Glenn: Hillary Clinton should face PRISON after Durham Report

The Durham Report revealed that the 2016 Clinton campaign — with knowledge of Hillary Clinton herself — fabricated the claims that Donald Trump was colluding with Russia. Then, the FBI — despite knowing it was a Clinton-concocted story all along — investigated the phony claims and even LEAKED it to the public. So, why is Hillary Clinton (and all those involved) not currently sitting in prison for massive election interference? THIS is why Glenn is so fed up, he says. The lack of action to hold ANY D.C. leaders responsible for their crimes and corruption has gone too far. There’s just ONE way to change it, and Glenn explains how in this clip…

GLENN: I'm looking at what the Durham report actually said.

The Durham report said a few things. Our investigation revealed that senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor toward the information that they received. Especially from politically affiliated persons and entities.

In particular, there was a significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded directly or indirectly by Trump's political opponents.

The department did not adequately examine or question these materials. And the motives of those providing them. I want to take you back to Ricky Vaughn. Stu, who is Ricky Vaughn?

STU: Well, he was the pitcher in the movie Major League, but also, he was a pseudonym of a guy named Mackey. What was his first name? I can't remember. Douglass Mackey.

GLENN: Okay.

STU: Douglass Mackey. And he -- and he was a -- you know, an online troll, they would call him. And he was posting things. In a pro-Trump way, online. Back in the 2016 election.

Some of those things were like, hey. Remember, save time. Don't wait in line. You can vote from home.

And, of course, you couldn't vote from home, it was a criminal thing to suggest something like that. That didn't happen until the 2020 election, when you were allowed to do that. That is a totally different election though.

Now, everyone just voted from -- it's mail voting from all.

But back in the day, this was criminal to suggest, Glenn. And it was a joke, right? It was a joke about, hey, Democrats vote on Wednesday. Republicans vote on Tuesday.

I mean, it's a joke that's gone back forever.

GLENN: Forever.

STU: So he was arrested for this. Because it was disinformation.

He was supposedly -- I mean, the write-up from the government.

It was like, he's, you know, messing with the most central part of our democracy.

The right to vote. I mean, it's so heavy-handed and ridiculous.

He was brought in. He argued, look. It's a joke. Like, all the things you would think he would argue.

He lost. And is now facing ten years in prison. And is due to be sentenced in August for that. For that, quote, unquote, crime.

GLENN: Okay. Okay.

So a guy who put a meme up, that said, you can vote from home, just, you know, mail it in on Wednesday.

STU: Vote by text, I just was the specific thing.

GLENN: Yeah. Vote by text.

So vote by text.

He goes to prison for possibly ten years. Now, I would think that if anyone had seen that meme, and you believed it, I would say that there is a serious lack of analytical rigor toward the information that you have received, especially from politically affiliated persons or entities.

Right? You didn't adequately examine or question the materials and the motives of those providing them.

Now, that was part of the Durham report. Those words. And it fits both.

Okay? And what they said was, well, we just have to -- we just have to police ourself a little better.

We just have to follow the rules a little better. Because we should have. We should have questioned this.

Right? We should have questioned. We knew it was coming from Hillary Clinton.

We should have questioned this. But we fixed it. Nobody goes to jail.

Because they just -- you know, the people that got that information, they just made a mistake. They ran with it. And they shouldn't have.

Well, what about the people that just ran with the meme. Do we know if anybody did?

Was there any real harm done by that in the first place?

And wouldn't it be their responsibility to go, that seems a little too good to be true. I've never heard that.

Because the FBI just got off, from doing exactly the same thing.

The FBI just got off.

This guy now, he was -- what was it?

Sacrificing or infringing on our most sacred right to vote. How?

He was suppressing the vote with misinformation. Okay.

Okay.

So let me see.

So if we just look at the Durham Report, they didn't suppress information.

They manufactured information. They put false information out, that they according to the report, knew was false.

They knew it was coming from Hillary Clinton's campaign.

None of them had any serious thought, that these charges were true. But they decided to investigate anyway.

And then they leaked that information, which, by the way, try to find out anything about the January 6th people.

Try to find anything out.

I'm sorry, the Justice Department does not comment on ongoing investigations.

But they leaked this out.

Why? For political purposes.

Hillary Clinton planned a disinformation campaign, to leak -- to get it out.

That -- that Donald Trump was in league with the Russians.

Which he wasn't, now proven by the Durham report.

There was no truth in it.

Is she going to get five years in prison? Because I think she did more than a meme.

How about all of the CIA former chiefs, that knowingly signed a letter, that was only produced to give Biden the edge at a campaign debate.

So he would be able to squash Donald Trump, and knowingly help Biden win.

