WARNING As Global Stock Markets Drop FAST

U.S. stock markets took a plunge Monday morning after a bad day on Friday. The Dow plummeted hundreds of points, Warren Buffett is selling stocks like crazy, and Japan's stock market recently had its worst day since 1987's Black Monday. So, are these signs of a coming recession? Financial expert Carol Roth joins Glenn to explain what's going on: Why are the stock markets crashing? What does Warren Buffett know that we don't? Are tech stocks like Apple and NVIDIA just going through a correction phase? Is the Federal Reserve to blame? And what can average Americans do to prepare?

GLENN: Friday, we had a bad jobs report. We're still not in a recession, indicators are showing that we are headed towards one.

But, you know, the indicators have been wrong before.

We are headed towards one. We are headed towards a depression at some point. I just don't know when.

And we're headed for a massive, global collapse. Again, I just don't know when.

Nobody does. That's why I ask you, please, be prepared.

And please take my -- look, I'm not an expert in anything.

Nothing. I'm -- I'm a former DJ, that is a recovering alcoholic, and I'm a self-educated man. So take everything that you -- that I say, with a grain of salt.

I want, I need you to do your own homework.

I hope -- honestly, this hasn't happened yesterday yet. I hope that you do your homework. And you think, wait a minute.

Glenn, you're missing this. And you show that I'm wrong. Because I want to be wrong. But it is coming.

And we are in the birth pangs of the future. We are giving birth right now, to the future.

A baby is coming out. And I don't think -- I don't think we're going to like it.

I think it's one of those babies that comes out like, hey. Mom and dad.

You know, and guarded by Rottweilers. But we're -- we're approaching something.

And our Dow is down almost 1200 points in futures. The reason why this is so important, is because it's not alone. Friday, bad jobs numbers. We were down 611 points.

That's a pretty big at all. This morning, before we even open up. We're down almost 1200 points.

You know, that's almost 2,000 points, in two days.

But in Japan, stocks were wiped out. This happened while you were asleep.

The Nikkei 225 is falling 12 and a half percent. That is the biggest single day decline since Black Monday's collapse of 19 -- what?

'89 or '87, I think it was.

Also, if you read any financial news over the weekend. You saw that Warren Buffett is selling like everything.

He is having the biggest fire sale he's ever had. He's never sold stocks, dumped stocks like he's dumping them right now. That's what happened to Apple a couple of weeks ago. He said, yeah. I don't really feel comfortable with Apple. I'm going to sell. But what we didn't know, until he had to file was, he's selling everything.

And holding on to just the crème de la crème.

What does Warren Buffet know, that we don't know?

Nothing. The difference between Warren Buffet and you and me, is he trusts his gut.

He trusts what he reads. And he doesn't wait, for other people, to verify. His team verifies. And he trusts his team.

I just -- the words of my grandfather keep ringing in my head. If we only knew what the rich people knew, before the Great Depression, we would have been fine. Well, what are the rich people doing?

Also, China found out this weekend, they are buying -- I think it was 50 tons of gold, more, than they said they did.

They said they stopped buying gold. Now some sleuths have gone out and looked. Because something wasn't right. And all this gold was being shipped over to China.

And they realized, my gosh, China is still buying. They're telling people they're not, to try to keep the price down.

So what are the rich people doing?

What are the people in the know doing?

The VIX, which is the volatility, something that is really important if you watch stocks. But it's just important for you to know. And this is just off the top of my head. In 2008, the VIX, the index of volatility. How volatility are things right now? Was at I think 47. In 2008.

In COVID, it was like 56. And it's currently on a scale of one to 100, 65.

So that is an alarm bell that people watch, and say, what kind of -- what's the weather forecast?

What's the VIX say? Are we headed towards really choppy seas?

Yeah. More according to the VIX. According to them, more than 2008 or COVID.

Intel just announced they're cutting 15,000 jobs or 15 percent of its workforce.

Now, let me go and witch topics, to England. What you're seeing in England, is a -- a looksy into the things that are to come here in America. What's been happening in England? Well, for a long time, this is why Brexit happened. And, by the way, I don't think you're going to hear this analysis with -- with other people.

So take it for what it's worth. But as I read it, Brexit happened in a way we can relate to. Brexit happened because people were tired of being told by bureaucrats that they never elected, what they had to do. How they were going to live their life. And those same bureaucrats said, you know what, it's not that cool to be British. I mean, you have a really bad past, Great Britain, and so I wouldn't be so -- I wouldn't be so proud.

In fact, don't fly your flag. You should fly the European flag.

Okay. People didn't like that.

They want to have their own control.

Then, on top of that, you had wild, unfettered immigration.

Do either of these sound familiar to you? So they had wild unfettered immigration.

At the same time, they built on top of a house of cards, where they said they were taking Islamic terrorism seriously. But then they opened the borders. And the police never took them seriously. It was never taken seriously.

You could chop a guy's head off, in the streets of England. And what would people say?

Well, your officials would say, we've got it under control. It was just a misunderstanding. It didn't have anything to do with anything.

There's nothing to see here. Go back to your homes. Nothing to worry about.

Kids were being kidnapped by Islamic rings. And they were being sexually abused. And the police denied it. Denied it. Continued it.

Then when it couldn't be denied anymore, they did a little bit, very little bit. But then everybody in the neighborhood that was standing up, they were deemed the bad guy. So this is the Bubba Effect.

Three girls in a dance class. Just cute, cute little girls in a dance class, 17-year-old kid comes in, and stabs the three girls.

Now, he has a Somalian name. So everybody just assumed he was an immigrant. He's not an immigrant. Bubba Effect. Bubba Effect.

Remember what that was? I told you that in 2000 -- I don't know -- 4, I was talking to Special Forces. And I said, what is the thing that you're most concerned about? And they said the Bubba Effect. What is that?

When the government has lost all of its credibility. And, for instance, they say, we're serious about terror.

And they're not. And people keep pointing it out. And the government doesn't respond.

And then something bad happens. And Bubba, not really knowing anything about world religions or whatever. Will walk into a convenience store. And he will shoot a Sikh because he's got a turban, and he doesn't know.

He'll shoot a Sikh. And it's you people.

And everybody will know, that's wrong. But when the federal government believes in, the people will stand up and say, hey. We'll deal with Bubba. We know he was wrong. But he was acting because you refused to act. You are the -- the problem.

That's what's happened here. They were wrong.

And then on top of that, you have inside and outside, nefarious forces.

You have people who are white skinhead Nazis. You have people who are Islamists. You have people who are just power hungry.

You have people who just want to see the world burn.

And they're all on social media. And what is the government doing?

The government is blaming everything on the right. And social media.

Which will only make things worse. Because the forgotten man, is not a neo-Nazi.

The forgotten man is just the guy who just loves his country. Has gone to work every day.

Seems to be forgotten. Seems to be left behind.

Nobody ever seems to talk about him.

