Trump accused Democrats of SEDITION — Here’s the TRUTH

President Trump recently accused a group of Democrats of sedition and possible treason after they told the military and CIA not to follow “illegal orders” from the president. So, who’s right here? Glenn Beck breaks down this story and issues a warning: These Democrats crossed a dangerous line that has NEVER been crossed in America’s history…

GLENN: I want to talk to you about the Bubba Effect. Because the Bubba Effect is something I brought to America about 2003. And it describes a really dangerous social dynamic that will emerge when the average, everyday American citizen no longer believes in the institutions, government, media, law enforcement, our courts. And it begins with the local guy. Bubba.

Bubba. It will be Bubba against the officials. The government. Or whoever.

And Bubba might do something stupid. Something that we're like, Bubba, don't do that. What are you doing?

But he see it, and even though he might be wrong or might be misguided in the way he's doing it. Everybody kind of just looks away and goes, yeah. Yeah. Well, that's just Bubba. You know, don't worry about Bubba.

But he's right about this. You're the problem. Okay?

I've been warning since 2003 about the Bubba Effect. That at some point, it's going to happen. And it is everywhere today. And I want to show you where it is! Because I've got four different stories today.

I will take you through in the next, you know, 60 minutes. Or probably 120 minutes.

In that, you will see the Bubba Effect everywhere. And it is not just one place.

Okay? This is not an academic phrase. This is a -- this is -- this is rooted in not only American history. But in human behavior.

So let me explain. When the government looses its legitimacy, and people no longer believe the official explanations. Or the official investigations.

And there is no official moral authority, the outsider becomes the trusted insider.

Okay?

Now, let's go through this. Do you believe the explanations of what is happening on most things today?

Do you believe the explanations just of stupid stuff like, hey. Those were drones over the skies.

And we can't tell you what they are. But they were definitely not from China.

And they were definitely not from space.

They were -- you know, they are probably ours.

Do you believe that explanation?

I mean, that's the -- I mean, that could be one of the most consequential, depending on what it is.

But it really doesn't mean all that much.
Because we don't know what it is.

Okay.

But I don't believe them. Do you believe the Epstein thing is on the up and up, that we'll ever get the truth?

No. Do you believe that the investigations, either, you know, on either side, into Trump or into Trump's enemies, that -- that justice is ever going to be done?

No!

No!

No!

The shooters, do you believe the butler shooter?

Do you believe Charlie Kirk?

That thing?

Do you even know where to stand on that one?

I mean, I think I do. But I don't know!

But look at how people are saying, oh, you know what, that was an inside job. And so many people are believing it.

That's the Bubba Effect. Okay!

When a crisis hits, a shooting, a standoff, a raid. People stop siding with the government. And instead, side with Bubba. The neighbor who stands against the federal power!

Wrongdoing, becomes irrelevant. Even if Bubba is partially or completely wrong, the public's animosity towards authority is so deep, that they go to defend Bubba! Just as an act of protest.

In a way, you saw this with O.J. Simpson. You know, all the jurors later said, yeah. We knew he was guilty.

But we wanted to.

It was a former protest.

Once it starts, it begins to escalate everywhere. And then authorities have to crack down, even harder, and that causes more escalation.

Okay?

Citizens resist more fiercely. Each side starts to -- to interpret the other side as the aggressor.

Now, this is happening now in Dearborn, Michigan.

People are sick and tired of what is going on in Dearborn, Michigan. The lies about what is happening with -- with the immigrants that are coming in. With these communities that are closed off. With the clear threat that Sharia law is! With what we're seeing happening in the city council meetings. What we're seeing happening on the streets. What's happening in the communities and our country.

We feel like we're losing America. The America we grew up in. But more than that now, it's becoming clear that the faith that we've all had, that helped build this country, is coming under attack, by a very hostile force. Sharia law.

Now, no one with any credibility is doing anything.

They've been calling, you know, everybody a -- you know, an Islamophobe forever.

And so that doesn't hold any weight anymore.

Right?

So some guy comes, and he's -- he's wrapping the Koran in bacon.

Okay. Would Jesus do that?

No!

Are you thrilled and happy, that's happening. No. Is that the way to make the case?

No. But why is it being condoned or dismissed by so many people? Because of the Bubba Effect. At least he's pointing out the problem!

