent to your child.
[01:14:37]  Similarly, in Islam, there are passages that refer to specific familial legal things that relate to Islamic family laws, but rather not related to demonizing or saying that we have the only pathway to heaven.
[01:14:50]  No, there are many passages that do not say that they actually enforce the fact that Christians and Jews also will go to heaven, and it's not simply exclusive for Muslims.
[01:15:02]  Sudi, how does the average person know?
[01:15:06]  I mean, we are seeing really dangerous stuff in our streets.
[01:15:11]  We are seeing, you know, we're seeing our towns, Dearborn, Michigan.
[01:15:18]  It's like going to the Middle East.
[01:15:20]  I mean, that's not good.
[01:15:21]  That's not good.
[01:15:24]  How do you know, especially in a religion where they say they are permitted to lie, as long as they're lying for Islam?
[01:15:33]  How do you know what's true and what's not?
[01:15:37]  How do you trust?
[01:15:38]  I think as in any relationship, many people, I'm sure every one of your listeners not only has friends and relationships that they have personally in their communities, their neighborhoods, their doctors.
[01:15:51]  I was very close to Charlie Kirk, God bless him, and have known the family for a long time.
[01:15:58]  And Charlie, before he passed, was in Europe speaking actually quite a bit about the threat of Islam and what it was bringing to the West and the challenge it was for Westernism and Americanism.
[01:16:10]  And yet he, you know, as much as he and I might have disagreed about some of the Islamic interpretations, he recognized that he trusted me with his life.
[01:16:20]  And similarly, I think many people out there should look at Muslims that they know and start to ask them, challenge them, treat them with equality and respect to say, you know what,
[01:16:30]  I respect you to the point that I'm not just going to do interfaith based on kumbaya and what we share, but what are the differences?
[01:16:37]  What happens if you became a majority here?
[01:16:39]  That's how you test if a Muslim is here to conquest because, and also their character, their integrity.
[01:16:47]  They will, you know, these people that lie to seek evangelical Islam infiltration and conquest to the West, as you so rightly said, you know,
[01:16:58]  they're going to manipulate that in any opportunity they have.
[01:17:03]  So you can tell when people are lying, just like politicians, you can tell when they're speaking up and making things up.
[01:17:10]  And I've been consistent on this for 20, 30 years, my entire life.
[01:17:15]  Remember, in 2008, you said I was the radical, right?
[01:17:18]  And you're still right.
[01:17:20]  You're still right.
[01:17:22]  The mainstream Islam are the conquest folks that are coming here to destroy the West.
[01:17:27]  They see the world divided into the world of Islam where Muslims are a majority and the world of war, the land of war.
[01:17:34]  We are in the land of war here where Muslims are a minority.
[01:17:37]  We need an offense.
[01:17:39]  All I'm telling your listeners is that that offense strategically needs to empower to use Muslims that are on our side on Americanism as the head of that spear because then we will have a seat at that table,
[01:17:53]  just like now the IRGC is being destroyed.
[01:17:56]  When our military operations stop, a peaceful Middle East means the rising up of a post-monarchy, post-theocracy Iran, which will be hopefully begin to share our values.
[01:18:08]  And that's the best anti-nuclear program.
[01:18:11]  That's the best end of forever wars that we could ever have is allowing that nascent, organic, anti-theocratic movement to rise up and then allow them to start and just start debating them.
[01:18:24]  Because there's a lot of scholars that I've studied and we need to talk about is don't give us a pass.
[01:18:29]  I can talk about what are the roots, the academic foundational roots of the Islam that I believe in that is compatible and we have argued and done apologetics for in the 21st century to begin to broaden that foundation of what is Islam and what is not.
[01:18:48]  Zudi, you rightly reminded me of what I said about you, that you are the radical in Islam.
[01:18:55]  This is radicalized Islam, what Zudi is talking about.
[01:18:59]  And, you know, I not only would have your back because I've known you for so long and I've watched you for so long, but I know you'd have my back and I would gladly fight battles with you side by side.
[01:19:14]  The one thing that I would like you just to share, the threats that you get, this is how I know Zudi is on the right side, the threats that you and your family have gone through.
[01:19:27]  Because, you know, when you say things like, hey, 90% of the Imams are radical, they don't like that.
[01:19:34]  What does this cost you?
[01:19:37]  Well, the cost, I have to tell you, pales in comparison to the comfort of freedom that my family lives in here.
[01:19:44]  My parents escaped Assad's Syria, and my family that's still remaining there was dodging chemical weapons on one side with ISIS on the other.
[01:19:54]  And, you know, I'm living in the comfort of a home in Arizona.
[01:19:58]  And yes, there are Imams here that spoke out and said we have enemies within that pretend to be Muslim and basically declared me an apostate and cited Quranic scripture in which it says, you know, the enemies of Islam need to be killed.
[01:20:12]  You know, that's their interpretation of that.
[01:20:14]  There have been websites in Syria during the revolution that had web pages that talk about my family as the Zionists, you know, part of the Zionist conspiracy.
[01:20:23]  And my kids, when they were younger, had to have joint counterterrorism force people making sure that they were safe in their schools here because we didn't know where the threats were coming from.
[01:20:34]  And then there's the social ostracization.
[01:20:36]  In my book, A Battle for the Soul of Islam, one of the chapters I talk about is tribalism.
[01:20:40]  You know, you can't reform a faith that is based in collectivism and tribalism and shuns people who fight the norm, who critically think, who challenge authority and speak truth to power.
[01:20:54]  You know, that's the tribalism, the pathology that happens.
[01:20:58]  And my wife has suffered from that as she gets pushed away.
[01:21:02]  It was amazing.
