Glenn Reveals Trump's Chess Board for a New Golden Age | Guest: Rebecca Perrotto | 4/16/26

Glenn Beck and Rebecca Perrotto analyze President Trump's 2026 strategy to dismantle post-WWII systems via six pillars: energy dominance, NATO financial reform, Western Hemisphere security, military restoration, Chinese declawing, and space economy control. They expose a coordinated Iranian propaganda network utilizing over 75 far-left groups like UNAC to stage domestic protests, citing leaked call records between activists and Press TV. While discussing TMZ's Capitol Hill infiltration and Jared Isaacman's aid for cancer patient Liv Parado, Beck confirms Trump orchestrated a historic 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, signaling a potential new American golden age against globalist resets.

Breaking News and Hearing Loss 00:03:07
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.

Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
I have some good news and I have some tough news.
It's not bad news, it's just tough news.
We'll get to that here in a second.
But a lot of progress seems to be being made in the Middle East.
There's breaking news now, a couple of things.
Lebanese TV is now displaying the flags of Israel and Lebanon.
Tough News from the Middle East 00:02:04
This is unprecedented.
Behind the anchor, you have now the Israeli flag and the Lebanese flag.
They're talking about Peace and breaking news just a few minutes ago.
Israeli officials are now telling Fox News they believe direct talks may lead to Lebanon joining the Abraham Accords.
I can't begin to tell you how game changing this would be, but I will tell you about it coming up in just a few minutes.
Also, I want to talk to you about the price of everything in your life and how it is going to go up for a while.
But if we look at what is happening and we look at the game that is now being played, Can we hold on?
That's the real key.
Does the American people have the stomach to make game changing moves?
We'll talk about that in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Super Sure.
Most business owners don't wake up one day and decide to build a complicated insurance situation.
That's just what happens.
You know, you add a policy here, you pick another one there, somebody recommends something before you know it, you've got coverage, but no clarity on it at all.
You know, you don't know exactly what you're covered for, what you might be exposed on.
What happens if something goes wrong?
You don't want to be digging through the files or calling different people trying to piece together an answer.
SuperSure is a brand new business that is fantastic.

Their system is built to be simple and clear.

The 21st Century Financing Plan 00:14:43
Okay, so this war has caused a lot of problems, but there are also other problems with the economy.
You know, a lot of people are like, when is this going to get better?
And I understand.
And a lot of people were expecting that Donald Trump could turn it around like he did in 2016.
But a lot of damage was done beginning in 2020, even 2019, with the Great Reset and COVID.
You know, it changed your life.
COVID changed all of our lives.
It changed our family, it changed everything, changed our culture, everything it changed.
And it really affected our economy.
Now, I want to give you some tough news.
First, it looks like farmers are really struggling to be able to get fertilizer because fertilizer has gone way up in price.
You know, it's all petrochemicals and fertilizer.
You know, when petrochemicals, when you have a problem with oil, you have a problem with fertilizer.
And it looks like, what are the numbers here?
Uh,.
Looks like 20 and 40 percent rise in cost in fertilizer now.
And a lot of farmers are saying, I don't know how I can even afford that.
We also have cattle prices that are going through the roof.
Why?
Because we now have fewer cattle in America than we had in 1950.
We have, think of that, we had fewer cattle.
We have 2.2 million head in March.
That's down from 2.5 million.
That's going to be a real problem.
U.S. population in 1950 was half the size that it is now.
And we have the smallest herd since 1950.
Cattle prices, beef prices are going to become very, very expensive.
And that has nothing to do with fertilizer or anything else, except the cows are going to cost more money to feed them alfalfa or whatever.
You're going to use fertilizer.
To be able to grow all of their food for next winter.
So costs are going to go up on that.
Yesterday, the White House had a message to all of the CEOs from the oil companies pump more oil.
Pump more oil.
Okay.
America has a choice right now.
And it's going to be a tough choice.
And I fear I know which choice we're going to make because it's human nature.
And it's human nature if we don't have somebody articulating what is happening.
And this would require the president to articulate the grand vision and say, look, this is where we're going.
This is what JFK did with the moonshot.
It's really FDR.
This is what he did with the New Deal, which really made things much worse, but that's a different story.
It takes somebody to say, we're going here.
This is going to be a tough journey, but this is where we're going.
Okay?
In 20 years from now, we are going to be listening to people say one of two things.
That was the moment.
It was probably 2026 that was the moment that America didn't turn the corner.
It just all began to fall apart right there.
Or they're going to say 2026 probably was the year where it all started to come together and they turned the corner.
And that's how they survived.
But we are at that corner.
Make no mistake.
And that corner is either going to be turned or not.
And if it's not turned, it will be because if it fails in 25 years, we are no longer here or we're so diminished that it's no longer really the United States as we know it.
It'll be because of one of two things.
Either Donald Trump is wildly wrong or.
We just couldn't get past the fact that the pain to get to where we need to go is going to take time and it's going to be tough to weather.
But I think there is a plan right now, and you are seeing it in action that actually saves us.
This is why I'm so optimistic because we never had anybody.
Remember, I kept saying, I've said for years, where is the guy who's got the big vision?
Where's the guy who's going to point to the moon and say, we're going there?
We have it.
He's just not pointing to it.
He's just not doing a good job of articulating the big plan.
You kind of have to put it together yourself.
Now, I could be wrong in putting this together.
If I'm wrong on this and it works, Then he's just the luckiest man ever because he's got all the pieces.
And I just don't believe he's not seeing this as a grand unifying theory.
So let me give you this grand unifying theory because we are looking at the most dramatic and possibly peaceful power shift in modern history.
Everything is interconnected.
And Americans aren't looking at that.
And I think, and I, well, I know this part is true because I asked Donald Trump this probably 60 or 80 days into his.
Into his term, I said, You looked at the post World War II world and you said, None of this works, didn't you?
And you're redesigning all of it.
And he said, Yes, yes.
So imagine, let's start there.
A president looks at everything that we had built since 1945, all of the systems that we all know are broken, and he says, None of this stuff works.
And so I'm going to dismantle it and change it because, you know, we're funding the world's defense, we're fighting everybody else's war.
You know, we're subsidizing our own decline.
And Donald Trump is stepping in and going, yeah, we're not going to do that anymore.
Okay.
If this is right, he is building something historic.
He is building a new American economic empire.
And here's how he's doing it energy dominance, hemisphere security, technical supremacy, a military that is like no military.
I mean, I'm actually afraid of our military in a good way.
But if it goes dark, it could be a very bad way.
I mean, I've never seen anything like it.
A reborn manufacturing heartland.
This is an economy that is not being reborn, but reimagined for the 21st century.
And one that, let's not kid ourselves, is not going to pay down our debt.
But the strategy would be to grow the economy to the point to where the debt is less of a problem, still be a problem.
But I'm not sure that that even works.
But if he is right, it does prevent the collapse of the American dollar on so many fronts.
If this war ends, Without spreading.
And this theory that I'm going to lay out for you, these six things, if this is what it is, it will all have been done without the kind of global war that has defined the 20th century.
This is America reclaiming its golden age, just smarter, stronger, and sovereign.
So let me take a one minute break, and then I'm going to come back and I'm going to show you the board, and I'm going to show you the six things that are happening right now that people need to put together in their head and then choose.
Do you believe this is what's happening?
And if you do believe, what do we have to do to make sure that this happens?
Because I do believe this is our last chance at saving America.
All right, American financing is our sponsor.
Most Americans don't have a spending problem, they have a structure problem.
Because if you look at where your money is actually going every month, a lot of it isn't even going to what you bought, it's going to what it costs you to borrow the money, especially in high interest credit cards, payments that barely move the balance, money that just kind of disappears.
And after a while, you start feeling like You know, I'm doing all the right things, but nothing's changing in my life.
And he starts to get hopeless.
That's because you're in a system that isn't built to help you get ahead.
It's built to keep you where you are.
But American financing can help flip that around.
If you're a homeowner, you may have equity that can be used to pay off that high interest debt and restructure things in a way that actually works for you.
So instead of your money going to interest, it starts working for you again.

