The Glenn Beck Program - Was the DHS Looking for THIS at Ilhan Omar's House? | Guest: Pastor Rick Bick | 10/12/26
Episode Date: October 12, 2026Do some recent political polls show good news for America? Glenn shares recent polls he has seen that give him a little hope as the midterms get closer. Glenn explains why these polls show that Americ...ans still have standards and blames social media for making it seem that you have nothing in common with your neighbors. Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., was raided by Homeland Security, and many are speculating that it has to do with accusations that Omar married her brother. But Glenn explains why this type of raid, which was approved by a judge, may point to something bigger. Glenn and Jason also discuss the accusations that Texas Senate candidate James Talarico (D) recently disappeared to spend time in a mental health facility. Glenn flashes back to when he first exposed Ilhan Omar for allegedly marrying her brother, which was largely ignored. New Life Center Church Pastor Rick Bick joins to discuss what happened in the second after an Iowa city council heard a satanic prayer. Glenn breaks his silence on the case against seven men who attended Cornell University and are accused of gang rape in a new civil lawsuit. Glenn speaks about the benefits of moving to a small, tight-knit community where neighbors look out for each other. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

300,000 in metric tons of foreign ground beef are about to come into the United States without the normal tariff.
That's a huge amount of beef.
And here's the part that bothers me.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We've got a lot to talk about today.
I want to get right to it because I want to go to some election polls and some good news.
And the real, the thing that would change everything is the price of diesel and the price of gas.
And I've got four suggestions for the president that I would really like to see him do.
Will he do it?
I don't know.
But we'll see because that would actually change things.
And even if it wasn't an election, I would be saying the same thing, because we've got to get the American people some relief on what they're feeling every day.
But I have some really great news beyond politics on polls.
And we're going to start there here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
You got to love it when somebody decides to conduct their own little science experiment, especially when they're the guinea pig.
There's a man named William.
He's 65 years old.
he decided to find out whether relief factor was really making a difference in his life, so he did something about it.
He stopped taking it completely, and for a while, I imagine he was pretty pleased with himself until, you know, something happened that he wasn't particularly happy about.
His everyday aches and pain started coming back, and he realized relief factor had been helping him more than he knew.
This is exactly my story. Today, William says he can't be without it.
William, same experience, drug-free supplement designed to support your body's natural inflammatory response, take it.
And then if you don't think, oh, it's not making it that big difference.
Stop taking it.
And you'll see the difference.
Two thirds of people that take it.
Go on to order more month after month.
I want you to go to relieffactor.com.
Relieffactor.com.
Get the three-week quick start.
1776 is the price.
Relieffactor.com.
1,800 for relief.
1-800 for relief.
Okay.
So I started looking at the polls.
I started looking at the political polls.
And there's a couple of things that stuck out to me.
And I want to get to that in here a second.
But as I was going through the polls, I started to go deeper and looking at some of the other polls that are out there.
There are polls out now that show that we are to Americas.
But not in the way everybody thinks.
Pollsters have taken America's temperature.
And the headlines really wrote themselves, but you have to go deeper than the headlines.
Pride in being American hit the lowest level.
level Gallup has ever recorded. We've heard that. Okay. Only one in three of us say we're extremely
proud of this country. Among adults under 35, it's 14%. Here's another one that wrote itself.
78% of us say the American dream is harder to reach than it was a generation ago. 78%. A Pew study
of 25 nations found Americans are especially likely to believe that their fellow citizens are
morally bad.
Okay, so that's those
stories you heard. That's where the
headlines stopped. That's where the reporter stopped.
But that's not where the data stopped.
Gallup also
asked whether you personally
can still achieve the
American dream.
Remember, we're very pessimistic.
You can't make the American dream is over. It's over.
68% of us said, yeah, I can
still make it.
68%.
it's everybody else that you're worried about.
We haven't lost faith in the promise.
At least for ourselves,
we've lost sight of the people around us
who are still chasing it the same way we are.
Most Americans still believe in themselves.
What we've misplaced is our belief in one another.
And that is honestly the most fixable problem in the country
because it doesn't require Congress.
It requires a driveway.
way. Now NBC
saw a poll this weekend. I'm looking at all of these, trying to put them all together and figure
out who we are, where we are, where we're headed. NBC came out with a poll headed in the
other direction. They looked at it from another angle. Fifty-four percent of Americans say
most of us share the same core values and simply disagree on policy. Okay, so the majority
believes we're basically alike while we tell our pollsters that our neighbors are morally bad.
both of those things cannot be true.
Here's my answer to it.
One comes from your street and the other one comes from your screen.
While we may be busy doubting each other,
millions of Americans were quietly raising the bar.
For 25 years, Gallup has asked Americans whether a list of behaviors is morally acceptable or morally wrong.
For most of the time,
acceptance has moved in one direction.
And you know what direction that is.
This year, it fell on 17 of the 20.
Three years ago, 70% said having a baby outside of marriage was morally acceptable.
70%.
Today, that number is 58.
Gambling was 71% in 2022 as morally acceptable.
Today, it's 57.
How did that change happen?
No law changed that.
No politician has been campaign.
There's been no television crusade.
There's nobody telling us what to think about gambling and having babies.
It's just millions of ordinary people looking at their own lives, their own kids, their own bank accounts, their own neighborhoods, and deciding, you know, some things matter more than we've been pretending they matter.
This is the really good news.
Nobody has organized this.
Nobody has funded this.
It's happening one kitchen table at a time.
which means it can keep happening the exact same way.
As you know, in 2024, weekly Bible reading in America hit a 15-year low.
We're at 30%.
One year later, according to Barna, it jumps 12 points.
Now, who led the way?
Not grandma and grandpa.
They didn't lead that climb.
You know, boomers now read scriptures less than any of the way.
other generation. So who let it? Men. Fifty-four percent of Gen Z men and 57 percent of
millennial men say they open their Bible every week. Excuse me? Fifty-seven percent? For generations,
women outread men. Among the young, that's flipped. Now Pew has a poll out,
says this revival talk is overblown. And maybe it is. I don't know.
But for years we were told the young men were lost.
The young men were angry.
The young men were gone.
Well, these are the same young men.
Some of them are sitting at their kitchen table every night or at least one night a week,
looking at an old book, looking for something true.
That's not a lost generation.
That's a searching generation.
That's really good news.
There are also the young people who told Gallup,
that they aren't proud.
Wait, what?
Now, you can hear contempt in that if you want.
But remember, this is a searching group.
I hear a generation that hasn't been given much to be proud of up close.
What have we given them to be proud of?
They've been handed a country through a phone,
and the phone only shows the fights.
Difference between the driveway and the screen.
You don't learn to love a country from a feed.
How do you learn to love a country?
Is it through school?
I think you learn to love your neighborhood, your neighbors, and your country through a coach that shows up.
Through a neighbor that plows your driveway.
A church that brought dinner when you and your dad were sick.
Love of country is built out of gratitude for people.
We lack gratitude because we're so busy on our screens.
You know, Pew asked, what does it take America to live a fulfilling life?
61% said close friends are essential.
61.
More than marriage, more than children, more than said money.
We know the need.
Yet one in six of us feels lonely or isolated all or most of the time.
So Pew went farther.
What cuts that loneliness?
Well, it's not a pill and it's not a program.
Among Americans who don't know any of their neighbors,
one in five feels lonely all or most of the time.
Among those who know most or all of their neighbors,
it's 6%.
Less than a third as many.
You know the loneliest place in America?
is New York City, surrounded by people, but you don't know anybody.
So let's lay the poll side by side here for a second.
We think our fellow citizens are morally bad, and yet we feel alone.
Now, hang on just a second.
How does that work?
We don't know anybody, but we think our neighbors are bad.
Again, one is reality, one is a screen.
We doubt the dream is open to anyone except us.
And the most powerful things that move those numbers cost nothing.
Just know your neighbor.
Most of what we fear about people disappear is the moment you learn your neighbor's name.
You know, the guy with the wrong yard sign becomes Dave, who just lost his mom.
The family that never waves becomes the Martinez.
family whose boy deploys next month.
The woman who seems cold is a widow who hasn't had a real conversation since August.
The kid with that annoying loud truck is saving for a ring.
The screen never introduces you to Dave or the kid or the widow.
It introduces us to categories.
And it's easy to hate a category.
It's kind of hard to hate a guy who just returned your ladder.
This week I want to challenge all of us.
Don't try to save the Republic.
Take back your corner of it.
Learn one name you don't know on your street.
Knock. Bring something or don't.
Just say, you know, I've lived here for four years and I've never introduced myself.
You're going to feel awkward for about nine seconds.
And then your neighbor's going to go, you know what?
We've been trying to come over to your place as well.
Call a friend.
Call a friend you've let drift.
not a text, a call, call them.
You already told the pollsters,
friendship is what makes life worth living.
Let's start acting like we mean that.
If there's a young man in your life,
your son, your grandson, a kid who bags your groceries,
while you're standing there and they're bagging the groceries,
ask him, what are you reading?
He may be waiting for somebody older to talk about it.
Be that person.
And while you're at it,
tell him one thing about the country.
grateful for. Not that he should be grateful for, that you're grateful for. He may never have heard a
grown-up say anything like that out loud. Here's the thing I wanted to start before we get into the
election polls. I wanted to start with this. Experts will continue to poll. That's good, good. But every
one of those numbers is a headcount of choices people like you made last month. Change the choices
and you change the numbers. No one in Washington can do that for you. Nobody in Washington
and can stop you.
