I don't know why. Good to see that the biological weapons I've released are finally doing their job. Are finally working, yeah. There's frost on the grass this morning up here in the mountains, and it is a beautiful day. But what we need to talk about is something that...

Well, let me start here. Whether or not we should have gone in and entered a war or done a military strike this weekend, now been answered. It doesn't matter. You heard the news just as I did on Saturday. The question is over. It's done.

We now have a whole lot more to think about. We can go back and argue whether we should have been here or not. It doesn't matter anymore. We're here. So my goal today is really to try to equip you with everything, all of the information that you need. We're doing this together. As I am searching for the answers myself, debating on, you know, what happens next, what happens now, you know, the president, the president,

have really, really good intel on this. I will tell you this. What our military did was absolutely amazing. And he is the only president in the last 25 years that has actually taken care of Iran. Every single president said they would strike Iran. They would not allow them to have. But he is the only one that did it. And he is the only one that I think has the balls to do it. And I spoke to some

in the B2 program this weekend. And I will tell you, what they did was far...

Far beyond what I think most people understand. But if we're going to do this accurately, let me lay out all the cards on the table. It's not a justification for the strike or one way or another because the White House authorized it. It is over. We just need a few facts before we move forward on our conversation. What happened over the weekend? So let's take a quick look at the past. First, let's go back to 1979. I...

I don't know. How do you characterize what's been going on? You know, I was about to say, you know, it's silent. But if you were one of the 66 Americans held hostage by the Islamic regime in 1979, it wasn't very silent for you. It also wasn't silent for

A silent war for the 17 Americans that were killed in the 1983 embassy bombing in Beirut. Nor was it silent for the 241 American servicemen that were killed in the 83 bombing of the Marine barracks. 1984, two more American killed. 1996, 19 U.S. airmen killed at the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia.

All of these attacks were traced back to the Iranian regime with Iranian support. And the list of attacks and U.S. body count goes on and on and on. Dozens killed in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2020, all with Iranian support. Hundreds killed in Iraq from 2003 to 2011 with Iranian support. The plots and the assassination attempts, the kidnappings on U.S. soil...

in 2011, 21, and 2024. The fact is we have already been at war since 1979. It's just that nobody has ever called it that, and nobody knew how to fight it. Past presidential administrations have tried everything from declaring, you know, an axis of evil and Iran is part of it to massive international nuclear weapons treaties.

They have involved the whole region, covert operations, you know, taking us back out of the international treaties. And then, honestly, I mean, in the most bizarre thing I've ever heard, Barack Obama just delivering like pallets of cash in the middle of the night on an airport runway in Iran. And none of it has worked.

And, you know, I don't know if you're like me or not. I can't predict Americans anymore. I have no idea what Americans are thinking. If you're like me, right now I am proud of our country and what our military can do and has done. I am very, very nervous about what it means, I think, to

I think we're at the beginning of something, and it might be in the next 50 years. Look, we are in a war with Islamists, and I'll go into that later. But we are in the beginning of a 50-year war with Islamists. No question. And it could get bad very quickly. Now, it might not. I don't know. But I have a million questions. Should we be involved in any of this all around the world?

How do we not know that we're not being bamboozled by deep state and Intel community again? You know, I go back, I heard Steve Bannon, who's going to be on with me tomorrow. I heard Steve Bannon talk yesterday about how the international Intel community, the deep state has, you know, done it again. And I don't know if that's true, but what he talked about, I know for a fact is true because I,

George Bush told me this when I was in the Oval Office trying to make me feel better. He said, Glenn, no matter what, you know, no matter what happens, you know, whoever sits in this chair is going to know that it's going to have the same advisors around them. They're going to give them the same advice and they'll realize they don't have any other choice but to do exactly what they're doing. And that didn't make me feel better. That said to me, there's deep state long before anybody was talking about deep state. That just really rubbed me the wrong way.

So the questions that we all have, there's logic behind all of them. But the strike this weekend did happen. And ignoring the facts of the past will only give us half of our answers. Now, I'm not saying that that should justify it in your mind. But, you know, you need to know what was going on. You know, because going in armed only with part of the overall knowledge will do nothing but drive narrative. You have to know all of the facts.

and you and I can get plenty of uninformed and biased narratives from any of the cable news shows. I mean, just name one, pick one. But education is what will set us apart. So that is the past. Now here is the present. This is the inside story of our direct attack on the Islamic regime in Iran over the weekend.

It was called Operation Midnight Hammer, and it involved about 125 U.S. aircraft. I've heard as many as 175, including multiple B-2 heavy bombers. Now, we only have like 14 B-2 bombers. These things are enormous. They are the best of the best. These pilots are the best of the best. And we had about 12 of them up in the sky.

That means that we should just salute our mechanics that we have in our military. To keep 14, to have 12 of them up and ready to go at a moment's notice is pretty remarkable. These are very complex machines. So they had 12 of them up. Now we know that...

some of them were headed west towards Guam. We now know that this was subterfuge. It was misdirection. Everybody was paying attention to, you know, the bombers heading west. They were like, what are they doing? They just left Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Seven B-2s now are just, they're headed west and they're going to Guam. Are we going to bomb Japan? Everybody was paying attention to that. It was brilliant strategy.

Because the others were flying east. Now, just before the B-2s began their bombing run, dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from U.S. submarines. They targeted nuclear sites at Nance and the other nuclear sites just a few minutes ahead of the bombers. They cleared the Iranian skies of enemy aircraft, although...

We didn't see any enemy aircraft. We didn't see, they didn't jam anything. I mean, it was like their military didn't exist. Now, the B-2s swept in, and they dropped these bunker busters. They're called MOPS. I think it's Massive Ordnance Penetrators. They're bunker buster bombs. They are worth millions and millions and millions of dollars. They are about the size of, I think, an F-16, right?

They're enormous. And, uh, they are one of the more precision bombs that we have. And they were made specifically for Fordo. They're made specifically, they were designed for this run. Uh, I spoke to some people who, uh,

have been around the B2 program, shall we say. And they said for 15 years, they have been training for this very run. For 15 years, they have, in fact, I think it's at White Sands, we built a replica of this nuclear plant. And I mean, underground, because we needed to see how far these bunker busters, could they actually penetrate into,

and close that nuclear facility down. So we have been running this practice run for 15 plus years. We have been very, very serious about it. Again, when everybody said, you know, only the United States could do this, that's because we built this bomb for this run. And we have been rehearsing it over and over and over and over again.

So finally, the president gave the go. Now, these bombs are so sophisticated that, you know, if they're being jammed and somebody is trying to screw with the GPS, it doesn't need GPS. It can also, it has a backup system that's coming from the plane that can't be jammed.

It's running two systems because this bomb has to be accurate enough to go down a shaft. If you saw a Top Gun, it's almost this without the steep dive and then the mass acceleration and pull-up at the end. It's exactly like what you saw in Top Gun. They had a shaft that was about a 10-foot square.

And they needed, from 50,000 feet, they needed to drop these bunker busters down that shaft. Now, I have been told that this bunker buster is so accurate, it can hit the top of a soda can from 50,000 feet. So we dropped the missiles, 14 of these bunker busters,

All sites connected to Iran's nuclear program presumed to be destroyed. If you look at the maps before and after the satellite imagery, it looks pretty bad. I don't know what I'm looking at, but I talked to some people who do know what they're looking at, and they said it looks like it's totally destroyed, but we have to have somebody down on the ground to actually verify. And I would imagine those are the Israelis that are doing that.

So now that is what's happening on the ground over the weekend, past, present. And now let's look at the future because this leaves us with massive questions. What comes next? What does all of this mean? All right, Gil there here in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's the Berna Launcher. Let's play a game of what if.

What if you're walking the dogs and somebody decides you look like easy pickings? You're in a parking lot at night. You're the only person around. And there's one other person that is kind of, you know, in the shadows, not giving you a really good feeling. What if somebody breaks into your home? You have seconds to act. What if you, what if you, you know, are driving down the road and you run into a protest and they're blocking your car and they won't leave you alone? What do you do? Well,

May I suggest the Berna launcher? It is non-lethal. It's a launcher that fires powerful pepper and tear gas and kinetic rounds. It's strong enough to stop an attacker, but without the life and death finality of a firearm. It is legal in, I think, every state without a permit.

It looks and feels like a real handgun because in a crisis, confidence really matters. It's a compact model now that they have out and they're really good, designed for easy carry. It can fit in your glove box, your purse, your backpack, nightstand, anything. You don't have to choose between doing nothing and going nuclear.

Burna gives you a third option, powerful, safe, non-lethal protection when it counts. Go to select sportsman warehouse stores, uh, to find a live demonstration, Burna retail stores and authorized premier dealers. It's Burna B Y R N a.com Burna.com 10 seconds station ID. Okay. So now let's, let's look at what all of this means. Um,

You know, hopefully this is a one and done strike like it was when President Trump took out Soleimani during his first term. There is an opportunity to get more involved and I hope we don't take it and I hope Iran doesn't push us into that. What we cannot have is another prolonged military fiasco in the Middle East. We cannot have American boots on the ground. And I know President Trump and I know he doesn't want that either.

