Sheriff WARNS of MASSIVE national security threats to America

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Yeah. So, Sheriff, you're in your fifth term in office as sheriff of Butler County.

And you went to Washington, DC, along with the National Sheriff's Association.

And you usually, if I'm not mistaken, don't you usually meet with the president?

RICHARD: The president refuses to meet with the national sheriffs for three years.

We have a hierarchy of president. There's 3300 sheriffs in the United States. And he refuses to meet for the past three years. Our association, that represents 3300 sheriffs.

Get this.

He won't meet with the police chiefs either. None.

And we had our meeting and training. Director met with a group of sheriffs.

Then the sheriffs came back and discussed with us, what he said.

And he said, the director of the FBI said the same thing to Congress. So the week before that, he said that there's more red flags going off now.

Before -- than before 9/11.

And there was only like 12 or 14 people, that attacked us then.

There's over 10 million people here.

These are people that are wanting to do us harm. This is what we were told.

More red flags were going off now.

The director also said that Chinese are attacking our infrastructure, such as our electrical grid. That goes out, when the weather is bad.

But it was built in the 1960s. They're trying to get into our phone system. Our electrical system. They're trying to hack communications, on everything.

They're trying to -- our sheriff's office is the eighth largest in Ohio.

Of 88, 400,000 population. 500 employees.

We dispatched for probably 20 different agencies. And our system was hacked by the Ukrainians.

Before they were sort of our friend.

But listen, they hacked our system, and wanted a ran some.

Now -- and we were down for three months. And you were wondering, why would they attack us?

They were attacking everybody.

And anybody that is listening to this, your communications, universities, your water. Your sewer. Your election process.

They're -- we get five times a day, to Chinese. They try to get us. And three times a day.

GLENN: In butler county.

GLENN: Yes. And three times a day, the Iranians.

And then there's others.

They try to get into your system. They want ran some.

And if you listen to what director where a said to Congress and to other people in the country.

But sometimes people don't listen.

He said, for every one person that works at the FBI, that is in charged in cyber, the Chinese have 50.

So it's 50 to one.

We have one person, they have 50, to every one that we have.

And they're -- the reasoning for this, is because disruption in America. If they go in. They want us to be busy. Which we are, fighting two wars.

Or involved in two wars.

Supplying all of our equipment, all of our guns, all of our treasure.

And these people don't like us already. And we are killing them on our land, they feel they're causing it.

We have 10 million people here in the United States, that we don't know who the hell they are, or where they're at.

And, again, we've had 20,000 Chinese military age adults come to the United States.

Just in California. Twenty thousand. So far, this year.

And there was like 300 in one day.

In California. That's just one sector.

GLENN: Yeah.

RICHARD: The Russians are coming. They're coming.

GLENN: Yeah.

RICHARD: And they're destroying our country. The Chinese are shipping the fentanyl to Mexico. They're shipping it this.

Now we have a northern border in Ohio, okay? Glenn.

And they pulled a lot of the personnel there to send them to the southern border. So now we have more drugs coming in from Canada. And to the United States, which Ohio parts with. And Michigan.

And the drugs are coming in. The people are coming in.

And I wanted people to know, we're going to start training my personnel. And we're going to train the civilians. Thirty people isn't much. But we are going to train them what to do. How do we get out of a building that is collapsed.

How do you get out of that building?

We're trying to tell people. And this is a university. We had it filled up, within 30 minutes.

Everybody -- I'm in sheriff's training today. And other sheriff's agencies are getting phone calls, what can they do?

Now, I don't think on doomsday Jones and Chicken Little.

And I tell people, you can do what the Israelis have done. They have a real strict gun policy in their country. You're not allowed to have guns unless you're in the military or police.

The police are the only people that saved that country, what we are told. They were killed, they were murdered. One police station, the terrorist came in and killed 30 people. Thirty police.

The policemen only had handguns. They didn't have enough ammunition.

And the same people, that came in there, are the same people, that appear in our country.

And when they say 10 million people are here. Go ahead, Glenn.

GLENN: Well, I was going to say, not all 10 million. But it only take 19 to do the World Trade Center. And in Canada, it was just announced, that they are now going to take refugees, from Gaza.

Without any litmus test on anything.

Well, our northern border is wide open.

And, you know, I -- I don't think that you're preaching fear.

I mean, people might be afraid of this. But you should be informed so you understand, what we're facing.

You'll understand what we're facing. And then perhaps you'll take action in your own community.

I mean, I know here, where I live.

We have been talking about, what do we do, if there's a food shortage? What do we do if there's problems?

How is the community going to come together?

You need to do this. Because if -- if they just -- forget about the 10 million people that are here.

Which I agree with you, is a massive threat.

But if they just hack into our water systems. If they hack into our communications, you don't have communications in America for a week. A week and a half.

What do you think is going to happen?

You have 72 hours before society starts to break down.

Because in 72 hours, the bad guys realize, wow. Nobody is coming.

And they take charge. It's not good.

