The Glenn Beck Program - The Iran Strategy that No One Is Talking About | Guest Host: Justin Barclay | 3/5/26

Episode Date: March 5, 2026

Do you feel like you’re missing the big picture regarding Iran? You aren't the only one. Filling in for Glenn, Justin Barclay shares a new poll revealing that the strikes on Iran are opposed by a small, but loud number of Republicans. Yet it's important to remember how close we came to not just losing President Trump in July 2024, but losing the country and maybe the world, and Justin explains why he isn't worried about the poll numbers. Justin also discusses how critical it is for Congress to pass the SAVE Act to ensure safe and free elections. In the state of Georgia, no stranger to some weird election shenanigans, a lawmaker looks to pass a state version of the bill. Greg Dolezal - a Georgia state senator and candidate for Lieutenant Governor - joins the program to discuss the bills he has introduced and how important the state of Georgia will be in determining the country's future. What is the bigger picture with Operation Epic Fury? Justin is joined by Tudor Dixon, host of the Tudor Dixon Podcast and former Michigan gubernatorial candidate, to discuss how the strikes affect the other CRINK countries just as much as they affect Iran, as well as the support of President Trump among Republicans being higher than that of other Presidents at this same point in their second term. Just how much better is living in Florida compared to Democrat-controlled cities and states? Scott Singer, the mayor of Boca Raton, joins to discuss his city's growth and how it can serve as a roadmap for the rest of the country. Justin is joined by Kyle Olson, the founder of The Midwesterner, to discuss Congress voting down the release of reports regarding the sexual misconduct and harassment by members of Congress and how obvious it is based on the results of the vote that the Democrats have never cared about the victims of Epstein or anyone else, they have always been using it as a political tool.

Justin Barkley in for Glenn today, coming to you from, well, it's not necessarily frozen today, but it has been the frozen tundra of Michigan. We get rain today, but, you know, the interesting thing is

And we're just down in Florida in the free state of Florida. I got some observations spending some time in Fort Myers and the fantastic affiliate there, 92.5. And you got a chance to listen to that stage. What a great place. Man, Florida is red. And yes, it's conservative, but even bigger than that, it's on fire. It's booming in ways that states like Michigan, and, of course, People's Republic of California and some of these others just aren't. I've got some observations of that.

I want to share with you today because there's things that I think we can learn from the standpoint nationwide, state by state, that I think are really going to make a difference. And, you know, I'm just... It was hard. It was almost hard to come back. It's no wonder why folks are moving there

in droves and businesses, too. In fact, we're going to talk with somebody a little bit later on in the program. One of the mayors there who's seeing it happen in real time right now. and he's going to kind of give us a little bit of an insight on that. We're going to talk a little bit about obviously what's happening around in the situation that continues to develop. History being made. Some of the pieces that you may not even heard, we've got some pieces of polling that I want to talk about too.

In fact, there's some things that came out in the last year or so that I think help us make a little bit better sense of what's happening, at least politically. And that is, that's one of the biggest pieces, specifically as we get into the midterms here. And folks really look at what we'll talk about Texas to what just happened there and more. But that's, that's something that I think has to be examined. And then, of course, the War Powers Act that voted took place yesterday. But what about the Save Act? And did they ever find Nancy Guthrie? And that's just how fast in this moves now.

And I hate to say it, but it's just coming at you every day. I say, in my program, it's like drinking from a firehouse. You can't, it's just never, we never have enough time to keep up with it all. What is it doing to our brains, by the way? I mean, what is the human brain meant to take in all the information that we're getting on a daily basis? And how do you, how do you survive that? Really, it's about making sure that you cut through the noise. you get straight to the heart of the matter or what matters most.

We're going to attempt to do some of that today, and I know this Glenn does that a daily basis. So we will dive in. First, I want to start with some of the latest polling that's come out. And I talked about this yesterday on my program in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am at Wood Radio, News Radio 1,60196.9 FM. And I noted this, because I've seen some of this flying around, and I've seen the conversation, probably the same that you have.

All the mag is done. You know, there's no support for what's happening in Iran right now. It's just the end of the world. You've seen it. It's doom and gloom. Sky is falling. Chicken little black pill. This is all the things that you see.

And it's all coming from the same people. By the way, it's every subject. You ever notice this? It's every subject, every story. It's the same thing. And I mean, I don't know how to shake it other than to tell you that, if you're watching it, if you're seeing it happening,

you don't necessarily feel the same way, don't let it infect you. Because that's exactly what some of this is, a little bit of a mind virus. I'd like this. Sort of I can pull the curtain back that and explain how that works. But first, let me give you the polling.

So this is essentially, and there's several different polls, by the way, this is aggregated. I've seen this put together. in another of different places, but it was my initial gut reaction when I saw some of this coming out. You know, I don't necessarily think, and it's Democrats, it's rhinos, it's some of the black-pilled, dolemen gloom folks that have walked down this run. Now, I'm not, I will tell you this at the same time.

I'm not, as I mentioned these things, I'm not discounting that we are walking in very, very critical times. I'm not going to discount that we're in a crucial moment here, not just in the history of our nation, as we come up to the 250th year celebration here in July 4th. We're in a very precarious moment. I don't have to tell you that. You can feel it.

Everything that's led us up to this point. And it's hard to, it's really hard sometimes you have to force yourself to go back and think, Even I want to talk about the stuff on a daily basis, but you have to force yourself to go back and confront it. Think about where we are and how we got here. What the last four years was like. I mean, it was a dumpster fire.

That's putting it lightly. On the daily, the Biden administration, whoever was running on open, I don't know. At the end of the day, they were doing everything they could, and it warps speed to undo everything Trump had done in his previous four years. and I'd be honest with you, I think that's the only reason why Americans woke up and felt it got involved because it happens so fast. Usually these progressives, they use the slow and steady wins the race strategy. It's slow and over time like a frog in a boiling pot of water.

They just gradually bring that heat up and then eventually you turn around. You got men in the women's dressing rooms. you got men, grown men with hair on their faces trying to change in the locker room with your wife at the gym and they're trying to go in the bathroom with your daughter at the grocery store. There's enough was enough. And the American people stood up and said,

I can't do this anymore. That's how fast it flew. Anyway, don't forget how far we've come. It is my conviction that we are in this moment for such a time as this that the president, Donald J. Trump, his life was spared for the exact intersection in history where we're at right now. There's no doubt about it.

Not when I saw it happen back July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania. And then when we find out the specifics of what actually happened and how, as my good friend, Pastor Lorenzo Seul, likes to call it the millimeter miracle occurred. You know, we're just millimeters away from a completely stark different reality that we, I don't even want to imagine what it would have been like. Why do I mention all of this?

Because it's important to lay the groundwork as we look every day at what we faced and how fast the Trump administration is moving, what they're doing. Will they break things? Will they always get it right? Yeah, there's probably going to be some times where maybe, maybe they make some mistakes. Why am I willing to forgive that? I'm not a Trump apologist by the way. I just see the bigger picture.

And that's why I just reminded you of it. There are some folks that are missing the forest for the trees in this situation. I think there's some folks that are missing the 30,000 foot viewpoint on all of this. There are some folks who I agree with on quite a bit of few. Actually,

quite a bit of things and policies and principles and we agree quite a bit on a lot of things, but they're missing. And what they're missing is the lot of the thinking they do, a lot of the determinations they do, well, it plays out great in the classroom. But when you get into the real world, all bets are off. So it is no doubt in my mind that we are where we are at right now,

only because of the grace of God. And folks, if we acknowledge that, I think we've got to acknowledge that wherever we go forward will be only. But by the grace of God. And this is something that I think we have unplugged from through the years. And hopefully as we celebrate 250 years here in America, we can be reminded by that and get back on track. So why do I bring all of that up? The polling is important.

Maga Unity poll show Republicans opposed to Trump's Iran strikes are loud. but small minority. In fact, I got the details here. I want to dig into the numbers and tell you why I think this is important. Why you need to hear this. So you don't get sort of pulled by the nose, like I'm seeing happen in so many different ways

for so many different people right now. Don't get pulled around by the nose by social media, by algorithms, by billionaires who want to and insist on shaping the way, the world, the way they want it to go. No, don't do that. Lock in.

So let me get to those numbers. I'll break it down for you coming up here in just a little bit and tell you why I think this matters. And what happens next as we also bring some breaking those here on the Iran situation. We'll be back. Quick break. Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program right after this. If you've received a notice from the IRS, do not ignore it. The IRS doesn't issue empty warnings. They will take action if you miss their deadlines.

This is especially true if you own a business. and you're behind on payroll taxes. The IRS can shut down your business, seize your accounts, even go after you personally. Now, trying to handle the IRS alone, a little bit risky, and could leave you in a much worse situation. You need professional support.

All right, let's get these numbers broken down as it were.

So we've been hearing about how unpopular everything. In fact, there was a poll that came out the other day. I said, this whole thing's unpopular. There's only 27% of the people. I thought to myself, you know, it's actually a good warning sign for a lot of these folks that are saying, yeah, this is the same old, same old. He's said no more foreign wars and no more this and no more than. He's doing the same thing.

He's just in the O'Connor. All these people jumping ship on the Trump administration. And I want to prove to you just with the polling numbers. That initial poll, why that's not the case. Think back to Iraq and Afghanistan and all of these. others that they, through the years, pushed us into. There was a drumbeat of war that you couldn't ignore. And the polling for that war for sending our kids off, et cetera, the polling was much higher.

In fact, that was the point of this poll that came out, kind of the subhead line of is, well, it's just that this thing's not even as popular as Eric War. But it's because the CIA and the government, everybody that does what they do behind the scenes, along with the mockingbird media, et cetera. They were busy. They were busy behind the scenes, getting you all frothed up foaming at them out, ready for war. That's not what happened here.