The polls say Americans doubt each other.
The same polls say we're wrong about each other.
That we still believe in ourselves.
That we're quietly raising the bar on how we live.
How can we be raising the bar dramatically and yet more and more of us are becoming immoral?
That doesn't make sense.
We don't know each other.
Our young men are lost and yet our young men are opening the Bible.
And we know deep down that a good life is measured in friends.
That's not a nation in decline.
That's a nation homesick for itself.
America's not a poll.
America has always been a porch light.
Turn yours on.
Back in a minute with polls for the election.
Let me tell you, 5 million, that's a big number.
5 million Israeli flags planted in the ground across 17 countries.
More than 4,300 churches, synagogues, universities,
participated in the international fellowship.
of Christians and Jews for the third annual flags of fellowship initiative.
They still have my flying over the ranch because, well, I was going to fly it last week because
of the, you know, FOF, but it's raining and I don't want to go out in the rain.
Those flags get very heavy and wet.
Anyway, every one of those flags carries a message to the Jewish people.
We remember October 7th.
We stand with you and you're not alone.
That's an extraordinary thing, especially in a world where anti-Semitism is becoming so disturbingly common.
But here's the question.
What happens when those 5 million flags come down?
Because, you know, the needs of the Jewish people don't disappear.
They don't disappear when the ceremony ends.
There's an elderly Holocaust survivor that still needs food, families who still need shelter,
vulnerable people who need medical care.
And that's where the fellowship comes in.
They turn that into a promise of solidarity and in the practical life-saving help for people
desperately need it. Five million
flags, powerful message. Now we
have the opportunity to make sure the Jewish people can
continue to feel the love and the support
interactions. JoinFOF.org
now. Give today. That's join
FOF.org. 10 seconds, station ID.
All right.
So let me look at the election
polls here. Short
version, there's some real
Republican bright spots.
The overall national trend
has moved towards the
Democrats not away from them.
But as I look into that,
I'm seeing that those national trends
are for
an unnamed Democrat.
Those are the polls that say,
are you more in favor of the Democrats or
the Republicans? But you don't
attach a name, you know, Gavin
Newsom. Oh, not for that guy.
This happens every time.
Whenever you have
a
party in power,
Right now it's the Democrats.
When it was Barack Obama, the same thing was happening with Barack Obama.
When you have a party in power and you ask people, are you for the Republicans who are in power?
Are you for the Democrats who are not in power?
Americans generally say, other side.
I want the Democrats.
Okay?
That's just normal.
That happens all the time.
This is why you can't trust the unnamed polls.
because once you drop a name in there, you're like, oh, well, not that guy.
And the Republicans do it too.
I'm for a, I'm for a, I'm for the Republican senators.
John Thune, okay, well, not that guy.
That's the difference.
So stop looking at any poll that shows, you know, unnamed Democrats.
Who's ahead?
Republicans are going to be ahead.
Now, here's where they're close or competitive, the Republicans.
In the Minnesota Senate, now the Democrat leads by an average of only 1.6 points.
Real clear polling has moved the race to a toss-up after several polls have shown a tie or they're within the margin of error.
Now, the Cook report still says that it's going to be a Democrat, and it is most likely going to be a Democrat.
but it is close
and the Republican is campaigning on what?
The Republican is campaigning
on what everyone should be campaigning on.
If you're not talking about gas and food prices,
you should be talking about corruption.
And that's what this person is campaigning on.
Oregon, the Oregon governor,
what's the governor's name, Kotex?
Oh, Kotech.
Oh, okay, I thought it was Kotex.
Anyway, 46% to the Republican 44%.
Now, an earlier poll had the Republican up 4543 with a 59% disapproval of the current governor's performance, the Republican, the Democrat.
Oregon hasn't had a Republican governor since 1982.
The year I graduated from high school is the last time Oregon had a Republican governor.
Republican in the gubernatorial office.
Uh, hello.
For this to be close,
Michigan,
two October polls near Thai.
U-Gov has L. Saeed at 49, Rogers 48.
I don't believe the U-Gov poll.
That's, that's not scientific.
Quantis has 48, Rogers 47.
Others will show, you know, El-S.
I eat up by seven, but I don't believe it.
The main Senate,
uh, uh,
Collins slightly ahead on favorability.
4845.
Collins always does better, you know, in the actual election.
Prediction market in the polls in the Texas Senate,
52 to 48 Republican.
They're saying now that, you know, you can't look at the national polls on Democrats.
I agree.
You have to look at it by a state-by-state basis.
and you definitely cannot look at it, you know, on these one-off polls.
Now, I'm sorry, on these polls where they say, you know,
it's an unidentified Republican or an unidentified Democrat.
Can't do that.
Now, what does all of this mean?
What do we do with this?
What is happening with Tala Rico?
We're going to get into that next.
Now that you know the polls, let's talk the street, not the screen.
Next.
You know, there is a reason they call dog's man's best friend.
Think about what it actually means.
Your dog doesn't care how much money you make.
Your dog doesn't care whether you got a promotion.
It doesn't care if you had a terrible day or the greatest day of your life.
You know, in fact, you can make a complete fool of yourself right in front of your dog,
and he just will wag his tail just as much as he was when you were doing nothing.
That's the game.
They're remarkable.
And when somebody gives you that much unconditional love, I believe,
we owe them something in return.
You can help your dog stay active and healthy for as long as possible.
You can help your dog stay out of the pains that come with aging.
Friend factor.
It's a daily supplement for dogs developed by the same people who created relief factor.
Friend factor formulated to support your dog's joint, health, mobility, and natural inflammatory response.
So they can keep not only just enjoying the activities, you know, it's so hard is when my shepherds couldn't
jump into the back of the truck anymore. Friend Factor. Help them.
1995.
Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com. It's friend factor. Now for your dogs.
See if you see a difference in your dog. Treat them right.

slash torch. We have some breaking news that has just, it broke about 20 minutes ago.
Let me go to Fox News for the breaking
breaking story. Listen to this.
DOJ spokesperson telling Fox this quote,
today in the Washington, D.C. area,
Homeland Security Investigations executed a
judicially authorized search warrant
secured by the Department of Justice.
This enforcement action is part
of an ongoing federal investigation.
Brian else.
Uh,
that's significant.
For a couple of reasons, that's significant.
First of all, they said this was a judicially authorized search warrant
as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.
Okay, when you're going in for an INS raid,
when you're going in for an ICE raid,
you don't need a federal judge to sign off.
Everybody gets this wrong.
We need federal.
We've never had federal.
federal warrants for ice rates. Never.
You don't need them.
That's through Congress that set that rule up, okay?
Not the administration.
So this is a criminal probe.
It started this morning at 6 a.m.
For this judge, this is for the District of Columbia.
I don't know about you, but have you checked the score in the District of Columbia on federal judges?
Now maybe there's one who's a conservative there,
but I certainly have never seen him or her.
Have you, Jason?
We've got to find out in this judge.
Who signed the warrant?
Because if this is a typical district of Columbia judge,
that's significant.
Okay, sources, I'm just reading this,
sources familiar with the investigation,
say investigators are examining alleged immigration fraud,
including the paperwork completed by her father.
DOJ is not publicly confirmed this.
The reports available so far do not establish
that Omar has been charged with a crime
and connection with this search.
Boy, I got to tell you,
I got to tell you,
if I were the president or I were the attorney general
and I had DHS agents come in,
And they said, sir, we need a warrant to go into Elon Omar's home.
I would look at those agents and say, are you out of your mind?
Show me the evidence.
And if it wasn't a very, very high standard of evidence, especially right before an election,
if it wasn't a really high standard, I don't think I would approve it.
I'd say, come see me in three weeks.
come see me in two months.
Come see me when you have more than this.
Only because this is a political firestorm.
And that does matter.
I want justice.
But you better be buttoned up for it to go to a judge.
Can we find, Jason, can we find, can you join me here for a second?
Yeah.
Can we find the name?
Let's see if we can also get BJ.
Ask Beth if we can get John Solomon on this morning.
He'll have more on this.
So it's a signed warrant.
What is the scope of this?
And who signed it?
So Omar's going to come out with a statement.
The next thing is going to happen is you're probably going to see a statement from our attorneys first.
And the White House should release the warrant and the affidavit.
of David if they can, if they can.
It might have to remain sealed, but you should, we should make sure that that warrant is
absolutely rock solid.
She'll have a statement out, then the DOJ is going to come out and explain the investigation.
But this could be really, really good, or this could be really, really, really bad.
You don't take her on unless you have it.
Would you agree with that, Jason?
Yeah, and this actually comes, the more I'm looking into this, I looked for the name of the judge, and that has not been released yet.
But the Daily Wire was just pointing out that this is coming just a few weeks after Borders-R Tom Homan confirmed that there was, that federal officials were actually investigating the allegations that she married her brother to commit immigration fraud.
So just a few weeks ago, Tom Homan confirms that, and today there is a raid at least on her,
Washington, D.C. home, and we're still not sure about, you know, her other home back in
Minnesota. But what does she have in her home? Remember, this has to be, you don't get a warrant
to search the house. It's not a general search. You have to go and say, we believe this evidence
is in the house and we believe it, you know, most likely is in a safe or in a bedroom or whatever.
