EXPLAINED: How Biden just made our border crisis EVEN WORSE

Despite the mainstream media not reporting on it for a while now, our southern border crisis never actually ended. And not only has continued from the day President Biden entered the White House, but it’s been getting WORSE. And now, the Biden administration’s latest move with Title 42 means it likely will worsen significantly once again. The Department of Homeland Security is bracing for a HUGE influx to the border in May. It’s going to be absolute chaos, and America’s enemies will have a chance to take advantage of that mess. In this clip, Glenn and Stu explain all the details…

GLENN: I want to talk to you about what is happening on our southern border. On May 23rd, the president is lifting title 42. Now, I'm going to explain all of this in a second. But the DHS is now bracing, and I'm quoting, for as many as 500 thousand migrants in the first six weeks. 500,000 in the first six weeks. They're talking about taking doctors from our VA hospitals. And bringing them down to the border. Can you think of a good reason? Can you even think of a political reason to do this, unless you just want to cause chaos and destruction? People say, well, they want voters. No. No. No. Because they'll lose too many voters, on just this. Really? Is that what they're looking for. Help me out. Because it happens on May 23rd. And gosh, if we keep going at this pace, there may not be a company left to vote in. By the fall. We begin there, in 60 seconds.

Okay. Welcome to the -- welcome to the program. We're -- we're so glad that you are -- we're so glad that you're here today. Let me -- let me just go through, what's hang on our border. The DHS is embracing for as many as 500,000 people. Coming across our border. In the six weeks, following title 42, being lifted. Now, our White House has announced that this is happening on May 23rd. So we're giving everybody, all the enemies of the United States, plenty of notice. It's going to be chaos on our border, that weekend. And probably for the next month. So you want to come in, you want to, you know, drag some missiles behind you. We're probably not going to catch you. Because there's going to be 500,000 people. According to the border patrol, if half a million people come in one month, that is an emergency, there is no way, we have enough federal agents and NGOs and NGAs. There's not enough people going around. It's literally going to be a revolving door, getting people in, getting people out. There's not enough medical -- you know, we want to give everybody a vaccine. If you want to come in, you have to get a vaccine. Not enough medical personnel to provide the covid vaccines that the Biden administration has promised anybody who comes across. I don't think that's really -- hey, we're going to give a vaccine -- a vaccination. I don't think that's actually a draw. But maybe. Maybe to some it is.

STU: And that's the thing. This is the only vaccine mandate that has any sort of legal standing. Right? We can absolutely tell people, coming into our country, we have borders. We're a sovereign nation. We can tell people coming into our nation, whether they can get -- we require all sorts of vaccines and medications for people, many times, just to visit. Let alone coming across the border, to immigrate into the country. We can do that. It's amazing that this long, after we're trying to take and tell truckers, in their trucks by themselves, driving around the country, that they have to get vaccinated, or they can't work. But we have not been doing this to illegal immigrants crossing this border.

GLENN: I -- I flew this weekend. I can't take the mask thing anymore.

STU: I can't believe --

GLENN: I can't take the mask -- I can't. One, on the flight out, I went to Phoenix, this weekend. The flight out, I walk on, and I have the -- I mean, I have the mask. Right at the tip of my nose. And the stewardess, as soon as I walk in, she just points at my nose and gives me a dirty look, like, get that above your nose. I just wanted to say, are you serious? So I did. Fly there. On the way back, at least the pilot got it. The pilot was like, I am sorry. We have to ask you this. This is a federally mandated rule. And I know it's not happening everywhere else, but please, do this. They're very serious. They can take away your right to fly. And everything else.

I mean, enough! Enough!

STU: Especially on a -- do we have to say it, especially on an airplane, with the highest quality air filtration you get anywhere in your life, is on an airplane. And this is the place where it is. And the reason it exists still is it's the one place, Joe Biden can still control.

GLENN: Yep.

STU: That's the one -- he can't control for it. He can't control Florida or Texas or California, but he can still control these planes.