That seems to me, worse than you can text your vote on Wednesday.

Doesn't it?

This is why I'm so fed up.

First of all, none of this is going to change, until two things happen.

One, you get a Republican House and Senate, and not one of the usual House and Senate.

But ones with spines!

People who will actually stand up and do something.

If you get that, you'll be able to impeach all of these people. You won't be able to put any -- any of them in jail. Because they will all go through the Justice Department.

Which, the Justice Department, you know, if it's Republicans in both the House and the Senate, you have a chance of cleaning house on that as well.
But until that is totally cleaned up.

You still have the judge and the jury, in Washington, DC.

They're predisposed to believe the Democrats, and give them the benefit of the doubt. Because 95 percent of them, vote that way.

So you're really not getting a jury of your peers, in Washington.

You're not getting a fair trial, in Washington.

But this is the kind of thing, that is causing so many Americans to say, I'm living in a banana republic.

There is no justice. There is -- no one is going to pay for anything.

That cannot be.

We live in a republic. And even though our national leaders have forgotten that. And they look at us, like mice. Or annoyances.

Something they have to once in a while, just go, put their arm around and go, hi.

Aunt Hilda, it's good to see you again.

You do your hour at the nursing home, and then you leave. That's the way our politicians nationally look at you.

You're their boss. This is our money. How many years were spent -- how many millions of dollars were spent on this report.

Only to have it completely dismissed by the people, who are in league with the people, who did it. They're in league with the Clintons.

They're in league with the Justice Department.

They helped leak these stories, and push the story, that we all now know, was a lie.

That these things are true. And there's mounting evidence. There was no mounting evidence.

None!

All of those years -- all of that division. And none of them have apologized.

So first thing we have to do is just start asking, is anyone going to pay the price that Ricky Vaughn has paid?

And if none of the elites have paid that price, why is Ricky Vaughn paying that price?

This is what you call the Bubba Effect.

We all know what Ricky Vaughn did was wrong.

But the bigger problem is the people in Washington. So we'll take care of the Ricky Vaughns of the world. Get out of our life. That's the Bubba Effect.

We cannot accept that the national government has power over us, and there is nothing we can do about it. There is. If you are fed up of people not going to jail, tomorrow night, at 8 o'clock, a Blaze TV network-wide special is happening. I'm the host of it.

And it is the reckoning. The Biden crime family.

And I urge you to get your friends, your neighbors, anyone. Anyone who is a little fed up, to view.

Because the solution -- the constitutional stick in the eye, comes from you.

And only when you stand up, and there is a way to do this.

There is a way to make sure justice is served.

And it's all constitutional.

We need you to be a part of it.

Will you join us, and at least see the case we're laying out?

It's tomorrow night. I think it's a two-hour special.

On Blaze TV.

Make sure you join us. By the way, you can get your questions in.

During the show, we're going to do -- we'll take some questions after. Mark Levin is joining me. We'll take some questions from the audience, if you're a Blaze TV subscriber. You can now send them in, with our live chat. You can send them in right now. And our producers can get ahead on this.

But it's all about the crimes, that have been committed.

And how we go about saving it.

If you would like to get involved, you can watch it on YouTube for as long as it lasts. You can also watch it at Blaze TV.com.

It will always be there, and we are doing it for you, and we would love for you to be a subscriber, 30 percent off now. BlazeTV.com/Glenn.

WARNING: How America Elects a Socialist President in 2028 | Glenn TV | Ep 444

The rise of Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old socialist who just won the Democratic primary for mayor, is not just a political earthquake shaking New York City — it’s a warning for the rest of America. Backed by Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani promises free everything, to tax the rich, and to dismantle capitalism. There’s nothing new about this tired strategy, but the media is propping him up as a new political genius. And with Democrat leaders lining up behind him, it’s clear: This radicalism isn’t fringe anymore. It’s the Democratic Party’s future. Mamdani’s rise is part of a larger movement that’s rewriting America’s values. Glenn Beck explains how New York is the prototype for the Left’s socialist makeover of America. Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Standford, gives a terrifying prediction on Mamdani’s mayoral race chances and warns the revolution is coming for mainstream Democrats. He also dives into MAGA’s frustration with the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.

INSIDE Trump’s soul: How a bullet changed his heart forever

“I have a new purpose,” then-candidate Donald Trump told reporter Salena Zito after surviving the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Salena joins Glenn Beck to reveal what Trump told her about God, his purpose in life, and why he really said, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, as she details in her new book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland”.

GLENN: Salena, congratulations on your book. It is so good.

Just started reading it. Or listening to it, last night.

And I wish you would have -- I wish you would have read it. But, you know, the lady you have reading it is really good.

I just enjoy the way you tell stories.

