Chapter 1: What are the implications of the Iran conflict on global supply chains?
So right now, everybody's watching the war in Iran, hoping that it ends quickly. But there's something that people are not talking about. Even if it does end tomorrow, the aftershocks are just getting started because the Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted. And that doesn't just fix itself overnight. Ships that are arriving today left ports months ago.
And right now, shipments are backed up and supplies are tightening. And other parts of the world are already feeling the shortages that we haven't fully felt yet. which means what you're seeing now is the beginning. This affects shipping, manufacturing, and eventually medical supply chains. And when the system slows down, medication shortages do follow.

We're going to do an extra probably half hour, maybe even an hour after the show because of all of the news. We have FISA up for renewal.
I want to get deeply into that, but we have Chip Roy on that coming up in just a few minutes, probably about half an hour. Also, I'm going to start the show with what happened with the SPLC yesterday. That is very important. Virginia, what the hell happened there? This is criminal, what has happened. They have literally taken the voice away from about 40% of Virginia.

Chapter 2: What recent indictment was made against the Southern Poverty Law Center?
I believe this. My theory, nothing is proven until proven in a court of law. But if you can create that crisis atmosphere, it does several things at once. It delegitimizes the political opponents. It pressures media to conform. It justifies surveillance and deplatforming. It scares donors and churches and business and people away from the, quote, wrong side.
And it creates moral permission for extraordinary countermeasures. How many times have you heard people try to kill somebody? Well, let's use Charlie Kirk. How many people say it was justified? That's an extreme position, one that Americans have never held, never, except in our very worst times. Now you have people justifying violence. It's justified. Why?
Because somebody has ratcheted up the labels. In an environment like we have right now, they're priming the ground for street mobilization, government action, corporate pressure, selective law enforcement. It's all pushing in the same direction. Now, that's not a revolution. That's the precondition for a revolution. That's legitimacy for war.
If this is true, an organization says these people are dangerous, that feeds or expands those kinds of people. Those people continue to do dangerous things and their dangerous things that they're doing is amplified and it's made to look much, much bigger. Then the press reports the danger. Then the public sees that report. They label and they say, oh my gosh, it's everywhere.
Then, because the people are rising up saying somebody's got to do something, the institutions demand crackdown. The same organization that was pointing out the danger and funding the danger says you've got to do something about it. They're elevated as the trusted interpreter of the threat because they're the ones who found it. This is exactly how societies go from free debate into managed fear.
And once fear becomes the currency, totalitarian habits follow fast. Look at what's happening right now in Virginia. Look at what they did in Virginia yesterday. What do they do? And everybody who voted this way, I saw the people coming out. People who are coming out of the voting booth and voted to take away the voice of 40 percent of Virginia, 40 percent all said the same thing.
We have to stop Donald Trump. That's fear pushing you into totalitarianism and you don't even know it. You label the enemy, you isolate the enemy, you criminalize contact with the enemy, you pressure media, financial channels, you make ordinary citizens afraid of being seen near the enemy. This is what happens every single time. Is that what the Southern Poverty Law Center was doing?
Well, I could sure make the case that The last people that are pointed to and say these people are dangerous are the people who have been pointing out the danger themselves. I will tell you that Anybody who gave to the Southern Poverty Law Center, they are not going to read this the same way.
They're going to say, this is this totalitarian state coming after and trying to silence this group that has done well and done good things for so long. We have to support them even more. Because for a good portion of the country, they're in too deep. And the media will never, ever disassociate themselves from the Southern Poverty Law Center. Never. Never. So what does this mean?

