Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
We have a lot to get to today.

A lot to cover.
We begin in just a second.
You got to
get up.
Got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together, it's the corners of the light.
Stand up straight and hold the line.
You got to,
let us.
It's a new day I've turned around.
You gotta stand together if the colours of it.
What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
There's a lot going on.
Joe Biden is on his way to Israel.
He'll be there tomorrow just in time to delay any kind of
escalation of anything.
Is this really to help Israel or is this to hurt Israel?
We'll have more on that insanity, including the insanity of what's going on in Washington.
Jim Jordan is up for election today.
It requires the House Republicans to get their crap together and actually come together and do what's right for the country quickly.
Let me give you some names of the undecided if this is your congressman in your state.
Call them.
David Joyce, Ohio.
Steve Womack, Arkansas.
Blake Moore, Utah.
Ken, or excuse me, Jen Kiggins in Virginia.
Laurie Chavez de Remer in Oregon.
Andrew Garabino and Juan Siscomani as well, New York and Arizona.
Jake Elzey from Texas, Nick LaLata and Anthony
DiEsposito of New York, still undecided as well.
There's a bunch too that have said no.
We can give you those names maybe later on in the program.
I got to tell you, Chip Roy is going to be with us here in a second.
We just did a survey.
When we asked you to call Congress,
do you call Congress?
It was about 40% said yes.
Now that's a lot different than it used to be.
Do you think calling your member of Congress actually makes a difference?
Out of 2,000 votes,
over half of them said,
no,
no, I really don't.
Do you think your congressman or congresswoman represents you?
1,141 said no.
320 said yes.
You've got to get on the phone with Congress today.
This is a breaking point.
If the Republicans don't elect Jim Jordan today, God only knows what we're going to get.
Thanks a lot, Mr.
Gates.
Appreciate it.
No, seriously, have a freaking plan before you blow things up.
Call your congressman.
Now we're going to switch gears quickly for about 20 minutes.
I'm going to tell you, give you an update on what's happening in the rest of the world in 60 seconds.
First, your dog cares about you.
Of course he does.
I mean, you know, he's your dog.
He cares about you.
And you know that because you would have gotten a cat if you wanted an animal that didn't care about you.
Anyway, the feeling goes both ways, I know.
You can feed your dog the very best, even with kibble food.
Whatever you're feeding your dog, just put rough greens on top of it.
And it has all of the vitamins and nutrients and probiotics that your dog needs.
Not a dog food, it's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.
Dennis Black that you sprinkle sprinkle on the dog's food and you get the first trial bag free.
Just pay for shipping, call 833-GLEN33.
That's 833-G-L-E-N-N33.
Call Rough Greens today.
Okay.
Well, let me, I guess,
I guess let me start with this.
Most Americans today.
This is a new study, shows the cost of groceries, gas, and just keeping a roof over your head is the main priority.
A new study shows the worry about retirement is now a thing of the past because, not because it's far off or, you know, I've already got my retirement taken care of, but rather
they don't even see it on the horizon anymore.
They're no longer seeing that far in advance.
Instead, they're looking Americans today,
more specifically at today's breakfast or what's for tonight's dinner.
We're at the beginning of something, gang.
We are at the beginning.
Tough times are coming.
And when we get distracted by our own life in America, darkness grows and seizes the opportunity to do the unspeakable.
Remember,
don't let a good crisis go to waste.
That could be spoken by Satan himself.
Don't let a good crisis go to waste.
And
I told you in 2009, almost every day, chaos.
Chaos is going to be the word for the future and you need to be as far away from chaos as you possibly can.
And chaos causes people to turn away.
When the world shut down for COVID, what happened?
The Chinese took Hong Kong.
All of those hundreds of thousands of people that we watched march carrying American flags, hoping that the day of freedom was on the horizon for them, they didn't know at the time that the Wuhan virus brew was bubbling up and being worked on by the same government that was taking pictures of each of them and finding out who they were.
As China forced the rest of the world into lockdown, as they were literally welding their people into their homes and sending drones to tell those trapped to fight the demons inside of you that tells you you should be free.
While all of that was happening, we turned inward.
We logically worried about ourselves, our job, our business, most of all our loved ones.
That's normal.
That's why I tell you to prepare now, because those times are coming and they're going to be harder.
As the government lies, continued both here and in China, as they lied and lied and distracted us
and the rest of the world, the Chinese government was not distracted.
Our government wasn't distracted.
As to never let a crisis go to waste, they went door to door and they found the leaders of that freedom movement in Hong Kong.
How many people does a government need to round up
before the everyday citizen that was standing with them or thinking about freedom decides to shut up, sit down, or worse yet, turn on members of their own family or friends?
We've seen this cycle before.
It swept the world about a hundred years ago.
All for the good of the collective, all for science, eugenics, a new world, scientifically born.
Good Germans sat down, said nothing, because they were worried about the food on their table.
And I get it.
But soon, because of that, it wasn't their biggest concern.
How many that they worried about feeding were soon made into sausage by the war-hungry machine?
How many of the sweet children they tucked in tonight, just a few short years later, had been so indoctrinated in some sick, twisted ideology of death that they would even turn their own parents in?
Most people don't realize the Germans whispered,
not only because the Nazis might have listening devices in their house, but also because, in many cases, those listening devices were their own children.
They had become activists for an evil state.
And it happens the same every time.
Divide and conquer.
Divide the races, divide the religions, divide the parties, and then reunite as many people as you can
under this new ideology and make them into zealots.
This new ideology is as old as time itself.
Evil just puts on a new face time and time again.
Last time, it just put on a nice Hugo Boss designed uniform.
And it convinces a new generation that doesn't remember the past.
The conflict, the chaos, the poverty that that system creates and then exploits
is enough to keep most people busy and not looking up or forward.
I want to talk to you today about entering this time period because we are here.
And may I ask, are we already tired of the news of Hamas and Israel?
Are we already done with that?
I mean, Ukraine, in my opinion, is bad guys versus evil guys.
I don't know who to pick because I don't see a good guy in sight on either side.
But this one is truly good versus evil.
And this one doesn't require us to fight the battle.
We don't need to fight.
They're not asking us to fight.
They would just like some support
when they fight.
It's been over a week now, just about a week, and the world is going back to normal already.
In the first few days, Israel didn't stand alone.
The images and the atrocities were so clear that the world had a slap across the face and they woke up for a minute, set up in bed.
And then with breathtaking speed,
normal assumptions are reasserting themselves.
Is this just intellectual and moral laziness?
Suddenly, all the politicians, news outlets again, speaking the language of the cycle of violence and proportionality.
Israel shouldn't go too far.
What?
What do you mean?
There is no moral equivalence here.
The sides are not equivalent.
There is no symmetry here.
There is no moral equivalence.
There is no Israeli oppression in Gaza and no Israeli war crimes.
Not that they're perfect.
They're not perfect.
We're not perfect.
Nobody's perfect.
There's plenty of misery to go around.
And there are plenty of war crimes.
And there's one reason.
Because there is plenty of Hamas.
We all know how Biden economics have really turned this place around, right?
Right?
Right?
Aren't you feeling the glory of Biden economics?
What do you think Hamas does?
And just like Biden economics will blame someone else, Hamas has the built-in recipe.
All they have to do is blame the Israelis.
But every piece of human suffering in Gaza is on Hamas.
Want more peace?
Have less Hamas.
I don't know anybody that has
a bloodlust to have more innocent casualties.
But you know what?
You can't go into another country and kill people's moms, dads, their children,
and then hide behind your own children.
I mean, your babies are going to get hurt.
And that's on Hamas.
That's not on Israel.
Every innocent harmed in Gaza is
on Hamas.
Israel is exactly like us.
We do ridiculously expensive things.
Do you know how much our missiles cost?
Do you know how much our bombs cost?
Because they're all smart.
They all have computers.
They all have cameras to be used once and then destroyed.
Do you know how much that costs?
Why do we do that?
Because we are for life.
We're for life.
That's what never again really means.
Life.
But that's not what it is.
That's not what it is with Hamas.
They want all Jews dead.
They want to wash the world in Jewish blood and then our blood.
That is the highest aspiration for their children.
A martyr's death, preferably with a side of dead babies, apparently.
They love death.
We love life.
This is what they shout.
They love life.
We love death.
They chant that.
Those are not my words.
That's Hamas's word.
So how is it we're going to sit down and have a conversation with people?
See, this is the problem we're having in America.
We're not at this divide, but we're close.
Have you seen the protests all over the Western world?
Have you seen the protests here in America that are supporting Hamas after the killing of babies and children and moms and dads?
Have you seen the videos?
This is the beginning of the end of the Western world.
We used to stand for something.
And believe me, The Israelis are not asking for America to join and come in the war.
They're not.
They'll fight it themselves.
Nobody is looking for a kumbaya of nations.
Nobody.
They're just looking for somebody just to stand up and go, you're okay.
You're okay, I understand.
We all have to pay attention right now, right now, or we unfortunately will not be able to pay attention at all for a very long time.
What do we tell our kids about the world?
What do we say about never again?
Is it even a thing?
What do we tell?
Is there such a thing as an enlightened civilization, a community, a nations?
Are we all part of it?
Or are we all on our own?
There is good and evil, and what used to make America different and the Western world is that there was a standard that was universal and absolute and it was for everybody not just this side or that side it was for everybody it wasn't up for negotiation
it does mean we both have choices and some of those choices are right choices and some of those choices are wrong choices
Are there anybody, is there anybody, is there any nation, any nation that still remembers that?
We don't have to tell our children and the Israelis don't have to tell their children that they're alone or they're helpless, like our own politicians are telling our own kids, that they're dependent on the world's goodwill.
They have to look to a politician.
No, no.
We have to tell them the truth.
And Israelis have to tuck their kids in tonight and tell them the truth.
They have to bear the truth as they grow up.
They will have to hold up the light of truth.
They will need to make sure that they are on God's side.
And if
they're doing it,
God willing,
there will still be Judeo-Christian nations who will stand with them.
God willing, if we tell the truth, maybe
we can all begin to look at our retirement
and what we want to do
when we finally all grow up.
When most of your time is spent in pain, the thing that you're constantly looking for is pure and simple hope.
It's the light at the end of the tunnel.
You know, you're down, you're thinking this is never going to end.
It can, it can.
The three-weeks quick start of Relief Factor is $19.95, and it's a trial pack.
It's not a drug, it's all natural natural ingredients so it's not going to whack you out.
But more than a million people have bought Relief Factors Quick Start and about 70% of them go on to order more month after month.
I'm one of them.
ReliefFactor.com.
Call them now.
ReliefFactor.com.
Just try it.
800 for Relief.
Try it for three weeks.
Take it as directed.
If it's not working, it's probably not going to work for you.
ReliefFactor.com, 70%
go on to order month after month.
800, the number four, relief.
Get out of pain.
Get your life back.
Relief factor.
Feel the difference.
10 seconds, station ID.
Well, as Joe Biden says, we're the United States of America.
We can do more than one thing.
Can we?
Can we?
I'm not sure.
I'm really not sure.
And I'm certainly not sure that the Republicans can.
The Republicans, thank you, Matt Gates,
for this brilliant idea of getting rid of, and I want you to know,
I was passionate as well, but if you listen back to this program, Stu and I were both saying, maybe a plan, maybe a plan.
They didn't have a plan.
And now today might be the last chance to get somebody decent as Speaker of the House.
Yeah, it seems like, I mean, Jordan is, I will say, closer than I expected him to get.
I mean, I was pretty pessimistic they'd be able to get Jordan through, not because I don't like Jordan.
I think he'd be a very good Speaker of the House, but just a lot of people don't like him.
You know,
and again, it's a lot of the people I don't like that don't like him.
Yeah.
You know, but again, they have their votes.
These are real people in the conference that you have to deal with.
Stop being in third grade.
I don't care if you like somebody or not.
I really don't.
I don't care if you like them.
You're not going to go through life liking everybody and stop thinking it's third grade.
And well, I'm not going to give you my vote.
Good heavens, grow up.
The country is at stake.
I want you to call your congressmen today, this morning.
They vote at noon Eastern time.
I want you to call your congressman and say, What the hell are you doing?
If you lose the house, if you compromise and give us some panny ass wussie who's in bed with the Democrats, you're done.
And I will take every dollar I have to fund competitors against you.
I will campaign.
I'll make signs.
I'll put them in the yard.
I will campaign against you.
I will not forget.
That's what I would say.
But I would say it with a much more reasonable tone, but make sure they understand.
You're done with me, and I and my friends will campaign against you.
You vote for Jim Jordan today.
Vote for Jim Jordan.
Otherwise, what's your plan, the Democrats?
The Glenn Beck program.
Well, we're going to get somebody on less passionate than I am on this.
Chip Roy is joining us in just a minute.
Out of the tragedy of 9-11, Tunnel to Towers Foundation rose like a phoenix from the ashes, and it's been delivering on its promise at the time to do good and never forget the sacrifice of America's greatest heroes, the people who put their lives on the line to protect our country and our communities, police officers, firemen, and those in the service.
I want to tell you about Sergeant Dustin DeMonte.
He's from Bristol, Connecticut, fatally shot in a domestic violence incident.
He left behind two children and a wife pregnant with their third child.
This is a family member of my wife.
Like, I don't remember how we're related, but we found out through Facebook that this happened.
And she was like, my gosh, that's my family.
And you know when we found out?
After the Tunnel to Towers Foundation had already taken their house.
And it was days after the shooting.
It's a remarkable organization.
If you have $11 a month, could you donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at tthenumber2T.org?
That's tthenumber2t.org.