If we're to believe what the Trump administration tells you, I have no reason not to, this was an opportunity that presented itself. They were in diplomatic negotiations. Iran comes to the table and says, hey, we got all this, you're right? We're going to make 11 nuclear weapons with what we got now.

Almost like they're bragging about it. We got your number. And so, can you imagine what that was like for folks sitting on the Trump side of things in the United States here? Iran thought that that would scare us away. In fact, that actually scared us into action. They realized we had to act. And when we got the intelligence,

the old Ayatollah was having a bombed brunch. Well, it wasn't getting bombed with Momosis. It was something else that was raining from the sky that, day, it just happened. And imagine the hubris those folks had to have. It just so happened that they were able to make that strike and take out, what was it, 40, 50 people that day. It's incredible. So yes, they constantly have war plans and plans of attacks and counterattacks and all these things they have to do plan behind the scenes. That's obvious. And that's, you know, it's wise to do. That's prudent. But at the same time, this thing came out of the blue. That's if,

We're to believe everything they told us. And again, I don't have any reason not to. But what I will tell you is this. That to me tells us it's not the same old same old same of what you're watching here. In fact, there's a different, the Don Road doctrine. We've got other military. And for Glenn talk about this too. Military operations, he's got different strategies.

Trump, it seems like if we're watching history, at least recent history, what he did in Venezuela, goes in surgically, strategic, pulls the trigger, and moves on, gets the job done. Most folks, I think when they're asked about that, they're not really opposed to that. Now, you don't want protracted, you don't want boots on the ground, you don't want Americans in harm's way ever, but you definitely don't want Americans over there fighting. And I get that. I understand that. I feel the same way.

But I don't think that's what we're watching right. now. And only time we'll tell. We'll have to see how everything develops. But at the end of the day, here's the thing. We elected the guy. And I don't know about you, but I hate to think of what it'd be like of Kamala Harris, we're the president right now. Can you even imagine? So I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm giving it the grace. And I like what I see so far. I'm just telling you the other piece of this is another piece that we haven't really dug in too much. And maybe we'll do that coming up here in just a little bit. But the other piece of this is what happens. behind the scenes. Yes, you have the people of Iran, Persia, etc. We're being being liberated.

My heart just breaks for the things that they've gone through. We've actually seen a Christian revival happening in that country in a lot of ways from the reports we've seen. Moss is being closed because people just don't show up anymore. Some of the reports I've heard. And that's fantastic. So you've seen a lot of the pressure of the things happening behind the scenes as a resistance. These folks have been fighting in ways that we've just, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, we've, you probably haven't heard. But it's critical. That's a great thing. I love that.

I also love the fact that they're not going to be able to do any damage to this country anymore. If all of this goes through that, we completely crippled their air defenses. They're flying B-52s for the first time. Over over-ricks and low-flying drones because they've got no way to hit back. It's incredible what they've done. It's sunk all those Navy ships, the torpedo on the other day. We'll talk about that coming up here in just a little bit, too. So taking out the threat to America and Americans.

From the folks, I don't know about you, but I stand with the people who didn't chant death to America. From the folks who chanted death to America. When people say these things, you need to take them for their word, folks. But there's one other piece of this, too, that's very important. It has to do with China. So we'll talk about that coming up here in just a little bit as well. I want to make sure that we get into because it's one of the bigger. pieces. It's just, it's quietly not being talked about behind the scenes as much as I think

it deserves a little bit more attention. Coming up on the program today, plus I want to talk about that save act that's just sort of disappeared off the radar as well. There's a few of these stories that we need to check it on. Yeah, that's right. We'll do it coming up after this, the Glenn Beck program. Justin Barkley and for Glenn today, I love to connect with you at Mr. Justin Barkley all over social media, Justin Barkley.com. back next in the Glendbeck program. You've been hearing about the struggles with the country's housing market for a couple of years now. Higher mortgage rates have led to stagnation,

and home sellers and buyers are sitting on the sideline. Well, the Fed has dropped the rates, but it really hasn't solved the issue. Home buyers and sellers are facing, and if you need to sell or buy a home, I strongly urge you to check out my company. Real estate agents, I trust.com. Our agents are remarkable and equally important is that they're just good and decent people. They're like-minded.

Just go to real estate agents.itrust.com. We'll show you how to sell or buy a home even in this tough market. The name says it all. Real Estate Agents.itrust.com.

Backed after it on the Glenn Beck program, Justin Barclay in for Glenn today. And we still need to talk about this China piece. Let me do that coming up here because I think this is the biggest, this is kind of the biggest piece of the puzzle that a lot of people aren't talking about and what's actually getting done. Just think about it. Just a little bit of a preview for you. But just think about what's happened here.

in the first year of this Trump administration. You have, well, number one, we get back to Panama Canal. Number two, Venezuela, who knows how far Cuba is behind. Now Iran. If you look at what is happening, these are chess moves. And President Trump is making the take away cheap oil from China. Why does this matter? That's what I want to get into, and I want to dig in a little bit further,

because it's the things you're not hearing about behind the scenes. There's a lot of stuff that's loud out there right now. And I get it. There's a lot of stuff that even pulls me sometimes, pulls me a... What is that? It pulls me in that direction. Am I being distracted from the distracted? Let me get back from the distraction now.

You get back to my other distraction. So that's part of what we have to sort of consider as we're watching all of these things and ask the question, okay, what am I not hearing? What do I need to pay a little bit more closer attention to? Because you've got everybody yelling and screaming and does he have the power to do this? Well, I mean, that's a whole other conversation. And I say yes. But I want to walk that out a little bit further before we're really going to go down that road.

In the meantime, what is he doing? It all goes back to China. It has. to. And if you put the pieces together, you start to see the picture getting a little more clear. So one of the other things that we've completely forgotten and poor Nancy Guthrer in the, in the middle of all of them, we were wall to wall with Nancy. Everybody was on Nancy Guthrie watch it. I pray they find her. I mean, this is, still don't have answers, right? But you notice how fast you moved because they pulled you off of her? You know how fast?

We've even had some Epstein files to talk about in the middle of this. We've got all these different things. And everybody's wondering, well, what's the distraction? What's the distraction? Maybe I'm being, like I said, distracted from the distraction. Anyway, what I'm saying is there are other things that need to happen. We were full in Save Act mode. We were full in Save Act mode.

Talking about the vote just took place. It's got to come up in the center. They've got to bring it up. And of course, to save America, we've got to make sure that these elections are overhauled. We've got to make sure they're buttoned up. and I don't care where you stand on 2020. We don't even have to go back there to talk about we've got to make sure that we're buttoned up and there is never even appearance of impropriety in our elections.

Lots of different ideas and ways of how we get there. I personally love the ID. I think you need to prove you're an American citizen. I think if I need to show ID to buy some cold medicine at the drugstore, well, you ought to be able to find it and present. present it to vote. I don't really think making it harder to vote is a bad thing in a lot of

I just think there ought to be a little effort, especially if you consider what all went in to founding this country and, of course, for keeping us free all of these years. So anyway, this is a massive piece of

what needs to happen behind the scenes. And we do have some updates on nationally what's happening. But let's go to Georgia right now. Because they're looking at doing this. In fact, on a state level in Georgia, a state who's, let's be honest, no stranger to some shenanigans. Craig joins us right now. Greg does all is in Georgia as we speak. Greg looking at putting a piece of this together right now in Georgia. And you're the state in Fulton County, Fannie Willis and the rest of it, of course, how your pipe's doing this morning? I probably should ask Greg. Are any other

The pipes leaking there, as everything could in Georgia this morning. Justin Pipe's only leak in November, so we're good so far today. This is incredible. Well, you know, it's not much worse than what happened here in Michigan, you know, where I'm at, in Detroit at the TCAF Center at the time where they're counting these votes and the shenanigans start to happen. They start putting pizza boxes up on the window. I don't know about you, but nothing. Nothing says transparency of like closing off the wind. does. So people are trying to see what's going on inside where all this stuff is happening.

They can't see and their view is blocked. It's incredible. What's in your version of what you'd like to see happen in Georgia? Yeah, I've got two bills in Georgia that will be on the floor of the state senate tomorrow. The first is the Save Amendment. So we want to amend the Georgia Constitution to do what D.C. seems incapable of doing, which is to take a lead on voter ID in the Constitution and the state constitution and requiring people to prove that they're an American citizen to register to vote. This should be low-hanging fruit, but it's going to be incredibly controversial. I believe every Democrat will probably vote against the bill on the floor, just like they did in committee. But the second piece of what I'll move to tomorrow is to get

rid of the Dominion machines in Georgia and move to a handmarked paper ballot so that we'll vote in Georgia the same way they vote in Florida, which is on a hand-marked paper ballot. Then we put a number of other audit provisions and other kind of back-end election security into place. The bill would levy significant fines on counties like Fulton County that refuse to clean their voter rolls. I've traveled around Fulton County and done some X videos showing that we've got thousands of people illegally registered to vote in Fulton County using UPS stores, abandoned buildings, parking lots, homeless shelters that have been closed for a decade, and Fulton County just refuses is to clean up their voter rolls.

So we've got to put the force of law behind that to force their hand on cleaning those roles. Yeah, I mean, I couldn't agree more. When you look at this and we've got the same problem here in Michigan, our Secretary of State, who I believe is one of the most lawless in the history of the state. She's been told a number of time by judges that she's breaking the law, and she is.

