White House’s Ukraine/NATO Promise Risks WORLD WAR with Russia

Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken has promised that Ukraine WILL join NATO, despite that literally being one of the reasons Russia gave for going to war. Is the Biden administration purposefully drawing us closer to World War III? Glenn and Stu discuss what this might mean for the future. Plus, they also review Blinken’s infuriating warning that Israel is close to becoming “indistinguishable” from Hamas.

GLENN: Let's talk about World War III, shall we?

STU: Oh, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Stu, tell me what you think of this. Cut one. Cut one.

STU: It's a little slow.

GLENN: It is -- I thought it would be a little more exciting.

STU: Yeah. It's a little slow.

GLENN: Here it is.

VOICE: Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose of the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership.

And to create a clear pathway, for -- for Ukraine moving forward.

GLENN: Oh!

STU: Oh.

GLENN: Okay. All righty then. That's great.

Now, Stu, can you help me out? What was it, that Russia said, that the reason they were going to war, was because of?

STU: Ukraine potentially getting into NATO.

GLENN: Yeah. And so the one thing they didn't want us to do was?

STU: To push for Ukraine to be in NATO.

GLENN: And so the -- the goal of this big global conference, in Europe, yesterday, was...

STU: To put Ukraine in NATO.

GLENN: Okay. This sounds bad.

STU: Yeah. Now, look, Russia shouldn't be able to tell the rest of the world, who gets in NATO, and who doesn't.

But in this moment, okay?

In the current moment that we're in. Potentially, an answer somewhat like, you know, we're in the middle of a war, right now. I don't know if anyone has noticed this.

Perhaps, we don't want to inflame tensions. We'll discuss this a little bit more. Of course, our policy has not changed. Right? Something like that. We're not necessarily -- the policy has been they want Ukraine -- and the president has not changed that policy. So Blinken cannot come out and say, that's not the policy anymore.

But he can probably be a little more judicious with the way he talks about this in the middle of hundreds of thousands of people dying on the battlefield.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Good.

Good safety tip.

GLENN: Now, you're not the Secretary of State.

STU: I'm not. I think I might be qualified for it though. I kind of thought I was way too much of an idiot to get that job, but I don't think I have the main qualification.

GLENN: Yeah. I don't think you are. I don't think you are.

Now, at the same table, at the same time, the president of France, Macron has been saying lately, he's thinking about sending troops. Now, remember, another thing Russia has said is: You guys get involved, then you're involved. And I target you, as well. So Macron -- now, help me out. We may have slipped through another wormhole. Okay?

In the universe that I went to sleep in last night, France were wusses. France never -- I mean, they were not exactly -- they were lovers. They weren't fighters. And they were the joke, in the universe, I came from.

That like, France, you know, will -- will surrender to your suitcase.

So --

STU: Oh. Not a carry-on. It will have to be a full checkable bag.

GLENN: Well, not necessarily. This has no?

GLENN: Not necessarily. You may be from a different universe than I am.

Have we slipped through a wormhole?

How is it that France of all places is beating their chest going, you know what, we have a military, and we're going to use it. When did that happen?

Why are we listening to France? Why? Why?

Okay. So Macron also said, that he knows for sure Russia is going to target the Paris Olympics. They're going to do it. They're going to do it.

Hmm. Okay. So that's good.

Now, this has not been a problem at all for oil prices.

I mean, yes. It went up to $90 a barrel.

But that probably has something to do with Iran, getting ready to attack Israel. Can. Full-fledged war breaking out in the Middle East.

Which would drive the price of oil through the roof. Would anybody say, $200 a barrel?

By the way, America, the economy is built for 100, to $110 a barrel.

It doesn't survive long, the economy.

Anything over that, that's what we've already priced in.

If you remember, 2008, it was this sustained, what was it? Stu.

130. 130 or $40 a barrel?

STU: That seems high from my memory. I think it was a little lower than that.

With inflation, it would certainly be at least that high.

GLENN: With inflation.

STU: $110 in those days is like 190. 200. 3,000. Whatever it is today.

GLENN: I know.

So it was a sustained over 120.

And I had been warning about it. You can't -- with -- everything is so delicate right now.

You cannot handle, that it will break the back of the economy. Well, it did, and we have the 2008. We're talking now possibly $200 a barrel. $200 a barrel. And what is our government doing?

They're saying, they're not going to fill the strategic oil reserve.

Because it's now too expensive!

I don't know. I say we bite the bullet.

We don't seem to have a problem sending billions of dollars overseas. For -- I don't know. France needs animal crackers. Let's get them!

Let's get the animal crackers to France, quick!

They need $10 billion for animal crackers. We seem to find the money to do whatever we want. Why can't we find the money to fill the strategic oil reserve? From the people who brought you Afghanistan, believes an empty strategic oil reserve. Who would have seen it come?

STU: And, of course, no weapons. Because we gave them all to other countries. So you have that going on as well.

GLENN: Yeah. You have that going on. And, oh, by the way, because of corruption and everything else in our government, all of our F-35s. Well, only 25 percent of them are mission capable. But don't worry, it was just the most expensive airplane ever built.