GLENN: So they're talking about now giving all these vaccines. And they're thinking about pulling medical personnel from of our VA hospitals. Are you kidding me?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: People who went to combat, might have to wait, for a while, because we have to give medical attention, to illegal immigrants, on the border. The Biden administration is also looking at doing NTAs. Notices to Appear, with minimal biometric data and vetting, just to get people through. They also are considering skipping critical paperwork. So, I mean, they're going to come if. If I were an enemy of this country, I would be -- I would have my plans already made. I would already be here. I would be in Mexico, waiting, right now.

STU: Luckily, they've announced the date. So you can plan your travel to our border, to cross in illegally.

GLENN: Well, the Biden administration is also going to deploy a smart app for the illegals to use to submit to prescreening. So we're going to provide -- our tax dollars, are going to provide an app, for illegals to use, so they don't have to stand in line so long. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

It's CBP1. It's an app. Originally devised to make it easier for known travelers to enter and go across the border. It's now being thought of, as an easy way for folks just to get in. They are now preparing for double the number of migrants, that came in 2021. It's double the amount of people that came in 2021. So the first year, how many was it? Was that 2 million? Did we hit 2 million?

STU: I don't remember the number exactly. It was huge.

GLENN: It's got to be 2 million. I bet it's 2 million. Because if 500,000 are coming in the first six weeks. It's got to be up on a number of 4 million by the end of the year opinion it has got to be 6 million new people. Oh, and, by the way, they're not completely blind to the problems it's going to create. There's going to be a lot of people whose pronouns, the Border Patrol is going to get wrong. And so they put out, last week, some new regulations. The Border Patrol. Has all of the LGBTQI+ pronouns, and the ways to deal with people. The gender neutral language, and they will be held accountable if they're not using gender neutral language, our Border Patrol. God bless those guys. I don't know how you guys are doing it, still. But thank you. Thank you for doing it.

STU: So border crossings, 2020, 400,000. 2021, 1.6 million. So just four times. That's the fiscal year 2021. But four times the amount. And they're expecting an increase in this.

GLENN: Double.

STU: This has been a crisis, since Joe Biden walked into office.

GLENN: Day one.

STU: And you remember the people coming across saying, yeah, we know, Donald Trump didn't want us here. And joe Biden said, we should come. He said in the debate, in front of everybody, we should come to the border. So we've been given permission to come. We're here because of Joe Biden. That crisis hit. There were a few questions from mainstream media. There was a good. If you remember this, a shocking spattering of journalism. A scattered shower of journalism, if you will, for about two weeks. Where they asked questions about this and seemed to cover it in mainstream media, because it was such a crisis. It's not abated since then. It's increased. The problem is worse, from when it first started, under Biden, has increased this entire time. And remained at these high levels. And now he's going to do this. Which is something that is guaranteed to make the problem much, much worse. And this is why we kind of -- as you were teasing earlier. We were discussing off the air. Just politically speaking, what is going on here? Because the -- the history of this title 42. Is basically at the very beginning of covid, Trump stepped up and said, hey, we don't know what's going on with this. We don't want any outbreaks coming across the border. We need to shut that situation down.

GLENN: Which is completely consistent with all of his other policies.

STU: Uh-huh. Yeah.

GLENN: I mean, he got blamed. Oh, he's a racist. No. It's consistent. It's consistent with logic.

STU: Yeah. Oh, it is. Total consistent. Especially when Mexico, especially at the beginning, was doing nothing. Nothing to fight covid at all. So they had massive, massive problems, going on there. And President Trump is, look, we're not going to import covid. We're going to have to deal with our own stuff here. Let's not import it from other countries. Totally sensible thing. The left of course jumped to the conclusion, well, he's always wanted to close the border, and he's just using this to -- to halt people coming across.

GLENN: The same who were screaming at us, that we have to have masks. We must stay inside.

