Glenn Beck Special. Digital ID & Religious Persecution: New Globalist Plans to ENSLAVE You. We're at a crossroads — freedom or total control. We see it in the U.K., where people are thrown in jail for waving their flag or sharing a meme. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's push for digital IDs is just the latest piece of a control-freak puzzle that's been coming together for years, with nudges from the U.N. and World Economic Forum. Award-winning journalist Alex Newman tells Glenn Beck that the survival of freedom depends on stopping this agenda before it's too late. But it's not just the Brits who are slaves to global elites — Glenn Beck points out how governments worldwide are racing toward totalitarianism. He shares a jaw-dropping story from South Korea, where Reverend Son of Segero Church in Busan was arrested for calling out policies he saw as anti-biblical. His son Chance tells Glenn that just days before he was assassinated, Charlie Kirk promised to make Rev. Son's stance against the South Korean regime an international human rights issue. Chance calls on Americans to pick up Charlie's torch and remind the world what liberty looks like.   Watch this special at-  https://youtu.be/P468mrWI4UY?si=serQNpaHmz9bgbBd Glenn Beck 1.59M subscribers 69,710 views Premiered Oct 1, 2025 #glenntv #glennbeck #digitalid ► Click HERE to subscribe to Glenn Beck on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2UVLqhL ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV: get.blazetv.com/glenn ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV YouTube:    / @blazetv   ► Click HERE to sign up to Glenn's newsletter: https://www.glennbeck.com/st/Morning_...

1.The Reserve Bank of India's interest rate decision, Today,(October 1) will likely be a close call, with policymakers facing multiple reasons to lower borrowing costs as inflation stays low and economic growth takes a knock from high US tariffs. While a majority of economists — 24 of 39 surveyed by Bloomberg — predict the repurchase rate will remain on hold at 5.5%, 15 expect a quarter-point reduction, citing India's growth prospects. Even many of those forecasting a hold say there's justification to ease. The six-member monetary policy committee, led by Governor Sanjay Malhotra, will need to juggle a number of competing objectives this week. Inflation, which is hovering near the lower end of the 2%–6% target band, is expected to ease further after recent tax cuts, while growth is likely to face a hit from US President Donald Trump's 50% export tariffs.  Read more here 2.The government's push to go ‘Swadeshi' in tech, endorsement by senior ministers, and the overall social media buzz have taken the downloads and Daily Active Usage (DAU) of Zoho's messaging app Arattai to record highs, report Sindhu Hariharan and Rohan Das. According to data from the market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, shared with BusinessLine, Arattai's downloads and daily active users in India have skyrocketed — increasing by 185 times and 40 times respectively, compared to the previous week. This massive jump happened between September 21st and 27th, right after the app came under the spotlight thanks to mentions by government officials. The instant messaging app from software firm Zoho, that is being touted as a WhatsApp rival, has seen an exponential growth across all parameters such as installs and usage, and app store rankings.

This will translate into a 15 per cent dilution of its stake in its Indian arm, LG Electronics India Ltd, in which it will hold 85 per cent stake post the IPO. Read more here 4.The government has placed e-commerce platforms under scrutiny as it monitors prices of daily use FMCG products ranging from shampoo to pulses to ensure that the benefits of Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate cuts are being appropriately passed on to consumers. Authorities are monitoring whether these platforms are complying with pricing norms and not withholding the intended consumer benefits from tax reductions. Sources said the e-commerce platforms cited ‘technical glitches' when discrepancies in pricing pre- and post-GST reduction were pointed out. Read more here Donald Trump's H-1B visa crackdown will hasten US firms' shift of critical work to India, turbocharging the growth of global capability centres (GCCs) that handle operations from finance to research and development, economists and industry insiders say. The world's fifth-largest economy is home to 1,700 GCCs, or more than half the global tally, having outgrown its tech support origins to become a hub of high-value innovation in areas from design of luxury car dashboards to drug discovery. Trends such as growing adoption of artificial intelligence and increasing curbs on visas are pushing U.S. firms to redraw labour strategies, with GCCs in India emerging as resilient hubs blending global skills with strong domestic leadership.

