Starting point is 00:02:49 That's great. That's great. Later this hour, I'm going to play a few of the clips from my interview with JFK. Wow, you got him? Oh my gosh, you got JFK? Now it is Dallas. We're in Dallas. He's made a remarkable recovery. Really? Gosh, the modern science is just...
Starting point is 00:03:08 Well, they kept him frozen for a lot of years underneath Parkland Hospital. Wow, a miracle. A miracle. Wait until next week. I have an interview with Walt Disney. No! Yes. You got him.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Incredible. It's going to be exciting. RFK Jr. was in the studio. And I have to tell you that... I may not have been at my tippy top when I did the interview. I had just had a back procedure done and they put you under general anesthesia and then say, don't do anything for at least 12 hours. And I'm like, yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:45 But I have an interview with R.K.J. Jr. And they're like, did you just say you had a? I have it. So wait, you got, you said his name right when you were on drugs, but then you got on the air and said it was JFK. Yeah, it was weird. So anyway, so I did the interview with him and we'll talk about it coming up in just a little while and I'll play some clips of it.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Who did you get to stand in to do his voice so we don't have to hear it? Was there, what actor did you bring in to like say the same words? I can't take it. I know he's got an issue. I know I should feel, I got it. But like, it's tough to hear, listen to his voice. It is tough. And, you know, listening to him for, you know, an.
Starting point is 00:04:27 hour in 15 minutes, the only question, when I got towards the end, the only question I really wanted to ask was, does that hurt? Yeah. Yeah. Right. But it doesn't. It sounds, all I feel like is like he's just swallowed like 12 razor blades. Yeah, I know. And that's
Starting point is 00:04:42 really what I think about it. It's like I think of legitimate pain when I hear him talking. And it's hard to focus. He's got a breathing thing too with it. You know, as he's talking, he's like, and it really it really is. Yeah. I mean, it's tough. It's tough. You do feel bad for him on that, especially because, you know, he's had these aspirations, obviously, for a very long time. And it's a big hump to get over. I mean, you know, they talk about you want that perfect candidate, as Trump always says, out of central casting. Like, and, you know, he's like, everyone says he's the good looking guy and he's got a Hollywood wife. And, you know, he's got the family name. He's got so many of the things that you'd think would make a perfect presidential candidate for the Democrat.
Starting point is 00:05:26 But... Then he has a past. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean... His past policies. Did you get into that at all? I was good.
Starting point is 00:05:33 You said past policies. Did you get in any of his past? I mean, the fact that he's got, I mean, is an incredible womanizer. I mean, to some level, it's he's a Kennedy. Of course he is. I mean, to the point, though, that when he's, you know, his wife found out and killed herself. I mean, this is not a good story. I didn't get into, hey, your wife.
Starting point is 00:05:56 killed yourself because you're a philanderer. No, I didn't ask that question. You didn't get into that? No, I didn't. Why not? I didn't. Why not? I didn't think the interview would go well after that. It wouldn't go well, no, which is exactly what I wanted to happen. Right. I wanted it to go terrible. This one was hard for me. This was really hard for me. Is this because he wanted you to be specifically dead? Is this because he wanted you, he didn't want this interview to happen because 20 years ago he wanted you to be dead? Yes. Is that the reason? That is the reason. You know, and he, He is such an extremist and on some issues, right? Like he's good on others, right?
Starting point is 00:06:32 Like, and that's, but yes, he's kind of, honestly, even on some of the issues he's good at, he's a bit of an extremist. Yes, he's kind of extreme everywhere. Right. And I, and I don't trust him. I just don't trust him. I mean, I ended up, I real, that's what I really, that's what I really wanted to find in this interview. Can, has he really changed?
Starting point is 00:06:55 Has he really changed? And he gave me an answer to that. And I, I, I, I, do you buy it? Do you bias conversion? Because that's what I hear from people who like him on the conservative side. They say, look, yes, he said every horrible thing that anyone could ever think of as a liberal. However, he's now different and we should believe him and make him president. And that's a, that's a big leap for me.
Starting point is 00:07:20 It's not one I'm even willing to take, right? Like, I'm not saying you can't have a conversion, but a conversion like that, which by the way, in his own words, seems to be incredibly recent, right? Like, over the past four years, right? Yeah, yeah, COVID. COVID. He said COVID changed him.
Starting point is 00:07:35 And that could be. Yeah, clearly that did affect him. Correct. And, you know, it's central to the way he's been for a long time. He told me he, everything changed with COVID for him. He said he didn't ever expect any of those things to happen on the government side or that the people would take it. He said, I was shocked.
Starting point is 00:07:58 And I'm like, I don't know. Me too. Me too. Some of it was shocking to us, although a lot of it was not so shocking. And I think that's, like, it's fascinating. And you think about, like, when you think about your neighbors who vote, you know, voting for Joe Biden, a lot of them are in that same world where they just don't think the things we say will happen could possibly occur. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Right. Like they're in that, like, haze of like, ah, come on. And every, this is, these are the people we talked about yesterday with Donald Trump who say, oh, well, if he's convicted of a felony, I won't vote for him. And it's like, well, there's a like a version of America where I could really see that being a sensible position. Like, not now. I'm 60 years old. And I would say at least 40 of those years and maybe 45 of those years, I would have been like. A felon?
Starting point is 00:08:53 No. But no. Right. But like now I think you have to look at that with different eyes. Because you don't trust the judicial system. This thing in New York with him is out of control. Yeah. Just completely out of control.
Starting point is 00:09:08 There's that. First of all, statute of limitations, gone, doesn't seem to matter to anybody. He's past the statute of a limit. You know why we can't get Hunter Biden on the tax thing? because the statute of limitations is passed. Right. They delayed to get past the statute of limitations there. And then in New York, they're coming up with this like novel way to make it count with another crime that the brag has no authority over. And it's not been, he's not been charged with.
Starting point is 00:09:42 And then drags that in combines them so then he can call it a felony so that he can bring it past the statute of limitations. I mean, this is definitely going to. going to get overturned eventually. But the problem is going to get overturned in 2026. And it's like, well, he's either going to be president or not at that point. Right. Like, you know, this is why they're doing these things. Maybe it'll be enough. I don't know. It won't be enough. But, you know, if you can just adjust all of the knobs to be off center by one percent, that adds up. And I think that's, I think that's their plan. They're just, they're hitting absolutely everything.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I mean, I was seeing about this last night. People don't have any idea. I don't either. You don't have any idea how many things have been changed in the last four years. Structurally. You know, I did a show last night on the medical community. This is, this is one of my biggest fears. And it has been since we went into Obamacare.
Starting point is 00:10:50 that if you change the culture with our doctors, you change everything. The scariest people in World War II were not the jackbooted thugs with the black Hugo Boss uniforms. They wore white coats. Doctors were far more dangerous than the SS was. And I know that's saying something. but it was the doctors that systematically killed six million people. It was the doctors. They killed millions of people that they deemed not worthy of life.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Doctors, what I showed you last night on the TV show, and if you missed it, if you're a Blaze TV supporter, you've got to watch last night's episode. because I don't think people understand what's coming our way and they're dismissing what's happening in our medical schools. You are now being told if you go into a medical school, you have to take an oath to DEI. You can't be a doctor and go through medical school in America if you don't swear an oath to DEI. That, by the way, would cancel out your Hippocratic oath. Because your Hippocratic oath is you're a doctor, you'll do no harm, you will not look at the person, you will look at everyone the same. Well, DEI says exactly the opposite. We're in real danger and people don't really understand it because of like what you said.
Starting point is 00:12:36 They don't see, you know, they just think, oh, well, it won't happen. Well, it is happening. It is happening. And it's happening rapidly. People who still think that, you know, we're, they're believing the lies that, oh, you know, inflation's getting better. No, it's not. No, it's not. The Industrial Commodity Index, you know what that is?
Starting point is 00:13:03 It is far higher today than it was in 2020, along with oil and gas prices. Every base resource that companies make to use products is increasing in value, which means it costs more to make the things you want to buy. Agriculture is particularly heavy. It is affected by the oil prices, as well as the prices in fertilizer, farm equipment, higher costs in labor. From 20 to 23, the total cost paid by farmers to raise crops and care for live. stock increased by more than $100 billion or 28% increase. Funny how that number tracks so close to the 30% in overall food prices going up. 30% the cost to make the food has gone up 28%.
Starting point is 00:13:59 So it's not greedflation now, is it? It's real inflation. And what the farmers and everybody else are going through there, it is. not going to stop increasing. Right now, what you paid for in, for eggs and milk and everything else in 2019 is 30% higher today. Now, today, the inflation numbers come out and they say, oh, well, it's only up 3.5%. So inflation's getting better. No, that means it's now 33% higher. Not 30, 33. We've added another three and a half percent. And they're saying that it's, it's not going to slow down here. We're at, they're preparing you now to expect three percent
Starting point is 00:14:55 to four percent inflation every year. Well, you have four percent. Now that, now you're at 37. It is food. I am so concerned that people, look, they're, there, they're, even when I wrote the Great Reset and I said, you know, that they're going to impoverish everyone, I really didn't understand how it was going to happen. It's so real to me now. I know how they're going to impoverish us. They're impoverishing us by making our jobs absolutely unaffordable. The restrictions and the new guidelines that companies and especially small,
Starting point is 00:15:42 businesses have to follow. Then the raising of the minimum wage to 20, 25 percent, small businesses will not be able to function by having no law applied in cities. You know, in 2019, 2020, Manhattan had about 3 percent of their storefronts empty. That's now almost 12 percent. and they're not coming back, they're going away. Because I can't remember what it is. $4 billion, $40 billion. Numbers mean nothing to me anymore. It's in the billions of dollars that just the stores in Manhattan
Starting point is 00:16:30 have lost through theft this year. It's an incredible number. Who's paying for that? Who's paying for all of the goods and services that were giving away to the people that are coming across our border. Who's paying for it? You are. So they're hurting your job.
