What EVERY American Should Learn From ‘Cabrini’

Glenn Beck is stunned by the new film, “Cabrini.” It’s “one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen,” he says. But it also tells a story that all Americans should learn from, one of true “feminism,” and not the toxic leftist version that Hollywood pushes. Glenn discusses this with the film’s director, Alejandro Monteverde, whose previous film, “Sound of Freedom,” became a surprise box office sensation. Monteverde also gives a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was made and describes how he took influence from “The Godfather” and “Batman” to tell the story of a Catholic nun.

GLENN: If we were anywhere south of the border, this next to the best, I mean, I think I would probably have girls screaming outside of the windows going, oh, my gosh.

You talk to him!

Big, big star in South America and Mexico.

I will introduce him as only a white man can, as Alejandro Monteverde, which is not the way he would say it. But better than the way George Bush would say it. It would be like Alejandro.

Anyway, Alejandro, how are you, sir?

ALEJANDRO: How are you? Thank you for having me on your show. It's a great honor. And, by the way, I met George Bush, after -- you know, when he gave the State of the Union speech.

He picked two immigrants to get into this country, and I was one of them.

GLENN: Wow.

ALEJANDRO: He spoke. He did spoke like what you said.

GLENN: Alejandro was here.

Anyway, so, Alejandro, you are one of the great reasons we love immigrants. You are a guy, big, big star, all over South America, and Mexico.

And as an actor, but you have become, I believe, one of the best filmmakers, in the world.

I saw your movie Cabrini, when it was. I don't even know if it was locked down yet.

And halfway through, I said to one of the producers. I feel like I'm in the screening room with -- with the group that made the godfather.

You know, sitting next to --

ALEJANDRO: Wow. That is one of the most amazing compliments. Because when I worked with my cinematographer, that was one of the inspirations, the Godfather.

GLENN: I'm telling you, you guys nailed that. It is one of the most beautiful films I have seen. But not for an artsy reason.

It just captures a mood, like I've only seen in the godfather.

So you hit that.

The movie Cabrini. You're welcome. The movie Cabrini. Tell the story of St. Cabrini. Because a lot of people don't know her.

ALEJANDRO: Well, you know, just to short, to summarize, she was a warrior. She came here to America, in the late 1800s as an immigrant, a woman with nothing.

With a dream. With a big mission, to build hospitals, and -- and help those in need.

And the ultimate -- Amy Rockefeller, or Vanderbilt. Even though, at that time, when she arrived, she faced a lot of racism against the Italians, and discrimination.

But that's the beautiful (sic) of this country. That did not stop her from building one of the greatest hospitals that New York has ever seen.

GLENN: No.

And, actually, by the end of her life, I believe it was the largest hospital network in the world. I mean, it -- what she accomplished was amazing.

And she became an American shortly after she got here. A few years after she got here. But it shows a woman.

ALEJANDRO: She was an American. Then the first American saint. Which was also very powerful.

GLENN: Yeah. The way you have predicted her. Tell me about the lady who plays her. This movie, Cabrini, by the way. My highest, highest recommendation. This is an incredible movie. So inspirational.

So well-done.

This -- this will show you, how far independent films have come, from conservative media. This is -- you know, put out by Angel Films.

You remember how bad Christian movies were?

This is -- I wouldn't categorize it as a Christian movie.

It's just a movie about this wonderful Christian.

But it is brilliant.

So please, go see it. It's out tomorrow.

Anyway, tell me --

ALEJANDRO: Thank you. Thank you, first of all. It's truly an honor to -- coming from you.

It means a lot.

The reason we -- we -- you know, this is a woman that also divide death itself. Morality, every single day.

She was able to steal, literally decades of life.

They told her, she had two to three years to live.

She kept fighting and fighting.

Look at the amount of faith.

If somebody tells you, you have three years to live, but you have a dream that it will take you 20 years to make. That will put a lot of faith in yourself, to begin with. I needed an actress, that was able to have the power of her eyes from going from a loving eyes, love a child. That is abandoned to the streets, to -- to rapidly change, to have this defiant eyes, to defy all these challenges that were put in front of her.

You know, she fought all the way from the most dangerous criminal. The pain that was prosecuting little girls. To facing, you know, very powerful politicians.

GLENN: Right. And the pope.

I mean, the scene with the pope, where she's like, I'm going to seat pope. And everybody is keep her away from the pope. And he's finally like, I'm not going to mess with this woman. Go ahead. Send her in.

