The DISTURBING secret George W. Bush revealed to Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck recalls the eye-opening meeting he had when George W. Bush called him into the White House. After tearing into Glenn with a profanity-laden rant, Bush revealed a secret about the Deep State and presidents that was meant to calm Glenn’s nerves. It did the exact opposite…

GLENN: I was in -- during the -- was it, 2007, 2008 election?
I went to the White House. Because I was called on the carpet by George W. Bush. Because I was not happy with -- with the war. And the way it was going.

And I had made some comment about, I don't remember even what it was. But I made some comment on the air, that, you know, hey, left. You want to impeach him. Here's the thing you impeach him on.

Because this is actually impeachable.

And that didn't sit well with the Bush administration. They didn't like that. And I get a call on the way home from the studios. And it's the White House. And is this the first time the White House had ever called me, without me reaching out first. And I get a call. And it's a 202 number. And I'm like, it's 1414. 202. I can't remember. 458 or something. 1414. And I remember 202. That's Washington, DC. And 1414, I remember, that's the number of the White House.

And I look at it for a while. And I'm like, I think that's the White House. And I pick it up.

Mr. Beck?

Yes. The president would like to see you in the Oval tomorrow morning at 10:00.

Now, I'm on the morning at 10 o'clock in the morning. Do you think you could make that -- I didn't even know what to say. I literally held the phone away from my head. I'm driving. And I look at the phone. And I look at the road. And I don't even know what to say.

And I'm just -- you know, I said, well, hang on. Let me check. I check.

And I put the phone back up against my ear, and I said, okay. It looks good. Yeah. I can be there.

Hang up the phone.

It was freaky. I get there, and the first thing the president says -- I sit in the chair, in the Zelinsky chair. And the first thing the president says to me is -- and laced with profanity. You know, a lot of people think they know how they could be the F-ing president. Well, they have no idea how to be the F-ing president.

I'm like, oh, my gosh, this is going to be the longest hour of my life.

And he read me the Riot Act.

After it was all over and he had it out of his system, we stood up at the end, and it was the day that Barack Obama had said that if he were president, he would just fly our planes over the border into Pakistan. And he would just bomb Pakistan.

Well, this is a point where Pakistan is kind of helping us, okay? They're not our friends. They're more frenemies. But they're kind of helping us at this point. And he says, Barack Obama says -- and if he would have done that, the whole -- the whole coalition of the willing, all of that crap would have gone right out the window.

And so I said to the president as I'm walking out, he's standing by the Oval. Or by the Resolute Desk. And I said, Mr. President, I don't know if you heard this, but today, Barack Obama -- he said, oh, I heard about that. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about that.

I said, okay.

He said, trust me, Glenn, whoever comes into this office, no matter which party they're in, they are going to sit behind this desk, and they're going to realize, because they're going to be advised by exactly the same people that have been advising me, that they really have no choice. This is what they have to do.

And he said, have a good day.

And I'm like holy cow! I walked out. And I -- do you remember me calling you after that, Stu?

STU: Yes.

GLENN: And I was freaked out. I was like, this is not good.

The president isn't really the president! The president is just listening to all these advisers, who are in, advising the last president. And the president before that. And it's all State Department stuff.

And they're just -- they're just suiting a long plan. What difference does it make who we have in the office, if that's true, remember that?

STU: Yeah. One specific part of that, that you didn't mention was -- because he was very angry at you. But that part of the conversation was meant to make you feel good, right?

GLENN: Yes.

STU: It wasn't like an anger thing. It was like a, hey, it's okay! Calm down. All of the decisions will remain the same. And it's like, that didn't calm you down much.

GLENN: No. It made it worse.

STU: Yes.

GLENN: And so why do I bring this story up, which I've told before. Why do I bring this story up?

I bring this story up because when Donald Trump sat at the table and said, just going to get old Vlad on the phone. And he stands up, walks out of the room. With all the world leaders.

And he just picks up the phone and calls Vladimir Putin. And says, hey. I mean, want to keep you up to speed on what's going on.

He didn't ask for permission.

He didn't have anybody whispering in his ear. He's leading the State Department. He's leading the world.

He's keeping his own counsel. That hasn't been done by a president in, I don't know how long. And it's why we're once again the leaders of the world!

Because these -- these advisers, all of these doctors and professors and, you know, people who have been in the State Department their whole life and know better than everybody, Donald Trump has said to them, shut up. I've seen your record. It doesn't work!

We've been doing it for 100 years. We're losing credibility. We're losing money. We're losing power and influence.

I don't want to hear it! This is the direction we're going. And he didn't have the juice to be able to fire all of those people, last time.

And he put the wrong people in position. Now, at the State Department is Rubio.