RICHARD: Look, the police is all we have. Your local police. And look, the National Guard is not coming. The military is not coming.

If people think, well, the military, the National Guard, they won't let this happen. They're not coming.

You're on your own. Imagine people that are listening right now, when you lose your cell phone, and you can't find it for an hour, you puke. You freak out.

These people -- and seriously, you. Oh.

I mean, we live on them.

And people -- imagine when you can't communicate.

I've been in places, Katrina. Where there was no electricity, due to a national disaster.

And when you don't have electricity, you can't pump water. You can't pump gas.

You can't go to the bank. Because the bank computers are all down. You can't go to the store. People freak out. Because you have enough groceries.

You go to the store once a week. Listen, it's -- it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

And I'm not teaching doomsday or Chicken Little. These people are here, the lady that went to the church, Osteen's church, she targeted that church. What I've seen on the interviews, she had Palestine wrote on the rifle, and she targeted the church.

She took her child there, I assume, so they wouldn't shoot her, but they had no choice. Because there had been -- she was going for a bigger target.

And this is one person. And we know it's coming, Glenn.

And it's here.

These people, the Chinese are so good at this.

They have, actually, police stations within the United States.

The Chinese, they have safe houses. They have safe houses. Every state.

And if you live in a rural setting. You say, hey. I'm okay.

You won't be okay.

Because what you're trying to do, we were told, we should all look at our local elections.

They want to get into the heartland. Because everybody -- they know that will create chaos. If you can get into New York. Ask. All. They expect that.

And when it happens, it doesn't shock them, after 9/11.

But to get into a rural America, different story.

And that will send a shock wave.

And again, I will train my people. They will have rifles in every car. Which they do now.

They will have multiple magazines. And we will train differently, and I've got people calling from all over the country. This is -- we have had 14 million views on this. We bid on your show, two days in a row. You talked about it.

And I'm just one sheriff of 3300. And we're all -- we all know this.

But when you stick your neck out like this, people attack you.

Everything that I have said, director of the FBI, has said to Congress, none of this is a secret.

And he is saying -- and if you look at the tape of him talking to Congress. He said the exact same thing.

And the reason is, because they -- during 9/11. The FBI knew these people were here training. But the rest of us know.

No locals knew. They communicate now. And it's all on us. And you have to do something about it.

And what you have to do, when you're in the church, you have to look out.

Because for some reason, people attack these churches.

And then we got our homegrown terrorists.

So we're in a bad spot.

And, again, 10 million people, they're not all here to do us harm. But these Chinese, hey.

And I could go on, Glenn.

GLENN: Yeah.

So let me -- let me take a quick break with you.

And I want you to tell the other sheriffs, that might be listening, what you're doing in particular, because it's my understanding, you want the citizenry, to understand, they are the first responders.

We'll go there in 60 seconds.
(music)

STU: Ah, yes.

The world's greatest love stories. Part six. Because I apparently --

GLENN: Oh, wow.

STU: Myself. Yeah.

GLENN: Now, if we're going to talk about the greatest love stories out there in the world today.

The conversation wouldn't be complete without bringing up Harry and Megan. We're all enormous fans, and we hope to be covering every news story about them every single day.

But there's no way, that Megan isn't using serious, really good skin care products. Because you can't hide lizard skin, like that. Allegedly.

Allegedly. Whatever she's using. You should be using the new Gen 90 from Genucel. It's their latest breakthrough in amazing skincare products.

Take advantage of the Gen 90, Valentine's Day sale today, while you still can at Genucel.com. Where it's included in the best-seller package.

I don't know if Megan uses it or not. But whatever she uses, is working very well.

Can work for you too. You can get all those harsh medical procedures, if you like. You can do that. You can spend all the money on that. You can travel overseas.

You can do all that if you want.

But why do that, if you can get your skin looking up to snuff, with Gen 90? Honestly, a lot less -- with a lot less money and effort.

Go to Gen 90's website. It's Genucel.com/Beck. Genucel.com/Beck. Comes with free shipping. A luxury Valentine's Day spa box today. Check it out. G-E-N-U-C-E-L.com/Beck.

Ten-second station ID.
(music)
The sheriff of Butler county, Ohio. His name is Richard K. Jones.

He has recently been in Washington, the leaders of the Sheriff's Association.

Met with the head of the FBI. Christopher Wray.

He said exactly the same thing he's been saying in Congress, but nobody is paying attention to it. The press barely even listened to him.

While he is saying this. And it is not a matter of if, it's just a matter of when. We will be hit hard on the inside of America.

And part of that has to do, I think a big part of it has to do with, we don't even have any idea who is even here.

We know that people on the terrorist list, have been caught. Like 300, I think. Have been caught, trying to.

How many have we missed?

And how many are already here?

And that's -- as he said, even our own homegrown bad guys.

We are in a very vulnerable situation, right now.

So sheriff, I've -- I've been reading what you have put out.

And I know that you have ordered AR-15 rifles, into every single cruiser. Not just a few.

