The ONE Critical Thing We’re All Missing Regarding Iran | 4/9/26

Glenn Beck argues that media censorship obscures Iran's 94-drone attack, revealing a power struggle between pragmatic leaders and the chaos-seeking IRGC. He asserts Trump's two-week pause strategically tests these factions while warning against the "Islamification of America" through school accommodations for Ramadan. Beck promotes his documentary "Blueprint of Our Own Demise," claiming an organized plan to infiltrate U.S. institutions via Sharia law, and advises young listeners to embrace risk and adaptability amidst AI disruption to secure their future.

Now, let's get to work.
One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you really feel disconnected without ever announcing itself.
You're still in the room, you're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up.
And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit, and you're just hoping.
Don't ask me anything because I don't know what we're talking about anymore.
What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial.
It's the process, it's the doctor appointments, the multiple visits, the adjustments, the price tag that makes you go, how, what?
So people wait and you shouldn't have to.

But I have a pretty good one today.
We're going to try to make sense of the world for you.
I mean, if the Republicans could figure out a way to screw things up even more, well, they'd be Republicans because they found a way to screw things up even more.
Two new ways.
Seeking Complex Truths 00:03:35
What the hell is wrong with these people?
We're going to talk about that.
Also, the Islamicist invasion continues.
Some disturbing news on that.
And the ceasefire held.
But there is a problem that at least I see, and maybe you don't.
I've been saying this since the war first came out.
I was so frustrated watching the news on the first weekend that the war started because I don't need opinions.
I want some facts.
And I think influencers and podcasters, maybe even me, we're just getting too far ahead of ourselves, just too far ahead of ourselves.
And it's not going to sit well with the American people.
I don't mean to say that I'm perfect because I'm not.
I know I'm messing it up too.
But I, as an individual, I want facts.
I want facts.
I want to understand what's happening.
And nobody is explaining to me.
They're telling me what they think is happening, but nobody is explaining the ground situation.
Nobody is really explaining look, this is not what you think it is.
This is much more complex than somebody just saying, Israel bad, America bad, Iran bad.
It's much more complex than that.
And I want to start there because there's some things that.
We have to clear up.
For instance, why is Israel hammering Lebanon?
Why is that even happening?
That's a trending question on X and Google today.
Why is Israel even hammering Lebanon?
So let me explain that.
But also, why is Lebanon and Israel the one in the news about the ceasefire when at the same time that was happening, no one reported that Iran launched 94 drones and 23 missiles at the Gulf states?
At the same time, Kuwait had 28 drones, some hitting oil power and desalinization facilities, which I thought was a war crime if Donald Trump was going to do that.
The UAE yesterday intercepted 17 missiles, 35 drones.
They hit a gas complex, injuring three, and Bahrain intercepted six missiles and 31 drones.
Okay, why was nobody talking about that, just Lebanon?
Well, because, quite honestly, I believe, and I'm going to give everybody the benefit of the doubt, Many of our sources online have been captured.
Whether they know it or not, they have been captured, and they're not giving the benefit of the doubt to America.
And I want to explain that in 60 seconds.
First, next time you find yourself climbing up a ladder to clean out your gutters, I want you to pause for a second and really think about what you're doing.

So, why does this feel so chaotic?
Why do we really not know what's going on?
When you watch something, and this is a normal human trait, we have this innately so we can survive.
We are not meant to live in chaos, and we're not meant to live in a world that is so unbelievably complex.
So we're all looking for answers.
We're all looking for meaning.
We're looking for straight lines that make sense to us.
Draw a line and say, that's what's happening.
Unfortunately, in something like this, at this point, that instinct is going to hurt you because what we're looking at right now is not clean.
It isn't one plan.
It's not, you know, it's not just one guy or even two guys moving pieces across the board.
It is competing interests stacked on top of each other, sometimes working together, sometimes working at cross purposes, sometimes colliding in ways nobody fully controls at all.
So let me just take this apart.
What are we looking at here?
We're looking at first Iran.
From the outside, it's easy to say Iran.
And it's one thing, one regime, one decision maker, one intention.
But it's not.
It's not.
You have the people who some of them are for the old regime.
I think the majority are against the old regime.
But we haven't even seen anything from them.
Then you have the politicians who sit across tables and speak the language of diplomacy and understand sanctions and markets.
Pressures and what isolation is going to cost us and all of that crap.
Okay.
And those people are now the pragmatists.
They're the ones going, we got to keep the country breathing.
The economy is about to collapse.
I have a story on this coming up in just a minute.
I can quote them word for word.
The economy is about to collapse.
Then you have another group.
You have the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
This is a completely different animal entirely.
They don't just fight the wars.
They are the ones that run industries.
They control all of the ports.
They move the money.
They have built a banking and ecosystem that feeds off of chaos and instability.
The more tension in the system, the more relevant they become, the more indispensable they become.
And they're not dead yet.
So when you see a negotiation on one side and a missile on the other, the easy answer to say, they're out of control.
No, no, no.
Sometimes they are, sometimes they're not.
Sometimes they're doing exactly what they were built to do, apply pressure without triggering collapse.
Now let's look at the other players.
Let's just look at China because there was something going around yesterday going, China, you know, Donald Trump is playing and going after China.
And I think that's part of it.
But China's not in this for the ideology.
Let's look at China here for a second.
They certainly don't care about, you know, revolution and theology.
What they care about is flow of oil, trade routes, stability where it matters, instability where it can be managed.
No one, well, except honestly the IRGC, nobody wants chaos because it doesn't benefit anybody if you want to live in today's world.
Okay.
Iran is giving them away around all of the pressure to be able to keep them on their side.
That's discounted energy.
Okay.
But there's a limit to that because China doesn't want to fire.
It can't control.
It doesn't want a regional war that spikes global markets or forces choices that it doesn't want to make.
So the relationship with China is real, but it's not blind loyalty.
It's transactional, and it can tighten or loosen depending on the temperature.
Then you have Israel.
Israel, they've got to send us war.
Can we just look at Israel for what it really is?
A separate state that thinks that it is, right or wrong, thinks that it is facing an existential danger, that these guys will wipe Israel off the face of the map.
It's a decision of not if, but when, which one's going to do it.
And they're not waiting around for anyone else to solve this.
They have their own.
Own interest.
You don't have to like them.
You don't have to agree with them, but they are a separate entity entirely.
They act when they believe they have to, and those actions also ripple outward whether anybody likes it or not.
Every strike, every response, everything feeds back into the system and changes the next move.
For instance, yesterday, ceasefire is over.
I want to get into that here in a little while, but let me just say why.
Why were they saying that?
Because Israel was hitting Lebanon.
And there is a dispute.
Was that part of the ceasefire or not?
I'll get into this later.
But let me explain why they are going after Lebanon.
They're not going after Lebanon or the Lebanese people.
They're going after Hezbollah.
And I want to forget about the Middle East for a second.
Let me explain this as Mexico.
Let's say right across the border there was, and this is not going to be a far stretch, right across the border there was a.
A vile, awful, nasty drug cartel just over the border in Mexico.
And we knew they were doing more than just pumping drugs into us.
We knew that they were planting bombs and killing our citizens on this side of the border.
And we had had enough.
And we had said to Mexico over and over again, you got to control this.
You got to get them out of there.
You got to get them out of there.
And they never did.
And so then we said, okay, we'll do it.
And at some point, Mexico said, we're with you on that.
You got to get out this drug cartel.
You got to stop it and you got to get out.
But they couldn't really mean it.
They didn't have the teeth to do it.
They wanted that, but they're not going to be able to do it themselves.
And so, what would we do?
We wouldn't care if Mexico was with us or against us.
We wouldn't care if there was a big global war that was happening someplace else.
If our people were being killed by this drug cartel terrorist group, we would bomb them.
That's what Israel is doing.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong.
I'm not saying you have to like it.
I'm just telling you what it is.
That's why they were bombing, because they have Hezbollah.
Which, by the way, is a proxy of Iran, Hezbollah, right across their border.
And they've made it very clear.
We're not taking it anymore.
We are wiping all of this out.
Okay?
And these groups like Hezbollah and everything else, they're in this gray zone.
They're actually connected.
They're an arm of the IRGC in Iran.
But everybody wants to keep them in the gray zone.
But they're operating with the money and the consent of the IRGC.
And they extend the battlefield.
They blur the responsibility.
They make ceasefire a word that doesn't mean what everybody thinks it means.
So when something breaks, when missiles fly, when agreements look like they're ignored, the temptation is to say, somebody violated something.
Somebody broke the deal.
And it is weird to me, as I told you just a minute ago, how many bombs and missiles and drones the IRGC sent over the border of.
Other countries yesterday, and the same time that Israel was bombing Lebanon, and that's a clear violation.
What what Iran did is not in dispute.
That's a clear violation, but no one reported on it, which then goes to why, why?
What was the motivation of almost everyone in our press yesterday, what was the motivation of those who are podcasters and influencers To not mention that?
I'll tell you what Israel is doing, and I'll tell you you don't have to like it, but that's what they're doing.
But I'll also tell you this is what Iran was doing.
And I'm not saying one is better than the other or one causes the other.
I'm just telling you the facts.
Why would no one do this?
This is where the hot take influencers and podcasters are coming in because they'll all say there's a master plan, and it ranges from Donald Trump has sold us out.
or Iran, I mean, Israel is selling us out or whatever, whatever.
Strategies Amidst Constraints 00:03:33
Okay.
And they'll make it look like everything is being controlled and, you know, one person is pulling all the strings.
It's satisfying.
It honestly, it helps you reduce the chaos in your own mind.
And it helps you feel perhaps more secure because we need that reduction in chaos.
But most of the time, it's not right.
It's not right.
And it's not right because we don't have all of the facts yet.
And also, power at this level, when it is this complex, is not a single mind playing perfect chess.
It is moving through advisors and priorities and different countries and public pressure and limited information.
There are strategies, there are patterns, but there's also just reaction.
There are moments when decisions are made with incomplete. picture and that's happening right now in real time in in all of our information systems So let me go through this because there are constraints here in America.
And there are things you need to understand.
And then I want to go through some of the things that people were saying and I want to explain them to you.
Not justify anything, just explain them to you so you maybe can reduce the chaos in your day and understand this a little bit better.
We'll continue here in just 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
Our sponsor is SuperSure.
Most business owners don't set out to create a complicated insurance situation, it just happens over time because you can't.
Buy everything all from one person.
You can't, it doesn't work that way.
Well, it didn't used to.
You know, you work with one broker for one thing and then somebody else for somebody else, and then coverage spreads across different places.
You haven't looked at it as a whole.
Nobody really is.
This is where SuperSure comes in.
This is brand new.
This is a licensed insurance agency that has reinvented.
I'm telling you, this is the future of insurance.
My wife grew up in an insurance family, and this is something I know my father in law would have loved.

