Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. Program. Well, hello, America. Welcome. It's Wednesday, which means everything is downhill from here.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And that has a different kind of meaning. When you look at the news of the day, especially the war headlines, yeah, it looks like it's all downhill from here. So we're going to get into that here in just a second. I want to give you some meaning behind all of the headlines because there's a lot going on with the war. The corruption that is happening in our country. Mike Lee is joining us here. I want to know which senators just don't want this thing to build. Just don't want, you know, the START Act to pass. I doubt he's going to give me names because he's too nice for that. But I'm going to do everything I can to squeeze them out of him because I want names.
Starting point is 00:03:45 I want to know who is standing against this besides Thune and. and Cornyn. Who's standing against it? All right, we get into that here in second. First, let me tell you about relief factors. Spring is here, summer's right around the corner. And for a lot of people, this time of the year is when you start looking at the yard and thinking about everything you want to do out there. Maybe it's a garden that you've been planning.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Maybe it's cleaning up the flower beds, trimming the hedges, or finally getting the yard back into shape after a long, long, long, long, long winter. There's something deeply satisfying about that kind of work, being outside, using your hands, seeing real progress by the end of the day. But maybe for you, the problem isn't motivation. Maybe it's pain. Maybe your back, your knees, your shoulders. They start objecting after, you know, just a few minutes or even a half an hour before the work is done.
Starting point is 00:04:32 That's one reason why so many people have decided to try Relief Factor. It was designed to help reduce everyday joint and muscle discomfort so you can actually stay active and do the things you really enjoy. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more. I'm one of them. begin your three-week quick start and see what relief factor can do for you call 800 for relief 800 the number four relief it's relief factor dot com oh my i got to just tell you just on a side note before we start i just looked up into the monitor and i saw myself and you have no idea what a horrible thing is uh that you have to look at yourself i mean you're looking at me so you know but imagine
Starting point is 00:05:13 you having to look at you looking like me every day it's not a it's not a play every day i look up at the monitor. I'm like, oh my gosh. So you might, this might be talking you out of joining torch because you do get the visuals along with it, which doesn't necessarily make this show all that much better. All right. Let me tell you about the headlines today. What's going on? The FBI now has quietly warned that Iran has been exploring the possibility of launching drones from a vessel positioned off the California coast. Well, good news. We have the Coast Guard. Oh, No, no, the Democrats have defunded DHS. So good luck with that one, Coast Guard. Good luck with that one, California. This is not theoretical warfare. This is the modern battlefield, asymmetric, deniable, and designed to bypass the strongest military on Earth.
Starting point is 00:06:08 At the same time, Iranian officials are promising what they call a painful response, and their commanders are warning civilians in parts of the Middle East to stay away from banks and economic centers. They are openly signaling that financial infrastructure is going to be treated now as a battlefield. Also, the cyber attacks have already begun. A group tied to Tehran has reportedly struck a major American medical company knocking the internal systems offline and seizing massive data sets. When banks and hospitals and shipping lanes and energy supplies all become targets, you're no longer talking about a traditional war. This is the war. This is the war of the future. You're looking at a systems war, and this is the kind of war that aims to destabilize the entire society rather than defeating an army. Then let's throw in the
Starting point is 00:07:03 strait of Hormuz, the latest on that. Roughly one-fifth of the world's oil supply now comes through that 20-mile corridor of water every single day, a fifth, 20% of everything. For decades, it has been the most sensitive choke point in global trade. I mean, we have been guarding that since World War II. Saudi Arabia yesterday began warning of catastrophic consequences if shipping disruption continues. Iran is already threatening that oil could reach $200 a barrel if the conflict escalates. Those numbers are not abstract. They're not made up. They translate into a price of diesel that moves the food across our country.
Starting point is 00:07:51 They translate into airline tickets and heating bills and the cost of every product that relies on transportation. This is now something that we are in, whether you are for it or against, this cannot go on. Energy shocks are the fastest ways to push the global economy into recession and $200 a barrel. you're talking about complete global upheaval. You're looking at a possible reset of the economy and of the U.S. dollar and every other currency on Earth. Remember, I warned back in 2017-ish, I said the only things that really are left are assassinations and war. and we've had our assassinations, and we've had our assassination attempts,
Starting point is 00:08:43 and we're not done with that, I fear, but we are now in war. Meanwhile, vessel tracking shows that while Iran is threatening to cut off the oil to the west, millions of barrels are continuing to flow to China through the same waters. The diesel, that matters because it reveals the geopolitical fault lines
Starting point is 00:09:05 forming beneath the conflict, Energy supply is a strategic weapon, and nations are positioning themselves accordingly. And the United States and the G7 are now discussing naval escorts for shipping in the Persian Gulf. This is a step that begins to resemble the convoy system that were used during the World Wars. We're in a different world, gang. When the global economy requires warships to protect commercial shipping lanes, it tells you how, fragile the situation actually is. Now, Donald Trump is still saying that we're going to make short order of this. He has now said that anybody who is an Iranian or living on the coastline of Iran, you should
Starting point is 00:09:50 get out of there as soon as possible, which means we're just going to strafe that whole area. Now, inside of Iran, there are signs of real instability as well. Reports suggest the Revolutionary Guard may be pressuring clerics to install Khomeini as the next Supreme Leader. while he remains absent from public views, uh, view after, uh, his reported injuries.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Now I love this because remember we told you yesterday that, uh, he was, uh, he was, they, they put up a cardboard cut out of him. We found out, he said yesterday,
Starting point is 00:10:27 this might be an AI, but it looked really, really good. And I could believe this too, but that they put this, this, this, uh, cardboard cut out at a,
Starting point is 00:10:36 uh, an IRGC rally where he was supposed to be because they said he couldn't attend because he had some injuries, but nothing to worry about. Well, I don't know about that. So it was just a cardboard cut out. It was not real, turns out. However, he didn't show up for that because of injuries. Now, they said he just has a little boo-boo on his leg. The, I think it's the guardian is reporting today that he is in a coma. And he has a. has lost his leg after being seriously injured in air strikes. I would suggest if you're up for that role, you don't attend any meetings.
Starting point is 00:11:17 You might want to stay deep, deep, deep underground. But we don't know what the truth is on that yet. Now, there's one other thing that you need to know is we tie all of this stuff together to give you a real feel and sense of what's happening in the world. between November 21st and November 24th of last year, we are just finding out now that somebody walked into the one of the most famous military installations in the United States, Fort Campbell. That's the home of 101st airborne. And they walked out with four military drones.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Now, I don't know who actually goes in. in and steals from the 101st airborne, but a couple of guys did. By the 24th, they were seen, the last time they were seen was the 21st. By the 24th, they were all gone. We have security footage that shows the two suspects. Can we bring up there, there they are, there they are two guys. And they seem to be carrying guns. They're wearing hoodies.
Starting point is 00:12:35 balaclavas or baclavas, which I think I would rather be wearing baklava all over my face, myself, but whatever. And they're wearing gloves and they appear to be carrying rifles. Now, who goes in to the 101st Airborne carrying a rifle? Kind of a death sentence. How did they get in? How did they get out with four drones? We're not talking about the kind of drones, you know, that you buy, you know, at Best spy. These are, these drones are worth up to $100,000, $125,000. And the criminal division,
Starting point is 00:13:17 the criminal investigation division of the army has now just offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of these thieves. A 5,000, that's all we're doing, a 5,000. Let me, let me tell you why this is so important and worth maybe more than 5,000. for information. These are not hobby drones, okay? These are called, I think, Skydo or Skydo X10D autonomous reconnaissance drones. These are built specifically for government use. They're equipped with advanced cameras, thermal sensors, AI navigation systems. They are designed for surveillance and battlefield reconnaissance. So what you're seeing over and around, how we're tracking people how we're knowing where everybody is, is because we're using these drones.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Again, these are different, what they are capable of and what the threat might imply is really what you need to pay attention to. Here's the first concern. These systems are AI-assisted autonomous drones. They're designed to fly in environments where GPS doesn't work, or where there's a geo fencing, they can go through that. They navigate obstacles, map terrain. They conduct surveillance without constant human control. That means anybody who understands this system can use them to map infrastructure, energy facilities, ports, public venues, beginning to understand the first concern.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Here's the second one. These drones contain military sensors and payload modules, thermal cameras, high-resolution imaging systems. This is the equipment that actually locates people and vehicles can track them and lock onto targets. They can track heat signatures through buildings and through darkness. This technology alone, because it's military, just the technology, has huge, value on the black market. And the people who buy that are not hobbyists. They're not the ones who are like, I'm going to fly my drone over my neighbor's house.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Here's the third concern. Who walks into the 101st airborne armed? Okay, most thieves stealing electronics don't walk into a military building, period, hard stop. if you're stealing stuff from the military, you better know what you're stealing and where you're going. How is that happening? How'd you get the information into what is happening in this military installation? And the third part of this is you don't walk in with rifles,
Starting point is 00:16:16 because if you're walking in dressed like they're dressed with a rifle, you're going to get shot if you're caught. So this means these are a different kind of thief. Is that possibly drug cartels? Is that possibly somebody who is selling these who has just bought a lot of property near one of our military bases? Did I mention that these can drop bombs as well?
Starting point is 00:16:54 Now, here's the fourth concern, timing. Because the theft occurred during a period when U.S. intelligence agencies were warning about the possibility of Iranian-linked actors trying to attempt drone strikes here in the United States. Iran's leadership has already made public threats, blah, blah, blah. And they're talking about our own homeland. And they're talking about, what did I just say? banks, economic infrastructure, energy facilities. These drones are the kind of drones that can target those kinds of targets. Make it very easy.