One of the things that we go back to 2020, where she told them we had this massive, you know, these ballots coming in absentee or whatnot, mail-in. in historic levels, she told the local clerks, the county clerk, you don't have to inspect those signatures on that. Wouldn't that be the time you'd want to take a closer look just to make sure that everything's on the up and up? So we've got that, and we've got her patting the voter rolls,

refusing to clean them up. Many of the same problems you have. Sounds like they're all running the same playbook. Yeah, I do think it's the same playbook. It's, you know, Fulton County currently, they're required by... by law to have two Republicans, two Democrats, and one person nominated by the Fulton County chairman on their board of elections. So you're supposed to have essentially two, two, and one. And the reality is in Fulton County, the one is always going to be a Democrat. So they already

have a three to two structural advantage on their county election board. But they are refusing to confirm the appointment by the Republican Party of one of the Republican nominees. So you've got now a three to one advantage because they refuse to seat one of the Republicans. They've been ordered by a judge three separate times to seat the Republican. They refuse to do it. They've been fined by the courts, $10,000 a day for refusing to seat the Republican. And they still refuse to do it. So this is banana republic-level stuff happening in Fulton County.

I've actually called on the state election board to take over the Fulton County elections because they refuse to follow the plain reading of Georgia law. And we've got to restore confidence in these elections. And we're, you know, we're one of these states that you've got essentially one massive city and then everyone else. And that massive city, Atlanta being in Fulton County, that one county swayed the election statewide. And so if that county ignores the law, you really end up in a situation where no one trusts the outcome of the election. because Fulton County refuses to play by the rules. Let me switch gears, if I can, just a little bit here, because Greg, you're in Georgia,

you're a state senator there. You're also looking at proposing banning Sharia law there. How about is it in Georgia right now? It's definitely not Michigan or Texas, but you do see attempts really in every state in the union to allow parallel legal systems through these tribunals. And I've introduced a law to ensure that we only have American laws in Georgian courts. And I think that's something we should be looking to do statewide

because a lot of times, or sorry, nationwide, every state should be looking at doing this. Because oftentimes what you see is a parallel legal system gets set up through these tribunals where they will adjudicate cases based on Sharia law. and in some of those cases, the outcomes of the ruling will violate constitutional rights given specifically oftentimes to women under the United States Constitution that is not protected in Sharia law. And so that is just the camel nose under the tent. And we need to ensure that we push back against that injection of Sharia law into American courts in every state in the union.

Now, you are in Georgia right now. you're also, did they see you qualified for a lieutenant governor? I did, just qualified two days ago to run statewide in this year's election. So how does it work, Terry? It works a little bit differently here in Michigan, but you're on the ballot then? You're on the ballot separate. You guys may have like a co-ticket where the governor picks the lieutenant governor. Yeah, we actually have two, it's a completely separate constitutional office.

So conceivably, you could have a scenario where, the lieutenant governor and governor are from opposite parties. And so I'm running for lieutenant governor, and I believe that we're in a fight to save Western civilization. I think that we save the West by saving America. And providentially, I think that we save America by saving Georgia. Georgia is ground zero, really for every nationwide election right now. The control of the United States Senate runs through Georgia.

The road to the White House runs through Georgia. We've got every single constitutional officer in Georgia is a Republican. and we've got two Democrat United States senators, largely due to what happened in the 2020 election. And so we are a hinged state, I believe, in the fight to save the Republic. I don't have enough time to talk to you. You sound like a very interesting individual, Greg. And, you know, it's interesting, sir. I just read in your bio, probably the piece that is one of the most interesting is that you spent 11 years working as a tour manager for Christian artist Chris Tomlin, who I'm familiar with.

That's got, I bet you got some stories. Man, I've got some stories. I tell people I spent 10 years sleeping two feet away from Chris Tomlin, but we were in separate, we were separated by curtain and a piece of plywood. So nothing nefarious there. But, yeah, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to be on the road with Chris from 2005 to 2016, really as his career was getting started and then was a rocket ship and got to see him share the gospel all over the world. And it was really, really a lot of fun.

Yeah, there's so much happening right now, even in Iran as we speak, as we've heard about Christian revival happening there and all over the place. Well, I bet we could talk for hours about some of these things. But thank you for taking the time. Before I let you go, what's the best way people can catch up, maybe stay up to date with things that are happening, whether in Georgia or beyond with you? Best option is Dolazol for GA on X. That's where we're exposing all of the illegal shenanigans of Fulton County. a lot of the stuff that we're working on in real time. We keep everybody updated there.

There you go. Just gave you a follow myself. Dullazol for GA. Thank you, Greg. Appreciate you being here with us today, Senator. Thanks, Josh. And it's pleasure. You got it.

God bless. Dull is all for GA. That's D-O-L-E-Z-A-L for GA over on X. And like I said, I want to talk about, I want to talk about China. I want to talk about what's really going on. with some of the things we're watching in Iran. And there's pieces of this that maybe we're not even privy to just yet.

We'll do just that. But I felt it important at least to bring up this Save Act on a national level. We'll get some updates on what's moving there. But it is interesting to see that states are looking at some of these versions as well. We need to have election integrity lockdown. And now more than ever, folks, as we continue to move into the future look. I say this quite often. Unfortunately, Republicans, folks on the right,

I don't think, want to save the country as much as Democrats, progressive, and the left. Mostly the radicals really want to destroy it. And it's time for us to get into action. So we'll talk more about that coming up today in the Glenn Beck program. Justin Barkley, in for Glenn today,

back after this on the Glenn Beck program. You're going to have to hold that thought, my friend. We got a schedule to kill. We'll be back. We'll be back. We've all done it. We tried to save a buck or two, buying a knockoff that ends up being more costly to fix or replace. Hopefully we've learned in the end. Knockoffs are not a good idea.

Restrictions apply, C, rep for promotion details. All right, we're talking oil prices. In fact, that's some of what we have on the radar today to keep an eye on with everything that's happening,

obviously, in Iran. And I think it ties in to China, and what I want to talk about. In fact, coming up, we'll do just that in the next hour. But this is, this is what the press secretary

he had to say about oil prices yesterday. To your first question about oil prices, thank God we have a president who has exuded American energy dominance over the past year in an administration that is wholeheartedly focused on keeping prices stable as best as we can. Of course, this operation is temporary to protect the homeland, but crude oil prices did fall yesterday. They remained stable today after the president announced steps to ensure the stability in global energy markets.

Again, those include the DEC offering reasonably priced political risk insurance and the potential for the U.S. Navy to provide protection for the flow of energy through the state, through the strait of Hummus. It is the president's belief in his economic team's belief that the economy continues to be very strong. It's robust and will be able to weather any of the temporary impacts of Operation Epicure. We're talking oil here. We're talking gas prices here in America. I know that matters to your wallet, but guess who else that matters to? We'll talk about that and dig into why all of this, the secret reason maybe some of this is happening behind the scenes. Next hour, Justin Barkley, in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

Back next. Barkley in for back today on the Glenn Beck program, and Mano Man, the News never stops. That's why we've got the latest. We're going to talk about what's happening around, of course. I want to share with you what I think is really happening. She's going to break down what you're not saying behind the curtain. Speaking of what's happening behind the curtain,

you're about this vote that took place in Congress yesterday? Mainstream media really quiet on this one. And they've got no excuse now talking about the Epstein files at all when they're held accountable for this vote. We'll talk about that and more all coming up. So strap in. Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glendbeck program. Right now there's a dog resting on a couch somewhere.

Not sick, not in crisis. just maybe a little slower than they used to be. Maybe stiff getting up, maybe less excited at meal time.

get into some of these things. And I think, I think, again, you just don't hear or see on the nightly news. You're just not going to hear, certainly not on MSDNC 13 or whatever they're calling it now. Just, you're just not going to see some of this. And, you know, other than obviously, Glenn and just a very few small places, you're not getting the full context, the full picture. Justin Barclay, by the way, in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program. You find me at at Mr. Justin Barclay all over social media, Justin Barclay.com.

Love to hear from you too. You can email me, Justin at Justin Barclay.com, and I love the chat. I love hearing from folks. This is the brightest audience in radio. It's the torch burns bright here. I'm telling you, I've had the pleasure. of feeling every single time it's in honor since 2019. I just love

talking with you folks in this story. It's like a breath of fresh air. So you are going to, I am sure you're going to see a lot of what I'm about ready to tell you. And some of this may be me preaching to the choir, but I'm going to endeavor to do this because

there are people listening, believe it or not, who don't always agree with what we agree with. And we welcome them in, you know, with open arms. We want you. We want you. It's actually disagree. I love to hear from you too. But listen, it's important that you hear. It's important we have these conversations

and that we keep conversations going in the country. And maybe now more than ever. So here's what I want to take you behind the scenes so that you can understand. A lot of times the mainstream media and the folks

certainly that you may read online And social media is big with this now, too. I mean, it's the new media. They do a lot of talking about things that you don't necessarily. You may even call them distractions. And they see surface on a lot of it, and we're pulled around very easily because of the algorithms. That's talked about that earlier in the program.

But there are things that we must consider, and there are things that need to be talked about. Like, why around? Why now? And I see a lot of the low-hanging fruit. And so, to be honest with you, some of it's pretty lazy in the explanation about what's going on and why we're there and what's happening. And I understand some of it. Look, we're so overwhelmed with everything that it's easy to jump, you know, conspiracy theories. And look, look, I own a tinfoil hat.

Okay. So don't get me wrong. I'm not using that worded a pejorative, but I'm saying that, because, Because we don't know. And quite often, now more than ever, and we've got access to all kinds of information. But because we don't know things, we're always looking for answers.

And it just doesn't feel good. You know, it doesn't feel good in your bones. It hurts your brain, in fact, when you don't have answers to things. There is a piece. And by the way, this is a faith thing for me, but there is a piece beyond understanding that only comes when you sort of

rest in the fact that you can't know it all, and only God does. In fact, that's a whole other conversation for a whole other time, but it's the subject of the book that I wrote. Good news, hope and encouragement for trying times. So I won't get into all of the machinations of it, but I will tell you that that's part of why we see so much of the rise, and you see people, you know who I'm talking about, you see people on a daily basis, you go, what happened to them? You know, we could become victims. You have more than ever before in the history of the world have weapons aimed at you on a daily basis that you don't even realize.

