WEAK or BRILLIANT? Israel’s Response to Iran EXPLAINED

Israel has struck multiple targets inside Iran in retaliation for its recent 300-missile attack. But was this limited strike wimpy or brilliant? Former Department of Defense intelligence analyst Jason Buttrill joins Glenn to argue the latter. As opposed to Iran’s massive, but unsuccessful, attack, Israel launched a successful precision attack that showed Iran it could strike the country whenever and wherever it wanted — without Iran knowing. Jason, Glenn, and Stu also discuss why the increased tension in the region is all Biden’s fault. Plus, they review how YOUR tax dollars allegedly went to the families of Palestinian terrorists.

GLENN: We're dealing with a true ancient evil in the Middle East. It was -- we have Jason Buttrill here, who is main researcher for the Glenn Beck Program and also watches over military operations, and conflicts all around the world for me.

Explain, what happened yesterday, with Israel, and this wuss response from Israel.

Was this the response? Or a response?

What was this?

JASON: This was a brand response, in my opinion.

GLENN: Was it?

JASON: Well, what Israel essentially did. It's kind of -- all three of us. You asked us, what is going to happen?

We were all collectively right. You said, they would strike back at other targets. Which they did. In Syria and Iraq.

But they also struck in Iran. But it's definitely in the Middle East.

The proxy status is dissolving right before our eyes.

The proxy locations. They hit proxy locations. There's not a whole lot of information we do know.

What it looks to me, when analyzing previous attacks, is that these are locations that have been given Iranian weaponry, specifically like cruise missiles, and shorter range missile systems like the kind that hit Israel.

But they also struck near Isfahan in Iran. That's their main missile manufacturing area is right there.

So this was a very limited strike. I would say, maybe a few planes. Maybe a few planes.

They didn't even. I don't even think they launched the missiles from Iranian territory.

Which means probably somewhere over Iraq. They were able to reach up and touch Iran, without Iran knowing a thing about it. And completely destroying the targets they wanted to destroy.

Iran launched 350 plus missiles. Couldn't kill a single thing. Or destroy a single thing. They did this, in such a way, that showed Iran, we could hit you, whenever we want.

You will never know it. And it will be precise.

GLENN: Such a good thing for the people of Iran.

Because you cannot turn the people of Iran.

JASON: Exactly right.

GLENN: They're not part of this.
JASON: No. And there was no collateral damage that we know of, at the moment. This is how you restore deterrents. This is exactly how -- and let's be honest here. This is not a surprise or a secret, that the proxy status is dissolving in front of us.

And that the Middle East is becoming something new and something terrible. This is the result of foreign policy. This is Joe Biden's foreign policy. He went away from the Abraham Accords.

Reengaged with Iran. Coddled Iran. This is what you get. This is exactly what you get, and it is entirely unmet.

STU: And it's interesting too, that there is a level of deescalation here, by Israel as well.

Like, they did -- yes. This is as far as they have gone, right?

But it is considerably less than what Iran tried to do.

JASON: It's deescalation through strength. Iran has no choice, but to go back to their quote and say, we concluded this concluded. They had no choice.

Because right now, you have a bunch of mullahs sitting around the table going, oh, crap. We're kind of screwed here.

STU: Do you think that's what they will do? Are they going to say -- are they basically going to not respond after this?

JASON: I highly doubt against Israel proper. I highly doubt. I think they go back to the way Israel operates. Because they are decades behind Israel. Texting. And it really is jaw-dropping i mean, not only Israel, but the United States, all of our ally allies, how much far ahead we are against this axis of evil, like Iran, North Korea, russia.

They're crazy, and can do some crazy things. But we are way ahead of them. And as this shows, I mean, it really is kind of breathtaking and amazing just how efficient Israel is.

GLENN: So this not will maybe improve your mood much. But according to the Palestinian Authority's official news outlet, the Palestinian General Intelligence Service on April 4th provided a grant for 36 families perform of agency families who died or were in prison, as a result of their involvement in anti-Israel security crimes.

And they paid their families off, with money that came from us.

PAT: Unbelievable.

GLENN: We will pay the families of the martyrs, and they are using American dollars, that we are giving them to reward the martyrs and the families. So you've always got that one going for you.

PAT: Sorry. American dollars. Going to the Palestinians. Hamas.

American dollars going to Israel. As it should be, I believe, right now. American dollars also going to Iran.

