Why Democrats May REGRET Choosing Chicago for the DNC

Biden and the Democratic Party are doing everything they can to appease the radical pro-Palestine, anti-Israel wing of the Left. But they may be in for a rude awakening come the Democratic National Convention in August because the city they chose — Chicago — doesn’t just have an insane crime rate. It has the largest Palestinian population in the United States, and many of them are being provoked by radical leftist groups. Just as Glenn predicted back at Fox News, the communists, anarchists, and Islamists are coming together to destroy the western way of life. But it’s no longer just him saying that. Capital Research Center investigative researcher Ryan Mauro joins Glenn to lay out why he believes another “summer of rage” is about to begin.

GLENN: Tonight, we're going to talk about, is a Colour Revolution coming to the United States of America?

And Colour Revolution is many things. But it is top-down, bottom-up, inside-out. We've talked about it for years. It is the way we have overthrown countries. And now I believe our own country are operatives in and out of our own country, have declared a war in America. And our republic itself.

There -- there was a declaration of war, that was -- was -- announced over the weekend.

And it comes from those who support Hamas.

Those who make war, do not deserve peace.
The Palestinian resistance continues to escalate against the Zionist statements institutions and so are we. We will take this building. We refuse to allow normal life to continue, while violence is done to our communities here and everywhere.

We must escalate our actions against all governments. Institutions. And corporations who participate in, profit off of, and enable genocide.

There must be a consequence to their property. Income. Reputation.

Privacy and safety.

This is what they're planning now for the summer.

And a guy, and the fall. And one of the guys who was really been on top of this. And has been studying the -- I think about 100 different groups like this.

Is Ryan Mauro. He's a capital research center. Investigative researcher. And counterterrorist expert. And friend of the show.

Ryan, welcome to the program.

RYAN: Hey, Glenn, thank you so much for having me back.

GLENN: Thank you. So who is this group? And what are the groups that you're looking at? I saw something about a month ago from you that said you were shocked when you got in and started seeing the results come back. Because they're not hiding their connections, to Hamas.

A terrorist group.

RYAN: Right. It's really remarkable in how different from the past rising, that we saw, destroy parts of American cities in recent years, in that, their extremism is just so in your face. And the groups that are behind the student protest. And awful these actions that are happening off-campus.

That the majority of them are openly communist.

Or socialist.

And then they define that in a way that means communist. Anarchist.

Or they have Islamic extremist ties. And you go to their Facebook ties.

You go to their Instagram account.

They're praising the October 7th attack.

What really surprised me. We're used to the situation, where the extremist groups kind of come in and hijack things. And cause a lot of trouble.

And our line on our side, is usually look at how many of them are involved.

The higher percentage than you realize.

This is wholly dominated by militant revolutionists.

And as well as Islamic extremists.

All of them kind of coming together, under this anticolonial revolutionary narrative.

And they're saying that every day.

That this is not just about Israel at all.

GLENN: So you're saying, I want to get this straight. Communist. Anarchists.

Islamists. Are all coming together, to work together, to destroy maybe the Western way of life.

RYAN: Yes. And they worked together before. But now it's like a full integration.

I mean, there are groups that will consist of all those components working together. And calling for violence.

And I mean, just the other day. Like two days ago.

I saw one of these major anarchist groups online. Called the escalate network. That a lot of them follow.

Just blatantly said, that all three people, should send the New York editorial board to hell.

Saying, it was their obligation to actually do that. Make them go to hell. Kill them.

And that just shows, how little reporting is on this.

Because they have thousands of followers. Someone should have caught that.

GLENN: So what are we in for this summer? And this fall?

RYAN: It's going to be bad. And it might be -- it's very possible, that you see a rise, like we've seen before.

But what they're talking about are loss of direct actions. Because they're usually protests in their minds.

So it's more like sabotage.

They're talking about, especially the first week of July.

Blocking ports. Interpreting any kind of shipping going to Israel. A lot of anti-police activities planned.

A lot about fighting them. About doing deer arrest as they call them. Or to pay someone, and everybody swarms and attacks and frees the person.

And then there's just a lot of chatter about the DNC convention in August. And I think --

GLENN: This is 1968. This is 1968 all over again. All over again. Is it not?

RYAN: Yeah. They will regret choosing Chicago. Chicago has the largest House city and population in the United States. And it's like the headquarters for all these radical groups that they put together. I don't know who their security consultants were.

But, man, did they make a bad call.

GLENN: Wow. I didn't know that about Chicago.

I knew that about Michigan and Minnesota. Being very Arab in nature now.

But not Chicago. That's the largest population of Palestinians.

RYAN: Yeah. Just solely Palestinians. Not Arab overall. Or Muslim overall.

