How leftists will DESTROY ‘Democracy’ to ‘protect’ it against Trump

“The fix is in. To ‘protect democracy,’ democracy is already being canceled," journalist Matt Taibbi writes. Glenn reads from Taibbi's piece in Racket News, which reviews how the anti-Trump crowd is using public-private partnerships and lawfare to try and keep former president Donald Trump out of the White House. While these groups are fear mongering that Donald Trump will give himself emergency powers and clear the government and military of all dissenters, Glenn points out that this is exactly what the Biden administration is already trying to do. And what's coming in the next year may be even worse: "These people have no intention of following the people’s will.”

GLENN: All right. So let me -- let me give you some of this from Matt Taibbi.

It is well worth the read. We will try to tweet it out here, the next few minutes from me, at Glenn Beck. But also, it is in my morning newsletter. Every day, I give you just the stories that I'm looking at.

They're the stories that has taken us 21 hours to compile. It's all of the news we think that you need to know.

All of the stories that I need to know, to be able to do this show, and be able to piece things together.

If you think that we are right about anything, we're on the right track. This is a must-read.

And it's absolutely free, at GlennBeck.com.
So the fix is in, Matt Taibbi writes.

To protect democracy. Democracy is already being cancelled. We just haven't admitted the implications of this to ourselves yet.

On Sunday, January 14th, NBC News ran an eye-catching story. Fears grow that Trump will use the military and dictatorial ways if he returns to the White House.

It describes a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers. You hear that?

A loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers. So a public/private partnership. That is quietly making plans to foil any efforts to expand presidential power on the part of Donald Trump.

Now, they're not doing this, with this president.

This president, please, play cut two. Yesterday, that was talking about the border.

And listen to what he said. Cut two.

Okay.

VOICE: Executive authority. Figured out all I can do.

Just give me the power. I asked for the very day I went in office. Give me the borders. Before.

Give me the judges. Give me the people that can top this. And make it worth --

GLENN: Stop. Stop.

Give me -- give me the power, boy. Give me the power? You already have the power of the Border Patrol, within limits. Law. You already -- it's your administration.

Give me the power over the judges. No. That's not the way our constitutional republic works.

Give me the power of the people that can make this happen. You have all the power you need.

He's asking for emergency powers. No.

No. I am fine with making sure that presidential power doesn't happen for Donald Trump or Donald Duck, or -- or Joe Biden.

I don't care who the president is. The administrative state has too much power right now.

Why aren't they worried about the expansion of presidential power under Biden, just Trump.

Anyway, the peace quotes an array of former high-ranking officials all insisting Donald Trump will misuse the Department of Defense to execute civilian political aims. Since Joe Biden's team leaked a strategy memo in late December, listing Trump as an existential threat to democracy. As campaign 2024 talking point, have worked overtime to exert this existential or democracy in quotes, everywhere.

This was no different. We're thirty seconds away from Armageddon clock, when it comes to democracy, says Bill Clinton, Secretary of Defense.

Adding that Trump is a clear and present danger to our democracy. Word, no matter what, you know, leftists will tell you, words have meaning.

Words have consequences. When you talk about Armageddon. That he is a clear and present danger. When something is a clear and present danger, that gives the president and others leeway to do what they have to do. To remove a danger, that is clear and present.

Skye Perryman of Democracy Forward, one of the advocacy groups organizing the loose coalition between the government and private organizations. Believe this is an existential moment for American democracy. Declared former CIA and Defense Chief Leon Panetta.

Like any good dictator, he is going to try to use the military to basically perform his will.

Show me -- show me that even threat. I mean, he's -- he -- he -- correct me if I'm wrong, didn't send people to Portland, when he should have.

Didn't do it. Former acting assistant attorney general for national security, at the US Department of Justice and currently visiting Georgetown Law professor, Mary McCord, said we're already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that Trump might do. So we're ready to bring lawsuits, if we have to.

These people have no intention of following the people's will.

You're too stupid. They know.

They will take all of the power that they have.

And they will stop him.