American dollars going to Iraq. American dollars that will be spent when we have to deal with a lot of this stuff.

Where is there not the stain of our ridiculous foreign policy, geopolitics, how we teal with the entire region and world?

We're funding every single side here.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And -- and the right side, we're funding, I think, kind of against the government's will.

I think they will cut off the money for Iran. I mean, I'm sorry. For Israel in a heartbeat. If they could. They could get away with it. They would cut it off in a heartbeat.

Look at what's happening around our own country right now.

And no one is saying anything about it. You have people chanting death to America.

Quoting the Ayatollah Khomeini. In -- in large sections, and large numbers of major cities.

You have the campuses. What happened yesterday, in Columbia?

Police had to come in, and shut the whole thing down, yesterday.

We were talking to the -- the consulate yesterday. The Israeli consulate.

What is the university in New Orleans?

Tulane?

It has 50 percent. 50 percent of the population of Tulane, is Jewish. There are protesters there. And the Jewish students, don't feel safe!

JASON: Yeah.

GLENN: And who is doing anything about it?

JASON: That's why. I understand where Israel is coming from.

But I think they need to mass produce the video they showed us yesterday.

It has to be everywhere. It can no longer be ignorance, for you to chant death to America. That has to do with Iran. Iran greenlit the October 7th -- they have to!

GLENN: I asked them.

I said, look, can I put out a general call and say, come to a movie theater, with me?

And you guys can present it. But you can come in.

You know, we'll vet you in advance. So we know who you are.

And see it. And they said, no.

We can't do that.

STU: They just don't want everyone. What's reasoning?

It's disturbing for the families of these people?

GLENN: No. The families in many of these cases. One of the more disturbing things was the attack on the family. And these two little boys.

JASON: Oh, my gosh.

GLENN: I mean, it was unbelievable. And the mom survived. And she insisted that that video be included.

She's like, no. No. No, no. The world needs to see what happened to my family.

And so what was it she said? She said, we just can't --

JASON: She said, the people that see it, need to have a reason to see it. Or something like that.

GLENN: Yeah. She didn't -- I think their deal is, they don't want to deal in death. You know, they don't want to be seen as just -- but I have to tell you, it is -- it is -- if we could have seen the death camps in advance.

Okay?

If the American people could have seen the beginning of the death camps. And the showers. It's not enough to talk about it.

It just not enough.

JASON: I want to see these people continue to protest in that way.

If they have seen that part of the video and just a quick narration, these terrorists march into a village. They slaughter a dog, that was running up with a happy, wagging tail.

GLENN: Okay. Not an enemy.

JASON: Slaughter the dog.

It was a friendly dog. Then they go through, and you see their body cam turn, as it looks into the screen window. They shoot an old person sitting there in front of the -- behind the window.

You hear them groan and drop. Then you go to this specific voice with the boys. It turns to CCT footage camera.

They're in their underwear. You can tell they're woken up by the gun shots. This is -- the father takes the two kids, hides them. Shields them with his body from a grenade, and he drops instantly. Then the two kids are screaming, why am I alive? Is he dead? Why am I alive?

GLENN: Little kids. Little kids. One of them said.

JASON: Six, eight.

GLENN: Yeah, one of them said to the other, I think we're going to die. And the other brother came and comforted him and tried to, you know, heal him. The little kid had lost the vision in his eye. Couldn't see in both. He's gained back his vision now, in one eye. But the other brother was shielding him.

It was shocking!

JASON: And then, what do the terrorists do? They walk through the house, and start rummaging through their refrigerator. Drinking the juice and the Coke and stuff, looking for food.

It's the most animalist thing I've ever seen.

GLENN: And the kids were smart enough to hide. They ran and hid. I don't know where they hid.

JASON: That was God stuff right there.

GLENN: That was. How they got out of that house alive, and hid. When you saw -- you see the entire community. Everyone is dead. Everyone is dead.

JASON: Yeah.

GLENN: I mean, it was -- it's what happened in Poland, in Czechoslovakia.

When the -- when the people would go into towns. And they would put everybody into a church. They would chain the doors. And they would burn it all down.

And every single Jew in the community was dead. That's what it was.

It's shocking. And how these two kids survived is beyond me, other than a miracle from God.

JASON: I spoke to an IDF guy. He was probably in his 90s. And he was in the six-day war. It was in Sderot.