Their platform is clean, straightforward.
It gives you a clear view of your policies, your documents, your coverage.
You're not digging through emails or chasing down information.

Okay.
So we have things that are really constraining us.
Here in America, we're constrained by our war fatigue and our economic risk.
Alliances that we have that have to be managed, not commanded.
And everything we do carries weight beyond the immediate target.
So, when you're looking at the news of the day, especially when it comes to the war, you have to understand you're not watching one or two entities.
Pakistan Supply Chains 00:15:29
You're watching a very crowded room.
Different players, different goals, overlapping strategies, some of them pushing towards stability, others benefiting from tension, few trying to shape outcomes that nobody fully controls.
Iran's not a voice.
China isn't a puppet master.
The United States isn't operating without limits.
Israel isn't sitting still or controlling all of it.
The proxies are not background noise.
All of it is one giant stew.
And if you try to reduce this, as people have been trying to do, one villain, one genius, one plan, you're going to miss the signals that actually matter.
And I did my homework on this yesterday because I thought of something that really kind of scared me.
And I thought, oh, I haven't even thought of this.
And I started doing my homework on it.
And I think we're okay.
But with that one understanding, it gave me a completely different view of even this 10 point plan, which we don't even know what the 10 points are.
Okay.
We don't even know.
But you got to look for the small shifts and the pressure points and the moments where things can tip, not necessarily because somebody intended it, but because the moving parts lined up in the wrong way or the wrong time.
Or worse yet, I've been telling you this for a while world wars are not started by one party.
You know, just being crazy.
It's usually started by one party just making a bad miscalculation.
That's how situations like this get away from people.
And that's why I urge podcasters and everybody else slow down.
Slow down.
You don't have to be right today.
You don't.
Just try to make sense.
Try to help people understand what is happening right now.
Because if we don't, if things like this get misunderstood, The next move is usually made with far too much confidence.
We have to understand it first.
And we have to understand first that we don't understand it.
That's why I think we need to slow down.
That's what I think the media, new and old, is missing.
So let me get to the problem that hit me yesterday.
And I think I have a happy answer after doing some homework.
But our side is being run by the world's best dealmaker, right?
I trust that guy to sit down at the table against anybody and make a deal and think that deal is going to be in our best interest and we're going to get the best deal we could possibly get with whomever he's sitting across the table.
Okay.
But he's used to sitting down with people who are buying buildings or, you know, even nations that nations want to survive.
There is a group of people in the IRGC that they think their win is death and chaos.
We're judging all these non-existent 10-point deals and talking about deal-making, but what if the people that actually have control don't want a deal?
They want the return of the Mahadi.
How should we be negotiating if we knew we were playing against those kind of players?
I'll give you that answer in about half an hour.
I also want to just go through some of the chaos yesterday and kind of put it into perspective to help you understand.
Next.
All right.
Tell me about my Patriot supply.