[01:21:03]  I was leading the national conversation for two decades about the evil of the Assad regime.
[01:21:09]  And finally, the revolution comes to an end.
[01:21:12]  Thanks.
[01:21:12]  And I say thanks to Israel because Israel did the final acts that caused the end of the Assad regime.
[01:21:20]  And they celebrated the end of the Assad regime locally.
[01:21:24]  And the Syrian community that used to thank me for my courage for speaking out against Assad said that, well, your family can come, but Zudi can't come.
[01:21:32]  And my wife's like, what?
[01:21:33]  That makes no sense.
[01:21:34]  So this is the type of ostracization and tribalism that happens and doesn't recognize the truth of what we're fighting and what their allies within the community and within this country and Israel and all of those who believe in freedom have been fighting for for so long.
[01:21:53]  Zudi, thank you so much.
[01:21:54]  I'm out of time up against a network break, but thank you for joining me.
[01:21:58]  Thank you for the fight that we've been in together for a very long time.
[01:22:02]  Thank you for your courage.
[01:22:03]  If you want to find out more about him, you can go to Z4AZZ, the number 4AZ.com.
[01:22:11]  Zudi Jasser, Doctor.
[01:22:13]  Thank you.
[01:22:14]  All right, let me tell you about American financing.
[01:22:16]  If you're worried about those upcoming credit card bills, you're not alone.
[01:22:20]  It's one of the things that might keep you up at night knowing that mostly what you're paying for goes right straight to interest because that's the part that really gets people.
[01:22:27]  You're making the payments.
[01:22:28]  You're doing what you're supposed to do and still the balance doesn't move.
[01:22:31]  And that's not a small thing because when the debt starts to hang over your head like that, it just doesn't live on a statement.
[01:22:36]  It follows you in your decisions and everything.
[01:22:38]  So please go to AmericanFinancing.net, AmericanFinancing.net, call 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.
[01:22:49]  Glenn Beck.
[01:23:12]  You know, that is probably the most adult conversation on Islam versus Islamism I have heard on a national broadcast in this country for a long time.
[01:23:22]  And what makes it so is I'm not here to follow up with, and so there's the answer.
[01:23:28]  The answer has to come from you.
[01:23:30]  Hopefully that's the beginning of your search for the truth on what you believe.
[01:23:35]  And I'm not asking you to believe what I believe.
[01:23:37]  Find the truth yourself.
[01:24:23]  The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
[01:24:30]  This is the Glenn Beck program.
[01:24:33]  Glenn Beck is on.
[01:24:36]  You know, as you look at everything that we are fighting today, there's a lot of isms that we are fighting.
[01:24:42]  We're fighting progressivism.
[01:24:45]  Why is progressivism?
[01:24:47]  What's the difference between communism and progressivism?
[01:24:49]  Speed.
[01:24:50]  That's it.
[01:24:52]  It is just a step between or a step to get you there.
[01:24:56]  Progressivism just doesn't want the violent revolution, but it wants, this is early 20th century American progressivism.
[01:25:03]  This is why they started it.
[01:25:04]  They didn't want the revolution, but they liked the whole communist idea.
[01:25:08]  We're fighting that.
[01:25:09]  We're fighting actual communism.
[01:25:11]  We're fighting actual Marxism.
[01:25:12]  We're fighting fascism, Islamism.
[01:25:16]  We're fighting all of these things right now.
[01:25:19]  And it doesn't seem like we're making any real progress because on all of those fronts, we fight it back, we push it back, but it seems to also just continue to get stronger and stronger.
[01:25:32]  Why is that?
[01:25:34]  How do we fight that?
[01:25:35]  Why?
[01:25:37]  Where's the battlefield?
[01:25:41]  I'll explain in 60 seconds.
[01:25:43]  Real estate agents I trust, some things you just can't put a price on in quality and dependability and a hardworking attitude by people who, you know, show up every day, you know, and they don't just show up for the flashy stuff in real estate,
[01:25:58]  the flashy listings.
[01:26:00]  They make all the difference they can in every listing.
[01:26:03]  You know, when it actually counts, when it comes to buy or sell a home, those are exactly the things you want in the person that represents you because this isn't about transactions.
[01:26:12]  This is about how well somebody handles all of the details, the negotiations, and the moments where things don't go according to plan.
[01:26:19]  This is why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust.
[01:26:21]  It's not a random network or a list of names.
[01:26:24]  These are agents who have been vetted for exactly those qualities.
[01:26:27]  You know, people who show up, do the work, know how to deliver results when it matters most.
[01:26:32]  You know, when you get a referral from an agency, you know, something like us, but unlike us, they'll give these, they'll give names to these real estate agents, but they don't know them personally and they don't have a relationship with them.
[01:26:45]  And they also don't do what we say.
[01:26:47]  You can't just pick and choose.
[01:26:48]  You can't just say, oh, well, that one is a huge house and that's going to make me a lot of money.
[01:26:52]  I got to take that one.
[01:26:53]  Uh-uh.
[01:26:54]  You can have that one, but you also have to help this one over here.
[01:26:58]  You have to take that one over there.
[01:27:00]  So it is, it's people who are in it because they serve people and they can get the job done no matter the listing.
[01:27:09]  They treat everybody the same.
[01:27:10]  They're fans of the show.
[01:27:11]  They're really good, solid people.
[01:27:14]  It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
[01:27:17]  Realestateagentsitrust.com.
[01:27:19]  Go there now.
[01:27:22]  So let me take you back.
[01:27:23]  In the final days before World War II began, Britain did something that most governments never ever do.
[01:27:31]  They planned for fear.
[01:27:34]  They had just lived through World War I.
