What a show And it all revolves around something called Krink. What is Krink? Something you must understand if you want to understand the world that we live in.

Here is the podcast.
Let me tell you about relief factor. Have you ever noticed how you can get used to almost anything? A car that pulls a little to the left, a phone with a cracked screen, a door that sticks if you don't just lift it just right. You don't like it, but you adjust, you compensate, and eventually it just becomes normal, even though it's not. A lot of people do the same thing with pain.
They just try to get used to it.
Chapter 2: How does Jonathan Turley interpret the War Powers Act?
But if that discomfort is being driven by inflammation, then accepting it is as normal as driving a car with a check engine light on and just turning the radio up when you start to hear knocking. My question is, are you one of those people? Relief Factor was built to go after that root issue.
It's a daily supplement designed to help your body address inflammation, so you're not just managing the symptoms and hoping for the best. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more.

Chapter 5: How can aspiring singers participate in the contest?
How are you? How are you? I am great. It is great to have you on your book. Ragin' Republic is fabulous. It's just really, really good. How would the founders have looked at the situation in Iran today? Well, they would not have looked kindly upon it. You know, the framers divided the power over war between Congress and the president.
And so under Article 2, Section 2, the president declared the commander in chief. But under Article 1, Section 8, Congress alone may declare war. So the framers wanted to make it difficult to go to war. They didn't like foreign entanglements. and they divided the power accordingly.
The problem is that we haven't had a declared war since World War II, and the Congress has largely evaded its responsibility by passing resolutions, the authorization of the use of force, and the courts have largely deferred to the political branches. So in looking at this issue, you know, part of the question is, is the president acting
according to established authority the answer is yeah i mean in the sense of the interpretation the modern interpretation of the constitution not quite if you look at the original intent but there's no question that he is using the authority used by past democratic presidents including president barack obama i mean i i've actually been somewhat
Chapter 6: What insights does Glenn Beck provide on the legality of military actions?
I'm amazed by the comments of people like Nancy Pelosi, Senator Blumenthal. I represented members of Congress opposing the Libyan war unilaterally launched by Barack Obama. There was no claim of a threat against the United States, imminent or otherwise. It was a regime change attack on the capital city, on the Libyan military. We lost that case.
But at the time, Pelosi said no authorization is required for President Obama. And Blumenthal actually praised the unilateral attack. Both of them have come out this week expressing horror at the thought that a president can commit this type of attack. So here's what I want to ask you. It's my understanding.
I know I'm oversimplifying this, but it is my understanding under the current reading of War Powers, the president has to file the paperwork and say to Congress, I've notified you early. I'm filing this paperwork. We are engaged now in hostilities. And he has 60 days, right? But he can then say... At the end of 60 days, I need another 30.
So he can actually go 90 days before they actually have to do anything. But the problem has been not a single president has ever filed the paperwork, and Congress doesn't insist on the filing of the paperwork. So the clock never starts, correct? Well, that is a part of the problem. The War Powers Act has always been contested by both Democratic and Republican presidents.
Some of the restrictions on a president's in carrying out these types of initial combat operations, has run against the grain of Article II. And presidents have said, you cannot require us to go through these steps. You have the right to declare war. But presidents have always asserted the right to respond to what they consider to be threats to the national security.
And courts have largely deferred to presidents in that sense and deferred to Congress in taking steps. But taking the War Powers Act at its face, 60 days is ample, very likely, for this operation. And that's the reason why today you have Senator Kaine and others putting forward a War Powers resolution to cut that period down and to say, we hereby order you to stop all combat operations in Iran.
The problem with that is it's a tough sounding resolution until you get to the final line. And the final line says, nothing in this section restricts you in dealing with imminent attacks. Well, Every attack now is imminent. Every attack we launch is preemptive. I mean, the Iranian government is firing missiles randomly at other countries. So the question is, what does this resolution even do?
And can't the president veto this anyway? I mean, he could pass both the House and the Senate and then get to his desk and he can veto it, can't he? Right. And the other thing is that it just, I don't even think it will pass. I think the interesting dynamic here on the Hill,
is to see how many of these members are willing in the middle of combat operation to say, even symbolically, even though it's sort of a paper tiger, you better stop now. But the other combination with that, the sort of companion to that, is that there's also a vote this week scheduled to fund Homeland Security and TSA.