ALEJANDRO: Yeah. She fires me all the time. We take noes too easy nowadays. Somebody takes no, and walks away. She was able to convert a no to a yes. She was able to build bridges. To even be able to work with people that disagree with her.

That's what I think is the problem now, that so relevant to America. Because right now, we're such a divided country.

We should be able to work together, even though we're divided. And she understood that. That we don't have to agree.

But there's people dying outside.

You know, there's -- let's go and help.

And she lives her life for others.

GLENN: Can I go down, just an odd road, perhaps with you?

There was one point, where I leaned over to the producer.

And I said, that's Batman, looking over Gotham. Right?

ALEJANDRO: Yeah! She was wearing a cape. She was wearing a cape.

GLENN: Yes. Did I do these things?

Because there were several places, where I was like, that's a hero shot. That's a hero shot that I've seen. Did you intentionally do that?

ALEJANDRO: Yes. Everything was designed, very intentionally in this film because of COVID.

You know, this, we had to use COVID to our advantage. You know, the movie kept being pushed and pushed and pushed. So we used all that time to keep designing and designing, designing the subtext.

There's a lot of subtext in this film. She lives a very heroic life. She was wearing a cape. So we wanted to present her visually as a hero. As a hero that you see in Marvel movies. But she was a real hero.

GLENN: So well done.

And is it true that -- because I think this is what makes the movie so visually appealing, is it was meant to be shot in black and white, right.

And what happened?

ALEJANDRO: Yes. The whole time the movie was black and white. And when you shoot black and white, it allows you to become operatic. You know, Orson Wells. Citizen Kane. You know, all those films. It's a wonderful life. All those films. It allows you -- Orson Wells used to say, it is impossible, to have bad acting in black and white.

Black and white, allows you to do everything. But most importantly, the reason why I wanted to shoot it on black and white.

Was because she was wearing black. And I didn't want it getting in the way of her story.

Then I thought, well, everybody will be dressed like her.

Black and white. For the entire year and a half, I designed the movie black and white, which is very operatic. Very cinematic. Very orchestrated. Almost like if you're looking in a movie, on Broadway.

So -- and then a week before we started to shoot, Eustace Wolfington, who was the -- person behind -- behind all of this. I called it the Cabrini movement.

He flew in. And I said, well, he came in for two reasons. Either, he's firing me.

Or he's telling me, it's not going to be black and white. That is the only two reasons. Everything else, you can tell me on the phone. Why is he flying in to see me.

And it is the second one.

It's not going to be black and white.

But this point, I already designed the movie.

When you designed the movie for black and white. Like Citizen Kane.

You take a lot of creative licenses. And it was too late to go back.

And if -- you know, I didn't know if it would work. So when I finished the film.

I went into a deep, deep depression for two weeks.

Because I didn't know if this movie would work. Because I had shot it. Designed it from black and white. Would have shot it in color. Though, it was the most dark -- I went into a dark place for two weeks.

GLENN: Jeez.

ALEJANDRO: And then I saw the first cut, and I was like, oh, it worked!

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

ALEJANDRO: So it was a risk.

GLENN: It is the most visually stunning movie, that does not detract -- you know, sometimes people do it for art's sake. And blah, blah.

This is just visually stunning and helps tell the story.

I mean, Alejandro, you don't need this from me. But I truly believe, you are one of the -- if not the best director around today, you are going to be legendary. I believe. And it's just a matter of -- it's just a matter of time.

You are just -- it's brilliant.

ALEJANDRO: Truly. Because we've been in a fight.

And I want -- you know, I've never heard that. And more coming from you, it's shaking my heart.

But I want to say something. You know this very well.

You know, if we don't -- if we don't have the big billboards. You know, we're competing against Dune.

So the only way a movie like this can survive, is if enough weekend people will see it, otherwise we'll be kicked out of theaters. So I cannot tell you how important it is, that people come out on opening weekend. Because they are our billboards. The billboards is the word-of-mouth. People coming out of the theaters and sharing their experience, their cinematic experience with audiences. You know, our audiences are the billboards.

GLENN: Well, I will tell you, I saw it in a studio projection room, and I went home. And I've been telling my family about this movie ever since. And we will all be in the movie theater, tomorrow.

I can't wait to see it again.

It is so good.

ALEJANDRO: Thank you so much.

I can wait for you. There are two or three -- I wonder if you'll be able to spot them. I think you will, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah. Alejandro, thank you so much.

And keep up the good work.

You are fantastic. Really, and Cabrini is a piece of -- really, a piece of art. It really is.

ALEJANDRO: And I'm so grateful. So grateful for your support. But thank you so much.

GLENN: You bet. Alejandro Monteverde.

