Will Biden's visit to Israel HELP or HURT the war against Hamas?

President Biden is heading to Israel, allegedly to show support for the war against Hamas. But Glenn remembers when Biden refrained from visiting disaster zones so that he wouldn't get in the way. So, is stalling the Israeli ground invasion the plan? Former DoD intelligence analyst and Glenn's head researcher, Jason Buttrill, joins to break down what's going on: What will the next phase of the war look like? Why will no country take refugees from Gaza? Why is destroying Hamas so critical? And will this turn into a 3-front war?

GLENN: So let me move it across the town of Washington over to the White House. The president is headed on over to Israel. Now, if I recall, there were times the president didn't go to disaster areas, because, well, he would just get in the way.

A presidential visit would get in the way.

This is a war zone he's going into now.

I'm not convinced of the innocence of this.

I think it is more of a delay tactic. Keep Israel from going in and really decimating things. And finishing the job.

But I'm pessimistic. And a little jaded. On the politicians. Especially on the left, when it comes to Israel.

Jason Buttrill is with us.

And he has the latest on what is happening in Israel. How come we haven't seen Israel go in?

We thought we were going to see it this weekend. Really go in. And with troops. And just go, through Gaza.

JASON: I've seen a lot of people talk about how they don't think that the ground invasion is likely anymore. And that's not how I read the situation on the ground at all. This is an unprecedented situation that Israel is now in. So not only do they have the pressure campaign from the Biden administration. You know, their top main ally, which I can only imagine. Blinken was in a meeting with Netanyahu yesterday, for, what? Eight hours. Eight hours. Can you imagine the threats that are probably getting lobbed across the table there? They don't want this ground invasion to happen. It is a humanitarian disaster. It absolutely will be.

GLENN: Good. Egypt can take care of it.

JASON: But did you see, just now, the king of Jordan, this morning, said, speaking on behalf of Jordannians and Egypt, that allowing Palestinian refugees from Gaza is a, quote, read line. They said, it's a red line (?) and we know what the actors on the line would do. Gee, I wonder what he's talking about there. Because the last time this happened was in 1970, Glenn. 1970, after the six-day war. They allowed tons of Palestinian refugees from the West Bank. Because there was nowhere for them to go, like now. What happened? Instantly, the Palestinians kicked off a Civil War in Jordan, and even tried to assassinate the king of Jordan. And the Jordannians had to kick them out. They had to go to Lebanon. What happened in Lebanon, after that. Well, gee. A Civil War broke out in Lebanon. I mean, these are terrorists. It happens every time. The entire Arab world knows this. That's why the ground invasion has to happen. Has to.

They have to be dismantled for good.

GLENN: So what are they fearing here?

Because I know they are worried about a three-front war. One from the IRGC. You think it will happen?

From Syria. That's Iran. The IRGC. Then you have Hezbollah from the north. Which is Lebanon. And they're already -- they're already there on the border, right?

JASON: They're taking potshots. As we speak, they're taking potshots.

GLENN: And then you have Gaza. And that is down on the south, towards Egypt.

JASON: Right. And so that's why this is so complicated. What Israel has been engaged in since the terror attack has happened on Saturday, is they have been doing shaping operations. Basically, what that means, they're taking out units outside the border. They're shaping their route of attack. Once they go into Baez. Which will be a sniper parades in Gaza. This will be very deadly. The worst kind of combat there is.

Even if you take 200,000 troops into Gaza. Which is a relatively small place. That might not be enough.

It will be a very, very hard fight.

But shaping operations take time.

Amassing troops along three different fronts.

I mean, that's colossal.

I mean, for the IDF. Israel is a small country.

I mean, we have more Jews in the United States, than are actually in Israel.

They just don't have the people.

So it's gynecology a lot of prayer. Forcefully it will take a lot of (?) strategy and smart thinking top pull all of this off.

Think about this in that context. (?) how imperative it is for them to do this.

And then you're getting the full-court pressure from the Biden administration.

It's insane.

GLENN: I don't just Israel will listen to us or anybody else, are they?

JASON: I hope not.

GLENN: Here's the thing: Jews are expelled from every country, except for this one.

Every country, they ever are in.

There is always a program or -- or a, you know, a Holocaust. Wherever they are, (?) they are either put into a get zero, or exterminated.

That's the reason (?) Israel exists.

No longer do they have to have permission to defend themselves.

Jews have a right to live.

I know that's a crazy concept. But I have the T-shirt.

Jews have a right to live. And they have a right to defend themselves, period.

And if that's the way they want to defend themselves, I'm with them. I'm with them.