HEADLINE: South Korea Faces "Techno-Totalitarianism" After Suspicious Data Center Fire GUEST NAME: Morse Tan 50 WORD SUMMARY: A suspicious battery blaze paralyzed over 600 South Korean government services, raising questions about server security and the destruction of intelligence. The timing is critical, disabling background checks on Chinese entrants. President Yoon Suk Yeol is strongly allied with the CCP, having purged military leadership. This incident, likened to the Reichstag fire, poses a grave threat to democracy and fosters "techno-totalitarianism." 1950 OFF KOREA

President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had accepted a U.S. plan for Gaza. But prospects for ending the war lean on Arab and Muslim states to deliver Hamas' agreement to disarm. And a U.S. and Israeli threat hangs heavily. Also: today's stories, including how Gen Z women are turning away from motherhood; how a raid by U.S. immigration agents on a Hyundai factory in Georgia amplified South Korean frustration with its American ally; and how tax credits for electric vehicle purchases in the U.S. are changing under the Trump administration. Join the Monitor's Kurt Shillinger for today's news.

Ansley Hutchinson & Tess Menzies from the Boredwalk content team and Boredwalk founder Meredith Erin are back in your earballs to recap and comment on the latest embarrassments of the regime, including (but in no way limited to): • The FBI's poorly executed disposal of two pounds of methamphetamine using the incinerator in a Montana animal shelter, exposing animals and human workers to meth fumes and sending 14 staffers to the hospital.  • ICE's racist and unlawful arrest and detention of South Korean citizens that were in the U.S. legally to set up factories and train U.S. workers on how to operate and maintain them. This episode of incompetence scuttled a trade deal that will cost the U.S. economy $350 billion dollars and thousands of jobs for U.S. workers in states that overwhelmingly voted for this clown car of incompetence. • Exploiting the murder of Charlie Kirk to curtail First Amendment protections; you know, the opposite of what noted champion of hate speech Charlie Kirk was all about. • Engaging in historical revisionism by eliminating studies from the Department of Justice's website that don't fit the MAGA narrative that political violence overwhelmingly comes from the left. The desiccated corpse of Joseph Stalin called and would like Donald to stop biting his moves. Our hosts then check in on the latest dispatches from Troll-sylvania, and a review for our new Sinister Affirmations card deck! In an effort to take things out on a high note, our hosts wrap up the episode by trading answers to questions pulled from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! This week we answer the questions "what was the worst job you've ever had?", "what do people often wrongly assume about you?", and "what's something you like that might surprise people who know you?"

PLAVE is your average hit-making K-pop group, but with a twist: its members are virtual avatars. There are real-life performers behind the characters, who control their voices and dance moves using motion capture technology, but their identities are kept secret. Despite their anonymity, a South Korean court has sided with the group after they sued a social media user for insulting comments they posted online about the avatars. Each member was only awarded around $70 US dollars, but the case is one of the first of its kind and sets an important precedent. So what does this mean for how we interact with virtual bands online in the future?

In this episode of Dog Works Radio, Dr. Robert Forto sits down with South Korean dog trainer Sarah Jung of Rebel Rescue to explore the evolving dog culture in Korea. From her journey learning positive training methods in the U.S. to her work rehabilitating dogs rescued from farms, like Scooby, a pup with a remarkable story, Sarah shares candid insights into the challenges and hope of giving these dogs a second chance. It's a conversation about culture, compassion, and the power of training to change lives.  Takeaways Sarah Jung is a dog trainer who focuses on rescue dogs. She learned dog training in the US and brought back positive methods to Korea. The dog culture in Korea is evolving, with more people treating dogs as family. Dog farms in Korea are being phased out, with laws changing in the next two years. Rescue dogs often come with behavioral challenges that require patience and training. Understanding a dog's body language is crucial for successful training and adoption. Scooby's story highlights the journey of a rescue dog from a farm to finding a forever home. Training for rescue dogs includes loose leash walking and socialization. Adopters need to be educated on dog behavior and triggers for a successful transition.