More ammunition. More magazines.

You've ordered more HazMat equipment.

You're planning on expanding your Citizens on Patrol Program.

What does that mean? What is that?

RICHARD: Well, Citizens on Patrol used to be, and still is, volunteers, people would retire, they would want something to do. We would send them to a basic Citizens on Patrol Academy, a couple times a week.

Where they could work the radio, and they could be our eyes and our ears and talk to the community.

We're relooking on that. We need to add people to that. People are so busy. It was always retirees before.

We have a special group.

And we need eyes and ears.

Because this is here.

And that's what we're going to do. Listen, we're training our trainers.

We can train more people. We can't train 400,000.

But we will let people know, and we will try to get some stuff online.

Where you can sign up. Not everybody can or will.

And we want our citizenry to be aware, if you're in the building, like I said earlier. The building classes.

How do you get through the drywall and get out.

When you're in a church, and there's a shooting. How do you get out.

What do you do for safety?

Take cover, and you go lock yourself in a door, a restroom door.

Your alternatives are, you have two. One, try to get out. And the other is you have to beg for your life, if they come in.

A third is, you can have a weapon. If you're allowed to carry a weapon into that area.

Those are the three alternatives. First one is get out. The second one is if you can't, beg for your life. And the other one is, you have a weapon for your own safety.

And so we're looking at everything. We're trying to get our trainers trained. Where we can train more people.

And if anybody is looking at this. And it's not just the sheriffs in the company.

The sheriffs are hired and fired by the citizens.

The different than police chiefs.

Police chiefs are appointed. And The Bosses. The sheriffs work to the people.

And we refer to them as constitutional sheriffs. They work for the people. Their only boss is for the people.

Every time there is an election.

They're not appointed, okay?

If you don't do your job, they'll fire you you.

We're fortunate that the sheriffs did. It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat sheriff or a Republican sheriff. We're all in this together.

And we're trying to figure it out.

But the government, they were talking about drones.

We have no -- the locals have no technology.

Hell, if the terrorists, buy their drones off Amazon. And if you watch the worst that is going on, all done with drones, for the most part. And the government can only do so much.

But if you're the local government, most police departments, fire departments, have drones.

GLENN: This is -- this is the way that America was built.

Closest to you.

You are the ones responsible to your own community. Sheriff, thank you so much.

We'll talk again. Good luck.

1992 Rooftop Korean SPEAKS OUT amid 2025 LA riots

"Rooftop Korean" Tony Moon, who helped protect his Los Angeles community during the 1992 riots, speaks out amid the 2025 LA riots. He tells Glenn Beck why today's riots are very different than those in 1992: "they're NOT organic."

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: From 1992, I believe this is the NBC report on the '92 riots in LA.

Listen.

VOICE: March 16th, 1991, Latasha Harlans, a black teenager is shot and killed by a Korean store owner.

Sun Ja Do (phonetic). Do is convicted of voluntary manslaughter, but is sentenced only to parole and a small fine.

The black community is outraged and remembers.

VOICE: Six months probation?

I mean, the people were pissed then.

VOICE: Today, local Korean radio is broadcasting which stores in the area are threatened.

Young men like Eddie Kim rush over to try to defend them.

VOICE: I don't care about anything.

But it's not a riot. Okay?

You know, it's not a riot.

VOICE: He spent last night, and will spend tonight, guarding his appliance store.

A small battalion of employees and relatives will try to help.

VOICE: I only have one shotgun.

That's all I have.

What do they have?

They have hundreds of people. Hundreds of young people.

With lots of guns!

VOICE: After the destruction, many Koreans have lost all faith that the authorities can protect them.

GLENN: We have one of those Koreans that were protecting people.

Tony Moon, a rooftop Korean from 1992. Welcome, Tony, how are you?

TONY: I'm doing well, Glenn. Thank you for having me on the show. It's a pleasure.

GLENN: I've got to tell you what an honor it is to you have you on.

Can you take us through the experience that you had in the '92 LA riots?

TONY: Of course.

I was 19 at the time. And I was fairly similar -- a little familiar with Latasha's verdict.

But being 19, I wasn't really plugged into politics. Or current events.

Then when things blew up, after the Rodney King verdict, I came down on a Wednesday.

It's when we saw the outrage from the black community. And that's what it was in '92. It was basically the community, that had legitimate reasons to be upset.

And there was a rift between the black community and the Korean community, because the Korean community actually went into the black areas that were predominantly black, and open businesses there. And were doing businesses in the community.

Because of the cultural differences between the two. There was a lot of, I guess you can say, a lot of built-up animosity towards each other. And that's where I guess that's -- the riots, a lot of the pent up frustration was targeting Korean business owners because of that.

And it went on from Wednesday, until through the weekend. Until the National Guard showed up.

But we were fending for ourselves by Thursday.

And the call went out on Thursday. And it went out, when many of us answered the call. A lot of the misconception, is that it was just Korean shop owners. Which wasn't true.

