How YOUR life could change after a U.S. dollar COLLAPSE

Now it’s not only President Biden teasing our ‘New World Order.’ A top Iranian politician recently said the same thing. So, what does that mean for America? Glenn explains the new alliance of DANGEROUS countries that’s currently forming and how it could COLLAPSE the U.S. dollar. Plus, why a new, digital currency would result in the American lifestyle coming to a SCREECHING HALT.

GLENN: Okay. I'm going to go over some of the stuff that I went over last night in the Wednesday night TV show. But I find, this is so critically important for you to understand what America will look like, I believe, soon financially. I want you to know, I pray that I'm wrong. I really do. But there is just too much hard evidence out there, to put your faith in man. We have to find our faith and our hope in God. What no one is really talking about is the new alliance with Russia and many countries around the world. This is going to do two things: It is going to collapse our U.S. dollar, which will be replaced by a digital, programmable currency. If we enter a Cold War, good forbid, a hot war, what is known as the American lifestyle will come to a screeching halt. And I'll explain that here in a minute. There are things that due to time, I'm just going to have to assume that you either know, because you read my book, or you're some kind of a financial geek. If you do not know them, learn them. Get a copy of my book The Great Reset. I don't care if you get it at the library. Go back and listen to my podcasts. You can find those for free and watch my last few Wednesday night specials on BlazeTV.com. They're also available, some of them are also still available at YouTube.com. Just search for Glenn Beck and Blaze TV. A couple of things you need to know. I'm going to assume you do. Modern monetary theory. That is printing money, as much as you want, and to control spending, meaning controlling how people spend that money to curb high inflation. That's how we're operating now, modern monetary theory. ESG. It's the public/private partnerships, that will punish those who will not play the game on global warming, social justice, or being told who and how to hire in your own business. Things are moving so quickly now. I want you to listen carefully to me.

There is coming a time, where I don't believe I'll be able to say the things in which I believe. I will never say the things, that I do not believe. But you will need to know these things. You're going to need to do your own research, remain calm and peaceful. Most importantly, listen to him in whatever way he speaks to you. God is speaking to people, right now. And you know what I mean. He is speaking to you if you are listening, through coincidence. My wife hears his voice through scriptures. She, you know, is reading, and she's like, there's the answer for me. Through dreams. Through promptings. But he is telling you, what you are supposed to do. If it's violence, you know that's not from God. If it doesn't make sense or it's really something you really, really don't want to do, most likely it's God. But do whatever you are hearing, do it with exactness, and do nothing more. Just wait. Here's what's coming: The global financial system is about to fundamentally transform. And no matter how it all shakes out, the dollar will be gone. And whatever replaces the dollar, our lives will not be the same. Your purchasing power will be weaker than it is today. And I believe we have a matter of months, not years, before this takes place. I don't know. I'm always wrong on timing. But I believe this could happen by the end of the year, depending on how things go, in Russia and Ukraine. So what's happening? Well, let me just give you a quick history. We've already gone through two radical changes, just in the last 100 years. Bretton Woods I. Happened in 1944. That's where the global community, pegged all international currency to the U.S. dollar. It became the gold standard. Because we had all the gold. Everybody gave us gold for World War I. We had it. We kept their gold for safekeeping, and the dollar was pegged to the price of gold. That was Bretton Woods I. Bretton Woods II happened in 1971, and, again, when the global financial -- and, again, the global financial system changed. When Nixon took us off the gold standard.

Now, the dollar was still the world reserve currency, but it wasn't backed by anything at all. No gold or any other commodity. It just carried some mysterious value. Well, the world began to question the dollar. And so what we did, we quasi-pegged it to the price of oil. When inflation became bad. And this is really important. When inflation became bad. Meaning, we printed too many dollars, because we wanted to spend more, we corrected it, from the 1970s, into the 1980s. In the 1980s, under Reagan, Volcker raised the interest rate to almost 20 percent. Which hurt us here in America for a time. But it gave the world confidence, that the dollar was solid, and we would never let it spiral out of control. But in 2008, we did the opposite. And by 2010, between 2010 and 2014, they knew, we were bailing everybody out. We were printing money to make everybody happy, at home. To make the stock market go up. And everyone -- everyone knew this was wrong, and wouldn't work. I should say, everybody in the elite sector. They knew it wouldn't work, and so the world began to look for a new financial system. That system has been found. It has been developed. And the time to turn the key to start the engine is now, or very soon. We are now in -- and if you look this up. If you think I'm a conspiracy theory or whatever. Look it all up. Go to the IMF. Go to the Federal Reserve. Just do a Google search for Bretton Woods III. And only look at the original sources. The Treasury, et cetera, et cetera. No one is talking about this. But a few years ago, I did a chalkboard where I said, the last thing that will happen is a trust implosion. Where the world will no longer believe in anything anymore. They won't know what to trust. And when that breaks down on all levels, it would be the end of capitalism, as we know it. And it would usher in something that Joe Biden just announced.

