Terrifying truth exposed: Why America’s economy faces a catastrophic collapse

“We are looking at losing the dollar,” Glenn Beck says. “And it’s gonna happen fast.” But there is a way to avoid this fate and fix the economy. Glenn reveals the 3 moves Congress and President Trump MUST make. But while cutting the government’s debt and spending is crucial, it’s not that simple for one TERRIFYING reason …

GLENN: All right. I want to talk to you about the big, beautiful bill.

I want to talk to you, instead of all the politics going around. I want you to understand what we are facing right now. What we are facing right now is collapse of -- you know, of our economy. Collapse, you know, they will say, what's coming is a collapse, that will be worse than 2008.

I believe, and I could be wrong. Remember, I'm an optimistic catastrophist. I believe that it doesn't have to be this way.

But we are -- we are looking at losing the -- the dollar.

And it's going to happen fast. How do people go bankrupt?

Over a long period of time, and then all of a sudden. And the all of a sudden part is coming our way. Now, the majority of Americans feel that the country is headed in the right direction. And I believe it is. But what we're looking at, is -- is a really difficult situation. So let me ask you: How did we become the world's leading economy?

What did we have that others didn't have?

Because it was very easy. And I want you to -- I want you to make a checklist in your own mind. This is what we used to have.

We had cheap energy. Cheap labor.

And an educated labor. We had small business entrepreneurs. We had individual inventors that were in their garage or in their barn. We had ingenuity. We had low regulation. A cohesive society, that was built around stable laws and a stable government.

That's what it took for us to become the leader of the world.

Now, let's go through those, and see how many of these we have, or are on the road to repairing. Cheap energy.

Yes. I think we -- we didn't have that. But, yes.

We are doing it now. Cheap labor. I don't know how to do that one.

Educated labor. Well, as soon as we get rid of all of the DEI crap that's going on.

Yeah. I think we could maybe reeducate ourselves.

Small businesses, no.

Small businesses are being choked by taxes and regulations.

Individual inventors. Not really.

Everything is being gobbled up by big government. Ingenuity.

Well, ingenuity happens when you don't have DEI. You don't have all of these things, regulations.

And when you have tax cuts and people realize, I can do this. And I can actually make more money. And I can get ahead. That's what ingenuity in America goes on. And I don't think we're there yet. Low regulation. No. The answer to this is not in the big, beautiful bill. The answer to this is in the REINS Act. And you will see at the end of this monologue, that's the most important thing we can do.

A cohesive society, I don't know.

That's our job. Are you feeling like you're making inroads on that one? And stable laws and government. Well, that is the DOJ.

That is the FBI. That is restoring trust in our institutions. Are we doing that?

Well, I think this is one of the reasons why people think that we are on the right track.

Because, yeah. We're starting to see it.

But we're making some real mistakes there as well.

And that has to happen.

That's why Donald Trump.

I mean, if you look at these. You can understand why Donald Trump has the agenda that he has.

He's got to repair these things.

Now, the old way of fixing an economy, because you are -- you are not in trouble. Right?

I mean, you are -- we know that the government -- the business in America is not good.

The dollar is not good.

Our debt is not good.

The people really don't understand why it is so bad. Well, let me show you -- remember I told you, at some point, it was right after 2008. I said, they're going to start precipitating money. And they will tell you that they're not printing money.

They're digitizing money, and everything I said they would do, and they denied that they would do.

They did. And I said, that would lead to inflation. Which it did. Our government debt would explode. Which it did. And our dollar would lose value and eventually lose its place. They would start to degrade. I'm sorry. Downgrade our dollar status. Which they are doing now.

And then eventually, we would lose the reserve dollar. The currency for the reserve.

And everybody said that would never ever happen.

And now, look at where we are.

Okay.

In the years, when I was growing up, how did you fix an economy?

Well, the government could step in.

And they would cut taxes. But when they would cut taxes and not cut spending.

That increases debt.

Then you have the fed lower the interest rates.

That helps people have cheaper money to be able to take loans and start businesses, et cetera, et cetera.

But instead, what our people did, is they just gave zero interest rates.

So all of the big corporations, just took on all kinds of debt. But it -- they didn't have to worry about it. Because they didn't have to have any interest payments. So they just took on all kinds of debt.