You don't get a general search. Hey, we really think that she, you know, we,
have evidence that she, you know,
of married her brother. So we
need a search warrant. No.
No. What are you going to find in the house?
What are you looking for in the house? I mean,
the standard of a search warrant
is and should always
remain very high.
Yeah, it shouldn't
be random. Like, we're just going to go fishing.
I don't, I don't, I don't, I, this would
not appear to be like that.
It was just random and they're just going to go fishing to see
if there might be something they find, like a
sticky note on the refrigerator. Like,
Oops, married my brother, haxed up.
What are you going to find?
Literally, what are you going to find?
What are you going to find?
Maybe a family album with, you know, your brother in it as a family member.
I mean, what are you going to find?
I mean, I don't think she has the sticky note even in a safe that's like,
I got away with that one.
I married my brother.
I mean, literally, what would you have?
I don't know.
Apparently a judge.
Apparently a judge was convinced off of something that may or may not be there.
I don't know.
And a judge in D.C.
When's the last time you heard of a good judge in D.C. on our side?
Oh, gosh.
I mean, that, I hope, I actually hope that it's a, you know, a fair judge, but a judge on their side.
I hope that they got it.
They didn't go shopping for, I'm sure they did, as they always do.
Everybody on all sides does.
But I'm hoping that they got a judge who's not just, you know, a judge.
crazy Republican.
This thing, this is going to matter how it plays out in the press.
This is really going to matter.
And you know how it's going to play out in the press.
So please, please, DHS, don't have done anything and cut any corner.
Please, please.
Okay.
Got to talk about Talariko.
There's an audio out and I listen to the audio and the lady sounds, you know,
the lady sounds like she's not making it up.
Sounds real, but I don't know.
I have no idea.
I'm not going to vouch for this.
I'm not going to tear it apart.
I'm just going to say it's out there.
I'm not going to play it because I don't know if it's real or not.
But Tala Rico, the rumor going around and it's out now.
We didn't say this last week when it was out.
We talked about it in our meetings and I'm like, I don't want to peddle any of this stuff unless we have, do we have anything?
And they're like, no, it's just rumor.
I don't want to get into it.
Now it's out everywhere.
and now this audio tape has come out over the weekend
that shows somebody calling a mental health institute in Ohio,
and they said, hey, is James Talrico there?
And they said, no, he's not on, oh, you know what,
he checked out earlier this evening.
That's why I don't have him on the list.
Now, I don't know, I don't know about you,
but any real mental health clinic that's real is not going to be doing that.
You know, they have rules.
No, who is this?
You're not on the list of family members or whatever.
And they would know James Talrico, they would know you're not just calling up.
Now, maybe they called in the middle of the night and they got somebody who's, you know,
who's tired and kind of disgruntled and doesn't really love their job.
I don't know.
I don't know.
but the one thing I really, and this is damn near 100% serious.
How do you know, how do you diagnose James Tel RICO with mental illness?
Have you heard his policies?
I mean, the guy is clearly mentally ill.
How, how, I mean, I guess it would be for depression.
And this is not going to hurt his supporters.
If anything, they'll feel, oh, my gosh.
he's one of us he has mental depression maybe mental disorders i mean that's not going to hurt do you
agree with that jason you're a texan born and bred well i don't normal yeah i don't i don't this
whole james style telereico thing is just so odd but i everything there is he has never given
the sense that he is even remotely sane i was pulling up uh uh just statements from him back when he
was during COVID. Listen to this. Does this sound like a sane person? Quote, white skin gives me
in every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we go through our words,
our actions, and our systems. We don't have to be showing symptoms like a white hood or confederate
flag to be contagious. Those are not the statements of a sane person. They really are not.
And whether you're also, let's say he actually believes those things, okay, which I think he
does. He's gone to this church forever. He believes God has, you know, 80 genders or whatever.
And he believes these things deeply. He has now, for the last year and a half, denied everything
he believes deeply. Let's say he's, let's say he's an relatively honest guy. And all of the
handler said, you can't win that way, James. You'll never get elected. You've got to do it this
way. And now he's diametrically opposed to what he firmly believes. If he's an all a decent guy,
that's caused him real internal struggle. Imagine, imagine, I mean, I couldn't do it. Could you?
Jason, could you? For a year, if I said to you behind the scenes, Jason, you have to be against,
you have to be against America. You have to be, you know, for transgenderism. You have to
have to be everything you're whatever it is your diet you have to say well i'm not too sure about
god no okay and no you couldn't do it you would have a breakdown within a year you'd have a breakdown
you cannot deny who you are for that long so there's a possibility i'm giving this guy the benefit
of the doubt if there was a mental breakdown i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he's actually
a good guy that he actually believes something he's just lying right now and you cannot live
a lie, that deep of a lie with that much running on it.
And I've had all your friends and your church and everybody else going,
James, what is, what are you saying?
No, don't worry.
I'm just saying this to, you know, because I have to get elected.
If you actually believe in decency, that bothers you.
Now, I haven't seen that affect any politician ever.
So it just might be that he's mentally unstable.
It also might be that he had the world's longest flu.
I mean, I just don't, I'm sorry, I don't believe the flu thing.
I don't believe the flu.
I just don't.
I don't.
Have you ever had the flu for 12 days, Jason?
No.
And I think that would be very easy to prove, wouldn't it?
Especially now that there's multiple different questions on which, if you went to an urgent care in Dallas, which I think was the original story, then later it was I went to my primary care physician in Austin.
Both of those could have happened.
It should be very easy to prove.
just get rid of the questions out there if you're denying either story.
And let the, you know, let the, you know, clinic up in Ohio just say, I give you
permission, that lady that was on, I give you permission to talk to her.
I give you permission to talk to her because she's lying.
So go ahead, talk to her.
I have the evidence.
I have the records of where I was.
I can prove where I was.
I mean, it's not hard to prove where you are.
even if you have the flu, you have records of where you are.
It's really quite easy, especially if you just, you know, I mean, there's lots of ways you can do it.
Lots of ways you can.
I mean, I think Grock could probably do it.
You know, I think there's ways that it could be done, but it's maybe just me.
Real quick, I want to give a Keith Malinac update.
Keith is a producer that has been with Pat for 20 some years, 23, 24 years.
Um, he is a good friend of everybody that works at the blaze. He's a good friend of everybody on the Glembeck program and Torch. Um, and I think it was Thursday. Was it Thursday? Was it Thursday? Or is it Friday? I think it was Thursday. He walks out of the show, um, halfway through. And he's like, I think I'm having a stroke. And Jeffie says, let's call 911. And he says, no, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm just going to go sit in the lobby. And he goes sit in the lobby. Jeffrey calls out and says, hey, let me call. Let me call. He says,
call 911. He's like, no, I'm fine. I'm going to go home. So he gets into his car and he drives to
where his wife is and he's having a stroke. And it's, it's not good. It's not good. If you would
like to help support Keith, it looks like it be a long road. Prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer,

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Uh, there's a lot of
going on. A couple of hours ago, there was a warrant that was issued by a D.C. federal judge
to allow the DHS to go in under a judicial warrant into Elon Omar's home in the district of Columbia.
We think that this is all part of the DHS ICE investigation on her marriage,
which we did a show on, I don't even know, five years ago.
And between that and the Hunter Biden, I should say,
I've done three specials, four specials, that were way ahead and were right.
And I would bet my life that they were right when we did it.
One was COVID.
We were way ahead on that.
We showed you that the lab had an outbreak, you know, way before anybody was talking about it.
We showed you the documents where the Federal Reserve was actually taking money from the pharmaceutical companies.
We showed all of that.
There was the case of Donald Trump.
and what happened in Ukraine and that he was he did not do anything that deserved that impeachment.
In fact, it went the other way and that's where we began to find the Joe Biden stuff.
Then we investigated Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, and that was accurate.
The other one was Elon Omar.
And I want to take you through some of these because it's shocking.
It's shocking.
And it all came originally from the Minneapolis Star and Tribune.
This is a newspaper, which is not necessarily a Republican newspaper.
And they did a full expose on her marriage.
And I'm telling you, it's a scam.
Now, I'm hoping that the Justice Department has known what kind of can of wopass you've just opened.
and they have completely buttoned this up
because if they've done it improperly,
it's going to be a nightmare.
If they did it the right way,
this is going to be an interesting week or so.
And we'll talk about that coming up in 60 seconds.
First, my Patriot Supply.
We may be the first generation in human history
that considers waiting 45 minutes for dinner to be a crisis.
You can sit on your couch, push a button on your phone,
and have complete stranger bring you a cheeseburger
from any place that you want.
And if it takes too long,
you can watch his little car moving around on a map
and get angry at him in real time.
I mean, geez, what is wrong with us?
We have an assumption that everything's just going to get here right away
whenever we need it.
But what happens when that assumption stops being true
because it doesn't take the end of the world
to interrupt your food supply?
A major storm, a power outage,
a disruption in a supply chain,
can empty grocery store shelves in a hurry.
That's why I recommend my Patriot supply.
They offer emergency food kits with a shelf life of up to 25 years,
packaged in convenient, stackable containers that are easy to store.

Okay, Jason, I want you to join me on this, if you will,
because I have the time.
and I'm just trying to pull this out.
I'm still waiting for the Glenn AI
to generate the former scripts.
I don't have it on my screen yet.
I'm sorry.
Resink.
Okay.
But I want to give you, I want to tell you what has happened
in the timeline that the best that I can remember here, Jason.
