Chapter 1: What led to America's coordinated attack on Iran?
You just had to have that late-night gas station burrito, didn't you? You told yourself it was a bad idea, but you're like, I'm an adult, I make good decisions, and then you walked away because nobody makes it quite like they do at 11.47 p.m., and now you're standing there waiting for change, and the door swings open, and the guy with a knife decides this is his big moment.
The only thing you have right now is that big burrito. You could throw it at his open mouth, hoping that maybe you'd put him in the john for a while so you could get out, or... you have a non-lethal option right there in your back, and that's the Burna Launcher. It fires powerful chemical irritant projectiles designed to disrupt a threat and create distance without using deadly force.
Now, tear gas, if you've already eaten the burrito... Maybe you'll come prepared with that yourself. You know what I mean? But if not, try a Burna launcher, byrna.com.

Chapter 2: How does Glenn Beck view Trump's objectives in the Iran strikes?
I have been studying and in prayer all weekend for today's show. I understand where we are as a society, where you may be, where many of your friends may be, and how divided we are. And, you know, every time I would turn on television and I would watch, I would see somebody who was saying on one side or the other, you're a traitor if you don't believe this.
You're a traitor if you don't believe that. And I didn't find that useful at all. So I'm not going to put you in that position where you're a traitor if you don't agree with me. I want to answer a few things today for me, but I want to show you how I thought about these things so you can then do your own homework and you can decide.
I do not want to convince you one way or another, because quite honestly, I don't know how this is going to end. Nobody does. God does, but I don't. And so I'm not I don't think we should do anything like this because yeah our side whatever okay, I Wanted to answer a couple of questions actually four of them one Is this a just war using the just war theory is does this even fit the category?
More importantly actually what should be number one is is this America first? Okay Then is it a just war? One of my principles is I am not for these forever wars. I don't think this is a good idea. I don't want to get involved in everybody else's business. That ties to the first two. And then the last one, is this a distraction or is this big vision? What is this all about, really?
I want to try to answer those four questions. We also are going to take you to the Middle East with Jack Carr and see if Jack can give us any kind of perspective on what he sees and what happened. Also, I want to talk to the former spokesperson for the IDF because there's some amazing claims coming out. I don't know if they're true or not.
I don't know if you heard about the dentists that put tracking devices in some of their teeth. I will tell you this. The United States is not to be messed with. Second on that probably would be Israel. But we're in a different world now. Anybody who says, I'm not going to give them my iris scan, I appreciate that. I do.

Chapter 3: What insights does Jonathan Conricus provide on the military operation?
I don't want them to scan my iris. But anybody who thinks they can just fall off the grid... I think this weekend shows there is no place to hide. God help us if this technology ever falls into hostile hands, because there's no place to hide on Earth. There is no place they can't kill you. Easily kill you, apparently. We'll talk about that.
We're going to start with a kind of a tick tock rundown on what happened this weekend and what is still going on. What are our allies doing? What is the rest of the world doing? What does this mean to China and Russia? We'll talk about that. And let me first tell you about Rush Tax. Tom wrote in, and this is what he said about Rush Tax Resolution. He said, I own a machine shop.
It's outside of Milwaukee. I've owned it for 16 years. We make precision parts with tight, tight tolerances and no margin for error. That's the kind of work I understand. What I don't understand is the IRS. You're not alone there, brother. We fell behind during a rough stretch. I lost a major contract. I had to keep my guys employed, and the payroll taxes... got away from me.
Next thing I knew, I was looking at a levy on my business accounts, the money that I used to pay employees. Then I heard about Rush Tax on Glenn's show. They took over, they filed the right paperwork, they got the collections paused, and negotiated an arrangement I could actually afford without shutting my doors. This is the best of all worlds.
When you mention my name, Rush is going to provide a free IRS transcript investigation, a service other firms typically charge $500 for, often without even confirming that they can help you.

