SHOCKING Hamas/UN connection discovered during a week in Israel

Glenn's head researcher, former DoD intelligence analyst Jason Buttrill, spent a week in Israel to mark the first anniversary of the Oct. 7th Hamas attack. And he discovered a shocking connection between the United Nations and Hamas. Jason reveals what he currently can about the situation: The IDF has loads of evidence, recovered from Gaza, that the UN has been supporting high-level Hamas leaders, including by giving them apartments. This fits with Israel's recent verification that a bodyguard for the deceased Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar, worked as a UNRWA teacher. So, why hasn't the IDF released this yet? Jason has a theory. Plus, he describes what else he noticed during his trip: Israel is "preparing for something major," they view Oct. 7 very differently than we do in the U.S., and it's quite possible that Hamas attacked too early. Were Iran and Hezbollah supposed to join in?

GLENN: So you just got back from Israel. And you saw some amazing things.

What can you share? A

JASON: Yeah. So I went on my own. Just on a fact-finding mission on my own. For one, the entire perspective that we have over here, of what happened on October 7th, is completely different over there.

I mean, here, we say the horrific terror attack on October 7th. I remember driving in at night, and the entire skyline is lit up with October 7th memorabilia.

GLENN: Wow.

JASON: And you never really hear them say, the terror attack by Hamas on October 7th. That is -- that is more like, the day that the war began. That is how they say it: This is when the war began. they say themselves now in war fitting, war footing, as they should.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, they are.

JASON: Yeah. Netanyahu and the Israelis are not going to stop.

They know who the enemy is. And they know the enemy is close -- is selling rockets to Russia.

And is close to a nuclear weapon. If they don't already have one. I mean, I'm so sick of hearing. Oh, they're very close.

They're very close. You know what, if they don't have one now, maybe there's a problem with their science program.

Because they've had -- they've been close for almost 20 years.

JASON: Glenn, there was so many revelations on just the actual strategic situation. I was just blown away.

There were documents that came out, I think a couple of days ago.

Where a lot of the mainstream outlets were talking about how, oh, this was supposed to be a bigger attack than it actually was.

There was some buildings in Tel Aviv. There was supposed to be a follow-up attack by Hezbollah from Lebanon. They captured documents, off of the Hamas terrorists, that hit October 7th.

Plus, when they actually went to Gaza and captured more documents there.

I think Hamas. And I believe they believe this as well. They jumped the gun.

This is part of a coordinated attack. So that was supposed to happen, from Gaza. A similar attack, called I think conquer the Galilee. Was supposed to happen from Lebanon. Via Hezbollah.

They were supposed to do the exact same thing in the North. And then all of the Arabs in Israel, were supposed to rise up at the same time.

And then you would have Iranian rockets. You know, coming from all our proxies. That was supposed to be a huge battle. This was when you, talk about like --

GLENN: Divine Providence?

JIM: Divine Providence. It really was. I mean, it was a horrible event. But if they would not have jumped the gun when they did, this would be a completely different conversation.

GLENN: So can you talk about the hospital you saw?

JASON: That was amazing. Oh, my gosh.

GLENN: Are you sure you can talk about it?

JASON: I think so. I -- I'm pretty sure. I was on my own.

GLENN: All right. All right.

JASON: They are preparing for something major. Whether that's --

GLENN: This just seems.

You told me this, this morning.

I just want to you listen to this, with Biblical ears.

JASON: So they're either preparing for a regional war. Or a major war, if it would ever happen.

GLENN: In Israel.

Jerusalem.

JASON: Right. I'm sure there's no books that have ever been written about calamity striking, you know, that area.

GLENN: No.

JASON: But they have a fully functional, underground hospital. That is just ready to go.

I mean --

GLENN: And it's massive.

JASON: I showed you, a photo. There's -- it goes down multiple stories down under the ground.

They have wings on each different level, under the ground. They're just ready to go.

They have the beds.

They have the air filtration system all done up.

Communications. My phone had cell signal. Like five stories down under the ground.

And I was like, wait a minute. I can barely get cell reception in Dallas, Texas, in some areas.

They're like, oh, we have some things.

I think you have some things.

There are some things going on. They are so prepared, if something happens.

We pale in comparison.

GLENN: You know, I wish I found out, five years from now. That all this money that we've just been blowing.

Wouldn't it be great, that, no, no, no.

What we built was a Manhattan project.

Not with a bomb.

But we made sure that people were safe. We -- you know, stored up food for seven years.

You know, something. We're not getting anything for our money.

JASON: Yeah. Speaking of money we've waste to the UN.

I told you about those documents they recovered.

They're finally being released. The IDF are releasing it to the media.

All that stuff is great. You can read it now.

There are other documents, where I begged them, Glenn, to give me. I was like, please.

I was like, we can do so much with this. You know, you've heard of stories, the UN had some workers.

They were around.

Took pictures October 7th, blah, blah.

The UN countered. We didn't know about that. We put them on administrative leave.

We investigated the issue.