10 seconds, station ID.
So, if I were in the White House, I would go take my chalkboard into the Oval Office and I would say, let me show you the board.
Let me show you the strategy here.
First, let's start with energy dominance because without energy, we can't do anything.
It's the foundation of everything.
Trump, in his first term, made us a net exporter.
Never before in human history or American history had that happened.
Then, in the second term, he unleashed it record production, deregulation, National Energy Dominance Council, the LNG exports all exploding.
Why is this important to put first?
Because energy is leverage, and energy we must have if we're going to be dominant.
When we crippled Iran's oil exports and we seized control of Venezuela's massive reserves, we took Maduro in Operation, what did he call that one, Absolute Resolve, and then we put American companies in charge of that.
Do you notice the world didn't scramble to the Mideast and that chaos?
They began to come to us.
Argentina's fields align under our umbrella.
And Europe, Europe's now one of our biggest buyers.
Hundreds of billions in deals for American oil and gas, replacing the Russian supplies.
Now that this is happening over in the Strait of Hormuz and that becomes so unstable, you can track it.
You can watch the ships and track them.
They are making U turns in oceans and turning around and coming to American ports instead of going to the Middle East.
The world is buying American energy.
In ways that we've never seen before, Russia and China are losing their pricing power.
So we become the undisputed energy superpower of the 21st century without the Middle East quagmire, if this works.
That freedom lets us walk away from being the globe's babysitter.
When Donald Trump says, I'm not going to get you into wars, that's what he means.
We have to pull out.
We can't just leave the world the way it was because we depend on them for too much for oil and everything else.
We can't create a vacuum.
We've got to create some framework to keep that stable and we pull out.
And then we become the stable place to be able to buy, have the world buy our energy.
Second, with ending the World War II burden and forging real peace through strength, okay?
For 80 years, we carried NATO and the Middle East on our backs.
Trump came in the first term and said, pay up.
And they started to.
NATO allies put, what, 5% of their GDP in defense spending.
Never happened before.
Now, Europe is only stepping up because in the second term, he's made it crystal clear.
We're going to defend our hemisphere, you defend yours.
And in the Middle East, first term, Abraham Accords.
That was the beginning.
In the second term, he's built the Council of Peace.
Now, this is a new body turning former enemies into partners at the table Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE.
They are now more Israel friendly than Great Britain ever has been.
And when we and Israel struck the nuclear program and the regime, did you notice they stayed on our side?
Every nation is playing its role in its own security.
It was Bahrain that went to the UN Security Council to ask permission to use force against Iran, not America, not Israel, Bahrain.
Now, America is sitting at the head of the table, but we're not carrying the load alone.
And the hundreds of billions that once were flowing overseas now stay at home.
We could pay down the debt.
We could build factories.
It's powering the future if this works.
The third thing is the hemisphere first strategy.
This is his 21st century Don Rowe doctrine, if that's what they're calling it.
All of this stuff looked random at first.
Greenland, everybody's like, what is he doing?
Well, first, he was securing rare earth minerals.
And in the second term, he secured those from all over the world, taking those minerals from China, breaking China's monopoly, and then locking in a new Arctic sea lane for the future of global trade.
Nobody's talking about that.
Then he forced the EU to take a stand.
When they denied us airspace during the Iran operation, we found out who our real allies are.
Which makes the Greenland case even more obvious, even to Europe itself.
They're like, oh boy, we're screwed.
Panama Canal, what was that all about?
Securing Minerals Against Globalists 00:15:56
To eject the Chinese influence.
Cuba, what's that about?
We're squeezing them now.
Pentagon said yesterday, be ready.
We're starting to prepare for things in Cuba.
That's getting Russia, Chinese, and all the Marxist lifelines out of a place 90 miles from our shore.
And Venezuela, Maduro is gone.
Terror networks are being dismantled.
Gangs defunded.
Oil now flowing under our umbrella.
That is a death blow.
To whom?
To BRICS.
BRICS, Russia, China, Brazil.
All BRICS wanted to have a, they wanted to challenge the petrodollar.
Well, without Iran and without Venezuela, they can't do it.
I mean, this is really genius if this is the plan.
It's genius.
Russia and China are kicked out of our hemisphere.
I mean, that's what this is all about.
Our resources, shipping lanes, borders secure.
No more rivals building bases in our hemisphere.
And then you have the military restoration.
This is the fourth thing.
And I would also add the quiet revolution in space that nobody's talking about.
Do you remember just what, four years ago, how humiliated we were with the Afghani withdrawal?
The world was laughing at our hollowed out force and we had guys in dresses.
Trump has completely turned that around in 18 months and built it into the most respected and feared military, I think I can safely say, ever on planet Earth.
Precision, strength, and peace through overwhelming power.
Then you add this, which nobody is putting into place the Kennedy Space Center.
Why should we go to the moon?
Because the coast of Florida is going to be the world's spaceport.
No one is really talking about the master plan of what's happening in space.
If you go into the show prep today, you're going to find all these stories about how important.
Space is becoming with just what China is doing to help Iran with satellites.
I'm going to tell you if I have time today about a space war that is actually going on.
I mean, it's like Star Wars up in space right now, but the moonshot is critical.
Record launches, master plans, on track to dominate the moon and the space economy.
If you don't understand the space economy, read up on it because this is.
This is like AI.
It's an entirely new world, okay?
New industries, new wealth, new American leadership in the final frontier.
Now, how does this relate to you?
Well, I've got two other points and I'll bring it all together to you.
If this theory is right, how this saves America and the choice that we have to make right now, we'll cover that in a minute.
Stand by.
All right, I want to remind you of something.
You still live in a country where you are allowed to do business as you please.
You get to choose who you support, where your money goes, and what kind of companies you want to be associated with.
How long does that last?
I don't know.
But it is true right now.
And that makes those decisions a lot more important than people realize because every time you pay a bill, you're not just buying a service, you're backing a company.
Whether you mean to or not, you are.
That's why Patriot Mobile still matters.
They're not just another wireless company.
For more than 12 years, they stood behind.
The same exact values that you and I believe in and support liberty, religious freedom, freedom of speech, the military, all of these things.
These are all causes to defend, and you don't want to give up anything.
Make the right choice.
You're still getting premium priority access on all three major networks, plans that will fit your life, 100% US based customer support.
You're going to save money, and you're also going to support the things you believe in.