There were a lot of young men like myself. Nineteen, 20. 22-year-olds that went out there.

That's kind of what I'm writing in my book right now.

From that perspective.

Growing up in Los Angeles, at that time.

And what the culture was like. And who some of these young men were.

One of them being Eddie Lee. Who gave his life that week.

You know, for the community.

And unfortunately, it was -- you know, through friendly fire. And I detailed that in my book. Regarding why that happened.

And who some of these young men were, like myself. And my driver, who was out there.

And we weren't always, always. You know, we weren't all on the roof.

Which is -- it's a misconception.

Some of us were out there. Literally --

GLENN: What do you mean, by we were hunting?

JASON: You know, they think -- a lot of people think we're just shooting at looters, which is not the case.

In '90s, LA it was a very gang-rich culture in the '90s. I mean, there were a lot of gangs. One of the large gangs that came out of LA.

And which is -- which is, a Salvadorian gang, that started in the mid-'80s.

And a lot of them, were shooting at these business owners. And some of us who had a background in the streets. Knew -- knew their territory. And knew who they were.

So we actually went into some of these areas. To basically let them.

Put them on notice.

That it's not just the older generation that is shooting at them.

But we actually will be actively hunting them down too. And LA is very layered and complicated. There's a lot of pockets and neighborhoods, where they have different ethnic groups.

And the rule is that, you don't go into other people's area, and mess around.

GLENN: Yeah.

TONY: And you stay in your own neighborhood. You be respectful of other people's different neighborhoods. You don't go there. And just start popping off shots. And that's kind of what they were doing. And it worked out, in the end. It worked out.

GLENN: No. I know. I lived in New Haven, Connecticut. That has a very rich Italian history. And that was what the way it was. You know, the it's not protected their neighborhood. And don't come into the Italian neighborhood and try to stir anything up, or you'll be in trouble with the Italians. And they won't mess with you and your neighborhood. Just everybody take care of yourself.

TONY: Exactly.

GLENN: So did you ever feel like a vigilante in any way? Did you feel that maybe this was questionable to take this on yourself?

TONY: No. Not at all.

When you -- you don't have law enforcement out in the streets anymore.

You know, the streets become a lot -- it's everybody for themselves. You become -- you kind of gain kind of a tribal sense of protecting your own.

Right?

So it's no longer a sense of vigilantism. Just protecting your own. And making sure there's any encroachment into your territory.

So I didn't see it as being a vigilante.

But just maintaining law and order.

Somewhat law and order, some semblance of peace.

And that was done through the barrel of -- you know, a firearm.

GLENN: Compare what you went through, you know, the Rodney King riots.

The George Floyd riots.

And this riot. Is there any difference?

TONY: Absolutely. Absolutely. The 1992 riots were organic. You had different parts of L.A. County that were upset. And you had fires and looting. Because the black community was spread out through south LA, Compton, south-central -- La Habra Heights.

Different areas. And you could actually see that. You know, when you are -- looked at the city, as a whole. From let's say Hollywood. You saw the fires from different parts of the city.

This -- these riots that are occurring now, with like the 2020, what I call the BLM riots. Now the 2025 LA riots are happening now.

They are very centralized. And they're not organic. They're being funded by NGOs. And it's a leftist Marxist agenda, that's being pushed to make it seem as if there's widespread support for this.

For example, the criminal rights that are occurring right now. It's just happening in downtown LA.

And the curfew that was by the mayor is only -- I don't know it off the top of my head. Two square mile radius. Right? One square mile.

Yeah. That's what it is.

Anyone outside that one square mile. Life always proceeds as it has been.

It doesn't look like there's anything going on. Where the difference in 1992, whether you were in Hollywood, Culver City, which is further out west.

And then Hollywood is up north, past downtown LA. August, you stop at downtown LA. You had fires. Looting. I mean, it was widespread.

This isn't anything like what's going on down to 1992.

And it just kind of shows the incompetence of the current leadership of not being able to get their arms around something like this.

Because of their lack of leadership.
And I would say common sense. They're letting these protesters spiral out of control.

Because many of them, the playbook is for them to start in downtown LA at City Hall.

Then make their way down, which really pisses off a lot of people. Because, you know, it's -- it's a highly traveled freeway in LA.

GLENN: I know. It's a parking lot.

You stop me from getting home, I don't care -- I don't care if you're for free candy bars. Reindeer and Santa. I hate your guts if you delay me on that how. I hate you when I'm driving home.

TONY: Absolutely. Absolutely. So there's no widespread recourse for this.

GLENN: Okay. So tell me about how the feeling -- what the feeling is on Trump and the National Guard coming in.

TONY: I think it's awesome.

I think this should have been done back in 2020. But obviously, you know, during that time. It was the administration.

First time going through this.

I posted it recently on Twitter. That, you know, when you take a shot at a man, and you try to assassinate him. He comes back different.

You know, and that's what he's shown.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. It is. It is.

Newsom and Bass both say, the riots are contained. Didn't need the National Guard.

