One of the most musical and complex bird songs in the U.S. is that of the Brewer's Sparrow. It's a veritable aria, ringing forth from the sagebrush of Eastern Washington's Columbia Basin. Shrub-steppe is disappearing from the interior west as it is cleared for irrigated crops. The quintessential drylands bird, the Brewer's Sparrow can survive for an extended period of time with no supplemental water, getting all the water it needs from seeds and arthropods.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Field Sparrows make use of all the warm months of the year by building multiple nests each breeding season. Females will build their first, cup-shaped nest near the ground in dense grasses. As shrubs and trees grow their leaves throughout the summer, they will pick new spots higher off the ground each time — to protect their eggs from mammals and snakes. These birds avoid human activity and they're sensitive to suburban sprawl. We can help conserve field sparrows by conserving brushy habitats in agricultural landscapes.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Glenn reviews some of the highlights from President Trump's and Elon Musk's dual interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity. Are President Trump and Elon Musk creating a missile shield over the United States? Musk also discussed the rescue mission for the astronauts up in space, as it appears that Biden refused to approve the Musk rescue mission to avoid the bad press. Glenn and Stu discuss the capabilities of artificial intelligence, including its potential to lead people not to pursue human relationships. Will AI be given the right to vote? Glenn breaks down the story of Joshua and Stephanie Mast, who rescued and adopted a baby girl, nicknamed Sparrow, who was likely the child of foreign fighters in Afghanistan. They now risk losing their child to the Taliban due to an apparent cover-up by the State Department, as her mere existence is proof of an international lie that would collapse a peace deal. Glenn's chief researcher, Jason Buttrill, joins Glenn and Stu to discuss the wasteful spending being exposed using new technology. BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler joins to discuss what pro-lifers need to know about IVF and its inconsistencies within the pro-life movement.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A 5-year-old sits at the heart of an international controversy involving Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, the U.S. State Department, and even Hunter Biden's law firm. In what Glenn describes as maybe his “most important” episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast" yet, Stephanie and Joshua Mast detail the unbelievable story of rescuing an injured infant from the war in Afghanistan and their uphill battle to bring her safely to America during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal under President Biden's administration. Now, their 5-year-old daughter's fate again hangs in the balance, and she is just days away from a Virginia court case that may change her life forever. The Mast family believes their daughter is the biological child of foreign fighters. If they're correct, then her mere existence unravels the foundations of the peace agreement between the U.S. and Afghanistan, which stipulated that there were NO foreign fighters in Afghanistan. In a tangled web of motivations, Glenn is shocked by the possibility that the U.S. State Department may have placed a baby girl in the hands of people without any evidence of biological relations and with potential ties to the Taliban. The Masts make a public plea to the Trump administration to save their little girl from a custody battle with international implications but deeply personal ramifications for this little girl.          GLENN'S SPONSORS      Relief Factor        Relief Factor can help you live pain-free!