Now, the question is, what is Iran going to do? Will they begin targeting U.S. forces on the ground all over the Middle East? Will the Iranian-backed terrorists begin attacking us right here in the U.S.? And boy, do we have some information on that.

Also, Iran has long held the Straits of Hormuz. They have the threat of closing all oil traffic. That's a big ace up their sleeve. Is that next? We know that the Supreme Leader, the religious leader, called for it this weekend. The Supreme Council has to vote on it. We should know today. Iran's parliament voted successfully to do that. It's the first step forward.

You just need the go-order order now from the Supreme Council and the Ayatollah himself. If Iran chooses to do this, we will see a spike in our oil prices somewhere between $120 and $150 a barrel. It could be as high as $200 a barrel. So you know the 08 collapse was brought on. The final straw was $130 a barrel.

$130 per barrel oil. The entire world, the Western economy, and actually the whole world's economy is built on about $120 a barrel oil.

And anything over that, especially sustained, the whole thing collapses. It's a house of cards. So this would be a very, very bad knockout punch. The global economy already held by chewing gum and duct tape. What would happen with $150 barrel of oil? Nothing really good. Now, the regime, could it crumble and fall apart? And will the people rise up?

Or will it go like Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya? It could be a success. The polls overthrew the communists, and that was great, but...

We now know today the religious police are everywhere on the streets now. These are some of the most brutal police forces out there. Hundreds have already been arrested. They're told to stay in their house. It's like you were living in California during COVID, except worse. Every car on the street is being checked. Every phone is being monitored. And over the weekend, at least 100 religious dissidents have already been executed, called spies for Israel.

The U.S. Embassy in Qatar has issued an emergency shelter in place for all Americans living there amid the tensions. The alert was issued, quote, out of an abundance of caution. According to the embassy, there is a potential for demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. The Department of State advises U.S. citizens worldwide to exercise increased caution.

China now is condemning the U.S., as is Russia, in one of the more disturbing developments. I read this morning that one of the top officials from Iran is going to Russia today to meet with Putin. That means their alliance is not being deterred. But, you know, for those who do believe in Bible prophecy, that's bound to happen because they are the Gog and Magog of the book of Revelation today.

So our past, our present, and our future is complicated. What happens in the coming days, the weeks, and months is even more complicated. And it will either be an amazing success or lead us toward a very dark future. But anybody who wants to blame Donald Trump, you can blame every president since 2000. And actually before that, I think Bill Clinton was saying it.

As was almost every single serious candidate for president. They have always said that they would never allow Iran to get a nuclear bomb. President Trump is just the first one to not send him a pallet of cash to try to bribe them. This was decisive, bold, and courageous action. Now, let's...

Prepare for fire and pray, pray, pray for peace. This is Glenn Beck. Now, I don't know if you've seen, but the price of oil is up another, what, $7 this morning just on the threat of the Straits of Hormuz. You know, that's only a two-mile stretch where a tanker can get through that's easily mined, and, you know, it's going to be trouble if that happens.

your dollar is going to, um, take a real hit, especially if that happens, please, please. The same crowd that told you inflation was transitory is now telling you that everything is fine. You know, lean into the dip. Don't worry about the national debt. Just keep your money in the system. Hope the system doesn't bite back. Well, there's another plan. Uh, you know, cause that's you rolling the dice and the house always wins on that one. May I suggest if you see the storm, uh,

that is on the horizon

Please bring yourself a little peace of mind. Roll some of your money into physical gold or silver, into an existing IRA or 401k, tax deferred. This isn't about fear. It's about wisdom, seeing the storm coming and hoping that you're wrong, but taking the steps to be prepared. Get their $4,200 gold report at 800-957-GOLD. 800-957-GOLD. Lear Capital. Do it now.

Head over to glennbeck.com, get the free email newsletter. Sign up now. glennbeck.com. You know, we are entering such difficult times, and I'm going to try to do something different than what I would normally do. You know, I don't normally try to just throw bloody red meat around.

At the audience, I always try to, but I am on this particular front and from here on out, I want to try to be

Somebody that you could listen to that is not going to just give you one side. It's not because I don't have an opinion. My opinion is I'm actually glad we did this. I am worried what the response is going to be, but this may have been one of the last chances to do it. If they ever did get a bomb, the world would be a much, much scarier place.

And this is something that every president has said they were going to do. For instance, let me take this on real quick. The whole thing about the War Powers Act, does the president have the right to do this? Well, no. According to the Constitution, you know, back in the old timey days when we followed it, no, not really. However...

However, he does have the right to make moves. And if Congress, if he doesn't go to Congress and he tries to get us roped into a war, if any president does, the Congress within 30 days can then cut off all of the money and say, Mr. President, I'm sorry, you're pulling everybody home. So there is that. And that is in the Constitution. The problem is, is that.

Every single president, I think since maybe Eisenhower, definitely the Kennedy administration, they have just been saying this is limited. This isn't war. So we don't need to go to you and get a war. We don't need to declare war. When was the last time you ever heard us declare war? We had a war on terror. But what does that even mean?

We don't do that anymore. And that's the problem. The president can say, and every single one of them have said, no, this is just a limited strike. Is this a limited strike? Yes. Could it turn into war? Yes. But when you look at Iran, and again, I want to be very clear, and it's hard to be, because people only hear what they want to hear.

I am glad that we did this.

I don't know if I would have had the guts as president to do it. And I would have been praying all the time on my knees, begging the Lord, am I being duped here by the deep state? What is happening? But I happen to believe that Iran is a threat to the United States. It has killed more people, more Americans, than I think any other country in the last, what, 30 years?

They have they're the only ones that are shouting every time they meet death to America, death to Israel. And they mean it. You know, they killed all kinds of people when we were in fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. And we always look the other way. And then we always say we're going to do something about it. And we never do.

We have been preparing, you know, one of the things that really sharpened me on this was talking to somebody in the, the B2 program, somebody who had been with the B2 program for a very long time, um, was, you know, instrumental in, uh,

the B2 program and had firsthand knowledge. And he had said they had been training for 15 years plus specifically for this run. So this is not a Donald Trump thing. This has been something that we invented this bomb, the mop. We invented this bomb for the Fordo plant. When the world said, you know, when Trump said, no, nobody else in the world could pull this off. That's true.

We invented this bomb and we did dry runs in the middle of our desert where we built a replica underneath the ground to see if this bomb could actually destroy Fordo. So this has been well planned for a very, very long time and it was really well executed. Um, but you know, what comes from this now, I'm not really sure. Uh, Stu is with us. Jason Buttrell is with us. He is, uh,

you know, our head researcher and head writer for the TV program, also military expert, was in military intelligence, and welcome both Stu and Jason. Howdy, sir. So what is your take on this, Jason? What is coming next?

I said last week on the program with you that this is this. I would have given the same advice to President Trump if I would have been on his staff. Do it. Do it. I think that it was the right thing to do. I'm nervous. Definitely. As you stated on what comes next. Yeah.

My hope is that everything that we feared about Iran's capabilities has been overblown or we were just very, very, maybe overly cautious. Yeah.

I know that there is a significant, and when I was in the military and looking at these things, significant ways that they could cause pain outside of conventional, you know, attacks. So you mentioned at the top of the hour, you know, the Straits of Hormuz. That's a very real threat. That's really dangerous. Really dangerous. It's only a two-mile, it's a two-mile trench, if you will, where the oil tankers can come in and out to get all that oil. Yeah.

And two miles, man, you can mine that. You can do all kinds of stuff from the shores. You've got the little speed boats with haji on it. I mean, it's really dangerous. And if they do that...

you know, that could be real, real trouble unless the world unites against them. Right. And, and that will bring the international community in. And this is the one, this is the flip side of some people will say, okay, well he's obviously, they're obviously going to shut down the streets. Well, this is the other side of that. If they do that, this is the last thing they do before probably the regime crumbles because you're going to bring China into the, into the mix on this. China receives half of,

of their oil from the Straits of Hormuz. Half!

90% of their oil already, or of Iran's exports already go to China. So a significant amount of China's lifeblood is coming from this area. And they're not going to sit around and watch this. So I had an advisor yesterday tell me that one of the things, and it took me a minute to get my arms around it. He said I would be very, very disturbed if,

suddenly any of the leadership went off to Russia and Russia was taking them in. And I misunderstood and I was like, I thought that would be a good thing because it would show that they're collapsing. And he said, no, no, no, no. If they are flying over there to

strengthen their relationship. If Russia starts flying these guys in and is giving them advice, that means that Russia is not distancing themselves. And that is happening today. And I, you know, I think that is, that is worrisome, especially since Iran was using Syria to make, you know, drones. I mean, they are, you know, we saw what Russia, what happened to Russia with the drones in Ukraine. We saw what Israel did with drones. And,

that is one of Iran's big things is making those drones. Are those drones positioned anywhere? Uh,

And will Russia back them on things? This is really, really scary because war is changing dramatically. It absolutely is. And a good portion of Russia's drones were coming from Iran that they were using in Ukraine. I've been watching these developments pretty closely on what's happening between Russia and Iran. Putin came out and said last week that, yeah, we've got a military pact with them, but we're going to hold off.