STU: Right. Fascinating how this happens. So Biden comes in, on a campaign, especially to his hard-core left wing supporters, where he tells them constantly, I'm going to undo all these unjust border policies of Donald Trump. Number one on the list, is Title 42. So he comes into office. Everyone is expecting, within the first week, he's going to lift this thing. Because obviously, it's just targeting minorities. Well, he doesn't lift it. And then we have a period, where we start having lower death rates from covid. We have our spikes, but they're not as bad as previous ones. And everyone is like, hey. Why are you keeping this -- this title 42 thing going? Why are you blocking people from coming across the border? And Biden's answer was, we take covid seriously. It's covid. We can't do this. And nobody buys this. The people on the left correctly says, you're just extending Trump's policies. Because it, what? Helps you control the border. You don't have another massive political crisis on your hands. But we don't care about that. You told us you were going to do that. You better do it. So this crisis has been rising from the far left for a long time. And now here we are in 2022. The election is underway. Basically we've already had primaries. Like, we're in the middle of it right now. And right now, is when they're going to lift this -- this rule, which is going to allow millions of people, to cross the border. And it's almost definitely going to cause a massive crisis. Which is just, if you're going to do it, either you do it, when you first get in. And you get through that wave. And you -- by the time 2022 rolls along, you're through it. Or you wait until December of 2022. After the election is over. When you still have Congress. You don't need Congress for this particular role. You still have the support. Anything you need to get done, you still get done. And you would think, they would go along with it. You would think they would get it done after the election. Instead, they're doing it now. So he either thinks, he's not considering politics. He has something else on his mind. Which is chaos. Or squirrels, with Biden. Who knows what it is. It could be anything.

GLENN: Right.

STU: Or he is thinking, we are so lost in this election, that we just need to shore up the base and get as many of these blue districts to remain blue. Forget the purple ones. They're toast already. Just go after the hard-core supporters. Could be that. But neither one of those is really --

GLENN: And because your hard-core supporters are not enough. They're just not enough.

STU: No.

GLENN: Especially -- I mean, look, the Democrats were always the ones that were against illegal aliens. You know. Caesar Chavez was against illegals. Caesar Chavez went to the border to turn people around, and to show how --

STU: They have always been --

GLENN: Oh, horrible. Because they take good jobs away from Americans. Americans are struggling right now. Really struggling hard.

Their taxes are about to go through the roof. Through the roof. Because of the Biden budget. I mean, it is -- taxes, taxes, taxes, taxes, and more taxes. And you're going to be -- you're going to be hammered by prices or taxes, one way or another. You're going to be paying for these taxes from the budget, because they're -- they're killing jobs. Our tax hike is going to go up to 28 percent for corporate. So you know, that's higher than communist China's income tax on corporations. At 25. Europe is at the -- their average rate for corporate taxes is 19. We'll be the highest in the world. What do you think that's going to do, to hiring? And when it there are more mouths to feed. And our cities are overrun. How do you think that's going to work, to the Democrat's advantage? It's not. So help me out. Besides chaos, what is your goal with this? What is your goal

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. Now, years later, both Claire and her mother are speaking out and exposing how families are misled, how doctors hide risks, and how children are left to pay the price. With federal investigations now underway, their story is a warning every parent needs to hear.

The most INSANE Deep State story you've never heard

Was an NGO with deep government ties trying to RESTART the opium trade in Taliban-run Afghanistan while former Taliban members were on its payroll...only to be caught DESTROYING the evidence?! The State Department's Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy Darren Beattie joins Glenn Beck to expose what he found when he was made Acting President of the United States Institute of Peace. Plus, he debunks ProPublica’s claim that DOGE “targeted” an “Afghan scholar who fled the Taliban.”

GLENN: Darren, welcome to the program. How are you? Darren, are you there? Is he there?

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Okay. Check if he's there. Is he? Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney.

STU: Trying to shut him down. They don't want peace. They don't want peace.

GLENN: They don't. They don't.