Sound familiar? That's the Bubba Effect.

It's not one guy on the porch with a rifle. It's about a societal tipping point. And when trust collapses, law becomes optional. Morals become optional. When institutions lose their moral credibility, power then becomes coercion.

When -- when the public assumes that corruption is the default, the truth no longer matters. And in that atmosphere, even a minor confrontation can spiral into a national crisis.

And that is exactly where we're headed.

And history is full of these moments.

1790s, the Whisky Rebellion.

What was that? They couldn't pay the soldiers. And so -- what did they do?

Well, states decided, I've got to raise the taxes. They raised taxes on whisky. Well, that turns into, that's a federal overreach. What have soldiers fought against that!

Higher taxes. Now you're taxing our whisky.

Yeah, because we have to pay you, and we don't have any way to raise our money. Well, we want our money, but we don't want taxes. And so what happened?

That overreach turned centers into folk heroes. Bleeding Kansas. That happened in the 1850s, distrust in the federal arbitration, caused vigilante on both sides to become local champions, because some were standing up for slavery and government overreach, and some were standing up for it.

Okay? Post-reconstruction. Citizens preferred the local strong man over the federal enforcement of civil rights.

Whenever trust collapses, citizens instinctively choose the closest authority in their community. Even if it is flawed.

You will defend even the wrong guy. Not because he's right. But because the system is wrong. And that is the real danger of the Bubba Effect.

It's not a call to rebellion. It's a warning, that unchecked corruption eventually produces rebellion, spontaneously.

It always happens. And the Bubba Effect. Is a -- is a natural consequence of a nation that mocks accountability. Do you think accountability is being mocked?

You're held accountable. Is anybody else.

It punishes dissent. Are -- no matter which side you're on!

You're either a communist or a Nazi, and you need to be shut up. It hides behind bureaucracy.

Well, we can't release that. Because we don't have all the details. Because, well, this is an ongoing investigation. And an investigation that nobody believes.

And then it expects unquestioning obedience.

Trust us. There's nothing to see here.

The Bubba Effect is a symptom of a republic in time line. Not the cause of it.

Now, let me show you a different kind of Bubba Effect.

And this one, this one -- well, let me just play it. Came out a couple of days ago. Here are the tells me putting together, something that is aimed directly towards the Bubbas in the military and the CIA.

Listen! I'm Senator Alyssa Sockett.

VOICE: Senator Mark Kelly.
VOICE: Representative Chris Deluzio.

VOICE: Congressman Matt (inaudible).

VOICE: Representative Chrissy Houlahan.

VOICE: Congressman Jason Kraut.

VOICE: I was a captain in the United States Navy.

VOICE: Former CIA officer.

VOICE: Former Navy.

VOICE: Former paratrooper and Army ranger.
VOICE: Former intelligence officer.

VOICE: Former Air Force.

VOICE: We want tow speak directly to members of the military, and the intelligence community.

VOICE: Who take risks each day to keep Americans safe.
VOICE: We know you're under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military.
VOICE: But that trust is at risk.
VOICE: This administration is pitting our uniformed military.
VOICE: And intelligence community professionals.

VOICE: Against American citizens.
VOICE: Like us, you all swore an oath.

VOICE: To protect and defend this Constitution.

VOICE: Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.

VOICE: Our laws are clear, you can refuse illegal orders.

VOICE: You can refuse illegal orders.
VOICE: You must refuse illegal orders.

VOICE: No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.

VOICE: We know this is hard, and that it's a difficult time to be a public servant.

VOICE: But whether you're serving in a CIA.

VOICE: The Army.
VOICE: The Navy.
VOICE: The Air Force.

VOICE: Your vigilance is critical.

VOICE: Know that we have your back.

VOICE: Because now, more than ever.

VOICE: The American people need you.

VOICE: We need to you stand up for our laws.

VOICE: Our Constitution.

VOICE: And who we are as Americans.

VOICE: Don't give up.
VOICE: Don't give up.
VOICE: Don't give up.

VOICE: Don't give up the ship.

GLENN: All right. I want to talk to you about that. Because this is causing all kinds of problems.

Because now Donald Trump has responded and said, they should be executed.