And I've got to tell you, Rubio is one of the last guys I would have picked. I would have thought, Rubio was a big, big globalist.

Look at who Rubio has turned out to be.

So the two things that are happening, are really -- are really based on one thing. And that is, the president of the United States is in charge of his administration.

The president of the United States keeps his own counsel. The president of the United States listens to the -- his own gut. For the first time that I have seen since Ronald Reagan -- and Ronald Reagan did it in one place, and that was the Soviet Union. He knew the difference between good and evil, and he called it, and he didn't care what anybody said.

Donald Trump is doing this in -- in example after example after example. He's keeping his own counsel. And he is telling his people: This is what I'm going to do. Find the Constitutional way to do it.

Because this is what has to be done! And he's not taking no for an answer. And he's not kowtowing to the people who have been there forever. Oh, Mr. President, you have to listen to this man.

He's not listening to him. If it doesn't make sense to him, he's not listening to him. And he is not waiting for permission from anyone.

That's the takeaway from this last four days. America is leading, because we actually have a leader who knows who he is, knows what he wants to do, and is not going to take no for an answer, unless it's unconstitutional. He gets it done.

That in six months? That's a remarkable development.

Is Dearborn Height's new police patch idea TREASONOUS?!

The police department of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, posted and then quickly removed a prototype police patch featuring Arabic writing. Why would an American city, Glenn Beck warns, bow to a community that has declared over and over that it DOESN’T want to assimilate into the American way?

GLENN: What Tim Kaine was talking about last week with our Declaration of Independence is so crucial. It's why I started the program with it. If we don't have this, we don't have anything. And you have to understand that our Founders came from a place where they hated government, but they needed some government. And they were trying to put together a system that made men free. This is a lens that we can't even relate to anymore. Because now governments and politicians all over the world, their idea of creating laws is how do they gain more power? How can they keep you in a box, more? It was the opposite of what our Founders believed. And our Founders believed, look, if everybody just understands that everybody has a right to say and do the things they do. And they understand civics. That with those rights come responsibilities. Then we're going to be fine.

But if they don't understand that, if they're not a moral society, that understands moral sentiments. If they don't -- if they're just out for greed. They're just out for themselves. Then the whole system breaks down.

And that's what we -- that's what we have. If I have time, I want to tell you some of the things that I noticed on vacation.

You know, I went by. I was in New York.

And I went by the -- what was it? The center for ethical society or something like that.

And it's -- it was in a building that had to have been built around the turn of the century. So it had to have been a progressive thing. And it had a school next to it. And everything else. And I thought, I wonder what the ethics are now, coming out of the ethical society.

I wonder what those ethics are. Because ethics. Ethics are just changing.

Everything is changing just under our feet.

Because we no longer respect the ethics and the constitutional norms that created this country.

And let me take you to Dearborn, Michigan.

So last week, we find out that an institution. The police department. An institution sworn to uphold the Constitution, has introduced a uniform patch, with Arabic script for the very first time. And it just says, in Arabic, police department. Dearborn police department. That's all it says.

And it's just to better connect with the population. Of Muslim population there in tier born, Michigan.

And it sounds harmless. You can make that into no big deal. Dearborn Police, what is your problem?

Well, it's not just a small gesture of outreach. It's a signal. And signals matter. For more than two centuries, America has been an experiment, and we used to describe it as a melting pot. You could come here from any land. Speak any language. Any faith. And we could come here. And if you believe in the laws and the Constitution of America, if you believed in that, and you upheld those things, we could melt together, and we could create something even greater than you could even imagine!

We didn't erase cultures. We elevate what unites us. Instead of elevating what divides us.

And we don't bend our civic institutions to mirror any kind of tribal or religious identities.

We don't create parallel systems of justice or identity. Now, I want you to think about history.

No immigrant group, none. Ever.

No religion ever had law enforcement tailor itself to them!

Never! Catholics came to this country, by the millions. What did they face? They were mocked.
They were ridiculed. They were accused of being agents was the pope. Churches were burned. Signs that read, no Irish allowed. Yet, the Catholic Church didn't demand a crucifix on the police badge.

They didn't demand government offices display papal seals. That would have been completely rejected by everybody.

What they did was they fought. They endured. And over generations, they proved that they could be both Catholic, fully Catholic, and fully American. And the same is true of the Mormons.

Look at what the Mormons have faced. They have faced the harshest prosecution or persecution of all in Missouri. Governor Lilburn Boggs signed an actual extermination order, ordering Mormons to be driven from the state or killed. It was legal for you to kill a Mormon, because they were Mormon!

That's the only it government order like it, in our history. They were beaten. They were tarred and feathered. Their homes were torched. Their leadership was murdered. They fled West outside of America proper to carve out a home in the wilderness and just be left alone in the mountains.

