Glenn gives THIS WARNING as Osama bin Laden's letter takes over TikTok

Osama bin Laden's "Letter to America" is going viral on TikTok and to Glenn's surprise and disgust, young Americans are PRAISING it. TikTokers are saying it opened their eyes about America and made them rethink terrorism and 9/11, and now they're urging others to read it. And unsurprisingly, it's also connected to the anti-Israel, pro-Palestine movement. "They haven't been taught about 9/11, or anything else," Glenn warns, "and they're looking at terrorism as legitimate now. Thanks, China."

GLENN; All right. So, first of all, you know, $10 billion. Do you remember when that was real money?

Apparently, Biden yesterday went ahead and freed up another ten billion dollars for Iran. Now, let's remember that Iran just said, death to America.

Is -- is not a slogan that we chant.

It's policy.

Here's the State Department, asked about, you know, their -- they're a terrorist state. What are they doing?

VOICE: When they do use it, and they use $1 million to buy medicine of this money, then that freeze up another million dollars, that they would have spent. They would have had to spend on this -- you know, without -- without the --

VOICE: I understand.

VOICE: And they can use that.

VOICE: So I understand the argument.

I don't agree with it. And here's why.

If they were sitting on that $1 million, they would use it for their destabilized activities to defund terrorism and deny people. That's the point I make.

To improve $1 million of, I'll say, medical transactions of the Iranian people, we believe those are benefits to the Iranian people, that they would have not otherwise gotten.

GLENN: Okay. So that's good.

So we just -- this is insanity.

Meanwhile, Nikki Haley wants everybody's name. The government. You need to register your name, when you go online. Apparently, with the government for national security reasons.

Cut four, please.

VOICE: When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media accounts. Social media companies, they have to show America their algorithms. Let us see why they're pushing what they're pushing.

The second thing is every person on social media should be verified by their name.

That's -- first of all, it's a national security threat.

When you do that, all of a sudden people have to stand by what they say, and it gets rid of the Russian bots, the Iranian bots, and the Chinese bots. Then you will get some civility, when people know your name is next to what they say.

VOICE: Accountability.

GLENN: Okay. So I'm actually for this, if it's not run from the government.

If private companies say, you have to verify your name. We have to know who this is.

That's fine. Private companies can do that.

But we share too much information now with the government.

So it's a government agency, almost.

And I don't want the government dictating. And I certainly don't want the government looking into the algorithms. I don't mind if it's an open source.

But not given just to the government. And I think that's what she was suggesting.

STU: Maybe. I don't know. It's kind of difficult to tell, what she's suggesting exactly.

I mean, the policy seems to be, she said it was when -- the first thing she would do when she got into office. Obviously number one. She's obviously thought about this a lot. It's not like a whimsical statement. And number two, it seems to have some government interaction.

Because why would her being in office have anything to do with it? It was just some private policy.

GLENN: Correct. Correct. I don't know.

STU: That's a weird take.

GLENN: Yeah. It is.

STU: I think you're right. If everybody had their name by their social media. And I think Nikki is right.

It would make social media conversations more civil. That's true.

GLENN: And we might be able to get rid of the bots. That would be good.

STU: Yeah. And we might be able to get rid of the bots. Although we've seen, that was Elon Musk's number one priority when he took over Twitter, and he has not done it. So, I mean, I think it's also very hard to do.

GLENN: Okay. So last thing is, I don't know if you've seen the streets of San Francisco, but they don't look like they used to.

First of all, it's the absence of all poop. And the second thing is: It's -- the streets are lined with communist China flags. I mean, when you watch the motorcade come in.

STU: How. How is this happening?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know.

When Khrushchev came, we didn't line the streets with Russian flags. That would have been a warning sign to us, that we were losing the country.

But that's what happened yesterday.

But California is so screwed up.

There's a new report out. This is from the Washington free beacon. Since 2017, California has spent more than $4 million of taxpayer's money on surgical sex changes and cosmetic gender-affirming enhancements for 157 prison inmates.

