Jason Buttrell (20:42)

This is what we expected when Russia targeted Ukraine. Exactly how this happened, this is what we expected. But Russia's not a modern military. I don't know how many militaries in the world are modern. After analyzing what happened last night, what Israel did was amazing. I've never seen this, Glenn. I was looking at this for an hour, but it felt like analyzing war plans that are supposed to go on for an entire week. That's what they did in about 60 minutes, which included over 200 warplanes hitting precision targets. And my military mind was thinking, okay, this is how conventional warfare looks. They're first softening up. They're hitting. Because at first there was no reports of hitting the nuclear sites. And I was like, well, they're hitting.

Stu Burguiere (21:26)

Anti air capability, communications are taking out electricity, all that stuff.

Jason Buttrell (21:31)

But then we started seeing the precision strikes. Now just a few of the names we know, some of the nuclear or the, the nuclear scientists were hit. Yeah, but they're Iran's chief of staff of the armed forces. Basically their chief of staff taken out within about 60 minutes.

Stu Burguiere (21:46)

And that one was like, somebody had to see him go into his house, right?

Jason Buttrell (21:51)

Oh yeah.

Stu Burguiere (21:52)

Like, I mean they hit these people as they arrived at places. It was, they had to have somebody on the ground saying he's there, hit him now.

Jason Buttrell (22:01)

Assets on the ground, amazing. Targeting them.

Stu Burguiere (22:04)

Amazing.

Jason Buttrell (22:05)

And then so another one, their central headquarters deputy chief of staff, he's gone. It's not a good time in, you know, in modern history to be a chief of their irgc.

Stu Burguiere (22:16)

Good.

Jason Buttrell (22:16)

Soleimani was taken out by a while back. Now the new one, General this is, his name is awesome. General Salami. So he's not a specific Salami, he's just the General Salami General. General Salami.

Stu Burguiere (22:29)

Yeah, yeah.

Jason Buttrell (22:29)

He, he's taking out. Taken out. I mean, all the hardliners, they were taking out.

Stu Burguiere (22:34)

Mrs. Pepperoni, Ms. Pero is still at large. All right, okay, good.

Jason Buttrell (22:39)

All the people that were around for the original revolution, you know, the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, 79 of 79, they are getting systematically just taken out.

Stu Burguiere (22:48)

That's great.

Jason Buttrell (22:49)

It's crazy.

Stu Burguiere (22:51)

It's my understanding that the. The mullahs put out an order, everybody stay in your house.

Jason Buttrell (22:57)

I don't think it's going to help.

Stu Burguiere (22:58)

Yeah, I know, but they're telling everybody, stay in your house, because they're afraid the people will rise up because they have been so weakened. And the people hate this regime. They hate this regime. And the Democrats do everything they can to, you know, prop this regime up. I don't want to go to war. I do not want to fight Israel's war. But, wow, what they did last night was phenomenal. This is Glenn Beck. And we'll continue that conversation because what was our involvement? I have a few suspicions on that one coming up. You know, when the dollar starts to crack, the people who get hurt first are the ones who did everything right. The savers, the retirees, the families just trying to protect what they've built. That's why I've been talking about gold and silver for years now. And that's why I trust Lear Capital. By the way, have we seen. Can you tell me the price of oil? It went up 9.

Jason Buttrell (23:53)

It's about 75. Up 10%.

Stu Burguiere (23:55)

10%. Okay. Well, it's better than it could have been. The people who have been helping you move a portion of your savings into physical precious metals, they are the people that can really help you. I mean, look at history. The people that did that, they stored things safely and they were in your control, and they rolled over things and just got into assets that they could have on hand. Start having something that will last. I want you to call Lear Capital right now. They'll walk you through every single step. Call them right now. The number is 800-957-Gold. 800, 957, Gold.

Glenn Beck (24:42)

Ms. Part of the show, go to the Glenn Beck podcast. You got you covered. Listen anytime@glennbeck.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Stu Burguiere (25:13)

So what was our involvement in the bombing of Iran? Well, I will tell you this. A good negotiator never bluffs. Never, never. He tells you exactly what you know cards he's holding in his hand. You know, you can guess. I guess you know, you can. You can play that and you can look for his twitchy eye. But he'll tell you what he's going to do. Look, we're going to do this and I'm going to be in his case, in Donald Trump's case, he said to Iran, you have 60 days, you have 60 days to come to the table and make a deal. And I'm here all the time. I'll take your phone call day and night. And we've sent people over and we were negotiating with them. And he kept saying the whole time, you got 60 days. And, and you know, he kept saying to Benjamin Netanyahu, nope, nope, nope, don't do anything. I'm negotiating with him. Don't, don't, don't. Uh, and held Benjamin Netanyahu off on bombing until the end of day 60. And last night before the bombing, he made a statement. There's still time for them to negotiate. They obviously didn't get that message, didn't call. Uh, and Israel launches, right after midnight, they start launching an assault on them. And then what does Donald Trump say today? Donald Trump, I mean, this is, this is him 15 hours ago. We, we are committed to a diplomatic resolution to an Iran nuclear issue. My entire administration has been directed to negotiate with Iran. They could be a great country, but they must first completely give up hopes of obtaining nuclear weapon. Thank you for your attention. This matters then. Just this morning, I gave Iran a chance, a chance after chance after chance to make a deal. I told them in the strongest words to just do it. But no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn't get it done. I told them it would be much worse than anything they know or anticipated or were told. And the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the world by far. And that Israel has a lot of it with much more to come and they know how to use it. Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen. They're all dead now. And it will only get worse. There has already been a great deal of death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter. With the next already planned attacks being more brutal come to an end, Iran must make a deal before there is nothing left and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction. Just do it before it's too late. Two months ago, I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to make a deal. They should have done it. Today is day 61. That is a good negotiator, quite honestly. He held the enemies of Iran at bay, who were going to do it because it's Israel. And when they feel threatened, they're going to do what they have to do. And I support them in that. But he held them back for 60 days. And on day 61 or the, you know, the morning of day 61, they go in. And I think Donald Trump knew their plans. I think he was aware of them. I think they ran him by him. I don't, you know, I, I, I don't think that he was, this was just a setup for him to say, you know what? And then on day 61, I think he actually wanted a deal. This is new. Israeli officials say Trump's approval of the Iran attack. We had a clear US Green light. Adding reports of Trump restraining Israel. They were planted to deceive while Trump and Netanyahu coordinated the attack in private. I don't think that's true. I don't, I don't think, I think we were absolutely involved, and I don't think that it was meant to deceive. I think if they would have come to the table with a deal, Trump would have said, take it, Benjamin Netanyahu. No, I think he would have. He hates war. Hates it.

Jason Buttrell (29:28)

This, what was really weird was the 24 to 48 hours before all this happened, the very public leaks of the US Pulling out diplomatic personnel, putting every embassy on high alert. That seemed very odd to me and very coordinated with Pete Hegseth going in front of Congress and saying they are now actively going forward towards a nuclear weapon. Everything happening right at that time, at least if they, if we're taking out the deceive stuff, if anything, it was meant to, this is pushing towards a diplomatic deal. And if not, you're going to get.

Stu Burguiere (30:05)

The world is not used to. I know this, too. How many times has this, has this come to bite people in the ass that work with me? I will negotiate something or I will be talking about something, and I will say, because I learned. What is it worth to you now? Know that it's not worth a penny more, it's not worth a second more of your time. Whatever it is, know what it is absolutely worth to you now? Just tell everybody the table. Look, it's only worth this to me. So you, you have to beat this number or you have to make my life different because I'm not willing to do anything other than this. And when you know that it scares the hell out of people, but they don't know how to react, and that's what the rest of the world is Dealing with right now, a negotiator like Donald Trump, he tells you, this is what I'm going to do. These are going to be the consequences. This is what's going to happen if we do a deal. And, and he just states it. You got 60 days to decide. Now, a good negotiator knows that at any time the other side can come to the table. And then you go, great. And a good negotiator knows that somebody could come to the table and then not do a deal. So you better be ready to do whatever it is you said. Because if you don't. This is a problem with most people when they go to their boss and they're like, you know what? I'm gonna need this. Otherwise, okay, well, what if your boss says, okay, well, no, you're gonna quit because you better. Because you have no chance of having any authority at all. No authority, because the boss will never look at you the same. You have to mean what you say and say what you mean. And the rest of the world has not seen that from a president of the United States or quite honestly, any politician for a very long time time. Donald Trump says what he means and means what he says when he's negotiating. Guarantee it. I think this was all. I think this is all perfectly logical. We're used to a politician who says, you know, my red line is 60 days. And then 60 days comes and goes. Why do you think Iran didn't pay any attention? Because he's like Obama. He's like all the rest of them. They say this and then we cross their red line and they do nothing. If Donald Trump would have said 60 days and then nothing would have happened after, can you imagine? Everybody would have said, he's got no credibility. Look at that. Look at that. He was always, always saying, you know, barack Obama has no red lines that mean anything. He just gave them a red line and now it doesn't mean anything. No, he's just doing what he does.