GLENN: Sderot was hit?

JASON: Sderot was hit as well.

GLENN: I've been there.

JASON: I asked him. How the heck did you guys win? He goes, at times, it felt like God closed their eyes and shut their ears. And that quote came back to me, when those two little boys when you see them run around the corner, when there's terrorists everywhere.

GLENN: There's CCTV footage on this whole area. And so you can follow the kids.

And they're running -- as soon as they leave the door. I don't know. Nobody spoke during this thing. But as soon as they opened the door, I'm like, don't do it. Stay inside. Stay inside.

And they run out. And then you see them running in an open space, between houses. And there are guys just shooting everything. Shooting everything.

And they just run and snake around, and they're not even -- they're kids. They're not trying to be, you know, low to the ground or anything.

They're just running like little kids run, in an open field.

And somehow or another, nobody saw them to kill them.

It's --

STU: Wow. They were survived.

GLENN: They survived. They survived. They survived.

STU: Let me ask you this: How would this play out?

If one of these large protests. The pro-Hamas protests we've been seeing ail around the country.

If you had two thousands of individuals people there, at one of these protests.

And somehow, or one of the big walls nearby, they just played this footage. How does that crowd react to it?

GLENN: That crowd will start saying, very soon, that this is all deepfake.

Let me give you --

STU: They would deny it.

They would be won over. And see the horror.

GLENN: Maybe some would.

The hard cores definitely won't. Hard cores definitely won't.

Let me just give you, this is the polling from the Palestinian territories of Hamas. This is taken after -- after October 7th.

95 percent of the Palestinians when asked, do you think people around you, will forgive what Israel did in this war some day?

This is -- this is asked like October 10th.

No. We will not forgive at all. Seventy-five percent of Palestinians are extremely supportive of the military operation led by Hamas on October 7th.

76 percent of Palestinians. Somewhat positive. Very positive view of the roll of Hamas. 97 percent of Palestinians have a very negative view of Israel.

97 percent, very negative view of the role of America.

84 percent of Palestinians have a very positive view of the roll of Islamic jihad.

74 percent. When presented with a choice of a two-state solution. Or a Palestinian state. From the river to the sea.

74 percent say, river to the sea. When asked about their own preference for the party, who should be in control?

60 percent said, Hamas.

85 percent -- 85 percent, responding to the videos. No. I'm sorry.

93 percent, responding to October 7th.

93 percent said, that they were fine.

That Hamas didn't commit any atrocities. On October 7th.

93 percent, no atrocities!

And you can't tell me, it's just because they didn't watch the videos.

A lot of these videos came from their own video channels.

That everybody is accessing.

And the people on the streets, know exactly what was going on.

JASON: That's the wrong question.

Because they don't consider killing Jews atrocities.

Is George Soros’ evil empire CRUMBLING?

George Soros has just turned 95 years old and Glenn has a birthday message for him! What a shame that after nearly a century of trying to destroy the West, Spooky Dude now gets to watch as his son brings his own empire to its knees…It couldn’t have happened to nicer people.

STU: It's a big day.

I was unaware of this birthday. It's not in my calendar, for some reason.

GLENN: I know. I know. Why do you suppose that is?

STU: I don't know. Here's a guy who has really made an impact on our world.

GLENN: He really has.

And he's 95 years old.

STU: Wow.

GLENN: He's outlived almost all of the people that tried to stop him.

And to be honest most of the economies that he tried to collapse, so it's nice.

And so I just wanted to say, happy birthday George Soros. I mean, I know we've had our quibbles. You threatened my life once.

You know, I've called you spooky dude. You know, but let's put all that aside. You have toppled a few currencies, just for sport.

You -- you have funded enough political movements, all over the world, to keep small nations and coups for over a century now. And you have turned philanthropy, into a really terrifying word.

You're like, wait. The Soros foundation is behind this?

It's kind of neat. You take people's breath away, when we talk about philanthropy, which is nice.

Somehow or another, you have learned to blame everything from inflation and a collapsing society. To the people who are pointing out the involvement.

You know, your involvement in our ever collapsing world. Or if you can't pin it on them, it's the weather.

So you've got that. And, George, all of this time. All of the hard work. Here you are, at 95. And to see it all come apart at the very end. To see it all collapse. It's got to be hard. It's got to be hard.

But the good news is, most of it is coming because unlike you, I know people are good and smart, and even decent. And in the end, the good guys win.