[01:27:35]  They knew what they were headed into.
[01:27:37]  They planned for bombs and guns, but they also knew they had to have a plan for what happens to a population when the ground beneath them is no longer stable,
[01:27:49]  when rumor outruns truth and anxiety is just spreading like a wildfire.
[01:27:56]  The British Ministry of Information prepared for a different kind of war and they produced different kinds of weapons.
[01:28:05]  What they did is they prepared messages, in particular, three messages.
[01:28:14]  Each one was designed for a different psychological moment in the war that they believed were going to come to London and to the streets.
[01:28:23]  And so the first message was put on a poster and it was pretty severe.
[01:28:29]  Freedom is in peril.
[01:28:31]  Defend it with all your might.
[01:28:33]  That's what it said.
[01:28:34]  Freedom is in peril.
[01:28:36]  Defend it with all your might.
[01:28:38]  That's not a comfortable thing.
[01:28:40]  That is a joke.
[01:28:41]  Wake up.
[01:28:42]  It was designed to wake people up.
[01:28:44]  Take a population that might still be thinking in peacetime terms and force them to understand this is an existential fight.
[01:28:53]  This is not about politics.
[01:28:55]  This is about your very survival.
[01:28:57]  Wake them up.
[01:28:59]  And it aimed to create real clarity and urgency and cut through the denial that a lot of citizens were living in.
[01:29:10]  They needed to feel the weight of the responsibility at a time where war perhaps was distant and not real.
[01:29:19]  The second poster was for the next phase of the war when the war became more obvious.
[01:29:25]  The second poster out of the three softened the tone, but really sharpened things.
[01:29:31]  That poster read, your courage, your cheerfulness, your resolution will bring us victory.
[01:29:40]  That poster was released once the war had begun.
[01:29:43]  The war now, people were awake.
[01:29:45]  It had become real.
[01:29:47]  Fathers and sons were dying on distant battlefields.
[01:29:50]  The storm clouds were visible, growing darker every day.
[01:29:54]  And now the question was not do we act or not, how do we endure?
[01:30:00]  And families were stressed out.
[01:30:03]  You know, the story of what happened with the children over in England during the war is just amazing.
[01:30:08]  The children didn't understand what was happening.
[01:30:10]  The parents were struggling with the basics.
[01:30:13]  The British pound was not buying, you know, what it could.
[01:30:16]  Everything cost more and more and the pound, you know, was worth less and less.
[01:30:21]  And the message was shaped to, meant to shape the behavior under that kind of pressure.
[01:30:29]  And it promoted something more difficult.
[01:30:32]  Courage under fire.
[01:30:34]  Hey, be happy.
[01:30:36]  Cheerfulness is in, it can be found in scarcity.
[01:30:40]  And there will be a resolution over time.
[01:30:43]  And it told people the emotional discipline is part of the war effort.
[01:30:47]  We're counting on you.
[01:30:49]  I mean, the message is so British and also from such a different era, it's kind of hard to relate to.
[01:30:56]  You know, hey, cheerfulness is really?
[01:30:59]  But it worked.
[01:31:00]  The posters were up everywhere.
[01:31:04]  Now, most people don't remember the posters.
[01:31:07]  And certainly no one, even in England, remember the third poster being posted from the war.
[01:31:13]  It was printed in the millions and it was kept in boxes.
[01:31:18]  Same look, same kind of message.
[01:31:20]  But this one, this one they hoped they never had to use.
[01:31:25]  It was held back for a very specific moment.
[01:31:28]  Catastrophic failure.
[01:31:30]  You know, a time when Germany would use overwhelming force.
[01:31:34]  They would be landing on the shores.
[01:31:36]  They'd be destroying the streets of London, maybe killing the king, followed by, God forbid, German occupation.
[01:31:43]  That's what that poster was for.
[01:31:45]  It was for a people that, you know, their confidence was shattered.
[01:31:50]  They stopped trusting that there would be a brighter tomorrow and everything about their society would begin to fray.
[01:31:56]  Then and only then, the final message, that third poster was supposed to be released and put up everywhere.
[01:32:04]  It wasn't meant to rally.
[01:32:06]  It was meant to hold the line inside the human mind.
[01:32:10]  So they print it.
[01:32:12]  They have it ready.
[01:32:13]  And then comes the blitz.
[01:32:15]  Night after night, London burns.
[01:32:17]  People are sleeping in tunnels.
[01:32:19]  Fires lit the sky.
[01:32:21]  Entire neighborhoods disappeared.
[01:32:23]  And the children of London were set out on trains to the rural areas of Great Britain to people they didn't know.
[01:32:31]  The families didn't know.
[01:32:33]  They just put the kids on the train and then they'd pull up to a station out, you know, someplace in Great Britain and they'd say, hey, who will take these kids?
[01:32:41]  So moms and moms could stay in the city and work and fathers would go overseas to fight and the kids would be safe.
[01:32:51]  At that time, there was even talk about sending the royal family off the island, perhaps to America, just to preserve the crown to fight for another day because they thought the Germans were coming.
[01:33:02]  The moment the government had planned for looked like it had arrived.
[01:33:07]  But something unexpected happened.
[01:33:10]  The people were already doing what that final poster was meant to instruct.
[01:33:16]  They were already steady.
[01:33:17]  They had already adapted.
[01:33:18]  They had already endured without being told.
[01:33:21]  And officials said, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[01:33:23]  If we put this message out, we put these posters up, it might feel like we're patronizing.
[01:33:27]  You know, it might sound like the government is lecturing people who have already carried a heavy enough load.
[01:33:32]  They don't need our help.
[01:33:34]  So the order came quietly down.