Starting point is 00:16:53 They're making food harder to buy, harder for the farmers to grow, putting businesses out of work, putting more and more restrictions on you. Look, here's the thing. Because I know in this audience, there's a lot of people that work hard, pay their taxes,
Starting point is 00:17:14 try to do the right thing, believe in the Constitution, believe in a government that is ruled by law and the Constitution, and are worried about tomorrow because you see it coming. You listen to this program. So you see it coming. You're way ahead of most people. Let me give you a piece of advice. Your food has gone up 33% now in inflation.
Starting point is 00:17:43 What investment have you? you made that has gone up in three years by 33%. Have you, do you have anything? You're 401k. Maybe. Let me just say this. Well, give me one minute and then I'm going to come back and I'll give you a piece of advice that, you know, don't listen to me for financial advice or anything else,
Starting point is 00:18:04 but I think it makes an awful lot of sense. Coming up in just a second, first, how often do you point out something you bought with real justifiable pride? How often do you use that product that actually generates that? pride because it's what you're going to have in your phone service when you make the switch to Patriot Mobile. Make the switch today.

Stand with the people who are standing with us. Patriotmobile.com slash back or 972 Patriot. 10 seconds. Station ID. I think if you are the average American,
Starting point is 00:19:39 you need to start looking at food like a 401k. If you start, if you're somebody who's like, I don't have a lot of extra money. Good. I've said this before and it is becoming so apparent that this is going to be worth a lot. Food. Buy food with a long shelf life that you can keep and use. Because if you were using stuff, you know, when you hit tough times and, you know, food is 50%, that's only 20% more in inflation and it will happen. If you're using food that is 50% more expensive, you're going to be able to last a lot longer than going to the grocery store at that time and buying that food. So I would suggest that you look for ways to purchase food with a long shelf life now.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Things are not going to go back the way they were in 2020 for a very long time. They will eventually, but we are hitting, we have not yet felt the ramifications of everything that has been done in the last three years. We will hit this after the election with whomever is president. But just ask yourself, do you trust the people that claimed this was all transitory, didn't exist? It was in your imagination and now tell you, oh, yes, it did happen, but we've got plans to fix it. They're not going to fix this. They're making it worse. I would highly recommend stopping the inflation as much as you can in your own household.
Starting point is 00:21:37 And you can't afford gold or silver or whatever. Food. Food is a great investment right now. buy it when it's on sale keep it store it by as much of it as you can and keep it to yourself back in a minute if you're anything like me you recognize the need for home security and you want it but you also want it on your terms simply safe gets that i know because uh i've asked them about it i've i've taken part in actually setting one up so they one of their amazing uh systems up in my daughter's house.

Starting point is 00:23:23 Cure, 2024. Edward F. Kennedy announced today he is running for president as an independent. He's changed his mind. He's one of us now. RFK called for my execution. Well, I called you a traitor. The next time he'll see Glenn Beck lying to the American public. I respect him as a man. I am not looking to sabotage him. I don't want him to be president. But that's not my decision. That's your decision. Robert, welcome to the program.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Thanks for having me. If you're a Blaze TV subscriber, you can get that. Now it is ready for Blaze TV subscribers. And on Saturday, it'll be everywhere. It's a good trailer. It's a good trailer right there. You know, I feel as though I let people down in a way because it's such a weird paradox. because I did not come gunning for him.
Starting point is 00:24:56 And that's what I wanted to do. I think we should use that terminology with a candidate. Oh, yeah, okay. I didn't need it that way. Yeah. He had Gladbeggers gunning for a Kennedy. Well, Joe Biden would be okay with that. I mean, there's no security on him.
Starting point is 00:25:08 But I, I, I, I, I wanted so badly to just take him apart. And it's not, but I don't feel that's my job. My job is to just ask questions that people want to know and have a decent conversation with somebody. Yeah, I think that's, I mean, you're not going to go in there. That's not what you do. I can't invite, I've always said this. I cannot invite somebody into my own house and then set them on fire. It's not really good.
Starting point is 00:25:51 But I did say to him, there were some things that you have said in the past that Glenn will address. And so he knew that I was going to be addressing a few things. But I just, I don't know. Yeah, you didn't ambush him. No. You shouldn't do that with anybody. I thought the same exact way about the Alex Jones interview. I wanted to go in there, you know, guns blazing, metaphorically speaking.
Starting point is 00:26:18 but he was so nice. Yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't. I asked him the questions I wanted to ask him, I think, for the most part. But I, you know, I thought it was going to be confrontational. And it wasn't? Was it that way with RFK? It wasn't confrontational?
Starting point is 00:26:38 Yeah, because I asked him some things. First of all, I mean, I have great, tremendous respect for his dad. I think Bobby Kennedy was the good Kennedy. You don't think so? Yeah. I mean, he probably, I don't know. Relatively speaking, yes. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:55 And now, I think Ted was the good one. Yeah. And now JFK would wouldn't even make it into the Republican Party, let alone the Democrats. Yeah. So, you know, we started talking on things like that. And he was, he never gave solid answers. He would give, you know, very nice. scenarios, nice things that he wanted to do, but I never felt like I really got an answer,
Starting point is 00:27:26 you know, but I... Were you able to at least, I think, you know, because obviously a lot of the people listening to this are going to be conservatives that are listening to your podcast. Were you able to at least illuminate some of his more liberal views? Because I feel like what's been odd about the RFK thing. He kept saying, uh, I still believe in, for instance, we talked about he. ESG. And do you believe in ESG? You believe that banks should be able to say what they, what people can invest in and debanking people. And he said, what is that? And I said, ESG. He looked at me like, and I, I actually, I can't imagine how, but I actually believe him that he didn't know what ESG was. I mean, that he said, I know. comprehensible in 2024.
Starting point is 00:28:18 You can't be president if you don't know what that is. But I said, ESG, and he just kept looking at me, I said, environmental, social, and governance. And he said, oh, environmental, I'm still right where I was on environmental. And I said, no, do you believe? And he said, well, no, I don't believe that. So it was never, I just didn't feel like you could really pin him. down. He kept coming back, however, to, you know, COVID changed everything for me. Now, whether
Starting point is 00:28:56 that did or not, I've always looked for turning points. I've looked for that pivot point in people's lives. He claims that's his pivot point. Maybe it is. You know, if you want to be president in the United States, I'd like to see a little setting time of the cake. You know, you take the cake out of the oven. Maybe let it set a little bit before you eat it. And it's like, okay, like, this is a guy who argued for decades, by the way. And we have, you know, the one clip is in the trailer of him basically calling you a traitor for not having the same view as on global warming. But that went on for decades after that clip where he was saying people like the Koch brothers
Starting point is 00:29:33 should be put, they should go to the Hague. These are his quotes. Now, I am not completely stunned that after COVID and he went through a lot of of all of a sudden his views were out of line with what everyone liked, and all of a sudden he was feeling those pressures. I'm not surprised that would change his perspective. However, I'm a little skeptical of a person who believed that for that long of a time and only change his mind because it hurt him.
Starting point is 00:30:01 That's not the type of principle I want in a leader of the country. Is he defending American values, or is he defending, wow, this thing happened to me, and now I realize it's real? He said, and you'll hear it, and you can believe it or not, by listening to him. You know, he said that it was not that it happened to him. It was that he did not expect the American people nor the government to actually do things like that. You mean the things that he was advocating for from multiple decades? Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:33 So basically he claimed it was hyperbolic. And it probably was. Like, I don't know. I mean, we all, I mean, you know, when you just said, I want to go gunning for him. Yeah. You know, and I don't mean it that way. We would have never said that 20 years ago, 15 years ago. We all would have known.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Yeah. We still do. But like that's not. I know. That was not what he was doing. I'm sorry. That was not a joke based on a terrible incident in the Kennedy family history. You're going to have to decide for yourself.
Starting point is 00:31:04 He was advocating for a policy and did it for a long time in a lot of detail over multiple decades. That's like you being like, you know, I just don't like. capitalism anymore because that thing that happened last week makes me president. Like what? What? No. How about the, you know what? You set for the, you meridate in that opinion and wait for it to challenge you again.
Starting point is 00:31:27 And let's see how hard you hold that line. Well, I'd be concerned. Like, this is outside of, of, of who he is as a person and the things that I don't like about him. But it's like, anybody, I think that, that is a rational request. Like, if, if a massive change in all of your opinion. happened within the last presidential cycle. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Maybe wait one more presidential cycle before you're the president. I don't know. That's a crazy line for me. Well, he's going to. At least one is probably many, many, many more. He's not going to win. He's not going to win. It's a frustrating thing.
Starting point is 00:32:01 No, but you know, he could. He could affect Joe Biden. Yeah. Well, but he was talking, you know, to Republicans. I know. I mean, he claims he was offered the VP job under Trump. Yeah. I don't know if I believe that.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Yeah. He claims that that happened. I actually walked away liking him thinking he's a very, he's, when it comes to foreign policy, he's much smarter than I thought. We agreed on a lot of things. If you trust, I thought there were things that, you know, kind of overlapped that, and I ended up liking him, but I don't trust him. And that just comes, I think, from time, like you were saying, you know, I have no idea if that's real or not.
