Glenn: 'If THIS goes wrong, we are at World War III'

China is stationing 6 warships in the Middle East, the U.S. Navy is increasing its presence in the area, and Iran might have a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is allegedly trying to delay Israel's ground invasion, reportedly to free more hostages. But Glenn believes there may be other motives. Glenn reviews the latest updates as the war appears to escalate even further and warns that we're entering dangerous waters: "If this goes wrong, we are at World War III."

GLENN: According to reports now, up to six Chinese warships are currently stationed in the Middle East. China's People Liberation, Army, the CPLA, reported engagement in a joint military exercise with Omani Navy while visiting Oman. Again, it's like, you know, when -- when Mexico got their hostages, you know, or their people out of Israel, and they use their Air Force.

I thought to myself, I thought, I didn't know Mexico had an Air Force. Same thing with Oman. Didn't know I found it on a map.

And they have a Navy. It's cute. It's cute.

It's probably a little like the Cayman Islands. And the British Virgin Islands. Or they use British ships.

Because I don't think they're British anymore.

They got rid of those occupiers. I'll tell you that now.

So the Navy escort task force. Is now by Kuwait. Which is right there, near Iran.

Which I think is really, really -- no. Seriously. It's -- now.

My question is: Why has Israel not responded.

What is happening there?

Now, I've got a couple of ideas, on this.

One, the New York Times is reporting, that the US is advising Israel to delay the Gaza invasion.

For needed hostage negotiation.

Now, apparently, two Americans got out.

The -- the Palestinians have returned to American hostages over weekend.

I love it, that we're working with Qatar. Because, you know, they're -- I mean, they're just the number one funder of the Muslim Brotherhood.

And that's big -- big funder and founder of Hamas.

So that's -- that's really good. I hope we gave them some money. In exchange for these hostages.

I don't know if it's about the hostages, as much as it is a very convenient way for the United States to delay any kind of ground invasion, until all the media turns on Israel. Because that's what's happening. They're already saying.

They haven't done anything yet. And they're like, they're such a bad country. They're going to kill all these people.

And if they would have acted last week. Or the week before, you would have seen, more sympathy.

But I think we are -- I think this is a complete game. That the White House is playing.

To keep Bibi Netanyahu and the Israelis from not striking.

However, there is another possibility.

Obviously, you know, I'm not in the rooms.

Advising anyone.

But I did think, are they just preparing to go to the head of the snake?

Now, I don't think so. But we do know that they -- that Israel. I mean, Iran now has one nuclear weapon.

And are just about to develop its second nuclear weapon.

So is it possible that they are just going to target Iran.

It's clerics, or its nuclear facilities.

Now, the nuclear facility is supposedly buried so long. So deep, that you're not supposed to be able to knock it out with any kind of conventional weapon.

The army seems ready to go, they've been ready for a few days. Aerial bombardments, meant to prepare the ground.

Are meeting with diminishing returns now at this point.

And the widely accepted reason over in Israel. Is international pressure.

Plus, the long train of visiting dignitaries. And possible negotiations.

The problem with the ladder is that Hamas will probably go for the drip, drip approach. Meaning to drag out more time. And the media will continue to turn on Israel.

If they're going to target Iran, most likely they'll target the nuclear installations. What was the reactor?

They did this in like 1981, I think. And, you know, they went after the reactor. And it was good.

Now, maybe if the main operation is successful this time, you'll see the Mossad taking out a few top scientists and military leaders as we have in the past.

But, you know, Gad Saad said, that this would take incredible. I'm quoting testicular fortitude.

And I don't know. Most are saying, it can't be done. Different from 1981.

Blah, blah.

It's difficult. But they all said it couldn't be done back in 1981, as well.

You know, the Tom Cruise guys, they do exist. They're probably as short. But not as good looking.

And most of them are probably Israelis.

So, you know, they kind of have this don't miss with us kind of image.

But we'll see.

If they can pull it off.

That means the testicular area may be made out of steel on Bibi Netanyahu.

I'm not really -- I'm not really sure.

But we will continue to watch this.

Let's see. There's a couple of other things.

PAT: That would majorly escalate this thing however.

I think they understand that -- I think we understand that. And I'm sure the administration is strongly recommending they don't do that.