That inflated our dollar by pumping all of that money in.

It inflated our dollar. So if you lower the interest rates.

You have debt.

You have things like QE. Quantitative easing. Which puts debt on the fed.

And you have inflation. Which is our biggest problem.

Then the other thing you would do, is you would do a stimulus package.

Have you noticed that this is the first time in American history, this administration, that I know of, that nobody is talking about a big, beautiful stimulus package.

Why?

Because a big, beautiful stimulus package, that doesn't work anymore. Because all it's doing is adding money to the debt!

And then the last thing you would do, if you were a conservative, is you would cut regulation.

Now, we can't do.

Tacks cuts. He's doing. But is he doing the tax cuts, in a way that are -- I mean, he's just holding the tax cuts, right?

We're not getting new tax cuts. Why?

Because it will increase the debt.

So we're doing the same tax cuts. Just making them permanent.

So your tax will not change. That does not help spur the economy. But it does help stabilize the economy.

But he is then taking taxes and he's saying, hey. No tax on tips. He's giving tax cuts at the lowest level of the economy. That's not going to spur on the economy. However, because of all of the other problems.

It's really important because the people at the bottom of the ladder are really struggling. And they have to have relief!

So a way to that do is give them tax cuts, some sort of tax relief.

Because you can't do a stimulus package. So let's try this. And hope that people spend that money, wisely.

Okay.

The other thing that you do, when you have a troubled economy, like we have had in the past, and we do now.

Is you look for a black swan event.

You look for a game-changer out on the horizon. Something is going to change everything.

Sometimes that's war. Sometimes that's an invention. But what will change everything, to refigure the economy. Okay. So now, let me tell you why the president is doing what he is doing with the big, beautiful bill. Everybody is arguing that we have to cut the deficit. Everybody is saying, there's no debt reduction here!

And we have to have debt reduction.

That is great! And you're right. We absolutely do.

I am with you, 110 percent. We cannot continue spending this way! Now, let's look at the other side. Why wouldn't you cut the debt?

Well, there's a couple of reasons. You don't think it's a problem.

Nobody with a brain think it's a problem now.

And that's one or two brains between the whole lot of them, in Congress. But you -- you know that this is a problem. Okay.

So you don't care that it's a problem. That's another one. You don't care that it's a problem. You just think, it will go on forever.
And the sun is shining right now, so I will just keep spending. And just put my head in the sand.

And it doesn't matter, because the United States is an oppressor anyway.

Yada. Yada.

Whatever your reason is, you don't care. You recognize the problem, but you don't care.
That's the second reason. There is another reason why not to cut the debt. And it is one that is very hard for Americans to understand.

But I take you back, if you're my age, to Ronald Reagan, when he says, when this debt gets to a point to where we are spending more on interest, than we are on our national defense, there will be no good options left. We are here!

There are no good options left.

The other reason why you don't cut the budget. You look for ways to spur the economy on.
You don't cut the budget, at least radically at all.

Because right now, I ready for this one?

This won't improve your mood. The US government and the budget.

What we spend every -- every year, now accounts for 25 percent of GDP.

So if you want to cut the budget. Let's say we just cut it in half, which Coolidge did. That means, that we take 12 cents out of every dollar that is being spent and used in America. We take 12 cents out of the economy. Now we're going to have to do it at some point. But how are you going to do that? Because that will hurt the GDP. You will reduce the GDP.

Once you reduce the GDP, then you have problems again, with the budget. The taxes and interest rates. Okay.

So you have to spur the economy on, before you start to dramatically cut the budget. Now, if your mood didn't improve when I said your GDP is now 25 percent of spending. Let me include the state and local spending.

So when you include the tax money, that is being spent now, your dollars that are being spent in our economy, and you include the federal government spending. The state spending. And the local spending, the good news is, it might be at times, as low as 34 percent. But it's much closer to 45 percent of our GDP.

So almost half of our spending, almost half of our gross domestic product, being what we build. What we buy, almost half of it, is being spent and purchased by our government.

So you cannot cut the budget quickly, dramatically.

But you must cut the budget. Or we collapse!

Do you see what Ronald Reagan was saying?

We're in a place where there are no good options!

