Are these SIGNS a war with Iran is about to begin?

The United States just made some major moves in the Middle East that usually indicate a war is about to begin. Is the US or Israel about to go to war with Iran? Glenn Beck and his head researcher Jason Buttrill discuss what we currently know.

GLENN: Stu, do you have any idea what it's like?

Jason is up this week. And he is staying up at the ranch. Do you have any idea what it's like to have me and Jason in the same house for a week?

It's not a happy place.

STU: No. Many visions of global apocalypse have been discussed. Yeah.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

I was working yesterday on what -- what's happening with Hamas and Hezbollah. I just finished the show.

What is happening on the streets of Los Angeles and everything else.

And I'm sitting there. I'm a little exhausted, and he comes up.

Have you heard the news? I'm like, no. What?

I think Israel will bomb the -- it could be tonight. It could be tonight.

Do you know what that means?

No. I don't think -- it means total collapse. It will be ugly.

Dogs and cats will be tearing each other's eyes out.

And it's very good. Very good possibility.

Kamala comes back. And she's the president of the United States.

It will be that bad, Glenn.

Okay. Thank you. And I'm not going to sleep.

STU: Sounds like a fun time. This is why you moved into the mountains, right?

GLENN: Yeah. It is. To get away from Jason.

STU: Right.

GLENN: Well, okay. Jason, take me to this.

Because yesterday, the government did some things that they don't ever do.

At least I haven't seen them do, unless war is pretty imminent.

Right?

JASON: Yes. Can I start with the maybe possible upside, before we freak everybody out.

GLENN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

JASON: The possible upside, as we were watching the possible upsides yesterday, so was Iran. So were their people.

Especially because the negotiations between us and the Iranians is still going on.

And, in fact, I think they're supposed to meet Sunday because the original ultimatum that Trump gave Iran was, I think it was 60 days. It's supposed to run out, I believe today. So this is the negotiation of negotiations. Like, this Sunday it's big.

GLENN: Okay. Okay. So this all might be Kabuki theater, to get them to the table.

JASON: You saw Trump.

Even Trump's interview. He's a master negotiator and strategist on this thing.

So this could be, hey. This is what you're playing with.

GLENN: He didn't give this to me, last night.

JASON: I have to save some --

GLENN: I was awake all night.

Yeah. Bits probably negotiation.

JASON: He was like Tania, give the food to the blind. Let's go!

GLENN: All right. So it might be, but do we make these things?

That's a master negotiator. That's an expensive move.

And a big move to pull everybody out of the embassies.

And to pull all of the families out. From the military bases?

JASON: Yes. Yes. So that is very big.

In a single 24-hour period, we had the Pentagon authorizing the voluntary withdrawal of dependents and family members from some of these locations within the Middle East. Almost immediately after that, another I don't know if you call this a leak or a release came out, that we were sending out emergency information, to all of the diplomatic facilities. Embassies, within striking range of Iran.

So you're talking about northeast Africa.

All of the Middle East. All those areas. Saying, put together a comprehensive emergency plan. And instead of diplomatic cable back to us, to let us know what that plan is.

Now, at this point, we were like, okay.

What exactly is going on?

Now, again, at the same time. We get senator cotton saying, that Pete Hegseth confirmed to them, inside Congress.

Saying that, okay.

Now Iran is actively pursuing a nuclear weapon.

Actively pursuing a nuclear weapon.

This guy said right after that, yes. For the first time the UN is admitting to us, that for the first time in 20 years, Iran is just not -- they don't care about any of the proliferation, anything.

They're just going all out.

GLENN: Good! That's good.

JASON: This was all spewing out immediately, within 12 hours.

GLENN: Stu. Help me.

STU: You've already run away outside of all civilization. I don't know what more help you can get.

GLENN: Is there a shovel?

I can tunnel in -- you know, remember when -- what was it, the dwarves?

You know, they tunneled into that mountain. In one of the Lord of the Rings thing.