First thing people realize is how much they were counting on everything working the way it always has.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
So, yesterday seemed a little chaotic, and I don't know about you.
I get worn down by stuff like this where it's constantly changing.
And it's not that it's just constantly changing because that's the fog of war.
But you notice nobody's talking about the fog of war?
Very well known.
What is the fog of war?
War is moving so fast, so many moving pieces are happening.
You just don't really see things clearly because you can't.
It's moving so quickly.
But nobody's talking about that.
That's why I'm suggesting.
Slow down, everybody.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Don't dig your heels in on anything, on anything, because you don't know.
We're in the fog of war.
And I get so tired because I know this is going to move, but then everybody digs their heels in and they like are saying, you know, I have to hate this person or you have to hate me or whatever.
I'm so tired of that.
I'm so tired of that.
You know, yesterday Glenn Greenwald came in and this is something that Ricky is.
Upset about because I'll let her explain for a sec.
But I don't hate Glenn Greenwald.
I like Glenn Greenwald.
I think he's done a lot of great things.
I disagree with him on some things, and that's okay.
That is the most important thing.
Isn't that the cornerstone of what we're trying to protect if we're saying we want to protect and save the Republic?
I want to protect his right to say I'm wrong.
That's the way this is supposed to work.
And I'm not going to hate him for saying I'm wrong.
I'm just not.
And you know what?
He, in the end, might be right.
I don't think he is.
I don't think he is.
What did he bring up yesterday about the ceasefire?
Right?
Yes.
So you got community noted, and this isn't about X Wars.
This isn't about slamming former friends of the show like Dave Smith and Glenn Greenwald.
They are friends of the show.
Sorry, not former, current friends of the show.
We love you, and we just don't understand why you have to slam Glenn on X, but maybe it's because this is how you get paid.
Anyways, um, Because of their slams on you, because you had some humility yesterday.
You said you didn't remember Lebanon being included in the ceasefire agreement.
Yesterday was a very kinetic day, lots of changes, lots of back and forth, lots of various deal plans being passed around on X, and we didn't know what was real and what was true and what was still in development.
So at the end of the day, you got a community note.
That means for those of you who don't live on X and still have a soul, this means a bunch of people decided to fact check us.
Well, I feel.
Very passionate about making sure that we get the story right.
So we spent all day yesterday figuring out were we wrong?
Is it true?
Was Lebanon included in the ceasefire agreement?
And we were sorry, but we were right.
And everyone else is wrong.
And they're the ones missing context, not us.
Wait, wait.
May I push back?
I'm not sure we're right.
It depends on who you listen to.
We're right in that we said.
We're not sure.
There are various versions of the ceasefire agreement going out as of the timeline.
You're right.
Okay.
As of the timeline.
Okay.
Do I have to go through the timeline?
You don't.
It's very tedious.
But you make the point today and yesterday that as of 10 a.m. yesterday, the version that we saw and the version that we listened to was from Donald Trump.
We didn't even see the one from Packers.
Right.
And didn't we talk about that a little bit on the show yesterday, Jason?
Then we talk about how, because we got something from PBS or something.
Specifically.
That's what I was talking about.
Yeah, exactly.
For that clip, it had just come out from the president.
And this was right after the news that Israel had bombed elements within Lebanon.
And so a PBS reporter asked the president, was Lebanon included?
And he said very specifically, they were not included in the deal.
And he went on to say that everyone knows this.
That's what you were responding to.
So, we were not taking the word of Pakistan, the Iranians, anything else, which I'm sure you'll get into in a second on the multiple different versions.
We were taking the word from the president of the United States.
That's what you were reacting to in that clip.
So, let me just give you.
So, the U.S. and Iran only mentioned a ceasefire in Iran and between the U.S. and Iran with Pakistan as the mediator.
Pakistan confirmed the deal.
This is Tuesday night, but added that the ceasefire covered the entire region, including Lebanon.
Israel stated it supports Trump's version of the ceasefire.
Notice that.
But added that Iran must extend the ceasefire to include Israel and regional allies, and specifically said Israeli attacks in Lebanon were immune.
Okay.
Now, remember, nobody is reporting that the ceasefire is being violated by the IRGC.
I don't think the people that we are sitting down at the table with, but by the IRGC.
They're attacking all of the neighbors in the Middle East.
Okay.
What was it?
Did I say 91, 71?
I don't remember.
A lot of missiles were.
were lost and lobbed over to, you know, the Arab countries from Iran.
Nobody talks about that.
They talk about Israel.
Well, so yes, and I don't remember seeing that because I didn't read the press release from Pakistan because Pakistan also was cutting and pasting, you know, 10 point deals.
And I don't know what I can trust from Pakistan.
I don't actually look at Pakistan as an ally, you know, the country that was You know, hiding Osama bin Laden for a long time.
I know it's a complex situation, blah, blah, blah, but we can trust him.
Great.
I would trust, but verify everything.
Here's what this comes down to.
Okay.
Who do you trust?
Who do you trust with information?
Now, I'm going to be straight up with you.
I don't fully trust anyone.
Anyone.
Because everyone has their own reasons for saying things.
For instance, I think the president is being honest, but I also think the president is.
Can't say some things because of the markets because whatever whatever even politics.
I just say that I hope it never comes down to that But politics he's got to also politics so I don't trust anyone, but do you trust anything that is coming from Iran?
I don't Okay, I don't Do I trust anything from Israel in this situation?
I don't now, you know, I'm a supporter of the Israeli state and the Jewish people, but I don't trust anything that's coming out of Israel.
Why?
Because they have their own interests.
They are a nation that thinks that they are facing, you don't have to agree with this, but they think they're facing an existential threat.
They think it's us or them, period.
And this is their time and they're not going to do it anymore.
Okay.
So their interest is that wipe these people out before they wipe us out.
So I don't trust them because they're working towards their goals.
Do you trust Pakistan?
Pakistan.
The prime minister.
Do you know anything about the prime minister of Pakistan?
Because I don't.
So, if I look at those, just those four, and say, US, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, there's only one choice for me to trust, and I don't fully trust, but I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt, and that's us.
That's the United States.
So, when you are looking at what the president is saying, and he's saying, no, we didn't agree with Lebanon, we didn't agree with that.
Israel, you know, I don't trust Israel, so I discount what they say.
I certainly discount what Iran says because Iran, the night before it came out because of the president, that Iran, what they issued and what the president issued, whether they're true or not, I don't know.
But they were on the same page about it was Iran.
The attacks on Iran had to stop.
That's what the ceasefire was about.
Then comes Pakistan.
I just, I'm having a really hard time here.
Because it seems so obvious to me.
We're at war.
I'm not saying that our side is always right.
I'm not saying that our side couldn't lie.
I'm just saying if I have to in a snap moment when the facts are absolutely unclear and we're in the fog of war, you do one of two things.
You say, I don't trust anybody.
Or I don't trust anybody, but the one I trust the most, I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to our side.
And I don't know why people can't do that.
I really don't.
I think it is a mental disorder at this point.
I really do.
And I understand that people don't want war.
I don't either.
They don't want any of this stuff.
But really?
You believe Pakistan and Iran more than you believe our side?
Okay.
And I'm not saying that.
I'm not saying that we're not going to lie.
And I'm also not saying that we have facts anywhere.
What we have are people making claims.
Do we have the audio of who was it?
Was it Trump or Caroline or who was it that was yesterday saying, we don't even know the 10 point plans?
Avoiding Hardened Positions 00:05:29
There are like 50 different 10 point plans out there.
We have that?
Go ahead.
The Iranians originally put forward a 10 point plan that was fundamentally unserious, unacceptable, and completely discarded.
It was literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump and his negotiating team.
Many outlets in this room have falsely reported on that plan as being acceptable to the United States, and that is false.
With the President's deadline fast approaching and the United States military completely decimating Iran with each passing hour, the regime acknowledged reality to the negotiating team.
They put forward a more reasonable and entirely different and condensed plan to the President and his team.
President Trump and the team determined the new modified plan was a workable basis on which to negotiate.
And to align it with our own 15 point proposal.
The president's red lines, namely the end of Iranian enrichment in Iran, have not changed.
And the idea that President Trump would ever accept an Iranian wish list as a deal is completely absurd.
The president will only make a deal that serves in the best interests of the United States of America.
And he, as a negotiating team, will focus on this effort over the next two weeks.
So, this is why I say to you slow down.
Don't harden a position.
Because yesterday, when before you heard about the multiple different 10 point plans, and there was confusion yesterday, I'm like, wait a minute, this one came from Iran, this one came from us, which one is right?
Blah, blah, blah.
And then later in the day, you hear this.
You can be right right now, but 10 minutes later, you can be completely wrong.
Because Fog of war.
We can't trust anything right now.
All I'm saying is don't add to the confusion.
Don't add to the chaos.
There are agents of chaos that want chaos.
Don't get involved in it in any way.
Don't add any chaos to anything.
Don't harden yourself in any position now because when you do, you will start just.
You'll have to defend it and you'll start making enemies.
You'll start accusing people of being enemies.
And then you will have a very hard time to retreat from that.
And you need to be able to be flexible right now and say, I don't know.
I don't know.
With the information that I have right now, this is what it looks like.
But I don't know.
With the information that I have and that information, I, for one, trust the United States more than any of the other players.
So I'm going to put my trust there.
It might be misplaced in the end.
But I'm putting my trust there.
But I'm not putting my bet on the table.
I'm telling you where I'm leaning.
I'm leaning.
I'm going to lean because I don't know the truth yet.
I'm going to lean towards us, give us the benefit of the doubt because the others are not reliable.
And I'm not going to harden my position.
I'm not going to get into a fight every day when the facts of that fight and that argument change every day.
Let's just look at the facts as they are today.
Deal with what we can.
Be aware of everything because it's moving quickly.
Be aware of everything so you're not ever caught off guard and you understand what's happening.
But there's no reason to raise your blood pressure.
None.
None whatsoever.
Back in just a second.
I'll tell you about real estate agents I trust.
There is a big difference between somebody who can do a job and somebody who does it well every single day.
And in real estate, that difference can cost you because on the surface, it Looks really simple.
You put the house on the market, you show it, you negotiate, you close, done.
But underneath that, there's a lot of work, a lot of hundreds of decisions that shape the outcome.
And most of them don't look important in the moment.
How do you price it?
How do you position?
How much money do I actually have to spend on fixing it up for the sale?
Will it actually make a difference?
You get all of those things right, get everything right.
It works.
You get some of them wrong and you can lose time, you can lose money, you can lose both.
That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust because you don't know you need somebody who can get you through the whole process.
Until you need somebody who can get you through the whole process.
You need somebody who's been vetted, who knows the market, who understands how to navigate all these decisions and is not learning as they go.

America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
So yesterday, I'm watching all of this stuff, and I see the vice president on the Tarbac in Hungary, and he starts talking about all of the confusion of the 10-point plan, which 10-point plan, blah, blah, blah.
And we were talking about it yesterday, and we're like, which 10-point plan are we talking about?
This is what we call the fog of war.
And this is also what happens when you have a global media that is instantaneous, that you can put anything on the internet.
And it will go global immediately.
So we don't even know what we're even arguing about.
But more importantly, I want to start with what JD Van said.
And then I want to take you to.
We're missing one critical fundamental fact.
One fundamental fact that we cannot even project one way or another.
This is going to be good or this is going to be bad.
We cannot even go there.
You can't make an opinion without this one fact.
And I don't have it.
Nobody has it.
But I want to share that because it's critical that you understand because this is what we're really searching for.
This will explain so many pieces of the news and even the way the president is behaving.
And I'll get into that here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about LifeLock.
If you get a call or voicemail out of nowhere saying that you'll back taxes, you need to act immediately, first reaction should be, no.
That's one of the most common scams out there.
And they'll try to sound official.
They'll tell you from the IRS or wherever, and they'll create urgency.
You're going to jail in 10 minutes.
We got the police coming for you.
Don't believe any of it.
The goal is simple just get you to panic just enough to hand over information or money before you stop and think about it.
The real IRS doesn't operate that way.
They make contact by mail first, they don't demand immediate payment over the phone.
It's scams like this one that are exactly why services like Lifelock make a huge difference.
Because even when you know what to look for, these scams keep getting more and more sophisticated, and having somebody monitor for suspicious activity, helping you respond if something goes wrong, can make all the difference in the world.
You need to protect yourself with Lifelock.

