The Democratic Party is Split

January 11, 2016

Editor

Reviewing the latest polls from this weekend, Glenn and his co-hosts discussed some of the problems the Democratic Party is facing on radio Monday.

Glenn pointed out about 20 percent of Democrats support Donald Trump --- and this could be pretty problematic for the Democratic Party.

"The Democrats are in trouble," Glenn said. "Their party has split and no one is willing to talk about this."

He explained why he thinks this is happening.

"There are many Democrats that don't feel America should be knocked off its perch," Glenn said. "They believe that we are a country that has done more good than has done bad. But that is not the feeling you get from many Democrats that run the progressive or revolutionary wing of the Democratic Party."

Listen to more in the segment below.

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors.

Rubio leads by five over Hillary. Cruz leads by four over Hillary in Iowa. In New Hampshire, Rubio by 12, Cruz by four, over Hillary. Trump trails her in both states.

GLENN: Unbelievable.

PAT: Yeah, because I just said that stat about 30 percent of Republicans would never go out and vote for. This is in Iowa, would never go out and vote for Trump. And people are responding, well, that means 70 percent would vote for Trump. Yeah, that would be the worst number in history. If only 70 percent of a party would vote for their own nominee in a two-person race, that would likely be the worst number in history.

GLENN: It would be a bloodbath. People don't see it coming. It would be a bloodbath, even with Hillary, I think could be the lowest turnout of all time. Because there will only be a small percentage of both parties that are really diehard gung-ho.

STU: There will be a lot that really dislike the other party's nominee though.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: This would be one of those where -- I mean, there would be a lot of people motivated just out of, I can't stand the other person.

GLENN: Well, but you also have to take into account that there are that Democrats that do like Donald Trump. There are 20 percent of Democrats that say -- and this is where a lot of his support is coming from. I love these constitutionalists. This guy on Facebook, you know, accused me of -- "I used to listen to you because you were the Tea Party. You were the guy who was telling us about the Constitution. Now you're giving up on Donald Trump, and you won't vote for him."

I love the comment. So he said, "I hope that when Donald Trump becomes president, he deports you."

STU: Where?

PAT: That's very constitutional.

GLENN: Very constitutional. That would be the kind of constitutional powers that Donald Trump and his supporters do understand.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: But, anyway, let's look at Donald Trump and his Democratic support here. What does this say? This is the real story. The real story is how weak Hillary Clinton is and how much trouble the Democrats are in. The Democrats are in trouble. Their party has split and no one is willing to talk about this. The party is a party that has left all of the New Deal Democrats away. They don't have anyplace to go. You have to go to a socialist and, quite honestly, people who many people think hate America. You have to go on that apology tour.

So here's what's happening with the 20 percent that will go over to Donald Trump. And I mean this with respect for Donald Trump and for those 20 percent of the Democrats.

He's a huge progressive. If you look at what he has always believed historically -- and please don't tell me about, "Well, he's changed." Show me his pivot point. Everybody demanded a pivot point from Mitt Romney on these things. And you couldn't show one. I could only show the one on abortion. Couldn't show a pivot point anywhere else with Mitt Romney. He just said what he had to say to get elected. And we now know that's true because of what he has said after the election. He was saying whatever he had to say to get elected. Pivot points matter.

But the press has been lying about this race. They've been spending all this time talking about the split in the G.O.P. But the real split is the Democrats. The New Deal-style Democrats that actually -- now, here's the key -- that actually love their country but also love big, progressive government, have no place to go.

It isn't un-American to believe in big government or universal health care. But the Obama Democrats hate Israel, don't believe in our traditional allies, don't believe in our traditions. They have openly rejected God at the conventions. They are openly against guns. And let's be honest, want confiscation. The president has said so. We should pattern our gun laws after those in Australia and in England. That was gun confiscation.

There are many Democrats that don't feel America should be knocked off its perch. They believe that we are a country that has done more good than has done bad. But that is not the feeling you get from many Democrats that run the progressive or revolutionary wing of the Democratic Party.

So it's not a place that many Democrats, that I know, the Democrats that I like, the Democrats that I just -- I don't understand how they voted for Obama the first time, they now don't understand how they voted for him either.

Will this SAVE America’s children? SCOTUS upholds trans ban in red states

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.