Starting point is 00:32:54 I have no idea. And in today's world, I'm not willing to roll the dice. We're already rolling the dice with every candidate. Why roll the dice with this one? We know what Biden is going to do. He's proven it to us. We know what Donald Trump is going. going to do. He's proven it to us. I'd rather not try this one out on the, on the, you know, on the Daytona 500. Plus, you know, let's have them run a few laps elsewhere. On the things on which we disagree, we disagree vehemently like climate change. Oh, yeah. Like abortion. I mean, those are sorry. Kind of two big ones, right? Like, really big ones. Climate change is the control basically the entire economy. Yeah. So that's a big one to disagree with somebody. Abortion, they're
Starting point is 00:33:42 or children that will either live or die? Right. That's kind of a big issue for me. I don't know if you've heard, but in Arizona, the Republicans just can't get their act together. I have heard that. I heard this this morning on a podcast and they were like, oh, well, the Republicans couldn't get their act together
Starting point is 00:33:58 to overturn this law. It's like, well, maybe the act they want to get together is not killing children. Maybe that's the act they're trying to accomplish. Well, that came from 1864, though. And anything that comes from 1864 is bad. Really, like laws like, bad. That are not, you know, if you're not,
Starting point is 00:34:12 You know, if you go back, there were laws against murder in 1864. That's a bad law. So we should all the laws now from 1864, we're just going to get rid of and see if we can repass. Is that what we're doing now? It's assonine. It's assonine. This is the law that was on the books.
Starting point is 00:34:25 And like, you guys could have passed a law that killed all the children you want law. That could have happened. The entire time Roe versus Wade was in, you didn't do it. So you have the law that's on the books. That's the way that this works. It's just incredibly frustrating. And like, they just will get to this point where, I mean, we saw this with Bill Mar. Did you see this Bill Mar clip this week where he was talking about abortion?
Starting point is 00:34:49 Do we have this? Okay. Yeah. Play the Bill Mark clip. The idea that you're fighting an election around this issue seems to be, you know, just strange. Back the 19th century. That's weird. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:35:07 None of you believe it's murder. Thank you. You know, that's why I don't understand the 15-week thing. Or the Trump's plan is, let's leave it to the states. You mean, so killing babies is okay in some states? I couldn't respect the absolute position. I really can't. I scold the left when they say, oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:35:27 They just hate women. People who aren't pro-life, pro-choice, they don't hate women. They just made that up. They think it's murder. And it kind of is. I'm just okay with that. I am. I mean, there's 8 billion people in the world.
Starting point is 00:35:44 I'm sorry, we won't miss you. That's my position on the. Wow. Even chilling to his audience. Yeah, exactly. Is that not your position if you're pro-choice? Isn't that mainly because you don't like children? I mean, no, no.
Starting point is 00:35:58 But if you are, you said you're pro-choice. That's your position, too. And he, by the way, nods to that, peers more. He nods to that, yes, that is my position. That's just admitting it's saying the quiet part out loud, right? Right. I'm okay with murder. I'm okay with killing babies. I think it's fascinating because comedians,
Starting point is 00:36:13 like their job is obviously to exaggerate and be funny. And that wasn't really even trying to be funny. No, not at all. Comedians do this often where they cut, the other part of their job is cutting through all the crap, right? Like pro choice. What does that actually mean? And he's not the only comedian who's been doing this.
Starting point is 00:36:30 So hang on just a sec. We'll come back to this in just a second. First, American financing.

Starting point is 00:39:39 So we were talking about how things are changing and comedians are starting to, especially when it comes to abortion, speak out. Bill Maher, we just heard said, yeah, well, killing a baby and I'm okay with that. They're just admitting what's actually true. Correct. They all know is true. Correct.
Starting point is 00:39:56 It's just comedians are the only one saying. And here's another example. This is Bill Burr. Pro choice always made sense to me because I don't like people telling me what to do. And I always just like, it's your body. Who the fuck am I to tell you what to do with your body? So that always made sense. All right?
Starting point is 00:40:12 However, I still think you're killing a baby. See? That's where it gets weird. It's not a baby yet. they say which may or may not be true i don't know i'm not a doctor but i'll tell you my gut tells me that doesn't make sense it's not a baby that would be like if i was making a cake and i poured some batter in a pan and i put it in the oven and then five minutes later you came by and you grab the pan and you threw it across the floor now what the f*** just ruined my birthday
Starting point is 00:40:42 cake and then you were like well that wasn't a cake here It's incredible. And then also, Lucy Kay did something on this as well. I don't think it's killing a baby. I don't. I mean, it is, it's a little bit, it's a little bit killing a baby. It's a little bit. It's 100% killing a baby.
Starting point is 00:41:16 It is totally killing a whole baby. but I think that women should be allowed to kill babies I just think it has to be one of the other you know like when people say abortion should be legal safe and rare why rare if it should be legal if it should be legal it's it's sh-h if it should be rare it's murdering baby
Starting point is 00:41:47 yeah uh-huh I mean, look at the, we are just at this miraculous crossroads right now where who's going to get across the street to the finish line first, this dystopian mass control kind of thing that changes absolutely everything. Or people opening up their eyes and going, wait a minute, wait a minute, we got to talk the truth to each other here for a while. The Glenn Beck program.

Starting point is 00:44:59 I want to talk to you about Iran. Iran is, I believe, the head of the snake in so many ways. They will be the source of the next Holocaust, God forbid, if it would happen. But it's not the Iranian people. It is the Iranian government that are, they're a horror show. They're an absolute horror show. Everybody's trying to pressure Israel to not bomb their. them, not go to war. I don't know what the right thing is. Personally, for me, I don't want all the
Starting point is 00:45:38 trouble that's going to come with war with Israel in Iran, because we're going to get it here as well. But we're going to get it anyway. So what is the right thing to do? I know the right thing is not to send them another palette of cash, but what should we be doing? We have an American foreign Policy Council Senior Fellow and she was the former Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs under Donald Trump. She knows the region really, really well and can maybe help navigate with what's coming, what are they thinking, and what should we be thinking? We do that in 60 seconds. Stand by.

You know, have a carrot, man. Maybe that's why your eyes aren't so good. You know, you're better at seeing things in the dark than I am. Kibble food is dead food. It has to be sterilized, cooked out, everything that was alive,
Starting point is 00:46:54 all the nutrition is just baked right out of it, and then they spray flavor on it. Mmm, here have a handful of gravel that tastes like liver. Sounds good, right? Well, you can put all the nutrients back into your dog's kibble food by sprinkling something called rough greens on top. You put it on the dog's food.

And, and, Mara, I've been following you. We've been looking at what should we be doing with Iran. I feel like we have, we've passed so many exits and our government is only making things worse by cozying up to them, what should be
Starting point is 00:48:05 happening? What should we be looking for and what should we be hoping for? Hi, Glenn, it's a pleasure to be with you. And you're totally correct. You're absolutely correct. So what's happened now, all of the trouble that's happening in the region is a direct result of the head of the snake, as you very correctly said, which is Iran, right? So this is happening because the Iranian regime is not only deeply unpopular with their own population, they need to externalize conflict in order to stay in power. People that are familiar with the policy of President Trump know that his policy was exactly, exactly the worst nightmare for the regime because he was using maximum pressure to cripple the regime by robbing them of the funds they use to spread
Starting point is 00:48:47 terror at home and abroad, right? So this regime, when you understand the history of it, that it came into power in a whirlwind in 1979. It's based on terror. and it's based on ruling through fear. And they had to externalize conflict in order to keep hold. So we would be remiss not to be students of history and actually understand that for this regime to maintain power, they have to externalize conflict and they have to create manufactured crisis for people to rally around the flag. It is a false enemy. The highest population of Jewish people outside of Israel in the Middle East are in Iran.
Starting point is 00:49:19 There is no natural animosity between the Iranian people and the Israeli people or Jews in general. is a manufactured crisis by the Islamic regime and power in Iran, and it's one of many that they need to try to distract and keep hold of power. You know, it's one of the only countries that I look at a lot like we should have looked at Russia when it was the Soviet Union, that the people were not the government at all. And in fact, I think the United States, it's starting to be like that way now, that our government is doing things overseas and, you know, fighting wars and, and, and, and, and, and, forcing people to live under our, you know, our quote values all over the world.
Starting point is 00:50:02 And we're getting a bad name around the world. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no. But that's not us. That's the government. Same there. And exactly the same as it was in the Soviet Union. And that's different than most places. That's different than, for instance, in Gaza, where most of the people are, you know, they really do believe that, you know, the Israelis,
Starting point is 00:50:26 need to be killed in America is the great Satan, et cetera, et cetera. So in Iran, the population is vastly pro-American, right? So you have a very pro-American population. And if you recall, prior to 1979, things like the hijab or the mandatory hair scarf were not around. So you have a population or, you know, an age group that's my age or younger that remembers, hey, their moms didn't have to do this. You know, their ancestors didn't have to do this.
Starting point is 00:50:54 This is manufactured restrictions from this regime. Because you have a very pro-Western, pro-American population. When the regime, you know, paints the American flag or the Israeli flag on the ground, the population will walk around it. This is a population that under President Trump, you know, was chanting his name and people wrote Trump 2020 on IRGC basis. This is a very brave population that is very pro-American that believes in the values of America, believes in the dream of America, and, you know, wants to emulate that. it's their regime that's counter to it.
Starting point is 00:51:25 So if we don't understand that and we don't capitalize that as Americans, we're remiss and we're going to keep making the same mistakes. Why are we funding an anti-American regime through non-enforcement of sanctions, through, you know, these horrible hostage deals that you're just promoting the more taking of hostages, and then wondering why the policy is a failure. You know, had a working policy under President Trump, and Joe Biden completely reverse that policy back to a failed Obama-era JCPOA impeachment statute. and then we're wondering why it's not working.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Well, let's have some strategic smart policy. You support the will of the people and you put maximum pressure on the regime. Support the people that love you and you put pressure on the people that hate you. Okay, so what should, because I look at Israel and their response, which they say is coming, but probably, you know, after Passover, I look at this and I think to myself, as an American, oh, no, please, I don't want another thing on fire, but it's already on. fire. But if I were as an Israeli, I would be saying, hit them right now. Hit them. What should they do if you're from the Israeli perspective? What should they do? Yeah. So from the Israeli perspective,
Starting point is 00:52:40 they're between Iraq and a hard place, right? It's impossible to fight on every single front. And of course, you know, when you're attacked, any country has the right to have a response. My point is be strategic, because you cannot get into a war with Iran. expect a good result. And you don't even want to do that, not just because the U.S. you know, is under a certain type of leadership that is probably not going to, you know, help you out to the degree that you'd want to be helped out. But even beyond that, accepting the reality of the situation is, why would you want to make an enemy of the Iranian people who are on your side and re-solidify the regime, right? The regime, when it came into power
Starting point is 00:53:16 in 79, was very unstable. It was the Iran-Iraq war and Saddam's invasion that allowed them to have people rally around the flag and solidify themselves through a power grab. Why would you repeat that mistake? If you want the end result of a peaceful, stable, democratic potential ally in an Iran that you can get along with, well, great, let's take steps to make that happen. You know, dropping bobs and an all at war on a population in Iran is not the way to do it. But wait, wait, wait, wait, I don't think that's what they would even consider. I hope not. But I do think they would target strategic places that would hurt the administration and hurt their ability to build bombs. Right. I think a strategic response is totally within their calculus to decide on what they want to do and not do.