STU: So it's more like an F9, or an F8. That's what we have left.

GLENN: Yeah. If the F8s didn't work. So also, we have Antony Blinken yesterday. I love Antony.

STU: I love the fact that his name is not Anthony.

GLENN: No, it's Antony.

Hey, everybody, it's me, Antony. I'm over here to tell you, you know what, Israel is becoming indistinguishable from Hamas. You know what I am saying?

Because they're doing too many bada bings and bada booms. And we have to support the bada booms.

STU: I might support him if he sounded like that. I might be okay with it.

GLENN: I at least would enjoy this trip to World War III, you know what I mean?

STU: It's much more fun.

GLENN: Hey, so we have a lot more World War III, you know what I'm saying?

Bada bing. Bada boom. And when I say bada boom, what I'm talking about is what happened in Washington, DC.

Boom! It's gone. Good thing I wasn't there. I was at a strip club, that night.
(laughter)
I was the one held back, you know, in case of a catastrophic event. And it went bada bing.

And she was going bada bing on stage. You know what I'm saying?

Okay. So yesterday, Antony Blinken said those words.

Israel is becoming indistinguishable from Hamas.

Okay! All right.

And Joe Biden, I mean, he laid it down on the terrorists.

Okay?

You know, those terrorists, the Houthis. Man, they are just -- they're so -- they're vicious, those Houthis.

So the Houthi terrorists have been, you know, launching rockets at our ships.

At the ships in China. Everything else.

They've been attacking the ships.

And Joe Biden came out yesterday, I mean, with a strong bada bing.

He came out!

And he said, the Houthi terrorists.

The Houthi terrorists decide that they won't launch any more missiles. I won't call them terrorists.

Okay?

So I'll -- I'll use that -- a nicer descriptor word, for Houthis. If they just stop bombing.

I won't call them terrorists.

STU: What's going on with his voice?

Did he have several red bulls?

GLENN: I mean, wait.

Wait. Wait.

So the Houthis are like, oh!

Well, America won't call us terrorists anymore.

That would be the opposite, that they -- they want you to call them terrorists. Because it makes the Houthis sound scary.

You really think, you know, I have really had -- I have a lot of sand in my ears. Because I grew up here in the desert.

But I -- I -- I can't even say it.

I have been so hurt by America calling us attests.

Just for doing terrorist activity!

What?

They're not Harvard students. They don't have their feelings hurt by mean words. Mean words.

Stop. It might just stop launching rockets at their ship. Oh, my gosh.

We're doomed!

STU: That was our fault. These things are always our fault. Like if we would just improve our behavior, they would stop shooting missiles at us. If we would just stop being so mean to the Gazans, they would stop raping all the Israelis. It's always our fault.

GLENN: Exactly right. Exactly right.

And you call them Gazans, and they're not. They're Palestinians.

STU: Sorry, Palestinians.

GLENN: How do they deal with you people? This has if we would just stop calling them the wrong name, they would stop the murder.

Every single time, it's always our fault.

It's our fault, that because Hamas, the people that were elected by the Palestinians, came across the, quote, unquote, border.

And murdered and raped a bunch of people.

It's our fault, that their citizens are not getting food and water now?

That's because of us?

It's not because of the 150 citizens. Or 150 countries across the world. Who supported Hamas?

GLENN: Can I tell you something, I would love to be a fly on the wall, at the national security committee. And listen to them.

In the bunker, in the bowels of the basement, of the White House.

As they're saying, Mr. President, things are getting a little crazy.

Let's just stop calling them terrorists. My gosh, Mr. President, that is genius!

I think that is the greatest strategic move our military could ever -- that is -- you are a history maker.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: It could go as well as our withdrawal from Afghanistan.

STU: Well, to be fair about Afghanistan for a second here. They did send in multiple officials with no evacuation plan. And within hours, after Kabul fell. So they decided to come up with a plan after the fall of Kabul. Which wasn't at all foreseeable in the days leading up to that. And, hey, what are you going to do, right?

GLENN: Hey, are we still in Afghanistan? No. Bada bing.

STU: That would be a better press conference, than the one that Blinken was giving.

Meet the pro-Intifada candidate NYC Democrats just elected

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

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

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

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

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

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I mean, what do I know?

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

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

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

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

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

Oh!

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

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

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

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

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

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

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

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

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

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

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

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

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

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

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

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

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

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

No. This is something entirely new.

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

America is really responsible for this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That's political Islam!

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

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

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

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

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

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

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

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

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

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

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

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

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

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

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

It will behead them too.

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

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

In my opinion. In my opinion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

That there has to be an intifada here!

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

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

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

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

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

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

See, this is how smart they are!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

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

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

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

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

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

That's going to work out.

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

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

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

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

Really?

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

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

But he's going to do it.

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

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

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

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

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

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

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

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

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

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

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

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

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

Which is weird!

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

This is weird!

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

Oh, wow.

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

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

It's going to be great for you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This time, it's just 8 million people.

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

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

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

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

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

Are you stuck in the past?

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

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

Wish I lived in this morning.

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

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