Chip Roy, coming up.
We go to
our good friend, one of the very few in Washington, Chip Roy.
Hello, Chip.
How are you?
Doing great, Glenn.
How are you?
I'd like a plan.
You know, I'd like the Republicans to have a plan.
I'd like them to succeed from time to time.
You know, this vote today with Jim Jordan looks like,
I mean, it looks close at least, but close, if we were playing hand grenades, would count.
But we're not playing hand grenades.
Tell me the situation in Washington.
Well, I see what you did there with the horseshoes and hand grenades reference.
Look,
look, let me just first try to say, like us to have a plan.
I agree with you.
Gwen, look, I have a plan.
A number of us have a plan in terms of what we believe we ought to be doing to constrain spending, use the appropriations process to stop what's going on here with the abuse of our liberties and a tyrannical government to secure the border.
We passed a bill to do that.
Everybody needs to remember,
so we're not always in despair.
We passed the best border bill we've ever passed.
That took an enormous amount of work.
Now we've got to do something with it.
That's the whole point.
We've got to stand strong, stop giving a blank check to Ukraine, all those things.
We do have a plan to try to wrestle this government back from a tyrannical president.
But now the question is how we're going to do it and how much we get Republicans to do the right thing.
And remember, 10 years ago today, or give or take today, 10 years ago this month, we just ended the Obamacare shutdown when I was Ted Cruz's chief of staff.
We were meeting in the basement of Tortilla Coast, a little rump group of 10 members of Congress and Ted Cruz.
Now we have the Freedom Caucus.
It's been formed.
Jim Jordan helped form it.
Donald Trump has come into the White House and shaken up this town.
We've had an enormous change.
Can you imagine if 10 years ago we'd have said Jim Jordan might become Speaker of the House no no no this is a I mean the upside is very very good I'm not concerned about your plan or you know some that I support in in Washington I I'm very concerned about those whose plan includes hey you know what maybe we can get a real moderate to you know uh team up with the Democrats and then we could rule together oh my gosh
Well, so Glenn, yes, some of that rhetoric is crazy.
Now, a lot of it's overstated, right?
I mean, I had a conversation with one of my colleagues, I'm not going to name, who's one of the few,
and he was upset because he said, people are out there saying, I'm going to go cut a deal for a king jeopardy.
He's like, I'm never going to do that.
He's a socialist.
He's crazy.
So, a lot of that is overstated.
We'll see what happens.
Our perspective is we'll go to the floor.
Jim's been working all weekend.
I was working it all weekend.
I was calling colleagues.
We were working to figure out a plan and
work through it.
We'll see what happens.
Right now, the numbers are somewhere between five and ten, I think.
You never know how the dynamic plays on the floor.
But once you have to cast your vote, look, I've been there.
Remember?
Once you have to cast your vote, there's a lot of eyes of the world on you.
There's a lot of pressure.
So you've got to have a reason.
We had a reason.
We wanted to change this place.
Kevin, to his credit, helped us change this place, just not as fast and as far, frankly, as we needed to go.
We moved the ball forward.
Now let's figure out how to get the right coach in there now to finish the job or the right quarterback, whatever analogy you want to use.
And so we'll see what happens on the floor today.
I think it's going to be somewhere around 8 to 10-ish in the first round.
And then we're going to have to pull off and go talk to those individuals and try to get them over the hump.
And that's just where we are right now.
And this is all being laid bare before the world and the American people that the battle for the soul of this country isn't just red shirt, blue shirt.
It's really inside the Republican Party where we're trying to change the Republican Party to be a party that is fighting for the hardworking American against this town.
For too long, this party has been too much of this town.
This is a hard effort, and we're going around the clock trying to do it.
I'm actually amazed we've taken it as far as we have.
I am too.
You and I both just are watching the country burning to the ground and we're like, guys, there's no more time.
Get the extinguishers and let's get busy rebuilding.
So that's where you and I are.
That's where the bulk of the Republican Party is moving towards.
But we've got to get 200, you know, sufficient number, 217 plus, in order to get there.
Okay, so let me go over the list of some people that are on the fence and tell me, unless you know some names that could use some nice urging from their constituents today.
Who would benefit from that?
Well,
let me first stipulate this and bear out for a second.
I have worked with some colleagues over the last three days to move the needle.
And I said, look, I am not going to get into the personal finger-pointing game, at least until we get to the floor.
Now, once you vote, then it's on you.
You're going to have to own the vote.
So I'm trying to be a little careful, me personally, between now and today at noon.
Because you can imagine there's a lot of personal engagement with individuals to get them over the hump.
So
what I will tell you is there's a lot of public lists that are pretty darned accurate in terms of the, call it five, six, seven.
I saw a list today of about seven that are the ones that have publicly been saying that, hey, they're going to vote for Kevin McCarthy or they're going to vote for Steve Scalise or they're going to vote for someone else.
And it's mostly wrapped around being frustrated that Kevin got deposed by just eight individuals.
Get over it.
And some are frustrated because they thought Scalise should be next man up.
And, you know, that didn't happen for a variety of reasons.
And some of them are just mad at Matt Gates and those that pulled the motion to vacate.
And I've just told them, I said, look, you've got to get over that, right?
That's not what this is about.
What this is about is right now unifying in order to go beat Democrats.
We have one year to the election.
We've got to go fight right now to make sure that whatever we do for Israel is very focused, targeted, paid for, and is not used to go be an excuse for Ukraine.
We've got to go right now, make sure that we go fight to secure the border.
We've got to go right now, make sure that they're not going to do a blank check to Ukraine.
We've got to go right now fight to hold spending in check and hold this administration accountable.
There are a thousand things for us to be focusing on and internessing party skirmishes is not one of them.
This is a tough thing.
Let's get there and let's go unite for the American people.
That is my message right now between now and people voting.
Now, once people vote, they got to answer for it.
They got to explain why.
And it ain't good enough to say, I don't like Matt Gate, then I'm mad.
You got to have a reason.
What is your reason?
What are you doing?
Why is Jim Jordan not the guy right now to help us unite to beat Democrats?
That's the question we should be asking every single member who does not vote for Jim at, you know, whatever it's going to be, noon Eastern.
Okay.
I'd love to have you on like one of my social medias or something after the vote because I'm finished at noon Eastern time.
Happy to do it.
Okay, good.
I'll have somebody reach out.
We'll set it up.
If, you know, then their votes are on their own heads.
And let's mobilize people
because absolutely and glenn we'll we'll be happy to do it and talk about it and uh look everybody out there though i can tell you this call your member of congress and make sure they're supporting jim jordan light up the phones all day today uh and and and make sure that your voices are heard heard okay thank you chip i appreciate it we'll talk again soon god bless you one of the good guys uh and there's lots of them there are they're actually more than ever i mean think of this this if jim jordan gets in today, this is
everybody said the Tea Party was dead.
Everybody said the, you know,
constitutionalist was dead.
And the Republicans have done everything to kill it.
But think of this.
Having Jim Jordan as the Speaker of the House, what could get done?
What could get done, America?
This is not politics as usual.
And if it becomes that, then we hold Jim Jordan's feet to the fire.
But this is not politics as usual.
This is a game-changing opportunity.
And I will say, what he can get done is limited, right?
He's just, they just have the House.
They don't have the Senate.
They don't have the...
Correct.
But at least the House would be moving things forward.
Number one, yes.
Number two, one of the things they can do.
are these investigations.
And I don't know that there is a better person on the investigation part of this than that you would want in control control than Jim Jordan.
Yes.
He is the guy who's going to be a junkyard dog going after every little bit of this.
And that means you can shut the money off for the FBI.
You can shut the money off for the IRS.
If you have the house, you at least have a fight.
You at least have a horse in the game.
You know, without that, you got nothing.
And I'm sick and tired of the, you know, oh, yeah, we're gonna do this soon as we get the house, the Senate, and the White House.
No,
do something with what you have.
Do something.
That's how you get, you know, at least in my business.
If somebody has something and they're doing and they have the least amount of stuff, but all of a sudden they're doing incredible stuff, I then give them more resources to do more.
What we do, we have a bunch of people that are like, Yeah, I need those resources before I can do anything.
That's not the way the world works now.
Okay, it's not.
You show me what you can do, and then I'll give you a few more resources.
Then show me what you can do, and then I'll give you a few more resources.
Enough of this.
Call your house member today.
Make sure they're voting for Jim Jordan.
This is historic if it happens.
Absolutely historic.
And it will change everything.
And, Gates, you will have played Russian roulette, but neither of us got our head blown off.
And the country lives to fight another day.
And God bless you.
That's a great announcement.
Maybe not the best party game, but hey, if you both survive, well, great, great.
Maybe things are going to be better.
And they would be better with Jordan.
They would be.
By the way, one of the congressmen that we mentioned at the beginning of the show,
it is Siskamani from New York.
He is a yes on Jim Jordan.
So this just happened as we were talking this hour.
He was a
undecided.
He was undecided.
He was one of the people that had not announced.
He said he was going to announce Wednesday morning, true to his word.
He did, and he has announced that he will vote for Jim Jordan.
Good.
Now, I'm looking, I've looked at it.
Can we do a little nerd math here first?
Yeah.
Please, okay.
So, 435 people in Congress, right?
Normally, there are two vacant seats.
You're at 433.
You have to then subtract the people that are not going to be there for whatever reason.
There's one guy that I know of who's going to be at a funeral, so that's at 432.
You've got also some present votes.
If someone votes present, it's going to change the math a little bit, but still, this still means as of right now, he needs to get to 217.
That number could change to 216 or 215, depending on what goes on with the present votes or who shows up today.
Right now, 221 Republicans.
Now, one of them is at a funeral today.
So you're at 220, really.
Oh my gosh, you only use three?
He loses three.
Now, he'll be back.
So if they were that close, they could revote and he would vote on the right side.
But he wouldn't get through in the first vote.
But you can really only lose three or
four, let's just say, is probably the real number long term.
There seems to be about seven who are saying no, no.
Like, and I mean, you know, some of them will say, well, I'm going to meet with them today and we'll see if something changes, stuff like that.
But they are saying outwardly they are a no.
There are another four to six that look like they are saying they're leaning no,
but they, or they're, they won't say anything about how they're going to vote before the vote.
But some of those are gettable.
Like, and I'll give you an example of this: Victoria Sparts, who we've had on the show, who's really, really good.
She's very frustrated with the process and how this has worked.
I get it.
So am I.
And so, so, and it's an understandable.
Now, you know, Ms.
Sparts, she's not the type that's just going to be won over.
She's, you know, very, very strong on stuff.
She's very principled, and she believes the principle here is problem.
What she's saying publicly, however, is
if
they, if Jordan does not have the votes, she's going to vote present.
Okay.
Now.
Why?
Anyway, go ahead.
We don't have time.
Go ahead.
The point being, though,
that seems to say if he does have the votes, there's a chance she's going to vote for him.
Her problem is just on how they basically
gone about this process.
She's not against Jordan as a person.
So you think in the situation where we've got a Speaker of the House Jordan on the line, she might come along.
I mean, these are people that aren't necessarily definite knows.
Quickly, give me the states.
Just give me the states, the Congressman's states.
Quickly.
Of the seven.
I don't have
it okay.
I'm not candy, but I can't.
We're going to take a quick break and then we'll come back and give that.
You know those old shoe boxes that you have, the ones that are stuffed full of pictures that you can, you know, barely get the lid on?

