WATCH: Pro-Palestine Protesters TAKE OVER College Campuses

Pro-Palestine protesters have taken over college campuses across America, from Columbia University in New York to The George Washington University in DC and Cal Poly Humboldt in California. Over the weekend, the protesters set up autonomous zones in solidarity with Gaza, held Islamic prayer sessions, and chanted about intifada. Glenn and Stu review some of the most insane clips. But one of the craziest ones is out of Canada, where protesters chanted "long live October 7th." And if that wasn't ignorant enough, Glenn also reviews a clip of a drag queen leading children in a chant of "free Palestine."

STU: Well, what a weekend it was. What a weekend it was.

The constant protests, I guess are the big story, over the weekend.

And it doesn't seem to be stopping.

Seems to be the only thing that Americans want to do these days. Is protest the right of Israel to exist.

That's apparently controversial now.

It's amazing to see this happen.

We're seeing university after university after university, step up. and decide that the hill they are going to die on is the hill that supports Hamas. This is apparently a popular position in this country. And an incredible moment that we're in right now.

Let's -- let's go to sot one, if we could, on our list. I'm not sure if are these available. Having a little bit of a technical issue. There we go. We're having an Islamic prayer being held.
(music)
I have this album.
(music)
Just bought it on vinyl. Now, these are the quietest of the protests around the country. Most of this really weren't like this. Outside of the White House Correspondents' Dinner. There was more protesting going on. This is...

Missing the visuals here. You have -- so bizarre.

VOICE: Wiped off the face of --

GLENN: So this is someone dressed as an Israeli soldier, and there's a bunch of blindfolded, shirtless people who get hit by blue powder and collapse, which is making a good point.

GLENN: No. I think this is -- this is the really killing the white man. Which is supposed to be the Palestinian. But they're white men. Most of them. Which I think just makes it even more confusing for anybody who was -- who was watching.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: You know, I have to go back to the Islamic prayer. I mean, I don't know about you. I miss it times. Could you play the -- could you go back and play the Islamic prayer for me, please?

If you happen to be watching TheBlaze, I just want to describe the Islamic prayer here.

Everybody is on a prayer rug there at Columbia University.

It's a beautiful, beautiful scene.

And -- yes.

And this guy is very, very popular in the upper east side.

So you have people, you know, on a prayer run. We had to go to the Supreme Court to get the coach to be able to pray by himself on the field, after a football game.

But this is totally cool. And the next thing is, they're including women in the call to prayer. Which is very popular, in the Middle East.

They love it, when a woman gets down and pray right looping side the men. It is -- it's wonderful. It's truly, truly wonderful.

Now, let's go to cut four. This is in Canada. This is in Vancouver. Right. Okay. Can we stop there for just a second.

Stu, can you just explain? The geography of Israel. I know there's the sea, on the west coast of Israel. What's on the east coast of Israel, or the easternmost, furthest east you could go?

STU: That would be a river, Glenn.

GLENN: That would be --

STU: Yeah. So what's interesting about this. That's how you know it's an aspirational call for unity. From the river to the sea. So that Palestine, will just take over everything from Israel. There will be no Jews left.

That's the call for unity. It's aspirational.

GLENN: Unity. Okay. It's an aspirational call for unity. That sounds very specific, that language. Like, that's what they're saying on college campuses.

STU: And Rashida Tlaib, right out of her mouth.

GLENN: Okay. Good.

So an aspirational call for unity. The only thing you could be unified on is get rid of all the Jews. Because that means there is no Israel.
So no two-state solution.

STU: Yeah, that was another slogan.

We don't want no two-state. We want everything. That was the chant that was coming down.

GLENN: Right. Well, but see, they make it clear.

They want everything. And we don't want no -- no one state. So they've got a double negative there.

Which means they want a two-state solution.

And they say, we want everything. And that must include a one state and a two-state solution.

So I think that is very, very clear. Now, can we go on and play what they were saying in Canada. It was cut four.

VOICE: We demand a free Palestine. From the river to the sea.

GLENN: Yeah.

VOICE: And we stand with the Palestinian resistance, and their heroic, and brave action on October 7th.

They said, long live October 7th.

And we say, today, long live October 7th!

VOICE: Long live October 7th.

STU: Oh, my God.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You know, I love it when the Nazis are like, long live the Holocaust. You know.

Hey, long those cool -- really cool showers and oven system that we came up with.

