RFK Jr. reveals the Democrat BETRAYALS that led to his Trump endorsement

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joins Glenn for an exclusive interview after he partially suspended his presidential campaign to endorse Donald Trump in key battleground states. RFK Jr. explains why he made that decision and how the Democrat Party did everything it could — including hiring private investigators — to keep him off the ballot. He also discusses whether he fears for his life without Secret Service protection, whether his father, RFK, and uncle, JFK, would be accepted by the modern Democratic party, and which 3-letter agency he would like to transform during a second Trump administration.

GLENN: Robert F. Kennedy Jr joins the program. Now, from -- from someplace. Where are you, Robert?

ROBERT: Portland, Maine. I'm actually driving to see Tucker.

GLENN: Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's way out there.

So, Robert, I don't know if you saw my X response to you, this weekend. I doubt you did. But I --

ROBERT: I did. It was beautifully written, Glenn. And I was so happy to see that. And I was so happy to have the same division that you had, of people coming together in our country. And trying to understand people you have people who disagree with you on issues, are not your enemies. They can still be your brothers and sisters.

GLENN: Right. Well, I wanted to ask you, because I -- as I said in that, you know, you don't risk your life for things you don't believe in.

And you've had Secret Service pulled from you now, by this administration, which I think is reprehensible.

How uncomfortable are you, with that, decision?

ROBERT: I'm -- I'm okay. I'm doing -- listen, I'm going to do what I'm going to do. My life is in God's hands.

So -- and I'm okay, with, you know -- I'm going to do what I'm going to do whether I have doubt or not.

GLENN: Right.

ROBERT: You know, I think it's a -- the fact that they -- they -- I've been denied Secret Service protection for so long, which is troubling for our country because it's part of the weaponization of the agencies, the politicization of the agencies. When my father became attorney general in 1961, early 1961, his first week in office, he called all of the division chiefs, the Department of Justice together. And he said, the one thing that we're never going to do is ask if somebody -- if a defendant, potential defendant is Republican or Democrat.

The country needs to know, that justice is blind. That our institutions are not partisan.

And that's what makes America really great. Is that government is -- you know, these institutions are supposed to be purged.

GLENN: Right. Right. But they're not.

The reason why I ask you about the Secret Service is, you didn't just leave the party and run against Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.

Now you've taken the real extremist position. To endorse Donald Trump.

What pushed you into that move?

Why -- why -- what scares you about the Kamala Harris victory, that would move you to endorse Donald Trump?

ROBERT: Yeah. I mean, our polling, from the beginning was saying that we were hurting Donald Trump much more than we hurt the Democrats.

So our polling consistently showed that about 57 percent, or 60 percent of our voters would vote for Trump, if I left. And so it was odd that President Trump and the Republican Party never really attacked me. And, you know -- was not trying to keep me off of ballots. They were deploying, you know, private investigators to take up every --

GLENN: Right.

ROBERT: Publicizing. Which is what the Democrats have -- this entire organization that was -- that was designed to destroy -- character assassinate me. And keep me on the ballots.

And actually, it was ironic. Because I actually hurt the Trump organization. I hurt the Republican Party much more. When it became clear to me, that I was not going to be allowed on the debating stage and the mainstream media had successfully stonewalled me. So, you know, I gave two live interviews on the major networks, in 16 months. Ross Perot had 34 interviews, in ten months.
I only had two live interviews on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN. And so I was being stonewalled there.

I was not going to be allowed on the debating stage. And that really was my path to victory. I could not talk to most Americans. So it became clear to me, that we did not have a clear path at the White House.

And that my state in the race, that the likelihood was that my presence in the race, would get the -- vice president Harris elected.

Vice president Harris for me, is a -- if you look at her speech at the Democrat convention.

You know, it was a Deep State speech.

She was preceded weirdly by the CIA officials who were speaking at the election. At the democratic election.

And had material elections.

It was a neocon speech. That was about more wars. And more wars.

And that is the only policy she's really defined herself as.

GLENN: Right.

ROBERT: And I think we're so close to nuclear war right now. So close to nuclear does and the Trump administration.

The Trump -- President Trump reached out to me, immediately after his shooting, and we began talking. We had a series of meetings by telephone and in person and in Minneapolis, and then at Mar-a-Lago.

And talked about the things that surprised me, that we have in common. That he wants to end the Ukraine war immediately. He wants to protect children's health. He wants to end the censorship. And those are the three principle reasons that I got in the race.

And he asked me, you know, not only to join this election, but to help him in his administration, to make sure they're able to accomplish some of those goals.

