Glenn: 3 HUGE lessons from the midterms & 1 path forward

The 2022 midterm elections didn’t go quite as well as Republicans hoped. But that means that — now more than ever — we just examine what happened, what went wrong, and how we still can save our republic. In this clip, Glenn shares the three biggest lessons he learned from election night. Plus, he explains the one path forward he believes still exists for conservative Republicans and for America…

GLENN: Okay. So what did we learn last night?

I think we learned three really important things. One, Ron DeSantis is the model.

Any Republican that is not willing to look at Ron DeSantis, and see what he did. And how he did it. And begin to model themselves after that. Is a fool.

An absolute fool. He is not angry. He -- he is not divisive. At least intentionally divisive. That's not his goal.

His goal is to be decisive. And decisive people are perceived sometimes, as divisive. Because a lot of people don't want to make changes. It is time to make changes.

20 points. The largest distance between he and a competitor, in the history of Florida. Twenty points. This was the story last night. And this is the path forward.

My question is: Are there any Republican G.O.P. governors that care to join him. Anyone.

Does anybody that is a governor, watching last night, and going, you know what, damn it. I really -- I need to step up my game.

Because that's what people are looking for. They're not looking for another mealy-mouthed person. They are looking for people that take decisive action.

And I will tell you, that's on both sides. Look at people who took decisive action, that we thought was divisive, because we don't agree with them.

A lot of them were reelected. Reelected.

Second thing: Our nation is spiritually lost

Completely lost. There's only one savior. And he's not on a ballot. And until we drop the manifest destiny arrogance of, God is on my side. We will continue to suffer defeat, hardships, and darkness.

And I mean as a nation. We are all going to pay for this.

We're all going to pay for it.

We must be on God's side, and that requires humility. And I didn't see anybody humble, yesterday. Did you? I don't see anybody humble today.

And until we humble ourselves we will have it done for us, and the humbling is going to be very, very painful. I believe that I found an answer last night to something I didn't want the answer to. I've said for 20-some-years alcoholics are going to be the ones to save this country. But we are -- we are just like an alcoholic. We just keep going back to the bottle and saying, I want more. No matter how damaging it is, I want more.

And I've said to you, alcoholics cannot be saved. You can't save alcoholics. They have to feel the ramifications of their own mistakes, and then want to live.

And some people, their bottom is death. And I truly believe now the answer is our bottom unfortunately with far too many people is death. The death of our nation, the death of our lifestyle, the death of our culture, the death of the Western way of life.

When you have no gas, no fuel, no heat, no meat, no control, no wealth, don't own anything, that's the death of everything that you know. And maybe then you'll wake up. I don't know. Third thing is Mitch McConnell was and is wrong. Lukewarm Democrats. Lukewarm Republicans are not going to defeat the Democrats. Just not being a Democrat is not enough. And Mitch McConnell should feel the ramifications of this loss. Mitt Romney said, just last week, he tweeted that a red wave was coming, it was all thanks to Mitch McConnell. Well, it turns out he was right. What was coming was all thanks to Mitch McConnell. This is not leadership, Mitch McConnell, Carl Rove, their ilk. They don't offer us anything. There is no vision there. This is thanks to Mitch McConnell.

I have a hard time not calling what he actually proposes, collusion. Where is the path forward? And what is it?

A slower trip to hell is this

Mitch McConnell said over the summer. We don't have to do anything. We just have to not be Democrats.

That's not enough.

Now, let me get off Mitch McConnell here, and ask all of the Republicans, where do you begin to declare who you are?

We need to declare who we are.

The Declaration of Independence didn't just say, we just don't have -- we just don't want to be like the king.

It's not what it said. It was clear. We're different. We want to go a way, that no one else wants to go. Because we believe certain things. Because we have spiritual wisdom.

We have spiritual wisdom. We know what's true. And what is not.

And with that spiritual wisdom, applied. We see things that are self-evident, that you don't!

We don't need to indoctrinate our people, we don't need to stop speech. We don't need to put people in jail, because they disagree.

These things are obvious, when you humble yourself, enough to fight for his will, and not our will.

What do we have now that are self-evident truths?

Seriously, what do we have? There's a portion of the Democrats, that will mouth the words -- all men are created equal. But they don't really live it. They don't believe it. They're just as likely to you know put somebody in -- you know for revenge purposes or whatever. They're just as likely to violate the Constitution as anybody on the left. And the left, they're experts at that.

I know what those truths are. I don't think I know. I know.

Because I know who I am, and I know who God is. And God is a God of the individual. The plan of darkness. The plan of Satan, if you will. Is the plan of collectivism. No individual salvation. No individual choices. We will not allow you to fail.

We will not allow you to feel the consequence of anything.

Because we'll tell you what to do.