The group was formed by at least two organizations, that have been hyperactive in filing lawsuits against Trump. And Trump-related figures over the years.

Aforementioned democracy forward.

Chaired by a former Perkins Coy and Hillary campaign attorney, Mark Alias. Now, why do we know those names? I mean, Hillary Clinton.

But Perkins Coie, Marc Elias.

Why? They were the ones behind the British spy memo that talked about, oh. There's a pee tape in Washington.

STU: The Christopher Steele manifesto.

GLENN: Yes. Correct. And then Protect Democracy, a ubiquitous non-profit run by former Obama administration lawyers, funded at least in part by Linked In magnet Reid Hoffmann.

So you have the who is who here. The article implied a future Trump presidency will necessitate new form of external control over the military.

The Trump -- listen to what they're saying. The Trump presidency will necessitate new forms of external control over the military.

What does that mean?

Kinetic Senator Richard Blumenthal has a bill to clarify the Insurrection Act, a 1792 law that empowers the president to deploy the military, to quell domestic rebellion.

So would it be like he could take over, and then anybody in the military, that disagreed with him, he would get rid of them. So he could have control over the military?

I mean, exactly what Joe Biden did?

Exactly what Joe Biden did. Through COVID, and January 6th. Do you remember?

Never heard this phrase ever before. The military is on a complete global standdown, until we root out the domestic -- it they say terrorist? Or those who are deeply MAGA. I've never heard of that before.

Wait a minute. So you're getting rid of the people that agree with Trump. You're getting rid of the people that you claim was for January 6th. I don't know a soul that was for January 6th. Not a soul. On January 6th, we all watched in horror.

Now, today, we're all watching in horror. Half of us are watching in horror. As this whole thing is come apart.

And it is a government operation. Or at least great parts of it, were a government operation.

So, they want to make sure, that Congress and the courts ratify presidential decisions to deploy the military at home.

Here's an idea.

Why don't we have Congress speak up whenever the military is deployed.

See, that's the way the Constitution works.

If the military needs to be deployed. Overseas, or here. The president can do it, but for a very short period of time before Congress has to say, yes or no.

NBC quotes from former high-ranking defense and intelligence officials about possible preemptive mutiny, were interesting on their own.

Did you hear this quote?

Are you hearing what is being said?

However, the really striking twist, was what we read in the story before.

For over a year, the Biden administration and its surrogates have dropped hint after hint after hint, the plan for winning in 2024 against Donald Trump or someone else, might involve something other than voting.

Lawsuits, in several multiple states have been filed to remove Trump from the ballot. Primaries have been cancelled or invalidated. An ominous Washington Post editorial by Robert Kagan, husband to senior state official, Victoria Nuland, read like an APB to assassins to head off inevitable Trump dictatorship.

And on January 11th of this year, leaders of a third party called No Labels, sent an amazing letter to the Department of Justice complaining of a conspiracy to stop voting. These are the no labels people. Okay?

These are the people like Joe Biden who is like -- not Joe Biden.

Joe Lieberman, like can't we just all get along? Yeah, we can, Joe.

But, you know, the no label thing is not really catching fire here.

There are some things that are problems. Okay.

So what happened?

This letter was sent, authored by former NWACP director, Ben Chavez. Former kinetic and senator Joe Lieberman. Former Director of National Intelligence.

Former North Carolina governor, and former assistant attorney general and Iran Contra Special Counsel Dan Webb.

The no -- the No Labels letter describes a meeting of multiple advocacy groups, aligned with the Democratic Party.

In the 80-minute confab, audio of which was obtained was a dire warning issued to anyone considering a third party run.

Tell me this is not a threat. Through every channel we have, to their donors, their friends, their press. Everyone. Everyone.

We should send a message. If you have one fingernail clipping of a skeleton in your closet, we will find it.

If you think you were vetted when you ran for governor, you're insane. That was nothing. Practice have we are going to come at you with every gun we can possibly find.

We did not find that to Jill Stein or Gary Johnson. We should have.

And we will not make that mistake again. End quote.