[01:33:37]  Do not distribute this poster.
[01:33:39]  Destroy these posters.
[01:33:40]  Most of them were all destroyed.
[01:33:41]  They were burned.
[01:33:42]  They were discarded or forgotten.
[01:33:45]  The message meant for the darkest hour never saw the light until decades later.
[01:33:54]  There was a small bookstore, Barter Books.
[01:33:57]  It had just bought a whole bunch of old books at some auction.
[01:34:02]  And in this box of books, tucked away was a copy, one copy of that poster nobody had ever seen before.
[01:34:09]  It was an original.
[01:34:10]  It was a survivor, a rare survivor.
[01:34:13]  The store didn't really know the story.
[01:34:15]  They just thought the design was beautiful and the words were so simple it kind of stuck with you.
[01:34:19]  So they framed it and they put it up on a wall.
[01:34:21]  And customers stopped and they looked and they asked.
[01:34:25]  And a message designed for national collapse began spreading in a time that didn't look anything like war.
[01:34:34]  I thought about this poster yesterday.
[01:34:36]  I was sharing with you a list of things you could do in your own life to grow the muscle called courage in small ways so it would be in shape when you need it.
[01:34:45]  And this poster came to mind.
[01:34:49]  Because we're not living in a time where we have falling bombs, on us at least.
[01:34:56]  But the worst case scenario that the British were worried about back in the day is happening today with us just in a different way.
[01:35:04]  Their worst case was occupation.
[01:35:08]  Enemy occupation.
[01:35:11]  A breakdown of society, of courage, most importantly, loss of hope.
[01:35:18]  I contend that's what we're living through right now.
[01:35:21]  And not occupation from one enemy, but dozens.
[01:35:26]  They're not marching in uniform.
[01:35:27]  They're entering through screens, through noise, through constant pressure.
[01:35:32]  Even the enemy that whispers doubt and fear in your mind while you're laying in bed at night trying to get to sleep.
[01:35:39]  It is occupying you.
[01:35:42]  The reason why we're having a hard time fighting this war is because you can't see it.
[01:35:46]  There's no battlefield.
[01:35:47]  It's in your head.
[01:35:48]  There's no single front line.
[01:35:50]  There's no air raid sirens.
[01:35:52]  There's no bombs going off.
[01:35:55]  This is why it's so hard to fight this one.
[01:35:57]  When you're physically under attack, your friends are dying.
[01:36:00]  The streets are on fire.
[01:36:02]  Buildings are being destroyed every day, day after day.
[01:36:05]  Everyone knows it.
[01:36:08]  And just like September 11th, it bonds people.
[01:36:11]  It knits them together in a shared struggle.
[01:36:15]  We don't even agree on the struggle.
[01:36:18]  We're fighting a war that is easily deniable.
[01:36:21]  A war where no leader has even clearly identified what we fight and who we fight.
[01:36:27]  Our families are being destroyed from outside and inside as we fight our own loved ones for some strange reason.
[01:36:39]  There are no bombs, but make no mistake, every day we are fighting.
[01:36:43]  Information that is overwhelming, lies and technology that's so well crafted now, you can literally no longer believe what you see or hear.
[01:36:54]  Narratives that divide.
[01:36:57]  Economic pressure that's just grinding you every day.
[01:37:01]  A generation growing up without any kind of clear foundation.
[01:37:06]  A culture that has defined and redefined and then defined and redefined reality over and over again until you don't even know what to trust.
[01:37:14]  You don't even know it's true or real.
[01:37:20]  And perhaps the worst of all, more and more of us surrender to the enemy of despair and apathy.
[01:37:30]  I make the case we are living in occupied territory right now.
[01:37:34]  But instead of land, it's a tension, of thought, of inner life.
[01:37:40]  The battlefield isn't out there.
[01:37:43]  It's in each person, every day, deciding what do I believe, what do I fear, what do I focus on, what do I ignore?
[01:37:50]  It is literally the battlefield of our minds.
[01:37:54]  And that is the hardest kind of war to fight.
[01:37:58]  Because bombs unite people.
[01:38:01]  Confusion isolates them.
[01:38:08]  And that's why I thought of that poster yesterday.
[01:38:11]  I think that's why that final message matters more now than it did then.
[01:38:15]  It wasn't written for comfort.
[01:38:17]  It was written for discipline, to remind people.
[01:38:20]  You don't have to solve everything.
[01:38:22]  You don't have to absorb everything.
[01:38:24]  You don't have to react to everything.
[01:38:26]  But you have to remain steady.
[01:38:28]  You have to remain engaged in everyday life.
[01:38:31]  Don't give into despair or anger.
[01:38:33]  Just live your life quietly.
[01:38:35]  And that's not surrender.
[01:38:36]  That's control.
[01:38:38]  Remember, you choose every day.
[01:38:40]  You choose deliberately.
[01:38:42]  Show up for your responsibilities.
[01:38:44]  Protect what's yours to protect.
[01:38:46]  Speak the truth.
[01:38:48]  Refuse to let chaos dictate your state of mind.
[01:38:55]  The bombs that were sent to destroy everything they knew and loved were real, obvious, and uniting.
[01:39:01]  And the British lived it, which is why that message was never needed.
[01:39:05]  No one needed to tell them.
[01:39:12]  That box of books where that third never-seen poster was tucked into, was sold, and coincidentally opened just a few months before 9-11, 2001.
[01:39:27]  When the owners found it, as I said, they had it framed and they hung it on the wall of that bookstore.
[01:39:32]  And it didn't take long before people started asking if they could buy a copy of it.
[01:39:37]  And the owners made a few prints here and there, but then they finally started to print copies of it en masse.
