Ignoring the Buffalo criminal’s OWN WORDS does grave damage

The man who grotesquely took the lives of ten others in Buffalo, NY last weekend has been painted by the mainstream media to be a Fox News-obsessed and Tucker Carlson-watching conservative. Rolling Stone even described him as a ‘mainstream Republican.’ But that analysis couldn’t be further from the proof. Glenn reads the criminal's OWN WORDS, which prove he was FAR from a freedom-loving Constitutionalist. And if those in the press continue to blatantly ignore his own words, then they’ll not only cause grave damage, but they will make the problem even worse…

GLENN: Anyway there's a story from the Washington Examiner that is really important today. The New York man, who shot up a Buffalo supermarket on Sunday kept no secrets about how and why he planned to murder as many blacks as possible. Of course, we know from the mainstream media, that reason is: He's a white supremacist Republican.

However, that doesn't seem to be true.

PAT: Hmm.

GLENN: The corporate media has -- from -- from the very get-go, tried to associate him with the Republicans. Say that he's a conservative. Say that he got all of his training with Tucker Carlson. But, you know, it's weird. It's weird. In the 180-page document, authored by the shooter, he doesn't mention Tucker Carlson, not even once. Not at all. Not at all.

There is one mention of Fox News. And it's an infographic, showing the top Fox News hosts such as Maria Bartiromo, and Greg Gutfeld, as being Jewish. He then also says, Rupert Murdoch is a Christian Zionist, who may have Jewish ancestry. Although, it's never been publicly admitted.

So -- oh. Another thing. Ben Shapiro is mentioned multiple times, including as an example as the rat of the Jewish people.

PAT: Oh.

GLENN: So gosh, that doesn't sound conservative to me. Doesn't sound Republican. Doesn't sound like he's learned anything from anybody that is on the right.

Moreover. He has described himself as an ethnonationalist, and eco fascist, national socialist.

He loathes Libertarianism. And conservatism, in particular. Ask yourself, I'm quoting from him, truly. What has the modern conservative managed to conserve.

Not a thing has been conserved other than corporate profits and the ever increasing wealth of the 1 percent that exploit the people for their own benefit.

Does that sound at all like a Republican.

PAT: He sounds like a president of a Republican Party, doesn't he?

GLENN: He does. Conservatism is dead, thank God. Now let's bury it and move on to something of worth. The shooter admits, he's a socialist, depending on the definition.

Now, listen to this. He wrote, worker ownership of the means of production, well, it depends on those -- who those workers are. Their intentions. Who currently owns the mean of production. Their intentions. And who currently owns the state and their intentions. So, in other words, if the workers are black, no. They shouldn't own that. If the government is black, no. They shouldn't be into owning all of the means of production. But if it's a white nationalist government, I'm all in. Does that sound like somebody, that likes the Constitution?

The diatribe implies those workers better be white Gentiles who worship mother earth. Now, here is where he really starts to bring in his environmentalism, which is so incredibly conservative.

Green nationalism is the only true nationalism, he writes. There is no conservatism, without nature. There is no nationalism, without environmentalism.

The natural environment of our land shaped us, just as we shaped it. We are born from our lands and our own culture was molded by those same lands.

The protection and preservation of these lands, is the same important as the protection and preservation of our own ideals and beliefs.

For too long, we have allowed the left, to co-opt the environmentalist movement and serve their own needs. By the way, you're now starting to get to who he really is.

And it is something that I think this will be the only large conservative audience that has even heard about what I'm about to show you. The left has controlled all discussion regarding environmental preservation, while simultaneously presiding over the continued destruction of the natural environment itself through mass immigration and uncontrolled urbanization.

While offering no true solution to either issue. There is no green future, with never-ending population growth. Malthusian. The ideal green world cannot exist in the world of 100 billion, 50 billion, or even 10 billion people. Continued immigration, into Europe, is environmental warfare. And ultimately destructive to nature itself. So the guy is Malthusian. The guy is one of these old-style conservations that say the only way too conserve is to kill people.

Europe, of the future, is not one of concrete and steel. Smog and wires. But a place of forest, lakes, mountains, and meadows. You've got to depopulate. Not a place where English is the de facto language. But a place where every single language, belief, and tradition, is valued. Let me say this again. Does anybody recognize this yet?

Not a place where English is the de facto language. But a place where every single language, belief, and tradition, is valued.

Each nation and each ethnicity is molded by their own environment. And if they are to be protected, so must their environments.