They should not be executed. However, I do believe this is seditious. And I'll explain the difference between treason and sedition here in just a second. And show you how this is the Bubba effect, just a different version of it in just a second. I'll take you through history. First, let me tell you about JASE Medical. We live in an age where everything seems instant. You know, meds filled the same day, clinics on every corner. Delivery in about an hour.

And we start to believe the system is bulletproof. But it's not. It will work exactly the way we need it to work, when we need it to work, as long as it can.

All it takes is one shortage, one storm, one travel delay. One overloaded pharmacy. And suddenly, the whole modern convenience machine grinds to a halt. We've seen this in our own lifetime in the last five years.

You and your family. They need medication. When they need it, at that exact moment. There's no alternative plan. But JASE Medical is that alternate plan.

They have created the JASE case. It's a set of emergency antibiotics and essential medications prescribed by a licensed medical professional and shipped directly to you.

So you're not at the mercy of the system. That, you know, that only works, in case nothing goes wrong.

It's practical. You do a simple, online consultation. Doctors review it. And your medications arrive ready for you to store, for years if you need. They sit in your home.

Quietly, until the day, modern life stops being modern. And when you order your JASE case today. You'll use the promo code Beck.

B-E-C-K. Go to JASE. J-A-S-E.com. Get a discount. JASE.com. That promo code is Beck. Ten-second station ID.
(music)

GLENN: All right. This is not about Republicans. It's not Democrats.

It's not anything about the president, Donald Trump. This is something that no generation of American has ever seen, not in 250 years of constitutional history.

A group of sitting members of Congress.

Next year and representatives. Went on camera. And told active duty military personnel and the CIA to ignore orders of the president of the United States. They didn't whisper it.

They didn't couch it in a private memo. They release it had in a video for the entire world to see.

What message is that sending to the rest of the world?

For the first time in American political history, members of the United States Congress, openly encouraged the military to look at the commander-in-chief and say, no.

Now, this is not happen in a constitutional republic.

And it cannot happen in a nation that wants to remain one!

Now, you can say, and it's reasonable to say, "Well, this is just advice," right?

It's a reminder that you don't follow illegal orders. Sounds reasonable, until you look at history. Because history has a merciless way of identifying patterns, long before politicians will admit to them.

In the entire American experiment, there were only a handful of moments, anything like this, has occurred.

And every single one of those, was a moment that was a prelude to national fracture.

1860 to 1861.

It was the secession winter.

Southern leaders encourage officers at the federal level. And forts to abandon the union. And pledge loyalty to the states.

Not normal politics. This was the beginning of the rapture. Then came Fort Sumpter. 1870, reconstruction. Some states rejected federal authority, outright.

Sheriffs, militias, even sometimes judges refused federal directives, but Congress itself, they never told the Army to ignore the president.

In Vietnam! Members of Congress denounce the war, denounce Nixon.

Denounce Johnson. But no one ever told active duty troops, disobey the commander-in-chief.
It wasn't done!

Because every generation, up until this one. Understood something very basic.

You cannot politicize the chain of command. Without breaking the republic.

And once the military begins to decide on its own. Which orders are legitimate.

You know, which president they prefer. You no longer have since when control.

You no longer have a republic. You have faxes inside an armed institution.

And that is exactly how nations collapse. And every single one of those sitting representatives know it. Turkey. Argentina.

Spain. Egypt. Every single example the pattern is always the same.

Political parties, begin encouraging the military to resist the other side.

And the center completely collapses.

And is this the part where you need to hear me clearly.

What we saw here, this week, with this. Is not the Bubba Effect. Where ordinary citizens lies trust in authority.

Or rally behind the local guy.

No, no, no, no.

This is something far more seditious and serious. This is the institutional Bubba Effect.

Where leaders inside the government, with their own plan, the political class!

Begin urging Bubba in the military. To take size, in domestic, political disputes.

That is a very, very bright line.

The great unbroken line in American history. Unbroken in our history!

That line kept us from becoming every other failed republic.

And now, these people have stepped over it!

Now, let me take on Donald Trump. Is this treason?

No.

Treason has a very narrow definition. Thank God!

It requires aiding an enemy of the United States. Or levying war against the United States.

So this is not treason in the strict constitutional sense.

But here's a question: Isn't it something just as dangerous? Isn't it an attempt, intentional or not, to plant the idea inside the military, that the president's orders are optional!

