Imagine you just gotten out of your car and you're walking up to your house late one night. It's quiet, streets empty. Everything looks normal. But as you get closer, something just feels off. Your spider senses are. Or tingly. Maybe the garage door is open when you absolutely know you closed it earlier. Maybe a light is on side that shouldn't be. Maybe the front door isn't quite shut all the way. In that moment, you realize something important. You're about to walk into a situation you don't fully understand. It's frightening when you don't know what's going on and you have a loaded weapon. You've got to be very, very careful. It's much better to have a burner launcher.

Glenn Beck
Hello America. Welcome to Monday. There's a lot to talk about. We've got communists in Cuba. I mean, that's not a new Deal. But these are pink communists in Cuba, and they're just. It's just so arrogant. It's. It's hard to understand how they even. I mean, they are so completely out of touch, it's hysterical to watch them. What's not really funny is what's going on with Iran. We have a lot of updates on that. Robert Mueller died over the weekend. A little disappointed in Trump's comments on that. But I can understand his point of view. I mean, I guess he thinks the guy completely wrecked his life, destroyed his family in his first term. So I kind of get that, but wish he would have handled it differently. I said airports. Is that the way to go? I have no problem with that. I actually like Elon Musk's solution. We'll get to that here in just a second because his solution points to the bigger problem in America. But I want to start with what happened this weekend with war. We'll do that here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Rush Tax Resolution. We're now a month away from tax day. Yay. Don't you feel so patriotic? And you can feel the clock ticking. For some people, it's just another form to file. A lot of others, it's some heavier returns that you're not confident about. Money you owe or letters from the IRS and you haven't opened yet. That's a problem. That's a real problem. I know you know that, but it only gets worse. Penalties stack up. Options narrow. What feels like a small problem starts taking up a lot more space in your life. And that's where Rush Tax comes in. Rush Tax Resolution. They deal with this every single day. Back taxes, complex filings, the IRS notices. They know how to step in, who to. You know who to talk to. Take control of the situation and start moving you toward a real solution. When you mention my name, Rush will provide a free IRS transcript investigation. That's a service other firms typically charge about 500 bucks for. And those firms won't even confirm that they can help you. You just pay the $500, and then we'll tell you if we can help you. Rush will tell you up front and for free. And they'll only take your case if they know they can help you. So get Rush Tax attorney now. Protect yourself. Call 877-554-RUSH. It's 877-554-RUSH. Or go to rush taxresolution.com. all righty, then. Why don't we start with the war? Because that one seems to be not doing well. And let's talk to Jason. Bring him in. Our military expert and chief researcher. I'm going to get to the Trump Obama thing because this is just, just driving me out of my ever loving mind. Going to get to that here in a second. But Jason, let's go. Let's go over a few things that happened. First of all, the missile launch on Diego Garcia, that is not a short range missile, that's a long range missile. It's not an icbm. But it's the next step below it, which validates, if I'm not mistaken, everything that Trump has been saying that, you know, they had longer range and were working on ICBM and were close to it. And once they have an icbm, you could launch a nuclear weapon at Los Angeles or New York. And that is the thing that every president said, they can never, ever have that opportunity. Looks like they were really close, does it not?
- [06:38]
Jason
It does. So I mean, if they're lying about this, it brings into the question, what else were they lying about? And I think the answer to that is probably, well, pretty much every, everything they were lying about. When we first saw news of this missile launch, this lands in the intermediate range ballistic missile category. And if they can target Diego Garcia about, let's say like 4,000km away, they can also target multiple different countries in Europe. I mean, a lot of the map opens up on this and there was what was reported as two different launches, one failed mid flight, the other one was interdicted by US Anti missile capability. So I mean, for sure, I mean, it was reported as.
- [07:24]

So.
- [07:24]
Jason
So I wouldn't say for sure, for sure, but that's what it sounded like is what happened. But that's definitely scary and it definitely shows what they were building towards. And it also shows what the Obama administration's JCPOA did, did not even attempt to even look at. And this is what we were screaming about at the time. You're not talking about their missile capability, they're not talking about their proxies, none of that stuff. No, let's give billions of them and pallets and billions in unfrozen assets and allow them to continue to do this. This was why it was so horrible.
- [07:57]
Glenn Beck
Okay, let me take this on here while we're here. So let me just talk about this deal because the press is trying to sell you an old movie in a new box. It's an old movie, okay? They look at Trump, they look at Iran, they see the word deal and they say, well, there's something that Obama did. He did a deal. Oh, My gosh, you guys are so incredibly. You are lazier than Congress and more dis. Dishonest than Congress. And on something this dangerous dishonor. Dishonesty is not a minor sin here. This is. This is how you get to catastrophe, you know, with a smile on your face. Obama's deal was built on a single enormous concession. Iran could keep all of the machinery, it could keep all of the. Know how, it could keep the enrichment program, but we have limits. 3.7% enrichment. That's it. 300 kilograms, that's it. Okay. So none of the plants were erased or destroyed or reduced or demolished. None of it. Okay. And sanctions were lifted in exchange for restraint and monitoring. That was the architecture. Now everyone can argue whether it bought us time or sold out the future. We can argue about that. But let's at least call it by its proper name. It was a deal that accepted an Iranian nuclear program and then tried to place it in a box. That's not what Trump is doing. Everybody is saying Trump's deal is just like the Obama deal. It's nothing like it. Trump's publicly stated position is very different. No enrichment. Not low enrichment. No enrichment. No. No symbolic enrichment. Not a little enrichment for peaceful purposes. I don't even know if they can have enriched flour. No enrichment. Marco Rubio said to Iran, they had to, you have to abandon enrichment, abandon long range missile development, stop sponsoring terrorists, stop helping. Helping the Houthis, you know, and open the facilities to American inspection. Okay? When the envoy was there, you know, he said, America can't even allow 1% of enrichment capability. Dismantle these nuclear plants, blah, blah, blah. This is not a touch up of Obama's framework. This is a rejection of Obama's entire premise. And this is the part that the media just glides by, you know, because it ruins the slogan, it ruins the story for them. Iran didn't meet any of those conditions. They didn't meet him in secret, they didn't meet him in public, they didn't meet him on the record. They didn't meet him. In 2025, it was announced that Iran had not agreed to inspections and had not agreed to stop enriching uranium. Iran's own side said enrichment is going to continue. We love enrichment, except for our people. Reuters reported that the American red line was zero enrichment. Reuters also reported Taran said zero enrichment was a non starter. That, that's not a signed piece. That's a collision course. If you look at where Everybody stood in 2026, the, the IAEA, according to the A.P. iran still had a stockpile of uranium enriched up to 60%. Remember, 3.6 or whatever it was. That's way above that. Way above. And the agency still wasn't getting any access it needed. The E3 told the IAEA, the board, that Iran had already been found non compliant with its safeguard obligations in June 2025. So if you want to pretend the two approaches are cousins, meet reality, okay, she's here to break up your love affair. The. The public evidence shows Iran had not accepted Trump's core demands. It had not stopped the enrichment. It had not delivered the transparency that, you know, the Obama deal promised. You know, and it matters because, I don't know, words matter. You know, prison with bars is not the same as a demolition site. A leash is not the same as disarmament. Cap, not the same as surrender. Obama's arrangement said, you can keep the program and you can still run it, but just under supervision. Trump's not saying that. Trump stated position, although the teeth have to be pulled from this. These are not identical philosophies. They're not even kissing cousins. They're opposite answers to the same question. And the press knows this. At least it should, you know, but admitting it would force a more serious conversation. It would mean admitting that the issue was never merely whether there would be a deal. The issue was what kind of deal, what terms with what enforcement, you know, did Iran actually do anything that, you know, we flew him a pallet full of cash. That's, that's the ball game, gang. But the press just says that's just Obama all over again. Yeah, yeah, well, if you're stupid, you think it is, no offense to stupid people, but, you know, there's a lot of stupid people out there who just don't know how to, I don't know, don't know how to Google Obama's, you know, deal, Trump's deal, and see the difference. You know, so not the same deal. One was an effort to manage the threat and the other was to uproot much of the threat as possible. So while we are, you know, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not pleased with the way things are going. This is not the same deal as, as Obama. Now, let me get back to what is happening. What I'm not pleased about. We had the Diego Garcia again. That is evidence that they weren't doing the Obama deal. Now, Trump said, you have until 5 o' clock today or we begin to take out your power plants. That's a really scary thing. And he just came out this morning and said, okay, we're not going to do it today. We're going to give you five more days in the spirit of negotiation. Taking out the power plants, I mean, that cripples the whole nation, which is something he's trying not to do. But, you know, these are nuclear power plants. I mean, I don't know if that's the best. Jason, what are your thoughts on taking out the power plants?
- [14:46]
Jason
I gotta tell you, Glenn, this weekend, I don't know if I'm alone on this, but some of the first uneasy thoughts I've had about this entire war and where it's headed towards, and my first thought when the President made that threat was this sounds. It sounds kind of desperate. It sounds like it might be one of the President's only options. But I see those only options dwindling down the further we get into this. And if that happens, then you're looking at a lot more civilian targets open up from the Iranian side if they're able to strike back. So it's very possible that we've degraded them so far that they're just, you know, you know, spitting empty threats. But if it's not, then it's. It's very, very escalatory, for sure.
- [15:34]
Glenn Beck
Is it true that we are not able to rearm some of our allies in the Middle east with the missile systems that they need?
