Trump Campaign Spox SLAMS FBI Suggestion That He Was Hit by Glass

In his congressional testimony, FBI Director Christopher Wray suggested that former president Donald Trump may have been hit with a glass shard, not a bullet. But Trump 2024 Deputy Communications Director Caroline Sunshine joins Glenn to reject this narrative – which even the New York Times has debunked. She also discusses whether Trump is a changed man after surviving the assassination attempt: “I think the bullet that grazed him may have changed the country more.” She also slams the media for “wasting time” arguing whether it was glass or a bullet when 2 things are clear: someone wanted to assassinate Trump and another American is dead. Caroline Sunshine further comments on the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and whether Kamala Harris will actually be the Democrats’ presidential nominee.

GLENN: This is the Glenn Beck Program.

So the Secret Service is encouraging President Trump to stop with the outdoor rallies. I think that diminishes his rallies, and takes some of the oxygen out. But I'm not President Trump.

I wasn't just shot. And that has got to change people. So we're looking to see what he's going to decide. And how he's handling things, including Christopher Wray coming up, and testifying in front of Congress and saying, you know, we're not sure he was actually shot. We're not sure that was a bullet. Might have been glass, I guess from Kamala's glass ceiling that she broke. Or, you know, maybe it was shrapnel. No. Read the New York Times. It was a bullet. It is so insane how these conspiracy theories come from the left, and they just expand and expand and expand on them.

Caroline Sunshine is with us. She's the 2024 Deputy Communications Director for Donald Trump.

First of all, Caroline, how are you, the staff, and the president?

CAROLINE: Well, we are always better than Joe Biden, outside the hours of 10:00 and 4:00 p.m. I can tell you that.
(laughter)
Always.

But I guess it looks like the Democratic Party is trying to be unburdened by what has been, and have Joe step down. And would be the -- the selected, but not elected Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket.

GLENN: Yes. Yeah. Crazy.

CAROLINE: No, I laugh. Yeah. It is.

It's crazy. It's undemocratic is what it is. Like I said, selected, but not elected. It is crazy.

But you come on here in good spirits and laughing, because I have the honor of working for Donald J. Trump who is a man who after, you know, mere seconds after an assassin's bullet.

And it was a bullet, Glenn. As you just said, came within a millimeter of his life. This man then got to his seat and said, fight, fight, fight. And then went on to have a phenomenal week in Milwaukee, unifying the complete Republican Party behind him.

You just saw some clips released from the great phenomenal Bryson Dechambeau. I think getting to see some of President Trump's, you know, humorous side. So everybody is in very high spirits.

President Trump, I call him the great American warrior because I think Ronald Reagan was the great communicator, another US president, great US president, who had a brush with the assassin's bullet. But President Trump is the great American warrior. And as he said, you know, I'm going to talk about this once. I'm going to share it. Share it with candor as he did on the stage in Milwaukee, and then I will move on. And then I will get back to work. And that's exactly what he's done. And it's really inspiring to work for somebody. Such a remarkable leader. There's just few like him. Yeah.

GLENN: So everybody that I talked to, that at all liked Donald Trump, or thought that, you know, I'm thinking about voting for him. Everybody that I know, that talked to him. They saw him at the convention and said, he is a changed man. He is a different man.

And not in -- just I guess in his seriousness. The gravitas of it. Did the bullet change him?

CAROLINE: I've been asked this question a lot, again. It's a great question. I've been asked it a lot. I think the bullet that grazed him may have changed the country more.

And the reason I say that, is because I think when that bullet came within a millimeter of President Trump's life, the country realized, it's not him, then who? You know, if President Trump isn't in this arena, who is there to actually fight for a secure border and an economy where, I mean, people can actually have a chance at the American dream, let alone be able to go to the grocery store, and you buy three items, and all of a sudden you go, how is this $100?

And then more generally, I think, for the forgotten men and women of this country. Who prior to President Trump's arrival on the political scene, really had no authentic champion, and certainly not one of the caliber of Donald J. Trump.

