Sabo STRIKES AGAIN: 5 new DEVASTATING pieces from the anti-woke street artist

Courtesy of Sabo

Last August, the infamous anti-woke guerilla street artist known as Sabo displayed several shocking posters at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, criticizing American Airlines’ controversial woke policies. Glenn has become a fan of Sabo's work, applauding him for his edgy, yet strikingly powerful art, which conveys important messages that not everyone is brave enough to convey in public.

This week, Sabo is BACK, and this time, he hit the streets of Los Angeles, taking aim at Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom, BLM, and more. He gave glennbeck.com exclusive access to his latest installation, which leaves NO ONE from the establishment unscathed.

You can find Sabo's entire collection HERE. In the meantime, here are five of our favorite pieces from Sabo's latest anti-woke art campaign:

"STOP!"

Sabo's "STOP

A prominent theme in Sabo's work is keeping the establishment accountable by laying their hypocrisy bare for all to see. Sabo's brilliance lies in the fact that he never puts words in the establishment's mouth. He lets their words, actions, and hypocrisy speak for themselves.

This theme is perfectly exemplified in this particular stop sign piece in which Sabo captures one of the more infamous moments when Joe Biden displayed questionable behavior towards minors. Sabo remarked how he had wanted to do a stop sign piece for years because they are, in his words, "so in your face." The perfect opportunity arose when he came across the viral clip of Joe Biden sniffing the hair of the young girl depicted in the poster. He said:

When I saw that particular picture of that girl pulling away from Biden, she was just screaming, 'STOP!' And I knew it was perfect [for the piece].

The media has worked diligently to cover up Biden's questionable behavior with minors. But Sabo isn't giving him a free pass, and he doesn't need to insert his own opinions to do so. He lets Biden's behavior speak for itself.

The theme of letting the establishment's actions speak for themselves permeates Sabo's "Totem" collection consisting of repurposed street signs. Sabo says this collection represents "the collisions our country has suffered throughout the past couple of years." From the COVID pandemic to January 6, Sabo's stark messaging forces the viewer to recall the hypocrisy and corruption latent in the establishment's responses to these landmark events that shook our nation to its core.

In this particular street sign piece, Sabo wanted to commemorate those affected by Newsom's draconian COVID mandates that left thousands jobless, out of business, and destitute while Newsom himself was dining at the French Laundry with the nation's elite:

I wanted to mount [this piece] in Los Angeles because it basically tells a story of this particular time. COVID, Newsom, and I want to commemorate the people who said, 'I love this state, but I have to go.'

Sabo's stark messaging forces the viewer to recall the hypocrisy and corruption latent in the establishment's responses to these landmark events that shook our nation to its core.

The name of the collection, "Totem," came from Sabo's friend who remarked that the pieces reminded him of the Totem poles from Indigenous tribes. Embedded within the Totem poles themselves are the stories of a people, forcing the viewer to recall significant events in their cultural history as it's passed down from generation to generation. Sabo hopes to achieve the same effect through this collection:

In a graphic sort of way, these pieces are like stained-glass art. People would look at them and tell these stories. God willing 100 years from now, if they still stand, people will be reminded of them.

Sabo's work is for the Americans who are fed up and disillusioned with the lack of accountability towards their government. During the pandemic, Americans were censured for going against the mainstream COVID narrative, forced to choose between complying with draconian mandates and putting food on their table, all the while watching their rulers have their cake and eat it too. Two years after the pandemic, the establishment still hasn't been held responsible—and Sabo won't let us forget, despite the ruling class' best efforts.

"Full Mental Jacka**"

Sabo displays his poster, "Full Metal Jacka**," which is inspired from the movie poster of hte Vietnam War-era film, "Full Metal Jacket."

Remember how the Left called Trump a "warmonger" and warned that he would march us toward World War III? Sabo's take on the Vietnam war-era Full Metal Jacket film poster exposes the irony that it is Biden—not Trump—that has brought us to the precipice of a global War. He said:

The thing that Democrats said Trump would get us into, Biden is getting us into. They failed with Afghanistan. There's a war with Ukraine, and we're getting into a war with Russia. And there's China with Taiwan. Now we're here with Israel and Iran. We are headed towards war.

Sabo remarked on the difficulty of preserving his art. Most of his pieces are vandalized on the street or taken down all together, and those pieces that survive are refused by galleries due to their controversial nature. He said:

I hate that art has become so weak that there probably isn't a gallery in this country that would show these pieces of art.