- [15:44]
Jason
I would say it's. That's not true that we are not able to. I'm sure there will be some delays, but. But, yeah, even if there are delays, then that's worrisome because, you know, that's, you know, more opportunity. I mean, there's usually an advanced. I can't remember the exact figures, but in a very, you know, active attack, like what's happening now, where they're hitting so many targets, I can't remember, as thousands. Like, I guess I think that's the last I saw was like 8,000 targets or something like that. But in that scale, you typically have around 8 to 14 days of being able to keep up that. That, yeah, that, that scale of attack. After that, then you have to. There's supply, you know, chain, you know, factors that come into it. So you have to wait for more supply to get there, more, you know, more arms, all that stuff. So if, if, if they're getting to that point, then, yes, there would be some delays. But I'm not in the logistics, planning. I, I don't know how long they're looking at this. They may have way more than that. But this is going off of, you know, years ago experience that I used to have with this. But, but yeah, go ahead, go ahead. I just, I'm just going to say that if they're looking at, if Iran does have the capability to strike back at, if they see that now more civilian targets are open for attack, that gets pretty scary. Then that limits the President's options after that. If that does happen, then what else is left beyond some kind of limited ground invasion? How long before that limited ground invasion goes to a scaled up, you know, ground invasion? These are the things I do not want to see and why I'm starting to get a little bit that I don't know that uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach where I don't like where this is going.
- [17:31]
Glenn Beck
So Iran said, when we said we will hit their nuclear power plants, Iran countered and said, fine, then we're going to hit water and power plants in the Middle east. Which then triggered the Middle east to write sternly, feel sternly worded letters. But this is the closest I've ever seen Saudi Arabia, Egypt, uae, even Qatar getting involved in saying, you know what, we don't want to be, we don't want to be in the history book saying we backed America and Israel on this, but we're about to get involved. And Trump is like, no, no, no, don't get involved, don't get involved, don't get involved. What does that tell you? Let me stop for 60 seconds. You come back and tell me what all that means. First, let me tell you about relief factor. If you're tired of waking up every day feeling like you just went 12 rounds in the boxing rings and you lost every single round, you know, not because you did anything crazy the day before, but because your body just doesn't bounce back the way it used to. A lot of people have accepted that. They say this is what getting older feels like. So they push through it, they work around it and, you know, hope it doesn't get any worse. But it doesn't have to be that way. Relief factor is a way that you could possibly get a lot of your life back. It's a drug free supplement that was created to help your body respond differently to everyday aches and pains. Supports your natural response to inflammation. It just helps your body do what it's supposed to do. And here's what really matters. The reason why I say, you know, it could do this, it's possible that it'll do this is because it works for about 70% of the people. Over a million people have tried it and over 70% of them are taking it every day because it worked for them. I'm one of them. But try it for three weeks. Take their three week quick start. Just if it doesn't work for you in three weeks, it's probably not going to work. But take it as directed and take it and watch what happens to your body. It's working for over 70% of the people. It might change your life. Reliefactor.com relieffactor.com 19953 day, 3 week quick start. 1, 800, 4 relief 1, 800, the number 4 relief. Releffactor.com 10 seconds. Station ID. I have some pushback Ricky's going to give us here in a second. But first, tell us what it means, Jason, with the rest of the Middle east because that on the surface that feels like good news because see, it's not US And Israel. It's the entire Middle east is getting involved. They've had enough of Iran.
- [20:09]
Jason
Well, I think that would be amazing if the Middle east for once decided that they were going to take care of their own backyard instead of relying on us to do it. The problem is they just historically have never been able to do that or never been willing to do that. They are kind of had the same, I guess, mindset as Europe did with us protecting all of Europe from the Soviet Union and then Russia. They're fine with us spending all of our, you know, bodies and, you know, equipment and dollars so that they can spend all of that money doing social programs and doing all that other stupid stuff that they do. Now, the Middle east is very similar. They're fine with us protecting all of their interests. But when it actually comes to the nuts and bolts of securing their own backyard, they very rarely do it. So when you see a, you know, joint statement, a sternly worded letter that usually amounts to public support for whatever we're doing to protect them, but rarely their own means of providing that protection for themselves. So we'll see if that's still the case.
- [21:10]
Glenn Beck
Right? They're talking about it now enough to where Trump is saying, no, no, no, let's why would Trump be saying let's not get you involved?
- [21:21]
Jason
The Gulf Arab nations not getting.
- [21:23]
Glenn Beck
Yes, yes.
- [21:25]
Jason
I, you know, I don't know, unless he just wants to maintain control and be the, and be the one that, you know, is, you know, primarily in charge of what's going on here. I'm not sure maybe there's, there would be a power struggle with who actually, you know, does, you know, A, B and C, you know, and securing the Straits of Horrors. I don't really know. But I think the best case scenario for this would be a united front, maybe in the form of like the Abraham Accords, that in something that includes Israel with the Gulf of Nations. But being the primary prime, the. They would be the primary, you know, executors of the security. Yeah, exactly. That would be the best case scenario.
- [22:06]
Glenn Beck
I love that.
- [22:07]
All right, some pushback. This come from Mark.
- [22:11]
Ricky
Victor Davis. Yeah, Victor Davis, noted historian at Stanford whose expertise is on military history. Jason, he gives a bit of a white pill. And he predicts that Iran will fall in two, three, four weeks if we see this continued pressure through. How do you, how do you respond to that?
- [22:29]
Jason
I see no indication of that on the ground. Unless he knows something that I just clearly don't. I've been watching geopolitical analysts look at this and they're looking at more of like a 6 to 12 month campaign if something does not, you know, address the security forces on the ground in Iran. And we have not really seen that yet. So if something were to happen to where this would be done in two to three weeks, we're talking about a major escalation. I'm not saying it's impossible. It's just, it's something that I'm not seeing. I don't think anybody else is seeing right now either. So I hope he's right.
- [23:01]
Glenn Beck
Going after. We're going after the irgc, right?
- [23:05]
Jason
I mean, yes, leadership, things like that, but security forces primarily are still intact on the ground.
- [23:13]
Glenn Beck
I wonder why we're not taking care of that. Or does that you think that all has to be done by ground troops? Because that would be a disaster.
- [23:20]
Jason
That would be a disaster. That's what they're looking at now for sure.
- [23:23]
Glenn Beck
Okay, well, good thing we have Lindsey Graham on the job because he said, we, we fought Iwo Jima, we can fight this. Do, do you know how many people we lost in Iwo Jima? Lindsay? My God, why don't. You know what? I'm gonna put a uniform and some boots on you. You go down, you, you go down and fight this war. Lindsey Graham. All right, let me tell you about my Patriot supply. Why do you set an alarm clock before you go to sleep, right? So you can wake up on time. Simple. You made the decision ahead of time that, you know, in the future, you know, if you're going to tame it, you gotta have a little help. You're taking care of it before it becomes a problem and you're sleeping in. Well, Consider this your alarm clock for preparedness. Because when something goes wrong, whether it's a power outage, a storm or something bigger, you may not get a warning week in advance. Did you see that? Only I think it's 50% of the American people or Republicans trust the power grid and in the 40% range, trust the power grid. So what are you doing besides just saying I don't trust it. Get ahead of the problems before they start. That's why my Patriot supply exists. So all you have to do, get reliable emergency food, practical gear, things you'll actually be glad you have with the lights go out. Now is the time. Preparewithglen.com find a limited time offer. It's ready for you. Whatever is coming your way, it'll be ready. You'll be ready. Preparewithglen.com see their preparedness special offer. Preparewithglen.com go there now.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. So all weekend, the Dow Jones were just, it was taking a bath and it was the worst week ever. And today the Dow Jones is up almost 700 points. Why? Because Trump just said things are going well in Iran. Can we not be the Dow Jones? Can we, can we not be whatever the latest is on what somebody has just said to make us feel really, really bad or really, really good. You don't want to be like that. You know, that just, that just leads to absolute disaster because nobody, nobody has any idea. We are so confused right now. And that is part of this age confusion and chaos and spit yourself out of that system. If you are feeling confused and chaotic, find the things that make you feel anchored and don't avoid what's going on. As you will understand next hour, I'm going to be talking about something that is really, You know, the top, top three things probably I've ever had to say on, on broadcast. In reality, number one thing I've ever had to say on broadcast. But you'll understand when I get there. You need to listen to next hour but without any kind of despair or lies in your life. You just have to know what the truth is and then just keep pushing forward on the truth. You know, I was just talking about Lindsey Graham and what he said over the weekend. This guy has never met a war he doesn't like. I want you to listen to Lindsey Graham. What he just said here's what I tell President Trump. Keep it up for a few more weeks. Take Carg island, where all of the resources they have to produce oil, control that island, let this regime down a vine. Is this going to though take Carg Island? Is it going to involve US troops on the ground? Let me, let me just read you something. The Atlantic does an assessment on that. They say U.S. troops may well take Cargill and we believe their ability to do so, but only to endure ballistic missile strikes, drone attacks, petrochemical smoke, all without a reliable means of obtaining logistical support. This has been amazing military operation, God Bless the Fallen, but it's a difference. We talk about troops on the ground. I trust the Marine, not that guy. I trust dod. We got two Marine Expeditionary Units sailing to this island. We did Iwo Jima. We can do this. Okay, Iwo Jima, not a good example. Why. It was a slaughter. It was an, it was a meat grinder. We lost so many people in Iwo Jima. If you're willing to do that, okay, then we have to have a different kind of conversation with the American people because the American people do not have a stomach, have the stomach for a meat grinder. They don't really even understand what the objective is at this point. You know, we've been promised this is going to be a short lived thing. It's, we're not going to have ground troops, et cetera, et cetera. And you know, then you throw in Iwo Jima. No, no. But let me show you how easy it is to get lost on this. Here's Lindsey