So I think that is really what changed. I think it was a watershed moment for the country. I think it's one of those moments where everybody is going to look back and they will remember where they were standing and who they were with, when it happens.

But I also look as I said, the more remarkable, what President Trump survived is his reaction.

Who has that reaction? Within seconds of having a bullet come within a millimeter of your life, you're up on your feet with blood still on your face, very much still in clear and present danger.

And you get up and you say, fight, fight, fight! And I do think that President Trump is now in this unique category of people who I'm sure you know people like this, Glenn. Who have had a brush with death, there is a unique category of people, who have come right to that edge, of the thing that I think most of us fear, deep down. In a way. Which is death.

We believe in a life after this one. But death is a scary thing. And you watch this man, come within a millimeter of his life. Building face-to-face with death. Within seconds back on his feet. And also, back to work.

And I have a lot of reverence to the men and women in our military. And our veterans. And like a long history in our country, of, you know, I look at the stories of Medal of Honor recipients. Past and present.

You know, you just see the valor. The fight. You're in awe of an act like that. And I just think that this country is deserving of someone like President Trump, who had a brush with the assassin's bullet like he said. He's the man who took a bullet for democracy. And then ten days later, this man does not need to go retreat to Camp David for a week. Or take a nap for two years. Or whatever it is. This man is like, I'm ready to get back to work for you. You know.

GLENN: Caroline, so is he going to listen to the Secret Service?

Caroline.

CAROLINE: Yeah. We're really grateful for the Secret Service. And I want to say there's a distinction, right? Between the Secret Service leadership in Washington, DC. And, you know, the rank-and-file Secret Service agents, who do a phenomenal job protecting President Trump. Who give their -- who are quite willing to give their lives to President Trump. As you saw in Pennsylvania.

And, you know, there's been a lot of talk on outside, versus inside. Rallies. I would say this, it's the job of the Secret Service to protect president whether a rally is inside or outside. And President Trump in the past has held many rallies that are in your arena. He held many rallies that are outdoors. He just goes where the people go.

So we -- you know, we want these investigations to play out at the deep sea level.

Because, of course, the American people deserve answers.

We don't have time to be wasting, hearing Christopher Wray go through the semantics, of was it shrapnel? Was it a bullet?

It was an assassination attempt on a former US president's life. He's been examined by esteemed physician, Ronny Jackson. Great physician with President Trump's physician during his time in the White House. Excellent physician. He has examined it.

He's seen the reports. Seriously, I don't know why we're wasting time on that. When, by the way, it wasn't just an assassin's bullet that grazed President Trump. Corey Comperatore is dead.

His wife is left without a husband. His children are left without a father. We had multiple people injured.

And we're wasting time on shrapnel versus bullet? And, Glenn, I got to tell you. I can't believe I'm going to say this.

This is the first time in a long time I've heard AOC ask a question more intelligent than Christopher Wray, when she asked the question: Hey, you know, if you know that the standard AR-15 has a range of, you know, 500 yards, why isn't that factored into your perimeter calculations? But I was shocked.

GLENN: I know.

CAROLINE: The first time there's bipartisan consensus in Washington, DC, for the first time in a long time, as there should be. But anyway, like I said, President Trump, he just gets right back to work. And he's going to be headed back on the road. He's headed to Minnesota. He will be headed to Pennsylvania. He's back on the road. You know, it's sort of a rain or shine, indoor or outdoor type thing.

We're very grateful and confident for the men and women who served President Trump in the Secret Service.

And as President Trump has said, he's getting back to work. And so are the people. Because that's the other thing too, right? Glenn. Nobody should be afraid to attend a peaceful political rally in the United States of America.
Nobody should be afraid to do that.

Nobody should be afraid to lose their life at a peaceful political rally. And I know you've seen our rallies. Our rallies are extraordinary. There's just something special about them. There's something special about the energy.

GLENN: There is.

CAROLINE: There's something special about thousands of people who love our country coming together in one place. And I think, again, what was remarkable about president Trump's reaction, if you remember watching that thing back, when it happens in those first moments, the crowd understandably, terrified, ducking, afraid. That is a normal human reaction to have.