Unless it's to blame him for something that he had nothing to do with.

And, of course, everybody's lining up. To quash, freedom of speech.

They don't have it, like we have it here in America.

They already have speech laws. They're now talking about shutting everybody up.

That won't make things better. It will make things worse.

A Civil War in Great Britain, in a few minutes we'll tell you exactly what is also happening, in Israel, with Iran. And how Russia is now helping Anna Ann enemy of the United States.

GLENN: For anybody old enough to remember, I believe Stu has become Johnnie Carson. He's never working. He seems to always be on vacation.

And always sitting in for him, is Mr. Pat Gray as usual. Hello, Pat.

PAT: I guess somebody cares about the show, right?

GLENN: Yeah. If it's just really you. Just you and me. You and me.

Thanks for coming in again. This is double duty for you. So how are you feeling?

You just finished your show.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Oh, I feel great.

I think things are going perfectly. Don't you?

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about.

GLENN: Yeah. I was in LA this weekend.

Unfortunately, this is my time in California. In I don't know how many years. Oh, man.

I don't like it. Anyway, I was in LA this weekend, doing some business.

And I didn't walk away, with a good feeling.

Now, it is California. But there are so many people that are just convinced that Kamala solves the problem.

They don't -- they won't even look at how radical she is.

PAT: Hmm.

GLENN: If she becomes our president, we are in deep, deep socialist trouble. You think the economy is bad now. This is like putting Chavez or Maduro in. She is as left as that. And everybody is -- at least in California, that I talked to, they're still just enamored with anybody, but Donald Trump. It's like, no, guys, voting for the enemy of the person and just blindly doing it is a very bad job. You must examine their record as well.

PAT: Uh-huh and people forget in 2019, she was the most liberal. The most progressive senator in the United States of America. Beyond Bernie Sanders. Beyond Elizabeth Warren.

She's the worst possible choice for president.

GLENN: Yep. Yep.

PAT: Worst possible.

GLENN: And the Democrats knew that.

PAT: Yeah. They did.

GLENN: I mean, that's why had to be voted for her. Nobody voted for her.

PAT: Right.

GLENN: And I'm growing more and more convinced this was a brilliant move by the Democrats, by the radical left in the Democratic Party. They got her to be vice president, because there's no way America would ever vote for her. So she could become the vice president. And at this point -- because Donald Trump is so unpopular, with the left, she's only a point and a point and a half behind him.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: That's insanity.

PAT: She's actually leading quite a few polls.

You know, despite her radicalism.

This is a person for abortion on demand.

GLENN: Because nobody is looking at it.

PAT: The border disaster that she's overseen.

She wants to ban fracking and offshore drilling.

She claims she didn't want to ban fracking, but she was all about it just four years ago. She wanted to ban the filibuster.

GLENN: She also wasn't just for the filibuster. But for the Supreme Court.

She's also for a guaranteed jobs program.

PAT: Right.

GLENN: That's the Soviet Union.

PAT: So bad.

GLENN: You can't get any more left than that.

It's really, really not good.

Nationalized health care. She wants the government to take it over.

Now, she said recently. But in 2020, when she was running, and this is who she is. This is what she believes.

PAT: Right.

GLENN: She's moderating because she has to now.

But this is what she believes. Government needs a wholesale takeover of medicine.

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I have to tell you, I really wish I could put you in my head space right now. It's almost like there's a hedge of protection, on my head space right now. Because it's -- the news that is coming you out is really, really dark, and we're getting closer to something.

And we're going to like it. The Dow is way down. Japan was almost wiped out. Twelve and a half percent.

They had to close the trading floor for a while in Japan. And that is happening in Europe, and now coming here, we had bad job numbers. Lots of layoffs. Intel laid off this morning, 15,000 jobs.

Looks like Chevron is moving to Texas from California. They just can't take California anymore.
And there's riots on the streets of the UK. And I want to get back to this story a little later in the program. But it is -- it's rage bait that is going on. And it -- people are now saying, Elon Musk said this weekend, that civil war is inevitable in the UK. But we also have some news.

Today, it looks like Iran is planning on attacking Israel. They announced this over the weekend.

Speculation was, that it would happen sometime today.

Remember, it's -- it's late in the afternoon.

In the Middle East now, on Monday.

And so, you know, usually if things happen, they happen by the time this show is over. It's usually started.

So we're watching that closely. Jason Buttrill is with us.

He is our chief researcher.

Also, head of watching over all global affairs.

On the program. When it comes to war. He is a former military intelligence.

And is here, to tell us, exactly what we're expecting.

Let's start with Iran, Jason.

JASON: Hey, Glenn, how are you doing? I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened yet. We were getting word that it was supposed to kick off sometime over the weekend. I think the biggest takeaway here, is there will be a response. Pretty much everyone expects it. It sounds like the Israeli military intelligence is expecting it, very imminently. There's a carrier battle group that's on its way from the US to the region, to support, if anything should kick off.

We know something is going to kick off. The question now is just how badly it's going to. And this is only the beginning stages of this larger regional war. And I'm going to say this.

I do believe, this is going to be a regional war, with multiple people. Countries involved. And it's going to mirror their regional war that's already going on in eastern Europe.

And that sounds interesting. Regional war is breaking out everywhere, and we're expected to respond to every single one of them. How is that going to happen?

GLENN: Okay. So the Mediterranean is the sixth fleet, right?

JASON: That sounds correct. I don't remember.

GLENN: I think it's the sixth fleet. You know, I'm sorry if I'm mistaken.

What I want to know, is this carrier group that's going on out, in addition to what we usually send in the sixth fleet, that's always there. Is this a replacement, or is this an addition? Because that's a huge addition.

JASON: I'm fairly positive, that this is an addition to what's going on out there.

GLENN: That's pretty significant, right? Carrier battle group.

JASON: It's especially significant, when you think of all the different theaters that we're guarding against right now.

And I got to tell you, Glenn. Looking at the state of our economy. Our adversaries. What they're trying to do with our economy. Organizations like BRICS. They also are the same people that are opposing us in Eastern Europe right now.

You've got, can I say it --

VOICE: And Israel.

JASON: And Israel. Can I say cascading protest movements that are going all the way through Europe and heading all the way to our own doorstep. Did I read that? Is that where it was?

GLENN: Yeah. That's where I think I got it, yeah. Sure.

And after it cascades, it comes to the United States, and all our enemies look at the West. And say, now, now, now.

And that's exactly what's happening. If you look at what's happening with the Middle East with the Houthis, those are funded by Iran. But now who has just been spotted on the ground and been -- been announcing that they are providing military advice, at least? That's Russia.

JASON: Yeah.

GLENN: Russia is now assisting the Houthis. So this is becoming a global war. Whether we like it or not.

It will.

JASON: Yeah. Everyone always analyzes this.

They say, oh, BRICS will never outdominate the dollar, you know, as the global reserve currency.