Is it a test balloon? Is it a rehearsal? Is it a way of saying when political sides disagree with the President, the military should stand with us?

Or is it, at the very best, just completely reckless and irresponsible political theater, that forgets the most sacred principle in American governance. The military does not take sides!

Period.

Even if these lawmakers thought they were just, you know, recommending moral guidance, they were -- they believe they were just reminding the troops to refuse illegal orders.

That's not your job!

That's the job of the generals, and the job of Pete Hegseth. They do that in every classroom. Every time they're sworn in.

They're told those words! That comes from within the ranks. Not from political leadership.

They told. They told the rest of the world. That in the bloodstream of our republic now, is questioning the president.

And that is unprecedented.

It's historic. And impossible to remove he has because it breaks the guardrails.

Has THIS Islamist organization BROKEN state laws for YEARS?!

A new report accuses CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of breaking state laws with its political activism. Glenn Beck reviews this story...

GLENN: So let me go over what is -- what's happening with -- with CAIR.

You know, the Founding Fathers were obsessed over accountability.

Because they knew one thing. You know, they did. They must get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets. They studied every single system of government.

Every single republic that survived. That didn't survive.

Why didn't it survive?

They studied all forms of government. They were trying to come up with something that could -- could set people free.

And they -- they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place, because they knew, once power slips into the shadows. They knew, once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored from law, what rises is not a republic.

It's a machine. And that's what you're seeing right now. We're not living in a republic. We're living in a machine.

We -- I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever! Okay.

There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups. One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.

And they have concluded now that the political arm of CAIR, he known as CAIR action, has been operating nationwide with no legal authority, to do the things it has been doing for years now.

They're not allowed to raise money. They've been raising money. Coordinating political campaigns.

Not allowed to do it. Endorsing candidates. Not allowed to do it, they're doing it. Mobilizing voters, shaping policy, functioning as a national advocacy network.

They don't have the legal authority to do any of it. And no one has said anything.

Now, according to the report, CAIR action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.

Investigators found, state by state, that it lacks the license, the registrations. The charitable authorizations, required to legally solicit money.

Excuse me. Or conduct political activity, in any of the 22 states in which it operates. Think of that!

I know how serious this is, because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state, for Mercury One.

So we could operate. We could raise money. We could do things in those states. It's a lot of work. And if you don't do it, you go to jail. And they find out pretty quickly.

Okay?

22 states, they operate not one, zero legal authorization.

In Washington, DC, the city where CAIR action is incorporated, the department of licensing and consumer protection told investigators, they have no record of CAIR action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.

Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.

How long would you remain in business, if you never had a business license?

You think somebody would figure that out?

In a sooner time than I don't know. A couple of decades!

This report means, that the organization if true, is engaging in unlicensed inner state solicitation.

It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation. Wire fraud and false statements to the IRS. These are big things.

And this is not political rhetoric.

Are these phrases written in black and white. In the law.

And by investigators. In California, one of CAIR's most active hubs. The state attorney general has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here!

The state of California, to say, yep. That's what's happening here.

CAIR action has never registered with California's charitable registry.

Never filed the required CT1 form. And has no authorization whatsoever to request donations. But they've been doing it in California anyway.

Fundraising, selling memberships. Issuing endorsements. Mobilizing voters. All of that has been done by CAIR action. There's no record of any license. Any permission, ever. Going to CAIR. From California. That's according to their attorney general.

Wow!

That's pretty remarkable, huh? How does that happen?

It's not just the coast. It is also happening to the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West. Every state hosting its own CAIR action fundraising page, complete with the donate now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate. That's bad!

Now, here's where the stakes rise.

Because CAIR action presents itself openly, as the political arm of CAIR National.

Investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity.

Could become CAIR's national responsibility as well.

So, in other words, the parent, CAIR itself, might be held responsible.

Meaning, this is want just a rogue subdivision.

This could implicate the entire National Organization of CAIR.

Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny. It's also Texas.

And I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations. I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.

How long have we been saying this?

But every time, I have pointed out anything about CAIR, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down. That is a word, developed by people like CAIR, to shut people down, so you'll never look into them.

So what happens next?

First of all, the reports have to hold up.

Regulators now have an obligation. Not a choice. An obligation to act!