And the unity party, where we would be able to criticize each other on issues. On which we disagree. But continue to work for greater good, on the issues that really unite Americans. And that are good for us.

GLENN: That's the way it should be. That's the way it should be.

So I talked to Don Jr.

And he told me, that he wanted you to pick a three-letter agency. That you could blow -- that you could blow up.

Those were his words.

Which three-letter agency, would you be most inclined to say, President Trump, please, I would like this. This agency.

ROBERT: Yeah. You know, we haven't really discussed that.

And, you know, there's a number of agencies.

I mean, I've talked about it before. Many of the agencies, from the CIA, to HHS, et cetera. But we're -- you know, we're focused on kind of the larger theme of the administration, which is public health, restoring America's health. Make America healthy again. So that our country will be unified.

We're to love our children more than we hate each other. And we're letting our children down, as you know, Glenn. Sixty-seven percent of them now have chronic disease. Seventy-seven percent of American kids cannot get in the military because of health reasons.

And, you know, this is our national security emergency. It's a moral crisis for our nation. And we are poisoning our nation.

GLENN: You know, I think your time has come on a lot of this. I think Americans are looking at the processed food and a lot of stuff, that the pharmaceutical companies are doing. And, you know, the right never looked at that stuff.

Big Pharma. It's fine. That's changed dramatically since COVID.

And I think people -- I mean, I see this, happening with conservatives. Where they're becoming the -- they're becoming the, you know, that used to be on the Democrat side.

A little granola. And, look, I want to get away from, you know, processed foods.

ROBERT: Yeah. You know, it's really funny. The time I really noticed this change is when Tucker Carlson, you know, did a whole show on endocrine disrupters. Endocrine disrupters are a class of chemicals that interfere with fertility and sexual development. And they're like PCBs. And PFOAs, which are flame retardants. Which are now ubiquitous in the environment.

Oh, and I've heard for 30 years, I've been trying to get Republicans to pay attention to this. I've been suing those companies. And only the Democrats would talk about it. And what Dr. Carlson did, is the Democrats rained holy hell down on him. And said, oh -- oh, he's blaming chemicals for turning people gay, which, of course, he wasn't doing.

But they completely ignored the issue. And they -- they turned it into a tribal issue. And, you know, so now the Democrats are on the other side of that. They're applauding the chemicals in our food. They're applauding the chemicals -- they're applauding the dominance of pharmaceuticals in food, food processing companies -- of the agencies that are supposed to regulate them.

GLENN: Right.

ROBERT: It's such a turnaround. And, you know, the Republicans are now the party -- the clean environment, the antitoxic party.

And the party of -- that's protecting children's health, rather than corporate profit taking in the mercantile interest of these companies, that are poisoning the entire nation.

GLENN: You know, I -- I -- I'm wondering if you moving over to endorse Donald Trump is going to make -- make regular Democrats.

Not the crazy Democrats. And the ones, many of them in the administration. But the average Democrat that loves their country and, you know, wants to get along, et cetera, et cetera.

I wonder if this is going to be the beginning of a movement and a recognition. A recognizing of how corrupt and how antidemocratic they are. I mean, what they're doing to Jill Stein and Cornell West.

That's nothing to do with the word democracy. The people claiming to save democracy are doing everything they can, to be, you know, almost Putin in the election.

ROBERT: Yeah. You know, the Democratic Party (another language) in Greek means people.

And so it means the party that trusts people. And the Democratic Party no longer trusts the American people. And that's why they -- their big worry is about disinformation and misinformation.

Well, you know, that's not the government's job.

If the government's job is to trust the people, and give them all the information they need. But start censoring information. As opposed to idea that they have to now censor information.

Is an indicator that they do not trust the people.

And they don't -- they're not letting her talk.

Everything is about this ironclad control.

Interest the people to vote for their candidate. So they had to get me off the ballot, using the judicial system.

And Donald Trump off the ballot. Using the judicial system.

And their -- it's all about a -- you know, ironclad control of the outcomes and no longer having any trust in the people of our country.

And, you know, there have been a series of political alignments. We align throughout American history, about four or five, we align this. And one of are those happening right now.

It's really interesting to be living through it, and we have kind of a front row to see it.

GLENN: Yeah. I know this would be only your opinion. It's a little unfair for me to ask. I've often thought, that your uncle would not be welcome in this party today. That his views would be I think right-wing extremist to this party today. Do you think your brother and your -- or sorry, your father and your uncle would be welcome in the Democratic Party today?

