EVERY California Democrat Voted to PROTECT Illegal Immigrants Who HARM KIDS?!

California State Assemblyman Bill Essayli (R) recently proposed a bill that would have bypassed California's sanctuary state laws ONLY for illegal immigrants who harm children. But apparently, even that was too much for the state Democrats because EVERY SINGLE ONE of them voted against the motion. Essayli joins Glenn to explain why he believes the bill failed: Do these Democrats care more about protecting criminal illegal immigrants than children? Or is this all about party politics? Either way, one thing is clear, Glenn says: California has become depraved!

GLENN: Let's see, we have Bill Essayli on with us. He's been on with us before. He's a California state assemblyman. He's a Republican.

And he put something up, that he knew didn't have a chance to survive, I believe.

However, he wanted -- he wanted everyone to see that every single Democrat in the California House would -- would vote against his bill. And I will let you tell -- let him tell what the bill was.

It just failed this week. Bill, welcome to the program.

BILL: Hi, Glenn. Thank you for having me. Yeah. So we -- I put this bill up. First of all, it was inspired by two specific cases we had coming up in the state of California. One, they reported, Colombian illegal immigrant raped a 14-year-old girl. Went to prison in California. ICE wanted him. They wanted him immediately after his sentence, so they could deport him. Under California law, or sanctuary state law, it is illegal for the sheriff or any law enforcement official to honor an ICE request or to cooperate any way with officials. They put him back in the streets.

GLENN: Jeez.

BILL: And he was picked up later in Boston, Massachusetts. Where they eventually deported him. And that's what first inspired this bill.

Said, why does the state of California's laws protect pedophiles? Why would we do this?

That's what I wrote in the law. Very specific. All the law says is we're rolling back century state (phonetic), as it applies to child sex offenders. If you've been convicted of committing a child sex offense against a minor. You are required to comply with immigration official orders.

GLENN: So it doesn't open up sanctuary state for anything else, other than convicted pedophiles.

BILL: Yes. And that was by design. Of course, if I was running the case. I would reverse policy.

But I said, you know what, we're only 18 out of 80 in here. We're not controlling policy. Let's get them on record. Let's expose the Democrat Party for who they are, and I knew putting this up, they would put them down.

And then we could show the public. They are more concerned about protecting illegal immigrant pedophiles, than they are about doing the right thing and protecting American citizens. That's who these people are.

So I tell you, people start calling me. They do not believe this. It's almost so crazy. People don't believe it. That's where we are.

And then just last week, we had a guy. Illegal immigrant.

He had a rape van, driving up and down the streets of LA. Picked up women and children. And raping them in a van. He is an illegal immigrant. And he's currently protected under our state laws from deportation. We will not deport him from California.

GLENN: You know, I -- California has just become depraved. Hollywood is a big source of this.

It -- it is honestly, depraved. And evil.

What's going on.

And when you have a whole bunch of representatives of the people, and they won't deport pedophiles.

Convicted pedophiles.

And cooperate with the federal government to get them out of the state. We're not talking about anything else. I would like to evict all of them.

But pedophiles. What are the -- what are the voters saying? Is there any uproar about this at all in California?

BILL: The problem with California, Glenn, there's so many bad policies. So many bad bills. We voted on hundreds of bills just this week. It's hard for people to even keep up with what's happening.

So that is why, I try to concentrate. Let's just focus on one issue.

Just one. Let's focus on this.

And luckily, thanks to you, thanks to other media outlets, they're covering these issues. And people are waking up to it.

But if you watch the video, of when I forced a vote on the floor, they wouldn't even let me describe the bill. As soon as I said this bill would roll back sanctuary state for pedophiles, they cut my microphone off.

It's like, they don't even want the public to know what they're doing up there.

When they talk about ten months, show them that video. That's the Democrat version of democracy.

GLENN: Oh, I have to get that video.

We will play that video. Buoy, one of our producers, if you can find that video. Is it on your website or anywhere?