Graham saying, you know, the guy has never met a war he doesn't like and we should do this, we should do this, we should do this. I am saying we don't have a choice. Now whether you like it or not, we don't have a choice. We have to, we have to fight this to win this. I don't know what that means. And if you're talking about ground troops, that's a whole different conversation. But you could listen to this and say, well, Glenn Beck's saying the same thing that Lindsey Graham is saying. No, no, no, we're not. No, we're not. Same thing could be said a little while ago. I was saying this is becoming very, very concerning and we are in trouble, I think, and we just have to be very, very careful. Now you could listen to that and say Glenn Beck is against this war. Just like, like, just like, you know, Joe Kent is. Well, no, I'm not saying the same thing that Joe Kent Is jokent is against the war and says this could be very, very bad. Glenn Beck is saying, I don't know about this war, I trust the President, I trust our military, but I'm very nervous about it. But you know, if we're going to go deeper into it, that changes the ball game here. I need to hear more from the President of the United States. Similar maybe, but what Joe does is he goes further. This is how you get lost. Let me tell you a story. Let me tell you a story about a ship. It's in New York harbor and it's got a hundred day crossing. It's going to take 100 days to go to England and it's planning on docking in England and everybody is ready to go to England. They're all very excited, but none of them really know how to read the stars, you know. You know, they trust the compass and a few charts, but they're not sure the compass, how that really works either. But the word is, you know, who's ever at the wheel, just hold her steady, just hold her steady. Okay, London that way, few degrees here and there won't matter, right? Well, let's just say that every day the ship runs on the old tradition of four hour watches. So somebody's got the helm. That's six times a day, 24 hours, the helmsman's change. And each time a new man takes the wheel, something small happens. Okay, the first helmsman, he's tired from the night before, so he just swings it one degree too far south. Close enough, okay. No one's going to notice a single degree on a ship this big. He's not wicked, he's, he's not just lazy, you know, he might be tired that our next guy comes in, glances at the compass, thought the previous course looks right enough, but you know, he's off by a degree this time it's just easier on his shoulders because he's, he's sore, you know, he was working out, you know. Third man, distracted by a story he was telling, drifted another degree. And so it goes on night after night, watch after watch. Not one of them choosing the wrong course. Not one of them saying we're all of them believing we're going to London. But just a tiny misjudgment. Not wrong, just not right. Almost right by one degree. One degree at a time. Well, by the end of the first week, the ship is now 10 degrees off course. No one noticed. Sea looks the same. Wind, still feeling the sails. Daily log, steady as she goes. Second week, the drift is now 20 degrees. Officers shrug. We'll correct it tomorrow. Well, tomorrow never comes. The mathematic. The mathematics of the sea. Merciless. Same of the air, same with life. London initially 51 degrees from New York, Florida. A sunny beach. 201 degrees. The difference is 150 degrees at 1 degree of error per watch. Six watches a day. The ship needed 150 shifts, shifts to swing from London all the way around, going to Florida the 25th day. The helmsman on the day watch feels the wheel answer strangely. It's a little light in his hands. He checks the compass, he kind of blinks, shows the card, shows 201 degrees dead on for Miami. The ship is no longer almost headed for London, it's headed for Florida. The coast of England is now behind them and to the north, the coast of Florida is somewhere just over the southern horizon and drawing nearer every time. How did it happen? How did this happen? Imagine being the captain. Well, I guess, I mean, how did it happen? I mean, nobody really failed. There wasn't one failure of one guy. No one had mutinied, nobody. No great storm had blown them off course. Just a thousand tiny decisions, each one easy, each one smaller, each one almost right until they were headed towards Miami. That's life. You're going to hear from a lot of people, including me, that might be almost right. In your life, we must be correct for your course. You must be correct. What is your compass? What is the thing that you check every day and go, am I on course? Because I have news for you. Social media, it's going to take you 1 to 10 degrees off course, but you could do it every day and it's just a little, just a fraction of degree off course every day because of social media. You could get so wrapped up in your worry of war and politics and everything else that that could take you a fraction of a degree to 20 degrees off course. You could start listening to somebody like me, use me as an example. And you're like, yeah, that guy's right. But you're not listening entirely to everything that I say. And so if you're just blindly following, you're like, well, but I agree with him, but I might be headed in a place where you don't want to go. We have to be very, very, very careful on the influences in our life. We have to be. Much more discerning on everything that we do. And every life is about to change and we all need to be aware that we are in charge of our course and setting it every day and be Aware of the little things. My shoulders hurt, so I'm just going to let it drift a degree. Everything we do has a consequence and we don't notice it until we're headed towards, well, this sounds like a good thing. Till we're headed towards Miami and not to London. We don't notice it until it is way off course. Just be careful. The little decisions matter. Life, like the sea, keeps exact and perfect arithmetic. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's preborn. What if you could see something that most people never get to see. A heartbeat. This weeks into a life that was just beginning. For a mom facing an unplanned an unplanned pregnancy, that moment can change everything. That is a huge course correction. Okay? Something that feels scary, uncertain, overwhelming. An ultrasound will make it real. But here's the problem. A lot of women never get that moment. They don't have access to a place that will slow things down and offer support and then let her see what's actually there. That's what preborn does. They provide free ultrasounds to women in crisis pregnancies. They give them a chance to see their baby, hear the heartbeat and make a fully informed decision about what comes next. They are in the highest abortion areas and usually they try to be almost next door to Planned Parenthood. Give the woman a choice. It might be coming to Planned Parenthood and go, you know, I'm going to try this one because the what she finds inside is completely different. $28 provides one ultrasound. 140 helps five mothers. And every dollar saves babies and shares hope. Donate now. Be a part of this. £250. Say the keyword baby. That's £250, keyword baby.

Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways. We lock the doors, we install the cameras. But there's another way that your home can be targeted and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property. It is actually called home title fraud and it's exactly what it sounds like. Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county, they transfer ownership of your home into their name. And then once all that happens, they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under you. The scary part is like you don't really know much about this as it's going on. Regular homeowners Insurance doesn't typically protect you from this and the mortgage company isn't looking for it either. That's why you need Home Title Lock.

I have to tell you, you know, people have a hard time finding the truth. Well, here's one way you can find the truth. This is one detector and it is not. You don't use this in a vacuum. You have to use this with other things as well. But one of the things that you look for is who is causing chaos. When chaos is involved, you know, that's not from anything good. Chaos is never a good thing. For instance, look at the way we went into all of our previous wars. We've gone in creating chaos. We destroy absolutely everything that causes chaos. You topple the regime and then you have to try to piece it back together. Chaos is a very bad thing. So what is Trump doing on this war now? I'm not saying it's good, it's bad, it's going to work out. I'm just saying look at the way he's gone into it. He is saying no chaos on the ground. We are not going to bomb them back into the Stone Age. We are trying to just get things done and bomb enough to take away their ability to harm their neighbors, to harm Israel and to harm us and then hopefully there will be a regime change, but we'll work with it. The same thing he did where? The same thing he did in Venezuela, the same thing he's doing in Cuba. We're not going to bomb them into the Stone Age and then have to rebuild them. Cause chaos. We're going to take measured steps. Okay, what is happening with ice that is nothing but causing chaos. Ice. Let me start there. Ice. Who caused the chaos? What is. Why is ICE having to go into our cities? Because somebody caused chaos and said no border rules. And so we just let everybody in and we didn't even know who they were. Total and complete chaos. So now Donald Trump comes in and says we have to control the chaos. We have to get a handle on what is going on in our country. Who is here? And we gotta get the bad guys out. Okay? That's law and order. But the agents of chaos, what are they doing to fight back? They fight out in the streets. They try to cause the chaos of ice bad. Orange man bad. Iceman bad. And. And blurring the lines between what's legal and what's illegal. Now we have. Because they were fighting ice, somehow or another, TSA is involved in that, and they're not involved in that. The ice, the money for ICE has already been approved. Um, and so what they decided to do is hold the money back from dhs. Well, DHS is what's protecting us. You have all these people inside that you don't know who they are. So now we're not able to watch domestically any terrorists that we might have here. But also, because you're not funding things like tsa, you now have what at the airport? It's not just long lines, it's chaos. Some. Some airport. Some airports that are run privately, they don't have a line. If you're not run privately, you have a giant line sometimes. And you never know when you're going to the airport. You don't know. Could be four hours, could be no hours, could be 20 minutes, could be an hour and a half. You have no idea. That puts your life into chaos. It puts the airports into chaos. It puts the country into. Into chaos. Why? What are they doing it for? I think they. I honestly, I really, truly believe a lot of it is just to create chaos at a time. We need order, we need law, we need structure. What are the Democrats giving us every step of the way? Chaos. They are partnering with agents of chaos. They are partnering with social socialist revolutionaries with anarchy. That's chaos. This is an easy way for you to look at the news and say, am I on the right side or the wrong side? Look for chaos. War affects supply chains. And right now, one of the most important shipping routes in the world, the Strait of Hormuz along Iran's southern border, is under massive strain about 20% of the world's oil passes through it. And when conflicts in that region happen, it is effectively closed. Right now, consequences will ripple out fast. Air freight costs have already soared by as much as 400%. Some shipping routes now require detours that add close to a million dollars to a single voyage. And those costs are passed right along to you. Experts are warning that this could escalate before it even starts to settle down. What happens the next time you need a prescription and the pharmacy can't get it? Jace Medical this is why they exist.