Life, as long as the -- as long as the collective agrees, then you have the right to life.

I mean, that's if they agree, your life is worth living. Anybody certainly George Bernard Shaw?

We should just line people up, and ask them: Justify your life.

Collectivism believes liberty. As long as you believe, think, speak, and do what the collective tells you is part of liberty. Pursuit of happiness. No. There's no path for the individual to do what he or she believes, that she was sent here to do, let alone, just have your own business.

Because you're not going to keep any of the spoils. The God of this world, will tell you what to do. And you will praise the God of this world.

You know I know I shared Ephesians with you, a couple of days ago, but there's more to this. Let me just run through this, quickly. Because I want to add on to what I said, the other day.

Remember, in Ephesians, it says, look, you cannot -- I'm paraphrasing horribly. You can't live as the people of the world do. As the Gentiles do. You can't. In the futility of their thinking.

Think of that. The futility of their thinkingly. They are darkened in their understanding. And separated from the life of God. Is that true?

Do you believe that people are darkened in their understanding?

How can people not notice what's happening to their lives, because of the way they vote?

They're darkened from their understanding.

They're separated from the life of God. And listen, because of the ignorance that is in them, due to the hardening of their hearts.

Meaning, I'm not listening to you.

I won't listen to reason anymore.

I won't talk to you anymore.

I've hardened my heart to anything that is outside of my worldview. And it goes on opinion

Having lost all sensitivity. Wow.

Think of this. Just with what porn does on the internet. You lose all sensitivity. It's got to get worse and worse and worse. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality, as to indulge in every kind of impurity. And they are full of greed.

This describes today. And then he says, but that's not the way of life you learned.

When you heard about Christ, you were taught -- you were taught in him, accordance with the truth.

So you were taught the truth.

This is not about them. This is about us.

It's not good enough, just not to be them. Nowhere does God say, you know what, just don't be like that guy. Just don't be like those guys.

That's not what he says. He just says, you were taught better than that. You know, better than that.

He goes on, you were taught with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires.

You were taught to be made new in the attitude of your mind. And put on a new self.

So he's really not judging those people. He's judging us. Have you forgotten?

You have to put off all falsehood, and all lies. Speak truthfully, to your neighbor.

For we are members of one body. He doesn't say, speak truthfully to the people you like. He says, to your neighbor, who you are supposed to love. And in your anger, don't sin. Don't let the sun go down when you're still angry. Don't give the devil a foothold.

Anyone who is stealing. Listen to this. Anyone who is stealing, must steal no longer. But must work. Now, that sounds like a Republican policy. You can't steal, you have to work.

But there's not a period after there. There is a comma!

Which the Republicans don't get.

You must work. Doing something useful with your hands, that you might have something to share with those in need.

It's not work, just so you can enrich yourself. It is work, so you can choose to share with others.

We have lost that. We have lost much of this ability.

So now, where do we go from here?

60 seconds.
(music)
Let me tell you a little bit about Goldline.

Yeah. I'm the crazy guy, you always hear on the radio. Hollering about how you need to buy some gold, before the world ends or something.

Kind of fine with that. Here's the deal: You need to look at investing at least a portion of your portfolio, anything that you have, into precious metals. I mean, real, physical, precious metals. Don't get paper gold. For the love of Pete, don't do that. It's not going to mean much. I got all this golden paper. And I have a vegetable.

Now? If you don't have actual physical gold, it's time for you to consider getting some gold or silver, or any precious metal. You don't have to put your entire portfolio. And that's madness. Even if you have some gold, it's worth considering whether or not you have enough. There's no more time-tested hedge against economic insanity, than gold. And that's where Goldline comes in. And to celebrate the launch of the new Mayflower, silver and gold round, they want to include, at no cost, five silver coins. Five copper coins. With every tube of the quarter ounce gold Mayflower commemorative. This is something that I designed. It is part of a series. Goldline is asking you to take advantage of this special today. I am as well. You don't get this kind of special very often. It's 866GOLDLINE. 866GOLDLINE or Goldline.com. Ten-second station ID.
(music)
Here's what you need to learn. This is the last thing, that we need to learn.

That you have everything you need. You have everything you need. You've been enriched in every way, with all kinds of speech and knowledge. You get that from God. You don't lack anything. You need a spiritual gift, you have it.

And God will keep you firm, until the end.

Because he is faithful, to things that are true.

We can't divide ourselves. We have to be united, in truth. And here's what's -- and here's what's great.

The message of salvation, that's -- I mean, that's crazy talk. To people who are you know on the other side, denying all reality.

But that's the point.

God said, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, the intelligence of the intelligent. I will frustrate.

So where is that wise person, that we trust? That really is, truly wise now? In the ways of the world?

Is the world wise? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher?