Including four dudes, on death row. Breaking that number town, since 2017, when California became the first state to pay for prisoner's transition surgeries.

California spent two and a half million dollars on -- vaginal. Fake vaginas, for 35 male prisons. Thirty-five.

STU: I would have had more of a problem, if you didn't know how to pronounce that.
That would have been the deserving part of that.

GLENN: Yeah. Anyway, hundreds of thousands of other dollars on fake breasts, laser hair removal, and facial feminization.

Eleven male inmates have received breast implants that have costed more than 180,000. Two have received facial feminization surgeries for $184,141.

Sixty-nine males have gotten laser hair removal for a total of 224,000.

Forty female prisoners have had their breasts removed for a total of more than $1 million.

Now, California has no limits on the type of procedure that trans prisoners can request. And to date, it has in line, a thousand petitions. From prisoners.

So this is just the beginning. Its limitless care, which kind of goes against California's health care for inmates. For instance, dental care. Strict limitations. Including, not allowing root canals on back teeth. They won't pay for any the economic tooth restoration or replacement, or they won't treat oral ulcers. But they'll give you a new vagina. The cost of limitless gender affirming care is growing every day. Corrections agency officials this year requested 2.2 million in new funds, just for gender-affirming care.

So this is -- this is a real problem. California is pouring into this absurd system, while their streets are covered in human waste. Used drug needles. Zombified drug addicts. This is insanity.

But I think we swore that word off yesterday. Didn't we?

I can't say. This story is insane.

VOICE: I don't think it means what you think it means.

VOICE: I think you're right.

VOICE: But even more insane are the dangers of this type of enabling that it brings. Minnesota just settled with a transgender man, who claims to be a woman prisoner named Christina, who will now receive a massive payout of almost $500,000.
And will be allowed to move from the male prison, where he should be placed in the state's women's only prison in Minnesota.

So he's -- I mean, you know, he's going to have access there to gender affirming health care. And also real women.

Hey, no matter what he says. You know, no matter what gender I am. I used to be a man. Always a lesbian. You know what I'm saying?

I only want to have sex with women. Born a man. Now a woman.

Born a lesbian. Always a lesbian. Don't judge me. I was born this way.

Oh, wait. No. That's not accurate anymore.

It's fluid.

I'll get back you to.

The trauma that women are now experiencing as men, who are convicted of horrid sex crimes. They're entering the prisons.

And it is swept under the rug or ignored. There is about a month or so ago, a woman in California, whose name -- her name was Linda.

She volunteered her free time by visiting incarcerated women in the women's prison.

One of the inmates that Linda got to know, mentoring, was forced to room with one of these transgender men. After Linda began asking too many questions, I guess. Her visitation rights were terminated due to, quote, significant safety concerns.

Linda remained in contact with the inmate.

And the things she shared with my staff are extremely concerning. This is from a California women's prison.

According to Linda, after her visitation rights were terminated, she sent an appeal letter criticizing the prison for the actions that took place. Later, the inmate, Linda was mentoring, claiming she was being forcibly removed from her jail cell because her roommate suddenly came down with a case of COVID.

And there was no place to put her, except the whole. Where she slept on cement.

We found this a little hard to believe. One of my producers reached out to the prison. And prison officials confirmed it.

Meanwhile, the transgender inmates are being treated with kid gloves.

In another email sent to Linda, after the transgender inmate had complained about Linda's mentee being uncomfortable with him using a device that widens things up down there.

The prison staff opted not to remove the transgender roommate. But instead, removed Linda's mentee.

So after requesting the removal of a man, claiming he was a woman. Doing things that were very uncomfortable for Linda's mentee. That was ignored, and then retaliated against.

All it took was for the transgender inmate to complain one time.

One time. And it was over.

We are being played for fools.

And I would like to say, this isn't normal.

But again...

VOICE: You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