ROBERT: I don't think so. I mean, both of them. Kind of the central thrust of their -- of their policy entrance was -- was deep in the country. My uncle was asked by one of his best friends, Bradley, who ran the National Post. What do you want on your gravestone?

And he said, he -- my uncle immediately said, he kept the peace. He said, the primary job of a president of the United States was to keep the country out of war.

And he never sent a combat troop abroad during his thousand days in office. My father, ran against the Vietnam War. And was killed during an election.

So those are issues that, you know, both of them died for.

And the Democratic Party has now become the Neocon party. It's become the party of war.

And worse -- twice in -- in real dollars, we're spending twice on military. We're at the height of the Cold War, and that money is not being spent for national defense. It's being spent for international domination, and it's not a good policy. And it's not working.

GLENN: Well, Robert, I appreciate you pulling off to the side of the road.

And I know you have to get back on the road.

But thank you for talking to us.

And thank you for your courage. I think your speech on Friday, which CNN broke away from almost immediately. I thought it was very powerful. Very powerful.

Thank you!

ROBERT: Thank you very much, Glenn. Good to talk to you.

Fentanyl, gangs, and Hezbollah: The Invasion you haven’t heard about

A few weeks ago, President Trump moved a battle group to Latin America. Now, with the bombing of a Venezuelan cartel drug smuggling boat, we’ve seen what part of its mission may be. But Glenn Beck lays out an unreported second reason that Trump is drawing these battle lines: Venezuela has become a literal “beachhead” for enemies of America, like China, Hezbollah, and Iran.

GLENN: I want to talk to you about something that is right on our door step, that I don't think a lot of people are watching. I think it was Sunday. Saturday or Sunday. I read an article. And I just kind of skimmed it quickly.

And I filed it away.

And it was the United States is moving like a battle group, to Latin America. And I'm like, what? We're moving a battle group? What are we -- what -- we're losing.

We're moving cruise missiles, ships, like 4,000 Marines. I mean, this is what you have, when you have an invading force. You know, when you're worried about something, you want to keep calm in some area. You know, we sent them over, off the coast of Africa. Because there's somebody doing something.

And we sent this group over.

Like, hey. Knock it off. What are we doing?

Okay. Well, it's not just to Latin America. It's some place very specific: Venezuela.

What's happening now is not some distant strong man. This is -- battle lines are being drawn right now, between freedom and chaos. Okay?

This week, Nicholas Maduro, who was indicted by the Trump administration. I think in 2020. And then Biden didn't do anything about it. He was indicted by our own justice department for narco terrorism.

He just responded to us. And mobilized four and a half million civilian militiamen. So he's now just kind of drafting 4 million men, and said, you're -- you're a citizen, but you're also a soldier right now.

And he says, it's to defend sovereignty against America.

Here's what it is: He's trying to protect himself.

He's a dictator. And he's conscripting an entire had a nation. Because he knows, the United States is after him. Why?

Why?

Well, we have warships, three ageist destroyers, and they're anchored right off his coast. And we just doubled the on bounty on his head, from $25 million to $50 million.

And, you know, you -- at first blush, you're like, can we?

What are we doing? What? What's happening?

We've lived in a time, my whole life, where we're like, you know, the government can do two things at one place.

It should be able to walk and chew gum. Well, we're not just walking and chewing gum. We're walking, chewing gum, putting out the fire of a burning house. Juggling flaming bowling pins. Stopping a nuclear war.

Dancing the Macarena, because everybody in Washington, DC, is like 8,000 years old. We're building a death bot army at the same time, fighting people that want to behead us. Oh, and the Islamists, and redistricting Texas. And we're doing it all at the same time.

Why? I mean, we're living Mission Impossible, except our Tom Cruise is 78 years old. Which, I want you to think about this.

I think Donald Trump is exactly who Tom Cruise will be when he's 78. Just not -- he's still running that weird run that he's doing. Anyway, so Donald Trump is going after Venezuela for two reasons. One, drums. Fentanyl and cocaine, much of it laced, much of it deadly. And it is -- it is being trafficked here in the United States, by people who are directly tied to Maduro's government.

And it's the so-called cartel of the suns. MS-13 gang members. All of this stuff is coming from Venezuela.

And they are poisoning Americans. And this is not just a foreign, you know -- you know, a foreign security thing. Or a foreign policy issue.

This is -- this is Homeland Security. This is actually affecting us.

The second one, and I think this is the bigger reason of the two. I mean, they're probably tied. But this is a big one that most Americans don't know. Venezuela is not some backwater place. It's full of oil.