They'll never do it. They will never challenge the United States one-on-one. You know, the United States is too powerful. Agreed, one on one, but that's not what's being built here.

I have to tell you, when I was looking at all this information, all together, I kept thinking about the famous Paul Harvey monologue, you know, if I were the devil, what would I do to make change? And I'm not the devil. But I am saying that look at everything together, and connect all the dots. Who were the players that were involved in every single theater? Who were the ones? Who were the ones sowing discord, that is cascading all over the world?

Who were the ones?

Look at the places that haven't blown up yet, but are on the cusp of it. You look at Taiwan. You look at North Korea. That BRICS unit is involved in every single one of those. You cannot destroy the United States or defeat her one-on-one.

We are too powerful, but taken together, with all the different countries that they are building, by the way, and united all at the same time, what happens?

I don't know the answer to that. Because we've never been there. But we're going in that direction. And the people that are running this country, are driving us there in a Cadillac.

GLENN: I will tell you, the -- what happens, if it's World War II, America wins.

Because World War II, America was united.

JASON: Hmm.

GLENN: And we all came together, to fight against evil. That will not happen this time.

We are too divided, and the government has made so many mistakes. I'm really very concerned about England. Because England is the Bubba Effect. It's -- we don't even know the facts, and that's another problem.

But we don't even know the facts of what really happened, that started all of this stuff.

They haven't figured out this kid from last week. They still don't know, well, is he Muslim? Is he not Muslim?

You know, how is he -- we don't know any of that. But people are all assuming that this was a Muslim immigrant. It wasn't.

He was born in England. He's English. But the facts don't matter anymore. Because it appears as though the government is lying to the people in Great Britain. And so they've had enough.

And then you have outside forces, dare I say it, like Russia, again.

And the influence of those we have spoken about, many times on this program.

That want the West to collapse. And are sewing this -- this really demonic seed in not only England and France and all of Europe. But here in America, as well.

Unless we get transparency, we're -- we're -- we're in trouble. Unless somebody stands up and says, you know what, I'm going to open up all the books on this.

The -- the arguments that I'm hearing now, that Kamala is just so great. When this whole thing has been un-Democratic from the beginning. And nobody is really looking at her record. And everybody is saying, you know, well, Donald Trump, he's a bad guy. Where? On what?

On what?

I said to somebody, this weekend. You know, this has been the -- this is the one time, that you can look at a politician.

And I think they're all dirty. But I lived in New York City.

Pat, you remember this. We used to drive by the Trump apartments or hotels on the east side how.

And he was building like five of them, and including, you know, digging under the highway.

And he built five in the same time the city took to build one small building, right across the street from them.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And I would have said to you, six years ago, eight years ago, the guy is dirty as hell. He's got to be. Because you can't -- how is it he can get the unions to do everything he wants them to do? How is it he can build five buildings to every one that everybody else builds?

Well, I don't know. But he's the most investigated man, I don't know. In human history. And they've never found anything like that. And nobody will listen. Nobody will listen to that. Nobody will listen and say, they've just been trained, Trump bad. And if you're comparing, you know, anyone to Hitler, I mean, Charles Manson could look good.

Well, he only killed a few. Yeah, and he's got the Nazi swastika carved into his forehead. But he's not telling everybody to hang banners off of every building. You know, hello.

So they give you the worst possible look at somebody, and somebody who actually loves America.

And -- and here we stand, with everything in open flame. Jason, what are you expecting to happen today either in England?

Or -- do you agree with Elon Musk? That he says Civil War is inevitable in England?

JASON: Well, I mean, you've got to think -- what's happening in England, I feel like, can be copied in multiple western countries. Because the big behavior is the same. You talk about the non-transparency. Let's just talk about that for a second. And how this fuels this. If you look at any major mainstream outlet, over Europe and here, all you see is the same headline. Far right protests. Or rioters.

You know, truth -- based off of misinformation.

GLENN: Yeah. Misinformation. Disinformation or malinformation from social media.

JASON: Right. And then they won't even talk about the person that did this attack. They'll say, well, it wasn't an immigrant. Well, we know his parents are from Rwanda, we know that. Were they illegal? Do they talk about that at all, because I guarantee you that the people out there protesting in the street, the point is exactly the same.

Like, this is a crisis of the government's creation.

GLENN: But I think you are -- I think you are giving too much credit to -- look, they can completely wrong. These people were from Rwanda. Maybe they came here legally. And they've been great citizens. And their kid is a great citizen.

It has nothing to do with them, or the kid.

This is -- this is the frustration, of the English people saying, my government is not listening to us. That's the Bubba Effect.

We know he's wrong on that. We know.

But that's not the issue. The issue is, you've been lying to us. For too long.

So we'll take care of Bubba. You back off. That's the Bubba Effect, and I think that's what's happening.

Okay.
The worst-case scenario in Iran. They say this one is -- this attack is going to be expected and unlike anything the world has seen. They say, it's a new something.

I don't remember exactly how they said it. But it reminded me of one thing.

I would like to get your opinion. What do you think is coming?

JASON: I think that a similar attack involving a massive amount of drones and rockets is probable.

I think the addition of non-traditional warfare, armaments like those EMP, Electromagnetic pulse type weapons, I know can be launched from artillery or drones or rockets, as well. To knock out --

GLENN: You know they have that?

JASON: Well, I mean, we don't know for a fact. But Hezbollah has claimed they have gotten them. That wouldn't surprise me at all. Those weapons have been around since probably the '80s.

So we know they're out there. They're just rarely used. I think we used them in Kosovo. We've used them a few times. But think about Israel's ability to respond to a massive wave, coming from the Houthis, coming from Hezbollah.

Hamas. Iran, you know, herself.

And then with all of their electronic superiority knocked out. Yeah, we're looking at a much different battlefield, sure.

GLENN: I will tell you, I think -- I was thinking about this, this weekend.

That, I think we're in the same place we were at the end of World War I, and the end of World War II. New things are being -- or at the beginning of World War II.

New things are being invented, horses, instead of tanks.

Or tanks instead of horses.

Airplanes. It changed the battlefield.

And I really feel like our big, huge aircraft carriers, and everything else.

I think those things are a thing of the past, in warfare. I think we could be overwhelmed quickly.

And I think China, for one, knows that.

GLENN: Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We are going to talk about what is happening in the stock market today. We are on the edge of a very, very big abyss, and I hope we don't fall into it at this moment.

But some things are happening. And you need to be very well aware of them. And we need to go there, with Carol Roth in just about 60 seconds.

Speaking of the economy, it's just -- it's crimes of mismanagement, at this point.

It's impossible to keep track of everything they're doing, that is just absolutely suicidal.

But you can the raw draw a chalk outline around the US that are. And set up the police tape. There's been a murder here. Maybe after this next election.

Things are K start to get better. Nobody hopes that will get better more than you and I do. But you cannot count on that.