You know, that --

STU: Clunky slogan.

GLENN: It's a clunky slogan. But -- but a true slogan.

STU: But the equivalent of what they're saying. The equivalent of what they're saying on these college campuses. The ones that everybody in the media seem to be supporting.

Long live freaking October 7th. I mean, can you be any more -- I don't know, Glenn. Is this one still borderline? Is this one anti-Semitic, or are we not sure? Is this an aspirational call for unity? I can't quite tell.

GLENN: Well, we know it's brave. We know it's brave. Well, October 7th was a very brave day. It was brave and heroic what they did. Really.

STU: Really?

GLENN: Yeah. Do you think it takes courage to go molest, slaughter, and then burn babies? Sure. Sure, it takes courage to do that. You might get caught and then seen for the monster that you really are.

But in this case, no. They're celebrated. So it's brave and historic.

Now, in California. Cal Poly, cut five.

Does this have audio with it?

STU: We're seeing the video of this. Apparently, no sound to it.

Yet again, graffiti, inside the hallways here. Some words we maybe don't say on the radio.

To recap.

GLENN: Are they grown up words?

STU: They're grown up words. Big girl, big boy words.

This has been just people ruining the facilities, and it's very messy. And there's graffiti everywhere inside the building.

It's wonderful. This is another aspirational call.

GLENN: You remember, kill all the Jews. Kill all the Jews. It helps you remember all of that.

Now, beyond kill all the Jews. There's something new they're calling for. Cut 48, please.

This is in Germany, of all places. The big Palestinian uprising in Germany this weekend. And what are they calling for?

STU: It doesn't sound good. Never sounds good in German.

GLENN: No. That's not in German. That's in Arabic.

Whenever you get someone in German going, (foreign language). No matter what language it is, you know it's trouble. Don't worry, they were just calling for a caliphate. So they're not wanting to bring the Nazis back. They just want a caliphate.

STU: Aspirational.

GLENN: Yeah. Very inspirational. Now, if I could just get the drag queens and the caliphate people, you know. If I could just get them together, one stop shop, I think we would be set.

Here's cut 30.

VOICE: Today what we're going to do is we're going to shout, free Palestine. Can we do that?

VOICE: Free Palestine.

VOICE: Shout.

VOICE: Free Palestine.

GLENN: Oh.

VOICE: You know it, and you really want to show. You're a drag queen and you know it, shout.

VOICE: Free Palestine!

GLENN: See, this is the united message, we can get the kids involved too. Because we have a drag queen. And if you're a drag queen and you know it. Shout free Palestine.

So it's one place, we can get both of those things, where we can all come together.

STU: Hmm. Yeah.

That's an amazing clip. I think -- now, this is just me speculating, Glenn.

Because I'm not a travel agent.

I don't work for a tourism board.

But I do wonder how that particular event will go down, if held in Gaza. Would it be different? Because they are cheering on Palestine. Obviously, there's some affinity there. The drag queen story hour group, reading to, let's say, the Gazan children. How would that work out in Gaza itself?

GLENN: You know, it's funny you should ask that, Stu. You may not be a travel agent. Or work for some sort of tourism.

But you are a thinker. You are a thinker. This has thank you.

GLENN: And that's really what counts.
Here's the good news: They -- the protesters are going to love it! They're going to love it.

What happened in Iraq? Just this weekend? They made it illegal to be on the spectrum. The sexual spectrum at all. You're either a man or a woman. Men have sex with women. Women have sex with men.

Now, that's not all the time. Because, you know, there's a shortage of women over in the Middle East. Sometimes they have to get a little of them going on with the younger men, you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying?

But we don't talk about that. I didn't say any of that. I don't even know what you're talking about. Say, what?

But so they've outlawed now homosexuality, which is weird, because Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he said, at one point, I think it was at Columbia University, when asked about them gays. He said, we don't have any gay people in Iran.

And lo and behold, they're going to make that wish come true. So you have that going for you.

Also, by the way, they just killed their third -- where is this story? Their third TikToker. She was -- no. Seriously, she was -- no. She was -- she was -- well, she's dead. She's dead.

She was a very popular influencer, in Iran.

And she's a woman. And she was shown dancing.

But she wasn't just dancing. She was wearing jeans. And they were a little too tight.

Me personally, I don't -- I don't mind, you know, some sort of law, against jeans that are too tight on some people.

You know what I'm saying?