Starting point is 00:17:38 And they have been warning of this for several times just in the past year. Now, I want you to hear something really clearly. The Army says there's no confirmed link between this, threat and any foreign actor. None. Okay. All right. I believe we don't have any information. I'll take that. But does that make it better? Let me tell you why in 60 seconds. NMLS 1-82334 NMLS Consumer Access.org. APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers. Call 800906 2440 for details about credit costs and terms. Okay, you know what? Most don't realize about high interest debt is not just that it's super expensive. It's slow. It slows
Starting point is 00:18:31 everything down. The plans you have, the goals you've set, even the simple things that you'd like to do with your money slows down. A big chunk of your money every month is going towards high interest credit cards. And it can feel like you're really running hard every day and you're staying in the same place. I know, everybody's experiencing this right now. American financing will help you look at your mortgage and see whether you can use your home's equity to pay off some of this high interest debt, roll it into one lower monthly payment. The goal is really simple. Less money going to interest, more room in your budget. And if you've been trying to dig out from a, you know, a mountain of credit card debt, it might be worth having a conversation with the salaried,
Starting point is 00:19:11 non-commissioned Morgan Consultants at American Financing. They can walk you through your options. They can see whether a refi or, you know, or just reorganization will put you back in control of your money again instead of the other way around. There are no one. upfront fees. You can find out if you're qualified right now. Just call American financing at 800-906-2440. It's 800-906-2440 or go to Americanfinancing. 10 seconds, station ID. It is Wednesday. It's Thursday. It's Thursday. Ricky just said, you've misinformed everybody. It's Wednesday. Oh, my gosh, it's Thursday. Oh, that makes me so happy.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Big fact check. Oh, that is great. I stand corrected. I told you I'd lead with my mistakes. It's Thursday. Thank God. You know, it's another worse than thinking it's Thursday and it's actually Wednesday and nothing better than thinking it's Wednesday and it's actually Thursday. Well, yes, you thinking that it's Thursday when it's actually Friday. That's actually better. But anyway, okay, so let me tell you, I told you earlier this week, what is AI? How does AI work?
Starting point is 00:20:28 The way AI works is it just looks for patterns. intelligence, artificial or actual intelligence, is all about pattern recognition. So let's look at the pattern of this. This is why people are really concerned. Is the pattern? Ask questions on the pattern. How did the individuals enter the military base and a building on the base and remove four big drone systems without immediate detection? there's dot number one that's kind of glaring.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Here's dot number two. Were they familiar with the facility? How did they know where those things were? Dot number three, did somebody inside help them? Were the drones the target? Or was the technology inside the drone actually the target? Because modern conflicts no longer begin the way they used to. The battlefield has changed. A small drone can, uh, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:37 scout the power plant or the rail yards or the, or, or the fuel terminals or the ports or a stadium filled with people. This is the uncomfortable reality of modern warfare. And you're, I mean, it's easily easy for us to now find ourselves in conflict way before the, first missiles launch. It's the quiet preparations. It's the disappearance of these drones back in November and none of us knew and then take small pieces of that technology. Systems acquired and then piece together, piece by piece, reproduce. The truth is most Americans still imagine war is something that is far away from here. Uniforms and battlefields and front lines. The world that has emerged in the last decade looks very different.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Did you remember seeing any of those drones? These were little drones. Imagine the videos of the drones in Ukraine that were chasing the guys in the tanks. There was no escape. That's the kind of warfare that the world is changing to. And four of those very expensive, very powerful drones have just disappeared. who took them? Well, don't worry, our government's on it.
Starting point is 00:23:02 They're offering $5,000 reward for any information. $5,000 bucks, that's all it's worth. I think we need to up that and find out what the hell happened to these military drones. How did people get on to one of our most sensitive bases and take them? Who were they? Terrorists? Interior terrorists? People who are just trying to make a buck.
Starting point is 00:23:26 or drug cartels who took these drones. Kind of an important question. Maybe we should look at all the dots. All right, people are often at their very best when something goes wrong. You know, a flood hits town. Fire rips through a community and a family loses everything in a storm. Suddenly, people who have never met before just start showing up with trucks and food and supplies and help. It is honestly one of the best things.
Starting point is 00:23:56 about our country. When people are hurting, others just automatically step in. It is the Judeo-Christian values that we hold. The problem is some of that response in some areas when it's really devastating requires some coordination, you know, and groups that can know how to navigate this. This is what Mercury 1 does. This is my charity. We started it, I don't know, over 10 years ago, 15 years ago, maybe. and they help the people who are on the ground. When disaster strikes, we're there. We support the humanitarian projects. We help communities rebuild after the tragedy.
Starting point is 00:24:37 And we partner with the very best, the first people on the ground and the people who actually make a difference. So if you want to help, just become part of the team, will you? $15 a month, your gift will ensure that we have everything we need at mercury1.org. Mercury1.org. We have Senator Mike Lee on to talk to us about the SAVAC. What the hell is going on? Excuse my language, Senator Mike Lee.
Starting point is 00:25:23 How are you? Doing great. Thank you, Glenn. Good to be with you as always. Okay. Now, Mike, you're the nicest guy I know. You're the most senatorial kind of guy I know. You don't ever like to kick up dust and dirt, you, you know.
Starting point is 00:25:40 But I got to ask you, what the hell is going on? Who in the Senate? just does not want this thing to come to the floor and actually have their vote counted. Come on. Who? You know, that's the most curious thing, Glenn. We know that there are three who are opposed to the bill. They've been public about that. Senator Murkowski-McConell and Pellis.
Starting point is 00:26:07 What we don't know is who else might be among those reputed to be against bringing up the talking fellow Fielabuster using the Talking Philibuster to bring up the Save America Act to pass the Save America Act. Look, we've got basically zero chance of passing this without invoking the Talking Filibuster. If we do invoke it, we've got a chance. Now, we can't guarantee exactly what it will look like. We can't guarantee exactly what the outcome will be, but we know we've got a chance, a decent chance to pass it. If we think it this way, in the same way that they had a decent chance of passing the Civil Rights Act, it's 1964. If and only, if they used the Talking Filibuster, they bid.
Starting point is 00:26:45 It passed. We should do the same thing here. Yes, it takes work. Yes, there's uncertainty. Yes, it would be a pain in the neck. But you know what? That's our job. And thank heavens. For those who are grateful for the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the protections that it brought with it, they should all be very grateful that the Senate didn't wuss out then. It should be very grateful that they didn't let a few senators say,
Starting point is 00:27:06 well, I'm going to vote against cloture, so don't even try. Or just force a failed, you know, failure theater, cloture vote at the front end. and then we'll move on. Thank heavens. They didn't do that. They stuck with it. They stuck with it for 60 days. And you know what happened?
Starting point is 00:27:24 It brought people to the table. It made people think. It made people realize they were on the wrong side, the losing side of history. And they ended up negotiating some changes in the bill to save face. And they got the thing passed. We have to do the same thing here. We don't know who the other people are other than those initial three who have, you know, identified themselves as against the bill.
Starting point is 00:27:47 I strongly disagree with them, but at least they've got the courage to say what they're doing. There are others who are under the cover of night, for reasons I don't understand, they're not required to identify themselves, instead take pot shots from the cheap seats, and say, we don't want to do it.
Starting point is 00:28:05 But the American people feel differently, and we ought to do this. The American people are with us on this, Glenn. It doesn't come this way very often. These ships don't pass this way. very often where we've got the house we've got the senate we've got the white house and we've got 85% of the american people on our side only congressional democrats and a few miscellaneous others are against this so let's take advantage of it and don't let these people hide in silence in
Starting point is 00:28:31 secrecy and not even identify themselves much less articulate their reasons for not wanting to do it this is absurd so um johnson martin at politico uh came after me the other day and he said How can one spend decades in and around American politics and not understand the basic macro politics of midterm elections? He was taking me on because I said, it'll be the death of the republic. And it might be the death of the Republicans if they don't take this up and pass it. And my producer Ricky, you know, tried to answer some of his questions, you know, because, you know, sometimes people care more about principles than policies. politics. And he seemed to miss the point entirely when he replied. He said midterms are historically
Starting point is 00:29:24 difficult for the party in power. There's nothing to do whether a voter ID passes, you know, six months before the election. Stop with the apocalyptic nonsense and learn some basic history. I'm not sure what history he's looking for other than, yeah, midterms are tough for the party that's in. But he seems to miss that I really believe the voters that, go out and actually vote the base of your party that care, are tired of this back and forth political nonsense, and they're saying, here's a principle that you have the chance to actually pass,
Starting point is 00:30:03 that everybody in America is for. Mike, tell me, are you, is anybody in the Senate concerned that maybe by not doing these things, you will lose your business? base and people are not going to go out and and fight and even fight the traffic to go out and vote for you people. And I'm sorry to lump you in on that, but the GOP, they're not going to go out and vote for you because you don't stand for anything. This is the biggest clear victory I've ever seen. And the GOP is not going to take advantage of it. And they won't tell us
Starting point is 00:30:44 why and they don't even want to be on record on which ones vote for it, which ones vote against. Something's terribly wrong here. Yeah, because we're addicted to comfort. We're addicted to convenience we meeting the Senate as an institution. We've gotten so accustomed to predictability and ease and comfort and being able to plan ahead and saying, well, I want to be on this city on this day. I want to give a speech here on that day. Sometimes you have to do things in this job that are difficult.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Sometimes you have to take a lot of votes. Sometimes you have to give a lot of speeches. Sometimes you have to vote a lot of time at inconvenient times in order to do things before you run out of time. We're about to run out of time. And yeah, that reporter is right. Things can be very difficult for the party that's got the majority in both houses of Congress and the White House.
Starting point is 00:31:39 And that's all the more reason. We've got to do everything we can to make sure our elections are secure and do everything we can to make sure that our base shows up. And they're not going to show up unless we fight their battles, unless we make clear that we're with them. This one should not be hard, Glenn. There are things in this job that are hard that are really hard. This isn't one of them. And I literally do not understand this has been one of the more perplexing things in 15 years in the United States Senate. that I've seen. I literally don't have a legitimate explanation for this. I mean, I get it.