Kind of like they did, in World War II.
Remember, you were -- I think you were a young teenager. And when you threw your lot in with the Nazis.

I know. I know. You didn't have a choice.

And I actually believed that. You didn't have a choice.

I probably would have done the same thing, if I were your age.

And I mean that honestly.

However, what's always puzzled me. Is if I would have made that choice.

I think I would have, I don't know. More than just a fleeting moment of reflection.

On that. You know, maybe -- you know, what always puzzled me. You have never once, in your own words. Looked back on that. And had a second of guilt or regret.

I mean, I think I have this right. You took and sold the goods of homes that were taken by the Nazis from the Jews. They took the Jews to the death camps. And you cleaned out the houses and sold the valuables. Which is weird, that you have no regrets or reflexes on that. Didn't even think about it. Never gave it a second. You know, that was weird. And I was shocked to hear you say that, when you were on 60 Minutes, and they asked I about that. Now, my follow-up question would have been, have you ever been diagnosed as a psychopath? But they didn't ask that question, and probably didn't have to. Because it became very clear that you indeed were a psychopath, when you spoke about how when you, quote, do these little experiments with countries and currencies that you collapse, you know that people are hurt. But you find it, and still quoting, I don't know.

Fun!

Wow. Wow.

(laughter)
That's a different kind of -- that's a different kind of fun there, that I've never really kind of understood at all. But, you know, George people say, the measure of a man. A mark of a man's life is the good that he leaves behind.

And in your case, that good is still looking for a GPS signal. Haven't found it. But I'm sure we will.

And it's sad now to think, now that you're 95. Again, happy birthday, George.

And I mean that sincerely.

Now at 95, to think that all of your wildly strangely young girlfriends, are now only clearly with you for the money. And they might be losing some interest. Because the way your son handling your money, that may be gone faster than your. Girlfriends. You know what I mean?

And I know, it causes you pain. To hear about this. And see your entire world collapsing at the end.

And many people might see this, and see your pain. And say, well. You know

GLENN: Yeah.

But it's kind of fun to watch that pain.

In George Soros. But not me. Not me. Now, I've called you spooky died. And if it wasn't for the spooky dude, good looks, you know, of your son Alex. I've wondered. And maybe you wondered this. Is he really your son? He's nothing like you. Sure, he's spooky and everything else. But what a dope this guy is. I mean, you were the guy known for breaking the Bank of England.

That's what they called you, the man who broke the Bank of England. Your son breaking another bank. But it seems to be yours, which is weird. Because when it comes to investing and making money.

Wow. What a disappointment in a son. Huh.

George? Wow.

What went wrong there.

Anyway, several countries have banned you. You know, or your organizations from even being in their country. Because you were so good at what you did.

You know, collapsing currencies in societies.

But when your son took control of Soros fund management. You know, they can't be thing you set your whole life building. It was an empire. A global empire.

In December 2021, one of the first things he did was invest 2 billion dollars to buy nearly 20 million shares of an electric vehicle company called Rivian.

And he bought the shares, somewhere between 70 and $100 per share.

In fact, he was so confident, in your money. That it was the largest one-off investments your fund had ever made.

And now, I -- I hate to point out, you know, a year later, those shares were selling for $18.

And it looks like you lost over a billion dollars. In fact, with the moves that he's been making. With your life's work.

Wow!

Hedge Follow. This is a website that tracks and ranks US hedge fund performances.

They currently give the Soros fund management. Your company. That you dedicated your life to.

A performance rating of one out of five stars.

Which makes it one of the least successful in the country. Wow.

And, you know, another reason why I wonder if he's your son.

Is, you've always prided yourself on being the man in the shadows. And anybody could ever point to.

You know what I mean?

But your son is so filled with pride.

Pride, something. Something follows pride. I can't remember that saying.

I should look that up. But, anyway, Happy Birthday, George.

This guy, your son.

He takes selfies with some of the -- well, frankly, some of the biggest losers in the political sphere right now. But, you know, the actual influence of your life's work seems to be diminishing rapidly.

In fact, on July 2023, Open Society foundation, you guys announced that you were laying off 40 percent of your staff worldwide. Wow! What happened there?

Was that Rivian? Oh, does that hurt when I say that? Was it Rivian?

You halted all new grants, and you completely changed your operating model. Mainly because I think you were kind of getting out of money, you know what I mean?