We are in a cycle where weak men have created hard times, and it remains to be seen, if we can pull out of this nose dive and become strong men.

All right. Carol Roth, welcome to the program.

CAROL: Glenn, you have to promise me, that one day, you will bring me on to talk about good news.

We'll talk about ice cream. We'll talk about puppy dogs. I feel like your audience, every time they see me, they're like, oh, no. Carol Roth is back again.

GLENN: I know. Carol, I was just thinking the same thing. We never talk when it's good times.

The stock market now. There's -- I have lots of questions, can you just give me the update on what's happened around the world, and then with the opening bell with the stock market?

CAROL: So last week, obviously, we saw some selling off in the stock market. It started with a repricing of the, quote, unquote, Magnificent Seven tech stocks that had been driving up the market. Taking everything else with them.

And, you know, there's -- I think there was an awakening that, oh, in order for AI to be a thesis, companies will actually have to spend a lot. And then that started kind of things.

A few weeks ago, kind of moving. Then in the middle of last week. We had the Fed, who did not -- excuse me, did not lower rates. But did signal, that that could be on the table for September.

And, you know, normally, you would say, okay. The market, wants the Fed to cut rates. What happened, then we got in weak job report. On Friday.

And while sometimes, the bad news can be good news for the market. In this case, they could take it for bad news. That potentially the Fed was behind the curve in terms of lowering rates. And then they felt like maybe this whole idea of a, quote, unquote, soft landing. The idea that you could get the economy as opposed to inflation down without wrecking the economy is off the table.

Then while all of this is going on. You have the Bank of Japan last week. That decided to do the opposite of the Fed.

They have been in 17 years of basically negative or zero interest rates. So they're amortization is going in the other direction. They are trying to raise rates. The first time in 17 years. About four months ago. And then they decided, because the yen, you know -- the yen against the dollar. They needed to fix that. That they were going to go ahead and raise their rates. And fortunately, they did not thread the needle perfectly on that, and that created implications for their markets.

So when Japan opened, you know, last night, our time -- their time in the morning, they saw this massive, massive sell-off. And what happens sometimes, when you get these massive sell-offs are these unwinding of trades. Because they have had zero to negative interest rates. You get a lot of people borrowing.

Those people who borrow, make bets on the yen, and on stocks.

Both in Japan, and in the US. And then they get the margin calls. And then they end up having to sell. And that begets more margin calls.

So you saw the Japanese Nikkei go down 12 and a half percent, in one day. It was their single worst day since 1987. That Black Monday day.

So now, as, you know, the market has opened here in the United States. You know, there's anticipation of, you know, do we get -- how much blowback do we get?

Especially since we had seen some weakness last week.

And obviously, things will shift during the trading day. As we talk here.

So this is kind of realtime. The market opened up, down, pretty significantly. Depending on the index. Somewhere between three and 5 percent.

And we have seen that come off a little bit, as we're talking realtime.

I think that has -- if there's any silver lining here. It's that night it opened. And it continued to fall. And continued to fall.

There was a little bit of support there. But still, as we're talking. We're still seeing the Dow, down almost 3 percent.

The NASDAQ, down almost 4 percent. So it's definitely an ugly day across the market.

GLENN: So how much of this has to do with technology. NVIDIA, which was the darling, just I don't know. A month ago. Everybody was like, you got to have NVIDIA. And maybe that's greed talking. And maybe that's why you shouldn't buy NVIDIA when everyone is saying that happen. But they're down almost 10 percent today. That's down 23 percent from their high, I think like a month ago. Artificial intelligence stocks are down. Tesla is down. Super micro computer down 9 percent.

They're -- is this just everybody down, and why are the tech stocks down?

Were they just too high? Do you know?

CAROL: Yeah.

So this is a bit of repricing in tech. And let's put this in perspective.

So the NASDAQ, which is very tech-heavy. Sort of a good proxy for what's going on, in the tech market.

The 52-week range, the low point, within the last year of where the NASDAQ has been, was 12,544. We're still today, at over 16,000.

So over the last 52 weeks, we still have these massive gains, and it got as high as 18,671.
And I think that's part of the catalyst here.

I mean, these prices, this, quote, unquote, bubble was not sustainable, a lot of people were talking about that.

And the fact that, you know, we see this over-exuberance in tech all the time. You know, first it was web three and the Internet of Things. And the metaverse, and now it's AI.

And all of those DCs have eventually come back down to reality. I'm not sure we're in reality yet. But, you know, as you have companies talking about their earnings, and talking about the spend.

I think there was just this insanity amongst investors. That they felt like AI was just going to take off. Without looking at the cost side.

And as companies are talking about, here's how much capital we will have to deploy, in order for this AI thesis to really work out. I think the market went, oh, okay. Maybe we're not pricing this correctly.

So I think that's part of it. Another catalyst that we've seen. Warren Buffet, noted that he had lessened his position in Apple by about 49 percent.

And obviously, that is --

GLENN: Yeah. That's not lessening. That's not lessening.

That's cutting it in half. That's significant.

CAROL: Cutting it in half.

GLENN: And he's doing this with a lot of his holdings. If I understand right.

He's making some of the biggest sales, he's ever made.

It's almost as if he's becoming bullish on America.

And is -- what does he know that we don't know again?

CAROL: This is a good question. And it's funny, we're having this discussion today.

If you go through his shareholder letter. His other -- one of his other big bets. That he talks about in the shareholder letter. Started in 2019. He doubled down in Japan. He has five really big companies. And really big positions in Japan. So the day that we're talking about Japan going down. And at the same time, the US is going down.

Obviously, Warren Buffet wasn't a catalyst for both of those things. He's still -- as far as we know, still bullish on the Japanese train. But it is interesting.

He has this massive cash pile, I mean, $276 billion, I think it is. Which is just almost impossible, to deploy.

I mean, to think about how, you know, as an investor, you even think about putting that to work and getting the appropriate returns.

So I don't know -- there could be several catalysts.

This is all very much speculation. Because we have not heard from Warren at this point.

I don't know if this is a signal. Where he felt like, hey.

Tech is just getting, you know, so froth peep this is a really good time for me to take profits.

Maybe a little bit of taking profits, ahead of the election.

Worry about an increase in capital gains, perhaps.

Under a potential new administration.

Although, I don't think he would have sold, you know, half of the position, because of that. But one never knows.

And, yeah. Just repositioning his portfolio. But certainly, given the fact that he's lauded as the best investor of all time.

When he does things, people have concern. And the fact that whether it's Bank of America. Or it's Apple. Or some of his other positions, you know, add the fact that he is going to cash -- certainly, I would imagine, on the retail side. And probably on the institutional side, to some extent, has an impact in terms of people's behavior.

Are Hamas and Palestine in the Book of Revelation?!

Is Hamas mentioned in the Bible? Does the Palestinian flag have a connection to a prophecy in the Book of Revelation? Glenn Beck speaks with filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza about his new film, “The Dragon’s Prophecy,” based on the book by Jonathan Cahn, that discusses these “coincidences.”