Jason Buttrell (32:48)

I think the attempts to deceive, I think that's. That's bad language. That is wrong. I do think, though, this is what I think happened. I think, I think this happened right after the inauguration. I believe that Netanyahu and Trump got together and they said, let's give them an ultimatum, let's give them 60 days. I am going to push like hell for a diplomatic solution. I will push like hell after anything goes kinetic. But I think they both agreed at that point that after that 60 days.

Stu Burguiere (33:14)

It'S over, something will happen. Yeah, he, he had to have. Look, if you're negotiating for a house and, you know, somebody on the other side is, you know, a shark or not really, you know, a decent, you know, person, but you want the house. And so you're negotiating with them and they're playing this game, and you're like, no, you know, this is it. You know, we can. We can eat around the edges here or there, but, you know, in 20 days, if we don't have a deal, I'm walking from the house. And they just keep dragging it out because they think they're. You're just going to eventually give. What do you do if you're in that. In that situation? You either sign up for. I'm just going to end up paying whatever it is they want because I'll just keep playing this game. Or you say, honey, you know what? We'll do this for 20 days. I've told them, this is it, 20 days. We don't have a deal. We're not doing a deal. So let's go look for some other houses that's not deceiving the guy on the other end of the table, because you're going out to look at other houses. You already told them, look, in 20 days, I'm going to go and find another house. So let's negotiate. But I'm not going to be sitting behind the eight ball. It's not deception. When he said 60 days, and then he even said, you don't want to know what's going to happen to you after 60 days. But I'm telling, you have 60 days to do the deal. He's not deceiving. He is telling them. The most powerful people in the world. We have this problem with. We had it with Osama bin Laden, we have it with Iran. Today. The most powerful people in the world say, you know what? I'm going to get an atomic bomb and I'm going to burn Israel in the fires of the Islamic fury. And everybody's like, they're never going to do that. Well, just because you wouldn't do that doesn't mean that one won't. Let's look at the record of that one. Do they have a record of doing things like that? I don't know. Are they throwing gay people off of rooftops because they don't believe in homosexuality? Do they throw battery acid in women's faces because they looked at a man? Do they stone a woman to death but let the man go free if there was a case of an adultery? Yes, they do all of that. So what makes you think that they won't burn Israel in the fires of the Islamic fury. You must take people, especially when they're threatening to kill you. You must take them seriously. Otherwise, you're a moron. That's. That is the problem, honestly, with the world. Everybody is negotiating and nobody's really telling the truth. And then when a guy who comes in and tells everybody the truth, look, this is what I'm going to do. Oh, he's a madman. No, no, he wasn't deceiving anybody. He wasn't. He said it. He told everybody out loud, this is what he's going to do. It's like. It's like his promises that he's made on the campaign trail. Yeah, I'm going to do this and this and this. And then he comes in, look what he's doing. Well, yeah, he told you that. I know, but his tariffs are insane. I know, but he told you he was going to do that. You knew he was serious about it, and yet you voted for him. So, I mean, you know he's going to do it. You can be opposed to it, but just understand, he's the president. You're not. He's going to do it. I found it. I find it really irresponsible and reprehensible that there were. Were. I guess these were. Were these two Israeli officials that said that in this.

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus (36:43)

Yeah.

Jason Buttrell (36:43)

Just as Israeli officials.

Stu Burguiere (36:45)

I find that really reprehensible. Really reprehensible. You know, here's the president. He. He tried to negotiate, tried to make peace. He was over in the Middle East. What do you think he was doing over with the UAE and Saudi Arabia and even Syria? What do you think he was doing? He was preparing in case this moment happens. Let's not have the entire Middle east turn on us, okay? Let's not have them turn on Israel. Let's try to lay some foundation here so we don't have the whole Middle east set on fire. And by the way, is anybody in the press willing to recognize, you know, who's not crying bloody murder today? Egypt, the uae, the Kuwaitis. Uh, you don't hear anybody in Saudi Arabia screaming bloody murder. Why? Because they're all thanking Israel. They know who Iran is. They wanted this to happen. They just don't. They're just not man enough. They don't have the balls to stand up and say it. You know why? Because they're afraid of their own extremist population. That's what you're dealing with in the Middle East. So, boy, I pray hard that we don't go to war. I pray hard for the Persian people in Iran that are friends of ours and they're friends to freedom. But I hope those mullahs and those clerics and the ayatollah and all of those people that think that it's cool just to kill people because they don't believe your faith. I hope they burn in the fire of their own Islamic fury. I guarantee you guys, they're not getting any virgins. Well, I mean, hell might just give you 70, really domineering, ugly, fat ass maybe. I don't know. I don't know how it is. So let's move on, shall we? Let me tell you about our sponsor. This half hour. It's preborn. I don't think most people understand what a woman's really facing when she walks into an abortion clinic. I know I didn't. And then I started listening, started learning, started hearing. There is fear, there is pressure, there's confusion, and far too often loneliness. They feel completely alone. They don't want to make this decision most times, but they. They don't know what else to do. When that same woman walks into an abortion clinic, she gets an abortion. When she walks into a preborn clinic, preborn offers her a free ultrasound. If you're considering this, say, let's just take an ultrasound, see what we have here. And when mom hears the heartbeat and sees the baby, she's like, oh, my gosh. And it changes her, doubles the chance. She chooses life. The only remaining obstacle, 9 out of 10 times is, I can't afford diapers. It's something usually really small. One woman was like, I can't get to work. I don't have a car. The clinic was like, how about if we get you a car? If we could get you a car, would you? It would take you to work. And they found somebody to donate, you know, a used car. And she was like, she just cried and cried and cried. That was it. I just have to go to work. I can't take the bus because I already have two kids and I can't do it with three. One of them, one of them Women's problem was I need a three baby carriage carrier. You know what I mean? I have three babies and I need something to do all three of them. And they provided that. And she's like, okay, then I want to have this child. It's crazy. Affirm life. Choose life. May I suggest now you go to preborn.com preborn.com Beck and make a donation of anything that you can $28 or $29 is the price of an ultrasound. Doubles the chances Mom's gonna choose life. Hit £250.

Have you ever stopped to think about how your investments might quietly support policies that conflict with traditional American values? It's surprising, but many standard investment portfolios actually include companies actively opposing conservative principles. And without realizing it, investors hard earned dollars could be funding causes they fundamentally disagree with and even undermining the values that they hold dear. If you're anything like me, that idea can be pretty frustrating and honestly, a scary part. You could be part of the problem. I don't want to be part of the problem. Investors can use strategic investment choices and proactive shareholder advocacy to make a real difference. We've talked about this before. It's why Constitution wealth exists. Their advisors don't understand conservative values. They actively respect and uphold what matters to you. Unlike typical financial firms, Constitution wealth intentionally screens companies based on their alignment with conservative American principles, making sure your investments genuinely reflect your beliefs and your priorities. By partnering with Constitution wealth, you join a growing movement of Americans who are committed to aligning their financial decisions with their core values.

You know, I think America, you need to wake up to the fact. And I'm not beating the drums of war. I am warning you. Pray for peace, but prepare for fire. You look at all of the things that are happening all over the Western world right now. The streets that are on fire. And it's. It's nine out of ten Islam, communism, anarchists, or Palestinian stuff. You see the Europe. Where. Where did all these refugees come from? Where, where, where? Syria. All of those came from Syria. You know, the United states took on 400,000 people in World War II. 400,000 refugees. You have how many million around the world? They're all from Syria. Bullcrap. This was an invasion. And if you think that we're not going to eventually fight in our own streets, you're crazy. Now, the best thing we can do is deport, send people back, restore the rule of law, make sure we know who is here and then we don't have to fight a war. But that's not what the left wants. That's not what the left is preparing. This is Glenn Beck. There is a growing number of Americans who want to be protected in, in situations. But we're, you know, violence could break out at any time and they just don't want to carry a firearm.

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus (48:21)

So far so good. Thankful of everything happening and happy to be on your show and discussing what we're about to discuss.

Stu Burguiere (48:27)

Glenn, a lot of people were praying for you last night. A lot of Americans are a little freaked out. I kind of, I'm not freaked out, but I'm very concerned. You know, one of the things that, you know, the President, one of the things he really ran and won on is we're going to stop all these endless wars and we don't have an end in sight. Fight for Russia and Ukraine. And this one, while this is your battle and a very important one, it is going to affect the entire world. What happened? How, what was the convincing evidence? If you can tell us, how close were they to a bomb?