Cancer tried to steal her daughter's space streams, but Elon Musk and Jared Isaacman gave them back.
Read this glenbeck.com exclusive and grab a tissue.
You'll need it.
We need somebody to outline the big vision, and I don't see anybody doing it.
So let me just tell you what I think is going on six steps to what's going on, because you can't just say, you know, we got to get out of Europe and then not have a plan to do that.
Otherwise, it's just everything craves.
We got to get out of the Middle East.
Well, you can't just leave a vacuum there.
We got to fix our oil.
Well, you can't just fix the oil because, as you see, when other places of the world start to have problems, our prices go up as well because it's a global market.
We've got to beat China to AI.
We've got to beat China in space.
We've got to fix our manufacturing.
You can't do all of these things until you've ripped all of the wires out of what we had, what was built, and what was wrong.
We all know the system that we had doesn't work.
So, first, energy dominance.
I just laid this out just a minute ago.
Second, ending the post World War II burden of peace through strength, meaning we pay for everything, we're the strong ones, and they get the peace.
Third, control this hemisphere.
Fourth, restore the military.
And boy, have we done that.
Now, five, declawing China without getting into a war.
That's a big one.
How do you beat China?
Because their plan is 2027 or 2028 to be dominant.
How do you declaw them without getting into a war?
Well, tariffs, tech controls, reshoring our factories, getting control of the rare earth minerals.
All of these things have been done, and America yawns.
Plus, the $18 trillion of investment for our industrial base.
Even if only half of that comes through, that's $9 trillion to build factories here in America.
And then you're not going to build them tomorrow.
Okay.
All of this takes time.
That's the frustrating part.
America first AI, tied to cheap, abundant American energy.
So we surge way ahead of them in the real arms race of this century, AI.
While China is getting starved of markets and minerals, manufacturing boom here at home, but it takes time.
Debt could get paid down, but we're not going to.
Our plan will be to grow our way out of weakness.
Six.
This is the one that people are not going to understand for 10 years.
I don't think anybody's going to understand any of these.
If these things work, I don't think any of us are going to understand them.
One day you'll wake up and you'll start to hear people on TV going, you know, Trump was actually really quite smart.
He's been dismantling the globalist machine.
The globalist machine was engineered to manage our decline and eventual collapse.
All of this wiring was put into this engine to be a governor on it, to keep it down, keep it down, and manage the decline so it would fall into a new system that they were building.
So, in the first term, he takes the economy because it's not as governed as it is now, and he brings it so it's roaring back.
Then comes COVID, the perfect crisis for the World Economic Forum's great reset.
They waited for that.
I mean, I think they planned that actually.
But that was not organic growth again.
That was controlled demolition of the American markets and the system that we all have.
Open borders, endless regulations, green new deals, hollowing out of our industry, a deliberate weakening of American sovereignty so the elites could build the world in the way they wanted to do.
Biden's policies just poured gas.
Gasoline on that fire, and quite honestly, nearly nailed our economic coffin shut.
Trump, thank God he didn't win in 2020 because he watched and he learned.
He has nearly collapsed the WEF's entire agenda, but he hasn't killed it.
All of these people are waiting to see what happens in the next two elections.
He's building this new American empire, and he has to simultaneously neutralize the globalist forces that don't want us to be sovereign, don't want us to be dominant.
That's why fixing the economy is slower this time.
The American economy is a V12 or a V16 underneath that hood.
Man, that thing just cooks.
When it's right, it cooks.
Well, it had been so governed and destroyed by the globalist agenda, it was running on three cylinders, and everything else in this thing is almost shot.
So he has to rebuild the engine, rip out all of the old wiring, all of the stuff that they broke or intentionally put in there to slow it down to keep us.
dependent and not dependent and not declining.
I'm telling you, if this is true, this is huge.
And the problem is the biggest battle is with us.
Because if you don't see this vision, you don't know where we are, and you won't understand how critical it is to keep the power that we have, to secure the House and the Senate and the White House.
You have to.
And you have to do it even if Congress does nothing.
Honestly, even if they do nothing, you have to keep this going for the next term.
Otherwise, I mean, long term institutions, all entrenched bureaucracies, the globalist networks, the NGOs, the legacy media, they're all just holding on until 2028, praying that the plan stalls.
Okay?
If we lose now, the old schemes come raging back with a vengeance.
This is the final play.
That's why I said at the beginning of the hour in 20 years, 10 years, historians are going to look back and say, that was the moment America turned the corner, or that was the moment it died.
If you don't do any of the stuff that he's doing now, the big, huge structural changes globally, you can't fix the economy.
If you're not willing to do that, all he has to do is just he has a few levers that he can play with to get us to rev up a little bit.
But it's not going to last.
You've got to do these big, huge things.
And then comes the economy.
That's just my view.
I could be completely wrong, completely wrong.
But we have to be crystal clear.
I mean, I could be black billed and say, this is all just chaos.
I don't think it is.
When you step back and look at it, it's too orchestrated.
It's too.
It all would fall in our favor if it works.
So it's like saying, yeah, humans, we just climbed out of.
Out of the premortal slime.
You can believe that.
I just don't think that makes any sense.
Energy powers AI and factories.
Hemispheric security protects our supply chains.
The Middle East and NATO pullbacks free our budget and our boys.
The Council of Peace proves a new model, shared responsibility.
By the way, I haven't had a chance to tell you about what's happening with Lebanon.
On Lebanese television today, For the first time, there is a Lebanon flag and an Israeli flag behind the anchor.
And Israel is now telling Fox News this morning that the negotiations that are going, not only for peace, but they may end in the Abraham Accords.
You get them into the Abraham Accords, all bets are off, everything changes.
It proves, to me at least, that part of this is right.
You have Greenland and space securing the future.
You have the war against the globalist reset to ensure that none of this gets reversed.
Every single move this guy has made connects if you look at it from a bigger point of view.
So, 25 years from now, was it chaos?
Maybe.
Did we finish this?
Maybe.
But I think they're going to look back if he's successful and say, you know what?
He played the long game.
He ended America's era of the world sucker.
He took the great reset.
He built an economic empire that rivals our greatest golden age energy, AI dominant, military supreme, hemispheric security, financial independence.
You don't fight wars.
You know, we're not paying their bills.
We don't have to worry about taking some World Economic Forum's orders.
We lead, we win, we thrive.
The moves might look scattered, but if I'm correct, this is vision.
This is what vision.
We haven't seen vision like this.
I've never seen this in my lifetime.
This is vision, if I'm correct.
And it is a long term play.
The question is, Well, it is honestly the question the world's asking itself right now on the war.
Does America have the stomach for it?
Iran doesn't think you have the stomach to withstand more economic pressure for very long.
And if that's true and we get to the next election and nobody has articulated this vision, but if we get to the next election and people see the vision and they go, hmm, no, I want cheaper gas.
Instead of being able to say, look, this ensures your children.
Do you want your children to do better than you're doing now?
Are you willing to sacrifice now so your children have a chance of freedom?
Because that's what this is about.
Americans, when they get it, when they see the vision, they will make the long term call I will sacrifice now so my children don't have to suffer.
Sacrifice for Future Freedom 00:02:21
That's what this moment is all about.
This moment right now is.
Will you pay attention to the Islamist invasion of the Western world to save the Western world?
Will you do the hard thing right now and be uncomfortable for pointing it out so your children don't have to be in the streets fighting those who want to behead them?
Yeah, I will be a pariah today for that.
And I urge you to join me.
Will you pay higher gas prices today if this vision is correct?
I tell you, it could be wrong.
I could be wrong.
I don't think I am, but I could be.
If this vision is correct, are you willing to pay higher prices for a little while longer to be able to secure freedom for your children?
I am, but I don't know if the rest of America is.
You have to decide.
We'll put this monologue out so you can read it.
and think about it and add to it, argue about it.
But I'm telling you, there's too many things that fall into place where we're the winner.
Remember when everything Joe Biden did, we ended up being the loser on?
And I'm like, come on, guys, it can't be a coincidence.
You can't be that unlucky.
This is the opposite of that.
Everybody's saying these moves are all erratic and everything else.
You can't be this lucky.
Because if it works, everything falls into America, it is dominant, and our children have a future.
Wow, if that's chaos, that's the most lucky group of people on the planet.
All right, more in just a minute.
You know, there's a certain kind of home project that sounds like a good idea right until the point you're actually doing it.
Cleaning out your gutters is one of those because, in your head, it's quick.
You know, you go, you grab a ladder, you get some leaves out, you're done.
In real life, that's not the way it works.
You're balancing up there, you're digging out wet debris, trying to get the water flowing again, and the whole time, you know.
Chaos, Luck, and Home Projects 00:07:52
It's going to be back.
I'm going to be doing this again.
So, it's not the real problem.
The problem is not the job, it's the cycle.
So, what breaks that cycle?
Leaf filter breaks that cycle.
It keeps leaves and debris out while letting water flow so your gutters can actually do their job without having to climb up there and fix them over and over again.
So, instead of adding another project to your list, you can cross it off for good.

It feels like every conversation about weight loss eventually turns to injections these days.
I mean, you've probably heard about all that by now.
There are a lot of commercials pretty much running around the clock.
These results can be dramatic, but for a lot of people, giving themselves a shot every week is suboptimal, along with the potential side effects.
It's not something that's really appealing to a lot of people.
It's one thing, of course, people do want to lose weight, but do you really want to go that far?
Do you really want to use that?
Do you want to stick a needle in yourself to make that happen?
Some people love that.
Some people are real needle fiends, but most aren't, I would say.
So, the real question comes to you when you say, like, well, how, if I want to keep losing weight, if I want to start losing weight, if I want to maintain weight loss, would I take a different approach?
And that's where lean comes in.

All right, Jason, I want to go to you because you are hands on with the, so to speak, with the insiders.
And the insiders are commenting on what I've just laid out.
Give me the arguments against or, you know, what are the big pushbacks on it?
So I guess the two major pushbacks would be first, the stamina of the American public being able to make this change.
So if this is what's happening, this is the grand strategy on the chessboard.
Does the American public have the stamina to go through a change like this?
Because many of them are saying, We've been pampered for so long, we don't know how as a people to get through this.
The answer to that is no, unless someone can tell this story to the American people in a compelling way, and not me, in the White House.
If the president can't lay this case out, they won't do it.
It has to be explained to them, shown how it all fits together, because I'm missing a.
Ton of pieces.
I know I am.
This is just me last night just kind of putting stuff together.
So we don't have the stamina.
Even if he lays it out, I'm not sure we do.
The biggest obstacle will be us and propaganda coming from outside the country.
Those are the two things to worry about the most, for me at least.
The second one would be of the pushback wouldn't it be better to nail down the domestic things that have to get fixed before anything else, like SAVAC?
To things like that.
So, yes, it would.
Save Act would be good.
Putting some people in jail would be good.
You're going to see JD Vance start to go after some of the corruption.
Those things would be really good.
I don't know why we're not doing those things at the same time, but the economy cannot truly be fixed.
And that's the one that everybody's pressure is pressure point is the economy.
It cannot truly be fixed until you fix these big things.
It just can't.
You have to fix these big things.
So, I would love to see people start to go to jail.
I mean, we're going to talk.
TMZ is maybe going to Washington, or they are going to Washington, D.C.
And what does that mean?
It could mean something really, really good.
Could be horrible, but could be something really, really good because we can chew gum and walk at the same time.
But you have to see the big picture.
This fundamental structure has to be changed.
All right.

today i feel like the narrator of the american story as it's happening today um because Because I see this, I see the news of the day as a story that has never stopped playing out.
I talked to Data Republican yesterday, did an interview with her.
Propaganda in Every Newspaper 00:06:52
She is deaf and mute, and so it's hard to do a broadcast interview with her.
So we taped it, and you'll hear the voice of the translator.
But I spent, oh gosh, 45 minutes with her yesterday talking about something that she has just revealed that is not getting enough attention.
And then yesterday, Liz Wheeler tweeted something about a podcaster and what he was tweeting about how the Muslims love Jesus.
And it actually came from the mullahs or the prime minister of Iran.
And.
I don't want to comment on that one because it doesn't, I mean, it didn't, it's not a good look, but you can't prove anything that there's anything going on there.
But you certainly can with Data Republican.
She has found a direct link to the Iranian officials coordinating with American institutions to do propaganda in America.
And I want to start by telling you the American story of propaganda.
I'm going to tell you two stories.
One, How this happened before in World War II and nobody understood it.
And then how it is happening now.
Then Data is going to come on and she will give you all the facts and figures and show you how she figured this out and where all the bodies are buried.
It's fascinating.
We'll do that and begin in 60 seconds.
First, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
Imagine what it is like being a Jew in Israel right now.
You wake up before anything else, there's an awareness in the back of your mind that things can change quickly.
That a siren could go off at any moment, and you have seconds to find shelter.
You go about your day.
You take care of your family.
You pray for your family while they are in school.
But you do the normal things that life requires, but none of it is completely normal because there's that uncertainty that just doesn't ever go away.
When something does happen, when the sirens sound, when the threats become real, you can't ignore it.
You just step back, process it, live through it, do the best.
Right now, this is a real problem.
A lot of people, it'd be nice to have some.
Friends that understand this, and that's where the Christians and the Jews in America, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, are stepping up.
They're on the ground providing food, medical care, support to people who are living through this every single day.