888-727-BEC, the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to the Glend Beck program.
Okay, here are the people that you need to call that are on the fence or voting against.
Yeah, let's look at the no's because you need no's, not just the fence people.
Mario Diaz-Bellard from Florida won't vote for Jordan.
He is close to Scalise.
He was put off by Jordan and how he treated Scalise.
It's fine.
Get over it.
Please, just get over it.
Ken Buck from Colorado, been turned off by Jordan's questioning of Biden's 2020 victory.
Great.
Jordan, give him.
Yeah, he won.
He won.
Just say it.
He won.
John Rutherford says he's casting his vote for McCarthy.
He's not running.
Okay.
Don Bacon says he'll vote for McCarthy on the first ballot.
Bacon said he left open the possibility that he could vote for someone else on a later ballot.
Okay.
Get over it.
McCarthy's not running.
Mike Lawler says he will vote for McCarthy's from New York.
Okay, you're going to lose.
Let's have a winning attitude.
Lawler also said he won't be the deciding vote against Jordan.
That's important.
Carlos Imenez from Florida still backing McCarthy.
Mike Kelly voting for Scalise.
Marionette Miller-Meeks from Iowa says she's undecided, but privately suggested she's a no, according to Punch Bowl News, by the way.
Please call these congresspeople and just say, please, I understand you have differences.
Please put the country first.
Vote for Jim Jordan.
Please.

You're not cleaning it in the house.

But Barrel Buddy is so great.
It is this little 3D cylinder made up of polymers, and it goes inside the barrel.

We gotta stand together if the corners of life.
Stand up straight and hold the line.
It's a new day I've turned to rise.
We gotta stand together if the corners of life.
What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glen Beck program.
Looks like we are maybe seven to ten votes away from Jim Jordan being the Speaker of the House.
And when you listen to the people who are saying they're voting against, a lot of it is because, well, I don't like Jim Jordan because of the way he treated X, Y, and Z.
Can you please put that aside, please?
The country is on fire.
I know you may not like him.
You're not going to like everybody in life.
Please put your country first.
Well, you know, he won't definitively say that
Donald Trump lost the election.
Jim, just say it.
Just say it.
Really.
The country's on fire.
Just say it.
I don't care.
Can we get past these petty things?
We are, the issues of today are so gigantic.
And I got news for you.
So are you.
So are you.
So is each one of us that was born at this time.
You are a giant.
You just have to order things in the proper order of importance.
And quite honestly, your feelings
are not high on the priority.
We begin with
who you really are and what needs to happen.
And I mean, today, you need to call your congressman.
If they're on this list, we just gave it to you.
We'll give it again.
Stu tweeted out from my platform, will you?
From my ex.
I want you to call your congressman.
You've got about two hours and I know that you don't, I don't do that.
It doesn't make it ever.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It might.
It might.
Today, please.
Call your congressman.
We'll give you more on that coming up in just a second.
First, real estate agents, I trust.

When you have a bad one, you know it.
That's why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust.