There's no one that fits into those categories, and you're like, oh, yeah. I trust him.

He's really, really wise. Because the world is not wise.

God is wiser than huge wisdom. Weakness of God, is stronger than any strength. When we first started our spiritual life, how many of us were wise by human standards?

How many of us were really influential? How many of us were born to the right family, and had the right wealth?

Very few, I would imagine. Those of us who really converted, probably really struggled for a long time. Because that's how you find the truth.

Through struggle. And that's when you chose God, or God chose you. When you were weak. When you were lowly. When you were despised.

And that's why you have so much power. You have so much power, because you are weak. You are lowly. You're -- you're not part of the wise counsel, that everybody wants to be a part of now. You're not seeking fame.

If we seek the truth, the truth, no matter where it takes us, all will be better than well.

We will heal our nation. That should be our goal. That should be our path. Look to the people, who have done it politically. And that's clear in Florida. And then look inside of yourself and rely on God.

Rooftop Korean EXPOSES why 2025 LA Riots aren’t what they seem

"Rooftop Korean" Tony Moon, who helped protect his Los Angeles community during the 1992 riots, speaks out amid the 2025 LA riots. He tells Glenn Beck why today's riots are very different than those in 1992: "they're NOT organic."

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: From 1992, I believe this is the NBC report on the '92 riots in LA.

Listen.

VOICE: March 16th, 1991, Latasha Harlans, a black teenager is shot and killed by a Korean store owner.

Sun Ja Do (phonetic). Do is convicted of voluntary manslaughter, but is sentenced only to parole and a small fine.

The black community is outraged and remembers.

VOICE: Six months probation?

I mean, the people were pissed then.

VOICE: Today, local Korean radio is broadcasting which stores in the area are threatened.

Young men like Eddie Kim rush over to try to defend them.

VOICE: I don't care about anything.

But it's not a riot. Okay?

You know, it's not a riot.

VOICE: He spent last night, and will spend tonight, guarding his appliance store.

A small battalion of employees and relatives will try to help.

VOICE: I only have one shotgun.

That's all I have.

What do they have?

They have hundreds of people. Hundreds of young people.

With lots of guns!

VOICE: After the destruction, many Koreans have lost all faith that the authorities can protect them.

GLENN: We have one of those Koreans that were protecting people.

Tony Moon, a rooftop Korean from 1992. Welcome, Tony, how are you?

TONY: I'm doing well, Glenn. Thank you for having me on the show. It's a pleasure.

GLENN: I've got to tell you what an honor it is to you have you on.

Can you take us through the experience that you had in the '92 LA riots?

TONY: Of course.

I was 19 at the time. And I was fairly similar -- a little familiar with Latasha's verdict.

But being 19, I wasn't really plugged into politics. Or current events.

Then when things blew up, after the Rodney King verdict, I came down on a Wednesday.

It's when we saw the outrage from the black community. And that's what it was in '92. It was basically the community, that had legitimate reasons to be upset.

And there was a rift between the black community and the Korean community, because the Korean community actually went into the black areas that were predominantly black, and open businesses there. And were doing businesses in the community.

Because of the cultural differences between the two. There was a lot of, I guess you can say, a lot of built-up animosity towards each other. And that's where I guess that's -- the riots, a lot of the pent up frustration was targeting Korean business owners because of that.

And it went on from Wednesday, until through the weekend. Until the National Guard showed up.

But we were fending for ourselves by Thursday.

And the call went out on Thursday. And it went out, when many of us answered the call. A lot of the misconception, is that it was just Korean shop owners. Which wasn't true.

There were a lot of young men like myself. Nineteen, 20. 22-year-olds that went out there.

That's kind of what I'm writing in my book right now.

From that perspective.

Growing up in Los Angeles, at that time.

And what the culture was like. And who some of these young men were.

One of them being Eddie Lee. Who gave his life that week.

You know, for the community.

And unfortunately, it was -- you know, through friendly fire. And I detailed that in my book. Regarding why that happened.

And who some of these young men were, like myself. And my driver, who was out there.

And we weren't always, always. You know, we weren't all on the roof.

Which is -- it's a misconception.

Some of us were out there. Literally --

GLENN: What do you mean, by we were hunting?

JASON: You know, they think -- a lot of people think we're just shooting at looters, which is not the case.

In '90s, LA it was a very gang-rich culture in the '90s. I mean, there were a lot of gangs. One of the large gangs that came out of LA.

And which is -- which is, a Salvadorian gang, that started in the mid-'80s.

And a lot of them, were shooting at these business owners. And some of us who had a background in the streets. Knew -- knew their territory. And knew who they were.

So we actually went into some of these areas. To basically let them.

Put them on notice.

That it's not just the older generation that is shooting at them.