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus (49:08)

Yeah, I think you're right. And I think the concerns of the Americans that you referred to, they are very valid that this will affect other people in the world. I think what Israel did has the potential to affect significant positive change in the region. And currently the ball is in the Iranian hands. They have now the option to choose how to respond to what you, I think correctly described as a quite a magnificent and unprecedented military strike surprise against Iran. Taking out more than 20 of their senior leaders conducting hundreds of strikes in all across Iran. About eight, nine hundred, a thousand miles away from Israel. We struck and all of our pilots have come home safely. Many months of preparations and many years of collecting intelligence. Mossad and Israeli Air Force cooperating together here, maybe also special forces on the ground. But bottom line, this is a really, I think an historic operation that will be studied by military experts. But we'll leave that aside for a second and address the concerns of people. Now the Iranians have to decide what are they going to do, how are they going to respond. They've tried to respond by sending about 100 drones. They've been intercepted. And now we're going to see how the Iranians are responding. And the President, I think very correctly tell them, well, you got the option of going and making a deal because you, the Iranians are not going to have a nuclear bomb. And if you continue going down the path of violence, then this will end badly for you. That's what the US President is saying. Now in terms of what the tipping point was, Iran has been dashing for the bomb for a long period of time. I think the Atomic Agency report that verified that Iran is not only enriching uranium to weapons grade and has enough fissile material for at least 10 bombs, but that Iran is also in non compliance when it comes to their obligations to allow international supervision of their sites. And I think that and a lot of intelligence that we will, I think have declassified in the future was the tipping point. And at the end of the day, this has been, you know, months, if not years in the making. Iran has an open goal to annihilate the state of Israel. They say it clearly in Farsi, in their language. We know that they mean business and we also know that if we allow them to develop the tools to do so, they might be tempted to use them. And that is what Israel has today started to unravel in terms of those Iranian capabilities.

Stu Burguiere (51:53)

So I was a little disappointed today. Two Israeli officials, that's all it said in this Axios article that they said that President Trump was instrumental in all of this, et cetera, et cetera. But he and Benjamin Netanyahu were engaged in deception. And I read this as I don't think Israel would have done something this massive without the United States in their corner. But I don't think it's deceptive. When the President says you have 60 days to negotiate and you don't want to see what happens on day 61, I don't think that's deceptive. To make plans to go in on day 61. He kept giving them the same warning over and over again. Do you read that as deception or a negotiator that is telling you the truth?

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus (52:43)

I think actually it's both. It's deception in the good way of, of how to wage war and how to catch your enemy unaware and unprepared. And that is what Israel did. Has the US President been deceptive? No, I don't think so. I think he's been very straightforward, telling the Iranians time and time again, this is the best deal that you're going to get. You should relinquish all attempts to enrich material in Iran and you should allow full comprehensive inspection of all of your sites, nuclear as well as weapons development. And if, if you do that, nothing bad is going to happen and we will probably freeze sanctions and good things will happen to Iran. The Iranian leadership heard that, but didn't do it. And as you said correctly, we are Today on day 61 of the Presidential ultimatum. And this is what happens.

Stu Burguiere (53:38)

Yeah, it's just a president that draws a red line and then actually means it. Ben Rhodes came out today and said war is breaking out because Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran deal and got humiliated by Netanyahu while trying to negotiate his own. And he's going to have a military parade for his birthday. This is the weakest strongman ever. Is that why this happened? Because, because Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran deal?

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus (54:01)

I think that sounds like a very bitter former person of influence who, you know, was part in devising a lousy deal for America, a lousy deal for the world. And he's bitter because the other perspective and the other line of thought is prevailing. And I think that if we look at the current situation in the Middle east, the biggest destabilizing and terror supporting country in the region that has its tentacles or had its tentacles in Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and that was trying to develop nuclear weapons, Iran is now being right sized and put in a tight spot. Maybe Mr. Rhodes has sympathy for the Iranian regime. I do not, I do not wish to be to see what happens if that regime is allowed to develop weapons, because I know that they are a genocidal and absolutely crazy regime that might do the most horrible things. And of course, Mr. Rhodes probably doesn't assess it like that because he lives far away and he isn't Israeli.

Stu Burguiere (55:09)

But.

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus (55:09)

But for us Israelis, it is as tangible and as existential as it gets. So I think the contrary. I think just one thing. You know, President Trump in his first presidency, he gave the brave and correct order to take out Qassem Soleimani, the very important Iranian general. At the time. There was an entire chorus around the world, American media, blaming President Trump for escalating, opening World War III and all matter of other fabricated nonsense. None of that happened. And what President Trump did, what he ordered and what US Troops did was to take out the most important mastermind of Iranian expansionism. And I think that today that is also important because had he been around Qassem Soleimani, I'm pretty sure that the Iranians would have fared better since October 7th and we would have had a more difficult situation. He is not around. And I give credit to President Trump for doing that. And I give credit to President Trump for supporting Israel and for working together with Israel, of course, keeping America's interest first and Israel's interest second. That's what the US President should be doing. But the interests here, they are aligning. And I think we're in a very good situation. I hope good things will come. I hope prospect prosperity. I hope freedom for the Iranian people is just around the corner and I hope prosperity for all the people in the Middle east is around the corner. It can happen because the Iranian regime was standing in between that progress and now there's a different time for the Iranian regime.

Stu Burguiere (56:48)

It would be amazing if we saw the regime actually topple and the people were free, because the Persian people are wonderful. Let me ask you, you know, we're seeing riots on our streets. We're seeing it in Europe and it always has either a communist, socialist, anarchist and an Islamicist tint to them. The Palestinian protests are growing everywhere. And I just look at this and say, this is our future for the entire Western world. Should we be concerned that this activity now, green lights will be given to, let's say, the 8,000 terrorists that we know are here in America, let alone all over Europe?

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus (57:35)

Yeah, I think that the West, Europe to a more severe extent, and the US to a certain extent, in certain states and certain cities, mostly along the coasts and less inside the country, perhaps barring Chicago and the a few areas of the Great Lakes. But by and large, there's a significant threat to the Western based system of democracy, civil liberties, law and order. And it is being implemented on the ground and carried and pushed forward by many rogue elements, one of them being Islamists that are espousing terrorist ideologies and that deep down do not agree with the Judeo Christian values that are today governing the world and led by free democracies. And they are trying to import their failed system of governance and their outlook on life which they brought from the Middle east and from other places and enforce that on free democratic societies. And they're abusing the system, the liberties, the freedoms and the rights that democracies like the US and in Europe avail people. They're marching on the streets under the guise of free speech. They are advocating violence. They are trying to undermine the social fabric of society. They are espousing terrorism, they are glorifying violence. And of course, anti Semitism is always also in that bag of negative things. And I think it is high time that there's a serious debate in the US and in the West. I think the situation in Europe is far worse than it is in the US And I think Americans can look at the streets of London and Paris and heed warning and say if we want to reach a situation where the streets are dominated by Islamists and where an ordinary white Christian or Jew or someone who, who isn't a Muslim extremist cannot walk the streets safely in the cities of their home, in the streets of their home country, then we better look at what's happening in Europe and take action before now. To be clear, I am not branding all Muslims as terror supporters. There are many great Americans who are of Muslim heritage, who are loyal American citizens who are not espousing terrorism, but those who do, those who seek to undermine Western democracy, those who seek to undermine law and order and a free and right based society, and to import dark worldviews from the Middle east based on all kinds of extremist ideologies, they should be met with a firm response. And in most cases they are not met with firm responses. And then they expand.

Stu Burguiere (60:28)

Lieutenant Colonel, I know you have to run. You've got a busy day. Thank you for spending time. Is this, is this over now or is there more to come?

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus (60:35)

No, no. This is not even the end of the beginning.

Stu Burguiere (60:40)

Okay, Lieutenant Colonel, thank you so much. Appreciate it. God bless. You bet. Bye. Bye. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor. This half hour. It's Relief Factor. You know, there comes a point in time where you just start, you start measuring time differently. Not in years or holidays, but in distances. Can I make it all the way there without out, you know, causing all kinds of pain? Yesterday I had to go in. I've getting some stuff done with my back. You know, I could take the elevator or I could walk. And I looked at the stairs and I normally pick the stairs and I'm like, I'm gonna risk it. And I walked up the stairs. I regretted it as soon as I got to the top of the stairs. But that's the way you measure things, you know, And I'm telling you it doesn't have to be that way. Relief Factor is a daily 100% drug free supplement that fights inflammation, the root cause of so many forms of our pain and our disease. Little by little, it will feel like you're getting your pieces back. Now for me, it is knocked out. It's knocked out some major pain for me with my back. It helps my back. But I have to tell you, I swear by this stuff, it doesn't work for everybody. About 70% of the people that take it feel the same way I do for 1995. Get it for three weeks. Just try it for three weeks. You're gonna feel the difference within three weeks. If you don't, you're gonna be part of that 30%. It doesn't work. And yeah, you'll be out 19 bucks. But, boy, if it works, if you're part of the 70%, you will thank me forever. Reliefactor.com that's relieffactor.com or call 1-800-for relief. That's 1-800-the number four relief. Ten seconds. Station ID. Jason, you know, Lieutenant Colonel, what did you get from that?