In a small village in Poland during World War II,
there was a woman, a nurse,
named Irena Sendler.
She had soft eyes and a calm demeanor,
but she had the heart of a giant and a lion.
And she risked absolutely everything.
She had her priorities in the right order.
If you know her story,
let me tell you just a little bit more, perhaps some things you didn't know.
Risking everything, this woman by herself
got papers that allowed her to enter the Warsaw Ghetto.
The ghetto was a prison in every single way except by name.
It was just a walled-off section of the cities.
They walled it off.
The Nazis forced all of the Jews, the undesirables, to live behind it, out of sight and out of mind.
Irena
saw beyond the bricks and mortar.
To her, these people,
the children, were never out of sight or mind.
How many of us today say, I don't have time.
I don't want to get involved.
That was the case back then.
But the consequences were much higher than they are now.
If people had just done
little risky things,
you know, paid more attention to what was really going on and stood against little things, perhaps Irina wouldn't have had to do this.
But she acquired the forged papers and they allowed her to enter the ghetto not to inspect sanitary conditions as her badge claimed.
Her job was to smuggle out children.
It was a daily, daring operation of hope.
Every time she entered, she walked on the razor's edge.
Her heart raced, knowing the weight of her secret could be her undoing.
And every time she entered, that was harrowing enough, but it was her exit every day.
That was the real danger.
Every day she'd go into the ghetto and she'd find a way to smuggle a child or two out.
She would smuggle them out in a toolbox,
in a bag,
sometimes beneath a tram or an ambulance.
She carefully selected a network
and she managed to save 2,500 children from certain death, one child at a time.
Imagine.
But as she walked out of the ghetto,
each time she was carrying a child, she carried more with her.
Each time she left the ghetto, her pockets were full of tiny little mementos of the desperate parents.
A photo, or a locket, or a scribbled note.
The final messages to the world.
Placed in the trusting hands of a stranger.
She kept all of those hidden in a place she only knew about.
The Gestapo eventually caught wind of her deeds.
There were rumors of an angel that was helping, and they were too loud to be ignored.
You see, evil has its plans,
and it will go after every angel
because every angel disrupts its chaos, its evil, and its mission, in this case, to liquidate every Jew on earth.
They found the angel that Gestapo captured and tortured her.
They needed her to talk.
They needed her secrets.
How?
Who?
Why?
They broke her legs.
They broke her feet.
Even under intense pain, she never revealed the identities of the children she saved or any of the collaborators.
She never revealed any of the secrets she held personally.
Oh, had they only known just that one secret, how different things might have been.
Her friends, believe it or not, managed to bribe her way out of her execution.
They get her out.
They heal
broken legs, broken feet.
They get her off the gallows
only to see her then after she's been healed to continue her work under a different name.
We can't relate to it here like they can over in Europe.
Communities never really healed.
We're much more like children in America.
We're much more trusting of our neighbors and our government because we've never had it really turn on us before.
We've never, until recently, had neighbors actually spy on one another and turn each other in.
It wasn't until COVID.
Those scars
are left on Europe.
They were left on Irene,
physical and deep within her soul.
Post-war Poland tried to move on, but now the Communists were in,
and the memories lingered like an unending winter.
Irena was celebrated by many, but she kept her most profound secret locked away.
It wasn't until later when a tattered old diary surfaced.
Its pages were yellowed with time.
It wasn't her diary.
It actually
belonged to
a child that she had kept hidden
as she rescued others and hid others.
The pages were filled with sketches of the tiny attic hideout.
It's full of nightmares and dreams of freedoms.
You can almost hear in reading it the hushed lullabies sung in the dark, feel the cold gusts through the attic floorboards, and the sense of the unspoken understanding between
the two lives in this diary intertwined in a web of secrets and sacrifices and unsung heroics.
The world really knows of one girl's little diary.
Maybe we've forgotten about the other girl's diary, or perhaps we were never taught about this little girl.
The stories she told on those pages of her diary didn't happen in Amsterdam, they happened in Warsaw.
The diary just chronicled the harrowing tales of a little girl watching her mother
leave night after night, not knowing if mom would ever return.
It's the tale of a young girl watching her mother disappear nightly.
Her mom
was Irina Sendler.
The nurse
Unbeknownst to anyone else, these two shared their peril, their most guarded secret.
In her bid to save thousands, Irena was also racing against time to save her own daughter from the jaws of death.
Nobody knew, but Irena herself was Jewish,
and she was hiding in plain sight.
All of those years she wasn't just saving the children of others.
She also knew the importance of keeping her own heritage, her own daughter, and in that time, the importance of keeping it it secret.
In the pages of that diary are all the trinkets and the photos and the lockets of hair,
the silent promises from parents to children, each item a desperate plea.
Remember me.
Today, strangely, once again, the world stands on the threshold of insanity.
And we can still see the truth.
It's just right behind us.
And we teeter on the edge.
Are we going to step across this threshold, or are we going to turn around and close this door?
Will we actually listen to those cries, those pleas, that have been silenced for so long?
Remember me?
Most people don't even remember her name.
Most people are long forgotten, and we memorize the names of great generals and battles and dates, but we really don't know their story.
Her story is not really her name is not really important.
Her story is what matters.
Her story is what will inspire others.
There's no big statue of Irena.
There's just a simple tree now planted in her honor in Jerusalem that bears the testament to a life dedicated to standing up and just doing the next right thing.
Never again
is now

hump off of your back?