The writing of this is the best explanation on who Trump supporters are. That I think I've ever read, from anybody.

It's really good.

And the description of your experience there at the edge of the stage with Donald Trump is pretty remarkable as well. Welcome to the program.

SALENA: Thank you, Glenn. Thank you so much for having me.

You know, I was thinking about this, as I was ready to come on. You and I have been along for this ride forever. For what?

Since 2006? 2005?

Like 20 years, right?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

SALENA: And I've been chronicling the American people for probably ten more years, before that. And it's really remarkable to me, as watching how this coalition has grown. Right?

And watching how people have the -- have become more aspirational.

And that's -- and that is what the conservative populist coalition is, right?

It is the aspirations of many, but the celebration of the individual.

And chronicling them, yeah. Has been -- has been, a great honor.

GLENN: You know, I was thinking about this yesterday, when -- when Elon Musk said he was starting another party.

And somebody asked me, well, isn't he doing what the Tea Party tried to do?

No. The Tea Party was not going to start a new party.

It was to -- you know, it was to coerce and convince the Republican Party to do the right thing. And it worked in many ways. It didn't accomplish what we hoped.

But it did accomplish a lot of things.

Donald Trump is a result of the Tea Party.

I truly believe that. And a lot of the people that were -- right?

Were with Donald Trump, are the people that were with the Tea Party.


SALENA: That's absolutely right.

So that was the inception.

So American politics has always had movements, that have been just outside of a party. Or within a party.

That galvanize and broaden the coalition. Right? They don't take away. Or walk away, and become another party.

If anything, if there is a third party out there, it's almost a Republican Party.

Because it has changed in so many viable and meaningful ways. And the Tea Party didn't go away. It strengthened and broadened the Republican Party. Because these weren't just Republicans that became part of this party.

It was independents. It was Democrats.

And just unhappy with the establishment Republicans. And unhappy with Democrats.

And that -- that movement is what we -- what I see today.

What I see every day. What I saw that day, in butler, when I showed I happen at that rally.

As I do, so many rallies, you know, throughout my career. And that one was riveting and changed everything.

GLENN: You made a great case in the opening chapter. You talk about how things were going for Donald Trump.

And how this moment really did change everything for Donald Trump.

Changed the trajectory, changed the mood.

I mean, Elon Musk was not on the Trump train, until this.

SALENA: Yeah.

GLENN: Moment. What do I -- what changed? How -- how did that work?

And -- and I contend, that we would have much more profound change, had the media actually done their job and reported this the way it really was. Pragmatism

SALENA: You know, and people will find this in the book. I'm laying on the ground with an agent on top of me.

I'm 4 feet away from the president.

And there's -- there's notices coming up on my phone. Saying, he was hit by broken glass.

And to this take, that remains part of this sibling culture, in American politics.

Because reporters were -- were so anxious to -- to right what they believed happened.

As opposed to what happened.

And it's been a continual frustration of mine, as a reporter, who is on the ground, all the time.

And I'll tell you, what changed in that moment.

And I say a nuance, and I believe nuance is dead in American journalism.

But it was a nuance and it was a powerful conversation, that I had with President Trump, the next day. He called me the next morning.

But it's a powerful conversation I had with him, just two weeks ago.

When he made this decision to say, fight, fight, fight.

People have put in their heads, why they think he said it. But he told me why he said that. And he said, Salena, in that moment, I was not Donald Trump the man. I was a former president. I was quite possibly going to be president again.

And I had an obligation to the country, and to the office that I have served in, to project strength. To project resolve.

To project that we will not be defeated.

And it's sort of like a symbolic eagle, that is always -- you know, that symbol that we look at, when we think about our country.

He said, that's why I said that. I didn't want the people behind me panicking. I didn't want the people watching, panicking.

I had to show strength. And it's that nuance -- that I think people really picked up on.

And galvanized people.

GLENN: So he told me, when he was laying down on the stage.

And you can hear him. Let me get up. Let me get up.

I've got to get up.

He told me, as I was laying on the stage. I asked him, what were you thinking? What was going through your head? Now, Salena, I don't know about you.

But with me. It would be like, how do I get off the stage? My first was survival.

He said, what was going on through his mind was, you're not pathetic. This is pathetic.

You're not afraid. Get up.

Get up.

And so is that what informed his fight, fight, fight, of that by the time that he's standing up, he's thinking, I'm a symbol? Or do you think he was thinking, I'm a symbol, this looks pathetic. It makes you look weak.

Stand up. How do you think that actually happened?

SALENA: He thinks, and we just talked about this weeks ago. He -- you know, and this is something that he's really thought about.

Right? You know, he's gone over and over and over. And also, purpose and God. Right? These are things that have lingered with him.

