'Ready, Set, Go!': Why Glenn thinks it is time to change the world

January 14, 2015

Today on radio, Glenn dedicated a lot of time updating the radio audience on the information he shared in TheBlaze TV special "The Root: Red Storm". But he took some time out of the teaching portion of the show to address the important issue of why. Why is Glenn spending so much time on this story? Why is he ringing the bell? After all, he's said time and again that he wants to stop being the "warning guy" and really focus on being the "inspiration guy". But today he discussed why the time is running short for people to wake up and prepare - and what comes next.

"You know, I don't want to be this guy, and as the guys will tell you, we're working hard here because I don't want to be this guy. I don't want to be the warning guy anymore. I'm tired of it. But I -- I am the warning guy. So I have to tell you. And I know I'm gonna get hammered for this just like we did with everything else," Glenn said.

"I want you to listen carefully to me. I have been telling you for a long time, fascism will start to rise, the old hatred will start to rise. And you have seen that."

"I also said fascism would start with the Jews, but then because of the immigration laws over in Europe, and because of the way the Muslims are surrounding the cities and choking them, these fascists, if you don't start acting reasonably now, these fascists will take an event and they will use it and they will use it to expand. What is happening? It's all this is happening. Now, this is what I want to say to you. I told you last year, I kept hearing, and so it begins."

"Let me take this down to a more base level. I believe the Charlie Hebdo incident has -- is more of this. When I say and so it begins, what I meant was, oh, my gosh, here it comes. Here it comes. Here it comes. It's starting. Look it, this piece is going to grow and that piece is going to grow. What happened in France, if you are standing at a starting line and you're going to be in a race, you will always hear, ready, set, bang. I believe that we are -- last year was the ready. I believe the Charlie Hebdo was the set. And I think the go is coming. And it's coming soon."

"If you believe that you can stand around and just not be plugged in to what the world is doing. And pay attention to what's going on. And be disconnected from your faith and your principles, when that starting gun fires and it's going to fire soon, it's going to be too late. I -- I warn you and I beg you with everything in me to hear me, please hear me. The world is on the precipice of fascism, communism, anarchy, and theological nightmares. Nightmares. And it's spreading everywhere."

"What we brought on the last two nights and tonight is the last episode TheBlazeTV, is the Red Storm Rising. And I know people will want to dismiss it and they will want to say it's no big deal."

Glenn ran through the threat the Dugin presents to the West, but concluded the segment on a hopeful note.

"Don't run to a gun. Run to love. Run to the Lord. Don't run to a gun. Run to a charity. Run to each other. Don't -- don't. Stand for what you believe. But do it in love and peace and harmony," he said.

" I have said this from the beginning. And it's about go time, gang. And I can't believe I'm saying this. But it's almost go time. I don't know when this happens. All of these -- all of this hatred, all of the fires in the streets and the killing of the cops here in America and the gunning down of people here in America and in France and all over the world, in Asia, all of this has happened without a depression. We still can eat. We still -- we still have the semblance of our life. We haven't hit -- we don't even understand this. We don't understand what the Great Depression was like. People didn't have food. They didn't have shoes. They didn't have money. They had nothing. We're not used to that. We've never seen that. When we and the rest of the world start to go into a real economic collapse, God help us all. And I really -- I've said this from the beginning. This audience is going to be the audience that changes the world. I'm begging you. I'm begging you. I don't know how to do it. But somebody within the sound of my voices does. I'm begging you, change the world. Change your life. I'm begging you. Ready, set."

EXPOSED: Why the left’s trans agenda just CRASHED at SCOTUS

You never know what you’re going to get with the U.S. Supreme Court these days.

For all of the Left’s insane panic over having six supposedly conservative justices on the court, the decisions have been much more of a mixed bag. But thank God – sincerely – there was a seismic win for common sense at the Supreme Court on Wednesday. It’s a win for American children, parents, and for truth itself.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee’s state ban on irreversible transgender procedures for minors.

The mostly conservative justices stood tall in this case, while Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson predictably dissented. This isn’t just Tennessee’s victory – 20 other red states that have similar bans can now breathe easier, knowing they can protect vulnerable children from these sick, experimental, life-altering procedures.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, saying Tennessee’s law does not violate the Equal Protection Clause. It’s rooted in a very simple truth that common sense Americans get: kids cannot consent to permanent damage. The science backs this up – Norway, Finland, and the UK have all sounded alarms about the lack of evidence for so-called “gender-affirming care.” The Trump administration’s recent HHS report shredded the activist claims that these treatments help kids’ mental health. Nothing about this is “healthcare.” It is absolute harm.

The Left, the ACLU, and the Biden DOJ screamed “discrimination” and tried to twist the Constitution to force this radical ideology on our kids.

Fortunately, the Supreme Court saw through it this time. In her concurring opinion, Justice Amy Coney Barrett nailed it: gender identity is not some fixed, immutable trait like race or sex. Detransitioners are speaking out, regretting the surgeries and hormones they were rushed into as teens. WPATH – the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the supposed experts on this, knew that kids cannot fully grasp this decision, and their own leaked documents prove that they knew it. But they pushed operations and treatments on kids anyway.