Exposing the dangerous roots of queer theory

In this explosive conversation, Glenn Beck and Liz Wheeler expose the disturbing roots of gender ideology and queer theory — and how these radical ideas are directly targeting children. From the shocking origins of queer theory, where pedophilia and child pornography were openly defended, to Planned Parenthood’s new role as one of the largest distributors of transgender hormone therapy, the truth is undeniable: this movement is not about freedom or equality, but about dismantling families, corrupting innocence, and profiting off of our children’s pain. What we are witnessing is nothing less than a satanic ideology dressed up as compassion — and it’s spreading like wildfire through schools, culture, and medicine. Parents, you need to hear this. The time to protect your children and fight back is NOW.

Here’s how INTENSE JFK’s Presidential Fitness Test was

President Trump recently signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test and the media is in a frenzy. But Glenn and Stu look back at the history of these tests, including JFK’s version of the Test that seems IMPOSSIBLE for modern Americans. But Glenn has a secret reason for why he’s confident in his pull-up abilities…

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: What is the -- what is the new physical -- the president's physical fitness, you know, plan?

STU: Well, the thing that RFK Jr and Hegseth were rolling out the other day. I don't know if it was the full test or anything, but they were issuing a challenge to America, to be able to do 100 pushups and 50 pullups within five minutes.

GLENN: That's crazy.

STU: Thank you! That struck you as also crazy.

I don't think there's ever been a time in my life, that I could do that. Let alone now with shoulder problems. And much too much weight.

GLENN: All right. But that was before I needed this walker.

STU: I don't think there was a time in my 20s or my teens, that I could do that. But that -- in five minutes? Fifty pullups?
GLENN: Both of them in 5 minutes.
STU: Yeah, both of them. So it's not like 100 pushups in five minutes. It's both tasks within five minutes.

GLENN: No. No. That's not true.

STU: RFK Jr. is just doing it in jeans.

GLENN: Yeah, well, RFK, he's -- he's a weirdo. I mean, he is. Come on. When it comes to fitness, he's a weirdo.
STU: Yes.
GLENN: I mean, he's done this his whole life. He's like 800 years old. He can still do it.

STU: Yes. Depressive, I will say.

GLENN: I don't know. He's a sex machine.

STU: Oh. That's been a problem for him. Yes, that's been an issue in his life. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. Go ahead.

STU: Separate from the president's physical fitness test.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But, I mean, they don't, they don't really think we're going to do that, right?
Like, I mean, how long would that take you to do?

STU: I think for me, it would take a good month. I think a month, I could probably get two pullups a day. That would get me around, a little over 50. So I could do that. Plus, the pushups. A solid month, I could get that done.

GLENN: You could do more than two a day. You could do more than two a day.

STU: You know, Glenn, I've got to say. I think -- I will throw a number out there. No science behind this, so just as a guestimate.

I would say 40 percent of the population can't do any pullups. Maybe 30 percent. Thirty percent of the population can do exactly zero pullups. Precisely zero, so an infinite amount of time would be a correct answer for a third of the population.

GLENN: I think you're -- I think you're being -- I think you're being a little too optimistic. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. Maybe 60 percent.

STU: Right! Pushups are one thing. I mean, I think almost anyone can do a pushup. One --

GLENN: You can do a pushup. Yes. Yes.

STU: Singular pushup. And if you can do one, you can wait long enough, to do a second one.
And at some point, the hundred gets done. That's not the case with pullups. Pullups, you can sit there and think about how much you want to do a pullup for a really long time. But that doesn't make a pullup happen. If you've got a certain amount of weight on you. You're not doing a pullup. It's not occurring.

GLENN: I have no idea, how many pullups I can do.

STU: I have an exact number of pullups, you can do.

GLENN: Do you? You think so?

STU: Yeah. Yeah. I have the exact number. I have to calculate -- AI has been running a report on me. It came up with zero.

GLENN: Right. Right. Really?
I can do. I mean, this is so pathetic. Listen to this. I bet I could do three. You know, you could do three.