I'm going to tell you some things today, that you won't hear anywhere else.

That you need to hear.

And we continue in one minute. First, let me tell you about Real Estate Agents I Trust.

If you are launching a rocket into space, who would you want in the cockpit?

You know, who would you want on the launch pad?

You know, would you like a crew of NASA-trained engineers?

Or maybe Elon Musk, and a bunch of his people. Who celebrates that she just learned what a planet is.

You want somebody that is saying, I think all of these buttons here are just like a social construct.

No. I don't want that. Okay? You want professionals, people who have done this before.

People who focus on this, all the time. People who know which switch to flip. And what it does when you do it. Most importantly, people who don't panic, the moment something goes not according to planned.

When it comes to buying or selling a house. That's exactly the people we want to line you with.

We want to line you up with the financial equivalent of a rocket scientist. Because your house, buying and selling is like a rocket launch.

Don't pick an agent. You know, through a friend or on a billboard or anything else.

Or somebody you went to high school with.

Find the real estate agent that you can trust, the one that we trust, after we have vetted over and over again. We started with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal, and we built from there.

RealEstateAgentsITrust.com. Find the right one for you.

RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.
(music)
Ten-second station ID. If we do not do the things we must do.

I'm going to give that list to you here.

In fact, let me do that now.

The number one thing that everybody should be asking for in this big, beautiful bill. Is not necessarily more cuts. I would like more cuts. But remember, we have to spur on the economy. How do we do that?

We have to stabilize our laws. Make sure that we are focusing on education. This is a longer term thing. The education. Stabilizing our laws to make sure they apply to everyone equally.

Do the exact opposite of what New York did, when they went after Donald Trump's business, even though other businesses do exactly the same thing.

You cannot have a growing economy, if you don't have stable laws. So you have to strengthen the DOJ and the FBI.

President Trump is doing that. You do have to cut. But you have to cut strategically.

That's what DOGE was doing. Congress is not doing their part by even passing the in my opinion of what DOGE did. That's Congress' fault. Then you need the REINS Act. Because the biggest thing that will spur on the economy, that we can actually do. We can't cut taxes anymore.

We can't cut the budget dramatically. Which we have to do.

So what do we do?

We've already lowered the cost of energy dramatically. We're already getting foreign investment, which will help us re-shore for our workers. That's longer term.

We have the game changer. It's AI.

Here's what we don't have: Low regulation.

We have to have low regulation. So I want you to call Congress, and the Senate. And say, put the REINS Act in the big, beautiful bill!

Because then you don't have to keep going, over and over again, and saying, well, will the Supreme Court allow us to do that. Will Congress pass that money?

Et cetera, et cetera.

It puts that power back where it belongs in Congress for all these regulations. And it defangs this out of control bloated government.

Because it requires that Congress passes all of the regulations.

Well, they're not going to pass a lot of them, are they?

That's why they got rid of them. This is a Woodrow Wilson progressive tool.

Get rid of it. Make it an administrative state.

The REINS Act is impaired. You want to subjective?

Pass the REINS Act. It is the only tool that we have, that will have positive consequences, and I can't think of many negative consequences. Because we restore the power, the way it is in the Constitution. And we cut all of the insane regulation quickly.

Which spurs on growth. That's what Donald Trump is trying to do.

He's like, we cannot cut our way out of this debt.

We have to grow our way out of this debt. And then begin to cut!

This is why the tariffs, this is his logic on the tariffs. I'm going to get foreigners. Foreigners to pay taxes. So we can put that in.

I don't believe in that. But he does.

That's what he's trying to do.

Everything he's trying to do, makes sense, if you understand the problems, that we have.

You may not agree with the solutions, but at least somebody is pursuing a solution.

You know, there was a great article out today, and we put it in the prep, because it is so -- so, so, so important. It's from Victor Davis Hanson.

And he said, look, historically, if you don't fix this now, historically, he said from Greece to Rome, through the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, there were only three ways of dealing with unsustainable debt, and none of them are good.

They're all civilizational killers.

Number one, Weimar Republic in cheap dollars. You inflate the dollar. The -- and then you bankrupt what really helped cause the Depression.

