Glenn Beck (85:29)

At Z Factor, you need a good night's sleep every night.

It's a free email newsletter@glenn beck.com gives you all the stories of the day that I look at. We get to a fraction of them, but they're all the stories that my staff and I are following every day and we think are important for you to see, to understand the world in which we live. So what are the, what are the stories that came out today that I think we need to pay attention to? And some of these happen, you know, during the week. They've been unfolding during the week. So let's look at the week here. For years, the Southern Poverty Law center acted as America's self appointed moral referee. They have been a bane of our existence for, for years and years and years. One label from them, they label you a hate group. And lives were ruined. Bank accounts were closed, companies canceled, contracts, reputations destroyed. No trial, no evidence, no appeal. Just their voice. That's the verdict. That's the truth. Well, finally this week, the DOJ announced that they are under federal indictment. And I want to be really careful here because I got a million axes to grind with these guys. But I want to stay focused on what the government said. They did a $3 million fraud scheme. What they did was they routed money under fake names, opening fake bank accounts, hiding payments from donors and cooking the books while they preached morality to everybody else. Now the media is trying to spin this as they were just paying off, you know, people, you know, in the neo Nazi group to, to help them, you know, infiltrate. Well, you can't do that as a 5:1. If you're the FBI, you can do that. But if you're a 501C3, you don't have the right to do. You can't open fake bank accounts, you can't fake wire transfers. That's what the whole Patriot act is all about. Okay, you can't do it. But the media spinning this into a nothing burger, and if it goes nowhere, charges of banking fraud. If those are real and it goes nowhere, we're screwed. But even if half of the stuff that the government is alleging is true, this was the group claiming to expose Nazis and extremism. And they may have played a big part in manufacturing some of it. I mean, look, hate exists, Nazis exist, racist, all of that exists. But they helped keep it going. They made it into a bigger racket and they advertised, you know, the referee was rigging the game so that credibility should be gone from everybody. But it's not. It's not. But notice this week that Everything is beginning to wobble a bit. Perhaps. Perhaps some now on the left are seeing why the left or some on the right are seeing why the left reacted the way they did to Elon Musk and Tarp. Okay? They couldn't get them out of Washington fast enough. They were burning down his businesses. Okay? Why? We now know if you follow the money, the entire house of cards comes down. Officials are now estimating that now listen to this. Between 2018 and 2022, $2 trillion were lost to fraud and corruption. We have a budget debt of 40 trillion. But in those four years, and that was before things really got going, in those four years alone, they added $2 trillion to that debt. Are you kidding me? If we could just do TARP and get rid of all of this corruption, we would be able to pay down that debt pretty quickly. Instead of adding, take the $2 trillion and pay down. This is always what happens when the ends justify the means. Truth, integrity, theft, even murder don't matter as long as it serves the higher purpose of what? The destruction of America and the Western world. You saw that last week with Swalwell. Didn't matter. As long as he was helping them, he could get away with anything. The minute he started hurting them, he was out. Ends justify the means. And this same twisted thinking is everywhere. Listen to this story in Houston and we'll have more on this because this is a new story and we don't have all the details yet, but in Houston, two teenage girls. Two teenage girls were charged with plotting to ram a synagogue and kill as many Jews as possible. That's a quote from them. Now, thank God they were stopped. And let's see what the court's going to do to these two girls. But let me just point this out. A society, a culture, is lost when the nurturing class becomes the killer class. Understand that, guys, they are violent by nature. They are the protectors. Women are the nurturers. When women become a killer class, your culture is over. But again, why? Why are they becoming a killer culture? Because the ends justify the means. At UC Berkeley this week, students erupted in applause for a failed Palestine suicide bomber who spoke at Political Prisoners Day. He was trying to kill himself. He failed. And they brought him on to speak and they held him up as a hero. And at the same time, the New York Times this week gave airtime to voices claiming shoplifting is a valid form of political protest. I just said ends justify the means. That leads to theft, to lies, to murder. You just seen it this week, and this isn't Disconnected madness. This is what happens when a society lets grievance culture rewrite morality because you've been wronged. You can do this. Those that's all of the seven deadly sins all wrapped up into that. Okay. Harm becomes negotiable when you can base it on who's doing it. Good and evil get flipped and who pays the price? Your children's future civilization collapses and look how it's collapsing. Let's look this week at the cities that have been swallowed by this whole, whole, swallowed whole. New York. Zoran Mandani. He stood outside of Ken Griffin's building grinning about. I'm taxing the rich. I'm going to make them pay. So what did Citadel do? What was the richest response? That's okay. We're just not going to invest the $6 billion redevelopment project that would have created 6,000 construction construction jobs and 15,000 permanent ones. That's not a threat. That's capital walking through the door. That's capital saying, okay, we don't have to do that. So now who gets hurt? 6,000 construction jobs. Mondavi doesn't care about those people. He cares about the elites. He cares about the, you know, the Columbia educated. He didn't care about the construction workers, the 15,000 permanent jobs. I don't even know what those jobs are. Did they have, do they need a college degree? Does he care about those guys? Think of that. 20,000 jobs, one fell swoop. Now meanwhile, let me white pill you here. On the flip side, red states like Texas and Florida are doing something that would have sounded crazy. In fact, I said it two decades ago. I said it what, 17 years ago. You're going to see people. And when you see states start to stockpile their gold, we're going to be in real trouble. Well, Florida and Texas are now protecting themselves because of the $40 trillion in debt, the reckless spending, the out of control ideas that are coming if we lose the next two elections. It's coming and at