10 seconds station ID.
You know, we get busy.
We stop looking at things.
We think we don't make a difference.
Imagine what Irina Sendler felt like not making a difference.
I mean, did she really know she was making a difference or did she think this is just a drop in the bucket?
You make a difference.
Your phone call today to Congress could make a difference.
There are, what, 10 people that we've been going over today that are Republicans.
And, you know, it's not like...
It's not like the Republicans that I'm hearing the reason why they will vote today against Jim Jordan.
It's not like
it's because, well, I'm for the Marxists.
It's, I don't like Jim Jordan.
I understand that.
I understand that.
And I quite honestly didn't like Kevin McCarthy, but I was for him while he was there.
Steve Scalise, I liked, I didn't like the way Jim Jordan treated Steve Scalise.
Well, you know what?
I like Steve.
I really like him.
And, you know, I wasn't for him over Jim Jordan, but I would have been.
And
I would have been all in the bag for Steve Scalise.
Whatever.
Steve's not running anymore.
McCarthy's not running.
These Republicans have a chance today to totally change everything.
And quite honestly, I think you should call and say, look, I understand we've got to do the right thing for the country right now.
Please come together please we have to have the Speaker of the House now and Jim Jordan is a good selection please do that and just I'm not making a threat or anything I'm just telling you I will work until my fingers bleed
to make sure that you're not re-elected if you don't If you if you stop this vote, if you're one of the seven or the ten that stop this,
I want you to know you're replaceable.
And I will work and all of my friends and we'll pool our money and we'll find somebody to run against you.
Because enough is enough.
Just do the right thing today.
You're not going to win.
Steve Scalise is not going to win.
McCarthy's not going to win.
They're not running.
It's Jim Jordan.
Yes or no?
It's going to be fascinating.
There's now reports that the Democrats are trying to float
empowering Patrick McHenry, who's the current temporary Speaker of the House,
to try to get him potentially in.
Of course they are.
Now, part of this is them trying to just sow chaos, right?
Like
they know that this would spur.
Correct.
They're trying to make sure.
I mean, the number one thing for them is they don't want Jordan to get across the line.
Doesn't that tell you something?
I'm sorry, I'm trying to keep my my inside voice, but doesn't that tell you something, Republicans?
Doesn't that tell you something?
And the problem with this, too, is Jordan gets really close, which it looks like he's going to.
He may or may not get across the line, but he's going to be very close.
If he doesn't get across the line, there's going to be so many, many people rightfully angry about that.
And if those people are angry about that, they will never support the next person
on the right that the people who were holdouts recommend.
That same spat's going to
divide them.
And you're going to wind up getting so many people so loyal to
the Democrats
behind us.
Please
put all of this behind us.
This is probably your best job.
Seven people.
Seven.
Maybe eight people.
Really?
Are you going to stand in the way of this?
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Please.
Don't make me spend all of the election time making sure you're unseated.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
It's going to be annoying if he has to do it.
Please don't make him do it.
Have you ever noticed that when you're in pain, it's awfully hard to concentrate on doing just about anything?
Practically impossible to enjoy whatever it is you're doing.
Pain is a monster constantly trying to eat you alive.
And sometimes it feels like it's winning.
I say these things because that used to be me.
I found Relief Factor.
I started taking it.
I got my life back.
So could you.
When you're living with pain, life can be a real struggle sometimes.
Finding the right way to deal with that pain isn't fun, but please just give Relief Factor a try.
It's not going to whack you out.
It was developed by doctors.
It's 100% natural, and it's going to hit your inflammation in your body from four different directions.
Ibuprofen only uses one.
This will hit you four different ways.
So that's why 70% of the people that order it go on to order more month after month.
It's like, me, it works.
I'm shocked.
ReliefFactor.com.
Call 800, the number for relief, 800 for relief, or relieffactor.com.
During the vote, I'm going to go live on youtube.com/slash stewdoesamerica and walk you through each person who comes in yes and me out no.
Make sure to check it out.
welcome to the glenn beck program there's a lot going on uh in washington jim jordan's momentum according to the washington examiner stalled after a closed-door gop meeting a day before the floor uh vote uh however it is looking very close today we'll see um
There were 55 Republicans who vowed to vote against him.
And now we're down to maybe 10, something like that, Stu?
Yeah, I mean, it depends.
You know, Chip Roy just said he thought it was going to be around 8 to 10 in this first vote, which is too much.
You can't win with 8 to 10 defecting.
However, some of those might be winnable.
I think I've seen, I mean, what I'm looking at in my list here is I think there's about seven that I think I'm relatively confident or knows,
but
are they winnable?
Can you go to them and say, hey, we'll do X, Y, and Z for you?
This is what McCarthy had to do.
And McCarthy took a lot of criticism for saying, well, you gave Matt Gates the possibility of overturning your speakership with one vote.
That's what he had to do to get the job.
Frankly, and like, look, it's okay, you know, if that's what you want to do.
You got to do the deal if you want to get the job.
So to move this along.
So let me move it to across the town of Washington over to the White House.
The president is headed on over to Israel.
Now, if I recall, there were times the president didn't go to disaster areas because, well, he would just get in the way.
A presidential visit would get in the way.
This is a war zone he's going into now.
I am not convinced of the innocence of this.
I think it is more of a delay tactic.
Keep Israel from going in and really decimating things and finishing the job.
But
I'm pessimistic and a little jaded on the politicians, especially on the left when it comes to Israel.
Jason Buttrill is with us, and he has the latest on what is happening in Israel.
How come we haven't seen
Israel go in, we thought we were going to see it this weekend, really go in and with troops and just go through Gaza.
I've seen a lot of people talk about how they don't think that the ground invasion is likely anymore.
And that's not how I read the situation on the ground at all.
This is an unprecedented situation that Israel is now in.
So not only do they have the pressure campaign from the Biden administration, you know, their top main ally, which I can only imagine.
Blinken was in a meeting with Netanyahu yesterday for, what, eight hours?
Eight hours.
Can you imagine the threats that are probably getting lobbed across the table there?
They do not want this ground invasion to happen.
It is a humanitarian disaster.
It absolutely will be.
Egypt can take care of it.
Yeah, but did you see just now the king of Jordan this morning said speaking on behalf of Jordanians and Egypt that allowing Palestinian refugees from Gaza is a quote red line.
They said it is a red line and we know what the actors on the ground would do.
Gee, I wonder what he's talking about there.
Because the last time this happened was in 1970, Glenn.
1970, after the Six-Day War, they allowed tons of Palestinian refugees in from the West Bank because there was nowhere for them to go, exactly like now.
What happened?
Instantly, the Palestinians kicked off a civil war in Jordan and even tried to assassinate the king of Jordan.
And the Jordanians had to kick them out.
They had to go to Lebanon.
What happened in Lebanon after that?
Well, gee, a civil war broke out in Lebanon.
I mean,
these are terrorists.
It happens every time.
The entire Arab world knows this.
That's why the ground invasion has to happen.
Has to.
This has got to be, they have to be dismantled for good.
So what are they fearing here?
Because I know they are worried about a three-front war.
One from the IRGC.
You think it's going to happen?
I think it's going to happen.
From Syria.
That's Iran, the IRGC.
Then you have Hezbollah from the north, which is Lebanon.
And
they're already there on the border, right?
They're taking pot shots.
As we speak, they're taking pot shots.
And then you have, you know, Gaza.
And so that, and that is down on the south towards Egypt.
Right.
And so that is why this is so complicated.
What Israel has been engaged in since the terror attack happened last Saturday is they have been doing shaping operations.
So basically what that means is they're taking out units along the border.
They're shaping their route of attack once they go into Gaza, which is going to be a sniper paradise in Gaza.
That's going to be very deadly, the worst kind of combat there is.
So even if you take 200,000 troops into Gaza, which is a relatively small place,
that might not even be enough.
It's going to be a very, very hard fight.
But shaping operations take time.
Massing troops along three different fronts, I mean, that's colossal.
I mean, and for the idea, Israel is a small country.
I mean, we have more Jews in the United States than are actually in Israel.
They just don't have the people.
So it's going to take a lot of prayer.
It's going to take a lot of strategy and smart thinking to pull all of this off.
But just think about that in that context, how difficult that's going to be, how imperative it is for them to do this.
And then you're getting the full court pressure from the Biden administration.
It's insane.
I don't think Israel's going to listen to us or anybody else, are they?
I hope not.
I mean, look, this is, here's the thing:
Jews are expelled from every country, except for this one, every country they ever are in.
There is always a program or, you know, a Holocaust.
Wherever they are, they are either put into a ghetto or exterminated.
That's the reason Israel exists.
No longer do they have to have permission to defend themselves.
Jews have a right to live.
I know that's a crazy concept, but I have the t-shirt.
Jews have a right to live.
And they have a right to defend themselves, period.
And if that's the way they want to defend themselves, I'm with them.
I'm with them.
I'm no longer buying into the bull crap that, well, they want a two-state solution.
No, they don't.
No.
No, they don't.
No, they don't.
They had the opportunity.
Multiple times, they always turn it down.
They want the destruction of Israel and the Jews.
But doesn't it say in the Hamash Charter very specifically, we desire a two-state solution?
No, it's weird.
It says just the opposite.
Oh, okay, okay.
Koala, tell us where the Jew is hiding behind the tree or the rock so we can kill them.
Oh, yeah.
So it's got that going on.
And eventually the rocks, if I'm not mistaken, are going to actually yell out, there's a Jew behind me.
Yes, which is that's in the charter as well.
Yeah, so that's really good.
So yesterday, Iran was crazy.
Well, no, sorry, crazier than they usually are.
Some of their official communications are, let's just say, getting a bit odd, yes.
Talking about, and again, this is official statements about the final battle of God is upon us.
That's a little alarming,
but it also shows that Israel's enemies, our enemies, see this in clearly a different,
it's not just a geopolitical like situation from them.
It's not a humanitarian situation for them.
I don't understand how everybody in the media can look at somebody who says,
I believe that America was a God-inspired place.
And they go, Religious zealot, they're going to kill us all.
And they can listen to these clerics who say, The final battle of time is here.
and we will wash the world in the blood of the
Israeli Holocaust.
We will use the fire
of the Islamic fury to wash the world in blood.
And everybody's like, yeah, they don't mean it.
Man, we give them a, hey, how about we build apartments for them?
Pallets of cash.
Let's give them maybe that.
I mean, it's crazy.
It's insane.
Yeah.
And that wasn't the only communication that they were throwing out.
They were also throwing out from their diplomatic channels that the state of Israel needs to heed the warnings that they have been.
And this was all.
So what does that mean to you?
As a former Intel guy, what does that say to you?
Well,
initially, I think that means heavy IRGC involvement.
That will also mean Shiite militias that are all throughout the Middle East doing God knows what, but they do have a plan.
I think that that could progress towards closing down the two straits that are in the Middle East.
That puts gas at $10 a gallon.
What is the United States's role then?
I mean, Israel's not going to ask for our help militarily.
They're not going to do it.
They're fully capable.
We don't have to intervene.
We'll probably have to intervene then.
What else will there be to do?
I mean, all gas and oil flow stopping because Iran intervenes and does so?
Good thing we have those solar panels and those windmills, huh?
What would gas be?
At least $10.
$10 a gallon.
At least $10.
I mean, in California, you know, I don't know, $87 a gallon in California.
But I mean,
California.
Yeah.
I mean,
it becomes, you know, this is what
Ian Fleming, you know, I've got a, I have a searchlight from the Suez Canal in my office.
Don't ask me.
I try to keep it quiet from my wife because every time she sees it, she's like,
what the hell did you put?
Anyway, it's a searchlight from the Suez Canal in World War II.
And
it's missing the internal spinner that was created by a magician in Egypt at the request of Ian Fleming.
If it wasn't for Ian Fleming, I'm not sure we would have won the war.
Sincerely,
Ian Fleming, the guy who wrote James Bond, was a war strategist and thought outside of the box like crazy.
His job, one of his jobs, was how do we make the Suez Canal disappear?
Because if you bomb it or close it down, we're all done.
We're done.
We have to have the oil.
And so his idea was he went to a magician and said, how do we make it disappear?
And he said, we can't make it disappear, but we can confuse all of the pilots.
And so they had these big arc lights with this mirrored spinner inside and they would point it at the planes as they approached.
and the planes would have to veer off because they couldn't, the pilots would get so confused.
That's why we have the Suez Canal.
Now we're looking at that very scenario again.
What are we going to do, Magic Men in Washington?
What are you going to do?
Well, the Iranians figured out how to do that without blowing up the Suez, and that was them getting involved in Yemen.
That was the entire, everyone was talking about, you know, before, I guess.
Why are we in Yemen?
Yeah, and why are the Saudis like, like, let's not support the Saudis over there, which I'm not saying to support the Saudis, but no one could figure out why is Iran getting involved with the Saudis in Yemen?
It's to shut down that strait.
It is right there on the border of that strait, Bab el-Mendeb, that goes directly into the Suez.
That is the reason.
We have an aircraft carrier there.
We typically do.
I know that we have one in the Med, and I think another one going to the Med.
I think there's a Marine amphibious ready group that is nearby to respond.
But the closer this gets, I would not be surprised if the Biden administration does not shut down the ground invasion,
if Netanyahu says, no, we're doing this our own way.
Do you think Biden is going there to slow this down?
Why else would he go?
Well, show support.
Show support.
Yeah.
I just don't think so.
I don't see it.
It feels like a full court pressure to get the Israelis to stop.
That's what it feels like to me.
Yeah, or at least minimize what they're doing.
I don't think you're going to get them to stop.
I hope not.
And, you know, I would be fine with the Israelis saying to the president, we're a little busy right now.
We want to thank you for
your little gift that you brought us from, I don't know, Tiffany's.
It's great.
It's a bull.
We'll put it someplace and we'll never use it.
But thank you for that.
Goodbye.
Be very nice about it, but goodbye.
We've got a war to fight.