There have been a handful of times when I have cracked mic open and knew exactly what I was supposed to say with you say to you and talk to you about and it was all the way to the. To my bones. I knew it. This is one of those days. I want to have a conversation with you about war. America is at war within and without and what all of this means and a way for you to view this. We begin in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about real estate agents like trust.com. one of the one of the insiders Justin wrote in recently said just want to thank you personally for giving me the opportunity to sell my house through real estate agents I trust. We listed it during a really slow time of the year and we were on the market for over 55 days which we kind of expected. But we got an offer last night. We countered with a $5,000 guarantee. They accepted it this morning. We close April 19th. The agent was really knowledgeable, very professional. Thanks again for all your help and thanks to Ken from the Stern team. Thanks for all you do and your show. And, and thanks for the passion, for your craft. You know, there's nothing else I can add. Realestate Agents I trust Dot com. Go there. We'll help you find the right agent that will make it really, really easy. The name says it all. Realestate Agents I trust Dot com. Thanks for writing in, by the way. I want you to take a look at the world that we are standing in right now. A war with Iran that is already drawn in the United States and Israel and starting to separate people. Oil routes are threatened, missiles crossing borders, regional powers trembling, the Vatican pleading for bombs to stop. There is a description of these times at the end of the Bible. It's wars and rumors of wars, and that's the way everything kind of feels right now. You know, you might have heard your father, your grandfather say, there are no atheists in a foxhole. The prospect of war, even one across the world, makes people reach for ancient stories and holy books. Whether you're religious or not, it happens. And there is something unsettling that is going on and something about this war in particular, that makes us think about the ancient world and the beginning of everything, but also the end of everything. You know, whether that's nuclear war or the apocalypse, things that none of us want to think about, we don't want to think about those things. Christians believe that upheaval, apostasy, calamity, a moral collapse are signs of the end, but we don't know when that end is. This has happened over and over again all throughout history. Some Jews look at Israel restored in their land, surrounded by enemies, and asking whether, wow, is history moving to the place where the Messiah, as promised to the Jews, is coming. Muslims, especially with the Shia eschatology, they hear this language of oppression and chaos and deception and war and ask whether, is Trump the Dajjal? Is he the. Is he the Antichrist? They're actually saying that in parts of the Middle east he might be the Antichrist. Is the Mahadi coming? And their own tradition speaks of widespread injustice and the Mahdi being revealed. Jesus comes back, but not as Jesus, as you know, anyway. The deceiver following falling, the Great Satan falling, and history rushing towards a reckoning. So let me talk to you about what's happening here. What do you see happening? The world's great faiths are not suddenly agreeing on every doctrine. They're doing something more haunting than that. They are all staring at the same storm, each from a different tower, each from a different text, each with a different vocabulary. But they're all looking at the horizon and saying in one form or another, this may not be ordinary. Civilizations don't merely collapse from bad economics or failed diplomacy. Sometimes they do. They collapse when they lose any sense that eternity has a claim on them. When nothing is sacred and everything becomes negotiable. And we have been here in the last 25 years. Marriage is negotiable. Truth is negotiable. Whose truth? What truth? Your truth? Children become negotiable. They're not your children. They belong to somebody else. The school, the state. We can do whatever you want because they're not underage. Really? We can adjust their body. How do you know what sex is? Justice is negotiable. Even human life is negotiable. And once people have lost the permanent, they become the perfect prey for the intermediate. And that's where we are right now. And believe it or not, everyone in every land on planet Earth is prey. We are all distracted by notification. We are hypnotized by politics. We are consumed by work. We're buried in debt. We're entertained to death. We're arguing about personalities while the foundations of the world shake beneath our feet. And yet we don't stop and say, what are we really arguing for here? Isn't there something bigger here? The deepest question is not whether this is the end of days. The deepest question is, if it were the end of days, would we even notice? Or are we all too busy scrolling, too busy branding ourselves, too busy chasing comfort, too busy treating the soul like an afterthought? I've been thinking about this a lot over the last few weeks, and it is important that you hear me. If there's even a possibility that this is such a time, then our conversations are absurd. We should be talking less about who won the clip of the day war and more about whether we are right with our maker. Less about endless outrage machine and more about repentance and forgiveness and courage and discipline and empathy and mercy. When's the last time your social media said to you, what kind of man are you becoming? When's the last time you pondered that? What kind of a woman am I becoming? What have I taught through my actions, through the way I live my life? What have I taught my children to worship, comfort, success, identity, tribe or truth? Do they know what truth is? Have I made peace with my neighbor? Have I made peace with my family? Have I told my family what matters most? And am I living my life that way? Have I lived my life as though history is random? Or have I lived my life and am I living my Life today, knowing that one day I will have to answer for the life and for every minute I was given. For over 30 years, I have made a living looking ahead, connecting dots, sometimes seeing patterns before they fully form. And if you've listened to me for any length of time, you know this already. But there's a lot of times I am not right. I'll say it. There are a lot of times I am out and out, wrong things I misunderstood times I moved too fast, times I trusted the wrong sources, filled in the gaps with my own conclusions. That's real and that's all on me. But there is another part of my record that matters. Because when you step back and you look at the Ark, there are moments, if you've been listening to me for a long time, that are hard to ignore. In 1999, I spoke about Osama bin Laden and I said, there will be a major terrorist attack on New York City with blood, bodies and buildings in the streets. Two years later, it happened. In the early 2000s, I warned about our financial system, stressed beyond reason something that could snap and take the world down with it. In 2008, it did. I thought it would lead us to a Great Depression. I was wrong because I didn't see tarp. But when I saw tarp, I said, these interventions, the bailouts, they're going to stabilize thing in the short term. They'll fundamentally change our system and they will delay a deeper reckoning. And that deeper reckoning is still ahead. It's not a victory lap. This is a timeline. I've talked about the ideological movements, the Marxist, anarchist, Islamists forming strange alliances that nobody said could, nobody could say they would ever do. I was crazy for saying it. I warned that they would create chaos in the Middle east and then chaos in Europe, and it would lead to massive migration waves that would test the cohesion of all Western nations. It would come here to America and cause chaos in America. And its plan was to topple the Western world and Western civilization. That was something that was nuts when I first said it. It's not really now, is it? Years ago, I spoke about artificial intelligence in terms that sounded extreme at the time. That we could reach something like AGI around 2030, that it would disrupt not 5 or 10% of our jobs, but something closer to half of our jobs. That put me back then way on the edge of the fringe, lunatic fringe. Now I'm much closer to the center of the conversation. And that wasn't about jobs, that was about losing truth. So how do you reconcile the two Two truths that I have that I'm wrong a lot. And then I have these things that are, like, shocking. Here's the only answer I can give you. I know the difference between when it's when I'm reasoning something out and when something feels placed in front of me. And you can call that intuition, you can call that pattern recognition, you can call that experience. I call it listening to the spirit. I'm not going to force that on you. But I will tell you, I don't take credit for the moments that turned out right because I know they were not engineered or reasoned out by me. I know it and only I know it. So I can't prove that to you. But I have learned the hard way to be very, very careful about telling those two things apart. Because when it's just me, when it's just my analysis, my guess, my conclusion, I hold that loosely. I expect to be challenged. I expect to revise. It's why I say to you all the time in monologues, especially in the last few months, but especially about this war. I don't know, it could. I could be wrong on this. That's me. I'm trying to send you a signal. Whenever you hear me say that, I'm sending you the signal. This is my pattern recognition ability. It is my reason. It is. It's a chance that I am really wrong on this. That's what I'm trying to tell you when I say that. But when it's something else, something that arrives fully formed and also as a weight and a clarity and an urgency, I have learned, do not dismiss or ignore it. And that's what I want to talk to you about today. Give me 60 seconds, come back, clarify things here. You tell you about rapid radios. Ever have the moment when you realize you know something wrong, something went right wrong? Right now you have no, no, no way to reach people who matter the most. I think of 9, 11 on this.

I am not going to make a prediction or lay out a timeline or a headline. I today want to pass a warning. I feel more than compelled to share with you. Time matters right now in a way that is hard to explain with any kind of chart or data. The world is not falling apart randomly. There is a direction to it and there is awareness beyond what we can see. I feel compelled to tell you none of this is a surprise to God. None of this is catching him off guard. None of this is outside of his view and neither are you. I believe deeply that people are being called quietly, individually, across different faiths, countries, different lives. Not all with the same words, but with the same pull. You might feel it yourself. A pull to get closer to him, to simplify, to spit yourself out of the system, to return to the basics of how we are supposed to live. And I don't mean go live in a log cabin. I mean the way you're supposed to live in your own home. Because the times ahead are not going to be easy. There is going to be confusion. If you think you're confused now, you won't. You haven't seen anything. And there are going to be voices, loud, convincing voices that will try to pull you off course. And some will sound really righteous. Some, you will agree, listen to everything, but mainly listen to him. Some will sound like they're right for a while. 1% off course is going to make a big difference. They will sound urgent and they will sound like they have all the answers. They don't. I don't. I don't. I was talking with my staff this morning about the state of America and we talked about how it reminds us of the battles in the Bible where the enemy is just consumed with the spirit of confusion. Like a fog over their camp and they just start killing their brothers and their allies instead of who they're supposed to be fighting. They just all turn on each other. That fog has clearly fallen over America and we're watching right now. The left rip itself apart for years and it gobble other parts of the left and now the right is joining in. But beyond politics, we're ripping each other apart in our own families in our marriages. The spirit of confusion has us attacking the people we're supposed to be fighting with, not against. And it is a thick, thick fog, and it's easy to get lost in if you don't have your footing. If you're not grounded in something deeper than what's happening right now, you can and will get lost. Now, let me give you some good news. We make it. We make it. It's going to be fascinating to see how God solves all this, but we make it. However this unfolds, however difficult the road becomes, the story doesn't end in darkness. There is something on the other side that is glorious and worth enduring for. Something better than what anyone has ever known. But getting there requires preparation. Not just in what you store or plan, but in who you are. One of these days, I want to tell you some things about I always know when trouble is coming because I come under attack and my family is under attack now like it's never been. I mean, it's been bad in other times, but. And it's. It's playing on me. You have to get these things cleared up. Your family matters, your faith matters. Your daily choices matter more than any headline. I told my wife yesterday we have to double our work on feeding the hungry. We have to double our work on telling the truth. Leaving your sins, loving your children fiercely, like they're the only thing that matters. Honor your vows. Pray like heaven is real. Read the ancient words again. Stand down from hatred. Step, step away from the lie that politics will save only what repentance can save. And you know what? I hope I'm wrong. And you know, if this is not the beginning of some grand chapter, those are still the right things to do. We all need to live our life as if. You know, the life that we live, as if the Messiah is near, is the life we should live, even if he's not. So don't get distracted. Don't chase every new voice. Don't trust any voice, including mine. Trust the still, small voice. Don't dismiss it. Ever. Do it. Do what he tells you to do. And you know the difference between yours and his. It's usually something you don't want to do. Then do it. But time is short. Strengthen your relationship in God in whatever way you understand.

