'Greatest risk of a terrorist attack in 20 years': Senator SLAMS 'atrocious' Biden move

White House officials have admitted that they're concerned about terrorists illegally coming across our southern border. But what is President Biden's plan? A spending package that DOESN'T even secure the border! Instead, it tries to tie our border funding to Ukraine aid and Senator J.D. Vance is having none of it. Sen. Vance joins Glenn to tear into Biden's "atrocious" proposals, including another one that would tie Israel aid to Ukraine and Palestinian aid: "Joe BIden is effectively using dead Israeli children to sell this package to the American people." And just as concerning, he says, is the fact that "too many Senate Republicans are going along with it."

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Senator J.D. Vance. Welcome to the program, sir. How are you?

J.D.: Good, Glenn. How you are doing?

GLENN: Good. Thank you for standing up for this. This is, in my opinion, disgusting what is happening. Tying these two things together. And the way we're financing Hamas and Iran, is really stomach-turning.

So thank you for standing pick up. Tell us what you're doing.

J.D.: Yeah. I appreciate it, Glenn. Look, the problem here, is that Joe Biden sees a political opportunity in 1400 murdered Israelis. The terrorist attack happened. Of course, this is a very terrible thing. We lost a lot of Americans in that terrorist attack.

In my view, we want to power the Israelis to do as much as they can to degrade Hamas.

That's on the one hand. On the other hand, you have a non-stop Ukraine conflict.

We already poured $120 billion into Joe Biden, would like to pour another 60 to $80 billion on top of that.

It is, I think actively contrary to America's interests, to food and fuel prices in the world to have this war continue.

And so Joe Biden has figured out, that he can use the Israeli conflict, to sell the American people on indefinite war in Ukraine.

And, in fact, he's delivered a supplemental spending package to the Senate, that would do exactly that.

Combine Israel and Ukraine. So it makes those of us who are pro-Israel. Makes it harder for us to oppose the package. Unfortunately, Glenn, this is the important part. Too many Senate Republicans are going along with it. When you combine these packages, you put pro-Israel conservative senators in a bind, because they don't want to send another $60 billion to Ukraine.

And Joe Biden is effectively using dead Israeli children to sell this package, to the American people.

We need to separate the packages. Have a separate debate. Because they're separate countries, that raise separate questions and problems for our country.

That is the reasonable thing to do. And we shouldn't be going along with Joe Biden's politicization of the Israel tragedy.

GLENN: But how are you going to do that?

You have people like Lindsey Graham. Who thinks this is just gangbusters. This is just the greatest.

Because now you can get both. There are those, honestly, JD, can you tell me, what does victory in Ukraine look like?

I can tell you what victory in Israel will look like. And end of Hamas.

Possibly an end to the nuclear bomb-building capability of Iran, at the most extreme.

What does winning look like in Ukraine?

The death or the overthrowing of Putin?

J.D.: Well, we have no idea, Glenn. And this is the problem with the Biden administration's policies. They haven't articulated, what are we trying to accomplish in Ukraine?

How long will this take to accomplish it? And how much money will it cost us to do that?

The answer is. And when you talk to them in private settings, they will tell you, Glenn. They really have no idea how this will end. Their hope is that if they kick the can down the road another six months, maybe the Ukrainians make a strategic breakthrough. Maybe the Russians just get tired of fighting.

Maybe the tooth fairy intervenes. Something is supposed to happen.

That makes it possible to bring Russia to the negotiating table.

They know, there was no victory for Ukraine, if you define it as pushing them completely out of the territory, that Russia controls.

So they're just hoping. And I don't think we should be spending $60 billion of American taxpayer money, on top of 120 billion we've already spent. On a hope of Joe Biden and his foreign policy advisers.

It's disgraceful. And it's disgraceful, too many Republicans go along with it.

I will say, one final point here. Obviously Lindsey Graham and I disagree very stridently on the Ukraine question, but even a lot of my Republican colleagues, who are pro-sending money to Ukraine. They want to defy the packages. Because they recognize, it's a slap in the face to Israel

To tie their fate to the Ukrainian war.

GLENN: Aren't we also tying the border security to the Ukrainian funding?

J.D.: That's exactly right. And this is just another example of Joe Biden trying to take things that are politically popular for conservatives. Package them together. And then use that to sell the interminable war in Ukraine.

By the way, Glenn, if you read the fine print on the alleged border security package. It actually gets much worse.

What we're really doing is funding and facilitating Joe Biden's open border.

We are sending resources to communities that are housing illegal migrants.

We're spending a lot of money to transport migrants from the Southern border, all across the country.

There is nothing in the package for real border security. So it's not just that it's a political ploy by Joe Biden, to call something border security. So we can support Ukraine.

When you read the fine print, it doesn't even accomplish border security. It's really, really atrocious, what this guy is trying to do. And, look, I expect it, right?

I disagree with Joe Biden. I didn't vote for him. I'm not going to vote for him. What is ridiculous is if Republicans go along with it.

So the encouragement I make, Glenn, to you, to your audience, because you have a huge audience.

And the voters actually have a voice, and their representatives to them.

Call into DC, and tell them, divide the packages.

Do not hold up the border. And do not hold up Israel's security on Joe Biden's Ukraine war.

GLENN: I have to push back on this one.

And I hope you have a good answer.

But I for one, asked my audience to call. And be polite.

And they called, a couple of weeks ago. And Sean Hannity, asked his people. And Levin, and everybody else.