Okay.
I want you to just.
Put yourself back into 1938.
Imagine that you are an American editor, a professor, a concerned citizen in New York City.
And you try to stay informed.
And every couple of weeks, a crisp white envelope arrives in your mailbox from the German Library of Information on Fifth Avenue.
There's no swastikas and they're not screaming Hitler headlines.
It's a really nice pamphlet.
A bi weekly bulletin called Facts in Review, just about the facts.
The tone is really, really calm, it's scholarly, and it's reasonable.
And it explains that the Treaty of Versailles was a crime against the German people.
It's crushing debts, stolen territory, humiliation of pride, and it shows maps of suffering minorities in Poland and Czechoslovakia.
And it presents charts on the German economic miracle under its new leader, Adolf Hitler, and again, again, It talks about how this leader only seeks peace with honor, protection against communism, fair correction of the past injustices.
That's all he wants.
Now, across town, there is another quiet service that is humming along.
And they're disconnected, you think.
You don't know.
It's the Trans Ocean News.
This one is a competitor of AP and the United Press International.
It feeds short, urgent dispatches to American newspapers, low cost, or even free.
And major papers run the copy every day.
And it will be under the headline of Berlin by Wireless.
And it'll be right beside Reuters and AP and the United Press International.
So, readers open up their paper every day and they get the same narrative.
Germany is the injured party.
Another war would be a tragedy forced on a reasonable nation.
The genius is that you never are asked to love the regime, they just simply ask you to see things the way Germany sees them.
And for a while, it works really well, almost too well.
Isolationist voices in Congress begin to quote the facts.
Prominent citizens pass the pamphlets along.
It's already in the newspapers.
And polls start to show overwhelming American reluctance to get involved in Europe.
So when Hitler seizes the rest of Czechoslovakia, people shrug.
Oh, well, it's okay.
Because the library had already explained it as necessary.
And all those people that were getting those white envelopes and reading their newspapers see it that way now because that was coming from Germany.
So, when war breaks out in September 1939, the same voices argue against helping Britain and France.
The public never, never once suspects that the hand that writes the script was Adolf Hitler.
The words didn't come the way he would speak, it was all in the language of fairness and facts.
And by the time the accent, if you will, is noticed after Pearl Harbor, after the raids on the library and the exposure of trans ocean services, The seeds of doubt had already been planted in millions of minds.
So, for precious months while Europe burned, hesitation nearly cost the West everything.
This is the quiet power of propaganda when the public never realizes it's coming from the enemy.
And I warn you, I've done this for 50 years.
I have seen propaganda from some countries, even our country.
I have seen propaganda from corporations, et cetera, et cetera.
Enemy Influence Under the Surface 00:15:09
I have never seen anything like this.
And it is all over our social media.
And I believe it has embedded itself into some of the voices that we have all learned to grow and trust.
Now, how, let me give you a specific example.
This is where Data Republican comes in.
Let me tell you exactly how this has happened and what piqued her interest and went, wait a minute, something's not right here.
In the streets of New York, in Washington Square Park, on college campuses all across America, the same exact strategy is playing out, updated now for the digital age, but identical in its cunning.
So, for a minute, just picture a small vigil for the Iranian regime.
It's happening in New York.
A handful of activists gather.
A Jewish rapper named Kosha Dills approaches with signs highlighting the regime's slaughter of its own people.
Well, the organizers swarm him, they tackle him, they beat him bloody until he is arrested alongside one of his attackers.
The event is tiny.
You probably didn't even notice it.
But the footage now is everywhere.
And behind this lies a documented pipeline now, revealed by Data Republican.
She went through leaked internal records from Iran's state broadcaster, Press TV.
Researchers found hundreds of direct communications between Tehran's propagandists and the organizers here in America staging the events.
One senior American figure alone got 83 phone calls from the Iranian TV.
Now, they will say, well, we were setting up or I was doing things on their TV program.
But that doesn't make sense.
The calls were coming before there were events.
And then after the event, then somebody would come on.
Then that person would come on television.
Okay?
This is coordination.
More than 75 organizations here in the U.S. have mobilized protest backing Iran's position.
Almost all of them are far left Marxist, socialist, others aligned with Islamic causes, the Red Green Alliance.
They operate through familiar activist networks.
Sometimes funded by the same pipelines that have supported other radical causes.
When data is going to go into this in a second, when you hear the names, you're going to recognize all of them.
And to the people who are on the ground, to the people who are just useful idiots, they show up at these things because they think this is organic and homegrown rallies and it's moral outrage against the U.S. policy.
And they carry the signs and they chant for peace.
They believe they're standing for justice.
And the ordinary American watching the news, it looks genuine.
Okay, it's domestic dissent, students, professors, community voices saying, not in our name.
But what's really happening?
Back in Iran, the state television is running the footage on endless loops.
Crowds now in Tehran see Americans marching under Iranian flags.
They hear chants echoing the regime's talking points and they draw the conclusion that the mullahs want them to draw.
Even the great Satan's own people are turning against their government.
The world is standing with them, not with us.
We're alone again.
This cycle is deliberate.
US organizers are appearing on press TV after these events, but the calls are coming in before the events.
Then the Iranian TV reposts all of these clips, state TV.
They time their actions to Tehran's narrative needs.
Iranian media then beams the results, you know, the resulting protests worldwide.
They launder foreign propaganda in the appearance of American consensus, and nobody knows.
It doesn't need to flip the policy.
It only needs to sow doubt and exhaust support for confrontation and convince the Iranian public that resistance is futile because the Americans are no longer with them.
They're with the regime.
This is exactly what happened with the German library and Trans Ocean.
They made Hitler's demands sound reasonable.
Iran's machine today.
Makes the regime's survival sound like a global moral crusade, but it is not.
Remember the monsters that these people are.
The regime is not the people.
The regime is keeping the people down.
They are throwing homosexuals off rooftops.
The public on both sides of the ocean, they are not expecting that the enemy is writing the script.
Stop being so naive.
These rallies are not American.
It might feel that way.
It might look authentic.
The hesitation in Washington feels organic.
But once you have the receipts, which Jada Republican is going to give us in a few minutes, once you have the call logs and the funding trails and the synchronized timing, that's when everything begins to crack and shatter.
And you're like, oh my gosh, look at this.
You know that picture of Donald Trump, you know, that he said he was a doctor.
I don't know if he thought he was a doctor, if he thought he was Jesus.
I don't know.
I don't really care.
I really believe it's propaganda.
I really believe it was propaganda.
I would not be surprised if that image was created by somebody outside the country.
I'm not saying it was, probably could have been done by a supporter of his.
I don't know.
But that's exactly the guy, you know, that came out.
Donald Trump said what he said.
And then, who came out against that?
Who was the leading voice that was out before our podcasters?
It was the prime minister of Iran saying, Muslims love Jesus.
And I can't believe he would do that.
He is blaspheming Jesus.
And then all of the Christians here are like, he is blaspheming Jesus.
But that started there.
And one podcaster, you got to listen to Liz Wheeler from.
I think it was yesterday she did something on this, and it was really, really good.
She's like, Look, this person is a friend of mine that said this.
I'm not trying to throw them under the bus.
I'm just saying there's something wrong here.
There's something really, really wrong.
And there is.
It's called propaganda.
This is the way it works.
America, whether you recognize this or not, we are at a global war right now.
It's just not being fought the way you think it's being fought.
It's being fought without the bombs and the bullets here, without the planes flying into the buildings.
Because they know that will wake you up.
Well, you gotta wake up.
We are in a war and propaganda.
Do not argue about things online right now.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
There are people that are funding everything on all sides.
They don't care what side you're on.
They don't.
They will.
Russia did this in 2016.
They were funding both sides.
They were funding both Hillary and Donald Trump.
And it was extreme because they needed us at each other's throat.
That's what's happening again.
And history is screaming at us.
Propaganda doesn't need to conquer hearts and minds outright.
It doesn't.
It only needs to dress the enemy's voice in your voice, in the voice of the street, in your values, in your outrage.
And by the time you notice the accent, the damage is already done.
We've already hesitated.
We've already lost.
And they are smiling.
And the cycle repeats until you will learn to ask one urgent question Who originated this?
Who's really behind the megaphone on this?
Give me a couple of minutes.
We're going to come back in 60 seconds.
And then Data Republican is going to join us because she tracked this.
She will prove that it is true.
Liz Wheeler yesterday threw out some breadcrumbs that I don't know if they're true, but she was asking real, honest, decent questions that somebody should follow up on.
And maybe Data can follow up on because something's not right.
Something is not right.
And I've told you this isn't just Iran.
This is Russia as well.
This is China.
China has data centers that are just running bots like crazy to get us to argue.
You have in Russia the same kind of stuff, and you have Alexander Dugan who has embedded himself into our own media, into our churches.
When you hear, I heard somebody yesterday and I'm like, oh my gosh, that is Alexander Dugan.
It is like right from Alexander Dugan.
I talked about it on yesterday's program.
I can't remember who it was, but it was somebody on the left, and it was Alexander Dugan.
Warning stop arguing with each other, stop consuming all of the hatred, stop consuming all of the stuff that is tearing us apart, stop consuming the conspiracy theories, at least for a while.
We are in grave danger right now.
Data Republican joins me in a minute first.
One minute.
Patriot supply.
My Patriot supply.
You learn a lot of things where they're headed by paying attention to what's happening just under the surface.
Everybody's watching the big story overseas right now, but back here at home, some quieter signals are starting to line up.
You have job losses starting to show up, more people falling behind on credit card and car payments.
Energy costs are working their way into everything.
And so the question becomes if things are already this tight, because you can't control the economy.
What do you do?
You can control yourself.
Are you prepared for whatever might happen?
God forbid any of this happens.
I don't want any of this to happen.
But please, please, you have to be a blessing to other people.