He is -- he is a big-time anti-globalist. I've got to tell you, what we're doing with the State Department. I absolutely love. The State Department has been a big problem for this country for a very long time. It's what's gotten us into these global wars. These endless wars, and everything he is.

And, I mean, I don't know what happened to Marco rube, but he is tremendous.

And the way president Trump is appointing different people like Darren, it's fantastic. Darren, are you there? Darren.

STU: Something must be wrong with the lines. Because we are talking to him offline on the phone here. And it does seem to be working, but not coming through our broadcast board here for whatever reason.

GLENN: Well, let's see if we can get that fixed, and maybe let me just talk here for five, six minutes on something else. Then we'll take a break and come back and see if we can get him.

There's something else that I really want to talk about. And that is this flag-burning thing. Now, it's not an amendment.

This is something that the president is putting up in an executive order and has very little teeth to it.

But I -- I -- look, I understand. As a guy putting an enormous flagpole up at my house today.

I mean, an enormous flagpole.

I love the flag. I love it!

And there are a few things that make me more angry than see somebody you set our flag on fire.

For a lot of people, that's a punch in the gut, especially our military people. And it has been planted on distant battlefields. It's raced after victory. Saluted in the morning, or should be in our schools and folded and given to the hands of grieving families. It feels like spitting on every sacrifice, that ever made this nation possible. And the argument against flag burning is really simple: It dishonors the idea of all of that. Okay?

And it defends millions of people, including me. It disrespects, I think the veterans that bled. The families who mourned. The dream that binds us together.

However, here's the hard truth: Symbols only mean something, in a land where freedom is alive.

If you outlaw the burning of a flag, the you have placed the cloth above the Constitution that it represents. You have made the flag an idol.

We don't worship idols. If you can only praise the flag and never protest it, it just stops being a symbol of freedom. And starts being an idol of obedience.

Now, that's the argument for allowing it. At least to me.

Because the real strength of a free nation is -- is to -- it's -- it's how we protect, not the speech we love, but how we endure the speech we hate!

And the Supreme Court has already ruled on this. And, you know, they -- the line they drew wasn't an easy one. Freedom of speech, stops where it directly -- directly insights violence. And that's it same thing, kind of, in this executive order.

You can burn the flag. But if I'm not mistaken, but if it incites violence, then you're in trouble.

And that's true. But the bar of inciting violence is so incredibly high. And it's -- it doesn't have anything to do with speech that offends. It's not speech that stirs anger. Not speech that wants you to punch the speaker in the mouth. It's speech only, that provokes imminent and specific violence.

And unless it's that be with the government doesn't have any right to -- to get into the business of silencing speech. Ever. Ever. Ever.

It is a hard line. And that standard is really hard. It's painfully hard.

Because what our citizenship requires, this is civics. What our citizenships require, is that we defend -- oh, I hate this.

We defend the right of your opponent to mock everything that we hold sacred.

Now, I want you to think of this. You can burn a Bible. You can burn the Word of God. But some want to make it illegal to burn a flag. Where are our priorities? You can burn the Constitution. The words that actually are the ones that stir us into action. But you can't burn a flag.

You can't burn a Koran. Can't burn them. Can't. Can't.

You will -- you will quickly come to a quick end, not legally. But you will come to a quick end. I don't ever want to be like that. Ever!

You burn a Bible. I think you're a monster. What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you?

But you have a right to do it. Why are we drawing a line around the flag? It -- the reason is -- is because we feel things so passionately. And that is really a good thing, to feel love of country so passionately. But then we have to temper that. My father used to tell me, that I think this country needs to hear over and over again, every day. My father -- we would talk to somebody. And we would walk away. And he would go, I so disagree with everything that man just said. But, Glenn, son, he would say. I will fight to the death for his right to say it. He used to say that to me all the time. Which now lees me to believe, I know where I've got my strong opinions from. Because dad apparently would disagree with a lot of people all the time.