They were in that mountain with the dragon and stuff.

I think we can do that. Get some shovels. Let's go.

Let's go.

So I know you were up. Until the sun rose, in Tehran.

Because you were monitoring it.

Because you were waiting for the skies to light up.

JASON: Yeah.

GLENN: I said this morning, if there is a strike, it will happen after the stock market closes on Friday.

Because this would cause massive disruption.

And let's just talk about first, before we get into what the response would be. And what we would have to do.

And what other countries would have to do.

When Israel goes over, they're saying, they will bomb the nuclear facilities.

But we don't think they have enough to build a bomb yet.

But there's a chance.

And if they don't get all of it, it's real trouble!

GLENN: Yeah, you best not miss.

There's multiple, multiple nuclear sites within Iran. Just off the top of my head, I can think of six to nine, I believe, that they would have to at least have some kind of strike on.

Some of the facilities are so well-entrenched, because they've been playing this for a long time.

And to defend specifically against an attack like this, they're so dug under the ground and protected and hardened.

You're probably talking about multiple strikes, at a single target.

GLENN: Right.

JASON: So it's not like a single strike.

GLENN: This is like -- in a way, it's kind of like Top Gun 2.

Where they were going after, and they had to -- you know, they had to first land a bomb. And another one had to fall into that hole. Right?

Because it was all buried so deeply. This is going to be precision stuff.

JASON: Precision stuff. Top Gun 2. But probably spread over a week of multiple dangerous runs.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

JASON: Yeah. It's more than a single night operation. It will go on for several days.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

Okay. So now, how's Iran respond?

JASON: That's the question.

GLENN: Yeah.

JASON: And immediately counterattack. With a strike like what we saw. What was that a month ago?

Something similar to that. Just to start. Then the scary stuff happens.

GLENN: Okay. So let's get into that here in just a second.

Also, I want to talk to you about what's happening in New York, on the medical front.

And governor Hochul. What she's -- I mean, it's -- it is amazing how dark the left can go.

Be the light.

The TRUTH about the Gaza “FAMINE”

The mainstream media is pushing the narrative that Israel has caused a famine in Gaza…coincidentally at the same time as the UN meets to discuss a two-state solution. But what’s the truth about this “hunger crisis”? Glenn Beck exposes the reality of the viral photos of “starving” children that prove how disingenuous the media is.

The ONLY WAY to win STUPID arguments

Anti-Nazi martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote, “stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice.” This stupidity, Glenn Beck argues, is exactly what we’re seeing in American politics right now: not intellectual stupidity, but moral failure, a willful surrender of independent thought that allows groupthink to take over. So, Glenn shares the only way we can win these stupid arguments …

RELEASE the Epstein Files … with a caveat

Glenn Beck wants EVERYTHING in the Epstein Files to be released … BUT with a caveat. Glenn warns that America will have massive problems if the files are released and people don’t actually READ the report. If we only listen to X posts and the media, we can be easily manipulated.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Somebody asked me. Might have been you, Stu. Said, why do you think they're putting up a stink about releasing the files?

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: I can guarantee you, that Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files.

STU: You said that at the very beginning.

GLENN: Years ago.

STU: Even with that -- more recently when Elon came out with his tweet. And we all said, of course, he's in the files. He was friends with this guy for a long time, but before people knew.

GLENN: Right, and he broke up with him, if you will.

STU: Before his initial arrest.

GLENN: Right, before the initial arrest. And he broke up with him, because it's like, hey, you treat women like crap. Okay. So, yeah.

He is in the filing. I can almost guarantee it. So why wouldn't you want that out?

For the same reason he's saying, you know, there's a lot of people in here, whose names are going to be involved, who may not have done anything.
That's not just protecting him. You know what that is? That's a comment on us. Because here's my stance on this. The whole thing should be released.
Every bit of it should be released. However, there is a competing argument in my own mind that says, not responsible enough for that. What do I mean by that?