And what happened after they got there. The U.S. Army marched into Utah, convinced the Mormons were plotting a rebellion against the United States, but they weren't. In fact, they revered the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, more than their persecutors even did.

For years, the Mormon Church used to teach the founding documents, alongside the Scripture. It's what tethered that religion to, I believe, to sanity and not being pulled in every different direction. They've stopped teaching the founding documents. And I think it's a problem, myself.

But who am I to say? But Mormons are the most patriotic of any religion in America. Check it.

Why? They didn't bend America to their faith. They bound their faith to America. Now, compare that and the Catholics and everything else. Every other religious group that has ever come in. Now, compare that to what's happening in Dearborn, Michigan.

Week after week, and we have them on tape. Week after week, from the pulpits of the local mosque. The imams openly declare their goal not to join the American project. But to replace it.

Not to preserve the Constitution. But to subvert it.

They preach the supremacy of Sharia law, over American law.

And now, the police department, a symbol of our secular Constitution order, decides they want to appeal to that group? To wear that identity on its uniform?

That's not inclusion.

That's not assimilation. That's not the melting pot.

It's the opposite.

It's Balkanization, at its kindest. It is the state bending towards the demand of a religious political ideology, that seeks to replace our American civilization.

Let me be really super clear on this: This cannot stand.

Our history shows us the way. Every faith, every culture, every group that has come to America, has been tested, and put through the ringer.

Quite honestly, I don't like it!

But it has worked out for the best of all of us. Because we have been forced to prove, will we embrace the Constitution, or will we try to replace it?

Are we coming over here, and we're just going to live like Irishmen, and live by the Irish laws, or are we going to bend to the Constitution of our new country? Catholics embraced it. Jews embraced it. Mormons embraced it.

Baptists have embraced it.

Millions of immigrants from every corner on the globe have embraced it. And that's why we are who we are.

If Dearborn or any other American city sties that they're going to start carving out exception to see make government institutions bear the mark of the religion that seeks to dominate, rather than integrate, we are not just forgetting our history. We are part of the unmaking of America.

Because in the end, the melting pot isn't about a cheese fondue. It's not about food.

It's not about festivals. It's about allegiance.

Allegiance to one nation under God, not Sharia. Not under Rome. Not under Salt Lake City. Under the Constitution. That's what the flag represents.

And if we lose this, we lose America. Dearborn must not allow -- they're saying this is -- the mayor came out on Friday and said, well, this is only voluntary. You could have the patch or not. We're not going to make it. We're not going to make it required.

You should not make it available. You should not make it available!

I'm a collector of history. I have yet to see, you know, from the Pennsylvania Dutch region, the police badges that were in German!

I grew up in Seattle. In the Pacific northwest, where there's lots of Asians. I have yet to see the police badge that is in Chinese.

It doesn't happen! We don't do it. Some may say that this is the unmaking of America. That's where I'd like to fall.

But it's dangerously close. To treason.

Democrats think their INSANE Trump rants are GOLD

The Democrats need new material, and they know it! In just recent weeks, Democrats have compared the Trump administration to the Handmaid’s Tale, Nazi Germany, the Iranian theocratic regime, and, of course, a stooge of Russia. But meanwhile, the DNC has blacklisted woke terms. Glenn and Stu take a look at the insanity…

GLENN: You know, the Democrats are just losing all kinds of credibility. And people are switching parties. Like they've never switched away from the Democratic Party before.

And here's why: Everybody's favorite Congresswoman Crockett on the DC crime crackdown.
Listen to this.

VOICE: ICE, for the most part, is nothing but a ride. That's all they were supposed to do for the most part, right? Is like, you know what, this person is undocumented, or this person reentered the country illegally. All the things, and then they have ICE holds. And then ICE gets them. So they can -- that's all ICE is supposed to do.

Look at them for a fancy Uber driver for immigrants. That's all they're supposed to do. And they're falling all over each other, injuring each other. Like, we are a joke.
(laughter)

STU: She's awesome.

GLENN: She's with Gavin Newsom. She's fabulous. Can we go to cut three? Here she is on the crime crackdown.

VOICE: Tell me what it's like in DC. Tell me what you think this is really all about.

VOICE: So it's very dystopian to see. It's funny because I used to watch the handmade's tale. And I can't, right?

I never finished. And I can't watch it, because it is too close to reality.

STU: Oh, yeah.

VOICE: And so what we're seeing is this militarization.

And obviously, it started in your state. That was kind of the testing grounds. Going to your state. Going to a black woman, mayor city.

First. And now, you're in yet another black woman-led city.

GLENN: Uh-huh. That's why he's doing it.

