A lot of financial stress doesn't come from one bad decision. It comes from a bunch of old decisions that no longer fit your life. You know, interest rates that made sense years ago, monthly payments that felt manageable at the time. And then the debt just kept piling up and stacking up in the background. And because none of that happened all at once, most people just live with it and they adjust and they juggle and then they're sitting there like, I don't know how to make this work. That's where American Financing comes in. That's why they exist, to interrupt that cycle. They'll help you step back, look at the full picture and see where your mortgage and your debt structure are actually serving you and where it's working against you. For some people, that just means home equity to pay off some high interest debt. For others, it means lowering your monthly payments or restructuring things in a way that you will finally create some breathing room. This isn't about a quick fix or a sales pitch.

I want to put a photo up in case you happen to be watching Glenn Beck dot com. It's a photo of somebody putting a flag on top of the statue of Khomeini over the weekend. And if you look at this photo, you will see that. I mean, that is. That's iconic. Really. Look at that. If the media were doing their job, that would be on the COVID of Time magazine. That would be on that. Be everywhere. That's an iconic photo. And it is somebody standing on top of the statue of the Ayatollah Khomeini raising up the old original Iranian flag with the. With the lion in the center. Okay? That would be leading every newscast. It'd be looping on cable news, debated, dissected, argued over, all of this stuff. Instead, all we get is nothing but silence on that. You most likely haven't seen that picture before. It was up on X and then it just went away. The reason why this photo is so important is because the man is standing on the regime itself. This is entirely different. Jason was telling me he put in without any information. He put in, you know, if you had a regime like this into Georgia, if you had a regime like this, what should you do? Should you. Should a country get involved or not? Yada, yada. And George, you know, doesn't know anything past, I think, 1820. So it talked about the French Revolution, and it's, you know, you got to be careful of people on the ground because you never know what their real intent is. You don't want to get involved in things, but I think you know what the real intent is. With people that are in Iran right now standing up, they're very, very, very clear. This is not graffiti. It's not vandalism. It's not a protest about gas prices or high prices. It is a civilizational divorce. And the rest of the world is pretending not to see it because it doesn't fit their narrative. You know, if this were Black Lives Matter, a riot over someplace else. I'm sorry, not a riot. Mostly peaceful protest. They were burning London. They were burning any city anywhere in the world. The press would be breathless. Look at the bravery of these people. Yet these people are actually risking their life in a country where they're going to be killed. If the regime. If the regime does not fall, all of these people are going to be scooped up and killed. If this was a pro Gaza mob, shutting down airports, screaming at Jewish students, or. Or climbing a statue of George Washington, they would be the voice of the oppressed. But here we're dealing with something far more dangerous. Here we have people rejecting an entire ideological project of the modern left. That's why they don't want to talk about this. That's why this movement terrifies them. Because what you're witnessing happening every day in Iran is not just a mere uprising. This is not just a revolt against a dictator. This is a rejection of political Islam itself, a rejection of clerical rule itself, a rejection of an Islamic government, a rejection of the idea that faith should be enforced at the gunpoint of the state. And most importantly, it is a rejection of the strange. Makes no sense. Red Green alliance, ok? The red Green alliance is this holy marriage between, you know, radical leftists, the Red, and the Islamist movement, the Green, they don't match at all. For instance, Rick Renell was on X yesterday, and he tweeted something. He goes in and he rescues and helps people escape. If you're, you know, gay or lesbian or whatever, and you're in Iran, you gotta get out of there. And so he has, for a long time helped people get out of Iran and escape, because they're going to be thrown off a building and they're going to be butchered in the public square because of their sexual preference. It's an abomination. You don't hear anybody on the left talking about that. You don't hear anybody talk about Rick Riddell, what a great guy he is, saving the lives of people. But anyway, I digress. The point is, on X, he said, for the first time ever, I've gotten a lot of people out of Iran. For the first time ever, he was told by somebody of the LGBTQ alliance, wait, wait, wait. I want to wait here a bit longer. Wait I can get you out now. I want to wait a bit longer. First time that's ever happened. He said, there's real hope happening from within side the country, not outside. It's happening within. And he said, I don't think you can stop the collapse of this regime at this point. From his mouth to God's ears, because that starts to dismantle a lot. Remember this? This starts to dismantle the chalkboard I put up at Fox in 2000. Islamists, communists, socialists, will all work together, okay, to destabilize the. The Middle East, Europe, and then eventually the United States. They're doing all of that. But this is the first time I'm seeing it maybe beginning to fall. The Iranian people, last time, they were chanting for Marx because it was the Marxist that helped them get the cleric, Ayatollah Khomeini back into power. By the way, just. Just a quick side note, I'm sure it doesn't mean anything to Marxists now, but you know what happened? All those Marxists, the clerics killed all of those Marxists, okay? You're a useful idiot, you dope. Like they're gonna tolerate you, all right? They're not tolerate. They're not chanting for Marx. They're not chanting for the Muslim Brotherhood. They're chanting for Iran, a free Iran. There was a post by a woman in Iran that was on X, and she said, don't misunderstand what you're seeing. This is not reform. This is rejection. We're not asking for a better Islam. We're rejecting Islamic rule altogether. That's key. And that's why you don't see the left helping on this at all. How can you stand with your hands in your pockets, LGBTQ community? How can you stand with your hands in your pockets when, you know gays and lesbians are