BILL: It's on our Twitter. You can see it on our Twitter, we put the video up.

GLENN: What's your Twitter handle?

BILL: It's @BillEssayli.

GLENN: We'll expose that, and I will tweet that. That's horrific.

It is -- the only way to describe what is -- is happening. Is true evil, and then those who are intentionally blinding themselves. Because it's too horrific to look at. And they don't want to believe their side, is truly that evil.

BILL: Yeah. That's 100 percent right. You know what my takeaway is, Glenn? You know, I serve with these people every day in the Capitol. We did this vote, unfazed, cavalier. It's just another thing on the day. And they just resume walking around. They don't give a damn. They just tonight. It's all about party and politics.

And, you know, the reason they voted against it.

I bet you, some of them didn't even know what they were voting on. Just because that I'm a Republican and I proposed a motion, by extinct they voted down without consideration. That is --

GLENN: Did you have -- did you have any Democrat come to you, in quiet and say, look.
Bill, I understand what you're doing.

And, you know, this is sick. But it will open up the door to all of the -- did you get anybody to privately say that to you.

No. In fact, I get disdain and looks. And why are you doing this? And we -- and this is -- they get mad at me, for forcing the issue. That's the response I get from the Democrat colleagues. And I will be honest, not on this one. But when I do similar things, I get pushback from my own side. Because we have Republicans too, who are trying to do things and pass something. Why are we making them mad? We have to work with them. I will not work with these people. I'm here to defeat these people, and not work with these people. And we have to wake up and know what a real opposition party looks like in this country. We have controlled opposition in our party.

And I'm not about that.

GLENN: Where are you from in California?

Is your seat safe?

HARMEET: I am from Riverside County.

I was born and raised here in Southern California. My parents are immigrants from Lebanon.

And I love this country, and I love this state. And I am not willing to give up on it.

GLENN: I am hoping your seat is safe. Because we are a crusader, and we need those. I don't know if you saw what Tim Scott said this week.

Did you read those? You did or didn't?

BILL: I did not. I have been stuck up in the Capitol.

GLENN: Yeah. He said -- because he put his hat in the ring to run for head of the Senate for Republicans.

And he said, no more working together. This cannot be done.

He said, it is time for a sea change of the Republicans, or we will not save the republic.

And you -- you sound very much like him. And I agree 100 percent.

Thank you, Bill.

BILL: I think there's a new type of conservatism rising, Glenn.

GLENN: They're --

BILL: The new generation.

GLENN: Define it.

BILL: I think the new form of conservatism is what you said, understanding what the principles of the country are. What the republic is. What a Constitution republic is, what limited power is.

And then going into government as for service.

Service to others. Not service to yourself. That's what I see a lot with politics. It should not be a lifelong career.

You go there to represent the people.

And check the power of the government. And check the power of the other parties. And I don't think, that that has been the stance of the Republican Party.

It has been to do the work of the donors. Or do the work of the business. Not the work of the people.

GLENN: Yeah, it is.

BILL: I tell you, it's not easy. You're surrounded by lobbies and big money. And you forget who you are. You forget what your purpose is. And a lot of times, I'm a lot like -- I'm the guy not liked in the room. I'm the one standing up for everyone not there. The public. When everyone is pressuring you to do the wrong thing. It's not easy. But we need people with the right character in public office, and so if you're listening. I would say, please, run.

If you've accomplished something in your life. You have good character.

Run for office. I -- I see, Glenn. Up here.

It's staffers. It's interns. Who become staffers.

Who then run for office.

Or activists. Or Marxists.

I don't see normal, everyday people running for office anymore.

And I think that's a mistake.

GLENN: Yeah. I know in Utah. I talk to some people.

They say, they are now -- the lobbyists are now running just to muck things up, to get the weaklings in.

It's -- it's just disgusting with, what's happening. Bill, thank you for everything you're doing. Appreciate it.

Keep checking in with us. You bet. God bless.