So I go into breaks and I ask, what are our insiders saying about. I asked, you know, my staff, did I, did I miss anything in that? Need to clear anything up? And then I asked, what is the. What are the insiders saying? And, and I usually look for the ones that are disagreeing because I can learn from something, something from that. And what's her name? Heidi. Heidi just wrote in and said what?
- [69:18]
Ricky
She said, if he claims God is speaking through him like he did Friday, I am out. Not acceptable.
- [69:24]
Glenn Beck
Okay, Heidi, Wow. What a great comment. I think God speaks to all of us. So I am, I'm not claiming to be a prophet. I am not a prophet. I think God speaks to all of us. And maybe if you're, if you don't believe in God, then we're not going to be able to bridge this particular gap. But he speaks to you just like he speaks to me. And, and we all have callings and like, you know, if you are a, if you are somebody who is prayerful, you know, you have a calling in. Let's just say you're stay at home mom. Your calling is to raise your children even if you're not staying at home. You know, you're just mom or, dad, your calling is for your children. So you have a right to have God speak to you about those things and have him speak clearly. And the more you align yourself with that, the better you are with that. But even then, you don't know for sure. And I have to tell you, I. I accept your rejection of that, of me and what I'm saying, and that's totally fine with me because that's your right to exercise your relationship with God. And if you say, no, I don't. I just don't believe that. Then don't. Don't believe that. I can only tell you what I feel, and I can tell you. And if you haven't had this experience, then maybe that monologue, parts of that monologue were meant for you get to that place, to where you do have that experience. Because I truly believe that you. If you don't know the difference between your voice and his voice, and you don't act on those things, you're not going to make it through the fog. You have to know the difference between your voice and his. And, you know, one of the things that is always so clear with me is, is it something that I'm like, ah, I don't want to do that. Because if it's that, I always know it's him. It's always something that is like, you know what? Apologize, make that call, do this, go visit this person, do. And you're always like, I don't know what. And there are times like the monologue I just gave you where I don't want to give that monologue. I know what that looks like. I know what that sounds like. You think I want. Do you think I want to give that monologue? No, I don't. I don't. Honestly, I looked at Ricky today and said, how do I give this without looking like an absolute and complete total kook? Right? Did I not? Ricky, this is true.

- [72:22]
Glenn Beck
And no, and I know that makes me look like a kook because I'm not on the mountaintop. I am not. And that's what it sounds like, but it's not. I would just urge you to do what you. I'm asking you to do with every voice, including mine. You take what you can take from it. Listen to the whole thing. If there are parts where you're like, that's way off base. That really makes me that. That takes everything in me and goes, warning, get away from it. And if that means you leave me, then you leave me. I would just ask that you prey on things that you don't dismiss from feelings. And then you say, when you hear things, does this lead me to a better place with God or a worse place with God? What was that about? What was I trying to say to you? I was trying to say to you, I believe time is ticking. I believe. I believe this. And I don't know because they, the apostles, thought this. But you know, it could be. Could be the time may not be, could be the time. Only time will tell on that one. But what did I say? Live your life as if it's happening right now. Get closer to God. Get closer to your family. Don't do things that are causing chaos or trouble. Be more reflective. Be better. Look for ways to serve one another. Live your life on the principles that we all have been taught are good. Live your life as if today is the last day before God goes. So, yeah, I called you home because I need to know what the hell were you doing with your time. Do that. Don't take shortcuts. Do what you're supposed to do and forget about all of the. Actually, I can't say forget about. Put into perspective politics and the news of the day and everything else. Put that into perspective. Those are the things that are happening to us now. What are you doing to deal with all of those things? How. How is that just because they're happening to us, that shouldn't change us? And if it does change us, it should only change us for the better. That's my message. If you disagree with it, then you know I can't help you. And you know, you may be right. You may be right. I can only live my life in the way I believe I'm supposed to live it. You don't have to believe anything. I know that my life turned around dramatically. I promised that I would do whatever he asked me to do. When I feel I hear him impress upon me something that I'm supposed to say. And I know the difference between. Usually I know the difference in this case and a few other, like three or four other times. I am very well aware who is in charge. I do it now. Maybe I'm delusional. Maybe I have a deep mental illness. I don't know. People have said it. You know, there's lots of people in the media who have said it. So maybe that. Maybe that's it. But as long as you check and say, is this leading me to a place of fear or a Place of love. Is this leading me to a place of being a better person or being more cutthroat? That's really how you judge truth on some of these things. It's going to lead to chaos or harmony in my life. That's what I would ask you to do and look into. All right, let me go to ICE at the airport. Shall we? I don't know. Can you run the. The ICE lines or the lines of TSA at all of the airports? We have some video of this. It's a pretty staggering. Some of the lines were up to two and three hours long. It is nuts how. What was the longest?

Glenn Beck
I think that. Well, it's different than what I wrote or what I read. I'm not sure. But what you read. But I will tell you, it's. It's horrible in some places. In some places. And the President has said, you know, we're gonna get ICE out there. Well, somebody's gotta do the job. Who do you want? Who do you want? Well, now people are saying, oh, well, that's just gonna make people, you know, illegals, afraid to go into the airports. Well, I can't help you with that. You know, ICE would be. Not in the airport. ICE would be looking for the really bad guys who have stabbed people and killed people and raped children. But you've. The left, the Democrats have shut down tsa, so we got to have somebody do it. Who do you want to do it? I prefer tsa. So the President is saying we should have ICE do it. Left is saying, well, that's going to cause. That's going to cause so many problems because of the. Okay, well, you're having a hard time evoking sympathy in me on this one for a myriad of reasons. You want to solve it, Fund the tsa. Same time, Elon Musk comes out, and Elon Musk says, I'll pay the tsa. Now, here's a guy who's the richest guy on. On Earth. He could pay TSA all day long and never feel it. It's like you going to, you know, buy a milkshake at McDonald's. Not that big of a deal, except this would be healthy. And McDonald's anyway. Why isn't he doing it? You want to know why? Because he can't just pay tsa. It's got to go to the treasury and then from the treasury to be allocated to the tsa. Congress has to vote on it to be allocated. This is. This is how screwed up our system is. This is what everybody hates about government. You know, there are times when you are in a real. When your ox is in the mire and you got to get it out and all these rules and regulations that stop you from doing the right thing. The right thing is to refund tsa, get them back working at the airport, and fully fund them. The wrong thing is to keep taking and. And saying, oh, we're not going to pay you, and then we're going to pay you for a while, and then we're not going to pay you again, and we're going to pay you for a while. You never really know. It's a really stable environment causing chaos in all of these people's lives. That's wrong. That's wrong. Elon Musk is trying to do the right thing. System is saying, no, you can't. That's how screwed up our system is. My. My dad said, you know how. You know how. You know how Truth. You can tell truth. Truth is like rain. It just falls straight down water. Just straight. Just straight down. And when it. When it bends, when it curves, it's because there's something impeding it. Otherwise, it would just keep running straight. But there's some obstacle in the way. And he's like, it's those obstacles. Whenever you see things bend, that's when you look and go, okay, there's something not true here. There's an obstacle in the way. Pay the tsa. Pay them. Pay them. Can't. What's the obstacle? Politics. Okay, Elon Musk steps to the plate and says, there's absolute chaos. What's the straight way? Pay them. Can't. What's the obstacle? The system. The system would work, but it can't because people are obstructing it. I think Elon Musk. I heard that, and I thought that. That, you know, as somebody who, you know, at least is a candidate for future Antichrist. He is a really good guy. I really. I like him. And he's just trying to do the right thing. And he keeps getting hammered over and over and over again. He's living the life of the billionaire that wouldn't we all like to be when we want to be that guy? If we were. If we were going to be a billionaire. Do you want to be Bezos, or do you want to be Elon Musk? You want to be any of these billionaires, or do you want to be Elon Musk? All right, More in Just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's the International Fellowship. Ever noticed how easy it is to feel far away from something you know, matters? You hear about conflicts around the world. People are in desperate need, you know, places that you may never ever see. And it all starts to blur together. Not because you don't care, but because it feels distant until you stop and remember these things are, you know, these are real people, their family, their children, people who wake up every day not knowing what the day is going to hold. That's where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews steps in. They connect you directly to the people who need help. You know, they provide food and shelter and life, life saving support to communities in Israel and all around the world, especially in times of crisis. That's what makes a difference. Your support doesn't go to a system. It actually reaches somebody, somebody who needs it, somebody who will feel it. Because sometimes the only thing standing between fear and hope is somebody decided, I'm going to show up. If you would, would you make a donation of $45 right now. Rush Life Saving Essentials to the Vulnerable under fire. 888-488-IFC J. That's 888488 IFCJ or go online to ifcj.org that's ifcj.org you show up, you work hard, you speak the truth even when it ain't popular, that still counts for something. Back. We'll be right back. If you're listening on the insider, you get something on Torch that you know, everybody else doesn't get during the commercials. Jason picks up and, and picks up where I've left off because I just don't have time. I just want you to repeat some of the stuff you just said to the insiders@glenn beck.com Torch Jason. Yeah, about the lines.