But that was the essence of freedom. That is the essence of what sets us apart. Standing for universal, eternal rights like free speech. It's not easy. It means you have to take the size of those people that offend you. It means -- it doesn't mean you have to disagree with it. You can fight against it. You can argue back and forth.

But you -- can you tolerate the insults to the things that you love most. That is so hard, and that is why most of the world does not have freedom of speech. It's too hard! But our Founders believed people are better than that. Our citizens can rule themselves!

And the only way you can rule yourself is if you don't have limits on freedom of speech. So the question is, do we want to remain free? Or do we want to just feel good? It really is that simple. It's why no one else has freedom of speech. It's too hard! I think we're up to the task. Okay. Give me 60 seconds. And then we will try again.

The -- there's certain moments in history, that test not just entire nations, but the hearts of those who live in the nations. And right now, the people of Israel are living in one of those moments. Sirens in the night. Families huddled together.

Elderly men and women. Who remember a time when help never came. All of them wonder. Is anybody going to stand with us, this time?

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews exists to answer that question. They provide food, shelter, security, and hope. Real hope and help in the middle of a crisis! And every act of generosity from people like you sends a clear message. You are not alone. When you support the fellowship, you are joining hands with believers all around the world to lift up God's people, when they need it most. And it is a promise in action. It's a testimony that our faith isn't just words. It's love delivered right on time. And this is your chance to be part of something that really, truly matters. Something that is eternal. To stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel. And say, we're with you. We're not going to fight your wars. Not going to fund your wars. But we're with you. You have a right to live and exist in peace. To learn how you can help. Visit IFCJ.org. IFCJ.org. Go there now. IFCJ.org. Ten seconds. Back to the program.
(music)
All right. Let me -- let me bring Darren in. Darren, are you there now?

DARREN: Yes!
GLENN: Oh, God. Thank goodness.
Thank you for putting up with us. I don't know what happened with the phone system. But, first of all, tell me what the US Institute of Peace is. I've never even heard of it.

DARREN: That is a fantastic question. And I'll try to give the abbreviated answer, because I know we don't have several hours.

GLENN: Good. I know.

DARREN: But US Institute of Peace is one of lesser known, but quite important member of the NGO archipelago, that was created in the '80s. It belongs to the same cohorts as national endowments for democracy.

GLENN: Oh.

DARREN: And some other -- some other better known NGOs that really in the broad context of things. In kind of the sweep of things, was created as a kind of reorganization of the government structure in the aftermath of the church type committee hearings that expose a lot of the dirty dealings of government agencies such as the CIA, and so sort of a broader response to that government lie was to create this NGO layer of governance, with an armed distant plausible deniability, a kind of chameleon character of not exactly being government, not exactly being private, in order to fulfill some of those more sensitive functions that had been exposed in the course of the church hearings.

And so US Institute of Peace is one of those NGOs that had particular focus on conflict regions. But, of course, as I think you -- you suggested earlier, peace requires at the very least, an asterisk. Because there involves a lot of things, that conventional, most American citizens would not think should belong as part of the portfolio of something calling itself an institute of peace.

GLENN: So what was the thing with the -- with this Taliban member that was getting money from us?

DARREN: Right. So this is an interesting case. So there's a whole saga of a takeover of the US institute of peace under -- under DOGE.

And that's really a fascinating story unto itself. Just to give you a sense of what these characters were like. They barricaded themselves in the offices.

They sabotaged the physical infrastructure of the building. There were reports of there being loaded guns within the offices.

GLENN: Wow!

DARREN: There was one, like, hostage situation where they held a security guard under basically kind of a false imprisonment type situation. It was extremely intense.

Far more so than the better known story of USAID. And in the course of all of that, they tried to delete a terabyte of data, of accounting information that would indicate what kind of stuff they were up to.

What kind of people they were paying. And in the course of that, DOGE found that one of the people on their payroll. Was this curious figure, who had a prominent role in the Taliban government. And then seemed to kind of play a bunch of angles across each other.