[01:39:45]  Right around the time of the financial crash of 2008.
[01:39:49]  That is when everybody saw it.
[01:39:51]  They couldn't print enough copies to keep up with the demand.
[01:39:54]  It swept the world overnight.
[01:39:56]  Today, that's hun.
[01:39:59]  I mean, you can find it on everything.
[01:40:01]  It blankets the whole world.
[01:40:03]  T-shirts, coffee mugs, aprons, refrigerator magnets.
[01:40:06]  Anything you can print it on, it was printed on.
[01:40:09]  And most people don't even know the story.
[01:40:12]  Most think now, I'm sure, oh, it's a cool image, you know, catchy slogan, some slick urban outfitters product department dreamed it up to make a buck.
[01:40:23]  But the reason that connects with people is because it feels like and is the opposite of that.
[01:40:32]  It's authentic.
[01:40:33]  It's real.
[01:40:34]  It's true.
[01:40:37]  But even those who do know that it's authentic probably think it's famous and been around forever, but it hasn't.
[01:40:48]  Personally, I'd like to think it was preserved by chance and hidden away amongst the dusty books in some attic or basement, simply waiting for our time, this time, to let us know clearly and simply,
[01:41:04]  it's all going to work out.
[01:41:06]  We're going to make it.
[01:41:09]  Stop overthinking everything.
[01:41:10]  Stop frantically and fearfully trying to fix the whole world.
[01:41:15]  All you really have to do is so simple.
[01:41:20]  Like the poster said, that third poster.
[01:41:24]  Keep calm and carry on.
[01:41:31]  You and I have something very basic but important in common.
[01:41:34]  We are here today because our moms chose life.
[01:41:37]  And that simple decision is the reason you're hearing my voice right now.
[01:41:40]  It's a gift that we don't really stop to think about in the middle of our daily lives, but it is something every person deserves a chance to experience.
[01:41:47]  And yet every day that chance is taken away for so many by abortion.
[01:41:51]  That's why pre-born exists.
[01:41:53]  They provide free ultrasounds to expectant moms who are considering an abortion because when a mom hears that heartbeat and sees her baby for the first time, it changes everything.
[01:42:01]  She usually chooses life.
[01:42:04]  This isn't about arguments or talking points.
[01:42:06]  It's about giving somebody the opportunity to see, hear, and choose themselves because life is a gift.
[01:42:11]  And Pre-Born is working every day to make sure more people get to receive it.
[01:42:15]  $28 will provide one ultrasound.
[01:42:17]  $140 will help five moms and every dollar helps save babies and share hope.
[01:42:22]  So donate.
[01:42:22]  Dial pound250.
[01:42:23]  Say the keyword baby.
[01:42:24]  That's pound250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com/slash beck.
[01:42:28]  That's pre-born.com/slash beck, sponsored by pre-born.
[01:42:32]  10 seconds station ID.
[01:42:45]  Oh, I love that story.
[01:42:48]  I just love that story.
[01:42:49]  I love that poster.
[01:42:51]  I had no idea for the longest time.
[01:42:53]  I had no idea that it was, in a way, that new.
[01:42:56]  Did you know that?
[01:42:57]  I didn't.
[01:42:58]  There was a lot of insiders who were guessing.
[01:43:01]  They liked the Paul Harvey style of you waiting until the very end to make the reveal, but there were some that were clued in a little early.
[01:43:08]  I have to ask.
[01:43:09]  I have to tell you.
[01:43:09]  I wrote that last night.
[01:43:10]  It took me about two hours to write that last night.
[01:43:12]  And I wrote that.
[01:43:13]  And I actually, as a joke, the monologue is actually called what I wanted to put as the last line.
[01:43:21]  And it just reminds you what you do.
[01:43:23]  Hang in there, kitty.
[01:43:25]  But I have to ask.
[01:43:26]  It wasn't that poster.
[01:43:28]  Did you write that monologue more for you or for us?
[01:43:34]  Probably me.
[01:43:36]  Why?
[01:43:38]  Because I know that the events of the world really, you internalize a lot of the bad news that's going on in the world.
[01:43:47]  And it does make it hard to do the show every day and try to lift the spirits of the audience and encourage them to keep calm and carry on.
[01:43:56]  And one of the ways you do that is by living that yourself.
[01:44:00]  Yeah, I didn't write it like that with that in thought.
[01:44:02]  In mind, I wrote it because I just love, I love history and I love good stories.
[01:44:08]  It was a great story.
[01:44:09]  I love that story.
[01:44:10]  More of that, please.
[01:44:11]  Yeah.
[01:44:12]  So kind of makes me wish I had a copy of that poster here.
[01:44:18]  We should have that poster someplace in our studios.
[01:44:20]  I thought, AGE, why hasn't AGE bought that yet?
[01:44:23]  You know, I think I'm bidding on one of the original posters in the next couple of weeks.
[01:44:30]  One's coming up for auction someplace in the world.
[01:44:32]  Does Tanya know this?
[01:44:35]  She does not.
[01:44:37]  She does not.
[01:44:38]  Well, she does now because she listens.
[01:44:40]  Hey, sweetheart.
[01:44:41]  Guess what?
[01:44:41]  We're donating to the museum.
[01:44:45]  Keep calm and carry on, sweetie.
[01:44:49]  All right.
[01:44:50]  More on the news of the day.
[01:44:52]  What is really important?
[01:44:54]  And some of the stories are really big and some good news stories yesterday, but it takes such swings right now.
[01:45:01]  We are a society that is schizophrenic at that next.
[01:45:16]  You know, one of the things I like most and respect most about Patriot Mobile is that they don't hide who they are.