But Sabo also said the struggle behind his work is implicit within the genre itself, that edgy art with controversial messages is often not accepted in its own time. He said:

I think that's what edgy art is really about. At first, it's not accepted. It's shunned. And later on, people will be able to look at it in a different light, and hopefully, that's how it will be with these pieces.

Ironically, several of these pieces from Sabo's collection have been preserved in a museum, but not for the reasons that you would expect. The Smithsonian acquired multiple of Sabo's pieces in their January 6 installment.

"One Bad Dude: Cornpop"

This piece is Sabo's ode to young rappers. Sabo is fascinated with the pro-Trump fervor amongst the new up-and-coming generation of rappers, breaking from their Democrat-dominant predecessors. Sabo says:

Young rappers want Trump because they see what Biden and the Democrats have done to their community.

Sabo once again exposes the irony of the establishment's propaganda. Democrats promised to better the lives of minorities, yet it was Trump who ushered in America's greatest economic era to date, including the lowest unemployment rates for both African Americans and Latino Americans.

Sabo once again exposes the irony of the establishment's propaganda.

Younger generations are experiencing the stark contrast between the Trump-era economic boom and Bidenomics. Sabo said young people "can't afford to eat. They can't afford gas. They can't afford rent," things that they didn't experience under the Trump administration.

The establishment is yet again trying to silence Trump ahead of the 2024 election. Amid an onslaught of indictments and legal suits, Trump has proven one thing: he is a fighter. Nothing exemplifies this more than his mugshot which has become an icon of the resistance against the establishment's onslaught of censorship of those who Trump represents: freedom-loving Americans. Sabo said his rendition of Trump's mugshot was "my way of communicating that he's a bit of a hard thug."

"BLM Loves Hamas Paragliders"

Much of Sabo's art has a short shelf life, and not for a lack of relevance or talent. Most of his art pieces are either vandalized or taken down completely within a day of going public. To deter this vandalism, Sabo said he wanted to "come up with a method where people couldn't reach them," and this collection presented the perfect opportunity.

Most of his art pieces are either vandalized or taken down completely within a day of going public.

Sabo created multiple pieces depicting Hamas paragliders, which has become one of the most haunting images to emerge from the October 7th terrorist attacks that killed 1,400 Israeli men, women, and children, the largest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

This collection calls out BLM's support for the Hamas terrorist, referencing BLM Chicago's tweet in the wake of the attacks that voiced their support for Palestine alongside the same image of the Hamas paragliders. Though they quickly removed the tweet due to backlash, Sabo wouldn't let them get away with it. He said:

I figured the paragliders come from the sky and the air, so it will have the impression of paragliders coming down like they did in Israel. At the same time, I wanted to take a jab at BLM.

Unfortunately, even though the paraglider posters were hung from a telephone wire and streetlights, this didn't deter whoever took them down the next day.

EXCLUSIVE: Tech Ethicist reveals 5 ways to control AI NOW

MANAURE QUINTERO / Contributor | Getty Images

By now, many of us are familiar with AI and its potential benefits and threats. However, unless you're a tech tycoon, it can feel like you have little influence over the future of artificial intelligence.

For years, Glenn has warned about the dangers of rapidly developing AI technologies that have taken the world by storm.

He acknowledges their significant benefits but emphasizes the need to establish proper boundaries and ethics now, while we still have control. But since most people aren’t Silicon Valley tech leaders making the decisions, how can they help keep AI in check?

Recently, Glenn interviewed Tristan Harris, a tech ethicist deeply concerned about the potential harm of unchecked AI, to discuss its societal implications. Harris highlighted a concerning new piece of legislation proposed by Texas Senator Ted Cruz. This legislation proposes a state-level moratorium on AI regulation, meaning only the federal government could regulate AI. Harris noted that there’s currently no Federal plan for regulating AI. Until the federal government establishes a plan, tech companies would have nearly free rein with their AI. And we all know how slowly the federal government moves.

This is where you come in. Tristan Harris shared with Glenn the top five actions you should urge your representatives to take regarding AI, including opposing the moratorium until a concrete plan is in place. Now is your chance to influence the future of AI. Contact your senator and congressman today and share these five crucial steps they must take to keep AI in check:

Ban engagement-optimized AI companions for kids

Create legislation that will prevent AI from being designed to maximize addiction, sexualization, flattery, and attachment disorders, and to protect young people’s mental health and ability to form real-life friendships.

Establish basic liability laws

Companies need to be held accountable when their products cause real-world harm.