- [83:52]
Jason
It's just so ridiculous. You know, it doesn't just affect these, these lines that are happening. This, the delays and everything else happening. These airports. I feel like the left is just trying to say, look, this is bad because this is delaying travelers. Like that's, that's, that's the only thing on their mind. What happens every time there's even a minor delay, forget what's happening now. A minor delay in an airport. Well, you hear from the pilot right before you're about to take off, they say, oh, we're going to try to bump up, get the next in line. We're going to try to make up some time in the air. Everything gets affected along the entire chain so of course, they're under all this additional stress. That goes from tsa. It goes from employees in the airport to pilots to air traffic controllers. Everything is effective. And it's no wonder that we're seeing all of these either near catastrophes or now catastrophes like at LaGuardia, because this affects the entire chain of events. When will the Democrats step to the plate? When will they accept any kind of responsibility for this whatsoever?
- [84:52]
Glenn Beck
They won't.
- [84:52]
Jason
Probably never.
- [84:53]
Glenn Beck
I'm telling you the whole, I said this long time ago, the operative word for the future will be chaos. Get away from anything that is causing chaos. And that's, that's all this is. I mean, this is just causing chaos at our airports. Think about tsa. TSA can't do this. DHS also can't find the people that are here illegally that are possibly working for Iran. Today you see data Republican story. Data Republican has followed the money and Iran is funding some of these protests here in the United States. I mean, it's everywhere. And it's not just affecting the line at the airport is a symptom. It's a symptom. And you can only push people so far before they say, you know what? What the hell are you doing? And again, I think that plays to the Democrats advantage. If you want chaos and anger and everything else that's bad for our country, you just keep doing this. You just keep doing this and you'll get more of the same and angrier and angrier people.

One of the journalists I have a tremendous amount of respect for. He is the editor in chief and CEO of Just the News. His name is John Solomon. Want to talk to him about some of the biggest stories around. Also the Save America act, you know, what does Trump know? Are we really re litigating 2020 or do we have actual evidence here that we're in real trouble if we don't get this done? Also, TSA funding the commies in Cuba and I mean the American and Chinese commies that are Code Pink in Cuba. And the biggest stories of the day we're going to talk to John Solomon about coming up in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Z4 Factor. If you've, if you ever wake up after a full night's sleep and you still feel like you missed something, like your body was there in bed, but your mind really never shut off. Well, yeah, that happens all the time. You're already starting the day behind. Right. It's incredibly common. A lot of people have that same thing. We live with it every single day. But here's the thing. Relief factor can help you. You're getting the, you're not getting the kind of sleep that you actually need. You're not restoring anything. Z Factor is a supplement you take every day and it is designed to help your body wind down naturally and stay asleep. So you're not just clocking hours, you're actually getting rest. There is a difference between being unconscious and being recharged. I know. I'm a recovering alcoholic. Believe me, I know the difference between those two. Anyway, get the rest you need. 1995, 30 day supply. Relief factor. Call 1-800-4-RELIEF. It's Z factor from factor 184 relief factor.com all right, let me go to, let me go to John Solomon. I know your site is leading with the the Chinese spy. Can you give us an update on that John, before we get into the rest of the news of the day?
- [88:49]
Yeah, listen. Five years, almost six years after the US Intelligence community first discovered that China had gained access to Americans voter registration data, we're finally finding out the Congress had no idea, the President had no idea, the American public had no idea. And that's kind of remarkable because two years ago in Great Britain, when Great Britain revealed that it's a voter registration data had been accessed by China, hacked by China, there was national recrimination, there was a national crisis, major changes to security. There were people who were fired, there were hearings and blue ribbon panels. Great Britain took such a breach of the election system very seriously. But in America, the CIA, FBI, the dhs, in the end of the Trump, in the beginning of the Biden era, just deep six, it didn't let anybody know. So we head into the 2026, not even the president. And does that not evidence that the president. The reason I say that is because we have now a report from the ombudsman for the United States Intelligence community. And that ombudsman wrote that his name is Barry Zoloff and he wrote that this evidence was kept from the President himself. Specifically because US Intelligence analysts inside the CIA, inside the FBI, inside the Homeland Security Department didn't like Donald Trump. They called him the vulgarian in the Oval Office. That's actually what they wrote about their commander in chief in their own emails. And, and that they chose not to brief on this because they didn't want Donald Trump's policies on China to succeed. So you have an intelligence committee caught red handed Putting their political interest ahead of their country's interest.
- [90:33]
John, when is any of this going to make any difference?
- [90:36]
That's a great question. Right. We're a week into these revelations. The White House hasn't driven a narrative from the podium. You don't see Carolyn Levin talk about it on the podium. Even though the evidence is absolutely dispositive. We put the declassified evidence into. The president has put it up on truth. He's raised some concerns about it. The President's Intelligence Advisory Board, chaired by Devin Nunes, they announced today that they're going to be investigating this. Senator Ron Johnson is seeking the documents from the Senate Public Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. But the administration, which has everything to gain in helping the American people them understand this, fix it. For instance, we got a debate going on in the Senate right now over the SAVE Act. The Save America Act. No. None of the senators know if their state was hacked by China. That's something that the Trump administration bureaucracy could do today. They could set up briefings for the senators and give them that information. I don't know. I don't know. Apparently, they can only handle one thing at a time. Democrats can handle five things at a time. Right. But we, we seem preoccupied.
- [91:42]
This administration has proven that they can handle 100 things at a time. I don't, I don't buy into that.
- [91:47]
Yeah, well, if they choose to. But here's a, here's a situation. They knew it was coming. The White House knew this was coming. The CIA knew it was coming. The DNI knew it was coming. They released the documents, but they've yet to contact the senators and tell them what states are there. And so I continue to ask those questions. More coming.
- [92:06]
Who wins? Who wins? If we don't pay attention to this, I'm trying to figure out motive on why you wouldn't say anything. Who, what is gain?
- [92:16]
Right. China wins if their capabilities are still preserved. Because there hasn't been the sort of alert that Great Britain did. And then one could argue the Democratic Party doesn't. I say that only because of the documents that Cash Patel released last June that we broke here at Just the news in June of last year that China sent tens of thousands of fake driver's licenses into Chicago o' Hare Report to be distributed around the country. And the goal of that, According to the FBI's own counterintelligence sources inside China, was for China to register people to fake people to vote for Joe Biden, help Joe Biden beat President Trump in the 2020 election. Now, we intercepted those but it's pretty clear that China either has a preference with the Democratic Party or some sort of alliance with the Democratic Party based on what the FBI wrote.
- [93:09]
John, can you believe you live in this time? I mean. Yeah, any other time, any other time in our lifetimes, this would have shut everything down.
- [93:21]
Yeah, right. Should shut everything down. We should put our defenses that we should fix it. By the way, it's eminently fixable. But the partisan divide in America makes everybody see red when they want to see green. And when green, when they want to see red, there is no bipartisanship. Party becomes before country. And you see this sort of gridlock driven, bipartisan blockage.
- [93:43]
It's terrifying. How is the Save America act, if you've judged these things for forever, you've seen them, anything going to happen?
- [93:54]
I think it gets skinny down. I think at the end of the day some of the other provisions, including a ban on absentee voting for most Americans will be preserved because several red states like Arizona do it, Georgia does it, Florida does it pretty effectively. But if they skinny it down to voter ID and to citizenship checks, which are 85% popular in the American public, there is a good chance that they can pick up six or seven centers. Particularly when senators start to find out that their state was acting one of the targets of this Chinese influence operation. I think that's a very big thing that's going to come out. Listen, we're going to keep on the CIA, we're going to keep on the dni, we are going to find out which states there. We're told it's as many as 18. We're going to stay on it until every state knows that they were impacted by China's mal influence operations.
- [94:41]
You have any states so far?
- [94:44]
None. None. None whatsoever, no. But we expect that in the next tranche of documents.
- [94:49]
Talk to me a little bit about the FBI. They seized the records for Maricopa County. This seems like a million years ago now. And are we, are we relitigating this or have they found anything significant?
- [95:04]
I think in Georgia and Fulton county and Arizona, Maricopa county, the two big urban centers, the metropolis, is for voting. In those two states, the goal of the FBI is to find out, much like at the end of the day, gangsters sometimes get caught not on their mobster activities, but sometimes on taxes or technical violations to hold accountable those state and city and county officials who didn't follow their state election laws. There's one unique part to the laws that the Democratic Party helped pass in the 1960s. And it says that if a state doesn't follow the laws on the books for the elections and it does so knowingly and willingly, by the way, a county and a city as well, if there's a no full and willful effort not to follow the laws on the books for the state election, when it's a federal election, it becomes a federal offense. And so I think what the FBI is trying to create with the Justice Department is trying to create is deterrence, which is we may prosecute people for not following the laws in 20, 22 and 24 so that they do follow the laws going forward in elections. What are those laws keeping the voter rolls dirty when they're supposed to be cleaned up? You see a lot of problems with that. Just last week Harmeet Dillon reviewed, she's going through some of these voter rolls. She's found tens of thousands of non citizens who made it onto the voter rolls and she hasn't even gotten to California and New York and some of the big states. That's a problem. The law in those states says that noncitizens should not be on the voter rolls changing the ballot so that the ballots go out whether someone requests them or not. Some states vote ban that from happening or they, they don't do a voter identification like signature matches or which are required in Arizona or photo ID matches which were required in Wisconsin but waived in some circumstances in 2020. If those officials are showed to have done that in violation of the laws that their legislatures put up, they can be charged federally and that'll be the first accountability we had for a loosey goosey election system that has kind of been wandering about without structure for about 20 years. And this gets worse every election. We're now seeing an administration committed to holding the states to the laws they say around the book so that everybody's treated equally and if you don't do it, you could be prosecuted.