This is Trump just trying to turn into a dictator. This is their communities having enough of the people being disappeared on the streets.

What do you say?

What is the average person that you talk to say about those kinds of things?

JASON: I would trust the meteorologist more than I would trust Newsom or Bass.

They -- they're in the same basket as Pelosi. They lie about what's going on. Because of social media. And because of, you know, the lack of reporting, from the local news.

Which covers for the current leadership in L.A. County.

Including the mayor and the board of supervisors. The people that are not getting 100 percent of the news.

And this is no different than what happened in early -- earlier this year with the fires. With what was going on in palisades. Altadena.

You know, the news, in order to get coverage for the local leadership. And to get on their good side, they're not going to report anything bad that's happening.

Currently, I believe there's a class-action lawsuit, gets an board of supervisors. The mayor. I think there are tons of lawsuits being filed right now.

And the problem is that it's not these individuals that will be detained for this.

It's the city and the county.

It will be a drain on the budget. And it will affect the social services, like paramedics, firefighters, you know, law enforcement.

GLENN: I can't imagine being those guys.

TONY: Yeah.

GLENN: Let me ask you for any advice you would give to mom and pop business owners that are vulnerable today?

TONY: A lot of them are downtown LA. I would say, board up. What I've noticed, 1992, the shops that were spared were the ones that had steel roll-up doors. Those do well.

Otherwise, lock your doors.

GLENN: Yeah.

TONY: And deterrence is really a great way to keep looters out. So you don't have to necessarily take shots at them. But displaying, I outlined it in my Twitter feed. I pinned it to my profile.

Deterrence is actually really great.

Because these individuals are looking for low-hanging fruit. So they're looking for an opportunity. So they want to go for the easiest shop or whatever they're going to loot.

So if they move -- you know, you have a shotgun or, you know, an AR. Right?

And they see you're armed. They will think twice before answering. And they will move on to the next target.

GLENN: By the way, you can follow Tony Moon @RoofKorean7. That's his Twitter handle.

RoofKorean7. When does your book come out? You have to send me a copy so I can read it in advance, because I want to have you back when it's out.

TONY: Absolutely. Absolutely. You've been most gracious to me.

I don't know if you know, but I did an interview with Morgan from three years ago in your studio, which turned into a museum, I think. You have some really great artifacts in there.

GLENN: I do, thank you. Yeah, thank you. I didn't know that.

TONY: Yeah.

I'm trying to release it. Well, I'm finishing it up by the end of -- near the end of this month.

My kids are going to read it. Because the book is tailored towards the next generation like Gen Alpha. Gen Z.

GLENN: Yeah, yeah.

TONY: Because these kids weren't alive during that time.

And they only see what online social media is portraying. And also, you know, what they may hear from the news. So I want to give them an account from being -- from a teenage perspective at 19, in terms of what it looked like, and how it played out. So my kids are read the first half.

Some of them are in my book. They will read it too, and once they give their blessing and they're okay with it, I will try to push it out before the end of the summer.

GLENN: That's great. Well, do me a favor. As soon as you're comfortable, send a copy to me so I can read it.

Because I would love to be ahead on it.

But, Tony, best of luck. Thanks for coming on with me, I really appreciate it.

JASON: Thank you, Glenn. Thank you for this time. I really appreciate it.

GLENN: You bet. Tony Moon. 1992. Rooftop Korean on the LA riots, then and now.

A Riots: The Marxist Revolution Disguised as Anti-ICE “Protests” | Glenn TV | Ep 438

Remember this old prediction from Glenn’s chalkboard on Fox News: “Marxists, anarchists, radical leftists, and Islamists will work together to destroy capitalism and the West”? Well, that movement has cascaded all over the world and has now arrived on American streets. As Los Angeles continues to spiral into violent riots, more anti-ICE demonstrations are popping up all over the country in cities like Chicago, San Antonio, Atlanta, and New York. Democrat politicians and rioters blame the violence on President Trump’s deportation agenda, but the chaos isn’t organic — it’s well-organized and well-funded. Interim U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli joins to separate fact from fiction on what actually ignited the protests. He also reveals an ongoing investigation into the organizers and their sources of funding and gives an update on the FBI manhunt for the suspect who hurled rocks at law enforcement vehicles.

Something EXCITING is coming...

Something exciting is coming... Be the first to receive updates by signing up for my newsletter HERE.

If you’ve watched the footage coming out of Los Angeles this week, then you know something’s wrong.

You feel it. You see the chaos. The organized protests that magically appear—funded and networked—hit the same cultural pressure points every time: violence in the streets, masked as justice. I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again now with even more urgency: this isn’t organic. This is orchestrated.

When I first began formulating what would become TheBlaze in 2010, Barack Obama was surrounding himself with Marxist radicals.