BIDEN: You know, we are at an inflation point, I believe, in the world economy. Not just the world economy. In the world. It occurs every three or four generations. And now is the time when things are shifting. There will be a New World Order out there.

GLENN: Okay. Stop. A New World Order. A New World Order. This is one of the biggest announcements in my lifetime. And people pretty much yawned through it. A New World Order. Don't go to anything, you know, nefarious. I mean, I think it is nefarious. But you don't have to go there. Just understand what he's saying. It happens every three or four generations. Roughly, 100 years. We're actually on a cycle that is about 50 years. Bretton Woods I, in 1944. Bretton Woods II in 1971. But that is what he's talking about. That it goes -- it happens every couple of generations. Where we change our financial system. Now, he's talking about a New World Order. But one of our enemies and one of Russia's new allies is talking about it as well. Iran's enemies, I'm quoting, Israel and the United States, have an expiration date as the New World Order is upon us. This is coming from General Hussein Salami (phonetic), which, I mean, you've got a name Salami. Anyway, he's the commander-in-chief of the Iranian revolutionary guards. Now, that's the one that we're thinking about delisting, as a terrorist organization. Again, they have an expiration date as the New World Order is upon us. They've been meeting with Russia, China, and everyone else. There is a new axis power, that is being formed. Okay. Now, this is not just about our dollar. It's about everything that we know. And how it works and how we work. The free market will be replaced with stakeholder capitalism. Don't let the second word in that confuse you. It is not capitalism. Companies will not be free to make their own decisions. They will be coerced to follow the ESG playbook. Don't believe me? Again, here's Larry Fink.

LARRY: Well, behaviors will have to change. And this is one thing we're asking companies. You have to force behaviors. And at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors.

GLENN: Got it. Mao once said, there is no construction without destruction. And that's what's happening right now to the world's financial system. And it is being played out, as I believe planned. Because they knew it was all going to fall apart. They were just waiting for the reason, if they were ready, to bring it on naturally. So let's talk about the destruction before the construction. What would allow something like this to happen? Actually, that's not good enough. What would make the people cry out for something to be done? I'll tell you, in 60 seconds.

GLENN: So you remember a few years ago, I was saying, hey, you should get your gold out of the fed? Remember that? Hey, countries, why are they delaying -- why won't they give countries their gold back? Because rehypothecation. I'm not going to get into it. But look the word up. They didn't want to do it. And now, what have they done? Now the central banks have said, Russia's dollar and any gold that they might be storing with our central bank, not good. You're not going to get it. And your dollar is not yours. It's not worth anything. It's in our bank. Well, that's a real problem. They have -- the -- the central bank, all of the G7 countries, shut off the Russian central bank's access to nearly all of its foreign policy reserves. $630 billion. That means, all that money is just gone. So if the financial system in the West can just decide that your money can suddenly go poof, what the heck is money? Because it's not gold. Is this all a con. Do I have to play by the rules of the United States? And if I don't want to play that game, I'm Mexico. I'm whomever.

I'm tired of having Uncle Sam tell me what to do. I don't think I want to hold their currency anymore. Why would the global financial elite reveal this? Well, it's almost like they want this to come crashing down. They want destruction in order to commence with reconstruction. U.S. petrodollars have been the world's currency now. Our reserve currency all over the world. They are the basis for global energy sales for decades. But now, because of Ukraine and because of our blockade, that's all changing. The Saudis are right now, considering accepting the Chinese dollar, instead of U.S. dollars for all Chinese oil sales. Saudi Arabia has been a long-time U.S. ally with the exception of two times. The Obama administration and Biden's.