Starting point is 00:32:18 The radical left hates this bill. They hit it with a white hot passion. And we can all make an educated guess as to why they hate it. But regardless, that doesn't mean that the rest of us who are not part of the radical left have to go along with it. And so I'm dumbfounded by the fact that we as Senate Republicans are resisting this. Now, all that says, look, if we move forward, and I've spoken to Senator Thun, the Senate majority leader as recently as last night about this. And we'll move to it and we'll debate it regardless of whether he wants to call it a talking filibuster. I don't care what he calls it. But we've got to get onto the bill and we've got to not move right ahead to file in cloture and going forward with what would at this point be a
Starting point is 00:33:11 failed cloture vote. We've got to make them speak. We've got to make them hold the floor. We've got to make them defend their indefensible position in front of the American people, one of the white hot lights of the Senate floor. And we've got to make them do it for a significant amount of time. I don't know how much time it's going to take, but you subject them to that for enough time. And I'm very confident. Some of them are going to start to see the light on this. Some of them are going to start coming to the negotiating table on this because they don't want to have to defend the indefensible very long. So, um, Thune says he will, he'll bring it to a vote. But what does that mean? Does that mean
Starting point is 00:33:53 the cloture thing? Well, he, if it means he's going to bring it up, we'll have a motion brief. See, that's the beauty of this bill at the procedural status of the bill. It's coming over from the House of Representatives in the form of a message. There are all these. There's weird rules that relate to the interplay between the House rules and the Senate rules. The House sends us a bill in the form of a message. That means that we don't have to take a cloture vote at the front end to get onto the bill. With many bills, you've got to cast a vote on what's called cloture on the motion to proceed. And that takes 60 votes to get us to the point where we can proceed to a bill.
Starting point is 00:34:36 We don't have that here. So he's going to bring it up, getting on. onto the bill will occur at a simple majority vote threshold. And we just need to debate the bill for a while for a considerable amount of time without filing cloture, without going to the next step of bringing debate to a close on the bill itself, because that takes 60 votes. We don't have that yet. Following back to our example from the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they were 32 votes shy of cloture.
Starting point is 00:35:06 When the bill arrived from the House of Representatives in March of 1964, they spent 60 days debating. it. And lo and behold, those people who were opposed to it, mostly Democrats, by the way, they started to negotiate after a few weeks of this. And they were eventually able to negotiate some changes that allowed them to save enough face that they were able to, when willing to vote for cloture at the end of the process. And as a result, that bill passed. This is one of those moments. I don't want to compare the two bills. They're different bills, but this one should be way easier to pass on that one. It's simpler. Oh my gosh. It's a more popular than that one.
Starting point is 00:35:44 And so we ought to get to... I have to tell you, it just pissed me off so much when when Thune came out and said, yeah, well, they still needed 60 votes. Yeah, they didn't have the 60 votes when they started 60 days later. As you said, the 34 votes suddenly were found. I mean, oh, it's just so agonizing. Donald Trump seems to be really clear on pushing and saying get this done. They don't seem to care. Thune doesn't seem to care.
Starting point is 00:36:16 McConnell, of course, doesn't. Murkowski, Tillis, they don't care. Has he done everything he can? Well, look, no, nobody's done everything that they can until they have gone through the steps that we've described. And again, I don't care what I want to call it.
Starting point is 00:36:35 If he doesn't like calling it, a talking cellabuster, I really could not care less. care about is getting this damn bill on the floor debating it and debating it for a long time. I mean, the two weeks ought to be the bare minimum and then reassess at that point where we are and what we need to do to keep the momentum going and what we need to do to keep bringing about consensus. But the one thing we cannot do is bring it to the floor and then say, oh, gee, we're tired. We want to take a recess. It's time for recess.
Starting point is 00:37:09 We need to recess for a couple of weeks for Easter, and then, you know, some of us want to go to the Bahamas or whatever ridiculous thing they've got planned. That will result in failure. And so I can't emphasize enough the importance of continuing to talk about this, continuing to encourage your senators, regardless of where you think they may be on this, whether you think they're staunchly against it or already for it.
Starting point is 00:37:39 I promise you they need encouragement. They need to be told. You need to be in Washington. You need to not leave Washington until this is done, and the Department of Homeland Security is funded. I've only got about 60 seconds. Mike, is there anything, is there any procedure that allows J.D. Vance to take the leadership role? J.D. Vance can't come to the Senate until he was and immediately assumed
Starting point is 00:38:09 position the presiding officer chair. There is, I've long believed, significant and underutilized authority that comes with sitting in that chair, just the ability to call the shots from moment to moment to make procedural rulings upon receiving, but not necessarily always guided by the advice of the parliamentarian, the presiding officer, especially the vice president, can do what he wants. but I would certainly welcome the vice president coming to do that. And I would also welcome each and every Republican senator weighing in on this and encouraging Senate Republicans to do the right thing.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Look, I don't want to speak for anyone else. I don't want to put words into any senator's mouth. It is not my place to do that. but I will say this. I do think that John Thun wants to win the November elections. I do think he wants to keep the both chambers of Congress in Republican hands. And based on my most recent conversations with him, including last night, I think he gets the fact that we can't get on this bill and immediately start heading to cloture.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Let's continue to encourage him to prolonging. to prolong debate on this as long as it takes to get it passed. Thanks, Mike. I'm going to say something, and Mike didn't. I think Thune is a piece of garbage myself on this and worthless, and I would encourage the White House to encourage Jady Vance to go over and assume the role. Get this done. If they're not going to do it, encourage the vice president and the president to
Starting point is 00:40:02 have the vice president walk in and say, Thune, sit down. Here's what we're going to do. If that is constitutionally, if he's able to do that constitutionally, it should be done. That did not come from Mike Lee. Mike, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:40:15 I appreciate it. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Life Lock. Stealing used to mean physically taking something, a wallet, a checkbook, maybe a credit card. And if those things were still in your pocket, you're good.
Starting point is 00:40:28 The world has changed, however. Today, a thief doesn't need to touch your wallet at all. they just need information, a date, a name, a birth date, social security number, a password that might have been exposed in a data breach that you've never even heard about.

But there's another way that your home can be targeted, and it doesn't involve anyone's stepping foot in your property. It is actually called home title fraud, and it's exactly what it sounds like. Criminals forge documents.
Starting point is 00:41:48 They file them with the county. They transfer ownership of your home into their name. And then, once all that happens, they can attempt to take out loans against your property or even try to sell it out from under you. The scary part is, like, you don't really know much about this as it's going on. Regular homeowners insurance doesn't typically protect you from this.
Starting point is 00:42:06 And the mortgage company isn't looking forward either. That's why you need home title lock. They monitor your home's title and alert you to any changes that could signal fraud. So you're not left discovering it after the fact, which is a big problem. Something suspicious shows up.

Probably next week, Data Republican is on a really strong theory that she says. said she can prove about Politico and Punchbowl and everything else and how the Senate actually is working, Congress is actually working. We'll get into that later. Also, the Ayatollah has just made a statement.
Starting point is 00:43:35 I don't know how he did it in a coma, but he's just made a statement. Attacks on the U.S. on our bases, et cetera, et cetera, is going to continue. They're going to avenge the blood of martyrs. and they are considering opening other fronts if necessary. I would say a storefront, maybe selling coffins, would be a good one. Here's something uncomfortable. You don't always realize that you're missing things. You just notice you're working a little harder.
Starting point is 00:44:04 You lean in a little bit more during conversations, or you ask people, can you say that again? You then pretend you caught it the second time, even though you didn't. By the end of a long dinner or family gathering, you're worn out, not from talking, but from straining just, to keep up. This is what gradual hearing loss feels like for a lot of people. You're still present, you're still engaged, but everything takes more effort than it used to. What holds people back from doing something about it isn't just pride.

Starting point is 00:45:22 Like the other Ones America Welcome I got a few questions It just had Mike Lee on talking about the SAVE Act And Ricky said to me
Starting point is 00:46:34 You know, it's things like you just said that don't make you popular in Washington You want to know why we don't have anybody of any note on the the show from Washington because you say things like that. And so that got me thinking. And I actually think I'm okay with that. But I want to talk about this. I also want to talk about the latest on the oil, the drones that are missing now from the 101st Airborne. How did that happen? How do we just lose these really, really sensitive drones with crypto low?
Starting point is 00:47:16 so it's got all, it can break through GPS, boundaries, everything. It's highly sensitive in four of them. We're just taken by two guys that came in in masks and guns. On to Fort Campbell? What? How did that happen? We'll talk about that and so much more here. Oh, and there's a new statement from the Ayatollah. We had to translate it from gibberish,
Starting point is 00:47:42 which I think is the official language of the clerics over there, We have an unofficial translation coming up here in just a second. We give you the latest because things are heating up. And we'll talk about that and so much more in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about PatriotMobil. Every day you pay for a service, you know, and you said stop and ask yourself occasionally, if I were choosing this today, would this be the company that I would pick again?
Starting point is 00:48:06 Most people are still using the same cell phone company that they signed up, you know, with a long, long time ago. They just walked into a store, picked a plan, never really thought about it again. You really should because a lot has changed. Big wireless companies have gotten a lot bigger, more political, and a lot more comfortable in spending billions of dollars supporting causes that, you know, you probably don't agree with. It's a fair question because look at it this way.
Starting point is 00:48:31 With all the corruption that is going on right now, you're already paying your taxes, and I'll bet you 30% of your dollar, your tax dollars, going to corruption. So you're already funding all of those corrupt things. Why pay for it with your phone bill? too. Patriot Mobile offers dependable nationwide service. They're on all
Starting point is 00:48:49 three major networks so you can keep the coverage that you have. Also, you're supporting a company that's working to protect the values you believe in. So go to Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot. PatriotMobil. com slash Beck. Get a free month
Starting point is 00:49:05 of service. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck, 972 Patriot. Okay. Jason. Yes. I just asked you to create a poll for the insiders and you got to tell me when it's up because I really, I'm interested in this
Starting point is 00:49:20 because I might be doing the people of America a disservice by not kissing everybody's ass in Washington and not actually saying what I mean but playing nice, playing the game, just said a minute
Starting point is 00:49:36 ago, you know what Roger Ayl said, you know what your problem is? When I was at Fox, you know what your problem is? I said, no, Roger, I don't know what my problem is. Your problem is you won't play the game. And I said, you're right. Because to me, it's not a game. Okay?
Starting point is 00:49:51 I mean what I say and say what I mean. And I'm tired of all the people playing the game because he was talking to me about, you know, he said, you know, when, when Al Sharpton came to, uh, to protest Don Imus, do you think I didn't know about that? And I was like, you did? And he said, of course I knew about that. He called me. We do this from time to time.