I'm no longer buying into the bullcrap, that, well, they want a two-state solution.

No, they don't. No, they don't. No, they don't.

That he had the opportunity.

Multiple times, they always turn it down. They want the instruction of Israel, and the Jews. Period.

GLENN: But doesn't say T say in the Hamas charter, very specifically (?) we want a two-state solution.

GLENN: No. It's weird. It says just the opposite. Archaeologist atell us (?) so we can kill them.

JASON: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: Yeah. So it's got that going for them.

STU: And eventually, the strikingly Jew behind me. Which is -- that's in the charter as well.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. So that's really good."

So yesterday, Iran was crazy. I'm sorry. Crazier than they usually are.

JASON: Some of their official communications are, let's just say, getting a bitted on. Talking about. And again, this is official statements, about the final battle of God is upon us. That's a little alarming.

But it also shows, that Israel's enemies, our enemies, see this. And it's not just a geopolitical situation for them. It's not a humanitarian situation for them.

GLENN: I don't understand how everybody in the media, can look at somebody who says, I believe that America was a God-inspired place. And they go, religious zealot.

They're going to kill us all.

And they can listen to these clerics, who say, the final battle of time is here.

And we will wash the world in the blood of the Israeli Holocaust. We will -- we will use the fire of the Islamic fury, to wash the world in blood. And everybody is like, yeah. They don't mean it.

Hey. How about we build apartments for them?

GLENN: Pallets of cash. (?)

GLENN: It's crazy. That wasn't the only communication they were throwing out.

They were throwing utilize from their diplomatic channels. That the state of Israel will have to heed the warning.

GLENN: What does that have to mean to you.

As a former Intel guy, what does that say to you?

JASON: Initially, I think that means, heavy IRGC involvement.

That means Shia militia, throughout the Middle East. Doing God knows what.

They do have a plan.

That will progress to (?)

GLENN: That puts gas at $10 a billion.

What is the United States' role then?

I mean, Israel is not going to ask for our help militarily.

They're not going to do it.

They're fully capable. We won't intervene.

We probably will have to intervene. What else will we do?

All gas and oil flow stopping unravel because Iran intervenes and does so.

GLENN: Good thing we have those solar panels and wind panels, huh?

JASON: What would gas be?

GLENN: Ten dollars a billion. At least $10.

In California, I don't know. Eighty-seven dollars a gallon.

STU: Pretty much in California.

GLENN: I mean, it becomes, you know -- this is what ian Fleming.

I have a searchlight from the Suez Canal in my office.

Don't ask me. I tried to keep it quiet from my wife. Because every time she sees it. She's like, what the hell did you put -- anyway, it's a searchlight from the Suez Canal in World War II.

And it's missing the internal spinner that was created by a magician in Egypt, at the request of ian Fleming.

If it it wasn't for ian Fleming, I'm not sure we would have won the war.

Sincerely. Ian Fleming, the guy who wrote James Bond. Was a war strategist. And thought outside the likes crazy.

His job. One of his jobs was, how do we make the Suez Canal, disappear. Because if you bomb it, or turn it down, we're all done.

Done. We have to have the oil. So his idea. He went to a magician. And said, how do we make it disappear?

He said, we can't make it stap. But we can confuse all of the pilots. (?)

So they had these big ark lights. With this mirrored spinner inside. (?) and they would point it at the planes as they approach.

And the planes would have to veer off, because the pilots would get so confused. That's why we have the Suez Canal. Now we're looking at that very scenario again.

What are we going to do magic men in Washington?

What are you going to do?

CHIP: Well, the Iranians figured out how to do it.Ed is that was them getting involved in Yemen.

Everyone was talking about -- I guess --

GLENN: Why are we in Yemen?

JASON: And why are the Saudis? I'm not saying, not to support the Saudis.

No one is figuring out (?) it's to shut down that strait.

It's right there on the border, of that strait, Bob he will mend em(?) that is the reason.

GLENN: Right. We have an aircraft carrier there?

JASON: We typically (?) do.

I think there's a marine, amphibious ready group, that is nearby. To respond.

But the closer this gets, I would not be surprised, if the Biden administration does not shut down the ground invasion.

If -- if Netanyahu says, no. We're doing this our own way.

GLENN: You think Biden is going there to slow this down.

JASON: Why else with a he go? To show support. I just don't think so. It feels like a full court (?) that's what it feels like to me.

STU: Or at least minimize what they're doing. I don't think you will get them to stop.

GLENN: I hope not.

And, you know, I would be fine with the Israelis saying to the president. We're a little busy right now.