Okay. So the relationship between us and the gulf kingdoms has gotten so bad, the Saudis won't even accept our president's phone call. They won't even talk to him. Now, consider a year ago, President Trump was leading a massive peace deal in the Middle East. Relationships with Israel and the Arabs, never higher. And all the while the left was saying, it could never be done. Look how far we have fallen. And why are we doing this? Oil producers and those that refuse to turn their backs on fossil fuels are the new enemy. They have to be marginalized. And the Chinese are stepping in, because nature hates a vacuum. Sanctions on Russia are forcing new alliances and an alternate financial system. Yesterday, the Russians told Europe, you got to buy our oil in rubles. That's never happened before. Who do you think is going to win that one? Russia also is working with India. India and Russia are now making moves to operate outside of the western SWIFT financial network. India has always played geopolitical games on both sides of the fence. But they now have roughly the same population as China. 1.4 billion people. They can't do anything radical, like The Great Reset green agenda. They can't provide energy for over a billion people, with solar panels, and wind farms. They're not going to do it. And that's what this really comes down to. Money and energy. Before the experts point out that China and India are adversaries. I just want to show you a couple of headlines. This is from the Tribune India. Time for India. China, to mend their ties. Another one from an Indiana newspaper. China has a huge strategic opening, within -- with India. Now, Russian's foreign minister. And I want to you hear this carefully. Russia's foreign minister straight-up announced this part of the axis, a couple days ago. Listen to what he said.

VOICE: There are players who would never accept the global village under the American sheriff. And China, India, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico.

GLENN: Hmm.

VOICE: I am sure these countries do not want to be in a position, where Uncle Sam orders them saying, and they say, yes, sir.

GLENN: Russia, China, Saudi Arabia. India. But did you hear the other countries that he was talking about. Brazil. Argentina. And Mexico.

Right in our backyard. Will they join the new axis? Well, what do they have in common? Oh, Argentina has 2.3 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. Mexico has 10 billion barrels. And Brazil has 16 billion barrels of oil reserves. Oil is a major part of their economies. And taken together, this is significant. Now, look at the rest of the coming axis. You have Russia, 80 billion barrels. China, 25 billion barrels. Saudi Arabia, 266. India has 30 billion. Iran has 157 billion. And if you're curious about Saudi Arabia and Iran getting along, they have really no choice. It's either cooperate, or get stomped. What was it that Larry Fink just said? The world is being divided now on energy producers and the great reset. This is going to lead to the decoupling of the dollar. But there's something guaranteed that will happen for sure, just by doing the math. I'll tell you next.

For a Night, We Were Human | The Christmas Truce Music Video

In the frozen trenches of World War I along the Lys River in 1914, amidst the relentless thunder of artillery, a miraculous unofficial truce unfolded on Christmas Day. British and German soldiers, weary enemies, emerged from the mud and wire to share gifts, songs, and stories of home together in the ruins. Produced by Glenn Beck in collaboration with AI, this poignant music video and original song recapture the true story of the Christmas Truce, reminding us that even in the darkest times, a single brave act or small light can awaken our shared humanity, allowing soldiers to lay down their weapons and remember they are human... just for a night.

Stay tuned at GlennBeck.com for more musical storytelling inspired by Glenn’s artifacts next year on Torch.

The HIDDEN history behind Trump’s controversial Rob Reiner comments

President Trump recently received heat from his own party over his comments about the allegedly murdered actor Rob Reiner. Glenn Beck explains why he believes Trump’s comments were not a good move, but also tells of a meeting he had with Trump that he believes explains why Trump hates TDS so much…

GLENN: You know, I don't -- I don't -- I don't want to get into -- into the mix with everybody and personalities. I like -- my goal is to make things about right and wrong, and not about personalities.

But I do want to spend just a second on President Trump's post yesterday about Rob Reiner. It made me sad. It made me really sad. Because I like the president.

And -- and he doesn't help himself when he does things like this. But I think I understand this in a different way.