Starting point is 00:50:13 He'll need a pound of flesh from somebody over here. And then I'll tolerate it to a certain extent. And then he'll go away. And then I'll need a pound of flesh. And I'll call him. And I'm like, you're got, you got to, you're admitting this. That's the way the system works. No, thank you.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Want nothing to do with that. So I was just on with Mike Lee. And he was very nice as Mike Lee is because he's not controversial. And I mean, he did say, what do you say? Hell or damn? Damn. Really hard. Yeah, really harsh.
Starting point is 00:50:43 That's like the. word for him. That's like that's like him just steaming mad. Damn, pass the damn bill. But anyway, and so he finished and I said, okay, Mike, well, I'm going to say the things that you're not going to say. You know, Thune is a worthless piece of crap. And, you know, I think you should call the White House or write to the White House and, and suggested the president, maybe J.D. Vance just exercises his constitutional power and goes in and says, hey, Thune, sit down. We're going to take care of this bill now because the vice president can do that. He can assume the position because I and I think the rest of the country are tired of assuming the position. So maybe we take another
Starting point is 00:51:28 position and have J.D. Vance take that position because Thune's not going to get it done. These guys are not going to get it done. And as I said the other day, it's because they're lazy. They're all freaking lazy and they don't care. They want to go on their little junkets. They want to go, you know, and do this fundraiser or this speech. They want to go home because they've got to be with their families. And so they don't want to spend 60 days in Washington on call 24 hours a day because to them nothing is important enough to do that. But to me it is. To you it is. So I asked Jason, I said, I want you to take a poll of the insiders and just ask, would you rather have me play the game
Starting point is 00:52:09 so I can have John Thune on so he can say all his bull crap that he says everywhere else. And then I go, well, I don't know if I actually agree with that. You know, technically I think John, maybe we disagree on this and we keep it really nice and polite. And he gets away with saying all the same bull crap that he says everywhere else. This is what Ricky, Ricky shaking her head. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can have on people that you disagree with.
Starting point is 00:52:38 I can. You've done it before. I've seen you lean on your better angels. You can have them on. And then you can ask smart questions that get them in a box and force them to either lie or spin or make news. But when you know that's all they do anyway. No, but you can corner them. There is a way to be fair, but also make them look like idiots and still be polite about it.
Starting point is 00:53:04 We can do this. I believe that you can do this. But can I just say that... Wait, I don't know if it's worth doing, though. I mean, because that's what everybody else does. No, they don't. Anyways, we're not going to... The insiders are going to disagree with me, and that's fine.
Starting point is 00:53:20 I'm happy to be the enemy today. But I just want to say, your theory... You're a traitor. Yes, I'm a communist traitor who went to Cuba and lived in Canada. Right, okay. Okay. Anyways, Politico basically said yesterday, what you've been saying, they just used more words. You've been saying Congress is lazy.
Starting point is 00:53:37 That's why they don't want to be talking filibuster. Can I sum up yesterday's article from Politico? Yeah. They said senators have conveyed to Trump. There isn't support inside the GOP ranks to successfully deploy a talking filibuster. Doing so would require the majority to maintain attendance and control of the floor on a constant basis for weeks on in. So how is that different? From what I just said.
Starting point is 00:53:59 How's that different? Is this written by the same guy of Politico who yesterday was like, Glenn Beck just doesn't get it. I don't think it's the same author. No, it's not the same author, but good news, Data Republican, she's digging into, she has a big exposee coming for glenbeck.com about three big congressional media launderers.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Politico's one of them. So stay tuned. I can't wait. And I don't have to say nice things about Data Republican because she's deaf, so she can't hear it. But I say this from my art. I love that woman. She is the best.
Starting point is 00:54:37 And she's working on. She's been, she's been in touch with us. And she's like, I'm working on some things. Okay, good, good. Can't wait to see it.
Starting point is 00:54:45 Next week's going to be kind of a big week of shows here on the Glenbeck program. Because now that we, not only be hopefully exposing that with data, but we also are going to be doing our big expose on Islam. And the blueprint for, you know, our destruction. Eh, no big deal.
Starting point is 00:55:03 It's maybe a special you can miss. or not. We're going to expose what is actually going on in the West. And, you know, the question, the question really is, who's going to win this battle? Well, I can tell you who's going to win this battle. The ones who are actually engaged in the battle, who know it's a battle, who will admit this is what we're doing, or this is what's being done to us, the ones who admit it and then go, no, it's worth going the other way.
Starting point is 00:55:33 or, you know, like the Islamists, now they're all saying the same thing, well, you know what, we're here in America, we're here in Europe, because we're going to take over because this needs to be a continent that is dedicated to Allah and Islam. Sorry, not this continent, over my dead body. And it may end up over my dead body because not enough people wake up. But we're going to try to wake you up next week. So join us. That will be on Torch, the premier.
Starting point is 00:56:03 is live March 19th, that's next Thursday, a week from tonight at 8 p.m. By the way, speaking of this, I mean, it couldn't just, it couldn't come at a better time. We've been working months on this. And it couldn't come at a better time because we now have the Ayatollah, who, which, which was it the Guardian that came out? It was the Daily Mail? Daily Mail. Not really known for being like a premier journalism outlet, but. Right, right. And not, not conservative. and Daily Mail came out, and what did they say about the Ayatollah?
Starting point is 00:56:38 Oh, Glenn's putting me on the spot. Let me pull this up again. They basically said, you guys are going to be shocked to hear this, that Iran's new Supreme Leader is, quote, obsessed with the end of days. What? What? And, quote, believes he has a special part in hastening humanity down that path. What?
Starting point is 00:56:57 Where have you heard that? The return of the promised one. What are you saying? So finally, at least the Daily Mail is like, hey, this guy's a religious zealot and wants the end of the world. Maybe we should pay attention to that. Anyway, he's just come out. There's a new statement. Now, when I say he has come out with this, I'm not sure it's him or a cardboard cutout.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Because, you know, the Guardian is reporting that the new Ayatollah is actually in a coma. and has lost his leg. The IRGC and state-run media in Iran is saying, he's totally fine. He has a scratch on his leg. He's got a little boo-boo on his leg, now than a little Band-Aid, you know, I am stuck on Band-Aid and Band-Aid stuck on me.
Starting point is 00:57:49 That's what he's singing right now. It's no big deal. And so we're not sure who this statement came from, but Reuters has now taken this and translated it from, I think the official language of the Mahadi is gibberish. And so they have taken this now and translated it from gibberish to English. He said in his statement, Iran will continue using the leverage of closing the strait of our moves. Attacks on U.S. bases in the region are going to continue unless the bases are immediately closed. I don't see that one happening. Iran believes
Starting point is 00:58:25 in friendship with its neighbor, but it is only targeting U.S. bases. That's, that's a hard one to get past because you're hitting, you know, downtown area, way away from our bases. You're hitting apartment buildings. So they're also going to continue to avenge the blood of martyrs. That's a top priority and will not be foregone. So, you know, that's, you know, somebody said, you think this, this I told is going to be better than the last one?
Starting point is 00:58:59 I don't know. we did just kill his dad. So I'm not sure. It's like, you know, if Iran would have killed Donald Trump and then we selected Don Jr. to be president, I don't think he would have gone softer on Iran than his father. But, you know,
Starting point is 00:59:20 maybe that's just me. And Iran is considering opening other fronts if necessary. So we got that going for us. Now, Jason, I want to bring you in here in a second. I want to take a quick break and then I want to bring you in and just get an update on what's happening in the straits of her in the strait of her moves and oil prices because it's a little spooky. But I also want to talk to you about the the crypto load on the drones that have been stolen. we have pictures of two guys wearing masks and gloves going into a secure facility at a military base of the 101st airborne and stealing four drones. And these aren't like, these aren't, you know, it's not like going to Home Depot and getting a little drone.
Starting point is 01:00:14 These are massive, really important drones with big technology. We don't know who stole them. We don't know where they went. They were stolen a few months ago. and the government's offering a $5,000 reward. Wait, what? A $5,000 reward for any information that leads? I think we should up that maybe, just a little bit.
Starting point is 01:00:39 I don't know, just me. I mean, we're printing money anyway. Why not offer a little bit more if we can get the drones back? I want to talk to you about that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Relief Factor. Let me throw you a strange question. If somebody could follow you around for a week,
Starting point is 01:00:55 like a documentary, you know, and that crew has, you know, got a camera on you, just observing your daily life. Would they notice, you know, some things that, you know, you don't, you don't even think about. You know, you might say, nothing much, nothing much, but an outside observer would probably see the little things that you stop noticing. Like, I don't know, the way your hand automatically reaches for the handrail when you go down the stairs, the way you take a brief pause before standing up from your chair.
Starting point is 01:01:25 The way you gravitate towards the seat with armrests without really thinking about why. Not, not, I don't even think about it. Not much. Not much going on there. The little compromises here and there, certain, you know, certain movement, certain activities, certain parts of life that get edited out without even having a, being a conscious decision anymore. It's one of the reasons that relief factor exists.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Relief factor was helped to create a situation where your body can reduce the everyday joint in muscle discomfort so you can stay active and do the things that you enjoy. And over a million people have tried relief factor. Two thirds of them have gone on to take more. I'm one of the two thirds. My wife made me take it. And I mean, I wasn't doing advertising for him because I didn't know if it worked or not.
Starting point is 01:02:07 And I wasn't going to try because it's all natural. And, you know, I grew up in the air in the air of better living through Dow chemicals. What a scam that was. Anyway, three week quick start. I tried it because my wife told me she wasn't going to listen to me wine anymore. it actually worked for me. I still take it. Relief Factor. See what it can do for you. 800, 4 relief, 800, the number four relief, or go to Relieffactor.com. 10 seconds. Station item. All right. Jason. Yes, sir. Tell me about why these drones are so important. What does
Starting point is 01:02:51 crypto load mean? So these drones would have been loaded with some kind of crypto. So basically, being able to mix the signal so that anyone can't either access these drones or listen in to anything else that's being relayed through these drones. So it's very common on radios,
Starting point is 01:03:11 multiple other equipment. What I would be concerned about is if there is a crypto load that has been loaded onto these drones and if that can be accessed in some way. If you're in the military, you probably have been in a situation on a training exercise or whenever, when some piece of equipment with a crypto load in it has gone missing,
Starting point is 01:03:31 and then everything shuts down until they find it. That would be one of the biggest things that I would be concerned about on this. And as of now, we don't really know. There's been like zero mainstream news reporting on this. It's all just been local news and nothing else. Why? If something with a crypto load will stop the base, everybody's like, stop, find this before we do anything else.