I don't think Russia is going to be too keen to get too involved in this. The foreign minister is there today from Iran and Russia. But Vladimir Putin's spokesman Peskov said, yeah, we're fully ready to help them out. They just have to be very clear and accurate on what they're asking for.

Which to me says we're not getting involved militarily. We might be able to offer you a discount code at Burger King or something like that. But beyond that, just slow down there, cowboy. That would be good. That would be very, very good. If China and Russia stay on the sidelines, that's a very good thing. Stu? My chosen solution for this problem was to walk up to some Israeli pilots and say, hey,

We left the keys in that B-2 bomber. Don't you take it. I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be gone in the bathroom for about 75 hours. That was my choice. And I am very concerned, I hope you guys are as well, as what Iran will do without that 1.8% of their power generation that they get from nuclear power. It's such a key.

program that they really needed to have for no other reason than energy generation. I mean, look, I think...

We can't lose sight of them, Iran, as a threat. And, you know, the country, the government that has killed more Americans in the past 15 years than any other. This is not like some, you know, innocuous... This is not outer Mongolia we're talking about. These people have killed a lot of our countrymen. And it's something that is important. And I think we've had this idea. Like, I think you may have said this, Glenn, last week, so I may be stealing it from you. But...

I don't think we would have done this if Israel hadn't done what they have done, right? Like we wouldn't, I don't think have been in there saying, okay, well, here we go. We're flying over there today on a Tuesday for no reason.

I think the fact, though, that Israel has already gone this far, they've already taken out the air defenses, they've already done so much. The fact that we can step in with a very limited type of attack that we've done in many other countries and have not turned into a massive war. We've been doing this in Yemen. We've been doing this in Syria. I mean, it's different. I understand that.

But like there's no reason this needs to turn into us being sucked into a 20-year Middle East war. And I don't – I think this is the type of president who can maintain that line. He did it with Soleimani. We had the same sorts of warnings from the media that we're going to be sucked into this never-ending war with Iran after Soleimani, and that did not occur. And I think and hope the president wants to hold that line, and if we can get some really good outcomes –

even if it's just a delay on their nuclear program for six months or a year or two years or five years, I think it's worthwhile. It's not crazy to worry about the things that some are worried about when it comes to getting us sucked into this type of situation. But I think when you weigh the positives and negatives here, I think it was the right move. Yeah. And I don't think, I don't think that president Trump is somebody that is going to be sucked in by the deep state. I just don't believe that he is.

hates war. And, you know, the one thing he really likes is Raisin Cane.

You know, General Raisin Kane, that guy, he believes this endless war stuff is nonsense. It's just bloodthirsty, and he hates it as well. And that's who is in charge here. You know, General Kane is this no-nonsense guy, like, there's no reason we wait and wait and wait and wait, and it takes us years and years. We can get this done right now.

And he was the guy who planned all of this. And look at how successful this was. I mean, it is the most successful strike that we've ever had, and partly due to Israel, because there was not a single plane that came off the ground. And that's a pretty big air force that Iran has. How sure of that are you, that it's the most successful? I mean, I know that's what obviously the government is saying, and I hope it's true.

Well, I would say that let's just qualify it with just this. Forget about did they get everything in there. Let's just look at was anybody hurt? Did we have to fight anything else? What was the collateral damage on the ground? We think it was very limited.

the, there was no leaks in this. I mean, that's pissing Congress off, but I wouldn't have told them either. Quite honestly, I don't can trust them. You're out with, you're out with the people who are drumming and lighting, you know, you got drums in the streets, Palestinian flags, and you're setting our cities on fire. I'm not going to tell you what we're doing. Uh, you know, overnight it was, it was perfectly executed. Now we won't know whether it was truly a brill obliterated, uh,

You know, until we have somebody down on the ground. But I think that intel is going to have to come from Iran. And we'll only know that in time. All right, I've got to take a quick break.

He is our military analyst Welcome to the program Jason you were gonna say before we wrap this hour up Yeah, I'm just really curious about where this goes from here and first off my

on just if those sites are destroyed, I absolutely think they were destroyed with the ordinance that was dropped and just the preliminary satellite imagery. It looks like they are taken out, which leads me into my next point is this whole thing has been very, very...

I guess regular. There's been a lot of brilliant military moves, subterfuge, things like that, but it's been very conventional. Israel used their military to expertly take out anti-air. The ways for Israel, I mean, Iran to respond and hit Israel, that's still ongoing. It was all set up perfectly for our strike, and our strike took out the intended reason for this entire thing, which was the nuclear sites.

Now I'm curious where they go from here because that is done. So do they stop or do they keep going? I'm seeing reports, maybe we can get to later, that things are still progressing and they're still hitting certain things. So where does this go? I think it's far from over. Well, on that happy note, take a quick break. We'll be back in just a second with more. We've got a lot on the plate today. We're going to cover all of it and take your phone calls. 888-727-BECK.

Oh my gosh, what a shock. AOC and all of the regulars, while they were out marching for Palestine, also want to now impeach Donald Trump because, you know, he started a war.

He started a war? What? What war? What war? This is the way presidents have been doing this forever. You want to change that? Okay, let's change that. But you've had opportunity after opportunity to change it. It just seems like it's yet to come.

thing that they can use against Donald Trump and they don't even know what they're at least in my opinion they don't even know what they're talking about Gabriel Nerona he is a guy that served as the special advisor for Iran at the State Department in the front the first Trump administration and

He also worked on the War Powers Resolution and all of the notifications of Congress whenever they have struck in the past. What does he think about that?

the president's actions yesterday and can he explain it to us in a way that makes sense and we can move on with our lives from another, I think, ridiculous argument. Again, I want Congress to vote for war, but was this war or was this a limited strike?

You're going to have to decide that, but we have the expert on it. Gabriel Nerona joins us in 60 seconds. Now, first, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's my company, Real Estate Agents I Trust. You know, moving shouldn't feel like gambling in a casino where you don't know the rules. But too often, that's exactly what buying or selling a home feels like, where you're blindly trusting some real estate agent that...

Happen to have a nice smile on a billboard. Realestateagentsitrust.com takes out the guesswork. This is my company and I started over a decade ago with my brother Robert because I'd had so many bad experiences buying and selling homes as did he. And we realized we don't know what we're doing. I mean, here's one of the biggest financial moves of our life and we don't know what we're doing. Well, we started working with the 500 best real estate agents in America according to the Wall Street Journal and we learned from them.

And we went out and we tried to find more people that had their principles, their values, and

their business expertise, what they knew and executed as best business practices was so important. So whether you're buying or selling, moving across town or across the country, the way to go with confidence is by going with a real estate agent from realestateagentsitrust.com. realestateagentsitrust.com. Get the job done right the first time.

Gabriel, welcome to the program. Polaris National Security President, former State Department Special Advisor for Iran. Did the president need to have congressional permission before striking Iran over the weekend? No, he did not. It would have been nice to have. It strengthens the president's hand when he does have a congressional authorization for the use of military force. But the Constitution grants him the powers as commander-in-chief to take all necessary actions immediately.

especially in a limited fashion like he just did. There are no forces being entered into conflict. There's no boots on the ground. This isn't us invading Iraq and toppling the government. This is a limited taking out their nuclear program. And so he's under full legal authorization. The Constitution grants him to do this.

And they never said anything about ISIS when he went after ISIS and shut them down. Right. I mean, we didn't hear this argument. Why is this? Why all of a sudden is this one so different than all of the limited strikes we have seen from all of the presidents recently?

you know you go back to libya 2011 you go back to isis 2014-15 same same scenario they but not actually in those cases those were even more uh intense military conflicts that we were involved in and and democrats didn't say anything republicans a few republicans said a few things

But the reason here is because they want to find something to attack President Trump for, but there's nothing on the policy because this went so well. So they're going on to the legal crutch just because they don't have anything else. But here's another thing. I was in Congress for four years. There were votes by Democrats where they said, we want to strip the president of the ability to attack Iran. And they introduced amendment after amendment after amendment, and they all failed miserably.

not a single one passed. I saw probably a dozen of these attempts over my years there. All failed, either in the markup process on the House floor, the Senate floor, in the conference. So Congress had the opportunity to stop this if they wanted, and they always said, no, we want the president to have the ability

to strike Iran if and when it's necessary. And, you know, I have to tell you, the world has changed. It's not like I have to send a ship to go sailing across the ocean anymore.