Starting point is 00:54:06 From my perspective, I think the less casualty or loss you have to innocent civilian lives, the better position you are. Because the more that happens, as they've seen, the more of a PR nightmare it is for them and more of a nightmare it is on an international scale. So they've got to be strategic. They've got to be very, very careful about how they respond. But of course, everybody's entitled to respond whenever they're attacked. So what are your thoughts about the long arm of Iran? I mean, we're seeing people now on the streets, you know, death to America, death to Israel. We're seeing things that we've not seen in our own streets.
Starting point is 00:54:42 And we're seeing a lot of it. And I got to believe that when they're ready, they'll put. pull the trigger when they feel it's the right time. They'll pull the trigger and we'll have really not good things happening here. Again, another Joe Biden policy failure, right, with his border crisis. So this is the absurdity of Joe Biden's administration and, you know, the failure of reversal of Trump's policies that we're working. So this is a direct result of allowing an open border crisis and allowing anybody to come in without any vetting. I mean, I'm the child of immigrants, right? There's nobody, I think, that thinks that there shouldn't be any immigrants allowed in the United States, but you have to know who's coming in, what their intentions are.
Starting point is 00:55:25 You have to have proper vetting, and you can't allow this type of infiltration of our country of nefarious actors, because the regime does have a long arm, and they are sending people in. And, you know, it's been publicized in the press when I worked in the prior administration. They were trying to target administration officials back under President Trump, let alone what they're trying to do now. So, you know, there's former officials I work with that have, you know, pretty heavy. full-time security. There's journalists that work for, you know, VOA and other stations that had pretty serious attempts on their life. So it's not a joke. And, you know, allowing this sort of open loophole to come in through, you know, any border, any entry, no questions asked, is going to be exploited by, exploited by nefarious actors like the regime. And it's a crisis waiting to happen.
Starting point is 00:56:11 So do the, does anybody in the State Department ever take the leaderships, a view of, you know, end of days and the 12th, the mom and all of this crap, you know, they'll look at somebody who is, you know, saying a prayer, you know, someplace in America, in a Christian church, and they'll be like, that's a religious zeal. They're going to tear the country apart. And then they'll dismiss these people who say, in speeches, oh, Allah, you know, give me the strength to hasten the return of the promised one, which is, really terrifying. Does anybody, do they take this? There's a big of cognitive dissonance here.
Starting point is 00:56:56 And it's, you know, when you have discussions with people that, you know, might be working in departments and have a different point of view, there is a tendency to sort of say, oh, well, that's not what they mean or that's hyperbole. Or, you know, they don't really mean death to America when they say it. Yeah, they do. It's the sort of waving off that is just an unsurious position to take. And there's, I mean, it's not a secret that there's a lot of. Iranian regime, pro-regime lobbyists in this country who purposely push this narrative and purposely provide false information to try to sort of wave off the crazy statements that are made and the really damaging statements that are made and sort of say, oh, that's just hyperbole. That's just, you know,
Starting point is 00:57:35 lost in translation. But it's really not. You know, I mean, the actions speak louder than words. And when they actions follow those words, you have to take them seriously. You can't just say, oh, it's a fluke a hundred times over. No, they mean what they say. It's really, uh, terrifying when you you look at the history of Hamas and the the grand mufti, you know, from the 1920s and 30s that was a huge Hitler supporter. And what those seeds that were planted. And then in the new Islamic Republic, the leadership there, they mean it when they say, you know, we'll kill the Jews and, you know, Israel will burn in the, uh, the flames of the Islamic
Starting point is 00:58:18 Fury, they mean that. They mean that. Do they are? I think they, I think that the regime knows exactly what they're doing to rattle everyone around them. And I think if given an opportunity to externalize a conflict, they'll do it, right? So these are, these are not irrational actors. These are rational actors who have a strategic point of view and believe what they believe. They use the foundations of, you know, whatever faith or political realities are necessary to achieve a political end, right? So these people are not, you know, saying things that they don't mean. They mean them and they want to be strategic to maintain control of power and maintain control of a population that is not supported by them, right? They're deeply, deeply unpopular with their own population,
Starting point is 00:59:07 let alone externally, but they have to create a boogeyman. They have to create this externalized conflict to sort of distract from the plethora of problems they have at home. So, you know, you've got to take them to a certain degree at face value, but also understand that there are political and strategic and real goals at the end of, you know, the pretty crazy statements. You know, there's, there doesn't seem to be any love of the Palestinian movement from the neighbors of Israel. They, they close their borders. They don't want them. And it seems to be the same thing with the administration of Iran. But the, you know, middle, Eastern countries, I think, like the conflict with the Palestinians. I don't know what it serves,
Starting point is 00:59:54 but they seem to like it. And they don't like Iran, but they seem to pussyfoot around. All of the advances that Trump made in pulling that coalition together, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and really building a coalition with Israel to stand against Iran, have we just blubing. own that? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I can give you a nicer answer, but I mean, in a lot of ways, there's been a lot of damage done to a lot of the coalition building. I mean, the Abraham Accords were wildly successful.
Starting point is 01:00:29 That was a great President Trump initiative. And frankly, I mean, talk about the Nobel Peace Prizes in some years that have been handed out willy-nilly. President Trump should have gotten a Nobel Peace Prize for that, right? So that was ground baking for Middle East peace is to have the Abraham Accords. And frankly, we're sitting in a position now where a lot of that work has been unwound. has been backtracked. And again, the United States needs to be a stable, reliable ally and a stable, reliable foe, an adversary for those that challenge us. You can't have this flip-flop of foreign
Starting point is 01:00:59 policy from administration to administration and expect to have the credibility that we want to did in the world, right? So there has to be, you know, some sort of adults in the room, which, you know, the Biden administration claimed to be, but clearly are not. And, you know, understanding that, hey, maybe we have policy differences with our predecessors. but these policies worked and these policies were strategic and effective. And perhaps we shouldn't unwind them just for the sake of, you know, pacifying a base in the U.S. and saying we undid everything he did, you know, have some clear eyes and say that, hey, to Abraham Accords were a good thing.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Stability in the Middle East and no new wars was a good thing. So let's keep that going. Thank you so much for all that you do and making the Middle East a little easier to understand. More I appreciate it. God bless. Happy to do. You bet. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:01:46 God bless.

Starting point is 01:04:00 sick twisted freak print. By the way, have you seen the fly your freak flag? That's also available there. Nice. Yeah, that's a good stuff available at the, what is it, a site that you'd go to to? Glenbeckmerch.com. Thank you. Glenbeckmerch.com.
Starting point is 01:04:14 So, and we, we have extended size ranges from two X's through 6xL. Wow. Yeah. So you've got half the audience covered down. Yes. Yes. And half of me. Half of you. Quite honestly.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Yeah. By the way, we have a new shirt too, a stew does merch.com, which it looks like, kind of from a distance, it looks like a Biden campaign shirt. So like one of your friends is a liberal going to see that and be like,
Starting point is 01:04:37 oh, wow, he's a Biden supporter. I got to go talk to him about that. And as you get closer, the picture kind of looks a little distorted. And then it just says Joe Biden, elderly man with a poor memory under it. Not exactly his campaign slogan, but I think the slogan that defines the election.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Sounds good. who he is. Yeah. Does anyone, does anyone remember this? I kind of like the slogan. He's still refusing to take it from me. A vote for me is a vote for World War III.
Starting point is 01:05:06 I know. I know. Why hasn't he? I don't know. I don't know. Look to all the movies they made out of World War II. Imagine how many they get out of World War III. And it kind of rhymes to a little bit. I mean, you know, I can come up with vote for me.
Starting point is 01:05:17 World War III. Vote for me for poverty. You know, we can make a song out of it. But he won't go for it. It won't go for it. Really? Yeah, I think he's allergic to the truth. Some people just can't take, you know, they just can't take a nice gift from someone who cares.
Starting point is 01:05:31 No, no. And, you know, I know he's all broken up because I think his father was eaten by cannibals, or was it his grandfather that was eaten by cannibals? I think it was uncle. His uncle was eaten by cannibal. Not actually true. No, no, but he said it. I want you to imagine a nice, fun-filled vacation to Costa Rica with a family.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Nothing too extravagant, just five days, a week maybe. You're not staying at the fanciest of resorts, but it's pretty great. beaches are great, food is great, all the fun tourist stuff is great, family's having a great time. Now, snap your fingers. Sorry, all of that vacation money is gone because you had to use it for the major car repair, because your warranty on your car is expired. For almost two decades now, Car Shield has been helping millions of drivers avoid the stress of major repairs and keep their vacation.