Filmmaker, and I really mean this.

I think he is -- he's going to be remembered with all of the greats. I have been a fan of his, when he started making smaller movies.

And he made Little Boy, which I thought was just fantastic, captured the spirit of America in World War II like very few people can do. And he also is responsible for the -- the Sound of Freedom. And now Cabrini. And this is amazing, and a great, uplifting story. You will just love it.

Find it at a theater. Like he said, this weekend, is really important. Because they -- the reason why Sound of Freedom Know did well is because more movie theaters open up. On the opening weekend, if they have a big opening weekend, then more theaters will go, you know what, I'll give that a try. And if you don't support these things, on the opening weekend, and you will -- just go to support filmmakers. We have come from really bad movies, to brilliant, brilliant pieces of work.

And this is the best I've seen from a conservative. And it's one of the best I've seen from anyone.

It's called Cabrini. See it this weekend.

Glenn Beck: America is ONE STEP AWAY from COLLAPSE

Americans on both the Left and Right are losing trust in our institutions FAST. Without this trust, empires across history have collapsed. Glenn reviews the 7 stages of civilization, which eerily describe the rise and fall of many empires, including possibly the United States. Have we reached the final stage before total destruction? Glenn believes it’s very possible…and there’s only one or two steps left before collapse. But there is a way for us to turn around, and he believes FBI Director Kash Patel could make a big difference by releasing the TRUE evidence surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death.

GLENN: We've been -- we've been talking about all of the lies that have been told.

Who believes anymore that the traditional media is telling you the truth on anything?

Who believes, that, you know, the media didn't know about Joe Biden.

Who believes that Joe Biden's cancer is a new subject?

Now, that someone hard. Because that very well could be brand-new. But it also, because we don't believe in so many other things. It might have been known when he was still in the White House.

We don't know. But do you believe it?

I'm not asking you what you know, I'm asking you what you believe. Then Kash Patel comes out, along with Dan Bongino.

Two very credible people, on our side.

On Donald Trump's handpicked inside team.

And they say, the -- the Epstein suicide, was a suicide.

And my first response was, uh-uh.

And then I immediately went, but it's coming from these guys. I believe these guys.

I know these guys. So then I started getting into critical thinking.

Okay. What would it take for me to believe them?

And they just have to show us, what they saw.

Because that's a role reversal. They've switched!

They've said it wasn't a suicide.

Never now, all I need to know is, what did you see?

And show it to me!

Okay. Why is this important to use critical thinking?

We just went through four of the seven stages of -- it's called the seven-stage cycle of civilizational collapse.

Okay?

First, the age of pioneers. That's the revolutionary war. Then the age of conquest.

That's the expansion out west. The age of commerce.

That is the really -- the 20th century. Early 20th century.

The age of affluence. Beginning around the Reagan years, where the decay guns. And it becomes about leisure and stuff.

And then fifth, and this is where the last time I read this, I thought we were here, and maybe a little in the sixth. Maybe.

The age of intellect.

Elite rule and fragmentation. Experts and technocrats dominate. Reason replaces faith. Society becomes obsessed with process, bureaucracy, identity, and division. People grow disconnected from elites. Populist backlash begins.

This is France pre-1789. Weimar, Germany, in the 1920s. And the US, post-2000.

The values, relativism, narcissism, hyper-education with moral void. So technocrats dominate? Yes. Reason replaces faith? Yes. Society becomes obsessed with process? Yes. Bureaucracy? Yes.

Identity? Absolutely. And division? The people grow disconnected from elites? Yes. Populist backlash begins? 2016.

Yes. Then you get into the sixth stage. The age of decadence. Moral decline and decline of courage.

Tell me if you can't check every box on this one. National identity collapses.

Hmm. Almost there. Almost.

Immigration, without assimilation. Yes. Public debt surges? Yes. Breads and circumstances replace responsibility? Yes.

Political corruption is normalized? Yes.

Gender confusion? Yes. Family disintegration? Yes. Loss of fertility? Yes. The use of drugs? Yes.

Hedonism dominates? Yes. That's Rome the third through the fifth century. And is this us today?

The values, hedonism, nihilism, and entitlement.

I think yes, yes, and yes.

Then you get into the last phase. Would you agree, Stu, that we've hit everything else in that?

STU: Yeah. We're -- we're here. At some degree or another, we've hit all of those.

GLENN: Okay. The age of decline and collapse. Disintegration.

There is only two things. Number one, internal distrust. Factionalism, and scapegoating.

That's the first. All of that is where we are today, with those stories.