You know, the President has said, you know, all kinds of things about me at times when I disagree with him. He'll say, "Oh, he's just a failing fat blob," or whatever. And that's just him. That's just the way -- when he's in a fight, he is a -- he's a knife fighter. And I get it. I don't like it. But I get it. This was different. This was different.
And this was -- you know, you can say a lot of stuff politically about Rob Reiner. But politics didn't matter yesterday. We weren't -- I mean, that's not -- it just didn't matter. It didn't matter.

But I think to the President, it does. I saw a change in the President -- I've seen two changes in the President. I've seen a change in him when they started going after him and his family. After 2020. And they really started going after his family. And we know this because we showed you the documents. What they -- they had a plan. Take him down.

Take his family down to stop MAGA at all costs. Put them in jail. I mean, those are their words.

And it's -- it was frightening to read.

And I talked to the president, I don't know. Maybe six months after, you know, we were in 2021. Maybe six months. Eight months.

And I said, how are you holding up?

And he had talked a little about how he felt. He had really let people down because he had things going in the right direction. And now, look at it, and look how screwed up things are going to get. And how the economy is going to be damn near impossible to fix. It will take us time. But we can't fix it. Pragmatism, but they've just destroyed it. And I said, how are you personally.

How are you holding up?

And this is the first change I saw. He -- his body changed. And he said, they're going after my damn children!

And it was this Dad. All of a sudden, he wasn't the president or former president, he wasn't Donald Trump. He was a Dad. And it was every Dad response in him. And he said, "You don't go after our children."

And I saw him really, truly mad for the very first time, and it was righteous indignation.

Then after he was shot, I saw another change. I saw him recognize that God existed. I mean, I know he believed that in God. I don't know that he believed that God was actually part of, you know, the story. The everyday story. You know, I don't know how he views God in that way.

But I know that he recognized that God was in his -- in the story of America now.

Firsthand, he witnessed it. The reason why I said this made me sad yesterday, is because -- I don't agree with what he said. I feel -- it was -- it was sad.

Because he is -- he has been kicked in the head over and over and over again by some of these people, that he -- Christmas is about the baby Jesus coming again.

And what he can do in your life. And the biggest thing that he taught was, love your enemies. Don't hate them. But that's really, really hard to do. And the President isn't there yet. On this. And it -- it made me sad. How did you feel about it, Stu?

STU: I didn't like it at all. I think maybe the same as you. You know, one of the things that bothered me about it.

Because you hit many of the points that I had on it without the personal insight that is illustrative of -- of -- of what he's going through. I think there is something to understand there. You know, obviously I --

GLENN: Big time.

STU: One of the things that is difficult about life in your attempt to master it is to try to act the right way, even when you're faced with circumstances like that. And, you know, I get it. I get why he's angry and doesn't like the guy. The man -- you used a phrase, I think in there, where you said, he's a knife fighter. This guy was actually just in a legitimate knife fight and was murdered. It was a -- it was -- this actually really happened.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

STU: And, look, my honest opinion is, it's indefensible. You know, I like President Trump. I think he does a lot of great things for the country. We've defended him on a lot of different things. A lot of times when he's being attacked, I think he deserves defense. In this case, you know, it is -- you know, it is what it is.

It is priced in to everyone's understanding of who Donald Trump is. And everything I heard about him in personal situations where he cares about the person. Is that he's very generous. He's very likable.

He's very -- he's one of those people that you like being around. You know, that is something that I've heard from tons of people. This part of him is really hard for me to square with what I've heard from -- from other -- from everybody that I've talked to, and has been on the inside with him.

And so I don't -- I don't have a defense for it. I think it's really bad. And I will say one more thing on this real quickly, Glenn.

I know a part of this that I think is difficult. In that, one of the things I took from the aftermath of that immediately was -- I don't know if pride is the right word. But like, I really liked the way conservatives responded to it.

We didn't do what they did, after Charlie Kirk.

We didn't do what they did after they shot the president. Right?

Like we -- they celebrated it. They -- they were horrible human beings, and I enjoyed the high ground, that we had there.

GLENN: Yeah. Me too.

STU: And it's difficult to make the argument that we have the high ground. When, you know, the President of the Republican Party. The Republican President of the United States, the most high profile person on, quote, unquote, our side, whatever that means these days, is a guy who, you know, kind of did some of the things that they did.