What does it mean when you have kind of an oily kind of pink fluid that's not, you know, coming from the radiator? And it might come from your transmission. That's bad, right? That's not good. No. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:07:34 He's one of us now. RFK called for my execution. Well, I called you a traitor. The next time you see Glenn Beck lying to the American. public. I respect him as a man. I am not looking to sabotage him. I don't want him to be president, but that's not my decision. That's your decision. Robert, welcome to the program. Thanks for having me. Today, uh, today, uh, 9 p.m. Eastern. I, uh, am interviewing RFK, uh, and it is available at Blaze TV and then it will be available for the podcast everywhere you can get your
Starting point is 01:08:18 podcast on Saturday. It was a, it's been a, it's, it's been a weird week, quite honestly, it's been a weird, really weird week. I did that interview coming, just coming off of anesthesia, because I had to have a procedure done on my back. And so I, you know, it may have been a little loopy. Your history. doing interviews when you're impaired in some way is not necessarily good.
Starting point is 01:08:49 I do remember you going on the view once when you were really, really sick. Yes. Do you remember this? Yeah, it didn't go well. Did this go better than the view? No. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Okay, that's good. That's possible. Well, I mean, could it have gone worse on the view? No, no. And, but I, you know, I asked him, you know, the questions that I tried to find out who he really was. Yeah. That's what you should do.
Starting point is 01:09:14 I mean, I get irritated by him and want you to just go after him. But that's how you should handle the interview. You shouldn't listen to my advice. I made a promise that I would do interviews with everybody who is running for president. The only one I haven't had in the official series is Donald Trump. But we've had, you know, I've done several interviews with Donald Trump. Did you do a Biden? No, no, Joe Biden.
Starting point is 01:09:39 I think you should invite. I think it's, doors open, right? When you'd have a lot. Doors open. And I would. Love to have him on. I would treat him well. I mean, I would, I do not invite people into my house and then pee all over him.
Starting point is 01:09:52 No. You've had that policy for a very long time. Yeah. It's not right. It's not right. You know, I, and I, I am not the decision maker here. I will ask the questions and then you have to answer and then let the people decide. So, you know, I learned some things about.
Starting point is 01:10:12 RFK and not necessarily in the way or what I, I don't know, it's just not what I expected, not what I expected. Haven't changed my mind, you know, on voting for him on president. And I think, so are you going to vote for him? No, no, I'm not. No, I'm not. No, I'm not. But, you know, I had a very pleasant conversation with him.
Starting point is 01:10:36 And, you know, he claims that he is a different man. And that's great. Yeah. I really do hope he's changed from what he was. I do too. I mean, because what he was was not great. Yeah. But I still, when you're talking about electing the president of the United States, you'd like to be more certain. Yes.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Yes. About who a person is. Right. But I mean, but look at, I always cheer on a conversion story when you're converting to the right side. And some of the, and again, he's, he is not converted on the environment, as he pointed out to you, which is really outside of wishing for the death of the guy I work with every day. That was one of my biggest problem. problems with him. Really, you had a problem with that? Because don't you kind of lean that direction? I wanted to be the one who did it. I want to be the one who commits the murder.
Starting point is 01:11:19 No, I think the global warming stuff is so, so bonkers from him, so over the top that it just says he's changed. He said he's still global warming central. Right. He's still environmental. But he doesn't want people to be killed before opposing it. He's reversed himself on the censorship aspect. In other words, people. his previous belief was people who support global warming skepticism should be treated as traders. He's talked about putting them in front of the Hague many times. You know, he, and again, again, there's other stuff that was concerning to me, like his lengthy support for Hugo Chavez and things like that.
Starting point is 01:12:03 But though some of those seem to have changed. Like he's not changed his position that. on the policies surrounding global warming, he's just saying he shouldn't put the opponents of those policies in prison. And that's a good change. Yes. That is a good, very minor change.
Starting point is 01:12:21 That will not exactly get me over the hump to support his candidacy. But as you point out, you can have a good conversation with him, and you are, you've done this with many people that you disagree with. And that's a good part of the podcast. It's one of the reasons that podcast works well.
Starting point is 01:12:36 Like, because not everybody is a hardcore conservative that comes on here or that agrees with you. That agrees with you on everything. I would love to have a conversation with Bill Maher now. Okay. Bill Maher is, he has changed and he's, and maybe not. He may not have changed any of positions, but I think he takes it more seriously and he's not going for Clappter. He's, he, I think he's had a change in, you know, things are getting really serious here and we have to have honest conversations.
Starting point is 01:13:10 And for the first time, you know, I look at Bill Maher. Can we play that clip we played last hour? The abortion one? Yeah. Listen to this, Bill Maher, just recently. The idea that you're fighting an election around this issue seems to be, you know, just strange. Yeah, really weird. Back the 19th century.
Starting point is 01:13:30 Well, clap, clap, clap. None of you believe it's murder. Thank you. You know, that's why I don't understand the 15-week thing. Nobody laughs. Or the Trump's plan is, let's leave it to the states. You mean, so killing babies is okay in some states? I can respect the absolutist position.
Starting point is 01:13:50 I really can. I scold the left when they say, oh, you know what? They just hate women. People who aren't pro-life, pro-choice, they don't hate women. They just made that up. They think it's murder. And it kind of is. I'm just okay with that.
Starting point is 01:14:08 I am. I mean, there's 8 billion people in the world. I'm sorry, we won't miss you. That's my position on the... It's quite a harsh, Bill. Yeah, exactly. Is that not your position if you're pro-choice? Isn't that mainly because you don't like children?
Starting point is 01:14:23 I mean... No, no. I mean, but if you are, you said you're pro-choice, that's your position too. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's totally true. And by the way, I completely agree with him on his point on the absoluteest positions
Starting point is 01:14:38 of the only one that makes sense. It is. It doesn't make any sense to ban it in 18 weeks and be like, okay, I guess we did it. We banned 1.6% of abortions. I think now our hands are clean. Like, none of that makes any sense to me. But that's a whole other story. So the reason why I bring this up is for the first time, I think I'm getting to where Ronald Reagan was with Tip O'Neill.
Starting point is 01:15:01 You know, the old story is, well, they could just hash it out and just really come at each other and then go have a beer. Well, I don't want to have a beer with AOC or, you know, Joe Biden or... That would be the weirdest bar in the world. And I would need... You think the Star Wars Cantina was weird? Imagine you walk into a bar and just Glenn back at AOC and just throwing them back. Yeah. And believe me, if I were in the bar with AOC, I would not be starting with beer.
Starting point is 01:15:36 Bring the jack. Leave the bottle here. So anyway, you know, but I, but that's because they're not honest. They're fake, yeah. Yeah. He's at least saying the truth. He's saying, look, I don't have a problem with it. It is murder.
Starting point is 01:15:55 It is killing babies. But I don't have a problem with that. And nobody likes that point of view. But at least he's being honest. At least he's being honest. You know, and he's, you can disagree with him. All you want. But as long as somebody is honest on the other side of the table, I can get along with them forever.
Starting point is 01:16:16 It's my problem is the progressives, because it's built in their name, progress, a little bit at a time. And they will deny their end goal. And because they deny their end goal, you can't talk to them. You have nothing serious, nothing serious. The female voice that starts. that clip is a great example of it. Like, I don't understand why they'd want to fight an election on this issue. It's just strange.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Is it strange the ending of life of children? Is that like a weird thing for you to think about during the election? I mean, I kind of find it weird that fighting for the right to end the lives of children is something you want to fight the entire election on. But that's what they're doing. But that's why they used to say safe, rare and legal. And then they said screw rare. Right. because they used to, they were more honest.
Starting point is 01:17:09 Look, it's bad. It's really bad. We think it's the best of two horrible choices. Correct. Like, that's a bad position and wrong to me. Now they're saying it's a great choice. In fact, maybe the choice more people should make. And in some ways, that's more intellectually defensible than the other position.
Starting point is 01:17:27 You know, it's like, if you're going to be Bill Maher and say, yeah, killing people's fine, at least that's consistent. It doesn't make any sense to say, I. think killing people is wrong, but also women's rights are the way I'm going to make this decision on this. No, but see, that's the way to win, though. Right. That is the way to win. It's not honest.
Starting point is 01:17:46 It's not honest, but it is the way to win. And frankly, it's the same thing that's going on with the Republicans right now. Like, the, like, I don't, like, the idea of having some sort of ban that's, that takes out one or two percent of abortions, like, it's great to put a ceiling on it. Every baby that can actually be born instead of dying is something that I'm going to, be happy about. But like at the end of the day, these decisions are being made because people want to win elections, which is a concern, right? Like, it's a legitimate concern. I know a lot of people who believe, like, you got to stay away from the abortion thing because it's just,
Starting point is 01:18:20 it's an election killer. Maybe it is. But like, at some point, you have to think, like, this is a very basic life and death issue. At some point, you just need to be able to say, Hey, like, I'm not going to fold on that issue. Like, I don't understand why. Every single, every single Congress, there is not a Republican proposing a constitutional amendment to ban abortion. Not, what if we take three days off the end and make it a 22 week and four day ban? Or whatever they're proposing. Like, how is there not, at least.
Starting point is 01:19:01 You know, it may never pass. Oh, there should be. It should be proposed every single Congress and should have at least a vote every single Congress. It's that serious of an issue. John Quincy Adams. He went back to Congress to stop slavery. He was the president.
Starting point is 01:19:17 And he went back to Congress to sit as a congressman and having to get votes every two years. And he sat there just to propose an end to all slavery. Yeah. And he did it over and over and over again. wasn't popular. You know, and he realized at the end, you can't make, you're going to have to have to have a war over this because there is no progress. Nobody's making progress on this. They're all just talking a good game. And it was an issue that was so important that that was a,
Starting point is 01:19:49 and you couldn't get people to talk about it for the same reason. Nobody wants to think about this. Nobody wants to think about it. It's true. It is the slavery issue of our day. And you know what? No one does want to think about it because it's difficult issues you're talking about it's got everything to do from sex all the way to like these all the possible decisions and and and when democrats have to think about what it really is they have to face a lot of uncomfortable truths about their position and what are the republicans doing right now well what we should do is make sure no one can think about it because what if we lose this election and i lose my seat like the the republican response is to take the responsibility away from people on the left who are advocating for this policy and hopefully
Starting point is 01:20:33 making them never have to think about it again. How does that change long term? Yeah, I got it. Maybe it gets you an extra couple hundred votes in your district. But how does that change things long term? How does this end in children not dying? Can you explain that? Doesn't seem to be even part of the plan for a lot of these people.