killed? They are slaughtered in the streets because they have a different sexual preference. You stand with your hands in your pockets, you're actually shouting down the President of the United States. They're going to name a street after Donald Trump. I guarantee it. They'll name a street after Donald Trump because all of the leftists that we've had in power since Jimmy Carter, they keep their hands in their pockets and their mouth shut, and they don't do anything. And people have lived, women have lived under this oppression, and enough is enough. They're saying this system belongs to us, not you. They're saying Islam as a governing ideology is incompatible with their history, their culture, their future, because they want to be part of the Western world. And they're the only group of people that are actually doing it. It's amazing. But I'll tell you, it's blasphemy to the, the Western left because if the Iranian people, actual brown people, actual Muslims, actual victims of imperial theocracy, are rejecting Islamic rule, then the entire narrative on the left collapses. If Islam isn't liberation, then what exactly have the pro Hamas protesters been cheering for? Hmm? Do you know when that collapses? Do you know how many stories. Oh, I'm personally going to go over and get. Do you know the stories that we're going to hear from people about what that's like? This is going to destroy this movement. And here's what, here's what is interesting. I told you this on Monday. One of the other things that was happening over the weekend was Democrats, people who until recently bent over backwards to excuse or Santa sanitize pro Hamas demonstrations say, now that's not what they mean when they say river to the sea. What exactly do they mean then? They condemned Hamas publicly, strongly on X. Jerry Nadler did it. Uh, AOC did it. Suddenly the. The protesters that are condemning and heckling Jews, suddenly they're drawing lines. No, that's not that. No. What, what is that all about? The alliance is cracking. This should give you real hope as we are fighting Sharia law here as we are, make no mistake. What do you think is really going on in Minnesota in that Somali community? You think there's no Sharia courts in that Muslim community in Minneapolis? Oh, you bet there is. You bet there is. There's no go zones. Everything that's coming out of Iran exposes the lie. And I will bet you that we will find that there is lots of leftist money going in to help stabilize the regime. Betcha I will bet you the rainy. The Iranian people are ripping a mask off of this lie and they're saying, we know exactly what an Islamic government looks like. We've lived under it for 45 years. We want no part of it. You imagine what a free Persian people is going to do, what they're going to do for Europe when they start telling their stories. Guys, I don't care what you say. You have no idea. We just lived under it for 45 years. There's a poison in your civilization and you've got to chase it out. It's pretty amazing. And how can you claim all these people who are claiming that they are standing for it? Listen, they're standing for. They're standing up for the people. Are they? Because in with ice they're standing up. They're telling people that I shouldn't go in and get people who forcibly raped children, who murdered people. How are you standing up for our society? You don't want that picked up off the streets. What, you're. You're standing up for Hamas, which did the same thing. You're standing up for Hezbollah, which does the same thing. You're. You're not standing up for the Persian people who are just saying as women, I don't want to wear the burka anymore. I want to be free. I want to choose my own way. You're. You're not standing up for gays who are being slaughtered in Iran. I. Boy, I don't know how you even. Well, you don't. I was going to say I don't even know how you make that case, but you don't. You don't. That's why they stopped making it over the weekend with aoc. They started backing up from it because it's going to topple. The regime is going to topple and so is the red. The red green alliance. It's going to topple. It's going to. It has to. Because it's all a lie. All of it. This, this movement tells us identity politics is a lie. Culture actually matters. History actually matters. Faith cannot be coerced. And it also says the West's not wrong about a lot of things. And that's dangerous. And that's why the media is looking away. But we shouldn't. That man on that statue, he's doing what many of us don't have the courage to do. Thank God, many of us don't have to do it yet. But think of the courage it took for him to go up there and do it. He's standing on tyranny. He's reclaiming their Persian identity. He is choosing nation over ideology. He's waving a flag that says, we existed before you and we're going to exist long after you are in the dustbin of history. And that should haunt every tyrant. History is moving and we are lucky enough to be alive to observe it and hopefully help shape it. As a gun owner, I understand the importance of being prepared. But it is crucial to recognize that according to law enforcement statistics, 99% of all altercations do not require lethal force. That's why I endorse Burna. I believe in the power of the gun. But a less than lethal self defense tool is Burna. And it is great. My children have it. They're all over 18. I have takes away all of the worry about the legal ramifications of what would happen. And it puts the power back into your hands that you're willing to use legal in all 50 states. No background check permits, no waiting periods. You'd have one shipped straight to your door, providing peace of mind where and when you need it most. I own Burna Launchers and you should too. Burner launchers, hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana by proud American company. The people at Burner believe in our right to defend ourselves and providing options that align with responsible and effective stopping power. Burna by r n a.com byrna.com/glenn now back to the podcast. You're listening to the Best of the Glenn Beck Program. You know the guy who really started this all. I mean, we have been hearing about the fraud in Minnesota for a long time. And local people have exposed it, others have exposed it, but Nick Shirley actually got out and made it personal. Made it something that you could experience and see by going to these, you know, leering centers where there, where there were no children leering in them. And, and in this, the fraud was exposed. Well, that made big, big news when that first came out. There is part two coming out probably maybe about 90 minutes. Nick's working on the final edits of it now. He's here to tell us about what's coming. Hi, Nick.