And it is a staging ground now for Russia, China, and Iran.

Hezbollah, it has some of the worst people. It's a beachhead, for those people who want to see the United States taken down.

JASON: Oh, Glenn. Literally, a beachhead. This is insane because I didn't even know a lot of this. We mentioned this maybe a couple of months ago.

GLENN: Yeah, we did -- we did -- it was part of another story.

JASON: The Tren de Aragua stuff.

GLENN: Yeah. Wait a minute. What is Hezbollah doing in Venezuela?

JASON: Oh, my gosh. So I actually did you go through congressional testimony, to get some of this information now. Now, this is information that the American public doesn't really know, but the government knows.

So check this out. This is from congressional testimony. In 2011, they tested -- Congress testified what Hugo Chavez was doing.

Listen to this. Just the year before, 2010, Hugo Chavez hosted something called the Secret Summit. Like literally, it was called the Secret Summit.

GLENN: Okay.

JASON: Guess who showed up to the Secret Summit. The supreme leader of Hamas. The Chief of Operations for Hezbollah, and the Secretary General of Palestinian Islamic jihad.

GLENN: Oh, I thought you were going to say Satan.

JASON: I might as well have. I mean, this is absolutely nuts.

GLENN: Nobody was talking about that. How can that happen right off our shore? Nobody is talking about it.

JASON: Glenn, it gets so much worse than that, if it can.

So Iranians right now, with connections to Hezbollah, are on an island off the coast of Venezuela. It's called Margarita Island. Everybody should Google us right now, and check it out.

GLENN: Is Jimmy Buffett involved?

JASON: He's -- Jimmy Buffett would be nowhere near this.

GLENN: All right. The whole world is about to crash.

JASON: Yeah, it's not 5 o'clock anywhere on this Margarita Island.

These are some of the things they're doing here, okay?

Again, with the involvement of the -- of the Venezuelan government. They are, quote, running money laundering operations, establishing -- excuse me. Paramilitary training centers.

They are recruiting Venezuelan gangs. And listen to this: Sending those people -- this is like Tren de Aragua. Sending them to Iran for follow-on training.

GLENN: Jeez.

JASON: This is happening right now. Our government knows about this. This is the only time I've actually seen them do anything concrete to combat it.

GLENN: They've known about it since 2010. Known about it since 2010.

You didn't know that. Nobody is saying that. When -- you know, we've -- we've argued that Venezuela and communism. And, you know, they were eating the zoo animals.

That's what happens, gang.

When you go communist. And full-on democracy. They wanted full-on democracy. And that's what you get. You know, hello, Maduro.

So when Maduro took over, he was kind of the Mamdani, if you will of -- of Venezuela. He's just a simple bus driver. Uh-huh.

And look what -- look what he's done.

That's the part we've heard about.

Then when the border crisis happened. We started hearing about, oh, well, they're sending gangs in. And they're sending -- they're sending fentanyl and everything else in.

We still are not talking about their connections to Iran and Hezbollah. And how they have been training people. And sending them here!

This is really not good.

So Donald Trump clearly knows all of this stuff.

And that's why he's offered $50 million. For anybody that will turn him in.

Or can tip us off to lead to the capture.

And now, the reason we're doing that. You've got to remember. We've done this before.

Noriega. Was a guy who was a drug lord.

And he was running a country. And so we've got to get him. And we finally did get Noriega. And he went to prison for what he did.

But the other times we've done that, Saddam Hussein, and even worse Muammar Gaddafi, that was a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama nightmare.

And they drug his body through the streets.
Because we assisted the collapse. And it became a vacuum!

And now, Libya is just a nightmare.

Just a nightmare.

So was Iraq. We can't let that happen to Venezuela.

So we have to be very careful. You can't just say, go get them. We have to be very careful.

Unless the people themselves rise up against Maduro. Unless the people themselves do it, this is going to be -- this is going to be a tough one.

But we have to stop pretending, that this is somebody else's problem.

Because it is our problem. It really is our problem. Those people are already here. And we are also -- you know, this is one of the reasons insular like it, when people blame their problems on others.

I'm an alcoholic.

Now, everybody says, well, that -- that's a familial thing. That runs in your genes. I don't know. I don't think they've ever found that. There's no evidence of that. But you make a good case. I mean, we're riddled with alcoholism in my family. So, yeah. Maybe! Maybe! But I'm the one who makes the choice. Okay?

