Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?

27.47 - 49.994 Glenn Beck

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

50.094 - 53.157 Pat Gray

Glenn Beck is on.

61.287 - 84.981 Glenn Beck

It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week. 888-727-BECK. Great to have you with us. Thanks for being here. President Trump talked about the latest on Iran. Talked about quite a few things yesterday. Talked about maybe becoming the Prime Minister of Israel as well. Get into that and lots more coming up in 60 seconds.

85.822 - 107.314 Glenn Beck

Ask Dad what he wants for Father's Day and he'll say something like, oh, I don't know. I'm fine. I don't need anything. Meanwhile, this is the guy who spent the last 20 years preparing for hypothetical situations that have never actually occurred. He's got flashlights strategically located, extra batteries, a toolbox that could repair a small submarine.

0

107.814 - 125.453 Glenn Beck

He knows three different ways to shut off the water to the house, and he treats bad weather like it's a personal challenge from God, because that's what dads do. They want to feel prepared, which is why I think rapid radios are actually a great Father's Day gift. They're simple, they're practical, and genuinely useful.

125.953 - 146.645 Glenn Beck

You don't need a license, you don't have to have anything programmed, and there are no monthly fees. You just turn them on and start talking. And whether it's for travel, camping, road trips, family events, or real emergencies, they're the kind of thing a dad immediately understands the value of. Because deep down, most dads are always thinking the same thing.

146.745 - 176.702 Glenn Beck

If something goes wrong, I want to be ready. Go to rapidradios.com. They ship really fast from their headquarters in Michigan. That's rapidradios.com. Rapid Radios. Communication redefined. So what is the latest on Iran? Where do we stand? Are we done? Are we going back in? Maybe. It might be over. So maybe it might be over? Maybe. Maybe we're going back in? Maybe. Okay.

177.383 - 181.888 Glenn Beck

When are we going to know? When will we know for sure? Is that not specific enough for you? No, not really.

182.909 - 183.49 Unknown

Two days?

Chapter 2: What are the latest updates on the situation with Iran?

491.694 - 512.62 Glenn Beck

Over a million. Could that be? And I think it was 1.2 or 1.3 million, in fact, dead or wounded or missing. Wow. And then for the Ukrainians, it was 500,000. So you're talking about one and a half to between one and a half and two million people who've been... Between Russia and Ukraine, yeah.

0
0

513.161 - 520.61 Glenn Beck

It's just terrible. It's terrible. And it keeps going. And let's say that report is high. Okay, so 800,000 to a million.

0

520.87 - 520.99 Unknown

Yeah.

0

521.01 - 551.948 Glenn Beck

It's still... I mean, whatever way you look at it. Right. It's really tragic. Yeah. When you think about the fact that we didn't lose one and a half million people between World Wars I and II combined, and they have in the last four years in this conflict, it's pretty sobering. You know, that's quite a conflict. But the president also talked about the next three years yesterday. Cut 16.

552.94 - 571.541 Pat Gray

I mean, you're going to see things that are amazing. You're going to see a lot of amazing things over the next three years for our country. And I'd like to talk more about the economic because we have $18 trillion being spent and no country has ever had anything like that. We have car plants pouring in from Mexico, Canada. They don't want to be there.

571.641 - 575.486 Pat Gray

There's no reason to be there because they want to sell to our market.

575.506 - 588.698 Glenn Beck

We have car companies and plants coming in from Germany, from South Korea, from Japan. coming in by the billions, and they're being built now. You're going to see things that nobody thought was possible.

589.9 - 594.969 Pat Gray

You're going to end up saying he's the greatest president that ever lived. Goodbye, everybody.

Chapter 3: How is the political landscape shifting in Los Angeles?

764.687 - 774.816 Glenn Beck

Because you wouldn't think it would be possible, right? It would seem impossible in the state of Texas that this guy...

0
0

776.559 - 808.499 Glenn Beck

But he presents himself as a Christian minister, and he's out there citing the Bible, or at least his particular translation of it, and what it means to him, which is pretty much not what it means to most Christians. And I think he's duped a lot of people. And it's a little scary to me. In fact, it's a lot scarier. And he has picked and chosen his interviews.

0

809.141 - 823.495 Glenn Beck

And they all work to his benefit, which is really interesting. He's done a pretty good job of that. Yeah, he has. Yeah, he wouldn't, for instance, he wouldn't come on this show. Oh, no way. I don't know that he would pull in the parking lot of this building. No, I don't think so.

0

824.437 - 836.781 Glenn Beck

Because none of those kinds of, none of those lefties will ever go into a situation that is somewhat unfamiliar and maybe a little unfriendly. Right. Maybe a lot unfriendly.

837.382 - 837.743

Oh, bud.

837.841 - 862.909 Glenn Beck

But they'll stick to MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC. He went on The View. He went on Now What's Your Face's Jamie Lynn's podcast. Yeah. And those aren't going to give him any pushback on anything. Nope. You just get to say what you want. They're going to lap up everything he says. And they do. So people aren't going to really hear the truth from him.

863.45 - 884.267 Glenn Beck

Meanwhile, he's ahead of both Republican candidates in polls in Texas right now. I think he's seven points ahead of Cornyn and eight points ahead of Paxton, supposedly. You got to hope that that's because we haven't decided on whether it's going to be Cornyn or Paxton. Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. You got to hope that.

