The Glenn Beck Program - Did Iran Win? Glenn's Message to Critics & Cheerleaders | 6/18/26

Episode Date: June 18, 2026

What’s actually in the 14-point memorandum of understanding between Iran and the U.S.? Glenn breaks down what the memorandum actually promises, which is contrary to what many in the media claim, and explains why this memorandum was necessary for President Trump to issue. Glenn warns about the most dangerous sentence a government can issue and shares five stories that prove it. When a government makes a policy change and the reason is for your “safety,” your alarm bells should start ringing. Glenn discusses the horrific story from England of children suffering an unfathomable amount of abuse and the country protecting the offenders because they're Muslim. If mankind won’t even stand up for the safety of children, what are we? Glenn delivers a powerful, emotional monologue arguing that the safety of children cannot be politicized. Glenn reacts to a recent poll from CNN, which revealed that a majority of Democrats are no longer proud to be Americans. Many are asking, if this Iran memorandum sticks and this is the deal that was made, why didn’t Trump get a better deal? Glenn makes the case that Trump likely got the best deal he could have and lays out all the outside factors Iran used for leverage.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you really feel disconnected without ever announcing itself. You're still in the room. You're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up. And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit. And you're just hoping, don't ask me anything because I don't know what we're talking about anymore. What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial. It's the process. It's the doctor appointments, the multiple visits, the adjustments, the price.

I've got a lot on the plate today. I want to start with Iran and this MOU. And, you know, you're not going to like it. I don't like it. You might not like what I have to say. Trump's not going to like what I have to say. I'm not going to make any friends today, but I'm going to tell you the truth. And where I feel this is really.

coming down to and what we're dealing with with Iran. We'll do that here in just a minute. Also hour two, I was working on a monologue yesterday, and my wife got me this stupid aura ring that she's making me wear, which is stressing me out. But anyway, she's making me wear this. She's like, we gotta control your stress. We gotta figure out your stress, blah, blah, blah.

So I'm wearing this stupid aura ring. And yesterday, I'm writing this monologue, okay? And the one that's gonna do an hour two. And I'm really passionate about it. And that little aura thing goes off on my phone and says, are you doing yard work? I'm like, nope, I'm just sitting my fat ass behind this typewriter. And I'm writing a stupid monologue. That's what's happening to me.

So I'm a little passionate about what I have to share with you next hour. And I would ask that you would listen and really engage, set some time apart for our number two's monologue. But I want to start first with what's happening with this MOU. you. And what? Where's this war going? What just happened? We'll get that to you here in 60 seconds. First, two o'clock in the morning, guy driving slowly down your street. He's lost. He's not looking for an address. He's looking for an opportunity. He passes one house. Too many lights. Passes another dog. Sounds big. Then he sees your house. slows down. Maybe this is the one. Then he spots the sign in the yard, says, protected by simply safe. Now, he doesn't know exactly what's inside the house. He doesn't

know where the cameras are, but he knows what kind of security system you have and that's enough. He knows, don't pick that house because I'll probably go to jail. He knows there are cameras watching from the minute he steps on the property. He knows there are people ready to respond that will call the police before he even gets to the front door after they question, what are you doing here? What are you looking for? He knows this is not an easy target that he was hoping for, so he does what criminals usually do and that just moves on. He leaves. That's what you like about simply safe. That's why you need simple. Simply safe. It's a system so good. Its reputation alone makes him decide to go someplace else.

And right now you can get 50% off your new system by visiting SimplySafe.com slash back. Half off at SimplySafe.com slash back. There is no safe like SimplySafe. All right. Let me tell you exactly what's in this MOU now. We're coming to the end, perhaps, of this war with Iran. And let me tell you what's in it. And then I'll tell you what it means because those are two different conversations. one, the first part, I'm going to give you facts. The second part, I'm going to give you opinion. And my opinion is worth just as much as your opinion is. So take it for what it's worth.

What's the MOU? It's a 14-point memorandum. Let's start with the part that everybody on Trump's coalition, everybody on his side is up in arms about and open revolt. There is a reconstruction plan for Iran worth at least $300 billion. built with regional partners and the United States issuing the license to move the money. It's not our money, it's not your money. It's not American dime will go to this.

But every frozen Iranian asset will be unfrozen and made fully spendable, payable to whomever the Iran Central Bank points to. That doesn't sound good. The Treasury is then starting to issue oil export waivers immediately, so, Duran can sell crude right now. And on a schedule, every sanction comes off. Let me say that again. On a schedule, all sanctions come off. The UN, the nuclear watchdog, our own sanctions.

We've had these sanctions in place since 1979. Now the nuclear heart of it, because this is where the war was supposedly fought. Iran has to reaffirm it will not build a weapon. Uh-huh. It's stockpiled of enrichment. material doesn't leave the country. Uh, what? It will get watered down on site under inspection.

Oh, UN inspectors. Uh-huh. And the enrichment, not ended, just to be discussed. Not happy with any of that. Meanwhile, the status quo holds. Iran keeps its program where it is, we add no new sanctions and no new forces. On the street of our moves, free passage is guaranteed. for 60 days only. And then the future, quote, administration of the strait gets negotiated with

Oman and the Gulf states, which a lot of people are reading as the doors left wide open for Iran to charge tolls down the road. I don't know. That's speculation. Now, the president is saying out loud that Iran gets to keep some of its missiles and some enrichment, walking back the very things the war was started to take out. Okay, so that's the bad side. And there's a lot. be said for the bad side on this one. Okay, but hear me out. Now let me give you the other side of the ledger. Here's the good stuff.

None of this is a treaty. This is a MOU, a memo of understanding. That's it. It's a roadmap and a 60-day clock. Either side can walk at any time. The money and the relief are sequenced against Iran actually doing things. So it's not like we're opening up the bank account. And again, it's not coming from us.

This is their money, but we don't release any of that money, and it doesn't go all at once. They have to do things. They have to open the straight. They have to clear the mines. You cleared the mines? We verified you cleared the mines. Okay, here's a little bit more of your money. They have to let the oil and the inspectors flow.

The minute they don't, they don't get the money. There is a monitoring mechanism. A final deal will have to be locked in by the Security Council. Our forces don't fully leave until 30 days after that final deal. So until then, we're sitting right off their coast and we're ready to go. Trump's message is, if it falls apart, I've got four words. Go back to bombing. That's the deal.

That's the memo of understanding. Now what do I think about it? Take it for what it's worth. This war started to stop them. from bombing people and building missiles. We hoped that it would end in freedom. But we've learned two lessons. This war has taught us two things.

Lesson number one, the 12ers are not going anyway, anywhere. These are the radicals that believe they can wash the world in blood and bring about the return of the Mahadi. It is crazy. These are the apocalyptic clerics and the generals, the ones whose whole theology, runs this country now from beginning to end.

We bombed and the moderates did not rise to the top. We killed and they did not. Instead, the IRGC got stronger, okay? We bombed, we made it possible for it to be weakened. The people did not pour into the streets to finish it. The people that were in power that could have stopped the IRGC did not stop the IRGC. the people who still pray for the end of the world to come so the Mahadi can return, those are the people who hold the country today.

And that teaches you something really hard. If your actual goal is to end the regime, not bruise it, but to end it, there is only one model in history that will do that. And it's the one we ran on Germany and Japan in 1945, and that is total defeat. Occupation, dismantle the apparatus, try and hang the leaders, did not suffie the entire machine and build it into something that can't do this again by using the Iranian people.

Okay. That's the only thing that has worked in the past and the only thing that will work in the future. But that requires two things that we don't have. So before everybody gets all hot and bothered and oh my gosh, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, can we just look at ourselves for a minute? There are two things that we don't have or won't give American troops on the ground. I won't.

I don't want American troops on the ground there. I don't want it. So no go zone. And I'm not alone. Everybody on all sides says no troops on the ground. Okay. Two, an Iranian public ready to go and pick up the rubble and build a free country out of it. Don't see it yet.

I don't. Without both of those things. you are not going to end the regime. The only thing you can do is postpone it. Lesson two. We only lose wars in the United States that we refuse to fight, or the ones that we get bored of, or are too inconvenient for us.

That is the ceiling of war. The whole world knows it. That's the real ceiling. That's the one that decided this. What was that one thing that we decided to choose over, over trying to fix Iran or whatever it is we were going to do. What is the thing that outweighed that? The price of gasoline.

Period. I'm not saying that's wrong. I'm not saying that's not a real concern. I'm just telling you the truth. What decided how we fight this war was the price of gasoline. Americans had no tolerance for high price of gas. The American appetite for this fight ran exactly as deep as the number on the sign at the corner gas station. Iran has known that for 40 years. It's the whole reason the

Strait of Ramos exists in their strategy. The world knows it and Donald Trump knows it better than anybody. He cannot go one step further than the American people will carry him. And the vast majority of the American people are tied directly to the price of gas. The American people, the vast majority, do not see Iran as a problem. They are not willing to look at a long-term solution. They do not, and I'm not judging, I'm just telling you the facts. They do not believe that we have a fight that we should fight with Iran, the majority of people. And that's how it works when a president who's not a dictator is trying to do something that the people have no stomach for.