But the second President Trump gets back to his feet and says, fight, fight, fight, within five seconds of that bullet grazing -- coming within a millimeter of his life, that crowd was calm.

He actually -- likely, President Trump saved lives that day, with that reaction. It's likely that that reaction stopped, you know, a stampede.

GLENN: I will tell you. I will tell you that when I watched it. I saw it live.

And when -- when he went down, I mean, a lump went to my throat immediately. And -- because I knew what was happening. And I thought, oh, my God, man. They've hit the president.

And I had that lump in my throat. And when he stood up, and I could hear him say, wait. Wait. Wait.

And he stood up, and then he looked over the shoulder of one of the agents and puts his arm out. I was crying for an entirely different reason.

That fast, it turned around in me. And it went from horror and shock, to mainstream pride and admiration. It was -- it was remarkable.

Caroline, tell me, how is he going to switch gears with Kamala? I'm sure he's not concerned about it. And does he believe that she's actually going to be the nominee?

CAROLINE: Well, as I said, you watch the Democratic Party, trying to be unburdened by what has been, and thinking that if they just do a little switcheroo here, you know, having Joe step down and putting Kamala up at the top of the ticket, that that somehow changes thing. But it doesn't. Because Joe Biden's record is Kamala Harris' record, and it's the Democrat Party's record. Look at her first few speeches. What is she saying?

How much she loves Joe. Joe has been so great. I mean, she's owning this, full force, and as I expect her to.

Nobody has had more of a front row seat to both Joe Biden's cognitive decline, and concealing that from the American people, than her, Kamala Harris.

But then look at her own words when she said, she was the last person in the room, when Joe Biden was executing his abysmal withdrawal of Afghanistan, that resulted in the lives of 13 US service members losing their lives. Joe Biden of course couldn't remember or acknowledge those on the debate stage.

The point is, she was -- she was the last person in the situation room. She's likely been the last person in the room for many of those positions.

But here's the thing, as much as Joe Biden's record is Kamala Harris' record. She's also dangerously liberal. You know this. She comes from the failed State of California. So this is a women, who if given the chance, would turn this country into California. She is the border czar, who has never been to the border.

We heard those reports. You have just seen, right? Of her current Border Patrol chief and former border patrol chief, both saying, yeah. We never got a phone call from her.

You know, she's never called. No. She's never called. Again, well, you know what has happened. Since she never called. We had almost 20 hill. Maybe more. Illegal immigrants come across our Southern border. We've had 30 tons of fentanyl. We've had 360 names off the terror watchlist come across our Southern border on her watch. That's enough fentanyl, by the way, to kill every American citizen multiple times over.

And she's not changing. She was just in Houston yesterday. That is a one hour flight. One hour commercial flight from the US border. Forty-five minutes if you fly private like her. Didn't go.

And that's not because of incompetence. That's because of negligence. She doesn't want to secure the border. If we don't have a border, we don't have a country. She doesn't want to secure the border. She wants to defund ICE. She's at the Border Patrol -- invokes scenes of slavery. This is not a woman who cares about law and order.

It's actually part of her worldview. She's far more left than Joe Biden on a lot of issues. She's dangerously liberal. She really more closely resembles Barack Obama than Joe Biden in many ways, in terms of policy and worldview.

GLENN: Caroline Sunshine, thank you so much. And my best to everybody on the team. We have been praying not only for the president and his family. But also everybody on the team. Stay safe. Thank you, Caroline.

CAROLINE: Thank you. Thank you.

GLENN: You bet. Thank you.

Brand new show takes you backstage with Glenn

Everything changes January 5th

Enter your email to be the first in line for groundbreaking Torch reveals:

Hey, it’s Jason Buttrill, Glenn’s head writer and chief researcher.

Have you ever wondered what’s going on behind the scenes of Glenn’s radio show?

What’s happening right before he starts the show? How do he and his staff get ready? Is it chaotic during the show as Glenn adapts to breaking news?