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Dinesh, welcome to the program, how are you?

DINESH: Glenn, it's a great pleasure. Thanks for having me.

GLENN: Oh, you're welcome. I watched your film last week, and I've got to tell you, it's -- it's frightening, and really powerful.

DINESH: Well, we begin, Glenn, as you know with putting you on a motorcycle with a GoPro, and you ride with Hamas into the Kibbutz. Hamas took this footage. Remarkably, not a lot of people have seen it. The Israel government, I think was reluctant to show it, except to a handful of journalists.

But it opens my film, and it has a bit of a graphic warning. But it's ten minutes of putting you right on the scene of October 7th, 2 years ago, and the film kind of takes off from there, to give you the widest significance that engages politics, but history, archaeology. And even as you mentioned, a hint of Biblical prophecy, so that the political is wedded into the moral of the spiritual.

GLENN: So let me play a trailer here from the movie. Here it is.

VOICE: So who are the Jews? Who are the Palestinians? Whose land is it really? Could the fate of the world, of humanity itself, be somehow tied to this place?

VOICE: The nation of Israel is a resurrected nation. So what if there was going to be a resurrection of another people, an enemy people of Israel? The Bible speaks about this whole war as a dragon, representing the enemy, attacking a woman, representing Israel.

VOICE: Civilian deaths on both sides represent victories on the part of the dragon.

VOICE: Hamas burned everything within their ability to maximize the civilian casualty.

VOICE: Came back to a land that was largely barren, and we brought it back alive, and we are going to keep it!

VOICE: The devil hates the Jewish people because they represent the existence of God!

VOICE: Because without that Jewish foundation, there is no Christianity.

GLENN: So let us -- go to the Dragons Prophecy here for a second. What is the case of the Dragons Prophecy?

DINESH: Glenn, in the Book of Revelation 12, there is a depiction of a dragon representing the devil, going to war against a woman, representing Israel. And the woman is pregnant, representing the Messiah. So this is the sort of spiritual backdrop. It's a confirmation of what people sometimes say, that underneath our political fight, there is a spiritual war. But people don't often ask, who is fighting? Like who are the combatants?

And the answer is, this is a war that has been raging between sort of God and the devil from the very beginning of time. And the provocative idea in the film is that the devil cannot overthrow God, and so the -- the devil tries to find out, what is it that God cares about? Let me ruin that!

So in Genesis 1, for example, why does the serpent target Adam and Eve? Adam and Eve have nothing to the devil, but the devil goes, "I want to ruin them, because this is God's cherished creation. If I can ruin them, I can get my revenge against God."

And I think for the same reason, the devil targets the Jews and the Christians. The Jews, because they are the original chosen people. And so the devil's agenda is really simple: Drive them out of their ancestral homeland from the river to the sea. And also, put a big Islamic victory arch right on top of their holiest sight, which is the site of the Solomonic Temple.

And then, of course, the Christians are, the Bible itself, refers to Christians as like spiritual Israelites. And so the Devil is like, I hate that too. I will persecute and harass and destroy the Christians no less than the Jews."

And, look, this is not just sort of idle Biblical speculation. You can see this happening right in front of us in the world today.

GLENN: Talk to me about the meaning of the word Hamas, Palestinians, where that came from. Can you take us through that a little bit?

DINESH: Yeah, this is the genius of Jonathan Khan and his book, The Dragon Prophesy. He points out that Hamas in Arabic means something like force or strength, but in Hebrew, interestingly, the -- the word means violence and destruction. And if you -- in Hebrew, it literally says things like, "Lord, save me from the men of Hamas, or Hamas dwells in the dark places of the earth."

GLENN: I had to go to my Bible to look it up.

It does say that. It does say that. It's crazy!

DINESH: Yes. Not only that, Glenn. But the four colors of the apocalypse, mentioned in the Book of Revelation, which reflects famine, death, and destruction. The white horse, the black horse, the green horse, the red horse.

Han points out. He goes, just take a look at the Palestinian flag. It's made up of four colors. Basically, white for the white horse. Red for the red horse. Black for the black horse. Green for the green horse. And all of this, I think, within -- if there's a single connection, you can be like, "Hmm. I don't know."

But there are so many of these connections out in the film.

GLENN: So many.

DINESH: That, ultimately, it's almost like, you have to sort of -- you have to step back and reconsider if you are even understanding what's happening in front of you, in the widest and sort of deepest possible light.

GLENN: I have to tell you, I don't know about, you know -- I haven't studied this, you know, enough. I just watched the movie once.

And it's worth watching. But you will go back to Scriptures, and you will look it up. It is worth pondering. Because it shows you, where we might be right now. And the battle that we're preparing for.

Which is a really terrifying thing. But I would rather know it, so I can be prepared for it.

You also -- you know, did a lot of archaeological stuff. What stood out to you in the research that you did?

DINESH: What stood out to me, Glenn, was that for 2000 years, and even more, there are figures that appear in the Bible, Pontius Pilate, Isaiah, Jeremiah. We're going for King David. We're talking now about three -- a thousand DC.

So 3,000 years ago. And even 30 or 40 years ago, if you said, prove to me that these figures are real. Prove to me, outside the Bible, using historical or archaeological evidence, you couldn't do it. Remarkably, just in the last few decades, there are conscriptions and stones and clay seals, coming out of the ground, that are showing that these Biblical figures are real, the Bible is an account of real people and true events. So you could dispute the theology of the Bible. You can question the miracle. But the historicity of the Bible is being resoundingly affirmed.

And it's almost as if the world has become more secular and pulled away from God, God is speaking back.

But not in the thunderous language of Genesis 1. You know, in the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. But rather, in the kind of prosaic language of science and archaeology.

GLENN: Yeah. It was really amazing. Because you don't think -- we live in our time. And so you don't think of the times that have come. David didn't exist.

You know, these stories are true. They didn't exist. And now we're finding all of the archaeological evidence, and we just -- at least I did. I just accepted, that, "Yeah. These -- the big things, we knew existed." No. No. We didn't. It's now just being proven now because of what we're finding in archaeological digs.

DINESH: Not only that, but for centuries, really for two centuries going back to the enlightenment, you have the armchair critics who would read the Bible and say, "Well, it looks to me, this was written several hundred years later."

But now we know that that can't be the case, because there are minor -- minor figures in the Bible. And, you know, the royal steward of King Josiah in, like, the 6th or 7th Century DC, and suddenly a seal comes out of the ground in Jerusalem and there's this name on the seal. Now, nobody 300 years later -- this is like asking for the names of interns who worked for Donald Trump. Hundreds of years from now. Who would possibly know their names and identities?

So this is why the Bible is being affirmed, even at the level of excruciating detail.

GLENN: The fact that everyone said that Pontius Pilate didn't exist. And the stair that has his name carved into it, 2000 years ago, that was discovered.