Internal distrust. I don't trust anything. Do you?

Factionalism? Hello! MAGA.

And the -- what? Anti-MAGA. You're either a racist or an antiracist.

And scapegoating.

I don't know.

Jake Tapper. How is your book going?

I think we're there! The last thing to happen, currency collapse. Loss of external power or invasion.

When Donald Trump is in power, I don't think we're going to lose the external power or invasion, unless our currency collapses. And our currency collapse could happen. Nobody -- did you see they downgraded us, yet again, Stu?

You remember 2008?

I'm saying in 2006. 2007. And we will lose our AAA+ status. They will downgrade us.

The -- the quote was, never, from every institution in America. Never.

It will never happen. Ever, ever, ever, ever. It will never, ever happen.

Well, it happened in like 2009. Then it happened again '12 and '16. And they just did it again.

So currency collapse is on the board.

Values, of this era, despair, tribalism, and the choice between authoritarianism or anarchy.

We're there! Okay.

So I don't tell you this to bum you out.

I tell you this, because there is something you can do.

That's why I started today's show with those questions. We must -- I believe this is a national emergency. And I believe Donald Trump should declare our trust in these institutions, a national emergency. We must be transparent.

This is why I said, I want Kash, and I want Dan Bongino, to show the American people what changed their minds. I would love a hearing on it!

And not some big drawn-out, you know, hearing in Congress with the budget. I just want to see. I want to see the files because internal distrust is a choice!

Because if you're saying today, I don't believe Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, which I'm stuck. Because I do believe them.

I just -- I think I don't have enough information to go with them on this.

I believe in them, but I also believe that Epstein killed himself.

Sorry, my throat is killing me.

STU: I mean, liked the fact that you crunched the ice, as you took the sip.

GLENN: I believe them. I just believe also that Epstein killed himself. That he didn't hang himself with a paper sheet.

Those two don't match. When something doesn't match.

You have to go back and say, which one do you actually think is right? I can't. Because I don't have enough information.

But I must do that.

Because trust and distrust, at this point, is a choice!

Now, let me show you where distrust leads.

If you don't trust Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino, then you can't trust the FBI and the DOJ.

And anything that they're doing there. That's pretty bad.

Because we just have the biggest reformer in, of all time.

A guy who said, he would reform those two institutions.

That he would be transparent. And he hired these two guys. And we all cheered for those two guys.

So if you don't trust them, if you just immediately go, something is wrong.

I don't trust them. Without saying, here. I don't trust, that that is true.

But I want to see what changed their mind.

Then your next step is: Well, does Donald Trump know?

And if he doesn't do something about them, on something this egregious, they're clearly covering something up.

Then I have a problem with Donald Trump. Where does this end?

This ends in -- this ends in guillotines in France.

This is what happens. You betrayed the revolution.

No! I didn't. That's just not true.

So the good news is, this is -- this is up to you.

These things can be reversed. They just haven't been. But they can be reversed. For instance, why would our currency collapse?

Because we're being downgraded. Why are we being downgraded.

Because we're spending too much. Why are we spending too much?

Because the people in Washington won't listen to the American people. They have no courage!
Back to stage six. Decline of courage.

That means, we need more people who have courage, that will say, this is the end of the republic, if we don't do certain things! So where will you stand today?

Will you dedicate yourself to not changing what you believe, per se, but at least demanding critical thinking answers for good, critical thinking questions. Pragmatism I don't believe you. Thus, I am asking you to produce and have a conversation with the American people, to show us what changed your mind.

Show us the facts.

We must restore trust!

Did someone HACK the Mexican ship that CRASHED into the Brooklyn Bridge?

A Mexican Navy ship has crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge and Glenn wants answers: Why are so many massive ships crashing into major US bridges?! Is it really just coincidence that these ships, including the Dali that hit Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge back in 2024, keep losing power around these bridges? Glenn demands investigations into these incidents that look for the possibility of foreign foul play. Are our enemies using these instances as “shark bumps” to show off their hacking capabilities and see how the US responds?

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Wow. All right. Well, what was on the last episode was another giant ship hitting another giant bridge.

STU: What is happening?

GLENN: Now -- now, I've never seen this in my lifetime. Okay? I mean, I'm 62. I've seen it happen now, two times, and it's been recently.

I don't know about you, but I think -- I think there's a problem. Now, what's happening?

Two ships. Two major American bridges, less than, what? A year and a half apart from each other?

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Both ships lose power. Now, we've seen this happen before. We've seen other ships lose power. I'll get into that here in a second.