Within 36 hours, we can leave, you know, our base here in America, be over in Iran, drop bombs and be back at home, you know, time for dinner the next day. I mean, it is it's very, very different. And I think it's it's only logical to say the president should have a limited ability to not declare war, but to respond or to do a limited strike if it is in the national interest and

And then if it turns into something else, Congress can reprimand him if they want. Or isn't there something in the Constitution that's like 30 days or 60 days? They can shut off all the money. If he hasn't declared war and gone to Congress, they can just say, we're shutting off all the money. So...

you know, that's not accurate in this particular case because you'd have to have ongoing things, but a president just can't start a war. Congress can act. You're right. Correct? You're right. So back in 1973, at the height of the Vietnam War, Congress was concerned that a lot of that had been sort of unauthorized. So they passed what was called the War Powers Resolution. And that did two things. First, it said within 48 hours of

military forces entering a conflict, the president needs to come to Congress and basically tell them what legal authorization was used. And so I expect President Trump is going to do that today. There'll be a legal report filed. The next thing is that Congress said they have 60 days to pass an authorization for force or

If it doesn't happen, then the president has to withdraw the forces. But here's the thing. The Supreme Court has never ruled that resolution constitutional. And every single president since 1973, Democrat and Republican, have all asserted that is an unconstitutional resolution that was passed in the law. So Congress has the option.

If Congress wants, they have the power of the purse. At any point, they can defund any war. They can defund the Pentagon if they wanted to. And they can force the president to bring back troops if they don't have money. And Congress has never done so because Congress has always basically, you know, passed the buck to the president. The idea that the president has to go to the Gang of Eight,

and alert them before anything happens. Does that mean before the decision is made or right after the decision is made? I mean, I know he went to the leaders of Congress just minutes before the bombing started

And quite honestly, if I were the president, I would have done exactly the same thing. I can't trust members of Congress. I mean, look at what they're doing. These members of Congress are so radicalized now. You know, they're marching in the streets with people who are burning our cities to the ground. I don't know what I would have done other than exactly what Donald Trump did. Did he violate any laws or anything with how he handled himself with the members of Congress, the leadership?

No, he didn't. So, you know, the gang of eight for folks that don't know is the Democrat and Republican Senate majority leaders, minority leaders, House leaders and the leaders of the intelligence communities. Now, there's a tradition that sort of the big secrets get briefed to them. Things like Chinese espionage, Russian nuclear war heads, etc.

But there's not any legal requirement on this. And I'll tell you, when President Obama killed Osama bin Laden, there wasn't notification to Congress on that either. And so it's more of a tradition of deference to Congress. If you want to tell them special things, you can. But there's no legal requirement. It's really just sort of the way things are often done for big intelligence things. But this is a military op.

more than an intelligence operation. So I don't even think this applies in this case. So let me ask you about something that people like Steve Bannon are saying right now. They suggested that our intel system

was deep state or informed by Mossad. What intel did you receive during the first Trump administration that would lead you to believe that this is a sincere threat to American interests, not just a justification to help Israel?

You know, a lot of it, you don't even have to get the intelligence reports from. It's the fact that they promised, and at the highest levels of leadership, they promised to wipe Israel off the map. They promised to destroy America. So you have intentions there. In terms of capability, what we saw was that they were retaining a secret archive of

of everything needed to build a nuclear weapon. And they never declared that during Obama's Iran deal. And so even in Obama's Iran deal, they were breaking that from day one by having the secret archive. And then they had a bunch of nuclear scientists working on weaponization activities of the kinds of things that you need to actually physically assemble a warhead and make something explode.

And so all of that has been public knowledge for years. And so with respect to our Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, I think it's ridiculous that any country would get to the 99-yard line of getting a nuclear weapon, but say that they don't intend at some point to cross into the touchdown zone. I think that defies logic, frankly.

Um, was, you know, I'm hearing from both sides that, uh, you know, Trump was negotiating and trying to negotiate. Um, and the other side, Iran says they were never serious. In fact, we'd show up and then they never show up. Um, can you give me any insight on what the negotiations were actually like prior to the strikes? And do you think things are different now? And if so, how?

I think President Trump was genuinely interested in solving this the diplomatic way. And I'll tell you, he gave Iran very generous terms. He gave them a lot of what they had asked for. He came back a long ways from his position in 2018 to 2020, where he had those 12 demands on Iran. Here, he only had three or four things that he said were really essential –

But what the Iranians did, and they've always done this, is they tried to negotiate every single point.

They tried to get more and more and more. And every time they agreed to something, they'd come back and they'd renege on it. And so this wasn't the behavior of someone that wants to solve this. This was the behavior of someone that wanted to delay for time, that wanted to try to extract every concession, not the behavior of someone that genuinely wanted to live in peace with the United States and Israel.

I am so impressed with the team around Donald Trump, especially with Marco Rubio. I didn't know what to expect from Marco Rubio. As a Secretary of State, I think he has been just outstanding. What should his message be to Iran now?

You know, I think it would be this. You guys have the option to respond logically or respond emotionally. The logical path would be to say, look, all our air defenses are gone. Our ballistic missiles are mostly gone. Our nuclear program is gone. It's time to negotiate the terms of surrender in a way that gives us dignity, in a way that

in a way that allows our government to survive and to save our people from more destruction and economic misery. That would be the logical step. And then the emotional step is we're going to go attack American bases, extract revenge. And I think what Secretary Rubio should do is lay out really clearly for Iranian leaders the consequences of that emotional path and say, if you do this,

you will see your leadership wiped out, you will see the rest of your ballistic missile program wiped out, and you're not going to get good terms of negotiations. So if he can box in Iran's leaders, give them a good off-ramp, saying, hey, here's a realistic path that you can take to preserve your interests and attain peace, but don't take that hard path.

So Rick Grinnell said that he spoke to somebody, an Iranian source on the ground, who said things on the ground are really, really bad. They're locking everybody up in their house. It's martial law. They've already rounded up a group of religious dissidents that they say were spies for –

but executed like a hundred of them over the weekend. They've arrested hundreds, hundreds more. The, I can't remember the name of the religious police. It's the, I can't remember. Maybe, you know, but probably the besiege or the, yeah, probably the besiege. Yes, yes, exactly right. And they are on the streets pretty mercilessly right now, checking everybody's phone, their car,

I mean, it's very dangerous. Do you think there's a chance that the people can rise up? And why hasn't the president encouraged them to rise up yet?

You know, I think the Iranian people want to get rid of this regime. But I will tell you, hearing from Iranians myself, I also hear that they're pretty afraid for themselves. They are trying to evacuate their families. They're trying to find safe shelter. They don't know what's going to happen.

And so they're probably not going to take to the streets and overthrow the government right now. But a month from now, if this war is over, that is really the time where they could see their whole leadership crippled and say, we want a new future. And one of the things the Israelis are doing right now, which is really smart, is they are destroying the internal government system.

bureaucracy that is used to suppress the Iranians. So they're destroying, you know, the Gestapo stations, for lack of a better term, all the units which torture people, which arrest people, which monitor people through their high tech surveillance. They're destroying all these institutions, which used to be the ones that massacred the Iranian people. And so

They're paving the way that if the Iranians decide to take to the streets down the road, that they will be empowered, that they'll be able to gain momentum and that they would be actually successful in those efforts to overthrow the regime. Go ahead. Go ahead. No, no, please go ahead.

I saw President Trump tweet, I think yesterday, he sort of providing an opening for regime change. And he's sort of saying, look, if the government is not going to do the smart thing, the Iranian people should take control of their own future and change the regime themselves.

So that's the first time we've seen that from President Trump in the second administration, where he's sort of encouraged the Iranian people to to overthrow this regime. I think that's a smart thing to do. I don't think we can get a full resolution to the nuclear threat while this regime is in power.

Okay, so Gabriel, hold on for one minute. I have just one more question. It revolves around this, and I think it's probably the most important question we have.

Polaris National Security President Gabriel Nerona is with us now. Gabriel, I have hope that this could be a Poland situation if the people would rise up and the regime is toppled. But we have not seen that anywhere else in the Middle East. Is it possible, is it probable that the Iranian people would choose to go away and become more what they were in the 1970s?

It is possible, yes.

I'd probably only give it a 35% chance though. Here's why I put it that low. It's the Iranian leaders, unlike the leaders in Poland, unlike even Gorbachev, are willing to use as much military force as necessary to kill those protesters and stay in power. And that makes it really tough for them. What you don't have in Iran is you don't have a military group that has power, that has guns, that is able to overthrow the regime.

The regime would have to basically collapse under its own weight, under its own corruption and under its own weakness. And if it did, you won't have it removed. If it did collapse, would it be taken over by other extremists or is there any at least an even shot that the people could have it?

You know, there's a good shot that the people would have it. There's a large number of Iranians who all they really want is a secular government that lives at peace with its neighbors, that doesn't pursue a nuclear weapon, that allows the Iranian people to thrive, build a peaceful future for themselves. That's what I hope happens. I'll admit, small possibility, but something we should all work for and hope for.

I pray for it. Great, Gabriel. Thank you so much. Thanks for your service to the nation and thanks for the update. Appreciate it.