Glenn has decided to bring you all in on the action. Introducing the Torch Insider Feed—a new segment running throughout the daily radio program. I’ll be your guide during the entire show, popping in just before it starts and at other times when non-Insiders typically see commercials.

I’m going to give you a behind-the-scenes inside look that hasn’t been seen before.

But beyond that, we’re going even deeper. We’ll use Glenn’s new content tools to rapidly access the information he’s shared with you over the past two decades—all the dots connected, all the history explained… EVERYTHING. And we’ll—somehow—fit it all in before Glenn returns from commercial.

As an Insider, while Glenn does his daily radio program, you and I will push the boundaries of what we can learn and experience during his show. You’ll be able to comment on everything we’re talking about, and I’ll respond in real time. It truly is a one-of-a-kind experience that I don’t believe has ever been attempted before.

Coming January 2026.

This plan could FINALLY FIX our broken immigration system

Is it enough to just stop ILLEGAL immigration in America? Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) joins Glenn Beck to explain his proposal to stop ALL immigration until we fix our broken system…

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Anyway, let me go to Chip Roy.

Hello, Chip, how are you, sir?

CHIP: Glenn, how are you? Merry Christmas, bro.

GLENN: Merry Christmas. This is our Congressman from the great state of Texas for Texas attorney general.

Talk to me about your bill on immigration.
Does it have a chance -- tell me what it is. And I want to know if it has a chance of passing.

CHIP: Sure. I mean, you know, you opened this segment by talking about our need to focus on not just illegal immigration, but legal immigration. And I strongly believe that that is true. I think for way too long, we have been getting loose. Fast and loose overly corporate. Overly driven by, you know, your kind of chamber of commerce crowd.

All of a sudden, we now have a situation where we have millions of people in our country, that are not seeking to assimilate, not seeking to assimilate, not seeking to be, quote, the melting pot.

But rather trying to reestablish their cultures from other countries, rather than becoming fully American. And that's been a long string of -- of decisions. And we go back and put it in perspective. We have 51 and a half million foreign-born people here in the United States.

The vast majority of whom, did not come here illegally, right?

But came here legally. Then they've been abusing the process and the system, because we've got this broad use of H-1B one visas. We have diversity visas. We have chain migration. We have everybody's cousin. Uncle, aunt, whatever. And there's the growing population here.

And this is now, unlike it was a century ago, right?

When we had the mass migration. The late 1800s, the early 1900s. And at that point, we didn't have a welfare state. We have schools that were teaching that America was great, or even the Constitution. And we had, you know, God in the schools, and we had our culture being elevated, not being criticized. And at that point, we stood for immigration in the 1920s. Right? We still flatlined it because everybody said, whoa, whoa, whoa. We have so many people in.

Our country was stronger for it. Today is worse. Because we have so many people coming here, who are not assimilating. We have schools that are not teaching people that America is great.

And we certainly are continuing to have a welfare state now, that is causing a big problem. So I think we should pause it. It's called the Pause Act. We should pause legal immigration, until we fix a lot of things.

Fix diversity. Fix chain migration. Fix H1 --

GLENN: Wait. Can you tell me what a diversity visa.

What is a diversity visa? I don't even know what that is.

CHIP: Diversity visas. Chain migration, these are all things being used currently to have expansive use of the ability of people to come into the country, and -- and say that they're -- you know, a family member, right.

An extended individual, in what we're calling chain migration. So you'll have a person come in, and instead of it being a close knit family member, right?

Instead of it being, okay. This is my spouse, or this is my child. It's cousins and aunts and uncles, and so forth.

And, you know, this is the kind of thing that we've got to reform. And including, H-1B visas. And including all the problems that we have here with birthright citizenship.

Obviously, the Supreme Court is going to hear the Trump administration's executive order on that.

But we should codify a new view of how we deal with birthright citizenship. You can only be a citizen, if you're born of citizen parents. Not because you were on our dirt. So these are -- in Texas, right?

We had a Supreme Court opinion, in the 1980s to educate the children. Of illegal aliens. Illegal alien children. We do challenge that, overturn it. And we should fix it.

Until you fix all those things. Fix illegal immigration.