This system of our government is wholly inadequate for an immoral and non-religious society.

And I don't mean, well, our society has got to go to church.

I mean, you have to have the underpinnings of things like the Ten Commandments.

Don't lie!

Don't cheat. Don't steal.

Don't smear your neighbor. We don't do any of those things. Okay?

We can't even do ten simple laws. Okay?

And they're all good safety tips. I don't know occasion if I renamed all of these things.

If I didn't use the religious context, every American would say, yeah. Well, that's a good thing.

Hey. You shouldn't worship your car.

Yeah. That's a good thing. You know, you shouldn't -- you shouldn't look at the image of somebody, and go, that's -- that's who I serve.
That's my God. No! That is a bad thing.

Don't cheat on your spouse. Don't lie.

Honor your mom and dad. All of these things, we would all agree, we can't do that as a society! We can't even agree on eight of the ten!
So how are you going to remain free? Let me bring this back to the Epstein file.

All of this information should be public. It should be out there. There should be no secrets.

Unless it is in our national interests.

And I don't mean, well, it could go badly for the CIA.

Good!

Let it go badly for the CIA. If they did something wrong, or they were doing something nefarious. Or they were doing something that the American people just wouldn't like. I want that exposed.

Okay?

But are we responsible enough to have all of the information?

I contend, no!

That doesn't make me say. I'm still saying, release it all!

But I'm telling you, the consequences will be ugly.

STU: It could be a mess.

GLENN: A mess.

STU: That's okay. Probably.

Because we're talking about -- if there's information in there, that the American people need.

GLENN: I think we are approaching a place to where it's -- it's not just a mess.

And here's why I say that.

STU: What do you mean?

GLENN: So you get all this information. How is this information going to be used?

Of course, Donald Trump's name is in there.

Is Donald Trump -- did he -- was he messing around with young girls?

No. No.

STU: Is there even an accusation.

I mean, there's a lot of things they accused Donald Trump of.

GLENN: Not that.

STU: Is this even an accusation that he was interested in underage girls?

GLENN: No. No. No.

And all they're saying is, he's in the file.

Well, there will be a lot of people in the file. Okay?

A lot of people in the file.

And some of them might be guilty.

Some of them, you -- I worry, because I want to know their names. But I want to hear, why were you with him?

Oh, it was before you knew.

Oh, it was this or that. You were getting money as a scientist, for your thing. From him. Okay.

But it wasn't about underage girls. As a society, we will not read the Epstein report.

We won't.

STU: No. Of course not. Right?

We won't read it. It doesn't matter if it's ten pages! The vast majority will not read it. What they will do is they will go to Twitter and X. And they will look for what name is in there.

And somebody will say, Donald Trump. And you know what you know this means? He was diddling with little girls.

And that will just become their opinion, not based on fact, not based on anything.

Except, somebody who has ill will on anyone or is just as stupid as the rest of the public.

Yesterday, this -- last week, this file came out from Tulsi Gabbard. And what do you say this is, Stu?

One hundred fifty pages, maybe. One hundred pages?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. My staff read it. We read it. You know why?

Because you weren't going to read it. And my job is to make it easier for you to understand what is going on.

My job really is not to tell you, what is going on.

I'm -- my job is actually to try to give you perspective on why it's happening, and what it means.

But because nobody -- and I'm not dissing you. This is a very, well-read audience.

In many cases, more well-read on some things than we are.

But generally speaking, the American people don't read.

They don't read these reports.

This one came out yesterday, and what is this?

20 pages, maybe?

And this thing is unbelievable. Because there were only five copies of it.

This was the -- they categorized the highest level of top secret outside of a nuclear weapon in our codes.

Okay. This was in the most top -- this was like the knock list, at the CIA.

Five copies, all in one -- in one safe. Where the most confidential CIA stuff is kept.

And it was released yesterday.

And it's not 30 years old.

It's four!