Jason Buttrell (62:29)

I think that everybody. He's just so great. Lt. Col. Conris is so great. And I think he's really, really outlining the, the full threat that they are leading the charge for the entire world to stop. And it is significant. And I think that something that I really wish we could have gotten your last question about in the streets and everything that's going to happen, the actual counterattack has not really happened yet. And I think that's going to be clearly on the Iranian regime once they feel like they're about to lose it.

Stu Burguiere (62:58)

I kept getting yelled at in my ear, he's got to go, he's got to go, he's got to go. So I couldn't answer. I just did my best.

Jason Buttrell (63:04)

But that is the point where I'm really concerned about what happens when Hezbollah is activated in South America? What happens when the proxies are directed to shut down the Straits of Hormuz and the other. What happens then? I mean, $75, a 10% surge in oil now.

Stu Burguiere (63:19)

10% just on. Based on what happened last night, if they start to do anything with oil fields shutting down, the Straits of Hormuz, any of that stuff, you could see overnight, 150, $200 barrel per barrel oil. If that happens, remember. Thank you, Joe Biden. We don't have any strategic oil reserve. We have very. What do we have? Half. Is it up to half now?

Jason Buttrell (63:45)

It's half.

Stu Burguiere (63:45)

So that's better than it was. Thank you, Donald Trump. But you know that that doesn't last very long. And remember in 2008, the collapse came because the world is based on $120 barrel oil. That's the cap. You can't go past $120 a barrel for very long because then the economies and all of the metrics just start falling apart. We were at 130, I think, for a month. And that is what triggered the. That was the last straw. That broke the camel's back. We're talking about 150, $200 a barrel gallon a barrel oil. That is, that won't be good for the entire world. I mean, we're really facing, you know, and I. Anybody who's saying, you know, oh, I can't believe that you are for what Israel did. I'm not here to tell Israel what to do and what they can't do, okay? I think that's their country and they can do what they need to do. I think we're stupid for not recognizing the riots on the streets. Those are communist, socialist and Islamicist movements. That's what that is. That's what this whole Palestinian thing is. This is a movement to capture our children and get them to view us as the aggressor, to be able to have our own children say America is a monster. And they're close to doing that already. And your kids, they will either bow to Islam and Sharia law or they will be executed. And if you don't recognize this, you're living in a dream world. Look at what's happening in Europe. Just look at that. I mean, it's, you know, when, when the Swedish are having a hard time, when they can't keep control of their own streets. Now this is their prime minister said, we have lost control of our own streets. When you have women, as long as you're white and as long as you're not Muslim, they can rape you. And they do, and nothing happens. We're foolish to think that that's going to go on for very long before one of us has to break. One of us is either going to stand up and say, enough is enough and hopefully it won't be too late by then, you know, or they'll just stand up and say, enough of you guys. What are you even doing here? Anymore war. It's what's happening. And you know, you've, you, you don't like what's happening here, well, that's fine. I don't want you to fight and I don't want to fight Israel's war. But I will tell you, you know, the real problem is everything is on the edge. We've made so many bad choices for so long. It's all on the edge. And then on top of it, you have you have Islamists, you have communists and socialists and anarchists. And then you have big business and big government with a wef that they all want to change the world. I mean it's just, honestly, it's just the people of the world, the average person in the world that doesn't want to change it, everybody else does not have your motivation. Prepare. This is Glenn Beck. All right, so there are a few words in the English language that unleash feelings. You know, there's probably not one that unleashes is more dread than this one. Move. You gotta move. Suddenly your head is full of paperwork, appraisals, closing costs, worries about timing, showing. How are you gonna pack the house? How are you gonna get out all of this stuff? Everything in your life becomes a question mark. And it sounds expensive. And even if you're excited, there's still that knot in your stomach because you know so much can go wrong. This is why I built real estate agents. Real estate agents I trust. What if you walk through that process with confidence because you had an agent who you knew, knew the market, returned your phone calls, who cared about the outcome more than their commission, Would it make things better? We have hand selected agents all across the country based on performance integrity and a history of actually getting things done for people like you. So whether you're buying, selling, upsizing, downsizing, just trying to get unstuck, let us connect you with somebody who knows what they're doing.

Stu Burguiere (68:52)

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Thank you so much for listening. You know, as I'm looking at everything that is going on. By the way, it's Friday. Hi, thanks so much for listening. When you look at everything that is going on, the, the choice in front of us is so clear and it is so easy to make. It's just which do you choose? Life or death? Life or death? Are you part of a culture of death or a culture of life? Are you fighting for life in all of its forms or. Or are you fighting for death in all of its forms? And it's really clear to see which side is which? It really is, you know, isn't that what, isn't that what God said when the Israelites went into the promised land? Choose life. Now what l' Chaim means to life. To life, I think it is choose life. I don't know. Everything I learned about Hebrew I learned from Fiddler on the Roof. But that's a different story. Not exactly true, but almost true. True in this case anyway. You have to choose life. And the left is becoming more and more about death in every way today. The more enlightened left, I mean, the more enlightened they become, the more left the doctrine, the more barbaric it actually becomes. We've seen it on the streets in la, right? Look at that. That's not about life. That's about destruction of everything. According to their doctrine, the left believes that the only, you know, that, that not doing a thing to police illegal immigration is the only solution to compassionate, you know, service. You know, you just can't do anything about it because that, that way we're compassionate and we're, we're loving and we're handling the situation okay, and you can' anything about it. And if not, well, we're gonna prove how compassionate and loving we are. Through mob violence and arson and theft and assaulting federal officers. It doesn't make any sense, let alone standing up for the people who have, who have horribly raped 14 year old children. I don't understand. How are you doing that? How, how is that choosing life at all? Now in New York, things are even worse in the legislature where the people's representatives have passed a bill to make it easier for people to kill themselves. The U.S. surgeon General's office calls loneliness and isolation in America an epidemic. How many people do you know that have either killed themselves or have had their children almost kill themselves? I don't think I can count them on two hands. My mother killed herself when I was a child. And she was the only one I had ever heard of doing that, except in TV shows and movies. Now it's an epidemic. Yet New York is choosing to declare open season on anybody vulnerable. This bill is assisted suicide. And it is dressed up as always, as compassion. But it's not mercy. It is absolute madness. It's now sitting on the governor's desk of New York. Kathy Hochul. It's waiting for her signature to make it law. But this bill is an absolute nightmare. Um, it requires no waiting period after the first, after the person's first request to die. So in other words, hey, I've got some bad news for you. Uh, you have cancer and it's probably untreatable. I just, I just want to die. Okay. No waiting period. Nurse, can we bring that in? No waiting period. Somebody who has a terminal diagnosis one day can be handed the lethal cocktail the very next day. Unlike, unlike other states that are at least nodding to some health evaluations, you know, no, New York is just going to check, make sure that's an informed decision. You know what you're saying, right? You want to kill yourself? Yeah, I do. Okay, good. You're informed. I mean, when people are staring death and depression in the face, despair and depression clouds everything. You don't make a decision when you're like that. As somebody who has had major depression when I was young, you. It is insane. It's insanity. And as somebody who is older, who has. I mean, this week my back has been so bad. I went to my doctor and I said, I can't live this way. I just. I can't walk. I could barely breathe. I just can't live this way now. I didn't mean I want to kill myself, but I understand how people can get there. I get that. But is that who we are? Is that as a society, is that who we are? I mean, it's crazy, you know, since when is the left concerned about patients being informed they don't want a woman who's considering an abortion to see an ultrasound of their baby? I don't know, is that informed consent? One guy, he's a bioethicist from Washington state. He's tracked these laws now for 40 years. He says, New York bill. The bill in New York is probably the worst law of its kind in the U.S. what a surprise. Their last governor was killing people in nursing homes. The language that is in this bill, the lies are disgusting. They call prescribing poison a, quote, medical practice, and the poison is medication. Now listen to this. It also prohibits referring to this practice as suicide. Hmm. In the worst part of this bill, and remember, we're talking about killing people. This shows you how they know they're lying. Even when you write out the death certificate of a person who dies through assisted suicide, you are only allowed to list the person's underlying illness or condition as the official cause of death. Death. You cannot say it had anything to do with citize suicide or any medical aid in dying. So if I have cancer and I'm not going to treat it, I just want to die. If I have depression, I just want to die, I would die of depression or cancer. You know what that does? That hides the actual stats. It hides the crime. You won't be able to track. How bad is this getting? They're trying to memory hole suicide. Making doctors lie about it. No, helping doctors lie. But I'm sorry, But if you're a doctor and you are going along with this and you are not standing up, where is your Hippocratic oath? First, do no harm. Are you kidding me? Abortion? You excuse that, now we're going to get it on the other side. You excuse that, and you don't even have to to. You don't even have to medically evaluate the person, and then you cover it up. Wow. New York State has been, you know, developing this culture of death since 1970. Three years before Roe versus Wade, they were doing it. More than half a century of pro choice messaging, it greased the slippery slope, and we are now at the bottom of it. If, according to the left, the compassionate thing toward a pregnant woman is to allow her to kill her unborn child, that's just a short jump to assisted suicide being considered the compassionate way out for the terminally ill or the mentally ill. After all, it's my body, my choice, right? Dr. Lydia Dugale, she's from Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, New York City. She wrote an op ed last month, and she said, this is not compassionate policy. Instead of investing in the infrastructure of support for the lonely, the depressed, the disabled, and the poor, we just offer them a prescription for death and we call it autonomy. But it's nothing but abandonment. The art of dying well cannot be severed from the art of living well, and that includes caring for one another, especially when it's hard, hard when it's inconvenient or costly. It's not enough to offer the. The dying control. We have to offer them dignity. And not by affirming their despair, but by affirming their worth. Life is worth it. She went on and said, even when they're suffering, even when they are vulnerable, even when they are, in worldly terms, a burden to anyone who has common sense Left in New York and California, I mean, you seem to be outnumbered by barbarians. It must be an awfully hopeless feeling. I'm glad we can be there for so many of you every day. Just don't give up. Don't give up. You are not without hope as long as you're still in the fight. So you live in New York. Call your governor's office. Urge her to veto this evil bill of death. Choose life. Do not give up on trying to salvage a culture of life, because once you do, we're completely done. Choose life. Back in just a second. Every day, someone you never meet puts on a uniform and signs an unwritten contract that says, I'm going to risk my life for people I don't even know. And sometimes they give everything. A father lost in combat, a mom taken in the line of duty, a first responder ran into the fire and never came back out. They kept their promise, and now we have a chance to keep ours. Yeah, it's unwritten. The Tunnel to Towers foundation pays off mortgages for families of fallen heroes so they don't lose their home. On top of losing the breadwinner, the, the, the father, the mother. They also build smart homes for severely wounded veterans so they can live with dignity and independence. This is choosing life. This is action on a level that goes well beyond simply raising awareness, although they do that too. This is bills paid, keys handed over, real lives changed. And it only happens because of people like you. America's heroes have given so much. And together we can say thank you in a lasting and meaningful way. Please show your support now. Donate $11 a month, will you? Tunnel to towers2t.org that's tthenumber2t.org Freedom's like a wild horse. If you don't grab the reins every once in a while, you're liable to catch a hoof to the face. And trust me, that ain't pleasant. Beck will be right back after this.