You can do that. You can pay back the $37 trillion in inflated dollars. It's just not good. It is the Weimar republic.

Number two, you can confiscate private wealth. People do that all the time throughout history.

This destroys the legitimacy of the government. It makes private investors, hide their money.

Confiscate the wealth. You're already seeing leftists say that that is exactly what we have to do.

It never works. Never works. It didn't work in Athens. It didn't work in Rome. It didn't work in Renaissance, Italy. It doesn't work. And the last one is the most drastic, and it's a killer too. South America has tried this one. And it just renounced the debt. It says, you know what, guys, we won't pay you back.

All through of those are civilizational killers. So pay attention to this, because your lifestyle is about to change!

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?

Exposed: Gavin Newsom’s SHOCKING civil war plot slips out

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.

Transcript

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!

Caught in the crosshairs: Will YOUR city survive June 14th?

People like AFT president Randi Weingarten and Walmart heiress Christy Walton are promoting a “nationwide day of defiance” protest event called “No Kings Day.” But amid the chaos in Los Angeles, Glenn Beck warns that the anti-Trump “No Kings” protests are designed for only one thing: to sow more chaos on our streets.

GLENN: The Coming Insurrection. I think we are -- I think we're here.

We're getting awfully darn close.

Look at the things that are happening right now. And the things that we said would happen.

And would all start be playing into each other.

You know, this -- this no kings event, next week.

I'm looking into it here. Jason, I know and you the staff have really been looking into it.

But June 14th, this is -- this is it.

In America, we don't do kings.

And on June 14th, we rise up.

And this is -- this is headed by Randi Weingarten. Who is strange. The head of the teacher union. Why is she so passionate about all of this, I wonder.

Anyway, she -- on Monday, they are going to tell their governments and the communities, no kings! Because what is happening according to Randi Weingarten and this group, is that Donald Trump has defiled our courts.

Really? The ones who -- wait. Weren't you guys just trying to pack the courts.

Defiled our courts. Deported Americans.

We haven't deported a single American. Have we deported a single American?

Disappeared people off our streets! What the hell does that even mean?

I mean, I know what it means. We're not doing that.

Attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services!

I wish they would have slashed our services.

Corruption has gone too far. No thrones. No crowns. No king. On June 14th, we rise up!

What do you suppose that is going to look like, in the midst of everything else, that is going on?

If you weren't for revolution, you would say, you know, guys, we've been working on the no kings thing, let's just hold off a little bit. Because we have California. LA.

Going on. This looks like it's starting to spread now. It's going to be in Boston. In New York.

Dallas. Last night.

And let's just -- let's just hold off on this.

Because we don't want to have, you know, another event, where we've got, you know, 150 cities, and these events going on.

And we're not at every event.

So we don't know who is actually organizing it.

Let's be very, very careful.

Let's take a breath.

They're not responsible people.

That is not their goal! To do reasonable things.
Their goal is to create as much chaos as possible.

I told you in 2000 -- beginning in 2008.

Look, the operative word for the future. The one word that you're going need to. Because it will describe almost everything, is chaos!

And anything that brings more chaos on the street, is not a good thing.

Stay away from people who are preaching chaos.

Law, order, constitutional principles. And principles that we find in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Those things run to.

Everything else, is going to be a real problem!

And isn't it amazing how all of these things are just suddenly spontaneously, all erupting.

We did a show, how many weeks ago?

Five weeks ago, where we said, what is your -- what's your goal, as a Democrat?

Because you don't get elected on these things.

You don't get elected by causing more chaos.

By saying, hey. We're for the murderers, and rapists.

You don't get elected. The people are not for these things.

And you are seeing it in poll after poll.

And in that special, I said, unless that's not your goal. Unless your goal is chaos.

Now is the time to strike!

And look where we are, right now.

You know, I have to say something about Dave Ramsey for a second.

I know this seems like a non sequitur, but it's not.

You know, the pro-Israel event, that I was just telling you, was being cancelled in Dallas.

There was one in Nashville.

And Dave is in Nashville.

And it was cancelled for the same reason.

Dave, apparently has a large compound, and could have a thousand people. Or 1500 people, at his -- at his place.

And so he hosted it.

And took great risk. And hats off to you. I've been sitting here, thinking, after I read that.