No, still don't have it, guys.
Oh, wait, maybe it just updated.
Nope. Okay. So anyway, let me let me just tell you, let me tell you what I do have. And I do remember.
So she legally married, uh, Elmi, I think was his name, February 2009. And she said that they separated
religiously in 2011, but their civil divorce wasn't finalized until December 17th.
meanwhile she reconciled with Ahmed Hersey, whom she had a third child with in 2012.
Now remember, they were separated, religiously separated in 2011.
She has a third child in 2012.
She legally marries, remarries Hersey in 2018.
So now here's one of the problems.
Let me explain this.
If I remember right, Jason, help me.
me out. Oh, here's the show. Maybe you can look at it too. I just got it. If I remember right,
gosh, I'm sorry that we're doing this just on the fly, but let me see here.
Because if I can give it to you, if I can find it, Minnesota, there's so much smoke surrounding
smear campaign. Star Tribune finally decided to engage in journalism. Star Tribune did its own
investigation of allegations against Omar. They not only cooperated many of the facts reported
online by journalists, but they also couldn't find evidence to refute other basic facts of the
story. So here are the facts. First, Minnesota's campaign finance and public disclosure board
confirmed that Omar improperly used campaign money to pay a lawyer to fix her tax filings.
She was ordered to reimburse her campaign $2,500. The state board also confirmed she used campaign
money to pay for personal travel expenses and speaking engagements to reimburse her campaign,
blah, blah, blah, slap on the wrist.
But that's not all there is.
Perhaps the biggest confirmation to come out of the state of Minnesota's investigation
is that Omar broke federal tax law.
In 2014, 2015, she filed a joint married tax return stating that she was married to
Ahmed Hersey when she was actually legally married to a different man named Ahmed Ilmi.
In the real world, you don't get married to somebody else while you're already married to somebody.
It's known as bigamy and it's illegal and you don't file joint tax returns.
Now, Omar explained her unusual marriage, but she has not answered repeated questions about the tax fraud except through campaign spokesman.
The wildest and weirdest claim that has plagued Omar since entering politics is that her second husband, Elmi, is actually her biological brother.
Allegedly, they married for immigration purposes or maybe to help Elmi get a student visa and or a student loan to attend North Dakota State.
That adds a whole new, icky dimension to the three's company concept.
The odd fact that Omar and Elmi were married also by a Christian minister.
Do you remember this, Jason?
That was one of the things.
She religiously separated with her Islamic faith.
No, she didn't separate from her faith, but she separated from her husband in 2011, religiously.
Then she later files for divorce and she gets a, and she gets married.
They're both Islamic by a Christian minister, which would be legal to lie.
if you're a Muslim.
What is that called the legal lie?
It's tequita or something?
Tequia.
Is that an Elton John song?
Takia.
So she could, I'm just saying the worst,
she could have lied by having this marriage performed as a complete sham and say,
we're okay with God because our God knows we're lying,
and that's why we have a Christian minister.
Why would you have a Christian minister, Mary?
You know, she wears the veil and everything else.
She's not lax on her faith.
So she was married in her faith tradition, along with her carefully crafted image as a traditional Muslim.
It lends credence to the allegation that arrangement with Elmi is some kind of marriage of convenience.
The possibility that Omar married her biological brother is weird, but is it that far-fetched.
online journalists show the Minneapolis Star Tribune can't fully disprove what they're saying.
In fact, they've already confirmed 50% of what the online community was saying.
Elon Omar refuses to comment on any of it beyond hostility or calling people a racist.
A person refusing to comment.
So let's start at the beginning.
In 2016, Omar was set to defeat the longtime incumbent in a seat of the state legislator,
made by a user
Abdu Johnson surfaced on the internet
in a forum called Somali Spot.
Somali Spot is a forum for members
of the Somali community
to talk about everything from politics, the movies.
Abdi Johnson's original discussion
has now been deleted,
but the screenshot exists.
Quote, Elon Omar marriage fraud, exposure.
And the user goes on to explain
how Elon married her brother
to help get him into the United States
and he lists social media posts to back up his case.
The local media left it alone.
The mainstream media obviously wouldn't touch it
because it's on some obscure post on a Somali message board.
The independent journalist, however, did look at it.
A journalist at Alpha News began to look into the series of conflicting social media post
that makes this three's company.
David Steinberg over at PJ Media did his own digging.
He just released new information and attempts to put all the missing pieces into place.
His new research is based on a source within the Somal
community and it links Elon Omar to a UK citizen that he says is Elon's biological brother named
Ahmed Nuss Said Elmi. This is one of the most complicated stories I've seen blah blah, blah,
but here it is. She was eight years old when she was in a refugee camp in Kenya along with four
siblings and her father. Her father changed half of the family's name to Omar to gain entry to the
United States while the rest of the family kept their names and moved to the UK.
Elon then allegedly married her brother so he could get into the United States easier.
Wow.
Journalist David Steinberg was given him in part by multiple sources within the Somali community
in Minneapolis.
In the 2008 State Department, they stopped accepting asylum application from refugees that
claim they had a family member that was already in the U.S. Why? Because DNA testing showed that
87% of the refugees claiming asylum from Africa were fraudulently claiming that their family members,
they were family members of current U.S. citizens. From the early 90s up in 2008, immigration
fraud of this manner was rampant. In 1995, there were two families in Somalia. If someone was
denied entry to the United States, they could accomplish a lot more as a bunch. And that's what's alleged
here. It was two families. The Elmys and the Omar's. The Omar's headed by these two men,
and they were granted asylum and lived in Arlington, Virginia in 1995. The Elmys, however, had not
been granted asylum in the United States. They included a bunch of other people in her family.
Elon and Ahmed, obviously being brother and sister. So what they do is they separate these families,
put them into different categories. They say, you go to the UK, will work to get you in the
the United States, we can get this part of the family into the United States.
So this gets very, very technical, but you start to now have Facebook posts, Elon's sister calling
Nour, the guy that Elon is married to, as her father.
I'm sorry.
Neur, who is
Elon's
new husband's
sister, right, in the pictures,
calling Elon's dad
her father.
So it shows that
she's at least
claiming that they're brothers and sisters.
Correct?
Do I have this right, Jason?
Pretty much.
It's very confusing.
And I remember we did,
we had to like make it seem like a sitcom
at first we did Three's company that we did the Brady Bunch.
But the weird thing about this is that this started at what you just talked about on like a
Somali spot or whatever it was like a Somali blog.
And then Steinberg picked it up and he started linking all these different Facebook and
social media posts to the people that were alleged that, you know, were involved in this.
And through, you know, taking it through all of that, it started to look like this was a pretty good
case for some kind of immigration fraud. Now, I think you mentioned DNA testing, you know,
surrounding people that were claiming asylum specifically, you know, from Africa is interesting
to me because I wonder if that's what this rate is all about. I wonder if it's all about
DNA testing. Because if that's what they're going for, then that could just put the case to bed,
I would assume, as long as they have the DNA of, uh, you mean you get a hairbrush or something?
something from her?
Something like that.
Yeah.
That could potentially be what this is all about.
I wonder if they have DNA from him.
That's, yeah.
You'd need DNA from him as well.
So that would be really interesting.
Yeah, because that would put it up to bed.
I just remember looking at this whole thing going,
this is, because what it did turn into was a bunch of Facebook posts where they're calling her
fake husband, if you will, so we can just follow this, her fake husband's sisters and brothers,
her sisters and brothers, and then saying their children are her nieces. And so she's liking things,
all this, I'm so proud of my niece. Well, that's your fake husband's sister. So how are they nieces,
unless you're related to each other? And there was a lot of stuff like that. And it was really coming
from social media that was deleted, but they went back and got all of them.
I mean, it's really not good.
I mean, I think just in the show that we did, I thought we did enough in that one show to show the
American people that this was at least very likely.
Couldn't prove it, but the government can.
All right.
More in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor of this half hour. It's Patriot Mobile. Come right back to you, Jason. When did corporations decide their customers work for them? Because I remember a time when business had to earn your money. You know, they made a product. You decided whether it was worth buying. And if they treated you badly, you know, you took your business somewhere else. Pretty simple arrangement, right? But somewhere along the way, these giant corporations started acting like they were doing you a favor by accepting your money. And now someone will take your money with one hand and use the other to support political causes that you oppose in every possible way.
So take your business someplace else.
Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
They support the values of faith and family and freedom,
and you don't have to sacrifice good service to make that statement.
They offer you coverage on all three major networks.

10 seconds, station ID.
I'm sorry, I do not like coming to you unprepared.
And I'm just pulling all of this stuff out of my top of my head in our research libraries.
Just on the fly here about Elon Omar, because this story broke about an hour ago.
We were already on the air.
and the story broke about the DHS going in with a judicial warrant.
That is significant.
They keep repeating that, a judicial warrant in the district of Columbia.
It's not easy to find a judge that will do this.
And I hope they dotted every eye and crossed every T for that.
Otherwise, it's going to turn into just a political nightmare.
And I think they actually have something myself.
Jason, you were going to say a minute ago.
We were pretty clear when we did this.
story that it was all pretty, it was all just circumstantial evidence. So there was no definitive
proof either way. But the circumstantial evidence seemed to point to she married her brother. Well,
this was the allegation at least, that she married her brother so that her brother could come to school
here. And there was so much circumstantial evidence. And they lived together. If they remember,
do you remember, they lived together in the same home, in the same home with her former husband?