Recently, Baltimore. March 2024. Francis Scott Key bridge collapses into the river because a Singaporean cargo ship, the Dolly, loses propulsion, slams into the support column. Six workers are killed. The whole country watches in shock.

And you're like, wow! That doesn't happen.

Well, then again, on Saturday, it happens again. A Mexican Navy tall ship loses power while departing New York harbor.

It drifts straight into the Brooklyn Bridge. Two sailors die.

Dozens were injured. The mast shattered like match sticks. The Brooklyn Bridge, an icon of American resolve, shakes. But apparently, everything is okay!

Now, first of all, our condolences to all of those who were on the ship, that lost their lives or were injured.

We feel for you. That was an awful -- they were all standing there on the masts. Can you imagine standing there and going, we're not stopping. We're not stopping. I've got to get down. Then when the mast goes down, you saw them. They were all tangled in the ropes.

And they were just hanging there. Some of them upside down. It's nuts!

Okay. So the reason for that one, we're told.

Again, power.

Okay. Okay. Maybe once. Maybe twice.

Both on foreign vessels.

Both involved with high-profile American infrastructure. Now, we've been talking the last hour about trust. And I'm sorry. I just don't trust that this is -- if this is what it is. Then we should stop having computer systems run everything on these ships.

Okay? This is the only reason why -- you could say, well, no. We just put in these new computers, athat are running these ships, and nobody has ever seen computers run things like ships before.

And we don't know if they're safe and stable yet.

Then don't put them in the ship!

If there's a problem with that, why don't we know there's -- I can't use my phone an airplane.

Why?

Why?

Because the FAA couldn't come up with a reason, we had a plane crash.

I think it was in Long Island years ago.

And they were like, cell phones!

And we've been being told to turn off our cell phones and everything else.

Because it interferes with the navigation systems on the plane!

It does, what?

Excuse me?

What does it do?

Nobody believes that.

Nobody believes that.

Okay?

That is not true. Just not true. How come -- if you've ever flown in a private plane, they don't tell you that.

Is there something special in private planes that makes their super, super navigational systems so much better than it is on a commercial airliner?

No!

It's a lie. It's a lie. So what's wrong with these ships?

Do you remember the ship that also lost power, and then made like a loopedy-loop and then slammed into another ship, that was I think off the coast of Singapore?

Remember that? It happened like three, four years ago. It was this insane thing, where we lost power and navigation. I mean, it was two, like, large freighters. And I think it was a freighter and a Naval ship. And it just pounded into the Naval ship.

Well, we lost power, and lost navigation.

Okay. All right. There's something happening in the pit of my history section of my stomach that says, Hmm.

This isn't -- this isn't right. Warning bell. Okay? What history would tell me is these are shark bumps. Okay? Do you know what a shark bump is?

I worked with Anderson Cooper one time. And we were sitting, getting ready to -- he was doing his show on CNN. I was doing my show on CNN Headline News.

Which is strangely has better numbers now, than any show on CNN currently. But, anyway, so I'm getting ready to do my show on CNN Headline News.

And, and walks in.

And he was always very kind. You know, to me. And we had a nice relationship.

STU: Yeah. He always was.

GLENN: Yeah. And he said, what did you do this weekend?

And I said, I took my kids, I don't know. To the park or whatever.

I said, what did you do?

And he said, I went shark diving off the coast of Australia.

I was like --

STU: You get a lot of those weird stories.

GLENN: I was like, oh, okay.

I haven't done that. I said, why would you do that know.

He said, well, we were going to make a doc on it. And something happened. And he said -- you know, I justmented to be in the cage and have the sharks. You know, to see the sharks.

And I'm like, I could live my whole life, without ever doing that. And he said, and then when they pulled the cage up. I'm coming out. And he said, it was pretty wild when you're in the cage. And he said, then I see the captain of the ship, as the cage is coming up. He's getting ready to dive. And I said, what are you doing? And he said, I'm going to go dive and just be with the sharks for a minute.

Okay. What the hell is wrong with these people? All right. Maybe all the blood is constantly -- it can't get to their feet or something, coagulated in their head, because they're upside down?

What is wrong with you people? So he says, I would like to go with you. And he said, oh, this is only for experienced divers. And, and said, I'm an experienced diver. I got all my license and everything else.

And he was like, oh, okay. So come on. You can come with me.

Now, Anderson didn't have any of those things. He's not an experienced diver. This was his first time. He puts on everything, and he goes off the back of the ship with the -- the captain.

Just before they do that, the captain says, by the way, they're going to come up to you, and they're going to bump into you. Do not move. Because if you do, they'll eat you.