State attorneys general in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.

All of them need to take action!

The IRS, needs to take action. Investigate tax exempt fraud. Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations.

Anything coming from overseas.

Oh, I can't imagine it. They're so buttoned up, right now.

DC regulators may determine whether CAIR actions entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.

But here's the deeper question. And it's not bureaucratic. This one is constitutional.

Can the United States tolerate an influence machine, that operates outside of the legal framework, designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?

If I hear one more time, talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated. Fine. Investigate.

I'm not against it.

Investigate.

Why aren't you saying anything about CAIR?

It feels like it might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.

Why aren't you saying anything about this?

Because here it is! It's not like, hey. I wonder why.

This is it! This is it! This isn't about silencing CAIR. Muslim Americans are -- that are full citizens, they have every right to speak. Every right to vote. Every right to organize. Participate in public life. No question! They can disagree with me, all they want.

But no organization. None! Not mine. Not yours. Not theirs. None. Should operate a nationwide political network, in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow!

That's called a fourth branch of government!

That's how a fourth branch goes.

By the way, CAIR has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security. Et cetera, et cetera. This organization has done it!

This is -- you cannot have a fourth branch of government.

They must abide by the laws.

No -- you can't have a branch that nobody elected. Nobody oversees.

Nobody holds accountable.

We talked about this yesterday, on yesterday's podcast. So what needs to happen is total transparency. CAIR action has to release its filings. Its donor structure. Its compliance records, if they exist. Equal enforcement under the law. I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.

Look, if AIPAC is doing the same thing. AIPAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
I want it equal. I want constitutional rule.

If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental, Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does CAIR action.

And if CAIR action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists, and pro-Israel and conservative groups. The law cannot be selective. It can't be!

I don't know how that's controversial in today's world. But somehow or another, they will find a way.

The Feds have to review all of this. If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.

Americans deserve to know what exactly, who is influencing our elections. Who is shaping our policy? Who is raising money in their state?

Especially physical the organization claims political authority, that it doesn't legally possess.

Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson. When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum!

Unregulated, political power abhors a free people. So while it's about CAIR, it's not about Muslim Americans. It's not about religion.

As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.

One standard for everyone or no standard at all!

And that more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

Glenn Beck WARNS Democrats Will Return with VENGEANCE in 2026 | Glenn TV | Ep 473

America is entering a year of historic upheaval from Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the spiritual shock that followed, to Trump’s tariff revolution, China’s rare-earth war, collapsing energy grids, AI displacement, and the looming fights over Taiwan and Venezuela. Glenn sits down with BlazeTV hosts ‪@deaceshow‬ and ‪@lizwheeler‬ along with his head researcher Jason Buttrill, to break down the biggest stories of 2025. Plus, they each give their most explosive prediction for 2026 that could shape our politics, economy, national security, and civil rights in ways Americans have never experienced before.

Trump Just SHATTERED the “Expert Class” - And the Deep State is in Total Panic

For nearly a century, Washington DC has been ruled by an unelected “expert class” operating as an unconstitutional fourth branch of government — accountable to no one, removable by no president, and shielded from all consequences. Glenn breaks down why Trump’s firing of the Federal Trade Commissioner could finally dismantle the 1935 precedent that empowered technocrats, how Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed the Supreme Court’s embrace of expert rule, and why America cannot survive a government run by people who never face the voters and never pay for their failures.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So President Donald Trump fired the federal trade commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Federal Trade Commission is an administrative position. I mean, this is under -- the head of the federal trade commission is a cabinet member.

And if the justices uphold Trump's firing of Slaughter, that will overturn a precedent that was horrible, that was set in 1935. Remember, 1935, we're flirting with fascism. You know, everybody thinks. Because they haven't seen the horrors of fascism yet.

Everybody thinks fascism is neat, blah, blah. So what they do is they say that this is an independent person. And the president can't fire them. Because they're, you know, an independent agency.

Well, wait. That would make a fourth branch of government. Our Constitution is really clear.

There is no such thing as a fourth branch of government. Right?

So that's what they're deciding. Now, here is Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is talking about how we really need to listen to the experts. Cut four.