Can we put that many people into our studios. I just don't think we can.

But my gosh, there's a guy who is standing up for what he believes, and putting his money where his mouth is.

Putting his safety where his mouth is.

And thank you, Dave Ramsey, for doing that.

You're a great man. Truly a great man.

STU: Greater than you, apparently.

He could pull it off.

GLENN: Apparently.

Well, I've worked with too many wusses. People that are like, Glenn!

STU: No. I'm in Dallas, right now. Where are you? Hmm. Interesting.

GLENN: I'm in an undisclosed location.
(laughter)

STU: Probably the smartest place to be, these days.

GLENN: I was going to say. I'm smart. I'm up in the mountains, where really, if you haven't thought about it, maybe you should consider it!

I'm just saying.

Let's see. What else haven't we -- what else haven't we hit yet, Stu. That is important to get in. Before we lose our national broadcast time?

STU: That's a good question.

We hit the -- the -- how about Brian Stelter, this is a fun one.

Brian Stelter.

GLENN: What!

STU: Now, Brian Stelter. He's out there, making sure you understand these protests.

First of all, he wants to make sure you know, well, not you, Glenn.

His friends that are texting him.

He wants them to know, that he has come on TV, and said, it's just a very small slice of Los Angeles.

Most people in Los Angeles are going about their business absolutely.

Normally.

Their lives are normal. They're unaffected.

GLENN: Wow. That's insight I couldn't have gotten from anybody else.

Wait. So you're not saying every person in Los Angeles is on the streets?

GLENN: No!

GLENN: Wow.

STU: I find that to be a fascinating thing.

There's like a nice little -- I don't know.

Let them eat cake element to it. I like.

Oh. Let those poor people, hit with rubber bullets. While we cheer them on.

From our wonderful Hollywood mansion.

I love you that element, of don't worry!

It's just --

GLENN: It's just the plebes of society.

STU: Yes. So he wants you to know about that.

Look, there's some relevance to that critique generally, in these moments. Right?

At times, we do get -- news cuts out the perspective that entire cities aren't on fire.

I do remember being on tour with you one time, Glenn.

And we were -- we were doing theaters across the country.

And I flip on the news.

It was MSNBC at the time.

And I see a former, you know, cable news personality, Rita Cosby. Do you remember Rita Cosby.

She was on MSNBC a few years back in the day.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: I see her on a boat. She's on a canoe. And she's on a boat.

She's floating around, and I'm looking at it like, where is she?

It's not on a river! She's on a street!

There's so much flooding. She's on a boat on a street. And I'm like, oh, my gosh. Where is she?

And I realized, she's legitimately like a block and a half from my house.

GLENN: I remember. You came in. And you were like, I can't do the show.

My kids might be dead.

Help!

STU: I'm texting my wife, calling my wife. What is happening?

She's on a boat, right by the house. And she was like a block and a half from my house. I finally got my wife on the phone, panicked.

My house will be flooding. What will go on? What will we need to do?

And she's like, oh, well.

There's kind of like a big puddle at the end of our street.

Is that what she's talking about? And not only was there only flooding right there, in this one period.

Which floods all the time.

Every restaurant in our town was opened.

Everyone was going about their business normally. There was like, one or two houses that were affected, that are right on the water. Right on the river, where we lived. But that was it. But like, from my perspective, watching it on MSNBC, it appeared, my house and all of its belongings were going to be floating down the Delaware river at any moment.

So there is some level of context and perspective that is important in those moments.

But it seemingly only happens when you're trying to downplay the violence of a riot on the left.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: And then today, Stelter is back on TV, saying one of the big problems with all of this is Twitter!

And X. Because what they're doing is echoing videos that could be, Glenn. You're not going to believe this. Could be up to hours old. So, I mean, you can't understand --

GLENN: Unlike television. Unlike television. Unlike television that is running -- that is running things from Friday and Saturday, you know.

STU: Right.

GLENN: It's up to hours old.

STU: Could be hours old. Maybe even a couple days old. And you shouldn't care, I suppose.

GLENN: Wow. That is amazing. Hey, can I ask you one of the shocking things that came out of what you were just talking about. Is that Brian Stelter was on TV.

Who knew that was still happening some place.

