Chapter 2: How does the SAVE Act aim to protect election integrity?
We're all just too busy, too active to react anymore. But what if that ignored ping was from your security camera? Picture this, somebody's breaking in, but you're giving a huge presentation at work, you're at the movies, you're on a flight 30,000 feet. You'll see the footage in a couple of hours, but by then it's too late. That's why I have SimpliSafe.
I've chosen SimpliSafe for my family because it is a customizable whole home security system backed by 24-7 monitoring agents that can act even when I can't. SimpliSafe is so confident that you're going to love it, they don't lock you into a contract, and they back it with an anti-theft guarantee. Other security companies will trap you. SimpliSafe earns your trust every single day.
It's no wonder millions trust SimpliSafe and why U.S. News & World Report just named SimpliSafe the best home security system once again in 2026. Right now, you can get 50% off a new system by visiting simplisafe.com slash back. That's simplisafe.com slash back. There is no safe like SimpliSafe. It has been the frozen tundra of Michigan. We got rain today.
But, you know, the interesting thing is, I was just down in Florida, in the free state of Florida. I got some observations. Spending some time in Fort Myers and the fantastic affiliate there, 92.5. And I got a chance to listen to that stage. What a great place. Man, Florida is red. And, yes, it's conservative. But even bigger than that, it's on fire. It's booming.
In ways that states like Michigan and, of course, People's Republic of California and some of these others just aren't. And I've got some observations of that I want to share with you today. Because there's things that I think we can learn from the standpoint nationwide, state by state, that I think are really going to make a difference. And, you know, I just... It was hard.

Chapter 3: What role does Georgia play in the national political landscape?
It was almost hard to come back. It's no wonder why folks are moving there in droves and businesses, too. In fact, we're going to talk with somebody a little bit later on in the program, one of the mayors there who's seeing it happen in real time right now. And he's going to kind of give us a little bit of an insight on that.
We're going to talk a little bit about, obviously, what's happening around in the situation that continues to develop. History being made. Some of the pieces that you may not even heard. We've got some pieces of polling that I want to talk about, too. In fact, there's some things that came out in the last day or so that I think help us make a little bit better sense of what's happening.
At least politically. And that... That is one of the biggest pieces, specifically as we get into the midterms here and folks really look at what we'll talk about Texas, too, what just happened there and more. But that's something that I think has to be examined. And then, of course, the War Powers Act, the vote that took place yesterday. But what about the SAVE Act?
And did they ever find Nancy Guthrie? That's just how fast the news moves now. And I hate to say it, but it's just coming at you every day. I say on my program, it's like drinking from a firehouse. You can't, it's just never, we never have enough time to keep up with it all. What is it doing to our brains, by the way?
I mean, what is the human brain meant to take in all the information that we're getting on a daily basis? And how do you survive that? Really, it's about making sure that you cut through the noise. You get straight to the heart of the matter or what matters most. We're going to attempt to do some of that today, and I know that Glenn does that on a daily basis. So we'll dive in.
First, I want to start with some of the latest polling that's come out. And I talked about this yesterday on my program in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am at Wood Radio, News Radio 1300 and 106.9 FM.

Chapter 4: How does Operation Epic Fury impact Iran and its allies?
And I noted this because I've seen some of this flying around and I've seen the conversation, probably the same that you have. All the MAG is done. You know, there's no support for what's happening in Iran right now. It's just the end of the world. You've seen it. It's doom and gloom. Sky is falling. Chicken little black pill. It's all the things that you see.
And it's all coming from the same people. By the way, it's every subject. You ever notice this? It's every subject, every story. It's the same thing. And I mean, I don't know how to shake it other than to tell you that If you're watching it, if you're seeing it happening, you don't necessarily feel the same way, don't let it infect you.
Because that's exactly what some of this is, a little bit of a mind virus. I like this. So if I can, pull the curtain back, that, and explain how that works. But first, let me give you the polling. So this is essentially... And there's several different polls, by the way. This is aggregated. I've seen this put together in a number of different places.
But it was my initial gut reaction when I saw some of this coming out. You know, I don't necessarily think, and it's Democrats, it's rhinos, it's some of the black-pilled doom and gloom folks that have walked down this road. Now, I'm not, I will tell you this at the same time. I'm not, as I mentioned these things, I'm not discounting That we are walking in very, very critical times.
I'm not going to discount that we're in a crucial moment here.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Trump's support among Republicans?
Not just in the history of our nation. As we come up to the 250th year celebration here on July 4th. We're in a very precarious moment. I don't have to tell you that. You can feel it. Everything that's led us up to this point. And it's really hard sometimes. You have to force yourself to go back and think. And even I want to talk about this stuff on a daily basis.
But you have to force yourself to go back and confront it. Think about where we are and how we got here. Think about what the last four years was like. I mean, it was a dumpster fire. That's putting it lightly on the daily. The Biden administration, whoever was running on open, I don't know, at the end of the day, they were doing everything they could.
And it warps speed to undo everything Trump had done in his previous four years. And to be honest with you, I think that's the only reason why Americans woke up and felt it. Got involved because it happened so fast. Usually these progressives, they use the slow and steady wins the race strategy. It's slow and over time, like a frog in a boiling pot of water.
They just gradually bring that heat up. And then eventually you turn around. You got men in the women's dressing rooms. You got men, grown men with hair on their faces trying to change in the locker room with your wife at the gym. And they're trying to go in the bathroom with your daughter at the grocery store.
is enough is enough and the American people stood up and said I can't do this anymore that's how fast it flew anyway don't forget how far we've come it is my conviction that we are in this moment for such a time as this, that the president, Donald J. Trump, his life was spared for the exact intersection in history where we're at right now. There's no doubt about it.
Not when I saw it happen back July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania. And then when we find out the specifics of what actually happened and how, as my good friend Pastor Lorenzo Sewell likes to call it, the millimeter miracle occurred.