VOICE: Because presidents have accepted that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency. That it is in the best interest of the American people to have certain kinds of issues, handled by experts. Who, and I think you -- in your colloquy, Justice Kagan, have identified the fact that these boards are not only experts, but they're also nonpartisan. So the -- the seats are actually distributed in such a way, that we are presumably eliminating political influence because we're trying to get to science and data and actual facts, related to how these decisions are made.

And so the real risk, I think, of allowing non- -- of allowing these kinds of decisions to be made by the president, of saying, everybody can just be removed when I come in, is that we will get away from those very important policy considerations.

VOICE: We will get away from US policy considerations, and it will create opportunities for all kinds of problems that Congress and prior presidents wanted to avoid, risks that flow inevitably, just given human nature, the realities of the world that we live in.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, remember, what she's saying here is, we have to have experts.

We have to have experts. We have to have experts that don't really answer to anybody. Okay?

They're appointed. And then they're just there. This from a, quote, judicial expert, who cannot define a woman, because she's not a doctor.
She's not a scientist.

She needs an expert to define a woman.
That's how insane her thinking is. Okay?

Now, I would just like to ask the Supreme Court, when you want things run by experts, do you mean things like the State Department, or the counsel of foreign relations, that have gotten us into these endless war wars for 100 years?

Because these are the things that Woodrow Wilson wanted. He wanted the country run by experts.

Okay. So is it like the Council of Foreign Relations, that keep getting us into these endless wars.

Or is it more like the Fed, that directs our fiscal policy, that has driven us into $38 trillion of at the time. We have all powerful banks. That strangely all belong to the fed. And endless bailouts for those banks. Are those the experts that you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the experts that are doctors, that gave the country sterilizations, lobotomies, transgender surgeries. You know, or should we listen to the experts, like the ones that are now speaking in Illinois, to get us death on demand like Canada has, with their MAID assisted suicide, which is now the third largest killer in Canada. MAID, assisted suicide, third largest killer in Canada. Experts are saying, we now need it here, and they're pushing for it in Illinois. Or should we listen to the experts? And I think many of them are the same experts strangely, that brought us COVID. Yeah. That was an expert thing. They were trying to protect us. Because they need to do this for our protection. So direct from the labs in China with the help of the American experts like Fauci. We almost put the world out.

Should we listen to those guys?

Or the experts that brought us masking, and Home Depot is absolutely safe. But Ace Hardware wants to kill grandma. Which are the experts that we want? That we want to make sure that we have in our lives? That they don't answer, or can't be fired by anybody. Because I'm pretty full up on the experts, myself. I don't know.

But you're right. These experts would keep the president in check, and they would keep Congress in check. And you in check!

And the Supreme Court, which would be really great. You know, and you know who else they would keep in check? The people.

So, wow, it seems like we would just be a nation run by experts, and our Constitution would be out the window, because that's a fourth branch!

And if you don't believe me, that, you know, these experts never pay a price. Can you name a single expert?

Give me a name of an expert, that gave us any of the things that I just told you about.

Give me the name. I mean, give me the name of one of them. Give me the name of one of them that went to jail. Give me the name of one expert that has been discredited.

You know, where your name will be mud in this town. Do you know where that came from?

Your name is going to be mud. It's not M-U-D. It's M-U-D-D, that comes from Dr. Samuel Mudd. Okay? He was a docks man. He was an expert. He was that set John Wilkes Booth' broken leg. He made crutches. He let him stay there for a while. He claimed he didn't know him, but he did know him.

In fact, one of the reasons they proved it.

Is because when he pulled the boots off -- when he pulled both of his boots off, right there, in the back, you couldn't have missed it. It said "John Wilkes Booth."

He's like, I have no idea who he was.

Yeah. Well, you knew him in advance. This was a predetermined outpost where he could stay. It's clear you could know him.

The guy was still discredited, we still use his name today. Your name will be mud in this town.

And we think that it's like dirt, mixed with water kind of mud. No, it's M-U-D-D, Dr. Mudd. The expert that was so discredited, went to jail, paid for his part of the assassination of -- of Lincoln.

Give me the name of one of the experts in the last 100 years, that has brought us any of the trials and the tribulations. The things that have almost brought us to our knees. Give me the name of one of them. Can't!

Because once an expert class, they don't answer to anyone. So they never go to jail.

Wow! Doesn't that sound familiar. People never going to jail!