Starting point is 01:20:54 It is the progressive way. That is the problem. Republicans are progressives as well. Isn't it funny? The more this country goes into debt. Oh, sorry. Yeah, the less money they have to spend on GenuSel. That's what I've been saying for months, Scott.

We're glad you're here. there's a couple of things going on in case you missed last night show it was all on the medical industry some information shared last night that you're just not going to get any place else and it is one of my top concerns that we have not addressed very much on this program and next week this election is so incredibly serious and voter confidence is at a dangerous low One ABC poll revealed that only 20% of Americans trust the voting system, 20%. Next Wednesday night, I hope, it is in the hands of the attorneys right now, I hope to be showing you why people have lost faith in our elections. Things that happened in 2020 are now being pursued at the federal level. I'll show you what's going on, but that something came out, I got a tip from somebody,
Starting point is 01:24:13 and they said, Glenn, nobody's paying attention to this. Look at what just happened at the Supreme Court, what was revealed in the Supreme Court. We're going to show that to you and ask you to rationally spread the word out so this problem can be fixed. We'll give you more details next weekend, 90-minute version Wednesday night special next week. Let me tell you about Home Title Lock. Do you know about house stealing? Have you heard of this?

Starting point is 01:27:27 welcome to the Glenn Beck program we're glad you're here we're getting ready for Passover
Starting point is 01:27:33 we had a conversation yesterday about the red heifers and the red hefers that are being sent from or
Starting point is 01:27:42 have already been sent from America to Israel this is something Old Testament the 10th
Starting point is 01:27:50 red heifer you know if it's all done right, et cetera, et cetera. We don't really know how, you know, it's up to God on whether it's the 10th Red Heifer, but it is supposed to issue in the Messiah's return, the Messianic period. The people in Hamas, the people who are Muslim, they know all about the Red Heifer. It is supposed to be done here in the next few days, but there have been threats of this happening before. They've built the offer, the altar, and the ramp, but will it be used? What does it mean?
Starting point is 01:28:28 But we addressed that yesterday. Today, I want to talk to a little bit about the things that still have to happen for end times. And I'm very curious, because I didn't even think of this. As we've been talking about the red heifer, people say, well, that will usher in the new temple that has to be built for the end times, but to build the temple, you need the return of the Ark of the Covenant. Well, the people who are building everything for the temple say they know exactly where the Ark of the Covenant is. You know, you think of the Ark of the Covenant, it's almost like a, you know, Indiana Jones movie and it's not even real. It doesn't even really exist. Does it, does somebody really know where it is?
Starting point is 01:29:17 and how would you even verify? I mean, it's just such a strange concept. We're going to talk about that coming up in just a second. First, it feels good to give to a charitable cause. I know it, you know it. There's something inside of you that lights up when you've done something good or you've given donation to something
Starting point is 01:29:38 that will feed someone that you can actually see who's hungry, give them shelter from the cold. But when you can actually save a life, there is no better feeling. Everything that enters your mind when you hear the words plan parenthood, I want you to know pre-born is the exact opposite of that. They offer free ultrasounds
Starting point is 01:29:59 and in cases where the mom is thinking about abortion because she feels completely alone, it's life-saving care, not only for the baby, but for mom. They offer her two years of postnatal assistance. two years after that baby is born. Last year, they saved over 58,000 children. Each of these babies is truly a miracle,
Starting point is 01:30:25 and every day preborn celebrates 200 miracles. $28 a month can be the difference between the life and death of a child, and when a mom meets her baby on ultrasound and hears the heartbeat, there is a connection that doubles the baby's chance at life. Join together with me and with preborn to help mothers choose life. Just dial pound 250, say the key. keyword baby, that's pound 250 keyword baby, or visit preborn.com slash Beck. That's preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by preborn. Let me say hello to Stu again, our executive producer,
Starting point is 01:31:01 who is joining us today. It's going to be a kind of a weird day. We'll talk about that coming up in a little while. Yeah, tomorrow's going to be an adventure, boys and girls. It is, and we'll tell you about that coming up. We have Bill Cloud back on. He is the founder of Jacobs Tent's Fellowship, also Shoresham Ministries. And he's probably, he's taught biblical prophecy for a long time. And what I like about him, he's not like, we're all going to die. It's coming tomorrow. He takes a very tempered look at everything and just can give you the facts that we know,
Starting point is 01:31:39 but we don't know if those are the facts that, you know, God was telling us to look for. Is that a good explanation, Bill? Well, I do try to be tempered. I mean, I try to keep all of my theology in this solar system. So, you know, so I try to be that way. Okay. And, you know.
Starting point is 01:32:00 And you said yesterday that sometimes, you know, what we think is going, we're looking for, is not necessarily going to happen the way we think it's going to happen. Can you give me an example of that? Well, yeah, in Matthew chapter 17, and Psy goes up to the top of the mountain, Peter, James, and John. He's transfigured. His face is shining like the light.
Starting point is 01:32:23 The disciples see this, and they're coming back down the mountain, and they're puzzled because they ask them, hey, we thought that, well, the prophecy teachers of the day told us that Elijah would come first. But you're already here. You're obviously the Messiah. So how come Elijah didn't come first? And he said, well, Elijah did. You just missed it because you were looking for that Elijah, but you missed the whole message
Starting point is 01:32:44 that John the Baptist was giving in the spirit and the power of Elijah. So that's a very quick example of we can be looking for this. It's got to look like that. It's got to be in this size and everything else. And the whole time God's doing exactly what he would said, just not in the way that we were looking for. So, as I said yesterday, it's very important that as we read these prophecies, you know, we interpret them, we think they're going to happen this way based on what we see going on in the world today. But sometimes, and maybe even a lot of times, it doesn't happen the way we think. It just happens exactly the way God said, and it's usually after it's happened that we can look and say, oh, okay, yeah, I see it now.
Starting point is 01:33:26 So that's an example, and that is very important, I believe, in going forward. And, you know, when we see all these things happening in the world. So I often have thought if you were alive during Hitler's reign, especially if you were, you know, had a front row seat to it, you had to have thought Jesus is coming soon. But there were a lot of things that had not been accomplished. For instance, the reestablishment of Israel and then the gathering of Israel. And so, you know, if you knew your scriptures, you would go, well, no, I don't think so, but it could happen quickly. But now a lot of really big things have happened. What big prophecies have been fulfilled and what is still out there that we should be watching for?
Starting point is 01:34:16 Well, you mentioned the reestablishment of the nation of Israel in 48, the capturing of the old city and the reunification of Jerusalem in 67, which at that point gave Jews access to the Temple Mount, although temporarily. So the regathering of Israel is a big one, and I might say that that one is still ongoing. Yes. And it has not yet come to its ultimate fruition. And what does it mean the gathering of or re-gathering of his? Israel. What does that mean exactly? Well, very long story short, because of transgression, because of rebellion, because of all these different sins, Israel was exiled. And to this day, a lot of Israel is still scattered through the nations. And so there are these multiple prophecies of how in the
Starting point is 01:35:05 last days God will gather all of Israel into the land to the point, and this is the way Jeremiah puts it, that they will no longer talk about the exodus out of Egypt, but they'll talk about the exodus from all these different nations. And because we aren't talking in those terms just yet, that tells me it has not yet come to its ultimate fulfillment. Because we're going to talk about in just a couple of days how God brought his people out of Egypt. So it's an ongoing thing. But that's a really big one. But there are other things that are happening right now. I think the Gaza and war is something that is very significant because there are prophecies about Gaza, about the land of the Philistines.
Starting point is 01:35:48 I think this war has the potential. I'm not going to make the prediction, but it has the potential to lead into other things. The attack the other night by Iran was said to be at least affiliated with, you know, what's going on in Gaza and these kinds of things. So there are things going on right now that do set the stage potentially for some things to happen. And that makes our day a little different,
Starting point is 01:36:15 now. What you're saying that Gaza could turn into? What are you referring to? Well, again, there are different prophecies about Gaza, how it's going to be, you know, destroyed, basically. But here is the thing that jumps out at me. It's the fact that Hamas has played such a big role. Bible names Hamas by name. There are prophecies against Edom and Esau, and it says because of the
Starting point is 01:36:50 Hamas that you've committed against your brother Jacob, which is translated violence, I'm going to deal with you. And Obadiah, it says, because you committed Hamas against your brother Jacob, I'm going to deal with you. In Genesis, before the days of Noah leading up to the flood, it says that Hamas filled the earth. So I do not believe that that is just some cosmic coincidence. That's God way before any of this, you know, we were even thought of, God's already telling us things in the beginning to be on the lookout in the end. So the fact that Hamas has been the instigator, the primary instigator, as it relates to what's going on in the Gaza war right now, to me, it's something that is very, very important, and that means then it has the potential
Starting point is 01:37:34 to expand into other things, other prophecies. They talk about the destruction of Damascus, and leading all the way up to, you know, what a lot of people are looking for, the War of Gog and Magog. So all that is on the table as a possibility. Is it going to happen right now? Again, I don't know. There are things that are happening that could lead to these more dramatic events. So anyway, that's what I mean by the Ghazan thing. The destruction in Syria, Damascus could happen overnight.
Starting point is 01:38:09 the return of the the Jews to Israel, you would think that would be almost impossible. But, you know, one of the things I've been thinking lately, you know, disconnected from, you know, end time stuff is if I were a Jew today and I saw the whole world starting to heat up like this, there would come a time when I'd be like, you know, I'm going to just, I'm going to Israel. Because I at least going to stand with my own people because it's the only place where I may not be persecuted, you know. without a shot of standing up. Well, and I think that this is going to sound maybe a little bizarre, but God's way is to put pressure on people to move them into the place that he wants them to be. Correct. I mean, that's just a plain, simple fact.
