Don’t Believe The Media's Lies: 5 Reasons Why Kamala Harris Is A RADICAL Leftist

The media is in full-gaslight mode now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the presumed Democratic presidential nominee. But Glenn warns: don’t fall for their lies! Glenn goes back into the archives to remind America of who Kamala Harris really is: a radical leftist, and likely one of the most progressive politicians in Washington, DC. She has supported “reimagining” ICE and banning fracking. She insisted that “undocumented immigrants” aren’t breaking the law. She spread the lie that Florida is banning books and has a “don’t say gay” policy. Harris isn’t just some “DEI hire.” She is a radical leftist that the Party snuck in under Biden.

GLENN: I want to show you, in her own words, why I think Kamala Harris is a -- is an absolute extremist, and extraordinarily dangerous.

And people are not going to be talking about these things on the left, and the media won't show it to you.

So I ask you to grab today's podcast, and earmark it. So if you ever need to share this with your friends, you know where this is. Here is a flashback with Kamala Harris, where she's speaking at the Islamic center of Southern California. Listen to this.

KAMALA: Have the courage, to object, when they use that term "radical Islamic terrorism."
(applauding)
The greatest victims of terror!
(applauding)
Have we not? Also, have the courage to reject that term illegal alien.
(applauding)

GLENN: Okay. So she's telling this group of Muslims in this mosque, that they have to stand and up end the use of the words radical Islamic terrorism. Well, okay.

So then what -- what kind of terrorism is it, then?

If we don't have radical Islamic terrorism.

If it's just terrorism, how do you fight that?

Because is that the -- the same terrorism that you've classified as moms speaking out at school board meetings?

Because you've said that is terrorism.

Do we fight that terrorism, the same way we fight what you don't want to address as radical Islamic terrorism. She also says, you know, there's no such thing as an illegal alien.

Okay. Well, then, how do we -- then who are they?

Are they just soon to be citizens?

Are they refugees? Are they just poor, tired refugees, that are living off the American taxpayer, by staying in four and five-star hotels. And being fed free food, until they get back on their feet? Which, by the way, if that's what America decided to do, all right. That's what you decided to do.

But that's not. That's not. Most Americans are not for that. But the state has just decided, they're going to do it. So we all just go along, I guess.

But is -- is that -- is that how you just identify them now?

How do you know? Words have real meaning and real power. They're important. It's why we don't say, police are looking for a man.

What? Well, what did he do? Police are looking for a man. Who shot President Trump.

Okay. All right. That doesn't help me much. Can you tell me about the man?

No. I can't. Why not?

It would be politically incorrect. Well, then, what are we looking for?

We're looking for a white man in his 20s. He's about five-eight. He's skinny.

And he was last seen here. Words have power, and are important. You cannot continue to cancel word.

Now, here she is again, in another speech, on documented workers, not criminals.

Here you go.

KAMALA: An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal. And we have to correct course in this conversation.
(applauding)

GLENN: Because Barack knows we have to change our conversation. (foreign language).
(laughter)

GLENN: Yes, we can. With that really uncomfortable laugh. Now, another flashback. How does she feel about ICE?

Here's what she said in a 2018 interview with MSNBC.

VOICE: A lot of the signs at the rally that you just held were people standing there saying, abolish ICE.

KAMALA: Yeah.

VOICE: Is that a position that you agree with?

KAMALA: Listen, I think there's no question that we've got to critically reexamine ICE and its role and the way that it's being administered and the work that it's doing. And we need to probably think about doing it from scratch.

GLENN: So we'll reimagine ICE. We'll get back to reimagining the police here in a second.

She also wants to ban fracking. Now, this is something that they're going to deny that she ever said or was ever for. Or she changed her mind.

But I would like to know how you can be this committed on fracking. And then what changed your mind? Because this is a big one that goes with the Green New Deal, which she was the first sponsor on. She led the way for the Green New Deal.

So where does she stand on fracking? Cut four.

KAMALA: There's no question, I'm in favor of banning fracking. Yeah. And starting -- and starting with what we can do on day one on public lands. Right?