I'm not talking about nukes. I'm talking about weapons of mass destruction. That's what we're talking about. I mean, it's the phone that you're carrying. It's the TV that you're watching. It's the radio every now and then you'll get things that will come through. And, you know, I'm even guilty of it. We try our best.

And I know Glenn goes above and beyond to make sure that everything you hear is right and everything you hear is accurate. But in the fog of war, sometimes we don't get. I think I posted something the other day. I found out, oh, that was AI. Or it's part of a video game. I'd take it down immediately. And I was like, oh, no, that wasn't good. But even I got God.

It's going to happen, right? So that's why I bring some of this up to tell you when we look behind the curtain here, like we're going to do. There's a reason for it. So what's happening in Iran? Well, we have, you know, the nuclear threat. We have freeing and liberating the people. And not that's it just, all those things are great just cause. And particularly defending the country, I think that's major.

We know that these people shout a death to America. We know they had massive attempts and several on the president's life. I mean, these are all things that played into it. You take one thing or the other. And like I said, it's kind of lazy just to go, it was this. And particularly if it's something along the, the lines of, well, Israel made us do it or whatever. It's just not the case.

Now, I'm sure they're very pleased that we're involved. But you have to see the fuller picture here, folks. And one of those pieces that I think a lot of people are missing here is this. Go back a couple of days. There's a whole other thing. I slept in on Saturday. I wake up, everything's buzzing. And I think to myself, oh, no, I missed it.

The president was up late, and all of these things were happening on the other side of the world. It's funny because, you know, the whole world shifts right before you've even had your morning cup of coffee. That's just the world we live in now. But Operation Epic Fury was underway. They had coordinated strikes deep inside around it. You know, and I know now what it took to make that possible. In fact, I saw some really interesting pieces that they actually used in 10. intelligence from traffic cameras to track the Ayatollah.

They used Iran's own panopticon, their own digital prison against them to track these guys know exactly where they were going to be. That's fascinating to me. But to know all the pieces and how it all went down, that's one thing. To know why is a whole other. And let me just, if I may, suggest another piece of the puzzle that hasn't been talked about as loudly in the news. And I think there's a reason for that.

but I want you to understand, so you have a full grasp of what we're dealing with and what the president is trying to accomplish it. It all centers around one piece. So when it went in, they didn't nibble around the edges with this attack. They went to the throat. Nuclear facilities. You got missile factories, naval bases. And like I said, the detap capitation, you got those 49, 50, whatever it was, people that were, at the very top. The very top of the whole thing.

The Supreme Leader gone. The Muller's terror machine bleeding out in real time. And in fact, it keeps changing. Every now I see another update. Have they picked one? I saw the mean the other day. The black smoke rising from the building there, and they said,

black smoke meets kind of like they picked the pole. They have not picked another Ayatollah. They were unsuccessful. They keep bombing the people when they tried to meet to do this. Anyway, here's what the media is not going to tell you. Here's what the dots, they're not going to connect on this, okay? This isn't just about stopping a nuclear Iran. It's about something much, much bigger.

Essentially, we're talking about shifting global powers, and it is America first in ways that many people couldn't even begin to imagine. It is proactive, and yet it is defensive, all at the same time. And it all centers around China. Energy dominance. Keeping China in check. Yes, it's connected to Venezuela. It's connected to the Panama Canal, and it's all one seamless master stroke.

But you have to realize Trump is playing checkers. And people are trying to explain this. He's playing chess. Everybody else is playing checkers. They're trying to explain this in a completely different way. That's why you hear all these explanations. They just don't add up. Now, I'm not getting into a 4D, 5D chess or any of that stuff.

I'm just saying what we're watching is a different game than what people are actually explaining it. Let me break it down. Okay, let me make it as plain. Okay, China is the world's largest importer of oil. And for years, you know, they've been buying nearly 90%, 80% of 80% of, the Rance Crud. It's incredible. Massive discounts. And they do it all through shadow fleets, backdoor deals, because of course, you know you've got these sanctions and everything else. Well, aside from Obama dropping off, pallets of cash

and Biden doing very similar. This is how they survive. Gipsall supplying drones to Russia. And all of this, the cheap oil, the drones, etc., It keeps the Ayatollahs in power. And it fuels China's factories all while they laugh at us. But not anymore. Not after what happened this weekend. There's more to this. I want to dig in a little bit further to explain what happened over the weekend and what continues to happen.

So that you can understand when you hear the argument, this isn't America first. You can understand what really is going on behind the scene. and why it matters. Back after this, Justin Barkley, in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program. When an emergency hits, it doesn't send out a warning. The power goes out, cell towers overload, and then suddenly your phone is nothing but a flashlight.

The one thing you need most, communication is gone. That's why you need rapid radios, and especially the new rad one. It cuts through the chaos with long-range, crystal-clear communication. So during a blackout evacuations or any severe weather, rapid radios keeps you connected to family, neighbors, and help when it matters most. Be prepared today. Visit rapid radios.com.

Emergencies don't wait, so be ready. Only at rapid radios.com. All right, so think of this. As I just mentioned, the piece, China, that most are missing when it comes to Iran and Russia too, really. People are saying, we don't need any more new wars. This isn't a new war. It's one that's been waged for the last 50 years.

And yes, I think we're already in World War III. I think part of what we're watching, it just doesn't look the same as it used to. Part of what we're watching is just that. It's played out through proxies. I mean, Iran even has its own proxies, right? And Iran is a proxy of China and Russia, of course, that axis. So what we're watching play out, the shift is massive.

So you got China, the largest oil importer, 90% coming from Iran. and it's been effectively shut off. That straight-o-horn moves that we're hearing a lot about, the narrow choke point carries one-fifth of all the planet's oil. Taker traffic is down there, President Trump, making sure that they are going to see traffic moving. That's why you've seen some oil prices jump and prices at the pump. A lot of it's, you know, some of it's a reality,

but a lot of it's based in, you know, people freaking out. Some of that is going to happen. And then some people trying to make a little money, too. opportunistic. You got ships stranded, you've got insurance rates exploding, and every barrel China counting on, from what I've heard, and I, again, encourage you everything I talk about, everything Glenn talks about, but do your due diligence, check in it. We try to do our best, but everything I've heard, they've got about 100 days worth of oil

right now. They have been stockpiling because they sense some of this is coming, and I think they've got 100 days to get by. You know, we've got big meetings coming up with China as well. Beijing is scrambling right now. Those refineries getting desperate. They'll have to bet against the world for replacement crude from Russia or Saudi Arabia at full market price. And that's not a minor inconvenience.

It's a big deal. It's an economic gut punch. And by the way, to the very folks there in China who've been building that anti-American axis. Don't forget bricks. Don't forget all the things they've been doing behind us. It's largely been allowed to do because the Biden administration better sleep at the wheel. Jill or someone else. Maybe it was Hunter, you know, out of his mind running the auto pen.

Lord only knows. By the way, President Trump didn't just start this week. He started with Venezuela and, of course, before that, the Panama Canal. Did you saw what happened with Maduro? And yes, it's great to see that dictator taken out. And those are all, I think, moral reasons for doing what we did. You know, the fentanyl and all the drugs and everything coming here. You know, all that's great.

And if you factor that in, you know, hundreds of thousands of people at a time because of it, you know, those are reasons by themselves to do this. But now we know American oil companies, the best in the world already moving in billions to rebuild those fields there in Venezuela. It's heavy crude. It's a little different. But it's beginning to flow again. And this time at fair market prices, not the fire sale discounts, but Darrow was giving to China. The same goes with Iran.

So what is this boiled down to? Another reason, just another reason to consider. China just lost another cheap oil lifeline. Two major suppliers, Iran, Venezuela, both cut off from that discount pipeline. Something that was keeping Beijing's economy artificially propped up. And like I said, that next piece was the Panama Canal. For years, China had its hooks in through Hong Kong linked companies running the ports at both ends of the canal. And Trump called it what it was from day one.

We didn't give the canal to China. We gave it the Panama and we're taking it back. All of these things, when you start to look at the bigger picture, the strategy at the high level, it starts to unfold. Control the oil choke points. Secure the shipping lanes. Starve the adversary of cheap energy and you can restore American energy supremacy. and that is America First. While China burns through all that expensive emergency on and watches that belt and road dream crack,

along with bricks, the rest of it, our producers are ready. Our allies will be breathing a little easier at night and resting. The days of rogue regimes and their communist paymasters running the global energy game are coming to a rapid, decisive end. And don't forget how much. were you paying under Biden? It was all of this uncertainty that was making it so, along with pushing us to the green pipe dream.

So when you're watching this, it's not like the mainstream media proposes. Trump didn't just stumble into this. He planned it. Again, he's playing chess. He's been warning about it. He's been talking about it from the very beginning.

And now we're seeing it play out, executed with precision, our enemies. Really. Friends standing taller, the one still standing with us, and many of them are beyond the scenes. Absolutely head over heels of what they see happening. But this is what it looks like, folks. This is winning, winning in the 21st century. Energy's power, you've known that, I know that.