This decision is about protecting the innocent from a dangerous ideology that denies biology and reality. Tennessee’s Attorney General calls this a “landmark victory in defense of America’s children.” He’s right. This time at least, the Supreme Court refused to let judicial activism steal our kids’ futures. Now every state needs to follow Tennessee’s lead on this, and maybe the tide will continue to turn.

EXPOSED: Your tax dollars FUND Marxist riots in LA

Protesters wore Che shirts, waved foreign flags, and chanted Marxist slogans — but corporate media still peddles the ‘spontaneous outrage’ narrative.

I sat in front of the television this weekend, watching the glittering spectacle of corporate media do what it does best: tell me not to believe my lying eyes.

According to the polished news anchors, what I was witnessing in Los Angeles was “mostly peaceful protests.” They said it with all the earnest gravitas of someone reading a bedtime story, while behind them the streets looked like a deleted scene from “Mad Max.” Federal agents dodged concrete slabs as if it were an Olympic sport. A man in a Che Guevara crop top tried to set a police car on fire. Dumpster fires lit the night sky like some sort of postapocalyptic luau.

If you suggest that violent criminals should be deported or imprisoned, you’re painted as the extremist.

But sure, it was peaceful. Tear gas clouds and Molotov cocktails are apparently the incense and candles of this new civic religion.

The media expects us to play along — to nod solemnly while cities burn and to call it “activism.”

Let’s call this what it is: delusion.

Another ‘peaceful’ riot

If the Titanic “mostly floated” and the Hindenburg “mostly flew,” then yes, the latest L.A. riots are “mostly peaceful.” But history tends to care about those tiny details at the end — like icebergs and explosions.

The coverage was full of phrases like “spontaneous,” “grassroots,” and “organic,” as if these protests materialized from thin air. But many of the signs and banners looked like they’d been run off at ComradesKinkos.com — crisp print jobs with slogans promoting socialism, communism, and various anti-American regimes. Palestinian flags waved beside banners from Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, and El Salvador. It was like someone looted a United Nations souvenir shop and turned it into a revolution starter pack.

And guess who funded it? You did.

According to at least one report, much of this so-called spontaneous rage fest was paid for with your tax dollars. Tens of millions of dollars from the Biden administration ensured your paycheck funded Trotsky cosplayers chucking firebombs at local coffee shops.

The same aging radicals from the 1970s — now armed with tenure, pensions, and book deals — are cheering from the sidelines, waxing poetic about how burning a squad car is “liberation.” These are the same folks who once wore tie-dye and flew to help guerrilla fighters and now applaud chaos under the banner of “progress.”

This is not progress. It is not protest. It’s certainly not justice or peace.

It’s an attempt to dismantle the American system — and if you dare say that out loud, you’re labeled a bigot, a fascist, or, worst of all, someone who notices reality.

And what sparked this taxpayer-funded riot? Enforcement against illegal immigrants — many of whom, according to official arrest records, are repeat violent offenders. These are not the “dreamers” or the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. These are criminals with long, violent rap sheets — allowed to remain free by a broken system that prioritizes ideology over public safety.

This is what people are rioting over — not the mistreatment of the innocent, but the arrest of the guilty. And in California, that’s apparently a cause for outrage.

The average American, according to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, is supposed to worry they’ll be next. But unless you’re in the habit of assaulting people, smuggling, or firing guns into people’s homes, you probably don’t have much to fear.

Still, if you suggest that violent criminals should be deported or imprisoned, you’re painted as the extremist.

The left has lost it

This is what happens when a culture loses its grip on reality. We begin to call arson “art,” lawlessness “liberation,” and criminals “community members.” We burn the good and excuse the evil — all while the media insists it’s just “vibes.”

But it’s not just vibes. It’s violence, paid for by you, endorsed by your elected officials, and whitewashed by newsrooms with more concern for hair and lighting than for truth.

This isn’t activism. This is anarchism. And Democratic politicians are fueling the flame.

Glenn Beck's 'No King but Christ' merch: Will faith STOP the chaos?

On Saturday, June 14, 2025 (President Trump's 79th birthday), the "No Kings" protest—a noisy spectacle orchestrated by progressive heavyweights like Randi Weingarten and her union cronies—will take place in Washington, D.C.

Thousands will chant "no thrones, no crowns, no king," claiming to fend off authoritarianism and corruption.

But let’s cut through the noise. The protesters' grievances—rigged courts, deported citizens, slashed services—are a house of cards. Zero Americans have been deported, Federal services are still bloated, and if anyone is rigging the courts, it's the Left. So why rally now, especially with riots already flaring in L.A.?

Chaos isn’t a side effect here—it’s the plan.

This is not about liberty; it's a power grab dressed up as resistance. The "No Kings" crowd wants you to buy their script: government’s the enemy—unless they’re the ones running it. It's the identical script from 2020: same groups, same tactics, same goal, different name.

But Glenn is flipping the script. He's dropping a new "No Kings but Christ" merch line, just in time for the protest. Merch that proclaims one truth: no earthly ruler owns us; only Christ does. It’s a bold, faith-rooted rejection of this secular circus.

Why should you care? Because this won’t just be a rally—it’ll be a symptom. Distrust in institutions is sky-high, and rightly so, but the "No Kings" answer is a hollow shout into the void. Glenn’s merch begs the question: if you’re ditching kings, who’s really in charge? Get yours and wear the answer proudly.