You know, you walk around Walmart, once in a while. And they're like, oh. Those don't work on you, honey.

But I don't want to see you execute it. But she was executed, because they were a little too tight. And too suggestive.

And she was laying in a bed. Well, she was reading her son a good night story.

But she was still in those jeans laying on a bed. So they had to execute her, over the weekend. So the crackdown continues.

And, hey, all you people on campus, with your little rug prayer thing. With the woman right next to you.

You know how popular that's going to be. And all you drag queens, oh. They love you.

They love you. In fact, I am going to set up a personal fund. If you're a drag queen. If you are a gay activist.

And you're out, because you love it. And you show it. Clap your hands!

I am going to go ahead, and having you airfare from wherever I live in the United States. To the Gaza Strip.

Okay? And bring your pamphlets. Bring your pamphlets. Bring your best wigs and your spikey high heels. Bays they are going to love you there.

And when you stop writing us, or calling us, we'll know exactly how much they love you.

Over there. So maybe we could send that as a message to all of your friends over here. What the hell is wrong with you?

STU: Glenn, you were running through those wonderful stories in the Middle East.

And you mentioned Iran and Ahmadinejad, and a bunch of stories that happened in Iraq. And you kind of went back and forth. I don't know if people followed that exactly.

Because it was Iran, who had said there was no gays, years and years ago in Columbia. And both of the stories banning homosexuality and the TikToker being executed, both happen in Iraq.

And what I found fascinating about that is, we should be able to tell the difference. Right?

We were supposedly helping out this country, so that it did not end up like Iran.

GLENN: Stop it. It's only a trillion dollars. It's only a trillion dollars.

You get what you pay for.

You want to go in half-assed like that. You get what you pair pay for.

Now, 2 trillion. 2 trillion.

That just is somebody who mildly hates gays.

No. No. But, yeah. We didn't do the job. So what we did. We empowered the head of the snake.

We made the head of the snake even more powerful.

The head of the snake, over in the Middle East. Is Iran.

And now it's -- now you have Iranian Shias all over in Iraq.

And so they're doing the thing that Shias love. And that's kill people, that disagree with them.

Wow, that's weird. Because wow, that's almost like the left here in America.

Oh, I see what they have in common. They just like silencing people. Throwing them in jail. Or killing them. If they disagree with them. Wow. Too bad we can't get them to agree on the same kind of people.

Or we should get the two of them together. Oh. Because they'll like each other.

A lot. No. No. No.

I think the left, when they get there, they will be like, hi. Everybody.

We brought birthday cakes. And candles. And we will decorate this mosque all up. And they'll love it! In the Shiite world.

STU: These regimes that you're talking about there, too. They're not the ones to fear.

It's Donald Trump.

Trump is the one to fear.

Like, that's the guy. If you have to be really terrified about something coming down the road.

It's definitely not the Islamic extremist regimes we're discussing.

It's, instead, the -- the -- the tyranny of the -- you know, real estate developer from Manhattan.

GLENN: Yeah. You know, he want -- he's a man of tyranny. It's clear. He hates them gays so much.

He was the first president to, you know, open a party openly. And say, hey. I'm going to appoint gay people openly.

I will have the first gay person speak on the podium. I will be the first president that actually runs and say, I don't have a problem with gay people. You know, you got to fear him. But the guy who wants to chop your pee-pee off. And throw you off a building.

You know, that happens to be, coming across our border right now. Don't fear him.

There's nothing to fear there. Nothing to worry about.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Your Actions Matter More Than Words in the Eyes of God

Glenn Beck and Eric Metaxas expose the spiritual crisis gripping America’s churches — a moment they compare to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning before World War II. As the culture descends into moral confusion, too many Christians retreat into silence, claiming faith while refusing to act. Together, they argue that true belief demands courage — that “faith without works is dead” — and warn that neutrality in the face of evil is itself a form of complicity.

Watch the FULL Interview HERE

Is Socialism replacing the American dream?

The American Dream used to mean freedom and the chance to build your own life through hard work, faith, and independence. But today, it’s been replaced by comfort, consumption, and debt. Glenn Beck breaks down how America traded liberty for lifestyle, why socialism is gaining ground, and what it will take to reclaim the real American Dream before it disappears for good.

Transcript

GLENN: I don't know if you saw the visualizing the American dream, Stu.

You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can forge your own way.