But we actually will be actively hunting them down too. And LA is very layered and complicated. There's a lot of pockets and neighborhoods, where they have different ethnic groups.

And the rule is that, you don't go into other people's area, and mess around.

GLENN: Yeah.

TONY: And you stay in your own neighborhood. You be respectful of other people's different neighborhoods. You don't go there. And just start popping off shots. And that's kind of what they were doing. And it worked out, in the end. It worked out.

GLENN: No. I know. I lived in New Haven, Connecticut. That has a very rich Italian history. And that was what the way it was. You know, the it's not protected their neighborhood. And don't come into the Italian neighborhood and try to stir anything up, or you'll be in trouble with the Italians. And they won't mess with you and your neighborhood. Just everybody take care of yourself.

TONY: Exactly.

GLENN: So did you ever feel like a vigilante in any way? Did you feel that maybe this was questionable to take this on yourself?

TONY: No. Not at all.

When you -- you don't have law enforcement out in the streets anymore.

You know, the streets become a lot -- it's everybody for themselves. You become -- you kind of gain kind of a tribal sense of protecting your own.

Right?

So it's no longer a sense of vigilantism. Just protecting your own. And making sure there's any encroachment into your territory.

So I didn't see it as being a vigilante.

But just maintaining law and order.

Somewhat law and order, some semblance of peace.

And that was done through the barrel of -- you know, a firearm.

GLENN: Compare what you went through, you know, the Rodney King riots.

The George Floyd riots.

And this riot. Is there any difference?

TONY: Absolutely. Absolutely. The 1992 riots were organic. You had different parts of L.A. County that were upset. And you had fires and looting. Because the black community was spread out through south LA, Compton, south-central -- La Habra Heights.

Different areas. And you could actually see that. You know, when you are -- looked at the city, as a whole. From let's say Hollywood. You saw the fires from different parts of the city.

This -- these riots that are occurring now, with like the 2020, what I call the BLM riots. Now the 2025 LA riots are happening now.

They are very centralized. And they're not organic. They're being funded by NGOs. And it's a leftist Marxist agenda, that's being pushed to make it seem as if there's widespread support for this.

For example, the criminal rights that are occurring right now. It's just happening in downtown LA.

And the curfew that was by the mayor is only -- I don't know it off the top of my head. Two square mile radius. Right? One square mile.

Yeah. That's what it is.

Anyone outside that one square mile. Life always proceeds as it has been.

It doesn't look like there's anything going on. Where the difference in 1992, whether you were in Hollywood, Culver City, which is further out west.

And then Hollywood is up north, past downtown LA. August, you stop at downtown LA. You had fires. Looting. I mean, it was widespread.

This isn't anything like what's going on down to 1992.

And it just kind of shows the incompetence of the current leadership of not being able to get their arms around something like this.

Because of their lack of leadership.
And I would say common sense. They're letting these protesters spiral out of control.

Because many of them, the playbook is for them to start in downtown LA at City Hall.

Then make their way down, which really pisses off a lot of people. Because, you know, it's -- it's a highly traveled freeway in LA.

GLENN: I know. It's a parking lot.

You stop me from getting home, I don't care -- I don't care if you're for free candy bars. Reindeer and Santa. I hate your guts if you delay me on that how. I hate you when I'm driving home.

TONY: Absolutely. Absolutely. So there's no widespread recourse for this.

GLENN: Okay. So tell me about how the feeling -- what the feeling is on Trump and the National Guard coming in.

TONY: I think it's awesome.

I think this should have been done back in 2020. But obviously, you know, during that time. It was the administration.

First time going through this.

I posted it recently on Twitter. That, you know, when you take a shot at a man, and you try to assassinate him. He comes back different.

You know, and that's what he's shown.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. It is. It is.

Newsom and Bass both say, the riots are contained. Didn't need the National Guard.

This is Trump just trying to turn into a dictator. This is their communities having enough of the people being disappeared on the streets.

What do you say?

What is the average person that you talk to say about those kinds of things?

JASON: I would trust the meteorologist more than I would trust Newsom or Bass.

They -- they're in the same basket as Pelosi. They lie about what's going on. Because of social media. And because of, you know, the lack of reporting, from the local news.

Which covers for the current leadership in L.A. County.

Including the mayor and the board of supervisors. The people that are not getting 100 percent of the news.

And this is no different than what happened in early -- earlier this year with the fires. With what was going on in palisades. Altadena.

You know, the news, in order to get coverage for the local leadership. And to get on their good side, they're not going to report anything bad that's happening.

Currently, I believe there's a class-action lawsuit, gets an board of supervisors. The mayor. I think there are tons of lawsuits being filed right now.

And the problem is that it's not these individuals that will be detained for this.

It's the city and the county.