The pool of candidates running for Georgia Governor has grown by three this week alone. Former Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, now a Democrat, jumped in the race, along with Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Then came the lesser known businessman and board chair of the YMCA of metro Atlanta, Clark Dean. That's who strategists Tharon Johnson and Brian Robinson wanted to talk about with host Lisa Rayam. Plus, the team discusses the hundreds detained in an immigration raid at the multi-billion dollar Hyundai electric vehicle plant. More than 300 workers are now back in South Korea. The raid at the factory just outside Savannah was described as the largest immigration enforcement operation carried out at a single location by the United States Department of Homeland Security in its history. It now puts Georgia Republicans like Governor Brian Kemp in an awkward position. He spent years building relationships with South Korean companies to grow Georgia's economy. The raid alarmed South Korean leaders and also raised concerns about foreign companies investing in the United States in the future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW SCHEDULE 1957 9-15-25 GOOD EVENING.  THE SHOW BEGINS IN TROUBLED AMERICA... FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Global Allies Worry About US Division, Adversaries Exploit Weakness GUEST AND TITLE: Ambassador Husain Haqqani, Hudson Institute Director of Eurasia Project; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies SUMMARY: Ambassador Husain Haqqani states US allies are "very worried" by American internal division and extreme rhetoric, unlike past unity. Bill Roggio notes similar European issues, but the US now seems to lead in domestic disorder. Adversaries like China, Russia, and Islamist extremists exploit this polarization, using social media manipulation and citing Western decline.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: Ukraine Advances in Sumy, NATO Urged to Boost Russia Sanctions GUEST AND TITLE: John Hardie, Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of DemocraciesSUMMARY: John Hardie discusses Ukrainian advances in the Sumy border area, noting Russia has redeployed better units to other regions like Donetsk, focusing on areas near Pokrovsk. He suggests Ukraine's counterattacks are part of an active defense, and their focus on Pokrovsk is strategically sound despite manpower shortages. Hardie highlights recent massive Russian drone barrages, including one into Poland, as a "wake-up call" for NATO to improve cost-effective air defenses. He advocates for stronger US secondary sanctions on Russian oil revenue and untying Ukraine's hands for long-range strikes. 1115-1130 HEADLINE: Ukraine Advances in Sumy, NATO Urged to Boost Russia Sanctions GUEST AND TITLE: John Hardie, Foundation for Defense of Democracies; Bill Roggio, Senior Fellow for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies130-1145 HEADLINE: MIT Professor Explains the Discovery of Ionic Liquid, Expanding Search for Extraterrestrial Life GUEST AND TITLE: Professor Sara Seager, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; David Livingston, Dr. Space of the Space Show SUMMARY: Professor Sara Seager discusses the accidental lab discovery of ionic liquids, a non-evaporating liquid salt potentially sustaining life on planets without water, expanding the traditional "habitable zone" concept.

On Monday, President Trump said public companies should no longer report quarterly earnings. Instead, he suggested corporations report just twice a year. Trump isn't the first to suggest a pared-down reporting schedule, but the idea raises questions about the balance between corporate transparency and long-term growth. Also on the show, the South Korean government has launched an investigation into potential human rights violations during a U.S. immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia, where 300 South Korean workers were detained and deported. So what does this episode tell us about the U.S. immigration system? Stuart Anderson, executive director of the National Foundation of American Policy, joins us to discuss.

This week: ICE raided a Hyundai plant in Georgia. Felix Salmon, Elizabeth Spiers, and Emily Peck discuss the somewhat hamfisted raid that detained hundreds of South Korean workers–disrupting both Hyundai's operations and the local economy–and the potential fallout if foreign companies see this as a reason to avoid investing in the US. Then, Oracle's stock surged this week thanks to its AI deals, bringing it close to a trillion dollar valuation and briefly making Larry Ellison the richest man in the world. They dive into Oracle actually does and whether it's really worth the rarified distinction of being a trillion dollar company. And finally, JP Morgan is about to open its incredibly fancy new headquarters at 270 Park Avenue and Felix hates it. The hosts discuss the landscape of massive bank buildings in New York City and the extremely plush amenities 270 Park  will be offering to keep workers on site.  In the Slate Plus episode: Zuckerberg (Mark E.) v.