No federal judge has issued any ruling ordering President Trump to reverse the airstrike or...

return the munitions deployed in the operation. So, you know, it's coming. It's coming. But so far that hasn't happened. Stu, I don't know if you saw this, but man, the protesters were out and they have new signs, new signs and new slogans. Really? Which, oh yeah, they had the drum team all ready to go and they were out. And I mean, it would be hard to be a protester now because I wouldn't know. I don't think I could keep up with the changes, you know, because it's

It just seems to always be whatever is in the news and whatever Trump is doing, we have to march and protest. And it's the biggest thing of all time. And it's getting confusing. And I thought I would be helpful. I wrote a little speech for, you know, let's say...

you know, Zzer, Comrade River Rain is going to go out today, you know, and he's good. Okay. His, by the way, his pronouns are they, them and fury. So, but I thought, I thought, you know, somebody is going to give a speech. I should help them because it's really difficult to keep up with all of it. So, uh,

May I suggest, you know, when River Rain comes out today, he says, siblings, comrades, organisms of resistance, I come to you as a non-gender, neuro-spicy, trauma-infused survivor of heteronormative weather patterns and cis-assigned parking spaces. And I come to you to speak truth. Not truth as in fact-based, colonialist logic, but emotional truth, which is always more valid because I cried yesterday.

when I wrote this today. But we are gathered here on stolen land, under a sky colonized by Elon Musk and SpaceX, which we're very much against, in solidarity with anyone who has ever been oppressed by anything except like accountability. But let me be very, very non-binary, crystal clear.

We stand with Hamas because imperialism must fall. But I also want to remind you that we stand with the LGBTQIA2 plus and any other letters that we haven't invented yet. That community. And I know what you're thinking. River. Hamas throws queers off of the rooftops. Yes. And I say to that, don't center yourself here, Karen. Don't do it. Don't do it. Oppression is intersectional.

So what's happening to gays here in America is much worse than being thrown off a rooftop in Iran. And what's happening to women in America is worse than the stoning for adultery or the hijab now that has to cover their eyes, you know, their inability to inability to work or even drive a car or sometimes even leave the house because, yes, they're problematic. But let's be frank. So is RuPaul, you know.

He's a little problematic for us. This is nuanced activism. So we say no to war, except in Ukraine and Gaza, you know, and anybody else, maybe Venezuela. I mean, they can do whatever they want. We say no to borders, except for those emotional borders.

Which are sacred and have to be Venmo verified. I need a safe room for those. We say no to violence, except, you know, the mostly non, you know, nonviolent, mostly peaceful bricks that we're throwing through capitalist windows or the firebombing of cities or anything like that. That is, that's mostly peaceful. But silence, I want to remind you, is violence.

Unless it's us canceling you for saying something problematic in 2012, then you need to be silenced. I am proudly anti-vice, anti-ICE, anti-Freon, anti-Tesla, anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-accountability. I'm also pro-gluten-free revolutionary and socialism. We demand free healthcare, free college, free Palestine, free Wi-Fi all across the country, especially in those countries

places where those colonial pigs, you know, have just taken over the farmland, and free therapy for our collective trauma caused by billionaires and boomers and comedians that have opinions, you know. And I'm here today to honor the sacred struggle of all the peoples, including but not limited to the indigenous TikTokers, the vegan anarchists, the queer baristas with master's degrees, the cis-guilt allies who Venmo us monthly,

and the brave Hamas freedom fighters who we will not mention the rape of women that they were doing. They're learning, okay? They're growing. Growth is not linear, I'll just say. So in conclusion, we are the movement of everything, and yet at the same time, the movement of absolutely nothing. You know, we fight for contradictions over consistency. We fight for feelings over facts, for equity over logic, for a world where everyone is free.

I mean, unless you're a landlord or Elon Musk or somebody who said all lives matter once at a Thanksgiving table. Have you posted your black box on Instagram yet? What are you waiting for? I mean, it's almost over. We're on to other things by this point. Power to the people.

Well, not all the people, but, you know, at least the gender fluid AI collective will build after the revolution because trans liberation now and trans Siberian railroad, really, I don't know what their opinion is on stuff, but I love them and free Gaza. And hey, fight for pedophilia and abolish air conditioning. We're in this together again. Where are the drums? Where are the drums?

They are... I can't keep up with them, Stu. I can't keep up with them. Was that a speech from a protester or a potential mayoral candidate in New York City that may beat Andrew Cuomo? I'm a little confused. Because I think that could come right out of his mouth as well. I mean, that's crazy. That's fascinating. And like the...

Like with all of these roads of each protest sort of intersection, you know, colliding into an intersection. Oh, yeah. It's like they don't seem to ever need to like explain them. Like why are they so for war kind?

Ukraine, but so against it and so other places. But again, like, unless it's, you know, of course, we all get a purge day on October 7th. That was, that's totally, we're fine with violence on that day. Totally fine.

Only. Well, they weren't silent, and silence is violence. And they were making phone calls. They were saying all kinds of things. Admitting everything. Yeah, they were doing that. And I'm fascinated as well, Glenn, as I seem to see basically every word you just said on freshly printed signs.

Now that is fascinating. How does that work exactly? Do you know? I don't know. I mean, especially from all these people that just don't seem to have jobs, you know, they're protesting all over and yet they can go to, I mean, it's not Kinko's because they all have, look at them. They all have the little, you know, printed by the union sign at the bottom of those signs. And I've never thought of the union as the place to, you know, like, ah, crap, we need a sign in an hour, right?

Do you know a sign company that has unions working there? Because they're going to whip it out quickly, especially on the weekends or overnight from Saturday to Sunday morning. It was amazing that Saturday night they bomb Iran and Sunday morning they have union printed signs about Iran and the bombing and Trump.

I mean, I have never. Wow. How does that happen? You've got some connections at a sign store. No leaks to Congress, but plenty of leaks to Kinko's, apparently. Don't give Kinko's that credit. I don't think you can go to Kinko's and get those signs printed that quickly. It's true. Whatever union sign store, they got word of the attack well in advance so they could produce all the signs. But Congress just didn't know.

They had to. I mean, how could you pay for the... You imagine the overtime those unions had to put in to do them overnight? Well, those signs had to be like $1,000 a piece with just all the overtime of printing the signs, designing the signs, getting them all packaged up, putting them on a truck, dropping them with a pallet of bricks someplace. I mean, it's not easy to be a protester, except for them, strangely.

Yeah, they're able to not only do the protests, but show up at multiple protests all across the country. Like, I don't know if they've got private jet service. I'm not exactly sure how they pull this off so easily, but they do. And it's really, I feel bad for them. I'll be sincere here for a second. Do you know how much money they have spent?

in non-American flags over the last month. I mean, think about it. All the flags they have to go out and buy, and they're like, we just bought the Palestinian flag. Now we need the Iranian flag? Mm-hmm.

I mean, how many flags are we going to have to buy? I feel bad for them. The flag companies are doing well, too. This might be all big sign and big flag that is behind all of this. It's just sad because they're so anti-capitalist. They wouldn't want to help these industries, but they do. I think, Glenn, it's just that, you know, just a lot of people in downtown Los Angeles just happen to have Palestinian flags handy. They just had them because

Because there's just like a massive Palestinian population in Los Angeles. Not Detroit, where maybe that would make some sense. But no, they just all had the Palestinian flags ready to go the next morning. Fascinating. If I asked you right now, Stu, where could you buy an Iranian or Palestinian flag?

Let me, if I asked you right now, you need a flag in the wee hours of the morning, an American flag, where would you go to buy an American flag Saturday night, 10 o'clock at night? I mean, maybe I could pull that off. I mean, it is almost July. I could probably go to a Walmart and find that one flag. All right. I will say very,

very difficult to find a Palestinian or Iranian flag. I would not know outside of searching on the internet and finding a store that would overnight it to me. This is probably the fastest you could find it.

I don't think I would be capable of pulling that off currently. I would have a hard time on a Monday at noon finding a place that could sell those. And honestly, if I was going online to buy them, I would be afraid that I was now on some list being tracked because there are not a lot of people. It's 4th of July weekend. I need a good Iranian flag.

I mean, there's not a big call for those, you know? I would think that would put you on. Is it possible that this...

This is what the FBI is doing. Dan Bongino is like, let's just open up flag companies for all the enemies of the country. They buy a flag, we arrest them. We know who they are. That would be a really pretty good idea, honestly. Yeah, not a bad one. Just enemies of the United States flags, just produce them with little listening devices in each one. We obviously don't...

We don't pay attention to any of the amendments that might violate anymore anyway. So let's just go for it. Do we need the listening device, though? Honestly, you're going in. Give me a reason you're going in to buy an Iranian flag and you don't work for the Glenn Beck program. Because I could see us going, I need an Iranian flag. But generally speaking, if you don't work for the Glenn Beck program,

What would be a good American wholesome? I'm not against America reason to buy that flag this weekend. Right. Well, that's it's it's interesting. You know, even if you happen to be a person who despises the current regime of Iran, you

And like we're living here, which we do have. We've had people on the show who were born in Iran who have, you know, who can't stand what's going on there. Like you could be a patriotic person. Patrick, that David, but even, even those people, uh,

hate the current Iranian flag because they changed it. So there really is no reason to do it. Yeah. I mean, you might go out and say, can I get the classic Iranian flag? Right. I could see that. I could see that. Pre-1979, could I get that one? You know? But no, I think maybe...