[01:45:21]  They'll tell you right up front, you know, what they stand for, who they support.
[01:45:26]  They let you decide, you know, if that's something you want to be a part of.
[01:45:30]  Patriot Mobile.
[01:45:32]  Okay, they're patriots.
[01:45:33]  But what does that mean?
[01:45:34]  Here's who they really are.
[01:45:35]  They're the world's only Christian conservative mobile phone company.
[01:45:39]  That's it.
[01:45:41]  You know, you pay your bill and then, you know, ATT or Verizon or whatever, they take your money and they take the profit and they give it to shareholders, et cetera, et cetera.
[01:45:51]  But they also take a portion of those profits and they give them to causes that they believe in.
[01:45:56]  And they are funding things.
[01:45:57]  Verizon has funded Planned Parenthood and everything else.
[01:46:01]  I don't want my money going there.
[01:46:04]  I just, can I just have a cell phone service that just gives me the coverage that I want and doesn't get politics into it?
[01:46:10]  And if it does get politics into it, can it be the stuff that I support, you know, like the Constitution?
[01:46:15]  Yes.
[01:46:15]  Patriot Mobile.
[01:46:17]  PatriotMobile.com/slash Beck 972 Patriot.
[01:46:20]  Use the promo code Beck.
[01:46:21]  You get a free month of service.
[01:46:22]  You go save money, get great, same great service, plus, plus, plus.
[01:46:26]  It's 972 Patriot, promo code Beck.
[01:46:29]  Is there a difference between a Muslim and an Islamist?
[01:46:33]  Take our poll now and join our amazing community of insiders at glennbeck.com slash torch.
[01:46:54]  I'm going to give you some stories and then where they're all leading.
[01:46:59]  These are all stories found in today's newsletter that I think are important.
[01:47:04]  First of all, big gains for good guys.
[01:47:06]  I think it's Denmark, the elections, gone well.
[01:47:10]  Somebody who's like this, I think it's third term and he's saying, hey, this Islamic thing is not working out well for us.
[01:47:17]  Not so good for a Maloney in the elections.
[01:47:20]  But in Germany, the AFD party gained significant traction among young voters, particularly those who are 18 to 24-year-olds.
[01:47:28]  These are all of these.
[01:47:30]  In fact, Denmark, I think, was up three times the vote that they had the time before.
[01:47:38]  I mean, they've gained tripled their win in distance.
[01:47:45]  And it's remarkable.
[01:47:48]  So something is happening.
[01:47:49]  Younger generations, you know, we assume to, you know, to all be uniformly left are fragmenting politically, especially around immigration and especially around,
[01:48:04]  you know, national identity, et cetera, et cetera, in Europe.
[01:48:08]  We've seen it coming for a long time.
[01:48:10]  It looks like things are changing there.
[01:48:12]  Also, a legal settlement this week with Meta forces key federal agencies now to stop pressuring social media to remove or suppress lawful speech.
[01:48:26]  They can't do it.
[01:48:27]  It's a big fine coming.
[01:48:29]  The agencies at the center of this, they were in regular contact with these platforms like Facebook and YouTube and others saying, you got to stop this, got to silence these people.
[01:48:41]  All of the internal communications were revealed in court, and the officials weren't just flagging illegal content.
[01:48:48]  You know this story.
[01:48:49]  They were nudging companies to take down posts.
[01:48:52]  I wouldn't even say they were nudging.
[01:48:53]  They were strong-arming these companies and saying, you'll have a problem with the White House if you don't.
[01:48:58]  And most of it was around COVID policy debate, but election integrity claims, dissenting viewpoints from credentialed experts, all of these things.
[01:49:10]  So now, no more coercing platforms to remove lawful speech, coordinating censorship through back channels or using third parties to bypass the First Amendment limits.
[01:49:21]  Those are now clearly ruled on.
[01:49:25]  That doesn't mean, you know, they're going to stop.
[01:49:27]  As soon as they get in, they'll be doing the same thing, you know.
[01:49:31]  But we've been debating this for a very long time, and now it's finally here.
[01:49:38]  It was a big win yesterday.
[01:49:41]  Also, another, I guess, revolution, I mean, scandal exposed.
[01:49:52]  According to intelligence reports, now under internal review, U.S. agencies have intercepted communications involving Ukrainian officials discussing a potential plan to route money towards the U.S. presidential reelection effort.
[01:50:10]  Who would have seen this coming?
[01:50:12]  Except, oh, I don't know, you and me.
[01:50:14]  We talked about this over and over again.
[01:50:16]  Where is all this money going?
[01:50:18]  Where is all of this money going?
[01:50:20]  You don't think that money is being aimed back directly here?
[01:50:23]  Of course it is.
[01:50:25]  Well, Tulsi Gabbard reportedly requested a full audit of the records from guess where, USAID, and determined, and they're trying to determine whether any federal funds were actually moved,
[01:50:40]  if the taxpayer dollars were involved, and whether the warrant, you know, this warrants, you know, criminal investigation and criminal referrals to the FBI.
[01:50:51]  The answer on that one is, of course it does, but will they do it?
[01:50:54]  Probably not.
[01:50:56]  This is a really significant thing.
[01:50:59]  They're never going to get to the bottom of it.
[01:51:01]  My guess is, but it's deeper than what you're reading about now.
[01:51:05]  A couple of other stories.
[01:51:07]  In Philadelphia, the district attorney there, Larry Krasner, isn't he a Soros person, Ricky?
[01:51:13]  Can you look that up?
[01:51:14]  I think he's a Soros person.
[01:51:16]  He just warned ICE agents assisting with TSA operations during the staffing shortages.