I almost cussed. Bullcrap. Bullcrap.

They have documents. UN official documents, that say, oh, the UN, through this program. Was giving apartments to some of the highest commanders, in, you know. Hezbollah pap in Hamas. I'm like, wait a minute. What?

We have heard some things that connect them to, in a roundabout way.

But official documents? And they were like, well, yeah. Check this out. And then check that out.

And then check that out. I was like, where did you get this? It's like, we took them from Gaza. When we entered into Gaza. This is official UN documents.

Signed and everything. That shows how the UN relief. And the worker's aid.

I'm not going to put words in their own mouth. But this is my own words.

I don't see how they're anything, but complicit in there.

GLENN: They are.

JASON: I mean, why hold that though? That's what I told them! I was like, release these now!

GLENN: Because I don't think they have any real ally.

They might release it, if Trump wins.

They don't have any real allies anywhere.

Who will stand with them?

Hold that powder. Think I can get those documents?

JASON: I think things are in the works. To get those documents. Yeah. I've got -- I've got the very distinct impression, even though they were very, very, you know, diplomatic about it. That it doesn't feel like they have an ally in the United States.

GLENN: They know we are, right?

JASON: Seems like it. Seems like it. Yeah.

GLENN: What was the most stirring thing that you saw?

JASON: Oh, man. So many different things.

Can I tell you about the time I became a Jew for a couple of hours.

GLENN: Tell this story. This is amazing. Listen to this.

JASON: So check this out.

There's only one Israeli flight, airline, can get into Israel right now. All the other flights are closed down. So if you are at a place in the country, like say Los Angeles. You can go -- there's a direct flight. Or New York, there's a direct flight.

Anywhere else in the United States, you are going through London Heathrow, typically.

Now, I had -- coming from Dallas, I had to fly to London and had a four or two-hour.

I can't remember what it was. Seemed like forever. Layover in Heathrow.

Well, to get to that, you have to take some trains, once you land in London. You have to get to that terminal.

Well, that terminal, where El Al is at, is where all the other Middle East flights go out of.

So you're talking about Qatari Airlines. Emirates.

Like, all the other Arab Airlines are right there.

When I get there, you go to the little corner where Al El is, amongst all the other airlines. And there's multiple tiers of security, just to get to the security counter.

GLENN: Just that airline.

JASON: None of the others, just that airline. So when you're standing in those tiers of security, to get your ticket. You are getting the craziest screw you eyes, or I'll kill you eyes, from all the other people that are around there.

STU: Hmm.

JASON: I literally felt like they wanted to kill me, just because I was getting on an El Al flight.

GLENN: Just to assume that you were a Jew. Or an evil Zionist.

JASON: Right. Or a friend of Israel. I don't know. But I was like, oh, my gosh. This is crazy. I finally got to security. Got my ticket.

GLENN: By the way, so you know. Before he gets to the end. So you know, Jason is not like this. Jason is -- I wet my pants easily. He doesn't.

STU: Yeah. He has lots of other problems. But that's not one of them.

GLENN: I mean, he doesn't shy away from, oh, really?

They're looking. I will stand right in front of them. You're not like that.

JASON: No, no, no.

I was giving them stink eye back. You know, and you can say something.

But when you get out of there and get your ticket, there's no security. So they put the Israeli flight at the very end of the terminal.

And there's another -- so you can't just -- if you have a Qatari airlines ticket, you can't get to that part of it. You can't walk up to the gate, and they don't open that area up until like 30 minutes before boarding time.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

JASON: So you kind of have to hang out with everyone else.

I got my ticket. And I kind of felt like, I was stepping out on to a prison yard. Like, oh, my gosh.

I need to find allies now.

Think about this. This is in a public, London Heathrow terminal. I'm feeling like, I'm on a prison guard. That's how they're staring at you.

This is how every Jew feels, when they're in that terminal.

So I did the only thing -- I likened it to a prison. I looked for like a clique, where I thought that I would be safe.

And I remember I looked off into a corner. And there was a group of, like, 20 Orthodox Jews.

And they were praying right before.

And, you know, she was -- with the hats.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

JASON: And a few other Israelis. You can tell they're around, that weren't orthodox.

I looked over there. And beelined it. I walked over there, and in my mind's eye, it's like the Orthodox Jews, pumping iron.

They have like tear drop tattoos. Stars of David.

And I was like, hell, yeah. I'm going there.

I walked over there, and a couple of them actually stopped.

And they are swaying. Looked at me. And I swear, Glenn. I got a nod.

Like a quick -- and I tried to talk -- they won't talk to me.

They won't talk to me.

They just keep doing their thing.

Got a nod. And I went right behind them and sat down and hung out with them. That was my refugee.

GLENN: So I just want you to know, this is how brave he is. He used Orthodox Jews, possibly a rabbi, as a meat shield.

JASON: Strength in numbers. Those are my boys. Those are my boys.

GLENN: I know. I know. That's amazing. Thank you very much, Jason.

JASON: You bet.

GLENN: We're glad you're back safe.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