I want to ask your question on this. Get your thoughts on this.

Multiple people shot during DC pride parade. After gay activists rejected security measures.

Okay.

Have you heard about the shooting at the gay pride parade?

STU: I have not, no.

GLENN: Okay. That is odd to me.

Isn't that odd?

There's a big gay pride parade.

Shooting took place at DuPont Circle, a cite traditionally used by the LGBTQ+ community, leaving one male injured, according to the Washington, D.C. police department.

Shooting has occurred. Police also learned citizens of a stabbing that took place in the same area, which left two male victims suffering from stab wounds.

Okay.

So why haven't we heard about this?

Because you would think that that would immediately be turned into, see. Look, the gay pride parade.

They were told, they needed security, and they said, no!

We don't need security.

We're proud. And then, you know, nothing happened, except some right-wing extremists came out. And were stabbing gay people. And shooting gay people.

STU: Did the wrong shooter commit this crime?

Is that what occurred?

GLENN: When has that ever stopped.

STU: That's true.

That's the only thing I can think of.

Certainly, if a right-wing group decided to target a gay pride parade, it would be literally the lead story for months.

GLENN: For months.

STU: Yeah. So it has to be --

GLENN: For months.

STU: -- either just some general street crime, which wants to be ignored. Or it was -- you know, somebody else.

GLENN: It's got to be street. Just regular street crime.

Because that's crazy. By the way, the global gay pride parade that was apparently happening some place here in America.

And it happens every year. Some place globally.

And this year, it was America's turn. And they're saying, that the turnout, was about a third of what they expected.

Apparently, not so much pride, in the gay pride parade, this year, I guess.

I don't really know.

I don't really care, quite honestly.

But I would like to blame it on Donald Trump.

Because I -- I -- we haven't received any kind of, you know, official proclamation. Or -- or any kind of presidential dictate on what we were supposed to do with gay month.

With gay Pride Month.

And so I'm a little lost. Insular even have my tree up. Do you have your tree up?

I don't know which flags to fly. I don't know when to fly them.

I just don't know what parade to even attend right now.

And it's -- it's a little disturbing.

There's one other story that we haven't gotten to, and that is RFK Jr has -- has fired all 17 members of the CBC vaccine panel. I couldn't decide which one was worse, so he was like, eh. You know what, all of them. And I would just like to say, thank you very much.

Why Trump CAN send the National Guard to Los Angeles

Democrats and the mainstream media are furious that President Trump sent the National Guard to Los Angeles to quell anti-ICE riots. But Glenn Beck has the receipts, straight from our laws. Glenn reviews just how chaotic the riots have become and why it’s NOT “unprecedented” for Trump to send in the National Guard.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: All right. Let's just go through some of the video.

I want to introduce my executive producer, Stu Burguiere. And head writer. And chief of research for the Glenn Beck Program. Jason Buttrill.

We're just going to go over just some of the videos that you've seen. Maybe miss some of these.

Here's first. Our US Border Patrol agents, under fire. Cut one.

Yeah. See there. Okay. So they're in their Humvee or whatever it is. All right?

It's got to be great going into Los Angeles, going into your job, and doing this.

They're all in gas masks. Now, cut two.

This is a vehicle capturing the aftermath of the Border Patrol vehicle, as it's struck by -- here's cut number two.

You see the broken windshield up in front?

All right.

Cut three, these are foreign flags. And the chanting on the streets of California.

And there, of course, is the Party City Hamas flag.

See that one. What are they chanting? I'm a lunatic. I'm a lunatic. You and me, we're lunatics.

What was it? Notice, we're going to get into this next hour.

Play that again. Keep playing that. You'll notice, there's a sign that they're carrying. And you'll see it here in just a second. Right there.

CHIRLA. C-H-I-R-L-A. We're going to get into what that is, here in just a second.

But it is important, they're telling you, who they are.

And we're going to get into that here in just a minute. Here's some rioters that are holding rocks at the federal convoy.

Again, just throwing some rocks at everything.

And

STU: Oh, believe me, I mean, these people can easily be killed by this. You're throwing a rock at somebody coming by at 45 miles an hour, if it goes through the windshield, it will kill the person.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

So let's go to the next one.