Starting point is 01:03:56 how can four of these drones how can somebody two guys walk in with rifles and and they had to have known i assume known where the what they were looking for known where it was walk on the base with rifles that's nuts yeah the more i look at and we don't we don't even hear about it for you know four months so the more i look at this and i pulled up the story uh or the the the uh the reward flyer from the criminal investigation division from the Department of Army. And they actually don't mention rifles on that. And we were analyzing this in one of the insider segments. By the way, if you're not subscribed, you really should. Go to glimac.com slash torch and subscribe. One of the users, I think, has used the piece of equipment that is shown in one of the pictures. And they say it looks like a fire department
Starting point is 01:04:48 halogen tool. And I look that up, and that's exactly what it looks like. It does kind of look like a rifle from the picture, but it looks specifically like a, it's like a basically a big pry bar, but so it used to pry doors open or pry, uh, pri safes or whatever they need to, a cage. That's better. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:07 And it makes more sense. I mean, it makes more sense. Because if you walk onto a military, I would imagine. You know, it's like walking into a police station with a mask and a rifle. I think they're going to shoot you. Yeah. Um, and and why you would, I mean, that would
Starting point is 01:05:22 automatically set you up as a bad guy. Of course, the masks do that themselves. And there's these pictures, these clear pictures of these guys wearing masks. You know, and they don't look Norwegian. Let's put it that way. But I don't know. I mean, I don't know. And I don't know why we wouldn't have heard about this.
Starting point is 01:05:44 Why? How can something this sensitive just go missing on a million, on the hundred and first airborne's base. How can they go missing and us only have local news reports? Yeah, it's pretty wild. And maybe one possible reason is because on military bases, there are roughly on a size like this base for Campbell. There's probably around two to three to sometimes four thousand contractors, private contractors on these bases. And theft does happen pretty much all the time. Something will happen. It won't go to national news.
Starting point is 01:06:22 But not, that's exactly what I was going to say is not, I guess they're just not being, thinking it through. Drones that could have crypto. And plus, some kind of AI, military AI that they're using, that's a whole other ballgame right there. Yeah, I would imagine this is worth a lot on the black market. And as I said earlier, you know, I think this is, you know, possibly cartels. And if it's not cartels, then it's, it may be a nation state. That's even worse.
Starting point is 01:06:56 But the cartels would love to have this technology on our own border. Burn a launcher. Last night I was having dinner and my niece came into town. And we were having dinner. And she was talking to me about the school she goes to up in the Northeast. And she was saying, yeah, so, you know, just off campus, we have, you know, we just had like four murders and a stabbing. and partridge in a pear tree. And I mean, it was like, what the hell?
Starting point is 01:07:31 You're, where are you going to school? And she's like, actually, it's a really good school. And I'm like, yeah, but it doesn't sound good. She's like, no, we kind of stay on campus. I said, do you have a gun or a burner launcher or anything? And she said, no, I said, I'm getting you and your sister's a burner launcher. And I said, I want you to put it in your backpack or your purse or wherever you are, carry it. And keep it.
Starting point is 01:07:52 Because, I mean, these, these, these. states are going to burn themselves to the ground. And you have to protect yourself. This is legal in all 50 states. You don't need a permit. It's non-lethal or less lethal. And it protects you from real harm, gives you time to get away. I want you to go to burna.com. Burna.com learn more about it.

I'll give you some good news and then I'll give you some bad news.
Starting point is 01:08:45 And then I probably will give you some good news. But let me give you some bad news. We're talking about the numbers of the debt and our deficit. We just released some more numbers that were made up numbers when I was a kid. We have just run a trillion dollar deficit in the first five months of this fiscal year. Now here's the good news. That's better than it was last year. So we're making some progress, but buried inside of this report is another number that should wake us all up.
Starting point is 01:09:18 And that is $79 billion in the first five months, $79 billion. That's what we paid in interest. Not in the first five months. We paid that in February. 79 billion. We paid in interest on our debt that is a debt. now approaching $39 trillion. Just interest. That is, you know, that's, that's more expensive than everything except three other categories, Social Security, income security programs, and health care.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Any civilization that is borrowing money just to pay interest on money, it already borrowed at that debt is not going to survive. So let me ask you, we're $39 trillion in the hole. We just paid $79 billion last month for just service of the debt. Let me ask you, those numbers are so huge. Is your life getting better? Do you feel like your life is getting better? Is your airport in your town brand new? How about your roads and bridges for all those infrastructure projects that we've done?
Starting point is 01:10:30 Are they better? How about your hospital? Is it new? Is it expanded? Lots of extra room, you know, in the hospital. Are your children better educated? In any way, shape or form, we've spent $39 trillion. Can you tell me where that money has gone to make your life better?
Starting point is 01:10:50 Because I don't see the result of it. I see it in the military and that's it. That's it. So where's the money actually going? Well, let's step away from the spreadsheets here a bit. Let's go just looking around poking in cities like Los Angeles because the answer begins to emerge. and it is far uglier than most Americans are even prepared to admit maybe, maybe, or maybe they don't care. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:20 But let me start with the hospice scandal that we talked about yesterday in Los Angeles County. This is one county. Investigators and journalists have now uncovered what appears to be one of the largest hospice fraud schemes in modern American history. Notice we're hearing it's the largest hospice. It's the largest, you know, autism scheme. What are all of these schemes, the largest medical scheme? Hospice care, you know, and feel a little guilty stealing from the hospice system. You know, final chapter of life, families gather,
Starting point is 01:12:04 pain is ease, dignity is preserved, and you're stealing from that? Wow. Okay, Medicare pays for that. No, let me rephrase it. You pay for that. Your tax dollars. And you pay for that because you have compassion. Okay. But in Los Angeles County, hundreds of hospice companies suddenly appeared almost overnight. And nobody noticed. Many of them are run out of small little offices and storefronts and residential homes, like 30, 30 of these companies in what? little office. Really? And they were enrolling patients who were not dying. In fact, they existed, but they didn't know they were enrolling in this. They weren't terminal. People had no idea they had been signed up for hospice at all. Once somebody is falsely enrolled in hospice, the money then begins flowing from Medicare. To whom? Where? Tens of thousands of dollars per patient. Some patients
Starting point is 01:13:07 allegedly cycled through multiple fraudulent hospital providers or hospice providers like inventory. The dying turned into billing codes. The elderly turned into profit centers. Is this
Starting point is 01:13:23 a victimless crime? Hospice fraud means that real care is denied. Pain medication. is withheld. Proper treatment is delayed. Families misled. And it's not, it's not theft of just money. It is the theft of dignity at the end of human life. And when this scandal broke, the response was predictable, wouldn't it? Political response was finger-pointing, blame shifting, anything except what
Starting point is 01:14:00 the public deserves. And that is a ruthless house cleaning. Ruthless house cleaning. Now let's stay in Los Angeles just for a minute because the second story is just as revealing. City of Los Angeles, again, we went from the county now to the city. They have approved $106 million to a nonprofit organization that provides legal services to tenants facing eviction. So now on the surface, helping people who can't afford legal representation sounds compassionate, right? But let's take a look a little closer. The organization receiving the money is LAFLA, the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles.
Starting point is 01:14:47 Over the next three years, they will receive 106,572,543. $569 from the taxpayer. Lawyers connected to the same organization. have repeatedly filed lawsuits that prevent the city from clearing homeless encampments. Encampments that are blocking sidewalks. Encampments that create unsafe conditions for residents. Encampments that make companies and storefronts that are actually paying tax dollars from being able to do business, entire neighborhoods, in zones of disorder.
Starting point is 01:15:30 The city can't enforce its own municipal codes because the lawyers are constantly suing the city and the city is paying for those lawyers. And those lawyers are building $1,025 an hour, $1,025 per hour. Taxpayer funded to obstruct the taxpayer. I mean, the system is a joke. It's a loop. Government tries to do its job. Government then funds the lawyers who want to.
Starting point is 01:16:06 stop it from doing his job. Lawyers sue the government. Government pays the settlement. Crisis continues. This is cloward and Piven, and the bill just keeps growing. Now step back. Forget about the corruption in Minnesota or New York or Illinois or anywhere else. I'm telling you, we're going to find this all over the country. But just focus on the headlines of today. One story is hospice fraud targeting the elderly and the dying. The second is taxpayer money funding legal warfare that perpetuates urban collapse in the same city and county as the other fraud. And above both of them sits the third number. A trillion dollar deficit in five months.
Starting point is 01:16:53 Interest payments that rival entire federal programs. That's the real story. Because if this level of corruption can happen in just one county, in just one county, in just one city in one set of programs? You have to ask the question. Nobody wants to actually ask a reason why Elon Musk was chased out of town. What if Los Angeles is not the exemption or the exception? What if it is actually the rule? What if Los Angeles is the model? We spend roughly $6.5 trillion every year. Do you feel that? Is your? Is it? You feel that? Is your life getting easier? Let's just do the numbers. If just 10% of that is lost to fraud,
Starting point is 01:17:43 waste, and corruption, that's $650 billion. If it's 20%, that's $1.3 trillion. That's the entire deficit. This is deeply unsettling. It should be. If what we're seeing in places like Los Angeles reflects the broader system than 20%, maybe one third of the federal deficit, every single year may simply be because of corruption. Not policy disagreements, not things that they're funding that we all think are crazy, not defense spending, not Social Security. Corruption. It is robbery from you, the taxpayer, the quiet siphoning of money from you
Starting point is 01:18:37 from you through programs that are meant to be compassionate, noble, necessary, until you look closely enough and see the machinery underneath. And how many people were involved for this kind of corruption to happen? How many people turned a blind eye? How many people were told, sit down, shut up, or lose your job? This is the mob. And it's the moral condition required for it to continue. Hospice is stealing from the dying.