We want to thank you for your little 50, that you brought us from, I don't know. Taverns.

It's great. It's a bowl. We'll put it someplace. We'll never use it. Goodbye. Be very nice go. But goodbye. We've got a war to fight.

The ONLY Trump/Epstein Files Theories That Make Sense | Glenn TV | Ep 445

Is the case closed on Jeffrey Epstein and Russiagate? Maybe not. Glenn Beck pulls the thread on the story and its far-reaching implications that could expose a web of scandals and lead to a complete implosion of trust. Glenn lays out five theories that could explain Trump’s frustration over the Epstein files and why Glenn may never talk about the Epstein case again. Plus, Glenn connects the dots between the Russiagate hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up, and the Steele dossier related to the FBI’s new “grand conspiracy” probe. It all leads to one James Bond-like villain: former CIA Director John Brennan. Then, Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, tells Glenn why he believes his former boss Brennan belongs in prison and what must happen to prevent a full-blown trust implosion in American institutions.

Rumors explained: Is Fed Chair Jerome Powell OUT?!

After rumors spread that President Trump would soon fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Trump has said that he's "not planning" on it right now. But is it possible for Trump to fire him? Will he resign? And how is the Fed Chair even chosen in the first place? Glenn and his head researcher Jason Buttrill explain ...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Well, last night, I was rapidly looking the lie some of these rumors, on X.

Pretty incredible people on what's going on with Jerome Powell and the fed.

What the heck?

I was actually popping popcorn and watching this. It was so crazy.

GLENN: So it's just the rumors, that he is going to be stepping down?

JASON: Well, yeah.

Yeah. Anna Paulina Luna. Congresswoman. She was saying, it was almost imminent, that he was about to be fired. Actually fired.

There were other rumors saying, well, we're not sure about fired.

But he's considering resigning.

GLENN: Yeah. You know why.

JASON: We were like, what the heck is going on?

GLENN: So do you know why?

Do you know why he's resigning? Any guesses? I mean, you had popcorn out. I would love to hear what you have come up with.

JASON: So there was the CPI stuff coming out. The interest rates going up.

We know that the President wants interest rates to come down. I'm assuming that is what the deal is, and there's some sort of internal battle going on.

GLENN: Well, and the president can't fire the Fed chief. Okay?

So the Fed chief is the one that nominated. The federal reserve is the biggest crock of bullcrap I've ever seen in my life.

It's nothing, but the five biggest banks. Okay? And you know which ones they are. They're the ones that keep getting bigger. And everybody else is falling to the wayside.

So the Federal Reserve is the arm of those five banks.

Okay?

And they suggest, who the president can select from.

So the president can't say, I don't want any of these guys. I want this guy. Can't do it.

He has to take a look at the list that all the banks have put together. Is. Say, pick from this list, Mr. President.

Did you know that?

JASON: It's kind of how Iran chooses their next president.

GLENN: It's exactly. It's exactly that way. Except, this religion is all about the almighty dollar.

Okay. So he can't -- he can't pick on his own. But the president has a right to pick one, you know, every term. If it comes up in his term.

The president wants this guy out. And I think he's been really, really bad.

Because he's been wrong on almost -- on almost everything. But show me the -- show me the Fed, you know, the guy who the Fed was right ever.

So he can't fire him. But he wants him out. Because he wants interest rates dropped.

And, you know, the jobs are coming back. Things are coming back.

But interest rates keep coming up.

And the -- and the interest rates, if we keep our interest rates high, we have a harder time borrowing money for our debt.

And it just gets more and more expensive for everybody all along. So the president wants him to back off interest rates. But the Fed chief believes that that could cause more inflation.

Which I think he's right on that one. And I hate to say he was right on anything.

Because I don't think he was ever right.

Makes me question myself. When he's like, well, I think he might have a point on that one. But the president is like, no. He can handle it.

I want them down. I want cheap money again.

He refuses. So what has the president done?

The president can only fire him, with cause!

So what do you do when you can only fire somebody with cause, and you want them out.

You find a cause, and this one is easy.

So the Fed has been the one leading the way saying, we can't keep borrowing money.

We've got to have some fiscal sanity. Right?

This is going to kill us. We have to keep these interest rates high, because you are borrowing too much money. And maybe this is the only way to stop you.

So we got to keep it high, because you've borrowed too much money. And how many times has he testified in front of Congress? We've got to cut. We've got to cut. You can't keep spending like this.

Okay? Well, did you know that the Federal Reserve, with our tax dollars, the five biggest banks, a/k/a the Federal Reserve, is redoing their offices. To the tune of two billion dollars!