It's soccer practice.
Yeah, soccer practice.
You know, they're not playing soccer.
No.
Well, it's weird that they're hanging around the soccer fields then.
I was going to say, so you should pick them up immediately.
Yeah, we'll have more analysis on this coming up in just a second.
Also,

This is the Glen Beck program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
We are an hour away from possibly selecting a new Speaker of the House.
Very important.
Otherwise,
hmm.
I don't know.
We fall into the hands of the Republicans who always have the great idea of, hey, why don't we work together with the left?
Oh, my God.
You can call your congressmen right now, make sure they're voting for Jim Jordan and put your personal differences aside, please, congressmen and women.
Please, can you?
I don't know.
Whole world's on fire.
Let's get something done.
We'll have the update on that as we get closer.
Also, Father Calvin Robinson is with us.
He's an Anglican deacon, very outspoken in Great Britain, and just been told, shh, shh, shut up, sit down.
He's not.
We'll talk to him in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Life Lock.
You know, those cyber criminals,
they're the best, aren't aren't they, Stu?
They're the best.
They're working in their mom's basement or in Vlad's basement.
I love them.
Yeah, I love them.
There's nothing better.
Productive citizens.
They can steal anything that belongs to you, including your name, your identity, all of it, your personal information.
It's important to understand how cybercrime and
identity theft are affecting your life.
Equally important to realize that there are measures you can take to help keep it from happening.
Nobody can stop everything, but I'm telling you, help protect what's yours with Life Lock by Norton.

Father Calvin Robinson, an Anglican deacon, is here to answer, what the heck happened to Great Britain?
Oh, my goodness.
I wish I knew.
In fact, I do know.
How are you?
Very well.
How are you?
Good.
Thank you for having me on.
You bad.
Welcome.
I'm glad you're here.
It's amazing.
So
GB News, explain for anybody that doesn't know what GB News,
Great Britain News.
And it is an independent voice.
The premise of GB News was it was supposed to provide some kind of alternative perspective in England.
So we've got Sky News, we've got the BBC, we've got a number of state broadcasters, Channel 4, and they all sing from the same hymns.
It's a metropolitan liberal elite bubble.
It's our Westminster bubble.
Our press and our politicians all live in the same area and talk the same talk.
But the vast majority of the country do not think like that.
Correct.
And there's a silent majority that felt left behind.
And so GB News was started how long ago?
Almost two years now.
Two years.
Just coming up to two years, yeah.
And you guys do great work, really great work.
Thank you.
And what happened?
They've gone mainstream, unfortunately.
This is the problem.
If you try to offer an alternative perspective in England, you'll get clamped down upon.
So we had, everyone was after us.
You know, the left, the liberals were after us because we were coming from a, a lot of us were coming from a centre-right perspective, even though we have to show balance in the UK.
So every single conversation we have, we have to have someone from the left and someone from the right.
Oh, is that why it's so obnoxious?
So I could say, I believe this, but other people believe that.
You can never just say, this is my opinion, this is what I think.
Because our broadcaster, our broadcast regulator, Ofcom, clamped down heavily on due impartiality and balance.
So we had that angle.
We had the advertisers pulling out, if ever we mentioned anything, you know, the sanctity of life, for example,
the sanctity of marriage being between one man and one woman, anything as controversial and outrageous as that, the advertisers would pull out.
So on the one hand, we're trying to have balance in what we say.
On the other hand, we've got to kind of feed the crocodile and make sure that the advertisers pay us.
And then there's a woke mob, and the woke mob has been gunning for us since day one.
And the woke mob isn't just the
lefty liberals, it's also the other broadcasters.
You know, people on the BBC and Sky were saying, close the whole thing down.
We don't want any competition.
It is crazy.
It's unbelievable how many people are afraid of other people's opinions.
Well, they don't want a free press either, which is astounding to me.
A broadcaster should experience a breadth of diversity of thought and opinion.
It should be a good thing.
But they're like, no, close those down.
They're not part of, they call it the broadcast ecology.
Oh, God.
So you were fired at GPS.
Yeah.
I mean, the brief synopsis of that story is that my friend Lawrence Fox said on air something inappropriate about a woman because she's a misindris, she's a man-hating fourth-wave feminist, and he was saying, who'd want to have a relationship with someone like that, someone who clearly hates men?
Wait, that was it?
I don't know if I can use the word he said on air.
Okay, no, probably you have different.
He used an inappropriate word against her, but it's a word that she's used many times against men.
And he was trying to say, this is a broader conversation here because the conversation was about men's mental health.
The biggest killer in men under the age of 50 in the UK is suicide.
We have a serious men's mental health problem.
You know, we were talking about this yesterday.
If this kind of suicide, if this was anything else, anything else,
it would be called an epidemic.
And all of these resources would be unleashed to stop this, figure out what's going on.
But Glenn, men are at the bottom of the intersectionality ladder, especially white men, all the way at the bottom.
So there's no help provided.
So, wait a minute, your friend was the one who said this.
Right.
So, she had a conversation first.
This female commentator had a conversation with someone who was saying, We need a men's minister.
So, in our country, we have a women's minister in our parliament that looks after women's issues.
He was saying, We need a men's minister too, because men have particular issues and concerns that need addressing.
Either we don't have either or we have both.
And she said, No, we don't need a men's minister.
Men are the problem, men are the oppressors.
Women have mental health issues too.
It's all what a bowtery, what a battery.
And essentially, my friend Lawrence Fox was asked to comment on this situation.
And he said, look, people like her are the problem.
Men hating fourth-wave feminists.
Who'd want to be with a person like that?
Used an inappropriate word, one that wasn't illegal, but I would say is probably immoral.
Should have been chastised for it, should have been reprimanded for it.
But he was suspended.
And the host of the show that he was on was also suspended for...
providing well not providing enough challenge and i said we cannot call ourselves the home of free speech and then cancel someone for saying something that we find offensive.
And then I get suspended.
Oh, that's good.
It's just shocking.
It's good.
I've read some stuff that you have talked about, and I've got a lot to talk to you about.
But one of them is: I was just over in London, and
it's just
dead inside.
It
is also
not
Great Britain that it used to be.
If you look at the Palestinian...
Oh, don't.
London is a separate country at this point.
It is.
I can walk around London for half an hour and not hear a single English accent or possibly even the English language.
The demographics, English people are in a minority in our capital city.
And that is a little frightening because of what's happening this week with the Palestinians.
You know, it's happening here in the United States as well.
I have no problem if you're for the Palestinians, but
not if you are for the killing of innocents and not through war, but planned executions of walking into people's houses and just killing the whole family.
Hamas is a proscribed terrorist organization in our country.
And we have people out on the streets waving the Palestinian flag, supporting Hamas for what they're doing, for the kidnapping, the rape, murder of civilians, and babies, for goodness sake, because they hate the Jews so much.
This is the dividing line in our country.
It is the Muslims versus the Jews.
It's those who support Israel versus those who support the Mohammedans.
Unfortunately, you know, out here, you seem to have a different picture.
Abortion seems to be the line where you can determine if someone's on the right or left of politics.
In our country, it's where do you stand with the Mohammedans versus the Jews?
So, is it about Israel,
or is it about?
I mean, because I think it's not enough to be for Israel.
You have to be for the right of the Jewish people to live.
And
that seems to separate
people throughout history.
You know, people will be, oh, no, I'm for Israel.
I'm sure I'm for Israel.
But they're not necessarily for the Jews' right to live.
Right, right.
Well, this is the problem.
I mean, if you look at the entire area of the Middle East, Israel is surrounded by hostile states.
It's Islamic states all the way around.
And all they want to do is live in peace in the center of that hellhole.
And of course, they have to defend themselves.
And the moment they do, people say, Oh, you're oppressing us, you're persecuting us.
But I'm not saying there isn't nuance in this conversation.
There's plenty of nuance to be had.
On my show, I've talked about the persecution of Christians in Israel recently, and that is ramping up by both sides, by the Muslim, by the Arabs, and the Jews.
So that needs to be addressed, but does not stop the Jewish people having a right to live.
Do you have a problem?
Because I mean,
Israel,
I know the chief rabbi of the holy places, and his job is to oversee
Muslim,
Jewish, Christian holy places, and make sure that they are all protected.
That's his job.
However, I don't have a problem with the Jewish people having a
Jewish state.
Now, it's not, but I don't have a problem with that.
Do you?
I mean, if
that's what they want to do,
they can do that.
Now, when they start executing people like Saudi Arabia or