GLENN: What are they going to do?

PAT: I think they should do it.

But I don't know.

They -- you know, they are the head of the snake.

GLENN: Right.

PAT: And that's the only way to put a stop to this.

And so, but it does escalate things. So it's --

GLENN: I think pretty much anything they're doing.

PAT: It's a big decision.

GLENN: When I saw that China.

Now, China was there already.

But to have them move their ships in, shows, you know, that's Iran.

And Russia.

So there is an axis of evil.

And those three are together.

And --

PAT: With us.

GLENN: Against us. Against us.

PAT: Right. But they're all in the same general vicinity.

GLENN: If this goes wrong, we are at World War III, quickly.

PAT: No doubt. Yeah, and there's all kinds of things that could go wrong. That somebody makes a mistake. There's a hair trigger by somebody, and it's on. It's a really dangerous situation.

GLENN: So you have the rest of the world, however, turning.

And you look at what's happening around the world.

England is going to turn against Israel.

Because I don't think England will have a choice.

I mean, these countries have allowed themselves to be laid waste. By so many Islamists.

It's not Islam.

It is Islamists.

People who believe that the Koran must be implemented as the highest source of law.

Those guys are crazy.

I know some Muslims that are not crazy.

But they're reformed. And they would be the first -- the Islamists would behead.

So they're the kind of people that shut their mouth, you know, in their own community, because they don't want to be dead. But look at what happened over the weekend. In London. It was not good. It was not good.

And you're starting to see moves. There was a -- they won't even give the details of the terrorist strike in London. Did you hear about this, Pat?

PAT: No.

GLENN: So in London, first of all, the BBC, will not say that Hamas is a terrorist group. The BBC.

And that's really kind of not good.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Fueling more anti-Israel and anti-Semitism.

Because they're -- they -- they won't say that the Palestinian, Hamas was wrong.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: They're saying, that it's -- well, it's a charity. It's a charity.

Sure it is. Sure it is.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: There was -- there was a hit in London, I think it was.

Let me see if I can find it real quick. There was awe hit, where the authorities won't even say what it -- what exactly happened. They said that it was -- yeah. Here. Pro-Palestinian terror attack.

Alleged terror attack has already been carried out in Britain by an asylum seeker, waiting to avenge deaths in Gaza.

According to the telegraph, the man who came to the country, in 2020. Look at that. It's 2023. Okay?

Told police, he had carried out the -- as yet, undisclosed action for Palestine.

Newspaper reports, the case cannot fully be revealed for legal reasons.

But that the suspect is now in custody, after being arrested. He said, he had done it, because Israel had killed children in Gaza.

Now, that's a bizarre thing.

He's already carried out, his mission. But they won't say what it was.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: What does that -- what kind of -- what is that?

Questions have been raised over wide details about the incident have not been disclosed. But security sources, told the publication. They may be downplaying it. So they don't have a repeat attack. Or copycat attacks.

Nations around the world are on high alert. So-called wolf attacks by extremists motivated by the worsening situation in the Middle East. In Brussels, Belgium on Monday.

A -- a man with a gun, downed two Swedish football supporters before being shot dead by the police. He was motivated by his Palestinian love. Because they're just such lovely, charitable people. He was just giving away bullets.

So he gives the bullets away too fast, for some people. Who are you to judge?

Who are you to judge?

So you have the terror threat. All over Europe. Going up.

How are you -- how is France going to handle this, if Israel goes in, and bombs Iran?

Or does more with Hamas?

You're going to have all these western countries, saying, stop it. Stop it right now.

Because they'll number trouble.

So you will, what? Sacrifice the Jewish state.

Is that what happens?

PAT: That's foretold somewhere too.

GLENN: Somewhere.

PAT: I'm trying to think.

GLENN: Yeah. It's weird, wasn't it?

PAT: Was it Michael Buble, that foretold that?

GLENN: I think -- Fly Me to the Moon, where all the nations gather around.

PAT: Yeah. That's what it was.

GLENN: Something like that. They're all against Israel or something.

How to interact with TRUMP-HATING family members this Thanksgiving

Sunny Hostin of “The View” recently argued that people may be justified in refusing to see their Trump-supporting relatives this Thanksgiving because he’s just that bad. But that’s a terrible message, Glenn says. Politics should NEVER come before family. Glenn responds to a post from BlazeTV and “Fearless with Jason Whitlock” contributor Shemeka Michelle, who is dealing with a similar situation – friends refusing to speak to her because of her support for Trump.