So, yesterday on the tarmac in Hungary, the vice president was speaking to reporters and he was just asking, you know, could we get some honesty from the press?
And he was talking specifically about the multiple versions of the 10 point plan because somebody had asked him about the 10 point plan.
Are we willing to accept this?
Listen to what he said.
About Iran, sir.
So, let me just say given the guys are going to ask about Iran, let me just say a few things, actually.
So, number one, I think it's very important for the American media to be honest.
With the American people on this particular issue because it affects not just, you know, the normal issues of public policy, it actually affects peace and war.
And here's what I mean.
So, in the past couple of days, I've seen a lot of reporting from the American media about the 10 point proposal that the Iranians have made.
Now, as I know, because I've been involved in this, there are three different 10 point proposals, at least, that I've seen floating around.
The first 10 point proposal was something that was submitted, and we think, frankly, was probably written by ChatGPT that was submitted to Steve.
And Jared Kushner.
That immediately went in the garbage and was rejected.
There was a second 10 point proposal that was much more reasonable, that was based on some back and forth between us, between the Pakistanis, and the Palestinians.
That is the 10 point proposal that the president was referencing in his truth yesterday.
And then, frankly, I've seen a third 10 point proposal that's even more maximalist than the first 10 point proposal that's been floating around various social media channels.
Now, here's what's interesting about all this I've seen various organs, the New York Times, CNN, others, pick up and run.
The original 10 point proposal, based on little more than a random Yahoo in Iran, submitting it to public access television in the country of Iran, and then them saying that somehow represents the negotiating position of the government.
Okay.
See what he's saying here.
And my job is to help you try to make sense of the world.
And nothing in the world makes sense.
And especially in war, and war with this kind of media, and war with this kind of access to the internet, and everybody has an opinion.
And then you add on top of it AI.
I mean, it's going to get more and more confusing every day.
So I'm trying to.
Not tell you what's right or what's wrong.
I'm telling you right now, slow down, slow down.
He's talking about the 10 point plan.
And yesterday, we were arguing, I wasn't, but many people were arguing the president is going to, he's just going to let them charge for oil and he's going to let them have the nukes.
Well, that would be a disaster.
Okay, you don't even know which 10 point plan is real.
Now, yesterday, you might have thought that you knew which one was real, but you know today, you don't.
We have no idea which one is real.
There are multiple versions of this.
And so all of that energy was wasted yesterday.
But let's just say that we did know that there was only one version of the 10-point plan.
Should we argue about it and dig our heels in it right now if we knew there was one?
My answer would be no, because we're missing one critical piece of information.
Who are we dealing with on the other side?
Hear me out on this.
You have to reset your instincts entirely before you even start this conversation.
Because most of us in America, we think negotiation is about finding the overlap, you know, finding the places of commonality.
You figure out what the other guy wants, you give a little, they take a little, they walk away with something, and it's good for both.
I mean, if it's a good deal, it's good for both parties.
Right, but that game only works if you're all playing that game.
But look at what we're dealing with right now: Donald Trump has just announced a two-week pause, ceasefire, bombing stops, window opens.
By the way, the ceasefire held yesterday.
And everybody was upset.
He's going to stop.
He's going to stop.
He's negotiating.
Hear me out on this.
This is a negotiator's move.
You create space.
All right.
You lower the temperature.
You heat it up, heat it up, heat it up, heat it up.
And then you lower the temperature so either side can step back without losing face.
You can give everybody an exit ramp.
Okay.
And in business, this works all the time, all the time, because you know the guy on the other end of the table wants to make a deal.
But what if the guy across the table isn't just a guy?
What if it's a system that doesn't want any deal?
Even worse than that.
This is what you're seeing this week.
And this is so critical.
The politicians in Tehran are signaling restraint.
Elements tied to the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, they're not.
It was the Guard Corps, the IRGC, that were lobbing missiles over to the Gulf nations yesterday that nobody reported on.
That was the IRGC.
Looks like a violation.
But I actually think it's something more dangerous than a violation.
This is the system arguing with itself in real time with weapons.
And if you don't understand that, you misread everything.
You know, Trump, whether you like him or not, has spent a lifetime dealing with people who.
You know, want something that you can measure.
You know, maybe it's building its real estate, whatever, a golf course in Scotland.
But he's never been in Scotland negotiating on a golf course and had somebody there that's like, oh, I'm going to vaporize Scotland and you.
Okay, that's, I mean, how do you deal with that person?
You don't have any common ground.
Iran is not one system, it's at least two.
And there appears to be part of it that wants to survive, discounting the people.
Just the regime itself.
Part of it wants to survive.
That is the part that Trump is negotiating with.
Okay.
And they want to keep the lights on.
They want to maintain control.
They want to live.
And then there's the part that sees chaos as the answer.
Okay.
The IRGC.
Those are the Twelvers.
That's the Shia sect that wants to hasten the return of the Mahdi and the promised one.
Okay.
That worldview is not about, you know, keeping the power on and quarterly results.
That is washing the world with blood.
You don't close a deal with that at all.
That side, you have to kill or defang and cage it.
Those are your only options.
So what does somebody in Donald Trump's Uh position do when the other side is split between those One?
Chaos as an Answer 00:12:25
you don't negotiate with the country.
You start negotiating with the fracture.
You give the survival-minded faction enough fear and then enough hope to hold on to.
Just enough incentive to keep them engaged.
At the same time, you make escalation for the IRGC not painful, absolutely catastrophic.
If you hit it, you hit it hard.
Be careful.
You hit it too hard, too fast.
You could actually unify the system against you.
Notice that's what everybody was saying.
He's going to wipe out all of the Iranians and turn them all against us.
Yeah, he could have if that's what he was going to do, but that's not what he was doing.
He was negotiating.
That's not what he was doing.
That's why he backed up, stopped, stopped before he did that because you can't unify the system.
If you do that, the ones who are the strong ones, the ones that just want to destroy everything, they become in charge.
Okay.
This is one reason why the pause came.
So, what do you do with a two week pause?
Well, you do a couple of things.
And everybody in the last couple of days has been saying, two week pause, that's going to get them time to regroup.
Yes, good.
Our side just kept saying, Taco, Trump chickened out.
He's a war criminal that chickened out.
But if you understand, this isn't a normal negotiation.
You realize this isn't weakness and it's not surrender.
This is somebody trying to test which part of Iran is actually in control.
If you're dealing with a fractured negotiation partner, you need to figure out which one is stronger than the other.
You need to figure out which one is actually in charge.
So you push it to the limit, you create a window, and then you watch what fills it.
If restraint fills it, do you notice this has held last night?
Nobody broke the ceasefire.
If that fills this space, then you have somebody to talk to.
If missiles fill it, then you've learned something else entirely.
You got to go back to work.
So here's the problem with this.
The news this week shows both possibilities at the same time.
You've got signals suggesting that parts of the Iranian leadership want a way out.
At the same time, you've got rockets and proxies and noise.
Two realities, same country.
So the question becomes.
Donald Trump is the best negotiator in the world.
I think he does, but does he understand that he's got doomsday people on the other side?
I think he does.
He's not trying to make a deal with something as a whole.
You know, when Neville Chamberlain sat down with Adolf Hitler and, you know, made the Munich Agreement, he thought he was dealing with a man who wanted, you know, some defined gains.
He wasn't.
He wasn't.
He was dealing with a movement that fed on expansion, on craziness.
That agreement didn't solve anything.
It just bought time for Germany and not for the people who thought they were buying it.
Now, fast forward Cold War, American presidents negotiated with the Soviet Union.
That system had ideology too.
It talked about global revolution, but it also wanted to survive.
And that's why the deals held, because we had mad mutually assured destruction.
Because underneath everything that the Soviet Union was said, they still feared, just like we did, the fear of annihilation, nuclear war.
That's a line you're not going to cross.
The real question is who is controlling Iran today?
And which side of the line does the power fall on?
The one that understands MAD or the other side that may actually welcome nuclear destruction?
That's the whole game.
That's the fundamental question we're missing.
Because if enough of that system wants to survive, then what Trump is doing, pressure mixed with pauses, will work.
If the balance is tipping the other way, then that faction that welcomes chaos gains control.
Then every pause becomes an opportunity for them, and we have to go back in and keep hitting them hard.
Every opening becomes cover.
Every negotiation is just a delay tactic.
We've seen that happen before.
He's not dumb enough to fall for that again.
So what you're seeing now feels really, really messy because it is.
It's why today I'm telling you, and I try to tell you this every day, at least during the war here, is.
We don't know what we're dealing with.
We don't know who we're even dealing with.
And in this particular scenario, both outcomes are logical and reasonable as endpoints.
And they have extraordinarily different endings.
This is not a clean negotiation.
You know, this is Donald Trump.
If he would have gone in and tried to negotiate for some company, you know, he's going to buy some company, and half the board wants to restructure and wants to sell to him, and the other half is literally setting the building on fire while the meeting is happening.
You could talk all you want.
You can still make your moves, but you better understand which side is actually holding the matches and which one has control of the doors.
And I think watching this week, Trump understands exactly what he's dealing with.
He didn't go all the way in, he didn't try to end it in one dramatic move.
He pushed it to the limit and then created space, and now he's watching.
That's not how you close a real estate deal, but that is the way you would probe a system to find out.
Who's in charge?
Who can I trust?
And quite honestly, and then you can also know the names of the people you need to target.
Understanding this is not the same as mastering it because this kind of negotiation has a really hard truth built into it.
You don't get a clean win.
You don't get a document that signs away or gives you everything that you want.
What you get, if you do it right, is time time for the pressure to work, time for internal fractures to widen, time for people to get stronger on the streets, time for the side that wants to survive to outweigh the side that doesn't care if everything burns.
But if you get it wrong, you don't just lose a deal.
You strengthen the part of the system that was never interested in survival in the first place.
So when you watch the headlines this week, pause.
Missiles, mixed signals.
It's not confusion.
That's the reality of what happens when a negotiator used to dealing with self-interest, as every negotiator in the West is, sits across from a system where not everybody's values of survival are the same.
We'll see.
Let's watch it play out.

You know, one insider just said, Glenn, you got to stop talking about the Twelvers because you're preaching to the choir.
You need to talk to Washington.
I am flying to Washington this afternoon.
I'm going to be speaking to some very important people about Twelvers and the invasion of Islamists here in America and what is actually going on.
Earlier this week, we posted an edited version of the Jihad from Within, the special that we did, the blueprints of all of this.
And I posted it to YouTube.
YouTube has certain guidelines, and if you violate them, it's all kinds of trouble.
So we played by the rules and we edited, but I wanted you to see where the edits are.
And then when I saw it myself, I'm like, this is unwatchable because so much had to be edited.
You couldn't even follow it.
It's just horrible.
I know that was frustrating because it was frustrating to me.
So if you try to watch it on YouTube, it's frustrating to you.
I've decided I'm going to put it up in a couple places today StopTheConquest.com.
It is absolutely free.