These were people who spoke like revolutionaries and moved like Islamists: Bill Ayers, Valerie Jarrett, Cass Sunstein, CAIR, George Soros, Code Pink, the Tides Foundation, and someone who just came up again in yesterday’s news, Ron Gochez. I stood in front of those chalkboards and said, “Watch this. Watch how the socialists, the communists, the Islamists, and the anarchists would work together—not because they love each other, but because they share a common enemy: the West.”

Israel would be the first target, then Europe, then the cascading violence would reach our own shores. When I laid that out, not one single voice in mainstream media—left or right—engaged with it seriously. Not one host. Not one outlet. Nobody asked, “Wait, why would Glenn say that? Is there any truth in it? What’s the evidence?” Nothing. It was like screaming into a hurricane while standing completely alone.

This was before podcasts meant anything—before Rumble, before Substack.

This was when Netflix was still mailing movies to people. Not a single serious media personality was making an impact online because they weren’t online. I had just left Fox, and someone over there—someone I respected—looked me in the eye and said, “You’re not seriously going to do that online thing, are you? It’s a fad.”

Funny how a few short years later, they didn’t say that when Tucker left. Or when Megyn did. No one called it a fad then. But when I did it, everybody said my career was over. Truth be told, some nights, in the dark, I believed it too.

I pushed forward anyway because my goal was simple: create a safe haven. Not just a single place where voices could be heard or A platform for those who had spent their entire lives working to tell the truth, but were forced to play ball with corporate media and big government. What I wanted to start was a movement. Someone has to show others it can be done, and others will do it.

Look at the army of truth-tellers that has risen: TheBlaze, with people like Allie Beth Stuckey, Steve Deace, and Nicole Shannahan. Did you know that our current Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, started at TheBlaze? You have The Daily Wire, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson, Sean Ryan, Bari Weiss, and Dana Loesch—hundreds of independent creators, journalists, whistleblowers, and citizen investigators, all standing where there was once nothing but silence. Remember, the last election was not won by corporate debates, but by that “fad” called the internet and podcasts.

Thank You

To every person who supported us, who built this with us—I say this from the bottom of my heart: thank you. Mission accomplished. We used to say, “This is the network you’re building.” Now I can proudly say: look at what YOU built.

To be clear, this is not an ending. I’m not done—not even close—and neither is TheBlaze. I know some of their plans; TheBlaze will continue to grow and expand, just as I will. This is an expansion, not an ending.

Today, I’m announcing a new chapter—not a departure from our mission at TheBlaze, but an expansion of it.

While we’ve helped crack the back of corporate media, there’s another system just as broken, just as corrupted, just as dangerous: education.

We are going to do for American education what we did for legacy media.

This is not a new news network. This isn’t a Blaze 2.0. The Glenn Beck Radio Program will continue, stronger than ever. TheBlaze remains fearless and unshakable. What I’m building now is something new: a mission designed to spark a renaissance in how we teach and understand American history, civics, faith, and service.

Let me tell you—we are ready.

Since 2008, I’ve been quietly collecting rare documents and artifacts that tell the true story of America—the good, the bad, and the ugly. We need a place to find honest history, unfiltered and raw. In partnership with David Barton and WallBuilders, we now hold the largest private collection of early American founding documents in the world—from the Pilgrims through 1830. Only the Library of Congress and the National Archives hold more.

For the last three years, we’ve been digitizing it all, preserving it, and building systems and tools so you can access it directly—no gatekeepers, no ivory tower historians rewriting our past. Just you, the truth, and history that speaks for itself.

We have a team working day and night—literally. One team here, another on the other side of the planet, working while the first one sleeps—all toward one goal: putting this collection into your hands.

What I’m about to show you in the next few months will blow your mind. And yet, that’s just scratching the surface.

This is my next battle—and I’d like to enlist you to help me.

Something big is coming.

Something historic. Just like with TheBlaze, it won’t belong to me. It’ll belong to you: a movement to rekindle curiosity, restore critical thinking, and reignite belief in something higher than the chaos on our streets.

If you want to be part of this from day one, sign up for my newsletter.

Because if Los Angeles teaches us anything this week, it’s that the world we feared is here. But if history teaches us anything, it’s that ordinary people, led by truth, can still change everything.

Will you join me again on this venture?

Newsom lets his REAL goal SLIP while daring Trump to arrest him

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently dared President Trump to arrest him for protecting illegal immigrants. But Glenn Beck points out the bigger news that Newsom accidentally dropped: when he claimed Trump "wants a civil war,” he was self-diagnosing. That's what the LA riots are really about, Glenn argues.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I want to take you back to Los Angeles here for just a second.

To Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom is -- I mean, what is he?

What is he playing at?

I don't even know what he's trying to do. He's all over the board.

Play cut 11. Here he is playing tough guy. Listen to this.

VOICE: Get your hands off these poor people who are just trying to live their lives, man. Live their lives.

Pay their taxes. Ten years. The fear, the horror, come after me. Arrest me. Let's just get this over with. Tough guy. You know, I don't give a damn. But I care about my community. I care about this community. The hell are they doing? These guys need to grow up, they need to stop, and we need to push back. And I'm sorry to be so clear.