So she divorces her husband.
marries this other guy.
He moves into the family home
where the ex-husband is still living.
So Elon and her new husband
are having their, you know,
nuptials and all the bliss in one room
while her ex-husband is there and their children?
That makes no sense.
No sense whatsoever.
And there was never a really good explanation
from Omar on this.
And it seemed like all the certain
circumstantial evidence was a way better explanation for anything else that Omar or her campaign had ever put to try and deny it.
So you would think, and just a typical legal matter, that amount of circumstantial evidence would warrant probably what happened today.
You would think it just hasn't happened until today.
So, see.
So we'll continue to watch this story.
I want to, I want to just bring you up to speed on something in case you don't know.
A good friend of the program and somebody who has worked with the plays and with Pat and with me and everybody for 20-some years,
Stufford a stroke.
It's Keith Malinac, the producer of Pat Show.
And it's a significant one.
He's on a ventilator.
And he's in ICU critical condition.
These are the worst days.
His wife says that she is reading all of the messages that are coming in.
She said, quote, I know he can hear me.
and we're asking if you would like to, you can go to GiveSendGo, Help Keith Malenac with Medical Bills.

Okay.
Do we happen to have the audio from last week
when in Atamwa, Iowa,
there was a city council meeting
and a guy steps up.
Don't play the audio of it, please.
Just the video.
a guy steps up the city council is getting ready to do the thing and they're like okay we got to start
with a word of prayer you know word of prayer and also the pledge of allegiance and a guy stands up
and he's giving the prayer and he begins with hail satan and he gives a satanic prayer and we're not
going to play it on the air and nor are going to repeat any of it but it was bad and then everybody
just kind of got up and said the pledge of allegiance and I thought that was the end of it
It was not the end of it.
Rick Bick is a pastor for the New Life Center Church, and he happened to be there and stepped up right after.
And we didn't capture that, but Rick is on with us.
Now, hi, Rick.
Hi, Glenn.
How are you?
Thanks for having me.
Hupat, I got to tell you, that's a small town in Iowa, right?
Yes.
Yeah, we're in a, you know.
The heart of the country, yeah.
The heartland.
Right. Yeah.
I mean, my mom and grandparent was from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the small little Iowa towns that, you know, I think of the music man for the love of Pete.
And then to see somebody come out with a satanic prayer.
And the way we saw it, the way it was clipped was there wasn't really any reaction to that.
But that's not what happened.
Can you tell me what happened?
Well, yeah, he gave the prayer.
And I think everybody just went into shock.
And that they like, what just happened here?
And so the mayor went to the Pledge of Allegiance.
And I just like, wow, he just inside me, I wasn't saying this vocally or anything,
but inside me what was going on, this guy just cursed our city.
And we're not going to do that.
the mayor is a good friend of mine.
We pray every morning for our city for blessing for good stuff.
And this guy just cursed it.
And I just told myself, no, we're not going to, he's not going to get away with that.
So you stood up and what did you do?
I just stood up and challenged everything.
And because I thought I broke some of the protocol and rules and that.
But then the mayor called me and I said, that guy with what he said, you know,
starting out to pray with the O Dark Father and some of the things that were in.
it. And then he said, you know, ended with Hail Satan. I said, he just put a curse on our city
and we need to stop and just reverse it right now. And then I got a lot of flack from, you know,
one city council member. And I said, you know, with rules and regs and all that. And I said,
I don't care what the rules or regs are. We're going to stop and reverse this right now because
we're not, we're not accepting a curse on our city. What was the objection on the rules and
regs? There's no regulation on reversing.
something from a satanic prayer? I don't know what regulation stops this. Well, I guess it may be
rules of Roberts or something, but after, you know, the Pledge of Allegiance, they're supposed to go to the
consent agenda and some other, I mean, some other things in that. So she was saying that, you know,
me being vocal should have went to the end of the meeting where, you know, there's citizen comments.
And, but I think actually, because the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, you know, the, you,
there was no vote to
accept it or
confirm the agenda or you know
and that that really
yeah so it's okay for me and then
well even
go ahead if you're using Roberts for I think even Robert
would be saying no I'm cool
with us let's stop the Satan stuff
how did this guy
how did this guy get selected to give
the prayer? Who is he?
The Atomah hasn't had a
invocation prayer for many many
years. And our new mayor, that's one of the first things he wanted to do is bring invocation and prayer
over a city again. So he had written a nice outline for invocation and used previous things. And so
it was rejected. Part of it was like you need to be a pastor, a leader, five years experience
in the community. You know, nothing, I mean, pretty serious, you know, commitment, not just, you know,
walking in off the speed and doing it, which was pretty exciting. But then,
it went to the council and that other favorite group, the city attorneys.
So, and so they are that you're talking about the Satanist.
Or are the attorneys different than the state?
The city attorneys, you know, I'm not talking about the Satanists, because they,
then they review everything so that we, that we appease everybody.
And so we have to be open to everybody.
So they rewrote the guidelines.
And there are certain things that were to be followed.
I'm not sure that this.
this guy followed him.
But so they had to make it open to everybody.
And he was given some rules.
I don't, I, I think he had a meeting with the mayor,
um, a few minutes before or the mayor had talked to him before this meeting and that,
you know, everybody was, you know, um, thinking everything was going to be okay.
I thought he was going to do something goofy because I know him, but not that goofy.
You know what I mean?
So is he a Satanist?
Do you say he's goofy?
Is he a Satanist?
I mean, he just, he's, he's, he's, Matt's an extremely intelligent guy, a pigeon-aided, you know, and, you know, in some ways I like him.
But he gets off on this.
Now, he said he, that he goes to the satanic temple, but he doesn't worship Satan.
But then he, he agrees with the tennis, but not as Satanist.
So I'm not sure how that works at.
Yeah.
I'm not sure Satan really sees that fine distinction that he might be looking at.
So was this a political statement more than anything else?
You know, I'm not sure.
I think he was just, maybe it's, you know, for attention or, you know, I'm making a statement that, you know, it may have been an under, you know, the underlying thing may have been a way to get invocation back out of the city council meetings.
You know, it's so strange how we're all under attack.
This is weird to me as Charlie Kirk being shot in Utah.
I see a small town in Iowa and, you know, Satanic prayer is given before.
We are really in dark spiritual times.
The enemy is quite busy and is busy.
and is busy on every corner and especially the smallest, meaning us as individuals.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I, you know, no one was expecting this.
And quite frankly, I just, I reacted because I don't, my whole thought and process was,
you're not getting away with cursing our city.
Nobody's cursing our city.
We're blessed in our city.
I had no idea that this was going to, the, this was going to go the way it did.
How did the people in the, in Atumwa react to this?
They just blow by it or they, what's, what's the city?
Actually, well, at the meeting, if you watch it, you know, people are in shock.
Some people after he started, like one city council member after he started prayer,
walked out out of the meeting.
And but in the city, there's a lot, you can't see it in what you're showing there.
But in the city, even, you know, non-religious people are.
on there they're up in arms they're saying no who praised to satan who does that and so it's it's caused a lot
of things on the local local level well i'm glad you were there i really uh appreciate you talking to us
and uh and thanks for taking quick action because honestly i i saw the people like because i could
only see the people behind him and i saw the people uh behind him and they were standing there
and they looked like they were you know concentrated
on something else.
They weren't necessarily fully listening.
And I thought, you know, if I were standing there,
I think I would have said to my wife,
what just, what the hell?
What did he just pray to say?
I mean, I think that would have been my initial reaction as well.
You know, I don't think I would have, you know,
immediately like that, that one city council person that walked out,
I think he was way ahead of the crowd on that one.
Yeah.
So I did stand up, the invitation is to stand up and join.
I didn't stand up for it.
I just, because I thought this is, this is not going to go right.
Yeah, I just knew it wasn't going to go right.
And I don't want to be in agreement with that.
So, and then when he got done, what you don't see on the camera is when he got done, he turned.
You can't see me, but if you look on that screen to, to the left, I'm sitting in the first pew or row behind the low gate.
So when you see over his shoulder to the left, you can't see it.
you that sat down. No, no, no, no. I'm the other way. I'm, you can't see me. Okay. Okay. Okay. So,
so what would be, if you're looking at him, is his right shoulder. If you go to the other, I'm there.
And so when he came by, I stopped him and I said, did you just say, hail Satan? And he went into this.
Yeah. And if you can say in the name of Jesus, I can say hail Satan. And I said, no, you can't do that here.
You got to go. He virtually ran out of the building. So when you see me walking up to the podium,
podium, he's already in his truck and gone.
Rick, blessings to everybody in Atamwa, Iowa.
And thank you for standing up.
I appreciate him.
God bless you.
Thanks for having me.
Rick, Bick, New Life, you bet.
New Life Center Church pastor who, who, I mean, you have watched it.
No, no, don't watch the video.
It's just, it's crazy.
It's crazy.
And we should all be very aware that, you know, these things are happening around us.
And what are you prepared to do?
if that happened to you and you were somewhere, what would you do?
Would you have just gone on with it and went, I don't know what the hell, okay?
And then just went on with your life.
Would you have stood up, walked out?
Would you have approached the podium?
What would you have done?
You know, these are the kinds of tests that I think that we all need to pass now because
we're in like first grade on evil tests.
and they're only going to get harder as we go on here.