GLENN: So the holidays are -- are such an important time for us to be able to come back together at the table. And there are people on all sides saying, I can't -- I can't get back together with my family.

Let me tell you something.

My family has my traditional family. You know, from way back when I was growing up.

My family.

And now, my family extended and -- and even, you know, with me and my kids.

We've gone through really rough times.

The last few years, have been just deadly.

To my family.

And we are in the struggle of holding absolutely everything together.

And it is hard. But it is worth it, in the end.

My biggest fear, honestly, is becoming my dad. I always wanted to be my dad, in many ways. Because he was always very open-minded. And he was really, really brilliant.

He always questioned everything.

He was very tolerant. And he was hard-working. But in the end, he just became very, very bitter.

And the family -- I mean, he just blew up the family at the end.

And my biggest fear is becoming my father. And I just -- I was awake all last night. Just thinking about that.

All -- tossed and turned for maybe three hours. Just thinking about that.

Because our family is -- we're just having problems.

And all I want is my family to be together.

Be together for the holidays. Be together for Christmas.

And even if we're mad at each other or whatever.

Still, just family is the only thing that you have at the end of your life. That's it.

And so people are now encouraging others. The ladies The View.

At least they disagreed on this. On skipping family Thanksgiving.

Play cut 12.

Let me just play this real quick.

VOICE: Whatever your reason is. I would never let my politics be the reason I don't show up to see my family.

VOICE: I'm going to disagree. I completely understand her point.

Because I really do feel that this candidate, you know, President-elect Trump. Is just a different type of candidate.

From the things he said, and the things he's done. And the things he will do. It's more of a moral issue for me. And I think it's more of a moral issue for other people.

We're just -- you know, I would say it was different when let's say Bush got elected. You know, you may not have agreed with his policies.

But you didn't feel like he was a deeply flawed person -- deeply flawed by character, deeply flawed in morality.

STU: Yeah. They called him a terrorist all the time.

VOICE: They called him flawed.

GLENN: Okay. Stop.

So the going back and forth on this. First of all, if -- if -- no matter which side you're on, I think we can say, it's a moral issue. On both sides.

You can say, it's a moral issue.

He's Hitler. Well, he's not. Well, if you really believe he's Hitler. It's a deeply moral issue.

But it was a deeply moral issue on our side too. Your candidate was for killing babies, all the way up until and in some cases, after birth. There can't be a bigger moral issue.

Your candidate was going after people, because they disagreed with them.

They called Catholics. And parents, showing up at parent meetings. At school. And called them terrorists.

It was a deem moral issue for us too.

You're -- you're mutilating children.

So don't take the moral high ground, that you were the only ones that thought it was a moral issue.

We did are too.

We just disagreed. Now, what does that have to do with me being your father. Or your uncle.

Or your brother?

Your dad?

What does -- what does that have to do with thinking?

Because this too shall pass.

But what won't pass ever, throughout all of the eternities, is our relationship with one another.

We have become so small, that -- that we think that this is the -- this is the most important thing.

It's not.

Do you know who sha Mika Michelle is?

STU: She's on the Jason Whitlock show.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: She posted something the other day. She said, I have a, air quotes, friend who wasn't sure how to hold space for me.

Those are quotes.

As someone who supported Trump. After the election, she stated she needed to protect her peace, and we haven't spoken since. When she comes to her senses, and I know she will, should I welcome her back with open arms?

Because honestly, I'm thinking about giving her the finger, like, F-U.

After we've been through, you sided with baby killers, and those willing to castrate kids.
Go to hell. She asked for thoughts.

And so, Shemika, if I may, I understand how you feel. I really do. I really, really do.

But I think maybe because my family has been divided politically for so long, because of what I do.

You know, it started way before -- you know, it started with Barack Obama.

No. It started with George Bush.

And so I've been going through this the whole time. That I've built in a little bit more armor.

Whatever. Whatever.

It doesn't -- whatever.

This is not important.

Not going to argue with you.

And I'm not going to try to change your mind.