It will be a drain on the budget. And it will affect the social services, like paramedics, firefighters, you know, law enforcement.

GLENN: I can't imagine being those guys.

TONY: Yeah.

GLENN: Let me ask you for any advice you would give to mom and pop business owners that are vulnerable today?

TONY: A lot of them are downtown LA. I would say, board up. What I've noticed, 1992, the shops that were spared were the ones that had steel roll-up doors. Those do well.

Otherwise, lock your doors.

GLENN: Yeah.

TONY: And deterrence is really a great way to keep looters out. So you don't have to necessarily take shots at them. But displaying, I outlined it in my Twitter feed. I pinned it to my profile.

Deterrence is actually really great.

Because these individuals are looking for low-hanging fruit. So they're looking for an opportunity. So they want to go for the easiest shop or whatever they're going to loot.

So if they move -- you know, you have a shotgun or, you know, an AR. Right?

And they see you're armed. They will think twice before answering. And they will move on to the next target.

GLENN: By the way, you can follow Tony Moon @RoofKorean7. That's his Twitter handle.

RoofKorean7. When does your book come out? You have to send me a copy so I can read it in advance, because I want to have you back when it's out.

TONY: Absolutely. Absolutely. You've been most gracious to me.

I don't know if you know, but I did an interview with Morgan from three years ago in your studio, which turned into a museum, I think. You have some really great artifacts in there.

GLENN: I do, thank you. Yeah, thank you. I didn't know that.

TONY: Yeah.

I'm trying to release it. Well, I'm finishing it up by the end of -- near the end of this month.

My kids are going to read it. Because the book is tailored towards the next generation like Gen Alpha. Gen Z.

GLENN: Yeah, yeah.

TONY: Because these kids weren't alive during that time.

And they only see what online social media is portraying. And also, you know, what they may hear from the news. So I want to give them an account from being -- from a teenage perspective at 19, in terms of what it looked like, and how it played out. So my kids are read the first half.

Some of them are in my book. They will read it too, and once they give their blessing and they're okay with it, I will try to push it out before the end of the summer.

GLENN: That's great. Well, do me a favor. As soon as you're comfortable, send a copy to me so I can read it.

Because I would love to be ahead on it.

But, Tony, best of luck. Thanks for coming on with me, I really appreciate it.

JASON: Thank you, Glenn. Thank you for this time. I really appreciate it.

GLENN: You bet. Tony Moon. 1992. Rooftop Korean on the LA riots, then and now.

A Riots: The Marxist Revolution Disguised as Anti-ICE “Protests” | Glenn TV | Ep 438

Remember this old prediction from Glenn’s chalkboard on Fox News: “Marxists, anarchists, radical leftists, and Islamists will work together to destroy capitalism and the West”? Well, that movement has cascaded all over the world and has now arrived on American streets. As Los Angeles continues to spiral into violent riots, more anti-ICE demonstrations are popping up all over the country in cities like Chicago, San Antonio, Atlanta, and New York. Democrat politicians and rioters blame the violence on President Trump’s deportation agenda, but the chaos isn’t organic — it’s well-organized and well-funded. Interim U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli joins to separate fact from fiction on what actually ignited the protests. He also reveals an ongoing investigation into the organizers and their sources of funding and gives an update on the FBI manhunt for the suspect who hurled rocks at law enforcement vehicles.

Something EXCITING is coming...

Something exciting is coming... Be the first to receive updates by signing up for my newsletter HERE.

If you’ve watched the footage coming out of Los Angeles this week, then you know something’s wrong.

You feel it. You see the chaos. The organized protests that magically appear—funded and networked—hit the same cultural pressure points every time: violence in the streets, masked as justice. I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again now with even more urgency: this isn’t organic. This is orchestrated.

When I first began formulating what would become TheBlaze in 2010, Barack Obama was surrounding himself with Marxist radicals.

These were people who spoke like revolutionaries and moved like Islamists: Bill Ayers, Valerie Jarrett, Cass Sunstein, CAIR, George Soros, Code Pink, the Tides Foundation, and someone who just came up again in yesterday’s news, Ron Gochez. I stood in front of those chalkboards and said, “Watch this. Watch how the socialists, the communists, the Islamists, and the anarchists would work together—not because they love each other, but because they share a common enemy: the West.”

Israel would be the first target, then Europe, then the cascading violence would reach our own shores. When I laid that out, not one single voice in mainstream media—left or right—engaged with it seriously. Not one host. Not one outlet. Nobody asked, “Wait, why would Glenn say that? Is there any truth in it? What’s the evidence?” Nothing. It was like screaming into a hurricane while standing completely alone.

This was before podcasts meant anything—before Rumble, before Substack.