You know what's interesting about gutters?
No, I don't.
I mean, I don't have an answer for that.
Nothing is interesting.
I think it's a really boring topic.
They get interesting when you have to stand on a ladder and you're cleaning them out.
That's when it really gets interesting.
No, what gets interesting is falling off the ladder.
When the gutters are working, everything's fine.
When they start to clog up, you don't usually notice them.
Water has to go someplace and it usually goes down and it goes into your roof line, it goes down your siding, it goes into your foundation, and it sucks.
So, leaf filter exists.
So, you don't have to think about gutters because leaf filter people find gutters very.
Very, very fascinating.
They live for that.
They've done their thinking on it and they do their job really well.

If you're frustrated by the censored YouTube version of our special exposing radical Islam, the full, uncut torch version is free at StopTheConquest.com.
Watch it now.
All right,
I want to show you some things that are going on.
So, while everything is happening overseas right now, there's a lot happening in our own backyard that we cannot be distracted and miss.
For instance, the GOP is doing all they can to lose yet another election.
Islamification of America 00:15:27
But, of course, I want to talk to you a little bit about the Islamification of America.
And you're going to have friends who say, this isn't happening.
This is a conspiracy theory.
Oh, relax.
Don't listen to them.
Do not listen to them.
Give them my special.
Give them the booklet.
It doesn't have my name on it, it doesn't have my face in it, it has nothing.
So they'll never know it came from me.
It's a free booklet stoptheconquest.com.
But I need you to watch this because we are not.
It's weird.
We are fighting over things that don't matter, that are not necessarily happening.
For instance, we're fighting over the 10 bullet points, the 10 point plan.
We don't even know which.
10 point plan is even real, but we'll fight over that.
But then we will completely ignore the things that we should be talking about.
We'll spend days on the 10 point plan, but we won't spend 10 minutes on, hey, do you know what's happening with Ramadan in the Nashville public schools?
And I'm going to give you a couple of stories here, and it's going to sound like, well, you know, I want to be tolerant because that is who America is.
While they say America is racist and we're Islamophobic, you know how I know they don't believe that?
Because they're using that against us.
It's part of the strategy.
Americans want to accommodate.
We want to be good.
We want to be kind.
We want to be open minded.
And that is what's happening in Nashville.
Let me just give you this unbelievable story.
It was a Wednesday morning, partway through the month of Ramadan, and many of John Overton High School Muslim students had been awake since 4 30.
These students had been fasting every day for more than a week and woke up in time for suhoor, the last chance to eat or drink before the sun rises.
Some chose foods that are hydrating, like watermelon or cucumber, so they could withstand not drinking any water until the sun sets.
Others just ate a couple of dates.
After breakfast, it was time for the first five prayers of the day.
Many students prayed together, and their families had a chance to be together, share a spiritual connection before parting ways for school or work.
Some went back to sleep briefly before the 7 a.m. bell.
In one first period English class with several Muslim students, other students had paper bowls on their desks filled with cereal or cookies, as well as cartons of apple juice or milk.
At this point in the day, the students who were fasting felt fine, but later in their hunger and their thirst, it would start to settle in.
They might feel absent minded or struggle to focus in class, stay awake.
Towards the beginning, it's good, but then as the day goes on, I feel like I lose focus.
Okay, nothing wrong with this so far.
Then it goes into how the school is trying to get everybody to respect and participate in one way or another and make sure everybody feels safe in their hijab and everybody is fine with Ramadan.
You know, and the prayers that are happening in the classroom with the prayer rugs in the classroom, the prayer mats.
Let's see.
One of the 10 teachers signed up to offer a classroom as a food free zone during lunchtime.
The school's director of activities created a sign up sheet for teachers so students who are fasting would not have to sit in the cafeteria and watch their peers eat.
That's nice, right?
It's one of several accommodations arranged by the administration for Muslim students.
The school is also reserved space on campus where students can pray in the afternoon, since one of the five daily prayers falls during the school day.
All right.
This is all nice.
This is all very nice.
It's very nice.
What's the problem with this?
Is anybody making this accommodation for any other religion?
Because I thought it was all about separation of church and state.
You see, it's not.
It's not about separation in church and state because this is mixing the two.
If you buy into that separation of church and state, this is mixing the two.
All right?
So that's kind of a big problem with this.
Why is the accommodation going this way?
And it being all normalized and held up as this is fine.
Because there's another story.
This is from the Washington Post today Muslims shouldn't have to assimilate to belong.
Wow.
Now, I want you to read this article.
We have it, I believe it's in the daily newsletter today.
If not today, it'll be out tomorrow.
But it's a very well argued conservative feeling case for why Muslims shouldn't have to assimilate into our culture.
Or leave things like Sharia law behind.
Okay.
It's argued that this is an electoral opportunity for Republicans because we agree on social issues.
And the message throughout the entire piece in the Washington Post is that Muslims will be more resistant to assimilation than other religious groups because of their commitment to Sharia law and public religious practices.
And Christians, you know.
Don't make them assimilate because you agree with so much.
Really?
Because we don't.
We really don't agree on a lot of things.
This is the sickness that we're all going through.
We want to say we agree on so many things.
We do.
We both wish that our culture didn't over sexualize our daughters and women.
We both wish that.
We both think that.
You know, our girls could stand a little more modesty, perhaps, okay?
But we don't agree that they should wear burqas.
One does.
We don't agree that under Sharia law, a young girl can be married at nine.
In this case, it's because you will read it as a conservative and you go, You know what?
That's a really good case.
We do have an awful lot in common.
And maybe they shouldn't have to.
No, no, no.
This is how it happens, gang.
This is how it happens.
This author is making a case that immigrants shouldn't have to agree on foundational questions when they come here.
Okay, wait, wait.
If you're going to be in America, in America, and you are going to be an American, we want you to make America stronger, right?
So, what do you have to agree with?
Well, you do have to agree with all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with inalienable rights.
So, you have to agree with it if you want to become an American that you agree that everybody has inalienable rights.
That's not under Sharia.
You have to agree that our Constitution is the supreme law of the land.
Not Sharia.
I mean, it is.
It's so crazy.
Our Statue of Liberty says, Give me your tired and your poor.
It doesn't stop there, does it?
What does it say?
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
How many women and girls are yearning to breathe free?
In countries where there is Sharia law, we were told everybody in Afghanistan was fine with it until we went over and toppled it.
And then we realized, oh my gosh, look at all these women that want to go to school, all these girls that want to go to school.
Under Sharia law, they can't.
Look at what's happening in Iran.
Those are women, those are homosexuals, those are human beings, all endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that have lost their rights as a human being.
And they are yearning to breathe free.
You cannot come here and become an American citizen and agree with Sharia law because you're not freeing people.
This is so important.
You don't have to be against Islam.
You do have to be, and I think that is absolutely true for every single person.
If you want to be an American, you do have to be against Sharia law.
If you want Sharia law in any of its forms, out.
You don't get to be a United States citizen.
If you're coming here, you don't get that.
Sorry.
It is a dual, it is a, it creates a dual system of law.
And you want the proof of it?
Look at Europe.
Look at what is happening.
How is it we are so blind to this that we can look over in Europe and we can see Germany can't raise an army?
They can't raise an army.
They don't have enough young men who, A, believe in defending Germany.
But they can't hand weapons to all of these people that are living in their country that believe in Sharia law.
So they don't know what they're going to do.
How is it we can see these things, but somehow or another, we can't see these things?
And we just think that, no, no, no, no.
What Nashville is doing, what WAPO posted today, that's just good political strategy.
That's just being good people.
No, you're not being a good person.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
If you are tolerating something that does to women and homosexuals and minorities the way Sharia law perverts everything that this country has ever stood for in its best times,
the things we say we strive for, anything that perverts those things, if you are standing up for it and you think you're being kind, you're being.
Open minded, you're strengthening our country.
You are dead wrong.
You are dead wrong.
You are betraying everything you claim to believe in.
I urge you to, you know, we put this documentary out.
I had to pay for it, so we had to put it behind a paywall for a long time.
And now it is out and it is free, unedited.
The edited version, I have to be honest with you, unwatchable.
The unedited version, I just put it out at stoptheconquest.com.
You need to get your churches.
You need to get your school boards.
You need to get your Republican clubs, your whoever.
You need to get your friends together.
You need to get your neighborhood together.
And you need to watch this.
Also, at stoptheconquest.com, it's not only the special that gives you the whole primer to today of what's going on.
And it's not opinion.
I want you to understand that.
This is not opinion.
This is all based on documents.
And all of the documents are also up for you to peruse and have and print and share.
All of the documents, all the documents in their own words.
Of what is really going on is all at stoptheconquest.com.
Plus, about another two hours of raw, unedited interviews that didn't make the special.
So, it's a whole kit.
Please, please, we worked four months on this special.
It is so important.
This is something you can do.
You want to save the Republic?
I don't know what I can do.
This you can do.
Get everyone you can to watch this special.
Organize your churches.
You are not.
Being Christ like by tolerating evil.
You're not.
You can love your neighbor.
You can love your Islamic friend and neighbor.
You can.
But if your Islamic friend or neighbor believes in Sharia law and is an Islamist, which means a political Islam follower, you must stand against it.
Otherwise, your daughters will be wearing burqas.
I'm telling you, it will happen perhaps in my lifetime, but it will happen in their lifetime if we don't stand up now.
More in a minute.
Every day, another opportunity to say, What can I do today that actually matters?
When you look around what's happening in the country, especially on the issue of life, it's hard not to see how many hearts and minds have been pointed in the wrong direction.
And preborn is in that fight every single day.
The reason why I like Preborn is they provide ultrasounds that allow a mom to see her baby and hear the heartbeat.
And it's that moment where something shifts, not because she's argued into it, not because she saw a sign or somebody was yelling at her or whatever.
It's just real.
And then they do the Christ like thing.
They stay with her through the pregnancy up to two years after offering support and sharing the gospel.
This month, April, preborn's goal is to have 11,000 babies saved and 11,000 gospel conversations in the preborn network clinics.
Trusting God to bring the increase as they remain faithful just to say what is true.
You can help make that possible.
Would you sponsor an ultrasound?
$28 will provide one ultrasound for one mom.
$140 will sponsor five ultrasounds for moms in crisis.
And every dollar helps save babies and helps share the hope of the gospel.
So donate today.
Pound 250.
Say the keyword baby.
It's pound 250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com slash back.
That's preborn.com slash back.
Sponsored by preborn.
Dividers can call us names.
We just call each other neighbor and friend.
We'll be right back.
You know, in the documentary at StopTheConquest.com, we talk about how the plan is to get people into positions of power, and it's happening everywhere, and it's happening faster than ever.
Hassan Piker Interview 00:03:17
Hassan Piker, he is a Senate Democratic candidate in Michigan.
And I have to say, hats off to CNN and Dana Bash.
Listen to what she was talking about with Hassan Piker.
Listen.
Here's some of what he actually has said about.
The depravity of the October 7 terror attack, the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Quote, it doesn't matter if effing rapes happened on October 7th.
Like, that doesn't change the dynamic for me.
The Palestinian resistance is not perfect.
Now, let that sink in.
Hassan Piker is excusing sexual violence by Hamas terrorists.
He also claims Hamas is, quote, a thousand times better than Israel.
Hamas is a designated terror organization, not just by the U.S., but by the EU.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, just to name a few.
And here's what Piker said about the horrors of September 11th, 2001.
America deserved 9 11, dude.
I'm saying it.
We totally brought it on ourselves, dude.
Holy.
We did.
We did.
Interesting.
By the way, he's not running.
He is actually stumping for Abdul El Said, who is running for the Senate.
But, I mean, You know, is that who you're going to invite up to speak on your behalf?
course remember he's also the candidate that said don't say anything about the killing of the ayatollah America
it's Thursday there's a lot going on I want to talk about the Republicans and the things they're not doing.
But also, there was a story released yesterday about a major leak.
And I thought, oh, we caught the person that leaked all that sensitive information about, you know, what was it?
Delta, Alpha, Bravo.
What was that thing?
What was it?
Dude, 44 Bravo.
That's not what it was.
That's not what it was.
It's interesting.
So I'm wondering what message is being sent here.
But I want to talk to.
Take you down this road here for just a second and so much more.
Major Leak Secrets 00:15:11