Did you read it? Did anyone actually -- I contend, very few reporters, very few talking heads on cable TV even read these.

STU: Yeah. And, by the way, it's not an unreasonable expectation for a population to have a media that is going to inform them properly about very lengthy government documents.

GLENN: Correct. Correct.

But once you have seen that that media is not reliable.

And everybody knows that now.

You may not find me reliable.

But the person who doesn't find me reliable, also probably doesn't find CNN reliable.

They might go, well, they're a little better than he is.

But they -- they don't trust anybody.

And they shouldn't.

At this point, you shouldn't trust anybody.

Which means, you have to know it for yourself. So when you're looking at the Epstein files. You're looking at these files.

These files, everyone should care about. Because this shows. This -- it's not new. Some of it is!

But very little of it is new.

It's just authentication that what has been said, all these years, by people like me, is accurate!

And you wouldn't have fought about its accuracy, if it didn't matter.

But you fought -- he didn't know what he was talking about. That's a conspiracy theory. He has to be shut down. Get him off Facebook. Take him off Twitter.

He can't say these things. Why would you say that if it didn't matter? Now you not only that know those things are true, but you now see a pattern of behavior. It's like looking at one murder, and then another murder, and then another murder.

Okay. We've got three murderers, on the loose now.

And then all of a sudden, you realize, wait a minute. Not only did those murders happen, it was the same guy. Now you have a serial killer.

Is a serial killer more -- a higher priority than just one murderer?

Yeah.

Yeah. It is. Because they are -- they are killing people -- I don't know. Out of the love of it. Out of their distorted.

It's not a crime of passion. It becomes something really, really sick.

This is a serial killer.

You now have not just one offs. You see, this is a pattern.

This group has been doing this from the beginning. You know what I said, you know, if they can get away with this. They will keep doing it.

This shows, they got away with it, for so long.

By 2016. They just, they don't care anymore.

They don't care anymore.

But how many people are reading this?

What they'll do is they'll listen to people like me, or people like CNN, and they'll say, oh, well. I heard Jake Tapper talk about it.

It means nothing.

Well, now, Jake Tapper might not mean -- let me leave you with a better example. I really like Andy McCarthy.

I really like him.

I read his work.

STU: It's great.

GLENN: I believe -- I believe his opinion is valid. I don't think it's right.

But I think it's valid.

And I read his work. And I thought, okay.

Wait a minute. If Andy McCarthy is saying this. I really need to examine what he's saying. And see where I disagree with him.

And as I went in, I was prepared to change my mind, if I thought Andy was right.

Now, he might in the end, be right.

But I don't think so.

Because what he is saying is, a lot of this stuff is old news.

Yes, Andy, it is. But it's now a grand conspiracy. You have to look at the through-line.

You're not looking at the one-off events.

You're looking at two things.

One, it's now been verified at the highest sources in writing.

You have whistleblowers, at the time, writing saying, we can't do this.

We didn't have that information. You have on record now, Brennan saying, you don't know what I know. Well, what did you know? We have new information.

What new information?

Because none of it is quoted anywhere.

And he's never answered the question.

What new information?

Most importantly, you have the grand conspiracy line.

We are not going to save the country, unless we do our own homework. Then listen to people and say, let me start at the opposite ends. Let me start with Glenn Beck and CNN.

And let me see what both of them are saying. Okay.

I think they both agree on this one thing. So I know that's true. But I think Glenn is more right. Or CNN is more right on this.

And then you just keep narrowing it in. And all it does is not form your opinion. It helps verify for you what you think is right.

Or it changes your opinion, because you realize, I missed that.

I didn't understand that. So when we're looking at all of this stuff needs to be transparent. We need to know all of the information.

Yes, we do.

But we also are played, every single day by many times, the exact same actors, who do not have a good bone in their body.

They're trying to destroy us. They're trying to separate us and divide us.

And they have proven themselves to lie at any level, without thinking about you or the ramifications.

And we continue to listen to them, over and over and over again.