That's the way it works in a republic, which we have. dictators would have just kept going. Notice the difference Democrats? So now put these two lessons together and ask the honest question. The one the people that are screaming, he betrayed us, won't ask. Knowing that the regime survives anything short of a ground war, knowing that the public's patience end at the pump,

what did you expect him to do? What exactly could he have done? What exactly kind of deal would you have gotten that would have been better without changing either one of those facts? What kind of deal do you expect when Congress, while we were negotiating, was saying you've got to stop this and we're voting for you to stop this war? What exactly kind of good deal do you think we would have gotten? Okay, so let me give you my read, and it's not a certainty. it's just a read. He set him back.

That is not what I wanted. That's not, I don't think, what you wanted. That's not what the left wanted. They didn't want them set back. But he set him back. He kicked the can down the road at least five years. I didn't want him to kick the can down the road. He didn't want to kick the can down the road.

But he also didn't want to own what he didn't want, a war in the Middle East that we were stuck in. And neither did you. Neither did I. So sets them back on the missiles and the bombs. This is temporary. This is not a fix. We can never, ever, ever, ever trust the Iranian leadership, ever. But a five-year setback bought with bombs and very few American funerals is still worth doing. Now, me personally, I would rather fight Iran in my lifetime than to hand that fight to my children

and I suspect you feel the same. But the vast majority of our neighbors do all of their math at the gas pump, not at the map, not thinking about the future. That's the country we live in. That's the country Trump is governing. That's

the board he must play on. Because, let me it again, he's not a dictator. So, will I tell you that this worked out the way I hoped it would? Nope. Didn't. Not the way I hoped it would work out. Not the way I prayed it would work out. Not what I was expecting. But cursing the deal is not a plan. So here's the plan. Give me 60 seconds. I'll come right back with it. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Our sponsor is Z Factor, unless you're Donald Trump, who I'm fairly sure, certain runs on a combination of Diet Coke, sheer willpower, and some sort of energy source

unknown to modern science, you need sleep, good sleep. Not the kind where you close your eyes for eight hours and wake up feeling like you just lost a fist fight, but real sleep, because everything gets harder when you don't get enough of it. You're more irritable, you're less focused, your memory isn't as sharp. Even small problems feel bigger than they actually are, and that's why I'm always interested in things that actually help people sleep better. Z-factor was created by the same people who brought you relief factor and it's designed to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep, longer and wake up feeling refreshed. And let's be honest, there's one thing this country could use more of. Right now, it's a few million people who aren't exhausted all the time. Give Z Factor a try.

Right now, you can say 46% on your first order of 1995 for 30-day supply. Call 1-800 for relief. 1-800, the number 4 relief or visit Relieffactor.com. Better sleep, better days, Z-factor. Fromrelieffactor. 10 seconds station ID. So I'm sorry, I don't, I'm sorry I'm coming off. I fear that I'm yelling at you and I'm not yelling at you. I think you were just as frustrated as I am. But what I am frustrated with is the people, even on our own side, they want to have it both ways.

They want to have it both ways. They want to be able to vote and say, stop this war, stop this war. And then complain when you don't get a good deal. Of course you're not going to get a good deal. these weasels in Washington drive me out of my ever-loving. I better take off my aura ring or it's just going to show horrible things. My wife's going to say, which will it smasses me out even more.

Anyway, here's the solution. If money is going to flow to Iran, and I hate every dollar of that, then it has to flow on the shortest leash ever put on a regime. Carrot and stick. The carrot has to be real. It gets metered out. one tranche at a time. Every dollar of that 300 billion, every unfrozen asset sits in escrow.

It's administered through our Gulf partners, which I don't like, but it must be tracked end-to-end, accounted for down to the penny so we know that built a road and that built a rocket. Inspectors have to watch the enriched material get watered down on-site, on-camera for everyone to see. Hormuz, a toll. That is a tripwire. day clock trip wire, the enrichment that they want to discuss tripwire. And the first time, and I mean the very first time, they cross one of those tripwires, the money must stop that hour, that minute, no warning, no extension, it's shut off. Snapback sanctions back on, posture back.

And the thing the president already promised, bomb the snot out of them must become real. We keep our forces in position and the threat believable because that's the only language this regime has ever respected and that is the credible promise of force. That's the doctrine. It sits on a bumper sticker and it's fine and everyone can understand it. Here's the thing. Americans refuse a ruthless war. Nobody wants a ruthless war. No one.

They won't. We will not tolerate it. They have told us plainly. Congress, the weasels, plainly, and they're not wrong for being tired. Weasels in Washington are different than the average person. You're tired, they're scumbags. Here's the thing. We have to hand the only alternative that will keep us safe to the Iranians,

and that is not a soft piece, not a hopeful piece, not a trusting piece. this, for this to work, this must be a ruthless peace. We won't fight a ruthless war, then we must have ruthless peace. Enforced with zero, zero. Oh, what about the children? None of that. Zero benefit of the doubt. Instant consequences.

If we won't fight a ruthless war, fine. Then we must have a ruthless peace. That's the assignment. everything else is noise noise from the podcasters noise from Congress noise from the political parties noise at the gas pump

everything else is noise ruthless peace period I personally I don't see this as a loss of Donald Trump I see this as a loss by

the Americans the American people honestly, I think, and politicians mainly. They have played games with this. Everybody knows their day. Everyone in Washington knows who these guys are. Everybody knows who they are. We have some people in our Congress that want them to win.

Because quite honestly, I believe they're Islamists. You have all this propaganda that has been coming in from Iran, from Iran, all flooding our country. And you've had our podcasters, you've had our population, retweet, bolster Iran, believe Iran. You cannot win a war with that kind of population. You can't. So what do you have? You have the best you can do, which is kick it down and hope for sanity down the road. Now let's hold a ruthless peace. God bless Donald Trump. Trump, because I know he'll do it. I don't know about the next president. I don't know about the next Congress, but he'll do it. All right, Rapid Radio's is our sponsor.

Rapid Radio's just really amazing. Let's just say you have an annoying chore land in your lap, and you and a bunch of your friends have to go take on, you know, I don't know. You have to take the ring and drop it into the fire of Mount Doom or whatever where all the shadows lie, which also feels like something that could have been done in an email quite honestly. But apparently, no, you have to hike across the mountains, cross a bunch of hostile territory, void various monsters, throw a magic ring into a volcano. And you have friends and they're all going to get lost. You don't know where. Gandalf, hello, Gandalf, Gandalf, you're not taking my call. Did you get my message? Hello, Gandalf, can you hear me? Why go through all of this? Okay? Why go through all of this? Just get rapid radios.

Rapid radios. That's the thing. I mean, the Lord of the Rings could have been one, 20-minute movie. If you had rapid radios, we'd know where everybody was. Take them out of the box, turn them on, you're ready to go. Imagine how much short of the Lord of the Ring movies could have been. Rapid radios.com. Rapid radios.com.

They'll ship right from Michigan. Rapid radios. com. Communication redefined. Coming up later, Glenn unleashes on the grieving gang scandal and has a blistering message for British elites and the church. Stay right here on the Glenn Beck program.

Torch's summer of 250 is on. Learn to defend our freedoms with education for all ages all summer long at Torch250.com. Michelle in the mountains wrote in. She's from Colorado. She's an insider. She said, Glenn, why did Trump go in in the first place then if a win was not an option? A win was an option, Michelle. It was.

I mean, we don't ever go in knowing how a war is going to end. You hope. and I think he had a hope that the IRGC could be collapsed and that the reasonable people would step in. I don't know how many reasonable, but that was the gamble. Are there reasonable people at all in the regime of Iran? If there were, they were forced out or killed. Remember, the IRGC was killing people and we were killing people. We killed people over and over again, and I think we're going to continue to.

kill their leaders. The radical ones step up and we'll continue to kill their leaders. It's, you know, it's not a good situation. He did think that he could win. However, as I said in the last monologue, we learned two things. We learned two things. The 12ers are stronger than we thought and they are in charge. And two, the American people have absolutely no stomach even for short-term pain for long-term gain. Just no stomach. And many of the Republicans, many of all of the Democrats, you know, fed into that. We also did not expect, I don't think, to see so many of, you know, our podcasters throw their lot in with propaganda directly from Iran. So you had this whole thing kind of fall apart internally. So you got to,

you can only deal with what the conditions are on in the ground. And those are the conditions on the ground. And so what are you going to do? You're going to get the best deal you can possibly do. It also makes a case that he actually believed that we have to stop them before they go any further on their missile program and on their nuclear program. He said that at the very beginning. They're close. I cannot let them have that. That's accomplished. That is his stated goal. He had other goals that he wanted and you and I both wanted and think we need, but you can only get what you can get your delta hand, you got to play that hand. All right.

Now, let me give you another tool here on something else. I'm going to look at five stories here, and I want to give you a tool that you can use for the rest of your life. Take me 90 seconds to hand it to you, but then I have to explain, okay? I'll show you in five stories how I can prove to you that it works. The tool is this. The most dangerous sentence in all of human history is not, I hate you. It's, this is for your own good.

Cruelty announces itself, and you can guard a, against it, okay? But tyranny that believes it's being kind never stops because it never feels guilty. C.S. Lewis wrote about this a long time ago. Tyranny, uh, a tyranny that runs sincerely for the good of its victims is the most suffocating kind there is because the robber baron's greed eventually goes to sleep. But the busy bodies that improve your life against your will, they work around the clock. Okay. So there's the rule. When somebody justifies power, a policy, or an exception by telling you it's to protect the vulnerable,

that is not the time to relax. They're not protecting the vulnerable. They may think they are, but they're not. That's the moment that you have to put your guards up. Okay. Now watch, because I'm going to show you, we've sent out newsletter every day and it has all the top stories of the day. I just took the stories of the newsletter and I'm like, let me prove this out. Okay.