Then we're going to lose our country. We're going to lose our culture, and I think we need to do that. So that's why we have to have a bill to pause it.

I just talked to police officer, the day before yesterday. And I was walking down the street, going into the store for Christmas. And he said, hey, Glenn Beck.

And he had this slight accent. I couldn't tell exactly what it was. And then he said, eventually, I'm Irish. I came from Ireland. I've been here for 20 years. My wife and I lived in Ireland.

I said, my gosh, does Ireland even exist anymore?

And he said, Glenn, it used to be. I go back every year, it used to be you could go anywhere, and you would have the Irish public.

And, you know, you could see Irishmen everywhere. And, yes, there were people from other parts of the world, et cetera, et cetera. But it was Irish!

He said, I can go down into my hometowns, small ones, and he said, I don't see another Irishman.

He said, the Irish culture is completely annihilated. He said, it's all mosques and Pakistanis and whatever.

And he said, is there ever anyone who will say, hey, wait a minute, the Irish culture, the American culture, the English culture.

The -- the whatever culture, that's important too! When is anybody going to step up and say, you know what, we -- we don't want to lose this!

By embracing that! We can have both. But not like this!

CHIP: Well, Glenn, and you know. And, by the way, the thing I -- since I got up and I started talking about chain migration. But just so you know, right? That's a program very specifically designed to bring people in from countries that we don't have significant immigration from. It's literally designed to diversify our immigration population.

GLENN: What!

Who cares?

CHIP: Right. And that's my point. And this is what's so wrong about our immigration system.

And it's being done that way. And by Afghanistan, all of it is being abused. And we have had this mass migration. And, again, you are the ardent defender of the First Amendment. So am I, and you can believe what you want to believe. Right?

And we would never want to insert the federal government into your belief system, like between you and God.

But what we have to remember about Islam is that it is a politically motivated group of individuals. Right?

This is -- when we look at the core, and we look at what -- you look at what the Muslim government is talking about. When you look at Sharia law, when you look at the tenets of Islam, there's a massive political component to it, and we have to remember that.

We have to remember. You actually read the words. Read what's being said. And look what's happening in Dallas.

Epic City is not just an accident. What happened was the growth and the promotion of Sharia law in the United Kingdom, in France, in America.
It's not an accident, okay? And this is well beyond, hey, you can believe what you want to believe. You can be agnostic. You can be Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim. We stand for that principle.

When you come here to annihilate and change your culture. Then you've got to approach that.

We -- we Americans to have approach that in a different way.

And I believe, we should pause immigration. We should be doing what the President is doing.

Remove a whole lot of the people dumped into our country under Biden with illegal immigrants, asylum, that were abused for all those abused by Biden and Mayorkas, and go around and make sure that we are resetting the table and reset our laws. And we should just pause for a while. And reclaim our American culture to your point about what you just said about Ireland.

GLENN: You -- you lay out -- I saw your press release, and you lay out what this bill will do, and I got to read this to the audience.

Because I can't believe you have to say this. It would end the practice of automatic citizenship, yeah, and chain migration.

Yeah, that's not what the Fourteenth Amendment says. That's not what it is about. That's not what it was written for. And the H-1B one visa program. Got it. Ensure immigration assimilation, got it. Now, listen to these last three.

This is what he is proposing we do.

Okay? We're not doing it. He's proposing we do this: Deny entry to Sharia law adherence.

Oh, I don't know. Yes!

I can't believe we have to even say that, out loud. Deny entry to Chinese communist party members. I don't know. Yes!

And the third one: Deny entry to terrorists!

This is a civilization that is on a suicidal path. If that can't happen. That's not -- it's crazy that that's not already happening!

Suicide. Just committing suicide.

CHIP: Well, the other element that we have to factor in is the welfare that is being doled out.

GLENN: Yes.

CHIP: To noncitizens in the form of not just food stamps. Medicaid.

All of the social programs in the federal government. But also our local schools and local hospitals to get inundated by people coming into the United States.