You know, so I don't -- I don't like that. I understand as part of Donald Trump. And I think if we're all adults here, we're able to kind of price that in and judge him on everything that he's doing. And when I mean pricing in. I think that's a negative part of him. Overall, you have to take everything into context.

GLENN: Right. And if we're all adults here, you know, we should be able to say, to those we love and respect, bad move. I didn't like that. Don't do that.

And I think, you know, I think because the left always says, well, you never take on your own.

Yes, we do. We take on our own, all the time. All the time. And I think it's important that we say, didn't like that. Thought that was a bad move. It didn't look good. It just wasn't right.

He's -- I wish -- and, again, though, I -- I'm not excusing it, but I am tempering it with none of us have gone through what he has gone through.

STU: So true.

GLENN: His family, somebody is shooting at him. He's being called fascist Hitler all the time. I mean, that wears on you and changes you.

And, you know, he's having a hard time forgiving that. And I kind of understand that. I wish he would take that on and take on the forgiveness, so he could be more a peacemaker in all of those things. But that is his own personal journey.

But --

STU: Yeah. And I think when we talk about like a terrible crime that's occurred.

GLENN: Sad.

STU: Like, I don't know. If there was -- think about some awful situation and at times you'll see -- he'll hear family members say the worst possible thing.

You know, if your kid is murdered. And by some -- somewhat of a particular area or group or whatever.

And they might react with just an awful thing about that group or area.

And you just. We all have a bit of understanding. Right?

A person going through a massively emotional thing.

And lashing out.

You want -- you know, the example you bring up all the time, Glenn.

Of the maybe -- the ultimate example of being able to have restraint was the Amish situation from years ago. Where, you know, you were talking about mass murder. And they were to the family's house that night, right?

And saying, we --

GLENN: Not that night. That afternoon.

I mean, within an hour. The kids were not even out of the schools yet. Their bodies were still laying in the school. And the Amish went, oh, my gosh. The killer is dead too.

He was a member of our community. His wife lives here.

What is she feeling? She's feeling completely alone. My gosh. What an example. I couldn't do that.

STU: Right. I don't even think I come close to that standard in that moment.

GLENN: No. But I would like to.

STU: That's the range. Some people act -- react really well. Some people react really poorly.

And I think we all understand the emotion and everything that takes over in a situation like that. And that has to be factored in, I think, to Trump. Of course, Rob Reiner wasn't responsible to the shooting. He was just a liberal who said bad things about Trump. And look, he's a very unique person. And a very unique situation, that I don't think anyone in the world has ever experienced.

You know, what happened with him over his life.

But may I just say, you still haven't forgiven RFK Jr for what he said about me.
(laughter)
Okay?

STU: As I said, I'm not Amish. You know, I like technology. I don't have any wagons. I didn't say I'm perfect.

GLENN: Right.

STU: No. I have -- I have -- I have absolutely forgiven RFK Jr for what he said. And if you didn't know, he accused Glenn of being a traitor. He said, he should be charged with treason. The penalty of which is death.

So, you know, I don't like that. And RFK Jr. I don't like for a lot of his policies. Some of them, by the way, I do really like. Some of them, I think are really positive. I could give you a list of some of the negative things he's done as well.

GLENN: I can too.

STU: That doesn't mean -- I certainly was find that to be an appropriate context, when the embrace of RFK Jr is occurring.

I think we need to understand what people are, and what they're doing. If he's apologetic about that, I do forgive him in that sense. Do I want him on the show and promoting all his books and his candidacy?

No. I did not -- I did not like that. But, you know, a lot of people do. I will say is, you're right, though.

We all have our hang-ups.

GLENN: I do. I certainly was.

STU: I will say this, though.

And, you know, again, all the context here. I know people are really defensive of Donald Trump, appropriately.

Because of the fact that he's targeted unfairly. I understand why people are defensive of him. I can tell you this. I really don't like RFK Jr.

He's one of my least favorite people in politics. I'm just not a fan. I could give you other names of people. Most of them revolve around Olivia Nuzzi, who whatever. I don't have feelings about her. But the story was packed with people.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Cuomos for sure.
GLENN: Yeah.

STU: God forbid, one of these people that I really don't like, was murdered and his family and his spouse.

I can promise you. I can promise you, I will not be tweeting anything like what Donald Trump tweeted.