Stu Burguiere (81:54)

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Glenn Beck (81:56)

Glenn, you mentioned Friday the governor of New York who's just fabulous. Fantastic. Can I ask you a question about the upcoming mayoral election in New York, though? I'm curious to get what your opinion is on this because right now you have Andrew Cuomo is awful.com, killer who is running for mayor. He is for the first time had a poll come out where he is not leading. He is losing in this one poll at least to a guy who is purely a socialist to the point he's doing commercials that he's going to start New York City owned grocery stores throughout the city is one of his proposals. Rent control everywhere. Like every terrible socialist policy you could ever imagine. We obviously know Andrew Cuomo very, very corrupt and depending on your view of the matter, might be legally a murderer. So my question for you is, if you were in New York City and had to cast a vote, would you select, A, the socialist B, Andrew Cuomo, C, jumping off the direct center of the George Washington Bridge. Which. Which way would you go? It's a very.

Stu Burguiere (83:12)

Because you just made your suicide. That's a tough choice. Could I call a friend or could I call U Haul? Yeah.

Glenn Beck (83:20)

No, you cannot move.

Stu Burguiere (83:22)

I can't call U Haul. I can't move.

Glenn Beck (83:24)

You can drive a U Haul off of the top of the George Washington Bridge if you'd rather do it that way, but you cannot move.

Stu Burguiere (83:30)

I think I'd have to vote for the killer. I think I'd have to vote for the killer.

Glenn Beck (83:33)

Really?

Stu Burguiere (83:34)

Yeah. I think it is fascinating. I just hope that I never get sick or old. Right?

Glenn Beck (83:39)

Don't get sick. I have relatives who are facing this decision and talking to them, they are truly conflicted. They think Andrew Cuomo is one of the worst people that has ever existed in all of human history.

Stu Burguiere (83:53)

Why don't they move? Seriously, why don't they move?

Glenn Beck (83:56)

I don't know. I wish. I mean, certainly a family that lives.

Stu Burguiere (84:00)

In Washington state and they just won't do it it. And I have friends who live in Washington state and I'm like, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? The confiscation of your wealth, the confiscation of your house for. For you to get. Have things so bad that you'll never be able to sell your property there? What? What Are you waiting for? I. I don't know. The torches at your house at night, they're not gonna be like cute little 1960s tiki torches by the pool gang. It's bad. But, I mean, I just. I just. I don't know. So we've got to strengthen our communities that are strong. You know, my little community here, I just love my little community. And, boy, I do everything I could to strengthen this community, because the people know each other, they like each other, they have the same, you know, basic values. We don't all go to the same church or anything else, but we have the same values. We all believe in the same, generally the same kind of America, even though we don't all vote the same, you know, and nobody's gonna cross into our town and go, you know what? I'm gonna set your town on fire and loot it, because everyone will show up with their hay balers and throw those guys in the back of the hay baler. I swear to you. I just thought it would tie them up in a little square. I didn't have any idea that it would do that to them. I mean, we've got to strengthen ourselves because. And you got to get out before this, because they are going to do it. They are going to do it. They. You know, if New York elects the socialist cloud and Piven is coming, New York City will be an absolute hell hole. Hellhole. California. You're. I mean, look at what you're looking at. Look at the difference between California 10 years ago and now. Look at it five years ago and now. I mean, you thought it was bad when Trump was in his first term, right? Look at it now. What do you think it's going to be in another five years? Everything is speeding up. You got to get out of these places. Gotta get out.

Glenn Beck (86:00)

So can we count that as an Andrew Cuomo endorsement from you, or does that.

Stu Burguiere (86:04)

Yeah, can you put that. If I. If, if that's the only choice I have are those two. I think I go with the killer.

Glenn Beck (86:12)

Incredible statement.

Stu Burguiere (86:13)

Yeah, it really is. But I mean, you know what communists will do? Geez, Communists will give that. I mean, they will. There'll be no chance of turning that thing around. You give that thing four years under a real Communist, how are you gonna turn that thing around?

Glenn Beck (86:27)

That's fascinating. I mean, when asked, he was asked, who is his favorite mayor of New York? And he said, de Blasio. Can you imagine uttering that word after that question? It's incomprehensible to me.

Stu Burguiere (86:40)

Who said that?

Glenn Beck (86:41)

The socialist can candidate endorsed by aoc. He said Bill de Blasio was his favorite US or his favorite New York City mayor, which again, he left office with what, an 18 approval rating? Something like that.

Stu Burguiere (86:55)

Just say none of the above. That's what you say?

Glenn Beck (86:58)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (86:59)

I don't know. Is Karl Marx ever run for. Was he ever the mayor here? I mean, anything but de Blasio.

Glenn Beck (87:06)

It's.

Stu Burguiere (87:06)

God, heavens. And you know what? But I mean, you know, even after, you know, killing people in nursing homes, he still has to be going, and I'm losing to this guy. How is that possible? I'm losing to this guy? Well, yeah, it seems people don't like it when you, you know, kill their grandparents and their parents. But maybe that's just me, you know, from the center of the country. What do we know? This is Glenn Beck. Oh, Stu. What do you have planned for this weekend, Stu? Anything fun?

Glenn Beck (87:49)

Yes, I'm going to my daughter's gymnastics nationals this weekend.

Stu Burguiere (87:54)

Oh, my gosh, your kids, you. I mean, you're always running your life. It's either gymnastics or sports or something. Yeah. Just say my parents didn't show up to any of those things. I said to my kids. My parents didn't show up at any of these. And we didn't have play dates. They just said, go out and play. They didn't care if we were hit by cars. We. They'd worry about it if we weren't home when the street lights came on. Then to be like, ah, where is he? You know?

Glenn Beck (88:22)

And look how you turned out, you know?

Stu Burguiere (88:23)

Right.

Glenn Beck (88:24)

I'm totally normal, commercial for that kind of parent parenting, you know?

Stu Burguiere (88:28)

Exactly right. Exactly right. You gotta teach them kids rights, too.

Glenn Beck (88:32)

Yeah, I'm gonna. I'll just send her alone. She'll figure it out, you know, just release her into the city.

Stu Burguiere (88:38)

That's right. She'll find her way home, too. Get a ride? I don't know. Walk.

Glenn Beck (88:41)

Texas is one of the biggest states.

Stu Burguiere (88:43)

When he wanted to do stuff, he walked. Right? What's wrong with you? Just come.

Glenn Beck (88:49)

Come towards the border. You'll eventually get back home.