STU: I'm sorry to be so clear.

GLENN: I --

VOICE: So, Tom, arrest me.

GLENN: Tom, do it. Here he is, he is saying these are people who come in here and pay their taxes.

What was arrested on Friday?

A rapist. A murderer. People who are not here just paying their taxes, trying to live a quiet life and be who they are.

They are being who they are.

Unfortunately, every time they are who they are, they end up with another ten-year sentence.

And somehow or another, in California, you're not paying for those crimes. You're just out in the streets.

That's who was arrested on Friday.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And he's playing tough guy.

STU: It's important to note this. A lot of times, when these debates happen that we've had a million times.

We tend to go through the same different channels we've been in before.

This is -- we could have a debate about whether ICE should go to a random Home Depot and arrest 45 immigrants, legal immigrants, looking for work.

GLENN: Sure.

STU: I would support that.

Because I think the law is important.

GLENN: Me too.

STU: However, you can have that debate. And that is the debate that we have been having.

This particular grimace action, had nothing to do with that.

The one we're talking about, went after actual criminals.

They went after --

GLENN: Criminals.

STU: Rapists. And all sorts of terrible criminals.

That was the target of this action.

It has nothing to do with the people we're talking about. And I can't get over how bad Gavin Newsom is on this clip.

It is the performance is terrible.

He gave versions of this to like six different media sources.

And you can tell he's like struggling to find his way into, I want to say, arrest me tough guy.

He wants to say that so badly.

But like, what that was, was a much worse version of what Joe Biden tried to do over and over again.

With like, well, I meet him under the bleachers, at the football field. And I punch him in the face. It's that same terrible thing, where Democrats have like manifested what they believed tough men talk like.

GLENN: Right! Because they don't know --

STU: And they try to re-create it in person.

It's pathetic.

GLENN: Because they're not real men.

STU: No.

GLENN: They don't understand real strength.

They think men just talk tough like, go ahead!

I'll beat you up in the back of the school, at 3 o'clock this afternoon! That's not men.

Those are little boys.

And that's -- that's who the men on the left are: Little boys.

They have no idea.

And then he -- he starts with a little bit of truth. In this next clip.

He starts with saying, look, I'm sane, you're sane.

But listen to what it goes into.

Because they always do this.

They tell you who they are, and what they're planning on doing.

Cut three.

VOICE: Stop these guys.

These idiots, that are jumping up on cars. That are burning these way months. These people, that's a disgrace.

And the impact they're having on our democracy -- there's a lot at risk here.

I mean, this is not just a simple act of disobedience. They should be arrested, they should be held accountable.

Anyone would tax any innocent person, including a law enforcement person that is lawfully doing their job! They're members of our communities, just like everybody else.

They go to the same churches. They're good human beings. Just because we don't like Donald Trump. Just because we don't like their orders. Doesn't mean you have the right to hurt or harm people.

And that goes for them as well.

We're holding everybody to a higher level of accountability. But that's not what Trump is after.

He's not for peacemaking. He's here for war.

He wants a civil war in America. Not just here. He's testing the boundaries by nationalizing the federal guard.

GLENN: Okay. That's all you need to know.

What are they doing? They want war. They want Civil War on the streets.

And they're testing their boundaries.

That's exactly what's happening right now with the left.

They want Civil War. And they're testing their boundary.

Period.

STU: Remember, we do know of organizations that basically have advocated for this.

And many of them are on the streets right now.

GLENN: The ones that are printing the signs for the people who carry in the streets.

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

We know who the organizers are. This is why I said earlier today.

And Donald Trump and the FBI, they need to start arresting the organizers. Don't go after the people on the street!

Go after the money. Go after the organizers.

The ones who are -- look at this guy. This guy is one of the organizers.

I just would like to call him revolutionary Ron. That's what I called him when I first introduced you to him, back in 2010.

Here he is. At a UCLA, in defense of La Raza. Now, listen to this guy. This is 14 years ago. Listen to this.

VOICE: A revolutionary, Mexican organization here, we understand what they're saying. You're right. This is not just about Mexico. This is about a global struggle against imperialism and capitalism. Our enemy is the same enemy as Hugo Chavez. That Hugo Chavez said, our enemy is the same enemy that keeps Africa poor. Our enemy is the same enemy that keeps Asia poor.

Our enemy is capitalism and imperialism.

GLENN: Okay, that's this guy. Revolutionary Ron, back in 2011. He was talking about his revolutionary Mexican organization called del Barrio

Union del Barrio is involved in the organization of some of these -- these protests, if you will.

Okay?

So they're on the ground.

Now, here he is, recently talking about his community's resistance to ICE. Listen to this. Cut seven.

VOICE: But what they didn't think was going to happen, was that the people would resist and fight back.

And that's exactly what happened in Paramount and in Compton, California.

Where for eight and a half hours, the people combating a man in the streets, against the Border Patrol. And after eight and a half hours of battle, and it was a battle.