America's back. China's on notice. And the American people are about to reap the benefits for decades to come. This is America first. And in fact, it's probably... one of the best examples of it, your kids and mine will be talking about for years to come. Barkley and for Beck today. We're back after this on the Glenn Beck program. You know, one of the most rewarding parts of sharing relief factor with you is hearing real

stories like Sandra. She wrote into me, she said, Glenn, I've been hearing about relief factor on your radio show for a couple of years. I finally decided to try it because nothing else with helping with my back pain. With the three-week quick start, I went for it. I feel like a new person, Sandra's own words. and it's gratifying to hear. Thank you, Sandra. When I read stories like this, I remember how I was starting to lose hope, and it feels good to help people all over America

live pain-free again. It was created by doctors. Relief Factor is a 100% drug-free product using four key ingredients that supports the body's natural inflammatory response, and hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and like Sandra and me, over two-thirds of these people, go on to order more month after month. So try it yourself.

The three-week quick start, see how Relief Factor could be a game changer for you as well. Call the number 800 for relief. 1-800-the-number-4 relief. Or go to Relieffactor.com. Don't wait any longer. Get out of pain today. Barkley, and for back today on the Glimbeck program.

By the way, speaking of which, I just stumbled across, if somebody sent this to me, it's fantastic. Peter Schweizer, making the point about China that I've just been making this hour. It now means we have a chokehold on the straight. Look, assume that China wanted to move on Taiwan, right? There's a military response, but now we have a massive energy response, which is we simply don't allow any tankers to ship oil from the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz.

We can do it. It might have been a little bit dicey had we not taken out the Iranians. That's roughly half of their oil, 40 to 50 percent of their oil, is now suddenly not available to them. So those are enormous methodologies. look at what happens in terms of military technology, Jesse. China provided their most advanced air defense capabilities to Iran. We completely destroyed them. They didn't shoot down one American or Israeli plane. This is reminiscent of 1982 when the Israelis flying F-15s went up against the

Syrians flying Migs and the Israelis beat them 81 aircraft to zero. What happened after that? They couldn't of the migs away so china now has the problem that their military technology is not recognized as being up to part of the united states that's going to have huge implications with a whole hodge of other countries the peters schweiser there with that jesse on the foxes so i want to talk about fact uh... two dixon joins us now host the turdickson podcast use it kenneth for governor here in uh... michigan as well and uh... friend i i gotta say

tutor uh... i know you've talked to uh... uh... peter But this is the point I was making. When we look at what's happening in Iran, there's a lot more happening behind the scenes that I think folks are actually getting a glimpse of when I watch the nightly news. Welcome in, by the way, to the Glymbach program. Thank you so much for having me. Yeah, absolutely.

I agree. And I think this is where you see a lot of people right now saying, well, wait a minute, what was this really a threat? Should we have really done this? And to Peter's point about China, I think you need to also understand the connection between Iran and China and North Korea and Russia. And you have to understand that even hitting their nuclear facilities, that wasn't going to stop North Korea from sending them missiles.

That wasn't going to stop China. They have the uranium mines. They have the centrifuges. They were going to rebuild. They were clearly in those conversations with the administration saying, we're not going to back down. We're not going to stop heading toward a nuclear weapon. So for anyone who is questioning President Trump's choices in this situation, I would say to you, what did you need?

What kind of evidence did you need? Did you need a nuclear attack? Did a bomb need to detonate for you to say, okay, now we're ready? Because I would prefer to have the person in power who's telling me they're going to stop it before it happens, then wait until they get to the point where they have destroyed entire countries. Yeah, there's so many pieces of this. And I know you're sort of navigating it too because you're in that podcast world. And watching the stuff on social media, I just want people to have the full understanding of what's really going on behind the scenes here. And why this is another such a critical move, President Trump, you're in contact with some of those folks in the administration.

I mean, what's that happening like behind the scenes? They get this information that most people don't. We don't know. and they try to do their best to let us know what they can. Let me argue back. We do know. We are listening to some of these people who are pontificating, not doing the research, not doing the facts.

They want the clicks. They love the clicks. They love the drama. They love the division. And I'm sorry, but you're not for the country if you're for yourself and your podcast. Let me tell you we have the information. And I will tell you it's not been a secret that we have the information. If you look back, even Obama said, my gosh, they're so close.

Once they get to that 90% uranium enrichment, we have weapons-grade uranium there. And they have enough. In 2023, they had enough uranium already. And it was reported by international agencies. The International Atomic Energy Agency was reporting they have enough uranium in 2023 for three nuclear bombs. 2025, that same agency came out and said, now they have enough uranium for nine atomic bomb or nine nuclear bombs.

And it's not just that they have that. They also have the centrifuges in place. They are working to make sure they enrich that to 90%. They had found particles that were at 83.7%, very close to 90%. 90% is weapons grade. We know that it wasn't 47 years in the making. This is the last five years we're talking about. This is the last five years we're talking about that they're getting to the point

where they actually have a nuclear bomb. And people will say, oh, what about the 12-day war? Yes, we took a massive amount of their ability to create a nuclear bomb away in the 12-day war. But that doesn't stop them. They had other centrifuges. They could get started back up. Like I said, they have the connections with North Korea and China. And we haven't heard North Korea or China or Russia say they're going to back away from Iran.

Quite the opposite. We know that they're going to be on board with them. They're going to continue to supply them with the missiles that they need. And you had some of the top negotiations. in the world in the in the in the Trump administration sit down with them and say are you going to stop this but they won't and they and they have a form that what their religion is is radical Islam and it they are under the belief that if they even wipe out the whole world that that will ultimately cleanse the world and then the world will be a better place and they can bring enough evil that there will be a cleansing this is a this is a twisted sick way of thinking. You can't even imagine as an American. This is not like negotiating with Americans. This is negotiating with sociopaths and they are not willing to stop. They have it at their fingertips and regardless of how many times we take out their facilities, they have more ability

underground to rebuild and go back after that bomb and they have the knowledge now. They know where to mine. They know where to get the missiles. They connect the uranium and the missile with the warhead and that's it. It lights out, you know, and who's first. I mean, they can reach Israel, but they can also reach Eastern Europe. For anybody who's saying, this is about Israel, you know, bite your tongue. You have no idea what you're talking about. If you're that naive, you haven't done any research on what Iran can actually do because they can actually reach Eastern European countries. And they will. There's no barrier. There's no reason for them to stop. There's no conscience like we have in the United States.

and life means nothing to them. This is a regime that just a week or two weeks ago took out 40,000 of their own people, mowed them down with machine guns. They have no care for life whatsoever. And anybody who is saying we weren't there yet, like I said, I'll go back to, what does it take to get there? What does it take to get the Democrats on board with protecting us? Does it take a nuclear bomb going off?

Because that's insane. about the same people were making decisions back in World War II. We'd all be speaking German right now. This is clear. And I don't think it's a bit more clear. We've got a leader who is uniquely designed for this moment in time for such a time as this. Here's the polling, Maggie Unity, despite what you're watching or saying, maybe on social media from some of those vocal minorities, it shows Republicans opposed to Trump's Iran strikes are loud but small minority. and then even CNN says it.

Listen to this. Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president's own party supporters love them at this particular point in his administration. Even CNN says so. Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president's own party supporters

loved them at this particular point. Just take a look here. Okay, own party supporters, 21st century presidents, own party approval about at this point in the second term. Bush was at 77. percent. Obama was at 77. Look at this. 86%

of Republicans approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing at this point. Now, why do I bring this up? Because we're hearing lots of other things from the other side, and when I said even within the party. So this whole conflict

and some of the doom and glooms guys falling black pill stuff may cost us some midterm elections. And this is why I bring it up, because it is is so important. We are, united, many of us, but the damage some of these folks are doing, um, why could have tremendous consequences? You know, I think this is a good moment for people to believe that there is a chance of that happening because we're early on it. And politics is like,

things happen overnight and they're also stretched out for years, right? So right now in the world of elections, I mean, when you think about the general election, there's a lot that can happen between now and then. And what I think you are going to see happen is right now the Democrats are trying to use this to divide us. And you do have some of these rogue people that claim to be a part of the GOP or the Republican Party in the past who clearly haven't been and aren't and are just rabble rousers and they're not actually bringing any good facts to the table. And potentially they're getting paid by certain countries to do this. So I don't think that, I think people have caught on to that as well, and they're not taking that as seriously. But then look at what you have in the Democrat

Party. They're about to elevate a guy who believes there are six genders in Texas that tells us that your neighbors might have a uterus, and then therefore they're being discriminated against. I mean, this is a guy who says he can't define a woman. This is a man who says that the story of Jesus' birth and the immaculate conception is a story of abortion and why. God supports abortion. I mean, James Tolariko is a total lunatic, and I'm so glad that they elected him. I mean, you know,

I think Jasmine would have been just as great. I would have taken Jasmine Crockett, too, but this guy is such a radical extremist that if the Democrat Party embraces him, and they say, yes, we're about his trans agenda, and we're about his radical gender

and everything else that he stands for, and his blasphemous, approach to the Bible, if they stand behind the absolutely demonic things that James Tolariko puts out on a regular basis, and that we have him on film and on tape saying there's no backing out of the crazy things that he said, if the Democrat Party is going to stand behind him and the AOCs of the world that go on the world stage and cannot even talk about foreign policy and fall flat on her face, and does it, can't even say who brought

horses to North America, a woman who shares the same name as the Spanish conquistador who brought them to Mexico, and she doesn't know this. I mean, if this is what they're going to do, then, yeah, I'm telling you, we've got this in the bag. We're good.

There's something that happened. We must talk about here coming up in the program yesterday. Congress voted on it. You're probably not going to hear. They have no leg to stand on talking about the Epstein files from now on. We'll get into that too coming up. Justin Barkley and for Glenn today on the Glendbeck program. Dividers can call us names.

Brett to the world. It's a democracy. Stully gritty pig. We just call each other neighbor and friend. We'll be right back. Are you a fraud-paying American? It's a fact that one in four, honest, hardworking, taxpaying Americans has been a victim of identity theft.