VOICE: And taking over. To me, it's going again to the level of racism and hate. That is constantly seen --

STU: Shocking she went there. Wow. What a stunning twist.

That's like M. Night Shyamalan. I would never expect her to go to a racial claim.

GLENN: I know. I know.

Now, let's go to Pritzker, the governor from Illinois.

And what he has to say, about what's going on.

STU: Must we?

VOICE: I built a Holocaust museum, and one thing about that experience that I can tell you when I got the Holocaust survivors for more than a decade to build this museum.

One thing I learned in the process of that, is that it doesn't take very long to tear apart a constitutional republic.

And the Nazis did it in 53 days.

GLENN: No.

VOICE: And our democracy is almost fragile.

GLENN: Started in 1922.

GLENN: And we're seeing it right now. Yes. Who has been tearing it apart, you fat? Anyway. So now we're pre-Nazi Germany, according to him.

Uber drivers. ICE. It's the Handmade's Tale in -- in Washington, DC. It's pre-Nazi Germany in Illinois. And here comes Stacey Abrams to help us with more.

Cut six.

VOICE: I want to tie this back to the abundance agenda. And how you think about blue state power.

If it is true, that he's a grand ayatollah. That mystical power extends. And can be, you know -- he can anoint his -- you know, his profits.

And he can remain this --

GLENN: Okay. Stop. Stop.

STU: It's so good.

GLENN: So we are now -- he is now the ayatollah.

He's Hitler.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: In the handmade's tale. Who is also the mystical ayatollah, who is appointing new prophets.

STU: We have said, it's a lot of energy, Glenn. It's a lot of different roles to pull off.

GLENN: He does. He is covering a lot.

Now, he has also tried to make peace. But Susan Rice, with all of her deep, deep credibility, has something to say about that.

VOICE: It's pathetic. It's been clearly and repeatedly established. Including bit bipartisan Senate intelligence community. Led by Marco Rubio. Did Russia interfere in the 2016 election by disinformation campaigns. By social media efforts. By all sorts of means, short of manipulating the actual vote.

GLENN: She's still pushing it.

VOICE: And that's just a fact now. Obviously, Donald Trump does not like that fact. He does not like the fact that the intelligence community. And the Senate bipartisan intelligence community assessed that this interference was intended to --

GLENN: Stop. Stop. Stop.

STU: Unreal. I can't --

GLENN: How is this still happening?

With no pushback, from what was it? ABC or NBC.

No pushback from NBC. None. Zero.

All of the documentation has come out nap shows she was part of the conspiracy.

She was part of it. She was a ringleader in this. It's now showing all the documents. The facts. There are -- there's this -- this little fantasy, that the Deep State has been pushing.

And then there are the actual documents, written to and by people like Susan Rice, showing, this was all made up!

Wow! So wow.

And that -- and that strange Hitler mystical ayatollah.

STU: And handmade's tale.

GLENN: And handmade's tale. Guy who wants everybody dressed in red robes. Cannot get that stopped. That is so very weird. So weird.

STU: Glenn, you've worked with charities for a long time. You've founded your own. Almost incredible work around the globe.

Would you consider potentially putting together a fundraiser for the Democrats to come up with another literary reference, than the handmade's tale?

Is it possible, we give them a different book, just so they can say that title of it?

Now, I know Jasmine Crockett is, of course, so stupid, she couldn't even act like she read the book.

She only said she was watching the Hulu show. But still, can we get them some reference other than the handmade's tale.

GLENN: Well, they're already doing it. They're already doing it.

When you talk about literary stuff, they're already doing it. Here we go, you ready?

They have now. The DNC has now blacklisted terms that they don't want any of their people using. Okay?

STU: Oh, okay.

GLENN: Now, tell me what these terms have in common.

Blacklisted terms. Privilege. Violence. As in, environmental violence.

Dialoguing.

Triggering. Othering. Microaggression. Holding space. Body shaming. Subverting norms. Systems of oppression. Cultural appropriation. The Overton window. Existential threat to the climate.
Existential threat to democracy. Existential threat to the economy. Radical transparency. Stakeholders. The unhoused. Food insecurity. Housing insecurity. People who immigrated. Birthing person. Cysgender. Dead naming. Heteronormative. Patriarchy. LGBTQIA+. BIPOC, allyship, incarcerated people, and involuntary confinement. Those are the words that the Democrats are now telling their people, don't use any of these words. Those are the words that he forced everybody to use!
(laughter)
So they are reading from a new book. They're just burning their own book.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: It is absolutely incredible, what is happening right now! Just absolutely nuts.

STU: I don't see how they're going to get through conversations without those words.

Those are the only words they say.

GLENN: I know. I know.

I could just add -- I could just add some conjunctions in there. And I could make that into a speech.