least two states know this has got to stop. So they're, they're bringing their gold back. I'm going to get into that next week. That's way important. You, if your state's not doing it, it should. Meanwhile, Virginia is staring down a Democrat drawn congressional map that could lock in one party progressive rule and turn it into California 2.0. It's almost already there. Higher taxes, more homelessness, open border spending. We've seen this movie before. I don't know what's wrong with people, but okay, whatever. And now they're saying well, Florida should do it. Well, nobody wins on this gang. Once you open this, no one wins. The rule of law goes out the window. Now the same pressure is hitting America's adversaries abroad. I showed you yesterday what's happening in Canada. They're no longer a free nation, as we've always understood Canada to be free. It's not. And it doesn't look like there's anything that's going to slow them down. Pray for the people of Alberta. Quite frankly, that might do the trick. Maybe, Maybe in the Middle East. We're told today by some podcasters that Trump's cease fire doesn't make any sense. Wait, he's expanded it by two weeks. Wait, first you said no troops and stop the killing. So when he does stop the killing, you what, you want him to start killing again? I. I'm confused. I can't follow your. Your logic here. I can't. Which is it? Do you want him to do war or not do war? You want him to negotiate with teeth or not negotiate with teeth? I. I don't. I don't get it. But so, you know, everything we said we, we're probably doing, it looks like we are doing now we're negotiating and we're bleeding them dry of their oil. Of their oil. President Trump also expanded the Israel Lebanon cease fire another three weeks. He has carriers in the region. He has ordered the navy to shoot and kill any Iranian boats that are laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. It's not like those old mines with the spikes on them and stuff. These are down underneath the water. But he sunk most of their submarines, if not all of them. Uh, but he's made it clear nuclear weapons are not going to be allowed. And the first time in years, bad actors are facing real consequences instead of, you know, pallets full of cash on their airport tarmac. Their economy is collapsing. Some people say it has days before they have to shut down the oil wells. And if that happens, no income. No income. They're over no income already. Their GDP is down over 40% because of the last couple of weeks. This is bad. The Supreme Leader burned, disfigured, losing control. Now I guess the people even more hardline than he is, but I don't know what a mullah who's gay. I mean, how hardline they are. I hate to use that phrase. But now some bad news. The parliament speaker just quit the negotiating team. The regime is cracking. Still talking tough, but the hardliners seem to be gaining power. But we don't know for sure. The. The. The. The news today that came out right before I came on the show is they are sending their team to Pakistan to actually engage in talks this week. So we could see again another Friday where I say to you, let's see, maybe it's peace by Monday, maybe not. China is also feeling the news. It's tightening on their energy supply lines from Venezuela to Iran, Caribbean, all of that. The administration is accusing now Beijing of industrial scale campaigns to steal AI from America. This is huge. Huge. And we're not just talking tough to protect ourselves. We're actually finally taking real action against China, carrying a big stick but not using the full force of it yet because we don't want to do that back home. Also this week, you should know real enforcement is returning. Governor Abbott has cut a deal with Houston to honor ICE warrants after threatening to withhold 100, $114 million in state grants. Good borders are. Tom Homan has invited Pope Leo. Come along with ice. Come with us on some of these raids so you can see the border and what we're doing with your own eyes. And please, Pope Leo, I have no problem with the Catholics or you. I don't want to fight with any of them. But please don't tell us that the Muslims are not a problem and we. And we shouldn't worry about that. Your Vatican walls were built to keep the Muslim invaders out of Vatican City. So please, learn your own history and don't lecture us about politics. Yours is God, not politics. Federal agents just dismantled major pieces of the Mexican mafia in Southern California. Dozens arrested, prison leadership hit, Drugs, guns, extortion. All these networks taken down. That's good news. And all of this connects to what. We're making. Progress. The institutions that lied to us are losing their grip. The moral confusion they spread is being exposed in real time. Don't get me wrong. We are not killing them. We are wounding them. But if you go after the king, you better make sure you take the king out. They are not out, not by a long shot. But yesterday, the Tides foundation finally found themselves in the scope of law enforcement. But they're going to fight back. And in the end, they're so old and. And exposed now, they might just morph instead of die, but the economic consequences of bad ideas are starting to hit hard. And the enemies who grew bold during the years of weakness are suddenly under real pressure. Unfortunately, so are you. I told you before, it's a race to the finish line. I pray JD Vance and the new AG are going to be working hard and Fast to stop the bleed of half a trillion dollars a year in corruption. Imagine. Imagine if we weren't giving this money away to NGOs and Somalis and illegals who were funneling all this money through NGOs, 501C3s and Democratic platforms. Imagine what you could do with that money. But this is a stress test for the country. Some things are cracking, some things are holding. But I want you to know, while we're making progress, nothing is set in concrete yet. Everybody who is working to destroy us, everybody who hates Trump, needs him and anyone who thinks like him out. If we can keep the House and the Senate and we can Somehow win in 2028, we have a chance of killing this virus. I mean, this is a virus that. I mean, this has the Republic on a Covid. Vent. We're not off the vent yet. We have to stay vigilant, even with our own side. The House gop, the FISA extension without warrant requirement should worry every single American who values liberty. Liberty. Make no mistake. Make no mistake. We have to stand against our own side at. At the same time. But also, don't make the mistake of saying the world is in chaos. It's not. Part of the world is trying to create chaos. Social media will think that everything Trump is doing is chaos. It is not. It's a reckoning. It's a sorting out what is true and what was built on lies. What survives this moment is what will build on or rebuild on. And the choice is still ours to make. All right, more in just a second.