And the crowning glory. The crowning achievement of your open society network, under Alex, was the passage of the so-called inflation reduction act.

You know, I don't think the people know. You were really involved in that.

In fact, one of the guys who worked for open society.

I mean, you reopened a -- an Open Society Foundation firm there, in New York. So you could lobby. And became one of the biggest. Just for that. In fact, he was so involved.

He was actually honored with the gift of being on the floor, when that passed. Wow!

Wow!

Gosh, gosh.

Now that -- now that that's all falling apart too.

I mean, oh. Now, let me ask you: When you passed that, was that because of Rivian?

I hate to keep bringing that up.

But the reason why I say that: At the same time, your son was doing that, your son was spending at least $4 million on Stacey Abraham's failed gubernatorial campaign.

And you think to yourself. Who would be this tuned?

Certainly not George Soros' son. He's really, really smart. Why would he do that? Well, it could be, because at the time, Rivian was starting to build a gigafactory, right there in her state.

And he was asking the state for some subsidies, which gosh, then she didn't win. And all that money was flushed down the toilet.

But the good news is, Biden, at the very last minute, gave -- Donald Trump cut, was it? Oh, man. That's got to hurt. But at least, it did wonders for Rivian's share -- no. The stock.

It's now worth less than $12 a share. That kind of...

Anyway, at least you have the Soros DAs. The defund the police. No bail. Go soft on crime. That seems to be working on really -- well, not really.

More than a dozen of your DAs. That was your jewel.

That was the one thing that you were like, I have all the DAs. And we will collapse this country.

Yeah.

More than a dozen have been removed from office, by recalls and scandals and just people -- people like, I can't do another one of these. You know what I mean? And the spike of urban crime, ended up being one of the key factors in the defeat of the Democratic Party of 2024.

Which seems to go exactly everything that you were trying to do.

You know, the second election of Donald Trump. Crime, immigration. And the economy, were the big topics.

Which had to bother you. Because those were your big topics too.

And how it must have hurt, you know, when he won. And then what he did for energy. And cutting electric car subsidies. Oh, gosh. That one hurts again.

Closing the borders. Defunding all your little NGOs. Now going after your sanctuary cities. And this week, taking crime on, in DC. And even the liberals are saying, you know what, I don't really agree with Donald Trump.

But I think he's right on this one. Man, I would imagine the mental torture of a 95-year-old man who was just -- just trying to make it to the pudding in the afternoon. To see your world fall apart.

That torture must be relentless. But, I mean, if I'm going to be honest.

I kind of find it fun!

Oh, now see.

You see how -- you see how that feels, George?

When somebody doesn't recognize your pain.

You might be thinking what I would be thinking.

Glenn, are you a psychopath?

You don't see the pain of others?

No. I'm just doing a comedy monologue here, George.

You actually meant that.

So I want to just give you your perfect birthday present. And what do you get a guy who has everything.

You know, you have to find something that he doesn't have. That's why I wanted to get you a soul. But I thought, no. He's already lost the one he had, so I don't know if he really would appreciate it.

But the good news is, you have all of that worldly power and that wealth to keep you warm at night. Which is good.

Because you should get used to the warmth.

Because where you're headed, I -- I hear, is very, very hot, all the time, a little beyond warm.

I hear it's terrifyingly hot there. But, hey! This has been fun, hasn't it?

I don't know. I just kind of find it fun, to wish you a happy 95th birthday, George Soros.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

How Obama Weaponized His Deep State Against Hero Vets | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 263

Over the past few months, classified document releases related to Russiagate, the deep state, and other scandals have shown us just how frightening the government can be. But as Gina Keating has proven, it is NOT invincible. Gina — an investigative journalist and lifelong liberal — was forced to question everything she knew when she discovered that the DOJ under Obama, at the urging of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was wrongfully prosecuting four Blackwater contractors for allegedly staging a massacre at Nisour Square in Baghdad, Iraq. Gina joins Glenn Beck to tell the story of these men, as documented in her new book, “Raven 23: How the Department of Justice Betrayed American Heroes.” She and Glenn discuss why the government really prosecuted these men, how Wikileaks helped expose the truth, and how Pete Hegseth helped convince President Trump to pardon them. But perhaps just as concerning was the media’s response to this story. Gina describes how her fellow journalists wouldn’t touch the case on “moral” grounds and provides solutions to help get partisan politics out of journalism.