Starting point is 01:38:57 So I don't discount that at all. I think that as these things begin to unfold, it's going to become increasingly unpopular in the world to be Jewish, to be associated with Israel, to stand with Israel. But at the same time, you know, God uses that pressure to kind of put people into position that he wants to be to kind of force his will. And it's always going to be for the best interests of his people. But it doesn't feel very good at the time when you're being subjected to all that pressure. Do Iran and Russia and their alliance play a role in prophecy? Well, a lot of people think so. I'm one of those. And,
Starting point is 01:39:37 based primarily in what you're reading Ezekiel 38 and 9. This is the war I mentioned briefly a moment ago, the war of Gog and Magog, right? And so if you think, if you read the prophecy, we don't have time to do that today, but if you think that Russia is the land of Magog, then I'd say yes. In fact, that prophecy talks about how this chief prince, this ruler over the land of Megag is going to come from the far north. Well, if you start in Israel and go north, if you go to the far north you're in Russia. So it seems like that Russia would be involved. And of course, the old Soviet Union was never a friend to Israel, who's always aligned with Israel's enemies. If I were Netanyahu, I wouldn't trust Putin as far as I can spit. So, you know,
Starting point is 01:40:23 Russia is, you know, not a good guy in this regard. And then when you read that prophecy, Ezekiel 38, 9, you'll see that among the Confederates, the first one is mentioned is Persia, which is, of course, the ancient name for Iraq. Ron. Just kind of a sidebar here, interesting to me anyway. The name Iran or the modern name Iran is derived from the word Aryan. Maybe that should tell you something. Yeah, I've always thought so. Before we get into the Ark of the Covenant, which I just find fascinating, you said that we need to watch out for Esau. Who's Esau in the Bible and in modern times? Well, Esau, of course, was the older brother, Jacob.
Starting point is 01:41:11 He's all red and hairy, and he's impulsive, and he's a hunter, and all these kinds of things, and he has no regard for the birthright. He has no regard for the covenant that God made with Abraham. Jacob is the more temperate one. He values these things that are eternal. So when Jacob obtained the blessing of his father, Isaac, Esau vowed to kill him. So as you read ahead into prophecy, you will see that even though the man Esau died, God still addresses Esau, also known as Edom, you know, centuries later, because of your hatred
Starting point is 01:41:44 toward your brother, because of the Hamas you commit towards your brother, I'm going to deal with you in the end. And so to me, today, Esau is epitomized in those people like Hamas, like Hezbollah. They have this ancient hatred, and that's the way it's termed in Ezekiel, chapter 35. And I would even include, Glenn, in that mix, all of these people that are getting on the Golden Gate Bridge and stopping traffic and doing all these protests and standing outside New York University last night and, you know, chanting death to America and Dearborn, Michigan, I would include that in the people that are identified as Esau from a biblical point of view, not so much because they're descended from the man. No, but because of their same mindset. Their hatred, their unreasonable hatred. Correct.
Starting point is 01:42:38 Okay. When we come back, let me take a one-minute break, and then we're going to talk about the rebuilding of the temple and the arc of the covenant. Some say they know exactly where it is, and it's closer to the temple mouth than you might think. We'll give you that here in 60 seconds. First, if you ever find yourself at the end of a long day, tired out from everything, and all you want to do is just go to bed, put your head on the pillow, and fall asleep. And then you do all those things, except you don't fall asleep, can drive you out of your mind, especially if it happens more than once in a while. At times like these, you should be reaching for relief factor sleep, just like the regular relief factor you take for pain.
Starting point is 01:43:17 It is 100% drug-free. So you can get the good night sleep that you really need without, you know, feel like you're getting hit by a truck the next morning. It's so bad. Those, I'm telling you, those sleep aids, those prescriptions, they are just, they're death. Really bad. Blend of natural ingredients. It's designed to promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety, distress, improving the mood, and promoting relaxation.
Starting point is 01:43:43 1995. Unleashed the power of great sleep by calling 800 the number four relief. That's 800 for relief. Or go to Relieffactor.com. Dream big and sleep tight. 10 seconds. Station ID. Okay.
Starting point is 01:44:05 So does the dome of the rock have to be destroyed for the third temple? That's what most people think when they consider, you know, a rebuilding of the temple. Although not everybody thinks that that is necessary, and because there is some dispute about where the temple actually sat, where the Holy of Holies was, there's a lot of religious Jews to believe it's, you know, where the Dome of the Rock is. There was a gentleman, excuse me, back in the late 80s, early 90s, he was a professor at the Hebrew University. He felt that the Holy of Holies actually was a little north of the Dome of the Rock under a place or at a place called the Dome of the Tablets and the Spirits.
Starting point is 01:44:49 So most people believe that the Dome of the Rock has to go. There are some who believe that it's possible that the temple could have sat just north and technically speaking could be on the same platform. There's even a passage in Revelation chapter 11 where John is told to measure the temple of God on the altar, but to leave the court outside, leave that out. Right. That's given the Gentiles. So some people have thought, well, maybe that is suggesting that there's going to be
Starting point is 01:45:20 a temple alongside the, either the dome of the rock or the Alask mosque mosque. You know, I don't know. I find that problematic for a lot of reasons. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like the burning of the red heifer right there, you know, in Arab territory. might be a problem with that. That's right. So the Ark of the Covenant is where they kept the Ten Commandments,
Starting point is 01:45:46 and I know it was real. I know it existed, but I never ever really thought, we're going to find that. We're going to find that? Is that important for the rebuilding of the temple? Well, technically speaking, the second temple, this is the one that was built after the Babylonian captivity, and then Herod expanded it.
Starting point is 01:46:07 That one did not have the Ark of the Covenant in it. And it was still considered the House of God. So there is historical precedent for building the Temple and not having the art. However, there's prophecies that talk about how the glory of the latter house is going to be greater than the first one, referring to Solomon's, which had the Ark of the Covenant. So technically, they could rebuild it without the art. However, there have been those in Israel since the Reunificate. of Jerusalem who, you know, not only do they want to build a temple on the temple mount, but they want to find the Ark of the Covenant. And there are a lot of traditions as to what happened in the Ark of the Covenant. Some say that it went to Ethiopia, which I don't believe. Some people say that Jeremiah hid it in Mount Nebo, which is in Jordan. Some people believe that it is outside of the old city buried. And then there are quite a number of people, and particularly people close to, the idea of rebuilding the temple who believe that it's buried somewhere underneath the temple mount.
Starting point is 01:47:13 That's not really a big secret, honestly. It's all over the internet. But I find that, you know, if you know anything about the temple mount, and well, can you hold on just a second? We'll come back to this here in just a second because there's supposed to be a labyrinth of tunnels underneath, etc., etc. but I can't see how those haven't been, you know, exhaustively gone through by those of the Muslim religion. We'll get more on this here in just a second. Stand by. So for the Biden administration, running the American economy is just like shooting fish in a barrel,
Starting point is 01:48:06 except you and I are the fish and the American dollar is the barrel, and it's getting shot full of holes every day.

Starting point is 01:49:49 where a lot of people are going, you know, I think I've read about this someplace before. But no man knows when. I mean, it could be a thousand, years from now, but it will happen at some point. And we need to be aware. And I want to make this really clear. And Bill, I think you'll back me up on this. The Lord was not, he didn't look at scriptures and go, man, it just doesn't have a snappy ending. I want part two of this. So let me leave him on a scary cliffhanger. The book of Revelation was written not to scare us, but to say,
Starting point is 01:50:26 look, all of these things will come to pass. And it's almost, I think it's a blessing that he says. And, you know, at this point, the seven-year clock starts to tick off. And he's telling us, I'm not, don't be shocked by these things. They're going to be bad and they're going to seem like they're never ending, but they're not. And I'm telling you these things. So you have faith and can make it through those times. Is that how you read it?
Starting point is 01:50:58 Absolutely. When you go to the book of Revelation, by the way, and you look at the heading, it says the revelation of Jesus Christ. It does not say the revelation of the Antichrist or the tribulation or bold judgments and vile judges. It's about the Messiah. In fact, it says in that book that the essence of prophecy is the testimony of Messiah. The spirit of prophecy is about the Messiah.
Starting point is 01:51:22 So everything about all this, you know, bad stuff, ultimately it's going to point us to the Messiah because all the bad stuff is just the Satan and those who practice wickedness trying to stop the Messiah from returning and sitting upon his throne in Jerusalem to rule and reign. So, yeah, it doesn't end on a bad note. It ends on what mankind, those who love righteousness and holiness, have been longing for since Adam was exiled from the garden, a return. to be with God and God be in our midst. So that's the greatest thing that we could ever hope for. And all these things that we see are pointing us to that. So it's an excellent observation on your part. He tells us these things.
Starting point is 01:52:06 In fact, when he sat down on the Mount of Olives with his disciples, this is in Matthew 24. By the way, the Mount of Olives is where they'll burn that red her when they do it. But anyway, he sits down on the Mount of Olives, and he says, basically, I'm telling you all these things, as you said, so that you'll know this is going to happen, but don't be dismayed. Don't fall in despair.
Starting point is 01:52:26 I'm telling you these things so that you will not be deceived. I'm telling you these things in advance, so you won't be impulsive and go running after things that you shouldn't go running after. So when these things happen, keep your focus. Stay, you know, kind of stay the course on what you know is right to do. So I absolutely agree with you. Growing lawlessness is a sign of the last days. and we're seeing lawlessness like I've never seen before. Now, this has happened over and over again where societies become lawless and they collapse.
Starting point is 01:53:00 But lawlessness in the last days, it gives birth to the lawless one, which is the Antichrist, right? Right, exactly. You know, that's exactly right. A lot of people have thought that the Antichrist will come to power and he'll create this lawless environment. I believe the Bible teaches that a lawless environment gives birth to the lawless one, the son of perdition, the Antichrist. To me, that makes sense. I mean, it's, you know, it was about 2006. I was talking to Condoleezza Rice, and she used very specific language.