Let me first tell you about American financing.
There is a difference between making progress and just staying busy.
And when it comes to your finances, the difference can be hard to see because you're making your payments, you're doing what you're supposed to do.
And on paper, it looks like everything is moving in the right direction, right?
But then you step back and you realize you're not getting ahead.
The balances are still there, the interest is still adding up, and a lot of your money is going towards.
keeping things where they are instead of moving them forward.
That's where American financing can help you change the structure of things.
If you're a homeowner, you may have equity that can be used to pay off high interest debt, consolidate payments, create more room for your monthly budget, so your money is actually working for you.
And the best part is, you're not guessing your way through it.
You're talking to a salary-based mortgage consultant who can walk you through the options and help you see a clear path forward.

You know, somebody said to me, I don't know, in the last six months, and it stuck with me because it's so true.
Most of life is not black and white.
Most of life is not about right and wrong.
And that's where it gets so tough.
Because right and wrong.
It used to be really easy.
You'd be like, hey, should we cut body parts off of young children?
Nope.
Why do you think that's wrong?
Yeah, you don't.
That's the way it used to be.
How did people get there?
They didn't get there by that big choice.
They got there by a choice between right and almost right.
And then they're at the almost right position and they have to make a decision on another question that is right or almost right.
And once you start making the almost right answers for everything, because it's easier, it feels better, or even you think that it is the right thing to do because it's compassionate or whatever, you end up in a place you do not want to be.
And so I want to tell you a story here of right and almost right.
Almost right, and how you can end up in prison quickly.
A woman named Courtney Williams.
She's former army.
She's not some low level paper pusher.
This is somebody who had real access.
Delta Force, a special military unit, officially barely exists in conversation, let alone in the headlines.
These are the go getters.
This is the real deal.
And she had a top secret clearance.
She was years inside that world and then out.
2016, her access gets pulled, internal investigation, something's flagged.
We don't know everything about.
anything at the moment, but we know enough to understand it wasn't a clean and quiet exit.
That's all we know.
Now fast forward.
Years go by.
Somewhere between 2022 and 2024, according to federal prosecutors, she begins talking, ongoing conversations about her time in one of the most secretive units the United States has.
And it wasn't just a little conversation.
It was material that was moved in batches.
10 separate drops, hard drives, stacks of emails, information that investigators believe made its way into published works, into an article, and then into a book.
That's not whistleblower realm, okay?
You're no longer in that realm.
You're now in national defense information territory, and that is a different universe.
If she was a whistleblower, it wouldn't happen that way per se, but you could at least begin to understand.
So she's arrested.
She's charged with illegally transmitting national defense information.
One count is up to 10 years if convicted.
Now, let me tell you the other side.
The right, or is it the almost right?
Because that one was wrong, right?
You don't do that.
That's wrong.
So let me tell you the story from the view of Seth Harp.
He says she's courageous, she's a hero.
He says she exposed discrimination and harassment.
He says the case will fall apart under scrutiny.
And maybe that's what makes this story so uncomfortable to sit with because.
Both things can exist at the same time.
A person can believe they're exposing something wrong and still cross a line that was never theirs to cross.
There is a moment that is buried in the details, you know, that after a book is published, prosecutors say that she send out messages.
She was worried about how much classified information is in it.
She tells her mom she's afraid of being arrested.
Okay.
That tells me you know you crossed the line.
That to me is an emission of guilt.
Then she sends another message.
She says in this one, she's probably going to jail for life for what she released.
You don't say that unless you understand the gravity of what you've done.
You may have started at a place to where you were like, no, this is the right thing to do.
But then you may have started making.
Almost right choices until you get to a place to where you're afraid I'm going to spend the rest of my life in jail.
So now the press would have you believe that we have two competing narratives.
One is a whistleblower exposing rot inside a system, the other, somebody who took secrets that weren't hers to share and handed them over.
I'm here to tell you, I think both of those things can be true at the same time.
Both of them.
You know, I saw her picture today, and she's a beautiful woman.
She looks like she could kill me with a toothpick.
And probably would, but she.
And I looked at her and I thought, she has her whole life ahead of her.
She's still young.
She's, I mean, and now she's going to prison.
And what does she have in front of her now in prison?
And, you know, after reading her story, I don't hate her.
I don't hate her.
I do really despise the person that leaked information about Dude 44 because this is a war.
I do hate others that leak confidential information that is national security.
So I don't like her an awful lot.
But she may have done some things to expose really bad situations in our military, and that was important.
Okay.
But these two things of you're a hero, you're a villain collide all the time.
Let me give you a clearer case because this one, all of the facts are out.
We don't have all the facts of hers.
This happens in the 1970s.
A guy named Christopher Boyce.
He's young.
He's smart.
He works as a defense contractor.
He has access to satellite communication programs.
He is in the realm.
This is, you know, height of Cold War.
Okay.
And he has access to the kind of material that shapes whether nations survive, you know, first contact in a nuclear exchange and he starts reading cables and he sees how the?
U.s is dealing with allies, backroom arrangements, intelligence sharing.
That doesn't match what we're telling the public and something shifts in him I think it would shift in me too.
I start seeing things that our government is doing that are wrong and I think it would shift in me and i'd be like this has to stop.
But what he does is he starts telling himself a story That he has seen the truth and the system isn't what people think it is, and he needs to expose It.
So he finds a friend, Andrew Dalton Lee, and they start.
This is where you go from right to, well, I think wrong, but some might say almost right.
He's exposing these secrets, but he starts selling the secrets, not to journalists.
He's selling them to the Soviet Union directly, dead drops, cash payments, microfilm, all the spy stuff that you've ever seen.
And over time, they hand information that compromises the entire intelligence capability satellite program.
Signals intelligence.
That's the kind of damage that doesn't show up in a headline because it's so much damage, it is echoing for decades inside of classified briefings.
Boyce didn't think of himself as a traitor, at least at first.
He saw himself as correcting a wrong.
Right and almost right.
And then when you're at almost right, you make another one.
It's almost right.
How many almost right decisions do you have to make before you're selling secrets to the Soviet Union and you think you're right?
That's the problem with today's world.
We keep making almost right decisions.
And it puts us in a place where we're like, you're not, you don't even know what's right or wrong anymore because you've made almost right and you don't notice the drift.
He builds this moral framework around his actions that allowed him to live with himself without conflict.
It allowed him to see himself as the hero until the consequences caught up, until people inside the system had to deal with what was lost.
That's the real danger zone when you're talking about military secrets and national secrets.
You're not the cartoon villain who wakes up wanting to betray the country.
That person rarely exists.
Well, maybe now, but.
Rarely exist.
It's the person who convinces themselves that they're justified.
How many people do you know that have convinced themselves that they are justified in calling for violence on the streets or excusing violence or making a defense for somebody who's just stabbed somebody 14 times?
But because they were the oppressed, they came from another country, I've got to stand up for them.
This is how it happens.
You make so many decisions.
To where you make one final decision and then a switch flips and the guardrails are all gone.
And you just start, you just start deciding on your own, you know, what's right, what's wrong.
Cause you know what's right all of a sudden.
And eventually you realize now a jury is going to decide what's right now.
When it comes to classified secrets, people generally don't see the second or third order effects.
You don't see the sources who dry up or the operations that get burned.
I'll bet you the person that was talking to the reporter had talked to the reporter so many times in the past and had given little pieces of information.
It was almost right.
I'm not going to expose everything.
I'm not going to tell you anything important.
But I'm going to make honest, you know, I'm going to just make the almost right decision here.
And they just kept doing it.
And they didn't think they were doing anything bad.
They didn't think I'm going to help the Iranians get this guy.
They didn't do that.
They didn't do that.
They just no longer knew what right or wrong was anymore because they had compromised themselves long ago.
I'll bet you that's what we're going to find out.
And you let something go like that and you could have gotten him and a hundred other people killed.
One detail, one photo, one passing reference that will connect.
Dots from somebody on the other side of the world, and they'll go, Wait a minute, that's an American spy.
You know, espionage doesn't look like people in trench coats.
You know, it looks more like a conversation, it looks more like a text message, a file transfer that was justified at the moment.
I'm doing the right thing.
And then it's there.
That's why the system is rigid about all of this.
That's why the penalties need to be very severe.
It's not about punishing speech, it's not about punishing the reporter.
I think this woman, and obviously they've been building a case for a long time, but I think it may be purely coincidental, but I doubt it's coincidental.
I think it's to send a message that they are releasing this as publicly as they did yesterday because they want to send a message to everybody.
You start leaking information when we're at war, and you will go to jail.
You know, once certain information leaves a box, you cannot put it back.
I hope we find justice for this person.
And I feel bad that she did probably did some good things to expose things that should have been.
But I'm sorry.
You have to pay a price.
Top secret means something.
And you know what?
If you really believe in something, you should be willing to take the consequence.
This is worth it.
I believe what I'm doing is so right.
It is worth going to jail.
Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jesus.
I'm doing these things that are right.
And if you need to put me in jail, then put me in jail.
I'll live with that.
The people needed to know.
To me, that's where I have sympathy for you.
You're still going to jail, but I have more sympathy for you.
I did it because I believed it was right.
And that's fine.
I'll take the consequence because the people needed to know.
That's when I have sympathy.
But I still say to prison, maximum time.
Back in just a minute.
Path Through Life 00:14:16
Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
I mean, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, kind of my job.
I was going to say sometimes, but really it's all the time.
Here goes Some of the biggest mobile companies in the country have decided they're just not providing a service.
They're taking positions, they're funding causes, and they're using your money.
My gosh, we are being robbed all the time.
We think we're paying our taxes.
Nope, looks like we're just sending our money off to left wing causes all the time through our government because of corruption.
You know, you look at these companies, these mobile phone companies, and they're funding all kinds of stuff you would never fund.
Get out of that.
Put your money where your heart is.
Patriot Mobile gives you another option.
You'll get the exact same coverage on all three major networks, along with 100% based customer service support, a plan that will fit you, that will actually fit you and your family, and you'll save money.
But the real difference is where the money goes after you pay your bill, because Patriot Mobile supports you and is a company that is supporting and defending the values you believe in, not undermine them.
That turns it into something.
Extraordinary.
Something that matters.