Knowing that they will get free health care and free education, and they might be able to then use birthright citizenship, to come here, to grow here. And none of this is about the melting pot.
And, Glenn, that's what I'm trying to make the case here to people. When you have people who came here, who largely shared our values. And when they came here, they wanted their kids to learn English. They wanted their kids to love America.

They wanted their kids to love our history and our founding. They appreciate what our country stood for. By the way, that mass migration occurred right after the Civil War. So our country has literally been at war. And people said, I want to go there. Because this country stood for something bigger and better. And people knew it. But they wanted to be apart of it. And they wanted to embrace it.

They didn't want to change it. That's not true now. Right? That's definitively not true.

United States Congress. Ilhan Omar.

When we openly and outspokenly, committed to changing America to be like her home country!

That's a problem. That is what is happening. And if we don't -- you can't win a war, that you don't acknowledge exists, Glenn. And there is a war being waged against our way of life. And against our culture.

So look, I've increased the legislation here. But it's also why I'm running for attorney general. And a campaign speech, you hear me.

We have to have states. That are standing up and leading this fight as well.

If we're going to save America.

GLENN: You brought up, you know, there's a war being waged.

I -- every alarm bell in me is going off.

Every alarm bell within me. We are -- we're in a war. We won't even recognize it.

I think the president has. But I think it's going to take a lot more than what we're doing right now. Look at what's happening in Europe.

France just happened their -- their ball drop, you know, for New Year's Eve.

They have it -- every year. They cancelled it. And said, just stay at home. And watch a rerun of it from another year.

That's insanity!

They just have surrendered.

The -- how serious are we at -- at preparing for a civilizational war.

CHIP: Well, I think on the positive side, we have an increasing number of people in leadership, who were understanding the threat.

In a way that they didn't a year ago, or five years ago.

That being said, we also have a long way to go and a very short time to get there. Right?

We have got to move quickly. If you see what's happening in Europe, right? And we go, well, they're 20 years ahead of us now. I don't think that's true.

I think Europe is a mere months, years, few years ahead of us, in terms of how bad it's gotten.

And I think we're now realizing, how much damage we've done over the last decade, in particular. Certainly, the last two decades in terms of the mass influence of people, that do not ultimately share our values. So I do think it's important that we support the president on what he's doing and removing bad actors, and making sure that we're removing people that need to be removed, or here illegally.

But if we don't reform our illegal immigration system immediately. And pause it. And freeze it. And reset who we are as Americans. And get people to understand that when you're here, you're going to embrace being an American. Then we're not going to save the country. Right?

So that's why I wanted to introduce this bill. It's why I introduced this bill. That's why I had to introduce several legislation to defend people from Sharia bill. That's why I've given a bill to take away the tax status for CAIR. We've got to get people to realize, that we need immediate change. That we can't wait. So right now, Congress is not codifying or advancing the ball on this front yet.

The president is doing it unilaterally. And I think that's a problem.

GLENN: Can the house actually get it done? Are we going to pass it? Does it have a chance of ever getting to the president's desk?

VOICE: Right now, we are socializing it, and there's a growing number of people who support the concept. And it's not on social media.

But we've got to get it socialized with the White House and the leadership of the House, to get it to the point of trying to enforce a vote. There's going to be a lot of resistance. There's going to be a lot of people, that are going to be listening to business interests. A lot of people who will say, well, I've got a certain culture in my particular district and so forth.

And we've got to ride the (inaudible) act and recognize, if we don't do this, then we have no chance to save the country.

Because if another 55,000 people come in on diversity visas this year, and another 55,000 coming next year, and then another 55,000 the following year, all from these supposed low immigration countries for purposes of diversity. In addition to the chain migration, in addition to H-1B visas. Right? Do the math. See what's happening.

And how many things are happening. So we've got to freeze that. And reset what we want to do for our country.

GLENN: All right.

It's called the pause act. Get online, and support Chip Roy at the pause act. Ask your Congress man. Your senators.
To join Chip on the pause act. Again, you can follow him on X, at Chip Roy.

TX. He's also running for candidate for attorney general. What is your website? Chip.