Chapter 4: What perspective does Jack Carr offer as an author and military operator?
Rush offers this upfront and for free, and they'll only take their case, your case, if they can promise that they can help you. Get a Rush Tax Attorney. Protect yourself now. 877-554-RUSH. 877-554-7874. Go to RushTaxResolution.com. All right.
All right, let me bring Jason Buttrell in, who is the host of our Behind the Scenes Insider Podcast, which coincides with this show, to give more information. And today, you're going to be really busy today in the breaks because we can't get to all the information. We've just spent about 90 minutes talking about in highlight form, so... Jason, I want to take this bit by bit.
First, let me see if I can take us through kind of a tick-tock on what happened. We all found out Saturday. The president was here in West Palm, and all of this was conducted here at Mar-a-Lago. And he gave a speech early in the morning where he said, we have launched an attack. And we struck 500 plus targets across Iran, including missile sites and command centers.
The the supreme leader, the Ayatollah Khomeini, was killed in that air campaign. We didn't find out until later on Saturday. They didn't verify that. But he and 40 leaders in a. in something that should tell you, man, there is no place to hide. We knew exactly where this guy was, the CIA did, and we gave the information to Israel and said, you want to go get that guy? Go get that guy.
And they bombed precision and, uh, it, it was remarkable what happened. The other thing that people are talking about is the primary school in Southern Iran. It was hit in the attacks and scores of children were killed. Um, that just heightens the, you know, the crime, you know, these are, these are war crimes. No, I mean, accidents do happen. There's nobody that is trying to avoid those things.
I mean, look at the precision strikes we're making.

Chapter 5: How does the media portray the Iran strikes and their aftermath?
Do you really think that we actually targeted a school? I mean, just think this through, gang. What would our motive be for that? To be the pariah of the world? I mean, even if we had evil in our hearts and we're like, yeah, and then we're going to kill all the children, you would never do that. You'd never do that openly, especially on the first day.
And that's assuming you had evil in their hearts. Our military does not have evil in our hearts. We are not targeting schools. This is war. And the way this is being fought is for the very first time in my lifetime that We have a president and you can disagree with all of this and the way he's fighting, but we have a president who knows how to carry a very big stick. He is.
I have always believed that. I was explaining to Ricky today about the fuel air bomb. Fuel air bomb is one of the most devastating things we have. It sprays a mist of fuel over the battlefield, okay? And then it's lit on fire. And what that does, you know, if you're standing on the battlefield, you look up suddenly and the whole sky is on fire.
But what that does is it takes the oxygen out, literally out of the lungs of every soldier on the battlefield. So you suffocate and then burn to death. And I have always felt, I mean, that's such a horrible thing, but I have always felt that metaphorically, that's the way you have to fight war. If you're going to fight war, there is no such thing as a fair fight.
You want to make it as unfair and lopsided as possible. If you're going to do it, overwhelm. And the fastest way to get through war is to have every person on the planet go, take the air out of their lungs. Oh my gosh, don't ever mess with them. That's how you keep the peace. But you don't keep the peace by intentionally killing children in schoolhouses.
So that's pretty much what happened on Saturday.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the strikes for U.S.-Iran relations?
You want to give me some color and play-by-play here on this, Jason? Yes. So as everyone knows, we've been watching this military buildup for quite a while now. And just to give some context on some of that military buildup, Producer Matt, throw this up super quick for everyone to see. This is a breakdown that was done of all the military hardware that was put in theater. It's absolutely insane.
What would you consider... By the way... If you're listening, we'll try to describe it on radio, but today is the day you should have Torch, glenbeck.com slash Torch, because we're going to be showing you a lot of stuff that is a little overwhelming when you see it. All right, go ahead. And to put that to even more context, Bruce or Matt, throw this map up there.
This shows the firepower of that entire arsenal in terms of missiles, combat aircraft. It is significant, more than we've seen in a very, very long time. To say that, Jason, is one thing. Because I don't think we saw this in Iraq, did we? We did for the invasion. It's very similar to, at least in terms of air power and naval power. What we're missing here is the ground combat element.
I would not be surprised, though, if there is some kind of special forces element that are on the ground. We won't get confirmation of that, I'm sure, but that would not surprise me. May I say, when anybody says we won't have anybody on the ground, Just hear this. I find that highly unlikely because if there is nuclear material, we are going to have to get it out. You don't just leave that there.
If there is nuclear material, if there are any kind of missile material that is left, We will have to send ground troops in just to secure it and to get it out of there. Not necessarily to fight, but to secure the nuclear facilities. And hopefully, if there are any centrifuges left, to secure all of those and either destroy them or get them out. Go ahead.
There's also the matter of just how air to ground combat works. Usually, and we saw this the last time when Israel and the United States struck the nuclear targets a few months ago, they had Israeli special forces on the ground picking targets out.