And he said, I'm sorry. What?

He said, don't move. They bump into things. To see the reaction. If you're just a floating, you know, bag of something they don't want to eat, it won't move.

But if you move, they'll eat you. He said okay.

All right. Now, this is, again, the time that I take off, you know, the -- the eye mask. And I'm like, okay.

Have a good time.

I'm staying here.

He goes down.

And the sharks do just that.

And he's -- I was sitting here and listening to him. And he was like, oh, you wouldn't believe what it's like, to have one of these great whites come up and bump you in the chest.

And I'm like, no. I can't imagine that. I may not have moved. But there would have been poop in the water everywhere, okay?

So that's what I get here.

So I think what's happening is these are shark bumps. These are, I don't know.

A, a country. Multiple countries. I don't know.

Can we collapse the navigational system on ships?

Can we cover it up enough, and can we take control of ships, and just let people in the upper end know, oh, boy.

Look what they're doing.

I think this is -- that's what this looks like.

This looks like the opening act to a war. A different kind of war.

But a war. That one we're not even allowed to call a war yet!

And what chills me the most is the silence on this.

The mainstream media. They didn't blink on this.

Government assures us, nothing to see here.

Same experts that tell you, that men can have babies. Are telling you, it's just a coincidence.

I'm sorry. Can you show me exactly how this is happening so many times?

Because maybe it is!

But if that's true, maybe we should stop with that kind of navigation system, on these ships! Maybe it's not ready for prime time!

And ideas it always seem to lose power and navigation right around an American bridge!

Right around a Naval ship. A US Naval ship. Or two US bridges.

Why -- why is that happening?

Now, there's a shipping giant, I guess it's Maersk. M-A-E-R-S-K. Right? Maersk. The shipping giant had its entire global system shut down by ransomware in 2017. Did you know that?

The Navy has had ships colliding multiple times since 2016. Again, what was blamed?

Steering loss, or loss of power. Ask the port of Los Angeles, which just last year, was under daily cyber attack from foreign adversaries. You don't need a missile to hit us anymore. You need somebody with a keyboard, and some bad code!

And let me ask you this: What kind of war doesn't even need a tent, just capability?

Because when infrastructure is digitized. When our bridges, our tugboats, our radar systems. Our engine controls, all depend on centralized code. It doesn't take a villain in a cape.

It takes a firmware update.

Or a rogue packet of data from a US bee sting. Remember, before 911, the intelligence community had over 40 separate warnings, that something big was coming. They just didn't connect the dots.

Well, we have several dots here, and they all seem to -- they all seem to lead to the same thing: power or steering loss.

Somebody should solve that, if it's a software, or a -- a hardware problem. Solve that.
How come I'm not hearing about that?

You can't just keep saying, yeah. That's a steering loss. And then we just accept it.

No, this is national security. Is anybody serious about national security? Anybody.

Now, I'm not saying that this was an attack. But this is -- this is exactly what it would look like, if it was.

This looks like a shark attack. Or a shark bump. Except, this time, the shark is seeing how you're going to move.

By us not moving, it makes that foreign shark. Or whoever might be doing it, more apt to eat us.

If we move and harden things, it makes them less apt to eat us.

So when a shark bump with a real shark bump. You don't move.

In this particular scenario, where it could be a foreign adversary, give is us a shark bump. You must move!

And I haven't -- I haven't seen anything, yet.

We need cyber forensics on all of those boats.

Independent experts. Not just the insurers or foreign governments.

Independent experts.

We need an immediate national audit of our port, bridge, and maritime infrastructure vulnerabilities.

So electromagnetic or cyber interference.

And we need -- we need people to at least start investigating the possibility of hybrid sabotage.

I believe we're being tested. Are we going to do the same thing with the 40 things that happened before 9/11.

And not connect the dots.

Or are we going to go, you know, it might not be that.

But we should be all over this.

Glenn Beck: EVERY TAXPAYER should stand up against this

“The Left is becoming so incredibly radical,” Glenn Beck laments in a fiery rant. “Every taxpayer should raise holy hell,” he says, over California’s latest change to its Medi-Cal program. After offering coverage to illegal immigrants, California’s Gavin Newsom has now realized that the program is bankrupting the state even more! But instead of ending it, he just ended SOME of it. California can destroy itself, Glenn says, but the rest of America shouldn’t give a DIME to bail out the state! Glenn also reviews a few more examples of how radical the Left has become: A mob of leftist protesters recently caused a scene at a congressional hearing with RFK Jr., a congresswoman tried to storm into an ICE facility under the guise of “oversight,” and AOC is threatening DHS for doing its job.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: There was some unhinged leftists.