Now, I don't know what kind of wallpaper they need there.

But that seems like a pretty hefty renovation, especially when everybody is looking at cutting things. And you're lecturing me about spending money. So they get money from the government, okay? They're telling us, stop spending.
Stop borrowing.

Except, okay. What you've borrowed. I need $2 billion of that, to redo our offices in Washington, DC.

Excuse me?

Why don't you do that yourself. Okay. I think banks maybe have some money.

So they're borrowing that money, and there's $700 million over.

So it's $2 billion. $700 million over budget. And they're still not finished.

And the problem is: They're putting in water features.

They have a rooftop garden they're building.

JASON: Okay.

GLENN: I mean, it is -- it's insane. The president now knows, really? You want to play this game with me. I will sit your ass down in front of Congress, and you answer to the American people, how you're lecturing us about spending. And you're putting in a rooftop garden and a water feature in your office. No! No.

So the president is now threatening, I'll fire you for this. You want to quit, now would be the time to quit.

Otherwise, I'm dragging your butt in front of Congress.

You answer to the American people for this. And they will beg me to fire you.

That's what's happening.

JASON: I looked at that a lot.

Because I was like. There's got to be some leverage that the president had, because they can't get rid of.

But that is a pretty big cut. That sounds like a Babylon Bee article. $2 billion.

GLENN: It does. It does. $2 billion, 700 million over budget.

JASON: Oh, my gosh.

GLENN: I mean, and these are the responsible bankers. No, I don't think so.

It just shows, they don't mean what they say. They'll just keep doing it for themselves. You know, if you really believed that America was really on that financial cliff, why would you do that?

You would lead the way and say, guys, we are going to be the only responsible ones here.

We will lead by example.

No renovation. You know what, go to IKEA?

You need a new desk. Go to IKEA, and get a new desk. Well, we have to keep up our image. We're not going to have a country.

So what do you say, we go to IKEA?

Our image should be, we are going to lead the way out of this madness!

That's what a leader would do.

JASON: So, Glenn, I still don't think I get this disconnect between Trump and Powell on -- we know Trump wants to lower interest rates.

Powell is standing back and saying, basically, he doesn't want to do it.

Is he trying to undermine President Trump on this?

GLENN: President Trump thinks so. President Trump thinks so.

I think so, to some degree.

I mean, I'm worried about inflation.

Look, you know what happened. Do you know what's happening with yap?

JASON: What's happening with Japan?

GLENN: So what's happening with Japan, is Japan has always had this really amazing image of, we're solid. We're absolutely solid.

This is target to crack. The foundation.

1989.

Let me go back to 1989.

This was the crown jury trial of the global economy.

Back in 1989, you probably aren't old enough to remember.

All of a sudden, Japan owned everything in America. We were just becoming Japanese, and everything was being purchased by Japan. Kind of like it feels a little bit like China now.

JASON: They even owned Nakatomi Plaza, Glenn, that Bruce Willis had to save -- they owned everything in every '80s movie!

GLENN: Oh, yeah, they owned absolutely everything.

Okay? And the -- things were so insane in Japan. The grounds of the imperial palace, in Tokyo, on paper was worth more than the entire value of the state of California.


JASON: Wow!

GLENN: Okay?

So their land. Everything just shot up. And so they had all of -- they were flush with all this cash.

And people believed that Japan had suddenly, you know, cracked the formula for, you know, eternal prosperity.

That's the problem. Then it all started to fall apart. And the asset prices. That they had mortgaged against.

Okay?

They had borrowed. Well, the imperial palace was worth more than California.

That doesn't make any sense. You wouldn't mortgage it like that. At least long-term. I will do this real quick, and pay it off.

You would never, ever mortgage, because you know that's inane. Well, nobody ever wanted -- and it seems in governments, nobody ever wants to believe that this is just a fluke. Okay?

So the asset prices collapse. The stock markets plunged. And for three decades, they have gone into this very polite political coma.

Okay? Economic coma. And so the central bank did something radical. They were the first ones to set your interest rate at zero. They lowered the interest rate. They made money so cheap, it was nearly free. Zero percent interest. Sometimes, they would pay you to take out money.

So the -- they had negative interest rates. Can you imagine that? Now, you're not fixing the problem. You're just printing wallpaper to cover the mold. All right?

So they've done this for decades.

Now their debt is I think 260. Or 280 percent of their GDP.

I think, what is ours?

100?

80 percent.

Something crazy. 120. You never believe back.

The death threshold is usually 120, 140.