You know, he -- he thought, yes.

He did think, it was pathetic that he was on the ground. But he wasn't thinking about, I'm Donald Trump. It's pathetic.

He's thinking, my country is symbolically on the ground. I need to get up, and I need to show that my country is strong.

That our country is resolute.

And I need people to see that.

We can't go on looking like pathetic.

Right?

And I think that then goes to that image of Biden.

GLENN: You have been with so many presidents.

How many presidents do you think that you've personally been with, would have thought that and reacted that way?

SALENA: Probably only Reagan. Reagan would have. Reagan probably would have thought that.

And if you remember how he was out like standing outside.

You know, waving out the window. Right?

After he was shot.

GLENN: At the hospital, right.

SALENA: Had he not been knocked out, unconscious, you know, he probably would have done the same thing.

Because he was someone who deeply believed in American exceptionalism.

And American exceptionalism does not go lay on the ground.

GLENN: And the symbol.

Right. The symbol of the presidency.

SALENA: Yeah. Absolutely. And I think that affects him today.

GLENN: So let me go back to God.

Because you talked to him the next day. And your book Butler.

He calls you up.

I love the fact that your parents would be ashamed of you. On what you said to him.

The language you used. That you just have to read the book.

It's just a great part.

But he calls you the next morning. And wants to know if you're okay.

And you -- you then start talking to him, about God.

And I was -- I was thinking about this, as I was listening to it. You know, Lincoln said, I wasn't -- I wasn't a Christian.

Even though, he was.

I wasn't a Christian, when I was elected. I wasn't a Christian when my son died.

I became a Christian at Gettysburg.

Is -- is -- I mean, I believe Donald Trump always believes in God, et cetera, et cetera.

Do you think there was a real profound change at Butler with him?


SALENA: Absolutely. You know, he called me seven times that day. Seven times, the take after seven.

GLENN: Crazy.

SALENA: Talked about. And I think he was looking for someone that he knew, that was there. And to try to sort it out.

Right? And I let him do most of the talking. I didn't pressure him.

At all. I believed that he was having -- you know, he was struggling. And he needed to just talk. And I believed my purpose was to listen.

Right? I know other reporters would have handled it differently. And that's okay. That's not the kind of reporter that I am.

And I myself was having my own like, why didn't I die?

Right?

Because it went right over my head.

And -- and so I -- he had the conversation about God.

He's funny. I thought it was the biggest mosquito in the world that hit me.

But he had talked profoundly about purpose. You know, and God.

And how God was in that moment.

It --

GLENN: I love the way you -- in the book, I love the way you said that as he's kind of working it out in his own he head.

He was like, you know, I -- I -- I always knew that there was some sort of, you know -- that God was present.

He said, but now that this has happened.

I look back at all of the trials.

All of the tribulations. Literally, the trials.

All of the things that have happened. And he's like, I realized God was there the whole time.

SALENA: Yes. He does. And it's fascinating to have been that witness to history, to have those conversations with him. Because I'm telling you. And y'all know, I can talk. I didn't say much of anything.

I just -- I just listened. I felt that was my purpose, in that moment.

To give him that space, to work it out.

I'm someone that is, you know, believes in God.

I'm Catholic. I followed my faith.

And -- and so, I thought, well, this is why God put me here. Right?

And to -- to have that -- to hear him talk about purpose, to hear him say, Salena. Why did I put a chart down?

I'm like, sir. I don't know. I thought you were Ross Perot for a second.

He never has a chart. And he laughed. And then he said, why did I put that chart down?

By that term, I never turned my head away from people at the rally. That's true.

That relationship is very transactional. It's very -- they feed off of each other.

It's a very emotive moment when you attend a rally. Because he has a way of talking at a rally. That you believe that you are seeing.

And he said, and I never turn my head away.

I never turn my head away.

Why did I turn my head away?

I don't remember consciously thinking about turning my head away. And then he says to me, that was God, wasn't it?

Yes, sir. It was. It was God.

And he said, that's -- that's why I have a new purpose.

And so, Glenn. I think it's important, when you look at the breadth of what has happened, since he was sworn in.

You see that purpose, every day.

He doesn't let up.

He continues going.

And it brings back to the beginning of the book.

Where you find out, that there was another president that was shot at in Butler.

And that was George Washington. And how different the country would have been, had he died in that moment.

And now think about how different the country would be, had President Trump died in that moment. There would be --

GLENN: We're talking to -- we're talking to Salena Zito. About her new book called Butler. The assassination attempt on President Trump. And it is riveting.

And, you know, it is so good. I wish the press would read it. Because it really explains who we are, who Trump supporters are. Who are, you know, red staters. It is so good at that. She's the best at that.