So, I want to take you one other place before we get to data.
And I'm just looking for it.
Ricky, the All Birds story.
Can you just quickly tell the All Birds story?
I can't find the story.
Yes.
This was the weirdest thing.
Every morning I look at the trends to see what is most important to normal people.
And for some reason, All Birds was a story.
It's a shoe company that went out of business and sold its company and then rebranded.
As an AI company and stock went soaring.
And it's like, what?
How did a shoe company become an successful AI company overnight?
So, this is a warning.
I was just telling you about my Patriot Supply.
Please, please, this is a warning.
I have not said that AI is a sham at all because I don't believe it is, but that is pets.com.
That is a warning sign if I've ever seen one that it's way overvalued.
If a shoe company Can overnight rebrand as an AI company and they go through the roof, that's trouble.
All right, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.
Data Republican joins me in just a minute.
I'm the kind of guy that likes to do business on a handshake.
It's just how I live my life.
I mean, there are contracts in life, but I like a handshake deal.
But it only works if you really trust the person you're dealing with.
And not that they're a good person, but also you got to trust that they're actually competent as well.
And that is why I wanted to.
I wanted to see in the real estate market, can we find these people?
Because I have to tell you, this is the biggest financial decision you're ever going to make in your life.
And I have done it over and over again, and I never seem to come out on top.
And it's because I don't know how to find a good real estate agent.
So I don't know, 10, 15 years ago, my brother and I started working with the 500 best real estate agents, according to the Wall Street Journal.
And I learned from them, and we started looking for more of these people that have the same ideas and the same.
Ethics.
And I'm telling you, these are the best people.
We've vetted all of them.
All you have to do if you're looking to buy or sell your home right now, just go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

So, I, before I bring on Data, I did about a 45 minute interview with her yesterday.
Coordinated Foreign Agent Pipeline 00:10:28
Data Republican, she is deaf and mute and absolutely brilliant.
And she was working, you know, with Silicon Valley and then she got out and she started paying attention to politics.
I think it was actually, could have been Elon Musk and what he was going through that I think kind of really got her really going.
But she is somebody who just is a dog with a bone.
She will not let it go.
And she has been digging on, on, Iranian propaganda and it is everywhere.
And I wouldn't give you an example of this.
In fact, we play it for the torch video and blaze video.
This is from the Iranian state.
And it is that picture of Donald Trump that he said, I thought I was a Red Cross guy.
And Jesus comes floating in from behind him.
And then hits him so hard, it looks like he almost rips his head off, and blood is everywhere.
And then Trump falls into hell.
That's from Iran.
If you are retweeting this, like, yeah, you are employed by Iran.
Understand that.
I just said, I think this whole thing is coming, is propaganda.
I think this whole thing, I'd be interested to see where the original picture came.
Because I think it's propaganda.
I really do.
And it played right into their hands.
And now everybody is like, I don't think he loves Jesus.
Oh my gosh.
You have to understand, we are playing a very dangerous game with people who are trying to rip us apart from each other and trying to convince us of what is not true.
Now, let me go into Data Republican.
Yesterday, I spent about 45 minutes.
All of this will be up on glenbeck.comslash torch, the entire interview, so you can hear all of it.
But I wanted to give you just a few minutes of Data Republican going through how she found and what she found on this propaganda machine that is so well financed and coordinated that proves the red-green alignment.
All of this information needs to go right directly to the White House and to Treasury.
This is Farah at the least.
This is a state operator using resources knowingly, using resources here in America.
And those resources knowingly are doing propaganda work here in America.
Listen, Data, welcome.
I'm so glad that you're here.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You have been doing such incredible work.
Uh, lately i've been talking about the time that we're in right now.
I've never seen propaganda, um as effective and as deep as it's happening right now, and you have uh, in one of your threads, shown how the Iranian i'm sorry yeah, the Iranian influence is happening here.
Can we start at the vigil um, you know, for Kameni and explain what happened and what you found?
Yeah, of course.
So On March 6th of this year, Ayatollah Khomeini, he just had died under the joint US and Israel bombardments.
And within days, a network of US based activist groups organized a public vigil for him in Washington Square Park in New York City.
So a Jewish rapper named Kosha Dills showed up as a counter protester and he was beaten absolutely bloody.
And the organizers put out a statement afterward explicitly endorsing physical violence against counter protesters and promising more.
Now, what made this significant was who actually organized it.
When you pull the thread on who put that vigil together, you find the Bronx Anti War Coalition, which is a member of an organization of the United National Anti War Coalition, which itself is a Marxist Leninist organization.
And the same people who organized this vigil. Have documented years long relationships with the Iran state media, which is called Press TV.
And that Press TV is sanctioned by OFAC, OFAC, which is our own Treasury Department.
So, what the Kosha Dills beating revealed was a pipeline, an influence pipeline that converts the Iranian regime narratives into American street action.
And then Feeds that street action back to Iranian state media so they can broadcast it worldwide as evidence of a quote, grassroots American dissent.
Iran got exactly what it wanted from a couple dozen activists.
So, do we know who the senior U.S. organizer is that got the 83 calls and that spike that you showed online from Iran's press TV?
And And what do the leaked records show that they were coordinating?
Yeah, yeah.
The leaked press TV call detail records show that Joe Lombardo, the national coordinator of UNAC, which is the United National Anti War Coalition, received 83 direct calls from press TV over a 29 month period.
That's from 2019 to the year 2022.
And that's not a journalist calling a source once in a while.
That's a sustained relationship, like roughly one call a week.
And Lombardo is not the only one.
Sarah Flounders, who is on the UNAC Administrative Committee, received 36 calls as well.
Margaret Flowers, another UNAC Director of Popular Resistance, received 31 calls.
John Parker from the Workers' World Party got 57 calls.
And Cheryl Labash, a former WWP National Coordinator, got 52 calls.
Now, There's a critical finding from the NCRI's analysis.
The number of calls that these individuals received far exceeds what you would expect from on air appearances alone.
These are not booking calls.
And when you overlay the timing, it's the timing that's important.
When you overlay the timing of these calls against the protest data, the call spikes consistently precede protest surges by about a month.
So you see that a spike in press TV outreach.
And then a month later, you see a spike in Iran and Palestine related street protests.
So, wouldn't this be a Farah violation?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Because you have them showing up in the call logs.
Right.
Yes.
So the NRC, NCRI, sorry, assesses, and I think that they're right, with high confidence that some organizers are acting as foreign agents on behalf of the Iranian regime.
Without appropriate registration under FARA, the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Right.
So FARA requires any person, as you know, like for other countries, right?
Right.
So they register with the Department of Justice.
Because they are acting as a foreign agent, really.
They are coordinating with a foreign government we are at war with.
You say in the report, 260 plus contacts with UNAC, the Workers' World Party in 29 months.
Do you have any proof that this is a coordinated influence pipeline other than just it doesn't seem like routine journalism?
Yeah.
So there's three reasons.
First, it's a concentration thing.
Press TV is contacting people all over the United States, they have thousands.
Of outbound calls in this data set, but the contacts are not evenly distributed.
They're overwhelmingly concentrated within one small, tightly interconnected cluster UNAC, the Workers' World Party, and their affiliated organizations.
And this is the single most heavily targeted cluster in the entire leaked data set by a wide margin.
So, second, it's, I mean, I can continue to explain because, second, it's a volume.
These individuals appear on press TV for a number of times, but the number of calls they receive dwarf the number of appearances.
And third, this is the one that really matters the temporal ordering.
Across multiple surges in activity, the call spikes come before the protest surges, not after.
If press TV were simply covering protests reactively, like journalists do, you'd expect the calls to come during or after protest events.
Instead, the outreach intensifies in advance of mobilization cycles consistently across multiple years.
So if you put those three things together concentration, access volume, and temporal lead, and what you have is an OFAC sanctioned Foreign state media outlet maintaining a sustained operational relationship with specific U.S. activist network that then produces protests aligned with the Iranian regime.
Tomorrow at glenbeck.comslash torch, you'll get the full interview with Data Republican.
I wanted to get this to you as soon as we had it because I think it's critical information.
I am very concerned about propaganda.
I warn, It's almost everywhere, it's ubiquitous, and you don't really know or understand it.