CALLER: ChipRoy.com. Pretty simple. Pretty straightforward, and I appreciate it. And look, this Christmas Eve and for everybody out there, Merry Christmas. We have the greatest country in the history of the world. We have to keep our heads up and put our faith in Jesus, and remember that it's on us, to pass it down to our kids and grandkids.

GLENN: Thank you so much, Chip Roy.

The END of 'Glenn TV': 14 Years of Truth Bombs, Tears & Glenn's NEXT Revolution | Glenn TV | Ep 475

It's time to say goodbye to "Glenn TV," but Glenn's radio program and "The Glenn Beck Podcast" will continue to be main staples on BlazeTV. After 14 years of "Glenn TV," Glenn Beck looks back at the warnings and predictions that defined the show. From predicting the Islamification of Europe to exposing the corruption in Ukraine years before the mainstream media, Glenn revisits the moments he challenged the experts and sounded the alarm early. He rewinds his predictions on Russia, ISIS, socialism, and the coordinated collapse of capitalism and Western civilization. Glenn also revisits his early reporting on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and the COVID lab leak — stories the media originally dismissed. Plus he gives a first look at what's to come with his new project, the Torch, debuting January 5, 2026.

The Western World is UNDER ATTACK... And THESE Shocking Stories are Proof

A wave of global instability is forcing Western nations to confront hard truths they’ve ignored for years. From Australia’s deadly attack and a media narrative that excuses extremist violence, to France canceling its iconic New Year’s celebration over “security concerns,” the cracks in Western resolve are becoming impossible to hide. This conversation exposes how denial, mass migration without assimilation, and media double standards are eroding public safety, cultural confidence, and the West’s ability to defend itself from growing threats.

GLENN: You know, there's more on the -- the shooting in Australia. Did you see the comment from the mom?

The -- the hero who disarmed. He's a hero. He's getting a lot of accolades.

But here's the family of Ahmed al Ahmed. No, no, no. That's the good guy. Hang on just a second.

That's the hero. I'm just looking through all of the stories. Here it is. Here it is.

Mother of the Bondi beach shooting suspect. The mother of Naveed Akram, who along with his father, allegedly killed more than a dozen people at a Hanukkah celebration, said on Sunday, insisted her son was a good boy.

Now, I mean, I can understand, you know, you wanting to believe that, because your son is your son. You know, but I don't think -- I don't think anybody in Rob Reiner's family is thinking the brother is a good boy. They might love him still, but he's not a good boy if he indeed did that.

STU: Yeah, there could be an element of thinking, right? Like, you know, he's been overcome by addiction, or overcome by mental illness. And I think he's a good boy underneath hat. You can have that Islamic extremist terrorist son if you want.

But what you would have to say I think accompanying that, was he got infected by this extremism. And, you know, by his dad who, you know, led him down a terrible path.

GLENN: Right. Her husband.

STU: Right. That's a plausible thing, if you believe. He can't be a good boy if he's murdering people, unless, of course, Glenn, you believe that the outcome was positive.

GLENN: Well, it was positive, yes.

She said, he doesn't have a firearm. Yeah, he does.

He doesn't even go out. He doesn't mix around with friends. Well, now you're describing a loner.

He doesn't drink, smoke, or go to bad places. Anyone would wish to have a son like my son. He's a good boy.

No. No. I'm safe to say, I don't want a son like that.

STU: No. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she was about to say, and he stays away from trans fats.

That's great, just doesn't have much to do with this particular incident.

GLENN: Yeah, I would say that. Also --

STU: Can I follow up, while we're in this realm here real quick with this audio. This is -- you mentioned this briefly. But let's play a game here: Can you find the logical problem with this particular audio from ABC News?

This is about the somewhat associated shooting of the pro-Palestinian group. Or the pipe bombing, from the pro-Palestinian group you discussed earlier this hour. This is a real clip, not edited.

GLENN: All right.

VOICE: Nowhere did they allege that any of these individuals wanted anybody to be harmed as a result of these pipe bombs. Specifically, it does appear that their aim was to sent a political message, as they said, prosecutors yesterday in this news conference.