- [97:18]
I'd be refreshing. I believe it when I see it. The next thing on this same kind of subject is JD Vance going in after all of the corruption And John, I, I firmly believe, I'll bet you a third of our deficit is just waste and, and bribery and corruption and it's going to be found everywhere. Are we making any progress on this and will anybody actually be held accountable?
- [97:52]
I believe that a system is falling into place right now. We're seeing in Minnesota, mass prosecutions were up over 120 people. That's a large criminal case. I think at the end of the day California is just starting to ramp Up New York is start ramping up. You are exactly right. If you look at the GAO report, it estimates anywhere from 500 to $700 billion a year, which is about a third of the discretionary budget of the United States, is wasted either through going to dead people, going to ineligible people, going to foreign con men, going to domestic con men or con women. That is something that you don't need Congress to fix if you just enforce the rules that are on the book. And there's some really simple things that I think you'll see J.D. vance get done right away. Most grant programs, most entitlement programs, still don't check the dead person database at the Social Security for sending out a check. Now that's just simple basic due diligence. That could save a lot of money or tens of billions of dollars just doing that. Checking to see if someone says that they're living in Alabama, but their check is being sent to Moldova or Russia. Not to pick on any particular country that would find a lot of the foreign fraud that we saw rampant during the COVID 19.
- [99:06]
It's like that easy. Literally that easy.
- [99:09]
I have the former Comptroller of the United States who's I think, one of the smartest guys to. He's been saying this for 20 years now. Nobody's been listening to him. I think J.D. vance has dialed in these three simple recommendations from the Comptroller of the United States. The third is go in there every year. The GAO identifies high risk programs, programs that clearly don't have protections in place and have a long history of wasting money. Just implement the recommendations, which most agencies have not done. Those three things the Comptroller of the United States said could save between 300 and $500 billion. Not a single law needs to be passed by Congress. Not a single rescission needs to happen. Just that alone. If J.D. vance achieved that, that would be an extraordinary gift to the American public.
- [99:53]
Is that why they went after Elon Musk so hard?
- [99:56]
Oh, yeah. You're hanging over the Holy Grail. And you see now what the Holy Grail looks like right when you, when you dissect Minnesota. It is a. It is a plot that the Democrats have. First open up the border, then get nonprofits to move people to the blue cities and blue states, where you're trying to ramp up your apportionment, where you're trying to ramp up your representation, where you're trying to ramp up your federal funds algorithm and then keep them there by letting them defraud programs so that they're happy and they're making good money off the taxpayer because then you get another congressional seat or you get an X amount of extra billions of dollars a year. It's that. It's that coordinated. We see it. That's why when these whistleblowers came out in Minnesota and said, we told the governor, we told the attorney general, they weren't interested in looking at it. There's a system that the Democrats have built, and I think right now, for the first time, you're seeing it being dismantled piece by piece.
- [100:54]
I fear, you know, politicians are politicians. I don't care. Left or right.
- [100:58]
Yeah.
- [100:59]
Do you think this is happening in the red states as well?
- [101:01]
Oh, absolutely. It happens everywhere.
- [101:04]
Yeah.
- [101:04]
At the end of the day, because, you know, what happens is, you know, the head bones connected to the shoulder bone, the backbone is down to the leg. By the time you get to the leg bone, there's some man or woman in a blue city in a red state that's deciding whether you're going to get that money or not. Whether I'm going to check the voter, the dead database. And so getting. Because the federal distributions keeps going downstream, it eventually gets to either a crooked or an incompetent bureaucracy at the local level that administers those funds. That's what you see in Minnesota most times. Everybody knew there were problems with the autism program, Everybody knew there were problems with the food program. Everybody knew there were problems with the child care program. But the people at the bottom of the food chain, they didn't care and they didn't intervene. Now, did they not care for political reasons? Did they not care because they just weren't good at their job? We don't know the answer to that. But when those people start getting indicted because they didn't, they weren't good stewards of the money, you're going to see the system tighten up pretty quickly. And I think that's the next wave of indictments. All right, we got the fraudsters and the con men, at least in Minnesota. Now the question is, who downstream is getting investigated. We've seen criminal referrals from James Comer, looking at some of the people in the state government. We've got whistleblowers that have dates and times and names of when people were told and didn't act. When state officials start getting in, county and city officials start getting indicted for not protecting the federal funds that they were entrusted with, that's when the system is going to tighten up really quick because that's where all the abuse occurs downstream from Uncle Sam,

we're talking to John Solomon. You can follow him on. On X at J. Solomon reports. Also, he is the. The CEO and editor in chief and the founder of Just the News. I want to. I want to turn it to war here in a second, John. Let me take 1, 1 minute, and we'll come right back with John Solomon. If you've. Yeah. You ever watch your dog when you think, you know, you know, that you're distracted and they're distracted, they're just lying down. You know, their head is down, eyes are half open, and then if you look at them, there's this little shift. No, not a big one. You know, less energy than they used to have, their little shift. And their eyes just move, and they're not moving as much. Much as they used to. That is, you know, either because of old age or because your dog is missing some really critical nutrients in their food. If you're feeding your dog kibble food, everything good in it has been processed out. It's cooked at such high temperatures, all the good stuff is out. And, you know, they can spray flavor and everything else on it, but it doesn't give your dog, like, probiotics, the things that your dog must have. Um, so if you're feeding your dog kibble, sprinkle a little bit of rough greens on top of it. Rough greens is all of the additives that they need. It also makes them love their food a ton more. They race to the bowl and see if you don't see a difference in your dog. I saw big differences in Uno. We started feeding him food with rough greens on top. Total difference, 2, 1, 4. Rough Dog is the phone number. You can go to rough greens.com roughgreens.com use the promo code beck. Rough greens.com get your free jumpstart trial bag. Now. You just pay for shipping. Rough Greens.com promo code, Beck, 10 seconds. Station ID. All right, I know you've only got a couple of minutes here, John. I want to ask you about the war. Are we hearing everything we need to hear about this?
- [104:39]
Well, certainly not through the legacy media, something the president I talked about over the weekend. But you see now in the new media, the data coming out, and you see the extraordinary degradation of the Iranian military, which was pretty mighty a couple of years ago. Its nuclear capabilities are done. Its naval capabilities are pretty much done. Its air force completely grounded. It doesn't have the capability to attack regional and distant partners in a sustained fashion. So it's been reduced now to a menace. Now, a menace can cause great harm as it is doing right now in the Hormuz Straits and as it does when it fires a missile here and there and hits a really strategic site. But the fact that they're only firing a few missiles a day tells you they don't have many left and that they're just trying to pick their largest pain points. And that is a sign that the United States and Israel have pretty much military dominance over the area. And one of the reasons we know that Pete Hegset said in the Friday briefing, I think it was that we now are flying Warthogs and close in aircraft. That means we're going after small things like gunboats and small aircraft or small trailers with missile launchers on the back. That means we have total dominance of the sky. That's a good thing. The end game is not clear yet. The president sounded optimistic this morning about these negotiations. Iran's not been a very honest negotiator in the past, but they may be a lot more humble. But you wouldn't get this picture what I just laid out to you if you read the New York Times or if you read ab Associated Press. But most Americans I think are beginning to absorb it. They see the rubble. That's important for the president to keep the narrative driven from his communications capabilities and not rely on the media because the media is not telling the real story.
- [106:26]
Do people, are they free in the
- [106:28]
end, I think they're beginning to absorb it. There was an interesting poll on CBS yesterday which I think is very important. The majority of Americans still think it's not going well. So that means maybe 40% are getting the right data, 60% or not. But a majority of Americans believe it's important to get rid of this regime. They are with the president realizing that this regime has been a menace to society, a violent, hateful, dangerous menace to society for four decades. And now that we started it, they'd like the president finish the job. I think that part of the poll is really important. That's what this administration can tap into. More briefings, more driving the narrative from the podium is going to be important for the president the next two weeks.
- [107:10]

Jason, join me for just a second. I've got a guest coming on in just a second, but I wanted to get your thoughts on what John Solomon was reporting. He says the numbers and the picture that we're getting in the mainstream media is not even close to what's actually happening on the ground with this war with Iran. What are your thoughts on that?
- [109:40]
Jason
Well, I think there's a big element that, yeah, that I think a lot of us are missing because we know the President had, you know, listed out, you know, a timeline of weeks, you know, maybe, maybe a small amount of months. But then when we look at how the war is going and the direction I have, it doesn't seem like that's the case. I feel like there's something, yes, we are missing when it comes to either demonstrator support or something else. We know that today it's come out that the President has been dealing with some people in Iran. There have been some Iranian hardliners that said that's not the case. But we have. But the reporting now is that there are messages that are going through places like Turkey, Turkey, back and forth, using them as a middle ground to negotiate something over the next five days so that this next escalatory rounds of strikes don't happen. But they're now reporting that the person they're negotiating with is the Iranian parliament speaker, Mohammed Bagar Galabouf. Can't say that name. Right. Which is very interesting because he's a very hard line IRGC person. He's not who we actually thought was in the current line of succession of power. So I don't even think, I'm not even sure if they know who's in power right now. But there are conversations going and I don't know what those there might possibly be maneuvering into some kind of scenario similar to Venezuela, where it's not exactly what we thought was going to happen, like a completely new regime, but maybe a regime that has negotiated with the President to move it in a direction that keeps millions of people that do support the Iranian Republic from, you know, complete and total uprising. If this starts moving towards some kind of regime change. So it wouldn't exactly be the regime change that we're thinking, but possibly towards, you know, a similar outcome, but not with the devastating after effects, you know, a la Venezuela. So possibly something like that that we're not seeing.