I just going through some of the things that are out there thinking, got to make sure we get to this, got to make sure we get to that. Here's one of the, I don't know if you saw, this was insane. They had a hearing yesterday in the Senate, and the senator there actually has to jump in, and one of the protesters, the guy just lost his mind is a Marine. I don't know for how long, because this is way above and beyond anything you expect to see.

Getting an altercation fighting with U.S. Capitol Police, and this is the back and forth. They're trying to get him out. Eventually, his hand gets stuck inside the door. They say he got broken. I don't know if it got broken or not, but this is part of this. They're saying, he broke his hand.

I don't know if that's what actually happened. But I saw this, and I thought to myself, holy cow, what an incredible back and forth. And then it also made me think, you know, we are in the find out era. Iran is finding out, Swelah was finding out, and folks are finding out. You don't mess with U.S. Senator Navy SEAL, Tim Shehee. If you're going to interrupt the hearing, I'd probably pick one.

Senator Tim Sheehee is not in. I would just say that's probably the best route to go. Now, here's some information on the guide in case you're wondering that, you know, I lost his mind at the Marine there. Unfortunately, sounds like he lost it a while back. Here he is, a sympathizer, Hamas, and whatnot. Congratulations to Hamas and the Gazans for repelling their oppressor, the Israelis, and causing... People's brains are breaking, folks. Protect your brain. Truth, logic, and common sense with daily doses.

Another one's coming up next. Justin Barkley and for Glenn today as we continue. Back next on the Glenn Beck program. It's something else here now. Something new. From exclusively on Paramount Plus, it's the series Stephen. King calls scary as hell. Everything here is impossible, but it's also real. Sci-Fi Vision calls it the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules.

Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home. From Binge All Episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. We've heard about the files. Lots and lots about the files. And yes, they are important. The whole issue is important, but I don't want to hear it. Not another single word from some of these members of Congress,

the vote they took yesterday. Oh, you haven't heard about this yet? Just wait. We'll get to it. It's important news. You may not hear anywhere else. That's coming out. Plus, what's it like in places like the free state of Florida?

I just returned it. I want to shine a light. What I think is a roadmap for the rest of the country. Some things that we're seeing play out that you need to know about. Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program. We'll talk about that with you after this. Back next. Paying for your credit card every month.

I want you to look at the interest rate. I don't want you to get used to that. What is it? 20, 25%. That's not normal and that's not good. You're never going to get out of it. High interest debt has a way of quietly draining your future and you're making payments.

You're being responsible, but it's not doing anything but paying the interest. This is where American financing can help you. Their salary, their employee-owned company, so the mortgage consultants focus on what makes sense for you, not on commissions, and they can look at your current mortgage and see whether consolidating high interest debt into a lower rate could lower your monthly payments and save you money over time. You don't have to accept financial pressure as a permanent condition. Don't.

AAA 727 Beck, 887B-E-C-K. We'll try and grab a phone call or two. You can email me too. I love to hear from you, Justin at Justin Barkley, B-A-R-C-L-A-Y, Justin at Justin Barkley.com. I'm at Mr. Justin Barkley all over social media and love those conversations. I'm feeling it for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program and I got to tell you every time I'm here it is an honor and a pleasure of privilege to be here with you and love talking with Glenn's audience the best of the best just say that but I was in the free state of Florida last week in fact I was just coming back about a week ago and spent about a week down there with some good friends and I got to see some family and have a good time now this is a big by the way

it's a big shock when you go from a place like the People's Republic of Michigan. To a for a, and this time of year, it's not just about weather. Where you're leaving, well, it's snowing. I think we did come back to snow and cold. This time of year, you just never know what you're going to get into. Where I'm at in West Michigan, broadcasting out of the studios of news radio with 1,300 and 1069 FM.

And landing in the free state of Florida, we are at Fort Myers, Naples, that is that area and had a blast. But there were some things that I noticed. And it wasn't just the weather, although it was gorgeous this time of year, particularly. They know it they're in season. People are making their way down in record numbers right now. But for the obvious reasons, the weather, the fun of the sun, the vacation, take your kids. It was our first trip for our girls.

First time on an airplane and had a quick nonstop flight, which was fantastic for their first. A lot of first. They got to see some gators, got to eat some gator bites. I don't know if the locals get into the gator bites or not. We certainly did. And we had a blast. But one of the things I kept noticing, and very similarly like Texas, there's always, you know, in Texas, like the construction never stops. And that might be frustrating for some of you who live in Texas.

But it is a sign of massive growth and just incredible. It's just it's wild to watch the differences because in in Michigan it's not like that We've lost population growth over the years Largely do I believe to the policies of the Democrat governor's been in charge almost the last eight years So that's why as I get a chance to go down to Florida and see what's happening down there It's obviously more friendly the people over it's walking around with my sweatshirt on that said one nation under God and I got several compliments. Took me a second

because I can wear that around here and I get every now and then I get a hey I like your shirt but I got so we got one guy said amen and I think what is he amen to me oh the shirt

so it was fantastic to just to see that be in that environment in the free state of Florida I don't have to tell you that if you live there but folks I think throughout the rest of the country

just don't have an understanding idea of how good it is the expansion of the business et cetera and we just had a story the other day showed more businesses living here our state

where I'm at and all over the country, in fact, heading into Florida. I felt it would be a good idea to talk to the mayor of one of those great cities in the free state of Florida, Boko-Ratone. Scott Singer with us on now. Mayor, thank you and welcome in to the Glenn Beck program. Justin, thanks so much for having me. We have great things happening in Bocerton. And you're seeing this with our latest corporate relocation from Michigan.

We're drawing from lots of states because of our low taxes, low crime, great quality of life, and the lowest property tax rate of any full service city in Florida in Boca Raton. And you know what's wild? Is it, Mayor, while I was there? You know, first of all, we know you don't have the income tax, and that's huge, right? And while I was there, I believe it was a Senate that voted to get rid of property taxes. And I thought to myself, holy smokes, if it's not already on fire already. And in a good way, people are going to be moving in droves when this gets done.

They are. And in Boca Raton, we've done our best to maintain the quality of life for a city of 100,000 people, but attract a ton of businesses. And it isn't just the latest coming from Michigan Concord Investment Services, which is adding to our robust financial services stock. But we had D-Wave computing, a quantum computing company, moved from Palo Alto. We've been attracting companies from New York since the June primary when we had a targeted campaign focused on Mamdani. And I'm just one of many mayors across the nation who are trying to govern with local. tax, pro-business, common sense policies. That's why I'm happy to run, or excuse me, chair, the America First Policy Institute mayors council, where we have about 50 mayors advancing this America First agenda in our cities. And I think we need this at the national level. That's why I'm also running for U.S. Congress right now. That's fantastic. I, well, listen, you know,

and you've seen it up close and personal what the differences are. First, I mean, obviously, the sunshine, right? You've got the lifestyle. And that's, you know, and that's, you know, That's one of the things that people love so much. But another thing there that I saw, and one of my friends down there got an eighth grader, and they just started homeschooling her, and they said, you know, the money moves with the student here. I think, and correct me if I were wrong,

I think they told me that they get $10,000 a year per student. And even as she's homeschooled, that money could go towards tutors, it could go towards piano lessons, it could go towards educating that child. And why shouldn't it? I mean, it's your money. Shouldn't it go and follow the student?

I thought that was another fantastic point. It is. Florida has been a leader on school choice. Those accounts that put $10,000 in the home of every parent for every student, for private, parochial, religious, homeschooling, has been a game changer. And I think President Trump's, one of the great things President Trump was able to accomplish in the House leadership and Senate leadership in one big beautiful bill are the tax credits that are going to go to everyday residents across the America, for the states that opt in where you're getting an actual tax credit so you can deploy that for

educational institutions in your state. It's going to turbocharge school choice and take out some of the indoctrination we've seen on the left. And I think it's just giving a great opportunity for parents to educate their children, their children, the way they see fit and really enhancing parental rights. Imagine that. I mean, to me and you, it sounds like common sense, but we've been so far removed from it. It's just I think when you hear it, it's so refreshing. And that's one of the things about spending the time that I did during that week on vacation. And I, you know, I just see it.

I see the success in Florida. And then obviously you're running for Congress. So you'll be trying to export some of that truth, logic, and common sense to Congress. And good luck, my friend. But, you know, the rest of the country could really learn some lessons from what you've done there as mayor and what the governor has done. in the state of free state of Florida, and all the rest of the folks that have been together to make sure that you've got some of these common sense policies in place

that do so much to attract people to Florida and businesses, too. Well, yes, and voters across America are going to have a choice in November. Do they want to continue on the path of success we've had the last year under President Trump with a secure border, stronger national defense, the biggest tax cut in history, unleashing American energy production, unleashing our economy of cutting regulations, or do they want to go to the failed model of cities like New York,

where even with a budget for a city of New York that's larger than in our entire state budget, and we have 23 million people to their eight and a half, they're still proposing a 9.5% property tax increase. What happened to the free buses and free supermarkets that were going to be there? They can't even provide the basic services with such a loaded budget that they needed to call for volunteers to shovel snow, or, I mean, paid workers, but you don't have everyday residents coming into shovel snow, and you don't raise taxes 9.5%.

People are going to continue to choose, and businesses are going to choose the contrast between high tax, higher crime, higher regulation cities and failing states or successful cities in states like Florida and others across America. Scott Singer is the mayor of Boko-Rotone running for Congress there in Florida's 23rd,

Congressional District, American-First Republican candidate. When you're talking with your colleagues that are mayors across the country, and obviously, So they have a different vantage point of viewpoint, but what are the things that stand out most that you hear? It's wild to me because where I'm at, while I was on vacation back home in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we have the mayor making headlines here for saying you ought to be ashamed if you own a gun. And I'm thinking to myself, you know, Florida doesn't have that problem.