Maybe the purchase of the Iranian and, quite honestly, the Palestinian flag should lead directly to your arrest. I'm just saying. I mean, I know that sounds a little fascist. It seems a little bit like it wouldn't work with our Constitution and First Amendment, but...

You know, we find if we were on the left, we could find a federal judge that would go along with it. You absolutely could. If there was a left wing president, there'd be no problem finding a few circuits that would approve that. You would have all of the circuits approving that. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's preborn. You don't have to imagine what a miracle sounds like. It is the sound of a heartbeat. Tiny, quick, fragile and undeniably alive.

And for a woman who is unsure or being pressured into that abortion, that sound can be the turning point. Preborn is making that moment possible.

All they do is they provide free ultrasounds to moms in crisis and compassionate counseling that helps them choose life. These women, they don't want to kill their baby. They've been either convinced that it's not a baby yet because they want to believe that and everybody in their life is telling them that and they don't feel like they have any kind of choice in front of them because nobody will help them. But when they hear that heartbeat, the number is 80% of the time she'll choose life.

But it doesn't happen without you. $28 provides an ultrasound to a woman who desperately needs one. And when you give to pre-born, you're not just saving a baby. You're saving mom, too. You're giving her hope. You're giving her financial support. You're giving her the truth. You're giving her a life free of just a horrific regret.

Preborn has already rescued over 350,000 babies, but there are so many more that need our help. Your tax-deductible gift makes this mission possible. To donate, just dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby, or visit preborn.com slash back. That's preborn.com slash back, sponsored by Preborn. You know, the left's got a roadmap straight off a cliff. Let's take the right trail.

Glenn Beck returns shortly. Uh, there's some cactus that was in India. Uh, it's a natural appetite suppressant. I don't know. I've never heard of it. I don't know how it works, but I will say it is one of the ingredients that the doctors who have developed lean understand a heck of a lot better than I, uh, I have. Um, if you have bold summer weight loss goals, uh,

and injections, maybe just not for you. The doctors who formulated lean have a message for you. This supplement is as close as we've come to the benefits of those popular injections. And just like those injections, lean was created to help maintain healthy blood sugar and help control appetite and cravings and to help burn fat by converting it into energy.

But with lean, there's no needles required. You get no injections, just results. And finding a way to lose weight has always been difficult. But at lean, the doctors have created a healthier way to lose weight by capturing the power of natural ingredients. So why not take advantage of that, especially if you're someone who really like to lose the weight, but you just don't want to do the whole needle thing once a week?

Get started with 20% off right now if you use the code Blaze20 at TakeLean.com. TakeLean.com. The code is Blaze20. As you can see, I obviously am already into summer bathing suit shape. That's just who I am. It's how I exist. It's just how I live. It's how I am. But...

TakeLean.com would actually help you look good, you know, a heck of a lot better than I ever do. Blaze20 is the code. Blaze20 is the code. TakeLean.com. Blaze20 is the code. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

Uh, boy, Stu, I, you know, I can't, uh, I can't figure out what is happening with the right. You know, there are so many people. It just seems like we're being manipulated by China, Russia, and, uh, everybody else that's against the United States, including many of our democratic billionaires and, uh, you know, and, uh, and, and the left. Um, but it, it, it doesn't seem like in the last few weeks, uh,

Everything, everything has been divisive for the right. All of a sudden, there's all these people who are like, hey, wait a minute now. Wait a minute, just a second. This is war, and we can't have that. When they weren't saying that...

Prior to. I mean, some are making good points, and I don't want to... You know, when it comes to the Mike Lee, Mike Lee is saying, he's suggesting that we sell land, but it has to be within two miles of the city. And all of a sudden, everybody's like, we can't sell mountains. Like, wait, what? I mean, it's crazy the way the right is dividing itself right now over things that...

Shouldn't be divisive. Is it just me? No, I think it's the opposite of productive, the way this is being handled. Because it's tied to a lot of accusations, too. It's like, oh, you're just a warmonger with bloodlust being paid by a foreign government. And it's like, I just don't see how any of that is productive. Be adults. I know. Be adults. I know. More in just a second. This is Glenn Beck. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. So as I was doing some research yesterday, I started with ChatGPT or Rock, I can't remember which. And it was amazing. I actually had an argument with it on research. I asked it for some facts and figures, and it said I can't do that. And I said, why?

And it actually said, because I cannot assist you in anything that can be used as half-truths or misleading on something this dangerous. And I said, I didn't ask for half-truths. I asked for stats and I asked for the footnotes on where that information came from.

I mean, I had a back and forth. It was cold and dispassionate, but I wasn't. But it finally gave me the information and we checked it through and made sure that it was accurate and no half-truths. And I want to share with you some of this information that I got from it. But more importantly, what is the message that I want to deliver today?

around this information because we've seen this movie before and we begin there in 60 seconds. Somewhere out there, a guy at a tech company is writing an algorithm to decide what you see, what you buy, what you think, and what you're allowed to disagree with.

He probably has a nose ring and a master's in techno moral ethics, and he's got a desktop that is covered in stickers that say things like, eat the rich, love wins, next to a tax the churches one. And that's who your cell phone bill is helping keep employed. It's not fun to think about it, but unfortunately it's true. You send your money for Verizon,

Well, they turn around and send some of that money to places like Planned Parenthood or other places like that. And there is a solution. You don't want to fund these people. I mean, they already have enough funding through your tax dollars. Now you could switch to Patriot Mobile today. Spend your money a lot better. Same nationwide coverage, same 5G speeds, but different priorities.

Beyond the great service, Patriot Mobile doesn't funnel your money into woke causes. They support the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the unborn, the people who put a uniform on to defend all three. Now, you can keep your number or, you know, your phone, or you can, you know,

Change both of them, but you'll keep your sanity with Patriot Mobile. PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT. 972-PATRIOT. Use the promo code Beck. Get a free month of service. It's PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT. All righty. We've seen this movie before. And, you know, this weekend we struck without any fanfare, just really clarity and resolve.

we struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear facilities. And I want to speak really plainly here. Iran is not just a rogue state. We have a rogue state in North Korea, and it's bad. What Iran is, is the nerve center of Islamic terror.

They give $700 million a year to Hezbollah, $100 million to Hamas. That's almost as much money, I think, as we give to Hamas. They train militias from Gaza to Venezuela. Did you know that Hamas was in Venezuela? Yeah. Why are they training in Venezuela? I think you know the answer to that. The IRGC is the Quds Force, personally loyal to the Ayatollah Khamenei.

They run global assassination plots. They have tentacles across the Middle East, Europe, and now here. They plotted the demise and the assassination of our president, President Trump. I thought it was very restrained of him not to target their leader, seeing that their leader targeted him just last summer.

And while we're sitting here and we're arguing about pronouns and all of the ridiculous things that we are arguing about, they're busy building drone factories in Syria and terror tunnels under Gaza and sleeper cells in the West. We have so many sleeper cells because of Joe Biden.

that our FBI cannot keep up. I have heard, I don't know if this is true, but I have heard this weekend that we can't keep up with the terror cells that we have here in America. It is so out of control that we no longer have time to really track down and stop the terror cells outside of America. So what happened this weekend is we opened a gate.

But I want you to understand, in 2023 alone, the U.S. Border Patrol caught over 8,000 special interest aliens, people from nations linked to terror. And the FBI just lost track of them. Now, they are arresting them in record numbers, from what I understand.

I hope that that is true, and I hope we can catch them before anything happens. But these are not nameless nobodies. They are trained, they are embedded, and they are waiting, not just here in America, but all over the world. And when America pushes back, what happened? The media immediately screams Islamophobia. Why? Because that's a made-up thing in the first place. I think CARE made that up.

Islamophobia. I'm not afraid of Islam. I'm afraid of those who want to impose the Quran and the Hadith on everyone by force. You should have a phobia against that. You should be phobic against that. Let me say this as clearly as I can. This is not about Muslims. This is about Islamists. There is a difference. A Muslim, like a Catholic, practices a faith.

An Islamist imposes a regime, and that is happening here in the United States. A Muslim may pray, forgive, assimilate, but an Islamist believes you must bow or die. That's what I'm against. And I think every American should be that way as well.

Oh, no, but we are just too Islamophobia. We're just too filled with these, with our hatred of anything that is different. Well, do you remember back in the day when we were going after a guy named Osama bin Laden, and at the same time we elected a guy named Barack Hussein Obama? Obama, Osama, Hussein, Saddam Hussein, I mean...

It doesn't seem like, it seems like we can chew gum and walk at the same time. Seems like we can differentiate between the two. That's not bigotry. It's grace because that's who we are. We are a nation that at times is bigoted, at other times has grace, but grace can very easily become suicide. So let me talk to you here about some things that,

Islamism brings in plain sight. In Iran, girls are married as young as nine. Are you for that? Have you seen any of the videos of the young girls that are married off at nine years old and how they leave with their 50-year-old husbands?

In 2024, last year, a bill was advanced in their parliament to codify it again, just to make sure everybody's okay with that. Let's codify it again. In Afghanistan, 53% of the women were married before 18. 21% of the women are married before 15. Honor killings, another super-duper classic from the people who bring you Islamists, right?