Starting point is 01:19:09 legal rackets profit from homelessness. Cities paying organizations to obstruct the enforcement of basic law and order. And what's the reaction from the public? Me. Shrug a headline. Another day. What are you going to do about it? Got news for you.
Starting point is 01:19:34 Republic's not going to stand with that level of indifference. It can't. Can't. Corruption doesn't begin to do. with greedy officials. It begins when a society decides, eh, we don't need to look that closely.
Starting point is 01:19:47 When voters stop demanding answers, when outrage is selective, when the most vulnerable people in society, do you know how poorly history is going to judge us? When you have elderly patients, the homeless who are struggling, when you're stealing from the dying and they become revenging,
Starting point is 01:20:09 new streams instead of human beings? Oh my gosh, that's the real bankruptcy. Forget about our money. Financial bankruptcy. This is moral bankruptcy. Lots of throughout history, lots of countries go bankrupt. They run out of money. Most of them run out of money because they ran out of virtue first. Rome had corruption. Late stage empires always do. Rome's real problem was eventually the citizens just didn't care enough to stop it. They were fine with the circuses and the cakes. Are we fine with the circuses and cakes? What are the circuses that are happening in your life right now?
Starting point is 01:20:49 What circuses are happening that the media is pushing? What circuses are you seeing on social media every day? Because we're all watching a circus. And we're learning to live with it. And we're learning to accept it as our treasury is being your, bank account is being robbed. Warning, the world's largest robbery is happening right now. It is the warning flare so big it should be able to be seen from space. If hospice fraud can flourish in the shadows, if taxpayer money can fund legal warfare against you with your money, if billions can move
Starting point is 01:21:40 through programs with no accountability, then the deficit we see on paper is only part of the story. The real deficit is something harder to repair, a deficit of courage, a deficit of attention, a deficit of moral clarity. And unless we rediscover those things really soon, gang, the most dangerous line in the federal budget will not be the interest payments. It will be that silent line item that's been growing for decades. The cost of looking at. the other way. More in a minute. You tell you about leaf filter.

Starting point is 01:24:32 Ricky. Ricky, who is our director of content on the programs. I just asked for a poll to be taken from the insiders. And I said, you know, because I said something about John Thune in an interview with Mike Lee. And Mike, I'm sure, was very, you know, not happy that I said it with him on the show. But, you know, I just think. I just think Thune is a piece of worthless, worthless politician.
Starting point is 01:25:01 Let's say that. And I said it. And afterwards, Ricky said, well, that's why we don't get John Thune on the air. And I'm like, you know, I'm tired of hearing these people. I don't need to hear their bull crap. And she said, well, you could box them in and my asking them questions. And that would be neat. But yeah, I'm just, I just, I just know, I have no tolerance.
Starting point is 01:25:20 So I said, let's take a poll. So what are the, what do the listeners say? Well, a minute ago. 11% agreed with me. Don't burn bridges so we can interview them and then burn them on air. But now it's up to only 10% or down to 10% agree with me. 90% agree with you. Burn it all down.
Starting point is 01:25:41 No hold barred. So I don't, that's not my position is not it's not burn it all down. It's like, look, if you want to hear these blow hard say that crap, listen, they'll be on every show, every news network. They can say all that bull crap elsewhere. You know and I know they're full of bull crap when they say it. Why would I inflict that on you, my beloved audience, say, hey, listen to this guy for 10 minutes so I can have one minute going, you know, technically, gotcha. I think you're just insecure about your interview skills. No, I'm better than anything.

He does not believe in these foreign excursions that our country has been going on. He despises them. You also know, if you really know Donald Trump, he knows how important this next election is. But he also knows that it will hinge on the economy and he knows how to fix
Starting point is 01:28:48 economies. So if you know those things and you know this election matters and the only thing it's going to matter is a true verifiable election, how do you explain what is happening in America? How does one make sense of what Trump is doing with the war, with what it could mean to the economy and the Save America Act? Somebody who actually knows Donald Trump and has known him as a good friend for a long time may be able to give some insight is Bill O'Reilly. He joins me next. He's the host of We'll do it live, which I love. I absolutely love. Bill O'Reilly, we'll do it live. We're going to talk to him here in just a second for some insight on this war and Donald Trump and what's coming our way. More in just a second. First, give me 60 seconds. Communication is one of the things
Starting point is 01:29:46 that you assume will always be there. You know, right until the moment it isn't. Your phone battery dies, or you're out on a property or traveling with families and multiple vehicles. Maybe you're hunting or camping. You're working at a job site where everybody needs to stay in touch and all of a sudden
Starting point is 01:29:59 you can't get a hold of anybody. That's where something like Rapid Radio's makes a lot of sense. The new Rad 1 from Rapid Radio's is built to make communications simple again. You turn it on, you press the button, you talk. No programming, no complicated setup, you know, and no license is required.
Starting point is 01:30:14 The Rad 1 lets people talk across the country with clear push-to-to-talk communication. not just a few miles like traditional walkie-talkies. This is built to be rugged, water-resistant, long battery life, and excellent audio. In other words, when you need to talk to somebody, whether they're across a farm, across the city or across the country, you just press a button and you talk. It's just that simple. The new Rad 1, officially live, head on over to RapidRadios.com. Get the radio built for real life.
Starting point is 01:30:43 Communication redefined rapid radios.com. First of all, Bill, how are you? We thought you'd died, but apparently not. No. Just like a vampire. You're going to keep rising. Who's singing that Beck song? I sound like the monkeys.
Starting point is 01:31:03 Did you get the monkeys back together, then? Yeah, yeah, we did. We did. We did. So, Bill, first of all, seriously, how are you feeling? I'm feeling okay. Thank you for asking. And we're launching today.
Starting point is 01:31:16 Do it live. And here's something you'll enjoy, Beck. Are you ready for enjoyment? I am. I'm already enjoying a lot of this. Because, you know, that's one of the reasons I want to plan on the planet is to give you enjoyment. Yes. My staff turned on me.
Starting point is 01:31:32 So I run an operation. You know that, Bill O'Reilly.com, knows the news. And I got about 60 people working for me, a lot of people. And so they're hounded me. You've got to do long form. They call it a podcast. I podcast to me, two guys sitting in a basement smoking pot. You know, we don't do that here.
Starting point is 01:31:54 So, but it's long form, and then they go, we have a perfect name. And I go, oh, it's going to be like the Riley Factor 2 or something. No, we'll do it live. Now, for those of you who don't know what that means, when I was 12 years old, I was anchoring inside addition, that program is still on the air. But I'm 12, and I got a little heated one day because the technical. little. Just screwed up.
Starting point is 01:32:23 All right. And I launched a few F-bombs with, we'll do it live. Right. Now. Right. You never heard that story. And then somebody at an indecidation sold it for a lot of money, I understand, to one of these smear websites.
Starting point is 01:32:41 And then it got out, and now it'll haunt me for the rest of my life. So that's what the staff demanded to call this program, which debuted. today with Rob Schneider. And I have to tell you, wait, you're doing it with Rob Schneider? Yeah. Oh, that's even better. That's even better. Yeah, you love it.
Starting point is 01:33:01 Okay. So, Bill, so Bill, here's the thing. I know that story. And I have been told for years, never by you, but by others, do not mention we'll do it live to Bill. Do not ever mention that. So, like, people have been afraid to mention that to you forever because, I don't know, thought you would, like, go ballistic on whoever mentioned it. So how did they bring this up to you?
Starting point is 01:33:33 Limitations would run out when you're 12 years old. Okay, but no. Okay. So I just surrendered back. I just put my hands up. I said, okay. Okay. I love it.
Starting point is 01:33:48 I love it. of my life. No, no, no, no. That's what my staff want. I love the fact. I love the fact that you're actually embracing it and just using it for humor. It's the most effective way to do it. And I just love it, Bill.
Starting point is 01:34:02 All right. Let me, let me talk to you about the news of the day. Right. You know Donald Trump. You know he hates forever wars. You also have been around enough wars to know this one could be very, very, very dicey. It could also hurt the economy. you know that this election coming up is really important
Starting point is 01:34:23 and we can't do anything to hurt the economy just on political front, let alone what it actually means to the average everyday person. How do you read this war, what we're doing, what is coming and what it's going to mean? Okay, a big dice roll. And he reached a period in time and history.
Starting point is 01:34:49 The CIA, NSA, all of our intel, job with the United Nations and said, look, we knocked out a lot of their nuclear capacity in June of last year, but they have satellites and are close to being able to put together 10 nuclear bombs, okay? Ten. And so that intel came in, and that obviously got Trump's attention. So there was a member. massive discussion for months about, all right, what do we do?
Starting point is 01:35:28 Because what the Mullahs did was they decentralized their new making capacity. They spread it out. So then Mossad went in and Netanyahu, and I don't think the Trump administration is going to mind me saying this, even though it hasn't been made public, but I'm a reporter, and I have the information. So, Mossadwin said, look, on this Saturday, the Ayatollah and 25 of the stugs are going to be in this place at this time. Now, that was after three months of negotiations stopped their nuclear weapons program. And the last negotiation in Geneva, Switzerland, the guy, the foreign minister of Iran walks in and says, you know what?
Starting point is 01:36:23 We're not stopping. Blank you. We don't care what you say. we're not stopping, and Whitkoff, our chief U.S. and negotiator, had a report back to Trump. So that's the information Trump has. Number one, they're close to 10 bombs. Number two, they're all going to bring drinking tea on Saturday morning in this spot. And number three, they're saying, blank you to the U.S. government, they're not going to stop.
Starting point is 01:36:51 That's how the decision was made. Now, as Larry, everybody knows the midterms are coming up, and Americans will largely vote on a motion and how they are feeling about their financial portfolio. But the president believes that he will be victorious in the next month or so, which is into April, puts us into China with Xi, and he believes he's going to have momentum, basically dismantling Iran, because that's what they're doing now. They're just wiping out its capacity to do anything. which is not easy, and that's why you're seeing the short-term pain.