Because there were people throwing back tear gas. People throwing back anything they could to defend themselves and the workers that were surrounded by over 100 Border Patrol agents.

After eight and a half hours, the Border Patrol, the sheriffs had to retreat. They had to retreat because of the fierce resistance of the community. And the hundreds of workers that were in the factories around them. Were able to escape.

They were able to go to their cars and go home.

GLENN: Okay. So stop.

Did you hear what he was saying?

Remember, who was his enemy?

Capitalism. Imperialism.

All of the things that -- all of the institutions that make America, America. If you will.

Okay?

They are for the overthrowing of our government!

What is he saying this time?

He's saying, that we're only doing it because of these good people.

Exactly the same message, that Gavin Newsom is giving you.

But notice, neither of them are saying, we want revolution in the streets.

Both of them want revolution in the streets. Gavin Newsom, they always tip their hand, by telling you, what Trump is doing. Or what the left -- what the right is doing.

It's always projection. It's what they're doing.

Okay?

So Gavin Newsom says this. The guy from del Barrio. He is saying the same thing in all of his other speeches.

And we have it. We are going to be going over all of this on Wednesday night's TV show.

And he's only one of these clowns.

And I'm not saying that he's the leader of it, or anything else.

He's the leader of his little group, and they are involved with a whole bunch of other groups.

Those groups need to be investigated.

I mean, it's not hard. You have them on tape.

By the way, he's a high school history teacher in California.

And he talks about how he is making all of his students into revolutionaries.

That's their real -- that's their real goal. Okay.

So here's the high school teacher saying, revolutionary, enemy is capitalism. Imperialism.

We've got to resist Donald Trump and what they were doing. By arresting these people.

Again, look at the list of the people that they were arresting.

And tell me that you were for that.

And then the other turn of the table is to make this all again, look like Donald Trump's fall.

Listen to this representative of California, Democrat, of course.

Gill Cisneros, listen to this. Cut ten.

VOICE: The president of Israel, he tried to instigate a confrontation between, whether it be law enforcement, the National Guard, and the citizens of Los Angeles, Southern California.

To serve his purpose. And that could be -- as Lucia said. To distract from this horrible economy, that he has created.

The tariffs. Plan that isn't working.

I mean, he's even killing the Kennedy center right now.

But he is trying to distract this.

And really, he's trying to force California to borrow a term from Game of Thrones, bend the knee to his will.

And we're not going to do that. And I'm so proud of our governor right now. And the interview that he gave. But everything that's going on right now, is of Donald Trump's creation. And making.

And, you know, they are literally pulling people off the street.

GLENN: No. No. They're literally not doing that.

But okay.

So what is he saying here?

He's saying, Donald Trump is just doing this, so you will bend a knee.

And he's trying force a war between the federal government and the good people of California.

I'm sorry. Good people of California, but if that's you I see on TV, in the black garb, setting cars on fire. Dancing in the streets.

You know, how did -- what was it? CNN. No. ABC.

Please, play the ABC cut, on how they were describing these very, very good Californians, in the streets.

Listen to this.

VOICE: Large group of people. It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there, in the wrong way.

And turn what is just a bunch of people, having fun, watching cars burning to a massive confrontation and altercation between them.

GLENN: Okay. Stop.

What are they saying there?

That if Donald Trump reacts and sends in the National Guard, or the police, you run the risk of having a confrontation, that will go poorly, and escalate.

That's exactly what the left wants to do. But listen to what he is saying.

He is describing these good people of California, as people who are just having fun, watching cars burn in the streets.

Okay. Well, let's just play that thinking out for a second.

A, I would be having fun, watching cars burn in the streets.

I would be asking myself, good heavens, what the hell is happening to our civil society. What is happening to our civilization?

So it wouldn't be fun.

But if you were having fun, just watching the cars burn in the streets, if police come in and say, hey.

Move along. Move along.

Why wouldn't you move along?

You weren't doing anything. You were just having fun, watching these cars burn in the streets.

Why would you suddenly have any kind of hostile intent. Or take the police of having hostile intent. If they were just saying, move along.

I would be expected to be told that, because a fire truck will be coming soon, to put that out. So all of California does not burn down again!

Their logic. There is no logic to anything that they're doing or saying.

Which brings me to this: Speaking of the teacher that was saying he was teaching kids how to be revolutionaries.

Let me read this.

This, I found incredible!

Apple has debunked AI reasoning hype. Apple is claiming that the New Age artificial intelligence reasoning models may not be as smart as they're making them out to be.

The study titled the illusion of thinking, understanding the strength and limitations of reasoning model via the lens of problem complexity. Blah, blah.

Here's what they say. Models, these AI large language models, they only memorize. They don't think!

Let me take you back to school.
Kids, remember this, write this down.

It's going to be on the test.

How is it that we're saying, that these large language models, are not really human.

They're not really capable of outthinking anyone.

Because they only memorize, and they don't think!

When our schools are teaching our kids, only to memorize, and not to think!