[01:51:23]  This is what he actually said.
[01:51:27]  If you violate local laws or civil rights, I will put you in handcuffs.
[01:51:32]  Well, here's my statement back to Larry.
[01:51:35]  Good.
[01:51:37]  That's your job.
[01:51:38]  He's a Tor Soros guy.
[01:51:41]  That's your job.
[01:51:42]  They should go in handcuffs if they're breaking the law or violating civil rights.
[01:51:48]  But let me add this, Larry.
[01:51:52]  If you use your power for political purposes and you try to obstruct the federal agencies from doing their laws, they're doing their work, you should be put in handcuffs.
[01:52:08]  This is a growing problem.
[01:52:10]  We are, you know, when different layers of government start treating each other as adversaries, you don't really have a nation.
[01:52:18]  You're back to a system that was almost like the, what was the Confederation of States or what do we call it?
[01:52:30]  Ah, shoot.
[01:52:31]  What is wrong with me?
[01:52:33]  What is happening to me?
[01:52:34]  It's Friday, right?
[01:52:35]  Yeah, no, it's Thursday.
[01:52:37]  You know, our first system of government before we had the Constitution, you know, that wasn't strong enough.
[01:52:43]  We had 13 states, 13 colonies that all wanted to do their own thing.
[01:52:48]  And so we had federalism, but there was no government that would hold enough of the power to hold it all together.
[01:52:55]  And that's really what we're doing.
[01:52:58]  We're going back to something that doesn't work.
[01:53:02]  It just doesn't work.
[01:53:03]  This is a really important warning sign.
[01:53:06]  There is another dividing line that is growing and it's growing larger every day.
[01:53:11]  We're becoming schizophrenic.
[01:53:12]  We really are.
[01:53:14]  The Boston fraud case, the woman from BLM that, you know, Bostontonian, you know, person of the year, what a surprise.
[01:53:23]  She was defrauding people, embezzling funds from BLM.
[01:53:28]  Gee, who would have seen that one coming?
[01:53:30]  By the way, despite her conviction, no prison time for her.
[01:53:36]  Just ordered to repay the funds.
[01:53:37]  And I'm sure that would happen to a Trump supporter or, you know, frankly, any average no-name American, you know, just a plumber.
[01:53:46]  And speaking of plumbers, do we have the, was it Jimmy Kimmel?
[01:53:50]  Let me play something that Jimmy Kimmel just said.
[01:53:54]  Go ahead, pick this up, please.
[01:54:00]  Don't worry, Trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne, Chuck Mike, Bruce Dave Mullen.
[01:54:12]  Maybe Mellon's better.
[01:54:13]  He is the now former senator of Oklahoma.
[01:54:16]  Before he was elected to the Senate, Mark Wayne Mullen was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber.
[01:54:23]  That's right.
[01:54:23]  We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now.
[01:54:28]  Oh my God.
[01:54:30]  Let me have some more pet pets.
[01:54:31]  Hey, love A, Love A.
[01:54:33]  We've got a plumber now doing, you know, things that only thinking people can do because plumbers can't think.
[01:54:40]  Oh my gosh, what a snot and snob.
[01:54:43]  By the way, I think any plumber that is ever called to Jimmy Kimmel's house shouldn't show up.
[01:54:51]  Let him show.
[01:54:51]  Go ahead, Jimmy.
[01:54:52]  Live without plumbers for a while.
[01:54:55]  You're going to love it.
[01:54:58]  The other thing is, all of your so-called experts have gotten us to where we are.
[01:55:05]  The plumbers weren't in charge.
[01:55:09]  Your beloved experts, your over educated nickname poops, the ones who create all of them.
[01:55:18]  You know what our founders believed?
[01:55:20]  Our founders believed that, you know, the average person was important.
[01:55:25]  The people who were actually doing the work, the farmers who had their hands in the soil every day, those were the important people.
[01:55:33]  Those, not the scholars, not the professors, those people were the ones that actually had the knowledge of how things should be run.
[01:55:41]  Things should be run.
[01:55:42]  But you go ahead.
[01:55:44]  Don't worry about it, Jimmy.
[01:55:45]  And by the way, what is it about plumbers?
[01:55:47]  Wasn't it, I mean, now we have this plumber that can't run DHS.
[01:55:53]  And before that, we had Joe the plumber.
[01:55:57]  Something about plumbers, man, they absolutely hate.
[01:55:59]  And by the way, I would be proud to tell my kid, do not become some sort of, don't get your doctorate in some, you know, egg-headed thing.
[01:56:09]  Become a plumber.
[01:56:10]  You're going to be far more successful and you'll last a lot longer in the grand scheme of things with AI coming.
[01:56:19]  Be a plumber, kids.
[01:56:20]  Be a plumber.
[01:56:22]  By the way, DEI, we keep going back and forth.
[01:56:26]  Have you noticed all of these things?
[01:56:29]  We seem to take a few steps forward.
[01:56:31]  The left is fighting back.
[01:56:34]  And they're fighting back right now.
[01:56:35]  And they're fighting back in the states in every way they can.
[01:56:39]  If you think DEI is dead, let me tell you what just happened in the University of Southern California.
[01:56:44]  They just canceled a debate in the state's governor race less than 24 hours before it was supposed to happen because all of the candidates were white.
[01:56:58]  Okay.
[01:57:01]  All of the top polling candidates.
[01:57:03]  Yeah, they happen to be white, but that was from the polls.
[01:57:06]  What are you saying?
[01:57:08]  Also, there was a man with low polling who could have gotten lots of cash from Silicon Valley.
[01:57:14]  They threw him into the debate as well.