Pass increased whistleblower protections

Protect concerned technologists working inside the AI labs from facing untenable pressures and threats that prevent them from warning the public when the AI rollout is unsafe or crosses dangerous red lines.

Prevent AI from having legal rights

Enact laws so AIs don’t have protected speech or have their own bank accounts, making sure our legal system works for human interests over AI interests.

Oppose the state moratorium on AI 

Call your congressman or Senator Cruz’s office, and demand they oppose the state moratorium on AI without a plan for how we will set guardrails for this technology.

Glenn: Only Trump dared to deliver on decades of empty promises

The Islamic regime has been killing Americans since 1979. Now Trump’s response proves we’re no longer playing defense — we’re finally hitting back.

The United States has taken direct military action against Iran’s nuclear program. Whatever you think of the strike, it’s over. It’s happened. And now, we have to predict what happens next. I want to help you understand the gravity of this situation: what happened, what it means, and what might come next. To that end, we need to begin with a little history.

Since 1979, Iran has been at war with us — even if we refused to call it that.

We are either on the verge of a remarkable strategic victory or a devastating global escalation. Time will tell.

It began with the hostage crisis, when 66 Americans were seized and 52 were held for over a year by the radical Islamic regime. Four years later, 17 more Americans were murdered in the U.S. Embassy bombing in Beirut, followed by 241 Marines in the Beirut barracks bombing.

Then came the Khobar Towers bombing in 1996, which killed 19 more U.S. airmen. Iran had its fingerprints all over it.

In Iraq and Afghanistan, Iranian-backed proxies killed hundreds of American soldiers. From 2001 to 2020 in Afghanistan and 2003 to 2011 in Iraq, Iran supplied IEDs and tactical support.

The Iranians have plotted assassinations and kidnappings on U.S. soil — in 2011, 2021, and again in 2024 — and yet we’ve never really responded.

The precedent for U.S. retaliation has always been present, but no president has chosen to pull the trigger until this past weekend. President Donald Trump struck decisively. And what our military pulled off this weekend was nothing short of extraordinary.

Operation Midnight Hammer

The strike was reportedly called Operation Midnight Hammer. It involved as many as 175 U.S. aircraft, including 12 B-2 stealth bombers — out of just 19 in our entire arsenal. Those bombers are among the most complex machines in the world, and they were kept mission-ready by some of the finest mechanics on the planet.

To throw off Iranian radar and intelligence, some bombers flew west toward Guam — classic misdirection. The rest flew east, toward the real targets.

As the B-2s approached Iranian airspace, U.S. submarines launched dozens of Tomahawk missiles at Iran’s fortified nuclear facilities. Minutes later, the bombers dropped 14 MOPs — massive ordnance penetrators — each designed to drill deep into the earth and destroy underground bunkers. These bombs are the size of an F-16 and cost millions of dollars apiece. They are so accurate, I’ve been told they can hit the top of a soda can from 15,000 feet.

They were built for this mission — and we’ve been rehearsing this run for 15 years.

If the satellite imagery is accurate — and if what my sources tell me is true — the targeted nuclear sites were utterly destroyed. We’ll likely rely on the Israelis to confirm that on the ground.

This was a master class in strategy, execution, and deterrence. And it proved that only the United States could carry out a strike like this. I am very proud of our military, what we are capable of doing, and what we can accomplish.

What comes next

We don’t yet know how Iran will respond, but many of the possibilities are troubling. The Iranians could target U.S. forces across the Middle East. On Monday, Tehran launched 20 missiles at U.S. bases in Qatar, Syria, and Kuwait, to no effect. God forbid, they could also unleash Hezbollah or other terrorist proxies to strike here at home — and they just might.

Iran has also threatened to shut down the Strait of Hormuz — the artery through which nearly a fifth of the world’s oil flows. On Sunday, Iran’s parliament voted to begin the process. If the Supreme Council and the ayatollah give the go-ahead, we could see oil prices spike to $150 or even $200 a barrel.

That would be catastrophic.

The 2008 financial collapse was pushed over the edge when oil hit $130. Western economies — including ours — simply cannot sustain oil above $120 for long. If this conflict escalates and the Strait is closed, the global economy could unravel.

The strike also raises questions about regime stability. Will it spark an uprising, or will the Islamic regime respond with a brutal crackdown on dissidents?

Early signs aren’t hopeful. Reports suggest hundreds of arrests over the weekend and at least one dissident executed on charges of spying for Israel. The regime’s infamous morality police, the Gasht-e Ershad, are back on the streets. Every phone, every vehicle — monitored. The U.S. embassy in Qatar issued a shelter-in-place warning for Americans.