Iran, then I have a problem with it.
But if you're saying, look, this is a home for Jews,
I don't have a problem.
Well, that is the only Jewish state.
We have plenty of Christian states, plenty of Islamic states.
That's the only Jewish state there is.
And I think it's important to have a state religion because it sets out the values for that country.
It says, this is what we believe as a people.
This is who we are.
And it's the foundation of your culture.
You have to have a set of values and principles that people subscribe to.
So our founders thought the exact opposite.
No, that's not true.
No, no, no.
A state religion.
Yeah.
We are a Judeo-Christian country, but we don't have a state religion.
Let's go back to before you were a country, though.
Every single state that was set up in the United States was founded on a Christian setting.
Their constitutions were explicitly Christian, whether it was Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Anglican, Catholic, all of the states were Christian.
The problem was when they came together and when they stopped being these United States and became the United States.
No, no, no.
The problem came.
Our founders were deeply,
they knew that this country will fail if we ever lose our underpinnings of God.
What they didn't want was, no offense, the Anglican church.
They didn't want one church that was ruling everything.
I agree, but it became implicit.
In your Constitution of the United States, God is implicit and
the Christian God is implicit.
If it's not explicit, it's not protected.
That's the problem.
And if we look all around the world, in Christian countries, everyone's right to freedom of worship is protected.
But in countries that aren't Christian, you don't have that same freedom of worship.
Correct.
Correct.
So I saw in
one of the articles you wrote,
I mean,
you guys are in more trouble than we are, and we're in a lot of trouble.
The number of abortions is about 200,000 per year, right?
The number of marriages in Great Britain,
also about 200,000 a year.
Abortions going up, marriage going down.
That doesn't sound good.
We're killing the family, quite literally.
We're killing ourselves off.
The birth rate in the UK is down to 1.4.
It might be even less than that now.
So we're not even replacing ourselves.
A mother and father
aren't having two children.
And we are being outbred.
by people that do not like our culture and do not like our religion and do not like necessarily our state.
So it's not a good place that we're in.
We need to encourage families.
We need to encourage marriage.
We need to encourage fathers in particular.
Fatherlessness is at a massive all-time high in our country, and we see the statistics show us that if a family breaks down before a child reaches the age of 18, they're twice as likely to end up homeless, twice as likely to end up failing school, and twice as likely to end up in prison or some kind of crime.
It benefits society to have two parents.
Back in just a minute.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor, which is Mantis X.
You know, this is one of the things you guys should do over in Great Britain because we lose sponsors all the time.
So we go to people who, you know, like our audience, like gunmakers.
Sound.
Anyway, Mantis X, Mantis X will help you
retain your ability to shoot and shoot accurately.
Ammunition is so expensive right now.
I honestly, I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I start firing rounds and all I'm doing is just I'm hearing, I'm not hearing bang, I'm hearing cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching.
And you don't know if you're even going to be able to replace that at times.
You've got to keep your skills up.
But if you want to find a way that you can take this to the range and use it with bullets or you can just dry fire and it is really good.
It started with the Marines and now the military is using this across all their platforms.
94% of the people improve within 20 minutes of using Mantis X.
It's a device you just put it on the end of the barrel of your gun.
Then when you point,
it tracks how, you know, if you're shaking, if you're drifting, it tracks it on your phone or on your iPad, and you can see it in real time.
As you pull the trigger, it also shows you exactly what you're doing right and doing wrong, and then tells you how to correct it.
It's really amazing.
Start improving today.
Get yours at mantisx.com.
That's mantisx.com.
10 seconds, station ID.
You haven't done that before.
But not with revolvers and and rifles.
Really?
Gun clubs are so weird over there.
Anyway,
we want to welcome back our guest this half hour.
It's Father Calvin Robinson.
He's an Anglican deacon,
and we're just talking about the state of the Western world.
This is happening, and we are,
I mean, we're committing suicide.
We're committing suicide.
And nobody seems to care.
And the churches are
completely silent.
What do we do?
If they're not silent, they're worse than that.
They're complicit.
This is the problem.
In the church of England at the moment, there's a conversation being had about how they can implement same-sex blessings.
So essentially, approve of gay marriage.
That's the same thing the Pope is doing now with his synod.
He's like,
same-sex marriage blessings.
Not the same.
But it is.
No, we're blessing the people, not the union.
It's legalistic nonsense.
pharisaical is what it is.
And you can't ask God to bless what he has called abhorrent.
So
what do we do to fight this?
Well, I think it has to be from the ground up.
It has to be the laity.
It has to be the faithful masses have to say, no, this is not okay because the leaders are captured.
The liberals have taken over the Western church.
And we see that everywhere from America to Canada to Australia, New Zealand, and England.
Everywhere.
However, so I was in Rwanda in Africa earlier this year, and there's so many faithful Anglicans out there.
I went to the GAFCOM meeting, so the primates from 85% of the world's representatives of Anglicans were there, and they were Orthodox in their faith.
And it reminded me that in America and England, we spread the gospel around the world.
You know, in England, the British Empire spread it to the colonies and America likewise.
And now it's time to get those people to return the gospel to us because we have lost it.
China is the same way.
The people in Iraq and Syria, the Christians that were there, their faith is unlike unlike anything I've ever witnessed in America.
Well, maybe it's because they are so persecuted out there.
And we're going to get, you were hinting at, we're getting to a point where we might be persecuted for being Christians in the West.
So maybe that will strengthen the church.
How do we strengthen if you're going to a church right now and you have kind of a wishy-washy, how do you strengthen?
For people who want to stay in their church, but they would like to get it back on track.
Yeah.
It's difficult.
I struggle with this.
I landed in America a few days ago and I was looking for a church to go to on Sunday.
I was looking around.
All the Episcopal churches here had female priests, so obviously I couldn't go to one of them.
There was all kinds of wacky stuff.
There was 100% Jesus church, which I don't know what that means as if all the other churches don't have 100% Jesus, maybe 80%.
Oh,
I went to a church where the, I swear to you, with a cross on the steeple, it said, the pastor said, now, you all know that I don't believe in God, but.
And I was like, what?
What?
How is that even possible?
So 100% Jesus, that's a step.
Oh, this universalism is taking over.
But I mean, there were so many churches, is my point, but it was so difficult to find a good, solid church with sound teaching.
That's the problem.
So I don't know what the faith will do.
If they walk away and say, we're not going to stay here because you're not teaching the Bible, maybe that will leave the corrupt
organizations to continue what they're doing.
So maybe that's not the best approach.
Maybe stay and fight from within, but then you're not receiving sound teaching.
I don't know what the answer is.
You optimistic or pessimistic for the West?
I have hope because it doesn't matter what happens to the West.
This might be the end of the Western civilization as we know it.
You know, empires have risen and fallen throughout human history.
We have taken for granted that what we have now will always be, but it doesn't need to be.
As long as we maintain our faith, that's what's important.
The kingdom to come is what's important.
What we are experiencing now doesn't really matter.
So maybe the West will crumble.
We can't cling on to it too tightly.
We have to help it as much as we can.
We have to advance the kingdom, but we can't make an idol of Western civilization.
We can't lose our first citizenship to save our second.
Absolutely.
That's just me putting it.
And there are many examples of that.
And it's amazing to me how many Christians
who claim to believe in a biblical God,
but see the saving of the West as too big of a miracle.
We've got to do it.
And it's like...
I mean, raising people from the dead, that's a little harder than, you know.
Well, I mean, it goes two ways, doesn't it?
We have to pray, but we also have to enact things.
Yeah, we have, God works through us.
Yeah.
It's weird.
We are
we are self-hating egomaniacs so many, so much of the time.
We either deny the power of God
and think we're all-powerful, or we
deny any power or any,
you know, ability to do anything about it and put it all on God, where it's, it's kind of a little a mixture of both.
It is.
Yeah.
There's a massive problem of us trying to make gods of ourselves at the moment.
So you're going back to England.
What are you doing?
Well, I'm just going back to my church.
So I've always been bivocational.
So I've got a parish church that I'm responsible for, and I also have the media stuff.
I don't have the media stuff anymore, so I don't know what I'm going to be doing next.
Well, maybe we can help you.
There's another GB news here, kind of called Blaze.
You believe in freedom?
You believe in Christ?
Yes, we do.
Yes, we do.
Thank you so much, Father.
I appreciate it.
God bless.