Let me bring Jason in.
Jason, the war is expanding. England and France, they're now sending, France I think is sending an aircraft carrier. Who knew they had one? England is now getting involved as well. Why is this expanding? It's expanding primarily, I think, because you apparently were exactly correct pretty much in everything. And this is from Politico, actually. Not in so many words.
I don't think they said Glenn Beck, but basically they did. Right. Okay. But they're expanding also, not just because I guess I'm correct. We're going to get to that Politico story here in a second. But also... Because they're seeing the bigger picture or do you think it's because of what is happening on the ground and people getting hit? Why is England and France, why are they involved?
Is it because they're seeing the bigger picture? So I think that's where it's leading to. The bigger picture is definitely where it's leading to eventually. And it behooves Iran to make this a larger conflict because that makes it end quicker in their view. To do that, they're striking at multiple different bases that they say enabled us and or Israel to attack them.
So they're looking at places where we might have taken off or sent weapons. So they're looking at specifically for the Brits. They targeted the Royal Air Force Base in Cyprus. That is now why the Brits are sending over a destroyer. A lot of people are criticizing the Brits for doing this way too late. But it kind of shows you maybe NATO. How useless NATO is? Yeah. Yeah, it's useless.
Look, here's the thing about Europe, and you need to understand this.

Chapter 8: How does the podcast encourage audience participation in the contest?
If you're going to take on Islam, NATO is not going to be an ally. They're not. They have to placate because they are overrun with Islamists, not just Muslims, Islamists. And they know this means trouble on the streets. And so they're not going to be able to take clear stance. They're just not. It's why NATO, we got to get out of NATO. We just have to get out of NATO. But stay with me.
By the way, if you're a new listener or haven't joined us for a while, thank you for checking in with us. Jason Buttrell is my chief researcher, has been chief researcher for... over a decade, I think now. And he does something called the Torch Insider Show, which happens during this show when I go into break. and reset for the radio show.
He's giving more information that I just don't have time to fit into the show, so you get a really full look of the day's news. But stay with me here, Jason, because I want to go through this Politico article, and maybe you can help go through some of this. I'm just going to read the article.
President Donald Trump's latest attack on Iran takes a big economic bite out of one of America's chief rivals, China. I told you yesterday that if you didn't understand the big picture, you're not going to... Everybody was arguing about whether we should go into Iran or not and what this means for Iran, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I said, the Iranian part of it is very important.
But if you don't understand CRINC, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, that axis power is called CRINC. If you don't understand that... and what this is going to do to crank and that access power, you don't understand the big vision of what Donald Trump is doing. Now listen to what Politico said now.
Over the span of two months, Trump administration has removed the leaders of two countries that both shared China as one of their most important crude oil customers. Although China buys oil from all nations across the Middle East, Iran was second only to Saudi Arabia as its supplier last year.
Almost all of Iran's exported oil and more than half of Venezuela's went to China last year, which remained one of the only purchasers of goods from the two heavily sanctioned nation. The two countries combined represent, listen to this, 17% of China's overall oil purchases, a meaningful share for the world's largest importer of crude oil. By the way, they're very green.
Did you hear what the news is? Between Venezuela, which I told you when we went into Venezuela, this is all about Russia and China. It's not about Venezuela. It's about taking this hemisphere and kicking Russia and China out. I told you on that day, Cuba is going to fall. They're not going to get the Russian support. It's going to fall because he's taking this hemisphere back. Donald Trump is.
And this is going to hurt them when it comes to oil. Then I told you last week, did you see what happened with India? India was going after the shadow fleet. What is the shadow fleet? Those are all of the oil tankers that are out, that are not supposed to be out, that are taking sanctioned oil and shipping it over to China. Well, India is now going after the shadow fleet? Yes, as of last week.