Exposing the dangerous roots of queer theory

In this explosive conversation, Glenn Beck and Liz Wheeler expose the disturbing roots of gender ideology and queer theory — and how these radical ideas are directly targeting children. From the shocking origins of queer theory, where pedophilia and child pornography were openly defended, to Planned Parenthood’s new role as one of the largest distributors of transgender hormone therapy, the truth is undeniable: this movement is not about freedom or equality, but about dismantling families, corrupting innocence, and profiting off of our children’s pain. What we are witnessing is nothing less than a satanic ideology dressed up as compassion — and it’s spreading like wildfire through schools, culture, and medicine. Parents, you need to hear this. The time to protect your children and fight back is NOW.

Glenn's "secret" to conquering the JFK fitness test

President Trump recently signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test and the media is in a frenzy. But Glenn and Stu look back at the history of these tests, including JFK’s version of the Test that seems IMPOSSIBLE for modern Americans. But Glenn has a secret reason for why he’s confident in his pull-up abilities…

GLENN: What is the -- what is the new physical -- the president's physical fitness, you know, plan?

STU: Well, the thing that RFK Jr and Hegseth were rolling out the other day. I don't know if it was the full test or anything, but they were issuing a challenge to America, to be able to do 100 pushups and 50 pullups within five minutes.

GLENN: That's crazy.

STU: Thank you! That struck you as also crazy.

I don't think there's ever been a time in my life, that I could do that. Let alone now with shoulder problems. And much too much weight.

GLENN: All right. But that was before I needed this walker.

STU: I don't think there was a time in my 20s or my teens, that I could do that. But that -- in five minutes? Fifty pullups?
GLENN: Both of them in 5 minutes.
STU: Yeah, both of them. So it's not like 100 pushups in five minutes. It's both tasks within five minutes.

GLENN: No. No. That's not true.

STU: RFK Jr. is just doing it in jeans.

GLENN: Yeah, well, RFK, he's -- he's a weirdo. I mean, he is. Come on. When it comes to fitness, he's a weirdo.
STU: Yes.
GLENN: I mean, he's done this his whole life. He's like 800 years old. He can still do it.

STU: Yes. Depressive, I will say.

GLENN: I don't know. He's a sex machine.

STU: Oh. That's been a problem for him. Yes, that's been an issue in his life. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. Go ahead.

STU: Separate from the president's physical fitness test.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But, I mean, they don't, they don't really think we're going to do that, right?
Like, I mean, how long would that take you to do?

STU: I think for me, it would take a good month. I think a month, I could probably get two pullups a day. That would get me around, a little over 50. So I could do that. Plus, the pushups. A solid month, I could get that done.

GLENN: You could do more than two a day. You could do more than two a day.

STU: You know, Glenn, I've got to say. I think -- I will throw a number out there. No science behind this, so just as a guestimate.

I would say 40 percent of the population can't do any pullups. Maybe 30 percent. Thirty percent of the population can do exactly zero pullups. Precisely zero, so an infinite amount of time would be a correct answer for a third of the population.

GLENN: I think you're -- I think you're being -- I think you're being a little too optimistic. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. Maybe 60 percent.

STU: Right! Pushups are one thing. I mean, I think almost anyone can do a pushup. One --

GLENN: You can do a pushup. Yes. Yes.

STU: Singular pushup. And if you can do one, you can wait long enough, to do a second one.
And at some point, the hundred gets done. That's not the case with pullups. Pullups, you can sit there and think about how much you want to do a pullup for a really long time. But that doesn't make a pullup happen. If you've got a certain amount of weight on you. You're not doing a pullup. It's not occurring.

GLENN: I have no idea, how many pullups I can do.

STU: I have an exact number of pullups, you can do.

GLENN: Do you? You think so?

STU: Yeah. Yeah. I have the exact number. I have to calculate -- AI has been running a report on me. It came up with zero.

GLENN: Right. Right. Really?
I can do. I mean, this is so pathetic. Listen to this. I bet I could do three. You know, you could do three.