They claim 5,000 girls and women every year are burned, strangled, or stoned to death by their own family. In Paris, 77% of the solved rape cases in 2023 involved foreign-born suspects. Why? Because the Hadith says it's okay as long as they're an infidel. You can do whatever you want to them.

In Sweden, over 58% of the convicted rapists were immigrants. In Germany, asylum seekers made up less than 2% of the population, but have 8.5% of the crime suspects. This is not immigration that we're dealing with. This is ideological importation. If you're a Muslim and you're westernized, you fled tyranny because you know this story better than I do.

Because when Islamists take power, they kill you first. They don't come after me first. They kill you first because you have betrayed Islam according to their twisted ideology. Yet you still pray five times a day.

They stone your daughters. They throw your homosexual son off of a rooftop. They burn the apostates like you. They behead converts. They erase liberty. They erase women. They erase all dissent. This is not a faith. This is fascism in a turban. What we are going up against in the world is not a faith.

If anything, if I want to put it into the category of faith, when you're talking about Islamist and Islamism, it is evil. It is the faith of the Antichrist. I'm convinced of it. Now, that doesn't mean Muslims. That means those who want the regime to impose this. And we in the West, America in particular, we are asleep at the wheel. Look at Europe.

But here in America, let's just stick to America for just a second. Our cities are being overrun with anti-Semitic mobs calling for an infatada or intifada. That means basically revolution and a killing of anybody who disagrees with them. Our campuses echo chants from the river to the sea, which means wipe out all Jews. That's what that means, you dopes.

Our government, overwhelmed, can no longer chase Islamic terrorists outside of our borders because they're inside of our borders now. But let me tell you, let me make a warning to both the Islamists and honestly to ourselves. You want to see America unite again? Let one of these mobs or several of these sleeper cells cross the wrong line.

It's one thing to march with a flag and chant death to America. It's another to go into our malls, into our homes, into our schools, into our places of worship and just start killing people. We're divided. But right now there's at least 100 million Americans who know what's at stake. They're wide awake. You start doing this and Americans are not going to follow. Americans are going to stand up against you. Not all.

We have our crazies here too. And it's what we're standing up for is not just our nation. It's our civilization. It's our daughters and their right to live free and unveiled. It's the ability to walk our streets without being told we've provoked our own assault. And let me tell you, I think America is done importing abuse and calling it tolerance. We're done.

I for one will always welcome those who love liberty and want to support and live under the light of liberty. But it's time for us to stop bowing to those who wish to destroy that liberty. And to the Islamists that are here, you might think that we are weak. You might think that we are distracted. But I believe you are terribly wrong. See, we've seen this movie before and it had a different ending.

It went into softness and tolerance and everything else. We didn't know how to define our enemy back then. We just thought, hmm, Muslims, trouble on planes. At least that's the way we were painted. But most of us didn't know anything about the Middle East or Islam or anything else. And we couldn't believe that, you know, they could come over here and do any more than just the hijacking of planes.

We never imagined 25 years ago what could happen to a place like Europe or our own streets. We never ever imagined at the time that we could see hundreds if not thousands of people in the streets fighting and setting fires for communism and Islamism. I was called crazy for saying that this would happen in 2008, 9, 10, 11, 12 years.

And here it is. We've seen this movie before, but I promise you, we've written a new ending. And this is a warning not just for Islamists, but also for all of us. We have got to guard our liberty because they start causing trouble on the streets. I mean real trouble. You start to have a Beslan here and there. We will go fascistic overnight. And we can never become the thing that we despise again.

fighting those things we despise. We have to be very, very careful, but it starts first with moral clarity. Do you believe it's okay for a nine-year-old to be married off in an arranged marriage? I don't. I think it's pretty clear. Do you believe it's okay to stone a woman for adultery, but the guy gets away? Do you believe it's okay to stone anybody to death?

Do you believe it's okay to behead infidels or behead anyone who disagrees with you? You don't have to be a member of Islam. You'll be a communist. Is it okay to line you up against the wall and shoot you because you don't agree with communism? These ideologies have an awful lot in common, and it's all on the dark side and death. The time to think things through is right now.

Most people don't want to even look at this. Most people don't want to think this could even happen. But I urge you to look at what is happening in Europe. I don't know if we're going to do it this week or next week, but I hope the Wednesday night special, either this week or next week, I hope it's this week if we have time, is to show you the footage that is coming out of these mass demonstrations of

and the craziness that is happening over in Europe. You need to see it. I mean, I wrote out a show last night. I'm going to present to the producers today to see if we can pull it off this week. But I don't want to say very much. I just want to show you what's happening all around the world because it is very clear. We have been invaded, and in our tolerance, we are about to lose the Western civilization.

So, Iran, you should be put on notice. You start unleashing these people on our streets. You start coming in here and you start doing terror. What was that Toby Keith? We'll put a boot up your ass. That kind of American will show up again.

in righteous indignation and we will put a boot up your ass because there's at least 100 million of us that are not going to live under that kind of tyranny ever back in a minute first let me tell you about life lock you can lock your doors you can set your camera even get a guard dog that barks every time a leaf falls outside of the window but if your identity isn't protected online you might as well leave the back window open with a sign that says free stuff come get it

You know, Stu, we haven't really seen the Bubba movement really kick in to gear. And I think if we start seeing terror attacks around the country, I worry that America is just not going to take it. They're just not going to take it. And a lot of this bull crap on our streets will end. Will end.

I also worry that they will take it.

So, you know, because it's that's not the right answer either. It's just you shouldn't be breaking the law to me. I mean, the Bubba effect that you've described over the years has some, you know, really negative flares. Very negative. Yeah. Very negative. I warned against the Bubba effect. Of course. I am. I am. I just you know, I'm I'm talking about this today because I want you to think about what is coming. Look at Europe. Think about what is coming. Know what your lines are. We must remain a constitutional republic. And I'm not saying that.

and a God-fearing people. And we must work within the law. But I'll tell you, there are trouble times. They start coming after our kids, and it'll be bad. It will be very bad. But it could destroy the Republic for all time if we're not very, very careful.

So I would pray and spend a lot of time on our knees because God is the only thing that will save this republic. And a spine is the only way he'll be able to fight it using us. This is Glenn Beck.

Okay, I'm going to get into a little conspiracy here, just a little. I know, I know, not my usual style, but bear with me. My theory is this. Gutters were invented by Big Ladder. Okay, hear me out. Stay with me. Think about it. Why else would we be climbing 20 feet into the air twice a year to scoop out slime and leaves and bugs and whatever life form is building a nest in there? And every time, you are one step away from becoming a neighborhood legend. Hey, remember Dave? Yeah, he used to be able to walk.

Okay, that's big ladder or baby pig hospital. I'm not sure. But leaf filter puts an end to all of that. It's a micro mesh system installed right on top of your existing gutters. And once it's in, nothing gets through. No leaves, no gunk, no frog kingdoms growing in your back corners. Nothing.

They come out, they install it, they clean everything up, and then that's it. No more scooping, no more dangerous ladder Olympics, no more trips to the hospital, unfortunately, for any neighbors. Just clean gutters and free time you can use to do literally anything else. Schedule your free inspection and get up to 30% off your entire purchase at leaffilter.com slash glenbeck.

We're glad you're here. Well, I have some good news on the Israeli front and the...

front. You know, I failed to mention this last week, but, you know, the Hamptons were very, very busy with people just like you. I mean, the working class, the working class were brought together, you know, for the marriage of Alex Soros and Huma Abedin, which could there be a better couple? Could there be a better power couple than that? The son of George Soros and Huma Abedin, you know, the

She's practically a daughter to Hillary Clinton. And they were married at the water mill estate of George Soros. And there were private jets in the air all day and Clinton aides galore. And it was just, it was beautiful. Mrs. Clinton and her quote, air quote, husband, Bill Clinton, were there as well as Kamala Harris and her husband and Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and the

Pelosi and then the Rothschilds were there and Anna Wintour was there. It was really, I mean, it was everybody. Everybody that needed to be there to hear Boyz II Men sing right after the nuptials. And I saw they had Truffle

Anglinotti or something. I don't even know what that is, but it has truffles in it. So pigs looked for it. And then, you know, chilled English pea soup and then American Wagyu Bavette, which I don't even know what that is. And grilled prawns. It was served for the whole group.

And they had a convoy of black SUVs that were going and everybody flew on their private jet. So it was very, very ecologically friendly, I should say, you know, and they were going to elope, but they changed their mind because Hillary Clinton said she deserves a big wedding. She deserves that moment. After all, she was married to Wiener for a while. And I don't know what kind of moment. Well, I know what kind of moment they had, you know, at the end, but I don't know what kind of moment they had.

they had at the end, or at the beginning. But what's really exciting, and this is why I wanted to bring it up, is he's Jewish and she's Muslim. And so they had an imam and a rabbi officiating. And if they can get that together, then I think all of us can. I think it's an inspiration. So maybe it's just me, but I...