WHAT THE NFL is going on with male cheerleaders?!

The Minnesota Vikings and 11 other NFL teams now have male cheerleaders…and not the kind you may be thinking of. Is this really what NFL fans want, or will this be the next Dylan Mulveney moment? Glenn, Stu, and Jason discuss…

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So the Minnesota Viking. The Vikings!

That will have two male cheerleaders. Now, when I first heard this story, I said to my wife, wife, daughter. Because they brought this up to me. And I said, well, let's not be hasty. I said, there's loss of sports teams that have male cheerleaders, and I said to my wife and my daughter, who are both cheerleaders.

I said, didn't you have, you know -- when college -- they have the guys run out. And the cheerleaders. And they hold the girls up. And throw them and everything else.

And my wife went, that's not this.

And I haven't seen the footage yet. But here are the -- here are the two male Viking cheerleaders, cut 29.
(music)

STU: There they are.

GLENN: Dear God.
(music)

GLENN: Okay. All right. We can stop. We can stop. Please, no more. We can stop.

STU: Did you like it?

GLENN: Give me a Y. Give me an E. Give me an F. What does that spell? Yes! No.
(laughter)

STU: That came out of your mouth way too easily. That's been practiced in front of a mirror, I'll tell you that.
(laughter)

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Yeah. No. I don't -- I don't think so.

So the Vikings season ticket holders are canceling their season tickets.

Now, what part of Minnesota didn't you understand, when you bought a ticket?

You're in Minnesota. Of course, it's going to happen in Minnesota.

But Vikings. The Vikings would have killed cheerleaders back then. Well, they didn't have cheerleaders. It's not like, they were on their ship. Give me an R! Give me a P, give me an E. What's that? Raid!

I mean, I don't think they had that.

STU: Unlikely. Unlikely.

Yeah. You don't see that in the historic accounts of their practices.

GLENN: No. No. No.

So the Vikings having male cheerleaders like that. Not exactly makes a lot of sense.

STU: It's not a surprise, right?

GLENN: For Minnesota. No.

STU: Yeah. I would say most NFL teams, you would not be stunned to see it.

Cowboys you would probably be stunned to see it.

GLENN: I would. I would.

STU: Most of the people in the team, are players. So they wouldn't necessarily need them as cheerleaders.

GLENN: Oh, my God. How dare you. Hang on just a second. Hang on just a second.

STU: I just know Stu was there.

GLENN: Do you think that the Eagles would put male cheerleaders like that on the field?

STU: Yeah. Probably. They probably do. They do have male cheerleaders.

GLENN: Wait. Wait. Wait.

Do you think male cheerleaders like that, would walk off the field of Philadelphia? The same way, they walked on to the field?

STU: Not in the area where the stadium is. No. No. Yes. It's -- it would be a little rough.

But the team. The Eagles team is pretty liberal. And the conservative. The cowboys, relatively speaking. Pretty conservative.

GLENN: Yeah. They're not going to --

STU: You would be very surprised to see that at the Cowboys. I mean, this one is pretty over the top though.

Right, it's -- it's --

GLENN: Yes.

STU: As -- I don't know. It's as far as I've seen.

GLENN: That's who it is.
STU: Oh, I remember him.
GLENN: Adam, the American, he's a guy who seemed a little effeminate to be in ISIS.

STU: He was in al-Qaeda, wasn't he?

GLENN: Oh, that's right. Al-Qaeda. That's right. Al-Qaeda.

GLENN: Send back your soldiers, your spies, your attaches, et cetera.

JASON: From where to where?

STU: After Afghanistan to Zanzibar.

GLENN: To Zanzibar.

STU: I'll never forget that.

GLENN: From Afghanistan, to Zanzibar. Or we're going to -- if you don't do it, we're going to give you such a slap.

STU: It was not. It was not necessarily the persona you'd expect to lead an al-Qaeda messaging department. But it was effective. By the way, we lost him.

We've lost Adam, the American, in 2015.

GLENN: Oh, what happened?

Oh, what happened?

STU: He passed away, Glenn. We didn't just like lose him in the mall. He actually died.

GLENN: Hello, where is everybody?

Al-Qaeda! Where are you?

STU: Right.

JASON: You know he was looking forward to his shot as a Minnesota Vikings cheerleader too. That's so sad.