I barely do.
It is everywhere.
Warning on this.
All right.
Next, we're going to take a couple of phone calls and some comments from you if you're a torch viewer.
But I also want to tease that coming up next hour, there's a story that I found quite by accident while I was watching Artemis go up.
I was at the launch and I'm meeting all these people who are involved in the space program, they're all around me.
And then there's this couple behind me.
And they're not involved in the space program at all.
And it was kind of like, well, you're not a journalist and you're not involved in the space.
How did you get here?
And they told me the most remarkable story.
It is one of the most beautiful stories that you have never heard.
I came back, my staff went to work.
It's a story that is out now at glenbeck.com.
But I have this woman here to tell you a story that you will never, ever forget.
I mean, it will make you look at the world in a different way and people in the world in a different way.
It really will.
Such a beautiful story that's coming up in just about 15 minutes.
Stand by.
First, let me tell you about Super Shore.
You know what a great read is?
Insurance policies.
I mean, I just can't get enough of them, you know.
Honestly, I'd rather poke my eyes out, you know, take my eyes out, maybe with a spoon than sort through any of that stuff.
But you need to know what's in your insurance policy.
If you run a business, you're like, I don't know what I'm covered.
What's covered?
I don't know.
I think I'm covered.
That's not a great position to be in if something goes wrong.
That's why SuperSure exists to help bring all of your business insurance into one place, one team that works year round with you.
So you're not trying to piece together, you know, all of the answers to find out, you know, what is covered?

Glenn Beck, back in a moment.
I want to take a quick phone call.
Dan in Idaho.
Hello, Dan.
Hello, Glenn.
I'm just listening to your first hour.
And my biggest take from that is how many more times do we just need to take one for the team?
Just hold on, and it's all going to be better.
Oh, I don't think you take one for the team.
In what regard?
Well, just what's going on with prices and fuel and everything else?
Yeah.
So prices and fuel, hang on.
Well, let's separate.
Because prices and fuel, if you want to fix the nation, you are going to have to take one for the team.
If you believe what I laid out in hour number one is accurate, which I think it is, but I could be wrong, but that's going to take some time.
However, there are other things that we could do that would relieve a lot of stress.
And one of those things is corruption.
I'll bet you at least a third of what we spend is all corrupt.
That needs to be choked out right now.
Right now.
Because you could take a third of that, give that money and give it back to the American people every year.
Do you know how much relief that would be?
That has to be done.
That can be done right now.
Does that make sense to you, Dan?
I don't know if they're going to make it to next year.
What did you say?
I said, I've got kids that are farming, and I don't know if they're going to make it to next year.
Because not only the sugar prices went to crap this year, They absorb that and how they're going to try just to keep going what they've got.
But then the diesel and the fertilizer hits.
What are my kids supposed to do?
Why the Somalians are just sashaying out of our country with hundreds of millions of dollars.
California is doing the same thing.
I know.
And I will bet you, you're in Idaho.
I'll bet you some of it is happening in Idaho.
I think it's happening in every state in the union.
No, it is.
Maybe bigger in other states.
That has to be fixed, Dan.
Because that's the real problem.
I know you, if you're a farmer, I know you know that.
I know my guess is that you would say, I will sacrifice now for my kids later.
And you have done that.
And you've been promised that you're sacrificing for the future, and the future just keeps getting dimmer and dimmer and dimmer for our kids.
This, if what I laid out in arrow number one is actually happening, that is a real solution for our children's future.
And We would have to bite the bullet a little bit on that, but you cannot ask the American people to bite the bullet if you are still giving money away overseas to all these programs, even NATO, but also Somalis and everybody else who are just bilking the American people.
That's the one thing Donald Trump could stop right now, and he is working towards it.
I think that's what the vice president is doing.
Um, but they should focus on that domestically because that would take.
And give a lot of relief to the American people.
And people would start to feel like hey, my government is actually serving me and doing something for me, the little guy.
I have
the honor of sharing one of the most incredible stories that I have heard, and I ran into it by accident and It's a story nobody knows, and it's a story that everyone should know.
I'm gonna share it with you here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor Z Factor.
If somebody you know has a lot of trouble sleeping at night, here's an irritating thought for you Eric Swalwell probably sleeps like a baby.
I bet he's out a minute after his head hits the pillow.
It's probably really annoying to prostitutes, but anyway.
He can do that because he has no conscience.
A Dream Come True Story 00:09:48
You, you, you probably need something like Z Factor because your brain won't shut off.
For most people, the problem isn't just falling asleep, it's that your mind keeps going and your body doesn't fully settle down and you end up stuck in that half awake, half asleep kind of feeling.
You know, you should be sleeping, but you're not.
You know that feeling?
This is where Z Factor comes in.
It's a sleep supplement from the makers of Relief Factor designed to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and sleep deeper.
Do what your body is actually supposed to do at night rest and recover.
You finally get that kind of sleep.
You'll feel it the next day.
This is why you need Z Factor.
Right now, save up to 46% on your first order.
Either that or just start sleeping with prostitutes.
One of the two.
Maybe if you could get rid of your conscience, that'll change.
It'd be like Eric Swalwell.

I am at the Artemis Lounge.
And I am surrounded by people who work in the space program that actually build all of the things for the launch, for the space capsule and the rockets and everything else.
And I'm fascinated by them.
I start talking to some of the people, and then I notice this couple sitting right behind me husband and wife.
And I start talking to them, and I realize they're not part of NASA, they're not part of the program, they're not.
And this is a section where you have to be, you know, somebody who, you know, you have to be a journalist like me, or you have to be somebody who actually worked on the program and got an invitation to be there.
And I said, so how did you get here?
And they started telling me a story that was as impressive as the rocket going off itself.
Their daughter Liv was 15 years old.
She died of cancer just a few months ago.
But I'll tell you, that 15 year old lived more of a life than most of us could ever dream of.
And that is in part due to the new NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman, and Elon Musk.
This is a story that neither of them, this has gone on for years, neither of them.
Would tell you.
This is a story.
They didn't do it for the credit, and I didn't ask for permission to tell.
I asked Liv's mom to tell the story.
Her mom wanted the world to know what they did and what it meant to Liv and her family.
So I asked, I said, can we please tell this story?
And she said yes.
And she gave us the privilege of publishing an article that she wrote telling her daughter's story.
You can find it right now at glenbeck.com.
You can read the whole story.
You see pictures and videos that'll just break your heart and then heal it right back up.
That's what's so great.
This is not a heartbreaking story.
I mean, it is, but then it is a beautiful story.
Before I bring her mom, Rebecca, Let me just give you a condensed version of the story that I heard.
Liv was born in 2010 in Pennsylvania, and she lived the dream of being a fighter pilot and an astronaut with SpaceX.
And she was obsessed with all things space anime, she was obsessed with as well.
And she had, you know, dogs and cats, loved it, and her sister Abby.
That was her whole life.
When she was 10, her mom saw that her jaw was swollen and.
Thought she needed some antibiotics.
Well, that's when the family found out that Liv had a very rare and very aggressive cancer called undifferentiated sarcoma.
The entire family's life just turned upside down.
And they struggled to keep things normal for both their daughters.
And Liv had to do chemo, radiation, surgeries, clinical trials.
It was a really dark time.
Until she heard about a SpaceX mission, Liv did, called Inspiration 4.
This one was commanded by a guy that most people didn't know at the time named Jared Isaacman.
The crew of Inspiration 4 heard about this little girl with cancer, and Jared Isaacman paid to bring her and her family to the launch.
Now, Jared is independently wealthy.
He's worked hard, he's an entrepreneur, worked hard.
He is a genius at me.
He's one of those people.
You know, like our founders had Jefferson and Ben Franklin, we have Jared and we have Elon Musk.
I mean, it's the same kind of thing we haven't seen in 250 years.
But he paid for her to come out, and this was the beginning of just a life changing relationship.
And Jared, it wasn't just a one and done thing, he became committed to her care and to her dreams.
Without anyone knowing, without anyone asking, much to the family's surprise, this guy just threw himself in.
And he asked her to design what's called a zero G indicator for the Polaris Dawn mission.
He was the commander of that.
And she sketched out this little stuffed animal that looked like Elon Musk's dog and named him Asteroid.
And when Polaris hit zero G, asteroids started to float.
It was a dream come true for her.
She was in space.
But nobody on that mission forgot about this little girl in Pennsylvania.
They sent her a birthday cake on her birthday.
They sent flowers to the hospital.
They all got together on a Zoom call just days before she died.
Jared chartered his own plane to fly, live cross country so she could get treatments.
Personally, he called St. Jude's to review her case.
He took her up in a fighter jet, which he flew.
She was able to meet Charlie Duke, one of the last astronauts to walk on the moon.
She met him in Antarctica.
William Shatner, she met.
Later, she met Victor Glover.
The whole space world opened its arms to this little girl, somebody you've never heard of.
And they didn't do it for the press, they just did it because her passion was contagious.
So full of love.
And the space world was her world, not hospitals.
She didn't let cancer stop her from looking up at the sky ever.
Her biggest dream was to speak to Elon Musk.
The night they found out that her cancer had come roaring back, she stood in line to ask Elon when he would send kids into space.
When Elon heard her condition was worsening, he said that he would call her that night out of the blue.
He heard, I think, on social media.
I'm calling.
I'm calling you to night.
He called.
said, can you ask him to call?
Can you ask him to call tomorrow?
I'm really tired.
He agreed.
He immediately sent flowers and a note to the hospital.
Beyond Expectations at the Hospital 00:09:42
Just before they arrived, she passed away.
It's a remarkable story.
Both the notes and the flowers.
We're put in this little girl's casket.
I have the notes that she had written down the questions she wanted to ask Elon.
We'll get to that here in a second, but I want to introduce you to her mom.
Can you give me 60 seconds to compose myself, do a commercial real quick?
And we come back with her mom.
Because this is the beginning of the story.
It's just such a beautiful story.
There is a company out there that recently confirmed a breach affecting more than 3.4 million people.