Russia and China both condemned the strike. On Monday, a senior Iranian official flew to Moscow to meet with Vladimir Putin. That meeting should alarm anyone paying attention. Their alliance continues to deepen — and that’s a serious concern.

Now we pray

We are either on the verge of a remarkable strategic victory or a devastating global escalation. Time will tell. But either way, President Trump didn’t start this. He inherited it — and he took decisive action.

The difference is, he did what they all said they would do. He didn’t send pallets of cash in the dead of night. He didn’t sign another failed treaty.

He acted. Now, we pray. For peace, for wisdom, and for the strength to meet whatever comes next.

Globalize the Intifada? Why Mamdani’s plan spells DOOM for America

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

If New Yorkers hand City Hall to Zohran Mamdani, they’re not voting for change. They’re opening the door to an alliance of socialism, Islamism, and chaos.

It only took 25 years for New York City to go from the resilient, flag-waving pride following the 9/11 attacks to a political fever dream. To quote Michael Malice, “I'm old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.”

Malice is talking about Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist assemblyman from Queens now eyeing the mayor’s office. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state representative emerging from relative political obscurity, is now receiving substantial funding for his mayoral campaign from the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

CAIR has a long and concerning history, including being born out of the Muslim Brotherhood and named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding case. Why would the group have dropped $100,000 into a PAC backing Mamdani’s campaign?

Mamdani blends political Islam with Marxist economics — two ideologies that have left tens of millions dead in the 20th century alone.

Perhaps CAIR has a vested interest in Mamdani’s call to “globalize the intifada.” That’s not a call for peaceful protest. Intifada refers to historic uprisings of Muslims against what they call the “Israeli occupation of Palestine.” Suicide bombings and street violence are part of the playbook. So when Mamdani says he wants to “globalize” that, who exactly is the enemy in this global scenario? Because it sure sounds like he's saying America is the new Israel, and anyone who supports Western democracy is the new Zionist.

Mamdani tried to clean up his language by citing the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, which once used “intifada” in an Arabic-language article to describe the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. So now he’s comparing Palestinians to Jewish victims of the Nazis? If that doesn’t twist your stomach into knots, you’re not paying attention.

If you’re “globalizing” an intifada, and positioning Israel — and now America — as the Nazis, that’s not a cry for human rights. That’s a call for chaos and violence.

Rising Islamism

But hey, this is New York. Faculty members at Columbia University — where Mamdani’s own father once worked — signed a letter defending students who supported Hamas after October 7. They also contributed to Mamdani’s mayoral campaign. And his father? He blamed Ronald Reagan and the religious right for inspiring Islamic terrorism, as if the roots of 9/11 grew in Washington, not the caves of Tora Bora.

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

This isn’t about Islam as a faith. We should distinguish between Islam and Islamism. Islam is a religion followed peacefully by millions. Islamism is something entirely different — an ideology that seeks to merge mosque and state, impose Sharia law, and destroy secular liberal democracies from within. Islamism isn’t about prayer and fasting. It’s about power.

Criticizing Islamism is not Islamophobia. It is not an attack on peaceful Muslims. In fact, Muslims are often its first victims.

Islamism is misogynistic, theocratic, violent, and supremacist. It’s hostile to free speech, religious pluralism, gay rights, secularism — even to moderate Muslims. Yet somehow, the progressive left — the same left that claims to fight for feminism, LGBTQ rights, and free expression — finds itself defending candidates like Mamdani. You can’t make this stuff up.

Blending the worst ideologies

And if that weren’t enough, Mamdani also identifies as a Democratic Socialist. He blends political Islam with Marxist economics — two ideologies that have left tens of millions dead in the 20th century alone. But don’t worry, New York. I’m sure this time socialism will totally work. Just like it always didn’t.

If you’re a business owner, a parent, a person who’s saved anything, or just someone who values sanity: Get out. I’m serious. If Mamdani becomes mayor, as seems likely, then New York City will become a case study in what happens when you marry ideological extremism with political power. And it won’t be pretty.

This is about more than one mayoral race. It’s about the future of Western liberalism. It’s about drawing a bright line between faith and fanaticism, between healthy pluralism and authoritarian dogma.

Call out radicalism

We must call out political Islam the same way we call out white nationalism or any other supremacist ideology. When someone chants “globalize the intifada,” that should send a chill down your spine — whether you’re Jewish, Christian, Muslim, atheist, or anything in between.