GLENN: And you know al-Qaeda would have loved that.

They would be all in support. Look at. Look at. Because, again -- this is, again. This is, again, the same people in Minnesota, that are wrapping their arms around the Somali flag.

They're ready to put in an Islamist, socialist mayor in Minneapolis. And you're putting in the two transgender bender cheerleaders? That's not going to go well with your people in Somalia.

STU: You don't think?

GLENN: I mean, we're the haters. They're the ones who kill them.

I mean, it's nuts!

JASON: Yeah. Adam Gadahn, he was early to that boat.

GLENN: Yeah. He was.

JASON: He was the red, green, pink alliance way back before it was even a thing.

STU: That's true.

GLENN: Now, I'm not sure that he was pink.

JASON: He was prophetic, Glenn.

GLENN: Are you just judging him by his accent. By his speech patterns.

JASON: No. No.

GLENN: All right. Good. You shouldn't do that.

By the way, I saw a promo for, oh, was it on Netflix? For the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader thing. Or saw it in the news.

It was a clip on I think -- on Instagram, from one of the enterprise where they're talking to the girls.

This is -- this was a mistake.

This was a mistake. If you're doing a -- how the Tallahassee Cowboy cheerleaders. Become Dallas cowboy cheerleaders.

Nowhere in that pitch, should it say, and we talk to the girls!

STU: It would be kind of a weird show, if they didn't actually speak to the girls. It's like a reality show, right?

GLENN: Well, you know, I thought it was -- I thought it was really weird when they did talk to them.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Because what they said. They asked the questions, like, who was the president of the United States?

Now, this was taken before Donald Trump.

Who is the president of the United States?

You know what the answer was? O Biden. O Biden. O Biden.
JASON: No.

STU: That's a completely accurate answer. I totally back that answer.

That's exactly who it was. That's exactly Obama.

VOICE: That's a good point.

GLENN: How many yards are there on a football field? Answer: 50?
(laughter)

STU: Well, there are 50. There's just another 50, and then two end zones.

GLENN: It was. I mean, it was -- it was -- if I were dad or mom, and I saw this episode, I would be like, sweetheart, you're cute and everything.

And you can dance. But we need to have a talk with you, using what's -- what God gave you upstairs, beyond the shoulders. You know, a little higher than the shoulders.

We need you to work on that one, a little bit. A little bit. It was horrible.

STU: Yeah. I will say too, it seems like they -- for a long time, they were putting him on this reality show.

And they were dancing at all their losses.

And they were -- they were paying them like 11 uncertainties a month.

Now, I guess, they've upped the salaries of them.

They're the most famous cheerleaders in the world, right.

And they were not exactly bringing in the cash. I guess they're finally making some money. Which is good.

GLENN: Yeah. You know why?

You know what the excuse was?

You have the honor of being a Dallas cowboy cheerleader.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: That actually is kind of like.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Hey.

STU: I mean, it is quite an honor, right?

GLENN: It's a real honor.

And you could probably -- you could probably marry some real, you know, dumb sexist money too.

You know, just --

STU: That's --

GLENN: I'm a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.

And somebody is like, I've got lots of money. We're made for each other.

JASON: I don't think they have, you know, a TV show for the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders, do they? I'm pretty sure they don't. I mean, in Minnesota, they have men now, as cheerleaders. But in Philadelphia, they have cheerleaders that are female, that just look like men.

GLENN: No. Have you ever seen it's Always Sunny In Philadelphia?

You're watching that show. It's Danny DeVito.
(laughter)

STU: It's true.

And I will say, there is -- I don't think there's any trans, you know, cheerleaders on the Eagles. I will say, their players keep wearing all this new jewelry, though.

They keep getting all this jewelry every couples years, Jason. How many years since the Cowboys picked up some new jewelry?

JASON: We had our time, you person there.

How can you be -- I'll tell you what. Sitting in the heart of Dallas Cowboys, you know -- you know, the Mecca there. We had the Philadelphia Eagles fan too. It makes absolutely no sense.

STU: Oh. I totally. You don't understand, Jason.

My entire life, I've been an Eagles fan, and living in areas where they hate the Eagles.

GLENN: Which is -- wait. Wait. Hang on just a second.

Which is everywhere outside of Philadelphia.

STU: Basically, yes. Basically, utter -- just hatred for the Eagles. Every place I've been.

GLENN: Right.