Starting point is 01:53:42 She was on my show, and we were talking about, you know, what things look like now. and what's coming our way. And she said, these things are birth pangs of the things to come. And I thought that was, you know, rather unusual language for somebody to use because it's very scriptural. Yeah, that's biblical language for sure. Yeah, it is. And we are giving birth to something. I don't know if it's the, you know, the Antichrist or the Entente.
Starting point is 01:54:18 times or just really, really bad times. But everything that we're seeing, these are like contractions and birth pangs. When things happen, you're like, ow, that hurt. And they're becoming faster and faster and closer and closer to one another. We are giving birth to something. Well, in Hebrew, it's called Hevle-Mashiv. It's the birth pangs of the Messiah. The Messiah is, you know, and his rule and reign over the earth, that's what is, that's
Starting point is 01:54:44 being birth. That's what's coming to fruition. It's just in the process, the earth and everybody in it has to go through these birth pangs. Paul talks about how the earth is groaning and producing this travail in these birth pangs so that the sons of God will be revealed. So that goes hand and glove with the Messiah, his return. So that's what's being birthed. But just like in any birth of something that is wonderful, there's all this yuckiness and all this pain and suffering. And unfortunately, that pressure has to be there.
Starting point is 01:55:16 to get those who are listening to the voice of the Lord in the place that he wants them to be. And that is not giving into the lawlessness, not giving into the just crazy stuff that, you know, society is pushing down our throats, but to stand true, you know, based on what scripture says. So that's what's being birthed as far as I'm concerned. So let me go back to the Ark of the Covenant because it seems almost like, it just seems like an Indiana Jones movie. It doesn't even seem real in some ways. I know it is or I know it was, but then it just kind of disappeared. Nobody really knows what happened to it.
Starting point is 01:55:54 People have been looking for it forever. And people are saying that it's going to be revealed, and some people believe it's under the temple mount. I've stood at the place where they say right behind these stones is where they think the of Holy of Holies is, which is where the Ark of the Covenant would be. And there's, there's, it's a labyrinth of, of passageways and everything underneath there, at least it used to be. But why, why would it, how could it possibly still be there when, you know, the Muslims have been digging underneath the Temple Mount for a long time and taking truckloads of, of dirt and, and antiquities out and just dumping them? Yeah. How could it still be there?
Starting point is 01:56:43 I don't know that I have the answer to that question. I'll just say, my faith would say that if God wanted it to be there, it's still there. He has a way of watching over things. But is it prophesied that it will be found and come back, or is this just something that some people think? Well, the last time you see or you see a mention of the Arch of the Covenant is when Josiah tells the priest to take the Arch of the Covenant and put it in the house that Solomon had prepared for. And by the way, there are people who read into that, well, the Ark of the Covenant was already in the temple. What is Josiah saying? And some people say, well, he was hiding it because he knew the Babylonians were coming.
Starting point is 01:57:24 And that's where some people think it's hidden in somewhere around Jerusalem. Most people, you know, close to the temple or rebuilt temple motivation, think that it's underneath the temple mouth. But, you know, it disappears from the record is the point. And the next time you see anything mentioned, it's in the book of Revelation, actually, after all this other stuff is over with, all the bad stuff. So, yeah, it is a big mystery. I will tell you a quick story, 92. I, another gentleman, along with it, to the office of Rabbi Yehuda Ghits, who at that time was over all of the holy places in Jerusalem. and to make a very long story short.
Starting point is 01:58:14 Rabbi Getz did not believe that the Ark of the Covenant was in Ethiopia. He did not believe it was at Mount Nebo. He felt very confident he knew what the Ark of the Covenant was. And he did not tell us, but told us that in the early 80s, Yudite Gets, along with Shlmul Gorn and a lot of the men who were participants in the re-eufification of Jerusalem in 67, actually when these excavations begun, they were looking for the Ark of the Covenant because they believed that it was under the Temple Mount somewhere.
Starting point is 01:58:49 I've even heard reports that Yohita Gets supposedly saw the place where it was kept. Now, I don't know that to be a fact. So there are people who do believe it still exists. There are people that are in Jerusalem who would love for that to be revealed. And I would suggest that if that were to have it, you think the red heifer is going to call it? my gosh, oh my gosh. So. I mean, I can't imagine how that could be revealed and the whole world not taking real significant note.
Starting point is 01:59:23 Whether you believe that the, you know, what's ever in it or, you know, are the remnants of the Ten Commandments or not, it doesn't matter. For the Ark of the Covenant to be revealed and come back, that would say a lot about Israel. about Jerusalem, about the times we live in, I mean, pretty much everything, pretty much everything. Well, if it still exists, and this is just my opinion, that's all it is, just an opinion. I tend to believe that if it exists and is going to be revealed, then it's probably going to coincide with the Messianicade, with the Massiazic Age, with the massage return. And, you know, I think that would probably be more likely. but that doesn't mean that there aren't people who would be very, very excited to have opportunity to find it, look for it, and if they could bring it out. And that would cause World War III most likely.
Starting point is 02:00:20 It probably would. It's weird, Bill. When you're over there, you don't understand how this little patch of land has caused so much turmoil, really, in the world, why everybody seems to be centered on that patch of land. land because it's not very big. And it's almost like it's a pulse. You can feel it. That temple mount, there's something about that area. It's God's throne, and you can feel it.
Starting point is 02:00:48 Exactly. It's amazing. Well, and, you know, that, what you just said is even prophetic. You know, prophecy says that he's going to make Jerusalem a burdensome, burdensome stuff. Yes. And it's, and even more so the Temple Mount, because that is where God's presence kiss the earth. That was, and where the arc of the covenant basically was God's throne on earth. Right. So, yeah, it's a very contested piece of property, and it will be at the heart
Starting point is 02:01:14 of the conflict, yes. Bill Cloud, thank you so much. If you'd like to follow him, you can find him on his website at billcloud.org. That's Bill cloud.org. He's been teaching this stuff for a very, very long time. Bill, thank you so much. God bless you. There are young people right now working in this building who are either too young to remember 9-11 or were even born after it, which is crazy to me. Sadly, unlike most young adults who work here, most of their generation knows almost nothing about 9-11. But today, more than 80,000 people still suffer from 9-11-related illnesses. That day is still taking lives. And the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, 9-11 Institute, helps educators teach K through 12 kids by providing non-fiction personal accounts told through videos

Starting point is 02:02:51 You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck. Sit tight, boys and girls. We'll be right back after these messages. This episode is brought to you by Nespresso. Hear that? That's your next obsession. Every coffee, a new world. Every sip, a new taste. This is the new Nespresso.
Starting point is 02:03:17 One touch, endless possibilities. Iced, flavored, long, short. Because some days call for that espresso kick. And sometimes, a smooth, silky latte just wins. It's exceptional, but effortless. Like actually effortless. Simply press, brew, and explore. Nispresso, what else?
Starting point is 02:03:34 Keep exploring at nespresso.com. Well, today is an interesting day here at the studios. There's a handful of us that are getting a private briefing from the state of Israel on October 7th and some of the other things that are going on. And Stu, as courageous as always, is like, I don't want to see that. I don't want to see that. I don't. I don't want to see it.
Starting point is 02:04:15 I don't want to see it. I know what it is. I don't need to see it. Yeah. Pat and I are going to, are both going to see it. And there's several people on the research staff that are going to see it. I think it's good.
Starting point is 02:04:25 I am concerned about what tomorrow's show feels like, though, after you watch, I mean, basically mass murder in real life on video. I feel like that's going to maybe make the Friday show not so fun. Well, that would be your job. So just bring the fun as you're, like, crying. The fun. No, I don't want it to affect, you know, I probably, well, I know I will. I'll talk about, you know, whatever I can talk about.
Starting point is 02:04:53 It's going to be hard to just emotionally overcome that. I'd rather have you watching a Friday have it ruin your weekend. But that wasn't an option, unfortunately. When they come, they come. No, this is the October 7th thing you're talking about. This is the thing that the Jews say a bunch of people were murdered. Thank you. New York Times reporter?
Starting point is 02:05:12 Yeah, because that was reading the New York Times. They say they're talking about the Columbia guy professor. So the president also disclosed that the university was investigating Joseph Moss, who used the word awesome to describe the October 7th attack led by Hamas, that Israel says killed 1,200 people. Well, that's what Israel does say. Now, I thought there was mountains of evidence, some of which you're going to see today. But no, apparently just Israel saying it. It's Israel saying it.
Starting point is 02:05:39 Yeah. So, yeah, that go for us. Also, I'm doing an interview here in a few minutes. It's a weird day with the people that did the octopus murders. Oh, this is the Netflix show you're talking about. Documentary, right? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 02:05:53 Five-part documentary, really, really interesting. You never really know what's happening. And then when you think you know comes the fifth episode. And you're like, and I just don't know what to take from it. And it's just fascinating, but it is a deep, deep, deep dive into conspiracy land. I want you to know, you've been selling this to me, and it's now going on my list. I've got a TV movies documentary list that I keep that all the stuff that I really want to watch but I never get to. It's going on the list.
Starting point is 02:06:31 Going on the list. Yes, you've made it. You know, that's good. I've got that watch list too. You do? Yeah. Never get to any of them. No.
Starting point is 02:06:38 No. Go through it. And I'll be like, yeah, when did I put that on? I don't know if I really well, leave it there. And never get to it. You know what's one of the first things on my list is? Mad Men. I've never, I think that's on my list, too.
Starting point is 02:06:52 Never watched it. No. I got to watch that someday. Someday I'm going to. All nine seasons of it. It's on my list. It's the first thing on my list. All right.
Starting point is 02:07:03 Any day now, Glenn, any day now. The Glenn Beck Program.