[01:57:16]  But the problem wasn't the man who, you know, got a bunch of elite donors.
[01:57:20]  No, no, no.
[01:57:20]  They don't have a problem with that.
[01:57:21]  He wasn't a plumber, was he?
[01:57:23]  No, of course not.
[01:57:25]  The problem was he was white and everybody on stage was white.
[01:57:29]  And that's just, I mean, that's crazy.
[01:57:31]  I mean, what is the difference between that and the mullahs?
[01:57:34]  Honestly, what's the difference between that and any other dictatorial state that says, no, we'll only present the candidates.
[01:57:46]  Baby, that is the exact same thing that is that is happening right here.
[01:57:54]  The university cancels the event because the race, you know, is racist.
[01:58:01]  It's a mess.
[01:58:02]  It's a mess.
[01:58:04]  My podcast this week is with Jacob Savage.
[01:58:08]  He's got something to say on this.
[01:58:09]  He wrote a piece for Compact magazine called The Lost Generation.
[01:58:13]  It's about an entire generation of white male millennials who just entered the workforce just in time for DEI to slam the door in their face.
[01:58:23]  They can't get a job.
[01:58:25]  Vance shared his writing and he said, a lot of people think DEI is lame diversity seminars or racial slogans at NFL games.
[01:58:32]  In reality, it was a deliberate program of discrimination primarily against white men.
[01:58:37]  This is an incredible piece that describes the evil of DEI and its consequences.
[01:58:43]  That's from JD Vance talking about my podcast, the guys on my podcast.
[01:58:47]  It's true.
[01:58:48]  People are men demoralized in the name of inclusion.
[01:58:54]  And if you tried to stand up for them, you were a sexist or a racist.
[01:59:00]  But you can't just turn this into grievance politics.
[01:59:04]  So the question is, is there anything that we can do or is it too late for most men, most young men, is it too late?
[01:59:11]  Jacob was literally told by a Hollywood writer's room, they really wanted to hire him.
[01:59:16]  They thought he was really good, but they had too many white guys.
[01:59:19]  That was his dream.
[01:59:21]  He was told he couldn't do it because he was white and a male.
[01:59:26]  And that's still happening with the governor's race.
[01:59:29]  Isn't that exactly what happened?
[01:59:33]  DEI, it is not over yet.
[01:59:35]  My podcast with Jacob, white males need not apply out today on torch and this weekend, wherever you get your podcast.
[01:59:46]  All right.
[01:59:48]  It's interesting how rarely the things God calls us to do make us more popular.
[01:59:55]  In fact, I can't think of anything that makes you more popular.
[02:00:00]  God saying, this is what you should do.
[02:00:03]  Really doesn't work that way.
[02:00:05]  You know, the point is not approval or comfort.
[02:00:08]  It's whether you're willing to do what's right, even when it costs you something.
[02:00:12]  Take blessing the Jewish people.
[02:00:15]  You think that's the kind of thing that me reading this commercial, you think this is helping me?
[02:00:22]  No.
[02:00:24]  No, it's not.
[02:00:25]  Why am I willing to do it?
[02:00:27]  Because I believe it's right.
[02:00:30]  There are Jewish families right now living with real need, elderly men and women struggling to get by, communities that need security just to live their daily lives.
[02:00:38]  People who are still trying to find safety in a world that hasn't been all that kind to them.
[02:00:43]  The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is there stepping into that need with food, shelter, protection, and support.
[02:00:50]  Not because it's easy, not because it makes them popular, but because it's right.
[02:00:56]  Give $45 right now, Rush Lifesaving Essentials to the Vulnerable Under Fire.
[02:01:00]  Call 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ, or go online to ifcj.org.
[02:01:10]  Glenn Beck is back after this.
[02:01:32]  I want to thank you so much for listening, supporting.
[02:01:36]  And if you are a subscriber to Torch, thank you for doing that.
[02:01:40]  We have been having a problem.
[02:01:42]  I think we've had now four major attacks, DDOS attacks, on this program.
[02:01:50]  And we can only trace it so far.
[02:01:53]  Then it has to go to the federal government.
[02:01:54]  And they don't really do that kind of stuff unless it's, you know.
[02:01:58]  However, if you've been listening to the program and if you've noticed us drop out at all on the radio, it appears that our broadcast is actually now being tampered with as well.
[02:02:13]  So I would just like to say to anybody who's tampering, congratulations.
[02:02:19]  Thank you for doing me a favor.
[02:02:21]  You are now messing with the federal communications of the United States of America.
[02:02:26]  You've now just brought in the federal government, and we'll be making those calls today.
[02:02:33]  So thank you again.
[02:02:35]  And thank you, stations and subscribers and everybody else for putting up with it.
[02:02:41]  While we don't know what it is or who it is, we can't track it.
[02:02:47]  You can only go so far because it's well-funded and very good, but somebody does not want us talking about the things that we're talking about.
[02:02:57]  And it's weird because it started when we started talking about Iran and started, it started, I think our first day was with the Crown Prince of Iran.
[02:03:08]  They tried to take us out on that day and did a pretty good job on that day.
[02:03:13]  And we keep morphing and they keep morphing.
[02:03:17]  But we will stay a step ahead of them.
[02:03:20]  And again, thank you for welcoming in the resources of the United States of America.
[02:03:27]  I appreciate that.
[02:03:28]  Good job.
[02:03:29]  Good job.
[02:03:30]  All right.
[02:03:30]  We will see you tomorrow.
[02:03:31]  Thank you so much.
[02:03:33]  Stay safe.
[02:03:35]  Stay on your knees.
[02:03:36]  And may God save the Republic.
[02:04:03]  Clamback is on.