Let me take Nick.
Hello, Nick.
Welcome.
Hello.
Hi, Nick.
Hello.
How are you?
I am good.
How are you?
Great.
Welcome to the program.
How can I help you?
I'm just curious.
I'm wondering how someone my age can be 24?
I've listened to you since I was the one.
But how does someone my age achieve the American dream that my grandparents and parents had in this day and age?
And is it even possible?
You're talking to the wrong guy.
If you're expecting me to give another answer other than yes, it's possible because I am the first to go to college and I only went one semester.
That's all I could afford.
Nobody in my family has ever amounted to a hill of beans.
And I mean, I've gone way back in our genealogy.
I took something that should have been absolutely impossible to do and I've done it and I have built companies and have become very successful.
So you're not talking to a guy who.
Don't believe in the American dream.
It gets harder and harder.
My ability to do what I've done with my particular belief system has made it damn near impossible.
But I've done it and I've kicked myself out of the system that everybody said you had to play by, you have to work in this system.
And I'm like, no, I'll create my own.
You have more opportunity today to create something yourself than. anyone has ever had in the history of humankind.
You have the ability, if you have a dream, if you have an idea, and you're willing to do whatever it takes to get there, ethically speaking, do whatever it takes to do it.
I am convinced anyone can accomplish anything.
It is going to get harder.
And at your age and at my age now, you have to stay nimble.
I was talking to somebody who was, gosh, what?
What was he?
He was in, I can't remember.
He was in some steady job and had been in that job for 20 years.
And he was maybe 45.
And oh, he was working as an x ray guy at the hospital.
And I said, How long have you been doing this?
And he said, You really want to know?
And I said, I don't know.
Do I?
And he said, Three months.
And I said, What?
He said, I used to do this, but there's no future in that.
I've got to retool.
And I think medicine and helping people is the only thing that is really going to last.
So, you have to stay nimble, Nick, and master everything you possibly can.
My answer to you is yes, you have a very, very bright future ahead of you.
But you got to be smart and you got to be dedicated.
All right, Rough Greens.
Your dog has absolutely no idea what you're feeding them, they don't read labels.
Good thing, because, oh, gosh, can you imagine if your dog was like your wife?
You know, your wife takes the stuff off the shelf and she's reading the back of the label and you're like, what?
Just, I like it.
Let's just eat it.
I'm more like the dog.
But anyway, good thing they don't read labels.
We just put stuff in their bowl and they just eat it, you know?
And it's pretty good.
Pretty good.
You think you're doing good because you probably buy good dog food.
I mean, you care about your dog.
But the stuff in kibble food, it's all been cooked out.
All of the good stuff.
It's so heavily processed.
All the good stuff, the nutrients, the vitamins, the minerals, the probiotics.
There's nothing live in that food anymore.
You have to add that back.
And that's where Rough Greens comes in.
It's not a dog food.
It's an additive.
You just put a scoop of it on top of your dog's food.
They love it.
I swear to you, it's like dog crack to them.
They love it.
They wolf it down.
And you will see a difference in your dog.
It's amazing.
It's Rough Greens.