Stu Burguiere (88:53)

LA down the road where shadows hide. Feel the dark on every side. Stand your ground when times get down. Gotta face the dog and embrace the fire. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Last night, I made a huge mistake. I never do this. I started reading some comments about a post I made on Israel. Oh, was that a mistake? Because I. I was a pro, writing and rewriting and just venting, you know, three o' Clock in the morning. I'm just still venting and I want to share maybe a little toned down version of what I learned from people who are on X and how they feel about me and Israel and maybe you too. We'll do that in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Good Ranchers. So someone raised that stake on your plate. Someone got up before the sun, fed the herd, repaired the fence, did a hundred other things while you and I slept in bed. At least that's the story, you know, that they, they tell us all the time and it's a true story. I know because I live around those people. I say I'm a rancher. Not really. Not really. I'm around ranchers and when the work starts to happen I'm like, you know what I gotta do anything else right now. Everything that is sold by good ranchers comes from America.

Alright, I'm just gonna give you a couple of the highlights here on some of the things that I read. And some of these are from actual friends or people like I still count as friends. I don't think they do based on what they're saying. Saying about me, you know, I heard a lot of Jew lover which I just, I just love that one Jew lover because I, because I wished Israel well and prayed for everybody that was involved and prayed for peace and I actually I mentioned the Jews were the chosen people and I know that's very controversial. I mean it's It's. They've only been called that for 5,000 years, and some people just haven't been able to let that go. You know, it's 5,000 years. I. Give me some time before I can get. Before I can get over that. You know, I get it. I get it. Christians are the chosen people of God. Glenn, you've been a neocon as long as you've been an alcoholic. Maybe drinking would be better. Oh, that's nice. Ask the people you're praying for what they think about Jesus. Oh, my God. They killed Jesus, you know. Oh, my God. Can we. I couldn't. I couldn't take it. I. I read it and I was just like, oh, my gosh, look at this. I can't believe this is the society I live in. But it is. At least it's a portion of it. You know, the ones who are, you know, ranting on X, I guess, which would include me. So let me just say this. You know, blessing Israel does not mean bombing their enemies. It doesn't. You know, Genesis and I, I hate to bring you back to the word of God, Genesis, I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you. Now, that's God saying that. And I don't know, I just want to take him at his word, especially when he's like, I'm going to hand out some blessings and we're living in a country that could use one from time to time. I mean, I don't know what you're praying for, but, you know, I don't want God, you know, God up in the, I don't know, the big throne room going, that's surprising. That's what you were praying for. Because there's a, A lot of stuff going on I think I could help you with, but I'm going to have to just curse you now because that was a contract. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you. Now, what does that mean? That's God speaking to Abraham and through Abraham, to the Jewish people, to Israel. Now, you've heard that a million times, Christians. What does that mean to you? You know, I'm not a. I'm not a Bible scholar by any stretch of the imagination, so I, I'm not going to tell you what it means. I'm going to tell you what I believe. It does not mean. It does not mean that we are called to march, lock, step into every war that Israel faces. It doesn't mean that we have to agree with everything they do or say. It doesn't mean that we're obligated to spill American blood in foreign deserts every time Israel defends itself. No, blessing Israel means we affirm their right to live. You know, hey, is that a Jew over there? I don't know. I think he should live. I think that's a pretty low bar. I really. I really do, you know, but I kind of have that on everybody, you know? I mean, unless you're killing people, I'm pretty much in the camp of, hey, let's not kill that guy, you know? But a lot of people today can't seem to make that bar. They, you know, death to the Jews, death to Israel. You know, from the river to the sea. That means you're going to kill all the Jews. There won't be any Jews left in that land we know is Israel. But other than that, I get it. You. You're. You're not cursing. You're blessing them. You know, just get out of this space, okay? I think blessing Israel means I affirm their right to live. I defend their right to survive. You know, I stand up against. At least vocally, and if required to do more, I will. But stand up against those who would like to see the Jewish erased, you know, from maps, from textbooks, from history, you know, again, I think that's a pretty low bar. Now listen carefully. Israel is not perfect. I know I said it. Wait a minute. I thought you were a Jew lover. I'll get to that in a second. Perfection is not the requirement for support here. We support Israel because God chose to reveal himself through them. Through Abraham, Moses, Davis, the. The prophets, and, dare I say it, a Jew. Jesus. Yeah, he was a Jew. But, you know, the Jews killed Jesus, so Jews killed another Jew. Wow, that sounds almost like Americans killing other Americans for some reason. That one's different. The Jewish people are our spiritual family, whether you like it or not. They are the root. We are a grafted branch. What kind of tree survives after turning on its root? And I have to tell you, I wanted to. I wanted to ungraft myself from some of these people who were like, oh, well, the Jews rejected Christ. I'm not supporting them. They don't even believe in the Messiah. They won't convert. Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry. Is that you, Mr. Mullah? They won't convert. Oh, okay. Yeah, they killed Jesus. Wow. I. I was thinking about last night. I'm like, I don't know what it was like to live in the 1300s, you know, around the Crusades, but it probably might have been A little something like that or I wasn't around in the 1930s, you know, when that guy, that German guy had the Charlie Chaplin mustache was around. I, I, but I bet it was a little like that. And, and all because of what a group of people, Jews and Romans, did 2,000 years ago. You're going to turn your back on them now? This is funny. I find this very funny. Cuz aren't you the same exact group of people that say how you, how dare they try to judge me for something I had nothing to do with. My family never owned slaves. We weren't even here until the late 1800s. Oh, so don't judge you for slavery because you weren't there. But the Jew, that was 2,000 years ago. And I gotta tell you, the Jew, I can't forgive. Wow. So Christ like of you. Really, it, no, it is, it is. I think that was the same kind of logic that was whispered through the German pews as the trains rolled past. Same kind of cruel calculus that said well, they had their chance, let them go. No, no, never again. I thought is what we agreed on. But maybe you didn't mean that. Let me remind you of something that is from Romans. Paul himself a Jew himself, a killer of Christians. One of the first and I might say as Donald Trump said, nobody better killing Christians in the early part than than that Paul, I mean Paul was, he was. Anyway, he writes in chapter 11, God rejected His people by no means they're beloved for the sake of their forefathers. And again, do not be arrogant toward the branches. Remember, it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. See, this is a problem a lot of Christians have. They think we replace Israel. Yeah, we don't. We really don't. That's kind of their thing. Our thing is our thing, you know, we don't supersede them. You know, we're co heirs in a promise that God still honors. But it's not that hard. What is he? What does God mean? Bless Israel? Well, here's what I think it means. It means to and this is going to be a hard one for a lot of people apparently. It means you speak the truth when lies are shouted from the rooftops. That's means you stand between them and hatred when mobs scream for their destruction. That's means you refuse to be silent when the world once again blames all the Jews for all of its problems, whether it's Berlin 1938 or Berkeley 2025. Yeah, but you want to fight their wars. No, I Didn't say that. No, it doesn't mean that you fight their wars. No. Boy, stop with that. The other, you know, the other life. And I hear this from friends, other broadcasters. Oh, you're a neocon war monger. No, I really. No, I'm not. I don't want war. You could have said that about me maybe 30 years ago. Maybe I've changed an awful lot and definitely don't want more war. Yeah, well, you support Israel warmong, you Jew lover. Yeah, you know what? On that one, I sound guilty as discharged. I am, I guess, a Jew lover as much as I'm a lover of you. You know, whatever you are, I'm a lover of you too, you know, but because I love you doesn't mean I support all that you do. Or I want to fight and die for the things you think are worth fighting and dying for. That's your choice. I'm not required to do that. But I can still love you. So here's what you have to do. Here's what you have to do. You don't have to agree with me on any of these things, but you do have to do this. Be a defender of truth without being a servant of an empire. Me no understand. Kimo Sabe. Oh, now he's going after the Native Americans. You can bless Israel without marching into Babylon. You can be pro Israel and pro peace. Yeah, but you gotta hate the Muslims. Nah, actually, Islamicists, yeah, they're a problem. Sharia law, people, you know, the ones that are like, yeah, we got to cut your hand off and cut your head off, and I can marry your daughter at nine years old because Muhammad did it.

Jason Buttrell (102:09)

No.