Story one, and I'm going to get into this next hour, Britain. That full report on the sex scandal that has been going on with the, dare I say it, with the Muslim immigrants, the number now is at a quarter of a million girls were raped. This is, peel the skin off your face horrific to read this report. For 20 years now, anyone who said it out loud got smeared as a bigot. And the report's own conclusion is the part I actually need you to hear, because it names the machine. It names the officials shielded, you know, one favored group from criticism at all cost.

And the cost was the children. And the instinct that did this was not hatred for the children or the British people. It was a warped idea of protection. Protect the favored group. Protect the comfortable story. Serve that protection. And to serve it, they fed the, they fed actually. little girls into a wood chipper and treated the people screaming about it as the problem.

It was a conspiracy right up until it wasn't. Okay, there's story one. Just do the right thing. We're doing it for a good reason. Story two. Watch the same four words, for your own good, turn into a weapon in real time. Now the UK wants to scan all content on every phone in the country. Not kids' phones, every phone, your photos, your messages, everything you do.

on the presumption that it might find something helpful to protect the children. It's for your own good. Signal said, something out loud that everyone should memorize. Kids deserve to be safe. They do not deserve surveillance. And there it is, naked. Protect the child becomes scan every adult. That's the slope.

That's the play. That's the busy bodies at work all the time. time. And before any of us get smug on this one, we have our own version. It's called the Patriot Act. Warrantless everything. Just to keep you safe. So we've done it too. The four words for your own good, it's for your own good. They don't carry a passport or a party registration. They're everywhere. It's human nature. Story three. The FTC this week is suing the world's leading transatlantic. gender medicine organization, alleging that it cooked its own clinical guidelines

to juice insurance coverage for procedures on minors. Now, I want you to set aside wherever you land on the underlying issue. Look only at the structure here. The institution you're told to trust because it's credentialed authority where the doctors were protecting your child. They bent the science toward the billing department.

same pattern, different lab coat. Story four. Now, let me in this one, strip out the children, strip out the culture war, strip out the emotion entirely, but the pattern still holds here. Seattle. Seattle passed a payroll tax and a social housing tax.

Every bit of it sold as compassion. We're going to protect the vulnerable, the not the homeless, what are they, the unhoused. Now there's a new report out. Downtown Seattle has lost 30,000 jobs and billions in office value since 2020. Okay. And they were taxing everybody.

And what happened? Everybody moved. Now here's the gift. We have a control group. It's called Bellevue right across the water. Okay. They don't have that tax. Same region, same economy, same weather, same everything.

Seattle was protected. the unhoused with a tax. And what happened? The tax, you can't raise enough because everybody's moving away. So what happens to the unhoused? Well, we're going to fix this somewhere or another. We're going to go after the corporations. Bellevue didn't do any of that stuff and it held.

That's not ideology. That's a natural experiment and it's the cleanest thing you'll read all week. Will Seattle get it? No, because it's filled with busy bodies trying to do good. Story five. This one is about the cost that we have to pay when we finally surrender the muscle. The man who gunned down the health care CEO in the streets of New York is now arguing extreme emotional disturbance. What? Yeah, he wants to knock a murder down to manslaughter for an ambush. The evidence says he planned in great detail.

And here's the good news. A good portion of our culture is just cheering him on. They're just right with him. When we decide a killer is sympathetic, we start asking even the courts, the last institution standing between us and the mob, to call premeditation a feeling. That's where this whole thing,

this whole way of thinking finally lets out. So let me give you the message coming up off of all five. and the reason is worth these, you know, four or five minutes here to take out of your day and spend time on this and time you don't have to spare, I know. But the founders didn't build this country for angels, okay? Madison said it flat out. If men were angels, we wouldn't need a government. And the entire machine of checks and balances exists because power corrupts even the sincere, even the kind, even the ones who are dead certain they are protecting you. you. So when the next headline shows up wrapped in, we have to do this for the children.

We have to do this for the vulnerable. We have to do this for your safety. Do not argue with the goal because the goal is almost always real. And that's why it works. Don't argue with the goal. Argue with the power. Ask the one question that has protected free people for 300 years. Who watches the protector? you do that and you'll start to read the news with eyes that nobody can fog because the thing that fogs every single time is well we really need this i mean it is for the children it's for our own good it's for our security i want to feel safe that's the fog that's how we got here remember that little rule and perhaps we can change things perhaps we can change things if you're taking

something every day. You don't want the main benefit to be that a doctor points at a chart six months from now and says, well, technically, that's a little better. You know, don't get me wrong, it's better than nothing, right? But if you're like me and you have tried really hard to be healthy lately, you got to do something and you want to get results that are basically going to impress the doctor, not just a little tiny improvement. You want to feel like something is actually working if you're going to take the time to take something every single morning. That's one of the main reasons that native path and Arctic krill oil is really been kind of sweeping the country. Like a lot of people, you know, you heard for years, right, like omega-3s, they're really important.

Maybe you tried fish oil. Maybe you tried all sorts of different things. The problem is you probably didn't notice all that much improvement. But the krill oil is absorbed differently. It is, you know, some studies have been shown up to 50% more absorbable, I'm never going to be able to say that word, than regular fish oil. means that your body basically is able to make better use of it. And what's interesting about that is in head-to-head studies, they've shown that krill oil actually outperforms fish oil when it comes to supporting healthy cholesterol,

helping with inflammation and easing joint discomfort. Right now you can get up to 60% off plus free shipping and a full 365 day money back guarantee by go to native krill.com slash blaze.

There's very little out there that is more rewarding than being a father. When you take on the responsibility of not only bringing a new life into the world, but also taking care of that life and raising that child, the blessings are unbelievable. But not every young man knows this. And when you're young and you find out you're going to be a father, it is easy to focus on the fear and the cost and the responsibility, the things you'll have to give up.

What's harder to see is the joy. Honestly, I don't know if I saw the real joy of this up until maybe 10 years ago. I mean, I've been terrified of being a father my whole life, but I have also enjoyed being a father. Well, not my whole life for a good portion of it, teenage years excluded.

I want to check in with Jason. Jason, before I wrap up the hour where we talk about Iran, I've got a little more to say an hour of three on this too, but what are the insiders saying? where do you agree or disagree with me? Insiders have a lot of questions, as they should, which I think is very, very healthy. Very healthy. I think that you and I talked about it in the middle of one of the insider segments that I am not, I think it's personally unfair to gauge everything and judge all of this off of a memorandum of

understanding. So if it all goes towards exactly how the text is and how we're reading, getting reacting to it, then I think there's a lot to be concerned about and be worried about. But I've seen these play out before. And I know that language within these memorandums always look to appease multiple different sides. So a lot of the language will be, it's looked to save face on, let's say, the Iranian side. While we change language and everything turns into legalese that gives the Treasury Department a lot more room to maneuver going forward. So I'll be very interested as these negotiations are kicking off tomorrow for the real peace deal.

We have a 60-day ceasefire while they do that work. So your ruthless diplomacy is going to start tomorrow. And that's when I think the actual true meat of this is going to start coming out. Hopefully. I will, I want to say this too. You know, I'm not hearing anybody say why Donald Trump said, you know, accepted this deal. Did you hear what he said yesterday? Why he took this deal?

What he felt the alternative was? Maybe. What did you hear? Global economic disaster. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, nobody is paying any attention to that. That is the other thing, the third thing. You know, one, you roll the dice, hope you can kill these guys without a denotification kind of thing. It couldn't be done. Two, the American people in gas prices, they're not willing to fight. And rightfully, they do not want boots on the ground in Middle East anymore.

They don't want it. So they have no tolerance of that. Third thing is, economic disaster. you have Europe, and it's this is their own fault. They're not paying $5 a gallon of gas. They're paying $10 because there's a $5 a gallon gas tax for the environment and for the green energy. You cannot. Imagine if we all had $10 a gallon gas, how healthy would our economy be? So you've got all of the Western world ready to collapse with $10 a gallon gasoline. the president has to take that into account as well because if Europe collapses, who's buying our stuff?

We have to sell stuff. We have to be able to sell stuff to the rest of the world. And we do not want them to collapse economically. So because they didn't get involved, because they didn't help, for a whole myriad of reasons, you now have that situation. And the president has got to play the cards that are on the table that are in his hand. And so I just, I don't know, I'm really grumpy today. I don't know why.

I'm really grumpy today. And so maybe I'm just a little too harsh, but I just, I have no tolerance for people who just want to be right all the time. Look, I wasn't right on this. I told you I thought it would work out really well. I hoped, I hoped. So I'm not right on this. I don't want to be right.