We called the House. And the weasel Republicans, actually used that, as an excuse to not do what we felt were the right things.

They said, we had these people calling us. And saying all kinds of things.

I can guarantee you, that it was only the odd duck, in my audience that would have done that.

They wouldn't have called them names, and threatened their family.

Maybe that happened.

But that is -- that is not the American people.

That is not the people who support the rule of law. And the Constitution.

So when you say, call the Senate. What is that going to do?

J.D.: Look, Glenn, I understand people have you frustrations. It actually does matter.

And here's the thing. These guys were going to be weasely, no matter what people did. They were just looking for an excuse to not do anything.

GLENN: Right. Exactly right.

J.D.: But I guarantee you, that the calls did not hurt Jim Jordan's speaker candidacy.

They helped. It's just unfortunately, the weasels were going to find a way to kill Jim Jordan's speakership candidacy anyway.

It really does matter. Trust me. I sit in these lunches with my colleagues. Folks I agree with and disagree with.

When they have the American people motivated about an issue, it does affect them. And it does matter. You know, I was one of the first people to endorse Jim Jordan's speaker candidacy.

I think we got a very good speaker. Congressman Johnson gets through this afternoon.

So despite the fact that I supported Jim Jordan, it was pretty clear early on, that they were never going to let Jim Jordan become the Speaker.

And it had nothing to do with us calling.

In fact, I think calling, actually did help us a bit.

GLENN: Okay. So call all of our Republicans.

We need all of them. And then some Democrats too. Don't we?

J.D.: You know, to divide the packages. To actually force us to have a separate debate.

We need 41 Republicans to stand tall, and say, we're not going to do Joe Biden's bidding for him. We're not going to accept this combined package.

100 million-dollar payment. Which, by the way, a lot of open border funding.

So no. I actually think we need Republicans to stick together.

Even if they are pro-Ukraine funding. We need the message to be, we're not holding the American southern border. And we're not holding Israel's security hostage, to the Ukraine war.

GLENN: Yeah. All right. So we don't need all of the Republicans, which helps. Because you'll never get the Romneys of the world.

Okay. So call your Senator.

When does this vote go down?

J.D.: Well, look, it probably won't go down for a couple of weeks here. It's unclear when leadership will try to move this package. But right now, the fight is to divide it. So we have separate votes.

That's what I'm trying to work towards now.

GLENN: Okay. So call your senator today.

And I know when I ask you that. I know. Because I would be rolling my eyes.

You're in the car. And please don't roll your eyes. Keep your eyes on the road. But I would be rolling my eyes as well. I would be like, oh, really, that's going to help.

But we have to do all the things that we do, and then leave the rest up to God.

Do what you're supposed to do.

Do what the system requires. Don't.

And I don't have to say this to you, my audience.

Don't do anything stupid. Don't make threats.

You'll only hurt our cause.

Hello, January 6th.

Please, don't do any of that. I don't mean to insult you or your intelligence on this.

But please call your senator, and tell them to separate. Because you're getting a bogus border bill.

Yeah. Something is wrong with the administration, and their -- how can they be sending money over to Israel.

And then saying, oh, you have to stop. You have to stop.

Don't do anything yet.

There's something wrong with this. I think it's just an act to get the money to Ukraine. And we're headed towards World War III. And the last thing we should be doing, is lumping all of this together.

J.D.: That's exactly right, Glenn.

By the way, if you have Hamas terrorists, who are obviously attacking the Israelis. But are also planning attacks in the United States of America. How does it make sense to facilitate their migration all across the continental United States.

You cannot have real border security, if you're paying people, to move themselves from the southern border, to you all across America.

That will facilitate an open border. And it will actually promote acts of terror in our country. I hate to say it, Glenn. Because I hate to be alarmist about this stuff. I think we're at the greatest risk of a terrorist attack in this country that we've been in 20 years.

GLENN: I agree.

J.D.: And the reason is, Joe Biden has let in a lot of designated terrorists, and then paid money to have them flown across the country.

GLENN: We have had -- we know -- we've caught -- I think it was 400 people that are on the -- on the watch list or the terrorist list. Four hundred, we have caught.

How many people have come across, that we didn't catch?

I mean, we know there are people that wish us ill, that have come into this country. And it's only a matter of time. And when you see the streets, in these Palestinian marches, where they are saying, gas the Jews. Gas the Jews. There's only one solution.

That's not a group of people, or at least a few of the people, that are friendly to our country.

Those are people that do really bad things. Geo

J.D.: That's exactly right, Glenn. And, by the way, a lot of these folks came into the country, and feel no gratitude towards it. And they're importing the ethnic and religious hatreds of their old country into the new one.

This is why we should have -- I really believe this, Glenn. We should have actual screening for people, even legal immigrants, to come into our country. To actually confirm that they share some of our values.

And that if we bring somebody from Palestine, for example.

They're not going to come here, and want to kill Jews and the Westerners because of something they were taught in their own country. If you're an American, become an American. Or stay out of your country.

GLENN: Amen. I can't believe that that will probably cause you a headache today. Because it is absolute common sense. J.D. Vance. Thank you so much, sir.

Meet the pro-Intifada candidate NYC Democrats just elected

New York City Democrats just elected 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a "socialist Muslim", as the Party's candidate for mayor. But Glenn Beck argues that his radical beliefs are actually communist and Islamist.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.