I find that kind of down to earth kind of, Hey, let's coexist kind of thing. So inspiring, you know, so beautiful. Yeah. What a wonderful couple, you know, I mean, uh,

It's interesting. She's had an interesting history, that Uma Abedin, you know, big aid to Hillary Clinton for many, many years. What do you mean? The closest aid possible to Hillary Clinton. Mary to Anthony Weiner, who you may remember had a bit of an issue here and there. Not humiliating at all. No, not at all. She...

Yeah, yeah, with underage kids. Sure, sure. You know, it's certainly an issue, you know. And then, you know, it's funny because there is a pretty direct... I mean, it may not be the first thing that jumps out to everybody. No, not everybody. Not everybody. Certainly on the left. The thing that would probably honestly pop up in... There's so many directions I wanted to go there with this. But the thing that would actually anger the left probably the most...

was that there's a pretty direct line you could draw from Uma Abedin to Donald Trump becoming president of the United States in that the entire Hillary email scandal comes to us from Anthony Weiner's laptop. One of the reasons why we knew about it in the first place was because of

Anthony Weiner's laptop, which we only knew about because he was texting... Could you stop saying Anthony Weiner's laptop? It just sounds bad. Go ahead. Go ahead. I'm sorry. She was the one there. And she's, I guess, at some level seen as a victim, but part of the reason why...

those emails were known was because she was forwarding campaign emails. If I remember the story, right. It was campaign emails and other emails that were supposed to be not on a private server forwarding to her husband, which then people discovered when they were looking for his communications with 12 year olds. So the whole issue was kind of right. There's a direct line there. And he had all those emails. He had all those emails on his privates.

Again, I don't know why you're going down that road exactly, but usually when you have, when you're potentially responsible for part of an issue that puts Donald Trump in the White House, you're excommunicated from polite democratic territory. She, however, has been embraced and brought into the Soros camp of all things. So wonderful existence for her. And, you know, as a true warrior for income inequality, I'm so glad these things are happening for her.

Me too. Me too. And warriors for global warming and incoming equality. And they're so passionate about the Middle East. And here they are coming together and just showing us how it can all be done. And that is great. And it's perfect for people who live in New York. They deserve each other. Because if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

I don't know if you know that, Stu. I've heard that. And I think we've proven that. Yeah, there's a singer that did that, but I think we've proven that. If we could make it there, you know, and get out alive, we could make it anywhere. And I think that's great. And, you know, the good news is New York is only going to get weirder with this next election. When is the election? We're in the primaries now, right?

In New York, this is the primary, but is largely believed to be the election because it's going to be, there's going to be, you know, it's, I mean, Adams is running as an independent now.

The current mayor, who does not seem to have any chance of winning, certainly a Republican, God forbid. I mean, when have they ever elected a Republican that was a good mayor in New York City? That would be crazy. But anyway, they decided... Julie Ani. Oh, all the successful ones?

The successful ones, the ones that turned the city around and made it work. Yeah, it's odd that they would do that. But yeah, it does seem like he has no chance. They don't like him anymore. They don't like Republicans. So it does seem like this is basically the election. I mean, there's a small chance that that could turn around. Like if a Cuomo were to win and another scandal were to occur, who knows what could happen, I guess. But that is largely believed to be the actual matter. Which one...

Which one are you for? The one that murdered people in the nursing homes during COVID or the one who just threw his weight behind Hamas? I'm for... Because it's a tough choice. The candidate, you got to scroll down a little bit to see it, but it's called U-Haul. And I can get off the island as fast as possible would be my particular vote. If it needs to be by jumping off the George Washington Bridge, fine. Rather than voting for one of these two idiots, I...

It is a terrible, terrible choice. There's nobody there in that primary. Horrible. They're all horrible. But one is at least you kind of know he's going to kill your grandparents. He's done it before. He'll probably do it again. He'll lock you down if he has to. But the other one is a really unknown. I mean, you're throwing your weight behind Hamas. I don't know. I think that carries an extra little...

Kind of surprise. You know, the guy who praised, you know, the Holy Land Foundation, the guy who's seemingly on the side of Hamas is to me a known. You know, a lot of people are saying he's unknown because he's not particularly experienced in the world of politics, which is true. Oh, my God.

This is not important. This is what I was talking about. This is Islamophobia, exactly what I was talking about. I don't think that's Islamophobia at all, actually. Really? Glenn, let's take it out of the Hamas angle, which seemed to be his only pursuit leading up to this, with the exception of socialism. And this is a guy who is, in his advertisements, currently...

New York City owned grocery stores to be popping up across the city. Finally. Finally. Finally we can do Venezuela. I can't wait. That's going to sound wonderful. Yes.

It's funny, like I know a lot of people who can't stand Andrew Cuomo. If you go to AndrewCuomoisawful.com, that explains my views on Andrew Cuomo. And most of the people that I know who are in the unfortunate position of trying to root for an actual winner and live there,

are for Cuomo. I mean, to tell you, that is unbelievable. The man's literally, you know, arguably murdered people in the city. And I'm talking about the actual victims of his COVID policy, not the ones he probably actually additionally murdered with his own hands or groped with his own hands, allegedly. So, you know, outside, you'd think...

Anyone but Cuomo would be a rational response to this election. But with Mondani in it, I don't know that it is. And it's New York. There is a new poll out from WPIX in New York, a local poll that tried to actually pull out the ranked choice voting situation here. And I'm pretty skeptical of the ability of, and I like polls more than most people, perhaps in an unhealthy way.

And... No, not Anthony Weiner. Not... I'm sorry, did I say that? See, again, you're the one bringing us down these dark roads. But, like, I'm pretty skeptical of polling ability to be able to... Sure. ...navigate eight rounds of ranked choice voting. I am on record as being skeptical of that. He loses, Mamdani loses, the first seven rounds of ranked choice voting in this poll. Now, it's certainly possible Mamdani could pull this off in this way, but...

I am pretty skeptical that they're able to sort this out like this. So wait, you're saying that he's either number one and nobody's number two.

So the way ranked choice voting works, you can vote up to all these candidates. I think they can name five in the New York City system. So the first round has Cuomo at 36.4 and Mamdani at 33.7. Now that's closer than most polls have it in the first round. Then as the other candidates get taken off, the lowest ranked candidate gets eliminated. Those votes are then applied to the next candidate in the rankings.

Mamdani slightly closes the gap with each round, but doesn't actually catch Cuomo until round eight, which

He's still losing in round seven by 0.9 points. And then when the last third candidate gets eliminated and those votes are applied, finally, Mamdani wins and pulls it off by three points. I mean, I'm pretty skeptical that you're going to be able to project that, though. That's really, really difficult to successfully project. And most polling shows...

that Cuomo is ahead by a lot more than three points in that initial round. So I'd still put Cuomo as the significant favorite, but I don't think it's impossible that this socialist actually wins. But how many people that would vote for, you know, just a killer would turn around then if he were the candidate and vote for him?

And not at least just sit at home or switch and say, I can't let that guy become. I mean, do you think the others will vote for him? The other Democrats would vote for him? I mean, I would think that in a sane world, people would go, yeah, I'm not going to. No, the guy who wants to do all the.

of grocery stores and put a bullet in the head of that, likes communism and thinks Hamas is neat, might not be the best guy for the city. Yeah, I think that's where New Yorkers finally land. I think they will be like, ah, let's just take the guy who's going to be corrupt and potentially murder all of our grandparents. I think that's probably where they land, but it's a close call. Oh, man. I love New York. I don't know why we stopped wearing those t-shirts.

By the way, a t-shirt you can get is No King But Christ. It is an old

Turn and turn, you know, a founding fathers kind of phrase and image. It's the skull and crossbones with a crown floating over the skull. And it says no king but Christ. It is a new T-shirt from for me and my program. You can get it now at Glenn Beck dot com. Also sign up for the free email newsletter. We have some really exciting things coming soon.

You're an idiot. If you go like, why am I? Let me just tell you. I used to have pain in my hands so bad. I really thought I was going to have to retire from my job.

Oh, there is so much we didn't get a chance to get to. We're just going to have to pile it on tomorrow. And I want to hear your point of view tomorrow on this whole thing. We'll open up the phones tomorrow, wide open, so your voice could be heard. But, I mean, you know, I don't know. I mean, we might have Martians, you know, appear in the skies tonight. I mean, anything could happen at this point. You know, I would be...

Stu, maybe I'm wrong. I think I would be for the Martians. I think I'd be like, okay, bring it on.

I mean, yeah, I'm ready. We know how we're going to run things. We don't know how Martians would run things. And I think at this point, you just take the risk. You roll the dice. I mean, that's what they're doing in New York, right? Yeah. Just give it a whirl, right? Yeah. You got the Hamas guy. You got the killer of your grandparents and an alien. And I don't mean a legal alien. I mean, an alien alien from another planet. What to do, New York? What to do?

Give it a shot. Who knows? I mean, if there was an actual alien on the ballot, I do think they'd be the favorite. I know if I lived in New York and those were my choices, that's who I'd vote for. I can't pronounce his name. It's kind of like... But I'm going for him. This is Glenn Beck.