Sort of one of these sixer types in the middle of Afghanistan.

The question is, what the heck is an organization like this, having an individual, who is a former Taliban member on their payroll.

It underscores how incredibly bizarre the whole arrangement is. And to just reinforce that. I think even more bizarre than having this former Taliban guy on the payroll is the kind of schizophrenic posture exhibited by the chief -- one truly bizarre thing is that one of the US Institute of Peace's main kind of policy agendas was basically lamenting the fact that the opium trade had dissipated under Taliban leadership. They had multiple reports coming out, basically saying, this is horrible, that the opium trade is diminished under the Taliban. Meaning, finding some way to restore it. How bizarre is that!

GLENN: What was their thinking?

DARREN: Well, it's -- it's very strange, and it depends on what kind of rabbit holes you want to go down. But the whole story of opium and Afghanistan and its connection to, you know, government entities, is a -- is a very intricate and delicate and fascinating one. But it seems very clear that the US Institute of Peace was involved in that story to some degree because their public reports. They had a full-the time guy of basically lamenting the fact that the opium trade dissipated under the Taliban. And, meanwhile, they're funding this former Taliban guy.

GLENN: Unbelievable. Now, ProPublica got this. And you have released the statement on it. And ProPublica just completely white-washed this -- said this guy was a victim, and his family was taken hostage. Was his family ever taken hostage because he was exposed?

And correct the ProPublica story, would you?

DARREN: Yeah, I mean, the ProPublica thing, as usual and as expected was a total joke.

GLENN: Yes.

DARREN: I mean, this guy, I'm not an expert on this particular person's history. But what's very clear is he was a former Taliban guy, and he was probably one of these people, who was playing all sides, made a lot of enemies. I know that there were several kind of attempts on his life by the Taliban, in the course of various -- various decades.

This has nothing to do with -- with DOGE.

I mean, he's a known quantity in the region.

And somebody who has made a lot of enemies.

And he was not -- he was on the payroll of the US institute of peace.

And nobody is expecting something like that. So then, and, again, there's this sort of hostile takeover situation.

Where the people are barricading he themselves in. Trying to delete all this data.

And sure enough, what's in the data, is stuff like this.

These random former Taliban guy, making his contract with $130,000.

GLENN: You know, this is the -- this is the real Deep State stuff, that I think bothers people so much.

Look, we expect our CIA to do stuff, we don't necessarily want to do it. We expect it.

When it's in the State Department.

When every department is pushing out money to NGOs to overthrow governments and everything else.

It's out of control!

It's just completely out of control.

And who is overseeing all of that.

DARREN: That's a great question.

I think part of the NGO -- UCEF was almost a cutout of a cutout.

A fourth of its money came from USAID.

In many ways, it was a cutout of USAID. Which itself was a cutout.

So there are many layers of distance. Plausible deniability.

And UCEF, I think institutionally really perfected this chameleon structure of being able to plausibly present itself as government. When that was convenient for what they were doing.

And also to present itself as a private organization, when that was convenient.

It's a very intricate setup that they had, that was truly optimized for this chameleon character of plausible denial operations. In conflict zones. Doing God knows what, with American taxpayer money.

And it's just an absolute hornet's nest.

We have recovered that terabyte that they tried to delete. And once we get things settled in the building itself, I intend to do a kind of transparency effort, whereby we release all of this material to the public.

GLENN: Good. Good.

DARREN: Just like I'm doing at the State Department. I'm currently acting as secretary at the State Department. And doing a transparency effort here. After I eliminated the global engagement center, which was sort of the internal censorship office within the State Department, decided, we've got to -- we've got to air this out to the public.

So within the next couple of weeks.

We'll have our next tranche of helps you of thousands of emails, documenting what this were doing.

GLENN: I would love you to go back on, through those emails.

I think you guys in the State Department are doing an amazing job. Thanks for being on.