The left may try to shame you into silence with words like “Islamophobia,” but the record is worn out. The grooves are shallow. The American people see what’s happening. And we’re not buying it.

How private stewardship could REVIVE America’s wild

Jonathan Newton / Contributor | Getty Images

The left’s idea of stewardship involves bulldozing bison and barring access. Lee’s vision puts conservation back in the hands of the people.

The media wants you to believe that Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is trying to bulldoze Yellowstone and turn national parks into strip malls — that he’s calling for a reckless fire sale of America’s natural beauty to line developers’ pockets. That narrative is dishonest. It’s fearmongering, and, by the way, it’s wrong.

Here’s what’s really happening.

Private stewardship works. It’s local. It’s accountable. It’s incentivized.

The federal government currently owns 640 million acres of land — nearly 28% of all land in the United States. To put that into perspective, that’s more territory than France, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom combined.

Most of this land is west of the Mississippi River. That’s not a coincidence. In the American West, federal ownership isn’t just a bureaucratic technicality — it’s a stranglehold. States are suffocated. Locals are treated as tenants. Opportunities are choked off.

Meanwhile, people living east of the Mississippi — in places like Kentucky, Georgia, or Pennsylvania — might not even realize how little land their own states truly control. But the same policies that are plaguing the West could come for them next.

Lee isn’t proposing to auction off Yellowstone or pave over Yosemite. He’s talking about 3 million acres — that’s less than half of 1% of the federal estate. And this land isn’t your family’s favorite hiking trail. It’s remote, hard to access, and often mismanaged.

Failed management

Why was it mismanaged in the first place? Because the federal government is a terrible landlord.

Consider Yellowstone again. It’s home to the last remaining herd of genetically pure American bison — animals that haven’t been crossbred with cattle. Ranchers, myself included, would love the chance to help restore these majestic creatures on private land. But the federal government won’t allow it.

So what do they do when the herd gets too big?

They kill them. Bulldoze them into mass graves. That’s not conservation. That’s bureaucratic malpractice.

And don’t even get me started on bald eagles — majestic symbols of American freedom and a federally protected endangered species, now regularly slaughtered by wind turbines. I have pictures of piles of dead bald eagles. Where’s the outrage?

Biden’s federal land-grab

Some argue that states can’t afford to manage this land themselves. But if the states can’t afford it, how can Washington? We’re $35 trillion in debt. Entitlements are strained, infrastructure is crumbling, and the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, and National Park Service are billions of dollars behind in basic maintenance. Roads, firebreaks, and trails are falling apart.

The Biden administration quietly embraced something called the “30 by 30” initiative, a plan to lock up 30% of all U.S. land and water under federal “conservation” by 2030. The real goal is 50% by 2050.

That entails half of the country being taken away from you, controlled not by the people who live there but by technocrats in D.C.

You think that won’t affect your ability to hunt, fish, graze cattle, or cut timber? Think again. It won’t be conservatives who stop you from building a cabin, raising cattle, or teaching your grandkids how to shoot a rifle. It’ll be the same radical environmentalists who treat land as sacred — unless it’s your truck, your deer stand, or your back yard.

Land as collateral

Moreover, the U.S. Treasury is considering putting federally owned land on the national balance sheet, listing your parks, forests, and hunting grounds as collateral.

What happens if America defaults on its debt?

David McNew / Stringer | Getty Images

Do you think our creditors won’t come calling? Imagine explaining to your kids that the lake you used to fish in is now under foreign ownership, that the forest you hunted in belongs to China.

This is not hypothetical. This is the logical conclusion of treating land like a piggy bank.

The American way

There’s a better way — and it’s the American way.

Let the people who live near the land steward it. Let ranchers, farmers, sportsmen, and local conservationists do what they’ve done for generations.

Did you know that 75% of America’s wetlands are on private land? Or that the most successful wildlife recoveries — whitetail deer, ducks, wild turkeys — didn’t come from Washington but from partnerships between private landowners and groups like Ducks Unlimited?

Private stewardship works. It’s local. It’s accountable. It’s incentivized. When you break it, you fix it. When you profit from the land, you protect it.

This is not about selling out. It’s about buying in — to freedom, to responsibility, to the principle of constitutional self-governance.

So when you hear the pundits cry foul over 3 million acres of federal land, remember: We don’t need Washington to protect our land. We need Washington to get out of the way.

Because this isn’t just about land. It’s about liberty. And once liberty is lost, it doesn’t come back easily.