And when I heard this story and I saw that no one, no, everyone, everyone was involved in just loving on this little girl.
And nobody had this been going on and nobody was, the word had not gotten out.
It wasn't anywhere.
Nobody knows this.
Cynicism.
I really thought her story should be shared, and her mother is with me, Rebecca Parado.
Rebecca, how are you?
Good.
Thanks for sharing this story, Glenn.
You're welcome.
What did I get wrong, or what needs to be told?
What do you think needs to be said that I missed about her story?
I think you captured her pretty well.
She was a fighter, but she always loved space.
And that was the one thing that kept her going.
Jared, the crew, they always gave her something to continue to look forward to.
And she actually, it took almost two and a half years for asteroids to finally make it to space.
And so during that whole period of time, they continued to keep her.
Close and keep her connected, and Zoom calls and birthday gifts.
And you know, she was sick in the hospital, they just kept her close and didn't forget about her, and really meant a lot to her.
How surprised were you about that?
I mean, these are really, really busy people.
Um, and you know, you do things and you can absolutely mean it and touch base and be there for an occasion and do something special, but then.
You don't do what these two guys did.
I mean, how shocking was that to you?
We're probably still shocked that, you know, we're still so close to Jared and all of the people, even from Inspiration 4 crew, the Polaris crew, you know, to Jared's assistants.
They all stayed in contact and stayed close and have been a huge supporter for Liv.
And our entire family.
And we've been, I've told them we're grateful times, you know, a million times.
And I think that they just do it and don't even think about that.
I have to tell you, when I talked to you at NASA, I just didn't think of the three letters of your daughter's name, L I V. And the whole time we were talking, and I'm telling her story, and I'm thinking, what an appropriate name, as this is, her story will live.
It will live on beyond her.
The things that she did are going to live way beyond her years.
Tell me the story about the little zero G.
And I'm so mad.
Your husband gave me one and I have it in my studio in Florida and I'm up at another studio and so I don't have it with me.
But I mean, she really wanted this to be a Macy's Day thing.
And tell the story.
How did that happen?
So, you know, we stayed close with Kid Poteet.
Was the mission director for Inspiration 4 and then ended up ultimately going up in Polaris Dawn.
So, you know, we stayed close to him too.
And he had messaged me after Liv's surgery and asked me to ask Liv what she wanted to send to space.
And initially we thought they were just going to send a toy or, you know, something that she wanted.
And it ended up being the zero G indicator.
And the couple things that she wanted to send, they couldn't get licensing to.
So they decided to have her draw something up and custom make something.
And so she has always loved Shiba Inus.
She found out Elon had Floki.
So that was kind of like her basis.
She wanted it to be a space Shiba Inu.
And SpaceX kind of took it and ran with it and literally made the cutest toy dog.
And in a space outfit, and he made lots of it.
And didn't he, didn't Elon pay for all of these things just pay for them to be made?
And I, all of the proceeds from Asteroid, uh, Liv got to choose where the proceeds went to, and so that she chose for it to be donated to St. Jude.
So, um, when she heard that Jared, because this happened before he was head of NASA.
When she found out that he was the head of NASA, did she at some point go, That's the guy, that's the guy that I was in the fighter jet with?
I mean, it must have been amazing to have been with that guy because she just wanted to be an astronaut.
And to now know, I know the head of NASA.
Look at that picture.
When they showed me that picture at fighter jet weekend, that was the one.
She adored him.
She looked up to him so much.
And it was almost more of an uncle, she felt like he was, than just, he was just Jared to her.
He wasn't really the big astronaut, he wasn't the head of NASA.
It was just, that's Jared to her.
And, um, and he went above and beyond to make sure that she was taken care of.
So, um, we have a list that she wrote that she wanted to ask Elon when she was, you know, when he was calling.
She had a list of nine or 10 things she wanted to ask him.
And they are just so, they're so nerdy.
Yeah.
Um, and, uh, What I want to do is, I would like to have you go through the questions and we'll post it today on X and I will bet you that Elon Musk will answer those questions.
Can we take a break here for a second and then come back and then have you go through these questions that you wanted to ask Elon Musk?
Questions for Elon Musk 00:09:24
Yeah, I mean, I don't have the list next to me, so I can't see it very big.
Oh.
Okay, I have it.
So maybe we'll go through it and you can maybe.
Help me with that list.
We'll go through that here in just a second.
Standby.
Isn't God great?
Isn't God great?
See if this sounds familiar to you.
You're going about your day, doing all the things you normally do, and then out of nowhere, it hits you pain.
You can actually remember the time when it wasn't there, when you didn't have to think about it, you didn't have to work around it, you didn't have to stop what you were doing all the time because something in your body was deciding, yeah, I'm done for the day.
But somewhere along the line, it just showed up and then it just stayed.
I lived through that.
I got my life back.
With my hands, we were in so much pain that I couldn't, and I couldn't break it.
Relief factor has broken the back of that.
I don't have pain in my hands anymore.
I didn't think I could paint, I didn't think I could write.
And I started taking it because my wife forced me to take it because I didn't think it would work, but it did.
Three weeks.
She said, just try it for three weeks, like they say.
Three weeks.
I wasn't doing commercials for relief factor because I didn't know the product or whatever.
She said, I heard it and you should take it and try it.
And I did.
Three weeks later, I was feeling better, and I'm like, well, but it's not that.
And I stopped taking it, and all that pain came rushing back.
And I'm like, oh, it is that.
ReliefFactor.com, 800 for relief.
Try it for three weeks.
Listen to my wife, ReliefFactor.com.
The inspiring true story about Liv, free at glenbeck.com.
If you want to help us tell more stories like this, please join us at glenbeck.comslash torch.
Let me reintroduce you to Rebecca Parado.
She is a wife, a mother of two daughters.
She's a manufacturing accountant, an ultra marathon runner based in Pennsylvania.
Her family suffered profound loss when her daughter Olivia, Liv, was diagnosed with a really nasty form of cancer, and they fought it for five years.
And their lives changed because a few people got involved.
Liv was very much into the space program, and she met Jared Isaacman, before he was the head of NASA.
And he just threw himself into this family's life for no reason other than it was the right thing to do.
I mean, he just fell in love with Liv, I think, and the family.
And so remained in her life.
And Elon Musk got involved in her life as well and did some things.
They did some things behind the scenes that are just remarkable.
And nobody knows this story.
And I'm telling it because.
In such a cynical world, you need to see that real beauty exists and people are people that you've heard of that you don't necessarily know anything about except what media says.
They are real people and they're decent human beings.
Rebecca is with us.
Tell me the story now, Rebecca, of the list that I'm about to share.
So, you know, Liv's biggest dream, of course, was to meet Elon.
And, um, When she started to get really sick, when we found out she only had about six months left, which ended up really being less than three, he agreed to meet her at the next Starship launch, which was at that time supposed to be roughly February, of course, and then it got pushed back.
And after her appointment and New Year's, we realized that she only had weeks left, days.
And Kind of communicated that back to him, and he was trying to get in contact with her and was going to just call her then.
So, Liv was working on just a list of questions, and it actually ended up being in my handwriting because her entire left side ended up going paralyzed, and she was a left handed person.
And when she went to try to write down the questions, she realized she couldn't write.
So, So, her and I sat together the one night and wrote down questions that way we had them ready when he called.
And he did call, right?
He did.
What happened?
He did not.
So, I got a text message.
Oh.
And the message was, I'm with Elon now.
He can call her tonight or tomorrow sometime.
And it was probably eight o'clock at night by then.
And Liv said, Tell him to call tomorrow.
I'm tired.
And we laughed because she's like, No, tell Elon to call me tomorrow.
I want to go to bed.
Right.
And I just assumed that he had gotten too busy and just never got to call her the next day.
And then so, and she remained.
And when did she die?
Probably three or four days after that, just a couple days after.
So she wanted to have the conversation with him.
So these are the questions that he never answered.
And I'd love for him to answer them.
I think they're actually good questions.
She'd make a good reporter.
She would have made a good reporter.
Question number one Are you going to make your own phone?
I know his answer to that one, and it's fascinating.
Are you expanding the Tesla diner to new areas?
She's a nerd.
If you know about the Tesla Diner, you are Nerd Central.
Are there any new games with any upcoming Tesla updates?
Listen to this one.
What is your favorite anime?
Have you ever been to Japan?
What was your favorite place or thing there?
Do you know about Hatsumi Ku?
That's an anime character.
She was really deeply into anime, and I think he is too, right?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
Was Annie, an AI Grok companion, inspired from Misa from Death Note?
Okay.
And can you make Asteroid the mascot for SpaceX?
Which of the questions do you think she would have wanted answered positively?
Definitely.
If she could only ask one and get the answer, what one do you think it would be?
Probably Hatsun Miku.
She loved that character.
And there's another list also that Jared had her put together for all of her final wishes or things that we could do to remember her.
And the one was she would like a collaboration with Hatsun Miku, Figurine, and Asteroid together.
She also wanted.
A way for kids like her to be able to go to space camp, right?
Right.
And that is possibly, hopefully, that's hopefully something that we can, you know, pull off.
Sponsor a pediatric cancer child to attend a rocket launch in person.
She said there are a lot of other kids that wanted the same opportunity.
I would imagine that.
I can't imagine that Jared wouldn't.
I mean, NASA, have you seen how Jared is like really incorporating kids in almost everything he does now at NASA?
I mean, he is really talking to her generation.
Right.
I think that's just who Jared is, though.
It is.
It is.
That's what, I mean, I fell in love with your daughter through you guys at the space launch.
But I also have such profound respect now for Jared and Elon and the things that they did that they didn't have to do.
Jared did not, he had no reason to do any of these and not expecting anyone to ever find out.
Impact from Hollywood to DC 00:09:55
And I just thought it was important for people to know.
That the smallest of us, the weakest of us, can make a huge impact.
And some of the world's greatest in their quiet times are doing remarkable things.
Thank you so much, Rebecca.
Thank you.
Just go ahead.
God bless you.
You can follow the story.
You can follow her.
You can go to her ex handle, Rebecca Parado, Rebecca Parado, and follow the story because this is an amazing family.
All right, more in a minute.
Let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
You know, it never makes the headlines.
You know, the things that didn't happen, the attack that.
Wasn't, you know, that was prevented, that didn't go off.
The family that made it to the shelter in time, the elderly man who actually had food in his home, you know, when everything started to shut down all around him.
You don't see those stories because from the outlook of the outside, it looks like, you know, nothing happened.
But the truth is, somebody made sure that nothing happened.
Somebody thought ahead.
Somebody put resources in place.
Somebody decided that when that moment came, people wouldn't be left on their own trying to figure it out.
Real help isn't about reacting after the fact, it's about stepping in early enough.