STU: And that, you know, normally sucks.

I will say, the past few years have been absolutely glorious living in this city. Watching the Eagles win two Super Bowls, with the Cowboys, in whatever the hell they're doing, right now.

Has been utter pleasure from beginning to end.

It is the only time in my life, I've ever been able to enjoy it. So give me this one thing.

That's all.

GLENN: I will tell you, I have season tickets to the Cowboys. And every time we go, I am shocked at how many non-Cowboy fans are in stadiums.

It's like the cowboys are almost booed. It's almost like, wow.

There's a lot of people here that don't like the Cowboys.

JASON: Yeah. It's true. And A lot of these stadiums we're building now, are built for that really. They're huge. They're not really about the football anymore.

More like a kind of rock crowd.

GLENN: You know, we have -- we're up, you know. The nose extent bleed. But it's close.

But you're in the seats. And we're at the 50-yard line. And we're eye level with the big, huge TV. The giant TV.

And every time, we're there. We're just watching it on TV.

And at some point, I look at, you know, my son, like, we could have done this at home.

We could have done this at home.

Why are we not looking at the field?

STU: That's legitimately distracting.

JASON: It is. Yeah, no. I don't like going -- it's a pain in the butt to go into a lot of these sporting arenas anymore. It takes like an hour to get in. It takes two hours to get out.

They all have these big screens. You may as well sit at home.

GLENN: Yeah. I don't know why -- it would be so much better with the yellow line down. Where the first down is.

STU: Yeah. Why would they do that? That's so weird.

GLENN: I don't know why they don't do that. They do it on TV all the time.

All right. Back in just a minute.

Let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor this half-hour is RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.

Real Estate Agents I Trust is a company that I started, out of frustration. And this is the first time that I had had a chance to really use it, myself.

I started this company with my brother Robert, years ago. We started looking for great real estate agents. Because we both had problems with real estate agents.

And so I started working with, what the Wall Street Journal says, the 500 best real estate agents in the country. I learned from them.

And he learned from them.

And we learned what it takes to be a really great agent. And then we decided, we would start our own company. That would recommend agents like that. We would find them all over the country. We found, I don't know about 3,000 of them. We have a waiting list of I think over 10,000 now.

But we don't -- we don't take everybody and we don't -- we want to make sure we can monitor everybody. So we have a team, that just monitors.

And they check after the sale. To make sure, hey. Real estate agent.

Because these guys don't work for me.

They work for you. I'm just recommending the people that we have found. And we want to know, are they as good as -- do they deserve to be turned on to other listeners? So I started using it myself. Because we're moving to Florida.

And I have to tell you, Lisa Treu was our agent there. Got her from Real Estate Agents I Trust.

And she was absolutely remarkable. If you're -- if you're in South Florida, you should look her up. Just call Real Estate Agents. If she's recommended to you, I can tell you. And they're all like this. But this one, I know, because I used her.

Just tremendous. Just tremendous.

You want to be treated right. Get somebody who listens to you. Knows the market. Knows how to negotiate.

Knows how to get the house that you are looking for. And help sell yours. RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. That's RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.
(OUT AT 10:49 AM)

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here.

Stu, Jason, he is our head researcher, just found something out.

STU: Right. Chief researcher.

GLENN: What did I say?

STU: You said head researcher. You mean chief researcher. Jason Buttrill, chief researcher for Glenn.

GLENN: Now I introduce him with glee.
Jason.

JASON: That's right, Glenn. Breaking news. There are actually 12 NFL teams, that are introducing male cheerleaders this year.

Dallas Cowboys are not one of them. Coming in at the power spot of number five, students, Philadelphia Eagles.

STU: They could be recruiting their cheerleaders from al-Qaeda. And I would still love them. I don't care what they do.
(laughter)

STU: Unlike the Cowboys, people don't go just for the cheerleaders in Philadelphia.

JASON: It's a good part of it, Stu. It's a good part of it.

GLENN: It keeps the American man. It's hard beating.

STU: I can't disagree with any of this talk, I have to say, I would like to. I would like to.

But, no. They are fantastic.

GLENN: They are fantastic.

STU: They do a great job.

GLENN: And they're all 100 percent USDA grade women.

JASON: That's right.
(laughter)

STU: I thought you were going to say natural. I was going to say, I don't know about that one.
GLENN: No. I'm not tuned. I know there's 100 yards on the football field.