Now, that's a little redundant.

But some unhinged leftists were at the RFK hearing. Where he's -- he's talking to the House appropriations committee.

And some crazy protester erupted, you know, in just what they do.

And if you're watching TheBlaze. I want you to watch this. Or listening to it if you're on the radio.
(music)
(inaudible).

VOICE: It will come to order. Members of the audience, may I remind, disruptions will not be tolerated.

GLENN: I guess they were saying RFK lies, people die. I don't. Maybe it was about Hamas. Maybe it was about too many umbrellas. I don't --

STU: It was. Too many umbrellas.

GLENN: Too many umbrellas?

STU: Far too many umbrellas for sun and for rain?

What is that?

That's everything!
(laughter)

STU: I'm with them, frankly.

Too many.

GLENN: So we have -- so we have JFK -- or RFK.

Now, did you see if you were watching, did you see his reaction?

Watch again just the very beginning of it.

VOICE: RFK!

GLENN: Stop.

STU: He looks terrified. He looks like he's going to be shot.

STU: As a Kennedy, I can see that.

GLENN: Yeah. You don't do that to a Kennedy.

Now, here's what's crazy. These are radical leftists. Stu, when did people stop considering his radical leftist lifetime record?

STU: I don't know. That perplexes anyone on this one.

GLENN: He has been a radical leftist for a very long time.

STU: Yeah. I would think, there's probably examples of other hearings back in the day. Where people were doing that type of protest on his behalf. Right?

Not that he asked for it. But thinking they were aligned with him certainly on climate issues. And now, all of a sudden. I guess you get involved with Donald Trump, and everybody turns.

GLENN: Yeah. So let me go back to the testimony. Cut one, please.

VOICE: So do you agree with the cuts that are being proposed for Medicaid right now?

VOICE: Oh, the cuts. This is -- I don't know if you understand this. Or whether you're just mouthing, you know, the democratic talking points. The cuts to Medicaid are for fraud, waste, and abuse. And I'll tell you what that means. It means, because of DOGE, we were able to determine.

It's about 8 million people, what would be affected.

Because of DOGE, we were able to determine, that there were million people claiming Medicaid from multiple states. It's illegal. It's theft. You're not allowed to do that.

There are another million people that are collecting both you under Obamacare.

VOICE: That has nothing to do with --

GLENN: These are the only cuts that are being made for Medicaid.

VOICE: That's not true.

GLENN: It is. Another million illegal aliens.

We announced a law yesterday. Yesterday, they were not going to pay illegal aliens. Guess what Gavin Newsom did this morning?

He said, we'll take all the illegal aliens off the California Medicaid policy, because the feds aren't paying for them anymore. So the compassionate --

VOICE: Let me focus to you --

GLENN: It's incredible!

How no one is actually listening to facts anymore.

I mean, it's one thing, when you're not listening to facts, you know, from Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

Right? We can argue about facts all day. And we -- whatever.

This is RFK, arguing with Democrats about Medicaid, fraud, abuse, and he's saying, we're just taking people off that are illegally using Medicaid.

Who is against this?

Honestly, again, who is against this?

Now, Gavin Newsom is putting everybody on California aid. Excuse me, California?

How are you going to afford that? Every taxpayer, left, right, center, every taxpayer in California should be raising holy hell. Will they?

STU: No.

GLENN: No. They won't. They won't.

How are you going to pay for that?

Your state is going to collapse economically.

Now, you know why the Democrats are not worried about that, is because that's part of the plan!

That is Cloward and Piven.

Collapse and overwhelm, and collapse the system. And they -- they have already done it. They did it in New York City, back in the '70s. And New York City collapsed. Now they're doing it to states. And it's going to happen the same way.

And I'll be damned if I am going to send my taxpayer dollars to California, because you didn't have the balls or the brains to stand up. Not doing it.

I'm not doing it. Hey, dummy, only one of us is going to be right in the end, about your financial collapse. And everybody who can put two plus two equals four, down on a table, not seven. And even if you show me your work. But four, this is simple math.

You are going to collapse. Why am I going to pay for it?

You come to the United States of America. And you ask us to bail you out. And anybody in Congress, that is from my state, I will -- I will make it my mission to put you out on the street!

I will make it my mission, if you vote to bail California out. But we have to have California.

Do we? Do we?

Do we really?

Honestly, I'm not -- I didn't sign up for a suicide pact. I moved to Texas for a reason.

I didn't -- I didn't want to be a part of the suicide.