I'm going to try to be a peacemaker.

Last -- one of the holiday. No. It was during the holiday reunion.

There were two members of my family that vote radically different than me.

And see life, radically different than I do.

But I love them. They're good people.

I just love them.

And they were like, you know, uncle Glenn. We can talk to you.

We just want to understand some things.

And I'm like, good. Because I want to understand some things too.

And we just had a really good open conversation, where neither of us were trying to win, we were just trying to understand each other. Because we knew in the end, we will always be related to each other. And I don't have enough family to blow them off.

You know, it's not like my grandfather. I think my who can't understand mother had 18 children. Fourteen of them lived.

And I don't have that. I have two sisters. I have a few nieces and nephews.

I have two grandchildren. I have four children. I don't have enough!

They're all valuable to me. I would ask, and it's -- it will be easier for us because we're -- we're the winners this time.

So it will be easier for us to say, you know, get over it. What's the big deal?

It's still a big deal to people. And you really have to understand, you know, if you've read my book. Propaganda Wars.

You know the brainwashing that's gone on.

I mean, we talk about it, in the book.

And we show you, how to dismantle that in your own life, to make sure you're not a part of it.

You're not spreading it. And it hasn't affected you.

How to find the truth.

These -- these -- actually feel sorry, for not the ones who know what they're doing.

But for the ones that actually believe that they're going to round people up that disagree with them. Because I will be on the front lines. And I think you could probably say this true.

If they started rounding people up because they disagreed. I will be on your side. I will stand with you. I will be with you. They start with the Bill of Rights, and it's in gross ways. I am with you.

I'm for the Bill of Rights. I'm for all of your rights.

I hope you're for all of mine. We're going to disagree on policies. We're going to disagree on how to get there. But my there, should be your there.

I believe all men are free. All men are created equal. You know, you come into this world equal. You leave equal. You leave with nothing!

Except what you've done in your life. And how you lived your life. Who you worship. How you worshiped. Did you serve?

Did you ask for forgiveness? Did you work that forgiveness in your life?

I have more stuff in my life to apologize for than to Pat myself on the back or say, well, thank you. That was a great went I did. I have many more things to apologize for, than any of that. We're all flawed. We're all just trying to figure it out.

We don't want to control people's lives.

Don't miss this opportunity.

Be the peacemaker. Blessed be the peacemakers.

But remember, peacemakers are the ones who stand up for other people's long-term peace. You may have to say things that are true, that are tough.

GLENN: Don't give any ground on truth, but there might be other ways to say the truth, that they can hear it. And you don't have to say everything.

But if you want to be a peacemaker in your life, you have to stand for what is true, universally true.

So others -- our children, our children's children can have peace in their day. That's what it means to be a peacemaker.

But it comes to your family, don't ever listen to anybody who says, don't talk to your family.

That's what cults do.

12,000,000 DEPORTED by a DEMOCRAT? Truth about the freakout over Trump’s deportation plan

Many Democratic politicians and media pundits are freaking out over Donald Trump's plan for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. But if they knew history - even recent history - they would have no reason to fear monger. Glenn heads to the chalkboard to reveal the shocking truth: The president who oversaw the biggest mass deportation operation in recent years - 12,000,000 people deported or voluntarily removed - was a DEMOCRAT.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Debunking Progressive MYTHS About Christianity | Eric Metaxas | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 236

“The liberals hate my guts because I told the truth about Bonhoeffer,” says Eric Metaxas, author of “Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy.” He joined "The Glenn Beck Podcast" to spread the word about Angel Studios' latest film about the German pastor turned coconspirator in a plot to assassinate Hitler. It's a movie, he says, "Jew-hating lunatics" will love to hate, which is why anti-Semites get free tickets. Eric makes the case that Trump is, in fact, not Hitler and explains why Christians should live out their faith in the public square without fear of being called “Christian Nationalists.” Theocracy, Eric says, is “anti-Christian,” but, like in Nazi Germany, there does come a time when the church should oppose a tyrannical state. Church attendance is down, but Eric suggests that just may be a good thing and that perhaps it’s time to consider Bonhoeffer's proposition of “religionless Christianity.” In the end, both Glenn and Eric agree that there is a "warrior side of Jesus,” and “God knows your theology by how you live.”