Get the real truth about political Islam that YouTube forces to censor.
to stop the conquest calm and watch it i'm really bummed that we um i didn't have more time to talk to nick uh on the phone who asked questions
You know, I'm 24 years old.
Nick, call me tomorrow.
I'd like to talk to you some more.
24 years old, can I still be successful in America?
And my answer is yeah, you absolutely can.
But it requires a different mindset entirely, especially with AI coming.
It's going to be difficult, challenging, but everything has been.
Everything.
My whole life has been challenging.
You know, think about the people who were farmers that.
You know, there was no electricity.
There was, you know, and then all of a sudden everybody moves into the cities and there's refrigeration and everything.
Think about how they're just, their whole life, their whole cities collapsed.
They had to adjust and they did.
And it's, my dad used to say, life is nothing but a series of adjustments.
You either adjust or you go nuts.
He went nuts in the end.
No, I'm kidding.
But it's true.
And I'm listening to Jason talking to the insiders right after, you know, we went into the break.
And Jason does a show within the show.
When I go into commercials, he's usually talking about other things and getting to facts and details that I just didn't get a chance to get to.
And he started talking about, you know, how he's the American success story.
And I was listening to you, Jason.
I'm like, you know, I think you're right.
I think you, I mean, you are another great example of, you know, I have a reason to be, you know, you didn't set out to do something like this and all of us, you know, and you like, But you didn't even see your success come.
I did, but you didn't even see your success coming, did you?
No, I didn't describe it as me being the actual success story, but I guess you could look at it that way.
I feel like everything that I've done, my life and my mom, as she's listening to this, is going to be cracking up because everything in my life has been one crazy impulsive mistake after the next massive risk, learning the hard way.
But I never would have any of those things.
Wait, wait, wait.
Can I tell you something?
I think that's what is the difference between people who have big success and no success or a little success.
Your tolerance for risk.
I am somebody, I'll put every chip on the table.
If I believe something's right and I pray about it and I feel it, I'll put every chip on the table.
And that's risk big, win big.
Risk big, lose big.
Know the odds before you put your chips down on the table.
But if you want to win big, you've got to risk big.
Anyway, go ahead.
It's very true.
And when I was discussing what Nick, what I would say to Nick is what I would have said to my children is you have to start very, very early.
A lot earlier than I did when you're looking at what you want to do in your life.
But even through that, through working, working very hard, even at a young age, younger than I had to, constantly making mistakes, constantly falling, constantly picking yourself back up.
But beyond everything else, constant prayer to God and telling Him, just put me in that place where I can best serve you.
I'm going to do what I can, but I'm not asking for wealth.
I'm not asking for success.
Just put me with the people.
In the location to where I can best serve you.
Glenn, I will testify to you right now.
I would not be here today on your team.
I would not have found my way to you.
I know in my heart and soul if I would not have had that prayer twice a day, every single day.
And it does open up doors to you that you never would have thought would have happened.
That's got to be part of your path through life.
When you're looking at success, when you're looking at the American dream, that's the pathway to the American dream.
But I will tell you this, Jason, let me use you as an example.
You know, you just said you got to start really early.
My children don't know exactly what they want to do.
You know, you're in high school, you're in college, even you may not know what you want to do.
That's all right.
But whatever you're doing, do it the best you possibly can and learn it.
Don't take anything as I remember the time my life really changed.
I was an alcoholic.
I was an egomaniac.
I had been running all of these stations and I find myself.
You know, on the outs, and I'm now at the station, and I have to answer to everybody.
And this guy knows I'm an egomaniac, and I had been praying for humility Lord, give me humility.
Give me humility.
Well, Lord will answer that one like with rockets.
And so I'm this new guy comes in, and he is now the boss of me, and he's like, I want you to do what they're called dubs, the lowest rung of the ladder of radio.
And I'm 35, and I'm like, what?
And I laughed so angry.
And then it dawned on me, oh my gosh, this is what I've been praying for.
And I went in the next day, drove him out of his mind because he thought I wasn't being serious, but I was.
I said, thank you.
I am going to be the best dubber anyone's ever had.
Okay.
And I really took it seriously.
And that was the day my life changed.
My career changed.
And if you do this with whatever, you will not believe how many doors will open.
If you are always focused on whatever it is you're doing, even if you despise it, you will open so many doors.
And then you may not walk through that door, but because that door is open, that may be something that leads you someplace else.
And you never know it.
You never noticed.
Mike Rowe, who I love, and you know that.
I love him too.
He said he's famous for giving this career advice to follow opportunity, not your passion.
Yes.
But be passionate about the opportunity you're given, and more doors will open.
I've seen that to be true since I was 20 years old.
You don't realize that everybody's looking for a specific door to open.
But I have to tell you, I wanted to be successful in radio and I knew exactly how I was going to get there.
And that led me nowhere.
Okay.
Led me to mid success and then eventually alcoholism and everything else.
When I let go and I'm like, I don't care.
I'll just go through the door that you want me to go through.
Success came so rapidly because I'm no longer in control of it.
I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do at this time and I'm doing it really well.
And I'll tell you, Jason, you know this.
You've been with me.
And how many conversations?
Because you worked with me on security for a while.
You were my body man.
And that's how we really got to know each other.
And how many conversations did you hear me have with people?
And we would walk away and I'd go, well, there's a millionaire that's never going to make a dime.
Yeah.
You remember that?
Yeah.
I would meet so many people that would be so stuck on, I'm doing it, I'm doing it my way, and it's going to happen this way.
But I'm not going to do this and this and this.
The minute you start putting limits on the universe, it's not going to happen.
It's not going to happen.
Once you say it's my way, it's not going to happen.
You have to be so open and so willing to do whatever it takes.
I mean, in an ethical way, do whatever it takes.
If that's what you want, if that's what you want.
I mean, I can testify Glenn Beck wasn't my passion, but he gave me the opportunity.
And now he's my passion.
Ethical Accommodation 00:09:26
Way.
Wow.
Isn't that sweet?
Isn't that sweet?
Remind me.
HR tomorrow.
Remind me about that.
Let me go to Vanessa in Tennessee because she says her kid goes to Overton High School.
We were just talking about this high school in Tennessee just about an hour ago.
And she has some insight, obviously, about Overton High School.
Hi, Vanessa.
How are you?
Hi, good.
Thanks for taking my call.
So, did the story we tell get it right?
Is the story right that we read?
Yeah, I think so.
I think that I definitely know that Overton has done all those accommodations.
For the Muslim students and for Ramadan.
Now, do they do that for other faiths?
Yes, I would say that I think they do.
I don't think, I wouldn't say that I know what a Christian.
Practice would be that would quite be the equivalent.
Do they have a Christmas concert or is it a winter concert?
We do have, well, our winter concert is often in January, but they do do a holiday concert where they'll do Christmas songs.
They also have done.
Hymns during the spring concert, played like not Christmas songs, but straight hymns.
We partner with a lot of churches that come in and do stuff.
They also have a lot of like Christian Athletes Association and Young Life and groups like that on campus.
Good.
I would say they also do like group prayer.
Christian prayer.
We just had a student tragically lose his life, and they've had lots of space for kids to meet and pray and have Christian counselors come in and other counselors, I'm sure.
But I mean, there are certainly lots of.
Sorry.
It to me sounds like Overton High School is at least trying to do it right.
And that's fantastic to hear.
Fantastic to hear.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, there's definitely problems at the school.
But in that regard, I think they are pretty open to trying to accommodate other things.
Like I said, I don't know.
There were a lot of kids who fasted for Lent.
We have a large Hispanic population with lots of Catholic people and other Christians who do Lent.
But most of those kids, it's not a timed fast, it's a restrictive fast.
What foods you restrict.
So, right.
Okay.
Well, good.
Ricky is looking at me.
Hang on just a second.
Yeah, because I didn't hear about that in the newspaper.
I didn't hear about that either.
Right.
Like they were bragging about all of the accommodations that were made for Muslim students, including, you know, changing the bell schedule.
I just don't remember reading about that for the Jews or the Christians in the Nashville newspaper.
That's all.
Why do you suppose that is, Vanessa?
What newspaper was it out of?
Look it up.
Murky will look it up here real quick.
Yeah, she'll look it up real quick.
Nashville Banner.
Yeah, that's a pretty liberal newspaper.
So it doesn't surprise me that they would put out an article like that.
But it'd be interesting to see anybody who is not a left winging, you know, kind of to do a balance story on Overton.
I'd love to see somebody in Nashville look at all of it and say, no, no, no, this is the way it is.
It'd be interesting.
I don't know what news source in Nashville is not liberal.
They're all very liberal, which is unfortunate.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Vanessa, thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
Just watch yourself.
There is a.
You know, I don't know if you've seen the special yet on the blueprint of our own demise here that's coming from the Islamist movement.
But, you know, people who are Muslim, fine.
People who are Islamist, political Islam, that believe in Sharia law, and that is the real danger.
And it is everywhere, everywhere.
And it is infiltrating everything.
You should watch the special at where do we have it?
StopTheconquest.com and share that because it will open your eyes.
And it is really important because there is a very highly organized, very well thought out plan to infiltrate our schools, our universities, our government, et cetera, et cetera, and come in using our own compassion and welcoming attitude.
And it's good.
You don't want to lose that, but you also don't want to be a dupe.
So please check it out stoptheconquest.com.
Tried to watch it and you watched it on YouTube with all of the edits that we had to make because of YouTube.
It was unwatchable.
I watched it the other day and I'm like, we can't.
This is awful.
So I'm just putting it for free up at stoptheconquest.com.
Stoptheconquest.com.
It is so vital.
You get this to people on your PTA, you get this to your school boards, you get this to everybody you know, your friends, watch it as groups, get it to your churches.
It's free.
All of the information is there at stoptheconquest.com.
There is a difference between something that.
You know, stops you and something that just wears you down.
And most pain isn't the kind that drops you to the floor.
It's the kind that follows you.
It's there when you wake up.
It's still there when you sit down.
It's there when you get back up again.
And, you know, by the end of the day, you haven't been stopped.
You've just worn out.
It all adds up because it changes your pace.
It changes your focus.
It changes how you are really able to put things into perspective and do the things you care about.
That's what makes Relief Factor so different.
It was developed by doctors who focus on inflammation and they created a daily drug free supplement that is designed to work with your body.
It helps your body respond differently.
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds have gone on to take more month after month.
I'm one of them.
I've been on it for, I don't know, maybe five years.
If you've been listening to me talk about Relief Factor for a while, maybe this is your moment.
If you're already taking it, you're getting the enhanced formula designed to work even smarter.
They're still doing research on it to make it better and better all the time.
Get the quick start.
Try it out for yourself.

Too many people have forgotten that we're not enemies.
We're Americans.
Glenn Beck returns in a moment.
I want to take Nikki in Colorado.
Wants to address Nick, the 24-year-old caller that said, can I make it in America?
We have less than two minutes, Nikki.
Go ahead.
Okay, quick and fast.
Hello, Glenn.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Earn more, spend less.
Get a part time job and a full time job.
Then you can't be outspending because you're out earning.
And the advice of take whatever opportunity knocks is good too.
Yeah.
Bank, save.
Unfortunately, in this day and age of interest, they can't see the benefit of compounding, but it doesn't matter.
Even if money loses value, if you have money in the bank instead of goods in your house, you're ahead of the game.
Nikki, thank you for your call.
I will tell you, inflation can change that a little bit, but it's exactly the same advice that I have said to my kids.
They have made some money, and I don't care if it's $100, put it in the bank.
That will compound by the time you're my age.
You have the opportunity to, you know, especially if you put it in a stock market and then leave it there.
Just leave it there.
You're 20 years old, leave it there.
Go check it, you know, when you're 60.
And it will, it could make a huge impact in your life.
Again, some restrictions do apply.
Inflation is a problem.