Well, no. They're committing suicide. So we all have to. What kind of cult are you in?

My gosh. And -- and look at what the Democrats are doing. Look at what the left is doing.

The left is becoming so incredibly radical, you had in Newark. You had, what was her -- what was her name?

The congresswoman. I wrote it down. Congresswoman, shoot. Something.

La Monica MacGyver.

This week on MacGyver. We assault ICE agents in Newark, New Jersey. So MacGyver went out.

Congresswoman goes out. And is pretty clear.

Assaults these officers. And tries to storm in, as part of oversight.

That wasn't oversight. That wasn't oversight.

You know what it really was? Pray setup.

Because I want you to play the AOC comment from a couple of days ago. Where she commented on this. Because Homan says -- in fact, play Homan first. No one is above the law. Listen to this.

VOICE: Did you want the Congresswoman, who was caught on camera, assaulting ICE agents, to be arrested for that?

VOICE: No one is above the law. (inaudible). We put our lives on the line for you. Be smart. The safety and security of -- some of the worst -- you can't destroy the city. I said day one, you can not support ICE. You can support Century City. Shame on you. But don't cross that line.

GLENN: Okay. So the government, you know, now the government that is sane, at least is saying, look, I don't care who you are. Right, left, pink, purple, black, white. It doesn't matter. You assault a police officer, you go to jail. But that's just something I've always grown up with.

STU: What about January 6th, Beck? January 6th. You didn't like those people go to jail.

GLENN: Yeah. I will have another conversation with you, about the rule of law and due process. But that's for a different time.

Now, what are they doing?

Now AOC comes out with this warming.

VOICE: And now what DHS is trying to say. Again, they're using public intimidation. Because they know they can't come for us all. Then know they can't come for us all. And recently, what they said is that DHS is looking into arresting members of Congress. Who are showing up for their legal and constitutional obligation to conduct oversight.

If is breaking the law in this situation. It's not members of Congress.

It's the Department of Home Security.

It's people like Tom Homan, and Secretary Kristi Noem.

You lay a finger on someone -- on Representative Homan on representative -- or any of the representatives that were here, you lay a finger on them, we are going to have a problem. Because the people who are breaking the law. Are the people who are not abiding by it.

GLENN: Oh.

VOICE: And it is enshrined in the law, that members of Congress, who show up to ICE and CBP facilities are required to be granted access. Legally required to be granted access. And they legally cannot be inhibited from accessing these facilities, to conduct their constitutional obligation, to -- to investment and conduct oversight.

So if Kristi Noem wants to break the law.

That's on her.

GLENN: Okay.

STU: How can anyone take this person seriously?

GLENN: I know. I know.

STU: They just did a poll. Who was the face of the Democratic Party? She was number one. This complete moron, bartender from five years ago.

GLENN: Her.

STU: Is the face of the party now. Which, I mean, is perfectly just.

GLENN: It's reasonable.

STU: It should be.

GLENN: If you've been watching the Democratic Party, it's reasonable that she would be the leader now.

They're socialist. They're stupid. They're nothing, but activists.

They're nothing, but chosen puppets. For I don't know who is pulling all the strings on the democratic party. But that's who she is. She's just a little puppet. She's just a little chosen puppet. Hey. You know what, bartender, we can make you a star.

And we have that all backed up. We did a show on her, early on.

How she was selected.

How she was elected. I mean, she was selected. She's a little puppet.

It makes total sense. That she's the face of the Democratic Party.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Undercover FBI Agent Battled a DEMONIC Underworld | Scott Payne | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 257

“There are a lot of people out there who just don’t know how evil the world can be,” says Scott Payne, a retired undercover FBI agent who spent his career infiltrating violent motorcycle gangs and white supremacist groups. After growing up in a Christian home, he briefly fell into Satan worship until an encounter with a real demon sent him running back to his Baptist church. But that wasn’t his only face-off with a dark underworld in a career marked by burning Bibles, lighting crosses, and sacrificing goats, while undercover with the KKK and a new strain of young white supremacist chaos agents known as “accelerationists.” He and Glenn discuss George Floyd, Gretchen Whitmer's kidnapping, Aleksandr Dugin, and the humanitarian costs of an open U.S.-Mexico border. Scott reveals the connection between gangs, cults, extremism, and even radical jihad but says he remains an optimist through it all thanks to his family, the prayers of his wife, and his relationship with Jesus. In a time when so many don’t trust law enforcement or the FBI, Glenn asks Scott, “Is the FBI good or bad?” You’ll have to decide for yourself.