You can -- you know, you can have a scrap of land, and grow your own food if up.

You can, you know, go to school. Not go to school.

You can find a job. If you're qualified for it, you have an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit.

But the percentage of Americans who say the American dream is retirement is 86 percent. Health care, 86 percent. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets, 66. A wedding, 55 percent. That's the American dream, I can get married.

The American dream, if that's what you think, they've now estimated, the cost per household over the cost -- over the lifetime, retirement is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20 percent you want to, is $957,594. Owning a car, buying and finance to begin with new cars every ten years is now $900,000 over your lifetime. Raising two kids to 18, plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids. Health care, over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations, annual vacation from '22 to '85, $180,000. One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000!

That's more expensive than a wedding. The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.

There's a reason socialism is doing well. You look at that, and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American dream. And for a lot of people, that is the American dream!

That's not what the American dream is supposed to be, but, you know, once -- you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom. It became stuff. And, you know, when there's a new report out. Let me see if I have that.

There's a new report out now that shows, first time home buyers made up just 21 percent of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record.

The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all-time high of '62. The median downtowns, reaching 23 percent.

The highest since 2023.

And also, where is it?

The last one is -- the median age for first time home buyers, in 1981, it was 29 years old.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Twenty-nine years old. In 2021, it was 33 years old.

What is it this year?

Median age, first time homeowner, forty.

You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home. That puts these things that people want, dream about, out of reach, until you're 40?

You know, 29 is one thing. But if you're not seeing -- you're not seeing your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I -- I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work.

Because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you.

Or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you.

And everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you're not is patient.

And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah. Well, socialism is neat because capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that?

STU: I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for. But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.

That's not -- that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.

GLENN: But they're not learning that anywhere.

They're not -- that is our responsibility! To teach those things. Because they're not learning it anywhere.

Glenn Beck Warns of 3 Economic Outcomes That Could Change EVERYTHING | Ep 467

Socialism is spreading fast among America’s youth, and the shocking election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City marks a major cultural and economic shift. Glenn exposes how runaway debt, record home prices, AI job disruption, and the collapsing stake in capitalism have led many Millennials and members of Gen Z to embrace socialism and communism. He reveals the three possible economic futures for 2026: two that are disastrous and one that could change everything if the Trump administration’s global financial overhaul succeeds. Plus, Justin Haskins, president of the Heartland Institute, joins to reveal some terrifying truths about why young Americans are embracing socialism from a poll he conducted with Rasmussen Reports.

The world is about to realize the DEADLY enemy we face

"The world doesn't understand yet. We're already in World War III," Glenn Beck warns. "That foe is not China. That foe is militant Islam." Glenn explains the battle we're currently facing and what's to come if we don't wake up soon...

GLENN: From New Jersey, it's Brian. Hello, Brian.

CALLER: Hello!

GLENN: Hey.

CALLER: Yeah. Thanks for taking the calls today.

GLENN: Sure.

CALLER: Yeah. I'm worried that we are headed towards another French Revolution-style because we have entire generations. Or actually people just not being heard by their representatives.

GLENN: Hmm.

CALLER: And it's not just here. It's around the world.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

I -- actually, I had scheduled for this time, I'll just do it some other time. Talking about what's happening in -- in England.

I think England is headed for a Civil War. And -- and it's very close.

I mean, you can't put 4,000 people. 4,000 people, in jail, or try them for hate crimes. And speech crimes.

You can't -- you can't do it. In England!

You can't do that in one year. And expect people to just put up with it!

You can't -- you know, we're -- we're -- America doesn't understand yet.

The world doesn't understand.

We're in World War III. We're already in World War III.

I don't know when it becomes a hot war. Or even a war that we on our side recognize. But we are in World War III. And that -- that foe is not China.

That foe is militant Islam, period. And, you know, when we have a situation to where people are -- when the government is just like, no. It's not a problem.

It's not a problem. You know. You've got illegals all over.

It's not a problem.

It's not a problem.

It is a problem. Don't tell me what -- what the problems are not!

Because we're the ones living it!

You're the experts, who keep telling us, no. It's going to work out fine.

And it doesn't work out fine. And it just gets worse and worse.

Oh. We can spend this money. No. It looks like we can't spend this money. Oh, we can afford this. No. It looks like we can't afford this.