I want to be accurate. And I want to be fair. And I just, I'm so sick. and tired of these podcasters of the people who are on in the media and especially our politicians who just are not happy no matter what this president does it doesn't matter they're just not happy and they're going to bitch and complain the whole way they will it's got to stop it's got to stop it's got to stop okay he stops it what are you stopping it for with this kind of a deal are you ever going to be happy you know the answer is no so shut your pie hole let people who are

actually concerned about things and are willing to work with the cards that we've been dealt, let us figure out the future. Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you. Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars. and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach

more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. We're living in a time where it's really easy to forget what this country is actually about how it came to be. And we talk about the founders like they just appeared fully formed out of history, but that's not

how it happened. That's why I think young George Washington is so important right now. This is a film that takes you back before he was president, before the revolution was one, before George Washington was George Washington, that symbol. And it shows you the young man he

really was, not perfect, not polished, but somebody who is shaped by failures, hard decisions, and courage and by a sense that there was something bigger than himself at work. Great leaders are not created in comfort. They're forged when things are hard. When stepping forward cost you something. With a 250th anniversary of America right around the corner, this is a powerful way to market.

Take your family, take your kids, your grandkids, and connect them to the story that started all of this. See Young Washington in theaters July 3rd. Tickets available now, angel.com slash young Washington. And there is a report that came out yesterday. We talked about it yesterday, but I just, I sat with it yesterday, and I, I have a lot to say. I have a lot to say. It is about the rape gangs of the Pakistanis and the Islamists that are in England.

And remember, this is all just a conspiracy theory until this came out, and now it is an absolute fact. and what is happening here Starmor is saying we have to protect the children from going where they just have been quarter of a million children he's now saying we have to care about the well-being of our children by banning access to social media and having access to everyone's phone and look for data on their phone that could be damaging these people are out of control and I want to I want you to do me a favor. I just would love for you to just set aside a few minutes and listen to this message that I prepared for you last night before I went to bed. First, let me tell you about super sure.

Most small business owners have the same secret fantasy, you know, just getting through the entire week without having to deal with some new administrative headache. I mean, wouldn't that be amazing? Seriously, you know, a week where nothing raises your blood pressure. Unfortunately, when it comes to business insurance, a lot of companies operate. the same way. Everything is so much more complicated than it needs to be. Too many forms, too much jargon, too many phone calls, too much time on hold. I'm just trying to find out if we're covered for this. Okay, that's it. Please hold. That's why I like SuperSure. They built an entire platform around making business insurance simple.

Paid for by SuperSure insurance agency LLC, a licensed insurance agency. I want you to take a minute. I don't want you to think about numbers. I don't want you to think about policy. I don't want you to think about them over there. What I want you to do is,

I just want you to think about one girl. She's 12 years old. Just one. Grown man picks her up. He drives her drunk to a graveyard. He then pours whiskey down her throat. She's 12. And then he violently rapes her.

When he's done, he then takes the empty whiskey bottle and forces it inside of her until it shatters inside of her body. Then he dumps her. What does she do? She walks herself to a hospital, all alone, glass inside of her. The people in that emergency room, they remove the glass.

They then discharge her. And not one of these people ask the only question a human being should ask. Who did this to you? This same girl is found over and over and over by the police. In cars, grown men, every single time the police let the men drive away. One day an officer stops her on the street. She says, officer, please hear me, please. She tells him everything.

You know what he says to her? Nothing I can do about it, walks on. Her mom finds out, calls the police to report her missing. She tries to describe the men, and the person on the phone, says, and I am quoting from the inquiry's record, don't call them Asian. That's racist.

Still quoting, you should just be glad your child is being taught a different culture. End quote. One occasion, an officer drives that little girl back to the very house where she's being raped, drops her off,

and quoting from the inquiry, tells the men inside to, quote, Have fun. Take a deep breath for just a second. Take a deep breath. This is not just one girl. The inquiry now in Britain estimates a quarter of a million children have gone.

250,000 children have gone through this in at least 149 different towns all across Great Britain. It's been happening for decades. And the pattern is exactly the same. A child tells the truth to a teacher, to a nurse, to a constable, to a social worker. And every single institution that exists for the single purpose of protecting that child, instead handed her back to the abusers. Because someone, somewhere, up the chain, decided that fear of being called a racist was worth more than that girl's body.

everything that is happening with the Somalians in Minnesota, you would rob us blind. And that is an awful thing. And they should all go to jail. This is children. You're turning a blind eye to children. This isn't a failure. A failure is an accident.

This was a choice made 250,000 times by people. people who were paid by the public to make the opposite choice. I sat with this story all day yesterday and I, oh my gosh, I just couldn't take it. And then I started writing and I thought, why am I writing this? Nothing's going to change. And I was blackpilled. And I've been fighting that all for the last 24 hours. Let me just ask you a question.

This is the only question it really matters. If that were your daughter and the police knew and the school knew and the high hospital knew and the council knew and they all decided that their own comfort was worth more than her life, what would you do? What would you become? I don't even want to think about it. I'm afraid of what I'd become. I read this story and I look at England. I say, you don't need another election. You don't need another review. You need a revolution. God help me for even thinking that. I pray that it is a revolution at the ballot box. I pray to God they can fix it without a real revolution.

And I mean that with everything in me. But you have to understand what's true. A government that does this to its own children? Oh my gosh, has put itself on a very short leash. Or it would have once in a country that actually remembered who it was and remembered what government was supposed to do. And then I catch myself. Does the honest question isn't, would their government be on a short list?

The honest question is, would ours, would we even pull that leash? Because before we get too comfortable pointing across the ocean, turn around here for a second. In 2024, the United States government, our own inspector general, not a punnant, not a podcast, the government investigating itself, found that we had, quote, lost more than 300,000 children, we let walk across our border and handed them to sponsors, we never bothered to vet. The administration, this administration, now puts that number placed with the unvetted stranger by the Biden administration closer to 450,000 children. Children handed in some cases directly to smugglers, to traffickers, to the exact kind of men I just described. As of this week,

investigators say they have located about 146,000 of them. Thank you. Thank you. But sit with that subtraction here for a second. That means right now, while you're driving to work or wherever you are, while I'm talking to you, nearly 300,000 American soil children are somewhere. We don't know. Some of the kids we found 27 are already dead. Sponsors have been arrested for raping the children day after day. Some of these children raped up to six different times by six different men

every single day. Let me ask you, where's the outrage? Where are the marches? Where's the wall-to-wall coverage? If I hear Jeffrey Epstein's name one more time, I'm going to explode. This is not a foreign inquiry. This is us. This is now, and this is barely topic number 10. I don't want to be the one that talks to you about this stuff. I don't. As I was putting these notes down for me to talk to you today,

my aura ring. My wife has made me wear a stupid aura ring. Got to control your stress. I'm reading, I'm writing this. And my alarm goes off on my phone and it says, are you doing yard work? No, I'm sitting my fat ass on a couch and I'm typing stuff out. I'm making notes about this.

Hard work. And I was stressed because I didn't know. I don't know how to make an impact. I really don't. I don't know why we're not screaming. Be honest with yourself. Is it because the administration that lost these children had a little D next to its name? And so a certain kind of person on our side of the aisle has decided this is just a handing talking point,

but not an actual five alarm emergency. Is it because the president that did this has a D after their name and that's your side? And so you better not say anything. Is it because the press took one look at this story, this size, and told truthfully, realized that it indicts all of the wrong people. And so they just let it die. Which is it? America?

I want to know. I really want to know. You know, for a generation, we bash the Catholic Church. And I'm not going to bash the Catholic Church. Catholic Church was bashed enough. We all know what it is. They were bashed rightfully so in many cases. What was done to the children was monstrous.

And the truth had to come out. But let me ask you with a straight face, what makes this any different? What makes this any different? How much of that bashing was just because it was a church? Because I don't hear a lot of bashing going on about either one of these countries. I want you to think about this. Who's who here?

The priest who abused, he's always the one easy to blame. Okay, he always was. In this story, the priests are the Muslim men. They're the predators. They're the ones in the dock. Name them, every one, every single one of them, and put them in jail.

But our governments are doing the same thing that the Catholic Church was doing. Catholic Church wasn't brought to its knees because of the predators. the pedophiles exist in every institution on earth. The church was destroyed because of the bishop, because the bishop knew, the bishop kept silent. The bishop didn't stop it.

He just moved the priest to another parish and told everybody to shut your mouths. And then the next, and then the next parish, and then the next parish. And when it was finally dragged into the light, the bishop offered window dressing, an apology, a committee, a statement. They did nothing.

So, I'm not bashing the Catholic Church here. That's already happened. I'm asking you, look at the doctors who remove the glass from this girl. They didn't ask a single question. The nurses who treated the diseases and the glass made no-call. The officers who let the men drive away. The judges, the care workers, the councils, the bureaucrats that handed a child to a trafficker and filed the paperwork.

Tell me, tell me, what? What is a single one of them have that the bishop didn't have? What are they but the men who moved the priest to the next parish and called it a job well done? Here's my prediction I'd love to be wrong. When this is fully exposed, will the hospitals, the police, the agencies, the government do any more than the bishop did? Nope. An apology, a committee, a statement, window dressing, and the machine grinds on. This is the kind of abuse that revolutions were meant for.

God help us not on the street, but a ballot revolution. It should be loud, it should be clear. Throw every official, every party, every name attached to any of this stuff until the people who run our institutions understand very clearly all the way deep into the marrow of their bones that the public is not afraid of them. You work for us. You're here to protect our children. but I haven't named the worst yet

because if the doctors and the police are the bishops, then who sits at the papal level of this cover-up? Give me 60 seconds, I'll be right. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. You know that old TV static screen, the one, the color bars and the piercing tone, boop, that's what it feels like living with pain all the time, doesn't it?