The Glenn Beck program.
So on top of everything else, you know, bad that's going on is really a Hamas conflict is stirring up oil prices.
We talked about that earlier.
If the
straits are lost in this, you know, you're looking at least $10, $15 a gallon of gas.
Global oil prices are starting to shoot up now.
It's trading at about $86 a barrel.
It could hit 100.
I've seen sustained $150 a barrel predictions.
We know what happened last time that was true.
Here in the United States, this changes everything.
Here's what I would like you to do.
I don't want you to do anything based on what I tell you.
I want you to do your own homework.
You're smart enough to figure things out.
But do your homework on gold and silver.
Do your homework on the Euro, getting parity now with the U.S.
dollar.
What does that mean and what's happening to the dollar?
Right now, this week, I want you to call Goldline.
They have a golden opportunity, purchase a tube of quarter-ounce gold Mayflower rounds, and get a five-pack of their popular two-ounce maple
flex bars out of silver.
You'll get them for free.

We're going live for the jordan vote on youtube.com slash studosamerica go there follow the page now and we'll have all the details
we're going to be covering uh live on social media at uh stu's youtube page youtube.com slash stu does america uh coming up in about 25 minutes we're going to be uh covering the uh the vote on jim jordan anxious to see how that goes.
He still does not have
as many votes as he needs, but he is close.
Yeah, what's likely to happen, most likely scenario, is he's going to come pretty close,
and then they will go back into conference and try to convince the people they think they can win over.
They will have one vote coming back as one representative is away for a funeral today.
So they would have in a second vote probably one more vote.
There is a somewhat disturbing report, if accurate, that I don't want to hear disturbing.
That
the band-aid off.
Okay.
So basically, if you think about the way this is structured, right, Jordan, obviously a favorite of conservatives, right?
To get through to 217, you're going to need a bunch of moderates.
Many more than I believed would come along, have come along already.
Like, they're close.
They're closer than I thought they would be.
But there is a report that many of them have, many of them have said off the record: basically, if he can't get to 217 on this first vote, we're going to start going a different direction.
So, if they don't get that 217 on the first vote, then you see these guys who didn't really want to vote for Jordan anyway, but are going along with the group.
What's their new direction?
What is their new direction?
I mean, one of them floated McCarthy again.
Oh, God.
Now, the Democrats are starting to float ideas as well.
Of course they are.
Ideas like selecting individual representatives.
They think they could pull off five or six votes from the Republicans with and vote all the Democrats plus five or six Republicans.
If they do that, if those Republicans,
they know.
They've got to know.
But they're probably already in purple districts.
In some ways, it might actually help them in their elections.
And yes, you're right.
They would get punished.
by the caucus and they would get uh they would get punished and take all sorts of internal hits for that.
Only five of them are needed.
Only five of them needed.
That's why we need seven to do Jim Jordan and five
to do
whomever the Democrats are picking.
That's insanity.
I mean, this is why this was such a risky process, right?
Again, I don't think anyone who thought it was not a good idea to get rid of McCarthy was like, I just love McCarthy so much.
Like, that was never the argument, at least from our side of this.
The argument is you're taking a very large risk for
a controlled gain.
Jim Jordan would be a good Speaker of the House, but he has very little going on here as far as what he can do other than investigations.
I will say the good thing about Jordan, if he does win, when Republicans do get that power back, him being in control will be a big deal.
So this could still be a win.
It was never a definite loss by any means.
No, it could be a huge win, and it could be okay.
Yeah, there are ways this can go, but what happens here is you opened up the situation to catastrophe.
Why is it?
Why is it that the Democrats can always get the craziest people?
And we can't get somebody who's just like, I don't know, I believe in the Constitution and we should stop spending so much money.
Yeah, that is.
I mean, it is.
It's despicable.
If you Republicans are despicable.
Pure politics-wise, it's an impressive impressive thing for the Democrats.
They are able to put in
what I would argue are some of the worst people in our society in positions of power and get them through their conference.
I don't know what that says about
their conference is pretty significant, I think.
I'd like to teach a principle here to the
Republicans.
Okay.
What was the problem
with Afghanistan?
The way we pulled out of Afghanistan.
What was the problem?
You're going to want me to limit this to one thing?
Yeah, limit it to one big thing.
Wow.
How about that we destroyed the work of our hard-working military members?
Yeah, that's a good one.
But how did we do that?
We
left them out there to crumble.
Left them out there to crumble?
The entire society, really?
All our allies in the country.
Yeah.
How did that happen?
How did that happen?
What caused that?
What caused that?
I'm just sorry.
There is a point to this.
Weakness, cowardice, incompetence.
They are getting closer, getting warmer, getting warmer.
Ideological distaste for good things.
Lack
of
a plan.
Okay.
Afghanistan, we could have ended that if we had a plan.
But the president said,
down on September 11th.
And that was the plan.
We're going to get out on September 11th.
Okay?
That's not a plan.
That's a disaster waiting to happen.
Kind of like Mr.
Gates, who said, don't get out of McCarthy
without a plan.
Okay?
Look,
as we noted at the time, a lot of Matt Gates'
criticisms of the situation were
hold dear myself.
I hold many of the things he said very dear myself.
But I'd like a plan.
Now, Gates will be voting for Jordan today.
And I like that.
Thank you.
Look, I don't think this was the plan at the beginning.
No.
But if this is true, if that were the plan.
As you pointed out with the Russian roulette thing, sometimes you pull the trigger, nothing happens.
And
I don't know, sometimes maybe something comes out and gives you a nice little temple massage.
So something is, we might, this might wind up turning out positive, and that's great.
I hope it does.
I am enough of a pessimist to never believe that's going to occur.
Right.
Maybe it will.
Why?
Why?
Because the Republicans
have it.
Why don't we?
Because we never have a plan.
Now, let me say, let me do the opposite.
What was the plan of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden most likely when Hunter went to work for the oligarchs in Ukraine.
What was the plan?
My guess is the plan was: hey,
dad's 100 years old.
His career is about to end in a few months.
We better cash in as much as possible until then.
Okay, that's a good plan.
I mean, if you're a criminal,
that's a good plan.
It is a good plan.
Right?
Okay.
But then somebody at the table should say, what if that goes wrong?
What was their plan?
I think a fake email address from Joe Biden was their plan.
You'll never find this.
And their plan has another plan and another plan and another plan.
Well, we deny it, but what happens if they find it?
We still deny it.
What happens if they find that?
Well, then we start changing our story.
We go to the
PR campaign to the media and we make them say all of our lies for us.
Just to make Europeans happy, we're at plan ZZ
on the stupid Biden thing.
They've already gone through plan A, Plan C, Plan D, E, F, G, all the way through the alphabet twice.
They had a plan.
They still have a plan.
That's how they get evil stuff done.
But because
we can't seem to get our...
I wish
I were not on FCC regulated
airwaves.
But then again, Jesus popped into my mind and said, do you really?
So, no.
We can't get our crap together.
We can't seem to come up with a single plan.
You know what the Biden administration, their people are doing right now?
Actually, it's Obama's people.
They're making a plan for when they've stolen the next election.
And they are coming in with, I don't even know who, Michelle Obama.
They got that plan.
I can guarantee you, they got that plan.
Here's what I would like to say.
Republicans,
you're idiots.
You can't seem to get out of your own way.
This hasn't even failed yet.
Well, you know how much faith I have in Republicans.
I will be glad to say this was wonderful, but I will never say this was your plan.
You know how people call up and go, no, see, what they're doing is they've got
they've got John Roberts on the sub no they don't no they don't there is no plan they're Republicans there's no plan
so
here's what I would like to just say if you would like a repeating of Afghanistan in all of your life
don't have a plan
Now, there are times when you want to get away from something really, really super bad.
Okay?
This is where
you should have a plan.
For instance, I'm trapped in the bottom of the Titanic
and
I got to get out of the room because it's going to be a watery death.
If the door is steaming that I'm going to go through, I'm probably walking into a fiery death.
But just grabbing the door and going, oh, that's hot and opening it up isn't a plan.
You die either way.
Don't run from something.
Run to something.
So if they would have said, McCarthy, we got to get rid of him.
We have to stand up.
Great.
Where are you headed?
Well, somebody else.
That's not a plan.
That's not a destination.
We're headed towards Jim Jordan.
Okay.
Do we have the support?
Or is that a door we're going to touch and go
and we're going to walk into a fiery death trap?
Thus endeth today's lesson.
Have a plan.
Okay.
You have a heartbeat.
That means generally,
you're alive.
Yeah, what about brain waves?
We're talking about a heartbeat is a sign that you are alive.
Now, I have never seen a lump of flesh that was like a tumor have a heartbeat unless it was connected to the real heart, the only heart in the body.
Lumps of flesh, they don't have heartbeats.
It's an easy way to tell what's alive and what's not.
That's why when pre-born comes in, they come in with a free ultrasound.
So these expectant mothers that are caught in this crisis, when they hear the baby's heartbeat and then sees the baby there, fingers and toes and everything else, a baby's chance at life doubles.
And then pre-born continues to help provide critical care for that mama and baby.
Not just until the birth, but for two years.
These people have a plan, and it works, and it saves moms and children.
Would you like to help?
Tax-deductible gift will go directly to this cause of the ultrasounds.
28 bucks can save a baby's life.
To donate, pound 250 is the number.
Just dial pound 250.
Say the keyword baby.

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.
I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.
He's going the distance.
He was the highest paid TV star of all time.
When it started to change, it was quick.
He kept saying, no, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.
Now, Charlie's sober.
He's going to tell you the truth.
How do I present this with a class?
I think we're past that, Charlie.
We're past that, yeah.
Somebody call action.
AKA Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.
Lend back program.
We're going to Stu's YouTube page, youtube.com slash Stu DoesAmerica.
And we're going to
go over the vote, and
I may begin to drink again.
I'm not sure.
But it should be interesting.
You know what?
Stu, it's going to be interesting to see how these people work it out, isn't it?
That is how I always feel about everything now.
Ever since you brought that piece of knowledge to us, I felt great about it.
Just it kind of gives you denial over what may happen.
Shrug your shoulders, nothing you can do about it.
Be interesting to see how this plays out.
Yeah,
here is a Cornell professor on the Hamas attack.
Listen to this.
There are thousands of goodwill, many Palestinians conscious,
who abhor violence,
as they do, as do I,
who abhor targeting of civilians,
as do you, as do I.
Who are able to breathe.
They were able to breathe for the first time in years.
Wow, that's great.
It was exhilarating.
It was exhilarating.
Oh.
It was exhilarating.
It was energizing.
It was energizing.
If they weren't exhilarated.
By this challenge of the monopoly of violence.
By this shifting of the balance of power, then they would not be human.
I was exhilarated.
Hey, stop.
I was exhilarated, he said, when he was watching this, and you're not human if you weren't exhilarated.
Yeah.
Or, you know, or not, or you're a monster.
I'm not really sure.
Play cut three.
Here are Palestinian supporters stomping on the Israeli flag in
San Diego.
So that's going well for him in California.
Stomping on the Israeli flag.
Okay.
Yeah, that's great.
How about this one?
The Palestinian flag raised on a statue in London of King Charles.
Which is great.
Yeah, they're putting the Yasser Arafat headwear on him and Palestinian flag.
A lot of respect there.
Okay, here's the reason why we have to decide who we are.
I had a really wise man on earlier today, and he was talking about, you know,
has to be an official church.
No, no, we're different in America.
We don't believe in that, but we do believe in the Judeo-Christian principles.
That's what we were founded on.
And we cannot coexist with people who don't have a Judeo-Christian attitude.
You can be a Muslim, but not believe in the parts of the Quran that says, oh, rocks, tell me where the Jews are so I can kill them.
You know what I mean?
You could be a Muslim and say, say, now, you know, I don't buy into that part of the Quran where I can take people as slaves because that's what Judeo-Christians believe.
There's slavery things in there, okay?
We don't do that.
We don't do that.
The problem comes in when people come into the country and they do not share your values.
Values and principles are different than ideas,
different than, you know, different ways of life, culture.
That's fine.
You have to unite around principles and values.
And I'm sorry, if you were exhilarated at the killing of babies and children who are just being executed in cold blood,
you know, you're a human, sure, but not one
that really fits into the scheme of the Western way of life and civilization.