It's those things that you're like, "I mean, how do you deny some of this stuff now?"

I mean, it's just piling up.

DINESH: It's -- it's utterly impossible. And then we are in Jerusalem, and we go up to this place called Sheillo, in the middle part of Israel, and we find these remarkable red heifers. I've read the book about the red heifers. This has to do with the fact that in the end times, the dome of the rock will come down. The Jewish Temple -- the Solomonic Temple will be rebuilt, and some of the rabbis are actually preparing for temple services, which involve the ashes of a red heifer.

So all of this is not just interpretations. You have people in Jerusalem. And in Israel, actually preparing for this. In a practical way.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

In fact, one of the things that they said. Let me take a break. And have you come back and answer this. One of the things they said.

Because we were talking about the red rest offers two years ago.

And they were talking about maybe making, you know, red heifers into ashes to prepare.

And Hamas said, at the time, that's one of the reasons why they -- they went after on October 7th, was because of the red heifers. And you go into that. And what they really call October 7th.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Great Reset Elites are Planning a Post-Human Future | Whitney Webb | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 269

Global elites are still pushing forward with their Great Reset agenda to enslave the world and create a post-human future despite President Trump’s crushing of ESG and DEI, researcher and author Whitney Webb tells Glenn. In her long-awaited return to "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Whitney explores the intricate web of global elites, including the World Economic Forum’s downfall under Klaus Schwab and current state under Larry Fink as well as the rise of digital IDs and AI-driven governance like Albania’s “digital minister.” Whitney also discusses the tools she believes the Great Reset elites are building to control us, including the Biden-era ARPA-H program and possible surveillance tech tied to Palantir and the CIA. Further, Whitney ties the globalists’ agenda to the chaos happening in cities like Chicago and Portland and what Trump must be wary of when deploying the National Guard. Plus, as a leading expert in the financial crimes and corrupt connections of Jeffrey Epstein, Whitney weighs in on the debate over the “black book” and why the government still hasn’t released all the Epstein documents.

Teen athlete REFUSES to compete against adult male player

Frances Staudt is a high school athlete in Washington state who refused to play against a team with a trans player – clearly an adult man. She joins Glenn Beck to speak out: “In NO WAY am I feeling like I’m…‘safe and supported.’” She also joins to discuss the civil rights complaint filed on her behalf to the Department of Education.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I want to read something from Francis Stout. She posted -- she's 16 years old. She lives in Washington State. This evening, as a young female athlete in the United States of America. I was actively silenced for standing up for my own safety and belief.

During the Tumwater High School girl's basketball game on February 6, 2025, a biological male from Shelton High School, opposing team was brutalizing my teammates, using his biological -- his biological advantage, clearly and intentionally overpowering his competition.

I made the decision to sit out one of my very last basketball games of the season because I refuse now and forever to compete against any biological sport that I play.

I was incredibly distraught at the fact that nobody would step in on our behalf, including the staff, coaches, referees, and parents from both sides.

This is due to the sheer fact that in our society, we have been pushed to be silent. And bow down to the demands to accept what we know to be untrue.

When I became visibly upset and angry.

I was met with allegations of discrimination, as well as threats made by other players, and a grown man who was tasked with serving my school district.

The principal and athletic director who stood in front of parents, and the students claiming to care about our students' bodies, their beliefs, and feelings, but they certainly did not care about mine tonight. This is far from over.

It has a fueled a passion in me, to speak out and go against the wrongdoing that is still happening to female athletes in this great country.

Isn't it ironic that just yesterday, national girls in Women's Sports Day was the day that President Trump signed the no men in women's sports executive order. And here I am, the very next day, having to deal with such an injustice.

That has caused so much emotional distress in my life. I will never not stand up for myself, or my ability to speak out and protect my safety, as a female athlete. Sixteen years old from Tumwater, Washington. It's Francis Stout.

Hello, Francis.

FRANCIS: Hello. Thank you so much for having me on the show. It's not lost on me, the significance of speaking with you today.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh, thank you. So, Francis, you were -- you were not notified. Nobody was notified. You just go to this game. And you see somebody who you describe as obviously a male.

FRANCIS: Yes.

GLENN: Why do you say that? And tell me the intimidation tactics, or the brutalization tactics, if you will, that you felt he was doing.

FRANCIS: Well, I feel it is obvious from any stand, where he would have stood out on the court. He was warming up and stretching, looking around, dancing with the girls on his team.

It is obvious there's clear biological differences between girls and boys.

GLENN: Okay. Yeah.

FRANCIS: And you could see just by everything. And lots of -- there's a lot of just roughness on the court. And pushing girls down.

And nothing that a normal girl on my team or the other team, would have really been able to do.

Very harsh and just, it was a very clear difference.

GLENN: So you go and say, I will sit this game out. Or I can't play. Because I don't feel safe on the court. Is that correct?

FRANCIS: Yes, that's correct.

GLENN: What was the response at the time?

FRANCIS: At the time, people looked and, "oh, whatever." Just asked me, "Oh, are you sure you don't want to play? It's not that big of a deal." I got told by a lot of people, "It isn't that big of a deal, it doesn't matter. Nothing is going to happen, and you're just looking for attention."

GLENN: Jeez.

FRANCIS: Every sort of thing you could hear from people.

GLENN: Right.

FRANCIS: But it was only after I got upset after seeing him hurt girls on my team, and also take away from my ability to play because I feared for my own safety, that people really started having issues.

GLENN: Yeah. And what -- when you got upset, what happened?

FRANCIS: So I went and tried to talk to the principal of Tumwater, Zach Shuderman (phonetic), and I told him, "This is wrong. Why are you not protecting me and my rights to play, and my own sport? And why are you not putting a stop to this? It's clearly wrong. It is a violation of my own privacy and safety, that you have told every single person at that school, that you care about."

But you -- he did absolutely nothing to help me. He told me, "That it was discrimination against the boy -- and the man, actually, eighteen years old."

GLENN: That's what he said?

He said, "The man?"

FRANCIS: Yes. He said -- he said, "I'm not going to misgender, quote, unquote, this individual."

GLENN: Hmm. Okay.

He's also said, and maybe it's not the principal, maybe it's the superintendent, "As a district, we remain committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all students feel safe, supported, and valued."

Do you feel safe, supported, or valued?

FRANCIS: That is a very easy answer: Absolutely not.

There is -- in no way, am I feeling like I'm supported. I have had -- when I was 15 years old, the 18-year-old man was in my own locker room.

That is quite the opposite of safe and supported, that I should be able to feel.

There's a man -- or, boy in the girl's locker room right now at Tumwater High School that they're still doing nothing about, telling girls that they can go somewhere else to change, if they feel uncomfortable. They only care about a certain protected class, and it clearly is not the girls who just want their own privacy and safety.