Not a scream, just constant nagging, signal in the background of everything you do. And when it's there, you know, you wake up, when you stand, you know, when you sit, you know, when you try to just be present with the people you love, it's there over and over and over again. You get used to it. You tune your life around it, less movement, fewer outings, lower expectations. But relief factor exists for people who refuse to make that trade. It's a daily supplement, not a drug formulated to support your body's natural response to inflammation, which is the major source of the pain that we live with every single day. Over a million people have tried the relief factor and two-thirds of them got on to order more and I'm one of them.

We're celebrating 250 years of independence, become independent from pain yourself. A special price on relief factor, the three-week quick start. It's $17.76. $1776 for your happiness, pain-free. 1776, three-week quick start. Ready for you now. Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com, 1-800 for relief. 1-800, the number four relief.

10 seconds, station ID. So who held the real power? Who held the real power to end all of this with a single honest week of coverage? But instead decided to protect the institution and are still doing it today. It's the media. They were the ones that covered up. They knew about Epstein. They covered it up.

The press is the biggest fit. They are the Pope in this scenario. none of this could have happened if they had been true to their one and only mission to tell the people the truth. None of it would have had. The grooming gangs needed silence to survive. The press manufactured that silence

and make no mistakes. Oh, make no mistake. They are high priests. They serve a God. It's not the God I know. Their God is a God of power, of control, of progressivism, of globalism. It's a religion of lies and in the end a religion of death. Because look at what it costs.

It's being paid for now in children. That is their offering, our children on their altar. So enough is enough. I don't care where you are in the world. We the people must stand up and demand better. If I hear one more thing about Jeffrey Epstein and you're not tying it also to what's happening in England and you're not also saying, what the hell did Joe Biden do? Why haven't we found these people? Thank you Trump administration for at least finding 146. At least you're out there looking for them. Enough of the politics. 500,000 children here, 250,000 there. Those are the ones we know about. I'm going to point one more finger and this is the hardest one to point because it points back at me and you. Are we really any different than the English that I've just spent 20 minutes condemning?

The ones who sat and knew and decided it was somebody else's problem, well, we can't do anything because we're just, you know, what? Citizens? Knowing what we know, sitting where we're sitting, doing what we're doing, which is what, exactly, Really what? I'm asking myself that question. What is it, Glenn, you do? I do a monologue. We say the Epstein case is the greatest evil of our age, and it is evil. It is. But understand the scale of what I'm putting in front of you. Epstein was one man in one network. This is hundreds of thousands of children on two continents, whom the state itself, the very thing we built to protect them, delivered him to their abusers. How do you even compare that? One is a monstrous crime. The other is an entire civilization quietly deciding which one of its children are worth protecting and deciding, well, it's not these. So where do we do?

Where do I land on this? Because this story cannot be a Republican story or a Democratic story. It just has to be a true story. So what do we do? I'll tell you in a minute. NMLS-182334. NMLS Consumer Access.org. APR for Ritz in the 5 starts at 6.799.

And I want you to share it with everybody you know. Anybody you think still has a grasp on their soul. And I don't know the answer. But I see trouble coming and I am blowing my trumpet. You know, there's something that Jesus said that condemns all of us. in this horrific story that is coming out of England. 250,000 children have been raped by these rape gangs from these illegals and the Islamists,

and they've done nothing about it. We've lost, under Biden administration, we just lost, misplaced, about 500,000 children. Don't know where they are. We found 146,000 of them. Trump has. They set out to look for them. They found out that we were just giving them to anybody,

and now these children are being found, raped time after time after time, day after day after day. There's something that Jesus said that really condemns all of us, I fear. He said, whoever harms one of these little ones, one of these children, it would be better for that man to have a millstone hung around his neck and drowned in the depth of the sea. Think of this. This is the gentlest man who ever lived. The one who said, turn the other cheek.

The guy who forgave the men driving nails into. to his own hands. That man looked out and found one thing that was so unforgivable. He reached for the image of a stone tied around the neck and a body sinking into the sea. And what was that one thing? The abuse of a child. I want you to know, I condemned me. I condemned me first. I had a hard time making these notes and thinking about it. I mean, I talked to my wife about it for an hour last night. I called a friends and talked to them. And I said, I don't know, I don't know how to do this. Because I don't know what the answer is. I do know that there are people that should be on this 24-7,

so I have a question for those people. I have a question of the men of the cloth. Where the hell are you? Where are our pastors and our priests and our rabbis? Where are the pulpits? A quarter of a million children raped in England while every institution looked away. Hundreds of thousands of children handed to traffickers on our own soil

while the people who run our country filed all the paperwork for it. And the single most explicit warning Christ ever gave is being violated on an industrial scale in our lifetime, in our towns. And the house of God is so quiet, it is staggering. I know you know the story because you preach it every year.

Man's beaten, left it half dead in a ditch. Who walks past him? Not the criminals. They're already gone. Who walks past him? pastor, it's the priest, it's the Levite, it's the religious professionals, the credential, the robe, the respectable. They see the bleeding man and they cross to the other side of the road so they don't have to deal with it. You have preached this parable a thousand times. Did you ever think that maybe you were preaching it about you? Because I think that's where many of our pastors

and our priests and our rabbis are, they're on the other side of the road. You know, I say what I mean and I mean what I say. So let me say something. Are all of you over-educated, self-righteous, collar-wearing clerics, anything more than fundraisers, middle management, cowards and paper tigers? Is that all you are? Are you more worried about your title, your paycheck,

your tithing receipts, your building fund, you're standing in the community? if I say something I might offend. Jesus told you exactly what you are when you do this. He said the good shepherd will lay down his life for the sheep. But the hireling, the man who's only in it for the wage, the moment he sees the wolf coming, he runs. He leaves the sheep.

He runs because he never loved them in the first place. He loved the job. While you run, while you stay silent evil rampages. and what are you doing? Honestly, what are you doing? You're at your desk, polishing up another clever little sermon, three points in a poem that half your congregation is going to sleep through anyway. Do you honestly believe with what's going on in the world that the thing you're talking about next Sunday, the thing you're doing today is the thing that Jesus would be doing? His children are the most sacred among us. They're mutilating them, losing them, and raping them. them. But you're busy workshopping your Sunday talk while they're being devoured. You want to know why your church is so

empty? This is why. Real evil is on the hunt, and you don't address it. Our churches are a ship in a storm without a captain or a rudder. Martin Luther King, who is by far not a perfect person, by far, marched

for no less than what's happening to these children today. And do you remember what his great disappointment was? It wasn't the men with the dogs and the hoses. When he was sitting in a jail cell in Birmingham, he wrote the hardest words to the clergy, to the good, decent, educated white pastors who told him to be patient, to wait, don't make trouble.

He said he had almost concluded that the great stumbling block was not the obvious villain, but the moderate, the more devoted to order than to justice, the one who agreed with a goal in private and did nothing in public. He said in the end, we're not going to remember the words of our enemies. We will remember the silence of our friends. The silence, I'm not going to remember your Sunday sermon,

but I think we will remember the silence. That's what's being recorded. Not the screaming of the wicked. We expect that. But the silence of the shepherds, do you know why I fear Tommy Robinson might fail in his efforts in Great Britain? Not because he isn't right, not because he isn't smart,

but because England doesn't have a figure like Martin Luther King to model. The churches aren't there. The churches are literally working for the king. They don't believe the Bible is supreme. They don't even believe the Bible is true. They hide behind and empower their real king. And it ain't Jesus. it's King Charles.

How many of our pastor's priests and rabbis are hiding behind the government? How many of them will say this is a political matter? It's a state matter. It's not the church's place. Well, let me remind you who these children are. Okay? Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. Give Caesar his coin.

I don't know if you've noticed this pastor, but a child is not Caesar's coin. A child does not bear Caesar's. image, a child bears the image of God. Our children do not belong to the state. They never did. Caesar has no jurisdiction there. And any pastor who treats the mutilation or trafficking of God's children as somebody else's department has handed to Caesar the one thing Caesar was never permitted to Dutch. Look what you're spending your days on. All of our churches. We argue doctrine. and we argue the fine print.

We spend our strength on, I'm more righteous than you. My denomination is purer than your denomination. My theology is more correct than your theology. Well, that's because I know it's true because we're more righteous than they are. You've turned faith into a debating society while the wolves are emptying our nurseries.