So what would you have done?
All right, let me tell you about leaf filtering.
You spend years saving money to buy a house
and then you spend the rest of your life doing chores
that you never knew existed.
For example, at some point,
somebody decided that part of owning a home
should involve climbing a ladder
and reaching into a metal gutter
and pulling out handfuls of leaves,
which, you know, we all just love.
I'm here to tell you that there is a better way.
It's called leaf filter.
Leaf Filter is a professionally installed gutter mesh protection system that keeps the debris out of your gutters while allowing the rainwater to flow through. And here's how it works. There is a stainless steel micro mesh screen that covers your gutters, blocking leaves and pine needles and other debris while water passes through into the gutter below. It'll make homeownership, oh my gosh, so much better. Help protect your home today with Leaf Filter, America's number one gutter protection system.

Let's see.
We've talked about Tal RICO.
Mental breakdown possibility.
I don't know.
The Russia oil deal.
Trump has made a deal with,
Russia. Now, Russia is saying, well, I don't know if that's a real deal or not. But apparently, he made a deal with Russia to release some diesel, you know, globally to help ease this. And he has also told Ukraine, stop blowing up the refineries or we're not sending any more weapons your way. And I think that's the best thing he can do. I think he's absolutely right to do that. Stop blowing up the refineries.
you're putting the entire world at stake.
For what? Crimea?
I mean, you know, we're putting the whole world at stake.
Yes, we are. Why?
Because the world knows in the dead of night, I can wake anybody up in the world and go,
hey, should Islamic extremist in Iran have a nuclear weapon?
The answer is no.
But at least we had a plan on this.
What is your plan?
It takes years to be to rebuild refineries.
What's your plan, Ukraine?
What are your thoughts on this?
I think Ukraine is doing everything that they,
they're basically reacting how I would react if I was a Ukrainian.
I would be doing everything they're doing.
They're defending their country from an invasion,
invasion force.
And it definitely weakens Russia to hit these refineries.
It definitely does.
I'm not asking about what Ukraine is doing.
Ukraine might be fine.
I'm asking, I'm sorry, you know, anybody who's against Israel, Israel's pushing us around.
Yeah, you want an example of this?
This is what's best for the United States of America.
And the president should speak as the best interest of the United States of America.
Knock it off, Ukraine.
Stop destroying those.
Yeah.
Agree or disagree?
No, I agree.
That's where I was leading.
to is whatever is good for Ukraine is not necessarily good for the United States of America,
our interests, and that of the global marketplace on diesel.
So you can't, it's hard in talking about this.
And the president will get hit on this because the people that are all about the Ukraine
war are going to say that the president is making it easier now for Russia and harder for
Ukraine.
But they won't talk about the flip side of it of, well, it's making it harder on the global
marketplace of diesel fuel.
it's making it harder for people to live day to day with their you know grocery bills everything else
how can we stop this well there's go ahead go ahead um so i it's it's become almost impossible
to talk about issues like this because you people will just go to one side or the other and i
that's the hard part is i do see how this hurts the war on the ukrainian side definitely does
but the other option is
diesel prices continue to skyrocket
up to when will be
$10?
I have to tell you
you cannot continue
to increase the price of diesel.
This is not just for the United States.
This is the entire world.
You will collapse the entire West.
This has to stop.
They have to stop.
I'm sorry if it works out
to Russia's advantage.
Yeah, sure.
But it also works out to
your advantage, you won't have an economy. You barely have one, but the rest of the world won't
have an economy. Nobody will be able to help anybody out because you'll collapse the economy on that.
By the way, there's, you know, there's a few things. I would love to have you urge the president
to do. Suspend the federal diesel tax. That's almost 25 cents a gallon. And that's immediate
relief. Just suspend the diesel fuel tax. Wave the Jones Act.
We are going to have problems with heating fuel because you have to have American flagged tankers
pick the fuel up and bring it to the East Coast.
Well, suspend that, temporarily.
Suspend the Jones Act so we can have any tanker pick up any oil and bring it to the East Coast for the winter.

We have time this hour.
I want to get back to what I was talking about last hour about the price of diesel and price of gasoline.
There's new polls out that show that that is the, that's the swing.
if the price of gas or diesel would go down dramatically,
it would be a real swing in the polls.
However, I also showed you new polls.
I'm sorry, but I don't think the Democrats are as strong as everybody says.
You know, a lot of these polls are looking at unnamed Democrats.
So they're saying, who's doing better, Republicans or Democrats?
You know, who would you vote for?
Well, it's always, whoever is in power, it is always.
the other side, unnamed that gets in.
It's when you start attaching names to it, that is the problem.
But I want to talk to you about gas prices,
not really just about the election,
because I think that's the least of the worries.
I think the economy overall, these prices have got to go down.
The president tried to make a deal with Russia on that,
and now we have bombings in Saudi Arabia.
And I hope to God the president's not going to get involved in that.
This is the Houthis,
and they are bombing Saudi Arabia.
Arabia and airports in Saudi Arabia.
As people are going to go to Mecca, a bomb came into the airport and blew up all these people.
And, you know, Saudi Arabia just signed a kind of a NATO pack with Pakistan, was it Syria, Turkey, and who else, Jason?
Who else is in this?
Why aren't they responding to this?
And the Saudis. Okay.
So there's a new NATO pact.
An attack on one is an attack on all of us.
Well, there's an attack.
Why aren't you?
Because, Mr. President, please don't get involved in that.
Please, tell them you got to take care of it yourself.
You want that to stop?
We're with you.
We support you.
Go take care of it yourself.
You know, Turkey's got enough firepower there.
And so do you, Saudi Arabia, to take care of the Houthis.
All right, more in just a second.
And I want to talk to you about what's happening at Cornell University.
I haven't talked about this, but enough is enough on this.
This is not good what's happening, and we'll get into that here.
First, let me tell you about the Burn of Launcher.
I've been a big believer in the right to self-defense, always have been.
I carry a gun.
I believe if somebody threatens my life, my family's life, I have a right to protect myself, and I will.
Now, there's something else that I also believe.
If you can stop a dangerous situation without somebody ending up dead, that's a much better outcome.
Because real life isn't a Hollywood action movie.
There's no director to yell, cut, no stuntman getting up after the scene and you're like,
hey, how was that?
The decisions you make in a few terrifying seconds can have consequences that last forever.
That's why I'm a strong supporter of Berna launchers.
Berna makes less lethal self-defense launchers that give you an option when you need to protect yourself.
You know, my daughter, I gave her one for Christmas, and she was like, okay, thanks, Dad.
And I like, put it in your car.
Tell she had somebody stalking her in the middle of the night, and she had to drive to a police station.
In the middle of the night, she called me the very next morning, told me what happened.
She's like, Dad, I'm sorry, the Burn a Launcher is now in my car.
I get it.
Please, please.
Get everybody you love, a Burn a Launcher.
Have it put it in their car.

Okay, so there's a Marine in North Carolina now who's never set foot on the Cornell campus,
but he's getting death threats now. And the only connection to Cornell is his name.
He shares it with one of the seven young men named in a lawsuit.
and the women's lawyers put out his address in a court filing by mistake.
Oh, well, thank you.
They corrected it, but the wrong filing stayed public,
and the internet does what the internet does.
His phone number went online, his attorney says the threats followed.
At least one other man with the same name,
who is a defendant, has been harassed as well.
If you don't know what this case is about,
let me just take you through what this case is about.
Woman says in October 24, one of the fraternity houses at Cornell, she was pressured into ketamine, marijuana, and alcohol until she was incapacitated and unable to make decisions rationally herself that seven members of the fraternity assaulted her for hours.
Her lawsuit includes a picture of a group chat. She shows them discussing the night.
She went to campus police three weeks later.
Now, the fraternity was suspended.
Cornell says it punished the students, some with expulsion.
The district attorney, however, didn't file any charges.
He says her first sworn statement didn't describe being drugged or gang raped.
Then, last month, she files a civil suit and the country found out.
Now, so here's what's happened since then.
District attorney's office has been buried in insults and threats.
prosecutors have demanded the university president's resignation.
The fraternity house has been vandalized, a comedy writer launched a website about the Cornell 7.
New York governor appointed Letitia James, a special prosecutor.
That'll clear things up.
Three days before her appointment, James had posted what the young woman had endured as horrific and unacceptable.
And one of the accused is now in court arguing that she's already made up her mind.
The other side has its mob as well.
The accusers has been mocked for not being attractive.
Her body was picked apart and so were her motivations.
No one has been charged with anything.
No jury has heard one word.
Both sides have already announced the verdict.
You would think we would learn.
But apparently we don't.
Does anybody remember 2006?
March 2006.
An exotic dancer says she was raped at a party thrown by the
Duke lacrosse team. The district attorney was in the middle of an election. A week after the
story broke, he gave somewhere between 50 and 70 interviews. He becomes a hero. Within weeks,
group of Duke professors sign a full page ad in the student paper that, you know, told everybody
that they had already reached a verdict. The court was forced out. The season was canceled. Three
young men were indicted. Their faces were everywhere nationwide. A year later, the
Attorney General of North Carolina, a Democrat named Roy Cooper, stood at the microphone,
and did something the prosecutors never do. He didn't say, we're dropping this because of insufficient
evidence. He came and he said the three men were innocent, innocent, called the case a tragic
rush to accuse. The district attorney was disbarred and spent a whole night in jail.