But to me, I think it's wild to watch how different and stark the contrast is between this leadership styles. Well, when I hear statements like that, it's another reminder that this is no longer our parents' Democratic Party. And the ideas that were mainstream among Democrats 15, 20 years ago, whether it was Schumer, Hillary Clinton, or Barack Obama all talking about a secure border and how to deal with illegal immigration. And now that that's anathema on the Democratic Party shows just how far to the left they've gone. And I think mainstream voters of all stripes, Democratic, independent, and Republican are understanding this. It's a big reason why President Trump had such a resounding victory. It's a reason why I'm optimistic in November that people are going to continue to see

the strength of the economy, especially as GDPs at record highs, and why people are going to be coming out and to vote. I wouldn't be running for Congress unless I thought we could win and govern in a majority. And again, when the left keeps making just ridiculous statements like the one you just quoted, it gives people more reason to vote more conservatively. Absolutely. Well, listen, I wish you the best, obviously, running for Congress. Congress. You know, this is a world in which we need more. In fact, we're going to talk a little bit later on some of the things that are happening in Congress. We need more good folks there.

And every single day, that becomes more apparent. Folks want to find you online, Scott, particularly in your area there in the free state of Florida or maybe across the country. What's the best way they can do that? Absolutely. They can go to my website, Scottsinger, USA.com, on all social media platforms, I'm also Scotson or USA. And there I also talk about, you mentioned education. We talked about indoctrination. I have a proposal there that we'll delve into more that people might like. If you receive foreign money as a educational institution, no federal dollars for you. University is often starting a choice between who's funding them. The American taxpayers are foreign entities. And I think that could be a game changer too at all levels of education.

Mayor Scott Singer, Mayor Boko-Ratone, thank you so much for being here with us today. I appreciate you taking the time. God bless. God bless you, and thank you. So we move forward with, speaking of Congress, like I said, I don't want to hear it anymore, particularly from some of these folks, Democrats, especially. When it comes to the files, a vote that took place yesterday that they have officially no leg to stand on. We're going to get into that conversation coming up here in just a little bit, and I want to make sure you hear it. Again, I think it's one that sort of took place under the cover of darkness.

And I really, I highly doubt, I really, I highly doubt that you're going to hear it on the nightly news. Also, boots on the ground on our end, well, we'll explain whose boots they are coming up after this. Justin Barclay back in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program right after this. 80,000. That's the number of babies that were. rescued last year because of you. Over 80,000 babies saved thanks to faithful supporters of preborn. Every day, thousands of women hear the same devastating lie that abortion is your only option. You're all alone. There is no hope. You're not going to make it. All of those lies, all of that

doubt. But everything changes the moment a mom in crisis walks into a preborn clinic and sees her baby on an ultrasound. That's one divine moment. And it doubles her chances of choosing life because it's not just an image on a screen. It's a baby made in the image of God, a sacred life, meant to be protected. And when she hears the baby's heartbeat, maybe for the very first time, something wholly happens. One of our preborn donors shared this powerful truth. My mother chose life, and that's why I'm here. And that's why I donate to Preborn to Preborn to help other mothers choose life. For $28, you can do that. Let's make this the biggest baby saving year in history. Call pound 250, say the keyword baby, pound 250, keyword baby, or visit preborn.com.com slash Beck,

board. All right, so I want to talk about this is interesting because I noticed yesterday some of this came out. I know if you've got a chance to talk about it or not, but we keep hearing some of this boots on the ground talk. Well, apparently Trump has done it in a way. And actually, I'll be honest with you. I think when I watch Iran and some of what they've been doing, this is kind of the last

gas to this dying regime here, they're involving all these other Middle Eastern, you of their neighbors by lobing off rockets and missiles and whatnot. And this is, this is inevitably drawing more people into the conflict. So the question is boots on the ground. They're going to be boots on the ground. And turns out, yes, the headline was, there are boots on the ground. But whose boots are they? At this point, not American troops. It's big. A U.S. official telling Fox, thousands of Iraqi Kurds have launched a ground defensive in Iran. Decimated, destroyed, defeated.

All words the Pentagon used to describe Iran's various military forces on day five of Operation Epic Fury. Moments ago, President Trump touting in its big, a U.S. Now, this is, again, you watch this, right? And I'm with you. I understand it. You know, skeptical. Some of, some of us might even be cynical.

You know, I understand some of the reason to be, right? You watch this, you know, I just don't want this to get a hand, but everything we're watching, everything we're seeing play out. Seems to me, at least,

that the strategy here is unlike anything else we've ever seen before. And by the way, I got a message. Email me, Justin at Justin Barkley.com, if you want to reach out. I'd love to hear from you. AAA 727BECK. But this question was about, oh, yeah, India agreeing to stop buying Russian oil. Maybe leading into this, India gets iron beam from Israel.

India agrees to stop buying Russian oil. No more money to wage war. This person says, you know, I suspect a point. Partial deal struck via between Israel and India and U.S. may be related to the Iran action too. Oh, I don't doubt about it. I think there's so many pieces. Look, there is all to the surface and the things that we're hearing and some of that we just heard earlier this hour. And I'm at last year, but I believe, you know, lots of those, the nuclear peace and the defense of the country, et cetera. I mean the people of chanted death to America for the last 50 years, obviously what they were doing to the

their own. I mean, that's a whole other piece. All of those, I do believe, are all good reasons and part of the reasons why we may take action there. But when you start to look at some of the other pieces that may, in fact, play into this, I think it's clear there's much more than it meets the eye going on in some of these cases. And it's important to note that what we're watching is historic. And so there are folks out there that are criticizing. There are some folks out there that are leading that

that charge. I just don't think that's the right way to go about it. I think at some point you have to trust the president you elected and many of these folks did, in fact, vote for him to get that job done. I'm not saying you can't you can't disagree.

I don't, of course that would be ridiculous. But it's how you go about it, that matters most. Speaking of history, saw this yesterday. Secretary of War, which has a nice ring to it. I like the Department of War. He said they did something

for the first time that since they were actually called the Department of War. They did something the first time. It's kind of a while to see this. They sunk a ship with a torpedo from a submarine. In fact, last night,

we sunk their prize ship. The Soleimani. looks like Potus got him twice. Their Navy, not a factor. Pick your adjective. Wait a second, Pete. I had coffee in my mouth there. There's no more.

In fact, yesterday in the Indian Ocean, and we'll play it on the screen there, an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo, quiet death. Wow. the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II. Like in that war, back when we were still the war department, we are fighting to win. There you got it. That's the history being made. Speaking of which, they were all on record yesterday.

Congress in that vote, I think, well, they ought not be able to tell us what to think about any of these files in the future. The way they voted yesterday, we'll talk about that. and the consequences of it. Justin Barkley, in for Glenn today. Justin at Justin at Justin Barkley.com at Mr. Justin Barkley on all the social media. Back after this on the Glenn Beck program. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. This year is a turning point. I mean, do you feel it?

Those who hate America are not quiet. They're aggressive. They're confident and they're open about what they feel about America. And, you know, we care more about the murderers on the streets than the moms. The fight just doesn't happen just in Washington. and it shows up every day in decisions that you make, including who you choose to do business with. Patriot Mobile has been on this front line of fighting for all of the amendments

and our Constitution and the things that we hold dear. They are America's only Christian conservative wireless company. They don't just provide wireless service. They actually support all of the causes that you care about. Patriot Mobile is even co-sponsoring the American Journey Experience, C to Shining Sea, with Moms for Liberty on Ellis Island. and I'll be there speaking because, you know, I believe in showing up on ideas that are, you know, built the country.

I want you to switch to patriotmobile.com, Patriotmobile.com slash Beck, get a free month of service. 972 Patriot, 972 Patriot, Patriot, PatriotMobile.com slash Beck. Well, I don't want to hear it anymore. I don't know about you. I just don't want to hear it. I'm not saying it's not important. It is.

There needs to be accountability. We need full transparency. We need justice for these folks involved in, And these are horrific things that we're reading. Obviously, the Epstein files. It doesn't matter, folks. I'm just telling you right now, after what we saw, and this was obvious from the very beginning. After what we saw yesterday in Congress.

What was it? 300? Let me get the actual, the actual status of the actual number here. 357 members of Congress voted not to release congressional sexual harassment and misconduct records again I understand some of this

you know that the records could just be allegations that weren't and didn't go anywhere some of it could be weaponized I understand there's got to be got to be a little bit of prudence to it but all these Democrats and folks have been wagging their finger all of us letting

interested in this case in these files, you know, because it's politically expedient now, all that they can point it. By the way, this is what Trump has met the entire time. I don't think he's done a great job of being able to communicate this, but when he called it a hoax, it's a hoax. Why? He meant it was going to be used as a hoax. Not that the thing, he was right in the middle of it.

He was one of the guys to rat out Jeffrey Epstein and all the things that were happening. In fact, I think they only wanted to do it. Working with law enforcement, as we've done. learned in the files. Now, they'll get me started on Bill and Hillary last week in the deposition. But the videos that have come out are really wild to see. There's one

picture floating around, and it's from the video where Bill is looking down at this, and I think it was him, the one where he's in the hot tub. There's lots of discussion about Bill on the hot tub. He's looking down, and he's got this look on his face with a smile. He's gritting like a Cheshire

cat from ear to ear, and you go, there's Bill, reliving submits. It was so bad. It was such an awkward moment that his lawyer, the attorney, she had to reach over and grab that thing from him and they go, give me that back. Bill, give me it. And he snatched it back out of her

hands. One of the things he mentioned those, he didn't think that Trump was involved at all. He never had any indication, et cetera, et cetera. Do with that what you will, but what I will say is that it's never been more obvious, I think, today, the way Congress voted yesterday,

that these Democrats, they never really cared. They never really cared about getting down to the bottom. They didn't care about victims. They don't care about any of these things. It's all politics. And particularly folks on the right. So, or excuse me, on the left. And what I want to do is walk through the vote.