GLENN: So let me ask you: The president is doing everything he can, to try to get the Muslim and Arab vote.

And they're saying, no. Move on, from Biden.

Are they serious about that, do you think?

I hate to make this about politics.

But are they serious? Or is that just --

RYAN: Yeah. They're serious. I thought it was just a fake at first.

Now I'm seeing the passion they're putting into it.

And how much credibility they're investigating in it.

So I think a lot of them obviously are just saying it. And are going to switch back to them.

When the time comes. But the people are really into this type of stuff.

This anti-Israel stuff. I actually think they will move away.

Here's the thing. And this is important for the DNC convention. They will make it appear, as if their actual Biden reporters, a part of his base. A lot of them, the anti-communist types. Hated him.

They're not actually his base. So they're going to freak out. Saying, look at all these voters.

All these organizations.

It never happened to begin with, most of them.

GLENN: So why are unions involved in so much of this stuff, all over the world?

Like SEIU is over in Ukraine. They seem to be involved in these things. Are there any unions involved, in this, that you've tracked down funding from?

EDWIN: Yeah, parts of a few. Like different sections of them.

But not wholesale. Certainly, not like a major labor movement. There are some coalitions that will say, labor from Palestine.

You look at them. And the same groups are popping up, under every other coalition name. Pro-Hamas, and actually not representative of any type of labor movement.

But, yeah, there was one -- trying to see. United Auto Workers. Did a walkout, at the university of California.

That's an example. And why this happens, I mean, it just -- they say they care about the issue. I don't know the underlying reason is.

I don't know if I could make a blanket judgment about them.

GLENN: Right.

RYAN: But one of the other things that it's important for people to know, the anarchist elements, the real elements are moving away from taking credit in the name of any organization. They just want the movement to take credit. And that's what happened in my article that just came out about in Chicago, when they see the Institute of Politics and made that Declaration of War.

GLENN: That's terrifying.

RYAN: Right. Yeah.

GLENN: Terrifying.

RYAN: I mean, it was so blatant.

GLENN: No. It is.

It is -- you know, there's one thing to express. That you can't incite violence.

And many my opinion, that is the clearest incitement of violence that I have seen in America.

For a very, very long time.

And is anybody looking into this? Is anybody questioning anything?

RYAN: I don't know how to provide intelligence for the authorities before.

And it's been acted upon.

And I don't know how far-reaching overall effort is.

It's actually hard to get a window into that. Yeah. People will say, well, the group is just a small handful of students. But if you see how the social networks behind all this operate. The statement came out on the major anarchist groups, social media page, and then it was the other major ones.

No. It is reflective of the movement and their objectives. Like they say, overthrowing the system.

And whenever you see one of these far left groups calling the US turtle island. What they're referring to, is basically sort of how they say Israel has occupied Palestine. They're saying, this is occupied Native American land.

What theory saying, the US has no right to exist.

Just as Israel has no right to exist. That's what that is saying.

GLENN: Jeez. Ryan, I appreciate it.

Let's stay in touch this summer. Because I have a feeling, you will be very, very, very busy. But we would like to get on your calendar, whenever you have updates on all of this.

How involved is Open Society Foundation?

RYAN: What's hard researching the grants. Is that there's all sorts of ways to hide money. But when it comes to the grants, of what you get from public records. Is that groups like Open Society. George Soros. Tides Foundation. All these really big liberal groups. They give out grants. And you don't really know, necessarily how they're being implemented.

And so they might give a bunch of money to a pro-Hamas group. You can say, well, it didn't go to the protest.

And it didn't go to sabotage.

GLENN: You would still, you're giving money to a pro-Hamas. I think that's bad enough.

Maybe my standards are --

RYAN: They will say. Oh, we didn't know. It's terrorism.

These pro-terrorism groups. We condemn terrorism. Their definition of terrorism is just a completely different one.

GLENN: Yeah. Ryan, thank you so much. God bless. Keep up the good work. You bet. Ryan Mauro. He's a capital research center. Investigative research and counterterrorism expert.

Been on the program several times. And we're going to go through, some of these organizations. And NGOs that are funding the -- the Colour Revolutions around the country.

And show you some of the -- our researcher, chief researcher Jason Buttrill. Has been working on this for three months, maybe. And we have really done our homework on this. I need to see it. Because you need to see what's coming this summer.

I think Ryan is exactly right, about Chicago, God help us. And the fall.

And these aren't the only groups that are not going to start popping up. They are going to start popping up on different subjects. And they are all going to look disconnected. And they're all going to cause chaos. And -- and God help us. God help us, if somebody, either side is shot and killed, in this -- in this time period.

That's the only thing we're missing from '68, really, is assassinations.

And God help us.

God save the republic.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