This was when Netflix was still mailing movies to people. Not a single serious media personality was making an impact online because they weren’t online. I had just left Fox, and someone over there—someone I respected—looked me in the eye and said, “You’re not seriously going to do that online thing, are you? It’s a fad.”

Funny how a few short years later, they didn’t say that when Tucker left. Or when Megyn did. No one called it a fad then. But when I did it, everybody said my career was over. Truth be told, some nights, in the dark, I believed it too.

I pushed forward anyway because my goal was simple: create a safe haven. Not just a single place where voices could be heard or A platform for those who had spent their entire lives working to tell the truth, but were forced to play ball with corporate media and big government. What I wanted to start was a movement. Someone has to show others it can be done, and others will do it.

Look at the army of truth-tellers that has risen: TheBlaze, with people like Allie Beth Stuckey, Steve Deace, and Nicole Shannahan. Did you know that our current Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, started at TheBlaze? You have The Daily Wire, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson, Sean Ryan, Bari Weiss, and Dana Loesch—hundreds of independent creators, journalists, whistleblowers, and citizen investigators, all standing where there was once nothing but silence. Remember, the last election was not won by corporate debates, but by that “fad” called the internet and podcasts.

Thank You

To every person who supported us, who built this with us—I say this from the bottom of my heart: thank you. Mission accomplished. We used to say, “This is the network you’re building.” Now I can proudly say: look at what YOU built.

To be clear, this is not an ending. I’m not done—not even close—and neither is TheBlaze. I know some of their plans; TheBlaze will continue to grow and expand, just as I will. This is an expansion, not an ending.

Today, I’m announcing a new chapter—not a departure from our mission at TheBlaze, but an expansion of it.

While we’ve helped crack the back of corporate media, there’s another system just as broken, just as corrupted, just as dangerous: education.

We are going to do for American education what we did for legacy media.

This is not a new news network. This isn’t a Blaze 2.0. The Glenn Beck Radio Program will continue, stronger than ever. TheBlaze remains fearless and unshakable. What I’m building now is something new: a mission designed to spark a renaissance in how we teach and understand American history, civics, faith, and service.

Let me tell you—we are ready.

Since 2008, I’ve been quietly collecting rare documents and artifacts that tell the true story of America—the good, the bad, and the ugly. We need a place to find honest history, unfiltered and raw. In partnership with David Barton and WallBuilders, we now hold the largest private collection of early American founding documents in the world—from the Pilgrims through 1830. Only the Library of Congress and the National Archives hold more.

For the last three years, we’ve been digitizing it all, preserving it, and building systems and tools so you can access it directly—no gatekeepers, no ivory tower historians rewriting our past. Just you, the truth, and history that speaks for itself.

We have a team working day and night—literally. One team here, another on the other side of the planet, working while the first one sleeps—all toward one goal: putting this collection into your hands.

What I’m about to show you in the next few months will blow your mind. And yet, that’s just scratching the surface.

This is my next battle—and I’d like to enlist you to help me.

Something big is coming.

Something historic. Just like with TheBlaze, it won’t belong to me. It’ll belong to you: a movement to rekindle curiosity, restore critical thinking, and reignite belief in something higher than the chaos on our streets.

If you want to be part of this from day one, sign up for my newsletter.

Because if Los Angeles teaches us anything this week, it’s that the world we feared is here. But if history teaches us anything, it’s that ordinary people, led by truth, can still change everything.

Will you join me again on this venture?

Newsom lets his REAL goal SLIP while daring Trump to arrest him

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently dared President Trump to arrest him for protecting illegal immigrants. But Glenn Beck points out the bigger news that Newsom accidentally dropped: when he claimed Trump "wants a civil war,” he was self-diagnosing. That's what the LA riots are really about, Glenn argues.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I want to take you back to Los Angeles here for just a second.

To Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom is -- I mean, what is he?

What is he playing at?

I don't even know what he's trying to do. He's all over the board.

Play cut 11. Here he is playing tough guy. Listen to this.

VOICE: Get your hands off these poor people who are just trying to live their lives, man. Live their lives.

Pay their taxes. Ten years. The fear, the horror, come after me. Arrest me. Let's just get this over with. Tough guy. You know, I don't give a damn. But I care about my community. I care about this community. The hell are they doing? These guys need to grow up, they need to stop, and we need to push back. And I'm sorry to be so clear.

STU: I'm sorry to be so clear.

GLENN: I --

VOICE: So, Tom, arrest me.

GLENN: Tom, do it. Here he is, he is saying these are people who come in here and pay their taxes.

What was arrested on Friday?

A rapist. A murderer. People who are not here just paying their taxes, trying to live a quiet life and be who they are.

They are being who they are.

Unfortunately, every time they are who they are, they end up with another ten-year sentence.