Glenn Beck
So I. Brian Sternon, he is with Graybull Rescue, he is foundation founder and CEO. These are the people that went in and got Karina Machado out of Venezuela. Everyone was looking for her and his team went in. An amazing heroic story. If you've missed the podcast, just go to glenn beck.com torch and grab the podcast of this. It's a fascinating story, but he's in Israel right now. Brian, how are you?
- [112:07]
Brian Stern
Hey, Glenn, how are you?
- [112:09]
Glenn Beck
I'm. I'm probably better than you are. At least I'm safer than probably you are. What is the feeling on the ground there on how this war is going?
- [112:21]
Brian Stern
So this war is complicated to say the least. Right. We've been in and out of Israel, in and out of Jordan, other countries in the region. And it's a situation that is constantly changing and therefore the sentiment on the ground is constantly changing. And I'll give you an example what we're talking about. We've been evacuating hundreds of Americans since the Ayatollah got killed. We deployed right away. We were actually in Mexico and came all the way out here, my team and I, and we've been doing operations here Literally, about an hour ago, two days ago, El Al shrunk down their flights, okay? And then about an hour ago, they've suspended all their flights. So if you're an American citizen and you're in Israel, there is no way to get out at all. The State Department has said they did 24 airplanes and rescued 47,000 people. Well, that math doesn't really math because that means that each airplane had 2,000 people on it. So that doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. Not only that, every single person we've evacuated has told us they've asked the State Department for help, and it didn't come. So in the small sliver of my world of evacuating American citizens, even in that tiny sliver of this mess that we call the war, there's a lot of confusion and fluidity, and it's very dynamic, constantly changing. So if we say that that's true for something simple like getting Americans on airplanes or getting Americans on buses, as it relates to the regime and bigger issues, we must conclude that it is even more complicated and fluid and dynamic.
- [114:05]
Glenn Beck
Why would El Al cancel the flights if they were running limited? They must be expecting it's going to get worse for them.
- [114:13]
Brian Stern
The sentiment here on the ground is that it is going to get worse. And this is the problem with the Iranian problem set. Which is. Which is that you have multiple players. Multiple players, meaning you could be negotiating with one group, and that doesn't mean the other side will be listening, meaning you can make friends with the. With the Ayatollah. And that does not mean that the Iranian army will listen. You can make a deal with the Iranian president, and that doesn't mean that Quds Force will listen. You can make a deal with everybody, and that doesn't mean that Hezbollah will pay attention either, or follow. So there's. Everyone's kind of. All the bad guys are kind of rolling in the same direction as they always had, which is death to American, death to Israel. And let me be clear. I'm all about this war. Iran needs it. They need to be slapped. They're a threat to America. They've been a threat to America. They have killed Americans. I'm not a. You know, I'm all about this. I've been working the Iranian problem set one way or another for basically my entire career of 27 years to some extent or another. So I'm all about this. However, care and caution must be taken because you poke the hornet's nest. And we need to understand there's lots of Hezbollah guys in America. They're all over the place. For years, many American citizens are card carrying Hezbollah members, US passport holders, because we've been at war with each other literally for almost 50 years. So people have come here, had kids here, and now those kids are in their 30s and they're screaming, Death to America. If I'm the FBI, well, I really can't do anything until they do an overactive further and suggest some sort of material support to terrorism. Other than that, the FBI can't really do much. So this, this, the sentiment in Israel is they really understand the bad guys really well. I would argue we're not, we don't know them as well as the Israelis do. So.
- [116:13]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I know.
- [116:13]
Brian Stern
Why did Ella cancel flights? Because Ell and Shin Bet and Mossad and your mom and all the different units that are here, they really understand. They really understand that a cease fire could be declared tomorrow. It does not.
- [116:27]
Glenn Beck
I've never felt more safe on an airplane than I was when I was flying on Ell. How many Americans are still trapped there? And how are you getting them out? What, what is the main obstacle in getting them out?
- [116:38]
Brian Stern
Funding. Funding is always. We're a nonprofit. GrebelRescue.org is our website. We've done buses, we've done planes. But it all cost money. And I'll put it in perspective for you. Yesterday in donations, we made $2,100. That is not the cost of. No, and we did it. We did Americans yesterday. So there's, there's no way to get out of Israel at this time other than a bus to Jordan or a bus to Egypt. That is it. So State Department.
- [117:11]
Glenn Beck
I wouldn't want to be on either of those wells aren't. Neither of those are good.
- [117:17]
Brian Stern
You know, we've done thousands of people and a lot of them are Jewish Americans. You know, it's not exactly a great thing to come across the border with a fedora and, you know, all the things. But when you come with us, we've done thousands of Americans this way from Israel without any issues. So. So State departments doing is doing the best they can. They're trying, but it's. Again, it's government. It's government. So, you know, it's. That comes with its own things. Representative Nancy Mace came out here for a little bit. She was with us. I gotta tell you, my hats off to her. We are not political. We are not political at all. But I will tell you, thousands of people registered with us from like 50 districts in America.
- [118:06]
Glenn Beck
Oh, no. Did we Lose you. We lost him. He is in, he's in Israel. There you are. There he is. Go ahead. We lost you there for a minute. Go ahead.
- [118:16]
Brian Stern
Oh, sorry about that. Sorry about the wi fi here is terrible with missile alerts. So you said that there were about 50 different.
- [118:25]
Glenn Beck
50 different districts.
- [118:30]
Brian Stern
Correct. And I will tell you that Representative Nancy Mace is the only politician, the only elected official who represents people who has helped us in any way and bothered to show up. She was in Israel manifesting people. This was not a photo op. Contrary to what you hear, it was not that at all. She was manifesting people with my team, eating crappy food in the bunkers with us, the whole nine yards. And I will tell you not, I don't care about politics, but hats off to her for caring about her constituency so much. She herself went boots on the ground. I can't get elected officials to return a phone call at this moment to help out their own people.
- [119:14]
Glenn Beck
There were, what was it, 180 people injured just this weekend. The strikes getting worse? Better about the same. And what is the average, what is the average person saying about, are they, are they in for this long haul?
- [119:35]
Brian Stern
Most people are scared to death because these missiles are the size of school buses. So there's different kinds of things that blow us up here. We've got giant big missiles and then we have smaller things and then we got drones. The missiles, the hypersonic missiles go so fast, they defeat Iron Dome. There's no escape. And that's what just happened, is Iron Dome tried, missed twice and it impacted the Iranian regime. It just came out. They launched missiles at Diego Garcia. Shattering, shattering all common knowledge. All estimates from the intelligence community globally, the Americans, the British, the Israelis, you name it all, all assessed maybe they can do 2000km. Maybe most people thought even that was a pipe dream. Everyone kind of banked on 1,000 kilometers. They just shot 4,000 kilometers.
- [120:28]
Glenn Beck
So that is, that is a justification of the war. I mean, if, you know, I said early on I'll believe the missiles and the weapons of mass destruction, that they were close. When I see it, I've. We've heard it for so long. But that seeing it, I mean, a 4,000 kilometer missile is a very big deal.
- [120:50]
Brian Stern
That this is why when we talk about the Straits of Hormuz, if you really think about it, we did, the US did a 5,000 pound bunker busters and took out a whole bunch of coastal defenses that were holding the Straits of Hormuz at risk. All the, all the missiles that are there, the reality is they can hit something from the Strait of Hormuz anywhere in the country of Iran, anywhere, because they can hit England now. So this is why this war, it's a good thing. There's nothing wrong. You know, the president is getting a lot of flack for is this war justified or not? The Iranians are bad. They do. They are. The regime is bad. The IRGC is bad. Hezbollah is bad. The Houthis are bad. Lots of bad. They want to. They hate us more or less. The people can come or go depending. But from a military perspective and a terrorism perspective, they are an enemy. They are an enemy of the United States, listed in our national security strategy, the national defense strategy. This makes sense. No problem. The catch is, is that this has to be done in a very particular way. Because what I know is, is that when you're the aggressor and you attack a country, any country, the people will unite against those shooting at them. 911 was the best example of this. People forget we have very short term memories. On September 10, Rudy Giuliani was the most despised man in the city of New York. People wanted to drag him through the streets by noon on 911 because we were attacked. He was America's mayor, right? This is the same. This is very similar. Even the peaceful Iranians, who may be even hate the regime, who hate them, who have been oppressed for 46 years and they know it and they reject it and they want to protest. Once you start killing their sons, they get angry at whoever killed their sons. And in that case, that's us. So care must be taken if we want to get rid of the regime. Care must be taken that we don't accidentally unite the entire country against us.
- [122:51]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, yeah. All right, Brian, how do people help you get Americans out?
- [122:57]
Brian Stern
Number one thing, Please donate. If you're. If every one of your listeners gave. If you have a million people listening right now and everyone gave 10 bucks, I could rescue thousands of American citizens, thousands of them. $10. Grey Bull Rescue.org There's a big button there that says donate. Everything goes to the mission. Everything. Everything costs money. It's the Middle East. Gas cost money. Borders cost money. Visas cost money. Everything costs money. Intelligence cost money. Safety cost money. Food cost money. For my team, everything costs money. Please donate. I beg you. I beg you. The families beg you. There are thousand. We have a Manifest right now, 338 people, American citizens, just like you and me. 58 of them are under the age of 2 years old, begging to get out of here. And I can't afford it.
- [123:45]
Glenn Beck
Wow.
- [123:47]
Brian Stern
People stuck here. It's going to get. It's going to get worse, probably. I pray that peace breaks out. I really do. We're a humanitarian organization. We don't love what we do. We hate what we do because we have to save American lives from war zones. No American should be held at risk for one minute. We are three and a half weeks deep into this conflict. Three and a half weeks of people running back and forth to bomb shelters with their kids. American citizens, we're here to help, but it takes resources. We need help, and we need it bad.