There is no traditionalism, without environmentalism. This guy is a capital T, traditionalist. Which I have told you comes from Russia. Who has educated this guy?

Most likely, Aleksandr Dugin, or one of his kind. The fascination with fascism and the environment. And white supremacy. And anti-Semitism.

This is Germany. This is Germany. But he takes also the view that people are less important than the planet.

And he said that he was killing blacks. Quote, because Jews ask be dealt with in time. But the high fertility placers will destroy us now. End quote.

This guy is sick, twisted. Clearly a Nazi. Says he's a socialist, and a fascist. That is not a Republican. And you are doing grave damage and you are doing -- you are causing the problem to get worse. By ignoring the true problem, and blaming it on Republicans. He was not radicalized by watching Fox News. He was not listening to Ben Shapiro on his way to work, or anybody like me.

He was most likely a fan of Aleksandr Dugin. And a fan of the Green New Deal.

What do you say we stop trying to be armchair warriors, and -- and armchair coaches, and say, you know what, why don't we actually look at how the game was played, and what the player said he was trying to do.

Let's look at who in guy said he was. Instead of inventing something brand-new. But that's not really possible.

Did you see the article in rolling stone yesterday? The editorial written by Talia Lavin? Now, she's written several articles. But the media is not connecting the dots. Obviously, they are endorsing her.

I don't know how she got an article into rolling stone. The headline yesterday. Buffalo shooter is not a lone wolf.

He's a mainstream Republican. The right-wing extremist who control the modern GOP are gripped by racist delusions. The shooter is just the latest to act on it. Okay.

So how can she go into this? I'm not even going to give you the article.

This is the only article that she's ever written for rolling stone. So who is she?

Well, she's a, quote, unquote, journalist. Okay? Air quotes. Journalist.

And I don't mean journalist, even in the new sense of journalist. You know, where it means activist. Not actually journalist. She's much worse than that.

Listen to her record. She has a book out. The culture warlords, my journey into the dark web of white supremacy.

She was also fired from her job at the New Yorker, as, get this, a fact-checker. Because she called an ICE immigration and customs enforcement, the group, neo-Nazis.

She said, there was one ICE person that had a neo-Nazi tattoo, she says. This is a fact-checker. In the emblem of the Nazis. No, it actually wasn't. It was a tattoo of the guy's platoon. Because he was a Marine and wounded in action. Which she, of course, blamed ICE. She said they targeted her -- you know, just for being, in her words, a fat Jewish feminist, with a Harvard education.

No. Actually, you were fired from your job. Because the New Yorker hired you as a fact-checker. You got all of the facts wrong. She even lost her professor gig at NYU. NYU canceled her class.

She also is a big defender of George Soros. An article in the Washington Post. Conspiracy theories about Soros are false. They are anti-Semitic. She's a huge defender of George Soros.

I wonder -- oh, I actually don't. I just saw on her resume, she worked for Media Matters. Oh, okay.

So here are some of the headlines, that she's written in the past. The far right continues to spread the conspiracy theory, that inspired the sin outgoing shooter. YouTube banned Alex Jones. But it's letting white supremacist content thrive. So YouTube is very, very right-wing, and pro white supremacy. Backlash to professor's anti-Kavanaugh tweet illustrates the content pipeline from 4chan to the Tucker Carlson Show.

How the Russian concept of info noise can help American outlets cover Trump. How YouTube facilitates right-wing radicalization.

In drawing equivalences between white supremacists and Antifa, media outlets obscure ideologies and impacts. She thinks Antifa is -- that they're all heroes.

A list of right-wing amplifiers of QAnon conspiracy theory. The list includes menaces to society, as James Woods, Roseanne Barr, and Curt Schilling.

That's who wrote this article. She cannot hold a job. She's been fired from left-wing massive radical organizations. And rolling stone puts an editorial out. Gee. I wonder why.

And most likely, it will be the last editorial, she writes for -- I mean, if she's going to keep her record going. This will be the last one she writes. And then she'll find some other organization, that will play cover for her, as an actual journalist.

This is what you're up against.

This is why you have to pay attention. Because this poison, is being pushed out into the mainstream, by corporate media. Every single day. You have to know who it is, and how to allergy or tell your friends -- no. This isn't who this person is. Disregard it. Back in a minute.

And it's amazing to me, it's not -- it's not the right-wing sources, that are saying, hey, we should fire her. It's the left.

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.