STU: In a row? Proper form.

GLENN: What do you mean in a row?

STU: I mean, holding on to the bar, without letting go, you're doing three. There's no way. I don't think so.

GLENN: I think I could do. Well, with proper form, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

STU: I'm not saying it has to look pretty. You have to get your chin up above the bar. It can't be one of those things, where you're a quarter of the way up there.

GLENN: So I can do one and rest for ten minutes. I could do another one.

I think I can do that.

STU: If you -- I'm not saying, you jump up, and you pull yourself up as you're pulling up. Full hang --

GLENN: See, you may not know this.

But you know what, I've done the DNA test. Have you ever done the DNA test that tells you all about your genes and everything else? Mine came back with something remarkable, and I have to share. You might feel bad, next.

STU: Coming up next, Glenn attempts live pullups on the air. Stay tuned!
(OUT AT 8:29 AM)

GLENN: You know no idea what who you're dealing with. No. You don't have any idea who you're dealing with here.

I got my DNA test back like 10 years ago. And we all -- we all took it, because we were looking for things. And so we all took it. My DNA test came back, and everybody in the family, their test made total sense. Like, oh, yeah. That makes...

Then we read mine. We have to find -- I have to find. See if Tania has it still. We should have had it framed. I swear to you, they -- they mixed me up with somebody else.

Somebody else is like, wait a minute. I'm this pathetic? Mine came out and said, you have the muscular structure of a -- of a -- something like a -- an elite athlete. You have the abilities and agility and everything else of an elite athlete. And I'm like, there's not a chance. I don't have any of that!

I don't even know if I have muscles. I have to check once in a while, and go, do I have muscles still?

Doctor is like, I don't know. Can I? Ask just press against my hand on the leg. I don't know.

You know, I don't know how to do that exactly. So --

STU: You sure it said elite athlete and not elephant? I mean, if they misspelled it.

GLENN: It was.

I was having eye problems at the time.

STU: No!

GLENN: I mean, we read it. And I was like Tania, I believe that for Tania.

Maybe they switched me and Tania. Because Tania is really strong. She'll kick your butt.

She works out every day. All of that. Me? Never. Never.

And it kind of makes me wonder, when I get to the other side, and the Lord went, okay.

So what did you do with your life again?

Because I gave this incredible body, and you wasted it the whole time.

And I'm like, you should have been more clear, okay?

You should have been more clear. I -- maybe I could have played basketball. But I tried once. And it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was like sixth grade. And I'll never live -- I don't even want to think about my time on a basketball court. Okay? So don't -- don't start with me. You should have made it a little clearer. When I first started to do stuff. And I think that's fair. I think that's a fair argument. In my defense. In my defense, Your Honor, God, you should have made it a little more clear.

STU: Yeah. I mean, if they really wanted us to do this, then the 11th Commandment is 50 pushups, and -- or, 50 pullups and 100 pushups, right?

Like, put it in a commandment if you really want us to do it. You have to be more specific, we're Americans.

GLENN: Okay. So let me give you the top of the list for the JFK Presidential Fitness Test. Okay? This is what you had to do in high school. In high school.

Thirty-four pullups. Bar dips: Fifty-two. What's -- because I believe I did that. A long time. And I don't recommend it.

STU: It's not a barhop.

GLENN: Oh, it's -- oh, bar dips. Okay. Okay. All right.

Bar dips: 52. Handstand pushups: Fifty. What are handstands?

STU: Oh, my God. Handstands.

GLENN: I can't even stand on my hands. Is that I'm doing a handstand and a push up? Because that's not happening. You're not human.

STU: Yeah. You're balancing yourself on your hands. Your feet are above your hands on the wall. Like a wall. And you're doing --

GLENN: Oh, so you're balancing yourself. That makes it a little easier. Still impossible.

But a little easier.

GLENN: Impossible. You could do precisely zero of those.

Aright. So you had to do 50 handstand pushups.

Or one arm -- 30 -- no, sir.