What exactly happened and talk a little bit about that. And a good friend, Kyle Olson, from founder of the Midwestern to the Midwesterner. dot news is with us right now. Kyle, thank you. Welcome on to the Glenback program. Thanks for having me. So you know, I mean, you watch this vote. I'm trying to make heads or tails of sense of it. What am I missing? Well, I think that's what a lot of people are asking is what are missing. Why would these 350 some members of Congress not stand up for people who survived pervert members of Congress and release this information? because what has been happening and this really I think this really sort of came to light during the me two the whole me two thing which was in what was that 17 or 18 and and and people were saying you know there there is this fund that members of Congress can use to pay off and basically pay settlements for people who are accusing them of you know terrible things

assaults and harassment and all kinds of things. And what sort of justice is that, first of all? Secondly, why are our tax dollars being used for that? And thirdly, why aren't taxpayers and voters allowed to know what these members of Congress are doing? And my calculations were that over a period of about 20 years, nearly $20 million was spent this way. after me too they sort of you know tried to make it go away but clearly there is still an issue

well and you know when there is no accountability there will continue to be an issue that's that's the problem here when these people think they can get away it doesn't matter what it is election fraud or fraud in in Minneapolis in fact uh i got some clips coming up here in a little bit I'm trying to get out there of Tim Walls testifying on this yesterday. But when you allow these things to happen, you're going to just get more of it. Right. And so the vote yesterday, Nancy Mace and Tim Burchett sort of took the lead. And they wanted, they wanted a floor vote to force all of these files, which again, they typically, there's non-disclosure agreements involved.

There's, you know, a lot of secrecy to keep it away. from taxpayers. They wanted all of these files from the last 30 years to be made public. And so there was a vote, but what happened was there was a, it was sort of fashioned as a procedural vote where actually what they were going to do. And when I say they, I mean, the majority that voted to do this, they voted to send it to the ethics committee. And so then the ethics committee would decide. Well, all of this is is bad actors protecting bad actors. And so the public taxpayers, voters, don't actually get to know what's going on. And so Nancy Mace and Tim Burchett and the others who voted to not send it to the committee,

but they wanted it to, you know, they wanted these records out there. They were very upset about it. As you can imagine they would be. Now, listen, like I said, there's a lot of politics back and forth. There's a lot of this, particularly when it comes to the folks on the left. But listen, we know what happens both ways. But on the left, they're raking Trump under the coals when it comes to this whole Epstein situation. This run not really not much there to go on when it comes to the dumps, the things that we've learned and seen.

And by the way, we knew this. We knew this the whole time. Otherwise, they would have used it years ago. I mean, that's obvious logic. But yet they have had no problem really building. this whole political strategy around and on the backs of these people

who were victims. Absolutely. And when it comes to these the allegations in Congress, this, it knows no party. There's Democrats and Republicans who are scumbags and who treat people like this. And so, you know, the people, and so I think Representative Mace and Burchett

and the others were saying these the taxpayers and citizens of America deserve to know who is doing what in Congress and and then hold those people accountable. And there was a moment to do that yesterday. And unfortunately, the vast majority, Republicans and Democrats voted against doing that. And again, as you mentioned in this case, 17 million. And by the way, that's your money. money. That's my money that's being used, obviously, to pay these folks off to make everybody quiet and go away. And it is, it is, it's not a drop in the bucket. And at the same time, it is, it's horrific to think of. And you wonder why people vote the way they do on certain things.

Well, it's clear. Right. And corporations don't get to operate like this. They have to answer to shareholders. Well, in this case, the taxpayers are the shareholders. And so the Congress for decades has been able to cover this up, you know, abuse people, and then pay for it to go away and use our tax dollars to do it. Kyle Olson, who's a founder at the Midwestern or the Midwesterner.com. You've done extensive coverage on the national story that was Goshen, the Chinese Communist Party-linked battery plant in Michigan, where the They were trying to put in this, and of course, it was another one of these snow jobs. And now you're seeing this kind of transition into, in fact, Goshen is doing the very same thing, trying to transition into this data center fight, which is happening.

People in Little Olme, Acosta County in Michigan stood up, fought back against the, not just the Chinese Communist Party, but also the state of Michigan. Lots of folks wanted to push this project through so they could, you know, take their pictures and get their campaign. photo-offs and cut ribbons and things like that. But those folks stood up and they fought back in an historic way. Right now we're watching a very similar issue happen with data centers. And I just, you know, we don't have a lot of time here, but I just thought maybe I'd open that up for you as what you're saying. In fact, play out. There have been moratoriums. People started back and they're sort of saying to themselves, hang on, we got to wait, these township level folks are saying, we've got to do a little more digging on this, which I think is a really good sign.

I know President Trump says we need data centers. We need to win the fight AI against China. We obviously need to take a closer look at these things. But the way that it's happening, as fast as it's happening, I believe there's got to be make sure that we're doing the right thing here. And it's an interesting, it's an interesting tightrope to walk. Yeah. And to me, that's the fundamental issue is we've got to make sure we're doing it the right way.

And to me, candidly, because one of the problems is that, the vast majority of these are not being proposed in industrial areas. They're being proposed on farmland and hundreds of acres of farmland. And then, of course, once you've got a massive facility like that in farmland, you're not going to get rid of that. But to me, one of the biggest scandals. So if a township wants to have that, then I think that they should, you know, be able to go through that process.

Just like what happened with Goshen. The local residents were very clear. They didn't want that. and they didn't want that massive facility that had the potential to spy on the Air Force base. They didn't want that to disrupt their rural environment. They didn't want that. And the local township said, well, we're going to do it anyway. Well, then they threw those people out.

And the residents of a Green Charter Township ultimately won. And I think one of the bad lessons that the Gretchen Whitmer administration took away from that was, well we know best and so we're going to take local control away and so if there is a developer of a solar power plant or a wind farm or or a data center and they want to put that on that farmland they can come to lansing and and get the people she appointed to approve that and the local people have no say to me i mean that is that's just a crime and and And then, of course, there's questions about energy usage. Is it going to force energy rates to go up?

What is the water usage like? There's a lot of these questions. And the Whitmer administration has no plan for any of this. It's just a free-for-all. And what we're seeing is the instances where local residents are standing up, but a lot of times they don't have a lot to stand up on because the Whitmer administration took their local control away. Kyle Olson, the founder

at the Midwestern or the Midwesterner.com. Bray it up because this is not just a Michigan story. This is a story that will impact everyone across the country, folks, as this whole fight continues. And look, we got to make sure we have all the information so we can make the best decisions.

That's just how it works. Thank you, my friend. Always a pleasure. Happy to, thanks. You've got it. God bless. Back with more after this, we lost a legend yesterday, folks. We'll remember next on the Glenn Beck program. Too many people have forgotten that we're not enemies. We're Americans.

Glenn Beck returns in a moment. Israel is a very hot topic right now, and with so many opinions and emotions surrounding it, it can feel hard to know where to even start. The Bible tells us, I will bless those who bless you. That isn't just a comforting promise. It is a clear calling from God. And today, with anti-Semitism rising around the world and here on our country, that calling is more urgent than ever. It doesn't mean that you have to agree with the policies

of Israel or defend wars or anything else. But at a time when Jewish communities are experiencing more hostility, more threats, and more violence than ever, Christians have a powerful opportunity to respond with God's love and to say, you're not alone. When Christians choose to bless Israel, they are not entering a political issue, they're honoring the root of our faith and standing against hatred. Supporting Israel is more than just a belief. It's a biblical mandate. And by partnering with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, you can push back against the darkness and be a light to God's people.

Learn how you can bless the people of Israel and be blessed in return. Visit IFCJ.org today, IFCJ.org. Be the blessing. Live the word. Answer the call. IFCJ.org. Lost a legend. Yesterday. Lou Holtz.

Former football coach, but left a legacy much bigger than that. Obviously, Notre Dame and so many other schools. Just like any other newspaper. You have front page for people want to read the news. This is Lou doing what's called the newspaper trick. When he was speaking with, I believe, a football team down in Texas.

You have the comics for people can't read. And you have the editorial page for people can't say it. But you can't let people tear you up. You can't let people destroy you. You can't let people say, you aren't going to be great. was tearing up the newspaper. You can't do something. My personal bleats is there any obstacle

that's going to keep me from being successful. Difficult, you're doggone right. That's why so few people achieve success. Don't let people tear you up. Don't let people tear you down. Don't let people cause you to lose the faith and confidence you have in yourself. Because if you really have a strong faith

and a strong belief. I'm acting because the newspaper is now full. It's called the newspaper trick, and he did that numerous times when he spoke. Lou, one of the greatest. Here he is, President awarding him with the Medal of Freedom. We'll say this about Lou. Everybody loves him. Everybody respects him.

He's tough as hell, and yet they all respect Lou. It's amazing. They love him and they respect him. Sometimes it's a combination that doesn't come together. They respect, but you are something. I never coach football. I coached life, he said, and it's true. His players really always loved him.

Here's what his son had to say, Skip. My father passed away today, resting peacefully at home. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers of the last couple of months. He was successful, but more important, he was successful. he was significant. What a great reminder to go out, even though they don't make them like they used to, right, Lou? Walk in those footsteps.

Be significant today. Do something. We all can. God bless you, folks. Justin Barkley, and for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program, it's always a pleasure. Always an honor to be here with you. Justin at Justin Barkley.com. Got.