That is just a -- is a -- is a situation where I understand -- I understand the context around it, that we just discussed.

I don't think there's a defense to it. I think there's something, I really hope he has an awakening to at some point.

GLENN: I think that is enough to be said on that.

Now maybe we should examine ourselves, and say, where do we have that hardness in our heart that we should learn from and remove this holiday season?

Why America's "Surveillance State" Has Proven to be a TOTAL Failure

America is facing a shocking security breakdown—from a mass shooting at one of the most heavily surveilled campuses in the United States to a deadly ISIS attack in Syria that exposes the cracks in U.S. intelligence and foreign-policy strategy. As surveillance systems fail, former extremists gain power abroad, and radical Islamist networks globalize their reach, the West is confronting a threat both inside and outside its borders. This episode uncovers the uncomfortable truth behind Brown University’s unanswered questions, Syria’s escalating instability, and why the West may be running out of time to get its own house in order.

GLENN: I wanted to bring Jason in -- I wanted to bring Jason in because the news that we talked about a minute ago in Australia, then Brown.

There's some weird stuff happening with the Brown shooting. And we -- we don't know much about that. And also, Syria. So let me start with Brown University, Jason. Why is this one weird, as our chief researcher, why is this one weird?

JASON: Well, there comes a point where, you know, as a society, we just end up getting used to the massive surveillance state we live in. And I think we're just like, okay. Fine.

We're never not going to be surveilled 24/7. Maybe there's some benefits to it.

Well, no!

It doesn't seem that way. Because the people were asking the people at Brown. Like, how is it that you have not fully identified the shooter yet? And that's a very good question. Because if you go back to around 2021, there were people writing about how Brown University was one of the most surveilled campuses of the United States.

GLENN: How is it we only have one picture of this guy from the back?

JASON: Right!

GLENN: Apparently the one thing that will help you get away with any crime is a hoodie.

JASON: Yeah. Wear something over your head and a coat.

Apparently, that foils the entire surveillance state. Also, we have nothing to worry about with surveillance. I don't know.

GLENN: Yeah. Right. Right.

JASON: And on top of that, Kash Patel, the FBI director said that they sprung into action. And they activated their cellular monitoring system to help identify the person that has now been let go. Again, that's another layer of this surveillance state that I think a lot of us have been worried about.

And that didn't do anything either. That helped give us the wrong suspect? What is all this stuff for?

It's not keeping us safe, that's for sure.

GLENN: Hmm. I don't want to jump to any conclusions on, you know, what we have, what we don't have. I'm assuming that they have more. They just haven't shown it.

I would like to -- you know, we could help. You show us some pictures.

I think it's odd.

What happened in Syria over the weekend with al-Qaeda.

JASON: Yeah. In Syria.

There's a ton of news, especially involving ISIS, who is very much active and still very much planning attacks.

GLENN: So wait. Wait. Wait. Was this ISIS, or was this al-Qaeda?

JASON: This is ISIS. That's what they're saying. They're saying it's a lone ISIS perpetrator. The location was symbolic as well. The location as in or around Palmyra. Which, I don't know if you remember, that was a scene of a gruesome ISIS video back at the height of their caliphate, where they behead a lot of people in that area.

GLENN: Right. Right. Yes. That's where they lined them up in the orange jumpsuits. Remember everybody was kneeling down in the sand. And they started beheading people. Yes, I remember.

JASON: It was one of those UNESCO sites with ruins all around. And it was very crazy. Brutal video. But another brutal attack. I believe it was three US service members that were killed in this attack. There's a lot of speculation about to go, on if this person was working. I think he was actually at a time working with the security services that are in Syria right now, under the new president. He -- he could have been, you know, a sleeper in that organization. Who knows? But for -- the one thing I do know. And I don't understand the direction we're moving in Syria. I don't understand how a former al-Qaeda guy suddenly is an all right guy because he puts a suit on. And now he's the president of Syria. And he's our ally.

I don't understand that. The Trump administration, maybe they have more information, that I don't know.

I would love to get more of an explanation on this.

As of now, I don't see this going any direction other than a whole lot worse.

You look around that entire area. You have a former al-Qaeda guy now the president of Syria.

You have the rest of Syria, an absolute Dumpster fire. You have Iraq. I hesitate to call these countries.