Twenty-six one-arm burpees in 30 seconds. Is that a one-armed push up?

STU: No. Well, you're bracing your yourself like you're about to begin a pushup in a burpee with only one arm, which that's not that difficult.

But then you're doing. Then you're like, you move your feet towards your hands. And then you jump up in the air basically. And then you do it repeatedly.

GLENN: No, no, no. That's ridiculous. No.

STU: There's a law of gravity. You're not supposed to violate it. If it was a recommendation of gravity, then maybe jumping would be appropriate. But it's not. Follow the law.

GLENN: In 48 seconds, you had to do a 3300-yard shuttle. Now, I've been to the airport. I think I've done a 3300-yard shuttle, but it depends on who is driving. You know.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Rope climb. Try this. Rope climb. Twenty feet, hands only! Sit start.

STU: That's what I remember from the president's physical fitness test. And I remember looking at that rope, like, no chance I could get up that thing.

GLENN: I remember looking up at that thing. Humiliation. Humiliation is coming my way. I'll never kiss a girl, because that ain't happening. I'll get maybe 10 feet up. Maybe. Maybe.

STU: And you were right for 24 years from that time, approximately.

GLENN: Agility run, 17 seconds. Extension pressups, what? What?

I'm sorry. Why am I so tired reading this?

Extension pressups. What's an extension pressup, 8-inch? You had to do 100 of them.

STU: Let's see. Exercise. An exercise for low-back pain involving lying on your stomach and pressing your upper body up with your arms while keeping your hips relaxed and down on the mat.

GLENN: Oh, I could do that know. 8 inches.

STU: The last part of it, relaxing down on the mat.
GLENN: That's what my doctor says I should be doing. What?

STU: I can do relaxed and down on the mat. That part of it --

GLENN: Yeah. I could do that -- I'm the only guy. I took yoga for a while, like three weeks. My wife is like, yoga. You could do yoga. Let's just do yoga together.

I did. And the yoga instructor said to me. Because we were doing a plank.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And she came and all I remember her waking me up. And saying, I think you're the only person I've ever -- ever taught that fell asleep in yoga. And I'm like, it's just so relaxing. Just let me sleep. Let me sleep.

STU: That's interesting, that you did yoga. Is there any footage of that? Any video that we could post? That would be good for --

GLENN: No. There's not. You had to do pegboard. Five trips of pegboard. And I think that's when you have the two pegs.

STU: Yes, it was a board.

GLENN: You have to take it out, and put it up, right?

STU: This is American Ninja Warrior. No way.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

STU: This is amazing.

GLENN: Try this one: You had to do a 45-second handstand. I've never been able to do a handstand. Never!

STU: Never.

GLENN: And I'm an elite athlete. I'm an elite athlete. Try this one: A man carry, 5 miles.

STU: What? What do you mean a --

GLENN: Five-mile man carry.

STU: Is a man carry as obvious as it --

GLENN: I think it is.

STU: You're carrying --

GLENN: If I'm going to carry that man, you have to carry me that man for five miles.

I'm not sure, I can't carry any man for any miles. I mean, if I am -- if I am a firefighter, count on burning in the house. You're going to burn in the house. Because I can't carry you out. I can get in there and go, yeah, I will have to leave you.
I will have to leave you here. I can't help you, sorry.

It's also getting really hot in here. I have to go. You had to do a five-mile jog. An obstacle course.

You had to swim prone for a mile. You had to swim underwater for 50 yards, any strokes, two minutes. Deep waterfront, hang float, with arms. What? What is a deep water hang float with arms. Wait. Wait.

It's a deep waterfront hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes.

What kind of al-Qaeda PE class was this?

STU: Who has access to -- who has access -- like, you're in the middle of the country, you may not have a deep water body nearby. This is -- are you sure this is an actual test?

GLENN: This is the actual test. This is the actual -- what is a deep water front hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes? Can you look that up?

STU: A deep water hang float is an aquatic hang float done in the deep end of a pool with the aid of flotation device, such as a noodle or belt.