Here's CNN, and how peaceful it is.

VOICE: At this point, this has been a very peaceful riot.

It's been tense at some points. But we haven't seen any violence happening here.

What people are saying, is that they don't think ICE belongs in Los Angeles. They want ICE out of the city.

STU: Is that a--

GLENN: Well --

STU: That the standard, Glenn?

GLENN: No. It's really not.

STU: Is it peace?

Because peaceful to me, indicates a bunch of people standing around, not committing any crimes. Right?

Maybe walked down the street. This is them blocked a freeway. She's standing in the million dollars of what seems like a freeway. Stopping all this traffic.

Terrifying all the people that couldn't get through.

GLENN: Right. But it's mostly peaceful.

STU: Mostly peaceful.

Then just down the street, things are on fire. And they're throwing rocks at people passing by at 40 miles an hour.

That's not mostly peaceful.

That's not the standard.

Like it's -- it's easy to be peaceful most of the time. Most criminals are, I would assume.

GLENN: Can I -- I don't know how you are define the word mostly.

But let me help you out.

Hiroshima.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: Hiroshima, 1945.

It was mostly moderate temperatures.

Except for that one spike for just a little short period of time, on that one day. But it was mostly moderate temperatures.

STU: That's right!

GLENN: I don't understand -- no!

Here is, here is Karen Bass. The Los Angeles communist mayor.

Here's what she's saying.

JULIO: Frankly. I'm just outraged.

Because what happened is, when ICE went in. They just took people away.

And we just can't have this in our city. And it happened multiple places in the city. And what it does, is that it sews a sense of terror, throughout the community. For example, one --

GLENN: Okay. Stop. Stop. Stop.

So I just want to make sure, remind you, one of the guys that they arrested was inserting foreign objects into people, forcefully.

You know, I think that's called rape, myself.

But I don't know. I'm not an LA prosecutor. So I don't know what they call it there.

But it showed sew some terror into the minds of people like that.

We're coming to get you.

But that's not the average person in California. And if it is, I remind you, don't go to Disneyland, for the love of God. Go to Florida. At least, maybe, you won't have things inserted inside of you. If that's the way average Californians behave. We have Jason Buttrill with us.

Jason, you're watching all of this. What jumps out to you?

JASON: Specifically the claims of spontaneous grassroots. You know, it's a natural response to society, when something this terrifying happens.

But then they all have this one weird ideology. Blended with another one!

Which is very, very strange.

Like, you know, this is kind of a crazy coincidence, that they're all socialists. Communists.

Marxists.

With a little hint of Islamism.

GLENN: Really?

JASON: You know, I don't -- does anything really weird happen or bad in history. When you try to rally a bunch of people around socialism and anti-Semitism?

Has that happened before?

GLENN: Well, no, no, no. No. I know what you're saying.

But Germany was mostly safe for the Jews.

JASON: That's very true.

GLENN: Except for that little period of time. But other than that, mostly safe for Jews.

JASON: Oh, my gosh. Glenn, you these groups. You mention some of them.

Party for socialism and liberation. Conveniently had all these slick signs printed up.

You know, I'm trying to search way back into the memory bank. But I think we saw the same thing. And ties to pretty much every anti-Semitic attack. And violent like riot that has happened over the past year or so.

GLENN: Let's remind you, what was the name of the party that the guy, Stu.

Can you look this up, quick. Remember the guy who shot the two kids in Washington, DC? Coming out of that -- you know, how to help the Palestinian people, and these two Jews walked out, and they're gunned down in the street. He was part of the party of socialism.

Or something. Wasn't he?

JASON: He had ties to the party for socialism, Liberation, and another group. It was either the People's Forum or the Answer Coalition. I can't remember.

GLENN: Which is also involved in all of this!

JASON: No! In this grassroots spontaneous thing? Wow. Wow.

GLENN: Yes. Yes. Producing the killer in Washington, DC. And these.

JASON: And the riots on Columbia University. Kind of odd. It's very grassroots.

GLENN: So here's LA Councilwoman Hernandez. Listen to this.

Cut 13.

VOICE: And we've mobilized. That's why they're changing tactics. Because community defense works, and our resistance has slowed them down before.

And if they're resilient in our tactics, then so are we!