STU: In a row? Proper form.

GLENN: What do you mean in a row?

STU: I mean, holding on to the bar, without letting go, you're doing three. There's no way. I don't think so.

GLENN: I think I could do. Well, with proper form, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

STU: I'm not saying it has to look pretty. You have to get your chin up above the bar. It can't be one of those things, where you're a quarter of the way up there.

GLENN: So I can do one and rest for ten minutes. I could do another one.

I think I can do that.

STU: If you -- I'm not saying, you jump up, and you pull yourself up as you're pulling up. Full hang --

GLENN: See, you may not know this.

But you know what, I've done the DNA test. Have you ever done the DNA test that tells you all about your genes and everything else? Mine came back with something remarkable, and I have to share. You might feel bad, next.

STU: Coming up next, Glenn attempts live pullups on the air. Stay tuned!
(OUT AT 8:29 AM)

GLENN: You know no idea what who you're dealing with. No. You don't have any idea who you're dealing with here.

I got my DNA test back like 10 years ago. And we all -- we all took it, because we were looking for things. And so we all took it. My DNA test came back, and everybody in the family, their test made total sense. Like, oh, yeah. That makes...

Then we read mine. We have to find -- I have to find. See if Tania has it still. We should have had it framed. I swear to you, they -- they mixed me up with somebody else.

Somebody else is like, wait a minute. I'm this pathetic? Mine came out and said, you have the muscular structure of a -- of a -- something like a -- an elite athlete. You have the abilities and agility and everything else of an elite athlete. And I'm like, there's not a chance. I don't have any of that!

I don't even know if I have muscles. I have to check once in a while, and go, do I have muscles still?

Doctor is like, I don't know. Can I? Ask just press against my hand on the leg. I don't know.

You know, I don't know how to do that exactly. So --

STU: You sure it said elite athlete and not elephant? I mean, if they misspelled it.

GLENN: It was.

I was having eye problems at the time.

STU: No!

GLENN: I mean, we read it. And I was like Tania, I believe that for Tania.

Maybe they switched me and Tania. Because Tania is really strong. She'll kick your butt.

She works out every day. All of that. Me? Never. Never.

And it kind of makes me wonder, when I get to the other side, and the Lord went, okay.

So what did you do with your life again?

Because I gave this incredible body, and you wasted it the whole time.

And I'm like, you should have been more clear, okay?

You should have been more clear. I -- maybe I could have played basketball. But I tried once. And it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was like sixth grade. And I'll never live -- I don't even want to think about my time on a basketball court. Okay? So don't -- don't start with me. You should have made it a little clearer. When I first started to do stuff. And I think that's fair. I think that's a fair argument. In my defense. In my defense, Your Honor, God, you should have made it a little more clear.

STU: Yeah. I mean, if they really wanted us to do this, then the 11th Commandment is 50 pushups, and -- or, 50 pullups and 100 pushups, right?

Like, put it in a commandment if you really want us to do it. You have to be more specific, we're Americans.

GLENN: Okay. So let me give you the top of the list for the JFK Presidential Fitness Test. Okay? This is what you had to do in high school. In high school.

Thirty-four pullups. Bar dips: Fifty-two. What's -- because I believe I did that. A long time. And I don't recommend it.

STU: It's not a barhop.

GLENN: Oh, it's -- oh, bar dips. Okay. Okay. All right.

Bar dips: 52. Handstand pushups: Fifty. What are handstands?

STU: Oh, my God. Handstands.

GLENN: I can't even stand on my hands. Is that I'm doing a handstand and a push up? Because that's not happening. You're not human.

STU: Yeah. You're balancing yourself on your hands. Your feet are above your hands on the wall. Like a wall. And you're doing --

GLENN: Oh, so you're balancing yourself. That makes it a little easier. Still impossible.

But a little easier.

GLENN: Impossible. You could do precisely zero of those.

Aright. So you had to do 50 handstand pushups.

Or one arm -- 30 -- no, sir.