They're so far down the sectarian, you know, spiral that this is.

But I don't see how this is going to go anywhere, but south, from here on out.

We're in an absolute war with these radical Islamists. And it's not just in the Middle East. It's globalize the intifada has landed on shores all over the world. And while there are politicians that will not denounce that. That is exactly what's happening. Sorry!

GLENN: So I think that's where -- I think that's what -- that explains Trump's thinking. That Trump does not want these everlasting wars to go on.

He does not want to be fighting in the Middle East. He doesn't want to really be fighting anywhere. He will, if he has to. But he's focused more on the American homeland. And the American hemisphere.

And so I think he is -- I think he's letting the Middle East take care of itself.

And as long as they can all get along with each other and Israel.

And recognize that, you know, Iran and the -- the -- the al-Qaeda, the, you know, Muslim Brotherhood. Et cetera, et cetera.

Trying to coax them all into. Hey. These are kind of your enemies here.

You know, ISIS is a big enemy to us and to peace.

And I think he's hoping that they will start to take care of themselves. Whether they will or not, I don't know. You know, it's never happened were. But it's worth trying. We've been playing this other game of us getting involved in everything for 100 years. We know that doesn't work.

So I'm guessing what Trump is thinking is, we know that doesn't work. We're not going to do that. Let's try to give peace a chance, and help them stomp this out, because it will be prosperous for all of them and plant those seeds as deeply as you can to see what happens. But we're not getting involved in any of that. I have a feeling, but there will be a military response to this, I'm sure. Won't you agree?

JASON: Oh, one hundred percent, and to tack on to what you're saying, I would hope that the President would go with his gut on this.

Because the previous ways this has been handled with Islamists, especially in this area. They've screwed it up.

They don't know what they're doing. Although, they think they know what they're doing. I'll go back to history. The Iran and Iraq War. We supported both size on that. In a similar -- in a similar strategy. So we're like, okay. We don't like either one of these groups. Sectarian groups to get too large. Let's fund this country at the same time we fund this country. We'll arm them. They'll fight each other, and they'll be fine. We do that all the time.

So now, the only thing I can think of is that's what they're thinking with the Syria president, this former al-Qaeda guy. Okay. Well, fine. They'll be anti-Iran, so they can counter Iran.

It's literally the same exact strategy, that they're going for. And I get it. That means that we don't have to get involved. I guess in the initial point.

But we always end up having to get involved after the fire erupts and --

GLENN: We know -- look, I think he's trying to buy time, quite honestly. Get us out of that.

Let us recover, and hopefully not go back to it. Try to buy hopefully some real peace.

But we all know how this will end. It's never going to work in the long-term. Because we as the West have to concentrate on our own homelands. You're seeing that with what happened in Australia. We have let the barbarian into the gates. And we've got to focus on that. We've got to get this cancer, cut out of our own societies. Because it's not good.

GLENN: it's so sad that Rob Reiner thing is so sad.

I mean, I don't -- I think -- Stu, correct me if I'm wrong. If he hadn't have done This Is Spinal Tap -- A Mighty Wind, Best of Show, for your consideration, any of those would have been able to have even been made. Because this is Spinal Tap. Rob Reiner directed, but it was still Christopher Guest. I think it was Harry Shearer that wrote it.

STU: And Michael McKean, yeah. Yeah, so theoretically, those movies could have been made, but I don't think any of them get made without Spinal Tap. And I don't think Spinal Tap gets made without Rob Reiner. Because they needed somebody attached to it that would be able to bring that to life.

GLENN: I mean, what a legacy he and his father brought to television.

I mean, think, Carl Reiner did your show of shows, which was Mel Brooks and Woody Allen with Carl Reiner writing that. Imagine That. Then he bought the Dick Van Dyke show and a million -- a million other TV shows and movies he was responsible for. And then his son starts with All In the family, and brings us all these classic movies, and the way they died this weekend, is just horribly, horribly tragic. Horribly tragic.

STU: Yeah. And it's not just Spinal Tap, which is a big one. Princes Bride.

GLENN: Oh, I know.

STU: Some of the movies --

GLENN: Harry Met Sally. Gosh, so good. So good.
STU: So many things.
GLENN: Stand By Me. One of my favorite movies.
STU: Oh, yeah. Jeez.
GLENN: Just great moves. Just great movies.