And then there has to be legislation. But, yes, and this is something I've taken on in California. I have a history of working on this issue. And to your point, you know, we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact. The fracking is enormous in terms of the impact and health and safety of the communities.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, she's also been one that pushes the book ban in Florida. In saying that Ron DeSantis was, don't say gay. Which was a lie.

Here she is on that.

KAMALA: When I look at the fact in our country, we're looking at somewhere around 600 bills, where controls are being passed. Anti-LGBTQIA. Book bans. And a policy and approach that is Don't Say Gay. People in fear of their life. People afraid to be. To be.

These are fundamental --

GLENN: So if you get your news from the left, and you're hearing her say that. And you don't hear the correction, I can understand why you might be afraid.

But when somebody is using lies to create fear, in you. That's a problem.

Especially when they are known to be lies. Here's another one.

She supports cutting police budgets.

VOICE: For overhauling, where do you stand on defund the police?

PAT: Right. So here's the thing. Defund the police, the -- the issue behind it, is that we need to reimagine, how we are creating safety.

And when you have many cities that have one-third of their entire city budget, focused on policing. We know that is not the smart way and the best way or the right way to achieve safety.

For too long, the status quo thinking has been, you get more safety by putting more cops on the street.

Well, that's wrong. Because, by the way --

GLENN: Okay. Stop.

She has proven that what they said is wrong. And that also goes into, when have we heard that?

Reimagining the police. It came from her. She was one of the big proponents of reimagining the police. Do you like the effects of reimagining the police?

She also went on to say, we will skip this one. But cut the police budget. She was supportive of that.

Remember, the media would later tell you, that it was the Republicans that were for the police cuts.

And then she went on to say that it's outdated to believe that more police, equals safety.

Now, when you are -- when you are causing people to have fear. Ask you're saying, look, I've got the plan.

People start to depend on you. Instead of their own thinking. And their own mind.

And everything else.

And they begin to look at Uncle Sam as a good uncle. No. That uncle should be in prison.

That uncle was abusive to you. Okay?

But listen to how she's treated here on the Drew Barrymore program, with Drew Barrymore.

Listen to this.

VOICE: I keep thinking in my head, that we all need a mom. I've been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug, in the world right now.

KAMALA: Yeah.

VOICE: But in our country, we need you to be Mamala of the country.

GLENN: Oh, isn't that great?

I don't want another mother. I had another mother. I don't need another mother.

That's not what the presidency does. That's not what the vice presidency does. They are not your parent.

And if they are a good parent, they treat you like a 19-year-old. You're out of the house, no longer in my care.

Stand on your 2 feet. But that's not what the left wants.

There is so much to go over, with her. It's almost overwhelming.

And we will continue this.

But we want you to make and save bookmarks, so you know where you can get this information.

Because a lot of this information is going to be lost.

We'll post this information, at GlennBeck.com.

And we'll post all of the to hers, the true stories that are now being deleted.

And know that, they are going to discredit our voices, more and more.

They have to. They're all in lockstep again.

They weren't, just a couple of weeks ago.

They all -- well, I guess they were. They were all in lockstep of telling the truth about Joe Biden. And now they're right back to their lies. So we will make sure that you have access to the truth, so you can show your friends. And not access to stories, just, you know, from us, or whatever. But from the New York Times. And the Washington Post. Because they all said these things.

Whatever hasn't been erased, we will find and make sure that you have access to it.

Because she's a very -- she will be the most liberal person to ever be president of the United States or even a candidate.

She is a socialist. She is at least stated, much further than Barack Obama.

Much further. At least stated. She's coming in, as this radical.

And the press will obscure that. And make anybody who says, any differently. Into conspiracy theorists.

But we're not.

Know that you've been lied to over and over and over and over again from these same people.

And share the truth.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Epstein's "Blackmail Videos" Being Used for Leverage RIGHT NOW?

What was Jeffrey Epstein's operation all about. If he was at the center of a massive blackmail operation to compromise those in positions of power, who is in possession of that information now?

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.