There's a rant that's going around right now, that I did in 2020. And everybody is like, see. He's talking about Pam Bondi.

No, no. I got to play this for you, a little later on in the program. But I want to get to the experts and what the Constitution actually says about that. Because you don't need my opinion. What you need are the actual facts. So you can stand up and say, yeah. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson is an idiot. Okay?

And she's really not an expert on anything. Especially the Constitution. You need the facts, on what the Founders said. Because the Founders would be absolutely against what they did in 1935.

Because that just -- what does it do?

It just sets up a fourth branch of government.

EXPLAINED: Why the Warner-Netflix/Paramount Merger is DANGEROUS for All of Us

The biggest media merger in modern history is unfolding, and Glenn Beck warns it’s the most dangerous consolidation of power America has faced in decades. With six corporations already controlling 90% of the nation’s news and entertainment, a Warner-Netflix or Warner-Paramount megacorporation would create an unstoppable information cartel. Glenn exposes how “too big to fail” thinking is repeating itself, how global elites and “experts” are tightening their grip, and why handing our entire cultural narrative to a handful of companies is a direct threat to freedom. The hour is late — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

GLENN: By the way, it's never good when you consolidate power. It's never good.

And what is going on now, with this Netflix Warner Brothers paramount stuff, I don't care if Larry Ellison is a conservative or not.

No one should have that much power.

I did a show, gosh, four years ago. I don't even remember when I did it.

We looked it up. In the 1980s. 19 percent of American media was owned by over 50 companies.

Forty years later, 90 percent of the media is watched and controlled by six companies.

National Amusements, the Red Stone Family controls CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, gaming and internet. Simon & Schuster Books. That's all one.

Disney, ABC, ESPN, History Channel, Marvel, Star Wars, video games and print.

TimeWarner controls CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, and print media like TIME. Comcast, MSNBC, NBC.

CNBC, Telemundo, the Internet.

New Corp. Fox. National Geographic. Ton of others. Sony, with a ton of movies, music and more. The big six. They're valued at nearly $500 billion.

Now, this is something I put together five years ago. So I don't even know. This is probably not even valid even today.

And now we're talking about Netflix, Warner Brothers. Paramount, into all of these one giant corporation. It's wrong! It's wrong!

We can't keep putting all -- everything into the hands of just a few! It's what's killing us!

We've got to spread this around. We can't -- the government cannot okay mergers like this.

They're big enough he has

What happened -- what happened when the banks went under, or almost went under in '08. What did they say the problem was?

They said the banks are too big to fail.

Too big to fail.

Because they were providing all of the services, everybody needs. All the time. And there's only a handful of them.

So if they fall, then everything falls.

Right?

That was the problem. So what did we do to fix it?

We made them bigger!

We let them merge with other banks, and gobble up other things!

And started taking on the local banks.

And so now, your banks that were too big to fail. Are now even bigger. And their failure would be even worse!

What is wrong with us?

Seriously, we're not this stupid.

We're not this stupid.

I think we're just this comfortable.

We just think the experts have a plan. No. The experts don't have a plan.

Their plan is stupid. Their plan is to make it bigger.

Every time it fails. Make it bigger. Push it up.

Make it more global.

No. Haven't you seen what the entire world is like?

The entire world is over-leveraged. The entire world is on the edge.

The entire world is being redesigned.
So what do we do? We don't allow them to make things bigger! We need to start taking more individual and local control of things. They're making it bigger. Which will make the problem bigger. And make the problem so big, you won't be able to do anything about it, because all the experts. All of the heads. They'll all -- there will be six of them. And they will all be sitting in one room.

And they will all be making the instigations. And with them, making those decisions will be all the heads of all the countries around the world, that you're not going to have a say in any of that. They're already trying to do it with the WEF.

But if -- if the Supreme Court says, no, experts matter. And the president can't fire them. You will not have any control over anything!

We're at this place, where we can back out. We can turn around.

We can do it.

It's not too late. But the hour is growing very late.

I don't know about you, I don't like being this.

Up to the edge, you know what I mean?

I would rather have lots of breathing room, between me and the edge of the cliff.

But we don't have that anymore.

Everything has to be done right.

And we have to pay attention.

And the worst thing we can do is make things bigger.

Dream big, think small.