When they go up, when they show up, we will show up even stronger.

GLENN: Okay. I'm not sure what that means, exactly.

They're escalating the tactics. Well, when you shut down freeways. When you start throwing literal concrete slabs at police officers and -- and federal officers, hmm. Yeah. I think you're going to -- I think they're going to have to change tactics.

Because despite what CNN says, it's not a mostly peaceful protest at that point.

So they're sending in the National Guard.

But, by the way, we will have a lot in the next couple of days. But about 20 minutes, I will take you through the funding.

You will have to find ways to get this to your friends. Because if they cannot be saved at this point, if they can't be turned and they can't understand what's actually happening in California, and who is responsible and behind it.

And what their intentions are, you are going to have to write your friends off.

You just will have to. Because they'll never get it.

If they can't get it, after what we will teach you this week. They will never get it. So it's really important you understand what's actually happening.

And not just -- not just the stuff on X, and everything else.

But you actually understand in-depth what is actually happening. And we will give that to you, in about 20 minutes. But so the president sent out the national guard. Well, the governor was very upset about it. Very upset.

He says, that it was unlawful. Police were making arrests. Twenty-nine on Saturday. Ten on Sunday.

That's what this whole thing, they say is -- is about, 39 different arrests. Not going in and scooping up whole neighborhoods.

Very specific targeted individuals. Who we told you who some of them were.

They are very bad people.

So once again, is this about that, or is this about the overthrowing of the United States?

Okay!

So Los Angeles police declared several of these, quote, rallies to be unlawful assemblies.

And -- and the police were saying, they're throwing, quote, concrete projectiles. Bottles and other items at police.

They set several self-driving cars from Alphabet's Waymo. I love this. They set those things on fire. How much is that costing you, Google? You regretting at all, being in bed with these people, at all?

No. Of course not. Of course not.

They were -- demonstrators were shouting, shame on you, at the police. While they were throwing concrete slabs.

They were carrying Mexican flags. And signs denouncing the US immigration authorities.

And those signs as you pointed out, Jason.

I mean, just look at the pictures. At the bottom of the sign.

They were printed by, which group?

JASON: Party for socialism and liberation.

GLENN: Okay.

Socialists and anti-Semites. Socialists and anti-Israel people.

This is so incredible -- incredibly dangerous. Because when we say, they're anti-Israel.
They're anti-Semites.

What we really mean, they're Islamists.

And we will give you some stuff this week, on what's happening with this country. But I'm telling you, this is our future. This is what it's going to look like, from now until 2028.

It's only going to get worse and worse and worse on our streets.

And we will to have some decisions made, and we have to be very, very careful. Because if somebody should win on the other side.

On their side in 2028, we are in deep, deep trouble. Because they don't care about the law.

They're not -- they are not enforcing the law. They do not care about the Constitution.

They will wrap themselves in the Constitution, but they don't care!

So the president sent out the National Guard.

And everybody who knows anything about the Constitution, will say immediately, he can't do that!

Posse comitatus.

But read the Constitution. The president can send in the national guard without the approval of the state or the governor on very specific things.

Okay. And here they are. The president has the authority in cases of insurrection.

Rebellion. Or when federal rights are being denied.

Okay?

So he can do it, active duty military, in the United States, for extraordinary situations.

They can send them in section 251, at the request of the state. If a legislature or a governor of a legislature can't be convened, request of help to suppress an insurrection can be sent to the president, and he can send them in.

Section 252, without a request.

When he needs to enforce federal law, if unlawful obstructions or rebellion make it impracticable. Is that right?

Impracticable. Whatever. To enforce -- how did I get this job? I'm in the Hall of Fame. America, raise your standards, for the love of Pete!

Anyway, if it makes it impossible for them to enforce federal law in a state, by regular means, the president can send in forces without state consent.

Would you say that we are having unlawful obstructions, or rebellion, that make it impossible to enforce the federal law? In California?

Section 253. Rebellion or denial of Constitutional rights.

So if there's an insurrection or domestic violence that hinders the execution of federal law, results in the denial of civil rights, protected under the Constitution.

Or if the state authorities are unable or unwilling to protect those rights, the president may deploy troops without the approval of the government.