You know, if we do this with Ukraine, it will work out fine. No, it didn't, did it? These endless wars, all of this stuff, don't tell me what the problem is. Listen to the people and start talking to the people. Honestly, this is the reason why I'm doing this today. I -- I need to hear from you.

I need to know what's on your mind, so I stay focused and -- and clear on what America is saying.

Because I don't think -- look, you know, me taking phone calls is -- is not a true representation of anything, but it does give me a sense of -- of where you are, as an audience. Maybe not as America, but as an audience. And there are lots of things that concern me. But I want to hear it from you.
But I think you're right! We're headed for real, real trouble. All you need is real economic trouble.

You start getting real, true economic trouble. 1930s kind of depression stuff. And we're in Civil War.

Dan, Oregon. Welcome!

CALLER: Hello, Glenn. How are you?

GLENN: I'm great!

CALLER: Yeah. Good. It's been a long time.

I guess it's been over ten years, since I've had a chance to talk with you. I was one of your first insiders. I was listening to you, since you were in Florida.

GLENN: Wow. Wow.

CALLER: So it's been a long -- yeah. It has been. And I can't say I've enjoyed all of it.
(laughter)

GLENN: Neither have I!

STU: I can't say that either, I'll be honest with you.

CALLER: You know, you were talking on yesterday's show, reminiscing with Stu about how you guys started. And I remember those old shows. And, you know, at the end of the -- the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Right.

CALLER: And there was a lot more entertainment. I remember I laughed a lot.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. I know. I know. Those days are long dead.
(laughter)

STU: There's nothing to laugh about now.

CALLER: Yeah. I -- I'm 78. I still work 40 hours a week. I love my job.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: Been married for 55 years. I have seven kids.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: I've got a daughter -- I've got a daughter who is in her 40s. And she has severe TDS. She -- we don't -- I mean, we're not cutting each other off. She hasn't done that at all. We're still very close as a family. But she was down visiting the other day, and got into a conversation with my wife. And I wasn't in the room. But Kathy said it was just like listening to one of those young people out on the street that was being interviewed by the news media. And she was -- and she was in tears about it. My wife and my daughter both.

And, I mean, I love her, and I continue to support her. She's a single woman, not by choice. She just never found the right guy.

GLENN: Yeah.

CALLER: And I really think that's part of the problem. Because she started reading -- back when Trump was first running, she started reading all of this stuff about him being misogynistic and all of this stuff.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: And it's just gotten worse. I -- I'm at a loss. I really am. Because I -- like, I see the country doing better. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I still feel like that at least right now, we're doing better as a whole. But what do we do about -- what do we do about our kids about -- she went to Portland State University for the last two --

GLENN: Oh, jeez, for the love of --

CALLER: Well, yeah. For the last two years, she went to -- she went to a little college in Idaho called Ricks for the first two years, and Utah State.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

CALLER: And then she served a mission for our church in Brazil and came home, but then she went to Portland State University. And it just seems to have gone downhill from there.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. So, Dan, I think you are suffering from the same thing that almost all parents are suffering from. If you're not suffering from this, then, I mean, God bless you. You know, get on your knees and thank God. Because you are a lucky, lucky family. Everybody has in their family. I have it in my family.

And you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?

My -- what is your goal with your daughter? Your real goal?

CALLER: My real goal is for us to be united eternally. That's my goal. That's my goal as a father and has been to teach her --

GLENN: And how -- and how is that going to happen with politics?

CALLER: We just stay together as a family regardless of what politics does.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Exactly right.

I think we're in a place now where as parents, you can ask your kids, but it has to be honest. It cannot be trying to win. It has to be honest. How did you get there?

I mean, I remember. You know, we've talked about this before. And you didn't believe that before. What has changed?

Can you help me with that?

I would like to see what you're reading, or what that was.

And just ask questions. But they have to be honest. They can't be, you know, because I'm setting you up. Because I want to change your mind.

But keep a dialogue open with them. And just love them!

Just love them!

Because if you do anything else, you're going to drive them away. And then they're really lost. So just love them.

CALLER: Oh, I know that. Glenn, when she was young -- when she was young, I considered her one of the elect. And the Scripture says, that in the last days, even the elect are going to be deceived. And that's what I'm seeing. But everything you've said, I -- I am doing. I'm doing it that way. Because I know --

GLENN: Okay. Good. Then you didn't need to -- I appreciate it. I'm so glad you called me. But you didn't need to -- my advice, you already have it down. You're a very wise man.