Chapter 6: How does living in Florida compare to Democrat-controlled states?
You know, we're just millimeters away from a completely stark different reality that we, I don't even want to imagine what it would have been like. Why do I mention all of this? Because it's important to lay the groundwork as we look every day at what we faced and how fast the Trump administration is moving, what they're doing. Will they break things? Will they always get it right?
Yeah, there's probably going to be some times where maybe, maybe they make some mistakes. Why am I willing to forgive that? I'm not a Trump apologist, by the way. I just see the bigger picture. And that's why I just reminded you of it. There are some folks that are missing the forest for the trees in this situation.
I think there's some folks that are missing the 30,000-foot viewpoint on all of this. There are some folks who I agree with on quite a bit of things and policies and principles. We agree quite a bit on a lot of things, but they're missing. And what they're missing is a lot of the thinking they do, a lot of the determinations they do, Well, it plays out great in the classroom.
But when you get into the real world, all bets are off. So it is no doubt in my mind that we are where we are at right now only because of the grace of God. And folks, if we acknowledge that, I think we've got to acknowledge that wherever we go forward will be only But by the grace of God. And this is something that I think we have unplugged from through the years.
And hopefully as we celebrate 250 years here in America, we can be reminded by that and get back on track. So why do I bring all of that up? The polling is important. MAGA Unity polls show Republicans opposed to Trump's Iran strikes are loud, but small minority. In fact, I got the details here. I want to dig into the numbers and tell you why I think this is important, why you need to hear this.
So you don't get sort of pulled by the nose like I'm seeing happen in so many different ways for so many different people right now. Don't get pulled around by the nose, by social media, by algorithms, by billionaires who want to and insist on shaping the way, the world the way they want it to go.

Chapter 7: What are the latest developments regarding Congress and misconduct reports?
No, don't do that. Lock in. So let me get to those numbers. I'm going to break it down for you, come up here in just a little bit and tell you why I think this matters and what happens next as we also do some breaking news here on the Iran situation. We'll be back. Quick break. Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program right after this.
If you've received a notice from the IRS, do not ignore it. The IRS doesn't issue empty warnings. They will take action if you miss their deadlines. This is especially true if you own a business and you're behind on payroll taxes. The IRS can shut down your business, seize your accounts, even go after you personally.

So we've been hearing about how unpopular everything is. In fact, there was a poll that came out the other day that said this whole thing is unpopular. It's only 27% of the people.
And I thought to myself, you know, that's actually a good warning sign for...

Chapter 8: How are the actions in Iran connected to China's interests?
For a lot of these folks that are saying, yeah, this is the same old, same old. He said no more foreign wars and no more this and no more that. He's doing the same thing. He's just in the Ocon. All these people jumping ship on the Trump administration. And I want to prove to you just with the polling numbers, that initial poll, why that's not the case.
Think back to Iraq and Afghanistan and all of these. Others that they, through the years, pushed us into. There was a drumbeat of war that you couldn't ignore. And the polling for that war, for sending our kids off, et cetera, the polling was much higher. In fact, that was the point of this poll that came out. It was kind of the subheadline of it.
Well, this thing's not even as popular as the Iraq War. But it's because the CIA and the government and everybody that does what they do behind the scenes along with the mockingbird media, etc. They were busy. They were busy behind the scenes getting you all frothed up, foaming at the mouth, ready for war. That's not what happened here.
If we're going to believe what the Trump administration tells you, I have no reason not to. This was an opportunity that presented itself. They were in diplomatic negotiations. Iran comes to the table and says, hey, we got all this. We're going to make 11 nuclear weapons with what we got now. Almost like they're bragging about it. We got your number.
And so can you imagine what that was like for folks sitting on the Trump side of things in the United States here? Iran thought that that would scare us away. In fact, that actually scared us into action. They realized we had to act. And when we got the intelligence that the old Ayatollah was having a bomb brunch, well, it wasn't getting bombed with mimosas.
It was something else that was raining from the sky that day. It just happened. And imagine the hubris those folks had to have. It just so happened that they were able to make that strike and take out, what was it, 40, 50 people that day? It's incredible. So, yes, they constantly have war plans and plans of attacks and counterattacks and all these things they have to do planned behind the scenes.
That's obvious and that's wise to do. That's prudent. But at the same time, this thing came out of the blue. That's if we're to believe everything they told us. And, again, I don't have any reason not to. But what I will tell you is this. That, to me, tells us it's not the same old, same old, what you're watching here.
In fact, there's a different, the Don Road Doctrine, we've got other military, and don't forget to talk about this too, military operations, he's got different strategies. Trump, it seems like, if we're watching history, at least recent history, what he did in Venezuela, goes in, surgically, strategic, pulls the trigger, And moves on. Gets the job done.
Most folks, I think when they're asked about that, they're not really opposed to that. Now, you don't want protracted. You don't want boots on the ground. You don't want Americans in harm's way ever. But you definitely don't want Americans over there fighting. And I get that. I understand that. I feel the same way. But I don't think that's what we're watching right now. And only time will tell.