They're 260 percent of their entire economy is debt.

That's not a crack. That's a fault line.

So this week. Or was it last week? Things started to creek and grown in Japan.

And the government bonds, which are like our treasuries. Is this getting too complex.

Are you following this still?

JASON: Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. So their government bonds.

They were the safest investments on earth.

One of them. Okay?

It's us. Japan, Germany.

They started to fall.

Hard. And when bond prices fall, interest rates were the easily go up.

All right?

So they borrow all this money.

260 percent of their GDP is borrowed. Okay?

So they borrowed all of that money. And they had it at like 3 percent interest. Whatever.

2 percent interest.

And they were paying people.

2 percent.

Well, all of a sudden, the cracks started to appear. And people were like, I'm not sure this is stable at all.

And then the belief of the system started to -- to go away. So people started selling their Japanese bonds.

Once they do that, now the yields have to go up.

What happens when yields go up?

What happens when interest rates go up? For a government. You have to pay more interest on your debt!

Okay?

You add two or three points.

Just imagine, you have an adjustable rate. Okay?

This is a government having an adjustable rate. Except, they have 260 percent of everything they make, in debt!

And it's all leveraged.

And now, their adjustable goes up two, three, four points.

You're not able to afford that anymore, okay?

So massive problem.

Because what it really means is. People don't believe in Japan.

They know the con game is now over.

And investors are saying, you know, I want a whole lot more in return.

Because I just don't believe you anymore.

And it's not just Japan's problem. This is not a neighbor's house on fair.

This is -- imagine we're all living under the same roof. This is the neighbor's apartment, on fire.

We're all under the same roof. We all have the same foundation. And so when this happens to Japan, you should pay attention. And I'll show you the ripple effects in just a second.

GLENN: Okay. So now if Japan -- that means there's a stampede out of Japan.

And people are starting to look and reprice the risk of their money.

Now they're like, wait a minute.

The most stable. You know, if you're driving a car and it is the safest car in the world and all of a sudden, they just start blowing up on the highway.

You're like, I don't think that's the most -- that's the safest car on the highway.

And if that's the safest car, what does it mean for the car I'm in?

You know what I mean? So now, this is going to push US interest rates going up.

Which makes our mortgage rates go can up. And our car loans more expensive. And the national debt. Which is already costing us $1.2 trillion a year, just in interest.

Now, they can't sell their treasuries. People are skittish on treasuries. Maybe they come to the United States, but they're not so far.

They're getting out of the Japanese interest. Or the bonds there.

Japan has to pay their bills.

What do you do when you have to pay a bill?

And you don't have any money coming in.

You don't have enough money coming in. What do you do?

You sell something. Right? You sell your car. You sell something that you have of value.

Well, what do they have? What do they hold of value? US Treasuries.

So now, we are trying to sell our bonds, for our new debt, they hold our old debt.

They're saying, hey. Anybody want to buy this debt? Because I have to sell it. Fire sale. What do you give me for it?

Okay?

Which makes that debt more attractive, because they can get a better deal there.

Which means, if we want to have new debt, we have to raise our interest rates. Which means, we pay more for interest for our mortgages and everything else.

And it floods the market with bonds, crushing the prices, skyrocketing the costs for us.
And causing even more trouble, in other countries, that have US bonds. Because they start to look and go, nobody is buying these bonds.

Well, of course not. You have two countries. The two stablest countries besides Germany.

You have the two stablest countries now selling US Treasury bonds.

Okay? Really, really bad.

Now, let me add this on.

Germany is now having to pay for their own army.

And so they said, they're going to borrow money.

To build the army.

And they're going to lower their interest rate. So they can borrow more money. All right?

And now, the German bund, which is -- you know, like our Treasury. That's now starting to fall apart.

Well, Germany has some assets, they can sell.

What do you think that asset might be that they want to sell?

US treasuries.

We have been playing an extraordinarily horrible game.

This is why I believe the president wants somebody else in charge of the Fed, because the Fed can say, we're lowering the interest rates.

Because he's got to get more money into the system. So people can spend money, can start businesses. Borrow money.

Get things moving, so we can increase the amount of taxes that we collect.

The more people money -- the more people make, the more taxes we collect.

So he's like, we've got to grow the economy. And the only way we can grow the economy is to lower the interest rates.

But at the same time, interest rates around the world because of what's happening with the bonds is going through the roof.

We are in a very -- we've never been in this position before.

Where did this term come from and how should we understand it? Journalist Alex Newman joins Glenn Beck to break this down and how it impacts the world as we see it today.