885.125 - 909.898 Glenn Beck

I remember when Ted Cruz was running against Beto O'Rourke, and everybody was afraid that Beto was going to beat Ted Cruz because he was close. In some polls, he was ahead. And then Ted pretty much wiped him out. Absolutely. I don't remember if it was 9 points, 11 points. It was a pretty good spread, though. Ted pretty well mopped the floor with him. Absolutely.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Jeff Bezos's comments on education spending?

3765.026 - 3786.143 Glenn Beck

The one he has never broken. And one that continues even today. Because God's character doesn't change. And what he begins, he sustains. What he promises, he fulfills. And that matters. Right now in Israel, families run into shelters as sirens sound. It's not just a crisis. It's a call to respond for Christians. For Christians, caring for the Jewish people isn't rooted in politics.

0

3786.244 - 3802.849 Glenn Beck

It's not rooted in war or anything else. It's rooted in trust, trust in a God who keeps his word. So we don't stay distant. We step in with prayer and practical help. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground, bringing food, caring for the vulnerable, and reminding people they're not alone.

3802.829 - 3818.013 Glenn Beck

This is what it looks like to align our hearts with God's, to pray, to show up, to care, to feed. Join us in praying for the peace of Jerusalem and for the people who need it most right now. Visit PrayIFCJ.org. That's PrayIFCJ.org.

Chapter 5: How does Jeff Bezos address the issue of billionaires and taxes?

3849.927 - 3881.158 Glenn Beck

Pat and Jeffy for Glenn today. 888-727-BECK. The Department of Homeland Security announced its identification of more than 10,000 foreign students who allegedly work for dubious employers as part of its crackdown on visa work programs. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Over the past year, we've dramatically expanded our oversight of OPT, according to a DHS spokesman.

0

3882.019 - 3912.621 Glenn Beck

Many of these employers include NGOs, non-governmental organizations, engaged in suspicious activities. Huh. We've discovered empty buildings and locked doors at addresses where hundreds of foreign students are allegedly employed. So this gives me an incredibly great idea. Let's invite another 600,000 foreign students from China. Wouldn't that be great? Well, here's the thing. Isn't that an idea?

0

3912.736 - 3918.345 Glenn Beck

What's the thing? We have to do that. Yeah, we do. You're right. You're right. Universities. They'll go out of business.

0

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the current tax system according to the discussion?

3918.666 - 3926.238 Glenn Beck

They'll go out of business. They will go belly up just like that. I don't necessarily like the way you said that, but that's true.

0

3926.258 - 3926.799 Unknown

But it's true, right?

0

3926.879 - 3955.818 Glenn Beck

Yeah. Yes. Essentially, the thought is good. Maybe not the delivery of the thought, but... Oh, I don't understand that particular agenda item by the president. I don't either. I don't get it. But he's really committed to it. He is. He has been and has been. And he doesn't seem to, you know. Not backing off it at all. Kind of doubled down on it. Yeah, he definitely did.

0

3956.098 - 3963.331 Glenn Beck

And that was one of the excuses, right, that the universities would close. And, you know, we find that very hard to believe.

0

Chapter 7: What claims are made about the descendants of historical figures?

3963.492 - 3984.4 Glenn Beck

Yeah, I just don't buy it. And maybe we need to – and maybe, look, it was pointed out to me that perhaps he's doing that to bring them in and recruit them as spies. Oh, okay. So 4D thinking on his part. Yeah. He's got a bigger, deeper plan there. And maybe he does.

0

3984.42 - 3984.861 Unknown

I hope he does.

0

3984.881 - 4006.577 Glenn Beck

I really do hope he does. That would be – That would be good. Yes, it would. Because what we've realized so far is that rather than recruiting them for the CIA, they continue to work for the Chinese government, the CCP. It seems to be working the other way. Send all our secrets back to China. Look, here's the thing. Here's the thing, Pat.

0

4007.479 - 4028.62 Glenn Beck

What's the last time you got your news from a Chinese newspaper? Maybe the same thing is happening there. Maybe. Maybe the same thing is happening there. Maybe they're reporting on all these Americans coming over here to spy on us. Yeah. And they need to be out of the country. Well, we do have 800... Americans. In Chinese universities.

0

4028.64 - 4052.526 Glenn Beck

So it's possible that if they shipped all those back to the U.S., their universities would collapse. They'd just go belly up. They can't do it without that American money in their university system. Speaking of big money, Jeff Bezos was on CNBC. And finally... You've got a billionaire here. You have a billionaire in Ken Griffin who's pushing back a little bit.

4052.686 - 4066.406 Glenn Beck

And now Jeff Bezos is pushing back on things. And Elon has pushed back, you know. The whole time. Yeah, the whole time. The whole time. And they need to be. Bezos was talking about education spending in New York City. Listen to this.

4067.067 - 4074.217 Jeff Fisher

I'll give you an example. The New York City school system. Right. They spend $44,000 per student.

4074.838 - 4085.213 Glenn Beck

Per year. $44,000. That's 30% more per student than other big cities like Chicago, L.A., and Boston.

4085.233 - 4099.613 Unknown

And it's three times more than Miami and Houston. And by the way, New York City doesn't get better outcomes. Listen, let me just say, if we ran Amazon...