VOICE: Carol and Page also discussed plans for follow-up attacks after their bombings, which included plans to a target ICE agents and vehicles with pipe bombs.

STU: Now, can you detect any issue with that?

GLENN: I found two.

I found two.

One, they're not targeting anybody with the use of the pipe bomb!

STU: Right.

GLENN: Now, maybe. Maybe nobody gets hurt like that.

But experience and history tells me. Sometimes when you don't know what you're doing, pipe bombs hurt people.

STU: Right. Yes.
GLENN: And sometimes when you do know what you're doing, pipe bombs hurt people.

That's the -- that's problem number one. Problem number two was, they stated they were then going to target ICE agents?

STU: Right.

GLENN: As if ICE agents aren't people?

STU: You know, Glenn, that is exactly what I came up with. I think, I've heard this statement. You mentioned the same sentiment earlier on the program. A lot of people are saying this. I guess, in their conversations that were, you know, picked off as we were going through this investigation. There were some similarities. If you think back to early environmental terrorist attacks.

ALF and ELF, some of those attacks -- not all, but some of those attacks were targeted at infrastructure, and things around the -- you know, the oil industry. But not -- you know, intentionally trying not to harm the workers or whatever.

And some of their I guess conversations back and forth echoed that sentiment. Like, let's put them this a place where people aren't going to be.

Again, I don't think that's good. I don't think of these people as heroes. But Hollywood would make movies over people like that and how wonderful and glorious they were.

But at the end, they seemed to ignore, that they had attacks planned against ICE agents. And the only way that makes logical sense is if you don't think ICE agents are people.

GLENN: Are people. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Dehumanize. Dehumanize. Dehumanize. That's why I've been saying, we've got to stop MAID. We have to appreciate life again.

We have to stand for life. All life!

If we don't, you can just say, well, that's not really a person.

You've got to stand for life.

One more story in this, just to show you how close we are to losing Europe.

The French who aren't -- are not used to waving the white flag.

You know, they're -- they're -- they're tough. They have decided on New Year's Eve, that they are not going to hold the fireworks show, that they always hold at the art drive.

So they always have a New Year's Eve concert and fireworks show, but this year, they've decided that they're going to scrap it, wait until you hear what they were going to replace it with. But they're going to scrap it because there are security concerns such as, quote, unpredictable crowd movements.
You mean, like the crowds that are coming over on boats and coming on to your shore? You mean those crowd movements? Because, I mean, I think we know what they're saying here. They're saying that they're very concerned that there might be trouble. There might be some sort of, you know, shootings or activity or terrorists. But they're not -- they're just saying, it's unpredictable crowd movements. And so we're -- we're suggesting that we cancel the decades old fireworks celebration on New Year's Eve.

That's like canceling Times Square. Okay?

We're going to cancel that. And instead, replace it with -- this is a quote.

With a prerecorded video to be viewed in the safety and comfort of your French living room.
(laughter)

GLENN: Oh. So we're watching an old celebration.

Why not? Dick Clark. We got all those tapes of Dick Clark. Let's just cancel New Year's Eve and Times Square and just play one from 1977. I mean, who didn't love that?

STU: Not only is that completely insane. It's also a great example of why virtual school didn't work.

Right?

You know, that's not the same thing. My wife say big fan of around this time of year. Every television has the Yule log on it, you know. And at his help you. It's nice. It helps you celebrate the season, a little bit. But it's not the same as going around the fire, and feeling the heat, it's not the same.
GLENN: Right. Yeah. There's no warmth. There's no warmth. But leave it to the French to surrender. I mean, we've lost France. We've lost France.

If they're not willing to say what's going on. Look, there's terrorists here. And we're afraid of a large crowd. And we're lost, because we let too many people in here. We have no idea who they are. And they're dangerous. And they want to kill us and kill our civilization.

We're working on that, so we can have this next year.

This year, we will to have cancel it.

But they're not saying that. They're saying, you know what, watch it from home. And it will be a videotape of an old one. Oh, okay.