And that is what the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing right now.
They're working ahead of the crisis as much as responding to it, making sure that families have food and shelter and support before things get worse.

Glenn Beck is our.
Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
There's a couple of things I want to go over before we have to scoot out of here.
TMZ is now moving to the Capitol.
If you don't know what TMZ is, it's the Hollywood tabloid.
They do a lot of gotcha stuff.
They get the pictures of all the people that are sleeping with each other and all of this crap.
And it's moving to Capitol Hill.
Well, they're actually expanding to Capitol Hill.
And I have to tell you, I am torn on this because, oh, if.
If they actually go after both sides, I mean, I don't care.
You can go after Republicans first, as long as you go after Democrats next.
You know, go after all of these dirtbag slime balls.
If that actually is going to be exposed by these guys, I'm all for it.
I'm all for it.
If it is just another tool of the left to go after just Republicans, then, you know, congratulations.
We got another tool.
But these guys are really effective and not effective in a way that I personally like.
I mean, Jason, we have had so many conversations about TMZ over the years because you, I got to know you because for a few years you were my personal body man for personal security for my family and I.
And we had many conversations about paparazzi.
What is your experience with TMZ?
I've had a lot of experience with TMZ and a lot of the paparazzi companies in the Los Angeles, Hollywood area.
And I, so just speaking of the entire apparatus within Hollywood, they are completely infiltrated in every single aspect.
Of Los Angeles, the city, the county, a lot in the state.
It is wild, the coverage that they have.
And I saw a lot of legacy media within DC in some of these articles referencing this story, kind of putting their nose up at them and saying, It's clear they have a lot to learn.
It's just these Hollywood guys have a lot to learn about politics in DC.
Oh, yeah.
You're going to learn a lot about Hollywood tabloids soon.
You're going to learn a lot because it used to be my business, Glenn, to evade people like this.
And we knew that.
All of these companies do something similar.
But they'll have like a voucher system where they'll have like a piece of paper that will say like $500, $1,000, $10,000.
They'll give these to people, like they'll give them to valets at hotels.
They'll give them to people that take your bags at the airport or custodians.
Or just think of anybody that could be an informant.
They'll give these to them and say, if you ever see anything, the number is on the back.
And if you have something good, we'll see how much of that, which one of those vouchers will cash in for you.
It is everywhere, everywhere you could think.
Just think of a spy movie where literally, or like in The Matrix, where every single person could be one of the agents.
That's kind of what they've set up in Los Angeles.
That is what's coming to DC if they go all the way through with it.
Imagine the restaurants.
Everybody at the door that greets you at a restaurant would have a voucher.
That if they come in, you see them doing something.
Every hotel, if you see this person come in, say something, will pay you.
I mean, these guys are not going to be able to go anywhere except to the weird cages, apparently, in the basement of the Capitol.
I hope that's not true.
But they'll have nowhere to hide.
Nowhere to hide.
Because if you pass out, Washington, D.C. is not Los Angeles.
It is a very small area.
You're not going anywhere.
Not going anywhere.
Yeah, I'm not for them turning politicians into celebrities.
I hope that does not happen.
If they can kind of get down to the nitty gritty of some of the crazy stuff we do know that goes on in Washington, D.C., I'm more interested in that if they can.
But I think that if this legacy media wants to continue to make fun of them and say that they're not going to get anything, stand by because I don't think you know what you're getting into.
Yeah, I wonder if they will sell out to one of the parties or special interests because they're handing out vouchers.
You know, somebody could help them make an awful lot of money on things.
You know, it's just so nasty in Washington, D.C. What you don't have in Hollywood that Washington has is an opposing force.
You might have people that are competing against each other, but you don't have people that are willing to do everything, you know, to get their competition killed and sometimes literally mean that.
I mean, the game that TMZ will be getting into is not a game they'll even recognize, I don't think.
Would you agree with that, seeing both worlds?
Oh, yeah.
It gets pretty nasty, at least in the Hollywood era.
But it's not just nasty, it's very thought out, it's very methodical, and the system does work.
And I don't know if TMZ does this specific voucher system, or I don't know if it's just an industry wide thing that everyone kind of takes part in.
So maybe they've even changed their tactics since I was involved in it.
But if it's anything even close, To what it was.
Yeah, DC is in for a rude awakening very soon.
But yet, you know, the really nasty stuff in Hollywood is still not known.
Would you agree with that?
I mean, TMZ gets a lot of nasty stuff, but it always seems like there's another level that you're like, well, wait a minute, what about this?
And I don't know if that's true or just, you know, conspiracy theory on Hollywood, but it seems kind of true.
I will say, you know, in working in it for as long as I did, it was, it is, it's surprising when big stories become big stories and they come out, you know, like Weinstein or something like that, when you had heard rumors about it for years beforehand, but no one just talked about it.
It is kind of, I don't know, I would say weird, but it's all, it all seems very, very coordinated.
You know, hang on, I've only got about 45 seconds.
I want to go to Ricky.
We have breaking news.
Ricky, go ahead.
Yeah.
Trump just apparently orchestrated a 10 day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon that's effective today at 5%.
P.M. Eastern.
It's the first time in 34 years that the two countries met.
So there's a nice happy ending to today's show.
Wow.
Wow.
There's talk, there were rumors today that Lebanon might join the Abraham Accords.
If that happens, this is game changing.
This is absolutely game changing.