Stu Burguiere (102:10)

Yeah, I think that's darkness, you know, I think that's slavery. I think that's bondage. I think that might come directly from the opposite place, but, you know, anything that's oppressing women, kills, apostates, exalts, conquest over compassion. Anybody who's preaching Sharia law, they're enemies. Not. Not necessarily just of mine. I think they're enemies of God. I think they're enemies of all mankind. It's evil. And that's why I. I am. And I think you would too, stand up against it with, you know, my last breath. It is evil. But Muslims aren't my enemy. They're human beings made in the image of God. I think lots of them are hostages of that ideology. They're not the authors. Now, some of them, some of them are hungry for the same truth that saved you. They just don't know it yet or haven't seen it yet, but some of them are not. You know, and with everything that's happening in the Western world, it's hard to remember that. You see all these people on the streets shrouding people for, for Sharia law and shouting, you know, we. How much they love Hamas and all the rapes that they did with the babies there. I mean, it's hard to remember that. But not all of them believe in that. And you know, it's weird in, in Iran, the Persians. The Persians are some of the greatest people in the Middle East. I love the Persians. You know, praying for everybody involved in this. Why did you just assume that I'm talking about just Israel and Jews? What about the Persians? They're our friends. They don't want to live under these regimes. So anyway, where does this leave us? Leaves us right here. And this is going to come as a surprise because I've never heard this from Christians before. Never, ever, ever. Love the person, hate the sin, hate the lie, resist the darkness. That could make a nice bumper sticker. Stay out of unjust wars. That's a hard one. But never, ever, ever, ever again remain silent. You know what a Christian's job is right now? Not to beat the war drums, but to be the trumpet of truth. It is not to pick up the sword unless evil is breaking down your door. You don't have to pick up the store sword. Our job is just to stand firm with all of the armor of God and refuse to bow to the spirit of this age. So to those who say, oh, you're a warm up, I don't care, you can call me, I've called, been called, much, much worse. Well, we just don't want to get involved. Let me ask you something. I think you're already involved. You know, people are being shot in our own streets. You're seeing, you know, Palestinian supporters burning down our cities, causing all kinds of mayhem along with the communists. Yeah, I don't want to get involved. Oh, well, you already are. You already are. And if your silence is helping the lie, then you're already in the fight. You're just on the wrong side. Whether you want to be or not, you're on the wrong side and you are in the fight. We don't need another crusade. What we need is the courage to. To speak the simple truth, to speak simply the truth to darkness and power. It doesn't take much. Do you know the way to chase away evil is just to say, depart in the name of Jesus Christ. Depart. No choice. There's no big Fight. You just say the truth. But to do that, you need to actually believe. You need to have conviction. You need to have compassion. We need people who will say, I'm not going to hate, but I am not going to lie. I'm not going to fight in somebody else's fight. And notice Israel is the only ally that I can remember that hasn't asked us for troops on the ground, hadn't come begging to us for troops. Yeah, they're asking for. Will you sell us some stuff? Yeah. Doesn't everybody say that? I may not fight your war, but I'm. I am certainly not going to stop you from defending yourself. And I am not bowing down. I'm not going to start a fire, but I'm not going to sing louder while it burns. You're not being asked to storm the gates. You're being asked just to stop holding them open for evil. So hear me, all of those quote, friends of mine, blessing Israel does not mean bloodshed. Doesn't make you a warmonger. It just means, I think we should be clear, we should have some moral clarity. The world is burning right now. Not for lack of truth, but for lack of real men willing to speak it, no matter the cost. Back in a minute. Owning a dog, you know, is. Is a sport that has significantly changed over the years. Way back in the day, they used to sleep in the yard and eat table scraps in answer to the name dog. Hey, dog. Now they have custom sweaters, I swear to you, memory foam beds. If I, If I see another dog with shoes, I'm going to lose my mind. But here's the funny thing. We still feed them food. We try to feed them, you know, things that we think are edible and it's really not. I mean, it wouldn't be edible in most countries.

Glenn Beck (108:55)

Are you.

Stu Burguiere (108:56)

Everywhere?

Glenn Beck (108:56)

Are you really, though? Are you. After what we've seen over the past, I mean, since let's say, October 8, 2023, after seeing that, how can you be surprised by anyone?

Stu Burguiere (109:08)

Maybe I'm so. I'm so disappointed that there are so many on the right that have just turned against Jews in Israel. I mean, I expected from the left. I mean, that's where they always go. But there is this new thing happening. I shouldn't say that. There's this very ancient thing that is happening on the right, too. And it's a little terrifying.

Glenn Beck (109:31)

Yeah.

Stu Burguiere (109:32)

Because remember, I will bless those who bless you. I will curse those who curse you. I think we've done enough cursing on ourselves. I don't think we need God's help because he's pretty good at doing things. I don't want to see his skill at cursing because we've done enough of that ourselves.

Glenn Beck (109:51)

Yeah, and then there's some evidence of how that turned out in an old book, and it didn't seem fun. And look, there's a line between. Of course you can be critical of Israel, you can be critical of our involvement in some of these areas. That's all. It's all fair game. But you do when it's seemingly followed up with stuff that sounds like it could go on a Hamas sign, you know, it's just.

Stu Burguiere (110:12)

It's hard to read.

Glenn Beck (110:13)

You take it seriously as a military critique.

Stu Burguiere (110:15)

You know, hey, you know, you know, Jew lovers don't come to our new Nazi camp. Okay? I don't think we use Jew lovers then. I think that's a sign. That's a wrong thing to use. Glenn Beck. Okay. Some people, you think you spend time just, you know, you. You just sleep and it's just a break from the business of the day, but it's actually more important than that. This is when your body heals. This is when your mind sorts the things out that it can't sort during the day. You know, sometimes you're moving so fast, it's like your brain is like a file cabinet and everything's just jammed into a drawer. Your body needs to sleep, and your mind needs that to shut down for a minute so it can refile everything. You know, it's working quietly in the background while the world's world goes dark. And if you're not sleeping well, you feel it. You get all the foggy in the morning, your mood slides downhill. You just can't think straight. I don't know what was that it's duller and not because you're lazy but because your system is running on half power. That's why I highly recommend you do what I do and take Z Factor. It's a natural non habit forming sleep supplement designed to help you fall asleep fast and wake up clear headed. Imagine no more groggy mornings. Imagine having the sense that you got some restoration. Not just rest restoration. You know you can't outlast exhaustion. Go to relieffactor.com and get Z Factor 1995 for a 30 day supply.

You know, every show today can talk about the theatrics of Senator Padilla and Senator Warren yesterday, but it takes the special podcast to introduce you to Masterpiece Theater. Tonight we present a spectacle so sublime, so stupendous, it shall sear itself into the annals of human history. Behold America's greatest thespians, nay titans of the stage. Senator Alex Padilla, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Senator Cory Booker. Prepare yourself for a torrent of fear, a deluge of tears, a veritable hurricane of histrionics. First, witness Senator Alex Padilla as the poor, downtrodden, utterly helpless, yet inexplicably powerful senator from California. See him bum rush the stage in a mostly peaceful, chaotic sort of way. Then Senator Elizabeth Warren takes the stage with her heart wrenching monologue which we've dubbed the Trail of Tears. Watch as she channels the anguish of a thousand ancestors, her voice trembling with the weight of a nation's sorrow. Or possibly just a really bad day at the Capitol cafeteria. And finally, Senator Cory Booker unleashes the full outrage in our climactic opus, the coming of a tyrant. Feel the earth quake beneath his righteous fury. Marvel as he roars defiance. Is every syllable a dash to the heart of despotism? Or at least to the heart of anyone who forgets to mute a zoom call. So, dear audience, gird your loins for an evening and episode of passion, pathos and possibly a few pulled hamstrings, because this is Masterpiece Theater. We join the action now in California. California at a Christi Noem press conference. And in the room somewhere in the back, Senator Alex Padilla. Let's listen in the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city. So I want to say thank you to every single person, person that has been able to do this, Senator Alex Padilla. I Have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is.

Jason Buttrell (115:04)

A half a dozen criminals that you're rotating on your.

Stu Burguiere (115:09)

On your.

Glenn Beck (115:10)

I also wanted to.

Stu Burguiere (115:13)

How dare them? How dare them, indeed. Okay, so here he is. He's identified himself after he bum rushes the podium for a lie press conference. He comes in, bum rushes. He is not wearing his Senate pin, which would identify him. They have no idea if he's a senator or not. I've never even heard of this clown. Certainly wouldn't have recognized him. He looks like somebody you would find, I don't know, sitting in the center of a Wendy's, you know, for lunch. I. I don't know who this guy is until they get him out of there, as they should. I don't know if you know this, but this was his big stage debut. This was his moment. But before Israel could strike, in those waning moments of his fame, Elizabeth Warren takes the stage. And here in the episode we call the Trail of Tears, she says this.

Glenn Beck (116:14)

When Senator Padilla gets pushed, shoved, thrown.

Stu Burguiere (116:21)

To the handcuffed because he is asking questions, because he is engaging in the.

Glenn Beck (116:28)

Very oversight that senators are supposed to.

Stu Burguiere (116:31)

Engage in, then what we're really talking about here is a Trump administration that just wants to shut down the ordinary functions of government.

Glenn Beck (116:42)

He went there to observe and to ask questions.

Stu Burguiere (116:45)

Oh, here's a bonus.

Glenn Beck (116:46)

And I watched with horror video seeing these agents grab my colleague, my fellow senator from California.

Stu Burguiere (116:56)

Grab him. Oh. Push him out of the hearing.

Glenn Beck (116:59)

And I am.