In this position, the flotation twice supports your upper body, while your legs and torso hang freely beneath you.

That can't be what it is.

GLENN: You can do that.

Deep-end of the pool.

STU: Can you bring a margarita?

GLENN: Man, this test is no big deal.

What! No way. No way!

Here's the last thing on the test.

A vertical tread in an 8-foot circle for two hours!

No way.

STU: Vertical tread in an 8-foot circle?

GLENN: So you're in the water and you're treading water in a circle for two hours. Two!

STU: This is not -- what?

This is not the test.

GLENN: It is. Now, I told you, this is the top of the test.

This is the top of the test.

So this is for the ones who could do all the other tests.

This was the top of the test. The bottom of the test is not that much better. Here's the entry, okay? Let's see. Pullups, 2/6/10. I don't know what that means. Pushups, 16, 24, 32. Bar dips, four, eight, and 12. Situps, 30, 45, and 60. Broad jump, 6-foot, 6, 6, 6. And 6, 9.

To jump 6 feet? I don't even know if --

STU: That one is possible, yes. Glenn, I know it sounds incredible. But, yes. That one is possible.

GLENN: Sounds incredible. You know, I think we should have the average person Olympics. I really do. I really do.

STU: Oh, I would watch that.

GLENN: I would watch that every time.

You see them coming. And you're like, hmm. That one -- three feet. I'm giving him 3 feet. 200-yard shuttle. Agility run. Rope climb, 18 feet, hands only. 880 yards in three minutes. A mile in seven minutes. Pegboard, six holes. A 50-yard swim. Forty -- 40, 50-yard swim in 36 seconds. Man carry, 880 yards. No, thank you! No, thank you!

Look at -- look at what we've gone down. That's the bottom of it. And I don't think most Americans could do that.

I couldn't. Well, I could. Because I'm an elite -- I have the body of an elite athlete.

STU: No. You could not. Now, of course -- let's just say, this is supposed to be for a high school kid. Right?

So this is the prime of your athletic life. Could you do some of these things? Probably.
GLENN: Go into high school.
Go into any high school, and ask them to do this. There's no way. And all of the kids would be.

STU: Well, that's kind of what the reaction would be.

GLENN: Don't get me wrong. I would have been there too. And my parents would have said, suck it up. Just do it.

So nothing has really changed.

STU: That's been the reaction to this proposal too, of bringing this back. Right? The media is covering this. Like, it's going to embarrass children.

You know, I mean, I do remember it being like, I can't do that. I'm not going to the top of that rope. That's not happening.

That's sort of life. Right? Sometimes you can do things. Sometimes you can't do other things.

GLENN: That's why you have to learn how to injure yourself.

You know, how many stairs can I throw myself down, to not do serious damage, but enough to get me out of PE.

STU: Yeah, you have to fake an why are. You have to learn from LeBron James. Act like you got hit in the eye. And fall down like you were just stabbed over and over again, like you were in an athletic competition.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

THIS is why self-reliance may be your ONLY protection from SLAVERY

Are you truly free, or is your life quietly controlled by systems most Americans never question? In this eye-opening conversation, Glenn Beck speaks with investigative journalist Whitney Webb about how the Elites, banks, and global systems have created modern forms of enslavement, all while the public remains largely unaware. They discuss the urgent need for local self-reliance, alternative financial systems, and taking personal responsibility to protect yourself and your family. This is a wake-up call for anyone who believes freedom is guaranteed, and it’s time to see the truth and act before it’s too late.

Claire's warning: The dark side of gender care EXPOSED

Claire Abernathy was just 14-years-old when doctors told her parents she’d take her own life without hormones and surgery. They promised “gender care” would save her life. Instead, it left Claire with irreversible scars, broken trust, and a lifetime of regret. Her mom was told she was required to comply. No one ever addressed the bullying, or trauma Claire endured before being rushed into medical transition. Now, years later, both Claire and her mother are speaking out and exposing how families are misled, how doctors hide risks, and how children are left to pay the price. With federal investigations now underway, their story is a warning every parent needs to hear.