Now, happens the other way as well. Anybody remember Larry Nassar?
he was the Olympic coach for more than a year.
People knew, and he kept on abusing girls the whole time.
Nobody rushed in that case because nobody believed the girls.
You can fall victim by refusing to listen.
You can destroy innocent man or women by refusing to wait.
A just system doesn't allow either of those.
So what's wrong here?
There are two things, and I'm going to hit the obvious one first,
and that is, what went wrong?
I don't know. Believe all women.
And, you know, when that started, it was good.
It was like, hey, let's take women seriously.
When a woman comes forward, take her seriously.
Don't laugh her out of the room.
That part is right and was long overdue.
Take her seriously.
Unfortunately, that slid into she's always telling the truth.
And then that slid into he's always guilty.
And anyone who questioned that answer,
answer was an accomplice or part of the problem. Me too, me too, me too. Then 2020 comes,
and Tara Reid accuses Joe Biden. And suddenly everybody wants more evidence than she had. Wait a minute.
The rule held up right until it was inconvenient. That's how you know it's not principle. Okay,
it's a weapon. And weapons get picked up and used by whoever is closest. Is that a
the country you want to live in.
I don't.
So why we have to stop with the mob stuff.
On all sides, stop.
Now, there's another layer about this.
And I think this is the more important layer.
This is the layer about how the sexual revolution has made us miserable.
And I mean really miserable.
You know, when we started pushing the lie that all sex is good as long as it's consensual,
we lost the language to explain how we feel when we do something degrading.
Because when you do something degrading, your body knows it, your mind knows it, your spirit knows it.
This young woman degraded herself, and so did all the other people involved.
I'm not pointing fingers to her.
It's everybody.
It's all of them.
It was seemingly consensual based on her own texts to the two.
two young men after the event, she used the phrase, our body, our choice, quoting, nothing was illegal, end quote.
That's her.
Now, just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean something isn't wrong.
Here's what I think happened.
What she was trying to say when she started to feel ashamed, when she used, when she, when she, when she started.
feeling like, oh my gosh, we all degraded ourselves and she feels icky.
Sorry, that's a real word that can be used in this.
Icky.
She feels like this was wrong.
This was, she feels horrible because she's been degraded and she degraded.
But she was never taught the moral language to describe what just happened.
All she was ever taught was consent.
Was there consent? Yes, then it's good. It's okay. No consent? Then it's bad.
So now she's feeling bad. She's feeling the wounds of what she engaged in and all of them engaged in.
And so she has got to come to the conclusion there must not have been really consent because it feels bad.
and from that lie,
life after life after life is ruined.
And no one knows who to blame.
Now, I want you to know, I am not saying this about her.
I'm saying this about all of them involved.
All of us.
If it's just consent and then it makes it fine.
What stops us from beastiality?
Honestly, what stops?
You know, I think it's Peter Singer who says,
as long as the animal is enjoying it, it's okay.
What?
What stops us from beastiality is the idea of the animal can't consent.
What does that do to you?
You know, even though we can try,
we can try so hard to convince ourselves that, you know,
there's no such thing as right and wrong.
Our bodies know the difference.
no matter how many times you tell a young woman
that it's good to let seven men have sex with you back to back
as long as you consent her body, her soul,
the little spark of God that lives in her and all of us
will always tell her it's wrong.
And that same spark of God is in the men too,
who are also lost.
This is why I'm concerned about our society.
Guys can generally be pigish much more than women can.
It bothers women.
And in our society, it's seemingly no longer bothering women.
But I think that's what this is actually about, that it is bothering.
They just don't know how to verbalize it because they haven't been given any moral language.
The dissidents between what our culture teaches us about sex,
and what our conscience knows and creates shame in us without any understanding,
it leaves you looking for a scapegoat.
I shouldn't feel this way.
I did the right thing.
It's okay to do whatever I want.
Who's to blame here?
So there's two sides to this story.
There's the me to, me, two, me too, me too, gone wrong.
Both directions.
Believe the guy.
Believe the woman.
Always.
both wrong, let the system work it out, don't form a mob.
And then there's this.
And until we embrace there is such a thing as sexual morality again, the story is not
going to stop.
It's just going to happen.
No amount of consent or on-campus workshops about sexual violence will work because the
entire model is based on a lie.
Our bodies still know it's a lie.
because that's how God made us.
It's time to listen.
Back in a minute.
If you look at the history of this country,
there is one group of people
that doesn't get nearly enough credit.
The people who feed us.
You know, we build monuments to generals
and name airports after presidents.
We put billionaires on the covers of magazines.
But it's the farmers getting up before sunrise,
works through all the elements,
make sure the rest of us have something
to put dinner on the table, right?
he's lucky if anybody even knows his name.
And without people like him,
none of the rest of this works.

Jason, let's talk about the Houthis.
I mean, everybody's talking about those darn Houthis, aren't they?
Can you start with, if you happen to be watching the insider broadcast,
I'm going to show you, and I'll describe it if you happen to just be listening to us on radio.
And thank you for that.
play the video of what happened.
Where is this in Saudi Arabia?
Which airport is this?
Do you know?
So this is the international airport in Riyadh.
In Riyadh.
Okay.
So big, beautiful airport.
People are going to Mecca to pray.
Not good.
And a rocket comes in, a missile comes in, and hits.
How many people died?
That was, so it killed at least 12 people, injured over 3,000.
300 and there was a second attack the very next day.
I'm not sure what the damage was on that one.
So how is Saudi Arabia reacting to this?
How do you let, I mean, if somebody,
if Canada would have thrown a rocket into one of our airports,
I think we would have responded immediately.
Well, I think there should be an immediate response
from this new, you know, what they're calling the Mideast.
NATO.
It's not what it's called, but there should be an immediate response
from Turkey, Pakistan,
and in Saudi Arabia, saying what they're about to do.
But I don't really see that.
So why aren't they?
Why aren't they?
Well, it's a...
This just started, this new NATO just started,
oh, I don't, I don't know,
within the last six months.
And they said, those three countries said,
an attack on one is an attack on all of us,
just like NATO.
And Turkey's got enough, you know, military.
I mean, aren't they the strongest in Europe in NATO?
Turkey? Besides the United States, they've got to have
probably the largest of all NATO countries.
Yeah. So where are they?
Saudi Arabia is not somebody to be trifled with.
I mean, we send them all kinds of stuff. We've sold them all kinds of stuff.
I don't know why they don't ever use it themselves.
Pakistan's not just a bump on the log. Where are they?
What is Saudi Arabia saying? What are they? I mean, is anybody reacting to this?
We better not be.
Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous.
There were rumors, I think it was from the president saying that we were considering helping
the Saudis in this attack.
But I'm so tired of this.
That's always been, you know, how they do this in the Middle East.
They'll talk a big game and then they'll just wait to see how we respond.
That cannot be the way for it.
I'm done with that.
You know, I think this under this would undermine everything the president is working towards.
You know, he's trying to get us out of these Middle Eastern wars.
He helped set all of these alliances up.
You know, he's put a whole new council together, et cetera, et cetera.
They're attacking Saudi Arabia.
That is not our job.
You guys are big enough.
You have the ability to take care of the Houthis.
You know, it's not like you're taking on China.
You're taking on the Houthis.
If you, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey can't take care of that.
What are we doing?
if you won't take care of that, what are we doing?
No, no.
I think it undermines absolutely everything the president is trying to do.
This one, I don't think going into Iran was something that got us entangled in long foreign wars or anything else.
That one strategically made total sense to me.
If we get involved in the Houthis without the, you know, without Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan doing what all,
they can first, then everything that I'm seeing would seemingly be a lie. Or I completely
misunderstood it. One of the two. All right. More in a minute. Stand by. Somewhere in America,
there's a future doctor who's going to save thousands of lives. There's a future scientist who may
discover a cure for a terrible disease, a future teacher who will change a child's life.
There's a future mom and dad who will raise a family, changes the world.
and ways that we can't even imagine.
Right now, some of those people haven't even been born.
Some of them may never even get the chance,
and that's why the work of pre-born is so important.
Preborn supports pregnancy clinics that provide free ultrasounds
and compassionate support to women considering abortion.

Earlier today, I started the program with some polls that I was looking at beyond politics.
What is happening to us?
And I found really, really good news.
Go back and listen to that.
It's how I opened the show today.
And I want to take this final segment here and kind of circle back to that.
My sister just moved to Idaho.
And for her whole life, almost her whole life, she lived in the same neighborhood in a town called Bellingham, Washington, which is like Marxist Central.
It's a beautiful town, the water.
Politically, it's as far left as American can get.
And she wasn't far left.
She's not a Marxist.
She's not even a Democrat.
And in a neighborhood where politics was kind of the, I don't know, the membership card.
decades on the same street
meant she had very few friends.
Nobody was ever cruel to her that I know of.
She just never fit.
She had no friends that were neighbors
and, you know, everybody knew it.
So she packs up
and she moves to a small town
about 10 miles from mine.
And it's a very religious town.
She's not, you know,
goes to the same church or anything.
But it's a, I mentioned this because
it's a place where the shot
Shops, clothes on Sundays, and the churches are full, you know.
And without any laws, they just don't do it.
Everybody's at church.
The other day, I was driving through in a way to a friend's house, and I turned to Tanya,
and we were driving through this neighborhood.
And I said to Tanya, I said, I don't think I have waived to this many people on a street in my life.