GLENN: So Rob Reiner met his wife in 1989. They have been together ever since. They live in Brentwood, which is a suburb of Los Angeles. It's -- their house is 2 miles away from where Nicole Simpson Brown was -- was discovered and killed.

Officers were called to Brentwood, to their home. All they said at first was, a man and a woman found with stab wounds. That's what came out over the radio. They were dead. And then friends started to show up. Billy Crystal was there. He came into the house. Reporters say he left looking horribly shaken. Larry David, who is a neighbor, he came in. Same story. It was confirmed that Rob Reiner and his wife were killed and brutally murdered: stab wounds.

We knew early this morning that the guy who might have done it is their 32-year-old son. His name is Nick Reiner. He's a screenwriter and also -- he's a guy who has battled drugs and alcohol and homelessness. He said at one point, I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey. I was homeless in Texas. I spent nights on the street. I spent weeks on the street, and it wasn't fun. That's what he said to People magazine in 2016. I don't know the latest on him.

But he has been just arrested for the murder of his mother and father. Just horrible!

Just horrible. I mean, Rob Reiner was one of those guys that I was always sad that, you know, we disagreed. And -- I'll be kind to him here.

Neither of us could ever find our way to talk to one another.

Because I really admired him.

I really liked him.

I didn't like him politically.

That's such a small part of life. I mean, gosh. He did When Harry Met Sally. He did the Princess Bride. This is Spinal Tap. He did A Few Good Men.

Stu, look up -- look up his work. He's responsible for some of the best movies ever. His father was a genius. It is so sad that Carl Reiner, Rob Reiner, and then now that is broken by the third generation. The son!

And it ends this way. He brought so much joy -- to just me. I'll speak for me. His movies have brought me so much joy, just the Princess Bride alone. But so sad. So incredibly sad.

And to be killed by your -- it's one thing I guess to be killed by your stranger, and that's bad. But to be killed by your own son. Oh!

STU: Glenn, listen to this -- late '80s. Early '90s. Quickly.

1984, this is Spinal Tap. '85, The Sure Thing. '86, Stand By Me. '87, The Princess Bride. '89, When Harry Met Sally. 1990, Misery. 1992, A Few Good Men. I mean, that is -- that is a run!

GLENN: Wow! Wow! Just -- just brilliant, brilliant guy from a brilliant family.

I'm glad his father isn't here. I mean, his father just died, what?

A year ago. Two years ago.

Mel Brooks is still alive, which this has just got to kill Mel Brooks.

Gosh, poor Mel Brooks. The tragedy.
By the way, I want to show you how Rob Reiner for as politically different as we were, and we were extraordinarily politically different. I want you to listen to how he handled the death of Charlie Kirk.

VOICE: When you first heard about the murder of Charlie Kirk, what was your immediate gut reaction to it?

VOICE: Well, horror, absolute horror.

And I unfortunately saw the video of it. And it's -- it's -- it's beyond belief. The -- what happened to him, and that should never happen to anybody.

I don't care what your political beliefs are. That's not acceptable! That's not a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said at the service -- at the memorial they had. Was exactly right.

And totally, I believe, you know, I'm Jewish. But I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe in do unto others. And I believe in forgiveness. And what she said was beautiful. And absolutely -- she -- she forgave his -- his assassin.
And I think that -- that is admirable.

GLENN: I mean, how many -- how many other people did that? Especially for as vehemently as he disagrees with the right.

He was a human being. And I think that's why his -- I think that's why his films lasted and connected with us. You know, I mean, in a lot of ways, his films were a little like John Hughes' movies.

John Hughes was -- I mean, he was lightning in a bottle.

And there was something. And I think that something in many ways, was John Candy.

But there was something about the John Hughes movie, that connected to us on a basic level.

You know. That -- that spoke to us, deeper than just a movie! Or a script.

You know, it -- it came from a place that was real.

And I -- I think of Peter fall. And

What's his name?

I can't remember. He used to be in the wonder years. It was the little kid on Princess Bride, that -- that just those scenes alone -- just those scenes alone were so real! So real. When Peter Falk turns around and says, as you wish. It -- by the end of the movie, you felt that deeply.