And somehow or another, in California, you're not paying for those crimes. You're just out in the streets.

That's who was arrested on Friday.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And he's playing tough guy.

STU: It's important to note this. A lot of times, when these debates happen that we've had a million times.

We tend to go through the same different channels we've been in before.

This is -- we could have a debate about whether ICE should go to a random Home Depot and arrest 45 immigrants, legal immigrants, looking for work.

GLENN: Sure.

STU: I would support that.

Because I think the law is important.

GLENN: Me too.

STU: However, you can have that debate. And that is the debate that we have been having.

This particular grimace action, had nothing to do with that.

The one we're talking about, went after actual criminals.

They went after --

GLENN: Criminals.

STU: Rapists. And all sorts of terrible criminals.

That was the target of this action.

It has nothing to do with the people we're talking about. And I can't get over how bad Gavin Newsom is on this clip.

It is the performance is terrible.

He gave versions of this to like six different media sources.

And you can tell he's like struggling to find his way into, I want to say, arrest me tough guy.

He wants to say that so badly.

But like, what that was, was a much worse version of what Joe Biden tried to do over and over again.

With like, well, I meet him under the bleachers, at the football field. And I punch him in the face. It's that same terrible thing, where Democrats have like manifested what they believed tough men talk like.

GLENN: Right! Because they don't know --

STU: And they try to re-create it in person.

It's pathetic.

GLENN: Because they're not real men.

STU: No.

GLENN: They don't understand real strength.

They think men just talk tough like, go ahead!

I'll beat you up in the back of the school, at 3 o'clock this afternoon! That's not men.

Those are little boys.

And that's -- that's who the men on the left are: Little boys.

They have no idea.

And then he -- he starts with a little bit of truth. In this next clip.

He starts with saying, look, I'm sane, you're sane.

But listen to what it goes into.

Because they always do this.

They tell you who they are, and what they're planning on doing.

Cut three.

VOICE: Stop these guys.

These idiots, that are jumping up on cars. That are burning these way months. These people, that's a disgrace.

And the impact they're having on our democracy -- there's a lot at risk here.

I mean, this is not just a simple act of disobedience. They should be arrested, they should be held accountable.

Anyone would tax any innocent person, including a law enforcement person that is lawfully doing their job! They're members of our communities, just like everybody else.

They go to the same churches. They're good human beings. Just because we don't like Donald Trump. Just because we don't like their orders. Doesn't mean you have the right to hurt or harm people.

And that goes for them as well.

We're holding everybody to a higher level of accountability. But that's not what Trump is after.

He's not for peacemaking. He's here for war.

He wants a civil war in America. Not just here. He's testing the boundaries by nationalizing the federal guard.

GLENN: Okay. That's all you need to know.

What are they doing? They want war. They want Civil War on the streets.

And they're testing their boundaries.

That's exactly what's happening right now with the left.

They want Civil War. And they're testing their boundary.

Period.

STU: Remember, we do know of organizations that basically have advocated for this.

And many of them are on the streets right now.

GLENN: The ones that are printing the signs for the people who carry in the streets.

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

We know who the organizers are. This is why I said earlier today.

And Donald Trump and the FBI, they need to start arresting the organizers. Don't go after the people on the street!

Go after the money. Go after the organizers.

The ones who are -- look at this guy. This guy is one of the organizers.

I just would like to call him revolutionary Ron. That's what I called him when I first introduced you to him, back in 2010.

Here he is. At a UCLA, in defense of La Raza. Now, listen to this guy. This is 14 years ago. Listen to this.

VOICE: A revolutionary, Mexican organization here, we understand what they're saying. You're right. This is not just about Mexico. This is about a global struggle against imperialism and capitalism. Our enemy is the same enemy as Hugo Chavez. That Hugo Chavez said, our enemy is the same enemy that keeps Africa poor. Our enemy is the same enemy that keeps Asia poor.

Our enemy is capitalism and imperialism.

GLENN: Okay, that's this guy. Revolutionary Ron, back in 2011. He was talking about his revolutionary Mexican organization called del Barrio

Union del Barrio is involved in the organization of some of these -- these protests, if you will.

Okay?

So they're on the ground.

Now, here he is, recently talking about his community's resistance to ICE. Listen to this. Cut seven.

VOICE: But what they didn't think was going to happen, was that the people would resist and fight back.

And that's exactly what happened in Paramount and in Compton, California.

Where for eight and a half hours, the people combating a man in the streets, against the Border Patrol. And after eight and a half hours of battle, and it was a battle.

Because there were people throwing back tear gas. People throwing back anything they could to defend themselves and the workers that were surrounded by over 100 Border Patrol agents.

After eight and a half hours, the Border Patrol, the sheriffs had to retreat. They had to retreat because of the fierce resistance of the community. And the hundreds of workers that were in the factories around them. Were able to escape.