Stu Burguiere (117:00)

I am shocked, shocked by how far we have descended in the first 140 days of this administration. Goodness. Because Alex Padilla forcibly kneel before this executive. When does it stop? When. When, dare I ask, Senator United States. You can force him to kneel to his knees. When does it stop? This is a test. This is a crossroads. This is a day in which the character of this body will be defined. I say, dare I say, a day which will live in infamy. I shall not bow or even introduce myself or, you know, I just gonna crash the press conference and then just try to hijack it. Uh, that's all I'm gonna do. That's all I gotta do. How dare you stop me. Uh, when did. When did the Senate lose its decoration? I mean, I expect this now from the, you know, from the Congress generally. We've always known there are a few clowns in Congress, but now the senators are all doing it.

Glenn Beck (118:14)

I mean, there's nobody better at it than Cory Booker, though. I mean, you want to talk?

Stu Burguiere (118:19)

He is good.

Glenn Beck (118:20)

Pathetic in Every single way.

Stu Burguiere (118:24)

I love Titan of the Stage.

Glenn Beck (118:28)

Glenn. Now you're a bit of a historian. You own a museum, right? You've been looking back at our history and throughout it. At any point in the Federalist Papers or in our founding documents, was there a path created for a senator to talk to a government official other than interrupting a press conference? Has anyone ever thought of a way for them to meet, discuss an issue of importance?

Stu Burguiere (118:54)

No, it's in section two, subject section three, okay, of the Constitutionist part where they say, you got questions, you got questions, you gotta storm the room. You just gotta storm the room.

Glenn Beck (119:13)

Don't tell anyone you're coming. Don't announce yourself in advance, don't talk to the security, say, hey, just by the way, I'm to go talk to. My name is Senator Padilla. I'm going to go up and talk.

Stu Burguiere (119:21)

If, if you did say that. And they said, sir, this is a closed press conference. She's not taking any questions. This is just a live broadcast. You can wait for her, she'll talk to you after. And then you say, I have a right to storm the room. Now how pathetic is it that they only had this little, they had this pathetic little 20 minute period and now nobody's talking about, oh, I know.

Glenn Beck (119:45)

I will say the greatest party hurt by Israel's actions overnight was not Iran, but it was Alex Padilla's fundraising. Because this was his big plan, this was his big moment in the sun. He was gonna take in millions of dollars and get all this attention and get all these MSNBC hits and all the things that every senator seems to go to Washington for these days. Cuz it's certainly not making laws. And he was gonna have this wonderful wave of attention and he instead remain the giant zilch he was yesterday. He's going to remain a giant, pathetic, empty nothing of a senator that I might note you as a radio hall of Fame member and a person who follows this every day did not even know who he was.

Stu Burguiere (120:32)

I mean, it was kind of like, you know, this guy named Alex Padilla maybe, I don't know, heard the name, he's a senator, perhaps. Is that the. Where is that the ball club in Washington D.C. yeah. No, it's incredible.

Glenn Beck (120:53)

And that's who he is. I mean he, it's funny. Like the successful version, I suppose, of all of this is Cory Booker, right? Like he did this, you know, big speech a few months ago that everybody was talking about and that is on the heels of his, I think, 2% presidential run effort, which was Impressive as well back in the day. So I think he's got a huge future as well. Elizabeth Warren, kind of a trail of tears that we saw there.

Stu Burguiere (121:27)

There's no acting involved in that. She was just going into her kitchen to grab herself a beer and her husband's going to just kind of pop in unexpectedly. Whoa, whoa. Hey, husband, want to brew?

Glenn Beck (121:41)

The fascinating part about this is obviously they're bad at governance, but they're also bad at this. These are not convincing people that anyone could take seriously even if they tried.

Stu Burguiere (121:51)

Well, all they are now is just storyline. They are just telling a story. You, you're watching a play when you're watching the Democrats and the, the left. Now it is nothing but a play. What are they doing? They're getting ready for the big no kings thing on. On Saturday, right? All over the country. No kings. He. We's. He's a tyrant. He's a king. So they've been planning this one for a while. So what do they do this week? Well, they make sure that they say that he's acting like a tyrant in Los Angeles. Then they say he's acting like a tyrant because he's just scooping people up in the middle of the night. Then he's acting like a tyrant because he has a giant missile parade. And nobody does that. A missile parade. Nothing. Nobody but North Korea does that. And then this, they storm in. They know that they're going to be pushed back. They're hoping to be pushed back. And, and why? What do they, what do they get out of it? They all run to the, they run to the social media boxes and oh, my God, he's a tyrant. He's a tyrant. That's all they're doing is they're setting this up for him to be a tyrant. And it's not working. You're just not. I don't. I mean, I'm not buying it. I, I mean, as well as they're really stupid people in the country that, you know, look at that and go, I think those are real tears coming from that. That squaw. I think those are real squaw like tears. By the way, I heard the New York Times, the Daily with Michael Barbaro. Wow. They did the whole thing on the missile parade. Stu, you got to listen to it. This will dry. It'll drive you out of your mind. So this is what they said. They said first it was a bad idea. Why. Why did he do this? We're talking to expert on parades on the missile parade. Why. Why would he do this. Well, a lot of people are upset because no democracy does this, only dictators. Well, I'm gonna actually gonna get to that here in a second. But we don't do these things. And except. Except for Wilson, FDR, Eisenhower, JFK's inauguration, none during Vietnam, and then after the Gulf War with George W. Bush. But we haven't done these things. We just don't do them. We never had. Also, I would like to point out the, you know, the VFW and the Foreign Legion every year and thousands of parades all around the country, but, you know, they don't usually have tanks. But it's a really bad idea because it's also Trump's birthday, you know, now it takes them almost eight minutes before they also say, and it's the Army's 250th birthday. They never say, and by the way, we're going into the 250Fiftieth Anniversary of America. But it's just Trump's birthday. And then they say it's a bad idea because Washington, D.C. is a dangerous place and people could get hurt. Dangerous? What? Since when is Washington, D.C. dangerous to the New York Times? Are you a racist? My gosh. It's safe. And the new socialist mayor who defunded the police and painted BLM on the streets has that city running like a top. It's completely safe. But then it was too expensive. You can't do that military parade because it's too expensive. Yeah, $45 million it is. Now. My problem is you won't cut anything from the budget, even the corruption. So how am I going to take you seriously about the budget? And then my favorite is. Which is. They started with. They said, you know, Trump got this idea because he was over in France, and I can't explain France, but, you know, no, no, democracy does this. This is just dictators. We don't ever do this. You know, Republicans, I mean, sorry, republics or democracies, you know, they don't have these military. And they went on and on and on about how it doesn't happen. Except for our closest cousin, England, every year. I know, because I got caught in it last year. Oh, geez. They have something called trooping the color, and that's the official birthday celebration of the king or the queen and one of the oldest military traditions in the uk and they, they have all these guys, the military, and they do all these drills and they all march out into the. You know, and it's not even on his birthday. His birthday, I don't even know, is in Fall or something. It's a complete sham anyway. They don't have any missiles, but they've been dragging the troops out there, you know, so. So Prince Charles can stand there all day and just look at him and go, yep, they're my boys. Okay, so you do it in England. Then you also do it in France. They've been doing it Bastille Day military parade. Then you also do it in India. Didn't know that. Did you know that they do it in India and they also do it in another democracy as well. I'm trying to remember which one it is, but. So it doesn't just happen in North Korea. Shoot. I guess they were wrong on all fronts. New York Times. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Patriot Mobile. You know that feeling you get deep down in your gut when you find out your money, your money has been used for something you completely disagree with, with, you know, like your kids just took your credit card and write, and you're like, what, what, what is, what is this, dad, it was my school books. Well, I don't agree with that. Anyway, it's like a sucker punch when that happens. And every time you find it, there's probably several times it has happened and you didn't find it. You don't know. For example, when you pay that monthly cell phone bill, if you're with one of the big guys, Verizon AT&T T Mobile, you're not just paying for coverage. You're paying for political donations, for activist campaigns, for movements that oppose everything you stand for. And I think that really sucks. But that's the reality on the ground now. They don't tell you that. Fortunately, Patriot Mobile is the opposite. And they do tell you that because they're honest. They want you to know we stand up for the first Amendment, Second Amendment, you know, what the heck, the entire Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, and they put their money and their time where their mouth is. It's Patriot Mobile. They support the causes that you believe in. So make the switch today. Stop giving money to the other side. Patriotmobile.com Beck patriotmobile.com Beck or call 972 Patriot.

Hello America. It's Friday.

Glenn, two quick poll results I need to give you from my Twitter feed. First, an outstanding achievement in the field of self inflicted heroism. The nominees were Alex Padilla, Cory Booker, Greta Thunberg and she won, by the way. Greta is winning right now with 37% in last place. I'm surprised. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I thought he was a big hero on the left not getting the vote. And then if voting for New York City mayor, I would vote for Andrew Cuomo 13.4%, Zoharan Mandani at 3% and jumping off the George Washington Bridge at 83.6%.
