The Strait of Hormuz Is Open! But Two Other Wars Still Rage | Guests: Savanah Hernandez & Billy Hallowell | 4/17/26

In this high-stakes episode of The Glenn Beck Program, Glenn Beck delivers a sweeping analysis of three interconnected wars threatening America: the publicized U.S.-Iran conflict, a covert foreign propaganda campaign exploiting American leftist groups and social media to deepen division, and an emerging space war fueled by China and Russia’s development of satellite-based weapons and orbital combat systems. Beck celebrates the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz following a U.S.-Iran ceasefire—marked by oil prices dropping to $83 a barrel—as a diplomatic victory, but warns it is being undermined by a sophisticated influence operation linking Iranian state media, Chinese-funded donor-advised funds, and domestic protest movements. He underscores the growing danger to journalists, spotlighting Savannah Hernandez’s brutal assault during a protest in Minnesota, where she was attacked by a man and his family despite clear video evidence and a lack of accountability from local authorities. Beck frames these attacks as part of a broader strategy to silence truth-tellers and erode press freedom, drawing parallels to the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the targeting of Turning Point USA. The episode also highlights the U.S. race to secure strategic positions on the moon through the Artemis program amid escalating space militarization. In a personal and reflective turn, Beck shares a story about his dog Uno’s recovery after being fed Rough Greens, promoting the product with a free trial code, before pivoting to a passionate plea for history education that emphasizes storytelling over rote memorization. He teases his podcast 'The American Story,' spotlighting the life of John Howland, whose survival after being swept overboard on the Mayflower had profound generational consequences, linking him to countless historical figures. The episode closes with a call to unity, spiritual vigilance, and resilience in defense of truth, family, and legacy.