James said faith without works is dead. Oh no, no, no. We've got the great... Faith without works! is dead. A faith that can argue theology or end times prophecy for three hours, but can't walk into the street for a raped child is a corpse in a nice suit. Try to outrun this one. Try to outrun it because it's in your own book. I read it. I know it. I take it sincerely. Ezekiel. The watchman on the wall. God says if the watchman sees a sword coming and doesn't

not blow the trumpet and the people die. The blood is on the watchman's hands, not the enemies, the watchmen's, you are posted on the wall. You see the sword, you saw it, you said nothing. So understand what's being written. If you continue to remain silent, if the church keeps its head down while the blood of innocence runs and the freedom that was exhausted to us to guard and to hand to those very children the next generation is lost, there's going to be a receipt for that failure

and your name is on that list. It'll be yours, it'll be mine, it'll be our churches, your church, my church. I'm not standing outside of this. I'm in it with you. And that's why I won't be quiet about it. So let me ask you, what's it going to take to get you off your self-righteous backside and lead? Not to riot, but to do what King did. to do what the abolitionist preachers did, to wake your people up and put them peacefully, prayerfully, immovably into the street, into the public square,

into the face of every official who looks away and not sit back down until every last one of these children have found, and every coward who enabled this is out of power. Wake up, for the love of the God you claim to serve. wake up. Your flock is being eaten by wolves. And you were given a staff for exactly this. It feels like every conversation about weight loss eventually turns to injections these days. I mean, you probably heard about all of that by now. There are a lot of commercials pretty much running around the clock. These results can be dramatic. But for a lot of people, you know, giving themselves a shot every week is suboptimal, you know, along with the potential side effects.

it's not something that's really appealing to a lot of people. It's one thing, of course, people do want to lose weight, but, you know, you really want to go that far? Do you really want to use that? Do you want to stick a needle in yourself to make that happen? Some people love that. Some people are real needle fiends, but most aren't, I would say. So the real question comes to you when he say, like, well, how, if I want to keep losing weight,

if I want to start losing weight, if I want to maintain weight loss, would I take a different approach? And that's where Lean comes in.

With a fit that creates natural movement and a wide leg that feels modern, not overwhelming.

Plus, that signature, wait, for this price, moment. Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg. That obviously was a very very... very personal and passionate topic for me. I had a really rough night last night. I got into that inquiry from England. I just didn't, I mean, every emotion that I could have I had. Maybe you should read it.

I mean, I don't normally recommend things that will just turn your hair white, but that is, I mean, that was so, if we don't act on this, you know, and I say we, that's England, but we have these problems too. And the only reason why the Epstein stuff is coming up is because it's political. That's why. This is a much bigger deal. And you can bring up Epstein. I agree with you.

That was an atrocity. I think people got away with murder. I think it's awful. It's awful. This stuff is proven. It's happening. There's still children to save. and nobody's talking about it.

You know, I put on a hat today, a ball cap, mainly because my hair is falling out so fast. I mean, I just, I mean, it's shocking, but I put a hat on today. I picked this hat for a reason, because it says it's Bonhofer, not to act, is to act. And I didn't put it on today for, you know, or I put it up for me. because the hardest thing I had last night to deal with was,

so, Glenn, what are you going to do about it? And I've been thinking about this. And I know I have to follow the story. I know I have to continually bring it up. But I have to tell you, I have a shockingly small staff. And we are hiring so fast. But there are things that we just, we can't, I need people who are, who feel a calling to follow this story, to follow it in England and to follow it in America and show us the good things and the bad things.

There are things that we can do. But I would, I'd love to have an insider volunteer to even form a group that. that this is your passion because you have to have a passion for it. This is your passion and you're not going to let this one go. And I urge pastors to lead. To lead.

Where is the next Martin Luther King? Don't you see what's happening? People are going to violence. Only the pastors will be able to bring this and bring us back together and lead a movement in these dangerous times that is centered on the God. gospel of Jesus Christ and peace. Where are you? Keeping yourself and your family safe means being

prepared for situations that can put you or them in danger. It means being prepared for all the situations, you know, even those situations where deadly force is not needed. In fact, it's a real problem. There are more of those than you think. And if you're a gun owner, it's unfortunately easy to think a gun will provide you all the safety it needs, but you never pull a gun unless you're prepared to kill somebody. And I'm not in all situations, you know? But they can go bad, fast. There is a tool for this. It's the Burna launcher.

You know, I was just sitting here on the break, and I thought, there's so many problems going on in the world. I want to talk to you about the Iran deal today, give you a little more perspective on this, and tell you what I think it means for us, for our country, for the direction of the world. But I'm sitting here in the break, and I was thinking, what is, what's the answer to all of this?

What is the answer? I want to take you to my little small town. Because I think the answer lies there. I'll do that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. I started real estate agents I trust for a really simple reason. I got tired of watching people, you know, make one of the biggest financial decisions of their life with the wrong guide.

And I was one of those guys. You know, what we really want is a real estate agent who's been. been down the road before, who knows where the pitfalls are, they know what the problems are, and not all guides are equal. Somebody who knows the territory, you know, somebody just holding a map upside down and hoping for the best, they're not the same thing. When you're buying or selling a home, experience matters, negotiation matters, local market knowledge matters, integrity matters. Their listening skills matters. And this can all mean the difference being you getting in the right house, the wrong house, saving.

tens of thousands of dollars or losing tens of thousands of dollars. So we vet these people. We have great agents and we vet them so you don't have to. I mean, you have to interview them. I want you to call. We'll make a recommendation. You contact us. I don't charge you for that recommendation.

You vet and you decide, am I going to hire this person or not? But these people, we think, are really, really good. They'll help you buy or sell your next home and do it the right way. It's real estate agents. I trust.com. That's real estate agents. I trust. dot com.

You know, the answers that we're looking for, we think they have to be complex, but they're really not. They're really not. 250 years ago, a group of men sat in a hot Philadelphia room, and they signed their names to a piece of paper,

and they signed away their safety. They knew that most likely they were going to die. It was a death warrant. And they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. And they meant every word. I know it because I've been doing a lot of research on the signing of the declaration. I've got some things coming up in the next couple of weeks that I've learned so much about these men that I can't wait to share with you.

I'm sitting here in a small town just outside. I'm actually in a smaller town than this small town, Preston. But it's one of the neighboring towns. And it's just different here. It's just different. Small towns are different all around America. You know, they are. And they couldn't have imagined our founders,

this small little town in southeastern Idaho with the bare river running cold through the mountains and the alfalfa and the grains stretching out green and gold under a sky that is so big. Sometimes it just makes you feel small, in all the best ways. It makes you just feel small. And while our founders couldn't have imagined Preston or even Idaho,

this is what they fought for. This is what they were fighting for. These small little towns, our answers lie there. In a few weeks, there is something I look forward to every year. It's called that famous Preston Knight Rodeo. And it was the first rodeo ever in the United States to be under electric lights. That's why they call it famous. It's not the biggest rodeo.

It is great. I just love it. I love it. You go there and you can hear the shoots rattle and the announcer crackle over the loudspeakers and the gate clang open. And then a 2,000-pound bull just comes running out of the shoot with, you know, some 20-something kid riding the wrath of God. And he's just trying to hold on, you know, for eight seconds with nothing but a rope and a prayer

and more nerve than sense. And he bucks off and he's on the ground. And thank God that kid gets up and he dusts off his hat. And he laughs and looks at his friends, nods at his friends. And then he does it again. that's America gang that's America that's who we are we get bucked off and we get back up again we've forgotten our small towns and that's where the answer lies you know in Preston it's still a town that goes quiet on Sunday and the fields rest and there's no machinery that's turned

on and the stores lock their doors and they didn't pass a law to make it so they're just people have decided that some things are are bigger than you know commerce and making money one in seven belongs to the Lord and to the family and it's a kind of stillness that happens in at least this small town that lets a soul catch its breath

after a busy week and that's something that the frantic world has forgotten but out in our small towns they never did we remember the basics you know I love living in a farming community because when a man's crop doesn't come in,

when the hail takes the wheat or the back goes out or cancer comes to your house, the neighbors don't form a committee. They just show up. And the combines that you didn't ask for just gloriously appear in your field. The casseroles that you didn't request, just fill your kitchen.

Nobody's there. Nobody's making a speech about it. Nobody posts about it. but they just do it because that's what you do. And then they go home before you can even thank them properly. There's no government program that can do that. Nothing the government can do can even come close to that. It's grown like everything good out here in the soil.

It's been worked by the same families for generations. And the strange yet beautiful thing that I'm just becoming to, just getting to the place to where I can see it, the youth in these towns, they just can't wait to leave. They count the days. They lie at bed at 16, staring at the ceiling, certain at life, real life, big life, is happening somewhere else, somewhere in a city with bright lights and no curfew and no chores at 5 a.m. And so they go, and we let them go.

And then they go out into the big, wide world, and something funny happens to them. They find the lights, and they find them cold. might take them a while. They find the crowds and they find it, they find themselves lonely in the crowd. And one day, they're driving home from the airport, coming home for Christmas.

They're driving down this road, they could drive blindfolded, and they crest that last hill. They see that valley that they couldn't wait to get out of, just lying there in front of them. and something in their chest just cracks open. And they realize the big life, the real life,

was here the whole time. And they spend years trying to get back. And some make it, the lucky ones, make it back home. Because what these small towns all across America raise, it's not crops, not really. These small towns, these small little farming communities, they raise the kind of man that it doesn't ask, what's in it for me. They raise the kind of kids that fix a fence, not because somebody's watching

and not really even because somebody asked them to. They raise the kind of men who keep their word when nobody is watching, keeping their word when it costs them something. These small towns raise the kind of people when everything is falling apart and the path forward is dark and nobody would blame them for quitting. They just go and do the next right thing. and then the next one, and then the next one, and the next one. No reward, just the quiet, stubborn, unglomerous decency that built this country one honest day at a time. We're looking for answers. Don't I have fixed things?

Look to the cowboy. Look to the farmer. look to the rancher with the cracked hands and worn out Bible at a flag and a flag on a porch that he salutes every time like he means it because he does we look for our answer in these marbled halls of Washington America was not built in those marbled halls they built it in fields just like the one outside of my front porch in towns just like Weston and in Preston, Idaho. They built it with one callous handshake at a time.