Starting point is 01:37:31 Now, people believe what they want to believe, and the president is no exception. If it comes his way, then he becomes a great president, which he wants, his legacy. If it doesn't, then Republicans will probably lose in November. So that's where we are. Knowing what you know, Bill, after watching so many, you know, wars, you know, you were here, I think for the British-American War, after seeing so many wars fought, how is this look in a pattern of wars? Is this, because it, I mean, it's not looking good. How are you sensing this is going to shape up?
Starting point is 01:38:19 I'm not as, I'm not as pessimistic as many Americans are. And, of course, the media wants Trump to fail. If you can imagine that. Sure. I mean, they want Iran to win. So give me the reason why, give me the reason that makes you go, don't worry about that. Well, I wouldn't say don't worry about it. It's certainly a worry, and it's a big gamble.
Starting point is 01:38:43 And no other president in modern time would have done it. Nobody. Nobody. Okay. So you got a dice thrower in there running the country, but that's not a bulletin. Everybody knows that Donald Trump is a risk. taker. The problem is he's taken a risk of 350 Americans,
Starting point is 01:39:03 a million Americans, and that's very serious. But the history has changed now. But he's not a He's not a gambler. He is a businessman. He will throw the dice in the table, but only when he knows the odds are in his favor. So he's not like some... But the odds are in his
Starting point is 01:39:21 favor. The odds are in his favor. But it just doesn't... It just matters how the timeline is going to go out. Look, Iran is not going to be able to wage offensive war. That's why Trump's going around going. So that's a fact. They will never be able to launch an offensive war against anybody. And their weaponry and everything else, their infrastructure is collapsed.
Starting point is 01:39:54 Now, there was a hope that the Persian people would rise up as they did in 1979. And this dovetails right into my book confronting evil, because we explain how the Shah got overthrown but he's malles and the same thing could happen now. But when he killed 30,000, as the mulles did, 30,000. And people are scared. So it doesn't look like the regime change coming from within is going to happen. But certainly, and there is no question about this. May I disagree with you on that?
Starting point is 01:40:29 I think, you know, Trump has, he is still bombing. and from what I understand, we are now just starting to encourage them. He said, stay in your homes. It's too dangerous. And they were now just starting to encourage them to come out. So I would say give that a week. It's very hard. Look, in 1945, the German people were getting pounded from every area,
Starting point is 01:40:55 and they still did rise up against Hitler because the SS would have killed him, shot them down the streets. So you're facing 30,000 dead in Iran. Everybody knows somebody who got killed. But let's pray that it does happen. It's possible, but it's not as possible as the victory over Iran's military mechanism. That is assured. So what does the country become then, just this dictatorship that still is brutal, but it doesn't have the reach? Well, the wargaming is this. And again, I don't think I'm giving anything away. So the wargaming that's coming out of the Pentagon is that Iran is going to, and they may
Starting point is 01:41:44 have already done this, asked for a resumption of negotiation. And I think that will happen. And it could happen any time. And so they'll trot over to Geneva. and they'll rate that they promise to do X, Y, and see, of course, they'll break their promises. We all know they will. But they'll be humiliated to the extent that they'll be weakened. And then Trump will go in like Venezuela and basically run the show.
Starting point is 01:42:20 And the CIA and the American Intel will basically tell the arrays, you can do this, but you can't do that. And the sweetener will be, you know, we'll rebuild your economy, particularly, we'll spend the money to rebuild that infrastructure. Remember, that infrastructure is being torn apart now. So the Iranian people, you know, it's going to be like Cuba, what are we going to have to eat today? So that is one of the likely scenarios that they, the malls themselves, will ask to come to the table.
Starting point is 01:42:52 And then Trump, of course, would say, okay, but you're going to have to accede to everything we want. Let me take a quick break and come back with Bill O'Reilly. He's starting a new show today called We'll Do It Live. It's Bill O'Reilly and Rob Schneider, which should be just a scream, Bill O'Reilly.com. That's Bill O'Reilly.com. I'm going to come back, Bill, and I want to continue our conversation on this, but I also want to expand it to Cuba and what is happening in Cuba right now.
Starting point is 01:43:24 How do you see that playing out? More in just a second. First, our sponsor is real estate agents.Itrust.com. This is my company. And if you've ever noticed, you know, how different the same house can look, depending on who's showing it, what agent is. is showing it. One agent will walk through a place, you know, and it feels like a checklist. Here are the bedrooms, a square footage next house. Another agent walks through that same front door and suddenly you're seeing something different. They're pointing out the way the light hits the
Starting point is 01:43:48 kitchen in the morning. They know the story of the neighborhood. They can tell you why the homes on this street sell faster than the ones two blocks over. Same house, same price, completely different experience. That is what we look for in an agent. Great real estate agents don't just open doors. They're part negotiator. They're part. market analysts, they're part strategist, somebody who knows how to position a home so it sells well. So you get the best price for it. That's why real estate agentsitrust.com exists. We'll connect you with the top performing agents in your area. Just go to real estate agents.Itrust.com. We'll show you how to buy or sell a home the right way in a tough market. The name says it all.
Starting point is 01:44:27 It's real estate agents.itrust.com. 10 seconds. Station ID. So, Bill, let's look around the globe. I mean, it is an amazing. time to be alive right now. One thing about President Trump, I realized when he went into Iraq, I realized I could never be President of the United States because I would never have the guts to do some of the stuff that he has done that I think is probably the right decision. But, you know, like you said, it affects not only 350 million Americans, it affects everybody on the planet, some of the things that he's doing.
Starting point is 01:45:14 and that change is remarkable, the change in Venezuela, the possible change in Cuba. What do you see happening with Cuba? Well, Cuba will run the country, and there'll be an enormous amount of money going out of day to Havana. That's already underway. Wait, when you say we're going to, when you say we're going to run it, you mean Marco Rubio's going to run it? Yeah. The State Department will run it. Just like they do it in Venezuela in Caracas.
Starting point is 01:45:46 is they can't do anything where they got permission. It'll be the same thing in a van, and it'll be another deal. So they'll fold up the communism apparatus. The United States will promise to redevelop a lot of the industries in Cuba. The Cuban people will be dancing around the street. They'll dismantle a secret police, and there'll be a satellite of the United States. That's going to happen. So when you say we're going to run it, how should we be running those countries?
Starting point is 01:46:17 Is this a long-term thing? Is this like a Puerto Rico thing? What do these states become? Well, it depends on who the next president is and then down the lane. But Trump's vision is that the United States controls the Western atmosphere. He's obviously stated that. And that we're not going to tolerate unfriendly governments and governments that are harming Americans like the drug cartel people.
Starting point is 01:46:45 and we're just going to run the show here. That's what it is. So how long that last depends on what administration is there and on. But Cuba is not a difficult place to run. And that place has got on below. I was there a few years ago. Unbelievable beaches. And I mean, it'll be Vegas South.
Starting point is 01:47:11 And so that's what's going to happen there. but once you get into the Middle East, it's way more complicated. But you're asking good questions because the world is changing now. And here's a tip on it. So Trump is going to go to Beijing at the end of March. And I've been involved with that, as you may know, I was over in Beijing and talking to the Politburo over there at their request because they watch me on YouTube and they know that I have access to President Trump.
Starting point is 01:47:44 So anyway, you haven't heard China say a word about this Iran thing. And China gets a lot of its oil from Iran. You think they'd be screaming and yelling. They haven't said a word. What does that say? It says the deals already been made between the United States and China to supply China with oil. They'll buy our oil. They'll buy Venezuela oil.
Starting point is 01:48:07 Trump's vision is that we are such an economic power here in America that we have to run the show now. Because no one else will. I mean, Europe's cowardly. Spain, are you kidding me? I don't think I'll ever go to Spain again. They won't let U.S. planes refuel there. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 01:48:29 I mean, that's just spitting in our face. And I tell you, the world has divided, and you're seeing a new axis and allied powers. I mean, all of our, all of the old allies are being reassessed everywhere. Bill O'Reilly, we'll do it live. at Bill O'Reilly.com. You do not want to miss it. It premieres today at Bill o'Reilly.com. Thanks, Bill. God bless. Thanks for having me. All right. Let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Joes.
Starting point is 01:49:02 For most of us, history feels like something, you know, that happened a long time ago. You read it in books. You see it in documentaries and, you know, moments that are distant from your own life. But sometimes history is happening right now. We are living in history. Whether it turns out well or poorly, depends on what people choose to do in any given moment. The people of Israel are living through one of those moments right now, especially with a war in Iran that is heating up, families who are already living a very difficult part of the world and difficult times in their world, now have the daily reality of rocket attacks and uncertainty and the kind of fear that most of us can only imagine if we even think about it at all. That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists. For decades, they have built a bridge between Christians and the Jewish families. in Israel and around the world, providing food and shelter and security and life-saving aid when
Starting point is 01:49:53 people need it the most. Right now, that help is more important than ever before. Give $45 right now to rush life-saving essentials to the vulnerable under fire. 888-488-488-IFC or go online to IFCJ.org. That's IFCJ.org. On March 19th, Glenn exposes the jihad from within. this exclusive torch special live by joining glenbeck.com slash torch. All right. So we are having a special next week. You do not want to miss it. It's happening a week from tonight.
Starting point is 01:50:45 Write this down on your calendar. Make a note of it on your phone. Just don't miss it. It's a week from tonight on glenbeck.com slash torch. And it is the blueprints of the destruction of the West, the Islamic blueprints for the destruction of the West. and we take you through it and we have all kinds of experts. We have done literally probably what three or four months worth of research
Starting point is 01:51:10 just for this 90 minute special. It's a live documentary. And we have really tried to up our game. You know, he was doing these weekly specials and then we could get them really good, but we couldn't get them exactly right because we just never had the time because we were churning them out, you know, every week. And I wanted to take a deeper look so I could go. what we call internally a deep dive on certain subjects.