Twenty-six one-arm burpees in 30 seconds. Is that a one-armed push up?

STU: No. Well, you're bracing your yourself like you're about to begin a pushup in a burpee with only one arm, which that's not that difficult.

But then you're doing. Then you're like, you move your feet towards your hands. And then you jump up in the air basically. And then you do it repeatedly.

GLENN: No, no, no. That's ridiculous. No.

STU: There's a law of gravity. You're not supposed to violate it. If it was a recommendation of gravity, then maybe jumping would be appropriate. But it's not. Follow the law.

GLENN: In 48 seconds, you had to do a 3300-yard shuttle. Now, I've been to the airport. I think I've done a 3300-yard shuttle, but it depends on who is driving. You know.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Rope climb. Try this. Rope climb. Twenty feet, hands only! Sit start.

STU: That's what I remember from the president's physical fitness test. And I remember looking at that rope, like, no chance I could get up that thing.

GLENN: I remember looking up at that thing. Humiliation. Humiliation is coming my way. I'll never kiss a girl, because that ain't happening. I'll get maybe 10 feet up. Maybe. Maybe.

STU: And you were right for 24 years from that time, approximately.

GLENN: Agility run, 17 seconds. Extension pressups, what? What?

I'm sorry. Why am I so tired reading this?

Extension pressups. What's an extension pressup, 8-inch? You had to do 100 of them.

STU: Let's see. Exercise. An exercise for low-back pain involving lying on your stomach and pressing your upper body up with your arms while keeping your hips relaxed and down on the mat.

GLENN: Oh, I could do that know. 8 inches.

STU: The last part of it, relaxing down on the mat.
GLENN: That's what my doctor says I should be doing. What?

STU: I can do relaxed and down on the mat. That part of it --

GLENN: Yeah. I could do that -- I'm the only guy. I took yoga for a while, like three weeks. My wife is like, yoga. You could do yoga. Let's just do yoga together.

I did. And the yoga instructor said to me. Because we were doing a plank.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And she came and all I remember her waking me up. And saying, I think you're the only person I've ever -- ever taught that fell asleep in yoga. And I'm like, it's just so relaxing. Just let me sleep. Let me sleep.

STU: That's interesting, that you did yoga. Is there any footage of that? Any video that we could post? That would be good for --

GLENN: No. There's not. You had to do pegboard. Five trips of pegboard. And I think that's when you have the two pegs.

STU: Yes, it was a board.

GLENN: You have to take it out, and put it up, right?

STU: This is American Ninja Warrior. No way.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

STU: This is amazing.

GLENN: Try this one: You had to do a 45-second handstand. I've never been able to do a handstand. Never!

STU: Never.

GLENN: And I'm an elite athlete. I'm an elite athlete. Try this one: A man carry, 5 miles.

STU: What? What do you mean a --

GLENN: Five-mile man carry.

STU: Is a man carry as obvious as it --

GLENN: I think it is.

STU: You're carrying --

GLENN: If I'm going to carry that man, you have to carry me that man for five miles.

I'm not sure, I can't carry any man for any miles. I mean, if I am -- if I am a firefighter, count on burning in the house. You're going to burn in the house. Because I can't carry you out. I can get in there and go, yeah, I will have to leave you.
I will have to leave you here. I can't help you, sorry.

It's also getting really hot in here. I have to go. You had to do a five-mile jog. An obstacle course.

You had to swim prone for a mile. You had to swim underwater for 50 yards, any strokes, two minutes. Deep waterfront, hang float, with arms. What? What is a deep water hang float with arms. Wait. Wait.

It's a deep waterfront hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes.

What kind of al-Qaeda PE class was this?

STU: Who has access to -- who has access -- like, you're in the middle of the country, you may not have a deep water body nearby. This is -- are you sure this is an actual test?

GLENN: This is the actual test. This is the actual -- what is a deep water front hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes? Can you look that up?