The men in Philadelphia, they lit the fire. But people like you, you're the ones who have kept it burning for 250 years. You already have the answer. All you have to do is just keep living it. Don't give up. There's a study that's out. Came from CNN. They did some research.

search on America and our 250. I'm going to show you what they found 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. There is a reason the founding fathers didn't say life, liberty, and, you know, whatever your cell phone company decides to support this week. They understood that, you know, something I think that we've been reminded about over the last few years, principles matter. The organizations you support matter. The people you do business with matter. The decisions you make in your everyday life. They have consequences. They reach far beyond what you expect. That's one of the reasons I appreciate Patriot Mobile. Yeah, they provide great wireless service. Yes, they give you access to the nation's major networks, but they also put their money where their mouth is. They support the causes of

faith and family and freedom and the sanctity of life or first responders and constitutional rights that made this country exceptional in the first place. In other words, they're not just trying to sell you a phone plan. They're trying to help you preserve the values that made America worth building in the first place.

Let me tell you about this poll I got from CNN. Here's CNN, play cut three, here's CNN talking about Democrats and what they found about Democrats in the 4th of July. Listen to this. What does July 4th mean to you? Celebrate America, friends and family time. Among Republicans, what do you see? You see the clear majority say it's a time to celebrate America, 65%.

Among Democrats, however, the plurality disagree. Look at that. What do you see, friends and family time at 42%. versus just 24% who say that what it means most of them is to celebrate America. What do they say about the flag? Even on the basic level of flag, look at this, look at how we have an increasing polarization on this issue. We'll display the flag on July 4th, the American flag.

Back in July of 2001, look at this. You had 68% of Republicans, 65% of Democrats saying that they would, in fact, display the flag on July 4th. You come over to this side of the screen, Republicans basically are where they were, 25 years ago, right? 64%. But look at that Democratic percentage. Absolutely plummeting. Just 27% of Democrats say they will in fact display the flag on July 4th. What about this idea? Are you proud to be an American? Extremely or very proud to be an American? Again, look at this divide, a growing divide on this question. Back in January of 2001, 90% of Republicans, 85% of Democrats. This was after a very contentious

2000 election, keep in mind, right, with George W. Bush coming into the White House. You come over to this side of the screen in 2026. Look at this. Again, the Democratic percentage absolutely plummets to just 29% of Democrats say they're extremely are very proud to be an American. That Republican percentage, the exact same. 90 and 90, the Democratic percentage, what is that? That's basically a third of the level that it was just 25 years ago.

That's shocking. You know what I did with my wife yesterday? My wife and I, we went out. We went to Walmart. We bought, what was it? 350 two-foot flags. And we put them on our fence posts all along the highway, all the way down the highway.

If you're driving by our ranch, there's like 300 plus flags that we put up. out front. And you know what? I got that idea from some other buddies, some other people's ranch down the street. They did it too. And then I saw that going to the airport. Somebody's farm, they did it in another town. I'm like, felt good to see that. 25% say they'll fly the American flag on July 4th. What the hell? You don't, you don't save a country. You don't have a country. if you're not celebrating the day the country was born. You don't have to be proud of Donald Trump.

You don't have to be proud of, you know, Joe Biden or whoever else is in offices. You don't have to be, that's that isn't the question. You're proud to be an American? Damn right, I am. Damn right. I am not proud of everything that we've done. I'm not proud of everything we're doing now.

I'm not proud of everything that we've done in the past. I think we made some huge mistakes. But you know what? I'm not some teenage. girl that is like, oh, I like him because he has muscles. I have a deep relationship with my country. I know the flaws of my country. I got it.

I got it. But I also know who the character is. I also know who the people are. I urge you. Celebrate the Fourth of July, unlike you've ever celebrated it before. Do not make it about family and hot dogs and fireworks. Pick somebody in the family right now to talk about the meaning of it. of the country.

Find somebody in your family that can do that. Study it yourself. Talk about the Declaration. Read the Declaration of Independence. Read the first draft. It'll blow your mind. Read the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. Have your kids talk about something about the country.

Learn something new about the country. It's always bothered me that Bruce Springsteen, born in the USA, an anti-American song, is how we watch fireworks every year. and then we just all go home. Find something in your community that is teaching and celebrating America. I'm going to Washington, D.C. with my family. We're taking the whole family out to Washington, D.C.

And I'm just going to sit on a blanket just like everybody else, right in the middle of the mall and watch the fireworks and listen to the music. I'm going to go to the museums. I'm going to see the clean fountains. I'm going to see Washington, D.C., the way it should be, where you can be proud of how clean it is. I'm going to go see the fountain. documents. I've seen them a thousand times.

My kids haven't. And my kids, what I say, we're going to the National Archives. Dad, we've seen the Declaration of Independence. Haven't seen it like this. And you know what? I think last time you saw it, you were nine. Time for a refresher. They'll remember it.

All those things that you used to, somebody was telling me just last night, their folks used to take them, you know, for a two-week, you know, camping trip. And they had fish every day. And they were like, Dad, we got to fish. Yeah, we got to eat.

We're going to have fish. They'd fish every day. And these two girls, they hated it. While she can't still does not really necessarily appreciate fish, and I can understand that. She sees that whole experience in a completely different way today. She appreciates her family, her parents, the small town, all the stuff. She's one of them.

She was like, I can't wait to get out of this town. and she's living in a small town again. She's lived a life. Celebrate, celebrate. Let me go to Rebecca quickly. Hi, Rebecca. You're on the Glenbeck program. Good morning.

I have a dear friend who lives in Preston, who has a ranch, and she says that she might be able to take your dogs so that when you come back, you can see them, and then you don't even have to give them away. wait a minute see this is something i love you uh rebecca hold on we'll get your phone number um my wife found two dogs and now they're living in our house and uh gosh darn it i'd love to have two dogs no i wouldn't no i wouldn't i've had enough dogs enough dogs die on me i've had my fill of that uh we're looking for a good home and so rebecca you'll have to talk to my wife but thank you.

The dogs thank you too. International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, sometimes the most important relationship are the ones that have stood the test of time. We live in a world where alliances come and go. Political movements, you know, they rise and fall. And today's headlines are tomorrow's forgotten stories. But for thousands of years,

there has been a connection between Christians and the Jewish people that have endured through wars and empires and persecution and incredible change. That connection isn't just political, it's spiritual, it's rooted in a shared history and shared understanding that God's promises matter. That's why I admire the work of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and they provide the food and the shelter and the emergency assistance to Jewish people who need the help wherever they are, especially during times of crisis, especially now when I can't even imagine what it feels to be Jewish. I can't imagine what it feels like to be Jewish today. The things of like, is this happening again, really? Is there anybody with us? stand with the Jewish people.

You don't have to, that doesn't mean you have to stand with Israel. Stand with the Jewish people. Bless them, help them. Remind them they're not alone. As America celebrates their 250th anniversary, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews reflects on the friendship between us.

But can we please play cut for? This is Joe Biden at Jay Leno's garage. A recent episode. Listen to this. Well, the other thing I was able to do, I made sure there could be no oil drilling off the East Coast, the West Coast, and the 150 miles off of the Gulf of Mexico.

He could do them with all the life detection, too. No more windmills. Yeah. Because they killed birds. Yeah, give me a figure. Do I need to comment? I'm going to, but do I need to comment on this? You're talking to Jay Leno, a guy,

you're driving a gas-powered corvette, you know, the one that's set next to the classified documents in your garage since 1968, which takes gasoline and oil, and you're talking to a guy who loves the combustion engine, and you're saying, yeah, I don't think they got rid of all. the oil. Okay. And there's one other thought and then I'll move on. I promise. What the hell is he doing?

What is he doing? Why is he on this tour? Just go away. Please, just go away. Why? Why? You're trying to sell your wife's book? I mean, that is an abomination. What are you doing on tour? Why are you going to Jay Leno's? Why did you take your car? You didn't drive it across the country. Why did you ship your Corvette all the way from Delaware to Los Angeles, California to be on an episode of Jay Leno's garage? What the, I mean, okay. Anyway, let's go to the current president. He's had some thoughts on Iran, and a lot of people are very upset, and we've been going through the MOU, this understanding between us and Iran.

there is no deal yet. It is a signed memo of understanding. I've had those two and then you get to the contract part and you're like, no, that's not our understanding. But anyway, we'll see how that works out. But everybody's upset about it. Let me just give you a couple of things. First, let me just start with Donald Trump.

Here's Donald Trump. Cut one. Listen to this. If they don't honor the agreement or some things aren't even mentioned in the agreement, it's a memorandum of understanding, but we have an understanding of certain things without writing it. And if they don't honor that, we'll probably go back to bombing them until they honor it, you know?

It's amazing what bombs can do. It is amazing what bombs can do. Yes, that's true. It's amazing what bombs can do. So anybody who is worried about this thing, first of all, I mean, well, let me, let me start here. Let me just give you a recap of where I stand on this thing. We've seen this movie before, okay?

Weak need agreements, terror, sponsoring regime only buys time. They rebuild and then they strike again. They're back up. What is enfolded with Iran this week is a slightly different story. I think this shows some backbone mixed with realism. Okay. Why didn't we get a good deal?