Starting point is 01:51:38 And so this first deep dive is on the blueprints of how Islam is planning on taking over. The Islamists are planning on Sharia law throughout the world. And America is a prime target. Remember, we're the great Satan. Let me, you know, let me hear, let me give you this. Here is a Chicago Islamist. He is a Islamic. scholar and he is explaining why Islamists are coming to America. Cut seven. This is Chicago. Listen.
Starting point is 01:52:12 Islam did not come to coexist. And Islam is raised high and nothing is raised above Islam. We can't think of Islam that it came to live with these other religions in the sense that Islam is a religion amongst those religions and they have a share with the truth and they have a share of justice. Islam came to correct all of that. came to remove all those religions, and it is the only true, and it is the only way to justice. Now, let me ask you, if this were being said by a political person that is engaged in, you know, in advocacy, and he was Christian, and he said, Christianity is here. It's above all other religions, and it will wipe out all other religions and replace all other religions. And that,
Starting point is 01:53:03 is why Christians are here in America to destroy and correct all other religions. Do you think the media would be on it? Do you think the media would be on it? The answer is, of course they would. Of course they would. They seem to be able to handle any kind of religious extremism unless it's just ordinary Christians who are like, you know, we're going to have a prayer meeting in the Capitol. Let me let me show, let me give you something else. New York City's first Muslim mayor, Mom Donnie, hosted a traditional Iftar dinner on Thursday in the historic blue, sorry, sorry. Yeah, oh, sorry, sorry yesterday. I got my days all screwed up. Anyway, in the blue room with Muslim influencers featuring prayer rugs and Florida floor, you know,
Starting point is 01:54:05 floor seating amid all the American flags and the George Washington portrait and everything else. And I want to play a video of what happened at this Iftar dinner Wednesday in the blue room. Here it is. Allah, we'll make some of that. A moment, we're asking yourself how you can reconnect with being talked. To the law.
Starting point is 01:54:38 Okay. So what's happening here? He's having this prayer dinner with everybody. Not a problem. Except he was just recently, do we have the video of him speaking at the mosque? Just recently, he was speaking at a mosque that's been linked to the, what is it, the alibi? Foundation, which the DOJ has accused being a front for the Iranian government. He just spoke there. And if we have the audio, can you play the prayer? Here's the audio. Last Ramadan, I was with many of you here at the procession on the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ali al-Ali-Salam.
Starting point is 01:55:35 It is a privilege to be here with you once again. I stand before you as the first Muslim mayor in our city's history. And this here as the first jimma that I have attended in that new position. So, I'll have menoenina on your day, and cutl the khaferin, by snyf it. Snappy number that they perform.
Starting point is 01:55:56 Okay, so what is that? What is the Imam reciting here? You know, it's not a Frank Sinatra hit. It is something called the sword verse. It's from the Quran. It's the verse that calls for the death of, of all infidels by the sword.
Starting point is 01:56:16 And Mom Dani is standing there listening to this, knowing what it is. Okay. Jason, you just finished up some of the interviews and the pre-interviews that we have for the special next week. And these are all experts on this. And you asked him about Mom Dani. What was the general feeling on him?
Starting point is 01:56:44 Some of the experts that we interviewed for this, some of them were Muslims as well, more on the line of like reformist Muslims. They're all against political Islam. But not only between the Muslim experts that we talked to and the others, every single one of them that I asked said that, yes, he is an Islamist. Yes, there is something else going on here. And I did not expect that at all. Well, if you remember right, who was it, Sarsur, Linda Sarsur, who is a deep Islamist? or involved with deep Islamists.
Starting point is 01:57:18 She said, how do you think he got in? He got in with our money, and he is going to be executing our philosophies, or there will be hell to be paid. So, I mean, she admitted that that's how he got in. And everybody is true. Listen to how, okay, so they just had the prayer rug meeting. Let me see if I can get the,
Starting point is 01:57:40 this is from the New York Times in February. Mamdani ushers in a new tradition. Ramadan in City Hall. Ramadan also comes at a particularly fraught time for Muslim immigrants who fear being targeted by federal agents while gathering for prayers or Iftar dinners. Show me the Iftar dinner that has been targeted by federal agents. Because I'll stand with you. I'll stand with you. Show me one. Show me one in New York Times.
Starting point is 01:58:16 But the allies of Mr. Mamdani are hoping this year's Ramadan could inspire more pride among the city's Muslims who after the September 11th attacks have had to contend with heightened surveillance, harassment, and increased Islamophobia. You got to be kidding me. That includes Mr. Mamdani. He has endured such hell. That man has endured such hell that he has endured such hell that he has. had to go vacation at his parents' very wealthy compound in other countries. He has come back only to be so oppressed that he becomes the mayor of New York City. Oh my gosh, what a horrible life this man has led. He's faced an onslaught of faith and ethnicity-based attacks during
Starting point is 01:59:04 the mayoral campaign. He has expressed concern that current political climate has made Muslim New Yorkers less safe. Right. You mean kind of like those Muslim New Yorkers that just tried to kill a bunch of protesters? Oh, no, wait. Those were anti-Muslim protesters that they were trying to kill. This period of piety as mayor could present the opportunity to showcase the realities of fasting and living one's faith as a political leader. New York Times, show me the other time that a Christian has had their political views as a political leader, their religious views, married in that you said, you know, the realities,
Starting point is 01:59:53 we should showcase the realities of fasting and living one's Christian faith as a political leader. You can't show me either of those things, because you never, ever do that. I can't take it. And that's, in a nutshell, what this special is going to be like if I don't learn to maybe I maybe I'll need a tranquilizer dart just off the stage and somebody like Ricky who has more control can just shoot me with a dart
Starting point is 02:00:27 in my neck halfway through the show because I think I might lose it burn a launcher coming in hot oh my gosh oh my gosh this is this when when America When will the majority of us stand up and say, I don't hate anybody. I don't hate anybody. But you're not taking over our culture. You're not taking over our country. If you want to believe that, believe that. But you're not jamming it down our, I was going to say, our necks.
Starting point is 02:01:04 You could try the throat, but if you have a head, they'll just jam it down your neck after they behead you with it. No. It is absolutely incompatible with Western society. It is incompatible. You know, let me just give you something. Let's just go through the Ten Commandments here. Let me go through the Ten Commandments. Judeo-Christian belief.
Starting point is 02:01:30 No gods. No gods. You'll have no gods before me. We believe that. Okay, as Christians. Now, you may not, because you may not be a Christian, you may not believe in, you know, religion or whatever. But Judeo-Christian values,
Starting point is 02:01:42 is what we're based on. And by the way, that doesn't mean necessarily, you know, you can't have Ralph your Wednesday God. It means what gods do you serve? Your mortgage, your job, your reputation, what is it that you serve? Because whatever it is that you spend all your time on, all your attention on, that's the God you serve. Okay. So, so Islamists believe it too, except, I mean, It's a little different because they believe in genies and gins. Now, as a recovering alcoholic, I believe in gin too, but it's not the same kind. No graven images. Yep, we both believe that.
Starting point is 02:02:30 No use of God's name in vain. We believe that they don't. Remember the Sabbath. Yep. Honor your father and mother. Yep. Thou shalt not murder. Yep.
Starting point is 02:02:42 except if you're an infidel. If you're an infidel, then I can murder you. You shall not commit adultery. Yep. Well, actually, not for everybody. Guys can have as many wives as they want. You know what? If that's an infidel and she just looks sexy because she's trying to trick me,
Starting point is 02:03:04 might be a genie, she's trying to trick me into it. I can rape her. But that's not adultery. That's just her sin, not mine. thou shalt not steal. Yep, well, not the Islamist. You know, if you're an infidel, I can steal from you. Shall not bear false witness.
Starting point is 02:03:21 Yep, well, unless you're an Islamist, and then, you know, I can lie to you, you know, if you're an infidel. You shall not covet your neighbor's house. Yep, except for, well, the infidels. So you see, it's not really the same thing. It's not the same God. God has standard rules. Not, hey, if you believe in me, then you're good. If you don't believe in me, you could rape them. Sure. Incompatible with Western civilization. Don't miss the special. It might be my last special. Don't miss my special. It is at glenbeck.com slash torch. Sign up for it right now. It happens live next Thursday. You don't want to miss this one. Back in a minute. I'll tell you about rough greens. If dogs could talk, it would be weird, wouldn't it?
Starting point is 02:04:17 They would also probably have a few things to say about what you're feeding them. Not complaints exactly. Questions like, really, this is it? I mean, same bowl, same kibble every day, forever. If you think about what we feed our dog, it's most dry food. And it's designed for shelf life and convenience. It's not necessarily anything really that your dog's body might benefit from. I mean, it'll fill them up, but where's the nutrition?
Starting point is 02:04:44 Rough greens is where it comes in. Rough greens is not a dog food. It's a nutritional supplement. You sprinkle right on top of your dog's existing food. It makes it taste better. They love it. But it's also designed to add many of the vitamins and minerals and nutrients that are missing from processed kibble back into their food.
Starting point is 02:04:59 So your dogs, you know, still gets the food that they're used to, but with a lot of a lot more nutrition in the bowl and I think it tastes better. Whatever is in it, they love it. For a lot of dog owners, it's just a simple change. that can make a big difference in their dog's energy, the coat, the way they behave, how their body is working, whether they're, honestly, whether they're stinking up the house with their stinky dog farts or not.

Starting point is 02:06:41 recap on the poll. Ricky was yelling me earlier because I said something to, right after Mike Lee, Mike had nothing to do with it. And I started going off on John Thune. Worthless piece of crap when it comes to getting anything done in Congress. And, and Ricky was like, you know, that's probably why you don't get
Starting point is 02:07:01 John Thune on the air. Okay, you're rewriting history. You said, was I too harsh on John Thune? And I said, no, I didn't say that. You're rewriting history. What I said was that probably wasn't the thing to say with Mike Lee on the phone. Did I hurt Mike Lee with John Thune? Okay, maybe you're right. But yeah, we took a poll and you're still winning, but. Because the poll was, How should Glenn approach his insults about Rhino Congress members? 87% said, burn it all down, no holds barred. 13% agree with me. We shouldn't burn bridges so we can interview them and then burn them on air.