GLENN: So now, a lawsuit has been lodged against you. The Foundation against Intolerance and Racism filed a civil rights complaint, to the Department of Education.

FRANCIS: Yes, on our behalf.

GLENN: On your behalf.

FRANCIS: It was filed.

GLENN: Thank God. I read that. How is that possible? On your behalf.

FRANCIS: However -- yeah, I was investigated, however, by the WIAA in the Tumwater School District for harassment and bullying for, quote, unquote, misgendering the man, saying that he was a man, who was apparently bullying and harassment. And that is what happened.

I -- but myself and my family was the one who filed the complaint.

GLENN: Well, I'm -- I'm glad. Because I was having a hard time understanding how our DOJ was -- was not standing up for your civil rights on this, especially since the president has made it very clear.

FRANCIS: Yes.

GLENN: Can you give me any update on where this stands, and where this is headed?

FRANCIS: So we're still waiting to hear back. We filed it a little bit ago. And still waiting for news. We have hope, that it will be in our favor. And I am very much looking to seeing where it can take us. And, yeah, I am hoping that it will be all good.

GLENN: Francis, I have to tell you, you give me an awful lot of hope.

FRANCIS: Thank you.

GLENN: I think we treat our children as little kids. You know, you hit 16 years old, back in the old days, back in the old days, I mean, older than me -- you know, our Founders were in their 20s and 30s, you know. Thomas Jefferson I think was 30.

They were expected to do more. And we just say, "Oh, your childhood. Your childhood?

Yeah, there is something about keeping childhood sacred, and keeping childhood as safe as possible. But you are a great example of what 16-year-olds should be like. You should know what your rights are, what your responsibilities are. Why you believe certain things that you do, if you're passionate about them. Obviously, you're passionate about this.

And make the case. You give me an awful lot of hope, Francis.

FRANCIS: I very much appreciate that. While I can not tell you how much I -- as I mentioned in my speech last Saturday, this is the Turning Point of America, and I was an incredible fan of Charlie Kirk. I think he was an amazing man, and I think he's given me a voice to speak out.

And given me courage. And I think that it's important, although we're young, to speak up for what we believe in.

It's important I have those values. And still by my family as well. And my parents.

And I think it's very important, he did not die in vain. I think that we need to make our country proud, and we are going to be the future of America. And we need to start acting like that. And we need to speak up for what we believe in, and what is right. And know good and evil.

GLENN: Do you have any friends in Washington state. Because I grew up in Washington State.

I know what it's like. Your family. Is it just you guys? Are you just alone in Washington State?

Because you're amazing. But it --

FRANCIS: Thank you.

GLENN: But it must not be very popular to be you and your family in Washington State.

FRANCIS: Well, no. You see all around, there's people who disagree.

But we have a close group. It really shows you, who your close friends are. And who is there for you.

But it is definitely not the majority in Washington State, of what me and my family believe in.

But this isn't over. And I think that we can make a change. And I think people need to have their eyes opened. And realize, that there's clearly something wrong. And I think people can be very oblivious to the fact of that.

But there's -- it is a pretty small majority, especially in Washington State, as you can probably --

GLENN: Oh, yeah, I know it quite well.

The -- do you have any friends that disagree with you, that are still standing with you as a friend?

FRANCIS: I don't really have many friends who have told me, they disagree. I've been called a lot of names. I've lost a lot of friends over it.

But I don't have many friends who disagree with.

I think it's really sad, because they've been told by so many people, that they are right. And people who disagree with them, are automatically horrible people.

And especially telling people that, oh, this isn't happening. Kids are believing him, and parents are believing him.

And so they think that I'm just wrong and looking for attention. And I've been called for -- just the other day. I got called a transphobe in the hallway by this kid that I used to be friends with. And said hi to every day.

And I walked by. And got yelled at. And it's sad. It really is.

GLENN: Yeah. You sound smart enough to know, there are easier ways to get attention.

Right?

FRANCIS: Exactly. Yes.

GLENN: Thank you so much for everything you're doing.

Please keep me informed.

Keep us up-to-date. We want to follow the story.

If there's anywhere we can help. Just know you're not alone. And it will be people like you, that will be remembered some day.

It's the people who did the things they didn't necessarily want to do, that didn't make them possible. In fact, made them a target. You, but they had -- they had the faith in go bigger than themselves, they knew they had a responsibility. And they stood.

Those are the kinds of people that actually make it into the history books. Not the one that walked through the crowd, as you were walking the lie, who said, you're a transphobe.

That person is never going to be remembered in history. You will be. So thank you. Keep it up.

FRANCIS: We truly appreciate that. And it means more than you know. From the bottom of our heart. I appreciate this opportunity, in speaking to you. And I will not forget what you said. That means a lot.

GLENN: Thanks a lot, Francis. God bless you.

There is a GRAVE DANGER brewing in America...

There is a grave danger brewing in America, Glenn Beck warns, and it revolves around the Israel/Hamas debate. So, he sets the record straight on where he stands and why he believes the survival of Western civilization is on the line: "The enemy that Israel is currently facing today will be the enemy that the free world will face tomorrow."

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I want you to really hear me carefully.

There is a grave, the brave danger that is building.

And I want to talk toy about it. I saw it last night, with my own eyes. In a very small number.

I want to make this really clear. Very small number of students. I saw it last night. And I want to talk to you about it. But, first, let me set it up with this. So Christopher Rufo wrote: On the right, many supporters of Israel -- I think that would be you and me. Many supporters of Israel -- because I'm a supporter -- including prominent Republican politicians argue that America has a theological duty to support the Jewish state. Now, I think personally for me, I feel that's true. But what does that mean, exactly? I'll get into it, in a minute. Their view is based on a complex interpretation of Bible prophecy. As a Catholic, I find it mystifying. As a political analyst, I find it unconvincing. Analyst, sorry.

The other supporters would like to shut down critical analysis of the war altogether. Equating criticism of Israel, with anti-Semitism and suggesting those who question the wisdom of America's support should be welcome in polite society. I want you to know, at the outset, absolutely wrong.

Because you disagree with Israel, does not make you an anti-Semite. It doesn't. It doesn't.

It makes you a thinking human being, honestly. These moves might have been effective in the past, but not so much anymore.

Instead of theological or shame-based approaches, friends of Israel must frame their arguments in terms of national interest.

One hundred percent right! One hundred percent right!

We need to understand our national interests. So hear me out on this: So you know, I have received the defender of Israel award from Benjamin Netanyahu years ago. I was just named by the Jerusalem post as the number one Christian supporter of Israel in America.

So I'm kind of known as -- I guess as a Zionist. Okay?

I believe that Israel has a right to exist, and the Jewish people have a right to live. Somehow or another, you get awards for saying that.

But I want you to understand something. My support is not blind loyalty, nor is it anything that is -- makes me Israel first.

It doesn't. God first, America second. Israel is in the pile of everything else. Okay?