Why don't we get the deal we all wanted? Well, because the IRGC is in control. Donald Trump was hoping that when it would collapse and they'd kill all those guys, that maybe some reasonable people would be put in. Reasonable people were not put in. You're dealing with the IRGC. You're dealing with the 12ers. And the only way to stop those guys is to kill them all.

And the only way you can do that is by putting boots on the ground and then kill them until they stop and then go hunt them out, door to door, and hang them. Okay? That's the way you did it in Nazi Germany. That's what's going to have to happen in Iran. Otherwise, you're going to be dealing with the same regime over and over and over and again.

Okay? I don't have a taste for that. I don't want to do that. You don't want to do that. Nobody wants to do that. So what do you want him to do? Well, he shouldn't have gone in the first place. Well, do they have the nuclear weapon?

Are they close enough that they could drop a nuclear weapon on Israel or on us or put it at the tip of a ballistic missile? Nope. They're not. You know why? Because we destroyed them all. We hope. But we destroyed them all. Then we destroyed their ability to make those things because we blew up those factories.

So what do they have to do? They have to build factories. Well, that's a big deal so they can be right back at it. Really? Really? Have you been listening at all to what's happening in America with our factories? You know why we're having problems with, let's say, we're not the leader in tech and, you know, chips? We should be the leader in chips.

Taiwan is the leader in chips, but we don't make them here. Why? Because we don't have the factories. You know why? Because we didn't build them. You know why we're not going to have them for another five to eight years? because they're expensive to build, hard to build. Do you know why we don't have, you know, they kept saying,

we gave all of our shells away. We gave all of our shells away to Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, we just kept doing it. We depleted. Why is this a problem? Because we can't make them fast enough because we don't have the factories. So just put it into perspective when you're listening to these boneheads telling you, well, they can't build the things.

They have to build the factories first, then they can build them. So you have delayed them. I don't want to kick the can down the road kind of thing. I'd rather deal with it now in my lifetime. But Americans don't. They won't do it. They won't not only put boots on the ground. They won't tolerate gas prices at $5 a gallon.

And forget about the American people. How do you expect to get a good deal when you're negotiating and your side is on television passing bills that say, the president's got to stop this war with Iran. Do you think they went to the negotiating table thinking, oh boy, he's really got us? No. They went to the negotiating table saying,

this guy's going to fold. He has to fold because he has no place to go. You know, you want one side, you have the call for just pressure, pressure, pressure, squeeze him hard, squeeze him hard, squeeze him hard. Put boots on the ground. And the other is, no, no, no, no, no, no. We can't do any of that. We can't do any of that.

So what carried the day? Trump let the voice of the public take the lead in this while keeping the harder line as insurance if the regime starts cheating, which they will. And it's smart positioning. Success, he gets the victory. If it unravels, the administration could go to a tougher approach. It's easy.

By the way, he's also done another thing. You notice this whole time. He had Marco Rubio in there, hammer him, hammer him, hammer him, hammer him. And he had J.D. Vance going, wait a minute, let's slow down. Now, whose name now is being attached to this peace deal? Whose name? It's J.D. Vance. If it works, J.D. Vance gets the credit. If it doesn't, Marco Rubio will get the credit for being the hammer man.

He's also just set up. He's setting up for you to decide who the president. should be next. He's giving you two clear options. One is the hammer man. One is the peace guy. Let's see which one works. Okay. Did we get what we wanted? No. No. Did we get Obama? Definitely not. Unlike the old Obama era giveaway, we didn't walk in empty handed. Okay. We went in after systematically dismantling the heart of their war machine and the factories. That changes absolutely everything. back then we just gave them cash, just dump trucks full of cash.

This time, it's going to take them a while to be able to build the industrial base back. They don't have it. Money doesn't fix things overnight. Time is also working against them. Now,

time is working for them. They get a pause, but so do we. So do we. So did our partners. All right. Tough hand to play. I think this administration understands, actually understands leverage. They disrupted the leadership. They killed a lot of them.

Military power guttered. Nuclear ambitions set way back. And then a diplomatic opening built on a demonstrated consequence. Okay, good. We're in a dangerous, dangerous world gang. Military force has created the conditions for smarter talks, not endless entanglement, not naive trust, strength that opens doors instead of begging at the door. Dangerous world. We're still in it. We're still in it. Am I thrilled with it? No. Do I think it's the best we could have gotten?

Probably. Probably. And that's for a myriad of reasons. But we're not weak. We're operating from reality. We're prioritizing our interests. And we're not repeating the deadly mistakes of the past, which is, just go in, put boots on the ground. Nope. Nope. Get what you can. And quite honestly, with this weak-ass Congress, with Democrats who really, in many ways,

almost seem to be rooting for the Iranians to win, with so many podcasters taking all of the bait from the Iranians and all of their propaganda, and using that and everybody's screaming, Trump's got to stop, Trump's going to stop. I think this is a pretty good deal. I think we got a pretty good deal. It could have been a lot worse.

With all those factors, could have been a lot worse. That's what it is. Jason, where do you disagree? I don't think I disagree. I think that I'm at the point now where I want to see how the technicalities actually play out over the next 60 days.

There's a lot of things to iron out, specifically like ballistic missiles. J.D. Vance, you were just talking about, was just asked the question about the president talking about ballistic missiles. And he made a comment about how basically he was making the point that it's hard to negotiate some kind of curtailing of their missile program. But J.D. Vant said, quote, but we do expect that it's part of the final deal. They are not going to be able to build the kinds of missiles that can broadly threaten the entire world, which is pretty much what I thought the president meant at that as well. There will be some kind of ballistic missile monitoring. We just haven't gotten to a lot of the specifics yet.

And that's going to play out. And I think it's worth giving this time to see what actually happens. And it could all fall apart. I mean, we could be back to buying. Yep. You know, that's the good thing. It is not a peace deal. It is a pause.

We have an agreement. We have an understanding. you are going to do this, you're going to do that. You stop doing that. We're going to continue to bomb you. I mean, it's not great. It's not great. But as I said earlier today, you've got to look into also the fact that the people were done with it.

And we were paying, you know, $5 a gallon gas. I paid, what was it, $5.25 for gas the other day? My gosh, it took my breath away. And I, you know, I have a better job than most people. I can't imagine what it's like just being a regular family. That just can't go on. And he said yesterday, we had to do something or we'd go into, you know, it could mean global economic collapse.

And he's right. He's right. You know, if they would have made things much, much worse, if we wouldn't have been able to keep that price of oil down, it could have been really bad. So anyway, all right, let me tell you about rough greens. Dogs have a remarkable ability to make themselves part of the family, You know, one day they're a puppy that you brought home.

The next thing you know, they have a, they have their own spot on the couch. And you're like, what do you do? What happened here? That's my spot. They have their own daily routine, their family. And the weird part is you wouldn't have it any other way. Most dog owners want to give their dogs the best life they can, the best walks, the best scratches behind the ears, you know, the best care. That's why so many people are adding rough greens to their dog's food.

Common sense ain't all that common. but around here it's still standard equipment Glenn Beck returns in a minute you know Jason and I have been going back and forth off the air this morning since you know five or six o'clock about the Iran deal and I think we're in lockstep

but Jason I want you to give some more specific analysis what you were just giving to the insiders here on Torch Yeah, so there's been a lot of instant reaction on this by a lot of armchair, you know, experts and analysts and a lot of negative feedback. And to me, my perspective is it's hard to even respond to this because a lot of this is hidden in Treasury Department legalese, a bunch of other sentences that make, just make everything very, very vague. And I pointed to the insiders, specifically 0.7.11, those deal with the unfreezing of assets and the lifting of sanctions.

Now, if we look at point number 11, which goes into unfreezing of funds and assets, everyone's worried about, as they should be, you know, releasing funds, and especially the fact at the bottom of the paragraph in point 11, it says that Iran can do whatever they want with those funds. That sounds bad, but you're missing the middle sentence within point 11, which states, quote, the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran will mutually agree on the procedures related to the release of these funds during the negotiations. Now, that is Treasury Department legal talk to say that, look, there's not even a procedure to do this yet. We're not sure what it is. We're calling it performance-based. Iran definitely

doesn't want their people to hear performance-based. They don't want the IRGC to focus on that, because that sounds like they have to give up major concessions. Well, the fact of the matter is they do have to have concessions. They do have to give up a lot. What could that be? Maybe no tolls. Maybe looking into their ballistic missile program, a lot of the issues that we have that were not brought up in this because it can't really in an MOU. But those are the kinds of restrictions here that most people aren't even really looking at, but that is going to be looked at over the next 60 days. Will they actually get 60 days out of this? Who knows? But the agreement doesn't even really stipulate that. It just stipulates that, look, we got some procedures. We got some things to iron.

out. We're not releasing funds. We're not taking off sanctions at the drop of the hat. I don't want to be Pollyanna, but I also don't want to be Black Pillook. Yeah. Is there a possibility that this MOU is this vague because he cannot, Iran cannot handle a loss. Iran has got to save face in their own country. And you can't write down all the things. I mean, is that just being Pollyanna? Is that just being too, hopeful? I don't think so. I think that's the way these things usually work. I think, yeah, I don't think, if you put concessions on there

in other language, they're not going to agree to it. So I think it's vague on purpose. I hope you're right. I hope that's not. John Roberts has a plan.