They were able to go to their cars and go home.

GLENN: Okay. So stop.

Did you hear what he was saying?

Remember, who was his enemy?

Capitalism. Imperialism.

All of the things that -- all of the institutions that make America, America. If you will.

Okay?

They are for the overthrowing of our government!

What is he saying this time?

He's saying, that we're only doing it because of these good people.

Exactly the same message, that Gavin Newsom is giving you.

But notice, neither of them are saying, we want revolution in the streets.

Both of them want revolution in the streets. Gavin Newsom, they always tip their hand, by telling you, what Trump is doing. Or what the left -- what the right is doing.

It's always projection. It's what they're doing.

Okay?

So Gavin Newsom says this. The guy from del Barrio. He is saying the same thing in all of his other speeches.

And we have it. We are going to be going over all of this on Wednesday night's TV show.

And he's only one of these clowns.

And I'm not saying that he's the leader of it, or anything else.

He's the leader of his little group, and they are involved with a whole bunch of other groups.

Those groups need to be investigated.

I mean, it's not hard. You have them on tape.

By the way, he's a high school history teacher in California.

And he talks about how he is making all of his students into revolutionaries.

That's their real -- that's their real goal. Okay.

So here's the high school teacher saying, revolutionary, enemy is capitalism. Imperialism.

We've got to resist Donald Trump and what they were doing. By arresting these people.

Again, look at the list of the people that they were arresting.

And tell me that you were for that.

And then the other turn of the table is to make this all again, look like Donald Trump's fall.

Listen to this representative of California, Democrat, of course.

Gill Cisneros, listen to this. Cut ten.

VOICE: The president of Israel, he tried to instigate a confrontation between, whether it be law enforcement, the National Guard, and the citizens of Los Angeles, Southern California.

To serve his purpose. And that could be -- as Lucia said. To distract from this horrible economy, that he has created.

The tariffs. Plan that isn't working.

I mean, he's even killing the Kennedy center right now.

But he is trying to distract this.

And really, he's trying to force California to borrow a term from Game of Thrones, bend the knee to his will.

And we're not going to do that. And I'm so proud of our governor right now. And the interview that he gave. But everything that's going on right now, is of Donald Trump's creation. And making.

And, you know, they are literally pulling people off the street.

GLENN: No. No. They're literally not doing that.

But okay.

So what is he saying here?

He's saying, Donald Trump is just doing this, so you will bend a knee.

And he's trying force a war between the federal government and the good people of California.

I'm sorry. Good people of California, but if that's you I see on TV, in the black garb, setting cars on fire. Dancing in the streets.

You know, how did -- what was it? CNN. No. ABC.

Please, play the ABC cut, on how they were describing these very, very good Californians, in the streets.

Listen to this.

VOICE: Large group of people. It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there, in the wrong way.

And turn what is just a bunch of people, having fun, watching cars burning to a massive confrontation and altercation between them.

GLENN: Okay. Stop.

What are they saying there?

That if Donald Trump reacts and sends in the National Guard, or the police, you run the risk of having a confrontation, that will go poorly, and escalate.

That's exactly what the left wants to do. But listen to what he is saying.

He is describing these good people of California, as people who are just having fun, watching cars burn in the streets.

Okay. Well, let's just play that thinking out for a second.

A, I would be having fun, watching cars burn in the streets.

I would be asking myself, good heavens, what the hell is happening to our civil society. What is happening to our civilization?

So it wouldn't be fun.

But if you were having fun, just watching the cars burn in the streets, if police come in and say, hey.

Move along. Move along.

Why wouldn't you move along?

You weren't doing anything. You were just having fun, watching these cars burn in the streets.

Why would you suddenly have any kind of hostile intent. Or take the police of having hostile intent. If they were just saying, move along.

I would be expected to be told that, because a fire truck will be coming soon, to put that out. So all of California does not burn down again!

Their logic. There is no logic to anything that they're doing or saying.

Which brings me to this: Speaking of the teacher that was saying he was teaching kids how to be revolutionaries.

Let me read this.

This, I found incredible!

Apple has debunked AI reasoning hype. Apple is claiming that the New Age artificial intelligence reasoning models may not be as smart as they're making them out to be.

The study titled the illusion of thinking, understanding the strength and limitations of reasoning model via the lens of problem complexity. Blah, blah.

Here's what they say. Models, these AI large language models, they only memorize. They don't think!

Let me take you back to school.
Kids, remember this, write this down.

It's going to be on the test.

How is it that we're saying, that these large language models, are not really human.

They're not really capable of outthinking anyone.

Because they only memorize, and they don't think!

When our schools are teaching our kids, only to memorize, and not to think!