Yeah. Maybe I have that extra gene that's working against me. Maybe! But I went in to the bar. I went in to the store and bought the booze.

So we -- we have to start taking responsibility for some of our problems. It's easy to say, Venezuela is shipping all this fentanyl into the United States.

We have to recognize that Americans are buying it. Now, there's one thing to say about addiction. Once you start buying it, then you're addicted to it. And it is a nightmare.

I mean, the first time I had fentanyl, I -- I wake up. I've woken up on the operating table, two times.

They cannot keep me down. My body just processes stuff like, so fast. It's a fast, high-functioning liver.

And I was in pain. You might remember this, if you've listened to me, for a long time.

I was in New York. And they put me under. And then they -- I got out. And they were giving me morphine. I think Percocet.

And fentanyl patches. And my doctor after said, why would you let somebody do this to you?

And I was like, well, I was a little high.

And my wife didn't know.

We listened to the doctor. That's when we really learned: Don't listen to the doctor. Yeah, they don't always know.

But they had good intent. They were just trying to keep me out of pain.

But the box. Fentanyl.

I don't know if it still does.

If you get a box of fentanyl from the drugstore.

It says, black box, warning for end of life use only. Why?

Because it is so incredibly addicting.
You take it for a day or two, and you're done. You're addicted to it.

So addiction is one thing that we have to deal with.

But we also have to say, Americans are buying this stuff!

We have to change our culture, and start prosecuting people who are buying this stuff.

And treating those who are addicted to it, and understanding with compassion. Yada, yada, yada.

But we have to also -- if you're selling drugs, you're involved in selling drugs, you should have a very, very long sentence. Very long sentence.

You know, don't tell Donald Trump this. But, you know, China does not have a drug problem.

Because if you sell drugs, you're executed. I don't even think you get a trial. They just kill you.

Let's not tell Donald Trump that, because he might like that idea.

But fix it quickly.

Fix it quickly.

But we -- we have to take responsibility ourself. We have to be resilient as people. In our communities.

We have to have strong families.

We have to have citizenry, that knows the difference between liberty and tyranny. We have to understand that freedom does not come when you're on drugs.

It doesn't. That is the worst tyranny. You're a pharmaceutical tyranny.

You are -- air slave to whatever it is, that you're putting into your body. That's the real battle.

But there is another one off our shore. That could -- what do you think is going to happen, Jason?

Because this is a significant battle group, isn't it?

JASON: It's significant. I mean, including 4,000 Marines. I was on a battle group like that, where this is the same kind. Where we would go and sit off the coast of a Middle Eastern country.

GLENN: Yeah. Weren't you off the coast of Australia? You were one of the first in after 911.

JASON: Yeah. Yeah. In one of these battle groups, doing exercises in Australia. We got the call and went straight to Afghanistan right after that.

So this is like the firepower that could do that. So it's very intimidating. I would assume that is the reason for this. I don't think they will be doing actual -- you know, conflict-type kinetic stuff.

But I bet that it's just supposed to mean -- it's supposed to be intimidating. I'm curious if it's supposed to lend some support to maybe some of the, you know, ground people in Venezuela.

To finally tell them, look, we've got your back. If you want to, you know, do something about this, and finally take your country back. Now would be the time.

GLENN: Yeah, maybe we would be a peacekeeper. You know, maybe we would be a peace-keeping force.

Uncovering the secret funders of gender ideology

Who is really funding the sudden cultural obsession with gender ideology? Glenn Beck uncovers the hidden networks of billionaires, nonprofits, and global organizations fueling the transgender movement and reshaping society at every level—from schools and corporations to government and even the United Nations. This is not a grassroots movement; it is a coordinated and well-funded campaign to dismantle the foundations of family, faith, and freedom. The deeper you follow the money, the clearer the picture becomes: powerful elites are weaponizing gender ideology to silence dissent and control culture. In this episode, Glenn exposes the truth the media won’t touch and explains why every American needs to understand what’s at stake.

Glenn Beck and Max Lucado discuss end times

Glenn Beck sits down with pastor and author Max Lucado to break down the shocking signs of prophecy that seem to be unfolding right before our eyes. From global deception, political turmoil, and persecution of Christians to the rise of immorality and cultural chaos, the warnings Jesus gave in the Olivet Discourse sound eerily similar to today’s headlines. Max Lucado explains the “super sign” that marks the beginning of the end, why the darkness seems to be growing stronger, and how believers should respond with faith and hope rather than fear. This is a sobering yet encouraging reminder to stay awake, stay faithful, and recognize the times in which we live.