And I don't know half of these people.
They just, they look up, you know, moms in the front yard with their three kids in a garden hose,
and you drive by, and they're like, hi.
And you're like, hi, I don't know you, but hi.
old couple on their knees, you know, with the tomatoes and every single person looking up and wave at a car, they don't know.
Not my neighborhood.
Who's fabulous.
It was fantastic.
So a couple weeks ago, my sister has a truckload of sod that's delivered.
She just moves in.
She has just dirt in front of her yard.
And so this sod is delivered and comes in the morning.
Landscapers aren't due until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
So all day, she had a driveway full of rolled up grass sitting in the sun.
and a street full of neighbors she had known about for about a week.
So I'm coming about 5 o'clock.
Five o'clock the landscapers show up.
But so did the neighbors.
Nobody called them.
Men still in their, you know, workboots and moms and a church youth group
and a pack of teenagers who apparently had nothing better to do on a weeknight
than unroll a stranger's lawn.
It was bizarre.
One hour, front yard and backyard, all done.
By the time I get there, they're halfway done.
The landscapers were there, by the way, which is additionally odd.
None of the landscaper said, don't touch that.
No release forums had to be signed or anything else.
For a myriad of reasons, this does not happen anywhere in America anymore.
But it was great.
Within an hour, the grass was done.
The sprinklers were running.
The youth group was sitting on my sister's brand new lawn eating pizza.
had run out because she didn't know what else to do with the feeling.
I'll let me go get them pizza.
And not one of them asked.
So what church do you go to?
No one asked, how do you vote?
It was a townful of people that take their faith seriously, as seriously as anybody else in America.
And the only membership they checked was, do you belong to the human family?
She did.
That's enough.
It was amazing to watch.
I know this community, so I wasn't surprised.
She was shocked.
She pulled me aside.
She's like, what's going on?
What's the catch?
What's happening?
He said, there's no catch.
But I understood the question.
Because a lifetime of modern life teaches you that when somebody shows up unasked, they want something.
A vote, a signature, you know, whatever.
She was like, what's the angle?
What is happening?
And I'm like, there's no angle, honey.
This is the community you moved into.
I hope you like, name.
neighbors because they're going to like you.
These people are just deciding to act like Christ instead of just like talking about Christ.
And they do it so they can become a little more like Christ.
And I told her, I said, seeing you happy is what they get out of it.
Seeing you happy.
I have to tell you, I've never seen my sister happy.
My sister is so happy right now.
I can't tell you how many times we've talked about.
What happened with Assad?
And this is the way we used to be.
You know, when somebody needed something, you know,
and no family could do it alone, the neighbors held a bee, okay?
A raising bee is what it was called when you would put up a barn,
a logging bee to clear a field, a husking bee for the court.
Or before winter, women would do a quilting bee.
The whole countryside would come.
Farm frame would go up in a day.
Nobody was paid because we're all in it together.
The family had one job.
Just feed everybody when they're done.
Are we still in it together?
Do you live somewhere where you believe that?
My sister didn't know any of that.
She didn't know any of that.
She hadn't seen any of that.
And so then she just goes and gets pizza,
which is what the bee used to do.
I mean, I guess it's in our blood.
No one knows for sure where B came from,
but the word Americans used for neighbors showing up
has a
actually started
they think
they think
for a word for prayer
which is funny
because
that's why this town
is the way it is
prayer
sincere,
honest,
non-judgmental
humble
prayer.
Nobody in this little town
is perfect.
They have bad tempers
and bad knees
and teenagers
that roll their eyes
right up until
somebody rolls out the sod
what they have is in perfection
in fact it's humility
they bowed their heads long enough
to find the one thing that actually
can make a person better than he or she is
and then they got up off their knees
and they went to work
that's why I love little towns
I couldn't wait to get out of my little town
when I was a kid
there's nothing happening here
yes that's the point
this little town understands something
that most of America has forgotten
and everybody wants to live in a town like that, I think.
Almost nobody wants to be the kind of person, however, that makes a town like that, you know?
These folks know that if what they do doesn't match what they want, then they'll never have it.
You know?
Not eventually.
No, no, no.
Not ever.
If your actions don't match your wishes, you don't have a wish.
You have a complaint.
Why isn't my town like this?
well are you like this honestly i i just wish i just wish all the people who thought like me
kind of lived in this town but i'm never going to tell you the name of this town because
uh well partly because of security but partly because
i spent a few days last winter in a town called franklin tennessee
and it felt like my town felt like a town i'd love to live in
but now people from all over the country mainly california
are moving in. And I, I, there's a clock on it. You watch, there's a clock because it happens.
People fall in love with a place, but not with what made it. They love the, the waving and the quiet
Sundays and they lawn that appears in an hour. And they figure out, oh, and you know what, they're very
religious. It's kind of a quaint little custom, you know, like an accent. It's charming, but
religious people are weird. I mean, it's just one of those little quirks until everybody,
moves in and it dies out and then you're like, wait, wait, I thought that was optional. It's not
optional. It's not optional. The religious people are the ones that usually make it like that
quaint little town. It's in the water. My sister can buy a lawn by the roll. Comes off the
truck green and perfect and it's grown on somebody else's farm. But if nobody waters it,
it's brown within two weeks. It's dead. It only lives if it sends down the roots. It's
into new soil. You can't move into a little town like this and unroll it over your life. You have to
grow it. So I'm never going to give you the address of this town. I'm sorry. I know there's a lot of
people who love to live in a town like this and good for you. Go find one. I don't trust the
Californians. I don't trust the people who are like, I like this, but I just don't like the religious
people. Okay. You don't need the address anyway. You need the habit. Because somewhere on your
street, there's a widow with a yard full of leaves. There's an old guy who should not be
raking the leaves anymore. There's a new family that doesn't know a soul. A man whose fence
blew down in the last storm, start waving at the cars that go by and then show up unasked.
and don't check what church they go to or what's on their bumper, leave before they can pay you.
And if you're the one with the pallets in the driveway and they do show up, buy pizza.
I don't know if we can ever fix our big towns.
Because I think this was the problem.
This is when America lost itself.
When we moved into the big cities and we became industrialized, we stopped depending on one another.
I said to you earlier today, the loneliest place I've ever lived is New York.
York City. And I lived with seven million neighbors. Nobody knew each other. I know how this country was
built in the first place. And it wasn't built from the top down. It was raised one barn at a time by people
who prayed and then picked up the other end of the beam. I'm, I don't know how to fix everything.
I'm convinced if we fix ourselves in faith, it'll be the small towns that just
may be where America comes back from.
My sister spent decades on a street where she had to earn her way in or just by agreeing,
you know, she moves 10 miles from me and was handed a lawn for showing up.
Tanya said to me as we were driving away from visiting my sister just the other day,
she said, you know, if we would have moved here, I wouldn't have moved anywhere else in my life.
And I'm like, are you kidding me?
Do you know what that beach house cost me?
I could have gotten it for this.
She's like, I would have left.
And I said, I know, I know.
It's the neighbors.
That's all that matters.
It's the neighbors.
I'm just grateful we live close enough to get to wave.
And to my sister.
Welcome home.
All right, American financing.
Credit card companies have, you know,
I've figured out something remarkable about human psychology.
If you owe somebody $10,000, it sounds terrifying.
But if you tell them, you really only owe me a couple hundred dollars a month.
Suddenly, it doesn't sound so bad.
Never mind that that's all interest that's piling up.
Never mind that you're making payments for years.
And the interest isn't making a dent on what you actually owe that $10,000.
They've managed to turn debt into something that feels almost comfortable.
Isn't that great?
It's exactly what makes it so dangerous.
And if you're a homeowner struggling with high interest debt,
I want you to know about American financing.
They help homeowners explore mortgage refinancing options that can use home equity to consolidate debt
and potential lower the monthly payments that you have.
In fact, their customers save an average of about $830 every single month.
It's a good chunk of change.
Imagine what that kind of breathing room could mean for you and your family.
Refinancing.
It's not right for everybody.
You need to consider the terms and the cost and the long-term implications, but American financing
can help you explore all those options and it might save you a lot of money.

Average savings based on borrowers who save up for $19999.
Doesn't matter if you drive a truck
or a Tesla.
Raising good kids takes the same kind of love.
More Glenn Beck next.
You know, we were talking earlier
about the price of diesel.
and this is really one of the problems here on diesel is the war in Ukraine.
And President Trump has just went to Ukraine and said stop bombing the refineries.
Or we're going to stop giving you aid.
And I'm 100% support of that on multiple fronts.
But he knows that diesel prices are going to really, really affect the economy.
They already are.
I don't know how people are surviving.
I went down, a friend had a diesel truck.
We went, I took a friend down to the airport on Saturday.
We filled up the truck.
It was $207.
$207 for just like, you know, a duly.
What?
It's insanity.
Anyway, so I started to say last hour, and I want to see if I can squeeze all these in,
the president you need to urge the president to suspend the federal diesel tax that's 25 cents a gallon that
will help the the the Jones act has got to go away he's got to wave this this this is an act
where if you are a foreign flagged tanker you can't carry oil from one of our parts to another port
that is going to make diesel fuel for heating fuel so expensive in the east and west coast it's
got to stop.
And then relax the
fuel regulations.
You know, all the fuel rules,
relax them, at least for a while,
at least, you know, until February
or whatever. Please, Mr.
President.