Chapter 7: What conclusions does Glenn Beck draw about the future of the Middle East?
I would assume there's something similar to that. But we also, Glenn, I don't know how much time. Do you have a 12-hour radio show today? There's also the idea of what happens to a lot of these radicals as they try to flee out of the area. My guess is they're probably going to go to Iraq. And that's a whole other discussion of what happens in the fallout. Iraq could become the next Iran.
I mean, we may just... I mean, this is why... Anybody who was definitively saying, this is the greatest thing ever, or definitively saying, this is the worst thing ever, they're fools. Do not listen to them. This could be really, really good. This could be really, really bad. What you have to ask is, do you trust the person who is in command of this?
For me, and I'll explain this later, I happen to believe the president has earned my trust that he is not a forever war guy. He knows how to handle the military in a very effective way and use it quickly, deadly, and get the hell out of there, which is the way I want our military to be used. So I'll get into this later, but he has bought the credibility, at least from me. Maybe not you, but...
I think you should look at that. That's what you should be looking at. Does the president have credibility enough? Has he bought enough credibility to at least for you to say, I'm not in the situation room. I don't know all of the information, but I trust this guy has the best intention.
If you believe that, then you have to just let go of the outcome for a little while, at least, and say, let him do his job. We hired him to do this job. He, to me, has proven he can do this job, and it's a much bigger picture. So relax, but also don't write a blank check of support. because things could go bad and that would mean things have got to change.
Remember, we went into Iraq and it was looking really good and then it got horrible and they never changed strategy and it turned into that nightmare. So, you know, this could turn into a nightmare, but it also could turn into something good. Look for the principles and then take it

Chapter 8: How can listeners prepare for potential repercussions from the strikes?
One day at a time. There's no reason to write a check to support or to be against anything other than right now. What am I feeling right now? How is this going without floating principles? Your principles have to be locked in. but your support does not have to be, or you're being against does not have to be it.
That changes with the conditions on the ground, but your principles must never change. And I'll outline those, uh, here in a little while. Um, but let's go back to Jason here. Give me 60 seconds. We'll go back to Jason so he can show us some more of what happened. Uh, relief factor. At some point, your kitchen counter starts looking like a, you know, a supplement aisle.
You've got bottles of pills for joint wellness, bottles of pills for inflammation, uh, Bottles of pills for absolutely everything, okay? The general phrase, general wellness.
You're taking a little of this, you're taking a little of that, hoping that some combination will finally make a difference, and half the time, you know, the stuff you're taking doesn't really even help, and it may not even be very good as a product itself. And it becomes its own kind of chaos. Relief Factor was created to simplify all of that.
Instead of juggling a handful of different products, Relief Factor combines key ingredients designed to help address inflammation in very specific ways. And nobody else has put all of these combinations together quite like Relief Factor has. It's one plan, one routine, one clear focus. Over a million people have tried it. I have used it. I use it, still take it every day.
Two-thirds of the people who try it go on to order more, and you'll know whether it's going to work for you in about three weeks. That's why they give you a three-week quick start. Try it for three weeks. If you see no difference,
at all then you don't stop taking it you don't need to order it again but if you were like me and i'm like i think i see a difference and i did over because i then i about a month and a half into it i'm like i don't know if this is working i'm stopped taking it i stopped taking it and all of it came back it works 800 for relief the number 800 for relief or go to relieffactor.com 10 seconds station
All right, Jason, pick it back up. Where do we go next? So I want to throw this map up to show where the assault started and where we're likely to go to next. So Matt, throw this map up really quick. So this was the initial attack. As you can see, it was the strike on the Supreme Leader's compound. Now, that was an operational dictate depending on new information that happened at the time.
I don't feel like they wanted to strike at the moment, but they found an opportunity that they really could not pass up. And that was a multitude of large officials meeting at the Supreme Leader's house. So it started there. But as you can see, some of these other squares that were popping up, these are IRGC locations, command and control type areas within Tehran. Now, this area right here,