Chapter 3: How does the SPLC's alleged fraud impact public perception?
Communication redefined. We've got too much news and not enough time. Go overtime with Glenn today after the radio show ends only at glennbeck.com slash torch. So one of the good guys in Congress is Congressman Chip Roy from Texas. He is a candidate for Texas Attorney General and would be ruthless, I think, on that. And I really like Chip. But you got to do your own homework.
Let me talk to Chip Roy about a couple of things that are going on in Congress right now. And you can check him out his website, roy.house.gov or Chip Roy TX. You can follow him on Twitter. Chip Roy TX. Okay. Chip, let me start. So many things to talk to you about. Let me start with, let me start with FISA. Okay. FISA is they're looking to renew FISA. And of course we're doing it in the,
middle of a war where you're going to be able to make this case a lot easier. We got people here. You said you voted for a 10-day extension, but you said that you will block a clean reauthorization without significant reform. What reform do you want?
Well, Glenn, remember that this situation was created because of the abuses by the FBI and by our intelligence state in using FISA against the American people. And your audience is very informed, so they know this. You know, they targeted President Trump. They used a different section in 702, but nevertheless, they used 702 to go after the American people.
We have the Arctic Frost abuses where they went after members of Congress, including me. I had my records targeted and I didn't even know until three years later, which is just absolutely insane. And so we're just looking for continued reforms.
Now, two years ago, we had to hold this all up, same game of chicken, where we said, guys, we're not going to give you a blank reauthorization and we need reforms. And we got some pretty good reforms. Big step forward. We went through the Judiciary Committee. We put members of Congress inside the foreign intelligence surveillance courts. We had a significant increase in reporting.
We had more standards on what they need to do. and lots of other things that we put in that bill that made a real big difference. And we've seen fewer abuses. The data we're getting is encouraging. It's trending. But we didn't get a warrant.
We didn't get even something that would tighten in and make clear that if you're going in and you're finding this information, this warrantless surveillance of the American people because you've got this authority under 72 to target foreigners, which that we all support going after bad guys using it, right? That are foreign nationals.
But when you're talking about American citizens, we want to have every protection possible because the government abuses its authority. So we want to see greater empowerment of being able to have more review of what's happening in the foreign intelligence surveillance courts. We want to have greater penalties

Chapter 4: What are the consequences of the SPLC's actions on American society?
So I agree. In fact, I've told some senators who won't move, I said, guys, if you want to save any vestige of the filibuster, you better save the talking filibuster, the actual you got to go work for it filibuster, And by the way, here's another idea. Why not on this shutdown of DHS?
Why don't Senate Republicans say, look, if you have a shutdown and we have a bill for a continuing resolution, that's it, then it's 51 votes. What's wrong with that? You want to have a sort of shutdown prevention act? If a majority of the Senate wants to fund government at current levels, Great. You can do that at 51 votes.
Why don't we do that instead of right now we're going, oh, I guess we got to go past something because the Democrats won't let us fund Border Patrol and ICE. It's ridiculous. Let me see. Let me go here. You introduced on Monday, reintroduced the Mom Donnie Act. What is the Mom Donnie Act? Why did you do it? Why did you name it after Mom Donnie?
Well, look, I think Mamdani is emblematic of one of the major problems we have in this country. We've been importing people who do not share our values and then allowing them to not only ascend to some positions in corporate America, but now increasingly in leadership positions, in this case, mayor of our largest city.
Look, under our current laws, we are able to reject people who are affiliated with a communist party.
united states supreme court has upheld that as far back as 1952 a supreme court opinion they said yeah you can do that we're a sovereign nation we can choose who comes in and who comes out and we can denaturalize and remove people who are carrying out activities that are undermining the united states if you're a naturalized person or if you're on a visa or whatever i think we ought to expand the zone of how we define that not just quote communist party
let's be broader in terms of marxism in terms of what we're dealing with the islamist movement in terms of the chinese communist party let's lay that out and say look if you're affiliated with these entities and you're anti-american and you're undermining western civilization we can reject you and if you came here on a visa or if you've been naturalized we can denaturalize you and send you home because we're importing people who want to destroy our way of life you and i will die on the hill as you guys that you and i have talked about on your show before
in defense of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. People are saying, Chip, this is unconstitutional and it's against the First Amendment. No, what I'm saying is if we invite you here, this is our country, okay? We built this country on Judeo-Christian principles. We built this country on the Constitution of Western civilization. If we invite you here, you gotta tell us who you are.
We need to know who you are. And if you're affiliated with entities or if you're espousing beliefs or if you're promoting Sharia law or things that are inconsistent with our way of life, then we should not import you. And by the way, that's why you should include Nazism too. Fascism, Nazism. So it doesn't look like it's one side because who's going to argue again? You want to import Nazis?