STU: A deep water hang float is an aquatic hang float done in the deep end of a pool with the aid of flotation device, such as a noodle or belt.

In this position, the flotation twice supports your upper body, while your legs and torso hang freely beneath you.

That can't be what it is.

GLENN: You can do that.

Deep-end of the pool.

STU: Can you bring a margarita?

GLENN: Man, this test is no big deal.

What! No way. No way!

Here's the last thing on the test.

A vertical tread in an 8-foot circle for two hours!

No way.

STU: Vertical tread in an 8-foot circle?

GLENN: So you're in the water and you're treading water in a circle for two hours. Two!

STU: This is not -- what?

This is not the test.

GLENN: It is. Now, I told you, this is the top of the test.

This is the top of the test.

So this is for the ones who could do all the other tests.

This was the top of the test. The bottom of the test is not that much better. Here's the entry, okay? Let's see. Pullups, 2/6/10. I don't know what that means. Pushups, 16, 24, 32. Bar dips, four, eight, and 12. Situps, 30, 45, and 60. Broad jump, 6-foot, 6, 6, 6. And 6, 9.

To jump 6 feet? I don't even know if --

STU: That one is possible, yes. Glenn, I know it sounds incredible. But, yes. That one is possible.

GLENN: Sounds incredible. You know, I think we should have the average person Olympics. I really do. I really do.

STU: Oh, I would watch that.

GLENN: I would watch that every time.

You see them coming. And you're like, hmm. That one -- three feet. I'm giving him 3 feet. 200-yard shuttle. Agility run. Rope climb, 18 feet, hands only. 880 yards in three minutes. A mile in seven minutes. Pegboard, six holes. A 50-yard swim. Forty -- 40, 50-yard swim in 36 seconds. Man carry, 880 yards. No, thank you! No, thank you!

Look at -- look at what we've gone down. That's the bottom of it. And I don't think most Americans could do that.

I couldn't. Well, I could. Because I'm an elite -- I have the body of an elite athlete.

STU: No. You could not. Now, of course -- let's just say, this is supposed to be for a high school kid. Right?

So this is the prime of your athletic life. Could you do some of these things? Probably.
GLENN: Go into high school.
Go into any high school, and ask them to do this. There's no way. And all of the kids would be.

STU: Well, that's kind of what the reaction would be.

GLENN: Don't get me wrong. I would have been there too. And my parents would have said, suck it up. Just do it.

So nothing has really changed.

STU: That's been the reaction to this proposal too, of bringing this back. Right? The media is covering this. Like, it's going to embarrass children.

You know, I mean, I do remember it being like, I can't do that. I'm not going to the top of that rope. That's not happening.

That's sort of life. Right? Sometimes you can do things. Sometimes you can't do other things.

GLENN: That's why you have to learn how to injure yourself.

You know, how many stairs can I throw myself down, to not do serious damage, but enough to get me out of PE.

STU: Yeah, you have to fake an why are. You have to learn from LeBron James. Act like you got hit in the eye. And fall down like you were just stabbed over and over again, like you were in an athletic competition.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Whitney Webb: How You Can BREAK FREE of the Chains of the Elites

Are you truly free, or is your life quietly controlled by systems most Americans never question? In this eye-opening conversation, Glenn Beck speaks with investigative journalist Whitney Webb about how the Elites, banks, and global systems have created modern forms of enslavement, all while the public remains largely unaware. They discuss the urgent need for local self-reliance, alternative financial systems, and taking personal responsibility to protect yourself and your family. This is a wake-up call for anyone who believes freedom is guaranteed, and it’s time to see the truth and act before it’s too late.

Claire's warning: The dark side of gender care EXPOSED

Claire Abernathy was just 14-years-old when doctors told her parents she’d take her own life without hormones and surgery. They promised “gender care” would save her life. Instead, it left Claire with irreversible scars, broken trust, and a lifetime of regret. Her mom was told she was required to comply. No one ever addressed the bullying, or trauma Claire endured before being rushed into medical transition.