My first citizenship, is to the kingdom of Christ. My second citizenship, is to America. I will do nothing that will violate my citizenship, my passport to the kingdom of God.

And I certainly won't violate things for my first citizenship, to save my second citizenship. But that's the rank of my citizenship. God first, America, right behind it. And the earthly sense, America first, okay?

No loyalty to the government of Israel. In fact, there's many things I don't like about the government of Israel. But you know what, I'm not a citizen. I don't vote. And I don't have to worry about their laws.

When it comes to war, I want nothing to do with that foreign war. Or, quite honestly, almost any foreign war. Pragmatism I'm tired of paying for it. I'm tired of our blood being shed. I want nothing to do. That's not my support of Israel or the Jewish people. It -- what is required when we talk about these things, is Israel's -- Israel's existence is not just about their national survival. It is about the survival of Western civilization itself.

It is the only -- lone beacon in the Middle East, that is standing against radical Islam. They're the only ones. They're the number one target of radical Islam.

Now, look at what's happening in the Middle East right now. Those countries that we used to think of as having real radical ties, now Saudi Arabia, they're actually saying, you know what, we can actually co-exist.

That's what's necessary. Coexistence in the Middle East. As long as we have a reason -- as long as we believe we each have a reason to live, and we have a right to live, we can solve any problem. We can solve any problem.

They are facing Islamist evil. And that evil is the same evil that wishes to dismantle our civilization and our country! And it's happening in our own country. My support is not rooted in politics. It is rooted in something simpler and older than politics. A people's moral and historic right to their homeland and to their right to live in peace. That's it. And I would say that to anybody. If the Gazans wanted their own land and say, because this is a two-state solution. That's been offered to them, over and over and over again.

But it wasn't river to the sea. Which is the definition of wipeout all of the Jews. No Jews in this land. Okay?

You want to share? I'm totally fine with that. But I can't -- I couldn't. We wouldn't put up with a neighbor who is constantly saying and trying to kill you.

So when it comes to politics. I believe Israel has a right to defense herself against those who openly, repeatedly vow her destruction. But I'm not going to fight that.

I don't agree with everything that Israel has done. But what difference does that make? Because I'm not making for our dollars or our blood to be spent. I just say, "Everybody has a right to live."

But let me make it personal, if -- if somebody told me, over and over and over and over again, that they wanted to kill me and my entire family, that I didn't have a right to exist. That I was the source of all evil in the world, and then acted on that threat, over and over again. Do you believe that I would have a right to defend myself? If I couldn't get anybody in the world to listen and stand with me, and I had to do it all myself, would I have a right to -- to take action in response to them?

Remember, I believe nature's law gives us a lot of stuff.

If I walk into a bear cave and mama and the cubs are in there, I think the bear has a right to maul me to death. Because it senses trouble. Now, that's an animal, but if I go in and I'm hunting those cubs, Mom does have a right to kill me.

But that would assume that she had any kind of intellect. Humans have intellect.

If Hamas were Canada and we were Israel.

And Hamas, Canada, did to us, what we did to Israel, answer this question honestly: Would there be a single building left standing north of our border today?

If they came and raped the same percentage. Killed, slaughtered. Set our babies on fire, do you think that we wouldn't have crippled Canada right now?

And no matter what anybody said, you think we would stop until that threat stopped!

That's not a question of morality. That's just the truth. All people, everybody has a God-given right to protect themselves, period. And Israel is doing that, in the way they feel is right. You can argue with that. And you can disagree vehemently with the way they're fighting the war. My support for Israel's right to finish the fight against Hamas, comes after 80 years of rejected peace offerings.

Two failed state solutions.

Hamas has not hidden its mission. Hamas says, it's the eradication of Israel.

That's not a political agreement. That's not a reasonable disagreement. In my book, it's not a land dispute.

That's -- that's a nihilist.

That's people who -- who -- who are actually calling for genocide, and proudly calling for wiping out of all the Jews.

Okay. Do I believe that America should be in that fight? No. Do believe that that should be in our national interest? Yes.

To support the people who are standing up against what will be our, possibly, last foreign war, as Jefferson said. Islamists believe, if you listen to what is being said in Dearborn, they are planning on Sharia law here in America.

That is -- that will wipe everything of the West out, and they are moving in to our countries.

I have no problem with Muslims. I have a big problem with Islamists, and there's a huge difference. What we saw on October 7th was the face of evil. Women and children slaughtered. And beyond that, even the Nazis tried to hide it. Okay? The Nazis, they knew the rest of the world would not approve. These people were proud of it. We've played the tapes for you. Babies burned alive. Innocent people raped. Dragged through the streets.

And now, we see people defending that evil, in our own country!

That is nothing short of a moral collapse! That is probably the greatest danger that we have, is this -- is this ideology that says, "If I disagree with you, I can kill you."

The -- the confusion of, I disagree with Israel the way they're fighting a war, and so I'm going to say, "I support Hamas, because the Jews are always wrong. The Jews are lying. And I don't believe any of those videotapes because it was probably Jewish propaganda." That's moral collapse. If the chants in the street were Hamas, give up the hostages, don't ever do anything for that again. And Israel, for the love of Pete, stop the bombing, I would be totally cool. Totally cool.

Because that's reasonable. But that's not what we hear. We hear open sympathy for genocidal hatred. That is a chasm that has opened up in our society, and it's not just a chasm opening up, you know, from decency, but from humanity itself. And that's where the danger lies. The same hatred that we saw in the 1930s, that I predicted would happen again in about 2008, that we would see it in our vetoes. That hatred is taking root here, in Dearborn, in Minnesota, in London, in Paris.

And not as horror, but heroism. And if we're not vigilant, the enemy that Israel is currently facing today, will be the enemy that the free world will face tomorrow.

That's not about politics. That is truth. It's not -- it's -- it's about having the courage to call evil by its name. And say, that doesn't happen. Never again, not in the future. That doesn't happen.

You don't have to open a Bible to believe or understand this. You don't. But if you do, if you're a believer, then the issue cuts much, much deeper. And I opened an op-ed on this. And I will be publishing on GlennBeck.com, that goes deeper into that. But I don't expect you to believe the Bible or believe what I believe. I believe it's a very strong case, good versus evil here. Or right versus wrong, if that's the way you want to phrase it.

And national interests. If you look at what the world is headed towards. This -- this is not just about Israel's right to exist.

This is about whether we still know the difference between right and wrong. Good and evil.

Life and death cults.

It's about, do we have the courage to stand for the principles, that God outlined?

And that's not, you're going to inherit the land, or any of that crap. The principles of, you can live, I believe you have a right because you just like me, are a beloved child of God. That's what it is. And if we can't -- if we don't have the courage to make the case and -- and we're trying to convince people, just to blindly follow, because God says. God expects to us kick into reason. God expects us to think things through. And God expects us to disagree. And if we can't do those things, if we won't do those things, then the question is not will Israel survive?

The question is: Will we survive?