Chapter 5: What steps can we take to achieve happiness and prosperity?
I want to be happy. I want to be prosperous. Well, what steps are you taking? And unfortunately, now you can say, I want to be prosperous. I don't have to be rich. I just want to be able to have a nice life for my family.
Chapter 6: Why is understanding and guarding the system important?
And you're taking all the steps, but you're taking the steps that I took when I was young. Those steps don't work anymore because the world has changed. So what are the steps you have to take? Unfortunately, you have other steps you have to take that I didn't necessarily, that weren't imperative for me. And that is guard the system. Understand the system. Clean up the corruption.
Get the bad guys out of the way. Why is Donald Trump spending so much time on Europe and the Middle East? Because he knows those two things. One is draining us, along with our own corruption here. One is draining us of our resources. We're constantly having to worry about Ukraine. Why should we worry about Ukraine? That's their responsibility. Why should we have to worry about the Middle East?
Well, because it's oil. Quite honestly, it's oil.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of the Iranian conflict on global fuel prices?
And they're the biggest exporter in terror. We're never going to get out of the Middle East unless we solve the oil problem, unless we solve the terror problem. So what is the problem with oil? We're not producing it ourself. Great. Produce oil. Now we have other steps. It's not working at your gas pump because the oil we produce, we have to send overseas because we can't refine it here.
So we have to build refineries. That's a whole different story. What is it you have to do? What are the steps you have to take to fix it? It's easy to say the president needs to fix the country. He needs to fix the economy. Well, how can you do that? You have to have oil.
Chapter 8: How do political decisions affect housing prices and cultural loss?
You have to invest in future tech, which is AI. You have to reshore manufacturing. All of that stuff takes time. And if we don't start looking at everything that we have to do that I never had to do as a kid because I was living off what my parents built. That is over. Now we have to build new things. You have to change your actions.
And what's really hard is you have to do it and not lose faith in the system overall. And that system's not the old things that we built. It's the idea that all men are created equal and they should be free. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about leaf filter. You can learn a lot about a house just by watching how water affects it.
For example, when it rains, does it flow the way it should, or does it pour over the edge, pool near the foundation, streak the siding, and turn a small problem into an opening scene of a much, much bigger one? Because water is patient. It doesn't need drama. It just keeps showing up until something fails. That's why I tell you about Leaf Filter, L-E-A-F Filter.
It's a gutter protection system designed to keep leaves, pine needles, and debris out so water can move the way it's supposed to. No constant clogs, no seasonal ladder routine, no wondering what's happening up there every time a storm rolls through. Sometimes the best home improvements aren't flashy. They don't sit in the driveway. They don't light up the living room.
They just quietly prevent expensive headaches year after year after year. So start protecting your home with Leaf Filter. It's America's number one gutter protection system.

Welcome to the program. You know, we're just talking about Canada, trying to show how we need to look deeper into all of our problems.
Instead of saying housing prices are so high and it's whatever, blame whatever. It's that. Why don't we look deeper into things? You know, people are growing angry. Housing prices, affordable health care, loss of culture. Why? Why? Because of the political decisions that were made to, in many cases, to import huge population growth. And that drove up the price of everything. The loss of culture.
Why was that decision? Are we talking about that? And are we talking about what are we going to do to get that under control? No. Instead, we just argue about you have a right to be a country without a border. Gas prices, fuel prices, heating prices, even groceries. Well, blame it on Trump because of the Iran war. Well, why? Why did he go to war?
Because we had terror and he said he was going to stop all foreign wars. No, he never said that. This is a possible solution to be able to get ourselves. I mean, to fix the oil prices in America, at least you have to produce your own oil. You have to refine your own oil and you have to stop being held hostage by crazy people in the Middle East. So we have to go over to war all the time.
